That's the way he is.

I knew it wasn't fair to make jokes

with Fabian in my friends' presence.

I just couldn't hold out.

I felt the need to loosen up our friendship.

To make space for jokes, too.

On the other hand,

I couldn't keep my mouth shut,

after being fascinated with Fabian's theories

and predictions of upcoming events.

But he didn't get mad.

However, it seems that he took

this as a challenge

the same way I felt the need

to correct my mistake.

Check how straight this is!

Please.

Do you see how the things

are happening rhythmically?

I see. If data is correct.

We can check that out.

The newspapers are in the closet.

Please, don't.

I believe you.

Good.

Check out this curve.

It's like a diagram of a sound wave.

You have a peak, a valley, a valley,

a peak, a peak, a valley...

Exactly.

If you have a valley behind the peak,

and a peak behind the valley,

what does it mean?

We are able to know what

will happen beforehand.

Right.

You don't believe it?

- I do.

You are not really convinced, are you?

Allow me to show you.

Now it's an opportunity.

Very soon, something will

happen in our neighborhood.

In our street, more precisely.

- A crime?

A small one. A fight.

A hit by a blunt object.

Possibly a skull fracture,

or a fist hit.

In one day.

That's tomorrow.

Are you sure?

- 95%.

It will happen in our local bar.

It's the only one around.

After all, we may go there

tomorrow night and see for ourselves.

Ok?

- Ok.

I have to go home, you know.

I have to give a medicine to my mother.

Why are you so depressed?

I don't want to moralize.

Sorry, I was just...

One needs to be...

- Honest, right?

Those are ideas of that guy of yours.

Yes. One cannot get rid

of it just like that.

If this was dishonest, it could

have been predicted two months ago.

You're the only one who

believes in such theories.

I have to go now.

See you. Bye!

Still nothing, then?

There's always a possibility of error

in the calculations.

I think we just need to be patient.

Have I told you?

We should help! - No, let's go.

There's enough helpers already.

Mr Fabian.

You're not saying anything.

Is there something new about statistics?

It's always new and always old.

I knew you're about

to put it philosophically.

This time it isn't philosophically.

In statistics, everything is old, you know.

The events rotate commonly.

In that sense, the monotony rules.

The new things are people.

The new are perpetrations

and even their methods.

That's what I ask you.

Since you're dealing with

our neighborhood already,

can you predict something new around here?

A massacre, maybe?

I don't know how to tell you this.

You were very fascinated some days ago.

I'm a bit scared to tell.

Why? Like it's unusual

to see a fight in a bar.

Watch out there!

There you see.

Soon it's our turn.

Yes, I was fascinated.

One cannot even lie to you since

you note down lying as well.

It means that we made a part

of our neighbourhood better. Right?

You think about me?

- Yes.

You probably have your own dark sides, too.

- I'm not an exception either.

I can see you're concealing something.

Something is going to happen, right?

I don't want to tell lies.

It concerns you.

Me?

- Only indirectly, I mean.

You work in Trnje elementary school, right?

- Yes.

Something will happen there.

A fraud.

Are they going to find the culprit?

- Yes.

Do you know who is it?

- I do.

The school's secretary.

Dragec, tell me this. You've been in those

school boards. You may know better than me.

How are we doing financially?

Bad. How else the school can do?

- I know, but...

How do the things about

our bookkeeping look like?

Ana is in charge of it.

Social Accounting Service

does not bother us.

Good.

The things are doing good, eh?

- Yes.

Is there anything...

There's some small manipulations

about working hours and the inventory,

but generally, the things are doing ok.

SAS doesn't bother us.

That's the most important thing!

Is there anything bigger?

Something bigger is only Ana able to make.

But you know her.

She doesn't have a talent for this.

- Yes, I know.

But I've heard a rumor that someone

in our school is stealing seriously.

Stealing in our school?

I can't believe this, but...

The inspector comes tomorrow.

- Tomorrow?

Oh, that's you?

Good evening.

Good evening, Mr Fabian.

How do you do?

I'm doing good.

When are we going to make grill again?

- Ask the householder.

Sorry, it's windy.

It's gonna blow my papers away.

See you.

- Bye. Good night.

Good afternoon, Mr Ivica.

Good afternoon.

- Your aunt came.

You got back?

How come you're never at home?

How come you always arrive

when I'm not at home?

I met your tenant.

A wonderful man.

I just wonder how he can stand you.

Yes, I see you've find him a house duty.

- I'll make one for you, don't worry.

And then we're gonna have some coffee.

I've brought a schnapps, too.

But you haven't deserved it.

- I will deserve. What should I do?

Shake this rug.

But don't get dusty.

Mr Fabian...

It came true.

- What?

Your prediction about the school.

I've told you.

Yesterday, they've been

interrogating and questioning.

Today, the secretary has been arrested.

I guess it's roughly 40 millions.

Could he drop by?

- No.

He went to Bojakovina.

He has a nephew there.

It would be fine if he

doesn't get back at all.

I was preparing for this

many years, you know.

It had to happen.

As if it was written somewhere.

I don't know.

You said you're not superstitious.

- Right.

But I knew about this.

Even when I left to Switzerland

as young, I knew it was no good.

When I married him...

He's not bad, though.

But for him, mutton in cabbage

is the greatest pleasure.

He's somehow a divided man.

He's living in Zurich for 20 years,

but he has everything in Vrgorac.

He has a brother there who

takes care of their old house.

He meant to built a room

out of an old bathroom.

The guy needs a bathroom, get it?

And my husband doesn't allow that.

He'll never get back to Vrgorac,

but he doesn't allow him anyway.

I'll spend all my life with such man.

You knew about it, right?

- Yes.

It's like when you keep estimating what's

more profitable to you and what isn't.

And then you finish like me.

Anyway, I don't complain.

If we had stayed here,

I wouldn't have all that stuff.

I had to come to this bed.

Why did you choose such life

if you already knew, then?

Because I'm a woman.

That's how women think.

You will never understand that, silly boy.

By sticking up to the prediction motif,

I tried to told her about Fabian's prediction

about the robbery in my school.

Suddenly, I found myself all immersed

into Fabian's strange logic

that things were happening by.

At least I felt so.

She was listening carefully,

but she wasn't impressed by it.

That's all?

- Isn't that enough?

That's foolishness.

Typical male foolishness.

You became a feminist.

- I'm not!
