Underground (Подземље)

To our fathers and their children...

Once upon a time, there was a country...

and its capital was Belgrade.

April 6, 1941...

I'll kill them, my friend!

Careful, my friend!

I'll kill them!

Don't, it's dangerous!

Ivan, my brother!

The Vice-President spoke of increased cooperation

between the two nations of Yugoslavia.

That's my brother...

and his best friend, Blacky!

Hooligans! Hooligans!

What can I do? They're all I... have.

Marko!

Come in for a cup of coffee.

Impossible, man, I'm in a hurry! My friend's tired!

I'm tired...

I'll buy you lunch tomorrow at "The Russian Tsar"!

Get off that horse and get in the house!

Vera, I'm a free man, you hear?

A free man? You're kidding!

Damn it!

Vera, I have something important to tell you. Listen...

- What? - Don't be angry...

We enrolled Petar in the Communist Party.

A whore-house rather!

He's one of us now.

Get inside!

Okay, just one last word to my friend.

Get inside. I have to sort things out with him.

See who I have to live with!

I love you. Let me kiss you.

Not on the lips, fucker!

Blacky! Get in the house!

She's like this every morning!

I'll leave you, just like Marko's wife left him.

I'm a free man...

Eenie, meenie, minie, mo...

Part One - The War

In the attic, a small apartment...

On the wall...

Looloo... Breakfast!

A small clock on the wall...

Is ticking... tick-tock...

In the attic... an apartment...

Does your mother obey you?

Soni!

That's it! Do it! Go on!

- Let go! - The best is yet to come!

Wait!

Fucking fascist motherfuckers!

How can you keep eating?

I can and that's that.

How can you, with all these bombs?

Out of spite!

You want me to die hungry?

My shoes!

Not my shoes!

You fat horse!

I've had enough.

That does it!

They're bombing my city!

Raiding my city!

My own city!

Where are you going, Blacky?

To "greet" the fucking criminals who've come to destroy my city!

- I know where you're going! - You do?

I know!

To see that whore!

What whore? You're crazy, you really are.

That actress.

What? I'm defending my country!

- Don't lie! - Vera!

You're defending that whore!

God, it's impossible to have a serious talk with you!

What are you saying? You get on my nerves!

Here it is!

I'm saying what the whole town is saying.

What is it, my love?

You never leave that theatre!

You're in that theatre every night.

I know, I love the theatre.

You love the theatre?

You love the theatre!

So? What's so strange about that?

You love that whore, not the theatre!

If you weren't pregnant...

You'd what? You lying creep!

- Me? - Yes, you!

You scum!

What is it? What?

Shame on you, Vera!

Blacky!

What's happening?

Don't cry! I'll build you a new zoo. Come on...

Look...

Get lost!

The survivors will be eaten, can't you see?

Here's some money. Buy some milk for the baby monkey.

Come on, stop crying. The Germans will make fun of you.

National Theatre Clearance Team

Working hard, artists?

You bet!

Bato, sweets!

Uncle Blacky!

Are you avoiding me? Let's not play games.

You're dead right!

What do you mean?

You know very well what I mean!

No, I don't. I don't!

You want me and Bato in a prison camp?

What?

The whole city is talking about it. You thief!

Me? What's the town saying?

Don't try to act stupid.

You steal people's gold and money. You steal!

I only steal from the rich...

what they stole from the poor!

- Stop it... - You stop it!

Working hard?

Do you love me?

- Well, yes. - Come on, give me a kiss!

You love me! I've been looking for you for days.

I'm scared.

You get on my nerves!

You get on mine! Have you seen this?

You're a wanted man.

Ten thousand!

Ten thousand for my life! Rubbish!

Franz!

Franz?

Fräulein Zovko...

Oh, Franz! Good morning.

I've been waiting.

We have a table waiting at "The Russian Tsar".

Yes... and my brother?

Seisenberger, do me a favour. Take this "vehicle" and follow us.

But carefully!

Franz...

Ivan, open up!

Stay there by the door and don't move!

Ivan! My God, it stinks in here!

Vera, take a seat!

My brother's like Noah saving the world after the flood.

Don't move and keep quiet!

What are you doing?

Shame on you!

Always hanging yourself!

My God...

I've had enough of this life...

Enough? Instead of helping me and being a hero,

you hang yourself like a sissy! Shame on you!

An announcement from the Gestapo

to citizens of Belgrade and other towns.

Bandits robbed a train

full of arms and munitions last night.

The attack was the work of the Communist criminals,

Petar Popara, known as Blacky, and Marko Dren.

What have you done?

Nothing. Last night, we roughed up a few thieves.

Marko, oh Lord...

Someone ratted on us.

Some bastard squealer gave our names!

Our comrades were arrested.

Was Blacky arrested? Taken in?

Arrested, my ass, just as they'll never catch me.

Come on, hurry up!

Why do I have to come?

Because you're my brother.

Let him go!

Come on, people!

No, it's nothing! I can manage!

- Who is it? - It's me, grandad!

Who is it?

It's me! Marko!

Who?

Marko, for God's sake!

Who?

It's me, Marko! Open up!

- It's you, Marko! - Yes, it's me.

Come on in! The Germans could be here any minute!

Go downstairs, I'll take care of your stuff later.

The cellar's behind the stove.

Let them through! Come on!

Where are you taking those animals?

It's not a zoo down there, it's a shelter for humans!

I'm closing!

This is horrible!

Horrible!

Where are you now, Blacky, you bastard?

Has it st... st...

Yes, it's started, it's started!

It's started!

Grandad! Marko!

Blacky's wife... is giving birth!

Out of the way!

Please, quickly!

Bring some water, a sheet, any white piece of cloth...
