Idiot.

- Why's she an idiot?

She goes to class II-3.

They're all idiots there.

Marko! - Boss...

I wanted to warm up a bit.

I see you have your own trouble.

So, maybe if this privatization thing...

Any news about the tender?

Things are looking up. A Belgian company responded.

They've started negotiating.

- That's the solution for us.

They just have to buy us.

- Then buy are shares off us.

We'll be doing well by then.

- That's the only reason we are still here.

They just have to buy us!

- Something will come out of it.

They're dry.

Wanna go to the canteen,

to wash down your troubles, as they say?

- No, thanks.

'HELP LITTLE NEMANJA'

Turn your mobile off, Alisa.

- Yeah, in a bit.

Stand up, Alisa!

A quiz for you.

Nah, not just now.

- And why is that?

I don't know anything.

But, you could help me.

Give me private lessons.

I can't give you private lessons, I am your teacher.

But I can recommend some of my colleagues.

No, I want you to give me lessons.

My dad will pay you well.

You could use some money now,

far as I know.

Get out!

Excuse me?

- Out!

Hey.

- Hey.

Any news?

No news. I checked the account too, nothing.

What'd you wash the dishes for?

To help you.

- I don't need that kind of help.

Sorry.

I flipped out at school.

Hello?

Someone for you, dad.

Hello? - Are you Mladen Pavlovic?

- Yes.

I'm calling about the ad.

Yes?

- I think there is something I could do for you.

Let's not talk on the phone.

Can we meet tomorrow? - Yes.

OK, how about five o'clock, 'Moscow' hotel?

- Fine.

Until then.

- Goodbye.

What was that?

- Some man called ahout the ad.

And? What did he say?

- Says to meet up tomorrow.

Hope something comes out of it.

Good afternoon.

What will you have? How ahout a whiskey?

- Okay.

A whiskey for the gentleman.

I've seen your ad.

I'm prenared to help.

What can I say? I'd he infinitely grateful.

Every donation is significant.

I'd give you the entire amount.

I reckon, it'll he 30 thousand.

Are you serious?

- I am serious.

Your son answered the phone, wasn't it?

- Yes.

Sounds like a well brought-up child.

I don't have any myself, yet.

You would save my son's life with that.

Of course, I'll pay you back in full,

as soon as I raise it.

With interest, if needed.

- No need to pay back.

But there is something you could do for us.

For whom?

The matter is utterly delicate

and it should stay between us.

Whether you accept or not.

- Yes, of course.

Thank you.

There's a man who's in our way

in the way of us who love this country and build it.

Someone always interferes with...

You're a builder too, you'll understand.

To cut a long story short, the man should vanish.
