-I'm afraid.

Of what?

Of myself.

They're dead, you know.

-I know.

How do you know?

I asked around a little.

You knew what my line of work was?

Roughly.

And?

What was I like with you?

You're confusing me. You're different.

I have the feeling

that you see me now.

Before I thought you didn't

even notice me.

Why were you with a guy like me?

I so turned on by you.

Even though you used to be mean

sometimes. -And now?

Hey, I'm the chick!

I get the compliments! Clear?

Go on, sleep.

I will.

You'll stay here?

You want me to?

-I do.

He had no idea who I was,

nor my family.

How do you know that?

I showed him the photo. He wasn't

scared a bit. - So what?

Nothing. Let's say it's over now.

-What's over?

Our little agreement.

I don't want to

see you ever again.

I'm telling you this as a favor.

You got into this on your own.

I didn't force you.

You even dragged me into it all.

Let's agree on one thing -

no one is innocent there.

Your family was killed with a shot

at the back of the head.

Now you tell me

if this is the right moment

to get a conscience crisis.

Do you really think

you can just get up and walk away?

Without me you wouldn't exist, get it?

I gave you an identity.

There's no going back!

Good evening, dear neighbor.

-Oh, good evening!

How are you?

-Not so bad...

I don't like freshwater fish

from the rivers.

It's somehow greasy and smelly.

My grandpa used to take me out to

sea on his fishing boat.

I wanted to be a boy.

Do you like the sea?

You don't know...

Your amnesia is so boring!

You know, I'm in love with you.

Didn't you say you were with me

just because in bed we...?

You jerk!

I shouldn't have told you.

Did I know it?

That you felt. .. this for me?

Back then I was just horny.. .

Now I'm in love.

Here's a difference.

I feel secure,

for the first time in my life.. .

I know that you will protect me.

Do you want to try this?

No taxi.

I think I see one.

I want to know what's happening.

I rarely read the papers.

Don't f*** with me. Tell me

why are you doing it?

A professional !

You've lost your mind -

not your memory!

Do you realize who you liquidated?

Why don't you arrest me?

You think they killed your family?

You fool!

Who sold you that story?

Who stopped the investigation?!

What's that got to do with it now?

Who stopped the investigation?! -I did.

Why?

-Because!

Why?

To save you. ..

You're lying.

Good day.

-Good day.

You're not mistaken.

I just brought some brown sugar for

Theodora. -Thank you.

I thought I had none, but then

I found some in the cupboard.

Imagine that! Thank you.

May I just ask, how are you now?

-Fine. I'm fine.

I'm so glad. You know,

I owe you ever so much.

I'm concerned about you.

- Thank you. Good bye.

You know you look much better

than the last time!

I know I do. Have a nice day.

-Good bye.

It's you !

-Who did you expect?

I guess we won't die of food

poisoning. You try first.

I noticed you've started

charming the neighborhood.

Mhm ... The sweet old

lady lives alone.

A high school professor

if I got it right.

My impression is

she drinks a little.

-Where did that suitcase come from?

Oh, a friend of yours left it.

-What friend?

Inspector... something.

I forgot the name.

He sent you his regards and

said you'd know what that is.

And what else did he say?

Oh, nothing special. ..That you told him

so much about me. ..

He said it's so nice that we are

together. .. and blah-blah-blah.

You have five minutes to get ready

and then we eat!

So, you're the one.

You're really good if you

managed to get

all the way here.

I've underestimated you.

Do you recognize me?

Should I?

I guess you don't.

So, what now? You're certainly not

interested in money.

Maybe something else. ..

You know I can arrange things.

Sorry. This should

not have happened.

Daddy, daddy!

Why aren't you in bed, son?

-I'm thirsty.

Go on, have some water.

Pour it for me.

What do we say?

Thank you. ..

Aaah, you're dead! Surrender!

You`re dead.

Now this nice gentleman

will give you that gun.

Bring it over to daddy.

Now go straight to bed.

Can I stay and play with you?

-No, it's late!

I've always wondered how does one

get into your line of work.

To be honest,

reporters often ask me

how did I get into politics.

I'm a dentist by trade,you know.

I used to be one, before...

Ugly job. Almost like politics.

If I were cynical,

I'd call it a bloody job.

But, as you know,

am not a Cynic.

Positive energy is what

I give the people,

and that's why they like me.

That's my weakness and

I don't have many of those.

Well, never mind.. .

Tell me, who sent you?

Who is the man that

hired you to do this?

Who wants to waste me?

Who wants to take us over?

I thought you more intelligent.

A man must know when it's over.

It's the only way

one goes ahead in life.

Why don't you try the coffee?

So, no communication?

No exchange of lines and thoughts.

Are you religious?

There's something in it... more in the

metaphorical sense.

A man in my position gets

to see all sorts of things.

Gets to know the human soul.. .

and stops believing in it.

You look like a man

who's aware of those issues.. .

But you don't want to cooperate.

Right.. .

Let's go or do you want

to wait for the police?

Will you leave her alone now?

She's got nothing to do with this.

We're all involved.

Whether we like it or not.

Is it all over now?

Almost.

There's still the fourth man.

The fourth man?

I promised you the truth.

Finally you will meet

the man that shot you.

I've had enough.

Isn't it a bit late for that?

Who are you?

Lie down.. .

He's gone.

He only said to tell you

that what you're looking for,

why all this happened, that

this thing is in this apartment. ..

Where?

He left that when he came here.

-Where?

I don't know. He hide it after

the death of your family,

but today he put it back

where he had found it.

Do you have a place to go?

I do.

Listen to me carefully

and just trust me. ..

Get it?

-I do.

Don't go back to your apartment.

If you need money take some

from the box in the closet.

Take it all.. . In two days time

we'll meet at the railway station.

If I don't show up,

don't look for me.

Just get on a train and leave.

Doesn't matter where, just leave.

Do you understand?

Come with me,

please. ..

I can't. Go.. .

Who killed them !?

I'm asking you who killed them !?

-Some troops.

Some troops?

Wouldn't those be your troops?

Go on !

So, you've come home!

I'm speaking to you, junkie!

Sonja, give me some clean clothes.

I'm leaving on an assignment again.

What are packing those things for?!

We're leaving, Lazar.

What are you talking about?

-Don't come near me.

Will you tell me what this is about?

-What is it about?! !

It's about Milos coming back home

to get some money for the drugs,

turning the whole house and

finding your hidden tape,

you monster!

The tape. .. Damned tape!

What the f*** are you
