These are Deutsche Marks.

We stopped exchanging

Deutsche Marks ages ago.

No problem.

If it's not possible...

An ID, please.

I don't have it.

OK.

Thank you. Bye.

Bye.

Hello, loji.

Hello.

Have you got them?

I've got them.

Let me see.

You stick this into the ground...

It has a swinger...

And a beeper that beeps.

Nice.

Made in China?

No, they're Japanese originals.

Like the ones on Discovery Channel.

Clever stuff!

How much?

OK. Give me a beeper.

But it only comes with the swinger.

I don't need the swinger.

That's the deal.

OK then.

Thanks, bye.

Bye.

Hello.

Hello.

How are you?

You're late.

Florica?

She's got a headache.

Poor her.

She's got a headache...

Stop upsetting her so much.

How do I upset her?

You know better than me.

Bye.

Bye.

You bring strangers into my house...

He's just a poor man.

I hired him to help us around.

I almost had a heart attack...

...when I went to the cellar

for potatoes.

You're out of your mind!

Are we out of potatoes?

I wanted to call the Police.

Don't worry.

I hired him to help me with the repairs.

Don't lie to me.

You'll put me in the grave...

You'll be happy then...

I'll take those.

You think I've not seen on TV

all the things happening around here.

About foreigners jumping the border...

He's not a foreigner.

He's just a Gypsy I hired.

He didn't have anywhere to sleep.

You really think I'm stupid, don't you?

Do whatever you like.

You don't listen to me anyway.

Morgen...

Morgen...

Morgen...

Will you peel the potatoes?

He could sleep on the couch.

I won't sleep with strangers in my house.

But it's cold down there.

He'll catch a cold

and we'll have to take him to hospital.

Give him another blanket,

give him that old quilt.

He didn't score

in the last three games.

He scored against Marghita.

Pascut scored that goal against Marghita.

Pascut didn't even play...

Of course he played...

Will you come and help me with your trailer?

I was going to pick my grapes.

But you said you'd help me...

I did, but you didn't tell me when.

Never mind...

You know what?

I'll talk to my wife and...

OK, talk to her...

What kind of tiles

will you buy? Metal ones?

Metal ones, of course,

they're nicer. And cheaper...

Have you got that loan?

No, but I've managed somehow.

I see...

Well...

I have to go.

I bought myself a beeper and a swinger.

Nice.

How much?

Not much.

If you like, you could join me

one of these days.

We'll see.

You were right.

The metal ones are really nice.

And they're more hard-wearing.

Hello.

Hello.

We're from the Salonta Border Police.

Agent Mircea Popovici.

Are you Mr. Nelu Manciu?

Yes, that's me.

Can you show me your ID?

We're checking the border zone.

Just a second.

The man in the car?

A colleague from work.

I see...

You have a moustache

in this photo.

Yes.

You need to have a new photo taken.

I didn't know that.

...or grow your moustache again...

Is that what the law says?

Yes, it is...

The law is the law.

And you can't bargain with the law.

Anyway. Apart from that moustache,

what we want to know is...

Have you seen anything strange

around the border?

Or here around your farm?

Anyone passing by?

Anything strange?

It's just me and my wife...

Our son is in Cluj.

Is that so?

What's he doing there?

He's at the University.

I guess you've seen on TV

the problems we have at the border?

You've seen, haven't you?

I don't watch TV. My wife does.

You should call us if you notice

anything strange.

Anything.

Here's our phone number.

I don't want to remind you

that concealing information

about illegal border crossings...

...is punishable by law...

It is against the law...

Being an accomplice and all...

I haven't seen anything.

That's all, Mr. Manciu.

If you see anything strange around

here, call us immediately.

And tell your wife the same thing.

I understand...

Have a good day.

Good day.

Come on, Ovi!

Park it in the yard.

You're back...

Telefonen... Germany...

Try again...

Where are you all heading to?

To watch a friendly against Sarkad!

You mean to lose again?

What's up?

Nothing.

Come on, Salonta!

Come on, Salonta!

Right, we're in Hungary. Go!

Take care, my friend.

Take care!

Come on, Nelu!

I'm coming!

Take care now...

Safe trip!

Stay there.

What the hell have you done?

Mrs Angela?

Wait a minute.

Hello.

Good evening.

I understand there's a problem?

Yes, there is.

That man doesn't have any ID

or medical insurance.

So he has to pay.

That's not a problem, Mrs Angela.

We must put down a name at least...

We'll put down a name.

Wait for me in the car.

But the doctor should come and...

Let's sort this out, Mrs Angela.

Just tell me

how much I have to pay and...

We have to wait for the doctor.

I'll call the doctor later...

They played real football back then,

not like they do now.

Geolgau, Crisan...

Camataru... he really knew

how to score goals...

Hagi's times were also good...

Craiova's times were the greatest...

All the teams played well back then...

Isn't that right, Nelu?

You were a Craiova fan in those days,

weren't you?

I support CFR now...

F*** CFR too.

They only have Spanish,

Argentinian and Brazilians.

It's like watching a South American

soap opera not a football match...

It's not as though we don't

have good players here.

They bring them from abroad...

Why are they playing for Romanian teams?

For money, you idiot, for money.

Do you think that they come here

for the game?

Yeah, I know, but...

What matters is the national team.

F*** all the Portuguese and the Gypsies.

Our boys are out of the teams

because of them.

Good evening.

Good evening.

- Good evening.

- Good evening.

Two coffees, please.

No sugar for me.

Want to play some cards?

I'll play.

Want a beer?

No, I'm on duty.

Good evening.

Good evening.

We'll give you a ride, Mr. Manciu.

But I have my motorbike here.

You were drinking back there,

weren't you?

Let's take a ride.

But why?

We want to show you something.

Don't worry, we'll bring you back here.

Do you want a cigarette, Mr. Manciu?

No thanks, I don't smoke.

So, Mr. Manciu...

We'll show you how things

work around here...

What technology we've got...

We can see through walls with this thing.

Through walls...

Can you see them?

Yes.

These people want to go to America

or some other f***ing place...

You think we'll let them?

They can go...

Why should we bother?

We have to get them papers,

lawyers and translators.

And wipe their asses too.

They should go wherever

the f*** they want...

Have you seen the bunny rabbits?

Sitting there...

They've been sitting there

for two days.

Waiting.

We could catch them, Mr. Manciu.

But what's the point?

More will come...

And we're just a couple of guys here.

What we mean to say, Mr. Manciu...

You should be very careful...

We don't want to have any problems here...

Get it?

If the county inspector pays us a visit...

Then you and me, we
