Not so long ago

In the hilly Balkans

You had me

Knew every flaw of mine

Keep our love

Better put it aside

I'm telling you this

As a best friend

Don't look at me like that

I'm begging you

Try to understand

I want no pain

I'll just tell you

I love you as a friend

If you need anything

Feel free to call me

Let's just be friends

I feel I'm not the right one for you

Though every day, baby,

I think of you

Don't be surprised

If I don't call you

Let's just be friends

Can you believe that fool?

We drank until six o'clock

in the morning.

My head is a mess.

A total mess.

Wanna burn one?

-Right now?

-Right now.

It's in the helmet.

Under the lining.

(Cars whooshing, traffic noises)

That sauce... what is it?

-Which one, dude?

-This one?

-That one, there.

-This one?

-Yes.

-That's hummus, dude.

-Cool.

I already put it. Okay?

Yeah, okay. Cool.

Like they say,

'Be famous with hummus'.

I'd like to take you to

the seaside... to Dubai.

-You'd like to take me to Dubai?

-Yes.

All you can do is

take me to the river.

-Really?

-Yes.

-Fine.

-Fine.

As long as we love each other, right?

Dubai...

So, what will you have?

(horns blaring in distance)

Can you make

one shawarma with no meat?

-We've got falafels, that's meatless.

-No, not that.

Charge me a full shawarma, but put

no meat inside, only vegetables.

Okay.

You like it?

I'm sorry?

You like the Beemer, right?

It kicks a*s.

We're the importers,

this one is surplus.

f*ck, we lost count.

I'm sorry,

do you want to eat here or take away?

Take away.

There you go.

Wait for the change.

It's alright. See you.

(Police siren in distance)

What? You fell for it?

Right?

Do you know who that is?

-Do you?

-Who?

Don't get carried away,

the guy's a crook.

Thirty years ago,

he used to be a petty car thief.

Look at him now,

the official distributor of BMW.

What a f*cking country we live in.

Give me back that money!

Give it back!

f*cking dirty money. Dirty money.

The guy's loaded, right?

-Are you working tomorrow?

-No.

-You don't give a f*ck.

-That's right.

Come on, let's go!

Let's play!

Come on!

-Hey.

-Hey. I want one.

You took all the best ones.

You Ape.

Why did you say that?

Because that's what you are.

You're a real chimp.

-You're full of salt.

-Full of salt and pepper.

(Music plays)

The amount of

money I'm going to be making

(Distant street noise)

Yes?

We've got big and small.

-How much is the big one?

-Four hundred.

(Car horn)

-I'm asking about the weight.

-Oh, that?

(Car horns) The big one is 340 grams,

the small one is 280 grams.

(Car horns)

Okay, I'll have small.

One, right?

Are you deaf?

I said three... three.

-Hurry up a little.

-Okay.

For our friend here,

a little extra.

There you are.

-Wait for me!

-I'm not going home.

I'll sleep at Gary's.

See you tomorrow.

See you.

(Dishes clattering)

Sorry kid,

I didn't mean to scare you.

You scared me shitless, man.

-We're closed.

-I know.

My boss, Petar Rackovi,

wants to meet you. Do you know who he is?

-Right now?

-No, not now.

He'd like to take you to dinner, one of

these days, when you're available.

He's got this weird sh*t, half of his

employees are people from the streets.

Take this.

My card.

Call me when you make up your mind.

-Okay?

-Okay.

Okay.

Bye, kid.

(Sinister music)

Rackovi is the

richest businessman in Serbia

SENTENCED TO

Pumpkin, come here.

I'll be right there.

(Distant music playing)

May I help you?

I've got an appointment

with Petar Rackovi.

Okay. Follow me.

This is your seat.

Hi. I'm Petar Rackovi.

I'm honored.

I'm Aleksandar Savi.

Savi, you say?

I know many people by that name.

Where do you live?

-In arkovo.

-arkovo?

Do you know the origin of that name?

-I can't recall.

-The legend goes...

Once upon a time, a huge

dragon lived there. A horrifying beast.

The dragon terrorized

the whole area,

but then, the famous knight

by the name of arko went there,

and confronted him.

When the knight k*lled the dragon,

the locals named their village

after him, arkovo.

However, the Turkish tax records

told a different story.

arko was, in fact, the tax man.

He used to collect tax money

for the Sultan.

What do you say?

I say that the people of arkovo

don't like to pay taxes.

You can put it that way, too.

-Have you ever been here?

-No.

Listen, I'd recommend medium roast beef

in the three-cheese sauce.

They've got delicious meat here.

I'll have a taste of that.

-Good evening, Mr. Rackovi.

-Hi, Raa.

-What will you have?

-Just a date cake, I'm not hungry.

Fine.

What will the young gentleman order?

I'll have that medium roast beef

in the three-cheese sauce.

Bring a double cognac

with sparkling water and a slice of lemon.

-Do you like lemon?

-It's okay.

Coming.

Listen, pretty boy.

I can see that you're strong and tough.

Do you play any sports?

Just football, nothing special.

That's good, pretty boy.

How long have you been

working in that joint?

-A couple of months.

-That's great. You're a hard worker.

That's good.

Young people today laugh at it. They

find it funny when someone has a job.

Isn't that sad?

There you go.

-Do you have a girlfriend?

-Yes.

Almost two years.

I don't know

what else to say about me.

I was born here, in Belgrade.

I live in arkovo, with my grandma.

I've been here since my mom died.

Look...

You sit here thinking that I've got

everything a man desires in life.

I believe

you've got a pretty good life.

I'd change places with you anytime.

How about right now?

Where I come from,

money solves everything.

Pretty boy...

You're much wiser than I am.

Do you want her?

Life is too short to be a p*ssy.

(Sinister music)

I'm sorry, I haven't seen you.

(Sinister music ringing)

(Rapping music)

(Rapping music continues)

(Music stops)

-How was dinner?

-Exquisite.

Exquisite?

A kiss is, the most beautiful

meeting in the world.

You are the image of my apparition.

You're a real fool.

Let's go somewhere.

-Where?

-Anywhere you wish.

Don't you have to go to work?

No work could

separate me from you.

Let's go.

Let's go.

(Bleeping)

(Sinister music)

What have you done to me,

you f*cking bum?!

-Mister, what?

-Leave ma girl alone!

-Hey, old man!

-Honey Bunny, it's me!

-Your Pumpkin!

-What the f*ck is this?

I don't know how

I woke up like this! Honey Bunny!

I swear, It's me!

-Mister, calm down!

-Shut the f*ck up!

Leave the old man alone!

(thudding)

(dogs barking)

Go home, now.

You're tired.

Aleksandar!

(Dogs barking)

Pumpkin...

(Violent bashing noises)

(Distant music)

(Door opening and closing)

Dust is all over me

Ferragamo scarf on me

All the roads in my memory

I want it all right now

Get myself totally wasted

I know that you know

Heavy chain, there's no going back

Champagne is our snack

Even when I'm last, I'm still the best

I live my dream and it will last

I count my money, money, money

You watch while we drive a McLaren

What a crappy movie!

He's sick in the head,

that's what's wrong with him.

-Where is he from?

-Who knows?

He had no ID on him.

No wallet, no nothing.

How do I f*cking book him?

Book him as John Doe.

Are you okay?

What is that guy?

Who knows.

I'd waste him now.

Straight to execution.

I don't know, yet.

-Are you going home?

-Yes.

But you'll come to my feast, right?

I've got a shitload

Please, have some.

(Door closing, unsettling violin music)

Manuel!

Hey!

Is that you?

Who else?

Come here!

What kept you so long?

We had an arrest.

Who got arrested?

Some madman.

He had no ID on him.

They found him near Vinko's place.

So, he's the cattle slaughterer, then?

Who knows.

We sent his photos to

run them through the database.

Oh my God...

Take care.

Do you need anything?

-Bring some water.

-Okay.

And a rag.

Hey, ale, taking a piss?

Not much of a booking night, right?

(Dramatic music)

(Ghostly noises)

This town stretches across 90 km.

This means that the search area

is somewhere about one thousand hectares.

We received a note from Belgrade.

They say that finding and detaining

the suspect is our top priority.

He is wanted for the m*rder

of a police officer.

Mr. Minister, please.

In case, God forbid,

you get in contact with the media,

remember this, no comment!

This is a precedent!

Don't let me tell you how to do your job!

You need to collect all the evidence,

all the leads from the cell.

All the security cam footage.

You need to talk to

all the witnesses, if any.

What happened here

is a great embarrassment

for the police.

It is a large stain

on the local police uniform.

If you can't get rid of that stain, I'll get

rid of it, along with your uniforms!

That's all I had to say.

We'll form teams, today.

Finding the suspect is our top priority.

Something like this

can cost you your job.

If you mess with one of our brothers,

you're messing with the whole family!

That's right. That's right.

-Shall we?

-You're dismissed.

(Distant music on radio)

(Door opening)

-Boss...

-Yes, Kata?

There's a woman here to see you.

-A woman?

-Yes.

The widow of the deceased

policeman, ale.

ale's wife? Snea?

Bring her in, come on.

Come in, Snea.

-Hi, Duan.

-Hi.

-Sorry for bothering you.

-No, not at all. Have a seat.

Duan...

I don't know what to do now.

Now, that ale is...

My life has no meaning,

I'll do away with myself.

Please, don't talk like that.

You're still young.

-All your life is ahead of you.

-No.

ale and I planned to have children.

My folks wanted to help.

Duan... please, help me.

I'll do my best.

Really, the pain is immense.

Tell me, what can I do to help you?

You have to summon my aslav.

I have to say goodbye to him properly.

What do you mean?

Duan, I know...

I know that you can do it.

If you want me, I can...

I know... I know...

You're of the Vlach people.

You're a Vlach.

Duan...

Your people can talk to the dead,

I know that. But, don't worry.

I won't tell anyone.

Not a living soul. There you go.

No one will know.

I won't tell.

I'm the Culture Center manager.

My surname

is Serbian, Milosavljevi.

My father is from Southern Serbia.

-But I won't tell.

-Please, take this money.

But I won't tell anyone.

(Sinister music)

Come on, get going!

(Giggling)

You're pretty.

You're gonna like this one.

Let's go inside.

So what?

We can make a round.

Let's say,

we check the premises.

Come on, don't be so stiff!

Come on, dude! Let's go!

dancing, cheering)

(Funky dance music continues)

(Rap music - in-audible)

Don't you know

that there's a maniac on the loose?

I hope he's not here.

Not, while we are here.

Officer, do we check their ID's or what?

Your ID, please.

-What?

-Are you deaf?

Your ID.

Routine check.

Underage.

Don't you know that serving alcohol

to minors is an offense?

So, why don't you arrest us?

I'll let you off with a warning,

but don't do it again.

See you.

(Night crickets singing)

(Dogs barking)

(Door opening)

Manuel!

Is that you?

Yes.

Come here.

What happened with the madman?

Hmm!

Do you hear me?

Manuel.

Why are you so tense?

You should relax a little, you know?

Do you hear me?

Come on, relax... that's right.

Come on, Manuel.

Do it for me.
