EPISODE 9

Oh boy, with your spying skills

you had to work for us, not in the Fashion House.

Why have you done it?

I wanted to warn you.

I am going to blackmail your husband with these photos.

A KGB general?

You are a reckless girl.

- Have you bought it? - Yes.

Good boy. Come here.

This is my only opportunity to return to previous life.

Katya, do you want advice?

Stop clinging to the past.

Live on.

Shall we go?

Our dad is waiting for us.

How is your solfeggio?

- I’ve got an excellent mark. - Well done.

- I am ready for the second ti… - Yes.

Bah. How quick we are.

And at home, even the first one is a burden.

Toma, why are you here?

Why your lawful wife barged in here and don't let you

and your lover from sinking in pleasures and depravity, right?

- What depravity? - Are you a complete idiot?

You’ve made a brothel here!

What brothel?

Well, I am here to dot all the i’s.

I’ve long endured your escapades while it concerned only our private life.

But it turned out that others are aware of your affairs.

So it’s time to cut it out.

I’ve long put up with your adultery and turned a blind eye to it until

it came to threaten my career and yours.

There is evidence of your affairs.

Moreover, if these photos get to your bosses

or – which is worse – to mine,

we both will become history alongside with our careers!

Is it clear?

Say something.

It is absolutely clear, no need to shout.

Well, dear, give up this clowning round.

Aha.

- The problem needs to be solved. - Aha.

Get ready and we’ll go.

He won’t go anywhere. He loves me.

Oh, really?

I’ll wait for you downstairs.

Do you mean you’ll go now?

Dina, I have to do so, get it?

What do you have to do?

You told me you love me and you’d leave her.

Do stop getting histerical! Fool!

Manya!

- Can’t you hear me? - What on earth has happened?

- Why do you shout like that? - You can’t hear me!

- So I have to shout. - What do you want?

You’ve brought me cold tea.

I’ve brought you three hot teas.

It’s cold as ice. I cannot drink cold tea.

Bring me some good hot tea.

OK. I’ll get you the fourth hot tea.

And bring me powder and a lipstick.

Valera will come soon.

And an eyebrow pencil.

- Quick. - Shh.

Where are the negatives?

They are in a secure place.

You are very lucky that I was asked to find a peaceful solution here.

You give the negatives and go the piece.

Otherwise, your family will suffer too.

And what do they have to do with it?

Katya...

Well done.

Yes, I’ve totally forgotten. I have news for you.

A good one and a bad one.

A bad one - you work at the Fashion House again.

A good one - going abroad is prohibited to you.

For ever.

As I understand,

this is a compensation for the spoilt night?

- Well... sorry, I’ve been frustrated. - Frustrated?

Edik, I need a man, not a housewife.

Maybe you’ll consult a doctor?

Yes, of course, I will.

Yes... Of course... I will…

Thank you for everything.

Volodya, if you do it once again, we’ll have a quarrel.

I am very grateful to you.

I would have failed without you, really.

- But nothing is possible between us. - Katya...

Katya... You’ve done well to come.

Volodya, hello!

- Have some tea with us. - Sorry, I can’t.

Maybe next time.

Why do you treat him that way? You’ve offended the fellow.

He loves you so.

And I love you!

Let’s go. Oh! Come!

- Thank you for sheltering me. - Don’t say that!

Katya, you...

- And I have good news! - What news?

I work in the Fashion House again.

Wow! Katya!

And I have wonderful news.

I finally got an opportunity to have a personal exhibition.

- Terrific! - You bet!

But there are so many problems now!

Selecting the pictures,

displaying them in a favorable place in lighting terms

and so on and so forth.

Here.

Now I am ready to help you with everything.

It’s only with you that I can move on!

Ah! Come! I’ll show you your room.

Come here.

That’s the place.

Settle yourself.

Now, the suitcase.

Hello!

Hello.

I’m missing you so much. Just dying.

I’m at work, Dina.

I see, but... you don’t come to shows, don’t call.

You’re a clever girl, you should understand everything.

Do you want to say that we’re through?

- No, you can’t do that to me. - Hello.

You said you love me and would get divorced.

Dina, I have no time now.

You never have the time for me.

Dina,

I’ll call you later and we will discuss everything.

- Promise? - I promise.

I have to be off.

David, I want Dina Radova to be dismissed from

the Fashion House today.

I see.

- Ready? - Aha.

Go!

Towards me.

OK. OK.

Adjust your collar, please.

Now look up...

- Can I have a break for a minute? - Sure.

- Hello, Reme! - Hello, Katya!

- What are you doing here? - I came to Moscow to see you.

I was told at your place of work where to find you.

And now I’m here.

- We’ll soon end it up. - I’ll wait for you here.

That’s a deal!

So what?

Shall we continue?

Aha...

Excellent... Well...

Let me express my condolences about your husband’s tragic death.

Thank you!

Everybody wrote that it was an accident, but I don’t believe in it.

I’ve visited all the cities where USSR fashion shows were being held.

But I didn’t find you there.

I couldn’t understand how one can hide such extraordinary beauty from the world.

You speak Russian very well.

I hoped we would meet one day.

So I was a diligent pupil.

Katya,

I’m very happy to meet you.

Once your photos warmed my heart,

so let me invite you to a restaurant for dinner.

- I’d do so with pleasure, but I can’t. - Why not?

I promised my sister to come to my nephew’s birthday to the village.

I’ve never been to a Russian village.

Well, it’s absolutely clear.

So don’t run.

Stepan Arkadievich, I am about to go.

There was no need to call here!

- Going to the granny again? - Right.

- Vera Ivanovna is feeling bad. - Stop pulling my leg!

You are going to her.

Galya, how can I explain?

Friendship with this family is like a part of my work.

Do you think that this room

and coupons for the sideboard came to us for nothing?

I understand, of course.

She is an artist, I am a type designer. You are not attracted to me.

You wish you had not brought me here?

We are husband and wife.

Wife follows husband.

Thread follows the needle. We are just that!

An eye and a hook.

Go.

And what was the urge of moving in the morning?

Couldn’t you wait till the evening?

No, I couldn’t.

I had to leave work earlier.

Otherwise you’d have to leave your wife earlier.

I can imagine Galya’s face when she found out that I left my husband

and you were transporting me.

She would never believe it is friend’s help.

Friend’s help. Tell me.

Do you still like me?

All men of the Soviet Union like you.

Maybe one more time then?

I don’t enter the same river twice.

Let’s go.

All right. Never mind.

Aunt Vera!

Manya! That’s a joy!

I haven’t seen much of you recently.

Sorry.

Business, shooting, interviews.

You might as well find a minute for an ill aunt.

Now we will see each other often. I’m divorcing Akopov.

- Well, I said so. - You said that we don’t match.

So you are happy that I am staying?

Manya! I am very happy.

- I’m tired of being alone. - Alone?

- And what about uncle Stepa? - He’s old.

Old people should not live together. They should keep to the young.

And drink their young blood.

- What did you say? - Nothing. I’d better go.

Will you bring my things in?

How are you, Vera Ivanovna?

I always feel better when I see you.

I’ve brought you the medicine as I promised.

Thank you, Valera!

Now I am sure to dance at your wedding.

If I weren’t married, we would dance without fail.

I’ll go to take up the things.

I’ll join you later.

Right. Kolya, this necktie suits you very much.

Yes, it’s Galya’s gift to me.

Galya?

Who is Galya?

It’s unimportant.

Galya...

Dad!

- Get in. - I won’t go until I talk to her.

What for are you asking for trouble?

Why have you barged in here? What have you taken Sasha with you for?

And what did I have to do? Pretending that nothing is happening?

- And what's happening? - You are at your lover’s house!

- I helped her to carry the suitcases. - To the bed?

- Get in. - Can I sit at the wheel?

Yes, you can, just 10 years later.

- Get in. - I won’t go.

Last warning. You know me.

- I won’t go! - GET IN!

And behave well, don’t get funny. Clear?

Simple as that.

Toma.

Good-bye, mum and dad!

Behave well! Watch yourself!

Return to take me after you carry the children.

- Hello! - Hello!

You’ve got a very nice house.

Do you own it?

Yes, and everything around is ours.

And what do you do for a living?

I am retired with honors.

I am a war invalid.

I never spared my life for the Motherland.

Look how...

Tell me this.

How do ordinary working people live in France?

Well, not so good.

Unemployment, expensive accommodation.

Hmm,

and why don’t you overthrow the power of these bourgeois and capitalists then?

C’est la vie.

They had to visit Matkino.

Then they would find out what bad is.

- The Soviet power gave you everything. - What did it give to me?

At least the alimony from your husband. They found him and collected his debts.

Except that. That’s something at least.

- Let’s get changed. - So be quiet. Bah

Katya, why are you like a stranger?

Go lay the table.

We have a guest from France, anyway.

- Shall I help you? - No, don’t. She’ll do it herself.

Katya, and take some premium moonshine.

Tell me, is this your camera? From abroad?

Let me take your photo.

My photo?

All right.

Is he a real Frenchman?

No, it’s a toy.

Of course, a real one.

He’s handsome.

Excellent!

Excellent!

Have you had anything?

Lyuba, there you go again.

Oh my!

Katya, I thought what.

In general, don’t sell it.

That’s yours.

Leave it for yourself.

You’ll give it to your daughter-in-law once.

Katya, forgive me.

I was very angry then.

I forgave you a long time ago.

I have a feeling that I returned to my childhood.

When I was small,

I thought I could move stones.

I looked at them for a long time and was sure that they were moving.

And when I was a child, I always hid under that tree

when my parents were quarreling.

It seemed magic to me,

and I thought it would protect me from all bad things.

Now I will protect you.

Reme, have we dropped the formalities?

Excuse me.

These are the most delicious apples in the world?

We’ll check it out now.

- And whose house is this? - My father’s.

Pardon?

It somehow happened that there are two fathers in my life.

- Is it good to have two fathers? - Yes. I like it very much.

- Meet Konstantin Arkadievich. - Hello.

Goncharov. Artist.

Reme Pachet. How to say that in Russian?

A photo artist.

Reme is a Frenchman.

Nice to meet you.

Your pronunciation is good.

It was he that taught me French.

Why didn’t you warn me we would have guests?

It just turned out that way.

I was going to my friend’s to the Volga today.

He has long invited me to the plein-air. He promises good weather.

I wanted to work for several days.

We aren’t going to ruin your plans. You can go and paint pictures there.

And can I see your works?

You know... with pleasure! I have some time.

Let’s come over to that room.

Over there.

- Can I say you something? - Yes?

Don’t show my country portrait to him.

That’s where I wanted to start.

I’m joking, of course.

- Sorry for coming so late. - Never mind. It’s OK.

Stepan Arkadievich, tell me what to do with Valera.

Shall I write to the editorial, they will give him a fright?

Inviting the public into your family bed is the last thing to do.

Moreover,

adultery is natural for men.

Vasily Fedorov has such a verse.

“Be faithful, – you’re asking me tenderly.

- Yes, dearest, I am faithful to you…

But is there some other way to learn you are the best in the world?”

Well.

What shall I do then?

Are you baptized?

- Yes, my granny had baptized me. - Go to church then.

Maybe they will tell you.

- To church? - To church, yes.

And mum also tells me to go to church.

Excuse me, where shall I put a candle against my husband’s lover?

They will tell you.

Just cross yourself.

And whom to pray to prevent husband from being unfaithful?

Kneel down and pray about peace in the family.

Pray to whom?

To our father... patron.

And why kneel down?

To suppress your pride.

But... why kneel down if this is our father?

My dear,

you seem to have come to a wrong place.

Off you go.

Guard your man yourself.

David Lvovich...

Radova, what are you doing here?

I visit different institutions, trying to find justice.

I want to be taken back to work. You didn’t want to help me.

The decision of your dismissal from the Fashion House

had been made once and for all.

- Am I worse than the others? - The top management knows better.

I didn't take this decision.

I’ve served your department for so many years.

And this is your civil duty, Dina.

It was written by Felix Krutsky.

- Your former husband? - Yes.

They wanted to steal it and publish under a different name.

They will never allow to print it in our country.

You said you have many friends and acquaintances who could help.

I want this manuscript to be published.

I’ll do my best. I promise.

Promise me we will see each other again.

Of course, we will.

I will come to you or you’ll visit me.

I won’t be able to.

Nobody will let me out of the country.

I’ll come for you.

We’ll be together forever.

I love you.

This is my personal thing.

You have no right to that, Mister.

Gek Teplitsky.

Only films.

Mister Pachet, we won’t detain you any more.

I will complain to the French council.

You have the right to complain.

But this is not in your interests if you ever want to return to our country.

- Why are you here? - To talk.

Say it then.

Tell me how mean I am and how you hate me.

Maybe you will feel better then? Shall we have a drink?

We will hardly settle it in the cold light of day.

So, what should I do with you, actress?

Kill me.

Indeed…

to serve a term because of such a bitch…

I can’t propose you anything different.

I have a strong crush on Valera.

Don’t think bad of me. I’ve got a lot of men who propose to me,

but I cannot live without Valera. What can I do about it?

Take out your passport, open it and have a look.

- And what? - “And that”.

Do you have a stamp that he is your husband?

No, you don’t. But I have one.

Has it kept him?

Pour some more.

He will never desert me.

I know.

We have a son. Sasha.

So nimble, like his father.

Look here, you are a good girl.

I ask you in a friendly way - back off my husband.

I can’t.

I begged myself so many times: stop it!

And then you can’t regain self-possession.

He is so gentle that it takes your breath away.

You bet.

Why won’t we cut Valera into halves? Which part would you need, eh?

As a lawful wife, I'm the first to make a choice

I would need him being whole.

And I would have given his head away.

He’s got so much dimness in it…

You once said in a movie,

"I am so unhappy and so happy at the same time.”

It’s hard with Valera.

But it’s rotten without him.

Let’s do it this way.

There are few good men.

Let’s have one for two.

Don’t forget your passport.

- I’ll go. - All right.

What a beauty.

The girl looks fine,

she will be mine.

Dismissed.
