Okay, you are working for me from now on.

Be ready tomorrow at 9, I'll pick you up.

They put you on the highway?

Yes.

How much time will he need to recover?

A month.

- Andrey Yakovlevich? - A month.

Hook him to IV, do whatever needs to be done!

Make up some story to return him there.

We need to get him back on track.

If he's lying, he already got a solid cover story.

We can spend a year checking him and not find anything.

Why did he leave this precinct?

Maybe he needed a change of scenery.

- Why did he divorce his wife? - Didn't know they split up.

Was he a drinker?

He once had like 150 gram and did some crazy stuff. Don't know how to explain...

- What do you mean? - He went on a drinking binge.

You went missing for 4 days.

In the meantime some Moscow bandits came here.

Are you sure you didn't pay them a visit? You could've told them about the OMON.

And now you're making a fool out of me, saying you don't remember anything.

I'm kidding.

Listen, I ran out of pills. I mean I'll soon run out of them.

- How? They gave you enough for a month. - It just happened.

Get me some more.

- We need to hold up the cargo. - What?

How are we gonna do it? Do you even know how much it will cost us?

Look at what they're doing. They opened a reception centre.

why did they pack all the cargo in less than 24 hours?

There were 15 men at that warehouse!

You really think they didn't know we were watching that warehouse?

The vans are on different highways. We gotta do something.

There is no cargo.

It's just flour.

Third grade flour, no need to worry about it.

Let's get to work. Zotov is our first priority, then the others.

DEPARTMENT

Here they are.

Deal with the escort first.

Our guy is behind the wheel, so be careful. Come on!

They put the workers on the bus. They're coming.

- Is the bus being escorted? - No.

- Security? - 2 sergeants.

Doesn't look like they are planning to kill them.

We won't be able to trace them.

- It can happen later. - It can't.

Cancel the operation.

- 1st team, cancel the operation. - 1st team here.

- Repeat your order. - Cancel the operation, 1st, over.

Roger, over and out.

Soldiers, abort.

Got it, got it.

I'm glad it's all quiet.

What did they say?

They got to the destination without any accidents.

Why didn't you inform me about the operation?

By the way, Zotov, huh?

Zotov!

Zotov!

Well, captain?

You're a minute and a half late, forget about the bonus.

Have a snack, Ilya Olegovich.

What's this?

Third grade flour, extra cheap.

What the hell?

Get used to it, they love these tests in our tight-knit team.

Between you and me, old man...

Sometimes I get a feeling it's all one big test.

Piss off.

- Zotov. - To hell with you all.

- Captain, where are you going? - I'm going home.

Let's celebrate!

Ilya Olegovich, come here.

Real Georgian wine.

Yeah?

Why is the label in French?

The label is in French, but the wine is Georgian. These things happen sometimes.

On the outside you act one way, as for what's inside of you - who knows...

You won't be drinking with us?

I don't want to.

He's upset with us.

You shouldn't be.

Holding grudges is bad for your brains.

We need your head to be clear now.

Listen, Zotov...

You weren't making trips down memory lane, right?

I heard you still owe money in that hotel.

I wasn't.

By the way, Zotov...

Did your ex-wife buy a new apartment?

What does she have to do with it?

Well, she's your wife and everything.

She was your wife, at least.

So your Tamara moved.

No idea, we don't talk to each other.

So do I have what it takes or not?

I'm tired of waiting.

See, Petya? You should learn to answer questions briefly and concisely.

Yes, Zotov, you have what it takes, if not more...

Tomorrow you're going to report to captain Ershov.

He'll brief you.

We'll be paying you visits, you won't get bored... Ilyusha.

Oh, I almost forgot the most important thing.

She's a beautiful woman. Take care of her.

I don't need this. Told you we don't even talk.

I don't need this either.

What if they kept the workers alive for the next time?

That's why they brought them back to the village.

They always killed them before, but not this time?

They are witnesses.

Why the hell are we here, then?

I just like it here.

I like peace and quiet, the air is fresh.

It's easy to remember. Call me captain Ershov or just Ershov.

Zotov.

Our workers with hands of gold live and pack the goods here.

When the shipment arrives, they are always ready to work.

About your task, Zotov...

While they are practicing their readiness, you'll be taking them to the city.

To their regular workplaces. Is it clear?

It is.

Let's go, I'll show you where you're going to live. It's not far.

You're going to live here.

If you need anything - let me know.

Any questions?

- Can I go to the city? - What for?

To pack my things.

You don't need anything. Everything is already here.

Make yourself comfortable.

I'll explain why Zelenov hasn't heard from Zotov yet.

Because this whole testing business is pure crap.

They were transporting the real stuff and got rid of Zotov.

Why get rid of Zotov if it went well?

- So instead of catching them all... - Right, catching them all.

We caught them and found some flour.

Smuggling flour products is punishable by death.

Imagine how their dope is spreading over the country right now.

All because of your...

Because of my what?

- Finish what you were saying... - Could you let me say something?

I think we'll have to find Ilya immediately. Either get him out or...

- Or they already put him down. - Shut up.

I'm listening, Lidia Sergeevna.

Or take him to his wife.

He was subconsciously preparing for this to be over.

I don't know whether it was flour or dope, it doesn't matter.

Nothing happened, that's what matters.

- Sure, that's what matters. - Will you shut up or should I help you?

Lidia Sergeevna.

What could he do in his current state?

Anything, he is very unpredictable.

He's upset because of frustrated expectations, like a child.

We failed to keep our promise. My suggestion is...

Night and morning satellite images are ready.

This is where Zotov's car got off the highway.

Along with the van.

This is when the van returned to the city.

Then another car pulled up there.

Wait, what is this?

It's a boarding house. About 5 km from there.

If Zotov entered the city, Zelenov would've noticed him.

Which means they took Zotov to the boarding house. That's where we have to look.

Hello.

Hi.

We're looking for work.

- What the hell? What work? - We want to work.

If there are people here, there's work here.

What happened?

- What was in the car? - Flour. It was a test.

- Is everything okay? - It's fine, Lesha, don't get up.

They keep the workers here.

- What are they going to do? - Did you bring the pills?

- No. What are they going to do? - I don't know anything about their plans.

There's no work for you, men. Get out of here.

Wait, what are you even doing here?

- They're seeking work. - I asked them, not you.

We're looking for work.

That's great. Let's go.

Come, come.

- What do I have to do? - You'll learn.

You better get out.

And bring me the pills!

So you just left him there?

What was I to do? Shoot everyone there?

Zhenya, this dark place is being controlled by the neighbors.

Nothing will happen to him.

What did Zotov tell you?

It was just a test.

After the operation they sent him to guard the workers.

He doesn't know anything.

By the way, Zotov is out of pills.

From what I seen, he's not feeling too well.

Alright, I see.

Any ideas or suggestions?

I think we need to get Zotov out of there, he won't last long.

What about some new ideas?

I told you, he needs to see his wife, at the very least.

That's impossible, Lidia Sergeevna.

If they are not planning to put Ilya on the highway...

We'll probably have to wait for another year, who knows.

Zotov won't last longer than a week. We'll be back at square one.

Does anyone have other suggestions or ideas?

I do.

Well, Petr is no more.

A sign.

A sign, a sign.

That's a sign.

Cancel the operation.

- Vadik, what do you think? - I don't think anything.

It's not a coincidence, though.

This explosion, the fact that the ISD is in town...

Lack of people.

That Moscow psychologist is also here.

She's making every suspect take the polygraph.

The goods must be packed and transported.

Don't you understand?

How can we transport the goods without Petr?

It's over, we're done for.

We gotta get rid of the damn cargo!

The goods must be packed and transported.

Any other questions, comrade general?

I have a question.

I have one... Don't you dare speak to me like that, scum!

Yes.

They lowered the casket.

May his soul rest in peace.

Valeriy Kuzmich, this is your Makarov, right?

We're standing at a crossroads, comrade general.

Just like in russian fairy tales. But we only have 2 options instead of 3.

We can either transport the goods or not.

We are either remembering Petr today or...

Petr.

I'm so glad.

Now we can drink like civilized men.

To you, comrade general.

The ceremony was beautiful.

The portrait looks solid.

Did they put his medals on a small pillow?

He didn't deserve it?

They could've fired their rifles at least.

The roads, the codes, the backup codes, the escape routes...

That's great, but I don't know anything.

What can a dead man know? You miscalculated.

Get up, please.

Have a sit.

Let's start over.

The roads, the codes, the backup codes, the escape routes...

Zotov.

Ilya, how do you manage to buy vodka in the middle of nowhere?

You can find vodka anywhere.

Anywhere?

Petr died, you heard?

It happens.

Zotov.

Sit here, please.

Listen, Ilya...

If you want to go on a binge, just say so.

But say it now.

I don't want to.

Fine, let's say I believe you.

I got a job for you.

An interesting one.

- I'll need you in the evening. - I want to see my wife.

- But you split up. - You just have to know anything, yes?

Damn psychologists...

Always sticking your noses where they don't belong.

Yes, I wan't to come back, what's so weird about it?

I thought you don't know her new address.

I lied to you.

Lying to your seniors is very bad, Zotov.

We're all people, can't you understand me?

Huh?

I understand you.

Ershov.

Here's the plan.

Captain must go take a shower.

Don't let him out of here. I'll be back in the evening.

Got it.

You will be responsible for monitoring the ones under house arrest. You personally.

- I have to watch all 53 of them? - That's right.

The polygraph results are not looking good for some of them.

And I'm very much looking forward to...

Following the trail to the very top.

What are you trying to say?

You understand me, general.

See you soon.

Are you alright?

- Really? - Yes.

- Missed me? - I did.

I missed you so much.

I am not letting you get away again.

So they left? Did they take anyone with them?

No.

Everyone's under house arrest.

Now what?

The cargo is at the station.

- Listen, it's not too late... - It's too late.

Zotov will work on the highway.

Ershov, yes.

What?

How could you let it happen, damn it?

Zotov escaped.

Dump the cargo in the river.

This is the end.

According to our information, the cargo is at the station.

I wonder, what are they going to do?

They don't have enough men.

No Pavliuk, no one to work on the highway.

I'd dump it all in the river.

I have no doubts about that.

But they are counting money, Zhenya. We are talking millions.

I think they'll replace him with someone.

- With whom? - With Zotov.

I'm listening.

What?

Where?

Bring him here this instant.

- They found Zotov. - Where?

At his wife's.

Are you completely insane?

The shipment is arriving tonight!

Everything was set, why the hell did you run away?

- Zhenya! - What?

Do you hear me, Ilya?

Do you want to ruin everything right now?

We even left the city to calm them down.

What're you doing?

Guys, I'm begging you, let me go.

I'm asking you, guys... Please, is it so hard for you? I'm begging you!

- I can't do it anymore. - Ilya.

Ilya!

Damn it.

Now I get it. You're all in the same gang, right?

You're in this together.

Why didn't I realize it earlier... Fool...

I'm such a fool...

Do you like it?

Zhenya!

They pay you enough, Albert Bagratovich?

I can talk to them, ask them to raise your pay.

- What is this nonsense? - Bastard...

You dragged me into this.

You sent me there to watch over your accomplices.

You're a jerk too.

"We will catch them, we'll lock them up."

Yeah, sure!

- Ilya! - We need a doctor!

What if we ignore tha house arrest nonsense?

Out of the question.

But who's going to watch the highway?

- Who'll escort the cargo? - We will.

Me and Vadik.

Vadik...

Ilya, it's just one more day.

A few hours.

I know.

If we cut off this supply channel...

If we completely annihilate their operation...

Life will be much safer.

The drug problem in central Russia will decrease immensely.

We'll save thousands of lives.

I know.

It's not a choice. It's our job.

Our duty.

I don't like big words, but it really is our duty.

Theirs, too.

Everyone wants to make life better.

Lidia Sergeevna, who are you trying to persuade?

Me or yourself?

That's what I really think, Ilya.

We wasted enough time, let's go.

Alik, what are we doing?

They unloaded the railcar at the station.

Are they moving the cargo?

Two vans have left the station. They are also bringing the workers there.

We can do it without Zotov.

It'll be difficult but possible.

Alik, what are we doing?

They are taking it to the hangar at the polymer factory.

Right... Yeah.

He's ready to go.

Great, he'll help us synchronizing the operation.

Let's not waste time on flour.

- He shouldn't do it, though. - Why?

He just shouldn't.

Zhenya.

He will increase our chances to bust the whole chain.

Enough.

Let him go if he can.

Yes, got it.

It's time.

He won't make it alone.

- He can take the helicopter. - No.

That's too risky.

It'll be a great ride. You'll like it.

What's wrong?

Nothing, it's just that...

Vaska is having these issues again...

I can't leave him alone.

Take him with you. Some fresh air will be good for him.

Go get him.

He's outside in the car.

Go and wait in the car, then. Ilya will be there soon.

Now what's wrong?

We need to see a doctor. I mean Vaska.

We have time.

We have time. We'll put you two on the helicopter.

- Are you sure? - Absolutely.

We are. Just go.

Ilya.

Take care.

Good luck.

Zotov? Yes, hi, Ilya.

Will you be there at 1:30?

Awesome.

What highway are you on?

I see, what car?

Losenok's car?

Alright, we'll be waiting.

Later.

Get me Losenok's license plate number.

Why didn't they let you go alone, Ilya?

- Don't they trust you? - It's the opposite.

They trust me too much.

Some tough buy visited us a few days ago.

He was asking about you. I only said what Yura told me to say.

Where are we going?

Guys...

Let's stop the car and split off in different directions.

I'll just knock you down to make it look believable.

You won't see me again.

Are you an idiot?

You don't want to go there.

You don't.

Vaska doesn't want it either.

Come on.

Just run away, I'll keep going.

I'll return the car later.

Don't be dumb, Losenok, it's getting hot.

Damn, what does he want?

- Could you pull the car over, please. - We're friends.

- Pull the car over. - I told you we're friends.

Pull the car over

Damn it.

Traffic inspector captain Soloviev. Show me the ID, please.

Is this enough?

This is cute, but I want to see your license and registration.

Listen, we're in a hurry.

I'll just check the ID and you're free to go.

We met them, Sanzh Sanzhaevich, it's fine.

Did you meet all 3 of them?

We did.

Good. Alright, bye.

Over and out.

- Hello. - Hello, Vadik.

How are you?

I'm good, we're on our way.

All clear?

Hey.

Hello, Sanzh.

Hello.

Damn moron, what are you doing?

What are you doing, jerk?

Hey you, what's your problem?

I'll shove that finger of yours up your...

Do you want me to smash your head right now, moron?

Who taught you how to drive, tramps?

Who you calling tramps?

I'ma take you for a ride, slags.

Slags?

Malygin, you're under arrest.

We got Malygin. Get the cargo.

Time to work.

Come on.

Don't move. Get out of the car.

Hands behind your back.

All clear.

Move, move.

Assault team, continue the operation. I'm following a black BMW.

Roger.

Don't move. Hands behind your head!

Freeze!

Colonel Dadamian, the Internal Security Department.

You're under arrest.

Well, ran out of ammo?

Who'll notify his next of kin?

- Me. - Me.

I'll do it myself.

Do you need a lift?

I'll find my own ride.

Anyone coming with me?

Let's go.
