You know how some people
write their name on their books?
I know, but I don't do it.
It's a secret, but there's a "crew"
in the city, stealing personal vehicles.
Four vehicles stolen from
the same area in the past year.
Three!
Oh, even you've heard.
Yes, three.
They failed to steal the forth.
But this will all end soon.
- And how's that? - We caught
a member of the crew. - Who?
A respectable person. An engineer.
The wife - a doctor. Two kids.
Only recently got an apartment,
and this is what he's up to!
- What does he look like?
- A small fellow.
- Kinda round?
- Yes...
- And... you arrested him?
- Oh, no need for such harsh measures.
He planned to escape to a holiday resort,
but I now he can't leave the city.
What if he's not an accomplice, and you've robbed
such a respectable person of his vacation time?
My gut tells me he's innocent.
But a full inquiry is still
a matter of a few days.
I already know the identifying marks
of the crew's leader...
Tall, wears a raincoat,
a hat and carries a briefcase.
And most importantly,
he's round-shouldered.
And how do you plan to catch
the leader?
Comrades! The second half please!
We'd like a metal trap, please.
For a large animal.
- Going for a fox, a wolf?
- A bear. - A wolf. She's kidding...
Could you tell me how it works?
You place the bait here.
- You have bait?
- Yes, yes.
The predator smells the bait,
sneaks up... and he's caught!
- Lovely!
- Sign it out!
- Going well, no?
- Excellent! Now bring the ice cream...
Sima! You're not in the forest!
Guys, don't seperate! (also 'stand out')
Join the Collective!
Go on!
Semitsvetov!
Dima!
- You've got a blonde!
- Sorta beige! - I love night rides!
Guys, when I drink
I don't get behind the wheel!
Give us a ride, Dima!
Give us a ride, DI-MA!
Quiet! Quiet! Quiet!
The police have a sot of test tube
where you go... *pfff*...
You blow and it tells them
if you've been drinking.
And if you have -
they take your license, right?
- I'll go anyway!
- Sima dear, this isn't the beach!
- Don't lie on it! It's been polished!
- There you go...
- Say, I am totally loaded!
- Yes!
I need to put myself
in a horizontal position.
- Who is it?
- Luba, it's me!
What is it?
What happened?
- You see, Luba... Somebody put
bear traps all over the place! - Oh, lord!
Poor me... So unlucky...
I was so unlucky...
The criminal attempted to steal
the same car twice.
I don't think it's coincidental.
I think he wanted your car specifically.
Makes sense... I came
to the same conclusion.
But it does not follow from this
to set a bear trap for a human being.
You couldn't save us from the bandit,
we had to try self-defense.
Why does he cling
to your car specifically?
- You're asking me?
- Who else?
Do you not suspect any
of your acquaintances?
They are perfectly decent people.
Well, perhaps somebody
is jealous of you?
- Of what?
- Strange questions, Comrade Inv.
Check with medical clinics
to see if they had anyone
with this kind of leg injury.
Well, let's put your car
under surveillance.
- No, thank you... No need.
- We're installing a shed tomorrow.
Yes?
Oh, Yuri Ivanovich.
"Can't come"?? Careful, the director
will call for a penalty kick!
Oh, your leg hurts? Well,
then stay in bed, of course...
I'll tell him.
Feel better!
- Whose leg?
- This leg?
...Someone where
there should... leg.
- Well, then, give a call.
- When?
When your car is stolen.
Dima! They're confiscating
Topunov's summer house!
- Who's confiscating?
- What are you, stupid?
Daddy! They're confiscating
Topunov's summer house!
And rightly so!
Long overdue!
"Alleged" scoundrels
must be combatted!
Why "scoundrel"? (dishonest)
The man knows how to live.
Tell me, what sort of wages
allow a vice president
of a knitting factory
to "score" a 2-story palace!
- Simon Max., it's his business.
- No, it's our!
We must mercilessly combat any persons
living on, let's say "ill-gotten
