Killing Season

[Gunshots]

Come on, go, go, go.

Move, move, move.

Get down! Get down!

[Speaking foreign language]

Cease fire!

Hold your fire!

[Speaking foreign language]

Go!

[Speaking foreign language]

Hunting.

I am going hunting.

Ow.

(Reporter #1) Another day

and another round of violence

in Syria on Saturday.

Fighting in the northern city

of Atma has raged for days

causing widespread destruction

and casualties that have now

topped 35,000,

with many of those civilians.

The addition of more troops

in what are sure to be

even bloodier battles ahead

has fueled worries

within the rebel ranks

and around the world.

Talks in Washington calling

for the arming of insurgents

in Syria.

(Reporter #2) We should start considering all options,

including arming

the opposition.

(Reporter #1) Experts say arming the fighting groups

among the opposition

is a sure way

to drag the country

into a protracted civil war.

It will also

further marginalize

those in the opposition who

have advocated non-violence

or to advance

political strategy.

[Oven ding]

[phone ringing]

(Recording) Please leave a message after the beep.

[Beep] Hey, Dad, it's Chris.

(Sarah) Did you get him?

(Chris) No, I got the machine.

(Sarah) Why don't you try his cell?

(Chris) 'Cause he doesn't have a cell.

(Sarah) You could email him.

(Chris) [laughs] Or a computer.

So I'll just leave a message--

Hey, buddy.

How's it going?

Hey. It's good.

It's great.

How about you?

You been radio silent for a while.

Just, you know,

keeping busy.

As usual.

So, hey, listen.

I don't know

if you saw the invite,

but tomorrow's

Matthew's baptism.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Starting him early, huh?

(Chris) What's that?

Nothing.

Just, yeah, that's great.

That'll be a great day.

You know,

we were hoping you were going to make it down.

To be honest,

it's tough for me tomorrow.

Come on, Dad.

What do you got going on?

Just, you know, odds and ends.

Look, if it's

the church thing,

you could just come

to the party afterwards.

You don't even

have to wear a tie.

That sweetens the deal.

[Laughs]

He coming?

Yeah, Dad.

He's going to be there.

Mom's been married

to the guy for 20 years,

you've said about as many words to him.

Yeah, well...

Look, like I said, son...

things have been keeping me

a little busy up here.

Right. Well...

Won't bug you about it anymore.

You're not bugging me.

No, you're not bugging me.

Well, hey, maybe we'll drive up sometime,

surprise you.

Yeah, well, better call first.

Right.

Okay. Well...

Leave you to it.

Goodbye, Dad.

Bye, Chris.

Bye.

Ah...

F***!

Sh*t.

Oh.

God damn.

Oh, sh*t.

Ah, sh*t.

[Park braking]

(Emil)

You got engine trouble?

Long way from home, aren't you?

Well, that is the whole idea.

I am on sabbatical

for my health.

Yeah, well,

good luck on that.

May I take a look?

I got it covered, thanks.

It's no trouble.

I just have

to tow it into town.

But that is

30, 40 miles, no?

Please allow me.

I drove hack in London for seven years

and I had no choice but to become

expert on British automobiles.

Really, I don't need any help.

Thank you.

Okay. Okay.

Hey.

Sir.

I just...

I get this shooting pain in my leg.

Comes and goes.

Always puts me in a bad mood.

Try it.

[Engine sputtering]

Ah, you got to be kidding me.

God damn it!

[Honking] Patience.

I'm trying to revive car.

I don't want to have

to do the same for you.

Well, I should've

just towed it in.

Okay, once more,

if you please.

[Engine starting]

Yeah.

Ah.

Well...

You're a miracle worker.

Thank you.

Body of Christ visited

in the filter housing.

I don't like American cars,

very finicky.

You have to be extremely vigilant about maintenance.

You have to listen

to every little thing.

The shooting pain in my leg is just killing me.

I just got to get-- Okay.

My sermon is over.

Drug store will be closed

if I don't head out soon.

Appreciate the help, mister?

Emil Kovac.

Ben.

Benjamin Ford.

Take it easy.

You, too.

Take it easy.

You sure you're all right out here?

Where I come from,

this is a walk in the park. Where is that?

I'm sure you would not

have heard of this place.

I'm--

just leave it at that.

Try me.

Small village, Lukomir.

Oh, yeah, Bosnia.

I was stationed in Bradina.

Yeah. Well, then,

we are brothers.

I don't know about that.

I mean in arms.

Let me shake your hand again.

Yeah, small world.

I have kept you long.

That's okay.

The clock is ticking.

It's too dangerous to be driving anyway.

I think I'm going to head back.

I'm going to ride it out.

You're welcome

to join me if you want.

But I would hate to be bother.

I could lie to you, say it's the Christian in me

who wants you along,

but truth is if anything happens to you,

it's going to come back

and bite me in the ass.

There's a word for it.

I believe it is karma.

Few more minutes.

Winchester, no?

1873, the gun

that won the West.

Yeah, you hunter like me.

Yeah, every now and then.

I don't use that.

I use this.

Evens the odds

a little bit.

I wholeheartedly agree.

You know,

I must confess,

I did not come halfway

around the world

just for mountain air.

I came for trophy.

Oh, whitetail?

Elk. Elk, they gave you a tag,

lucky dog.

What'd you do,

pull some strings with Fish and Wildlife?

No patience. You know,

18 months ago I applied for license

for five bull.

Perhaps you come

with me tomorrow.

No, really.

The storm will be over

and the air will be clear

and maybe, who knows,

you get lucky,

you add another head

to your collection.

Well, what are you using?

I use this.

I'll show you.

Here.

Jesus Christ, buddy.

You fight

in the Indian Wars?

No, this is the same bow

I used as a boy.

You know, it's, gets

very clean strong draw.

Not jerky like yours.

Well, mine won't snap.

Any bow can snap.

That's fiberglass.

I worked with fiberglass

in factory.

That was after the war?

No, before the war. Old soldier like you.

But sometimes

it is difficult

to know when to leave

the battlefield, you know?

You're talking

about the fiberglass.

The tiny beer bubbles

find their way into the malt

during

the manufacturing process.

And then each time

you pull the string back,

the fiberglass

weakens bit by bit.

One day, you are tracking

your quarry through the grass,

and the rocks, and the mud,

and the rain, and the snow,

and finally

you see your prize bull

right in the sights

and snap!

It breaks.

You're a weird duck.

Hmm.

What is this photographer?

Oh, I did those.

Really?

You're a photographer?

Yeah.

What is this one?

Well, that's the old church up in God's Peak.

God's Peak.

Hmm.

Reminds me of home.

Oh, no, please, I'm fine.

Oh, you got to try it.

I have more than I need,

and it doesn't keep real well.

Or not.

It's a free country.

Okay.

If you insist.

This is good.

Good, huh? Told you.

It's delicious.

Oh. It almost

slipped my mind.

I have something

to return the favor.
