to the west.

About 12 kilometers..

...in nisinje.

Yeah, they were both

mined last week.

We informed unprofor

but it'll take a while

to demine them.

Even if Wells are a priority

it's gonna take

at least a couple days...

attention!

- Oh!

- Oh, f***!

Don't touch him!

Don't touch him!

Don't touch him!

Hey, hey, hey, hey!

Calm down. Calm down.

Calm down. Calm down.

Hey, hey, hey,

calm down, calm down.

- What?

- That's my ball!

That's his ball.

He's a little boy.

Give him his ball.

Give him back his ball.

It's his ball. He's a kid.

Uh-huh?

No, no, no, no, no.

Sophie, get back in the car.

We're friends, friends.

We go, we go, we leave.

Friends.

Nema problema.

Nema problema, okay?

We go, we go.

- Get back. You wanna get killed?

- Hey!

Get in the car.

Get in the car.

- What's your name?

- Nikola.

Nikola, how about I get you

a new ball, brand-new ball?

Where?

Base camp.

Soldiers have ball. Deal?

You pick ball

and I drive you back.

Deal.

That frenchy whatsome

has got a mouth on her.

Let me tell you.

Mambru wouldn't have

taken that sh*t

from anyone couple of years ago.

He would have thrown her

in the well with the fat f***er.

He's good at what he does

but he has not been

the same lately.

He... he's talking

about giving it all up.

You see, there's this girl..

...back home..

...waiting for him.

White picket fence,

homemade apple pie

swings set out back.

You know,

the whole kit and caboodle.

He's not the same. He's just like

he's here, but he's not here.

You know what I mean?

No.

Wh... what I'm saying is

even though he's here,

he is not here.

He is somewhere else.

Women, damir!

They change you.

I got changed by one too.

- I wasn't always like this.

- Like what?

- Like I am now.

- Were you more articulate?

Sh*t, damir.

You're an interpreter.

Interpret me, for f***'s sake.

What the f***.

Mike 2, Mike 2

this is Mike 1.

Come in.

Yeah, copy. What's up?

Uh, besides rope,

I need a ball. Over.

Uh, come back with that.

What... what was that?

Ball.

Bravo alfa Lima Lima.

A soccer ball.

- Can you understand this guy?

- Perfectly.

He said ball, right?

Eldar!

Turn the car around!

There is no problem here.

Well, the front facing out,

ready to leave.

Come on, Nikola, get in.

I already have 3 kids.

You stay with eldar,

I go inside and get ball.

Okay?

Who's leaving?

Coming.

I just come from airport

to pick up new lady.

New lady?

- What's her name?

- I forget.

When I saw her,

I forget everything. Even war.

She hot?

How hot?

3?

Out of 10?

Out of 3.

3 out of 3, huh?

Hmm.

She Russian?

I told you, I forget.

Okay. Turn the car around.

3 what?

Nothing, 3 days.

He hasn't slept in 3 days.

F***ing war.

We've registered very little

military activity

since the cease-fire

came into effect.

There've been..

...minor altercations..

...but I repeat,

the area is quite calm.

The conflict, as you know,

is nearly over.

F***ing idiots.

Peace agreements underway..

What's wrong?

...an obligation

for all parties

to facilitate

the location of mines

or any other threat

to humanitarian

and united nations' personnel

but as you know,

that isn't always easy.

Water.

Our sector is supplied

by 3 Wells.

Davari and nisinje

are still mined

but the third is functional

with enough capacity

to supply

the surrounding villages.

Excuse me, sir.

Negative. The third well

is not functional.

- We were just there.

- What's wrong with it?

Somebody threw a corpse in

it to contaminate the water.

Someone should remove it.

The mines are our priority.

But then remove the mines

from the other two.

Please identify yourself.

Sophie Richard

water and sanitation,

aid across borders.

According to my reports,

that well is clean.

Well, but according to my nose

there is a body rotting inside.

So it must be removed,

so we can purify the water.

Hey.

Madam!

Ma'am!

Get out of there!

Get out of there!

Careful.

You're gonna get

yourself killed.

What's she saying?

They ask her to stop

'cause there could be mines

in the field.

She says, "I have to go home.

There's no other way.

You think I can fly?"

But there is no problems.

I mean, she walks

behind cows, see?

Do you understand? Mines!

Yeah. She follows the cows.

Get out of there.

- It's dangerous!

- Smart.

"International humanitarian

law as established

"by the Geneva convention

prohibits

"article 55

"using environmental

modification techniques

"with hostile aims

"in order to protect the health

of the population

during wartime."

I appreciate the reminder,

Ms. Richard

but that article,

as you correctly stated

refers only to international

armed conflicts.

Well, that's true, sir

but neither of us

has a Bosnian accent.

Our passports do not make this

an international conflict

despite your insistence.

Your request is duly noted

but leave it to the military

to establish priorities

during wartime.

As for the rest

the curfew will remain

in effect throughout the area.

All circulation

is prohibited between..

You're not gonna say anything?

Let it go.

They are in charge.

Sir, he's mined.

The corpse.

My colleague has reminded me

it might be..

It's not unusual. They do it

sometimes, as you know.

So we won t touch it.

Have you handled the body?

No, mining protocol

prohibits from doing so, sir.

That's your jurisdiction.

Sophie!

Fighting the un

is not gonna help.

Yeah, but they won't

listen to me!

Yep.

Nikola! Come here!

This is goyo, my jefe.

- Shake hands.

- Hello.

Ball?

- No ball?

- Sorry, Nikola, no ball.

The Spanish battalion

is 40 kilometers away.

They might have rope there.

Goyo, your escort request.

Were not going anywhere.

We're going back to the base.

What about the fat guy?

Fat guy stays, we leave.

But there will be an epidemic.

Maybe.

But with any luck,

I'll be gone by then.

Okay, beautiful.

Not our problem anymore.

They said not to touch it.

Tell your assistant

to take it easy, mambru.

I'm not his assistant.

We work together.

Maybe you shouldn't

have said he was mined.

Besides we have to take

the new girl to the base.

Go ahead and tell b we're gonna

drop the kid off at the well.

He should meet us there.

Go ahead.

This your girlfriend?

What? Don't joke like that.

Come on, get in the car.

You know you can't

transport civilians

in a conflict area, right?

We're not transporting him.

We're keeping him

out of trouble.

Ah!

Sure.

Some things never change.

It hasn't been that long.

Oh, it hasn't?

- How long?

- Uh..

2 years?

1 and a half.

Well..

You look different

from the last time I saw you.

Sure, I'm dressed.

That's right.

You are dressed.

But, uh..

...your hair was different.

My head is what was different.

Mike 2, Mike 2 for Mike 1,

do you copy? Over.

Mike 2, Mike 2 for Mike 1,

do you copy? Over.

Hi.

Rope. Damir, rope.

What's the problem?

There is no rope.

What do you mean

there's no rope?

There's plenty of rope.
