People governing people is slavery.
Whoever wants to govern me is a liar and a tyrant.
I make him my enemy.
Go on.
Being governed is being watched, inspected...
spied, led, legislated, controlled...
dumped, indoctrinated, preached, checked...
estimated, appreciated, censured...
commanded by people without knowledge, virtue or property...
Being governed is being, for each operation,
each transaction, each movement...
logged, saved, taken...
sold, stamped, quoted, looked...
subscribed, dismissed, authorized, refused
shown, told, prevented, reformed...
straightened, corrected...
Claiming public interest and general utility...
We are used, exerted, ransomed...
exploited, monopolized, broken...
squeezed, fooled, stolen...
And if we resist or complain, we are...
suppressed, amended, insulted...
hurt, hunted, quarreled...
stunned, disarmed, kept, imprisoned...
shot, burnt, judged, condemned...
deported, sacrificed, given, betrayed.
And also abused, bounded, rejected, dishonored...
This is the government, its justice and its morale.
Human Being, how could you stagnate in this abjectness for 60 centuries?
Come in, come closer.
Drop your guns on the floor.
Drop it!
Against the wall.
Pick it up.
Turn around.
Turn around!
Hands up.
Shoot.
Good.
Very good. Congratulations.
Your turn now.
Shoot!
Approach.
Let's go!
Go downstairs.
Any children here?
There are children here.
You, what are you doing?
We are going to bath. Go away.
I won't leave. You can go bathing.
Undress her.
Undress each other.
Hands up.
Hands on the head.
- You want to sleep with us? - No. You, go bathing.
- You, come with me. - Can I get dressed?
Yes.
Who are these children?
Croatians?
People governing people is slavery.
Whoever wants to govern me...
is a liar and a tyrant.
I make him my enemy.
Shall I take her?
The organization has something important to ask you.
Come on children!
Hurry up.
Give me your cape.
Call Marko.
Marko Lazar!
- Call him again. - Marko!
Lie down here.
I salute you.
Only you can help us.
The Yugoslavian government and Alexander II came to an agreement.
Either we hand you over or the organization will be expelled.
It's you or the Movement.
- Alive? - Dead or alive.
I won't spear you my death.
I will not commit suicide.
You will tell Ente who my murderer is.
As a member of our organization...
I swear...
before our Powerful God...
and before everything that is sacred...
that I will respect all the Movement's rules.
I swear...
before Marko Lazar, our brother...
that I will fight for my holy homeland independence.
I will do my best to kill Alexander and his accomplices.
For this cause, if it is needed...
I will shed my blood and give my life.
I swear.
I swear!
Hail to our homeland!
