Original subtitles

Drilling speed 2,000 RPMs.

10 meters to contact with the Geological Foundation in 3, 2, 1.

Activity increasing.

Mr. Aleksandrovich, this is the Geological Foundation of the city.

If it splits...

The diamonds will be mine.

Felix, say something!

Because of us, the city will collapse.

Stop the drilling, for God's sake!

Proceed with the drilling.

Its speed is decreasing.

1,800 RPMs.

1,100. There's not enough power, sir.

Then turn everything all the way up.

Start with the reactor blocks.

Increasing the maximum power of the reactor blocks.

The drill is still going down.

500 RPMs.

200 RPMs.

Completely stopped now.

Viktor Aleksandrovich, nuclear power is completely hopeless.

We need the nanocatalyst.

It will be able to produce a million times more energy.

Development of the nanocatalyst started back in Soviet times.

The project was terminated.

However, to this day, the nanocatalyst still remains stored in some forgotten laboratory.

We must find it at all costs.

What the hell is this place?

I don't see it on the map.

Damn it. Is that a car?

Unbelievable.

We could probably get 10 grand for it.

How did it get down here?

I really have no idea.

What I do know is we'll need a crane.

But Kalich asked us, though, to report everything.

Do you really think we should?

This isn't what they're looking for.

A Voska?

Split it with me.

Yeah.

Oh, man, what do we have here?

Very nice proportions.

I can tell she'll be an expensive date by the looks of that body.

Fast food just won't cut it.

I'd probably take her to a nice restaurant.

Give her a handbag from Milan.

Take her to see a show.

Give her seven red roses.

I guess I'd have to throw a little conversation into the mix.

Then I've got her.

Whatever you say.

I can prove it to you.

Think I should?

Brand new Mercedes?

Yeah, classy, huh?

Want a ticket for a spin?

You wish.

What the hell?

Here, take the keys, driver.

So, where are we heading, Max?

Surprise me.

Anywhere you want.

All right.

Hey, pull over.

New girl.

Do you have a name?

Nastya.

And I'm Maxime.

Want a lift?

I'd rather you not lift me, but I could use a ride home.

I told you, now just give me two weeks.

And let me introduce you to...

Dimitri.

My driver.

Pleased to meet you.

Likewise.

I was just telling Dimitri about Venice.

I bet you've been to Venice before.

Then I'll take you.

It's not a problem, I can book the tickets right now.

As I was saying to my driver, Venice is...

Thank you, honey.

Exquisite.

Pop, how did you and mom meet?

How? However all parents meet, I guess.

Oh, quit lying.

Your father used to take me around town on the train at night.

He'd pull up to the library, honk and flash three times to say,

Come on out.

Oh, yeah, now I recall.

No one had cars back then.

But that tram was basically ours.

Well, I guess I'm not that lucky.

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday, Dima, my handsome son.

It's time to do much good and grow stronger.

Happy birthday.

Happy birthday!

Dima, let's dance.

Tanya, you're supposed to dance when you get a letter.

Yeah, but you should when you get a card too.

What's she talking about?

Tanya, too soon.

I guess it won't be a surprise.

Probably should grab your license.

Dima, don't miss the bus.

Daddy got in the car.

Whoa, no way.

You got a car all right.

Well, I know it's not new, but...

Oh, a paint job, some elbow grease, she'll be like brand new.

Not too bad.

Just not bad?

Didn't you know Putin had that kind of car?

Now you can drive those friends of yours.

Mm-hmm.

Go on.

That a boy.

Yo, Dima.

I really like your ride, dude.

Huh?

Yeah, right.

Let's go.

Help an old man get on the bus, won't you?

Hey, we just met and you're tickling me.

Oh, I remembered this book. Dima and company, they would draw these stars on the gates of houses.

Okay, just get in, sir.

Where the old people live.

Wait, wait, wait, let me...

Hey, don't forget it.

It's not the hardness of the soil, it's simply how determined you are.

If you're not ready to be the first, you'll most assuredly be the last.

Wait a moment, we have walking proof here.

I'm really sorry about that.

But this old man asked me for help getting on the bus.

Yeah, right. Good excuse.

Respectful.

How you can do that for a person?

Would anyone have done otherwise?

Who would not help him?

Just push him to the side and ignore him in order to make it to my speech.

How about this?

What if you were already running a little late, but could still make it to class if you were quick?

How about then?

All right, well...

A step further now.

Now...

I'll give you a million dollars in cash.

Who won't help a stranger in need for such an enormous amount like that?

To be able to make it to my lecture.

Well done.

I'm sorry, young man, but the voting is finished.

Yes, but I have another question.

How about that money in advance?

Then I just won't help anyone next time.

Why not?

Then that will be my end of the bargain.

You won't help.

And with that, this concludes my lecture.

Mr. Aleksandrovich!

Please take it back. I was joking.

You should know I wasn't.

More importantly, you get the point.

Sheep don't survive living amongst wolves.

You're alone in this world.

You shouldn't expect people to help you, so you shouldn't have to help them.

Calling an ambulance is free of charge.

Please, just take it.

The wealthy have their business and we have ours.

She's a beautiful girl, but another man claims her as his woman.

Do you at least have a car?

Now you're getting it.

Maybe you should take the money and buy yourself a Mercedes.

You can drive your girl around.

But maybe you're right.

After all, I started with nothing too.

How did you start with nothing?

I sold flowers.

So how much exactly do I make?

Well, you won't make any money unless you're quick enough.

Do you think you've really got it in you, kid?

Come back and ask me when you've proven yourself.

Well, how much can I earn then?

If you're quick enough, then a bunch.

That kid better watch where he's going.

Human man, hold the elevator, please.

I'll send it right back down to you.

Viktor Aleksandrovich, I've cross-referenced everything.

It's the laboratory we're looking for.

The nanocatalyst must be in there.

What happens next, Viktor Aleksandrovich?

The sky will be filled with diamonds, that's why.

Afternoon, Dr. Felix Petrovich.

Hello, Mr. Aleksandrovich. Have you located it?

The nanocatalyst doesn't seem to be here.

However, there is still one container of nanofuel.

Is this enough to build a new prototype?

It's difficult to say for sure.

We'll need to do some more research.

The catalyst is definitely here.

It's a device in this car.

What happened to the car down here?

What kind of car?

Gaz, a Volga.

How could it have gotten down here?

We'll get it, Viktor Aleksandrovich.

Are you sure?

Not very much. Is this just for a week?

I can't give you very much.

You should have been able to deliver more.

You gotta move your ass, Dima.

Dima, hold on. I need a lift.

I can't, Pop.

What's wrong?

I've got flowers to deliver.

Well, then let me help you with them.

Is this the one?

Nah, not this. Too rusty.

Let's go then.

What's wrong with my car? Have you looked in there?

I've heard of a man who sold a 38 Bentley for a small fortune.

So maybe you can.

Yeah, with a Bentley.

Believe me, they have their history and us, we have ours.

Pop, wait. Don't interfere with it.

Someone help me.

Give it back.

Thank you so much.

Say you're sorry.

Piss off.

Why do we always have to meddle in other people's business?

Let's go. I've got work to do.

Sometimes work can wait.

Hot shot.

Well, what do you know? Follow it.

What you did won't change the world.

You can't prove that.

He could be in a gang.

What do you think will happen if they come after you?

You would help, wouldn't you?

Pop, you're just like an old tramp.

Potting around in your same old tracks.

Stop the car here.

I bothered you enough.

Should we follow that guy?

No. If we do, we might lose the Volga.

I told him not to interfere.

It's probably his gang.

Looks like trouble.

Turn over here. Looks like a shortcut.

That's exactly what happened, Victor Alexandrovich.

So it flew away.

Yes, sir.

A flying car.

I'm sure.

Impossible.

I wouldn't kid you.

It probably bounced up from a hump then?

Maybe, but it doesn't explain how it got on a roof.

Isn't that something, though?

Who'd put the catalyst to such a pointless use?

Idiot romantic idealists.

How is it supposed to be used, sir?

It must be used for drilling!

Victor Alexandrovich, I promise you, sir.

And how the hell will you do that?

Flowers.

A bunch of flowers were in his car.

He probably works for the local places.

Interesting.

Interesting.

There's one, two, three, and four.

I don't think I want to play anymore.

Is that it?

Oh, I give up.

My move.

Hey.

Shouldn't you get changed for dinner?

Pop, where'd you buy the Volga?

It stopped working?

Pop, the car flies.

Ah, really?

Be careful, sweetie.

You could get into an accident.

Pop, I'm serious, it does.

Then that's great.

Couldn't have worked out better.

Business man.

Hush up.

He's going to school and working.

It must be tough for him.

You could talk to him.

The median are items in the middle.

In statistics, the median would be the middle value in a series.

We could sort all of the students in this room.

For example, in ascending order according to height.

Eventually, someone will be the first.

Do you know where I can find someone who owns a record player?

Hmm?

Ah, you could stop by the club and see my man Ivan.

How do I get in?

Hmm.

I guess I could get you in.

We could overcome the attraction of love.

We could overcome the attraction of love.

We could overcome the attraction of love.

Performed by Mikhail Yelazarov and Pavel Perepelkin.

We could overcome the attraction of love.

We could overcome the gravity of the earth, but we could not overcome the attraction of love.

We could overcome the gravity of the earth, but we could not overcome the attraction of love.

Yes, yes, for a while now.

Ah, a while.

It began when we found a crystal in a soil sample from the moon.

And it turns out that crystal could completely transform the molecular composition of any substance.

So what we did, we used it to efficiently increase fuel power.

A million fold.

We called it the nanocatalyst.

It was invented by Mikhail Yelizarov.

We hoped that the nanocatalyst could help create a new type of engine.

An engine that would allow any car or any machine to just fly up into the air.

But we were wrong. Volga never could fly.

It never could fly? Could... what are you talking about?

I personally carried out all the tests back then, but it was... probably faulty.

And that was it. The whole project was shut down. Yelizarov moved on.

Young man, may I take a look at your credentials, please?

Wow, would you look at the time. Well then, yep, I should get going.

Could you answer one more question? What sort of fuel did you use in the Volga?

Gasoline. Just regular gasoline.

It was ideal because the nanocatalyst converted it. It created its own nanofuel.

Okay, goodbye.

Thanks again. What if the nanocatalyst was turned off?

Turned off? What would happen?

For such a case, there is some extra nanofuel on reserve in a small container.

It's not much, but it'll power about 30 minutes of flight.

You have a good day.

Dmitry.

Huh?

I think you should... take this with you.

It was written by Yelizarov himself.

It has all the instructions.

Thank you. This should help me with my research.

Hold on.

Shh. Be safe.

Thank you. I really appreciate it.

To efficiently increase the power of fuel a million fold, we called it the nanocatalyst.

Hey, Mr. Mamedovich.

2009, 19th of October.

Dmitry Makov received two bouquets of red tulips.

Plus, two baskets of chrysanthemums, white.

And six baskets of tea roses.

You lost all of those.

Baram, let me explain exactly what happened.

Criminal code 160.

Pilfering and embezzlement are punishable by incarceration for up to six whole years.

I'll make it up to you.

Yes, Baram?

I'm stuck in traffic. What do you want me to do?

What am I supposed to do? Fly over?

I'll be right over, then.

Okay.

Instruction manual.

Let's see here.

Seatbelts. Those are for pansies.

In order to switch into service mode, pull the Y key.

And click it sharply back into place.

To hell with it.

For vertical takeoff, activate the lower boosters.

Using switch number five...

and switch number nine.

The intensity of the front and back boosters can be adjusted using the right and left pedals respectively.

Okay, that sounds simple enough.

Well, maybe not.

Must have overlooked something.

For takeoff, push both pedals simultaneously.

Wings.

No kiddo. I'd sell my soul for one, though.

Okay, landing. Landing.

In case of a system failure while in flight, the emergency parachute will open.

What parachute? Where's the landing switch?

All right, switch eight is used to extend the landing gear.

Dammit, where's switch eight?

Okay, landing.

Good afternoon. I've got a flower delivery.

Please sign here.

I see your TV is out.

Yeah, it just happened.

I'd check the antenna.

Thank you very much.

Get ready to be the first.

Did you go here?

This one?

That's all jammed up.

What's that supposed to mean?

We're in Moscow, not the mountains.

I will fire you in a heartbeat.

That's for you.

How are you able to do your deliveries so quickly?

Well, I'm not a tram, Mr. Mehmetovich.

Whatever.

You missed your flight.

Damn, it's looking good.

Hey. Hi.

Nasty, I downloaded a couple of new tunes on my iPhone. Check it out.

Damn it.

Damn battery.

It's not important.

You can check out this cool video, then.

You got an iPhone?

Yeah.

Take yours.

A gift?

I bought it.

Did you get yourself a new car, too?

Eh, the iPhone doesn't work so good.

I'll get a Vertu, probably.

Texting on the iPhone is really difficult.

The battery is super weak.

Let's go out someplace.

That's unexpected.

Let's go somewhere unexpectedly.

It sure is something.

Are you sure it's not too expensive?

Yep.

Well, actually...

Ready to order, sir.

Uh...

I'll have the usual.

Excuse me, sir?

Well, first and second courses.

Mm-hmm.

Um, I'll have the same thing, then.

I think I can trust leaving it to your judgment.

I've actually never been here.

There aren't any restaurants like this in Nizhny.

You're not from Moscow?

No.

Just renting an apartment.

Ah, so you live alone.

Maybe.

I still live with my folks.

Um, that's not bad.

It's all right.

I don't mind.

To our date.

Are you ready for the final exam yet?

If you want to study together, I'll help you.

I'll explain everything easily, I promise.

What would happen if you fail?

Then I probably...

might have to move back to Nizhny.

That won't happen.

You have my word.

I say we leave now.

No dessert?

It's okay.

What a coincidence.

Good evening.

Mr. Alexandrovich.

A rather fancy place for dinner.

I'll wait for you outside.

Okay, got it.

Nice to see you.

My pleasure.

I wanted to thank you for your advice.

What you told me the other day at the university.

You can't just expect things to happen.

Every man for himself.

That's the right spirit, boy.

You're doing very well.

Thank you so much.

Goodbye.

Thanks again.

Dima, don't forget...

these flowers.

I noticed you at that lecture.

Remember?

I noticed you too.

Three flashes and rings.

Come on out.

Well, how about that?

Weird.

Papa did the same thing to call my mother out.

Was your father a tram driver?

Uh-huh.

If I get my own car and I call you out the same way my dad did...

would you?

Well, it's possible.

Well, this is my place.

Yeah?

All right.

And there's dessert.

Ah, Speed Demon.

What's up?

Making progress.

You're becoming my favorite.

Shouldn't there be more?

Oh, come on, man.

I should be making more than you make.

Mr. Rometovitch.

What happens if the competition wants to make me an offer?

There ain't no competition.

To compete with you would be crazy.

To hell with competition.

I wonder what they'd come up with.

Hey, who's that kid that's driving that Volga?

He's faster and makes way more deliveries.

Huh?

That won't happen.

Can't say I didn't warn you.

Whoa.

Excuse me.

Looking for fresh, beautiful flowers?

Come, have a look.

We'll deliver flowers to Moscow and the Moscow region.

Talk to me.

So tell me who's the one in that Volga delivering flowers.

In a Volga?

There's no Volga here.

You sure?

I've never even been near a Volga.

Dima.

How are you?

So look, I was thinking about the...

Well, I think both of us can agree that you're probably right.

No, I can't afford it now.

How about next month then?

It's a dead end. This was the last place.

You just hope that you won't become a dead end.

Maybe we should try to track down that older, gray-haired one.

He had a run-in with that street kid.

So?

I think I know him. I always see him in my neighborhood.

So you took Noski out, huh?

Yes, I did.

How about you go back to your tram and find someone poor like you?

You can't afford her. She's mine.

All right, Max, just calm down.

Did you do it with her? Come on, tell me.

Yeah, so?

We went to a restaurant and then back to her apartment.

You think you're the only one who has money?

Hey, Pop.

Hi, Dima.

Things shouldn't go on like this.

Okay, okay.

Take care, son.

I think that's the guy.

Excuse me.

Good evening.

Mind if I ask you something?

Do you remember who drove you here in the Volga a couple of weeks ago?

Relax, Grandpa. I'm only looking for him.

Something wrong?

Excuse me, I have to be somewhere.

He's hiding something.

Is that him?

No, it ain't.

How come?

It's not him.

You better not be screwing with us.

It looked like the guy.

I'll be going now. Excuse me.

It was a simple mistake.

Get in the car.

Jackass.

What do you want?

I wanted to apologize.

Jackass.

Yeah, Barb.

Yeah, but for an extra fee.

I did that already.

Young man. Young man.

Yeah, it was earlier today.

Please help, there's a man who's been hurt. It looks very bad.

Yeah, don't worry about it.

It's an emergency.

Calling an ambulance is free.

I'm sorry, kid.

Had we been called sooner.

You're going to take daddy's place now.

Putting dishes in the washer.

Helping everyone.

Just like daddy.

Ha! Ha!

You would help, wouldn't you?

Please help, you must come and help him.

Calling an ambulance is free.

Vyabka, 211 just arrived.

Pro-4 using the street, 130.

341, Vyabka, start the risk of operation.

341 on our way.

Arrival time, 10 minutes.

We need backup over here on the east side of town.

We have a large building on fire.

There's a small one on the upper level.

No! My dad! My dad is in there!

Let me through!

There's a report of a child on the seventh floor.

Vyabka!

Please clear the way immediately.

Attention, attention please.

Please clear the way immediately.

Clear the way.

Please clear the way and return to your homes.

The cold is making your cheeks sweat.

It looked like a custom-made car with rockets attached to it.

Something black just flew right on by me.

I think it was like over there.

It's probably a citizen who wants to help us.

With fighting organized crime or something.

All I know is that thing is pretty crazy.

For example, I'm walking and boom!

It comes and scoops me right up in the air.

I just don't get what it means anymore.

Hey! Hey!

My bag!

Stop! Please!

Help!

I've got everything in there!

The student area of Moscow.

The car has most recently been given the nickname Black Lightning.

As you can see in this very rare close-up shot,

the driver behind the wheel appears to be a young male.

Black Lightning disappeared as fast as it came.

So there is still very little to be known about this heroic young man.

The question still burns in our minds.

Who is this mysterious martyr and why is he here?

Little humpback quivered.

He stood on his feet and shivered.

He shook his mane and with a nay,

like an arrow, he sped away.

Dima?

Yeah?

Do you think Black Lightning is real?

Yeah.

That's good then.

Dima?

What?

I think I know where Daddy went.

Where?

Black Lightning and Papa.

Police and firemen trying to find somebody.

Well, it looks like he's left some clues for me.

Ah, a guy in his twenties.

Gloria!

Gloria!

No need to search for him anymore.

Why not?

He's going to come to us instead.

I saw you rescuing the boy from that fire.

That was amazing.

Anyone would do the same.

There are many selfish and vain people out there.

Have you learned that from experience?

Unfortunately, I have.

We all make mistakes.

Shouldn't we learn to forgive?

Some things are unforgivable.

You're probably right.

Cops have just been spotted chasing an armored vehicle traveling north in Novokostno.

Looks like a robbery.

Go!

The stolen police car, according to eyewitnesses, ended up on the rooftop of this high-rise, courtesy of Black Lightning.

Most likely as a warning message to our city's criminals.

In other news, leading economic indicators...

Viktor Alexandrovich, catching him is impossible.

Probably because he has the advantage of flight.

So why don't we even out the playing field?

How?

Who built the machine?

I don't know, Viktor Alexandrovich. That information is classified.

I spoke to some of my people, but unless those inventors decide to show up on their own, well...

Get them, Boria.

But how, Pasha? You ran all of the tests yourself.

Then Yalezerov must have been right.

This is nonsense.

So this is nonsense too?

Yes, Moscow Metropolitan. This is Dr. Roman Stiva.

I'd like to know when the article will be printed.

Yes, the one about our invention.

What do you mean, what am I talking about?

About the flying automobile.

I told your reporter everything.

No reporter was sent?

Are you crazy?

I guess I'll do it on my own, then.

Okay, I've got to go.

All right, then. Good luck, sweetie, okay?

I hope you break a leg.

Thank you.

Bye, dork.

Tanya, you shouldn't say such things to your brother.

It's good luck to call him names. That way he'll do well on his final examination.

There are only eleven applicants left.

But only ten will be accepted.

Unfortunately, one of you will not be accepted.

Please zero in, everybody.

Speak of the devil.

Yalezerov, Roman Stiva, Perepelkin.

Perepelkin concealed the successful test results.

The project was shut down. Yalezerov was fired.

And Perepelkin consequently married Roman Stiva.

He travels by air.

And now we will too.

Make them top priority.

Are they going to agree with us?

The government will be relaunching the work you started forty years ago.

The Volga equipped with the nano-catalyst is now being used in the special project known as Black Lightning.

As we speak, the paperwork for all of your nominations is being processed for our nation's highest honor.

Now let's talk about the issue we're having.

Currently, times are difficult.

Crime rate is up too.

Black Lightning by itself would probably not be sufficient to handle all of it.

What if we created something modern?

An armed version to annihilate the criminals.

This automobile will be your new prototype for the Black Lightning project.

My only request, active, diligent participation.

And in return, you'll receive expedited financing.

I commend all of you.

Volga, are you ready? Can you make this happen?

Yes, of course, my nation.

Excuse me. Just one issue.

To create a nano-catalyst, we're going to need a crystal.

Well, first we'll try it with some fuel that was already charged by the nano-catalyst.

But that might not be enough for it.

It may be enough for just a few hours.

Perfect. Good enough for me.

Shouldn't we be spending this time working? Precious time being wasted here.

I hope nothing distracts you from doing your work this time around.

Oh, I forgot to introduce Boris Ivanovich. He'll be supervising this project.

Pleased to meet you.

I should probably tell you, from now you're not permitted to leave the premises for the duration of the project.

Please turn in your cellular phones.

And you thought you couldn't pass.

I believed in you.

Yes!

Congratulations.

I passed! I can't believe I passed!

It's amazing!

I passed you! I passed!

Let's celebrate.

Can you believe it?

I even got that question about global warming.

Dimitri, no way. Seriously?

Yeah. He didn't even answer the first question.

Can you believe it?

Nothing.

Anything down on the test...

If you fail the test, then what?

Then I probably...

might have to move back to Nizhny.

That won't happen.

You have my word.

Why'd you fail?

I don't know.

You knew so much more than everyone.

I'd rather not see you go.

Yes, do you deliver?

Could I possibly get seven roses?

Let's make it fifteen.

How much?

Then make it five.

What do you think?

Does Black Lightning have a girlfriend?

Sure he does.

I wonder what she's like.

Would you want to trade places with her?

Uh-uh.

Well, maybe a little.

Yeah.

Care to elaborate?

Well, he must be really lonely.

I guess I feel a little sorry for him.

He mustn't talk to anybody.

I think something horrible must have happened to him.

And he decided to help others.

And now people don't have to live their lives in fear.

He's always around when you need him.

You two share that trait.

Now there are a lot of people who copy him.

Nastya.

Huh?

Do you have plans for New Year's Eve?

Well, I'm not sure.

I was thinking that we could celebrate it together.

Well, let me do some shopping.

Okay.

Bye.

Bye.

To Nastya. Love, Maxim.

There's a famous Russian singer who wants to sell his Bentley to buy Black Lightning.

Then there's this socialite girl whose only reason for wanting to buy it is to get more attention.

Everybody's just going nuts about Black Lightning.

Max, is there something you want to say to me?

I've been meaning to...

Were you scared to say it?

Well, pretty much, yeah.

I've never told anyone until today.

It sounds perilous.

No, but I mean, perilous is...

Well, I have to find the exact words.

I mean, because you saved me.

And you act as if nothing ever even happened at all.

Yeah?

I know who you are.

Who?

I know you're Black Lightning.

Don't tell anybody.

Where are you celebrating the New Year?

They probably need you.

Huh?

Well, look.

The situation is complicated because the shoreline is completely frozen over.

Yeah.

I should.

There you are.

There was another report about Black Lightning you missed.

I'll have to look that up on the internet when I have some time.

I'm going to look it up on the internet now.

He rescued a group of fishermen.

Mom, I invited a girl, Nastya, to spend New Year's with us.

Is that all right?

My boy.

All grown up.

Of course you can, sweetie.

For Nastya.

It's beautiful.

Your father gave it to me.

When he confessed his love to me.

Oh boy, the house is a mess and guests will be arriving soon.

I better tidy up.

Hello?

Happy New Year.

I was calling about the Volga.

Yeah, I know you sold it already, but...

I'm trying to track down the original owner.

At work?

Can you tell me where?

Can I help you?

What is this?

Looking for someone?

Yes, I am, actually.

Step aside, kid. They're here. Open up.

This is not coincidence.

So, did you make your first million?

Mr. Alexandrovich, remember the first time you talked to me?

About helping myself rather than others?

Yes, yes I do.

What happened to them?

To all those people?

Well, I guess they'll need to deal with it.

And if they died because of that?

They weren't killed by you.

Then what happens when you're in trouble?

Hey, Nastya.

We haven't talked in a few days.

I was thinking maybe we'd meet at the university.

And then my place.

I'll see you soon, alright?

Installation of navigation system complete.

Preparing for installation of heat-sinking missiles.

Preparing for installation of heat-sinking missiles.

Attempt chemical testing of nanofuel to commence immediately.

You've really been waiting for me all these years?

Truly.

Didn't know that. Otherwise...

You probably wouldn't have gone away for 30 years.

F.E.L.I.X.

The thing I still don't get is if there's a diamond deposit right under us, why is no one extracting them?

To reach the deposit, we have to drill through the foundation on which this city stands.

And that's impossible.

Then how do we expect to do it?

Well, it is possible with a nanocatalyst.

Hmm, so that's why it's so important.

We'll have to leave Moscow for some time.

Listen, there's a giant drill within this building.

Alexandrovich is going to destroy the geological foundation of Moscow.

He's searching for diamonds.

Pasha, no! That's not feasible, is it?

There's no sufficient source of energy for that.

There is.

The nanocatalyst.

That explains why Alexandrovich needs the Mercedes.

He doesn't want to help Black Lightning.

He wants it destroyed.

To take the nanocatalyst from it.

If the foundation cracks, buildings will collapse.

That would be a catastrophe.

He'll kill millions.

We have to do something.

Call for help.

Sound the alarm. We can't sit here and do something.

I'll try to get out and get help.

By yourself?

You need to stay with Olga.

Hera Pelkin's on the roof.

Don't waste your time, though.

We'll let him stay outside. He won't go anywhere.

Why?

Because this is our chance to get the nanocatalyst.

The story of a man struggling on the roof will be quickly noticed by every major news station.

Then what?

Then he's mine.

It's the end of the world.

Love one!

Put love on your home-made!

Add it to your favorites!

Love lasts forever, guys! Yeah!

We've got breaking news that one of the creators of Black Lightning, Pavel Hera Pelkin,

is currently on the roof of the high-rise known as the Diamond Tower.

According to a number of witnesses, he appears to be shouting for help.

Our correspondent will be arriving at the scene shortly.

Please stay tuned.

I have to.

Go help him.

Promise me you'll be safe.

Hey, should we get going?

My mom can't wait to meet you.

Dim.

Hmm?

I should tell you I came here with Maxine.

Do you love him?

This isn't about me.

He saved my life.

Helps people.

He's always protected me.

You think he's bad, but he's not.

I asked you if you loved him.

Dima.

Max.

Earlier this morning.

Told me he's Black Lightning.

No.

That's not possible.

He's not Black Lightning.

He'll save him.

Max will come and save him any minute now.

What makes you so sure?

I bet he won't come.

Dima.

Look, that man may be dying.

And Max is going to save him while we're sitting here arguing like children.

You're probably right.

He'll be there.

It's his job to protect.

He wants the nano catalyst to destroy the whole city to find diamonds.

The mysterious hero has come to the rescue again.

We're awaiting more details, but one thing is clear. Nothing will ruin...

If you go down under the subway tunnel, you'll find the drill.

Get in!

No one else can do it! You must destroy it!

Go now!

Black Lightning is no more.

What would I do without my dear scientists?

Well, how about I demonstrate to you now exactly what the nano catalyst is capable of?

Okay, you romantic morons. Now you can get back to your useless research.

Carousel! Carousel!

Carousel!

Come on, let's get out of here! Everybody hustle! This is not an emergency!

The plane is going to collapse! Move it! Move it!

Keep running!

Please don't be hurt by this, but I need to be honest. I love someone else, Maxine.

Your secret will always be safe with me. I'm... I'm so sorry.

Please forgive me.

Yeah?

Dim, where are you?

I really need to talk to you.

I'll be right there.

I can't wait to see you.

I'm on my way.

What if the nano catalyst was turned off?

For such a case, there is some extra nano fuel on reserve in a small container.

It's not much, but it'll power about 30 minutes of fuel.

Misha!

Misha!

Do you know my plan?

I wanted to separate you and Vulcan.

I...

Drilling interrupted.

The accelerator needs to be destroyed.

This should be all over in a few seconds.

Dema, you talked about choices.

Well, now you have the nano catalyst and I have your girl. Make your choice.

It's your move.

Hold on.

Don't believe him, Dema. It's a bluff.

Hello?

Nastya.

Yeah?

Is everything okay there?

Where are you?

Oh my God.

What is it?

What is it?

Nastya, are you there?

So, how have you been?

Nastya!

If you can hear me, please say something.

Hello, hello.

Well, well. Black Lightning.

You have to pass one more exam.

Red Square. I'll be waiting for you there.

I hope this time you studied.

Happy New Year to all of you.

Happy New Year.

Dema.

Dema!

Three flashes and drinks. Come on.

What do you think? Does Black Lightning have a girlfriend?

Sure he does.

I wonder what she's like.

What are you dealing with?

What are you dealing with?

Hi, Mom.

Dema, where are you?

Tanya's been asking for you. I have a house full of people.

We're all waiting for you.

You haven't called. Are you coming or not?

Sorry, Mom.

Everything is fine.

We'll be there soon.

So, what do you think?

About Black Lightning.

Does he have a girlfriend?

Yes, he does.

Black Lightning, I will become for you

Black Lightning, on the line of rain

And let the calendar sheets burn

The evil will not be able to deceive me anymore

I don't believe in miracles

But a car is flying into the sky

And now I'm your superhero

And now I am your superhero
