On the flight to Kinshasa, Carter meets a man named Steve Davison who is a Financial Liaison for the embassy.  Carter meets Jillian and a friend at the airport in Kinshasa.  There is no news of the whereabouts of Luka or Patric.  10,000 people have been murdered in the two weeks that Carter has been gone from the Congo.  Kivu is littered with dead bodies.  John and Jillian wait for Andre Rey, a member of the Red Cross.  He informs John and Jillian of the struggle to receive information about Luka and the other dead.  The Red Cross struck a deal to be able to travel into the Matenda/Kinsangani area to evacuate non-combatants.  The Mai-Mai give the Red Cross items to identify remains, but nothing more.  He rummages through a box and final brings out a zip-lock bag containing a blood-spattered id badge with Luka’s name and picture on it.  Carter pushes to have Luka’s body retrieved.  The member tells John that it is hard to do, and that he should talk to a member of the negotiating team in Kisangani.  

Jillian tells John that the member Andre sends them to is named Debbie, and that she is John’s type.  At this point, the episode flashes back to the moment that John and Jillian are leaving Luka at the clinic in Matenda, Twenty-two days earlier.  Luka goes back inside the clinic to tend to the mother and her daughter, who had her leg amputated.  Patric stays behind to help Luka.  Carter talks to a member of the U.S. Embassy who tells  John that the Mai-Mai don’t even know what the Geneva Convention or Shoes are.  In a desperate, last-ditch effort, Carter calls upon Steve Davison.  He asserts the fact that not much in the Congo that can’t be bought.  Carter goes to an exchange station and puts $20,000 on his credit card.  The creditor is afraid about his carrying that much cash around Kinshasa. Carter, in turn, makes a wise crack about how he wonders if he expects to put it in his shoe. 

The flash back begins again, this time Nineteen days earlier as Luka and Patric watch government soldiers retreat from Kivu.  Patric says that the Mai-Mai will come again.  Luka stays and watches the trucks with piles of dead soldiers pass by.  The episode returns to the present day as Carter and Jillian arrive in Kisangani, where a U.N. supply Truck is franticly dispensing sacks of food to refugees from the surge in the fighting.  Carter brings the gear he stole from County to the hospital in Kisangani.  The surgeon there is impressed when he pulls a microscope from his bag, along with gloves, medicine, needles, and other gear.  The flash back continues at seventeen days as Luka begins to react to the effects of Malaria.  Jillian calls over the radio, warning him of the increase in fighting.  She wants to warn Patric of the terror he is in for.  The mother of the girl with the amputated leg then wants Luka to have a cross, telling him that “Only a man of God would be here”.  Jillian brings John to meet Debbie.  Carter asks about Luka and any information.  He wants to use the money to help.  Debbie tells him that the Red Cross can’t help if he wants to use the money for bribes.  She asks Carter to come along on a trip to help with the wounded, in exchange to see if there are people in one of the camps that know about Luka. 

The flash back returns at sixteen days earlier as Patric and the mother watch refugees file past the clinic.  Patric says that the Mai-Mai are coming.  Patric rushes to wake Luka telling him that the Mai-Mai are coming.  He is still worried about Luka’s Malaria.  The member’s of the clinic rush to the jungle to hide from the Mai-Mai.  As they run, it is apparent that the Malaria is beginning to take it’s toll on Luka as he cannot run as fast as the others and finally collapses to his knees.  Machine-gun fire can be heard in the near jungle.  Jillian tries to get Debbie to like Carter, even though Debbie is stubborn.  Luka is freezing and shivering from a pounding rain and the progression of the Malaria.  Patric tries to give an IV to Luka.  Luka refuses and tells Patric to save it for a patient.  They then huddle up under a rag to try to shelter them from the rain.  Carter, Debbie, and Jillian arrive at the Clinic in Matenda to find that it has been burnt to the ground.  Carter becomes enraged and tells the soldiers that they will have no place to go when they get shot if they keep burning down hospitals.  The tent where Luka and Patric were is in disarray and only Patric’s sandal catches Carter’s eye.  A soldier says that there were many people killed at the clinic and that the bodies where taken to Casiz.

Luka wakes to find that most of the clinic patients have left, fearing to be seen with Luka and Patric, only the Mother and her daughter remain.  Carter recognizes a patient he treated at the clinic while he is triaging in Matenda.  He says the Mai-Mai came.  They are worried about Luka and return to the Clinic with him.  They are confronted by the Mai-Mai and Luka is knocked out by a soldier.  Carter and Debbie talk about why they are in the Congo and she finally agrees to take him to Casiz in the morning. 

Luka, Patric, and other captives talk and watch the Mai-Mai, Fourteen Days earlier.  The mother is raped.  Another captive asks them to tell the Mai-Mai that he is a geologist and is only looking for rocks, just as a truck arrives with soldiers.  The head soldier comes out of the tent along with the mother, who has fainted.  He takes a prisoner to the tent.  There is silence and then a gunshot.  Carter, Jillian, and Debbie arrive in Casiz and are told that the bodies from Matenda are held in a schoolhouse.  The Mai-Mai are striping the prisoners of personal items as Luka tells Patric about how he used to be Catholic, but that it is hard to feel the lord on a day like today, as another prisoner is taken and executed.  Patric tries to tell the head soldier that he is only a doctor.  The head soldier shots him in the head. 

Carter opens the schoolhouse to a rank stench.  He looks through the bodies and finds Patric before the guard tells him to look in the corner.  A white hand is protruding from a body under another body.  Carter rolls the top body off to reveal the geologist.  He franticly asks the guard if he has seen Luka, showing him Luka’s ID badge.  The guard says Luka is a priest.  The geologist is taken and shot twice.  Luka is the only prisoner left.  He is suffering from heat stroke and Malaria, but rises to his knees and begins to pray in Croatian.  The soldiers yell that Luka is a priest and bow before him as he prays.  The mother screams that “You can’t kill a man of God”. 

Carter arrives at a shelter as Luka’s prayer can still be heard in the background.  The guard shows them to a house where the Mother, daughter and Luka lie.  They take him back to an airstrip on a pickup truck.  The mother thanks John for saving them.  Carter puts Luka on a charter plane and gives him a letter to send to Abby because he is staying in the Congo.  He tells Luka to tell Abby, that “I was lost and now I’m found”.  Luka thanks him and then the plane takes off.  The surgeon tells them to go back to work and Debbie says that everybody with taste likes the Dixie Chicks, as the plane rises into the air.  The Land Rover drives off into the sunset as the episode ends.
