Come over here.

Surprise.

Are you...? - Yes.

The degree is in!

I wanted to say that I'm very proud of you. I know you worked very hard for this.

I'm convinced you'll achieve everything you want.

She's going to study to be a physician. Once you are, I'll be your first patient.

I remember that when I first saw you at university...

...you wore those cute, somewhat idealistic, glasses with those round Ienses.

You wanted to save peopIe in Africa. - What's wrong with that?

I fell in love right away.

For those of you who don't know yet: Marina is pregnant. With my child!

She wants three children and I want eight. That's eleven, so if they play hockey...

From our capital city, I wish you, our beloved listeners...

...who are always with us...

...a very, very good afternoon.

You're not allowed to walk here. No one can pass.

Why do you want to go to Amani? - Do you know that place?

That's Guerrilla territory.

No one wants to go there.

Everyone wants to leave. - I want to help out.

I'm a doctor. - Yes, I know.

They need people like me. - That's true.

Tell me...

What are you running from?

Are you married? Do you have children?

That's too bad.

Welcome to Latin America, young lady.

25 soldiers disappeared after fights with the Alianza Nacional de Revolucion...

Six guerrilleros died yesterday during fights with the army...

A lot of weapons of the biggest guerilla group in the region of Amani...

I'm not allowed to take you to the other side.

You'll have to walk.

Don't worry. Those are government soldiers.

They fight against the guerrillas. Not against us.

Goodbye.

Marina?

Good luck in Amani.

Thanks.

Thijs? - Yes, that's me.

This is Ziggy, our driver. - Hello, I'm Marina.

Thijs, Ziggy and Marina on their way to the base.

Alianza de la RevoIucion NacionaI. Those are the guerillas.

What do those crosses mean?

Family members they've lost through land mines and retaliations.

It's a quiet protest. People still die, despite the truce.

To the people here it doesn't matter which side kills them.

They're the victims.

Ziggy, stop, I see something over there.

What happened?

They're from a village in the mountains, about 80 kilometers away.

There's fighting over there.

Thijs. Let's take her along.

He says they have nothing to eat and are ill. That woman just died.

Tell those people...

...they can come to our base in Amani. It's 20 kilometers that way.

We can help them there.

It's 20 kilometers that way.

Help awaits you there.

It will be dark soon and then our curfew takes effect.

We'll have problems with the guerillas. - She has a high fever.

If we take her, they'll all want to come.

Marina, stay near the car.

Hey gringo, who gave you permission to help those traitors?

We help who we want. We don't need anyone's permission.

You're late.

My watch says we still have an hour.

Nice watch.

Can we go now?

Don't forget, you're on my territory.

I decide what time it is.

Got it? - Yes.

Three a day.

Don't forget.

Ziggy, drive. l

Never, ever do anything like this again.

Isn't this great? - Terrific.

It's finished.

Guys, this is Marina. Our new doctor from the Netherlands.

It's great you're here.

This is the swimming pool. You tell us where the whirlpool goes.

A shower would be nice.

There's the pump.

Throw a bucket of water over you in that shed over there.

The shower.

A very good nurse. - Carmelita, weIcome to our team.

Your marital status?

I'm married, so don't get your hopes up.

I have two children.

How's it going?

We don't have enough medication. - This country is in ruins.

You'll have to improvise.

So when I have to anaesthetize a patient I'll have to hit him on the head?

The meal is ready on the base. Coming?

Yes, I'm coming.

Hey whitey, give me that ball.

Please. - Give me that ball.

First say 'please'.

My name is Oliverio, but they call me Oli.

What's your name? - I'm Marina.

I'm going to be a pro soccer player when I grow up.

Pro soccer player.

Fat chance. - I'm going to be as good as Kaka.

From Real Madrid?

Question: what is 'Leidense Studs'?

Leidse Studs. It's a field hockey team.

Do you know what field hockey is? - Yes. Here's your cap.

Keep it. I have more.

Can I have a few for my friends then?

Yes...

Come to the base if you want more.

Thanks.

Bye.

He lives with the nuns over there.

His parents were killed by a land mine.

That happened to a lot of kids here.

You're the hungriest, Carmellta. Want me to fill your plate?

Just a little bit, please.

Not that much.

One, two, three, four...

Orlando? Put this on top.

The guerillas. That's PabIo Diablo.

He's the guerilla leader. They call him 'EI Duro': the tough one.

Don't call him that to his face.

Come here, please.

Juan Fuentes. Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

Fine...

I have a small probIem.

And I'd like a discreet...

...consultation.

It's hard for me to see it this way.

Could you...

...lower your pants?

Are you treating it with something?

My shaman made me an ointment.

If you come to the clinic, you'll get an antibiotic cream.

I can't do that.

If you still want to be able to use it in the future...

I'll send one of my men.

Something else...

This conversation...

...never took place.

Hello, doctor Marina.

How are you, Oli?

Did you bring the caps? - No, I didn't.

But I'll save a few for you, okay?

Bye. - See you.

Look, San Sebastian.

They think you're the doctor.

It's your turn.

How are you?

Next.

Can you see the pictures?

There's a disease called dengue...

The ones with a white card...

...we can't help. It's their turn next time.

Could you lift your T-shirt?

Who's this child's mother?

Who's this child's mother?

She's dehydrated.

We have to put her on an IV.

Fine...

You're doing just great.

Thank you. - Throw this out?

We have to stop now. We have to be home before the curfew.

I'm almost done. - We'll start cleaning. See you soon.

Doctor, could you help me?

Do you have a card? - No.

Please, my mother is very sick. - We've run out of time.

I'm so sorry.

Little girl.

What's wrong? - My mother is sick.

Is your mother sick?

Where is she? - At home.

Come, quickly.

Thank you.

Do you take care of all these children?

You're a very brave girl.

Wait. I'll be right back.

There she is. - We can't leave yet.

There's a woman with pneumonia. I want to take her along.

We're already late. We'll never get back. - The boat can leave a bit later.

Barry!

This is Marina. CouId I speak to Thijs?

Thijs, there's a woman who needs treatment. Is it okay if...

The next time is in three weeks. She'll be dead by then.

No way. - You don't get how dangerous it is.

Come on.

Come on.

Screw Thijs. I'm going to get her. You've got to help me.

You have to come with us right now!

What's wrong?

Orlando, come with me. This way, please.

You've no idea what you're doing.

You're not listening to Thijs.

This is not good. - She's the doctor here.

But this is not good. - If she thinks it's important, then it is.

Don't you have a watch, buddy?

You have no permission to travel after sunset.

We don't need permission. - Yes, you do.

This is going to cost you.

Pablo, come on.

200 dollars, and I'll arrange it for you.

No.

We don't pay bribes.

Hey you, put that woman down.

I'm sorry, sir.

It's my fault. I had to visit a sick woman...

...and that takes time.

A sick patient?

That's so sad.

250 dollars.

Where are the drugs?

Let me deal with this.

Open that crate.

Go ahead. Look all you want.

We have drugs, but not that kind.

Then it's 250 dollars.

No.

If you pay 100 dollars in advance, you can take her aIong for treatment.

No, I'm sorry.

Then give me everything you have on you.

Get lost.

Should I call your commander?

Should I ask him how he feels about bribes?

Here's El Duro's phone number. Just in case.

Go and save lives.

We'll be watching you.

Ziggy, let's go.

Thijs, I'm sorry we're late...

Why do you think we're on such a tight schedule?

I had to do this. I'm here... - There are limits to what you can do.

You and your team's safety comes first.

If you can't accept that, then don't work here.

You just don't get how it works here.

The guerilla is the boss here.

When you don't obey their curfew, they'll start hating us.

We run the risk of being kicked out.

Where we'll be then? Then you really abandon your patients.

Now go to bed.

Hey, the famous soccer player.

Do you want to pIay? - No.

Do you want to do something eIse?

Perhaps some other time.

Do you want more? - No.

We have so much fun here. We play soccer...

...listen to music.

Do you like it in my village?

I'm trying.

You'll be fine. Give it a chance.

Clinic for doctor Marina.

Are you coming to the match against Santa Cruz? They're very good.

Yes, I'm going to cheer you on.

Do you promise? - Yes, I promise.

Bye.

Come on, push.

What are you doing? - This woman refuses to push.

Enough. Give me that stethoscope.

Take it easy.

Easy. - The heartbeat doesn't sound good.

Come on, push.

Calm down, the baby will be here soon.

It's going well.

I feel the head.

Now.

Push hard...and calmly...

That's good. Come on.

The contractions are very weak. - The shaman gave her herbs.

The shaman? - Yes.

There was meconium in the amniotic fluid, so she went to the shaman.

So that didn't work. - When?

A few hours ago.

Come on, breathe.

Silence.

The baby's choking.

Don't! It causes brain damage.

No discussion. The baby needs to come out.

Doctor, it will be out in ten minutes.

Ten minutes. - Diego, let me help.

You don't help us when you don't respect us.

Fine.

Five minutes. That's all.

Push. Come on, work with us. - Push.

Why do you listen to them?

Enough. Out of the way.

Get lost.

Do you think it's my fault?

Ask the shaman...

...what he thinks about respect.

She doesn't want the baby.

She doesn't want him? - No.

Maybe she didn't want him in the first pIace.

Maybe this baby is the result of a rape.

Only God knows.

Where's Thijs?

In his cubbyhole. - No, he's not there.

Maybe he went to sleep. - It's only seven o'clock.

Everything...

Everything here is one big mess.

Yes, you're right. I'm not suited to this.

No, you're not. You're not at all suited to this.

You're useless and what you're doing here is useless. You may as well leave.

Damn it.

The baby was still-born.

The mother didn't want it.

What am I supposed to do? Should I throw it...

...in the waste pit? I can't do that.

I saw it. It was a boy. I can't do it.

I just can't, Barry.

Where is the little boy?

Diego told me you had a misunderstanding.

The baby died.

I should have intervened sooner. - You tried your best

You saved one person. - I could have saved two.

Talk it over with the guys tomorrow. They'll learn from it.

Oh my, you've had it and you want to go back home.

Hey, sweetie.

Are you okay? - Sorry.

It's okay.

It's fine.

Sit down for a while.

If you want to Skype... - That's not necessary.

I Skyped my daughter.

She's doing her final exams and I have the pay the price for it.

She probably misses you. - Yeah, right.

That brat.

Where is she?

You know: women and soccer...

But she promised.

Don't worry. She'll come.

I'm going to the match.

Diego.

What's going on?

What's going on, Diego? - A mine.

Someone is seriously hurt.

Who is it?

Who is it?

It's Oli. He came to get you for the match.

Marina, don't!

Don't walk on!

Come back, Marina!

Get the surgery room ready immediately.

Thijs. - Can you manage.

Isn't he better off in the hospital in the capital?

It takes at least two days to get there.

And we can't drive in the dark.

Get away from here, guys.

Scissors.

We'll have to do it ourselves.

We don't have enough ketamine for such an operation.

Use bupivacaine. - There's not enough skin for the wound.

Then we'll use the muscle. - It's quite damaged.

Listen to me.

We use what we can of the muscle.

It's a child. He'll heal quickly.

How about the anaesthetic? - We're ready to go in five minutes.

Marina, come over here, pIease.

I've got the Netherlands on Skype for you.

Happy birthday, Marina.

Wout!

It's your birthday, isn't it?

I never forget it.

Yes, I...

How are you?

Very well.

How's Susan?

She's fine. She's got some problems.

Wout?

I'll just tell you before someone else does.

She's pregnant.

What did you say?

She's pregnant. She's having a baby.

She has a big belly.

She looks great. She's due in March.

Are you still there?

Congratulations.

Thanks. You too, of course.

Tell me: How's it going? - I have to hang up now.

Bye.

happy birthday

God bless our friend

we wish you a nice day

and many happy returns

Congratulations.

I turned 30 today.

Here I am. - How are you?

Would you like a beer? - Nice.

Congratulations.

One, two...

It's for you.

Thanks everyone.

Would you like a sausage?

I enjoyed it, but it won't happen again.

So you don't have to be afraid...

So...

Silence.

We don't have any medicine at the moment.

It looks infected.

We'll put a new bandage on it.

Orlando? Could you get me more antibiotics?

In Spanish.

We're out of medicine.

But we checked the pharmacy yesterday.

There's nothing anymore. It's all gone.

How can that be?

We don't know, doctor Marina.

I'm going to talk to Thijs.

Where are you going? - Not now.

Wait a minute. - Leave me be.

I'm coming with you. - Jesus.

What's up? - Just because we did it once...

...doesn't mean we have a relationship.

Why are you acting like this?

I had an ectopic pregnancy. I'm not able to have children anymore.

Don't tell me it doesn't matter, because it does.

It's terrible.

I want to be alone.

May I please see that green box?

Where did you get this? - Through my uncle.

Where is your uncle.

CouId I speak to him? - No, he's at home, sIeeping.

How did he get this? - The boy doesn't know anything.

He just works here.

Do you know anything about it? - No, perhaps it comes from the city.

The city is far away.

Hello. Is there a problem?

No, I just want to know where this...

Are you buying it or not?

Yes.

I'll take them all.

And this book.

I'm talking to the mission.

The army is occupying a village near the border.

The guerillas aren't taking that lying down.

The whole village is fleeing.

What's that? - I bought them at the market.

Are they ours? - The labels have been ripped off.

Damn it. How did they get them? - They didn't want to tell me.

Or they didn't dare. - One of us?

Thijs, this will get me Oli through another day.

Two at the most.

And then?

Some water.

Do you know Winnie the Pooh?

Do you want me to read to you? In very bad Spanish?

Will you stay?

Yes, I'll stay with you. - Mother Marina.

Chapter 1.

In which we're introduced to Winnie the Pooh and some bees...

...and where the stories begin.

Here is Edward Bear, coming downstairs now...

...bump, bump, bump...

...on the back of his head...

...behind Christopher Robin.

This is the only way of coming downstairs...

..but sometimes he feels that there really is another way...

...if only he could stop for a moment...

Yes, 472, that's what I had. Very good.

What are you doing? - I'm looking for pills.

Are you working? - Yes.

I want acetaminophen for that boy with the wound. He has a temperature.

May I have a look?

This is medication against malaria. - Yes.

But I'm looking for acetaminophen.

We had to send patients home because we couldn't treat them.

If you're taking the last we have... - Do you accuse me of theft?

You think I'm a thief. - No, but...

This pharmacy is my responsibllity. It's my job.

I know very well what I have to do.

You don't need to tell me what I have to do.

I checked Orlando's last one and it's completely wrong.

The medication we should have in stock isn't there.

Perhaps we should have a look in his house.

Are you okay? - I'm fine.

Come over here.

I think you have a fever. - No. I'm fine. Coming?

Guys, is this Orlando's house?

He's at work. He works a lot.

He's a cleaner at the caf�.

Does Orlando in a caf�?

He's my uncle. He's completely nuts. - Who else lives here?

I do... - I do.

Which bed is his?

I'm going outside. It's very hot in here.

Those are my uncle's. - Yes, I know.

Damn it.

How can he do this?

Half his family is with the guerilla. He sees our expensive cars, our free drugs.

I think you have malaria. - No.

I'm quite sure.

What's that? - OId-fashioned quinine.

I couldn't find anything else. Come on.

Just swallow them.

Barry and I will talk to Orlando tomorrow.

We'll manage. Don't worry.

If daughter calls, don't tell her I'm sick.

I'll call her tomorrow. - I'm sure you'll feel better by then.

Be careful. He's drunk. I'll get Thijs.

Don't. Thijs is sick.

Orlando, stop it.

What were you doing in my house? You don't have the right.

You're not thinking clearly.

It's none of your business. You betrayed me.

Listen to me. I'm your friend. - It's none of your business.

You're not my friend. - What are you doing, you idiot?

Easy... - You betrayed me.

Do you want to fight?

Orlando, I don't want to fight with you. - Get lost.

Stop it. That's enough.

Stop it, Orlando.

What's it to you?

What are you doing?

You betrayed me. - You betrayed me. I trusted you.

I trusted you. We were working together, but you...

It wasn't me. - Yes, it was.

I trusted you.

You betrayed everyone.

The ministry, us...

Even Oli. You stole his medication.

They forced me. I had no choice.

Leave. Go home.

I sent Orlando away.

Please come back next week.

Then we might have medicine. Do you understand?

Doctor Marina, that thing with Orlando...

Stealing the medicine...

I have to apologize. - It's not your fault, Diego.

Orlando isn't like that. He's a good man.

The infection is getting worse.

He just got his second dose, but we can't treat him any further.

We have to come up with a solution.

How are you feeling? - Fine.

Perhaps you think your life is over now.

You think...

...that your body...

...is abandoning you.

Just like everyone else.

But...

But I'm here with you.

I'm here.

You'll become...

...yourself again.

You'll live again...

...and be happy.

And some day...

...you'll play soccer again.

Do you promise?

Yes.

I promise.

I promise.

I have one dose of antibiotics left. - He has to go to the hospital.

No, that will take at least two days. He won't survive that.

Perhaps the guerrilleros know more about that medicine.

Let's find out now.

That's crazy. - If I don't do anything, Oli will die.

They're all leaving.

What does that mean?

Fights can break out at any moment.

I'd like to speak to the commander, pIease.

Commander, sir?

Sir...

Sir, our boss Thijs...

...has malaria.

But we can't treat him any further, because we have no ACT left.

We can't cure the children of their diarrhea.

Sir, you have to help us.

Since when do NGOs ask the guerillas for help?

Isn't that against your...

...neutrallty principles? - Yes, but a child is dying.

He needs medication.

I don't know how to help you, to tell you the truth.

Sir, you yourself suffered, remember?

I hope you feel better.

I don't know what you're talking about.

The doctors were just leaving.

Is it possible that your men do things without your knowledge?

At precisely the moment the army is on the doorstep?

You should worry about your own people.

I'm talking about someone who puts his nose where it doesn't belong.

My sergeant means...

...that our militia is equipped to deal with such people.

What is this? - Are we talking about him?

Is it he?

What shall we do with him?

We heard that he is a thief.

And that's not very humanitarian.

You don't have the right to keep him imprisoned.

Let him go. We can take him with us.

You have to pay for his freedom. - You know we don't do that.

Nonsense. If you want him, pay up.

And you still owe me money, jack-ass.

We don't pay for freedom here.

You know that.

You have to let our colleague go.

Who's going to make me? You?

Or you?

What are you trying to prove? What?

As you wish.

If he's not worth anything to you...

...then he isn't to me either. - No.

We don't accept this. If we leave...

...neither the villagers nor the guerilla will receive help anymore.

So his the life isn't worth anything? - Of course it is.

No, help me.

Don't hurt him.

Stop that.

Damn it, what is this?

What are you doing?

I don't want to see you anymore around here. Get it?

I never want to see you again.

Then throw me out.

We have to evacuate. - Who's 'we'?

You, Barry, Carmelita and I.

What about the patients and local staff? - Ziggy only drives us and ex-pats.

We have to leave, not them. They live here.

We'll be back once things calm down.

You have 15 minutes to pack your things.

Mother Marina.

Poor boy...

How are you? - I'm cold.

Let me help you.

I thought you'd gone.

Someone has to turn off the lights.

I've put the very ill... - Oli is coming.

What? - I know it's an enormous risk...

...but I'm willing to take it.

Someone is coming to meet us, because we don't have enough gas to get to the city.

I'll tell them about our patient. - You're a hero.

Good Iuck.

I'll be back, Diego. - We'll see.

Where's Barry?

Come along.

Come along, please.

I'm not leaving without you.

Orlando was my friend.

They ruin everything here.

Come on.

His blood pressure is dropping.

He needs antibiotics. - The other car has all the medicine.

If we get there in time. - We will.

He's not breathing.

He's getting into shock.

How much longer, Thijs? - We'll make it.

Come on, little guy.

Damn it.

Oli, listen to me. It's me, Marina.

Stay with me, Oli. Stay with me.

Documentation.

All International Frontline Doctors? - Yes, we were evacuated from Amani.

We're going to the capital. We have permission.

End that conversation or I'll wreck that radio.

Do you have permission for him? - Does he have a passport?

He's a resident of Amani, badly injured.

If he doesn't get to a hospital fast, he'll die.

Does he have a passport? - No, sir.

Come here.

May we go on, please?

Is there a probIem?

Your permit isn't valid anymore.

You're leaving the region.

We have permission for the whole route.

Okay, go.

No, not he. Not without a passport.

Sir, you know we're here for medical relief...

Get out of the car.

Out of the car.

Go on. - Marina...

Sir, I'm begging you. That boy...

Get in the car. - That boy is dying.

Get in the car.

Listen. We're a neutral organization.

Okay, you may go.

Not without our papers.

Get in the car. - First our papers.

Get out. - Fuck those papers.

Are you crazy? We won't get anywhere without them.

Get out, idiot.

Get lost. - I beg you.

Shut up. - We're not hurting anyone.

Shut up. - Please, let us through.

Stop talking.

Take it easy, bitch. You'll enjoy this...

You're in charge, aren't you?

Please tell your colleague to let her go.

How about some music?

It will help you reIax.

It's a present for you.

With all my favorite songs.

But only if you tell your colleague to let her go.

Marina, get back in the car. Get back in the car!

I have another present for you if you give us our papers back.

With this you can phone aIways and to everywhere.

To your home, your girIfriend...

You're bribing us, right? - No.

You're bribing us. - No, no...

I give you presents because I like to. - No.

Aren't you interested?

I want two of them. - What are you doing?

Damn it.

I want two of them.

This is your lucky day.

What are you doing.

Give it to me, asshole. - Nothing is for free. Papers.

Papers.

Come on, Thijs.

But they don't have the batteries.

Will we see each other tomorrow? - Of course.

Hello, Marina. - Hello, how are you?

Hello, Marina. Welcome. How are you?

I'm Remi, the new P.C.

How was the trip? - Fine.

Ziggy.

How are you? - Very well.

Are you hungry? - Yes, I am.

How is This? - Fine.

His daughter needs him.

At least until she leaves home. He wishes you well.

What happened to PabIo Diablo? Have you heard anything?

Nothing. El Duro knows how to get rid of an enemy.

Since Pablo isn't here anymore... - Excuse me.

We come home.
