Have you ever been on a plane before?
Joshua.
I'll, um, leave you to lock up after you get your things if that's OK.
I can't be in there anymore. - No, of course. I'm sorry.
She was a good person. She didn't deserve this.
ADIDJA: Who lives here? - Uh, nobody anymore.
But we'll be safe here.
Nobody is safe.
Are you hungry?
Yeah? Come on.
Help yourself. Whatever you want.
Would it be OK if I just... I've just got to find something?
Yeah?
MARTIN: Excuse me, I'm looking for Mr Kasongo.
MAN: That's him over there. - MARTIN: Ah, thank you.
MARTIN: Monsieur Kasongo? - RAY: Oui.
Ah. May 1?
Do you speak English by any chance?
Uh, I do, but not as much as I used to do. - Ah.
Um, well...
I'm doing a research project
and talking to former officers from the Air Force.
Ah, it's been ten years since I left.
Ten?
This is probably a stupid question, but do... do...
RAY: Go on. - Well...
Do you remember a... a high-ranking officer
with a distinctive voice?
Sharp. Grating. Rasping.
No. Never mind.
There is a man...
Major General Azikiwe...
Well known for his voice that is as sharp as his temper.
Azikiwe? A-ha.
RAY: Men could never forget.
Really?
Thank you.
So? What... What happened?
Well, I'm pretty sure that he is not our man.
RAY THROUGH DICTAPHONE: I do, but not as much as I used to do.
MARTIN: Ah...
Yeah. You're right. That's not him.
However, he did give me a name:
Azikiwe, a Major General...
with a voice, apparently, as distinctive as the one that you say you remember.
OK. Don't forget this.
The museum you borrowed it from probably wants it back.
GEORGIA: I never thought I'd say this, but I'm glad to see you.
MARTIN: Yes, me too.
Georgia, this is Ariel.
ARIEL: Hi. I've heard a great deal about you.
I haven't heard nearly enough about you.
This is Adidja.
Um, Ariel, come in here, and, uh, no... Mind your head.
Just wait there a moment, would you?
Can we have a word? - Yeah.
MARTIN: Who's that?
She was taken to be a soldier by one of the militia groups in the East.
MARTIN: And?
And I saw her as I was driving away from the mine and I... I...
I wasn't thinking, and I couldn't leave her there.
You can't go around hoovering up all the child soldiers in Africa
because you feel sorry for them.
What are you going to do next? Cure poverty?
GEORGIA: Oh, my God. You really don't think much of me, do you?
MARTIN: Oh, Georgia, no—— - No. You had me blocked from the army.
Because you didn't think I could handle it
and now here you are again fucking patronising me.
MARTIN: I did it for your own good.
MARTIN: I promised your dad that I'd look after you
and after Violet, you just weren't ready for--
GEORGIA: In your opinion!
ARIEL
Have you slept?
GEORGIA SIGHS A bit on the plane.
Uh, I'm alright. I'm fine.
Georgia, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you
but I'm worried.
I'm bloody worried about what's happening to you.
I know. I'm sorry.
Look, I really do appreciate you coming out here.
GEORGIA: I've looked in all Judith's stuff
and there's nothing about Pieter Bello.
I can't work out where Will fits into all this.
MARTIN: Oh, I'm sorry...
I need to... - Yeah, the bathroom's that way.
MARTIN: Sorry. The bloody malaria tablets don't agree with me.
What was it like?
Um... It was, um...
It's strange.
Until it happened, I felt like I'd been sleepwalking
or running away from my old life, and... And that was all.
And when the bomb went off on that plane...
It felt like I woke up.
And I knew I wanted to live.
I just... I just knew.
It's human nature, I suppose.
GEORGIA: Yeah.
You were lucky.
ARIEL: Perhaps.
That man...
You're looking for this man?
Yeah. Why?
MAN MOANS IN PAIN
HE CRIES
ADIDJA IN SWAHILI:
SADIKI IN SWAHILI:
HE MOANS IN PAIN
PIETER: I'll show you myself. I'll show you the dead bodies.
What are you doing in here?
Hi.
My friend is hurt.
Could you help him?
I'm in the middle of something, yeah?
Bladdy kadagos.
Sorry about the interruption.
Now, where were we, my friend?
ADIDJA: I saw him on the screen
I know where he is.
MARTIN: You sure it's here?
This is where the man in the photograph is? Yes?
He said the name when he was speaking with Mr Bello.
And he said the name of the village, Masi-Kilembe. I remember.
I could take Judith's other car. There's a four by four in the garage.
MARTIN: Oh, come on!
This is a 15-hour journey through God-knows-where!
GEORGIA: Yeah, but it will still get me there quicker.
Did he say anything else? When you saw him?
Only the place.
And how did he seem? Was he OK?
Was he well? - He was shouting.
Hm.
Go. We'll stay here and track down General Azikiwe.
CAR ENGINE ROARS
Alright. Let's go.
ARIEL: Are we there yet?
Yes, I think so.
Just give me a minute. Just start this thing and...
Right. - ARIEL: Your Dictaphone.
Yes, my Dictaphone.
I'll be back shortly.
Yeah.
I've come to see your commander.
BEEPING
AZIKIWE ON INTERCOM: Oui?
MARTIN: Am I speaking to Major General Azikiwe?
AZIKIWE: Yes. What do you want?
My name is Alexander Ramsay.
Uh, I'm sorry to turn up unannounced, as it were
but I'm doing some research
and I would really appreciate it if I could have just a few minutes
of your time.
AZIKIWE: Research?
What kind of research are you doing?
It's for a book. I'm writing a history of aviation in the Congo.
Thank you.
AZIKIWE: Out of my way.
So, a history book, you say?
Yes, indeed. Precisely.
History is easy. It is what is in the past.
This is true. Yes.
Ah!
Rolls Royce engine! - AZAKIWE: Mm.
Musical. - AZAKIWE: Mm.
My favourite.
MARTIN: Uh, thank you, thank you.
MARTIN SIGHS
Yes, history, I think it's, um... it's... It's something that we can...
um, hopefully all learn from. Don't you think?
Perhaps.
Although sometimes I think nobody learns a thing in this life.
We just go around in circles.
May I offer you a drink?
No, thank you. Thank you, sir.
So tell me...
what do you wish to know?
MARTIN: As I said, I'm... I'm, uh, writing a... a... a book...
A history, uh, basically of, um, aviation in the Congo.
And there is a chapter specifically about, uh, Sankuru Airways.
As you're aware, there...
There was a systematic failure of aviation—-
I do not understand what you want of me.
MARTIN: Well, um...
the Air Force run all the radar for Congolese aviation
and your unit assisted the government
so I presume that you would have been a party to the investigation
after Sankuru Flight 19 went down.
I'm... I'm... I'm just trying to understand the accident in the context of the whole.
You can leave now.
Yes, sir.
Thank you for your time. Um...
MARTIN CLEARS THROAT
AZIKIWE IN FRENCH:
Sidney! - Oui?
MARTIN: Jesus Christ.
What are you doing out here? Ariel get back in the vehicle now.
ARIEL: Whoa.
It was very hot.
Jesus, man! What's going on? Relax.
Was it him?
Martin, was it him?
Wait. Listen
AZIKIWE: Perhaps.
Although sometimes, I think nobody learns a thing...
ARIEL: Oh, my God. - MARTIN: Yeah?
That's him! That's him!
IN FRENCH:
You remind me of my dog.
What? - No! Sorry, I mean...
He used to stick his head out the window in the back of the car.
We got him after my mum died.
Lose a mum, get a dog, suppose that's dad thinking for you.
His name was Peanut.
The dog. Not my Dad.
Why did he stick his head out the window?
I think just like you. I think it just felt nice.
I think it made him feel happy.
He'd also stick his whole tongue out
and just sit there with it flapping in the wind.
My mouth is dry. - I bet it is. Here.
ARIEL: I need to meet Azikiwe in public. I'll confront him.
MARTIN: Ariel. - I'll pretend I'm blackmailing him and...
I'll... I'll get him on tape admitting to what he did.
Look as far as I'm concerned, that bastard Azikiwe can rot in jail
but I am not going to put you at risk.
I'm... I'm asking for your help. I don't care about the risk.
MARTIN: I do.
Look, you promised.
Well, I lied.
I just wanted to keep an eye on you, stop you doing anything stupid.
I'm not going to let a blind man get himself killed.
No matter what journ...
THUD
Mar-Martin?
Martin?
A GRUNT
Martin? Martin?
Are you OK?
What happened?
ARIEL: It sounded like you passed out.
Well, that would explain what I'm doing on the floor.
You should see a doctor.
MARTIN SIGHS
MARTIN: Listen, I'll be... I'll... I'll be... I'll be fine.
ARIEL: Don't be ridiculous.
If you aren't well, you can't help me. You can't help your friend.
So, would you please go to the hospital right now.
Alright. Alright.
ARIEL: Thank you.
I'll try not to be too long.
Don't worry about me. I'll be fine.
Be careful.
Excuse me.
Excuse me!
Where's the nearest hospital?
Rue Gamber.
Not too far from here, so it should be fine.
There you go.
Thank you - RECEPTIONIST: Pleasure.

ARIEL: Beatrix?
I just wanted to call to tell you that I had the operation.
I thought you should know. - ARIEL: And?
BEATRIX: I won't know for a while.
I'm in Kinshasa. I came.
I'm glad.
I'm .I'm
I didn't like the way we left things. I...
I'm finally trying to do a good thing.
BEATRIX: You're not a bad person, Ariel.
I thought perhaps you were calling me because of the package I sent you.
BEATRIX: No. Nothing's arrived.
It's... It's nothing much.
I just knew your surgery was coming up...
DOOR CLICKS OPEN
ARIEL: Oh. Oh, Beatrix...
Do you mind if I call you back in a little bit?
BEATRIX: Oh, OK. - ARIEL: Thank you.
BEATRIX: Speak later.
Martin? That was fast.
What did they say?
Martin?
Is that you, Martin?
Martin?
SIDNEY: Don't move.
Don't fucking move.
Stay still.
Be smart. OK?
OK. OK.
OK.
SIDNEY: Be smart. - Yeah, I will...
FRIDGE DOOR CLICKS OPEN
Will be...
I will be... I will be smart.
Where is your friend?
He's... He's gone. He's gone home.
SIDNEY: He left a blind man alone?
ARIEL: Yeah, I asked him to go. His part was done.
It doesn't matter.
You ar-ar-are the one he recognised.
You work for the General?
Where does this end?
Being a lap-dog to a man who murdered a plane full of people?
Dealing with his shit, so he can keep his hands clean?
I'm no one's dog.
ARIEL: Sure you're a dog.
You're a coward.
You're here to murder a blind man because he knows the truth.
You don't get it. Do you?
I killed your friend, Judith Gray. Huh?
Not the general. Me.
He has no idea.
Bitch never saw me coming.
STUTTERING: So, who's in control now?
Huh?
Who is gonna get paid now?
ARIEL: I didn't know... I didn't know Judith Gray.
I never met her. Who did... Who did... Who did the General tell you I am?
Hey.
Listen to me. You...
You don't have to do this.
SIGHS
Please. I... I can... I can just... I can get... I can get on a plane.
I can just go home.
I can do this so you won't feel a thing.
STUTTERING: I can promise you that.
ARIEL: I-1-I understand.
I understand.
ARIEL: Sorry. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
SIDNEY: Here.
I will guide you.
Yeah.
Thank you.

Morning.
You sleep well?
No.
Right.
It should just be a few more hours until we get there.
DISTANT CHATTER
Excuse me. Have you seen this man?
Has he been here?
No? - WOMAN: No, no, no.
GEORGIA: No? - WOMAN: I haven't seen him.
GEORGIA: Have you seen this man? Has he been here?
SELLER IN SWAHILI: Ndio. Ndio, Ndio.
Yes. Yes. Munifate. — You've seen him?
Amekuwa hapa, amekuwa hapa. - You've seen this man?

HASINA IN ENGLISH: Do you know her? - GEORGIA: Yes, she's with me.

Pole sana.
Mama yako aliikufa Ile siku mu mikono ya ba rebelles.
Iko mbinguni sasa hivi, pamoya ha bengine.
Kweli.
GEORGIA: Hey, what's the matter?
HASINA IN ENGLISH: Hasina Okafor. I'm with the Red Cross.
What did you just say to her?
Last year a militia group came to this village.
They took some of the children to replenish their numbers.
Everyone else?
They killed.
There wasn't a single survivor.
Oh, God.
HASINA: This girl came here looking for her mother.
There is a graveyard for everyone that died.
Can you show me?
ADIDJA: I am sorry...
for taking you here. - GEORGIA: It's OK.
ADIDJA: You are angry. I tell you I will find that man
and... - I understand.
Listen, if you'd just told me you wanted to find your family
I'd have taken you.
I would.
I know it's been a really long time since you've been able to trust anybody
but I promise you, Adidja, you can trust me.
Promise.
PIETER: Sorry about the interruption. Now, where were we, my friend?
SIDNEY: if the general finds out that I'm in any of this
this is the end.
You hear me?
Time to get paid, Sidney.
Once it's done, Azikiwe will have no choice.
Gut the bitch and get paid.
Get out.
What are you thinking about?
Oh, uh...
It doesn't matter.
I'd like to make my mind busy with something else.
I was thinking about my daughter.
I was thinking...
how it's not so easy to make the bad things that happen just disappear.
MAN: Thank you.
You have a daughter?
GEORGIA: I did.
She died when she was three months old.
You know, then?
Yeah, I know.
MARTIN: Look, I'm telling you.
There's a man admitting to murder on this tape.
OFFICER: You understand legally this means very little.
MARTIN: Would you just check him out? That's all I ask.
You don't have a name?
No. Sorry to have bothered you!
I want to see all the emails between them.
All of them.
Thank you, Gabriel.
I really appreciate it.
Bonjour.
I would like to see everything recorded on your security cameras yesterday.
Uh, no, sir. That's not allowed.
I would like to see everything recorded on your security cameras yesterday.
And I would like to see it now.
There. That's him.
Show me where he takes him.
Hold it right there.
Can you go any closer?
Thank you. Thank you very much.
BEATRIX: What's this?
FRIEND: Oh, it came for you while you were in the hospital.
SIDNEY IN FRENCH:
I wasn't expecting you until the morning.
Are you sure this is the best place to be?
It's the last place they're going to look right now.
And just in case, I hired a little security. - GEORGIA: Yeah, I noticed.
Hi.
I tried to not wake her up. - May I?
Thanks.
I wish I slept like that.
Ariel and I went to see Major General Azikiwe.
He's definitely the man who planted the bomb.
OK.
But then I had to go out and get some medication.
I left Ariel alone.
And when I got back to the hotel, he was nowhere to be seen.
One of Azikiwe's men took him.
I went to the police.
It was a total waste of time.
I should never have left him.
But you couldn't have known.
I mean, if anyone could find him, Martin, it's you.
No. He's gone, Georgia.
He knew too much.
Anyway, the people I sent Judith's hard drive to
found a load of emails between her and Azikiwe.
She was working with him.
He was using Army soldiers to run his personal coltan mine
and Judith smuggled the material out to Rwanda in aid vehicles
knowing they wouldn't be checked crossing the border.
And Will must have found out.
And if he knew about that operation and the kind of money it brings in.
GEORGIA: But why would they keep him alive?
I don't know.
Martin, I'm really sorry about Ariel.
I've traced the owner of the vehicle that took him.
And I want to pay that man a visit in the morning.
Is that a good idea?
He doesn't know we're coming
so we have the upper hand. - You hope.
Yes. I hope.
MARTIN: You ready?
Do you think she'll be OK?
MARTIN: Our man's outside.
And when we're back
we'll find somewhere safe for her to be looked after. OK?
Yeah. OK.
IN FRENCH:
Can we speak to Sidney?
Sidney!
SIDNEY: Oui?
IN FRENCH:
How did you find me?
MARTIN: It doesn't matter. The point is we did.
And the people who led us to you so quickly
won't take it kindly if I or my friend are harmed in any way.
SIDNEY: Get out.
It's my son's birthday.
Does he know that his father's a murderer?
You killed Judith Gray and I suspect Ariel Helgason.
So you say. - MARTIN: Mm-mm.
I have CCTV footage of you leading Ariel out of the hotel.
And thanks to him
I have you on tape admitting that you killed Judith Gray.
Now, we could take that tape to Major General Azikiwe.
SIDNEY: Why do I care what you bring to the general?
Because the general and Judith Gray were in business together.
But you admit on that tape
that the general didn't order Judith's death.
And it's very apparent that you were working for Pieter Bello.
GEORGIA: I saw what Bello's men did to the soldiers at the mine.
You were trying to take over Azikiwe and Judith's operation
you and Bello.
I have been Azikiwe's friend for many years.
Many loyal years.
All I care about is how Will Mason is involved in this.
I just want to find Will.
Will?
You're looking for Will?
HE LAUGHS
We could have saved a great deal of time if you asked me before.
Will is in Rwanda.
MARTIN: What? - SIDNEY: Ruhengeri.
Where?
The red house with white pillars, just round the corner of the New Market.
I've seen it myself.
And I'm supposed to just believe you?
WOMAN GASPS - PLATE SMASHES
IN FRENCH: Ca va, cherie?
WOMAN IN FRENCH: Tout va bien.
MARTIN: If you're lying, we will go to the general
we will tell him that you killed Judith Gray
and we will tell him that you have been colluding with Pieter Bello.
Speak with him then.
IN FRENCH: Je suis avec deux personnes qui veulent parler a': Will..
Des Anglais.
What is this?
VOICE: Hello?
- Will?
WILL: Georgia?
Oh, my God, Georgia. Georgia, is that you?
Georgia?
