I'll take over the slaughterhouse.

You can go ahead and die.

Dimitri, my son.

Come here, Daddy wants

to tell you something.

Come, son...

You little prick!

Who's got dyed hair?

Who's a piece of sh*t?

What am l? Let's hear it!

I'll slaughter you, you prick!

You want to bury me alive!

Is that what you want?

I'll f***ing slaughter you!

You little demon, you wretch!

What am l?

You want to bury me alive?

Don't... He's just a child.

To bury me alive!

I'll kill you, you little prick!

My champion...

Give Daddy a hug.

My champion...

One thing's for certain.

Like father, like son.

Stop.

Stop!

Sir, there's something wrong

with my machine.

What do you mean?

You see,

I've already lost 1 5 tokens.

According to the laws of probability,

I should've won once.

That old lady wins all the time.

Pick another machine

if you're in any doubt.

It's not the machine.

It's a matter of concentration.

Me, for instance, if l

concentrate hard enough, I win.

I don't always concentrate enough.

Good luck

with your concentration, friend.

Good luck to you too.

What's the matter?

Am I bothering you?

No.

I'd just like to try

that machine after you.

I can go away, if you want.

And good luck, young men.

Concentration, my friend,

concentration.

It's all about concentration.

Shut up!

Ilya...

you know this gentleman.

We've met.

Hello.

You have the money for him.

I've lost the lot.

The old lady came in with 1 00 euros

and left with a bag of cash.

None of my tokens paid off!

What old lady?

The one who played next to me.

Try to understand.

Dad would have understood me.

Who cares how he'll be buried?

It's all the same to him now.

What are you talking about?

Uncle,

you're so good to me.

And I'm a fool!

You gambled away

the funeral money?

I wanted to make some money.

With my 2,000 euros?

1,000. I still have 1,000.

Give it to me.

Give it to me!

I'm not giving it to you!

What'll you do

with so much money?

Bury your brother? Do you

think he needs the money now?

I don't want to argue.

Just give me the money!

- You'll squander it.

- Give me the money!

You think you're some big shot

because you deal in watermelons?

People have no food,

you waste cash on a funeral!

You're a complete idiot.

- Take that back!

- Scum!

- What did you say?

- You little scum!

Who are you calling scum?

Calm down, please.

I don't want to see you in my house

anymore! Pack up and get out!

Calm down, sir.

Ilya, calm down!

Son, please.

Mom...

Have you got 1 00 euros?

I was keeping it for the priest.

Wait.

You idiot!

You want to get back

2,000 euros with this change?

Alright, alright.

For that, you can have 1, 2, 3...

Good luck!

You always win!

So what?

Do you have

some kind of system?

System? Of course.

The system is:

I put in the token...

I pull the lever

and there it is!

Pure luck.

Can I talk with you alone?

If you don't go away,

I'll call security.

- Shall we have a drink?

- I don't drink with strangers.

Sir! Get this guy out of here.

I can't work.

If he's bothering you,

you can leave.

Why me? I didn't do anything!

- You'll ruin my business.

- Give me my money!

You'll get it, but I don't want

to see you here again. Out!

Apologize to the lady right now!

Alright, sir.

I'm sorry, ma'am.

I hope you don't mind

that I brought you here.

The surroundings aren't so great,

but from my room

I can watch the sun setting.

Thank you.

Tell me what you wanted.

I've got a big problem.

I owe money... I have no job.

My mother and sister don't work.

My father died yesterday.

I'm sorry.

I'm not looking for money from you.

Just tell me what your system is.

System?

I don't have a system.

But I have something else.

That is?

My heart.

But it's weak.

Ever since they told me

I was going to die,

I win all the time.

So, there's no system?

I don't have a system

and I have no one to leave it to.

I've earned 100,000 euros.

And where do you keep that money?

I mean, some safe place?

Safe, of course.

It's Providence.

You must do something

with your money.

Maybe give it to someone.

Save their soul.

Look, sonny.

I'd give you some money, but...

I don't want to corrupt young

people.

You'd go off and gamble it away.

If Providence made you

win at gambling,

you should take advantage of this

gift.

How?

Go to Las Vegas.

There you could make

big plans come true.

Make millions that you could give

to the poor. Create a foundation...

Don't laugh.

Strange you haven't lost once

since you've been ill.

Yes, it is.

That you're still alive

though you should be dead?

Doesn't that seem strange to you?

What are you going to do?

Rot away here?

Life can't be worse there

than it is now.

America...

America is far away.

I don't llke to pack my bags...

Fate didn't bring us together

by accident.

Brother, we were waiting for you.

May l?

Dear brother Ratomir.

You were...

the dearest member of our family,

the most valuable.

I was unfair to you.

I was unfair,

and our parents loved me more.

I accused you of things

that I had done.

I set fire to the school,

I stole Dad's car

and smashed it up. I did...

Iots of things.

I did everything because we were

young.

You know what they say,

"Young and foolish".

Dear brother,

I wanted to...

make it up to you after your death.

I prepared 2,000 euros

for a decent funeral.

I prepared everything, but...

your son...

He will explain why we're saying

farewell to you like this.

Dear Dad...

Maybe you wouldn't be

pleased with me

if you could see me now.

But I wasn't pleased with you either.

It's all your fault.

You made me this way.

You brought all of us

to the brink of ruin.

You gambled away

the house, the store...

Everything.

Because of you, we're the tenants

of our own uncle,

that watermelon dealer

who thinks he's a big shot.

You're worse than Grandpa

who gambled everything.

At least he didn't lose the house.

And Great-grandpa was the same,

and his father...

And the worst part is

that everyone said

that you were so unfortunate,

but a good man.

You weren't a good man.

Maybe in the bar...

But at home...

Unlike all of you,

I have a vision.

I have a plan

to take your breath away.

I'm going to America,

to Las Vegas!

Not to gamble!

I'll be the assistant to someone

who God has sent to humanity

to do great things.

We'll make millions.

We'll help the poor. We'll be

an example to the whole world.

And I'll be back!

I'll buy back

all that our grandfathers lost.

So, remember what llya

Koyadinovich has told you!

Don't worry, Mom.

Everything will be fine, you'll see.

Goodbye, Dad!

What do you think of this place?

It's pretty.

And what's most important,

it's mine.

Do you know

how much fish could be sold for

Saint Nikola's Day just from here?

- No.

- For one million euros.

And I'll buy three more

just like it.

Can you imagine:
three more.

I'll sell the foundry.

- But you've just bought it.

- You buy, you sell...
