TIME OF THE GYPSIES
- EPISODE V -
The police wants to see your documents.
Tell them to leave me alone. I'm from here.
- Go. Get out! - All right.
- Perhan. - Hi.
You look good!
Did you bring me something?
Do you have a light?
Come here.
Come here!
I didn't mean to offend you last time you were here. We're sorry.
I told you I'd come back.
God, this is a lot of money!
You don't need to kiss my feet.
Is it for me?
Look, he's an important businessman now!
I've made loads of money...
and I've come to lay it at your daughter's feet.
My God!
Has she married?
No, she didn't marry.
What did you want me to do? She's a grown up woman.
She did what she wanted.
She went out partying.
I don't know what to do with her.
I can't handle her. What could I do?
And the baby she carries?
It may be yours.
And you?
What do you think?
Maybe you should ask your uncle.
Jesus, what have you done to me?
Perhan!
You old witch!
I hope God gives you what you deserve!
Why did you have to open your mouth?
He won't want anything with me now.
You are a fucking witch!
Damned you!
And you, what do you want?
You're a good for nothing controlled by your wife!
Calm down.
Come to bed.
Stay in the car.
Oh, dear boy!
You came back just in time.
- Where's Grandma? - She went out to cure someone.
- And my uncle? - He's inside.
What do I see? You're very classy.
This is a really good cigar!
It sure looks like it.
You did really ok in Italy.
Uncle!
I know you are there!
You better come out!
Uncle!
Come out now.
Why don't you show some mercy on your poor uncle?
I'll show you mercy.
If you don't come out, I'll go get you.
Perhan, have mercy.
I'm paying for my mistakes.
I've never done anything wrong to you.
Perhan!
Your poor uncle is sick, show some compassion.
Perhan, please, leave me alone in my suffering.
Let me suffer and pay for my wrongs.
Perhan!
Hey! Who's walking over the walls?
And the roof! What's going on?
First the uncle, now the nephew.
If you don't believe your poor uncle, who are you going to believe?
Start the car and move it six feet.
Ay, I won't stay to see this!
Now you see me; enjoy my suffering.
What happened to you?
Too much party; it caught up with me.
But if you come after me, I had nothing to do with it.
You didn't do anything.
You know I don't go where I've not been called.
You fucking traitor! Traitor!
I swear I didn't touch her.
You see I did a lot of bad things,...
but I didn't do anything to Azra.
Oh, dear God,...
please clear mi beloved nephew's mind, so he can forgive me.
I'm going through a very hard time.
If I did wrong to you, you must forgive me.
You can see I'm suffering.
And God is punishing me...
making my heart ache.
Perhan,...
be nice with your uncle, who loves you.
You brought me a present.
Can you see all the channels on this?
You are a very good nephew.
You remembered your uncle, who's having a really bad time.
Stay with us.
"Here it comes, oh mother, a black train...
"here it comes, oh mother, a black morning...
1...2...3...4...5...
6...7...8...9...10.
You're drinking too much! It's insane.
I used to do it myself, but it doesn't help.
Drinking destroys your brain. Don't you see that?
Grandma, aren't you happy to see me?
You know your Grandma loves you,...
but what are you doing?
Don't be afraid. You are with me.
What troubles you, Grandma?
Me? Nothing, thank God. But what about you?
Where's your sister?
At Ljubljana. She'll be home any day.
Bring me a brandy.
Sit with me.
Why didn't you stay to say 'hello' to your girlfriend?
I don't want anything to do with her.
Why are you so sure the baby isn't yours?
Since I started lying, I don't believe in anyone anymore.
If you don't believe in anyone, God will abandon you.
And this suit, where did you get it?
How did you get it?
With these two hands.
And I built a house with them too.
Who's going to live in it?
You and me, Grandma.
I can't live there.
God doesn't want me to.
Don't say that.
You used to be honest.
Now I'm ashamed of you. What have you become?
You tell me, Grandma.
You were your Grandma's treasure.
Now you're not: you're rotten.
My son, I'll tell you this: life is a mirage.
Fate can put you down tomorrow morning,...
so here you are the money I owned you.
Take it.
Why did you do that? You're hurting yourself!
You're destroying yourself!
Stop the music! You're going to drive him mad!
Go away!
Perhan, wait!
Come back!
You're too drunk!
Keep the change.
Do you see what happens when you drink too much?
Alcohol is not good.
It cloud your sight.
Take a look at yourself.
Guys, help me carry him.
Bring the wheelbarrow.
A lamp!
A scale!
A watch!
This gift is from their godfather. Let's see what it is.
Silence, please.
Bread...
It's gold!
Here's the limousine!
The limousine...
The chauffeur opens the door.
The groom helps the bride to get off the car.
He carries her in his arms. A round of applause for them!
Her grandmother in-law gives the bride...
some bread and sugar, so their lives are long and happy.
The groom kisses the bride!
The grandmother-in-law leads the bride into the house.
They're beating the groom to give him strength.
He's going to need it!
Always the same? You are already drinking.
Leave me alone, woman. Our only daughter is leaving us.
- You'll regret your words. - Leave me alone already!
- You should be there, with your daughter! - Leave me alone!
Perhan, come here.
Listen, I want to ask you something.
Give me a hundred thousand liras to play some dice, and I'll go.
We'll split the profits. You know I've diced away all I had.
Now, God willing, I could win back half of it, at least.
I'm begging you.
I'll never ask you for anything again. I promise.
Now the Grandma and the Grandson will dance.
Look how handsome, how elegant, how cultured he is!
You're still your Grandma's boy.
Get up and come with me!
You and Ruza, go find some cripples to beg for us.
And a pregnant woman. With her baby and Azra's...
we'll make some money.
Here's some money to go around.
I can't believe it.
Are you being serious?
Are you thinking about selling your own son?
You'll be cursed.
That baby isn't mine. I won't rise a bastard!
I agreed to marry her on those terms. Do you understand?
Take it. And don't let them see us together.
Hello!
Hello. Is there another house being built around here?
If it were, you would see it, wouldn't you?
With the help of God, our sons will go to Italy,
to work and earn some money.
They'll honor us and they'll honor themselves.
I'm already old.
I can't work anymore.
Thank God they're young.
What about...
your son?
Merdzan is a waste.
He's only interested in women and gambling.
Won't you sleep with me?
In your dreams.
Do you understand?
I'll wait until they get home, so I can see his son.
Then I'll die in peace.
Why are you doing this to me? Why?
You know why.
Don't try to give me a pig in a poke.
That kid is such a hard worker...
I'm boring you. Excuse me for speaking so much,...
but it calms me down.
I'm worried.
My son gets home from God knows where, drunk or something...
and then goes out partying again.
I'm ashamed to tell you all this,...
but I really don't know what to do with him.
But my dear Perhan, God bless him!
There's no other like him.
Luck for me he's nothing like my son.
If you only knew how wonderful was my daughter.
She was a beauty.
Perhan is just like his mother.
She died young; my health hasn't been the same ever since.
What else can I tell you?
That kid is all I have. All I have.
- Where do you go? - I'm working.
Don't you have anything to do? Go back to the car.
Come on.
Make her be quiet.
Are you still alive?
Here, eat.
Perhan, please, trust me.
It's yours.
I was three months pregnant when I was with Merdzan.
- Shut up. Don't lie. - I'm not lying.
I won't rise a bastard.
I'll sell him and then we'll have our own child.
Give me your hand.
This baby is ours.
We made love on St. George day.
I've done the math. It was then.
I'm sure.
I know he's a bastard.
We'll have our own children.
And that's it.
I swear it's yours!
Wait!
I'm not ok.
I dreamt that you gave birth...
to a white bird and I...
Wait here.
What do you want?
You've done great, but...
where's my new wife?
Couldn't you find one?
And where's my new house?
Why did you lie to me?
You went back?
Where did you think I would go for your new wife?
- I though... - You thought what?
I thought you would find me one somewhere. I don't know.
I can't do that. Only you can do anything, Ahmed.
Why did you lie to me?
Sadam lied to me.
I gave him the money for your house...
and he put it in his own pocket.
I didn't know.
I'm sorry, it's not my fault.
It's the truth. I swear.
If you don't believe me, leave me here.
Let me here to die.
I'll give you half of my house.
Here are the papers.
We'll call the lawyer tomorrow morning.
I may not have too much time.
Y Roberto?
I used to love him more than my life.
But now... I don't know what to think.
The more I look at him, the more suspicious it seems.
His eyes, his nose, his hands...
He doesn't look like me at all.
We're brothers in that as well: we have both been betrayed by our wives..
A boy! Congratulations!
Cover him!
Look, Perhan! It's a boy! He'll be a stud!
God protect him.
Azra!
No, Azra! Please, don't die!
For the love of God, Azra!
Perhan.
Wake up. You have been sleeping for two days.
That's life.
What do you want to do with him?
No, no, it's ok. We'll decide later.
Wait. Wait!
Go wash yourself.
Don't you know another song?
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to bother you.
Ahmed.
How are we going to do it?
How do you think?
Tell me.
We'll be like a family.
- And when do I sign? - We'll call the lawyer.
I still don't understand how are we going to do it.
You'll see. You have to trust. You're so stubborn.
"Dear Grandma:
"After all, life is meaningless.
"God has punished me.
"He saw me hiding the boot...
"He waited until I amassed a fortune.
"Then, out of nowhere, he clouded the sky over me.
"He sent a storm...
"to disperse my money and my gold in the wind.
"First he blessed me with a treasure,...
"and then he punished me by taking it back.
"I had enough money to build a mansion,...
but I was victim of Fate, which is inscrutable.
"It doesn't matter how hard I try to understand,...
"the storm keeps raging in my head,...
"washing away the truth.
"Dear Grandma,...
"maybe your words are haunting me.
"When I said I didn't trust anyone anymore,...
"and you said: 'if you don't believe in anyone, God will abandon you.
"You won't worth a thing neither to God nor to other people'.
"And I ended up...
"deceived by the man who I trusted with my soul.
"Ahmed was both a God and a father to me.
"I wrote to you that Daca was in a hospital, at Ljubljana.
"Now I know evil men can deceive your senses,...
"make you see thinks which aren't real.
"I discovered Ahmed sacrificed Danira to make a profit".
Dzamila!
Where is he?
- He's gone. - Where?
I don't know. He left me.
Dzamila, tell me.
He made peace with his brothers and they flied together.
You took Danira out of Ljubljana!
Where are they? Tell me, or I'll kill you!
Leave him! You're crazy!
R... Rome...
Rome!
I bring you good luck for just 100 liras.
Good luck on your work, on your love life.
Thanks.
Do you want me to read your palm? Or is it just charity?
Well done! You're very nice,...
I hope you have good luck, like this good Yugoslavian here.
He's had good luck, you're fortunate...
Have you seen this girl?
I haven't seen her. I don't know her.
Gypsy liar!
Fuck you, you filthy gypsy!
"You told me not to go back without Danira.
"I've looked for her everywhere.
"And I haven't been able to find her.
"I've been looking for Ahmed for 4 years now, and I'll look another 400...
"until I finally find him and rip his heart off.
"My dreams have turned into ashes,...
"a roofless church, a silent bell.
Your Perhan".
Danira!
Perhan!
Brother!
My God!
I've finally found you!
How's your leg? Does it still hurt?
It's the same.
Come on, eat.
Do you know what happened?
What?
Ahmed's brother lied about the hospital at Ljubljana.
He made me cross the border...
and he forced me to beg for him.
The brothers have reunited. He's getting married today.
- Ahmed? - Yes.
And you have a son.
He's four now.
He's just like you. You should see him.
Perhan!
What?
- What's your name? - Perhan. And you?
Perhan.
Liar! You're lying!
Hurry, before Ahmed see us.
Give him a hug. He's your dad.
Give me the money.
You're a very good dad.
Look.
They're for you.
So you can buy whatever you want.
And when are you going to buy me all this things?
When you want. What do you want?
If I tell you everything, you won't remember.
- I want a toy car. - A toy car.
- Some color pencils... - What?
Some color pencils.
A tricycle.
A toy truck.
And...
an accordion.
- What? - An accordion.
- That's all. - An accordion?
- That's all. - Are you sure?
Listen.
I'll be right back. Wait me here.
Don leave us, please.
I'll buy a present for Grandma and I will be right back.
It won't take long.
Buy him a sponge.
- Don't forget my accordion. - I won't.
If I don't make it, I'll catch you at the next station.
Take this.
- What's wrong? - I'm sad.
There's no reason.
Dad!
Perhan, wait!
I'm angry at you.
Why?
Because you won't come back, and you won't buy my an accordion either.
Word of gypsy.
Come on, get in.
Get in.
Irfan! Ifran!
Perhan, it’s you!
- I need help. - Sure.
What brand are these cigarettes?
This is good tobacco!
I need you to have my back.
Sure.
Ahmed, I wish you both good luck!
Ahmed, come out to dance! Come to dance!
Oh, look what we got here, the little prince!
Perhan!
But if it's Perhan, my son.
I'll be obedient for life. You're everything to me.
You're my father.
Take me back or kill me.
Why should I have to kill you?
Punish me, I've had bad thoughts.
Give him something to eat. He doesn't look good.
Who is he?
Nobody. He's just a silly boy.
Eat some cake! Eat!
Die, you piece of shit!
Hurry.
To the bridge. Quick.
I swear I'll kill him! You've ruined my wedding!
Go away. Go away!
You've destroyed my life. Now I'll destroy yours.
You'll get what you deserve...
I'll get you even if you become a bird.
Yes, fly off, you bastard!
Oh, God!
I know what you're thinking. Forgive me for not coming to lift you.
Maybe I should leave you like this. Just to see if you give me a hand.
I've always been good to you.
But you have been playing tricks on me.
If you don't help me, I won't help you.
I'm going to lift you now, you be good to me.
And look after Perhan. Let him be with you.
He has no father and no mother.
That's why he kissed your feet.
He didn't know how to love you. You left him alone amongst the wolves.
Put him in the best place possible.
I know I haven't been a good man, but I promise I'll try.
Christ, I kiss your face.
You see these two dices?
Make them fall the right way. I'm a Gypsy, you see.
Let them fall my way once...
and my wish will be fulfilled.
My name is not Merdzan if I don't fulfill yours.
Please, God, they're just a couple of dices.
