- You know that it's not the way you should ask for an asylum.

You should stay there.

You can stay there and ask for an asylum.

This is not the way.

- No one can stay in Somalia. It's very dangerous.

You have al-shabaab,

you have bombs, killing people, you know?

- Yes. - It's very dangerous.

- I understand, but I cannot make any decisions.

I just process you and let's see what happens.

So, I need your fingerprints, please.

We don't have much space,

so soon you will all be transferred

to a bigger camp here or even to Germany, okay?

- Yeah, yeah.

Am I gonna get a political asylum?

- This is... I'm not the one who can decide.

[camera shutter flashing]

Okay.

We will get you into the system,

but you have to prove

that you get persecuted in your home country.

Yes, we're friends.

We're old friends.

No tears.

And we'll go walk normal.

We'll just walk.

We'll be natural.

It's so good to see you again [laughs].

I haven't seen you for so long.

Hey, we'll go there.

It's a little damp.

I'll see if I can find you clothes.

- Thank you.

[music continues]

[Selena breathing heavily]

[water splashing] [all chattering]

[phone ringing]

How are you?

- I'm okay.

I can pick you up in one hour when my shift is over.

He can pick me up in one hour.

- Okay.

Hello?

What's his name?

- Oumar. - Oumar.

Hello.

We're at the Hotel Villari

and there is a delivery entrance and it's by the bushes,

so we'll meet you there.

Okay.

One hour? Okay.

[phone beeps]

Okay. - Thank you.

[Selena chuckles]

- Whew!

[both laughing]

You know what I'll do?

I'm gonna go for a walk,

get myself some smokes,

and I'll be back in 50 minutes.

- Okay.

- All right?

- They're almost here.

Hey, hey, hey.

- Good luck.

- Hey, what do you mean good luck?

You need to meet my friends. They're going to help you.

- I don't want to meet your friends, okay?

I want to start a new life.

I want to bring my family here.

What happened on the boat was enough.

- Listen to me.

If you come with me,

they will help you and they'll bring your family.

- There they are. - Look, they're here.

Let's go. Come on, come on.

- Hey, here you are.

Do you need a lift or you want to continue

with your stroll in the forest?

- Come on, come on.

- Who is this guy?

[pensive music]

[engine rumbling]

The boss was looking for you.

[Bruna laughs]

[light music playing]

- What time you going to the bank?

- Two o'clock.

It's gonna be okay, Dad.

I promise.

I got this.

- Can I have something for my digestion?

- [worker speaking in Italian] - Please.

Yeah.

- Hey.

Hey, love.

- Oh, shit, look who just walked in.

- Mr. Mayor, what an honor.

- Yeah, right.

Thank you.

- [Matt] How are you doing?

- Good, how are you?

- Good, thank you.

- Hey, behave yourself.

[newspaper rustles]

- Just curious,

are you aware there was another boat

that came in this morning?

- Really? You think I don't know. Really?

- Maybe he just don't care 'cause he's gettin' paid

no matter how shitty the situation is.

- All he cares about is getting reelected.

He doesn't care that half the town is going bankrupt

'cause nobody wants to come here anymore.

- Hey guys, it's a national problem, all right?

Yeah, they have to do something.

I can't really do much.

- Ah, come on.

You know, and we know they're not gonna do anything.

They say they stopping them on the other side.

But surprise, surprise,

they're gettin' on another boat, right?

Every night and everywhere

because there's money to be made and people are stupid.

So, you make 'em think

that they're better off here as in Senegal.

- Yeah.

- Or whatever shit hole country they come from.

So they spend their last money,

they come here and it's gettin' worse and worse and worse

and worse for the last 15 years,

and then you spend all that money then tryin'

to catch them and save them and house them and feed them

and you send 'em out and the ones

you do get out come right back in.

- Yes, because their countries

are actually more fucked up than ours.

- That lube of shit that has...

It's to no one's good.

- What should we do, genius? Shoot them all?

- Yes. - Stop.

- Yes. - Shut up.

- They rob, they steal, they rape.

They bring drugs into this country.

- Eddie, look- - Nobody wants

to come here anymore.

I put every fucking dollar I got into my business

and I'm gonna lose it all.

- You know, it's a good thing we are not murderers.

[Eddie sighs]

And you know what's also good? - Come on, man.

- That people like you are not in charge.

Have a good day, fellas.

- Maybe I should run for mayor, huh?

I'd have this town straightened out in six months.

- Oh, you wanna run for mayor?

Can I see your passport?

Hm?

I mean, from what I remember, you're not Italian,

so why don't you just go back to your homeland

and enjoy free healthcare

in the greatest country in the world, huh?

Moron.

- The nerve on that dude, man.

He's bringin' business to this town, huh?

It's the mayor. Who?

- Doesn't anybody care about this town?

It's goin' to hell.

How do you feel about this as an outsider seeing

what the hell's going on here?

- I'll tell you how I feel.

I think it's gonna get worse and worse

and worse and worse and worse.

The desperation from every corner,

it's going to explode across the planet everywhere.

But you know what I really think about?

What would it be like if I was one of them trying

to, to realize a dream, a hope or anything,

or running from a war or hunger which America caused,

or some other nation like America created

in the first place.

Would I make it? Would I make it?

You know, all the horror that they go through on the first leg

before they even come to these shores and drown by the-

- [Eddie] Let me tell you something.

I was in the military for 30 years.

Africa, Mideast, Sudan.

I'll tell you this much.

Without borders, without real immigration laws-

- Yeah. - A country is not a country.

- No, no, no because I think this

is the reason why we're in the mess that we are today.

But you having been in the military

know even better than me

what we did to other countries like Africa.

- Oh for Christ's sake. - Come on.

- You don't know what you're talkin' about.

- The fuckin' CIA. - You don't know.

- [Anna] You know how they do. - [Matt] Well, you're talking

about 200 years ago.

- No. - This is today.

- Today. - It's today.

- This is the reverberation... - [Matt] Oh no.

- From, not 200 years ago. - No, no.

- [Anna] When I was a child we were doing this.

- [Matt] You're not 200 years old.

- Yeah, here you've got one hand very casually.

We say, here.

Give us oil, give us your diamonds,

give us whatever we need.

Or with the other hand,

we'll just assassinate you.

And prop up somebody who will do our bidding.

You know what I mean?

- I know what you mean.

It doesn't solve the problems that we have now

'cause there's fuck all goin' on in this town,

and we're losin' our business.

Everybody's losing everything.

- Hi. - We gotta go, Dad.

- Yeah.

Yeah. I gotta go.

- But I understand your situation.

- [Eddie] I don't think you do, lady.

- [Matt] Nice meeting you, lady.

[pensive music]

- Okay, so just stay calm.

Stay calm.

Breathe, breathe.

Everything's gonna be okay.

- No, you won't. She has to come with me.

Just take it.

- Do you know what this is?

- Yes.

- It's called a bribe.

This is criminal. This is a crime.

- No. - Yes.

No.

It's a donation for all the beautiful work the police do.

- Ah, okay.

You give me 2,000 euros and you get your friend back.

- 2,000? - Yes.

I have it in a bank and I'll go

'cause I'm seeing you again.

I'll be seeing you.

[pensive music]

Oumar!

What did he say?

- Where were you?

- I just got off.

I just watched the whole thing.

He said get 2,000 euro and then he'll release her.

- Yes, I can handle it.

- Okay.

You can do that? - Yes.

I have to go to a bank but yes.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

'Kay, so keep in touch with me, please.

[line ringing]

- [Man] Hello? - Good, I got you.

Listen, I need 2,000 euros right away.

You know what to do.

- [Man] No, I don't know what to do.

Why don't you pay your bills with your credit card?

- [sighs] I need cash.

- [Man] For what?

- For what? What does it matter?

I happened to meet a beautiful man selling

his artwork on the sidewalk and I tell ya,

they're the most beautiful drawings of these horses,

and I have to have it, so it's worth it.

- [Man] Fucking horse paintings for 2k?

Anna, what the fuck?

Are you high?

- Listen, I'm not gonna argue with you.

- [Man] Fuckin' moron.

[phone beeps]

[mellow hip hop music playing] [singing in Italian]

I got a surprise for you.

You asked for one, and I bring you two.

- Abdul, you're back.

Excellent.

Who's your friend?

- I'm Idris.

- Where are you from?

- From Tulis.

I'm a good mechanic, too.

I can fix cars, boats, motorcycles, whatever-

[Abdul coughs]

- Abdul, you didn't tell him nothing?

Idris, Idris?

- Idris, yes.

- We are not in the handyman business here.

If you work with us, you will make good money.

You are illegal.

Nobody will hire you in Italy.

So, may I pour you a drink?

- No, thank you. I don't drink alcohol.

- He's right.

It's going to be very difficult for you to find a job.

They're going to hate you.

- You know what?

I have family here.

I will call them and they will help me.

Thank you.

- No.

Abdul saved your culo.

Where's your loyalty?

You work for us now.

We take care of you.

- No, thank you.

- Should I bring him back?

- No.

Let him go.

My papa told me...

A friend that betrays you does not deserve forgiveness.

You bring me that?

Learn to choose your friends more carefully.

Don't be an idiot.

Clean yourself up.

Go.

[waves lapping]

- [Julia] Dad, come here.

I went to the bank today.

[paper rustling]

- So, did you send the wire?

- [Man] No, I didn't pay for your stupid horse paintings.

Come to your senses, Anna.

What the fuck?

- I wouldn't have even called

you if it wasn't important to me.

- [Man] Just tell 'em no cash,

and you shouldn't even be using your credit card for this shit.

What the hell?

Jesus Christ.

Are you on drugs?

[phone beeps]

- Asshole.

[light music playing]

So, you can sign this.

You give me the money and I tell my colleague,

That's what how we do it, so let's go.

- Bull crap.

Why don't I just give him the money?

- Look, I don't give a shit about Selena, okay?

There was a Selena last week, this week,

You want to see your friend?

You give me the money like arranged.

I do not give a fuck- - God!

Okay, okay.

Goddamn.

Here, take it.

- What are you doing? What are you doing?

- Oh, oh, God.

Shit.

Okay. Coach.

I have the cigarettes.

- This is only 1,000. We said two.

- But it's the stupid banks.

They have these fucking daily limits.

I can only withdraw my own money!

But I assure you that tomorrow I will get the rest for you.

So, just bring me Selena now.

Just give me Selena.

- Five minutes, okay? - Okay.

[engine rumbling]

Oh, God [laughs].

[Anna breathing heavily]

[laughing continues]

Fuck.

Why is my life like this?

I don't know. [lighter flicks]

[Anna exhales]

Papa! Papa!

Please, please!

[siren wailing]

[water splashing]

No, no, no.

No, no.

Just, just leave my son. - I want free!

[siren wailing] [anticipatory music]

Nobody's going to hurt you, it's okay.

Stupid.

[siren wailing]

[pensive music]

- Julia?

Julia?

You okay?

[Julia sniffles]

- Are you all right?

What the hell happened?

- It was an accident.

[Eddie mumbling]

[pensive music continues] [seagulls squawking]

- Oumar?

Oumar, it's fucked up.

She's not here.

I'm sorry.

Can you come?

Banca Principale.

- [Oumar] Okay.

- [sniffles] Okay.

- No, no.

I can't believe it. There was a lion chasing you?

- Uh huh, yeah, man, coming there now.

I talked to them from the other site.

- [Ismael] Wow. - [Man speaking indistinctly]

- How many people the lion eat?

- [Man] No, no. Luckily nobody was eaten

but the police almost caught up with us.

- Wow, that's scary.

Selena!

Selena?

Hey.

What? - Hello.

- [Ismael] You okay? Come in, come in.

How are you? Are you okay?

- I'm okay.

- Hey, come in. - Hello.

- These are my friends. - Hi.

- Hi. - Come sit.

- [Ismael's Friend] You're pregnant.

- [laughs] Yes, I'm pregnant.

- You just came?

- Yeah, I just got here.

- Okay. Can you please get her water?

- Welcome.

- Thank you. - Nice to see you.

- Yeah so, so tell me what happened.

- I found a lady that she was going to help me.

- Oh.

- But they still took me away from her.

- So you was hiding with the lady the whole time?

- Yeah. - Wow.

- Well, I was hiding in the bushes first.

She saved me a bit.

But then the police came.

- So what is the plan now?

Do you have a...

Do you wanna seek asylum?

- No, I don't think so.

I think I want to still try and find my brother.

- Okay, okay, that's okay, that's okay.

- Yeah. - Well, it's all right.

You can take this bed, you know?

These guys are my friends.

They're good guys, you know?

- [Selena] Okay. - Yeah, they're good guys.

I'm just gonna use this mattress.

Take this mattress.

[Selena laughs]

Oh, oh.

There.

But the food they only give out two times a day food.

- Only two?

- Yeah, so you missed the two food today.

But I can try to find some food for you.

- No, I ate enough for today.

So, yeah [chuckles]. - You ate enough for today?

Okay, yeah.

You have to wake up early for the breakfast tomorrow.

Six in the morning.

- Six?

Okay, six in the morning. - Yep.

- Eddie. - What happened here?

What happened here? - Eddie, I was not here.

It was an accident.

There's a dead boy and one of the migrants, he's dead.

But I didn't see it firsthand.

I have to take Julia in for a statement.

- You're not taking her anywhere.

- I have to take her in for a statement.

- You're not takin' her anywhere.

- Eddie, I have the press coming.

I have the state-

- I don't give a fuck what the press-

- Eddie- - You're not takin'

her anywhere.

- I have to follow the protocol and do this right now.

- Fuck protocol. You're not takin' her anywhere.

- Okay, that is how you see it.

I have to do what the law tells me to do.

She has to come in for a statement, period.

Then later, I can release her.

- Dad, it's okay. - [Matt] Happy now?

- I'll go give my statement. - [Matt] Are you happy now?

- [Julia] And I'll meet you at the boat.

- Stop! Not now, okay?

I have a pile of shit you cannot believe.

Okay, Eddie, Julia, just come with me.

Okay, okay?

- [Eddie] We want her back, you understand?

- Yes.

- [Matt] Hey, Julia, stop.

Hey, she'll want clothes.

- [Cappi] Are you okay?

[engine rumbling] [solemn music]

[waves lapping]

[engine rumbling]

- So clear he will screw you.

Get in, come on.

Come on.

You are crazy.

You know that?

[Anna chuckles] [gentle music]

[Julia sighs]

- Julia, sit down, please.

[Julia exhales]

- Can I give my statement now?

- No, I cannot do this.

The state police want to take over

and they want to take you for processing and-

- Why?

- Julia, I'm local police.

This is out of my control.

The state police want to take it,

and take you somewhere else for the statement.

- Everybody saw what happened.

I was just trying to save the boy.

I didn't do anything wrong.

- I did not see this but it doesn't matter.

They take over now.

It's state police matter right now, okay?

This situation is beyond my control.

- Can you at least give me my phone

so I can call my father?

- No, I cannot do this either.

You go with them, they take a statement,

then you make the call.

- No, no.

No, I wanna give my statement,

and then I wanna go the fuck home.

- Sit down.

Julia, you make this more difficult...

- Are you fucking kidding me?

Am I under arrest?

- I told you this is out of my hands.

If you do not do what they say, yes.

- [Julia] Don't fucking touch me.

Don't- - Hey.

- You fucking piece of shit.

- Me?

I did not bring the boat here, Julia.

This is not me that did this, okay?

We have a dead boy and a man with his stomach

on the, on the sand, okay.

- Oh my God!

- I did not do this, you did. - [Julia] Stop!

- [Cappi] Julia, do what they say.

It will be easier.

[Cappi sighs]

[announcer speaking in Italian]

[anticipatory music]

[Anna sighs]

- This is the facility. - Mm.

- I cannot go in with you.

- You'll wait for me?

- I will not be far.

[anticipatory music]

[all chattering]

- Yes, I need information about a young woman

that is here named Selena. [phone vibrating]

And uh- - Police, yes.

One moment, sorry.

Sorry, do you have her full name?

- Full name, no.

I don't.

- So I cannot help.

So, I'm sorry.

- But I have a phone number

for the police officer that brought her here.

Let me find my phone.

No, that's...

Okay, here he is [speaking in Italian].

- No, I'm sorry, Miss.

I'm not allowed to take your phone calls.

- [Anna] Then you call him.

- No, I cannot use your phone.

- [Anna] But then you use your phone.

Call him.

- [sighs] Okay, give it to me.

[phone line beeping]

Wait [speaking in Italian].

- Thank you.

[line trilling]

- What's her name again? - Selena.

- Selena.

I'm sorry, the girl has already been processed.

[solemn music]

I cannot do anything.

I'm sorry, that's all.

- But I gave him 1,000 euro,

and he said that he would release her.

- Excuse me?

Did you try to bribe a police officer?

This is a crime, Miss.

For this I could arrest you.

Please, just leave and enjoy your holiday.

[pensive music]

Leave.

[Anna gasps]

- Selena!

Selena!

Come on.

- Anna!

Anna [laughs]!

- Hello [laughs].

- What's happening?

- I am gonna keep trying to get you out.

So don't you worry, okay?

- Okay.

- I'll be back.

- Okay [chuckles].

- Keep your phone ready to listen, okay?

- Okay.

Okay, thank you, Anna.

- Bye. Go.

- Oh someone's coming.

[migrants chattering]

- Are you done with the charger?

- Is this thing working?

- Yes, it is working.

- It's not charging my phone. - Maybe it's your phone.

- That's okay, thank you.

- I just spoke to the lady I was telling you about.

- [Ismael] You did?

- She said she can help me.

- That's great.

That's great, congratulations.

Maybe when you have the baby,

they give you citizenship

like they do that in America, you know?

- I don't know if that's how it works here.

I don't...

- I hope it works out for you.

I hope it works out for you.

You know it's,

I'm completely destroyed.

My phone, it drop in the water.

And now, it's a piece of shit.

All my documents in here.

There's nothing working.

- Oh, gosh.

- Don't worry. - I'm so sorry.

- It doesn't look good here.

Don't worry, it's okay.

- Did you see her?

- Yes.

She's there.

- Okay.

- What do we do now?

- Nothing.

We could bring her water or wardrobe or food.

But that is it.

- Yeah.

- Let's stay in touch.

- I'll keep trying.

I'm only here though for another 10 days.

- Okay.

But do me a favor.

Please, stay away from the police officer again.

It can be real trouble for you and Selena.

The money is gone.

Just forget it.

- If I give him another $1,000 he may still help us.

- It's bullshit.

He cannot un-process her,

no matter how much money you give him now.

Just please, forget it.

- Okay, I will.

- Anna, thank you.

Thank you for everything you've done.

It's more than what most people would do.

[Anna exhales]

Can I give you a ride?

- Oh, no. I'm fine.

But thank you.

I wanna walk around a bit.

- Okay.

[gentle music]

[keys jingling] [engine rumbling]

[anticipatory music]

[phone ringing]

- Hey, I need to answer that call.

- [Matt] Try again.

Dial her again.

[Eddie sighs]

- [julia] Excuse me, I need to get that call.

[phone ringing]

Sir.

I know you can hear me.

I need to talk to my dad.

Look, if you don't let me talk to him,

things are gonna get really bad for you.

Oh my God. [handcuffs rattling]

If you don't answer that fucking phone,

things are going to get really, really bad.

Do you understand what I'm saying?

I know you fucking speak English.

I know you understand.

Fuck!

I really hope they're not doing what I think they're doing.

Fuck.

All right guys.

Don't do it, don't do it, don't do it.

- Hey, where's my daughter? - Hey, hey, hey.

- Where's my daughter? - Hey.

- It's been three fuckin' hours.

- Didn't they tell you?

- No one told me anything.

- They took her to the state attorney office.

- What? - Yeah.

From what I know, she'll probably

get charged with manslaughter.

- Manslaughter?

What?

Is this your way of getting rid of us, huh?

This is your doing.

- Eddie, calm down.

- Scumbag, get away from me.

Just get away from me.

- Eddie, Eddie, calm down.

Look, I can't change the law.

What do you want me to do, infiltrate the police?

- Yeah, try that.

- Yeah, right.

I mean, Eddie, what did you expect?

She killed the guy from behind.

Did you think about as she shot that fucking thing,

maybe just maybe that might have wouldn't

have killed the boy.

Did you think about it? [fist thuds]

[glass shatters]

- Hey, hey! - This fucker-

[all yelling indistinctly]

There would be no crime.

- Hey, hey, hey, hey!

[all yelling indistinctly]

I wanted to thank you, man.

- For what?

- Yeah, you know, for always having my back

in combat and all these years.

You took me in, let me stay.

It's pretty cool, man,

and I would've ended up dead

in a back alley if it wasn't for you man,

so thank you brother.

- Long time no see.

Where you've been?

- I work, you know here and there.

But you were right.

They don't want us here.

In fact, they hate us here.

- What about this family you told us about?

- I lied.

I don't have any family.

- You lied?

- But I do have family back home.

- Ah.

- I wanted to work an honest job.

Feed my family with honest money.

Now I know it's impossible.

- I told you, nobody's waiting for you here.

You have to take your life

in your own hands, [speaking in Italian]?

- I can see that now.

I'm ready to work for you.

[boss laughs]

- Did you hear that?

Now, I don't know if I want you to work for me.

[boss tsks]

I'll let Abdul decide.

[pensive music]

- You know what?

Let's go change.

And if you don't like the job,

then at least you have new clothing.

[pensive music continues]

[flag rustling]

- Your application got denied.

Tomorrow you will be sent back home.

- Home?

Home where?

- I know.

- Oh no, no, this must be something.

Can I try again?

- I'm really sorry.

Your behavior here was outstanding

and we have reported that,

but a territorial commission has rejected it anyways, so.

- You know how much I've been through to get here and now...

[sighs]

[plates clattering]

- We have another 300 euros to send over.

Can you go to the bank tomorrow?

- And don't forget, in 25 minutes

I have to pick up Awa.

- We cover you.

[phone ringing]

- Hello.

Selena, how are you?

I hope you're doing good.

Guess what?

I'm coming in one month right to where you are,

so please, please make me a reservation

at that restaurant you're working at, please.

I'll see you soon.

I hope you're good.

- [laughs] Anna's coming.

Go to the storage, storage. Go!
