THE 5TH WHEEL

You probably had no one to even talk to.

Hi! Anatoliy, this is Kirill.

Kirill, this is Anatoliy.

Who is this?

I just told you, it's Anatoliy.

I heard it's Anatoliy. Who is he?

A ghost like me. He found someone to talk to.

I won't transfer him.

- Kirill. - He is not my client. - So what?

I get nothing if I give him a ride. And nothing if I don't.

- Can you just help him? - He's dead. There's no helping it.

I see.

Okay, go on.

I don't know anything.

How did you die?

I don't remember.

How old are you?

What are you here for?

I just wanted to eat.

Maybe the car might help.

- Help with what? - Remembering.

Come on. Come on!

No.

- Get in. - No.

- I said get in! - No, no.

I give rides to people who can't get to the other world right away.

I dealed with people who couldn't get there by themselves too.

So you killed people?

I carried out the sentences.

Get out of here!

Get out!

What? Why?

Who are you anyway?

ANATOLIY

What?

You are judging him.

- He killed people. - So did you.

- Can they even be transferred at all? - Who?

- Executioners. - They are people too.

They kill people voluntarily and intentionally.

I just enforced the law.

- Shut up. Who's asking you? - What?

I did not condemn people to death.

I carried out the sentences.

- Is that any better? - Be quiet.

It is.

Alright. Get out.

- What are you doing? - I won't drive with a murderer on board.

- I'm not a murderer. - Who are you then?

I am the law. Laugh all you want.

I really am the law in this lawless society.

Do you think I did it all for fun?

Sit down!

You slacker brats!

No shame whatsoever!

Believing in nothing but cash!

Where do you have the Mercedes from, kid?

- It's my work car. - Work car!

A nice work you have!

I take this one, I don't take that one. Choice! Freedom!

- Didn't you have a choice? - No!

And it's a good thing! Or our country would be ruined!

Though they stole back then, too.

But I didn't send a single thief to the afterlife.

- Who did you send there? - Murderers.

Rapists.

Thirty-four bastards in three years.

- Each one for a reason! - Still, there's blood on your hands.

Blood!

Maybe.

But it's not human blood.

You can't think of someone who raped a child as a human.

- What about mistakes? - What mistakes?

Mistakes. Sometimes a sentence is passed,

and then later it turns out that person was not guilty.

Well, you know. The convict appeals once,

then a second time, a third time.

And if they decide it was a mistake

they alter the punishment.

- Did you come across such cases? - I did.

There was a couple.

But all that was about...

...state property.

The judges decided

a person shouldn't be shot for that.

- And you never regretted it? - What?

- Your choice of occupation. - My choice...

I went to work in prison because...

Because of what?

- Why do you need to know? - It's not me.

It's you who needs it.

After the Army I became a police detective.

I investigated internal affairs.

- Dirty cops' crimes. - Did they exist back then?

When didn't they?

So...

I found them.

I processed cases, passed them on to the DA's office. They got them off.

And me and my family,

we started getting threats after a while.

I got fed up with that, so I moved to the penitentiary.

You started as an executioner at once?

No, as a common guard.

That was offered to me later, when my daughter was born.

We had no money...

And there was a bonus for every execution.

When did you stop it?

January 1, 1997.

When the Moratorium came into effect.

On the 2nd of January,

no one needed my services anymore.

So that was it? You didn't kill after that?

I didn't kill anyone! I was doing my duty!

Sure, sure...

- Like Nazis in concentration camps. - Goddamn it!

Okay, let's go.

- Anatoliy! - Damn it.

I just want to help you.

You haven't been able to get there for 20 years.

It means something is holding you back. I...

I don't know for sure, but I think it has something to do with your work.

A woman's intuition?

A life experience.

Nice words from a dead person.

Isn't it clear? You must have killed an innocent person.

Right?

We were informed about the Moratorium.

But it was unclear what to do with those already sentenced to death.

I can't say we were too worried about it.

But the convicts had a hard time.

A day more, a day less,

it could change their destiny.

Their execution could be canceled?

Well...

After the Moratorium, their punishment

was automatically reduced to a life sentence.

And you were certainly upset about it, right?

My feelings didn't matter.

The law is the law.

- I wasn't going to argue. - But?

- What a city they spoiled... - Anatoliy.

There was one...

Kirill Krivosheev.

We had a kind of unofficial queue there.

Well, it was his turn.

- To get out? - Yes.

At the last stop.

He had raped five girls in his village near Moscow.

And he confessed to it.

But he had a very stuffy lawyer.

He kept hitting the court with appeals.

One, two, three times.

Like we had beaten him into confessing.

And it wasn't the case at all.

There was plenty of evidence.

So he played for time, he hoped

the Moratorium would come before the case would be processed.

And you took the matter in your hands?

I didn't even think about it.

But when it was clear that he...

- I don't know how they found me. - Who?

The victims' mothers came to me.

Not even fathers.

Mothers.

They collected some money and offered it to me.

To execute the sentence despite the Moratorium.

- Thirty pieces of silver. - It doesn't matter how much it was!

That asshole raped and killed their daughters!

What would you do with such a man?

So we staged an escape attempt.

I did my duty.

- For money! - Yes, for money.

For the exact amount paid by law for that kind of job.

I gave the rest back.

What if the man was not guilty?

And he had a family?

That's right, he had a family.

Several years later, when I had already retired,

I got a call from my colleagues,

former police officers.

They told me the real criminal was caught.

The one who did all that with the girls.

It turned out Krivosheev was forced to confess just to close the case.

So, in the end...

You killed an innocent man.

When I studied the appeal files

I found his daughter.

She was very young and already all alone.

Her mother committed suicide.

Well, almost alone.

Is it here?

At first, I left money in her postbox.

Then her mother's sister took her away.

She worked in this boarding house.

Did you come to visit her?

When I got ill,

I insisted on getting my treatment here.

I wanted to be closer to her.

I almost cared more about her than about my own daughter.

And then...

It was over.

- What was her name? - Irina.

Irina! Irina...

Irina!

Irina!

Irina...

- Irina. - Who are you?

I know what is keeping you here. Come.

Anatoliy.

This is Irina.

Who are you?

Don't you remember me?

Remember, you had a toy when you were little? An elefant.

With green soles.

- Did you give me that? - Yes.

No!

I am the man who killed your father.

Many years ago I worked as...

An executioner.

- Your father was convicted... - He was innocent.

I didn't know that.

I couldn't know that.

I am sorry.

I am so sorry.

- Can you show me where he is buried? - Yes.

Thank you.

Your route is set. 45 minutes to the destination point.

It's time.

All convicts were buried anonimously.

Under numbers.

Then how do you know where my father is?

I always took notes of who was buried where.

It's here.

Did you wife know what you were doing?

No. She thought I was a common guard.

So you lied to her?

I didn't want her to carry that burden.

You have to take care of your loved ones.

- What is your name? - Kirill.

Thank you.
