Servant of the People (Слуга народу)

PRESIDENTIAL ADMINISTRATION OF UKRAINE

Maidan is near!

Near is Maidan.

Lord Commander!

Yurii Ivanovich has just confessed.

He knows how to return Yanukovych's money to Ukraine.

Vasia, can you imagine? He has access codes to Yanykovych's accounts.

Do you think it will work?

I don't know, we'll see.

-Where is he? -Here.

SHAME

For the shame!

For the dollar to hryvnia rate, 1 to 30!

For the Lviv garbage!

For the terrible roads!

For the high utility rates!

For the Lithuanian license plates!

You too, Tolik?

For the amber!

The amber is not my fault.

SHAME

Go away!

What? Did you have a bad dream?

It was crap.

When did I fall asleep?

Do you remember me criticizing your friends?

No.

You fell asleep almost immediately.

-Do you want me to start over? -No.

What kind of friends are they? None of them has come.

It's okay. It's a working day.

I understand. Why haven't they even called?

I think they will.

I think they should show some respect.

After all, they got their jobs thanks to you.

Are you going to get up?

Do you want to oversleep your birthday?

I'm getting up.

I'm a bad housewife, but I think the table looks great.

I think it looks nice.

-May I? -Of course.

-Uncork the bottle. -Give it to me.

Where's the corkscrew?

I told you. I'm a bad housewife.

My dad has recalled that it's my birthday.

Say hi to your dad.

Hello, dad.

Vasia, my congrats to you.

I congratulate you on your son's birthday, too.

I told you, you had it coming.

Have you seen what's going on in your country?

It's outrageous.

I don't know what country you live in. My country is fine.

It's beautiful. Fresh air.

Nature!

Don't be stupid.

Turn on TV, slowpoke. There is Swan's Lake on every channel.

Maybe it's Tchaikovsky's birthday today.

Do you know when Swan's Lake was on TV last time?

When Gorbachev was kicked out.

Doesn't it make you think of anything?

Don't be ridiculous. Okay. Bye, kisses.

Vasia!

Ladies and gentlemen, I'm addressing you

on the moment that is crucial for the destinies

of Ukraine and entire global community.

Our country has stepped on the way of reforms

and found itself in the middle of a crisis.

As people concerned about the country's destiny, we can let it happen.

What's this?

According to the resolution of the government…

I have no idea.

…due to the Vasily Petrovich Goloborodko's inability

to fulfill the duties of the president of Ukraine…

Now I see why no one has come.

…based on the Constitution of Ukraine,

the president's duties will be temporarily fulfilled

by the State Committee of Emergency Situations.

It's absurd.

It's not absurd.

It's a coup.

The state of emergency has been declared throughout the country.

Please keep calm, everyone.

The situation is under our control.

I don't even know whom to call.

Whom to call? We need to run away.

Where are we going to run? From whom?

They are going to kill you.

Who's going to kill me? Mika? I got it.

-I'm coming with you. -Stay here.

Mika, what's going on?

Mr. President, you're under arrest.

THREE WEEKS EARLIER

Because I don't want it.

The air is terrible because of your ecology management.

Alright.

-What? -You need to sign this.

What's this?

It's from the Ministry of Healthcare.

What is it about?

They refuse to pay the salary arrears without the prime minister's signature.

I have a question. Is there life after Yurii Ivanovich's arrest?

Will my signature be enough?

-Absolutely. -Absolutely.

-Anything else? -The Ministry of Energy.

What do I have to do with the Ministry of Energy?

Transportation arrears.

Transportation arrears…

Your signature will be enough.

Okay. I won't argue.

They are not going to pay anyway.

-Why? -They need to pay the electricity debts.

How were they functioning before?

On the basis of Yurii Ivanovich's personal guaranties.

Should I let him out? Everything will come back to normal in our country.

Canada's prime minister will support you.

What?

"Political persecution is the sign of weakness of the new Ukrainian leadership."

Oh really? Wonderful. Now the prime minister of Canada as well.

He's not the only one. The German chancellor is concerned.

The US Congress, the president of France.

Everyone is concerned. Poor Yurii Ivanovich.

Poor political prisoner. Right?

Does no one care about the fact

that we sent the country's biggest thief to jail?

Yes! You are all thieves.

I will take care of you. Later!

Vasia, you should understand that Yurii Ivanovich…

Yes, yes. No need to continue. I know Yurii Ivanovich's whole biography.

The man did the greatest economic miracle. Professor of economics, political elite.

But trust me, the trial will prove the opposite.

No, dad, I wasn't talking to you.

No, in your case a trial won't help. Yes, dad, I am kidding.

My congratulations on our moving home. Dad, give me a break. I'm going crazy.

What was I saying?

A meeting with the Cabinet of Ministers.

The Cabinet of Ministers. The government of lazybones.

I'm in charge of the Cabinet of Ministers, the Ministry of Finances

Maybe the ministry of penguins too?

If you don't like it, free Yurii Ivanovich.

-Ania! -Don't be late!

I won't be late!

Let me decide whom to release. They are animals.

God.

I'm sorry, sweetie.

You can always call me like that.

What do you want? Why are you smiling? You're shining with happiness.

I'm in a good mood.

Do you want me to spoil it? What's about Yurii Ivanovich?

-What about Yurii Ivanovich? -You don't know?

Everyone is worried about our Yurii Ivanovich.

Has Mikael Ashotovich found any proof against this honest man?

Are you done talking?

What's this? A letter of resignation?

What's this? Are these your school drawings?

-Why do I need these cartoons? -It's a riddle.

I have no time for your charades.

This is the answer.

Green Gena.

-Do you know who he is? -No.

The minister of ecology and natural resources.

He sells the rights for oil and natural gas extraction.

Holy moly.

Lysiuk, the minister of education. Five-Percent Lenia.

It's the bribe the students to enter a university.

Sergey Bum. I see. The Ministry of Infrastructure.

Because our roads are deep in shit, right?

No, it's his surname.

His nickname is Sergey the Kind.

He helps to sort out the problems with the ministers.

What's this?

The dirty schemes of the Cabinet of Ministers.

The black ledger. The bribes and agreements.

Why have you brought them?

To boast.

Are you an idiot?

They must be under arrest. Right now. During the meeting.

You've caught them red-handed!

There should be a SWAT squad waiting at the entrance. One. Two!

Yes, there are three buses in the street. People are ready.

The warrant is here. Let's arrest them.

Right now? They are at the meeting.

Go to the meeting to calm down the people. Go.

-Yes? -Yes.

-Right at the meeting? -Right at the meeting, yes.

Okay.

You will be like… What do you call it? A bite.

Like a bait.

A bait. It doesn't matter. The key is for you to survive.

Vaso!

-Take it. -What for?

Just in case.

I know that the minister of culture carries his honorary gun with him.

It's terrible!

Vaso!

-Yes? -Hide it.

Is it okay?

Good.

Give me five minutes. I get the SWAT, you go to the meeting.

Look, does anyone else know about it?
