"You can stop staring now." "Uh, we should walk." " What's this?" " It's a belt." "No, it's not." "It's a weapon." "Purpose of visit?" "To study monuments in the ancient Uzbek capital." "And listen." " Right now I'm really running late for my flight." " Why Samarkand?" " Return flight's in the morning." " Right." "Yeah, yeah." "How many monuments can you see in only one night?" "One." "Hold on."

"And... when he found himself facing the inevitable punishment... there was a girl who tried to help him in this, much as she could." "Oh." "It was Olga." "Later he was acquitted, and... the Inquisition let him go." " But the witch" " Hasn't changed at all." "The one we Light Others needed very greatly just then- she was sentenced." "That's a sad story..." "Boris Ivanovich." "She was the real target... and I was only the bait." "She was the Great One." "The Chalk isn't in Tamerlane's tomb." "How do you know?" "Have you been there?" "In '41, Boris had problems, and I needed the Chalk." "I arranged with archaeologists to organize an expedition and went with them." "In Samarkand, an old man came to me called Zoar." "He said if we opened the tomb, it would start a war." "But I knew that I would have the Chalk and I could change everything." "When we opened the tomb, there was an inscription." ""I held the whole world in my hand... but I can't take it where I'm going. '"" "The Chalk was not in his right hand." " What was Zoar doing?" " He worked in the government." "Ideology section." "And with Tamerlane?" "Pretty much the same thing." "Zoar as right-hand man." "Right-hand man?" "Oh, Zoar." "You sly dog." " Olga." " Hmm?" "Let's turn the plane around." "I know where the Chalk is." "Zoar's got it." ""CAFÉ ZOAR"" "Zoar, give me the Chalk." "Here it is." "You don't get it." "I mean the magic Chalk."

"How is it that you're here now?" "I was just passing by and happened to look in." "You were just passing by?" "You think you were just passing by?" "No, no." "Yegor, it worked!" "Don't you understand?" " It really worked!" " What did?" "What worked, Papa?" "The Chalk." "The Chalk." "It worked!" "What a blessing that you've come back." "Wait." "Why are you so cold?" "You're frozen." "Now wait." "Wait a second." "Come on." "We'll get you something to eat." "That'll warm you up." "Zoar, get me something good and hot, because I have a son today!" "Oh, sit." "Sit." "Sit down." "Please sit down." "It really worked." "Maybe we should wash your trousers too." "Then what am I going to wear?" " Hmm?" " And where are you going to this time of night, huh?" "No." "Go away." "Go away." " Go away." "I'm busy." " What, are you ticklish?" "Oh." "Excuse me." "I'm sorry to bother you, but I'm looking for your neighbor." "You're not alone." "Thank you."

" Papa, go inside." " Don't do this to yourself!" "." " Kostya!" "Kostya!" " Hello?" " Hello." "Anton?" " Who is it?" " It's me, Svetlana." "Svetlana." "You know he has a family." "A son." "Please don't call him anymore." "Riceplov." "You eat it with your hands." "You like it?" "Uh, Papa, will you come and eat with us?" " And who would that be?" " With me... and Mom." "Yegor, I can't come with you." "I have another..." "Life." "Yegor, understand" "You'll come anyway!" "Zoar, why didn't it work for me?" "I put it where you told me to." "This is the place where my fate happens." "Plov - that's 150 rubles." "And your fate is somewhere else." "You can't change the fate of another." "Every living person must answer for his own." "Do you remember where it was... you broke your own destiny?" "You waited... till now to say this?" "You didn't ask." "And so it's my fault?" "I am sorry, Anton." "What's the matter?" "He took the Chalk." " Hello." " Sorry." "Uh, I know it's late..." " but could I speak with Yegor?" " Are you crazy?" "It's 1:00 in the morning." "Yegor's asleep." "Listen." "Can you take me to the Expo Center?" "Zavulon!" "We found him!" "Go on!" "Finish him off!" "You idiots!" "I need him alive." "Just run him around for a while, okay?" " Anton." " Boris, I'll look over this way." "Is anyone here?" "Anton." "Zoar?" "There isn't anyone here." " What's that?" " I think it's his phone." "But why is it broken?" "The Dark Ones want the Chalk too." "The big game begins." ""9th LEGION"" "What do you think you're doing?" "What station is this?" "I'm gone." "Okay." "What's going on?" "Stay there!" "I mean it!" "Stay there!" "Freeze!" "Don't move!" "Don't move!" "Stop!" "Who was it you spoke to?" "I don't know." "They told me not to call there again." "Yegor." " Why was he here?" " The Chalk's with him." " What is it?" " What?" "Just a sec." " Remember Yegor's address?" " Got it." " Then let's go." " Right." " Please get her." " Sveta." "Sveta?" "Flushed out." "Wanted to get out of the cold, huh?" "Take me anywhere." "Sure thing." "Uncle Zavulon, why are we the Dark Ones?" "Imperfections are hidden in darkness, Yegor." "And people... always have their imperfections." "It allows us the luxury of doing what we want." "Of being exactly who we truly are." "Gives us the gift of love." "Look what I found, Uncle Zavulon." "The Chalk of Fate." " Hello." " Zavulon." " What now?" " Have you got the Chalk?" "No." " You do not have the right to touch it." " I know that." "So, what's up with your shindig?" " You are inviting me?" " No, but I'll take some pictures." "Slow down, Semyon." "I want you to get everyone over to the Hotel Cosmos." " Where are you going?" " Ah, I need to change." "Alicia." "You could correct your mistakes with it." " No." "Why don't you keep it?" " What about you?" " I don't need it." " I n your whole life, no errors were made?" " I just don't regret them." " Then what should I do with it?" "You could give it to Alicia." "What does she regret?" "What do women normally regret?" "Loving wrong." "Sure you're making the right decision?" "I just can't live like this, scared to death of shadows, fearing every phone call." "Not me." "I'm not afraid of anybody." "Even if you're like us, you're still a human being." "Human, Papa?" "Can you turn me back into a human?" "No." "No." "But listen." "Son." "Son!" "Listen here." "Wait a minute." " Alicia, are you coming?" " Yes." " We're starting." " On my way." "And don't fiddle with the ring." "It hurts." "Kostya." "Why did you come here?" "Not welcome?" "You are." "Close the door." " Hello." " Hello." "I'm going to take you from here." "Zavulon." "Coming." " I said" " Good evening." "I" "Come back later." " I'll go." " Kostya, wait." " No." " There's something I have to explain to you." " No need." " I can't do this." "He feels everything I feel." "Do you understand?" " I can't take it off." " I'll help you." "Don't." "He'll kill you." " I'm not afraid." " I am." "I believe I told you to come back later!" " Listen." "I said" " Come on." "Time to go." " And who's this?" " Neighbor of Gorodetsky." " Knows him in any disguise." " Hmm." " So, where's your dad?" " Uh" "The person you're calling is not in range now." "Does that hurt?" "Come on." "Come on." "Stay." "Stay." "Come on." "Okay." "Okay." "You have no right to do this." "This is against the law." "Stop it!" "You can't do this!" "There we go." "Okay." "Let's see now." "What have we got?" " I'm just following orders."

"Where's the party going on?" " Top floor." " Parrot's on his way to you." " Right." " How's the food?" " Not bad." "Hurry or you'll miss out." "Uh, Victor, give me your coat." "Hey, Victor." "How's it going?" "Don't "Victor" me." "VICTOR"" "Oh." "That's not you." "Where is he then?" "You know?" "Yegor!" "Yegor!" "Yegor!" "Yegor!" "Yegor!" "Who's there?" "Yegor." "Quiet." "Quiet." "Let his dad say a few words." "Did you forget it was his birthday?" "Shame." "Let's punish the man." "Come on, Anton." "Say something." "He waited for you." "You're a Light One." "You guys are good at this stuff." "Come on." "I" "I, uh... want to wish you... happiness and good health." "Is that it?" "And that everything... in your life is... good." "I'll tell you the rest later." " Let's leave here." " No." "Say it now." "Later will be too late." "Yeah." "Sure." "For you, I wish only one thing:" "that you learn how to forgive... and that no one you know ever tells you" "Bravo!" "You need to forgive him." "Your dad's tired." "He's been poisoned." " I'm trying to exit." "You mind?" " Intercept that vehicle immediately!" "Got it." "You're cutting me off!" "." "So that's how the salad came together, sonny." " Now try a bite." " What is it?" "Which is more essential?" "The ingredients or the effect?" "Grandma, you ruined my life, so just back away." " You did the same to me." " Yeah?" "Yeah." "Thanks to you, I got 12years in the zoo as a toad." "Fancy that." "So what are we supposed to be doing for you now?" "Forgotten why you came here?" "Maybe..." "Chalk?" "Chalk, you say?" "But there's nothing to write on since they tore down your apartment house." "You're right." "The wall's still there though." "Come here, you." "How about a grape?" "Want a grape, huh?" "No?" "Yeah." "Just get me the Chalk, and I'll give it to you." " She won't take it." " Well-trained, huh?" " Very well-trained." " Not eating." " Yeah." "Not eating." " Well, I am." "Well done." " Eating it all." " Excellent." "Right now." "Everything!" "I think we're really close to him now." "Oh." "Oh." "He got a license?" "Look out!" "Are you a complete idiot?" "Fine!" "Stop it, Semyon." "Pull yourself together." "What are you doing?" "Don't." "Step on it!" "We're late." "Shall I call the Inquisition?" "No hurry." "We are missing a guest." "Zavulon, my friend!" "Let's have a beer." "Come on now." "No joking." "One beverage." "Watch it now, Gorodetsky." "The Inquisition's taking you." "Me?" "I don't think so." "Not at all." "I didn't kill anyone." "And you know it." "Then who's the right one?" "Like in a detective story... it could be the man who does the floors." "Or a butcher." "Valery Sergeevich!" "What brings you here tonight?" "I've come to get my son." "He came here for his boy too." "Kostya got a license." "First one." "Good for him." "You know, that's not him." "Okay." "Then what?" "He's harmless." "The son of his mother." "She was special, you know." "More like his dad, I'd say." "Dark Ones." "Pay attention!" "Would you like to know who murdered Galina Rogova?" "She was murdered... and the one who did it" "Uh, that man is you." "Why me murder those folks?" "Huh." "Those?" "A very good thing to ask about." "Now, why were they killed?" "Huh?" "Oh, wait, wait, wait." "You know who put him up to it?" "That's the good part." "Now you die!" "Papa, no." "No, Papa." "With this very knife." "I wanted... so much... for you to be human." "No circumstances... can ever justify the crime of breaking the Great Truce." "So, do you confess your guilt now?" "Yes." "I do." "Last words?" "What is, is." "The Inquisition declares the innocence of Anton Gorodetsky." "You are free to go now." "Thanks, but I'm good here, you know." " Papa." " Kostya, I'll explain it all." "Alicia, did you call them?" "No." "Zavulon!" "Keep your word!" "Hey, granddad." "Don't spoil the mood." " Just go away." " They set him up." "It's not right." "Only one man set him up." "Tango!" " Oh." "Quiet." "Quiet." " Kostya." "Just give me the Chalk." "Quiet." "Quiet." "Leave me alone!" "Ooh!" "One is lost." "One is found." "One goes." "Another arrives." "She's here." "Now the guest list is full." "You've got to stop her, Uncle Zavulon." "There's no stopping her now." "And death would be" "Melodrama, Yegor, is not my style." "I'll do it." "Hmm." "She's stronger, so be prepared." "Don't do it." " Svetlana." " Anton!" "Go." "Just go home." "Okay?" "Look." "I'll explain all of it." "Everything." "Later." "It'll be better if you go." "You know?" "Hey, don't be offended, huh?" "Oh." "It's all just great here now." "Go home, please." "Uncle Zavulon, he doesn't love her." " He's a Dark One now." " No, Yegor." "Just casting shadows." " Then what do we do?" " Hmm." "Think, Yegor." "What is there?" "I stuck a needle in her." "In the Gloom the other day." "I could drink her now." "125." "Three minutes to target." " 320." "Seven minutes." " Thirty-four." "Six minutes." "540." "Two minutes." "518?" "518?" "518." "One minute away from target." "On no account should anyone start any heavy action without us." "Hold your position, all units." "Repeat." "Hold your position."

"Just help me out a little." " If you can give me a little help" " Hey, stupid!" " Come on, man!" "Open the door!" " I want you to stay on the line." "Open the damn door!" "It's been nice!" "Don't stop breathing." "Up you get, Sveta." "You're doing well." " Get that ramp in place!" " In front?" "Yeah!" "Talk to me." "Come on, Sveta." "Talk to me." "Tell me what's happening." "Stay with me now." "They're crazy." "Nuts." "Well done, Sveta." "Great." "Breathe." "Breathe." "That's good." "Now, let's get up." "You're a beauty." "Now come on, Sveta." "We're standing up." "Come on." "Come on." "Up." "Let's go." "Let's go." "Sveta." "Yes?" "Hello?" "Hello?" "Olga?" " We're almost there." "Wait." " I found Anton." "Only he's drunk." "H" " He doesn't want to go anywhere." "Go practice now." "He was drugged?" "You have to get out of there." "It's a trap." "And you stay away from Yegor." "Do you hear me?" "I understand." " Do you hear me?" " Yes, I hear you." "What do you want?" " I need Anton Gorodetsky." " I need him too." " We need to talk." " No." "You're a liar." "You really came to take him away from me." "No." "He loves you too much." "And you." "Ladies and gentlemen... it's finally time for the main event of our celebration... which we've been patiently waiting for a thousand years." "Today, a Great Other appeared before us!" "I'm not going to fight with you." "You don't have a choice." ""EXIT"" "You strapped in?" "We've chosen to start the battle." "And this time, we'll be victorious!" "Damn, he's big." "Because if a single drop of Dark blood... is spilled anywhere, I will tear the Truce apart!" "And it is time to create a brand-new world where we're on top!" "We made it." "How long are we supposed to keep hiding in corners?" "Who's breaking a law here?" "Is it us or them?" "That's the point, men." " We know the faces of every one of them." " That's right!" "Every single Dark, horrible one!" "The people believe in our cause!" "If we don't give them protection, who will?" "Because there is no longer anyone left anywhere who is able to change the shape of fate!" "Because that fate is now here in our hands!" " And that's the point!" " Listen!" "Listen to me!" "They want to start a war!" "And over the world..." " there will be darkness, like eternal night!" " Hey." "And nothing can" "The two of them in there, fighting" " Now I'll leave." " Not happening." "What is this?" "Blood!" "Blood!" "Blood!" " So." " So what?" " It's started." " Oh, no." "Blood!" "Blood!"

"Give me the Chalk." "No." " Bastard!" "Go away!" " You can't do it, Alicia." " Believe me." "There is no way you can bring him back." " I can change it!" "You can't fix it, no matter how you try." " Why not?" " Because it's not your fault." "Now hand the Chalk over to me!" " Then whose fault is it?" " What difference does it make now?" "I'll tell you!" "None at all!" "I am to blame." "Anton." "Anton." " Is that you?" "Are you there?" " Okay." "Okay." " Moment here." "Moment." " Anton, please help." " I got you, Sveta." " I can't see." "Shh, shh." "It's-It's okay." "Let go!" "Let him go!"
