Alexander Lazarev? We wanted to ask a few questions about your brother.

Death certificate.

The Telephonera case is closed.

Once the deal goes through, you and I will be working even more closely.

And if you ever break that trust...

You said you would explain.

I can't.

We need to call off the deal.

We've already signed the contracts.

You don't have to worry anymore.

He's going to be in prison for a long time.

Stalin will not leave Gusin.

He's still alive. He staged his own death to save himself.

-Yeah. -He gave me a location.

I have material I can fax you once I've landed in Zurich.

Material that should help your friend and that will be the end of Lazarev.

Tatiana?

What's going on, Carl?

I don't know what's going on.

We should probably go to the bomb shelter.

Stay in the apartment.

-Okay. -Don't worry.

Everything's going to be fine. I'll be right there. I love you.

I love you.

Your husband, Victor Gusin, sent his regards.

No.

No.

No.

Oops! Pardon me.

Tatiana?

Tatiana?

No! Tatiana!

Tatiana. Tatiana.

Help! Hello?! Call an ambulance!

Tatiana. Look at me.

Tatiana? Look at me.

Tatiana?

Don't die!

Tatiana! Please!

Tatiana!

Please stay with me.

Tatiana!

Stay! No!

Stay with me!

Tatiana!

No.

Tatiana, no. No...

He's here. Everything's going according to plan.

Max Anger.

Please, come on in.

Please, come on in.

Have a seat. Feel comfortable.

It may come as a surprise,

but I'll be frank.

I've been looking forward to having this meeting.

Have you heard about Soviet champagne?

Our wine producers put a lot of work

in finding the kind of wine that would meet

the demands of the most discerning connoisseurs.

Cheers.

Tender and delicious, ain't it?

It tastes like shit.

Excuse me, maybe you saw a grey Mercedes driving by?

No. Dunno, didn't see it.

Thank you!

It was just a form of sedative.

It will come over in couple of minutes.

-I thought you... -Let's talk about why I'm here.

Oh, we will.

But first, I wanna know who you shared those lies with?

If they're just lies...

what does it matter?

'Cause lies can cause more damage than the truth.

You're gonna know about that very soon.

Where is she?

We'd better start with the documents.

Max!

Yeah, you are young, but you are neither deaf nor blind.

You've seen enough to clearly understand

that something has gone fundamentally wrong here in Russia.

Your so-called "market liberalist system"

has destroyed our country.

My country,

completely, for five years.

And you think you have us where you want us.

We will be your dogs. You toss us a bone now and then...

and expect us to heel.

Wait until you give us a pet.

Do you think this is a real Russian mentality?

Our people are great and powerful.

They only allow themselves to be governed by a strong hand.

And Zyuganov?

He'll never be a real leader!

Yeltsin is a good shield!

He's perfect shield.

In this traitor's shadow, in peace and quiet,

we'll bring up a new leader of this country.

Just under the West's nose,

and in the name of democracy.

Just give it a few years.

The new era of strong leadership is coming,

just like it once was.

That's exactly what Russian people want and need.

I'm sure the 20 million or so that are rotting in the Gulag agree.

Look.

You have to be ready to do

what's necessary for the greater good, always.

Last chance, Max.

Who did you share your information with?

Well, that depends what information you're talking about.

Viktor Gusin.

Marcel Rousseau...

To his memory.

What, you haven't heard?

He's got a heart attack.

Just before he's supposed to go to the airport.

Sad.

Luckily, I was able to save his briefcase.

You're gonna be surprised.

Bullshit.

Just speculation.

Not a single piece of evidence.

Ruslan, here's the thing...

The medical examiner first said that it was a heart attack.

According to the neighbors,

they have heard some kind of noise.

They described two men

who left the building

before the body was found.

I'd like to talk to Papanova.

My information didn't come from Marcel Rousseau.

"Preparation of coup d'etat, treason and conspiracy."

Those were the charges, right?

You would have been sentenced to death.

The real Nestor Lazarev died on 11th of March, 1963.

And you lived on

as a free man.

You did a pretty good job hiding your past, but...

not good enough.

It will destroy you.

Your signature won't even be worth

the piece of paper it's written on, if this gets out.

Nestor Lazarev doesn't exist.

Viktor Gusin, however...

He will spend the rest of his life in prison.

Where's the original?

We have a lot to talk about, you and I.

If I don't make a call every hour,

a fax will be sent to the St. Petersburg Times.

Then to all the major news outlets in Scandinavia.

And to Interpol.

Which will happen any minute now.

Give me your phone.

Call.

Now!

Hello?

Who am I talking to?

I want to hear Max's voice.

Listen to me carefully.

One small mistake of yours and your Max is finished.

Max's voice. Now.

Talk.

Mira, if you don't hear anything in 30 minutes...

fax it.

Max?

Max?

Piotr.

Search the territory! Quick!

Here's what we're gonna do.

We're gonna to go to the central station as we agreed.

You'll get the original...

and you give me Pashie.

But I wanna speak to her first.

Ah, Pashie.

I almost forgot. I am sorry.

He would like to hear Pashie.

Let her go! Stop it!

Let her go!

Let her fucking go!

Pashie!

Pashie!

Let her the fuck go!

I'm fed up.

Now, how it's going to--

Fuck you!

It's so sad to see how weak you are.

Probably too influenced by the Swedish mentality.

You're addicted to benzo, Max.

Why?

You're a soldier.

Were you at war?

Did you lose a friend?

Yeah, I've seen strong men crying like babies over a comrade's death.

Or... was it something else?

Something from your childhood?

An absent father who drank too much?

Who decided one morning to end it all?

How did he die?

He hung himself, right?

Well, that's what you think.

You recognize this, Max, right?

I know your father was wondering who they were.

But you've come further than he did.

Carl Borgenstierna.

And Viktor Gusin is sitting right in front of you.

But...

who is that woman?

Her name was Tatiana Gusina. Rings a bell?

She was my wife.

And your grandmother.

I woulda given you everything, Max.

Everything.

Yes.

I need to meet you.

It's about Marcel Rousseau.

He was found dead, and judging by the circumstances, it was murder.

Sorry to hear that.

But are you waiting for my permission to deliver flowers to his family?

You don't understand, Nestor.

There are details I can't talk about on the phone.

Fine, let's talk about that in my office tomorrow.

No, we have to deal with all of this right now.

One of the representatives of the SPGSN was found dead.

We have a description of the suspects.

This can be a major problem for the deal,

not to mention that all of this needs to be dealt with right now.

Bitch!

The alarm went off on the roof.

Fuck. Take Nikolay and go check it.

Listen, Igor.

Take this young man to the basement, to his girlfriend.

Let's finish this already.

I'm sorry, Max.

It didn't end the way I planned.

Call Igor.

He not picking up his phone.

Everything will be okay.

Okay?

Wait here, wait here.

-What? -Wait here, okay?

Igor?

Igor?

Kolya, do you have a spare gun?

Wait, wait! Wait!

Let's talk.

You shouldn't have dug into my past.

Your father was killed for the same reason.

He was weak.

He cried when one of my men hung him in the shed.

I'm sorry.

Fuck, shoot him!

Max!

Hold on, please. Okay, calm.

You will live. What to do...

Max, get up.

-Say that... -It won't end well.

-He's alive! -But who knows for how long.

Go to the car. Call the ambulance.

Quick.

Help...

"Help."

You put everything in jeopardy.

But your death will fix it all.

-Gavril, you understood everything? -Yes.

This is Kostya's cousin, Gavrel.

-Hi. -Hi.

He'll take you over the border to Lithuania.

It will be easier for you to get to Sweden from there.

-Okay. -Okay.

Thank you.

Thank you.

For everything.

Your dad would've been proud of you.

Yours, too, Max.

With votes in the second round of the Russian presidential election counted

it's now clear that sitting president Boris Yeltsin

has been elected to a second term.

Yeltsin managed to garner 54% of the votes,

compared to challenger Zyuganov, who received 40%.

According to experts, this means that democracy in Russian is now secured,

and as a direct result, world stock exchanges rose today.

At close, Stockholm's Stock Exchange had risen five percentage points.

With turbulence in Russian telecom company SPGSM has subsiding,

the big deal with Telephonera was closed today.

Our friends in the East have demonstrated in a remarkable manner

how a closed-off country can open up and become a stable,

Western democracy in a short period of time.

And with this deal, we want to show the world that we believe

this progress will continue.

Former police chief Julia Papanova was inaugurated today

as the new mayor of St. Petersburg,

and in her inaugural speech she too touched on the telecom deal

and SPGSM's internal irregularities.

I will work actively

for a more open business climate,

with greater transparency,

coupled with increased control,

so plots of the kind planned by

Nestor Lazarev, Marcel Rousseau

and Swedish citizen, David Juhlin,

can be identified early on.

Hey!

Tomorrow, Nova GSM will begin negotiations

on a merger with Norwegian Telemarka.

-Arlanda. -Holiday?

Work.

Oslo.

Now it's time for the weather. How are things looking, Markus?

So. I guess we'll never know what David had planned with that...

Security chief and... kids and everything.

-So, tomorrow? -Mm.

I can't leave the faculty in a bind.

The movers are coming at six o'clock and I have a flight at twelve.

It will be empty without you.

So, what would Mishin have said if he knew Yeltsin would win again?

What would he have said?

That the same bastards are running things now as back then.

It used to be party leaders, and now large Western European companies

are the ones making a killing...

But without us, there's no faculty.

No...

Sometimes you wonder what you're doing.

Yeah...

Can you sleep at night?

Me neither.

Everything's fine... Kostya!

-I couldn't find a parking spot. -It's fine. How's mom?

Mom? The operation went well.

They'll let her go home in a week.

And you can be with Granny again.

Now take care of Uncle Kostya. Thanks for sitting with her.

It's fine.

-I'll be going then. Bye! -How are you doing?

I'm okay, I was told I'll soon be able to write by myself. Bye!

Your mom is a serious journalist! You know that?

Let's go home, fix a TV, if you want.

or solder some microcircuit.

Max?

He was hanging from that beam up there.

I was the one who found him.

He was always barefoot, I remember.

Even when it was freezing. I don't know what it was, but it...

We had argued the night before.

That was nothing new, we'd done it before, but...

I shouted at him that I hated him.

That I didn't want him as my father. That I wanted someone else...

It's so strange, because even though I know he didn't...

kill himself, it still feels like it's my fault.

Tatiana was the love of my life.

When she was taken from me, a part of me died.

But the doctors managed to save the baby's life.

It was a miracle that he survived.

But I knew he wouldn't be safe with me as long as Viktor Gusin was alive.

I managed to convince chief physician Wallentin to write:

father and mother unknown.

And then we found the Angers here in Arholma.

They didn't know who he was or where he came from.

And they didn't ask questions.

I had intended to come out here and tell Jacob,

when I received news of Viktor Gusin's death.

This was in 1963.

But something inside me said no, it was too late.

It was better to remain silent.

leave them in peace and let Jacob live his life.

I have regretted this many times.

Again, I'm so terribly sorry for what you've had to endure.

If only I had known...

An adopted boy searches for his roots,

and it ends in his death...

Which one of you...

...is Jacob's father?

None of us know who Jacob's father is.

You are the only one I have ever loved.

What I'm going to tell you has to stay between us.

You can't ever tell anyone. Promise me.

I promise you.

The beautiful life growing inside me comes from evil.

When we got married, the whole ruling elite was present.

Even Stalin. And on our wedding night,

he was a gift to me.

From my husband. Our great leader.

Tatiana...

This is our baby. This is our baby.

I'm going to take care of it. I'm going to take care of you.

We're going to be a family.

Are you coming?

Yes.
