Koko and the Ghosts (2011)

[bunniefuu]

Good evening and welcome
to the most watched 30 minutes.

In the last 24 hours...

seven gas pumps were robbed
in Croatia. The one in Orehovec

for the third time this year.

The Zagreb police arrested
the biggest car radio thief...

in history. Over 2000 car radios
were found in his apartment.

In these difficult times, our
police is in an unenviable position.

The wages remain the same,
work is getting bigger.

The crime rate is increasing,
as well as unemployment.

But remember
the event from last year,

when the children help the
police in their work.

Green Top is a small, idyllic
village with around 300 inhabitants...

[i]So idyllic that the police
rarely go there.[i]

[i]That changed last summer
when someone began stealing[i]

[i]livestock and poultry from.
people. But before[i]

[i]the police managed to
resolve the case, that was achieved[i]

[i]by the group of 10-year-old
boys and girls.[i]

[i]Based on their heroic act
a successful novel was written.[i]

[i]The Secret at Green Top.[i]

Let's look at how the heroes of
the novel manage the new found fame.

We are in the Green Top
at the place where a year ago

small children caught
dangerous thieves.

One of the heroes, Ratko Milich
is with us, to tell us

how does he feel like a hero in the real
life and as a character in the novel.

Ratko?
- Koko.

Excuse me?
- Call me just Koko.

As they call me in the book.
- Fine. Koko. Tell us...

Are you popular at school?
- I go to a small school.

Barely a dozen of us.
And we all caught the thief.

So we are popular
to each other.

How about you being
a hero in the novel?

It's okay.
- Have you read the book?

Yes.
- Did you like it?

Well, it's not a bad book,
but I care more about movies.

That's it, kid.

A little shot of the village
and then we go.

Mom, look!

Come on, let me...
- I can do it.

We've loaded too much.
- It's okay.

There isn't enough space
for everything.

It's all right.

Very funny!

Take the ball and learn to play.

I don't even like football.
So, are you leaving?

Yes, in a couple of minutes.
- Never forget the Green Top.

If you need anything in the city,
let me know.

This is Rudi.

Send the message with him
and I'll come.

Mom!

Good.

Mary, let's go.

Koko!

Come on!

Well, Koko. Bye.
- Bye, Bozo.

Zlatko?

Here you go... This is a book about me
the one I was talking about.

And, what is it like?

Well, it did not happen exactly
the way as it is written.

Several times, for example,
it says, like I'm afraid...

Well, that's ridiculous.

Koko?

Do you believe in ghosts?

Ghosts?

I think not.

How about you?

No. Complete fabrications.

Whoever claimed that he saw a spirit,
it proved to be confabulation...

Hmm?

Confabulation. This is
when people make up stuff.

They lie to themselves and
are not aware of it.

What do you know about
the old Vincek?

Vincek?

You know who I mean.

The old gentleman,
who lived in our apartment?

Actually, I do not know anything.
Only that he died.

Why?

We will continue tomorrow.
Watch that nobody follows you.

Don't tell me I scared you?

This is so sad.

He died, but he did not
have a family.

He was all alone.

I do not like him at all.

I think this was painted
by a famous artist.

Maybe we can sell it well.

Or he can rise from the dead
as a ghost and demand it back!

Dad, ghosts do not exist.
Complete "configuration".

Dr. VLADISLAV BRNCICH
MON-FRI 9.00-15.00

Koko?

I'm not ready yet.
Wait for me in our covert.

Were you followed?

Listen...

What I'm going to tell you
is very important.

I have to be sure
you won't tell anyone.

I won't.

It's not enough.
- All right, I promise.

Even that is not enough.

Come on, I won't do anything.

Light a match.

This is for disinfection.

Now you.

Do not tell me you're scared.

Now you.

Do not worry.
It will heal quickly.

We are blood brothers now.

If you hide something from me,
or collaborate with the enemy,

...you will suffer.
- What enemy?

Any enemy. Don't let me find out
you are a collaborator!

It was here.

It was already 9:30 p.m..

I passed by
and heard a strange voice.

As if it was "his"...

Whose voice? From an old man?

From old Vincek.

And?

Do you see anything?

Absolutely nothing!

That's it! I also haven't seen
anything. I mean..."nobody".

Are you sure it was the
Vincek's voice? -Absolutely.

That scratchy voice...
As a witch!

Are you saying the old
Vincek is a ghost?

Maybe it was only
a "confederation"!

Do not make me tell you
that you're stupid.

I only ask you to listen good.

Listen. What I'm going to tell you
you can't say to anyone, especially...

Guys, we're late!

Watch out for him.

Mickey? - You can see it in
his eyes he is sneaky.

Calm down,
I'm not a "commercialist".

What are you doing?
- Just watching what you're doing.

So... here it is!

The new MH-13
by Mickey Horvatich.

This is the 13th type of aircraft,
with a double beak and a flexible tail.

This is a work of art.

Milich!

What's this? Bring it.

Hurry, Milich, time is money!

Here I go...

Hello, kid.
- Who are you?

What are you doing here?
- Don't be afraid.

I am a plumber.
Checking pipes.

There are no pipes
in that room.

Stuffed peppers...

Hi there.
- Hi.

Sit down, Koko.
Lunch is ready.

Down!

Down!

Is the plumber still here?
- He's gone.

Weird guy...
- Yes, I thought so too.

What if he stole anything?

What could be stolen?

Our toothbrushes?

The painting
of the old Vincek?

You should take
it off the wall.

- Neda, you don't
understand. This is art.

How was school?
- Excellent.

Mom?
-Yes?

Are we having the stuffed peppers?
- Yes, but for dinner.

Tonight we get guests.
For lunch...

...we have risi-bisi.

Mickey's coming to dinner?
- Yes, with his parents.

I'm sorry, Dad.

Father?

Do you believe in ghosts?

What ghosts, Zlatko?
What are you talking about?

Do you think it is possible
to see a ghost?

I know that science says
it's not.

There are some books
about spiritualism.

I think you're reading a little
too much. Now shut up and eat.

You did not answer me.

Zlatko, ghosts do not exist.

Why so many questions?
And at the table!

Not a word more!

Father, what has
the old Vincek died of?

What do you care?

Have you seen his ghost?

If you really want to know,
the old Vincek died of apoplexy.

Do you understand?
A-po-ple-xy.

Now go check your books if a person
can be a ghost after that!

Get out.

I said out!

In this house there's a rule
- no talking at the table.

MEDICAL LEXICON

APOPLEXY - STROKE

I am glad that
we're finally all together.

Thank you for inviting us.

Some things still need to be done,
but we have time.

The apartment is perfect.
Really!

And much larger than ours.
Right, Jagoda?

We are thrilled.
The most important

thing is the children
have their own rooms.

Here comes the main course!

Stuffed peppers.

I just love them!
Right, Jagoda?

It's nothing special, well...
Plates, please.

Dude, I have not eaten all day,
to be able to stuff myself to death.

The arrangement of the rooms
is different than ours. Right?

I'll have another.

Thank you.

One for you is enough.

Mickey?

Do you also like stuffed peppers?
- If I love them?

I k*ll myself with them
like cevapcici.

Can I have four peppers?

Well, there's only four left.

Enjoy your meal everybody.
Take if you need anything else.

Maybe a little bread?

Three...

...and four.

What's left from the old owner?
I heard that he was very rich.

Nothing, just some old junk.
A lot of papers.

We will restore everything.
As soon as we save some money.

Rose, you knew him the best.
He lived alone, right?

He had a family, but they
separated before he moved here.

He was very quiet
and kept to himself.

As if he didn't love life.

I think he was very unhappy,
God rest his soul.

Our Rose has lived
in Paris for two years.

How was it there? - It is
difficult to describe briefly.

I cannot say that it was better.
Just different.

The city is really beautiful.

Rose helps Koko in French.
- Really?

We are very grateful.
- Thank you.

Maybe she could
also help Mickey.

With "all" subjects!

I don't like that crone.

The old man looked like a ghost,
before he croaked!

So, you also think
the old Vincek is a ghost?

Who else thinks that? You?

Whoa, electricity is out.
Neda?

Koko, maybe it's a ghost?
- Get real, please.

Do you have a candle or something?
- Electricity will be back soon.

What's this?

I don't know.

"Move out from the apartment
as soon as possible."

The sooner the better.
And do not call the police..."

Ghosts don't write messages
and don't throw bricks at windows.

I still think that the plumber
played around with electricity.

Ghosts don't dress as plumbers
and cut power lines.

Then what was that?

The possibility that Vincek is back
as a ghost, is infinitesimal.

If he is really a ghost, then it's
logical he wants his apartment back.

He probably realized
he can't get it back legally.

I only we could see Vincek
or know where he's hiding.

What if we include Mickey?
I think he's...

If you don't want your finger to come
off, you won't mention a word. OK?

See you in the afternoon.

Here are more papers.

What was with that
brick yesterday?

Well...

Someone intentionally cut
all wires and turned fuses off.

I suspect the plumber.

Here is torn one
for the tail.

Mickey?

Do you believe in ghosts?

Again, your story about ghosts!
Why are you so obsessed?

I know that the chances of their
existence are "infantile" small, but...

I still think...
- Here it is!

MH-16.

The 16th type of aircraft
with lowered nose and jet engine.

The third attempt.

It seems that this nose thing
doesn't work. Now you.

Wow!

Mickey!

Koko, a ladder!

Where did you come from?
- Where's Mickey? - He ran away.

I told you so.
Let's go!

Where?
- To the covert.

Ow!

Show me.

Look at mine.

What do you think? Why is
your purulent, and mine isn't?

Did you say anything to Mickey?
- No, no, I didn't.

I read that book about you.

And?

Well, so... more for children.

But not bad.

You were just too hesitant.
I immediately knew who steals.

Now about Vincek...

I spoke with my father.
He was his doctor.

He says the old Vincek died
of apoplexy. - Of what?

I also didn't know
so I looked in the lexicon.

Apoplexy is a stroke.

And?
- You don't die from it.

You can, but not necessarily.

So what does this mean?
- Nothing. We need more data.

Who could tell us
something more?

I know!

Oh, Koko. Come in

Good evening.

Would you like
a camomile tea?

I just made some
for myself.

Aunt Rose,
I actually came...

Well, here's a cup,
and do as you wish.

Have you done your homework?

Here it is! It's just...

Let's see...

French is like music.

You do not speak it,
you sing it.

You should visit Paris.

It's beautiful.
So much of culture, art...

The Arc de Triomphe, the Eiffel Tower,
Louvre, Montmartre...

Do you hear music?

I didn't come for homework.
- You didn't?

I would like to ask you
something about Vincek.

What did you say?

You mentioned him at dinner.

I want to know whether
he died from...

...when did you last see him?
- Go home!

Go, I say!

If you need assistance
in French...

...fine. About Vincek... we
have nothing to talk about!

Hey... hey...

What's going on?

There is no reason to panic.
- Of course there is!

Somebody pulled a prank. You know,
we are new in the neighbourhood...

Come on, kids are scared.

Yeah, I know that, but...

Let's call the cops!

Honey, calm down, please.
They were probably some hooligans...

who got carried away a little.
No one was hurt.

Are we waiting until
someone gets hurt?

We're not waiting, but...

What if we call the police,
and they get really angry?

I don't know...

I'm scared.

Me too.

Hey...

I came to see how are you.

You also can't sleep?

Sometimes it happens...

...that even the adults
don't know what to do.

I hope you understand.

Do not worry, Mom.
Everything will be all right.

Sleep peacefully.

And I came here to say to you,
have a good sleep.

Good night.

Good night, Mom.

I'm telling you,
it was Vincek 100 percent!

We have his portrait on the wall,
I know what does he look like.

You imagined it. The night,
lightning, fear...

I'm sure it was Vincek! - What
would he do at your window?

Then you imagined
you heard him. - No, I didn't.

How come you didn't?

During World w*r II
here it was

...a German military airport.
Without houses, only grass and track.

Below it they built
many corridors...

and shelters.

The entrances into shelters
were everywhere.

After the w*r the area
was controlled by the army.

They built homes for their
officers. One of them...

was Lieutenant Vinko Karas,
called Vincek.

What does this mean?

Whether he is the ghost or not,
we know where he's hiding.

Over there...

I heard Vincek from here.

Koko?

I'm good. I'm good.

Get in there!
- Now?

No, when it snows! Go on,
I'll use the flashlight.

The other way.

I told you!
Ghosts? Unlikely!

There is something here.

Probably Vincek keeps
his stuff here.

Zlatko?

I don't think this is Vincek's.
- Of course it is.

This is our basement.

It can't be just that.
I'm sure there is something.

We went through everything.

I don't understand.
Everything was so clear.

Let's go to my place for a juice.
Maybe we'll think of something.

Mickey is here.

What?
- In your room.

Mickey!

Hey, my friend.
What's going on?

What are you doing here?
And... I'm not your friend!

Looking for a paper
to show Mary...

Get out of my room!
- And the house.

What's with the sour faces?
I only came her for...

Hey, wait!

I came to see
little Mary! I didn't...

want anything! - Like,
for example, to help me,

when I fell off the roof.
- That's not true!

I went down to help you.
- Get out!

Mary! Koko, wait!
Let me to explain!

Why did you let Mickey in?

Why did you throw him out?
He is a nice guy.

Of course! You mean that,
because you have a crush on him.

Why did you let him in?

You are jealous because he is good
looking a plays soccer better than you.

I am a goalkeeper. That is
something completely different.

What was Mickey looking for?

Mary, you're a big girl,
you must understand me.

Mickey is now the enemy
and he can't come in, right?

What was he looking for?

OK! But I don't understand,
why you don't like him?

What was Mickey looking
for in your room?

What was he looking for?

If he was looking for
a paper for aircraft...

...it means he found something
in the papers from yesterday.

Look, I took them
from here.

Hmm...

What?

I know this girl
from somewhere.

What about this?

I used a similar piece for
the aircraft-tail yesterday.

But... I have no idea where
the plane flew away.

No.

We are missing the second half of the
paper, which you used for the plane.

And Mickey found it!

See? And what did I
tell you about Mickey?

It's some kind of map.
- These are the kind of roads.

Tunnels. Underground corridors!
Let's go back!

First we need to take
the other half from Mickey.

You're right.

I know.
We need help.

So, are you leaving?

Yes. I'll be late.
- I'll guard the house.

There's something
on the table for you...

...so you're not bored.
- What?

Go check it out...

T6 S6 MO11234K!

THE HEROES
OF THE PAVLOV STREET

YOU ARE...

... MY...

... HERO!

YOU ARE MY HERO!
LOVE, MOM!

How do we divide fractions,
children? Very simple. Look...

...we have a large
plate of chocolate...

and we want to
divide it fairly...

with a friend.

Dude, are you still
mad at me?

Leave me alone.
I'm not your dude.

You're wrong, Koko.

I am sorry, I didn't want
to browse through your things.

I was only looking
for a paper for the aircraft.

You're lying. You were looking
for something else. We know what!

You are wrong.
I really came to see Mary.

I really like your sister.
There, I admit it.

Prove it.

To prove it. How?

Children, please!

Be quiet! Be quiet.

What if I go with Mary
to see a movie?

Are you crazy? No way!

Why are you asking me?
Ask her.

I did. We'll go tomorrow.
In fact, "she" asked me.

Then why are you asking me?

You are my friend.
I want you to trust me.

Well, I don't trust you!

Father?

Yes?

After dinner,
I'll drop by a friend.

What?

I must return some books.

Didn't you say Milich
doesn't like books?

Not Milich, other friend.

Kreso.

Kreso...

And?

When are you coming back?

He told me
to drop by later.

He went to the movies. Not everybody
go to sleep with the chickens like us.

Vlado...

Good.

Be home by ten.

This is an encrypted message.

Well, can you
decode it or not?

I don't know. Maybe.
Where is the other half?

Mickey has it.
He's our enemy.

We'll take it back from him,
while he's at the movies with Mary.

Zlatko has a good plan.
- I don't understand...

If he's our enemy, how come he
goes to the movies with Mary?

And who is Zlatko?
But wait...

Start from the beginning.

Good.

Before I moved here...

this apartment
belonged to... - Wait.

I'm listening.

It belonged to an old man,
who died of "apocalypse"...

as Zlatko's father said. He knows
these things because he is a physician.

Zlatko thinks that he's not entirely
dead and he's hiding below surface.

"Not entirely dead?"

We entered here.

Zlatko thinks someone
is hiding here.

Or something.
- Something?

Well, the ghost.
- Oh...

Shall we go in?
- No, let's wait for Zlatko.

Come on.

Here you go.

What do I need matches for?

We need them for
fraternising.

I don't understand.

He said he'll
wait for us here.

Wait for me here.

Look, he's an excellent student,
there are no problems with him.

Then he started to hang out
with that kid.

With him! This is him!
- Hey. Kiddo!

Come here. - Watch how
you interrogate him.

He knows for sure!
- Calm down, please.

Do you know Zlatko Brncich?

I do. - Were you with
him yesterday?

When?
- Yesterday evening.

No. Why?
Where is Zlatko?

You tell me! Where is my son?
- All right, all right.

Yesterday Zlatko walked out after
dinner and didn't come back.

He said he's going to meet
with a friend... Kreso..

Do you know this Kreso?

No. Who is he?

Trust me... I don't know
him like that.

I didn't raise him like that.
- Fine, fine.

You're going with us to the station
to answer a few questions, okay?

What's your name?

Ratko Milich. Koko.

Let's go.

Czar, get down!

I said, down!

Down!

Hey Bozo! Where is Koko?
Playing soccer?

Hmm... yes, playing soccer.

What are you doing here?

I... I forgot my glasses.

You have them on your nose!

Aha, then nothing. Bye!
- Bye.

You're keeping me...

here all day. My parents
will be worried.

Don't worry about your parents.
Worry about yourself.

I don't have to say anything
without a lawyer.

Without a lawyer?

You saw that in the movies?

What lawyer!

You think I don't know
who you are?

I read that book about you.

I saw everything.
I read between the lines.

You kids, you think you can
solve cases police can't.

You think we are fools!
Incompetents!

To be against the police,
against the country!

Even children got involved
in a conspiracy!

There is nothing between the
lines. It's a children's book.

Wise guy!

You think you can fool me with
your innocent face? You can't.

You're not going anywhere until
you tell what did you do with Brncich!

I told you I don't know
where Zlatko is.

Are you a little scared?

Not even a little?

I try too hard.

Do you think I should be cool,
like I don't care?

OK.

Come on, Koko,
try to remember.

Did you notice anything
unusual with Zlatko?

Did he have enemies? Did he
tell you anything unusual?

No, no, nothing.

I do know he reads too much.
That's all.

You can go. But, promise...

if you notice anything unusual,
or think of something...

...call me at once.
This is my number.

And one more thing...

As for Green Top...

I know you're brave
and you caught thieves...

But you also had
some luck. Got it?

Got it.

Some things are best
left to adults.

They can be very dangerous.
Got it?

Yes.

Thank you.

Listen, why is your brother
so mad at me?

You know how boys are stupid
when showing off.

I know! Or...don't.

I don't show off.

Mickey!

This is my uncle.

What are you doing here?
- Go to the movies.

I am glad to see you.

What are you doing here, uncle?
- Nothing, I went by.

What if we go get some
cevapcici? I'm buying.

Cevapcici? Of course!

And then we can have some ice cream.
- But we already bought tickets.

It's no big deal. You'll go
some other day. I'll pay.

Well, Mary,
what do you think?

Look how cute she is.

Stop at the kiosk.

Mickey?

Be good and get me
Sports News.

Please.

Drive.

What about the kid?
- Drive.

Don't worry, this is only our
game. He knows where I live.

Walk!
Why are you stopping?

Look straight ahead!

You'll see when my brother
comes with the police.

You'll be sorry
you pushed me.

Sit down and be still!

Or I'll hit you
with the stick or belt!

It's not my fault
your parents don't listen.

[i]A little bird
is in a cage.[i]

[i]And the kid doesn't know where
we are? - I'm sure.[i]

[i]Listen... are you sure
this is a good plan?[i]

[i]Why?[i]

[i]That girl...[i]

[i]It's horrible to be alone for her.[i]
- Don't be soft now.

[i]It's not that. I still think
we should have kidnapped Koko.[i]

[i]No, the girl is the better
choice you'll see.[i]

[i]Her parents will do
whatever we say.[i]

Why do you walk around?
I told you to sit down!

If you do that again,
I'll spank you!

Koko?
- Hi, aunt Rose.

I have to tell you something.
- I don't have time now.

You can tell me later.

But, it's about Vincek!

The last time you asked
I got scared...

everyone would think I was crazy
and send me to the madhouse.

See, I don't have anyone,
who would take care of me...

and he also didn't
have anyone.

And I was thinking that maybe
you also noticed something unusual.

We could tell each
other what we know.

I don't know anything...

...and I didn't notice
anything unusual. -I did!

A ghost?

Don't say that!

I think it was him.
God rest his soul.

Vincek?

[i]Two or three weeks ago
I could not sleep...

[i]and I heard strange noises
from the stairs.

Understand, Koko?
A rose for Rose.

Do you think
Vincek left it?

Don't get me wrong, but we were
long together before he died.

It was all very discreet,
because it was not appropriate.

He was a widower
and am a widow. But...

But this still isn't
evidence he is a ghost.

But that's not all.
I saw him.

Two or three days ago there was a
storm. I didn't sleep and I read.

[i]Suddenly I heard a noise
from outside[i]

It was him, Koko!
I swear!

I saw him too.

See? Besides, I know something
about him, that could...

bring him back
even after death.

Really?

He was very rich,
but also very...

skimpy. He had a wife and daughter,
but he left them because of the money.

And then?

In an old age he realized that money
isn't worth anything if he's alone.

But it was too late.

Wait a moment.

"Move out within 48 hours
or you will not see...

your daughter again,
especially if you call the police."

Where is Mary?

She still isn't back from the
movies. - Koko, what's happening?

I'll be right back.

Koko!

Czar, what are you doing?
Go home! Go!

Wait for me here.

Koko...

Aunt Catherine,
have you seen Mary?

She was with that fool Mickey.
- Yes, they were here.

Are you sure?
- Yes, I sold them tickets.

Why?
- So they went in?

I have no idea.

Wait, they went to buy
roasted chestnuts.

Koko, what happened?

Have you seen
my sister, Mary?

Possible.
How does she look?

Ten years old,
long black braided hair...

she was with a suspicious
guy called Mickey.

I saw a girl
with red ribbons...

in her hair.

Well? Was she with Mickey?

Yes, she was with a boy.
They came out, bought chestnuts...

and left.

They didn't go in?

No, they went in a cab.

In the cab?
What do you mean?

What was it?

A Mercedes...

The driver had gray hair
and a mustache.

He looked just
like my father.

Except my father
is a cook...

Well, okay. Bye.

Let's go, Czar!

Czar, we're looking for a
cab driver with a mustache.

What's up, kid?

Get lost.

Remove the dog
from my car!

Hey...

Now what?
You're really annoying.

Were you in front of
the cinema this afternoon?

I don't know, I don't remember.
- Well, you were seen there.

And remember your number.

And so what if I was?
What do you care?

Where did you take the girl?
And don't lie.

What girl?

The one whose ribbon
you have in the back seat.

You're really annoying,
you know?

I took her to Tuskanac. Why?
- Who was she with?

Listen, sir...

You better tell me
than talk to the police.

You participated
in the abduction!

Okay, wait, wait.

They were a man and a boy.
That's all I know.

Take me there.

I don't allow dogs in the car.
Are you crazy?

You have no choice.

I left them here.
I don't know where they went.

They waited...

for me to leave.
This is all I know.

Thank you. Good bye.

Bye.

Come Czar!
Search for Mary!

Come on, Czar, come on!

It's not...

that easy, you know?

I read it in the book
how to do it.

I also read it but that
doesn't make me a burglar.

I think you're a coward...

and you're scared to do anything.

I don't want
my mom to worry.

I don't care how much it will take,
I just want her to know where I am.

It's really cold here.

How long they needed
to built all this?

Underground corridors...

They wired electricity
ventilation, equip everything.

Pretty good.

Will you continue to try
to unlock with this knife?

No, why?
- Can I have it?

Of course, if you think...

Psss, quietly.

Mary...

Koko.

Tie it on the fence...

Come on,
get in the basket.

I can't.

Of course you can.
Get in the basket.

Let go of the fence.

Don't worry, I got you.

Come!

She ran away!

Someone helped her.
Koko or Mickey.

You and your stupid kids!

You didn't lock all the doors!
- I didn't think about the balcony!

Idiot!

Koko...

What is it, thief?
- I'd like to apologize.

Apologize?
You're a thief and kidnapper!

It's all my uncle's fault.
He threw me out of the car.

Come on, don't sulk!

Besides, I can't go home.

Dad's gonna k*ll me when
he sees I stole this...

Is this...?

Yes, man, it is.

Mary!

Come.

What happened?

Bozo is missing.

Since he went to play soccer
with you he didn't come back.

We also heard
about Zlatko.

Where do all your
friends disappear?

I don't know.

But I know how to find them.
Mickey...

Z-7... Hmm...

N-M...

Can you tell us what...
- Patience, madam... We're working.

I don't understand this.

Me too.

Bozo would resolve this.

We need a book.

Which book?

The message must be
associated with the book...

which title is key.
My father taught me that.

Mark the first letters of the
title with numbers from 1 to 9...

and then replace the
numbers with letters.

But, the old man didn't
leave any book.

He left one.

This is the book.

"A Christmas Story"

Let's try.

"My dear daughter, the ghosts
of the past are approaching.

I'm leaving this world. I know
you will not mourn for me.

I'm sorry."

I don't understand.

It also says "basement" and
" the door behind the door".

What basement?

Our basement!

I know where Vincek
is hiding.

There's nothing here.

"The door behind the door".

[i]Come in!

Come in!

Come in!

In fact...

I was expecting you

It seems that the fate
can't be escaped.

You must be a friend...

of those two,
who visited before.

Where are Zlatko and Bozo?

Koko!

Koko! Koko!

Koko! Koko!

Koko!

Koko!

Who are you?
What is your name?

This is the old Vincek,
usurer and miser,

who is hiding in
the underworld.

And this guys thought he is dead
and appearing as a ghost.

I knew there are no ghosts,
it says in...

OK, kid,
you'll talk later...

No, no, the boy is right.

I'm that unfortunate Vincek.

And a kind of a ghost,
because I'm officially dead.

It says in my death certificate,
issued by a doctor,

who was well paid for it.

OK, continue.

I don't have anything
more to say.

Only I would rather really be dead
than continue living like this.

In my life I collected
a lot of gold and money...

and became a sl*ve
of these treasures.

A sl*ve who even...

abandoned his family.

Then some people came,
who found out about the money...

and wanted to take it
from me...

and threatened to k*ll me,
if I went to the police.

Then I played my death...

in order
to preserve my wealth.

But for what?

Only to be buried
with me?

Besides...

I buried myself
long ago.

And...

the thieves thought that the treasure
is with us and so we were threatened.

Who threatened
they will k*ll you?

I won't tell you,
they would get revenge.

If not on me, then on my daughter,
if they knew where she lived.

Why did you write
that message?

I wrote it
for my daughter.

When she was a little girl...

We played with letters
and coded...

messages.
If she would ever find out...

... about my...
- Mom?

...death.

This is my mom!

Mom!

This is my grandfather!

You said he was dead,
but it is alive and well!

Daddy...

My dear Cathy...

Mary, about the cinema...
- We'll go. But you'll pay for it.

Well, finally
it's all over.

It's not all over yet.

We must capture
those thieves.

I have an idea.

Mickey?

Sit down!

Way to go!

We got you!

Damn!

I knew it.

Look at the old vulture.

You rose from the dead, huh?

Silence!

You're mine and keep quiet,
until I say otherwise. Got it?

And where is Mickey?

The Horvatichs
confessed everything.

They harassed Vincek
for years...

so he hid underground.

Then you came.

[i]Neighbor's brother[i]
was dressed as the plumber...

[i]and searched
your apartment.[i]

[i]The same evening
is cut your wires.[i]

[i]Shortly after he broke
the window with that brick.[i]

[i]When they heard Koko talking about
ghosts, they wanted to scare him.[i]

It seems that this
nose thing doesn't work.

Now you.

[i]Before Koko
slipped from the roof...[i]

[i]his plane took
unusual flight.[i]

Wow!

[i]Mickey's father found half
of a paper with Vincek's code...[i]

[i]and then persuaded Mickey,
to get the other half.[i]

Koko, wait!

Guys!

[i]When that failed,
they decided to kidnap Mary.[i]

That's all.

Our job is done here,
and th*gs are behind bars...

mainly thanks to Koko.

Look...

It completely healed.

I never doubted.

Koko!

Can we get
a statement for TV?

Sure.

We run!

Ratko Milich is with us,
better known as Koko...

the hero of the novel about
thieves on Green Top...

who, as it seems,
caught another g*ng of...

dangerous and engrained
criminals. Koko...

how do you feel about catching
dangerous th*gs with your own hands?

Well, okay.

But I didn't catch them alone.
I got help from Zlatko, Mary,

Bozo and Czar.

Even Mickey helped
in the end.

Do you think they'll write
a book about this event?

No, wait.

You said that you prefer movies.
What if they make a movie?

That would be great.

What title would you suggest
for this movie?
