Episode Notes -  |
Goran Visnjic, Maura Tierney, Parminder Nagra, Linda Cardellini, Shane West, Laura Innes and Scott Grimes do not appear in this episode.
The episode title is drawn from the words of Deputy Secretary of State Robert B. Zoellick, who described his experiences in Darfur in a November, 2005 New York Times article. Zoellick was quoted as saying:
"I didn't start out starry-eyed about this." But, he added, Sudan is a harsh place, where citizens live by "a culture of retribution." Officials in Washington, including 109 members of Congress who wrote to the State Department last month accusing Mr. Bush of appeasing Sudan, want to find a simple villain in the Sudanese government, he said. "But there are no angels here."

Quotes:
Pratt: What did she say?
Dakarai: She said we were angels. I told her there are no angels here.
Pratt: Speak for yourself.
Pratt: I'm glad I came here.
Carter: I'm glad you came, too...cuz I'm sure as hell not gonna take the blame for that van.
Pratt: Uh, gee, thanks.
Carter: Okay, I'll take it out of your paycheck.
Pratt: What do you mean, we actually get paid for this?
Pratt: Okay, either those are the good guys, and we're saved. Or the bad guys, and we're dead. Either way, I'm done walking.
Pratt: I've had hangovers worse than this.
Dakarai: Perhaps you should drink less mouthwash.
Allusions:
In the teaser, Pratt asks Dakarai if he was "expecting Marcus Garvey."
A controversial figure in his lifetime, Marcus Garvey was the founder of the United Negro Improvement Association (1917), dedicated to the political and economic improvement of black Americans, and later to black repatration to Africa, principally to Liberia.
Highly critical of the European colonial domination of Africa at the time, the UNIA held its first convention in 1920. A Declaration of Rights of the Negro Peoples of the World was signed and Garvey was elected the first Provisional President of Africa as part of a movement to declare a unified black-African government. They chose the colors of red, black and green for their flag, the same colors seen on the modern Sudanese flag. |
