VIENNA, AUSTRIA
It turned up. In Belgrade!
You're leaving tomorrow morning.
Are you sure it is the original?
We're not even sure that the original is the original.
BRUSSELS, BELGIUM
My son... Sasyenka...
I know he will never rise to be a leader.
He is not that bright.
But I thought he could become an officer.
He will be an officer.
In our homeland.
- To our homeland. - To our homeland.
My youngest child, Sofia...
She is a talented ballet dancer...
She also sings beautifully.
We'll find her a teacher
for both singing and ballet.
She'll get a scholarship...
I have another request.
Speak.
Bury me...
In a brotherly Orthodox land.
I promise.
- To our homeland... - To our homeland...
Steppe, steppe all around us,
There's a long path in it,
In that desert steppe
A coachman was freezing.
Gathering his strength,
His death hour he forebode...
Give it to me...
Black Sun
Tane, Tane! Are you alive, my brother?
Don't die on me, Tane!
Move it! Quickly!
What are you doing there, goddammit?
Lift your asses, we're going to battle!
Your Highness, this is Captain Tanasiyevich.
He must go to the hospital immediately.
Congratulations on your wound!
Stay with him, wait for the carriage.
Others, follow me! Attack!
They are going with this lunatic. None of them will come back.
They're all going to meet our Saviour.
It's a boy, a soldier like you.
- They told me you were dead. - I'm not.
That you were killed in a battle led by the crazy Prince Djordje.
No!
Shut up, save your breath.
This is my wife.
And this is my child.
And you're dead, Tanasiyevich. Dead! Dead...
- Who is it? - Inspector, it's me, Milisav!
What is it? What's the matter?
There's been another murder.
Tell the others: I want every stone turned, everything!
If you find something, don't touch it. Call me! Is that clear?
Yes, sir!
Inspector!
Didn't I tell you I won't work with you anymore?
Do you think I like working with you?
Inspector...
Should I call Zhivoyin?
- Milisav, where is the head? - Inside.
I don't want you to think I'm doing this out of spite...
Commissioner insisted that I investigate this case with you.
I'm doing this alone.
Do what you want, I don't need you.
Here.
Looks like this was done with a sabre.
Or maybe an axe?
Though sabre is more likely.
What happened here? Some sort of a costume party?
No, they dress up like that every day.
What shall we do with the witnesses?
There are too many of them. We can't question all of them.
- Zhivoyin. - Yes, sir?
Take their ID's.
Tell them to come to prison tomorrow.
We'll question them there.
Great idea. Do you want me to question the husband now?
Do not question anyone until I get back. Understood?
- No one leaves the hall. - Okay!
Who let you in here?
I need to pee.
Jova!
Wait for him to finish and get him back there.
Excuse me, inspector. The professor...
I'm sorry, they want to keep us here for hours,
and my husband is really ill.
I know it's unethical to use private contacts with the police
but my wife and I were here all night, counting the votes...
If you have more questions, drop by for a cup of coffee.
We have to go now, he must take his medicine.
It's alright. Thank you.
Goodbye.
What do you think, Ma'am, who tarnished his soul with a sin?
I don't know...
but such a terrible death is for communists and adventurers,
but this is simply not for such a nice and respectable woman.
It's just not right.
- Maya, don't. - Here's the guest list.
Maybe you'd like to question the husband now?
That woman is wearing the same dress as our victim.
- Voyin. - Not here.
I'll be okay, don't worry.
Beside her is the victim's husband, Voyin Djukich, the state prosecutor.
I know who the state prosecutor is.
Mr. Djukich, I'm Inspector Tanasiyevich.
Accept my condolences.
Inspector Tanasiyevich.
- Maya Davidovich. - Nice to meet you.
Excuse me, could you please stay for a moment?
- I have a few questions for you too. - Why?
Because I'm the inspector.
I know you're still in shock, but can you please try to remember
when you last saw your wife alive?
I really don't know...
Before the last dance. It was crowded, the music...
I didn't even notice when she went out.
And you didn't dance with her?
He danced with me.
That's what I thought.
What do you mean by that, inspector?
Inspector, it'd be better if you questioned me first.
He's in shock.
- Alright. Did you know the victim? - Yes.
We weren't friends, but we had a common circle of acquaintances.
Did you have anything else in common?
Like?
- The costume. - Yes.
It would be best if you asked my seamstress why Violet
asked her for a replica of my costume.
Move aside! Go on, move!
Mr. Djukich, please accept my deepest condolences.
Rest assured that we will find who did this.
Justice will be done.
Commissioner, we were in the middle...
It's late.
Please, go home and get some rest, if possible. Get some sleep.
Inspector will call you to make arrangements for your questioning.
- To make the arrangements? - Please.
- That's the least we can do. - Thank you, commissioner.
- I'm so sorry. - Inspector.
Tane!
Sorry.
Jesus, he's the state prosecutor! Zhivkovich called me to intervene.
Will he intervene if it turns out that Djukich is the murderer?
Do you think that a man of his stature would kill his wife like that?
Never mind the stature, look at the man.
What if this girl talked him into it?
- You know she is his mistress? - He is her mistress.
That's Arseniye Davidovich's daughter.
She's loaded, has two PhD's.
Next time you want to do something, report to me first.
Is that clear?!
Inspector, we took all the documents.
- Here's the guest list. - Good.
Milisav should go after Maya Davidovich.
You heard the man.
Don't let her out of your sight!
I also thought she was suspicious.
I reckoned I should stay here, to try to find the weapon.
Do what you want, I'm going to bed.
Milentye!
Why are you standing there, man? Why?
You're the last persons I wanted to see...
Welcome, shalom, hello!
It's not the same goods?
Macedonian.
Macedonian?
So, it's true what they say...
That the Macedonian opium is better than the Turkish?
Turkish opium might be weaker,
but the Turks transfer it by train in a day.
And Macedonian opium arrives on camels and donkeys,
while the caravans are protected by Macedonian bandits.
Well, think of something.
It will be worth your while,
as well as mine.
We'll think about it.
Goodbye.
If gendarmes weren't protecting them,
- we'd crush them with ten men. - We can't go to war with them too,
- but the boss is working on it. - I'd love that.
Dobrivoye, you screwed me!
If it weren't for him, they'd never have found me.
Don't you worry about Dobrivoye, look out for yourself.
- And get this truck back, come on! - Okay, fine.
Barber shop FIGARO
Anybody there?
BLOODY MURDER OF THE STATE PROSECUTOR'S WIFE
Stop weeping, son. You're giving me a headache.
Greetings from Moscow.
There was nothing else left in the altar?
No. Take it all. I don't need anything anymore.
I don't want to live anymore!
Don't talk like that, my son...
Be careful what you wish for.
Now, be a good boy...
and tell me what have you done with the 42nd object?
There was a necklace...
Was it in the box?
Yes, it was.
Whom did you sell it to, my son?
I didn't sell it.
I gave it...
to the woman I love!
And where is she now?
It'd be silly to specify the cause of death when it's so obvious.
The killer has a skill in handling the blade.
Clean surgical cut.
If you catch him, bring him here to be my assistant.
This one is no good.
Don't sweat it, my colleague treats me even worse.
She could've been drugged or poisoned;
it's not easy to cut a head.
She'd have resisted, but we'll know more when we get the blood tests.
I'll give you the report now.
- That's it. Here you go. - Thank you, Boyana, you're wonderful.
You studied forensics in Lausanne?
Yes, it was a great privilege.
What was it like?
Everything is different...
people, dedication to work...
Maybe we could go for a walk some time.
Why not?
No strings attached. I just thought you might need
a guide through Belgrade since you haven't been here in a while...
Yes, of course.
I'm familiar with Belgrade though.
Okay, never mind then.
Goodbye.
Have a nice day.
Hi Tane!
Leave me alone with your plum brandy.
You won't find this anywhere.
A cabbage, please.
Sure. Here's nice one... Don't.
It's on the house.
And find a woman like that – beautiful, ripe and blush.
- And plump. - Tanasiyevich!
- Where is my wife? - A few more, please.
Did you hear what I'm saying?!
She is not in my jurisdiction anymore!
Go away!
Stop playing dumb. She's not at her aunt's,
not at her mother's, nowhere. Where is she?
If you had beaten her less, she wouldn't have run away.
I beat her because I have the right to.
Had you beaten her more, she'd be at home, waiting for you.
Who are you to lecture me? You stinking cop!
Lay your finger on me and no Djolovich will help you!
I'm a royal officer!
You're a royal dickhead! What the fuck do you want?
If she comes to you, please tell her to come back to me.
Children are crying all day long, I don't know what to do.
I'm begging you.
Inspector, do you need any help?
What do you want, Sveta?
Zhivoyin told me to let you know
that Milisav called and said the lady was going on a trip.
I don't know if or when I'll come back, but please,
- if they try to take over the bank... - Don't worry.
Soon there'll be nothing to take over.
- Uncle Tache. - Don't Uncle Tache me.
You started a meaningless war,
and now you're off to Vienna to eat Sachertorte or what...
I'll tell you all when I get back. Believe me, I had no choice.
Alright!
Did you take everything you need? Your passport?
Mr. Papahagi, a policeman is looking for her.
Good afternoon, how may I help you? Good afternoon, I'm looking for
Miss Maya Davidovich. I was told that she works here.
You were misinformed.
All of us here work for Miss Davidovich.
Inspector Tanasiyevich, crimes dept.
I'd like to see her and ask her a few questions.
Pleasure to meet you. My name is Tache Papahagi.
I'm the manager of this bank and Davidovich family lawyer.
Anything you need to ask, you can ask me.
It's alright, Taki.
Inspector, please come in.
Sorry to come unannounced,
but last night it didn't seem like you had any commitments in your life.
And you seem more like a victim of a crime,
than someone who is supposed to solve it.
Did Mrs. Djukich know about you and her husband?
Well, if you managed to figure it out, I'm sure she did too.
And did you kill Violeta Djukich?
Me?
Yes.
Why would I kill her, inspector?
Why would then push Voyin into my bed?
I was disturbing her, not the other way around.
I see your mother raised you well.
She didn't have the time to raise me,
she died when I was little.
Miss...
It's okay, Inspector Petroniyevich is on his way.
Tanasiyevich. Yes, I am.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Can you please give me your passport?
Inspector, I demand to know why?
It's a usual procedure during an ongoing investigation.
Investigation?
You better give me your passport or I will have to arrest you.
Thank you very much.
It'd be wise not to leave Belgrade for a while.
I don't want to have to search for you. Goodbye.
I will cancel the ticket to Vienna.
Sweetheart, it's time for you to move to the old house.
It's hard to keep an eye on you here.
I'd rather die than go there.
I know you mean well, but please.
I have to do this alone.
What's the rush, people? No... Wait...
Please, my madam is unwell, give her ID back.
Sorry. It's against the law.
She must come here to give a statement.
Once she does that, she'll get her documents back.
But...
- Wait for your turn, please! - I have to be in Ljubljana tonight!
Wait for your documents and then go wherever you want!
- Excuse me! - Make some room!
How's it going?
These people have no discipline. They all want to get in first.
Alright, speed it up a little.
Easy, easy... Back off!
Is that all? Do you have anything to add?
Yes. Are you married?
Please, don't get me wrong. I'm looking at how handsome
you are and I have this niece, a wonderful girl...
Goodbye, Madam.
This is incredible. No one saw anything.
Look them in the eye.
It's not what they say, it's how they say it.
You two, come here!
Someone robbed Mr. Djukich's home.
Don't make a circus out of it, go there after dark
and inspect the scene discretely.
In a civilized manner, Pletikosich.
- Boss, boss, boss! - What?!
- It's your men, they say it's urgent. - What?
What do they want?
Ah, Dobrivoye, my son. What have you done?
What have I done?
You became expensive.
Thirty bags of purest Macedonian opium.
I'll pay for all of it, everything. Tell the Monk...
Shut up! Shut up!
He has a message for you...
Hold his hand...
Gun, gun!
You're fired!
Next time, don't interrupt me during a shag.
Give me the key.
It's unlocked.
Up.
Stop!
Down! Get down!
Who are you?
Inform all of our men that the general will be here on time.
Gather everyone to welcome him! Including you!
The apartment is occupied. A guest from Vienna is staying there
This is Captain Fyodor Stcherbatsky.
You have an hour to clear the apartment.
An hour, not a minute more!
Don't make me come there.
- Where is Alyosha? - He hasn't arrived yet.
Let's go! Come on!
Milisav!
Quick, over here! Bring a stretcher and a towel.
Get him out of the car. Bring a towel! Come on, man!
Wash his wound.
Towel!
Nothing to see here, get back to your business!
My dearest Violeta, love, Alyosha.
Did you send these letters to her?
Is your name Alyosha?
Do you hear me? Are you Russian?
What's your name?
I believe I saw you the other night with Fyodor Stcherbatsky.
I'll call him to ask if he's missing one of his own.
What did I say? Back off, move! Come on!
Dress his wound!
Put him on the stretcher and take him into custody!
My name is Aleksei Grushnitsky, lieutenant of the Kuban Corps,
under the command of General Vrangel.
I'll tell you everything.
But there's one condition.
My commanding officer mustn't know about this.
Don't wave that gun at me! You want to kill me?
I'm sorry.
- Why did you break into the house? - I didn't.
Violeta gave me the keys.
When I got there, the door was already broken.
And who is the guy I shot? Who is he?
I don't know...
Maybe he broke into the house before me.
Alyosha,
did you kill Violeta Djukich?
No.
I loved her.
Good evening, Mr. Fyodor. How are you?
Raise the ramp.
How are you, Effendi Sevket?
Things could always be better, my friend.
Open it.
Thank you.
Have a nice trip.
How long are we going to kiss their asses?
They're so rude!
Professor Rayachky, excuse me, a gentleman is here from Vienna.
He wants to speak with you urgently.
Good evening, Count Rayachky. Count Fleischer has sent me.
He wants to speak with you urgently.
When we asked for help,
I hoped for information, logistics and money.
Gabriel Macht, at your service.
I'm sorry, I didn't know...
I thought...
It is a great honour to have you here to help us.
I'm not here to help. I came to take over.
Of course. You will get everything you need.
There's no need for exaggerated courtesy, Count.
I have enough Slavic blood to have more respect for a good brandy
than for compliments.
But enough German to finish my job first.
So, this is the designation?
- Yes. - And you're sure that's it.
No.
But it appeared when the treasure was stolen from the church.
- The Romanov treasure. - So, there is hope?
More than just hope,
that's why we have already taken certain measures.
So I've heard. And, who's in charge?
A very capable and responsible man.
- I'd like to meet him. - Of course.
Tell me, when do I get to meet the head?
First, the initiation ceremony.
Yes. Of course.
Now, bring the brandy.
Maria!
Good evening.
- Are you tired? - A bit.
And now what?
Let's have supper to begin with.
How long shall we go on like this?
I don't know.
But let's make it good while it lasts.
Sonya...
Your children are home. Waiting for you.
- Crying. - Oh, c'mon.
They're not to blame.
I'm not either.
It's not fair.
You know I didn't know you were alive.
- You know I would have waited? - I know.
So what do you want from me?! You're playing games with me!
Please, for God's sake.
Give me the key.
I want to end this forever.
No! I'm not giving you the key!
I'm going, see you soon.
I knew, I told you that would happen.
But no one listens to me! Stanko!
Madam?
It's me, where have you been?
- What are you doing here, Madam? - Don't you Madam me.
There's no Madam after shagging.
What do you want?
I want my child back.
It's your fault, you asked about it.
I have barely slept since.
The thug got me pregnant and took the kid.
Says I'm scum...
He doesn't want my dirt in his family!
- And you're a cop. - Inspector.
Yeah. Well, inspect this.
Gladly, but I'm in the middle of a big case
- and I haven't got the time. - Oh, really?
But you had time for a three-hour shag?
Okay, what do you want?
This is the baby's birth certificate. I also have witnesses.
A midwife and a priest. Just say the word.
Tell me, Mara, what is the father's name?
That's the problem, I don't know.
Okay, I'll do my best. Goodbye.
Okay. And drop by.
Don't be a stranger.
I'll be around.
Yeah, okay. What happened next?
I really don't know what else to tell you?
We drank, danced, the lights went off and on.
Wait, did they turn them on or off? You're not making any sense.
That was the concept of the ball.
First they went off, then back on. Then we saw the head.
Did you know Violeta Djukich?
I did, but we weren't close.
She was one of the benefactors of our arts group.
We're all members of her "Byzantium" art group.
Take your hat off.
Did Maya Davidovich leave the party?
How should I know?!
Ask her! Stop harassing us!
My painting has to be ready for the exhibition!
Sit down! Stop yelling!
You're all painters?
- I'm a sculptress. - And I'm a photographer.
You don't say.
You wouldn't have photos from the party?
Of course I would, I was hired to eternalize the event.
Perfect. You're free to go, except for you.
Professor... Inspector,
I didn't have the time to develop the photographs.
Maybe it'd be better if I go with them?
It can wait.
Come over here.
Where did you get all those bruises?
Some husbands don't like it when their wives pose for me.
My, my... You're a real ladies' man.
Was Violeta Djukich your model, by any chance?
No, no... Never.
Inspector, the commissioner wants to see you...
Can't you see I'm questioning a witness?
He says he's in a hurry.
Okay. Give me your hand.
- What? - Sit down.
Have a drink, I'll be right back.
C'mon, let's go!
But I need to develop the...
You haven't had much sleep?
Yeah, your lover's wife is like some kind of relative.
I just wanted you to relax a bit.
What do you think, who could have cut her head off?
Like in the Middle Ages.
- Maybe Voyin hired someone? - No.
Violeta was killed because of me.
Neven told some criminals about the negatives.
He told them they were mine.
They probably confused us because of the costume.
Dear lord, are you sure?
It should have been me. It's as clear as day.
- Stupid idiot! - I'm an idiot! I am!
I told you to stop those shenanigans.
You thought you could blackmail the head of secret service?
With the help of none other than your opium junkies and fags.
But I had it all figured out.
I even made sure they never find out it was me.
You figured it out really good, didn't you?
And now what?
When's your guy coming over?
Why on earth did I even mention him to you?
I told you he'd use the photos for his own benefit.
Believe me, I have a proposition for him.
Please, tell me, is he coming and when?
I don't even know if he's alive, let alone if he's coming!
He should have already been here by now.
I have been waiting for him for days.
I'm sorry.
What if I told Konstantin to ask the general?
Maybe he forgot who your dad was, maybe he'll take pity on you?
He owes a favour to Konstantin and he won't say no to him.?
He will, for sure. Thank you, Krista.
I'll return the bloody negatives to Neven,
And then I'll disappear. Until the dust settles.
You could hop over to Budapest.
I have a guy there, and he has a nice colleague for you.
What do you say?
You're going to make a scandal!
Now that Djukich has a case against the IMRO.
Did that Russian really...
Yes. He fucked her.
Am I supposed to indict him for that?
No, no! Do you have any proof of it?
Yes. He had the key,
and we found letters and the necklace
he gave to the madam. They were having an affair..
Here's what we'll do.
Bring me the letters and the necklace and forget the rest.
Okay, but I'll have to put that in my report.
You will write what I tell you to write!
The Russian is a thief!
Djukich bought the necklace for his wife,
and you haven't seen the letters! Is that clear?
Or maybe you want to get fired?
Inspector, we cannot agree to this.
We have to report this to someone.
Here, take this.
I can't shoot for both of us anymore.
Thank you.
And stop calling me sir, we're in this together now.
Inspector!
Holy crap, photographer! What are you doing here?
No one came to check up on me, ask me if I'm thirsty,
if I want to go to the loo... Take him to develop the film.
Wait... Come on.
It's not fair, I'm hungry. I became numb.
You're not really going to give that to the commissioner?
An order is an order.
Can you hurry up, please?
- Do you have a cigarette? - No, I don't smoke.
Something else to smoke?
Are you mad? I'm an inspector.
That's why I ask.
How much time do you need to develop those photos?
An hour or two.
I had three more photos left
for the winning costume, but...
You saw what happened...
- Who is it? - Who?
Wait for me in the shop.
Sir, I just want to ask you something!
What are you doing here?
Bravo! Bravo! Russia! Russia!
Our saviour, may God bless you with good health.
Mr. Krasnov...
Thank God you came. Did they tell you?
I know everything, don't worry.
Are you building anything new in Belgrade?
We've been pretty busy.
Hopefully, soon we will be building in our dear Russia.
Welcome, general.
Now that you're here, you have to come and see our premiere.
Alright, enough! Get out!
Brothers and sisters!
Have faith!
We will save our dear Russia!
We're launching an offensive in the spring!
Neven!
Vrangel! Vrangel! Vrangel! Vrangel!
