And we pretended to be

alive and healthy.

- It's a sign of change.

Mars is entering the fifth

house, and Jupiter is

dominating over Saturn...

Or Saturn over Jupiter, it's

not important. What's

important is that you

will take a long trip...

a trip that will not leave

you unchanged!

- But will I stay alive?

Death is also a change...

Trendafil!

Oh, go to hell!

They're unloading something...

Must be the carpet!

- And now what?

We'll go and say: Good

afternoon, do you have

a granny in a carpet?

You do? Fantastic!

Can I have 200 grams, please?

They stock everything

in the warehouse.

If we could just go in...

- We have to be quick like

Kurt Russell in "Escape

from New York ".

Or we have to shoot like

Rambo in "Rambo III".

Or mine the factory...

...Like Franco Nero in

"The Battle On Neretva"!

A war spectacle!

- Never heard of it.

Children!

- Bambini!

Yes, bambini!

- What is Shefket

Ramadani doing with

all these children?

Andiamo! Let's go!

Wait, blood brother!

Wait... Bro'!

Oh, daddy... The next time

you die, please leave

me debts that I can pay

off with money, eh?

Does it hurt?

It hurts...

- It will pass.

Are you going to kill me?

- Of course I will.

Allah will punish

you for my pain...

No Allah, nor Devil here.

Only me. Carlito!

They've seen you talking

to the US intelligence

officer. What did you tell

him, you little swine?

I fought under your

command. I trusted you...

My family was killed

defending you from the

Serbian army!

Damn you to hell...

...Shefket Ramadani!

My name is a legend.

Do not utter it!

You are a disgrace to our

cause... We didn't fight the

war for the likes of you...

- You're wrong, Kreshnik!

Wars are fought for

the likes of me...

...and against the

fools like you!

Throw his body

into the sewer.

What's going on?

What's going on, Ismet?

Americans?

We caught these two

trying to break into the

warehouse...

- Who sent you?

They don't understand

Albanian, Shefket.

One is Italian, the other

is pagan.

Shefket Ramadani! How

can you be so young?

How do you know my name?

You framed our fathers...

fifty years ago...

Shefket Ramadani, king

of the underground!

Shefket, I think he's talking

about your father.

How the f*** could

he know my father?

Who sent you here?

- My wife Ruza, sir!

She told me:
Do whatever

it takes to find Zumbula!

Zumbula? - Zumbula, sir,

Zumbula! In the carpet.

Give us the carpet and

we'll leave. Please, sir...

It's too late now, neighbour!

You should have

listened to my advice...

Jango the Soap!

If you had joined the army,

you might have

stood a chance of surviving.

But now... I don't think so!

What are you doing here?

- Business, neighbour.

Anything for the

fatherland!

The question is, what

are you doing here?

Aren't you at the spa?

- Carlito!

C'mon tell us now,

who sent you:
Americans,

KFOR, or Interpol?

Talk, you yellow deserter!

I don't know who you are,

don't know how come you

know my father, but I give

you one hour to remember

why you're here and

who you work for!

Lock them up in

the basement!

How are you doing, bro'?

It hurts, eh? Bastards!

Don't move him.

Something might be

broken.

- And who are you?

He shouldn't be moved, in

case he has broken bones!

If I'd only known that l

was going to meet a

charming lady like you, l

would have made an effort

to look nicer...

- Lara.

Pleased to meet you.

Santino Genovese.

The girl is... with you?

- Nadya. My daughter.

Take it easy, bro', ya might

have something broken...

Are you from Milan?

- What Milan? I'm from

Rome. Don't joke about

such sensitive things, okay?

And what about you?

I'm from a small town

in Romania. When I was

younger, I wanted to go

to Milan and be a model.

That's why I've

learned to speak Italian.

And? Did you go?

- I made it to Germany...

and there I met

Shefket Ramadani!

Shefket brought you here?

We've been travelling

for years

...and now he doesn't

need me anymore.

Ha! Did he promise

to marry you?

I'm not his girlfriend,

but his property. I'm a whore.

I misunderstood. I

thought, that the child...

Maybe she isn't his child.

I'm not even sure

who her father is.

I'm no better myself.

A crook, a liar, small time

smuggler... I'm not helping

him out of the goodness of

my heart, but out of

superstition. I think I'm

being punished by God,

being locked up here in...

What is this place?

- Factory.

Meat factory.

So, Shefket Ramadani

makes cat food?

Heh, that's where granny

Zumbula ended up!

You have no idea

where you are, do you?

What did I say now?

This is a factory for

producing human

flesh. Shefket brings in

children from all over

Europe, stolen children,

he keeps them and feeds

them, like in a farm...

- What for? Prostitution?

For organs! When rich

men's kidneys, hearts,

livers or spleens

malfunction - they call

Shefket to supply them

with spare parts.

...like a car service...

- Oh, my God!

...but those parts come

from children's bodies!

But what are

you doing here?

You, Italian! Get out!

So, one hour has passed!

Time to tell me your story.

Better begin... Sandokan!

My name is Santino

Genovese. I came to the

Balkans to pay off an

old debt. Together with my

blood brother Trendafil,

we have been looking for

an old woman,

wrapped inside a carpet.

We've travelled a

long journey, filled with

laughter and tears.

A strange adventure...

Carlito!

...that is about to end!

If I had known that they

were going to bring me

back to you, l

would have shaved...

Shefket Ramadani won't

make a big profit

from this body.

"It doesn't become me to

be a hero. But it's obvious

that the problems of two

little people like us mean

nothing to this crazy world"...

Humphrey Bogart...

"Casablanca".

All my life I dreamt about

saying this to a beautiful

woman. And now

that I found her...

...Santino must die!

Good bye, bro'! Remember

what Ralph Meeker says...

...in "The Naked Spur"...

Animals!

Animals!

Mama!

Listen...

Do you understand Russian?

You go first... I'll unlock

the cells. You understand?

Drop gun or I'll kill her.

Drop gun!

I'll spill her brains out,

drop f***ing gun!

My daughter...

- What did you say?

Promise to save

my daughter!

What did you tell him?

Oh, neighbour... Okay,

neighbour, you win, alright?

Look, Trendafil... let's

leave the past behind...

Get me an ambulance!

Neighbour, I'm bleeding

to death, neighbour...

The carpet...

The carpet! Granny

Zumbula's carpet!

Don't be a sh*t, neighbour...

Call the ambulance...

Well done!

You are Nadya, right?

Listen, Nadya... We

both had a tough day...

you lost your mother,

I lost a friend...

It's okay to cry.

We're going to have a

good cry, and then we'll

go home... I don't have

any children, Nadya,

but I have a wife that

makes really good

pancakes. If you like,

she can be your

mommy, and I can

be your daddy. Deal?

And if anyone asks

if you have a granny...
