Killing Season
[Gunshots]
Come on, go, go, go.
Move, move, move.
Get down! Get down!
[Speaking foreign language]
Cease fire!
Hold your fire!
[Speaking foreign language]
Go!
[Speaking foreign language]
Hunting.
I am going hunting.
Ow.
[Rustling]
(Reporter #1) Another day
in Syria on Saturday.
Fighting in the northern city
of Atma has raged for days
causing widespread destruction
and casualties that have now
topped 35,000,
with many of those civilians.
The addition of more troops
in what are sure to be
has fueled worries
within the rebel ranks
and around the world.
Talks in Washington calling
for the arming of insurgents
in Syria.
(Reporter #2) We should start considering all options,
including arming
the opposition.
(Reporter #1) Experts say arming the fighting groups
among the opposition
is a sure way
to drag the country
into a protracted civil war.
It will also
further marginalize
those in the opposition who
have advocated non-violence
or to advance
political strategy.
[Oven ding]
[phone ringing]
(Recording) Please leave a message after the beep.
[Beep] Hey, Dad, it's Chris.
(Sarah) Did you get him?
(Chris) No, I got the machine.
(Sarah) Why don't you try his cell?
(Chris) 'Cause he doesn't have a cell.
(Sarah) You could email him.
(Chris) [laughs] Or a computer.
So I'll just leave a message--
Hey, buddy.
How's it going?
Hey. It's good.
It's great.
How about you?
You been radio silent for a while.
Just, you know,
keeping busy.
As usual.
So, hey, listen.
I don't know
if you saw the invite,
but tomorrow's
Matthew's baptism.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting him early, huh?
(Chris) What's that?
Nothing.
Just, yeah, that's great.
That'll be a great day.
You know,
we were hoping you were going to make it down.
To be honest,
it's tough for me tomorrow.
Come on, Dad.
What do you got going on?
Just, you know, odds and ends.
Look, if it's
the church thing,
you could just come
to the party afterwards.
You don't even
have to wear a tie.
That sweetens the deal.
[Laughs]
He coming?
Yeah, Dad.
He's going to be there.
Mom's been married
to the guy for 20 years,
you've said about as many words to him.
Yeah, well...
Look, like I said, son...
things have been keeping me
a little busy up here.
Right. Well...
Won't bug you about it anymore.
You're not bugging me.
No, you're not bugging me.
Well, hey, maybe we'll drive up sometime,
surprise you.
Yeah, well, better call first.
Right.
Okay. Well...
Leave you to it.
Goodbye, Dad.
Bye, Chris.
Bye.
Ah...
F***!
Sh*t.
Oh.
God damn.
Oh, sh*t.
Ah, sh*t.
[Park braking]
(Emil)
You got engine trouble?
Long way from home, aren't you?
Well, that is the whole idea.
I am on sabbatical
for my health.
Yeah, well,
good luck on that.
May I take a look?
I got it covered, thanks.
It's no trouble.
I just have
to tow it into town.
But that is
30, 40 miles, no?
Please allow me.
I drove hack in London for seven years
and I had no choice but to become
expert on British automobiles.
Really, I don't need any help.
Thank you.
Okay. Okay.
Hey.
Sir.
I just...
I get this shooting pain in my leg.
Comes and goes.
Always puts me in a bad mood.
Try it.
[Engine sputtering]
Ah, you got to be kidding me.
God damn it!
[Honking] Patience.
I don't want to have
to do the same for you.
Well, I should've
just towed it in.
Okay, once more,
if you please.
[Engine starting]
Yeah.
Ah.
Well...
You're a miracle worker.
Thank you.
Body of Christ visited
in the filter housing.
I don't like American cars,
very finicky.
You have to be extremely vigilant about maintenance.
You have to listen
to every little thing.
The shooting pain in my leg is just killing me.
I just got to get-- Okay.
My sermon is over.
Drug store will be closed
if I don't head out soon.
Appreciate the help, mister?
Emil Kovac.
Ben.
Benjamin Ford.
Take it easy.
You, too.
Take it easy.
You sure you're all right out here?
Where I come from,
this is a walk in the park. Where is that?
I'm sure you would not
have heard of this place.
I'm--
just leave it at that.
Try me.
Small village, Lukomir.
Oh, yeah, Bosnia.
I was stationed in Bradina.
Yeah. Well, then,
we are brothers.
I don't know about that.
I mean in arms.
Let me shake your hand again.
Yeah, small world.
I have kept you long.
That's okay.
The clock is ticking.
It's too dangerous to be driving anyway.
I think I'm going to head back.
I'm going to ride it out.
You're welcome
to join me if you want.
But I would hate to be bother.
I could lie to you, say it's the Christian in me
who wants you along,
but truth is if anything happens to you,
it's going to come back
and bite me in the ass.
There's a word for it.
I believe it is karma.
Few more minutes.
Winchester, no?
1873, the gun
that won the West.
Yeah, you hunter like me.
Yeah, every now and then.
I don't use that.
I use this.
Evens the odds
a little bit.
I wholeheartedly agree.
You know,
I must confess,
I did not come halfway
around the world
just for mountain air.
I came for trophy.
Oh, whitetail?
Elk. Elk, they gave you a tag,
lucky dog.
What'd you do,
pull some strings with Fish and Wildlife?
No patience. You know,
18 months ago I applied for license
for five bull.
Perhaps you come
with me tomorrow.
No, really.
The storm will be over
and the air will be clear
and maybe, who knows,
you get lucky,
you add another head
to your collection.
Well, what are you using?
I use this.
I'll show you.
Here.
Jesus Christ, buddy.
You fight
in the Indian Wars?
No, this is the same bow
I used as a boy.
You know, it's, gets
Not jerky like yours.
Well, mine won't snap.
Any bow can snap.
That's fiberglass.
I worked with fiberglass
in factory.
That was after the war?
No, before the war. Old soldier like you.
But sometimes
it is difficult
to know when to leave
the battlefield, you know?
You're talking
about the fiberglass.
The tiny beer bubbles
find their way into the malt
during
the manufacturing process.
And then each time
you pull the string back,
the fiberglass
weakens bit by bit.
One day, you are tracking
your quarry through the grass,
and the rocks, and the mud,
and the rain, and the snow,
and finally
you see your prize bull
right in the sights
and snap!
It breaks.
You're a weird duck.
Hmm.
What is this photographer?
Oh, I did those.
Really?
You're a photographer?
Yeah.
What is this one?
Well, that's the old church up in God's Peak.
God's Peak.
Hmm.
Reminds me of home.
Oh, no, please, I'm fine.
Oh, you got to try it.
I have more than I need,
and it doesn't keep real well.
Or not.
It's a free country.
Okay.
If you insist.
This is good.
Good, huh? Told you.
It's delicious.
Oh. It almost
slipped my mind.
I have something
to return the favor.
