Police

What the hell is the matter

with him

I bet you 20 marks the line goes dead.

Trace my call! If I'm calling

it's because I have a f***ing emergency!

Hello?

Sh*t!

F*** this guy.

What the f***, man?

Goddamn f***ing Bosnians!

We are not Bosnians, my friend.

We are Serbs.

So let the f***ing Serbs

help your Bosniak girl.

Can we hurry up, please

Oh!

Europa... Stay on the path!

Stay on the path!

You're gonna blow us all to hell!

What... Are there mines here?

Check your map!

Vuk!

You know what a woman is?

What?

The decoration around her p*ssy.

Can you please be more careful

Hey! Hey, why are we stopping?

Huh?

F*** this guy, eh?

Who does he think he is

Guys! This isn't a picnic!

Take it easy, my friend.

Enjoy Bosnia.

Sunshine... Fresh air...

Minefields... Relax.

Our residence.

Uh, wait a minute.

This is your post?

I am not taking my girlfriend in there!

Friend...

We apologize 'cause this is not Hilton.

But you're not

on your f***ing honeymoon, OK?

-Hey.

-Hey, baby.

Take it easy. Take it easy.

I am on top of everything, OK?

Don't worry. OK?

-OK.

-I'm gonna take care of you. Don't worry.

Remember...

I'm your guardian angel.

Alex!

Alex!

Help!

Scream all you like, nobody can hear you.

Help!

Help!

Help!

Shut up!

Help!

Shut your f***ing mouth!

Put her down there.

Help!

Give her it.

Shut up!

No!

Look at her...

This is no time for prayers.

See how she is spoiling our fun?

Princess, this is just the beginning.

Come on.

Let's go from here.

-Shut up, you b*tch!

Stay still, for God's sake!

Shut up!

Hit her!

We're here.

Say goodbye to daddy.

See you never.

Greet your father.

Go with God.

Say goodbye to daddy.

Hey.

Calm down.

That was just a bad dream.

I have good news and bad news.

The good news

is that you're going to be fine.

The bad news is that we missed the plane.

They dressed the wound.

It's nothing serious.

No, no, no. No, no, no

Don't move. Don't move. Don't move.

Don't move.

We had to bring you down.

For the first aid kit.

I am so glad you're OK.

And don't worry.

I'm here for you.

We're here for you.

Alex...

It's a trap.

Selma.

Selma!

Good morning.

What is that?

Holy water.

Rakia.

Here... Your father liked it.

Hey!

F*** your Bosnian mother!

Be still, be still!

Sh*t. F*** you!

Selma!

Leave me alone!

Let's smoke.

Selma, no!

Selma!

What's the matter with you?

Have you gone completely nuts?

Do you realize what would have happened

if you had actually used this, huh?

Jesus Christ, Selma,

they're just trying to help.

Help?

Scum like them killed my whole family!

The war is over!

Not all Serbs are bad people!

Yeah, sure! You're so naive!

And you're paranoid!

Don't ever...

do that to me again.

Ever.

You understand?

You'll end up getting us both killed.

You got us into this.

Now do something to get us out of here.

Um, guys...

Um...

I'm really sorry about what just happened.

My girlfriend, you know, she's...

under a lot of stress.

OK. Her parents and her brother. They...

They were, uh...

Well, they were killed.

They disappeared...

in this area during the war. Um...

And their remains

just turned up a month ago,

in a mass grave,

you know, after those floods.

And yesterday we buried them

in Srebrenica. So...

I guess you can see why

she's in such a nervous state, I mean...

I keep trying to get her

to move on, but, uh...

Anyway, I'm--I'm really sorry.

Truly, I am.

It's OK, my friend. I--I understand.

It's a... Bosniak thing.

Yeah, right?

I mean, they are, uh...

They are complicated, you know?

She never even told me that she lived

through the war as a child, you know?

And we've been seeing each other

for a year, I mean...

It's crazy, right?

Welcome to Bosnia.

What is he laughing about?

Leave him, he's a nice guy.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Hmm.

Thanks.

I like you, my friend.

You are a really nice European.

It's a pity I don't feel the same

for your woman.

Sorry.

Uh...

Anyway...

I really appreciate all your help

and all you've done for us.

Uh... Oh!

And if there's ever anything you need...

You know, here's my, uh...

Here's my--my card.

You know.

Sorry.

Um...

And that's my email.

-So...

But right now, I think it's best

if we, if we separate, you know.

My girlfriend will feel more comfortable

if we continue on our own.

So, um...

If that's OK?

Thank you.

Hey, man...

I don't want any problems, man.

We just want to go home.

Luckily for you,

that's what we're here for.

Remember the area is full of mines.

Look, you go down the road...

a mile or so.

Follow the signs, left and right.

Do not stray

or you will enter a minefield.

You get to the mountain and you go...

about 800 or 900 meters uphill.

You will see a small bridge.

You cross it and...

Sorry. Sorry. I forgot...

Ten thousand euros for the...

simultaneous translation.

Excuse me?

You heard me, my friend.

Ten thousand euros and we're OK, huh?

Is this some kind of joke?

The mountain rescue work

costs money, you know?

Uh...

The recession...

The economic crisis...

We have to live.

Of course, yeah.

Well, um...

Don't worry about it.

We'll have to try

and work it out ourselves.

So...

Thanks for all the help, guys.

Please, my friend...

Just pay...

and everything is OK.

I'm a little bit upset.

You f***ing bastards!

Let's not make things complicated, OK?

OK?

Be wise and nothing will happen to you.

Run! Run!

What's the matter, German b*tch?

Ya Hafizu.

Ya Hafizu.

Ya Hafizu.

Ya Hafizu.

Selma...

You haven't been very nice to me.

It doesn't matter.

I forgive you.

F*** your dead family!

F*** your Bosnian mother!

F*** you, b*tch!

Ya Hafizu.

Ya Hafizu.

Ya Hafizu.

Where is Milos?

You're not going to escape.

Milos!

Milos!

Answer me. Where is Milos?

Kaput.

I'm a little disappointed, you know?

I thought you would defend yourself.

But you are all the same.

You like being victims, don't you?

Hey, little mouse?

Has the cat got your tongue?

But that doesn't mean we're not going

to enjoy ourselves for a while.

Five... Four...

Run, mouse!

Three... Two... One... Now!

Don't you want to play?

We're going to play a little!

Stay still, mouse!

I'll find you.

You can't hide!

Little mouse!

Little mouse!

Hey!

Where have you got to?

When I'm finished with you,

I'll go and play with Europe.

Selma!

Little mouse!

I'm going to bury you so deep,

no one will know you even existed.

Ya Hafizu.

Ya Hafizu.

Ya Hafizu.

Ya Hafizu.

Alex...

Alex?

Alex!

Are you OK?

-Go...

-No...

It's OK, it's OK, it's OK,

it's OK, come.

It's OK. It's OK. It's OK.

You've to get away

before, before they come back.

Baby, listen to me!

They are dead both of them!

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

It's over.

We're safe! You're safe!

Alex...

You said you wanted to understand me.

Didn't you?

You can't even imagine

what they did to my family. Just...

Just because we are Muslims.

You know when I was...

a child...

they told me to scream?
