Original subtitles

I'm a colonel from the state protection department, ISD.

This is not a robbery, we are protecting a witness.

Lieutenant Merya decided to rat us out. And not just us.

He hired security and is trying to leave the city.

Will you do it?

Remember, these are the main signs.

No, Rudiy. Zelenov is coming with us.

Take the vest.

It's a real lifesaver, isn't it, Andrey Yakovlevich?

Hi. Why are you here?

- I'm sorry, are you Yaroslav? - Do I know you?

You're Yura's friend, right?

- Where is Yura working now? - ISD.

Do you know this man?

It's from Chechnya. Can't remember who he was.

Try and remember. Or I'll find out myself.

All of us, including you, Ryazantsev, are on foreign soil.

Even if you call an assault team...

We don't know who are they going to arrest - criminals or us.

You set us up, betrayed us like a real rat.

Guys, you murder people.

You are just hired killers. Denying people trial.

For the last time, I'm telling you to release the hostage.

Fire!

Call Smolyak, tell him to cease fire! One of my men is there!

There's an operation under way to free the hostage.

There are my men there! And most importantly, my friend!

DEPARTMENT

Let's drink to the health...

Or even better, to the fact that Yuri Zelenov was born again.

Andrey Yakovlevich, Zhenya, Lidia Sergeevna.

Thanks for saving my ass there.

- Why aren't you drinking, Lidia Sergeevna? I don't enjoy it anymore, Alenushka.

Don't call me Alenushka, please.

Alright. Alright.

Weird, I thought you'd like being called by short name.

Doesn't it help you to feel young, attractive and smart?

I forgot you're a psychologist.

But yeah, you were wrong, sorry.

You dont like psychologists?

What am I thinking about right now?

I know what you are thinking about, but let's change the subject.

I also know what you are thinking about.

But I don't have a degree in psychology, that's the difference between us.

Let's check our theories.

I'm thinking about cutting this cake into 7 pieces.

Let me tell you a story.

Are you good at telling stories, Andrey Yakovlevich?

Yeah, when it's necessary.

It happened in one northern country.

Our ambassador had to go to a meeting.

You're a very interesting man. I like your type. Are you married?

I'm divorced, no kids.

Turned out that our ambassador was a complete idiot.

So are we going to cut the cake or what?

Could you give me the knife, Lidia Sergeevna?

I'm so sorry, Sasha.

Lida, why don't you change jobs?

Andrey, can we go to your place?

Right now.

Once again...

Someone called your husband lieutenant Sivak in the middle of the night.

He got dressed and left, said it was work-related.

You saw his car leave, right?

Right.

When you woke up, your husband wasn't there. He didn't answer the phone.

You got worried and went to his office.

They told you no one called him that night.

The colonel made you wait for him for 2 hours but didn't even see you. I'm sorry.

Yes, Zhenya.

I remember that. See you in the evening.

What does the colonel have to do with it? My husband disappeared!

Nikita always finds a way to call me! Whatever happens, he always calls me!

He can't live without hearing his daughter's voice, it makes him lose his mind!

I will find him for sure, but on one condition.

Don't distract me.

Deal?

- I'm not trying to distract you. That's great.

- Borya, go see her off. - Come with me.

- Goodbye, Asya. - Goodbye.

Senya, let's trace a phone number.

- That's the place? - Yeah.

That will be 47 roubles.

Thanks.

Here.

Be seeing you.

Ahmed Magomedovich, let's go to the back room.

No, you can't go there?

Are you deaf?

Don't move, gorilla!

Who are you people?

Stand by the door and don't let anyone in.

What do you want? Who are you?

Read this. Economic Security.

Tomorrow you will switch your alcohol supplier.

What?

What didn't you understand?

Tomorrow you will accept our delivery...

Otherwise you can expect a lot of inspections.

You'll get in trouble with fire department and poison control.

We'll prove that you sell alcohol at night.

- You'll lose your license! - I don't sell alcohol, I have a certain!

What did you say?

A certain.

What's that? Do you even speak Russian?

A curtain...

Listen, I'll teach you to speak russian, you understand?

It's Russia, we talk in Russian here.

So you are switching the supplier, right, Ahmedik?

- Had a quiet night? - What? What do you mean?

- Where's Sivak? - Who's Sivak?

Does everyone in this station answer questions with questions?

My bad, didn't catch it.

Where's lieutenant Nikita Sivak?

Oh, Sivak... Sorry, I have no idea.

He's working in the field in accordance with his schedule.

- Have you seen Sivak today? - No, sir.

- Where's the office of colonel Akulov? - What? Oh, I'll show you.

When did you become a grammar crusader?

What?

What was that nonsense you said in the store?

Did you hear him talk? That was nonsense...

If he decided to live in Russia, he has to learn how to speak.

Are you defending him?

You hit me.

That's the only language you understand.

We've been given a chance to change our lives. Don't screw it up.

Or do you want to drive that old wreck of a car till your retirement?

Want to live paycheck to paychek?

You hit me. I thought you were my friend.

I didn't hit you. I just brought you to your senses.

Now I'm going to bring you to your senses.

Let's go.

I need to know about Sivak.

Lieutenant Nikita Sivak.

Did Asya send you? Are you here because of her?

Asya? Who's Asya?

Sivak's wife.

Forget about it.

Why are you here?

It hasn't even been 24 hours, what can we do?

Who could call Sivak from work at such a late hour?

Anyone could. You, for example.

My men didn't call him, I checked it.

Asya only believes her husband, of course.

I talked to his friends, thinking he could've been spending time with them.

- Both of them were at home. - Their last names?

Oleinik and Radulov.

Oleinik and Radulov.

Oleinik and Radulov.

Tell me, lieutenant Oleinik, where does your comrade-in-arms live?

That's his front door.

Maybe he didn't go anywhere? His car is here.

His wife just imagined it.

Didn't notice he was at home?

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Got it.

Why did you call Sivak, Oleinik?

They traced your number.

Let's go.

We usually bring girls here. Tonight one of them was also here.

- What's her name? - Lenka, I don't know her last name.

I called Nikitos, invited him. He came over.

Comrade captain, please, don't tell Asya about it.

Do you have any water?

Yes, just a moment.

Thanks. Keep talking.

Well, we were here till morning. I cleaned the place up and went to work.

- What time was that? - About 6.

- Why didn't you tell me about it before? - Do you bring prostitutes here?

- To have a good time. - Comrade captain...

I don't want to get Nikitos in trouble with Asya.

Alright, let's take you to the station.

Comrade captain, can I stay here?

I need to clean it up.

Whatever.

If Sivak shows up here, tell him I said hi.

Have a nice day.

Enough games.

Chief inspector of traffic police sergeant Gurtov.

Your ID, please.

What happened?

Tsaunia Andrey Andreevich. Where are you going?

Taking a walk.

What were you doing here?

- He lives here. Is this your car? - Yes.

Open the trunk.

What happened?

Look at that.

That's not mine.

- What happened? - Dad!

- What happened? - Hands off!

What's going on?

It's a pleasure doing business, Igor Valerievich.

I'm glad it's just the beginning.

I'm also very glad.

Well, see you tomorrow.

I won't take no for an answer.

Remember, mr. Lebedenko, it's you who needs it, not me.

Done.

It's a sample consignment, Ahmed. So you try and sell it.

Yeah...

Later.

Arthur!

Dump all the bottles, or people will get poisoned!

Antonov? Of course I remember.

What do you need, mr. Antonov?

Come to the department. Is it confidential?

Yea, of course.

Do you remember the working hours?

- What did he say? - Nothing, nothing so far.

Maybe it's for the best.

- Maybe we shouldn't do it? - What do you mean?

They'll walk all over you otherwise.

Man, too bad we can't get Zelenov. He has an iron grip.

- I don't think it's a good idea. - Listen, Ahmed...

You know how I feel about you and your brother.

- I promised I'd make it right and I will. - Hey, can I buy something?

- I wanna buy something. - Coming.

Wait.

I'm listening.

A bottle of brut champagne and that vodka...

- Which one? - 3 Bogatyrya.

Margolin, can't you spend a day without vodka?

Mom doesn't drink.

None of your business. You're just like Zhuzhukalo.

- Need a bag? - Yes.

Alright...

- 386 roubles. - A moment.

Where will we go? I don't have all day.

Do you know Oleinik well?

Are you trying to question me?

What do you need, anyway?

Have a sit.

Tikhonova Elena Petrovna, born in 1989... in Tomsk.

She has been living in Moscow since 2009, working

in the massage parlor on Malaya Nikiforovskaya.

How's the business, Lena?

No one bothering you?

Business is fine. And no one's bothering me.

How did you meet Oleinik?

We met at some bar.

Lena, don't give me that...

All your colleagues sleep with cops for protection, and you are in love with him?

Who else was protecting your business other than Oleinik?

This ring is a gift from Oleinik?

I suggest you take it off. Come on.

- What happened to Sasha? - For now you should think about yourself.

If you don't want to become his accomplice.

Wait, accomplice in what?

Ah, I see what you mean.

Who else were you sleeping with?

There was also a tatar guy.

Was this man there the night before last?

No, I have never seen this one.

And the night before last we were there alone. Didn't get to do anything.

Someone called him and he rushed away.

- What time was that? - 3 AM, maybe 3:30.

Who called him?

No idea.

I thought it was the guard from the institute.

Then I heard the voice and realized it was one of his bosses.

What institute?

A huge building outside the city. He works security there sometimes.

What's going to happen now, chief?

That's for the court to decide, Elena.

Don't put the ring on.

Bye.

You didn't know your husband was working security in Transmash Research Institute?

Never heard of that.

He frequently stayed out all night.

Come here.

Is he there right now?

Why can't he call me?

You know that a law enforcement officer can't take odd jobs?

Well...

Strictly prohibited. That's a crime.

- Where's your daughter? - At my mother's house.

Take the kid and go home.

- I don't understand why he can't call me. - I will ask him about it when I see him.

You called?

Borya, see her off.

Goodbye, Asya.

Semyon, check the last number who called Oleinik last night.

I sent you an e-mail.

Yura, the experts checked Sivak's car.

There are traces of blood on the bumper.

Yura, do you remember Antonov?

The guy who ordered a hit on himself.

Yeah, what of it?

We have information that after that highway business he hasn't been doing so well.

Why are you so interested in Antonov?

- Did he call you? - Yes.

I'm meeting with him tonight.

Congratulations. Just don't drink too much and be careful.

We have information that Antonov gives people roofies.

Stop by Transmash Research Institute tomorrow.

Talk to the head of security. Oleinik works security there.

- Maybe his friend works there too. - Got it.

So?

I have very little time.

Well, my friend... I mean his business was threatened

by people, who might be of interest to you.

They might be or they might not be, be more specific.

He'll be more specific when he comes to the department.

We don't have time today.

They are from Economic Security.

What do they want?

I don't know it myself.

Your friend's address.

Yuzhnaya street, 15/3.

Fine, tell him to wait for me...

Tell him to expect me tomorrow night.

Have a nice evening.

There's another guy from that department working shifts there.

One lieutenant Radulov. He wasn't in the institute that night, though.

I see.

What about our outlaw Antonov?

Antonov is a weird one.

Why is that?

When we met he was driving a nice Hummer.

I checked it and he had to get a loan to buy it.

Well, yeah, he is an outlaw.

It's been tough for him after that story with a highway.

That car is nothing, he signed over all his property.

Our businessman Antonov is deep in debt.

What did he want?

He said Economic Security is threatening his friend.

So, tomorrow at 7?

Well?

We'll see.

What's wrong?

- Did you forget your brains at home? - What?

Can't you see the light or hear the siren?

Come on.

I just noticed you.

Look at me, legs apart, hands apart too.

Hey, his name is Anton Ilyich Bekha!

Yeah, Bekha.

Look what I found under the seat.

Do you have no fear at all?

So you can't hear the siren, huh?

- That's not mine, that's not mine. - Give me your hand.

There's a school nearby. Selling your dope there?

That's not mine.

Who's your supplier?

- There is no supplier. - Who's your supplier?

Take him to the station, we'll talk there.

Come on.

Good afternoon.

- Oh, it's you. - Yes.

What about the secret knock? I asked you...

Sorry, I forgot.

Come in.

What did you say?

Are you trying to bribe us?

Are you that dumb?

- Well, you said you needed help... - 70 grand.

- What? - You got 2 hours.

We have your ID.

So no funny business.

In 2 hours sharp, on the bus stop near Zarechnaya.

You're on the clock, so run.

Are you deaf?

Ready, set, go, do it!

Ahmed Magomedovich, how can I protect you if I don't know what's going on?

You wanted to tell me something. So do it or I'll just go.

Fine. This information is very important.

2 days ago 2 men came to my store.

They are both tall, strong, dressed in expensive suits.

They told me to switch my alcohol supplier.

They said that otherwise they would close my store and arrest me.

Because I got no curtain.

But there is a curtain.

I have an alarm clock. When it's 10 PM, I bring down the curtain - no more alcohol.

- Who were they? - Economic Security.

Economic Security.

Yes.

He showed me his ID.

One of them was so polite, while the other one...

Did you catch his last name?

No, he showed it for a second and put in the pocket. I didn't have time to read it.

I'm certain that they are your colleagues.

Continue.

I got scared and accepted their deal. What could I do?

Then they gave me a sample of their vodka.

- Are their prices too high? - It's not about the money.

How can you do such a thing?

How could I know what was in the bottles? I got a good store.

People know me, they respect me. They know I would never sell bad vodka.

Everything is fresh here. Fresh sausage, fresh hot dogs, fresh dumplings.

My vodka is fresh too.

- So even your vodka is fresh? - Yes.

Well, let's give it a taste, then.

There's no vodka.

Why is that? You said they gave you a sample.

Yes, and I dumped it all as soon as they left.

- Wait, did you dump their vodka? - I did.

That's brave of you.

Yes, Bahrushev.

Can't anyone else do it?

Have you lost your mind? Where can I find 70 grand?

I see, okay.

- Ahmed Magomedovich. - Yes.

Can you lend me 70 thousand on receipt for a couple of days?

I don't have 70 thousand. 20-30 at best.

What are you talking about? You've been selling stuff all day.

I swear on my mother's name. You can go and see for yourself.

- Alright, let's see it. - Come on.

He doesnt' want 20... He wants 70.

It's just for a couple of days, I'll give it back.

Here, look.

Here, here and here. That's all.

30 grand, I don't need your receipt.

Hey, Ahmed, don't be silly. You need it.

But I believe you.

Don't.

Thanks, you saved me.

Here, take it.

You just protect me.

I will, don't worry.

- Right... - Thanks.

Protect me!

Is Bekha your real last name?

Yes. What if they count it?

You'll just give them the money and go.

- Got it, but what if they start... - Don't worry, Anton Ilyich.

I'll deal with that.

Yeah...

Lenya, where you been? We gotta go.

I'm so sorry for not having a private jet, Senya.

What if they search me first?

- Then they'll shoot you. - Lenya. He's joking.

Man, its the size of a pin, they won't find it for sure.

Well, Anton Ilyich, godspeed.

Wait, how about checking the mic?

Just go.

Mr. Bekha.

Is this your ID?

We've been following you for an hour. Here, try to not lose it again.

Good night.

Wait, what just happened?

I'm saying, we found his passport on the street. In the middle of the road.

We began checking on him, found the guy and gave it back.

- What's the problem? - The problem?

You will put your ID on this table and then the trouble begins.

What passport, sergeant, what are you saying?

What guy, where do you see any guys?

This guy right here.

Hey, Bekha, have you seen them before?

Yes or no, it's a specific question.

I asked you a question, Bekha, have you seen them or not?

Here...

Senya, got a minute?

Sit here and wait.

Did they take the money or not?

What money? It's not about the money.

I had to run but I got a call...

- Why did you bring them here? - Who?

Those cops.

Are you even listening? They were extorting 70 grand from that kid.

- Oh, Yura, I gotta run. - Where to?

To pay my debt. He has my receipt.

Don't let them go, keep pressing them, okay?

Where's the receipt?

Here.

- Okay, now write a date and sign it. - Yeah...

- Do you remember the date? - Yes, it's the 13th.

Yeah, it's the 13th...

Count it.

Seems right.

The curtain... Don't bring it up tonight.

Today is my mom and dad's anniversary...

Dad wanted to surprise her, he cooked some stuff...

Mom forgot about it.

He called today...

Said she was going to spend the night at grandma's place.

We decided to eat everything ourselves.

Then dad had a drink...

He fell on the floor.

He had convulsions...

- How much did he drink? - About 100 grams.

He didn't like that vodka.

He started getting sick, puking.

What was the brand?

3 Bogatyrya.

Hello.

I'm major Zhuzhukalo from the Department of Internal Security, the MVD of Russia.

A patient Margolin was brought to your clinic recently.

Put it on speaker.

Severe methanol poisoning, too early to talk about the consequences.

It's possible that it will lead to blindness.

Thanks, goodbye.

Where did he buy this vodka, do you remember?

Yeah, I was with him.

What's the store? What's it called?

I can show you.

- Please. - Thanks.

Enjoy.

I'm listening.

Well?

What?

Let's conduct a test purchase.

What purchase?

I'm so tired of you...

Dear customers, the store is closed because of the special operation.

I ask you to go outside.

Can we buy our things first?

Get the people out. And go out yourself.

Get them out.

Do it.

And get some fresh air, too.

I'm sorry, everyone. Go.

- You see? - What do you need?

I see we are beginning to understand each other.

That's very nice.

What are we doing?

How about the test purchase?

What do you want?

I want that bottle.

"3 Bogatyrya". Give it to me.

Right...

Come on, quick.

- This one? - Yeah.

- Oh, there's an excise sticker. - There is.

Yeah, so fresh...

Don't just look at it, we're not in Hermitage.

- Just your regular vodka, drink and enjoy. - Regular, huh?

You can buy it or just go home.

Bring the glasses.

What glasses?

It's not some restaraunt!

Take your vodka and get out!

Pay me and go. I'm tired of you people trying to scare me.

Bring the glasses.

Open it.

Pour some.

- Drink it. - I don't drink.

Really, never?

I swear on my mom I don't drink.

How do you deal with stress then? Drugs?

- What drugs? - I'll find them!

You won't find anything! I swear I don't drink!

I swear I don't!

Drink your methanol!

What methanol? It's pure vodka, man!

Oh, really?

People drink your poison, you drink it too!

I told you to drink it!

I'm glad you're here. It's crazy.

Now drink to Kavkaz women!

Drink to Kavkaz!

Do it, do it.

Zhenya, is this some kind of a celebration?

We are trying to verify something.

Margolin Sr. got sick from methanol he bought here. He's in the hospital now.

Now we're trying to find out which of the bottles contain methanol.

This guy seems to not care at all, though.

Did you try sending vodka to the lab for chemical analysis?

Your words hurt me, Yura.

He's done.

See? The bastard fell asleep.

Let's go, Zhenya.

People are worried. Take it.

Yeah, nowadays they ain't that tough...

They want to talk to you.

Listen, Oleinik, the ISD is onto you.

They really want to know what you were doing that night.

You understand? That night.

So why don't you go there...

And tell them that you were accompanying a consignment to Guseinov's store.

What consignment?

How do you know about it?

I just know. And guys from the ISD should know to, it's for the best.

Also, find your 3rd friend. You know who I'm talking about.

Find him and send him swimming.

Where?

In the river, Oleinik.

I'm not talking about the pool.

Let him swim a bit, he's been laying low for too long.

- It won't be too nice if they find him. - Like they won't find him anyway.

Listen, just do what I tell you.

And then what?

And then I'll tell you what to do next.

So just go to the ISD and tell them about Guseinov's consignment.

Then you find your friend and send him swimming.

You got 4 hours to do it.

- Or I can just call captain Zelenov. - What Zelenov? You know him?

I'm his friend.

Helping him do his job.

Come on, you're on the clock, Oleinik.

- What was the cargo? - Swear to god I don't know.

- What happened after? - We all went home.

- So what was the cargo? - I told you I don't know.

Don't commit sin, Oleinik.

One man almost died after drinking vodka from that store.

You'll be an accomplice.

I swear, I honestly don't know what was in there.

Tomorrow you'll take a polygraph in the department.

Fine.

Are you ready, Radul?

Take the tools.

Did you learn anything?

Did you learn anything?

I'm sorry, what?

You told me you were going to look into that Institute.

We're working.

You were going to look into that stupid Institute.

What's going on, where's my husband?

Why is she crying?

I have to change her diaper. Didn't expect you to take so long.

- I don't have another with me. - I think my wife has them, let's go in.

- I'll go to the store. - No, let's go. Come on.

The store is too far away.

- Your ID. - Captain Bahrushev.

The ISD is here.

- Captain Bahrushev. - Investigator Artemiev.

- When did they find him? - 2 hours ago.

- Did he have anything on him? - A cell and some ID.

- Are these diapers fine? - Yes, thanks a lot.

I thought they were wrong size.

Okay, time to say hello.

Yaroslav, this is Yulia.

Yulia, this is Yaroslav.

Hi.

- Yes, Senya. - Hello, Yura.

- I'll call you back. - Sivak was killed.

Asya's husband.
