Original subtitles

Not.

Take this and do it yourself.

Hurry up.

If anyone asks, it was you.

Understood?

And for Ademi?

Sure, for Ademi there will also be.

Three.

One.

Four.

Two.

One.

Ademi?

You are not doing well.

Hello, Takque.

- Hello... - No hands.

What pints are those?

Stand up straight.

Take off that hat.

Can't wear a hat?

Go turn off the music.

Come back and introduce yourself correctly.

Moron.

Inspector Alibekov,

of the research team from the crime scene.

Chief Inspector, Internal Security Directorate,

Sydykbekov Erzhan.

Well.

Examine the body and the crime scene.

Collect all the irrefutable evidence.

Take the necessary samples and analyze fingerprints.

We have identified the suspect.

He is there.

In the cornfield, the one with the aquiline nose.

- To work. - Yes sir.

By the way...

Why are you still in our sector?

Tell your boss

that if I see you around here, he will find out, understood?

Yes sir.

Takque.

Can you bring water to a boil?

Enough.

Enough already, you.

DISTRICT POLICE STATION OF THE VILLAGE OF KARATAS

Shit, I shit on...!

Fuck!

Change the date, put the 15.

Easy, Nureke.

Cast? What changes the date?

What am I going to tell the boss tomorrow?

Crime solved in 2 hours?

You have to say that we work 3 days in this case.

You have to rewrite everything then.

Yes, to work, Commissioner. Come on, we need declarations.

Come here right now!

Are you going to talk, or what?

Speak.

You stole a cow, right?

I can put a rape on you.

It is not the same as stealing cattle.

What are you doing there, eating? Come here, beat him on the soles of his feet.

I'll hold him.

Because of this we will be here until 6 pm.

It must end.

Pay him off!

I have to finish this fucking report. Pay him!

Go see.

Hey, cops!

Get out of there.

What are you looking at? Go away.

Comrade Commissioner!

Where are you?

Do you want... some tea?

Where is that fag?

What fag?

Are there many here?

You mean the pedophile?

He is in a cell, handcuffed.

Why?

He killed my son.

Come on...

That child was an orphan.

And you don't have a woman.

Was he an orphan?

Of course he was!

Kill him.

We are police.

The law is equal for everyone.

There has to be no trial.

I'm not alone here.

How do we do it? Do we hang him in his cell?

I don't give a fuck..

Hang him, slit his belly open.

As long as as he...

Understood.

Zambeke greets you.

Thanks.

Say hello for me.

You know, that time I lost at the casino...

Could he maybe let it go?

It has nothing to do with that.

Voucher.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Stop rewriting that report.

Transfer the file to the prosecutor.

And as for the pedophile...

Do we do that in his cell?

Okay, he'll be dead before the trial.

Go.

To work.

Bekzat?

Hi, I'm Ariana, television journalist.

They sent me to cover the investigation.

This is the authorization.

They must have informed you.

Pleased to meet you.

Plead guilty, you idiot.

There is no time. The report should be ready by 6:00 p.m.

Fuck!

- Take it. - Nureke?

What is that journalist doing here?

Shit, I forgot.

I swear.

She's with the Ministry.

Take them both with you for now.

- What? - I didn't sign up for that.

- What? Should I kill him in front of her? - No.

Just let her ride with you for two days and then I'll get rid of her.

In two days she'll uncover us.

What do you mean us? This is your signature!

Do you want to end up in prison...

for negligence?

Find a solution. Why are you looking at me like that?

Do your fucking job!

Do your job!

And do not forget...

your pedophile.

- To work. - Fuck off.

Fuck you, man.

Let's go.

We're leaving, I told you.

I'm not leaving without Ademoka.

It's not allowed.

Why not?

- It's not allowed. - In what sense?

Don't make up your own rules.

I'll write up a report on your professional misconduct and you'll be fired.

Which do you prefer?

LAW COURT OF KARATAS

Hey, Kanat!

Come here.

Let's talk.

Hold this for a second.

Wait, we don't have time for this.

- The prosecutor is waiting for us. - One second.

Hold my jacket.

It's the new guy.

Stay by my side.

Go.

- How are you, Kanat? - My name is Bekzat.

Ah okay.

- Something happens? - What?

Is there a problem?

I know you, you are an inspector of the 12th district.

That's how it is.

Look, Kanat.

Bekzat, stay out of our sector.

It is none of your business.

Are you aware of what happens there?

It is our sector.

I work with Nureke.

They are going to transfer it and you will be left alone.

You're not from here, are you?

You have to understand it.

You're from the north, right?

- Yes. - How are things there?

Yours is mine, right?

Here, it is different. Everything is mine.

I understand, man.

And what about Nureke?

Nureke... Come see me first.

I'll fix that myself with the boss.

- You're the one who fixes everything now. - Of course.

- Why don't you speak? Tell him. - Beke, why me?

Tell him who you work with.

Okay, I get it, he's with you.

Yes, but everything happens for me.

Who do you work with?

Job.

- That's all. - Voucher.

- Okay, no hard feelings. - No problem, if you have any questions...

Is that guy with you?

Are you still being smart?

Next time, there will be no warning.

- I know where your daughter's school is. - Got it boss.

Do not call me that way.

- As you like. - The price has increased.

Next time, it will be double.

- Understood? - Yes, that's fine.

Thanks.

- All good? - Yes, just work problems.

Wait for me here. I will call you.

Do you know who gave us this?

I spoke to Ereke yesterday.

We are going to do business with him.

Tomorrow, everything will change here.

- Isn't that right, Dakque? - Yes, totally.

Makque is willing to invest a lot of money

to make this desert prosper.

Are you one of us?

Let's drink to celebrate.

Hello, can I come in?

Did you call her?

No we haven't called anyone far as I know.

Was it you, Bekzat?

Is it your wife or your lover?

Dakque, do you need a lover?

A lover...

I imagine you called her and you forgot, Makque.

I'm here for another reason.

Your reports are incomplete.

Who is it?

A female journalist.

They sent her upstairs.

Four children were killed in four years.

They were all orphans, they had no family.

All children more or less the same age,

between 10 and 12 years.

Wounds and profiles of the victims are the same.

The motive for the crime is equal to the four cases:

satisfy sexual drives through rape.

It is obvious that it is the same person.

We are talking of a serial killer.

If that's the case,

you should have taken the necessary measures.

Instead, you have arrested to three different people

who later committed suicide at his police station.

Do you want us to call the commission and let's study all your files?

Or are you willing to cooperate?

That file is incomplete. Not all evidence has been collected.

We can't build on that to take a decision.

Not.

I personally take care of this case.

If you have any question,

do not hesitate to call me, at any time.

Thanks.

A pleasure to work with you. Goodbye.

Here.

Go do your job.

Examine everything thoroughly.

You can go.

Article 34?

State of Need.

- Article 42? - Are you questioning me?

I'm just checking a few things. Do you know article 42?

- I'm not going to answer. - Miranda rights.

Fuck off.

Incorrect.

"You have the right to remain silent."

"Everything you say can be used against you."

"You have the right to an attorney."

You've seen too many Hollywood films.

We don't say that here.

It has been mandatory for a year.

Haven't they told you?

If the Miranda rights are not read, the arrest is not valid.

You did not know.

Why are we going back there? There's nothing to see.

No proof.

The scene was contaminated. The evidence is gone.

There are no witnesses.

The body is in the morgue. What is the use of going?

Let's draw it like this.

Look.

They forgot to take the body.

What?

They forgot to take the body.

I see.

They will do it tomorrow. I told them to come as soon as possible.

Then let's stay here to guard it.

To watch over the body?

Or what? Should I report you?

Well...

I'm going to question you here at the crime scene.

You will have to answer my questions.

- Speak clearly. - I'm guilty.

Anyway...

You recognize it?

- Is he also an orphan? - Yes.

-And Pukuar, is he a normal guy? - Yes.

-He isn't he a little weird? - No.

Did you see who killed that kid yesterday?

No.

Look at me.

- Do not lie to me. - I didn't see anything.

Who was he?

I know you were there.

- I don't know, I didn't see anything. - Tell the truth.

- I did not see anything. - I can put you in jail.

You understand? I can send you to jail.

I don't think you'll like it.

Is that what you want?

No.

Who was it?

A man took him in a black Jeep.

What man?

A tall man in black.

There are posters of him in town.

- An old guy? - Yes.

Who else knows?

Nobody else.

- Does anyone else know? - No.

- You're sure? - Yes.

Look...

Don't talk to anyone about that guy.

Understood?

- Understood? - Yes.

Get out of here.

What did he say?

Nothing.

What did you give him?

Nothing.

I will include it in my report.

Bribery of witnesses.

The secret society of Pukuar.

Is it Alibekov?

Yes.

Bekzat Bolatovich.

District number?

What?

If you mean the location of the crime it's the 12th district.

I am in the Karatas district.

Service paper?

Another report on me?

I was born in the Amangeldi district, Kostanai region.

My mother died when I was 4 years old, my father, when I was 10.

I studied at a boarding school in Kostanai.

After that I went into the army.

I studied at the Ministry of the Interior

and I worked as a researcher in Karaganda.

And as a detective here for 2 years.

Shoe size is 45.

Types like you I don't like.

Any more questions?

Where do you live?

It's not important.

I see, abroad.

Did your dad set you up here?

They recommended me.

Sure, thanks, Dad.

No one would've let you come here without protection from up top.

I understand, you live abroad.

You come here like on a safari.

To hunt wild animals.

In their natural habitat.

Do you regularly smoke marijuana?

At work?

While you are on duty.

And behind the wheel.

Marijuana.

Do you have a boyfriend?

Is it the one in the photo?

He looks like a queer.

Why is he wearing a flower behind his ear?

You know...

I see many murderers.

In movies and series.

Pukuar doesn't seem like one of them.

Tell me the truth,

like a man.

Do you believe that Pukuar could've killed that boy?

I don't like series.

When I worked in Karaganda, I saw many things.

I remember a guy.

He got up one morning.

He brushed his teeth.

And he cut up his whole family while they were asleep.

They asked him why and he didn't know what to answer.

A guy...

He beat up an old woman on the street.

She was half-dead.

He didn't even take her money.

You don't see it in their faces.

As for Pukuar...

He could've done it.

And he has.

I know it was him.

And that's all?

You're just taking the body away?

Who are you?

I am a journalist.

- From what channel? - From whichever one you want.

Listen to me, death occurred 24 hours ago.

The crime scene was contaminated.

All that remains is to examine the body at the laboratory.

Well, alright.

There is a suspect. You can take a DNA sample.

Why did you get me into this?

I didn't have a choice either.

Relax, we'll take care of her.

I hope so.

And what about those two accused of vandalism?

Already solved.

It's just 600.

For the both of us?

For you, don't worry.

If the test results show it wasn't him...

If they show it wasn't him, it wasn't him.

If they show it wasn't him,

they must still show it was him.

It will be him, then.

We're leaving.

Wait here, I'll be back.

I have to pay a debt.

There may be wolves around here don't get out of the car.

Do you have tea?

We have a problem.

The Prosecutor's office is watching us.

There is a journalist in my car. She is reopening cases.

There is a snitch among us.

A snitch?

It's me.

What are you saying?

I'm not kidding.

Why?

I will snitch on you, if necessary, and Nureke too.

You do not understand?

This is serious.

I had to share, to confess.

Is it a question of money?

Why didn't you call me?

There won't be a way back.

They are watching everyone, me, Nureke, you.

Whether they're watching or not,

you are a dead man.

And so am I.

Or do you still expect something from life?

No.

Haven't done so in a long while.

Give me...

a reason.

Just one reason.

So that I can settle this another way.

Please.

Did you want some tea?

Yes.

Go.

Now we'll go to town.

We'll find the boy's classmate.

He's the one they last saw him with.

We'll take his statement.

Go meet his parents, finally.

Question them.

Find some of his friends.

- Can I eat in peace? - Yeah, sure.

Maybe we should go?

Shall we go?

I am out of gas.

I already told you that my card is blocked.

You pay and I'll give it to you later.

- I'll save the receipt so you can wire it over. - Alright.

But we will go, right?

Yes.

I am giving?

What's happening?

Nothing.

What, you don't know?

No.

There was a robbery out on the road.

It wasn't me.

- Why are you so tense then? - I'm not tense.

Are you high? You have red eyes.

I know it wasn't you.

I want the security tapes.

The cameras don't work.

- Are you an idiot or something? - I mean we're not recording.

Do you know what you can get for obstruction of justice?

Close the gas station and call your superior.

Maybe we can resolve this some other way?

What do you suggest?

Look, just give me a full tank on number 4, and three sandwiches.

Hurry up.

And some cigarettes.

We'll get married.

When are you getting married?

When you were silent,

it was excellent.

Silence suits you.

AT THE SERVICE OF MY PEOPLE

Alibekov!

Detective.

I've recognised you. Do you remember me?

Remember?

You killed my son two years ago during an interrogation.

His body was covered in bruises.

It wasn't cardiac arrest.

They killed him in that office.

- Did it happen here? - Yes.

- No, thanks. - Here.

Tell me.

I went to the store.

You were inside and you didn't see anything Is that so?

No, I didn't see anything. When I came back, he was no longer here.

I heard a car, a Jeep.

There were two men inside.

What men?

One was the guy from the posters?

Yes.

- Who did you tell that to? - Nobody.

You're sure?

- Who will you tell? - Nobody.

Who else was there?

That kid by the tractor.

He is always here.

Alright.

You can go.

- What's your name? - Bakha.

Bakha, let me ask you again and you give me the right answer. Think carefully.

Did you see two men

put a child into a black jeep and drive off into an unknown direction?

No.

Maybe you've heard that

that two men took a child in a black jeep?

I haven't.

- What happened to your nose? - I fell.

Good boy, that's right.

Want one?

I've already been given one.

Ok.

Hello.

Tell her to go away.

Please.

Ariana, go for a ride.

It's a wake, women aren't allowed.

- Come on, go. - Ok.

Do you know why no one is here?

I've sent everyone away from here for a week.

Have you heard about what happened here three years ago?

They came by bus and took away everyone who took part in the pogroms.

Seven or eight people died.

Do you know what will happen if the other villages find out about it?

Would you want that?

No.

It will be the end of our business.

Brother, just kill that pederast.

Let me kill him.

- Who? - The pederast.

We'll settle it ourselves.

I'm sorry.

I can't do it now.

That journalist is with me.

She will go back to town in a few days,

and then we'll take care it.

What are you saying, man?

A few days?

Kara.

Do you have a flat?

I'm on the waiting list.

Waiting list.

You will have a flat, a good car.

And that girl, she will be yours too.

- What if I kill him? - Fuck off.

Enough, guys. Clear out.

You are going to kill him.

You promise?

Zambeke, what are you doing?

In front of the journalist.

I will do it, discreetly.

You have 24 hours.

Understood?

Well, take care.

Sorry, I just stood there

without doing anything.

When I see violence,

I freeze,

and I can not do anything.

You think that was violence?

You know when the real violence will begin?

When you go back across the border,

and make a career

thanks to this sensational case.

You will be congratulated by...

your foundation, or whatever.

They will say: "Good work."

You fight

for the rights of man."

And here, they will kill us all.

I have examined your case files.

In two years,

eleven suspects under your custody committed suicide.

There were women among them, Bekzat, and two teenagers.

That's quite a lot, isn't it?

For a rural detective.

Once upon a time a very very dark man,

In a very very dark realm,

He got used to the dark,

but he dreamed of seeing the light.

The question is:

How can he see the light

if he is in the dark?

The answer is:

He must disappear.

Stay here.

Fucking stay here.

What's happened?

We've come to see the chief inspector.

What for?

To get a file.

We're transporting the prisoner to the city.

Alibekov?

Go on in.

Stay here.

We need the file.

Miss?

- Are you a journalist? - Yes.

Saparova?

- Yes. - Ariana?

Follow me.

Over there.

Sit down.

Are you from the Kostanai region, Alibekov, Bekzat Bolatovich?

So am I.

Maybe you'd like to be on my team.

I need people like you.

Athletic.

You speak foreign languages.

What are you doing here?

How have you survived here?

Where's your service weapon?

Don't worry, I'm not wearing mine either.

Isn't this yours?

0017 is your number, right?

I don't know what to do.

I have two versions.

Suicide or...

You choose.

Sign that and read.

Are you the one investigating me?

Have you discovered many things?

Montesquieu wrote:

"A despotic government needs fear:

"As for virtue, It's not necessary,

and honor would be a dangerous thing."

No?

'Montesieu'?

At the time of the arrest this person was under the influence of narcotics.

She injured herself by falling and hitting her face...

Sit down.

...against a concrete block.

She refused medical care and did not want to file a complaint

since around thirty people had witnessed the incident.

Sit down.

Do you know that Bekzat Alibekov made a complaint against you?

Here.

We must now do a body search.

Stand up.

During the search we found narcotics

in a higher quantity to which the law allows.

Stand up.

Now we'll go to the police station.

And later they will deport you to your country.

Why did come here at all?

Get in.

MONTESQUIEU The Spirit of the Laws

How is our thing going?

What thing?

You know very well what.

We're working on it.

There are...

some unclear aspects.

What unclear aspects? It's all cut and dry.

There are...

some questions.

We're still awaiting some results.

Listen...

Close the case, and tomorrow at 6 p.m. I want your report.

Get to work.

Bekzat.

You like this whole business, right?

And so do I.

Come on, dear.

Stay here.

Let's play hide and seek.

Don't move, you are hiding.

Don't move.

We're playing the game. Don't move.

Understood?

Stay still.

Don't move.

Stand straight.

Stand straight. Straight.

That's it. Stand like this.

Pukuar, you hear me? Stand like this.

We're playing.

Look, it's steppe grass.

It's rough, not pretty.

But what colors it produces for paint.

It's good here.

Maybe I'll come live here too on that hill.

No one will find me.

But not next to me. I don't need a dead cop here.

- Go take a hike. - You go take one.

- You old shit. - Asshole.

Bastard.

Scum.

Kekish, I'll leave my passengers with you.

- Can they stay here? - Sure.

Don't fret over them too much.

They are quiet,

but they eat a lot.

- This is for now. - No, I don't want money.

Take it, they really eat a lot.

Do you remember that fool, Timka, from boarding school?

The tall one, who used to be a goalkeeper.

- The beanpole. - Yeah.

Remember the three of us stole cookies from the pantry and you and I ran off.

He stayed there and was almost beaten to death.

Whenever I recall that I wonder why he stayed there.

To cover our asses,

or if he really was just stupid.

He was stupid.

- You're alone? - Yes.

Where's the hook-nosed guy?

I buried him.

What do you mean you buried him? Where?

About 10 km down the road.

What the hell? We need the body.

For forensics.

Let's go then, I'll show you.

Hey, what's wrong with you? Is it your first day or something?

Let's go, follow me.

Why would we do that? Let's go in our car.

This way you save gas.

And we can talk.

Get in.

Anyway, here's a joke.

It's called 'The Horny Moose'.

A bear comes out to the edge of the forest and sees all the animals fleeing.

He asks: "Hey, what's up? Where are you all going?"

And they respond: "You haven't heard?"

"There is a sexual predator in the forest."

"A horny moose, he fucks everyone."

"So what? I'm a bear. I'll finish him off with one left hook."

So the bear goes back in the forest and suddenly sees some bushes shake.

And from behind he hears:

"Good evening!"

"Good evening!"

"Good evening!"

I have another joke.

There are three cops sitting in a car.

Two smart ones, and one stupid.

He's stupid because he thought he was smarter than the other two.

Why? Because he was setting them up.

He ratted on them the whole time and didn't share bribes.

And most importantly, he disappointed a very important person.

He took the cash, but didn't get rid of the guy.

To be honest, I don't remember...

...how that joke ends.

In the end they kill dumb cop.

I heard another ending.

One where they all live.

I've never betrayed anyone, Takque.

I never ratted. Or, okay...

Maybe I did rat a bit but...

never one of ours.

Takque.

You know me, I'm a soldier, I do what they tell me.

Please.

Takque, please.

If he isn't killed, they will do it themselves.

How about I tell a joke too. It's funny.

A fox walks through the forest and he comes upon a hedgehog...

No, two hedgehogs. One big, one small.

The little one has a gun and...

That's enough.

The hedgehog says:

Should I call the police?

Then we'll need to get rid of that cop, the one sticking his nose everywhere.

Let's think about it first, then we'll decide.

What is this crap?

You have...

You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say will... can... and will...

be used against you in court.

You have the right to a lawyer.

If you cannot afford a lawyer,

one will be appointed for you.
