Let me in?

I'm not here to hurt you, I just want to talk.

- Quiet, give it to me. - Sergey's here. He was at the door.

Call the police.

- Yes? - Vera saw Kovalenko outside the house.

Raise the alarm.

Did you see him yourself?

No, only she did. Can't you just ask someone to come and check?!

THE SURGEON

Chapter 5. THE DONORS

Crazy! And he didn't even touch you once?

Didn't even try?

No.

When did he last have sex? At least four years.

Look, he's not a rapist.

He's an

intelligent, educated guy.

A doctor.

I don't think he killed anyone. I think he was framed.

Ever heard of Stockholm syndrome? I watched a film about it recently.

Victims often defend their captors and even fall in love.

Is he good-looking?

Quite. But I'm taken. As you know.

Oh sure, the mythical Valery.

When will you introduce us? How long have you been together?

Exactly one year. He invited me to a restaurant today.

Intriguing. You think he's going to propose?

Looks like it.

You think it's funny.

I'd have got it on with that convict.

Why isn't Anton in hospital?

You can't provide the care he needs at home.

Listen... Anton is 12 years old.

He spent 5 of those years in hospitals.

He's had enough.

- Mom, where are you? Over. - Anton, are you okay? Over.

I'm okay, just wanted to show you a funny video. Over.

I'll be there in two minutes, okay? Over.

Two minutes. Over and out.

- I'm with him every minute of the day. - Radios are a good idea.

When you went to prison,

your colleagues started dragging him around conferences, like a lab rat.

Showing him off.

Everyone was amazed, they said it was unbelievable,

it was impossible, a miracle.

Then

when Anton started getting worse,

guess what Roman Titov did?

He refused to treat him. Of course, he doesn't need our problems.

The clinic already got everything it needed from Anton.

Recognition, news articles. "Russian doctors did the impossible."

I spent a year going around doctors,

begging for help.

I'm done. I'm exhausted.

And I have no money.

I'll help you. I'll find the money, and a clinic.

You can't even help yourself.

- You're his mom. Don't give up hope. - I'm not giving up.

My only hope is that Anton will survive until New Year

and we'll be together at home.

Goodbye.

Mister.

Mister!

Wake up!

Why are you sleeping in the park?

Was I sleeping? I just sat down and closed my eyes.

Had an argument with the wife, went out to cool off.

Just wanted to sit alone and not listen to her yelling.

Got any ID on you?

- Why did they get you? - For no good reason.

Argued with my wife, fell asleep in the park.

They don't give a damn about anyone's problems.

They'll let you out after a few hours.

Me, I'm screwed. Deportation.

Look at them. They're quiet. Waiting for something.

Either there's a quota or they want money.

And I'm broke.

Is this enough?

Hey, chief.

Let's talk.

- Enjoy your meal. - Thank you.

Tasty?

Mmm... It's wonderful.

The Almighty sent you to me. You helped me, right?

So I was sent to you for some reason too. How can I help?

You can't help. I have no money and nowhere to go.

You spent that money wisely.

Money comes and goes. What do you do for a living?

- I was a doctor. - Oh, a distinguished man!

That's all in the past. I lost everything.

I need somewhere to rest

for a few days, a shower, a change of clothes, and some sleep.

Not a problem. Let's eat and then you come with me.

It's not a five-star hotel, but we'll find you a bed.

Caravanserai, third floor. Don't forget.

Salam!

Does Sherzod have

a spare mattress?

Did his nephew leave?

There should be a mattress. Don't know about sheets.

- Batyr. - Sergey.

Need to air the room out.

Here's a change of clothes. They're clean.

Thanks.

What's with his eye?

Don't even ask.

They go looking for trouble.

And they get hurt.

I don't ask questions. The less you know, the better.

- Found some sheets. - Thanks.

You okay with that?

It's great. I'll only stay a couple of days.

Stay as long as you want.

The more the merrier.

Hi, babe.

These are for you.

They're pretty.

Sorry I'm late, there was a meeting.

It's okay.

This is also for you.

Thanks.

Try them on?

Of course.

I thought they'd go well with the pendant I gave you for your birthday.

Yes. They'll go well.

Wonderful.

- How are you feeling? - Great.

I can tell it's not true.

I know you were expecting something else.

But this is not the time to mix work with pleasure.

I'm up for reelection,

I don't want to give the committee extra reasons to gossip about us.

Understand me?

Also, the expedition to Mexico could fall through.

Let's get drunk!

- Did I wake you? - I wasn't sleeping.

What happened to your eye?

Ah,

I was in a fight.

Got hit with a metal bar. Didn't see it coming.

Long ago?

About six months.

Are you using any ointment or drops?

Should I?

Can I take a look?

I'm a doctor.

I'll need some light.

May I?

Hold still, hold still, almost done...

Aha.

Does it hurt? Does it water?

It keeps me awake. It gets watery when I lie down,

but I'm used to it.

I see.

If you tell me the truth, I'll tell you what medicine to use. It'll get better.

What truth?

How you lost your cornea.

Hmm.

Well I... lost a fight.

Some bigshots bet a lot of money on me.

I had to pay up.

Or they would go after my dad.

Some people came here,

they said I can sell a kidney or something else.

I sold them an eye.

Who were they?

Don't know. It's done through middlemen.

But I'll find out who they are and get my revenge.

Not for my eye, though. For my dad.

When he saw what happened to my eye he went

to get even.

And never came back.

We spent two months looking for him.

Those are serious people,

I'd advise you not to go after them.

Did I ask your advice?

I'll find them and kill them.

- Sergey, brother, come with me. - What's the matter?

I'll tell you on the way.

- Come on, hurry! - Let me put my shoes on.

Doctor coming through! Let the doctor through!

Hold on, hold on.

- When did it start? - 12 hours ago.

- Did you do an epidural? - Twice.

The baby's sideways and I can't turn it.

She needs to go to hospital.

Call an ambulance.

They don't come here.

We don't have insurance, we're all illegal immigrants...

I said, call an ambulance. There's nothing I can do without equipment.

Doctor, we'll pay whatever you ask.

It's not a question of money, she'll be dead in half an hour.

What did you say?!

She'll die in half an hour and so will the baby. Call an ambulance!

Please, doctor, I'm begging you!

Save her!

What are you waiting for? Cut the umbilical cord!

It's all by the will of Allah. You did everything you could.

I told you, our meeting was no accident.

Everything is decided for us.

That little baby boy needed you.

You saved him.

Gave him life.

Now I know why we met.

Here it is.

Immigration control, open up.

Open up!

- Show your ID! - Open the door!

- Sergey, get up! - What's up?

Police are here, it's a raid!

Put the courier uniform on.

- Where's Nurali? - He was first to run away.

Stop!

I said stop!

- Don't move! - Hands up! Stay still!

Keep going!

Don't move! Stay still!

Come on.

How about tomorrow after school we go biking in the park?

Sounds awesome.

Let's go?

- I'll catch you up. - Alright. Hello?

I'll meet you outside!

How's school? Do you like it?

Why did you escape? They'll put you in for life.

I missed you.

I wanted to see you, and talk to you.

You think it's funny?

You're so grown up.

Let's just talk for a few minutes,

then you give me a hug and I'll go.

I have nothing to say to you.

You ruined everything.

Do you have any idea what you did?

Why did you change your surname? Did Mom make you do that?

- I don't want to be a murderer's daughter. - Who's a murderer? That's nonsense.

Everything they tell you is just a bunch of lies. Trust me, honey.

- Good afternoon. - Hello.

Hi. I'll drop by after lunch.

Hi.

Be quiet and stay still. Put your phone down, now!

Was it you who persuaded Vera to give false testimony?

- Yes. - Bastard.

Who ordered my assassination in prison? You as well?

- Not entirely. - Not entirely? How's that?

Together with Bulatov? Huh?

- Huh?! - Yes.

Swine. Are you scheming again?

"It's not entirely what it looks like, don't jump to conclusions."

Well I don't believe you, you piece of shit.

Living in my house, huh?

Bastard.

Alright, stop shitting yourself. I'm not going to kill you today.

Don't want to get my hands dirty.

You'll be in prison soon.

They'll make a bitch out of you on the first night.

They like pretty boys like you.

Let's go freshen you up a bit.

On your knees, bitch.

Get down, bitch.

Down!

Lower, Roman, right into the bowl.

What are you doing? Get him! The delivery guy in the baseball cap!

Find him!

- Need help? - Get lost.

From Unknown: "See you in one hour on the Okruzhnaya platform."

Thanks for coming.

I thought I'd never see you again.

I wanted to pay you back.

I'll get on the next train and leave.

What's next?

I don't know.

I saw my daughter.

You could even say I talked to her, so I did what I wanted to do.

And now...

Thank you for everything.

Wait.

Can I come with you?

- Bad idea. - I agree.

But I know that if I let you go now and I don't do anything I'll...

I'll seriously regret it.

I never stopped thinking about you. From the moment we split up.

I couldn't get you out of my mind.

I read all about the clinic and Marina.

- What for? - What do you mean?

It's so obvious. They killed Marina over her investigation.

It's insane that the police didn't look into that!

It's clear that you were framed. We can find evidence and witnesses

who will confirm that the clinic deals in black market organs.

Maybe. But it won't change anything.

Nobody will want to reopen an investigation from years ago.

And then...

What am I supposed to do?

Turn myself in?

I can't go back to prison, I won't last two days there.

Everyone wants me dead.

So...

That's not an option.

What do we do then?

We don't do anything. Just forget about it.

I want to save you.

You already saved me.

That's more like it, this is a properly prepared organ.

Not a hack job like last time. Am I right?

Yes, Roman.

Almost done. Scissors.

Done.

Excellent job.

Beautifully done.

Close her up. Thanks, everyone.

We've got a sudden drop in blood pressure!

- Stabilize her. - Cardiac arrest.

Resuscitate her.

Adrenalin!

Prepare the defibrillator!

You gave me your word that nothing would go wrong.

Anton...

Please accept our sincere condolences.

We did everything we could.

It was a very difficult operation.

We appointed our best surgeon.

But there's always a risk of an unsuccessful outcome.

What did you call it?

An unsuccessful outcome?

A person died. My wife.

Sir...

We all knew about your wife's poor physical and functional state.

But waiting for a transplant was out of the question.

The operation went smoothly, I did everything right.

But in the end your wife's heart simply stopped.

Unfortunately there are risks beyond our control.

My team and I tried to resuscitate your wife for 40 minutes,

but she didn't respond.

I'm very sorry.

Roman, I warned you.

Did you hear what you just said? "Me, me!"

You didn't even try to apologize! You should've taken responsibility!

I did everything I could.

Sergey!

Shit.

"I'm sorry, I didn't want to wake you.

I'll write in the evening, probably from a new number.

Please don't worry about me. Sergey."

Dear colleagues, I would like to...

- Sorry. - Hi, Julia.

I understand that your students are used to your lack of punctuality,

but what did we do to deserve this?

And why are you so unkempt? Were you on an expedition?

Yes, I was on an expedition. My apologies, I got held up.

Very well. In that case, I'll start again for the benefit of Julia.

How's your Valery?

There is no Valery. There's Peter Baskakov.

...recently made a very unusual discovery.

What?!

Julia, I'll wait for you outside.

Peter, I need your signature.

"I ask to be relieved from my duties..."

What's this about?

Is it because I told you off in front of everyone?

No.

Listen...

People will start spreading rumors about you and I.

Going on expeditions together, joint research.

There's personal life, and there's work. Let's not mix them together.

Indeed, let's not. Your signature will fix everything.

That's your emotions speaking.

My emotions have run dry.

It's as dull as it gets.

I've lost all interest in working with you...

And in you.

So he says, "You think histology is hard?

Wait till you start physiopathology!"

Hey.

Hey.

Olga, meet Kirill. Kirill, meet Olga. Kirill is an intern surgeon.

Can we talk for a minute?

I came to apologize.

I'm sorry I dragged you into that shit.

It's okay, I enjoyed it. I'd do it again.

I can't promise you the same kind of fun but you can join me for a gig tonight.

See those two clowns?

My minders.

Is your dad some big shot?

My parents have big problems,

so now it's just home and school for me.

I see. Too bad.

I'll try to give them the slip.

- Bad girl? - Yes, I am.

Meet me at the back door.

- Is this book any good? - Very. Worth reading.

The guy really knows his stuff.

S. L. Kovalenko. Do you know him?

Never met him, but I'd love to. I'm a big fan of this book.

I see.

- My dad wrote it. - Really?

Yes, but I can't introduce you. You know why.

Yes, I heard about it.

When we were sitting by the river. Full of adrenaline.

That was the time. But now...

- Isn't the time? - Isn't the time.

I'll be right back.

Anfisa, what's wrong?

I've been summoned to the investigative committee about that time when we...

Wait!

Hi.

Hi.

Sorry, I didn't know you had company.

Why did you come here? We agreed that if anything happens, you call!

Because it was you who got me into this mess!

Okay, calm down. What happened?

An investigator came and started asking me

about that guy from med school, the one we took a kidney from.

And what, you got scared?

Are you stupid? Of course I got scared, it's like putting two and two together.

Right.

We stick to the plan.

We call the Hunter. We've discussed this plenty of times.

If anything goes wrong, we call them.

- They'll kill us. - No they won't. Look at me.

They need us.

They need us.

Very big people are involved in this. They don't need a scandal.

They'll deal with it quietly.

Exactly. They'll kill us as witnesses.

To Sergey: "Are you okay? I'm worried"

Are you filming again?

Yep, and I just got a great shot. And you're beautiful.

- Do you know who I wanted to be? - Who?

- Don't laugh. - I won't.

A math teacher. We had a good math teacher in school.

You're still young, you can study and find a good job. I'll help you.

From Peter: "Julia, let's talk. I can come over now"

From Julia: "Not today. Okay?"

From Peter: "Okay"

Who's there?

Hello, does Marina Kolodina's sister live here?

I'm not her sister, I'm her cousin. Who are you?

I'm Julia. Marina was my colleague. You must be Lyudmila?

- Marina was killed three years ago. - I know. I'm sorry for your loss.

We're doing a report in memory of Marina.

She was a brilliant journalist.

Maybe you have some of her materials? On a computer or a flash drive?

I don't know anything about that.

When the investigation was over they gave us all her stuff.

Let me have a look.

We sold it all straight away. We're always short of money.

Do you know what was in it?

I have no idea. My daughter took care of that.

There was a computer, and... It's all legal though, right?

Of course. Of course.

Can I talk to your daughter?

Maybe she knows what was on it? Or saved it somewhere.

Sasha's not here right now. My daughter.

Give me her phone number, please.

Better you give me yours. If she remembers anything she'll call you.

Okay.

I don't have any paper. Mind if I write it on this?

As you wish.

- Please make sure she calls me. - Of course, of course.

Okay?

Help me! Help!

Be quiet.

No, no, no!

Shut your mouth or I'll slit your throat!

Let's go.

Are you completely stupid? I said the other one!

Wait in the van.

You got lucky. But she didn't.

She'll die.

But you'll live.

Don't look for him.

You know who I mean? Kovalenko is dead.

Forget him. Better yet, leave the city.

The story of the famous surgeon Sergey Kovalenko has reached a tragic end.

A traffic accident occurred on the Kaluga highway,

in which a car crashed into a ravine and went on fire.

Both the vehicle's occupants died at the scene.

The driver was Sergey Kovalenko,

a convicted murderer who recently escaped from prison.

The passenger was Anfisa Polyakova, originally from Vyritsa in Leningrad Oblast.

In other news, a fire broke out in an apartment on General Ermolov street,

resulting in several people being injured.

The cause of the fire may have been...
