BLACK WEDDING

God bless you.
-God bless you.

God bless you.

God bless you.
-God bless you, Father.

Are you working hard?
-As God commands. -Good, good...

How can I help you?
-I need some books. This is the list.

It's time for me to finally
finish my dissertation.

Father, we don't have these books.
-It's impossible.

Here, I'm checking. There's nothing.
-Are you sure about that?

They don't exist.
I've never heard of them.

That doesn't mean they don't exist.
Go check it out, please.

I will, but don't get your hopes up.

Father, could you see
if we have these books?

Who asked you for this?
-A monk. He's in the hall, waiting.

He says he needs it for his PhD.

He was just here.

I didn't know you were interested
in these things.

The patient is from that region
and I think

he had some connection with it.
-He probably did.

Folk beliefs are
deeply rooted there.

You are aware that
Christianization has not been

fully implemented with us.
Especially in isolated areas.

The report says one of the witnesses
said the patient was under a spell,

that some witch from the village
literally cast a magic spell on him,

and the consequences were the loss of
common sense that led to the crime.

When you observe Vlach magic from
a purely anthropologic point of view,

you realize that it has
such a status in the society

because it's practiced
in a foreign language.

We don't understand it
and that makes it scarier.

And don't forget that those
are rural parts without churches,

but a priest from a larger village
comes to them only on holidays.

They have their own version of faith
they draw from ancient times.

And the latter you sent me... I don't
know exactly what it is "catabasis".

Is it a theological term?

I can only surmise
how this has come about.

Anabasis is Xenophon's
military-historical work

and literal translation from Greek
is an Ascension.

Catabasis would
probably be the opposite.

A plunge, a downfall,
something like that.

So it has nothing to do
with the Vlach magic?

There's no direct relation to it,
but what you need to know is

that the Vlach magic
doesn't have any canon.

There are no rules. Everyone
implements it in their own way.

Rituals vary from a witch to a witch.

What does that mean?

Well, that means
anything is possible.

We'll never be able to get
a complete insight into it.

The only thing you could do is
to go to the witch.

Although, that's not it.

Or you could start witchcraft
yourself. What can I tell you?

You again.
-Your daughter is in great danger.

Excuse me?
-You have to save the child.

Don't you mention my child!
-Has she bled?

What did you say?
-Did your child get her period?

You're going to court for this,
you sick bastard.

Is your child baptized?

If you come near me again, I'll call
the police, you old pedophile!

You have to act, Natasha.
-They are going to act on your ass in jail.

It has begun...
-You freak!

The love for football he could
inherit only from me. Run!

Faster, faster, faster!
Faster, there's no time, let's go!

This crime isn't just an act
of aggression of a crazy man.

There's a higher method there.

There's a higher method
in these roosters' game

then there was in that idiot's
massacre.

I'm troubled by this catabasis.

Petar, we've already
talked about this.

He repeated that word.
-And what about that?

No one sees the obvious. It's like
there's some force in this country

that pulls out the worst evil
out of people.

Oh, welcome to Serbia, Petar.
-That's that catabasis?

That word in the Serbian language
has more synonyms,

history, politics, football...

What happened in '76?
I'm looking for something

and I've come across some
restrictions in the Archives.

The Archive burned down during the
bombing of the Federal MIA in '99.

And now we're asking for help
from those idiots, fuck them all!

Okay, do you remember
anything from 76?

There was the European football
championship in Belgrade.

We paid special attention to the
Germans...

No, that's not that for sure.

Marko, could you get me into the
hospital so I can see the killer?

Are you insane?
-Just for a little while.

I need to check something
and I'm letting him go forever.

All right, I'll see what I can do.

But don't bother me with that
anymore, is it clear?

Thank you. Let me know.

I doubt that you are normal.
-What's the matter now?

God knows how much time you spend
on those figurines of yours.

How much money you waste into
that shit. -What do you care?

What do I care...
Why don't you do some sports, man?

I've invited you a million times
to play football with us.

Three times a week
I go to the gym and run.

You're going to play football

so you can drink a beer
at the pub afterwards.

You're not athletes,
you're alcoholics.

Fool, I don't drink beer at all.

You know I can tell
every time you lie.

What did I lie about?

Every time you lie,
you scratch your nose.

Don't talk bullshit.

What are you laughing at?!

So where's the small cup?
-Right away.

Didn't I say I was coming?
-Well, you didn't ask for coffee.

That goes without saying.

Sekulovic put out
the smoking warning. -Really?

Did you find anything on that priest
whose photos I forwarded to you?

I did.
-You did.

Spit it out. -The man
on the photo is Father Tihon.

His civil name is Bogdan Radichanin,
born '58, parent's names unknown.

He grew up as an orphan and was tied
to the Church from an early age.

He studied Theology here in Belgrade.
We have him in the Archives,

but his dossier is
marked as "Classified".

It concerns some event in '76.
I couldn't find anything about it.

He was seen today in the Archives
of the Serbian Orthodox Church.

Our man at the Church told us.

You are leaving?
-Let's go. This coffee sucks.

May I help you?

Ciric, Intelligence Service.
My associate has already contacted you.

What do you know about this man?
-He was here.

I've already told your colleague
everything.

I know that man.
I think his monastic name is Tihon.

Unfortunately, that's all I know.

Why don't you ask
in the Patriarchate?

That's where you'll get all
the answers you need. -Thank you.

Mr. Ciric, I hope you haven't been
waiting in the hall for too long.

I was told that it was
an urgent matter.

What's so important?
How can I help you?

Do you know him?

I knew him.
-Father Tihon? -Yes, he is.

But in fact, he is not.
-I don't understand.

It's an internal matter
of the Church.

He's stalking a woman.
Follows her everywhere.

She was forced to request
police escort.

I'm here to see if you might...
-That man is not a priest.

What do you mean?

He was excommunicated from the
Church a few years ago.

As I can see, he doesn't accept it.
We'll try to take care of it.

And why was he excommunicated?

I repeat, that's our internal matter.

The Church must protect
its reputation.

We need to purge our ranks
from time to time,

because various people infiltrate.

Being from the Intelligence Service,
you must know what I'm talking about.

And how did he manage to infiltrate
when he was adopted as an orphan?

He was part of the Church
from his early childhood.

You are well informed.

But it is no mystery.

At one point, he simply
swerved off the road. -How so?

Let's just say he started
working on his own.

How is Tihon connected
to the events from '76?

I don't know what
you're talking about, Sir.

Thank you for your visit.

Sleeping like a baby,
though he killed 12 people.

What's your assessment?

I should know what the expert is
thinking. -Inspector...

I really appreciate your work,

that's why I called you
for this case.

Even if this bastard
gets life imprisonment,

that would still be
a jackpot for him.

If it were up to me...
-It's not up to you, that's the thing.

Go to hell.

Did she have her supper?

All right.
She has to do the maths.

Let her send me the photo of how
she tidied up her closet. Proof.

I don't know.
I won't stay too long. Bye.

That zealot is constantly stalking me.
I don't know what to do.

The Church disavowed
and excommunicated him.

I mean, he's not crazy, but...
He's not normal either.

But they said they'd take care of it.
-And you believe them? -I do.

I don't trust them.

Ok, I get that.
But I'm asking you to trust me.

As for Mitar, hypothetically
he has one more murder left.

He's missing half of his brain, and
you're still taking that seriously.

It's a village, a different world.
Gastarbeiter, Vlachs,

there's a lot of stuff there.
-And a lot happened.

You can't conclude everything
by deduction.

Then why are you trying
to explain all this?

Wait. Let's say
that Tihon's theory is correct.

You have an environment
where there are certain beliefs

and there's still a strong influence
of the otherworldly on the people.

You don't need anything otherworldly
to kill one another.

Mitar lived in an environment
where there are these beliefs,

so he fell under its influence.

Like Goebbels said, a many times
repeated lie becomes the truth.

That Tihon knows
something we don't.

They wouldn't have removed him
if he didn't stumble onto something.

They'd have kept him close then.
-You saw the autopsy report.

It's absolutely impossible for
the first shot to be lethal 12 times.

Especially when the man has never
held a gun before that morning.

You're saying something otherworldly
was guiding the bullets?

I'm saying that I've encountered the
influence of Vlach magic many times

and I'm sure the police had
missed something.

I'm going to that village tomorrow
to check it out myself. -Nonsense.

It's no magic, but the consequences
of socioeconomic relations.

Science dealt with it. You're an expert.
You're in a serious business.

You still seem
to be thinking rationally.

Why are you insisting on this crap?
-This is not crap.

Okay, think what you want.

Tihon shouldn't be put away.
He can help us.

So help each other,
you don't deserve better.

Well, I've already started
working on that.

He said something had started, too.
-What did he say?

He said: "It has begun".
-What does it mean?

I don't know.
Probably some Vlach dance.

You grab each other's hands and dance.
You don't deserve better.

Kids, get into the house!

They're not answering.

I don't care if they won't answer.
Call again.

Maybe I made a mistake.
-What mistake did you made?

I didn't ask them about funding
as agreed.

They decide these things on the Board.
I just sent the invoice,

as if it was all already decided.
-Have they read the project contract?

It doesn't say that it's their obligation.
-What doesn't say?

That it's their obligation.

All right, I'll solve
the financial part now,

and you make sure we don't lose them
in the future because of such shit.

You two have softened up a lot,
we'll talk more about this. Hello?

What?
I'll be right there.

You've arrived.
-What happened?

She was in the bathroom
and just fell. I came and...

That's my child.
I want to see her. -Easy.

What's wrong with her?
-She is stable, we're doing tests.

What's going on with my kid?
-She's in good hands, calm down.

When will I be able to see her?
-A bit later.

Everything will be alright.
Go out, get some fresh air. Go ahead.

Without me being guilty of anything,

they forbade me to leave
my place of residence.

I can't leave the village,
and I'd like to leave forever.

It will never be the same
around here.

Could you help me?
-You want me to help you?

How?
-Arrange for them to let me go.

At least to let me go to Belgrade.

I'll see what I can do.
-Thank you.

What's going on in the village?
-Nothing. People keep quiet.

They're scared.
They run away from each other.

I'm the only one they keep blaming
as if I had helped him.

It's common. They heard
I had been interrogated a bit longer

and they are making up stories now.

You know what this is?
-That's a heavenly candle.

That must be for
that waitress Jelena.

How do you know?

She's the only one who went to
the other world without the light.

She didn't have any, poor thing,
so they've made it for her.

It's a custom,
44 lights for 44 martyrs.

I saw some wreaths
on the Krinulovic's house.

Was there supposed to be a wedding
before this happened?

They put wreaths on?

21st century, for Christ's sake...

I thought we'd advanced
as a society.

It's been about 15 years since
they were forbidden to do that.

But, there you go.
-Banned to do what?

You don't know
what's going to happen?

Everything is different here.
-That's clear to me.

I found this at Mitar's house...
-Get that away from me!

Put it away! I don't want it
in my house! -Okay.

I'm not gonna have it in my house.
That's what I was talking about.

And that big shot cop is making
a fool out of me,

like I'm some redneck.

If you want to see
what is going on here,

you have to go
to the cemetery tonight...

See for yourself. -What am I
supposed to see in the cemetery?

There's a custom here...

It's called...

The black wedding.

I'm going to my mom's.
I'm taking her meds.

I'll be back tomorrow.

Send my regards to your mom.

Natasha! -You wraith!
I'm calling the police now. -Wait.

I know about you, even
the Church renounced you.

You have to open yourself up.
What you don't believe, exists.

Get away from me. -Take this.
-Go away! -Take it!

Get fucking lost! I'm calling
the police. You're screwed!

Lord Jesus Christ,
teacher of wisdom,

please open the eyes of my heart,
so that I may listen to Your word

and understand it,
and create Your holy will,

which is revealed in it to us
sinful and foolish people.

Lord God my Savior,

since you came to earth
to seek and save the lost,

do not hide Your
commandments from me,

for I also perish in the darkness
of ignorance of Your law,

but open the eyes of my mind

to understand the wonders
of Your teaching,

and tell me the unknowns
and the secrets of Your wisdom.

I trust in You, my God,
to enlighten my mind and reason

with Thy light of Your knowledge

so that I would not only read
what is written, but also do it.

I pray to You, and with tears
belonging to You I cry:

Lord, enlighten me, teach me,
enlighten me,

to read Your holy word and
the lives of Your Saints not on sin,

but on renewal and enlightenment,

on the sanctification
and salvation of my soul,

and on the heritage
of eternal life. Amen.
