THE GARDEN RING

Don't.

God, it's so frightening.

He was killed.

Right in front of us.

Yes, it is horrifying.

I think I understand

why people who go to wars

become drug addicts and alcoholics.

It's impossible to keep living like always,

it's impossible to forget.

I keep thinking that it had something to do with Ilya.

How?

I don't know. Maybe he knew something.

And that's why he was killed.

Listen, let's not get wound up about it.

We don't know what happened there and why.

I suggest we discuss it later when we know more.

When will we know more? Who will tell us?

I can't answer that question, Vera. Stop it.

I also can't answer many questions.

You know what? I read his chat with Sasha.

It's such a weird chat, it's not how teenagers talk.

They send emojis to each other. They argue and then make up.

- And their chat was something else. - What did he talk to her about?

His messages were formal like in the military.

"When are we meeting?"

"Should I cover for you?"

What is it, Andrey?

And you know what Kogtev said? That Ilya sold his car two weeks ago.

- He sold it? - Yes.

Why, Andrey? Why?

Didn't we give him enough money? What did he get himself into?

Yes. Yes.

I know.

No, I'll come. Yes.

- Who is it? - It's from work.

Andrey, what have you done?

What have you done?

- What? - Have you lost your mind?

- It's indecent! - Cover it.

- Cover it? - Cover it.

Our son is missing, how can you think about sex?

What's wrong?

I broke my nail.

Go to a nail salon, they'll fix it.

Andrey.

Do you hear what you're saying?

"Go to a nail salon?"

I don't know where Ilya is.

A man was killed right before my eyes.

And you're telling me to go to a salon?

What else? Should I get a new haircut? Freshen up a bit?

Vera, I know that you've had a rough week.

You need to unwind. To relax.

You should take care of yourself, do you understand?

Hello.

Can you sign me up for a manicure today? Yes, to Venera.

European. With coating. Yes.

Find time for me then. Look for it.

Yes.

- Okay, bye. - Wait.

No, not you. I'm waiting.

Andrey, money. Yes, I'm here.

- Sorry, I forgot. - You don't have cash?

- No cash? - As you can see.

- Andrey, wait, I'll come with you. - No.

- Why? - I have a meeting now and then...

But I need to pay Larisa and for my mani. And my fitness club card is expired.

No, I said to Venera, not Veronica. Can you not hear me? I have no money.

Maybe you can't hear me? I'm late.

Yes, sorry.

Bad connection.

Thanks, it's okay. I'll sign up next week.

Hi.

- I didn't notice you. - Any news about Ilya?

I can go to the market.

Buy farmer cheese and make cheesecake with cherry sauce.

It would be great.

Then I need money.

- Huh? - I need money.

Money?

Anyone can do it with money.

Try to do it without money.

Can you exchange it?

Hello.

Mom.

I'm glad to see you too my dear.

So, any news?

- Ilya's missing. - I know.

It's so nice to find out that my grandson is missing from your sister, not from you.

What's more, I find out a week after he went missing.

You couldn't help us anyway. So I decided not to upset you.

How hypocritical of you. Ilya is missing, but you didn't want to upset me?

I feel like I'm in a second-rate drama.

Mom, it's my life, it's not a second-rate drama.

Your life?

What exactly is your life?

Do you look in this mirror? What's on your neck?

It's so disappointing.

Meet Potap.

He's my very good friend.

Actually, his name is Kolya, but he thinks that Potap

is a name that is more exciting and

it holds more weight in this world of human connections.

- He makes music. - Hi.

Hello.

So, the police, private investigators? Have you done anything?

Yes, we filed a report.

They searched his room.

We asked all our friends for help. I can't keep talking about it.

Andrey asked a security service officer for help.

He was killed right in front of us, do you understand?

We'd like some coffee.

Grapes.

Potap, could you please help me?

Could you get that plate from over there?

- What are you doing? - Nothing.

- Why? - Why what?

What's with all that stuff? These candles and grapes. Why all that?

I'm trying to set a table, mom. What's wrong with that?

Are we celebrating something? Why do you look so festive?

Why do you waste your energy on useless things that have no meaning?

- You're welcome. - Thanks.

- Hello. - Good afternoon.

Hi, Lara.

This is my mom, Rita, and this is Larisa. She helps us around the house.

Vera, I don't want to bother you.

I'll go to the bank and pay my loans.

But you have to pay me.

Andrey said there was a queue at the bank, he didn't withdraw any money.

- So you're not paying me today? - Tomorrow, if possible. Or tonight. Okay?

You're on a first-name basis with your housemaid?

Mom, she is my housemaid and I decide how we address each other.

Do you know why there's so much dis-balance in the air in this house?

Why?

They need a tiny curly dog

who'd run around with this velvet collar with a heart on it, you know?

And an engraving on the collar.

Name: Porsche.

Their phone number and "a reward is guaranteed".

And a dirty diaper in the hall.

Because no one walks him.

And how can he run away,

if no one will pay for him?

Mom, I appreciate your sense of humor, but my mood isn't right for it right now.

I'm asking you to respect my house and my family.

My dear, everything that you have and your entire family exists thanks to me.

Because your husband sold my apartment during his fame hours.

And pretty. Let's go baby.

What a weird story it is, Andrey Petrovich.

Understand me, it's my job to get the facts straight.

I have a lot of work, if there's nothing new, I'd like to leave.

There is something new, Andrey Petrovich, that's the thing.

It turns out that you and Vera Mikhailovna

are witnesses in the case of murder of Oleg Petrenko.

We confiscated his belongings, his phone in particular.

And guess who was the last person he called?

Yes, he called me.

It's no a secret.

You know who he was, right?

My friends recommended him to me.

I was hoping he'd help me find my son. Since you can't do it.

I understand your resentment, Andrey Petrovich.

But right now you're associated with three people,

who are connected to our three most important cases.

Well, what would you think if you were me?

You want to say I hired robbers to attack my wife, kidnapped my son.

- And hired a killer for Oleg? - No, I don't think so.

But life shows that if a lot of bad things start happening to a seemingly good person,

then there's something wrong with that person.

It happens only in films that an evil mob suddenly attacks an honest businessman.

- Is that all? - For now.

But please, Andrey Petrovich, don't leave the city.

Should I give an undertaking not to leave the city too?

Of course, Andrey Petrovich. Of course.

- Yes. - Hi. I need to talk to Sasha.

You already did. And so did the detective. She said all she knew. Stop it.

I recovered notes from Ilya's phone about Sasha and him.

And I really need to talk to her now.

Are you crazy or what? What could they even talk about?

"Let's meet at seven, take the ice-cream." What's there to talk about?

This is nonsense.

Go to your room.

Do you understand what she feels like?

He's missing. She doesn't know what's going on.

She feels guilty and you exacerbate that feeling.

You talk to us as if we're hiding something from you.

As if we know where Ilya is and we're just not telling you.

Katya, it's not about ice-cream, listen to me.

I really need to talk to Sasha now!

I'm asking you to leave my child and my family alone. Got it?

- Mom? - My baby kitten, come here, come on.

- When did you come? - Recently.

You know, Vera is such a good girl.

It's so nice to be in her house.

Such a pretty house. And you know how she welcomed me?

She set up a table, made coffee better than at a restaurant.

It takes a big talent to make a house so comfortable and cosy.

Really, not everyone can do it. Far from it. How are you doing?

- Me? - Listen, you look great.

- Thanks. - What a dress!

But you know, a massive necklace would look good on you.

You know, on a long chain.

Yes. I have it.

My good girl. Listen, are you not wearing a bra?

No, it's just... This dress...

What are you even thinking? Your breasts are really saggy.

You simply must wear a bra.

Okay, kiss me. Come here.

I'll go make some more coffee.

Mom, I'm sorry, I have to go to work, I'm sorry, bye! Thanks!

I'll walk with you.

I didn't want to tell her, but she pressured me.

We were on Skype and she...

- She came with someone else. - Really? Who?

With a new lover. He's 25, maybe 30.

- Why are you telling me this? - No reason.

To have a dig at me? That this old bag has a young lover?

I'm just talking. I'm surprised, it's kind of fascinating.

That a woman at such advanced age still has arrows in her bow.

You're just taking revenge on me. For talking to her about Ilya.

- Are you in your right mind? - I am.

But you aren't.

Who are you pretending to be, you fool?

You don't like it that I told mom?

That she knows that your pretense that your family is happy

is just an attempt to hide the fact that your family hasn't been happy in ages.

Okay, stop it.

- I'm cutting off all contact with you. - What a relief.

If you can't deal with your teenage complexes at your age.

I can't deal with it? I?

Then teach me how to deal with it. You must know, right?

Me?

Idiot.

- Open the door. - Go to hell!

- Come on, open it. - I hate you! I won't open it.

I'm so sorry.

Fine.

Let's not argue.

You're the most important person for me.

I love you very much.

I love you too.

What about mom's new boy? Is he pretty?

He is pretty.

But a bit flamboyant.

So she'll stay with him at your place?

Well, she won't stay at yours.

Have you told Andrey?

Not yet.

So he doesn't know?

Listen, we had a big argument in the morning.

You look nice.

- I'm here to talk about the contract. - Is that a new dress?

- No. - I don't remember it.

What are you going to do?

Do you understand that...

Come here. Come here.

Come here! Now! Calm down.

It's fine. It's okay, it's just glass. Just glass. Calm down.

- Did something break? - No, nothing broke. It's fine.

- Thanks. - What was that? What was that?

- I don't know what it was. - They tried to shoot you. I could die!

- Nothing happened to you, calm down. - Were you trying to kill me? Is that it?

- Are you crazy? - It was on purpose, you tried to kill me!

- You're a bastard! I hate you! - What does it have to do with you, psycho?

I have nothing to do with it? I'll show what I can do.

I'll go to her and I'll tell her everything. Everything!

- Anya, calm down! - Go to hell, bastard!

Don't be silly, come here.

Hi. Can I come to you right now?

What happened?

- I almost got shot today. - Cool.

By who?

Who knows, they shot through a window.

Are you better now?

Yes. Much better.

No.

Why?

Come on. For your health.

No, I can't.

Why?

I can't.

I'm getting married.

Married?

When?

Soon.

So he actually proposed to you?

It just so happened that he will do it soon.

Then for the last time. Before the wedding.

No.

Just a kiss.

Can you give me some of it to go?

How much?

As much as you can spare.

- For money. - Really?

How much?

- 12 thousand rubles. - 12 thousand?

- Why 12? - Everything gets more expensive here.

Global financial crisis, you know.

I don't need your poison anyway.

Here.

All 100 millions.

And all the info about the account and transfers.

- I believe you, Andrey Petrovich. - Let my son go.

We have no idea where your son is, Andrey Petrovich.

You mean you let him go already?

We didn't detain him.

You think we should have?

Lera, oh my God.

Vera Mikhailovna, he was trying to kill me.

Sit down, darling. Calm down. Sit down.

Vera Mikhailovna, I have nowhere to go. I ran away and I don't have my phone.

- I only remember your address. - Okay. Mom. Mom! Where are you?

Mom! Where's mom?

- She's in the shower. - Bring the ice.

Hurry.

- Is your head spinning? - No, not anymore.

- Are you sick? - No.

- What did he hit you with? - Bare hands. And he had keys.

Here. Take it.

Vera Mikhailovna, may I stay with you?

Hold the ice.

Vera, please, I feel so bad.

Okay, let's go.

Come on, let's go.

Close the door.

Artem, I'm asking you as a friend.

Give me some more time.

This sub prefect ratted me out to the cops. That's why the Germans bailed.

It doesn't mean anything. I just need time to sign a new contract. I need time.

I can't wait, I need my money.

For God's sake, Artem. We've known each other for 20 years.

We're friends. Some stuff happened, I know. It was my mistake, I admit it.

- But you know I'll give it back. - I don't doubt you.

I just need my money. That's it.

Give me another month.

I can't. After this I'm meeting people who are ready to deal with your debt.

Listen, I have active assets.

A dacha in Nikulshino, it's a good house in a guarded area.

The house is worth half a million, the land - even more.

It won't cover your debt.

Then maybe you'll tell them not to shoot through my windows?

Transfer all the statutory books and all office branches to my name.

- Do you know where Ilya is? - What?

Nothing.

- Some painkillers before I stitch you up? - Yes, please.

- Stitch? Stitch what? - We have to, Lera.

We have to. Or you'll have a scar and you'll have to get surgery.

It's fine, go to the doctor.

How did it happen?

Well... I...

I came home

and maybe I was a bit late,

but I didn't stop anywhere.

My phone was always on.

I come home and he's drunk.

And he called me Natasha. I asked him who Natasha was.

He said it was nobody.

And I... I started asking...

And he said I was no one.

That I'm worse than an animal.

And that he married me

for my pretty... he used a swear word.

Face.

And that he invested in me.

That I should kiss his genitals for it.

Will you file a report?

No.

Where are we going?

He caught you cheating, didn't he?

He didn't cheat on you. You did.

And there was no Natasha.

- Stop crying, you're annoying me. - It's not my fault.

Don't you understand that you'll have no bags, no phones, nothing.

What are you going to do next?

You don't know what it's like to live with him.

I know everything.

When he slept with me

he covered my face with his hand to avoid seeing me.

And when he went on his business trip

he went to a sauna with underage girls.

One of them sucked him off and the other one was in a doggie position.

And he talked about it with his friends in front of me on purpose.

You could have left him?

Where?

To work at a hair salon?

You don't get it.

When I met a normal guy, I cried for days.

I had no idea a man could treat a woman so well.

Maybe I should take you to this man? Does he know what happened?

No. No... I... I can't let him see me like this.

Lera. An adult relationship consists of accepting each other.

Different things happen in life.

We're not always with make up and heels.

- Give me his phone and address. - No.

I'm in a difficult situation right now. My child is missing.

- I don't have time for you. - Where are you taking me?

To a place where you'll get help.

Vera, I was so worried, you took so long, I thought something had happened.

- We were at the hospital. - How are you?

No changes. I brought a girl.

You're an angel. An amazing person.

To think so much about others, it's such a rarity nowadays.

- It hurts to look at. Husband? - Yes.

We'll see where we can place you.

Does she have anything else? Clothes, toiletries?

No, no clothes, no documents.

I see. Let's go, girls.

Vera, social services stopped by.

They wanted to sign a contract for food delivery.

I asked how much money they wanted.

They asked for so much! Social services!

That's why, I'm a bit uncomfortable, but...

- Could you, if you have an opportunity... - Wait, Alla Sergeevna.

Who lives in this room?

- 104? - 104.

No one now, why are you asking?

Who used to live here?

Here...

I registered them all.

- A lot of girls lived here. - Look through all of them.

Everyone who lived here this year.

- Everyone? - Yes.

I want to know who stayed there constantly.

No one did.

- Are you sure? - Look for yourself.

No one lived there constantly. Here's Radchenko.

She stopped by for four days. Then Korobkova. Stepanova with a child.

Who is it? Why is she here?

This is...

- This is Ira. - Who is she?

She lived here for a while. Then she left, we don't have her contacts.

She told me her name was Lida.

Anything can happen. A lot of girls use fake names here.

- May I take the photo? - Of course.

Hi.

Vera, I love you very much.

I'm sorry. This is for you.

- Give them to mom. - Who?

My mom is here.

My good boy.

Baby, take a tart shell.

Would you like a snail?

Mom.

- Fondue? - No, thanks, I don't eat it.

Andrey, try it.

- Can I change seats? - Why, is it windy there?

It's cold here. I forgot to wear a bra.

I'll finally get to sit with pretty boy.

I'd like to raise a toast for Rita.

- Anya, let's drink to Rita. - Sure.

Thanks Andrey. Let's not clink glasses.

You've made so much food.

Rita, thank you so much for coming from America.

To support us in this situation. Thank you.

What the hell? It's cold over there and it's so hot here.

Potap, what do you do in this life?

- I sing. Classical music. - Really?

- Lyrical songs, arias and so on. - Cool.

How did you end up in America?

When I realized that I couldn't live up to my potential here

To fulfill my potential.

Potap, shut up and chew quietly. Okay?

I've had enough of this performance.

Andrey, can you explain to me what the hell is going on.

Why is everyone sitting here when a child is missing?

Why is your wife pretending to be a private detective?

And what's that story with the security service worker who died?

I can't take these accusations anymore.

I'm the only person looking for Ilya.

I've done more than the entire police department.

And stop pretending that I'm an idiot. I'm not an idiot, mother!

My darling, you know, I looked at you

and at all that around you and now I'm sure that Ilya just ran away.

Yes, he ran away. I would too, because it's unbearable.

Unbearable to watch your mother devolve.

- I'm devolving? - What have you achieved? What?

Your sister has a profession. She's independent.

And you arrange appetizers.

You've always been jealous of me, dear mom!

Because I'm younger and you can't stand getting old.

And another thing you can't stand

is that I have one thing you could never have!

I have a family. A great family! A happy family!

I'm sick of hearing about your happy family.

I'm the reason your happy family exists.

I worked my ass off for you idiots!

I cleaned floors, carried clothes from China.

Bought a flat that your husband sold.

- Would you get married otherwise? - Stop it.

Let's just eat dinner.

Potap, tell me.

What kind of women do you prefer?

I'll throw you out, you understand?

Okay, Anya. Give it to me.

You're misbehaving.

Mother is misbehaving.

I know. But we're talking about you.

Why is she sitting here, if she's bad?

Why isn't she punished?

She can keep doing whatever she wants, right?

- Anya, let's go to sleep. - What else? You go to sleep.

You know what?

I used to have a friend,

I loved him so much.

He was so talented at cunnilingus, I orgasmed for the first time.

I thought we'd get married and be happy, that I couldn't live without him.

I even had a plan for the future.

And then we went to our dacha.

And there were a lot of mosquitoes.

And then she arrived.

She brought wine and got drunk in the veranda.

And then she ran out of wine.

So she asked my friend to go to a restaurant with her.

I asked him, I told him not to go.

But he did.

You know how long he was gone for?

Four whole hours, can you imagine that, Potap?

He came back drunk, lied down.

I took his pants off.

And you know what I saw?

He was covered in mosquito bites.

Do you know what that means?

That he took off his pants, right?

I don't know.

Okay, let's go to sleep.

Let's go. Hold up.

- Can you help me undress her? - I don't think so.

I didn't think what you thought. I asked if you could help me.

The best help for her is to convince her to go to a clinic that can cure neurosis.

Give it to me.

Hello.

Hi Sasha.

Does your mom know that you called me?

No, she's in Spain right now.

But she'd never tell you anyway.

Tell me what?

She doesn't know about Lida. She has nothing to say.

What Lida?

The one without an ear. There are no other Lidas.

Sasha, what are you doing?

Can you see the state I'm in? Why didn't you tell me before?

Now you must tell me everything. Everything you know.

- Do you understand? - Of course.

But I need money.

What money do you need?

You see, she kicked dad out and she's not working.

He'll get a new woman soon.

A young one, if he hasn't already.

She'll give birth and he'll stop giving me money.

- How much do you want? - 10 thousand euro.

Are you crazy? What 10 thousand euro?

I want to leave this place and I have to rent a flat.

But a flat doesn't cost 10 thousand euro.

I want the one Ilya rented,

expensive, stylish, with window walls.
