" In every profession one is an apprentice for a while." "In our business apprenticeship lasts at least ten years." "Get it?" "Let's repeat." " First I take out the electricity." "Be precise!" "We open the conduit and disconnect the electricity." "That's what I meant." " OK." "Tools?" " Pliers, tin foil, slip joint pliers, Olfa cutter..." "Got them all." "Sergej, we're professionals and we have to act accordingly." "Get it?" "Because business..." " I know, business is business." "Good work!" "I'll take a look around the house." "Fuck..." "Peed in your pants, didn't you?" "Come on, they forgot to close the cellar window." "Holy crap, these people are loaded!" "Of course they are, they were in power for fifty years!" "Hey, you know what we came for." "Leave the rest alone, get it?" "We are only going to steal what they stole, OK?" "Go on, get moving." "We're not sticking around for breakfast." "WE HAVE THE PAINTING, DON'T CALL THE POLICE, WE'LL CALL YOU" "Shit!" "Hey, what's taking you so long?" "Let's move!" "Yeah, I'm coming..." "OK, we'll meet at my place in an hour." "Exactly one hour." " Sure." "I'll take this." "The Church is also responsible for the post-war massacres, as the bishop blessed these soldiers and supported them..." "Magda!" "... in their treason and death." "The Catholic Church inflamed hatred, collaborated with the enemy, even fought on their side." "Since when do you lock the door?" " Since you've started being late." "I've been calling for two days but you don't answer." "Smells good..." " If you failed to show up even today," "I'd throw everything away." " I couldn't make it yesterday." "I got a telegram, my mother nearly had a heart attack." "I forgot my phone at Polde's, and that's my only phone." "You could have called me from your friend Damjan's place." "You know how worried I was?" " As soon as I got the news," "I hopped on the bus." "Can't you understand that?" "Your mother should be dead ten times over, she had so many brushes with heart attacks already." "What, you don't believe me?" "I don't know..." "Take your jacket off." "Listen..." " Yeah?" "What is it!" "?" " Damn this stove, it gave me a shock again." "When are you going to fix it?" " I'll fix it." " Yeah, right." "Heard that a thousand times." "You guys fix other people's stoves, but nothing works at home." "Sergej..." "Does this make any sense at all?" " Lf what does?" "You live on your own..." "In your flat..." "And I'm here alone..." "We really could live together." "What do you think?" "Did you hear me?" "So, what do you think?" " Yeah." "C'mon take your jacket off." "Alright, let's talk." "But not today." "I mean, not now." "When I get back, in about an hour." "What about supper?" "!" "I have to go to the workshop." " You are just going to leave?" "No, listen, we have to talk." " Not now, boss is waiting for me."

"I had to stop at the pharmacy to get pills for Magda, she's ill." "I don't like it when you're late." "But the painting is here, everything's OK." " Yeah." "What, Polde, don't you trust me?" " Of course I do." "But what we're doing is dangerous, get it?" "But so far nobody called the police." "They're not stupid." "Who'd want everybody to find out that they have the paintings stolen from the National Gallery after the war?" "So far everybody paid." "Landscape No. 2." "How much will we get?" " It's a very valuable painting." "Priceless for the nation, our cultural identity, get it?" "Alright, how much, boss?" " I'll demand 10.000." "They have enough money, why shouldn't they give us some, eh?" "And we give back the painting." "Fair?" "I think it's fair." "What if he refuses?" " Don't worry." "The General took his grandkids skiing, they'll be back tonight." "I'll give him a ring first thing in the morning, why torture him." "Let's go upstairs." "Mara cooked something for us."

" Have work all day tomorrow." "They recommend me now." "And I go, why not, work be business." " Work be business!" "Why you laugh?" "I just must work." "They have a fine, fine house." "All polished floor, no felt, everything stone." "Not stone." "How you say?" "Marple?" " Marble!" "Yes, OK, marble." "They have pool, not out, in." "Move, kid, move." "Right." "You come, left through kitchen, everything be glass." "They have big picture, very big picture everywhere." "And when you go up..." "Third door to right, a big picture of Mary over bed." "Well, I go now." "Ruzica..." " I work all day tomorrow." "Gotta clean house for that general or marshal, whatever..." "Bye, bye." " Bye." "Goodbye..." " Bye..." "Ruzica...!" " Ciao!" "Now I know where you get your information." "Ruzica, right?" "You don't have to know everything." "Right, boss." "Bye." "Sergej!" " Yeah?" "You know, Magda..." "Magda is a fine girl." "Hang on to her, will you?" " Yeah." "Well, look who it is!" "I was just thinking about you." "And do you know what I was up to while I was thinking of you?" "Wait..." "Wait, will you..." "Wait!" "He's here." "I'm hungry." " Me too." "And tired." " So?" "I'm not!" "You're nuts." " While your parents are gone, we have to enjoy every minute." " They'll be gone the whole night, and the whole day." " Is that all?" "In that case we really have no time to waste." "Stop, stop it!" "I'll just go and get some food." "When was the last time we saw each other?" "Ages ago." "Sit." "How are you?" "Stop staring at me, tell me how you are!" "I'm well, mister general." " I was never a mister!" "I was a general and a miner before that." "Plain old coal digger." "Comrade coal digger." "Do you understand?" " I understand, comrade." "Do you know what I have here?" "A plastic urine bag." "I piss in a bag." "I don't even pee by myself anymore." "I have a tube stuck up my cock." "In the forest the researchers dug up an abyss, that supposedly contains hundreds of post-war massacre victims." "Similar grave are being discovered all over Europe, where after the war the quislings and collaborators were buried." "The crimes of the victors are being exposed, the bones of traitors executed without trials unearthed, senseless vengeance in the first days of peace brought to light." "The united Europe is obviously full of hidden grave sites, where the victims of the post-war euphoria lie buried." "The history of Europe should finally be resolved." "Jasna!" "I'm waiting for you." "We both are." "Don't be daft, let's go to the store." "Let's get down to business." "They broke into my house and stole a precious painting." "Oil on canvas." "I've had it for fifty years, a nice souvenir." "And now they're blackmailing me, they want ten grand." "They also stole some money, but that's not important." "They stole something far more significant." "A document." "If it's ever made public they will know who gave the order to execute the traitors in 1945." "Take this." "It's a list of everyone who could know about the painting." "Find the bastards, get the painting and the document." "The document is important!" "Destroy it!" "Cover your tracks." "Understand?" "Let's wrap this up." "The list also contains the gardener, but he has never set his foot into the house, and Ruzica, the cleaning lady." "Her address is also there, so the task should not prove too difficult." "Go now." "Mommy..." "I'll show you mommy!" "Have you ever done it in a supermarket?" "Me neither." "What are you doing?" "I'm having a lick." "And you?" "What's up, honey?" "Good evening!" " Evening..." "Should anything happen to me..." "Leave everything." "Who gives a fuck." "Somebody's calling, it says Magda." "Hi, Magda." "What?" "!" "Oh no, not again..." "Yeah." "Right." "Thanks for calling." "Look..." "Give her the pills." "Mom will tell you where to find them." "Yeah." "Right." "Yeah." "Bye." "Damn it." "I have to go and see my mother in the morning." "She is sick again, she just had one of her seizures." "Don't you have an exam tomorrow?" " Yeah." "But I'll ask my professor if I can come some other time, that shouldn't be a problem." "Anyway, it's easy - economics." "When will I see you again?" "I'll spend some time with mom, there is no phone signal there." "Magda, her neighbour, called from the valley when she went to work." "Do you love me?" "In the morning I have work all day, gotta clean for president, or what he be, the whole house." "Good night, neighbour." "Ruzica..." " Goodbye." "Goodbye." " Bye..." " Do you like Ruzica?" "Hi!" "My mom had a seizure again, you know." " I called you." "Don't you start..." "My battery was dead." "I forgot my charger at home..." "What, you're pissed that I was at my mother's, or what?" "!" "I'm sorry, I really am." "I had nowhere to call you from." "You know, my mother is really ill." "Polde went with me, he drove me home." " When?" "At this very moment, he dropped me off outside." "Polde hung himself tonight!" "Sergej..." "Bastard!" "He promised he'd buy me a motorbike." "He didn't keep his promise." "Come... wo'shop..." " What is it, Igor?" "Come, come..." " No, I can't." "Come!" " Where?" "I can't." "Igor...!" "Why!" "?" "Home sweet home!" "What's up with you?" "You're as pale as a geisha." "Give me my keys." " You could be more friendly." "All I'm good for is watering your plants while you chase pussy." "Come on in, will you, I'll make you some tea." "That really is very unpleasant." "I mean, unpleasant for Polde." "I wasn't there when he needed me." "You were at Jasna's, right?" "When your friend hung himself." "Stop fucking around." " Magda kept calling, too, asking if I saw you." "If she knew how quickly you'd dump her!" "Same goes for Jasna." "Fortunately she studies in Venice, so she can't see what a "successful student" you are." "You are a student now, aren't you?" "Or aren't you?" "When will you figure it out that women are no good for you?" "Do you have a black suit I could borrow?" " Of course I do!" "If you need anything, just ask Damjan." "If you can't solve a crossword puzzle, he'll help." "Damjan knows it all, history, politics, cooking tea..." "He can also lend money, can't he?" "The only thing is I don't know how you'll return these favours." "Wait a sec." "I have something important to show you." "Sit here and wait." "Peekaboo!" "Isn't he cute?" "He looks just like you." "You know what?" "I'll hang him in the bedroom, so when I won't be able to sleep, I'll think of him." "There you go, I managed to cheer you up after all." "Our Lord, you answer all who call out to you." "We also call out to you in these dark times." "Show us the power of your love, more powerful than death." "In the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord..." " Amen." "Let him rest in peace." " May eternal light shine upon him." "Rest in peace." " Amen." "In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit..." "Where is Ruzica?" " I don't know, I knocked, but nobody answered." "He was a good father and husband." "May this unfortunate man nevertheless be taken into the Kingdom of our Lord." "Our Lord, let this man rest in peace." "Jasna, my mother's neighbour." "Probably something is wrong with my mother again." "Go on upstairs." "I'll be right up." "Se'gej!" "Play..." " Where?" "Play here..." " Play?" "Play what?" "What?" "There, play." "Igor, you saw something?" " Yeah." " What did you see?" "Sergej, the police would like to talk to you." " Good evening." "I'm inspector Lavrencic, this is inspector Novak." "A couple of routine questions." " Sure." "Igor and I will wait upstairs, OK?" "You worked with the deceased?" " Yeah." "I mean, I worked for Polde." "We have heard that you were also good friends." " That's right." "This friend of yours had to be very athletic to hang himself like this." "Did you help him out, by any chance?" "Did your boss have any problems lately?" " No, not that I know of." "Damn it, tell me what you guys really did!" " We..." " Tell him." "You're talking to him." " We fixed broken household utilities." "Fairy tales." " You want to tell me that you bought an apartment after just three years of fixing household appliances?" " Yes, no..." "Polde..." "The boss lent me the money." "We know, you bought a flat on Pristinska road." "We know it all." "Yes, I live there." " Sure you do." "We've been interested in this business of yours for a while." "Do you find this strange?" " I don't get it." "What does this note mean?" " Which note?" "The one you've been looking at!" " Tomorrow, painting, call." "What does it mean?" " I have no idea." "Really?" "What were you looking for in the drawers?" "What!" "?" "Leave him alone, we'll do this some other time, he's in shock." "You're in shock, right?" " You know how shocked he'll be when I finish with him?" " I told you he was in shock." "See you." "I know your kind." "Just another question..." "Do you know Ruzica?" "Yeah." " When was the last time you saw her?" "I don't know, a few days ago." " Really?" "Yeah?" " Good evening." " Good evening." "Ruzica told me that I could talk to you, that you fix..." " Ruzica!" "Sure, come on in." "Interesting things you've got here, antiques, right?" "That's my hobby, I'm a collector." " What about paintings?" "Do you also collect paintings?" "I bought this painting..." "No..." "What the...!" "Where is it?" " What?" "The document." " What document?" "You tell me." "I have no idea..." "OK..." "I bought the painting." "Have you read it carefully?" " I really don't understand!" "OK, we stole the painting..." " We?" "No, it was just me." " Who else?" " No, no one." "I was alone." "Get it?" "I don't know anything about any document." "Very well." "Where is the document and who else has seen it?" "Come on, wake up!" "Lgor..." "Where is my Igor..." "Everything will be OK." "Come on, get up." "Igor..." "Where is Igor..." "My son..." " You just tell me where the document is, and we're done." "Where is it?" "The document?" "Your partner has it, right?" " Sergej..." "Sergej?" "There you go." "What did the police want?" " Nothing." "They also asked me questions." " What did you tell them?" "Nothing." "Just that the two of you got called out a lot." "You're so stupid." "Hey, look, we have to buy a new stove." "The old one will electrocute me one of these days." "What's wrong with you?" "I'm being followed." " You're just tired." "Come on, let's go home." "Come on in, will you?" "I'll make us some tea." "And you make a fire." "NEW POST-WAR MASSACRE GRAVE SITES" "Magda..." " Yeah?" "If I told you..." "I mean..." "I mean, if I told you..." "That I..." "That it was because of me..." "You mustn't blame yourself!" "I saw a doctor, you know..." "Are you asleep?" "What time is it?" "I'll be late!" "I have to be at work at eight!" "Why didn't you wake me?" "These papers..." " Where are my stockings?" "This is why they killed him." " I'll be late." "These papers..." "They killed Polde." "Because of these papers." "What are you talking about, you're crazy." "No one got killed." "Look at me." "Your best friend hung himself." "You're in shock, anyone would be." "I'm not indifferent either, but you're losing it completely." "Please, pull yourself together." "I've got to go." "Get some sleep, everything will be OK." "I'll visit Damjan, maybe he'll figure something out." "Fine, we'll talk in the evening." "So Rupnik and his executioners swore their allegiance to Hitler, swore before God to serve him faithfully and without questions and assist him in his crimes until the very end." "Bishop Rozman blessed these traitors and their crimes." "I'm looking for Damjan." "...and led the Slovenian nation down the path of fascism." "Those responsible for the suffering of our people, for the torture and death in concentration camps, for the executions and the burning of our homes..." "Are you nuts!" "You almost gave me a heart attack." "I brought you something." " What are you doing here?" "Cutie, these are the archives." "Archives, you know?" "Where we keep documents, you know, stuff that you can read." "Stop screwing around." " Lf I understand correctly, you haven't been to your lovely home yet." " No." "You were at Magda's, right?" " That's not important right now." "You look a bit tired, probably you toiled away all night." "Stop fucking around." "Look at this." "A surprise is waiting for you at home." "Jasna!" "Jasna..." "Yeah, I gave her the keys." "And I told her to water the plants instead of me." " Fuck..." "She's taking you to their holiday house in the forest." "Damn, if I only remember the wild parties we had there..." "Don't call her!" " Why not?" "It's supposed to be a surprise!" "And she has something very nice to tell you." "What?" "Is it crap?" "The stamps are genuine." "It's not a forgery." "Where did you get this?" "You have no idea what this is, have you?" "This is awesome, I can't believe it!" "When this goes public..." "Now it's finally clear who ordered all the traitors to be executed after the war." "I hope it's genuine." "We can check this immediately." "I need to fetch a book." " Is this document dangerous?" "It is very dangerous for some." "But others would be ecstatic if they could lay their hands on it." "We'd have a miniature civil war again." "A packet of 57's." "Miss!" "Miss." "A pack of 57's!" " Just a second." "THE DEATH OF A GENERAL - THE END OF AN ERA" "Sir!" "Your cigarettes, sir!" "Are you coming with me?" "Yeah." "But leave your phone behind." "I'm pregnant." "Are you OK?" " Yeah, I'm fine." "Look, I'll tell the boss I'll fill in for you, OK?" "No, it's OK, I can do it." " No way, you're going home." "Let Sergej take care of you." "When I'm finished I'll come to see you, OK?" "Hey, Sergej!" "Can you do me a favour?" "Phone Magda and tell her that I received a telegram." " That your mother had a stroke, I know." "And that I'll be back in a couple of days." "Hey!" "Where's the document?" "Give me the document!" " Bye, Damjan!" "The document!" "Those terrible events in the Slovenian history and the events during and after World War II resulted in thousands of martyrs who proved their religion and love for their country with their own blood and death." "Good day." "I'm looking for Sergej." "I'm his uncle, I've just arrived." "You must be his fiancee." "Uncle?" "He never told me he had an uncle." "But he talked about you a lot." "This is for you." "He told you that, too?" "Thank you." "Do you want to come in?" "Sure, thank you." "Sergej is not here at the moment." "Have you been at his place on Pristinska Road?" " Yeah." "Oh, right." "In the morning he said he was going to see his friend," "Damjan, his neighbour." "Probably that's why you missed him." "Wait, I'll call him." " Don't, I'd like to surprise him." "You can wait for him, he should be back any minute." "Can I take your coat?" " Yes, thank you." "Sit down, please." " Thank you very much." "Sergej is not very well at the moment, you know." "A very good friend of his died." "Polde was like a father to him." "That's terrible." "I mean, when you lose your father." "He's completely beside himself." "And he found some old papers." "What sort of papers?" "I don't know, some strange army stuff." "That's why he went to see Damjan." "Damjan knows about such things." "He works at the Institute." "I talk too much..." "Would you like some tea?" "You have a nice flat." " Yeah..." "But I'll have to leave soon." "They're selling the whole house." "It was confiscated after the war, for the owner was a collaborator." "They thought he was executed as a traitor after the war." "Then he suddenly returned from Argentina and got it all back." "And now he's selling it." "Fortunately Sergej has a flat, this way we at least won't end up on the streets." "But I'll miss the old part of the city." "Where Sergej lives there are just apartment blocks." "But here it's nice, old streets, the castle..." "I'll miss..." "Magda..." "Magda, pick it up." "If you don't answer, I'll be really upset." "Finally." "Magda?" "I have a nice surprise for you." "Hello?" "Hello?" "Is this a wrong number?" "Oh, good, I thought it was a wrong number." "And who are you?" "Oh, his uncle!" "No, Sergej hasn't mentioned that he was expecting you." "Don't tell me something really happened to his mother." "I told him a thousand times he should stop saying..." "Oh, thank god." "So, Magda is not there?" "When will she be back?" "Can you tell her that Sergej can't come?" "Not today, nor tomorrow." "Oh, I forgot to introduce myself." "I'm Damjan, his neighbour and friend." "No, no problem." "Of course, you can leave your things over here, in Sergej's flat, I have the key, he always leaves the key with me, we're best friends." "Do you have the address?" "Yes, Pristinska Street 10." "The same floor, the flat next door." "I'm expecting you." "Where are you taking me?" " You'll see..." "And what are we going to do there?" "We'll contemplate." " Just contemplate?" "I can't believe it." "Look at what he did, this guy is a psychopath." "I can't believe it." " I promised her I'd see her after work, and now this..." " This can't be happening." "Fuck this, I can't believe it." "We haven't found the murder weapon yet." "Which means it's not over yet." "What is it?" " The stove is not grounded." "It gave me a shock." "He hid this behind the stove." " Sergej?" "Sergej, I'm sure." "He unlocked the door, there is no sign of a forced entry." "What a time for this to happen..." " What do you mean?" "She was pregnant." "God damn it, even back in the workshop I knew he was a psycho." "When I get him..." "I'll..." " Stop it." "Are there any bears around here?" "And mommy bears." "Wait..." "What's that?" "A cave of some sorts." "It looks like a graveyard." "Hunters used to throw carcasses in there, but now they found some skeletons." " What skeletons?" "Here, our cottage is just behind this bend." "You must be Sergej's uncle." "I am." " Can I take your coat?" "I won't be long." " Go ahead, sit down, make yourself comfortable." "I'll just get dressed." "OPEN GRAVES" "Are you researching something?" " Yeah." "You have a lot of books, especially on history." "We have a lot in common." "Has Sergej told you about me?" " No, he has never mentioned you." "Don't tell me it was you who gave him..." " What?" " Those documents." "Have you seen them?" " Of course I saw them." "Do you have them here?" " Sergej took them with him, but he doesn't know what they are." "All he's interested in now is Jasna, his new girlfriend." "They went to her holiday house, that's why he wasn't at Magda's." " I need to see him urgently." "No problem, I can show you where they went." "The parties we had there..." "But, about the documents..." "I need to drop off something in Sergej's apartment." "Would you come with me?" "Gladly." "I'll make us some coffee, OK?" "Jasna..." " Yeah?" "I love you." "I told you, I told you he was a psychopath." "Magda was also killed with this knife." " I'm sure she was." "The neighbours say they were good friends." " Some friends." "First he kills his girlfriend, then he kills his boyfriend." "Fucking degenerate..." "We found this next to his body." " Check his recent calls." "Last outgoing call..." "Jasna." "Jasna." "There, that is his next victim." "I know his kind, he won't stop." "Locate the code, triangulate the call." "Inform everybody and call the SWAT team." "Boris." " What?" "What about the painting?" "Fuck the painting." "Jasna!" "Jasna!" "Where is Jasna?" " It's too strong." "You're not with the police." "What did you do to Jasna?" "Sergej, Sergej..." "You betrayed your friend, he loved you like a son." "I had a hard time hanging him." " Fuck..." "It was you!" "I knew it..." "What do you want from me?" "There!" "Take this!" "Magda..." "She waited for you, but you never showed up." "She fought." "She didn't want to die." "Of course not, she was pregnant!" "And you betrayed that faggot, too!" "He'd do anything for you!" "You betrayed them all!" "What?" "!" "What the fuck do you want from me!" "?" "I don't have anything to do with this!" "I'm sorry I saw those fucking documents!" "I'm sorry you kept killing each other." "Do you know when I was born?" "!" "Leave me alone!" "It's you who's dead!" "Fuck..." "Everybody's fucking dead..." "Magda." "Jasna." "I just want to live." "Freeze!" "It's the Police!" "Don't move, everything will be OK!" "Show your hands!" "Everything will be OK, calm down." "Don't move, be calm!" "LANDSCAPE No. 2"
