LEAVE OF ABSENCE
— Want one? — Thanks.
Guys, lend me a couple of thousand for my son’s gift?
It's his birthday today.
I’ve spent everything on the funeral.
I don’t have any.
I’ve got one thousand. I can give it to you...
...for such an occasion. Sounds alright?
Here, take it.
When are you burying your father?
Tomorrow.
Why are these bandits so angry?
Because since childhood, they didn’t want to be healed.
Poor fellows, now they hurt all over. And they are terribly angry.
That’s all I have, honestly.
Well, what should we do?
Dasha, I’ll give you back the money for child support. I promise. Soon.
What should we do? He’s your son.
I have to pay off the funeral debt first.
What good are you to us then?
Can I swallow it?
No way.
We will heal you!
Here, government forces encountered well-trained...
...and equipped terrorist units
...that had long been preparing for conflict.
They skillfully used their knowledge...
...of the region’s geographical attributes, in order
...to shield from attacks from artillery and aircraft.
And in places where the Syrian military...
...could not manage,
...Russian specialists provided the necessary resources.
In the dead of the night,...
...they disrupted the military operations of the radicals.
They did not allow for the terrorists...
...to carry out their plans of suicide car bombings.
For the first time ever, we have this footage on air.
How long do you need time off for?
— I don't know. — How can you not know?
You have to decide.
Let's go with half a year.
No. We cannot hold your position for that long.
How about a couple of months?
I can offer you thirty calendar days. Does that work?
Yes.
Good. Go to the HR department then and complete the paperwork.
They’ll sort it for you.
