He was 19!

LUKE:
Don't kill him!

Don't kill him!

Watch the flanks!

Kee. Thank God.

You'll be safe now. How's the child?

You put their lives at risk.

Just let her go.

You don't know what you're doing.

No? Look around you.

It's the Uprising.

And they haven't even seen the baby.

Let's go.

KEE:
No! Get off...

Not in front of the girl.

Wait till we get around the corner.

Then do them all.

Come on!

(SINGING) Oh, lads

You should have seen us gannin'

Passing the folks along the road

And all of them was starin'

And all the lads and lasses there

They all had smilin' faces

(MACHINE GUNS FIRING)

PATRIC:
F***!

Sorry. Sorry.

LUKE:
Move it! Get her inside!

PATRIC:
Faron!

LUKE:
Get her inside!

Get her in the building now!

Now! Move it! Now!

SOLDIER:
Sarge, left flank!

Slug the f***ers!

Don't shoot! Citizens! We citizens!

Go check the roof!

(BABY CRYING)

LUKE:
I was carrying the baby up the stairs.

I started crying.

I'd forgotten what they looked like.

They're so beautiful.

They're so tiny.

Julian was wrong!

She thought it could be peaceful!

But how can it be peaceful

when they try to take away your dignity?

We need him, Theo!

We need the baby. We need him!

It's a girl, Luke.

A girl?

I had a sister.

Theo! Theo!

You okay?

(GROANING)

How is she?

Annoyed.

My God, the baby.

Move back! F***ing move back!

Stop! Cease fire! Cease firing!

SOLDIER 1:
Cease firing!

SOLDIER 2:
Cease firing!

We've got two coming through,

(MARICHKA SPEAKING

No, Marichka no go. You go.

-You go.

-Marichka, come. Marichka.

-Marichka, get in the boat!

-Go, boat!

(SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

The buoy! Theo, the buoy!

You okay?

Yeah. You?

Yeah.

What a day.

We're too late, aren't we?

No. No, we're fine.

But they said they wouldn't wait.

Trust me. They'll come back.

(PLANE SOARING)

I'm bleeding. Jesus, sh*t, I'm bleeding!

-No, no, no, it's me.

-I'm bleeding everywhere.

-It's me.

-What?

He got me.

Bad?

No. I'm fine.

Keep her close, Kee.

Whatever happens, whatever they say,

you keep her close.

It's going to be okay.

(BABY CRYING)

She's probably got wind. Wind her.

Put her on your shoulder.

Just... Just tap her back.

Gently.

Gently.

(KEE WHISPERING)

There you go.

Oh, Jesus.

Dylan.

I'll call my baby Dylan.

It's a girl's name, too.

Theo?

Theo?

Theo!

Theo, the boat.

The boat!

It's okay.

We are safe now.

We're safe.
