The Third Half Page #6

---

Referee, when are you going

to whistle for a foul?

When he pulls his arm off?

Panchev is calling for a foul,

but apparently there's no foul.

Dimitriy, you should

call for a foul...

A masterpiece! What a

sumptuous kick...

...but the goalie Tsrnchev

blocks this wonderful shot.

Good, Africa!

It seems that Saramzaliev is

faking a serious injuy...

Do something, Dimitriy! - We're

getting thrashed here!

Shoot! Shoot!

Give us more rakiya!

Wait, wait...

It's been disallowed!

It's not right! Smack him!

Smack the bastard...

Don't just sit there,

Dimitriy! Do something!

Don't let them destroy

you! Keep it together!

A new attack from Levski:

Jutto moves forward and

makes a pass to Spasov who's

all alone in the penalty area...

Offside!

Kick him in the shins!

And it's a goal!

Levski end the first half

with a one-nil lead!

Evey match has two halves...

Wow! Look who's here.

Dimitriy! Come to spin the yarn

about the Olympic Games again?

Or have you sold your team

in the meantime?

I brought this one to remind me

that i'm neither Chaplin

nor King David. Y'm just nobody

and I have no clue how to use it.

But it might bring

good luck to you.

Now, run!

Now give your best and more!

Remember what we said

at trainings:

Combine, change speed,

then run back.

All together in defense.

Teamwork is the first priority!

And above all, believe

in what you're doing!

Spread it wide!

Spread the game...

Go, go, go!

Now it's becoming serious.

Play faster! Faster!

Shoot! Shoot!

Macedonia Levski, one-all.

But it's not over yet,

we've got more to do...

And that's a foul in

the penalty area!

Panchev protests and his

entire team protest, but...

The referee sends off the

Macedonia player Panchev

and calls for a penalty

kick for Levski!

Are you nuts?!

But why? Why?

The clock is ticking. Ys there still time

for more dramatic developments?

Five minutes left. - Give up!

No use in having a horseshoe

in our locker room if we've

got no luck on the field.

It's not about luck, Yordan,

we need...

Damn it! A horseshoe.

That's what we need!

You have to stretch the rules...

Sceptic! Over here!

...to create magic on the pitch.

That's what we need:

A hidden horseshoe!

Here's the plan:
Eveybody on

the left side except for Skeptic!

But Kostahthey're invincible

on the left side...

Just shut up and believe me,

Sceptic! Just believe in it!

Get ready to run...

Come on!

Pass it over...

He can't strike!

But he can run!

Sprint, Skeptic!

Run!

And that's the end of the match,

Macedonia versus Levski two-one!

Unbelievable! A provincial club

becoming the imperial champions

during the last minute ofthe game.

Spitz! Spitz! Spitz!

My dear friends, football

players, Mr President...

This place, which has been a

sanctuay for this young couple,

and a true haven to the rest of

you, playing here like kids...

I've traveled all over Europe,

avoiding evil people...

But no place in the world

deserves to be called home

as much as this little

locker room.

- Here's to our coach!

- To Rudolph Spitz!

There you are!

Good morning.

What's happening?

The old must be torn down

to make way for the New.

Our Prime Minister Filov and

his Government guarantee

the safety of your

lives and your property...

According to the Law for National

Protection, persons of Jewish descent

are to be defined as "those whose

parents are Jewish, those whose"

parents are Jewish and

converted to Christianity,

those born in a

Jewish-Christian marriage,

"and those born in a

Jewish-Muslim marriage."

I saw Zahariev, the neighbor.

He works for the police.

He says they're sending us to

Bulgaria as forced labor.

Why? Have they run out

of Jews in Bulgaria?

I heard that 43 members of

the Bulgarian Parliament

have signed a proclamation

against this deportation.

By the time the word gets here,

all of us will already be gone.

- Gone? Gone where?

- I wish i knew, Pepo.

We will be remembered

as barbarians.

Barbarians? Don't be

pathetic, Pavlov.

Barbarians are like primitive

organisms:

They prey, devour, and

afterwards they fart...

Barbaric tribes have no need

for ideology,

no visions of racial unity, no

dreams of a better society,

and no sophisticated system

for mass purification.

A primitive mind would never be

able to conceive or execute such

a complex idea as ours. The

action you're witnessing today,

Pavlov, presents the zenith

of civilized man!

Loyalty to the new order cannot be

proven by wearing silk gloves.

It's time for you to take sides.

I have to bring them water...

The only food they get

is salted fish. And when they

get thirsty, the guards ask

- for money for water.

- You mustn't go there!

Papa doesn't have any money.

It was all left in the bank!

You mustn't go! Someone

might recognize you.

- Nobooyd remembers me anymore!

- Why did you put that on?

I've got to go, Kosta.

Evey bird with its own flock.

What else can I do? My people

have renounced me.

I belong to no one. - You

belong to me! You're my wife.

You?

They sent you?

Garvanoff has a sick

sense of humor.

Raphael Cohen.

Cohen! Raphael Cohen!

You've got two minutes.

My name is Kostadin.

I live with your daughter.

Rebecca sends you this. She

wanted to deliver it in person,

but i locked her up in

the locker-room.

She cried! Begging me to! Et her

out... But it s too dangerous.

So, that's it. Take it.

Come on, take it.

Rebecca is pregnant.

We're going to have a baby.

So... you've locked her up?

Smart move. Y did the same

once, but it did no good.

She ran away with you.

For the baby.

A gift from grandpa.

This is my father, Shimon.

And my sisters...

And this is me and Rebecca's

mother when we were young.

What was her name?

Hannah. She was...

Vey beautiful.

That's all that's left

of my whole life.

We'll look after them

until you come back.

Let's not kid each other, boy.

I'm not coming back.

Tell my daughter... things

didn't work out my way.

My world is falling apak.

It's your turn now!

Look after yourself, boy.

Look after yourself...

Don Raphael.

The Ministry of Sport has annulled

the National League finals.

Levski have been declared

the new champions following

the formal award of a three-nil

victory against Macedonia.

And here is the weather

forecast:
Partly cloudy

with a chance of

rain in the afternoon.

We continue our broadcast

with popular music...

On a day like this, many years

ago, it was my birthday.

My father surprised me with

a gift, my mrst football.

I couldn't take my eyes off it.

I took it everywhere,

even to the outhouse

on our family farm. When i

pulled down my trousers,

the ball slipped away,

and fell right into a pile of sh*t.

A shiny ball sinking into sh*t...

When i think about it now,

it seems like this event

determined my entire life.

I'm frightened, Dimitriy!

The Italians are behind those

mountains. They don't persecute

your people. Yf you can make it
