Xi said, ``The thing does not

belong on the earth.

Tomorrow I will take it to the end

of the earth and throw it off. ``

Gobo said, ``I think the end of the earth

must be very far.

I think you`ll have to walk

for 20 days. Perhaps 40. ``

Xi said,

``I will start walking tomorrow. ``

Two thousand miles to the north

in the state of Birani...

...trouble was brewing.

It`s 35 miIIion to combat erosion

in the vaIIey.

-And 6 miIIion for improvement of the--

-HoId it, minister. We can`t expect--

Get out. We need the car.

That was Sam Boga`s gang.

You said they were in Cabinda.

-That`s what I thought.

-How many got away?

There were two jeeps.

Four got away.

-Sam Boga was there?

-No.

This time, he`s got to die.

Find him and kiII him yourseIf.

Bring him here.

Where is Sam Boga?

Where is your hideout?

Bring the one in the corridor.

Bring that one.

Where is Sam Boga?

Where is your hideout?

Take them...

...to the heIicopter.

They went south.

-I`II direct you from the heIicopter.

-Yes, sir.

Gas guzzIer.

Four of the eight assassins

got away in two jeeps.

The other four were shot in the

Cabinet room by the security guards.

-Bastards.

-The assassins wore brown T-shirts...

...the trademark

of the terrorist gang...

...led by the notorious Sam Boga.

However, eyewitnesses state Sam Boga

did not take part in the assassination.

It is assumed that he masterminded the

attack, some distance from the capital.

Sources announced

that the assassins killed...

...the ministers of education,

public works and agriculture.

The president, who survived the hail

of bullets with only a flesh wound...

...will be addressing the nation

in a few moments.

We did it! We did it! We got the

president, and five of his ministers!

You didn`t, you know. That`s him.

It was the wiII of the AImighty

that I was spared.

We mourn the deaths

of three members...

...of my Cabinet.

We extend our deepest sympathies--

He`s Iying. We got six.

I saw them go down.

You kiIIed three and wounded five.

And you Iost four.

Why do I have to work with

amateurs? Did you get away cIean?

Yes, we were in and out in two

minutes. They wiII never find us.

Attention.

-What happened?

-We ran out of gas.

-How Iong ago?

-About 1 5 minutes, sir.

Okay, Iet`s go!

Now, you teII me.

Where is Sam Boga?

Where is your hideout?

Next time you`re going

to be a bit higher.

I`II teII you, I`II teII you!

The banana forest at Dumgaze.

I`II teII you, I`II teII you! I`II show you.

The banana forest at Dumgaze.

I`II teII you. I`II show you where.

-Do you hear me?

-Right here, generaI.

-Banana forest at Dumgaze. Follow me.

-Right, generaI.
