He says, "Christmas." So I say to him...
Should we go shopping?
The kid's 16.
He says, "But, Uncle, it's Christmas."
How much you taking off?
Uncle Azim...
This is him. The kid I am talking about.
He looks okay to me.
Ekrem, how you doing?
He looks okay, yeah,
but he won't do one lousy thing for me.
Here. Look, Ekrem.
Take this.
Azim, please.
You see? We had a deal. Now he's backing out.
Azim, leave the kid alone.
It's obviously some psychological thing.
Take the fucking ustura and finish this Rus!
Please, I need help.
Do you need methadone?
For methadone, I need to see prescription.
Was she hemorrhaging when you found her?
Yes.
Did you get a name? No.
You're all right, sweetheart. Stay with us, all right?
Baby's in distress. Her stats are very poor.
Fetal heart rate's at 60, 58, 57 and free falling.
Speak to me.
Placental abruption. We need to get the baby out now.
I'm afraid we've lost the mother. Okay, enough.
Call it.
Unidentified woman died December the 20th, 23:13.
Baby girl born 20th of December, 23:14.
Did you sleep?
A bit.
Mum...
Mmm-hmm?
Are you okay?
Of course not. It's Christmas.
Anna, where did you get this?
It's your own fault for giving him something to play with.
Well, I can't read Russian, can I?
I told you, Uncle Stepan.
I found it in the handbag of the girl who died in my ward.
Do you always rob the bodies of the dead?
Yes, actually. We all do it.
It's one of the perks of working at the hospital.
Did you know that your daughter robs the bodies of the dead?
I'm looking for an address.
You have an uncle, Anna, who doesn't steal the things from the dead.
Not even their secrets.
Oh, don't go all momentous on us, Stepan. Lift your elbows.
You should put this into her coffin.
Bury her secrets with her bodies.
Body.
Singular.
My name is Tatiana.
My father died in the mines in my village,
so he was already buried when he died.
We were all buried there.
Buried under the soil of Russia.
That is why I left, to find a better life.
So...
You go pick up Azim and you bring him back here
with his bitch of a wife.
Da, da. Okay.
Then I'll think of an excuse and we can get away.
Who the fuck's that?
Maybe somebody sent your dad a hooker for Christmas.
Man, you're so fucking unbelievably disrespectful.
Hey, you got work to do.
Move!
See you.
Oh, no. We are closed. Yes, I know.
I'm a midwife.
Then unless one of my daughters is keeping something from me,
you have the wrong address.
I was hoping to speak to the manager.
Khitrova?
My dad was Russian.
What was your father's first name? Ivan.
Ivan? So you are Anna Ivanovna.
Now come.
Hurry, hurry, hurry!
I must stir, I must stir, or the borscht dies in my hands.
Today, it is family. Here is my son, Kirill.
Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry!
Come, come, come on. Hurry! Hurry!
More glasses for red over there.
My angels.
My angels, you must practice more.
You know, you must... You must make the wood cry. Show me.
This is an old card, from before the renovations.
But if she had worked here, I would remember her name.
Perhaps she ate here once.
Try it. Try.
Try this.
My God, that's amazing.
My dad made borscht just like that.
Anna, I'm so sorry I couldn't help. It is sad.
Very sad. It's all right.
I'll probably find out more once I get her diary translated.
Her diary?
Yeah. I found it in her bag.
Okay, Anna, this is how it will be.
You will bring the diary and I will translate it for you.
And if we get the names of any relatives,
I will call them myself.
I can just get my uncle to translate... And when you come,
I will make you some more borscht.
Like your papa used to make. So tomorrow? Shall we say 7:00?
Well, then it's settled. But, for now, you must forgive me.
Goodbye, Anna.
Anna.
You always work at Trafalgar Hospital?
Yes. Always.
Yeah. That's good.
Nice bike.
Ural.
You don't see them anymore.
It was my dad's.
How much do you want for it?
It has sentimental value.
"Sentimental value." I've heard of that.
Not staying for party? No.
Nor me.
Chauffeurs don't get invited.
You want to go for a drink instead?
Anna, how is it that your boyfriend wasn't here to carve?
I don't live with Oliver anymore, Uncle Stepan.
I'm living back here for a bit.
For as long as you want.
I knew he would run away from you.
He didn't run away.
Christ, you make me sound like a burning building.
Black men always run away.
Oh, Stepan!
I'm not allowed to be honest?
He was a doctor, Stepan.
What has that got to do with anything?
It is not natural to mix race and race.
That's why your baby died inside you.
Oh, shut up, Stepan!
Anna, please...
You're just how he was, stupid, bloody, drunken Russians.
Hello.
Yeah. It's a panda.
Coast is clear? Yeah? What?
No, not "beach."
I said "coast."
It's an English expression, you fucking baboon.
It means... It means, there are no police?
You're sure? Good.
No. My father is not involved.
The driver stays down here.
Calm down.
Do you really think I do this kind of thing?
He is not a driver. He is the undertaker.
Yeah? Yeah.
I don't like him.
I have converted the upstairs rooms into a private social club.
Some gambling, some drinking,
smoking, food, dancing.
It has been the most surprising...
Hey.
Hey, Ekrem.
Be calm.
Slowly.
I got tickets, Azim.
It's with Chelsea.
They said there was no tickets.
But I got tickets for the Chelsea game.
Okay. Okay, okay. You go watch DVD now.
Come on.
Azim? Yeah?
He knows to say he hasn't seen us, right?
He don't know anything.
He's been touched by the angels.
Yeah. It's him.
He was like a brother to me.
And now, he looks like a fucking ice cream.
Hey! Show some respect for a dead man.
Respect?
This is respect.
Okay, Kolya, he's all yours.
Show some respect.
Pederast!
Have you got hair dryer?
Have you finished cutting his hair?
I thought you might want £6.50 from his pocket.
Better burn wallet.
Okay.
Now I'm going to do his teeth and cut off his fingers.
You might want to leave room.
You too.
Wait...
Aren't we going to weight him down or something?
No. If you want to dump body, this is best place.
This is the best spot to get rid of a corpse.
Let's go.
One...
Two...
Three...
The current will keep it down until past the barrier.
I am so excited this morning.
Yesterday a friend came back to our village
and he told us all about the places on the map that I look at,
Paris, Amsterdam, London. He's been there for real.
He says the future of everything was already happening at all those places.
Anna.
I wasn't expecting you so early.
Is that okay?
I copied the whole thing.
Where is the original?
Well, I was going to keep it.
Thought I might give it to Tatiana's daughter some day.
I will need my spectacles and a clear head.
Today, I broke my rules and I drank vodka.
Tomorrow, I will translate it.
And then I will bring what I've done to your home.
Where do you live, Anna?
Not far.
But I can just drop by and pick it up.
Or maybe I can drive you home.
It's okay. I've got my bike outside.
Come on, Kirill.
Get out.
Okay. Okay.
Get up, Kirill.
We're partners now, man.
Yeah, yeah.
You know?
Hello.
Sorry.
Where's your fucking keys?
We went to Kurdish place.
They don't even celebrate Christmas.
Papa! What did I do?
Is it Merry Christmas, or what?
I think he's had enough.
Who the fuck are you to tell me, "Enough"?
Papa. Hey, Papa!
Papa!
Christ!
You've got water in it.
Water? What makes you think that?
Joke.
Postmen used these in my village when I was a boy.
Russian copy. BMW flat-twin.
Same.
What?
Please.
Allow me.
Get bus.
You have far to go?
Just across the park.
I am driver.
I even do limousines.
Please.
If Semyon, my boss, finds out I let guest walk home in the rain,
he will fire me.
Have you ever met a girl called Tatiana?
I met a lot of girls called Tatiana.
She was pregnant.
In that case, no, I never heard of her.
She died on my shift.
I thought you did birth.
Sometimes birth and death go together.
She came in with needle punctures all over both arms.
Probably a prostitute at the age of 14.
Do you think Semyon's son knew her?
I am driver.
I go left, I go right, I go straight ahead. That's it.
You'll take the next right.
How much do I owe you?
Christmas present.
Morning, sir. Morning.
How are you?
We think he might be Russian Mafia.
And he was a member of vory v zakone.
Stars on his knees means he'd never kneeled before anyone.
In Russian prisons your life story is written on your body
in tattoos.
You don't have tattoos, you don't exist.
This one was a captain.
And he's been professionally processed.
There was something else.
It was in his jacket.
Anna?
Yeah?
Stepan, come here.
Tell her what you told me.
What? Stepan, what? I'm late for work.
Who gave you that?
It was on the dresser.
Mum, you can't go through my things.
You wanted him to translate it. Right and you didn't want to,
so I found someone else.
No, Anna. You don't go to someone else with this.
You don't go to anyone.
Nasilovaniye means rape.
Igla means needle.
Prostitutsiya...
Perhaps you can guess. I'm going to wash my hands.
Anna,
Stepan said that this girl
ended up in the hands of the vory v zakone.
Do you know what that means?
Look,
if I don't find a relative in the next few days
they're going to put Christine out for fostering.
Once she's in the system, she'll never get out again.
Who named her Christine?
I had to call her something.
Sounds like Christmas.
She's so beautiful.
If I can persuade Stepan to translate it, will you leave the rest to the police?
Tell him I've heard bad words before.
So which one are we going to fuck?
What do you care?
Serious.
Pick one. Come on. Let me enjoy myself.
Hear me. You are going to fuck one of these girls.
Okay. Okay.
You're going to fuck one of these girls now!
That's an order.
What's the matter with you?
Who are you going to fuck?
Calm down, Kirill.
I am recommending you to my father.
I have to be sure that you ain't no fucking queer.
That's enough, Kirill.
Enough?
Siberian ox...
You don't tell a vor what is enough.
I'm taking you to my father's favorite stable.
He comes here himself because they're all clean.
So now I'm going to watch you fuck one of these bitches.
So you can prove me that you are no queer.
Psycho.
So, which one is it going to be?
That one.
When I was little, London was like a place in the Bible.
I wasn't even sure if it was real.
My friend has told me there is a place in London where they pay girls to sing.
He said if I sang in this restaurant I would make more money in a week
than my father would in a year.
Very nice.
You did it very nice.
Yeah? Really?
Thank you, brother.
So, if my examination is over,
get the fuck out of here while I get dressed.
What's your last name?
Tell me your last name.
Kirilenko.
Where are you from?
Ukraine.
Which village? Which town?
Irpen.
Outside Kiev.
Stay alive a little longer.
Understand?
My friend said he would get me to Amsterdam
and from there we could find a way into London.
I have been practicing my singing and have even rejoined the church choir.
I'm also practicing my English.
My friend says his uncle owns a restaurant where you can sing.
He's sure this man will take care of me.
Let's go to sleep now. Hello, Anna.
I came on tiptoes.
How did you get in here?
There are always open doors, Anna Ivanovna.
I'm afraid you're not allowed in here.
Please, Anna. Let me speak.
I translated the diary.
I was shocked to discover that my son, Kirill,
is mentioned many times.
I have known for some years that he has strayed from the path
I set out for him.
His mother... His mother died when he was very young.
What did it say about him?
Many bad things.
But please, Anna, let me deal with him.
If the diary should find its way to the police...
I mean, some of the things my son did
are illegal.
And he is a good boy.
I don't care about him. I care about the baby.
Of course. Of course.
That is the baby.
So sweet.
I have made some enquiries.
I have found out an address for Tatiana's family in Russia.
That's where the baby belongs, no?
Perhaps we can do a deal.
Do you understand me?
It's okay. He was just leaving.
So you know where I am,
and I know where you are, Anna Ivanovna.
I was thrown down the stairs, and fell onto some sacks,
like potato sacks.
Kirill came down after me... "Kirill came down after me...
...and he hit me until I was bleeding.
- "...and he hit me until I was bleeding.
"Then he tried to rape me but he couldn't do it.
"He just got madder and madder and kept hitting me.
"In the end his father came down.
"It was the father who raped me.
"He shouted at his son,
"'lf you don't break a horse it will never be tame, Kirill.'"
Hello, dear. How was your night?
Stepan's arthritis is playing up. I'm taking dictation.
Do you want some tea or something?
He came to see me.
The man from the restaurant, he came to the hospital.
I told you this! I told you that... I know and it's my fault.
It's no one's fault.
I have a friend from Ukraine who's got a gun...
Stepan! ...from the war in Afghanistan.
Don't talk about guns.
I dealt with the vory v zakone when I worked for the KGB.
You never worked for the fucking KGB.
I was an auxiliary!
What did this man want?
He wants the diary.
And in return he'll give us Tatiana's family address.
Christine's family.
You cannot do deals with those people.
This isn't a deal. It's an exchange of information.
Have you already forgotten what I just read to you?
We have to be practical.
I think he was threatening to harm the baby.
Then it's settled. No!
Stepan!
This isn't our world.
We are ordinary people.
She was an ordinary person.
Come here.
I've got present for you.
From France.
Old as fuck!
Here.
Open one.
Old is good with wine.
Sixty quid a bottle anywhere. Except I got this for 10 quid a case, man.
From where?
From where, you don't ask.
Now,
if Papa says okay,
I can start telling you about the serious stuff.
Import, export.
This booze is just like gifts for Papa's friends.
The real import stuff is from Kabul.
You understand?
Papa! You scared me. What's wrong? We're just sampling.
What's wrong?
Your friend Soyka is dead.
Yeah?
So what? It has nothing to do with me.
No, no, no. Don't lie to me.
Papa, believe me.
I said don't lie to me! Papa. Papa!
Don't lie to me!
Kirill. Your dad is right. No point lying to him.
What are you saying?
Azim's nephew slit Soyka's throat.
Kirill paid him to do it.
Shut your fucking mouth!
Your dad always knows the truth.
It's okay, boss. You don't have to worry.
What? I don't have to worry?
I got rid of body myself.
Police won't find anything.
My son commits a murder on my own doorstep.
A fellow soldier.
And no one thought to tell me about it?
Vory v zakone code says, "Never speak to anybody about your captain."
Kirill is my captain.
When I find out what happened,
we do what we have to, to clean up situation.
Soyka was spreading lies about Kirill.
About your family.
It was the right thing.
I decide what's right and what's wrong.
You do not kill a vor for no reason.
You know as well as I do, Soyka was talking to police.
For a driver, you are well-informed.
I have connections with Chechens exporting cars.
They tell me Soyka speaks to Russian desk, Scotland Yard.
Kirill did the right thing.
He did a good thing for our people. They will appreciate that.
Yeah, Papa! I swear. Shut up!
If you are so well-informed,
you will know Soyka has brothers.
That's okay. Kirill has got me.
It's okay?
Okay.
Get boxes out of sight.
So you heard him, patsan! Now you get these boxes out of sight.
Ok, ok.
Here. Thank you.
How can you eat? I'm hungry.
That's their driver.
Here he comes.
Meet in public place...
Lot of people around. Very wise.
And I see you bring bodyguards.
Also very wise.
When I was in the KGB, we knew how to deal with scum like you.
And you did what there?
Stepan.
Anna?
Okay.
Thank you.
Now, you give me the address. What address?
Tatiana's family.
