I'll, um, leave you to lock up after you get your things, if that's okay.
I can't be in there anymore.
No, of course.
I'm sorry.
She was a good person, she didn't deserve this.
(DOOR CLOSES) ADIDJA: Who lives here? Uh, nobody anymore.
But we'll be safe here.
Nobody's safe.
Are you hungry? Yeah? Come on.
Help yourself.
Whatever you want.
W would it be okay for a second? I've just got to find something.
Yeah? (SIGHS) (WOMAN SINGING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE) MARTIN: Excuse me, I'm looking for Mr.
Kasongo.
- That's him over there.
- Ah, thank you.
- Monsieur Kasongo? - Oui.
Ah.
May I? (GRUNTS, SNIFFS) Do you speak English by any chance? I I do, but not as much as I used to.
Ah.
(CHUCKLES) 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 - 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.
Uh-huh.
Men could never forget.
Really.
Thank you.
(CHURCHGOERS CHATTING INDISTINCTLY) So wh what happened? (CHUCKLES) Well, I'm pretty sure that he is not our man.
KASONGO (ON RECORDING): I do, but not as much as I used to.
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.
Okay.
Don't forget this.
The museum you borrowed it from probably wants it back.
(SIGHS) I never thought I'd say this, but I'm glad to see you.
MARTIN: Yes, me, too.
Georgia, this is 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 um, no, mind your head.
Just wait there a moment, would you? Can we have a word? Yeah.
Who's that? She was taken to be a soldier by one of the militia groups in the east.
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 gonna do next? Cure poverty? Oh, my God, you really don't think much of me, do you? 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 patronizing me.
I did it for your own good.
I promised your dad that I'd look after you.
And after Violet, you just weren't ready.
GEORGIA: In your opinion.
Hi.
Have you slept? (SIGHS) A bit.
On the plane.
I I'm all right.
I'm fine.
Georgia, I'm sorry.
I don'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.
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.
Oh, I'm sorry.
- I need to - Yeah, uh, the bathroom's that way.
Sorry, bloody malaria tablets don't agree with me.
(DOOR OPENS) (DOOR CLOSES) 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 that was all.
Then, 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? GEORGIA: Yeah.
Why? (SADIKI GROANING) (GROANING, WHIMPERING) That looks bad.
You should have someone look at it.
I'm not weak.
I'll be fine.
(SADIKI WHIMPERS) (MAN SINGING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE) 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 kadogos.
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 4x4 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.
(SIGHS) And how did he seem? W was he okay? Was he well? He was shouting.
Hmm.
Go.
We'll stay here and track down General Azikiwe.
(ENGINE STARTS) All right, let's go.
ARIEL: Are we there yet? Yes, I think so.
(CLEARS THROAT) Just give me a minute, and I'll start this thing, and Right.
Your Dictaphone? - Yes, my Dictaphone.
- (LAUGHS) I'll be back shortly.
Yeah.
(INSECTS CHIRRING) I've come to see your commander.
(TWO BEEPS) AZIKIWE (OVER INTERCOM): Oui? Am I speaking to Major General Azikiwe? Yes.
What do you want? My name is Alexander Ramsay.
Um, 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.
Research? What kind of research are you doing? It's for a book.
I'm I'm writing a a history of aviation in the Congo.
(CLEARS THROAT) Thank you.
Out of my way.
So a history book, you say? Yes, indeed.
Precisely, yes.
History is easy.
It's what's in the past.
This is true, yes.
Ah! (LAUGHS) - Rolls-Royce engine.
- Mm.
- Musical.
- Mm.
- (LAUGHS) - My favorite.
Oh, thank you.
Thank you.
(MARTIN CLEARS THROAT) Yes, history, I think, is, um is is is something that we can, um, hopefully all learn from.
- Don't you think? - Perhaps.
- (CLEARS THROAT) - Although sometimes I think nobody learns a thing in this life.
We just go around in circles.
- (SNIFFLES) - May I offer you a drink? No, thank you.
Thank you, sir.
So tell me what do you wish to know? As I said, I'm I'm, uh writing a a a book, a history, uh, basically, of, um, aviation in the Congo.
Mm.
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.
Well, um, the Air Force run all the radar for Congolese aviation.
And your unit assisted the government.
So I presume that you you would have been a party to the investigation (CLEARS THROAT) after Sankuru Flight 19 went down.
(CLEARS THROAT) I I'm I'm just trying to understand the accident in the context of the whole You can leave now.
(CLEARS THROAT) Yes, sir.
Well, thank you for your time.
Um (CLEARS THROAT) (DOOR CLOSES) That man saw me at the airport.
Sidney! Oui? (BIRDS SQUAWKING) Jesus Christ.
What are you doing out here? Ariel, get back in the vehicle now.
Oh it was very hot.
(ARIEL GROANS SOFTLY) Jesus, Martin.
What's going on? Relax.
- Was it him? - (SIGHS) Martin, was it him? - (REWINDING) - Wait.
Listen.
AZIKIWE: Perhaps.
Although sometimes I think nobody learns a thing in this life.
- Oh, my God.
- Yeah? That's him.
That's him! Follow them.
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 mom died.
Lose a mom, get a dog.
Suppose that's dad thinking for you.
His name was Peanut.
The dog, not my dad.
(GEORGIA LAUGHS) Why did he stick his head out the window? I think, just like you, I think it just felt nice.
Think it made him feel happy.
He'd also stick his whole tongue out, just sit there with it flapping in the wind.
(LAUGHS) (BOTH LAUGH) My mouth is dry.
That it is.
Here.
ARIEL: I need to meet Azikiwe in public.
I'll confront him.
- 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.
- 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 gonna let a blind man get himself killed.
(SNIFFLES) No matter what journey (THUD) Mar Martin? Martin? Martin? (MARTIN GROANING) Martin? Martin? Are are you okay? What happened? It sounded like you passed out.
Well, that would explain what I'm doing on the floor.
You should see a doctor.
(SIGHS) Listen.
(SIGHS) Listen, I'll I'll I'll be fine.
- Don't be ridiculous.
- (GROANING): Oh.
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? All right.
All right.
(GROANS SOFTLY) Thank you.
(MARTIN GROANS SOFTLY) I'll try not to be too long.
Don't worry about me.
- I'll be fine.
- Ah.
Be careful.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER, PIANO PLAYING) 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.
- Pleasure.
(BELL DINGS) (STUTTERING): Good book? (MAN SPEAKING ICELANDIC ON AUDIOBOOK) (PHONE BUZZING) MALE AUTOMATED VOICE: Beatrix hringir.
- Beatrix hringir.
- (PHONE BUZZING) Beatrix hringir.
Beatrix? I just wanted to call to tell you that I had the operation.
- I thought you should know.
- And? 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.
You're not a bad person, Ariel.
I thought perhaps you were calling me because of the package I sent you.
No.
Nothing's arrived.
It's it's nothing much.
I just knew your surgery was coming up (DOOR OPENS) - Oh, uh, Beatrix? - (DOOR CLOSES) Do you mind if I call you back in a little bit? - Okay.
- Thank you.
- Speak later.
- Martin? That was fast.
What did they say? Martin? Is that you, Martin? Martin? - (GROANS) - (YELLS) Don't move! (ARIEL GROANS, PANTS) Don't fucking move.
(PANTING) Stay still.

- Be smart.
- Yeah, I'll be - (PLASTIC CRUNCHING) I'll be I'll be smart.
Where is your friend? He's he's he's gone.
He's gone home.
He left a blind man alone? Yeah, I asked him to go.
His part was done.
It doesn't matter.
You are are the one he recognized.
You work for the general.
Where does this end? Being a lapdog to a man who murdered a plane full of people.
Dealing with the shit so he can keep his hands clean.
I'm no one's dog.
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 g general.
Me.
He has no idea.
Bitch never saw me coming.
So, who is in c c c control now? Huh? Who is gonna get paid now? I don't know I don't know Judith Gray.
I never met her.
Who did who who did the general tell you I am? Hey.
Hey.
Listen to me.
You you don't have to do this.
(GRUNTS, PANTS) Please, I I can I can just I can I can get on a plane.

(PANTING) (INSECTS TRILLING) Are you sure this is the place? (BIRD CALLING) (MEN LAUGHING, CHATTERING) (MAN SPEAKING SWAHILI) - Leave me alone! - (SHOUTING IN SWAHILI) (MEN LAUGHING, CHATTERING IN SWAHILI) (SHOUTING) Georgie.
Georgie.
No! I just want to talk to him! - Please! - Run! Run! Get Violet and run! What? Get Violet! Make sure she's safe! - VIOLET: Mummy? - (SOBS) Oh.

Shh, shh.
- (PANTING STOPS) - (EXHALES) (EXHALES) (INSECTS TRILLING) Ariel? The doctor sorted me out.
It was the bloody malaria tablets after all.
(REWINDING) ARIEL (RECORDED): You don't have to do this.
SIDNEY: I can do this so you won't feel a thing.
I can p p promise you that.
Oh, Ariel.
ARIEL: I understand.
(BIRDS CHIRPING) (INHALES SHARPLY) Oh.
Morning.
(INHALES) You sleep well? - No.
- No.
Right.
It should just be a few more hours till we get there.
(STARTS ENGINE) (BRAKES SQUEAK) (SHUTS ENGINE OFF) (INDISTINCT CHATTER IN DISTANCE) Excuse me.
Have you seen this man? - Has he been here? - No, no, no, no.
- No? - Haven't seen him.
Have you seen this man? Has he been here? (SPEAKS SWAHILI) Ndio, ndio, ndio.
- Yes, yes.
(SPEAKS SWAHILI) - You've seen him? - (SPEAKING SWAHILI) - You've seen this man? - Yes.
(SPEAKING SWAHILI) - Stay close.
(MAN CONTINUES SPEAKING SWAHILI) (SPEAKS SWAHILI) You buy, yes? GEORGIA: So you haven't seen him? (MAN SPEAKS SWAHILI) (SIGHS) - Adidja.
- (GOATS BLEATING) What's wrong? Adidja, what is it? Adidja! Adidja.
- (ADIDJA SPEAKS SWAHILI) - (HASINA RESPONDS) (ADIDJA SPEAKING SWAHILI) (SPEAKING SWAHILI) - Adidja, what's going on? - (SPEAKS SWAHILI) - HASINA: Do you know her? - GEORGIA: Yes, she's with me.
(SPEAKS SWAHILI, GRUNTS) (SPEAKING SWAHILI COMFORTINGLY) (CRYING) GEORGIA: Adidja, what's the matter? - Hasina Okafor.
I'm with the Red Cross.
- Okay.
- What did you just say to her? - (CRYING) 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.
This girl came here looking for her mother.
There's a graveyard for everyone who died.
Can you show me? (BIRDS SINGING) ADIDJA: I'm sorry for taking you here.
GEORGIA: It's okay.
ADIDJA: You're 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.
(CRYING) (SNIFFLES) (CRYING) (BIRDS SINGING) PIETER: Sorry about the interruption.
Now, where were we, my friend? SIDNEY: If the general f f finds out that I'm in any of this, it 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.
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.
Thank you.
You have a daughter? I did.
She died when she was three months old.
You know, then.
Yeah, I know.
(ENGINE STARTS) MARTIN: Look, I'm telling you, there's a man admitting to murder on this tape.
You understand legally this means very little.
(SPUTTERS) Would you just check him out? That's all I ask.
- You don't have a name.
- Oh.
Sorry to have bothered you.
I want to see all the e-mails between them.
All of them.
Thank you, Gabriel.
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.
- Yes, sir.
Thank you very much.
- What's this? - Oh.
It came for you while you were in the hospital.
Lord recognize my innocence.
Forgive me.
And do not consider me guilty of this act.
May this man's blood be on the one who commanded his murder.
Amen.
Well, I wasn't expecting you till 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.
Okay.
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.
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.
- (SIGHS) - Anyway, the people I sent Judith's hard drive to found a load of e-mails between her and Azikiwe.
She was working with him.
He was using army soldiers to run his personal coltan mine.
Judith smuggled the material out to Rwanda in aid vehicles, knowing they wouldn't be checked crossing the border.
A and Will must have found out.
And if he knew about that operation and the kind of money - it brings in - Right, but why would they keep him alive? (CHUCKLES) 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? Well, he doesn't know we're coming, - so we have the upper hand.
- You hope.
Yes, I hope.
You ready? (WHISPERING): Do you think she'll be okay? Our man's outside.
And when we're back, we'll find somewhere safe for her to be looked after.
Okay? Yeah, okay.
(DOOR CLOSES) (INDISTINCT CHATTER) Who are you? Can we speak to Sidney? - Sidney.
- What? Leave the room.
Move! - 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.
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.
- Uh-huh.
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.
Why do I care what you b 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 m m 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? (LAUGHING) We could have saved a great deal of time if you asked me before.
Will is in Rwanda.
- What? - Ruhengeri.
Where? The red house with wh 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) - (PLATES SHATTER ON FLOOR) Ça va, chérie? WOMAN: Tout va bien.
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.
(SPEAKING FRENCH) What is this? MAN: Hello? (IMPATIENTLY): Hello.
Will? WILL: Georgia? Oh, my God, Georgia.
Is that you? Georgia?
