No sleeping at work!
Excuse me, is this flying to Samarkand?
Thank you.
Where are you going?
Sit down, please. We're preparing for takeoff.
Get off the plane.
- Miss, sit down. - Alright, alright. Go ahead.
Do you have any of those barbarishkas?
Yes. Just sit down.
Thank you so much.
I'm not letting you out of my sight.
- Buckle up. - Yeah.
Tower, this is flight 593. All systems go.
593 you are clear for takeoff from runway 3.
Conditions are fair with a headwind at 7 m/s.
Taking off.
If you open that grave, it will start a war.
You're not going anywhere.
I'll open it very carefully. Just a little nudge with my nail.
Nope, we're not going anywhere.
- What was that? - Everything looks normal.
We're flying.
Nope, isn't happening.
593, what's the matter?
I don't know. I'm following the procedure, but we're not taking off.
People!
People! Everyone wants to fly to Samarkand, right?
Yes!
They all want to fly. Do you understand?
We're off.
- Commander. We're over speed. - We're taking off!
Glory be.
593, what's your status?
I didn't call you.
Why don't we do something?
Want some?
No.
Once upon a time, one of our officers fell into grave danger.
He broke the Contract.
And when his execution seemed inevitable...
this girl came to his defence...
Hey, it's Olga.
After that, of course, he exonerated himself and Inquisition released him.
As to that girl-magician...
She hasn't changed a bit.
...when we - the Light ones - needed her so much, she was condemned.
That's a sad story, Boris Ivanovich.
I was just bait.
She, a Great one, was the real target.
There is no chalk in Tamerlan's right fist.
How do you know that? Were you there?
In 1941. Boris was in trouble and I really needed the Chalk.
So, I organized an expedition and went there with some archaeologists.
In Samarkand an old man joined us. His name was Zoar.
I warned him that if I opened the grave, it would cause a war.
But I was sure that...
when the Chalk was in my hands, I would be able to correct everything.
When we opened the grave, there was an inscription:
"I held the whole world in my fist, but I can't take it with me. "
He didn't have the chalk.
But what was Zoar doing there?
He had worked in Gorkom.
And what did he do with Tamerlan?
Well, Zoar was his right-hand man.
His RIGHT hand?
Oh, Zoar. Oh, you old dog.
Olya. Turn the plane around.
I know where the chalk is. It's Zoar who has it.
Zoar...
Give me the chalk.
Here.
No, you don't get it - I need the magic chalk.
That's the magic one.
Where can I write with it?
Here, on this board.
Does it help?
Every day.
What do you write?
Whatever you want.
Egor -
How did you... How did you get here?
I was in the neighbourhood and I decided to drop by.
In the neighbourhood? In the neighbourhood, eh?
In the neighbourhood? Egor, it works! Do you understand? It works!
What works, dad?
The chalk! The chalk works!
My dear boy! Say, why are you so cold?
Why are you so cold? You're freezing. Hold on.
Do you want something to eat? Huh? We'll make something for you.
Zoar! Come on, come on! Make something to eat! I've got a son!
Sit down, sit down, sit down. Come on. It works!
Give me your pants! We'll wash them too.
But I don't have any others.
Where are you going to go so late at night?
Come on, come on, come on, come on.
Forget it. If we are going to wash, we might as well wash everything.
Oh! Excuse me, I’m looking for your neighbour.
You're not the only one.
Thank you.
Be careful, Svetlana.
You're a vampire?
Yeah I'm a vampire! Look!
Forgive him. We didn't break any laws.
I didn't say you did.
Here are his registration papers.
I... I... I didn't say you broke the Contract.
Everything in the fridge is legal: milk, cheese, potatoes...
I'm sorry...
Dad, go away! Stop degrading yourself!
Hello?
Hello, Anton?
Who is it?
It's me, Svetlana.
Svetlana? You know he has a family, a child.
Please, don't call him anymore.
Egor, here.
It's pilaw - eat it with your hands.
So, is it tasty?
Do you want to come eat with us?
With "us"?
With me. With mom.
Egor, I can't go with you. I have another life.
Egor, you know I...
You'll come by yourself!
Zoar, why isn't the chalk working?
I wrote where you told me to...
Because I'm writing my own fate here.
150 roubles for the pilaw.
Your fate is somewhere else.
And you can't change the fate of others at all.
Every man answers only to his own destiny.
Don't you remember where you trifled with fate?
Why didn't you tell me before?
You didn't ask.
Ask, didn't ask...
I'm sorry, Anton-jan.
What happened?
He stole the chalk.
Hello.
Excuse me, may I speak with Egor?
Are you nuts?
It's 1:00 am. Egor is sleeping.
Hey, chief! Get me to VDNH!
We found him, Zavulon!
Crush him!
Idiot! I want him alive!
Just drive him around, guys!
Anton!
Is anybody here? Anton!
Zoar!
There is nobody here.
What?
This is his phone, isn't it?
But why is it broken?
So, the Dark ones are looking for the chalk too. The game is afoot.
What the hell did you do?
Which station is this?
Well, I'm off.
What the hell is wrong with you?
Freeze! Hey!
Stop!
Freeze!
Who were you talking to?
I don't really know, but he said never call to him anymore.
It's Egor.
Why did he come anyway?
He stole the chalk.
Where are you going?
Ow! I'll be right back.
- Do you remember Egor's address? - VDNH.
- Let's go. - Let's go.
Take her along.
Sveta!
She's run off.
What, you're freezing so you sit here to warm up?
Drive anywhere...
Gotcha.
Mister Zavulon, why are we Dark?
Because the darkness hides our imperfections.
And there is no human without imperfections.
It allows us to do whatever we want,
to be exactly what we are.
The darkness gives us love.
Look here, what I found, mister Zavulon.
It's the Chalk of Fate.
Hello?
- Zavulon. - I'm listening.
Do you have the chalk?
No.
You don't have the right to touch it.
And I'm not touching it.
What's that party you've got there? You didn't think to invite me?
No. But I will send you a photo.
Slow down, Semyon.
Gather all members at the Kosmos hotel.
Where are you going, Boris Ivanovich?
I need to change.
Alisa?
With the chalk you can correct your mistakes.
Well, keep it then.
But what about you?
I don't need it.
You don't make mistakes?
I do, but I don't regret them.
What should I do with it?
Give it to Alisa.
What does she regret?
Well, what can a woman regret?
Love.
Are you sure you're doing the right thing?
I don't want to be like you,
to be afraid of both your friends and your foes.
To afraid of the phone.
Who said that?
If you ask me - I fear nobody.
It's possible to remain human in our situation.
"Human", dad?
Do you mean you can make me a real boy?
No, but...
Listen to me!
Kostya! Kostya!
Son! Listen!
Alisa, are you ready?
Yes.
- We're starting. - I'm on my way.
Don't touch the ring. It hurts me.
Why did you come here?
Am I not allowed?
Come in.
Close the door.
Hi.
I came for you.
Zavulon...
I'm coming.
I'm coming!
- Good evening. - You'd better come back later.
I should go.
Kostya, wait. Wait. Listen to me, I can explain.
There's no need.
He knows everything about me.
I can't do anything. He feels me. Can you understand? No?
I can't get it off.
I'll help you.
No.
He'll kill you.
I'm not afraid.
I am.
I already told you... Can't it wait?
I told you...
Let's go, let's go...
Who is that?
Gorodetsky's neighbour. He can recognize him even in a different body.
M-m-m... Where's daddy?
Uh...
We're sorry, your call cannot be completed as dialled.
Does that hurt?
Come on, come on. Come on, come on, come on, come on.
You have no right! You're an outlaw!
You're an outlaw, have you heard?
You need to dry off.
You're an outlaw. Look, it's not personal, I'm just following orders.
I know, I know, I know.
I have orders. Gosha is good bird...
Gosha was going to the Kosmos hotel for some boy's birthday party.
What... What are you thinking?
What are you gonna do?
No. Nothing good will come of it.
Everybody knows your ugly face!
Well, of course, I don't like this way...
Could you tell me where the birthday party is?
It's on the top floor by the elevator.
Kolya. The Parrot is coming to see you.
Well, how are you?
Come on, go quickly. Don't be late.
Vityok, wait.
Give me your coat.
"Safety officer - Vityok"
Hi, Vityok.
Has it started?
Do I look like Vityok to you?
So, you're not Vityok?
Well then where is Vityok?
Egor!
Who's there?
Egor!
Happy birthday! Happy birthday!
Quiet, quiet! Let his father say a few words!
It's his birthday. Or did you forget?
Give him a drink!
Come on, say something.
He's been waiting for you. What's with you?
I know, you Light ones know how to do it! Come on!
I...
I... wish you... good health and good happiness, Egor.
That's all?
And that all will be well in your life.
And later I have a few other things to say, Egor.
Let's speak in private.
No, say it right now - "later" will be too late.
Ok.
I wish you only a one thing.
I wish you the knowledge of how to forgive. And whatever they say...
Bravo!
Forgive your dad - he's very tired.
They poisoned him.
Hey! Let me pass!
Vitya, on the left slowing down the 548. You see it?
Let me by!
That's what vinaigrette is for, sonny.
Take a bite.
What is it?
Are the ingredients important? Or the effect?
You destroyed my life, granny!
Well, you destroyed mine too.
Me?
Yes! Because of you, I've been living...
in the cell, as a frog, for the last 12 years!
So what are we going to do with you?
Is that what you came for? Have you forgotten, my dear?
The chalk?
You know, your hut was torn down!
They tore it down, but one little wall survived.
Come here. Vinaigrette. You want some vinaigrette?
Here! Nooo. Bring me the chalk and then I'll give it. Do we have a deal?
She won't eat anything if she doesn't know you.
Is she trained?
Yep.
- She doesn't eat? - She doesn't eat.
But I do!
Good boy!
Everything!
Good boy! O-o-o-o...
I'm gonna eat!
I'm gonna eat everything!
The enemies' whirlwinds are waving over us, Dark forces are violently oppressing us,
'Til the fateful battle...
He's here, somewhere. He's close, I feel it.
But we will rise up with pride and courage...
A-ya!
What's his problem, eh?
You fool!
Eh? FOOL!
Stop this, Semyon! Get a grip!
What are you doing, Semyon? Don't!
Drive faster - we're late.
Should we call the Inquisition?
No, not yet.
Not everyone is ready yet.
Big Zavulon, dear!
Let's have a drink?
Well, when you put it like that...
Bruderschaft style...
You've brought this upon yourself, Gorodetsky.
What if I'm turning you over to the Inquisition...
Me? To the Inquisition?
For what?
I didn't kill...
You know it.
Then who did it?
You know how it is in the mysteries - some gardener...
Or a butcher.
Valeriy Sergeevich, fancy meeting you here!
I just came for my son.
He came for his son, too!
They gave Kostya a license.
Congratulations!
But you know - he is not the sort.
What sort is he?
He is inoffensive. Like his mother was. She was a real human.
But I think, he takes after his father.
Stop! Dark gentlemen! Do you know who killed Galina Rogova?
She was killed by...
Was killed by...
- But why did I have to kill them? - THEM?
That's right, why?
Why did THEY have to die?
Oy! Oy, oy!
And do you want to know where he got this idea?
Dad!
By this very knife.
I wanted you to be a human so much.
Nothing in the world can excuse the breach of the Great Contract.
Do you admit your guilt?
Yes. I admit it.
Say goodbye.
It's alright.
The Inquisition hereby dismisses murder charges against Anton Gorodetsky.
You are free to go.
Thanks, it's great to be here.
Dad!
I'll explain everything...
Was it you who called them?
Me?
Zavulon! You promised!
Go away, father. You're spoiling our fun.
He didn't do it by his own will! He was coerced!
The one who coerced him...
Tango!
Quiet, quiet. Give me the chalk.
Come on.
Let me go, bastard!
"Someone is losing...
and someone is finding.
Someone is leaving...
and someone is arriving. "
She's here.
Everyone is assembled.
Stop her, mister Zavulon.
She can't be stopped.
...killed?
Melodrama is not my cup of tea, Egor.
Then I'll do it myself.
She is stronger than you. Think about it.
Don't think.
- Svetochka! - Anton!
Go home now. I'll explain everything later.
Please, go home.
No offence.
I'm just fine.
Please, go home.
You see, mister Zavulon? He doesn't love her any more. He became a Dark one.
No, my sweet Egor, he's just darkening.
And what are we gonna do?
Think, Egor, think.
Yesterday, in the Gloom, I stabbed her with a needle.
Now I can drink from her.
125th, 3 minutes out.
320th, 7 minutes out.
34th, 6 minutes out.
540th, 2 minutes out. 540th!
518th!
118th, 1 minute out.
Under no circumstances start without us! Maintain your positions!
I repeat: maintain your positions!
Are we surrounded?
She isn't answering.
Sveta! Sveta, it's me. Look at me. Don't close your eyes, you hear?
I'm losing you, Sveta. I'm losing you.
Be cool, be cool. Yes. Come on, help me. Help me and we'll get you out of there.
Man, stop this!
Come on, breathe, breathe...
Learn to drive!
Good girl, good girl!
Get up.
Get up slowly. Sveta, get up.
Come on, talk to me. Talk.
Tell me about something.
That's a good girl. Breathe, breathe, breathe. Yeah.
You're on your feet. Good girl.
Beautiful, Sveta! You're beautiful!
Come on, come on, come on! Get up, get up!
- Sveta! - Yes!
Hello?
Hello, Olya?
Yes, we're on the way. Wait for us.
I found Anton.
He is drunk and now he doesn't want to go anywhere.
Go practice.
They poisoned him?
We'll need to get you out of here, it's a trap, provocation!
Don't try taking on Egor! Do you hear me?
I hear.
Do you hear me?
Yes, I hear you.
Who do you want?
I need Anton Gorodetskiy.
I need him too.
No, I just need to talk to him.
Nooo, you’re lying. You came to take him away from me, right?
No.
He loves you.
He loves you too.
And now ladies and gentlemen! It's time for the main event of our party!
We have been waiting, as the saying goes, for a thousand years!
And now we've got a new Great one!
I'm not going to fight you.
You have no other choice.
Buckle up.
We'll start a battle and WE will win this time!
That's the big one.
But if even one drop of any Dark one's blood is spilled, the Contract is broken.
And then we will start a battle! And we will win!
That's it, we're here.
We are always hiding. Isn't it enough?
Who are the real criminals? Us or them?
So, what's the problem with us, guys? We know every one of them by sight!
His big, ugly, Dark face!
Ordinary people believe in us! Who else can protect them if not us?
Nobody else has the power to do anything about it!
Because Fate is in OUR hands right now!
Everyone freeze! This is provocation!
Darkness will fall, and nothing will be able to escape it...
What if they really do fight over there?
Fine, I'm leaving.
Try it.
Blood! Blood!
What's with you?
Blood! Blood! Blood!
It's done.
What's "done"?
It has begun.
I didn't want to.
Shall we move?
What about Gesser?
CHARGE!
Hurray!
Everybody, evacuate the floor, don't panic!
This is an emergency evacuation! There is a fire on the floor!
Get out! Everybody! Fire! Leave the building!
Hey, what's happened?
Fire! Fire! Go out! Come on! Come on, you've gotta get out!
Get out! Fire!
Miss, what happened? Miss! What happened, young man?
Anton. Anton, where are you? Anton!
Anton!
It's a stampede. Everyone is panicking. People are trying to escape.
They're coming back!
Fire on the floor. Stay calm.
Miss... What... Young man... What's happened?
Yes. Yes, yes. I'm coming, I'm coming.
Are you photographing it?
It's pitch black.
It's the end of the world.
Maybe they'll get another chance?
Stepan!
Find Alisa and get the chalk from her.
Where is Alisa?
Alisa? Over there...
Alisa!
Alisa! Wait!
I'm not a boy running from you, you know? What are you doing anyway?
Freeze! Freeze!
Run. I said, run!
Freeze!
Quiet...
Stay! Stay! Stay where you are!
Settle down, quiet, quiet, quiet.
Well, can you lead me to Alisa?
Come on, come on. Lead me to her.
Kostya.
Kostya, I didn't want that. Kostya...
I ruined everything...
"KOSTYA IS ALIVE"
Give it to me. Give it.
Give it to me. Give.
Nooo. No. You scum! Get off me!
You can't bring him back.
I'll fix everything up!
You'll fix nothing. Give me the chalk.
Why?
Because it's not your fault at all! Give me the chalk!
Then, whose fault is it?
What difference does it make? It doesn't matter!
It's all my fault.
Anton... Anton...
I'm here...
Wait for me. I'll be back, be back. I'll be back.
Anton, I can't see.
Let him go! Let him go! I won't let you take him!
Do you hear me? I won't let you take him!
Don't leave me, Anton!
Hold on! Hold on!
The glass!
Where are you taking him?
The glass!
The glass is falling!
What have you done, Anton?
I found the Chalk, Boris Ivanovich.
That house was demolished.
It was, but... But one little wall survived.
Anton, run. Run now. Quickly.
This camera has a short exposure.
Thank you, Boris Ivanovich.
"NO"
Moscow, 1992
Well? You agree?
Well...
No. I'll try to deal with it on my own.
The human way.
"No". It isn't much good.
Forgive me, please.
Can I bum a cigarette?
You don't have any?
I don't smoke.
He doesn't remember.
Now what?
That's all. He became human.
He doesn't remember.
Yes he does!
Don't tell him!
Don't interfere!
There is no fate!
Miss!
It's FATE!
Excuse me, please. Have we met before?
Maybe.
Really?
A Timur BEKMAMBETOV film
DAY WATCH THE CHALK OF FATE
My word.
We are surrounded?
Look at them! Freakin Dandies!
It's a really good thing.
Eh!
