"BELGRADE, 1982" "Hi." " What brings you here?" " What brings me here?" "You told me yesterday I should come for my dough." "I meant to give it back to you." "I had a little emergency." "You are high again?" "Let"s settle this." "You like to fuck." "Come in for a drink." "Someone"s on the door." "This is my girlfriend." "You really called her over." "20 YEARS LATER" "ZURICH" "I don"t need any money, bro." "I bought the ticket." "Meet me at the airport tomorrow." "I hope you" II stay a little longer this time." "I"ve told you, for good." "I barely managed to move out the subtenants." "You"ve been renting father"s apartment?" "How else could I send you the money for your gambling debts?" "I hope they didn"t damage the icon." "The father"s room was locked up all the time." "Well." "Which casino will we visit tonight?" "I have a vague impression that you don"t believe me." "I can"t imagine why?" "I believed you a hundred times already." " Well?" " Well, what?" "Am I taking an exam here, professor?" "It would be amusing for me to hear your reasons for changing your life this time." "Bro, I"ve been as old as you, you were never as old as I." "This is all what"s left of my gambling." "This deck saved my life once." "I"m keeping it for luck." "I thought you have quit this shit." "This is fucking strong." "I haven"t smoked for a long time." "I rarely go to bars, too." "I only smoke a little when I" m in the mood." "I hope God will forgive me." "If that"s your arrangement with Him." "There are no arrangements with Him." " Aren"t you a bit drunk?" " I might be." "You, motherfucker." "I still can"t fucking believe you"re back." "Lucky, my old buddy!" "May she rest in peace." "You had a good and beautiful wife." " Damn the day I met her." " What"s that crap?" "One should not have children in his old age." "My Sanja has leukemia, just as her mother had." "I"d give everything if I was sick instead of her." "There must be a cure, Preacher." "There must be." " What are they doing?" " Eh, today"s kids." "They have no clue." "We lived through a lot in our days." " And we came so far." " We came so far." "How far, Lucky Boy?" "What have we done in life?" "I"m half a century old and I have nobody on earth." "But you got yourself a steady job." "Strict working hours!" " And this thing of yours with." " Horoscope." " Yes, horoscope." "Extra job." "Fleecing fools." "I mean, that sort of thing." "That"s a good one." "People are buying it." "Fuck it." "They"re paying for some comfort, hope." "For some of us it was obvious from the start that there is no hope." " You"re exaggerating." "Do you remember Zoran Radosavljevic?" "Why did you think of him now?" "If I tried to help him, he would still be alive." "I must light a candle on his grave tomorrow." "I really must." "No one could help him." "I"m going to play our song." " This is the vet night, guys." " Fuck you, grandpa." "Kid." " What do you want?" " Your music is fine." "What the fuck.?" "Knock him down, Preacher!" "Fuck you now." "Kid." " What is this?" " What?" "This?" "In this town they definitely don"t respect old people." "But the old guys still have a few kicks." " Is that here somewhere?" " Come on." "It would be better if we buried father in the village." "So the peasants could visit their priest"s grave and pray." "We probably would, if I knew your address when father died." "He"s looking at me and doesn"t believe I"m back." "Father believed in you more than you think." "Come on." "L"ve always been the black sheep in the family." "He wanted me to become a priest, like him." "You didn"t have to flee abroad because of that." "For Mr. Aksentiejvic, from Yugoslavia." "You know he made me read Bible, while other kids were playing." ""In order to recognize the Lord you must recognize yourself, then you woulnd"t search for Him in the Order of the Universe, but you"ll see in yourself, as in some little world," "the great wisdom of His." "Your sarcasm irritated him the most, as it irritates me today." "I only wanted to live my life, nothing else." " And I am not?" "Did I become a priest, is something wrong with me?" "I believe, I respect." "I go to church on Sundays." " I am fasting." " I am fasting, too." "I know you" re fasting, when ever you lose playing cards." "I"m visiting the grave for the first time." "It seems it was destined to be that way." "You" re just like father." ""lt"s all out of my control, I"m only following His thought." "Bro, nothing is out of your control, you control everything." "But you must have some principle as guidance in your life." "Especially if it"s big enough to hide behind it." "All right." "Light those candles and let"s go." " Who is the third one for?" " For Zoran Radosavljevic." "You know that friend of mine, who drowned himself?" "Why don"t you visit his grave?" "I don"t know where he was buried." "I"ll tell you something I didn"t tell anyone before." "Pangs of conscience trouble me because of him for years." "I have nightmares, I wake up in cold sweat." "Why?" "Lt"s not your fault he killed himself." "For Mr. Aksentijevic." "From Yugoslavia." "If I answered his call, he might still be alive." "If it"s not necessary, I wouldn"t stay there long." "It"s not so boring there." "You can hear all sort of things." "You know I"m a priest"s child." "I consider it heresy." " Come on, man." " You really fall for that?" "I know there is something in it." "Cut the crap, man." "Do you want us to collect that money of yours or what?" "OK, I" II play along." "Not another word." "Milutin!" "Zorica, is that you?" "Yes." "I planted the roses on the balcony as you wanted." "Forty eight in one row." "What about the children?" "Gligorije passed the exam." " Will he show up?" " He promised he"ll be here." "Jelica carries a girl." "I"d like to name her after you." "Your sister tells you not to worry." " How is my Milena?" " She"s very well." "She spent two weeks in a spa, but instead to get cured, she caught a flu." "Five grands." "Now she is quite well." " L" II be right back." " Where are you going now?" "Don"t worry about us either." "We" II talk soon again." "Preacher!" "Preacher, it"s me." "Zoran Radosavljevic." "Do you know who are you talking to?" "You"ve lit candles on my grave." "Do you want to ask me something?" "You wanted to ask me something?" "Why did you kill yourself?" "I didn"t kill myself." "I was murdered." "Who murdered you?" "Susan Leutes, 24 Smiljaniceva Street." "24 Smiljaniceva Street." "Zoran Radosavljevic" "I am standing here knocking at the door, if someone hears my voice and opens the door, I"ll come in." "Susan" "I didn"t kill myself." "I was murdered." "SUSAN" "Why didn"t you wait for me last night?" "Fuck you." " Why?" "What"s the problem?" " You left me with those fools." "I waited until I got pissed off and then I left." "Here are five grands." "Thank you, Lucky." "Sorry, I have to ask you when will you pay me back." "I could do it now if you want." "Don"t be an asshole." "I"m asking because of that guy." "Soon." "I got a letter from court two days ago." "They"re returning some slot machines to me, so I"ve ordered my lawyer to sell everything." "When he sends me the money, I"ll start some business." "I wanted to borrow from my brother, but he has no money." " I know." " OK, thank you again." "Bye, I"m in a hurry." "Excuse me, do you happen to have an extra ticket?" "Actually, I do." "May I bay you a drink in return?" "I usually don"t drink, but if you insist." " What should I bring you?" " Something strong, you choose." "Here you are." "Everything was different when I was here last time." "You were away for a long time." "The theater was renovated ten years ago." "I"ve been living abroad for twenty years." "You are here on vacation?" "I"m here to stay." "If it"s not a secret, what was your reason to come back?" "I"m looking for a better job." "Finally someone funny." "Thank you for the ticket." "I enjoyed it." "Thank you for the drink." "But now I have a big problem." "Do you know a decent place where I could pay you back?" "Unfortunately I have to go home." "My daughter will get home and she has no keys." "Never mind, then." "Maybe some other time." "But if you like, we could have coffee at my place." "Only if you promise to behave." "Oh yes." "I didn"t introduce myself." "My name is Susan." " Petar Aksentijevic." " My pleasure." " Relax." "I promised I"ll behave." " Do I know you from somewhere?" "Until you come up with a more original question, what would you like to drink?" " Coffee." " Coffee and.?" "And. "Keep walking"." "Did you come up with an original question?" "Where is this girl"s father?" "In my life he counts as missing." " Missing?" "How?" " Just like that." "The man went into the wide world." "It"s important that he left you such a beautiful daughter." " His name was Leutes?" " My father"s name was Leutes." "When did he move to Belgrade?" "He was born in Belgrade." " But the name Leutes is." " A German name." "Let me guess." "Your grandfather was a SS-officer, who." " Who came to Belgrade in 1718." " When?" "You heard well." "In 1718." "Excuse me, did your ancestors move to New or old Belgrade?" "My folks came here when the Austrians liberated Belgrade from the Turks." "So they were bloodthirsty hussar soldiers." "I must have made a good impression on you." "Do I look like a genetically predisposed murderer?" "I am just following the logic of the story." "My ancestors were builders." "They came one year later with baron DeMoressa, who reconstructed the Belgrade Fortress." " Good alibi." " And what"s your alibi?" "Why would I need an alibi?" "There must have been a reason for you to leave Belgrade." "I think the water for the coffee is boiling." "Good evening." "Good evening." " L"m Tamara Leutes." " Aksentijevic." "You are mom"s new boyfriend?" " Well, I don"t think." " Don"t feel uncomfortable." " I like you better than Thomas." " Thomas?" "Of course." " Who is Thomas?" " Tamara!" "Sorry." "I hope we"ll meet under less disturbing circumstances." "Where have you been?" "Why didn"t you call me?" "You know very well what we agreed upon." "Why don"t you say something?" "You" re just like your father." "We" II talk about this later." "I am so sorry." "She is unbearable." "She is in that age." "But to talk to you in that manner." "We were in that age, too." " It was different then." " How different?" "Did you flirt with your mother"s friends in that age?" " Let"s not exaggerate." " I know her better." "Sorry." "Your first visit and you have to see all this." "It doesn"t matter." "Well." "I have to go." "It"s late." "What about coffee?" "I better pass." "I will not be able to sleep." " I ruined your evening." " No, everything"s fine." "Give me your number, I"ll call you." "Call me." " Hello." " Hello." "I"m looking for professor Aksentijevic." " Do you have an appointment?" " No." "As a matter of fact." "Maybe." "L"m his brother." "Oh, so you are the adventurer." "I"m sorry." "I"m a bit direct." "No problem." "You are not wrong at all." "Please, you can wait for him in his office." "Thank you." "Let me ask you something." "Could you help me?" "Just say it." "I"ve heard you are experienced in these things." "To help me we with a combination for lotto." "What could a beautiful woman like you be missing?" " Many things." "For example." " Consider it done." "Three, two, four." "." "Six, one, five, seven." "So this is your winning combination." " My phone number." "Put that down." "There are no pictures in it." "Sorry I" m late." "L" m helping a friend with some research in Kalemegdan Fortress." "Do you see how we live?" "I"ve planed to take you to lunch, but I must go back." "Sorry." "Yes?" "L"m coming." "Right away." "Did you consider to find a job?" "Do you need money?" " Not at all." " L"d like to help you." "But you must help me first." "I don"t know what you want." "Now I only know what I don"t want." "When I find out what I want, I"ll let you know." "How will you let me know?" "Again by phone from abroad?" "In about twenty years." "Let me pull myself together." "Everything will be fine." "All right." "I"m a little tense, you know." "Don"t worry, bro." "I"m going to be just fine." " We should do this again." " Your place or mine?" " Bye." " Bye, and?" " L" II call you." "Where have you been, Fatso?" " Some things never change." " It"s not what you think." "We"ve been filling out a lotto ticket." "And I taught you fucked her." "Watch your language." "We" re not young anymore." "Lend me a suitcase." "What do you need a suitcase for?" "I promised Sanja to take her on a vacation." " Where to?" " To grandma"s, where else?" "You weren"t much of a company as it was." "Why didn"t you come to the theatre the other night, punk?" "You wouldn"t believe who I run into." "Do you remember Natasha?" "Natasha?" "Yeah, Natasha." "I forgot the combination." "And that"s why you were late?" "Only five minutes." "But you already left." "As we" re already revoking memories, what does the name Susan Leutes mean to you?" "I wonder what women see in you." " You know her?" " Never heard of her." "One of yours platonic affairs to fill out lotto tickets?" "I"m serious." "Was she by any chance Zoran"s girlfriend?" "He was only interested in dope." "That"s why he killed himself." " What is with that Susan?" " Nothing." "Forget it." "Damn thing." "What do you know?" "Combination: "Hit it." "Professor." "I brought your books from the apartment." " Thanks." " What are you digging up here?" " You"ll see." "We" re exploring the underground passages of baron DeMoressa." "DeMoressa?" "The one who reconstructed the fortress?" "How do you know?" " I met his cousin." " When?" "200 years ago?" " She must be well preserved." " You"re right, you know." " Who are you waving to?" " Nothing." "My mistake." "Sorry to bother you." "But if we can drop Tamara first to that cocaine-party of hers, and than we"ll go for a drink." "No problem." "It"s on our way anyway." "Susan, your friend is so cool." "Thank you." " Can I go with you for a drink?" " Can we go to your party?" "This is my daughter"s favorite music." "Play this, please." "She forgot the tape." "Tamara!" "I"ve always dreamed that some mature woman like you would introduce me to the world of grown up men." "Who could expect that from a priest"s son?" "And what is expected from a priest"s son?" "To be religious, humble." " Am I not?" " Maybe I am wrong." "Maybe I am just judging on the first sight." "Woe betide you hypocrites, who pretend to be righteous, but you are full of hypocrisy and sins inside of you." "Woe betide you writers and Pharisees, you hypocrites, who are building tombs to prophets and adorning graves of righteous men." "I"ve been reading the Bible a little." "Interesting medallion." "The city of Jericho." "One can"t understand anything on either side." "F.A.S." "FAS." "God"s right." "DeMoressa?" "That"s the guy from Kalemegdan you mentioned." " Did I mentioned I"m engaged?" " Engaged?" "Like engaged in a fight?" "I am serious." "I would like you to meet my fiance?" "All in good time." "Now is not the right moment." "It seems to me now is just the right moment." " I am Thomas." " You came quickly." "I fought my way over here." "Should I run one lap around the cafe braying?" "Frankly I don"t see what else you could do." "Where are you going?" "You don"t have to go." "I just remembered I have some important business to do." " Waiter!" " No, everything"s fine." "I don"t hear you." " What are you doing here?" " What?" "You don"t know?" "I know." "You came because of me." "What?" "Susan kicked your ass?" "You see who I am living with?" "Now our saliva is mixed up." " Shall we sit here?" " All right." "Let me ask you something." "Are you really flirting with all Susan boyfriends?" " Are you Susan"s boyfriend?" " I asked you first." "Come on." "Without exception." " And what"s with that." " Thomas?" "I never liked him." "You?" " It"s discussable." " Now let me tell you something." "Susan"s ideas are her problem." "I never liked her boyfriends." "It"s a great relief for me." "If we made that clear, let"s go back inside." "It"s not for my age." "I like a man who knows his limits." "But if you"d just like to talk and nothing more, come to my place tomorrow night." "What about Susan?" "Since I can remember Susan goes out every other Friday at 8 P.M. and comes home at 3 A.M." "Hello?" "Lucky, are you fucking with me?" "It"s a really bad joke." "Fuck you!" "Yes?" "Hi, Susan." "Hi!" "Are you coming this evening?" "Where?" "You said you" II come to my place to talk." "How?" "Susan"s having guests." "I told you she goes out every other Friday." "She told me this morning she"s having guests." "I"ve told you a thousand times!" "Never trust a lying woman." " Are you coming?" " L" m coming." " Where did you get this?" " I found it in my mailbox." " What?" "Some cult again?" " What does this mean?" "If I tell you, I"ll have to kill you." "Turn it on, please." "I"m serious." "What do these drawings mean to you?" "You see?" "If you don"t do it yourself, no one will." "Sorry, what did you ask me?" "Do these drawings mean anything to you?" "The great architect baron DeMoressa reconstructed the Kalemegdan Fortress 300 years ago." "We are just exploring his underground passages." "Maybe this is some kind of map?" "Or some of my female students are putting you on?" "No." "This is Jericho." "Do you remember the Bible, the Gospel according to Luke?" "There is this story about Zacheus and Christ"s passing through the city of Jericho." "I can"t quite remember." "Can you remember at least what the Bible is?" "What"s the meaning of all that?" "Jericho, the labyrinth?" " What do I have to do with it?" " Well, you should know it." "Jericho is a symbol of the sinful world, like The Labyrinth in which Jericho is." "There is only one way out of it." "Christ"s arrival to Jericho symbolizes his descent among the sinners, but also a chance for the sinners to redeem themselves." "Just as Zacheus redeemed his soul." " And who was this Arius?" " Arius?" "Arius of Alexandria, a heretic from the early fourth century." "To protect The Church from his teachings the first symbol of faith was established on the Ecumenical Synod in Nicaea." "What does he have to do with us?" "In today"s Sremska Mitrovica there used to be an Arian bishopric." "I believe one or two of those bishops were from these parts, so that here was a great stronghold of Arianism." " What happened to him?" " Arius was banished from the church in the first Ecumenical Synod." "He wasn"t the first of the heretics." "But he was the first who made the church to consolidate itself to resist him." "All those divisions, the schism that happened later, the hatred that kept growing in time, it all sort of started there, with that teaching." "The decisions made in the synod only deepened the divisions." "Just one stone was enough to cause an avalanche." "The seed of Arianism survived to this very day." "You have to understand Thomas." "He sometimes acts like a child." "He saw me with a handsome man." "It was quite enough for him to be annoying." "Where did you get this medallion?" "Memento from my youth." "From whom, if I may ask?" "Quite unimportant." "It was so long ago, that I don"t remember." "Do you know what this drawing means?" "No." "Do you?" "No." "But it is interesting, as if it bears some secret." "Perhaps I am a woman with a secret." "And how could I uncover that secret?" "Would you try to uncover it?" "Maybe I would." "If I knew how to find a way." "Of hundred ways in a labyrinth just one is the right one." "It is better to be persistent." "Hello?" "Hi, honey." "Of course I didn"t forget." "I will come to cure you." "Yes, I have the pills." "Well, in about fifteen minutes." "Bye." "Sorry, I completely forgot to give Thomas some medicines." " All right." "L"m off, then." " No, please don"t." "I"ll be back in half an hour." "Wait for me, please." "You have drinks, newspaper, TV, VCR." "Have fun." "Please." "Perhaps I am a woman with a secret." "You jerk!" "Who let you touch my things?" "I didn"t know I shouldn"t." "You dance nice." " Fuck you!" " I am sorry." "You think you"re so cool?" "I"ve been waiting for you all evening last night." " Let me explain." " Explain it to Susan." "Do you know how many guys like you there are in this city?" "I"m sick of all of you." "Sorry it took me so long." "Thomas is so cute when he is ill." "He is like a child." " I hope you weren"t bored." " I had a lot of fun." "I"ve been watching Russian movies." "I simply don"t know what to do with her." "Did she walk around like this while you"ve been waiting?" " She didn"t, don"t worry." " I wouldn"t be surprised." "Tamara, behave yourself." "Can"t you see we" re not alone?" "I can"t see." "Do we have a guest?" "Tamara!" "Go to your room!" "Put your clothes on!" "Did you understand me?" "!" "I just wanted you to see what you missed." "Are you stalking me?" "What"s this all about?" "Chocolate." " Why are you like this?" " Fuck with someone else!" "Please, forgive me." "I had an unexpected emergency," "I couldn"t possibly come." "Please, I beg you." "I"m a jackass!" "Big jackass!" " Tamara, is everything OK?" " Unfortunately, yes." "Lucky!" "Lucky!" "How do you know Lucky?" " How do you?" " He made a horoscope for Susan." "He told me he didn"t know her." "Funny." "One doesn"t forget such a bitch." "Anyway I like better a gentle ballerina than a teenage girl drinking beer from underground." "The wall is collapsing." "It will fall soon." "We can wait no longer." "I don"t want to rush into a mistake." "You"ve waited ten years to get to know me." "To realize that not all your sins disappeared with Zoran." "The next ten years you"ve waited for this opportunity." "How much more time do you need?" "Another ten years maybe?" "I fear that I"ll ruin what I"ve been waiting for all this time because of a little impatience." "It"s not on you to fear or to think." "You must only consent and obey." "If you succeed in that, and you will, soon you will be in my position." "Only you can continue the bloodline of DeMoressa, because you"re meant to." "As soon as you"re rid of the sin on your soul." "The Lord is guiding you, follow Him." "He"s given you a chance you won"t have again." "I think it"s just a stupid joke from, what"s his name?" "Lucky." "Yes, Lucky." "Did he take you to the spiritual session?" "Horoscopes." "It all becomes such a type." "Why did he say he didn"t know her?" "Maybe he doesn"t." "Who knows how many such customers come to him daily?" "Relax." "Think of yourself." "What are you doing here?" "What do you mean?" "I have been looking for you for days." "I came back yesterday." "Why are you lying?" "I saw you on the street the other day." "Are you angry with me?" "I wanted to ask you why are you sending this to me." "I have no idea what you are talking about." "I"m in a hurry." "My daughter is in the hospital." "What is it?" "Her old sickness got worse." " I must get a cab." " L" II drive you." "Regretfully she is worse." "We" II have to give her blood." "It"s out of the question." "If we don"t do it, we might lose her soon." "I have the right not to allow it." "Lucky, what"s with you?" "Why shouldn"t they give her blood?" "I have my reasons." "Please, persuade him." "If the child doesn"t get blood, she"ll die soon." "Lucky!" "I don"t understand you." "Your child"s life is at stake." "It"s a sin." " What are you talking about?" "You can"t understand it." "It is a great sin." "Come to your senses." "It"s your child we" re talking about." "My religion forbids it." " Your religion?" "What religion could ask of you to sacrifice your child?" "Leave me alone, Preacher!" "It is a sin!" "A sin!" "Hi." "I had to call you." "Never mind." "If you didn"t, I would"ve called you." " When will I see you?" " I can"t today." "Susan is helping me with my German." "I"ll call as soon as I can." "I must go, she"ll hear us." "I can"t help you with your German today." "I have something to do." "You" II be alone all day." " You must learn all this?" " All of it." "I never asked you about your father." "Susan didn"t tell me anything about him." "He died when I was little." "Have you ever heard of Zoran Radosavljevic?" "No." "Who is he?" "My friend from school." "He killed himself when he was 18." "How could I"ve heard of him?" "I wasn"t even born then." "I think that Susan was somehow connected with him." "What made you think of that." "after all these years?" "By chance." "You come here often?" "Once in a while." " When I wish to get away." " From what?" "Eh, from what?" "Why are you treating Susan like that?" "Because she loves Thomas more than me." "Childish jealousy." "She started to hate me because of him." "The two of us never shared much love, but when I was ten Thomas came into our lives." "Since then her behavior towards me keeps getting worse." "Admit you"ve slept with him." "Don"t start again, please." "I know you did it." "Only to spite me." "I told you a thousand times, there"s nothing between us." "Preacher, you must realize that she hates me." "Thomas, please." "If you hadn"t slept with him, something would"ve already happened between him and the girl." "They are together all they long." "How can a mother hate her child?" "What are you doing?" " What"s that?" " A childhood memory." "From my mother." "You know when she did this?" "When?" "When she met him." "I am free to do what I want." "I"ve slept with him and enjoyed it." " Shut up." " I won"t." "What did you do?" "What?" "What did you do?" " What are you thinking about?" " Never mind." "You wouldn"t understand it." "Something about ballet." "Could it be something about America." "How do you know?" " Did she tell you that?" " Never mind her." "I hope that wish comes true." "Why don"t you come with me, then?" "I think we must speed things up." "How do you know nothing happened between them?" "I just know." "If something did happen, she would come to me gloating." "To make me jealous." " Hi." " Was it hard to find me?" "No." "You explained the directions." " You drank cold beer again?" " Yes." "My throat is a bit sore." "What was so urgent that you had to see me at this hour?" "I think that Susan wants to kill me." "Don"t you think you"re exaggerating?" "I"ve heard her discuss it with Thomas." "Why would she want to kill you?" "Because she thinks I"ve slept with you." "But you didn"t." " We had a fight last night." " And?" "I told her that I did." "Why did you tell her that?" "Because I hate her." "All right." "Everything will be OK tomorrow." "It won"t." "She was only looking for a reason." "Preacher, I" m not going back there." "Where will you sleep tonight?" " You don"t think.?" " Yes, I do." "But only for tonight, until you sort something out." "Preacher, you must believe me." " Okay." " Do you believe me?" " I believe you." "Now go to bed." " Where will you sleep?" " Go to bed." "Forgive me, I am a sinner." "Doctor, give her blood." " How is she?" " Better." "God knows if I really helped her." "But I must ask you something." "If something happen to me, I beg you, take care of Sanja until one of our relatives comes." " What could happen to you?" " I have a bad feeling." "I think it"s time for you to explain me some things." "What"s the meaning of those drawings you keep sending me?" " What fucking drawings?" " What"s your connection with Susan Leutes, Zoran and all that nonsense?" "Let"s go somewhere else." "I must admit something to you." "I killed Zoran Radosavljevic." "He got addicted to dope hanging with me." "You went across the border." "We had no money and I persuaded him to rob some old chick." "She wore gold all over herself." "We went into a crisis, broke into her place." "There is nothing here." "Ask grandma where is the money?" "While I was waiting for Zoran to bring the dope," "I got to know his girlfriend Susan." "Did you hear from your friend Preacher from London?" " He is now in Paris." " What is he doing there?" "The same thing as in London." "Cruising casinos." "I"m going to introduce you to my friends, who can help you." "You should just trust us." "I don"t believe myself anymore." "You will believe us more than anyone else." " Why don"t you help Zoran?" " It"s too late for him." "No one can help him anymore." "Right after that Zoran killed himself." "After the burial I saw his girlfriend Susan." "One can not escape God"s laws." "I thought that she was good, that she wanted to help me." "She and her friends supported me while I was getting of dope." "When I succeeded, I was ready to do anything for them." "They taught me how to be happy again, to believe again." "I began a new life, they were the center of the world for me." "They could cure every disease." "They were beside me when my wife left me and took Sanja away." "And why did your wife leave you?" "She couldn"t understand it." "She asked me to choose between her and them." "And when she died and Sanja came back to me, I understood how much I sacrificed for them and not they for me." "You will really sleep in the chair tonight, too?" "You better come sleep with me." "It"s more comfortable." "What"s that got to do with me?" "I wasn"t here." "Susan knew I was in contact with you all the time." "What does she want from me?" "I thought that she just liked you, that she was coming on to you." "Until a few days ago." "Then they told me to leave town." "Then I knew it is something more serious." "They want to eliminate the witness." "Witness to what?" "That"s something you should tell me." "So it wasn"t you who send me those letters?" "What letters?" "Since you came back my only duty was to set up that "accidental" meeting of yours in front of the theatre." "So.?" "Promise you" II take care of Sanja if something happens to me." "What can happen to you?" "I don"t understand anything." "Believe me, they are extremely dangerous." "Who are they?" "Who are they, Lucky?" "!" "I already told you more than I should." "If you" re not coming to me, I"m coming to you." "What"s the matter?" " What"s wrong with me?" " It has nothing to do with you." "Do you really think Susan could hurt you." "We often fight." "But now I am really scared." "Where are you going now?" "I"ll be back soon." "What is it?" "What is it?" "Do you know what time it is?" "Tell me what you want from me." "What happened?" "Are you drunk?" "Don"t play dumb with me." "Lucky told me everything." "Why are you stalking me for years?" "What do you want?" "You are crazy." "I want my child back for a start." "Don"t change the subject." "I ask you plain and simple!" "Why do you keep sending me this?" "If you don"t leave at once, I"m calling the police." "I went to school." "L" II be back at 1 a.m. Tamara." "Tamara!" "Tamara!" "Her class is finished a long time ago." "Tamara Leutes!" "Do you know how old she is?" "I didn"t call you to lecture me." "She is in danger." "I think that you"re in danger." "Not because of the mother, but because of the daughter." "Come on, I didn"t even think of that." "How many times did you not think of that?" "Does this mean nothing to you?" "This room, this portrait.?" "Please, stop helping me." "I"ll manage somehow." "All right." "Try to think of another place she could"ve gone to." "Hello?" "Tamara, is that you?" "What"s going on?" "Hello?" "Where should I come?" "What a surprise." "What brings you here?" "Cut the bullshit." "Where is Tamara?" "We really do have a problem communicating." "I saw in the restaurant that you find me annoying." "Where is she?" "Things are getting serious now." "Does this interest in Tamara run in your family?" "You are an esteemed archeologist If I" m not mistaken." "I think I saw you on the site a hundred yards from here." "Come, let me show you something." "I believe you"ll find this tour especially interesting." "We are not here for a tour of Kalemegdan." "Where is Tamara?" "Patients." "You will soon be together." "What is this?" "No one knows about this." "If you searched more thoroughly you would know about it." " Where does this lead?" " Straight to the labyrinth." "You built a labyrinth bellow Kalemegdan?" "Dear Sir, it was built by St. Photius." "when Belgrade was still an Arianic bishopric." "How is it possible that no one ever found it?" "God took care of that." "And true believers helped Him." "Baron DeMoressa rebuilt it when he reconstructed the fortress." "But that doesn"t appear in DeMoressa"s construction plans." "Of course not." "As a member of the Arianic church he did it in secret, while building the dungeons." "The Arianic church?" "Tamara is waiting." "Follow me." "Straight ahead." "What is this?" "What"s this about?" "Just go ahead." "Soon you" II understand everything." "Stop!" "Where are you going?" "Bro, it"s no use." "Let"s see what"s this all about." "I ask you plain and simple!" "Why do you keep sending me this?" "You thought that your brother would save you again." " Where is Tamara?" " She is safe." "After all, I am her mother." "Fuck you!" "Tell me where she is!" "Please don"t swear in the church." "What church?" "What are you talking about?" "You" re standing at the very entrance of the Arianic church." "The Arianic church?" "Arians disappeared 1600 years ago." "Are you joking?" "We only withdrew away from your lies and hatred to wait for the second coming of the Lord." "Before we start some theological debate, be kind and tell us where Tamara is." "Where is this girl"s father?" "In my life he counts as missing." "If you lead your brother the right way, you"ll find her too." "If only Zoran Radosavljevic had such a brother." "So it was you who killed him." "You are insane!" "You are all crazy!" "What did I do to you?" "I got pregnant because of you!" "The way out of The Labyrinth is the way of purification." "If you find it, you"ll be reborn and we will give you another chance." "Your sin is great, but you"ve made the first step towards redemption." "You" re yet to walk the long road of purification." "Arm yourself with faith and patience." "Don"t think it was easy to resist the temptations all these years while I was waiting for this moment." "It will be easier for you." "You don"t have that much time." "Your only salvation is to find the way out of The Labyrinth." "If you do not find it, the way of your redemption will be the way of distraction." "Brother, I think we"re fucked." "Let"s waste no time." "We came from there, let"s go that way." "Where to now?" "Do you understand these inscriptions?" ""We are united by religion and the alliance."" ""Sin follows sin."" ""Victims of the intellect." " Does it have another meaning?" " I know as much as you." "What are you doing?" "Let"s go that way." "How do you know that"s the right way?" " A gambler"s instinct." " A gambler"s instinct?" "What does it say?" ""I always look at God, or, "Till God"s glance."" "So I chose well?" "There are seven sections here." "Seven rooms we have to go through." ""Prima porta was there." "We came from there, but this right hallway is not marked." "It may be that only the correct turns are indicated here." "So, let"s go left." "We are here." "That means we should go that way." "What does that say?" ""Lust."" "Your lust will cost you your life." "I didn"t even look at Tamara in such a manner." "You are lying." "I know what you did to me twenty years ago." "What are you saying?" "We only met a few days ago." "That"s what you think." "I"m Susan." "I"m Preacher." "Don"t." "Don"t!" "I didn"t rape you." "That"s impossible." "Yes, you did." "That"s why you ran away abroad a month later." "Why do I need an alibi?" "There must have been a reason for you to leave Belgrade." "I only remember I went to Zoran"s for some money." "We were so drunk that I remember nothing." "But I do remember." "Month and a half later I realized that I was pregnant." "From that moment on I went through hell." "For nine months I felt a filthy bastard of sin growing in me." " And it wasn"t my fault." " You"re lying!" "You made it all up!" "Tell me what you want of me!" "Why are you setting me up?" "You are crazy!" "Tamara cannot be my daughter!" "What does that say?" ""Lust."" "According to this sign you might be right." ""Stinginess." "According to this we should follow the right corridor." "Something is wrong here." ""Rage."" "Lust, stinginess, rage." "The seven mortal sins." "That"s it." "This is the wrong way, I am sure of it." " Your gambler"s instinct failed." " Are you sure?" "Do you remember the inscription on the big intersection?" "No, something in Latin." ""Sin follows sin."" "On every intersection appears a different sin, one after another." "This can"t be the right way." "Let"s hurry back!" " This way?" " No!" "Look up there!" " We came from there." " Are you sure?" "Which way now?" " Left, I think." " Wait." "We should go right." "Your gambler"s instinct again?" "Not an instinct, but a passion." "Of a smoker." "And they say smoking is hazardous for health." "Let"s go this way." "We came from there." ""Porta Prima", the first door." "We were there." ""Sin follows sin." It was the wrong way." "The solution is in these inscriptions." "We have not much time, brother." "Our lantern will go out." "Give me some light here." " What are those papers?" " Those are Susan"s letters." "You remember I showed them to you?" "Yes." "Look in the middle." "FAS. "God"s law."" "Every inscription begins with a capital letter." ""F, "A, "S. FAS." "Right." "But what is the key?" "We should start from the beginning." "First, "F." "Come on." "FAS" " God"s right." "We" re on the right way." "You slept with your daughter!" "Wait." "How do we know this is the right way?" "Now we have the chance to catch the bitch." " To make her show us the way." " Or to get lost forever." "We must follow the marks." "Come on." "A hundred times I wanted to kill the evil in my womb." "But only God has the right to give and to take life away." " Did God kill Zoran, too?" " Who else?" "Zoran also had his chance to find the way out of The Labyrinth, to redeem himself and be born again." "But God was on the side of my revenge." "Revenge is the God"s sword, which purifies my sin." "I"ve been waiting for that revenge for twenty years." "When the seance moves ahead, let the spirit of Zoran Radosavljevic speak through you." "Let him say he didn"t commit suicide, that he was murdered by Susan Leutes, 24 Smiljaniceva Street." "Only God can be your judge and mine." "The labyrinth of truth and purification is ahead of you." "In one of its corridors, which leads towards the exit," "Tamara will be waiting for you." "Hurry up." "The big flood will destroy the world, sunken into the sin of this world." "Hurry up." "Stop." "She"s trying to lure us on the wrong way." "Let"s see what the inscription says." "According to this, we should go this way." "Let"s go." "This mark shows that we should go right." "Are you sure it is not a deception?" "It"s not a mark." "It is a monogram from Arius" time." "It is the combination of two Greek letters: "chi and "rho." "Those are the initials of Christ"s name." "The legend says this mark origins from a dream of the emperor Constantine the day before of a battle." "He was to put this mark on the shields of his soldiers as a sign of God"s protection." "He did it and won the battle." "Yes, but here it is not bent like the letter "R"." "I know, but you see how it"s bending." "On the second intersection it is closing even more." "When it"s fully closed, it means we found it." "Christ the Savior." "It would mean we" re under His full protection." "We are on the right way." "The moment of our redemption is near." "I"m going to finish the girl and I"ll be right back." "You are not coming back." "You have a lot to do." " And you?" " My mission is done." " What"s with the others?" " They are all taken care of." "They"ll join you when the time comes." "What?" "Do you want to tell me something?" "Preacher!" "Preacher!" "Tamara!" "We are coming!" "Don"t be afraid!" "Louder, louder!" "You can scream all you want, he can"t hear you." "He is now deep in The Labyrinth." "There is no way out for either of you." " You are too sinful." " Please, mom." "Everything will be as you say." "Nothing can be as it was." "You slept with your father." "With whom?" "Tamara!" "Tamara!" "I didn"t sleep with him." "I didn"t sleep with him." "You are crazy!" "You are lying!" "You told me yourself!" "I swear, I only wanted to make you angry." "I didn"t sleep with him." "I regret I lied to you, mom." "Don"t call me that." "And don"t lie to me!" "Preacher!" "Tamara!" "A childhood memory." "From my mother." "That"s what she thought when she spoke about the flood." "Let"s hurry." "She is going to flood The Labyrinth." ""The time will erase everything that"s false."" ""The greatest right is often the greatest injustice."" "F.A.S. We passed the "F." ""A - "Ad vitam aeternam." To the eternal life." "Let"s go down." "It think it"s a trap." "The water must be deeper down there." "We should take this upper corridor." "We must follow the rules." "Fuck this professor"s logic of yours!" "We should stick to the instincts here." " Your gambler"s instinct?" " Call it what you want." "The reason tells us to go up there!" "We" II take this one down here." ""The soul is always visible to God."" "This is obviously some scheme." "It"s not the labyrinth, but it resembles it." "It is a closed area with passages." "I don"t understand anything." " We have this sentence up there, but when you are following the passages." "It is the same." "That"s it." "It means we just have to follow the passages." ""The soul is visible to God." That"s it." " We go this way." " Let"s go." "I"m done." "In a few minutes everything will collapse and there will be nothing left of The Labyrinth." "It"s time for us to go." "I am staying." "If you are ready, you should go." "Don"t be pathetic, please." "Yes." "I still have a lot to do." "We are going down." "This must be the wrong way." "This way." "What is it?" "Why did you stop?" "I told you it was a trap." "Let"s go back." "Maybe we still have time if we hurry up." " Do you hear me?" " We are not going back." "Are you crazy?" " We"ll go forward." " The corridor is under water." "Let"s go." "Draw a card." "Red or black?" "For God"s sake, brother, come with me." "Give me your hand." " How did you know?" " I didn"t know." "I believed." "FAS." "Look." "It"s read the same in every direction." "But it is not lined up as it was till now, after the letters of the word FAS." "Now it is F.S.A." "Right." "Everything"s upside down." "We passed the "F. We passed the "A." "Now we should follow the "S, that means straight ahead." " Let"s go." " But look. "Porta prima"." ""The first door." We came in through it." "Look at the lines in a circle." "They are forming as we go." "First there was one line, than the second one and now the third one." "If we go straight ahead, we won"t finish the sign of the cross in the circle." "So we should go right." "But why is it not the letter "S?" ""Arius vivus."" "Look at the golden letters forming the cross." "We should follow the path of Arius." "That"s it." "We go right." "Tamara!" "We must go out now!" "He is going to flood The Labyrinth!" "Where is the way out of here!" "Tell me!" "I"ve found my way." "For you it is too late." "Let"s go!" "We are going to drown." "We" re going back to the church." "That is the only way out." "Where the water came from." "Let"s go." "Wait for me here." "Here is the passage to the church." "It is fully under water." "We" II dive towards the light and stay together." "Come on."
