Original subtitles

The children salute Fran ois, the chauffeur.

Hello!

Hello, Louise.

Your brother is still sick?

You speak!

He is not sick.

He sticks the thermometer to a lamp and mom sees nothing.

But who goes to school, will become a doctor or astronaut,

unlike the darling!

That's it.

(Somali) Hello, Zyed. How's it going?

Well. And you, Miss Jane?

- Very good. - Good day, Zyed.

Noisy and cheerful atmosphere

- Hello, French. - Hi, Bernard!

- It's Bernard the fox! - Hi, Gary.

BERNARD THE FOX!

(English) Do not move or pull.

It's understood? It's understood?

We do not move anymore!

We are silent!

Somali border, right away.

Gary!

Gary!

A matryess is doing the lesson right next to it.

- How much do you miss? - Four. And you?

All.

I arrive.

Are we not going to school?

The farm!

Listen to me!

You all sit!

I want more than one sound!

If not...

If you slow down, you're dead.

You understood? Accelerate now!

The bus accelerates.

Do not let them pass you!

Accelerates!

Accelerates!

Close the border!

Reu. The harrow!

French is trying to restart the engine.

The man shouts.

- No ... No, no, idiots! - Do not close the border!

Arise.

Do not waste my time.

Come.

Children!

- Do you see these soldiers? - You'll tell them to leave.

- It's understood? - OKAY.

Go ahead.

- Stop yourself! - Stop yourself!

Do not shoot!

- Its good? - She nods.

- Gently, dear. - It hurts!

Show me. I'll tell you that.

- What did they do? - What?

Well ...

- they were wrong on the side! - Whatever!

I never had appendicitis.

So, you're still a child.

- Exactly. - It's over, yes?

I am a child?

Mr. Gerval! Phone.

- Here. - Thank you.

Thank you. I listen?

Very good. Thank you.

Pierre, it's Andr . R unis Lorca, Camp re and Larrain.

I'll call you back. everything '.

Twenty-one children held by some terrorists

in a bus between France and Somalia.

Claims?

Immediate departure from France, liberation of policies.

Nothing new and nothing acceptable.

There are three American children and the Yankees are putting pressure.

They sent a military advisor to force our hand.

I had General Favrart who commands there.

The region will deploy, but surely without intervening.

- Why? - They are kids from their base.

Understandable.

And what would they do?

Go to the machine gun? These situations are not their strong.

The president's advisors are done on it.

She sighs.

We negotiate, we are weakening in the region.

We intervene, we have children dead to one.

- Potentially under our bullets. - So?

- You travel in civilians. - Regular flight to Cairo.

You join a troop transport

and you wait for orders.

Will have to show how your special unit is special.

Very good. Michelle!

- And the American advisor? - You're dying.

Do not forget, you're in the service of the Republic.

And the Republic is us!

H!

Did you see?

She can say yes?

We are in civilian clothes and I had it on me.

I had dinner with Cecile.

She can say yes or no?

- We've been together for five years. - Lorca.

I'm not afraid she's saying no, but she says yes by ...

Lorca! Boyfriend, it's not my job.

Hey, look.

I cut it with an old coat. Strapless ...

you make a point there.

- Arms, it's an alibi. - His passion,

it's the seam. It does not fit with age.

- A problem with my age? - Not at all!

What will you do with everything? behind an office?

I'll give it to your wife.

I do not have. But you will be my bridesmaid.

- Yeah ... - George!

What is it?

It's to make me beautiful for you.

Well, well, add hair dryer.

Campre!

Have you ever been to Africa?

When I was called.

And how is it?

Hot!

But how is Djibouti?

It's very hot!

- Commanding officer! - Hello, Captain.

I only come to have the information.

- All the weapons are in the hold. - But my plane is full.

How is that?

Passengers.

I have more room, me.

He laughs softly.

Listen, asshole, let us go or you break both legs.

Including? Or we smoke you.

Airplane thrill

Captain! Captain,

- I volunteer. - Voluntary?

What are you doing there?

I am the teacher.

- I want to join them. - Join the parents in town.

I have enough trouble like that.

It's the children who need me.

- They are alone! - I was clear!

Nobody will approach

of this bus!

You release!

Dgagez.

Madam, come back! Shit.

Come back!

Captain.

My general.

What is it?

The teacher of children.

Ben, bravo!

We went to 22 hostages.

Bus door that opens, order given in English.

- It's Miss Jane. - She's coming for us.

(English) Stop right now!

Go back there right now.

- I am the mother of children. - I just want to see them.

I am American, not French.

Amricaine?

He appreciates.

We do not need you, ma tresse.

The children are fine. Now,

go away!

For now maybe, but not for long.

You will need help to take care of it.

The driver is no longer there. I can help you.

If the French want

save the children, everything will be fine.

They prepare themselves.

Believe me, you will need me.

Tell me what they do, then.

They brought the region.

Is it okay?

The children ...

everything will be alright. I am here. Okay?

So who is hungry?

Who wants to pee?

Let's see what sauce

we will be eating.

Rob Shafer.

Captain Gerval.

Is it you, the counselor?

Take it easy. I am an observer, that's all.

Good French.

I did Indochina.

Vietnam?

You speak American!

I understand. From there, speak it.

- I'll teach you. - Pierre!

We're eating!

Whore!

- It's France, l? - It looks like Nanterre.

Whore! Sir?

Sir!

Excuse me.

Your holster, it's a real?

I mean, it's the same that Clint Eastwood?

The others are laughing.

I can see him?

- Me too, I have one. - We choose

George to be informed

the latest modes.

I thought that there was only one criterion of selection.

Do not worry for my marksmanship results.

Thank you.

We were chosen for the same reason. Why did you accept?

- For hair. - I did not have to cut them anymore.

It's beautiful, the youth.

And you, why?

- I had no choice. - The genie was going to fire me.

Georges here has wanted prove he could

put a pomegranate under a tank

with a remote control car.

I planted myself a little.

You blew up the ammunition deposition!

Half of the deposit!

An anti-tank grenade under a tank,

George!

Okay, that's okay. It's okay!

Why did you accept?

We did our classes together.

- Watch out! - He is there by conviction.

And Larrain?

Because it's the best.

- Bernard? - What happened?

Show me.

Ae! Ae!

I did not do anything, ma'am.

I was asking

- if we went to school. - Ok, Bernard.

We'll have to take care of that.

- But I take care of it. Okay? - Okay.

- You're not cold? - No, that's fine, ma'am.

Try to rest.

It's okay, okay? It's going to go.

What is it, ma tresse?

Who hit the kid? He is hurt.

It must be treated or it will become infected.

- Let him go. - God willing, it will go.

No, it will not go!

It will not change anything that it goes away.

What if I killed him right away?

It would be easier.

I doubt that the region appreciates.

Go inside, ma'tresse.

Whore! Poor kids.

Is it you, the cavalry?

I had been promised

the elite of the gendarmerie. Well then!

It promises!

Who is Captain Gerval?

It's me, my general.

Find them neighborhoods.

You are the son

Colonel Gerval's 11th shock?

How is he?

He died last year.

Are you the cowboy of the CIA?

Ben, you do not have the diplomat's physique. Come.

He is not wrong.

What are these horns?

- I have to go. - Are you already bored?

In recognition.

- I have to find a shooting position. - Calm down!

We can not see anything.

If that's okay, it would be better that we are in place. In case.

We do not have orders from Paris yet.

The children sleep, nothing will happen.

Good.

- The kidnappers? - Rahmani!

Four heavily armed individuals.

All rebels

who want the attachment Somalia.

No ultimatum?

Tomorrow at dusk, they are executing the children.

There is movement.

What is this mess?

Where's that con?

Shafer, you knew that Somalia host terrorists?

Of course. But it's not for the same reason.

Call Paris. Gerval,

make your gratitude, but away.

Of course.

Rahmani, follow him.

- I'm borrowing it. - Mollo, I love my ...

jacket.

The fixing rail in optics sometimes moves.

Whore! It has condensed!

Tell us about it.

Hold on.

I knew it would serve.

The gear will hold with this heat?

- It's not the gear, the problem. - It will be us.

Why does not it work, this thing?

Pierre, what do you think?

- That's great. - How much do they make, their blades?

- 20 centimeters? - 22.

It's regulation.

- It's not about precision shooting. - This is the region.

Yeah, we do not do the same thing.

You are fools.

He's weird, though.

Do you know the hammer game?

It's two games. Each drives a nail a little

in a table. You tie a head scarf ...

and the first who has sunk the nail has won.

With the head?

- No, with your cock. - Of course!

This is the favorite game of these guys.

- Jean-Luc? - He's making friends.

Larrain! Lorca ...

take your rifles and come.

I'm going in recognition.

Post on a roof on the cover.

How old were you when you went up in a bus like a?

I had to be 12 years old to break everything.

You did not care, you.

You're not one to have kids.

Do you know what's your name?

The machine.

I know you're the best, but damn, make an effort.

You know nothing, Lorca.

You're just a mouth who speaks wrongly and wrongly.

You would shoot a hundred times better if you stopped talking.

- That is what I am saying. - You do not care.

- These same, nothing to fuck. - We do not care, the same.

We do not care?

The victims, it's for psychics and politics.

But only if you did your job.

Touch your target.

That's your problem.

You have no others.

I have three children.

If you say so, I'll gag you.

Damn, there's nowhere to hide!

We are too close!

Gerval!

Shit!

What is he doing?

He wants to settle all alone?

They arm.

(Somali) Morad, it's good.

They will help us.

The bus door opens.

- You want to hold my skirt or what? - I will not run away.

You can turn around?

Mrs?

It's nothing!

It was just a snake! I'm fine...

I arrive.

I hate snakes.

Oh fuck!

You see, ma'tresse, we have friends.

Oh! Oh, who turned on those whores

of projectors?

Tie them!

Who are you?

Gendarmerie of Paris.

Ah! The stars of the metropolis.

He's laughing.

You are afraid of the dark, then we turn on.

We are on the same side.

- I do not think so. - The old fags ...

Big pile, you sucked too many goats in the desert.

Oh yeah?

You stop, soldier!

I am a lieutenant!

And your barrettes, gendarmette?

Yeah, we're in plain clothes.

I may be a fag, but not old!

He does not like it too much

- the legionaries. - What is that?

He told her about his age.

Ah yes!

OKAY.

What is it?

Change your tone immediately.

What's that, General?

Field diplomacy.

They light? We turn on.

I could have got off. Thank you.

So, your ride?

The terrain is not obvious.

I found a location. It's not the ideal.

Where's your boyfriend?

The hippie of the CIA.

Follow me. Firmin!

Bring Shafer, even if he is at the toilet.

What's your thing?

A simultaneous shooting.

- A what? - Five synchronized rifles.

A single statement.

If they fall at the same time, no one responds.

Bravo!

- It's feasible, a? - Well trained, yes.

You tried outside of training?

Yes, my general.

- So what? - On mission, once.

Did it work?

- Not perfectly. - Well then!

It's reassuring. What do you think?

I would love to see that.

If Somalia commits?

We will need you.

It will be a bloodbath with the children.

You have better, general?

Leave us, Shafer.

Do you believe your bullshit?

Of course!

My unit was created to intervene without killing.

Well, not in our camp.

what are you doing in Somalia, ma tresse?

It's a long story and I do not tell it to strangers.

You like French people.

I do not care about French people. There is no than the children that interest me.

White children?

It does not matter the color.

You know, it's not a place for a nice girl like you.

You should find a good husband with whom to make children.

Maybe I was married.

Maybe even I had children.

Maybe they are dead in a plane crash.

Or that they are at home and they are waiting for me.

Maybe I like living in holes paum s.

Or maybe everything ,a, they are bullshit.

Today,

my life is here with these children.

And I will do the right thing to protect them.

I was a teacher too.

Long ago.

I want to protect children too.

The children of my country.

For one day they are free.

You want some khat?

(Somali) You're wasting your time.

We'd better kill her

- now. - Morad ...

Always so press .

We'll get rid of it when we evacuate

children to Somalia.

I will let you even take care of it since it's so important to you.

You're wasting your time, I'm telling you.

Have you ever shot to kill?

I thought that the life of a forcen worth a hostage.

"Commit to life", it's our motto.

We are not looking who is wrong and who is right.

They took children hostage.

You should not even ask yourself the question.

You did not answer mine.

Two times.

I took down two guys.

It wakes me up again at night. Not always,

but uh ... here.

Either you accept a,

either you go away. Or do like Larrain.

And for you, a target is a target, alive or in paper.

And you become an asshole.

Pierre, please.

Okay, that's how it's going to be.

Gathering 5 h.

The terrain: French, Somalia, bus.

That's our shooting position.

Gerval explains the positions.

Captain!

Paris online.

Position yourself and do not engage only if there is only one terrorist on board.

* We're not going to hurt a child!

- I do not understand the order. - The hostage takers are four.

It is unthinkable that three are moving away.

* There is a risk that they will evacuate children and we'll never see them again.

Diplomacy will find a solution.

"Will find"? They are in front of us!

* You talk about fucking diplomacy despite these kids?

Stop the hysteria!

To negotiate ...

Madam, I noticed movements suspects from the Somali coast.

- You annoy me! - If I want to talk,

* I have a bridge club.

You have your orders, that's all.

Whore! Hot weather.

You have not seen anything yet.

We need talc.

For Lorca's ass?

In position.

Let's see what that gives.

Larrain, you take orange shirt.

Camp're, you have mustache.

Pierre, you take Bob Marley.

Lorca, the chef.

I take the shot report.

Pass the code.

One, ready.

Two, ready.

Three, ready.

No!

We start again.

One, ready.

Two, ready.

Three, ready.

Four, ready.

Gu pe Mother Queen.

Here, Mother Queen, you.

* The shot is cleared.

Four targets. Request permission to engage.

The order has not been changed.

* Termin.

- Andr ! - Yeah?

- What are we waiting for? - What is the exact order?

Rest.

We only shoot if there is as a hostage taker on the bus.

What?

- What is that? - Your serious?

We are five!

I said "for now".

Diplomacy works.

Are we waiting for Giscard and petits fours?

We are waiting for the order.

If we could wait by a pool, I ...

Do not tell me about it!

In position! We take the code.

Whore! We go back like in a mill in this bus.

That's funny!

That's what Cazeneuve said of your fianc e.

He's laughing.

- Do not listen. - It's not made for the sun.

- He's unlocking. - Pass the code.

- Are you talking about my fiancee? - Hush, hush.

One, ready.

Two, ready.

No.

These kids

move too much!

We take back.

* - Queen Mother Gu pe.

Here, Gu pe.

* - The refueling of the bus goes down. Rest, finished.

Reu. Termin.

Rest! Larrain, stay in observation.

- Captain! - Yeah?

2 am, captain.

- Gu pe Mother Queen. - I'm listening. you.

It's moving, Somali side.

* - Can you specify?

At least one assault section and two MG-42s.

60 customs officers, it's a lot for a small job.

* - For Paris, nothing suspicious

of the Somali coast.

- Well, if Paris says it ... - Understood, finished.

Pet Camp re!

Sorry.

No!

- It's okay, it's the heat. - I have fragile sphincters, me.

Whore!

Georges, shit!

Quick quick.

You let children go?

Make things easy.

Do not worry of what is simple here, the Arab.

So, tell with whom we can negotiate.

Negotiate?

There is nothing to negotiate.

That's what you did in Algeria?

Negotiate?

- Let him take the injured child. - The farm, ma tresse!

A hurt?

Give us back the girl!

Give it back to us!

- Drop a. - Do not force me to shoot.

- Drop a. - Pushes you!

Captain, we have a problem.

In position. Immediately!

Gu pe Mother Queen.

* - Here Mother Queen. -Rahmani has a small one.

They hold them to the test.

Do not force me to shoot!

- Please! - Drop your weapon.

I see only three.

The same.

On the other side of the bus at the front.

The little one blocks me.

- Can you hire? - * -Negative.

Too much movement.

Drop a.

Please!

- Let them go! - Show good faith, Barkad.

(Somali)

- The farm! - Do not let him go, Barkad.

Do not worry.

- I know what I have to do! - Drop a!

What are you waiting for?

- * Go ahead, Gerval! -Close your mouth, you.

- Camp? - I got it.

Cazeneuve?

The institute is very close.

Only if it's clean.

- Not one more step! - Drop your weapon.

Children, lie down

and close your eyes! Now!

The farm, I said!

Not one more step.

Drop a.

There is no good faith here,

mistress.

Andr! Andr , what are we doing?

- Put down your weapons. - They drank it!

Put your weapons!

It was not enough, Lorca?

You want a carnage?

We come to save the children, not play the heroes!

We will intervene, but in our way.

It's understood?

There was a chance to save him.

There was mostly a chance to also lose the instit

and start a butchery.

- It could have gone wrong. - I do not want a child on my conscience.

A dead policeman,

You do not care? It could have been you or me.

It's the little girl who jumped on her.

Shut up, Lorca.

He could fire her and put it with others.

Do not take yourself for a social worker.

I want to go home.

Shut up!

The boy's injury has gotten worse.

Let me go what to care for him.

You never give up.

You do not have an idea ...

(Somali) Happy to see you. Everything is ready?

The bus is coming soon.

We will evacuate at nightfall,

it's safer.

Go ahead.

Let me take the boy.

You're welcome.

Andr , we're not going to be quite a few, there.

- It seems like. - Hey guys!

You, I do not know. But I would be good foam.

George!

What?

Shut your mouth.

- Rest, guys. - Lorca, you come with me.

Peter, take the command.

I'm not doing anything right now.

Five shooters.

No, not more.

Write to the Rahmani family.

One of the gendarmes was shot.

- For Rahmani ... - Drop.

You could not do anything. I was wrong.

Go get some supplies for his men.

Lorca, give a hand.

My men are not going anymore

hold on for a long time You'll have to make a decision.

Fall back.

Sorry?

Gather your men.

If Paris had wanted a shot, he would have given the order.

It's clear: only one terrorist on board.

I do not understand, there.

You are figuring for your boyfriend who is not fooled,

the time that our narchs know who to pay.

These guys want no money, but their country.

The general sneers.

Nobody is selling!

You saw Rahmani!

The kids are the next ones and you know it.

How much will you hold?

Three or four hours.

Very good.

When we shoot, they will not be able to react.

They will understand nothing. Children will come on foot,

we will cover them.

This is your plan?

- Yes. - Good!

If Paris finds faith, I go back to the orders.

The lighter does not light.

I miss a shooter.

Sorry?

You did Vietnam, you know how to shoot.

Officially ... I'm not even here.

It's too easy, old man.

You want me to go? So, get your hands dirty.

Nobody will know.

Should contact the bus.

- That is to say? - Briefer instit.

You want to talk to me?

After the policeman, he expects That the region land.

They want to calm the game

- Hold. - Thank you.

She drinks loudly.

- Is it better? - Yes thanks.

Apart from assault rifles, Did you see other weapons?

Yes, the leader has a gun.

OKAY.

Explosives?

Grenades. One or two

by man.

They are tired, in need of khat and very aggressive.

They are waiting for the sunset to evacuate children to Somalia.

Good! Well, I'm going to call Paris, me.

We must act quickly.

The children will not stay long.

By the way,

who are you?

- We're coming out of there. - You will come out in rank two by two.

How? We are going to leave in rows two by two?

Yes.

I knew the arrogant French, but not suicidal.

We have two sections

of the region if it went wrong. It should be enough.

Let the children stand quiet.

And avoid the line of fire.

They are between six and twelve years old, captain.

It's hot, they are kept by crazy people.

Hmm?

I can not do a miracle.

Except by drugging them, maybe.

It can be arranged.

Ma'am.

Lorca!

We will have to lots of sleeping pills.

Gerval continues to explain.

Thank you.

Damn, I'm hungry!

I am thirsty!

- George? - Yes?

My neighbor is gone in a retirement home.

The appart is good. Come see him.

Stop with a!

Why would I leave Mom?

I am well. I can do

my bazaar, I have no rent.

She's great, Mireille.

If I leave, how does she do? And how do I do it?

Lieutenant, you should see that.

2 hours in the jeep at the bottom.

What's this bullshit?

You came back, mistress. It's good.

I say what I do and I do what I say.

Children!

Each a bottle. It is very hot.

When it is warm, we drink a lot of water.

Sigh of pleasure

I have never eaten such good sardines. Sardines?

Thank you, we say.

Or, we make a small smile.

In the jeep.

Shit!

- I watched him. - He may not be ordering,

but he gives a lot of orders.

Psst! Shafer!

Go eat a piece. Tell men to prepare themselves.

In the jeep 2 h.

And shit!

You knew?

Paris knows it?

No, we were not sure.

What's this? GRU, KGB?

Rather KGB.

He slams his tongue.

I will not do it in your place.

You will have a more order,

but a ban.

Andr,

safe...

I know how to shoot. Of course, but ...

your thing simultaneously, I'm not trained for that.

It's simple.

There are up to three.

Sorry?

- Each shooter gives his number. - You will be the 5th.

I indicate a target. If it's okay, say, "Five, ready."

I am the last. If my target is clear,

I say zoe. There are up to three in our head,

and we shoot.

Shafer laughs.

That's the thing? Count to three?

Voil.

Why "z ro" and not "fire"?

"Fire" is stressful.

In position! Shafer, on my left.

Larrain, you take the giant.

Shafer, you take

the orange shirt.

Prepare to.

Pass the code.

One, ready.

Two, ready.

Three, ready.

No no.

We take back!

One, ready.

African slow rhythm

He speaks in Somali.

He sighs.

Dad?

Gu pe Mother Queen.

* - I listen. you.

- They are preparing to evacuate the children. - A man has left

the bus is the moment.

* - Ngatif. No more than one terrorist in the bus.

- I'll be clearer. - The night will fall, my men too.

We will never see the children again. Do you understand that?

* - Ngatif. Somalis have been clear.

Any attempt will be an act of war.

OKAY.

Rest!

He catches their attention.

Larrain!

Good...

we will not have an order from the lys e and the children will disappear.

Either we fold now and we go home ...

either we save these children.

Do you want to take the shot?

The question is simple.

But you, you want do what, captain?

It's up to you to decide, not me.

Understand that without a presidential order ...

we risk big.

All.

Gu pe Mother Queen. * -Here, Mother Queen.

- Be ready. - Put your sections on alert.

What did he say?

That we could go there.

- It will not go without order! - Do you think so?

Pass the code.

One, ready.

Two, ready.

Three, ready.

Four...

ready!

Five...

ready!

Zero.

General confusion

What are we doing?

We wait. They do not know where we are.

They just heard a shot.

Get up! Get up!

We wake up! Come on!

Come on, wake up!

Come on, we wake up!

We get up! We get up!

Wake up, children!

He yells.

- What happened? - What did you do?

Please!

- I beg you! - What did you do?

Glass breakage and burst

Come on, let's get up! We get up!

Quick!

Get up fast, fast!

Whore!

They know where we are now!

Captain, the region is waiting that we are all dead?

No, give them Example!

Larrain, only what holds a weapon!

Charger!

Charger!

Captain, Captain!

Must go now!

Georges, Pierre!

Follow him!

We cover you!

Shafer, go for it!

I come again!

On the side of the diplomats,

you have the assurance of neutrality. But on the spot,

if a decision is not made,

there will be no more neither children nor gendarmes.

I'm waiting.

Drop your weapon.

- Are you alone? - No.

- Are you three? - Ma'am,

It's going to go.
