THE GARDEN RING

How bad is it?

It's hell.

Why are you talking to me this way? I don't get it.

Is it my fault that Vera is now in this horrible place?

No, of course not.

But maybe you could better her lot and get her transferred to a nicer place.

- Really? I should have done that? - Who else? Me?

Why not me? You've been working a lot. You must have money.

I must have money?

What money? I spent everything I earned. I don't have anything.

A flat, a car and two fur coats at best. I don't even have decent diamonds.

- Are you being serious? - Yes.

So you don't have a bank account or any savings.

Why, I bought a small jade frog statue

and I've been putting loose cash under it.

Because if I read the right spell,

it will soon attract millions. That's right.

Stop here.

Baby, go get me an American with caramel, if you can.

Please. Hurry up.

SELFIE

You can come in. She got lucky, the injuries are mild.

Thanks to the safety bag.

I've been through it already.

I was so scared, I thought you died.

I didn't die.

My ribs are cracked and I have a concussion.

Listen.

What happened to my car?

Did they tell you what happened to it?

I don't know, I didn't ask.

Find out, please. I left my fitness suit there and that...

An entire bottle of Jo Malone perfume.

Remember that anise scent?

That sweet smell, kind of like cocoa.

What are you talking about?

Do you think I should just leave it there?

That perfume costs 150 euro.

For 100 milliliters.

No.

I can't take it any longer.

It can't be like this.

Don't you understand that it happened because of me?

I slept with your husband and you know it. I want you to talk to me about it.

Do you hear me? Tell me what you think, tell me you hate me.

I did it in your house, on your bed. Say something!

Why are you screaming? Are you drunk?

Or stoned?

I love you more than anyone, I'll do anything for you to forgive me.

I'll never forgive you.

Where's mom?

Mom

is waiting at the reception.

You know that she hates hospitals.

I don't care.

Where are you going? You can't. You have to rest.

- You don't understand what to do? - What?

Jo Malone.

I'll do everything. I'll bring it to you.

Just stay here. You can't go anywhere.

I have to do something.

Bring me the perfume.

- How is she? - What? She's fine.

She has a concussion and bruises.

Did you talk to her?

Yes.

So you've made up?

Cute little sisters are still friends despite the horrible pervert's efforts.

And now you both blame me.

Don't you remember how I told you that we should stop?

Didn't I tell you to go and get married and have children?

Have you forgotten the Cartier watch I gave you so you'd leave me alone?

The one you threw in my face. Don't you remember?

You found use for it. Re-gifted it to Vera.

- So you remember? - I know what I did was wrong.

- How cute. - What happened...

It shouldn't have happened.

You should write a book.

It took me 20 years to understand

that sleeping with my sister's husband is wrong.

This revelation changed my life. It'll sell well in America.

Your mom will help.

- I'll think about your advice. - What room is she in?

She left.

- What? Where? - I don't know, she got dressed and left.

Excuse me.

- Where can I find the dean? - She's there.

- Did you want something? - I need to talk to the dean.

For what reason?

I'm Ilya Smolin's mother.

He's a capable boy, you can ask anybody.

But this is not high school. I don't call parents.

At this age they can decide for themselves if they want to study or not.

- So he just stopped coming to classes? - Yes.

I see.

Why would you care?

You got the money. Right?

Do you know how many people study here?

I didn't invent fee-based education. And I don't take any money for myself.

Do you know how many students simply don't want to study?

They're all heroes, after all.

Heroes?

Why did you say that?

Haven't you heard?

Ilya saved a girl from a rapist nearby. It even made headline news.

- When? - In winter.

Did she file a report?

I don't know, but the police were here.

- Vera Mikhailovna, are you okay? - Why?

You look a bit tired.

- I was in an accident, it doesn't matter. - Whatever you say.

Today I found out that my son saved a girl from a rapist.

Do you know who she was?

That Lida that came to my session. Borya's lover.

The one who attacked her husband with a knife.

She was seen with Ilya at the station, where she hit her head against a wall.

Wonderful coincidences, don't you think?

I've done your job for you and now you can't say that I imagined Lida.

She exists and she's connected to Ilya's disappearance.

And you simply must find her.

If you don't find her, I'll turn your life into hell.

Just like my life turned into hell. I'll come here every day.

I'll sleep at your door. I'll write reports to your boss.

Trust me, I have a lot of free time now and I'm ready to dedicate it to you.

- Listen. - Wait!

- I advise you to go home and relax. - I don't care what you advise.

Find her.

- I need to examine a car. - The evacuated one?

No. The accident.

There it is.

- Where are the keys? I need to open it. - It's open.

- Did you take a perfume bottle from here? - I didn't look in there.

But it was here before. It means someone took it.

Why would I need perfume?

It was expensive. 150 euro for 100 milliliters. Where is it?

You're a fool. 150 euro? This car costs 50 thousand.

Andrey Petrovich.

- Why the hell are you here? - I'm taking my things.

Actually, I can ask you the same question.

Don't you dare talk to me like that.

Peasant.

You think I don't know what you've been doing here these years?

You were hired to clean the floor and cook food

and you gossiped, got involved in our lives just to ruin them.

This smile of yours.

I know this smile.

Instead of working you ate here, drank with us and took gifts from Vera.

But you want more, don't you?

What did you think, Andrey Petrovich?

What did you expect?

That if I'm a maid, I'm not smart enough to put two and two together.

To figure out what your so-called life is all about?

Did you think you were the smartest because you were rich?

And the rest should just shut up?

Have I ever reproached you?

Have I ever thrown money into your face?

Have I ever put you in your place? You were our family member.

No, Andrey Petrovich. All these seven years I cleaned up the mess you started here.

I just realized...

It was you who smeared lipstick on my shirts.

Did you try to start a scandal?

Leave.

I'm smarter than you.

Because I know everything about you.

- And you know nothing about me. - Get the hell out.

What? What are you doing?

Where?

Where are you taking him?

Do you need help with the bags?

- Since you're a disabled person. - What are you doing?

- It's illegal. - It is quite legal.

On what grounds did you take him away? Why?

There is new evidence in the case. I have questions for your son.

Turns out Vera Smolina wasn't the only one he attacked with a sharp razor.

Maybe I should help?

Here, read it.

I'm not interested.

Fine, then I'll retell it to you.

Half a year ago

at a construction site some psycho saw a girl who was coming home from work.

Lucky for her, a student named Smolin was walking nearby. The attacker fled.

So what?

A few months after Smolin's mother was attacked the same way.

Also with a sharp razor.

- After that Smolin himself disappeared. - So?

Your stupid face will go to prison for first degree murder.

And not for robbery, which Vera Smolina kindly helped you with.

I'll prove that you went back there and you were stalking Smolin.

That you found out where he lived, threatened him and his relatives.

It didn't happen.

- Then what happened? - I didn't touch her.

I didn't attack her, believe me.

- Hello, gentleman. - Hi.

- What do you want? - I'm Anna's friend.

I'm her mother.

I called her, she didn't pick up. I thought something happened.

Something happened. Come in.

Poor Vera. Her karma is just awful.

At first that thing with her father.

You can't imagine what it was like.

She was only four.

She was delirious.

Calm down, it's in the past.

He threw my girl out of the window.

Baby, bring me the green napkins from the bathroom.

- All of them? - All of them.

She...

She woke up all broken.

It's hard to think about.

And she asked,

"Where's dad?"

Can you just tell Anya that I stopped by?

Poor Vera.

She got into an accident on the Garden Ring.

The car is completely totaled.

Her idiot husband is bankrupt, he sold their townhouse.

My girl is in a municipal hospital with old hags. Just like back then.

Hello.

Hello.

- I called you, but... - My phone died.

I haven't slept all night. I went to the hospital.

Oh my God, if only you saw this place. There's dirt everywhere.

- There's an awful old woman with Vera. - Anya, calm down.

Vera asked me to get her perfume from her car.

I have no idea how I can go there, I can't look at this car.

What hospital is your daughter in?

She left the hospital.

In a state of shock. I always said that this Smolin will ruin her life.

And our lives too.

- Goodbye. - Goodbye.

Who's this man? Looks decent. Is he a foreigner?

He's the guy who took over Andrey's business.

- He came here from Germany two years ago. - Really?

- That's nice. Is he married? - I don't think so.

- Are you sure? - He doesn't have a ring.

He doesn't act like a married man.

And besides, why would he hide the fact that he's married?

I hope you haven't slept with him.

Why does it matter to you?

It matter to all of us.

Your wife is in a hospital with broken bones and you're drinking?

It's not good.

She doesn't want to see me.

Is it because of that 17 year old girl?

- How do you know? - From Anya.

It's not because of that girl, it's because of Anya.

- How? - It's simple.

We dated. Vera found out.

It's a common story.

You're a jerk. Why did you do it?

Listen, don't teach me.

Everyone has such high moral standards, you're all so stable.

How did it happen?

Let's see what you do if you have to look at a young girl every day.

- That's not what I meant. - What?

It's barbaric.

It's a nasty thing to do to your wife, your family. And to Anna.

If you took responsibility for these damn women

then stay with them.

You're destroying them physically and financially.

Listen, I got you. Thank you so much for coming and telling me that I'm bad.

It's not why I'm here.

- You have to pay off your debt. - My debt?

I gave you my business, my house...

- You said you'd give me more time. - And where are you going to get money?

- Do you see my situation? - I do. I think it'll get worse.

That's why I want my money.

I have my life, my projects, I want to move on.

I don't have the money right now.

You have this flat.

It won't cover everything, but I'll forgive you these 100 thousands.

I promise.

Hi.

What are you doing here?

Larisa came to you and I...

That's not what I'm asking.

What are you doing in my house?

That's what I wanted to talk about. The house.

I don't know how to tell you this.

But you have to move out. I paid off my debt with the flat.

We can't live here.

I know that it is a failure.

But we have no other choice.

I have no other choice.

Vera, I see everything clearly now.

Everything.

I don't want to make excuses or lie anymore.

I'm a total jerk.

I destroyed your life in every possible way.

I know that it can't be forgiven.

If there's anything I can do for you, I'll do it.

Fine.

Damn, I know that it

looks so silly to you.

I don't know why I say all that

I guess I'm making excuses.

Vera, I know that it's all my fault.

Do you think it's enough?

To say "I'm sorry" to the person you've been lying to all your life?

How can you not understand?

Why don't you understand that you didn't live with me?

Not with me. You built this illusion of a perfect marriage.

This god damn happiness.

You have no idea how hard it was to see you happy.

I felt real with her.

It was real. It was wrong and sometimes disgusting.

But it was a feeling.

It was a real feeling that I couldn't live without.

Do you understand?

It doesn't matter anymore.

Doesn't matter?

Is that all you can say?

You know, Andrey.

I've just realized.

That I have a goal in life.

I've just realized what I need to do.

And I realized

that under no circumstances

will I ever again

spend a second of my time

on you.

What is this life?

No peace at all.

Now I have to live with a schizophrenic

with a dis-inhibited sexual sphere

and the Snow White Syndrome.

Let's stay with Anya.

Potap, come on, hurry up.

Why are you walking around? Get ready.

No.

What do you mean?

Do you think they won't throw you out?

I don't doubt it.

I'll just be here.

Because Ilya can come home.

He has nowhere else to go.

Ilya...

Ilya won't come anywhere now.

Strange. Why did you take me here?

I brought you to a dacha.

- This is Vera's dacha. - No, Anya. This is my dacha.

Is something wrong?

No, everything's fine.

Last time we came here in winter and I left my scarf here.

- You don't mind me taking it back? - Of course not.

It's just that if it's your dacha

and everything inside is yours.

So I'm asking. Just in case.

- And you? - I'll park the car in the garage.

- What are you doing? - Nothing.

Do you want me to catch you?

- You can't. - I can't?

Did you hear that?

Stay here.

Anya, it's a 10 minute walk to the station.

Buy a train ticket to Moscow and go back.

Are you kidding me? I'm wearing heels. I thought you'd drive me there.

I won't, I have to call the workers to change all the locks.

It's more important than your comfort. Sorry.

Why are you here?

Vera Mikhailovna, I'd like to discuss one newspaper article.

From a professional point of view.

- Sit down. - Thank you.

- Professional? - Vera Mikhailovna, imagine a situation.

A young boy from a wealthy family, who has everything his peers dream of.

And he does something heroic. Something he can be really proud of.

But for some reason, he does everything he can to hide this deed from everyone.

- Tea? - I'd like to.

You see, our psychic setup isn't homogeneous.

It has a subconscious fraction deep inside.

It stems from our childhood traumas.

It's the main part.

The external part, which is more mature,

is responsible only for communicating with the outside world.

Okay, but what does it have to do with our hero?

A person can't live up to expectations of others.

And he starts to think

that he's deceiving everyone.

They believe in him, but he's deceiving them.

And what does he do?

He tries to be as invisible as possible.

To get rid of that part of himself

which other people forced onto him.

To survive.

Vera Mikhailovna, do you need a break?

- No, I'm fine. Let's continue. - Great.

So, as I understand, out successful guy wants only one thing.

To be left alone, is that right?

- On the outside. - And on the inside?

On the inside he wants to open up.

To show who he really is.

Sometimes it is a demonstrative form of protest.

What does he expect when he opens up? What does he want?

Love, of course.

Love? A guy, who's loved and cared for and cuddled wants love?

Real life. Because others don't love him.

They love their own version of him.

That's what he thinks.

Thank you, Vera Mikhailovna.

You've helped me a lot.

You knew it, didn't you?

How could I not?

You know, I feel like I

woke up from a coma

and I'm collecting my life piece by piece.

- Help me. - With what?

Tell me more about my son.

I didn't know him at all.

What was he like? What did he like?

If I knew, I'd tell you.

But I don't know.

I think...

He saw it too.

And he didn't like it.

So he decided to leave.

So you think he decided to leave without telling me?

And never come home again?

When was he supposed to tell you?

What can anyone tell you?

I mean, he could tell you anything

but you wouldn't listen.

You imagined yourself your own world.

And you live in it, you're happy there.

Things that happen in the real world don't concern you.

Not true. I've always wanted to know more about my son's life.

Then why do you not know?

Why do you not know your husband?

Your mother or your sister?

Vera, understand one simple thing.

You haven't woken up.

You invented some people.

And you live with them happily.

There's only one problem.

These people that you invented do not exist.

Thank you, Larisa.

You've helped me a lot.

Thank you too.

For everything.

I just wanted to say that

I know that your flat is sold to pay off debts.

That's right.

You can move in with me if you want.

I found this flash drive in Ilya's room.

For some reason they didn't find it during the search.

This little witch knew Lida.

- Why did he hide these photos? Why? - I know him!

- Who? - His name's Nodar.

- Are you sure? - Yes, we've acquainted.

- Did you want me to forgive you? - Yes.

Then stop lying.

You won't like it what I'm about to say.

You're a stupid, hysterical and filthy skunk.

I've always known that.

And the only reason I'm talking to you

is because I want to find my son.

And you'll tell me everything.

It's a good clinic. It's modern.

They have a lot of rehabilitation programs.

- Group therapy and so on. - This is great.

And at the university

we can ask for a gap year, it's not a problem.

Yes, of course.

Are you being serious?

What exactly?

You're planning to send me to a mental hospital?

- Did you expect anything else? - Katya, give me a napkin, please.

Well, you know, it's not a mental hospital.

It's a modern rehabilitation center.

You can pack your things.

I'll pour you some?

- I hate you! - Sasha!

- You're awful! I'm not going anywhere! - Calm down!

- Look at me! - Let me go!

- Calm down! - No, let go!

- Don't get up! - Old bastard!

I wish you were dead!

- Are you okay? - You'll sleep with Lida while I'm away?

You know everything, don't you?

Cretin.

Everyone knows everything around here.

Sasha.

Sasha.

We love you a lot. Really. Both me and your mom.

I love you too.

But your mom...

you see, she can't handle your behavior.

I see.

You just need to change your surroundings.

It's really important to

leave everything you experienced here behind.

I'm saying this as a licensed psychiatrist.

You'll be all right. It'll be fine.

But Sasha, you must want it yourself.

Do you understand?

I do.

I'll want it.

- Did she have any money with her? - No, I took it. Here's her wallet.

- Maybe she's walking the dog. - I can't make her walk for five minutes.

- She's been gone for an hour and a half. - Calm down, she's probably thinking.

I'll call her.

My phone's gone. It's gone, you hear me?

- Did you keep it there? - I never took it out of my bag!

- It's gone! - Maybe it's at home.

- She stole it! - Can you step aside?

- She stole it! - Don't scream here!

- Go to hell! - Boors.

- Sorry. - Go back to your towns.

Hello.

Yes, hi.

I can't right now, Sasha's missing.

What? What is there?

Katya, look at me.

Katya, go home.

Stay at home. I'll be right back. Okay?
