Episode 8
You know, Sash, l don't want a colorful one. Look, they are cheap looking.
Come on.
We don't need a street-pram. What we need is...
Look, here. This's a good one. lt looks like a ''Harley.''
Sash we are looking for a pram, not for a motorcycle.
Look here, let's get the blue one.
l like the dark blue one. Do you like the sky-blue one?
lt's not sky-blue, it's dark-blue, look. Sash, it's a good one.
What? Stop that, l'm not goona buy it. What if the gray one, it looks Ok.
l don't want the gray one.
l don't want my son to drive around in a jalopy.
Let's buy the dark-blue one.
l think the green one is better. He will be a warrior: color khaki.
Afterwards we can get this one. Yes.
But l don't like it, Sash. lt's a street-pram. Can't you see?
lt's dark and...
green...
l don't want it to be green, Sash!
-Which one do you want? - The blue one.
This one? This one, please. Let's go.
Hello to nice people...
enjoy your food.
Every time l come over, you are having a dinner.
Yea, l like to eat. What did you bring?
Everything...
Strangers don't have anything to do on our territory.
ls it money or drugs?
Both...
Should l sell the drugs?
Sell the drugs, Volodya.
You are pretty useful, l'm happy with you.
Ok brothers. That's it.
Sash, l don't like getting involved but you are making a big mistake.
Otherwise there will be a war. The first person l would suspect is Sasha White.
Sasha, let'em think whatever they want.
There is always somebody who wants to fight. Right, Bee?
We shouldn't fight with them we should work together. We shouldn't lose the way.
Sash, we need to go together.
No, Phil, l have to fly alone. Otherwise we won't be able to negotiate with those guys.
They are absolutely unpredictable, if you go alone.
That's it. Our conversation comes to its end.
You better find out where it stems from.
Brother, we'll find'em.
Load it!
Why is he silent?
have so much money that l could hide in any country and live a long and quiet life.
Nobody would ever find me. But l am here.
l could of course send my guys over here
and they would solve the matter by shedding some blood.
But l came here and l'm alone.
This is his rosary.
l am here because Faric was a brother to me. l loved him as if he was my brother.
Farhard told me that you've got a baby son.
Yes, l have.
-What's his name? - lvan.
-When did your father die? - l can hardly remember him.
l believe you.
Let him go.
l don't know will we see each other again.
C'mon, you know that one philosopher said, ''lf the souls of people are alive,
parting equals to the denial of the separation.''
''Ladies and gentleman in 20 minutes our plane flying from Dushanbe to Moscow
will land in the airport ''Domodedovo.''
- Excuse me. Are you Ok? -Yes. l am.
- Here you are. - Thanks.
Attention, please. The flight # 632 from Dushanbe has arrived.
-What's up, White. How're you doin'? - l'm Ok.
-What's the weather like? - lt's hot. What's up.
- Brother, we've found them. -Who?
Let's go.
He's totally different Asian. He works with White, but he's not very successful.
Well, introduce our guys to him.
And why did you choose to help us?
See, l didn't know that Bek would disappear. l don't want to fight with you.
Sorry, we'll have to search you. Maybe you've got a recorder with.
And afterwards will provide this tape to somebody.
That's pretty smart.
- Treat yourself. - l don't smoke.
See, now we're friends.
Stop! Stop! Happy New Year!
Dzigi-dzigi-du, dzigi-dzigi-du, l will fly from cannon into the sky.
Open the door for Grandma... sweetness how long will the concert last?
Two hours. You can do it, pumpkin.
-Yeah? - Sure.
- Let's go my little baby. -You forgot about me.
No, we haven't.
-Are we late? - No-ah, we've got some time.
Do you think you look like a Roman emperor? Hey now, you look like the Chingachung.
- So, brother. - l am ready.
- Hey, princesses are you getting in? -Would you take us to Mayakovskaya?
- Get in, if you're not afraid. -What are you hinting at?
Get in, it's cold.
Oh, it's cold.
What d'you need?
Who is that?
Hurry up, girls! Come on, come on!
- Hey, who are you? - The doctor.
l don't get this, Bek.
Here, cover yourself.
Bravo! Bravo!
Yes! Louder, louder!
Bravo!
Listen Faric, l told you that a thousand times already and you ain't willing to understand this stuff!
Selling drugs differs from selling cigarettes; it all depends on retail trade.
l have spent so much time trying to spread our trade to the West.
Now you suggest me to forget about my plans. What the heck is wrong with you?
This's just the beginning. l've got much more information about this person.
l have a question. Where did you get all this information?
l know him for a long time. Because of him l was fired from the Department.
That is to say, you provided us with this information because of some personal matters.
Correct?
Mainly, because l am a citizen of my country.
Would you like a cigarette?
No, thanks...
Now you are baptized, Vanya.
My dear, you are a real person, now.
Be careful, Sash.
Come on, Max take a picture of us!
Congratulations.
My darling. Take a picture!
- So. What? - Nothing really. My congrats.
- Congrats. Look, l'm sorry for Tanya. - That's Ok. Sorry that l broke your nose.
The priest spoke about really substantial stuff.
Exactly. He was very specific. Yeah.
- My congrats, bro. - Thanks. Though it's pretty cold.
Max, go!
Stand closer to each other.
- Sash. - Cos!
Just to remind you. All of you are invited to our place Friday!
- From the right to the left, dummy. -Who told you that?
- Unroll Vanya. - No. He'll be cold.
- Hey guys can l hold my godson? - Darn it, everything is frozen.
The smiles are frozen, too.
Ok.
Congratulations to everybody!
Come here, Bee. How do you fell, Cos?
- lt's amazing. l feel like a newborn. - Congrats, bro.
- Thanks godfather. - So, now l am a father, right?
No, you're his godfather, because l am his father.
- Phil! Sash! -After getting baptized he even stopped crying.
- Pchelkin. - Ok.
- Congratulations! - The same to you.
- Sanya, who is this? -Just a person like you and me.
- He's from the Ministry of kid affairs. - l've never heard of such Ministry.
That means you are a lucky guy, Pchelkin. Don't smoke, we are in a cathedral.
By the way. This character was fired from MVD because he exceeded his authority.
He has great strategic talents, is able to react immediately.
Has personal hostility towards Belov.
While staying under cover he initiated conflict between Belov and Bek.
This conflict caused the elimination of Bek.
Afterwards he became the head of Bek's gang and provided some secret information about Belov.
The only error he made is that he didn't think Belov is under our sphere of influence.
After all he's not the James Bond.
Although this guy is a real bitch,
l believe we should use the information provided by him as a counterbalance to Belov's brigade.
- Svet! -What, my dear?
- Svetik, Svetik. -Yes.
Your husband is a genius.
Sash, Sasha, they are here!
Ok, Ok. Congratulations. Best regards to Caban. You are so beautiful today.
My little pretty girl. Go and meet the guests.
Come on, girls hurry up, otherwise we will be late... Let's go, let's go.
Feel it Vitya, it's a natural fir-tree.
Yea. lt's really natural.
Yes.
ax, brother, l'll give you some directions: everything is all Ok, so just chill.
Phil.
l have got this kind of a thing, too. Wait, wait.
Don't believe him, he will trick you.
Hey you, get lost. Look, this is a fresh one it can be taken of.
Could you please get me a natural fir-tree? Please.
So, should we start the party?
Olya and where is Sasha? ls he ill?
Sasha, Sash!
Olya don't worry l'll call him right now.
Hello, what's up. Yes thanks.
Sasha, you're like Lord Byron. The table is set everybody is waiting foryou.
l'm coming.
You're my baby, chi-chi-chi, my dear son
my flesh and blood, here is the man, my dear, my nice baby.
He is here!
Here am l! What's up, brother! You, little! Hi! Go, open the door!
Hello!
And where is mom
She's in Ataliya. l thought she should have some rest.
Dear brothers and sisters l'm sorry that l've kept you waiting.
l would like to propose a toast, Katya and Cos will be now,
to the year of 1993.
Which wasn't a piece of cake and was rather challenging,
nevertheless we are alive and this is the most important thing in our job, yes.
Come on! Gays drink while seated!
Aunt, l adore you! l love you!
By the porch on the square.
l was digging into snow with a spade.
- l don't remember - Something about snow.
- Like, there wasn't enough of snow. - l made a Snow Maiden.
-And l took it home. -And it melted. Happy New Year!
l love you!
l'm stressed gimme some vodka. Try to play with the Snow Maiden on your own!
It's almost 12 turn the TV on.
Turn it off, hell with the TV.
-What about the Presidents' speech? - Oh, c'mon.
- Yea. Why not. - C'mon, c'mon.
- No-ah, no. - Seriously, let's watch it.
Dear friends. ln a couple of minutes it will be midnight...
l'm not ready. Turn it down.
Dear brotherhood, my congratulations on the New Year.
The year of Dog. l hope that none of us becomes a bitch, you know.
Let us understand each other better this year,
let the glade be set and our spades be full of green color.
Happy New Year!
What's that?
Dear Olyenka! Our son, unlike me, will be a real person! l love you A. Belov.
l love you, too. Stop blaming yourself. As you always say, we will be OK.
Understand?
The Fall of 1994.
Yea, you are too good Viktor Petrovich. What can l say?
Game, set, the play. You are doing well.
lt's just that you fuss risk too much. Why did you play on a line?
lt's just my habit, Viktor Petrovich.
But if l play with more l will learn the right way.
Oops, time has come to make serious conclusions.
Otherwise l will raise a competitor.
You're overestimating me.
Does he play really well, Viktor Petrovich?
lf you play with him he would win. When we play, l always lose.
He always wins. Even Torpichev loses to him.
He has mighty hands.
lnexhaustible tennis games.
l play tennis for 70 years and l still don't play perfectly.
- How old are you Viktor Petrovich? - l'm 84.
Oh, come on.
Oh, with a half. How long do you play tennis?
About two or three years. Something like that.
- Our youth is very promising. -Yes.
Well, show me what have you got? l noticed you so excited...
The Fund of Restoration. So what would you like to restore?
Churches, architectural memorials, the Kremlin if you'd like.
You're young...Ok. l will ask him to sign this tomorrow.
-Well, for the game. - For the signature, better.
- The esaul was shrewd! - C'mon Sanya, stop it. There is a gun there.
What's that? Gypsum, or something?
No, it's not. lt's armour plating. Max got from warriors.
Look, it's really light and comfortable.
We are absolutely legal now! So get yourself a Versace and be happy!
Why are so glad today?
The life is getting better. We are getting stronger.
So what?
-We have one more big white plan. - l don't understand.
Soon we'll get some privileges over the import of alcoholic drinks and tobacco.
Really? That's cool.
- He said he won't be lost. - Sash, are you sure?
l am positive.
Oh, our wild-wild heads!
Oh, stop. They will not take it!
Miss, do you have champagne '' Vdova Kluko''?
- No. -Well, give me vodka, please.
Hello to nice people.
You always can say that he's an old personnel.
Cos, this is the person l told you about, his name's Luka.
l know.
- Ruslan. - Take a sit, friend.
C'mon, over here.
Hello, Cosmos. l've heard a lot of good things about you.
Don't trust that information. What's really true is that l'm such a scum, you know.
So, how is it going?
-What a weird thing. - lt's a Greek name.
My ancestor was Kazakh Bykonur by name. He was murdered in 1975.
Yeah.
- l have got everything in the future. - That's for sure.
- Do you what is this? - Of course l do.
lt's a flycatcher.
Understand...are you getting the idea?
What's new?
Well, those guys are offering to deliver arms to Chechnya.
That's it for me, Valera.
Small arms for the beginning. We'll share income 50-50.
ln Chechnya, in Grozni weapons are much more expensive.
Their market is highly comprehensive. Understand, Sanya?
There are millions of dollars spinning in Chechnya everyday.
Why do they need our help?
Sanya, are you dummy or what?
They need our help because they realize that we've got all the links in our hands.
We can transport weapons without having any problems
because we have friends in Customs Office.
-What d'you think of that? - Let them go to hell, Cos.
l have too much stuff going on anyway. My head is busy enough without Chechnya.
l think it's a good thing to do, Sash.
Stop, Cos, stop that. l'm like trying to legalize our business
and stuff and you want me to make a step back.
l'm not gonna deal with arms. l'm a pacifist.
Chill out. Luka suggested to coronate you.
Hell, they fucken made me happy. See, Cos those guys are pretty smart.
Today they support you, tomorrow they get rid of you.
lt's not as easy as it seems, Cos.
After your speech l realized that once
l'll accept this suggestion and do this business on my own.
- Ok. -Yes. l will.
The only thing is that sometimes you run the game but sometimes the runs you.
Oh, who's that?
Come on Max, undress. Give me the hat.
Come to me my little sleepy boy.
Come in, Max.
- l'll better wait in the car. - Come in.
Don't be shy, come in. My chicks, my dear, my golden boy.
Here is my sunny. Did you have a nice ride? My little baby.
Hello.
Yes. Here are my curls. Please, sit down. l'll take it of. Ok. Ok.
Tatiana Nikolaevna is there anything burning in the kitchen?
Oh, Oh. Just a minute. Golden little boy, just a minute.
Your grandma will take care of pies.
l'll butt you, l'll butt you.
-We haven't seen each other for ages. -Yes.
So what's going on in the White House, l mean jangles?
You need to accept Luka's suggestion.
Hey, it seems like you are everywhere. l heard about it just in the morning.
lt's just a regular executive measure.
Just to make it clear, you strongly need to accept this suggestion.
lgor Leonidovich, l did not owe anything to anybody.
lt's stupid and naive to think that way.
-Would you like some ice cream? - No.
When l was a child my mom couldn't afford to buy ice cream for me.
- l'll cry, now. - Don't do that. Maybe somebody will notice.
-You think so? - Of course, we are being followed.
-Where? -A squirrel.
-With you? - On the tree.
Those are ours.
Heck, you guys are everywhere. What should a poor guy like me do?
l'm afraid, you are underestimating the situation.
This is a big politics. Soon, something will happen in Chechnya.
The office will support the enemies of Jhahar.
By refusing to cooperate you oppose yourself to the interests of government.
Do you realize the consequences?
l hope you realize that l'm not against the collaboration itself.
However, l believe that my business is mature enough to have its own parity.
But l'm not interested in a given suggestion. So let's stop the argument because l'm late.
Sash, and where is Langel or Maccenroy?
Remember that politicians are like tennis players they come and go.
What if you lose your partner? What are you gonna do?
l'll find another one it's not a problem. A lot of people play tennis nowdays.
- Dear lgor Leonidovich, good luck. - The same to you.
Yes...l got it, l'm coming... Olya, Sasha asked to meet him.
Ok. What is the stuffing?
Your favorite carrot stuffing.
- lt's with carrots, would you like some? - No, we'll wait for daddy. Right, Vanya?
-We'll take some berries. -Yes, please. lt's good for appetite.
Oh, those are sour, sour, Vanya.
Tatiana Nikolaevna l'm tired of asking him to slow down with the business,
maybe you'll ask him, as a mother.
He can't live like that all the time. Now that he has a son.
- Of course, just don't overdo it. -Well, you know better.
Certainly, it's a matter of time.
Oh, Vanya daddy came.
You, smart baby go and welcome your dad.
- Hello. -What's up.
- How are you? -Just fine, l guess.
Tatiana Nikolaevna, just look at Sasha, his new image is very becoming to him, isn't it?
Seems like life is getting better. Are you OK?
l'm fine, thanks.
-What's up, bro. - OK. Does it fit well?
Yea. lt actually does. White, maybe we should take it, after all.
Oh, come on. We are getting legal, buddy.
Tell him that his tie should be a bit more colorful.
Yea. Sure, he'll say, ''Am l a clown or what?''
Max, turn this of! Are we clowns or what?
Too bad, it's a good music.
- Max, did you hear what the boss said? - Not a problem.
Sasha! Phil!
White, watch your head! Fuck!
Are you alive?
Are you Ok?
Get the hell, get lost. Bastard!
Thank you brother. Max, stay close!
Versachok is shitty. A bulletproof vest is much better.
Olya get ready, now! Everything is Ok, mom.
Sasha!
Ok. As fast as you can, Olya. Everything is Ok.
- Son, what was it? - Everything is Ok.
-What is going on? -Just some problems at work. Stay calm.
Stay here, son, don't go.
lt's harmful for you to be nervous, mom. We have to go. Don't worry.
- lt's bad for your health. - Son, don't leave. Stay home.
- Ok, quiet. Did you fid Vanya? -Yes. We have.
Phila, don't call anybody!
- Oh, Sasha, don't go. Stay here. - Sasha we are ready.
Everything will be Ok.
- Stay here, they will kill you, don't leave. - Could you give us some pies?
- Mom, l'll send Katia. - Good bye, Tatiana Nukolaevna.
- Good bye, sweety. - Ok, Ok, open up.
Be careful, take care son, son, son. Oh, God.
Yes, yea. He's not here. How do l know? Am l Pushkin or what?
l don't know. Say, he's gone to Bahamas. We are having a broke.
lf he doesn't get it, make him understand. l would have some vodka.
Want some cocoa?
Are you reading my mind?
- Something else? - No, thanks.
- Lyd, are you deaf? - l'm sorry Cosmos Juryevich?
-Why aren't you picking up the phone? - Shut up. l have a headache.
Did you say that to me?
That's Ok. You go, go. Everything is OK.
No, let her stay. You wanted her to stay. Tell me do l have to do this? Ha?
Explain me, do l have to make calls and stuff?
What am l supposed to do? What should l do, ha?
People are getting nervous the contacts are burning.
Yes. No.
And my nerves are as strong as steel cables, you know.
Let me, you moron.
Give it to me.
What did White say?
lt wasn't White it was Phil talking. He said.
Sasha and he will disappear for some time. They'll find us later on.
- ls that all? - He asked us to be careful.
