full of butterflies.

Ok.

So what do you propose?

We'll take the disk to the TV

and tell the truth.

- Tell me.

- It's gonna be a bomb.

The girl, she's got real shots of the

beginning of the operation.

She's gonna go down in the

history of journalism.

Why does it make you so happy?

I'm talking as a professional.

If the Russians air it

no one will believe our story anymore.

- What do they look like?

A tall, American guy,

and a Russian girl,

and then, there's a local boy.

Look, they've got the jeep. It's got

an SBC logo on it.

- Get this loser to the front lines.

- My uncle's a major.

I don't give a f*** about your uncle.

- What's going on?

- Our cover has been blown.

Zhen, wait up. Stop.

Listen, let's throw that disk away.

And then we'll hide until it's all over.

- No.

- How many more people have to die?

Like that kid.

- He was saving us. He wanted us to

tell the truth.

- Is this what you'll tell his mom?

Who's next in line?

Me? Or you?

They're hunting us.

- Do as you wish, boyscout.

I'll walk alone.

I owe Gabo too much.

Hello? Jessica, baby,

I miss you too.

You heard what?

But it's not true.

No, Georgia started it.

What? Listen, no, I'm fine

they're taking me to an embassy,

and then - to an airport.

Yes, of course my car's bulletproof.

No, baby, I'm perfectly fine.

I'll talk to you later.

I love you. Bye!

She says our TV stations claim

it was you who attacked Georgia.

What did you expect?

We have freedom of press and

they can say whatever they want.

They were cheated.

- By whom?

I don't know.

I guess by Georgia.

Do you believe it?

Where are we going?

I'm going to Tskhinvali.

To peacekeepers' headquarters.

And what if there're no more

headquarters there?

You should've told us earlier, captain.

They're likely in Tskhinvali by now.

I don't see them yet.

You have an hour. Capture them

alive and search them well.

They're shooting - it's a good sign,

it means they haven't captured the

city yet.

- Do you know the way?

- Roughly.

- Where are we now?

Probably in the southern outskirts.

We have to ask the locals where's

the peacekeepers' base.

- Look for an ATM, we'll need money.

Take off your helmet.

- What?!

Take off your helmet!

- Why?

..and the vest as well.

Because it's a NATO uniform.

Taxi!

Let's go.

Freeze!

Lay down!

Wait for me.

Over there!

There's a shelter.

My baby! My little boy!

Help me!

Don't scream!

Help me!

- He's wounded.

Help me!

- Mike, what are you waiting for? Help me!

C'mon, pick him up!

Is there a doctor here?

- No, no doctors here.

My little boy's dying! Please help!

You studied for a doctor,

your father's a doctor.

I have a hemophobia.

- You what?

I fall unconscious when I see blood.

Look at his wound.

- Zhenya, don't make me do it!

I can't.

- I told you to look at him!

Mike! Michael, wake up!

Michael!

We have to get a fragment out.

We need medicine, tools,

we need bandages, injections,

antibiotics.

Do you hear me?

We need tools and drugs.

Michael!

- We've got fifteen minutes.

Then it'll be too late.

- Where do I take it?

Is there a pharmacy nearby?

- It was two blocks away, but it

got bombarded.

- There's an ambulance parked outside.

We need antibiotics.

Where's your f***ing pharmacy?

It's around the corner,

but it's totally ruined.

Give the boy some water.

Someone! Help!

Please, hurry up!

Why can't you hurry up?!

- Keep quiet!

My little boy...

Make me an injection.

- Can't you do it by yourself?

No, I can't. The injection will help keep

me conscious. In the arm...

It was the most painful shot in my life.

If I lose consciousness, don't

slap me, use ammonia instead.

I need a knife.

- Here, take mine.

Fire.

- Take the candle.

Hurry up, will you!

Move your hands away

and hold his head.

Thanks, but don't shove

it in my mouth. - Sorry.

Hold his head.

Hand me the pincers.

Hold his wound.

Raise his head.

Hold the bandage.

Tie it up!

The sleeve.

He'll live.

- Thank you very much!

I'll be praying for you

for the rest of my life.

Vaho, you've let me down.

We'll get help for as

long as we play the victim.

If they get away, be a man

and blow your brains out.

Wait, I'll be there shortly.

- Can we open the road from the city?

A humanitarian cordon?

- What for?

They'll think in the west that

we let the civilians leave.

- That should not concern you.

- But they'll also try to use it to escape

and reach the Russians together

with other refugees. There's only one

way out of the city. Think about it.

- I'll get in touch with the general.

It's an all-out genocide of the Ossetian

people. We don't know anything about

our relatives. The communication

lines are cut off.

It's outside of any norms

of a civilized society.

We saw it ourselves: an old lady

was fleeing with two little children,

and the tank ran them over.

We've reached an agreement

that from 3 pm to 6 pm

we'll declare one-side truce

on the part of the Georgian troops.

What did he say?

He's saying the civilians can leave.

- Do you believe him?

What if it's true? We have to risk it.

- How will you know?

He's still bleeding. There's nothing more

I can do here. We need to get him to

the hospital.

- Someone has to go and then let

everyone else know.

- How will you go? On my back?

- You have a car.

- I can bring the wheels, if you care:

the bastards shot my garage.

- There's an ambulance car, if it's still

in one piece.

- Then we have to go.

I'll go with you.

- Take the bag.

Hurry up.

It's got manual transmission.

- Do you know how to drive?

I drove in school. Drive yourself.

There's a clutch pedal. Now press the

breaks. Start the engine!

Go!

- Release the clutch slowly.

Now drive!

Your Secretary of State, Condoleezza

Rice, made a statement

condemning Russian aggression towards

Georgia. Great Britain's

prime minister has released

statements criticizing Russian

aggression.

- Soon you'll see.

Many countries of the world

rally for isolating Russia.

US warships are moving towards

Georgia's shores.

Let's hope it won't

start World War III.

Why don't they

mind their own business?

All of my neighbors were Georgians.

We've always celebrated together.

Hold still, my dear. I think

he wants to drink. Do you have water?

No, don't let him drink.

Have patience, we'll arrive soon.

How much longer do we have to drive?

We're half way there.

We have to call our relatives and let

them know they can leave the city.

We'll drop the boy off and return to

pick them up.

They're here to get us.

Freeze!

Mind showing me the butterflies?

Where's the disk?

We lost it in Tskhinvali

during a bombardment.

Bring the old man.

We've got a lot of bullets.

Listen, we don't have any disk, let him go.

Don't do it! Is this what

you're looking for?

Please let us go. We have an injured

little boy with us in the car.

I'll let you go, if

this is what I'm looking for.

You're free to leave.
