Mongolian Death Worm

This whole place is falling apart.

What can I tell you, Mr. Manus?

You can tell me it won't happen again.

Until we know what's causing it, I can't keep it from happening.

You got a bad solenoid valve. Replace it.

This is the second one this week.

Yeah, I'm aware of that.

Did you do a diagnostic check on the conduit?

It's not the conduit. They're failing from input overload.

Go to the truck. Get the backup pump, okay?

Make sure it's gonna replace the number three in the south field.

- Yes, sir. - Go.

I don't have to tell you that every time we go down,

the red flags fly up all over Corporate.

I'm surprised they haven't sent somebody already.

And we don't need that.

I understand.

Do you? I mean, do you?

'Cause our little shipment is still in lower level three,

in a compressor room,

because you can't get confirmation from your clients

to let us know when they're gonna help us move it.

- The longer it sits there... - I told you.

I can only speak with them when they will speak with me.

Now, they've agreed to the terms of your deal.

They said it will happen.

You just don't pick up the phone and call these kinds of men.

We're running out of time.

Get me confirmation

that they're gonna help us move the shipment no later than Friday.

And let's not go down again.

Neither of us need more company.

Great.

Great.

Mr. Manus?

- What is it? - The number three pump in the south field

has completely failed. We need to shut down that sector quickly.

No! Don't do anything till I get there.

God! Doesn't anything work in this place?

Come on, let's go. Have him finish this.

Son of a...

No, come on! Not the car!

Come on.

- Back up! Back up! - Yeah, baby!

Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!

You can run, Daniel. We'll find you.

We'll find you!

You're gonna get your head shot off someday.

Well, today is not that day, my friend.

Well, Kowlan is not a man to be messing with.

You know, that half-breed is not right in the head.

I got it under control, Timur.

I told you not to get involved with him.

That? That's a tiny misunderstanding.

It's a non-event. That's not even an issue, really.

Kowlan's misunderstanding usually end up buried out here, my friend.

Well, there's not a whole lot here for me.

There's not a plot of land for me. Not Daniel.

When are you gonna give up chasing myths?

Come on, buddy. These aren't myths, they're clues.

- Okay, clues. - They are!

There's a fortune out here. You know it, Timur. You know it.

And every day, I'm getting closer and I'm getting closer.

You've been saying that for years.

No, this is different. I can feel it in my bones.

It's tangible. I can taste it. It is here. I know it's here.

You know Kowlan is gonna catch up to you one of these days, and when he does,

the only thing you're gonna feel in your bones is the end of his blade.

It's not gonna happen. That's not gonna happen. This is different.

I got solid leads this time.

Timur, I just need time.

Okay. And when you find your fortune,

you'll be reporting it to the authorities, right?

Of course. You know, yeah.

Yeah. Of course.

Timur, as far as I'm concerned, you are the authorities.

What you do with your share, it's up to you, buddy.

You know what? You look like you could use some meal.

Come by tonight, have some barbecue.

Yeah.

Just kind of short on funds right now, you know?

Wow, that's a big surprise.

Hey, it's on me.

Yeah?

I'm running up quite a tab with you, aren't I, Timur?

Well, you can pay me when you find your treasure.

That's the spirit. See, I love that attitude.

Well, I hear you're close.

I like that!

Yeah. Okay. I'll be right there.

- What's that about? - I've got half of one village

trying to kill the other half of another village over a goat.

I've got to go before it gets bloody. See you, partner.

Must be a hell of a goat.

Sepegal - Central Mongolia

Steffi, we just lost two more villagers.

When will others get here? We need more medicine!

I know, I know, I know. They're coming. I promise.

What is she saying? Who's coming?

It's just a myth. She thinks sickness is because of death worm.

- Death what? - Death worm. It's a legend of this land.

- Hello? - Hello?

- Hello? Hello? - Hello, Alicia. Can you hear me?

Hello?

- Hello? - Anything?

Static.

What about you? How're you doing?

Best I can tell, it's something with the engine.

- Can you fix it? - Not unless you have another engine.

It just gets better and better. I'm calling Central Unit again.

Hello?

No, I said Sepegal.

I can't stress how dire this situation is.

I mean, we'll try to get there, but... Hello?

- Hello? - What did they say?

All the air resources are tied up.

We're the closest ones to Sepegal, and we need to try to get there somehow.

- Great. - Yeah.

I'm gonna try to call Steffi again,

but this interference seems to be getting worse.

- Mr. Manus? - Careful with that stuff.

- So, what'd you find out? - Someone will contact us tomorrow.

It's always tomorrow with these guys.

You know what? We should get somebody else, just...

We're not dealing with an overnight shipping company.

These kinds of people work the way they work. No questions.

Now, they will come through, but... There is no one else.

These guys are gonna give me an ulcer.

Sir.

Go.

Matt didn't show up for work this morning.

His vehicle's still out here in the west sector.

None of his work was completed last night.

I think there's something else you should see out here, sir. Right away.

I'm telling you, I'm telling you,

in a matter of days, this place will be swarming with suits.

And everything, everything will be gone. Do you understand me?

- Sir. - I'm coming.

- Well, this looks promising. - Looks like the local authorities.

Ma'am.

- Car trouble? - Yeah.

I'm Dr. Alicia Brewer. We're with Doctors of Hope,

and we are in desperate need of transportation to Sepegal.

Sepegal.

Opposite direction. Sorry, ma'am. I have an emergency I must go to.

I know, but we have an emergency, too.

Okay? People are dying out there without our medicine. We can't wait.

Hold that thought, lady.

Long time no see. Field trip?

They say they're doctors.

Their vehicle's broke down and they need a ride to Sepegal.

Timur, come on. You know I don't have time for a detour.

- Don't do this to me. - Look, Daniel, I must attend to my call.

But my guess is that they may have some money for a lift.

I can't do this. I'm sitting on a solid lead.

Timur, come on.

I gotta get that translated ASAP.

You owe a lot of people right now, and it's starting to backfire.

- All right? - Yeah.

- Now, I've got to go. - I know, I know. The goat thing, right?

Thanks for your help, Daniel. All right? You're a real lifesaver.

He's gonna help you out.

Great.

- Thank you. - Ma'am.

Hey, did the officer tell you what my situation is?

How much?

- Excuse me? - Money for the ride, how much?

I take US dollars, Euros, gold. I even take tugrik.

What I don't do is give free rides, sorry.

Okay, Doctors of Hope is a non-profit organization.

Well, Daniel's taxi is not. Sorry, sister.

Okay, I'm not your sister. I'm a doctor,

and there's an outbreak in a nearby village and people are dying.

Well, then maybe you should hope for another ride to come by.

Wow.

How much? I mean, how much is it gonna cost us to go save lives?

What does a good deed go for these days?

Well, how much you got?

What is it like to be completely self-absorbed?

- What? - To have no conscience. No thought...

Just let me stop you right there.

You're gonna try to sweet-talk me out of this,

it's not gonna happen, okay? Just stop.

I'll wait.

We need money.

I don't trust this guy as far as I can throw him.

Yeah, well, neither do I, but we need a ride,

so how much have you got?

I think I got a couple hundred.

Who is he?

I don't know. Some greedy loser American expat.

You know our choices are slim

when the local authorities hand us over to this loser.

Well, this is robbery!

Just relax. We need a ride, and he obviously needs the money.

From the look of him, I say this is probably enough.

- Got your money. - How much?

Three hundred.

Come on, please. It's all we have.

Okay? I'll get you more when we get there. Double.
