EPISODE 11

- Did you call for me? - Yes, take a seat.

Do you want to tell me something?

No.

Yilia Sergeyevna, I value you very much

as a professional.

Thank you, Zinaida Alexeyevna.

Why haven't you told me that Katya is pregnant?

I wanted to run some tests first

to check everything and make sure.

Do you understand that your personal affection

can get in the way of your further work here?

I do.

Don't do anything stupid.

Run all the tests and report to me.

Okay.

How are you feeling today?

- Perfect. - That's wonderful.

Though I was told you were going to run away today.

I wanted to have some air.

It's fine. But we have a particular time for that.

Alright, let's forget this incident.

Yulya, dear! You'll need to sign a paper.

What paper?

It says that you understand

the reason for your admission.

I won't sign anything.

I'm not sick, I don't need any treatment.

Please, understand. You mustn't give birth now.

Giving birth will only deteriorate your state.

- Do you have children? - Of course.

I wish they will die very soon.

Yulya, dear, prepare an abortion.

No! No!

Give me back to myself I won't play anymore

Give me back to myself! Why do you need me like I am...?

The procedure was effective.

I did everything you ordered.

That's very good.

Lord, have mercy.

Bye, bye, baby! Go to sleep

Grabbing your Mom's hand

Are you crazy?

Enough. Calm down!

Are you nuts? You're pregnant!

Enough! There was no abortion!

I tricked them all. Do you hear me?

Enough!

Do you hear me or not?

I simply gave you a sedative.

Your baby is alive. Do you hear me?

Calm down, please. Your baby is alive.

Do you hear me?

I'm not lying to you.

Please, get down.

Please. It's enough, get down.

Take that thing off.

Come on, dear.

Come on, please, hurry up.

Take it off.

Everything's fine. Come,

come to me.

Come.

Everything's fine.

Come to me. I'll help you.

I'll get you out of here, I'll try to.

Everything's fine, come to me.

Everything will be fine.

Everything's fine.

- Hello, Sergey Lvovich. - Hello.

It's been long since you visited.

You don't check on the old men at all.

How are you feeling?

Katya spent so much time on me that she could've raise the dead.

Why are we standing by the door? Come in.

What brings you here?

I wanted to talk about my aunt.

Sit down.

You know, I've decided to leave.

I think it'll be better for everyone.

It's a very right decision.

You understand that in my state I'd better return to my family.

Yes, of course.

But I have one last favour to ask of you.

Of course, everything you want.

Let's meet for the last time.

Let's say goodbye properly.

Alright.

- Tomorrow. - As you wish.

And I hoped so much that she was delusional.

Don't' think she could help your parents

at that time,

let alone to save them.

You know what times there were.

She has been keeping it secret for so many years.

What could she have told you back then?

You were just a child.

You know, Panova, all's not so bad.

Everything has its bright side.

First, you've lost weight.

Second, you have fans even here.

Third, you look good with short hair.

And also this soulful look...

That's my first smile during all this time.

Please, give my big thanks to Zhanna.

Did they know here that you're pregnant?

They all think I've had an abortion.

I won't be able to hide it for long.

When my belly grows, they'll understand everything.

At the best, they'll take my baby away to an orphanage

and leave me here for the rest of my life.

Katya, Rem is in Moscow.

Don't tell me anything about him.

I don't want to hear about this man. He betrayed me.

- Katya, he didn't. - Venya...

He came to give you this book.

Do you see? It's a proof of his love to you, not his betrayal.

You need to go. The nurses will return from their break soon.

- May I have a minute more? - Be quick.

He said to tell you that he'd think of something.

I'm sorry, Katya,

but this is all I can do for you.

Of course, we'll write another collective letter.

We'll go on writing letters.

Venya,

Venya.

Thank you for everything.

Panova, you're the best.

That's it...

A flower...

Flower...

Flower...

Felix Krutsky, who's book you're holding,

was a well-known Soviet international journalist.

Thanks to his international reports, the USSR citizens

could learn about another way of life.

This book allows to understand the secret of the Russian soul.

Felix died in the prime of his life.

This book would've never seen the light of the day

if it were not for his widow, Yekaterina Panina.

This woman, whose life was full of dramatic moments,

had managed to keep her husband's manuscript

despite the danger to herself

due to the unjust allegations of treason against her husband.

She herself was subjected to persecution.

I want to beg this woman, whom I love wholeheartedly,

to forgive me for everything

including the things through no fault of mine,

for everything that caused her adversities.

I would've never caused you pain, never hurt you, my love.

She felt a life-long guilt for what had happened with your parents.

But she didn't dare to confess it.

She was scared.

She was scared of losing you.

She's a murderer.

She's a murderer.

She's a murderer.

Manya, dear, I thought you wouldn't be coming today.

Kiss me.

- Are you Vladimir? - Are you Yulya?

Yes, I am.

Katya Panova's father told me that you can help.

I'll try to.

I work as a nurse in a mental hospital.

I met Katya there.

She won't be getting out of there alive.

Goncharov said you loved her.

It was in the past. She has traded me for some French guy.

She expects his child.

Katya expects a child?

Everyone thinks she has had an abortion.

But the ruse will be revealed soon.

Katya urgently needs to escape.

I can get her out of the building but she won't pass the guard post.

What can I do?

I have an idea.

We have work therapy on the first floor.

The patients make boxes there.

Every other day a truck comes to the yard to load those boxes.

- You do have a truck, don't you? - I do.

Listen, Valera,

- you know Dina Radova, right? - Sure.

I supervise the Fashion House.

Only she doesn't work there anymore.

Right.

For a long time, she's been helping us.

She performed certain duties.

As of late, she... how can I say it...

- She fell short of expectation - Exactly.

Late night today, she shall leave.

I'm not sure she'll actually do that.

I'd like you to follow her to the station,

make sure she boards her train, and report to me in the morning.

I've heard our position of deputy editor-in-chief

will be vacant soon.

Your information is wrong.

The position of deputy editor-in-chief is already...

just a moment.

Please, switch me to the editor-in-chief of...

- what's the paper's name? - "Rabochaya Stolitsa".

"Rabochaya Stolitsa".

Vladimir Nikolayevich, it's me.

Recognized? Good.

Listen, I have an idea.

What if the position of editor-in-chief

goes to a promising young employee named Valery Zubov?

He's good and diligent.

I too don't see why not.

After all, we need to make way for young stuffers.

Thanks.

- Thank you. - Tomorrow morning...

I'll report.

Vera, how are you feeling?

There, it's for you.

It's Felix's book. They published it in France.

Felix who?

Krutsky.

It's the book about you.

You've been waiting it for so long.

I'll read it,

to refresh my French.

- Easy, easy. - Come on, come on!

Undress, I'll be in a moment.

Wake up, it's time.

Why are you so late?

- They've been looking for a substitute. - Why hasn't Yegor come?

He fell ill.

- I see. The flu. - Yeah.

Many people are sick nowadays.

What would you do...

Let's go.

Come.

Hurry up.

Go right behind me.

- Have you got it all? - No, Kuzmich, a lot is left.

I'll help you.

Wait! Where are you going?

Dina, what are you doing?

I love you.

Let's talk. What are you doing?

Thank you.

The first breath and the first snow,

The smell of the grass and the sun of winter,

Rem!

The music of words and my love -

I'm dedicating it all to my memory...

- Are you asleep? - As you can see, I'm not.

And you're drunk again.

I've lost the role.

They said they can't shoot me because I drink too much.

You do drink too much.

If it goes on like this, you'll be able to perform only in dive bars.

There you have it, useless me.

I pity you.

Pity.

Pity?

You pity me, huh?

You should've had your own children

to bring them up.

I should've.

But God didn't give them to me.

Everything mixed back then -

envy, jealousy, fear.

Our parents loved Volodya, your father,

more than me.

They left this house to him.

He fathered a beautiful girl; it was you.

I couldn't have children.

And it was a spot of luck.

I got everything at once,

both the house and you.

You were my prize

but became my punishment.

Nothing comes free in this life.

Especially my parents' death!

Don't blame me.

I've judged and condemned myself already,

but didn't manage to do it.

Stepan was holding my hands screaming, 'Suicide is a mortal sin'.

But a necessary kill is a good thing.

God won't judge harshly.

Help me, girl.

Don't you see I'm suffering?

Help you?

Help you, Aunty?

I will. I'm obedient.

I'm obedient. I do everything I'm told to.

What? Punishment? There's your punishment. Are you okay?

Is that right? No?

Are you comfortable? Am I doing it right?

Am I doing it right?

Thank you.

- It was nice to meet you. - So do I.

It's great that we did it.

I'll go now.

Where to?

Tolyatti.

They're building a new car factory there. I want a fresh start.

I see.

What about you?

I'll look for a new job.

- I can't get back to my old one. - That's true.

Can I give you a lift?

Where to? Tolyatti?

Why not.

Get in. We'll sort it out.

Yes.

Who?

Uncle Valera!

- A phone call for you! - I'm coming!

Valery Zubov speaking.

Yes, Stepan Arkadievich.

When did it happen?

Thank you for telling me.

What happened?

Vera Ivanovna

has died.

Don't pout.

The hinges are rusty and need to be replaced.

Unload.

Come on, help your mother.

Hey, what is that?

What do you think you're doing?

Stepan Arkadievich, please,

don't worry.

- Read this. - What is it?

The will. Vera Ivanovna...

I don't have my glasses. What is in it?

In short, according to her will,

all of that goes to me.

I mean, to us. Come on, boy; help.

Excuse me, I don't understand. Repeat it, please.

The house is mine now.

Yes, I recognize her handwriting.

Verka the Bolshevik...

well, it's her will.

What about Marianna? It was her parents' house.

Yes, it was.

Now, as you understand,

she has nothing to do with it according to the papers.

What about me?

Can I stay?

We won't get along.

Galya, dear...

Yes, of course.

When do you want me to move out?

- Stepan Arkadievich... - Don't do that.

Whenever you want.

But the sooner the better.

Much obliged.

Kindly do not trouble yourself.

- Veni, vidi, vici. - What?

I came; I saw...

I conquered.

Don't pout.

There, carry it yourself.

Don't break it!

You are my hero, I am your hero

Stop persuading us That people are unable to fly!
