The Trap Page #2

- Some man called ahout the ad.

And? What did he say?

- Says to meet up tomorrow.

Hope something comes out of it.

Good afternoon.

What will you have? How ahout a whiskey?

- Okay.

A whiskey for the gentleman.

I've seen your ad.

I'm prenared to help.

What can I say? I'd he infinitely grateful.

Every donation is significant.

I'd give you the entire amount.

I reckon, it'll he 30 thousand.

Are you serious?

- I am serious.

Your son answered the phone, wasn't it?

- Yes.

Sounds like a well brought-up child.

I don't have any myself, yet.

You would save my son's life with that.

Of course, I'll pay you back in full,

as soon as I raise it.

With interest, if needed.

- No need to pay back.

But there is something you could do for us.

For whom?

The matter is utterly delicate

and it should stay between us.

Whether you accept or not.

- Yes, of course.

Thank you.

There's a man who's in our way

in the way of us who love this country and build it.

Someone always interferes with...

You're a builder too, you'll understand.

To cut a long story short, the man should vanish.

What's that got to do with me?

- You could do it for us.

You're a serious man, we've asked around.

An honest, working man. Which is rare nowadays.

That's why we choose you.

Are you joking?

- No, Mladen.

We need someone no one will suspect,

who's not linked to us.

That's all you need to know.

I don't expect you to answer straight away.

Think about it.

The life of your son for the life of a man,

without whom the word would be a better place.

A man nobody will miss.

Two flies wth one blow. Two good deeds at once.

Think about it, I'll call you back in two days.

Have a nice day.

How was it?

- Nothing. A nutcase.

Nothing at all?

- Nothing at all.

Want to eat something?

- No, I can't.

He drew this today.

I wished that the man from 'Moscow' would never call back.

In the same time,

I felt guilty for wishing it.

Man, where have you been?

- Well, nowhere, really.

Seen anyone from the university?

- Nobody.

Listen, I meant to ask you...

- Go ahead, ask.

Could you lend me some money?

I never normally borrow,

but I don't have any other solution.

My kid is sick.

Now, of all times!

I don't have it.

I honestly don't. You know me, if I had it, no problem.

You're still working for a state company?

- Yes.

You're such a fool. Just look at me.

I strip these redneck bare.

They build these horrendous villas

love civil engineers, don't care about the architects.

Do you know anyone who could lend me the money?

How much?

- 26 000 euros.

Are you nuts?

Who will giye you that much?

They can tell by your shoes

that you can't pay it back

Watch that! What do you

think you're doing, you moron!

The boss will break

your head off!

You will pay for that!

Look at me when I'm talking to you!

Did you see this?

Why don't you drop

by the New Voodoo club?

I opened it, I'm there every night. We'll have a drink.

How's the family?

Fine. Fine...

Thanks. See you.

Hello?

It's Moma.

How are you?

Put me on when you're done.

No, not yet.

Actually, I did.

I can't do it

I think you should accept.

I'll leave everything you need in a plastc bag

in the electricity locker under the bridge.

Pick it up tomorrow at 7 AM.

He called from his mobile.

Everything alright?

- What?

Everything's okay.

Marija... - What?

There's something I have to tell you.

- What is it?

Something really bothering me.

It might sound insane, or...

maybe even stupid.

But I keep thinking about it

and it really bothers me.

Sorry, but I can't listen

to what's bothering you.

Stop listening to your inner self.

We have to do something for Nemanja.

I knew you'd do as I said.

The gun is loaded

and you'd better unload it until the time comes.

The instructions and the down payment

you'll find tomorrow in your mail box.

If something isn't clear,

leave a message for me

addressed to Milos Ilic,

PO Box 418, 11070 Belgrade.

Destroy this paper at once.

Nemanja, don't run!

Nothing? - I'm not running.

Mladen?

- Have to go to the toilet.

Let me in,

I've cut myself.

Mladen!

- In a second.

Let me have a look...

- Leave it, I'll do it myself.

Dad, I don't want to go to school anymore.

- Why not?

Because of that ad.

- What ad?

You know what ad.

Everyone at school knows.

This is down payment,

the rest after the job is done.

The client is the owner of Mapex trade company.

Leaves home around 9 AM, comes back after 8 PM.

Do the job as soon as possible.

Boss, we're on strike.

- A brandy for me, please.

Marko said strike. - Give the

boss a drink. - Very well.

The Belgians think we're fools.

They offered us peanuts for our shares. Ridiculous!

We used to be the strongest civil engineering company.

They can't sell it without us.

I guess.

I can't help him.

I can't help my own son.

I'm lousy father.

Don't say that!

And what have I done?

As if we have any choice.

Nemanja! Tell me what's wrong.

Mladen!

- To the ER.

Get me the car keys. In my jacket!

Get Doctor Lukic! Call him!

Please!

He's alright, for the time being.

The best thing to do is to have him stay here.

The seizures are more frequent.

Surgery, as soon as possible.

Thank you for coming.

What colour is your Renault 4?

Red.

- Mine is white.

Can we see him for a moment?

- Just for a moment.

What are we going to do now?

I'll sort it out.

I brought the medications.

Nemanja! Nemanja!

Nurse! Nurse!

We're losing the pulse!

Two cubic cm of adrenalin, quick! Oxygen!

Please...

Ivkovic!

Who the f*** are you?

Don't f*** with me, you hear?

I'm gonna kick your ass!

What are you doing in there?

I just wanted to take a shower, and then come over to help you.

Take a shower?

- Yeah, I got dirty.

He could've died.

- Who?

What happened?

- What's the matter with you?

What happened to Nemanja?

He had a seizure, while you were getting 'dirty'!

No, you don't understand.

Do you have anything to say?

Why are you silent?

You run and hide, so you don't have to look.

Is it easier for you like that?

Say something, man! I can't go on by myself!

Get away from me, please!

Please.

I wasn't the same person anymore.

And I couldn't tell anyone.

I had to be me. As much as I could.

When you draw enough pictures to fill this wall,

we'll be off. By plane.

- Promise? - Promise.

And I'll keep the promise. Just like I kept this one.

Here you go.

- A mobile! With camera!

Where did you get the money?

It's hard to say goodbye to a brother.

It's hard...

You all know Petar was a good man

and how much he loved Jelena and Isidora.

Many envied him.

They have brought suffering upon this family.

They struck at the holy thing. But such people won't go far.

My brother, I swear to you

I will turn this country inside out.

I swear to you on my blood,

before 40 days are over, we'll avenge you death.

May the eternal glory be with him.

- Glory be with him.

God rest his soul. - Amen.

You must wonder why this frame is empty?
