You have ever seen her before?
No, I haven't.
Do you have any children?
No.

We'll sort this out?
You will sort this out?
Ciao.

- The police say this is all they've got.
- I saw the crowd by the river.
- You have an appointment
- I'll get there.
- Who is the victim?
- No ID. Some guy found the body.
- We need his name and story.
- I'm not sure he is a suspect.
He is. This will make a great story.
National news.
Stribor? Go.
Welcome, Olga Alexandrovna.
- Hello, Nikolaj. Glad to see you.
- You too.
KYIV, UKRAINE
Hello!
Hello, Olga Alexandrovna.
You look great.
Like our office.
Sergej, don't you think it's too much?
Children and youth first.
Please. I want our foundation
to invest in children, not in itself.
If you want to make money,
you must spend money.
You know what kind of people are
coming tonight.
They like classy things.
Our dance group will dance for them.
And now I want you to meet our
hostesses. The girls are waiting for you.
Girls?
They will welcome our guests.
- Hello!
- Hello.
- How old are they?
- Thirteen, fourteen. Maybe, twelve.
They are kids.
What have you done to them?
- Don't get upset, it's just..
- Listen to me.
The girls won't welcome our guests
looking like that. Understood?
Understood.
Thank you, girls.
- Where are you?
- In a meeting.
You are a bit late.
Mr. Horvati will join you shortly.
- Something to drink?
- No, thanks.
- We need to talk.
- About what? You are crazy.
When I am done with Horvati?
Come to me.
- Mr. Kralj.
- Hello.
- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you too.
- Coffee?
- No, thanks. I've had two this morning.
- There is some whiskey on the table.
- It's too early for whiskey.
- How are you?
- I'm fine.
- You know why I called you.
- I know, it's about your biography.
- Autobiography.
- An autobiography?
Yes, my autobiography.
Your autobiography.
He didn't mention that.
With all due respect,
I don't want to be a ghost writer.
Mr. Kralj, I admire your work.
I read everything you write
and I like your style.
- My book is for younger readers.
- All right.
I need a contemporary writer
to help me get my message across.
And I just want my name
on the cover of a book.
So what are we going to do?
What are we going to do?
You don't want the job?
Your book will be very popular.
I just want my name
on anything I have written.
OK. This is how we're going to do it.
I am interested
in your take on the subject.
It's your personal story,
from a small farm near Osijek
to the office of Croatian Prime Minister.
A moderate conservative.
It's what Croatia needs right now.
Like the Christian Democrats in
Germany.
Middle of the road.
But it doesn't matter really.
- I'm sold. I am.
- You're too much.
- How much do you make on a book?
- I have never done this before.
All right, how much?
Thirty-five? Forty?
- Something like that.
- OK.
- I will pay you one hundred thousand.
- One hundred?
Is that OK? Mr. Horvati?
Ivan, I didn't come
to negotiate about money.
I want to author a book about a man
who is the future of Croatia
for the next decade or more.
Stribor,
let's sleep on it.
You made your terms clear,
I've made you an offer.
My grandpa used to say the morning
is wiser than the evening.
- My grandpa said the same thing.
- There you go.
- Do we know who the girl is?
- She had no ID on her.
She was about 15 or 16.
The guy we brought in?
- A witness.
- A suspect.
Is he a witness or a suspect?
Do we have any evidence against him?
Don't be ridiculous.
If we think the girl was killed,
it will be all over media.
Is this what you want?
Working with reporters
breathing down your neck?
They won't.
It is either suicide or an accident.
Wait a minute, Vlado.
Seriously, do you think
this could be foul play?
I do.
Then keep digging.
But find something as soon as possible.
If you don't...
I know.
I understand.
Motherfucker.
It's you again.
So, you were riding your bike.
You saw the body and called us.
- That's all?
- Yes.
- Did you touch her?
- Yes.
- To check if she was...
- If she was alive?
- If she was real.
- Real?
Where did you touch her?
You will sleep here
and we shall talk more tomorrow.
Tomorrow I want answers from you.
Thumb? One word.
About us.
Standing up. Cutting grass?
- You are fat? Pregnant?
- Yes.
- I've got some errands to do.
- See you.
A baby!
- What are we going to do?
- What?
I should ask my boss for a full-time job.
You should.
- We'll be fine.
- I know.
Thank you.
Good evening.
A while ago I was a little scared girl
from a poor family.
A lot has changed since then,
but I'm still a scared little girl.
I was very lucky.
I've got a chance to change my life,
and I want many children to get this
chance, too.
And also I'm very happy
that so many concerned people
have come to my event today.
We can help kids. We can give them
a ticket for a better future.
So, let's do it together.
I want to welcome everyone to our
Romanchenko Foundation charity event.
And, also thank you, that you did not
come here empty-handed,
but with your wallets.
Because our foundation is nothing
without you.
So, thank you again.
You've helped us to launch six youth
centers, in Kyiv and all over the country.
But I know that we can do more together.
Enjoy your evening.
This is such a beautiful occasion.
And where is your husband?
I have a business idea for him.
This event is for kids,
not for business ideas. Excuse me.
Hi. Where are you? On your way?
It has already started.
I'm waiting for you.
What happened?
Are you at home?
Okay, I'll be right there. Yes. Bye.
What happened?
I don't know.
I need to go to my sister's.
- Now?
- Yes.
I think Sergej can handle it by himself.
Let's go.
What's happened?
Something's wrong with Katya?
Alina!
- You're late.
- The charity event dragged on.
- Guests didn't want to leave.
- I don't give a shit.
You'll be payed here.
Don't be late anymore.
OK.
How much will I get?
- How old are you?
- Sixteen.
Almost 16
You're 18.
Come with me.
- Maybe we should call the police?
- Alina.
Does she have a tracking app?
Please, think. Where can she be?
With a friend, maybe?
- She's met a boy, maybe older.
- A boy?
- She's 15.
- Were you any different?
Who is he? What's his name?
Where does he live?
I don't know.
I know nothing about him.
- Did you check her social media?
- Sure.
- She hasn't posted for two days.
- I know.
- We need to find this boy.
- Yeah. How?
- Are you okay?
- Nikolaj, you've worked for police.
Help us to find someone.
I don't know his name or age,
I know nothing about him.
- Olga, what happened?
- My niece Katya is missing.
- Have you filed a report?
- No, not yet.
My sister thinks she's with a boy.
- Can you help us find him?
- Yes, sure, but Sergej...
I'll talk to him.
Shit.
- Howdy!
- Show me.
Which one?
This.
Why such ugliness?
- Fuck. Ugly ones are easier...
- I'll make you ugly myself.
What have I paid you for?
You needed to find some flesh
and make good photos. What's this?
Yegor, I do my best, I need more time.
I want this one.
Okay.
- You have a week.
- Yegor, a week is too short...
If I don't get some flesh in a week,
I'll shove your camera up your ass.
- Understood?
- Understood.
Horvatić will be the Minister of Interior.
You can't refuse.
It's not about the job or money.
I made it perfectly clear.
You know what?
I want to do a story about this dead girl.
As a full-time reporter.
- Let's talk some other time.
- I have worked part-time for three years.
- Give me a full-time job.
- You know the ads suck.
You know the circulation.
You're making
a fortune on pre-election ads.
Running a newspaper
costs a lot of money.
I have none left for you. If you want
to write about the girl, do it.
- Seriously?
- Yes.
I'm going to write about the dead girl
but not for you.
- What do you mean?
- Just watch.
- Hello?
- Hey, how are you?
I'm fine. I'm calling about work.
Do you know about the dead girl
in the Drava River?
I thought I could write
a piece or two for you.
You're not covering the story
for a local paper?
Fuck them.
I can start immediately.
- A couple of pieces.
- Wait a minute.
If she was a suicide,
we cannot print much.
I know.
Why didn't she have an ID?
If she jumped into the river, where are
her things? It's two pieces at least.
First, write one.
Then we'll see if we need more.
Great. Thank you. By.
The deceased was 14 or 15 years old.
Or younger.
Cause of death: drowning.
No signs of violence.
Are you sure there is no signs
of violence?
What about substance abuse?
The toxicology report
will be ready in a couple of days.
She was pregnant.
And as I found no signs of violence,
I think this was no accident.
I think she took her own life.
- Pregnancy is embarrassing at her age.
- Embarrassing?
You say she killed herself.
She had no ID, no cell phone.
Absolutely nothing.
My job is to dissect a body
and tell you what I have found.
I found nothing
that would indicate murder.
V is a fool.
I can deal with that.
She'll be mad at you.
Let her deal with that shit
I'll call you later.
Don't do it, Ivana,
he's going to hurt you.
What happened?
Where are you? Call or text NOW!!!
Who is the father? Maybe he killed her
because she was pregnant.
Or her father found out
about pregnancy and killed her.
- Let's stick to the facts.
- What facts?
Go through the photos
of missing persons.
- I did.
- Maybe she was reported since.
I get all the reports on missing persons.
She has not been reported as missing.
It's the reporter.
No comments available.
Hello?
Hi, Stribor Kralj speaking.
I'm a reporter.
You might remember I covered
that robbery about a year ago.
- I don't remember.
- No?
Do you know the identity
of the girl in the river?
We can't comment
on an ongoing investigation.
- Did she have problems?
- I said no information is available.
- No comment.
- I don't think it was a suicide.
- What?
- Or an accident.
- Why is that?
- Because I found...
You must hand over
whatever you have found.
I will, I promise.
I'll be there in a couple of hours.
- Listen.
- I'll call you.
He's found something. This reporter
is the last thing I need now.
Where have you been?
Why don't you answer my calls?
- Hello, this is not...
- Who are you?
- Where is Ivana?
-My name is Stribor.
- I'd like to talk to you.
- Is she with you? Put her on the phone.
No, she is...
Listen, I am a friend.
I found Ivana's phone.
I can try to help you
if you are in trouble.
Hello?
A reporter called.
He is coming to tell me what you did.
- I did nothing.
- If you confess...
I did nothing wrong!
Check out my phone.
There are no others.
- Others?
- Other dead girls.
See? I need to go home now.
Let me go home.
There have been no others.
There are no others.
You are not going anywhere.
- Sit down.
- I need to go home.
Kožul, the guy who called in
about the body, took some photos.
He says there have been others.
- Did he confess?
- He's being evasive.
My neck is on the line here. You know
who will be appointed minister.
As soon as he is sworn in,
I'm out of here.
He took a photo of the dead girl.
It doesn't mean he killed her.
He is a weirdo.
Many things indicate
this was a violent crime.
We can't ignore that because
we have a new minister of police.
I don't want indications,
I want evidence. This is not evidence.
I can't implicate him before I search
his house or computer.
What evidence?
You said this was an accident!
How dare you talk to me like this?
I am sorry. I have a short fuse
these days. Trouble at home.
You are not the only guy
who has trouble at home.
- He's late.
- He'll be here.
- I hear he is a good reporter.
- Really?
I will have more information soon.
If the girl was killed,
you get to write three to five articles.
Great.
What are you going
to do about her phone?
I've got to hand it in. I need to go now,
they are waiting for me.
Wait, Stribor. Are you sure you want
to give them the phone?
I've made copies of everything.
They need it for the case,
I've got to be friendly.
All right.
Wait, Saša. I'll call you back.
Hello?
If you are a friend
and if you want to help,
meet me at the City in 20 minutes.
- Wait.
- Don't make me wait for you.
- I am Stribor. Are you Sanja?
- You're paying for my drink.
- I ordered a burger too, I'm hungry.
- Anything you like.
- Where is Ivana?
- She is...
Tell me where she is.
Why do you have her phone?
- I found it.
- Where?
By the river where she..
She is...
Her body was found yesterday.
She drowned. I'm sorry.
- Drowned? Who, Ivana?
- Yes
Never, she was a competitive swimmer.
- Jesus, he killed her.
- Who did? The guy you texted about?
- I can help you.
- You can't. You're fucking insane.
- Who is this guy?
- I told her not to tell him anything.
Why don't you tell me everything.
Are you in trouble?
Fuck.
If he knows I know...
Sanja!
Sergej, I need Nikolaj.
He's a former policeman,
he can help me find someone.
Hello, Olga Alexandrovna.
Nikolaj is not a private detective
and I have other plans for him.
Who are you looking for?
Somebody important?
My niece Katja is missing.
Olga Alexandrovna,
why do you need Kolja?
The chief of police is my good friend.
We'll deal with that.
Thank you but I can do it myself.
I don't understand.
I just don't need headlines like
"The Head of a children's charity
foundation has lost her niece".
All right.
Look, this is the last photo
posted by Katja.
I know where this is.
The Technikum night club.
- I'll pick you up in the evening.
- Okay.
Police. Stribor Kralj?
- What does that mean?
- Two words.
Don't play games with me.
He is in trouble.
You'd better tell me
where I can find him.
Here I am.
You don't want to upset
a pregnant woman.
Stribor Kralj.
You must be detective Kovač.
- What is this?
- It's OK.
It's not OK.
You failed to show up twice.
I miss appointments every day.
Come in, please. Come in.
Here it is.
You have messed up the evidence.
Your prints are all over the phone.
At least I found the phone.
I was just trying to cover a good story.
Give me a break.
A girl drowns in the river
and he wants to make a profit.
Her name is Ivana.
I don't know her last name.
I want to know what happened,
same as you.
Don't give me that.
I'll tell you what I know and I need
some insider information in return.
I can arrest you
for obstruction of justice.
- I did not kill her!
- Do you know she was killed?
- I located a friend of hers.
- What's her name?
Sanja.
Full identity of the source
known to your reporter.
The girl is scared to death.
She is on the run.
Why don't you call her
and see if she will talk to the police.
I'm not interfering with your work,
I just want to do mine.
Whatever I find,
you'll be the first to know.
Do we have a deal?
- Are we good?
- The coffee is good.
Excuse me, have you seen this girl?
Have you seen this girl?
- Hi. A drink?
- But you've said I can't.
Come on, you can have one.
Let's go, we have a thing.
Europe goes nuts about ones like you.
Gimme the backpack.
Well, let's take some pictures
for the... agent.
Believe me, you'll win Europe
in a couple of days.
Ready?
You have to be more loosened-up,
more uninhibited.
Can you lower your jacket
a little, like this, yeah.
And let's make your cleavage a little
lower, to have a better look.
As they say:
"Show the Slavic beauty to Paris".
- Can you show your breasts?
- What?
Just show your breasts. Why are you
so stiff? They're just breasts. Look.
You can touch it. I have breasts,
you have breasts. Show them.
- Listen, no breasts, no Paris.
- Hey.
Fuck off!
Bitch.
Fuck.
Hi. Please, tell me, have you seen
this girl? Her name is Katja, look.
No, I haven't, I rarely come here.
Looks like it's him.
- Who?
- Victor.
- Who's Victor?
- I don't know. He has a tattoo like this.
I'm Olga. This is Katja.
I know you. You were
at the party in the youth center.
I'm a folk dancer there.
And Victor teaches a photo course.
Do you know his surname?
Address, phone?
- No, I don't know.
- What's your name?
Yulia.
Here's my card. Call me,
if you run into him or Katja, OK?
Thank you.
Olga Romanchenko.
I'm home, mother.
- I've brought you some flowers.
- Rinse the vase.
I will.
You live alone,
you need to do your dishes.
How are you?
I wanted grandchildren,
not a divorced son.
There she goes. You got bigger problems
than my divorce.
You'll be bringing flowers
for my grave soon enough.
- Don't say that, the doctor said...
- Who cares about the doctor.
Fetch my pills, please. It hurts.
Don't give me that look,
give me my pills.
'll get them.
Dear God!
- Give me that. Give me all of them.
- No.
- Please.
- No way.
Forget it, no more.
Magda would give me the whole lot
and I would just go to sleep.
Magda is gone.
- Here you are.
- Lucky me.
Sergej, I need our photographer's phone
and address.
- His name is Victor.
- Why do you need him?
I think he is involved
in Katja's disappearance.
- Are you sure?
- Yes. Give me his number.
- I'll take care of it.
- I don't want you to.
Just give me his number.
Olga Alexandrovna, that's crazy,
don't you think?
How can this Victor be involved
in you niece's missing?
What are you doing?
- My love.
- We have a problem.
- A problem?
- Katja is missing.
- Missing?
- She's been gone three days. Four days.
I think a guy who works
for the Foundation has information,
but Sergej doesn't want to help.
- It's not true.
- Sergej!
I'll be glad to help.
I will find him and speak with him.
I will speak with him myself.
I just need his number!
Calm down! Calm down!
Sergej, if Olga needs something, do it.
OK?
Of course.
- Is that clear?
- Yes.
Olga, I'll call back in five minutes.
Let me check on Filip.
- And you will tell me everything.
- OK.
Filip!
You can use this.
I'm not asking for permission, I'm just
telling you what I'm going to do.
Media pressure is good,
especially from Zagreb.
This may force Jakić to let us open
a homicide investigation.
See? I'm useful.
Yes, Vesna.
Our great reporter says hi.
What? Where?
I'm on my way.
- What happened?
- Another girl was found.
- Is she dead?
- Yes.
- I'm coming with you.
- Not to a crime scene.
- What about our deal?
- I don't have time for that shit now.
Close to the spot
where the first one was found.
- I am with him. Vlado?
- Let him through.
Vlado? It's Sanja.
The friend of the other girl.
The one I told you about.
I met her yesterday.
She said she was in trouble.
Look at her now.
What have I done?
Fuck!
- She OD'ed?
- I think so.
My God, she was just a child too.
She did not OD, you'll see.
If you are right... You wanted this
to be a murder investigation.
There you have a murder.

THE SILENCE
Man.
She was still a child.
- Did you know this girl?
- No.
- No?
- No.
You have ever seen her before?
No, I haven't.
Do you have any children?
No.
- No children?
- No, I don't. Why?
- Bring him in.
- I haven't done anything wrong!
- I found her and called you.
- Easy, we'll sort this out.
We'll sort this out?
You will sort this out?
Ciao.
What about your meeting?
- You'll be late.
- I won't.
A girl was found dead in the Drava River.
- The police say this is all they've got.
- I saw the crowd by the river.
- You have an appointment
- I'll get there.
- Who is the victim?
- No ID. Some guy found the body.
- We need his name and story.
- I'm not sure he is a suspect.
He is. This will make a great story.

Stribor? Go.
Welcome, Olga Alexandrovna.

KYIV, UKRAINE

- Thirteen, fourteen. Maybe, twelve.
They are kids.
What have you done to them?
- Don't get upset, it's just..
- Listen to me.
The girls won't welcome our guests
looking like that. Understood?
Understood.
Thank you, girls.
- Where are you?
- In a meeting.
You are a bit late.
Mr. Horvati will join you shortly.
- Something to drink?
- No, thanks.
- We need to talk.
- About what? You are crazy.
When I am done with Horvati?
Come to me.
- Mr. Kralj.
- Hello.
- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you too.
- Coffee?
- No, thanks. I've had two this morning.
- There is some whiskey on the table.
- It's too early for whiskey.
- How are you?
- I'm fine.
- You know why I called you.
- I know, it's about your biography.
- Autobiography.
- An autobiography?
Yes, my autobiography.
Your autobiography.
He didn't mention that.

Thirty-five? Forty?
- Something like that.
- OK.
- I will pay you one hundred thousand.
- One hundred?
Is that OK? Mr. Horvati?
Ivan, I didn't come
to negotiate about money.
I want to author a book about a man
who is the future of Croatia
for the next decade or more.
Stribor,
let's sleep on it.
You made your terms clear,
I've made you an offer.
My grandpa used to say the morning
is wiser than the evening.
- My grandpa said the same thing.
- There you go.
- Do we know who the girl is?
- She had no ID on her.
She was about 15 or 16.

They won't.
It is either suicide or an accident.
Wait a minute, Vlado.
Seriously, do you think
this could be foul play?
I do.
Then keep digging.
But find something as soon as possible.
If you don't...
I know.
I understand.
Motherfucker.
It's you again.
So, you were riding your bike.
You saw the body and called us.
- That's all?
- Yes.
- Did you touch her?
- Yes.
- To check if she was...
- If she was alive?
- If she was real.
- Real?
Where did you touch her?
You will sleep here
and we shall talk more tomorrow.
Tomorrow I want answers from you.
Thumb? One word.
About us.
Standing up. Cutting grass?
- You are fat? Pregnant?
- Yes.
- I've got some errands to do.
- See you.
A baby!
- What are we going to do?
- What?
I should ask my boss for a full-time job.
You should.
- We'll be fine.
- I know.
Thank you.
Good evening.
A while ago I was a little scared girl
from a poor family.
A lot has changed since then,
but I'm still a scared little girl.
I was very lucky.
I've got a chance to change my life,
and I want many children to get this
chance, too.
And also I'm very happy
that so many concerned people
have come to my event today.
We can help kids. We can give them
a ticket for a better future.
So, let's do it together.
I want to welcome everyone to our
Romanchenko Foundation charity event.
And, also thank you, that you did not
come here empty-handed,
but with your wallets.
Because our foundation is nothing
without you.
So, thank you again.
You've helped us to launch six youth
centers, in Kyiv and all over the country.
But I know that we can do more together.
Enjoy your evening.
This is such a beautiful occasion.
And where is your husband?
I have a business idea for him.
This event is for kids,
not for business ideas. Excuse me.
Hi. Where are you? On your way?
It has already started.
I'm waiting for you.
What happened?
Are you at home?
Okay, I'll be right there. Yes. Bye.
What happened?
I don't know.
I need to go to my sister's.
- Now?
- Yes.
I think Sergej can handle it by himself.
Let's go.
What's happened?
Something's wrong with Katya?
Alina!
- You're late.
- The charity event dragged on.
- Guests didn't want to leave.
- I don't give a shit.
You'll be payed here.
Don't be late anymore.
OK.
How much will I get?
- How old are you?
- Sixteen.
Almost 16
You're 18.
Come with me.
- Maybe we should call the police?
- Alina.
Does she have a tracking app?
Please, think. Where can she be?
With a friend, maybe?
- She's met a boy, maybe older.
- A boy?
- She's 15.
- Were you any different?
Who is he? What's his name?
Where does he live?
I don't know.
I know nothing about him.
- Did you check her social media?
- Sure.
- She hasn't posted for two days.
- I know.
- We need to find this boy.
- Yeah. How?
- Are you okay?
- Nikolaj, you've worked for police.
Help us to find someone.
I don't know his name or age,
I know nothing about him.
- Olga, what happened?
- My niece Katya is missing.
- Have you filed a report?
- No, not yet.
My sister thinks she's with a boy.
- Can you help us find him?
- Yes, sure, but Sergej...
I'll talk to him.
Shit.
- Howdy!
- Show me.
Which one?
This.
Why such ugliness?
- Fuck. Ugly ones are easier...
- I'll make you ugly myself.
What have I paid you for?
You needed to find some flesh
and make good photos. What's this?
Yegor, I do my best, I need more time.
I want this one.
Okay.
- You have a week.
- Yegor, a week is too short...
If I don't get some flesh in a week,
I'll shove your camera up your ass.
- Understood?
- Understood.
Horvatić will be the Minister of Interior.
You can't refuse.
It's not about the job or money.
I made it perfectly clear.
You know what?
I want to do a story about this dead girl.
As a full-time reporter.
- Let's talk some other time.
- I have worked part-time for three years.
- Give me a full-time job.
- You know the ads suck.
You know the circulation.
You're making
a fortune on pre-election ads.
Running a newspaper
costs a lot of money.
I have none left for you. If you want
to write about the girl, do it.
- Seriously?
- Yes.
I'm going to write about the dead girl
but not for you.
- What do you mean?
- Just watch.
- Hello?
- Hey, how are you?
I'm fine. I'm calling about work.
Do you know about the dead girl
in the Drava River?
I thought I could write
a piece or two for you.
You're not covering the story
for a local paper?
Fuck them.
I can start immediately.
- A couple of pieces.
- Wait a minute.
If she was a suicide,
we cannot print much.
I know.
Why didn't she have an ID?
If she jumped into the river, where are
her things? It's two pieces at least.
First, write one.
Then we'll see if we need more.
Great. Thank you. By.
The deceased was 14 or 15 years old.
Or younger.
Cause of death: drowning.
No signs of violence.
Are you sure there is no signs
of violence?
What about substance abuse?
The toxicology report
will be ready in a couple of days.
She was pregnant.
And as I found no signs of violence,
I think this was no accident.
I think she took her own life.
- Pregnancy is embarrassing at her age.
- Embarrassing?
You say she killed herself.
She had no ID, no cell phone.
Absolutely nothing.
My job is to dissect a body
and tell you what I have found.
I found nothing
that would indicate murder.
V is a fool.
I can deal with that.
She'll be mad at you.
Let her deal with that shit
I'll call you later.
Don't do it, Ivana,
he's going to hurt you.
What happened?
Where are you? Call or text NOW!!!
Who is the father? Maybe he killed her
because she was pregnant.
Or her father found out
about pregnancy and killed her.
- Let's stick to the facts.
- What facts?
Go through the photos
of missing persons.
- I did.
- Maybe she was reported since.
I get all the reports on missing persons.
She has not been reported as missing.
It's the reporter.
No comments available.
Hello?
Hi, Stribor Kralj speaking.
I'm a reporter.
You might remember I covered
that robbery about a year ago.
- I don't remember.
- No?
Do you know the identity
of the girl in the river?
We can't comment
on an ongoing investigation.
- Did she have problems?
- I said no information is available.
- No comment.
- I don't think it was a suicide.
- What?
- Or an accident.
- Why is that?
- Because I found...
You must hand over
whatever you have found.
I will, I promise.
I'll be there in a couple of hours.
- Listen.
- I'll call you.
He's found something. This reporter
is the last thing I need now.
Where have you been?
Why don't you answer my calls?
- Hello, this is not...
- Who are you?
- Where is Ivana?
-My name is Stribor.
- I'd like to talk to you.
- Is she with you? Put her on the phone.
No, she is...
Listen, I am a friend.
I found Ivana's phone.
I can try to help you
if you are in trouble.
Hello?
A reporter called.
He is coming to tell me what you did.
- I did nothing.
- If you confess...
I did nothing wrong!
Check out my phone.
There are no others.
- Others?
- Other dead girls.
See? I need to go home now.
Let me go home.
There have been no others.
There are no others.
You are not going anywhere.
- Sit down.
- I need to go home.
Kožul, the guy who called in
about the body, took some photos.
He says there have been others.
- Did he confess?
- He's being evasive.
My neck is on the line here. You know
who will be appointed minister.
As soon as he is sworn in,
I'm out of here.
He took a photo of the dead girl.
It doesn't mean he killed her.
He is a weirdo.
Many things indicate
this was a violent crime.
We can't ignore that because
we have a new minister of police.
I don't want indications,
I want evidence. This is not evidence.
I can't implicate him before I search
his house or computer.
What evidence?
You said this was an accident!
How dare you talk to me like this?
I am sorry. I have a short fuse
these days. Trouble at home.
You are not the only guy
who has trouble at home.
- He's late.
- He'll be here.
- I hear he is a good reporter.
- Really?
I will have more information soon.
If the girl was killed,
you get to write three to five articles.
Great.
What are you going
to do about her phone?
I've got to hand it in. I need to go now,
they are waiting for me.
Wait, Stribor. Are you sure you want
to give them the phone?
I've made copies of everything.
They need it for the case,
I've got to be friendly.
All right.
Wait, Saša. I'll call you back.
Hello?
If you are a friend
and if you want to help,
meet me at the City in 20 minutes.
- Wait.
- Don't make me wait for you.
- I am Stribor. Are you Sanja?
- You're paying for my drink.
- I ordered a burger too, I'm hungry.
- Anything you like.
- Where is Ivana?
- She is...
Tell me where she is.
Why do you have her phone?
- I found it.
- Where?
By the river where she..
She is...
Her body was found yesterday.
She drowned. I'm sorry.
- Drowned? Who, Ivana?
- Yes
Never, she was a competitive swimmer.
- Jesus, he killed her.
- Who did? The guy you texted about?
- I can help you.
- You can't. You're fucking insane.
- Who is this guy?
- I told her not to tell him anything.
Why don't you tell me everything.
Are you in trouble?
Fuck.
If he knows I know...
Sanja!
Sergej, I need Nikolaj.
He's a former policeman,
he can help me find someone.
Hello, Olga Alexandrovna.
Nikolaj is not a private detective
and I have other plans for him.
Who are you looking for?
Somebody important?
My niece Katja is missing.
Olga Alexandrovna,
why do you need Kolja?
The chief of police is my good friend.
We'll deal with that.
Thank you but I can do it myself.
I don't understand.
I just don't need headlines like
"The Head of a children's charity
foundation has lost her niece".
All right.
Look, this is the last photo
posted by Katja.
I know where this is.
The Technikum night club.
- I'll pick you up in the evening.
- Okay.
Police. Stribor Kralj?
- What does that mean?
- Two words.
Don't play games with me.
He is in trouble.
You'd better tell me
where I can find him.
Here I am.
You don't want to upset
a pregnant woman.
Stribor Kralj.
You must be detective Kovač.
- What is this?
- It's OK.
It's not OK.
You failed to show up twice.
I miss appointments every day.
Come in, please. Come in.
Here it is.
You have messed up the evidence.
Your prints are all over the phone.
At least I found the phone.
I was just trying to cover a good story.
Give me a break.
A girl drowns in the river
and he wants to make a profit.
Her name is Ivana.
I don't know her last name.
I want to know what happened,
same as you.
Don't give me that.
I'll tell you what I know and I need
some insider information in return.
I can arrest you
for obstruction of justice.
- I did not kill her!
- Do you know she was killed?
- I located a friend of hers.
- What's her name?
Sanja.
Full identity of the source
known to your reporter.
The girl is scared to death.
She is on the run.
Why don't you call her
and see if she will talk to the police.
I'm not interfering with your work,
I just want to do mine.
Whatever I find,
you'll be the first to know.
Do we have a deal?
- Are we good?
- The coffee is good.
Excuse me, have you seen this girl?
Have you seen this girl?
- Hi. A drink?
- But you've said I can't.
Come on, you can have one.
Let's go, we have a thing.
Europe goes nuts about ones like you.
Gimme the backpack.
Well, let's take some pictures
for the... agent.
Believe me, you'll win Europe
in a couple of days.
Ready?
You have to be more loosened-up,
more uninhibited.
Can you lower your jacket
a little, like this, yeah.
And let's make your cleavage a little
lower, to have a better look.
As they say:
"Show the Slavic beauty to Paris".
- Can you show your breasts?
- What?
Just show your breasts. Why are you
so stiff? They're just breasts. Look.
You can touch it. I have breasts,
you have breasts. Show them.
- Listen, no breasts, no Paris.
- Hey.
Fuck off!
Bitch.
Fuck.
Hi. Please, tell me, have you seen
this girl? Her name is Katja, look.
No, I haven't, I rarely come here.
Looks like it's him.
- Who?
- Victor.
- Who's Victor?
- I don't know. He has a tattoo like this.
I'm Olga. This is Katja.
I know you. You were
at the party in the youth center.
I'm a folk dancer there.
And Victor teaches a photo course.
Do you know his surname?
Address, phone?
- No, I don't know.
- What's your name?
Yulia.
Here's my card. Call me,
if you run into him or Katja, OK?
Thank you.
Olga Romanchenko.
I'm home, mother.
- I've brought you some flowers.
- Rinse the vase.
I will.
You live alone,
you need to do your dishes.
How are you?
I wanted grandchildren,
not a divorced son.
There she goes. You got bigger problems
than my divorce.
You'll be bringing flowers
for my grave soon enough.
- Don't say that, the doctor said...
- Who cares about the doctor.
Fetch my pills, please. It hurts.
Don't give me that look,
give me my pills.
'll get them.
Dear God!
- Give me that. Give me all of them.
- No.
- Please.
- No way.
Forget it, no more.
Magda would give me the whole lot
and I would just go to sleep.
Magda is gone.
- Here you are.
- Lucky me.
Sergej, I need our photographer's phone
and address.
- His name is Victor.
- Why do you need him?
I think he is involved
in Katja's disappearance.
- Are you sure?
- Yes. Give me his number.
- I'll take care of it.
- I don't want you to.
Just give me his number.
Olga Alexandrovna, that's crazy,
don't you think?
How can this Victor be involved
in you niece's missing?
What are you doing?
- My love.
- We have a problem.
- A problem?
- Katja is missing.
- Missing?
- She's been gone three days. Four days.
I think a guy who works
for the Foundation has information,
but Sergej doesn't want to help.
- It's not true.
- Sergej!
I'll be glad to help.
I will find him and speak with him.
I will speak with him myself.
I just need his number!
Calm down! Calm down!
Sergej, if Olga needs something, do it.
OK?
Of course.
- Is that clear?
- Yes.
Olga, I'll call back in five minutes.
Let me check on Filip.
- And you will tell me everything.
- OK.
Filip!
You can use this.
I'm not asking for permission, I'm just
telling you what I'm going to do.
Media pressure is good,
especially from Zagreb.
This may force Jakić to let us open
a homicide investigation.
See? I'm useful.
Yes, Vesna.
Our great reporter says hi.
What? Where?
I'm on my way.
- What happened?
- Another girl was found.
- Is she dead?
- Yes.
- I'm coming with you.
- Not to a crime scene.
- What about our deal?
- I don't have time for that shit now.
Close to the spot
where the first one was found.
- I am with him. Vlado?
- Let him through.
Vlado? It's Sanja.
The friend of the other girl.
The one I told you about.
I met her yesterday.
She said she was in trouble.
Look at her now.
What have I done?
Fuck!
- She OD'ed?
- I think so.
My God, she was just a child too.
She did not OD, you'll see.
If you are right... You wanted this
to be a murder investigation.
There you have a murder.
