Can you hear me?

Can you hear me?

Nurse, take out the intubation.

I have to tell you that your recovery

may take quite some time.

What luck you've had. ..

Here I'll show you.. .

The bullet...

The bullet missed the center. ..

The center.. .

Be still. ..

You have a cigarette?

Doctor!

Can you hear me?

Can you hear me?

Do you have a cigarette?

You see, two months in a coma

is a long period.

However, his condition is now stable.

He has regained his sight and

hearing.

It's amazing that the bullet went

through his skull without

damaging any

of the vital centers.

We have been keeping him under

intense observation

for but lamentably, there has been no

progress.

Chances are he may never regain his

memory.

Are you sure?

The psychiatrist working with him says

it's total amnesia.

Colonel?

He really doesn't know

who he is. Be careful.

Some information could create a

chaos in his brain.. .

We've told him about

the wounding and the coma,

but we've made no mention

of certain events. ..

You are back with us!

You don't know who I am?

Have you got a cigarette?

You know I quit smoking...

Sorry.

The doctor told me

you can't remember a thing. ..

Then you don't remember

this either?

No.

Who are you?

We've worked together

for 1 6 years.

You, Zarkovic and me.

What did we do?

What the Government

asked us to do.

For example?

You were shot in the head.

In your apartment. Point blank.

We don't know who did it .

Nor do we know why.

Should you remember anything.. .

Do you have a cigarette?

You had a wife and a son. ..

Both Sonja and Milos were

killed when you were wounded.

You were all at home that day.

I'll be going now.. .

We'll be in touch, major.

There is a chance that your memory

may slowly come back in fragments,

but meanwhile life goes on.

You should take on

with this new situation.

If they didn't tell you, I.. .

-I know.. .

You have no idea who you are.

Nice horse.

Is that water over there?

Can I. ..?

How old was he?

Who?

My son.

I was assigned to the case.

Didn't they tell you?

We came following

an anonymous call.

Found a bloodbath

one rarely sees.

We nicely combed everything

but found nothing.

I knew I had to work quick, because

Your service doesn't like anyone to

meddle in its affairs.

What service?

MS A Military Security Agency.

The Army intelligence.

ARMINT if you like.

Anyway, the investigation was

interrupted after two hours.

You didn't know that either?

Right! They're hiding it.

But that's where

they made a mistake.

Because everything I start

working on, I finish.

And I think I know who did it.

So, why don't you arrest them?

It's not that simple, buddy.. .

Now I really have to go.

Cigarettes.

Not that.That is what you've been

admitted in.

That was left for you by your

friend, the colonel.

Supposedly a water pipe burst in the

apparent above.

The Pride Club.. .

may I help you?

I didn't order a whiskey.

-You always drink Jack Daniel's.

Are you sure?

-Well, I'm sure.

They you surely know my name?

Give me a beer.

My deepest condolences,

dear neighbor! -Thank you.

I can't begin to tell you

how sorry I am.

I just remembered the other day

how you and your son

carried the stove up for me up the

stairs.. . You remember?

Milos, such a wonderful boy.

What a terrible tragedy.

I would have visited

you at the hospital,

but I didn't know

which one.

Can I ask you something?

Ask . ..

Are you feeling better now?

Yes.

I already thought you decided to

forget everything.

Here, this is you.

Only first class assignments.

Croatia, Bosnia, Rwanda.. .

Covert operations

through out Europe.. .

All that the Government required. ..

You were their special

assignments man, so to say.

You said you knew

who killed me.

Who tried to kill you.

Yes, I said I think I know..

I'm listening.

Don't you think it's strange

that they're letting you

wonder around, sit in bars. ..?

They surely aren't amateurs to

let someone just stroll freely?

Come to the point.

They're waiting.

Waiting for what?

They are waiting for you

to take them to

something that they want desperately.

Something that only you

know where it actually is.

What?

I have no idea.

Look at it this way.

You're working on a case,

you get your hands on some

documents, objects.

Some information

you shouldn't know about.

And before you even

realize what you have,

they come and liquidate you

and eliminate your family.

But, then they don't find what they

were looking for.

And you even survive!

And then the second bummer:

you've got amnesia.

What they want get hold of,

the thing only you know where

it's hidden, could ruin them

even if you're dead.

They're scared shitless.

That's why they're waiting.

Who's scared shitless?

Maybe this can help you.

Who's this? -The man you were

tailing before you got killed.

Before they failed to kill you.

A businessman.

A fine gentleman.

The king of transition.

No one can lay a finger on him.

And he just loooves

to have his photos taken

in the company of politicians.. .

Rich as Creusus.

-And...?

''And'' what?

How would I know?

Ties with organized crime, military,

maybe something even worse.

You were working on it.

You should know what was

in the box you opened.

- What is it you want from me?

I want to get to the truth.

Why are you so much

interested in the truth?
