Have you been working too much?

Son, it's Saturday today.

You should go to the river or the forest.

Or even better, go to Carmano.

Why Carmano, Mom?

Well, we have a lot of chickens.

And we have ducks, too.

But we don't have any piglets.

Shouldn't we buy some, huh?

Oh, forget it, Mom. They'll start oinking and there'll be no peace from

Well, how much peace do you really need?

They'll oink for a bit and then stop.

A pig is a good thing to have.

Now, I really want you to take a very good look at this.

Wow, look at all of this shattered glass lying around.

Double -paned.

From Bemsk.

Who wants glass? Double -paned from Bemsk.

Hey, kid, do you need any glass?

No. I don't.

Too bad.

Well, look, it's good glass.

Plus, it's double -paned from Demsk.

Gems. No.

I'd rather have piglets.

But where are they?

Ah, go over there, to that corner.

You'll see a man with a mustache.

He's got piglets like other people have dogs.

All kinds of piglets, you name it, he's got them.

Who is it that really wants to step up and take the lead at this very moment?

Piglets!

Piglets? Who wants them?

Go ahead and take those items with you. Young man, the piglets are nice.

Their little snouts are just right.

What kind of snouts do you need?

Once for a gramophone record?

I don't have a gramophone.

I'd like a bigger snout, actually.

You're a fool.

You'd be better off buying yourself a gramophone.

All right.

Name your price.

Now, which one of these specific options do you prefer?

What a difficult person you are.

First the snouts aren't right. Then the price is too high.

You're so gloomy. You're the gloomy one.

Just look at those droopy mustaches. Now he doesn't like the mustaches.

What a guy.

Where do they even find people like you?

From the village of Psyche.

Give me a new lower price.

All right, fine. I'll knock off three rubles.

Just for you.

Take the money and put the piglets in my bag.

Hey, what's the matter? Take them right in the bag and give me your empty one.

And now it is done.

Who actually needs double -glazed windows?

Right here in Demskoia.

Tired of waiting?

Oh, she's here.

What do you have in your bag?

Really a piglet, huh?

A couple of little pigs, Mom.

Life is more fun when you live with a pig.

Come on, untie it faster, Vasya.

What's the rush, Mom?

Well, bag man, have you lost all shame?

Pretending to be a pig in a sack?

Take a look at this.

Right over here.

A bee.

All right.

Vasya, go to sleep.

Look, some people don't even have chickens and they still live.

Mom, come on, show me the sack I brought the dog in.

Oh, good people. Vasya is sniffing sacks.

Wait, Mom, don't shout.

You'd better smell it and see what it smells like.

Smell it, and if anything happens, jump aside right away.

Well, Mom, what does it smell like?

Well, it's obvious. What? Like a dog sack.

Actually, no. This entire sack smells exactly like sweet golden honey.

That's how I'll find Chernusov by this sack.

It certainly looks like that might be the case.

It's him. Look at that. He's stuck on a mustache.

He's disguised himself.

Hey, look over there. Something is definitely moving inside his large sack.

He probably stuffed the dog in there.

We need... To get out of here.

Wait, Rashpill. Don't rush.

The guy's a fool.

I'll put on a show for him now. Isn't it dangerous?

What's dangerous about it?

My papers are in order.

I'll teach him once and for all not to go looking for piglets.

Just hold him up there for a little minute.

Now. What on earth do you think you are doing?

Selling mustache.

None. None of your glass business.

You don't need any glass?

Get lost.

Well, you are incredibly rude.

Absolutely everything that belongs to you. Documents.

Please, go ahead and take a seat, my fellow citizen.

Aha, got you.

That's him. I recognize him.

Calm down, citizen Kurochkin.

The law does not permit talking with your fist.

Why don't you tell the story from the very beginning?

Kurochkin.

Last Sunday, I was slaughtering piglets right at this mustached guy's place.

I got home, looked, and there was a dog in the sack.

What?

You bought it? I bought it from you. Hey, sit down.

We'll sort this out.

What kind of dog exactly was in the sack?

What breed?

The banded breed.

Shaggy, hairy.

Surname? Vasek Rolesov.

Is everything really as Citizen Kurochkin describes it? It was the other

around. It was Kurochkin himself who had the mustache.

And mine don't grow yet.

And what's that? Those aren't a mustache.

That's cut from my mom's fur coat.

I see, I see. And what do you have in your sack?

A sailor.

Well, let's wait and see exactly what kind of skilled sailor it really is.

Why bother with them, Comrade Sergeant?

Line them up against the wall and be done with it.

You'll sit here until Captain Boulderave arrives.

I want you to look, look deeply into my stern and steady eyes.

Look at me now, because this might very well be the very last time that we ever

see each other.

Who are you?

And you?

Everyone in Tarasovka knows me.

Put out the top, and all the owls know me.

Actually, Rashpili knows me quite well.

Who? Me, Baton.

And I'm Vasha Korolev.

Heard of me?

Heard of you?

Hey, Vasya, what did they pick you up for?

For piglets.

I also remember how you got caught with the calves.

Vasya, I'm in here now for something stupid.

I knocked the antlers off a moose. For what for?

Well, he actually stepped right on my foot, and it really hurt.

Take a look at this. Right over here. Look closely and gaze into my stern

Look at me now, because this might be the very last time you ever see me.

Is this the specific one you were searching for?

This very one?

Exactly so, Comrade Boldarev.

Fake mustache under his nose, a dog in the sack.

It can't be that it's this very one.

But I assure you it is, my dear Comrade Captain.

He is nothing but a swindler.

The one we're looking for is elderly, but this one is too young.

Well, kid, tell us, why did you put on a mustache?

For disguise.

He puts one on, so I will too.

All right.

Tell us, Sergeant, what does Kurochkin look like?

Short? In height? An elderly individual?

With a distinctive duck -shaped nose?

Duck -shaped. This Kurochkin is exactly the one we're looking for.

How so?

Kurochkin? He showed his passport. Lives in Perlovka, guarding the potato

warehouse. The passport is fake?

And there has never been a potato warehouse in Perlovka?

Here you go, citizen.

I am incredibly sorry for the mistake on my part.

Please accept my apologies.

This isn't my sack. This is your Karachkin sack.

Go ahead, smell it.

I can't figure out what it smells like.

The scent is very subtle.

Could it be dill?

Nothing subtle about it. It smells like honey. And I also found a bee at the

doghouse. With these clues, we can find Karachkin.

Hey, this guy.

He can sniff things out and use his head.

I'm measuring a little.

Yes, that means the sailor broke with the criminal world.

Decided to start a new life?

Who enjoys portraying a pig?

I still need to try it.

Does he hate us on the trail of Kurochkinsky?

Search, sailor, search.

Where is Kurochkin? Bees, bees.

Sailor.

Hey, follow him right now.

Sergeant, you remain on duty.

What are you doing now?

I'm finally back home.

Oh, it feels so wonderful to be back here again.

Well, it certainly appears to be the case right here. He led us where we

to go.

Well, if everything is correct, you will receive a pocket watch with music.

Who's there?

Plumbers.

What do you want?

We want to fix the plumbing, but I don't have any indoor plumbing.

I have a well.

All right, open up.

We're from the police.

Then show your ID. How can I show it?

The door is closed.

No problem. Show it anyway.

I'll see it through the crack.

What the devil?

Well, can you see it or not?

Just move it a bit more to the left.

Hey, plumbers!

Why are you so quiet?

Why are you shooting anyway?

I'm willing to bet that you definitely won't be fixing the plumbing anymore.

Will you?

Not with you around, but... Why can't I see you through the crack?

What, are you hiding or something?

We're lying on the ground. We're scared.

You'd better just stay lying there.

Or else I'll shoot everyone.

He has already left the building.

He is nowhere to be found.

It appears that he has already left the building for the day.

How did he get out?

The windows are closed.

Wait, wait.

What's that above the stove?

What exactly was that thing just now?

One thing I truly love about these black swans is the vibrant and striking look

of their red beaks.

Hey, are you still alive over there?

Alive? See how things are going.

Through the hatch above the stove, the unknown man got into the attic.

And on the other side of the house, there's a ladder leaning against the

That's how he got away.

Where to?

Where to?

How should I know where?

We want to fix the well.

If you do anything without permission again, you can kiss it all goodbye.

I am currently writing about this.

But how exactly... What do you think? What is it?

Iodine. Where did it come from?

From the cabinet.

Carefully read the label.

Straska Pharmacy iodine tincture.

So what?

So what?

Just remember it, that's all.

It might come in handy.

But why do we need iodine? The bullet missed anyway.

Took bread.

Took salt. Took the bottle.

We should take some onions, too.

But where would you get them?

Hands up.

old acquaintance.

What are you doing here, Rashfield?

How... What do you mean, comrade officer?

I came home.

Aha, so you came home.

And who was shooting?

Well... How would I know?

I was at the store.

I came back and there was a hole.

Came hole.

It's turning out interesting.

The house is yours, but you don't know who was in the house.

I would think about it if I were you.

About... What should I think? Let the horse think. She has a big head.

Well... If you don't want to think, then let's go.

Where? Where it needs to go.

Ah, ah. Maybe the tenant was shooting.

What tenant?

Yes, Vaska.

Kurochkin? No.

Kularesov. Exactly, exactly.

Vaska Kularesov. Yeah, Kularesov. This is how it goes. Well, all right, Citizen

Rasp.

Stay at home. Don't go anywhere.

Clear? Yes. Where am I going with her?

Help! Is there something bothering you right now? Or is there anything at all

that you would like to talk about or explain to me?

What happened?

Everything's fine, Comrade Captain.

I caught one.

Hey, who's there?

I'll kill you!

A dog is man's friend.

And so this man, accompanied by his faithful dog, can finally begin the long

journey back to his own home.

To be perfectly honest, I have absolutely no use for plumbers who work

particular manner and lack professional standards.

Yes, that is absolutely correct.

There are local folks who just aren't lucky.

They're always late for the train. They wash dogs instead of piglets.

Nothing but bad luck.

Be grateful you're not riding in a sack.

I don't recognize something here. Lights out.

Take a look. Take a look.

Into my stern eyes.

Baton. Lights out.

Where are you going?

Just for a ride.

Why? Ride around for nothing.

If you want money, earn it.

What money?

Lights out.

Listen up.

Like a horse.

You'll pull up to the little shop. It's called Cultural Goods.

You'll grab the stuff like a horse, and with your hooves, with your hooves.

What stuff?

Good stuff.

I'll take the first.

We'll carry the cameras and TVs ourselves.

Lights out.

I think I'll wait for now.

I'm a young guy, and as for being a horse, I guess I haven't grown into that

yet. You're a young ram.

If you don't want to, that's your choice.

This is my stop.

Goodbye for now.

Remember to take care of yourself.

Iodine from Tarasovka.

Remember. Hold on a second. Wait up.

I actually agree.

And furthermore, in addition to that...

Tell me, did you happen to find the horse?

Yes. We were buddies. We did time together.

What? Who did you bring, you dog?

The horse?

That's the police horse from Captain Boulder.

It's not my fault.

I'm not to blame.

Speaking for myself personally right now, I will hunt you down and I'll kill

every single one of you.

Just you wait.

The horse has had it now.

Who else? What is fate bringing here now?

Who's there?

Plumbers!

We are looking to repair the plumbing.

Ah, I think I see exactly what you mean now.

Monsieur! Did you see who Batten roared?

Who? You?

I'm really not to blame.

Come on, leave him alone!

Better tell me, what should we do with Vasya? We can't let him go. He'll run

straight to Boldyrev.

There's nowhere for me to run.

The house is surrounded.

You're lying, Ivaska.

Say you're lying.

All right, fine.

Go take a look.

This is the police.

Open up right now.

Look, it's a roundup.

Hey, stop right there, chicken.

Stop. Good for nothing, tomato.

Take him away from here right this very second.

My very dear and always most loyal comrade.

Captain, I wanted a horse.

Where's Karachkin? Gone?

Too bad we don't have a dog?

And... What about the sailor? What sailor?

Tarakana, follow me.

Oh, my.

Are you there?

Right over there.

Exactly just like that.

Right over there. Just look right there.

That's something!

Yeah, Citizen Karachkin, you don't look so good.

And your affairs aren't looking good either.

You better tell me, where's the money?

I don't have any money.

I had three rubles, and even those were taken away.

That's not much.

Where's the rest?

Yes. Maybe they spent it all on food. Ice cream, soda, this and that. What ice

cream? They stole a lot.

But where are they hiding it?

It's all clear.

They stuffed it in a cast iron pot and buried it in the ground. Well, no way.

You'll need a three ruble note, dig up the cast iron pot, then bury it again

you'll have a lot of trouble.

Yes, for people like this, Kurochkin money has no smell.

Comrade. Captain, I think she smells.

Everything is clear.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

Not at all. Maybe.

Well, why can't it?

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

Of course.

Well, Vaska, it's a pity Rushpill didn't finish you off.

It's just a stone's throw from here to the owl's den.

Stop the car, Comrade Sergeant Major, or my mom will get scared.

She'll think they've taken Vashya.

However, even so, having said all that... You figured out the money thing

well. Good job.

Do you want to work with me?

In the police, you mean?

Yeah.

And... What's the salary?

The salary is good.

Besides, what about the uniform?

Boots.

Patent leather.

Wearing a pair of sturdy boots is a great idea.

Well, I'm off.

Mom's been waiting.

It's twenty to seven.

How much would that be exactly, please?

It's... It is currently twenty minutes to seven.

Or eighteen -forty in the evening.
