The other side of Bab El Wad.
1:55:04
Fifty camels couldn't move
enough supplies in a week...

1:55:06
...to feed Jerusalem for half a day.
1:55:08
Who is this idiot?
1:55:09
Are you sure the wadl's big enough
to build a road?

1:55:12
- To take those heavy trucks to Jerusalem?
- Yes.

1:55:15
Build the road in a week?
1:55:16
The cliffs in that area
are over 250 feet high.

1:55:20
Allah Azlml
If one of my men spoke to me in this way...

1:55:23
...I would draw my knife
and make him a eunuch.

1:55:25
Let's see this wadl of yours.
1:55:27
But perhaps in his case,
it has already been done.

1:55:30
We can at least take a look.
1:55:38
Stop!
1:55:41
You see?
1:55:42
The Jerusalem road is only 1,000 meters
the other side of this little bump.

1:55:53
All right, let's get closer.
1:56:02
Let's push.
1:56:08
Okay, all together.
1:56:11
Don't be daft. You're wasting your time.
1:56:13
Even if you could blast a road for trucks,
you'd never make it up this.

1:56:17
You'd have to build a mile of switchback
and take over that next hill there.

1:56:21
- It would take a year.
- Who the hell are you?

1:56:23
Capt. MacAfee.
1:56:24
He came to us by way of the Scots Guards,
but he's our best engineer.

1:56:27
Hopefully, one of your worst prophets.
1:56:29
Mr. MacAfee, during the 14th century...
1:56:31
...Spanish troops carved
200 steps up a cliff in a single night.

1:56:35
Aye, but we don't have any trucks
that can climb steps.

1:56:37
- Boys, move right back there.
- Lf one of my men...

1:56:40
Don't tempt me. Mr. MacAfee,
will you come this way, please?

1:56:50
There's going to be a road
up this little bump, see?

1:56:53
Now, I'll start the job.
1:56:56
You figure out a way to finish it...
1:56:58
...or one of these rocks will have
your name on it and tomorrow's date.
