affidavit.
And fill me in
on the Rakitin case.
l, Aleksandr Borisovich Turetsky,
born in 1957
in Moscow,
guided by the supreme interests
of the Soviet state,
voluntarily agree...
to work for the organs
of Soviet national security
and carry out
only the personal instructions
of Major-General of national
security V.V. Kassarin.
ln case of divulging
state secrets
or concealing information
of state significance,
l may be initiated
criminal proceedings against,
up to the supreme penalty -
death by firing squad.
l got to step out.
Can you guarantee that l won't have
troubles at the Prosecutor's Office?
- l'm giving you a guarantee.
- What kind of guarantee?
The KGB general's word of honor.
Aleksandr Borisovich,
do you have any choice?
l wonder if l turned off
the kettle before leaving?
Don't be nervous,
Konstantin Dmitriyevich.
The operation will be
a success, you'll see.
What do you want, guys?
lt's off limits.
l got an urgent package
for comrade Georgadze.
- What's your name?
- l'll give you the name.
Men, what are you doing?
He's firing you,
not me.
Are you all right,
Mikhail Porfiryevich?
Shall l call a doctor?
What difference does it make
if l'm all right or not.
What are you talking about, boy?
Georgy, come to my place.
Come now.
l don't feel like living anymore.
Do you understand?
You can make a search,
as long as Andropov gave the sanction.
Don't be afraid, we won't fire.
Call the doctor.
And tell the boys to go ahead.
l'm coming.
Big deal, a million.
You'll find ten millions there.
Paintings, jewelry.
All that is not mine.
lt came from people,
and it'll go to people.
Will anyone answer the phone?
Speaking!
- We have two news.
- Start with the good one.
l don't know
which one is better.
Get out of here now!
Lug off, l said, you nerd!
He wants to marry me, my ass!
Leonovich's wound is not serious.
We've nearly let him slip away.
And the bad one?
An hour ago Georgadze died.
What do you mean, died?
lt's a fact.
Andropov summoned him and demanded
to explain the millions we found.
Georgadze gave a cry and fell down.
l'm off to the Central Committee, you
go to the Embezzlement Department.
Right.
Well, comrade
officers, let's see
if there're any
doodads here from the collection...
of Ter-Pogosyan.
Oh, the bow brooch.
Wait a minute.
The earrings.
With cupids.
Also from the collection.
Here's a record
of the interrogation of
the driver of a 'Sovtransavto' van,
in which all these treasures
were to be
transported abroad,
and it is stated here in no
uncertain terms that
a Leonovich charged him with taking
a bag of valuables out of the country.
And the most interesting.
Yesterday there was a firing
by the former Savoy Hotel.
Yura Leonovich was wounded.
Here's the testimony
of the 'Sovtransavto' driver.
Read it, please.
All right.
What do you want to know?
First of all, how you got
the things exhibited here.
l bought them.
Bought from Ter-Pogosyan
woman at the Ukraine Hotel.
Was that a one-time transaction?
No, of course not.
l did it regularly, in particular,
for the killed Mr. Mather.
Are you familiar
with the name Rakitin?
- What's his first name?
- Viktor Nikolayevich.
Never knew him.
What do you mean, in critical
condition?
Are you the doctor on duty?
What's your name?
Leonovich is in a critical condition.
Bullshit. There must
be some mix-up.
We've just questioned him.
When did it happen?
Leonovich is dead.
lt looks like they've taken him out,
too.
l think he's been poisoned.
Most likely, cyanic acid.
The postmortem will tell us.
So far, the postmortem is the most
accurate field of modern medicine.
The head nurse says
she walked outjust for a minute.
That very minute a treatment nurse
came into Leonovich's ward.
According to description,
she's dark-haired, about 30.
l checked it, there's no
such nurse in that wing.
What's so interesting that
you've read in there, my dear?
You know
