I'd rather walk. I can't leave my child.

You can't walk!

Please, how much to fit the boy?

Seventy thousand, no boy.

- Seventy thousand, no boy.

- Driver! Driver, driver!

Please, please, please.

Hey, hey. With the boy!

No boy. No bargaining.

I can't.

Get in!

I'll walk! I won't leave my child!

There's no other way! Get in!

Give her to her mother!

Give her to her mother!

Remember to pray to God everyday.

I'll see you very soon.

Always pray! Don't be afraid!

I will see you soon!

We'll find you, okay?

It's full! Everyone get back!

We'll find you!

Everything will be alright!

Take this!

You're with the men now, keep quiet.

Calm down.

Calm down.

Agu! Agu! Agu!

Let's go.

Let's go home.

And this is how it is starting.

Go take the clothes out of the rain.

Agu, close the windows.

God, when I'm closing my eyes,

I am seeing

the rainy season in my village.

You can be finding the ground

is washing away beneath your feet.

Nothing is ever for sure...

and everything is always changing.

Agu! Agu!

Hey.

Come on! Hurry!

Stay here. I'll call you when it's clear.

Hey! Hey, hey!

Come on!

Hey!

Hurry!

Hurry!

We need to go. If they catch us...

Keep quiet. They'll hear us.

If we run away now,

they won't see us.

Be patient. The soldiers are outside.

If you talk, they'll find us. Keep quiet.

Agu...

whatever happens...

it's God testing us.

We have to be strong.

We have to go.

Open it.

Don't do it!

Please.

Turn around! Turn around!

Give me a rope!

I will kill you today.

Quiet.

Y'all shut your mouth!

- Y'all shut your mouth!

- Shut your f***in' mouth!

Which faction do you fight for?

No faction.

- No faction.

- We are not fighters.

We are from this town.

We are protecting the stores.

You are Native Defense Forces, hmm?

- You are Native Defense Forces, hmm?

- No.

I am the Section Chief.

We are trying to stop the looters.

Bring the woman.

You are calling us looters.

- You are calling us looters.

- No. No. No, no, no.

You f***in' sh*t. Quiet!

No, no.

Do you know these men?

- Do you know these men?

- Master, master, master, please. Please.

This woman, everybody knows she's crazy.

I don't know them.

Master! Master, talk to her and you know

that she's not right in the head.

They are not from here.

They must be rebels.

We are not rebels.

We, the armed forces of

the National Reformation Council,

find you all to be spies.

- No!

- Please!

I sentence you to

immediate and summary execution.

Waste them.

Run!

Run!

Run!

Please, please, please.

Kill them all!

You! Hey!

Cease fire!

Wanna die, f***ing PLF?

- Wanna die, f***ing PLF?

- F***ing rebel.

Tie this f***ing spongebag up.
