- I beg your pardon?

You've never handled one before?

The nearest I got was to

bandage the wounds on an occasion!

Well, just switch the saftery over,

point the gun and press the trigger.

The gun itself will do the rest.

I'll work it out somehow.

And you watch the road!

Incidentally, we haven't

discussed the price yet!

I'll talk about it

when you save your wife.

Then you can make a contribution

to my favourite Swiss bank.

Brian Walker hinted to me ...

- If I were a Robin Hood?

Nice. I told you what I am.

You act like as though I have a

moral duty to help you!

You probably have that attitude

because you're a doctor.

Handling the wound of the mankind

and that crap.

Or maybe it's just marriage.

It's generally accepted that the

single people are the selfish ones!

Leaving someone to weep over you?

Is not that little self indulgence?

This river is the border. They'll

have to cross by a boat or raft.

Then we'll stop them.

There they are!

They are almost across!

- What can we do?

I can't land over there!

- Why not?

Because they broke diplomatic

relations six months ago!

You want to start a new war?

- But who will see? There is no body there!

Let's go a little closer.

There she is! There!

Anansa!

- David!

Shoot, man!

David!

For God's sake! Shoot!

Jump!

Let's go.

Look!

David! No!

Don't lose our ammunition!

Guide them. And stop screaming!

The men want me to kill you.

They are superstitious.

And, frankly I must say, I did not have a

slave who's given me so much trouble!

But you're lucky, I'm superstitious also.

This is my last trip and

I want to make it a pleasent memory.

I've got a little money aside,

I'll buy a car, nice things,

Spend time with my grandchildren ...

- You can't talk like that!

You tried to kill my husband!

- The Pilot?

The other man.

- Ah the swimmer!

I admire his courage, but, believe me ...

Ansok!

I'm not going to kill the girl.

I'm not even going to kill Jamil.

I'll merely ask him

to leave our family.

If someone else wants to follow him

into the wilderness, go ahead.

And that's without pay!

But I do not want to leave you!

- No? - No!

We shall see. First, return

the money I gave you.

Why did you kneel?

I have not asked for it.

Is it because you see in me ... father?

- Yes, yes ...

I've always been like a father?

And forever I will always remain so.

Father! Father!

Now go and take care of slaves!

Thanks.

- Thank you.

Dr. Hemantha Sudasinghe (Sri Lanka)

Doctor! Wait!

Here, doctor!

Wait for me!

I want to talk to you!

Come with me!

Doctor, please!

Room 17, please.

Thank you.

What are you doing here?

Your life is in danger. Close it please.
