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