THE DEPARTED

Why is it so dark, uncle Pasha?

We save electricity.

Uncle Pasha is coming soon.

I'm here for you.

And there's someone else here.

And the funny thing is, it is true.

Something was amiss at the back of the stage.

And suddenly it dawned on me!

Coffins!

They are dead already.

I mean spiritually. Do you understand me?

Not even trying to.

But I do want to get how Filipp Yanovich could give you a key, being out of town?

He had given me the key before leaving.

And you couldn't say it right away?

Or scandal and escape are your favorite ways of discussion?

You were looking at me strangely.

I got scared I could become a suspect.

I shouldn't have lost my temper.

I'm sorry.

Can I sit down?

Yes, of course.

I may be stupid

but I don't get why would I suspect you?

Filipp Yanovich was very excited that day.

He behaved oddly.

He seemed to take leave of me for good.

At the end he even hugged me, shed a tear and said:

"Perhaps we won't see each other again".

Jesus!

Yes, that's what he said.

Why should I suspect you?

He hugged you, shed a tear.

- It happens. - Yes.

Although...

Yura!

Seva, you're on your own.

Filipp Yanovich was very busy lately.

He became secretive and irritable.

He didn't even attend Andrey Petrovich's birthday party.

- Yura, do you remember? - Were they friends?

They used to be,

but recently...

I'm telling you, his behavior became strange.

He started avoiding old friends.

I think he had got into trouble.

Something illegal.

He might get in touch with criminals.

And me...

I may be the last person Filipp Yanovich talked to before disappearing.

Look, maybe Snake determines nothing in fact?

Maybe we should talk to Dad first?

Bulletproof logic!

Rynda is a moron. I've no pity for him.

I'm throwing out pies and coming back.

They've got cold while you were hanging around for half a night.

But we can warm them up.

It won't be the same taste. Pies should be eaten right away.

Are you crazy? To waste food!

I'm going to rest in that room, Musa.

He worries about food!

Not about me?

I haven't cooked pies for years.

Bought fresh sour cream,

cow milk.

Quiet! You'll wake up neighbors!

You worry about neighbors. You worry about everyone!

I can tell interesting stories to their wives about these neighbors!

Quiet, you stupid cow!

- Hands off me! - Go home!

No.

Seva couldn't deal with thieves. He has clause 58, part two.

For them it's like a...

- Like a dishonour? - Yes.

It's below them.

What about Filipp Yanovich?

Is he a thief?

He's not like them, of course.

But formally he's a thief - a counterfeiter.

He used to draw bills when he was young.

Interesting.

Yuriy Borisovich, pardon me, but what were you in prison for?

The same clause as Seva had.

Who cares?

I care!

Have you heard the story about the Kremlin stars' disappearance?

Sure I have!

- I thought it was a legend. - Oh, no. It's a true story.

Yura was a famous magician.

- The most famous in the country! - No way!

Yes, Yura, don't argue!

He was invited to perform

at a birthday party to Kremlin.

So he made a show there! But he didn't explain how he did it.

Such secrets aren't welcome there.

I guess

it's time

for us to go.

Tomorrow's the rehearsal of sawing my daughter in half.

She still remembers my sawing her mom in half.

He doesn't like to be talked about.

The great one!

As many who were in prison with our clause.

Let's go home already!

But he's shy.

Thank you, comrades.

See you around!

Taras!

Can you hear me?

You can't fall asleep?

I'm starting.

The sun is rising, and you only starting to fall asleep!

Do you feel any pain?

No, I just can't fall asleep.

Just don't lie to me. Tell me the truth: where does it hurt?

I told you nothing hurts!

You're so scrawny, and can't sleep now.

I can sleep just fine!

Maybe you should visit a doctor.

There was a case in Lipkas.

A neighbor went into the yard at night, collapsed and died.

What the hell!

Where are you going to?

To fish. I'll be just in time for sunrise.

Yasha!

Yasha!

Stop, we have to talk!

What a scarecrow!

I was right

to have some dough left.

Well done, haven't I?

I've found out one thing in a book.

- Don't you lie! - I did read it!

Ex-prostitutes are the best wifes.

- Do you know why? - I don't know and don't want to know.

You read the wrong books.

There's an excellent series: "The Civil War heroes".

If you won't marry me, I'll go to prison!

Or I'll find an old woman to look after and live with.

I'll be a nurse in a hospital.

I should have done as Maya:

nobody knew what she did in Moscow.

He's still asleep.

Hey!

Hey, Nina!

Aunt Zoya, you know everything about everyone!

Where can I find Yasha Tsigan? He hasn't been home for a week.

Why do you need him?

He's just nearly killed me.

He went fishing before sunrise.

Then he came back, put on the uniform and went away again.

- Did he say something? - He said it wasn't my business.

He didn't even have breakfast.

I'm sure he's ill, Rodion Ilyich.

He just doesn't want to worry me.

We'll take him to a doctor.

Not to your Artur Andreevich, but to a real doctor that can heal people!

I see him saying: "Taras ill?

Don't make me laugh! If he is ill, I'm dead".

He's healthy as Hell.

Even healthier.

Masha,

just don't cry, please!

There's just a lot of work.

Got enough sleep?

I ordered two men on duty!

- Who is the second one? - Yashka Tsigan.

Where is he?

Filya went to bed, and so did he.

"There's not much to do for the two of us. I'll be back in a moment".

I didn't know.

Yes, I know, it's my fault. I can explain.

I did that for her, not for me!

She stood there so lonely, unwanted!

Dina, she's like a daughter to me.

I've made her with my own hands.

I have no one but her.

Filya, have you ever stayed in a nuthouse?

No.

Why?

There were no vacant rooms?

You should repeat this every night before going to bed.

Memorize:

"Daddy, it's so good that you are so kind.

Cause Snake is so angry with me.

He would cut my ear off,

if not for you.

Or even both of my ears.

Thank you, Daddy, that you exist".

Do you want to be tied to a chain like a mongrel?

No.

I'll pay off!

Of course, you will.

If you do something stupid again,

he will die.

And it will be your fault.

Did somebody recognize you?

In town.

On your way here?

Are you sure?

I was driving at night. There was no one there.

Nobody saw me.

I...

No, nobody saw me. That's for sure.

- Go away! Who are you? - Nadya, it's me, Nazar.

Don't lie!

- Put the chair down! - Go away!

- Hush! - Don't touch me!

I will scream! Don't touch me!

Go away!

Don't touch me!

Quiet, quiet!

- It's alright. - Does she have a fit again, Akimovich?

She doesn't recognize anyone, screams.

This have never happened before.

Are you here on business or what?

I think I should tell you.

He's gonna do some terrible things, and you'll have to deal with it.

Who?

Taras came and said that

Yasha Gypsy had tried to kill him.

What did he try?

Ladies Hostel N3. Strunyevo town.

Coming!

- Why breaking the door? - Where's Yasha Tsigan?

Put the gun down, you can shoot me.

Actually, no. The safety is on.

And now I can. Where's Yasha Tsigan?

Get up!

Shame on you!

Varvara, put on something!

Tsigan!

You went to bed late at night, didn't you?

Where did you leave the jalopy?

What are you mumbling there?

Give me some water.

You've had enough water. You are under arrest!

Remember singing:

"To jail, to jail"? Be happy now, you're going home!

- He wasn't here. - Are you sure?

I am. I'm here since morning!

Police.

Speak of the devil!

Talk louder! I can't hear you!

Well done, Taras, they'll honor you with an Order.

Taras!

Damn, what did he say?

He's arrested somebody, asked to send a car.

Where to?

Do you remember the house where "Chapaev" movie was shown?

Yes. Give me the key!

It's in the car. Why would I take it with me?

Stay on duty, I'll go alone!

It's a strange town for you. It'll be hard to find him.

I'll find him.

Don't worry.

I'll leave right after bandaging you.

I've spent the night at Musa's house.

Take off your shirt.

You've never told me

about your life in Moscow.

Is it that important for you?

Stop, stop!

Does it hurt?

Not now.

Wait for me, I'll come in the evening.

You won't.

What about bandaging?

No need to do it every day.

A man has been observed in Alexandrov, he was stalking Kolya Crunch.

There are news from Pereslavl: they were looking for Alknis.

They both were in prison here, for counterfeit money.

I'm afraid they can find Filya.

They won't.

- Filya's gone to his friend to Siberia. - They could've found him already.

That writer from Moscow wasn't a writer.

Who was he then?

God forbid!

Snake, son of a bitch, I'll kill him! It was his idea about money.

Wonderful!

"Half a glass in the morning, in the afternoon you're drunk again"

Don't be sad, Taras! It happens to everybody.

You got scared just like in the fifth grade, remember?

We'll see who got scared.

Five applications confirm Yasha was here that night.

Take off the handcuffs!

No, I like him this way more.

Outrage! They take an honest man to jail!

- Taras is the legitimate authority. - Keep quiet or he'll arrest you.

They don't care who they take. They just need to check mark.

I could expect it from anyone, but not from you, Taras.

Quiet!

Or I'll close your brothel too!

It's not a brothel. It's ladies hostel.

A free woman is free to choose sexual partners in a free country.

Our hostel - that was a real brothel!

It was Yasha Gypsy. I didn't tell anyone it was his cigarette butt!

We'll talk later.

- I thought it'd be better this way. - Why are you sitting here?

Hey Hat, slow down!

Taras was wrong. Here are the witnesses' testimonies.

Thank you very much for helping the investigation.

- To the car, quickly. - Do not rush me, Hat.

Quickly, I said!

Akimovich, Yashka got arrested!

You can't do anything now?

We have the arrangement.

If I find out that you hide something - I'll tear the arrangement into pieces

and put a piece into each of your 4 asses.

Fedya!

If he could he would have killed you yesterday.

They are like brothers with Rynda.

To me?

Yes, I want to know if you've decided something about me.

Yes, we have.

Rynda lives by corrupt principles.

He will leave the town.

You won't see him again.

Thank you, Snake.

Not me.

I don't solve such problems.

You did right having offered yourself instead of Rynda.

You acted like a man.

You can go back to Dasha now.

Live, raise children,

give birth to new ones.

Rynda is leaving, you owe us nothing.

You did not expect that?

I saw Yasha driving Filya's jalopy yesterday.

Found a cigarette butt.

- Just forgot to tell you. - You don't trust me?

Right, I'm a stranger here.

- Especially from Moscow! - That's not the point.

I had good intentions. Wanted to help.

What are we gonna do?

Where are we going to?

Taras?

Really, where are we going to?

- Get out! - Why?

I don't need your blood in the car.

- Taras! - What are you doing?

Have you read the latest anti-gang directives?

The communism builder moral code's annex?

"The builder of communism is obliged to eradicate banditry.

In a critical situation,

he has the right to declare the situation as critical,

delegating special powers, and to act according martial law"

Taras, don't do it!

He killed Grisha Gribov.

According to martial law you get shot!

It wasn't me! I didn't kill him!

Who killed him?

I don't know! I was in the car! Taras, please, no!

Taras, dearest, don't do it!

Where is Filya-watchman hiding?

Mom!

Mommy!

Mommy!

I'm in prison again.

The sun is shining not for me,

I'm in jail!

Frauds are at large walking around days and nights.

And sluts.

And sluts!

Yep.

Looks like we've overdone it with him.

- Is Yasha Tsigan here? - Not yet.

They put him in the car but didn't get to the police station.

Strange.

You should think about other stuff.

How much money is left to print for this batch?

3650 rubles.

What?

Nothing.

Work, Filya.

Work!

Now you're about to learn something that no one else knows in this town.

And shouldn't know.

There was the money reform in January,

and fake new money popped up in April.

High quality, almost like real money. A rookie can't make it.

- What has it to do with anything? - Learn to listen, Taras.

All we knew was only approximate area, a source of fake money:

north of Moscow and Yaroslavl regions.

We've decided to quietly probe all counterfeiters that had settled here.

Major Kozhedub, a writer Lugovoy by legend,

had come to Strunyevo.

He reported that he had connected with Revus through his ex-brother-soldier.

That's all.

Then silence.

Then I came here.

Special Department of Moscow Police. Special Operations.

No way.

Who told you that I couldn't be trusted?

Akimych?

Why Akimych?

Taras,

I must be sure that I can rely on you.

Pass the ball!

Pass!

Egor!

Trofim, where are you going?

Egor!

Have you come for good?

Go to play. Don't come into the house.

I have to talk to your mother.

Egor, wait, please,

I'm sorry, Egor.

Larisa is your daughter, he had just lied, honestly!

If only you could forgive me some day.

Dasha!

I don't love you.

I've never loved you.

I thought I could love you if we would live together.

I couldn't. I'm sorry.

I'm begging you, leave the house in the afternoon tomorrow.

I have to pack my things. I can't do it while you're here.

You guys had just one chance

to unmask Yasha Tsigan at once!

And you couldn't do it!

Because Yasha Tsigan isn't a cheap thug. He is a golden guy.

Golden noggin!

By the way, I was eating a barber while relocating, do you get it?

I'll make you eat other stuff.

What are you gonna accuse me of?

Taras, ban him knocking on window,

he can break it.

You, big-eared, were beaten at school not enough.

We accuse you of nothing, Yasha.

You're gonna die as a free man.

Trying to scare me again, chief?

You can go, but notice: we can reach you anywhere.

I want to pee!

Who's stopping you?

All of them are cheap and fear for their lives.

Slightly press them and they'd rat out their pals by dozens.

This one is kinda strong.

One thing he's right about.

We didn't make him to confess at once - it will be more difficult to do now.

But we'll manage.

Are we going to town?

No, Taras, we can't go to town now.

We are strangers on this celebration of life!

We'll wait for half an hour

and then we'll go to him.

He has to get scared that he can stay here forever.

Do you think someone from the police knew fake money was manufactured here?

Not Akimych!

You don't know what kind of man he is!

He needs nothing to himself, does everything for people.

People run to him for help. He always helps everyone.

I believe you, Taras!

Where are they?

I'm asking you!

It's the fifth time you are asking me.

I'm answering you for the fifth time: I don't know.

Where did they take him?

It's alright for that popinjay, but Taras is also there!

Snake.

Think he's come to us?

Is Akimych here?

He's sitting right here.

I need to talk to him.

So, what's the problem?

I'm sorry, Akimych, it's my fault.

It will never happen again.

Here's the whole gang.

Five people.

They produce counterfeit money.

As soon as I found it out -

I went immediately to you.

We have the agreement, don't we?

Filya didn't have money.

He borrowed it from Yasha Tsigan.

After the reform Yasha started pressuring him.

He had nothing to give.

"Then you'll have to print new money".

"No one else had done this,

we'll be the first to take the jackpot".

Gaunt. Cartoon.

Filya-watchman. Vovchik.

Here is the gang,

I see.

Yep.

Funny and horrible at the same time.

It's enough, guys, let's go to police!

No, Yasha, we're not going anywhere.

You've signed your own death warrant, having killed Moscow police major.

It's too much, chief!

A man from Moscow, writer Lugovoy.

Do you remember this name?

I see you remember.

You've guessed already he wasn't a writer at all?

Half of Moscow Homicide Division is gonna be here soon.

They'll get each and every one at once!

Not only servants like you and Fedya Marked.

But also Jew, Bynya, Chacha, Snake. All of you.

Whole your bestial gang.

No "Dad" will save you.

We know about Dad too.

So Yasha, you won't rat out anyone: we'll get them ourselves.

But you can help.

And your help will be counted.

I have the same question for you.

Where's Filya-watchman?

What's that for?

We're sending the batch.

It's not ready yet.

We'll send the finished part then.

No, wait. We had agreed on other terms.

It should be ready completely, then you would...

Filya!

Get out, you're getting in the way. Go, your Dina is bored standing there.

Go for a walk, have a ride.

Vovchik, you take a walk too.

I can help you.

We'll manage.

Go, go!

Warehouses at the factory.

Close to the forest, the farthest warehouse.

Filya draws bills, we guard.

Who "we"?

Don't you know everything yourselves?

Sorry, Yasha,

we haven't learnt your surnames yet.

Who else guards Filya besides you?

Vovchik.

Two of us, that's all.

Volodya Potapov.

Huge fellow!

Who's responsible for the fake money?

Jew?

Bynya?

Snake?

Snake.

Remember this, Hat!

You've promised: no one in our gang will know about me.

And if I lied to you? What would you do to me?

Be not afraid, Yasha!

Everyone will forget about you in a week. I promise.

Alright.

Enough with the talking.

- Let's go. - And me?

And you sit and think.

To make you the new biography,

a new passport, to equip you at a new place.

It's a very serious work.

You're not worthy of this now. We had known everything you told us.

I swear I know nothing more!

Think harder!

Don't touch anything here, please!

Sit down, you morons! And don't touch anything!

Thrush, what boxes are these?

Snake told to keep 'em here for now. Some documents.

And them?

They'll stay here.

Why?

If you fall asleep, who's gonna be on duty?

Why humiliating me?

Two morons.

So, sit here, do not go anywhere!

If someone leaves, you will be asked for it!

- When will my shift be over? - Later.

Thrush!

- Why so many people? - To strengthen the guard.

Why the hell?

- Something's wrong, isn't it? - You're asking too many questions.

Five meters - don't go further from the warehouse.

If someone leaves, you will be impaled. You know Snake!

Are these warehouses far from the town?

No, they aren't.

Ten kilometers to Kryslovka - and you can see the roofs.

But from that side you have to go round the town.

"The ice is about to break, dear jurors!".

And what will happen to Yasha?

We'll tell he ratted out Filya under pressure.

Then we came to the warehouses and he ran away.

Will he stay here?

Of course, he won't!

We'll get everything he knows out of him,

then we'll shoot him to hell.

Let's go!

Do I look like a person who can shoot that jerk in cold blood?

Let's finish the operation,

which half of the operational staff of Homicide in Moscow is working on -

then we'll think what to do with Yasha.

Let's go, Taras, it will be dark soon!

Mom, get up! Larisa is crying, she's hungry.

Mom, get up!

What's wrong?

Mom, get up.

Artur Andreevich!

Everything you've heard today, Taras,

is classified information.

No one should know it.

Not Masha, not Akimych.

Is Masha a suspect?

- Is she connected with criminals too? - She can blab it to someone who is.

Not on purpose.

Because of the imperfect nature of the female brain.

- What? - Nothing.

If you're not agree -

argue, discuss, defend your point of view!

So you think the female brain is perfect?

When will you go back to Moscow?

I could leave tomorrow, actually.

We'll close the fake money channel - that's all, the task is done.

But I'd like to stay longer.

I would love to bring to the surface the whole of your criminal "company".

What "company"?

Tricky, disguised.

That Dad leads.

And who is this Dad?

I don't know.

And this is the main thing we have to find out.

I'm just thinking:

Yasha is gone.

What if there's an ambush there?

You shouldn't have started to think.

People are bolder

when they don't think.

Don't be scared, Taras!

I'll go alone, you stay in reserve.

That's not what I meant!
