You're being followed.

- Obviously!

A man called Hassan,

A paid cussword.

Paid by whom?

- Anyone who needs him.

The commissioner, the army, and sometimes

a slaver called Sulleiman.

This is the man you're looking for Doctor. Sulleiman.

- If you say so.

What now?

- Do you have the money to buy her back?

How much is her market value?

Let's see ... Rolls Royce here

costs about 75 thousand dollars.

I saw a photo of your wife ...

Therefore, 50 thousand?

It would take at least

a month to get this money.

They will cross the Red Sea by then.

What can I do?

There is another alternative,

or be it, rather a long shot.

This whole proposition is nothing else so far!

Now one has to assume that

Sulleiman has reached the desert.

And I think you need a "vulture" to find him,

I happened to have a "vulture". Interested?

- Of course!

Very well.

Thank you for that,

and do not leave the room.

And what about that fellow out there?

- I'm going to take care of him.

You know you have very little chance,

But, with my "vulture", you'll have a slight edge.

- Who is he?

Malik.

A year ago Malik's family

was taken into slavery.

He tracked them almost to the Red Sea.

- Did he find them?

Found his wife near the

fattening house of Zed Al Kabir.

She's been raped, Sodamized,

had her throat cut

Of the children, there was no trace.

Since then, Malik has lived apart

from his tribe, in shame,

waiting for the slaver who stole his family.

Who was it?

- Sulleiman. Your man.

Now you just need to stay here till dawn.

- Is there he usually shelter?

If he is curious enough.

Will he be curious?

- That you never know.

Cigarette?

- No, thanks.

Yes, of course, you are a doctor.

- Exactly.

Wait, wait!

My good Jamil ...

Come on!

Enough! Be put away!

Dongoro...

Dongoro ... are you a witch doctor?

Doctor, we have company.

Doctor!

We have company.

Mr. Brian Walker ...

- Malik...

I brought a friend. He may be useful.

Has he news of Sulleiman?

- Yes.

Sulleiman has robbed him.

- It's not news.

Of his wife.

I followed Sulleiman all the way from West Africa.

- This is important news!

One year I waited news

that Sulleiman is on the move.

Where is he now?

- I think he entered the Sahara.

I was left with only a thousand

dollars. If you will help, take.

With that it is possible to catch him.

This is for the camel, this for food,

this is for the weapon and ammunition.

But I travel alone.

I have not come all this way so

that I let someone else finish it.

Either we go together or go alone,

if I have to.

You ride a camel?

Know how to shoot a rifle?

- No.

Have you lived in the desert?

No.

Mr. Walker, your friend is indeed a fool.
