Mad Dogs

- Season 3

(2013)

The boys find themselves wearing yellow overalls in a vast and virtually deserted prison camp somewhere in the African desert. They have no idea who their captors are and fear that they are terrorists who have robbed them of their spoils to fund an atrocity. Some clue as to why they are there comes when they meet fellow con,the scary ex-soldier Mercedes,who knows how to throw a man in combat. The they meet Alex, a government representative who explains that,in view of their past criminal involvements,they are on a CIA hit list and are soon to be taken to South Africa ...

Two years have passed. Baxter is operating as a lawyer in Cape Town but with false papers,Quinn runs a bar there and is having an affair with a French diplomat's wife. Woody is coaching football and Rick smuggling drugs on the black market which he supplies to the local hospital. He is still having visions of the grotesque dwarf that he saw in the desert - it is a tokoloshe,which foretells bad luck,aptly in his case as he keeps getting arrested.

The boys go to the British embassy to see if they are clear to leave South Africa but after seeing a lawyer,who promptly disappears,they realize that they are locked in with police cars drawing up outside.
