Lost Horizon

I'll see you at the warehouse...

...and bring my shipment.

Do not disappoint me, Cabron.

20 clicks to the border, guys.

Keep it tight, over.

Copy that, Mike.

I don't know, Dutch...

...something about this assignment.

It feels off.

Can't simply put my finger on it.

I was thinking the exact same thing.

Remember that operation you ran in Ecuador?

This feels just like it.

Don't play with me Terry.

It's not even funny.

S**t.

Damn it.

Shit.

What the hell, boss? You good?

What the hell is going on?

Eyes open.

Feels ike an ambush.

I'm moving in to check it out.

Hold it right there.

Hands where I can see them.

Please don't shoot.

What are you doing out here?

It's my car. I just need help.

I stand down. She's a civilian.

She's no threat.

I didn't expect anyone out here.

My car broke down and I was just trying to figure out what to do.

Terry.

What's going on Mike?

Can you fix this? Get it back on the road.

Yeah, I got this.

Let me have a look.

Hold tight and we'll figure this out.

I can't thank you enough.

Damn.

This ain't good.

The fan belt's gone.

Probably snapped miles back.

Engine has been running hot.

What's going on?

The engine's seized.

We can't fix it here.

Well, can you at least get me to the nearest town?

No can do. We need to move. We're on a tight deadline.

We've got to go, Mike.

We're sitting ducks out here.

Time's ticking away, Mike.

We've got less than 30 minutes before the border closes,

and tonight is our only shot.

Yeah, well, we can't leave her here like this.

It's not exactly a five-star resort.

You need to come with us.

What about my car?

Leave it.

Guys, let's move out.

Copy that.

Seriously?

You getting in?

I'm Mike, by the way.

Amelia, pleased to meet you.

So...

...what brings someone like you, out here?

I get that question alot.

You do realize we're in the middle of a war zone, right?

Well...

...the best stories don't unfold in the safety of a newsroom.

I'm a freelance war correspondent.

Ah, journalist.

We don't get your kind out here much either.

My bureau sent me here to cover the peace talks.

I've been on the ground for the past few days.

What's with the military trucks?

Where are you guys headed?

Guys, we need to pick up the pace.

17 miles to the border, over.

Copy that, Mike.

You're going to need to cross over with us.

It might not be that simple.

Look...

...it's been a hell of a day...

...I've been stranded since this morning, and...

...there's not much traffic on this road.

Yeah, well, it's not the safest place to be stranded.

Exactly.

Which is why I was robbed.

You were robbed?

Yeah.

A group of locals cleaned me out...

...took my cash, my phone...

...everything.

Left me with nothing but a story.

Did they hurt you?

Luckily, no.

I...

...sweet talked my way out of it.

I know some local lingo and stuff.

Look...

...I've got no papers and no ID.

Yeah, well, that's a serious problem.

If you get caught, it puts us all in trouble.

I didn't ask you to take me to the border.

I merely needed a ride to safety.

Yeah, well, it's a little late now.

We're almost there.

You need to get in the back.

Are you absolutely sure about this?

Yeah.

Stay low and be quiet.

All good?

Passport.

You seem to be cutting it close.

Yeah, we had some mechanical issues.

Set us back a bit.

Your visa states that you're here for humanitarian work

Yeah, that's correct.

Do you have anything to declare?

No. Just crossing through.

All good. You can go.

Wait!

We have a problem here.

And what might that be?

You forgot your passport.

Must have slipped my mind.

Thanks for catching it officer.

Good night, Mr. Foster.

Night.

What a rush.

I had serious doubts we were going to make it out of there in one piece.

Yeah, I'm not exactly an adrenaline junkie.

But I was cutting it close, right?

Well, seriously...

...thanks for getting me out of there again Mike.

Sure, no problem.

All in a nights work.

80 clicks to base camp everyone.

Keep the base steady. Over.

Copy that, Mike.

So...

...you're quite the contortionist?

I've been in tighter positions.

Good to know.

So, you're in construction then?

Yeah, you could say that.

Oh come on.

Listen up.

I'm not interrogating with the state's secrets.

Get down.

Stay here.

Going back to our right.

Copy.

Move in.

Move in.

Move in.

They have fallen back.

You okay?

Let's get you out of here.

How you holding up?

Any wounds?

I'm in one piece.

Just a little rattled.

I don't see anyone trailing us.

Guys...

...I think we're out of the clear.

Copy that, Mike.

Let's head to a safe spot...

Time for a pit stop and the damage check, over.

Time for a pit stop and the damage check, over.

There's an abandoned railway station up ahead.

Around 15 clicks south.

Over.

Sounds good.

Can you even make it that far Mike?

You're bleeding.

Ah, flesh wound, had worse.

Ah, flesh wound, had worse.

Head to the rail stop.

Stay vigilant. Over.

Stay vigilant. Over.

Who were they?

Copy that.

Why did they attack us?

I have no idea.

Could be any of the rebel groups in the area.

But the war is over.

This shouldn't be happening.

Not everyone's celebrating the peace talks Amelia.

Government grip is weak in this place.

You're gonna pass out. We need to stop.

I'm fine.

Why are you being so stubborn?

What are you trying to prove?

At least you'll have an epic tale to tell.

If anyone believes it.

You saved my life again.

Twice the one day I can't thank you enough.
