"Come on." "Faster!" "I'll escape today." "You must be joking." "No one managed to escape from here." " Doesn't matter." "You're crazy if you think of doing this." " It's easy for you." "You have two years left." "I have 19." "You don't count 12 I've done already." "You're here one year only." "You're not aware how much risk it takes." "I was the only fool who tried to escape, and it was 8 years ago." "I'm pretty sure that such thought will never come across my mind again." "Even if I have to rot here for another 100 years." "They'll shoot." " I made up my mind." "I'll escape after the explosion." " They'll kill you like a dog." "It's same to me." "If they catch you..." " What then?" "I've had enough of everything." " You'll be sorry for not being killed." "Anyway, I warned you." "Starring" "THE WALLED IN" "script by Branko Scepanovic's book "The Convicts"" "directed by" "I like when you're so obedient." "Who would guess you tried to escape when you're so well-behaved!" "You dandy!" "You dandy!" "You just keep quiet." "Keep quiet and think." "You have 19 years more." "If you come up with something smart, tell me." "It'll stay between us." "You've been made sure that everything is kept impeccable here." "Open up." "I said..." "The bucket's place is on the right." "Stop with your work." "Now we're about to sing." "I'm not good at singing." "Doesn't matter." "You'll learn." "We have plenty of time." "We have to be joyful!" "Come on." "The glass we've been drinking wine from have shattered," "Our love we used to hid is now revealed." "For your love, I'll pick the stars from the sky," "I'll give you my hand whenever you need it." "The glass we've been drinking wine from have shattered," "Our love we used to hid is now revealed." "Is there anything new?" "Nothing." "Bye." "I'm looking at you for a while, and I'm left with impression that I look at Jordan all the time." "He was a dandy like you as well." "What did you say?" "You start talking!" "After six months of silence." "Well done!" "You're the last man in the world I'd like to speak with." "You're wrong." "I'm the only man you could do such thing with." "As first." "Secondly, seems like you've forgotten why are you here." "Exactly." "I've forgotten everything." "Who allowed you such luxury, dandy boy?" "You're here to think about everything you've done." "And I'm here to remind you when you start forgetting." "You understand?" "I understand." "Now, practice your memory." "Should I remind you?" "Alright." "As first, you've been taking another people's women." "As second, you've killed a man." "Is that enough?" "It was self-defense." " What?" "A planned, perfidious murder." "Premeditated." " I'm not interested." "Come over here." "Are you interested about the fact that I'm able to ruin your sleep whenever I want to?" "Give me that rasp." "The rasp, I said!" "What rasp?" " The one I sent you by the No.16." "You?" " Me!" "Had you been less rude, I'd left you hoping a few nights more." "Alright!" "And now, the song!" "Yes, comrade manager!" "I came to tell you that the convict Strahinja Petrovic's isolation should be aborted." "Comrade manager, excuse me." "He's dangerous!" " Wait, Gavrilo." "I appreciate your zeal." "But we have no more base to keep him in solitary confinement." "Besides, we have to show our good will." "Take him to the quarry, it's been enough with solitary confinement." "Immediately." " Understood!" "Hold it!" "I'll shoot!" "Hold it." "Help!" "Help!" "Hurry!" "Keep an eye on him, he may escape!" "What happened?" " He was escaping!" "You don't know how to swim, but you wanna escape!" "You wanna play games with us?" "Beat up his motherfucking ass!" "I'll show you!" "Stand still!" "It's a disgrace!" "You let some ragtag to make fools out of you!" "You behave like beldames!" "Comrade manager..." " Shut up!" "What is this?" "A spa or a sanatorium?" "From now on, I demand written reports about everything." "About every little detail." "I'll found my own way to check them." "Gavrilo!" " Yes, comrade manager!" "I'm transferring you to the lower floor." "You're exempt of all other duties." "But you must bring that ragtag to reason." "Do you understand?" " Yes, comrade manager!" "Now, leave!" "Sima and Rudi, get back!" "Keep an eye on Gavrilo." "I don't want anyone to violate the legislation." "I hope everything will be fine." "Have I made myself clear?" "Yes, comrade manager!" "Come on out." "You're wrong if you think that your silence is getting on my nerves." "I was in charge for every type of men;" "From the most peaceful to the most bloodthirsty one." "I classify them all in three groups;" "1) There's plenty of those who are fine with all regulations." "2) Into this category, fall powerless, lost, desperate." "They complain, cry, and try to kill themselves pretty often." "3) Into this category, fall the worst." "Audacious, ready for everything." "They make hunger strikes." "They disobey." "And of course, whenever they grab a chance, they try to escape." "You could fall into all three categories." "You're a special case." "And I'll be especially concerned about you." "I will dedicate a special attention for you." "Right, you dandy?" "Now, the toilet!" "A double scrub!" "Everything must shine!" "Come on, you dandy!" "Faster!" "This is not a spa." " I cleaned everything." "Once more." "Everything must shine!" "Faster!" "Run!" "Don't play with your life, fugitive." "I won't have mercy next time." "Stand up, come on." "Don't get mad, Strahinja." "I had to do this." "The manager is watching from above." "Come on in." "Lie down." "Lie down, have a rest." "Where are the newspapers?" "Why did you throw them away?" " I'm not interested." "How?" "I brought it for you to read." "How could I know." " I do." "You obligated me." "If you're bothered with this, I did it because of myself." "I don't know why you did that, that's your business." "You may be crazy, or good." "And maybe even cunning." "I said, that's your business." "But I know that life is most important." "And I won't remain bound to you." "I didn't remain bound to anyone!" "For bad or good reasons." "Is there anything new?" " Nothing." "Good night." " Good night." "Who done this?" "Does it make any difference?" "It is!" "Get that." "No one is allowed to put a finger on you." "You're protected by legislation." "Are you annoyed because of me or because of legislation?" "Because of both." "Two things make a human being;" "If he's able to speak what he thinks and do what he wants." "I'm forbidden both." "Cut the crap." "I haven't asked you about that." "There." "One word of yours and I'm not human anymore." "You think we're all animals, eh?" "Beasts?" "That we can hate heartlessly?" "But why?" "Why, then?" "Because I'm at this side of the bars." "It wasn't me who came up with your side or mine." "None of them!" "You think I have a good time while bothering with all sorts of men?" "With these people who kill with an axe, a knife, a stone..." "Who kill their wives, their mothers, brothers, friends." "And they all claim they were martyrs!" "That they were right." "That they had to." "I'll tell you about that right." "Because of trodded lawn." "Because of a curse." "Because of fucking curse, they kill a man!" "And they all swear, all!" "Who's the one to blame for, then?" "Me?" "Is it my fault?" "It wasn't me who designed this whole shitty life." "Get up!" "Who allowed you to sit?" "Can I ask for a cigarette?" " I don't give it!" "I don't give anything to cowards." "Look how strong are you." "You've been able to strangle them all like chickens." "And you did nothing!" "It was not out of fear, but something else." "I was spitting, hitting and insulting them." "Not to defend myself, but to provoke them to kill me." "Sit, man." "Light a cigar." "What is this?" "You're whistling?" "Sorry." " Keep on." "It doesn't bother me." "Have I told you about Jordan?" " No." "No?" "He was lying just there three years ago." "I got used to him somehow." "I did everything to help him." "When he got out, he was all alone." "I took him to my house like a friend." "I was looking some work for him." "And he stayed." "We were eating what we had." "And then one day," "I found him with my wife in bed." "I loved that whore!" "I wanted to have kids with her." "My own home." "And now what?" "Nothing." "The women disgust me," "I'm suspicious about friends, and nothing can cheer me up anymore." "They destroyed my life." "You find it funny, do you?" "Sorry, but I do." "Such desperation because of a whore and a charlatan..." "I can't understand!" "Wait!" "I want to ask you something." "Have you been able to despise, spit on and betray something that you love the most?" "Have you ever suffered for an ugly whore that anyone could have, and at the same time, ran away from women who everybody were desired to be with?" "Have you travelled around this small world?" "You don't have to respond." "I know you haven't." "Nor you remembered or wished to feel something more of life." "You never lived, my Gavrilo." "That's why you've been blown away by first wind." "Combusted by initial fire." "For you, there's only freedom and slavery, lie and truth, love and hate." "And you believe it's life." "But life is always between these, and never THAT." "My good Gavrilo." "Do you know how much blood of the innocent every freedom drank it?" "How much evil it took people to reach their biggest goal?" "And how only the truth enjoys to kill sometimes!" "I went through all that hundreds of times, and I never learned a thing." "Only to kill this man who I didn't hate or wished him worst, and end up here." "Reached the end." "Reached nothing." "Forget that whore and that Jordan!" "Hi, Gavra." "Do you have today's papers?" "I do." "Does this ox obeys you?" "He must." "I'll give you back after I read it." "You see with whom I live with." "It's known for me beforehand." "What I can and what I can't." "What do you want from me, then?" "Again with rules." "Again with excuses!" "As if one must obey the legislation instead of crashing it down!" "Not everyone can do that." "Do something!" "Move your ass from that chair." "Stand up straight, be a man!" "What's up?" " Nothing." "Why are you nervous?" "Don't be afraid." "You're not expected to do anything for another man." "You can't do this and you won't because you're a coward, bro." "Yes, you are." "I'm not." "Right." "You rock!" "You rock!" "Is it yours?" " Yes, comrade manager." "How it ended up in the cell?" " I forgot it, com. manager." "Forgot it?" "Playing for a fugitive?" "Was he playing?" " You bet he was!" "You've started introducing pop music in jail, have you?" "To kill boredom, right?" "I can't understand..." " You will understand." "Two urgent shifts for now." "Understood?" "Understood, comrade manager." "Silence!" "Silence!" "Stand still!" "Turn against the wall!" "One step forward!" "Guards!" "Guards!" "Yes, comrade manager." " What are you doing here?" "I'm on patrol, comrade manager." "In this suit?" "I didn't have time to change my clothes." "Shut up!" "You think this is a whorehouse?" "I want your report tomorrow!" " Understood." "This rain gets boring." "Can I have a smoke?" "Yes, you can." "And there's no rain when it's most needed." "The rain is good." "I like to hear it." "It can be boring." "When it doesn't stop for days." "You wanna read?" "Good night." " Good night." "Open up." "Your name?" " Strahinja Petrovic." "Do you have any complaints?" " No." "About food, about guards..." "Be free to say." "Does someone mistreat you?" "No." "I'm content." "Is everything fine?" " Yes, comrade inspector." "Gavrilo!" " Yes, comrade manager?" "Come to my office later!" " Understood, comrade manager." "I'm very satisfied with you, Gavrilo." "I was sure that you'll pacify and bring that fugitive to reason." "Thanks, comrade manager." "Now, listen to me carefully:" "Make sure he gets a good rest and enhanced nutrition." "He doesn't have to do anything." "Did the guideline come?" " Yes." "It's nice to see his back finally." "He made us enough trouble." "He really did, comrade manager." "You can go now." "Beware..." "Be careful that he doesn't make some foolish thing these days." "He's a nasty guy." "And dangerous, too." "Very dangerous, Gavrilo." "Understood?" " Understood, com. manager." "Get up!" "You behave as if you're in a hotel." "Feeling bad?" " I'll burst of pleasure!" "You want servants, maybe?" " What do you want from me?" "Do you expect I'll jump out of happiness because you don't torture me like before?" "You don't I'm so..." " Enough!" "Hold your arms high, you louse!" "Open up!" "Open up!" "Don't make jokes." "No, we'll do it seriously." "No jokes." "How many guards are at the gate?" " One." "At the galleries?" " Two." "Be careful." "You'll take me to the city." "If there be a fuss, your head is the first to be..." "Hold it!" "I'll sell my skin dearly." "I'll kill you all." "Move it!" "If you try something, I'll whack you." "Why are you staring at me?" "Move!" "Could I shoot at you, anyway?" "You knew it was empty." "You're not mad, are you?" "If I crossed that line, I would kill you." "You're moved." " Don't fool me around." "You're moved, I say." "Is that certain?" " Most certainly." "And no one could change that?" " No one." "The guideline has come." "You're leaving on Thursday." "Thank God I'm leaving this hell!" "You're moved for penalty." " Let it be!" "Just not to be forced to look at those disgusting faces anymore!" "Not to breathe that stench." "Just not to meet these animals!" "Are you looking forward to this?" " I do." "So what?" "I thought..." " What have you thought?" "What can you think about, anyway?" "You're a good man, Gavrilo." "But what can you do." "I feel like I begun to change when I met you." "I begun to hate things that you hate." "To love what you love." "You're wrong." "We're two different worlds, Gavrilo." "This is made up..." "To divide people and alienate them." "Until we're separated by this, there's no friendship." "That's not right!" "I don't recognize any worlds." "Any bars." "Nothing can ruin a friendship if there's one." "Maybe I'm crazy." "But I thought..." "Desperation made us stuck together." "And Evil got us closer." "That's all." "Believe me." "That's all." "The glass we've been drinking wine from have shattered," "Our love we used to hid is now revealed." "For your love, I'll pick the stars from the sky," "I'll give you my hand whenever you need it." "You'll escape on Thursday." "Me?" "What kind of foolishness is that?" "Is that a foolishness?" "What else?" "Do you know a single person who managed to escape?" "You'll be the first one who will." "Leave off that comedy!" " Do you want it or no?" "Are you nuts?" "Do you know what are you engaging in?" "That's my concern." "Do you want it or no?" "It's the last time I ask you." "Tell me, why are you doing this?" "I don't believe you're stupid and unable to understand." "Do you know how much risk you take?" "You think, I do not dare to take risks?" "No, I didn't mean about that." "You're my only friend." "I want to help you." "Where are you going to?" "Hey, stay with me!" "Stay, Gavrilo." "I beg you!" "Wait!" "I'll be back in five minutes." "What are you staring at?" "Move!" "Dinner!" "You're not sleeping?" "Are you worried too much about it?" "What did you say?" "You said you'll be back in five minutes." "I'm waiting for 24 hours for these five minutes of yours to pass." "You want them to bust us before we pass through the gate?" "You could have dropped by for a minute to explain me." "What do I need to explain?" "You're surrounded by bars and guns." "One wrong move, one unplanned detail, and it's all over." "Sorry." "I thought..." "You're not supposed to think, but to sit here and wait!" "I bought a suit for you to dress it when the time comes." "Listen..." "Exactly at 10am we'll be leaving this cage and passing through the gate." "At 11:04am we'll arrive at the station." "There's eight minutes left until train's departure time." "Within this period, we'll be buying bread, salami and cigarettes for you in the station restaurant." "We'll both start running when the locomotive whistles." "You're jumping the train, and I'm tripping and falling on purpose." "I'm getting back to the station to send message about what happened." "That way suspicion wouldn't fall on me." "Listen, after ten minutes you'll jump off the train on the right." "Remember this, there's a forest and a river on the right." "You'll be running away along the river's flow." "Understood?" "That's all." "The rest depends on you." "I must escape, Gavrilo." "I must, do you understand?" "There, you're thrilled." "You feel like there's no problem." "And it's all pure shit." "It's all mine..." " Do not interrupt me!" "We've overlooked that I could meet some of my colleagues at the station." "It would be all gone." "Come on, Gavrilo." "Everybody would run away from such situation." "You've made an excellent plan, Gavrilo." "Excellent!" "Let me tell you the real truth behind that thing at the river." "I jumped into river on purpose, in order to enable escape for you." "And you, sentimental dickhead, are getting back to pull me out of water." "That's impossible." "Why you have done it?" "You hated me, Gavrilo." "I haven't." "I'm not able to hate." "Never." "No one." "Not even Jordan." "I'm afraid." "I'm afraid that something unforeseen will happen." "There's no unforeseen things." "All must be planned accurately." "Do you have any ideas?" "Nothing at all." "I can't sleep, can't eat, can't think." "I don't know how will I hold on through this last night." "I'll go crazy, Gavrilo!" "I've made up my mind." "You'll be running across wold." "In this wold, at about half of the road before the train station, there's a large tree." "It's a single tree within whole area." "I left the suit for you right next to this tree." "We'll done everything there." "You'll have to tie me up and make me a bruise so that they won't suspect me." "What wold?" "What tree?" "You think that's better than train?" "Of course." "There's no witnesses." "That's the only way to success." "Do you know where to go?" "Do you have any friends?" "I do." "I'll come up with something." "I'll run across the border, that's the safest thing to do." "You're a fool!" "At our request, you'll be delivered back like a package in three days." "Did you hear about Interpol?" " Yes." "Can't you think of something more clever?" "The only way to save yourself is this:" "When you cross the border, ask for political asylum." "But I was never into politics." " Cut it out, I said!" "I've been brainstorming for days." "Have a little respect, and shut up when I talk!" "I believe the man who you send to another world was official." "When you come there, you'll say that you killed him for political reasons." "Right?" "Now I'm leaving." " Where are you going?" "Get some sleep." " Wait, let's talk for a while." "Sleep, I said!" "You'll need both strength and courage tomorrow." "Strahinja!" "I've decided to go with you." "What?" "I'll go with you." "I can't live the old life anymore." "I can't hold on alone and walled in." "Without anyone." "I've got enough of everything." "You can't?" "You've had enough?" "That's your destiny." "Your life." "What else you'll do?" " Going with you." "With me?" "I have to hide and run away." "You said yourself I'm about to go through hell." "Whatever, there's nothing I should regret for." "You know the way I was." "What are you talking about?" "You've been the way you had to be." "All the same." "You're my only friend, I want to go with you!" "What are you shitting about?" "Do not deceive yourself." "I'm nobody's friend." " Aren't we..." "Wait!" "How can you not understand, Gavrilo?" "I've spent whole my life with some friends, and what happened?" "Did anyone send me a single letter?" "Did anyone pay a visit to me?" "Can I go to anyone's home and say:" ""I ran away from prison, hide me!"" "My ass!" "You know well." "Do not demand lies from me." "I don't demand anything." "I just want to leave together with you." "I thought..." " There's nothing to be thought of." "You'll regret." "Be sure about it." "Do you really believe in this?" " I do, Gavrilo." "It's better for us to separate forever." "At least, when we remember one another, we'll be able to say:" "We hated, we tortured one another." "But when it was most important, we were able to act like humans." "And that's all?" " Isn't that enough?" "You said yourself that life is the most important thing." "I remembered this." "Life taught me not to believe anyone." "Not even me?" " I believe you, but for another reason." "Another reason?" " Don't play naive." "You know why yourself." "I saved your life once, and now you're giving your debt back." "You think I don't know, eh?" "Where's that tree?" "I don't see it." "What tree?" "The one where you hide my suit." "There's no such tree." "No tree?" " No." "There's nothing." "You've been dreaming, I guess." "You went crazy." "That was your idea." "Hurry." "We'll miss the bus." "What bus?" "The bus that will take you to the place where they expect you, and where you're about to spend the next 18 years." "THE END"
