lfyou don't know your lesson,
I'll gouge your blinkers out
and, how does it go? I'll clobber you!
You get that?
- What's the use of learning English?
- We'll pull a blast at the embassy!
What's the English for ''pencil''?
A table?
A girl?
- A broad.
- No. in English?
- Girl !
- O yes, yes - girl.
Yes, yes, we'll get in a mess.
Hello there! So you're the ones
who are staying here?
No, we're not.
The owner lives in Moscow.
Yes, I know.
I'm the owner.
This is Vassia. He's our adviser
in scientific research.
- Pleased to meet you.
- Hello.
You're good housekeepers.
Doing all your laundry?
- I can't make my husband do a thing.
- Docent would make him.
Come on, let's have some tea.
I've brought a pie.
She's the landlord's daughter,
the fence's!
Only she thinks that her papa
is an archeologist.
He snowjobbed her saying that we
were scientists. Keep up this story.
I phoned papa to find out who were you.
He said, archeologists from Tomsk.
So I hurried down, because last year,
when we were in Tomsk,
your professor Zelentsov
gave us a royal welcome.
Isn't the professor with you?
No!
We only brought Docent.
- What's your name?
- Ludmila.
You can call me Fedya.
- What are you working on now?
- Well... digging things up.
How interesting! You take from
the earth treasures lost for centuries...
Oh, how I envy you!
Maybe you could take me along,
though I have no special training.
- I could be a cook or whatever...
- That All depends On A person.
A friend of mine, a scientist too,
he finished three years of school.
His banknote drawings are so good
they lookjust like real ones.
- Is he the man?
- I can't say for sure.
I'll have to get a closer look.
- Have you a light by any chance?
- I don't smoke.
- Well?
- No, it's not him.
- So he's a dick.
- You're right.
We've checked: there's no helmet at
the addresses given by Docent's men.
There's only one lead left:
Prokhorov, the cloakroom man.
We haven't been able to check it yet,
he didn't come to the appointed place.
He might have got suspicions. He quit
his job and didn't go back home.
- We better find him.
- What'll we do now?
And you... We apologize
and thank you.
You may take the wig off, wash
the tattoos off, and go home.
I wish you a happy new year.
We are very grateful.
- And the boys?
- They'll be sent back to prison.
But ifyour cloakroom man appears,
you'll be needing us.
I would prefer not to tell you this,
but today Biely, or Docent, escaped
from jail, very close to Moscow.
- He broke out?
- Hard to believe, but it's a fact.
It would be too dangerous for you
to impersonate this man now.
Maybe tomorrow, then?
It's New Year's Eve today, a holiday.
They've been trying so hard.
We're living in the country.
Docent will never find us there.
All right.
Only stay in the house.
Oh yes, your message was forwarded
to Sheremetyev's wife.
Here's her reply
addressed to her husband.
Do you promise you'll come for dinner
at our home New Year's day?
- We'll be there!
It's so sad.
Such a nice girl!
And yet her father
is a speculator.
What's all the noise about?
And why did you leave the house?
Here he is again...
The untrustworthy fellow.
Happy New Year!
Vassia...
Gavrila Petrovich...
Fedya...
Comrades!
A brand new year is beginning,
and I hope
that in this year
everything will be brand new for you!
We can't tell what's in the cards,
but I want you to know that wherever
you are, wherever I am,
I will always remember you, men.
And believe me, I'll find you.
Just a minute... I'll be right back.
Just a second...
- Where's he going?
- The devil only knows...
You can never tell with him.
I know what he meant. He said
he'd find us, and he'd bleed us, too.
- You mean he'll bleed us to death?
- No other way.
Look what they say he did to Pockface!
Took his razor and ''swish''!
- Curtains!
- Nothing but a wild beast, a hyena!
Knock, knock, knock... Who's there?
Santa
