THE PRICE OF LIFE

Sir, what are you doing here?

Are you a doctor?

Let him stay.

He is my husband;

He’s teaching future doctors in the medical academy.

Do you remember what day it is today?

Of course, today is exactly 3 years since we’ve met.

This is our Nastya.

She’s so big.

Don’t worry, it all went well, the girl is fine.

Go home, Ilya, you’re tired. We’ll finish here.

No, I want to be here with you.

Go home. That’s what you need to do now.

Sir,

wake up. What’s wrong with you?

- Who are you? - I’m a doctor. You were asleep.

Dr. Chizhikov, right?

- Yes, are you here to see me? - Yes, yes, yes.

You had a patient, Andrey Mitrohin.

You’ve diagnosed him with pyelonephritis.

Yes, I remember the boy, what’s happened?

He’s died in a hospital because of bladder breakage.

I’m representing his mother.

She’s getting papers ready to go to the trial.

I see.

They went swimming in a wrong place.

Yes, they were fun boys.

They would come early in the mornings.

We called them musketeers.

All 4 of them wore their pants backwards.

- Funny. And why? - I don’t know.

I don’t understand what the new generation has on their minds.

You've been studying genitourinary system diseases for 40 years, professor.

Would you say that teens are in the risk group?

Teens are very insecure.

They are more likely to talk to their friends

about the problems, rather than to problems.

It’s hard to cope with the bladder pains.

It all depends.

In the hospital they connect bladder breakage with the kidney infection.

I didn’t send him to the hospital.

He went there to have his nasal septum fixed.

Do you know how the surgery went?

There were some complications, but the deviated septum was removed

and the cavity was plugged.

Is it possible that the infection wasn’t stopped

and Andrey had complications.

No, they got well fast. All 4 of them.

Please tell me, professor.

In all years of your practice have you met other causes for bladder breakage?

Of course,

kidney stones passage may result in that.

You need mechanical impact for that, from inside or outside.

And If the teen would have stones or You need mechanical impact for that,

anything weird, I would notice.

Well, the boy didn’t have kidney stones,

therefore he didn’t have them in the bladder.

- So what was in the bladder then? - Urine, I guess.

Go to the ENT.

Next.

Who are you?

The man who wants to understand how it’s possible

that Andrey Mitrohin

was admitted in the hospital with one disease but died of the different one.

Please tell me, how much urine can human

bladder hold, till it decides to get rid of it.

It ranges from 200 to 500 milliliters.

- 500 for a grown person, right? - Yes.

Please, write it down.

Anyways, boy’s

bladder was empty.

They had it under the control.

Nobody wants to understand,

everyone wants to find the guilty one. Do you want me to confess?

I’ve started the catheter thousands times

and not one bladder broke.

I will add, if you don’t mind.

While premedication 0.5 cc of atropine,

1 cc of diphenhydramine and 200 grams of Diprivan were injected.

I won’t bore you with the names, I will give you the exact number.

The total of 360 milliliters.

Yes, but it’s an acceptable amount.

Yes, we remember about the limit for a grown person.

I really want to believe you. But I want to know something.

Boy’s bladder was overflowing with the liquid, he was in pain.

- Yes. Yes. - Yes?

But Andrey first woke up first on the surgery table.

Why not start the catheter straight away? Why

did you need to take him to the ward to do it?

Why did you need to wait, to make him suffer?

I don’t know.

I went to get catheters as soon as he was taken to the ward.

He was moaning and pointing at his lower stomach.

I’ve only named the medication used for anesthesia.

And before that there were 400 milliliters of sodium chloride injected.

So how much do we have altogether? 700?

It was a surgery, so there was blood loss.

Let’s round it up to 600.

So,

Honorable court, 600, 500.

The difference of 100,

please keep it in mind.

You know, I’ve noticed that it was a busy day for you.

The nurse from the other ward didn’t come to

work. You were substituting for her, right?

What, what are you implying on?

Maybe you were in a hurry to help other patients?

I can start a catheter with my eyes closed.

I’ve injected him where it needed to be injected.

Here’s a model bladder, with an extra 100 milliliters.

You know how to use a catheter, professor.

Try injecting it to get rid of excess water.

You scared you’ll get messy?

I can understand that. Let me try.

You think I shouldn’t have done that?

No, you did everything right.

Please stop the show in the court room.

- Goodbye. - Goodbye.

You’re comparing a human body to a balloon.

Doctors, who started their practice thousands of years before you,

used analogies back then.

Eyes were compared to apples.

We have an onion of pancreas,

a tail. We’re all made of water,

but we can’t be squeezed and drunk.

Aleksandr Vasilievich, there’s a lawyer who wants to speak to you. It’s an emergency.

- Hello. - Hello.

I’m here representing Mrs. Mitrohina.

Her son died in your hospital. I need a copy of his medical record,

the forensic medical report, and the rest of the paperwork

you’re supposed to give to the family members of the deceased.

The investigation has been stopped.

The nurse who started the catheter was fired.

To make up for it, we offered boy’s mother

a health resort voucher, a health resort voucher, but she declined the offer.

What an interesting offer, you know, a health resort. a health resort voucher,

I don’t have to speak to you or give you the papers.

Well, I already have them

I just wanted to see your reaction.

I couldn’t decide if I should take it to the

court or if we can deal with it peacefully.

I have no doubts now, thank you. I’ll see you later.

A human body is simple and complicated at the same time. That’s why,

whatever a doctor does, he always need to have confidence

as well as doubts.

Will the boy’s bladder handle the extra milliliters?

Can you send him to the ward without checking him?

He didn’t have any complaints.

Did he have any energy to complain?

Do you really think that he was able to properly explain what’s bothering him

after having a nasal tamponade, after all the medications he was drugged with

Isn’t it much easier to use your hand and to feel his stomach?

The same way the ancient doctors did.

Even though they didn’t know about syringes

they could tell an empty bladder from a full one.

- I’m finished, your honor. - Take a seat.

Do you have anything to add?

No.

Don’t be upset, Polina.

We’ve won the case.

Yes, the compensation isn’t so big,

but I can try to get more, if you like.

No.

I don’t need anything else, thanks.

Only if…

What?

I…I am an accountant.

Maybe you need an assistant.

I need to be needed

- by someone. - Fine,

fine.

I need an assistant. So

So, let’s go, ok?

Let’s go.

Now you’ll see grandpa in action.

Now, let me get a key, just a moment.

- Here you are. - Thanks.

And the second joke…

Hello.

So, four stars, right?

Was it a love confession, or am I imagining things?

You’re imagining things.

Rude.

- I’ll jump in a shower for a minute. - Go ahead then.

Hello, doctor Antipin. Weren’t you expecting us?

What a pity. Oh god,

just look at us. We are heroes.

What do you want? Do you want me to call security?

Who do you think let me in here? You know,

there is an advantage to a prison, among many drawbacks.

People eventually get out,

get a job and help each other for old time’s sake.

God, how happy we are that doctor Antipin

meets his nurses in this hospital.

Please tell me, were you promised a position

of a head nurse or a Clinical Nurse Manager?

I guess a head nurse, you’re so young.

She must be twice younger than your wife, right?

Or is the difference bigger?

What are you talking about?

Are you blackmailing me?

Where are you going, doctor Antipin? Where are you going?

We don’t feel well without you. Who shall we call?

An ambulance or the police?

Natasha, this is me. I’m not coming back tonight.

I’m with a woman.

With a woman.

I’ll be back tomorrow.

You know what she’ll do now?

She’ll get drunk again

and then go to the court,

but the kids will be with me anyways.

Because the law is on my side.

And criminals have no right

to raise children. You know it well.

Don’t stand in my way.

You started it.

I’ve come here to introduce you to my friend.

He said that he has big plans for you.

Goodbye, doctor Antipin, be safe.

Stick to the plan.

Like we agreed. That’s it.

The roof is ready.

Et the hand frames and a shield. Lift the roof. Here. Here.

More.

You need a ride?

Thanks, I’ll take a bus.

Hello.

Who gave you the order?

Have they also told you that I have no money?

Have they told you there will be no ransom?

Give me Vodka,

Leha, hold him.

- Hold the roof. Shield. - Careful, careful.

Ok, lift him and on the frames.

One, two, lift. And one. One more time.

- One more time. - And one!

Got it!

Come on, come on, come on.

Hand, careful.

On two. One, two, grab.

Let’s get the other one.

Guys, guys, listen.

There is another accident. The driver is badly hurt, can you help?

- An accident, where? Is it far? - It’s not far.

I’ve put a belt over the vein. The blood circulation is really poor.

Grab him, put him down carefully.

Andrei Nikolaevich, there is another accident 200 meters away.

What other accident? Artem, Valera, go take a look.

- How do you feel? - I’m ok.

Attention, the ambulance is coming.

Take this, here.

Can you hear me?

Inject the painkiller.

You should make sure that there is no neck injuries before asking any questions.

She might nod now and worsen the injury.

You better let the ambulance take over.

Grab her on two.

- Are you a doctor? - An ex doctor.

There must be a doctor in your squad. Where is he?

We had a good doctor, but he got fired,

Listen,

stop telling everybody about my brother.

I just answered the question he asked. What’s the problem?

What happened to your brother? I’m a lawyer, maybe I can help?

We’ve already spoken to lawyers. They said it’s all pointless.

I have an office in Coliseum, near the cinema, you know it.

You should come, maybe we can come up with something.

How’s the driver?

- No one’s in there. - How?

Well, we’ve went there. Nobody in the car or near it.

Let us give you a ride back to the city.

Fine, thanks.

Tell me, where is Ivlev?

What?

I’m waiting for you to ask me what happened.

I know what happened.

You were supposed to be in the dorm at 10 p.m.

You weren’t there.

I’ve reported the violation,

so you’ll be telling excuses in a different place.

I am not going to tell excuses. I got in an accident.

People got hurt and I was helping them.

There are witnesses who saw me You can check.

I really couldn’t make it back on time.

Ok.

But couldn’t you answer your phone?

I’ve lost my phone, I didn’t notice it fell out.

How is it possible. It’s huge.

It was.

I can smell alcohol.

I was treating the wounds.

Exhale.

Maybe I accidentally got a couple of drops in my mouth.

Ok,

I will put your explanation on a record.

Your second, first name and patronymic.

Why didn’t you tell the police you got kidnapped?

Who will believe me?

Just think about it:

a criminal,

there is alcohol in my blood,

in some other person’s car.

No witnesses,

the court only cares about facts.

I can say I saw how you got attacked.

Just remind me where it happened? How many people were there?

Nobody will believe you.

You’re an interested person.

So what do we do?

Very tasty.

What do we do? Enjoy life, and keep on living.

Yes, come in.

Somebody from criminal investigation department called you.

- Who was it? - I don’t know. His last name is Glebov.

I don’t know.

Should I wait for him?

No, it’s ok. I’ll meet him.

- I’ll meet him. It’s all fine, you can go. - Ok. Goodbye.

- Please, do my tie. - You do it.

I have done surgeries for six hours in a raw today.

And I’ve taken the kids to the theater to see the show.

It’s ok, soon a new

nanny will take care of them.

Polina, I need a favor.

Can you pack a couple of sirniki to go, please?

Sure.

Why did you even start working at the recruitment center?

To get parental rights, I need to receive legal money

and have working record.

To add more, our business isn’t that profitable yet.

Yes.

Good afternoon, major Glebov,

criminal investigation.

I’m listening.

I’ve called your new workplace

and they said that they don’t know you.

That’s right, I got fired.

I can see that you don’t like being in one place for long, right?

Why’s that?

When there’s security

I can spend up to several years in one place.

You’ve violated your parole rules, you have been warned about the consequences.

Yes, And I’ve told my district officer about it.

I know, I’ve read it.

How did you end up on the place of the accident?

What? I saw an accident and I decided to help.

Tell me, can we speak some other time? I’m in a hurry.

No, so

you were at the place of the accident but did you see how it happened?

No, I only saw the aftermath. I got out of the bus,

crossed the road and that’s it.

I see.

And where did you get hurt?

I can’t remember.

Maybe when I was helping the rescuers,

I can’t remember.

I see, I see.

So why did you decide that the rescuers

who were at the scene wouldn’t be able to do it themselves?

Well,

it turned out that the rescuers needed help.

I am in a real hurry.

Take a seat,

Shagin, take a seat.

Here, look.

The accident happened at 9.40,

you were supposed to get back to the dorm at 10.

Where have you been? You didn’t seem to be in a hurry then.

You won’t believe me if I tell you I fell asleep and missed my stop.

Why not? I will believe you if you got to the bus park.

So you mean to tell me that I shouldn’t have helped anyone?

You know, if you want to question me,

let’s go to your office where you can write a report

and I will ask you to add

a line about circumstances of Force Majeure.

Shagin, I read your case this morning.

You’ve buried your wife, your child was taken from you.

It’s very hard of course, I don’t want to send you back

to jail. Trust me.

And so it doesn’t happen

you have to tell me the truth.

- So you want the truth? - The truth.

I like to keep it official.

Determine the nature of the crime and my role in it.

If I’m a witness, then

I’ve already told you everything I knew about the accident.

Ok. But that’s not it.

Where was the victim that you reported to the rescuers?

Well, I saw a man, I don’t know where he went.

-Maybe he felt better and left.

- Maybe somebody helped him. - Who?

How would I know?

If you aren’t taking me to prison,

I have to go now. I’m late.

Yes?

- Hello. - Hello.

- Were you warned? - Yes, I was. Come in.

No need to show me your badge, I can see you are an investigator.

Take a seat.

Tea or coffee?

Tea, please.

Make us some tea, please.

I’m not your secretary.

I know, she’d have made it already.

So, dear, why are you here?

Your wife has problems with conceiving?

Excuse me?

I am the head

of family planning center.

People usually come here to conceive a baby or have it born here.

- That’s not why I’m here. - Ok?

You’ve reported your car stolen.

- Yes. - We found it in a gullet

not far from the place of the accident.

The thief got into an accident? Are there any victims?

There are three, except the one that’s vanished.

The accident happened before

so the thief probably didn’t notice the obstacle.

He got distracted.

It sounds like him.

What?

It sounds like him.

Wait, you know who stole your car?

I can give you his name.

Do you know doctor Antipin?

You could ask that without arresting me in the courthouse.

Why are you lying to me?

You stole Antipin’s car,

you lost control and the car overturned.

When you got out of the car you saw another accident

and you decided to get noticed.

Police, ambulance, emergency.

Thanks to this you have new alibi. Why are you lying.

It was Antipin’s car, how did I not know.

Come on.

My wife died because of him. He wanted to hide it.

When he realized he can’t do it he decided to get rid of me.

We found fingerprints on the steering wheel. We have yours in the base.

Do you think they will match?

I have a right not to witness against self.

Come on.

Here’s a woman to see you.

She says it’s urgent.

Think.

- Hello. - Hello.

Do you not remember me?

We’ve met at my husband’s Center of obstetrics.

I do.

I couldn’t tell you the truth then.

Shagin didn’t steal the car,

I had relationship with Ilya.

My husband doesn’t know about it.

I was driving.

Ilya helped me out of the car when we crashed.

Why is there not a single scratch on you?

Because I am lucky at everything but love life.

Let Shagin go.

What do you mean “let Shagin go”?

I can’t. Your husband reported the car stolen.

The car is on my name.

And I report

that nobody stole it.

Ok, come on.

I know that you didn’t sleep with him.

Why are you so sure?

Or are you the only person in the family who’s allowed to cheat?

Nothing’s every happened between you two.

And you know it.

It doesn’t matter now.

I don’t understand anything,

anything.

For god’s sake,

tell me,

why did you have to go to the prosecutor’s office

and why did you need to help Shagin?

Don’t get God involved in your shady games.

Why?

I’ll tell you why.

I wanted you to feel what I’ve been feeling all these years.

I’ll file for divorce,

and you won’t get anything.

Nothing!

And you’ll never see the kids, you bitch!

You know what?

Seeing you angry is enough.

Yes, yes, yes, I’m late, I know.

I was in the archive, sorry.

Now.

Where’s the client?

The client. She’s left.

Nobody is going to be waiting for you for hours.

If you want to have clients you’ll have to show some respect and come on time.

I see.

- That’s not it. - What else?

They are taking the building.

Somebody’s come and said that

we are using the cinema inappropriately.

He said we should get away by the 16th.

Who needs these ruins?

I’m more worried about

where we will meet the clients.

In my dorm. Or at their places.

We’ll think of something, don’t worry.

Don’t you see that

it’s really disrespectful to make people wait.

Enough. I’m not paying you money for you to tell me off.

Oh, about money.

You need to open a bank account.

There’s a client who’s ready to pay for the service

but it’s better to do it with a transfer.

I thought you did it ages ago.

Come on, get to work.

Did the client leave her address?

Yes.

She said you know where to find her.

Maybe I do.

You’re just great.

I’m full.

Maksim, didn’t you forget something?

- Take your meds. - Don’t argue with your dad,

take your meds. And you don’t forget your jacket, ok?

The kids will live with me after the divorce.

You can pack your stuff.

- What? - Do you jacket up.

- I don’t want to. - I don’t want to.

You fond it?

Yes, our house is on the corner at the crossroads.

Come in, the gates are open. I’m waiting for you.

I’m not giving you the kids.

I don’t need your permission.

That’s not what my lawyer thinks.

What lawyer?

Hello.

- Hello. - Come in, please.

Hello, doc.

I’m here to help your wife with the divorce action.

I can meet your lawyer, if you like.

Come in. Take a seat.

You forgot.

- What do you want? - Nothing!

Do you think Shagin will help you?

This wacky, broke lawyer! Is that how you want to end your life?

I’ll help you.

You won’t get anything,

nothing,

zero!

Good afternoon,

- I’m Samsonov. Antipin’s lawyer. - Yes, I remember you.

I’m here on business.

Come in.

So, that’s where you live and work.

Is there anything wrong with that?

No, I’m just thinking:

Don’t you want to calm them down?

- Excuse me, who? - Your neighbors.

Have you come here to solve my housing problem?

No, I’ve told you, I’m here on business.

I want to show you something if you may.

Take a seat, please.

Look at this, please,

your client’s falling asleep on the stairs

when she’s wasted.

It’s hard to live with such a man and not get wasted once.

It’s not the only case.

Yes? Well, let’s look at other cases.

You know,

I, unfortunately don’t have any free time. I know you are

a free man, but I am unfortunately busy.

What a pity.

Turn it off, enough.

You can watch it all you want.

But Ilya Petrovich, you’re a grown man,

you must understand that the court will be on our side.

It’ll be strong evidence.

So you’ll lose the case.

Really?

Please, trust my

experience. It’s hopeless for her, so talk to her and advise her

to deal with it as soon as possible.

Well, I guess I’ll trust my experience.

Whatever you like.

- Be safe. - All the best.

Your honor

I think that the video we’ve just seen

proves the fact that Mrs. Antipina

isn’t capable of taking care of two kids on her own.

Let me remind you, that one of them is a disabled person.

To add more, if we were to watch it till the end,

but we won’t due to ethical reasons,

we would

see that she can’t even take care of herself

because she can’t

can’t take herself to the toilet.

Please forgive me for such an intimate detail.

We won’t forgive you.

Honorable Court,

it’s a private video made in a private house.

This type of records are not made for public display.

Before you throw more dirt at my client, tell me,

when was the video taken.

Your Honor, I guess,

the question is in appropriate.

We’ve just made sure that

Natalia Sergeevna is an alcohol addict.

So we cannot let her raise two kids on her own.

You’ve already let it happen.

This video was made on the 11th of November.

Double 11.

It’s easy to remember.

That’s the day the Antipins got married.

If you were to install one more camera in the kitchen

we would see a beautiful dinner

that was waiting for that man.

Natalia Sergeevna was on her own that day,

she sent her kids to her mother.

She decided to relax as she couldn’t wait for her husband any longer,

she had a right to do so.

I demand to have the record stricken off the

case. I demand they apologize to Natalia Sergeevna

and try to forget everything we’ve seen.

Otherwise, I’ll demand on watching the video

from the hotel where

the head doctor

loves to hold job interviews for the

position of the head nurse.

Katya, append it to the case.

- Ilya, do you really have that video? - Of course not,

but people like Antipin judge others based on themselves.

It’s not the end, my friends.

It was just a pre-trial hearing. The real trial is still ahead, colleague.

I’ll be looking forward to the day, colleague.

- Are you Shagin? - Yes, that’s me.

Here’s a present from January.

Wait. I wanted to tell you,

I don’t understand why I lost control that day.

I cannot stand alcohol, I never drink.

- No need to explain yourself. - No, I do.

I want you to know that hired you not because you owe me.

. I don’t like the divorce

but I think my kids will be better off with me.

I’m not an alcoholic.

- Do you believe me? - Yes, sure.

Hello, Shagin.

So? You didn’t know Antipina before.

I saw you two talking, when leaving the court building.

You don’t look like lovers.

Do you want to hold an investigative experiment to find out

if we feel good together?

Why the clownery?

I know that you’re lying,

and you are a bad liar.

So? If it wasn’t for Antipina you would have years to spend in jail.

I guess we should thank Natalia for the chance to stand next to you.

That’s it? Can I go?

I can see you’re rich. Shagin,

how did you get rich so fast, what’s the secret?

What if I won’t tell you?

Then I’ll arrest you till we get this sorted.

You do remember that you go out on parole, right?

We can increase the sentence.
