THAT NIGHT
This film was made with wholehearted help from mine.
Kreka and hydro-powers Ovcar Banja and Medjuvrsje.
Happy new 1958. Year to his readers. Pera.
New Year cards! Pero, is there a policeman here?
He just passed here. Miloje? Yes, him! I'm looking for him!
Another party with you, again? Yes, ma'am, how can I help you?
Hurry up, Miloje, they'll demolish everything,
we decorated so nicely for New year.
Miners and electricians again? Yes. Because of Nada? Yes.
How did they come here now? We were in peace
since they were back in cultural home,
so they stopped coming. - And on the game...
We should forbid that games and dances!
At least it would be peaceful. I'm coming! I'll go first, I'll wait for you.
That's Vera's Boy.
Look out, Miro!
Enough! I knew it right away that you're here!
Who else will fight than Dragisa? - Here's my ID and shut up. - I memorized it.
Look at this, the whole peace comitee.
It seems you like this very much, Dusan. To meeting with me all the time.
No fight can't go without Mica and Stanko.
I advise you to be smarter, Jovo. And you, Malisa, it seems you want to grow up.
I would never expect this from you, comrade Pavle. And you?
Who are you, newcomers? Not anymore.
I was just introduced to local peaceful citizens. - Give me your ID.
What are you doing here? He's starting as electrician tomorrow.
I was waiting that transfer for two days. And when I met them and wanted to go,
comrades miners came along and... You wanted to open boxing school here?
It's not his fault, miners were going by their strength. - I can see that on you.
And on them too. - You wouldn't show your teeth if I'd grabbed you!
Some men are you! Taking advantage of my kindness!
Don't make me arrest you all, so you'll celebrate New Year!
Write your stuff so we can go on shift. There's 50 km to the Brezje.
So long.
Goodbye friends, until we meet again. Who will pay for this?
We'll write it down, then it'll go to the judge.
We look very pretty for New Years. Is there something?
Not much. - Because of my wife, I'm going out with her tonight.
- I should reserve tables. - Why?
We're celebrating here. The whole hydroelectric will come. We should go.
Sima, join six tables in that corner for my friends from hydroelectric.
We're going to come tonight. - Is today today,
or today is tomorrow? - You go away now!
Come on, split up, faster! This isn't a circus.
What about you two? There's nothing special here! Come on, go home.
Back off!
Tell me, pal, why all this crowd are gathered here?
Get away from me. Don't you pay me for everything.
Excuse me, pal, I paid everything to Milovan himself!
Come on, prepare the car.
Our new guy stayed too long.
Maybe he needs help with his stuff. Check it, Malisa. - You're running away?
- From old year. - Why?
I wasn't good to anyone with my previous biography. I have to change it.
Well, do you want my help?
How?
Here, take me with you.
I know many that would continue that fight if they were on my place.
This was a farewell fight. Let's go.
What took you so long? The store will be closed. And Marija is waiting.
Marija is his wife.
What?
Where should I find that? Yes, please!
You want that just like that!
How much? Old price. Yes, ma'am.
I'm asking you how much. - 5 grand, like you don't know. - Of course I do.
Don't bug me then.
I have one chick here, she's showing off. She's waiting for me to get married.
I'm so happy that you'll be my repairer. Strictly yours?
Yes, didn't Pavle tell you?
He was my repairer before, but he became a smelter a week ago.
He like bicycles. - He's crazy about them. He
was a junior champ, but he's inactive now.
He's very busy and he got married.
He's pretty? - The prettiest in the whole hydroelectric, perfect one.
Everybody is in love with her. You too?
No, I wouldn't to that to Pavle.
Please, how does this flower costs?
For you, madam, just 100 grands. I have a flower like that already.
Give me a spool of white thread.
- Goodbye, madam. - Goodbye.
Give me that flower. Of course.
Here you go.
Big New Year Party, lottery, miss competition, and other sensations.
Orchestra of Little Cheda will play, dancing until the dawn!
Attention, from the restaurant and hotel
Splendid, from the yard, piglet has escaped.
Black one, with white freckle on his forehead. We ask, respected citizenry
who catch him to bring him back to Splendid, reward is a drink at his wish.
Would you like me to give you this flower? Look how pretty it is.
No, that's not a real flower, that's just pretended.
I could've bought you that flower too. Why you to buy me too?
Who bought it for me? I'm only saying.
I wanted you to be most beautiful tonight. Really, tonight?
You'll look ridiculous one the dance with that bruise.
Why are you mentioning that? I couldn't leave them to fight alone!
Then don't leave them alone tonight either!
If everyone will laugh to you, they don't have to laugh to me too!
We don't have to go to dance. Where then? Somewhere to be alone.
Tonight... Tonight I want... What do you want?
You know... I can't wait forever.
To wait for what. - I can't wait anymore, doll, understand me. Please.
What's with you? You fool! Remember what I told you for tonight!
Pal, is today today or tomorrow?
You fool! This one is drunk already.
Everybody is drunk. Hey, Boy, what did you run into?
Slow down! Miners have already went to their shift.
Take this.
Listen Stanko, I can manage to go home, visit my family and tell them
to go without me and I'll come after the shift. I can't go like this anyway.
- Good luck. - Good luck.
- Dragisa! - Oh, there she is.
I'm going. Where have you been? Here's your lunch.
What is that? You've been fighting again!
Don't be stingy, it's just one fight to say goodbye. For the end of the year.
I'm washing, ironing, to look like a man for tonight. Look at you!
Wait and see how the electricians look like!
Listen, onion is great for that. It's nothing, they remembered me.
And Pavle still didn't come. - There he is. When he gets on the bike, he loses time.
Attention, piglet has been found in the yard
of Pera the baker, alive. We apply on citizens
not to search for it anymore... Come on, Pavle, we have to close.
I was riding for 20 km and I don't feel anything. - Shall we go or what?
Mates, what is that place of yours like? What can I tell you,
my wife calls it a desert. And you? You think the same?
I wasn't thinking much during these 3 years, I was working.
Maybe you'll think about that more. Maybe I will.
We had an engineer who did that. He ran away after a month.
He didn't run because of that.
He was thinking too much about someone else wives. Like they are library books.
We'll have to think of some defect. They're waiting for us at the central since noon.
Aunt Marija. - Yes, sweet heart? Come and play with us. I can't, dear.
Why? - I have to get ready for tonight, Santa Claus is coming.
Why is your Santa coming in the evening?
I don't know, dear. We'll scold him.
That is all. And stockings? What stockings? Ah, yes!
Thank you.
Here's the director. I'll introduce you.
Go, what are you waiting for? And you? You should dress up for tonight.
I'm all dressed up. Can't you see?
There's no party tonight. I'm on duty
voluntarily. I'll replace Zarko for 50 grands.
Why did you do this tonight? What? What are you sobering about?
Didn't I take you to the game? What else do you want?
Alright, but we should find him a place. We'll check with Malisa.
They are left, you better take him for tonight, just to change clothes.
We'll all going to the party together, in the
morning when we get back, we'll find a place.
Alright, fine. Maybe it's better that way.
Where have you been? In the town.
You've been waiting. With great anticipation. I'm sorry.
Will you be sorry if I look pretty tonight?
Marija, this is my new friend, Mirko. Let me introduce you.
Do you know each other? We don't.
We were here late, so I invited him to spend a night with us.
What is that on your face? Wait...
I'll explain later. Mirko, this is my wife.
I didn't want to disturb you. We don't have any guests,
so I'm a little surprised. I couldn't call you, there were troubles.
Never mind, show the guest his room.
Listen, maybe it'll be better... Nothing! Get ready and we'll go together.
Isn't that right, honey? - You knew I wanted to be with you this night!
Cover those bruises on your face with some powder.
You're the best wife in the world, after all!
And you? Are you the best husband?
Pavle, do you hear? Did you bring me a decoration for my dress? - I forgot!
Damn bicycle!
Maybe this will help.
Wait, you must've... Take it, it's not important.
I'll get ready quickly.
Pavle!
I though you forgot! What are you saying?
You know I'm always thinking about you. Always?
I like to hear that. Then hear me.
I love you this night more than ever.
Not now, they'll leave without us.
Great crowd, for vomiting in the toilet!
Janko, why didn't you trim those mustaches?
It doesn't matter, I'm a streptomycin for women anyway.
And you were just incurious for that cashier from Splendid.
You'll see tonight, when brother start with... lyrics.
If you thing on her, forget it. Malisa's new master already connected the wires.
Who? The one that goes with Marija.
Madam has to arrive last. - Who's with her? He's that new electrician.
He's handsome, she won't be bored tonight.
Please sit, Marija. Where is Pavle?
Ah, there you are. Old man got sick so he can't replace you. - What's with him?
We agreed last night. - You know him, as soon as the weather changes...
You'll have to stay. It was your turn anyway. - My turn?
And when was I on duty no one asked who's
turn is it! I won't be on duty and that's it!
What should I tell my wife? Why aren't you going in, Pavle?
Wait, don't be mad. It seems we won't be able to go.
You're not saying... Unfortunately, old man suddenly got sick.
That can only happen to you? To me? You're wrong, Marija.
Find someone else, and I'm going no matter what! - Is something wrong, Pavle?
Old man got sick, and Pavle refuses to go on duty.
Director, if I hand't came back from town to get my wife, who'd be on duty?
I know Pavle, but you know well that one operator has to stay.
I'm sorry, Marija. You can come with us as our guest.
Thank you. At least tonight I wanted to spend the night with my husband.
Shall we go, masters?
I don't want to go to that dance. Me too, it'll be crowded.
What is it? Onion didn't help? It's not that, Malisa is grumpy.
So he's scared he'll make a scandal. So you're staying here too?
Me? - Yes. - Here?
Great joke, great one! It's not a joke Malisa.
I'm staying to substitute electrician on duty, I wanted his assistant, but
director didn't agree. I'm new and he doesn't have experience.
You wanted to work with me. I know, but why tonight?
It had to burst tonight! - It's destiny, move so we can try with mud.
Come on, Meho, drop that phone already!
That's sand, it'll close it. I don't like water. Neither do I.
It creates heart-burning. We should bring pumps here.
Come on, Veljko. Let's bring those pipes so we can finally go.
Should we ask help? This looks bad. Let them party, soon we'll go too.
You will party, and what about me?
Come on daddy, drop that. You're not the one that's giving birth. Come here.
Stream is getting stronger. Bring the boards here.
We should call someone. - Meho, come and help us, we're not waiting New Year here!
Did you see that? It's like everything is conspired against us.
I won't be anyone's fool anymore. Pavle, I'm sick of your endless promises!
That it will be time for everything when you realize your plans.
You must believe that I wanted... - If you wanted, you'd make sure differently!
You wouldn't find a disabled man to substitute you. - Why is that important?
Is it my fault that old man god sick. You always find time for your ambitions,
and what about me? - What else should I do? Do screw my responsibilities?
They should all screw! All of yours workers' councils, steering committees,
Trade Union conferences, party meetings...
They only exist so you shouldn't have any obligations towards me. - Marija!
You don't know what you're saying. - I know,
but you don't know what you're doing!
I'm sitting here alone for three years. It's
easy for you, you have bicycles and central.
You want to become an engineer, and you don't ask what will I become one day.
I want tonight everything to be in order, do you understand me?
Don't clean glasses with your fingers, it's New Year's eve. Come on now.
Nada is all dressed up. She's probably waiting that guy of hers.
Hang this over there.
Lily,
my heart is breaking without you.
Should I bring a repair kit if you need it?
Are you available? Thank you, I don't dance.
Excuse me, I came to change my clothes.
Marija, I have to know why did you tell your husband that we don't know each other.
You stayed here just to hear that?
Or maybe you were bored to go alone, without Pavle.
Do you think I'm still playing seducer? I don't know.
However, I don't believe that you didn't know where am I. - I had no idea.
And this? Who bought this?
Pavle of course.
Alright, it'll be fixed.
Gojko, voltage drop on transmission line 2.
Alright.
Didn't you leave yet? - How can I leave when he offered to stay? - Who is 'he'?
The new guy. Why should he stay?
I'd like to know that too.
Wait, are you sure he stayed? I saw him.
First he fights, then he buys flowers, and now he's on duty by choice. - What flower?
Why did he buy it? How should I know?
He threw away a thousand like a cigarette butt. - Where is he now?
What brought you here?
Unfortunately, I can't say it was a desire for you.
I want to start everything from the beginning.
Just like before.
You don't believe me.
You care about me believing you?
Why?
You have the things you wanted. Family, safety,
your comfortable warm nest.
And you? What do you miss?
Maybe exactly those things.
How come you abandoned your duty? I left Malisa there.
And you came because of me?
That's the true. I thought it would be nice if you are with me.
In workers outfit? No, in a new dress.
With flower that you bought me?
You could come with us, too. Of course, I accept.
What if I don't accept?
Suit yourself.
I have to be over there.
You two go ahead, I'll come later.
It's no use, it's coming from bellow. That's what I'm saying all night.
Well, happy New Year, comrades, and cheers. Cheers.
We should've asked for help. Don't touch that, damn it!
What are you doing, people? Do you want to drop everything on our heads?
What will happen if they remove a piece that's holding everything? We'll die.
- Meho, give me that phone. - Why?
Godmother! Good evening, godmother. Hello Stanko. May I sit? - Yes.
Do you know my sister? - No, but Dragisa sad that he has the best sister-in-law.
He should've been here by now. He'll come, if he doesn't get drunk.
Please don't... He won't, especially not tonight.
Alright, we can start now.
We didn't have anyone to drink to. Take this.
What did you make? Take a look.
Look, we have the whole arsenal for the party.
Look at this, they think they fooled us.
Isn't it nice here too?
Malisa, pour another drink. - No, you know I don't drink. - Tonight you must.
- I must. - Well, no...
It's New Year for us too. Should we toast?
Let there be Malisa.
For this night. One more thing.
For you in this night, for the two of us.
For that 'starting tomorrow'.
I wanted to be with you too. More and more often.
- Not like so far. - No.
What's with this crowd? Is this the way to celebrate New Year?
Malisa, you don't drink? You're grieving for your girl? - No.
She won't go anywhere without me tonight.
I know that. Then drink, just like in town today.
We disassembled this nicely. Who will reassemble it?
Come on, show off, you spent more time in school than in holes. - I didn't break it.
We should inform them out there. Go, run and inform them. I'm thirsty.
There's plenty of drink here.
My wife probably thinks that even tonight I got drunk somewhere.
And I promised that I'll drink only water in new year. - And you will!
We'll go nicely in that New Year of yours.
Thank you.
I'll get drunk in the end...
You're here too? I thought I'll dance alone tonight. - Who says that?
Now I'll show you what old dog can do!
You're not sad because you're not in the party in the bar? - It doesn't matter now.
Of course, but there, I wouldn't be able to tell you the things I wanted.
All this time has passed so fast, so I didn't have the chance.
But we'll change something. And you believe in that?
You know, I realize that I wasn't very considerate with you in the past.
You completely forgot how to dance. I didn't dance since we moved here.
For three years. There you go, you're right,
I was buried with work, I wanted to accomplish something.
And you never thought how do I feel. I believed in your love.
You're wrong. You're dancing outside the rhythm. You dance too slow.
My gal will be angry tonight.
She'll think that I'm with another. Really? You have another one?
If I wanted, I would've.
But I feel sorry for the girl.
She adores me.
You could've been with her.
There will be time. She can suffer a bit.
- And tomorrow... - And tomorrow?
Tomorrow I'm turning the page.
I had to stay here tonight because of you. Why because of me?
Pavle would be suspicious. What?
You know, Pavle doesn't think just about bicycles.
I see. You're playing detective.
No, but that flower of yours could've... Listen, Malisa,
not even a wagon of onion won't help you if I...
Hello? Who? Gojko?
He's busy, can you call later? Is that Gojko? Let me talk to him.
Hello, Gojko? What happened?
I'll be right here. No, no, our new electrician is here, and Malisa.
I'm coming. I'll be right back, there's something wrong at Gojko, he's calling me.
I'm not tired yet. Will someone substitute Pavle?
I won't, maybe master will.
Not like that, please. Not with your finger. I'll bring you a toothpick.
Tell me beautiful, of all New Year's wishes,
which one would you like to come true first?
On this night.
To leave me alone just for a little.
On this night.
Even the cashier? - I doubt it, I heard that the new electrician is chosen.
He'll forget all cashiers... You're teasing Pavle.
You feel sorry for him? Not him, you.
So, you bought the flower for me after all.
You love him? I don't like when he forgets about me.
Those are just little things. Which mean a lot to a woman.
This one knows how to do things. Shut up!
Listen, Marija, you'll make up and it'll be my fault.
Why do you need all that when you're in love?
Listen, Pavle...
On transmission line 110, it seems it's ground fault.
You're on duty, you'll have to come.
It's uncomfortable for me to go with him. I'm scared. - Why?
He's mad at me. Hurry up, Malisa.
Prepare the tools, and inform the driver to prepare the car. Do you have a radar?
We do. - Bring that as wall. Hurry up, we should still change our clothes!
It probably won't last long. No, I think we'll fix it quickly.
Alright, if you don't work tonight. Thank you, you too.
I can't find main dispatcher.
Alright, I'll turn off the power at midnight,
I'll turn it on when you come back.
Which line? - Towards city, the way we came here. - People will be without light.
We'll finish until 2 AM. - Alright, I'll turn it on at 2. Check the clock.
What could happen? - Nothing, you're on our transmission line for the first time.
Does he have to go. - Unfortunately, we'll have to continue party by ourselves.
Goodbye.
And happy New Year. - Maybe it would be happier for you if you'd left in town.
Or not to come here in the first place.
Stop drinking.
And take off that flower.
Take it off!
So he bought it.
It pleases you? - I'd be pleased if you did
that. Why didn't you tell me it wasn't yours?
It doesn't matter, he told you and Malisa, he wanted me to look like a fool.
And you helped him with that. - What did I do? - Is that the way to dance?
I was embarrassed, from Malisa.
You weren't embarrassed to leave me in the middle of the dance?
Of course, you didn't even notice, because you're leaving me all the time.
What do you want from me?
To understand me, at least a little.
And if he stayed, you wouldn't go!
You're madly jealous. - Of course, it's not your fault. I pushed you in his arms!
No, he pushed me in your arms!
I knew him before you, and loved him.
But I left him, so he wouldn't leave me.
I married you, and never, do you hear, never I forgot that I am your wife.
That is all.
We sad many bad words to each other tonight, Pavle. You should know the truth.
Why didn't you tell me that right away?
Marija!
Can I take this candle? - Take it. This doesn't seem like power cut.
Bring more lamps. - This is taking too long.
Call Pavle and ask him what's happening.
Show the experts what is wireless electrification.
Champion, take a break from jokes. Why? Are you going to beat me?
And what if I want to? You'll get beaten, you fool!
Happy New Year! Comrades, cheers!
Turn off that life.
Gather all the rescuers and go to pit 2 to help, not a word to anyone!
Dragisa and Alija's people. - Trapped? Yes, but alive, I'm coming right away.
What did I tell you? They got cold in the pit so they went to'Spring' to get warm.
Spring will warm him if I come there! Don't be so strict, it's New Year.
It's New Year as soon as he enters the bar. I'm going to look for them.
We're all alive. Water is rising.
Why the pumps stopped working?
Hello? Why is it gone, damn it?
I lost connection again. Well, of course!
When the guy want's to go out trough the phone. - It's not because of me.
My wife is giving birth. We'll all giving birth now.
It's no use. Why aren't the pumps working?
There's no power. I knew it, electricians got drunk.
They're celebrating New Year.
We would too, if this wasn't meant to be. Why's the power off?
I don't know, engineer went to check.
It's bad out there. Hello, what is with the power, comrade?
Whom did you inform? Whom?
One moment, comrade? They informed you that they'll cut it off? - Yes.
And you informed the man on duty? - No, night
shift isn't working today, so I thought...
If you were thinking this wouldn't happen. Comrade, it's misunderstanding.
Water broke in one of the minds, and pumps can't work without power. - I know, I know.
But two of my men are on the transmission line. If I turn it on they'll die.
Five miners will drown, they're trapped and the water is rising. - That's bad.
Wait, if I turn it on and fail to inform them, I'll be guilty for those two.
Hurry up, I don't want to hang here until
dawn! - We could've done this in the morning,
voltage would withstand. Really?
If anything worse happened, you'd be the first one to accuse me. - Why me?
You were teasing me all night.
Pavle thought you're teasing him. - I should
mess your that other eye too! Watch out!
I can't take it anymore.
My fingers are numb. Get down, you're good for nothing.
If you broke your neck it'll be my fault. Yes.
Pavle would think that you did that on purpose.
He thinks that of me? - No, I thought that,
and I said... - Get rest, and warm up hands.
And miners? I can't let people to drown.
It's not your fault for that. - I'd like to inform our men that I'll turn the power on.
Yes, and that's why I need your help. How can you turn it on?
People must be safe while they work. Who will go to the wires next time?
For the love of God, man...
Yes, that's the most simple thing to do.
Let's try a little bit more, guys.
Transmission scheme.
Listen!
- It's a drill! - They'll mine it.
They'll collapse the ceiling on our heads. We should let them know. - You be quiet!
They setting up the mine.
How long is that fuse, damn it?
They're careful, they'll overwhelm us with third mine. - We can't try that anymore.
We'll go to hell, them and us too. We talk to much, and they'll drown.
Easy, we have to keep cool. - It's easy for
you, you don't know what is to be buried alive!
Hello? Hello, old man? I think I found a way do to something. Listen to me.
No, Pavle, I can't come.
That's insane. What will happen if you fail?
We trust you, comrades. We'll hold on until the last moment.
We'll save the pit after all.
It's a good thing you didn't tell them that we'll die with a smile on our faces.
What's with the pumps?
They want to drown us because we gave them a beating this morning?
Put them on trial if something happens!
How can they be fixing it right now, to hell with their wires?
No, no, there's no need.
Alright, we'll inform them. - Why didn't you let me ask? What's with the power?
Save your breath, you'll need it.
Two electricians are on the transmission line, they went to fix some malfunction.
They didn't know about us. If he turns it on now, they'll be darker than this.
Why the hell are they on the transmission line now? - And why the hell are we here?
And now what? - Nothing, we'll wait. They'll turn the power on at 2 AM.
Why at 2 AM? We won't be needing it then.
Can't you see how high the water is? It'll be over our heads in an hour!
You call and ask for power! I won't kill people because my belly is in water. Call!
Give me, I'll call them! Hello? Hello, Veljko speaking. I wanted to...
I wanted to know...
Can you find out what is happening with my wife?
Yes! I'm asking what is with my wife.
I wasn't without a reason... Rude, right?
No. I thought you want Marija, just like that, understand?
Yes, like you wanted your girl tonight. I didn't mean like that.
Come on, hurry up! Pavle will turn it on at 2!
Listen! Gojko! Wait a minute, man!
Their lives are in danger! - And Malisa's and new guy's life are depending on it.
Help me and we'll save them all. - Maybe, maybe not. Do you know when will water
come under miners throats? I don't. Then don't ask me to do it!
I don't want to be responsible for those two, and maybe you. - I'll be responsible,
to anyone!
Come on! Come on! What is it?
What do you want? Listen, I need you! Come right away.
Accident can happen and I can't prevent it by myself.
If only we brought soap... You're joking in this moment!
It's New Year, we should be clean. I'm suffocating.
Hero is the first to speak. Quiet, save your breath.
I can't take it anymore. Calm down, Dusan.
If this was meant for us then...
You see how Alija is calm. He knows his wife will get his insurance and pension,
so he's thinking should he drown himself right now, or to risk to be saved.
Am I right, Alija? I never drank water,
but If my dog's destiny is like that, I'll drink this one.
Enough with your destiny! Damn the day when I was assigned to miner like that! - Quiet!
Shut up! Meho, tell this rookie
is there any better miner here than me? Let it go.
You should kiss his hand and call him dad!
Hello? Yes, it's good.
Yes, everything's fine. Of course, they even make jokes.
We can still hold on. What is with those jerks on the transmission line?
I'm telling you we're fine! If only we can have
some more air, we'd sing and telling slogans.
What took you so long? What happened? Why did you call me?
I didn't have anyone else. Listen to me carefully, much depends on you now.
I have to go now, and mine Brezje will call,
I don't know exactly when, because of power.
If they say that we can't wait anymore, you turn it on, like this.
But listen, all the way! Understand? Why don't you do it yourself?
I'm telling you, I have to go to the
transmission line! - Mirko and Malisa are there.
It's not just about them. Five miners are
drowning in Brezje, I have to try to save them!
You're wrong! If you thinking about revenge, you have no reason!
To revenge? Yes, I'm afraid of that.
You think I want Mirko? Because of you?
I was always afraid of your jealousy.
That's why I said we don't know each other when he came suddenly today.
I was afraid, that you'll understand it in the wrong way,
Never mind about that! I don't have the time. - Pavle, please don't go!
I was sitting there and thinking. We were both crazy! It'll be different.
We'll go somewhere together with bikes in the spring. And this dress...
If you like it without flower... Those are small things.
I know, you're jealous because you love me, but you have to trust me!
That's not the most important. Five lives are
in danger. No one will help me, you must!
I won't do that.
You made up that story about miners in vain.
Then I have to do it. Right now.
How can you even imagine I can make all that up just because of you two!
What about Malisa?
What do you think of me? Hello?
We'll be responsible, do you understand? I'll be responsible for your two men.
Please!
I know you arranged it with engineer. He's waiting for them to call, and they...
Who knows will they even ask, I know them.
They'll hesitate, and it'll be too late, and then it'll be my fault.
I'm not exaggerating, comrade. How would you feel in my position?
I suppose you believe me now. Now come so I can explain you everything.
Mirko and Malisa are working on this
transmission line, if I cut it on this post,
they will be out of danger, and the power will go to the mine.
If they say we can't wait anymore, turn it on, but don't touch the handle before
engineer calls himself.
Pavle! Pavle!
We should go back to the central. Pavle will manage.
What will happen to you if I turn it on when you're on the post?
You just keep me busy and we'll all get it! We'll talk, don't worry! About everything!
It's rising, water keep rising. Great discovery!
I don't want to wait anymore! I don't care about anyone! - Then go outside.
You just laugh you fool, but you'll drown because the man who beat you this morning!
That was different. We'll drown, we'll all drown!
Calm down, Dusan. There were more difficult
situations. - I don't care about anything else!
Who forced us to mess with this? The whole pit would be flooded.
So you should expect fate like Alija? No!
I'll dig all this with my nails! Nails!
Leave that, you'll get killed!
Do you want to kill us all? What's wrong with you? Let me go!
Let him go! Let him do whatever he wants!
Let me go! - Enough, I can't take it anymore! - Calm down, Veljko.
I can't. I'm scared. I don't want to play hero anymore, I'm scared!
I want to live for my wife and child! What is it?
Why are you looking at me? They're scared too, they're just pretending. Cowards!
Cowards! - Enough, Dusan, shut up already! I won't shut up, understand? I won't!
Enough! - What can you do it? You dig too! Let's save ourselves!
Don't be scared Veljko.
Tell them how are we, ask for power. And those two on the wire?
Go on, tell them.
Yes, I think we can manage for a little while. What?
Comrades? They're doing alright. No, there's no panic.
Great dame! She's not a dame...
Where's Dragisa? - You know, he's drunk
somewhere. - Meho doesn't drink and he's gone.
Nor Alija nor Veljko. He would be in the hospital.
Do you think something happened? If not, where are they?
Why are these women running? Let's see. Meho and Dragisa are gone.
Stop, stop. Take it easy, don't create panic.
Wait people, nothing happened. - If nothing happened, miners would be here!
Let's go, maybe they need our help! Should we go too?
Someone created panic. Close it.
Let me go, I want to see what is with my husband!
Hold him. Hold him!
Yes, it's Dragisa. This may be our last call.
Check again if their people came back from the transmission line. Good luck!
Engineer Pavkovic speaking. Water has filled
the pit, we can't wait anymore. Hello? Hello?
Pavle! Stop!
Hello? Who?
Where's Pavle? The mine wants to talk to him. One moment, please.
Pavle!
Find him and tell him to drop that now. He's wanted urgently.
Hello, comrade? We'll find him right away.
If it can't wait tell me what is it about.
I understood. I'll turn it on.
What is it now?
What is it, Marija?
That is your plan! You managed to made up that!
And your new life. - I don't understand. I don't understand either!
And I suspected him that he wants to do that because of his jealousy.
I was defending you. From whom? And why?
Then I realized about responsibility, that thing he was always telling me about.
It's too late now. You two are crazy!
He's mad without a reason, you're accusing me. What have you done?
What have I done, damn it? And what is going on here? Speak already!
Why did you turn it on if you didn't know? I though Pavle is with you, I didn't want
him to be responsible for miners. And that's why you killed him!
Where is Pavle? Speak!
On the post. You killed him!
He went to cut us off.
But how...
You know! We both thought...
The mine was asking for power!
Where is that post?
Everything is fine now. It'll soon come to them. You best go and wait them at home.
Prepare hot brandy. - What about those on the transmission line?
We don't know yet, telephone operator is trying to contact them.
This way, master, it's faster!
Either there's water in my ears, or I hear pump running.
Pumps!
Wait kid, it's still too deep for you!
Are those two back already?
Of course they did, they wouldn't turn it on if they didn't.
Why aren't you responding? What's with your men?
Power is on! Let us know what is with your men.
We were very scared for you. And miners? What happened to them?
They'll probably curse when they meet you.
We are such...
All this trouble had to happen in one night, so I can realize,
Happy New Year. Send my regards to Marija. Why?
Where is Marija? Where are you going?
I'll find more peaceful place, it's not so quiet here as you said when we were coming.
And don't get me wrong, but I envy you.
Hello, mate! Happy New Year, Pavle. Thank you.
What happened? - We had some minor malfunction, but everything's fine now.
Take it, maybe your girlfriend will like it.
I'm sure she'll love it.
If you could only see how crazy night it was!
Who stayed in the hall?
Happy New Year.
And don't mess with miners, they're not much weaker than us.
And your things, master? Send it to 'Splendid' by someone!
I'll bring them, master!
THE END
