Petrovits, here, move it over here!
Hey, hey, hey. Show that to me!
We can split it, if it's worth anything.
The Dark Side of the Moon
Did you see him yet? - No. I'm afraid.
Coroner
You've never told me much about my father.
You never asked me anything.
Yeah.
Sometimes it just happens. He just left.
Did he have another family?
Yes.
I never understood it. One moment we were doing great...
Then suddenly he just ruined it. I don't wanna talk about it.
They found this on him.
Solovjov Mihail - born 15.03.1948 Moscow
You look so much like your father.
I'm leaving. I won't be coming to the funeral.
Yes?
Why me?
Okay. Goodbye.
Hello. - Hello.
Who found it? - A working crew, they were digging a new roadbed.
What used to be here?
A cellar, it seems. This used to be the village of Kalatsovka.
It was moved twenty years ago.
So, what do we have here?
This is the body of a young woman.
Her neck has been broken.
I don't think this was a robbery, she still had her jewelry.
I see.
Why did you call me?
I thought this seemed like one of your cases.
That was right next to the body.
When did she die?
Around this date.
The paper was preserved in the plastic bag.
Okay.
I think it belonged to the victim.
1979. Is that a phone number?
That was the hospital number 30 years ago.
Okay.
Solovjov.
What?
Yes.
You're sure it's the carrot top? I'm on my way.
Andrei, we're leaving. - Where to?
They found the carrot top. - I'm calling in the team.
Don't, it might spook him. Let's get him ourselves.
This is about a principle.
Fuck!
You should just get rid of that garbage.
Are you out of your mind? This has been here since my father's time.
Hello. - Good day.
Here. - Thanks.
Good luck.
He hasn't been around for a month,
Today he contacted the landlady and said he'll be coming by.
Do you have the key?
Yes.
He's coming to pick up his stuff.
That's his building.
That's the landlady.
And here's our friend.
Time's up, carrot top.
Take the next turn right. - Thank you.
Let's go, quickly.
Freeze, cops!
Move an inch and I'll shoot you!
What are you saying? Who's a cop? We were just running.
Getting beers! - Yeah!
What is that?
Copper music.
You are cops. I already saw you by the apartment.
I know you. No use denying it.
You've chased me for three years.
Hands! Lower your hands, cop!
Calm down.
Lower your hands!
Clever, huh? Clever?
I hate clever cops!
I've hated them since I was a kid.
Especially you. You!
Ever since this.
See that? Are you ready to die?
Andrei, buddy?
Stop!
Here we go!
You're awake. Good.
Now, we're gonna have some fun.
We've been playing chess for fillips.
I won four times.
How long?
Enough for four games. I am the champion now, but I'm up for a rematch.
How long have I been unconscious?
A couple hours on this ward. I don't know about before that.
What? Couple hours?
Well, you were hit by a car.
I asked the nurse about what happened to you.
You were brought back from the dead.
Your heart stopped for 20 minutes!
Don't do that. You can't treat yourself.
Just be glad that you're alive.
You could've lost an arm or a leg.
Where are my clothes?
I don't know, comrade. I didn't ask.
I was eating when they brought you in.
Slurping soup and stuffing myself with macaroni.
I was careful with the fillips, I know that after an accident..
You.. Why are you up?
Please, get back in the bed.
You had to get this off, too..
Lay down here.
Calm, now.
Get the doctor in here!
You were in a car accident and your heart stopped. You need rest.
Where are my clothes?
In that cabinet.
These aren't mine, I'm a captain.
Where are my clothes? Jeans, t-shirt and a blue jacket?
Please, stop yelling and get some rest.
How is Andrei? I was accompanied by lieutenant Andrei Dronov.
Okay, then. What about my cellphone?
What phone?
Cellphone. The one from my pocket. Where is it?
A telephone in your pocket?
Yes. I had a phone in my pocket. Where is it?
Always protect your head.
There was no phone but you were wearing this when they brought you in.
Are you joking?
Where are my real clothes?
I need to get going, don't you understand?
What...?
Comrade officer, I apologize for the fillips. I didn't know.
Comrade officer, please, get back in bed. You'll have complications.
Comrade lieutenant, you are still in shock from the trauma.
I need to get to the station.
The doctor has to check you out.
Come with me, comrade, please.
Where's the gate? - Over there.
Comrade officer, do you have change for 20 kopeks?
No...?
Hey, mister, have you got any change?
Are they filming for a movie?
"mot"?
Comrade officer, is everything alright?
Nothing's alright. Where's your director?
This is my car, I can show you all the necessary documents.
No need. Do you have a phone?
Yes, I'll write down my number.
Do you have a cellphone. - I'm sorry, what?
I need to make a phonecall.
The public phone, there?
Did something happen? Do you need help?
How...?
How do I.. How do I use this phone?
Calls inside the building are free, comrade officer.
You need two kopeks to call the city.
A two.
The number you have dialed is no longer in service.
The number you have dialed..
Miss, could you...? - Yes?
Mihail?
Can you hear me, Mihail?
No reaction. I think he might be done for.
You forgot this.
Mihail Ivanovits, come with me.
What did you call me?
Mihail Ivanovits.
I'm not Mihail Ivanovits.
I'm Mihail Mihailovits.
Oh yeah? Then why does your ID say Ivanovits?
Then it's not my ID. Where was it?
In your pocket. It has your picture in it.
My ID? This isn't mine.
He just looks a lot like me.
Oh, this is my father's ID.
How did you get a hold of my father's ID?
From the pocket of the uniform.
Where'd you get the uniform?
Your uniform. Put it on.
This is a hallucination.
Come with me to see the doctor, please.
Ilja Abramovits, you are needed.
What's it about? - A patient.
A patient, that's good.
That's great. Come, take a seat and tell me about it.
Comrade officer was hit by a car and was clinically dead for two minutes.
Just give me my phone.
Give me my phone! Stop screwing with me!
Please, don't yell. Just tell him where it was.
I had it in the pocket of my jeans...
In my pocket..
Where is my phone?
Is this like the phone you had in your pocket?
Did I understand that correctly?
Not like that, a private phone, a cellphone.
A mobile one, with buttons.
How is the phone mobile?
Does it have wheels like a cart?
Are you out of your mind?
That's a very serious question.
What is this all about?
What kind of hospital is this, anyway?
Why is there all this, this..?
This what?
All this old stuff?
We here in Soviet Union are doing our best,
To guarantee our children a safe and happy childhood.
Old.
I beg to disagree.
67 is a very good age for a politician.
There's no use. All stations are broadcasting the conference live.
I don't understand... - Sit down.
I don't understand...
Please teach your children patience.
What is that? Is that a DVD?
I don't understand what you're saying.
I don't understand you. I don't understand what you're saying.
B. Pasternak - Doctor Zhivago, 1955
What is a DVD?
A town in Georgia, maybe? There are so many in there,
Suhumi, Batumi, Sugdidi and probably Devede, too. A town.
Why are you screwing with me?
Why..?
Why are you trying to make a fool out of me?
Mihail Ivanovits, please, try not to get agitated.
I am not my father, okay?!
Of, course. Of, course. Calm down.
Just answer me this one question-
Who are you?
I'm going to find out.
Mihail Ivanovits. You forgot this.
Let me repeat this. Mihail Ivanovits was my father.
I am Mihail Mihailovits, understood?
I just look like him. My father had a scar in his arm, I don't.
Must've been something prohibited in the magazines again.
Mihail Ivanovits.
So, 1979.
1979.
What happened to me? - You were hit by a car.
What are you doing? Wasn't once enough already?
Where are all the foreign brands. - What brands?
I'm thirsty. - Thirsty? Do you have a parched throat?
I'm thirsty! Thirsty!
Thank you.
Come on over.
Water. - You can get water from the tap.
Vichy. - From the vending machine.
Comrade officer, we have juice.
Okay, an orange juice, please.
Miss, don't marry this guy,
Imagine the kind of kids you'd have.
We have birch juice. You want it?
Yes, he'd like that.
How much? - Seven.
Have you got money? I don't have enough.
What's that in your hand?
You better marry him after all. A fiver isn't even money for him.
Here you go. - Thank you.
You have to come back to the hospital. Your papers have to be signed.
Solovjov.
They called us from the hospital.
They said that you were uncoscious. That your heart stopped.
Kotov didn't buy it and sent us. But you're already up and about, eh?
Did you want a little vacation while we catch fixer-Fedja?
Who's fixer-Fedja?
Kotov threatened to bust you for slacking. Do you have a doctor's certificate?
Well, we caught you. Get in the car, Kotov is waiting. Hurry up.
Solovjov, take your own car.
Dubtsenko drove it here. Now, hurry up.
Dubtsenko? From where?
The scene of the accident. What were you doing in Volhonka?
I don't know.
You were running across the road when some maniac ran you over and fled.
What do you mean he fled?
Did you file an APB? Are you looking for him?
Looking schmooking, the patrollers are looking for him. Here's your keys.
We going? - We're going. We're going. We're going.
My father had a yellow moskovits.
The pulse is stabilizing. Check the bloodpressure.
Nurse, show me the x-ray.
There's no visible damage.
Let's take another tomograph tomorrow. No, let's make it tonight.
Keep monitoring the heartrate. Don't let him die.
Constant monitoring.
Mihail, can you hear me?
Everything okay? - Yes, I just haven't used a stick shift for a while.
Mish, are you alright?
Listen..
I don't feel like driving. Maybe you could?
Sure I'll drive.
Stop!
What is it? - Nothing.
Here we are.
How about it, Solovjov?
Afraid of the chief? I get it, we all are.
Let's go.
Solovjov, come on, move it.
What's up, Solovjov?
You drank too much last night and decided to chill at the hospital, huh?
I've been patient with you, but enough's enough.
My department wont stand that kind of behaviour.
Slacking is the last straw.
Congratulations, comrade major.
Very nice picture. Young ladies are sure to frame it on their walls.
Yeah? - Uh huh.
But Solovjov will be demoted to a patrolman.
Dealing with old womens gossip and drunk fights and..
What they call the kindergarten of the militia. That'll suit you better.
You'll be a patrolman again.
Sign this form.
Go on.
Alright.
Is this a joke?
What is this signature?
Something..
..has happened to me.
Oh really?
A car ran you over and fled the scene.
You were found lying uncoscious in the middle of the road.
In the hospital you regained consciousness.
Or maybe that's all a lie, I don't know, Solovjov.
Maybe you bribed the doctor with booze?
Here.
Sign this again.
It's not working.
It must be out of ink.
Okay, Solovjov. Know, that I'm tired of your jokes.
Here. Fill it.
Hey, Solovjov, have you ever even used a pen before?
I..
Comrade, never a pen like this.
Give it here. That's enough, Solovjov.
I'll make sure they won't even let you be a patrolman.
Okay.
Write your letter of resignation or you will be fired.
No thanks. My father was a militia captain, he was never fired.
What are you mumbling about, Solovjov?
Yes?
What?
Fine, I'm on my way.
Bad timing, eh? Let's go.
So, what happened here?
Something I wish had happened in the neighbor district.
A robbery? - Worse.
Murder? - Even worse.
Hooliganism involving a foreigner.
In my district. The top brass is keeping their eye on this.
Hello.
I don't have any problem, detective.
What happened?
The guy got his ass handed to him. We happened to be nearby.
Who did it?
Big-Kolja.
That crook started this! - Calm down.
It's just a misunderstanding.
I have no complains, the man is just drunk.
Are you english?
I'm american. My name is Steve.
Steve Austen, I'm a journalist, you know, the press.
What did he say? - Something about the press.
I understood the press.
First the press, then hostile, american and radio freedom, right?
That asshole started this.
Fucking facist! Die!
Enough! Sit down!
Guys, I have no problems,
but if you need to go throught the formalities, I'm okay with it.
Just, I don't speak russian and I will need some help, you know
And a consulate, okay?
Zolobov, What is he saying?
Is he threatening me?
You threatened me? - Sorry?
Was that a threat?
He says he doesn't speak the language.
Says he has no claims but if we want to file this he needs a translator and a consul.
How do you know this?
Do you understand him?
Yes.
Steve.
Tell us what happened here?
Oh, my god, man, you speak english, oh, my god.
Oh, my god. I'm a journalist, you know.
I have all my documents with me.
Did he hit hard?
Not so hard. I fell down and hit my head a little, but now I'm okay, really.
Sure not? What year now?
It's 1979, man. Are you kidding me?
Country? Where are we?
In the Soviet Union, man.
I hit my head not so hard, I'm okay. I just wanted to take some pictures, and that's it.
Is American president black?
Sorry? - Is American president black?
American president black?
You're kidding me, man.
What did you do to the foreigner, Solovjov?
What did you say to him?
He said he just wanted to take pictures of the park.
The bastard's lying.
he wanted to break the swings. - American president black?
Imperialist pig didn't want soviet children to be happy.
That's enough. Sit down and calm down.
The swings are intact.
We'll file a report on both of them.
Tell him that we're taking him to the station and calling him a consul.
Excuse me.
Solovjov, what is it? You vying for my place?
Where's my place?
I would tell you but the regulations forbid me.
Over there, that's your pigsty.
And you're sitting there.
Mish, have you forgotten?
You said I could sit here since there's no room for a third desk.
I notice that you're struggling with the apartment shortage, too.
Eyes on me. You notice my ass.
Mish, listen..
Can I have your desk when you put your stuff away?
You can put them in the cabinet for now and take them home later.
I just need to sit a while.
You can sit but don't bother us.
Isn't that right Kolja? We're working now.
This ain't no work.
I'm not hiding anything. I was just minding my business and enjoying a beer.
When I saw a person enter the park and start breaking the swing.
What else could I do? I had to hit him.
Why didn't you try to talk to him first?
I'm not gonna talk to crooks.
Who could've guessed he was an american?
Not that I'm ashamed, they even hang niggers there. I did the right thing.
Look at his eyes.
We have a reaction.
Mihail, can you hear us? Give us a sign.
Mihail, can you move at all? Mihail, can you hear me? Mihail?
Mish? - Mihail?
Mish, hello?
What is it?
Hey, Solovjov, when are you gonna pay back that tenner?
Who are you?
What is this? I'm Prjahin.
Have you forgotten? I loaned you a tenner.
I heard you were quitting. All the more reason to pay me back soon.
I haven't borrowed anything!
Stay off the bottle! Pushy fellow..
Excuse me, comrade lieutenant.
Lenin-room.
There..
A door should be here.
Of course, the renovation was only five years ago.
Am I asleep?
Am I dreaming?
Not a dream, a hallucination?
Or reality?
Crazy people always think they're sane.
How can you know?
This.
Shit.
If I knew english, I could catch the spies.
Marriage status?
Four ex-wives.
Are you currently married? - Would I work the night shift if I was?
Which swing was he trying to break?
He didn't break anything.
I wasn't asking you.
Have you lost it? - What swing did he try to break?
One that swings back and forth.
Did he come out of the forest?
Yes he did. He even reminded me of a partisan.
Okay, come with me. - Go home, Mish.
Did he see you?
No, I was hiding because I didn't wanna be punished for public drinking.
Off you go now. Go, go, go.
Never touch me again, okay?
Ah, how embarassing.
Shut up!
We hope the perpetrator will be punished.
With the full extent of your severe law.
The perp is already in custody.
And giving his statement as we speak. - Yeah.
You will be called to court as we decide on the date.
Okay.
You can't come in.
Excuse me. Do you have some.. hanky?
I'm sorry, what? - Hankerchief for a nose.
I got one, do you need?
I asked Steve already, thank you, we know each other.
Solovjov?
Yeah, we met before, it's ok. - Sorry.
Give him, give him, give him.
Okay.
Thank you very much, thank you
With pleasure.
You have quite the characters here.
He's a smart kid.
Higher, mommy.
Hello. Do you need something? Can I help?
Do people walk their dogs here?
No, we asked them to go elsewhere for the kids sakes.
You could still find them over there.
Dogs. What horrible creatures, right?
Yes.
Sit.
Miss. - Yes?
Hello. - Yes, hello.
Do you know of a dog who can track scents?
Mine can.
Could you help me?
An officer? Of course. But you need an object with a scent.
I have a hanky.
Here by the swings.
Give it to me, quick.
Here.
Find! Find!
He found it? - Yes.
You were looking for this?
Yes, I suppose.
Thank you very much. - And Ljoka.
And Ljoka too, thank you.
Ljoka, no. Well, was that everything?
Yes.
Let's go Ljoka.
Alrighty, then.
Where is it?
What are you doing there lieutenant?
Who's asking? - Take a wild guess.
I can't imagine.
What were you looking for? - I don't know.
If you do find something, let me know.
Who are you?
Are you being rude, Solovjov?
Did you find something and think you're tough now?
Take it easy.
Don't stick your nose in to this.
You just worry about moonshiners.
We'll deal with the american.
He's a spy?
Ask him yourself.
Tell us where the alchonaut smacked him?
Don't you know everything?
You have the alchonaut in custody, so I don't know. Where?
Over there, by the swings. - You're sure?
I'm sure.
See that you don't lie to me.
If you have any ideas, you tell me. We can be friends.
Friends don't frisk each others pockets.
Be careful. We offer our friendship only once.
I think you have the wrong man.
I think that's all, comrade Solovjov.
Home.
Solovjov!
Yes?
I had to see you.
For the last time, I hope.
What?
This here. Home delivery.
What is it?
Your letter of resignation.
This is about dad... I mean, me.
You wanted to level the field.
Smooth and flat, Solovjov.
Hold on.
This isn't gonna fly. You're talking to me now.
We have nothing to talk about. You were my main rival.
But now you'll never get to Kotov's position.
You've sunk so low, even morally.
A long time ago?
A long time ago, what?
I sunk a long time ago?
You haven't solved a single crime for six months.
Something has happened to you, and it's all in my favor, great Solovjov.
Is it a lover? It's a lover.
Evening, Mihail Ivanovits. - Evening.
Dad.
Hey.
This can't be happening.
It just can't.
Dad, why are you acting strange?
Mish, what's the matter?
Has something happened?
At work?
Was it Kotov again?
Say something, you're scaring me!
Mish, go to your room.
No. I'm a big boy, I need to hear what happened.
Nothing happened.
Go, go.
Really?
Yes.
Mish.
I'm just tired.
Mish, tell me the truth, what's going on?
I'm fine. Everything's fine.
Did Kotov harass you again?
It's all good, everything's fine, worse things have happened.
I got hit by a car and was taken to the hospital.
Everything's fine. Nothing's wrong.
Okay. Then why did you have to scare me like that?
Are you telling the truth?
Have you been drinking?
Mish, hey. Kiss me.
Not now. - Why are you yelling at me?!
I'm not yelling, just... We can't do this, not now!
What can't we do? We can't iss?
Mom, you don't...
Stop it. Get away from me.
You are my husband! I'm worried! I love you!
Dad, what will life be like in the year 2000?
What?
Will life be better in the year 2000?
I don't know.
I guess better, unless the US declares a war on us.
There will be no war.
I have to write a letter to the pioneers of the future.
What letter?
We will bury a time capsule in the park tomorrow morning.
The pioneers are writing letters to the future.
I wonder what the future will be like?
What will I become?
What is it, dad? Dad?
What is it, dad?
Listen.
I have so much to tell you.
Okay.. You're going to a camp next summer.
Don't eat the pastries, you'll get food poisoning.
Don't peek into the pioneer leader's room at night.
He's there with the gym teacher and.. after that he..
Don't play icehockey, you'll only break your clavicle.
It won't do you any..
Dad?
Hold on, just try to remember this. Or better yet, write it down.
Here, write it down. Here's a pen.
The army.. Try to avoid sergeant Muhamadijev.
Avoid Muhamadijev.
Money. Money is of course important.
The july of '98 buy dollars with all of your money.
Dad, dollars are in America, how can I buy them?
Just listen. You will thank me later.
So..
Svetka! Svetka in staircase B.
Stay far away from her.
Nothing ever comes out of the thing with Svetka.
Nothing but lover's pox and the treatment will be..
This is about you? - No, you.
Dad, what is lover's pox?
Mihail?
Can you hear me?
Mihail?
I'm here.
What's going on?
Mom.
I wan't to go home, mom.
Take me back home.
Mish, come here.
I can't. - Mish. Why can't you? What's stopping you?
I can't. - Mish?
I can't.
Then don't.
Why aren't you sleeping?
Mom, I'm thirsty.
Go on then.
Be quick with it. School starts soon.
You should get back to bed.
Mom? What is lover's pox?
What? - Lover's pox.
Where did you hear that? - Dad said it. He's being treated for it.
Does it have something to do with prostitutes?
I wondered what this was about.
And you were already bragging to your son.
About what?
I wondered why you didn't want me anymore.
And now I find out you can't because you're sick.
Yes.
I'm sick.
I don't know...
How to explain this to you...
Something's happened to me.
How...
I would prefer if you -
..told me who you got it from?
Who was the jezebel?
What jezebel? What are you talking about?
I'm saying that other husbands, -
They bring home their salary, -
Not a lover's pox.
No. You've misunderstood.
I wanted Mish to know... - Get out now.
It's not what you think.
Leave, now, please. I don't want to see you anymore.
Don't make me yell at 2 am.
Leave.
Get out. Get out, now. Get out.
