- Yes ... I am.

It's quite close.

Do you mind if I walk with you?

No. Suit yourself.

- Thanks.

I heard about your problem

- Is it?

Yes. I hear about kidnappings,

disappearances, sale of slaves and so on.

Last year, about 5,000 people are missing.

Listen! I do not know who you are

or what you sell, but I do not like it!

And, yes, sorry. I'm Brian Walker

Anti slavery Society.

- What?

The Anti slavery Society.

You'll find our number listed

in the London telephone directory.

Reports to the UN and so forth.

What can you do for me?

- Very little, very little.

We have to try to stop traders

before heading to the Red Sea.

Thank you for your help.

Nice to meet you.

However, there is a gentleman

who could be of help.

I was free to make an appointment.

- How nice of you.

And where would I find this gentleman?

- In your hotel.

Doctor Linderbi,

this is Jim Sandell.

Captain Sandel, if you wish.

Captain Sandel?

You are a government adviser?

This government need advice, but do not

ask for them or wants to pay for them.

Whiskey.

- Soda water with ice and lemon.

Doctor Linderbi has a problem.

Explain.

This is my wife.

Kidnapped by the slave traders.

This is your wife?

- Yes. You have objections?

No. I admire people who have

the courage to defy the convictions.

It is now rare.

- In your profession.

- In any profession.

You need no courage

nor conviction to be in love.

I would not know.

Sorry, I can not help you.

Then why did you come here? And what

are you supposed to do for me anyway?

Jim is one of the best

helicopter pilot in Africa.

So, still working for this government?

- No. I work for myself.

Soldier of fortune?

A mercenary ... A whore.

But even whoring has its own rules.

I am expensive and I never get

emotionally involved.

My meter keeps on ticking through second sin.

Nothing against you personally, doctors,

but I can not afford to

work for an individual.

More important, individuals

can't afford to hire me.

I hope that you will recover your wife.

You can shake hands later.

Be prepared to leave before dawn tomorrow.

What're you talking about? As far as the

meeting goes, it was an unmitigated disaster.

It was a qualified success.

I do not want to pay a mercenary.

It is immoral.

Would you find it immoral if you

find your wife back?

Any way you're prepared to pay anyone.

- How can you say?

I know Jim rather better than I know you.

And franky, I find you more

surprising, Dr. Linderbi.

You must learn to trust people

whatever they do for a living.

I do not understand.

What are you here for?

You are a friend in need.

Come on!

Put that on.

The saftey is on the top!
