"C'mon, finish up!" "Good morning, Detective Grinko." "Fuck!" "Investigating officer?" "What happened here?" "Somebody did us a huge favor." "I asked the investigating officer!" "An armed robbery?" "Explain." "The victim, Nozim Kalandarov,   a small dealer in Rukshan's gang." "The perpetrator took him by surprise,   stabed him in the cranium and injured himself while doing so." "And the drugs?" "Gone." "Stolen." "The Tajiki gang made another hit on Rukschan's delivery." "The drugs are probably arriving in Hakkaido by now." "Yes, probably." "Good job!" "I want a detailed reoprt." "I am leaving on a business trip this evening, understood?" "Understood." "Ours is not a gray world." "Under the bright light of truth,   it's a world of clear contrast." "Black and white,   good and evil, right and wrong." "There is always a choice." "But with faith,   choice is an easy one." "What our church has done here..." "What you have done here   over the past two weeks   is clearly right, undeniably good!" "Amen!" "Just look at Jessie's photographs." "You tell me." "Is it not in the smiling face of a child   that we find the true wonder of God's grace?" "So, tomorrow,   as we set off on our long journeys back home..." "You sure you don't wanna fly?" "It's not too late." "Now I think it's time   to reflect on this final thought..." "It's only six days." "When you find yourself in the darkness of despair,   and you're struggling to get back into the clear light   of God's truth." "Remember what you learned here   about the simple power of compassion." "When you light a lamp for someone else,   you brighten your own path, too." "Honey, come on." "Let's go!" "Nyet." "How much?" " Hey, there, little snoop!" " Shit!" "Roy..." "Oh, sorry." "Just wanted to see if you wanted to get some  Shashlyk and Galoopsie." "Galoopsie?" "What's that?" "Oh, wait..." "Excuse me?" "Excuse me?" "That toilet's not working." "Excuse me?" "!" "Hey, let me take care of this." "Uh..." "Dobra vecher, ma'am." "Uh... "T" for toil..." "Toilet." "Toiletten..." "No, no..." "She thinks I meant tea." "No, ma'am." "Uh, toilet." "Toiletten." " One tea, there you go!" " No, no, no..." " Take your tea!" "Take it!" "What's that stupid look on your face?" "!" "You want tea and I made it for you!" "This is not part of my job and can't you see that I have no time at all?" "You immature weirdo!" "Fucking moron!" "And I'll have a beer and uh  the missus will have a Coke." " Coke." " Thanks." " Thank you." "Is it necessary to smoke while we're eating?" "We're not eating yet, Roy." " It's..." "It affects my appetite when you're..." "Well, I'll blow it this way." "Just blow it in that way..." "Please stay in your seats." "This is just a routine check." "They like to search between stations   when the rats cannot jump ship." ""The rats"?" "Drug dealers." "Oh..." "Hey, there, little fella!" "Did he scare you, sweetie?" "Not really." "Best not to tangle with the police in China  and Russia." "Especially in Russia." "I know a man who was detained in Bratsk   for 28 days, ... because his name had been misspelled on the visa." "They demanded 5,000 U.S." "Of course, he refused to pay  out of principle." "What happened?" "He paid  with two toes from his right foot." "You mean, the police..." "Oui, monsieur." "The police." "My compliments." "Bon voyage  and good luck!" "He was just putting us on." "No, I'm telling you, that's how it is." "It's like..." "It's just like the "Wild, Wild East" out here." " Shit!" "There she is!" "Bonsoir, mademoiselle." "Oh, God, no!" "♪ Love ♪..." "How do you turn it off?" " I don't know." " Go ask the bitch." " Oh, let's just make do." "♪ Think of me, babe, whenever ♪... ♪ Some sweet-talkin' girl comes along ♪..."

"Oh..." "Sorry." "Uh..." "Oh, great!" "You're up, honey, uh..." "This is, uh, Carlos and, uhh..." "Oh, boy..." " Abby." " That's right." "Abby." "Carlos and Abby." " Thanks." "My wife, Jessie Nusser." "Here you go." "So where are we?" "We just crossed the border into Zabaykalsk." "We're in Russia..." "Siberia." "First time for you?" "Mm-hmm." " Oh!" "Here we go." "They're changing the bogies." "Grab the camera." "This is great!" "Roy enjoys his trains, no?" "Just a little, yeah." "Let you get dressed..." "They even change the gauge." "You know, what's interesting, honey,   the Chinese didn't want the Russians to invade,   so they made their tracks narrower." "Uh..." "You know, the Russian gauge's 5.6 feet,   which is, just like, three inches wider than the Chinese, ... so these Chinese wheels gotta go." "Where'd they come from?" "I dunno, some machine tool factory near Moscow, I suppose." " No, them... our new cabin mates." " Oh." "He said that they were teaching in Japan English and  maybe some Spanish." "Oh, honey, get a shot of that." "They're raising the train." "Get a shot!" "You know what, I suppose they keep the bogies over there." "I don't know how they'll get them in onto that track and then under, but..." "You know what, it's just amazing..." " Hey!" " Hey, our new friends!" " Hi." " Sit." " Thanks." " Come on over." "We're gonna get you some vodka..." "So..." "How was Customs?" "Oh, jeez." "You know, they really gave us a bit of a hard time, Carlos." "What, you two?" "No way." "Yeah, well, they were suspicious of our passports." "What?" "!" "May I see them, please?" "Sure." "Okay." "This is why, Roy." "Look." "They're new." "Brand-new." "A new passport is easy to forge." "There are fewer stamps and visas to copy." "Hold on there!" "Those are the real McCoy." "We just got those." "Hold on." "Let me show you mine." "This is the real McCoy!" " Oh." " See?" " Well used." " Yeah." "They're not accustomed to see new passports." "What's Canada like?" "I always wanted..." "Let me tell you the secret to getting through Customs and across borders." "Pasar desapercibidos." "Don't stand out!" "Well, you think it's obvious that we're Americans?" "Nah, I..." "Well, she definitely looks American." "So you've done this trip before?" "Sí." "Train's cheaper than plane." "I don't like the cold, but my yogurcito, aquí..." "Huh?" "The colder, the better, huh?" "You know?" " Sí." "If she loves cold she'd love Iowa, 'cause it gets cold there." "Here they are!" "Hey, do you think it may be a little early to..." " Early?" "Roy..." " You know." "It's late." "It's 3:00 a.m." "Trains run on Moscow time." "We have much catching up to do, tío!" " Not for me." " No?" "No." "But it will melt the ice inside you." "Can I please bum one of those?" ""Melt the ice"!" "..." " Cheers!" " Hey, hey..." " Nazdrovya!" " Hey!" " You've got it!" " Hey, hey!" " Nazdrovya!" " Nazdrovye!" " Davay!" "Davay!" "..." "Nazdrovye!" "Nazdrovye!" "Where are you from?" "Nowhere really." " Seattle." " Do you speak Russian?" " No, my Russian is a little..." "So you've been teaching English in Japan?" " No, my Russian is a little..." " How was it?" " Rusty?" " It's all right." " Heh, heh, rusty..." " I prefer Southeast Asia." " Where are you from?" "I guess you've been traveling a long time." "Uhh, about two years." "You ever miss home?" "No, I never really had much of a home to miss." " Very, very good!" "Never thought about getting off the road, you know?" "Plant a root?" "So, uh, you were helping kids in China?" "Yes." "Yeah." "Roy's church..." "Our church  has uhm..." "has a program." "It's like a sister-city thing." "That's nice." "It was nice." "It was a lot of work, but it felt good, you know?" "I've never done anything like that before." "Like what?" " Very good!" "You know..." " Davay, davay!" "Lending a helping hand and   helping someone who's down." "Roy's real good like that." "He's..." "He's good with people." "Da, da, da!" "He seems like he would be." "Oh, God." "Okay." "Show 'em!" "Look at this!" "Oh!" "A tiger attack him in Khabarovsk!" "There are tigers in Russia?" "A lot of Siberian tigers." "He hunts them." ""Tony the Tiger" attack me!" "Hey, look at this!" "A deer attacked me." "A deer?" "Yeah." "John-Deere power mower!" "Kto Gulag?" "What did he do?" "Wrote poetry." "Gulags still exist?" "No, but once in Siberia were many Gulag." "If you want truth about America,   you take a book." "You want truth about Russia?" "Take shovel!" "They're all buried here!" "Scientists, priests,   poets!" "There is no good, under the snow of Siberia." "Oil!" "There is oil!" " To oil!" " To oil!" "Yeah!" "Jessie, a little poison for you?" " I don't drink." " Are you sure?" "She's sure, Carlos." "That poison will kill you faster." "Thank you, Carlos!" "I try and I try,   but that is the one bad habit of hers   that I haven't been able to change." "Yet." "Kill off all my demons, Roy,   and my angels might die, too." "Roy!" " ¡Cacho cabrón!" " ¡Cabrón!" "¡Cabrón!" "¡Follarme!" "¡Follarme!" "¡Follarme!" " Oh, I'm sorry." "I'll..." "I'll come back." " No, no, it's fine!" "It's fine!" "Stay." "You're hot." "Yeah." "It's hot in here." "If we could just crack this window open." "Yeah, I've tried already." "We're shut in tight." "We'll just have to sweat it out." "But it is good for resaca." "What's resaca?" "Hangover." "Oh." "Well, I wouldn't know." "You get anything good?" "Yeah, I think so." "Do you mind if I  take a look?" "Wow!" "¡Vaya fotos más guapas!" "They're beautiful." "Look at this one." "You must sell them for much money." "Don't you?" " No, I don't sell them." "No?" "Why not?" "It's more of just a hobby for now." "For now?" "I don't know." "I might do a book someday." "I don't know." "I want to show you something." "Don't want those strange Polacks  looking in and catching ideas." "Son unos pesados los polacos." "Wow!" "No, no..." "Not this one." "This one." "This is my favorite." "You see?" "All the others are smiling   and this one is so sad." "I love these things." "See?" "It's sandalwood." "These are one of a kind." "Not for tourists." "They pay much money for these in Amsterdam." "Is it legal reselling them?" "Yeah." "I mean,   a little bakshish to Customs now and then, but  it's legal." "They are Matryoshkas." "It means "mother"." "See the belly?" " Mm-hmm." "They celebrate fertility." "And now,   there she is." "The little bambina." "Look at it." "Isn't that cute?" " Carlos?" " Eh..." " Hold on." " Carlos?" "I had to lock it." "Fucking Polacks..." "Keep coming in like they're invited." " Hi, Abby." " Hey." "Lo ves?" "What did I tell you?" "Next stop, Irkutsk!" "Come on!" "Let's go!" " They have everything here." " Mm-hmm." "It's crazy." "Where's the baby?" " Oh, the pirozhki's really good." "They are?" "Should we get one?" " Yeah." "No, no, wait..." "It's my treat." "Here they are!" "Take a look at this, Carlos." "Wow!" "Coal-burners!" "I'm in heaven!" "Ha-ha-ha..." " You like them?" " So who said that?" " What?" ""Kill all my demons, and my angels might die, too"?" "Tennessee Williams I think." "I like it." "Yeah?" "I saw you have a journal." "Are you a writer?" " No." " No?" "No." "It's more like a travel diary." "Uh-huh." "Well, I bet you got some good stories." "I sure did." "Yeah." "None of them I'm too proud of." "I left home when I was 16." "Maybe for the same reasons as you, I dunno..." "Spun my wheels into my late 20s." "Never spent more than a week in one place." "No, wait..." "I'm wrong." "There was jail in Memphis for nine days,   and, uh,   detox." "That was two weeks, I think." "This was all pre-Roy, of course." "So, how'd you two meet?" "How'd we meet?" "Well, Roy likes to say we met by accident." "I was drunk and I swerved into his truck head-on,   going 40 miles an hour." "Beautiful, huh?" "I saw many like that in Rajasthan." " Where's, uh..." " India." "Oh, wow." "You've been pretty much everywhere, huh?" "Life is a journey, Roy." "Not a destination." "I like that." "That sounds like something Jess would say." " Really?" " Yeah." "She's still a bit..." "I don't know." "What's the word?" "... restless." "Yeah." "Okay." "So, this trip,   the Transsiberian, it was her idea." "No, that was me." "You see, we never travel anywhere, and..." "So..." "When the church gave us this chance I thought it would be a  perfect opportunity to impress her with a big adventure." "You know..." "Make her happy." "She seems happy to me." "Well, tell you the truth, Carlos,   we've been having problems lately..." "Marital problems." "Oh..." "I'm sorry to hear it." "I think she thinks I just  play it a bit safe sometimes." "But before I met Jess, I, I thought I was the  wild one." "I'm not sure she expected to end up with a  hardware store owner." "You know, much less one with a train set in his basement, but..." "I love her." "So..." "Oh, Carlos..." "You gotta check out this boiler." "What a beauty!" "Isn't she gorgeous?" "He came to the hospital every day." "There was no one else." "I pretty much pissed off   everyone else in my life by that point." "He said something to me one day I'll never forget." "He said, "No matter what your aim..."" "No, wait..." ""No matter what your dream in life, no matter what your goal,   keep your eye upon the doughnut   and not upon the hole!"" "What's that supposed to mean?" "I don't know, but it's so Roy." "No, I guess it's like..." "You know, if you..." "If you focus on the positive,   you can do amazing things in your life." "Before we met, I was a bit too focused on the negative." "No, I'm..." "I'm not saying settling down  solves everything, you know, it's..." "Roy and I are so different in many ways." "He wants kids, for instance." "A family, you know?" "I mean, I do, too." "Of course I do, too." "It's just that's..." "It's just such a huge thing to..." "Plant a root?" "Yeah." "I want a family." "But I'd..." "I'd get it right, you know?" "There's this place in  in Vancouver on a lake." "This cottage..." "It's got this long wooden dock that   you can go out and sit on." "Surrounded by the mountains, and it's quiet." "No one else is around." "Sounds nice." "Is it a family place?" "Yeah, my grandfather's." "Well..." "He actually sold it to  pay for his trips to Reno." "I'm gonna buy it back." "Wow..." "Vancouver on a lake." "Sounds expensive." "Yeah, I'm working on it." "With Carlos?" "I'm sorry." "That was none of my business." "We should get back on." "Yeah." "Hey!" "It was good talking to you, Abby." "Yeah, you, too." "Yeah." "Thanks." "Roy?" "You there?" "What's going on?" "!" "I cannot for once wash my ass here without being disturbed?" "!" "Excuse me." "Have you seen my husband?" "Where are you going like that, sweetheart?" "You can't keep doing that!" "..." "We have five more days before we are in Moscow..." "Roy's gone!" "What?" "!" "I just looked up and down the whole train." "He's not on it." "Wha..." "He's here." "Sit down." "Didn't he get back on with you?" "No." "Oh, shit!" "We looked at the old trains." "Then I left to get some food." "Yeah, maybe he didn't hear the bell." "What am I going to do?" "!" "He's got to be here somewhere." " He's not!" " I'm sure he's fine." "We'll just have to ask around." "This is a fucking nightmare." "The station master will put him on next train." "You wait at station." "So when's the next train?" "There are delays." "Police are checking all trains from Chita to Novosibirsk." "They're checking trains?" " Da." "Drugs!" "Okay, so when's the next train?" "!" " Zavtra." " Zavtra?" "Tomorrow." "It'll be okay." "I mean, um, we'll..." "I guess..." "You can't really do anything else about it anyway." "Hey, Jessie, we're gonna get off and wait with you." "Oh, no." "Really, you don't have to do that." "Please." "We will die from train food." "A vegetable would be nice, huh?" "We've been at this a lot longer than you and it's just not safe for a woman by herself." "Ulyanovskaya!" "Ulyanovskaya, five minutes!" "Okay?" "Okay, let's go!" " You need some help?" " No, it's okay." "Okay." "Come on, girls!" "Hotel!" "..." "Very, very nice!" " Big rooms!" " Ah!" "Magic words." "Let's go!" "So you have no American guest there?" "No, it's okay." "Nyet." "I'm sorry." "We will try tomorrow." "Look..." "Don't you understand?" "He'll be here tomorrow." "Mrs. Nusser, ..." "I just want to know he's okay now!" "... it has happened many, many times with tourists." "This is Russia!" "Alo?" "I cannot hear you!" "..." "Everything okay?" "He doesn't know a thing." "Just that the first train from Irkutsk gets in at noon." "I'm sure he's on it." " I'm sure he's fine." " Yeah." "Yeah, I know." "Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah..." "Let's not worry about Roy, okay?" "Carlos!" "I'm sorry?" "!" "Roy es un machote, eh?" "A big man!" "A big man can take care of himself, okay?" "Come on!" " No, thanks!" " No, no." "Not this time." " No, thank you." "Sí, sí, sí, sí, sí, sí..." "Now, I bring good news from the kitchen." "They have vegetables." "Bad news." "It's   a potato!" "¡Sólo esto!" "One potato!" "But don't be sad!" "Don't be sad!" "We'll have so many things to do as we're starved to death..." "This town is Rock 'n' Roll, man!" "Huh, what do you think?" "Should we stay a few more days to see everything?" "Oh, God!" "Please, no!" "Ah!" "..." "Potato..." "Mrs. Potato..." "Spasiba." "One of a kind, huh?" "What?" "Your matryoshka dolls." "Carlos told me they were one of a kind." "A salt shaker!" "I'm going to bed." "Good night." "Did I say something?" "No..." "No." "She didn't know I had the dolls." "We had a little problem with Customs not so long ago." "She wanted me to stop." "But you didn't." "Yep!" "Sometimes I'm careless." "And I need the money, okay?" "Cheap imitation... by the way." "Don't take this the wrong way, Carlos, but isn't she a bit young   to be tramping around the world with someone like you?" "Maybe I should find someone older to tramp around with?" "No." "I just mean she's a good girl." "Huh!" "So I'm what?" "¿El lobo feroz?" "The Big Bad Wolf?" "!" "You're irresponsible." "¡Hipócrita!" "You understand?" " No." "Roy told me about your "bad girl" past." "Why this trip, Jessie?" "Huh?" "I understand Roy." "He likes choo-choo trains." "But you?" "Why are you here?" "What are you looking for?" "A little bit of excitement?" "Like you had before when you were the chica mala?" "When there was nothing to hold you down." "No compromise." "When life was just   sensaciónes." "Man, I sure wish I'd met you back in the day." "¿Sí?" "Yeah." "Nothing cleared the head back then better than a good, pointless fuck." "I'm tired." "I'm turning in." "¡Buenas noches!" " Guess what." " What?" "Our shower is broken." "Can I use yours?" "I brought my own towel." "Spasiba!" "¡De nada!" "Are you going sightseeing?" "No." "Waiting for a call from the front desk." "About my husband." "Is Abby sleeping?" " Hello?" " Mrs. Nusser?" "Yes." "I have found a hotel in Irkutsk   that has an American guest." "They will call back shortly." "Oh, great!" "That's..." "That's great!" "Thank you so much!" "I'll be right down." "Okay?" "They found Roy!" "Key's on the table, okay?" " Where the fuck are they?" "!" " What's this?" "Where are the drugs?" "!" "Where are the fucking drugs?" "!" "Where are they, you fuck?" "!" "What are you looking at?" "!" "Mrs. Nusser, American is not Mr. Nusser." " Not Roy?" "But you just said they found him!" " I'm sorry." "Maybe he's not in Irkutsk?" "No, no he is in Irkutsk." "That's the whole point!" " Mrs. Nusser..." "He got off the train in Irkutsk." " We made a lot of calls to   many hotels." "We must wait." "We must wait and see." "Wait and see." "Have they found him?" "Not yet." "Shame." "The first train is at noon?" "Yeah..." "Yeah, he's on it." "Okay." "Great!" "Then we have four hours." "¿Bueno, qué?" "What should we see?" "The Bauxite Mine or the Toothpick Factory?" "Neither." "You like to photograph beautiful things, right?" "I'm going to show you something..." "guapísimo!" " Alo?" "Come on!" "Get a coat!" "Mrs. Nusser..." "It's for you." " Roy?" "!" " Hi, sweetie." " Roy..." " Oh, ho, ho, what an adventure, huh?" " Wow!" " I was pretty worried, Roy." "Yeah, I'm fine, honey." "I'm fine." "I had a couple rubles." "I was able to get a hotel." "But now they're saying I won't get in until 4:30." " 4:30?" "!" "That late?" "!" " Well, I'm not complaining." "Gets me a few more hours to check out these old coal burners." "This place is a treasure trove, sweetie!" "How you doing, by the way?" " Fine, Roy." "I'm just fine." " Jess,   it is incredible!" "They've got this old Soviet shunting loco here   that's got..." " 4:30 now?" " Uh-huh." "Well, then you have no choice." "¡Vámonos!" " He says closest airport is Krasnoyarsk." " Ah, shit." "Uhh..." "Is there a bus that goes there?" "Or a car?" "Machina?" "It would be very, very expensive." "Almost 1,000." "I have the money." "When?" "Tonight." "His brother can take you." "Uh..." "How many passenger?" "One." "A bus or a time machine?" "It's incredible." "Ne nada, ne nada..." " No?" "What did he say?" "I have no idea, love." "But he pointed that way." "Come on!" "Wait." "Are you sure this is the right way?" "Yeah." "How are we gonna know how to get back?" "You have been dropping bread crumbs, right?" "Ha, ha..." "Carlos?" "I think we should head back." "Two more minutes." "How do you know?" "Carlos?" "Carlos!" "Wow..." "You see?" "What did I tell you?" "Hey, Carlos!" "Yee-hee!" "You put that in your book!" "Was I right?" "¿Está guapo, eh?" "Wow!" "Amazing!" "Thank you." " Let me take one of you." " No..." " I look stupid in photos." " Just one." "Okay." "Thank you." " Lovely!" "Come on, can I have it back?" "Beautiful." "Okay, I'll do it." "Thank you." "What are you doing?" "I can't do this." " What?" "It was stupid." "I'm sorry, Carlos." " What?" " Sorry." "Where's the chica mala now?" "Come on." "No one will know." "You little tease." "Fucking tease." "Fuh..." "Fucking..." "Uh!" " Get the fuck off!" "Where are you going?" "Come on." "Wait!" "I will not hurt you." "I swear!" "Jessie..." "It's okay." "Where are you going?" "It's okay..." "I'm not going to hurt you." "Ohh!" "Give me your hand..." "Aw, fuck!" "¡Puta madre!" "¡Ven aquí!" "Huh?" "Fucking tease... eh?" "Fucking bitch!" "..." "Stay away from me!" "Stay away from me!" "I will not hurt you." "I will not hurt you." "Hello!" "It's porter!" "For take your baggage." " They're on the bed." "Hey!" "Oh boy, does that feel good!" "Car 2, Cabin 4." "I'm so sorry." "You?" "Hey, I'm the one who screwed up." "Honey?" "You okay?" "Hey..." "You all right?" "Just cold." "Where's your coat?" "In my bag." "You are so silly." "Come on." "Let's get on the train." "Can you believe it's snowing?" "You know the guy that I'm staying with Carlos   Ximénez?" "Do you know where he is?" "He left this morning uh..." "by bus   with the American woman Nusser." "Did they say when they were gonna be back?" "They are back." "She just left to the station to meet her husband train." "Spasiba, tabarich!" "It means "comrade"." "Our new cabin mate's been teaching me some Russian." "I had him phone the hotel in Moscow und uh..." "And they know that we're gonna be a day late." "But there's still two days to, you know, see the Red Square, and the   Kremlin and the..." "Woah, you really didn't sleep a wink, did ya?" "Was it that bad?" " What?" " Your hotel." "Sweetie, I swear to you." "Mine was like a gulag!" "And uh..." "You know the stock room in the basement at the store?" "It was half that size." "No windows and, oh..." "Ohh, here we go!" "And uh..." "Oh!" "This is the best part!" "Okay?" "The phone rings 3:00 in the morning." "It's reception asking, "Do you want a prostitute?"" "I mean, apparently it's normal in here but, like,   it threw me for a loop." "I mean, I, I..." "She was, I swear to God, good at what she did..." "Just kidding you!" "Sweetie?" "You all right?" "You sure..." "You sure you're okay, sweetie?" " Yeah..." "Yeah." "I am now." "Oh!" "There he is!" "Where you been, tabarich?" " Tovarish." " Ah, tovarish, tovarish." " You must be Jessie." "Yeah, oh, this is uh..." "Ilya Grinko." "He's our... our new bunk mate." "Hi." "My colleague tells me he is too busy   and cannot join me for early dinner." "May I ask you to accept my invitation?" "I am..." "Tak, how it is?" "...famished!" "Famished is right." "Yeah, well..." "We're happy to join you." "Is that all right, sweetie?" "Is the dining car even open?" "I'm afraid my watch doesn't work." "Mine's fine." "And, oh!" "We're in luck." "It's almost 5:00." " Almost 5:00." "Here I am trying to explain the situation   to the station master..." "And Ilya appears out of nowhere   and starts translating." "Your husband is lucky guy." "Oh, ye..." "His English is excellent, don't you think, honey?" "My son encouraged me." "He..." "He liked your country." "He was going to be in diplomatic service." "Nakanyec!" "Well, hold on there, Ilya." "Can policemen drink while on duty?" "Well, we won't tell my boss, eh?" "No, thanks." "Don't be shy." " You're a cop." " A detective, Jess." "Da." "With FSKN, like your Bureau of Narcotics." "Ilya is on his way to   a big conference in Moscow   all the way from Vladivostok." "In Soviet days, official like me   would get plane ticket first class." "Now, seven days on train." "Nazdrovya!" " Nazdrovya." "Hold on there, Ilya." "You..." "Don't tell me that you miss the U.S.S.R.!" "I mean, the U.S.S.R. was a dark, evil empire." "Maybe so." "But then we were a people living in the darkness." "Now we are a people dying in the light." "Which is better?" "When it was U.S.S.R., a man lived to age 65 years." "Now it is 58 years." "I know this fact very well." "I am 58." "In Russia now we say there are only two kinds of people." "Those who leave in private jet,   and those who leave in coffin." "Which are you?" "I'm too old to leave." "Just do my job." "Which is uh..." "catching the bad guys, huh, Ilya?" "Right, Roy." "Well, who are they?" "Who are the bad guys?" "Ten years ago, it was easy." "Drivers bring heroin from Kabul in back of truck." "We catch them." "So they get smart." "They add special chemical to heroin,   mold it into objects." "Uhm..." "Souvenirs, handicrafts, small toys..." "And they pay people..." "Mules,   I think you call them." "...who can travel easily with drugs." "They use students, old babushkas..." "People who look innocent, but are really not." "Hm?" "These are bad guys." "Hey." "Jess, wha..." "Abby and... uhm..." "Shoot, what was his name?" "The... the Spaniard." "Carlos." "The backpackers you told me about..." "Who shared your cabin." "Yes, Abby and Carlos." "Do you think they could have been "mules"?" "By the past year, this   line has become major trafficking route." "You know, Ilya, now that I think about it, uh..." "This couple seemed to know an awful lot about   forging passports,   and sneaking over borders and whatnot." "This Abby and Carlos..." "I mean, at least that's what they   said their names were." "This couple... did they seem suspicious to you, Jessie?" "No, just young." "And they were going where, Moscow?" "They never said." "So you left them on the train   when you got off... in Ulyanovskaya?" "Yeah." "Are you feeling better?" "Yeah." "Oh, good." "You're lucky you didn't have that   Russian vodka." "In the end you're lucky you're not drinking, you know?" "So what did you think of uh..." "Ilya?" "Now, I know what you're thinking." "Yeah, I mean, he's a persistent SOB but   bet you he always gets his man." "Hey, buddy, we were just talking about you!" "Only good, I hope." "Oh, yeah." "Oh, please." "Allow me!" "Oh, no." "No, that's okay." " Jessie..." "Jessie, let me help you." " I've got it." "That's okay." "No, really..." "Just let him get it." "It's okay." " Let me help." "Let go." " It's fine..." "Okay." " He's got it." " Thank you." "She's a headstrong woman." "You know how that goes." "Hey, how many days to Moscow, Ilya?" "Three more days, Roy." "Whoo!" "Amazing!" "You want to stay on train forever." "Well, as long as possible..." " Guess what." " What?" "Our shower is broken." "They found Roy." "Key's on the table, okay?" "Spakoinye noche!" "Spakoinai..." "Spakoneh... noche." "For now, that's good." "Sweetie, can you hit the lights?" "I have my eye things on."

"I'm not making the same mistake twice." "Hey..." "Ah, Jessie!" "Taking some pictures, I see." "I am not photographer but, ... may I suggest that side of platform?" "That looks heavy." "Please allow me." " Oh, no." "It's not." "It's fine." " Take my tea." "Now..." "There." "A very nice picture!" "Bright colors, babushkas,   russian faces!" "Take, take, take!" "Take more!" "I believe we have time." "Why do you wear it if it doesn't work?" "It was my son's." "I gave it to him when he graduated university." "He died of bone cancer." "Oh, I'm very sorry." "Ah..." "To live life is not always to   walk through a meadow, eh?" "Still we find ways to survive." "My colleagues in Krasnoyarsk   they've searched the Vostok, the train you got off in Ulyanovskaya." "They  could not find Carlos and Abby." " Maybe they got off somewhere between." " Maybe." " Ah, my phone..." " I got it now." "Thanks!" "Da." "Jessie." "This is my colleague, Kolzak Yushenkov." "He's also detective." "We are traveling together." "Right." "Jessie, would you come with us, please?" "My husband will wonder where I am." "He knows you cannot be far." "There are few places one can hide on this train." "No?" "This Carlos and Abby   perhaps they got off train with you in Ulyanovskaya?" "No." "No?" "You are certain?" "In Russia, we have expression..." ""With lies you may go ahead in the world,   but you may never go back."" "You understand this, Jessie?" "I have spoken with police in Ulyanovskaya." "They have spoken with manager of hotel." "This witness saw you having dinner   with the Spaniard." "Get outta here!" "Jess?" "You okay?" "Yeah." "Yeah." "Yeah, I'm fine." "Hey..." "What are these?" "What are they doing in your camera bag?" "Did you  buy 'em?" "No?" "Wh..." "Where'd they come from?" "Carlos." "Carlos?" " Yeah." " He gave these to you?" "Yeah..." "Jess?" " No." "He didn't." " Jess..." "Oh, God!" "It's okay, baby." "It's okay..." "It's okay." "Heroin." "Oh, Lord." "How did Carlos get the dolls into your bag?" "He came into my room." "I let him." "His shower wasn't working." "He wanted to use mine so..." "I left the room and saw police searching the hotel." "Carlos must have seen them, too." "I think he got scared and that must have been when he  did it." "What then?" "I went to the lobby and I waited for a call from Roy." "It was there that I saw the two of them leave and go off together." "Jessie..." "Why did you tell me  they did not get off train with you?" "Just got scared." "Why?" "I got scared for Abby." "I got to know Abby." "She's a good girl, okay?" "So when you asked me those questions, I froze." "I didn't want anything to happen to her because of what Carlos did." "She's not part of it." "She didn't even know Carlos had the dolls." "How do you know this?" "He told me." "He... showed me the dolls." "When you were alone with him?" "Yes." "And later, when I found the dolls in my bag..." "She got..." "She panicked, Ilya." "You just told her about how the smugglers operate and   she got scared and..." "It can happen to anyone." "Da." "Fear can drive one to irrational acts." "In Russia, we know this very well." "Our history is a history of irrational acts." "So..." "That's it?" "Mmm, apart from, I'm afraid, one formality." "Ah!" "I was right." "Very beautiful." "Is it okay?" "Yeah." "What will you do if you find them, Ilya?" "First, we must find them, Roy." "Hey, Carlos!" "Yee-hee!" "Ah, this is very nice one." "This is  Ulyanovskaya?" "Which church?" "I..." "I didn't get the name." "Ah..." "This is very nice one." " Like..." " Hey, Carlos." "... Russian symbol, no?" "Nichivo." "Ladna." "We can take care of that." "I am very sorry for inconvenience." "We will arrive in Moscow tomorrow." "I will stay in Kolzak's cabin tonight." "Spakoinai noche." " Spakoinaya noche..." " Good night!" "Spakoinai noche!" " Spakoinye... noche." "I'm sorry." "Jess, I love you." "That means we should be able to tell each other everything." "No secrets." "Yee-hee!" "You put that in your book!" "Guess who's not at her station for once?" "Of course there's no milk or sugar." "Huh." "Well, at least she turned off the music." "Hey." "We did the right thing, okay?" "Yeah." "Yeah." "I know." "Ughh..." "Want me to go get you some sugar from the dining car?" "That'd be sweet." "Okay." "Give me your hand!" "I got ya." "You're okay." "You're okay..." "Ilya..." "Whe..." "What is going on here?" "What..." "There are some problems with your wife's story." "Ilya..." "Where are the other cars?" "Who the hell are you?" "!" "Kolzak." "Please, there's no need for that." "Roy, Jessie,   it is best to sit." "Your wife was seen leaving Ulyanovskaya   on a bus with the Spaniard." "Now perhaps your wife can tell us  where is Carlos?" "Hmm?" "Hmm?" "Da." "It seems, Roy, your wife has problems with the truth." "Don't tell me about my wife." "I know about my wife." "Who are you?" "Who are you?" "I am Detective Ilya Grinko, Narcotic Division." "And this is my colleague..." " Bullshit!" "You're not a Detective." "You're a liar!" "If you please..." "Where are we going?" "On a short walk." "But, Ilya, we don't have any coat..." "Roy!" "Roy..." " My glasses!" " Let's go." "We're Americans!" "Let's go!" "Please sit." "Remove your shoes." "What?" "And socks." "Ilya, wait a minute." "We're freezing to death here..." "Ah..." "Okay!" "Okay..." "They found her in..." "back in Ulyanovskaya." "She was looking for her..." ""boyfriend"." "Ilya, what do you want?" "You have your drugs." "Not my drugs, Roy!" "You think this is about couple kilos heroin?" "His boss move 20..." "50 kilos heroin every day." "He expects sometimes his mules..." "to run off with deliveries." "He does not expect them to steal money." "That he does not like." "No!" "Don't!" "Stop!" "Stop!" "Whatever Carlos was involved in, she isn't." "Please!" "You American women..." "You describe Abby how?" "A... "good girl", no?" "Does good girl recruit boyfriend?" "Does she pretend to love him?" " It's not true!" " So that he will stick knife..." "This knife!" "...into head of man, so she can steal his money." "Does good girl do that, Jessie?" "Murder a man, ..." " No  then deny it." "No." "It's not true..." "I am detective, Roy." "I know only facts." "One, Abby does not know where Carlos is." "Two, she does not have the money." "So..." "This is my theory." "Find Carlos." "Find the money." "Oh, no!" "We took a bus!" "We took a bus out of town." "We got off at some..." "village somewhere." "I took some photos." "And then..." "Then..." "We came back." "He got off in town." "I went back to the hotel." "I didn't see him again." "I don't know where he is!" "I don't!" "I don't know where he is!" "Please!" "I don't!" "I don't know where he is!" "I don't!" "I am a fair man." "Kolzak, less so." "He wanted to tie your feet." "I think there is no need." "You're not criminals." "You must have a lot of questions for each other." "So I will give you small moment to talk." "She's lying." "She knows where he is." " She'll talk." " I need to talk to Rukshan first." " You are wasting time, Ilya!" "Shoot the husband  in the head." "She'll talk." " They are Americans." " This all happened on your watch..." "Need I remind you what Rukshan will do, ... if you don't find his money?" "Give them five minutes." "And then shoot him in the knee." "Is there anything..." "anything at all you could say  to help us?" "Jessie..." "No matter what you say to me right now  I will still love you." "You understand?" "No matter what you say!" "Oh, God." "Oh, Roy..." "Okay..." "Let's go." "Go where?" "There's got to be another way out." "We have no shoes." "They have guns." "They'll kill us!" "Don't leave me." "Please." "We can't just leave her." "She's why we're here!" "It's not true." "It's not true." "Please don't go." "Help me, please." "Please!" "Jess!" "A door!" " No." " A door..." "Please don't leave me." "Please, help me..." " It's okay." "Where's Carlos?" "Where is he?" "It's open!" "Where's Carlos?" "!" " Jess, hurry!" " Where's Carlos?" "Where is he?" "Where is he?" "..." " Jess!" "..." "Where is he?" "!" "Where is he?" "!" " Jess!" " Where is he?" "!" "Where is he?" "!" "Come here..." "This way." "There." "I see daylight." "We gotta break it." "Give me that pipe." " Okay." "Jessie!" "Here." "Good enough." "The Chinese made crap we sell in the store..." "Honey, help me!" "Go!" "Go, go, go!" "..." "Go!" "There it is!" "... My feet!" "You okay?" "..." "Okay, come on." "Come on." "Hi." "What the fuck is this!" "Roy..." "Shit!" "Shit, Roy!" " Push him out." " What?" "Push him out!" "She's powered up." "I just got to get her moving." "I worked a diesel simulator once at the  Rail Museum in Des Moines." "Great!" "The gages were in English..." " Oh, shit!" "Roy!" "Shit!" " Shut..." "Go!" " What?" " Shut... shut all the doors!" " Shut all the doors!" " Okay!" "Okay..." "That's the throttle!" "Brakes..." "Just need the brakes." "That's it, sweetheart!" "Yeah!" "She's stalling!" "Where's the fuel pump?" "!" "Come on!" "Oh, no..." " He's coming!" "Shit!" " She's stalling!" "Jess, hold the door!" "Help!" "No!" "Oh!" "..." "God!" "Are you okay?" "Kolzak!" "No!" "You listen to me!" "You must take responsibility!" "He will kill Roy, okay?" "Where is Carlos?" "Where is he?" "!" "Where is he?" "!" "And you think this American bluff?" "!" "Just game?" "!" "He will shoot him..." "in the head!" "Unless you tell me now..." "where is Carlos." " He's dead." " Where is he?" "!" "I killed him!" "Brace!" "Brace!" "Brace!" "I don't believe her." "I don't believe her!" "Oh, no, no..." "No." "Give it to me..." "Give it to me!" "No." " Let go of your weapon!" " I'm a police officer!" "I'm a police officer!" " What the heck is going on here?" " Ilya Grinko, Federal Drug Control Service." "I just saved these hostages." "They are Americans." "This is Kolzak Yushenkov." "He kidnapped the tourists   and hijacked the train..." "Fortunately, I was able to jump on just in time   and prevent the worst from happening." "Put down your weapons." "Go help those people." "No, wait." "It's..." "He's..." "It's him..." " You have many injured?" " On the contrary!" "They are pretty much enjoying it to be here." "A day here is a day less in Grozny!" " He wa..." "He was gonna kill... kill us." " What is she saying to me?" "Ggibberish..." "I have no idea." "He was gonna kill us." "Wait." "Listen." "Listen..." "He was..." "He was trying..." "He wanted to..." "You got the statements?" "Uh, Mr. Nusser?" "Yeah." "Come on in, fellas." "Now these three were   mid-level ops in an Uzbeki gang..." "Ran by a fellow named Javid Rukshan." "He pours junk into the states via Japan." "And your pal the cop, well, he made sure that uh  nobody interfered with the operation, and uh  including, of course, his own guys at the MPD." "He's a marked man now." "On both sides." "Now the good news is, Mrs. Nusser, that uh  your photo, may make it possible for us and the Russian police to  put this whole operation behind bars." "Way to go, sweetie!" "Oh, yeah, uhm..." "Sorry about the... about the camera." "Now, uhm..." "May I uh  give you a word of advice?" "Something my, uh,   my mama always used to tell me." "Don't you be talking to strangers!" "Carlos Ximénez, from Barcelona..." "Those are his priors." "Theft, possession, sexual assault." "Trafficking is a new bag for him." "But..." "You think you'll find him?" "Someone will..." "Us first, if he's lucky." "And her?" "Abby Brunell. 20 years old,   last known address Seattle..." "Haven't been able to track down any family." "Yeah, just another lost kid." "Made the mistake of uhm..." "falling for the wrong guy." "Well, like you told us in your statements." "Which are..." "Ah, yeah..." "Here we go!" "Yep." "All nicely printed out in easy-to-read English." "What's gonna happen to her?" "Well, as soon as she's fit, she'll be sent back to the states." "At the taxpayer's expense." "Now, your uh  signature here means that you swear it's all truthful." "Yeah, just uh..." "right here, Mr. Nusser." "Roy..." "I need to see her." "Hi..." "I want to tell you something, okay?" " Here you are, sir." " Thank you, ma'am." "You all right?" "Mm-hmm." "What'd you say to her?" "Just something you once told me." "In the hospital." "Oh..." "You're kidding." "The doughnut thing?" "Honey, I don't even know what that means." "I just was trying to cheer you up..." "Make you look on the bright side." "I know." "It's sure gonna be nice to be back home." "Max!" "..." "Max, come here." "Leave her alone." "I'm sorry." " It's okay." " Stay in your seat, honey." "It's okay..."
