Military Encounter in Conflict Zone

He was blown to bits.

In the store beneath the window.

I’m not giving up.

If they sent you in as cannon fodder.

The mortar started firing.

Come on, you’ve got two minutes left.

Get up, get back up. Where do you think you are?

I’m with Mishka. Hi.

Quiet.

Exit.

About 20 meters. The FOP starts ahead of us, in the houses,

dugouts and so on.

We’re trying not to make too much noise. We’re close, be careful.

Don’t mix them up, please. Friendlies, friendlies.

Quieter, quieter, quieter. What? What?

We know you’re here. Come out.

Time’s up.

Be careful here, check the greenery.

Ah, that’s it. Stop, stop! He’s down, he’s down.

He was blown to bits.

He was ready to fire. He’s holding the grip. He didn’t have time to pull out a grenade.

I think he didn’t have time. He should have a radio somewhere.

All right, let’s check the yards farther on.

Clear.

Pilyak is in position in the store beneath the window.

Looks like the pilot was sitting here, there are piled-up boxes here.

I went there, it contains him.

I'm not giving up. I went up on the roof.

Can you see me? That's it, over here.

Come on, go.

To the empty spot. Come on.

Come on, come on, come on. No sudden movements, and you'll live.

My right leg.

Your right leg, I know. Sit down, sit down,

hands, palms up.

This is who we were looking for.

Me?

Of course, you.

They sent me in like meat.

They send all of us in like meat. No sudden movements. Got any grenades?

No. I signed the contract on the 28th

of July this year.

They didn't even teach us anything.

Did you spot for us? Aim them at us?

No, no.

I don't know who was directing artillery. They told me to come here, to this point,

and listen for who's coming, who's shooting, who's firing.

What have you got, your arm and leg, right?

Yes.

Have you been here long?

In this forest, this is my second day. I'm a Phalangist.

I knew that my commanders had sent me to certain

death.

Been here long?

Yeah?

So, we went into the woods this morning. A mortar started firing at us.

They showed me roughly where to aim by sound. I fired 50 rounds.

Maybe it wasn't that one, because nothing else is firing at us

anymore.

We're lying low now, waiting for things to stop flying.

Careful around the turns, careful.

Checked him over, seems it's not bleeding.

There are foxholes there, you can go in.

Give him water.

The water's fine, just a little bit of debris in it,

but that's not a problem.

Surrendering? Come on, you've got two minutes left. At least you'll get a proper meal now.

Feed him, fuck, look, one came out properly.

He threw away his rifle and is crawling.

Lie down there, lie down there. I'll film it.

Wait, hold on a bit. Sit down.

Ours?

Ours.

Got any grenades?

Documents.

Why did you take so long to surrender?

I

didn't surrender, I didn't hear you, I went deaf.

Where did you come from?

I came alone.

Who's that, then?

He's already here

was.
