Hey, Amigo!
Si, señor!
Run, boys, run.
Here we go.
Hola, Caribbean center, this is Citation November 3 niner 8
Charlie Juliet request IFR clearance
to San Juan direct Opa Loca.
Roger that.
Have a safe trip.
Dan. . .
good job!
Thanks.
The folks at Empire Mortgage
are gonna be really happy about this.
We'll wire the money to your account.
Great.
Got another job for you-- a Lear down in Haiti.
Haiti?
I don't know, Joey.
I think I'm gonna pass on this one.
The repo business has kinda lost it's charm for me.
Hello, Dan.
What do you want, Tony?
I need your help.
I don't see that happening.
Just listen to me.
Like you listened to me after the crash?
Did you ever think about how I felt?
Hum?
Did you ever ask?
Mark was my best friend.
You were like a father to me.
You testified against me, Tony.
I haven't had a legitimate flying job since.
All you cared about was puttin' the blame on me.
You were in the left seat, Dan--
pilot in command.
That wasn't the whole story, and you know it.
What can I say?
Losing a son does things to a man.
What do you want?
It's Ann.
She's in trouble.
Her missionary group has pulled out
of a small village in Columbia.
She refused to leave.
Narco terrorists connected with Al Qaeda
control the entire area.
It's dangerous, Dan, it's very dangerous.
I've talked to her on the radio.
I've begged her to leave.
I can't lose another child!
Well, what do you want me to do about it?
She'll listen to you, Dan, she loved you.
That was four years ago.
We haven't even spoken since!
Just try!
She won't listen to me.
Sorry.
These people answer to a higher power than you.
A higher power--
I too answer to higher powers!
They will answer to me.
Haven't you given them enough misery?
It is you who have filled their heads with fantasies--
fantasies about heaven and about hell.
Maybe it would be better for them if it was you who left.
If you have any decency at all,
you'll return these men to their families and leave us alone.
Decency? (laughs)
You make me laugh.
I am beginning to lose my patience with you.
This village will grow my crop. . .or else.
Vamanos!
I can't lose another child!
She'll listen to you, Dan.
She loved you.
Just try!
I'm glad you decided to call.
I was surprised.
What made you change your mind?
You know what.
What's this?
That's my stuff, I'm going with you.
Oh no, you're not.
I agreed to go down there and get her,
and bring her back, but not with you!
I know where she is.
I can read a chart.
You're not going to help me in the jungle with a wheelchair.
Just find her and bring her back,
and the plane is yours!
Thanks.
Tony. . .I would have done it for nothin', but thanks!
Hey!
Does anybody speak English around here?
Yes, señor.
Who can I talk to about getting fuel for my buggy there?
I have the best fuel in the jungle.
Good. Can you top it off with jet A?
Yes. Where is it you're headed, señor?
Right there.
Alto Risco.
Not a good place to visit, sir.
It's a troubled time down there.
General Salazar, he's a local warlord.
He forces the villagers to grow and harvest his drugs.
Not good.
It is a very bad time down there.
Got some food in there?
Yes! We have the best cook in all Santa Rita!
My wife! C'mon.
Excuse me, buen probecho.
I hear you are going to Alto Risco?
Yeah. . .I am.
Excellent!
This is a blessing!
Why?
I will go with you!
I don't think so.
I am sorry. My apologies!
I am Mateo Barrero!
Dr. Mateo Nestor Palacio Lugo Abraham Concepcion, the Second.
That's a long name. I'm Dan.
Well, you know, down here we use
both our father's and mother's name.
I guess in my case, both their parents also.
Fascinating.
As you see, I am a medical doctor.
Well uh, I can't take anybody.
But it was nice to meet you, Doc.
You're going to need somebody.
I mean, It's a very hard place to find.
And I know Alto Risco very well.
You've been there?
Of course, that's my work!
I go to all the villages.
How's the landing strip?
It's grass.
Oh, there's another doctor down there, a missionary doctor,
female-- do you know her-- Ann Williams?
Annie!
Yes! We went to med school together.
All right! The shipment has arrived!
They bring medical supplies and equipment
and we are opening a new hospital for the region.
A great blessing to all the people.
And you could be a great blessing
to me and to Alto Risco.
Me?
Nice to meet you, Doc.
Your plane?
