Tuareg prisoners.
1:16:15
These must be the soldiers
captured from Modibo's village.

1:16:18
He thought they were dead.
1:16:19
This Massarde guy's really starting
to piss me off.

1:16:22
Well, it's time to call in the cavalry.
1:16:26
Let's go.
1:16:29
Well, Dr. Rojas, I do wish
you had stayed in Lagos.

1:16:39
So...
1:16:41
... got your report,
1:16:43
Kind of dense, huh?
1:16:48
Okay, my understanding is...
1:16:50
...there's a problem with the water.
Am I right?

1:16:54
Rudi?
1:16:55
The water in the Niger River
is being poisoned.

1:16:58
Right now, it's in Mali,
but it's headed toward us fast.

1:17:02
If we don't do something, within
one week it's gonna hit the Atlantic.

1:17:06
And when that interacts
with the salt water,

1:17:09
that growth rate is gonna explode.
1:17:12
The oxygen levels
in the affected waters

1:17:14
will decrease by 40 to 60 percent,
killing all plant and animal life.

1:17:18
If it gets to the ocean,
1:17:20
it's halfway to New York
within six months.

1:17:23
Then there's nothing we can do.
1:17:28
Is that all?
1:17:36
Do you have
any independent confirmation?

1:17:40
- Nope.
- Because intervening

1:17:41
in a sovereign country, granted I'm
only in the job a couple of months,

1:17:44
I'm pretty sure that's gonna
be tough to get an okay for.

1:17:46
- I need you to try.
- Oh, I'm gonna look into this. I am.

1:17:49
I'm gonna pass this on to the State
Department, get their take on this.

1:17:52
Okay, I think that's the best way
to proceed.

1:17:55
Thank you, gentlemen.
