Are you 25 years old? - Yes.
IRENA MILYANKOVA
Was your father, Kiril Hristov, a con man?
No.
ZAHARI BAHAROV
I don't want to do this.
This will be the last time. - But you said the same before.
This will be the last time. We take the money and go to Rio.
Come on, Marto, it's not theft. We'll give it back one day.
VLADIMIR PENEV
Did you help your father in the robberies?
No.
MIHAIL BILALOV
Can I leave him for 10 minutes? Come over.
I don't know you mister. - What do you mean?
Mitko, from the workshop. Get inside.
When will you pick him up? - 10 minutes and I'll be back.
ALEXANDER SANO
Hey, boy! What's wrong? Wait, I'll call the nurse.
DEYAN DONKOV
The money!
KIRIL EFREMOV
Do you like pets? - Yes.
Are you afraid of dogs? - No.
Come here.
Didn't you hear what I said? Come here.
Come here. Come on, coward!
Stop, don't move!
What are you doing?
VENTSISLAV YANKOV
Do you see your father often? - Yes.
Did he hit you when you were little?
No.
Coward.
IVAYLO HRISTOV
I'm not a coward.
MARIAN VALEV as The Hook
Is it true you went to a correctional facility?
No.
Kid, have you had enough?
We'll move you to the sports school.
Go on, hit it. Hit it!
Up! Down! Hit it even harder! Coward! Move your feet!
Hit it! Go on!
Breathe! Breathe!
The coach said you're the best. - It's true.
Do you still want to be a cop? - That's my decision.
We have the right man.
He's in France, studying at the academy.
We will embed him afterwards.
The undercover officer has to be a different man 24 hours a day.
Were you a pimp in France? - Yes.
One of these men is an agent, can you guess who?
No one can recognize him.
You have to be part of the scenery even when you're alone,
when you're dreaming.
Screenplay TEODORA VASSILEVA GEORGI IVANOV
Welcome back! - Thanks!
What's next?
You'll have to go to prison.
I want you to talk like them. I want you to fight like them.
Director of Photography ANTON BAKARSKI
To live like them.
Now you need a completely new past.
Fights, robberies.
Director DIMITAR MITOVSKI
What's going on?
He tried to steal, so they're retaliating.
Bro, I'm your slave.
I was this close.
Last question. Do you cooperate with the police?
No.
Do you cooperate with the Organized Crime Unit?
No.
Great, cheat! - I hate it when you call me that.
Ten lies and the machine couldn't catch one.
Good. The easy part's over.
You're ready to go undercover.
UNDERCOVER
Original idea by DIMITAR MITOVSKI
It's 10 years of hard work.
Everything about Jaro and his gang.
Only I know some of the things.
How big are they?
I have no idea what you know about the mafia in Bulgaria,
they don't have a nucleus now.
They are small groups scattered around the country.
There are no groupings like VIS and SIC.
Twins brought him. What do we do with him?
Bring him in.
Oh, Chole, hi! Sit down!
Traviata, Chole. Verdi's most beautiful opera.
Jaro, I'm sorry. This won't happen again.
I need some time.
See these apples, Chole?
Across the world there are 7500 kinds of apple trees
and only 100 can be eaten.
Only 100, Chole. 1.33%.
It's worse when it comes to people.
Out of seven billion, just a hundred will do.
I know I disappointed you. Please give me a second chance.
Why are you shaking? Are you scared?
Chole, am I a monster? Have I ever mistreated you?
Boss, I didn't want to screw things up. I just want a last chance.
Screw up things. It can happen to anyone.
I gave you a job and you blew it. You're faithful to me, right?
If I give you a new job, you'll be more careful?
Of course, boss! - Alright!
With the Twins you'll have to pick up some dough in Borovets.
There won't be any problems. - Naturally! Come on over.
You seem quite tense.
Why don't you rest for a few days in the mountain? Ski a bit.
Call some chicks over. It's on me.
When you come back, we'll talk again.
Boss, I don't know what to say. - Don't say a thing.
Get going, I have cooking to do.
The photo is from '89. He's still a cop. Over intelligent.
The only mafia boss over 50 still alive.
No one knows where and when he holds his meetings.
He doesn't talk over the phone.
It's not clear what car he will get into.
What happened with the Shipters? How is the barter coming?
Everything's alright.
Alright? How much? Five to one?
Fifty of our kilos for ten of theirs.
Does that satisfy you? - They will agree to four to one.
The brown stuff's good. 70% pure. Everything's ok.
If you're satisfied. Fine.
This one is special.
Ivo, Jaro's right hand.
The only one he fully trusts.
He handles almost his entire business.
Besides, they say he's crazy. You have to be careful with him.
The people who met him
have scars for life.
How far can I go, if I have to?
You can do anything.
Except kill.
Is this okay? - Perfect.
Man, I thought I was done for.
And look how it turned out. Chicks, parties.
Hey, is that Jaro's piece? Great!
Let's smoke a cigarette.
Are you crazy, it's freezing outside.
Come on. I hate smoking alone.
Where's the car? - Near. About 20 minute walk.
Are you stupid? Why didn't you say so?
We could have stopped closer. - I really had to pee.
You're really stupid, man!
Nice collection.
This will interest you.
These are the Twins - Tisho and Niki. They are surgeons.
They break hands, cut ears, with great precision.
These are the negotiators. Loyal people.
Besides negotiations they are into murder too.
My guy, the Hair. He always manages to get away.
Your job right now - hang around him.
Man! - Hair!
I heard you got out. I've been waiting to see you.
You look great.
I'm getting ahead, man. I'm advancing in the world.
What's that? A wrong move and you'll blow your balls off.
Don't worry about my balls.
Have you been making it out?
I haven't stopped since I've been out.
What a machine! Great! That's what we live for.
Yeah. The dough from prison's running out.
You have anything? - Nothing, bro! Drought.
Something small. To move around.
The boss has shut himself up. He doesn't want anyone new.
Come on! You know that if something comes up,
you'll be the first I think of.
Take it easy.
Are you crazy? For a week?
Man, she's absolute trash.
Would you like to...? For good money. - I never pay for such things.
Don't forget me, if you've got a job.
In the entire country only I and the judge who signed know about you.
What if you get fired? - Me?
I'm eternal.
Do you know how many Ministers I've survived?
What if something happens to you?
Someone else will inherit your file and the mission will continue.
But if they find out about you... - They won't. I'm the best.
You have more things to read.
From now on we will meet rarely.
Use this phone.
Remember - you have no friends.
You are all alone.
You can get call girls or meet with dealers,
if you think this will help your image.
Cheat...
if you blow it, I'll kill you.
We have information about Tudjarov. - What?
A deal with some Shipters. They'll exchange drugs.
When and where? - The informer heard just that.
What are you telling me for? They do deals day and night.
Yes, but they're playing them for a fool.
Who? Speak clearly. - The Shipters have the upper hand.
Science fiction. Let me have it, I'll take a look.
Todorov. - Yes?
Anything to report? - No.
Again? - Go get some coffee then.
I will make him want to leave.
Who cares that his father is a general?
How far did you get?
I'm still dealing with the Ljulin casino.
I'm almost certain Tudjarov's laundering money there.
There are no clients, but there's a large turnover.
Keep at it.
Anything new? - Boredom.
Tonight at 10. You know the place.
I will call the police. - No. I don't want cops. Please.
Can you get up?
I can't come.
Nice place. - Nothing special.
The killer is the butler, she's his daughter.
Who was the guy? - A friend.
I beat him at chess and he's getting even.
I'll be fine.
What's your name? - Katya.
You lied.
I know you have no place to go, but you have to be gone by 8 tomorrow.
What happened? - I came across the guys
and had to hang out with them. -I wondered if you're alive.
I'm blending in. - I'll be waiting.
Now? - Now, the other place.
Albanian dictionary.
You'll need it, I secured you a path.
Jaro has decided to trade with some Shipters.
So, should I learn all of it? - Just the swear words.
Tell me more.
They will exchange amphetamines for heroine.
So? - You will but in.
Kukurets - a dish made of sliced intestines.
Listen carefully.
Mobiles.
Where's the other one?
Look. They're cloning organs in Brazil.
I'll go buy a lung.
You'd better buy a brain, you need at least one.
Hey, joker.
Would you like me to get you some teeth, you'll need them.
Let's talk.
Bro, I have nothing to offer.
You have a problem with the Shipters.
What you're talking about? - They were looking for a sniper.
They brought two Serbs yesterday. What's unclear?
That's complete nonsense. No one would dare hit Jaro.
I was worried about you.
Wait a second. Are you sure? - Is there another Jaro?
Bro, if you didn't get it right, we'll be in deep shit.
Are you there? - Yeah.
Do you see the boat? - It's in front of me.
If everything's ok, say "we're in the game."
If there's a problem: "everything's ok."
Got it.
Call me on this phone. - Alright.
I'm going in with the Twins, if I'm not back in 20 minutes, come in.
This can't be.
They've gone in. - What is it?
That's not important. It's going down now.
Do you know where? - Come on!
Move! Bitch!
Take it.
Let's see the goods.
How is it? - Good. I'll take it home.
What's up? - We're in the game.
So, you're ready?
Everything's fine.
Move, there's an ambush inside.
Who's he? - He's with us, don't worry.
Start it up! - Back off!
I'm not moving, until Ivo says.
If we don't go in right now, hell will break loose!
Get in, Hook!
Our life hung by a thread, but what a thrill.
Hair, go get me a paper. - Daily, sports?
What's your game? - I'm not playing games.
How did you know about the Albanians? - I heard.
Is that instead of thank you?
I'm asking you again: what's your game?
I told you. There's no game. I just want to work for you.
A bit impudent, aren't we?
You are serious, I'm serious, what's the problem?
Why don't you work for the Albanians? - Because they stink.
Other questions?
Why don't I like you?
Get going. - I don't want money.
I want something permanent.
Hang around. Something might come up.
I'll be here. Waiting.
Sit down.
Who's he?
We did time together. He's crazy.
Is he accurate?
I was in big trouble in prison. If it wasn't for him...
Hair, don't act smart with me.
You know who will get it, if this guy blows it?
No way. I bet on it.
Give me the paper.
Tell me what to do with him? - You decide, don't you?
I checked him out. Not bad.
He was a pimp in Toulouse, he got deported.
Car theft, beatings. He showed off in prison.
I have him tailed. We'll see. - Why don't you take him?
You keep complaining you haven't got enough people.
He's been trained already.
He's too perfect. Might turn out to be a squeak.
Or you're afraid he'll overshadow you? - Nonsense.
Martin is like a present to me. I don't trust in presents.
We urgently need someone. After Chole left us so suddenly.
Yeah, he didn't even say goodbye.
Upbringing.
Anything else about... - Martin.
His father went to prison a few times. No mother.
He went to a correctional facility,
from there to the sports school - boxing, custom-made.
Look at the situation we're in. Emigration, demographic crisis.
I'm fed up of Twins, Choles, Monkeys and Hairs, etc.
Ivo, I want people who think, not... - You're right.
We have to pay the Shipters back.
I have some ideas already. - You decide,
but I want legends to be told afterwards.
No problem.
What is it? - They haven't called me for 10 days.
Easy, they're checking you out. - I'm being tailed constantly.
They'll call. - If they've given up?
Should I call the Hair? - No, they have to make the next move.
Marto.
Wait a second.
I'm hungry.
Impressive file. Especially the ten pages from France.
Were you into anything else but girls?
Cars, bitches and credit cards.
Jesus! If I bring two prostitutes from Toulouse,
will they recognize you? - Even blinded.
Still unemployed? - Yes.
Good. The Hair and you will take a package.
He knows the details. I want to see you work.
Alright. - Don't blow it.
Who washed the knife?
What are we taking? - Hertz.
What is this place?
Do we need that? You could have given me one too.
You don't need one. You just watch and learn.
Why did you call me so late? - Ivo is crazy.
He'll put his hand in your underpants to check you out.
Don't worry, it's just an expression. There are no fags among us.
Stay here, I'll take a look.
Who gave you the goods, trash?
Who gave you the goods?
- It's mine.
Who gave you the goods, trash? - It's mine.
The goods were stolen, who gave you the goods?
Tell me, who do you work for? - I told you, it's mine.
Congratulations, you're hired.
What's that phone?
You don't call anyone, no one calls you.
I'm sorry, man.
Let's drink to the best guys in town.
Doll, you're too nice, you don't blend in somehow.
He can improve the level a bit. There are only freaks around me.
What did you do in France? - Barbeau.
What? Barbie? - Barbeau.
Pimp.
Are the French born faggots?
Their language is faggot's, their state's faggot,
are their pimps faggots, too? - I thought the Twin's the clown,
but it turns out it's you. You beat me up?
You don't like it? You want some more? Do you?
It's a bit harder when I'm not tied up.
Don't ever hit any of the guys, got it? - Enough, you're even.
You're not bad, you hit hard. What's going on, are we drinking?
Cheers!
Why did this report take so long?
Look at the last page.
Suicide.
He held the gun with his right hand,
there are no other fingerprints. - I see.
This Chole is a real acrobat. - Why?
It's impossible at this angle.
His hand should have been like this.
The ballistic report.
They're burying it. Suicide.
So it turns out Jaro's sowing dead bodies,
while we clean up after him.
Popov, you want to put a man inside.
Who would go undercover? Someone like this guy? A suicide?
Guys, have you seen Tarantino's cult film Reservoir Dogs?
The fucking Mr. Brown tells
how Madonna wrote her song Like a Virgin.
Who's he? - No one.
I gather he's with us now? - No one knows for how long.
And the black, enormous, sweaty tunnel digger catches it.
Man, don't even think about it. She belongs to the boss.
So, you were saying about the tunnel digger.
