Yes. Come in.
- Alexander Nikolaevich, journalists want to see you.
- Luda, I said no interviews.
They've gone mad: "Big knifes' night",
"The democracy is in danger", "War of candidates".
- Is there anything on business?
- No.
What about Max?
Except us many people are agitated.
Not a word has been heard.
Work! I've seen his car, it means someone was there.
Sash, the point is that I've met Kolia The Big,
Tariel, Vorkuta and Diamond, they wanted to see you.
But there are so many policemen around you,
they worry a bit.
What do they want?
In short, chaps condemn those, who unleashed the
butchery and they promise to help you to find them.
O.K. What do they want?
O.K. What do they want?
It's a hard time now, and if something,
the government will become brutalized.
It will be hard to get out of it.
- Schmidt.
- Sash, I'm just telling.
I'm just explaining. See this? All this
belonged to my friends.
Cosmos. We were friends from the age of 5.
Vitia, Valera. And now they are gone.
A bastard killed them. And you're telling me not to avenge
my friends! Shit! I'm not a Tolstoyan! I'll squeeze them!
The body feel scared, not me.
You know what? If tomorrow a tiger eats your cleaner in
the zoo, the whole democratic press will cry: "Help!
- The democracy is in danger!" Some ice?
- Yes.
- Does he have children?
- No.
Let's drink to the thing that helps us to survive.
I'm not going to drink to women, they're all bitches.
To publicity and perestroika.
Come on.
Volodia, what was it?
Hello, Sasha. My condolences.
I remember Valera as a boxer.
Vitek was a promising financier. Cosmos, eh. It's a great loss.
I feel their death so keenly. Honestly!
- So.
- Have you found out who it was?
Approximately.
- What are you going to do?
- Haven't decided yet.
Do you know what I wanted to talk about?
- I can guess.
- What do you think?
Nothing.
Sash, don't mince. I want to give you a piece
of advice as a friend. Stand still.
I understand, you've lost your friends. But you
need no clearing up, you're a deputy,
there's a great life in your future.
Don't destroy it. You'll be finished.
You're safe as houses here now. You can lose all this, and then
we won't have fun at the party.
We're like a thread and a needle, Sash, please, stand
still, and forget it. Say "yes" and we'll do everything.
We'll tell the press on what to throw light, we'll help you.
Don't destroy yourself, do you hear me?
I've lost my appetite, I'm too nervous.
I got it. Let's leave everything to its places. O.K.? We'll see.
Scum! Yeah! Bandit is bandit. Sergey!
- I'm sick to death of all this. It's time...
- Got it.
Thanks for trusting me.
We've nothing to share.
That's right.
Besides the atmosphere proposes to be sincere.
By the way, do you trust your helper? I mean Schmidt.
Don't rub salt into my wound!
You're in a very dangerous situation.
A decision was made...
If you want to stay alive, you have
to refuse reply and announce it.
How stupid can be the birds?
Don't you by any chance know
where is Maxim Karelskih?
No. He's Kavelin's man, of KGB.
Kavelin recruited him in 1991.
Maxim had given up active service,
and had big troubles with Chechens,
he had killed one of them.
Volodia helped him
and introduced in your milieu.
He has been working with me 9 years!
9 years!
Sasha, leave, you're in great danger,
do you hear me?
I have to carry out the funeral and I'll do it!
Can you understand it?
And can you understand that it's your end?
Here, a nice one.
He's a little sad here.
I want my son to smile. He was a gay fellow.
I'll look for another one.
Want some tea?
No, thanks. Maybe the photo from his driving license?
Too severe. But it's O.K.
Well.
- Sasha, I have to ask you something.
- Yes?
Don't kill anybody.
I've lost my son, but it's all the same,
I ask you: "Don't kill anybody".
Do you go to church?
I don't remember, when I've been there for the last time.
Go. It's your, Cosmos' and
