La Horde Page #2

Synopsis: The Horde is an essay about the relationship between human kind and nature. Jerome Colin has created a brand new way of looking at ourselves just imagining how nature itself would observe us with some kind of scientific point of view. The result of this inversion is really funny but full of resonance also. The satire works because it's questioning our more innocent practice of nature : walking in protected areas. What do we call nature? How much of our effects on environment do we ignore? What are we walkers there for? By the way, the film opens a reflection about the notion of scientific truth, and the limits of our perception of the world.

But I want to get out of here alive.

And our chances

are better with you.

Or don't you agree.

Or we split up now

on this damn roof.

No time to think.

We'll go down together

then we'll part ways.

Separating?

He is deceiving you, Ade.

His girlfriend

knows how to use a gun?

Don't worry about me.

Control your group.

Control yours.

We need guns and drugs.

Do you have a cache?

Guns, yes.

I can't help with the rest.

Don't move.

They're gone.

They took Jimenez's body.

- Help me.

That's all we have.

Forget your homemade remedies.

This is what he needs.

Stop, Ouesso it hurts.

He is right,

This will end the pain.

Are you sure?

See?

He knows what's good for him.

Where're you going?

- I'll be right back. Rest.

Slowly!

He's worse than you.

Why did you join with

these cretins?

I know you don't like it.

Neither do I.

But we have no choice.

See Tony.

This is bullshit, Ouesso.

We can't trust

those bastards.

You got us into this mess.

- What?

Was it you who got us into this.

No that was you

with f***ing Rivoallan.

Calling him every night crying.

You said you were pregnant.

When he was looking for

these a**holes.

Tony told you that?

No matter who, Aurore.

You messed up his head.

This mess is your fault.

When you're finished,

we can try it out.

You know this building.

What's the plan?

Avoid leaving traces of blood.

- That's your plan?

This building is rotting.

The elevator only goes to the fourth

floor. And you can't use the balconies.

The service stairs were never

finished. Understand the situation?

Have a better idea, then?

That's what I thought.

Lets get another ladder.

Wait.

They should be at the entrance.

"They should be at the entrance."

Scary.

Sh*t!

What was that?

Go, Ball.

Jo.

We need to go, Jo.

Come on!

Come on!

- Wait!

Tony!

Don't shoot!

Don't worry about it.

Ball!

My leg!

Ade!

Hands off!

Ade!

What would you do without me?

Tony!

Aurore! Tony!

They need us.

Let it go!

It's too late.

I know these calls.

Go ahead.

What is stopping you?

Two cops killed, and we

are stuck with the lame.

You think you're funny?

Shut up, Ball!

Back off.

This is how it keeps track

of your group?

You're alone now.

If you want to work with us...

you better stop

being so sensitive.

I'm sure she's alive.

If so,

hope that she has courage.

B*tch.

Are you okay?

Show me.

The bleeding has stopped.

The dog bit my shoulder.

Can you walk?

Yes.

Holy sh*t!

Don't move!

Lower your guns,

I'm not one of them.

I told you not to move.

You gave them a good beating.

Its good, no?

Like the battle of Dien Bien Phu!

How many do you smoke?

How many do the Chinese smoke?

I didn't say.

A half dozen, I think.

I'm getting rusty in my old age.

What are you doing here?

Keeping the post.

They saw the mess on the ladder?

I blew them to smithereens.

Handmade explosives.

I ran out of grenades in '64.

You live on this floor?

Yes.

You were bitten, weren't you?

Need to take care of it.

I get around, come with me.

Don't trust this old man.

Take his gun.

We will try to find the others.

They got you good.

Sh*t!

Who's the p*ssy now?

Let me see.

Move your hand!

Quiet, monster.

We have to avoid gangrene.

What did he call me?

- Forget it.

A cop is sometimes helpful.

- What?

Why is he taking care of me?

Do I look like a nurse?

Want to be alone?

Screw it.

Hey Grandpa. Is there anything

stronger than this to drink?

It hurts.

What are you doing?

I'll have to cut the leg off.

What?

Are you kidding?

If it rots, that won't help get

the Chinese out there.

Cut, cut.

Try it.

- Easy.

Stay out it.

- He's right.

Shut up.

- I have to amputate the leg.

Nobody touches my leg.

Easy.

Back off, grandpa.

I have to amputate his leg.

- He's crazy.

What did he do?

Say it to my face.

- You're crazy!

We must cut off his leg.

No way.

- Stop it.

Easy!

- We have to amputate.

The old man is crazy.

- Amputate, amputate!

Nobody touches my leg.

Enough!

- Stop it!

We have to amputate his leg.

Ouesso should not have said that.

What?

Rivoallan was not your fault.

You shouldn't have opened

your mouth.

I know.

When Ouesso knew you

were pregnant, he thought ...

What?

- What that I did it on purpose?

You all think I'm a b*tch.

I never said that.

Not my fault.

Not my fault.

I regret what happened, that's all.

Repentance?

Think you have time to regret?

What happened?

Want to know?

Damn his apologies.

He can swallow his words.

I owe nothing to anyone.

You mean nothing to me.

Ouesso means nothing to me.

I don't care about anything.

What are you doing?

That's all that matters.

Cuff yourself.

You can't do this to me.

- Cuff yourself.

If you leave me here, I will die.

I beg you.

Please Aurore,

don't do this to me.

Cuff yourself now!

You can't leave me here.

If you leave me here, I will die.

I don't want to die here.

- Cuff yourself.

I don't want to die.

I beg you, Aurore.

Don't let me die.

You're already dead, Tony.

Don't worry, it's broken.

- Sh*t.

You better take care of the monster,

he needs help.

He is fine,

and he's not a monster.

As you wish.

But I know what I'm talking about.

When your friend turns Chinese

we have to take him out.

Those things are contagious.

- You tire me, old man.

See how he speaks, his worm.

- Leave him, Ball.

Ok, forget it.

I was young once.

He is insignificant.

And now?

- Hold it, guys?

We are safe here, I locked the door.

I have a pear brandy.

Fifteen years old.

What do you think?

I can't drink alone.

Their religion does not allow it?

- I don't believe in God.

Call me Rene.

Take it.

Religion is just death insurance.

Right?

And I badly need it now.

Am I right?

This sh*t is hardcore.

- What?

"Hardcore," brutal.

"Hardcore"?

I'll pass.

Good to see that there are still

men like you.

To your health.

Say there, soldier...

you did not learn

to make bombs here.

How did you survive?

I have a good hiding place.

I received good training

on the front.

If my wife Clemence

was alive, you would have seen.

120 pounds of sagging,

udder banging against her knees...

...hands like hams.

You would think twice before

putting your hands on her ass.

We laugh, but...

A big girl.

You can say that again.

But it must be tough here.

You have to have balls.

And there always comes a sucker

wanting to rule the henhouse.

I see.

- I'm not complaining.

Clem could not stand it here,

but I never cared.

There seems a lot more...

but after Indochina...

no Chinese will keep me, agreed.

Depends on who.

- Don't ruin it, cop.

What? Are you kidding?

You're a cop?

What are you doing here alone?

I came here for justice.

Came to lessen the injustice.

- Didn't go as planned.

Look around you,

the world is upside down.

The Chinese are not the first to

cause problems here.

We've been eating sh*t

for 30 years.

Just like Mother Teresa

but getting nothing.

Want to know the truth?

You came because you're like us.
