---

with y'all on this lovely day.

No, no.

Stay with Sophie,

stay with Sophie.

That's the kid's house.

He says there's a big chunk

of rope in there.

Sh*t!

Where d'you get her?

Models without borders?

- Hi, I'm Katya.

- That's Katya.

Ka... Katya?

The Katya? Katya, Katya...

- yeah.

- What's she doing here?

- Is she here to see you?

- Can't get enough...

wait, wait.

It's tied up.

Nikola, stop.

Rope.

That's the rope?

Our rope?

Nikola no lie.

Nikola no lie, but Nikola no say

the rope was tied

to a dog either.

I say I take you to rope

and rope is there.

Kid is right.

The rope is there.

And it's perfect.

It's not perfect.

Perfect would be

if there was no dog on one end.

Rope is there. Dog is

your problem, not Nikola's.

Nikola little boy.

Nikola little boy.

You come here to help, no?

Now you help.

You heard him, mambru.

It's your turn.

- You're the safety expert here.

- Exactly.

- We need the rope.

- Thank you, Sophie.

I know we need the rope,

but we need our hands too.

You want the kid to get it?

Great idea, Katya.

Great idea.

Don't we have anything

we can give him?

Valium? Percocet?

I'll check.

Nikola!

Where are you going?

Inside.

You can't go inside.

It's not safe, come on!

I need my ball.

You see the roof?

It's falling.

It's too dangerous.

How about we get the rope

and then I go inside

and get ball?

Okay.

Let's go help Sophie.

- He brought you to his house.

- He said there was rope here.

- And there is.

- He said?

I don't understand,

who's in charge here? The kid?

Well, sometimes we get

information from local people.

Local people?

You mean local kids?

Good doggie. Oh, yeah.

...good doggie.

- Good doggie.

- That should be enough.

- Careful, damir.

- Don't worry.

Tajsone.

Tajsone.

Tajsone crazy dog.

One day, he bite my father.

But my father

more crazy than tajsone.

He bite tajsone back

and since then

tajsone respect him.

So your dad... Bit the dog?

Everybody to hospital

that night.

Dog too.

He says

"what you do to me

I do to you."

And tajsone never

bite him again.

Sure.

Where are they now?

Your, your mum and your dad?

They afraid something bad

happen to us here.

So they leave me

with my grandfather

and they go in donovich.

Hmm.

But he says they will

come back when war is over.

Oh, sure.

I'm sure.

He's even more awake now

than he was before.

This won't be easy.

He survived the war.

Nikola.

If your ball is in house,

where is?

- In garage.

- Garage?

Vamonos, Sophie.

Okay, let me go first.

Stay right behind me.

Oh, boy.

Where is the roof?

Out there somewhere.

They blew it off

from right there, you see?

They leave an open tank

of butane..

...they light a fuse..

...close the windows,

shut the door.

Half an hour later

pfft!

Roof is gone.

Who?

Neighbors, probably.

But before the war

if you were a Muslim

and your husband a serb..

...or the other way around

it was no big deal.

Then the war starts..

...the lines are drawn.

And now it's too dangerous

to stay here.

So..

...you leave the kids

with their grandparents..

...and you go

to the other side..

...where it's safer.

But while you're away..

...the neighbors blow up

your house

so you won't come back

after the war.

Hey, it could be worse.

What could be worse?

Putting a mine in the sofa

in case you do come back.

Let's move.

No.

Mambru?

I got it.

He's gonna be a happy kid.

Wait! Wait! No!

- Sorry.

- Sophie, don't.

I'm so sorry.

Wait, Sophie.

Don't turn around.

- What?

- Look at me.

Look at me.

Don't turn around.

- It's okay.

- What...

look at me. Come here.

Come here. Come here.

Come here..

Don't! Don't! Don't!

Nikola.

Here's the ball.

Mambru needs you inside.

Long enough.

Let's do it.

There are soldiers.

Uh, copy that. Over.

Welcome to the Balkans!

Uh, hotel, hotel.

This is Mike 1, come in. Over.

Mike 1, this is hotel, come in.

Hey.

Tell them not to wash the car.

We don't have any money.

They don't wanna wash the car.

I know they don't

wanna wash the car.

It's a joke. Tell them.

Tell them.

Uh, we've been stopped

at a local military checkpoint

on the road to bjelane about

30 kilometers east, sector 6.

- What's going on?

- We are 6 people.

4 expats.

Yeah, yeah.

What the hell was that?

Ask them what the problem is.

Uh, he says the road

is closed. We have to go back.

Why?

Uh, he says, uh,

because we can't go through.

That explains everything.

The road is closed.

Uh, Johnny cash?

Yeah, I think

it's something else.

I'm walking over.

Can they stop us?

Looks like it.

According to the peace

agreements, these guys

should have been

demobilized by now.

Oh, you wanna go and tell them?

Fine.

Hey..

Okay.

Sophie, get behind the wheel.

If I put my hands like this

turn the car around

and get the hell out of here.

What's the problem?

Why can't we go through?

Tell him we need to go through.

We have to reach the base.

You can't.

Sorry, madam.

This is a war.

No, this is not.

War is over.

There are peace talks underway.

Cessation of hostilities.

Do you understand?

You haven't been informed.

Who's your commanding officer?

Are those prisoners

right behind me?

Yeah.

Do we know what

they're doing with them?

I wouldn't want to be

in their shoes.

Excuse me, uh..

Can you tell them, uh, if

they need a hand with anything

we are willing to help?

What did he say?

Nothing.

He says, uh, we have to go.

The road is closed.

Okay. Okay.

Ask them what time

do they open the road.

I can't.

- Why?

- I can't.

- Why?

- He say that he knows my family in dabrica.

Do you have family in dabrica?

My brother.

Okay. I'm sorry.

- Let's go.

- Okay.

Okay. We go!

We stumbled

on to a little situation

on the road to bjelane.

20 prisoners, blue minibus.

Looks like

they're up to no good.

Inform the blue helmets,

tell them to go check it out

and make sure

everything is kosher.

Location 30 kilometers

east of dukovo. Over.

You know where we are?

I think so.

Mike 2, this is Mike 1. Over.

- Yeah, go ahead.

- Yeah. The road isn't here.

We should have seen it

4 kilometers back. Over.

That's not good.

Let's keep that hill

in the sight. Uh, over.

Cow?

Cow.

Oh, man!

Uff!

That's fresh.

F*** me.

What do you think?

Go to the left?

Or right?

Or over it?

This morning we went over one.

- It worked.

- What worked?

They always follow a pattern.

Maybe the pattern

is to change pattern.

And now it's underneath.

That's what I would do

if I were them.

If you were them,

maybe you're thinking

that we know

what you're thinking

and then you'd go on the side.

It was dragged here.

Excuse me?

The cow.

It was dragged from here.

You mean

it's from somewhere else?

Yeah, it was brought here.

- The cow?

- Yeah, the cow, the cow.

Okay, b, go ahead

and inform on our position.

We're gonna have to spend

the night here.

- With the cow?

- With the cow.

You're kidding me, right?

You're not going to
