Original subtitles

We're investigating captain Zelenov.

He was following a witness, who was killed in front of captain's eyes.

Captain himself is alive and well.

- Get out of the vehicle. - Calm down, I'm a police officer.

He says they pulled up, fired some shots in the air,

killed the witness and left the scene.

Who's the wife?

She was married to the gang leader.

Racketeering, contract killings.

Zelenov put him in jail and took his wife.

Were it your people who attacked my wife yesterday?

- What's wrong with you, I'm a deputy. - Yeah, a deputy and a criminal.

- You brought the things? - What things?

Your wive's. Or, rather, your mistresses', Alexandra Kolesnikova.

She is under witness protection.

So you are saying that mister Antonov

or his firm is in possession of a very tasty candy?

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

Mister Antonov sunk all his money into buying 45 hectares of land near Klin.

- What's the secret? - Federal highway.

Exactly! 1,5 km of the highway will cut through his land.

They left Mitya in the dust. All he got from them was "thank you".

People's representative was very offended.

The government commission adopted an amended version of the federal highway

construction project at its third reading. The highway will bypass Antonov's land.

Captain Zelenov was transferred to the Internal Security Department.

The Department

Working with Zhenya Zhuzhukalo was neat actually.

He just plays dumb but he got a quick mind. And he's never nervous.

It was fun drinking with him too.

Misha, are you trying to give me instructions on how to treat you?

Yeah... Well, no.

I mean it was really cool working with him.

Would be nice if we had the same working relations.

- Although... - Although what?

Ah, it's my wife, Lenochka...

She begs me to leave the job.

Not enough money?

They don't pay me enough, Lenya.

We're used to it though.

She is also fine with me not being at home for days.

What, then?

She cries a lot. She worries about me.

Last year I got out of the hospital. She's been crying ever since.

Alright, people, get ready.

Time to start fishing.

I see him.

Lenya, zoom in on our client.

Easy.

It's a set-up, plain and simple.

They should get the driver out of the car and smash his face against the concrete.

Alright, I get it.

We'll record them when the jeep returns.

What's happening?

What's with that car?

It was there when we got here.

Why are you standing here? Go!

Report back to me when you return.

Sergeant Kotelnik, 13th special traffic division.

What are you doing here?

Is there my share, guys?

No.

So, what's going on?

What's happening there?

Some bastards are splitting cash.

Should we search the car?

Nah, just keep working.

Yeah.

Stop littering the airwaves!

Can you keep your mouth shut? No?

You alright? Are you hurt?

Get back, Mishka! Into the car!

Careful!

There's equipment here.

Freeze!

Get everyone out of here!

- Calm down. - Get back!

Everyone, leave the square.

So, who violated the traffic rules?

He swerved into the wrong lane.

Second question. Why did you stop Opel instead of a jeep.

It was the sergeant who stopped the car.

But you are the ranking officer.

I didn't see him violating the law.

Then why did you take money from him?

What money? Where?

Look, you are telling him to get in the car.

Yeah, I did that.

We were just talking.

I told him to slow down a bit.

Where do you see any money, huh?

They told me to get in the car. I was able to avoid bribing them.

We just talked.

Yes, we just talked.

What did you give him while sitting there?

Can't remember.

Some sort of ID probably.

They scammed you out of money, yet you are defending them.

How much did you give them?

And you are better than me?

I didn't give them money and I have no complaints.

I also thought the jeep looked suspicious.

No idea what he was doing there.

- You don't know the driver? - I...

Sorry.

What is this sign you are giving him?

I wanted him to pull over, that's what it meant.

I wanted to check him and rough him up a bit.

I just got there. Your people saw it, man.

There was a crash, I was trying to call an ambulance and help them get out of the car.

I even saved the kid. Look, I cut my arm.

He is in the hospital suffering from asthma now.

- I didn't know anything about the set up. - You didn't know.

I didn't! I just got there!

Let's listen to the radio then. You like radio?

It'll be the police radio.

How's Loaf doing?

Found you some good bait, didn't I?

Shut up, Kotelnik.

He's trying to get his share. Don't forget to bring it to us, Kotelnik.

You don't understand... It's just...

Yeah, sounds just like me.

They like to do impressions of me in the battalion.

Overall though discipline and order are maintained.

I got certificates, I got letters of commendation.

But talking like that... on the air...

I've got 20 years on the force.

You know, when you treat your subordinates like

human beings, they... Not everyone, of course...

- Alright, you brought the personnel files? - Yes, sir.

Such an emergency... Terrible.

Your man died, too... We offer our condolences.

Give me the files.

Sasha.

Sasha.

What's wrong?

I was instructed to hide if anyone comes in.

- Sanya... It's alright. - I missed you so much.

At first I was thinking a lot.

About what?

Everything but you.

I told myself I would not think about you.

I remembered my wedding...

How I quit my job in the lab with a scandal. Money made me lose my mind, as they say.

The only thing I wasn't thinking about was you.

But a week ago I woke up and saw you. I really saw you.

I reached my hand out to touch you.

But you wasn't there.

Yes.

Hello, Yuri Konstantinovich.

This is lieutenant colonel Aldoshin speaking.

I was appointed to head the Internal Affairs Department. Can you talk?

How shall I put it...

Yuri Konstantinovich, I'd like to meet you in person.

- What for? - Will you be able to make it here in 30 minutes?

No, we really never met before.

Were we supposed to?

I saw your picture and your face looked familiar.

Please.

I've heard of you.

Wasn't transferring to ISD a hasty decision?

I'm not talking about today's incident. I'm aware of it though, my condolences.

I didn't know captain Shevchuck personally, but still...

Alright, so why was it a hasty decision?

You could've become a deputy for criminal matters, replacing lieutenant colonel Shapov.

You were guaranteed to become a major and advance further.

Bright prospects.

It's a vicious circle, mister lieutenant colonel, there are no bright prospects.

Well... Let's break this circle, then.

Oh, Anton Sergeevich.

Excuse me for a moment. I'm very busy, trying to catch up here.

- How do you like the new guy? - What do you need, old guy?

Just wanted to congratulate you on your recent transfer.

I'm genuinely happy for you.

You have my genuine thanks.

What's the matter, Zelenov?

I just want to help.

Turn the recorder off, Anton Sergeevich.

There is no recorder. What's wrong?

I'm just trying to help, really.

Here's a phone number. Call the guy.

Why?

You have to.

Heard about your tragedy, your man died...

He died protecting you.

We'll arrange the funeral and double his pension. We will help, don't worry.

You better help sergeant Barkov's family, mister deputy.

Or have you forgotten?

He protected me from your guys.

Oh, we helped them already. Yeah, we did.

His widow will get an apartment, she'll receive pension.

She already got the lump sum, you didn't know?

I'm a deputy, Zelenov, and a member of the Commission on Law and Order.

I don't need this kind of mess in my area.

You should meet the guy though. It'll be good for you.

Being friends with Mitya will get you 10 years in prison.

What do I risk?

I'll meet with his man, have a chat. If he tries to give me something...

Watch your pockets. Deputy Mitin got some guys - real acrobats.

They'll put a melon in your pocket without you noticing.

Don't forget to record everything! Someone should go with you to be safe.

I got suspended, I can't ask anyone.

Oh, right. Well, I can't do it, I have an event to attend.

What about Lenya?

Lenya Ivanov is coming with me.

I'll give you a gadget, stick it to your lapel.

From my private stockpile. It records sound and video.

Are you eating sushi with your hands?

I'm not a chinese, I'm a wolf.

They call me Five Copecks, but Misha will do.

Or, rather, Vova.

So are you Vova or Misha?

Mitya said you had a situation with 13th special division.

They are real bitches.

We used their highway to transport some stuff for 4 years.

Shaked hands with every last one of them like real pals.

Almost touched each other's... you know.

There are kids here, I don't want to curse in front of them.

- Used to be friends but that's in the past. - Was there an argument?

New workers came.

Some real bastards.

Imagine, someone comes to me and says, "Can you transport some explosives for us?"

"We'll make you rich". You know what I would say? Oh, there are kids here.

I'd say, "Who do you think I am, damn it?"

But these screwballs agreed, can you imagine that?

How did that work out? It's terrorism! You see?

Wait, I don't get it. You were smuggling contraband...

Not just any contraband.

Some contraband, I'm not asking for details yet.

Now others are doing that. Do traffic guys know about it?

They get their share.

Can you prove it?

Not yet.

These other guys were transporting explosives which, well, exploded.

Yeah, and one of your pigs died. I mean, one of your men.

Traffic cops used this car for a set up. Where is the logic in this?

They didn't know anything. They were instructed to not search the car.

So they didn't. They still decided to use the car though.

Alright, where are these jerks who grab everything they can get their hands on?

Try and find out.

You want to get rid of your rivals with our help.

Aren't you a bit slow, cop?

Mitya, I mean, Anton Sergeevich told me...

"Russia has to become legit again".

"Time to get rid of crime, you see?"

"No more caravans".

- Did he also shed a tear? - Sure thing.

He said to me, "Five Copecks, treat the law like you treat your mother,

or I'll shred you to pieces".

I know him for 20 years, he doesn't have to tell me twice. He'll definitely shred me.

He told me to help you, so I'm here to help.

So what's the source of your income?

Can you stop with your cop crap? Do you need to know everything?

We started a company, fair and square. Tickets, route charts.

We earn enough to get by. We do everything by the book, no funny business.

I agree, it's kinda boring. So do you need help or not?

Mitya told you to help and you are helping. Why?

Honestly?

I really don't like cops, no offense.

But this jerks from 13th division...

These guys are who I really hate. Real talk.

I'd slap them good.

Or he'll shred you.

Exactly. Anton Sergeevich has a way with words.

So why do they call you Five Copecks?

Before that I was Half-Copeck.

Making progress.

Yes.

Yes, I got it.

Maybe later?

Tomorrow?

Got it.

- Are these flowers for me? - Who else would I buy them for?

Thanks.

Can we go home?

Sashka Zhuzhukalo asked me to come over. Said it's urgent.

Go, then.

- I'll go. - Go, go.

Red wine, just the way you like it.

Good evening.

Same to you.

Why did you call me?

Yeah, why did you call us, Zhenya?

Wanted to know how's the case going.

It's FSB's case.

They doubt it was terrorism.

The explosion was caused by fuel fire.

They found the jeep's driver but have not arrested him yet.

Deputy Mitin talked to Yurka.

He suggested that he'd talk to a man who can help with the 13th division.

So?

He said they smuggle contraband by that highway.

Grey market electronics, uncustomed goods, stolen things...

I see, I see.

The driver might be involved.

- Who does the smuggling? - That's what I'm trying to find out.

Well, what does it have to do with me?

Internal Affairs act stubborn after the explosion

at the square and the death of Shevchuk.

Zelenov is temporary suspended.

Oh, I see.

Listen, guys...

I will definitely not put pressure on Internal Affairs.

There's no reasoning with them. No way.

- Wait, Alik... - Got any more questions?

Alik...

If there are no questions - there are no questions.

Why are you sitting here? Your wife just returned, go spend some time with her.

Come on, let's go, now!

That's what women do to men.

What's wrong with them? They are turning boys to men.

Did I tell you the meaning of your last name in Armenian?

I didn't want to offend you.

Zhuzhkal...

Means "a man who voluntarily rejects sex".

Are you talking about me?

This Zhuzhkal is not too smart.

Thanks for the dinner.

Hey, Zelenov, are you going to check the cargo or not?

Why are you so quiet?

What's in there?

Some electronics and stuff.

Don't you worry, all our papers are in order.

Everything is fine, no funny business.

Just don't offer money to the traffic guys instantly. You'll just scare them.

I wasn't even trying to.

Let them know I'm in charge, I'll deal with them.

What if the real masters of the road come? Won't it be too rough?

I'm warning you, I'll bail.

I doub't they'll start firing shots near the traffic police post.

I have a business proposal for you.

Why don't you sit behind the wheel? You have everything - the car, the cargo.

What did Mitya tell you?

What does Mitya have to do with anything?

He told me to help you - I'm helping.

Could you open your jacket, please.

Hey, cop, are you insane?

I'll be the first person they search. What's wrong with you?

They know my face, they'll frisk me.

They'll get suspicious. Let's make it even easier.

Why don't you tattoo "I'm with the cops" on my forehead?

What are we going to do if those guys come?

We'll leave the truck at the impound lot and try and discuss the price with them.

Worst case scenario, they'll punch me.

It's fine if they merely punch you.

What if they take us to the woods and bury us there?

Too many witnesses.

You just record our little chat.

What was that?

Didn't you see how I nodded and told them to talk to my boss?

I got out of the car, he checked my papers and returned them.

I don't know, maybe they are expecting some VIP to pass through

Or they are just that polite.

Don't you worry about a thing, there will be another post.

This is getting interesting.

How do you like it, Lenya?

I think there are implants and actual teeth.

You are a human implant, Zelenov.

Hey, where are you going?

Going to hand over the goods like I'm supposed to.

By the way, Zelenov, are you going to need me tomorrow?

Yeah, I'll need you. Later.

Don't you have a day off tomorrow?

So?

We're going to see the dentist.

I'd like to know what they are talking about.

That's difficult though.

We are not late, Yura. It'll take us an hour to get there and return.

We already lost an hour and will spend 40 minutes on the way back.

I'm supposed to have a day off today. I'm helping you voluntarily.

Don't go too fast. Stop here.

I blocked the road.

Give yourself a ticket, then.

Don't close your mouth.

Hello, doctor.

I thought you have an appointment for tomorrow.

Hi.

That's right.

Doctor, I got a little present for you.

I'm sorry, I can't. Only after I'm finished here.

It's a gift right from the heart.

I already have a clock.

Now you'll have two. No need to turn around to check time now.

Don't close your mouth.

Can you promise that this implant is going to be the best?

Best implants in the world, I promise.

Good luck.

Thanks for the gift.

Close your mouth.

Give me 5 minutes, I gotta tune my equipment.

We're already late, you can do it on the way.

I can't do it on the way, I need 5 minutes of silence.

Stop arguing with me, Zelenov.

I'm the tech guy here.

I'm not trying to do it in front of Five-Copecks.

No, he asked me for the best implant.

Nah, he doesn't have enough money.

You really think I should shake him down?

You're such a jerk, Zelenov. He is trying to play me.

Didn't yesterday's crew warned you?

You see that car on the side of the road?

These are ISD bastards. They are watching me.

Nah, you can search my truck if you want to, don't be shy.

Zelenov, are you nuts? What is your problem?

Hey, don't grab the boxes like that. There's expensive equipment in them.

Is it Bosch or Siemens?

Do you really give a damn, Zelenov?

You want to get a share too? I'm cool with that.

Huh?

Fire!

Fire!

Fire!

Anton Sergeevich wants to speak to you.

Half-Copeck was always too dumb.

Didn't expect that he'd become a rat though.

So he is Half-Copeck again, not Five-Copeck?

We'll need to question him, he is under restricted residence order.

What questions? The only thing for him to expect is crematorium now.

He got drunk yesterday, got under his car.

Was trying to fix it probably, but the jack was not stable.

And the car weights 2 tons, you know.

He wasn't breathing when they found him.

How is this my fault, Zelenov?

You confiscated his goods, but those goods didn't belong to me. Ask the owner.

Alright, this situation is my bad. I'll fix it.

I'll help you as I promised.

Do I ask for help?

It's me who's asking. As a deputy and an honest man.

Just please, no comments.

So...

There's that captain Losenok in the 13th division. He'll help you.

He is honest, he has issues with authority and he has a twin brother.

He always manages to get into trouble.

Is he a thug?

Nah, just stupid.

I mean, he is smart but dumb.

It's a problem for Losenok and you can push him a bit.

Well, you get what I mean. Here's his number.

I also have a friendly request.

Since when are we friends?

I'm recruiting new security guards and I don't want any trouble.

I'm mostly looking at your ex-employees with references.

Sometimes there are skeletons in the closet.

Here's the list, run them through the database.

Is it a paid service?

Nah, quid pro quo.

I helped you with Losenok.

If it works, I'd expect you to return the favor.

Bye.

Can we talk outside?

Show me your ID first, please.

Your turn.

Losenok Vitaliy Viktorovich.

Here you go.

I was told you could help me.

How?

Today they buried our friend.

Your colleagues tried to set people up.

I know, they are under investigation. That doesn't concern me.

There's a theory that people smuggled contraband by your highway.

- One of them had explosives in the car. - You found him?

They are still looking, he's just a pawn probably.

We want to find his boss.

- I know one of the bosses. - Who?

It was a special operation. Not the most successful, I agree.

It's my first month on the force. I fell for their trick.

I heard you got issues with authority.

I won't snitch on my buddies.

Well, if it's all nice and quiet in your division...

Or you just don't care?

I'll leave the force, just like that.

They said you have a twin brother.

That's none of your business.

Yeah, that was clunky.

Losenok is an interesting character.

We'll work together. Who's this?

My friends.

Yarik and Sevka Dashuk. Used to climb mountains together.

Are they alive?

Hope so.

We used to correspond for 6 years. They've been quiet for the last year.

Losenok's twin brother is Vaska.

Psychologically he is a bit unstable but within normal range.

Smart kid, he was in the university, wanted to get a post-grad degree.

- He dropped out though. - Why?

Got tired of being broke.

He wanted to make money, started consulting people, developing business plans.

Business... projects.

In reality he always gets into sticky situations...

and his brother is forced to save him.

Well...

He is your regular wack job, always close to going to prison.

Last year Losenok came to us, asked to clean up the battalion.

They probably explained him that it's easy to

get his brother into prison, so he calmed down.

Now he told you to shove it and he's right. His brother is everything for him.

What if we take his brother under protection?

Good thinking, man.

I talked to Paul, to Lidia Sergeevna.

Tomorrow we'll summon both brothers.

You are also invited.

- 10 o'clock at my place. - But I'm suspended.

And I am too busy, Yura.

I'm an important person now.

So you will have to deal with the brothers under my guidance.

Are we going to eat or not?

Damn it.

This reptiloid theory is not as dumb as you think.

You should just pay more attention.

There are sayings like...

Snake face.

Snake smile.

- Do you often meet these reptiloids? - It's not that...

You just gotta know how to avoid them.

They'll smile at you.

They'll pat you on the back.

In the end they'll still devour you.

It's just in their nature.

What does it have to do with your studies?

You were one of the best students, meaning you enjoyed it. But then you dropped out.

Money is important for the economy.

But for people, life is important.

Global economy is ruled by the reptiloids.

Which leads to conclusion...

You have to make more money to make your life safer.

Don't you need money?

Take your time. And you?

- How much do they pay you? - Me?

Don't answer.

And how much do they pay you?

He is not crazy.

He is just wired differently.

He is all about graphs, formulas, numbers...

It's not because he's my brother.

They've been dragging him to see psychiatrists since 3rd grade.

When mom was alive.

He had checkups every 6 months.

And every time... well, almost every time...

They concluded that he was healthy psychologically and somatically.

Legally he is close to going to prison though.

And you too.

How many times did you close his cases?

Let me rephrase it.

If we put your brother under state protection...

Will you be able to help us?

Or do you have so many skeletons that if we push

you a bit you'll just start denying everything?

I never forced or threatened anybody.

I used to bribe them.

The sums were nothing special though.

How much is "nothing special"? Who did you pay?

It doesn't matter.

It was all regular human interactions.

See, I'm not some cheap hooker who's ready to do it today and pulls some stunt tomorrow.

As long as Vaska is not in danger, I'll keep my promise.

People are often surprised when I sign contracts without even looking.

What's so surprising?

I'm smart, I know everything.

These contracts mean nothing in our world.

If they want to trick you, they will.

Well, yeah, but they provide some protection at least.

Furthermore, it's a way to avoid misunderstanding.

You know, I'm always happy when they trick me.

It means I don't have to waste time on them anymore.

Time...

Is very important.

That's why I just leave.

Is your brother...

Important to you?

- Losenok? - You are both Losenok.

Yeah, but since way back...

People call me Vaska and he is known as Losenok for some reason.

He is more respected. It's a paradox.

But is he important to you?

Well, we are twins. Nature has decided everything for us.

Also, I'd like to ask you one thing...

If your investigation is a success, I would like to stay at my battalion.

I'm not asking for promotion, I just want to keep the job.

Aren't you afraid they'll devour you?

Am I doing anything wrong?

Why would they devour me?

I'm doing this so that regular honest folks can work there.

Not everyone is a scumbag there. People are getting pressured

to leave, but they must stay. And I want to keep working there.

Do you really want to help our investigation?

If you are able to protect my brother.

Please, only answer with "yes" or "no".

Yes.

If you are able to protect my brother.

We will put your brother under protection.

We are ready to cooperate.

Is it certain or are there some formalities left?

He'll just sign the agreement...

After that he's completely safe.

I'll do everything I can. Even more if possible.

Okay.

Vasility, we are putting you under protection. You will be safe.

So what?

Nothing...

Just please, no reptiloids. You can develop your business plans 24/7.

I can develop them now.

That way you'll feel a lot safer. Plus you'll help your brother.

You just have to sign a document.

I won't.

Why? I thought we agreed.

I just won't. Let me go home.

Come with me.

I'm not going anywhere. I wanna go home.

Vasya, what happened?

I don't need your protection, I'm going home.

FSB (Federal Security Service)

Mister Zelenov, look at this person.

Do you know him?
