A Perfect Day Page #3

I'm... I'm touching it.

Uh, please don't touch

merchandise, he says.

Alright.

Uh, he asked me

why we need the rope for,

so I explained him.

And he told me that

if somebody throw man in a well

he probably was no Saint

and it's better

to leave him there.

Never touch dead people,

he says.

How much? How much?

Money. How much?

Uh, he says that, uh

they need rope for hangings.

He's... he's kidding, right?

I don't know, uh..

Sense of humor

is bit different in this area.

How are things

with Sarah, mambru?

Fine.

We ran into each other.

Did she tell you?

No.

Incredible, isn't it?

After everything that happened.

Incredible.

In a showroom, furniture.

She was looking at bedrooms.

- She said you were moving.

- Yeah?

She was having doubts.

She was having doubts

about what?

Between the 2 colors,

salmon or beige.

- Which one did she finally pick?

- No idea.

She handles that part,

the color part.

But I am there if she needs

my opinion, of course

to support her.

That's what couples

are all about, right?

Support.

Of course.

I... I was actually looking

at bedrooms too.

Can you believe it?

You?

Yeah, with bernal.

So you and bernal

are back together?

Mm-hmm. Looks like it.

What color did you pick?

Uh... Salmon.

Difficult to know.

Many problems here.

Maybe they're enemies

and they don't want you

to remove body from well.

Or maybe they put it there.

- You think?

- Could be.

You know,

things are complicated.

Whatever you think...

It's possible here.

Or maybe you are foreigner

and that's why

they don't sell you rope.

Many people hate foreigners

because they come with war.

You remind them

that everything is bad here.

You know, the bombs,

the, the deaths

and so they hate you for that.

What's that sign saying?

"Un convoy, stay..

...back."

You see the size of that escort?

Military target.

They're taking meat

to the refugees.

You might as well paint

a bull's eye on your chest.

The further away you get

from these guys, the better.

You get what I'm saying?

What's that?

I told her I was coming.

You told Sarah

we were gonna see each other?

Yeah, because of the evaluation.

You're not mad, are you?

- About which part?

- What evaluation?

Yeah. What evaluation?

We need to check if

the mission still makes sense.

- If the cost is justified.

- And that's up to you?

We don't have

unlimited resources, mambru.

Never mind your report.

Tell them we can't leave.

- But you're leaving next week.

- So what?

Me leaving is one thing,

all of us leaving is another.

This is almost over, mambru.

Peace is coming.

- Don't you watch the news?

- I don't.

I'm too busy pulling bodies

out of Wells.

But peace may come,

the problems don't disappear.

This is gonna be an emergency

zone for a long while.

What are you doing?

$6 each.

You know they need water.

You understand?

It's not... it's not fair.

You know they need water?

Sophie.

Sophie.

- You know it's not fair.

- Sophie!

They're taking advantage

of them.

Of course, they are.

This is war.

Come on,

let's get back to the car.

What bastards.

$6 for water

and that's how we help people.

We can't get the body out.

We have no rope.

You don't have any rope?

It broke.

We have to do

what we have to do.

Get the body out

and clean the water.

Sophie, we're not

allowed to touch it.

Yeah, what's wrong with you?

Weren't you in the room?

Mambru is right.

He's doing what he was told.

Please don't agree with me.

Tough sh*t.

If you're right, you're right.

They give you an order,

you follow it. Period.

Let me do the talking.

Don't say a word. You'll see.

Uh, this is storage?

Uh, supplies?

Storage, yes.

Uh, we are pomoc.

Uh, aid workers.

Uh, we have a problem.

Big problem.

We need a rope.

Do you have any rope?

Rope, like..

There's a... there is a,

ahem, there is a corpse.

Uh, a corpse.

Dead f***er in a... a well.

And, uh, we need to get it out.

So we need rope.

So the people

could drink the water.

You understand?

Water.

No water here.

Uh, war, sorry.

No, uh, no.

We don't need no water.

- Only.. What's rope?

- Konapac.

Kono... konopac, no water.

No water, no konopac.

No nothing. War, sorry.

- Uh..

- Should I?

Yeah.

Hey, hey!

Konopac.

You lend me this one.

2 hours.

No, no, no. Not possible.

- Not possible.

- N... n... not the flag.

- Just the rope.

- It's my... Country.

You take r... rope.

Flag down.

This is war.

Flag down, not possible.

We know, w... we know,

we know this is war.

We only want the rope.

Flag down, we surrender.

Me, kaput.

They thum-thum-thum me.

Understand?

This is war.

Flag down, not possible.

You gotta make a choice,

flag or water?

Mike 1, Mike 1,

this is Mike 2. Copy?

Uh, Mike 2, this is Mike 1.

How did it go over there? Over.

Not good. There was rope.

But there's no rope.

Uh, I didn't copy that.

Uh, can you give that

to me again? Over.

No rope, no rope.

Sh*t.

Okay, we'll wait for you here.

Over and out.

Maybe they throw man in the well

so they can sell water.

Maybe.

You need rope?

- Yeah.

- I know where you find.

Oh, yeah? Where?

In my house.

Not far. I'll take you.

And how long is this rope?

Long.

Show me.

Yeah, there was

a change of plans.

We're heading over to dukovo.

Apparently there's rope there.

- Who says?

- Rope?

Uh, local sources.

Over and out.

Aren't we going back

to the base?

Yeah, but first we're gonna

get our friend out of the well.

- You're not allowed.

- Says who?

The united nations.

They said you can't do it.

I don't take orders from them.

I'm not wearing a helmet.

It was just explained

to you by an official.

Who do we need to get

for you to understand?

- Butros ghali?

- Yeah.

Butros butros-ghali.

I want him to come here

and explain to me

why the hell we can't get

the body out of that well.

I can't talk to you.

I'm never gonna make my meeting.

You know it's a good thing

you're getting to see

what's going on here first hand.

- It is gonna help your report.

- Don't make this personal.

I was sent by headquarters.

It's always personal.

Mambru, you got 2 people

in the back seat.

Are you aware of that?

Nikola, left or right?

Right.

Right.

No rope around here.

Maybe there was a store before.

Maybe they made rope here.

There was a factory.

This could have been

the center of the entire

Balkan rope industry.

Everybody in the village

made rope.

Every year they'd split the

surplus at the rope festival.

People come from all over

the country to celebrate.

Singing, dancing.

At weddings, newlyweds

would give each other rope

and tie themselves together

as a symbol of their union.

- Who is this guy?

- Offerings were made..

He's part of our, uh,

integration program.

There were miracles.

Rope appeared out of nowhere.

Welcome to konopac,

the rope capital of the world.

Population, 5.

I'm b, I'll be your tour guide

for this afternoon

and I'm pleased to be
