TV series, Episode 1 of 6

Subtitles prepared for Karagarga.net by Quigley (Croatia)

To our fathers and their children...

Once upon a time, there was a country...

and its capital was Belgrade.

April 6, 1941...

I'll kill them, my friend!

Careful, my friend!

I'll kill them motherfuckers!

Ivan, my brother! Hey!

This is Radio Belgrade...

... and today is April, 6th 1941.

We start with the morning news.

Arrival of dr. Macheck, the vice-president, in Belgrade...

... tightened the relations between Yugoslavian nations...

That's my brother...

and his best friend, Blacky!

Hooligans! Hooligans!

What can I do? They're all I... have.

Argh! Argh!

C'mon, mate! C'mon here! C'mon, mate!

Run over me! C'mon here!

Whoa, horse! Whoa, horse!

Get off that horse and get the fuck in the house!

Vera, I'm a free man, woman!

Get in, you scum!

Damn it!

Vera, I have something important to tell you.

Listen...

What?

Don't be angry...

We enrolled Petar in the Communist Party.

A whore-house rather!

He's one of us now.

Get inside!

Okay, just one last word to my friend.

Get inside. I have to sort things out with him.

See who I have to live with!

I love you. Let me kiss you.

Not on the lips, damn!

Blacky! Get in the house!

She's like this every morning!

I'll leave you, just like Marko's wife left him.

I'm a free man... - Let's go!!!

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

Pigeon, this is for you! - Thank you. Kiss his hand.

Leave my hand! Now, get lost! Go sleep somewhere!

Where you've been, sweetie?

Eenie, meenie, minie, mo...

You're the one!

Bathing! Bathing!

Yeah, baby!

Teddy bear! Wow!

Another teddy bear.

Teddy bear! Teddy bear!

Go fuck yourself, somewhere else!

You are the same as any other man.

Come here and we'll see about it.

I'm coming.

Now, show me what you can, my macho man.

Listen, I'm obliged to tell you...

Women call me a marathon fucker.

In the attic, a small apartment...

On the wall...

Lolo... Breakfast!

A small clock on the wall...

Is ticking... tick-tack...

In the attic... an apartment...

Tell me... Does your mother obey you?

Soni!

B-Bambina!

Hey!

That's it! Do it! Go on!

- Let me go! - Wait! Now it's important.

- Let me go, idiot! - Wait!

Wait! Now it's important.

- Let me go, idiot!

Fucking fascist motherfuckers!

How can you keep eating?

I can and that's it.

How can you eat, with all these bombs falling?

Out of spite!

You want me to die hungry?

My shoes!

Not my shoes!

You stupid horse!

Prepare a new pair of shoes.

I've had enough.

That does it!

They're bombing my city!

Raiding my city!

My own city!

Where are you going, Blacky?

To "greet" the fucking criminals who've come to destroy my city!

- I know where you're going! - You do?

I know!

To see that whore!

What whore? You're crazy, you really are.

That actress.

What? I'm defending my country!

- Don't lie! - Vera!

You're defending that whore!

God, it's impossible to have a serious talk with you!

What are you saying?

You get on my nerves!

Here it is!

I'm saying what the whole town is saying. Blacky!

What is it, my love?

You never leave that theatre!

You're in that theatre every night.

Of course, because I love the theatre.

You love the theatre?

You love the theatre!

So? What's so strange about that?

You love that whore, not the theatre!

If you weren't pregnant, I would show you how...

You'd what? You lying scum!

- Me? - Yes, you!

You, you scum!

What is it? What?

What is it?

Shame on you, Vera!

Blacky!

Come back. They'll kill you. Come back.

I'll come back when you apologize to me.

Me? Apologize to you?

Apologize to you for destroying my life!?

You dirty animal!

You're calling me a whoremaster. And I'm going to defend...

... our fatherland and the child you are going to deliver.

Communists and whores will kill you. Mark my words.

Don't meddle in politics!

Whoremaster!

- Shame on...

- Shame on you.

Unbelievable.

U-U-Uncle, Blacky!

W-W-What's happening?

Don't cry! I'll build you a new zoo.

Don't cry!

- That's Lola. - Yes, Lola.

Get lost!

The survivors will be eaten by the beasts, see?

Here's some money.

Buy some milk for the baby monkey.

Tell Marco to come to "Little Moscow". I'll be waiting for him there.

Come on, stop crying. The Germans will make fun of you.

Be - Be careful, Uncle.

I'm gonna fuck their fascist mother.

Germans! Germans are coming!

"Little Moscow". So, it's here.

Stop, please! I've given you all I've got!

Mr. Marko, please tell him to stop. We gave him everything.

I swear, Mr. Blacky. I gave you all. I swear.

- And that's all, Prodanovich? - Yes.

You see... I understand him. He is a jeweler.

Folks don't have money to buy jewelry.

It's a war going on. But you're a baker.

If people don't have money for jewelry...

... they must have money for bread.

I swear on my children, that I don't have any more.

Don't swear on children. You are getting on my nerves.

Here you are, my friend. Half for you.

Come here.

They don't have it, huh?

They are shameless, I'm telling you.

I wonder why you got yourself into all this.

Don't you see that we are protecting you and your families...

... your children, your property... So why are you acting like this?

That's stupid from you.

See this? - Yes, we see.

What do you see? - Grenades.

Yes, grenades. There is one for each of you.

- What do we suppose to do with them? - Kill yourself, if I wouldn't...

... have time to kill you myself.

See! There is always something to give.

Now get the fuck out.

- This way, gentlemen. Have a nice day.

Blacky! Blacky!

Leave him alone!

What is it? - Germans are on the square.

Hey, you! Don't you dare to trade with Germans now, you hear!?

What about me? - OK. Take this. Eat something.

- What is that, friend? - An oil.

- What oil? - Olive oil.

Let me smell it. Fine.

Have you seen him? - They're gonna fall like drunken.

You're always ready for bullshit.

And Tito told me to watch after you. - Oh yeah!? Who's that?

- You haven't heard of Tito? - Never heard.

This is my city and I don't take commands from anyone here.

- Here you are, gentlemen. - Hide yourself, kid. They're coming.

They sure have a sore ass now! - You fascist motherfuckers!

Look at him!

A railway carriage full with weapons is waiting for us.

We can not allow Germans to get there before us.

And all you do is mumbling about that Toto.

- Tito. - Whatever. There is a lot of weapons there.

I know. But this is not the moment.

- And when it would be? - When he says.

What's that man to me? - He's the man in charge.

He will be more important to you than Saint Nicholas.

- You're out of you mind. What is he? A saint?

- No. But he will be.

- Do you have to piss, darling? - Absolutely.

- Go.

- Hey, you!

What are you doing here? - Little girl has to pee.

A decent woman can not pee alone. Shame on you.

Drive, Mustafa!

- It's you, Mr. Blacky. - Who we are?

- You are the freedom fighters. The police is looking for you.

Please don't, Miss. - Drive! Drive!

Please don't. They're gonna shoot me. I've got kids.

Kids? You're working for the army who betrayed our country.

Aren't you ashamed, you scum!?

- You were waiting for Germans there, huh?

- I didn't wait for anyone, I swear on my kids.

- Don't swear on your kids, Mustafa.

Don't swear on your kids. I'm gonna be a mother one of these days.

Please don't, Miss.

- Let's throw him in the furnace. - Yep, let's do it.

- He's a traitor anyway. He would be a shame for his kids.

- Please don't, I beg you.

- What a feeling. Wow.

- Let me try it, please. - What a feeling. What an engine.

- Go ahead, try it. It's so good.

- Comrades...

I've always wanted to join you.

- Liar. Liar. - I swear.

See, if there isn't for us, Germans would have got all of this.

- Two wagons, Blacky. - Yes, two wagons.

Let's unload it! Hurry up!

Drive the truck to Queen Natalia 28. It's your head, you hear!

- No problem. - Marco!

- Don't worry, Blacky.

- Let's go! - Let's unload the rest.

Faster!

Faster, faster!

Faster! Unload it!

Grandpa.

Get that beast out of our backyard. Germans could see it.

- Where is Mustafa? - Beats me.

I almost got killed.

- Everything is OK. - Fuck OK!

I'll never work with dilettantes any more. Ever!

I'm Petar Popara Blacky! Never more with dilettantes!

I' gonna teach you a lesson!

Fuck those fascist motherfuckers!

NATIONAL THEATRE WORKING GROUP

Working hard, artists?

You bet!

Bato, sweets!

Uncle Blacky!

Are you avoiding me? Let's not play games.

You're dead right!

What do you mean?

You know very well what I mean!

No, I don't.

I don't!

You want me and Bato in a prison camp?

- What are you talking about? - The whole city is talking about it.

You thief!

Who? Me?

What's the town saying?

Don't try to act stupid.

You steal people's gold and money. You steal!

I only steal from the rich...

what they stole from the poor!

- Stop it... - You stop it!

Working hard?

Do you love me?

Well, yes.

Come on, give me a kiss!

You love me! I've been looking for you for days.

I'm scared.

You get on my nerves!

You get on mine! Have you seen this?

You're a wanted man.

Ten thousand!

Ten thousand for my life! Rubbish!

Franz!

Franz?

Fr�ulein Zovko...

Oh, Franz! Good morning.

I've been waiting.

We have a table waiting at "The Russian Tsar".

Yes... and my brother?

Seisenberger, do me a favour. Take this "vehicle" and follow us.

But carefully!

Franz...

Ivan, open up!

Stay there by the door and don't move!

Ivan! My God, it stinks in here!

Vera, take a seat!

My brother's like Noah saving the world after the flood.

Don't move and keep quiet!

Come here.

What are you doing?

Shame on you!

Always hanging yourself!

My God...

I've had enough of this life...

Enough? Instead of helping me and being a hero,

you hang yourself like a sissy! Shame on you!

Oh, Lord. Oh, Lord.

(Radio) "Attention, please."

Don't cry, Vera. We'll cry after the war.

"An announcement from the Gestapo

to citizens of Belgrade and other towns.

Bandits robbed a train full of arms and munitions last night.

The attack was the work of the Communist criminals,

Petar Popara, known as Blacky, and Marko Dren."

Liars.

What have you done?

Nothing. Last night, we roughed up a few thieves.

Marko, oh Lord...

Someone ratted on us.

Some bastard squealer gave our names!

Our comrades were arrested.

Was Blacky arrested? Taken in?

Arrested, my ass, just as they'll never catch me.

Come on, hurry up!

Why do I have to come?

Because you're my brother.

Come on, people!

What is it Vera?

No, it's nothing! I can manage!

Who is it?

It's me, grandad!

Who is it?

It's me! Marko!

Who?

Marko, for God's sake!

Who?

It's me, Marko! Open up!

It's you, Marko!

Yes, it's me.

Come on in! The Germans could be here any minute!

Go downstairs, I'll take care of your stuff later.

The cellar's behind the stove.

Sit down, please.

Yes, behind the stove. On the left.

What are you writing, grandpa? - The honesty.

I'm making a list of each one's belongings.

After the war we would know what each one has brought to the cellar.

Mrs. Vera, please sign here.

- How many are in the cellar. - Eleven.

Oh, my God.

Your Blacky got them all out from the prison camp.

They were all on a list to be shot by a firing squad.

Your husband Blacky is a great man.

One of Belgrade's greatest man of all times.

Yes, he's good...

But for others. Only for others.

Let them through! Come on!

Where are you taking those animals?

It's not a zoo down there, it's a shelter for humans!

Marko, please take care.

You are a poet. War is not for poets.

Don't you worry about me.

Marko...

I'm closing!

This is horrible!

Horrible!

Where are you now, Blacky, you bastard?

Has it st... st...

Yes, it's started, it's started!

It's started! Grandad!

Marko!

Blacky's wife

...is giving birth! - Out of the way!

Please, quickly!

Bring some water, a sheet, any white piece of cloth...

Quickly! It's coming!

Don't worry.

Is everything all right?

It will be, but I need more light.

Right, lift up the bicycle! Come on, higher!

Ivan!

I don't feel well.

Everything will be fine.

No, it won't. It won't.

If anything happens to me...

call him Jovan.

Vera!

3 years later, Belgrade was suffering

an open fracture of its soul...

Stop, stop, swift waters of the Ibar

Why are you in such a hurry

All together!

I have my sorrows too

Deeper than you may know

The drinks are on me. It's my son's birthday!

Let's drink to my Jovan!

Cheers!

I want to show you this...

Now it will get up. There.

Now make a bow. There.

Now go to young lady. There. Stop.

Now make a bow. There.

See, a hundred women wore this ring.

And it always get back to me.

What's so funny, Muyo? Huh?

- That is funny. - What? What? This?

This is funny to you? - Yes, that... - What?

- How the ring obeys you. - Oh, that's funny to you.

And why you don't obey me, Mustafa?

English fabric, huh? New suit every day.

How you pay for all that? - You aren't naked either, I see.

One of these days, I'm gonna make you a fine suit of wooden planks.

You are going to look great in it.

You forgot that I took you of a railway. You were black as a raven.

And now... New suits, silk ties, money, women... Huh?

How do you pay for all that? - I'm a working man, Blacky.

You're stealing. You motherfucker.

You're stealing, Mustafa.

Blacky, I hoped that we had solved that a long time ago.

Germans took it. - We haven't solved anything, yet.

Where is the gold? - What gold? - 20 kilos of gold.

Where is it? - Here.

- Where? - In this pocket.

- 20 kilos? In that pocket!?

Is that so?

Watch me in the eyes, Mustafa.

How much?

- 120.000.

- 120.000? - 120.000.

I robbed a jewelry store and he's giving me 120.000.

- Even that is way too much. - Way too much, you say!?

What's up?

Are you thieves getting jumpy?

My friend!

Happy birthday to your Jovan, my friend!

My good old friend!

Look at him. He's my spitting image!

With a hint of Vera.

You think so?

What kept you?

There's a traitor among us. We've got problems.

Those three are waiting for you below.

I saw them. Hang around.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Good evening!

If you please, gentlemen...

I'm doing this for your own good.

Gentlemen, please...

Franz!

Flowers for Natalia!

He kills us and fucks her!

Excuse me.

Get me the biggest bouquet you can find.

Sure.

- What about the priest? - All arranged.

Perfect...

My friend, there'll be a wedding!

Now let's play fair.

Here's my gun, give me yours. That's fair.

This is gold. See it? This is gold, right?

How much did the gold bring in? Look at it!

How much did it bring in?

Look at it!

How much for the gold?

200,000!

200,000? Mustafa, you said 120,000.

Never mind.

Now tell me where the weapons are and we're done.

I swear on my mother's grave, the Germans took them.

Leave your mother out of this!

Motherfucker!

You steal my money? I rob banks, jeweler stores,

and you fuckers steal my money!

You dirty fucking thieves!

I'll kill you all, you bastards!

I'll clean Belgrade of scum like you!

Our comrades are shot in the woods, they eat roots and you steal...

You've gone crazy!

No, guys, we don't play this way...

Hold these, honey, please.

Faster and louder!

Here I come, my friend! Hang on!

Watch out!

Here I come!

Not in my ear!

Left! Left! Left!

I have to tell you something, you being the Party Secretary...

If anything, it'll be these thieves and criminals

who'll cost us our heads.

Right. We rob stores to buy arms and food for our comrades.

And the bastards steal from us!

Pavle!

Hello, comrade. How are you?

Jovan? - Here. - Zelko? - Here. - Jelena? - Here. - Let's go!

Go! Faster!

I open this meeting of your party organization.

We are going to discuss only one thing.

What's going on in your party organization?

Comrades...

Comrades, we must know what have you been doing for the last 2 years?

Running after whores, drinking, racketeering honest people...

- I wanted to tell you... - To tell me what, Pavle?

- I wanted to tell you that you are right. - Sure I'm right.

So, from now on...

I want everyone to do his job or otherwise to commit suicide.

You have money, you have weapons. Enemy is all around.

You have 100.000 Germans and 20.000 traitors. What else do you want?

- They don't have balls, mate. - I think, comrade Marko...

- What do you think, Pavle? - I think that comrade Blacky has right.

But Germans shoot 100 people for each of their dead soldier.

- Is that so? They will kill people regardless.

See you tomorrow, Pavle.

Understood? - Yes.

Any questions? - No.

- Let's go, mate. - Get lost.

- The end of episode 1 -

Episode 2

Good evening, gentlemen.

Look at it. Like a real lion.

Kissing hands, Mrs. Thank you.

It's wonderful to speak German. Goethe's and Hitler's language.

The language of great culture.

Hurry up, everyone. We have only 15 minutes.

Let's go.

Miss Natalia, we have only 15 minutes.

Only 15 minutes, Miss Natalia.

Hold this for me, mate.

- This is not good. - You'll be fine on the stage.

- What are you doing, Bato? - Playing.

- What are you playing? - Playing a record, Sis.

That's fine, sweetie.

Get in, damn it.

- No! - Yes. Natalia, my love.

- Good evening.

I was not able to find roses for you. I'm sorry.

- Blacky, they will kill you. No, let me go!

Let me go! - Take the flowers.

- Sis, don't hit him!

- Let her hit me. - You shut up!

Bato, look at this.

- Godzilla.

- Did you beat it. - 14 times, like this.

- Get out! - Out? - Absolutely.

- But we have a show tonight. - Out!

I beat Godzilla like this paper bag.

- Miss Zovko, 10 minutes more. - I know.

I'm going on stage in 10 minutes!

- Beauty. - Watch my make-up!

- Fine. Franz wont be angry if you are late a bit.

- What Franz! What are you talking about.

Everyone in the city knows. Tonight is your last show.

No more fucking around!

Put this on your finger, so that he will know that you are engaged.

- What is that? - A wedding ring.

- You are getting married tonight. - Me?

- Yes, you. - Me? - Yes, you. - Me?

- Marry him, Sister, please. - I told you to keep quite.

Uncle Blacky is the strongest man in the world.

He beat Godzilla like a paper bag. - Now look here...

If you marry some engineer, a doctor, or even Franz, God forbid...

I shall have to be your lover.

If you marry me, you'll have me as a husband and a lover.

- Blacky, you're insane. - Sure I am.

That's good, mate.

Miss Natalia...

We're gonna have wedding on a boat.

Miss Natalia, it's time. - She hears you. Now get out.

- Get out of here!!!

"I'll kill myself.

"You say you'll kill yourself.

"But you won't do it.

"Are you so sure?

"Do you think a man can live..."

Quiet!

"...if he has nothing and nobody to live for?

"Are you capitulating?

"No, I suggest

"that we make peace."

He's entranced by her!

I'll kill him, I swear! The other actors don't interest him!

I think the Captain's excellent.

- Really? - Yes, look at him!

Quiet! This is a theatre.

Hands off. This is a theatre, watch the show!

Good evening.

"Promise to tell me

"the truth and I'll forgive you in advance.

"Is Berta my child?

"I cannot assume the guilt

"for a deed I didn't commit."

Get out!

Have you no shame?

"Is Berta my child?"

"Is Berta my child?"

"Is Berta my child?"

I'm coming.

Bato!

Quiet!

Uncle Blacky!

Natalia is the best!

She is the best!

Franz!

- This is a scandal. - I know...

Captain!

Good evening, madam.

Captain...

Just a moment.

I am...

Berta's father.

I am the father of your child.

Please...

Do you understand?

Tie us together. Quickly!

I now have my Laura with me.

We're in love.

Hurry!

We're leaving your house so we can live together.

Please don't be angry.

- Finished? - Yes.

Thank you, captain.

I know this actor.

I know him... Where on earth from?

Good-bye, captain.

You act for Germans, you motherfucker!

Wonderful actor, my colleague!

Are these the mains?

Keep to your seats!

Hands up, traitor!

Hands up!

Is this the curtain?

It is but please, sir...

Uncle Blacky! Sis!

Uncle Blacky! Charge!

You want my sister?

Well, you won't have her. You won't!

Mr. officer! Mr. officer! Are you OK?

Hands up, mate! Let's go!

- Where is my brother? Where is Bato?

What did you say? - Nothing.

- Did you hear that, mate? - What?

She says that she loves me.

- Drive, mate, or Germans could catch us. - Yeah, right!

They'll kill my brother!

Stop playing music! Everybody out! You will stay.

Haven't we reserved this place in advance? - Yes, you have.

Do you want me to close this place? - No, it would be a catastrophe.

Come on, mate. It's clear.

- I'm really sorry, but I can not do anything.

You understand.

They have reserved and paid in advance.

- What's going on here? - Nothing. Everything is fine.

- Why are you treating us like this? - People have paid in advance.

This is a reputable restaurant. I don't want any troubles here.

Blow on that horn! I don't get married every night!

Congratulations!

Okay, Pigeon. Where's the priest?

I sent a boy to fetch him.

Congratulations, miss.

I'm not getting married!

Yes, you are. You just don't know it yet.

So, I ruined your life by killing Franz. Thank you, Natalia!

Who gets Bato's medicine, you or Franz?

- You only bring me stolen gold! - From thieves and traitors.

Come to your senses.

Listen to me...

I've never loved anyone so much.

But respect some rules. No collaborating with the enemy!

Right!

What do you mean? I'm just an actress.

The bakeries are working!

Yes, but you're not a baker.

You don't sell pies.

You sell your soul.

I personally will judge those who sell their soul.

First, I'll kill the manager of your theatre.

I'll strangle him with my bare hands... because I love the theatre!

Congratulations, Mr. Blacky!

Will this dinner eat us before we eat it?

Get that fish grilled properly.

No problem!

Have you no shame? Others help wounded partisans

while you perform for the enemy!

It hurts!

So now it hurts you!

I love you.

Pigeon!

Grill it!

Follow me, I'm going for a pee.

Watch my bride, mate.

Let's go!

Marko!

Come on! Follow me!

I don't want to!

I don't want to get married!

I don't want to get married!

Don't do it, Marko. He'll kill us.

Pigeon, I won't leave the partisans to sort you all out.

There's no need.

You may not know this

but he's not an electrical engineer at all.

No, he's a common electrician. A pole-man!

He spent his whole life on poles,

with pliers and cutters.

I'm the one who got him down and asked him: "Comrade,

"will you join our side?" "Yes," he said.

"Will you obey the rules

"and the orders?" "Yes."

Until...

he got rich!

Natalia!

My neck is on the line, because of electricians.

I got him down from poles... I'm gonna put him back on a pole.

An electrician?

A pole-man!

Natalia, you are our greatest actress

and our suffering people need you.

And you need a reasonable, intelligent,

educated man...

An intellectual!

You're right!

You know what...

You go on and play for the Germans.

But listen what they are talking.

- Excellent. - Give all information to Marko.

- What is it? - Nothing. It's all right.

- Hi. - Hi.

Comrade Leka will bring you to the disciplinary committee.

We expected the guns a week ago. Where are they?

On the boat. As soon as I get married, off we go!

They can hear the music in Belgrade!

Good! It's Blacky's wedding.

We've had enough crying.

Are these arms or what?

Once the priest marries me,

I'll be at the White Rock before you.

National Theatre Belgrade. April 27, 1936

In the role of Roxanne: Natalia Zovko.

- That was my first role. - I know.

24 karat.

- Marko, you are natural born actor.

Me? No. - Yes, you are.

I act sometimes as an amateur. - Yes, you are.

Let's greet our comrades with a song.

"Your hands, so white

"So tender, so soft As the wings of a bird

"Oh, to see them fly and land on my face..."

That's enough!

Get out!

What are you doing to me?

We're just talking about the theatre.

What?

I'll kill myself, I swear!

Don't, my friend!

You know, I killed two men because of her!

I know.

Why do this to me?

- As for you... - It wasn't me!

Wasn't you?

It was me, then?

Are you my best friend?

I'm your best friend.

I didn't hear. Are you my best friend?

I'm your best friend.

Whose wedding is this?

Ours, my love! Our wedding!

Yours, my friend.

- Our wedding, sweetheart. - Ours, my love!

You wanted a ride, did you? Well, giddy-up, you stud!

Come on, my horse!

- You will be a war hero, my Natalia. - Me?

You will bandage wounded soldiers.

I'm even gonna build you a theatre. So you will bandage casualties,

... and you can perform in your spare time. - Nice.

Cheers, mate!

Where's the priest?

He'll be here any minute now, Sir.

"Is it moonlight at noon

Is it sunshine at midnight

From the skies above Light is beaming...

Nobody knows, nobody knows

What is really shining."

The two of you could make one good man!

You're so getting on my nerves!

It's not a custom to get married in a tavern.

Welcome Father!

Only vampires, werewolves and you infidels, get married in a tavern.

Welcome Father!

This is my bride. Sit down, please. - She is so beautiful.

Natalia is a sacred name. Beautiful name.

You, Mr. Popara...

You have already been married once.

Maybe you want to change your religion,

... so that you can have many wives!?

It that's so, then why don't change a priest, as well?

Take a Muslim priest, for example.

- You dirty, lying bastard! You are married!

You dirty swine! - Natalia, wait...

I was married. I admit. - When?

- His wife died, three years ago. - Thank you, mate. Thank you.

You see, Father... I thought...

Now my only son has no mother. That's no right, is it?

- And you want me to be his mother!? - Why not, dear. - You're crazy!

My son needs a mother.

- You're crazy! - Me? Why?

- How old is a child? - My Jovan is three years old.

I don't even have my old child. I'm an actress.

- I'm gonna make you a baby. Don't worry.

You will have a theatre, you will bandage casualties, perform...

Please don't fight.

Natalia, honey... I love you so much.

The Germans! A catastrophe!

(PREACHING)

It's gonna be a catastrophe!

Get out of the cars! Spread out!

Left and right of the boat!

(PREACHING)

The Germans are coming! They gonna kill us all. A catastrophe!

You in the boat! Listen good!

All of you! Get out now!

Do you, Petar...

... take this woman, Natalia for your wedding wife.

People!

The Germans! Look through the window. - Get lost!

- Get out!

Do you,

... take this woman, Natalia for your wedding wife.

- Yes, I do, Father.

Have you been promised to another bride? - No way, Father.

What the fuck is going on here!?

Marko!

Petar Popara!

You fools! Idiots!

You can't play cat and mouse!

Franz!

Come out now!

And bring Natalia with you or I'll shoot you all!

How come? I killed him.

You didn't.

He wears a bullet-proof vest.

Aim at his head next time.

I'll smoke one more cigarette.

And then my patience runs out.

After that, I want you out in the open.

Do you hear me?

Don't shoot!

Don't shoot!

Thank you.

Surrender!

Catastrophe!

My sweet savior!

My dearest...

Schulz, get out!

- My dear. - Franz.

Now let's send

this shit-load of criminals back where they belong!

My little white dove!

Have fun, you idiots!

You won't forget me in a hurry!

Shoot, my friend!

Pigeon, don't shoot!

Catastrophe!

Shoot, my friend!

Where are the weapons, Blacky?

Where are the trains with the weapons, bastard?

Treacherous swine!

I'll fry Tito out of your head!

"A noble knight, mounts on his horse...

... and rides towards dark and far mountains."

"He knew where the dragon was hiding."

- So, uncle Blacky is a noble knight. - Well, huh... Yes.

- Then why don't you say so!? I'm not a kid to believe in tales.

- Why are you angry? - Because of that.

- Why are you angry at me?

Oh, Franz!

Oh, my darling.

I gotta go for a second. I'll be right back.

- Thank you. - I'll be right back.

Only Germans are the real men.

Well?

Is he talking?

No. He just keeps cursing.

Petar Popara!

Fucking fascist motherfucker!

- No. - You'll talk!

Keep on raising the current. Double it! Triple it!

Good afternoon.

Marry uncle Blacky, sis.

He's the strongest man in the world.

Forget uncle Blacky!

Here's Franz!

Blacky's the greatest!

Stop pestering me.

What did he say?

He asked when he can be released.

Next week, my boy.

He can go to a sanatorium in Austria.

A sanatorium in Austria?

Yes, he'll be safe there.

I can't help him here. It's too dangerous.

Good morning!

Good morning!

Did the kid vomit during the night?

Yes.

No, he didn't.

Did he...

... or didn't he?

I don't know.

Well, he didn't.

Tell him

that he must not worry. Please, tell him...

Burst him like a paper bag!

- Are you insane?

Calm down, Bato. Don't look, please.

Shame on you!

Burst him like a paper bag!

Let go of him! Let go of him!

Like a bag!

Burst him like a bag!

You killed my Franz!

Is he dead?

Not yet!

Forgive me, Franz. I'm sorry.

- Franz! - Damn your Franz! Come on.

- What's wrong with this shit? - Put it on level 5.

It might kill him.

Kill me... my ass!

Let me try.

It doesn't work.

Switch it on.

Hey, mate!

Excuse me, please.

Wake up! Hey!

Good afternoon, gentlemen.

Let's see what's going on.

What's wrong with him?

He tested the generator.

Is it working?

Yes, he's dead!

- That one didn't flinch. - He's an electrician.

An electrician?

A pole-man!

Slowly.

My friend...

Give me a grenade. If they catch me, I'll choose.

Here you are. Let's go.

- You're insane.

Hey, you, patient... Give me a hand here.

Hold the chair.

Hold the chair. Let's go now.

- Be careful. - Lower it down. More. Down.

- Hold on, Bato.

- Hold on to the chair!

Thank you, Marko.

Those crazy people are so sad...

Indeed.

We're all crazy, Natalia.

We just haven't been... diagnosed yet.

Where's uncle Blacky?

In the trunk, my boy.

In the trunk!?

My friend!

In the trunk?

Uncle Blacky!

Fucking fascist motherfuckers!

Don't be afraid of the monkey.

It won't grow there. There is no sunshine there.

Sure it will grow. There is a sunshine.

That is a moonlight.

No, it's sun shinning. It's noon.

- That's moon. It's midnight.

Natalia, sit down, please.

Grandpa!

Grandpa!

Don't worry, mate. Just hold on.

Grandpa!

Fuck all this.

Ivan!

Pigeon!

Get some bandages ready! Hang on, my friend!

Bring the bandages, for fuck's sake!

Come and help. Hold Jovan.

Jovan!

Fuck the monkey, help the man!

Pedal faster.

We need more light. Get some water.

Mind his leg!

God, Comrade Blacky, what did they do to you?

Fucking fascist motherfuckers!

Catastrophe!

Jovan...

Bring some soap and water.

What are you doing?

- These are medicinal herbs. I've cured many animals with that.

Comrade Blacky is not an animal.

Shame on you!

Comrade Marko!

Call your grandad, he'll cure him.

The water from the well is medicinal.

Gently...

Tell the comrades about the arms.

Don't worry, I'll see to the weapons.

Look at Jovan!

Your son!

Jovan! My son!

Give your dad a kiss! Kiss your dad!

Your papa.

Grandpa!

- Who is it? - Marko. Who? - Marko.

Grandpa! Marko is here. - Oh, it's you Marko.

- Quickly, Blacky is wounded.

- The water from the well makes miracles.

Don't worry.

... Blacky enters in the cave...

... and pulls out his golden sword.

Decorated with diamonds. All in diamonds.

And looks up to a sleeping dragon.

Quiet, Marko. - Quiet, dear.

He's asleep. - Quiet! - Sorry.

- How's Blacky? - Very bad.

The glasses. - No, let me do everything.

- Just the glasses.

- Marko. - Keep quiet. He's sleeping.

I would kill myself if something happen to him. He's all I got.

All my folks have been dead.

We all have lost someone, you know.

Wow.

This room is dedicated to me!

My room!

Right...

Yes!

This room and this house!

And this country and the sky, stars, rain, sun, moon and clouds...

even when the sky is bright!

It's all mine...

Yes. All of it!

- Who's bombing us now? - The Allies.

When it's not the Germans, the Allies bomb us.

Where are you going?

To the cellar.

Come to me!

Come to me!

Are you afraid?

Not when I'm with you.

Drink up!

You know I don't drink.

Don't be afraid, drink!

It's sweet, not strong!

Indeed...

"I do not know, my dear If this is a dream

"What year it is And what day

"And I don't know, my dear If I am yours...

"Or if you are my dream"

Who did you write that for?

Confess!

For you.

You're lying!

You're lying...

I'm not lying.

You're lying.

I never lie.

Never!

Never!

Marko, you lie so beautifully.

Easter, April, 1944

The Allied bombs destroyed

what the Nazis had left of Belgrade...

Freedom! Hurray! Freedom!

...from our homeland. They try to tear out...

part of our body.

With guns, we won the plebiscite!

With guns, we defended freedom!

With guns, we'll defend Trieste!
