because of some measly 14 years
I have to put up with that murderer?
The one who throws little old ladies
into a well?
Do anything you like,
but I go to the police.
Go ahead.
He won't touch you.
How about you?
Are you going to put up with him
till you're both dead?
Vassia... Vassia!
I told him that I had a cold,
but he said...
Squash it! Who gives a damn
about your cold?
Come here.
Where are you, guys?
Here we are.
- What are you doing?
- We're just sweeping the carpet.
Listen, comrades... Finita la commedia!
First I'm going to remove this.
Watch me now... One, two...
Three!
When I've done my time...
I'll quit!
That'll be it.
Then I'm going to get a job.
Whatjob?
- As a night guard in your village?
- Why A night guard?
I can be a janitor, or a bricklayer,
or a translator.
I know English now.
If only we had that hat with us.
Who's Docent?
A wrong guy.
You have plenty ofthose,
but only one gold hat.
lfwe turn that helmet in,
our sentence might be reduced.
Where could he have stashed it?
We've tried everywhere.
You no good crook!
I told you I had a cold.
And all you could say was ''clobber''.
Made me dive in this weather.
- When did he make you do that?
- When they nabbed us, remember?
He told us he went fishing,
and he made me dive in the water,
when it was thirty below.
Wait a minute.
What did he say about fishing?
That he'd been fishing through an ice
hole, and he asked me if I could swim.
He put the helmet in that ice hole!
Look at him! He remembers!
It's in the hole, in Malakhovka!
And you kept it from us! You could've
left a note when you hanged yourself!
- Come on!
- And him?
Leave him for the cops.
He's too heavy to drag him along.
Come on!
Archeologists! Hello?
- There's not a damn thing here.
- It's there, at the bottom.
- Go on, dive.
- But Why Me?
Crosseyes is always the scapegoat!
- Vassia, tell him to do it himself.
- No. I'd catch my death of a cold.
Afraid to catch cold?
A guy who's hanged himself!
You guys looking for something?
Dive for it!
And make it quick!
- Which way to the landing dock, girl?
- Straight ahead.
I'd waste you, boys...
but I've got other things to do.
Halt!
They are doubling up!
And a third one is back at the house!
Halt!
One!
Good for you, Fyodor Petrovich!
Two!
The more Docents we deliver,
the better for us.
What about us?
We give up, too!
They've shaved his head already.Starring:

- I'll bet there're snakes around.
- What snakes?
Cobras!
- Make the camel lie down.
- Down! Lie down, man!
Come on, Vassia, Vassia, Vassia...
Docent! Hey, Docent!
- He won't lie down!
- I'll clobber you!
Hear that? We'll clobber you!
Lie down, beast, I tell you!
- Where is it?
- Over there, in that yellow tent.
We move as soon as it's dark.

How much does the helmet weigh?
Five kilograms, 242 grams,
and it's pure gold.
Yes...
A pretty heavy hat.
Comrade Colonel,
it's more than a hat...
It's a rarity, it's archeologically
and historically unique.
Everything bears out our theory
that this is the helmet
which the Emperor Alexander
the Great of Macedonia lost
when he set out
to subdue India.
Ask Slavin to come in. You should
guard your precious treasures.
- We had someone to guard it.
- No doubt...
For a thief it's not an archeological
treasure, butjust a piece of gold.
He can take it apart, melt it down,
he might even sell it abroad.
Well...
The culprits' identities have been
established, they're all old offenders.
Yermakov...
Sheremetyev...
Biely, their chief.
- May I?
- Please.
He's a very dangerous criminal.
What a repulsive-looking individual!
Mother! I'm going to be late.
Coming, son.
