Stitches (Šavovi)

Good morning.

Morning.

Good morning.

Here, take this.

So, how was last night?

Business as usual.

I secure, I patrol, I monitor the place.

You probably got some sleep, right?

No, no sleep.

No way. You must've had at least a nap.

Mom, I don't drink milk and you know it.

Well, I do.

Attending some lectures today?

- No. - How come?

We're on a break.

I'll get it.

- Good morning, neighbour. - Hello.

- Come in. - I brought this.

- Good morning, neighbour. - Good morning.

I've got here some blood pressure monitors.

Let's go to the living room.

If you're interested, I can check your blood pressure.

Have a seat. Let's see, now.

I'm done.

Just like this...

- There you go. - Thanks.

- It can tell time and date. - Has a built-in memory, too.

This is too high.

You'd better check it more often.

I'll think about it.

Okay, no problem.

I'm off to work.

You know where to find me. Have a nice day.

See you.

- Thanks, see you. - No problem. Bye.

Good morning.

Yes?

I wanted to see if you ever had a body with this personal ID number.

Who let you in here? This is for authorized personnel only.

Let me see that.

What's this?

This is way out of date.

Have you ever been here before?

Can you check this, please?

This is not my job, you have to go upstairs to the office and file a request.

Just go.

This one's for me.

“By the end of this month take care of your weight“.

What does this mean? Should I eat more, or less?

This one's for you.

“Check your blood pressure“.

- Have you had any problems with that? - Never.

Is this okay?

-Go -Yes, it's okay.

Tell me, how is my beautiful niece?

She's fine.

Any boyfriend?

She had one, but she stopped talking about him.

Hello, Ana.

Hello.

Sorry for bothering you, but I haven't seen you in a while.

You stopped coming to our meetings.

Right.

Yesterday, someone mentioned you and Jovan.

This is an invitation for out next meeting.

We already mailed you one, but maybe it's better this way.

I don't have time.

We found a person willing to help in your municipality.

She's a good person. You should go and see her.

Hello.

Hello.

Bye, Olivera.

She's from the Association, right?

Here... it's finished.

I told you to stay away from them.

You can't get rid of them now.

I have to go.

I'm off. See you!

ASSOCIATION MISSING CHILDREN

BE BACK SOON

MUNICIPALITY CLIENT SERVICES

Hello.

I'm looking for Branka Novicic.

Window number seven.

Yes, please?

- Hello. - How can I help you?

My name is Ana.

Yes. How can I help you?

Olivera from the Association told me to get in touch with you, so...

You should've phoned first.

Fill in these forms, bring all the required papers,

both yours and your husband's documents,

and we can commence the procedure.

Be here on Friday, after one. I'm working with clients now.

- Have a nice day. - Friday?

Next, please.

Ma'am, our ID card.

Bring your husbands ID card, too. Have a nice day.

Hello.

- Get over there! - Get it!

Excuse me, can I have the ball?

Ana...

What brings you here, my dear?

Go and play, Kica.

I'm so glad to see you.

So, how have you been?

I'm fine.

- Thanks. - What about your daughter?

She must be a big girl now and pretty, like her mom.

Your husband, Jovan? He's a really good man.

They are all fine.

I'm so glad to hear that.

You probably have a client in this neighbourhood, right?

You look well. I'm happy to see this.

I have to go.

See you, Ana!

What brings you here?

Where have you been?

You're stalking people again?

She called me! The lady doctor called me!

You approached the kid. Why did you approach that kid?

She said she'll call the cops.

Do you want to end up in an asylum?

Why are you doing this to us?

You promised. You promised Ivana and me that you'd stop doing this.

You promised we'd go on with our lives and that you'd stop doing this.

What do you want from that woman, Ana?

What can she tell you after all these years?

What do you expect to hear?

This has to stop, tomorrow!

Tomorrow, we're going to the police to close the case.

I don't know. He saw the text but he doesn't call back.

Yes...

I don't know.

I have to go now. I'll get back to you.

Okay! bye'

Bye.

Mom!

Mom, did you patch up that skirt?

Did you?

I forgot. I'm sorry. I'll do it tomorrow.

I need that skirt for tonight!

I don't believe this!

Why are you going through these papers again?

I want to be ready for tomorrow.

We can't close the case.

Why not?

We opened the case 18 years ago.

I know all about your case and there's not a person here who doesn't.

Your lady here wouldn't let us forget about it, even if we wanted to.

But this is a mandatory investigation.

We don't have to drag this anymore, let's put an end to this.

We abandoned all expectations.

We know that our case is not the only one.

You all did your best.

Can you come with me, for a second?

Please, wait here.

I wanted to ask you. She keeps hoping for a breakthrough,

but we both know it's over.

We even received threats.

I understand that, too. People got fed up with us.

But she keeps on... for years now...

About a missing paper, or a forged document.

But then, she made a promise.

For a while, it was alright.

I called you here because of her.

She comes here very often.

She asks about the case.

Sometimes she just sits here, doesn't say a word, then she goes.

She would have found a lead herself without our help, if there was any.

Talk some sense into her.

Don't let anyone else do it.

What about the body?

What have they done with it?

I don't quite understand that part.

Wise decision.

I'm sorry?

To close it.

To stop... searching.

Let's go.

POLICE

Ana... Ana...

- Did you see the man next to me? - It's over.

This policeman said what the others said, it's useless to go on.

It was a different time, you know that.

I promised him that we'll stop now. That we understand.

That my wife understands, too. She promised.

I have to go and you should go straight home after work.

Bye.

Why aren't you asleep?

Always waiting for something.

Ana... Come with me, please.

This is the death certificate.

Okay.

I just want to find out where he is buried. I looked everywhere.

This is it. This document matches the one I've got here in the system.

Let me see the birth certificate.

We named him Stefan, later.

Let me just fill in the personal ID number.

This is it... wait.
