(White noise)
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
(Sexual noises, heavy breathing)

Did you at least fuck someone?
Cut the crap.
Chop that food
and stop fucking with me.
Fuck? I spent the night
drinking with Brka.
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?
-That one, over there.
-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 ass.
We're the importers,
this one is surplus.
Fuck, 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 fucking country we live in.
Give me back that money!
Give it back!
Fucking dirty money. Dirty money.
The guy's loaded, right?
-Are you working tomorrow?
-No.
-You don't give a fuck.
-That's right.
Come on, let's go!
Let's play!
(Men yelling, playing football)
Come on!
(Whistle blowing)
-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
will hurt your parents feelings
Remember the class, where I
taught you all how to make a grain?
That's what I'm going to be doing
every single night
Dollar, dollar
(Rap music)
(Rap music continues)
(Dramatic noise, rap music

(Distant street noise)
Yes?
I'll take three shawarmas.
Medium size.
-We've got no medium size.
-What do you mean?
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 shit, 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 killed 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 pussy.
(Sinister music)

(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 fucking bum?!
-Mister, what?
-Leave ma girl alone!
-Hey, old man!
-Honey Bunny, it's me!
-Your Pumpkin!
-What the fuck is this?
I don't know how
I woke up like this! Honey Bunny!
I swear, It's me!
-Mister, calm down!
-Shut the fuck up!
Leave the old man alone!
(thudding)
(dogs barking)
Go home, now.

You're tired...
(Flesh being bitten)
Ah! (Yelling)
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!
Motherfucker...

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 fucking 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
of meat, come on!

-Let's praise her.
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 murder
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.

It's Friday.
Because of the pursuit.

Look at those tits.
Let's go inside.
We're on duty.
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!
(Heart beating)
(Dance beat with heart beat
kicks in)
(Distant cheering, people
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.
That's right, Manuel.

May your soul live.
Being rejuvenated for all eternity!
(Mysterious music)
I don't believe this.
Fuck...
(Gasping)
(Yelling in anger)
(White noise)
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
(Sexual noises, heavy breathing)
Don't touch me
When we're alone
(Water running)
(Distant music playing)
Honey Bunny...
See you.
(Door opens and closes)
(Funky rap music -
lyrics not intended for translation)
DUBAI
(rap music continues)
(rap music continues)
(Music dies down)
Did you at least fuck someone?
Cut the crap.
Chop that food
and stop fucking with me.
Fuck? I spent the night
drinking with Brka.
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?
-That one, over there.
-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 ass.
We're the importers,
this one is surplus.
Fuck, 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 fucking country we live in.
Give me back that money!
Give it back!
Fucking dirty money. Dirty money.
The guy's loaded, right?
-Are you working tomorrow?
-No.
-You don't give a fuck.
-That's right.
Come on, let's go!
Let's play!
(Men yelling, playing football)
Come on!
(Whistle blowing)
-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
will hurt your parents feelings
Remember the class, where I
taught you all how to make a grain?
That's what I'm going to be doing
every single night
Dollar, dollar
(Rap music)
(Rap music continues)
(Dramatic noise, rap music
cuts out)
(Distant street noise)
Yes?
I'll take three shawarmas.
Medium size.
-We've got no medium size.
-What do you mean?
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 shit, 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 killed 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 pussy.

(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 fucking bum?!
-Mister, what?
-Leave ma girl alone!
-Hey, old man!
-Honey Bunny, it's me!
-Your Pumpkin!
-What the fuck is this?
I don't know how
I woke up like this! Honey Bunny!
I swear, It's me!
-Mister, calm down!
-Shut the fuck up!
Leave the old man alone!
(thudding)
(dogs barking)
Go home, now.
You're tired.
You're tired...
(Flesh being bitten)
Ah! (Yelling)
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!
Motherfucker...

-Is he drunk?
-No.
Something else is wrong with him.
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 fucking 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
of meat, come on!

Uncle, please.
Jovana made the salad.
-Really?
-All by herself.
-We'll see if you like it.
-Okay.
-That's it.
-Let's praise her.
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.

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 murder
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.
(Music playing)
Where did you get it?
I stole it from my dad.
Where are you going?
Night shift.
It's Friday.
Because of the pursuit.

That's Dule's kid.
Who's that with her?
Look at those tits.
Let's go inside.
We're on duty.
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!

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.
That's right, Manuel.
