THE PRICE OF LIFE

Two questions.

Why was there an explosion?

And how I managed to survive it?

I only have answers to these two questions.

About a half a year ago I wouldn’t believe what happened.

Vergizev, the man who was responsible for me spending 6 years in jail.

He gave his life to save me.

A firefighter chopper came in a couple of hours, he flew around and then left.

Then the others came on the cars.

I was there. I didn’t run.

The prosecutor’s only right about one thing,

I had reasons to hate Vergizev.

But as it happens with people, we forgave each other.

We had time for it.

I know it’s easier for prosecution to believe that a human

is an animal.

It’s enough to simply imagine

how one animal is torturing the other one,

enjoying its revenge, to send a man to jail.

I

Have no direct or indirect evidence to prove my innocence.

I have nothing to present to the court,

to the jury

to prove the prosecution wrong.

But I

can only say one thing

I didn’t kill Anton.

- Let’s go. - No, go.

I mean stay.

I don’t want to be here worried on my own.

Do you have cigarettes?

I’ve quit.

Why is he not coming out?

Does it mean they are giving him the guilty verdict?

It’s always different.

Glebov asked me to find out

about your daughter’s foster parents.

It turns out that her father, Lev Suslov

testified against a kingpin.

The family was in the wit protection program,

they were moved to a different place.

Here’s a person

who can help you to get in touch with them.

Are you sure you won’t hurt your daughter

looking for her?

Thanks.

I didn’t kill Anton.

What’s this? A bomb?

Here’s information about you, Anton, over all those 6 years.

Papers, cut outs, pictures, everything’s here.

Why do I need it?

You can do whatever you want. Throw it away, burn it.

I don’t want to have my revenge on anybody.

I know a lot about you.

But I think we need to stop.

What do you want?

I need my daughter. I need

them to restore my parental rights. You have connections. Will you help?

I see.

Fine.

I’ll try.

I’ll try.

9 YEARS AGO

Hello,

damn.

- Where are you going? - Home.

I’ll call you back. What do you mean home? Go

back in your room. Come on-come on-come on.

- Let me go. - Come on. Go to your room.

What have you done? Eldar Markovich’s been up for two days.

What happened here?

She took my stuff.

They brought her here from school. Their local nurse diagnosed pregnancy.

I’m fine. Let me go, please.

Quiet. How far are you?

I don’t know.

When did your period stop?

I had it about 5 or 6 months ago.

- Quiet-quiet-quiet. - What’s this?

Hold on, great, everything’s fine, everything’s

great. Relax. Here-here-here. Hold on.

That’s right, like that, hold on. Careful.

Ilya Petrovich, please, excuse me. I’m a little late. May I come in?

You’ve already entered.

Sit down.

No, not you.

It’s the fourth time you’re late, the rest of your group manages to follow the rules.

The class is over for today.

Ok. Concentrate. Breathe. Inhale-exhale

Breathe-breathe. Breathe. Well done.

Ok, once again. Get ready.

Let’s wait, I can’t.

If you couldn’t carry it, try to give it birth.

How are you?

- What are you doing here, sir? - He’s my husband.

Are you a doctor.

He’s a Ph.D. He teaches doctors in the medical academy.

So, are you sure you don’t want me to give birth with you?

I am, I’ll be shy.

Exhale, push it. Come on, well done, well done,

well done. Here-here- here, that’s better.

- Great-great-great, come on, girl. - One two three. Go!

Come on-come on-come on. Come on.

Come on, coming. I need adrenaline. Cut the cord.

Here. Great, take him.

- Wrap him. - Ok, Let’s carry him.

Very well.

Well done. You have a boy. That’s it.

Yes?

There is another one with premature baby.

Ok, I’ll be right there.

Shagina was scheduled with Belyakov.

Did you get in touch with him?

Have you found Yura?

I can’t reach him. I was told he went hunting.

He knows Shagin.

Belyakov got scared as soon as he heard the stage of pregnancy.

He doesn’t have a big experience of delivering premature babies.

And here is someone he knows, he doesn’t want

to do anything wrong. He really asked for help

He said he’ll take two night shifts or weekend shift.

He’s ran away, he got spooked.

Ilya, I’m sorry that I didn’t help you with the

birth. I didn’t know it would happen prematurely.

The pregnancy was going well.

Of course, I wouldn’t leave if I knew you needed me.

Don’t blame yourself. Tell me,

why is there no signature of the head doctor under

the time of death? He carried out the surgery.

It’s my second shift in the row too.

There is nothing good about it.

What do I tell the woman in labor If she asks?

I don’t know. Tell her he went to see the family. Took time off.

Yes.

Where do we put a new planigraph?

You were going to deliver it tomorrow.

We’ve received the delivery document for today.

Where do we put it?

Don’t do anything without me, wait for me downstairs.

Got it.

So,

let’s go give birth?

Who will be delivering?

Doctor Antipin.

Yes, just a moment, I’ll be right there.

Inhale-exhale. Here. Hold it-hold it, well done.

Be careful when you put it, guys. Take it to the second floor.

Good afternoon.

Head of the ward, doctor Antipin.

- How are you? - Fine.

Everything’s fine.

Get the labor room ready. You can stay here.

Tamara, are you done yet? We have a new woman.

Like it’s possible to finish.

So, let’s go?

She wanted to run away!

Look at all the mess she’s made.

Antipin won’t allow her to give birth in here. We need to prepare a different room.

I’ll try, I’ll try.

Tell me, tell me that everything’ll be fine.

Everything’ll be fine.

It isn’t possible any other way.

Don’t rush, don’t rush. Sit down carefully, lean there.

Shoe covers.

So, Has Shagina given birth?

Not yet. Don’t worry, she will.

Ok, let’s wait, let’s wait.

Construction works?

They’re installing a new planigraph.

Why are bystanders here?

It’s my son, Maksim, he’s just started his internship. I told you yesterday.

I see. Does the woman not mind?

I don’t. I’m a doctor too, he should learn.

How’s Shagina?

Don’t worry, sir. Wait.

- Congratulations, pops. - So?

You have a son. Everything’s fine.

- Thanks. - 3200. He feels great.

Champagne. Thanks. Don’t worry.

Go home, go. You can come tomorrow.

- Can I bring her something? - No, she doesn't need anything.

- What time tomorrow? - Not before 10.

Ok, everything’s fine, everything’s fine.

Great. Inhale.

- Push. - There are no guilty ones in your case.

It happens sometimes. Human body isn’t perfect.

No need to lecture me on a human body.

When the inference on your case is drawn, you’ll get it.

Wait.

Inhale. Push! Push!

Well done. More-more-more. More! Push!

More-more-more-more-more! Push.

She was given anesthesia and they asked her

to lay down a little, but she tried to walk.

- Really? -And where to? - I don’t know. Probably to you.

Why do you think that? Tania really could have tripped over, as the nurse said.

You might get jelly legs

because of epidural.

Stop it!! I was with her! I was with her all the

time before they took her to the labor room.

You see, the thing is, that she tripped over and

hit herself when she was walking in the hallway.

We immediately plugged her nose.

We got to the obstetrics as soon as it stopped bleeding.

- Breathe-breathe-breathe! - Well done! Well done!

- More-more-more! - Push! Push!

A little more! Work-work-work.

Maksim, go upstairs and tell them to stop working.

That’s all I know. Can I go?

Wait.

Tests, examines, thanatopsy report- how can you manage it all in 15 minutes?

I’m sorry but I don’t have to report to you.

Really!

You admitted going outside of the maternity

clinic. Maybe Tanya came at that time.

- Just a little more, come on. - More! Push! Push!

I can’t see anything. Why won’t the generator turn on?

The lamp fell!

- No pulse. - What? What happened?

- No pulse! Light! Light here. - Maks, careful with the light!

Closer! Closer!

The baby is back in.

We need to do c-section.

Gena will do it. My hand is covered in blood, I can’t.

- A surgery in darkness? - Yes, in darkness.

Hold this, father!

It’s pointless! Take care of the baby. Note the death time.

Stop. We need to prepare the surgery room.

Go get the trolley.

Rimma, so?

Nothing yet.

Thanks.

Levchenko took a girl out.

What Levchenko?

An anesthesiologist?

No, his intern son.

Is she alive?

Yes, she’s 2800. Everything’s fine.

We should go to the father, tell him about his daughter

and wife.

That we killed her.

-So, are you sure you want to give birth with me? -I’m sure.

Tell me, tell me that everything’ll be fine.

Let me go in? I’m a doctor ok?

So what if you are a doctor? It’s not allowed.

Call again.

I’ve just called.

The birth is in progress. Take a seat and don’t worry.

Think about it. The time of death is 8.20,

Antipin came out to see me at 9.40 minutes! What was he doing for 40 minutes?

Anything. Delivering babies,

washing, getting changed, anything.

It’s an accident Eldar.

The building is old.

Nobody could guess it’ll happen, you see?

I

I should have known…

It’s my mistake…

I’m responsible for it.

Your wife couldn’t be helped…

We did everything possible.

Trust me.

- Wait. Wait-wait-wait. - Out.

That’s it, that’s it, that’s it, thanks, thanks, that’s it.

Your wife started bleeding. We gave her anesthesia to stitch up the vessels.

She never woke up from it,

but we saved the girl. The girl is well,

good, 2800.

But you can’t see her now.

You mean to tell me

that the lamp fell on Tanya?

Listen, if it’s an accident

why Antipin hides it?

Why? He always hides everything. Why?

They’ve forged the medical records.

They’ve forged medical records!

There is nothing about broken nose.

You’ve stolen that picture.

So?

When did it happen? Who’s guilty?

Maybe they failed to reanimate her due to the nasal blocking,

but if aspiration happened, why isn’t it mentioned anywhere?

Antipin doesn’t answer my calls.

Get up, you need to have breakfast. Good morning.

I’m not hungry.

I heard it yesterday. I won’t put up with it today.

Get up.

If not for me, do it for the kids. Please, stop dying here.

- Can you really say that? - They’ve called you from work.

I’m on holiday.

Stop blaming yourself.

Think about all the people you’ve helped.

It was reported on the news that a 500 gram baby was born in Germany.

Why is nobody talking about your newborn?

The boy was even smaller.

The boy’s very weak.

We can celebrate when

he won’t need us.

You understand it, but you’re still in bed.

Get up.

Your kids need you, your colleagues, future moms.

Come on, get up.

Shave, take a shower and go to work.

Come on-come on.

- How long has he not been breathing for? - Three minutes.

Why ate the veins are dilated?

- What did you inject? - It’s my fault.

- What did you inject? - Nutrition compound. I’ve mixed them up.

Careful, careful. Here.

Attention.

Come on my boy, come on-come on, come on, boy.

Come on-come on.

Starting, starting, starting.

Well done, good job, well done. Well done.

Well done.

Well done.

How could you mix them up?

How could you mix them up? They are even different colors.

Thanks god he’s survived!

The germicidal lamp was on. It was an accident.

An accident? You know what happens because of accidents? You’re worse than his mother.

Because she’s accidentally got pregnant, and you’ve almost accidentally killed it.

You should think before you act. Only in this order.

Hello, Tina.

Hello.

How are you feeling?

I’m fine today.

Great. I wanted to speak to you.

Your boy’s been here for a month.

We should take care of him together, right?

For this little guy every day is like a year. And

it turns out that you haven’t seen him for 20 years.

It’s not good.

I’m only 17.

I know.

Tell me, have you thought of the name for him?

What name?

Your father’s or grandad’s name?

Do you have any ideas?

I don’t feel anything for him.

He’s like a stranger to me.

It’ll get better once you start feeding him.

The nurse told me he’ll be disabled.

No. She said it without thinking.

Premature babies are often not different from others. So what should we call him?

You think about it,

I don’t care.

I needed to warn the girl about the consequences.

Rimma, nobody asked you to give prognosis.

He barely puts on weight. You saw him.

Weak reflexes, poor muscle tone.

If I was his mother, I’d want to know what I

should be expecting with this type of baby.

Dear, leave your predictions, ok?

You and I have a problem.

- What problem? - The thing is, Shagin

wants to sue us and he’s digging dirt on you.

He’s quite good at it.

He has the right to do so.

Yes, of course he does, but I am your lawyer.

Listen to my advice

be careful with him.

- I don’t meet him. - You don’t.

But people from your clinic do.

You should understand her.

That’s how you thank me.

Well, thank you very much.

You’re snooping through archives,

digging dirt on me.

Wonderful. Just wonderful.

Wait-wait. I

I only got the x-ray picture.

Ilya is my friend and he wants to understand why his wife died.

I see. You decided to help your friend.

You should have helped them before, when they asked you to do it.

- I just want to fix my mistake now. - It’s too late.

It’s too late to fix.

Shagina is dead.

Wait,

wait.

Are you

trying to take my place?

You can have it

But I have a question.

Will you be able to do it?

Can you be trusted with the place?

You should give it a try

and see.

Thank you for your honesty.

You should be consistent then.

Spare me your presence.

Forever.

Do you want me to leave? Me?

Who will you take for my place?

I can take anyone,

even a fresh out of school guy for your place.

Your Honor, Our side would like to present the feedback from the women.

All of them gave birth in doctor Antipin’s clinic. All of them

had the similar pathology to the one Ilya Petrovich’s wife had.

My wife had no pathology. Her pregnancy was going well.

Plaintiff, do not interrupt the defendant's lawyer.

Ilya Petrovich, I understand the bitterness of your loss,

but the doctors' conclusions say, alas, the opposite.

Lawyer, the court cannot attach this picture to the case as material evidence.

Did you lose it?

It’s not the end.

I think Shagin won’t stop.

- I think we’ll need to give him money. - He won’t take it.

Listen,

his student, Vergizaev, contacted me. Do you know him?

No.

I’m 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

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

Just hire me.

Great, well done.

Great, well done.

Write the application.

So, he has an idea how to deal with the case.

What does he want?

It’s clear what. The money.

Fine. Do what you think is necessary.

So, colleagues, we’ve studied the accident.

Does the board have any questions? No? Let’s finish then.

- Won’t we wait for Shagin? - Who?

The widower. He also has a medical degree.

He’d like to see the results of the work of the board.

So if there aren’t any questions.

Thank you, colleagues. The hearing is over.

- Thank you for your work. - Thanks.

Eldar Markovich, wait, please.

I have a question.

You have a contract with the maternity clinic, right?

- Yes. - When does it end?

It ends in October.

But if you feel I’m guilty I can quit.

No, on the contrary.

We are opening an obstetrics and gynecology center.

I have considered several candidates and

realized that

you are suitable for the position of chief physician.

Really.

Thank you,

Valentin Sergeyevich, for this offer,

but

in the current situation

I am...

I am not ready to accept it.

Moreover,

I confess, I cannot even discuss this now.

Sorry, colleagues.

It's a pity,

well, think about it.

Thanks. All the best.

- All the best. - All the best.

Yes…

- He’s put on 200 grams. - Yes, too little, too little.

It’s a wonder that he’s alive. I thought he wouldn’t make it.

How’s his mother feeling?

The mother wants to be released as soon as possible.

I see.

Hello, yes-yes-yes.

I’m coming.

Yes. Ok.

I can understand when you aren’t telling me about your entanglements,

but when you aren’t telling me about you

receiving the offer to become head of the center…

- Who told you about it? - Why did you refuse the job offer?

Who told you about it?

- It doesn’t matter. (X2) - It does.(X2)

- You haven’t even asked about the salary. - Oh, That’s what worries you.

Somebody should be worried about it in this family.

For God’s sake. Calm down.

I have nobody.

She introduced herself as Tina.

- She’s a patient. - A patient…

Do you give your phone number to all of the patients?

No, not to everyone. Only to those who want to leave their children.

When they gave me the offer they made it look like

they wanted to support me, to help.

You usually need to pay for gifts like this for a long time.

Yes, it’s good when you have something to pay with.

Your pride

will leave your jobless, with no money and no presents.

I’m sorry I’m late.

- You got the money? - Yes.

Here.

So?

Here you are.

- What is it? - The thing you asked for.

I didn’t ask for anything…

- What’s this? - Police, freeze.

Wait. Wait, guys, wait!

Do you recognize this man?

This is Antipin.

So, do you admit that you’ve given this picture to Kornilov?

I only gave him money.

But there was a picture in the envelope too.

There are your fingerprints on it.

The expertise confirms it.

Nonsense.

Why would I give him the picture?

You wanted to give Kornilov a job once you’ve learnt about his criminal past.

I suggested he digs a grave. That’s all I wanted.

You wanted Antipin dead.

I wanted justice, if he’s guilty.

I wouldn’t be too sad if the man died.

- Does the lawyer have any questions? - Not yet, your Honor.

That’s it.

- What do you want? - Will you sign it?

- No. - Can you say it so everyone hears it?

I won't sign it.

I'm sorry that I'm devoid of herd instinct.

But if we don’t do anything Shagin’ll go to jail.

-Like our signatures can change something. You should sign then.

I told you, I’m not signing anything.

Tea, coffee?

No, thanks.

- Anatoly Maksimovich will be right there. - Thank you.

Now explain it to me, please. Why did you do that?!

And what about me, tell me, eh? Was there a choice?

Shagin started a case against you, by the way.

There was the testimony of a man who repaired some kind of surgery lamp for you.

- You…You paid money. - Yes, I paid him money!!!

Because he patched the ceiling in the hospital!

Yes, but it could be regarded as an attempt to bribe a witness.

You just had to agree to the promotion,

because it's impossible to ruin such cases without influential people.

Thank you for the kind advice!

And Shagin will now be in prison!

Would you like to be in prison instead of him?

How much will they give him?

I don't know. I think

two years at most, on probation.

To the wall. Hands.

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.

The most important thing is that you’ll be not suspected.

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

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..

The feet are cold.

Why are the feet cold?

I get it, I get it.

What are we going to do? Has the mother changed her mind?

No, he has a heart defect.

But we are not afraid of such words.

Get him ready to be released.

- Can I have you for a moment? - Yes.

Shagin needs to be transferred to another prison.

What are you talking about?

You’ve sent him to jail, so you help now,

- or he’ll get killed. - How can I help?

Can you tell me who else I can contact?

All right. What's going on there?

-Shagin fought for the rights of prisoners -Ok.

The boss, of course, did not like it, now he is sitting in the punishment cell.

And they are trying to plan an escape for him, in

in which he will be shot by the guards.

Please help me.

I do not know...

well,

I will try to do something.

Can you help him?

- No. - Why?

How do you imagine it, huh?

At first, very influential people

helped us to send him to jail.

And now we come to them and say: "Please, play it back."

Six months ago, you stood here

and promised me that he would be given a year

or two on probation! And they sentenced him to seven!!!

Yes, I was wrong. If he didn’t act up

in court, he would have received two years.

What are you talking about?

We’ve sent him to jail! We’ve sent him to jail!

And you shout about it louder!!!

And you will find yourself in his place!

Who are you, a saint, anyway?!

Have you forgotten?! There was a problem. I solved it! I did it!

Yes, I violated moral and ethical norms!

These are the costs of my profession.

What other options do I have

Everyone is gathered in the conference room, waiting for your speech.

What speech?

What do you mean? Vergizaev worked with us for five years, many people loved him.

Yes. They loved him.

Well, say a few words.

We still need to see Anton Kirillich off.

Everyone is there, waiting for you.

Okay, I'll be right there.

Collect his personal belongings and give them to the widow.

Ok.

Hello, Valya.

Sorry I'm late. I was delivering a baby. I’ve just finished.

What are you doing here?

I was told that today is forty days, a wake.

But I didn't invite you.

You promised Anton a promotion and when you realized

that you no longer needed him, you fired him.

Tell me, why did you drag him into your beef with Shagin?

- I didn’t. - Ah, of course.

It's Anton's fault.

Is that why you came here?

To blame Anton?

I came here to

express my condolences.

Go away.

Only Anton's friends are here.

We were friends too.
