- Hey. - Good morning.

You look great, Arkady Viktorovich.

Sure? Thanks, Vitaly.

Was all packed in a minute.

Never had time to look in the mirror.

Today is the 5th.

Oprichnik's Day.

Then we take the standard path?

Yes, sir!

THE DROP

Okay, c'mon.

Edik, spill it.

Well, Valery, as they say... Happy...

Things are going well for you.

I wish it to continue like this.

And I wish it to be smooth both at home and on duty.

And a promotion to major this year.

I wish you finally get it, yes.

Thank you, c'mon.

- This year. - Wait, let's invite our superior.

We have to, Andrey Ravilyevich!

Andrey Ravilyevich,

will you join us?

He's coming.

Boss, say a few words.

Happy birthday! All the blessings!

You're welcome.

I'm afraid of him.

Well said, with heart.

How long you reckon it'll take him to figure out this restaurant shooting?

A month, tops... As usual.

All right, to having more than just work in our lives.

Good morning.

Morning.

You hungry?

Uh, I am.

Thank you.

So, uh,

we should meet Ilyas today.

- Can you make a deal? - I'll arrange it.

- What? - You don't eat pork.

Or do you?

Was it pork?

I'm so hungry, didn't even realize that.

I don't think we're gonna get heartburn for this.

- We should call Oleg. Cash will be here. - Uh-huh.

- What's up with you? - What do you mean?

I thought everything was fine last night or...

It was fine.

So, well, I have to meet a friend, she has problems.

So, Lyosha...

Forwarding...

Maybe we'll have dinner tonight?

Uh-huh.

Ram Anatolievich, good morning.

How was your trip to St. Petersburg?

- Had time to visit the Hermitage? - Reported already?

They better be doing their jobs

- in their actual duties at such speed. - Yeah, reported.

That's fine with me.

But word got out that you're still digging up Svintsitsky.

How?

Your colleagues in St. Petersburg were quite surprised by your visit.

You, Yulia Ivanovna, better hear what I'm saying.

- Ram Anatolievich... - I know it all.

I knew it.

I know about the joint fund,

and of transfers, and of five deputy ministers covered in this fraudulent scheme.

I know it all.

But if this keeps up, they're gonna cook you,

and I need you here.

We've got a lot to do even without Svintsitsky.

Don't you know?

I'll tell you what,

you take a paid vacation,

get a month off, and I'll figure something out.

- Yeah? - Uh-huh.

Here.

Lyosha, are you serious?

But you know... I don't care.

Nothing new, basically.

I just have one request.

Don't ask me what I want next time, okay?

You ask me first: Baby, what do you want?

What do you think? And then you do it your way.

I don't mind, but why the fuck are you asking me?

I'm canceling Venice for no fucking reason?

I've already paid for 600 grand worth of stuff there.

Well, use your brain or critical thinking.

I thought you had those.

Aline, I'm sorry, I was nervous about the Kazakh.

- Aline... - We'll do it this way... you pick a date,

the city, and whatever it is tonight.

- I'll turn off the phone, and we'll go. - Aline...

If you cheat again, Voronov...

I swear, any place in the world, any date.

But not on 9th, and not from 12th to 15th for I have meetings there.

And please not Venice, it fucking stinks.

Fuck you!

I'm kidding. Just kidding, Aline. A sense of humor.

Lyosha, the hell with it, with Venice.

You're like that in everything!

Say one thing, do another.

You gave me a car, but drive yourself.

In a year unable to find two hours, damn,

- to watch a movie with me. - It will happen, Aline, I promise.

You know me.

When I don't keep my word, I feel physically sick.

It'll be all right, Aline, I promise you.

You know me, when I don't keep my word, I feel physically sick.

It'll be all right, Aline, I promise you.

You know me, when I don't keep my word, I feel physically sick.

Agreed?

Beast!

This way.

All right, a little tired, but okay.

What the fuck are you talking about?

I'm not getting out of here again.

Not unless I'll be thrown out feet first.

No shit, I almost got kicked out of here once.

Shit, I can't even imagine how much it's gonna cost.

You know how much I can pay, right?

You'll pay me back when we start making money.

Okay, okay. All right, well, what should I do? What's the plan?

Take a rest by now.

I'm meeting with some restaurant people today.

They're looking to increase their cash flow.

We're gonna work.

And you know how to increase the volume, don't you?

We'll figure it out.

Yuri, if it was that easy,

we'd all be living in Moscow City and driving Lamborghini.

That's it.

You should stop calling me Yuri.

I'm Lyosha now. Okay?

Why the fuck?

You can blow it in front of someone else.

I already feel like Aline suspects something.

What? Really?

Don't know yet. Don't think so.

But she's already starting to ask probing questions about their life together.

Okay, here's a question. Have you had this thing with her yet?

Yeah, I did.

Well, then I'm sure I'm screwed.

Thank God there were no issues on that one.

Man, it's hard not to notice you're sleeping with someone else.

Are you serious?

Look, it was one time only.

Besides, cats are all gray at night, as they say.

So you and Voronov have the same size cocks, huh?

You're such an asshole, Donkey.

Look, I'm sorry, Yuri. I mean Lyokha.

Thank you for getting me out.

Especially considering that you're a loser and a beggar from Tver.

Hi.

Thanks for taking the time.

I was wondering what this time...

- Why are you so aggressive? - I'm aggressive? Uh-huh.

Okay, that's what I wanted to talk about.

Well, you and Lyosha are at risk, and I often break down.

Excuse me, please.

We need to sail through this period somehow on the same wave.

So touching, I'm going to cry.

That's not why we're here.

Yes, agreed.

I want you to tell me again about the assassination attempt, any details.

I've told you a hundred times.

Can you do a hundred and one?

Me and my boys are sitting in the car, then there's a ruckus.

We get out, Nikita's bleeding, Lyokha's on the floor.

The Kazakhs left through the kitchen, next they're wanted.

We put Lyokha in the car... That's it.

The Kazakhs, where did they come from?

You didn't meet them, did you?

- No. - Do you know with whom?

We just started the operation, I didn't know.

Aline, what's going on?

Well, maybe they discussed something with Nikita?

Why don't you ask him?

Aline, I can't catch the story.

He hasn't been himself since the assassination attempt.

It's like he's been replaced for real.

I'm trying to figure out what's going on.

Well, I don't know, but..

He and Nikita were joking about

life after death, something like that... Fuck knows.

It's closer.

Oh, great. Bravo.

Hello.

Faster.

Move your feet faster.

Greetings to contestants.

Hello, Arkasha.

- What? Decided to start playing too? - Faster.

No, I've already played today.

I was inventorying my assets.

- Uh-huh. - So what?

I took everything from Alyoshin,

Galyamin and Kudryavy.

But they still have a permit issue hanging over.

They want to solve it by the end of the month.

Why are you, Arkasha, like a little kid? Don't know how to solve it?

If they've settled, then you're bringing Vagiz what we owe him?

One and a half bucks.

Here, I'll call him, you come and hand it over.

That's it, but leave your bag here.

I've got some more handing out to do today.

Got it. Thanks for keeping me in gear.

- You're welcome. C'mon, c'mon. - Excuse me.

But should I hand these to Vagiz?

No, this doesn't work, Arkasha.

You pay Vagiz out of your own.

- But how? - In the same way.

Did you fuck up six from joint fund?

I did. I promised I'd get it back quickly. Where is it?

So, you pay Vagiz one and a half of yours.

The rest you bring to the warehouse today.

Got it?

Okay.

C'mon, Tanya.

Bye.

Home?

You okay, Arkady Viktorovich?

Fine.

Or maybe not.

Looks like they set me on the way out.

That's the vibe,

as they say among youngsters.

Listen, Vitaly, in theory,

can you find some trusted people who can arrange me

a swift and very delicate move?

I'll do it. What are we moving?

Everything.

Okay.

You have quite an appetite.

We're testing new menu.

Here, try tuna.

Thanks, Ilyas, I'm not hungry.

Lyokha, you're all about business, but don't know how to enjoy life.

Don't shoot this fish, eh?

In ten minutes we'll continue.

Well, what's up? How're you doing?

Ah, well, I was thinking...

Let's increase the volume.

That's what I wanted to talk to him about.

Subject's dead, I guess.

Dead? Why?

They busted our money launderers.

They're shutting down the whole chain of companies.

So, it's on hold for now.

Well, hold on. Let's think of something.

My mind already hurts.

I don't see any options.

Well, you need cash, don't you?

I do, yeah. You just don't have enough companies

to run it through, and I don't. No one does.

How much?

Let's say a hundred million.

I'll find companies for that.

I'll find them for one run, but it's not a one-time thing, it's monthly.

One hundred now, then three, four.

We need a regular system.

Let's make it. We'll get all in place. I got an idea.

Well, if we do, I'm in.

And we'll raise your interest rate.

Listen,

why don't you try the nicoise, huh?

And 30 more dishes to try?

I'm going to puke.

Thanks, Ilyas.

You got a dangerous job.

Bon appetit.

When you worked for me, I didn't see you this often.

What's the emergency?

Don't tell me you can't pay Swine.

Hmm... With money all fine, all is set.

Lyosha is working his ass off to start paying sooner.

I see, it could have been texted. What's wrong?

Let's avoid drama. I can see shit right away.

Okay. Uh-huh.

I'm worried about the second ID.

I'm afraid that Lyosha will leave me.

Wait, but did you ask him?

I tried, but...

But he's changed a lot. I really don't know what to think.

After all, he was almost killed, and I can see he's in shock.

You should talk to him.

You have to talk about these things.

Well, he says it's just a precaution.

What else did he say, you know, about the ID?

I don't remember. He was talking shit.

He mentioned some other names.

Petrov, Ivanov, Afanasiev.

- Yes, that's right - Afanasiev. - Afanasiev?

Did he give you a name?

Aline, c'mon... Why?

Don't push yourself.

He's fine with you.

He's never been in such a long relationship in his life.

Well, should I call Swine to make a deal?

Oh, fuck.

Holy shit.

It's impossible without a name.

So basically, our only lead is the money from St. Petersburg.

Well, let's check who they're coming to.

Yulia, may I?

Yes.

Well, anyway, I wanted to say

I wanted to apologize for the joke about St. Petersburg.

Actually, I really respect your approach, and even envy it.

I mean, if only a third of our office worked like that.

Have you been practicing?

- Uh, yeah. - That's it.

Your words to Rodionov's teeth.

What happened?

They suspended me for a month.

- Oh, shit! - Uh-huh.

A month is just great.

In a month, Swintsitsky will hide all the loose ends.

Well, knowing you, you're not gonna get off the hook, are you?

What's next?

If we make progress on the case,

Rodionov's not going anywhere.

How can I help?

Kiryukha!

Yes?

Got an experience in intelligence work, right?

Well, I have some.

Roughly, like me. What do you need?

I need you at Leningrad sky station tomorrow morning.

You'll meet the dough.

- Got it. - I can do it, too. What dough?

You be in touch 24/7.

I'm gonna need your help, too.

Details later.

Six, seven, eight. All in all, 10... Here.

That's a lot, Vahid, and that's just per month.

Now calculate how much a year will be.

Lyosha, don't push it, bro, huh?

Let's consider it calmly.

Have you counted all the zeros? Do you know what kind of money it is?

Lyosha, it's a good volume, very good, and the percentage is good.

Only I do not realize how we will do it.

Wait, have you got enough cash?

I have enough cash, but how will you make me cashless deposit?

How? Listen.

The restaurateurs pay us, and we pay it straight to your companies.

- It won't work. - What do you mean?

I mean, how many companies would it take to move small amounts

from their legal entities without a fuss?

Well, a hundred, maybe.

I don't have that many.

Wait, let's figure something out. Let's get people involved.

I deal only in Bitcoin and cash.

I don't work with the other stuff.

Wait, you have a market.

How many legal entities do you have there?

Lyosha, who are you playing dumb for now?

I'm not playing dumb. I'm looking for options.

We want to make money.

The market is a "white" business.

Tenants pay just for the spaces, that's all.

I don't want any problems there, Lyosha.

So we won't try this?

Bro, if you find someone to run it through

then we'll try it.

Lyosha, in our business

we need a cool mind, and you're a little overheated.

Careful, bro.

Hi!

Wow! Not bad.

No false starts?

On what?

Uh, I don't know.

Oh, you mean the sex?

Did you like it?

Want more?

Huh... Is that a bad thing?

I thought I wasn't the only one who had a good time.

What else did you like?

The car?

This place?

- Did something happen? - You tell me.

No, no, Aline, I'm not good at riddles. What's wrong?

Who are you?

Why are you starting?

I'm Lyosha, Lyosha Voronov.

No, I'm not sure about that at all.

I know Lyosha Voronov well, and it wasn't him in bed with me last night.

Who was, Aline? A double? A triple?

Who is Afanasiev?

- No idea. - Enough!

You told Pasha you were Afanasiev and showed him someone else's ID.

All right.

Afanasiev was my Plan B.

The badge is false. Happy?

What did you tell your uncle?

I lied to my uncle, Aline, I was lying.

I turned on the psycho so he could help me with my debt.

That's my job, to lie to everybody.

That's my fucking profession.

- Are you lying now, too? - No.

Not now.

But I've been lying a lot. I can see that now.

- I don't understand anything anymore. - Aline.

Who are you?

It's me. Me!

I just figured out a lot after that murder attempt.

What?

That I acted like an idiot.

That I didn't appreciate you, that I treated you like I owed you.

But things are gonna be different now. I swear.

You know it physically sucks when I don't keep my word.

Aline…

Hush, hush, hush, hush, hush.

Hey, hey, hey.

All right, all right, I'm here.

I'm here.

Uh-huh?

Should I stay out front?

For now.

- Well? What's in there? - No one.

I see them.

Two guys with backpacks, I follow 'em.

- Kirill! - Got them.

They went inside.

And?

Come up to the guy in the red hat.

They're handing him some packages.

Keep an eye on 'em, I'll go to the parking lot and get in the car.

Don't see you. Where are you?

The guy in the red hat went to the subway, I followed.

All right.

Follow him, tell me what stations you're going through.

I'll try to ride along with you.

Enjoy your meal.

I'll put the bill in your bag.

- Thank you. - Have a nice day.

I got the booze. Did you get the pistachios?

Yes.

Anyway, you know how much doner costs here?

That's crazy.

Donkey, I'm asking you to stop acting like you're some kind of pauper.

What are you talking about, man, it's really expensive.

Listen, I'm coming here tomorrow, the day after tomorrow.

I don't want people saying in my back:

This sucker is driving around in Gelendwagen with a security guard,

and he's discussing doner prices with his pal..

Oh, we're kind of in the spirit.

We got a bigger issue than doner price by now.

Where do we get companies?

I don't know anyone in city except Vahid.

Do you know how much the seeds are?

I saw him enter the courtyard at the last moment.

Good boy. What, where's his office?

It's not an office.

It's a dry-cleaning laundromat - how symbolic!

Okay, Gvozdev's all packed up.

- A tablet? - Sorry, I couldn't print it out.

Okay, what's this payment?

Marked right here.

- Forty-two million for cleaning supplies? - Uh-huh.

Okay, nice.

We go inside, you stand at the entrance.

To grab him if he runs?

Please, you're not Tom Cruise.

You're just gonna stand there for show.

Got it.

Hi. Do you guys clean the bags?

Hi, we do. But you have to go to reception, it's next door.

- Are you the boss? - I am.

Good. Then I'll show you.

It's just that there's a stain inside.

Here.

What's your name?

- Boris. - I'm Yulia.

Boris, I really want to talk to you

about the parcel you picked up today from Leningrad sky station.

- Is this an interrogation? - Really?

What interrogation?

You'll be interrogated later on about a questionable transaction

to buy 42 million worth of cleaning products.

I don't get it.

Boris! Pull yourself together! Let's not pull the cat by the tail,

we're not beasts of burden. You have to deliver money from St. Petersburg

to the girlfriend of a certain Voronov.

You tell me everything you know about him and about her,

and then you buy the cleaning supplies. Okay?

I don't really know anything.

Can we just go without all this foreplay?

C'mon, Boris, let's talk.

Get your Tver out of your head!

That's it! You've moved to Moscow!

I'm going to introduce you to the boys.

I've made up a legend for you of a tough money-launderer,

while you open your mouth and get caught in the middle of nowhere!

Oh, man, aren't money launderers human beings?

Can't negotiate prices?

C'mon, focus.

We gotta pay Swine back, we need a new plan, we gotta move fast.

Bro, bills.

What bills? Are you even catching me?

Here's a bill for your fruit, it says: IE Ayvazov.

Here's a bill for pistachios, and it says: IE Kalugin.

Here's a bill for beer, and it says: IE Valekhina.

- Get it? - So what?

The owners of beer and fruit are different, so the IEs are different.

The point is that all three of these three IEs are under the same roof.

What are you saying?

I'm saying that there's one owner of the corner,

the same entity, and it's called LLC Norma.

I noticed the sign when we were there.

I get these things memorized instantly as a pro.

Give me that.

So, what you're telling me is that none of the payments

has anything to do with this entity?

So, who's the sucker now?

Nobody ever looks at this stuff.

Some murky subject, Lyokha.

Lady, excuse me, do you know what is written at the top of your bill here?

Yes, sure.

LLC Athena. It is the name of our company.

It's on our bills and on our license.

Tell me, do guests often check the company name on the bill

against the company they're getting a bill from?

Guests check what's at the bottom, where the total is.

Assuming you're lucky,

and the bills worked out, and no one ever checked.

But, Lyosha, I'm not so lucky, I'm careful.

Me, too.

How many times a week will the payments go through?

Not a week, Vahid. A hundred times a day.

How is it? What will they be for? What kind of goods?

What kind of revenue do your salesmen bring you every day?

Well, let's say it's none of your business, Lyosha.

Sorry, sorry, yeah.

And for what they bring you this revenue, do you know?

How much for mandarins? For watermelons? Melons?

Am I crazy? Why would I need this?

Right. Some people come in, buy something.

Your salesmen are selling something,

but only their foremen know what they're buying and what they're selling, right?

That's right. So?

So, it's a market.

What kind of inspection will bust their butts?

How many tangerines did they sell? 3 kilos or 30?

Well, let's say they started it. Where does the money go next?

What changes for me? I need companies again, just like before.

Not exactly.

How many salespeople do you have on hand either IEs or self-employed?

A lot.

Now multiply that a lot

by a hundred small, neat,

untraceable transfers each day.

- I'm in, Lyokha. - Uh-huh.

Why Tver and not Moscow?

Yes, because FTS has attacked the Vladivostok bank,

and I wanted to stay in somehow.

The Moscow branch is a bummer, and here it's Tver.

Who needs this shit, right?

I've been to Vladivostok, it's a nice city.

- What was the name of that bank? - First Pacific.

Well, did you follow the plan?

Let's go over it again to reinforce the point.

Okay.

So, there are people at the market.

They buy cucumbers, tomatoes, vegetables,

cilantro stuff, pay for it with cash or a card.

There are sellers.

They're registered as IEs or self-employed,

and they write bills through their own legal entities.

Thousands of customers, a huge number of transactions

that are, like, impossible to track.

Okay, I get it.

What does this have to do with restaurateurs?

It's got nothing to do with restaurateurs.

Every day people go to a restaurant, eat something, drink something.

Restaurant brings them a bill.

The customer pays the bill by card.

Card money is sent to other legal entities

that are tied to these marketplace IEs.

Okay, I don't get it.

They just bought cilantro from you.

They were buying cilantro virtually,

and none of these guests were actually at the restaurant.

They were all at the market.

So, can we set up card terminals for the pubs?

Yeah, we can monitor them remotely.

How much went through them, how much came in,

and to which vendors.

Sounds good.

Genius.

Cash, crypto, cash out anywhere in the world.

He's a serious dude, running some pretty clever shit.

Boris also said he's obsessed with ciphers.

He and his chick Aline hardly ever go out together.

He won't even let take pictures together.

So who is she, what does she do?

She's a half con artist, half decision-maker, a small-time swimmer.

According to this Boris, she lives with her boyfriend Voronov

and she washes money for stilettos.

We're getting a little more insight into Voronov.

There are thousands of companies with Alexei Voronov

as a founder or CEO in Russia.

And we have no patronymic, no birth date.

How are we gonna find him?

We can't do a normal search.

But there are a couple of references to Lyosha Krypton in private chats,

but that's not so good either.

And if we filter through the search?

Take all the Voronovs born between 1982 and 1992.

And this Boris, he didn't provide anything useful?

Well, he gave Aline's contact and a wallet address.

But it's one transaction.

Wallets change, accounts get wiped, it's untraceable.

Anyway, there's nothing on this Voronov guy.

Except for Aline.

- What do you think? - Really cool!

- Awesome. - It's yours.

Are you kidding?

- Are you fucking kidding? - No. Take it.

That's crazy!

Okay, what's this?

I rented this theater for the two of us.

Are you crazy?

You know, Aline,

I promised you things all the time, yeah,

but nothing ever happens.

And it's not because I'm a shitty person, although I am.

I'm just confused, honestly.

I'm living like I'm in someone else's movie.

Every day there's some kind of hell going on, and I gotta get out of it,

and I'm always figuring things out.

A day goes by, I can't remember what happened yesterday.

Shit's starting all over again.

I'm sorry.

I'm trying to change it, but, uh.

I'm, uh... I'm not doing a very good job.

But I...

You ain't just changed.

You've changed.

But I like this Lyosha better.

I love you.

- Your order. - Look who's here?

Oh, yes, thank you.

You're welcome.

Take it.

- Have a good day! - Goodbye.

Good evening. We're closing.

Hello.

Major Safin. I called you

about your son.

Oh, hi.

I already told you everything on the phone.

It's not straight.

What's not straight?

Can't you see? It's not straight.

I don't think so.

Would you like to level-check it?

Well, if you insist.

A little to the right.

Uh-huh.

Left.

There, isn't that better?

You'll have to excuse me. I'm always noticing details.

It's my job.

I haven't seen Lyosha in a year, and I don't want to.

The last message he wrote me on March 8th.

- Do you want me to read it? - Why are you so nervous?

You're making me nervous.

I'm calling my lawyer.

You haven't even asked what I'm interested in.

- That doesn't surprise you, does it? - No, it doesn't.

If Lyosha's done something wrong, then I'm

definitely can't help you here.

Well, it depends.

Sit down, write down all pal's surnames.

Locations where he might be.

What, you want to do this at police department?

You can call a lawyer down there right away.

Right, take it easy.

Just a little scratch.

Holy shit!

Fuck!

You got eyes on your ass?

Lady, I'm sorry, it was an accident.

Fuck you, it was an accident.

Let's call the insurance company!

What insurance company? Do you know how much it costs?

No insurance will cover it!

I don't know, I've never seen one of these before.

- Let's call the cops! - Huh... Sure!

Stop it, bitch!

What's this bullshit?

She crashed into me, she's crying. Stop it!

Oh, c'mon! Everybody's safe, thank God! You hear that? Here.

That's not why I'm crying!

- What do you mean? - My boyfriend broke up with me today,

and then there's this, damn it!

This way.

What's wrong with you?

This place is creepy. Why here?

I don't know. He appointed it. I didn't ask.

Minus level three, we're over there.

How convenient. Minus level three,

no communication, no prying eyes.

I got a bad feeling.

Can you get Swine to reschedule the meeting somewhere else?

Why don't I take his piece and walk there?

He's got no reason to do anything to me. He needs the money.

What do you mean, his piece?

How much you got?

A week's turnover off Ilyas.

I just didn't have time to bring it in.

Lyosha, fuck!

Keep still.

Where are we going in such a hurry?

I see someone had a productive week?

Perfect.

The deal was you take 20, next payment is in a week.

Why would I delay

when it's such a treat?

I, for one, don't like being in debt.

It's such an agonizing feeling.

You lose your appetite, your sleep.

But when you pay it off,

the spirit just rises, rises.

It's the client's money.

I think you'll feel the same way.

It's not my money!

All your money Lyosha is someone else's.

Look, this is pretty impressive...

I certainly will count everything at home, but it seems to me that

a third of the debt we can successfully cancel.

My respect... Such money for such a period of time.

You, Alexei, are just... a talent.

Way to go! Ha-ha!

You bastard! Motherfucker! Bitch! Bitch! Bitch!

All right, let's get this out fast, but no fuss, and keep poker faces on.

Dismissed...
