THE STORM

You, come here. I told you to find out why Krukov was released, did you?

Yes. All charges were dropped due to lack of evidence.

There is a travel ban at least, I hope?

- No, they just let him go. - Damn!

How could anyone just let him go?!

Why are you yelling at him, Yuri Borisovich?

Ask your friend, he was the one who released Krukov.

Screw this friend. I'll kill him when I see him. What have we been doing this for?!

Those clown are on TV, too! That peacock first, then Krukov.

He has connections, it was clear from the beginning.

Somebody will go to jail, don't worry.

Put a travel ban on Krukov, fast.

I don't have time for that! You assigned me the murder on the waterfront yourself.

- Is this a drunken fight? - Maybe...

Work on your priorities! The fight or Krukov! Who is free now!

- Got it, I'll do it now. - Screw you all. I work for nothing.

- Do it fast, you hear me? - I will!

(Speaking German)

Excuse me, what are you waiting for? Are you going to admit the patient?

Unfortunately, we can't. We haven't received any money.

It may be some bank error, but anyway, we didn't get the transfer.

That is why we cannot admit her.

Wait, I don't understand. You can't admit her?

Correct. We are sorry, but we can't. These are the rules.

What are we supposed to do? Go back to Russia?

Unfortunately, we can't help you.

We came all the way here for my mom's surgery. Please help us find a solution.

Could you take her now, and I'll resolve the money issue?

I'm sorry, that's impossible.

That is ridiculous! What are we supposed to do?!

Don't fight, that's useless. I'll take care of it, just wait a bit.

OK. German bastards!

Could you talk later? We are almost done here.

Hello, Varya! Are you there?

Sergei: What happened? Marina? Doctor: Lie down!

No, Mom is fine. Something's wrong with the hospital.

I don't know why, but the doctors say they didn't get the money.

The first part of the money. That's why they can't admit her.

We're just standing here like idiots and have no idea what to do.

Valya, calm down. I'll take care of it all now.

- Is Marina nervous? - She is menacingly silent.

That's even worse.

Alright, calm down now.

It's OK. I'll fix it right away.

Here, careful...

The number is currently unavailable, please, call back later

You shouldn't move.

Every movement could cause a bleeding. Do you understand?

Sure. I'll do as you say.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

- Hi! - Hi. What took you so long?

- What's wrong with you? - Some virus...

- Got something to drink? - Sure, in the kitchen.

Isn't 10 in the morning a bit early?

For you it's 10 in the morning, for me it's lunch time.

You shouldn't go to work today.

- I won't. - That's right. You are useless today.

Receiving money for this is embarrassing.

How did it happen? Why did you let him go?

I didn't. The prosecutor did.

Officially, yes. But I'll never believe you decided not to fight.

Didn't you have any evidence?

I had a lot of evidence, but prosecution didn't accept any.

How's Marina?

She's fine, thanks.

On her way to Germany.

Why did you come?

I just don't understand. Isn't that recording an evidence?

What recording?

The recording you took from the engineer's wife.

Did you file it with the case?

There was nothing to file.

So the prosecution hasn't seen it?

Have a look if you want.

I do.

Plug it in.

Listen, you look bad. Should I call an ambulance? The virus could be dangerous.

No, it's fine.

We would have never passed any construction assessments.

All our materials were of the lowest quality. We are all criminals.

The assessment was paid for. I was there.

We presented the building unable to withstand...

- Is that it? - Yep.

What's this nonsense?

- Looks like it was cut. - A hundred percent.

So it didn't work as evidence, you see.

Won't you pick up?

I'll call back later.

You have a second phone?

Yeah... It's for private matters.

Yura, dear, I don't feel well at all.

My mind is so foggy.

OK, I'll leave you be.

- I'll take this, OK? - Sure.

OK, bye.

Take a shoe horn.

- Get better. - I will.

Where are you? Is it done?

It's OK, I'm lying low for now.

Incoming call: Varya

- This way! - Thank you.

How may I help?

I am Alex. You got a call about me.

No, I don't remember any such thing.

I am here about this patient from Russia.

We were unable to admit her because we didn't receive any money.

Don't worry, I brought the money.

Excuse me.

Money!

What are you doing? Put this away!

No, it's for Marina. For her surgery. Please take it.

That's not how it works. It should be a bank transfer.

We should receive an official payment for the surgery, do you understand?

I understand. But we can't make a bank transfer, we can only pay in cash.

Please, take it.

Why can't you transfer it?

We have some problems with that.

What sort of problem? I don't understand.

Look. Just take the money.

Transfer some of it through the bank and keep the rest. For your services.

Huh?

I give you more money than the surgery costs.

You pay for the surgery by a bank transfer and keep the difference in cash.

Are you insane?

No.

You are trying to bribe me.

Not at all! You misunderstood. It's out of gratitude for your help.

It's out of the question. Leave.

Listen, Marina is outside right now.

She's in critical condition. She's dying, do you understand?

I do understand. But according to our clinic's rules,

we can admit a patient and prepare them for surgery only after we get the money.

Do you understand?

I do.

Fine, but what if I give you 30 percent of what the surgery costs?

You can take it right now.

It will stay between us.

What do you think now?

- Well? - Nothing. He doesn't pick up.

We can't stay here forever. Marina, let's make a decision.

Varya, why doesn't he pick up?

How am I supposed to know?

Let's find a hotel nearby and get a room.

Could you take us to the hotel?

Mom, that's nonsense!

I'll try to talk to them again. Calm and polite.

This doesn't make sense.

Everything has been sorted out. We are admitting Marina right now.

Thank god!

Mom, why did Agatha say she's not coming?

Mom?

Why isn't she coming? She is, we all are.

You, me, Agatha.

No, Mom, I'm not going.

- Sweetie... - I'm no freaking sweetie!

- Agatha, watch your language. - Watch it yourself.

Semen, you know, I'm not going anywhere.

I have a lot of work in the funds... And I just don't feel like relaxing.

You go alone, OK?

We are a family, and we'll go together.

You, Agatha... You can't get out of it.

- Can you answer my question? - Sure.

What did you expect when you were constructing that building?

You, too!

You didn't want it to happen?..

I'll tell you this. European materials became very expensive because of sanctions.

We bought cheap ones in China. They weren't even that bad.

We did it many times before, and nothing happened.

Who could have thought there'd be so much snow?

Why couldn't you have bought expensive ones?

Because we wouldn't have won the tender and gotten this huge commission.

And stolen so much money.

Exactly.

I'm not going anywhere with you. And neither are Mark and Agatha.

I'm not asking you. You do what I say.

Thanks.

- Hi. - Hi.

- Is he home? - Yes.

Come in.

- Hi. - Hi, Grisha.

I have bad news. I was just at the Prosecutor's office.

They suspect you of killing the engineer. Like I thought.

Why is that?

Because you have a motive.

So we're in a tough place again. Homicide is handling the case.

- What do they have on me? - Nothing.

Our friend kept his word. No old evidence resurfaced.

But they can't let you go for some reason.

What should I do?

Not much now. Return the tickets and stay home. We'll figure it out later.

I see.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Are you waiting for me? - No. Gradov.

Gradov won't be here till the 26th. I am acting in his stead. What did you want?

No, I... Do you know where he lives?

I'm sorry, I can't tell you.

Come in. What is it you wanted?

No, thank you... Goodbye.

- Goodbye. - Goodbye.

Your assistant said you'd have a sitter. Where is the sitter?!

There won't be any.

I don't even know how you managed to open the door in your condition.

How long were you unconscious?

It's not a joke, do you understand?

There's nobody here, and at a certain point I just won't be able to save you.

Are you done with your procedures?

Listen, give me the key. So that I could enter if you are unable to open the door.

There's no need, it's OK, thanks. See you tomorrow.

- Thanks. - That's madness...

I'll be right back.

Hi! How's the room?

Hi, Serezha. It's fine. Everything's OK.

The doctor came, made some tests.

I don't know yet when the surgery is. Soon, I think.

How's Marina?

She is in a lot of pain. She is silent, looks right through me.

Let me talk to her.

Serezha, she doesn't want to. Do you understand?

Is she sleeping?

- No, she doesn't want to talk. - Give her the phone.

Shit...

Give her the phone!

OK, wait a second.

Mom, will you talk to Serezha?

Marina, dear, hello!

Yes, Serezha, hi!

I don't see you.

Hold the phone so that I could see you.

No, it's OK this way.

- Mom, I could hold it... - Varya, leave, please.

Marina, why are you like this?

I miss you.

I want to see you.

Marina, dear. Honey.

Marina.

Let's just talk then.

But I'm tired. I need to sleep.

Marina, it'll be OK.

You'll have your surgery and start to recover.

And then come back.

And have a very long life.

With me.

Hello, Ilya! Do you know anyone in investigation?

You said you did.

Yes, what do you need?

I need to find one investigator's address.

His home address. Could you help?

Hmm... I'm not sure. I'll ask. Who is he?

Gradov Sergei Mikhailovich.

I know the street already,

but not the house or apartment.

- Damn. - Did you recognize anyone?

No.

Get all CCTV-footage for that day. We need to identify the person killed.

OK.

If you hear me now, know that he killed me.

Later I found out about his man.

This is Morgulis Mikhail Efimovich.

I found out that he got all the stolen money. He's the boss.

I also found out that he has his own pharmaceutical business.

They develop expensive, highly specific drugs...

You are a frequent guest!

How's your stab wound? Hurts?

Why do you ask? Of course it hurts.

- Why didn't you tell me? - Had no time.

Did you find the corpse?

Serega, do you realize I should arrest you now?

- If you should, go on. - Damn, he's still kidding.

What the hell was that, can you explain?

I don't know, maybe some junkie

was looking for some money.

Stop lying to me.

Yura, Marina went to Germany. I didn't want to be home alone, so I went for a walk.

That's it.

- Have you seen him before? - No.

- Did he have any ID? A phone, maybe? - He didn't have any.

He wanted to kill you, do you understand?

It shows on the video, too. And you say it was a junkie.

Who else, Yura?

We'll find that out.

I wonder how you didn't die there.

- Who picked you up, by the way? - A friend.

- What friend? Do I know him? - No, you don't.

So we have been friends for 25 years, and I don't know this friend of yours?

It's possible, Yura.

Don't you trust me?

- You should have called me right away! - Leave it, OK?

It was an attempt on your life, do you realize that? I'm fed up with you hiding.

Either you tell me everything now, or I arrest you.

No ultimatums, OK? Arrest me if you must. Just don't shout.

I don't believe you anymore, got it?

I need to think. Stay home and get better.

Exactly what I'm doing.

I have no idea what you're doing.

- Hello! - Hello!

Come in.

- Oh, hi, Serega! - Hi!

- What's wrong with your arm? - Just a sprain.

- Lena, hi. Thanks for waiting. - Hi!

Listen, find out who these numbers belong to for me.

- People? - People, connections, calls, everything.

For how long? A month?

Since they were registered.

I understand that it's a personal request? No registration?

No, no registration.

Fine. I'll call you.

No, don't, I'll come visit tomorrow, OK?

- OK. - Bye.

I'm sorry I'm late.

- Congratulations on your release. - Thanks.

Turn your phone off.

- You are a suspect? - Yes.

That's bad, Semen. We can't work together anymore.

I understand, Misha.

- Did my name come up? - No, not at all.

What do they have on you?

There's this recording.

The engineer filmed himself talking about the construction.

The truth about it.

And he points at me directly.

- Points? - He says if he's dead, Krukov killed him.

Where's this recording?

We destroyed the original.

But I think Gradov made a copy to continue blackmailing me.

- Who killed him? - Gradov.

- Gradov? Are you sure? - Absolutely.

Why would he kill a witness who knows so much?

He tried to extort a bribe. We refused.

Then he killed Markin and got this recording.

He needs to be taken care of, Semen.

- I'm working on it, Misha. - So go and work on it.

Maybe you killed him? To make sure your name won't come up?

Are you mad?

- Yes. - Yuri Borisovich, there's this thing.

We were watching the CCTV footage and came across this.

Have a look, you'll like it.

- Is it about the engineer? - No, other thing. Have a look.

Damn! What is this? One more time!

- An attack? - What's this shiny thing in his pocket?

A knife?

It doesn't look like a gun.

Order this video's assessment.

On what ground? Is it connected to the murder?

It's not. Go order it, say I requested it. And keep quiet, got it?

- Should we look for this guy? - You should.

- Would you like a salad, too? - I don't know yet. Just coffee for now.

Jenya.

It's OK, I'm just not hungry.

- Jenya. - What is it?

Do you remember the day you came to me and I wasn't alone?

Yes.

You wanted to tell me something important.

No, it's nothing.

I'm sorry I came without notice, OK?

Something happened that day, didn't it?

Why would you think that?

You recognize somebody?

No.

I'm sorry. You came to me and I told you to leave. Were you afraid?

Yes.

I'm such an idiot. Don't worry, I'll find this bastard, you hear me?

I do.

Come here.

Serezha, there's a current here!

Are you just going to sit there? What are you doing? Filming me?

It's unfair! Stop it!

- Marina! - Huh?

- Say something. - What?

I don't know.

What are you doing? Wait! Wait.

Stop it already!

There's a current here!

Are you filming me?

What are you doing?

Excuse me, I'm so worried.

The surgery is taking so long. Is my mom OK?

I can't tell you anything now. The doctor will talk to you later.

Have a sit over there and wait.

Hi, Varya, you called! What's up?

Is she in surgery?

Varya, the surgery is 5 hours at least.

Don't worry. Calm down, OK?

OK, bye. Call me later!

OK, bye.

Both numbers are registered to one person. Akhmed Rustem Georgievich.

Both were registered 5 days ago. There were no calls first two days.

They talked on the third day for 30 seconds.

On the fourth day, two days ago, somebody else called one of the numbers.

And then the first two talked again.

Same thing happened yesterday. But first Rustem called Rustem,

that's the only way to put it, and then called the third number.

- And the third number? - I checked it.

There's no last name, but it's a corporate number. "Stroiservis" ltd.

It's the daughter company of Krukov's "Mechta."

"Stroiservis."

Cute.

Lena, thanks a lot.

Thanks.

Listen, tell me. Am I bugged?

As far as I know, no.

I have a favor to ask.

If you find out that I'm bugged, text me something stupid.

- What, for example? - "Cookie."

No. "Little cookie." OK?

Thanks, bye.

- Hi. - Hi, Pisareva.

- What are you doing here? - Decided to surprise you, pick you up.

- Really? Will you guard me now? - Well, not "guard."

Wow.

Can't I drive my woman home from work?

- You can. - So that's it.

My place?

- Sure. - Great, let's go.

Gradov, just don't be scared.

- You ready? - Sure.

OK.

Here.

- Are you there? - I am!

Varya, is she breathing?

Quiet! Of course she's breathing. This is her usual face for the last 3 days.

Bring it closer, I want to hear hear breathe.

- Gradov, be quiet! - Yes, sorry.

Let me hear her breathe.

Breathe, honey.

Keep breathing, my darling.

Sergei Mikhailovich, hello!

Hello! Never thought I'd catch you.

You did. So?

Just wanted to look you in the eyes after all that.

- Satisfied? - Yes. How I could have believed you?

You are all bastards. All of you.

How do you live with all this rot inside?

- Excuse me, I need to go. - No, you don't!

You promised me. Personally.

You promised me.

Yeah, didn't work out.

He bought you all. You didn't even try.

You in your departments and committees... It's all vice versa with you.

Killers are free, innocent people are in jail.

That's how it works with you!

I can't even hit you. You will arrest me, won't you?

I will.

You bastard.

Good afternoon, Marina. I'm Andrea Kraft, I specialize on Hepatitis C.

- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you, too.

Marina, I've studied your medical history and...

Will you let me be honest with you?

Absolutely. Please do.

Well, the liver transplant was successful, but it's just the first part.

Your virus is special. It is different from the others.

The relapse can be extremely quick.

You could think you feel fine, but your condition could become critical in 2 weeks.

That's the reality of it, unfortunately.

We could offer you treatment that will be effective against your virus.

Can you tell me about this treatment?

It's a course of hormones, a complicated and perilous one.

Why is it complicated?

Well, talking about statistics, 35 percent experience CNS complications.

26 percent experience severe pain.

14 percent have their brain affected.

They get suicidal thoughts, are unable to work and communicate with their family.

Patients getting this treatment often develop personality disorders.

It's a very difficult decision to make, I need to warn you about the consequences.

How long is the treatment?

At least 6 months, and then we judge by the results.

Do I have to be here all this time?

No, you can stay at home.

How successful is this treatment?

People who finish the course experience a long remission.

The virus becomes dormant.

There are also online communities where people share their experience.

They could help.

I need to think about it.

Yes, of course. I understand. It's a hard decision, as I've already said.

You have to be aware of the consequences.

I suggest e-mailing the course description to your daughter

so that you could discuss it and make a decision together.

Please let me know when you decide.

- Thanks you. - Thank you.

- Good luck to you, goodbye. - Thank you.

What do you mean she's hesitant? It's not about wanting or not!

- Be strict with her. - The doctor said it's very dangerous.

It's impossible to make her unless she wants it herself.

Varya, nothing is impossible. You want your mom to live, right?

- Of course! - Me too!

You are with her now, nobody else. Make her agree to this treatment.

Easy for you to say!

Do your best, Varya.

- Will you come here? - No.

Why? You promised! She's waiting for you!

I can't. Bring her here. Alright, bye.

OK, bye.

We'll go to France on Christmas holidays, to the mountains, and I'll teach you.

I don't think I'll be able to, I'm still rather small.

You are fine! It's easy. Keep your legs parallel and bounce. I'll show you.

Will you teach me to snowboard, too?

That I need to first learn myself.

OK, sonny boy.

I'm tired, too. Good night.

Daddy, I want Mommy to kiss me, too.

OK, I'll tell her.

Go kiss our son.

Hi. I couldn't pick up earlier.

It's not done.

What do you mean? You guaranteed!

We can't work with you anymore. We lost our man.

And? You must finish the work! You simply must!

- It's dangerous. - And?

Let's find another man. Let's discuss another sum. The work must be done!
