Сын отца народов

EPISODE NINE

What is it with him?

Hey there, Yegorovich.

Good day, Vasily Josephovich.

Hi, Red.

Look at you.

Listen can you get him ready to ride.

I want to have a ride with the kids.

Yes, Vasily Josephovich! Heíll be ready in a jiffy.

Egorovich, do you have anything to drink?

Only moonshine. You want it?

Alright.

Good boy, RedÖ

Do you make the moonshine yourself?

Yes. I get by without any help.

The vodka in the shop is expensive but I have to drink somethingÖ

Whatís a working man to do?

Alright then.

Does Galya come here often?

No more than you.

The children are growing up as though they were orphans yet the both of you are alive.

I would get that whip and really teach that mother a lesson.

What about the father?

The father as well.

You know me, Vasily JosephovichÖ I donít beat around the bush.

I have a lot of work, Yegorovich.

Daddy! Daddy!

Youíve become so heavy!

Daddy, guess - is this a chicken or a rooster?

A rooster.

Look at the pretty flowers!

Youíre tearing me apart here! Someone said something and you just believed them?

Katya is worried, your father is worried, everyone isÖ

Iím done worrying.

So what? Itís a pass.

So I called her into my office once! What do you expect e to do, take the tram?

So big deal - I called her in, we spoke, I asked how she was doing!

Thatís all.

People are so strange! When anyone else wants to know how someone is doing - thatís fine!

But when Beria wants to know - heís a bloody executioner!

By the way, I freed more people that I put away - just so you know!

So youíre not even denying having spied on me?

What am I supposed to hide?

I just asked her how you were doing, how are things, that is all!

And then?

What then? What?

Do you report to my father?

You father, Vasya, is the kind of person who has no desire to know everything.

He already does.

Do you understand that I cant live with her as my wife anymore?

Why not?

What has she ever done to you? Did she cheat on you or something?

Was she rude or disrespectful or something?

She can tell her girlfriends all kind of bad things about you - so what?

Id a man supposed to react so angrily at everything?

Maybe with her girlfriends but not with you.

Goodbye, Lavrentiy Pavlovich.

No good deed goes unpunished.

Why am I always the one at fault?

Go ahead!

Harder!

Well, Michailovich! Will you give me Dzadzivallo?

I canít, Vasily JosephovichÖ and you know why.

Afraid of Lavrentiy?

There is only one man in the USSR who doesnít fear him and thatís you.

Thatís why Iím telling you that Dzadzivallo will play for the Air Force.

Vasily Josephovich... I wanted to ask you for something.

Alright go onÖ Iíll do what I can.

Who do you want released?

Have you heard of the Starostini brothers?

Of course I have, who hasnít?

If you can get the older one out of prison - I will forever be in your debt.

He ended up there out of pure stupidityÖ

He punched someone who shouldnít be punched.

You know where all of this will goÖ

I see.

I will be forever in your debt! And not only me - the entire country will thank you.

Alright, Michailovich, Iíll try.

But you should write the transfer requestÖ

Write that you donít need him anymore and that you have enough coaches as is.

Write that you donít see a reason why Dzadzivallo canít transfer to the Air Force team.

Then I will get Starostin out of prison.

Vasily Josephovich, if Beria finds outÖ

He wonít do a thing - he doesnít know football anyway.

People told him that Dzadzivallo is a brilliant coach - so he believed them.

But he really is a great coach.

Iíve seen many coaches in my day ever since I started doing this in 45.

Givi is a genius.

So tomorrow you write that he is now shit.

That he stopped seeing the game. He will be happy to go anyway.

Michailovich, I heard you and you heard me.

Conversation over.

Work on your strikes.

Go on passÖ

Dzadzivallo! Come here.

Letís talk.

Are you ready to come coach for me?

I will put in a request to grant you the rank of Major Engineer of aviationÖ

And if you get me that cup - thereís a promotion in it for you.

Soon as we get the documents from HR, we will prepare a room for you.

At first though it will be just room in the dormitory on Verhnyaya Maslove.

Close to the stadiumÖ

Dinamo?

Of course Dinamo. But Iíll get you an apartment next year, that I promise.

Is there anything else your little heart desires?

What about Beria?

He wonít do a thing. Youíre a free man and you can coach for whichever team you want.

But you know how he isÖ

And you know how I am.

I donít leave my friends behind - father is eternal.

Understand?

Yes.

Thank you. Iíll be seeing you soon.

The pool will be of great quality - much better than this one.

Thanks to your help we might be done sooner that we planned.

Our Air Force team will have a place to train, the Labor Union team as wellÖ

Are we letting them in as well?

There are no other places - there are only four pools for Moscow and Leningrad.

Well then itís a good thing weíre doing this.

As soon as we finish we will hold a national competition.

If we had fifty of these - then things could really take off.

Thatís true.

Vasily Josephovich, we need to go to another site, time is short.

Alright then go on without me and report back to me.

Or do you need me to hold your hand through it all?

No, we can handle it.

Look at the one in the orangeÖ

Alright then, get going.

Yes, sir Lieutenant General.

Work with the hands!

Alright, go rest.

Thatís enough for today.

Girls, you really need to put more effort into itÖ

Hello, pretty lady. Letís get to know each other.

My name is Vasily, whatís yours?

Iím Kapitalina.

Thatís a nice name.

Are you the new coachís assistant?

Why would you think that?

Let me help you.

You help everyone out of the water?

No, just the gifted ones.

I saw you swimming and couldnít just walk by.

Oh. Well forgive me but I need to get changed.

Vasiliaeva, a talented athlete.

She has been national champion many times, 19 national records.

InterestingÖ

Pump the brakes, will you?

Lady, can I give you a lift?

LookÖ

Take that.

Vasya!

Alright thatís enough, Kappa!

Alright, peace!

WellÖ Strawberry drink. All natural. High quality.

Here.

No, Iím going to have something with a kick.

Vasya, can you live one day without the vodka?

Sure but then what will people say?

What kind of general are you if you worry about what the people say?

Or are you chicken?

Me?

Fine.

Am I supposed to eat a cucumber with this?

Do you need to top it off with food?

Look at the nature, breathe in the fresh air.

Youíre a good man, Vasily.

But you have way too many bodyguards.

Youíve suddenly become so talkative, Kappa.

Iím not being strict enough with you.

Well then perhaps Iíll leave you, Vasily Josephovich.

Youíre not going anywhere.

Kappa, what are you doing?

Kappa, stop!

Kappa!

Youíre crazy!

Iím going to catch you!

Comrade GeneralÖ

Iím going to catch you, Kappa!

Weíll catch herÖ

No we wonít, sheís the national swimming champion.

You canít catch me.

Kappa wait up! Stop!

Catch up!

Youíre crazy.

SoÖ

Can I help you out?

Go on.

Not until you kiss me.

Alright.

Itís so cold!

Tell me you love me.

You know.

Say it.

I love you.

Do you?

I love you.

So cold.

Youíre a dangerous man.

Itís amazing!
