-Yes? -RICHARD: Amelia?

Yes, sir.

Hi. How's everything?

Everything is okay, sir.

Mrs. Rachel told me. I am very sorry, sir.

How's Mrs. Susan?

She's better now. They're going to have to operate, but...

Look, Rachel's flying in tonight.

She's gonna find someone to take care of the kids so you can go.

Thank you, sir. Thank you. I really appreciate it.

So, look after them, okay? Don't tell them anything.

No, no, no. Don't worry, sir. Don't worry. Okay.

-Put Mike on, please. -Yes, Sir.

Mike? Your dad is calling.

-Hi, Daddy. -Hi, sweetie. How are you?

Good. Dad, guess what? Today they brought hermit crabs to class.

Oh, really?

I held one in my hands. It bit me. It really didn't bleed, but...

Dad? Are you okay?

I'm okay. Everything's fine.

Mariana wanted to take one home. But the teacher didn't let her. She was...

I don't want to go to sleep. I don't want to go to sleep.

Mike. Mike.

DEBBIE: Amelia?

Amelia?

Could you leave the light on?

(IN SPANISH)

But I'm scared.

But I'm scared that what happened to Sam is going to happen to me.

Sam died while he was sleeping.

No, baby, no, no.

That only happens to some babies when they're really, really little.

Your brother is already high in heaven, baby.

I'll sit here with you. But you can't talk anymore, okay?

Go to sleep.

(SHUSHING)

(PHONE RINGING)

But today is my son's wedding, sir.

RICHARD: Cancel your son's wedding. I'll pay for another one,

I'll pay for a better one. I need you to do this, Amelia.

Everything is ready, sir.

Can't anyone come to take care of the kids? It's just one day, sir.

How do you expect me to find someone from here?

Susan's still recovering, and Rachel can't make it to take care of the kids.

Can't do it. Hold on.

We're really counting on you, Amelia. I'm sorry, but you have to do this.

-But... -Goodbye.

WAITER: Sorry, we don't have Diet Coke.

Really. Why are we here?

To be alone.

SUSAN: "Alone."

-Throw out the ice. -The Coke's hot.

Yeah, but you don't know what kind of water is in there.

Jesus Christ. Why can't you just relax? Why are you so stressed?

You are the reason I'm stressed. You're the reason why I can't relax.

You could if you tried.

You don't think I tried?

You're never gonna forgive me, are you?

You know what I'm talking about.

Hey. I'm not gonna argue.

-Is there anything closer? -There's a clinic.

But on the south. In the bus it will take us an hour and a half.

-Away from Ouarzazate? -Yes. It's the closest thing we've got.

BARTH: Get down!

-RICHARD: Put that there. -Okay.

Stop! Stop!

We need your help. My wife's been injured.

I need your help. Help. Hospital.

Help, come here. Tell him we need his help!

No, wait! Wait! Wait! Stop him! Stop him!

Ouarzazate isn't this way. They're going to start shooting at us.

-Turn the bus around, Anwar! -It hurts.

BARTH: Turn back. Turn the bus around!

SUSAN: It really hurts.

We got to get somewhere closer. Is there anywhere else we can take her?

We can take her to my town.

-Please don't leave me here alone. -You're going to be all right.

-Can she help? -Yeah, yeah.

Where are you going? Please don't leave me here alone.

-Can she help? -Yes.

Listen, listen. It's gonna be all right. I'm just gonna go make a call.

I'll be back, sweetheart. Just gonna make the call.

-How's your wife? -It's bad. I can't stop the bleeding.

-Get her out of there and let's go. -Where? Where do I take her?

In Egypt in a town like this they slit 30 German tourists' throats.

-They might do the same to us. -No, sir, not here.

What do you know? We've got to get out of here as soon as possible.

It's unbearably hot.

-We have to get back for our children. -Look, you can't leave us here.

-What is the point in our staying? -In case we need the bus!

He can drop us off and come back for you.

-No. -I'll stay with you if you need me.

Please just wait. Let me figure this out.

We're not gonna risk our lives, so hurry.

If he doesn't sew up her wound, she might bleed to death.

Well, the Moroccan government wouldn't let us use their airspace.

They refused to acknowledge that this was an act of terrorism.

What about the ambulance?

Taking your safely into consideration, Mr. Jones, we didn't believe

it would be appropriate to send a Moroccan ambulance.

Stay put. We settled the matter. A helicopter should arrive soon.

-How long? -Soon.

No! How long?

It's a miracle we found those kids, ma'am.

I don't know how you could have left them alone like that out in the desert.

-How are they, sir? -That's none of your business.

You know how many kids die every year trying to cross this border?

I raised these kids since they were born.

I take care of them day and night.

I feed them breakfast and lunch and dinner.

I play with them.

Mike and Debbie are like my own children.

But they are not your children, ma'am.

Plus, you've been working in this country illegally.

What about my nephew, Santiago?

I don't have any information on him.

We located the father in Morocco.

He was very angry, but decided not to press charges.

Thank you.

Nevertheless the government of the United States

has deemed that you are seriously breaking the law,

and is determined to immediately and definitively deport you.

Sir, I've been here for 16 years.

I have my things here. I rent a house.

I made a life here, sir.

You should have thought about that beforehand.

I want to talk to a lawyer.

If you attempt to take this to trial, I can assure you,

you'll only be prolonging the inevitable.

I recommend you accept voluntary deportation.

FEMALE REPORTER: The sources of the attack are not yet known.

But it is clear that Moroccan and US government officials

are working quickly to secure the area for all citizens.

Locals reported Susan Jones, an American mother of two...

Mr. Jones, I'm Ken Clifford, the US ambassador.

CLIFFORD: We will find these people. Whoever they are, we will find them.

Thank you very much. That's all I have to say now.

Mr. Jones?

I'm going to have to operate immediately.

Is she gonna be all right?

It's probable. We're gonna try to save her arm.

She's been bleeding internally and there's been some clotting,

so there's a high risk of gangrene.

But is she gonna be all right?

Excuse me, sir.

Look, Rachel's flying in tonight.

She's gonna find someone to take care of the kids so you can go.

So, look after them, okay? Don't tell them anything.

No, no, no. Don't worry, sir. Don't worry.
