Original subtitles

Buddy, can I get a ride to Mosfilm?

Sorry, cinema guy, my shift starts in ten minutes.

Good afternoon. Can I get a ride to Arbat?

I’m sorry, miss. I already have a fare.

I keep driving behind you and thinking, where have I seen you?

Was it in a movie? What’s your name?

Tatyana... Smirnova.

Smirnova. That’s what I thought!

I saw you on the silver screen.

You must be thinking of Lidiya Smirnova. Only she’s a lot older than I am.

No. Now I’ve got it!

You’re the spitting image of my friend. She’s Tatyana too.

Very interesting.

Well, only she’s... a watchman at a factory.

You look like an actress.

I’m an veterinary technician on my kolkhoz.

I’m visiting a friend.

Get in. I’ll take you to your friend.

It’s raining. You’ll get wet.

Come on, get in.

Thank you.

I see you’ve got feet like Cinderella.

Size six?

Yes.

How did you know?

Intuition.

Let me see.

Let me see. Don’t be shy.

Okay.

Yeah.

But... where’s the other one?

Not far away, at my house.

Let’s stop in.

Stop the car. I’ll get out.

Beautiful.

Shall we dance?

Let’s go first thing in the morning.

Would you like some champagne?

Yeah, and offer me a shoe too.

Been in Moscow long?

I just got here today.

Where’s your mother?

In the countryside.

Tambov Region, the village of Novaya Lyada. Number 18.

Wait here.

I also came to Moscow from the countryside.

One thing led to another.

But life goes on, and I had to raise my little brother.

I didn’t have a mother to go back to.

But you do have one.

What’s your name?

Tanya.

Tanya.

Go home, Tanya.

There’s nothing here for you in Moscow.

Thank you so very much.

Svetka will die when she sees this.

Ladies.

You both are so beautiful.

Tanyush, what is it?

Tanya!

Wait! What’s your phone number?

Tanya, wait! What’s your friend’s phone number?

Get your stuff. Now.

-Since when am I a burden? -I told you. Now!

Why is this happening?

Tanya!

Tanya!

Did you do it?

She was at the taxi driver’s.

Good.

EPISODE 6

-Andrei-- -We have 100,000 in the safe.

We split it equally, then each go our own way.

No more rags, panels or greenbacks.

Andryush, are you still asleep?

We’ve got something.

Bor, Zina’s in the hospital.

What?

What happened?

What happened?

Say something, Andrei! What happened?

The German at the hotel thought she was Tatyana.

And...

-Where is he? -Who?

I’ll wrap his intestines around his neck.

Calm down. The German’s gone!

Diplomatic immunity! Damn your mother!

Where was Tatyana?

She was supposed to go.

Why did Zina go instead of her, huh?

Why did you let her go? Are you all out of your minds?

And who wanted a beautiful life, huh?

Do I have to remind you?

“To live a real life”!

Only this, Kostyl...

is real life!

Stick together!

That’s enough.

We already tried that.

Wasn’t it enough for you?

Devil knows where Tanya is.

Zina’s in the hospital.

Time to stop playing games.

Bor.

Are you sexually active?

No.

Well--

She is.

How many sexual partners have you had?

One.

-Any children? -No.

Now you might not be able to.

How did you let this happen?

Show it to him.

Kostyl, do you remember Mutnyi?

So, he’s Tanya’s brother.

Nice family.

“Tanya knows everything. Tanya will take care of it.”

Mutnyi also knew everything and took care of things.

I told you she’d ditch us.

And she snitched about the panels.

It wasn’t her. It was Syoma.

It wasn’t her in the hotel either?

Maybe she’s drinking tea in police headquarters right now.

Zina’s my sister!

Why are you making me your scapegoat? You think this is easy?

You call yourself a brother.

You’re a loser. That’s what you are.

Georgy Mikhalych, this just came in.

They found her where the taxi driver lives, that Zadorozhny.

You wanted to see everything on him.

Have you ID’d her?

She didn’t have any documents, only a train ticket. We’re working on it.

I need to check something.

She’ll be discharged tomorrow. Come then!

We’re here now.

We should wait until tomorrow? Sure. We can do that.

No visiting without white coats!

Where’s Andrei?

He’ll stop by later.

Bor, what are we going to tell Grandma?

We won’t. Don’t worry about it right now.

Bor, bring me a change of clothes, okay?

Of course.

We’ll think of something to tell Grandma.

We’ll tell her you stayed at Natasha’s, and she didn’t have a phone.

She’ll be upset that I left without telling her.

I’ll be right back.

Okay.

Go ahead. I’ll stay here.

Would you like some water?

What’s going on?

“I always wanted something before the war-- an ice cream for five kopecks,

an ‘A’ on the exam, a new dress. And now”...

I always wanted something before the war--

an ice cream pop--

An ice cream for five kopecks--

“And now it’s all gone. No ice cream, no dress”--

Dad!

I’m going to rehearsal first, then to class.

Is this yours?

Are you going to arrest me?

No. Not yet.

Why not?

-The witnesses won’t talk? -That’s not it.

The witnesses are actually... singing like birds--

about your gang...

about Nadya.

And she should not be mixed up in this.

She’s not.

She never was.

Write it just like that.

In full.

SPUTNIK 1962

Why are you sitting here so quietly?

Secrets?

Dad, what’s going on?

Andrei, what are you doing?

I’m writing...

a full confession.

Why did you throw Zina under him, huh?

She-- She should be like a sister to you.

-She wasn’t supposed to go. -And who was?

-Tatyana. -Nikolaeva?

Yes.

She was found this morning--

where your friend, the taxi driver, lives. Sergei Zadorozhnyi.

-Dad, what’s going? -Here’s what’s going on.

Andrei and his friends set up an illegal deal with a foreigner.

They wanted to make some cash.

A prostitute was supposed to go to the hotel.

But she didn’t show up, so these geniuses sent Zina--

an 18-year-old girl-- to a foreign swindler,

and he raped her in the room!

Why didn’t you go to meet him? You hero!

There will be no confession.

If you force him to confess, we’ll go prison together--

me, Andrei

and our baby.

Nadya.

Nadya.

Nadya!

Is it true?

Nadya.

-Nadya. -Not now.

I--

We’ll talk this evening, okay?

Ah!

My friends no lie. Tatyana say you honest businessman.

But we’re cleaned out!

The cops took the icons and the money. Tatyana’s disappeared.

We want the money.

If we don’t have it in three days, you all--

Wait! Where’s Tatyana, huh?

She say very important client.

Tell me, please!

Let’s go.

We need to get away before they get us.

Maybe he’ll write it off.

Andryukh, he let you go, after all.

-He let me go today. -Tomorrow--

Borya!

Bor! What happened, Bor?

-What happened? -I need some dough. Now.

Three days, or we’re dead meat.

100 grand. Got it?

And everything will be fine.

The Arabs and the diplomats are here.

They said they can’t find anyone.

Borya! What Arabs?

Can’t find who?

Bor, wait. Listen, Bor.

100,000 isn’t enough.

100,000 isn’t enough. But for now--

-Bor! -Bor, Tanya’s dead!

Which--

She was hiding out at Seryoga’s.

He said nothing, that bastard.

So she got...

Bor!

Borya!

Why didn’t you protect her, huh? Why?

And what about you?

Huh?

Listen to me, Rock and Roll.

Forget about her.

You’ll be safer.

Who am I?

What do you think?

That’s enough, Rock and Roll. Get out of the car.

You’ll scare off all my customers.

What do I do now?

Look at them all walking on the street.

Take any one of them.

“...loving each other-- that’s all we have.”

He wanted his life to be different...

Andryusha.

Andryusha.

Mikhail Arkadich called.

He needs to meet with a foreign delegation tomorrow.

It’s about translating his poems.

You were the best in English at the university.

Son, what is it?

-Andryusha, what happened? -I’m going to the editorial office.

Oh, God.

-Here’s to the jubilee! -What jubilee? You’re--

Two to the fifth power.

By the way, a milestone age.

Vasya Aksyonov! Come have a drink!

Vasily, so when are you going to finish the novella?

It’s time, my friend.

I’m writing, my friend. I’m writing.

What’s this?

I quit. Here are the manuscripts.

He already has my letter of resignation.

Mikhail Arkadich wanted you to have the manuscripts, Valeria Dmitrievna.

Are you tired of working?

I’m tired of being a secretary.

I’ll see you again... writer!

Who killed her?

Quit shouting.

Let’s take a walk.

If I were you, I’d be asking different questions.

Like what?

Like why the Security Committee people were there.

-Aren’t they always there? -Always...

when they’ve been tipped off.

For the next contest, I need six volunteers who can draw.

Ladies, please, come here.

-Don’t be shy! -Young men, you too!

Who tipped them off?

Now that’s the right question, Komsomol.

She wouldn’t.

She’s a hard-currency prostitute.

Where there’s currency, there are foreigners and national security issues.

It’s a speed-drawing contest.

The team that draws faster and better wins, comrades.

Let’s draw a horse.

Listen.

Did you know Mutnyi was her brother?

I wasn’t the only one who knew.

Pont?

I didn’t say that.

Then I did.

So, ready?

Go!

Ten, nine, eight...

You’ll never get him.

Many have tried.

...four, three, two, one! Done!

Let’s take a look.

Wonderful!

And now let’s see what we have here.

Whose horse is better?

Which team won?

-Friendship won, comrades! -Hurrah!

Okay. Tanechka, now turn a little bit to the side.

Look more serious.

After all, you’re a physicist. With the flick of an eyelash,

you can split an atom or break a man’s heart.

May I?

Five minutes.

And now let’s do what we did for the last scene.

You’re in the waiting room reading Mitya’s letter.

There is anguish and sadness in your eyes.

Well, that’s about it.

What? Are we finished already?

Tanechka, if it were up to me, I’d be photographing you forever.

But the editorial office of Sovetski Ekran is expecting the pictures this afternoon.

You know what a magazine cover is, especially with such a beauty on it.

-Good-bye, Maksim. -Good-bye. Thank you very much.

Did you want something?

To talk.

About what?

About whom.

About Tatyana.

Lavrova.

She’s a wonderful actress.

Are you also a fan of Nine Days of One Year?

Nikolaeva.

The prostitute who stole the heart of your musical friend?

Why did you kill her?

I did? That’s nonsense.

It’s odd that this is what you’re concerned about.

Why is that?

Well, I don’t know.

There are a lot of other, more interesting questions.

How is it that the person who showed up at the hotel was Vostrikov?

And the KGB.

Do you know what some jokesters say the KGB is?

They say it’s like God.

Because in our country, Andrei,

national security is the business of an agency that’s omnipresent...

and omnipotent.

Omnipresent.

HOSPITAL No. 23

-Just promise-- -I promise.

I haven’t said anything yet.

So, say it.

Promise you’re not going to ask me any questions

and you’re not going to tell anyone where you took me, especially Andrei.

Thank you.

Wait for me in the hallway.

-Hello. -What’s this about?

I would like to report a crime.

You need to fill out a form.

There’s a box by the entrance for tips from the public.

When will it be reviewed?

In due time.

You didn’t understand.

I have an appointment.

With whom? Rank and last name.

The captain.

-Does the captain have a last name? -Yes.

Captain Ivanov.

You should’ve started with that.

Room 142.

Yes, come in!

Hello.

Here to see me?

Yes.

The wiring is acting up again, and I can’t get an electrician to come.

Please.

What is this regarding?

I basically--

May I have the screwdriver, please?

No, the one next to it.

Thank you.

Keep going. I’m listening.

The thing is that I happened to have found out...

about-- about crimes.

That’s interesting. Now the pliers, please.

The small ones.

Yes. Thank you.

Keep talking.

These-- These crimes...

they’re... organized by a person...

who goes by the name of Pont.

Let there be light.

My hands still remember.

So, deals involving foreign currency.

Large deals.

Consignment stores, contraband.

-Anything else? -Also...

people around him die.

Interesting.

Very interesting.

Do you have any proof?

No, but...

Let me ask you, how do you know all of this?

I’m a witness.

Uh-huh.

Do you happen to have any more witnesses...

we could talk to?

No. No one else. Just me.

Andrei.

In this country, we can’t arrest a person without proof of their guilt.

You well know this.

It would be good if we caught them red-handed.

I’ll the get the proof.

Andrei, what do you do for a living?

I’m a writer.

A writer.

I see that you’ve got an imagination-- a literary imagination.

A young talent.

Andrei, you know what?

You should go...

and keep writing.

And let us do our job.

Agreed?

Agreed.

It’s been a while since I’ve seen a movie. So many new young actresses now.

I don’t understand how they have time to make films with them all.

NINA.

Look at this!

You’re not taking this seriously, Maksim.

If you’d brought me Marilyn Monroe--

Are you kidding me?

That’s a good joke.

That’s a good one.

So...

Do you remember the international exhibition?

Sokolniki, 1959.

What am I saying? Of course you do.

One might think you worked there.

The same goes for you.

Well, I did work there.

Good stuff, those international exhibitions--

everyone on the watch list in plain sight...

next to the stands.

By the way, about the watch list--

The young fartsa is getting pretty cocky.

It’s time to put an end to them.

Them?

Maybe you.

Let’s take a walk.

If your people were a little bit smarter--

Why didn’t you guide them? I didn’t call Vostrikov to the hotel.

Vostrikov, Vostrikov.

Everywhere you go, there’s Vostrikov.

Everywhere you go, there are dead bodies.

Is this your work, huh?

Tatyana.

A lot of knowledge-- a lot of sorrow.

Too many dead bodies. I didn’t give you my permission for this.

You didn’t forbid it either.

What’s not forbidden is permissible. It’s in the Constitution.

-Don’t get too cocky either. -Okay.

I can’t keep Vostrikov on a leash forever.

-What do your guys have on the horizon? -A couple of interesting things.

So get to work! Channels and contacts.

If you bring them in, we’ll take them-- if they don’t bring you in first.

Please.

Why?

Go ahead. Don’t you want to see?

Come on.

Kol! When are you gonna fix the light?

Well, shall we proceed?

So...

According to your daughter’s testimony...

on the tenth of this month, in your apartment,

there were two British military pilots.

Maksim.

Why are you still here? You can go.

This is how we work.

You should also get to work.

What are you doing, you pest?

What are you, blind?

Maybe I should rinse your eyes out with turpentine.

Zoya, Kuibyshev. Toma, Dirizhablestroi.

I need her discharge summary. I want to see the diagnosis.

Why should I give it to you? Who are you?

Acute cystitis.

Okay. Think it over.

Who are you to her?

Nobody.

Where have you been?

She was asking about you.

Andrei.

I just saw you in my dream.

Can you imagine? A cherry orchard just for the patients.

And I didn’t go there even once.

I spent all day indoors like a fool, thinking what if--

well, what if if they call me for my treatment.

Everything’s in blossom now, so beautiful. Let’s go see.

It’s too late.

It’s not late at all.

They bloom till late June sometimes. Let’s go.

Nadya.

I--

Hi.

Zina, we were just on our way up.

Well, we all found each other.

Lucky, huh?

Zin.

You--

You should go back to your room. It’s cold outside.

We’ll come get you tomorrow, okay?

Zina’s getting discharged tomorrow.

What time?

-At 12:00. -12:00.

I’ll get her.

Are you coming with me?

What’s going on with Vostrikov?

Nothing.

At least for now.

And later?

Will he drop the case?

He’s an honest detective.

He always sees everything through.

So, what’s next?

If it comes to it...

I’ll take all the blame.

That’s why...

we split the money and part ways now.

So that we’re not seen together.

Guys, what’s going on?
