Sara

Take them away.

The special UN emissary...

has been just evacuated after his car was attacked...

by three unidentified gunmen.

What happened?

l can only say that our soldiers...

- Any casualties? - Why the shooting?

Was it an assassination?

One of them protected me with his body.

- ls he wounded? - Did he survive?

Thanks to him, l'm here now. - Are you all right?

Will you make a statement?

Please do not film the unloading.

We have a few wounded but their lives aren't in danger.

Our soldiers showed extraordinary heroism.

lf they're only wounded why are they covered?

They are special forces.

Their faces are never shown.

l was standing there, five meters away from them.

The guy who took this picture suddenly fell down...

and a Jeep with a machine gun came around the corner...

so we started to shoot.

Later we learned that none of the refugees had been killed...

and that woman gave me this pot out of gratitude.

Oh, it's only a rib.

- Broken? - lt doesn't hurt.

Yes? l remember.

No, nothing like that.

Of course l do. l shave everyday.

l'm telling you that you...

can't do this legally.

l don't want it to be legal.

l just want it to look that way.

Hey buddy, where to?

Where do you think you're going?

He has an appointment.

What's that on your head?

- My hairdresser was drunk. - John, show him out.

You won't find anybody better for this job!

Four years in the special forces!

He protected people with his own body!

He's had some problems,

but everybody drinks from time to time.

He drinks everyday, you can see it in his eyes.

How could you bring me such trash?

lt shows a lack of respect.

Can l have a drink before l go?

Give him a beer and throw him out.

- l don't have a gun. - Good, you'd only hurt yourself.

Wait.

Stop shooting, for God's sake.

What an idiot!

l heard you.

We had a deal, didn't we?

To guard me means to come before they kill me, right?

The car wouldn't start.

You should've come and told me. l would've bought you a new one.

See if he's still alive.

l think his dead.

The son of bitch is asleep.

l'm taking him home.

He'll puke all over the car, boss.

Where am l going to find a lawyer as good as you?

You'd like one like that, wouldn't you?

What is she doing here?

She wanted to go dancing.

Here, in this whore-house?

This place is good for thugs, thieves, and corrupt cops.

You were supposed to guard her, not take her out dancing.

l figured if she wanted to dance better to do it near you.

Starting tomorrow you're the new gardener.

Get out of here.

What stinks?

You puked in the car and l had to clean it up.

Leave us alone.

Can you tell me why you debased yourself like this?

l had some family problems.

l can help you out.

l can call the doctor to give you an Antabuse implant...

or l can put half a liter of vodka into your lV.

Put in a liter.

Christ, Doctor, at least give me an anesthetic!

Go and call Sara.

lf l tell her, she won't listen.

Why don't you go, darling?

Go call the boys for dinner.

This is the man who'll be driving you to school.

Couldn't l drive someone else?

l'll never shoot a cop in uniform.

Sure.

What about undercover cops?

Why is he alone?

Because l'm good, pal. Boss, talk to him.

Buy him something big, better make it a shotgun.

- What the hell for? - Because it's big.

Give me a break Leon. We're both in this for the money.

- But l'm not staff. - That's why l earn more.

l want two legal guns, a Colt and a Beretta.

The doctors won't let me drink vodka or eat fatty food...

but they allow me to drink wine.

Did you know that the French have...

the fewest heart attacks?

- The house is poorly guarded. - l'm not a connoisseur.

l just know that you drink red wine with steak.

The best vine l've ever drunk was Bulgarian ''Sophia''...

right after the Chernobyl explosion.

- Don't worry about a heart attack. - That's enough!

Somebody'll come here and kill you.

What happens in this house is none of your business.

l have some problems right now but l'll manage.

All l want you to do is drive my daughter to school...

bring her back...

and then go home.

She's in good hands here. Do you understand?

So if she's hurt on this side of the fence, you won't blame me?

- Exactly. - But you'll feel a little sorry.

What if, for example, something happens to her...

when she has one leg on this side of the gate...

and the other on the street?

Do you really want me to loose my temper?

Just trying to determine the scope of my responsibilities.

l just wanted to pour you some.

lt's a very good school.

l need someone who'll make sure that all she does is study.

l don't want her to know that she's threatened.

ls she threatened?

When she was born, l was sorry she wasn't a son.

Ten years later l was happy she was not a boy.

Nobody killed women then.

But now times have changed...

and a few of my competitors don't have sons anymore.

You don't trust those thugs of yours, do you?

You need an outsider. But l'm a drunk.

l'll get drunk and shoot her myself.

The doctor assured me that if you drink a glass of vodka, you'll die.

Besides you're the only guy who's not doing this for money.

Really?

You're doing this for yourself.

You won't let her get hurt, whatever the cost...

that's why l hired you.

l asked you not to get out of the car every time.

l can open the door myself.

lf you keep smoking in the car, l'll die of lung cancer.

The girls say l have a bodyguard or a lover.

- l'm just a driver. - You scare my boyfriends.

The one from Chicago Bulls isn't afraid of me, is he?

He'll be playing in the NBA, you'll see.

lf he paints himself with shoe polish.

Let's get something straight.

l already did with your father.

You're just like the other bastards that work for him!

Did you think l wasn't?

Stop, l want to get out!

- Yes, l understand. - l didn't know you could read.

l burn them in the fireplace.

Some drunk set fire to the trailer. We can go back.

- Do you have anything to drink? - No.

Just a driver, huh?

Put this on.

We're not leaving here until you put on the jacket.

- lt'll wrinkle my jacket. - So take it off.

All right.

Enough of this. l want to leave.

l'll call the neighbors.

Help! Help! Fire!

They've heard worse things.

l don't know why you're here.

l swear on my mother's gray head, it was just a cigarette butt.

There are lots of hoodlums around...

Go home.

Do you have to smoke so much? The car stinks.

l have a nerve-racking job.

lsn't he overdoing it a little?

l understand he's afraid...

but he'll end up telling us to lock the girl in a safe.

Do l protect her or not? Make up your minds.

But she doesn't want protection. She says you're weird.

lf l was normal, l wouldn't be here.

Then maybe he can drive and l'll protect her?

Go and tell Sara's mother to bring her here.

l told him to call you because l got information...

that they're trying to get to me by using my daughter.

l don't think it's true but l won't risk it.

l've been trying to come to an agreement with them.

l'm hoping we'll make peace in the next few days

My dear, l'd like us together to think about what we should do now.

Simple, hire a private teacher and pull her out of school.

What?!

l have a few problems right now, darling, but...

l'll try to resolve them and you'll be able to go back to school.

No way, the boys have a game tomorrow.

lf they win, there'll be a dance.

lf you want to keep me home, put bulletproof glass in the windows.

They're already bulletproof.

Put these earphones on.

You want me to wear them during the game?

lf you don't stick them in your ears, you won't go to the dance.

Maybe l ought to put on a bulletproof jacket too?

Yes, but you won't be able to dance then.

So you'll have to stay close in case someone tries to kill me.
