Original subtitles

Look what a beautiful country it is.

250 million population.

And there are only five laboratories that can detect HIV.

I monitor these patients closely.

This looks like something serious.

Goncharov, Research Institute of Epidemiology.

You sent blood samples from Aisa Badmaeva.

She tested positive for HIV.

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

Let's reach out through the newspapers.

If we are the first to speak, we will be guilty.

The country is storming.

And you take this and throw it into the crowd.

Don't you understand that this is a provocation?

State Security Committee, please come with us.

What is your name?

Shipov Pyotr Romanovich, KGB of the USSR.

You found AIDS in Kalmykia.

- Do you know what they are doing there now? - In Elista?

Listen.

They get rid of evidence.

The ends are cleaned up, the papers are burned.

They are looking for scapegoats.

Now it’s not the nationalists there we need to fear,

Buddhists, God forgive me.

We need to be afraid of the local mafia.

We don't have a mafia.

Certainly.

No.

Just like AIDS.

And you are an optimist.

I'm just looking for the truth.

But no one likes the truth.

I'm actually going to look for her too.

Not really. You will defend yours.

- Interests of the department. - You do not know me.

I know people.

You leaked information to Karakhan and framed your father.

This is how it works.

This is how I look at you - you seem like a good person,

Soviet doctor, scientist.

But there is some kind of rottenness in you.

Some kind of wormhole, sore.

And if so...

Comrade Goncharov, Comrade Shipov, come in.

Your places. Come on in.

Comrades, chief expert

on illness Dmitry Goncharov.

Comrade Shipov represents the department of Comrade Kryuchkov.

Comrade Goncharov,

are you sure it's HIV?

In Elista.

I…

Sorry.

Maybe this is some kind of mistake after all?

We re-analyzed.

This is HIV.

How many cases are there now?

Four identified. But there may be more.

Elista does not have testing systems.

Local doctors conduct tests for immunoenzymes and PCR and send them to us.

Only we can detect the virus.

Where hundreds of kilometers from the border

has the American infection appeared?

She was there, but she was not given due attention.

And HIV is not an American disease. More likely African.

Four cases is not a thousand.

Only on this scale can we talk about an outbreak.

- As in the case of cholera. - There are differences.

The analysis will show cholera in the first day.

In the case of HIV, the test will show antibodies only after a month.

That is, the patient may be no different in appearance from you and me.

And at the same time spread the virus.

How can I stop him?

Find the source of infection - patient zero.

Trace his contacts.

The entire chain of spread of the virus.

Isolate infected people and begin treatment.

Is there a cure for AIDS?

AZT. They do not cure, but reduce the risk of disease progression.

There is a patient in Leningrad who transmitted the virus to a child.

The boy is five years old. He is treated with AZT.

And the disease does not progress.

Do we have enough of this medicine?

Mikhail Sergeevich,

This medicine is imported.

We do not have any currency for purchase.

But we don’t have our own analogues.

Why?

We believe that...

The problem of AIDS is not so pressing.

Where do you get this drug?

Foreign specialists give the drug to those

who will agree to transport him across the border.

My father brought this batch from Stockholm.

Contraband?

Should I let the child die?

So, comrades, we will consider this issue

at the state level.

Can you imagine the howl the Western press will raise?

I admit sabotage.

Well, what if AIDS is a biological or political weapon?

our opponents?

Why not?

And Elista was not chosen by chance.

What do you have in mind?

As they report to me, in Kalmykia they have sharply intensified

religious and nationalist movements.

But given the situation our country is in now,

this region is becoming explosive.

And the timing was also chosen for a reason.

Soon it will be 45 years since the deportation of Kalmyks to Siberia during the war.

And now, comrades, let's remember,

What do we have next to Kalmykia?

This is Dagestan.

This is Chechnya.

And all the deported peoples.

So illness among children will be like a fuse cord,

which will explode the situation not only in these regions.

I'm afraid it's the same throughout the country.

Now what, declare a state of emergency?

Well, let's not go too far.

I suggest just keeping this information secret.

And let the virus spread?

AIDS is not just a disease.

This is a silent killer. We're not ready.

We do not have information about safe sex in our country.

Because officially there is no sex itself.

Unofficially, porn is played in the salons.

If we bury our heads in the sand

and deny the virus with a fatality rate of 100%,

we will become accomplices in the murder of citizens.

We will soon have to transfer huge amounts of money

for his treatment because the test costs $30.

The average salary in the country is 10.

We imprison homosexuals, then we are surprised

why don’t they rush to us when they see spots of sarcoma, preferring death to prison.

May you finally stop!

If the virus gets into a blood bank, it will infect thousands.

Through them - millions.

This flash is the first.

But she won't be the only one.

Comrades, go to Elista.

You are from the Ministry of Health, and Pyotr Romanovich is on his side.

- When can you leave? - Tomorrow. Alone for now.

The arrival of a group may make locals nervous.

- I want to look around. - Me too tomorrow. One.

That's good.

Please sign a non-disclosure agreement.

Let's go together.

Let's talk together.

Look, he's back.

- What are you doing here? - Is he like that with all the guests?

I called and said that you were taken. How are you

Well, did they let you go?

I rushed over as soon as I could.

Heel?

- Fifth Directorate? - It's okay, we figured it out.

Who did you talk to?

I don't remember.

Look what a non-disclosure agreement does to people.

They came to me too. I didn't name you.

You don't have to worry either.

OK.

Well, all's well that ends well.

Okay, I'm off.

Igor, where are you going?

The metro will open in two hours. Let's go to bed on the sofa.

Is it possible, Dim?

Look, he's already turned green.

No, I went, I went.

Let's. Doves, coo.

Dim, look

what we did in one article.

Did you see how they moved?

So, we really crushed their leg.

Now is the time. The layers are shaking.

Here you can turn the whole world upside down.

If you press it correctly.

The union will burst like a bubble.

Well,

Well, tell me something else. Give me some details.

Name the place.

Dmitry Vladimirovich?

Train tickets. For tomorrow.

Dima, are you going somewhere?

Okay, I'll go. Happily.

Smoke?

After.

What a great day, huh?

Look, I'm sorry, I forgot to ask. What is the train number?

- Otherwise, we're going together. - Sorry, I don’t know.

- Four cases have been confirmed. - What are you talking about!

- And this is only who was checked. - What a horror.

Yes, yes, I'm talking about the same thing.

- Hello, Elena Francevna. - Greetings.

- Zin, can I see you? - Yes.

No, well, this is a nightmare, of course.

You're early today.

Let's.

Zina, why are you telling her?

Doesn’t she have the right to know, or what?

Her sister's daughter lies there.

You are so interesting, Kir.

Have your tests arrived?

And what?

Gilyana Tserenova is positive.

You cut yourself when Batu was operating, right?

Yes.

And what will happen to us?

What if there are no good options?

Okay, wait, stop. Let's not be afraid in advance.

So, we'll get tested today.

And we will solve problems as they arise.

Well, can you at least tell me how long you're going?

- What would you tell your friend? - Oh, that's it.

Pouted. Maybe we can discuss?

No, sorry, I'm late.

- Dim, he comes here because of you. - Oh, because of me?

Yes, this is his last chance in his career. He grabbed hold of your material.

And you help him. Maybe that's why you're with me at all?

Sorry.

There is an HIV outbreak in Elista.

At the children's hospital.

I'm going there to find out.

Here! Here!

Here!

Gilana, this is Kirsan. Gilana, look.

Bitch!

- Yes, Ivan, Ivan! - I'll kill you, bitch!

Calm down!

Calm down! This is your wife!

Can you hear me? Your wife!

A woman?

Which wife?

We haven't slept for six months now. And now she tells me

so that I donate blood, in case I have AIDS.

Where the f...d?

You brought him here.

- It was you who killed my child. - Everything, everything, everything, Ivan.

Or maybe the child is not mine either?

Huh?

Come on, Van.

You need to call a doctor.

And who are you?

We need a local doctor.

So that he can write out a sick leave.

You don't go to work looking like that.

What will people think?

Attach this.

Vanya didn't want him.

He said: “Young people, let’s live for ourselves, go to the doctor.”

I went and sat and thought:

how is it for yourself?

He's the one for me.

That was the first time I called him by name.

I called it, but I couldn’t do it anymore.

Then I went out to Vanya and said:

“You do what you want, but I’ll leave Bata.”

When they buried him, he said: “It would be better if you listened to me.”

I do not know.

At least I saw it. He saw me.

Don't be angry with Vanya.

No longer.

I beat him before. How was it? Came home drunk.

I climbed and pushed.

He is a dear person to me, Kirsan.

He was the only one left.

Well, the doctor has arrived, now he will explain everything to us.

Yes.

- They say you have AIDS here. - Who's talking?

- Who? - Everyone is talking.

- People says. - Which?

Do these people have a name?

Who is spreading the rumors?

Do you understand where you have come to?

To a government agency.

Whose work you are trying to disrupt.

But you also understand us, there are children there.

- Yes, our children are there. - Why are you standing? Go to work.

We'll take them home.

Nothing will happen to your children.

Here we treat them.

And they got sick, by the way, in your place.

Well, just tell us: is it true or not, huh?

Really?

Well, about AIDS about this one.

I'll say it once.

And I won’t return to this again.

No.

There is no AIDS in the hospital.

Your children are safe.

And now we need to work.

Treat your children. And it's time for you to go to work.

- Sorry. - Thank you.

Can?

I've looked at deaths over the past three months.

There may be more cases.

Many children were sent to Volgograd and Rostov.

We need to request data on purulent-septic...

Are you crazy?

Mind your own business.

And I'll deal with this myself.

If you continue to muddy the waters, I will fire you, okay?

Yes, I understand.

What should I tell them?

- The truth. - Them? Now?

Yes.

People will still find out.

And then not ten people will come here, but a hundred.

You don't know people.

They will begin to poison those who are sick.

I'm leaving in three hours already.

Tatyana, Leonid, you are tomorrow.

I have prepared a list, collect everything you need.

- Dmitry Vladimirovich, your father. - I said I'm busy.

Your father is calling you.

Yes.

Gorbachev flirts with the crowd.

It was the crowd that helped him...

defeat his enemies in the party.

The crowd chooses power.

But if these people...

find out that in the very center of the country

an outbreak of AIDS, which we do not have, -

they will demand blood.

Gorbachev would have thrown someone to death.

Do you think I'm afraid for my place?

No. I agreed to it to help people.

And I won’t give it up just like that.

I gave too much effort

to fight this infection.

Yes, I saw it on TV.

We all have to make compromises, Dima.

Evgeny Ivanovich appointed you to this position.

We have created the best in the world

healthcare system.

I won't let politicians

shake up the entire ministry.

We will lose this war. We've already lost it.

And your father and I will be the last ones.

Dima,

you can help us.

How?

Let's keep in touch.

Discuss every step.

So as not to break any wood.

- Do not let me down. - I have a counter request.

- Dima... - No, no, no, let youth speak.

Start investing in scientific development.

In tests and in HIV prevention.

Well, the budget for this year has already been planned.

And next year, of course, we'll see.

We are spending billions on wars that will not happen.

But the real enemy is already here.

You have influence and ways

convey this to those who distribute funds.

I promise you.

If I have this influence.

Good afternoon. I'm going to Goncharov.

But Dmitry Vladimirovich is not there.

So, at home, should we catch him?

He left.

Where?

Don't know.

That's bad luck.

It took me an hour and a half to get here.

Well, I should have called.

- Do you have any tea? - Nope, just cognac.

Sorry.

Oh, we made it.

And I thought I was going alone.

Dmitry Vladimirovich, we have to travel for a day.

I suggest you be friends.

Are you crazy?

Then I’ll sell them for three rubles.

Hey, just kidding.

Listen, you're beautiful.

I see beauty.

I know how to search.

Listen, if you don't like the photos -

I'll burn them to hell later.

Sit down.

Open your shoulder a little.

Look at the light.

The eyes are beautiful.

Listen.

I'll sell this for tens.

- Smoking? - Yes.

Why did you come? Not for me.

- Did you read it? - Certainly.

Everyone read it.

The people want the truth.

Requires continuation.

Dmitry Vladimirovich left for Elista.

There's an HIV outbreak.

At the children's hospital.

This is a completely different story. This is not about drug addicts and prostitutes.

This is about all of us.

The City Committee will never miss this.

And without a visa, the city committee and our newspaper will not print all this.

Well, we printed without a visa. Just now.

And we will issue it later.

We printed without a visa.

Oh guys, guys...

Do you even understand that I...

I’m exposing not only myself, but also...

you too?

Pavel Evgenievich,

Well, just read and decide.

Yes, I'm listening.

Rom, is that you? What do you have there?

When?

Wait, this is...

Raya will now take the pipe, you dictate to her.

- Yes yes I'm here. - Raya, take it.

- I'm listening to. - Oh damn...

Yes, Roma is calling from Sverdlovsk. There are two compositions, or something,

collided, accident.

In general, one was transporting explosives.

There are more than a hundred victims.

Your mother, huh.

So, my dear guys,

In any case, this is a redesign.

Why are you looking at me?

Let's put you...

to the third lane.

So, how is our mafia different from the American one?

In America there are families.

- And we have organizations. - Yes.

There is a political mafia, there is a medical one, there is a scientific one.

The last two are what you imagine.

If you grow up to the ranks, you will join the first one.

Isn't life hard for you?

No. What's the question?

Listen, well, you enjoy the fact that they are afraid of you.

- Certainly. - Yes.

Aren't you afraid?

And I am not to blame for anything.

It doesn't happen that way.

Ah, that is, everyone is to blame, right?

Certainly.

Conductor, you, me.

Me, maybe even more. There are people in the next compartment.

Everyone has something for their soul. Everyone knows something

what others don't know. And he also knows:

the time will come -

They will definitely ask him.

The time comes -

I'm asking.

The only question is

How much does your guilt have to do with what I'm doing now?

So you are such a punishing angel?

No.

I'm more of a buoy.

- Buoy? - Yes. Red like that.

I'm swaying on the waves. “Don’t swim!”

So, while you're floundering in the shallows,

I can't be seen, I can't be heard.

But as soon as he noticed me, that’s it.

I swam in the wrong direction. Like this.

And what do you think I am guilty of?

Don't know.

I don't know yet.

Will you have sandwiches? My wife wrapped it for me. Honestly, I don’t know why.

No. Thank you. I'll go smoke.

Will you give me some fire?

Listen, why aren’t you getting married?

The guy is young and prominent.

- Haven’t found yours yet? - No, I found it.

Why are you holding out? Look, they'll beat you back.

Not ready.

It's clear.

I wanted to ask:

What happened to you in Afghanistan?

Everything is somehow normal. I volunteered.

Then six months in hell. Gratitude from the command.

Reward. And then…

You know everything about me. This kind of work was done.

Yes, yes, I know. Injury, hospital...

What kind of injury?

Bullet and burn.

Why did you lie there in a state of madness?

Kir, just a minute.

Good morning.

What's going on in your hospital?

People say you have AIDS.

The teacher found, on the fourth, this...

At Gilana's. San, what did you want?

Should my daughter-in-law pick up the child?

What does he have?

Sinusitis

What do you say?

Thank you.

There she is.

Eh, wait, what are you doing?

- Okay, man, get out of here. - Listen, wait, I say, take it away...

Take it easy.

- Is there more there? - No.

Let's go to. Take him.

Thank you.

Hello. "Soviet youth".

For some reason they didn't deliver it today.

- Thank you. - There is nothing? It's a shame.

- There are no seats. - We are on a business trip.

Where are the travel allowances?

Look for places.

Yes, yes, now, of course.

- Hello, is this “Soviet Youth”? - Yes.

- I wanted to know about today's... - The issue was not released

for technical reasons.

Ah, technically. Clear.

- Can I talk to Igor Karakhan? - He is not in the editorial office now.

- Should I convey something? - No, no, there is no need to convey anything.

Thank you.

Hello children!

Hello Aisa.

I brought you a receiver.

Listen to music so you don't get bored, right?

How are you?

Fine.

Great.

Kirsan Aldarovich, did something happen?

You have no face.

No, everything is fine. Everything is fine.

- What about tricks? - Tricks?

Yes, tricks!

Not so loud, not so loud.

Music, huh?

Aisa, please turn on the music.

Do you like this kind of music?

No, the next one.

In! Hello.

- One question: do you know what this is? - Pen!

Handle!

This is not a pen.

This is a magic wand.

Don't believe me? Look.

- I believe. - This coin...

she'll disappear right here.

One two Three!

- What? -Where is she going?

Where's the coin?

At your place?

No? Who has the coin?

Him? Need to check.

Probably hers. Not with him.

What's happened?

Here she is!

Look.

Why are you frozen? Did you see the dead man?

Listen, Viktorovich,

Why, they let him back in?

Calm down, Zhen.

A person's grief. He buried the child.

Well, I drank, well, I put in a couple of shifts. It happens to everyone.

You need to sympathize.

I won't work with him.

And why is that?

What, you don’t know anything, do you?

Yes, they have AIDS, the whole family does.

And the little one of them also died from AIDS.

Yes, the whole city is talking about it.

I hope you didn't shake his hand?

I don’t want to bring AIDS home.

Good.

What is “good”?

Take the money.

Vanya, I'm sorry.

- Aunt Gilana, hello. - Hello, Nikita.

Nikita, come to me. Don't come near Aunt Gilyana again.

Van?

Why are you here?

...smelled the smell of the roast,

and quietly said: “Woof! Woof!

I'll go have a look and then tell you.

It seems to me that it’s not so bad there in the cave.

Cat, come with me.

Meow, no.

I'm a cat, I go wherever I want

and I walk on my own...

Why is it so cold here, huh?

In hospital?

Aren't you?

I'll go take a look.

Van!

Van!
