play
for the Chicago Black Hawks. Cool!
Can you imagine? Your brother's
going to America to play hockey!
But the Kiev mob
got him.
They egged Chicago Ukrainians
on Mitya.
They said: "We raised you,
we gave you money,
now it's payback time."
Greedy bastards!
Mitya knows if you pay once,
you pay forever.
So he found some local
protection... an American.
Katya, we are talking, OK?
The American got it right.
He found some people
to represent Mitya's interests
in the NHL.
Lots of agents came with contracts
to sign.
Mitya signed them all and
the Ukrainians left him alone.
Everything was OK.
He was scoring his goals.
Not long ago the Pittsburgh
Penguins bought him.
But all the money goes to
the account of this American.
And Mitya gets peanuts.
Mitya waited and waited until
he realized he's been conned.
He goes back to the Ukrainians
but it's too late.
This American is sort of
a new Al Capone.
He even talks to Mitya through
his lawyer.
And Mitya is a star!
- How much does he owe Mitya?
- 900 grand, US dollars.
What about filing a lawsuit?
He signed a contract! Mitya didn't
speak English that time.
He thought the Americans are
honest unlike our lot.
- Guys we want some beer.
- Later.
This American has come to Moscow.
Mitya called me last night.
So what shall we do?
I'll talk to my boss. He's meeting
the American tomorrow.
Can you talk to the
American yourself? You speak English...
They wouldn't let me.
He's a new Al Capone.
What if he never gives it back?
I don't know...
I can't let my brother down!
We're twins, we have always
been together...
It's been a year since I saw him
and I miss him so much.
And who is this Al Capone?
Come on. He was the biggest
gangster in America!
It's for you.
Oh, hi!
Girls!
I just wanted to see you.
Demidov gave me your number.
No, he's not here.
Kotelnicheskaya?
Yes, I know.
See you.
- Where's Kotelnicheskaya?
- You said you knew.
Reveille! Like they say
in the army.
Like they said.
Hey, entrant, time to get
ready for your exams.
Can I make a phone call?
The boss has arrived.
Hi, Mr. Belkin, I'm Kostya,
Gromov's son, from Tula.
Yes, I remember. What is it?
Two years ago you helped my brother.
Now he plays hockey in America.
You asked your partner
Mr. Mennis from Chicago,
to look after Mitya.
But he conned him and took
all his money...
Would you, please talk to him?
If he does not listen to you,
I'll do it myself.
- What will you do?
- I'll speak to him.
- To whom?
- To Mr. Mennis. He's in Moscow.
OK, Kostya, I'll talk to him.
Irina, do you always
watch yourself on TV?
- Dontcha like it?
- Why, it's okay.
But I like bands like Nautilus
or DDT.
What are you doing here then?
Get out. I am pressed for time.
Come on, don't get mad with me.
They don't listen to this kind
of music there. It's fake.
- Where?
- In the war.
What war? There's no war here.
And the rules are different.
This is my kind of music
I really like you. And the music's got
nothing to do with it.
Boris, have you got
a payphone token coin?
Kostya? How did it go?
We'll party in the Metropol.
My boss promised to talk to him.
Pick me up at 6.
Over and out!
How is it going, officer on duty?
You haven't been with us
for a long time, Valentin.
Progress, Richard.
Fax, e-mail, lnternet.
But you came to Moscow
to appreciate the beauty of our capital.
Kate, get us some mint tea please.
I came, Valentin,
because your offer is very serious.
You're right. A federal law was passed
allowing gambling in lndian reservations.
It's illegal for foreign companies
to buy land there.
That's why I addressed to you.
I know you talent for evading the law.
- Mr.Belkin, the tea's ready.
- Bring it, please.
We are talking about
large sums of money.
Sums I know you don't have.
That's true.
But I have very serious partners
whose names I can't tell even you.
The main thing is that everything
will go through me.
Now I would
