I had to slide along the grass,|wipe my arse like a dog.

That's a lovely visual, Stilton.

That's why I drink whisky, my dear.

Whatever it is, tummy bugs,|even memories, this kills it.

- Cheers.|- Cheers.

This stuff has put more experienced|drinkers than you in a coma.

Don't worry about this man, Zoe.

He can drink anyone under the table.|Yours truly excepted.

You got pretty f***ed up in Bosnia.

- Me? Never!|- Most definitely.

- Never! You were in Bosnia, too?|- See what I mean?

- What were you? 12?|- 19.

Everything's easier in a miniskirt.

Speaking from personal experience,|are you, Stilton?

Bosnia's pretty f***ed up.

Not as bad as Rwanda, though.

Families hacked and stacked in churches.

Imagine the attention that would|have got if they'd had oil there.

Yeah, war is like|an old toothless whore.

- Dutchman!|- Disgusting mainly. But then...

Every now and again...

...she gives it to you|like nobody's business.

I mean, special.

The old whore!

Oh, yes, Mommy!

- So, you guys got a... a plan yet?|- We're trying to get hold of Rezo.

Captain Avaliani.|You know, my guy from Iraq?

Thought he might have some leads.

But so far all we know|is his unit's back.

Well, let me know.|I got a guy in Variani.

He can hook you up with a guy|if you need it.

- Where you headed?|- Tskhinvali.

- What?|- What?

My dear chaps,|that's the separatists' capital.

I just go where the man tells me,|and point the camera.

OK. All set.

Dutchmars guy will meet us|near the village square at midnight.

Oh, God!

What do they put in this sh*t here?|Maybe I'm just getting old.

Roll down your window, will you?

It's no good, mate.|You're gonna have to pull over.

Really?

You all set? Lightweight.

Yeah.

Actually, I feel kind of hungry now.

- Have we got any snacks?|- No!

And if we have to stop|every five minutes for you to puke,

we are never making it to the border.

F*** you!

- Sounds like shelling.|- Things are heating up.

Attacks are growing.

Both villages and peacekeepers|are under fire now.

We have casualties. Dead and wounded.

- We must respond.|- I agree.

If we respond, we are at war.

We cannot risk it.

Mr President,|if our troops cannot return fire,

they cannot evacuate the wounded.

We will maintain ceasefire|as long as we can.

Mr President,|there is visual confirmation

of Russian tanks|amassing for an invasion.

I must address country|and world press tonight.

I think that would be|a good idea, Mr President.

- OK, let's do it.|- OK.

There's local colour.

Besides, we've got time to kill|before Dutchman's guy shows up.

Are you making wedding videos now?

Shut the f*** up.

Stop checking out the chicks.|The president's coming on.
