What did you just say?
l don't know the numbers hidden in the rings.
l was merely stating the truth.
But that's...
Captain Elenova! What is the meaning of this?
You wasted my time.
You will take responsibility for this.
Hey, yeah
Do you understand where you are?
Yes, right now you're between truth and lies
Oh, the time is ripe
l don't need words of grief
Oh, at this rate we'll end up losing the means to change anything
Deep inside of my small heart, into the light
lt began to move
Nothing can be sweeter than your smile
What l sealed away was the sound of my life being saved
Sometimes l think that is me choosing the way
Body trembling
You must not say l don't care, tell me why
What l'm letting fly is the sound of my life being saved
Lieutenant...
Yes, Ma'am!
Yugo...
For Nadenka
Lieutenant!
Yes, Ma'am.
Has that Arctic internment camp already been shut down?
The one where they used to say
that a man's flesh necrotized from the feet upwards while he was still alive?
No, it should still be there.
That's right.
l'll show Hell to you and Captain Elenova at that camp.
A Hell where you live by licking up the pus that oozes from your own bodies.
Please don't misunderstand me.
l said l didn't know, but l never said l wouldn't tell you.
What's that supposed to mean?
Please let me meet with Nadenka.
l'll find you your answer there.
lf you can't answer me here, why would you be able to answer in front of Nadenka?
l can't tell you without confirming her safety first.
lt looks like you still don't understand your position.
l don't mind killing you and discovering the rings' message with the rest of my organization.
And not just you. l'll kill that girl too.
Solving the mystery of the rings isn't such a difficult thing.
l'd like a guarantee of Nadenka's safety
and written permission for her to emigrate, please.
Fine...
But this is your last chance.
Lieutenant...
Everything happens tomorrow.
Father, soon Russia will be reborn.
ln the Second World War, you became a hero of the Battle for Stalingrad,
and afterwards, you continued to work for Mother Russia.
Even though you rose to the high position of candidate for the Soviet Union's Politburo,
you didn't leave any property behind.
The great villas owned by those in the privileged classes,
the secret accounts in foreign banks,
the foreign money used in the ''dollar shops...''
You took no notice of those things.
Father...
You, who performed your service to your country with purity and righteousness,
and left not one piece of property behind you...
You are my pride.
Reviving the Mother Russia that you loved is my duty as your daughter.
ln order to do that,
l must decipher the message of those rings, no matter what it takes.
ls this really all right?
Yugo...
''O God, l consign everything to You.'' Sergei Alexsandrovich Romanovski...
Sergei, you were a truly good man.
You loved Mother Russia until the end.
But Russia changed.
During the eight years that l was gone from my homeland,
it became a country of chaos where the old glory had been lost,
and poverty and crime were widespread.
Sergei, the mother country you loved is gone.
Do you still consign everything to God?
This is Nadenka's house.
Where's your husband?
We've been awaiting your arrival.
Excuse us.
Your Excellency!
You've done good work.
Where's Nadenka?
Yes, Ma'am.
Nadenka's not at home right now, but she'll be right...
What? l thought l told you not to take your eyes off her.
l'm very sorry, Ma'am.
My daughter is currently at church.
l'll take you there!
l feel a bit reassured.
lt looks like Nadenka isn't in an unfortunate situation.
Of course she's not. We give her enough.
That's not what l meant. lf those people are Nadenka's family,
then her expression in that picture really was staged, wasn't it?
He's a former noncommissioned officer.
They don't have children, so we put Nadenka in their care.
Here it is.
What's the matter? Hurry up and go meet her.
We'll wait until she's finished worshipping.
l don't intend to give you that much time.
Hey, you.
Olga, you're the person responsible. Explain it to her.
Yes, Ma'am.
There's a visitor who has some business with you.
Look, it's him. Would you listen to what he has to say?
l'm impressed.
So you come every day to worship?
l'm sorry to interrupt your prayer.
l wonder if we startled you by crashing in here in a big group?
''Nadenka...'' that's a very nice name.
My name is Yugo.
Yugo...
l came from a city called Tokyo in a country called Japan.
Have you ever heard of Tokyo?
No...
You have an uncle who lives there.
He says he wants to live with you.
Really?
Yes, l think so.
l let you meet Nadenka, as promised.
Now it's your turn to keep your promise.
Your Excellency, may l please borrow the rings?
All right...
Yes, Ma'am.
Thanks.
Nadenka, there's something l want to ask you. ls that okay?
Yeah...
Look at this.
lt's your ring, isn't it?
Yeah, l got it from my grandpa who died.
You know what? This ring was made from splitting one ring into two.
This is a ring that your grandpa's brother had.
Look. There's two sevens lined up here, right?
Yeah...
lf you were going to pick a three-digit number to go in between them,
which numbers would you put in, Nadenka?
lt looks like you've figured it out.
Yep!
What goes here?
9-8-8.
l see! Good job.
Why...
Yugo! Explain! What is this about?
lt's easy.
lt's so easy it's actually difficult to see.
They're all dates related to Russian history.
Dates?
Look.
Take the 1547 you get from putting the rings together.
That is the year that lvan lV ascended to the throne of Moscow.
lt's a date that should be commemorated,
since afterward the Russians drove the Mongol rulers out of Russia.
The other numbers are rearranged.
8-1-2-1 is the year Alexander l defeated Napoleon: 1812.
4-6-8 is 864, the year the missionaries came to Kiev,
the year of Christian evangelism.
Then what are the two leftover sevens?
They don't mean anything.
The access code needed to withdraw money from a Swiss bank is sixteen digits.
But there are only thirteen digits engraved on the rings.
7-7 just indicates the place where the remaining three digits should go.
The two rings are supposed to have been left to the right person to entrust Russia's future to.
ln which case, numbers befitting that end have to go here.
Now, Nadenka, will you tell us why you thought that it was 988?
ln 988, Vladimir l was baptized in Chersonesos.
lt's the year God's love was brought to Russia.
Vladimir l, who made Christianity Russia's national religion...
988, the year of his baptism, is the three-digit number
that the rings of Kristos and the Holy Mother tell us of.
Does this give you what you want?
Lieutenant...
Yes, Ma'am!
lt's permission to emigrate.
Take that girl to Japan or wherever else you want.
No!
l won't go anywhere!
What's wrong, Nadenka? Your uncle in Japan is very rich.
No! l won't go anywhere!
lf you go to Japan, you can have rich relatives and a life of means.
Just knowing that l have relatives... that l'm not alone...
That's enough.
l... l want to stay here forever!
Nadenka...
Because... l'm a Russian!
Russia is the land that raised me!
Nadenka...
You really love this country, don't you?
Yeah...
l love it too.
lt's just...
lt's just that l'd forgotten how to love it until now.
Thank you.
Your Excellency...
l think you understand now why the mystery of the code,
which was supposed to be so complicated,
was something your organization couldn't solve yet Nadenka could solve easily.
Yes, it's because she loves Russia.
But we are the same! How much l love Russia...
Then that's all the more reason why
you should think carefully about how to use Prince Romanovski's wealth.
Even Sergei, who was called a leader of the anti-Soviet activity,
wished for Russia's reconstruction from his home in exile in Japan.
Olga told me that people suffering from hunger could be saved with this money.
l'm sure they could be saved, for a while.
But Russia won't be reborn that way.
lf you spend it on arms, Russia will probably be isolated by the other nations of the world.
Then next winter will be even harsher.
Then what would you do with it?
But the day when you know the true use for that money will come.
The day when you can see the promise of Russia's reconstruction close at hand...
Because this is a mother country that even a twelve-year-old girl loves with all her heart.
You don't have to go anywhere. l'll stay with you.
Yugo...
Let me ask you something.
Did you really understand the message of those rings?
No...
All l had was the certainty that Nadenka would be able to solve it.
You mean you staked even your own life on that coincidence?
No...
l staked my life on the human heart.
Now that you know the access code you don't need these anymore, do you?
Please return them to Nadenka and me.
l'll make you a promise.
l'm going to freeze the Romanovski assets,
until the day comes when Russia truly needs them.
Okay, this is where we part.
What? You're going already?
Yeah...
When will you come next?
l won't be able to come soon, so l'll write you letters.
Bye, Olga.
You're going straight to Tokyo?
l'm going back to Khabarovsk first.
l'm keeping a friend waiting.
Yugo!
Do svidaniya!
Goodbye!
The piercing words that are horribly tangled up in my heart
Can't be so easily untangled
A friend leaves me again
l don't want to become a doll adrift in a sea of humanity
l'll sing my own kind of song
This town has a smell to it that makes me nostalgic
lt brings back memories of my childhood
lt gets you, gets you, grabs your heart and never lets go
Baby, baby, when will l be able to slip away?
l don't know
