Love from Israel - Sept 2007Copy !req
2. Audiences like thrillers.Copy !req
3. It's pleasant, watching a story
knowing how it's going to end.Copy !req
4. In general, it's flattering
to feel smarter than the authors.Copy !req
5. The people in the capital contend
that this improbable storyCopy !req
6. took place in Moscow.Copy !req
7. Odessa residents insist that it was
their lovely city where it happened.Copy !req
8. Leningrad and Rostov-on-the-Don disagree.Copy !req
9. Seven cities contend over this,Copy !req
10. just as seven cities call themselves
the birthplace of Homer.Copy !req
11. To tell you the truth, it's unknown
where this story took place,Copy !req
12. and whether it took place at all.Copy !req
13. And so, as you've noticed,
it was a dark night.Copy !req
14. The anonymous man tried
very hard to remain undetected,Copy !req
15. and at this he succeeded.Copy !req
16. It was so dark, quiet and deserted,Copy !req
17. that one felt almost compelled
to commit a crime.Copy !req
18. Beregis avtomobilyaCopy !req
19. - Call Post number 2-06/B...
- Got it!Copy !req
20. - Close down all the roads!
- Got it!Copy !req
21. Immediately get me the photosCopy !req
22. - ... of the treadmarks!
- Got it!Copy !req
23. Tanya! You find out about the fingerprints!Copy !req
24. So... This is the third car to be
stolen from the same area.Copy !req
25. All three were done by the same hand.
Experienced and skillful.Copy !req
26. Maxim Petrovich, this hand was working
clad in cotton gloves from factory no. 8.Copy !req
27. Then it's not "Gold Tooth" Peter.
And what did we learn from analyzingCopy !req
28. the oil which this criminal so enjoys
using on the garage hinges?Copy !req
29. Turns out the oil is refined.Copy !req
30. Did you notice that in that yard,
where this theft occured,Copy !req
31. and nearby on the street,
many garage-less cars are left overnight?Copy !req
32. I did.Copy !req
33. And isn't it easier to steal a car
from the street than out of a garage?Copy !req
34. That's a very accurate observation.Copy !req
35. If one were to apply Stanislavsky's
teachings about the Ultimate Goal,Copy !req
36. a curious thought arises:Copy !req
37. the criminal is advancing by the
path of most resistance. And why?Copy !req
38. Well, when we discover his Ultimate Goal,
we'll catch the criminal.Copy !req
39. That's grand!Copy !req
40. Comrade Investigator, I forgot
to inform you of one detailCopy !req
41. - ... that might be helpful.
- I'm listening, Comrade Victim.Copy !req
42. Above my back-left wheel, there was
a dirty word scratched with a nail...Copy !req
43. Hold on...
Ok...Copy !req
44. Which?Copy !req
45. Hello, Luba.
I'm back.Copy !req
46. Comrades! Please fill the vehicle quickly,
don't just stay near the tail.Copy !req
47. Yuri Ivanovich, to get on the trolleybus
enter from the other side.Copy !req
48. Here I go.Copy !req
49. - Hello, Jacov Michaelovich!
- Oh, hello, Detochkin!Copy !req
50. - Well, how's your uncle in Dushanbe?
- Uncle? Poorly.Copy !req
51. And last time it was your
aunt from Moldova...Copy !req
52. My first cousin.Copy !req
53. - I thought you said...
- She passed away.Copy !req
54. Yes... We're all mortal, Detochkin...
All but mortal.Copy !req
55. But if people did not die,Copy !req
56. we wouldn't be able
to sell life insurance, right?Copy !req
57. You cannot deny, Detochkin, that
I give you special attention and care.Copy !req
58. Each time your relatives
get sick or die,Copy !req
59. I grant you unpaid leave.Copy !req
60. You're an exceptionally
understanding manager.Copy !req
61. That's true, Detochkin, but your
relatives are plentiful,Copy !req
62. but I only have very few
staff units... Yes, yes.Copy !req
63. You see, your trips are
interfering with our plans.Copy !req
64. I'll make up for it!Copy !req
65. Really? Please understand,
Detochkin,Copy !req
66. I can't put personal considerations
above public ones, I have no choice.Copy !req
67. - I... I'll make up for it!
- Well, go make it up...Copy !req
68. - A policeman told me yesterady that
the appointment letter isn't valid. - Why?Copy !req
69. - Because you'll need to notarize it.
- Alright.Copy !req
70. - Your signature, please.
- Dima, sign it.Copy !req
71. To be honest, I don't even know
why I get insurance for my possessions.Copy !req
72. What about fires?Copy !req
73. It would be a shame if such possessions
were to burn down with no compensation.Copy !req
74. Maybe we should insure
our car too?Copy !req
75. Did you buy a car?Copy !req
76. As you wish. Insurance for
personal cars covers death,Copy !req
77. accidents involving collision
or acts of God.Copy !req
78. - What about theft?
- Well, not theft.Copy !req
79. Mr. Ivanovich, I'm not
yet rich enoughCopy !req
80. to pay for acts of God...Copy !req
81. - And where do you keep it?
- Come here!Copy !req
82. Beige... not a garish color.
Don't you have a garage?Copy !req
83. Not at the moment.Copy !req
84. I keep trying,
but it's not at all easy.Copy !req
85. The space is still only a promise,
so no garage yet.Copy !req
86. But I already got a lock...
It's Japanese. No one can fool it.Copy !req
87. Yes, no doubt it's hard...
Not even with a master key.Copy !req
88. This calls for a blowtorch...
Cutting with those is such a hassle...Copy !req
89. Please...Copy !req
90. - So long.
- Goodbye.Copy !req
91. Well done, dear...Copy !req
92. - Want a ride?
- I'm going the other way.Copy !req
93. Suite yourself!Copy !req
94. Anyone who doesn't own a car
dreams of buying one.Copy !req
95. And anyone with a car
wishes he could sell it,Copy !req
96. and refrains from doing so only
because "then you won't have a car!".Copy !req
97. Man, more so than any
other living creature,Copy !req
98. loves creating unnecessary
difficulties for himself.Copy !req
99. This is precisely the way to explain
the wish to have your own car.Copy !req
100. The thought that 5,000 Rubals,
just thrown away on fancy wheels,Copy !req
101. could poison any happy soul.Copy !req
102. - Mom...
- You're here!Copy !req
103. I still don't understand what sort of
business trips an insurance salesman has.Copy !req
104. What are you waiting for?
Dinner's ready. Wash your hands.Copy !req
105. What's making your briefcase so heavy?Copy !req
106. Mom, it has all the stuff
I need for my work.Copy !req
107. You're scary to look at,
you've become so thin...Copy !req
108. These trips are suspicious... I wrote
the newspaper to say milk should be delivered...Copy !req
109. Oh - Karchnoy won the chess tournament,
but I was rooting for Tal.Copy !req
110. He lost by half a point...
Don't mock your mother!Copy !req
111. - Welcome back!
- Thanks.Copy !req
112. Eat, and don't slouch.Copy !req
113. These trips look suspicious
to others besides me.Copy !req
114. Who else?Copy !req
115. Dumas' last book was a cookbook.Copy !req
116. You're eating onion soup
by the great author Dumas-senior.Copy !req
117. - It's good... - These trips look
suspicious to Luba. And she's right.Copy !req
118. - She doesn't wish to marry a loser.
- Did she tell you that?Copy !req
119. What is it with you?Copy !req
120. No, not now. He's only just came back.
No, I think not.Copy !req
121. That night, Maxim Podberozivokov
was moving in an unknown direction.Copy !req
122. From across this big city,
in an even more unknown direction,Copy !req
123. Yuri Detochkin was advancing.
They were walking towards fate.Copy !req
124. They were growing closer.Copy !req
125. Every investigator must have a hobby,Copy !req
126. to which he devotes his free time,
left when he's not pursuing criminals.Copy !req
127. For instance, Sherlock Holmes
played the violin,Copy !req
128. For Maxim Podberozivokov,
it was amateur acting.Copy !req
129. the development of the popular art
of amateur acting is moving forwardCopy !req
130. with seven league steps. Finally,
new times are breathing down the neckCopy !req
131. of the likes of us, the collectives of amateur
performance. We are being expanded,Copy !req
132. with the creation of popular theater,
by forming a select team out of local groups.Copy !req
133. Today is a festive day for us.Copy !req
134. We're creating a new popular theater!Copy !req
135. I hope it will be a sturdy
organism... a solid...Copy !req
136. - Comrade Detochkin! Sit down!
- What for? Hello, Sir.Copy !req
137. Pardon...Copy !req
138. between these hospitable walls of our
art house we find all the conditionsCopy !req
139. for people of various professions to get
acquainted with MelpomeneCopy !req
140. who was, as you know... a Muse...Copy !req
141. Our own community theater,
you see, consists of twoCopy !req
142. collectives of comrades.
Policemen, and, well... chauffeurs.Copy !req
143. - I recognized you.
- But it isn't me...Copy !req
144. Sure it's you...
You said: "A who is to judge?"Copy !req
145. I've never said any such thing
about any judges...Copy !req
146. You did, you did...
Wasn't it you who played Chatskov?Copy !req
147. Oh... It was.
I completely forgot...Copy !req
148. And now the two of us
will be acting in the same play.Copy !req
149. - I'm very glad!
- Me too!Copy !req
150. Some say, that these popular theaters
will soon replace, and rightly so,Copy !req
151. professional theater!
And they are right!Copy !req
152. When I worked in the theater...
and I was... Well, nevermind.Copy !req
153. And obviously, an actor who isn't
being paid will act with more inspiration!Copy !req
154. And besides, an actor should
work somewhere...Copy !req
155. You see, it's just not appropriate for him
to spend all his days in the theater, loafing about!Copy !req
156. I mean, how much better Yermolova could
have been acting, if by day...Copy !req
157. you see... by day she worked...
at the sanding machine.Copy !req
158. The calling of the community theater
comes with many responsibilities.Copy !req
159. Oh, we played them all in our collectives...
It's best to forget...Copy !req
160. Is it not time, my friends,Copy !req
161. for us to take a swing at our own,
William... you see, well, Shakespeare.Copy !req
162. Let's swing away!Copy !req
163. Here, an "Alpinist" transistor radio.
Careful, please.Copy !req
164. - Pardon, who's Dima? - I'm Dima.
- I'm here for Oleg Nikolayovich.Copy !req
165. - Which Oleg Nikolayovich?
- Your pal Oleg Nikolayovich. - I'm listening.Copy !req
166. - Sign it out, please.
- There you go.Copy !req
167. - How many speeds on this?
- Three: 78, 35 and 43. Cashier's over there...Copy !req
168. I require a voice tape recorder.
Either American or German made...Copy !req
169. Here's a great one.
Made in the motherland.Copy !req
170. Motherland-made
won't do, thanks.Copy !req
171. - A foreign one's hard to find...
- I understand! How much?Copy !req
172. - What is it, Sir?
- I'm looking.Copy !req
173. What is this, a zoo?
Here's a TV, go and look.Copy !req
174. - Fifty.
- Fifty?Copy !req
175. - Get a grip, man!
- It takes finding, transport...Copy !req
176. - Italian? - Yeah.
- It'll have to be resereved...Copy !req
177. - Leave me your number.
- OK.Copy !req
178. - "Belomor" cigarettes, please.
- No Belomor. - What, then...?Copy !req
179. - Well, then some Droog cigarettes, please.
- Here, 30 Kopeks, please.Copy !req
180. Taxi! Taxi!Copy !req
181. Please, Sir! I beg you!
I'm late! Is this your car?Copy !req
182. - No.
- But you're the driver?Copy !req
183. No, no.Copy !req
184. - Then what are you doing?
- I'm trying to steal it, but you're in the way.Copy !req
185. Then please, steal me along with it,
I'm late for my train!Copy !req
186. - You're really late?
- Yes.Copy !req
187. - Get in. - Thank you!
- Mind you, you're an accomplice now!Copy !req
188. Very good...
To the Kurski station!Copy !req
189. There!
I did warn you...Copy !req
190. Hold him! There he is!
We got him! Hold the thief!Copy !req
191. Hold him! Don't let go.Copy !req
192. Oh, you little thief...Copy !req
193. I'm no thief! I'm late for a train!
Look, there's my ticket!Copy !req
194. He came prepared! Look how
cautious he is, ah?Copy !req
195. Police!
Police!Copy !req
196. Finally! Quick! We caught the little crook!
He tried to steal my car!Copy !req
197. I beg you, hurry.
Hold him!Copy !req
198. - Who's the owner? - I am!
I mean, we. We caught the thief.Copy !req
199. I'm not a thief! I'm late for a train
and he took away my ticket!Copy !req
200. - Your papers?
- Here's the ticket.Copy !req
201. - And yours. - What for?
- For the car.Copy !req
202. - We'll clear this up somewhere else.
Is there a witness? - Me! Why? What happened?Copy !req
203. I'm not the thief! He got away.
Unfortunately, I can't remember his face...Copy !req
204. - I'm late for the train! Actually,
I'm too late already. - Hold him!Copy !req
205. "Shakespeare"
DramaCopy !req
206. - Yours? - No! God forbid!
- Yours? - No...Copy !req
207. Yes! I am a witnsess! Me!
I look better in profile...Copy !req
208. Well, let me start
at the very beginning...Copy !req
209. I didn't get any Belomor delivered
this morning. "Oh well", I said to myself.Copy !req
210. I'm tired of saying "No Belomor!"
all day long...Copy !req
211. Maybe you could
try to be brief?Copy !req
212. Young man, in your profession
you should not be hasty.Copy !req
213. "Belomor" is a lead for this
investigation! This very person,Copy !req
214. the one who broke into your car,
first asked for Belomors,Copy !req
215. and then bought Droog cigarettes.Copy !req
216. Thirty Kopeks, with the
little dog on the pack.Copy !req
217. Then I thought:
"Why is he nervous? Why?"Copy !req
218. Wait! Stop! What do you
keep thinking to yourself?Copy !req
219. Every actor must have
his lines memorized perfectly.Copy !req
220. There's no need to
run around the stage.Copy !req
221. Act with your head!Copy !req
222. And no need to swear, either,
or I'll take you off the field... the, ah... rehearsal.Copy !req
223. - I don't swear, I...
- Recess!Copy !req
224. About this part, Yevgeni Alexandrovich:
"Let go, for God's sake!"Copy !req
225. Oh, let it go...
It's recess...Copy !req
226. - What am I to him, a child?
- Oh, don't get upset... - Smoke?Copy !req
227. - What are you smoking?
- Droog cigarettes.Copy !req
228. Yes... Droog cigarettes...
With the little dog... 30 Kopeks...Copy !req
229. Usually I smoke Belomor,
but they didn't have any.Copy !req
230. Out of Belomor, you're right,
so he bought Droog.Copy !req
231. - "He" who?
- The criminal.Copy !req
232. What criminal?Copy !req
233. A modern one. Cultured. I might even call
him a new type of criminal.Copy !req
234. - What did crooks use to forget
at crime scenes? - What?Copy !req
235. Hats, cigarette butts, and now...
Shakespeare!Copy !req
236. Don't be alarmed.
No blood stains here!Copy !req
237. - So you're, what, an investigator?
- Yes, I handle car theft cases. - Theft?Copy !req
238. No fingerprints.
The criminal works with gloves on.Copy !req
239. - But this does not interest you...
- No... it's very interesting!Copy !req
240. You see, there's
no library stamp, no...Copy !req
241. I said, there's no library stamp,
or an owner's name.Copy !req
242. You know how some people
write their name on their books?Copy !req
243. I know, but I don't do it.Copy !req
244. It's a secret, but there's a "crew"
in the city, stealing personal vehicles.Copy !req
245. Four vehicles stolen from
the same area in the past year.Copy !req
246. Three!Copy !req
247. Oh, even you've heard.
Yes, three.Copy !req
248. They failed to steal the forth.
But this will all end soon.Copy !req
249. - And how's that? - We caught
a member of the crew. - Who?Copy !req
250. A respectable person. An engineer.
The wife - a doctor. Two kids.Copy !req
251. Only recently got an apartment,
and this is what he's up to!Copy !req
252. - What does he look like?
- A small fellow.Copy !req
253. - Kinda round?
- Yes...Copy !req
254. - And... you arrested him?
- Oh, no need for such harsh measures.Copy !req
255. He planned to escape to a holiday resort,
but I now he can't leave the city.Copy !req
256. What if he's not an accomplice, and you've robbed
such a respectable person of his vacation time?Copy !req
257. My gut tells me he's innocent.Copy !req
258. But a full inquiry is still
a matter of a few days.Copy !req
259. I already know the identifying marks
of the crew's leader...Copy !req
260. Tall, wears a raincoat,
a hat and carries a briefcase.Copy !req
261. And most importantly,
he's round-shouldered.Copy !req
262. And how do you plan to catch
the leader?Copy !req
263. Comrades! The second half please!Copy !req
264. We'd like a metal trap, please.
For a large animal.Copy !req
265. - Going for a fox, a wolf?
- A bear. - A wolf. She's kidding...Copy !req
266. Could you tell me how it works?Copy !req
267. You place the bait here.Copy !req
268. - You have bait?
- Yes, yes.Copy !req
269. The predator smells the bait,
sneaks up... and he's caught!Copy !req
270. - Lovely!
- Sign it out!Copy !req
271. - Going well, no?
- Excellent! Now bring the ice cream...Copy !req
272. Sima! You're not in the forest!
Guys, don't seperate!Copy !req
273. Join the Collective!
Go on!Copy !req
274. Semitsvetov!
Dima!Copy !req
275. - You've got a blonde!
- Sorta beige!Copy !req
276. I love night rides!Copy !req
277. Guys, when I drink
I don't get behind the wheel!Copy !req
278. Give us a ride, Dima!
Give us a ride, DI-MA!Copy !req
279. Quiet! Quiet! Quiet!Copy !req
280. The police invented a test tube
where you go... *pfff*...Copy !req
281. You blow and it tells them
if you've been drinking.Copy !req
282. And if you have -
they take your license, right?Copy !req
283. - I'll go anyway!
- Sima dear, this isn't the beach!Copy !req
284. - Don't lie on it! It's been polished!
- There you go...Copy !req
285. - Say, I am totally loaded!
- Yes!Copy !req
286. I need to put myself
in a horizontal position.Copy !req
287. - Who is it?
- Luba, it's me!Copy !req
288. What is it?Copy !req
289. What happened?Copy !req
290. - You see, Luba... Somebody put
bear traps all over the place! - Oh, lord!Copy !req
291. Poor me... So unlucky...
I was so unlucky...Copy !req
292. The criminal attempted to steal
the same car twice.Copy !req
293. I don't think it's coincidental.
I think he wanted your car specifically.Copy !req
294. - Makes sense... I came to
the same conclusion. - But why?Copy !req
295. Still, setting a bear trap for
a human being is not justified!Copy !req
296. You couldn't save us from the bandit,
we had to try self-defense.Copy !req
297. Why does he cling
to your car specifically?Copy !req
298. - You're asking me?
- Who else?Copy !req
299. Do you not suspect any
of your acquaintances?Copy !req
300. They are perfectly decent people.Copy !req
301. Well, perhaps somebody
is jealous of you?Copy !req
302. - Of what?
- Strange questions, Comrade Inv.Copy !req
303. Check with medical clinics
to see if they had anyoneCopy !req
304. with this kind of leg injury.Copy !req
305. Well, let's put your car
under surveillance.Copy !req
306. - No, thank you... No need.
- We're installing a shed tomorrow.Copy !req
307. Yes?
Oh, Yuri Ivanovich.Copy !req
308. "Can't come"? Careful, the director
will call for a penalty kick!Copy !req
309. Oh, your leg hurts? Well,
then stay in bed, of course...Copy !req
310. I'll tell him.
Feel better!Copy !req
311. - Whose leg?
- This leg?Copy !req
312. Someone where
there should... leg.Copy !req
313. - Well, then, give a call.
- When?Copy !req
314. When your car is stolen.Copy !req
315. Dima! They're confiscating
Topunov's summer house!Copy !req
316. - Who's confiscating?
- What are you, stupid?Copy !req
317. Daddy! They're confiscating
Topunov's summer house!Copy !req
318. And rightly so!
Long overdue!Copy !req
319. We must fight "alleged" scoundrels!Copy !req
320. Why "scoundrel"?
The man knows how to live.Copy !req
321. Tell me, what sort of wages
allow a vice presidentCopy !req
322. of a knitting factory
to "score" a 2-story palace!Copy !req
323. - Simon Maximovich, it's his business.
- No, ours!Copy !req
324. We must mercilessly fight any persons
living on, shall we say, "ill-gotten gains"!Copy !req
325. - Be quiet, dad!
- Scared you, didn't I?Copy !req
326. Why don't I just kick you and
throw you off my property?Copy !req
327. Dad, I'm sick of your barracks-style
sense of humor... Why always the kicking?Copy !req
328. Why so arrogant, son-in-law?
Who the hell are you?Copy !req
329. This is MY summerhouse!Copy !req
330. Please don't argue,
the workers might hear...Copy !req
331. Let everyone hear:
it's MY summerhouse!Copy !req
332. Listed as yours...
but built with my money!Copy !req
333. - Try and prove it!
- Oh, stop it, will you?Copy !req
334. You live your life by proxy!Copy !req
335. - Get awa...
- Leave the doggy!Copy !req
336. Car under your wife's name,
the summerhouse under mine...Copy !req
337. You have nothing!
You're dirt poor!Copy !req
338. Why? Why must I live like this?
Dear god, what for? Why?Copy !req
339. Me, a person with higher education,
has to sneak around, adapt...Copy !req
340. and wriggle!
Why can't I live freely, openly?Copy !req
341. - Oh, when will it end?
- Never! What do you mean, though?Copy !req
342. Do you realize what
I could do to you over this?Copy !req
343. Just like that!Copy !req
344. I do...
I know.Copy !req
345. Ah... He's scared!Copy !req
346. Show him some mercy, daddy!Copy !req
347. This guy must never forgot who I am!
While he's just an ordinary scoundrel!Copy !req
348. Simon Vasil...Copy !req
349. I probably should
kick you after all!Copy !req
350. Oh, I just gotta!Copy !req
351. - Who is it?
- Luba, it's me!Copy !req
352. - What happened? Another trap?
- No, this time it went... ok.Copy !req
353. Thank god...Copy !req
354. You're going away?
A business trip?Copy !req
355. Right now?
At night?Copy !req
356. Don't blame me... I have to...
because, you see,Copy !req
357. business trips are
a complex thing to arrange...Copy !req
358. Luba? There's no need
to get so upset...Copy !req
359. I'll be back in a few days.
I'll write you from there, ok?Copy !req
360. Luba? I am very upset too...
Don't you see?Copy !req
361. - Excuse me! Hello!
- Hello.Copy !req
362. - Our car, has a problem when
turning right. - I'll take a look.Copy !req
363. - Yes. Also, when shifting gears
it makes this ticking... - I'll give a listen.Copy !req
364. - And the front-right wheel overheats...
- I'll give it a feel.Copy !req
365. - Yes. Also, two days ago the car
smelled like gas all day... - I'll smell it.Copy !req
366. - I think it's the...
- Open the garage, will you?Copy !req
367. Well, where's the car?Copy !req
368. - Comrade Commander...
- Hello! - Hello.Copy !req
369. I see you're traveling alone. Please,
could you help me start this piece of junk?Copy !req
370. - Help start the motorcycle?
- Yes, can't do it alone. - With pleasure!Copy !req
371. No... battery's dead!Copy !req
372. I've asked them a thousand times
to get me a new bike...Copy !req
373. - Yes, you can't live with an
old battery... - Tell me about it...Copy !req
374. - So? On three?
- Let's give it a try!Copy !req
375. Get on!Copy !req
376. Ok, now give us a boost!
Come on, little boost, little boost...Copy !req
377. - Ok, stop! I can see you're
out of breath. - A bit, yeah.Copy !req
378. - Well, now let me push you around.
- What's the point?Copy !req
379. Listen, friend. Let's tow it
with your Volga. You got a cable?Copy !req
380. Oh, who knows what's in there...Copy !req
381. I can't remember.
I'll have a look.Copy !req
382. Got tow-rope!Copy !req
383. We're good!Copy !req
384. - It's fixed! Thank you, friend.
You saved me! - Don't mention it...Copy !req
385. - People are friends to one another.
- That's excatly right!Copy !req
386. I was in trouble - you helped.Copy !req
387. If you were in trouble -
I'd help.Copy !req
388. Together we work at a common goal:
you - your way, and I mine. - Exactly!Copy !req
389. Say, friend, is there
a telegraph nearby?Copy !req
390. Not far.
Get in, I'll escort you.Copy !req
391. "GAS STATION"Copy !req
392. I would like to ask for 5 days vacation
due to the grave health situation...Copy !req
393. situation of... of...
my beloved nephew. Thank you.Copy !req
394. Oh? Oh? Right, I see.
Writing it down...Copy !req
395. Right!Copy !req
396. Resting?Copy !req
397. - Is something wrong?
- No, no... Nothing.Copy !req
398. - Who's the owner?
- Yeah, who's the owner?Copy !req
399. Me.Copy !req
400. - The documents for it!
- The docum—...Copy !req
401. I apologize.Copy !req
402. The chase! What thriller story
can do without it?Copy !req
403. One runs, the other keeps up.
This - is the unbreakable genre rule.Copy !req
404. A thriller without a chase, is like...
life without love.Copy !req
405. Detochkin loved children.
He had no choice.Copy !req
406. Detochkin saw that
it was over.Copy !req
407. He felt like shutting his eyes close...
but feared of hitting schoolchildren.Copy !req
408. But the inspector also loved children,
and couldn't honorably cede to Detochkin.Copy !req
409. - You're nicked, brother!
- Oh, yeah?Copy !req
410. From the Police, it's useless to...
What the hell? Wait up!Copy !req
411. - You! Don't drive off! Wait!
- So, brother?Copy !req
412. What "so?"
It's the battery again...Copy !req
413. I did warn you that you can't
live with an old battery.Copy !req
414. - I've always feared it'll break
during an important job... - Of course!Copy !req
415. There! They couldn't just replace
my motorcycle... - My sympathies!Copy !req
416. - You didn't get lucky!
- But you did.Copy !req
417. - Well, one of us two
had to get lucky. - Right...Copy !req
418. So what shall we do, brother?Copy !req
419. Why did you run away from me?Copy !req
420. Force of habit.
You chase, I run.Copy !req
421. Me too! You run, I chase you.
Maybe lend me a hand?Copy !req
422. We'll hook it up to your Volga,
like we did the first time.Copy !req
423. No! I've seen how you repay kindness!
Sorry. I'm going.Copy !req
424. - Don't interfere.
- Look, the police!Copy !req
425. Lock the garage.Copy !req
426. - Commence!
- Up!Copy !req
427. Down...Copy !req
428. I've always said that this
criminal is talented.Copy !req
429. Perhaps even... more
talented than me.Copy !req
430. - That can't be!
- No, it happens...Copy !req
431. Jesus... All in singles!Copy !req
432. No interrupt me,
or I to start from beginning.Copy !req
433. There - 5,500!Copy !req
434. Pardon, but why is all your money
in singles? It's suspicious.Copy !req
435. And who are you?
The public prosecutor?Copy !req
436. I don't ask where you got the car,
why there're no documents.Copy !req
437. I can answer openly -
I stole this car.Copy !req
438. I can tell you who from and why.Copy !req
439. I too can tell you honestly:
I'm a pastor.Copy !req
440. These Rubals - donations to Him.
Well, there was a bit left over...Copy !req
441. And you believe in God?Copy !req
442. All people believe. Some, that god exists.
Others, that he doesn't.Copy !req
443. Neither can be proven.
Are you gonna count again?Copy !req
444. I am!Copy !req
445. As promised: Grundig tape recorder.
Four tracks, stereo sound...Copy !req
446. But is it new?Copy !req
447. - Brand new. I checked personally.
- Well, I'll take it... I remember.Copy !req
448. - Eighty.
- What? You said fifty!Copy !req
449. - Things have changed for me.
- Well, this is a robbery!Copy !req
450. You don't have to. I'll sell it.
in a second! So elegant...Copy !req
451. - ... four tracks, stereo sound...
- I'll take it.Copy !req
452. Mister, this item is sold.
Don't touch it, it's sold.Copy !req
453. But why do you suppose
he stole YOUR car?Copy !req
454. - What's wrong?
- They caught me.Copy !req
455. I'm a dead man.
The investigator came to see me.Copy !req
456. They'll lock you up.
Next time don't steal...Copy !req
457. Semion Vasiliovich!
You're in MY home!Copy !req
458. - Jail is your home...
- Dad! Bad day for these jokes!Copy !req
459. Inka! What shall I do?
What to do?Copy !req
460. Start drying crackers!Copy !req
461. Dima, don't worry!
We need to bribe him!Copy !req
462. Bribe him? Are you crazy?
You're crazy!Copy !req
463. - If you give a lot, he'll take it!
- Be quiet! Calm down!Copy !req
464. I won't allow it!
A disgrace!Copy !req
465. Dad, why don't you go back
to the marketplace with your wisdom!Copy !req
466. I sell strawberries grown
with my own two hands!Copy !req
467. For bribery - I'll destroy not only
a son-in-law, but my own daughter!Copy !req
468. Don't worry...
In jail you'll be re-educated.Copy !req
469. Ten years from now,
you'll return a new man!Copy !req
470. Put the birdie down!Copy !req
471. Should have married an orphan...Copy !req
472. Don't worry, I really do have
all that money. Here, a full bag.Copy !req
473. Do you really want to
transfer that amountCopy !req
474. - ... to that orphanage?
- Yes.Copy !req
475. Did you grow up there?
Are these your personal savings?Copy !req
476. Well, how shall I put it...
I, too, played a part in it.Copy !req
477. - Hello. I'm looking for Yuri Ivanovich
Detochkin. - Please enter.Copy !req
478. - I'm Yuri's mother.
- Nice to meet you.Copy !req
479. I'm from the community theater.Copy !req
480. I'm so glad Yuri's in the theater.Copy !req
481. - I think he has skill.
- He's really talented!Copy !req
482. - He didn't show up for rehearsal...
- Sweetheart, he's on a business trip.Copy !req
483. I hate his business trips!
Running off at night, disappearing.Copy !req
484. - Luba's got a point, it's not right!
- But when...?Copy !req
485. Luba - that's his bride.
There's her photo.Copy !req
486. He's kind of old-fashioned.
His courtship was very long.Copy !req
487. She drives the trolleybus.
Admirable woman.Copy !req
488. They met when he came
to sell her insurance...Copy !req
489. Tell me, what sort of business trips
could an insurance agent even have?Copy !req
490. Why does he return nervous?Copy !req
491. - You know... - What is it you do?
- I'm an investigator.Copy !req
492. Well you should figure this out!Copy !req
493. When I was young, I was being
courted by an investigator.Copy !req
494. But I married a man from the Red Army.
The whole battalion came to the wedding!Copy !req
495. We sang: "Our train flies forward,
next stop - in The Commune!"Copy !req
496. - Do you know it?Copy !req
497. - But when did he leave? For how long?
- Two days ago, at night.Copy !req
498. And the strangest thing was he came
to bid goodbye to Luba in some Volga.Copy !req
499. - Well, a taxi then.
- No! He was behind the wheel!Copy !req
500. - Can Yuri really drive a car?
- Yuri? He was a driver for 10 years.Copy !req
501. He had an accident, got a concussion.
He lay in the hospital, I sat next to him.Copy !req
502. The doctors advised him
to stop driving for a while,Copy !req
503. and he became an insurance
salesman, temporarily.Copy !req
504. I can't wait till they're married.
I dream of a grandson. Or daughter...Copy !req
505. What's with you?Copy !req
506. What city did you send
your employeeCopy !req
507. Mr. Detochkin on a business trip?Copy !req
508. I didn't send him anywhere.
You see...Copy !req
509. Detochkin has many sickly relatives,Copy !req
510. in various cities
in the Soviet Union.Copy !req
511. I recently got a telegram...
There it is.Copy !req
512. Yet another nephew... a beloved one,
got sick. He took an unpaid vacation.Copy !req
513. Maxim was beside himself.
Memories burned in his heart.Copy !req
514. How cleverly Detochkin had masked his interest
in the gang leader's pursuit! Hypocrite!Copy !req
515. How he stole a car using a crane!Copy !req
516. Sneaky liar!
Thief! Traitor!Copy !req
517. He betrayed what's most important:
friendship! No mercy for such a man...Copy !req
518. Mom? It's me. Just got back.
I'm healthy.Copy !req
519. Everything calm at home?
No visitors?Copy !req
520. You've really done it with
your community theater!Copy !req
521. The was an investigator
looking for you!Copy !req
522. - En garde, Sir!
- I'm at your service...Copy !req
523. It's my honor to attack you...Copy !req
524. - Where've you been hiding?
- What? I had a business trip!Copy !req
525. And how's the nephew doing?Copy !req
526. - What nephew?
- The beloved one!Copy !req
527. And the wolf trap? The injured foot?
And the Droog cigarettes?Copy !req
528. Stop improvising! There were no
"Droog" cigarettes in Shakespeare's time!Copy !req
529. And why suddenly the past tense?Copy !req
530. - Podberozivokov!
- Yes?Copy !req
531. What do you keep
thinking about?Copy !req
532. Stop! Stop waving that sword!Copy !req
533. - What a blow!
- Calm down!Copy !req
534. - Where is he?
- He's awake!Copy !req
535. - He's alive.
- Take five!Copy !req
536. - How many cars did you sell?
- Four.Copy !req
537. Suppose it's four. In perfect condition,
they're worth quite a bit of money!Copy !req
538. What made you this way?
Such a good mother, sings about trains...Copy !req
539. - Pardon me, are you a loony?
- No. I even have a note...Copy !req
540. Actor...
What an actor!Copy !req
541. I've always said: real criminals,
as a rule, are good actors!Copy !req
542. I'm observant!Copy !req
543. You stole only from people you thought
were scoundrels! I knew right away.Copy !req
544. Did you think in court they'd give
you a year or two less?Copy !req
545. Where are you hiding the money?Copy !req
546. - Here.
- I see!Copy !req
547. Hello! Why didn't you
tell me right away?Copy !req
548. I ask that you and your friend
move to a private booth.Copy !req
549. - Thanks, no need.
- Raichka! Lubochka!Copy !req
550. They'll bring you fresh beer!
Just got a shipment! And some vobla fish...Copy !req
551. - The vobla is fresh too?
- Funny guy, your friend!Copy !req
552. So tell me... No news about the car?Copy !req
553. - No, but soon.
- Good. Please, eat...Copy !req
554. - Let's get out of here.
- Let's stay a bit, if that's ok.Copy !req
555. In jail they probably won't
feed me like they do here...Copy !req
556. - What's this?
- Change of underwear, just in case.Copy !req
557. - And these?
- Permits, receipts, documents.Copy !req
558. - What documents? Where's the money?
- This is the money...Copy !req
559. What? You gave the money
away to orphanages?Copy !req
560. - How much did you keep?
- I kept nothing.Copy !req
561. Only for travel and expenses.Copy !req
562. Yes, dear viewer. Detochkin
didn't take any money.Copy !req
563. True, he's a thief, but he's
a selfless, honest human being.Copy !req
564. They've put some accounting
documents on their table.Copy !req
565. It's the review board...
Server our "brand name" beer".Copy !req
566. Ok.Copy !req
567. I did not sell the first car.
I left it for the police at the station.Copy !req
568. I put on the wind shield a long note
explaining everything.Copy !req
569. While I took a train home.Copy !req
570. The second car...
it wasn't entirely fair.Copy !req
571. I drove it over to the police too,Copy !req
572. and again left a note,
saying the owner's a scoundrel!Copy !req
573. But they returned it to him...
Then I decided to start selling them.Copy !req
574. I love you!Copy !req
575. Here, it's the warrant for your arrest!
Now give it back!Copy !req
576. Here.Copy !req
577. - Now I shall tear it apart!
- Maxim! You mustn't!Copy !req
578. - Yura!
- Don't you dare! You'll get in trouble!Copy !req
579. Maxim! Fellows!
We're friends! Hey, guys!Copy !req
580. Hey, boss! It's ok! Boss!
It's all good! Boss!Copy !req
581. So take it!
I'm giving it to you!Copy !req
582. Come in! Goodbye!
So long!Copy !req
583. Friend!
Friend!Copy !req
584. Listen, friend! Don't put me away
until opening night, I beg you.Copy !req
585. I won't put you away at all!
Live free!Copy !req
586. A role like this, comes once
in a lifetime, you see?Copy !req
587. Play opening night, and then
all the shows after that!Copy !req
588. - No need to let me play the rest.
- No! There IS a need!Copy !req
589. - Oh, you...
- I'm off to Luba's.Copy !req
590. Don't get hit by a car!Copy !req
591. Why did you do it? Who asked you?
Who made you do it?Copy !req
592. Look at yourself!
I mean... you're an idiot.Copy !req
593. You're talking like a 3-year-old.Copy !req
594. Why did you sit down?
Get up!Copy !req
595. What to do? My God!
Did you think about me? No? No.Copy !req
596. You've only ever thought of yourself!
They'll put you in jail, Yura,Copy !req
597. - ... and they'll be right to do so.
- They will be wrong.Copy !req
598. - Yes. - No.
- Button that...Copy !req
599. I'll wait for you, Yura.
Five years, eight years, ten years.Copy !req
600. - As long as it takes...
- Thank you...Copy !req
601. Ten... that means
I'll be forty six by then.Copy !req
602. - Yes, that's... well...
- My God!Copy !req
603. - Who did I get involved with?
- Who with indeed? Well?Copy !req
604. No, I mean just look,
see what you look like...Copy !req
605. What do I look like?Copy !req
606. My God! You've ruined my life...
Yurachka!Copy !req
607. Yura!Copy !req
608. - Good morning. It's me!
- Hello!Copy !req
609. Tell me, have you heard that
there was another car stolen today?Copy !req
610. And did you look out your window today?Copy !req
611. Hello? Hello! Say something.
You're looking out the window, are you?Copy !req
612. And?Copy !req
613. Why did you do that?
Since when are you stealingCopy !req
614. car from honest people?
What of your principles?Copy !req
615. Oh, but it's Stelkin's car,
and he takes bribes!Copy !req
616. What Stelkin? This car belongs
to a famous scientist! A PhD!Copy !req
617. On moment, I'll just
verify with my files.Copy !req
618. He has files!
Pitiful bureaucrat!Copy !req
619. THe car is Stelkin's,
and he takes bribes!Copy !req
620. It can't be!
Could I be wrong?Copy !req
621. Take the car back to him
immediately! And as for you...Copy !req
622. I advise you to get over here,
as they say, "all packed and ready"!Copy !req
623. What about the show?Copy !req
624. There will be no show!Copy !req
625. Enter!Copy !req
626. Here's the account about
all the work done.Copy !req
627. The report... about my arrest.Copy !req
628. Good evening!Copy !req
629. - Congratulations on the premiere!
- You too.Copy !req
630. They got me such a funny wig!Copy !req
631. Why would you need a wig?
You've spent your whole life "in costume".Copy !req
632. And why do you talk about
my life in some past tense?Copy !req
633. Trial's tomorrow!
You're looking at 5 years.Copy !req
634. I have mitigating circumstances:
I'm an honest person.Copy !req
635. Like what? Stealing cars from
criminals to sell to other criminals?Copy !req
636. Honest indeed...Copy !req
637. So my job had some drawbacks.
Whose doesn't?Copy !req
638. You, for example, for a long time
you failed to catch me.Copy !req
639. It's hard to catch a person
leading a double life!Copy !req
640. - Lying and cheating everone!
- I was constantly tormented by that.Copy !req
641. Tie the bow for me.Copy !req
642. No good deed can go hand in hand
with lying and dishonesty.Copy !req
643. You played judge and executioner!
What gave you the right?Copy !req
644. In all conscience, this is all
a folly and a crime.Copy !req
645. Crime...Copy !req
646. You're in custody,
where are you going?Copy !req
647. - So you think I'm guilty too?
- Yes!Copy !req
648. Comrades, we've got a full house!
Everyone on stage, please.Copy !req
649. Oh, don't forget to say:
"To be or not to be?"Copy !req
650. Still not ready?Copy !req
651. Here, Hamlet, my handkerchief!
Wipe your forehead!Copy !req
652. The Queen drinks to your success, Hamlet!Copy !req
653. The third time, Laertes, stop kidding.
I ask you, attack with all your might!Copy !req
654. - I'm afraid you think I'm a wuss.
- You think! We begin!Copy !req
655. Let us forgive each other,
honorable Hamlet.Copy !req
656. Heaven make thee free of it!
I follow thee. Horatio!Copy !req
657. I am dead...
Mother, adieu!Copy !req
658. Yura, I'm here!Copy !req
659. Stand up! Court is in session!Copy !req
660. The trial continues.Copy !req
661. Detochkin circumvented the law,
but the law doesn't joke around.Copy !req
662. In all his years, the judge had never before
seen such a strange, paradoxical case.Copy !req
663. The law could take Detochkin's
freedom for as much as 5 years.Copy !req
664. Detochkin isn't just a thief - but worse!
He's a bandit!Copy !req
665. He should be tried for brigandage
and breaking and entering!Copy !req
666. This guy went after what is
most sacred for us! The constitution!Copy !req
667. It says there: "Every person
has the right to own property...Copy !req
668. and it's protected by law."
Every man has the right to own a car,Copy !req
669. a summer home, books... money!
Comrades, nobody's canceled money yet.Copy !req
670. From each according to their ability,
to each according to their need... in cash.Copy !req
671. Let the court note,
that there are criminal chargesCopy !req
672. against this witness, Mr Semitsvetov.Copy !req
673. - Daddy! - No matter, dear,
you'll find another, an honest one.Copy !req
674. While Dima Semitsvetov's future
was gradually become clearer,Copy !req
675. the future of Yuri Detochkin
remained vague.Copy !req
676. Finally, the court called the most
important witness: Maxim Podberozivokov.Copy !req
677. Distinguished memeber of the court.Copy !req
678. First I lead this case
as an investigator.Copy !req
679. But when it turned out that
the defendant was my friend,Copy !req
680. I resigned from leading the case,Copy !req
681. and am now appearing
only as a witness.Copy !req
682. I understand, your honors,
it's a complex issue:Copy !req
683. Detochkin broke the law,
