Lt. A.K. Waters: Here's the deal: it's been strongly suggested that we turn over Arthur and abandon these refugees out here in the bush. I'll tell you right now: I'm not gonna do that. Can't do that. Broke my own rule - started to give a fuck. And brought you guys along with me. We're about to walk into some serious shit. Before we do, I just like to hear what you guys have to say
about it. That's all. Speak freely.

Female news reader: [voiceover] The tension that had been brewing for months in Nigeria exploded yesterday as exiled General Mustafa Yakubu orchestrated a swift and violent coup against the democratically elected government of President Samuel Azuka. In a land with 120 million people and over 250 ethnic groups, there'd been a long-standing history of ethnic enmity,
particularly between the Fulani Moslems in the north and Christian Ibo in the south. The victorious Fulani rebels have taken to the streets as periodic outbursts of violence continue all over the country. Tens of thousands have been killed in the fighting or executed thereafter. Fearing ethnic cleansing, the majority of the Ibo have abandoned their homes, and are fleeing the city or searching for
sanctuary wherever they may find it. For now, General Yakubu has taken control of most of the country and appears firmly in charge. There's no word yet on the United Nations' reaction to the coup, but United States forces have already begun to evacuate its embassy.
Kelly Lake: Sir, Rules of Engagement?
Capt. Bill Rhodes: You will defend yourselves if you're fired upon, otherwise do not engage.
Colonel Emanuel Okeze: Lieutenant, His father was more than the president, he was the tribal king! That makes him
[Arthur]
Colonel Emanuel Okeze: Heir to the Ibo nation! It's a bloodline they must cut, the Fulani's will comb heaven and earth to find him
