Original subtitles

What are you thinking about?

A farm.

A house.

You and me back home.

Or we could live here.

It'll be different when the war's over.

Lejla!

Lejla!

My brother.

Locke!

Where the fuck have you been?

Sorry, Sarge.

Just around.

Just around?

Are you dense?

You've got to be fucking kidding me.

You've only been here two months.

Once again, thank you for dinner, Mr. Ibrahimović.

Of course, our people are glad to see that at least UN are here.

Nice of you to join us, Locke.

Right, let's go.

Showtime, bellend.

Be prepared for anything.

Tell them no sudden movements.

Ivan Novak.

Captain Hollows.

British Army.

He says your men look like babies.

He's asking where his other two men are.

Tell him these were all we were given.

Stop wasting my time.

The deal was thirty bodies for five of my men.

If you try to fuck me, my men will

dynamite the children they have locked up in the previous village.

And feed their remains to the pigs.

These women were supposed to be a bonus, but

instead he will give them to his men to...

To enjoy.

Those women are protected by the Geneva Convention.

You cause them harm and you will be indicted for war crimes.

And I will personally give evidence at your trial.

Do you know what they did to my people, Captain?

Last week.

Just a few miles from here.

Seventy-six

decent men, women and children

were pushed together

into a pit

and burned alive.

An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind, Ivan.

I'm sorry, Captain.

This is not your war.

These are not your people.

The United Nations mission...

He doesn't give a fuck about the UN, brother.

You're not even supposed to be here.

You know it.

We know it.

The whole fucking world knows it.

And who are you?

There's a man alive on that truck, you know.

He's been shot up pretty good but...

He's still kicking.

What do you think?

I think we should get the fuck out of here, Sir.

He's right.

You should.

I'll even let you take the man in the truck.

But under one condition.

He must get him.

Emir?

Emir.

Where's Lejla?

David?

Where is she, Emir?

Is she in there?

I need a stretcher!

Focus, Emir.

Where is she?

Where is she?!

They shot everyone.

The whole family.

They're all dead.

Just kill me.

Kill me now.

Back off!

What did you do to his family?

Where are the women?

Locke!

What the actual fuck!

Stand down!

What did you do?

I said stand down!

They refused to be separated from each other.

The girl started running.

We told her to stop or we would shoot.

She didn't listen.

It was unfortunate.

What are you doing here, English boy?

David, drop your fucking weapon, man!

David?

Your name's David?

Could this be he, Father?

You think killing me will end this?

King David?

Do it then.

Right here.

If you think it will make the world a better place,

just do it.

Do it!

Jesus Christ, Locke.

What's wrong with you, man?

Let's go.

From atrocities to justice,

the ICTY set global precedents on war crimes,

crimes against humanity and genocide.

Over twenty-five years, we have held key individuals accountable,

from military leaders to heads of state.

We have broken down the culture of impunity for war crimes

and given a voice to the victims.

We convene today proud

that none of the accused

remain at large

and no investigation

is ongoing.

Go ahead.

The presidents of Croatia, Bosnia and Serbia

have recently described the tribunal as

basically an ineffective nightmare.

Considering the hundreds of criminals who seem to have escaped justice,

do you think they have a point?

Well, no judicial process is entirely comprehensive.

We must focus on our successes.

Albeit with a limited budget,

we achieved justice

and a sense of closure

for thousands of victims.

In the interests of reconciliation,

there must ultimately be an end to this process.

Is one of them for me?

To a job well done, I guess.

More like a job half done.

Come on, David.

You've given the best years of your life to this thing.

I'm kind of with your boss.

Even with mass murder, we have to move on.

So where are you moving on to?

Geneva.

Could be good with the right person.

They gave me a travel budget.

Small permanent staff.

Close to the ski fields.

A good former war crimes investigator

could easily find a job there.

Well don't think too hard, David.

There's a lot of lonely, divorced men around.

Plenty of options then.

I don't know why I bother.

I mean this seriously, as a friend and a fellow forty-something.

Life's too short, David.

We only have what we have.

I know you've been through shit.

But you're in some kind of a guilt loop

and you're going to have to find a way to get out of it somehow.

Enjoy your life, David.

You know where to find me.

Mr. Locke.

You were in the bar.

I was hoping for a moment of your time, sir.

If you want an interview, get in line.

You know the rules.

I'm not here for an interview, sir.

I represent Mr. Emir Ibrahimović.

And he would very much like to speak with you.

After you, Mr. Locke.

Please.

Don't look so stunned,

David.

People change.

Some of us more than others.

I looked for you for years.

I did not wish to be found.

We could have used your testimony.

You must understand me.

Months of questions.

Examination and cross-examination.

Recalling in front of the world what I did not wish to recall.

Can you blame me, David?

It's been twenty-five years since I asked you to kill me.

They sent me to Sweden for my sins.

With God's help, I met some good people and

rebuilt my life.

The steel business.

Not much fun, but it turns a pretty dime.

And?

And I'm sorry, David.

I'm sorry.

I never thanked you. Never had the chance.

That's why I'm here.

You have done my people a great service.

Granted within the political and financial limits

which were set for you.

I don't make the rules.

I accept that.

But the private sector...

Is a little different.

"Portrait of a Man" by Modigliani.

It was stolen from my family home hours before you pulled me from that truck.

This account

was opened the same day

I bought that painting on the black market in Budapest.

The money has set there untouched gathering interest ever since.

That is until...

Some time ago, a woman named Mira Vućković,

some singer in a Belgrade bar,

starts getting eight hundred euros a month from the account.

Who is she, David?

Why is she getting my money?

Why now?

Ivan Novak is dead.

I don't believe that.

Neither do you.

Bowel cancer.

I've seen all the records,

interviewed the doctors.

Doctors are cheap.

You saw the body?

I went to the funeral.

Did you see the dead body?

I saw a picture.

They look very different when they are dead.

It could be anyone.

I assumed a man of your...

Experience...

Understood this.

Is it so hard to believe, David?

The man was clever and cautious.

Well connected. I mean, come on.

A wanted man with a half a million unclaimed in a Swiss bank,

dies of a long illness in the Balkans.

Even in Bosnia he couldn't run forever.

So with the aid of a few friends, doctors and professors,

all of them above suspicion.

He faked his death,

changed his appearance,

and covered his tracks so expertly that even you nor I could follow him.

Bring him to The Hague, David.

I will give you anything you need.

We'll arrest him on the tarmac.

Drag him through a thousand days of court like the others.

There is still the ICC.

We can do it there.

For that, I will testify.

For justice.

It's what the world needs.

It's what my people deserve.

It's what you deserve.

I know you'll do the right thing, David.

The account's genuine.

Linked to a shell company in Bulgaria.

David, remind me how long you've been with us.

I started the same time as you last I checked.

We got everyone we said we would.

Turned a blind eye to others.

If the world believes Novak is dead,

where is the benefit in resurrecting him?

I could go in alone.

Confirm his identity.

No one would have to know until we actually had him.

And then what?

Kidnap him like the others?

Spark a diplomatic incident?

Start this whole circus again?

Is that what this was?

Is that what the Nuremberg trials were?

There is a process, David.

Justice is seen to be done.

Then the healing begins and the society comes back together.

Until the next monster raises its ugly head.

If you want to chase monsters,

there will never be any shortage.

I want this monster.

It's personal, isn't it?

This is why I can't help you.

This is why you should leave this one alone.

Thank you, Erica.

I'm off now.

My name is Miloš Ðurić.

Matija.

Jovan Petrović.

Milan.

But you're not from around here, are you.

I'm here now.

Each step you've made has brought you here.

We can help you.

You will feel again.

There will be an end to your suffering.

Or your money back.

Daddy.

Milan.

Say hello in English.

Hello?

Emir.

David.

Oh yes, yes, I've been trying to get you.

Good to hear from you.

Tell me everything.

How's Belgrade?

How's the apartment?

Your singer, she has a son.

About eight years old.

She has a husband too.

Or ex-husband.

Is it him?

I've no idea.

He's a doctor or therapist or something.

Your girl might have answers.

I don't know yet.

Look David.

Forget the girl.

Forget the girl, David.

If there is a chance it's him,

you must act now.

This is nothing more than a courtesy call.

I've been here for forty-eight hours.

Evidence is required.

Understand?

Of course, David.

Of course.

Forgive me.

I'm just trying to help.

Just sit tight.

You know with a voice like yours,

in a bar like this,

I could get used to Belgrade.

Is this the part where the desperate girl smiles

at the foreign businessman,

hoping he can take her far from this shit-heap,

which is how he thinks of Eastern Europe?

What I'm trying to say is, you're talented.

How would you know that?

David White.

You work in music?

Among other things.

Listen.

I've had a really bad day.

So I just want to be left alone.

Please.

My local address.

My number.

I'm in town a few more days in case you change your mind.

Otherwise you'll never see me again.

Becker Records.

David Locke.

Man.

You have no idea how timely this is.

My daughter.

God bless her.

She finds everything I bring home,

and pours it down the sink.

Twelve years, huh?

Seems like...

You've lost weight, though.

Look like some kind of model or something.

And I do remember a guy who had more enthusiasm about rakia.

And I remember a cop who said he'd never work for national intelligence.

Better to play violin inside than busk out in the snow.

Old Serbian proverb.

Yeah, you're right. I just made it up.

David!

Why didn't you tell me you were coming?

We could've made plan.

You're sick? You need a doctor?

What's this?

Let's get some fresh air.

Still snooping around, huh?

Too young to retire.

Too old for anything else.

Too old or too scared?

Tell me, this little visit.

This is the blue team?

Not this time.

A solo mission, huh?

Well...

You should know the thugs are getting organized again, David.

Some of them are cops now.

Perhaps you shouldn't even trust me.

I don't.

At least I'm cheap.

The rest of Serbia is for sale to the highest bidder.

And we have well resourced friends.

North, south, east, west.

Most friendly by the Black Sea.

Understand?

The whole world's for sale, Willy.

Yeah and revenge is a strictly business matter now.

The more money you can call on, the safer you are.

I'm guessing you're fairly low on finance.

I have enough.

Then spend it on yourself, man.

Settle down.

Go find yourself a family, for Christ's sake.

I mean look around, David.

Things are different now.

Nobody needs a reminder of the past.

Maybe that's exactly what they need.

So you're gonna catch them all, huh?

Save the world.

All those men and women.

All those terrible deeds.

Oh, no, I'll do it for free, man.

Because I like you.

Come back tomorrow.

I know someone who can help with your pictures.

Please, make yourself at home.

Sorry about the other night.

A lot of men come to me.

It's hard to know what they want.

Do you know what I want?

I'm not taking my clothes off, if that's what you mean.

I don't drink, thank you.

I'm a direct woman, Mr. White.

David, please.

David.

Everything you need to know, you can catch from my music.

Better sing for me then.

Here?

Yeah.

What should I sing?

Anything you like.

Will you take a seat?

Alright.

Is something wrong?

Tell me.

Have you ever been to London?

I have an eight-year-old son.

So if you're asking me to leave Serbia,

he'd have to come too.

What about his father?

We're not together anymore.

What does he do?

He's a healer.

Therapist, kind of.

He helps broken people.

Gives them hope.

He gave me hope.

He said my voice could heal the nation.

You got a picture?

Of my husband?

Your son?

Of course.

His name is Vlada.

I know what you're thinking.

He's old.

But I was young and he...

He was different.

He lived in America before we met.

Why didn't he stay?

He wanted to fix this place.

I just wish it wasn't an obsession.

Men can be like that.

Are you like that?

If I find an artist I believe in.

What would you do if he disappeared?

Your husband.

If he went back to America.

Started a new life.

Jovan loves our son.

He'd never leave him.

But I would take Vlada away from here with me

if there were an opportunity.

Is there?

An opportunity?

There could be.

Ivan Novak.

Dragons.

These paramilitary cunts are long gone.

Know where he is?

Dead maybe.

Maybe not. Who cares?

You fucks are still at this, huh?

Coming here, snooping around.

Finding who you say are criminals then,

taking them illegally to a court established by Americans.

Go home.

Let us all get on with ourselves in peace.

All you people do is make reality political.

Package it up for your ratings, fuck that.

And your media.

Fuck them too.

I don't give a shit about the politics.

Or who you or him or me or anybody works for

or where they come from.

This man did things he must answer for.

Men like this are everywhere, bro.

Every country.

Yes they are.

But we can do something about this one.

You are a cop, aren't you?

You got balls coming here, bro.

You know that?

The difference in age makes it difficult.

But there are definite similarities.

The measurements between the eyes, they are the same.

The old man's nose is more pointed.

Could be surgery.

Don't ask me about the hair.

Could be...

Transplant.

So, on balance.

Are they the same man?

Are you the same man you were twenty-five years ago?

I had two minutes here. What do you want from me?

If I saw him in person, maybe, you know,

maybe I could figure it out.

David.

David.

David, wait.

He's a good cop, man.

He has a conscience.

Just make sure he doesn't talk to your friends by the Black Sea.

Oh, forget him, David.

If you're wrong,

and even if you're right.

It's possible no good will come of this.

We tried it their way for over twenty years, Willy.

Now we do it my way.

These were major operations back in the day.

I've got you.

Don't I?

Take this.

Oh, come on, take it.

Just in case.

I like to begin these...

Introductory sessions with

general conversation.

If that's okay with you.

As long as I can smoke.

My office is your home.

You talked about fighting darkness.

There's no fighting, my friend.

Only acceptance.

That's easier said than done.

Yes, I understand.

The darkness lurks in us all.

Some people live their whole lives without acknowledging it.

Others have it brought out of them by circumstance.

Please.

Come closer.

I steer my patients towards

making the darkness conscious.

Your patients.

They're veterans.

Like you.

Where did you fight?

All over.

I'm still fighting.

Yes, you are.

We all are.

And one must say yes to suffering

before he can transcend it.

Repressed, the darkness

becomes like an angry dragon

threatening at any time to break from its chains.

Accept it, and the dragon is still there.

But no longer a threat.

May I have a cigarette?

We can't deny all our vices.

I'm sorry I don't have a light.

I know what it is to deceive myself.

We deceive ourselves about the goodness of our nature,

the state of our lives.

Until one day the darkness bursts forth,

and one does things one would like to forget.

You speak from experience.

I have hurt people.

And you have too.

We are all a mass of paradoxes.

We exist in

constant tension.

And the pathway to salvation is long and difficult.

Acknowledge that

and you've made the first step.

No matter what you have done, my friend.

It is your responsibility to harness the darkness

for the good of the world.

If a man can introduce more good

than the pain he has caused,

then he can be forgiven and we will have peace.

Enough for the first session.

Don't you think?

I found him.

You're sure?

Yes, I'm sure.

That's great.

What do you need?

What do you want me to do?

I need you to prepare as discussed.

Of course.

Everything will be ready.

Good. I'll be in touch.

What's going on, David?

Tell me.

It's him.

Petrović is Novak.

We need to move now.

Well, but David.

We need more time.

Surveillance, more men.

I know how to do it.

We use the boy.

Hi.

Hi.

This is Vlada.

Hello there.

He's shy, but he speaks perfect English.

He likes you.

He's a good lad.

Beyond his years.

Like his father.

Sometimes I wish we could've worked it out.

Other times, I got the feeling he was lying to me.

Watch him for a minute,

will you?

I've seen you before.

Oh yeah?

Where's that?

At my dad's talk.

You're a smart kid.

What's wrong with you?

What do you mean?

My dad only helps sick people. Is he helping you?

You could say that.

So, um...

What do you and your dad like to do together?

Do you go fishing?

Fishing on the Danube?

No. Never.

He doesn't like boats.

He says he feels trapped on them.

So what do you like to do then?

He takes me to the football or to the zoo.

Zoo, huh?

He likes the reptile house, especially in the winter,

because it's always warm in there.

Do you go there a lot?

We go together every weekend.

Every weekend.

Every Sunday.

Sunday...

Must get busy.

We only go in the morning.

As soon as it opens.

What about your dad's friends?

Do they come too?

You ask a lot of questions.

You can come with us if you like.

Come where?

He's off to the zoo this Sunday.

Apparently.

Ah, father and son time.

Honey, David is a busy man.

He's leaving Belgrade soon.

I say we let them spend their morning together.

It would be easier to take him on the street as they leave.

Provided they're alone, of course.

What about the boy?

I'll deal with the boy.

You mustn't see them again, David.

No good will come of it.

Hey!

I said stop!

David?

Still just me and the birds in here.

Anything on your end?

They'll be here soon.

You good, Willy?

Thrilled.

To be honest, I'm not sure why I left the beat.

Twenty-five years.

I wonder what it feels like hiding for that long.

I can't even remember what I was doing yesterday.

You were with us, Danijel.

So, the place closes in an hour.

I think this is what being fucked in the ass looks like.

David.

Where's Vlada?

With his father.

What are they doing?

The usual I guess.

What's this about?

Does she know why you're here, David?

How did you get this number?

Did you tell her about me?

About our shared history?

Is he safe?

I'd like to meet again.

I want to hear your whole story.

Is the boy safe?

Of course he is.

He's with his father.

David, who was that on the phone?

Where's Vlada?

Where's my boy?

I'll get him back.

What do you mean

you'll get him back?

I promise I'll get him back.

Where is my son?

Look at me.

Look at me.

I will get him back.

I will get your boy back.

Stay here.

Don't go outside.

Don't talk to anyone.

Mr. Locke.

There's something calming about these large empty spaces.

Don't you think?

Leave us.

I almost forgot this day might come.

I never thought it would be you.

Where's the boy?

Tell me, David.

Do you believe in reincarnation?

Of course you don't.

Look at you.

Stuck in a single moment of impotency.

Replaying it over and over in your mind.

We'll go to The Hague together, Ivan.

You won't be harmed.

What is this about, David?

Justice?

Revenge?

Love?

We must leave those things behind.

We must confront ourselves to save ourselves.

In saving ourselves, we save the world.

You'd hurt your own family to protect what little time you have left.

I love my son.

He's innocent.

Yes, he is.

And that's why...

I'm giving you the choice.

Kill me now or take me in, I won't resist.

Either way, you ruin the boy's life.

And the cycle continues.

Or...

You walk.

And my son will be raised by a man

who understands the shortcomings of the things he has done.

He will learn that love is the way.

Light!

He will be peace incarnate.

You must understand, David.

What I've built here is far greater than the sum total of my past.

It must be preserved.

You can ensure this.

You can end the cycle.

David.

Look at him, David.

Help me heal the world.

What good will resurrecting the dragon do?

David?

Willy, put your gun down!

What?

No way, man.

Give me the boy, Ivan.

Just give me the boy.

And I'll leave.

You won't be harmed.

I give you my word.

It's finished.

Give me the gun, Vlada.

Give me the gun, Vlada.

You don't want to shoot anyone.

I can arrange to get you out of Serbia.

To Sweden.

Maybe the UK.

We're taking you to Sarajevo, Ivan.

You're being extradited to The Hague

to face trial in the International Criminal Court

for war crimes,

crimes against humanity

and genocide.

Do you understand?

I don't know if it's safe for you two here.

For now at least.

All those who fight in wars are criminals in peace time.

Wait.

He's with his mother.

Whatever you have to do with my husband.

You better go and do it.

There's no need for you to carry on, Willy.

Believe it or not, I've never been to Bosnia.

David.

Nothing.

You're with Emir?

Where's the vehicle?

I have a car.

I will take you to Sarajevo.

Fuck.

What are you doing here, Emir?

Bring him to me.

What's going on, Emir?

What is this?

Double what we agreed.

All you need to do is walk away.

Not without him.

I'm sorry, David.

It's not possible.

Tell your man to step aside, Emir.

The deal was a trial.

Fine.

We do it the uncivilized way.

What did you think was going to happen?

This is the Balkans.

A pound of flesh

for every victim.

Then!

He will take dig his own grave and lie in it.

Like my family was made to do.

Just take the money, David.

You have exceeded expectations.

And we thank you for that.

Murder.

Rape.

Theft.

My people.

Lejla!

I know that, Emir.

You know I do.

Novak!

But this isn't right.

This makes you as bad as him.

David, no!

Novak!

Novak!

Novak!

Novak!

It's over.

I can take you in.

I can protect you.

Novak.

Just promise me my boy will never know the truth.

Last warning.

It is as it should be, David.

The world will be...

A better place.

Just finish it.

Do it.

Do it!

Please.

Send me to God.

Please.

No more.

David.

David!

Help me up.

Help me up.

Help me up, David.

David!

Help me up!

Help me up.

David.

Listen to me!

Listen to me, David!

Where is he?

David.

What have you done?

Help me up.

David.

Please!

Where is Novak?!

Get him yourself.

David.

David, please!

David!

David.

David.

David.
