Welcome To Sarajevo Page #3

'by Radovan Karadjic,

the Bosnian Serb leader.

'There are 4,500 prisoners held here.

'These are the ones

we were allowed to talk to.'

Can you just hold on?

Hold on. Michael...

Sorry.

I...didn't wanna

let it go and, um...

No, no, no. You did

the right thing. Absolutely.

- Well done.

- Thanks.

Annie, it's a great story.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

Henderson.

- You, uh...you got any petrol?

- Yeah.

You think I might be able

to get a lift across town?

- Now?

- Yeah.

Yeah. All right.

Top man!

Yeah. Uh...

Uh...I got... I was with...

You speak Bosnian, eh?

Describing it in English,

it doesn't sound real.

If any language could

do it justice, it's Bosnian.

And does it?

I'm still learning.

Little, simple things.

Um, "do you have an avocado?"

"I'm desperate for a toilet."

- Ah!

- Ah.

(Flynn) Little things, you know,

like that. Thank you.

Here's the cake.

- Take the small piece.

- Toast.

- What's that?

- To their son.

Yeah. To your son.

'History has shown us

that you can't allow

'the mass extermination of

people and just let it happen.'

'We do not see

any evidence of a programme

'of systematic or massive

killing of innocent people...'

'50 years ago,

world leaders said,

"'We didn't know what was happening."

'We know what's happening, now.'

'Don't... Don't live under this dream

'that the West will come

and sort this problem out.'

D'you want these?

What d'you say we smoke one?

Don't start.

Once you start, you never stop.

You're not smoking or

drinking. What ARE you doing?

Staying alive.

Here. Have this as well.

I think I might...I might...

get the hell out and go home.

What d'you think?

Great.

I could...cover

the Republican Convention.

Maybe, uh...

How about, uh, the Superbowl?

Super bollocks!

Super bollocks?

- Why is it when Americans...?

- Why?

Why is it that Americans,

when they're playing sport,

wear so much padding?

You spend more time

dressing up than playing.

Sure, we don't dress

to the nines like cricket.

But...what about basketball?

Just a vest.

Basketball isn't a sport.

Basketball's a freak show.

Easy. You're on sacred territory.

The side with

the tallest player wins.

Also, it's a girls' game.

You know, only two good

things ever came from England.

One - America, two - the Beatles.

Beatles aren't English.

They're from Liverpool.

You even pad up to play girls' games.

You know...

Henderson...

Those orphans are not

your responsibility.

You're here, you're a reporter.

You're here to report.

F*** YOU! A**HOLE!

GET A JOB!

Zeljko. Would you take care of these?

Mr Henderson, you leaving?

Yes.

Have some of those. I don't smoke.

- Thank you very much.

- OK.

- Oh, hi there.

- Hi.

- Good night?

- Yeah. Very good.

- Hi.

- This is Nina.

Hello. Welcome to the

Thanks.

- Nina's an aid worker.

- Is this water?

- Yeah.

- Can I...?

A children's charity.

The Children's Lifeline.

We've got a bus.

Bring in food and take out kids.

I'm pitching our story

to your network.

- What sort of children?

- Boys and girls.

Children who are sponsored

abroad or have relatives abroad.

And babies.

They're easy to find homes for.

I can get babies. There's an

orphanage on the front line.

- D'you need babies?

- Aren't you leaving?

You COULD leave - with us.

An epic story for you.

The Exodus!

Can you help any of them?

Well...we'll try. We'll try.

It's for the baby.

What's their name?

She thinks that she's going.

She says, "You promised me."

It's OK if we don't have

birth certificates.

Here they are.

If she had somewhere to go,

could you take her?

- Nina?

- What?

Emira. She wants to leave.

Does she have somewhere to go?

- No.

- No, I can't take her.

We have to prove the older kids

are visiting relatives.

No evacuation - that was the deal.

- What if she was visiting me?

- What d'you mean?

If she was coming to London

to visit me...?

It's not that simple.

Mrs Savic?

I can't speak for her.

You have to ask her yourself.

What's that?

Is that a yes?

Yes. That's yes.

I thought she might want to stay.

She's been with me always.

But it's OK. I'm glad she doesn't.

It's just for a short time.

Until the war's over.

Yeah...

For a short time. I hope so.

Hello, TV man.

You got any cigarettes?

You know this is

completely illegal, don't you?

Yes.

Why are you doing this?

I don't know.

- Married?

- Yes.

- Kids?

- Yes.

OK. I don't want anyone

to know what you're doing.

Not your news crew,

your producer, no one.

Don't sit near her on the bus.

I want you to treat Emira

like all the other kids.

Right.

I'm very grateful.

'At last

there is good news

'for the children of

Ljubica lvezic Orphanage.

'Five babies have got places

on a convoy

'taking children to ltaly,

'where they can stay

till the fighting is over.

'They'll have to leave behind

more than 100 older children

'who aren't so lucky.

'Their daily struggle

to survive seems without end.'

'The babies are not

out of danger yet.

'Landmines and mortars

are some of the hazards

'that lie between them

and the safety of ltaly.

'Last week, snipers fired on

a bus trying to leave Sarajevo.

'Two babies were killed.'

Are you worried

about the children?

Yes, I am.

But we have a one-hour

ceasefire throughout Sarajevo

and permission from authorities

on both sides to bring them.

What's the alternative?

To leave them here?

'The mothers of the children

leaving today

'clearly feel it is more

dangerous to stay than to go.'

I'd like to apologise

on behalf of the American people

for not delivering

on those air strikes.

If things were reversed -

Muslims slaughtering Christians,

we'd have done something by now.

We have safe passage

through this street.

This is the street, right?

Door, please.

- Back!

- What's happening?

They won't let us through.

They're sending us

the long way round.

Everybody back!

Back on the bus, please.

Sorry about this. They insist

on searching the bus.

You'll have to get everybody off.

OK, they wanna search the bus.

We have to get off. It'll be OK.

Back on. We're all right.

We're OK. We're going.

It's... It's really like

where I come from.

Apart from the mountains

and the water and the sun.

Very, very similar.

Elton John.

OK.

It's so quiet.

- Treetop.

- Treetop.

Tree top.

Tree...top.

Top.

You'd be better off

teaching her ltalian.

- That's where she's going.

- You know ltalian?

- Look...tree...

- Tree.

- Top.

- Top.

- Helen.

- Helen.

- Christopher.

- Christopher.

- Jane.

- Jane.

- Garden...

- Garden...

- In...

- In...

- London.

- London.

- London in...

- London in...

- England.

- England.

- England in...

- London.

No...

Good night.

We...give full guarantees

according to Geneva Convention

for civilians.

You can't negotiate with a terrorist.

- Quickly, quickly.

- Onto the bus.

That's it, that's it.

Get 'em on the back door. Come on!

Let's go! Quickly! Come on!

Chetniks.
