The Inheritance

No!

Does he keep staring at us?

The driver?

Does he even speak English you think?

Hey, Sergei, you no like American?

Wow.

We're here.

Ah, keys.

Thank you.

Thanks for all your help, Sergei!

The foreigners have arrived.

So this is it.

Yeah.

44.

Worth a lot.

Let's get inside.

You know where we're going?

Second floor.

It's the only furnished suite.

Wow.

All this, all ours.

You mean mine.

But I share.

Come on.

Hello!

Welcome!

Welcome to Kyiv.

I am Anjelica.

You must be Sasha.

Anjelica, of course.

Hi, nice to meet you.

This is my husband Peter.

Um, you gave us a bit of a fright.

Sorry for that.

Hello, Peter.

Nice to meet you.

Sad to meet you under the circumstances.

No problem.

We're here now.

Yes you are.

This is much more than I expected.

It's been asleep many years.

And now we wake it up.

Would you assist me?

Let's do it.

Yeah, might as well.

It will be better.

Huh, someone had taste back in the day.

Arno.

Yes, much much better.

I bring some few items to get you started.

Most important, refreshments.

Ah, well done.

Vodka.

The national pastime.

Anything you need while in Kyiv.

Completely at your disposal, me and idiot husband Sergei.

Thank you so much for arranging everything here.

Uh, but tell me, I'm curious.

Why isn't this building occupied?

Yeah, it's right in the center of the city.

It's prime real estate.

Dinner reservations, directions,

taxi, anything for office, you call me.

Not all speak English here.

And uh, where is everybody?

It was empty outside.

Enjoy your stay.

Sergei wouldn't even come up.

Beautiful place.

But it does not like strangers.

And we are strangers.

I don't think so.

Yes, strangers.

But not for long.

This turned out pretty well.

Mm.

If you forget why we're here, I suppose.

Right.

Rest his soul.

Ah.

To Uri.

We say budmo.

Budmo.

"Many years of life and death,

yet ghosts are forever."

Well, once we sell,

this house of ghosts becomes somebody else's problem.

It's gotta be worth a few mil.

Slow down, we just got here.

You're right.

It is yours.

And who knows what else we might discover while

we're here.

Well, come discover what the former Soviet Union

has to offer.

Hey!

Peter?

Yeah.

Nothing.

Sorry, I thought...

Did you come in a second ago?

No.

I'm in bed.

You exhausted me.

No!

Sorry, Grandpa.

Peter?

What time....

Morning, babe.

Morning.

Oh, coffee.

I didn't make coffee.

What is it?

Who was that man you were talking to?

That's our Kyiv lawyer.

He came early.

I told him to go home.

How did these groceries get here?

What is it?

You alright?

You sleep okay?

Never mind.

Wait....

No, what is it?

What was it?

I heard noises last night.

What kind of noises?

Couldn't make them out.

Voices, then banging.

Banging, okay.

I followed the sounds, tripped on your suitcase.

I ended up at the kids' room.

And then?

And then nothing.

The door was open so I closed it.

And I came back to bed.

You know it is an old house, Sasha.

I tell you, I closed that door.

Okay, okay.

Well did you open it this morning?

No, no.

So the door was open this morning and what,

fucking ghosts put groceries in the hallway?

It's just the jet lag messing with you.

Look, why don't you let me make you a nice ghostly and

terrifying breakfast, yeah?

Okay?

A copy of documents signed last month in Chicago,

in English.

These were filed stateside by my grandfather's attorney.

All known property and assets have been catalogued here.

So we've filed all the documents in the

U.S., which means she just signs here and

we're good to go, yeah?

Of course.

Of course.

Mmm.

You sign here.

I can make out dollar amounts, bank wire details,

but I don't know what else it says.

Uh...

Mr. Volkov.

Roman.

All these pages are in Russian?

There should be a translated copy.

Don't worry, Mrs. Sasha.

I work on your behalf.

I handle and take care of everything.

This is what needs to be signed for you to claim

the assets.

And this to sell the assets.

Fine.

But I haven't decided if I'm selling this building yet.

Uh.

It was assumed that you'd be selling everything, Sasha.

Assumed?

Yes, it is assumed.

Is it?

What about just the estate transfer documents?

From Yuri to me.

Roman.

I'm not signing my name in documents presented

in Cyrillic.

Yeah, how do we get these translated?

I need to see those estate transfer documents.

And I will decide on this building later.

Will you be interested to know your other assets?

Give us some time to....

Why don't we just call you a bit later and arrange a

proper time to look at the rest of the items on the list,

yeah?

Okay, fine.

I go now and await you.

I think you spooked him, Sash.

He is a real lawyer, right?

Yeah, yeah he's a real lawyer.

I'm gonna leave you to it.

Are you going to be okay?

I mean, here?
