drive over this one?

No, this is a different

breed of cow.

Isn't there another way?

Also, it is a possibility

it could have just died?

Everybody, listen up!

We're gonna move the cars

back 10 meters

and nobody strays from the cars

without my permission.

Nikola, the ball stays

in the car.

We can't stop like this

in the middle of the night.

We have to keep going.

I'm already cold!

Can we go back

or something and make..

Go, get it.

If you don't blow up,

we keep driving.

Well?

Come on, get in the car.

We are in quadrant 3.

A country road

about 14 kilometers

east of dukovo.

We are 6 people.

4 expats and 2 locals,

the interpreter and a boy.

Do you have enough supplies?

Uh, Roger that, hotel.

We have enough water,

uh, some sardines

various other ngo

tin can delicacies.

We could really use

a pizza, however.

Do you happen to know of a

place that delivers? Over.

Can you repeat that?

I said we have

sufficient supplies. Over.

Okay, I'll..

How are you doing?

I can't stop

thinking about them.

The 3 of them.

I imagine them together

in that house.

Is that normal?

Forget them.

They're gone.

What are we going to do?

Nothing.

We keep going.

Don't think about it.

You'll end up going home.

Forget what's happened

or what's gonna happen.

Focus on what's happening now.

Have some.

The rest doesn't exist here.

Maybe back home..

...but not here.

Mambru!

Your girlfriend called the base!

Apparently it's urgent!

Mambru, did you hear me?

- Your girl...

- I heard. I heard.

You have to work on it.

Trust me.

Where do you think you are?

At a barbecue?

Hotel, this is mambru.

Did she say

why it was urgent? Over.

Negative. Just to call her.

Over and out.

What's going on, Sarah?

Yes, she is.

What a coincidence, huh?

Yes, she told me

you guys ran into each other.

So what's going on?

Hmm?

Whichever.

I mean, does it matter?

Either one.

The second one.

Uh, salmon.

No, it's not that I don't care.

I totally do.

I trust you, which is different.

Where is damir's coffee?

Thank you.

What about his parents?

Won't they be worried?

They won't be worried.

Well, he's just a kid and

you're keeping him all night.

He lives in bjelani with his grandfather.

He says it's no problem...

what he said doesn't matter.

He's a minor.

What would you say

if he were your son?

Some people take him

and bring him back the next day.

Well?

What would any

normal person think?

That there was a problem

at the checkpoint?

I said normal, b,

you don't count.

B, did you know that

Katya came all the way here

to close the mission

and send us home?

- What home?

- Exactly. What home?

That's the problem.

A home, b.

Normal with walls.

That isn't bombed out.

Have you got one of those?

Wife, children, friends.

A dog. Someone

waiting for you somewhere?

Yeah, I got plenty of people

waiting for me.

Plenty. How many?

Hookers don't count.

- Hookers don't count?

- No, they don't.

I mean, emotional bonds.

Have you got any?

Emotional bonds.

I'll have to think about it.

You guys spend

so much time around here

you forget what real

life is like.

Look, I don't wanna

kick you out of here.

I just wanna do my job.

For that,

I have to get to the base.

Is that too much to ask?

- Where are you going?

- I need to pee.

What did I say?

Nobody strays.

Damir, what are you looking at?

Show some respect

for your colleagues!

Internal affairs is moving.

You noticed, right?

- What?

- Her panties.

- They were black.

- So?

So nobody wears

black panties to a war

unless they're expecting

something.

Where did you hear that?

You gotta bang her.

It's no big deal.

She'll soften up a bit,

she writes a favorable report

and everybody be happy.

Sophie agrees.

Oh, you two talked about it?

We don't even need to.

We understand each other

without talking.

It's non-verbal communication.

This morning your

communication was pretty verbal.

We're pass that.

And I have been tilling

the soil for you.

- What soil?

- With Katya.

I told her that, you know

from time to time,

you... Talk about her..

...all affectionate.

- That's not true.

- I know it's not true.

It's a trick.

We want her happy.

Can't you just slip her one?

I... it's not like

I'm asking you to f*** damir.

B..

...i have a girlfriend.

- Yeah.

- She's hot.

You had a thing with her before.

It's a relapse.

It's like smoking again.

It's totally understandable.

Uh, she writes

a terrible report about us..

...we gotta go home.

What then?

Who helps the people then? Huh?

You even think about that? No.

You're being selfish.

You gotta f*** her..

...for the Bosnian people!

Make a sacrifice..

...for the humanitarian cause.

She won't say no.

Hey. Hey.

- I'm serious.

- Mmm.

Did he fall asleep?

He says when he grows up,

he wants to be an aid worker.

Tell him how much we make

he'll change his mind real fast.

Pay no attention.

He'll tell the soldiers

he wants to be a soldier.

These journalists,

he wants to be a journalist.

Have you guys seen my notebook

or did you throw

that away too, mambru?

He would tell Katya

he wants to..

Hey, Katya, what is it

that you do now exactly, Katya?

Conflict evaluation

and analysis.

Forget that. He don't wanna

tell anyone he wants to do that.

I don't even know what that is.

Is he hitting on you?

Watch out. He always hits

on the new ones.

I know that.

We all do.

You all know what?

That you always do that.

They warn us.

Was it in your mission briefing?

Under potential hazards.

Along with mines

and drunken soldiers?

Right above it.

You should read them.

I will now.

That's me a few years ago.

Does she have a boyfriend?

I don't know.

No, of course not.

How convenient.

Ask her.

Maybe she's got a photo

of him in her wallet.

Have you got one of Sarah's?

- What do you care?

- You didn't before.

How do you know?

You didn't.

- Did you look in my wallet?

- That's not the point right now.

The point is whether or not

you had one. And you didn't.

Did you look in my wallet?

So what if I did?

I was looking

for something else.

- Like what?

- Your passport.

- I don't remember.

- Unbelievable.

You looked in my wallet!

You hid that you had

a girlfriend from me.

I never hid anything from you.

It just never came up.

I never said

I didn't have a girlfriend.

I talked to you

about my boyfriend.

- Non-stop.

- I left him for you.

Nobody asked you to.

Did I ask you to leave him?

Did I?

What's wrong with men?

You know, it's normal.

You talk about your girlfriend.

You carry her photo

in your wallet.

What are you so ashamed of?

Is it that hard

to just admit it?

Okay! I have a girlfriend!

Yeah, I have a girlfriend.

Here.

Here is a picture

of my girlfriend.

Yeah, I have a girlfriend.

Here.

Go ahead and tell the world

I have a girlfriend.

Who wants to see

a picture of my girlfriend?

- Is she naked?

- No, she's not naked.

Normal people don't carry naked
