THE CHILDREN OF EVIL
What happened?
They found you barefoot
in front of the building.
You fell in the middle of the street,
almost to be hit by a car.
Why do you mix alcohol and drugs?
Drobnjak killed Kovac.
I had a fight with him last night.
Mira Kovac told me everything.
Drobnjak is dead.
He was killed last night.
He was butchered just like Kovac,
including a gold coin in his hand.
Do you want me to order something?
Yes, go ahead.
Hello?
How are you, Goran?
We haven't heard from each other
in a while.
Yeah, we haven't.
Who is leading the investigation
into Drobnjak's murder?
Jovan Glisic, junior inspector
who used to be his partner.
- Do they have anything yet?
- I do not know that.
Find out.
I will.
I'll call you tonight.
If you don't pick up, tomorrow you won't
have a job, or a wife, you know that?
I know, but the situation
is not so simple.
The police are furious.
Their colleague was killed.
Oh, well!
So, what are you doing, kitty?
How, how did you get in?
Feel free to sit down.
Did Drobnjak tell you about us?
What's up, kitty, you're tongue-tied?
Did he talk to you or not?
Maca's tongue is tied.
Listen to me, kitty.
Kovac owes us eighty thousand.
Then you go to Kovac.
- Well, I don't have that money.
- You have enough for horse snorting.
What that has to do
I don't have money to cover
other people's debts.
Do you live in his mansion?
You live.
Then you have to pay back his debt.
This is not just his villa.
- Hey, just wait a minute
- Listen to me
Well, I'm absolutely not interested.
I want my eighty thousand.
Can we hear each other, child?
You have seven days.
Vesko! Vesko!
Vesko!
Okay, it's enough!
How are you?
I'm fine.
I'm feeling well.
You don't look well.
Is that so?
I'm asking you seriously.
Nurse says they had to wash
your stomach and.
I know everything, but I screwed up,
trust me. It's not that scary at all.
- When was the last time you saw him?
- Last night.
He came to the building
but did not enter the apartment.
Did he come to the building
or did he enter the building?
I don't know,
I saw him through the window.
Then?
Then, I called him and he didn't answered.
He didn't respond
And was there anything else?
Did anything else happen last night?
No.
Do you have a cigarette?
Thank you.
My wife is rather strict.
As if I'm gonna die from one
Maybe I will.
Tell me, did you know this neighbor
who was killed last night?
Yes, he moved in recently.
But I know neighbor Ana.
I mean, I knew him by sight;
Polite man.
Did you maybe see him last night?
Why?
I am Inspector Glišic,
I lead the investigation.
Cop, huh? Fuck it.
What a pity. You're so young.
I saw him last night,
he was there with some guy.
With what guy?
Hell, now if I say what the name is,
you're going to call me to testify.
And then I'll be chased by criminals.
I know how it goes.
Sir, it's only in the movies, believe me.
I know how it goes
Well, your neighbor was killed.
Wouldn't you want it resolved
as soon as possible, to feel safe?
Where should I feel safe?
In Serbia?
Look, I just went out for a cigarette.
Then I saw the two of them
arguing about Ana.
And then the neighbor hit the other one.
Tell me, please
Was it this guy?
Yes, it was.
- Thanks for the cigarette.
- Likewise, sir.
I forgot something, sorry.
Neighbors told me that Nikola Bobic
was here last night.
Yes, he came by.
You forgot to tell me that?
It doesn't matter.
Has he met Aleksa?
I don't know if they met. Nikola only came
to the door to talk, and then he left.
What did you talk about?
About everything that is happening
in the media concerning the case.
Give me his contact number.
Where's the report for 2020?
Here you go.
- Make a copy for me, please.
- Wait just a moment.
What's going on?
Do you know what kind
of crap you did to me?
Did you see those two idiots over there?
You brought finance police on my back.
I know I shouldn't have
published the interview.
Well, you don't know
If you knew, you wouldn't do it.
No, I know that's not fair to you.
And I won't put you
in that situation again.
You won't because I'm firing you.
Fuck it, I like you,
but I can't make any more mistakes.
You can pick up your things tomorrow.
God damn it!
God damn it!
Hey, I have something for you.
What is it?
A gift.
Call me to grab a drink, when you're free.
It's me.
Hello, honey.
Dear Ana!
- You keep the door unlocked?
- Only at bedtime.
- I made some tea, do you want tea?
- I do.
There is some Chinese white tea,
it's excellent.
Ana, do you want to stay with us?
Also, a person can have suicidal
thoughts for no particular reason.
But it most often occurs as a result
of a psychological disorder,
or a traumatic life event,
such as, for example: breakup, illness,
loss of job or loved one,
suicide in the family.
Yes, but I didn't try to kill myself.
Okay, so why did you mix Ksalol,
Zoloft and alcohol?
I wanted to relax.
One can relaxes with
a couple of glasses of wine,
not with a handful of drugs.
Well, it depends on the person.
You were on the edge.
If they brought you half an hour later,
it would have been too late.
- Okay, are you insane, man?
- Why?
Do you think that
I tried to kill myself?
I dont know what to think.
You tell me yourself.
Are you still going to sessions,
with doctor Komazec?
- Yes, I am.
- Well, what she's been doing, then?
- Take me home.
- Don't get mad.
- I am not mad.
- You're going to my place
- Just for a couple of days
- I'm not mad, really, thanks.
Take me home, I want to go to Papic.
- You want to go to Papic?
- Yes.
Don't worry about me.
I just need a break from everything.
That's exactly what Djordje told me.
Hello?
How are you?
I really had a good time with him.
Everything was somehow easygoing with him.
I laughed with him.
I know they say all kinds
of things about him,
and probably some things are true,
but he had another side.
And you, I was just waiting for you
to do something like this
You were always on the edge.
Did you really try to kill yourself?
- I don't know.
- God damn it, Nikola! Don't do that!
Ana, I called you just to tell you that
That I'm sorry for everything.
Don't worry.
Bye.
Hello?
Listen, can you check for me
if Nikola Bobic is still in hospital?
I can't get hold of him for two days.
First he was unavailable,
and now he doesn't respond.
Come on, please, do that.
Bye.
You're a spitting image of your dad!
I have despised him for twenty years.
Because he was selfish,
because he left us
Because he gave up like a coward,
twenty years
And now I did the same.
I don't know, I thought it could
never happen to me, but
now I feel like I am falling apart,
piece by piece
Every normal person sometimes thinks
about suicide, it's nothing terrible.
Only a fool can stand such a world.
Nikola, I just don't know
why you're rushing something
that's going to happen on its own anyway.
I do not know. I don't know,
but I have to sort myself out,
I have to pull myself together
I have to stop with
I have to do this!
I have to do that!
That feeling that you have to do
something has brought you here.
You are lost because you have to do
something. I have to do that, this
I have to finish university,
I have to be the best lawyer,
I have to be like my father,
I have to be better than my father
I have to prove to everyone
that I am not weak,
I have to restore my family reputation
I have to do this
I have to do that
All your thoughts and concerns
present a kind of burden
that has been accumulating
in your head for years.
You would like to make something
right, to introduce change,
but you don't even know what.
What do you have to do?
Only when you don't have to do anything,
you can do everything.
Gorica, honey, please prepare
that potion of mine for Nikola.
At first, the body reacts
rather violently
You will feel nausea
since it is a strong hallucinogen.
Try not to throw up for
the first half an hour.
Try to hold
on until it starts working.
You go to the place that
is most destructive in you.
Face the pain, and then
the pain will gradually disappear.
Nikola!
My son!
Mother!
Nikola, my son, look at this one.
Take it easy
Let it sink in
- Hello?
- Hello?
- Inspector Glisic speaking.
- Good afternoon. I'm listening
Can you come to the police
station so that we can talk?
About what?
Did you hear that
Inspector Aleksa Drobnjak was killed?
Well, we need to conduct
an informative interview.
All right, I will be there.
Ana, how are you?
It would be nice to see
you one of these days?
Why?
Well, we need to talk about something.
It's important.
Come on, stay strong.
- Here's your tea.
- Thank you.
Well, how are you?
Okay, okay.
It was quite a struggle to reach you.
When was the last time
you saw Aleksa Drobnjak?
Two or three days ago.
Two days ago you could
only see him in the morgue.
Then three days ago.
It's actually the same
night he was killed.
I suppose so. I don't know.
You know better.
Where did you see him?
Vracar. In front of
Ana Basta's building.
- What were you doing there?
- I visited Ana briefly
Upon leaving her, I met Aleksa
Drobnjak on the street, passing by.
Why were you at her place?
I dropped by. Ana and I have
known each other for years.
And what were you talking about?
- Ana and me?
- You and Aleksa.
He asked me what I was doing there.
I told him that I was at Ana's place.
That's it. More or less.
More or less, that's it. To tell you
the truth, I don't remember
I had an accident,
I fell and hit my head.
What happened afterwards?
I went home, afterwards.
- You live alone?
- Yes, I live alone.
- Were you alone that evening?
- Yes.
And what did you do when you got home?
I got drunk, I fell, I ended up
in the emergency room.
Newspapers are full of my photos.
Sorry, this sounds a bit like an
interrogation to me. Am I a suspect?
No no no, you don't have to defend
yourself, I'm not attacking you.
But there is an eyewitness
who said that he saw you and Aleksa
Drobnjak arguing and fighting.
And that was two hours
before he was killed.
Am I a suspect?
Not for now.
Okay. When I become one,
feel free to look for me
Now I'd like to go.
Thank you.
So whom you love the most
in the world, mom, right?
Come onthrow it!
Well done, well done!
Look at this!
Look! Come on!
Milica!
- Do you have a headache?
- Nope.
- Don't lie to me.
- I don't have a headache.
You will never admit when
something is wrong with you,
but I can tell, you know.
I don't know if you are still interested,
but I found something.
- Where did you get this from?
- A colleague of mine gave me.
Did she tell you that she knew Kovac?
No, no She didn't.
Please send this to me.
You know what I would give if I were
your age, if I haven't wasted my life?
You know, I would never deal
with that, well, nonsense.
Why don't you travel somewhere,
Morocco, America, the sea
Take the chick to the beach, man.
Why don't I have someone
to go to the sea with?
Sonja knew Kovac.
Whores are communicative,
they know a lot of people.
- It doesn't mean a thing.
- Yes, but why didn't she tell me that?
- Let it go.
- Bell, she knows something.
Fuck it.
I can't believe I fell asleep.
What's happening?
Nothing. I don't know, maybe
you shouldn't have come at all
Who knows when this guy will come out.
Are you first shift tomorrow?
I don't go to work.
I got fired.
You got fired? Really? Why?
Well, I posted something
that shouldn't be posted
What?
Interview with Ana.
Shit! I've screwed you all.
All of you!
Come on, don't give me that crap, please!
I did it because I wanted to,
and that's it.
And I'm sick of it.
Do you know what time it is?
Why didn't you tell me?
- What?
- That you knew Kovac!
And who are you to tell you?
- Why should I tell you?
- What are you hiding?
Did Kovac come to watch you dance?
Did you fuck him?
Tell me!
Kovac protected my boss from the law.
He gave him girls in return.
He specifically asked for me.
Now I just dance,
but it wasn't always like that.
Kovac liked all kinds of sick shit,
and I could bear the pain best.
Here's the truth.
One day he slaps me,
the next he says he loves me,
buys me things, acts gently
Then he tortures me again, and so on.
What I survived, you never will
And everyone gets what they deserve.
What do you have to do with his murder?
Nothing!
Does Dragan know about this, Sonja?
He has nothing to do with anything.
Please, he must not find out.
How is it possible
that the photo you bought at the flea
market shows a woman with ducats,
ducats were found in Drobnjak's
and Kovac's hand.
How is that possible?
Kovac gave me that photo. I lied to
Dragan that's from the flea market.
Are you kidding me?
Do you think I'm an idiot?
I couldn't tell it was a gift from Kovac,
he would have been angry.
- That's why I lied.
- Why did he give you this?
It was on the shelf, I liked it
- Who is this woman?
- I don't know.
- How come you don't know, who is this?
- I don't fucking know!
Those dangerous things you got into.
What does it mean?
Exactly what I said.
Get some rest.
I will.
Talk to you later.

Fuck it.
I can't believe I fell asleep.
What's happening?
Nothing. I don't know, maybe
you shouldn't have come at all
Who knows when this guy will come out.
Are you first shift tomorrow?
I don't go to work.
I got fired.
You got fired? Really? Why?
Well, I posted something
that shouldn't be posted
What?
Interview with Ana.
Shit! I've screwed you all.
All of you!
Come on, don't give me that crap, please!
I did it because I wanted to,
and that's it.
And I'm sick of it.
Do you know what time it is?
Why didn't you tell me?
- What?
- That you knew Kovac!
And who are you to tell you?
- Why should I tell you?
- What are you hiding?
Did Kovac come to watch you dance?
Did you fuck him?
Tell me!
Kovac protected my boss from the law.
He gave him girls in return.
He specifically asked for me.
Now I just dance,
but it wasn't always like that.
Kovac liked all kinds of sick shit,
and I could bear the pain best.
Here's the truth.
One day he slaps me,
the next he says he loves me,
buys me things, acts gently
Then he tortures me again, and so on.
What I survived, you never will
And everyone gets what they deserve.
What do you have to do with his murder?
Nothing!
Does Dragan know about this, Sonja?
He has nothing to do with anything.
Please, he must not find out.
How is it possible
that the photo you bought at the flea
market shows a woman with ducats,
ducats were found in Drobnjak's
and Kovac's hand.
How is that possible?
Kovac gave me that photo. I lied to
Dragan that's from the flea market.
Are you kidding me?
Do you think I'm an idiot?
I couldn't tell it was a gift from Kovac,
he would have been angry.
- That's why I lied.
- Why did he give you this?
It was on the shelf, I liked it
- Who is this woman?
- I don't know.
- How come you don't know, who is this?
- I don't fucking know!
Those dangerous things you got into.
What does it mean?
Exactly what I said.
Get some rest.
I will.
Talk to you later.
