"Trap for the general" "Gentleman, I think that you know in what position are we." "Germans have retreated." "Military speaking, we lost the battle." "But it's not over yet." "God willing, soon there will be conflict between Russia and America." "Commies are sitting on shaky chair." "It up to us, with help from the aboard to make it more shaky." "What is our first task?" "Foreign countries will help us in two ways." "Materially and by sending saboteurs in the country." "We have to make unsteadiness among people." "By all means and without mercy." "With diversions." "Killing resistants, officers, party members, with sabotages, arsons..." "That we demolish before they can build." "Be without mercy with those who betray us." "Does that means, general, that you're stick to your decision?" "What decision, Ras?" " The one, that we stay in the country and not go abroad." "My commandants should understand that." "Especially you, Ras." "To go abroad means that we are surrending." "We must go back to Serbia." "Now we need iron discipline more then ever." "Correct." "In what way we'll be in touch with you?" "I'll let you know afterwards." "If you'll allow me General, what's with Schwarz?" "There's no words from him from Austria." " He called me." "Schwarz has crossed the border and in a few days he should arrive with his saboteurs." "I sent our man to meet him." "Schwarz's group will be our main force." "I think we understood each other." "Dear minister, it seemed like you were absent on this meeting?" "Dear general, my presence is now redundant." "You would be in a better position if you had listened to ministers before." "This way you lost army and war." "Even great Reich couldn't help you." "And you still have some illusions that you'll do something." "With who, how?" "Fallacy, general." "fallacy." "We were killing, slaughtering these people, terrorizing it, and now you want help from it?" "Our dukes will be welcomed with shitty sticks, general." "What's new my loyal Janko?" "General, army is nearby again." "You have to find another shelter." "We have information that he is somewhere in Bosnia." "With rest of his chetnik units, he's hiding somewhere in the mountains." "Army didn't manage to surround him and capture him." "And is half a year since the war is over." "After all that's not the job for the army." "We have to solve that puzzle." " What do you mean colonel, when the army didn't succeed?" " We need general alive." "Not military destroyed, but alive." "That he admits publicly crimes that chetniks did during the war alongside with the occupator." "When we capture a leader, we'll liquidate rest of the 20.000 renegade, that still pillage in Serbia and Bosnia." "We need kind of man, that can do that by himself." "I hope I was clear." "I think I have that kind of man." "I heard a shot." "When I ran outside, they were already dead." "It was terrible." "I remembered well one of them." "Short, dark." "I'll remember him for life." "That face with a scar, those eyes." "He had a star on his hat." "Doctor, you're needed urgently in room 23." "I'll be right there." "You're feeling better now right?" "You were delirious for a long time." "You were saying something all the time." "I'll tell you later." "Those were happy days, when I was with Kondor." "I'm surprised that I never saw you during the war." "You couldn't see me." "After Kondor I was sent abroad for a special mission." "You shouldn't come back in this hell." "I agree." "I shouldn't" "But there's no other choice for us." "What are you doing now?" " Operating." "I didn't mean that." " I know." "I'm sorry that you're leaving tomorrow." "You'd preferred that I'm still sick?" " No, no." "If you need anything, please don't hesitate." "I'm always here." "I hope we'll see each other again." "Welcome, Ras." "What happened with the teacher and hers?" " We don't know, Ras." "We just hear shot in the night." "We buried them next day." " And Vera?" "We couldn't find her." "They took her somewhere." "What is it?" "Is this Serbian feast?" "Where is celebration?" "Help yourself, Ras." "Is this feast or not?" "What are you waiting for?" " Rejoice." "Dance children." "Vividly, children." "Vividly, vividly!" "What's he doing here?" "He's dancing with his coevals." "Do you know who's his father?" "Never mind the father, it's not child's fault." "Come here." "Come." "You're dancing, you're happy." "Where's your father?" "He's serving, right?" " My father is not a servant!" "How much is he paid?" " Less then Krauts paid you." "Why, Ras?" "!" "Didn't you have enough blood?" "How much longer will you kill this people?" "Army!" " On horses!" "Ras!" "Listen..." "Who is it?" "My little cousin." "I took him not to be alone." "Ras, why did they do it?" " You know what you father was with us during the war." "That's why." "Do you have tobacco?" " I have, I'm saving it for you." "I'll get even with them." "You know that Ras can do that." "Ras I met young doctor in the hospital." "What doctor?" "Wait." "His brother was also killed by the Commies." "He was with Kondor during the war." "And when they came to power he was transferred abroad." "Now he wants connection with you." " Connection with us?" "What's his name?" " Doctor." "That's what they call him." "He was with Kondor you say." "Did you told him something?" " I told him nothing." "He entrusted me." "He wants connection." "I don't want that connection." "Say it to Perun." "I don't know nothing about that." "You understand?" " All right Ras, as you wish." "I thought he could be your contact with foreign countries." "It's going to be hot tonight." " I chose the best guys." "Maybe he won't come." " Don't worry." "Us intelligencers, we know something too." "They are right on time." " Of course, Schwarz was trained in the Gestapo." "So we got him alive." " Da." "Hello aldermen." "What is it?" "What is it comrades." "You scared?" "You have the power, but you don't have the courage." "Lousy, poor cowards." "Well done hero." "You with your guns, we bear handed and you're the brave one." "Great." "Great, bravo." "Now that's a real fighter." "Take this away, and let her stay." "Quickly, get up." "We should save brave comrades." "Wait!" "Where to beautiful?" "Let me go!" "Look at this." "Fools." "They'll put manhunt on us again." "Let's go down there." "What was that, Perun?" "They don't obey brother, they don't." "And your guy is busy." "Wasting his energy." "This can't go one like this, Perun." "It was possible before, not now." "People doesn't want us." "You speak same as you did to the general." "Go abroad and hit them from there." "Ras, that's nonsense." " Abroad, what else?" "Anyway you and Feliks were always keeping aside with the general." "Separated me from him." "You have doubts about everything?" "Are you crazy?" "I'm not crazy." "I was looking for you and Feliks to tell you that." "To tell us what?" "That you made something in your heads, that you standing like the wall between general and me." "But watch it Perun, Ras is not naive." "I don't understand you, Ras, why are you bringing up old things again?" "You'll understand." "Ras can manage without general." "But I'm not sure that he can manage without me." "It's like you're threatening." " Where is the general?" "Why are you hiding him from me?" "I also don't know where is he." "He'll probably call us when he needs us." "Tell him that it can be too late then." "An that he thinks good about everything." "And tell him to get across Drina as soon as possible." "He'll be safer." "Listen up." "Have Vera told you something about some doctor?" "Yes, yes." "I told her I want to meet him." "Don't worry, I'll check him out." "Good afternoon, Vera." " Good afternoon." "That's the way out here." " It's idyllic." "I'm happy to se you again." "You called me very soon." " I had to." "We have a wounded man." " Is he at your house?" " No." "At one of our people." "Vera, can I ask you something?" "Do you still love Ras?" "Don't be surprised." "We all know about that love." "I just want to know how it started." "He suddenly came into our house." "Legends were told about him among the girls." "As soon as I saw him, I knew what will happen." "You loved him very much?" "You're still together?" "He's away for a long time." "Ras is like that." "Hello." "My little cousin." "Don't worry." "There's no one until you reach the village." "You're house is on a good place." "Perun should be here any moment." "He'll take you to see wounded man." "Perun?" "Strange." "Why strange?" " Perun was on the commies side." "They killed his brother." "That's why he's against them now." "Perun is fearsome around here." "Are you Perun?" " Yes." "You accomplishments are well known." " Really?" " Yes." "You're well armed." "Where did you fought Doctor?" " With Kondor." "Do you know Kasepšet?" "You mean Kondor's companion?" " Yes." "He was badly wounded." "I couldn't save him." "Those are our first results." "This will encourage our people." "We live like in a desert." "This is first aid kit." "Where's the wounded man?" "Not far away." "Let's go" "Let's go, Doctor." "Thank you, goodbye." " Goodbye." "Bring me hot water." "Come on, hurry up." "Get him!" "Don't let him escape!" "Take him away." "Who's this?" " My son." "You told me that he died in battle." "Nice..." "They mobilized him." "And he immediately became sergeant right?" "My son!" "Let him go." "It's not his fault." "Let him go." "Let him go." "Tell them." "How is he?" " He'll be all right?" "What's with this?" "We found him hiding." "Scum." "Doctor, would you kill him?" "It's in order to meet like that." "You having a party, Perun?" " Not yet." "You'll see." "Doctor is innkeeper." "Which Doctor?" "Meet him." "Our man from Belgrade." " Doktor." "A, Doktor." " You remember me?" "We were together with Kondor." " Good doctor and even better secret agent." " You have good memory." "Where did you go?" "We haven't heard anything about you." "And we heard all kinds of stories." "We heard something about some partisan secret agent, Doctor." " I know." "Where are you going Doctor?" "To get my bag." "Let him go!" "We served you, fed you and dressed you for 4 years and now you want to wrap us in black." "I beg you!" "General orders." " He's our only son!" "Please, please." "Come on." " Let him go!" "Go on, Doctor." "O, Doctor." "Where have you been for so long?" "You can still drink." " Another one." "What's wrong with you?" "What happened?" "You haven't slept again." "Don't think about that soldier." "That's the life of a secret agent." "Both tragic and heroic." "Secret agent can't be a hero." "Serve your guest." "Everything is going sloppy again." "We caught Schwarz yesterday, and we lost general's trail completely." "Like he's disappeared." "For the first time, we don't know what to do next." "Do you still have fate in that plan with Vera?" "And you?" "I don't know." "We haven't got Ras yet and we want general alive." " You don't say." "General alive." "You saw yourself what happened to me at my first encounter." "They are afraid of their own shadow." " I know." "But you were our best secret agent during the war." "I was." "It's different during the war." "Until we capture him they'll keep terrorizing people." "All right man, what do you want from me?" "What are you convincing me in?" "I told you and the other, trough Vera we'll get Ras, trough Ras to the general." " To the general alive." "Alive, damn it!" "If he doesn't die before." "Enough!" "Listen you two." "Go to Belgrade." "Give this note to Vili." "But be careful." "No one else can get this." "Understand?" "What is it father?" "I heard everything." "Be careful child." "Check his papers." "Get of." "What are you waiting for?" "Get of." "Give me your papers." "Papers I said." "Run away!" "Comrade!" "Why are you banging?" "It's locked." "I want to go inside." "Who are you looking for?" "I live here." "Show me your papers." "I don't have them at my person." " Then you must come with me." "But listen to me..." " You'll explain everything there." "Did you decode the note?" " We did, here." "CHECK WHO IS 'DOCTOR'." "WHAT IS WITH MY ARRIVAL AT BELGRADE?" "RAS" "What's your connection with Ras?" " With Ras?" "I don't even know who that is." "And do you know who's the man from the mansion?" " I have no idea." "When I was leaving the village, they told me to hand over that letter." "Take her to jail." "Call the car on duty." "We're going to the mansion." "There, the grain is here." "I'm grinding it, but for who?" "We live like beasts." "How long will live like this, Ras?" " I don't know." "That's like this mill." "It doesn't stop until grinds everything." "Because there is nothing on the field that does not grow." "Listen, Vid." "You'll have to go to Belgrade too." "You're sending me to Vili?" " To Vili." "Be careful." "Army is everywhere." "How's it possible that all treasons are coming from Belgrade then when Doctor appeared." " What's with Doctor?" "You told me you know him since Kondor." "That he killed their soldier in front of you." "Yes general, but they can kill everyone just to get to you." "Yes." "It's cold general." " Yes." "Everything is ready." "We're splitting into two groups." "Janko will go with you at new hiding place." "Let's go." "Contact remains the same." "That is just patrol." "Others will come later." "I'm experienced with them." "We should've shoot anyway." "It's not always good to follow military rules." "My son." " Welcome." "Where have you been?" " Hello father." "I came to see you, and to leave Lela with you." "My son!" "Mother, my dear mother." "You're getting younger and younger." "You were away for a long time, Lela." "Where are you going son, to leave Lela with us?" "Doctor work, father." "God helps Mile." "God bless you." "Hello lad!" " Hello." "Take good care of Lela father." "She's one of us now." "It's like in war when you were bringing your friends to look after them." "This is something else." "When I come back, we'll make a celebration." "You always say 'when I come back'." "This is the last time father." " How long will you fight in this war?" "Russia and America are done, but you..." "It's Balkan father." "You know it better than I do." " You're right." "Why didn't you rest for a bit?" " Don't tell me twice mother." "Take this for the trip." "God bless you son." " Thank you father." "Who's that other guy?" "There's something strange about that Feliks' message." "To keep the Doctor here, until he arrives." "You wait here, and you come with me." "This Mr. is our friend for abroad." " Sit down." "Sit down." "Mr. Perun." "After Vili's departure, our connection with foreign countries was questionable." "Mr. Pierre is here to get in touch with the general in person." "With the general?" " Yes." "Unfortunately, he switched his hiding place with his staff." "And I'm not in touch with him for now." "This one is from abroad." "Doctor brought him." "Mr. wants contact with the general." "Is the Mr. in touch with our people in Belgrade for a long time?" " I don't know." "They sent him to me two days ago." "Excuse me, Mr. Pierre." "When did you get in touch with our people in Belgrade?" "Three months ago, with Mr. Vili." "What is he saying?" "He says..." " Don't translate, I understand him." "Why do you want to meet with the general?" "As you know, our center in Belgrade was more reliable after the departure of Mr. Vili." " There are other centers in Belgrade." "It's their request." "I took Vili's duty recently." "Pardon me." "Have you received the message." " Yes." "We have to eliminate Doctor right now." "That's general's order." "And the other one?" "Both of them." "What have you decided?" " Everything will be all right." "Give me the water bottle." "Thank you." "It's strong!" "After you." "Here you go." "I have some good tobacco." "You want some?" " Need you ask?" "God bless you old man." " Good afternoon." "What do you need?" " I don't know, maybe I'm mistaken?" "Cousin of mine, they said he's here." " Come in." "Who are you looking for old man?" "Vili." "That's what they said, Vili." " Everything is all right." "You came to the right house." "Vili had to go abroad." "From who are you bringing us the message?" "Cunning Ras." "He's checking Doctor." "Doctor replaced Vili." "You'll tell Ras that we're getting ready for his arrival." "We have to absolutely sure that nothing bad will happen to him." "Thank you, Vid." "Wait for me in new hiding place." "Go." "Ras, I want to go with you." "I don't have anywhere to go after Perun." "May I?" " You may." "Don't come back." "Why were you absent for so long?" " I was hiding." "Army killed Perun and Feliks." "Ferryman betrayed them." "They'll kill you too if you don't leave." "To go where?" "You know that Doctor wanted connection with you long time ago." "Again with that Doctor of yours." " He was looking for you." "He said..." "I know what he said to you." "What are you waiting for then?" "All that is still very suspicious to me." "If I had found Vili..." "Doctor took his place now." "Meet with him." "Go Ras, go." "I can't take it anymore." "This is too difficult for me." "You know that I love you." "You know that I can't live without you." "Go, meet with Doctor." "Save both of us." "Come on boys, to drink something and to leave then." "Come Crni." "Come, take it." "What's the matter?" " He killed them, and me..." "Hey scum?" "Come, come here." "Drink." "With me huh?" "You to stab me in the back." "Don't you know that I love her?" "Drink." "General has ordered that, Ras." "Never mind the general." "Cross yourself." "Ras, no!" "Cross yourself you fucking scum!" "Yes." "Come in." "Come in lad, come in." "What is it?" "Aunt Vera sent you this letter." "Aunt Vera?" " Yes." " Thank you." "Thank you lad, send my love to aunt Vera." "Is that you?" " It's me." " She contacted me." "Our friend will meet me 3 days from now." "Don't hesitate if you realize that they discovered you." "Don't worry." "Goodbye." "Watch it, a signal." "God bless you, Ras." "My name is Doctor." "And now what?" "We are going." " Where?" "To OZNA?" "(The Department of National Security)" "Ras, If you don't believe me." "You decide." "We don't have the time." "To decide?" "What?" " You have only two options." "To kill us, or to come to Belgrade with us." "Stop." "Stop." "I said stop." " What is it?" "!" "You're good, lad." "Now what?" "Sit down." "Make us some coffee." "Make yourself comfortable." "I'll bring us something to drink." "Mercedes." "Black one." "That's our friend from abroad." "Let him in." "Good afternoon." "Good afternoon." " Good afternoon." "How are you?" " Fine, thanks." "Allow me to introduce you." "Mr. Ras, our friend." "Welcome." "Amazing." "Here." " Thank you." "Gentleman, I propose a toast." "Here, Ras you finally arrive in our centre." "I know." "But OZNA center." "Now I know that too." "Why are you smiling?" " You could've kill me right away." "Why did you needed me alive?" "What do you want from me?" "You tricked me, captured me, took Vera away from me." "What else do you want?" "you have my head." "A hero!" " I can't believe that you didn't understood anything." "You couldn't pull this away that Vera didn't get involved." "Listen, Ras." "Unlike the general I value you more." " You don't say?" "Listen." "We want the general." "That's why we needed you alive." "What do you want?" "Say it" " The general." "Your people don't know that you're in our hands." "They think that you are in Belgrade center." "And the general will think that too." "And the general realizes that you were right." "That it's better to act from abroad." "That's what I wanted to tell you." "Help your general to come in Belgrade." "You give us general alive, and we'll give us freedom." "It's like that..." "Man only live once, Ras." "And this is the last thing I'll say to you." "You know very well who you are, and what you were." "You stabbed and burned across this country." "You killed without mercy in the name of king and Serbs, but you betrayed Serbia." "And you're loyal to some lapsed general." "You know what will happen to you." "Gallows." "I have nothing more to offer you." "You give us general, we give you freedom." "Think about it." "All right." "You became fine outlaws." "All right." "You're dressed well." "You're looking good." "Why are you growing your beards?" "Other than commandants that cannot, cover up with anything others don't have beards." "How would you now walk across the villages?" "So, shaving." "Mainly you learned everything." "But still, check it." "You!" " I was in Kondor's corps, I came to Ras to Serbia, when we were defeated on Drina." "You, how will you talk to the general." " Mr. general, lieutenant Mièiæ." "I was in the mountain guard during the war." "My father was in your headquarters before the war." " Great job." "And you." "How will you greet?" " God bless you, Janko." " God help you." "Listen, this will be your last cigarette." "We roll tobacco there, understand?" "And now, one more important detail." "You keep your knife here." "Because you can use it swiftly." "That's Janko's house." "Vera's house is somewhere here too." "God bless you, Janko." " God help you." "Take me to the general." "Who know where he is, Ras." " That's why I came to you." "You know." "You have to find him tonight." "Without delay." "His life is in danger." "Where is Šerman?" "He got killed, like many others." "These are my new followers." "Listen good." "I'll come at dawn." "Don't wait me without general's message." "All right, I'll do everything I can Ras." "What are good news, Janko?" "Nothing good." "Ras is down there with some jeeps and some men." "Who are they?" " I don't know." "Ras." "Let's go see general." "Give me matches." "I didn't believe it." " I did." "Give me one tobacco." "Let's go." "What happened." "Have you brought message from the general?" " Yes." "You have good followers." " And they have good commandant." "Just three?" " There's more of them down there." "Janko didn't mentioned the others." "Does Janko have to know everything?" " All right, Ras." "Let's go, general is waiting for you." "Jovan." "Keep your eyes open." " What do you mean, general?" "If anything happens..." " What can happen?" "I don't know." "Keep it on your mind." "That's an order." "If anything unforeseen happens," "You'll shoot me." " Mr. general." "Remember that." "That's an order from your general." "Our connections are cut here." " Oui." "It will be 'Oui' when we get there." "Ras does not allows to sleep at all." "Welcome, Ras." "These are my followers." "I would like to speak with you in private." "Come." "Brothers, you want some tobacco." " Sure, need you ask?" "It's been a long time since we smoked decently." "Take it." "I came to take you to a safe place." "Can't you see that someone is betraying us?" "There's few of us left, general." "You have to believe your officers." " How come you think, Ras, that I have to go to your territory?" "You were always saying that it's better to go abroad and keep fighting from there." "Those times are changed, general." "Let's go on our territory." "You have plenty of your men there." "You can't leave them alone." "Get ready brothers, move out." "Ras is taking us to Serbia." "And now my loyal Ras, tell me how did you became a traitor." "Why did you brought me commies?" "How much did they pay you?" "How did you know general?" "I'm Doctor." "From Belgrade Center for Communications." " Doctor." "That's right." "He sold us to them for some good money." "He's lying!" "Son of a bitch." " Shut up." " He sold us, he did it." "Yes, I turned him in to protect you." "And brought him here." "Him..." "And these OZNA people." "He killed Perun." "These four are their people." "And these are my men." "Tie him!" "Who are you going to tie..." "I hope that you believe me now Mr. general." "Your doubts in me could've kill you." "How do you know about my doubts." " Didn't you send Feliks, to kill me?" "And Feliks was their man from the start." "He betrayed Vili, Schwarz, Perun." "I killed him." "Feliks too?" "Only you and Feliks knew where will Schwartz cross the river." "And sure you didn't betrayed him." "Disarm them." "We must go, general." "Army is very close." "Move on!" "Army, get down." "Oui." "Fire!" "Fire" " No." "Don't shoot." "You won't shoot you general right?" "Shoot, I'm telling you!" "Put down your weapon." "Jovan." "Shoot!" "It's an order!" "I'm ordering you, shoot!" "It's good, you're safe and sound general." "You're wounded." "Oui." "Just to sleep a bit..." "Translated by Inglourious @KG"
