The price of life.

I’m glad to see you.

Listen, I’ve been thinking a lot, and I realized that

we’ve missed out the main thing.

There was an anesthetist Levchenko in the team that was delivering Tanya’s baby.

But there was Levchenko in a different labor room at the same time as well.

How could he be at two places at once? Do you understand?

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

The official notice will be tomorrow but I’ve decided to tell you myself.

Ilya, your parental rights have been terminated.

Olya and I...

wanted to adopt Nastya…but

Olya is disabled, I don’t earn enough

to support another dependent. Especially now.

Elena Vitalievna is looking after Nastya.

The woman who you are paying? A child needs a family.

Rumyancev filed an appeal. They…they’ll let me out. Wait!

Wait! I don’t get it, how did they make the decision so fast? How?

I don’t have anyone except for Nastya. Do you understand me?

Do something, please. You’ve always been able to come up with things.

You could always think of something.

I was fired, Ilya. I’m unemployed.

Why were you fired?

Somebody reported that I’m being curious about things I shouldn’t be curious about.

Which is partially true.

I warned you, that the picture won’t help you. But you insisted.

Yura, just…just tell me that you’ll try. Promise me, Yura.

Yura. I won’t survive if they take her from me, do you understand?

All for nothing. Yura!

So?

I’ll try.

Hang in here, hang in here.

Just three minutes.

Hello, Ilya. You want to hear Yura?

Tell me, is he home? I can’t reach him, he’s out of service.

We don’t have money for the mobile. I’ll call him now.

Hi, sorry, I can’t wait anymore.

Is there any news?

Yes, there is. Nastya will live in a foster family.

I don’t know them. I was told that it’s a decent family, they are decent people.

I’ll try to find out more about them, if you like.

Hello? Ilya!

- Are you playing? - Yes.

What are you drawing?

Come here. Are we taking this?

What?

I’d like to apologize. I’ll pay for the damage.

- It’s not bad, I’ll work it out. - What damage?

You know how many fates are in this phone?

I do.

How many years have they given you?

Seven years.

You’ll work for me for a year.

You’ll do everything my people tell you. You can go now.

I will work, but not for a year, for a month.

I broke your phone

so I will take the orders only from you.

Should I remind you about your behavior?

Wait, January.

January,

you know, you should take a fresh lemon,

slice it, squeeze the juice,

about half of a glass.

I know you’re in pain,

I know that it isn’t your spine.

You’ve got salivary gland inflammation.

I can help you, you can throw away the warming pad.

Are you a doctor?

Yes, I used to teach in the medical academy.

You’ll work for me for a year.

A month.

I’ll benefit you more in a month, than the rest do in a year.

Three months.

You understand?

- I do. - Go.

7 years is a soft sentence.

You could’ve got 15.

I will draft up an appeal notice

and I will try to have you get out on probation.

My name is Aleksandr Levchenko.

Yuriy Belyakov said that you wanted to see me.

Anesthetist Levchenko?

“A.S.”

It was impossible to find you out of there.

Are you afraid that I’ll want to deal with you

the same way I dealt with Antipin?

I am worried for my son,

not myself.

I can understand you,

but I can’t justify your actions.

But

you should understand

that Sergey is innocent.

What are you talking about? I don’t know your son.

He wasn’t delivering your wife’s baby.

Your wife can't be helped.

Wasn’t it Antipin?

The head doctor was delivering the baby before…

before the lamp fell. It hit your wife, when it fell.

All the equipment went out,

none of us knew what to do. It was dark, we couldn’t see anything.

I tried to feel the pulse, but I realized that

the heart had stopped.

Antipin said that his arm got injured

and told us to note

the death time and he went out.

The only staff left in the room was the nurse, my son and I.

He was then taking his internship.

We decided to carry on,

and while I was giving chest massage,

Sergey was taking the baby out.

He delivered your daughter.

We decided not to put it in the paperwork,

so it looked like Antipin did it.

You would find out sooner or later.

And I thought that it’s best if I tell you.

Please, don’t blame us.

Please.

95,

96,

97.

Lower, lower.

98,

99,

100.

So, another one?

Deal the cards.

No guys, I’ll pass.

I’m tired.

- I’ll rest a little. - He got tired.

January,

I need to talk.

What happened?

I need information on somebody on the outside.

How do I do this?

Is it possible?

Well, it depends who the person is and what you want to know about him.

He’s a head doctor. His name is Antipin.

I’d like to know, well,

everything that he does.

From dawn to dusk. Everything, who he meets,

where he goes.

How is it…?

Shagin, have you decided to add extra 7 to your sentence?

No, no, no. I’m not planning anything. I

just need the info, as detailed as possible.

-“As detailed as possible” -Yes, and here…

So, what is it? How much does it cost?

I don’t know how to…

Do you really need it?

I wouldn’t have come if it wasn’t for…

Fine, fine, I’ll think.

Ok, I got it, I’m sorry.

Did you hear? “How much does it cost?”.

It is what it is.

So, deal the cards, I know you want to squat some more.

Ok, let’s go.

Yes, come in.

Hello, Eldar Markovich.

Hello Vergizaev, what do you need?

Eldar Markovich, my name is Anton.

Great.

What do you need, Anton?

A little respect for the start.

What else?

I’ve also heard that you got promoted.

I didn’t get promoted.

I was transferred to a different job.

That’s good.

I wasn’t offered anything.

How?

My lawyer didn’t pay you?

No.

So you mean to tell me that he didn’t give you money?

No, he offered me it, but I didn’t take it.

Ok, And you came here to tell me about it?

No, I came here…

because it’s time for finals, internship,

and the best I can get with my grades is an emergency

room in a village. I’m sure you understand that.

I came here to ask you to hire me to work in your new center.

I’m not responsible for recruiting.

So, are you telling me “no”?

You should’ve taken the money.

You need to understand me.

Do I need to go to the prosecutor’s office now

and write a confession?

Are you

blackmailing me?

No, of course not.

I am just asking

just asking,

I am just asking for a little more respect. I am not asking you for a huge salary.

Just hire me.

Well done.

Great, well done.

Write the application.

Thank you.

To the attention of the head doctor

of the perinatal center

Sign here,

here,

you can go.

Next.

- Your surname? - Shagin Ilya Petrovich.

Convicted under the article 30, clause 3, seven years.

I began serving the sentence on the 20th of April, 2005.

So, you’re getting out early. Congratulations. Yes,

six years is different to seven. Your watch.

You have an ancient phone.

Ok, sign here.

Here

and here.

You can go.

Next.

Your surname?

Labor office opens at 8,

so you must be in the dorm no later than 10 p.m.

What if I get night shifts?

Then you need to warn me.

And you’ll have to be home by 10 a.m.

Who will be watching me?

I will.

What, don’t you have any other job to do? Something more interesting?

Keep on being rude and I’ll report you.

If you fail to get back home on time, I’ll report you.

According to the conditions of your parole,

two or more warnings

and you go back to prison.

Do you understand?

Sure, may I have the keys?

Feel yourself at home.

Hello.

- Hello. - What do you want?

I used to work here,

I taught pathophysiology on the second floor.

I’d like to go back to doing the job.

Have you sent your CV?

No, no, but I know the rector.

Just tell him that Ilya Shagin is here.

Yes, Katya?

You have a visitor. Shagin.

Is he next to you?

Yes, Vasiliy Andreevich,

I am next to Kate.

Ilya, I can’t take you back.

I get it,

I just thought you’d want to come outside and

speak. We haven’t seen each other for a long time.

Please, just understand me.

Fine, I get it.

All the best.

It hurts!

Pain, exactly. Pain causes shock.

Pain is the reason we are alive. If it hurts it means it’s happened.

Tell, tell me it will be all right.

Hello, Ilya Petrovich.

Hello, Vergizaev.

I saw your surname in the list of workers and I couldn’t believe it.

I thought, maybe you wanted to change your job.

Although, you’ve always criticized doctors,

you could get tired of us, right?

So did you give the order to have me fix the toilet?

Whose else order could it be, Ilya Petrovich?

I couldn’t trust somebody with no degree to fix the toilet.

It requires a professional.

Yes. Thank you for the trust.

Hello.

Ilya Petrovich, I can help you.

I have some

vacancies in the hospital, for a nurse, I think. I don’t remember for sure.

I can pull my connections and hire you.

No, I’ll be fine.

No? Well, if you mop well for a year or two you might get promoted.

You may get a position of a facilities manager or a nurse assistant.

What do you like better, Ilya Petrovich?

Pupil dilatation.

Please remind me, is that what you call the reaction?

I’ve finished with the toilet.

I’m thinking maybe you want to beat me up.

No?

Don’t forget to flush.

And don’t leave the mess after.

To the graduation!

It’s all behind us. Ilya, join us.

- No, thanks. Maybe the next time. - Ok then.

Yes?

Hello, Shagin.

Hi.

Congrats on the degree, lawyer.

Thanks. What, you need a lawyer?

Not yet, I just really appreciate the fact we’re acquainted.

What do you want?

Me?

I just thought you might want something.

And how can you help me?

There are options.

Maybe you need money.

No, thank you. I don’t want to owe you again.

I understand that. Bye.

What is this?

Have you brought me cheap stuff?

Well, you’ve ordered the door.

I chose this?

Are you going to tell me what door I’ve picked?

Take it off and let them take it back.

They’ve already left.

Then you take it off and you take it back.

You want it so you take it off and take it back.

Shagin, hurry.

Otherwise, you don’t work here anymore, you got it?

Well, I don’t then.

Ilya, what is it with you?

Fine, we’ll think of something.

Come on, think.

Guys, take him.

So, you need help with work?

I know that you took the paper from my desk.

You glued the picture of Antipin on and put it in the envelope.

Antipin helped you?

I don’t understand.

Oh really? You know it well.

You know that if it wasn’t for the dirt

you did you wouldn’t have anything. Not this apartment, not this job.

I’ll see you.

- Shagin, do you not lock the door? - The lock is broken.

You can buy a new one.

I have nothing to steal.

You weren’t home yesterday.

Yes, I was putting up my notes,

you can read it. I want to provide legal support.

I almost managed to get my first client yesterday. But

unfortunately, the man was talked out of suing the customer.

I guess. But you have to be home in the evenings

while you’re a convict.

I will argue it.

You have a right to do so.

But I think it’s much easier just to get home on time.

Or it’s much easier

not to notice I come later.

Or they probably don’t let you work on the real cases.

Shagin, I am just doing what I’m responsible for.

If you don’t want to get locked up again

you should do what you’re responsible for.

Once the sentence is served you can fight for your rights.

One more thing.

If I don’t find you home after 10 p.m, blame yourself for the consequences.

- Is that clear? - Sure.

All the best.

Good morning, may I?

I’m sorry for disturbing,

my family and I used to live in the flat. I wanted to ask you something.

Man, it’s 8 am. Are you stupid?

I came at 12 yesterday, at the lunch time, then at 9 p.m. Nobody opened the door.

We get back late.

I wanted to ask you for a small favor. Did you find anything

when you were moving in?

Valera, why did you let him in?

Wait, do you remember if there were any letters, notebooks, anything?

Here, take this and get out.

No, you don’t understand. I’m here not for money.

We really lived here, I don’t know how to prove it to you.

I’ve put this cupboard together.

I’ve put the door upside down.

There, in the big room, there is a big stain near the window.

We’ve only lived here for a year.

Before us there was an old man, before him there was a family, probably you.

When we moved in the flat was in a horrible state.

I found this under the fridge. I didn’t see anything else.

That’s my daughter’s giraffe. May I?

Yes, sure. We’re sorry, we rarely get up early.

- No, I’m sorry. - I’m sorry if I’ve insulted you.

No, it’s ok. Thank you. Sorry.

We need to do something about him for sure.

It sounds like you’ve been to jail for 7 years, not Shagin.

You only say that because you don’t know how reckless he can be.

Well,

it’s easy to understand him.

Jail’s broken many people.

And if he wanted to make me pay

he would start nagging me before.

He didn’t do it, he knew it was pointless.

You shouldn’t have spoken to him like that, you shouldn’t have.

What’s her last name again?

No,

no information about foster parents.

You need to go to the archive; they might still have the information.

I’ll get you the address.

What will you do when you find your daughter?

I’ll restore my parental rights.

- How long ago did you get out? - Why does it matter?

It matters a lot to the children’s services board.

Where will you take the child?

Do you have a flat?

I was given a room in the dorm.

We used to rent a flat, I can rent again.

Do you have a stable job?

No, I…

Any savings, deposits, inheritance?

No, no.

Do you have anything, anything, so the board could assume

that the child will be in good hands?

Take the address.

- Thank you. - All the best.

I know that everyone has faced

poor medical service at least once in the lifetime, right?

Has that happened? Raise your hand if you’ve experienced it.

It’s understandable that

many fear the idea of trial.

People believe it involves red-tapery

that comes at great costs. Trust me, it’s not like that.

First of all, medical cases

are free of state fees.

To add more, you don’t need to wait for pretrial

proceeding, you can go straight to the court.

And the most important thing is, unlike a regular criminal case

in medical cases,

the burden of going forward with evidence of guilt guilt is on a defendant.

If the opponent doesn’t want to, or can’t provide the evidence,

they are proven guilty.

Valya, let’s go. It stopped raining.

Did you want to ask something? Yes?

Fine, fine.

You can also go,

it stopped raining.

How much cash did you want to get for the performance?

The performance? I didn’t want to get any cash for the performance.

Now that everyone’s gone you can be sincere.

I am an accountant.

I’ve seen all types of scammers.

I’m not a scammer. I have two degrees, a medical and a law degree.

Do you have a criminal record?

Why does it matter?

Because it does.

I can see

you’re here not to hide from the rain.

You have an umbrella.

What’s happened?

My son died

in a hospital.

I see.

It’s three to ten.

Listen, you’re a just great! I knew I would find my Nastenka.

No, I’ve only received a confirmation that the information

about your daughter’s foster family exists.

I don't understand. Do you know where I can find it?

All the papers are submitted in one file.

Here it says that the file is in 51 Beketova st.

So it’s here?

Please, don’t torture me, find it as fast as possible, please.

I would love to, but I have a lot of orders queued up.

Also, your paper should be verified by somebody on the board, you don’t have it.

Oh, it also says that you have an outstanding convictions

Have you had your parental rights restored?

Not yet,

but I know my rights. You can’t prevent me from seeing my daughter.

I would like to help you out of the human decency.

But can you see how many papers are there? I’ll need hours to find what you need.

Ok, I’ll come back later. Just tell me when.

I don’t know, it’s so cold here,

I don’t know, it’s so cold here,

The heater doesn’t work,

we need to buy a new one.

God knows when the boss decides to buy a new one.

Fine, I’ll get you a new heater.

It’s not hard to get, as long as you have money.

How much?

Is that how much the heaters cost?

Are there any cheaper options? About five times cheaper.

You can file an official request and mail it

I will start the search as soon as I receive it.

Then I’ll mail you the papers.

It might take months, but if you’re ok with it…

I understand you.

Hello, who’s that?

Hello, January, this is Shagin. I need money.

- So what? - A lot of money.

How much is a lot?

I think the sugar’s already melted.

Polina, I’m really sorry that your son is gone.

Please no,

I’m so tired of people pitying me.

You said you’ll find the answer so look for it.

So Andrey was submitted to the hospital for a nasal floor surgery,

but he died

because of bladder breakage.

Tell me, can you sue them?

Well, to get the full picture I need to

at least talk to the doctors.

And for that you need money of course.

For that I need time and silence.

Kolya, thank you, ok, go home.

But if anything, ok?

- Fine. - I’m home.

Neighbor.

I get it.

You called him to be your bodyguard?

Weird choice.

Not that I had much choice.

Where is your husband?

With his other wife.

I’m warning you, I have nothing to steal.

Oh, by the way, you’re the only person I wasn’t going to rob.

Tell me,

if it turns out that the doctors are guilty,

will we be able to punish them?

We will, we will.

Wait.

Here’s all of Andrey’s papers.

Please don’t lose anything.

I’ve been fighting for them for 6 months.

Don’t worry.

How can we get in touch? Do you have a phone or a card?

Here’s my phone.

Good bye.
