The Dogs of War Page #3

One of the bastards drove

a bayonet through his throat.

We were right there

with the camera.

We got it.

Then they ripped the film

out of the camera...

and herded us back here.

I'm surprised Kimba

I ets you people in here.

I'll be more surprised

if he lets us out.

How'd he get the job?

Well, after

they won independence...

there were three candidates

for the presidency...

General Kimba...

a Colonel Bobi...

and a physician,

a moderate called Dr. Okoye.

Okoye wanted to maintain links

with the mother country...

while our two gallant

freedom fighters...

ranted about

neocolonialism, et cetera.

Kimba got elected.

Don't ask me

why he won over Bobi.

From what I've heard,

nothing to choose between them.

A week after

Kimba took office...

he forced Bobi into exile

and threw Dr. Okoye in prison.

Any opposition left?

You don't oppose Kimba.

That's treason.

For that, he has

your entire family murdered.

Nobody really knows

what's going on here.

You'd think

whatever his name is...

would come in here

and kick him out.

He's no threat

to any other country.

He's content to stay

within his borders...

and slaughter his own.

I mean slaughter.

Can't you smell it?

Trouble is...

there's so much of it

everywhere else in the world...

nobody wants to know.

Right. You're a quiet one.

Bird-watching's

a quiet business.

How would you know?

You're not CIA, are you?

You're hardly KGB.

Thanks for the drink.

You are, aren't you?

You're f***ing CIA.

This is President Kimba's

official residence.

It belonged to the British

governor in colonial times.

You live in a place like that,

I'll bet you stay home a lot.

The president

no longer lives here.

God spoke to him in a dream.

He told him he should live

among his warriors.

Where is that, the jungle?

He lives at the garrison.

In 1937,

the colonial government...

erected new ministerial offices.

It was the first electricity

in Zangaro.

A year later,

the Grand Pavilion was built.

At the spring assemblies...

as many as a thousand people

would dance inside.

The chandeliers

were shipped from Europe.

You got a passport?

Why do you ask?

I can't believe you stay here.

This is not America, Mr. Brown.

What I do is never governed

by choice...

only by circumstance.

That's not true.

Is Kimba Christian?

He's head of our church.

I saw a couple of nuns

and a priest when I got here.

How do they feel about that?

They went away,

but they're coming back now.

There were some difficulties.

I'll bet.

But now that

President Kimba's name...

is included

in the Lord's Prayer...

there are no more problems.

Is that where he lives?
