Sarajevo Page #2

---

The father, and all the extended family.

What do you want? - Pfeffer,

I want to speak to Marija Jeftanovi.

Herr Pfeffer.

- Hopefully I didn't come at a bad time.

Is your father okay?

- Yes, thank you.

Your car will be returned after

the investigation.

I hope that's not a big problem.

- Was it the Serbs?

I don't know, the investigation

will determine that.

Are you in charge?

That's a significant task.

I believe she was very nice.

The Duchess.

Yesterday we had tea together

at the Spa Hotel.

They were staying there.

My father was expecting a lot

from Franz Ferdinand.

He thought, as Emperor, he would make

the Slavs equals to the Hungarians.

Can I speak to your father officially?

He's already gone to bed.

The events had quite an effect on him.

Can I come back tomorrow?

- Please, do so.

What's happening here?

They're expelling the Serbs.

- Why don't you stop them?

I only have 36 men, can I protect

the city like that?

Use the Bosnian state police.

- They were sent home yesterday.

Was there no gendarmerie

here for the visit?

Where was the army?

- In their barracks.

And how many police were there?

- All 36

Was the route secured with 36 men?

I told them it was too few.

There are riots throughout the city.

Be careful.

Greetings. And?

The corpses will be taken by train

to the "Viribus Unitis" tomorrow.

The ship will take them to Trieste.

It's almost romantic.

A beer?

- Please.

Do you know Stojan Jeftanovi?

- Yes.

He supplies food to the army,

he got rich from that.

But that's all over now.

- Why?

The Army cancelled all the contracts

because he's a Serb.

How do you know?

I treat his ulcer.

This won't make it any better.

Do you know his daughter too?

- Marija?

I understand.

She studied in Paris.

I warn you, she's a feminist.

And Serbian in addition.

Another beer, doctor?

- No, thanks.

It was in all the papers.

- What?

The route. The route was detailed

in all the newspapers.

Including when the heir apparent

would would be there.

They read about it in Belgrade too. It's

almost an invitation for a personal attack.

Probably.

After the first attack Franz Ferdinand

drove back through town again.

The first car went the wrong way,

and the others followed.

That's why they drove back slowly.

They stopped right in front of Princip.

That's his name?

- Gavrilo Princip.

They must be chased out of town.

All the Serbs.

Now we have an opportunity,

do you understand?

War, Leo. Austria has to attack

Serbia right away.

If we wait, the opportunity's lost.

- Russia will support Serbia.

And then France will get involved too.

By the time the Russians are mobilized,

we'll already be in Paris.

We'll wipe France off the map.

- We?

Germany, with the help of your

little operetta army.

And then?

- We'll deal with Russia.

And maybe with England.

There'll be war, sweetie.

Don't call me that.

- Come on, man.

A Jew has to resolve the attack

on the heir apparent.

This can only happen in Austria.

I was baptized a Protestant.

- All of you. A Jew's a Jew.

If you're successful,

you can get very far in Vienna.

Senior official Pfeffer.

How about that?

I have to go.

- Won't we play billiards?

I'm very busy.

I wanted to speak to Frulein Jeftanovi.

- Wait here.

Herr Pfeffer, aren't you wasting

your time.

Can I talk to your father?

Have you already had coffee?

- No.

Cornelia, coffee for the

investigating judge.

This is my father.

Is he the investigating judge?

- Yes.

I am.

- Where are you from?

From Esseg.

- Sit down.

I have always been loyal to

Austria. And Germany.

Now they buy nothing from me.

What should I do with my fruit?

He can't do anything about that.

And my wheat?

- Please speak German.

We're Bosnian Serbs.

He's a Hungarian Croat.

Why should we speak German?

- Because it's our language.

Really? I fear Austria-Hungary

isn't my homeland anymore.

A homeland is where you're comfortable.

- Are you confortable here?

If you have no ambitions, perhaps

if you want to serve.

Many people don't want to.

They're fighting back.

Injuring the innocent?

Women, children?

No one mourns heir apparent,

not even in Vienna.

It's grounds to attack Serbia and

whoever else they want to be rid of.

Did you get your car back?

No.

The file says you put it at his

disposal. Is that so?

Along with your driver?

- We don't have one, my father drives.

So you were sitting behind the wheel?

A Serb, in the convoy of the heir

apparent? Of course not.

Who was driving then?

- Why?

Merizzi's car was damaged after the

first attack, your car was in the lead.

I want to know who gave directions

to the driver.

I don't know, someone from here.

Our servant will give you the name.

Potiorek, the ambitious Carinthian,

wants to deploy the troops.

And Fiedler, your boss purchased

shares in Turkish railways.

They need Serbia to lay track

to Baghdad.

For raw materials, for big money.

Don't blame him, he's embittered

and has tremendous pains in his stomach.

Do you want to wait for the name of

the driver here or in the garden?

In the garden, please.

What did your father mean

about the railroad?

The railway from Berlin to Baghdad.

- What's wrong with that?

Some gentlemen in Berlin will become

very rich:
Krupp, Henschel, Holzmann.

And then Germany can control

Asia Minor with its troops.

The line runs through friendly

countries, towards a kingdom here.

Serbia.

Austria gets Serbia, Wilhelm gets

his railway, and Fiedler gets even richer.

And annoying Serbia will no longer exist.

Shall we sit down?

How old is Franz Joseph now? 83?

- 84.

He will die soon. Franz Ferdinand

would have become emperor.

He wanted to give the Slavs more rights.

They killed two birds with one stone.

Their opponent's dead, and the

murder is the excuse for the war.

It's not that simple.

Europe is a stack of swords

overlapping each other like a jackstraw.

Pull one out, and the rest move.

- But when they move.

Moltke and Von Htzendorf have been

waiting for that for years.

Do you smoke?

- No.

That's right.

You follow orders.

Are you leaving?

- We're preparing.

For the worst.

Franz Ofner. That's the name of

the driver.

I have to go. They're expecting me.

I'll show you out.

Good morning.

Has abrinovi's father been

arrested?

Here, please.

Can you figure out where this guy lives?

- Franz Ofner?

He allegedly drove one of the cars

in convoy.

Princip rented a room from Danilo Illi.

We have a file on him.

23, he lives here.

A former teacher and journalist.

He wrote revolutionary pamphlets

and articles against Austria.

He's in the interrogation room.

The Black Hand. It says here

you're suspected to be a member.

How do you know Gavrilo Princip?

- Whom?

Your tenant.

Bring the other two detainees here.

Were you too cowardly to shoot yourself?

- I don't understand what you're talking about.

The Black Hand is a

Serbian organization.

The officers hire killers like you.
