THE DEPARTED

Taras, why would you go to work? You're on sick leave. You should rest.

- Masha! - Alright, alright!

Can you say now, where you went last night?

Not yet.

Peter, can you do it faster? Why the whole can?

Peter, come here!

Go, take milk to Chaschins. Larisa must be hungry.

It's here on the bench.

Are you going to swing the cradle? Or are you going to gnaw a carrot?

Peter!

Give your brother his carrot back!

They've become completely spoiled.

That's what happiness means.

The children are running around, the husband is near.

Am I right, Masha?

What do you need?

I'm looking at you and think -

you are so lucky, Taras, with your wife.

She irons, washes,

misses her husband.

You have no one to talk to?

Go to the hospital to your husband. Talk to him.

Shame on you!

What is she talking about?

I don't know. Maybe she's crazy?

Good morning.

How do you like my cheesecakes?

You should add sour cream. It's so fresh.

Isn't it a little bit early for you to command here?

Is it instead of "thank you"?

I'm up from six in the morning.

If you don't like it - go away!

Or you can get fired.

Well!

Stop eating my cheesecakes!

Easy, easy!

- Ungrateful bastard! - It's called habit of working.

They say you were a Stakhanovite at work?

So, a Stakhanovite?

We'll see!

Thank you.

Akimych, wait!

Can we talk like men?

- And how did we talk before? - Don't carp.

Don't tell anyone that I wasn't in the hospital at night, alright?

Or Masha can find out.

What are you talking about?

That's it, Akimych, I swear. That was for the last time!

Masha's fellow-villager.

It was last year in Lipki. A romance began between us.

It won't happen again.

Just don't tell her, or she... You know her.

How could you?

Damn fool!

- Three children! - Oh, come on!

- It won't happen again. - Go to hell!

Don't run away from me!

- What's up Zachar? - Let's go, let's go!

Should have started your own farm already.

This whole town's my farm.

- How much longer? - You have to be somewhere?

It's for the new documents, isn't it?

For the Honor Board.

Look, put your gun down!

Where would I go now?

I wonder, who was Dad?

Who do you think it was?

Snake.

Jew from the tavern?

Fedya Marked.

Really?

- But he's stupid! - He just acted.

In fact he's a giant of thought.

He can multiply 7-digit numbers in his mind.

When we were taking him, he locked himself in the basement

and read "Eugene Onegin" by heart.

You lie to me.

There was no Dad.

They invented this evil uncle to give commands from his name.

I told you it was Snake.

He kept saying: "Dad said! Dad ordered!".

And if there was no Dad, he must be Dad then.

And I wanted to have a bet with Thrush for 10 rubles.

That's all. The walk is over.

Please, five minutes more!

Five more minutes, please!

If you were a spaniel, I'd have hunted a fox with you.

You've recalled nothing new. Why should I walk around with you?

You already know everything.

Not everything. Someone resisted and was killed.

Someone is still hiding.

We are just restoring the full picture of lawlessness so far.

Do you know about Musa?

- Musa is... - The head of the shooting gallery.

I think he was their messenger. He's got a transmitter.

A transmitter?

Yes, dots and dashes.

It led us to Yaroslavl bank. I was sitting in the pub.

Musa: "Where is Jew?".

He was sleeping, they woke him up,

discussed something with him.

After that they all went to rob Yaroslavl bank.

At 4 o'clock in the morning.

But I was in the car as always, I didn't rob it.

Well, it's not worth 5 minutes.

Alright, you have 3 minutes more.

Thank you.

As soon as Major Kozhedub didn't get in touch,

we sent Senior Lieutenant Stotsky here.

Under the guise of a simple operative.

Really?

The channel of counterfeit money is blocked,

but it's still not clear what happened to Major Kozhedub.

Senior Lieutenant Stotsky will stay here and try to find it out.

All materials will go to Moscow and they'll be classified from now on.

- Any questions? - There are some.

The leader of the gang, Yasha Tsigan.

He's at large, isn't he?

Should we catch him, or let him go?

Of course, there's a chance that he is laying low here.

But I don't think so.

We'll declare all-Union search for him tomorrow.

You missed, uncle Pasha.

Watch and learn!

Why the long face, Musa?

I didn't get enough sleep.

That's Marta alright. You can't fall asleep when with her.

Who is Marta?

I'd like to try my luck with her too.

Who do you think you are? You can't even hit the target.

That target I won't miss.

I never missed it for the last thirty years, actually.

Well, Musa, don't be greedy!

- When will you release Marta to work? - No one stops her. She is at work!

And you tell no one.

Should I run around shouting?

Good luck.

Do not call. Send a telegram daily.

If we don't get one, we'll be on our way.

Did you know about your friend?

Of course, I didn't. How could I?

Galiev, get in the car, you drive!

What are you waiting for? Let's go!

I want to see how Yasha Tsigan ran away from you.

We pulled over here. Bam! He hit the door with two feet.

He hit the door open, crossed the brook and...

We ran after him, but what was the use?

It was so dark. Where should we run to?

Tricky bastard!

He was as quiet as a mouse all the way.

I fixed it. It was completely broken.

Karabaevo is on that side. Lots of criminals there.

Maybe he's hiding there. We should check it.

What?

Why stopped eating seeds?

I forgot to take them today.

Get in the car, we'll go back.

Galiev!

So, maybe we should go to Karabaevo and check if he's there?

Karabaevo? It's Karabanovo!

Hey.

Have you thought it through?

Thank you for visiting me. I felt better immediately.

And I thought this morning that I had rested enough.

I've always wondered,

what's in the minds of people who act like this?

What do they think about themselves?

Well, actually I have a through and through wound. I can show you.

By the way, they suspected rupture of internal organs.

Do they think about anyone except themselves?

You mean the telegram?

Sorry, I probably shouldn't do this. I wanted to speed up the situation.

But all I said was true.

It's a library, we shouldn't talk here.

At least that I never met a girl like you.

Go out, please!

Alright.

I made you an offer actually. And it also was serious.

Who is your father?

- A general? An ambassador? - Why?

Winner of Stalin Prize?

I don't get what has it to do with anything?

Well, he's a general.

He died.

Does it matter?

- What my father has to do with it? - You don't care about anyone, do you?

About the children who read? About everyone? About me too?

Drinking tea?

What's with the music? Someone's funeral?

Here at our place

as always

nothing changes.

And it won't change.

In two hundred,

in three hundred,

in a thousand years.

Nothing's gonna change.

No, Maya!

No!

You don't get it at all.

Why are you saying this?

- What are you talking about? - Vsevolod Sergeevich!

Don't you think this is not very festive?

Don't you?

It's the anniversary of our town.

If you don't like it, good-bye then!

You don't have to stay here!

Can I do what I think is right, at least here -

a hundred kilometers away from Moscow?

Can I say what I really want to say?

What is it?

- I'll kill you, bastard! - Stop!

I'll kill you anyway, cop!

Dasha's in jail because of you.

Was it me who killed a man?

And sent your wife instead of myself to prison?

If you didn't come then, she'd be home with the children now.

You are going to jail too. Together with your wife.

Do you understand what you've done now?

You've attacked a law enforcement officer.

In the presence of witnesses.

I'm sorry, but I only saw you falling.

Perhaps you just tripped?

The rest came later, and they've seen nothing at all.

But they've heard.

He just threatened me with murder. That's enough.

I'm sorry, what?

- I can hardly hear! - I didn't hear anything either.

Konstantin!

You heard it, right?

I came here too late.

It took me too long to get out of the coffin.

Oh, yes!

I forgot completely. You're all corrupt here.

You shouldn't have raised a hand on me. I don't forgive such things.

But considering your state of mind,

I'm ready to make an exception.

Just apologize,

ask for forgiveness.

Egor!

Well, Egor?

He had a chance, and he blew it.

Adios.

Egor, are you crazy?

You don't care about yourself,

but think about your children! Who would they stay here with?

I sent a telegram to Dasha's aunt. She'll come tomorrow and take them.

- I'll kill that bastard! - Quiet! Look what you've done!

- I'll kill him! It's all his fault! - Calm down!

Everything was fine until he came here.

Tell me when you're gonna kill him. He's mine, Grinya. I must do it.

Don't even think about it. You're just a civil person so far.

If you go without order, Snake and Jew will send you to jail themselves.

I went to Snake, asked him to take me with them.

He wouldn't.

- And who's gonna show movies? - Tolya Karyakin will. He used to do it.

Calm down! Don't yell! Here, drink some more.

Listen, Grinya, maybe I should go to Jew?

He seems to have some authority.

He seems to?

Snake is nobody in comparison to Jew.

Grinya!

Listen,

talk to him about me.

- I'm asking you. - Don't you have children?

My sister-in-law will come and take them tomorrow.

Please.

Alright, I'll try.

But I promise you nothing.

Just please, don't yell.

Hello, Taras!

I saw your Masha in the store. She was gloomy.

I think maybe her friend doesn't visit her?

Or something else?

- What friend? - Well, that, from Moscow.

I thought you knew.

They were hugging in the courtyard in front of people.

- I've seen it myself. - Nonsense. You're lying.

And why should I lie? Ask Nina Garyaeva. She saw it too.

Well, maybe they hugged as friends.

So I say.

No reason to cry.

Maybe it's no big deal in Moscow

to feel other man's woman.

Egor!

He's boozing.

Maybe I should go to the pub for him.

Larisa hardly fell asleep. She's gassy. What if she wakes up?

And what's the use of him drunk?

Aunt Zoya, go!

I'll wait.

Thank you.

You won't live here anyway.

I know.

Go to sleep.

Tomorrow's a school day.

Who is laughing there? I told you to sleep!

Taras, let's go.

I've made stewed fruit with apples and cowberries, as you like.

I'll be there in a minute.

- Did something happen at work? - No.

Then why so gloomy?

- Because of what can't be told, right? - No, it's nothing.

Tell me! You'll feel better.

Not now. I'm going to bed. I got tired today.

Taras, tell me the truth. Do you feel any pain?

Masha!

Come in, dear!

- Hello! - Hi!

- Is Marta here? - Marta is busy.

There are other pretty women.

Look, how pretty they are. Hey, beauties!

I'll wait for Marta.

Would you like to have a drink? A snack?

No.

I'll just sit here to get in the mood.

Alright. Have some tea.

- Get dressed and let's go! - I can't.

I haven't broken the record yet.

I'm Stakhanovite, am I not?

I said let's go!

Stay here.

I've paid you.

I'm not talking to you!

Musa, get lost!

- I'm counting to three. - It's me who's counting to three!

It's two alredy!

I don't get it.

You will now!

Stop it! Calm down!

Boys!

Don't fight!

Are you asleep?

Feed Larisa when she wakes up.

There's milk in the bottle. It's on the sill.

- Do you hear me? - Yes, I do.

I know you're home.

Lisa!

Open, please! Half a minute and I'll leave, I promise!

Were it someone else, I'd call the police.

But now I really don't know what to do.

I need to talk to Lisa. It won't be long.

I'm categorically told not let you come in!

Then give her the flowers, please.

She will scold me.

I don't want to ruin the relationship with my daughter.

I'm sorry.

Rodion Ilyich!

Let's talk.

Aren't you afraid to ruin your relationship with Lisa?

I know about the telegram.

Do you have such trusting relationship with your daughter?

And I treasure it.

I don't know if you were kidding

or seriously made her an offer.

Just in case,

for you to have no illusions,

a person who can afford such a joke

will never be a husband of my daughter.

She's a big girl.

- She'll decide it herself. - Of course, she will.

Unfortunately for you, Lisa has read many good books,

and perfectly understands what is good and what is bad.

It's a children's rhyme, everything is so simple there.

In adult books everything is more complicated.

You can't always understand what is good, and what is bad.

If she begins to doubt I'll try to help her figure it out.

Lisa has already had

complicated relationship.

And I won't allow

someone to hurt her again.

You know what?

When I saw her for the first time,

she had left you crying.

Probably those were the tears of happiness of having a great father.

Let's not quarrel.

Alright.

Of course, we won't. I don't like to quarrel at all.

Thank you, Yuri Borisovich.

Good night.

There's a telegram for Varya.

Give it to me.

"Don't forget.

I'll come back for you. Wait.

Yours, Yasha ".

He wants to hide.

Son of a bitch!

The telegram came from the Perm station.

There was train to Tomsk at that time.

He ran away and to hell with him.

I hope cops won't get him.

Don't hurry.

Go to Musa, let him get in touch with Perm.

We need to clarify something.

Wake up!

You'll have time to sleep when you're six feet under.

Easy, easy!

- Calm down! - Why the jumping?

Put on your pants.

Jew sent me to you on business. He's waiting outside.

Musa, make me breakfast.

I have to get up in an hour.

Have a pancake while it's hot.

Why are you dressing up lately?

New dress.

- Walking around smiling. - This dress is one year old.

I sewed it last summer.

You've never worn it before. I wonder why.

I wore it all the time.

What's up, Taras?

And I'm smiling

because of our happy life!

Isn't it?

Let me make you a pancake.

I once heard people whispering behind our backs:

"Masha is so unlucky.

Such a great girl,

and her husband is Taras".

Who were those people?

Just don't lie that you never heard it.

You shouldn't listen to everybody. There are many fools in the world.

You got upset because of that?

Say: "I won't listen to fools!

I won't listen to fools!

I won't listen to fools!".

Eat a pancake, I'll get some jam.

He was smiling, kissing her hand.

"Masha, you are so beautiful!"

"Ah, Rodion, you make me blush!".

Come on! Maybe nothing happened yet.

Who do you listen to? Klava Karyakina?

There's no difference. Happened or didn't happen,

it's clear: I'm not for her.

She needs

another man.

Why?

Because she deserves a better man.

Taras, you belittle yourself!

What's a better man?

I had a broad in Istra, 30 years old,

divorced, boobs...

Huge knockers. Any man who saw her, started drooling at once.

And I came up to her and said: "Come here, saucepan with meat!".

And that's it, she was mine.

Stop whining! Talk to her like a man.

What woud I tell her?

Ask her directly if she cheated on you.

Taras, take these off! My hand's numb already.

Where can I run to?

They're making new documents for me. That Rodion even took me for a walk.

Taras, please!

Thank you.

Got no money, only a mess in my soul.

And my husband's lying in the corner, drunk and happy!

I tried coffee fortune telling. Stupid coffee told me five times

that I would marry a black man.

Again and again

I love Strunyevo!

Again and again I love Strunyevo!

Hubby brought me a bottle of wine instead of flowers.

Gave it to me, opened and now drinks it on the couch.

My hubby calls me monkey behind my back.

I'm not mad at him, the unshaven sluggard.

My husband meets me at the gates, affectionate and caring.

This means his conscience isn't clean. What a swamp fiend he is!

Again and again

I love Strunyevo!

Ivan Zakharovich, I told you that you don't have to audition.

No, rules are rules!

I should audition as everyone, so that no one could accuse me of nepotism.

Excuse me, do you need a pantomime?

"Angry Turtle", "Drunk Goose", "Teapot".

Audition is by appointment.

The appointments are over for today.

I'm too late again! Well!

An excerpt from the poem "Vasily Tyorkin".

Kostya, wait for ten minutes. Get in the mood.

We have to talk with Vsevolod Sergeevich.

Lunch break, half an hour.

Are you going to be in the library?

You have a gift, Ivan Zakharovich!

And you're worse than a dandy. I can't stand the likes of you.

Thank you for your frankness, but we'll still have to work together.

Thank God, we won't. I'm on vacation since morning.

Kostya!

Keep getting in the mood.

Vsevolod Sergeevich,

I'm not done.

You fire the projectionist Anatoliy Karyakin,

and the next day Egor Chaschin comes out of prison and goes to you.

- Did you know that he would come? - How could I know?

I got tired of Tolya's boozing and fired him.

And I just got lucky with Chaschin.

Or did someone prearrange this position for him, put in a word?

Listen, why don't you give Egor a break?

He's a good man.

Look, right now we're talking about you.

Answer my question, please.

I would, of course, if I could remember. But that was a long time ago.

You can't say. Are you sure?

I'm telling you, I would say if I remembered.

Alright.

I don't like to do this, but I really need information.

Vsevolod Sergeevich,

there was similar scenery in the performance

somebody informed the authorities about.

Then the performance didn't reach the viewer.

Now you're trying again.

I know how important it is for you that people can see it.

The time is now not the same. They won't put you in jail, of course.

But they can forbid you to stage the play.

Trust me.

Purely hypothetically.

Don't look at me like that.

Couldn't you tell me at once?

So, who called you?

Nobody called.

- He came to me and asked to take one guy. - Who?

Ivan Zakharovich, the police chief.

"My father sacrificed his life for homeland.

Nazis shot my mother at dawn.

My sister's in captivity, and I grew up in the open field myself.

That's the reason I got blind.

Friends, look, I can't see!".

You go somewhere, bring back presents, tell me nothing.

I thought my Taras was charmed by a woman.

Masha!

What should I think?

You're prominent, working, all the girls envy me.

Nina brought me a thing, that counts kilometers.

She attached it to the wheel. "Let's see where he goes".

Thank God, you didn't notice.

Nina Revyakina?

The postwoman?

Did you tell her?

Why should I keep a sorrow inside of me?

That's enough!

You reveal your legs!

Gonna tear it up to the navel?

You counted the distance, then what?

It was ten kilometers.

We divided it in two,

and got five kilometers distance.

And then I remembered that you had brought me here.

Showed me this place you used to play young guardsmen at.

You said it wasn't that far, only five kilometers away.

I thought you were showing it now to another girl.

The Young Guards!

I always played Koshevoy.

And remember,

it was our first time with you here, in the meadow,

to the right from the entrance.

Yes, I remember.

Now go upstairs and wait there. I'm going to talk to this insect.

Just don't uncuff him anymore.

You stink.

I was sitting with you as a friend. Told you in confidence.

Now I'll remember for the rest of my life: perps are not to be trusted.

But you can trust cops.

Taras Zaitsev!

Tell me honestly.

Would you really make me new documents, send me to a new life?

Well, of course! Why the hell anybody would care about me?

Prison is your home, Yasha!

Home, Yasha!

They gonna stab me in the first cell.

Nobody can be trusted in this life.

You can rely only on yourself.

You are with us from now on.

You obey me personally. Orders are not to be discussed.

They say you wanted to kill that Muscovite?

- I wanted, I said and I will. - No, you won't.

Cool off now.

I'll tell you when it's necessary.

Trofim, climb up here.

Hold it carefully.

Give me your hand.

Where to?

Far from here.

Thrush told me that you're with them now? You came by your own will?

Are you that stupid, Chalice? Why do you need that?

Life had dragged me, Musa, like that hog in the mud.

I can't change who I am now.

Fool!

Daughter is beating her husband in the shed,

grandson is drinking.

It's good that New Year happens only once a year!

Again, again I love Strunyevo.

Again, again I love Strunyevo.

Buy expensive mirrors for divination.

Otherwise you'll get a cheap fiance!

Again, again I love Strunyevo.

Why are you following me, lieutenant? You want to ruin my vacation?

I want to ask a question.

Whether I ruin your vacation or not -

it depends on your answer.

Who asked you to attach Egor Chaschin as a projectionist to the club?

- I remember something. - Well, thank God!

There was a call from the reception of the regional executive committee.

From whom?

No, from the regional council.

Or from the department of culture.

Now I can't remember, they call me a lot.

They know that I'll treat any request with respect.

Hi, Nina!

Masha, what happened to him?

Oh, nothing. He fell and hit his head.

Was that you? Who was he with?

- With no one! I tell you he just fell. - Masha!

Good afternoon!

Hi!

Or good evening.

I don't see you hurrying to work.

I've got many things to do.

Nazar Akimovich,

I know that you supplied the bandits with information.

But I don't think you did that for a profit.

Thanks for that.

Look, when we break up this bunch of perps

you'll have a chance to stay at large. If you help us.

You know,

last time I was recruited so brazenly was in 1941 by political supervisor.

But he was a fool.

I seem to be not so clever too.

I don't get what's so funny I said?

And don't explain me the criminals, and a hundred kilometers away from Moscow

and a need to keep order.

It must be done with legal methods.

If we indulge, agree with them - it will be not Soviet

but some Soviet-criminal authority.

Well, when you start thinking about people and not about authority,

then we'll talk.

For starters let's define terms.

What is "Thinking about people"?

Hello.

Come in, please!

What is your name?

Rodion.

Nazar,

is this your friend?

A classmate?

A classmate.

Rodion!

Have you come to our wedding?

What's with her?

She's sick.

I'm also on sick leave. Read this.

Weakness, dizziness, pain in the thoracic region.

intervertebral hernia, diagnosis of osteochondrosis.

Now you see?

And our friend Artur Andreevich diagnosed you with these, of course?

What's the difference who diagnosed me.

Is it a document? Yes, it is.

- How long are you going to be sick? - I haven't decided yet.

Thank God, the medicine is free for us. You can be treated your whole life.

Look, how lucky he is!

Beginner's luck.

Would you like some red?

Is Snake or Jew here?

All of us are here. And why are you so bossy?

I know where Yasha Tsigan is.
