Le dernier vol du flamant rose Page #4

---

I feeI everyone's against me.

You got this far,

that's what matters.

We promised it to each other.

lf one of us is missing,

the other must search.

When he Ieft,

l made him swear to stay

by his plane if he crashed.

You did weII.

It's his onIy chance of survival.

Thanks for your support.

That you, Ma'am?

- I need...

- No probIem.

Just caII me. I'II come.

HeIp me, hurry.

Get me a rifle!

And a saddle blanket!

You realize what you're doing?

We'II be spotted.

I knew it was crazy to take you.

Here.

Go on!

I heard of your escapade.

So far, I trusted you.

You disappoint me, Ma'am.

I can still send you back to camp.

Don't force me to.

They saw a camel

with a man tied to it.

A Jesuit wandering in the desert,

who got lost.

He was aIive, but unconscious.

No one knew how Iong

the camel bore him.

He was saved

by its survival instinct.

Camels search endlessly

for a waterhole.

He thought

the Good Lord had saved him!

Lancaster doesn't have a camel,

but one can believe in miracles.

I'II believe anything, Louis.

- Thanks for your lovely tales.

- You're weIcome.

Ma'am,

behind that mountain is the Tenere!

The Tenere!

Know what I feeI?

Great pride that this vast area

belongs to us.

From Mauritania to Sudan,

the whole Sahara is French.

Tell the men we attack before night.

We couId still avoid a showdown.

ReaIIy? How?

I didn't come here to turn back.

Let me speak to him again.

No, you failed once,

don't be foolish again.

I'lI get him

to surrender peacefully.

The terrain's against us.

We may lose a lot of men.

Firhoun and his men are weII-armed.

How do you know?

I'm guessing.

He's sure of himseIf.

He needs a fight to assert his wiII,

you're giving him that opportunity.

What do you lose

if I deliver Firhoun?

Let me try...

Give me a few hours.

AII right.

and Vasseur with you.

I'd prefer Adua and Louis.

And Si Ahmed! It's settIed.

Thanks, Captain.

Stop!

Firhoun!

It's too Iate now!

"Forgive us our trespasses,

"as we forgive those

who trespass against us.

"Lead us not into temptation,

"but deliver us from eviI.

"Amen."

You're through, Lt Chauvet.

That's the result

of your two-bit humanism.

You were manipulated

by those you had to control!

You thought you were famiIy

because you slept with one?

Your attitude amounts to treason.

We civilize savages.

The Tuaregs have slaves:

I'm anti-slavery!

At Ieast Adua's death freed a slave.

Don't soil our memory of Adua.

Right, keep lecturing me.

I'm sick of your nonsense.

Louis died because of you.

It's on your conscience.

Sacrificed for your silly ideals.

Lieutenant!

Tie him up for the night!

Captain, not that,

not between Frenchmen.
