Triage Page #5

to leave it, you know?

Yeah, well, that happens

out there, man.

I deal with it out there.

And then, I'm here.

Separate worlds.

You know, separate.

Why, you don't believe me?

No.

It doesn't affect me, lvan.

Look me in the eye and tell me that.

It doesn't affect me.

Well, that's the saddest thing

I've ever heard, son.

Ivan, I just came in

to get the f***ing films done.

I didn't come in for a lecture, man.

All right, all right.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

It's none of my business, I know.

I just think of you as a friend,

that's all.

Fair enough.

Okay, so, 5:
00?

Yeah. Bill me. Thanks.

Okay.

Give us a pint, Kevin, will ya?

Please.

Cheers, Kevin.

Hey. Stretching.

You've already started

going through them.

- Yeah.

- How are they?

- Good. Got some good ones.

- Show me.

No, not now.

I'll show you later...

Missy.

Hey, I missed you today.

I missed you, too.

There you are.

David!

Elena?

I'm sorry I'm late.

I had a starter.

I had to feed the beast.

If I don't eat on time,

it gets really angry.

It moved! Did you feel it?

Of course you did.

How are you?

Yeah, all right.

Except I have to pee

every five minutes.

Any word from David, hmm?

I know it's his job,

and there's a war on,

and it's a primitive place,

but surely he could get

a message out to me somehow.

Or maybe not.

If the phone lines have been cut...

Well, forget a message.

I want him.

He does this to me

and then fucks off to Kurdistan.

Yeah.

Hey, what if I send a cable

to the Kurdish refugee camp?

I know some people working there.

I can have them

at least ask around, no?

Oh, I don't know.

The idea of some Red Cross guy

running up to him,

telling him he has to call his wife,

he'd get pissed off.

So what?

You know what, you're right.

Okay. Let's do it.

Mark!

- How are you?

- Good.

You look like shite!

Thanks.

- What happened?

- Oh, you know.

So, good trip?

I think so, yeah. You tell me.

Give!

It's a Pesh Merga ambush

of an Iraqi convoy.

They killed 19 troops

and took out a transportation truck.

Yeah.

Too bad Life magazine

only does pap these days,

but I'll run these past them anyway.

We should be able to find

something on the continent.

Hear there's a lot of Kurds

in Germany, right?

Or do I mean Turks?

You mean both, Amy.

Kurds and Turks.

Yeah, okay. I'll try Stern.

What else?

"Triage."

Working title.

- For what?

- Um...

Makeshift hospital in the field.

Soldiers that came in

that were too gravely wounded,

they took them outside

and killed them.

Killed?

By?

Their own doctor.

Fellow Kurd.

You can see him in the shots.

Jesus Christ!

Mercy killings.

Well, that is an incredible

piece of work, Mark.
