Original subtitles

Good afternoon.

Since the Government was formed,

there's no reason to wait any longer for what we've been announcing.

One of this Government's main tasks is

the depoliticization of DB - State Security,

its complete separation from any political or individual influence,

and everything else that marked the reign of Slobodan Milošević.

As you know, at the Government's first session, we decided to replace

the head of the State Security Service, Mr. Radomir Marković,

who was arrested today.

Under the well-founded suspicion that he participated in many unsolved murders

and other criminal activities.

First and foremost, I'm talking about the Ibarska Highway case,

the murder of Slavko Ćuruvija,

the abduction of Ivan Stambolić

and many other crimes that I can't speak of today

because the Prosecutor's office has to conduct an investigation first.

The truck that hit Drašković's motorcade belonged to the JSO Unit.

When asked to show us the vehicle, they planted a different truck.

It was a different manufacturer.

Somebody painted it to look like the one used in the assassination.

These are forged documents for the planted truck.

The signature was also forged, the man was dead at the time of signing.

What does this have to do with me?

Substantial evidence links JSO and DB - State Security

with killings on the Ibarska Highway.

An investigation was conducted in DB, now it's time to do the same in JSO.

You want to investigate the Unit?

With this...

you'll only provoke anger and hatred from the entire Unit.

The Ibarska Highway case must be solved.

There's no messing around with these things.

You're the Unit's commander. You work for the State.

What happened to the deal that the State would leave the Unit alone?

In the eyes of the public, the whole Unit seems responsible.

That's why it's important to conduct an investigation.

To determine who exactly was involved in this.

Or everyone will suffer the consequences.

We're already on it. You just have to convince the guys--

Who's on it?!

Convince the guys what?! To talk to you?! They won't!

So, DB decided to clean up their crap and frame us?!

Nobody's framing anyone, everyone knows what's going on here, we get it.

No, you don't get it.

You don't get who you're messing with.

Investigating the Unit?

I know each one of those guys to the core.

And each one of those guys trusts only me.

Okay then, let's put it this way.

There should be an investigation.

But the only person who can conduct the investigation... is me.

It will be conducted by the people leading the case.

With all due respect, Prime Minister, who are those people?!

Who's gonna talk to them from the Unit?!

Nobody!

They will talk to me.

- This can't be dragged out. - Give me two weeks.

Two weeks?

If this isn't taken care of in two weeks...

We're going in.

You have a deal.

Now what? What good is that investigation if he was involved?

Like hell, he wasn't.

Do we have evidence against him?

Do we? What do we do, then?

Go into war with him? Look at him.

That's the last thing we need right now.

But it's okay! At least we have something, and we'll go from there.

We have a million other things to take care of.

We have to. Today!

In yesterday's address to the public, Prime Minister Zoran Živković

announced that the Special Operations Unit - JSO has been disbanded.

Turn it off.

Turn the car off! We're wasting fuel!

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

Please try later.

So that's how it's gonna be, Commander?

Fuck you, you fucking asshole!

Hey!

We're gonna fuck them up!

For Vesna and everyone else, Kid! I promise!

- So? - The old man's gonna help.

There's a cottage. It's empty.

We can go there, temporarily.

I knew it.

Start the car, Kid. Let's go, drive.

Vesna... you're a smart woman.

Where did you get that from?

Who do you think you are to tell me I'm smart?

Vesna...

The people you're protecting...

This boy did the same jobs for Dušan as your Uroš.

Up until they kidnapped him on the street,

put a plastic bag over his head, beat him with a bat,

burned him with a lighter.

Here's what was left of him.

And this other one...

They beat him with a shovel,

tied him up with wires, put a coat rack up his...

Get it? They made him lick it afterwards.

Then they hung him on hooks and lifted him up until he bled to death.

Do you know why?

Just because Dušan thought the kid was snitching on him.

He was innocent as a lamb.

They even had a code for that.

"You're going to Canada." That meant elimination.

Trust me...

Your Uroš isn't special to Dušan.

It's only a matter of days

when Dušan will decide he doesn't need him anymore.

He's on our wanted list now.

Where did they go?

The house you bought is empty.

Vesna, if you cooperate, we can protect him.

Who's gonna protect him?

Where were you to protect him

when his father was abducted by the Kosovo Albanians?

I visit an empty grave. I don't know where his bones are,

so I can bury him properly! I did it, I helped Dušan.

I know he's a piece of trash, but he saved us.

He brought us to Belgrade, found jobs for me and my son,

a roof over our heads, put bread on the table.

When you left us down there to die, he saved us!

And now I should help you?!

There. What are you staring at?

- No, I called yesterday as well. - Tell them it's public information.

The trial is over, the verdict has been made.

But it's public information. The trial is over, the verdict has been made.

I know we're in a state of emergency.

Then, direct me to someone I can talk to. Hello?

- We should go over there. - Yeah, right.

And do what? Threaten them?

- You got a sec? - What is it?

Got anyone at the Prosecutor's office?

I can't get anything from the Ibarska trial. I need transcripts.

- Why Ibarska? - Because it's the same Modus Operandi.

If we find out what happened there, we'll know what's going on now.

Danica, we'll investigate when this mess is over. It's a state of emergency.

Go tell Steva to come here.

No wonder our ratings are so low.

- What's in this house? - Nothing, it's empty.

You have everything you need in this one.

Give me the key, I'll do it.

Mile? How long do you plan on staying here?

No, no, no. Not tomorrow, today!

I said today! Who told you to take it there?

Go make sandwiches, Kid.

There's... electricity, water.

- Thank you, don't worry. - Don't worry?

- What have you gotten yourself into? - They set us up.

- What will you do now? - Guys...

Turn the lights off, draw the curtain.

- What did he say? - Tomorrow.

I'm sorry, I have to ask you something.

Have a seat. Do you have a car?

- You already have a car. - We don't need your car...

We need... you to do something.

We can't do it.

You're gonna go to this address tomorrow.

He's trustworthy. You get the bag and you're back here around five.

I don't see very well. It will get dark. I can't do it.

You see well enough.

When it's done...

We'll make it worth your while.

Thank you.

I found a couple of interesting witnesses.

But there's nothing here on them. We'll have to do research.

There's so much. I'm only half way through.

Hello? Yes?

Excuse me just a sec. Can you repeat that?

Yes, this is she. What is it?

Yes...

Is everything okay with Maša?

Where is she now?

No, I got held up at work, but I'm on my way there.

Okay, I'll be right there. Thank you. Thanks!

- Vera! - Yes?

I have to go pick Maša up.

Try and find the addresses of the people I marked.

- We'll start from there. - Okay.

Hello.

- Hello. - Hey there, honey.

- Were you the one I talked to? - Yes.

- I'm sorry. - Don't worry.

Maša did her homework, she can play all afternoon.

- Great! Get packed, Maša. We're leaving. - Okay.

Excuse me, I have to take this.

Vera? What did you find?

Where does he live?

Did you check?

Okay, where are you now?

Okay, I'm coming to get you, we'll go there now. Okay, bye.

- We ready? - There she is.

Let's go. Thank you, goodbye!

Mommy's getting you a gift. Let's go.

- Do you like it, darling? - Yes.

Listen to this. The highway patrol officer and his colleague

pulled over a truck before the crash on Ibarska Highway.

The truck had no plates. They wanted to identify the driver.

At that moment, two men showed up

and introduced themselves as State Security officers.

The highway patrol officer said

that one of those two men had a tattoo of a rose on his neck.

Legija has that tattoo.

Yeah... When did the officer he give that statement if he didn't testify?

No, he did testify in '99, at a hearing in Lazarevac.

He was proposed as a witness in Belgrade,

but he never showed up in court.

Okay. Did you find out why he's in a retirement home?

- No, I have no idea. - Doesn't matter.

Mom? What is this?

This is like... a hotel for older people.

You're not allowed to record inside without permission.

Okay. We don't plan on recording, we just want to talk.

Maša, come and sit over here.

Play with your Tamagotchi while your mom and I talk to this man.

- Okay? - Okay.

- Okay, then. - Dejan, you have visitors.

Hello, Dejan. My name is Danica Mandić, I'm a reporter.

- This is Vera. - Hello.

Can we talk?

Zvezdan doesn't know who gave out information on Ðinđić's whereabouts.

They were on the line with someone from DB.

We still don't have anything on that.

The leaders of the Clan are our highest priority.

Why don't we know where they are then?

We've turned up the pressure. It's only a matter of time.

What about Legija?

He's nowhere to be found. Many people must be helping him.

Of course. Maybe it's the Military Security Agency.

Maybe someone from State Security.

Maybe his war buddies or any other idiot who's into his patriotic bullshit.

We don't know where leaders of the Clan are. Or Legija.

We don't know who's feeding them info from DB. There's a lot we don't know.

Mr. Jovanović...

When we find the Clan Leaders, we'll find out everything.

They're gonna talk immediately.

Who were the men that intercepted you?

Is it true they had State Security identification?

One of them had a tattoo on his neck.

It says here that was your statement before the judge in Lazarevac.

If it says so, then it's true.

Why didn't you show up at the Belgrade trial?

You were on the witness list.

I was.

But then, another accident happened.

I'd walk you to the door, but...

sadly, I can't do that.

It has to be done by tomorrow.

I don't care.

What did I pay you all that money for? Bye.

What the fuck?! What the fuck?! Did you hear me?!

- I turned down the volume. - What did you turn down?

Want all of Meljak to see where we are?

Is that what you want?!

- When are we going home? - We're on our way, honey.

What was that Secret Service agent's name?

Which one?

The prosecution witness, I marked him somewhere.

- Nikola Jović. - That one.

How do we get to him?

Vera?

Danica, did you see what happened to that man?

- Who? - That policeman, Dejan.

They ruined him. They crippled him.

- You're acting like it's normal. - Of course I saw it.

That's why I'm doing this.

- Even at the cost of ending up like him? - Don't exaggerate, please.

Find out anything you can about that Jović guy.

- What happened? - General exhaustion of the organism.

Fainting is expected.

The chemo is intense, it put Žarko through a lot.

The good news is that, at least for now, we managed

to stop the primary tumor and potential metastases from spreading.

The bad news is that we didn't manage to get the tumor to regress.

- What's next? - We continue.

No one can make predictions. It is important he doesn't lose heart,

that he has your support and he stays optimistic.

It's all gonna be okay, Žarko.

The organism has to get used to the chemo.

It's all running its course.

I know exactly where the course ends.

Thank you, doctor.

- Goodbye. - Goodbye.

I ran into a fellow officer from the Service today.

He's younger than you. He also has cancer.

He has two young kids, renting an apartment, very shitty situation.

He has to work.

He had two operations, two rounds of chemo.

It's horrible.

Maybe you should tell Marina you're on chemo again.

Why worry her?

It'll be easier on you.

It's gonna be easier on me, to worry her? Come on.

The fellow officer I ran into,

he asked if you were following Spasojević's attorney?

- Božović? - He said they were suspicious of him.

We are following him, but there's nothing out of the ordinary.

He said they suspect he's in contact with Spasojević.

I told him I would check with you.

Turns out you know even less than me.

I thought you were better informed, sonny.

How can I help you?

Hello, my name is Danica Mandić, I'm a reporter. Are you the owner?

How can I help you?

I'm looking for Nikola Jović, he is registered at this address.

I don't know who Nikola Jović is, but he's not at this address.

Is there maybe an apartment with the same number? Is this all under 35?

It's all number 35, but there is no Jović.

Okay.

- How long has your store been here? - Fifteen years.

Okay. Thank you. Bye.

Vera? This was a dead end. You got anything else?

It's some kind of shop, it's a fake address.

Who knows where Jović is.

Okay, bye.

- What's going on? - The patrol from Božović's place called.

Seems like Žarko was right.

He's been in and out of his office three times today.

He went to three apartments in the suburbs.

We checked the apartments, empty. Now he took a big bag and drove off.

- Do we know where he is? - We're tailing him.

Okay then, let's go.

9For fuck's sake.

Did he take the bag? I don't see it.

No, he left it in the car.

It's money. He was carrying money.

Tell them to follow the Jeep. We'll follow the Yugo.

You're taking over Božović, we'll take the Yugo. Check the plates: BG982446.

The Yugo's registered to a Slavko Luković. Checking address.

Place of birth and residence.

Slavko Luković, his address is Strumička 49, Lekino brdo, Belgrade.

Place of birth: Medveđa.

- Duća and Kum are from Medveđa. - That's it.

We're staying on his tail. Get us some backup.

Where's that drunk? Fuck him!

- What time is it? - It's past three.

The deal was five.

He had enough time. Call him.

- Call him! - I'm calling.

- He's not picking up. - I knew it.

For fuck's sake.

Okay, calm down. He's probably just driving. I'll call him later.

I knew it.

Kid... you're gonna go meet Bezarević.

The deal was the old man's going.

You're going to Košutnjak. You know where the running track is?

You wait there for a black VW Jetta.

You take the stuff and come back.

We're risking it, we'll get screwed.

Hey!

Go on now.

I couldn't feed him. The teacher wouldn't let me.

- You can't do it in class, I told you. - Why?

Class is for learning. Imagine if everyone did as they pleased.

- Hello. - Hello.

Let's go.

What do I do if he's hungry while I'm in class?

Don't make me take him back, Maša, please.

- Goodbye. - Goodbye.

- Now he pooped himself! - Maša...

Go inside, dear.

Maša, go to your room and close the door behind you.

Why?

Go to your room and close the door.

- Hello? - Ljuba...

Some guy's in front of my door. I think he followed me.

What guy?

I heard you were looking for me.

Do you hear me?

Stay on the line.

Danica, is everything okay?

Yes. I'll call you later.

Jović.

Thank you.

- Hello. - Hello.

Is there a problem?

I don't know.

- Is there? - No.

Another rakia for the gentleman, and two cokes for us.

I worked for the State Security for over 15 years.

Two days before the Ibarska assassination,

my fellow officers kidnapped me.

Why?

They thought I was close with Drašković.

They were afraid someone would let me know something was going on.

Forty people were following Drašković.

I was a risk.

That's why they put me in a basement.

After that, they accused me of giving State secret information

to Vuk Drašković.

I spent a year in prison without any evidence.

Are you prepared to go public with this?

I am prepared. How about you?

Are you prepared for everything that comes along with that?

- Wait a sec. Uroš! - Man...

Where have you been, man? I haven't seen you in ages.

I've been around, chilling. You?

Same. What have you been up to?

- Just working, boring stuff. - Really? Where do you work?

I work with cars. I resell used cars.

I live with my sister in our apartment, my parents went abroad.

- Do you see anyone from high school? - Not much.

Come on, Dunja! Let's go!

We could hang out sometime, call me.

I will. I'll call you.

- Where's my passport? - Tell him to leave immediately.

Tell him it's a shitstorm everywhere.

It's out of control.

And tell him not to call me anymore.

Where's my passport?

That wasn't the deal. They said just for the two of them.

Now scram. Scram!

Fuck you!

I knew he was in bad company, but what could I do?

Nothing. But now, you can.

I took them to Kosmaj this morning. Who knows where they are now.

Kosmaj?

You said it was a gas station in Obrenovac a second ago.

Which one is it?!

Mile is a good man.

Slavko...

Mile is not the problem... the other guy is.

We should find them before they get into any more trouble.

You'll save his life.

There's... a cottage in Meljak.

I look after it.

It's my cousin's.

He doesn't live there.

Someone has to take care of it.

Mile is a good man.

No way, Danica. No. We can't air that.

Do you know what any other TV station in the country would do to talk to him?

Are you gonna pay if we get a fine?

- We have to abide by the rules. - What rules?

Nobody's doing that.

As soon as Ljilja Buha was interrogated, it all got leaked.

They were writing about Zvezdan before he opened his mouth.

We're the only ones just sitting around missing out on opportunities.

Okay. What do you want?

I want a crew to record an interview.

I want to be able to guarantee to him we'll broadcast it.

Call Raša and Vera, do the interview, and then we'll see.

And get out of my office before I change my mind.

Okay.

I was recently in the neighborhood, investigating three houses down.

- How big is that orchard? - I don't know, I didn't see.

There's a grove behind it, and it has bad access.

Then we'll have to take the gate.

Boss, what is all this?

The Special Anti-Terrorist Unit will arrest them.

Rakić, give them everything you have.

We should get going as soon as possible.

- Where's the cousin? - Downstairs, sobering up.

Wait a sec, why aren't we doing the arrest?

It's risky and we don't know what they're capable of.

We've been on this case for a while now, we know what they're capable of.

We should be leading the arrest, with your help of course.

Rakić, this is not a discussion. It's not our decision.

I was stopped by a highway police patrol.

The policemen asked me to get out of my car.

A white van appeared and masked men got out of it.

They shoved me inside in a couple of seconds.

They drove me for hours.

Then they put me inside the basement and interrogated me.

Why?

Because they didn't want me to witness

the fact that the Secret Service was involved

in the assassination of Vuk Drašković.

Why wasn't Legija on the indictment,

despite evidence that he was on the Ibarska Highway?

Nobody dared tp put him on the indictment.

You're asking me about Legija now.

He's only now under the spotlight.

But behind it is a whole organization

that persists, just like in Milošević's time.

They survived 5 October. Unscratched.

There are men there who killed for the Service,

sold drugs,

smuggled everything from cigarettes to gasoline.

There are those who were employed by the Service

and took a commission from those jobs.

These people got filthy rich.

They want to keep their wealth and influence, just like Legija.

There he is. Thank God.

- Where have you been? - Let him get in first!

Give us the passports.

- What did he say? - The shitstorm is everywhere.

It can't be stopped. And not to call him anymore.

- We have to go. - What about me?

There is no passport for me.

- Is the house on the left or right side? - On the left.

Pick this up!

- Police! - Police!

- Police! - Police!

- Police! - Police! Clear!

- Clear! - Continue searching!

- Clear! - Continue searching!

Run! Run, run!

Let's go, out!

There they are, in the orchard!

There they are! There!
