The rangers and journalists enter an area occupied by a militia that has set up a mining base there. One of the journalists is kidnapped and almost all the rangers are killed. A race against time is launched during which Nyota must fight the armed men in hostile terrain to bring back these foreigners safely; but at what cost?
