DAU. Brave People (2020) - full transcript

It is 1953, Stalin has just died. It is a troubled and uncertain period for the whole of the Soviet Union, particularly for the state security services. In the Institute, a secret research ...

So now we might ask, but
how can we do something

so that bit by bit, preserving

this evolution of the average,
which looks quite reasonable

we move from the quantum
to the classical setting?

The idea is clear - we have to
look at systems. What systems?

Ones in which

the operator would have
more eigenvalues

Let's erase this, so I have some room.
Excuse me?

No, Weyl

- Weyl matrices is the second one
- Well, let's have a look

X squared, dp/dX
squared and X dp/dX



Z1 dp/dZ1

minus Z0 dp/dZ0

- Sorry, sometimes I may lose a half...
- Doesn't matter

Yes. For simplicity
I'll look at some matrices...

Sigma plus Z1 dp/dZ0

And sigma minus
Z0 dp/dZ1

What have we got here?
Here you are

What is this?

- The Ogoniok magazine
- The Ogoniok magazine

Close your briefcase please and
we'll continue with the search

- Dubosarsky, hold this please
- With pleasure, Shein

Go on through

Sign here

Come here please



Shein

Who are you? A guest?

- Are you a guest?
- I'm a film director

I'm making a film
about the Institute

Turn around please

Take off your hat please

Thank you, sign here please

- Thank you
- You're welcome

May I ask you for

your pass?

Take off your headgear please

- Thank you
- Sure

May I have your arm?

- Undo your coat please
- Of course

What have we got here?

- Come through and sign here
- Sign there please

- Thank you
- Your briefcase please

- Of course
- Can you undo it please?

Yes

Wait there

Thank you

Comrades, here is our Institute

There are the residential blocks

On the left you can see
D2, Dau's apartment

On the right is D1,
a kind of dormitory

for Institute employees and scientists

Dubosarsky

- I'm just looking
- An artist has to see everything

This is work for me

Above you can see Comrade
Krupitsa's office

He's the Director of the Institute

He's away on business right now

To the left and to the right,
we have laboratories

Here's the small lab and the
big one is over there

There are other
services in that building,

we'll visit them as well

- How many people work at the Institute?
- 300

- 300
- Every day?

Yes, they are the permanent staff

Do they work at weekends as well?

Our scientists
don't have a fixed schedule

They often stay late at night
in the laboratories

The theoretical scientists may
also have discussions

at any time of the day:

weekends, holidays, at night or at home

- In the theoretical department, maybe
- They live in science

Yes, of course

This staircase leads to
Comrade Krupitsa's office,

but no one has access to it,

apart from Comrade Krupitsa

It's called the Road to God

That's our transport service

I would have called it
the "Road to Evidence that there is no God"

That's an interesting thought

- Hello comrades
- These are our guests

I would like to introduce you
to our paper: The Institute News

This is our editor-in-chief, journalists,
make-up person and a photographer

This is Sidko,
Head of Personnel

I will briefly introduce our guests

then there are a few more formalities

There is one more formality to
take care of, but it's very important

We'll have a chance to talk more later

Let's go to the office of the Deputy
Director for Order and Security

We need to sign a few agreements

Sure

One by one, who's first?

Shein can go first

In the meantime,
shall we sit down?

Of course, have a seat

I would like to introduce our guests

Dubosarsky,
a famous Soviet artist

Dubosarsky will draw a set of pictures
on life in the Institute

This year our Institute turns 15 years old

So on Comrade Krupitsa's invitation

and following an order from
the Ministry of Culture,

these series of drawings
will be completed

I, the undersigned,

hereby sign that

I hereby sign that

I am required not to disclose

- Not to disclose
- What?

Not to disclose

I am required not to disclose

Comma, top secret

and classified information

We try to work here professionally

All the journalists are great professionals
and individual people

We try to write not just dry information

We want it to be interesting and articulate

Professional information

We want it to be interesting to read
for all our employees,

as well as the elite scientists,

including about what they're doing

because it's their creative portrait

we're showing through our writing

We're also trying to illustrate it too,
we have photojournalists here

We try to make our paper look appealing,

so it's pleasant to pick up and
interesting to read

From the first article to the last,

from the front page
to the back

We want it be interesting to know
what's happening in Moscow theatres,

cinemas and art exhibitions,

and what's going on in the world

We also understand that

the conditions are not easy after the war

With Comrade Stalin's help,
we raised the country from devastation

Now we're heading in the right direction

towards our bright socialist future

All together our scientists and colleagues

do a lot for this country,

for its defence and agriculture too

So we have a huge responsibility

the press and information is
always a huge responsibility,

be it in word, image or film

It's very important that everything
is correct and precise

We're trying to work in this direction

We work on ourselves
as well, creatively

We look through the press and classics

such as the works of Marxism and Leninism

We study the works of comrades
Stalin and Lenin

This is how we work

We wanted to make a few pictures
and an interview

We don't have enough light here,
so I'll move this lamp here

- Does this bother you?
- No

We had this guest here before,

a photographer for the state press agency

We spoke about how if the
lighting isn't great,

a shot can be used
as a documentary and staged

- Is this going in the next issue?
- Yes

That will be nice

I will tell you when to be ready

It would be nice to have one
in the yard of the Institute

Yes, we would like to do one there as well

It's very beautiful there and it would
be nice to make use of that

Take some shots for memory

- It's already night time unfortunately
- Unfortunately, yes

- Have you taken it yet?
- Not yet, I will now

We've been travelling for a long time

You have to for just a moment

Yes, freeze please for a moment.
Look into the camera

Our photographer is also a very talented man

It seems your work is crossing over

with our photography work

- That's true
- Yes

We're trying to make it not only informative,

but so that it captures the moment

and portrays one's soul,
eyes and heart

We want to show the profession as well,

as in a portrait photo or any other

So the next generation understands everything

Can you swap places?

- If possible, yes
- With pleasure

Come in, we'll take another

The road was long and wore us out a bit

- Hello
- Please, have a seat

- What's your surname?
- Dubosarsky

Dubosarsky, Dubosarsky

Let's find you

Take the pen, please

and we will write the agreement

I would like to warn you right now

that everything you learn here

during your tour of the Institute

must die here

Maybe clean the nib

The text is long, so write in
small letters

- Take this pen
- It doesn't write well

Don't press down too hard,
it will come out neater that way

Signed acknowledgement

It's a bit awkward,
we came to film you,

but instead, you're filming us

- You're our guest
- So we have to look after you

- Yes
- Pay attention

- That's great. Now, two of you
- Of course

Let's do one with your newspaper,
I think that would be good

- Like we are studying your work...
- Let me check what issue is that

Sit down here, Vladimir.
Let me direct it a bit

- Please, sit
- It's me then

Can you see it well?

Let's turn it like this, so the name
is on show. Take it

Unfortunately I am long-sighted

When I drove a car, it's fine

but I have to wear them
when I read the paper

That's good

"Festive gifts for soldiers
at the front." Yes

We can't see the paper

Can't see it? Right

Yes, like this. That's great

- Can you see me well?
- Of course

Just freeze for a moment

Attention

Perfect

- One more?
- Yes, let's. Just in case

We can do one for memory,
without a newspaper

- No, let's have the paper!
- The paper is good!

A backup shot

Wrap it around like that

The work which is to be performed

I am familiar with

Have you written it yet?

"I am familiar with"

New line:
The legal responsibility

for the disclosure of information

consisting of government
and military secrets

One moment

"Regarding the disclosure
of information"

Consisting of

- Consisting of?
- Governmental and military secrets

Military secrets?

Comma, and loss of documents

Equipment

Technical equipment and weaponry

I have been warned

Write your surname clearly

Now put your surname here

and your initials

This is a very interesting question

We filmed in the rear where
life was carrying on

We would go wherever
the studio sent us

But most of the time
we were at the front line

When you have a camera in your hands,

you zoom in and take away
anything that's irrelevant

You find yourself at the heart of events

- Good day
- Hello

- Vodolagyn
- Have a seat, please

Thank you

We have to write an agreement now

- Right
- A non disclosure agreement

The work of the Institute is a secret

You will learn a lot of new and interesting,

- including governmental secrets
- Sure

You should store it here,
don't share it with anyone

Not your impressions or
opinions, not with anyone

- I see
- Go ahead. Do you have your own pen?

Yes, they gave me a good pen

Great. Let's close this ink well then

Here it is: Signed acknowledgement

Alright, signed agreement

- I, the undersigned...
- Like this?

My job as a documentary filmmaker
is to love the characters

Understand them and open them up.
I should go from them,

not from myself as the artist

and impose my creative view
on a given situation

But rather to feel the life situation
as an artist

and pass it to you

with the same feeling and emotion,

which I put into it and which
I want to give to you

My aim in my work with you

is not to swap myself -

with my desires or attempts as a director -

and represent your Institute
through my imagination

But rather to feel your atmosphere;

to notice small details such as
your hands, ink or notepads;

to look into the essence of what you do

and capture this atmosphere

So I can love it, feel
it and gently communicate it

That sums up my profession

as a documentary filmmaker

- If possible, two more photos
- Of course

Separately

Stand there behind, that'll look good

No, Dubosarsky first

- We've already taken one there
- Have you?

That was my first one

You can even stand up as a pair

And I'll sit in the middle, or what?

No, Dubosarsky sit down.
You're the older comrade

Wonderful, great composition

You can ask questions in the meantime

- Vodolagin
- Yes?

Our fates have almost intertwined

I also took part in the defense of Moscow

I was injured and sent to the Institute

after my injury in 1942

Also, in 1930, the Party sent me

to the Institute of National Economy
before calling me back

The Party then sent me to a legal
institute, where I graduated

I was also wounded and decorated,

just as you

So the destinies of everyone in
our generation are intertwined

Our generation went through it all:

the Civil War and the Great Patriotic War

We survived

This is very well portrayed in your paper

I have recognised many familiar
surnames in there

- Hold for second
- Just a second please, look here

Right here, right here

Thank you very much

I hope we will work together again

- Thank you very much, goodbye
- Thank you

- Thank you
- It was nice to meet you

- I think we'll work together again
- Thank you

Goodbye, nice meeting you

Comrades, hello

- Hello
- Hello

Hello, Blinov

I would like to introduce you, this is Blinov

Head of the Experimental
Department at the Institute

This is Semenych,

Head of the Quantum Theory
Laboratory in the Theoretical Department

Here you can see a vortex

A tornado

A tornado

No, a tornado is found in the atmosphere

This is called a vortex

Is something spinning it from the bottom?

Of course

Through mechanical action,

we get a certain movement in the water

And what is it?

What do you mean?

What's the secret?

- Why does it happen?
- Yes

To change the water structure

so later we can study

how much the water's energy
capacity has changed

From a theoretical point of view,

the phenomenon of turbulence we observe here

still doesn't have

a complete theoretical model

People don't really understand
what is happening

in particular, the macroscopic
process of the water's movement

causes the water to spin

on all levels,
right up to the molecular level

and what is actually happening
during this time,

honestly

theoretical science doesn't know

There is no complete theory of turbulence

So any experiment involving turbulence,

we have to take seriously

Shein, allow me to explain

This is an ordinary photo laboratory

but it has a very extraordinary part

So if you just turn around

and pay attention to this unusual object

This is a device for taking
aura photographs

And how does theoretical physics
react to the experiment?

Theoretical physics... Let me say that

Theoretical physics doesn't really
understand the phenomena of life

As you know, according to the
second law of thermodynamics

the system must descend into chaos

But it would appear life is...

- Ordered
- Yes

There's organisation and a
formal contradiction

Right now, people don't understand
the phenomena of life

If we get bonuses here,

good ones

After we've made the film

It has to be good

I wanted to ask if there were
any shops around here

We have a canteen

What if a person needs some fancy goods

or food or something?

How does it happen? Is it all provided for?

Yes, of course

Let's say this is a neutron
and a hole around it

and a hole has appeared around it

A Descartes vacuum is formed,
you see this vessel here

We have a neutron on one side

and elementary volume on the other

It's the same Descartes vessel

only formed by quanta

Now look

The Descartes vessel collapses

as the elementary volumes try

to close this hole with their bodies

Therefore all the elementary particles

move towards the hole

I'm sure that

wherever particles decay,
holes are formed

But there's no decay in your experiments

But there is acceleration

Let me give you my opinion

We've been listening to you patiently

You promised us a quantitative theory

- Do you have it?
- I do

Write out its formula, please

- Look...
- The formula, please

Just a minute

If two points emit holes,
a force forms between them

Wait, Newton had mass there

This has nothing in common
with Newton's formula

Wait

But the denominator has the
same term. Tell me please

Does your formula contradict
Newton's theory?

- Does it agree with it?
- They are in perfect agreement

Hold on

Forgive me, but Newton had mass
in the numerator

That's a mistake

Newtons?

Thank you

Have a rest

- We'll have a think
- Alright

I actually have a friend

Rasun Irchukovich is his name

He is from Karachay-Cherkessia

- And...
- That's an autonomous republic, right?

He has a son, a really
wonderful boy

A mathematician

He is 7 years old

and he hung a blackboard
up by his bed

he wakes up at night and
writes something

whatever formulas come
into his head

and then he goes back to sleep

In the morning he
analyses it

He looks it over with his father

- So at night, he has these...
- We'll have to bring him here

- He is still small
- He needs to develop

He is developing, he's working

He wins all school contests

We're going to see the barber shop now

You wanted to know how we
sort out day-to-day issues

- Wonderful
- Good evening

It's a good number 2145

- Lucky
- It is

Hello, can we come in?

- Where now?
- To the hairdresser's

- Hello
- It's still open

Of course, it's still open

Careful

- We have all the latest tools
- I see

from worldwide industry:
we have hair dryers

This here is a brand-new
movable hair dryer

We also have a perming device

- It's been brought from abroad
- Right

Like a trophy

I think Russian factories will
soon be releasing these

Our girls all have hair styles

which hold on for a long time

So they have more time

for scientific work

May I try out the male cologne?

- Well, we have...
- I'm joking, thank you

- Thank you
- Thank you very much

- Good luck
- We'll be happy to see you

Thank you, goodbye

What are we doing today?

Just a bit because my hair
is short anyway

A bit on the sides

Not too short?

Not too short

Here's a courgette.
Careful

You're sliding down

Don't mess around

You're still chewing your
meat. I can see it

Meat here, meat there

Meat there too.
Eat it all up

Swallow it
and show me your mouth

Swallow it and show me your mouth

I still see
meat in there

I have meat in my mouth too

- I have
- Me too

Is there a spare key?

They do

Who has the keys?

Ministry of State Security

Which room
does Leshan live in?

Are you relatives?

No, neighbours

Stay here and don't move until
we finish the search

Ministry of State Security

Get up

- Leshan?
- Yes

You're under arrest

Get dressed

Put your trousers on

Who else is here?

- There's no one
- No one?

Igor, start the search

- Right, witnesses?
- The witnesses are here

Come with us, please

You'll be present
during the search

Hurry up and get dressed

Leshan, get dressed quicker

Leshan, sit down

What's all this?

It's for the mosquitoes,

I can't sleep because of the mosquitoes

- Does it help?
- A little, yes

Pack some underwear

Very well

What's that?

The keys

Put it on record

Chuck it

Reading German authors?

These are not my books

Whose are they?

They're just kept there,
I haven't even read them

Stand up

I don't even know German
so I can't even read them

Where do I sign?

Leshan, come here

Get ready. Gather
your personal belongings

And hurry up

That's enough, put your coat on

Here, surname and signature

Take the towel.
It'll come in handy

Wait a moment

Wait, can we seal the room?

We need to seal the room

- Or do the neighbours live there?
- Yes

- Alright
- Shall I turn off the light?

Yes, turn off the light

We've been informed
that Comrade Leshan

confessed to espionage

and planning acts
of terrorism at the Institute

From the moment when
citizen Leshan appeared among us

the laboratory always had questions

about to his so-called scientific theories

He could never explain what
he was doing

in the special lab entrusted to him

and built with the money of
workers and peasants

or what he was using the
Institute's equipment for

and what he spent state funds on

He couldn't even explain
it to the Academic Council

or in the numerous talks he
had, not only with me

but with other Institute
employees as well

When offered help,

he reacted in an inappropriate
and unfriendly way

He behaved like a man of property
and an individualist

and proved himself not to be a comrade

While we work with energy

from burning carbon hydrate,

it's better not to go to space

It will be completely ineffective

I suggest

developing the human race, until

the rocket flights will be more common

Semenych, sounds like cosmopolitanism to me

Cosmopolitanism has nothing to do with it

Flying to space is still a
childish fascination,

which we haven't matured
enough for yet

Is that also measured in horsepower?

What is?

Everything can be measured
in horsepower, if needed

I'm just wondering how many
little horses you'd require

You'd need really large
horses for rocket flight

You can have tiny ones,
but a lot of them

I'd put it this way: who's doing it now...

Ponies?

- Even smaller
- No, just really small ones

That's not right

Here's a reasonable approach:

It would be reasonable to build a tower
and have a magnetic lift

I want to say that humankind

can't live without space exploration

I'm trying to explain one thought,

which is very unpopular

And this thought...

I didn't read about tiny
horses in Alexey Tolstoy

but in another forgotten,
unknown author

There all these little horses,

as many as you could wish for

As the Academic Secretary of the Institute,
I would like to raise a toast

to the bond between Soviet
scientists and Soviet artists

in the wide understanding of this word

I think it's very important

that lately these links are getting stronger

Various groups of artists
often visit the Institute

And I hope that Comrade Shein and
Comrade Dubosarsky

will reflect this great experience
of cooperation in their work

I hope your bond will only get stronger

and deeper

Also, I obviously can't say
this toast without

mentioning Comrade Stalin

who allowed this Institute
to exist,

work and conduct research

So, to our bond,
to Comrade Stalin and to our Institute

Hooray

- To Stalin
- To Comrade Stalin

This chamber is for checking
Kazimir's effect

It's in working order,

the installation is basically complete

But the experiments are just at the start

We will switch on the magnets in impulse mode

The perfect mode is when

the operating times
of all the electromagnets -

or rather, the whole
system of electromagnets

or the shells of electromagnets -

which should work...

Each shell should be synchronised

So

the ideal operating time of each shell

equals the time
it takes for

the magnetic field
to reach the centre of our device

You know that

the lack of a
magnetic monopole

in a field created
by electric currents

follows Maxwell's equations?

What you're saying is

a flat contradiction of these equations

If you spot any contradictions
feel free to tell me

I don't see any

I think our comrade
should at least

acquaint himself with
modern physics

I have nothing against
theoretical calculations

But my goal was
different this time

He should have shown us
a formula or graph

If you can't show a graph

He drew a graph,
but anyone could do that

No, from time to time...

All right, I'll say this:
experimental physicists

never draw
graphs like that

unless they're lunatics
or conmen

There's nothing
to discuss here

Nothing at all

Ministry of State Security

Do you have a warrant?

We've got everything

Who do you live with?

Go back to sleep

Have you got a warrant?

Go back to sleep

Go ahead

Turn on the light

What's your name?

Chernobrov

Stand next to the bed

Chernoborov?

Here's a warrant
for your arrest

Confiscate these

Confiscate the journal

Everything has to be confiscated

Are those your documents?

Yes

Write your surname
and sign

Your signature

Stay here

We'll all be taken away,
what can we do comrades?

We'll all die in the end

Eventually each of us will be taken
What can we do now?

- You see
- Is that what you're waiting for?

It's like the plague
in the Middle Ages. So what?

Everyone knew
they'd die soon enough

There's nothing we can do

We're all waiting.
It's nothing new

And we're sitting here with terrified faces,

as if we found out yesterday

As if we live on
another planet

I don't know what strength of nerve
you have

What do you mean?
I have no nerves left

Can you see any nerves here?

Relatively, it won't be so bad
for them, I hope

We are scientists

And

we are at one with our country

And

we also forge weapons.
Our weapon is truth

Our weapon is powerful too

That's why I think

that

if your work doesn't lead
to a scientific truth

then it's a crime

and it should be punished
under wartime law

That's why

Comrade Chernobrov's
incompetence

is a crime

We must condemn this crime

We should also make
a separate statement

A resolution
on behalf of all our scientists

To state that we
understand everything

and we'll fight

to make sure

that it never happens again

Why are there so many glasses?

What do you get up to here, comrades?

What's down there?

We have guests sometimes

Put everything on top of the safe please

Move this telephone,
we only care about the documentation

Shall we go through them one-by-one?

Sure

Here's the documentation

Today's information is different
from yesterday

Yesterday the graphs were blank

They weren't blank,
they simply weren't filled in

How's a blank graph any different?

Since we have two labs

How come are they filled in now?

Yesterday you were asked
not touch anything

Not to write and not to add anything

- Is this yours?
- Yes

Blinov can tell us who was on work trips

- This doesn't concern him, but you
- Right

Who filled it in? What for?

Comrade Blinov

Why aren't you relaxing at home?

We've been called

Go ahead then

No one needs to introduce

our good friend and colleague Nekrasov

Our reason for gathering here is delightful

I suggest that Dima continues
with the toast

He can explain everything

but I'd like to say that

I've never met a more wonderful
colleague than Nekrasov

I suggest you all think

What do you mean, Samson?

Not the meaning of life, we'll
think about that later

Now I suggest you think about

how lucky we are in our work
and personal life

when our friend is also our colleague

I propose a toast
to the birthday boy Nekrasov

- Nekrasov!
- Nekrasov!

I'd like to add to this toast

We're all drinking and the birthday
boy is cutting the chicken!

We can always rely
on him in the hard times,

and the happy times in our lives

To your health

Dear comrades

Dear birthday boy, Comrade Nekrasov

I wrote some lines of poetry for you today

I hope they are worthy
of our birthday boy today

Our dear Comrade Nekrasov

Happy birthday
to you

May your multitude of talents

increase with inspiration

During these hard times

We're following the right path

Everything that's possible and impossible

we will construct and invent

So that our Soviet nation grows every day

Our scientists will do anything

and keep their loyalty to our Party

Dear Comrade Nekrasov

There are discoveries waiting for you

Your whole path is open before you

You're always welcome
in our Institute

Bottoms up

Bottoms up

- Maybe some Armenian cognac?
- Champagne

Or some lemonade?

Let's say it took place in Korea

where combat operations are going ahead

When an American prisoner was captured

Some of our comrades were
sent to interrogate him

The comrades

ask him a question

And they punch
him in his stomach

He says

The comrades are
not pleased

and they punch him in the face

They ask

The crying prisoner says

The really annoyed comrade says

I'm asking you, scumbag,
Where the hell are your tanks!?

Let's drink to theoretical
physics

On an evening like this, I would like to

to share this great happiness

of being the part of this wonderful family

in our Institute

where it's so pleasant to live and work

and to enjoy life and work

To all of you, my dear friends,
thank you very much

Hooray!
Hooray!

I would like to read to you

a decree of the presidium
of the supreme Soviet Union

about amnesty

As a result of the consolidation of the
Soviet social and state system,

improving the welfare of the
cultural level of the population

growth of the responsibility of citizens

their honest attitude towards
the fulfilment of their public duties

strengthened the legitimacy
and the socialist order

and a decrease in criminal rate

The presidium of the supreme
council of the USSR

thinks that in these conditions

there is no need

to further imprison people

who committed a crime

but do not pose a great
danger to the state

and in their attitude to work they prove

that they can go back to
an honest, working life

and become productive members of society

Here you have to understand that

for the first time in its history,
the Soviet government

has taken upon itself the responsibility

and has released

a large amount of criminals

Although these people are
completely different,

but the Soviet government sees in them

people who are able to

re-educate themselves

Alongside people who have actually
corrected themselves,

a certain number of people
will be released

who have been set free by mistake

All of the colleagues

at the Institute have

at least some indirect ties

to people who have been
condemned, not only

those who were victims
of judicial errors

and

I would merely like to
express the hope that

from this moment on there will be

a systematic

re-examination

A systematic analysis, so to
say, of the legal system

The main principle

of our ideology

is attention to the human being

Not to the human being as an abstract idea

but to specific people

who built Communism

who are geared towards Communism and
useful work for the benefit of society

And

that

The step our Party is making
is risky, of course

but the Party has evaluated
the situation and made this decision

And regardless of the risks
that have been

voiced, of course we need
to take them into account as well,

Regardless of the inevitable incidents,

while having such
enormous and large-scale

amnesty

I am very glad fundamentally that such
a decision was made and

it has been decided
that the time has come

I would like to speak not so
much about vigilance, but

the humanism that our
Communist Party has shown

and I think we need
to pay attention to this

and we should respond to
this breakthrough

I think that the Communist
Party is showing an example

that we should trust each other more

and we should correspond

This means that we should, of course

be strict

with the various negative things
that we sometimes see

But treat them with humanism

as the Communist Party shows us,

it is the one in command

and shows us the direction to follow

Semenych, is this
your vest here?

Yes

Take off your jacket and
put on your vest, it'll feel good and light

And warm. What do you think?

We have to take it
to our room anyway

Yes

My vest

It's hot, right Semenych?

Fine

Help me, please

With your jacket?
Give it here

No, let's hang it here,
you won't forget it then

I will

Shall we put it
in our room?

When do you think debauchery
came to the Roman Empire?

Together with Elagabalus

No, when they stopped
diluting wine with water

They always drank wine with water

- They stopped...
- Barbarians

They saw everyone
as barbarians

From at least the
6th century BC

they saw any
neighbours as barbarians

Those who drank
undiluted wine

It's as if Blinov

were to say to me,
"You're drinking..."

Or no, if I
said to Blinov

"Blinov, you're drinking 40 per cent
alcohol and I'm drinking 12 per cent

That means you're
a barbarian"

A complete barbarian

But I'm not
saying that

That will allow me
to sink my teeth

Don't consider me
a bloody tyrant

It's a shame
they didn't have beer

They did,
and plenty of it

Beer has always existed

The Egyptians had beer,
we don't have any

The Egyptians had it,
but we don't

In the 17th century the English
drank beer, and not water

Even small children

Water was hardly drunk anywhere
in Europe in the Middle Ages

It carried the plague

Cholera, not the plague

The plague doesn't
spread via water

Choleric

Dasha, don't fuss

Why exactly?

Have you seen
any matches?

You love Tchaikovsky,
don't you?

Of course

Traditionally, the man
plays

When lovers are together

the man should
play the guitar

You're right

But we do it
the Japanese way

What do you mean?

There, it's the
woman who plays

No, we do it
the Soviet way

It's always me: while being
fucked, I'm also playing

What? Yes

Semenych

The Soviet state gave you an education,

a good job,

a woman you love

and here you are, deceiving it

I'm grateful to the Soviet state

for all it's given me

and I've never deceived it

Why are you hiding
your background?

I've never tried to
hide my Jewish origins

But it says here: "Russian"

The document says "Russian"

It's written in your own handwriting

We won't get anywhere this way

So

You go on about humanism,
everything's nice and quiet

Turn the other cheek

Right?

The directive talked about it

About what?

About humanism. I haven't
made anything up

You're always banging on
about your fucking humanism

Nothing is good enough for you,

you always want something different

You want everything nicer, smoother

You can't have it that
way. You just can't

What's going
on between you and your wife?

- Nothing
- What do you mean, nothing?

She's a student, isn't she?

How is it possible that she

managed to get
a job at the Institute

as a junior researcher, without a
university degree?

She's been involved in hands-on
research for a long time

Staff regulations state you can't do this job

without higher education

Could you explain what happened?

There was an agreement

With whom?

There was an agreement

Isn't the law the same for everyone?

It is

I think you're confused

Simply confused

You're a weak person
by nature

You need protection

There's no one at the Institute

who's able to protect you, except us

No one cares about you

You have no value as a person

As a scientist yes

Look at what your country gave you

Did it give you the Order
of the Red Banner of Labour?

Yes

The Order of Lenin?

Yes

Higher education?

Yes

The Stalin Prize?

Shouldn't you give something back?

Let's summarise

You help us in our activities

We in return help you

We protect you

become your patrons and stand by you

Deal?

I have never...

Is it a deal or not?

Yes or no?

What will be...

Your responsibilities?

Yes

When something comes to your knowledge,

inform us

When you learn that

an enemy is plotting something,

inform us

We'll give you a specific task

Your task will be specific

We'll give you a set task for each person

Apart from your academic research,

you'll provide additional help

- That's the idea
- Secret help

No one will know about it, of course

Two people will know about it, us

It will stay in this office

It will help you in the future

Who knows what turn
your life might take?

Yes or no?

No

No?

Alright then

Sorry

Don't apologise, that's the way it is

It's your choice

Pavel, let's do it differently

If he doesn't want to sign this,

let him sign the
non-disclosure agreement

Non-disclosure agreement of state secrets

Of course

He'll sign it.
Have you got the form?

Here's the text

Here

write your full name

Leave the lines where I showed you

Copy it out up to here

Then sign it, with your surname and date

Shall I read it out for you?

It's alright

This conversation

is a state secret, of course

It must not be disclosed as well

He's an intriguing man

One minute he's being soft

Taking things carefully

The next minute
he refuses

"I can't, I don't want to, I won't"

"My country has entrusted me

with an important job

It awarded me prizes

Did it give me titles
and medals? It did

But I won't help it,
I don't want to"

That's his Jewish nature speaking

Careful, don't ruin my pen

What's this here?

"USR"? It's spelt with two S's

Heart problems?
Why are you breathing like that?

I'm a bit tired

Why?

Tired of watching non-stop
drinking sessions at home?

You don't drink yourself

Why do they drink all the time?

Work is tough, they have to relax

And you?

I relax a little too

Of course

You can't expect a
cosmopolitan to relax a lot

Put the pen down,
stand up

Face the wall

Hands on the wall

Fuck knows what he's got on him

Are you going to cooperate?

Answer me, you son of a bitch!

Answer me

No?

No?

No

Repeat that

No

I'm counting to three

Fucking bitch

Answer me, you son of a bitch

No

Look at the son of
a bitch. Fucking Jewish mug

Shall I give him one in the liver?

No, don't cry

Everything alright?

Don't cry

Look, he is smooth

Look how he's standing

Nice and smooth, good boy

They'll like him in the cells

Are you going to cooperate?

I'm asking you again

No

No

Who was the biggest smart-arse
at the table yesterday?

Our little humanist

What did Pavel tell you?

He asked you what state
security is. What did you say?

"Yes, yes, yes"

"Yes"

You stupid cunt

Fucking Yid

I really want to hit,

crush him against the wall

That fucking directive. My hands are tied

No one will know

Sit down

Come on, sit down

Finish writing.
You're fucking disgusting

Semenych, that's enough. Calm down

I can't fucking read your writing

I can't understand a thing

Don't rush

Semenych, don't take it to heart

Maybe I overdid it

It's just stress

You think I find it easy?

I struggle too

Dear Semenych, we
aren't made for grief

You'll finish this

and go home

Wet your whistle

Grab your Dasha
by the arse

And you'll forget
all about it. Right?

Everything is good

What date is it today?

The fifteenth of the fourth

Here you go

Thank you

Semenych, tell me

is Dasha cheating on you?

I don't know

"I don't know"

"Don't know"

Shouldn't you know?

You're a big boy and you don't know shit

Off you go

Go, Semenych

We'll be friends

Goodbye

Will you manage on your own?

Yes, thank you

Go on

Everything will be alright

How are you, my dear friend?

Come here

We had a little talk

And?

I signed a non-disclosure agreement

regarding military secrets

Well

Can I have a little drink please?

Of course

We're that kind of Institute

Take your boots off,
you'll muddy the floor

You'll be calmer soon

- Do you want some vodka?
- Yes

Watch you don't burn
your jacket again

Careful, there's
a cigarette under you

It's gone, sit down

Don't lie about on the floor

Have you drunk your vodka?

Have some more, Semenych

It's medicine

You need vodka

Maybe a hot shower

We have problems with the hot water

I could have a cold shower

Shit, fucking vodka

What's this?

Have you spent your salary?

Dima, could you see my
husband for a minute?

One moment

Is it a coat?

No idea, I haven't unwrapped it yet

Feels like a coat

Maybe dresses?

Is it a cake?

Is it your favourite cake?

Where's Dima?

Dasha called him in to
talk with Semenych

Ira, please hold these

This is what I call love

Something soft

It's a fur coat

It's not just a fur coat

I want winter again

I couldn't object
to anything they said

They mocked me,
pushed me against the wall

They wanted to beat me up

They insulted and humiliated me

I'm just warning you

Letting you know

Furs have no effect on me

Though Olya does, of course

I've got a cold attitude to furs

but I understand they make people warm

They're warm indeed

What about their beauty?

Beauty

is inside and out

Stand on the table

It's not the fur that makes the person

but the person makes the fur

That's true

Olya and I have known
each other a long time

It really suits me, right?

It does

The red fox

Would you be excited
about a new carburetor?

There'd be the same reaction

I think it might be
useful for housework

Dima

You're a real prince

Now kiss her too

It's my second face now

See what's happening?
This salami...

- You dropped all the salami?
- I did

There, eat it

Thanks

See, you picked it all out.
Specially for me

Eat it

I'll just make you another one

No, one's enough

If you want it later,
the salami will be waiting

- Where will we live?
- At my parents' place

In Zamoskvorechye.
You can commute here

That's a possibility, of course

Or rent a little corner
from someone, I don't know

You're gorgeous

- Fox
- What a fox

Yes

Beautiful

What a stunning coat

So nice

Beautiful

Let's drink to it

Not right now

Olya, don't be angry with me

I really like the coat

But I'm a bit tired now

Alright?

You see, it's all good

You can't put roses in alcohol

Why?

They'll suck out the water

So let them

They'll wither very quickly

You see

You know all about that

But what a fur coat

You see, everything's fine

There's nothing to be afraid of

As Dima explained

Your medicine

I wouldn't call it that

Go to bed, Semenych.
That's enough sitting around

You're right

That's enough

Enough is enough

Right

Look at all these crumbs

Pig

You're a pig Semenych

Semenych

Yes?

- How are you, my dear fellow?
- He's fucked up, Blinov

I'm talking to Semenych

- The door's shut, Blinov
- They called me

Dasha, I'm talking
to Semenych

And I object to that, Blinov.
The door was closed

- Dasha, Semenych is an adult
- Right now he's a sick child

He can speak for
himself, Dasha

I'm talking to Semenych,
leave us alone, Dasha

Semenych, please tell
Blinov what you think

Semenych, what happened?

They called me in

But Dasha, you wanted
me to say what I think

I want you to say
what I want you to say

Here and now

Do you understand?

I do

The main thing is not to be sad

Just hold on and
everything will be well

Thanks

- Dasha
- Good night, Blinov

Being a bitch isn't the
best human quality

- Good night, Blinov
- I really want you to know that

Being an overbearing prick
isn't the best quality either

- You're half my age, so behave yourself
- Goodbye, Blinov

I'm so glad you paid us a visit.
Good night

- Being a bitch isn't the best quality
- Good night

- Dasha, you're a bitch
- I'll bear that in mind. Goodbye

Go and tell him
to fuck himself

I'll leave unless you
do it right now

You go and say,
"Blinov, go fuck yourself"

Go and say it to him
right now. Got that?

Yes

Go now and say

"Blinov, go fuck yourself"

"Don't come in
when the door's closed"

Do it right now

I think you're right

Blinov

I'm listening, Semenych

Don't...

Have you forgotten the words?
Shall I write it down?

Semenych, if you want to
talk to me, you're most welcome

Blinov

Most welcome

Don't insult my wife

- Semenych
- Is that clear?

Make sure she behaves

Blinov, she was in her own room,
and you came in

Don't insult my wife

If I'm invited, I come

Semenych, you tell me,
and I'll go

Is that clear?

Semenych, if you want to
tell me something, go on

Did you tell him
to go fuck himself?

- In four letters?
- Literally?

Did you?

I didn't literally say "fuck himself"

So go and do it

Go and tell him
to fuck himself

Otherwise I'll tell you
to fuck yourself

That's your dichotomy

What did that idiot say?

Fuck, excuse me

Do you understand me?

I told him...

Do you understand me
or not?

Smashing his face...

No, we won't smash his face in now,
we'll tell him to go fuck himself

That's the stage we're at.
We have it all planned out

I did it another way

Do it the way I'm telling you

Right now

Why should I?

Because I'm asking, can
you do that for me?

Can you tell him
to go fuck himself?

In those exact words?

Yes, Semenych

"Blinov, go fuck yourself, and don't
ever enter a closed room again"

That's what I said, Dasha

No, say to him,
"Blinov, go fuck yourself"

"Please come and
apologise to my wife,

"And go fuck yourself."
Can you do that?

Can you or can't you?

Exactly like that?

Yes

I wouldn't want to

Then I'll get my things and leave,
right now. Nothing's keeping me here

I don't give a shit
about this science

I don't give a shit about this
Experiments Department. Understand?

Dasha, should I go?

No, I don't mind you,
don't mind you at all

May I say something?

Are you trying to teach a lesson
to Semenych or Blinov?

If you tell Blinov to go
fuck himself he won't care

- But for Semenych it's very hard
- Semenych

He needs to learn

I don't give a damn about Blinov,
but I have to live with this person

Does it have to
be done right now?

Yes

Yes, right now

It's just hard on him
right now

One thing after another

I think he'll cope

- Of course he will
- He usually manages

I need to be able to rely
on my husband at all times

So that Blinov can't stand
there and insult me like that

And so my husband can
protect me at all times

To me, that's important

Do you see my point of view?
Have I answered your question?

Semenych, understood?

I'll go and get my things

I'll resign from the Institute and
go and live with my parents

Unless you tell him
to go fuck himself

Dasha, Blinov's not there anymore

So he has to find him and
tell him to go fuck himself

I think he'll do his best

Blinov, can I speak to you
for a moment?

I want you to
apologise to Dasha

But of course,
let her come here

No, you must come
and say you're sorry

But she kicked me
out of the room, right?

I want you to come
and say sorry to her

Is she going to let
me into her room

or invite me, or what?
I don't know

I'm not going
to break in

You can say it loudly, Blinov,
I can hear you perfectly well

Dasha, I'm really sorry

It's over, Blinov,
I forgive you

Dasha, I can't hear you
very well, I'm deaf

- Can I take that from you?
- It's fine, Blinov

Pass me your cigarette

Why?

So I can light up

Of course,
hang on a second

So, Semenych?

Did you tell him to
go fuck himself?

In those exact words?

Yes. Did you?

- In those exact words?
- Have you done it or not?

I'm asking you
for the last time

Wait a second

I'm not waiting a second,
I've already asked you twice

Has he apologised to you?

It was part
of the contract

- You want the whole thing?
- The price is going up

Fuck his mood.
I need him to say sorry, now

What happened?

Blinov, I'm telling you,
you need to say sorry now

Come on, Blinov, say you're
a prick, and wrong

I'm a prick and
completely wrong

Be honest,
were you right?

Of course not

Honestly?

Honestly. How could
I be right?

He's lying. Be honest

- Honestly, I was a prick
- Very good, Blinov

Explain what you
were wrong about

About everything

Alright

Apology accepted

And your line,
Semenych

Blinov

Go fuck yourself

They've really fucked me off,
you know

Let's go to bed

Or do you feel like talking
with your colleagues?

No, I don't

Then let's go to bed

Where is Olya?

Upstairs?

And Dima?

Upstairs too?

Just went up

I don't like this, actually

This situation

I agree with you

Dasha isn't behaving herself

She's not nice to everyone here

Always interrupting

Always rude

Yes

She got what
was coming to her

We need to sort it out

Dasha, why do you allow yourself
to do these things?

Dasha

- I don't want to talk about it now
- Why do you?

Why do you talk to people
the way you do?

What makes you think
you have the right to do it?

Right now I'd like to talk
to my husband, in this room

Ira, I have a suggestion

I've already heard your
suggestion, Semenych

So what do you think of it?

Could Dasha answer
my question?

The only question
I care about

Why does Dasha allow
herself to behave like this?

I need nothing more from you

After that you can discuss
whatever you want

That's the question
I care about

Would you like to
talk about it now?

Yes, I would

And I don't want to, Ira.
It's our room

- Why do you talk to my husband like this?
- Ira, this room is...

This is a communal flat

Answer my question...

- No communal-living type hysteris please
- Ira this is our room

Can you answer my question
now? Then I'll leave your room

- No. No, I can't
- Why?

- And that's another question
- Why?

- Ira, that's it
- Why, Dasha?

No comment

Right now I don't want to

It's not like I'm asking you
some horrible kind of question

I'd like to talk to my
husband in our room now

And you are interrupting

We hardly have
any private problems here

The question I'm asking you

is absolutely elementary, Dasha

- Yes, you're asking me
- Why do you behave like this?

Ira, I have
a big favour to ask

Let's discuss this
more rationally

In a more structured way...

No, wait

When someone is being
rude to my husband

who deserves better, I think

He came to ask how you were.
You, personally

Why does Dasha interfere
and start being rude?

And then Blinov apologises
to her. What for?

That was my question

Why should Blinov
apologise to you?

- What for?
- Let's do a simple thing

For your own behaviour, Dasha?

Everyone has their
own private space

If you want to discuss it,
let's go to the living room

It's a better place
to have this chat

It's a communal flat, you're
not the only one living here

Let's go to the living room

You're right, Olya

That space really is
communal

Semenych, may I
have a word?

I'll pour you some tea

Dasha, come and join us

Come and join us here,
it concerns you too

Dasha, do you want to
come out here?

No, I just want
a word with you

Excuse me for a minute

Dasha, what's going on?

Please, Dasha

I can't

You don't have to do anything

I don't want you
to do it

Why not?

Because it was
an ultimatum

To drop everything now and go
sort out the problem

Dasha, let me
tell you this

I have no energy
to fight now

I understand

But a complaint
has been made

Well, we'll consider

We agreed that I'd go to
bed and you'd sit with me

I would, but certain
complaints have been raised

The complaints can wait

I really don't want to
have a fight with you now

I know

Me neither

Let's do something to make sure
we don't have a fight

Agreed

Have you got
any ideas?

I've got an idea.
Let's go to bed

Yes. I have no
other ideas anyway

- We can go somewhere. Would you like to?
- No

I don't want to go anywhere.
Let's go to bed

Let's go to bed

All this is making
me really sad

Does saying, "it comes
from the gauge theory"

mean there is a
point in the space

where we see it
as a gauge theory?

A two-dimensional
equivalent would be

a 2.2 conformal theory.
It's locally geometric

It comes from the
manifold. Am I right?

Absolutely Semenych.
That's next

X used to belong to this sum

M was an element of that space

R was an irreducible
representation

That was the representation
we had. That's where x sits

It's a superfield theory

It's a field on the variables x
defined locally on sigma

and on these four
anticommuting variables

How do you define it
in these terms?

The equivalent of
this correspondence?

Yes. What is it?

You want to think up the dualisation
for any integrable system?

You can put it
into words

but there's no better description
than manifold operators

There's Polishchuk-Rothstein

Wait, Semenych

- It's an important question
- Semenych knows the answer

We should tell him. If he'd
known he wouldn't have asked

Of course

I won't share the details of my
PhD with you, Semenych, sorry

Right, we need some plates, Olya

Cheese, sausage, sausage, cheese

It turned out well.

It was all wrong.
None of it was ever published

So what if it's wrong?

So nothing.
I'm happy with it

So what if it hasn't been published?

It's good it hasn't been published

What matters is, it came
out fine, right?

Look, tell me: do you respect
yourself as a scientist?

Be honest. Just say: I do

I try not to think in these terms,
otherwise I'd probably kill myself

Why?

No one reads me, Semenych

No one reads, bastards

People read him though

Whereas I write badly and
unclearly

That's not quite true

What, don't people read you?

Semenych wanted to object
about me writing well and clearly

I want to say something

What's the fucking difference?
If they read it, it must be clear

Alright then, they retell it.
There are people able to retell it

No, I was just lucky
to find a niche, so to speak

where some people are interested...

Listen, come off it. You're in a
leading position in that niche

- Sorry?
- You're in a leading position

- No
- Who is in the leading position then?

No one. There are no
leading positions here

Yes there are, because
there's a trademark

Look, but it's always...

It's Nekrasov's ABB this,
Nekrasov's ABB that...

It's important

ABB what?

I mean, certain stuff by Nekrasov
and certain other stuff by Nekrasov

Well, actually, you know

if you look at it from a different
angle you'll see that, really

different groups have worked on this

Yes

Nekrasov was just lucky

he got to put a little doodle
in there somewhere

In six different
places at the same time

It could have been called
Semenych-Nekrasov

- It could never have been Semenych
- Why?

Because Semenych has been
resisting that all his life

- I don't think he does anymore
- What?

- He doesn't anymore
- It's too late now

First, he still resists.
Just look at him

He does, yes he does

No, Semenych is hopeless

There's an article by Semenych,
ten years ahead of the rest

So what? Does anyone remember it?

Little rats, Semenych

Not a fucking thing.

Semenych,
where are you?

There you are

You merged into
the background

I just remembered how

it was our cat's birthday

- We gave her a mouse
- Yes

I brought it from the lab

Yes, and...

Did the cat
say "meow"?

It's not about the cat,
but the mouse

It ran away?

It was washing itself

Semenych still
can't forgive himself

Of course I can't

The mouse was in

a glass jar with a lid

The cat was
prowling around it

but the little mouse was
just washing itself

What did you do?

What did you do?

I couldn't wash
myself like that

Yes, but what
did you do?

Did you give the
mouse to the cat?

Of course, it was
the cat's birthday

As for the mouse, it was...

It was deathday

That proves that life
is stronger than death

I have a theory, Semenych,
that I wanted to ask you about

Is there any truth in this?

When everything is clear and calm,

you see your direct path,

and you know how it ends

- We all know how it ends
- Dasha, you are too smart

Keep silent, please

You are only nervous when
you don't see your path

That's what life is

If your path is direct,
it means death right away

As you see where it ends

Semenych, remind me
what Bryusov called us

Pan... something? What?

Not Mongoloid, but Pan-?

Pan-Slavism

No, Pan-

What else could it be?

It has something to do
with Pan-Turkic

You mean The Scythians?

That's Blok

Blok, of course

No, it was Bryusov

You mean his epigraph?

Yes

It goes, "Pan-Slavism,
though it sounds fierce

it's pleasing to my ear"

That's it

So it's Pan-Slavism

Pan-Slavism?

Yes

Then it goes

"Millions are you
and the hosts are we

And we shall war if
you want, take heed

Yes we are Scythians-
leafs of the Asian tree

Our slanted eyes glow
bright with greed"

[And before everything happened
I had a reaction...]

You've done
your job, Semenych

You've put in your two
pennyworth, you can go

There's a good little boy

You're going
to bed, aren't you?

Yes, why?

Tell me you
don't want to

Tell me you want to have
a fucking chat with Nekrasov

Why would
I say that?

- So I have to guess?
- Why?

We're not all
as perceptive as you

Say "I don't want to sleep"

Can you stamp your foot

and say "I don't
want to go to bed"?

"Fuck off. I want
a fucking chat with my Nekrasov"

Why are you
being confrontational?

I'm just off to bed,
calmly and quietly

Though when singing
I'm not a bass

I don't
discriminate by race

The language is familiar

- It's messed up
- Paul Robeson sings it

Do you know how much time I
spent on Paul Robeson Street?

How much I
fucking suffered there?

It's not me. It's your own...

Barges go along
the Mississippi

The barges go
all day long

The cotton has taken
away all our strength

The cotton has taken
away our peace

What's wrong?

Nothing

Why are you
standing there?

I'm thinking

About what? Life?

Yes

Have you come up
with anything?

No. Should I have?

I just assumed that
if you're thinking

then you might think
something up, that often happens

Of course

I'm just
taking it all in

Taking you in

Me?

It's those boundaries again

which you love
speaking about

Not quite, but fine

What?

I know you don't
like all this

Or rather, I know you
don't like me like this

No, Semenych,
I like you

What can I do?

I actually do want to
go to bed now. Really

Let's go to bed then

Because...

Why are you down, Semenych?

- I don't want another...
- What?

- You're upset, aren't you?
- Yes. I don't want another...

Why are you upset? You don't
want to argue with me?

- No, I don't. What's the point?
- Let's not then

Alright, Semenych, let's not
argue, let's go to bed

- Let's not argue
- Because what's the point?

- We can go and talk to Nekrasov
- What for?

So this is how I am

You may like it or you may not

Maybe, it's just a professional
thing you don't understand

But in theoretical physics it's important
to understand other worlds

The more you understand them,
the more you enrich yourself

When a person outlines his philosophy

I try to understand it

The same is in science. A person demonstrates
his world, and I accept it

- And I grasp these axioms, and then...
- Develop them?

- Yes, I develop these axioms
- That's why Nekrasov is an academician

- And you are a fucking shit
- There you go again

- You don't think there's such effect?
- No, I don't

- Some create new worlds, some develop them
- Developing other worlds

When will you write about
your tao theory?

As soon as I get down to it

Somebody else will do it.
You'll explain it...

I've already explained it

- ...so that they can easily understand
- Again

in theoretical physics it's important
to understand other people

- Yes, Semenych, I got it
- If I don't do it, it's bad

So. If the system
excludes love

We must
exclude it too

I'm quite simple

Nothing is simple

I'm trying to find
more ascetic things

than what's happening
behind our backs now

Fedya, we love
you too

We love you
so much

It's not about love.
Do you respect me?

Fedya, I've always
respected you

Do you fucking
respect me?

I do, I fucking respect
you, you cunt

There's no respect

No, there is respect,
there's just no cunt

I don't have the mentioned
equipment installed

Ministry of Internal Affairs

Please

Where's Nekrasov?

Which is his room?

He's away

When is he
expected back?

What was the
purpose of his trip?

Work

Is this a search or just an inspection?

We're taking a look at the room

He lived here

And no one lives here now?

Did he go far?

I don't actually know

He has a lot on and...

I don't have permission
to know where he's gone

Really?

Yes

You don't work together?

Sometimes we do

Are these are just his
personal things?

So there are no
documents here?

You don't know?

Bogdan, give us a hand

There's no need

What are you
doing here?

Just curious

Are you mad?

Get out of here

Get some rest

May I have
a glass of water?

May I have
a glass of water?

Here you are

There aren't any
other glasses

- Winelass or cup?
- A wineglass? How nice

Thank you

You're welcome

Have a good night

Good night, comrades

Good night

What happened?

What's the matter?

Could you leave so
we could talk?

I don't think
that's a good idea

Women always
understand each other

Dasha dear

Which of us
do you want to leave?

Look at me, please

Just for a second

Go away, Olya

Go away

I want to calm you
down with cold water

I'll just wash you

No

You'll feel better

Olya, I said no

Don't touch me,
get the fuck out of here

I want to help

Fuck off, you too

Is that what you want?
Give it here

Olya, please

Can't you see?

Can't you see
what's going on?

Calm down, Dasha

Don't touch me

Don't touch me

What are you doing?

- Don't touch me
- Don't go outside, please

If you want, we can
get dressed and go out

I can't. That's it

You must

Dasha dear, calm down

Calm down

Dasha, cool down.
Quiet

Quiet

Dasha, be quiet

Easy now, Dasha

Fuck

What is it?

What is it?

It's all fine

Yes, Olya,
it's all just great

Olya, can you leave?

Could you please leave?

Can you leave, Olya?

What do you
think you're doing?

- Let go of me
- What are you doing?

What the fuck do you
think you're doing?

I can see what
you're doing

Please don't

What? I was here
with you

What is it?

Save me

I'm here,
that's what I'm trying to do

Do you understand?
That's what I'm trying to do

I've only been trying
to save you

All I've been doing.
Dasha

Please, I'm right here

I'm saving you

Alright, we'll get dressed
and leave at once

- I'm going to dress you
- I can't

I'll dress you
and we'll leave

Take me away

Take me away

I am, Dasha

Why won't you
let go of me?

I'm trying
to dress you

No

How can I
get you out?

How?

How can I get
you out of here?

Take me away

- I'm trying to take you away
- Don't touch me

- I'm not touching you
- Take me away

- What do you want me to do?
- I can't. Take me away from here

- Take me away
- That's what I'm doing

- That's what I'm doing
- Don't touch anything

But I can't get you out of here
like this. Do you understand?

- No
- How do you want to do it?

- I can't
- Dasha dear, please

Don't touch me

- Take me away
- There, there

- Let go of me
- Dasha, I'm taking you away from here

- Do you understand?
- No. Don't touch me anymore

I'm not going to touch you
anymore, I'll just save you,

and won't touch
you anymore

All I want is to achieve
one thing, you see

I'll save you and won't touch
you if you don't want me to

Do you understand? Do you?

There you are

There. Please
count and check it

Of course

Count and
check it, please

I was watching
your hands

- You were?
- Yes

Goodbye, thank you

- Will you wait?
- Of course

Dima Kaledin

Please count it

It's in 20s
and 25s

Do you have
anything larger?

- No, they're all gone
- All gone? Fine

Alright then

Please count it carefully

Don't leave
until you do

Here is 2000

I only have these

And a few larger ones

Please count it.
There are 80 notes there

That's all I
have left
