Children of Evil (2023) s01e09 Episode Script

1
Recently, Nikola Bobic has been in the
center of attention of Serbian public
when he managed to defend
the only suspect in the case,
Dragan Pažin, at the trial for the
murder of politician Radovan Kovac.
Dragan Pažin was Radovan
Kovac's bodyguard.
After the trial, there were various
speculations, that they just
I can't stand it anymore.
I want to finish this as soon as possible.
THE CHILDREN OF EVIL
Denis!
Denis!
Where are you, brother?
- Got something sweet?
- No.
What's up brother?
Do you have any hideout?
What do you need hideout for?
The police are looking for me,
so I need to hide somewhere.
Drive in the direction of
Pancevo bridge.
Okay.
- What have you done?
- Nothing.
Nothing?
Nothing.
Oh, motherfuckers! That's how
they framed me, you know?
I've spent a month in a dead
Central Prison, completely innocent.
The same story.
Drug Rehab Karlstad
You're okay?
I have to get out of here.
I'll never be fine here.
Hi there!
- Do you have a minute?
- What do you want?
You know what I want.
Where's Nikola?
I don't know.
Better to surrender than to be
chased by the police squad.
I don't know anything
of Nikola's whereabouts.
I know you do, but I don't understand
why you're acting silly.
If they are setting him up,
he'll be better off under our protection.
This is how he gets
involved in bigger shit.
All right, Bell.
If he gets in touch, let me know.
Here we are.
This is the bathroom.
Here you are so that you don't get bored.
Thank you.
Listen, you'll have to do me a favor.
Withdraw money from an ATM
as far as possible from my apartment.
Buy yourself a cell phone,
and you'll leave me yours now.
And buy ten cell cards,
which you will bring to me.
- Here you are!
- Thanks.
I choose this one.
Sure, no problem.
Hang my cell phone around
some stray dog's neck.
Beautiful dog, how pretty you are!
Bravo, come on.
You will call my uncle
and you'll tell him the following
- Can we meet?
- Who is this?
A friend.
Where is he?
He's in my hideout. He told me to
tell you this and to take you to him.
Where to?
Just drive, I'll instruct you
along the way.
Turn right here.
As soon as I put the house on sale,
people started contacting me.
We have several serious offers,
but I think we should wait.
No. It is important that
I sell it as soon as possible.
Are you sure? I can raise the price
by at least twenty percent.
The nouveau riche have a thing
about Dedinje, we can rip them off.
No I will sell to the highest
bidder right now and that's it.
- Fine, as you wish.
- That's right.
It's just a shame, though.
- Such a nice house.
- Nice it is.
They are late.
The previous hearing was postponed
in order for the commission to make
a decision
on the proposals
of Deputy Basta and her proxy.
In this sense,
the commission decided to accept the
proposal for the hearing of Nikola Bobic
and to reject the proposal for the hearing
of the other proposed witnesses.
Excuse me, President
Can you explain to us why
the other proposals were rejected?
Colleague, I kindly ask you not
to speak until I allow you to do so.
The commission came to the conclusion
that inviting these persons
would only unnecessarily prolong
the procedure, which is urgent by law.
We are also of the opinion that it is
quite sufficient to hear colleague Bobic
because the disciplinary prosecutor stated
that he was the person with whom the
defendant had inappropriate contact.
Please. It is common knowledge
that the lawyer Nikola Bobic
is currently
unavailable to state authorities.
I am sure that the commission knows
that a warrant was issued for him.
And that he was remanded in custody.
Dear colleague, please don't make me
enforce order maintenance measures.
Do not speak till you're invited to do so.
Prosecutor, please proceed.
Respected members of the commission.
I think that, as you yourself stated,
further prolongation of the procedure
would only lead to an unnecessary
loss of time
and the creation of additional costs
Proposal to hear colleague Bobic came
from the prosecutor and her attorney.
It would be absurd for the committee
to postpone the hearing again
due to the unavailability
of the proposed witness.
I would like to remind you that the
proposed witness, colleague Bobic,
is on the run because he is suspected
of having committed a serious crime.
More precisely, that he took the life
of inspector Aleksa Drobnjak.
Under such circumstances, I think it
is possible to end this whole matter.
At the same time, not wanting
to be misunderstood,
I think that proposing such
a witness speaks volumes
about the seriousness of
Deputy Basta's defense.
Colleague Basta, please speak up.
Respected members of the Commission,
I have no doubt whatsoever what
your decision will be.
By denying me the opportunity to support
my claims with eyewitness accounts,
you have already made the decision.
However,
I want to tell you something else
I assure you
that whatever you
decide regarding my professional fate,
not much time will pass,
and the real culprits of all this evil
that's happening to us,
the people who
have disgraced Serbian judiciary,
corrupt prosecutors and judges,
will soon be brought to justice.
President, please
Colleague, please don't give
us political speeches here.
Do not abuse your right.
These are not
political speeches, President.
And it is even less about
the abuse of rights.
I'm just raising my voice
against injustice,
which we've all gotten used to here.
And they shouldn't.
I will not allow this process
to turn into a circus.
Instead of the final word,
put in what I just said.
The commission will make
a decision in half an hour.
- How do you know each other?
- We live in the same neigbourhood.
And he trusts you?
Why shouldn't he?
Oh, mother of God
- Give me the lighter.
- I don't have it. Left it in the car.
So, Hajrija is raped in Bjeljina,
and Almir is killed.
That happened at the time when
Kovac and Drobnjak were there.
That's right.
Hajrija wants to have an abortion,
so she heads to Belgrade.
She gives birth to a child
in Belgrade, but leaves him.
She also had another child, besides
the newborn. That happened in 1992.
They are not children anymore.
Maybe now those kids want revenge.
And maybe those kids hired Dragan.
And maybe Dragan is
the child Hajrija gave birth to.
Watch out: he had her photo,
he visited her in the hospital,
the nurse recognized him,
and his father Zvonko worked
as a janitor in the People's Front,
where Hajrija gave birht to a child.
And do we know where Dragan is?
I looked for them at Sonja's,
but they are no longer there.
Where did Dragan's father live?
- I do not know that.
- It doesn't matter
I'll find out through my connections.
Okay.
Everything will be alright.
It will be.
Let's go.
Commission adopted the proposal
of disciplinary prosecutor
and announced deputy senior public
prosecutor in Belgrade, Ana Basta,
responsible for committing
serious disciplinary offense.
At the same time,
the Commission appointed
and imposed a disciplinary sanction
of banning her career
advancement for three years.
In accordance with the legal powers,
after the final decision,
Commission will submit a proposal
for dismissal of deputy Ana Basta.
- Hi, how are you?
- Hi!
Here you go,
this opens all kinds of locks.
Free notice: MTS user is currently
unavailable. Please, try later
- Why didn't you tell me?
- What?
That you knew
Kovac and Drobnjak.
What else have you kept from me?
I didn't want
I didn't want to say anything.
There is nothing to talk about.
Every war is the same.
What have you done?
Village in the vicinity of Bijeljina.
Hazna.
Both Kovac and Drobnjak were there.
Kovac picked me up to join them
He was the commander.
We searched that house on top of the hill,
because weapons were hidden there.
That's what Kovac said.
He was in charge.
What happened in that house?
Drobnjak killed that man.
His name was Almir.
Kovac raped his wife, Hajrija.
And you?
What did you do?
Nothing.
Nothing?
Nothing.
Okay.
Did you shoot?
I didn't.
- And did you rape?
- Yes, I did!
They killed our parents,
I sent you to Serbia
I didn't know what to do with myself,
I was furious.
The devil possessed me.
I wasn't myself back then.
I don't know why I did it.
There's no excuse.
Let's eat.
Sweetheart?
I need to be alone.
Okay.
I won't bother you.
You need to get away, Sonja.
Where should I go?
I found a guy who will take you
across the border without documents.
I don't want to go without you.
- You have to, Sonja! You have to.
- No!
- You have to!
- I want to go with you!
Do you hear me?
I don't want to go!
You cannot stay, either!
- Why are you doing this?
- Because I have to!
Fuck you!
Fuck you!
Fuck you!
I mean, I didn't want to talk
until I was sure, but
I think he's next.
And now Nikola is not here
I don't know who will
defend him at the trial
I don't know what will happen there.
- Hello!
- Hello, it's me.
Listen, my Branko was in Bijeljina
with Drobnjak and Kovac.
I don't understand? How come?
I'm afraid, he'll be next.
And now I just don't know if it's
If it's better for him to stay in prison
or should we try to somehow get him out
Well, he'll better be inside for now.
Look, find Milan.
Tell him to go to trial
and inform them that all this happened
to me suddenly, unexpectedly.
They failed
to find an adequate replacement
And let him request
a postponement of the hearing.
Just, just pass it on to him.
He will know what to do.
Okay.
That's it And don't worry.
All this will pass
Bye.
Bye.
Here it is.
You should go into their yard
and put this on their car.
- It is a GPS tracking device.
- I know what it is.
Can you do that?
No, you can!
Oh, the mother of God
- Was I good, Inspector?
- I'm no longer an inspector.
I know you aren't, but the rumor has
it that you were quite dangerous
When you cross the border,
give him the rest of the money.
Find a hostel there and wait for me.
We have to go, love.
A man is waiting for us.
Everything will be okay, trust me.
It won't.
Here they are
Keep watch and shout
if someone comes along.
There he is, that's him.
Come on.
Sonja, come on, please, let's not argue
We will pay a man to transport
you across the border,
wait for me in some hostel there,
I'm coming.
Okay, don't say that again.
Love you so much.
I love you, too.
- So, Bušatlija was blackmailed with this.
- Yes.
Can that help us to somehow stop
Nikola's arrest?
My father's colleague is
a prosecutor for organized crime.
I could try to talk to him.
Okay, you understand that
this is completely illegally obtained?
Yes.
We'll stop by the gas station
just to get some coffee
Then we'll head towards the border.
Do you need something?
You think I'm a fool, don't you?
My friends know my girls,
do you understand?
You should have told me
that you wanted to go abroad,
so I would have organized
something for you.
Not like this.
Novakovic?
Your attorney is not here today
even though the office
received notice on today's hearing.
Are you in contact with him?
No.
Colleague?
I assume that you are here on behalf
of the Bobic office?
Yes, Honorable Chairman. My principal
is away, I think you know the reasons.
You mean, we were informed
through the media?
I expected that the office would
send an explanation of the absence,
or at least a statement from
the defendant to seek a new lawyer
You Honor, all this happened
in the last couple of days
So, we really didn't have time
to manage this properly.
I am asking you to give us
a reasonable time frame
in which we could inform you
about how the defense of the defendant
will be organized in the future.
Colleague, what do you say?
The Prosecution proposes
that you appoint an ex officio
defense attorney for the defendant,
and then proceed with the trial.
- Chairman, excuse me
- Please, continue.
I think that it is of utmost importance
that we give the defendant the opportunity
to choose his own counsel in this case.
All right.
Thank you.
Novakovic, what do you say?
I think I will burn in hell pretty soon.
Please? What did he say?
You have to be louder, sorry.
It doesn't matter if I go out now.
I am a sinner
and I will burn in hell.
This whole trial makes no sense.
Quiet!
We are postponing
the further process of the trial
due to the absence of the defendant
Novakovic's defense counsel.
The court orders the Bobic office
to appoint a new defense attorney
who will continue the process
within eight days.
Otherwise, the court will assign
a defense attorney ex officio.
I wouldn't call you if it wasn't urgent.
I know.
Do you know that Bobic
was accused of Drobnjak's murder?
I know.
He didn't do it.
- Why do you interfere in that?
- Because everything is set up.
Both Gordana and Bušatlija are implicated.
What about Bobic's gun that
was found at the crime scene?
I know, that's why it's complicated.
That's why I need if you to postpone
the arrest for a few days.
Here's evidence that Bušatlija was
blackmailed by photos with some men.
There are also photos of Pažin's sneakers.
One pair of sneakers are genuine,
and the other's planted by Bušatlija.
Here's a video of Gordana
trying to blackmail me
into not revealing the truth about
everything that happened during the trial.
About the pressures exerted
by the authorities
to finish everything
prior to the elections,
and about secret meeting
with Minister Milutinovic and Bušatlija.
We need to talk.
I don't think you want it on the street.
You replaced Dragan's
sneakers in the court deposit.
I don't know what you're talking about.
I know they blackmailed you.
Now I have those photos.
Do you want me to show them to you?
Do you want me to show
them to someone else?
What do you want?
Tell me if you replaced the sneakers
in the court deposit.
I did!
Who told you to do that?
I don't know!
They sent me photos,
they blackmailed me.
I don't know, we only spoke on the phone.
You thought letting a killer go was better
than someone finding out you
were screwing with men?
Yes.
I need your help.
To prevent the arrest of little Bobic.
I know they found his gun
But he was framed.
- It's his father's Beretta.
- I know.
Djordje killed himself
because of the setup.
And you know it wasn't his fault.
Now, Nikola is being accused.
Listen,
they are about to find him very soon.
They have some contact that
informs them from the beginning.
You should be aware of that.
He's somewhere in town.
That just need to find a room.
How long could you postpone it?
That's fucked up.
We were silent when Djordje was concerned.
And we knew he was not guilty.
I can push the brake for a while.
But it's clear to you
that I can't hold it much?
If nothing happens in a few days,
we will have to let him go down
the drain, you know that.
