The two Bedouins arrived on horseback, armed with AK-47s. They did not speak English, so Ben tried to communicate using Arabic and Turkish. The one wearing the gray keffiyeh patted Ben down and felt something hard in Ben's right pocket. The object was a telescopic baton, which Ben used to beat the one, commandeer his rifle, and shoot the other (the one with the red keffiyeh). The beaten one (the one with the gray keffiyeh) said "Surrender", and Ben retorted, "So you do speak English." Ben then knocked him unconscious with the butt of the rifle and rode off on his horse.
