Original subtitles

PREVIOUSLY

Do you hear me?

There was some collateral damage.

Some hikers or mushroomers.

You have very detailed dreams, Mr. Photographer.

Andreyevich, get in the car and come here.

I suddenly find myself next to a man. It's as if I were inside him.

Only when I’m certain he has no pathologies,

we can discuss his release.

He is in grave danger.

I don’t know how much time you have to stop him.

You break into a man’s house, talk to him, apologize, and leave.

Thirty minutes later, he gets killed.

I can’t!

The thing is, you’re either my friend or my enemy.

Now his threats include a girl I know.

I’m your upstairs neighbor.

We were in the elevator together.

Isn’t he in the hospital?

He ran away last night.

Who is it?

Hi. I’m looking for a man. I believe you can help me.

What man?

His name is Vladimir. Hi. He’s a tall guy.

He has a tattoo on his hand reading Vova.

What makes you think I know him?

It’s a long story. I know you know him.

What do you want from me?

His phone number or address.

What for? Take a seat.

Thanks. The thing is, I need to talk to him about something.

Why did you come to me?

I once came to your house with him.

He went in, and I waited outside.

I lost his phone number after that.

Please help me out.

I don’t see him often.

-I’ll go look it up. -Thank you.

-I had it somewhere. -Thanks.

Looks like we have a problem. Come.

To my rented apartment.

Ring the door.

If they ask say you’re from house maintenance.

About utility bills.

Okay.

Did you forget something?

-Hi. -Sorry.

I thought my husband came back. And you are?

I...

What’s wrong? Are you okay?

Now you’ll tell me everything, goddamned flick!

What? What is it?

What’s wrong with you?

God, you scared me. I called the ambulance.

They are coming. Here, take this. They are on their way.

Can you sit up? Come on. Lean on me.

Are you crazy? An ambulance? Go! Now!

Hold on.

Come on, go!

Wait. Where are you going?

-I need to-- -You look like death warmed over.

-Are you sure you’re okay? -Yes.

Why did you come?

House maintenance. Later.

Can you answer me?

Venedikt?

Shit.

Mom, I’m busy.

They’ve brought gas bottles.

Shit.

Shit, shit, shit!

What should I do now?

Run.

Nikolay Andreyevich. Run.

He doesn’t know you.

He’s not a cop.

He doesn’t know about Galenko.

What if he does?

Why the hell was he here, then?

Maybe he has some business with Vova.

That’s his business.

You need to have a good talk with him.

Are you going to torture him? Or kill him?

A piece of advice.

Pack your things before he comes around

and run.

This place was rented on a fake name.

You can just disappear.

What if he goes to the cops?

No.

He won’t do that.

They’d ask questions.

What would he say?

What was he doing at your place in handcuffs?

He doesn’t need that.

Were you collecting the money?

Kostya was supposed to bring the money.

He’ll bring it somewhere else. Get your stuff and let’s go.

Okay, Vova, the dumpster rat.

You’ll pay for this dearly.

Okay, go to the base. No sense to stay here.

He says they have nothing.

Nobody showed up at Malinin’s or at the Journalists’ House.

As Nikolayeva said--

Nikolayeva!

He can’t have vanished into thin air.

Maybe the road police got him.

The guys have checked the reports. He’s not in them.

What were they checking for?

He has no papers.

He could be registered as John Doe.

They can’t release him until they have ID’d him, right?

Sanya, run a check on all John Does.

Boss, are you serious?

Do you know how many precincts are in the city?

Not to mention the transport police.

So what?

Let the killer sleep in peace in a holding cell,

because we have too many?

Captain Saliutin can’t be bothered to call them all.

Can I at least finish my coffee?

What was that?

I don’t know.

My head hurts as if someone hit me with a pan.

Does it happen often?

This is the second time.

That time on the bridge and now.

Okay. Have some rest.

We’ll talk later.

Are you in trouble?

-Just you wait, asshole. I’ll find you!-Sure.

We’re here.

Thank you.

Are you leaving just like that?

What do you want, Denis?

Sveta, we’re adults. You know what I mean.

I know that.

Everybody around knows that.

Denis, go to your wife. Please.

I don’t have a wife. Not for a while now.

Just say a word, and she won’t come back. Ever.

Hands off.

Just promise me.

Hands off! You’re hurting me.

Okay, okay.

-Svetlana. -You?

-You... -Me.

I know I shouldn’t have, but I don’t have a choice.

The thing is...

I can’t get rid of them by myself.

And it’s a bit hard to be in the streets in them.

I don’t dare to ask who put them on you.

So you escaped from the police.

It’s not like that. I was trying to lead a private investigation.

And you decided to bring this to me.

I don’t have many friends

who might have a key for the handcuffs.

Right. Of course you had to come to the leader of the team

trying to arrest you.

Nice sense of humor. I don’t feel like joking, though.

I can imagine.

I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have...

Okay.

Come in.

Just be quiet.

I’m sorry, it’s me again.

What is it, Denis?

Anyway... I was wrong, okay?

You see us as friends and colleagues.

But I need you to hear me out.

So, I’ll come to your place, and we’ll talk over coffee or brandy

or anything.

We will sit down and talk like normal people.

Denis. Go home.

I just need to talk. Am I asking for too much?

Denis, please don’t yell.

Tone it down.

I don’t know how to explain it.

You and I aren’t going to work.

-You understand? -What if we are?

We aren’t.

Is it because of Sergey?

No, not because of him.

Whom, then?

Nobody, Denis.

It just won’t work.

Give it a try, Sveta.

Good night.

Thanks. What is this for?

Because if you don’t lie,

and I really hope you don’t,

the handcuffs bear fingerprints of the person who put them on you.

I should have figured it out.

Quiet!

Maybe they’ll let me stay here.

Look where you’re going.

-Yes. -Mom, what took you so long?

-Why are you still up? -I was waiting for you.

Who is he?

My friend. His name is Oleg.

We need to finish some work.

And you need to go to sleep.

Come on, go.

-Mommy! -Please go.

Are you a cop, like my mom?

No. I’m a photographer.

I’m helping her with a case.

Where is your camera?

At home. Do you like taking pictures?

I don’t know. We have a camera,

but I don’t know how to use it.

Let’s make a deal, Afanasiy.

If you do what your mom tells you,

I’ll show you how to take pictures.

Deal?

Hey, Miss All Thumbs. What is this swill?

What did I ask for? A daiquiri.

And this? This is a piss mojito!

Listen to me.

Firstly, she’s not Miss All Thumbs. Secondly, you’re an asshole.

Objections? Get out of here.

Do you want problems, man? We can arrange it.

Wake up, baby. Get the security.

It’s getting hot here.

I’ll finish my beer if I have time.

Yes, Andreyevich.

Why did you bring a shadow to my house?

A shadow? What are you talking about? Are you drunk?

Hold your tongue, you cheap punk.

Now you owe me 200,000 more because of your friend.

What friend? What are you talking about?

Anyway.

This one?

You’re dead!

They’ll kill him!

-Calm down. -What’s going on?

-We’re friends. -What do you mean?

I have nothing to do with it. What do you mean, 200,000?

Andreyevich, listen!

Get lost, you bastard.

Why are you listening to him?

Why don’t you tell him to get lost?

He is holding me.

Holding me tightly.

Where can I get some water? I’m thirsty.

I don’t know. Check the kitchen.

Is there much left, guys?

Enough. Take this.

Okay, put it down.

Come on, guys.

Careful. Come on.

Guys, next one.

You’re insulting me. It’s not my first day.

-Money likes to be counted. -You think I’m lying?

-Come on. Show me. -What do we have?

Twenty boxes of SPAM.

What’s this?

Forty kilos of beef.

Butter.

This is your share.

Do you need sugar?

We’ll get six sacks soon.

-I can sell you three. -Okay.

-Any canned goods? -Doesn’t matter.

We were fed watery soup,

and this bastard was selling our food at the market.

I decided to file a complaint to the police.

Not because I was a good guy

but because I wanted him to be punished.

Wait. I’m leaving.

-Okay. -Come on.

...ask Sasha.

It’s mine.

Get it.

Volodya, look.

Stop it. I said stop.

That’s enough.

Get out of here, everyone.

Why are you lying there?

Get up.

How do you feel, writer?

Well?

Well?

Do you recognize it?

Is it your doing?

Just say you didn’t write this and I’ll tear your head off.

I had to...

look through a thousand of notebooks to compare handwritings.

Well?

I didn’t hear your answer.

Is this your hand?

Yes.

Get up. I said up!

You bastard!

Don’t you realize I have everything under control?

The police chief brought me your complaint

with his personal greetings.

You’re mine, got it?

From head to filthy toes.

Got it?

-Yes. -What?

-Got it. -This was your last warning.

If you ever try anything like this

you’ll go straight to jail.

For eight to ten years.

And you accepted it?

What could I have done?

Right.

People are weak.

It’s okay, Volodya.

We’ll take our revenge.

Upon all of them.

You have to realize they’ll catch you sooner or later.

It’s not hard to catch me.

Try to catch him, too.

They’ll catch me and send to the funny farm or jail.

It doesn’t even matter.

How will you prevent his crimes then?

Those murders were just a start.

Why do you think so?

I told you that your suspect was just a weapon.

There is another one who guides him.

Guides him, helps him, enables him.

He has just discovered his power.

He’s just beginning to enjoy it.

He wants a bloodbath.

I can't believe he did it.

Oh God.

Wow. Why are we still awake?

Zhanna?

If she’s waiting up for me...

If there will be dinner, too,

and a glass of vodka...

I’ll have to marry her all over again.

Peek-a-boo!

Looks like they have had dinner without me.

And got married without me, too.

-Quiet. I hear someone. -What is it?

Good evening.

I’m Denis. Her husband.

Nice to meet you.

Anatoliy.

Somehow I knew it.

I knew you’d be called Anatoliy.

Couldn’t you have found someone younger?

Look at Tolya. He is completely bald.

And fat, too.

He might smother you.

He is... my...

director.

I see.

This changes everything. Right.

If your boss wants you... I understand.

They say cuckolds grow horns.

I lack something in my system.

Calcium, probably.

What are we going to do? Eh, guys?

Come on. Don’t whimper.

I didn’t mean it.

No, of course I want to shoot you both.

But I don’t want to go to jail.

Where are you going?

I should get going.

No. Put it down.

Put it down.

I’m the one who will go.

You are stationed here from now on.

I pass to you this banner.

Though it passes around too much.

Anyway. I won’t be here tomorrow.

The day after, either.

The day after that, if I come back and find even one hairpin of yours,

that’s when I’ll shoot you.

What?

I wouldn’t be joking about this.

You know me.

Leave the key next door.

Where am I supposed to go?

My darling, I don’t give a damn. You can go to Tolya here.

Or go back to the village, to your mom.

You bastard! Brazhnik, you’re a bastard.

You told me you’d be on duty tonight.

You set me up!

-And now you’re kicking me out! -Tolya!

I hate you!

Control your girlfriend.

-See, she’s having a fit. -You make me sick.

Have a nice life.

I hate you, too.

What did I do?

Get out of here!

Out!

Okay. What else do you know?

He drives a blue Logan.

I didn’t see the license plate.

I can only see what he sees.

A nine-stories high rise across from his.

This isn’t much.

The other one has a mother.

A dacha, too. Let me think.

She did call him by his name.

What was it?

Let me think. Just a minute.

It was some fancy name, like...

Ari-- Aristarkh? Am--

Shit. I don’t remember.

Try to recall something else. We need a lead.

Hello, Comrade Captain.

Boss.

You don’t look very well.

Can I crash at your place, Comrade Captain?

I have nowhere else to go.

Boss, it’s a communal apartment.

-I just need a room to... -Hush.

I’m sorry.

I can’t. I’m not living alone.

How many are there?

Just the two of us. Me and my girl.

You know her. She works with us.

Liusia, the redhead.

It would be awkward if she saw you.

The redhead? Good for you.

Looks like nobody wants me tonight.

Okay, Sanya. Bye.

I wish you every success.

Boss, you... I’m sorry. Shit happens.

Say hi to the redhead from me.

-Right. -Quiet.

Are you nuts?

At the quarry, right before the blast,

I asked him

if it was mushroom season. He looked back at me.

I had a camera in my hands, and I pressed the button.

I think.

It was in burst mode. If...

If the film is intact, we have his picture.

Great. Where is the camera now?

At my house.

Your apartment is sealed.

Is there no way to get inside?

The official way takes time. You’d need a reason, too.

Unofficially, then?

Unofficially would be another official misconduct.

Hi, Belenkaya. I come straight from the redhead.

Denis Ivanovich, is that you?

Exactly.

Don’t I look like me?

No, it’s just weird.

I don’t see anything weird.

A colleague comes to visit another colleague.

What’s wrong with that?

It’s just that it’s late.

In a word, baby...

I’m not a baby. I’m officer Belenkaya.

My little officer Belenkaya!

If you don’t let me in,

I’ll fall asleep here.

On this very rug.

I don’t have any place to go.

That’s it. Is that clear?

I don’t know, Denis Ivanovich.

All right.

May I?

Excuse me. Let me...

-That’s it. -Denis Ivanovich.

Wake me up at eight.

What are you doing?

Stop it. Come inside.

Thanks a lot.

You’re a true friend, baby.

Wake up!

Baby.

I’m Belenkaya.

I remember. Come in.

Listen, Belenkaya.

Why are you always so official?

Denis Ivanovich and all that.

It’s just...

Just what?

You see me as an old man?

No! It’s not that.

What is it, then?

I can’t help it, Denis Ivanovich.

Again.

Listen, Belenkaya.

You know what?

We need to drink a brotherhood shot.

I don’t have any booze at home.

Nothing at all?

Nothing at all.

That’s bad.

I’m sorry. Did I doze off?

Yes, you did.

What about you?

I’m fine. I brought you a futon.

Put it here near the window. Get comfortable.

I’ll get you a blanket and a pillow.

Sveta.

Yes?

Yes?

Thank you.

Yes. Here.

You toast fools with water.

Really?

Aren’t we fools?

At least I am. Okay.

Give me your hand. Here. Right.

Bottoms up.

Here. Don’t spill it.

That was good.

-Come on, drink. -I can’t anymore.

Now it’s time for a kiss.

Come here.

Come to me.

My baby Belenkaya.

If you only knew what a shitty day I've had.

And now?

Now I’m good.

Denis Iva--

Denis, you don’t actually want it.

It doesn’t mean anything.

Dasha, don’t think about it, okay?

Just don’t.

I stayed at that boarding school till graduation.

VOVA

It was worse than the juvi.

I thought I’d get out of there, get an apartment.

They used to give free apartments to orphans.

I’d leave that asshole and live like a normal person.

But then, just before graduation,

there was that nurse...

She was five years older than me.

The principal sent me once to pick up the laundry.

Put it here.

What are you doing?

It’s supposed to be sterile.

-Sorry. I didn’t mean to. -Come on, pick it up.

What are you waiting for? Let’s do it.

Okay, okay.

I’m sorry.

Put it here.

That’s it.

What are you looking at?

Me? Nowhere.

Liar.

The shy guy is staring.

I’m not staring.

You’re lying.

What do you mean?

Do you want me to go?

You don’t like me, do you?

Not even a little?

No, but you are...

I am. So?

Do you want me to kiss you?

For real. Do you?

Or not?

So? Did you like it?

Galina, I love you.

What?

What did you say?

Quiet.

Don’t do this. You’ll leave a mark.

Silly boy.

Galina, I love you. I love you a lot.

Let me go! Please don’t!

Don’t do this!

Good thing I decided to get the camera to the radio room.

What were you doing here?

You useless scum!

I didn’t hear your answer.

-Nothing. -Nothing?

That’s what you call it? Nothing.

I see.

You go to the dormitory, you idiot.

And you, Galina, please come to my office.

What did I tell you? Go!

Venedikt, are you up yet?

Yes, Mom.

I’m coming.

Hello, old man.

Good morning.

Hi. Why are you lying around here?

Lying around? Why around? I just lay here.

No. You lay in bed. You’re lying around on the floor.

How did Mom let you?

She never lets me do it.

There is no bed here, old man.

The coach...

The coach is too short.

I had to sleep on the futon.

But you’re right. I shouldn’t lounge on the floor.

Come on, give me a hand.

Thanks. Merci.

-What do you eat for breakfast? -Whatever Mom gives me.

-What does she give you? -What’s in the fridge.

What is in the fridge?

Okay. Let’s see.

I see.

How about an omelet with French toast?

I've never had it.

There is first time for everything.

Do we have bread?

We do.

I see.

Do we have eggs?

A baguette? Yeah.

-Milk? -Yes!

Great.

Yes! We did it. Give me five.

Now, when we have defeated the enemy frigate,

what do we do?

French toast?

Where do you see French toast?

It’s an enemy ship.

A pirates’ frigate is approaching your fortress.

It’s going to capture it. But it won’t be that simple.

The fortress pretends to open its gates. Open your mouth.

And it bites off the ship’s prow!

The ship is defeated. It goes down. Yes!

The fortress celebrates with the Victors’ Nectar.

How was it?

Mom is up! Hurrah!

-Morning. -Morning.

Who is having breakfast in his PJs?

Are you a naughty boy?

Klavdiya will be here soon.

Go get changed.

I don’t need Klavdiya. I’ll be with Uncle Oleg.

Klavdiya can hang out with you two. Right?

Come on, go.

Here.

My baby Belenkaya.

Denis, can I turn on the music?

Of course.

Breakfast?

Sure. One pirates’ frigate, please.

And the Victors’ Nectar.

Great.

Oleg, I’m going to drop by at the office

to talk to the experts about the handcuffs

and look up that address.

Then I’ll pick you up, and we’ll go to your place.

Okay.
