But when did he leave? For how long?
- Two days ago, at night.
And the strangest thing was he came
to bid Luba goodbye in some Volga.
- Well, a taxi then.
- No! He was behind the wheel!
- Can Yuri really drive a car?
- Yuri? He was a driver for 10 years.
He had an accident, got a concussion.
He lay in the hospital, I sat next to him.
The doctors advised him
to stop driving for a while,
and he became an insurance
salesman, temporarily.
I can't wait till they're married.
I dream of a grandson. Or daughter...
What's with you?
What city did you send
your employee
...Mr. Detochkin on a business trip?
I didn't send him anywhere.
You see...
Detochkin has many sickly relatives,
in various cities
in the Soviet Union.
I recently got a telegram...
There it is.
Yet another nephew... a beloved one,
got sick. He took an unpaid vacation.
Maxim was beside himself with.
Memories burned in his heart.
How cleverly he masked his interest
in the gang leader's pursuit! Hypocrite!
How he stole a car using a crane!
Sneaky lier!
Thief!
He betrayed what's most important:
friendship! No mercy for such a man...
Mom? It's me. Just got back.
I'm healthy.
Everything calm at home?
No visitors?
You've really done it with
your community theater!
The was an investigator
looking for you!
- En garde, Sir!
- I'm at your service...
It's my honor to attack you...
- Where've you been hiding?
- What?? I had a business trip!
And how's the nephew doing?
- What nephew?
- The beloved one!
And the wolf trap? The injured foot?
And the Droog cigarettes??
Stop improvising! There was
no "Droog" in Shakespeare's time!
And why did you start using
the past tense?
- Podberozivokov!
- Yes?
What do you keep
thinking about?
Stop! Stop waving that sword!
- What a blow!
- Calm down!
- Where is he??
- He's awake!
- He's alive.
- Take five!
- How many cars did you sell?
- Four.
Suppose it's four. In perfect condition,
they're worth quite a bit of money!
What made you this way?
Such a good mother who sings about trains...
- Pardon me, are you a loony?
- No. I even have a note...
Actor...
What an actor!
I've always said: real criminals,
as a rule, are good actors!
I'm observant!
You stole only from people you thought
were scoundrels! I knew right away.
Did you think in court they'd give
you a year or two less?
Where are you hiding the money?
- Here.
- I see!
Hello! Why didn't you
tell me right away?
I ask that you and your friend
move to a private booth.
- Thanks, no need.
- Raichka! Lubochka!
They'll bring you fresh beer!
Just got a shipment! And some vobla fish...
- The vobla (dry salted fish) is fresh too?
- Funny guy, your friend!
So tell me... No news about the car?
- No, but soon.
- Good. Please, eat...
- Let's get out of here.
- Let's stay a bit, if that's ok.
In jail they probably won't
feed me like they do here...
- What's this?
- Change of underwear, just in case.
- And these?
- Permits, receipts, documents.
- What documents? Where's the money?
- This is the money...
- What? You gave the money
away to orphanages? - Yep.
- How much did you keep?
- I kept nothing.
Only for transit and expenses.
Yes, dear viewer. Detochkin
didn't take any money.
True, he's a thief, but he's
a selfless, honest human being.
They've put some accounting
documents on their table.
It's the review board...
Server our "brand name" beer".
Ok.
I did not sell the first car.
I left it for the police at the station.
I put on the wind shield a long note
explaining everything.
While I took a train home.
The second car...
it wasn't entirely fair.
I drove it over to the police too,
and again left a note,
saying the owner's a scoundrel!
But they returned it to him...
Then I decided to start selling them.
I love you!
Here, it's the warrant for your arrest!
Now give it back!
Here.
- Now I shall tear it apart!
- Maxim! You mustn't!
- Yura!
- Don't you dare! You'll get in
