Vladimir Konkin as Sharapov

Where is your Chinese
by the name of Lea?

You seemed to be in love
with a handsome Portuguese man.

Or did you go with a Malayan to sea?

Vladimir Visotskiy as Zheglov

Let's write it down. You are no thief.
You k*lled the woman.

- You prepared in advance.
- What are you talking about?

You, settle down!

MEETING PLACE
SHOULD NOT BE CHANGED

A woman was m*rder*d. And
the criminal is still free.

- And he has to be in jail.
- But Gruzdev is innocent!

He'll stay in jail! I say so.

Screenplay by Vayner brothers

- We should arrest Fox in the cloakroom.
- Right.

He is armed and can easily
sh**t several people.

- Right?
- Right.

Come on!

Directed by Stanislav Govorukhin

- Where shall I go? To the Butyrka
prison or... - Ivan Sergeyevich.

My dear...

We found the true m*rder*r.
He's Fox. You are innocent.

Hello, old woman. Call Anya, please.

I got it. Listen to me attentively.

Part 5

Hello.

Did you want to see me?

- I don't know. Maybe. In case
you're Anya. - I am Anya.

And who the hell are you?

- Did the old hag tell you I called?
- She did. So what?

The point is they seized your Fox
in a deadly grip.

- Did the cops ask you to tell me about it?
- I spent 3 days with Fox on a plank bed.

He asked me for help. And I am
sitting here with you, stupid!

- Damn you...
- You know, stop cursing!

Tell me what you know. I've got
no time to spend with you either.

He sent a note with me.

He wrote that he told you
something important.

- Will you tell me?
- I shall...

Then do it!

Can you read? Did you understand
everything he wrote?

- I did!
- It doesn't seem so.

He wrote: "Give him clothes, shoes
and food. And be kind to him".

- Kind. Got it?
- We've got no time for it now.

- I'll be kind to you in the evening.
- I don't give a damn about your kindness.

Fox told me that I would get 5000 rubles
if I told you what happened.

That's the kindness I need. Anyone
could be kind to me, if I've got 5000.

OK, you'll get your 5000! Tell me
everything and you'll get the money!

You are so sly. Women are filthy.

Your man rests on the plank bed,
and you don't want to give me 5 grand.

- You are k*lling him.
- Damn you! A new Jesus!

I don't have enough money right now.
I can bring it to you!

Then do it. I'll be here in 2 hours.

Listen, I live far from here.

Let's meet at half past 8
in Sokolniki.

Do you know a bakery on the corner?

- Deal?
- OK, damn you!

But, bear in mind: No tricks.
I'll count the money.

I'm no fool.

- See you!
- Well, see you.

They follow him. Take it away.

- Well done, Sharapov! He got her!
- What?

She is a dummy.
He got her.

Fox's girlfriend can not look
that miserable. Never.

Attention!

Petka, come here.

- Kids. Have you got a ticket?
- Yes.

Give it to me. How much? Come on.

Take it. OK. 4. All right.

Come on, sucker. That's enough.

Speaking.

My dearest, it's me.

- What do you want?
- All right.

- What are you doing?
- I want to have a smoke.

- Don't even think about it.
- Come on.

Get out of here, moose.

Lyola! Lyola, it's me Vova.

Sharapov, I'm listening to you.
You may speak.

- They follow you. He is not far away, is
he? - That's the thing I am telling you.

I think we'll meet on the 20-th
or the 21-st?

Wait! They set the time of the meeting.
Between 20 and 21? At 20:30?

You are a smart girl.
That's why I appreciate you.

OK, don't get too playful.
Tell me the place.

How can you find my place? Take
the train to the last station!

- Wait, is it a suburban train?
Or metro? - Yes.

- The last station? Culture Park?
- No.

- Sokolniki. - Yes, and the second
alley to the right.

OK. Yes, life is no so sweet here.

But you know it. Though a bakery
is right at my house.

Yes. Well...

Lyola, see you. I'm going to the
cinema. Yes, to the cinema.

I've got lots of free time now.
Well, bye.

Best regards to your dad!

Well, take care!

I asked your for a date.
I dreamt of it as usual.

You smiled, a little shy
and told me, yes.

I got shaved in the morning.
I bought a new blue spotted tie.

I bought 3 asters.
At 4 sharp I was there.

- I was walking!
- So was I!

- I was waiting!
- So was I!

- I was angry!
- So was I!

- I left!
- So did I!

Both of us were there.

- I was at the chemist's. - And
I was looking for you in the cinema.

Then we'll meet tomorrow.
The same place, the same time.

Both of us were there.

- I was at the chemist's. - And
I was looking for you in the cinema.

Then we'll meet tomorrow.
The same place, the same time.

Fuhrer ordered general mobilization
to the German army.

All the men from 15 to


Don't be so sad, girls.

Have you got a right forefinger?

I am left-handed.

The next one.

- Stop smoking. You are in the cinema.
- Come on.

You are so smart, so resourceful.

And you can't invent an execution
to pay them back in full?

- Invent something, Schweik!
- I shall invent something. I promise.

- Watch out, Schweik!
- Watch out!

We got you, my dear.

Drop the stick.

Did Yevgeniy Petrovich send you?

- Well?
- Hello.

- What's up with you?
- Nothing.

Yevgeniy Petrovich wanted you
to hide away his ring.

- Cops are looking for it in relation with
a m*rder. - Is it the reason he sent you?

No, he wanted me to tell you
the way to save him.

And you took me for a fool.

You played a show.

You sent some stupid girl.

Do you think Fox didn't tell me
what you look like?

He asked me to give you this.

It's sort of password,
as if we are spies.

And why did he send you
to the old hag and not to me?

Because it was not Gorky park
where we parted.

He was also afraid.

What if cops press on me
or I'll report on you?

- What if I lead them to your warm bed?
- OK. What did he tell you?

Instructions. This is the word
he used: Instructions.

He told me: "If you tell them my
message, they'll give you 5 grand".

It's too much for such a work.

While he's in jail,
he doesn't think so.

Because his life is at stake.
He can get a capital punishment.

OK! I'm listening to you.

First, give me the money. As they say: We
are friends, but I've got my own baccy...

- Stop it. Here are 5000.
- Look here.

I hope for your conscience.

I don't want to risk my freedom...

...for nothing!
- You'd better tell me the truth.

Why should I lie? I'll
tell you everything.

They busted him for
a m*rder of some woman.

And now they want to charge him
with the robbery of a food store.

It looks bad. They found
his fingerprints on the door.

Now they keep him at Petrovka street.

But next week they'll bring him
to the "Sailor's Silence" prison.

- It's impossible to escape from it. - Is
it possible to break away from Petrovka?

No, it is not.

They'll take him to the store
to reconstruct the robbery.

He can't escape from the prison guards.
They are real armed dogs.

But if they bring him there from
Petrovka, investigators will guard him.

They are good detectives
but they are no real guards.

You could do away with
them all at once.

- How?
- How? How?

Are you a little girl? Why ask such
questions? Bang-bang, and that's it!

What is a reconstruction
of the robbery?

Suppose he admits the m*rder
of the guard.

He'll tell them he wants to show
how he did it at the place.

Now he denies everything.

Of course, they'll bring him
there to find evidence.

What else did Yevgeniy
Petrovich tell you?

He told me details.
How to arrange it.

And he asked to tell this Hunchback
of yours. If you fail to save Fox...

...from the Criminal Police, he'll
give up him and all his people.

OK.

Now you will go with me and
tell us all the details.

No. We did not agree on this. I promised
Fox to find you and to tell you...

...everything. But I don't want to go
with you and take part in it...

We don't care what you want, rubbish.
Get in the car!

What's up? Guys, what are you doing?
What are you doing, guys?

What's up, people?

Did anyone follow him?

Better safe than sorry.

Come on!

We have to do something, Gleb!

They are going away!
They are going away!

Gleb Yegorovich,
we'll never get them.

Gleb Yegorovich, there's a phone here.
Shall I inform police stations?

Do it, Vanya.

What's up with you, Gleb?
We have to do something.

They will k*ll him!

Get in the car! Come on!

Find out the location
and give me the info...

...on a bread van.
The license number is: MM.

- 8-1-11.
- 8-1-11. I am waiting for it!

Though the license number is,
of course, fake.

Get me Pankov.

- Shall I blindfold him? - No need
to do this. He'll never tell anyone.

- Come on! Go!
- Hey, hey, stop pushing me.

Come on!

Go!

The dog was barking
when I was passing.

You are smiling like a close-stool.
You are so stupid!

If I were an informer, you would have stayed
at the plank bed for half a day already.

I noticed you in the cinema
wandering around me.

Stop yelling! I'll bite your
nose off, you dirty rat!

Don't spit, I can't wipe it
off my face.

Sit down, Blotter!
Stop flying around!

Cormorant.

Well, hello, dear man.

Come in, be our guest.

Guests come voluntarily
but not by force.

It depends on whom you visit.

For example, if I call a man,
he crawls on all fours here.

Sit down!

Let's have a drink, a snack and
a chat about our sad business.

Will you drink?

If you fill up my glass,
I'll drink it.

Klasha!

Well what shall we drink for?

Whatever you want!

It's stupid to drink for your health.

You won't need good health anymore.

Why is that?

We think that you are
an informer, dear man.

You, cardboard dummy.

You wanted to cheat on me.

Then let's drink to your health. You are
going to live for 2 centuries, aren't you?

- Are you threatening me?
- How can I threaten you?

You've got your people
with g*ns and knives.

They'll cut me in pieces on the spot.

And where are your friends
from the Criminal Police?

Look, old man, this
very time yesterday...

...your friend Fox told me
some great words:

...stupidity is the most
expensive thing in the world.

Because it costs you so much.

- What do you mean?
- I mean that I'll have to pay...

...the highest price for my stupidity.
For my stupidity and greed.

I wanted to get some easy money.

Now I feel you'll stuff me with it.

Right you are. Drive your grief
and sorrow away.

Don't be afraid.
It won't hurt when we cut you.

Poof and you're dead!

Did you have to bring me
here to do it?

- Are you in a hurry?
- No, I can wait for another 50 years.

But we can't.

That's why we brought you here.

If you don't want your death
to be terrible,

...you'll tell us what you
decided to do with Fox...

...in the Criminal Police.

I'll leave you an address.

Send a postcard from me.

Some time later.

Write a couple of words.

"Don't wait for your son. He's dead".
I didn't do you any harm, did I?

Do you live in Moscow?

No. In the Yaroslavl region.

The Bugry village,
"Znamenskiy" state farm.

- Do you live in a village?
- Do I look like it?

Cops made me move 100 km from Moscow.
I am a driver there.

- Have you got some papers?
- Just this one.

Sidorenko Vladimir lvanovich.

A written undertaking
to stay at his place.

Some office at Petrovka street
must print these papers.

I take care of what I've got.
Especially since I've got nothing else.

- And why did they bring you to Fox?
- They brought him to me.



- Why did they bust you?
- I spent a week there all for nothing.

I brought potatoes to the "Stankolit"
factory. My farm has got an agreement on it.

I unloaded the truck and went back.
At Sushevskiy val some ZIS-101...

...crashed into me though
he had a red light. Bang!

My truck is all right.
It got a little scratched.

But all the people in the ZIS car
were squashed.

Well, guys from the traffic police
and even some colonel came there.

Everyone was yelling.
They pushed me in their car.

And I didn't eat all day long.

So they drew up a report,
filled in my personal forms.

And when they learnt that I had
a conviction, they got furious.

"And did you intend to commit an act
of terrorism, by any chance?"

So they kept me in the cell.
For a whole week.

And 3 days ago they told me that
the driver of the ZIS was drunk.

As if they learnt it the day before
yesterday, and not on the day of the crash.

But Yevgeniy Petrovich told me
at once: They've got nothing on you.

They'll set you free.
Otherwise they would torment you...

...with confrontations.

- And why did Fox believe you?
- I don't know why.

Maybe he liked me...

But I think he just had to.

He likes to take risks.

He told me: "Life without risk...

...is like food without salt for me."

He took enough risks. And
I warned him! I warned him!

Pubs and women will get you in jail.

- Don't say so.
- Silence!

- Well, go on.
- Karp!

- Well then...
- What?

Look at his hands.

He is no better driver than Blotter
is a violin player.

What would you say?

You can't cheat on a woman!
She feels it with her heart.

I say, your hostess is right.

I played the piano in a restaurant
before the w*r started.

- And where did you learn to drive?
- It's another story.

My father had a 1932 Ford.

- That was the reason I did the time.
- Go on.

My dad was arrested in August 1941.

But he did not want
to wait for the trial.

He unwove his wool socks,
tied a slipknot and...

All our property was forfeited.

All of you should work
a lot to match my father.

It turned out that he stole goods
by railroad cars. Well, Sidorenko...

Does the name ring a bell?
He was so notorious.

He was a stationmaster at Moskva-
Tovarnaya. His mistress gave him up.

You're a smooth storyteller. Go on.

Well, and then...

Once I walked with my girl-friend
at Pyatnitzkaya street...

...and saw our "Ford".
It was re-dyed.

I knew my car perfectly well.
I could open it with a nail.

- So I said: "Well, Lyola..."
- Lyola? Which one?

- From Yelokhovskaya?
- No, from Tverskoi.

I said: "Well, Lyola, we shall go
for our last ride."

I had call-up papers to the
enlistment office in my pocket.

So I got 7 years in prison for that ride.
Some colonel from air forces got our car.

I didn't see anything inside.
But they told me there were...

...some secret papers or maps there.

- Well, go there!
- Where?

There.

- Here?
- Yes.

Prove yourself.

Come on. Play something.

I can also do it.

And what shall I play?

"Murka".

Rings and bracelets,
Hats and jackets.

Was it me who bought it all for you?

That's much better.

No, man, a full one!

What shall we drink for?

Why did you fall silent?

May I eat a little?

It hurts to see this food
after the prison grub.

Eat. The night is long.

- Are you a good driver?
- Everyone was satisfied with me.

Did Fox tell you anything
about a friend of his?

Cops shot his friend.

- Where did it happen? - I wasn't
present there. And Fox didn't tell me.

He said that they bumped into policemen
because of their own carelessness.

And his friend got a b*llet in the back of his
head. He died instantly and didn't suffer.

And what did Fox ask you to tell us?

He didn't ask to tell you anything.

He promised me money
if I find his girl friend.

And she brought me here.

What shall we do?
What did Fox tell you?

- You should save him.
- How can I save him?

Shall I take Petrovka by storm?

I don't know. I can
tell you his idea.

- What is it? - Today in the evening
he'll tell the investigator, that...

...he wants to admit the robbery of the
food store where the guard was k*lled.

Why?

Why? In accordance with the law
they must bring him there.

In order to check how
he committed the m*rder.

This is the only offence he'll admit.

So they'll surely fall for it.
Well.

They have to take pictures,
to draw up reports...

I got it. What else?

He'll be escorted by investigators
and not prison guards.

There will be 3-4 men and his
investigator. 5 men maximum.

They will surely lock the doors
of the food store.

When they do it, you'll know
they are about to bring him there.

It's sort of a signal. He told me
that he thought it all over.

He pondered upon each detail.

He should have pondered
on how to stay free. Go on.

Here is the plan.

As soon as they bring him there, cops will
lock the doors of the store from outside.

When you come there,
you'll enter the storeroom...

...through the back entrance.

When cops bring Fox to the cellar...

...and go to the storeroom,
you'll k*ll them all there!

He said that you got enough men to do it.
You should take them by surprise.

Then you go outside
through the back entrance.

You should have a car waiting nearby.
And off you go! That's it!

- This is his plan.
- It's smart.

Yes, it is. Very smart.

But they also have g*ns.

They'll k*ll half of us.

It's generous to take risks.

- One day they'll k*ll all of us.
- Curse that tongue of yours!

Did Fox tell you anything else?

No, but he wanted Anya to know...

...that he was not going
to yoke for all of you.

And he is not eager to accept
capital punishment alone.

If his best friends
don't want to save him,

...he'll be glad to give all of them up.
- What a wolf he is.

So nice of him.

What do you think, dear gentlemen?

You have to save him.

- Shut up! It's not you they'll sh**t at.
- It's not a woman business.

I am good at what I have to do.

You got the money with my help.

- And I've got my rights.
- Quiet, quiet!

I'm sorry for Fox.

He could be of great use for us.

You are so bold because you hope to stay
in the car while we fight for him.

Don't even think about it.

- You'll go with us if we dare do this.
- Aren't you afraid to lose a driver?

No, I am not.

I'll make him drive
the car if I have to.

And he'll bring you to 38,
Petrovka street.

I don't care. We may
cut cops tomorrow.

- Or we may scatter.
- Yes, you don't care.

You can hide and no one finds you.
And what about them?

What will you do without me?

Cut it off!

We have to save Fox from jail.

If we fail,

...they'll get us.

I decided to take you with us.

- Why?
- Because.

If you lead us to an ambush,

...you'll be the first we tear apart!

We shall slice you.

Then do it right here.
I won't go with you.

- Now it's warmer. - It's hot
if you like. I don't give a damn!

Why should I get their b*ll*ts?
To have your lousy 5000?

- Why did you agree if our money
is lousy? - I didn't agree on it.

I agreed to give her a note and to tell
her Fox's words. But I didn't agree...

...on getting a b*llet or a death
sentence. You'd better k*ll me now.

- I don't want to die for free.
- And what if not for free?

- It's not serious.
- It is!

Then tell me your price.
And tell me what to do.

And stop beating about the bush.

You've got the only aim right now.

That is to leave this place alive.

- You'll do your best to save your life.
- I shall not.

Cut me in pieces! Do it!

I have never danced to anyone's piping
and shall never do it.

Why are you torturing me? Why are you
tearing me apart inside? We'll cut you,

...strangle you, k*ll you! You don't believe
me, but you can't prove I told you a lie.

- It will be too late when we prove it.
- My dear citizens!

My friends and comrades, just think.
You survive by your wisdom...

...as well as your boldness.
Suppose I am their informer.

Suppose cops made me call Anya.

But do you think they will let me
go here, to your den?

They would have busted
those two and her on the spot.

And then they would have made her
tell them everything about you.

They would have got your pictures,
names and addresses.

Some groups of soldiers with
machine g*ns would have come here...

...and made a sieve out
of each of you.

Your story is smooth.

But you miss just one thing.

What if Anya says nothing
to the Criminal Police?

What would they do then?

What if Anya says nothing to the
Criminal Police? Maybe you are right.

But I saw many th*gs in the prison.
And one of them could keep silent there.

What a disgusting pig you are!

You love money, don't you?

Is there anyone who does not?

Why do you want it?

Why? I would find
the way to spend it.

I would go to Kislovodsk
with my Lyola.

All right.

Tomorrow you'll go to save Fox with us.
If we learn that you are not a cop...

...but an honest thug...

...l'll give you money!

Do I look that stupid?

My life is worth 2 kopecks
right now, and tomorrow...

...if everything comes off,
you'll value it at nothing.

- Why so? - Because you will
want to take 5000 rubles...

...that I earned and to make me
out a cop and a b*stard...

...and to clutch at my throat for it.

If it all comes off tomorrow,
you'll k*ll me for this money.

And what if cops will get more luck?
They'll k*ll me with you there.

No.

To Kislovodsk, right?

Old man! My dear!

What shall I do to make you
believe me?

Shall I cut myself or bring you
a paper from the cops...

...that I am not one of them?

He's so funny.

You know, Karp,

...you think it right.
This guy will do.

You advise your wife
to cook cabbage soup.

I haven't made up my mind yet.

And I won't tell you again.
You'll go with us.

Sit down and be quiet!

How much money will you give me
if Fox sits at this table tomorrow?

- 10 grand.
- Thank you, old man.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity.
If I'm an informer, you'll k*ll me.

And if I save all of you,
you'll give me 10 grand.

And I'll buy 20 bottles of vodka.
Thank you, old man, for your kindness.

And thanks for your generosity!

And for the kindness Fox
promised me...

Encore!

Punch him more so that he gets smart.

Well?

Do you understand the price
of your life now?

Tomorrow morning...

...send one of your people
to the savings bank.

He should deposit 40000 rubles
to my account.

Then I'll be your best friend.

- And we'll trust each other.
- Stop it!

- Why do you want a bankbook?
- It's the only hope of mine.

And the only insurance
that you won't k*ll me.

You can't withdraw money
from my account.

Blotter,

...tomorrow at 8 o'clock in the morning
you'll go to the savings bank...

...and deposit 25 grand
to his account.

May he choke with this money!

- You'll give me the bankbook.
- Me!

You'll give me the bankbook.

It will warm my heart...

...when we go down
to the cellar together.

I won't be scared of the
cops' g*ns with it.

I'll know what I take risks for.

All right...

It's time to go to bed. Too late.

We'll have to be strong tomorrow.

- We'll get up at 6. Who'll guard him?
- I shall.

- And I shall.
- Sit down!

- I can also guard him.
- I'll never let him...

- I'll guard him.
- He'll sleep in my room.

I won't miss him. Move your hooves.

- Come on.
- He'll get out of the chimney.

Hello, company commander.

Hello, Levchenko.

They'll fall asleep in an hour...

...and I'll help you out of here.
Got it?

No, I won't go, Levchenko.

- They'll tear you apart.
- Why do you care?

I don't want it to happen.

No, Levchenko!

Then I'll have to give you up.

You came for their lives...

...and for my life. You won't
agree for anything else.

- Give me up, Levchenko. Do it.
- What choice do I have?

- Go away.
- And what will happen then?

I'll do what I have to do.
And I won't take your life.

Then they'll take yours.

They may take it.
But it won't matter anymore.

- Can it really be of no importance
to you? - It can, Levchenko.

When we swam across the Vistula
river a year ago...

...and we were alone there,
it didn't matter a lot.

And Sasha Korobkov didn't care about it.
But now you are in the opposite trench.

And I am swimming again from our side.
So it's you who have to leave.

Let's go to sleep.

- We'll have to get up early tomorrow.
- What is your decision?

They'll k*ll you. Our people
will k*ll you if your resist.

And if you give up, you'll go
to prison. For a long time.

It's my fate then.

A man can die only once.

And I'll never go to prison anymore.

No.

You know, Levchenko, I think
it would be hard for me tomorrow.

But I am not sorry about it.
I'll die for a great cause.

And you? Will you die
for this bloodsucker?

Do you remember how we dreamt
of our life after the w*r...

...in a blown-up blindage near Kovel?
I wish that dirty dog...

...had been with us!

Who is he?

The Germans bombed out our
hospital train near Novgorod.

All my papers were burnt.

I recovered. And I ran away
from the hospital.

I wanted to join you. I dreamt
of some manna from heaven.

I told them everything about myself
in the training regiment.

I had 3 convictions, fought a year
in the penal battalion and was listed...

...for penalty removal. And that
filthy b*stard looked at me.

That dirty rear rat!

His fat mug was so red you could
light a cigarette from it.

There is no information about it
in your file, so, private Levchenko,

...you'll go to Penal Company 76...

...of the 307 infantry regiment.

And it hurt so much.

Is there no justice in the world?
I told him a couple of strong words.

He started yelling. Then we fought.

I was tried by a military tribunal
and got one more prison term.

In June I escaped. Now I hang
about with these nits.

And where should I go?

Look, Levchenko, I'm not a superior
officer of yours any more.

But I'm asking you to go away!

If everything is all right, I'll go
along the chain of command with you.

- I'll tell them how you fought in the w*r.
- And what about my deeds after the w*r?

Will you tell them about it?

No, it's all over with me.

And I didn't give you up...

...because we used to sleep
under the same trench-coat...

...and because you did not eat
your officer rations...

...without us and never
hid behind our backs.

That's why we'll be together
tomorrow.

And then we'll see what happens.

- Levchenko.
- Sharapov.

Sleep.

There's nothing to talk about here.

That's OK. We'll find a way out.

Sharapov is a tough guy! Stop
worrying, Kolya, sit sown!

That's all right. Yes!

We've got a meeting.

If Sharapov is alive,
he'll let us know.

- You are right. If he's alive,
he'll do it. - Stop cackling.

There should be some way out. Let's
choose direction for further work.

What did Sharapov and you know
before the operation?

- Members of the g*ng?
- No.

- Their trend?
- No.

- The place of the operation?
- The place?

The place and the time of the
operation can not be changed.

Suppose, gangsters believed Sharapov
and decided to save Fox.

What will they do?

They will take him along.

And they'll use him as a human shield.
Right?

- You are dead, Gleb Yegorovich!
- I also shot you!

I see.

And what if we turn off the light?
We'll let them in and turn off the light!

The light? Let's try it!

When I am in the centre
under this arch...

...turn off the light.
- I got it.

OK. Let's try it.

Light.

Still I can see you in the doorway.
And how will he know about it?

- He's as smart as we are.
- Still you are dead, Gleb Yegorovich.

I saw it.

- And what is behind this door?
- Nothing.

- It's a storeroom. Shall I open it?
- Please do.

- Who is fond of these pictures?
- We've got a girl who collects them.

I don't mind. Let them hang here.
No one bothers about it.

If we could only give him a g*n!

And some sign!

Get up, Sharapov, time to go!

Well, superior officer?

Shall we sprinkle
the snow with blood?

Nobody knows.

And now the latest news.

Soon a group of w*r criminals,
Hitler's accomplices...

...will appear before the court of the
nations - the international w*r tribunal.

Close associates of Hitler in the n*zi
party, leaders of the n*zi movement...

...will be brought to trial.

Will you go to sleep?

Sidorenko Vladimir lvanovich.

The deposit is 25000 rubles.

This money will be enough for
a year for Lyola and me!

You'll have to live this year first.

Well, my fine fellows, time to go.

The snow will help us. If they were
there, we'll see their tracks.

I believe we'll be lucky.

It's a good thing. We are going
to save a friend.

Let's have a seat
before a hard journey.

That's it. Wait for us
and we'll do it.

Watch out for him, Karp.

Let's go.

What are you doing, demon?

Stop yelling. He's going with us.

- To the cellar. Let him take a look.
- Blotter.

Go to the food store
and have a look around.

Put away your hooves.

Go! What's up?

Give me a matchbox!

What is going on?

Hey, where are you?

Where did you go, dog?

Where is he?

Karp, there's a door here.
He is behind it.

Vova! Vova!

Vova, open the door! Open up!

- I'll k*ll you!
- Volodya.

You, filthy dog.

Answer me. Where are you?

Where are you?

What are you doing?

Do you want to play
hide-and-seek with me?

- Volodya.
- Volodya, open the door.

Open up! You, dirty wolf!

I'll gnaw your Adam's apple out!

Press it, everybody!

Volodya, open up! Vova, Vova!

Volodya.

I'll nibble you.
Can you hear me, Volodya?

- Karp, we must go.
- I'll k*ll him first. Then we'll go.

Citizens gangsters! Attention!

You g*ng is entrapped.

Both exits are cut off.

I suggest you giving up.

Who is barking over there?

I'm not barking but talking to you,
pig! I am Captain Zheglov.

You must have heard about me.
So Captain Zheglov...

...suggests that you should surrender.
It would be better.

- And if not?
- And if not?

Your g*ng is extremely dangerous.

That's why I've got an order from
my bosses not to take you alive.

Do you like this option?

And will you give us your little cop?

If he asks for you,
we'll think about it.

You'll get a hole of a bagel
and not Sharapov.

He's far away already. He's not
within your reach anymore.

Go out one at a time.

Shameful wolves!

- I don't want it.
- OK, damn you!

- Meet us.
- Wolves.

- We surrender.
- You should go one by one,

...pause in front of the door,
throw away g*ns and knives.

We aim at the door, so no tricks!

A step to the right or to the left
is an attempt to escape.

We'll sh**t without a warning! Go!

- The first one? Right?
- Drop the g*n.

Drop it!

Get out! Get out!

Where?

On the black bench...

...in the dock...

...sat his daughter Nina
and some man.

And it happened on Tuesday.

Drop the g*n! Throw the
knives on the snow!

The next one!

The next one!

Drop your weapons.

And now the Hunchback.

I said, the Hunchback!

The Hunchback, get out.

Throw the weapons on the snow.

The next one!

Drop your weapons!

Here you are.

Glad to see you.

Don't sh**t!

Wait! Levchenko, wait!

- He'll escape.
- Wait, I'm telling you!

Don't sh**t!

- Levchenko!
- He'll escape.

Levchenko, halt!

Halt, you fool!

Halt!

- You k*lled a man.
- I k*lled a gangster.

He came with me to give up the g*ng.

Calm down, Sharapov.

Volodya, let me drive you home.

- OK.
- Good.

Bring me to the maternity hospital.

Remember it?

Will you stay there long?
Shall I wait for you?

I've got some time.

Let's go together.

- Hello. I'm from the Criminal Police.
- Hello.

- On August 18 we brought you
an infant... - Yes, I remember.

Today they took your foundling away.

- What does it mean?
- They came here and took him away.

Don't worry. They are
very good and kind people.

You know we pay special
attention to it.

- Shall I give your his new address?
- No.
