Harragas Page #3

---

You too, move it!

Don't stare at me! Hurry up!

I haven't done anything.

Is that so? Then get your friend

and disappear.

Let's go.

You there, old guy

they don't need you in Europe.

Take the moron and go.

Who doesn't want to go?

You're all going?

That makes ten of us.

Go get your bags.

We have to wait.

Wait for what?

A phonecall.

Someone will call before dark

so we avoid the coastguards.

Okay, so we all keep quiet

now move back!

Yes?

You're sure? Okay, thanks.

All clear, we can go now.

Let's go, let's go.

Deep in my heart, I was hoping

the engine wouldn't start

at the same time, I was hoping

it would...

Sometimes things get mixed up in my head

for the rest, it's all in God's hands.

Let's go, and God help us.

Watch out! Rocks on the left!

Nasser, turn a bit to the West.

Turn off the lights

we're past the rocks now.

Hey brother,

give me that flashlight!

Switch that off! It's dangerous,

we can be spotted from far!

You, look at the GPS and shut up

understood?

See? That's better.

Switch it off, or else I turn back!

Oh yes? Give it a try...

Okay, I'll try the speed now.

Hold on tight.

Don't be afraid.

Turn Nasser! Turn right! Right!

To the right, that's it!

Well?

I didn't give full gas,

but it's nice and strong.

Nobody seasick?

How long will it take?

At least twelve hours if all is fine.

We can't take any risks.

To the right! Nasser, the right!

Coastguards! Stop the engine!

They are coming this way.

We're screwed.

If they come close, I'll smoke them up.

We'll be all right now.

They've increased the patrols.

Let's get out of here quick.

Hey guys!

I can't hold it anymore,

I have to pee now!

Not now!

Truth is...

during the crossing you just get bored.

so you let your mind wander.

Me I was thinking of my arrival

at my cousin's in Sete.

He promised me a job in a restaurant.

All night I thought about it.

How it all would be...

I dreamed with my eyes wide open.

Sh*t, it's scary this water all around.

It's even worse if you think what's under.

You, you burned before?

Or did your good-look friend?

Both of us.

So you got caught.

Where?

We reached the french border.

Where then?

Perpignan.

Me...

they'll have to run fast

to catch me.

What's with the gun?

You're a cop, huh?

Why do you burn?

I screwed up really bad.

A case I didn't handle properly.

I got into trouble.

My colleagues didn't like it.

- Want to take over for a bit?

- Okay.

Sorry, Imne.

- What's up?

- I'm taking over from Rachid.

Let's go.

"I'm taking over from Rachid"

"Want to take over from me, Rachid?"

You guys speak good french.

Not like the other losers!

You are lucky guys with education.

Funny now you're all together.

The losers...

and daddy's golden boys.

Tell me, your daddy, he couldn't...

get a visa for you?

Maybe you should have sent your girlie

to the consulate?

The beautiful girlie.

Give us a break now!

No network.

Thanks.

The smell of home.

Date candies made by cute Algerian girl.

This cute Algerian girl says F*** You!

Oh wait I remember.

I'm a man only because I have the gun, he?

Even with your gun, you're just a scumbag.

Don't talk to him!

Why? I'm not afraid of him.

Creep!

Okay let's cool down a bit!

We're not far from Spain now.

Nasser, check the GPS.

Sh*t! Sh*t!

What now?

We're off the course!

What do you mean "off the course"?

Holy sh*t, you're right!

We've been heading East.

The current pushed us off direction?

Of course, it's the current!

East? So we head to France?

It's okay, we'll change course now.

How much time did we lose?

No idea.

It's you who told us to accelerate.

Better out of course than caught back.

You know what they do with deserters.

I know what they do with harragas.

I don't care about cops and deserters!

You go on like this,

and you end up with the fish.

Hey, calm down now.

We have enough fuel.

You morons!

In Alger, I would've locked you up,

to teach you about life.

And you b*tch,

stop staring at me!

Don't you talk to her like this!

Come on, try it!

Cut it out now!

Come on!

Come!

Stop it!

Loser!

Calm down, it's okay now.

Made in Taiwan... Piece of crap!

That bastard ripped me off.

I knew it.

Wait, we still have the compass.

If we straighten up by 10 degrees

we'll be fine.

No, wait, let's make it 15 degrees

You're going to make up your mind?

Hey you, can't you just shut up?

He what's up, Osama?

I said shut up! We're all in this now!

You're gonna get yourself a bullet

Islamists like you, my kind of job.

Listen to your music and get lost.

You f*ggot!

Start the engine, let's go!

I don't have much time!

You all stay where you are!

What are you waiting for? Start it up!

Let's go!

Hakim had dared.

Even though I didn't like him,

I was pleased.

Now that creep knew he could not get away

with acting like a dictator all the time.

We just had to wait for an opportunity

to get rid of him.

Are you cold?

Different from the Sahara, huh?

And you want to go to Europe?

Better get used to it,

Over there it's even worse.

Missing your camels already?

And you idiots!

You're supposed to avoid the currents.

How many hours have we lost?

No idea.

We should have arrived by now.

You're worthless.

You know nothing about sea navigation.

Okay. We turned 10 degrees, we'll see.

Anyway, it's this direction

Shall I take over?

Yeah go for it.

Truth is, my friend

we wouldn't admit it, but me and Nasser

we were completely lost.

The compass was Chinese as well

it seemed as if the pointer

was going all directions.

I hoped the boat wasn't Chinese, too.

When you are lost at sea

The worst fear is to wind back to Algeria

All harragas will tell you that

It happened to us the first time

We saw some lights

and thought it was Almeria

But it was Oran.

We'd done a trip for nothing.

We were too short of fuel to try again.

Spain!

We made it!

We need to find a cove.

Shut up!

Speed up! We must get there before dawn.

Speeding in blind is risky.

You really piss me off!

When will you get it?

I'm giving the orders here!

I'm fed up with this boat

and your stupid faces!

Do it, speed up!

Easy, easy!

This is suicide!

Suicide my ass!

Aim for the lights! Full speed!

He thinks it's like home

he can play the tough guy.

We all despise each other

how can anyone else like us?

He's a fascist!

C'mon, c'mon.

Hold on, let me try.

The engine is dead!

See? "Speed up, Speed up"

See the result now?

Shut up!

Get lost, we're done with you!

Don't you dare touch me, son of a b*tch!

I'm gonna kill you!

Come on!

Come!

Get your hands off me!

Defend yourself if you're a man!

Show the girlie how brave you are.

Don't let him provoke you!

Come one then, hit me!

You're scared, you coward!

C'mon, hit me then!

Of course you're a coward,

that's why you flee your country

Fight! Stand up for yourself, a**hole!

You, take your hand off me!

What have we done to you?

Why do you hate us so bad?

Why? Just because you exist, get it?
