- I wanted to get there tomorrow night.
- That wasn't going to happen.
We couldn't have known about customs.
It'd be a miracle
if they didn't question something.
Food's here.
Great.
I've lost my appetite.
Guys, come get your keys.
- Keys?
What are you doing here?
Where are you going?
Bulgaria.
- How come?
- Work.
Work? You can work in Germany.
How many cards?
I can say what I need, right?
17 and four.
I'm dead anyway!
Sh*t, the whole road's blocked.
It's all over the ground.
Great, more extra work.
More trees up there, Vincent?
Boris?
Come on. We've got other stuff to do.
- This'll set us back again.
- Oh, well.
Hey, newbie.
Just getting the guys a drink.
You got skills or not?
What do you need?
Show me what you've got.
Alright.
You been away on a job before?
Not abroad.
You a wise guy?
I'm here to earn money.
Here you go. Everyone helps themselves.
Just serve it.
- Who washed the dishes?
- Good question.
Who washed these?
Boris.
- Can our Russian give us a lesson?
- You're our translator.
Boris!
What?
If I want to talk to a girl.
- A girl?
- Right, exactly.
- How so?
- Don't lick it.
How do I say "Hi" to her nicely?
How would you... I can translate...
- Just a nice "hello."
- Then you say nicely,
Hello.
Can't talk to a woman like that.
Who knows when I'll get to the village?
I thought Sunday was our swim day.
Pass the ashtray, I want a smoke.
- I'd love to go shooting here.
- With a bow and arrow?
No, for real.
With a G36 or something.
I bet they've got one in the village.
What is there left to shoot up in Bulgaria?
Everything's already busted.
This isn't the Foreign Legion.
- They wouldn't let you in anyway.
- And they'd let you in?
It's not for weaklings.
- It's sink or swim.
- And you'd be in Africa now.
War is war, life is life.
You can't just lump them together.
Brief overview.
The fish ladder's going there.
The sluices go here.
It's all marked out. Turbines there.
Problem is, the river's in the wrong place.
We'll do some leveling.
We'll extend the natural embankment.
- And the road?
- Right.
- That'll happen when the water's gone.
- I have to get my equipment in here.
- You want that river gone?
- Yeah, so we can bring it around here.
We have to block it up there.
- What materials should we use?
- Anything here.
Put your cigarette out.
On your marks, get set, mount!
I thought this could be the flagpole.
If we lengthen it.
Know what I mean?
Which corner?
If it's outside, it might tip over.
It has to go on the outside.
- I don't believe it.
- What?
- Have you gone totally nuts?
- Yeah, we have.
Or else we wouldn't be here, right?
Have you considered the locals?
We do nothing else.
We're building them a water power plant.
Looks awesome.
Muggy, right?
The heat kills you.
My jam will make you guys lick the jar clean.
What's going on here?
What are you doing?
Are you from up there?
I don't understand you.
I bet he's one of the Germans.
- This land...
- Jens?
Put the knife away.
- ...is Georgi's.
- Put it away.
Don't you know this is Georgi's land?
The nut trees...
the plums...
- I don't understand you guys!
- What are you doing here?
Man, oh man...
They were after something.
Like scouts, you know? Really!
Checking things out, seeing who we are...
I didn't understand them. Sorry.
They weren't necessarily hostile,
Marcel! We're going this way!
Why can't you listen?
I said this way!
Dumbass, get that thing out of there!
Sorry.
This sucks.
Jens, what's up?
Can you bring us a few beers?
You're getting on my nerves.
- Know what I'm doing?
- Bringing me a beer?
- Going for a swim.
- You forgot something.
I don't think so.
Meinhard, throw me a beer!
Can you do it?
Just what I wanted to see! You deserve it!
You shouldn't have moved.
Freshened up now?
Tommy, you should've kept drifting.
I would've fished you out at the site.
Look, a Fata Morgana.
Where did they come from?
- Take it off!
- Nice and slow!
Real slow.
Look at that.
Hot stuff.
Here's your beer.
Tommy, watch this.
Vincent, get it!
Go for it!
We've got the hat, at least.
Thanks.
My lady.
Come and get it.
Can I have my hat back?
What do you want?
Give her the hat.
What is this? Come here.
Give her the hat.
Come on, give me my hat!
You're right. Come and get it.
Viara, be careful!
Look at that.
Son of a b*tch, give me my hat.
You pig!
Quit jerking her around and give her the hat.
Yes, Mom.
Enough. Give me my hat.
No! Viara! No!
Vincent, what are you doing?
Idiot!
Come back!
Sure, you're all smarter.
You went a bit too far, huh?
Isn't the heat driving you crazy?
- Not yet.
- Get a hat.
- I've got one down below.
- I'm heading up.
Lunch!
- Get the machine out of the sun.
- Alright.
I want to go that way, not that way.
You can't beat me.
They're mine.
- I've got...
- What?
No, no.
You. Cigarette?
I don't have any.
Where are you from?
Meinhard.
Where's this guy from? You know him?
We're getting acquainted.
I just asked for a cigarette.
Germany.
Sophisticated people, educated!
Bravo, you two.
Having a nice chat with the German.
- We're telling the guy...
- After I refused him a cigarette.
I'm telling him there used to be Germans here.
There used to be, but...
They're civilized, decent.
He's clearly not one of the decent ones.
Come on, give the man a cigarette.
During the war, they were orderly and neat.
And honest! Always honest and upright...
Cigarette.
- One. No more.
- Thank you.
Because of them. Otherwise you'd get nothing.
It won't happen again. Let him have a smoke.
The Germans...
put homemade lamps
on the backs of donkeys
lit them and sent the donkeys along the border
between Bulgaria and Greece.
The Greeks aimed their rifles.
The Germans came from behind.
And attacked. Bang, bang, bang. Finished.
Horse.
The horse is Adrian's.
Where living?
What does he want?
He says it's his horse.
- It's your uncle's.
- What's up?
Vanko, let's take the horse and go.
Get down.
Vanko, let's take it and go.
- Why are you giving it to him?
- Get the horse.
- What do you want me to do?
- Nice.
- Maybe as a cutlet, yeah.
Where did you get him?
Unbelievable, dude!
Don't you think someone's looking for it?
It's a beast, right?
I used to braid my sister's hair.
Like...
Want us to leave you guys alone?
Is it ladies' night or something?
Come on, don't be like that.
We know you have a dick.
Helga?
Hey, it's Helmut.
I'll use the rubber band from the fish bag.
- What? You washed your hands, right?
- Yes.
I wouldn't forget your birthday. You know me.
- Do you use conditioner and all?
- The whole works.
Helga?
- It gets real soft.
- I know.
I'd love hair like that.
- Quit fidgeting!
- Alright.
We got cut off in the middle of the call.
