Hello Vera.

Be careful with the iron.

Honey…

…she's going to
burn herself again.

Nobody's gonna burn themselves.

I'm keeping an eye on her.

Tell me…eh…

When's Vladimir coming?



One o’clock.

Have you told her yet?

Masha.

Wait, Masha!

Granny...

Today...

is the day you're moving out.

To the retirement home, Vera.

Vladimir is on his way...

…to help…

…bring your things there.

You want to write something?

“Don't let Vladimir drink”

My monster's stronger.

he's going to push
your robot off the table.

You're pretty strong,
aren't you?

Anton...

The ministry won't
approve the project

unless they get
a controlling stake.

They can shove their
controlling stake

up their collective arses.

The contracts
are already signed.

The contracts
can be easily unsigned.

Slava…

…this is a game.

We just have to make sure
we don’t blink first.

We have to make sure
we don't blink, and lose everything.

So now we need
bodyguards again?

It's just a precaution.

Stop fighting them.

Mind your own business. I'll
decide myself what to do.

When my son's in danger,
it's my business too.

Our son!
Ours!

He may not live with me
but he's my son too.

It's no laughing matter for one
of Russia's most popular comedians.

Messages of support have been
flooding in…

from the government and
the world of film and TV

where the actor has worked
for over 30 years.

There's no way around it.

You need a second operation.

If I don't have the operation...

How long will I have left?

How many months?

How many weeks?

Don't stay long.

He shouldn't even
be having visitors.

Your mother's with him already.

In there.

Thanks.

Listen to me.

I need a drink.

And I don't care
what the doctors say!

For once in your life…

…can you just listen
to the voice of reason?

Just once!

Hi.

Ilya!

Oh my god, my boy!

Where have you been?

Three months.

The prodigal son...

…returns to see…

…his father wither away.

Stop, Valery.

Where have you been?

I've been here, in Moscow.

What..

Was it too hard
to pick up the phone?

While you've been
lazing around,

boozing and doing nothing,

your mother's been worried
sick about you!

She's just as
worried about you!

About me?

She's more worried about me!

But…

I've only got a few weeks
left to worry her!

You've got your whole life!

What do you mean,
"a few weeks"?

Mom, what's he saying?

Mom?

Katia, That’s great. Thanks.

See you tonight.

Come on,
I'll walk you out.

Slava, They're just
messing around

and trying to hustle us
for more money.

It'll be business as usual.

We get government funding.
They get a kickback.

I've worked with them
for ten years...

And we’ve always
come to an agreement.

How was everything?

Fine. There was a problem
with the sound.

No. Any talk of police raids
or tax investigations…

…is just an idle threat.

Yeah, It’s part of their game.

It doesn’t frighten me.

Their speakers are terrible.

Slava.

We're not backing down.

What's this?

Footage from the rehearsal.

Check it out when
you have a minute.

I'd rather check you
out in real life.

What's wrong?

It's just that the
acoustics are awful.

You know it wasn't easy

to get you this gig.

I know.

Sorry.

There's no need to apologise.

- Yes, we agree to their terms…
- Young man!

- Sign all the documents…
- Where are you going?

…and bring them to the office.

Katya.

Katya, are you there?

Katya, I know you're there.
You can hear me.

Katya, I need you
now more than ever.

And I don't believe
you’ve stopped loving me

just because you
met some rich guy.

Katya, I need you.

Are you listening?

Katya

You can't just pretend
I never existed.

Valery Fyodorovich,
where are you going?

Valery Fyodorovich,
you're not allowed to leave!

You should be in your bed.

I should be in the nearest bar.

Get your hands off me!

Valery!

Look who's on fighting form!

Excuse us.

- Hi.
- Hi, Lets go.

They've fixed you up quickly.

I wish they’d fix me
up with a drink.

Where's Natasha?

Natasha’s gone.

You’ve managed to
avoid each other again.

Years of practice,
my darling.

In here?

Tell me.

Why are they all here?

Waiting for me to die.

No they're here
to support you.

The nation wants
you to survive.

The nation wants a show.

My jokes aren’t enough anymore.
Now they want to see my coffin.

Valery, don't say that.

What are we going
to do with you?

We'll do what
we always do.

On weekends,
I'll be with you,

and during the week,
I'll stay with Natasha,

and think about you
all the time.

Listen, Honey…

can you bring me something
a bit stronger next time?

No way.

I need you to stay alive.

Valery, what did
the doctor say?

He said...

that my arteries are blocked.

…and I need to drink...

... more cognac…

…to reduce my stress levels.

Is he not too old for you?

Let me see.

Stop! Give it back!

Have you both gone crazy?

What are you
fighting about again?

Lera's got a boyfriend.

Shut up!
He's not my boyfriend.

Stop bullying the child.

Leave me alone! I don't
take orders from you!

MOSCOW CITY DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE

Happy City Day,
Anton Nikolaevich!

You too.

You've lost weight.

Suffering from stress?

Exercise.

Running?

Karate.

I hope it’ll help.

As of today, the survey for
the district development…

has concluded.

Completion of the
project's second phase

now depends on
governmental provision

of electricity, water works,
sewage and the new…

Stop.

…metro station.

Did you give him
our offer?

Yes

Your offer -
is not an offer.

We’d be very happy
to discuss

..the standard terms...

…for obtaining
government support.

Government support
has been approved.

We are now the
majority shareholder

Remaining contracts will
be signed within a week.

You can't do that
without my permission.

It's already done.

After this meeting

Our offer for your
shareholding will expire.

Anton.

Just sign it

and avoid more problems
for yourself.

So, you think you can just

steal the project
from us that easily?

I'm stealing nothing from you.

Because you don’t own anything

My contracts are signed.

I control the project.

You don’t control anything,
Anton.

And neither do I.

Orders come down from above

Just as they’ve always done

You don't like it,

go live in London.

Good people.

Go fuck yourselves.

Slava.

Dmitri

I'm at the epicentre

of this year's Moscow
City Day celebrations.

Throughout the day

over a thousand events
will be taking place

Luba

Why is there no food?

Because there's no money.

If there's no money,
go get a job.

Here.

I'm going to Stepan's

to help move Granny out.

Get some food and
drinks for tonight.

So we're having a party?
At what time?

At seven.

Cool. Who's coming?

What difference is it to you?

You better be
out of here by then.

And take the
other one with you.

No chance.

Why not, girls?
It's Moscow City Day!

Go out and have some fun.

With that wet blanket!?

She doesn't even speak!

Lera,

Do you want to go out
and celebrate City Day?

Take her to a nightclub!

She's too young
for nightclubs.

Take her to Paparazzi's!

Dad, What the hell!?
I'm not taking her anywhere!

She's a loser!

Piss off.

Shut up, donkey!

Are you fucking nuts?!

what the hell?!

Girls! Stop!

Stop! Calm down!

What the hell?!

Stop fighting!

I said stop fighting!

Get out of here!

Tell her to stay in her room.

I'm sick to death
of the two of you.

Brainless and useless,

both of you!

Darling...

Lera...

...if you just ignored her…

…things would be easier.

Things would be easier

if you hadn't
married that idiot!

I want to live
with my real father.

You may not remember,

but your real father
wasn't much better.

I don't believe you.

Lera,

he abandoned us.

He left us with nothing.

We'd be better off
on the streets.

No we wouldn't.

But you're doing your
best to bring that about.

Hello Vladimir Ivanovich.

All set to go?

Not quite, as you can see.

What's all this?

Is she bringing
it all with her?

Yeah...

as long as there's
enough space.

What will you do
with the piano?

Nothing.

She hasn't played
it in 10 years.

Pity.

She used to be
a great pianist.

Maybe you'll take it up?

That's unlikely.

Why?

Are those video games going
to use up all your energy?

Hello.

Hello.

... while you've been
lying on that couch…

…she's been cooking
and cleaning for you...

...you never even
gave her a bath.

Let's have a drink.

I'm not in the mood
for celebrating.

We're not celebrating.

We're marking an occasion.

For good or for ill...

…a new chapter in our lives…

…should always be marked.

Don't let Vladimir drink.

Her handwriting's gone to pot.

This one’s for you.

Why?

For taking care
of your granny.

Masha thinks I neglected her.

You did much more for her…

…than I could have done

or that your mother would
have done, if she were alive.

That's for sure

Listen.

Don't speak about
my mother like that.

You don't know what
she would have done.

She didn't even
take care of you!

You think she'd bother with
an old woman like that, yeah?

Make sure that the
press conference

is billed as an official
launch of the project.

Serve food and drinks.

Before it starts,
make sure to hand out

the list of questions
to the journalists

I'll write up
the questions myself.

They're sending over
the tax police.

Are you now on their side?

No.

But I'm quitting.

They'll be here
in half an hour.

But you can still
change your mind.

Fuck you, coward!

This has nothing
to do with cowardice.

It's about survival.

Anton, come here.

look out the window.

They control everything here.

And you think we
can take them on.

We don't stand a
chance against them.

And we never did.

Is that what they
told you to tell me?

They told me to reason with you.

How kind of them!

First, stab me in the back,

Then try to reason with me.

It’s me who’s trying
to reason with you.

They don't give
a shit about you.

Slava.

Let me just be frank.

You've betrayed me!

Anton Nikolaevich.

What?

Our security guards have disappeared.

Lets run.

The building was constructed
in the 19th century.

An architectural monument.

The floors are mopped
every day.

Clean.

Four meals a day.

A world literature library,

a television set,

with one channel.

You won't get bored here.

When her turn comes,

we'll transfer her
to a double room.

If you need me...

I'll be in my office.

If you have any problems,

press this button

Just press the
button to call us.

And don't worry.
Don't get anxious.

They do everything
for you here.

I'll wait for you.

Bye.

Granny.

I have to go as well.

CANTEEN

How much cash do you have?

Fuck knows.

how much?

Enough for tonight. Why?

I have to give my
old dear something.

You can shove it up her arse.

I'll shove it up your arse.

Got it?

Put the camera away.

Look, that guy looks like...

Arnold Schwarzenegger?

Are you retarded?

I'm telling you,
it's that guy...

There were two of them. In
that thing. What's his name?

Eddie Murphy?

Are you an idiot?
Cut it out.

Look over there.

Do you remember that TV show?

Can I help you?

Do you have any booze?

For you, anytime.

What's his name?

There were two of them.

They used to do cool shit,
always joking around,

And they used to make fun
of different people.

Do you not remember?

Actually he looks familiar.

Oh wow!

Come on. Lets go over to him!

- I promise you. Lets go.
- But maybe it's not him?

- I swear it's him.
- How do you know?

We'll just go over
and say hello.

You're right - It's him!

It's you, right?

Guys, can I help you?

I told you it's him.

My name's Artur.

Can we buy you a drink?

Look. Guys.

Let's just have one.

Come on! You're famous, right?

Thanks guys, but
I need to be alone.

I swear to you! We're
talking to him right now.

Right.

Fellas, here's the deal...

You go back to your table,

and I'll join you
when I'm finished.

You promise?

Holy shit!

You better.

Holy shit!

Listen, we could sell
these photos to a magazine.

Look!

Don't show the car here.

Park it around the back.

Katya, are you home?

Katya?

Take a photo of him smoking.

- Go on, take a photo!
- Hold on.

He's gonna have another drink.

- Take a photo!
- I'm taking a photo!

He’s changed his mind. Look!

Shit!

The hooligans have arrived.

So where's the famous guy?

He's sitting over there.

Motherfucker!

Hey, what the fuck!
Calm down. Sit.

He's been sitting there for
ages, just drinking.

Unbelievable! It's just
like on TV. Look at this.

What’s he doing here?

Look at this! It's amazing.

It’s totally crazy!

Unbelievable!

It's like he has no friends.
Can you believe it?

Hey!

Where are you off to?

To the toilet.

We're waiting for you.

In a minute!

Hey!

Mister, stop!

Where are you going?

I thought we were supposed
to have a drink together.

Guys!

Seriously! I have to
go to the hospital.

You lied to us!

I have to go to the hospital.

All we asked for
was to have a drink.

Sorry...

He's much shorter in real life.

Give that to me.

Come on. Don't worry.

We just want to
take some pictures.

Where's the camera?

Quickly, stand over here!

Smile.

Another one.

And one more time!

Come on, smile!
keep smiling!

OK guys. That's enough.

Great!

We should show these
photos to Luda and Sasha

What if we show him in person
to Luda and Sasha?

Fucking brilliant idea!

They'll go mad.

Luda and Sasha -
Fucking hilarious!

OK, that's enough.

I'm not going anywhere.

That’s it.

Show him what you have

Look. Do you see?

Anton

Yes.

What's going on?

I'm going to New York.

What?

They can't touch me in New York.

If I stay, they'll
have me arrested.

How could they do that?

It's the way things are now.

I can only fight them
in the courts.

Better to do that a
long way from here.

And Dima?

What about him?

There’s nothing I can do.

I can't take him with me!

Will you come with me?

Why don't you just give in to
them and stay in Moscow?

You obviously don't
know me well enough.

What's wrong?

Katia?

Everything’s OK.

What happened?

Nothing.

Are you OK?

Yes.

I'm going off to say
goodbye to Dima.

Think about New York.

OK.

You're crazy.

We're both crazy.

I'm not getting back with you.

Do you love him?

I just need a decent life.

Was our life not
decent enough?

I thought we were happy.

Please, can you leave?

Come on. Just go.

Don't lie to yourself. OK?

Let me through.

And again, Happy City Day
Muscovites…

…and guests of our
beautiful capital!

The weather is perfect…

…24 degrees with
no rain in sight.

Later on it will cool
to 18 degrees

but it’ll still be
warm enough.

This evening we're expecting
a fantastic fireworks display

which the organisers
promise will be…

…the biggest Moscow
has ever seen.

so, if you're still in town,

do not leave, or you'll
miss the spectacle.

In any case you won't
be able to escape

because the whole city
is at a standstill.

Tell me, Leosh.

Why do we put up with
these traffic jams?

I don't know.

There must be something
about them that we like.

It’s like a prison.

Do you ever think
Moscow's a prison?

Yeah...

Moscow’s a prison.

But we love it.

How do you escape
a prison you love?

Pay a bribe…

…to the prison guards.

Do you know Zadornov?

Zadornov is definitely
his friend.

If we had Zadornov
he'd make us laugh.

Do you know Kobzon?

Of course, they all
hang out together.

What's Kobzon like
in real life?

Hey,

What's up with him?

Hey, what’s up? Hey!

He's only pretending.

He's an actor.

Good lad!

Have a drink!

Go on. Drink it!

Half of the
Garden Ring Road…

…from Sukharevskaya
through Zemlanoi Val…

…over to Park Kulturi is
completely gridlocked…

…There are huge traffic jams
now on Leninskiy…

…Kutuzovskiy, Nakhimovskiy,
Ryazanskiy Avenue

and Prospect Mira.

So pretty much everywhere.

What are we waiting for?

We could be here all day

Vladimir, why didn't
anyone save my Mom?

What do you mean?

What happened to her?

She drank herself to death.

How come?

When your father died,
she couldn’t cope.

She got depressed.
Started drinking.

and that was the end of her.

Did Granny not
try to help her?

Why do you want
to know all this?

The past is dead.

Come on, old man!

These girls are special.

You're gonna love them.

When they answer, say
you've come to fix the TV.

Tell them you’re here to
get rid of the cockroaches.

Who is it?

I came here...

to fix the television.

Who is it?

Tell them you’re here
for the cockroaches!

I came here...

to get rid of
the cockroaches.

Granny!

Look who we found for you!

Oh my God!

It's the famous actor!

Where did you get him from?

They kidnapped me.

Shut up!

He lied to us and wouldn't
even join us for a drink.

Have you gone
completely mad?

What's your problem?

What's my problem!?

You'd have to be
an imbecile...

to kidnap a famous actor

and bring him to your Granny.

Don't call me that, please.

You're an imbecile!

I said don't call me that!

Hey!

Where're you going?

That's enough.

The party's over.

I'm leaving.

Understand?
Friend of imbecile.

You're going nowhere.

I'm gone.

Relax! Take it easy.

The only way you'll stop me…

is by shooting me.

You think I don’t
have the guts?

Do you?

Go on.

Go on. You think I'm afraid?

I don't give a shit.

Go on, bitch.
Pull the trigger.

Maybe I will.

Are you nuts?

Go on.

Pull the fucking trigger.

Pull it!

Go on! Pull it, bitch!

You'll be sick of New York
after two minutes.

In that case, I'll come back.

They won't let you back until
you give them what they want.

Dima. I’m…

…going away tomorrow.

Where are you going?

To America.

Can I come too?

You can visit later.

I want to go with you.

You just can’t. Understand?

Just don't cry.

Do you hear, Dima?

Don't start crying.

Dima, Do you remember
what I told you?

You have to be strong.

Strong people don't cry.

Show me how strong you are.

Good boy.

What are you doing?

I'm cleaning up.

She's only gone…

…two hours and you're
already redecorating!?

I don't feel bad about it.

It’s better for her this way.

Valery Fyodorovich.

What are you doing here?

Come on back to the kitchen.

No. Guys, that's enough.

Time to go home.

Wait up, we'll see you off.

Come on. Come on.

Stepan.

I know this is hard on you.

But we finally have a
chance to change something,

to live for ourselves.
You know what I mean?

Is there no whiskey?

There wasn't enough money.

What about your money?

Which money?

The money you have in the bank.

What about it?

Is it still there?

Yes.

And why is it still there?

It's for a rainy day.

What day?

A rainy day, Vladimir.

In case you decide to leave?

Maybe that’s your fate…

to keep roaming from one place
to the next like gypsies?

Do you want us to leave?

I can hardly wait.

Wait for me in that cafe.

Where are you going?

I'm meeting a friend and…

…I’ll be back. Go on.

I’ll be back soon.
Off you go. Go on.

That's it, guys. You don't
have to wait with me anymore.

We're sticking with you.

Better to be careful, There
are lots of nutcases around here.

There she is.

OK, bye.

Are you OK?

Never been better.

Apart from this cough.

What happened?

I met some people
and entertained them.

Listen. I know that.
It’s the story of your life.

Let it be my epitaph.

For God's sake.

Are you a fool or what?

Where are we going?

To the hospital.

We're not going
to the hospital.

I'm taking you
to the hospital!

Stop the car please.
I'm asking you.

Pull over here.

Listen,

for 12 years you and I
have pretended

that Natasha doesn't exist.

and myself and Natasha have
pretended you don't exist.

But there's no use
having secrets anymore.

For that reason, we're going
to Natasha's place.

Let's go.

Maybe they're not home?

Happy City Day!

Come on in.

We thought you had gone out.

Where’s Luba? Luba!

She's in there. Luba!

Come and meet our guests.

Lets pour the first round!

Hi.

I want to ask you something.

Why did nobody help Mom
when she was dying?

Granny!

Write it down.

I'm asking you,
just write it down

Please, take the pen

and write it down, Granny.

Write it down.

Why didn't you help her?

She...

...refused our help...

She thought she could
cope on her own.

She was drinking all the time,

But one day...

she came to me, sober.

I promised to help her.

But the next day,

she passed away.

I know...

she did everything for you.

everything she could.

But...

I...

couldn't...

do...

enough for her.

What took you so long?

Lets go!

Where are you going?
Paparazzi's is the other way.

We're not going
to Paparazzi's.

Where are we going?

Premiere Lounge

We can't afford
Premiere Lounge.

Yes we can.

How come?

What were you doing in there?

Nothing.

Why did it take you
so long then?

Don't ask me
personal questions.

It's none of your business!
Understand?

Just shut up!

What's going on?

What are you doing?

Have you gone crazy?

I am never…

…bringing her back there.

This place is OK.

Not as good as Lillies,

but you wouldn't get in
there looking like that.

OK guys, here's the plan.

We push straight
through the queue.

You have the camera.
You take photos.

I'm not gonna be
a fucking paparazzi!

- You're the one with the camera!
- I don't care!

Relax, I'll take the photos.

I'm 'MC Tiger'.

Who!? Why not ”MC Kool”?

Even "MC Fresh" is better!

Listen! I’ll fucking kill you!
Understand?

I'm MC Tiger!

Be your fucking MC Tiger.

You can be the
guy from Ivanushki.

Yeah?

OK, listen up. Here’s
what’s gonna happen!

We're gangsters!

We're dudes!

Understand?

We're super-fucking-rap-stars.

You take photos
in front of us.

Put the flash on.

What, am I not
saying anything?

No, you’re saying nothing.

Let me say the girls are
on their way or something.

Just take photos, understand?
Just take photos!

OK? Everyone ready?

Lets go!

- What if I’m MC Apollo.
- Shut up!

What? It’s a Greek god.

Start taking photos.
Come on!!

- Where’s the fucking flash?
- Hold on.

Where’s this flash…

Out of the way!

We just finished a concert.
We’re tired.

Lets do this quickly.

We're on the list.

MC Tiger.

What are you looking at?
Do you know who he is?

Call over that babe there.

She'll get us in.

Hey Gorgeous, get over here.

Come here.

Don't you recognise me?

Hey boys, what is it?

We're on the list.

Your names please?

MC Tiger.

Hey, are you stupid?
Look under “T” for Tiger!

What a pity.

You're not on the list.

MC Tiger!

Get your hands off me!

In here. In here!

Hello.

Hey girls!

Come in, don't be afraid.

Thank God!
Where have you been?

I’ve been celebrating life!

Are you drunk?
Why did you drag her here?

I didn't drag her here.
I invited her as a guest.

Just be nice to her.

Hello.

Natasha.

This is Marina.

Marina, this is Natasha.

Hello.

You haven't met.

but I think you both
know each other well.

What's going on, Valery?

Why aren't you in hospital?

I've got fed up with it.

Come on, girls!

Lets drink to you two
finally meeting.

What have you done with him?

Natasha

I just brought him home.

...you should be grateful
to Marina.

She rescued me from a
very difficult situation.

From a commune
in Baumanskaya.

What was he doing there?

He was at some
kind of a party.

Valery!

Calm down, relax.

Come on, let's dance!

I don’t want to.

Lets go. Come on, let's dance!

Leave her alone!

She doesn't want to dance.
Let her be.

You're a cool dancer.
You don't need a partner.

Thanks.

Always a pleasure.
What's your name?

Kciusha

Artur

Where’s your boyfriend?

Or do you usually dance alone?

I'm dancing alone because
I've had three long islands

and two vodkas.

Hey, is that your girlfriend?

She's not my girlfriend.

Tequila?

Do you want to get me wasted?

I want to see you dance again.

Barman. Tequila!

How old are you?

You're old enough to be here.
That's all that matters

You're a crap dancer!

Well, I’m a good kisser.

I don’t doubt that!

Let me show you.

Listen, he told me he was going
fishing for the weekend.

You know, Nina, I don’t think
he actually goes fishing.

What are you laughing
like an idiot for?

There's a guy at the Losinka
market who sells fish.

I think he buys it from him!

What's he buying?

What the hell
are you laughing at?

Luba, take a break.
We'll take care of those.

- Luba, let's drink!
- You've done enough work.

Let's have a drink girls!

We’ll finish this shampoo!

Happy City Day, girls!

Happy holiday.

My lovely friends…

Wishing everybody happiness...

good health and fortune.

Luba, come on. That's
enough. Go and relax.

Luba!

We'll finish it ourselves.
Go on.

OK, thanks, girls.

A few days ago, he told me
he had to buy this and that..

I’m telling you. Essentially…

you are not a fisherman!

Exactly.

Luba?

Do you have any
whiskey or rum?

No. Only vodka.

She didn't buy whiskey.

Why didn't you
get any whiskey?

She's saving up
for a rainy day.

Isn't that right, my dear?

Roma, get to work.

Luba.

That was very tasty.

The meat was simply delicious.

It’s a lot better than
what we usually eat.

And what do you usually eat?

Different types of shit.

Probably why the last guy
kicked her out... eh?

Listen, you know what?
You need a change of scene.

- Two days fishing.
- Quiet, quiet!

The concert has started.

Who is it?

Katya somebody.

I used to look like that.

What is this?

- Let's get a drink.
- Lets go

MC Tiger!

Happy City Day!

Get in.

- Let's go.
- Come on!

What's this crap
you're playing?

Don't you have
any normal music?

If you don’t like it,
I can stop the car.

Ha! See how cocky he is!

Why the hell are you
all coming here?

Is something with your
own country wrong?

I think you meant to say…

“Is there something wrong
with your own country?”

What are you trying
to teach me for?

This is my country.

Yes, your country.

And your language?

Yeah, mine.

Well, how come my Russian
is better than yours?

Ha ha! Brilliant!

- What are you looking at, sucker?
- Shut your mouth!

Valery.

Valery, just don't die OK?

I called for an ambulance.

Don’t write me off yet.

I haven’t introduced you
to the other women yet.

Natasha.

There’s no need to cry for me.

I have no regrets...

I don’t even regret
our arguments.

Me, too.

You curse like a goddess.

Stop crying, both of you.

I'm already completely soaked.

Does anyone actually live
here except for you?

What the fuck are you
trying to say?

Only the coolest people
live here.

Just around the corner is
Stas Mikhailov.

I swear!
Stop.

Here's our little den.

Is that a padlock?

Yeah. Padlocks are
the new trend!

I’m telling you.

Careful.

Everyone is using
padlocks nowadays.

This is our penthouse.

Holy shit!

Have we been robbed?

Someone's stolen all our stuff!!

Hey, look, look!

Where are our Persian rugs?

Where's our chandelier and
fancy plasterwork?

Go and see if they’ve taken
our jacuzzi as well, eh?

Roxanna baby,
Thank God you're still here!

I don’t know.
We have to de-stress.

Either way,
we have to de-stress.

So, baby?

Will you heal my wounds?

Take it off.

It’s hot in here.

Come here.

I need to go to the toilet.

Let her go! We need to
go to the toilet.

Don't forget to use soap.

How are we going
to get out of here?

Here are some pills.

I'll take some for myself.

You keep the rest.

Slip them into their drinks
when you get a chance.

Understand?

Hide it.

Come over to us.
Come on. Come on.

Let's help her.

Hey...

...that's not decent at all!

Drinks!

Come on.

Come on. Drinks!

Don't wait for us. Fellas!

Lets continue.

Come here.

- I want to propose a toast.
- A toast

Take your drink.

We’re having a toast.

Do you hear?

Come on.

Let's drink to...

To...what?

To Stalin!

Bottoms up!

Bottoms up!

Come over here, gorgeous.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

I really enjoyed it.

You sang...

…with gusto.

Yeah.

How were the acoustics?

Fine.

Everything was good.

What time is your flight
at tomorrow?

Ten o’clock.

I have a ticket for you too.

Are you coming?

The bitches have drugged us!

Open up!

Open the door or I’ll cut
your fucking heads off!

Luba.

Lu...

Luba.

Hey Lu!

Let go of me.

I need you.

Let go of me, please.

Don't go to
New York with him.

Katya.

Who’s this?

I'm her friend.

Friend?

How come I don't know you?

Katya, don't throw
your life away.

Who is this guy?

Do you know him?

Tell him.

Do you know him?

Tell him who I am.

Do you know him!?

You don't even love him.

Anton!

Anton! Please don’t!

Stop!

Anton!

Stop! Stop it!!

Anton!

Anton!

Why are you so quiet girls?

Hey fuckface,
did something make you sleep?

Pervert!

Are you still asleep?!

Wake up, do you hear?

You wanted to fuck, bitch?

Wanking is all you’re
gonna do now!!

Fucking...

Filthy dog!

Stop it.

Let's go.

You want to do
something to them?

I’m not like you.

Fuck!

Horny fucking bastard!

Wow, we have a camera now.

How can we see their photos?
Do you know?

What's wrong with you?

Nothing.

Then why are you
looking at me like that?

Is this how you
spend your nights?

So what if I do?

It's stupid. They
could've killed us.

You call me stupid?
I practically saved your life!

You almost got me raped!

Maybe you would've enjoyed it.
You’re a virgin!

I could see you would
have enjoyed it!

Look bitch,

You're so weird,

you should be happy if
anyone wants to rape you.

Fuck off, whore!

What did you call me?

You're the whore
and so is your mother!

Two parasite-whores
living off my father!

No wonder your father
ditched you!

Bitch!

Bitch!

Bitch!

What is it?

Hello?

Ivan Georgevich, 502.
Their bell is broken.

Young girl, it's late.
They're probably asleep.

Hello.

Hello.

Can I speak to Ivan
Georgevich, please?

Who are you?

Is he there?

Hello.

Hello.

How can I help you?

I'm Valeriya.

Your daughter.

Do you have any ID?

Valeriya...

How did you find out
where I lived?

Mum told me where you worked.

I see.

And you followed me?

So that’s how you
spend your free time.

Following people around?

Why have you decided
to see me now,

In the middle of the night?

I just need somewhere to
stay for a few nights.

Does your mother know
where you are right now?

Maybe we should talk to her?

No. There’s no need.

She's sick.

I mean...

She's got the flu

and has turned off her phone.

But she won't mind if I
stay here for one night.

Give us a couple of minutes.

Yeah.

It’s unbelievable.

It's totally crazy.

What are we going to do?

I don't know.

What if her mother has
put her up to this?

Are you serious?

That woman is
capable of anything.

If we let her stay tonight
she might stay tomorrow too.

Before you know it her mother
could make some crazy demands.

Granny’s bringing the kids
back at 8 in the morning.

She can't be here
when they return.

Maybe…

we should just
order her a taxi?

Yeah, it's our only option.

Only, not now.

In about half an hour?

Where does she live?

They used to live in
Nakhimovsky.

One of you better tell me
right now what happened.

We had an argument
and I ran off. That's all.

Were you not able to ring?

My phone ran out
of batteries.

Mum, best just to
forget about it.

Don't ever speak to me
like that again.

Stepan!

Hello?

Hold on.

Vladimir.

Vladimir. It's Stepan.

Yeah?

When?

OK. I’ll call you back.

What is it?

She's dead.

Luba...

...I need you.

Please don't leave.

My god.

Dad, sorry I disappeared
like that.

It doesn't matter...

now that you're here.

Do you understand?

What happened to you?

I got in a fight.

Got in a fight?

Over a girl?

You're a good boy, Ilya.

Proud,

stubborn like me.

Of course…

…my ticker’s ticking
its last tick,

but I'm going out…

…with a bang.

Ilya…

Keep burning bright.
just like the fireworks.

That's the most
important thing.

Do you understand?

We all live…

…and we die. That’s
all there is to it.

There’s more to it than that.

Vera determined her own fate.

She even died at
her time of choosing.

Let's drink to everyone
choosing their own fate.

Lera.

Come here.

Allright.

I have to go.

You know this New York
of yours is overrated?

You think Moscow's better?

Yeah.

Hey!

Come on. Get up!

What the fuck are you doing?!

HAPPY CITY DAY!

It’s the famous actor.

Show the next one.

Look

It’s definitely him!

It’s absolutely him.

Amazing!
