- Who squeezed this?
- Bartender.
- Come on try this.
- Try?
Yes, try it.
- Do you feel it?
- What?
Well, try some more. Water!
Do you feel it? He poured water.
- Do you want me to get you a new one?
- No, I won't, just take it away.
I've fucking had enough!
Is it that hard to cut three
oranges and squeeze them?
Shut up!
- Well, hello!
- Hello.
What's up?
New guy, huh? Is he any good?
Well, he's a candy, just look at him.
- What are you going to drink?
- Mineral water.
An impeccable businessman
That's why I like you.
Look at my new girls.
They are quite good.
But that's not why I'm here.
I am interested where's this guy.
What does he do, who he works with,
why he does it.
Can do, even without money,
Candy will do it out of love.
But
we need a favor.
A week before he was killed,
I gave Kovac eighty thousand to settle
my verdict in the Supreme Court.
We have already drawn Mira Kovac's
attention to this debt,
but it would be good
if you could talk to her
so that it can be resolved quickly and
easily for everyone. You know her, right?
Yes.
You've heard what you need to do.
THE CHILDREN OF EVIL
- Do you know who might do this?
- I don't know anyone who hangs dogs.
- Should we call the police?
- No.
- Are you sure?
- Yes, I'm sure.
Go get your things,
I'll drop you home.
I don't want to go home.
What are we going to do now?
Motherfuckers!
Motherfuckers!
Neighbor!
- Hello!
- Hello. Let me ask you
This camera here, above the door.
It's not functional.
I have been talking about it at the
house council for three years now.
I am advocating that it be fixed,
but no one will pay.
Well, I can't give from my own pocket.
What happened?
Did something happen?
I left my bike in front of the door
It disappeared during the night.
You don't say
Goddamn it!
Perhaps you saw someone
suspicious coming in or out
Well, I didn't see anyone.
If you happen to hear anything about
someone going in or out or something,
feel free to let me know.
Thank you.
All right, all right.
Well, now the main question is
whether you want a corner set
or we can make a combination.
Sofa plus two armchairs,
or three armchairs.
Or one two-seater, one
three-seater, or four armchairs,
of the same or different colors
It all depends on what kind of
living room you have
and what kind of walls you have.
Shall we wait or will
the two of us continue?
Let's wait.
Okay.
What are we going to do?
Can you give us five minutes, please?
Who called you?
Luka. Tomorrow's
parent-teacher conference.
Why are you looking at me like that?
When you talk on the phone,
you always turn away from me.
When someone calls me,
I answer rightaway.
You're hiding something
from me, aren't you?
Well, I am.
That night in the pub,
Nikola followed me into the toilet.
Why didn't you tell me that?
And why don't you tell me things?
And why is Mira Kovac calling you?
- That's business.
- What business?
And what happened when he got inside?
Nothing.
So why didn't you tell me?
Why didn't you tell me
that you knew Kovac?
It has nothing to do with it.
How's that when you were
on the battlefield together?
- We were, and?
- And then what happened?
And then he went into politics,
and I choose my own way.
Did Nikola insert the worm of doubt?
Please, stop it. I really don't
care about Nikola. Really
- And about me?
- I care about you.
- Why don't you believe me, then?
- Excuse me
I just want to check how it's going?
Are we going to take this one, huh?
Yes?
Do you have time
to go through Branko's case?
Yes, I have.
Sit down.
Have you been to see him?
- I am.
- And?
He's completely disinterested
As if he doesn't care whether
he'll be released or not.
I'm afraid that it could make a bad
impression in front of the judges.
He is unreliable, I don't know
what he could say.
- And what do you think, is he guilty?
- I don't know. He's weird.
Okay. He should admit
that he was the driver.
But he believed that they were
only going to rob that woman;
that he had no idea about the murder.
He should also emphasize
that he regrets having participated in
the robbery in the first place.
But that he was forced to do so because
he could not find a job for a long time.
And how can we convince
him to give such a statement?
You should have seen him
He's kind of
He's not well.
Well, we will mention Bojana.
Well, we will mention Bojana.
We will say thatthat she wants
to help him, to take care of him,
that she needs a brother on the loose.
I need to cut back on the coffee.
Hi!
- Leko, is he here, maybe?
- He's not.
- And when will he come?
- I don't know; he is no longer alive.
I didn't know.
He and my father
were friends once upon a time.
I know.
- Father once brought me to your place.
- Did he?
Yes, when we were kids, you and
I played in the yard with a ball.
Yes, yes
I remember, I remember, yes.
I don't know, maybe you could help me?
I'm listening?
It's so blurry.
- You don't have this ducat with you?
- No.
I can't see the work, you know.
And one detail can define a century!
- Tell me, are you married?
- No. I'm not. You?
- Right after I graduated.
- Nice. Do you have any kids?
- Four kids.
- Congratulations.
You see, this ducat of yours
is part of a necklace, you know.
If I could see him live,
I could judge, you know.
Yes, but that photo is all I have.
Now, from those letters, I could
say that he is about the age of
What age is it?
Well, about one hundred years,
I think maybe more.
- And a necklet is a necklace?
- An array of ducats
An array of ducats
Here, you see.
This one is part of the
national costume, you know.
Now, according to how big necklace was,
what kind of necklace it was,
it was determined how
wealthy the family was.
And where could one find
such a ducat? I mean, is it rare?
Not really, they are everywhere.
Now, where exactly
is this one to be found
I don't know.
You can't do that.
You'll be in all the papers.
I know.
You will get fired.
You will seriously expose certain people.
So you will defend me.
Let me defend you in court.
But I can't defend you in a hall,
when someone finds you in the trunk.
- No one will harm me
- Ana!
If tomorrow at the disciplinary meeting
you say everything
you think you're going to say
You know the consequences.
I will not pay back his debts.
What will they do, what will they
do now. What? Kill me?
Let them kill me, Peca Chechen.
I don't really care.
This is a team I wouldn't
mess up with that easily.
It's not my debt!
I won't give that money either!
You don't have to return them.
You will give me half to take,
and then I will ask them
to wait for the other half.
Wait, why are you interfering
in Radovan's debt?
Because Peca Chechen
always collects his money.
You've made a deal to get your part
if you get something out of me, right?
I feel sorry for you.
I want to help you.
You feel sorry for your mom
What do you think, that I didn't
understand what was happening?
Okay, then I don't give a damn.
- Did you kill him?
- What did you say?
You made a deal with that Peca,
you killed him together.
Now you want money, huh?
Shut the fuck up!
What a sissy!
- Hello, neighbor.
- Hello.
Have you, by any chance, seen my Marlena?
No, I haven't.
Looks like she ran away again.
But she will come back for sure.
Slavko says that someone
stole your bike, too.
I didn't chained it, yes. Yes.
What is going on
- Goodbye.
- Good bye. Have a nice day.
According to everything we could see
in the media in the previous period,
indluding the data we collected
in the meantime,
there is a well-founded suspicion
that Ana Basta, who is present here,
contrary to the prosecutor's code,
made inappropriate contact with the
defense attorney of the defendant
in the case she acted.
You can still change your mind
Such behavior reached the public,
which dealt with scandal for weeks.
That led to a severe violation of
citizens' trust in public prosecutor.
That's why I'm asking for the most severe
disciplinary sanction to be imposed.
And following it becomes legally binding,
the competent authority should
initiate the dismissal procedure.
Deputy Basta, what do you say?
Do you accept the allegations
of the disciplinary prosecutor?
No. Honorable committee,
I do not accept these allegations.
So from all that was heard,
it's only true that I've established
contact with my colleague Bobic.
But the nature of that contact
was quite different
from what the prosecutor represents.
Can you explain exactly
what do you mean by that?
I say, it is true that I met
with colleague Bobic,
but our meeting
was organized based on the instructions
I received from my boss,
prosecutor Gordana Ivic.
After she found out that colleague
Bobic took over the case,
she asked me to meet with him, to talk,
and to suggest to him that he shouldn't
delay case against Dragan Pažin,
for the sake of efficiency.
So, under her pressures,
I exclusively examined the possibility
of shortening the procedure
so that everything would be
completed prior to the election.
I hope it is clear to you
that you're making serious accusations
against prosecutor Ivic.
I suppose that for what you are saying,
you can also offer some kind of evidence.
I understand completely,
Honorable Chairman.
Fortunately,
there are several witnesses.
Therefore, immediately before
my contact with my colleague Bobic,
prosecutor invited me to her cabinet for a
meeting, where the case was discussed,
and which was attended by the
Minister of Justice, Stevan Milutinovic,
and Judge Goran Bušatlija.
Wait, please. Let's get back to
the subject of the proceedings.
I am referring to the subject of
the proceedings, Mr. Chairman.
I was accused of engaging
in inappropriate relations
with the defendant's lawyer.
I'm just telling you how it happened.
Chairman, if I may.
We would suggest
witnesses for these allegations.
My client mentioned Judge Goran
Bušatlija and Minister Stevan Milutinovic
as participants in the meeting
where there was talk
of contacting colleague Bobic.
We believe that it is necessary to hear
them because of these claims.
Chairman! I think we're getting off topic.
Allow me. Of course, we would
suggest hearing colleague Bobic.
He would certainly explain to us
in the best
way what was discussed
during the controversial meeting.
Due to all of the above,
the hearing is postponed
so that the committee has the
chance to consider these proposals.
The next hearing will be
subsequently announced.
Excuse me,
My name's Bojana Novakovic.
I know very well who you are,
you wrote an article about me.
Yes, but now I would like
to write a new one.
- Is this some prank?
- No.
Are you still working
for that creepy tabloid?
- Yes.
- Then we have nothing to talk about.
Wait!
Now I want to do it right. I think
the public must know the truth.
Don't worry, I won't publish
the text without your consent.
I'll write a short introduction
about the trial,
about everything that
preceded the disciplinary one,
and of course about what happened today.
Don't screw me this time.
I won't.
What no one expected was that Ana
Basta would publicly accuse minister,
the judge and the chief prosecutor,
alleging that they held a secret meeting
regarding the case
at which the decision was made
to end everything before the election.
Such claims caused different reactions,
both among representatives
of political parties and among lawyers.
Was the trial really rigged?
Get some while it's still warm.
I'm not hungry.
Everyone is already talking about
disciplinary hearing.
I know.
- And what will happen now?
- I do not know.
Maybe you shouldn't have told them
everything.
But I did.
Because I don't want
to mess around and lie anymore.
- That's something on my account?
- Yes.
What do you want from me?
I want you to tell me
everything that you
know about Kovac's murder.
And if you're involved in
any way, I want to know.
You go fuck yourself!
Tell those reporters that ministry
will make an official announcement,
and tell them to leave immediately.
If they won't go away,
then drive them away.
Haven't you screwed up
enough with the verdict?
Now that drool is calling me names
and asking me to testify.
The government hasn't been formed yet,
the coalition partners
are still being saught for,
and now I have to go through
the tabloids and sort out your shit.
Gordana, I don't care what you do.
You know what will happen if you fail.
- I know.
- You do know?
I know.
When you came here, I told you:
"You will be a prosecutor."
Please don't make me do your work
and clean up after you.
You recall that even then
there were a lot of candidates,
and that I had to stand up
for you in order for you to be chosen.
I don't know what else to do,
I don't know how to reason with her.
I don't know.
Do I need to teach you how to do it?
Call her,
threaten her.
Or offer her something.
Find someone who can influence her.
If you think it's of any help,
I can resign.
Now you have to sit here.
You took care of that snake,
Borka from The Investigator.
You'll fix this too.
This is going to be the real bomb.
It was rather chaotic at
the disciplinary hearing.
She did not give an interview to anyone.
We will be the first.
- No, we can't.
- No, but I'll I'll make a story.
And I'll add a nice introduction,
everything.
- Do you hear me?
- I will not spare her, Borka
You cannot publish an interview
with Ana Basta
in which she spits on the prosecution.
Why not?
Well, because I say so,
and I'm your superior.
When you have your own newspaper,
you can write whatever you want.
But I promised her!
Well, you don't give a damn
when it goes over my back.
But this is important.
This is a finished story.
Interview with Ana Basta is forbidden
in this newspaper, do you understand?
Yes
- Are you sure?
- Yes.
Hello?
Hello, Mira Kovac speaking.
Oh, hello!
Hello!
Could the two of us meet?
When?
Well, now.
I think this can't wait.
- Where?
- My place, in an hour.
- Agreed.
- Thank you.
You see how it can be done nicely,
through the gate, not over it.
Well, yes
Shall we have a glass of whiskey?
I prefer vodka,
if that's all right with you.
I resent to drink alone.
What I wanted to say is that I
That evening I haven't seen
Pažin in the yard.
I haven't seen him.
Well, you should have told that in court.
Aleksa said that he saw him.
Aleksa Drobnjak?
Drobnjak saw Pažin
that evening in the yard.
Wait, what was
What was Drobnjak
doing in the house that evening?
My husband, the deceased,
he led his own life,
he was constantly seeing
these women, and no, it
It wasn't a problem.
We divorced because he was paranoid.
Drobnjak should have taken photos
of him with those hookers that night.
Those photos would be my security
to get what is due from the divorce.
Radovan didn't want to give me anything.
I would pay Drobnjak handsomely.
It was pure business between us.
But then instead of a whore, he saw Pazin.
Or at least he said he saw him.
He lied.
He lied about seeing him.
Well, that's what I thought too.
What would he be lying about
if he said he saw him?
You know why he lied?
Because he killed him.
Why would I believe you now?
You're paranoid too?
You are.
You are all paranoid.
Aleksa and people to whom
Radovan owed big money,
I think they joined
because of that money.
And now they are asking me for that money,
and I won't give it to them.
Yes?
I wouldn't call you,
but I don't know what to do.
Why?
He entered her building.
If necessary, I will go in after him.
No need, you are free.
- Are you alone?
- Why?
Can I come in for five minutes?
Thanks.
Listen to me
I have evidence that Drobnjak
was involved in Kovac's murder.
Come on, Nikola,
what are you talking about?
Listen, listen, listen to me!
I was with Mira Kovac.
She told me that she did not see
Dragan at all.
She wasn't there at all.
Drobnjak was in the house that
night when the murder happened.
He allegedly saw
Dragan running away,
and he induced Mira Kovac
to testify falsely, you understand?
Okay, how do you know
Mira isn't lying?
- I know.
- How do you know?
I know, I know, because
I talked to her.
I know, god damn it,
I saw a woman.
Listen to me carefully.
- He is a dangerous man.
- Nikola, don't do this, please.
Ana listen to me, he is a dangerous man.
- You need to break up with him.
- Listen I mean
You have to. Ana, you have to
break up with him. You understand?
So Nikola, he has flaws, he did
all kinds of things in his life,
but I know he didn't kill Kovac.
- How do you know that? How?
- I just know.
Because I know him, Nikola.
What the hell are you talking about?
What are you talking about?
Who do you know? You were
with that man for three months,
you were with me for five years.
You know him.
- Six years.
- Yes, six!
Yes, but I got to know him better in
three months than you in six years.
I know him, man,
I live with that man.
I sleep with him, I wake up
next to him, man.
You trust him more than me!
You trust him more than me!
Look at yourself, how you look like
You're paranoid,
you connected some things that have
nothing to do with the truth.
If you have any evidence,
go to the police.
Don't come here anymore.
Get out.
Get out!
You're wrong. You have
no idea how wrong you are.
- Hey, do you have a cigarette?
- I don't!
- What did I tell you?
- What's the matter?
I know who you are,
I know what you do!
What do you know?
I know you were
in the house on the murder night,
I know you lied in court, I know you
forced Mira Kovac to testify falsely.
You freed the killer and you
can't stand Ana's not with you.
If something happens to Ana
If you ever come
near Ana again,
I will kill you.
Yes?
Hello?
Bojana: I have published
the interview with you.
Prosecutor and minister forced
me to meet secretly with Bobic
