Coffee?
Sugar?
Yes.
Three.
Perfect.
A little more coffee in your sugar?
Stir it.
This will be a long night.
We'll need a strong cover note for the dossier.
Rio de Janeiro.
Very soon.
Carolina Larriera, from Argentina.
Quit Wall Street to come out here and change the world.
Economic advisor to our transitional government.
Nice to finally meet you.
It's an honor and a privilege to serve East Timor.
Mr. de Mello, I've heard a lot about you.
Over time, we've developed
certain modalities for conflict resolution.
I apologize.
You have quick fixes for complex issues, don't you?
Indonesia wants to wipe my country off the map.
We don't have time for UN modalities
that led to the death of millions in Bosnia and Rwanda
while UN peacekeepers simply watched.
You can't judge what you don't know.
We've learned from our mistakes.
Of course. Now you need a success story.
We've fought for our independence for 24 years
We're not going to be your experiment.
May 10th,
1968,
The Night of Barricades.
Good morning.
How are you?
I'm good.
I'm Sergio Vieira de Mello.
I have a meeting scheduled with General Gusmao
for now.
Could you please tell him I'm here?
Wait.
How do you spell your name?
D-E.
M-E-L-L-O.
Thank you.
You must wait.
Good morning.
-How are you? -I'm good.
What fruit is this?
It's areca.
That one you chew?
You chew and your mouth gets red.
I'd never seen it before.
Good morning.
Good morning. I'm well.
Hi, Sergio.
Are you Portuguese?
No, I'm Brazilian.
Why are you here?
I'm here to administer Timor,
but for a short period.
Welcome.
We have been waiting for the future to arrive.
What do you want most for your future?
If I tell you what I want...
I don't think you would understand.
Really? I can make an effort to try.
I really want to know.
My whole life...
I worked the land.
Today,
my land,
my family,
they are all dead.
I don't have anything.
You know what I want?
I want to go up into the sky...
and become a cloud.
Then travel through the sky
to the place where I was born.
And when I get there,
fall like rain.
Then...
stay forever...
on my soil,
on my land.
I completely understand what you want.
So,
tell the world to see us
the way we are.
We want to be seen.
All of us.
You want to be seen.
-Can I give you a hug? -
-Thank you. Thank you. -
How beautiful what you just told me.
Are you okay?
Yes, I'm fine!
- Gaby? - Yes?
How is Carolina?
And all the others?
It's good.
Everyone is good, Sergio. Everyone is good.
This part is secret.
Go over there.
Shrimp moqueca with red palm oil.
Where did you get it?
-From Bahia. -
For you, my son.
I'm so happy I'm here.
How was the beach?
The water was great.
So good to see you here with the kids.
You're going to love it!
Look at the size of this shrimp.
Pass me the spoon.
Tell them what this is.
Under no circumstances should any Muslim
or sane person resort to the United Nations.
The UN is nothing but a tool of crime.
We are being massacred every day,
while the United Nations sits idly by.
Do you want some tea?
Is your brother with you?
Yes, you are busy.
I understand.
I love you.
Your brother too.
Are you okay?
Look.
Go faster
What?
Go faster!
I love you.
You don't have to do that.
We need to assess the security situation.
I take full responsibility.
Full responsibility.
Sergio, my love.
Are you there?
Sergio, my love, are you there?
Sergio, my love, I am here!
Are you--
Are you okay?
And the others?
I love you.
Ready?
Always.
You look beautiful.
Thanks.
Sorry I'm late.
No problem.
What are you going to do?
Sergio, it's an illegal war
against everything you believe in.
The war is happening,
what I believe doesn't matter.
And you know what?
Soon I'll be leaving the UN,
and finish my dissertation.
And go back to academia.
The boys can come visit us.
The boys.
Your sons are not children anymore.
My mom will love meeting you.
Of course.
Yes. Because you're crazy.
-You're both the same. Crazy. -
