JSO apologizes for the traffic in the city center.

Their spokesman stated,

the strike was provoked by state policy towards the Hague Tribunal

and the abuse of JSO in arresting two Hague defendants.

They believe the Unit was deceived

and led to executing an illegal and unconstitutional act against their will.

Prime Minister Zoran Ðinđić is on his way back from his visit to Washington.

Okay, so how did this happen?

You could say something, Dušan.

They're asking for your resignation.

- The Police have no authority. - Who has it then? Who?!

The State Security Service. Tell him, Goran.

The JSO is a State Security Unit, but I have no control over them.

- From the beginning, we're in conflict... - They work for this country!

What right do they have to block the streets armed?!

Maybe because the president himself supported them on TV?

People approach them, treat them like liberators!

And the media is hyping it up.

Nobody can stop the riot apart from Koštunica and the Army.

Who can disarm them?

It wouldn't be wise to have a conflict with them.

What do we do if they come here?

If they come armed to the government building, what do we do then?

Mr. Ðinđić.

A police unit that can go up against them doesn't exist.

But if they come for the government building, I'll personally protect you.

Is that true, Dušan?

No unit will shoot at the Red Berets.

Čeda, call them. Tell them we're coming to Kula.

Attention!

Mr. Prime Minister.

Come with me.

You're staying here.

We believe our demands are reasonable.

- I have no intention of replacing anyone. - The Unit was deceived.

Nobody told us we would be arresting Serbs and sending them to the Hague.

They didn't tell us because they knew we wouldn't send our people there.

You were not deceived, that's not true. Everything was explained to you.

That's a lie despite what you were told.

Our response is the strike.

This is no strike.

This is a rebellion, guys.

An armed one.

Pardon me...

I'm not part of the Unit anymore, but I'm here to help the guys out.

Firstly, I want to thank you for coming here to hear us and our demands.

Secondly, I want to point out that this situation can't last very long.

And thirdly, I believe that everyone at this table is on the same side.

We all care about the country's interest, before our own, right?

Then withdraw the soldiers from the city center.

The people are upset, armed men are walking around.

When you do that, we can talk.

You wouldn't be talking to us if we didn't do that!

Easy now, easy. Mr. Prime Minister...

We need a show of good faith.

The protest will continue until you replace the Minister of Police.

You're not the ones who can make that call in my government!

What is all this?!

Mr. Prime Minister, with all due respect...

I don't think anyone in the Unit wants to replace Ministers in your government.

Minister Mihajlović? He can stay.

But what about the State Security?

What about the Secret Service?

Those people are constantly ruining the reputation of this Unit.

Rigged processes, false indictments!

You made people who bled for this country look like criminals and scum!

You can't do that, Mr. Prime Minister!

The head of the Secret Service? He has to go.

Okay. This discussion is over.

So, you're just gonna leave now?

We'll have to come to an agreement.

You'll have to give up something.

Something.

- Hi. - Were you careful while driving here?

Yes, of course.

I have a message for Legija from Duća.

Duća says we have to go to Plan B.

The Unit has to blow the bridges, take over the airport, the government.

No use in waiting any longer.

That's exactly what he said.

Beat it. I'll let you know what the Commander says.

We have two confirmations that Zvezdan Jovanović was the shooter.

- We have to bring him in. - Why not arrest him?

We're in a state of emergency. You have everything you need.

He's a member of the Unit, that's what makes this complicated.

They could take the soldiers out into the streets again.

If we arrest one of their men, it will turn into a full-blown armed conflict.

We need time to prepare both the military and the police.

If we're gonna take that route.

Are you saying that the man who killed the Prime Minister is untouchable?

Why not call them over for a meeting?

- A collegium. - What kind of collegium?

We tell them we need their help.

We're low on manpower, and they're not doing anything.

They come by, and we arrest them.

We're arresting all of them?

No, they're coming in for a police interview.

We have reasonable doubt about Zvezdan committing the assassination.

The rest we'll know when he talks.

And when they come armed?

Who's gonna arrest them? You, guys?

Good morning.

- Good morning, Steva. - Hello.

Ljilja Buha was the breaking news.

"After being kidnapped almost a year ago,

"they moved me once a month so nobody could find me."

How is she giving interviews from detention?

Interview?

This leaked from her police statement.

If someone had her story, they'd sell a million copies today.

Would you like that? Having an exclusive

with the woman who was kidnapped by the Prime Minister's killers?

- What's this? - No idea. Everything's gone to hell.

Danica? Go to the press conference at the government. Raša can come with you.

And please, don't ask any questions. Hurry up.

Steva!

What now? You can't just sit around doing nothing.

Come to my office, please.

Raša, was it this one?

Fuck!

- Fucking peanuts! - I've told her a hundred times.

Okay, okay.

It's okay. Kid...

- Repeat to me exactly what he said? - That we should wait.

- You told him everything? - Yes, exactly like you said.

The bridges, the airport, the government, Plan B.

- And he said we should wait? - Yes, he'll contact us.

Shit.

What time is it?

- When's she coming back? - It's still early.

- What? - It's early.

Early? Are you crazy?

If that cow talks, we are on top of the Most Wanted List.

She won't, we're cousins.

Do you know when your mom's coming back from work?

No, Mr. Dušan. Why can't I go to school?

Because you can't, that's why.

She's not going back to work tomorrow.

Come on. The kid's not going to school.

They haven't used a phone since we got here. What else can they do?

Kid... have a seat.

You'll buy a house out of town, in the countryside.

- A cottage. - Okay.

We'll lay low there until Legija gets to action.

That's a good plan.

Not you... no. Your mom's gonna buy it.

- I should do it, it's dangerous. - It's suspicious.

You having cash.

Your mom's another story.

People know you got her that job, she's already exposed.

Hey...

Can we trust her?

We can. Yes.

She knows very well what we did for her and the Kid.

You think they'll buy this story?

They're coming.

Excuse me. I'm gonna have to ask you to hand in your weapons, please.

Hand in our weapons? To whom? To you?

Those are the orders. There are signs everywhere.

Not a chance.

Call your boss, tell him who's here.

- When did these measures take effect? - Same time as the state of emergency.

That's the directive, I can't let you pass.

Everyone who was in contact with the Zemun Clan

has to be found and questioned.

If I was one of them, this goes for me, too.

No need to be offended. The Prime Minister was killed.

We need to check everything.

Inspector Rakić will explain to you the whole situation.

What situation?

There is no collegium.

This is a police interview.

Those involved in planning and carrying out the assassination were arrested.

Many of them mention your names.

In order to investigate everything, we need to talk to you.

Guys...

Are you aware of who you're arresting?

As of yesterday, 283 people have been detained,

and 227 of them have been held in custody.

The results so far indicate

that the Republic of Serbia's Government has made all the necessary efforts

and has successfully begun fighting against organized crime.

We're convinced that we will--

Yes.

We've covered everything, you'll get an announcement. That's all, thank you.

Has anyone seen it, the army?

There is no filming outside the Police HQ. They always had restrictions.

What?

The Special Ops Unit is in front of the police HQ.

They must've got a big shot.

I have to go, I'm getting a call.

Raša, go back to the office and give this to Vera to type it out.

- Where are you going? - To handle something.

Danica, fuck!

Ljuba!

Wait up!

What do you want?

What are the Red Berets doing in front of Police HQ?

You know I can't tell you that.

How did information leak about Ljilja Buha?

I can't publish anything, and then her statement leaks.

What can I do? I can't control the leaks, Danica!

I've known you for ages. I won't publish anything without your approval.

I just want to know what's going on.

- But you can't tell anyone. - Okay.

We've arrested JSO's commanding officers.

Why?

Why did you arrest them?

The sniper shooter is from the Unit.

Uroš, my baby!

- Are you okay? - I'm fine, mom.

Dušan sent me, he needs your help.

He asked if you could buy a house for him in your name.

Look, mom... you don't have to do this.

You and I should pack up and leave.

There's 30.000 Euros in here.

Dušan can't go anywhere, he can't come after us.

- And when this all's over? - When it's over, we won't be here.

We can't do that to Dušan. If we leave, he'll find us.

He just has to make two phone calls. He's knows everyone.

How about this...

We find a house, we lower the price and put aside what we can.

We tell Dušan we spent all of it.

When I drive them over there, they'll send me to the store.

Then I come get you, and we run.

You don't owe them anything, mom.

Is Ljuba coming to get you?

Dad! What brings you here?

I thought you weren't feeling well. Wait, I'll help you.

What? Do I have to call ahead? Like a restaurant.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

- Have you had breakfast yet? - No need.

- Want some tea? - Get me a coffee.

- You can't have coffee. - Fuck.

How are you?

It hurts like shit. I've been poked everywhere.

And you? How's it going?

It would be better if there weren't so many leaks.

Politicians...

You risk your life, family, everything, and all they think about is coalitions.

Who's gonna sell out whom, who's gonna go along with whom.

They'd sell their own mother if she was worth anything.

Either way, I have to get the job done.

Just be careful you don't get your career done.

What's gonna happen when names of politicians start popping up?

Will they let you go all the way, then?

Sabre will pass, but what's gonna happen after that...

- It's not my place to think about that. - What else are you gonna do?

You'll be left high and dry, that's what's gonna happen.

You're in the spotlight now.

That Chief of yours is all fired up thinking the government is decisive.

Please.

When they make a new coalition, and a new structure comes into play...

Both you and your Chief of police will end up in the middle of nowhere.

Zvezdan, you know you have the right to an attorney.

Do you want us to call anyone?

Look... here's the thing...

Multiple people confirmed you were the shooter.

We know everything.

We can pay in cash, but 32.000 is a lot.

If you agree to 25.000, you'll get it all at once.

That's not enough. Look how big the yard is, the garage. Please.

Twenty six. We can't go any higher. The house needs investment.

You know what?

You give me 27, and the house is yours. Do we have a deal?

- Deal. - Shake on it.

Hello. I'm Danica Mandić, I'm a reporter. I came here to shoot...

- A reporter? - Yes. Here you go.

- Your ID, please. - Okay, here you go.

- Do they need my ID? - No, put that away.

Does Sonja know where we are?

- Wait a sec. - She's gonna kill us, Danica.

Get yourself together.

There is no interview scheduled. I can't let you in.

I just want to talk to someone about your commanders being held in custody.

This is a small part, just what we need within reach.

The real collection is in a different room, not accessible to the public.

Our brothers who've fallen in wars. It's a reminder we're not the first, or last.

And so we always know what's expected of us.

Did you let them know? I'll be quick.

Can we begin?

What's your comment on the ex-commander of the Unit being wanted

for the assassination?

I can't comment on that.

Well who can, if not JSO's spokesman?

As you said, that's the ex-commander of the Unit. It's not my place to say.

Then it is your place to speak about the current commander.

What do you want to know?

For starters, why is he being held in custody?

Efforts persist to tarnish this Unit's reputation and its heroes.

The truth is the most powerful weapon, and it's on our side.

I'm telling you I know the Unit's commanders have been arrested

and your ex-commander is on the wanted list, and that's your response?

If you don't like my response, you're free to leave.

It reminds me of the statements you gave during the rebellion in 2001.

It was a strike, not a rebellion. It was a completely different situation.

The state manipulated us,

implicated us in delivering people to The Hague.

The corrupt top of the State Security had to go.

They were always trying to compromise, disband and destroy us.

We had to show them we were capable of anything. Anything.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go.

Just one more question.

What's your response to claims linking the shooter to your Unit?

They have been trying to pin things on us for years.

They make up accusations for the worst crimes.

For the Ibarska Highway, things that have nothing to do with us, and what?

We should just sit back and do nothing?

This unit managed to survive much worse.

It survived wars, it'll survive domestic traitors as well.

No one will disband the Unit.

We are prepared to die for its preservation.

Did you record that?

I did.

The media reports that the suspect who shot the Prime Minister was detained,

but his identity is still unknown.

Unofficially, it is a member of the Special Operations Unit,

but nobody from the Police has confirmed the allegations.

Ask what happens when Zvezdan finds out that the media knows!

We know we need to get him to confess. We're both aware of that, boss.

But we're pretending to be his friends for nothing, the government

is spreading the word the shooter was from the Unit! What do we do?

Do you hear what I'm saying?

I don't know! We're on our way to the prison now.

Okay, we'll let you know. Fuck this.

We're gonna get the short end of the stick.

We're aware we have no hard evidence against him!

In the end, the Unit's gonna be hunting us two.

- What do we do? - What?

Think two steps ahead. And protect ourselves.

Protect ourselves, how?

We failed to protect the Prime Minister.

It was a strike, not a rebellion, a completely different situation.

The state manipulated us,

implicated us in delivering people to The Hague.

The corrupt top of the State Security had to go.

They were always trying to compromi...

...situation. The state manipulated us,

implicated us in delivering people to The Hague.

The corrupt top of the State Security had to go.

They were always try...

- What are we gonna tell Sonja? - Wait.

Hey, Vera? Are you at the office?

Find Goran Petrović's contact info.

The former head of State Security.

That one. Find me his contact information.

I don't know, figure it out. And don't let Sonja find out.

Okay, bye.

You've completely lost it.

I really can't wrap my head around it.

Why did you do this?

You're a soldier. A patriot.

You went to war for this country.

They're scum. Why get involved with them?

It's a matter of days when the others get caught.

There will be lots of stories. About you and the Unit.

Who's gonna talk about the Unit?

Colonel... do you really think the Zemun Clan is gonna defend you?

You're one of us. You work for the State.

They're thieves and criminals.

You're putting yourself in the same basket as them.

If you continue to be silent... they'll be the ones who talk first.

That means, everybody in the Unit is screwed.

It's important people hear your side of the story.

And try to understand why you did this.

That you're not a piece of trash, dealing heroin.

You're an honorable man.

If I'm not mistaken, your mother was a reporter too?

She was. But she stopped more than 10 years ago.

- Raša, we ready? - Just a sec.

We'll start soon.

I know she had problems with the Secret Service as well. I'm sorry about that.

- We're ready. - Ready.

Mr. Petrović, you were the head of the State Security Service

from January 2001 until November that year.

You were replaced after the Special Ops Unit's rebellion.

They requested replacing the Minister of Police, Dušan Mihajlović.

Instead, the head of the State Security Service was replaced. Why?

The Unit didn't organize the armed rebellion.

It's former, replaced commander, Milorad Ulemek Legija did.

Nobody from State Security deceived the Unit.

The late Prime Minister knew that very well.

The Hague...

That's the story Legija's been spreading around. First in the Unit.

He's presenting himself as someone who can protect them,

but he's only looking out for himself and his influence.

He was afraid of being arrested.

Don't forget that on 12 November 2001,

his testimony in the Ibarska Highway case was scheduled.

But Legija wasn't on the indictment for that.

He was called in as a witness.

From the first day we took over, my deputy and I,

we opened the unsolved cases from Slobodan Milošević's regime.

Everywhere we looked, dead bodies would pop up.

All crimes had the same principles.

People from State structures were involved

as well as those who got rich in dubious ways.

It was only a matter of time before Legija would be on an indictment.

And he knew that. That's why he was scared.

The armed rebellion was his way of showing how strong he was.

Unfortunately, he succeeded.

Just look at who became head of the Service after us.

Legija's man, Milorad Bracanović.

He was involved in crimes from Milošević's era.

That was the motive for armed men being on the streets.

Yes?

Wait, wait, who are you?

Boris?

What's the name of the warden?

I'll be right there.

If I tell you everything...

I need assurance from you on two specific matters.

First of all...

I want your assurance that my family will be safe.

And second of all...

I want your assurance that nobody will touch the Unit.

- If a Unit member was involved... - No!

You'll have my statement and confession. Everything.

But there can be no "buts". Are you looking into someone else from the Unit?

Nobody at the moment.

I want your assurance it will stay that way.

You have it.

We went there...

To the building that he was shot from.

We went there a few days in a row.

But Ðinđić didn't come to the government building.

We sat and waited that day as well.

I put a blanket over the window.

I sat in a chair.

The barrel of the rifle was sticking out of the window. Nobody could see me.

I smoked Davidoff

and I would throw away my stubs in a box I had in my pocket.

It's possible I accidentally dropped a stub on the floor.

Then we got a text that Ðinđić was on his way from the residence.

His security guard was the first to get out of the car.

He took the crutches out.

Then, Ðinđić came out of the car.

He was in a weird position. Kind of on the side.

The first bullet hit him.

I shot the second one to confirm the hit.

I didn't mean to shoot the security guard.

I did it out of personal conviction.

I didn't expect any monetary reward. Nor did I receive one.

My goal was to prevent the extradition of Serbian heroes to the Hague Tribunal.

I acted without the knowledge of my commanders and comrades from JSO.

But you didn't act alone.

I knew we would get caught.

The moment Legija got me involved with those idiots.

Who else participated in the assassination?

Aca Simović and two others... I was working on the assignment with them.

One of them was Ant, I don't know his real name.

The other one was Uroš, they call him the Kid. I don't know his last name.

Ant is Nenad Mraović.

And the other guy, Uroš, can you describe him?

He has short, black hair.

Medium build, around 180 cm.

- We have a message for Dušan. - From Legija?

He says, "Run to the woods".

- Is that some kind of code? - What code?!

From this moment, every minute counts. Run to the woods.

- What about Plan B? - To the woods!

Close the door.

What did I tell you?!

Where did you get the idea to go around taking statements?

You're not alone in this.

Do you understand what kind of trouble you could've gotten us into?

The Unit's spokesman's statement is good. We can broadcast it.

- Okay. - But forget about Petrović.

But one doesn't make sense without the other.

I interviewed Petrović because he was replaced post-rebellion.

Petrović has nothing to do with the main news on the shooter.

Go tell Vera to find the spokesman's photo.

Who did you talk to? Who told you Petrović couldn't be broadcast?

What do you care?

Sonja...

The real story is why Ðinđić was killed and who's involved.

It goes beyond the Zemun Clan, maybe even beyond Legija.

Legija's guy was the head of State Security up until a month ago.

- Danica... - Trust me.

We should look into all crimes from the last 10 years.

Starting from the Ibarska killing.

We have the verdict, but Legija wasn't charged.

He used the Unit to get power.

The real question is who's using him all this time.

No. Do as I said.

If you want to investigate, then do it. But no broadcasting.

We're done here.

Okay.

Did he say when he'd call?

He didn't, I'm not an idiot.

He said "to the woods" and that every minute counts.

Call him.

Call Legija.

Call that little piece of shit! He'll screw us over!

They know about the hideouts and they've got Zvezdan.

Free message. The customer you have dialed is unavailable at the moment.

Fuck you!

What did your mom say? When will she call?

As soon as she's done.

Call her.

Why the fuck are you staring at me?! Call her, you moron!

Mom, I'm here with Dušan. Is it done?

Great. Great, okay.

Get ready and wait for me at the apartment.

Be ready to go downstairs as soon as I call. Okay.

- It's done. - Your mom is one in a million.

Nothing like fellow countrymen. We're leaving. Get me my jacket.

When did he get out of the building?

Uroš Ristić, 19. Place of birth: Prizren, Kosovo.

New Belgrade drug dealers know him.

The goods from the Clan and money for the Clan go through him.

- Do we have an address? - They'll let us know.

We're almost there.

What the fuck?

What is it?

Something's wrong.

Two cars are at the traffic light.

I also see a Renault.

It's coming from the other direction.

Just watch for now.

Kid? Pick her up and let's go.

I told her to wait upstairs until I call her.

Kid!

Keep an eye on the cars at the traffic light.

The Golf slowed down. The Golf slowed down.

Nothing. We continue to wait.

- They got her. - Are you sure?

She said she'd wait for me to call.

She isn't stupid, she knew why she bought the house.

Shit.

How did they get to her? What are they gonna do to her?!

- You just drive. - Drive where, for fuck's sake?!

Fuck!
