AN ORDINARY WOMAN

Nika!

-Hi.
-Hi.

How is she?

Fine. Can I get the keys?
She needs diazepam.

-I'll go give her an injection.
-It's okay, I can do it myself.

And thanks, by the way,
for coming in and helping.

-Sure.
-Couldn't have done it without you.

Lie down, you're on your last legs.

-I'll go sit with her.
-Marina's there.

Marina needs a break, too.
She did just give birth.



Thanks. Sorry for waking you up.

Room 517's empty.

Mom,

I want a drink.

Dad said you can't
so soon after the operation.

I'll wet your lips a little.

Katya, the police are here to talk to you.

Hello.

Can it wait? She just woke up.

Marina, it's fine.

How do you feel?

Bad.

Katya, what happened? Who attacked you?

I don't know. I didn't see.



It was from behind?

Come on, she's got
knife wounds to the stomach.

Katya, honey, try to remember.

Dad, I want a drink.

Darling, not just yet.

What happened before the attack?

I was going to college.

Took a shortcut.

And then I don't remember.

Well, was there
someone walking behind you?

I don't know, I don't remember.

Katya,

is this to do with Petya?

-Who's that?
-Her boyfriend.

Did you have a fight?

It's nothing to do with him.

We didn't fight.

Mom, I'm tired.

Artem, isn't that enough?
She only just woke up.

I see.

Well, your dad has my number
if you do remember anything.

And come to the station
after being discharged.

Did you check the cameras?

One doesn't work,
can't see anything on the others.

We're looking for witnesses.

I see.

Katya, did someone threaten you?

Look, enough already.

Can't you ask all this later?

She's shaking, look.

Yes.

Of course. Relax.

Mom.

Remember how you said
you'd always be on my side?

Can you just not ask me anything?

No, I can't.

Precisely because I'm always on your side.

Katya, who did this?

Oleg, from college.

The dealer that Petya,
his brother, and I got in trouble with.

We almost went to prison
because of him.

But, wait,
I gave you money to get out of it.

Yeah, the cops took it.

Katya, you do realize
he could be back?

He was just high...

He went mad.

-It was an accident.
-What if he gets high again?

Mom, I'm tired.

Okay.

Okay, I won't tell anyone
if you don't want me to.

Hello, Galina!

Oh, Lord.

What an awful voice you have.
What the hell do you want?

-How are you?
-Fine.

And you?
Here to blackmail someone?

Very funny.

If you want a job,
you've no chance here.

No, I'm here to see you.

Want a coffee?

Oh, wow, what an honor.

So, we going?

It's just, I've got a proposal.

-Thought up some vile revenge?
-Come on, Galina.

I'm not mad at anyone.

-So, what do you want?
-Come on, I'll tell you. You'll like it.

Galina, I want to tell you a story.

-Let's say I read a book.
-In all your free time...

Please don't interrupt.

So, the book goes...

Once there was a manager,
working in a hotel.

She never had enough money,
so, she got a side gig,

providing prostitutes to the guests.

For a commission.

And just as things
were going well, boom!

A prostitute was killed,
right there in the room!

So she wondered what to do.

After all, a dead whore
would get her fired.

Maybe even arrested.

So, she shoved the body into a mattress,

and asked her friend to get rid of it.

Liza, you drink a lot, right?

So, I'm wondering if the friend knew
what was in the mattress?

You set her up.

So you got to daydreaming
after hearing about the search?

All I want to say is
how much I admire that manager.

I want to be like her.

I've no intention of reporting
this book to the police

I just want to work with you.

As a partner.

What's so funny?

You want to be my partner?

Even if that book is true, which it isn't,
you must realize it's dangerous.

You're not in prison.
So, there's money in it.

And I can help you earn more.

There's a civil engineering college
near me.

You should see all the desperate girls!
Just hand 'em cash, and show 'em a dick.

Liza, enough. Thanks for the coffee.

And go read some non-dick books.

Come on, Galina, you know I'm smart.

I want to work.

I'll earn us money. I'll do everything.

Think about it.

I'll be back.

POLICE

Fucking idiot!

-What hospital is she in?
-You're so dumb!

-Tell all, did you?
-I know it was Oleg!

I don't give a shit!
He'll bring backup, we'll be fucked!

When the fuck are you
going to use your stupid head?

-Or do you want to get involved?
-What can we do?

He nearly killed her!

Do what I tell you to, shithead!

You keep a mile from her
at all fucking times, got it?

You're lucky
the detective's an acquaintance.

-Here, you pay the hoax-call fine.
-They'll still question her, though.

You are a fucking disaster!

They've already questioned her.
She said she doesn't remember!

Fucking chick's got more brains than you!

Give me my phone.

Yeah? Anything else?

Did you hear me? Forget about Oleg.

-Whatever.
-Whatever, Trevor! Did you hear me?

-Yeah, yeah!
-Fuck yeah!

Here.

Now, go apologize to the old lady.

She was furious.
Barely got her to calm down.

Go fuck yourself!

Hey, dumbass!

Listen, fuckface!
Don't bother coming home!

ASSHOLE

"Vera, congratulations!
3 days without a drink!"

-Vera!
-Mom, what are you doing?

I need the toilet. What is all this?

-It's over there.
-Like I don't know where it is!

Mom!

That's the closet!

The toilet's over here. Come on.

Come on.

Come with me.

I can find it.

Go on, then.

See? The toilet.

-Yeah?
-Vera, hi.

How are things?

Fine until you asked.

-Am I interrupting?
-You are.

Can you come in today?

-No, I'm busy.
-Sure you are.

Oh, fuck off.

Look, I've got new info
about that whore of yours.

-So?
-So nothing!

Look, we gotta talk, urgently.

I'll be waiting.

Bitch...

Bastard.

Hello, Lydia?

It's Vera here.
You used to care for my mom.

Look, sorry about that,
I was really on edge.

Can you care for her again?

How about now?

Yes, of course, tomorrow.

She's at my place now.
The doctor said it'd be better.

No, I'll send you the new address.

Okay, thanks.

Yes, good bye, thanks.

Here.

Go on, then.

Go on.

Go on, Mom, drink up.

Open wide.

Well done.

I've gotta go for an hour.
Will you be okay alone?

Come on, what am I, a kid?

Or an invalid?

Okay, be right back.

-I'm going to the maternity ward.
-How is she?

Asleep.

Look, I know
she remembers who attacked her.

Why won't she say it?

She did say...

But she's afraid, said to stay out of it.

Afraid of?

First, promise you won't say a word.

She doesn't trust us.

Promise.

It's Oleg, a guy from college.

He's a drug dealer, and...

...he's the reason
they got involved in all this.

It was revenge.

Okay, but tell me why we can't
go to the police about it now?

It's a complicated story.

Katya's involved in it.
What if they're all arrested?

Besides, when he finds out we reported it,
he'll have nothing to lose.

Let's sit and talk it over later...

We can decide what to do.
For now, she's safe.

She's safe?

You're that sure?

Artem, go be with her.

Artem!

You promised!

Mom, hi!

-How's Katya?
-She's okay, recovering.

Mom, have you got her friend's number?

-Whose friend?
-Katya's of course.

The one she's always with... Lena.

-What for?
-Don't ask questions.

-Have you got her number?
-Oh, Lord.

Yes, I think I had it somewhere.

Yes, Galina?

I'm coming.

Oh, Marina!

Congratulations once again.
Bought these from your shop.

How are you? The baby?

Yeah, fine.

Galina, what's up?

Why does something always have to be "up?"

I just wanted to come by

and see how you are.
When will you be discharged?

Already have. The baby's here for now.

Come on, out with it.

Look, Marina, I was thinking,
you're not working at the moment.

Can you give me the contacts,
so we don't lose clients?

I'll do your job for a bit.

Why the funny look? I've even got some
ideas for business expansion.

Remember Liza, the cleaner?
Who caught us.

Caught you.

Right. She thinks I was running the girls.

She thinks she can get us
some new, hungry talent.

Hasn't life taught you anything?

-Marina, all's well that ends well!
-Oh sure, fine and dandy!

I just wanted to ask.

Marina, will you give me the contacts?

Galina, thanks for your concern, but no.

-You can't go in.
-What's up?

He's on a ventilator,
stopped breathing.

-What?
-Don't make me call security!

-How did he stop breathing?
-Doctor!

-What's happening?
-Enough of this.

We are stimulating his respiration.

Wait out here, I'll explain later.

Don't worry.

-Yes, Marina?
-Artem?

-He's stopped breathing.
-What?

What do you mean "what?"

He isn't breathing. He's on a ventilator.

Something's wrong.

-They won't let me in.
-Okay, calm down.

Is the doctor there? Put him on.

Okay.

It's my husband.

Yes, hello?

Thanks.

Look, Marina, don't worry.

They'll treat him with surfactants.

It's so that his lungs open up.

But they won't let you in to see him.

Where am I? At the hospital.

Recognize him?

It's been online two days.

His statement says he was
set up with a whore, and blackmailed.

Obviously, he didn't pay up,
so, they leaked the video.

So, there it is.

-So?
-What do you mean, "so?"

What? Get an ass-kicking, did you?

Vera, how about you watch your tongue?

The prosecutor returned the case to us.
It's being watched closely.

The banker caused a fuss.
He's kind of well-known.

So, there it is.

Well, bully for you. Good luck.

Cut the childish games. Upset you, did I?

Get back on the case, you know it well.

And I'll sort the rest.

Screw you, Ivan.

You're so stubborn, Vera!

What do I have to do?
Get down on my knees?

Vera!

-Ten years I've covered for you.
-Thanks.

Pleasure!

What the fuck is this? What do you want?

Get my sister's case back.
You've made empty promises for six months.

This again...

How will I get it back?
You know how it works.

Yeah, I do know. You just don't want
to be obliged to anyone,

-nor to take on a case that's stuck.
-Of course I don't.

-It's fucking stupid, that's why.
-Bye, then.

Wait, wait!

All right, here's the deal.

I'll find out.

And I'll get it back if I can.

Promise.

I'll need a team, then.

Seriously?

-Yeah.
-A team?

'Cause we added
so many new people after you left?

You can have Max, I'll free him up.

Focus on the whore.

Deal, Vera?

Deal.

-But I've got stuff to deal with first.
-Get on with it!

I can do that.

I was giving her a drip.

Keep away from my daughter, you hear?

-There must be other nurses.
-There are, of course.

Who's she?

She's a nurse.

I found your old phone,
and re-activated your number.

There's money on it.

Thanks.

Where's Dad?

Don't know. He left.

But he was meant to be with you.
When did he leave?

I was asleep, Mom.

Okay, you just relax.

You can take a Thursday shift.

Where's Artem? Is he here?

Said he was going somewhere.

-Something wrong?
-No, it's fine.

-Hello?
-Hello.

Antonina, did Artem stop by?

No, but he did call. Sounded agitated.

-He asked for Lena's number.
-Why?

I don't know. What's happening, Marina?

-Nothing, we just missed each other.
-Okay.

-Tell Katya we'll be there soon.
-Okay, will do.

-More!
-Throw more stuff out!

-Headphones!
-More!

-Throw it out!
-Throw more!

Fucking hell!

-Throw it out!
-Misha, catch!

-Got any money?
-What?

Throw us some money!

Hold on.

Money!

-Throw us some money!
-Here!

Get back here. Get back!

Money!

-Pick it up.
-Shut up and get lost!

Ms. Lavrova is in the ICU.

-Only family allowed.
-I'm her brother.

Let's see your ID.

Here's my report.

But we've got different surnames.
We're step-siblings.

Different fathers, too?

Yeah, same mom.

Enough of that, young man.

Please, I really need to see her.
Can I have a pass?

-Please?
-Get lost, "kid brother."

TO: ARTEM
"He wants to see Katya."

"Let him in, he is her boyfriend"

Oleg!

Can I have a word?

Take this, please.

Who are you?

-The fuck's wrong with you?
-I'll...

I'll cut you up like you did
to my daughter.

And who is your daughter?

Thought you'd get away with it?

-Mister, calm down.
-Get lost.

Cut me up, huh, asshole?

The fuck are you doing!

Get lost! I'll call the police!

Shut up, bitch! We are leaving, boys.

Artem, I asked you not to.

I didn't tell her.

Why did you go find him?

To kill him.

So I could tell Mom
I'm going to prison because of him.

Well, they nearly killed you.

Marina, he's evil.

He's a cocky little bastard.

Worst of all, he'll go unpunished.

That's life, Artem.
This kind of thing happens.

Is that news to you?

Don't break it.

I want to replace it.

The knobs don't work.

Mom, it's late, go to bed.

I'll decide

when it's bed time.

Wait out here.

Katya?

You've got a visitor. How are you?

-Who is it?
-Your boyfriend.

Tell him never to visit again, I'm asleep.

Okay.

You can't. Don't fight with me.

-Get out.
-Let me talk to her!

Katya, I had no idea. My phone was off.

Go away.

Katya, shall I go get him?
Fuck him up?

Don't go get anyone.
Just go away, please.

-Katya, please, I just...
-Don't ever come back here.

Oh, and "Hi" to your brother.

All right, let's go.

Good bye.

Galina!

Liza, are you stalking me now?

Well, yeah. I figured,
since we'll be working together,

it's better if I avoid the hotel.

-You've got some nerve.
-I want to show you something.

Well?

Look...

Here.

Vika, from Voronezh.

She's a model.

Got her lips done recently, see?

She sends money to her sick mom.

Plus, she wants to live the high life.

Next...

Larisa, she's wild, basically loves sex.
Although she's only doing Skype for now,

jilling off for guys,
but she's up for physical contact.

Though she wants guarantees,
approved clients.

So, this is Masha.

And Anya.

Look, Galina, you know full well
the opportunity, the money here.

I'll think about it.

-And stay away. I'll call.
-Okay.

I'll find out about visiting.

But he's on the ventilator, so there's
no need to be there all the time.

But what if I want to?

Okay, fine.

Hey, how about we bandage that?

Forget it. It's nothing.

-Hello?
-Hello, Marina?

Update me on the situation.

Yes, hello.

-See you, Artem.
-Bye.

When you can provide a whore?

I haven't managed to, yet.

Listen to me carefully.
You provide a whore or I will report you.

-No, don't do anything.
-Okay.

I just wanted to check if you're okay.

We're waiting.

We're fine.

How's your son?

Is he off the ventilator yet?

Now, you listen here,
if you go anywhere near my children,

-I swear...
-Give me that.

Give me the phone.

Hello?

Marina's husband here.

We need to meet.

-Hello, Artem. Why?
-To talk.

I have a proposal for you.

Okay, we'll be in touch. Good bye.

Now, look.

From now on, only I speak to them.

If they call,

just hand me the phone.

Got it?

Okay, Artem.

You just keep breathing.
You're going to be fine.

You and Daddy
will be playing soccer soon.

Because we won't let
Daddy be sent anywhere.

Hi, Marina.

Galina, look, I've made up my mind.

I'll do it, but on one condition.

A certain person needs to be dealt with.

And the second?

Hey, I don't care how.

Sort it out, then we can talk.

Okay, we'll do it, Marina.

Okay.

It'll all work out.

It's gonna be okay.

I'll do time for her.
But just leave my family alone.

It's decided.

Don't rush into it, Artem.
There are always options.

But if you've decided,
here's what we'll do.

Go home, now. Give your wife a hug.

Forget about the whole whore thing.

And at some point, when we need you,
you'll operate on our guy.

-And that's it?
-That's it.

And this is a one-time thing?
The operation?

I just want to know.

You know, be prepared.

Head on home, Artem.

-Liza?
-Galina, have you made your mind up?

There's a test assignment first.
An asshole needs dealing with.

He's a nasty piece of work, see?

-Uh-huh.
-"Uh-huh" what?

Gotta kill a guy.
I'll need time to find people.

Damn, Liza, you're scary.

Nobody's getting killed. Just dealt with.

Okay, gotcha, we gotta fuck someone up.
Sure, I've got it covered.

Marina...

I met them.

And?

Let's go sit.

Well?

We came to an agreement.

We won't go to the police,
or tell anyone.

They'll handle it all.

But I will have
to do something for them.

What?

As far as I can tell,
they want an illegal operation done.

But at least nobody's going to prison.

It's over.

So,

now, I need a shower.

Marina?

Thanks for the meeting
and fullfilling my request.

I hope that the
illegal operation isn't true.

Don't worry.

I just had to get him to back off.

Marina, do hurry, we're waiting.

-I'll do it.
-All the best.

-Daddy, hi!
-Hi, there.

-Hello, honey.
-Granny, can we stay longer?

What's that?
You've got your homework to do.

What's that there?

Mom, it's nothing. I forgot
to put my belt on, had to brake hard.

-So careless.
-Really, it's nothing.

When are you
and Mommy coming home?

They'll come in good time.
Say your goodbyes now.

-Bye.
-Don't forget,

we've still got to buy a Kinder Surprise.

Get better.

-Bye.
-Bye.

-Okay, bye.
-Bye.

No, I'm not going to kiss you.

Okay then, bye.

-What happened?
-As I said, accident in the car.

Don't give me that.

Now, tell me, how are you?

Who's Nika?

Nika?

Nika is my colleague.

We work together.

Do you love Mom?

Honey, what's with the questions?

I love all of you.

I see.

What do you see?

Dad, I want to sleep.

Marina, why aren't you home?

Can I stay the night here?

Go home, relax.
You need a good night's sleep.

I think I'll be better off here.

Well, okay.

I'll tell them downstairs.

I think your bed in the ward is empty.

Thanks a lot.

Katya, babe!

Lavrova!

Hey, get out of here!

Oh, fuck off.

I love you, Katya!

-He's funny.
-Hysterical.

Katya!

Quit shouting, you moron!

Why won't they let me in?
Why don't you let me in, then?

She needs blood, I've got loads of it.

I'll give her every last drop!

-Right, come with me.
-Get off me!

-Hey, mister, let go, you lunatic!
-What's he shouting for?

-Easy. He's with us.
-He's drunk, too.

-Get him out of here.
-Okay.

-You're in charge.
-Okay.

Come here.

Come on. What's your name?

Petya.

Well, I'm Katya's grandma, Antonina.

Nice to meet you.

Well, then,

grandson-in-law, give us a hug.

I just wanted to see her.
But they won't let me in, damn them.

Don't worry, you can visit tomorrow.
Leave it for today.

You know, she's in a very poor state.

-And here you are, drunk as a skunk.
-Only a bit...

No, you should go home, sleep it off,

and come by tomorrow.

Nowhere to go. Brother kicked me out.

I'll go to the train station.

-What do you want with the station?
-Well, it's warm there.

No, no. Look, how about

you come stay at ours?
Come on, Petya dear. Come, my boy.

There...

There's a good boy.

Good appetite, I see. Good boy.

Thank you.

Do you drink a lot?

I really do love her.

Can't live without her.

-Get a lump in my throat.
-And vodka helps?

-That was whisky.
-Really?

How can a student afford whisky?

I'm not a student. I've got a job.

I fix scooters.

Do home repairs, build houses.
That's mostly in the summer.

You're handy.

And your parents live elsewhere?

They died.

Oh, Lord...

My brother brought me up.

Eat up, Petya.

How did that happen?
Were they drinkers, too?

No, teetotalers.

Car crash, and that was it.

I couldn't even protect her, you know?

-Why didn't he knife me?
-Petya, don't say that.

Antonina, can you help us make up?

Sleep on it, okay?

If you've had enough, go to bed.
There's a bed ready in the living room.

There's a green towel
for you in the bathroom.

Let's deal with this tomorrow.

Thank you so much, Antonina.

I feel completely...

He's a good kid, isn't he?

Shame I didn't ask about his apartment.
I wonder how big it is.

Is Mommy coming?

No, she's staying in the hospital.

The baby's sick, he needs his mommy.

Galina...

What's this?

Liza arranged it.

Don't you worry.
They'll handle it just fine.

That's him.

You see?

Good thing we made up, Liza.

Here's the thing, girls.

You want into the business?

Here's my offer.

I'll give it all to you.
Whole thing, 100%.

But I...

...need...

...a corpse.
