Let's go, Volodya.
-All the best toyou. -Good luck.
Good luck.
-Vitya, are you coming? -yeah, Ok.
Well, brother.
Sash, what if you give it a second thought?
Pchelkin, all of us are pretty smart guys, so don't push it.
Ok, you are my brother anyway.
- Let's takeyou totheAirporrt. -Guys will give me a ride.
Always count on your mind, Bee.
Take Vitya to the Airporrt, help him and give me a call.
Let's go.
Sash, what a crook is Bee. He lets down our guys, works with blackies.
That bastard doesn't feel guilty. He's not Bee, he's a bug.
Cosmos, we shouldn't be speaking about our friend thatway,
but on a wide scaleyou are right.
Nobody knows what will in the end, Sasha.
-You, fucken, remember my word. -Go, ahead, great.
Bee is our brother. Did you forget, because if you did, l always can remind you.
Let's go.
What's wrong with my watch?

-So, what? - Private Dshyraev had served his time.
Well, let's gather sometime! Good luck, guys!
l'm upset that we have to part, l have this nagging feeling.
Come on, stop it. One philosopher said,
lf the souls of people are alive, parting equals to the denial of the separation.
Again, Farik.
l'm gonna come and visit you in Moscow.
Pay attention to the camera. You better hold it evenly.
Will you remember me?
Yes, sir! Hold it.
ls it Ok? It's pretty dreary, anyway.
Lena, l'm coming!
l spent almost two yeahrs in Afghanistan, and in Spring we came back home!
l saw Mom and my house! l saw my girlfriend that was vey happy!
She was laughing, but...
...the war was going on over there.
he passing by a deserted canyon is subjected to shooting again;
three soldiers are left to lie forever on those rocks.
The same stuff might have happened to any of us the next day.
She's laughing and the war is going on over there, the war is going on...
Lena!
-These fighters are lucky, they are home. Safe and sound!
-Hurray! Hurray!
-The boarder lies here in the middle of the bridge.

-That's ok. -Oh! Oh! Oh, dear Lord!
It's all, done! Done! That's it!
Cosmos, where did you get this car from?
Guys, it is Lincoln.
-What's there, what's there? Wait. Who? -What's wrong?
Relax; this kind of car has only Michael Jackson and me.
- Michael Jackson is a black guy. -So what. What's wrong with that?
- Pchelkin, are you a racist or what? -Who? Me? l'm not just a racist, l'm the racist!
Got it, you stinky, dirty negro?
Share up! Share up!
- Did you draw the fire on your own? -Andy Wahl.
-What's that? -What, what?
He's the best American artist. You are a hill-billy.

Sasha Belov arrived gimme a ruble! Gimme a ruble!
-What? -Come on. A ruble!

Mom, have you seen Yleseev's lately? Mom?

Because l dialed their number a couple oftimes but nobody picked up the phone.

-Sash, what were you doing over there? - He was laying eggs.

Sash, do you remember how you wanted to jump from the ski-trampoline.
- Not true! -lt is.
No way!
Yes way, remember we sent a red-haired guy to bring skates!
C'mon, l've changed in the Army, but not to that point!
You better tell us what are you gonna do afterwards?

and afterwards I want to attend the College of Mines...
what's wrong? ln theArmy l read most of the books in the library.
-Chukchi man likes to read. -C'mon, stop it.
-l see, Sash you'refar from being contemporary. - Preach a little, come on.
No-ah, what a...
Tell me, what kind of books? For instance my Dad is a Professor of Astrophysics.
There is no way.
Well, well. See, l'm asking you what is the most important thing nowadays?
lf you'll answer that it's money you'll be punched.
No-ah, ah... here is the most imporrtant thing.
- Never aim a gun at anybody. -And you believe that it's library.
Now make a lot of money, and my poor Dad spends his life working for nothing.
-What the hell for do l need education? -Are you guys gangsters, or what?
Gangsters, we ain't gangsters.
Sash, listen over here, there are such things going on Rishku rail station.
All brotherhoods are hanging out over there. Bee and me, too.
Yes.
We are pretty big people. D'you wonna join us?
- Hell no. - Phil will join later.
- Hey, don't count on me, l haven't decided yet. -Well be the most powerful brigade.
- Here Sash, take it, for a while. - Bee, l don't need that.
Just take it. Hello, stop! Where?
That's it. Baddies, gotta go, I wonna see Lena today, too.
Oh, wait, wait. Such girls are waiting for us. Some fine babes!
Tomorrow. I want to see Lena. l missed her, guys.
-Ok, wait. Listen here. We need to talk. -Something wrong?
- First of all, they have moved. - Really, and I tried to call her.
-So where did theymove? - Don't know. Anyway, just try to stay calm, Ok?
-l'll tell you the whole truth. -Come on, you're beating around the bush.
She is a prostitute now.
Give it to me, it's mine!
Stop it, you guys! Fucken stop it!
-l'll kill you! - Enough, White! Be quiet!
You are africk, White! Where do l come in?
-Who? -Sergeant Belov.
- Doyou know what time is it? -C'mon Bee, l've got something to talk about.
-l've got a chick over here. -Get dressed.
-So, are you gonna bit me up, or what? -C'mon, let's go.
Let me put on my pants.
How do you manage to get up so early?
Give me a cigarette.
-Tell me everything. -What kind of shit d'you smoke?
What can l say? Too bad that you got into a fight with him,
isn't it better to learn this information from your friends rather than from your enemies?
Anyway. Lena moved to Lyberci and we lost touch with her.
Once there was a fight because of her.
We went there, discussed all the stuff.
Afterrwards we went to a pub and she was sitting there with four guys.
Cos told her something, she had blushed.
Then we found out that she started working as a model
and afterwards continued her career as a prostitute.
-Where is that spot? -Come on, Sash. She's just a chick, you know.
That's it. Don't preach. Where have you seen her?
lt's up to you, brother.
Look, metro ''the Noggin's Square'' there is a public garden over there. That's it.
Vey handsome! Some fine guy! There aren't such!
-ls he tall? - No, a short one.
-Are his eyes brown? Brown eyes? - My God, his ears stick out...
Lena!
- Let's go, we're late. Who is that? -You go. l'll be in a minute. Go, go.
Don't be late, Lena.
-Are you surprised? -Sash, just let's solve this without a scandal. Ok?
- How? -What doyou mean, how? Let's speak calmly.
Let's kiss; we haven't seen each other for ages.
That's dump. Too much time has gone by. l'm sory, it's just the way it is.
All those years l couldn't get you out of my mind.
And you are saying, ''lt's just the way it is.''
Sasha, Sash, why are you doing that?
What do you mean, why? Why am l doing that? What the hell did you do Lena?
- Ha? What did you do? - Don't touch me. l'll have bruises!
Bruises, l see.
-Who is that frick? -l don't know. He came just out of the blue.
Fly, calm down.
-What is he talking about? - Nothing really: Lena, Lena.
- Hey, dummy! Back off! -This guy?
Sasha, please, don't.
ls it that hard to understand? l said, come up to me!
-Sasha, please, don't do that, Sash! -Come on here!
Sasha, Sasha!
What the fuck do you want from her? Get out of here, you sucker.
-l've told you, haven't l! -Come on, White!
Hey, c'mon.
Stop!
Get up! Get up! Let's get the hell out of here!
Where is that pig, ha?
The fine one speaks with olds.
lt's getting pretty boring. Bee, do you think l should fight a little?
Are you Ok?
yeah, it's jaw that hurts a little. l'll be back here.
We still don't know what will this incident end up with.
l told you. l didn't solve this with Lena.
Oh, Sasha...Oh.
Where have you been, buddy?
Hello.
News number one: is this knuckleduster yours?
yeah, it is.
Yesterday you broke the head of one of the main guys over there. Fly by name.
News number two: 2 hours ago their guys spoke to ours.
They want you, Sasha, they want your head until Friday.
See. If they won't find you, they get rid of me.
So what are we gonna do? l don't fricken know what should l do.
Hey, handsome...who do you stake on?
On the cat. l have seen that pall from west he was so dead.
-What are you talking about? - How come you ain't in the bushes?
We conduct fights, ''How the dragon gets out.'' Have you seen it? Watch it sometime.
-We have them going eveyday in the salon. -We have our own salon.
- Fly virrtually turned on the video. -Your cousin is the crazy Joe.
By theway, how is he doing?
He's Ok. Lying at home, his head cross-belted and watching ''Rambo. The First Blood.''
l've seen it. Such a great movie. He was darning his hand by himself.
yeah, and when are we gonna see that guy?
We'll wait till tomorrow. Afterrwards we knife them.
Hey, fellas, l'm late but l got some beer with me!
That's fine, good, the beer is here.
No, Seyog, it took you forever to get it.
lt's not my fault that the stall was closed.
Gotta go... oh, new stuff. Better late than never.
What?Are you dumb?
-What's going on? -What's wrong with you, guys?
He is the dead man who beat up your brother.
Hey!
You know what l gotta go the district office.
You guys solve the problem on your own.
What the hell? Are you chicken to get dirty? You, cop.
C'mon you're our pal. You'll watch the show and tell Fly about it.
Wait. Let him tell us what he wanted to say.
What's wrong with you, Shved, Iet's just get done with him.
You guys surely know what is this incident all about
so there is no point in explaining what was the thing and stuff.
But this is only between Fly and me.
Now you've got two options, either you kill me now, or we solve this on our own.
lt's up to you.
The entire city will know that l came, to you guys, to speak...
l knew what I was doing when l came to your territory.
Because nobody would give a shit for my life.
The thing is what will the people say,
if they say that one of us is a sucker why would we live afterwards.
Right?
Sasha, are you nuts? What do you we are?
First of all, stop yelling, now. Secondly, do you want to be murdered?
-lt's my fault and l'll solve this. -What the hell were you thinking about?!
- Fly will rip you into pieces! -Only me and him, not three against one.
- Eveyrything should be fair. -Thank God, you're still alive!
Hey, back of, l'm fricken tired of you!
Sash, you're not right. You shouldn't be going alone.
You don't know those guys they are totally nuts.
yeah, goodjob Sanya.
lt was pretty dumb to go alone because they obviously could kill you.
Anyway. l answered for myself. That's it.
Do you remember that we are friends since elementary school?
lf we do something, we pay the price together! Heck, we are a brigade!
Go to hell with your brigade! l don't care about the ''brigade''!
l know my friends, that it! Fricken brigadier.
Mom, let's get a dog.
Why do we need a dog? Do you want it to guard the washing machine?
No, just to have a friend.
l had two dogs in theArmy, the name of the second one was Olive.
Such a cool dog. He could talk, can you imagine that?
And what happened with the first one?
He got sick with plague and died.
See, God forbid if new one dies too.
Such a sorrow.
We will have to look after it.
But you know what's the main advantage of having a dog that eliminates all disadvantages.
Dog won't say it loves you and after that sleep around with different people.
-l am not going to eat, mom. -Sweety!
Oh Lord, what a tragedy.
Yeleseeva, Yeleseeva! You won't believe me. Listen, where are you running, stop!
Here, hold.
Fly and your ex-boyfriend are gonna fight today.
Where?
How do l know?
What is the difference, the thing is that guys are ready to choke each other to death for you.
l wish they fought for me. Let me have a bite.
Sash, look what l've found. Let's hang it.
Ok.
-Where are you going? -l'm going to the library, mom.
What a son l have. By the way l've got a certificate for you.
Do you really want to night classes?
l'm too late for morning classes. But since we don't have a business l need to make money.
Ok, mom, bye.
- Hello. - Hello. You grew a lot.
Hello, speak please.
Why are silent? Speak! Well, it's up to you.
What, Sanya, gym, gym?
l'm so nervous. l remember last year Fly ripped three guys into pieces.
One of those dudes was taken to the Sklif.
The other one lost his mind: he became a moron
with saliva all over, he sings ''Murka.''
yeah. Fly is a pretty dangerous guy.
Thank you, friends. You always know to support me.
Thanks, thanks.
Come on, Sanya!
You'll be fine. Fly likes to show off, keep it in your mind.
That guy has a narrow chest.
Look here, this is Fly! Hello my little Fly, my dear little Fly!
Dear, dear Fly! Hello my little Fly and goodbye!
Fly! We are in the place!
What's, brothers!
Sash take off your jacket.
What's up Fly? Get done with him, and have beer?
Here, help me.
Sash, do not get nervous or anything. Pump up.Hit accurately. Breathe steadily.
As soon as he gets down strike him. Go, brother.
Hey, clown, areyou ready to guzzle dirt?
You will do that instead of me!
C'mon Fly, kill him!
Cosmos...keep arms on the torso. Ok?
What the hell there aren't any bullets there.
What's up, you, bastard?
Stay calm. Chill down. Sash, come on, come on. Escape, escape.
- Beat him up, White! -Come on, hammer!
Murder him, Sanya!
Go, Sanya, Go! Go! Sanya!
Close you rfly, otherrwise l can rip off your something by chance!
Not a big deal, we'll sew it on, guys will help!
- Kill him, Fly, kill him! -Come on!
- Finish him, Sanya! -Where, stay! Stand still!
-Go, White, rip him into parts! -C'mon! C'mon!
Enough dancing! Finish up!
Be quiet, be quiet!
C'mon, kill him! C'mon!
Wait, stay away.
Guys, that's enough!... Everything is done honestly!
When l see you next time, l'll fucken kill you!
Guys, stop! It's over!
Sash, want some beer?
What the hell are you doing here? Why are you here?
l don't get it. Get out, go away... get the hell out.
Cosmos, back off!
No, Sanya l don't get this maybe you wonna marry her?
Let's go.
Sash, is that Fly?
-Sash. -What?
Two years is a lot of time, it's too much time. It's not my fault.
Whose fault is it? Whose fault is it?Whose?
Explain it to me, maybe I just don't understand anything.
lf you cheated on me, you might have written me a letter letting me know what's going on.
l was such a fool, I was so happy that l'm gonna see you.
l couldn't even eat and sleep.
l thought as soon as l come back l'll marry you.
Sash, do you want to fuck me?
What?
What a righteous man! He served his term honestly, and his girlfriend betrayed him!
C'mon fuck me, right here! You want to do that, right?
Did you fuck Fly lately?
Sasha, l'm so sorry l don't realize what am l saying.
Forgive me, please. Please, forgive me. Sash, darling l love you, see.
Get out of my life, that's it! That's it!
Sasha! Sasha!
Congratulations on becoming a senior lieutenant of the Police Deparrtment!
For little colonel! Go! Go! Let's hope it's not the last one!
Finish it up and you'll become a general! Go! Come on! Good for you!
Where are you going, Andrey? Come back! Don't be absent too long!
My congratulations...Can we talk?
Just a second.
-What's up with the uniform? -A holiday. Did you bring it?
l copied '' Rambo. First Blood.'' This is your share.
-What the fuck? -lt's just that l have to go.
-What's wrong? -lt's all good.
l just wanted to tell you, that the conflict between that dude and Fly is resolved.
-l think he did a good job. -l don't want to hear anything.
Fly is my cousin. Got it? l didn't like Belov.
l am not going to stand him. l'll find away to get rid of him.
-You don't mind, don't you? -lt is up to you?
