An Ordinary Woman (2018–…): Season 2, Episode 3 - Episode #2.3 - full transcript

Mom, we've got news.

We're closing down the flower store.

Why's that?

The sales have been bad,
there's been no profit at all.

Marina took out a loan but it didn't help.

-We're in debt.
-Right...

Why did you start a business
if you have no brains for that?

Someone in this family's gotta earn money.

So, you earned a lot, did you?

Antonina, stop scolding me.
I'm not a child.

Why can't I talk to you like that?
Are you the family princess?



All right, stop it!

I've already decided.

We're going to rent out your apartment.

That's news to me. And what about me?

-You'll be living with us.
-Yeah, great.

-Wait, Tyoma...
-Stop!

Can you just listen? Be calm and sensible.
There's no need to get hysterical.

Right. We're going to sell
this apartment...

and buy a house in the Moscow suburbs.
There'll be room for everyone.

-Tyoma! What house?
-Just a normal house.

I've checked out some ads.
There are some good ones on offer.

There will be fresh air.
It'll be good for you.

Mom will be there and can always help.
We're one family after all.

Something's up with my head, Marina.



It feels foggy...

I better go.

Marina, please just don't argue.

It's a really good option.

Tyoma, I'm not arguing.

AN ORDINARY WOMAN 2

Right, I can't be driving around
with you that much.

I've got two kids in a hospital.
So deal with it on your own and quickly.

-Understood?
-Got it. And then what?

The deal still stands.
The business will be yours.

Here's the number for
the Head of Surgery at a hospital.

He's a greedy man and he drinks.
So it'll be easy to make a deal with him.

I need you to get a female body from him.

The body shouldn't be old, maybe between
16 and 40. Cause of death doesn't matter.

The bones must be intact.
Drowning, poisoning, stabbing, overdose...

-That's horrible.
-The body must be recent.

Wait. Marina, that's insane.

If we steal a body,
who will the family bury?

-Let's think of something else.
-Calm down, Galya.

Every hospital morgue has
unclaimed bodies. With no relatives.

If no one claims them, they're taken away
and buried in numbered graves.

So, this Head of...
He will give us such a body?

-He will. If you do everything right.
-Of course we will, Marina.

-If they've got fractures or stab wounds?
-No, don't take those.

Galya!

-Maybe don't do it if you can't.
-Well, no. I just needed some air.

We'll do it, Marina.

You know, I'm moving Petya to Moscow.
He won't even speak to me.

-Says he's too busy.
-Well, that's just his age.

No, he's drifting away from me.

Listen, I need to go.

Bye, Liza.

They're so pretty!

Petya!

I wrote something here.

I'll pass it on.

Come on.

Give me a hand with this,
my grandson-in-law.

Listen, Petya.

Sit down and wait for my signal.

-Have got your housing sorted?
-Yeah, I agreed with the boys.

With the boys...

Grandma Antonina!

Thank you very much.

All right, this is for you.

-Gran, are you crazy?
-These are not from me.

They are from a sweet young man.

His name is Petya.

I see.

Put it there.

-How are things at home?
-All's fine at home.

Shame you didn't introduce me
to your boyfriend.

He's a good boy. A proper one.

-How's Mom?
-Your mom is good too.

He asked me to give you...

this letter.

You two are in love. So I see.

Gran, why do you keep going on
about Petya?

What's going on at home?

Mom won't say anything.
Dad pretends it's all okay.

This Nika, is she Dad's mistress?

Well, what kind of question is this?

I see the way she looks at him.
Mom told her to get lost. I'm not a child.

Cut it out right now.
Stop saying such garbage.

How long have you known about it?

I can't take it anymore, really.
That's it.

I've got a terrible headache.

I better go. And you need to rest.
So I'm going.

What's up?

Is it true?

Yes.

-So?
-Not now, Petya.

She's as stubborn as it gets.

-Look, maybe I'll go up to her and talk?
-Petya!

Love is patience.
Have you heard this saying?

And you must have patience.

Hi there, you Judas.

Hello.

So, have they fucked you up?

Put you in an archive
instead of 30 pieces of silver?

Well, yeah. What brings you here?

-I got my case back.
-Really?

Congrats.

Yeah.

Anyway, I need you. You, Saint Stephen.

-What for?
-Vanya gave me to you as a present.

Come on, wrap it up and let's go.

-What, right now?
-Yes, right now.

All right, don't interrupt.
Just play along, got it?

Of course, Galina! Big boss lady.

Ladies, sorry to have kept you waiting.

Hello.

Hi. What do you want to talk about?

It's a very sensitive matter.

And you've been recommended to us.

Here.

I'm listening.

There's been a tragedy in our family.

You see, we're sisters.

And our other sister... she went missing.

Our little sister.

-Right.
-Yes.

She went missing three years ago.

We've already come to terms with it, but
our mom still can't accept that Natasha...

That she's no longer with us.

I'm very sorry for your loss.

How can I help you?

We want to organize a funeral
for our mom's sake.

As if we've found Natasha. So that she can
get her peace of mind. Do you understand?

But our mom won't just believe it,
so we need a body.

I heard there are unclaimed bodies
in the morgue.

I think I understand.

But what if your mother doesn't recognize
the body?

How will...

We could tell her that it was badly burnt,
and the coffin will be closed.

Why don't you just bury an empty coffin?
Why do you need a body?

It won't work. What if Mom
wants to see it herself, to check it?

-She'll see somebody else's body there.
-Well, no. We'd burn it.

-You'd do anything for your mom, right?
-Yes.

The situation is very bad.
You see, it's just our mother, she...

She suffers, and she makes us all suffer.
She cries.

She cries and cries. It's unbearable.

We...

We're afraid
that she'll drive herself mad...

with grief.

Look, Miss. Enough of this funny business.

I recommend you take her
to see a psychiatrist about this problem.

This money is enough to fix the brains
of your whole family.

Okay, listen.

Without a funeral,
we can't sell our apartment.

We need our sister to be declared dead.
It will be easier for everyone.

-Do you understand?
-Yes. Now I do.

Please, help us.

-What could I've said? He saw through me.
-We're sorry, Marina. We screwed it up.

-There are lots of other morgues.
-No.

The others will turn us to the police
for this.

So, it's plan B now.

You'll go to Kovanskoe Cemetery.

Find a funeral and a suitable body.
Take a photo of the spot.

-Okay, got it.
-No, I'm not sure.

Are you suggesting
we steal a corpse from a cemetery?

It's a sin. I'd never be redeemed
for that.

Galya...

You need to make up your mind
about what you want.

To go to heaven
or to run a whorehouse business.

-I'm afraid you can't have both.
-Marina, whores are one thing.

But desecrating a grave is different.
And you keep your hands clean.

Look, just go to the cemetery
and find a suitable dead girl.

I'll join you in the evening
and we can all go to hell together.

Look, Vera,

of course I was wrong.

It's just Vanya
started telling me things...

and you did God knows what.

Go to see a priest today
and confess, okay?

So, the banker gave us the address
of the prostitute's rented apartment.

She and her boyfriend Misha
were blackmailing him.

-Vera, enough, you're driving.
-Nope. Wrong. Now you're driving.

What about the hotel administrator
where she was killed?

Well, if Misha killed her,
the admin could have been his accomplice.

-Right, and so?
-Fuck knows.

Let's find out.

Go away, you drunks.
There are children around.

Hello.

Hello! Captain Isakov.

We called you. Can we go up
to the apartment and talk there?

What the hell?

Did you bring the documents?

Yes, of course.

Here you are.

SELESNEVA SVETLANA SERGEEVNA

Well, hello...

Ms. Svetlana Selesneva.

Take it.

There weren't any problems all year.
Can you imagine?

No complaints from the neighbors.

-How could this happen?
-Wait downstairs, please.

We'll call you.

You can't touch anything now, sorry.
Wait downstairs, I'll call you soon.

All right.

Find out what phone number
is registered to her.

Print out her call log and messages.

On it.

You need to find out
who she was sending money to.

So, it turns out that...

this Misha killed her, right?

Maksim, have you just solved the case?

-It all adds up.
-What do you think adds up?

Okay, bring Forensics in
to collect the fingerprints.

And interview the neighbors,
find out about her friend.

Damn, she was a whore.
Can you imagine how much there's here?

It's obvious she didn't bring anyone here.

Come on, move your arse.

Or else I'll send you back to Archives.

I heard your sister's case
was reassigned to our department.

-Did you ask for it?
-When did you hear?

This morning, at the briefing.

-Why didn't he tell me?
-Don't know.

He gave it to Fedya.

-What fucking Fedya?
-He was transferred from the region.

-Motherfucker!
-Vera!

Fucking bitch!

It hurts.

Sorry, I'll be more careful.

-Is it better?
-No, it hurts!

I'll give you some pain killers.

They've been together 20 years.
They love each other.

Please, Lord, forgive me!

They don't care, they're dead.

-If you want, I can go alone.
-You've decided to bend your back?

-Do you want to get the entire business?
-That's nonsense, Galya.

-I care for your soul.
-Liza, have you no shame?

-I took you into this and can kick out.
-I'm only joking.

That's not funny at all.

Marina is completely out of her mind.

Okay, it's risky to be seen together.
Let's split up.

I'll go straight up, and you go over there
where there's more people.

I'll meet you in the alleyway.

And put on a somber face.

Gone.

You'll burn in hell, Liza.

Come over here.

Quiet, quiet.

Sorry.

Two old women. And you?

Maybe we can take out a loan?
Or pawn your car?

It's on a lease.

Shall I walk around here on my own?

Go there.

I'll go after these ones.

Are you a friend of hers?

Yes, we were childhood friends.

Are you from Kazan too?

That's so terrible.

She was so young.

Had all her life ahead.

It just happens.

And she was so kind.

She helped everyone.

If anyone needed to swap shifts at work,
they'd go to her...

To Alyona.

It's okay.

Found. Meet me at the bench.

Excuse me...

Are you from our van?

-Who are you?
-Anatoliy.

I'm the driver.

-I'm Galya.
-Nice to meet you.

Come over to the van, warm up a bit.

Thank you.

Come on, Galya.

You're so kind, Anatoliy.

Steady, steady.

You are so strong, Anatoliy.

You know, don't get upset.

It's hard, no doubt, but it's life.

Was it someone close?

No.

A friend of my brother's wife,
but it's still sad.

-I understand.
-Are you married?

No, I'm not.

Maybe you'd like to keep me company?
I feel so sad.

-I'm working now.
-Galya!

Galya.

Liza?

My little sister. We're very close.

Liza, this is Anatoliy. Anatoliy,
this is Liza.

Forgive us please, she's just too upset.
It's our grandma's funeral.

-Anatoliy...
-Let's go. Go!

-Galina.
-Yes, Anatoliy?

I'm sorry. Careful.

Here, take my card. Just in case.
I mean, God forbid, of course...

I'll keep it.

-Martynova, don't you know how to knock?
-Who did you give my case to?

Your case is the murdered prostitute.

Fuck that. You and I had a deal.

-The deal was that I'd take it. So I did.
-And didn't fucking tell me!

-Come to the briefings and you'll know.
-What are you doing?

Give me the case!

Do you have a shitload of time or what?
If you solved the whore case, report then.

It's me.

So, how are you doing?

Awful.

What's up, Katya?

Katya, speak. I'm begging you.

Do you feel worse?

Mom...

Please forgive me.

I behaved like a bitch.

You didn't deserve this at all
and I just didn't know.

Well, what's wrong?

I mean Dad and his whore nurse.

Okay, Katya...

Mom, how could he? You were pregnant.

-How could he do all this?
-That's enough. Calm down.

-Tanya and I made it worse for you, Mom.
-Katya, stop this.

Has it gone on long?

A while.

And what? Are you getting a divorce?

No. Of course not.

Why?

Well...

Because...

Because it's not sensible.
And every family can experience...

some kind of crisis.

And it's partly my fault.
I didn't spend much time with you.

It's tough now, of course.
But it's all in the past.

And Dad is, of course, worried.

But, I think, it'll all work out.

Don't give me this sensible bullshit.

He's an asshole, Mom.

-Hi.
-Are you in charge of Martynova's case?

-Yes, Vera.
-Let me see it.

To tell the truth, it doesn't look like
they've been working hard.

Half of the forensic report's missing.

-And you?
-Me, what?

Are you fucking around too?

Or will you actually try?

I'll try to find out what I can.

Some tea?

Right, you need to go around
and interview truck drivers.

They could've met them on the highway
or seen something.

Nobody checked back then.

-It's useless.
-What's useless?

A year has passed. Who'd remember?
We need to try something else.

What?

I'll talk to field officers in the area.
Someone may've shared some details.

It often happens
with these kinds of cases.

I understand it's a personal matter.
I'll keep you posted.

Okay then.

-Mom, we're waiting for you.
-I won't be long.

All right. Kisses, sweetheart, bye!

Marina, you shouldn't have gone so late.
They won't let you visit him.

Tyoma, I'll just look at him.
It'll ease up my mind.

I talked to the doctor.

They assured me everything's fine.
Nothing to worry about.

-Tyoma...
-As you wish.

Why is Mom visiting the baby without me?

It's late now.
Next time she'll take you with her.

For sure.

Now, finish your drawing,
it's time to go to bed.

-Didn't you see she was getting drunk?
-We split up to make it quicker.

-Turn the light off.
-How will we get the body out of here?

"How"? First, we'll dig it out.

Then I'll pull up the car.
We'll load it and be off.

Great plan, Marina.

Shut up, Galya! Give this to me now!

-Where did she get this from?
-From a shop.

Why are you yelling at me, huh?
Do you think it's easy to be here?

-I found it, and she didn't do a thing.
-Be quiet, Galya!

Stop.

This way.

Her name was Alyona.

Fuck.

Come on, Galya.

You are so kind, Anatoliy.

Steady, steady.

Hi.

Damn. I woke you.

I thought I was quiet. Good morning.

Damn.

Was I super-drunk yesterday?

I'm sorry.

It was you who called me and came over.

-I didn't get you drunk.
-No, that's not what I meant... Did...

you and I...

-I just got too stressed.
-It's okay.

What's up?

-Where are you going?
-To sort out your business.

-What business?
-To get the body.

Here, take the spade.

So many people die.

-She was a nice person, I was told.
-Give me a hand.

Take it.

It's a mistake.

Did I tell you everything?

Half the night you spent telling me
about your sister and your mother.

Don't you remember anything?

I told her to take a photo.

Go to hell, both of you.
I don't want to see you ever again!

It's not my fault. She got shitfaced.

You!

-Go to hell!
-Traitors!

Hey!

You bitches!

Bitch!

No, I remember.

It's just that a lot's been going on.

Hello.

Anatoliy?

I feel so awful.

-Do you think you can do it?
-Why not?

Do you know how many unclaimed bodies
there are now? I'll find out and call you.

Wait.

You are not going to the police, are you?

Galya, who do you think I am?

-I'm just scared.
-Don't be scared.

I'm here for you. It'll be fine.

Yeah...

Get some breakfast, I've made some coffee.

-Well, I'm off.
-See you.

-Are we going to visit the baby now?
-Yes, we are.

Hello.

Just a moment. Marina!

It's Galina about a funeral request.

Thank you.

Hello?

Sorry I called on the landline.
You weren't picking up.

I did everything.

Galina...

You know what...

You cancelled your order twice already.

So I'd advise you to place your order
with another place.

Marina, wait! I'm telling you,
I did everything.

We'll have the body today.

Right, I can't talk right now.
I'll call you back later. Okay?

Goodbye.

All right, see you.

Galya!

-What's up? Are you drunk again?
-No.

I sorted it out.
Today, a guy will deliver a body to us.

-What guy, Galya?
-It doesn't matter.

You have your connections. I have mine.
He's a reliable man.

Do you need a body or not?

-Okay, when?
-Tonight.

I'll call you.

Hi.

Hello.

What do you want from me? Leave me alone.

We just want to clear up some details.

I won't talk to her.
I've said everything already anyway.

Very well.

I'll just stand here
and won't say a thing.

Talk to him.

Can you tell me, please,
if you know this person?

No, I don't.

But your colleagues tell us
he came by a lot.

Maybe they have a lot of free time
to look around. I'm busy working.

What about this girl, do you know her?

-You already showed me this photo.
-Yes, and you said you didn't know her.

-I don't know her.
-Well...

Maybe now you'll recognize her.

In this video?

Why are you showing me this?
This is not our hotel.

And I've told you that I don't know her.

Why are you getting stressed?

Whose idea was it to send this girl
to the banker?

Yours or Misha's?

Leave me alone, will you?

-Young man...
-Yes?

Please leave. Please, go!

Galya...

I'll prove that she died on your shift.
Misha is on the wanted list.

And when we find him, he'll rat on you
just like that, to get a shorter sentence.

I'm going to call your superiors now.

Go on, call.

Listen, Vera. If I hadn't ratted on you,
you'd have the case closed by now.

-Sorry, I'm so dumb.
-Well, stop it. Okay?

You're not dumb.

But...

Just chickenshit.

Let's go.

All right, I don't get it.
And who is driving now?

I am.

Come on. Get over here.
Don't you smash my car.

-I hardly drank anything.
-No, no. I don't trust you.

-Isakov, stop staring at me like this.
-Like what?

I mean it, I'm not mad at you.
That's it. I've forgiven you.

-I've forgiven you.
-Have you really?

Yes, I have. Get in here.

Can I hold him?

Well, no, sweetheart. Look how tiny he is.

It's better for him to stay there.

Can you see how many
little tubes he's got there?

What are we going to call him?

I don't know.

-We'll chose a name when he's discharged.
-Are you sure they'll let him out?

Cops came. Had Sveta's passport and video.
Misha's on the run. Call me!

-Are you sure they'll let him out?
-Of course, of course.

Mom, I love you.

Mom!

Tanya, honey, stay here for a minute.
I'll be right back. Okay?

Hi, Marina. Misha is on the wanted list.
Do you think they'll find him?

They sure will. Then Zhenya.
It's only a matter of time.

Damn. What do we do?

-What about the body?
-They'll tell on us. About the basement.

Galya, I'm asking you,
what about the body?

-It'll be delivered tonight. Cancel it?
-Galya, we're not cancelling anything.

-We'll solve the problems as they arise.
-Okay.

That's all. Keep in touch.

Damn.

What? What are you doing?

-Right, get out of here!
-Please, check if he's all right?

-Nothing's damaged?
-No.

-You almost turned the incubator off.
-Why did you do this?

I'm asking you, why did you do it?

I wanted to touch him
and my arm got caught.

I'm sorry, Tanya. I just got stressed.

Let's go to a play center
if you want, okay?

Well, go and wait for me outside, okay?

Katya, you have to stay a bit longer.
You lost a lot of blood.

Yes, I understand, it's not fun.
It's boring.

We talked with your mom
and if you want, we can get a TV.

Can you tell your mistress
not to come here again?

You seem to have always been with us,
with Tanya and me.

But you are a traitor.

You betrayed us all.

Katya, don't be like this.

You're all that matters to me.

It's very complicated.

-You'll understand it later.
-I'm a fool.

Actually, it's very simple.

Petya, can you come over?

-Why did you drink it all?
-That's it.

Right.

Since you've been so good today...

-Go and buy another one.
-Damn, Vera.

I'm shitfaced. Why do we need more?

You are being a sissy again.

-Fine.
-Come on.

FUNERAL SERVICES

-Hello.
-Hi.

Anatoliy.

Can I take a look?

-Are you sure nobody will look for her?
-Sure thing.

Unclaimed. She was from a poor family.
A drug addict.

Okay. In there.

-Here you are.
-No. No need for that.

-As long as your mom stops worrying.
-Why not, you did a good job. Take it.

He took a risk by the way.

All right then.

So, Galya the breadwinner.

PEDIATRICS DEPARTMENT

Hi there.

I'm all right.

Where's Maksim?

Hey, give my keys back.

-Get out.
-Get out where?

That's it.

-I'm going home.
-Get out!

Hey? What's up... Easy! Hands off!

Where do you live?

Leave me alone, will you?

Fedya.

You have a shitty name.

Come on, show me the way.

That way.

Okay.

What are you doing? Do you want me to walk
on the road with a stroller?

Sorry.

-We'll just finish unloading and leave.
-Shame on you!

Be careful.

Come on!

Right, come on.

Galya, I'll break your freaking nose!

-Grab her by the feet firmly!
-Hold here, it's not so scary.

I don't need you to tell me.

Won't she, like, go bad here?

It's 41 degrees here in the fridge
and 35 at the morgue. Almost the same.

-What do you want us to do now?
-Nothing right now.

-So, for the first time, your plan worked.
-This is how you say thank you?

Come off it, Galya.
You did a good job, really.

-Park it right here.
-What, here?

Yes, right here.

-This entrance?
-Yes, this one.

-Are you okay to walk alone?
-I'm okay.

-Are you sure?
-Yes I am.

-Let me help you.
-I know the code.

It's four...

Seven

Four.

Let me walk you there.

Why are you insisting?

Come on, go!

Look at this gentleman!

Easy.

Shit.

Is this your apartment?

It is.

Who is there?

It's me.

-Go away. I don't welcome strangers.
-Mom! It's me, Vera.

-Open the door, please.
-Please leave! I'll call the police!

Mom, slide the latch.

Go away.

So.

She won't let me in.

-Go away! I said, I won't open the door.
-Good evening.

I'm your local police officer,
Igor Mikhaylovich.

Here is my ID.

Open the door, please.
I was told that...

some suspicious people
have been going around apartments.

Did any of them come here?

-Yes, they did.
-So, you see.

I need to get a written statement.
Open the door, please.

-Hello.
-Hello.

-Igor Mikhaylovich...
-Mom...

Vera, honey. Igor Mikhailovich wanted
to take a statement.

-What's with it?
-He's already got what he needs.

-Yeah?
-Let's go in. Go, go, go.

Thank you, Igor Mikhaylovich.

-Bye.
-Good night.

Thank you.

Marina, Katya knows everything...
about Nika.

She's right.

It's very simple.

I betrayed everyone.

Deceived everyone.

You, her, and Tanya.

But children feel everything.

Tyoma, come on.

Don't. She loves you so much.

It's all going to be good.
Soon we'll move to that new house.

We'll take the baby.

It'll get sorted. Okay?

Well, did you find anything?

There is...

one option not far from here.

Well, show it to me then.

Here.

It's only three bedrooms,
but there's a guest house for Mother.

And here is another option.

This one.

It's a townhouse. There are neighbors.

And the backyard is small.
But it's a large gated community.

There's a daycare on the premises.
You won't need to drive.

And there's a school nearby.
