Original subtitles

Where's Bahrushev? Why isn't he here?

- Did they break his neck? - And then shot the body after that.

- When did he die? - An hour before the shot.

An hour before Semyon arrived.

Semyon managed to record the serials from Guseinov's cash before the operation.

We found some bills with matching numbers in Guseinov's cash desk.

- He gave the money back. - I understand it.

But I have to make sure Semyon is not guilty.

Here.

- He gotta sober up. - He won't sober up if left unsupervised.

There was a black BMW7 near the store, when we were trying to by vodka.

M750MH, region 197, record it.

The car is registered to a corpse.

It was seen near Guseinov's store and near Margolin's house the day he got sick.

Short hair, a scar on the left cheek... You're looking really familiar, dude.

- Stanislav Danilovich Knysh. - Who's this person?

He was in Guseinov's store with Knysh.

He looks exactly like mr. Antonov.

- Do you know this man? - No.

Call us if you remember where Ilya could've gone.

- I need your protection. - Tell us.

Tell you what?

Tell us how you, Oleinik and Sivak met with Economic Security.

What Economic Security? I don't know anything.

Who did you meet with, then?

Akulov told us to go to that meeting. We were supposed to go there...

...and explain to those guys that they should stay away.

Some thugs came there and knocked Sivak's out.

- What thugs? - Here they are.

Good evening.

DEPARTMENT

Hi, chief.

Nah, everything's fine. Yeah, both clients are here. Yeah.

Yeah, I think they'll confess in a day or two.

Don't worry, it's alright.

Yeah, everything's fine. Don't worry, chief. Sure...

You know, Semyon, there's one good thing about this situation.

Please explain, Zhenya.

You can't drink with your hands tied.

If there was anything to drink I'd do it with my hands tied.

You know what my dad used to tell me?

When he returned from the liquor store to get his wallet...

He told me: "You gotta be strong enough to go back home".

He went back to the store later.

Wait, I thought your father was a test pilot.

Yeah, right, he was a vodka taster.

The worst part is I wasn't able to propose to Alena. I wanted to.

Man, she gotta build a statue of that bald guy now.

That was rude, Senya.

You're a wicked man, Semyon.

What are you going to do about it?

Couldn't she change her mind and call back?

- She only had my number, she didn't... - Were you being followed?

Turn left, Andrey Yakovlevich.

Hello. We're on our way. Yeah, just sit there and wait.

Where did you split up?

Where did you go and where did Zhenya go?

She's at home. No one came in or out.

What's with Zhuzhukalo's phone?

He received his last call at 7:30 last night.

They called him from Radulov's phone. His phone's off now.

Find Radulov, do it. What's the code?

36578.

Find him, find him.

Who is it?

The Internal Security Department, Ministry of the Interior.

I'm colonel Andrey Yakovlevich Paul.

- This is... - We know each other.

- Can we come in? - Of course.

You got a lot of books about ballet, Vera Sergeevna.

They're my daughter's. She's a ballerina.

She used to spend all her money on these books.

How many pieces of sugar, Paul?

One is enough.

Is it her?

Yes, that's Natasha.

- What about you? - Four.

I got a better picture.

Let me just find it.

- Isn't it too much sugar? - Andrey Yakovlevich.

Hungry childhood?

Look, she's in the Mariinsky Ballet Company.

Here she is.

That's when they performed in Bonn, I think.

- She's probably away a lot... - She has her own place.

She moved there right after she got married.

Her husband was a good, honest, kind and generous man.

She left a house to Natashka. It's in Promislovy, near Moscow.

A small house, but very beautiful.

- Did you find the shell? - Yes.

- One? - Two.

One was near the body, another one was near the car.

- Only one body? - Yes.

- Did you search the area? - Of course.

Hey, put out an APB on Knysh.

Yes.

Two vehicles, a minibus and a SUV.

American, probably...

A huge crowd.

Of course they gotta be armed.

We need a chopper, too. Yes, you heard me.

Yes, the Typhoon.

Didn't you understand me?

They have two of my men.

Listen, Andrey, can you go see your mentee?

What for?

Well, he's Guseinov's relative. He's respected in the diaspora.

Why would the diaspora kill Guseinov?

What are you even doing here, Alik?

- I told you where to stay. - Yes, sir.

Ping the phone, Lenya.

Someone is calling Knysh right now.

That other one is from the ISD too.

Where are they?

They're here.

I'll be there soon. Don't touch them untill I arrive, got it?

Sure.

Well, Evgeniy Mikhailovich, how are you feeling?

Feeling great, thanks.

I got 2 questions for you.

First, what did Radulov tell you?

Who's Radulov?

You don't know Radulov?

I don't know Radulov.

What about your friend?

Senya, do you know Radulov?

He's quiet. You hurt his feelings.

Wait, was Radulov the one you killed?

Should've asked him before killing him.

Untie his left hand.

Give me the axe.

What are you doing?

- Well, Evgeniy Mikhailovich? - Zhenya.

- Do you remember Radulov or not? - Zhenya.

- Do you? - Zhenya!

No?

- Well? - No!

You better remember him. I'll deal with you in 10 minutes.

Use your head.

Bandage his arm, we don't want him to die too fast.

Shut up.

I'll go around.

How are you, Senya?

I'm so sorry. What was I to do?

If I told him, he would just kill us both.

You'd have done the same in my position.

Listen, friend.

Do me a favor, find his finger.

Listen, they'll put it back on later, can't you see?

How can a grown man live without his finger? It's a joke.

You're full of it, he's a dead man, he doesn't need a finger.

Who's the dead man? You're the dead man.

Idiot.

- You're talking to me? - Talking to you, idiot.

Dumb ass jock, all muscles, no brains!

What are you going to do?

Come on!

Listen, bastard, I'll beat you to a pulp.

Listen, you, gorilla...

Hands up.

Axe on the ground.

Gun on the ground.

Listen carefully. Take those cops and get out of there.

Our guests will be there soon.

Talk to you later.

Let's go!

Yura, to your left!

All clear.

The area is cleared.

The enemy is neutralized.

Semyon is at the hospital. They put his finger back on.

He also broke two ribs.

Andrey, don't you think we should put Semyon under the state protection?

Putting some guards outside the hospital will be enough.

Maybe we should talk to Akulov once more. Ask him why he sent his men.

You think he'll tell you?

Akulov got in the way of Bald and Knysh.

Yeah, there were problems.

If Akulov sent his men to deal with them...

They definitely had problems.

There are no more issues, that's good.

What's interesting is that these problems were not related to counterfeit goods.

Katz got nothing on these guys.

What if Akulov gets in their way once again?

Should we let him go? He's a good man.

What about Kulik?

I'll deal with Kulik.

Yura, find me Tsaunia's address.

That guy who confuses tea for weed all the time.

Alright, folks.

I just wanted to ask...

What is our dear colonel Akulov doing out there?

Well, he's just living life.

But why?

They let him go. No need to get excited.

Colonel Akulov is not our colonel anymore. Consider him dead.

But he's alive.

No, it's just a ghost.

Don't even think of paying him a visit. Don't get near him.

Let's get out of here.

Excuse me.

I have a train to catch. What do you want?

I see you are moving to Orenburg to live with your sister. Did you sell your apartment?

Yes, I did.

Listen, isn't it funny? The leading engineer in a huge Research

Institute suddenly resigns, sells his apartment and leaves the city.

What's so funny about it?

Well, it's actually very funny. Maybe it's related to that story with your son?

How is that relevant?

- That story had a happy ending. - Really?

Thank god.

What story had a bad ending, then?

From what I know, you owned a stock in your institute.

Right?

- Right. - Yeah.

I checked it. When the Institute was privatized in 1990, you got 2% of it's stock.

- Yes. - I want to know if you still own them.

No, I sold my share.

Oh, so you sold it. Such a smart guy.

I also sold my house. I sold everything...

Just to buy a house in Orenburg.

I see...

Now, think hard. Who did you sell your share to?

I'm awfully sorry, but I'm late for my train.

I can't miss it. No.

Lidia Sergeevna, tell me, when will they let me go?

I feel like I'm in a prison, not a hospital.

Semyon, please.

- Doctor's orders. - What orders?

I'm perfectly fine, I can walk without assistance, look.

Don't get up, Semyon, I believe you.

Why do you all keep bothering me? Here, at home...

Semyon, it's best for you to stay here.

Who said that? Zhuzhukalo?

Lidia Sergeevna...

Remember how you told me about 100 gram in the department?

I do.

I just can't believe you even know such things.

I don't look like a drinker, right?

Are you joking?

No, I'm just really old.

I did some drugs, there even were men in my life, imagine that.

You know, Lidia Sergeevna...

You're the only sane person here.

Why do you need all this?

So, where's our patient?

- Hello, Lidia Sergeevna. - Hello.

I'd rather wait outside.

Alena.

Alena!

Zhenya told you what happened?

He didn't get into specifics.

Alena, I want to ask you to be gentle to him. Please.

I don't really know what happened there.

- I'm sorry for interfering. - He might've been killed?

Well, you know that he won't tell if I ask him.

He'll only tell if he wants to, so...

Well, that's all I had to say.

Maybe it was in vain.

I'm really sorry.

Lidia Sergeevna.

I'm wondering how we are going to live, if we move in together.

- Together? - Yeah, together.

I mean, I always come home late...

I'm always tired, annoyed.

What if I come home one night and you are like,

"Look who's decided to come home at last".

I'll just look down on you without saying anything.

I'll ask, "Where's my steak?"

"Can't even say hi, huh?"

Hi, where's my beefsteak?

It's in the restaurant.

Let's go, you'll be my guide.

I'm too tired, I need to sleep.

I have a very big trial tomorrow, imagine that.

Yes, Zhenya, you are not the only one doing important work here.

And what about our vacation? The summer is almost over.

I can't go anywhere right now, Alena.

This investigation is too serious, you understand?

Alright, I'll just go alone.

Listen, can't you wait for a couple of weeks?

- I can't. - I can't, Zhenya.

I'm tired of constantly waiting for god knows what.

It seems that our life is going to be perfect.

Yeah.

- Can I have 3 of those? - Please.

- Here's your change. - Thanks.

Stop, Violetta.

Stepa, where are you going? Stepan!

Where are you running to?

Stop!

Stepan!

Stop it, Stepa.

I told you that's enough.

Sit, Stepan.

God, I'm so sorry, he's usually very calm.

It means he really likes you.

He likes ice cream and good people.

That means you're a good man.

Hello, Stepan Kuzmich. Are you here to see Roman?

Come on in, I'll be there in a minute.

Take your jacket off, young man, I'll clean it.

I live next door. Take it off. Take it off.

- It'll only take a minute, take it off. - No, thanks, it's nothing.

As you wish.

I'm terribly sorry.

Why were you and Zhuzhukalo with Radulov?

I went there with him.

I see...

Did Zhuzhukalo force you to go with him?

Listen, all the details are in my report!

Why are you screaming?

I like screaming!

Why were there cuffs on the passenger door of Zhuzhukalo's car?

Oh, the car's just designed that way.

Special cop design.

- Captain Bahrushev. - What?

I'm on sick leave, do I need to explain the reason?

Or should I just put the bedpan on your head?

Alright.

Get well.

Why are you so happy?

This whole Akulov thing is weak, it doesn't work.

The defendant just sits at home all day with his wife and dog.

Doesn't speak to anyone.

He was visited once by the director of the Institute, Stepan Kuzmich Polozov.

If they really wanted to get rid of him so badly that they got us involved...

Now he's free, it's only fitting that they get rid of him.

Or maybe he doesn't bother anyone anymore.

Knysh also disappeared, he just vanished into thin air.

Antonov has also been quiet. Maybe we should talk to him?

What are you going to ask him?

I'll ask him why did he decide to stay, where did he get that disc...

- What's his connection to Knysh. - I can guess his answer.

"That's just how my life turned out".

You'll learn nothing and expose yourself, Zhenya.

And if you expose yourself...

The people who are behind him might decide to lay low.

We can't let that happen.

I got another idea.

I have a few friends in various Research Institutes.

They all happened to change their outlook on life simultaneously.

Zaza, for instance, moved to Sri Lanka with his family.

This is a man who's never been farther than Pirogovskoe reservoir in his life.

They came to Vasilievich for his shares...

Despite him not even owning a half 0.001% of the stock.

Tsaunia ain't my friend, but he also decided to sell his apartment overnight.

He left the city with his son.

When you start thinking about it...

These 3 Institutes own property worth of millions of dollars.

Which 3 Institutes?

The ones my friends... let's say - used to work at.

That's why Knysh came into the picture,

Akulov's been quiet as a fish and - most importantly -

why Antonov returned to the surface.

It's a raid, Zhenya. A raid.

- It's an actual raid. - Looks like that.

Which Institute are they raiding?

I think it's the Transmash Research Institute.

That Stepan Kuzmich guy you mentioned...

He was the only one to visit Akulov.

He's the general director of the Transmash Research Institute.

Tsaunia resigned from that Institute, by the way.

Wait. Sivak, Oleinik and Radulov used to work security at that same Institute.

Yes.

Senya went there.

The circle is closed.

It's a raid, Zhenya. A raid.

This is not fair, Lida.

I invited you, and you're refusing to drink cocktails.

Brazenly drinking tea.

Alright, I'll try to drink it less brazenly.

Lida, what happened?

I could tell by the sound of your voice.

Nothing happened. Everything's fine.

Yeah right. That's why you are sitting here thinking about something...

Not even drinking.

Who's not drinking, I'm not drinking?

I'm drinking.

- Yura won't be drinking? - No, he is at home today.

We are taking turns babysitting Yarik. The patriarchy has ended.

His son will stop recognizing him soon.

Between you and me, I've decided to return to work. It's a secret.

I understand.

Well, spill it.

Andrey proposed to me.

Wow...

- What did you tell him? - Me?

I'll spend some time with you...

And then just go home to watch cartoons.

No way, the night is still young.

I don't know which Institute is getting raided.

Why do you think there's a raid in the first place?

They've been buying shares like crazy, Gena.

The only thing left to do is to hold a meeting of shareholders.

Or maybe they had it already.

So you don't know which one is getting raid.

No, we don't.

Well, what do you suggest, Albert Bagratovich?

You see, Gena, we need time we don't have.

How much?

Well, 3 days, 5 days, a week, but there's no time.

I suggest tightening the security at all 3 objects.

Simultaneously.

In the meantime I'll gather the necessary information.

On what basis, Alik?

On the basis that someone is buying the shares?

Is it not enough, Gena?

- Do we have anything to lose? - We have nothing to lose.

Except we don't really have time or people, you said it yourself.

No problem, Gena.

I can make it look like a standard security audit anyway.

Andrey Yakovlevich Paul will help me, no problem.

- Wait, wait... - No, Gena.

Wait.

We have to think.

We don't have enough information.

We have enough.

Clear the way.

Hey, what's going on here?

- Some kind of a hiccup, I don't get it. - Well, do something.

- Are there cops inside, too? - Yes.

They were ordered to strengthen the security at the facility.

It's temporary.

How long will it last? How many are there?

20 men, everyone armed.

Also, they don't follow my orders.

Who's in charge?

- I don't know! - Well, figure it out!

You'll find it out by morning, do your job! And keep your phone close, go!

Well, Antonov, your grand plan seems to have failed, from what I see.

What do you have to say about it?

I think it's too early to bury me yet.

Oh, we'll find time to bury you.

Gennadiy Pavlovich...

Do you have something to say to me?

I don't understand, what are you doing here?

Have you gone mad? Someone might see us!

Hey, what are you waving your arms around for?

Are you some kind of a fan? I'll break them!

No, let's just talk some place else.

Everyone can see us here.

I don't care who sees us.

Tell me, why did some jerks with machine guns invade our facility?

- Let's talk in the car at least. - Are you being watched?

No?

Well the, explain, who are those people?

They strengthened the security.

They are cops from the nearest stations. 20 men.

- Who sent them there, Gena? - Me.

- I did it. - You?

I just don't understand it.

What was I supposed to do?

I've received information about the upcoming raid.

You need to clean up your act!

You got 3 days to finish the operation.

5 days at most.

What operation? Are you nuts?

What's wrong with you, Gena, there's 20 armed men there!

I don't know, it's not my problem. You have to do it fast, you got it?

Plus they probably don't know anything.

They don't know the location.

They strengthened the security at 2 other Institutes.

I told you everything I know.

Sorry, there's nothing more I can do.

Move your car.

Sure.

You hear that? What a dumb jerk.

It was him who sent the pigs there.

What did he say?

We got 3 days, 5 at most. And there are 20 gunmen waiting for us there.

Calm down, calm down.

- 3 days, you say? - Yeah, 3 days.

I got one idea, perfect for this occasion.

Lieutenant Tyomin speaking.

Explosives were placed at the Central square. UAZ-21.

You better hurry up.

See, and you were afraid.

Welcome.

It's alright, the bailiff is here.

There are no cops in the building, they all vanished.

- What about the connection? - There's no connection.

Great. Meet the guys and close the gate.

Fine.

Let's go, I'll show and explain everything.

Two minibuses and a few cars have entered the Transmash facility.

The guards allowed them in.

Thank god, we were getting worried.

- Can you explain what's happening? - Raiders.

These raiders have been pressuring Transmash for 6 months already.

Transmash owns a lot of property, even on the coast.

The minority shareholders began selling their shares.

At one point someone took over the Transmash Research Institute.

That someone is colonel Akulov.

That night colonel Akulov sent Oleinik, Sivak and Radulov to a showdown.

The showdown with the raiders was short but very serious.

The raiders backed off.

That's when our favorite Antonov entered the stage with a proposal.

"You want to get rid of Akulov? No problem."

Yes, Yura, that's what he said. That's what he did. Remember Guseinov's store?

Akulov was placed under investigation as a result of our

brilliant operation, but that wasn't enough for Antonov.

He wouldn't be Antonov if he didn't take advantage and

put on a show with those records from Guseinov's store.

I'm talking about you and Semyon.

He slapped us to prevent us from digging deeper.

But we kept digging and digging and what did we achieve?

The security was strengthened!

He, of course, switched to plan B.

A distraction? But how?

It's simple. The police received an anonymous call with a bomb threat.

That's it.

All their forces went to the square, including...

...the guards from the Institute. The gates were open.

So why are we sitting here?

Who's sitting here?

Are we sitting here, Andryusha?

We've already left.

Where are you going to?

Sit here.

Or, rather, go visit Bahrushev at the hospital.

- What hospital, Alik? - Just a hospital.

That's an order.

- Hello. - Hello.

- The facility is closed. - What happened?

What do you need?

We need to talk to those young men. Yeah.

Call them on the radio.

- I'm not supposed to do that. - Do it anyway. Do it.

Tell them there are people from the Internal Security Department here.

Come on.

There are...

Yes.

Two guys from the Internal Security Department.

- What do they want? - They want to see you.

Be there in a second.

- Hello. - What do you need?

We are operating within the law.

That's great, that's how it should be.

We are also operating within the law.

I have a message for you here.

Please.

Yeah, that's the situation.

Someone tried suing the Institute. The court accepted it.

But dear god, it's being sued for 1000 roubles and 22 copecks.

- Well... - People are so greedy now.

Impossible to work with them.

You can't sell or buy anything until we are done with this.

The property is seized, you can't do anything with it.

Yeah, such greed...

I wonder who could be that petty.

Bagrationovich, oh, right...

God, I didn't even notice my own name.

You can keep this paper, put a stamp on it.

Time for us to go, have a nice day.

Shall we go?

Wait, where are you going?

I'm going home.

Dear Senya, sit down, please.

Back off, both of you!

Senya, they'll turn the lights off in a minute and we'll go celebrate.

With some tea.

Pochemukin is done checking Semyon Bahrushev.

He got zero results.

And as for inspector Kulik, Semyon Bahrushev is no longer

a suspect in the murder of Guseinov, he is now a witness.

Knysh broke Guseinov's neck.

It'll be impossible to prove, though.

His involvement in our little adventure is also unprovable.

You're in the clear, that's what matters.

I don't care.

What?

- What's wrong? - What's so hard to understand?

I don't care about Kulik, about Pochemukin, about my work.

I don't care about you either.

- Yes. - It's over, you can go.

Well, here's to the extraordinarily pleasant ending of this case. Thanks.

Hurrah, hurrah.

- Hurrah. - Hurrah.

To us.

Did you know that Semyone turned in his letter?

I figured it out.

This story is kind of sad, Alik.

We got nothing on Knysh and Antonov.

I have a lot of questions.

I would be weird if you didn't have them.

Why was Lenya Ivanov attacked when we were watching Knysh?

Why didn't Akulov get touched when he got out?

Why was Zhenya followed when he was looking for Radulov?

Why did they find weed - that then turned out to be tea - in Tsunia's car?

Really, Gennadiy Pavlovich, why?

Whatever, let's just drink.

- Hurrah. - Hurrah.

Yeah, let's drink.

Here's to our success.

- To our wonderful success. - Hurrah.

To our wonderful success.

Hey... Sanchik.

Comrade captain, I'm convict Stepan Kolesnikov, article 159.

Released on parole.

Good evening.
