THE PRICE OF LIFE

- Did you call for me? - Yes.

Please answer the question, why

is there my signature on these papers?

- I don’t get it. - Oh you get it.

You get it all just fine.

You’ve faked my signature,

changed the dates and forged the papers. You’ve set me up.

How did you get those?

Shagin found them.

How did I not know straight away?

You’ve been making good money. Why did you need to do it?

This information wasn’t supposed to come out. I was working clean.

And you have nothing to worry about.

If Shagin goes to court and tries to use the papers

we can say it was a faulty photocopier.

We can show the original papers with real dates.

You have nothing to worry about.

I have plenty to worry about.

I’m already worried.

You’ve risked my reputation

and our center.

Tell me, who’ll believe Shagin?

Who can he tell all of this to?

I can speak to him again, if you like.

Everything will go fine this time, I promise.

Fine?

You aren’t getting the branch.

- What? - You heard it.

You aren’t getting the branch.

Somebody else will run the branch.

Why the hell?

Why the hell somebody will run it?! Have you forgot

everything I’ve done for your clinic?

You remember it when you were showing your new equipment off?

Have you forgot go brought it here?

No need to lecture me.

I remember everything. You should have done it all differently.

I’ve made my decision, go.

Is that how you treat someone who covered your back?

Don’t forget who hired you with your shitty degree.

Let me remind you who saved you from the prison.

You saved me just to send me there?

Thank you very much. You can go. You’re fired.

- Good evening. - Good evening.

Can you see the man up there, in a black coat?

I’d like to speak to him, can you call him over?

Yes, sure.

Did you call for me?

I’ve only called for you.

They’ve just gone out to smoke.

- What's up? - Oksana Balikina was poisoned.

She’s very bad. Even if she gets better she’ll be left

in the same prison where they won’t let her survive.

So you guys, have a chance to save a human’s life.

Maybe you do something noble once in your life.

Because she’s almost killed us?

Do you wanna see the scar on my head?

She also has marks after the rape.

She can use them to prove it.

Fine, let’s not compare our scars, let’s just say the truth.

We can agree that Oksana misperceived your

intentions, and you aren’t mad at her for this.

We’ve told everything that happened.

Any other questions?

You do know that’s not right? Her death will be on you.

Maybe she should have been born at all?

Think.

Let’s go.

It's a very easy case.

Balikina’s guilt was proven in the court. She’s received the

sentence she deserved, and she’s now serving it in the jail.

Nobody, including the convict argues the fact that she violently attacked

three young men on the 10th of June. There are seriously injured victims.

We have a weapon she’s used to commit the crime-a heavy wrench.

Finally, we have a confession.

You’ve all come here to find out the motive. Turns out that

Balikina violently beat the men up, making up for

the fact that she’d been molested some time ago.

She didn’t know two of them.

She believed the third one was guilty, but it’s never been proven.

Balikina’s lawyer claims that it was an act of self defense.

However there is not a single evidence,

not a single witness to confirm that Balikina was in danger.

There is not a single wound on her body.

However, all the facts show that she’s broken the law.

She’s committed a crime against innocent citizens.

I repeat, it’s a very easy case.

All you need to do is follow the law,

that states that everyone’s dangerous for the society must be isolated.

That’s all I have to say, your honor.

Apart from the law dogmatic,

that suggests we follow the articles of the criminal code,

there’re other ways to get the truth. For example, formal logic

If I tell you that aliens took control over

my defendant you won’t believe me, even if I

show you the pictures of UFOs

hat were over the city that day. Your faith will be based not on law

but common sense.

From the point of view of combination theory there is nothing surprising

that two people who know each other happened to be on the same train.

Because Strelcov and Balikina live

three stops away from each other.

To add more, Oksana gets back home from work at that time. One more argument

to support the idea of a planned crime is the basement.

But if we turn to

topography, we can see that the basement was 200 meters away from the

platform, meanwhile her flat is 1.5 kilometers away. Twice as far.

To add more, the basement became the second home for Oksana a long time ago.

Unfortunately, I can’t rely on the facts of the previous case where

Oksana was the sufferer, but I can draw a historical parallel.

In both cases Mr. Strelcov was a man who

accidentally happened to be on the crime scene.

If we trust his testimony, both times he had nothing but the most noble intentions.

And each time

time it ended to be a criminal case. The jailbird,

pardon me, the victim, claims that Oksana had a bag,

which nobody but him and other two victims has ever seen.

But if Oksana got rid of the bag why didn’t she get rid of

the weapon? Why didn't she gave herself at least some minor

injuries? Why didn’t she rip her clothes? Isn’t that what all

the vicious villains do, when they are planning a revenge?

Basement is usually a dark place

full of dangers, especially at night. We can

accidentally hit our head on the pipe, or trip over.

There is nothing about it in the criminal code

but all of us know about it from our experience.

However, three young men weren’t afraid to come down to show their noble natures.

Because that’s the right place for it. If you remember, I’ve asked the young people

if they’d do the same thing knowing what could happen and all of them said “No”.

The people had a choice.

Strelcov could not chase Balikina and Matrosov and Danilian

could not come down to the basement. Nobody forced them

to create the hostile atmosphere and to incite the situation.

Oksana didn’t have any choice.

Her actions were spontaneous, that’s what all

of us would do if our lives were in danger.

The law is our deal with the government.

The government ensures our security. We pay taxes for it.

When Strelcov’s lawyer said that Balikina was punished

he forgot to mention how many times. I’ll remind you.

Her father was convicted for physically abusing her

mother. None of the rapists were punished for the crime.

In the jail she was sent to, they’ve put broken glass in her porridge.

There were a couple of pieces, they forgot to

take one out. No one answered for the crime again.

You know, I feel like the law, that we must respect, something happened to it.

All its power’s disappeared.

The government is consistently

avoiding fulfilling its commitments to this girl.

In this case we can see that there are common sense,

experience, logic and many

other factors against the law.

And if you think that the government isn’t a thoughtless mechanism, but you and I,

you’ll protect the girl.

That’s all, your Honor.

Everybody up.

Everybody may sit down.

Has the panel made its decision?

Yes, your Honor.

Everybody up.

Please, give us your decision.

We believe that actions towards Mrs. Balikina were illegal,

forcing her to use self defense.

We believe Mrs. Balikina to be innocent.

Sit down please.

I’m listening…

Yes…

So,

where’s your giraffe?

Give her the phone.

What do you want?

Where are the coins?

Polina has nothing to do with it. I returned them back to the owner.

Listen, Shagin. You’re a real man.

If I knew you before I would take it easier on you for all your heroism.

Let's put all the pathos aside. If something happens to me or her…

Nothing will happen to you on one condition.

Come on, I’ll show you something.

Come-come here.

Why did you do this to him?

Well, some people like him. Refuse to pay their debts, they lie.

I don’t refuse to do so. I’ve lost my job.

I need time. I’ll pay you back.

Well, he’s yours Shagin.

Didn’t you want to make him pay. Go ahead.

- Not this way. - Listen, I’ll sell my apartment,

I swear I’ll give you the money back, I swear!

You’ve asked me for money and I gave it to you.

I swear on my mom that I’ll pay you back. Let me go, let me go.

I gave you a lot of money and you lied to me.

And now you have to answer for it.

Go ahead, Shagin.

I’m not doing it. You can tie me instead of him.

That’s a good idea.

You’ll look good here as a couple. Let me think about that.

Finish with her. I want to hear it.

Wait-wait-wait-wait.

- Yes, bye. - Do you hear me, wait?!

No, Shagin, no.

- Wait. - No, Shagin, no!!

Untie her and go.

Well done, Shagin.

You and I are good now.

The shovel’s over there. Bury him.

No need to thank me.

Quiet-quiet-quiet.

Listen, wait. Quiet-quiet-quiet.

We need to take the rope off, wait.

Do you hear me? Can you hear me, Anton?

Listen. They’ve left…We need to…

We need to go. Can you hear me?

How’s your neck?

Listen…

Listen I’ll explain it all to you. Listen!

Wait. Wait.

We need to go in the opposite direction.

Stop and listen to me.

Can you hear me or not?

Quiet, let me take a look.

Yes, just a little more and you could say goodbye to the kidney.

Here,

let me. Deal with it.

Hold it. Tighter!

Like this.

Where are you going? Do you hear me, Vergizaev?

What do you want to tell me? That you hate me?

Do you realize we need to stick together now?

You only

need me alive because

Selivanov has a recording

of you killing me. That’s it.

Vergizaev, wait!

Can you hear me?

I was attacked last night.

He was wearing a mask but I recognized his voice. He was Selivanov’s man.

I’ve seen him once. They were following me and Shagin.

Ok, what did they do to you?

Nothing. They got in my place at night,

And as soon as I answered he rushed to me with a phone.

I guess he wanted to get me scared so I’d scream.

I screamed and he let me go and left.

Did he hit you?

No, that’s not the point. It’s just…

Shagin’s disappeared.

I called him but he’s now answering. I called

the dorm and they told me he didn’t return.

I think we must go to Selivanov and question him.

- Who? Selivanov? - Yes.

Why did you and Shagin decide that you can bother me any time you feel like it?

I was attacked!

- I see. Did they get in your place? - Yes.

And they didn’t steal anything?

Maybe it can seem weird…

Yes, it seems very weird, almost impossible.

Why didn’t you call 02 like any person would?

You know,

I thought you were a decent man.

And Shagin always said that you’re a good detective who’s always ready to help.

Wait, I…Listen, I have a lot to deal with except for Shagin.

I have a serial killer.

Should I drop everything to look for Shagin?

Take a seat.

Let’s start over.

- Was he wearing a mask? - Yes.

What’s next?

The thing is that Shagin spoke to Selivanov a day before.

Selivanov was threatening Shagin.

Shagin’s recorded the conversation on the video.

I have a usb-drive.

Here it is.

Nice giraffe.

We’ve got lost.

We’ve gone far away from the main road at night.

Wanted to trace our steps but there is a swamp.

Good thing we didn’t end up in it.

So, are you going to drink it?

I am.

We also need water to rinse your wound.

Did they teach you to drink whatever in jail?

I’ve found an old bonfire.

I’ll crash the coils

and filter the water.

Here, drink it.

Come on-come on.

It was silly.

Our body needs 2 liters of water a day.

Where are you going? There is a swamp.

Listen you.

Leave me alone. I was sick of your lectures back at university.

- And you weren't often there. - Screw you.

Come on-come on

We keep going further from the place where we were.

Do you hear me? How do you think they will find us?

Why do you think they’ll look for us? Who needs you?

Fine, nobody needs me, but they might look for you.

- I will manage it on my own. - You’ll manage.

- Don’t you want to change the bandages? - Get off me.

If you don’t change the bandage, you’ll get infected. Don’t you understand?

Get off me.

Can’t you just live?

Peacefully,

without giving your advice, not teaching, not showing how smart you are?

Nobody stopped you from getting the knowledge but you…

You can’t understand simple things.

That’s the thing, they are simple. Maybe I know

a lot of more interesting, important things?

Has this thought even crossed your mind?

What’s that?

How to set up teachers who give you bad marks?

Screw you.

Come in.

Thank you for agreeing to come with me. What’s your patronymic?

No need for patronymic. You can just use my first name, Gleb.

Fine.

Tea, or coffee?

No, thanks.

I’m sorry I’ve reported you to the prosecutor.

What did you tell him?

That Shagin will help your department to find the maniac.

Hello, have you been offered some tea?

Yes, but we don’t want it.

That’s a shame.

I’ve showed the investigation the recording

in which you’re threatening Shagin.

Excuse me, who?

You don’t know?

That’s funny…

Shagin, who returned the ancient coins to the

museum, and you’ve sent your bandits to threaten him.

You can see it in the video.

I don’t understand.

I got it, Shagin.

You’ll follow me till I apologize, right?

I know that you won’t.

Why not? I don’t care, I can do it,

provided that you disappear.

I swear, Shagin, I can’t stand looking at you anymore. Please, disappear.

You know, I’d gladly

disappear if I was sure

you were going to be safe.

Right-right.

You’re following me because

you’re scared I’ll die and they will pin the murder on you.

So you don’t care for me, you’re saving your own ass.

You’re stupid,

Vergizaev. How did Antipin even hire you?

Why do you care? He’s already fired me.

And he set me up for the beef with Selivanov?

Did you really want to screw him over and flee?

It’s not only about the money.

Yes? Is it really the conflict of personalities again?

Yes, here-here.

This face isn’t so disgusting to look at.

The dirt will dry

and insects won’t bite me. So join in.

No, thanks. I’ll cope with it.

Do you know Mr. Shagin?

No.

We have a recording

in which you’re threatening and asking him for 2 million.

Are you sure that it was Shagin that I threatened?

You can’t see his face, but it’s hard not to recognize you.

Oh really. Well, thank you for the compliment.

Of course, I have no idea what recording you’re talking about.

I’ve only recently argued with my nephew.

He borrowed the same sum from me,

but he’s paid me back.

Maybe I was yelling at him because of that, maybe I was a little too harsh

But isn’t it our personal business?

You were threatening Shagin.

Why is he making fools out of us?

Fine.

So you claim to be talking to your nephew.

What relatives were you talking about then?

- Well this… - Wait,

let me cite.

You said: “Chase up the debt from your relatives”.

I was talking about my brother Sergey.

His son always borrows big amounts of money, but he always pays me back.

He has a good business, just many ideas.

I didn’t mean anything illegal

when I said “ chase up”.

Trust me, it’s just the way I speak.

We like to fool around.

You can ask Sergey, or my nephew.

They’ll confirm my words.

And why did Antipin fire you?

Do you not know?

For the shady business with the equipment?

- Didn’t he have his cut? - No.

He used to do the same thing.

He did, he did all right. Who do you think I learnt it from

But now everything’s changed. Antipin now is a brand,

a peace and sanitary norms officer,

a honored worker and a professor.

I don’t believe that.

When my wife died he gave money to the worker

so nobody found out that the lamp fell.

He’s changed.

He’s not taking or giving bribes.

Why would he?

He has a budget. You only use it smart and live loud and sound.

Everyone’s changed over these 6 years,

except for you.

It’s going to rain soon.

We need to find a shelter.

What nephew? What brother? You can hear Shagin.

You’re speaking to Shagin.

Do you really believe him?

You know, hear it or not. Shagin or not.

It’s an absolutely pointless conversation.

I suggest we do the following. I will now give you the phone number.

That’s my brother. Sergey.

And here’s

my nephew’s number, Yuriy.

You can call them. They’ll tell you everything.

Yes, thank you. Goodbye.

He’s lying.

We should send this recording to the experts.

Shagin can’t do anything, do you understand?

Because he knows nothing about technology.

We need grounds before we send anything for an examination.

Damn it! It’s flat again. That’s the second time it’s happened this week.

Hold this, please.

What are you accusing Selivanov of?

Want do you mean? He’s sent his man to scare me.

Maybe somebody did it?

Look, a screw. A big one.

Why would he need to do that?

He didn’t know we returned the coins.

He wanted to scare me and Shagin to take them back.

If you’re sure he’s Selivanov’s you can sue him for breaking in your house.

Well you see, I have no evidence. He carefully opened the door.

He didn’t leave any evidence in my flat, I’ve checked.

He wore shoe covers. He had gloves on, he grabbed me wearing

gloves. His hair were under the hat. Do you believe me at all?

I do, I do. But you see,

Selivanov wasn’t scared of the recording at all. And he’s right

that we’d need a report from experts, the

one that can be argued by different experts.

Then again, we have no information of when the recording was made.

We need to find Shagin as soon as possible to make sure he’s ok.

You know what?

You should declare him as missing.

I can’t just declare him to be missing because he has told you something.

Move. Shagin.

You wanted to go to people, so go.

I’ve gone there, the forest is much thicker, only trees.

When you refused to build a hut you said

that you can hide under a tree. So go ahead.

Where can you hide? It’s pouring everywhere.

Are you scared to get wet?

Weak immune system.

Now you’re begging for sympathy?

Fine, sit down.

Wring the water from your clothes. You sit here and it’ll dry a little.

Who decided to set me up?

I…

I came to Antipin

and said I could do him a favor

and his lawyer told me what I needed to do.

And how did you do it?

I went to your office, took the papers where

you fingerprints could be

and printed photos of Antipin on them.

I really had no idea that they would send you to jail.

And when did you realize that?

It was already too late. You were arrested with the gun. The investigation began.

And you didn’t want to say I wasn’t guilty, not even once?

They didn’t need my testimony.

You could’ve volunteered.

Shagin, what do you want from me? I was a regular student, barely passing my exams,

no connections, nothing. Atipin gave me a chance. He invited

me to the clinic, he gave me a good job, do you understand?

What have I ever heard from you? Only humiliations?

You're calling everybody retarded and stupid. How did you not get punched?

It’d be better if I did.

You would sue the man.

I didn’t know how to do it then.

See, so the jail was good for you.

Get out.

The rain’s not over yet.

My patience’s over. Get out.

Whatever.

Take your clothes, people won’t accept you without it.

You should look at yourself.

It’s ok. My dirt can be washed away, unlike yours.

Bastard…

You know what. Shagin. This gullet isn’t your property.

Move. I have a right to be here too.

Selivanov has no problems with Shagin. If he did I could do something,

now I have nothing to charge him with, you see?

Fine,

we’ll think of something.

What time is it?

It’ll get dark soon.

We need to start a fire.

We’ll have to walk a lot tomorrow.

- Start a fire? - Yes.

Have you found matches?

I have some coals left.

You know, if I didn’t personally know Selivanov

I’d think it’s your plan to punish me.

You know that the world doesn’t go around you…

Don’t you want to help?

It won’t work.

The wood is damp, the grass is too.

You need a piece of dry wood.

Fire needs oxygen and carbon.

Did you fail physics as well?

I had “A” at physics.

I find it hard to believe.

I had an affair with physics teacher.

See, I told you it wouldn’t work.

Are you the most intelligent here? Then, here.

It’s dry.

Where’d you find it?

Like this?

Faster and harder.

Listen, wonder-hunter.

Do you know how long this animal’s been here for?

And what is it anyway? A cow? A moose?

It’s better you don’t know.

Are you out of your mind?

Don’t you see that the meat’s gone bad?

I’m not going to eat the meat.

Are you going to nibble the bones?

Marrow…

Pathogens don’t get to it.

To add more,

it’s low in cholestenone

and it boosts the immune system you’ve complained about.

Go ahead. I won’t eat it.

We need a thousand calories a day. You haven't had one.

How are you going to be walking tomorrow?

You know, fasting is good sometimes.

Yes, Not in the wilderness.

Where do you think we are?

Well, judging on how long it took them to get me here,

about 300 kilometers from the city.

Right.

Are we going to drink from plastic bottles?

You can burn yourself if you drink from the kettle.

It will melt.

It’ll deform, not melt.

Once it cools down it’ll be even harder.

Here, take it.

Are you aware that polymer can produce monomer when heated? It can be

harmful for human body.

I’m glad that you know something.

I do.

So…what are we doing here?

I was scared I’d get attacked again.

You’ve promised to find Shagin,

who’s God knows where.

Is it yours?

No.

Mine was inside the giraffe.

I don’t know where he got this one from. Maybe there’s something important.

Are you kidding me?

First people wearing masks,

then cameras inside giraffes, cameras in

beds. Are you and Shagin having a laugh at me?

Hi.

You’ve promised to give me a ride.

Do you know what it’s called?

Nobility.

No, Shagin, no! No!

Did you want to find Shagin? Now I’m putting him on the wanted list. Let’s go.
