...respected and the Geneva

Convention upheld.

lt shouldn't have to be talked about.

Thank you.

That was great.

l may be paranoid,

but l think somebody's tailing us.

ls it a BMW? Time reported

that kidnappers only drive BMWs.

lf not, there's nothing to fear.

Well?

l can't tell. There are several

people. lt's a Nissan...

...or a Toyota.

How much further is it?

10 kilometers. Maybe 8.

- Are you driving as fast as you can?

- l am.

We're almost there, aren't we?

l'm not familiar with this road.

l normally take the highway.

- What did he say?

- He's unfamiliar with the south.

Sh*t.

Raise 'em slowly.

Show him your permit.

Rolling?

Sure.

Let's go!

Hold on!

We're turning around.

What for? They let us go.

But there's no ceasefire

and no permit either.

They almost shot us,

if you didn't happen to notice!

l was at headquarters

when we talked.

They said it would be okay.

We gotta get the drugs...

...to the hospital.

- This is all f***ed up!

We have no permit, convoy or

ceasefire. We're going back at once!

We're almost there!

Didn't you hear the guy?

Nobody'll help us...

...if we're up sh*t creek!

- We have local contacts.

- lf he's still there!

- lf he was ever there!

He'll be there.

Sorry, l had no idea.

Don't believe her!

She's been f***ing us...

...over the whole time!

- Stay here.

We'll pick you up in an hour.

- Great suggestion.

Well?

She's right. We're almost there.

- We'll be outta there by dark?

- Yes.

- Enough time to shoot?

- l promise.

l'm going with her. You want

to give me the camera and stay here?

No problem. l understand.

We'll pick you up later.

l gotta be crazy.

Put it in the glove compartment,

that's a better place.

Why do you have a gun?

You know how many hospitals

were looted?

l have no desire to watch them

wheel away my operating table.

Salam aleikum.

- Hi.

- Hi.

- Everything okay?

- Yes, thank goodness.

- Who's that?

- Said, our contact.

He'll get us through enemy lines.

They're changing constantly.

Urban warfare.

Getting any reasonable shots?

Have him slow down.

Could you ask him?

Husam, please slow down.

l can't. l'd lose Said.

Just a bit.

- How much further?

- Maybe 4 kilometers.

The ceasefire's over tomorrow.

What then?

Time to work again.

Stop! Pull over!

No! We'll lose Said!

ls he crazy? lt's dangerous here!

Come on! Get in the car.

She's dead.

- This is the front.

- Come back here!

Get in, Oliver!

Come on! Come on!

lt isn't safe. Hurry up!

This must be the front.

Otherwise they'd remove the dead.

There he is!

Get down! Move!

- What happened?

- My leg!

Sh*t!

- My leg!

- Sh*t!

First show me your head. We'll fix up

your leg later. Does it hurt badly?

- A strip.

- Yes.

- You were lucky.

- We have to get to the hospital.

- Without Said?

- We've lost him now.

Damn it!

The electrical system is f***ed.

We aren't going anywhere.

The drugs have to get to the hospital.

The car is dead. You wanna walk?

Can you walk?

- l'll try.

- Come on. Let me out.

Alain.

Come here. Okay?

ls it okay?

Come on.

This way. We'll bandage you

first of all.

Lie down here.

Here?

Come here.

Sorry about your pants.

lt's getting dark.

lt'll be curfew soon.

And no more ceasefire tomorrow.

What did you say?

We'll be out by dark.

Sometimes things go wrong.

lt isn't my fault.

Who got us into this mess?

You didn't care if we got out alive!

Ralf!

What about the car?

The electrical system blew

every fuse. We're stuck.

How dangerous is it for us here?

lt depends if they start shooting

tonight or not.

lf the rebels find us here,

who knows?

Anything can happen.

Anybody got reception?

There's been no electricity

or phone service for a week.

Then we have to get help on foot.

Great idea! You heard

what the guy at the checkpoint...

...said.

- Really not a good idea.

We shouldn't hang around outside.

So what's the plan?

Wait for the war to end?

Knock it off!

We're up to our necks in sh*t.

Understand?

- lt should work now.

- Thanks.

Maybe Husam can repair the car.

Seen the engine yet?

Alain.

l'll cut it off.

lt's one way of getting acquainted.

Thirsty?

Yes.

l'll get something.

You see a chance?

No idea.

We're taking everything apart first.

Can you put it back together?

Probably not,

but you got a better idea?

lt's your fault if we don't get out.

What are you thinking?

What can we do?

Pray.

What's wrong with you?

l can see something's wrong.

ls it the morphine?

l'm quitting.

That's good. l'll help you.

l'm quitting. l can't go on.

l wanted to tell you, but...

- What do you mean?

What are we doing all this for?

l'm too old.

l've been doing this way too long.

You aren't being serious.

What are you going to do?

Go back home to your wife?

Greetings, l'm back.

Maybe.

The hospital?

Erik will take over. lt's okay.

l've managed everything in Baghdad.

You'll just abandon your patients?

And me, too?

Sorry.

Ceasefire.

Start the engine!

Stop, for God's sake!

- F***!

God help us.

Thanks.

Your family?

Yeah.

My daughter.

Come on, pal.

lt's all so f***ed up!

Everything's falling apart.

Like what?

You establish something. People

trust you and suddenly you have...

...to say, "That was it.

Nobody's gonna help you now."

l never wanted to experience it

again, and now it's happening again.

And this time l'm responsible.

lt isn't your fault.

Oh yes. Your friend's right.

l messed up everything.

We'll make it to the hospital.

You could have died.

l lied to you.

What do you mean?

l wanted you to come along.

We never had a permit.

The situation wasn't safe enough. That's

why we took the side road.

l don't believe it.

l'm not alone here.

l'm responsible for Ralf, too.

What should l do? We needed the

supplies. Without them hundreds of...

...people would die. l don't know.

l just hoped it would...

...turn out all right.

l'm sorry.

l'm really sorry.

l decided to take the risk. Not you.

- Can l help you?

- Sure.

By keeping your mouth shut.

l have to apologize to you.

l'm sorry. You were...

- lt's okay.

Try to find a piece of inner tube.

A goat's gut would do, too.

- Okay.

Hands up! Who are you? What are you

doing here? What do you want?

l'm aiming at you!

l'll shoot your head off!

- l'm a journalist, l'm no soldier.

- l'll shoot your head off!

- Calm down, Sir!

- Get out!

No evil intended. He's a journalist.

The car needs fixing.

We want to repair it.

- What car?

We got shot at. Now the electrical

system is out of order.

Don't move!

What's he doing?

- What's going on?

- l don't know.

What's going on?

Come in.

Come in.

- Hi.

- Hi.

How do you do. Sit down.

Hello.

- Peace be with you.

- Hi.

With you, too!

Thanks.

Here... a pillow.

Thanks.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Sir, we've come to Fallujah

from Baghdad to help the wounded.

We want to go to the hospital.

- May God help you.

l have two sons.

They're at the front.
