STAR MEDIA presents ANTON FEOKTISTOV So, what's up? Everything's fine? Anxiety causes digestion problems.
Sit down and relax. OLGA LERMAN I gambled away. Utter frustration! Everyone loses. I've been told Misha is a tough guy.
With him you need to keep your eyes open. They jinxed me! Don't get so upset: you'll be winning
again before the sunrise. Deal the cards. Come on, don't linger on! Damn it! Why are you so worried, for God's sake!? I think our hero is way too anxious. How are you, young man? Ok, I will try to pull myself together. EDUARD PARRY FILM CARDSHARP Based on the written
works of A. BARBAKARU Written by MAKSIM BELOZOR Look. Excuse me, but I got really lucky! It's your day. The next day
will be ours. How about Friday? There will be no Friday. I'm always at your disposal. Producer EDUARD PARRY Director of photography ILYA MELIKHOV Until next time! Where do you live? In a high-riser at
Kotelnicheskaya Street. Let me give you a lift, I've got a car. Thank you very much,
but I will take a taxi. Why would you do it at night
with suck money on your hands? Let's go, my dear. It makes me feel uncomfortable. – Not to worry — it's on my way.
– Thank you very much. Please, get in. These are friends. Hi! What are you doing? Check his pockets. Check the lower ones. I don't have anything. Voloshyn Konstantin Georgievich. You told your name is Misha, didn't you? What a stinker! I have been working on this for a month,
and this brat has messed it all up! Let's go! Guys, I did not know anything! Give me the money! Go ahead! What the hell are you doing? Producers ARTEM DOLLEZHAL & VLAD RYASHYN Moscow, 1979 EPISODE 1 Good morning! Hi! Kostya, hello! Voloshyn, 40 minutes! It's inexcusable, Kostya. Look who's here! Good morning, colleagues! – Morning?
–Innokentiy Grigorievich... Valentina Ivanovna, it was an
unprecedented event, I swear! Besides, there were
special circumstances. What kind of circumstances? Mitigating circumstances.
Here you are, as promised. O'Henry? Kostya, where from? According to Andy Tucker, us,
young builders of communism, must uncover hidden resources. What a blabber! "Glory to labor". Innokentiy Grigorievich,
in your age you should be more serious. A professional gift. New pencils... You are
a scallywag, anyway! Tanya. Come on. Voloshyn, please... Here you are! Polish perfume... "Maybe". Voloshyn,
did you rob the consignment shop? For real, Kostya, where
are you getting this from? A better question is where do you get the
money from? Do you print the false ones? Innokentiy Grigorievich,
why would I bother to do that if there is more than enough real money? Kostya, let's go somewhere tonight? Where? "Metelitsa", for example.
I know a bartender from there. Tanya, tonight I can't — I'm way too busy. Did you find a girlfriend? Sure. Science is my girlfriend. Konstantin, you should have
defended your thesis long time ago. Mom, this is for you. Wash your hands and let's eat. Look at that! I thought the
holiday is a good enough reason. Your hands! What do you want? Everything! Cool! Remember, dad liked
to celebrate in the morning? Once he and uncle Lyonya
were drunk before 11 a.m.! Mu God... Don't remind me of this. What's wrong with it? Drinking is fine. It was uncle Lyonya's fault:
he has brought some Cuban rum and told our dad, "Since you were a sailor,
you must drink rum." Do you remember that they went
to the beach afterwards? Yes. Those drunk idiots almost drowned you. – They were teaching me swimming.
– Right... One grabbed me by the ears,
another one by the legs. I was screaming,
"Dad, I've got water up my nose!" And he said, "Work your hands like
an amphibian." I barely escaped! I wanted to kill both of them! Let's drink to dad. Okay. To daddy, and to us. I wonder if he's celebrating. Mom? Mom? Mom, what's up? I can't take this anymore. Not much longer. What are you saying? Don't you realize that it's impossible? He will stay there, and we'll remain here. We will visit him, I promise you. They won't let us leave.
I wasn't even allowed to go to Bulgaria. You don't even stand a chance
considered the job you have. They have put little black
crosses in front of our names. It means we'll have to change names. How is it possible? I will score! Nikita, go ahead! Come on! Nikita, do it! Tanya, it's me. I must meet
my relatives at the station. I will come in 40 minutes. Okay. He's going to the Kiev train station. Okay. Hello! Final station. Please
hand in the bed sheets. – Let me help you, please.
– Thank you very much! What a bastard! Thief, foul soul! Give way! Go there! Stop! What are you doing? Are you blind? It is not my fault! Police! Help me, those people have guns! What guns? – Big guns! Over there!
– Where? What is the matter? What did you see? – Spare some money, dear.
– One moment. What seems to be the
problem? Everything is fine. Stop! Lida, when do we arrive
to Odessa, at night? Didn't I tell you already? We
arrive in the morning. Try this. Excuse me, is this
train headed to Odessa? What, you don't know what train you
took? Yes, it goes straight to Odessa. Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats
and prepare your tickets. Tickets, please! Irochka, my dear, how many
champagne bottles do we have? – 10.
– Okay, I write 9. Head of the Odessa
railroad Tikhomirov N. M. – How many bottles of cognac?
– 9. 9? Very good. I believe it is
enough. We aren't working yet. I'm aware of it. This is
the reason why I'm here. – And...
– Wait a minute. Your name? Kuripko. – That's right, Kuripko.
– What is the matter? Paint a picture, comrade Kuripko! What? What does it mean? – You weren't given a notice, were you?
– No. What a mess! What's the train number? It's a fast train Moscow-Odessa № 78. – That's right, № 78. Please sit down.
– Thank you... Komsomol Railroad Managemen instructor
Voloshyn. Are you a party member? I am. I mean, of course... According to the order of the
Head of the railroad, comrade Tikhomirov we examine the quality of service
on the trains before the Olympics. Did you read the order of
comrade Tikhomirov? What? – It's over there.
– It is hung by the door... Are you joking?
The Second Secretary of the regional party committee
is supervising this event. Do you realize the seriousness
of the matters? Yes... We are especially interested
in the foodservice outlets. Is the kitchen-stuff fresh? Of course it is fresh!
Everything is fresh... – Should I check?
– No need to check? All is fine. – Bring the menu, please.
– Why do you need it? We know the order.
We have fed Zykina and... Raikin. And Raikin, too! Everything will be fine.
Irochka, bring our special menu, please. – Please enjoy your meal!
– Thank you. – Irinka, tell me who that guy is?
– Voloshyn. – Who?
– Wait, Syoma. Voloshyn? Who is he? How do I know? Alexey Petrovich, let
go, please, I must bring a dessert. And how about us? You didn't bring us even a salad!
How long will this last? – Voloshyn...
– What about him? There is some Voloshyn in the
regional party committee, Syoma. Do you think it's him? Syoma, are you an idiot?
That one is my age. – So it's not him.
– I don't want to guess, I will ask. – Don't do it.
– Get off! – Do you mind?
– Please. Meleshko Alexey Petrovich, Second Secretary
of the regional party committee. Konstantin. Tell me, Konstantin, how is your father?
He hasn't been seen here for a while. It's hard for him to get out as
he's got a lot of responsibilities. I understand. Same for me:
plenary sessions, congresses... Are you going for a vacation? Vacation. I wanted to go to Varna, but father asked me to pay
a visit to the relatives. He is not to be disobeyed. Of course,
why would you disobey your father? Firstly, it's not good to forget about your
relatives. Secondly... Why such a dull lunch? Why? I don't like drinking alone. That's right!
The First Secretary likes saying, "Don't give us 900, give us 4 by 250." To your health, Konstantin! Tanya, I don't know. I will stay here
for a few days, maybe for a week. Tell them I'm taking a leave. Voloshyn, you will end up badly. I can't talk anymore. Tell Valentina
Ivanovna it's family emergency. You might get fired because
of this. Where did you go? Odessa.
Tanya, I beg you, don't tell anyone. Don't let them know
where I am, okay? Kiss you. Bye. What this time? Hello? Hello, mom? Mom? Madam,
it got disconnected again. Wait a minute. Your
number doesn't respond. Try again, please. Did you decide to stay, Konstantin? I wanted to call my mother. You'll call her from Odessa. Look what I
have bought. Are you playing? Sometimes. So? It will leave without us! – Alexey Petrovich, let me help you.
– Run, run! Through those water melons away! Come on, faster! Don't worry, we are fine!
Madam, do not worry, it's okay! Hero-city Odessa Alexey Petrovich, excuse
me, but we have arrived. Get off, Ravikovich! Look out of the window.
I'm leaving. I don't care. Damn it! 60 rubles, Konstantin. Alexey Petrovich,
I told you I wouldn't take. Stop messing about! Go, already! – No, Alexey Petrovich, I can't.
– You will. No, I will not. Dear Odessites and city visitors, we'd
like to offer you a sightseeing tour... Konstantin, you have my number, so make
sure you call me if you have any problems. Come visit me, too. Let me give you a lift? Alexey Petrovich, I'll go by foot. I
haven't been to the city for so many years. Vitya, take this water-melon
already! Okay, go now. Say your father hi from me.
I'd like to see him here. Thank you very much. Not at all. We should play again. My friends like it very much,
so you should meet them. Be ready! Come back, now! Better go watch TV! Are you blind? What are you waiting for?! Stop. What's in the bag? – I don't know.
– Give it to me. Please. – Show me your papers.
– Why? Criminal investigator Pysarenko.
Papers, fast! Here you are. – Kostya?
– Pysar! Kostya! Did you change your family name? – It doesn't work?
– It will work. Listen, who was that? Chita? Chita, bastard! He's selling
jeans in the train station. Brand jeans? Not at all! Look at them. Montana. Good pants. In Moscow
they cost 120. Good cotton. Cotton? It's shit. Watch. It's just a half. So? Couldn't find him. He must have
run through the park or elsewhere. Okay. Go to the office
and take care of this. Sasha, if Tolstiy inquires,
tell him I'm around. Will do. I did military service, made tribute
to my Homeland. What could I do after? I searched here and there. My father
advised me to enroll to a police academy. One of his friends is a major, head of a
combat maneuver unit. A real bitch though! It was my chance, so I took it.
My salary is 140 now. – I've just received it today.
– Not bad! Not bad! When I get a few more stars
I'll be getting more perks on top of that. No letters. What a stench! Stop doing
that, it'll ruin your vision! Why did you come? What are you welding? – Don't touch it.
– Take it easy! Look who's with me. Don't you recognize? Clean up your glasses! – Do I know you?
– You are such an asshole, Pinkin! – Why is that?
– Because! – Edik, it's time to eat.
– I don't want, granny. I told you, come eat! I have
put everything on the table. Grandma, please! Good day to you, Esther Solomonovna! Who is this, Vova? Come eat with us. Esther Solomonovna, may I join as well? Kostya? How is Katya doing? Everything is fine. She said hi to you. Come, Edic! Come now! Come,
everyone, don't make me angry! – Kostya...
– Kostya! Kostya, it's you! Lyusia, go away! Shoo! Lilia, I can't bear it anymore!
Let your boy run around for a bit. He's punished! Who is punished — him or us?!
I can't here this any longer! Redhead, stop it already! That's right. Granny Esther, is I was fed like
this, I would had a real big belly. Did you call? She didn't pick up.
She's probably not at home. – Call her in the evening.
– Will do. What is this? It's a videocassette
recorder. Made in Japan. Where'd you get it? It's something incredible. One guy brought
it from the trip, but it wouldn't work. So, you decided to ruin it
completely, is that right? Get off! I will show you something fantastic now. Here it is. – What is this?
– Video camera. Japan started producing them this year.
Even in Moscow nobody has such a thing. Let me show you something. What the hell! It uses a mag-tape,
just like a tape-recorder. You don't need to develop
a film before reviewing. – Cool, isn't it?
– Interesting. Does it magnify? Okay, let's
go to the seaside! – Let's go. I don't have swim briefs.
– We'll confiscate from someone. Guys, I must stay
back to finish my work. You can do it later. Why don't you wait for a bit?
I have a nice tape to watch — Dragon's Way with Bruce Lee. Also a concert in San Remo, Celentano. Pinkin, no movies for you! Go, go! My God! – He almost got mama killed!
– Is he still breathing? Yes, he seems to be... Look at this still-life painting! He ruined your goods, mama... This is not fair! Hey you, over there! There's a lot of wine in the saloon. Everyone drinks bottoms up! The violin is playing
the tango of flowers. Captain's daughter, Janel, Was twining like a snake. She was dancing the tango of flowers With Jerry the sailor. When a noble baron came there, Janel cast her spell on him... Thank you! You see how they are dressed?
In the short tops and miniskirts. No wonder they get dragged
into bushes! Is it normal? – Pinkin, make your move!
– No. Go ahead! You are our John Lennon, no? Tell them your old friend has come around.
There are three of them. – You do it!
– You are worthless! Kostya... – Who is that?
– Where? – Alla.
– Who's Alla? She's a singer. She's working in Krasniy.
But you shouldn't even try, she's tough. Really? Watch me, boy! Okay, we'll be around. Keep this. Lady, it's inexcusable.
Your beauty is preventing the working people from having a good rest. Blast off! Did you hear me?
Make yourself disappear. – How about...
– Forget it! Take a hike. Too bad. So? She's not ready
for serious relationships. – Stop it!
– Didn't I tell you? Enough! Look at that idiot. He's playing with
Ox. He'll be left without a penny. Who is Ox? It's that serious guy in a pink shirt. He plays an out-of-towner.
It's his spot. – He's from Odessa?
– Of course, just like me. Why don't you arrest him? The people agree to play willingly.
It can only count for a fine. – Pass.
– Pass. – Second pass.
– Diamonds. Queen, king, ace. It's a party. It's a hundred. – Pysar, did, you receive your salary?
– Yes, and so? – How much?
– 100. – Didn't you say 140?
– I took advance money. – Let me play.
– Are you out of your mind? Are you afraid I won't pay you back? Make sure I don't look for you tomorrow. You are crazy. Vova, you and Edik
must do whatever possible to prevent her from looking this way. Who, Alla? Why? Aren't you a policeman?
Don't you see she's giving signs to Ox? For real? Vova, what's up? What's wrong with these people?
I won 50, he paid me only 30! – People have no shame nowadays.
– That's true. No shame. – Do you play preference?
– No, poker, deberts. – Where are you from?
– I'm from Moscow. In Moscow it's called deberts,
same in Ivano-Frankovsk. But in Odessa it's called
clubber. Take a seat. With pleasure! – How hot it is today!
– Yes, it's unbearable. – So, would you like to play?
– Why not? – A quarter?
– Agreed. Or maybe a hundred? – But no more.
– As you wish. Please, deal the cards. – What is your name?
– Konstantin. And I am Zinoviy. Lady, what are you looking at? Pass. – Pass.
– Pass. Second pass. Go away! I know you! You are a singer from the
Krasniy! I remember some of your songs. Make yourself disappear! Let me see your binoculars. I
really like them! What is the matter? What a hooligan! Do you have trump? Hearts, please. One more hundred, please. Here you are. – Should we continue, maybe?
– Not today. Wow! It was a pleasure to
play with a man of honor. – Guys!
– What is the matter? It's all fine! Vova, here's your money. You did something extraordinary. We have earned 200 rubles. Everyone gets a 50,
the rest is common fund. – What for?
– For distracting Alla. – Where did you learn this?
– At the institute. I quickly realized you were lying
about the studies and dissertation. Why lying? It's true,
I defended my dissertation. I've been playing every day
until I mastered my skills. He pretends he's a sportsman. It's like playing a violin: constant
training is required! Let's celebrate. – He's a violinist, you see?
– Damn it! How much do you earn like this? Always differently. So, you are like Ox? People play
fairly, and you are cheating? Hey you, watch your mouth!
Aren't you the one stilling discs? I'm not stealing, I'm collecting. Start collecting something else,
holy man! Stamps, for example. The party has assigned us a mission —
to go over the last year's quota. As you understand, Sverdlovskiy's
order is not to be ignored. The time limits are rigid.
Who are you looking for? Voloshyn. By the way, Valentina Ivanovna, why do you let workers take
vacations in such a hot period? Voloshyn has got a reasonable
excuse, Evgeniy Anatolievich. I know his reasons!
Voloshyn doesn't care about our goals. He's absent.
Please close the door, we have a meeting. Please take to your close
attention that Sverdlovskiy's order must be executed
in the best possible way...
