TV Channel UKRAYINA Presents

THE HEIRESS

Tomka's Guest house

I'll wait for you in the car.

Sonya, do you want to go right away?

EPISODE 7

Mum, the girl has no one else to count on.

I've promised her mother to find the money for the operation.

Is there is no one to take money from except this Korolenko?

He almost got you killed.

Don't you worry, I will be fine.

So are you coming with us?

You understand it yourself.

I have nothing to do at your house anymore.

What's here?

Since when you got interested in my life?

We were united by an expedition

related to the return of a rare breed of bear to its historical homeland.

All right, bye.

You are seeing me off as if I am never coming back.

- Bye, Tarasik. - Bye.

Tell your grandpa who the real princess is.

- And take care of her. - I promise.

Bye.

Mum, what's that?

You act like Violet Crawley from Downton Abbey.

Nobody has cancelled maternal blessing yet.

And in the end of the day,

Sonya owns this money, she can take it at any time.

It is me without dowry. I will have to work hard in my life.

Why are you standing there? Come, I'll make you tea.

I found out why the Colonel is under arrest.

An internal investigation.

From the bottom of the heart. Korolenko's gambit.

And tell Cherkasov...

I am paying him to work, not to chill.

He has to work his butt off to get me released

under a written pledge not to leave town. Got it?

Okay.

Otherwise, I am getting a new lawyer tomorrow.

- Tell him that. - All right.

And about the charges brought against me,

for the most part it's water and insinuation.

Well, I wouldn't say so.

I didn't ask for your opinion.

So they need to find counterarguments

for all this Korolenko's nonsense

and prove that I am... white and cuddly.

- I wrote that down. - And also...

Call that number. Tell them I gave it.

And the Colonel has to be released.

We need him free.

- Is that it? - Yes.

Don't tell Cherkasov about the phone call.

It's none of his business.

Do you need any help?

Sure.

Why didn't you go to the town?

After all that had happened I have nothing to do there.

What are you going to do now?

I hope to find a job with my degree.

I graduated from the culinary college with honours.

- No way? - Yes.

I am a wonderful cook and confectioner.

You haven't tried my cakes.

By the way, do you need a cook?

I think we don't.

As well as confectioner.

Well, you think about it. I'm ready for any job.

I have experience.

All right. I will ask Mum.

You look like you are being taken to an execution.

Well, not to an execution.

I just...

Don't like to ask.

Don't like changing my decisions.

Yeah, I understand you.

I will think how we can get that money.

35,000 euros?! Get it like that?

Give me time to think.

We don't have time to think!

That little girl also has no time!

Her mother doesn't have time at all! They have a hope.

And that hope is me.

Listen, I...

I promise you we will save that girl.

Do you hear me?

Yarik.

I'm really grateful to you that you want to help.

But let's just admit that besides your grandfather,

I have nowhere to get this money from.

So I have no choice.

Thank you. May I?

You may.

I'm glad you changed your mind.

Take a seat.

Thank you.

Yuriy Sergeyevich, remember you told me

that I can claim the inheritance?

Ha, ha, ha!

So grandfather's genes defeated father's genes without a silver coin.

Yes, I don't deny my words.

I need 35,000 euros.

I underestimated you.

Yuriy Sergeyevich, please just give me the money

and I'll disappear from your life forever, I promise.

No, no, girl, that doesn't suit me. I want to give you much more.

- What are you talking about? - I am old and...

to keep all this running, I need fresh blood.

I need you, Sofia.

But why me?

You have Yarik, Aleksandra.

Well, because I started it all with your grandfather.

You have the same rights as my grandson.

Perhaps...

But I don't need any of it.

Except for 35,000 euros.

All right, I'll give it to you

but only after you become my equal partner.

I don't know anything about this.

Yes, but you are a fast learner.

I'd noticed this a long time ago.

You are dependable,

you have a good judgement, determination.

All that, unfortunately, I could not bring up in my grandson.

I am not an altruist, Sofia.

I want to leave the business in good hands.

And if I say no?

It's your right.

But first, think about it.

I will.

But right now I really need 35,000 euros.

I need some time to get everything ready.

Come over tomorrow around noon.

Thank you.

Hello. It's me.

I need to see you. Today.

I said today!

And yet it's all very strange.

What exactly?

The file of Roman Izyaslavsky car accident case disappeared.

If everything was clear in that case, why it needs to be hidden?

We were told that after moving the archive

the documents could've ended up in a different folder.

But they weren't there.

So you think we will never find out

what really happened that night?

I don't know. We will keep looking.

But if the documents were lost on purpose, I have a plan B.

Are you going to tell me?

- Isn't it too early? - I need to calm my nerves.

You want some?

No, I need to think straight today.

Why is it so?

Do you think Korolenko sent his bouncers just to you?

Not really.

Did you also get affected?

Of course.

I got suspended, an official investigation is ongoing.

It's a matter of luck if they are going to find anything on me.

Yeah. What an asshole.

What are we going to do with him?

We are going to play by his rules.

It's time for everybody to find out that our king is naked.

Do you want to start off with trump card?

Well, we have no other choice.

If the information is out

about Korolenko's real estate assets being sealed,

and that he is practically gone bankrupt,

he will no longer be interested in us.

Listen... this calls for a toast.

Yes, but don't get too relaxed.

Aleksandra Rudenko.

- Yeah. - Well, your Sasha.

All right, all right, not your Sasha.

She is on to something.

However, I can't figure out what does she want.

Whose side she is on.

Meaning?

She made an official request to see Roma Izyaslavsky's case file.

He was convicted in that case.

- All right. - You know what's interesting?

Not only Roma Izyaslavsky appears in this case,

but his bosom friend as well, Vova Korolenko.

Hello, Dad. I knew I would find you here.

What are you working on?

What about you?

Work related or just stopped by?

I wanted to talk to you.

- About what? - About Sofia, Korolenko, your role.

I don't know what you mean.

Come on, Dad, you know exactly what I mean.

I know Yuriy Sergeyevich is using Sofia and you are helping him.

I do my job.

Preparing documents for Sofia Korolenko

to make her a hostage?

Sasha, don't dramatize.

I work for Korolenko. I don't have much of a choice.

Dad, there is always a choice.

You just have to decide who is more important to you.

You've always been a person of obligation and deed yourself.

Let's say I've changed my mind

and now obligation for me is the restoration of justice.

What do you suggest?

Daddy, we both know that Korolenko trusts you.

I'm sure that only you can protect Sofia.

And if I say no?

Dad.

Of course you can say no.

But how you are going to live with that?

You understand that if Korolenko carries out his scam, then...

He will destroy Sofia.

And if I get in Korolenko's way, he'll destroy me.

Here, add it to the pile.

Sonechka, have you thought about...

that Korolenko might frame you with those documents?

He is being too nice.

Mum, please don't start.

I am not stupid, I'll figure it out.

Moreover, you know that I have no choice.

Oh, Sonya, you always have a choice.

But once you put your head in the loop,

you have to figure your way out of it.

Maybe I won't need to.

Especially given that I won't have to wait much longer.

- Not much... - Good day!

- Hello! - Am I interrupting?

No.

What are you doing here, Yarik?

We need to talk.

All right, I got to go.

You ionize yourselves.

My mother's heart feels that

Olya and Taras will prepare something else but dinner over there.

Mum.

Here. 35,000.

Don't need to recount it.

- Where did you get it, Yarik? - It doesn't matter.

What matters is it's here, and we should give it ASAP.

You are right. Let's get going.

Do you know the address?

Yes, Katia messaged it to me.

A taxi?

I promised you I'd think of something.

Besides, taxi is not such a bad transport.

Get in.

Yarik, I can't believe it. Did you sell your car?

Thank you, I honestly didn't expect that.

That means I won't have to meet up with your grandpa.

Come on, I didn't do anything special.

Nothing special?

You saved a little girl's life.

I'm sure she and her mum will be very grateful to you.

I didn't do it just for them.

Yarik...

You have no idea what you've just done for me.

Thank you so much.

It is raining, the ceiling with wet eyes looks at the sky.

And next to everyone, a wet puppy is warming up.

Mum, who's that?

I will take a look.

- Hello. - You came after all.

Yes, we did. May we come in?

Of course. Come in.

This is for the surgery.

Dear Lord...

It is...

I...

Don't know what to say.

Thank you. I will pray for you all my life.

Do you want to come in for some tea?

- No, no. - No, thank you.

Honey, get ready.

You'll have to stay at neighbours' for a few hours.

Mum has an important errand to run.

- Hi. - Hi, princess. How are you?

I am good.

Katia, why the neighbour?

We can watch her. Right, Yarik?

Yes, we can.

I have a better idea.

Shall we go out somewhere?

To a cafe or the movies.

Can I go to swing?

Katia.

Seriously, could we go to an amusement park?

- The doctor did not forbid it? - No.

I just don't know...

Everything is fine. Why not?

Right, princess? Do you want to go?

- Yes. - Then we have a decision.

Thank you.

Go get dressed.

How is it, Boris?

It's all set. The documents are ready.

Do you want to read over the agreement?

You read over it, right?

That would be enough. I trust you.

Once Sofia signs the documents tomorrow,

I'm flying to Switzerland right away.

Where are the documents on Izyaslavsky?

Right here in this folder.

Good.

So there shouldn't be any surprises in Switzerland.

I am sure we will get the first transaction soon.

It will allow us to solve the current problems.

Yeah, but it won't solve the problem in general.

No, it won't.

It will allow us to stay afloat for a while.

But once we get all the deposit,

then a completely different story will start.

Svet. Maybe you are going to try after all?

No, I'm afraid. If you would come with me...

Baby, it's for kids, adults are not allowed there.

I'm afraid to go on my own.

- So what are we going to do? - I don't know.

So? Who is first to run to the slide?

Why are you still standing here?

- She is scared. - No way? Are you afraid?

Why?

I am afraid I might fall down.

Aha, I see.

Do you want me to give you a piece of my courage?

How so?

Well, I'm big and strong and I'm not afraid of anything.

Especially some slide.

Here is my courage.

Give me your hands. Give them.

Here, hold it.

And now put your hands close to your heart.

You feel it?

You are not afraid anymore?

Will you go?

Yes, just wait for me here.

All right, as you say. Come.

Okay, careful.

Are you ready? Let's go.

Super!

I've been trying to persuade her for half an hour. Good job, Yarik!

- Did you think of it yourself? - No.

My dad taught me while he was still living with us.

Hey!

Are you having fun?

Well, how are you doing?

Great!

It's great to be a kid after all.

Whatever happens brings you joy.

Well, yes. You are good with kids.

Yeah? Then I'll get a job in a kindergarten.

Why not? I think it's a good job.

Everyone is having fun, they say what they think.

"I'm hungry." "I want to pee."

"I want a car." "I love you."

But no.

They don't say I love you.

Instead, they ask, "Do you want an ice-cream?"

Do you want a doughnut?

I do.

All right. I'll take this one.

Svet!

- Give her a doughnut. - Here it is.

Tasty.

Are you done?

When I said I'll come to help you,

I didn't expect to get a bucket of potatoes to peel off.

What did you want to do?

I don't know.

Listen, Tarik,

did you enrol in the culinary college voluntarily?

Or your parents made you?

Of course voluntarily.

Ever since I was little,

I dreamed of opening up my own restaurant.

Since you were little? Come on, you are lying.

I am not.

- What's your dream? - Mine?

I want a rich man.

One who'd treat me like a queen.

So I would never have to save up the money.

That's it?

What else do you need to be happy?

I don't know.

In addition to the restaurant, I also need a loved one.

And three kids.

If you continue working here,

you might need a new dream, Tarik.

Well...

As your mum says…

Every man is the architect...

of his own fortune.

What do you mean?

You didn't get it?

No.

Mum!

Did she behave?

You have a wonderful daughter.

I haven't had so much fun in a long time.

Me too.

Thank you.

I've paid for the surgery already.

We are going to the hospital tomorrow.

Surgery is in two days.

I am so grateful, Sonechka. For everything.

You should thank Yaroslav, not me.

Come on. It's nothing.

Thank you, Yaroslav and you, Sonya.

I will pray for you.

May both of you be happy and healthy.

May your kids be happy as well.

Let's go. Thank you.

- Bye. - Bye.

- Good bye. - Bye.

May our kids be happy?

- This is for you. - Thank you.

- And this is for you. - Thank you.

It's magical.

Magical? How?

If you look at the sky through it, you can see an angel.

Thank you.

Well...

Let's go take a look at angels?

I can't see it.

Perhaps, because it's cloudy.

Quite possible.

How are you holding up, pedestrian?

Welcome to the world of people

who wait for the traffic light to change and queue for metro tickets.

I will be your guide.

Yes. Refreshing sensation.

By the way, I have never been on the metro.

But always wanted to.

I take the metro, write poems about...

both banks of the Dnieper river.

I'm a snowflake in a wind, I'll die someday.

Silently in a blue boat sailing the Dnieper.

So take me, river, to the sky, to the sea, to the clouds.

And to the star I haven't met yet.

Well, you are becoming a philosopher.

And also, you keep surprising me.

Really.

Oh, excuse me, I'll take this.

- Hello, Sofia, it's Igor. - Yes, hello.

Believe me, it's really important. We need to talk.

As soon as possible.

You remember where we had our last visiting lesson

on the city's history?

Let's meet there.

And by the way, no one needs to know about our meeting.

All right. We will be there soon.

Still can't see?

It must be clouds.

So, where are we heading to?

It was Igor.

He and Sasha want to meet.

They want to tell something important.

- Metro? - Metro.

Let's speed up. I froze a little.

All right.

Hey, not so fast!

Aren't you tired of playing spy games?

I would prefer to meet up in the Bahamas.

You will get the Bahamas and cacao with tea, Serezha.

Hello, you old devil.

Hello to you too.

I've been looking for you for so long.

And why do you need me?

Serezha...

You were the lead agent on Izyaslavsky case, right?

- Remember it? - Yeah, I do.

The fuss back then.

Korolenko flashed in it as well.

I led it, so what?

I need to know the truth.

I never used our old friendship, you know.

But now I'm asking. Tell me what really happened.

Decided to find out the truth?

I did.

The statute of limitations has already expired.

On the other hand...

Why would I talk for free?

I've got older, but...

I haven't gone crazy.

If you are not crazy,

then the money for a happy old age wouldn't hurt.

Let's go and talk the money.

Sofia, you shouldn't refuse the inheritance.

It's legally yours.

I know.

But once I imagine seeing Korolenko every day...

I get goose bumps.

Pardon me, but I'm not going to sign anything.

I don't want to be the heiress.

Besides, we already gave the money for Sveta's surgery, and the rest...

You don't know the whole story, Sofia.

The deposit in a Swiss bank has been held for over a hundred years.

It's a huge amount of money left by your ancestors,

taken out of the country before the Revolution.

Only you as a direct descendant of Izyaslavsky can take it.

That's why Korolenko was looking for you

and kept an eye on you.

He wasn't planning on making you his business partner,

and giving you the inheritance too.

He needed you to get the wealth of your ancestors to save his empire.

Korolenko has nothing to do with Izyaslavsky's contribution.

No offence, Yarik.

You should get the money. As the last of the kind.

The kind...

I couldn't stand up for my father

during the ill-fated press conference.

I would like to get this straight,

not to fight with Korolenko.

We have suspicions that Korolenko is directly involved

with the tragic fate of your father, Sofia.

We promise you to find out everything in the nearest future.

Yuriy Sergeyevich...

has something to do with the death of my dad?

Listen, Sofia, Korolenko is a very cruel man.

Nothing will stop him from reaching his goals.

No one knows what will happen to you

once he doesn't need you anymore.

I don't want to believe that.

I probably shouldn't say that, but it sounds a lot like my grandpa.

And I think you should get your family money.

This will be a right thing.

I'm sure your dad and grandpa would have wanted that.

We can't outplay the Korolenko almighty!

It's like fighting a shadow.

We have a plan, Sofia.

Please, do everything my dad will tell you to do tomorrow.

Yuriy Sergeyevich,

Sofia is ready to sign all the documents tomorrow.

How did we do that?

Sasha. She could persuade anybody.

Great.

Make sure right after the signing,

a flight to Zurich is ready.

Thank you.

I'll sleep on the floor, don't worry.

I get the house is full of ghosts for you,

but I'd be calmer if I stayed here with you.

What are you thinking about?

About life.

About Dad.

About us.

You said it yourself, he used to spend time here.

Yes, I used to see him in this house.

I'm so sorry I don't remember him.

You know, even if…

Everything bad what's been said about him was true,

I would still keep loving and missing him.

You are an amazing woman.

Did anyone ever tell you that?

Yeah?

What's so amazing about me?

Well, you are... strong and fragile at the same time.

Whimsical and wise.

I am whimsical?!

It seemed to me like that when I saw you.

I also didn't like you straight away. So arrogant, so bourgeois.

Who told you I didn't like you?

I remember our first meeting very well.

Do you like Sonechka, Yarik?

Very much.

- Dad. - Yes.

Can I marry her when I grow up?

Of course you can.

But only if Sonechka wants to marry you.

She will. You will see.

I will do everything for her to want that.

Is it true?

Why would I lie?

I think I knew back then that you…

That you are special.

What about now?

And now...

Now I'm sure of it.

Is Sofia here?

Yes. Together with Yarik.

I don't like him being glued to her.

Good day. Am I late?

Not, you are right on time. Come in.

Let's get over with the formalities.

That's it.

Korolenko is in our pocket now.

Where did you get the file?

It doesn't matter.

We can destroy him now.

Our prominent businessman will go down not only for economic crimes

but also for forgery.

It's not that easy to get away from a crime.

No, Adriusha.

What's up?

The money.

Aaa... and how much do you want?

Vladik, give me a sheet of paper.

- Aren't you greedy? - Not at all.

But if you want to bargain, I'm sure Korolenko...

would pay me three times more for the file.

He has no money, you've said it yourself.

Do you want to check?

All right.

You will get your money.

In three hours, we meet wherever you say.

Now you are talking.

Let's meet next to the concrete road.

When you were telling me about your plan,

everything didn't seem so scary.

No worries. The plan is audacious, but good.

Sofia, we agreed to this interview on a condition

that you are going to talk about the mysteries of your kin.

Use all the information Igor and I gave you.

Use the Rurikovich book for the reasoning.

Listen to the questions about your father attentively

and don't agree with their conclusions.

But I don't have much information about my dad.

Believe me, this show is the early swallow.

We are raising car accident topic in order

to get as much material as we can.

That's why all the fuss. You understand?

Heading to the airport?

All right.

No, Sofia doesn't know anything.

You've said it yourself there are things she doesn't need to know.

Got it.

Mister Korolenko, excuse me for keeping you waiting.

No worries.

When can you transfer the first transaction?

I'm afraid it is impossible.

Why is it so?

The documents are prepared in a way

that only Miss Sofia Izyaslavskaya

can claim her family deposit from the bank.

Sofia is my partner.

She delegated her authority to me.

I am really sorry

but the cooperation agreement says otherwise.

Here. You can see it for yourself.

So nothing can be done?

Miss Tymchuk is the only legal heiress.

You can get the right to manage her capital

just in two cases, Mister Korolenko.

The incapacity of the manager of the deposit

or the transfer of property rights from the deceased person.

But we, thank God,

aren't considering the latter option, aren't we?

Yes, thank you.

I'll get someone to walk you out, Mister Korolenko.

It's me.

Sofia is no longer needed.

You know what to do.

Yes, and please get it done before I come back.

Thank you.

Look at you, you came in earlier.

Looks like I have an important folder.

Good day to you.

It's you?

Where is Ilyin?

Or he didn't manage to get the money on time?

No worries, uncle. I have the money.

Andrey Grigoryevich got invited to the television.

You know it yourself he can't miss the opportunity.

PR is part of his carrier.

Did you bring the file?

I did, dear, but I would like to see the money first.

Oh, yes, of course, pardon. Here is your honorarium.

Great.

You tell Ilyin...

It's a pleasure doing business with him.

- Here it is. - Well you can tell him yourself.

Once you see him in person. It will definitely happen.

As for me, I am very glad that you are in a good mood...

at the last minutes of your life.

Thus, my friends and I are doing everything possible

to find out what exactly happened on that fateful night.

And why my dad, who did not even have a driving license,

all of a sudden got behind the wheel.

From my side I promise that the reporters of our program

will take an active part in this investigation.

I've just been informed that a man

who knows the answers to all your questions showed up in our studio.

Who is he? I didn't invite anyone.

In this case, his appearance will be a surprise for all of us.

Let's welcome the mysterious guest to our studio.

- Good day.- Good day.

I am Vladimir Korolenko.

Friend of your deceased father.

I was driving...

the car which ran over a man

on that terrible day.

You mean that...

Roman Izyaslavsky who was accused of the crime

and died in jail...

was innocent?

Wow.

I did not expect to find rock concert at Korolenko's.

Dad went away for a few days. Great reason to celebrate.

You know, I was expecting you.

- Where were you? - I was selling my painting.

Can you imagine, some Swedish guy paid me 200 bucks for it.

- How much? - 200 bucks!

We can live on that money for two months.

- Amazing. - I can take the girls to the seaside.

We must celebrate!

Vov.

Vov, you've already celebrated it.

Given the quantity of bottles and lack of proper food,

you had a drummer for snacks.

Romka...

Let's go! Opa!

We'll get snacks, have a drink and fool around with girls.

You are high.

You have girls in your house.

Girls, girls...

No.

Those have already gone bad.

Vov, stop!

Mate, mate!

I'm not going anywhere with you. I need to go home.

I haven't seen Sonya in three days. You shouldn't go anywhere either.

You know, Romka, you are such a bore.

Where there are three, there are also four.

Don't be a party pooper.

My friend is a world famous artist.

Are you done?

I... respect you.

If I had only known how the night would end up,

I would have hand-cuffed myself to a radiator.

But you still went out?

Yes.

And how did Roman end up driving the car?

Roma wasn't behind the wheel.

It's just when he realized that I can't be stopped,

he jumped into the car at the last minute.

I don't know what he expected.

Vov, slow down.

Watch out!

Vova, please pull over!

Vova!

Pull over!

Look at the road, Vov!

Stop!

You admit that you were behind the wheel during the accident?

Yes.

Why Roman Izyaslavsky ended up in court?

Did he take the blame?

No.
