The Whistleblower
Hey, Kathy.
You're in a hurry.
Where's the fire?
Sorry.
- Hey, Mare.
- Hey.
Transfer come through?
No.
You'll find something, hon.
Yes.
- Hey boys.
- Hey
Hey, why don't you guys go inside,
and your mom, Okey?
All right?
Marie asked me to bring this.
Erin around?
It's nice to see you too, Kath.
Yes, right.
You can't hold this against me.
I gave you plenty of warning on this.
It's not my fault you're married
to that job of yours.
You just sprung this on me, what...
look, I'm not going
to do this in front of Erin, okay.
Where is she? Erin?
And actually I'm not married
to my job.
I happen to like it.
I don't see why that
has to make me a bad mother.
Well, it's not my fault the judge
didn't see it that way, Kath.
Thanks, Kyle,
thank you for bringing that up.
Look, I told you,
you're welcome
to come down to Dalton
It's really simple for me,
you know, I've just got to
clear my mortgage,
find a transfer,
you know, really a piece of cake.
Hey, sweetie.
How's it going?
Come here. Oh.
- Come here.
- No, Kyle, it's fragile.
- How am I supposed to know?
- Hi, Marie. How's it going?
Thank you.
- Why don't you label them...
- Marie scares me.
I'll tell you a secret.
She scares me too.
Don't tell anyone.
You okay?
Uh huh.
Tell me.
When are you coming?
Sweetie, I'm having a really hard time
finding a transfer.
It might take awhile.
But I'm trying really hard.
Okay, I'm going to make it happen,
okay?
I don't understand.
There's got to be something.
I mean, I have the experience,
- Kathy!
- I took extra forensic courses.
Kathy!
You've done everything right.
This is just how the cards fell.
Yeah, story of my f***ing life.
Look, there's something
I heard about.
Yeah.
This is just how the cards fell.
What with you trying
to get closer to your kid.
It's incredible money.
A hundred grand
tax-free for six months' work.
Come on. Is it legal?
What is this?
It's the contractor
that the government
uses to provide peacekeepers
in Bosnia.
Bosnia.
You see the bullet marks?
Eye level!
You come here today
as a beacon of hope.
As representatives
of our highest aspirations.
You've been hired
by Democra Security
to represent the US
as monitors for the United Nations.
In the next few months you
will protect the rule of law where
lawlessness is run rampant.
The 1995 Dayton Peace Accords
ended this war
dictating that an international
police task force...
...you, would smooth the transition
from war to peace.
During your training
you will see that peace
is harder won than war.
That every morning's hope is haunted
by yesterday's nightmare.
As representatives
of the United Nations,
we stake our highest values,
even our lives...
...on the belief that we can rebuild.
We must renew
and we will witness the rebirth
of this country.
It'll settle down.
- You been here before?
- This is my second mission.
You came straight
from the Academy?
No, I'm not a cop.
I work in administration.
You only need a...
...high school diploma
and to be over 21 to get in.
Oh.
What about you?
What brought you here?
Oh, I heard the food
was really great.
I thought the war was over.
De-mining.
- You okay?
- Yeah.
I'm great.
I'm serious, I'm serious.
He couldn't move off the mine
for eight days and eight nights.
So he's demanding time
and a half for nights.
Best part is that now sue me!
How about that?
You still seeing the...
the little guy?
Kathy, meet Fred Murray.
- Hi.
- Pleasure.
Hey, guys. We got a match.
High stakes tournament situation.
US versus Holland.
Come on, let's go.
- Yes!
- Come on,
Come on, yes!
You suck at pinball
and you suck at football.
Who do you think invented pinball?
- Can you play?
- Can I play Hold this.
Okay... okay. Alright.
She's having the last one.
The last one.
You know what?
You got to pull it. Alright.
Yeah, she knows,
okay, she knows.
Okay, come on, come on.
Damn it!
Here we go!
Here we go! Here we go!
Here we go! Here we go!
Sh*t!
Sorry, guys.
- I Don't know what happened.
- Who's not going to buy the drinks?
I don't know what happened there.
I would love some whisky and...
Don't use...
Oh sh*t!
Sorry, you can't
you can't use both flippers
at the same time, otherwise
Flippers?
Yeah, these are called flippers.
Well, this is the way I was taught.
- With a man behind you?
- Girls.
Bam, bam,
because it has to bounce off.
This move still get you laid?
Well, in Holland it does.
I'm really out of practice.
Gentlemen.
So where do we sign
to say we came?
You sign...
Well... well, I think you have to sign
at the end of the session.
No. Why? No, no, no, no.
Yep, yep, it says right here,
"UN mandate requires
you to sign at the end"
Yes, but this paper is no good.
- The new policy is...
- Leave her alone.
They try it out with everyone.
You sign them in,
they bugger off.
- I'm McVeigh. You're Kathy? Yeah?
- Yeah.
Welcome to paradise.
Follow me.
Okay, gentlemen.
If you've nothing
better to do today
I would like you to start investigating
two new stabbings.
Four new shootings...
and a wee man with a broken leg
who can barely remember his name.
First one.
In here.
Gather around.
Kathy,
why don't you take this, please?
Facial contusions from repeated
beatings with fist.
Lacerations on the eye
caused by the edge of an iron.
Left arm was the first entry point
of a large kitchen knife.
Okay Mama,
I'm just going to lift this up.
It's all right, it's okay.
Who did this?
Looks like the husband.
Okay, that's the case.
Who's taking it
and what's their first step?
I will take it.
Very good.
All right. All right.
All right. Calm down. Calm down.
What did he say?
Say woman is Muslim
and she deserved it.
That's enough.
Stop it!
Hands off.
Moving on.
Next case.
Go.
Everyone outside.
Kathy, you too.
Excuse me, Excuse me.
What do you mean moving on?
Who's going to investigate
and make an arrest?
- This is a felony assault.
- Okay, let me ask you something.
Can you tell a Serb from a Croat
or a Bosniak?
Because I can.
Racial hatred started a war
in this country.
And as much as I'd like to be,
we aren't here as investigators,
we monitor. That's it.
Sometimes stepping back
is part of the job.
Zlata has been in the hospital
eight times
because of her husband.
Each time she tried
to make complaint,
my bosses send her home.
They laugh at her.
They laugh at women in Bosnia.
They laughed at my mother even.
And they do not prosecute
domestic violence.
Yesterday you wanted to help.
Now you can show me
how to do this.
So this is the hospital report.
You have no police reports.
Well, what you need to do
is you need to investigate this
as if it were a felony assault.
So if you go back to the hospital
and then you get every single
doctor who treated her to testify...
well, then you might have a chance.
- Oh hello.
- Hello.
