After the murder of their fellow cabdriver, Belgrade cabbies have driven their cars
through the streets with blackstraps around their antennas,
to draw attention to the increasingly frequent attacks
by thugs and criminals on the taxi drivers.
HALO TAXI
Starring
They lurk around the corner, some black darkness
One can't find such man twice
Stay strong for me always, my good boy
Dark nights are dangerous trap, people are so evil
Some blackguard is lurking 'round the corner
Be careful, look back
Watch out for yourself, my dear
Sugar, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you
Sugar, for all the men's matches
Sugar, you're insanely proud
Sugar, the world is malicious
Sugar, you're not immortal
Drive on, watch out for yourself
Dark nights are dangerous trap, people are so evil
Some blackguard is lurking 'round the corner
Be careful, look back
Watch out for yourself, my dear
What's up? It's coughing again?
You know what? I feel like spill this with gasoline and throw a match.
Have you checked the Bosch pump? - I have. Everything.
Aga, I heard it's bad recently. - It is.
As they say in my village, ''Old wolf is joke for the dogs.''
Hi, champ!
How's going? - I fudge something.
I hesitated to tell you.
I don't like the company your Rajka is hanging around with.
I hope you wouldn't misunderstand me. Fuck, I regret it already.
What is this?
Housewife, what are you looking for around here?
Nothing. From today on, this is my taxi station.
As for you, it won't hurt you to behave more decent.
Lady, haven't you screwed yourself? - I'm not. What about you?
Lady says it's her taxi station now.
Give me your documents.
Those guys from municipality went mad.
They send us here this...
It's coming to an end. I have to change my profession.
I left without money.
I gave you yesterday.
Don't be such stingy.
You wouldn't let your wife to disgrace, don't you?
I don't have money for a coffee.
Who's the guy with Ljilja? - It's her fiancée.
He loves her madly.
You're bighearted. I don't want to spoil my lipstick.
Bye.
Your stocking has been torn.
How much you give me, it's wonder I don't walk naked through Belgrade.
Colleague, what's wrong?
I had my first ride.
Fake call, eh?
They sent me to junkyard.
They sent me once there, too.
Now, you saved me!
Taxi station ''Slavujev venac''.
Sounds like the same voice. - Don't hang up.
Strahinjića Bana Street. No.5.
Sugar, I bless your hand!
Are you nuts? Why one can't make a little joke?
Now, apologize to our female colleague.
Sorry, colleague, it was your baptising.
Let's have a drink on me.
Okay, but let it be strong, or I'll start swearing.
Cheers!
How come you found yourself at this taxi station?
I've been working with my husband in Germany for five years.
I couldn't take it there, I divorced and got back.
I thought it started nice, until they meet me.
They're not so bad. Wait 'til you get to know each other.
It's first reaction only.
They saw you primped, with new car,
so they probably thought you don't need to work at all.
Of course I need. Now, maybe I need the most.
You fight for yourself, then. This is first round only.
You have a customer. - First drive, at last.
I hope it's real one, too. - Good luck, colleague!
Thanks, colleague.
Go!
Is this that kid of yours? - Wanna try?
I'm not in the mood today.
Say, Jicko tells me you don't go practicing at all.
I have some problems.
In school? - What school? It's love!
I'm not going out tonight. Be good.
Rajka?
What? - Doesn't matter.
He stole my car again. That's outrageous!
I simply don't know what to do with this kid.
He stole 300 DEM the other day.
I'll send him to his father in Germany, let him do whatever he wants with him.
Listen what happened to a friend of mine.
When his wife went to stomatologist, he noticed that stocking on her left leg has been torn.
When she arrived, the stocking was on her right leg.
So?
He did her!?
What's the time? - Half past two.
You're waking as you're vampyre.
It's closing time. The best customers are now.
Say, where is Bismarck? - He's screwing some broad. He threw me out, too.
Do I know her? - You don't. New flying fish!
Someone's in the room.
Everything is locked up, no one can come in.
Someone's at the door.
Who are you?
I have no business with you. Move!
Let us talk like men do.
You broke into my house!
You'll pay me for this.
You'll pay bloodily for this!
Any time you want. You'll find me at ''Figaro''.
Sorry, colleague... Is it free? - Be my guest. - Thanks.
When you came to our taxi station for the first time,
i haven't behaved so nice. Sorry.
It's alright, colleague. I forgot it already.
It wasn't nice of me. That's all.
Stay, please. Stay at this table.
I hardly found you. What are you doing in this godforsaken place?
I haven't been in gordforsaken place in Germany, have I?
My ex-husband, my colleague.
Captain. - Have a seat.
Listen, Ana... I came to take you back to Germany.
You didn't have to come.
Let us talk in private.
Stay, please.
Germany does not even cross my mind.
I do something that I want for the first time in my life,
and I never felt better.
Leave us alone.
Stay, please! - Get lost, I'm telling you!
Watch your language.
Ana, I'm warning you. I have my way to make your life miserable.
You're threating again, but it doesn't help any more.
I'm not scared of you.
Come on, get out of here! Now.
Thugs are not welcomed here.
Disappear in a few seconds. Scram!
Don't get on my nerves!
Wait!
You were threating her a minute ago.
If she makes any complaint, all of us we'll come to Germany to kick your ass.
Nice friends you've found. - I like them very much.
Sorry. - Please. - And thank you.
If something's wrong, we are over there. - Thanks.
Can all have a drink on me? - Okay, but only if you sit with us.
Okay. - Guys, c'mon!
Please.
You'll get your money on Thursday. - Okay, but why Thursday?
It's drawing then, I've bought a lottery ticket.
When I get my bonus, I'll give it back to you first.
(Something in Gypsy) - Me too. Say, what does that mean?
It means, ''Belgrade, what have you come to.''
One great Turk said that.
I drove some funny old man. He sang folkers all the way to Pančevo.
I sang too, at the end. - What have you sang?
Oh, my girl from Smederevo...
One Pepsi for me.
Have you seen, Sugar, what have the judges done to us?
One can only use his bat, or not going boxing at all.
Come on out. - No.
Why didn't you tell me where are we going to?
Come on out.
So, this is the company. - In their full lineup.
Is this your wife? - Don't ask such tough questions.
I don't understand. - There's nothing to be understood.
She met better-looking, younger... With more money than me.
Especially the last one.
Where did he get it? - His Dad left him.
He's not dumb either. He's running a caffee.
I heard you smacked him.
Be careful, they won't forget it.
The messenger is coming.
Bismarck is calling you, he wants to talk with you.
If he wants to chat, let him come over here.
Don't play rascal. The next time I come, I'll grab you by the ears and take you.
Why do you let him to bother you? Call the police.
I haven't did such thing in whole my life. - It becomes hot here for me.
If they challenge you, and you eed a witness, call me.
You don't like them. They got somehow in your hunting area.
They probably run afoul of you very much. - What about you?
Watch out, this one hits with his head.
Will you come? - Out of the question.
I don't understand what's the catch. A man just wants to talk with you...
You hit him good!
Taxi Station ''Slavujev venac'' here.
Please, take me to the railway station.
What's your address?
Humska Street 2a. Mišković.
Please, ring on my intercom. I don't want to stand in the cold, I have a little baby.
I'm coming in a minute.
That's enough, Đakon, you'll kill him!
Why are you so blue, as your whole family died?
Come on, what is it? - How come they beat you up so badly?
They got me sleeping.
Guess how they are going to look like when I get out of here.
You tell everyone that you haven't seen who beat you up.
I have recognized one guy. I saw face of the other one
and when they called him 'Đakon'.
I'll found them, even if they hide under ground.
If you were only older, we'd play ping-pong with them.
I heard you have fucked up. - They surprised me.
Do you know Đakon? - Why would I know him?
He's good in boxing. He's using left.
I see that. I think that Đole had some guy
with priestish nickname. I'll ask him.
How come you know I'm looking for Đakon? - Jicko asked Đole, and Đole asked me.
So?
I know he's been in Sweden for a long time.
Maybe this is not the same Đakon. - It is.
The other night when they beat you up,
he's been seen in Bismarck's caffee, in the company of Jung and Cire.
It's those two friends of Bismarck.
So, he's here in Belgrade.
Rajka could possibly tell you where he is.
She hangs with them all the time. - Where I should find her?
I saw her by accident, when she stepped into the house.
Bye.
What's with your face?
I started boxing again.
Why are you dressed like that? - I enrolled on a modern ballet course.
Wanna drink something? - If you give me.
Sit.
Cheers.
Where can I find Đakon?
Đakon, who? I never heard about him.
Hallo?
Yes.
Okay, I'll come.
I go, then.
Do you need something? - No, thanks.
Rajka used to call this meal ''Hemendex a la Sugar.''
When I was a boxer, she made ten eggs for me after training.
Say, uncle... Why have you kicked Rajka out?
Give me the sheet.
Is it because of drugs?
Who told you this?
I thought you know.
It didn't even crossed my mind. How come you know?
Once she got crisis, I came over by accident. Her dealer didn't come on time.
Who's this dealer? - It's a pusher, a guy who sells drugs.
Where is Bismarck?
He went to honeymoon.
Love from school days.
Did he left something for me?
It's on the table.
Honey, you're not Bismarck's piece any more,
and my Ljilja left me for Jung.
So, it's your destiny to fuck with me.
Let me go, you idiot!
Let me go!
If you don't behave properly,
this whacker is going to disfigure you, and I...
I'll lose my will to...
To bang you.
You pigs!
Be still!
I'll broke your neck. Start it up.
Open the door.
No, please!
I give you my word that I don't know where is Đakon!
You said you don't know him at all!?
You'll stick my eye out! Over my mothers' dead bodies, I don't know where Đakon is!
I didn't know you're an orphan!
Hold it, please!
I'll tell you!
Đakon is Jung's friend.
He knows where he is.
When he hit me, it was like knives piercing my body.
What else did he say? - Nothing, just...
He just pounded me, asking me about Đakon.
Like he broke every single bone of mine.
What did you admit to him? - Nothing.
Nothing... If I only did, he wouldn't destroy me like this.
You weren't looked any better before, I swear.
You shut up.
Who's there? - A postman. Telegraph.
Tell me where is Đakon!
This time you were lucky!
Holy God, he finds us everywhere.
It's good you're all here.
I came to tell you that I'm about to kick your asses until I find Đakon.
And you, remember where were we. We shall continue tomorrow or the day after.
This fool won't leave us alone.
You kicked his ass, too?
Whom? - Cire.
You know everything. - Not exactly, but I'm trying to do so.
Did you know that Rajka is taking drugs?
All their girls are taking drugs.
Please, can I serve you? - A coffee and a mineral water.
So, you are policeman? - They say I'm not bad.
So, you plunged me in this game? - That's not true.
My only possible sin was that I didn't stopped you. I doubt I could it, anyway.
I admit that I considered you for being a joker for this game, but... I was wrong.
Roćko... - Yes? - You know I'm not much of a police fan.
I don't give a shit what's the game and if I am your joker or not.
This is my battle and you don't mess in my business until I find Đakon.
I didn't tell you:
All their girls are taking drugs and all of them disappearing.
Disappearing, how? - They simply vanish.
I am afraid you have underrated them. But if they start with low blows,
this is my phone number.
''Export Protein'' will answer.
Hello. - Hello.
That friend of yours left tickets for Saturday's boxing match.
He gave me one too.
Will you take me there? - With great pleasure.
And then, dinner on me. To repay you. - Why?
If it wasn't for you the other day, I'd leave this job.
A friend of yours left it for you this morning.
We have the tickets for 3 or 4 days.
He comes tomorrow.
It was lousy day yesterday. - Who, a guy from the TV?
If someone asks for me, I'm coming only this evening.
Sugar, where have you been? Rajka called several times.
Yesterday and today. Looks like something has happened.
Đakon comes tomorrow. - Where?
No idea. He has a meeting with Jumbo.
Something weird is happening. I'm afraid.
Can I help you?
You can't help me.
Pour it by yourself.
You have a crisis?
You knew.
Please, go.
Do you need money?
Sugar, please go now. Go.
Hello?
It's me. Listen...
I was afraid that I wouldn't find you. I have some money.
I swear, the money is here. I swear... Please.
Who beat you like that? - That cabbie.
He's looking for you.
Bismarck said that you get back immediately.
I need to hand over the birds. - Fuck the birds!
He also said that you don't look for us, and don't call us either.
Here is the money. Give me the cages.
Exactly 150. - Lousy day, eh?
People have no money.
Hi, pal. - Good day.
Was this guy Đakon? - No, they call him Birdman.
Where does he live? - There, in the Green Valley.
Oh, I have mistaken. Okay, bye!
Bye.
Good day, pal. - Hello!
Do you know Birdman? - He's a great man.
He can sell you whatever you like.
Parakeets, canaries, finches, lovebirds...
And whatever flying objects you wish.
Where does he live?
Straight forward, first street on the left, and last house on the right. You can't miss.
Boss, give me a beer, quick. But cold as a snake.
Have you met that guy?
Someone was looking for me?
When?
Some guy in a limo. He asked for you.
What does he look like?
Ordinary guy.
He has a head, arms, legs.
How long you'll make a joke, Milorad? I'm asking you what does he look like.
How?
His head is between his ears, and his legs are touching the ground.
Wait! What's the rush?
How many parrots you'll give me for this rooster of mine?
Let's swap 1kg for 1kg... Eh?
Leško!
Rajka called you twice. She begs you to come at once.
A kitten came to the small door, eh?
I'm here. - I'm over in a minute.
In a minute.
Cire told me he'll come after 5 pm.
When have you come?
The train has been late for a whole hour.
When you came, have you found someone here? - No, I didn't.
Something's wrong?
Want some? - Okay, but only one cup.
What's your name?
Žana. - What's your real name?
Jovanka.
No, one is enough. if I drink too much, I can't control myself.
Okay, one more will be fine.
What's your zodiac sign? - Aries.
Great, we match. I am a Scorpio.
Would you like me to do palm looking for you? - All right.
The other one.
It already caught me. This way is better.
You are very happy man.
Hold me around the waist.
It' s much better now.
Today, something very nice will happen to you.
Have you found out where they've been take us to? - Cire said, to Middle East.
Where's that? - You ask too much.
Gentleman is your manager.
He'll organize your performance. - How can we travel since we're broke?
The moment you pass the border, refer to him. Already in free shop, you can buy whatever you like.
Let me give you tickets and passports.
Take a walk.
Blue birds have flown.
Everything goes well.
Fresh bird has come.
Šanjika sent new flying chick from Subotica.
Hallo?
Wait...
What cabbie, what are you mumbling? - He was waiting for me here at home.
I don't know how long I was unconscious. Very shortly, I think.
I supposed he didn't reach Belgrade yet.
And what else have Cire said about me? - Should I tell? - Tell me.
He told me to rush on you.
He told me, ''If you please Bismarck, you have solved all your problems.''
Want some pot?
What's that?
Joint. It stimulates sexual desire.
But, seems like you don't need it.
Leško... Have Sugar coming? - Rajka called him, he went to her place.
Where? - To her place.
Bye. - Bye.
Look how she got high!
Bismarck was here. He liked me.
We chase him through the city, while he screws our chick here.
This is Bismarck.
What's your zodiac sign?
Nice goal of Živković, and Stojanović could only looked the ball drops into the net.
So, the score is 1:1. Excitement at the beginning of the match.
In 7th minute, both keepers had to take the ball out of their net.
Can I sit?
Sit over there.
Now, we're even. You kicked my ass and you kicked Đakon's.
You're even with Bismarck, too. You've screwed his chick.
I feel really sorry because of what happened. Really.
You lie. You're afraid, you are not feeling sorry.
And what do I need to be afraid of?
We'll pay you big money to keep it secret. A lot.
Where are you go to? - I go to watch football match.
So, everything's settled now?
Nothing is settled.
This attempted bribery is another criminal act.
He's making fun out of us.
Defense of Partizan players... Ješić... Vukotić...
The most agile player of the team in black-and-white...
Milovanović...
He tries to score, but the keeper is on his place.
You got the number of ''Export Protein''. At this moment, there is no one at the phone.
You have two minutes for your comment, following the sound effect you're about to hear:
Oh, fuck it.
Why they rushed out so fast? - They have a real reason.
If I'm having a drive when Roćko comes, give this to him.
Stop, Sugar! I must clean it properly.
Another time. I'm tired.
Aga!
How can you drive with dirty shoes?
I'll give you a shoe cleaning for free.
I want to take rest during live match. - I'll clean it while you're resting.
Listen, give this to Roćko when he comes.
If those scumbags show up again, I'll kill them all.
I can't. I'm afraid of firing.
I'll took the bullets out of the clip.
It's over! They stole Sugar.
How? - Two guys went into his car, and they went towards boulevard.
The shoes have left, take them!
Search him!
I took his gun, but where is all the money?
Hallo... Hallo, center.
Ana Đordević from the cab station ''Slavujev venac'' speaking.
Official number 369. Do you hear me, hallo?
Yes, colleague?
Cab driver Sugar was kidnapped from the ''Slavujev venac'' station.
They drive in Sugar's cab. Dark green Mercedes-Benz...
Plate numbers: 580-094.
Colleague, don't hang up and keep informing us where you are.
We are driving on the old Obrenovac road towards Šabac.
Attention! Terminate all the messages. Important announcement:
Cabdriver Sugar was kidnapped from the ''Slavujev venac'' taxi station.
Kidnappers are in the Sugar's taxi - Mercedes.
Our colleague Ana is following them.
Sorry about the disruption, dear spectators. It's on the director's request,
who seeks for live broadcast of a roving reporter who claims that weird things
are happening in the streets of Belgrade.
Allegedly, cabbies are leaving their taxi station massively,
chasing through the city back and forth, without paying much attention
to the famous call ''Halo taxi''. Details and what's this all about - from our reporter.
Can I get statement for TV? What's all of this?
Don't waste my time!
We're turning right on the 32nd kilometer.
Attention! A new information: Kiddnappers have turned right to Pojate and Green Valley.
He doesn't even have shoes.
Fuck the shoes. Where have he put all that money?
Whom did you tell about the basement? - No one.
I just told the police.
He's even joking with us.
Look at your watch. - Why?
Let's make a bet when will come the police.
I'll kill him.
Have you found him my revolver?
Take it. - Give it to me.
Check out who's there.
Let Sugar come out.
There is no Sugar over here.
I know that he's in the house. His cab is right there.
Go out from the back and catch her.
Sad još samo stranice da stignu na sveto zemljište.
Refrain her.
You come here.
I won't. Let him come out.
Ana, ran away, they'll catch you!
Take my car. She must not reach Belgrade.
We must hid everything from the cellar which can be used as evidence against us.
You have called me. - There is a message for you.
Start it up!
Oh, fuck it.
Whom I speaking with, for fuck's sake?
Sugar!
Roćko, I had my final round today. I've found Đakon in the Green Valley.
You'll shite in your pants when you see what's in the cellar.
They gave me tons of money to keep it quiet.
What is this? I understand nothing.
You rascal! You have found a real joker for this game after all.
Attention! Our colleague have turned on the backroad.
She's somewhere around Big Meadows.
Surround the area between old Obrenovac road and Ibar highway.
Where to, Branko? My flowers are gonna fade away.
Screw the flowers. Let's beat them up.
Let me go!
Please, don't!
Pal, what happened? - They've been busted!
Have they? - No, you were.
I'm always late because of you.
I fuck your leander, I fuck your elecampane and I fuck your coreopsis.
Let's go!
Come on.
Where is Sugar? - I don't know.
What about you?
Me neither.
Keep an eye on these, we go to find them.
Pal, let me keep an eye on them! - Stop, I'll tell you where is Sugar!
Dig there. - I can't, I barely stay on my two feet.
Take him in.
Now, you'll pay me for everything!
You fool. Can't you see you're over?
They come!
How come you?
I promised you I'm gonna kick your ass.
Hold it!
Hold it, you motherfucker...
Look, there is a whole lab there.
Roćko, check this out!
Is he alive? - Of course he is.
Lightning won't hit stinging nettle.
Look this. - How much there is?
A full attic.
Where did you get all these weed?
Peasants have grown these. I have nothing with it.
Đakon says it's a bird food.
Who are these?
What have you done to him? - Self-defence.
You should be happy getting him in one piece.
This is his.
Come with us, we don't want to reload those from our car.
You know I don't like to go to the police. Take my car and give it back later.
Alright.
How come you at Đakon's house? - I had to follow you.
You have promised taking me to the boxing match.
Aga sent them.
Shall we go, then? - Come on.
Dark nights are dangerous trap, people are so evil
Some blackguard is lurking 'round the corner
Be careful, look back
Watch out for yourself, my dear
Sugar, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you
Sugar, for all the men's matches
Sugar, you're insanely proud
Sugar, the world is malicious
Sugar, you're not immortal
Drive on, watch out for yourself
Watch out for yourself
