Adventure in Sahara Page #4

What are you waiting for? Entertainment?

Go back to sleep.

There must be a better way.

Company, halt.

They're firing at Agadez.

Company, double-time, march!

-Take care of him.

-Yes, sir.

Marrant, more ammunition. Hurry!

The company, they're coming back!

Company, attention!

Poor kid's been up there for 20 hours.

lt's torture.

l'd like to give that devil

a taste of his own medicine.

No, Poule, l wouldn't let anyone

deprive me of that pleasure.

l came a long way to get it.

That's how he killed my kid brother.

Your gun.

-Attention!

-l can't see! l'm going blind!

-Help! Help! Help!

-Silence!

Wilson, come back here.

Wilson, put him down.

He's dead.

You killed him,

just as though you took your pistol

and shot him between the eyes.

-You killed him and Ladoux and...

-Silence! Place him under arrest.

Thirty days solitary confinement

for insubordination. Take him away.

Company, dismissed.

Well, didn't you hear me?

Company, dismissed!

-Mr. Wilson? Mr. Wilson?

-Yeah?

-Be careful.

-l snagged a chicken sandwich

from Savatt's kitchen for you.

l'm getting better food in here

than l got outside, thanks to you.

That's all right, boss.

l'm just being true to my name.

You certainly are.

What do you do

with the bread and water they give you?

l eat that for dessert.

The men want you to keep your strength.

They'll be waiting for you.

-Only a few days more now.

-And then?

We'll see.

Today finishes Wilson's punishment.

Arrange to release him.

Yes, sir. The American's state of mind, sir,

it worries me.

That's nothing. l am certain

that he's had time to think and regret,

and l am sure that he is quite harmless now.

Yes, sir.

Gravet?

Yes, sir.

You will keep your eye on the American.

Did l ever tell you how l broke the bank

at Monte Carlo? You see, l had a system.

Wilson.

Hello.

Smoke?

-Feel all right? You look fine.

-That black hole is no Ritz Hotel.

-l'm still a little dizzy.

-Why don't you tell him?

All right, l will.

We've been waiting for your release.

We all agree that you're the man to...

Attention!

At ease. Corporal Dronov,

pick 1 2 men for scouting duty.

Yes, sir.

How are you, Wilson?

-Good as can be expected, sir.

-You'll join the patrol.

But l've just been released from solitary.

l'm pretty weak.

Don't you think it would be better

if l stayed here, sir?

No, l think it would be better

if you came along.

-What is it?

-Nothing, sir, just a little dizzy.

Take it easy.

There are whispers

floating around the outpost, ugly whispers.

-l think you know what l mean.

-Can you blame the men?

As a man, no. As an officer...

You're intelligent, Wilson.
