than your railway.

You're leaving?

You've done enough.

You honor your father's memory.

- Peace be upon you.

- Goodbye, Marji.

- I hope we meet again.

- God willing.

Goodbye.

Peace be upon you.

Marji, I'm worried

you won't find the next well.

The trail's too dangerous

for the boy.

Goodbye.

Let's follow them.

- Why?

- Help me pack.

Why?

You want them to die of thirst?

We can't leave them.

I'm not going.

Why did you follow me then?

Can you survive alone?

I can take care of myself.

So now you can take care

of yourself?

- Why did you follow me then?

- You're not my father.

Come pack our things.

This trail is for men.

All clear!

Tracks from yesterday.

They lead out of the canyon.

You sense something?

No.

Get back, boy!

Don't fall.

It's good.

You see them?

- Save your brother.

- We won't leave you.

- Go! I'll cover you.

- Run!

- Why did you come back?

- It's a trap.

Let's face them.

Got him!

Run.

Get up the mountain.

- Where are they?

- I lost them.

You're surrounded.

Surrender and you'll have peace.

We don't want you.

We just want the camels.

We lose the camels, we die.

Are you alright?

- Kill them!

- I'll get them.

Say your prayers, pilgrims.

- Hey, brothers.

- What?

- The view's better from here.

- Here we come.

We're coming for you, boys.

Make a run for it!

Too late for prayers,

you're as good as dead.

Don't listen to them.

I'm not scared.

Remember our father.

"The strong eat the weak."

We're stronger than them.

Get some sleep, brothers.

Don't sleep, little doggies!

Hey, I think

they've really fallen asleep!

- They're dreaming.

- Hey, boys,

no sleeping in bandit country.

Don't sleep.

- Hilayal, let's wake them.

- Good idea.

Listen.

If anything happens,

climb up the mountain.

When it's safe, wait by the well.

Someone will come.

You hear?

You hear?

I hear.

Get up, Theeb!

Hussein!

He got away, kill him!

Where's the boy?

Little doggy?

He's in the well.

Why are you hiding,

little doggy?

I missed him.

Cut the rope.

Hussein!

Hussein.

Answer me, Hussein.

Hussein!

Hussein.

Hussein.

Over here!

I'm over here.

Hey.

Please, man.

Hey.

Answer me.

I'm begging you, answer.

Water.

Water.

Let me drink.

Get it over with.

Get it over with.

I swear I'll find you!

I swear I'll kill you!

Somebody help me!

I'll get you, little dog.

There's nobody out there.

Help me!

I'm the only one

who can help you!

Help me!

That's dangerous!

Don't be scared.

Don't be scared.

Don't be scared.

Why were you

with the Englishman?

- Shut up.

- Silence.

Did I bring you here?

Your people put you in this mess.

You killed them.

Didn't I say,

"Surrender and you'll have peace"?
