him.
That's an interesting move.
Essentially, you'll do
what everyone else does,
but you'll still be able to believe that
your hands are clean. Right?
Yes.
It looks that way.
But I request a secret ballot.
Why?
Honestly? To stall for time.
We have to get paper, pens.
That takes time.
Also, people often vote...
...just so they don't
stray from the group.
So I request that we vote
by secret ballot.
Secret or not, it's obvious
what the result will be.
So, we have a proposal for
a secret ballot
- Does everyone agree?
- Yeah.
- With these?
- Yes, take a ballot and a pencil or pen.
If we're ready to vote,
let's see if we're all here.
Wait...
Someone's missing.
That gentleman went to the bathroom.
I saw him.
- I saw him, honest.
- Why wait? Let's vote.
- He's an elderly man.
- Let's start.
He has to get there and pee,
maybe a bad prostate...
Then put all his equipment back in...
The ballot box. Let's vote.
I see you've done this before.
Yeah. Retirement's boring.
I sit at my dacha and paint watercolors.
Sometimes I serve on juries.
- You're an artist?
- No, not really.
I just paint watercolors as a hobby.
Has everyone turned in their ballot?
- Did you vote already?
- No, we were waiting for you.
"With birth and urination,
there's no procrastination".
Don't worry, I'll be fast.
What a great one-liner!
- Thank you.
- Sorry.
Well...
Let's count...
... shall we?
"Guilty".
"Guilty".
"Guilty".
"Guilty".
"Guilty".
"Guilty".
"Guilty".
"Guilty".
"Guilty".
"Not guilty".
"Guilty".
So, that's ten...
...for "guilty," and one against.
Two.
Two.
Two. For "not guilty".
What? Two?
Wait. That can't be.
Let me check those ballots.
There's no need.
No need to check anything.
I voted to find the young man
not guilty.
What?
5 minutes ago you voted
that the kid is guilty.
At first it seemed clear.
- And now it doesn't?
- No, I can't say it's not clear.
But this man...
...proposed that I take responsibility
for his decision, as well.
And you know, I began to think.
About what?
Excuse me, but I don't understand.
This is some sort of Jewish logic.
Absolutely correct.
I'm a Jew. 100 per cent Jewish.
And like everyone,
I have tons of faults.
But I do have one virtue.
And it's an innately Jewish one.
Thoughtfulness. I treasure it.
I became thoughtful and went off
to think...
And you know,
I began to have doubts.
Why?
The lawyer.
- The lawyer what?
- He was bored.
Why be excited?
That Chechen monster killed his father.
I had the impression
he wasn't even defending him.
And he was right!
There's no reason to defend him.
Exactly. There was no reason.
The boy is destitute,
the lawyer's eyes were empty:
The face of a drunk,
he couldn't function.
Is it because he's not Jewish?
Drunk? Maybe, but honest.
Didn't let a killer off the hook.
But you had a hunch.
You should pray after a hunch.
10 adults had no hunch at all.
- But you did.
- In the can.
Exactly, a sudden hunch in the can.
I think better in there.
Everyone does.
Why are you so worried?
There are 10 of you and only 2 of us.
We should be worried.
But I am worried.
I am worried, see.
How can I not be?
Because I see how you and your
Jewish tricks...
...are muddying an obvious case.
You didn't like the lawyer,
so you just changed your mind.
That's a typical Jewish move.
That's enough.
I didn't change my mind.
And I'm half Jewish.
No such thing as a half-Jew.
Is that a good thing...
...or a bad thing?
Now you, my friend...
...stay out of this
1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Look how much Umar likes your present.
Umar, come eat.
Uncle Volodya is here.
OK, then.
Listen, so you found...
...a good, kind, naive person,
and dragged him over to your side.
- "Braids"
- What?
- What rhymes with it?
- Just a minute. "Braids". "Grenades"!
No, I'm absolutely sure
that we'll all reach the same conclusion.
You'll waste time,
tell us another parable...
...about choosing watermelons
