An Ordinary Woman (2018–…): Season 2, Episode 1 - Episode #2.1 - full transcript

How old are you?

Nineteen.

Do you actually know her well?

Yes.

Jenya's cool.
I know her from high school.

She came and got into a school
but has no money.

Marina, come at once.
Looks like she's dead.

-Who is?
-Your Sveta.

We have to stuff her right here.

Come on. One, two, three.

Young woman, 19 or 20 years old.



No ID on her.

-Do you recognize this car?
-No.

-Do you need this?
-I need this, Max.

Do you know what happened to my sister?

What do I have to do?

Search.

Don't give the case to anyone else.

I'll have hot pancakes
when Dasha comes.

Mom, Dasha is not coming.
She died.

Last year.

Here's 100,000.

It's the down payment.
Cancel everything for now.

Get lost.

-I won't leave, give me back my money.
-There was no money.



-He's right in the center of the group.
-Is it Oleg?

Don't tell anyone I got it from you.

Stop!

-Three hundred.
-Wow.

Ivan Andreevich must go to jail.

Send him another whore. Not one of yours,
so that they wouldn't trace her to you.

But the result must be the same.

Where did Marina get this kind of money?

What kind of woman is she, Artyom?

I'm a pimp, Tyoma. I sell prostitutes.

I've just arranged the murder of a man
in order to avoid prison.

I don't have a bloody clue
about who I am now.

Just say something.

What? Like, "Everything's great"?

-Look, I'll fix things.
-How?

You'll go to jail. What about us?
What do I tell the kids?

Now hang on, I'm not in jail yet.

I'll get a light sentence.
It's not like I killed anyone.

-Well, never mind then.
-Artem.

Please, seriously,
I'm in a really bad place right now.

When did it all start?

Four years ago.

Look, I didn't do any of it on purpose.
It just worked out like that.

Remember? We didn't have any money.
We had problems.

So it was all my fault.

-I just didn't know it.
-Come on, none of it is your fault.

Look, please...

I must be a complete idiot.

You lied to me every day for four years.

I had no idea who I was living with.

Didn't notice a thing.

Okay, here's how it is.

I'm going to the police.
I'll confess to it all.

They'll lock me up.
You'll stay with the kids.

AN ORDINARY WOMAN

-Hello.
-Babe,

where the hell are you?

I come out of the bathroom.
You're both gone, I'm there

like a fucking idiot.
Neither of you are picking up.

-I changed my mind.
-What's that supposed to mean?

Couldn't agree on a rate?

We didn't negotiate.
I didn't even see her.

I changed my mind, Okay?
Don't call me anymore. Bye.

Excuse me?

If I find you going
behind my fucking back...

Little bitch.

Are you crazy?

Maybe I am. So what?

Wanna call Petya for me?
Or is he shit-faced in some ditch?

-Get fucked.
-Now I wouldn't mind that.

We've already settled this
with your guys, okay?

Settled what? I need my money back.

-What money?
-The money you dipshits cost me.

-We don't have a deal yet.
-Let me go.

Are you on something?

Hey, I just wanna talk.

The number you have dialed is busy...

Hey, Petya...

-"Hey, Petya..."
-Give me the phone.

-"I need you here, babe!"
-Give me the phone!

-Give my phone back.
-You're 300k in the hole.

I'm broke. Try getting a job instead.

Broke? Fine, then suck me off.

-Not even hobos would do that.
-Hold up, what?

-You're fucking dead!
-Freeze, bitch!

Bitch...

Please, Oleg...

Oleg... Please, Oleg...

Oleg... Call an ambulance...

Ten weeks.

Congratulations.

Will you do prenatal care here?

Shit.

I took the pill.

Did you bleed?

Well, yeah.

Slightly, but that's normal for me.

You can't be so naive, Nika!

You could have used your head,
taken a second test.

You girls honestly amaze me.

Well, sign me up for an abortion.

Now hang on.

Give it a good think, talk it over...

You've got time.

There's no one to talk to.

You're lucky you caught me now.
I'll be gone all of next week.

-So come in after the 15th.
-Don't you get it? I need this today.

-Beletskaya has a spot tomorrow.
-Great.

-1:00 p.m.
-Perfect.

-Dad!
-Hey!

Congratulations, son!
Finally, you've got an heir!

Where's Katya?

Would you believe, she was planning
to come with us, but she skipped out.

-I guess we'll see her here.
-Maybe.

Come on.

Oh, Lord, he's so tiny.

It's a miracle he's still breathing.

How does he eat, Dad?

See those little tubes? Through them.

Tanya, sweetie,
look at your little brother.

The little guy is totally helpless.

You're gonna love him, right?
You're gonna be nice to him?

I am. Poor little guy.

Good girl. Wave at him.

It's almost like he's looking at you.
Hey, little brother...

-Well, did you talk to Marina?
-About what?

You know what.
Where all that money's from.

She has other things to worry about.

I see.

Give this to her.
She'll know what's what.

The main thing is the thermos of soup.
It's still warm and tasty.

Have her eat it right away.

-Give it to her yourself.
-No, I won't.

I might start asking questions,
since you won't.

What, is this funny to you?

Do you just not care about us?

What do you want?

For us to air our dirty laundry,
like in your retarded TV shows?

Please don't raise your voice.

You're gonna give it to her yourself.

And you sure as hell won't question her.

Look at you go.
Guess I insulted your little Marina.

Hey, Tanya! Tanya.

Tanya, come here.

What happens if they turn his tubes off?

They don't turn off. Let's go see Mom.

Mom, I walked home by myself today.

That's weird. How did that happen?

'Cause Katya didn't pick me up.

Her friend's parents drove her home.
Would you believe it,

Katya volunteered to pick her up
this morning, and then...

dropped off the face of the earth.

I couldn't reach her, either.
When did she leave?

She took Tanya to school this morning.
Then she said she had a test.

And then she just...

I bet her phone died.
Kids spend all day glued to those things.

-Here.
-What's that?

Prunes. Good ones.

-You'll need them.
-Thank you.

-Maybe she's at her boyfriend's?
-What?

-Mom!
-A boyfriend? What boyfriend?

Well, that explains it.

Someone asks her out, sure thing.

But pick her sister up from school?
Screw that.

Aren't you two great parents?
Really taught her responsibility.

Let's talk about parenting another time.

Sure, "another time."

You always say that, but now is the time.

Instead of visiting you, she's messing
around with God-knows-who.

They need to learn this as kids.
Tanya, look over here.

Tanya.

Tanya, the right thing to do
is to keep your promises

and not let people down. You hear me?

Whereas you're all baby talk and coddling.

Mom, take Tanya home.

Katya must be home by now.

Mom, can I stay here with you?
I like it here. There's a TV.

Let's go, Tanya. Come on, let's go.

Mommy's tired. Having babies
is a lot of work. Let's go.

Hey, Tanya,

let's do this next time, okay?

Your grandma is right.

You can stay here next time, okay?

-See you.
-Tanya.

Tanya, honey, we'll be back.

I'll go see them off.

The number you called
is currently unavailable.

Hey, Lena.

This is Katya's mom, Marina.
She isn't with you, by any chance?

Hi, Marina. I haven't seen her today.

She's supposed to be on campus, right?
Don't you have a test?

She may have been, but I didn't see her.
We're in different classes.

Lena, I'm not mad at her.

I just haven't been able
to reach her for a while.

I'm worried.

Just tell me if you know where she is.

I don't need a location,
I just wanna know if she's okay.

Honestly, I don't know.

I'm unable to reach her, as well.
We had plans this morning.

Maybe she's at Petya's?

Probably. I called him,
but his phone was off, too.

Could you send me his number anyway?

-Okay.
-Thanks. Bye.

-Hello?
-Hey, hey!

Where'd you get to, Marina?

I told you to never call this number,
you hear me?

-Damn it, damn it!
-Give that back.

Use your own phone.

Zlata!

-Let's go!
-There's a lady in here!

Come on already, Zlata. Daddy's waiting.

Let's go. Let's go.

-Doctor Lavrov.
-How are you?

-Congrats on your son!
-Thank you.

-Hope he grows up healthy!
-Thanks so much.

Are you gonna donate to his baby fund?
What do they need so much for?

Honestly, as if we're all millionaires.

Every month it's something: weddings,
funerals. 300 rubles would be fine...

But this...

Early, right? How far along was she?

Seven months.

Did the birth go okay?

Beats me. I think so.

Hey, Natasha.

Could you let me off today? Bad headache.

For real. I'm all dizzy.

I can't assist...

You don't sugarcoat anything, do you?
Who'll cover for you?

Ask Semyonova.

-All right.
-Thanks.

All right, Mom.

Talk to you later.
Call us if anything happens.

She's not back.

We have to go see Petya.

-I'll go.
-Me too.

-No, you should rest.
-Artem.

I didn't tell you, but...

Katya and Petya got into a bad situation.

A what situation?

I don't really know. Someone threatened
Katya, and I bought them off.

Jesus Christ, Marina.
You're telling me about this now?

-Artem, I'm coming, too.
-No!

Artem, don't you get it?
I can't stay here alone.

Get up!

Hello? Up!

Rise and shine.

-What? What time is it?
-7:30 p.m. Trying to set a record?

We didn't fall asleep until 8:00 a.m.

There's a surprise
right where you fell asleep.

-What kind?
-Look and see.

Someone threw up. Crazy, huh?

-Wait, was it me?
-No shit.

Get your ass up and go clean it.

Move your ass! I gotta eat.
I already went to the store.

Watch it!

Get me the bottle opener.

Dick.

-Any news?
-Not yet.

She's not in any of the hospitals.
We're checking with her friends.

Artem, I think...

we should start calling the morgues, too.

I'll put Tanya to bed first.

Are you crazy?

Look, it's an awful thought...
But we must consider all possibilities.

Please, stop. This is not a joke.

Calm down, Marina.

Mom, call the help desk every hour or so.

Okay, okay.

Can I have Katya's bed
if we don't find her?

I always wanted the top bunk.

Go brush your teeth, Tanya. Hurry up.

Now! Hurry up, I said!

Hi, we're Katya Lavrova's parents.
We're looking for her.

-Can we talk to Petya?
-She's not here.

Let us talk to Petya, please.

Petya!

It's for you. Get over here.

-Hey, Petya.
-Hi.

Seen Katya today? You had plans.

I haven't. Why, what's wrong?

We can't find her.

She wasn't answering her phone.
Now it's off.

He's been asleep all day.

-Can we come in?
-Nope.

He said he hasn't seen her.

-No one asked you.
-What's with your tone?

Petya, did you talk to her
on the phone at all?

No, I was asleep all day.
I haven't a clue as to what happened.

-Look at him. He's lying.
-Where the fuck are you going?

-We haven't seen that skank!
-You scumbag!

-Quit it!
-Stop!

Vlad, that's enough!

-Chill!
-I'm calling the police.

That'll change your tone.

Go ahead!

-Stop it!
-Shut up.

Mom!

-Is Katya back?
-Found her, see?

Which one?
Did they give you an address?

Yeah, I know it.

What's up?

Gotta go to the morgue.

What? What morgue?

New body. Not identified yet.
No ID on her.

Could well be a mix-up.

Why don't I take you home...

-Marina.
-I'm going with you.

Marina.

-Where to?
-To see her.

-No.
-I said, let me go!

Don't be such a fucking dumbass!

You realize if they whacked her,
things will get crazy?

-Leave me the fuck alone!
-Fuck!

You done?

Eat shit!

-You'll thank me later.
-Piece of shit!

Petya, I need you here!
Oleg, give me my phone!

-Phone down.
-Oleg!

What fucking Oleg?

That scum from her college! He did it!

-Let's go get him!
-Petya!

You dipshit! Want another ass-kicking?

I don't give a shit. I'll go alone.

-Give me your fucking phone.
-Fuck you!

I do give a shit, Petya.

Fuck! Shit!

Hi, there. Are you both coming in?

Put these masks on.

Right this way.

Sorry about the mess.
Unclaimed, waiting for pickup.

We're overcrowded.

Could you move that one aside?

You ready?

That's not her.

Katya has crooked pinkies like me.

As a kid, she was afraid
everyone's were straight...

except hers.
She thought people would notice.

It's not her.

All right. Let's head to
the police station and file a report.

The police don't care.
They're not gonna search.

So, what? We just sit around waiting?

What phone is that?

Hang on.

-Yeah?
-Hey.

I was wondering if that girl
you brought in showed up again.

What's wrong with you, Marina?

How is it you weren't
worried about that all day,

but at 4:00 a.m.,
you decide to call me about it?

Do you know where she is? Did you talk?

We did.

Basically, she bailed. Changed her mind.

-When did you talk to her?
-Yesterday morning.

I couldn't reach you.
Apparently you're only around at night.

-So you didn't meet up with her?
-She turned me down, the jerk.

Look, when you were talking to her,
did you hear anything in the background?

-What? What fucking background?
-Like over the phone.

Was she with anybody?

Who fucking knows. Maybe
a trolley whistle? The signal was bad.

-She was on the trolley?
-Beats me.

Something kept clanking.
We only talked for like a minute.

Did she sound nervous?
Like she was afraid?

No she wasn't nervous.
I told you, she turned me down.

What's with these stupid questions?

Later, bye.

Damn, what the fuck?

Do you know if there's
a trolley near Katya's campus?

Who was that? What phone is that?

Drive towards campus. I'll explain.

-Who is that?
-Mrs. Tanya, it's okay! It's me, Petya!

Don't worry! It's okay!

Open the fuck up!

I know you're in there, you hear me!

Open up! What did you do with her?

Easy there!
Sir, you sure that's the door?

Look, you gotta call the cops.
I forgot my phone.

-The cops?
-A girl's being murdered! Call them up!

So, she hates us so much...

she would rather be a prostitute...

than ask us for help.

Artem, she's just a kid. She got scared.

She thought it would be easy.

Do you think that about the other girls?

That they got scared? Confused?

They're different.

-Katya wouldn't have made it.
-You sure?

What if she hadn't seen you?

Artem, I did nothing wrong.

They wanted to work, so I gave them a job.

I did my best to help, okay?

So you're the hero here.

Actually, we needed money.

In case you forgot.
Do I need to remind you?

Money? Marina, our daughter
almost became a prostitute.

-And I'm going to jail.
-You got off the first time.

None of this had to happen.
I asked you to recant your statement.

Ever think of that? "Didn't know."

Maybe you didn't want to.

Did you ever wonder,
ever ask how we were doing?

You just ran away! Just fucking ran away!

You just abandoned us.

Go on, keep it coming.

I'm done. That's enough, I'm done.

That was enough.

I'm just tired.

Do you know what route
Katya takes to campus?

I don't.

Then wait in the car.
I'll check the area out.

Open the door.

Police! Open up.

All right, sir, what's going on here?

-Where the fuck is she?
-Quiet.

Nothing. What's wrong?

The neighbors heard screams.
Anyone else here?

-No. I was sleeping.
-Go on, show us.

POLICE

Who was screaming?

I don't know, I didn't hear them.
He told me about it.

Asked to use my phone.

Look, I know she's in here.

Come on, search the place.

What did you do with her?

-With who?
-I know this guy from college.

He tried to break in last night.

-Probably high.
-That's fucking bullshit.

-ID?
-I don't have it on me.

Look straight ahead.

-Breathe out.
-You have a search to do!

-Drunk or some shit.
-Looks like it.

-He's coming with us.
-What?

-Come on.
-What?

What are you doing? Search the place!

They talked yesterday morning,
around 9:00 a.m.

She said she heard a trolley.

Maybe somewhere around here?

-Mommy, let's go look at the lady.
-What lady?

-There was a lady over there.
-Over where?

There.

There?

Go stand over there, baby.

Marina...

What?

Let's head home.

It's almost 8:00.

We should sleep.

-Then I'll ask at the college.
-Okay.

Artem, look!

Look sharp, Anton!

-Sir, ma'am.
-Let me through! That's my daughter!

Calm down.
They're taking her to the ER.

-What happened to her? Katya!
-Stabbed. She's unconscious.

All right, guys, I'm a surgeon.

-Go to Hospital 57.
-Dispatcher's orders only.

-What dispatcher?
-Number 4.

Life support! Ma'am, out of the...

-I am out of the way!
-Intubate her.

Katya...

-Let's go!
-In a minute.

What! Where's the driver?

Calm down, we'll go soon.

-Hang on.
-Hospital 57, Fedorchenko.

-Why aren't we going?
-Ask him.

-Why aren't we going?
-Dispatcher 4?

-Yes, thanks.
-Why aren't we going?

-Quiet.
-We're losing time.

-They'll call you.
-Take the money, let's go.

Put that away, they'll call them.

Please, please.

Don't you get that she's dying?

The dispatcher will call them!

Got the call. 57, let's go.

Follow the ambulance. Take your own car.

AMBULANCE

MY LOVE

-Hello?
-Nika.

-I need you at the hospital right away.
-I'm not working today.

My daughter's headed to the ER.
Please, I can't do it without you.

-Get me blood. Type O.
-What happened to her?

Artem?

Clamps.

Swab.

Sponge.
