In The Land Of Blood And Honey Page #2

---

Don't be afraid.

Would you like a drink?

No, sir.

"Sir"?

Danijel.

I had a clear shot today.

One of your Muslim

friends was in my scope.

And I'm thinking about you,

wondering,

"Would she thank me if I

spared this poor man's life?."

And then it hit me,

"How can people

kill so easily?."

And then I wondered,

"Would she kill me

if she could?."

"Would Ajla kill Danijel?."

Did you kill him?

I didn't.

Ls everything okay with you?

Everything is fine.

Hey!

We got a report

from headquarters.

The front line is stable.

Muslims are running all over the place.

You have to be more careful

of who you shoot at.

UNPROFOR is increasing

their presence.

They can see everything now.

The whole world is watching.

So now what?

Radovan and politicians will be

kissing international TV's ass?

They will try to make it look

like nothing's happening. Why?

The UN and UNPROFOR are doing nothing.

They're just standing on the other side.

We won already.

I'm just telling you

people, watch yourselves.

Enter.

Good evening, Ajla.

Thank you for dinner.

For cleaning up after me.

It's nothing.

It's not nothing.

You have a beautiful smile.

Thank you.

I never asked you,

who were you before the war?

What did you do?

I wanted to be a painter.

I was a painter, I suppose.

I have a painting hanging at the

Sarajevo Municipal Gallery.

In the Gallery?

Really?

Mmm.

But that doesn't really

matter now, does it?

And what did you paint?

People or, what do you call it,

Still life?

People.

Usually my sister.

And did you always

want to be a policeman?

Some of us don't have a choice.

This was always

my family tradition.

Captain?

Did you find it?

Yes. Yes, that's the one.

Copy it.

Watch and learn.

Yes, sir.

Watch where you're going.

Come on, clean it up.

Keep practicing.

That's it, that's it.

I'm going.

Tomorrow, after lunch, I'll go

to the back of the building.

In the bathroom, above the

radiator, there is a window.

Crawl through it.

I'll wait for you

on the other side.

I will not stop you.

Tomorrow?

Get out of the city

as soon as you can.

Find a shelter.

And do not come out.

If you have to, do it at night.

We can't see that well at night

and, by then,

my soldiers are drunk.

This will not end soon.

Things will only get worse.

You should know.

Are we so terrible that we

all should be exterminated?

You're not.

I'm sorry.

It's all...

It's politics, not murder.

All of this is complicated.

The politics of all this

are very complicated.

It is murder,

for political gain.

But still murder.

All the more reason for you

to leave tomorrow.

The sooner the better.

I can't protect you forever.

No matter how much I'd want to.
