We have some people here

who are embassy workers.

And the third group will do food.

Okay good, that's great.

We have all agreed that we shall only

have one meal a day. That's at 4 o'clock.

So we need a steady food supply and something to measure

the right food. Can you find these things for us, please?

Sure. I can ask father Christopher.

- Thank you.

- Okay.

Hi.

Listen, they're doing a really good job outside, organizing

themselves, but they're gonna need some stuff from us.

Fine. I'll see to that after Mass.

The Mass?

I am priest in a catholic country, Joe.

This is what I do.

It's in the job description.

Yeah, sure.

Do you think it's the best time for that?

Time's a stress, people need to commune with God.

I think maybe they'll prefer some food.

Water, just put a reassurance.

Well, come to Mass.

Get all free on the same ticket.

It's been a 10th night here

in Rwandan capital Kigali.

The normally bustling streets

are now completely deserted.

Except for angry soldiers,

loyal to the former president.

...and shooting bodies is becoming common.

Militias with machetes and clubs rule the streets.

And what appears to have been a deliberate plan to

massacre Tutsis. Thousands have now been executed.

- Councilor.

- Father Christopher.

These are difficult times,

such uncertainties.

Please, be careful.

Tutsis have spies everywhere.

Some might even be in your school.

I appreciate your concern

for our welfare, councilor.

Of course the welfare of

our citizens is paramount.

Well, you could deal some blankets,

a fuel for the generator - that sort of thing.

Perhaps tomorrow, my superior

colonel Bugesera has asked...

He has asked me to ask you, perhaps

have a small word with your Belgian guests.

My government is uncomfortable with the idea of

United Nation soldiers guarding those poor people in your school.

We would prefer Rwandans protecting Rwandans.

Well, I'm not sure that it is my position

to talk to the capitaine about that.

Of course you know him better than I.

Though I'm sure he will listen to you.

His mind must be on those missing men.

What missing men?

Ten Belgian UN soldiers.

What?

They were kidnapped while

guarding our Prime Minister.

A terrible business, terrible.

Well, I'll see what I can do.

Thank you.

That would be very nice.

Yes it's true. The detachment of 10 soldiers

were protecting the prime minister.

He said they were kidnapped.

It's possible. We don't know where they are.

So what happened to the prime minister?

She's dead. Murdered.

Look, it might sound weird, right.

But what about this.

We could call a bishop and get him to come to this school,
