"No one felt sorry." "Something must have happened, they're gathering." "If we knew what it was, it would be great." "What's wrong, are you sick?" "What's wrong professor, what's going on there?" "Maybe you will start a revolution?" "Well, if this moves on, it won't be pretty." "They'II even turn the people against their selves." " How should we know what's going on out there."

"Same, same date, paid merchandise and over some company hired like a sponsor." " That must be a mistake it the paperwork." " This could be some fucking mess, my friend." "You'll find out a lot, only if you look a bit deeper." "Why do you think I should believe in that story?" "You know Dragan started playing with the white stuff back then." "Please Jova, here's the watch, the necklace, anything, just give me, give me one more time." "Here, I won't ask it from you anymore." "I swear." " This is your last time." "Take this, don't come again." "These aren't normal crises anymore." "When I get one, I see a picture of a friend we screwed up." "We got some fool to kill him, but a fool is a fool, so he shot him." "I'm going to the toilet." "Fucking shit." "Who is this guy?" "What's wrong fellow, what is it?" " Everything's fine, don't worry, he' mine." "Which one?" " The first one next to the bar." "Don't believe me?" "I'll continue." " Why are you telling me this now?" " Do I look like I'm on vacation here?" "Some punks called the cops, broke in my flat, found drugs and the end." "What about him?" " You know who's his father?" "The cops won't go to prison and ask questions about him." "They kicked him out of a madhouse." "Which one, where, nobody knows." "Would you repeat this story in front of my lawyer?" "Yes." "I don't care." "The can kill me if I do that, they'II do me a favor." "Shorten my troubles, when I don't have the balls to do it myself." "Well, why are you so sure that junky isn't lying you?" " Impossible old man, he told me some details only Dragan and I knew." "So what now?" " This afternoon, my lawyer is coming." "Well we've got nothing to think about." "I'm sending papers tomorrow to reopen the process." "If this is all true, if that guy will appear at court, I'II..." "Well, I won't promise anything, but I think we'll get a nice amount of cash for all the days spent here." "Of course, that won't be enough for all the things you survived, but I'II..." "Oh, I won't talk anymore." "I'm moving to action." "Nurse!" "Nurse!" "Nurse!" "Nurse!" "What is it, what happened?" " Help me, I can't stand him anymore." " Oh, what am I going to do?" "Oh my friend, one Morfy." "That will ease your pains and you'II hold on till morning, when doctor comes." "Mirjana, come on, they showed the actors, it's starting." "Quick, come on." " Oh just two minutes, to give him the injection." "Alright." "Come on." "Thank you." "Hallo, yes it's me." "Who could have known that idiot would appear there." "Yes, he's here, hold on." "He wants to say hello." " Yes, hallo." "Yes it's me." "Don't worry friends." "No, everything will be fine." "Trust me, we'II do our best to cover it up." "I guarantee you with my life, that this won't go out these walls." "Take it away." "Well, was it fixed or has she accidentally forgotten, who'II know." "It doesn't matter." "The last straw I could grab on, disappeared." "I know it sound pathetic, but I must say it anyway." "Shit happens, and that's it." "Neither of us can do anything about it." "I know." "Fucking hope screwed me up." "Whenever it appeared in my life, I failed." "And again, I believed it." "Hey, it would happen to anyone if they were on your place." "I know that, I'm worried by something else." "It looks like I thought that, in this fucking, screwed up life, something nice could happen." " Fuck it." "What did you say?" " What you heard." "And if you don't hurry up, you'll get a postcard from some sunny places." "All pipes join in one, which ends at the river." "It seems it has become a custom, to go and not say good-bye to your friends." "That really isn't nice." "It really offends me when act like that." "Call everyone available in my office." "Now!" " Understood!" "Go to the building's entrance." "If they start coming out, call." "The rest of you, follow me." "I didn't call you about last night, but for something bigger." "Because of the politic situation in the country in all prison facilities should start the martial law, dash, Federal secretary of the police." "I think I don't have to explain what that means." "Take it away, come on." "Get in fast." "You, go to the window, you go to the door." "You stand aside, don't be afraid." "Nothing is going to happen to you." "Climb up, climb up." "We've got twelve hostages with us." "Three of your men." "If you don't do what we say, we'II start killing them, one by one, and throw them off the roof." "You must tell us what you want, and we'll see what we can do." "What our three men?" " The three new guards." "We won't talk to you, bastard." "We want someone who'll guarantee us we'II get what we want." "If no one comes till afternoon, we'II do what we said." "What are we going to do boss?" " What do I know." "You think I'd stare like this if I knew." "If it weren't for our assholes up there, I'd handle their hostage problem." "You finished writing?" " Yes." "Let me see." "Fine." "Give me a needle." "We'II throw them this, as a warning, if they try something." "But fellow secretary, I was powerless about it." "Because they were already on the roof when we got out." "Yes, I see." "We can't do anything, they've got our three men." "All clear." "Understood!" "No way, not me." " What have you said." "No." "No." " Oh, you don't want ha, you motherfucker?" "Sit down." "Faster." "Here they are." "Where are they?" " Up there." "Can we approach them somehow, without them spotting us?" "No." "You can only go through the door, over the roof." "And there's no chance they won't see you." "Boskovic, that wasn't our agreement." "As far as I remember, we didn't want the police here." " The one you asked sent you them." "I just did what you asked me to do." "What's going on?" " Watch, the cops are setting their positions." "Open wide, they may approach too close." "So what now?" " Give me the bag." "Here's a small gift, just so you don't think we're joking." "If you don't call of the cops immediately, we've got nothing to talk about." "Well, what is this?" "Who called the police here?" "Fellow secretary we were..." "What fellow secretary, what?" "I asked you who allowed you to get them here?" "They aren't cattle, they're people." "You'll face the consequences, only you." "May I have your attention." "Do you here me up there?" "We hear!" "I'm Milan Rajic, deputy of the Federal police secretary." "Well, my friends, what is this?" "What's going on?" "Have we really got in the position to threaten and and blackmail each other." "If there is a problem, we're here." "We'II solve them." " We've learned those sentences by smart." "We hear them every year, just from other." "People." "If the promised was done at least once, we would talk like this now." "I was told you have certain demands." "I'm listening." "If you're here to talk like men, why did you bring these cops with you?" "Can we approach them?" " No, not without them seeing us." " No chance?" "No." " Retreat all the people." "Falcon, come back." "Falcon come back, over." "Falcon received, understood." "There, you see we can agree." "If we wanted, we could shoot." "And I think we can solve this like men." "Not like animals." "Understood, my friend?" " Understood, friend." "But our two friend were killed on the most brutal way." "We're asking to burry them the way it really must." "And to accuse that bastard beside you for what he has done." "My friend, those people were fugitives who killed a legal law organ." "How should they be treated?" " But they shouldn't be shot with 10 kilos of lead." "Their own mother can't recognize them." "I think it would be smart if we'd finish this." "Let the hostages go and it'II be like nothing happened." "You sign us that everything'II be as we agreed, and we'II do what we promised right away." "Here's the paper where it all says." "Take this up there." "Untie those two." "It's over." "Give it over here, give it." "You want some?" "How does this work?" "Attention, comrade Rajic will say a few words." "Fellow prisoners, negative elements that want to mine the security of our socialistic community, have jet again showed their real face." "They're long known to us, so we're not surprised they tried to bring disturbance and instability in these facilities where law and order rule." "There are different human destinies here that are honestly and patiently repenting." "It must be possible for them to serve their sentence and be free again some day, like every citizen of our Socialistic and self leaded community." "Law and order must be respected." "You can't make a small scandal and plans destroy everything this people worked on for years." "What happened to me, is a part of recognizable tendencies, negative thing, whose goal is systematically destabilizing of our society, order and place." "Those actions aren't planned only in our country and we know very well which foreign forces are behind all that." "They should know that this people is strong enough." "That this country is strong enough to suffocate these enemy plans and deal with them skillfully." "Why spill blood again?" "Isn't it spilled enough?" "This problem too, we've solved it as it suits this community." "Peacefully and with genuine understanding." "I say to you all, to be smart and help us." "Please be reasonable." "Help us and we'II help you." "Vuckovic, you know I always counted on you." "Don't repeat these mistakes." "And don't call me anymore." "I haven't got time to waste." " Don't worry, fellow secretary, I know you've got problems over your head." "What problems, what do you mean?" "You think about that you saw on television." "Don't be afraid mate." "In few days, while we solve it, you'll get plenty of customers." "All clear?" " All clear." "So what now?" "Explain someone that wasn't right." "You try to correct it, and it makes a new one." "It's expanding, and you can't stop it." "In the end everything will finish with a smile on someone's face of understanding or deep pity." "My dear friend, mind the questions." "It's pointless to feel clean, when there's no use." "A memory will stay a memory no one wants or can change it." "Nor can he run away from it." "Hope it never happens again."
