do anything? Nothing?

- Nothing.

- Nothing? I'll be right back, okay?

- Hey! Hey, hey, hey.

- Hey.

Hi. Can I talk to you in

private for a minute, please?

Excuse me. It's important.

I just need to talk to you. Sorry.

- Just give me two minutes.

- No, no. Just... just for a minute.

And if you can come with me, please?

- Are you okay?

- Yeah, I'm fine. I just... this...

I have a friend with me and I

just want you to talk to her out

- in the waiting room if that's okay.

- I'm sorry. I...

- I really don't have time.

- No. It's just for a minute, okay?

- What's the emergency about?

- What...

What's the emergency?

She's pregnant and she

needs an abortion now.

Just come talk to her

for two seconds, okay?

- Hi.

- Hi.

- I'm Dr. Vici.

- Hi.

Lee told me you have a problem.

Have you been downstairs in

the gynecologist department?

- Yes.

- Yeah? What did they say?

No, she... she's done everything

procedurally. She's had the...

I don't know.

Certified... the whole thing.

And she just... they keep telling her

that he's gonna come back and he...

I don't understand. What do you

want me to do? You know, I'm...

I'm not a gynecologist. You need a

different kind of doctor, you understand?

- I know. I understand.

- Yes... no, we want a different doctor.

- We just want you to call him please, okay?

- Okay, I call him.

- Okay, thank you.

- I'll call him later, in half an hour.

- Please, call him now. F***ing call him now.

- I gotta go now. I got patients.

I'm just gonna do it myself.

How was it when you came?

Not good.

- You don't want to stay here?

- They don't want people like me here.

I want to go to France.

- Oh, okay.

- I hope.

You will help me?

Yes.

Good.

No more time.

No. No more waiting.

We have to get the pills.

- I can get my pills.

- Why? Are you a doctor?

- Yes.

- Can you get me pills?

I can get you pills, too.

Are you... you're kidding.

I've been smoking since I got here.

- Y...

- What is your problem?

What do you want? Everybody...

no, no, no, no. Everybody smoking.

- What do you want? What do you want?

- Grazie.

- I'll put it out. I don't want to smoke

anyway. - Grazie. Grazie.

I will come back later.

Okay.

Were there many people on the boat?

Yes. Many. Too many.

The captain came to us and said,

"as long as the wind

don't get any stronger,

then we... we will live.

But if the wind grows,

I will say I'm sorry

because for sure we will all die here."

I was so scared but so black...

nothing but black.

My brother sat with

me and I fell asleep.

And when I woke up, he was gone.

What happened?

He fell or he was pushed.

Five others, as well.

Maybe there was a fight, and...

he fell into the sea.

I'm so sorry.

- Oh, hey, Filippo.

- Buona sera.

How are you?

Listen.

I'm...

Sorry, I just took the key.

Nobody was behind the desk.

It's okay. By the way,

I spoke to the maid.

- You did. Okay.

- And I told her not to bother you anymore.

- Thank you.

- And...

- I heard you had a visitor today.

- Yeah.

I wanted to ask you, please,

I hope you will not bring an undesirable

guest into the dining room again.

It's just upsetting for the other guests

to have these kind of

people in the restaurant.

I advise you to be more careful

about the company you choose.

Have I made myself clear?

Yeah. Thank you.

- Good.

- Okay.

I'll get the car...

she'll get the pills. Go to France.

I'll get the car, take the pills,

we'll go to France.

Get the car, we take the pills,

we go to France.

I thought you were

waiting for my call back.

Hi, Albert.

I want... I'm planning to come see you.

I want to, I want to

come see you. And I will.

Will you please tell everybody to

stop f***ing leaving me messages?

I'm not calling anybody back.

No!

It's Hafsia! Stop!

It's Hafsia.

Is there something

f***ing wrong with you?!

You stupid...

F***.

- I'm sorry.

- I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

It's okay.

I'm sorry.

Okay.

Let's go.

You want some wine?

- Okay.

- Thank you.

- Sit down.

- No, no. I don't sit. Thank you.

You don't have to sit.

Thank you.

- Is she gonna be long, Hafsia?

- She will soon be here.

Thank you.

It's okay.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Let's go.

Okay. I'm tired. I'm gonna go to bed.

It's okay?

- It's okay.

- Does it feel like it's it?

- I think.

- It's okay, then.

Why do you take the pills?

- Because I need them.

- Why?

Because, I...

Where is the girl that I remind you?

Libya. You look like her.

- How do you know her?

- I took her photo.

- With her brother?

- Yeah, with her brother.

Can I see the photo?

Yeah, later. After. Okay?

But who was she?

She was the girl in

the photo. I don't know.

Why do you think you

know people you don't know?

I need to go get the car. I'll be back.

Where'd you find that?

I was clearing out old files.

That was my first assignment

without you, on my own.

I was bloody angry with you,

for leaving me.

But f***ing proud.

Look how scared I was.

I was scared shitless.

Bella.

Could say things have worked

out pretty well for you there.

I guess that's one way to look at it.

Have a cookie.

- I'm sure it's been difficult.

- Yeah.

How so?

I mean, aside from all

the obvious reasons.

Oh, I guess...

I guess just from all

the obvious reasons.

You're angry. Of course you are.

It was hateful, what was done to you.

What was done to me?

What?

What was done to me?

I'll get the car, we'll take

the pills, we'll go to France.

I'll get the car, we'll take

the pills, we'll go to France.

What needs to be

done is to keep shooting.

That's the only thing you can do.

You know that.

Yeah, I know that. Yes. I know that.

Will you tell me what happened?

Was it the same as before?

In Afghanistan?

They put a rifle to the back of Mark's

head and blew his brains out.

You'll get through this.

You'll be back soon, to work.

I hate to say these things happen,

but they do. And too often.

When we were together,

we were protected,

or at the very least,

I would look after you.

You're a woman.

An amazing woman who has decided

to go into war zones and take pictures.

You're a bit crazy to want to do that.

And I think now you're too crazy to stop.

Yeah.

I'm an animal.

Where are they keys to your car?

- Sit back down, Lee.

- Where are the keys to the car?

In the kitchen. On the counter,

next to the fridge.

But please, sit back down.

The most f***ed up thing about

this is that I keep wishing...

that it was one of the

other guys, the Italians.

Either one. I don't care.

I just... I would feel bad,

but I wouldn't feel this.

It's just so f***ing weird, Bert.

Wh... why are you smiling?

- Nothing to your scorn.

- No. What are you smiling about?

- I was remembering.

- What?

When I came back from Nicaragua.

The way you looked at me, your mouth

hanging open like you were seeing a ghost.

I thought you were dead.

Hopefully sooner than later,

you'll realize there's a bit of luck in this

and not just because you got out of
