Relax, it's the same every year,
just keep the scissors away from her.
Saint Vid, you bury this, so that
it does not wither tomorrow
Not a single sing on my road,
don't you try to cross it
You won't find a better road to follow.
THE CHILDREN OF EVIL
Nikola Bobic is my best student,
and even though he's young,
he is one of the most successful
lawyers in the country.
I am glad that he set time aside
for giving this lecture.
Okay, now, even those
who were not familiar,
know that my name is Nikola Bobic
and that I am a lawyer by profession.
What else do you know about me?
Here you go.
You are 40 years old and
your office is based in Krunska.
Well, you could have read that
on Google. Anything else?
You reside in St. Sava Street.
This isn't available on Google.
Okay, now I'm a little bit scared.
My aunt used to live in your building.
She claims that you never
attended tenants council.
Okay, so you all agree that I am
a lawyer, that I am 40 years old,
that I have an office in Krunska
and that I live in St. Sava Street.
Is it possible that your aunt didn't
see me at the tenants meetings,
due to the fact that
I don't live there at all?
It's not likely.
And is it possible that I came
to the lecture in a stained shirt?
That I have a stain on my shirt?
No.
That's right.
Your assignment as a lawyer
is to look for this stain.
For that unlikely and hidden fact.
The trial is a fight and all we
are interested in is evidence.
Do we have strong evidence or not?
You can be the most
innocent person in the world
if there is enough evidence that
you are guilty, you will be convicted.
On the other hand, you can
be a black devil incarnated,
if the prosecutor can't find out
where you hide your horns,
you'll walk away free.
How can you properly defend someone
who doesn't really interest you?
I mean, if you can't tell whether
a person is honest with you or not?
Well, that's the only way
I can do it.
You have to understand, there is no
place for emotions in the courtroom.
You have to show composure and precision.
And you can't do that if you get
deeply involved with the client.
It was a great lecture.
- Thank you.
- See you.
- Have a nice day.
- You too.
- Excuse me, do you have a lighter?
- No.
- Oh, a non-smoker?
- Yes.
Bravo, smart enough.
I forgot to buy it.
- Bojana.
- Nikola.
Nice to meet you.
Bojana, you don't study here?
I do.
You don't strike me as
a first-year law student.
Why, what's wrong with me?
Okey, I'm not studying law.
Well, Milan, your assistant,
I'm not sure what's his capacity,
he told me you were giving a lecture.
And I need you.
I mean not you personally,
but you as a lawyer.
And then I came to hear
you a bit, you know
Yes, he didn't mention
anything to me, Milan.
Hello?
Who?
You're screwing me?
I'll grab a cab.
I'll try, I'll try somehow
to get myself in there.
I know. I know where it is.
So, what the hell?
No, no, here I am getting into the taxi.
Yeah, yeah
I'm coming, I'm coming.
Mr. Drobnjak, can you
tell us what happened?
Mr. Drobnjak?
Bastards!
There's victim's wife,
she called the police.
- Mira Kovac?
- That's right, Mira Kovac.
- What does she say?
- Well, I don't know, she's sick.
She has high blood pressure,
she's there in the ambulance.
The doctor says we have to wait.
- So I don't know yet.
- What do you know?
Let's go inside.
This way.
You've never seen something
like this before, have you?
Well?
It is ritual killing and
a premeditated one
as if the killer had planned all this
It wasn't done on a spur
of the moment, either.
I think this is a crime of passion.
Why you think so?
Kind of intimate act, conducted
in the bedroom, in underwear.
The pose is humiliating.
Open this up.
You called the police?
I came,
I have left some things here.
I thought there was no one here
And, and, and
I tried to unlock the door,
but the door were unlocked and, and I
Excuse me, excuse me, what kind of things?
We were in the middle of divorce
I moved out.
Does anyone else live in this house?
Our daughter lives abroad.
Have you seen anyone?
He was very ambitious.
That's not good. He thought
Have you seen anyone?
- Yes, I have.
- Who?
I saw a bodyguard running
through the yard.
- His bodyguard?
- Yes.
When?
From that direction,
when I was heading home.
Do you know his name?
He's got rather specific surname, he
Pazin.
- Pazin?
- Pazin.
- Thank you.
- Good day, Madam.
Check the cameras in the yard
and ask the neighbours
- Whether anyone saw anything
- And you know her from before?
Why would you care?
Do we have anything?
We have Mira Kovac, she saw the
bodyguard running across the yard.
I'm going to the address now.
So soon?
You know I'm fast.
Drobnjak.
We have a suspect.
Inspector Drobnjak, tell us what happened?
Do you have a peck of cigarettes,
I need it for the flop?
- I don't smoke.
- Healthy man.
- Did you leave it for me?
- Yes, it's in place.
Girls!
Who will you vote for?
- Good evening.
- Good evening, neighbour.
Hello, Marlena!
Come on, Marlena, come on.
As we unofficially learn, politician
Radovan Kovac was found dead
in his Dedinje residence.
Motive for the murder is unknown,
and the killer is still at large.
Here's our dear colleague from
Nasa Serbia party, Darko Markovic.
I don't know, I really
don't know what to tell you.
I'm waiting for someone
to wake me up from this nightmare,
I can't conceive who could
lay a hand on such a man.
Serbia is constantly losing,
now it has lost a fighter
who would make a difference.
Besides, he was a wonderful friend,
and it is really hard for me
and I can only trust that that the state
will finally show its teeth.
The elections are scheduledin a month
time. Do you think it will be postponed?
We will, of course, focus on
Good afternoon.
Ana!
- Did you rest?
- Yes, I did.
- Do you want coffee?
- No, thanks, I've already drunk it.
Alarm has been raised
Maybe they'll introduce a state of
emergency, nothing is impossible.
The public prosecutor called
me this morning from Manila.
They draw parallels with Djindjic.
Prime Minister also called to say that
we have full support of the government
and that quick indictment
and a strict verdict is a priority.
This is your big case, ha?
You can make a career out of this.
It's crucial that we don't
screw anything up.
If we win, we will win big time.
- But if we lose
- Well, we won't.
That's the spirit!
That's why it's important to be
ready for cooperation, you know
This is not an ordinary case,
it must be treated as such.
Beyond the usual protocols
So that everything would be
over before the elections.
- So will there be any at all?
- Well, I think it will.
Yes, it would be good for Drobnjak
to suggest a defense attorney
to be assigned to little Pazin,
or if the defense is ex officio attorney,
then we should engage
a lawyer from our list
I don't know, maybe Planojevic
or someone like him?
So now the most important thing is
to say that we have solid evidence,
that everything will be over soon, that
this is not a politically motivated murder
and that it will not affect the elections.
- Is that clear?
- Totally.
Come on!
Radovan Kovac, member of parliament
and president of Nasa Serbia party,
was brutally killed in his
home yesterday evening.
Thanks to the effective
operation of the state police,
carried out in coordination
with the higher public prosecutor's
office in Belgrade,
we managed to identify
perpetrator at short notice.
It's Dragan Pazin from
Belgrade, 27 years old.
Otherwise, the late Mr. Kovac's
bodyguard and head of security.
Dragan Pazin has been arrested
and he is currently in custody.
Now I leave the floor to the senior
public prosecutor, Gordana Ivic.
- Please, continue.
- I will be brief.
First of all,
I want to express my condolences
to the family of Radovan Kovac.
Kovac was a friend of mine.
His closest friends, as well as the
parliament and the government,
lost a great fighter for democracy
and national interests.
My deputy, Ana Basta,
who is in charge of this case,
will tell you more about the case itself.
- Ana, here you go.
- Thank you.
Yes, good day everyone.
Well, we don't want to rush
and make premature conclusions
about this case resolution.
It is true that Dragan Pazin
is a suspect in this case.
I am also interested,
but we will be late for the trial.
How did they find the killer so quickly?
Law office Bobic, may I help you?
Bye, Minja.
I'm sorry, he's not in the office,
but you can leave a message.
Didn't Kovac's bodyguard pull
his head out at that rally?
- Is that the same kid?
- I'll check it out right away.
Yes, it is.
Dragan Pazin.
One week you save someone from
being killed, next week you kill him.
Is it possible?
Well, it's a little strange,
I have to admit.
How was the lecture?
Okey, it's always fun with students.
I forgot to tell you,
I met that girl.
- Bojana.
- Yes, I know.
She was at a lecture and referred to you.
You know I don't do that otherwise.
No We don't hang out, but I met
her by chance in the city and
I know that you work hard,
so you will reject her,
that's why,
I felt sorry for her.
- Sure.
- No, that's not really the point.
Minja?
She has boyfriend.
Listen, whatever happens between
the two of you, work must not suffer.
- What you've got?
- Well, I've got dick.
- Nice, dick What else do you have?
- Nothing.
- How come you don't have anything?
- Well, nothing.
Kovac helped people,
fought for his homeland,
was in the opposition and
founded a fund to help refugees,
engaged in humanitarian work,
carried fucking grandmas
across the street, nothing.
Honey, everyone has a secret.
We just have to be the first to
find out what's his.
- Want some?
- I won't, my ass is getting bigger.
Wherever I dig, it turns out they
could only kill him for his honesty.
I need something dirty, greasy
Something altogether tough,
to fall on everyone's head.
I know, but there isn't
anything like that.
Get on this Pazin who has been accused.
Focus on him and we'll see what happens.
That's probably the best thing for us,
there's no one to defend him.
And as for Kovac, all the best about him,
because if we start spitting on him now,
they're going to run us over.
Minja, I can't talk now,
I'm entering the court.
Sorry for disturbing you,
but there is a man here.
He doesn't want to leave,
I don't know what to do.
Which man?
Zvonko Pazin, the father of the
bodyguard accused of the murder.
Tell him to leave his phone
number and I will get back to him.
- He won't leave.
- Then, let him wait. Come on.
It's delicious.
Do you think it's okay that we said
murder was not politically motivated?
- Why?
- Because we're still not sure about that.
Honey, this is not an ordinary case.
When a member of parliament,
the leader of the main opposition
party has been killed.
- Is everything ok?
- Yes, yes.
- Are you okay?
- Thank you.
So, when we have such a case, the
public should be appeased promptly.
We just have to do our job. Okay?
Ana, if you think this
is too difficult a case for you,
if you think you can't handle it,
now is the time to tell me.
No, I don't think so.
Then, eat.
Milica
I'm so sorry about your dad.
Milica!
Thank you for coming.
When have you arrived?
This morning.
But I will depart immediately.
Have you brought
Milena with you?
No, I didn't bring her.
Too bad it was an opportunity
to get to know each other.
It was an opportunity for my child
to look at her grandpa slaughtered.
No, I thought
We could go for a lunch.
Yes, to see you drugged.
- Good afternoon.
- Good afternoon.
I know it's not nice that I waited
for you, but I had nowhere to go.
- Please, come on in.
- Thank you.
Dragan was injured at the rally
when he defended Radovan.
It happened few days ago,
it's in the newspaper.
Is that why you believe
that your son is not guilty?
He isn't.
Please, help him out.
I will sell everything, just to
defend him, I will take out a loan
Please, please, that's not the point.
Tell me, have you ever lost
someone you loved very much?
- Yes, I have.
- Me too.
My wife.
She got cancer.
I worked as a janitor in
the People's Front Clinic,
I knew a doctor, and Stana was
immediately scheduled for surgery.
Blood was needed.
We both had blood type zero.
She was negative, I wasn't.
One mark on the test tube
determines your whole life.
And the answer of yours is like that mark.
Tell me, do you believe in God?
I do.
God gave us Dragan.
My wife and I raised him as best we could.
He was like any other child.
He went to school, studied,
played, was sick and restless.
Well, he is still a child.
I have no one but him.
He wanted you because you are the best.
Mr. Pazin, please excuse me,
but I have to interrupt you.
I have a rule, I don't
accept political cases.
No, no, no, this is not
a political case. He's my son.
You see, the prosecution has
certain evidence against him,
but they lack a motive.
They don't know what ducat means,
but they very quickly filed
an indictment against him.
With a good lawyer,
I think you stand a chance.
I really feel bad for him,
but I can't defend him.
If you were sorry,
you would take the case.
I had the key, so I went in.
I hope I didn't scare you.
I needed some books.
I came by car, but I won't be able
to carry everything at once.
I also left some things in the bathroom.
I demolished it.
I'm sorry that I burst in like this.
- You should have called, that's all.
- I've sent you a message.
I haven't received anything.
How come?
I didn't get it, really,
but it doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter, in the future
if you want to take anything,
just let me know in advance, that's all.
Well, don't be angry,
I had a tough day.
Yes, I watched press conference.
We have to get it all over with prior to
the elections, otherwise I'm screwed.
Well, fine.
You've been eager for a case like this,
where you can prove yourself.
What's that suppose to mean?
Nothing, just that you got
what you wanted.
I'll take everything now,
so I don't have to come again.
I'll give you a hand.
Sorry, just a minute.
Hello.
I'm on my way.
Well, you order,
and I'll pick it up on the way back.
Fine.
Order for me, too.
Okay, love you too.
Okay, ciao, ciao.
Good luck with the case.
Okay, do you have to be so sarcastic?
I really don't know what's
wrong with wishing you luck?
Well, nothing, if you think
that is the most important thing
that needs to be said now, then ok.
Keys.
RADOVAN KOVAC KILLED
THE KILLER DRAGAN
PAZIN APPREHENDED
This will really hit Nikola.
Well, Nikola is not that sensitive.
I really think he is.
He's just hiding it.
When you suppress everything like that,
you have to crack once.
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
Have you heard about
Father of the accused for the murder
of Kovac HAS COMMITTED SUICIDE
Who took the case?
I can check what's going on.
Let me ask you, who took over
the case of this guy Dragan Pazin?
Yes, and is he in custody?
Okay, yes, yes,
I know who he is.
Thank you, bye.
He is in custody, he didn't have a lawyer,
so they appointed an ex officio attorney.
Who?
Planojevic.
I will take this case.
- Here you are.
- Thank you.
It says that the suspect,
Dragan Pazin,
head of security
for the now deceased Radovan Kovac,
took the life of his employer,
with a large number of blows,
inflicted on the body
with a metal, partially sharpened object.
Black sneakers present main evidence,
the print of which was found on the lawn.
Sneakers were found in
the suspect's apartment.
Analysis revealed traces of the
deceased's blood on them.
Mira Kovac, soon to be ex-wife
of a member of parliament,
is the witness to the murder, who
recognized the suspect in the yard,
by his constitution and facial features.
- Soon to be ex?
- The divorce was underway.
What about this ducat?
We haven't figured out what
it means yet, but we work on it.
Well, you quickly found
the perpetrator and the evidence,
so, I guess, you will do that too.
I hope you understand
what kind of case this is.
This is not like when local hooligan
has been killed, when they stab him.
A member of the parliament was killed.
Fuck it.
It's not the same.
Well, it should be the same.
Yes, it should.
We can't keep assassins
of this rank with the others.
Are you all right?
Yes, yes, I'm fine, it's just
I thought these cellars were out of use.
Fuck it.
I heard that they wanted to assign
the case to that guy Planojevic.
It's good that you took the case.
That guy would have snapped.
I mean, of course, we won't
interfere with defense,
but it is of utmost
importance that we cooperate.
How exactly we should cooperate,
I don't understand?
There's no need for delay,
things are rather clear, right?
Bob, open up.
Look, the boy doesn't know
anything about his dad.
- Nikola.
- Dragan.
Sit down, Dragan.
Be careful, there are rats, you know.
It's cold and it smells bad.
They beat me, brother,
every part of my body aches.
This is a huge injustice, brother.
I didn't kill him.
They needed a scapegoat,
someone to jail right away.
So then they've chosen me.
Dragan
Dragan!
Listen.
You have to tell me everything.
If you took part in the murder
in any way, you must tell me.
I didn't.
AB negative blood type
was found on your sneakers.
Radovan Kovac had the same blood group.
The police and the prosecution will soon
receive the results of the DNA analysis,
and if it turns out to be Kovac's blood,
we have a serious problem.
Where did the blood on
the sneakers come from?
I don't know.
I don't know.
They broke into my apartment,
Drobnjak tied me to the radiator,
they ransacked the apartment, bro,
they could frame me with anything.
The print of the same sneakers was
found in the yard of Kovac's villa.
Mira Kovac claims that
she saw you running away.
She couldn't have seen me
as I wasn't there that day.
I had a day off, I didn't even know
he was killed till Drobnjak told me.
Look,
the evidence against you is strong.
Listen, Nikola,
I know that no one believes me,
and I know that no one cares
what I have to say,
but that's why it's important
to me that you believe me.
I insisted that you come, because
I know that you are not corruptible,
I know that you always work
for yourself and not for others.
I'm telling you,
I didn't kill him.
Man, why would I kill him,
I worked for him.
- I was framed.
- Who set you up?
I don't know, I don't know,
I don't know, I don't know.
I don't know, but I think
that guy Drobnjak did it.
I have something else to tell you.
Your father
What, is he here?
He came?
He killed himself.

me this morning from Manila.
They draw parallels with Djindjic.
Prime Minister also called to say that
we have full support of the government
and that quick indictment
and a strict verdict is a priority.
This is your big case, ha?
You can make a career out of this.
It's crucial that we don't
screw anything up.
If we win, we will win big time.
- But if we lose
- Well, we won't.
That's the spirit!
That's why it's important to be
ready for cooperation, you know
This is not an ordinary case,
it must be treated as such.
Beyond the usual protocols
So that everything would be
over before the elections.
- So will there be any at all?
- Well, I think it will.
Yes, it would be good for Drobnjak
to suggest a defense attorney
to be assigned to little Pazin,
or if the defense is ex officio attorney,
then we should engage
a lawyer from our list
I don't know, maybe Planojevic
or someone like him?
So now the most important thing is
to say that we have solid evidence,
that everything will be over soon, that
this is not a politically motivated murder
and that it will not affect the elections.
- Is that clear?
- Totally.
Come on!
Radovan Kovac, member of parliament
and president of Nasa Serbia party,
was brutally killed in his
home yesterday evening.
Thanks to the effective
operation of the state police,
carried out in coordination
with the higher public prosecutor's
office in Belgrade,
we managed to identify
perpetrator at short notice.
It's Dragan Pazin from
Belgrade, 27 years old.
Otherwise, the late Mr. Kovac's
bodyguard and head of security.
Dragan Pazin has been arrested
and he is currently in custody.
Now I leave the floor to the senior
public prosecutor, Gordana Ivic.
- Please, continue.
- I will be brief.
First of all,
I want to express my condolences
to the family of Radovan Kovac.
Kovac was a friend of mine.
His closest friends, as well as the
parliament and the government,
lost a great fighter for democracy
and national interests.
My deputy, Ana Basta,
who is in charge of this case,
will tell you more about the case itself.
- Ana, here you go.
- Thank you.
Yes, good day everyone.
Well, we don't want to rush
and make premature conclusions
about this case resolution.
It is true that Dragan Pazin
is a suspect in this case.
I am also interested,
but we will be late for the trial.
How did they find the killer so quickly?
Law office Bobic, may I help you?
Bye, Minja.
I'm sorry, he's not in the office,
but you can leave a message.
Didn't Kovac's bodyguard pull
his head out at that rally?
- Is that the same kid?
- I'll check it out right away.
Yes, it is.
Dragan Pazin.
One week you save someone from
being killed, next week you kill him.
Is it possible?
Well, it's a little strange,
I have to admit.
How was the lecture?
Okey, it's always fun with students.
I forgot to tell you,
I met that girl.
- Bojana.
- Yes, I know.
She was at a lecture and referred to you.
You know I don't do that otherwise.
No We don't hang out, but I met
her by chance in the city and
I know that you work hard,
so you will reject her,
that's why,
I felt sorry for her.
- Sure.
- No, that's not really the point.
Minja?
She has boyfriend.
Listen, whatever happens between
the two of you, work must not suffer.
- What you've got?
- Well, I've got dick.
- Nice, dick What else do you have?
- Nothing.
- How come you don't have anything?
- Well, nothing.
Kovac helped people,
fought for his homeland,
was in the opposition and
founded a fund to help refugees,
engaged in humanitarian work,
carried fucking grandmas
across the street, nothing.
Honey, everyone has a secret.
We just have to be the first to
find out what's his.
- Want some?
- I won't, my ass is getting bigger.
Wherever I dig, it turns out they
could only kill him for his honesty.
I need something dirty, greasy
Something altogether tough,
to fall on everyone's head.
I know, but there isn't
anything like that.
Get on this Pazin who has been accused.
Focus on him and we'll see what happens.
That's probably the best thing for us,
there's no one to defend him.
And as for Kovac, all the best about him,
because if we start spitting on him now,
they're going to run us over.
Minja, I can't talk now,
I'm entering the court.
Sorry for disturbing you,
but there is a man here.
He doesn't want to leave,
I don't know what to do.
Which man?
Zvonko Pazin, the father of the
bodyguard accused of the murder.
Tell him to leave his phone
number and I will get back to him.
- He won't leave.
- Then, let him wait. Come on.
It's delicious.
Do you think it's okay that we said
murder was not politically motivated?
- Why?
- Because we're still not sure about that.
Honey, this is not an ordinary case.
When a member of parliament,
the leader of the main opposition
party has been killed.
- Is everything ok?
- Yes, yes.
- Are you okay?
- Thank you.
So, when we have such a case, the
public should be appeased promptly.
We just have to do our job. Okay?
Ana, if you think this
is too difficult a case for you,
if you think you can't handle it,
now is the time to tell me.
No, I don't think so.
Then, eat.
Milica
I'm so sorry about your dad.
Milica!
Thank you for coming.
When have you arrived?
This morning.
But I will depart immediately.
Have you brought
Milena with you?
No, I didn't bring her.
Too bad it was an opportunity
to get to know each other.
It was an opportunity for my child
to look at her grandpa slaughtered.
No, I thought
We could go for a lunch.
Yes, to see you drugged.
- Good afternoon.
- Good afternoon.
I know it's not nice that I waited
for you, but I had nowhere to go.
- Please, come on in.
- Thank you.
Dragan was injured at the rally
when he defended Radovan.
It happened few days ago,
it's in the newspaper.
Is that why you believe
that your son is not guilty?
He isn't.
Please, help him out.
I will sell everything, just to
defend him, I will take out a loan
Please, please, that's not the point.
Tell me, have you ever lost
someone you loved very much?
- Yes, I have.
- Me too.
My wife.
She got cancer.
I worked as a janitor in
the People's Front Clinic,
I knew a doctor, and Stana was
immediately scheduled for surgery.
Blood was needed.
We both had blood type zero.
She was negative, I wasn't.
One mark on the test tube
determines your whole life.
And the answer of yours is like that mark.
Tell me, do you believe in God?
I do.
God gave us Dragan.
My wife and I raised him as best we could.
He was like any other child.
He went to school, studied,
played, was sick and restless.
Well, he is still a child.
I have no one but him.
He wanted you because you are the best.
Mr. Pazin, please excuse me,
but I have to interrupt you.
I have a rule, I don't
accept political cases.
No, no, no, this is not
a political case. He's my son.
You see, the prosecution has
certain evidence against him,
but they lack a motive.
They don't know what ducat means,
but they very quickly filed
an indictment against him.
With a good lawyer,
I think you stand a chance.
I really feel bad for him,
but I can't defend him.
If you were sorry,
you would take the case.
I had the key, so I went in.
I hope I didn't scare you.
I needed some books.
I came by car, but I won't be able
to carry everything at once.
I also left some things in the bathroom.
I demolished it.
I'm sorry that I burst in like this.
- You should have called, that's all.
- I've sent you a message.
I haven't received anything.
How come?
I didn't get it, really,
but it doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter, in the future
if you want to take anything,
just let me know in advance, that's all.
Well, don't be angry,
I had a tough day.
Yes, I watched press conference.
We have to get it all over with prior to
the elections, otherwise I'm screwed.
Well, fine.
You've been eager for a case like this,
where you can prove yourself.
What's that suppose to mean?
Nothing, just that you got
what you wanted.
I'll take everything now,
so I don't have to come again.
I'll give you a hand.
Sorry, just a minute.
Hello.
I'm on my way.
Well, you order,
and I'll pick it up on the way back.
Fine.
Order for me, too.
Okay, love you too.
Okay, ciao, ciao.
Good luck with the case.
Okay, do you have to be so sarcastic?
I really don't know what's
wrong with wishing you luck?
Well, nothing, if you think
that is the most important thing
that needs to be said now, then ok.
Keys.
RADOVAN KOVAC KILLED
THE KILLER DRAGAN
PAZIN APPREHENDED
This will really hit Nikola.
Well, Nikola is not that sensitive.
I really think he is.
He's just hiding it.
When you suppress everything like that,
you have to crack once.
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
Have you heard about
Father of the accused for the murder
of Kovac HAS COMMITTED SUICIDE
Who took the case?
I can check what's going on.
Let me ask you, who took over
the case of this guy Dragan Pazin?
Yes, and is he in custody?
Okay, yes, yes,
I know who he is.
Thank you, bye.
He is in custody, he didn't have a lawyer,
so they appointed an ex officio attorney.
Who?
Planojevic.
I will take this case.
- Here you are.
- Thank you.
It says that the suspect,
Dragan Pazin,
head of security
for the now deceased Radovan Kovac,
took the life of his employer,
with a large number of blows,
inflicted on the body
with a metal, partially sharpened object.
Black sneakers present main evidence,
the print of which was found on the lawn.
Sneakers were found in
the suspect's apartment.
Analysis revealed traces of the
deceased's blood on them.
Mira Kovac, soon to be ex-wife
of a member of parliament,
is the witness to the murder, who
recognized the suspect in the yard,
by his constitution and facial features.
- Soon to be ex?
- The divorce was underway.
What about this ducat?
We haven't figured out what
it means yet, but we work on it.
Well, you quickly found
the perpetrator and the evidence,
so, I guess, you will do that too.
I hope you understand
what kind of case this is.
This is not like when local hooligan
has been killed, when they stab him.
A member of the parliament was killed.
Fuck it.
It's not the same.
Well, it should be the same.
Yes, it should.
We can't keep assassins
of this rank with the others.
Are you all right?
Yes, yes, I'm fine, it's just
I thought these cellars were out of use.
Fuck it.
I heard that they wanted to assign
the case to that guy Planojevic.
It's good that you took the case.
That guy would have snapped.
I mean, of course, we won't
interfere with defense,
but it is of utmost
importance that we cooperate.
How exactly we should cooperate,
I don't understand?
There's no need for delay,
things are rather clear, right?
Bob, open up.
Look, the boy doesn't know
anything about his dad.
- Nikola.
- Dragan.
Sit down, Dragan.
Be careful, there are rats, you know.
It's cold and it smells bad.
They beat me, brother,
every part of my body aches.
This is a huge injustice, brother.
I didn't kill him.
They needed a scapegoat,
someone to jail right away.
So then they've chosen me.
Dragan
Dragan!
Listen.
You have to tell me everything.
If you took part in the murder
in any way, you must tell me.
I didn't.
AB negative blood type
was found on your sneakers.
Radovan Kovac had the same blood group.
The police and the prosecution will soon
receive the results of the DNA analysis,
and if it turns out to be Kovac's blood,
we have a serious problem.
Where did the blood on
the sneakers come from?
I don't know.
I don't know.
They broke into my apartment,
Drobnjak tied me to the radiator,
they ransacked the apartment, bro,
they could frame me with anything.
The print of the same sneakers was
found in the yard of Kovac's villa.
Mira Kovac claims that
she saw you running away.
She couldn't have seen me
as I wasn't there that day.
I had a day off, I didn't even know
he was killed till Drobnjak told me.
Look,
the evidence against you is strong.
Listen, Nikola,
I know that no one believes me,
and I know that no one cares
what I have to say,
but that's why it's important
to me that you believe me.
I insisted that you come, because
I know that you are not corruptible,
I know that you always work
for yourself and not for others.
I'm telling you,
I didn't kill him.
Man, why would I kill him,
I worked for him.
- I was framed.
- Who set you up?
I don't know, I don't know,
I don't know, I don't know.
I don't know, but I think
that guy Drobnjak did it.
I have something else to tell you.
Your father
What, is he here?
He came?
He killed himself.
