ll set you free. Otherwise they would torment you... ...with confrontations. - And why did Fox believe you? - l don't know why. Maybe he liked me... But l think he just had to. He likes to take risks. He told me: ''Life without risk... ...is like food without salt for me.'' He took enough risks. And l warned him! l warned him! Pubs and women will get you in jail. - Don't say so. - Silence! - Well, go on. - Karp! - Well then... - What? Look at his hands. He is no better driver than Blotter is a violin player. What would you say? You can't cheat on a woman! She feels it with her heart. l say, your hostess is right. l played the piano in a restaurant before the war started. - And where did you learn to drive? - lt's another story. My father had a 1932 Ford. - That was the reason l did the time. - Go on. My dad was arrested in August 1941. But he did not want to wait for the trial. He unwove his wool socks, tied a slipknot and... All our property was forfeited. All of you should work a lot to match my father. lt turned out that he stole goods by railroad cars. Well, Sidorenko... Does the name ring a bell? He was so notorious. He was a stationmaster at Moskva- Tovarnaya. His mistress gave him up. You're a smooth storyteller. Go on. Well, and then... Once l walked with my girl-friend at Pyatnitzkaya street... ...and saw our ''Ford''. lt was re-dyed. l knew my car perfectly well. l could open it with a nail. - So l said: ''Well, Lyola...'' - Lyola? Which one? - From Yelokhovskaya? - No, from Tverskoi. l said: ''Well, Lyola, we shall go for our last ride.'' l had call-up papers to the enlistment office in my pocket. So l got 7 years in prison for that ride. Some colonel from air forces got our car. l didn't see anything inside. But they told me there were... ...some secret papers or maps there. - Well, go there! - Where? There. - Here? - Yes. Prove yourself. Come on. Play something. l can also do it. And what shall l play? ''Murka''. Rings and bracelets, Hats and jackets. Was it me who bought it all for you? That's much better. No, man, a full one! What shall we drink for? Why did you fall silent? May l eat a little? lt hurts to see this food after the prison grub. Eat. The night is long. - Are you a good driver? - Everyone was satisfied with me. Did Fox tell you anything about a friend of his? Cops shot his friend. - Where did it happen? - l wasn't present there. And Fox didn't tell me. He said that they bumped into policemen because of their own carelessness. And his friend got a bullet in the back of his head. He died instantly and didn't suffer. And what did Fox ask you to tell us? He didn't ask to tell you anything. He promised me money if l find his girl friend. And she brought me here. What shall we do? What did Fox tell you? - You should save him. - How can l save him? Shall l take Petrovka by storm? l don't know. l can tell you his idea. - What is it? - Today in the evening he'll tell the investigator, that... ...he wants to admit the robbery of the food store where the guard was killed. Why? Why? ln accordance with the law they must bring him there. ln order to check how he committed the murder. This is the only offence he'll admit. So they'll surely fall for it. Well. They have to take pictures, to draw up reports... l got it. What else? He'll be escorted by investigators and not prison guards. There will be 3-4 men and his investigator. 5 men maximum. They will surely lock the doors of the food store. When they do it, you'll know they are about to bring him there. lt's sort of a signal. He told me that he thought it all over. He pondered upon each detail. He should have pondered on how to stay free. Go on. Here is the plan. As soon as they bring him there, cops will lock the doors of the store from outside. When you come there, you'll enter the storeroom... ...through the back
