THE GARDEN RING

It's absurd. It's absurd to think that someone wanted to steal it.

Only Ilya knew where I kept it.

And if we assume that someone did break into my bedroom to steal something,

why did they take only this chain with a skull?

Why didn't they take anything else?

We got the coroner's report about the death of Lida Bruskova.

Death was caused by a blow to the back of her head,

which coincides with her injuries.

They also found additional injuries.

In particular, her tooth was knocked out, here on the left.

But we can't tell if these injuries were inflicted before or after death.

Do you know when she was killed?

By out estimates, around 15 days ago.

What? What did you say?

I said that she was killed...

That's not what I meant. I want you to dig up everything there! Everything!

- Why, Vera Mikhailovna? - Why?

What if he's hiding there? He must be somewhere close if he came to our house.

Vera Mikhailovna, right know we have no evidence to suggest that he...

You never have any evidence. Do you understand that my son is in danger?

- Someone tried to kill them! - Who could it be, Vera Mikhailovna?

- You gave no right to talk this way to me. - You!

You have no right to tell me how to talk. Until today I was investigating your son

who ran away with a chick. And today I'm investigating a murder!

So you're accusing my son of murder?

Not me.

Your former house maid, Larisa Alexandrovna Sharova.

How are you, honey?

- Don't touch me. - Mom, are you here?

- Mom! - She's not well, she has a migraine.

- Mom! - What's wrong with your face?

It doesn't matter.

I need a lump of sugar with a drop of cognac.

- Do you have lumps of sugar? - I don't know.

- What if you don't? - Then go to the store and buy it.

Right.

Mom.

I gave him a blowjob.

And he liked it.

Come on, stop.

He was so tender. So careful.

Oh God, I think he loves me.

And when you went to bed...

And then he asked, "How are you today?" He meant that

the last time it was different...

He needs to be the initiator of sex and relationship.

You came onto him, dragged him into bed. You took away his game, his prize.

Where's the fun in hunting prey that wants to be caught.

- I understand. Then I... - You should be quieter with him.

Blowjobs are good, but don't overdo it.

Two times a week, no more.

- Then he kissed me. - With tongue?

No, without it. And he said that when it's all over he wants us to go somewhere.

To an island or a resort.

God, I forgot, I came here to shower.

He was asked to come to the police, I said I'd go with him.

Great. Give me a cigarette.

How did you get to his place?

- Me? - Stop fooling around.

I don't want to say it, you'll be mad.

Why will I get mad?

Because...

I swear I won't get mad.

I told him that Andrey was going to rape me.

I wanted to show him that I needed his protection.

- Are you mad? - No.

You did the right thing.

- Really? - Darling, you should think about yourself.

After Ilya robbed his own father, fooled me,

after what his parents have done.

How can you still want to be on their side?

You should think about yourself.

I bought it.

I feel better. But don't worry, it'll come in handy.

Do you love him?

Me?

What an amazing answer.

The key to a healthy relationship.

I'm glad Vera's not here and we can tell it like it is.

I hope we all understand that the best thing we can do for Ilya

is to stop searching for him.

- Why? - Because if we find him,

he'll go to prison.

- For what? - For murder of his lover, my dear.

Bring me a cigarette.

- Fine, where are they? - Upstairs.

You think that...

Don't you think so?

I thought, but...

Think about the place.

She was buried at your dacha. It's no what murderers do.

But it's what a scared child would do.

But Vera...

Vera is more dangerous that this situation with Ilya.

Understandable, she's a fragile person.

She can't believe that her child, the person she raised, is a killer.

She lives in her fantasies, let's call it that.

Vera claims that Ilya's chain went missing.

The best case scenario is that it got lost in the house.

Since your maid is gone, the house turned into a mess.

And the worst case scenario...

At worst,

I wouldn't be surprised if Vera hid it herself

To reinforce her own assurance in her fantasies.

Okay, what do we do then?

Call a psychiatrist. Call Boris.

Get her committed to an asylum where she'll be sedated. She'll get better.

So you claim that the last time you were at the house in Nikulshino village...

- I remember the address. - On the 28th of April with Anna.

Yes.

As I take it, the house used to belong to Andrey Smolin.

Care to tell me how you got the ownership of the house?

I told you everything, you have a protocol.

- So you refuse to answer the question? - No, I don't.

Are you interrogating me?

Do you really think I killed that miserable chick?

I've never seen her. And you think I'd bury her on my land?

Artem Leonidovich, we're just talking.

There's no need for aggression.

You think the police can't suspect a person who had a corpse buried on their land?

Anna Mikhailovna, you'll be invited.

Andrey. Andrey Petrovich.

He owed me a lot of money.

- How much? - 100 millions.

And to pay it off

he gave me the deed to his house and that land.

I've been there twice. The first time Andrey took me there, he gave me the key.

And showed me around. The second time was with Anya.

What did you do at the house with Anna Mikhailovna?

Nothing. We came there and we left.

For what reason did you go there?

I got you.

Me and Anna Mikhailovna

came to the house that used to belong to Andrey Petrovich

in order to engage in sexual relations. Will that do?

Anna Mikhailovna, is it urgent?

I wanted to tell you how someone broke into the townhouse.

Ar you thirsty? We can stop by somewhere.

To drink coffee or water, whatever you want.

- I don't care. - Why?

- Because I'm shocked by your attitude. - My attitude?

Exactly. You're acting like a lifeless meek man.

You didn't even hire a lawyer.

Did you have to do it? That dacha and their flat.

Not really, but...

- I wanted to get my money back. - And did you?

Partially.

Great. Then why is Vera still living in your flat?

I... We should avoid

conflicts and not be hostile.

We should remain humane and...

Humane?

God, I can't.

You think they deserve it?

That little asshole who hacked into my computer.

And that child molester Andrey. You think they're human?

They're all laughing at you, Artem.

Especially that snake Vera.

They'll never be brought to justice, don't you understand?

She doesn't care what her son did, what her husband did.

Don't you understand that now you'll have to go to interrogations,

while she's drinking coffee in your flat?

Anya,

may I ask you something?

- Yes, please. - Why are you saying all that?

Do you want to take revenge against your sister and Andrey?

I'm saying all that because I love you.

And I want to be with you.

Not with them.

Do you like this place?

- It's spacey. - And the district is nice.

One the one hand, it's in the center, on the other, this district is green.

- Why did we come here? - I want to introduce you to someone.

Fillip.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Hello. - This is Anna.

- Nice to meet you. - You too.

From now on, all the matters connected to renovations you'll discuss with her.

She is very experienced and has comprehensive knowledge.

You know, the project is almost done. Now we just need to deal with the bedroom.

- I suggest... - No.

Don't suggest anything. I want the bedroom to remain the same.

Comprehensive knowledge of the matter.

- Do you understand how important it is? - I understand.

Ilya can come there at any moment. Today or tomorrow.

He didn't have the right, you understand?

To change the locks in our apartment!

Vera, we have nothing to do with it.

It's the result of your husband's business deal.

Artem can do whatever he wants there.

What can we do to help?

How can you help? Anya's sleeping with him.

Let her call him and explain the situation. Tell him that I need to get inside.

Yes.

Artem, hi. How are you?

Great. Listen, can you help me?

Vera needs to get into the flat today.

Can you give her the keys?

Thank you, that's great. Bye.

- He'll be waiting for you there with keys. - I have to go now.

Damn. Mom, can you give me 500 rubles?

- I'll take a taxi. - Of course, one moment.

- Hi. - Hi.

Mom, no need for money, Andrey will take Vera there.

Thanks.

Rita.

Haven't you noticed?

- What? - My new trousers.

We must do something. Do you understand that?

I understand that you need to calm down. Vera, you're not feeling well.

It's not a coincidence that Lida was found there.

- And this damn Anya! - What does she have to do with it?

It's her fault! It's all your fault! Ilya and Artem texted each other.

Have you thought about why he did it?

Why are you talking to me like that?

I'm doing my best to talk to you like a normal person.

But you refuse to notice obvious things!

Andrey, he was in love. Do you understand that?

He didn't know what he was doing.

That's not what you said when you thought he was behind the attack on you.

Are you saying that you won't look for him anymore?

I'm saying that you're a sick an selfish psycho.

And you brought up a crazy son.

Do you understand that he made us bankrupt?

How can you not realize that?

So you think I've gone crazy?

The entire family thinks so.

Stop the car.

Vera, don't be ridiculous. Stop it.

It's time for you to understand

that he is probably the one who killed her.

What?

He needed money to run away with her.

Something went wrong and they didn't run away so he killed her.

It's clear, it's as clear as day.

No one but him was a part of that plan. He's the only one who could do it.

Where are we going?

Home.

- That's not the way. - There's a lot of traffic.

- What are you doing? - Let me go.

I won't let you go anywhere.

Vera!

Where could she go?

- I don't know. - Any close friends?

- She was friends with Katya. - Okay, who else?

I don't know, I think that's all. Right?

She had patients, didn't she? Do you know any names or numbers?

Patients.

I don't know anything about that.

History repeats itself, don't it?

When your son went missing, you couldn't say who he was friends with.

Or where he could go.

Vera... I didn't expect to see you.

Can I sit down?

Of course, sit down.

How are you holding up?

I have no energy for small talk,

I have a favor to ask.

- Of course, I'll do what I can. - Thanks. I need a room.

- What? - My husband sold our flat, I need a place.

I'm asking you to find a room for me.

Oh God.

What is going on?

Can you give me a room? I'm very tired.

Let's go.

Here.

This one

is the best.

Thank you.

The bathroom is on the right down the hall.

Breakfast is at nine, lunch at two, dinner...

is about to end, but if you ask, they'll feed you.

- Thanks. - And...

Lock the door. Even when you go to the bathroom. It's crowded in here.

I got it.

People don't know what they need. Or what they want.

They think that everything depends on them.

That what happens to them is the result of their choices.

And that this result is right.

- Their opinion has grounds. - Complete nonsense.

The only thing we have in life is a habit.

And it makes us justify ourselves. Justify everything.

Actually, it doesn't matter how much money you have,

where you live, how old you are, if you're pretty or not.

And being used to riches is the only thing

that makes a person miserable if they lose their money.

A lot of people think that there's a big difference

between being poor and being rich.

- Why is there no difference? - Because life is horrible.

It doesn't matter how you spend it.

- And it caused a deterioration. - I got it. Did you do anything?

- General therapy. - Go ahead, I'll catch up.

- Hi. - Hi.

- Do you know that... - Andrey wants to get me committed? Yes.

Aren't you afraid that I could call him?

Do you think I'm crazy?

Where did you come from?

Doesn't matter.

What can I do for you?

Feed me.

Okay, let's go.

Vera, I'm angry at myself for dragging you into it.

Wait.

I listen to your recordings.

She was schizophrenic. F20.

She was...

God, I don't even know how...

- I'm a doctor and I don't know how... - That's not what I want to know.

- Then what? - Did her husband send her to your clinic?

Yes.

Why?

Because she hit him with a knife.

- Do you have cigarettes? - Yes, of course.

- Here, take it. - Thanks, can I take the whole pack?

Sure.

Did you discuss the reason why she was committed to your clinic?

- Of course we did. - It wasn't on the recording.

Vera, I...

Jungian analysis consists of reliving events to lead the patient to their trauma.

Are you trying to lecture me on analysis?

And to let the patient realize that their trauma is the main source.

I'm aware of that, Vera.

Of all the horrible events that the patient can't find an explanation to.

And all worries that this patient isn't aware of.

What do you mean by that? What?

You think I didn't treat her?

And the crisis that bring the patient to psychoanalysts.

Are you done? Good. Vera, I'm a practicing psychiatrist,

and you analyze lives of overweight women.

Do you think we're equal? That I must report my findings to you?

We got the same education.

Yes, but afterwards you analyzed the influence of wallpaper on family life.

- According to Feng Shui. - Maybe, but I understand

that her attacking her husband is a result, not a reason.

Then what is the reason?

Vera.

You're trying to find something that doesn't exist.

You see, you believe that there's a reason, something you can dig up.

But it doesn't exist. At all.

She was just crazy. About sex.

And her husband couldn't take it any longer.

Give me the recording.

I gave you all I had.

You know what I'm talking about.

The taste of meat is enhanced by mashed potatoes with pumpkin.

With the scent of rosemary and lemon.

For you I can offer rib-eye, le dama filet-mignon.

- Great, we'll take it. - Doneness?

Well-done will do.

I repeat that our meat is very even.

It's very tender. As I said, it's low in fat.

I wouldn't like your rib-eye to be dry, that's why

I recommend medium rare.

Go ahead. You convinced us.

- The same for the lady? - Yes. And red wine.

- We have a 3 year old red Valpolicella. - That's wonderful.

- Thanks. - For what?

That you didn't let him tell us about the advantages of Valpolicella.

- I want to make one thing clear. - What thing?

I might seem to you like an accountant, sorting things out and all.

I know that feelings are difficult to sort out.

But I need to know.

I don't get it.

Are we together?

- Yes. - With all the responsibility?

With a future?

- Yes. - And you want that?

And your decision isn't spontaneous?

Of course.

That's what I wanted to hear.

Thank you.

Amazing.

No, the lady doesn't drink.

She doesn't understand your Valpolicella.

So... To us?

To us.

Are you upset?

No, of course not, I'm just happy.

No, you're upset. What's wrong?

Are you kidding me? Or actually don't understand?

No.

I drank water all evening.

You didn't even ask me if I wanted that bloody meat. I hate it.

Because of you I had to dig into those bloody meat parts.

My mashed potatoes were covered in blood.

Sorry, I wanted it to be soft.

I'll ask them next time.

And maybe you'll pour me some wine?

No.

Anya, we both know that you have problems with alcohol.

Several times you came to our dates absolutely wasted.

- Wasted? - Yes, wasted.

Your relatives closed their eyes on that or didn't care, I don't want to know.

But now we're together.

It's logical for a man to not want his woman to be completely wasted.

Don't you think so?

And you'll quit smoking. It's disgusting and it damages your health.

- You'll quit, right? - Yes.

- Yes. - Great.

- Where are you going now? - To the gym.

- How long will you be there? - About an hour and a half.

- Then I need to get my hair done. - Want me to drive you?

No, thanks. Don't worry.

- Bye. - Bye.

You said you'll quit smoking.

You think I'll hit you? The lifting gate was closed there.

I came back to turn around and drive through there. And what do I see?

You're smoking! What does it mean? Are you not responsible for yourself?

Why didn't you keep your promise?

Don't you care about me and my wishes? You say one thing and do the other.

- How long are you going to do that? - I do care about you.

You just proved the opposite.

Honey, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I'll never do that again.

I'll buy you a nicotine patch.

Thank you.

I see depreciation for other people's feelings.

- Really? Whose feelings? - My, for example.

Don't I love you? Don't I deserve you tending to my emotional needs?

- Being more attentive? - No.

- Why? - You've never felt anything towards me.

- Lida, how can you... - I can, that's why I said it.

All you do is for your own pleasure.

You stroke your own deflated ego.

You used me to feel like a cool strong man even for a little while.

Who likes it rough, sleeps with a beautiful woman and feels no guilt.

But you did feel guilt. Because you are who you are.

A talentless doctor, who's married to a fat hag,

who keeps your balls in one hand and your downtown flat in the other.

And you're afraid to get a divorce, because you'll lose the flat on the Garden Ring.

If that's what you think about me, then why did you date me?

Why can't you understand?

Suffering doesn't end, simply because the source is eliminated.

Why can't you understand?

Suffering doesn't end, simply because the source is eliminated.

Hello, Vera Mikhailovna.

Hi. Can we talk for a few minutes?

Angela, this is my psychoanalysis, Vera Mikhailovna.

- Hello. - If it wasn't for her, I'd be lost.

Can you check if it's there?

- No, it's better. - I was afraid it'd leave a scar.

- You remember how he beat me up. - Yes, it was horrible.

But now it's all fine. Angela, you can go and wash it off.

May I?

Remember, when I brought you medicine,

you said one phrase.

No.

Lera, it's very important.

If I repeat this phrase to you

will you remember who you heard it from?

Well... Yes.

I don't know. Maybe.

You said

that suffering doesn't stop

even if the source of it is eliminated.

- Who said that? - Did I say that?

I must have had a fever.

It was a guy. I met him here.

A guy? Here? What was he doing here?

He wanted to check one room, but he couldn't get in and he asked me.

And what was in that room?

A girl lived there, I take it they were dating.

He said she robbed him, maybe she hid it in the room.

Can you introduce me to that young man?

Yes. Yes.

It's good.

- Hi. -Where are you going?

- The 27th room. - Visitation hours are over.

Please.

- Take it. - I can't even buy cigarettes with it.

Hello, Ilya.

Hello, open the door, please.

- Open the door, my wife is here. - I'll call the police.

- Get out of here. - My wife's here, open the door.

Of course she's here. Get out of here.

Idiot, my wife is here and she has a breakdown, I'm not an abusive husband.

Open the door!

Please, I'm worried. Open the door.

Open the door. My wife, Vera Smolina, is here.

Shut off the engine?

No, wait.

Do you have cigarettes?

- I do. - Are you looking for Vera?

The new girl?

- I think so. - A tall slim woman?

With an expensive watch.

Yes, can you call her here?

Your chick isn't here.

She left with Lera late at night.

Listen, wait, please.

It's important. She's in an unstable mental state.

Our family is going through something right now. Can you tell me where she went?

Okay. They went to a dormitory near Ismailovo.

He's about to leave. Follow him at a distance.

Mom.

- Oh God, what have you done? - How did you find me?

- Ilya... - Why did you bring her here?

Idiot, you ruined it!

- You're a fool! - I didn't know.

- What will happen now? - Stop it.

No, Ilya, no!

Calm down, calm down.

It's okay, my baby, it's fine.

No, mom.

Nothing is fine, they'll find me now.

No one will touch you.

No, mom, you don't know anything.

I know everything. Lida is gone, she's dead.

You have nothing to fear.

How do you know?

She was found.

Really? She was found?

My baby.

Mom, take a chair.

Where do you get money?

I sold some stuff. Mine.

Lera helped me out.

Now you'll tell me everything.

- Who is it? - I don't know.

- You lied to me. - No.

Vera, open the door.

Andrey, I found him.

- Andrey, don't. - Leave me!

- Why did you do it? - Don't touch him!

Get away from me, Vera.

Why did you bankrupt me and your mom?

- Why did you do that? - Mom? Now you're sorry for mom?

Then why did you cheat on her?

- Who is she? - My former patient, Lera.

- What is she doing here? - She helped Ilya.

Get up. We're leaving, pack your things.

Andrey Petrovich, don't worry. We'll take his things.

He broke down the door, thank God you were close.

- It's good you were here. - Smolin Ilya Andreevich.

- Who is it? - You're arrested on suspicion of homicide

of your girlfriend Lidia Bruskova, born in 1981.

- Mom! - Enaction 105 part 2 of the Criminal Code.

- Mom! - What are you doing?

- Vera Mikhailovna, don't tempt me. - Why aren't you doing anything?

Do something!

He robbed me and set me up.

He's your son.

And I'm his father. Why do I have to remember that?

While he can do what he wants?

Is it better if he goes to prison for 20 years?

And then get me committed too.

Until the end of my life.

It didn't work out. It didn't.

And everyone will pity you.

That your wife is insane and she gave you a bad child.

And you're a poor guy, who did everything he could.

And everyone around you is just insane.

I'm taking you to your mother right now.

I won't stay there.

I didn't ask your opinion. I said I'll take you there.

I'll walk back to the shelter.

What do you mean she left? How could she leave?

She said she didn't want to be here with you. What was I supposed to do?

- For God's sake, you're a man! - So what?

What could I do to stop her? Beat her up, tie her up?

She's a grown woman and we're nobody to each other now.

So she left to some shelter,

Ilya was taken to jail,

and you just came here? Right?

She's crazy, I'm not.

- What are we going to do? - Stop screaming.

We'll go to the police in the morning.

We go there every day, but it never helps anything!

Listen, do you think it's my fault?

Is it my fault that all this is happening?

A person can't live like this!

In this state! With corpses! Without a house!

I envy her. At least she's gone crazy, I can't even do that.

To hell! To hell! Go to hell, all of you!

Where are you going?

To buy some beer.

"Real" and "Barcelona" are playing soon.

Rita.

What?

I think I'm going crazy.

Darling, stop it. I feel bad as it is.

No, Rita. I'm actually going crazy.

Baby, come here.

Come here, darling. Come here.

We'll talk about it, okay?

We will. But later.

Okay.
