:31:00
You've heard the others.
You know what they're thinking?

:31:03
It's five days,
we've had two sandstorms...

:31:06
- ...we're not sure they're even looking.
- They're looking.

:31:10
Nevertheless, if we're
100 miles off-course....

:31:12
Which way were you thinking
of marching, captain?

:31:15
What is our nearest water point?
You can show me on your charts.

:31:19
Well, yes, I can do that. How many
were you thinking of taking with you?

:31:23
Well, apart from Sergeant Watson,
I don't know yet.

:31:28
Well, perhaps now's
the time to find out.

:31:31
Yes, perhaps it is.
:31:34
- He can't walk out of here.
- No, of course he can't, but....

:31:39
- He's entitled to try.
- He's not entitled to kill himself.

:31:42
Oh, don't worry, Frank. I don't think
he's aware of the problems involved.

:31:46
I'll get the maps.
:31:48
Gentlemen, I made a decisiĆ³n
and I'd like you all to hear about it.

:31:53
Now, I intend marching out of here.
:31:56
The plan is to travel
at night when it's cool...

:32:00
...and then rest as best
we can during the day.

:32:03
We leave at sundown this evening.
Sergeant Watson, would you come here?

:32:08
I'll take Sergeant Watson and anybody
else who wants to come with me.

:32:12
Volunteers, give me your names...
:32:14
...and we'll start making
the preparations.

:32:17
Captain Harris?
:32:20
You wanted to know our position.
:32:22
If you'd like to come over here,
I'll show you.

:32:27
Now, gentlemen, we're in
the middle of this circle...

:32:31
...which runs through
the three water points.

:32:34
That's Marada in the north, Tazerbo
in the east and Namous in the south.

:32:39
Marada is 106.
:32:41
Say, London to Birmingham.
:32:45
Marada's not a city,
it's a flea-bitten waterhole...

:32:48
....with some borax quarries,
an oil well and a few lousy palm trees.

:32:53
Well, that's our objective then, Marada.
:32:56
Say, captain...
