Original subtitles

No! Sorry.

Zin, forgive me. Zin.

This is a long distance call.

- It's you, Kirsan! - Hello! Yes thank you.

Yes?

Kirsan, this is Dmitry Goncharov.

Sorry it’s early, I just got a call from the laboratory...

- Dmitry Vladimirovich, hello! - Kirsan, what’s wrong, huh?

- I worked all night! I want to sleep! - Sash!

- Well, Kir, well! - Yes?

This means that Badmaeva’s HIV was confirmed.

Of the new samples you sent, three positive reactions.

Tell management it's an emergency!

And take tests from relatives of the infected.

I will notify the Ministry of Health.

That's it, see you in touch.

Thank you!

Will there be anything besides coffee? I'm really really late.

And you ask me why?

Because I'm a woman and I have to cook for you?

All! All clear.

Pf-f-f... How this infuriates me!

Anything specific or everything?

Specifically you!

You seem to be such an intellectual, a modern scientist,

and inside is a Neanderthal. Domostroy and that's all.

Have you confused me with anyone?

No, you are all the same!

You want us to stand at the stove and give birth to your children.

Look, I'm not looking that far ahead.

Me in general!

You have built a system in which we must cook for you,

give birth to children and serve you.

I don't want to serve or cook.

Well, I still won’t be able to give birth to children.

But I promise scrambled eggs on Thursdays.

Have a good day!

Central television was silent.

What is going on in the city of Yerevan?

And why…

Today we came to honor the memory of our people,

who died from genocide.

The same thing continues today.

What to do now? What to do?

To tell the truth! Publicity!

Mitka has arrived!

Mitya, why are you so skinny?

She doesn't feed you at all?

I sucked all the juices, mom! Can you imagine?

Hello!

Hello!

Galechka, cover it for him! Have breakfast with us!

- Mom! - Without "mothers"!

Great! Did you see what's going on?

The Azerbaijani population of the village actually blocked the highway.

One person was killed...

In Kalmykia, there are four cases of HIV in a children's hospital.

The incident sparked a mass rally in Yerevan

numbering about two hundred thousand people.

Come on, let's go!

Is this accurate? Can't there be a mistake?

- Sorry. - There may be more infected people.

Do you have a cigarette?

Kirsan, doctor of this hospital,

he found recurrent symptoms in many patients.

With a general increase in purulent-septic infections in the last two months.

Does anyone else know?

Only my employees.

Don't tell anyone or do anything.

- Dad, I have to... - Give me two hours!

I will inform Chazov, he will bring it to the Central Committee.

This is a matter of national importance.

This is no longer some kind of homosexual or prostitute, these are children.

In the center of the country, this is a disaster!

Sit by the phone, I will dial!

I've told! I'll figure it out myself.

Yes, but you didn't do anything.

And you decided to go through me.

Waited for duty

I chose a time when I was not there and sent the blood to Moscow!

Yes! But now it doesn’t matter, we have HIV.

Can't be.

I can't wrap my head around it.

I don't understand what you're trying to achieve

if this is how you make a career.

I speak kindly now.

You'll break your neck sooner.

I think Batu Tserenov died from this.

Aisa Badmaeva has the same picture. And in several other patients.

I sent their analyzes to Moscow.

HIV.

Where?

I don't know.

Kirsan Aldarovich, I heard everything.

What happened with me?

A... Jesus...

Why don't you speak?

Listen, let's go. Let's go, not here.

They die from this, right?

Is there a cure for this?

You see, the fact is that this disease,

it's new.

We... We just know very little about her yet.

Can you just answer me? Is there a cure or not?

He is not here yet. But…

It is now in development, and the best scientists of the Soviet Union are now

are developing it. I'm sure,

you hear, I'm sure they'll find him.

Mom's heart is sick. Don't tell her yet, okay?

How could this happen?

I don't know.

I don't know yet.

Dear comrades!

I am writing to you in connection with the events in Nagorno-Karabakh

and around it.

The question of the transition of this autonomous region has been raised...

How many cases are there now?

So far four have been identified.

What do you mean bye?

We've just started checking.

Results can only be obtained from Moscow.

How could this even happen?

For now, I can not say it.

Bye bye…

Who knows?

It happened at your clinic! Right under your nose!

You answer!

- Vladimir Andreevich, I have... - Fuck you, Borya!

After!

Shame on the whole country!

They'll ask me!

So what do I say?

What are the options though? How is it transmitted?

- Sexually or... - What are you talking about?

These are kids!

Or through blood. Through injection.

Your mother!

That is, it turns out...

No! Vladimir Andreevich,

I responsibly declare:

We comply with all sanitary standards!

Uh-huh, then where did he come from?

What if we exclude negligence?

Was it blown by the wind?

Or sabotage?

Marat, you have been entrusted with the best hospital in the republic.

Both doctors and equipment.

How could this happen?

I don't know.

This is a judicial matter! You will be in prison for a long time, Marat!

If you don't tell me who is guilty!

Specifically with the first and last name!

I will do everything that depends on me.

No!

No, Marat!

You will do anything

what do you need!

From now on you live in the hospital.

You're on the phone 24 hours a day.

And no leakage.

If rumors leak into town,

you will be to blame.

You understood me?

Got it, Vladimir Andreevich.

- Yes, I’m listening! - Hello!

- Can I have Vladimir Ivanovich? - He is absent.

But he promised to call.

- Tell me, when will it be? - He did not say.

I'll tell you when he returns.

- OK, thank you! - Goodbye.

Excuse me, it's our turn to donate blood, right?

- Yes. - Thank you!

Sorry!

I'm sorry!

Hello!

I went to the institute and they said you were here.

Hello!

Ah... Yes, we came as a group.

Here's my Ksyukha, meet me.

- Very nice! - Very nice.

We have a colloquium on Marxism-Leninism and...

And here they give you time off for blood.

Yes, we decided that they drink blood both here and there, and it’s better here, for people.

Thank you, thank you.

How are you?

Ah... Yes, I’m great!

Che, I don’t have blood, but mercury!

- Hello! - Hello!

Ir! Hey, where are you? I need syringes!

Vera Sergeevna, we’re boiling, we don’t have time!

Carefully.

Are you passing?

I will refrain.

Why are you afraid of syringes?

And he also has a day off, right?

Okay, I get it. I will go.

- Are you sure you're okay? - Full.

Fine.

- Igor! - Are you okay?

I'm fine... I'm fine.

Just…

Listen…

- Well, it was just a hangover. - Yes!

I'll rest at home.

You won't go anywhere in this state.

Dim, will you take me?

Yes with pleasure.

Let's.

Thank you!

The guys and I are going to Taganka today. So see you tomorrow.

Next!

- Take the bag, eh. - Certainly!

Thank you!

Wait, I'll sit down.

- Sorry. - What's happened?

Is it still bad?

Bitch, motor. This happens to me. It's okay, it'll pass now.

What are you doing with such an engine - and for donation?

But what an act, right?

Maybe I should see a doctor after all?

And who are you?

Okay, it will pass now. You just need to get some sleep.

Take the bag. Just be careful: Saint Nikon is there!

He didn’t break it in Armenia, there wasn’t enough of it here now.

Wow, have you already been there?

So how? Did you bring a sensation?

Not.

There wasn't enough film.

Yes? Why are you so confused? We must get ready!

Do you still drink with such a heart?

Come on, we only live once.

Listen.

Hello!

Take Corvalol, your face is gray.

- Collect your shift in five minutes. - Fine.

Tell your parents and get some tests done.

- Who am I? - Who?

Why me?

And tell them not to talk. Intimidate if necessary.

For what?

There are over a hundred children in the hospital.

And here is HIV infection.

So wait, so let's contact through the newspapers.

Let's explain everything to them.

Are you naive or stupid?

If we are the first to say, we will be guilty!

Marat Temenovich, maybe you...

We will always be to blame for them!

If not us, then who? Are they, or what?

Come on in! Come on in!

I was six years old.

We were woken up in the middle of the night and driven to the station by machine gunners and dogs.

They loaded me into a carriage and brought me to the Krasnoyarsk Territory.

And there they threw him out into the snow in December. All the people.

We couldn't bury the dead because of the frozen ground.

Until spring, my grandfather and mother lay in the barn, and I walked past them to the woodshed!

What were we guilty of?

Traitor people, Kirsan, that's what they called us!

And we will always be to blame for them!

I understood you.

Attention!

You know what happened.

We are expecting a check in the coming days.

From the sanitary and epidemiological station and the ministry.

Possibly from Moscow.

I demand…

strictly adhere to all regulations.

I know you did it anyway, but now

Our every move will be checked.

And there is no room for error.

Infected children...

needs to be transferred to a separate room.

And most importantly, we must not allow ourselves to panic.

You can't let people find out.

I need Anna Badmaeva.

Can we talk about Aisa?

We need to ask

a few questions for you and your husband.

What's wrong with Aisa? Everything is fine?

We found the immunodeficiency virus in Aisa's blood.

HIV.

HIV...

All civilization, all this

the fraternal friendship of peoples - everything disappeared as soon as control was weakened.

They started a stone war there.

Stones are being thrown at cars.

Indiscriminately - everyone! Women, children...

Some have a fractured skull, some are in a coma.

Fuck knows what!

We lived together and drank wine.

And now neighbors are being kicked out of their houses, houses are being burned.

What about the police?

Yes... They imprisoned about five people.

And the next day a crowd surrounded the department,

the cops were disarmed. And the cops are now standing on the sidelines

Yes, they look quietly.

What about the army?

So what, shoot at people?

This is the Caucasus, Dim!

They will answer.

Army…

evacuate whoever they can.

And thank them very much for this.

Only... Only this fire cannot be put out.

We are not ready for trouble.

They built developed socialism...

the solar circle, the sky around and so on.

The earth is humming under your feet!

Now it will crack! It will blow everything away.

Well, you didn’t just invite me for a drink, did you?

Alena told you?

No, not Alena.

I'm a journalist, Dim.

Good.

Well,

At least there was once.

So,

It’s not the questions or the answers that are important—it’s how a person is silent and about what is important.

And today, well, I tried to approach her.

I’m thinking, should I punch you in the face now or when we finish drinking?

- Come on! - Well, if I wanted to, I would give it.

Without warning.

You're not a piss, she likes you.

She's interested in you. You are, well, so...

broken.

No, that's not the point here.

I'm with her

I call Dr. Pilyulkin. Well, kind of...

There is a doctor, but there are no patients.

And here she is...

She looked at me as if she wanted to object.

Like, I'm wrong.

No... I was silent, didn’t say anything.

Well, then you jerked from this syringe.

Everything has become distorted.

Well, I think...

What's going on, Dim?

You have misunderstood it. From fatigue.

Shock, flight, donated blood.

- Ah... - Let's finish it off - let's go home,

It's dark already.

Well, in the dark the fun begins.

I'm going to take a leak.

Take care of your camera!

Thank you!

Squat?

What's your name?

Why do you need it?

I'm Sasha.

I'm Dmitry.

Smoke, well...

We can’t leave you for a second!

Oh, you're not alone. I'm sorry.

This…

Listen!

You brought me here on purpose, right?

Well, not without it.

You understand…

Hotels are for business travelers only.

You can’t invite a friend home, there are neighbors there!

They crawl out as soon as it gets dark.

Like vampires.

Here.

On Trubnaya.

In the Hermitage.

Near the Bolshoi Theater, in the Lenin Museum in the toilets.

Burry, I suppose, in the Mausoleum

spinning like a spinning top.

Can you imagine, they get an A, but they still come.

Nature. You can't argue against her.

Tell me, are you sure you don't want to tell me anything?

I think they would also be interested in listening.

Get out!

Get out! See you in the car.

Let's run! Faster!

Grab him!

Let's!

Get the bastard!

There are two more!

Do not do it, Please!

Eh, good, good! Press!

Press! That's it, press, what are you doing?

Uh, uh, what are you doing?

Stop, bitches!

Let's! Let's! Let's!

- Come on, come on, let's go! - Don't talk hand in hand!

Do you remember them, the ones that attacked?

We need to inform the police.

No, no, no.

Yeah! I'll go to the cops to get my sentence!

They are repairmen, Dim.

What are they repairing?

Us.

Dim! The cops know about them.

Well, they don’t interfere, and sometimes they even help.

Go to the emergency room and say you slipped.

I'll tell you.

"Mercy of the side."

"Bye".

It's late now, of course, but I,

In principle, I know a place where we can get five drops.

Yes, for sleep.

- M? Go? - I need to call.

- Hello! - Mom, hello!

- Hello, Mitya! - Is dad at home?

No, he hasn't arrived yet.

He just promised to call, but the day is already over.

Okay, I understand everything. Bye.

Don't quote me.

By itself.

There are cases of infection.

Well, okay. Among foreigners?

Cases of infection of Soviet citizens.

Of these?

Of these too.

How much? Go ahead and kill me.

We do not know. Our detection mechanisms have not been established.

We have three testing machines throughout Moscow,

We simply cannot cope with a mass outbreak.

Holy shit!

Well, approximately how much?

Today I think

Maybe…

about a hundred.

You're knocking, huh?

Igor, is that you?

Here you go…

Why do you shy away at night? Come in.

Rest only in our dreams.

Good morning!

Kind!

Paradise!

Do you think we will have time to insert it into tomorrow?

What about coordination?

Just wait with these approvals. Are we small ourselves, or what?

Here, take a look.

Wait, who are you referring to?

“...a source in medical circles”?

We don’t work like that, this is not journalism!

- Well, wait. - What about journalism?

Don't you?

Help for peaceful Afghan farmers?

But now it's gossip!

Are we publishing gossip now?

- Wait, Raya! - Yes! Yes, we print

if it helps to draw public attention to the danger,

which is criminally ignored!

- Enough for you! They ignore... - Good morning everyone!

- Hello! - Good good.

Kind! How the hell is it good?

Authoritative source.

And I trust him!

Hello, Gilana.

Gilyan, you need to donate blood.

You and your husband.

For what?

To know exactly what Batu died from.

- From inflammation. - Yes, that's right.

From inflammation. The fact is that…

inflammation, it could be a consequence...

another disease.

Viral.

And if this is so, then...

What kind of virus is this?

This is HIV.

We…

Several cases have been identified at the hospital.

Very similar to

clinical picture,

which Batu had.

And this...

HIV in the AIDS stage.

- He was four months old! - Yes Yes!

I understand how that sounds.

Perhaps this is not true. And maybe I'm wrong.

But to know for sure, we need you to get tested.

I read that it is transmitted by blood.

And from whom could he get infected? From U.S?

I do not know this. We…

just for you...Where is Ivan?

I don’t know, he’s been gone for two days.

Yes, Gilyan, you see, we have not yet found out what the source was.

But I'm doing it.

And I will find out.

I knew.

I felt it. I feel everything.

There was a lama in our family.

I saw Batu when he was born.

Too fragile

clean,

I won't save it.

Moscow speaks!

Moscow time is eight o'clock.

Thank you.

- Can I talk to Kirsan? - He is absent.

Please tell him to call me.

He won't be able to call you back.

Why can't he?

Kirsan Aldarovich violated job descriptions,

he had no right to contact you without management approval.

Marat Temenovich, chief physician, said that the question

under the control of the regional party committee. That's all I can say.

Hello, son!

So…

This means that the USSR has achieved unprecedented success,

uniting peoples into a single circulatory system,

a single organism - and carried out...

But…

strength hides weakness,

and the general organism will fall from one virus,

spreading it throughout the circulatory system

our country of three hundred million!

But it's true.

Are you still defending this bastard?!

What do you have here, a scientific institution or a passageway?

One of your employees

gives information to greedy journalists!

It's me, dad.

You?

Are you an asshole? For what?

We may be on the verge of an epidemic.

I’ve been calling the Ministry of Health for 24 hours,

I'm calling you,

I send notes - no response,

although you have to shout at every corner.

- I asked you for help. - Yes…

I thought we were past your youthful maximalism, no,

can't win.

But like this, like this, you can’t solve anything!

I've already decided. Are you here. I couldn't reach you!

They can't fucking deny it!

- Mitya! - M?

You cannot speak to the authorities in the language of ultimatums.

You understand that they will now deny everything.

Because the main thing for them is to show that they are the power here!

They control everything, including information!

What am I going to say to Chazov tomorrow?

They won't be able to ignore it.

Who cares?

That they were so happy to see me, as if...

Have you been waiting your whole life?

Huh?

I told them...

that we will have a child.

Huh?

Well, what are you really...

This is true?

Does not believe.

And what?

I really want to, right?

Sorry.

Dim! We stood in line for an hour to leave?

If you want, go ahead, I can’t.

Are you pouting because of Karakhan?

- No, I'm not because of him. - Well, don't be jealous.

Well, because of him too, but less.

M...

Is the agreement about not lying still valid?

I have a disagreement with my father on one issue.

He hinted to me that if I slow down, everything will be okay.

Yes. Girls love cautious opportunists.

Do you want to be like your father?

Listen, to hell, I'm tired of it. Let's not talk about this.

And let's just relax today.

Let's!

Now.

-Where are we going? - On holiday.

In the trunk under a blanket.

Is there any wine?

Am I here, a supermarket?

The vineyards were cut down, did you hear?

Let's go to?

Now.

Hold it.

"Soviet youth"?

Can I talk to Karakhan?

Dmitry, he will understand.

Yes, I understand, Dim. Thank you!

Snezhan, sunshine, go get some cigarettes, huh?

Gosh, don’t you have any legs?

I need to work.

Please! Please!

OK.

They say children are our future.

Injustice!

Children have their own future. And we are their past.

And the worst thing we can do is

This is to place the burden of your mistakes on the children’s shoulders.

Karahan.

To the main thing.

Run!

To her!

Pavel Yurievich, yes, I’m listening.

A! He showed up!

Well, Karakhan, you've finished your game!

Here, meet me. Major Shipov Petr Romanovich.

- For your soul. - You can just Peter.

Yes.

My former student.

True, I chose a slightly different path for myself.

Well, don’t pretend to be upset, Pavel Evgenich.

I was a bad student, I almost flunked out, as you remember.

And domestic journalism has not lost anything in my person.

Well! Okay, okay, Peter...

Comrade Major, don’t be poor!

Why are you standing there?

Come on, have a seat. Let's talk!

No no no!

Igor Alekseevich,

where can we have a heart to heart talk?

- So... - Thank you, we do it ourselves.

And…

follow me.

- You and the old man are dashing. - Hm,

I've been dreaming for a long time.

Can I have a cigarette?

Yes.

Times are changing, right?

Igor Alekseevich.

And what kind of administration is this supplied with?

Fifth.

No, thanks, I have it.

Have a seat.

Well, where is it, dear Pyotr Romanovich,

did you see ideological sabotage in my article?

Igor Alekseich, let's not do it.

We are the same age,

We have the same circle of acquaintances, plus or minus,

Why should we shake our feathers at each other, right?

I got acquainted with your work.

- Creativity... - Well, what to call it.

You write beautifully, by the way.

Very relevant.

Hlestka.

I can't do that.

Peter Romanovych,

Well, as Pavel Evgenievich taught us, the main thing is brevity.

Let's not go in circles.

Well, let's not go in circles.

I suggest we work together.

I promise hot topics. Mafia. Currency prostitution.

Materials marked “Secret”.

Times seem to really be changing!

Well, you understand... Cooperation is beneficial. Right?

How is it fashionable to say now?

Peaceful coexistence of the two systems.

Well, usually after such a proposal

you have to ask for a soul in return, right?

Well, why immediately a soul? No!

Just a friendly favor is enough.

A gesture, so to speak, of goodwill.

And this?

Who is your source?

Mother, Pyotr Romanych...

We started off so well.

They promised to get married and take me to the city.

And it turns out that you’re just tumbling in the hayloft.

Igor, it’s okay, what’s wrong with you?

Listen!

The country is stormy. You'd have to be an idiot not to understand what's going on.

And you take this and throw it into the crowd.

Don't you understand that this is a provocation?

I've known for a long time who the source is.

I just want to give you the opportunity to choose the right side.

Correct.

And work.

Take it easy.

For the good of the country, for the good of yourself. Be in good standing.

so what?

Dmitry Goncharov?

Pyotr Romanych,

but to hell with you bald!

Listen...

Hurry up!

Goncharov Dmitry Vladimirovich?

Andrey Kazyukh, State Security Committee.

Please come with us.

What's the matter?

- We'll explain everything on the way. - On the way to where?

- Alain, everything is okay... - No, I want to know!

Alena Sergeevna, it won’t be long.

Take it.

I'll call.
