"Are you new here?" "Yep, just yesterday out of the quarantine." "Why are you breaking the needles?" "None of your business." "Shut up, puppy." "I'm silent." "First you work as much as I have..." "I've stitched about a hundred thousand sleeves, these last seven months." "Your essence revolts against slave labour." "A what?" "Why you're a philosopher!" "Why aren't you working?" "All my needles broke, must be a factory defect." "Oh so?" "Very well, I'll deduce them from your salary." "Yushenko!" "What?" "Give Kalganov a needle." "Aight." "Kalgan, here you are!" "I'm not sewing any more quilted jackets!" "There, should have just said so." "Why spoil the state property?" "Ahem!" "Hey, governor!" "What's with the sitting here like that, you freeloaders?" "Why?" "what's the matter?" "Kalganov's broken the needles there." "Kalach, call that shrimp in." "Okay, I'm out." "Off you go." "Having a strike, huh?" "And what if everybody stops the work, what will it be then?" "I'm not everybody." "I'm only responsible for myself." "And how are you better than everyone else?" "Go on Kalach, call somebody else of the worker boys in here!" "Call Okun!" "Let's go." "You called me?" "We want to hear the voice of the people." "Do you think a commoner has a right to refuse to work?" "No." "It will not do, to breed anarchy around." "Now, you see how a normal man reasons?" "And who will have to do his norm?" "He's a rat!" "The likes of him deserve that their heads be caved in!" "Do you hear the people's opinion, Kalgan?" "He who doesn't work, doesn't eat." "One wouldn't say so looking at you." "You get fatter and I should slog away for you?" "We don't work because we obey the thieves law." "Thieves?" "You?" "You're just Makhno's soldiers, Bespredel'shiks!" "May I whack him, Mogul?" "Bitch!" "Just you try!" "Get that!" "Here you are!" "Here you are!" "Get that!" "Hell knows what..." "I used to sit at the direction," "I didn't have to worry about anything but the five-year plan." "But this place... one man just goes and kills another... and he himself doesn't know what for." "And at the council yesterday they kept saying to use "The Individual approach!"." "And how am I supposed to keep an eye on every one of them?" "You don't have to look after all of them." "We must control only the few at the top and let them control the others." "You dork!" "Hey, glasses!" "Get your face over here." "I'm about to finish, you can take my place." "I go to the black hole today anyway." "That one?" "No way." "He's a rat!" "I remember him from back outside the bars." "Ah!" "Recognised me?" "He was a witness in our case." "Who ever pulled your tongue, bitch?" "I just said what I saw." "And then, stealing from old people is base." "Shut up, you brute!" "Your place is at that table!" "Welcome to the love shack, sweetie." "Get lost!" "Sit here." "You agreed to be a witness just because you were young, that's not ratting." "Haven't you gotten enough today, Kalgan." "Not from you." "Let's go talk one on one." "Guys!" "I don't want you to fight because of me." "Did you fall from the moon?" "Don't you understand that he's trying to catch you up?" "That's the bitch table." "# Lavender, mountain lavender..." "The blue flowers of our rendezvous... #" "I'm damn sick of that song." "Ehh!" "Feels like running away..." "It's springtime." "It always feels like running away in the springtime." "Oh, no I was... just so." "I'm sick and weary of it all, Tolich." "Sick and weary." "They're locking me in the hold." "I'll have some rest there." "Why did you go against the rules?" "Yurok, if it's not a secret." "Of course it's not.." "Today I received a turn-down from the prosecutor." "They don't drop years off for your charges now." "It's good for you, you're sick, they don't make you work." "And if I'm healthy it means, I must make quilted jackets." "Why must I make quilted jackets for them for four years?" "What am I, crazy?" "And I, Yurok.." "will die soon, I guess." "Come on, Tolich." "I sense it." "Oh." "No, it's not that I'm afraid." "I'm sick and weary of it all too..." "Convict Kalganov, 10th squad for the duty!" "You hold on there, Yurok, and don't make too much fuss for nothing." "Convict Kalganov, clause 206 part two, sentence four years." "Well," "So, we're on strike, huh?" "Why don't you give me a decent job!" "And a seamstress I don't want to be, I'm not a chick." "We have no other work for you, Kalganov." "I'm not stitching quilted jackets!" "Is that below your standards?" "They're in demand, for your information." "For the country." "To clad you lot." "What do you want, fur coats?" "I'm not going to make quilted jackets anyway!" "Do it yourselves!" "Enough with the performance!" "15 days in the black hole!" "What suits are you?" "Not a faggot, not a rat?" "What clause are you doing?" "Uh?" "Clause 505." "Setting the Caspian sea on fire." "I'm Kalganov, 10th.. squad." "I had an argument with the master." "Take off your clothes!" "What for?" "You'll ask questions later." "Take it all off!" "What's with the marks, did the cops beat you?" "No." "Give him the boiler suit back, Makar!" "Don't worry, lad!" "We were just checking you for fleas." "Who beat you?" "I fell." "From the roof?" "From a helicopter." "All right." "Let's have a smoke then." "I don't smoke." "What you mean, you don't smoke?" "This is a smoker's carriage." "Don't be afraid." "You should never get hooked with the needle, but weed is okay, it's good for you." "All right, that's enough." "It's the Prapor [*ensign] that rolled it for us." "Or did you think a little mouse brought it here?" "See how it instantly got better?" "Well, tell me." "From where, for what?" "I'm local." "From Mahalovki, heard about it?" "How's the Starling?" "He is alright... but I got 4 years..." "I swear." "Oh, I've gone crazy." "It'll get better." "I hate resellers ..." "And one of them started to flirt with a girl from my hood." "So, I dropped by a central, to have some vodka... and they are gorging on caviar and Lenka was with them." "Okay, I see." "We got a Romeo and Juliet here..." "I'll show you!" "What is your problem?" "Are you insane or what?" "What's wrong with you?" "He's not used to getting stoned." "Maybe it's true love, huh?" "Love, you say?" "Love?" "We have a different kind of love here, huh?" "Wanna try?" "Let me go!" "Bitch!" "Quiet, quiet, quiet!" "What's wrong with you, boy?" "Calm down, calm down." "Have a rest." "Sit down." "Sit down in the corner, take a nap." "You got really dosed." "You don't like it, huh?" "The verse are pretty mediocre to be honest." "Wanna get a smack?" "So, how did you end up here?" "Speculation." "You profiteer?" "Not at all, I just collected stamps." "Wow..." "I was not profiteering." "Not my fault that they cost more than it's written in the catalogue." "And they qualified it as Article 154." "Just a year in jail." "A lot of us were arrested." "A whole club, in fact." "Never seen anyone like you in 5 years." "Why would I trade with you?" "Mom sent me these socks." "I meant no harm, but if you don't want to..." "Philatelist, you got the parcel, right?" "Let's dig in, Okun?" "Did you share it with Mogol?" "No." "Have you eaten anything?" "Thank god." "Take it." "Listen up." "Go to Mogol and say "Here you go, fellas"." ""Please take this parcel we received"." "Come on." "Come on." "To share with thieves is a good deed." "How it should be." "And you suck on a fog nozzle, got it?" "And don't fucking daydream." "Fucking Jew bastard!" "What?" "We got the parcel." "How is it?" "It's alright." "Where are the socks?" "So he snitched on them after all, the rat." "Wake up, rat!" "Wha?" "Did you call me a rat?" "You'll pay for that!" "Guys, there is a rat in our barracks." "Hold on, that's not your business." "Where is the rat?" "Who is it, who's the rat?" "Where is the rat?" "Here." "He stole our socks." "It's a sin to steal from your buddies." "Proofs?" "Tell him to check the bed." "Come on." "So?" "You'll have to apologise, Abrashka." "I won't apologise to this bitch." "Well do what you want." "This isn't over yet." "You've been here for months, prince." "But you know everything and everyone listens to you." "I don't have to go around the prison to know everything." "Remember, you come and leave and I can get everything here." "The thieves may even be in Tobolsk, but still they know what we are doing." "Get out, loser." "Is it true what they say, that the thieves gave you a mandate in this prison, prince?" "And what about you, will you obey our laws or theirs?" "You asked that before." "I did." "But you keep shunning away from answering." "I want to be loyal to whichever law leaves me more freedom." "And as for the cops, they're my enemies for life." "Quiet!" "Calm down, you all!" "I'm not going to show that many yellow cards." "I'll just show you a red card - for ten days in the black hole, and that will be it." "A penalty!" "Punt a penalty!" "Come on, calm down!" "Go on!" "We're at play!" "A penalty!" "Oh you.." "Instead of punching each others faces, you should better learn how to play football." "Catch it!" "Damn, you're good!" ".." "Where did you learn to play like that, sir?" "Where did I learn, you say?" "I played for Dynamo in the first league, if you want to know." "But I broke my collarbone at a practise.." "Senior lieutenant!" "What are you doing?" "What kind of a look is this?" "The tunic unbuttoned, the cap hell knows where." "Can an officer appear before convicts like that?" "And your squad is getting out of hand." "My bad, comrade major." "If you don't quit your familiarity, they'll ride your neck." "There's no familiarity." "They just deserve to be treated like humans too." "This is a colony." "Do you understand?" "A colony for criminals." "And I won't let you turn it into a summer camp with your democracy." "Hi!" "How was it in the hold?" "It was okay." "Hey!" "Oh!" "Hi, Kalgan!" "What was that for?" "Like you don't know." "So that you don't draw too much." "Ayvazovskiy my ass!" "He's grown vicious." "What's up, Mogul." "Hello." "Sit down." "Prince has received your gift." "He gives you his thanks." "Good to see you again." "You can see a person right away in the hold." "Who will become a bitch and who will go up." "How are you planning to live now?" "I'm on my own." "It doesn't work like that, cowboy." "Come to work for me." "If you live right, I'll have you freed from the machine-tool." "We wouldn't stooge for anyone in Makhalovka." "Fancy a cuppa tea?" "Thanks, I've already been given a treat." "As you wish." "Go get some rest." "Hi, Yurok." "Hi." "Nearly forgot..." "There was a letter for you." "What's up, Tolich?" "How are you doin', man?" "Not good, bruh." "Do not even want to live anymore." "Nothing brings me joy anymore." "Maybe, it's how freedom feels like?" "So kicking the bucket is freedom?" "Better eat more butter, man, maybe you'll get better." "Listen here, Kalgan." "My last word." "Do not hound, please." "Remain a man." "Is that your girlfriend?" "She used to be." "The fuck you need here?" "May I sit down?" "Go on." "I brought you a cake." "Well, they sent me some condensed milk." "I've made a cake." "A cake..." "I like cakes." "Sucking up to me, huh?" "Yura..." "You got me wrong." "I wasn't going to ask you for anything." "Oi, Tolich!" "Get up, you lazy cunt." "He's still warm." "Must have passed away in the morning." "Passed away?" "How?" "He just did." "For no particular reason." "From living behind the bars." "Don't touch anything, or the coppers will frame you for murder." "So that's how you escaped, Tolich." "You're far away now..." "I remember your last word." "Morning, convicts." "Why are you skipping morning exercises?" "What happened?" "Golovanon died." "When?" "How?" "Kiss and then you'll know." "Squad, line up!" "At ease!" "So, you're on strike, huh?" "Subverting the state's planning?" "People are dying like flies here!" "And you keep on talking about your five-year plan." "They die of natural causes." "But life goes on and you still have to show up for the job." "You're fed properly." "Half rouble a day?" "What did you expect?" "The guard dogs are fed better." "The lice are getting us down, citizen governor!" "You should see a doctor about them." "I know why he died." "Why?" "He died of sorrow." "You can't die from that." "They do!" "There's no movies!" "No food!" "You even want to ban Abey's artwork!" "You need to work to chase sorrow away." "...citizens convicts." "And then there will be no sorrow." "And if you don't go to the workshop you'll all go to the black hole." "And we will!" "You ain't got enough bunks for all of us!" "Give that a try, huh, governor!" "Sorry, Mikhalych." "It's too bad, though." "He's a man after all, not a dog." "But what can you do." "Every man has his own destiny." "That's just the kind of chip he was dealt." "And the lice are because you don't wash well enough." "But if that's how things are, we'll fix that." "If you wish to, of course, we will line up now and go to the sauna." "Is that instead of work?" "Did I say after work?" "Stand up properly." "We line up and go to the sauna." "Governor's kind." "Oh so kind!" "Well, I'm not going to the sauna!" "Then nobody is." "Kalach, is the heating pad in place?" "It is." "Serve it up!" "Why are you staring, Okun?" "Uh?" "You're still a shrimp to drink vodka with the thieves." "Go call Kalgan!" "Serve it up, Kalach!" "Kalgan is our guest today." "Thanks, but I don't drink on other people's money." "Oh, come on..." "Nothing is free here, Kalgan." "You had been freezing for fifteen nights in the hold." "Warm yourself up!" "Going good, eh?" "Tremendous!" "Hey, Kalgan, how many sauna days do you have left before freedom?" "Winter-summer, year is gone." "Four Easters pass and home you go." "I've plenty of time to get holes in my hide." "You have our kind of temper." "A thief's temper." "Except that you live and you don't think about tomorrow." "Would you settle down for a big pot?" "A gang commander?" "Yea." "Great." "So, it's you that appoints the brigade commanders?" "No." "But they consult the public opinion." "Don't you worry, it's not stooging if I offer it myself." "I would be glad to serve, but I'm sick of becoming a servant." "Is that how Pushkin had put it?" "It's Griboedov." "What's with him showing up?" "Hey, glasses, who invited you here?" "He's with me." "We need to sort him out." "He almost got our sauna visit cancelled today." "Yo, Philatelist, you're barring the wrong place with that whip." "You should bang the rear end with it here." "Why are you goading him?" "Maybe you've laid an eye on him yourself?" "I can concede..." "No, He's a fool for a girl." "He jacks off to her photo at night." "One should be more balanced, Kalgan." "If we start fighting our own kind, we're as good as dead." "On one side there's the cops and there's this bydlo [*cattle] here on the other." "And what are you doing here?" "Beat it!" "He who is meant to wear yoke is an ox." "The ox gets the whip." "And he who loves freedom by his essence, has freedom even behind the fence." "Out there, in free life it's the cop's law, but here it's our law." "The thieves law." "Kalganov, did you ever breed fish?" "Curious creatures." "There's only one problem, it's that they eat each other." "The ones that are larger eat those who are smaller." "You just can't do anything about it." "Well, what can you do?" "It's Charles Darwin..." "Struggle for living space." "They have everything like we do." "Kalganov.." "..you'll get eaten too." "Those who are larger." "And me... if something goes wrong." "They'll eat up." "Why did I call you, again?" "Ah!" "Come on, sit down, why are you looming there?" "Did you get a letter from your girlfriend?" "Yes." "She sounds like a good girl." "You're lucky to have her." "She must be in love with you." "It can't be that you read all of the mail comes in." "Well, why read all of it..." "But yours, since recently, I do read." "And I've even phoned Lena." "What?" "Yes." "I looked up her number and called her." "If a person is afraid to do it himself.." "A nice guy, hard working." "Overdoes the plan by 120%." "Reforming Successfully." "If it goes on the same way, I would be willing to sign his probation in a year." "To all our pleasure." "You see, I had to lie to reassure a nice girl." "While you were in the black hole at the time." "Don't pull it, tell me what you want." "But keep in mind that I won't be a snitch." "God forbid." "We have more than enough of those..." "We want to appoint you as a brigade foreman." "Interesting." "I have had a similar conversation recently." "Well, a good thought always crosses several minds." "What do you say?" "To be honest, I'd rather not implicate myself in that." "You have already implicated yourself." "You denied to work." "So, if you go back to the workshop now, that would be called bitching in your speak, wouldn't it?" "And if you don't, I'll have to send you to the strict conditions barrack." "Sign up for it!" "You'll have just one worry - to fulfil the plan at all costs." "And we won't let you down, too." "Is that a deal, foreman?" "I don't get it, it says here that you close Kalach and Piston's plan at 100%." "What should it be, 200%?" "Not very nice, foreman." "You bring the union down." "I'm taking away from the commoners to ascribe to you as it is." "There should be some limit to that!" "Who says there shouldn't be?" "However, there's only four of us and there's a whole hundred of them." "It won't cost you anything to give us 120%." "And nobody will be offended." "And if there's not enough produce, you should work harder." "So, you make them!" "And what are you here for?" "And we'll help you with that." "Foreman, the trade union is in control of the situation." "Hey, foreman!" "Isn't it time we punched out?" "What you mean, punch out?" "We settled upon doing two shifts today, remember?" "When was that?" "Yesterday, when we were going to the sauna." "Did you forget?" "Kum never said anything about us doing two shifts." "There was no such agreement." "And you thought it was just about enjoying the sauna?" "There's football on the tube at six!" "What on earth are you doing?" "!" "How about the laws?" "The labour code?" "Harping about rights you lot?" "Who discontent here?" "You, Valdas?" "No, I'm with the majority..." "just want him to explain." "Then go to the storeroom, you'll have your explanation right away." "No." "Who else harped about rights?" "About the labour code?" "You, Philatelist?" "How about the grub?" "Now we're talkin'." "I negotiated about the grub, you'll have hot tanks right in the working room." "That's a different thing." "All for the working class!" "Just go on working." "Listen here, the fuck are you doing?" "Why should I tolerate that?" "Harp about your rights after you get out of here, got it?" "!" "Will you beat me up?" "Yep, we'll educate you a bit." "Why?" "For their plan?" "And you people call yourselves thieves..." "You were all bought." "So, miss... here is your brother." "I had to take responsibility for you being relatives." "Hello, Yura." "What can I say?" "His behaviour is exemplar." "We even endorsed him as a brigadier." "We do rely on him so much." "And as act of exceptional encouragement, I grant you the next two hours." "Could have warned me at least." "Why?" "A surprise, as they say." "Go ahead." "Hello, Yura." "Why did you come here?" "Didn't you want to see me?" "I imagined it the other way." "You didn't smoke before." "I didn't do a helluva lot of things I do now." "Markelov told you might be set free soon." "That you are remorseful." "Remorseful?" "What for?" "None of you would ever understand what the zone [*prison] is." "You can't even imagine what the hell it is." "Jesus..." "Poor thing..." "What a moron I was, you did it for me..." "I brought you some pastry." "I'd rather have some vodka." "You pour vodka into a bottle, fasten it under your skirt and bring it inside." "Were you hustled?" "What?" "Searched?" "Eh..." "No." "Any money on you?" "Five roubles." "Silent, someone will overhear." "How am I going to get home now?" "One way or another." "Worst case scenario you can walk there." "Yura, are you still angry with me?" "No such thing here." "I may hound..." "Do you understand what it means?" "No." "Yura, you've changed so much." "Changed?" "Why the hell did you come here?" "To feel sorry for me?" "To save my soul?" "I don't have a soul any more, only a body." "A filthy one, a starving one, but a body!" "Playin' a milk-and-water girl, huh?" "Do you even know why girls come to this room?" "Yura... don't.." "Yura, stop..." "Let us check how much you longed for me." "Stop, please..." "Yura, it hurts." "It hurts..." "I'm ashamed..." "# It happened in the spring, in green may when the tundra put on its green attire. #" "# We were running with you, trying to lose the chase, so that a pistol shot wouldn't reach us. #" "# Through the tundra, down the railroad track where the Vorkuta-Leningrad express rushes through. #" "Life is an exceptionally curious thing indeed." "What is the difference between us and them after all?" "The freedom, where is it?" "Enter." "Your time is up, unfortunately." "Let's go, Lenochka." "And tell your brother to behave." "Don't you want to say your farewells to your little sister, Kalganov?" "No." "Wait a bit then, I'll see the girl off" "Didn't he happen to hurt you?" "Your eyes are red." "No, no, don't you worry..." "They are such brats here..." "No, don't worry." "Thank you." "Thank you for coming." "Take care of yourself." "I'll call you." "Come on." "You shouldn't wash that." "You're not a Paraffin [*someone who was disgraced by ejaculating in their face]." "And your "sister" turned out to be your girlfriend?" "So piquant." "What an arsehole you are, guv." "Did you mean "thank you"?" "Fancy an extra term for rape?" "You understand what I can do with you, don't you?" "I do." "The first section is over." "A stand-up sketch by Viktor Moshkin is the next item on our program." "Stay tuned!" "Tell us a novel, Philatelist." "I'm sick of France, lads - stuffing themselves with food, shagging and killing each other all the way." "Go on!" "Well, let it be something historical." "Have you heard of Mamluks?" "Certainly." "They were a people in Middle Asia." "Shots in the dark." "Then tell us, stop playing a smart arse." "It was like this." "Cairo sultans were waging endless wars taking a lot of people for slaves, children among them." "Boys were shipped to Egypt." "They wouldn't feed them for long time and they'd start to go wild in the holds, killing each other for a hunk of bread." "Those who survived were raised in special camps." "They would be headed by the most cunning and crafty." "And it was from the Mamluks that the next ruler of Egypt would come about." "He would muster new slaves for himself." "But the Mamluks couldn't get on with each other for a long time, every one of them wanted more and more, killing the others." "All because they were slaves and their mentality was also a slave one, even when they were on a throne." "Having a political meeting, huh?" "That's called sabotage!" "And subverting of the state's planning." "Come on, we're working here like a horse, doing two shifts in a row." "You've been overworking us up to the line!" "That's offensive to us, citizen* governor!" "[*a convict can't call others comrades]" "Bespredel!" "We work our backs off, but they won't close the norm with the coefficients!" "Nothing goes to the store, there's not enough grub!" "What you mean it doesn't go?" "You get as much as you make." "Minus 50% - according to the law - the food, the clothing." "The rest is all yours." "Fat chance." "We're dealing with naked larceny here." "As if you're unaware." "Stop, stop!" "I can't understand a word." "Let someone speak for all of you." "Let Philatelist speak." "Go." "Philatelist who?" "Here he is." "Care to explain what is the matter?" "A great honour to me, citizen guvnor, but I'd better save my teeth." "I guarantee nobody'll lay a finger on you." "What can you guarantee?" "We barely see you here." "We guarantee!" "We do." "Speak!" "Spit it out!" "Come on, speak!" "Don't be afraid, speak!" "Okay, I will." "Have you ever taken a look at our duty reports, citizen guvnor?" "We were turned into slaves." "A bunch of rascals make hay out of us, we are terrorised by the black cast." "Look at them, doing nothing all day long." "And according to their duty reports, they overdo the plan by 20%." "Where are the duty reports?" "Why did you write that bullshit, Kalganov?" "Why didn't you report those sluggards?" "I'm asking you!" "Don't yell at me!" "I'm bloody fed up with being a brigadier!" "I'm sick of lying!" "Get to work!" "All of you, both black and gray." "No exceptions, as it should be." "Popov, come here." "Stand straight when an officer is talking to you." "To the machine." "I can't work, citizen guvnor, I'm not feeling well." "Fifteen days in the block will make you feel better." "I can't work, I'm not feeling well." "I can't work, I'm not feeling well." "Get up already, Pop, we're impressed." "Get up, easy with your head, you don't want a bruise." "Take him to the medical unit." "If a doctor says he shams, you'll all have a nice treatment at the black hole." "Take him already!" "Take him!" "Kalach, Piston." "Heave-ho!" "Of course, I'm new here, citizens convicts." "I haven't got down to something yet." "No more phony duty reports, take my word." "You refuse to work - you go to the block." "No exceptions." "The incident is over, I guess?" "You won't change anything." "Easier to get rid of the fleas than the black cast." "I won't do it alone." "How about you?" "A hundred of sturdy men." "Wouldn't you be able to stand your ground?" "Uh?" "Wow..." "Hey, Vitya, just look at those titties..." "I've just got a letter from the outside." "So what, they've finally built communism?" "Or general amnesty?" "An amnesty?" "No, look..." "I gonna be a father, man." "Uh..." "Don't you get it?" "I got it." "Congratulations." "I'll buy some toys and visit them once I'm out of here." "But first things first, we shouldn't lose our souls." "Do you understand?" "I do..." "Then listen carefully." "People are fed up with this state of affairs, it's time for revolution." "We'll eradicate the black cast without mercy." "Better death than slavery." "Do you agree?" "Probably I am." "But I shan't die" " I'm going to have a baby." "There are higher values we must sacrifice our lives for." "Revolution needs you, people will follow you." "You should lead us, Kalgan." "Piss off." "Are you delirious?" "That's horseshit." "How in hell are you going to start a damn revolution here?" "Abrashka!" "Let our trademark song be the next!" "Time for shackles' rock, lads!"

"Of course I did." "That's a great success I met you." "Would it be too intrusive if I asked you a question?" "Go on." "Could you specify the certain points of Ponyatiya [*thieves code]?" "What does "Bespredel" mean?" "Bespredel?" "Bespredel is something beyond the law." "Would it be rightful to beat up those who do Bespredel?" "You?" "Who can you beat up, son?" "You should ask someone who knows the code to judge you." "Do you intend to ask the guvnor to do it?" "Moshkin!" "Enter." "Reading about your Mamluks' stories was quite a research." "Spent the whole last evening enlightening myself." "Unfortunately, we don't study Mamluks in police academy." "And my subjects are mostly morons..." "Can't even retell a story properly." "Just overheard a sophisticated word." "You must have a lot of those subjects." "Fairly so." "I hope you don't deny that we need to prevent crimes?" "You ended up here by chance." "Pop or Mogol are another story." "Way out of your league." "I should know what is going on in their heads, shouldn't I?" "If you're asking me.." "I'm hardly helpful." "You're playing with fire, Moshkin." "Agitating people under the guise of historical anecdotes." "First Spartacus' riot, then the Golden Horde..." "The hell does Mongols have to do with anything?" "Then those Mamluks..." "They say you brought up Lieutenant Schmidt." "Why would you do it, Moshkin?" "You will be granted parole in three months." "You shouldn't get into trouble." "Why would I do it?" "I have no personal interest in doing it indeed." "Why did Lieutenant Schmidt participate in the Revolution?" "He could have been a fleet admiral, being that smart." "But he chose otherwise." "You want to start a revolution?" "You're naive." "There are no revolutions here, Moshkin." "Just shenanigans and petty squabbles." "One scumbag destroys another one..." "nothing changes in a grand scheme of things." "Keep telling it to yourself." "You are biased because this system is good for you." "You gain from it pretending to have nothing to do with it." "But you can't keep suppressing the Bespredel spring." "It will end in a revolution, citizen mayor." "Moshkin..." "Who were those idiots that sent you here?" "Just a harmless man who used to collect stamps." "Do you think I can do anything?" "Imagine I stop turning a blind eye on Mogol and send him to a correcting unit." "And we will have another Mogol in a blink of an eye, one of you, "men", who scream about equality so much." "Probably being even worse than the original one." "So it goes, Moshkin." "Those are laws of nature, you won't change them." "And freedom is an illusion." "Look at those fish, they think they are free living in that bowl." "Because they've never seen anything else." "Provided there is anything else." "Is it, Moshkin?" "What a dunce." "Look, another one bit the dust." "Why do they keep dying?" "We feed them properly." "Also I've got a surprise for you, Moshkin." "Those socks are yours, I presume." "Yes, they are." "There you have it, sir." "How did you get them?" "He that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow." "Go." "Many happy returns, Prince." "Okay." "So, where did they throw you?" "Fourth barrack." "Gonna hang out there for a bit and back to the block." "How is it goin'?" "Fine." "Have you collected money?" "Two hundred from us and four hundred from the rest." "Keep it." "The shipment is coming soon." "What about that four-eyes in your barrack?" "You mean Philatelist?" "Just a moron." "Trying to stir up trouble." "Leading the men astray?" "You serious, Prince?" "He is a sheep." "Lower him [*to make a rooster]." "He didn't do anything worth it..." "It's coming back on us, you know." "Everything is gonna be fine, Mogol, do as I say." "Find a reason, it isn't your first day behind the bars." "Well..." "He is a rat." "He was at the governor's office." "Hey, Philatelist, we've got something to talk over." "You're their leader now, aren't you?" "Let us talk in their presence." "Why make a fuss?" "Let's go to the TV room." "Talk it over, like Stalin and Churchill." "Why is Bugor [*brigadier] sleeping when we are talking duty reports?" "Yura, are you going to attend our council?" "Valdas, let's go." "Valdas, stay there." "Okay." "If we are talking duty reports, I propose that everybody should be present." "Duty reports?" "What duty reports?" "No, Okun does have a grudge against you and Abrashka." "What's the matter?" "Your socks." "What are those socks?" "You told somebody stole them from you, you bastard?" "They were stolen indeed." "So why are they back on you, you lying cunt?" "Trying to frame me, that kike and you, huh?" "I never said it was you." "The kike did." "Didn't you, Abrashka?" "I thought we were square." "And damn me if I know shit about these socks." "How so?" "I told you..." "I don't know, Mogol, I don't fucking know." "Get lost then, we'll figure it out without you." "Well?" "A man gave me back the socks." "I can't say the name." "Piston." "Turn up the telly." "Easy, don't break it." "Government property, it'll come back on us if you do." "Stop!" "What?" "Isn't it fair?" "Take off the glasses." "He doesn't see a thing without them, they shouldn't be broken." "Okay, take them off." "That's a mistake, Yura." "I'm not guilty of anything." "Probably you'll manage to explain us how you've got the socks back?" "Deal, I'll tell you." "The guvnor gave them to me." "The guvnor?" "You seeing him?" "!" "You rat!" "He ducked the scone, lads!" "I didn't tell him anything." "You lying bitch!" "You're an actual bugger!" "I realised you're a bugger the moment I saw you!" "No laws apply to a rat." "Be a good boy, or it'll hurt much more!" "Valdas!" "Stop the Bespredel!" "Mogol, he was framed." "Hold your jaw!" "I won't let that slime bag humiliate the people!" "What's the matter, Kalgan?" "The hell are you waiting for, morons?" "Break the door!" "They are talking." "Maybe we'll resolve it in a peaceful way?" "You bloody cowards!" "Break the goddamn door!" "Let me in!" "What's up, you idiots?" "Planning a coup d'etat, huh?" "Who do you think you were listening to?" "That four-eyed sod was pulling your legs, ratting to the guvnor all the way." "Lies." "He admitted it." "You heard it with your own ears." "You wretched slaves!" "Vive la Revolucion!" "A rooster crowing instead of Aurora!" "Go wash yourself, Manya!" "Why are you meddling?" "Everyone minds their own business except for you!" "Wiping off bugger's tears is none of your concern, Bugor." "Leave it to the rooster's tribe." "Oi, Moydodyr!" "Your numbers have grown." "Quite a reinforcement for you..." "an intellectual, a revolutionary!" "Tomorrow you're sending him to the shitter to clean the shithole, and now go and console him." "Welcome to the love shack, sweetie!" "Out of the way, you slime ball!" "I'll talk to him first." "Did you think it over, Kalgan?" "Or maybe you hope to break free tomorrow?" "Go on then, come in." "Back to the barrack, men." "Vitya!" "Get up, sleazeballs!" "He hanged himself." "You didn't make him a bugger!" "You hear me, arse, he didn't give a fuck about you, he killed himself!" "Piston, were you satisfied today?" "Time to work it off." "Make this rabid dog lick its slime off." "Out of the way." "Now I'm talkin' to him." "Back, you dogs!" "Beat 'em up!" "Kill those dogs!" "Beat those fuckers!" "Stop you buggers, that's none of your business." "Help, men!" "Roosters are rioting!" "Help!" "Beat the roosters!" "I said 'shun!" "Stop the fight!" "Back!" "Back!" "Stop the fight!" "Out of the way!" "Damn..." "Ensign Golovkov, see them off to the medical unit." "Pihteev, guard the entrance." "On the outside." "Oi, who did that to you?" "Mogol, who beat you up like this?" "Roosters are rioting, damn bitches." "Lads, go to the tenth barrack and give them a fight!" "I've warned you." "I've warned you about the blades." "It was his own knife." "We don't know who did him in, guv." "It was such a mess." "Where's Moskin?" "Vitya is no more." "Hanged himself." "Oh, Moshkin, Moshkin..." "Hey you fuckers!" "Get out and face us!" "Fuck you!" "Prince ordered you to go and hear his judgement." "And I order him to kiss my arse!" "Hold the door!" "Hold the door!" "[Hodor!" "]" "Lads!" "Men!" "What do you think you are doing?" "!" "Back from the windows!" "The hell are you waiting for, come here!" "Come on!" "Valdas, tear off the batteries!" "Citizens convicts, I demand you to keep calm." "Return back to the barracks." "Citizens convicts, I demand you to keep calm." "Return back to the barracks." "Onwards!" "Onwards!" "Kill the coppers!" "Down with the screws!" "Caught it at last, goddamn it?" "It was your decision to let men get rid of the black cast." "If you'd asked me, I would have talked to them." "Okay, enough with that bullshit." "We have violated the balance of the system, now they won't calm down before burning everything to the ground." "We have ways to calm them." "Use of arms exclusively on my command!" "Squad, get into battle formation." "Squad, go!" "Drop the knife." "Are you insane?" "We'll all be hustled." "What the hell are you up to?" "Y'know, I acted like a damn scumbag towards Vitya." "But the guvnor is gonna answer for those socks." "Oi!" "The hell are you going to?" "Back!" "Handelmann!" "Kalganov!" "I said back!" "Okay, go!" "Attention!" "Citizens convicts, stop, come to your senses, do not fall for provocations." "I suggest that the unrest should be over." "Citizens convicts, let us discuss your demands peacefully." "Stop the commotion." "Do not push us to extremes." "We need to negotiate calmly." "Representatives of each squad, gather behind the club!" "Last warning!" "Either you get back into your squads or we'll take statutory measures." "Make up your mind!" "Many of you have wives, mothers and children waiting for you." "Do not make us use force." "You scum!" "You knew everything in advance, fascist pig!" "You murderer!" "Lads!" "Coppers shoot blanks!" "Down with the coppers!" "Fuckers!" "Freeze." "Hands behind your back." "Go." "Move, move!" "Sixth squad, freeze." "Hands behind your back." "Go." "Break into quintuples." "Eighth squad, break into quintuples." "Get into the vehicle!" "Move!" "Kalganov, come here." "Well, Kalganov, what do you want to tell your Lenochka?" "To make an abortion, probably?" "An abortion?" "Not like I'm already dead." "Do you think I don't know what happened in your squad?" "The revolution happened, just like Philatelist promised." "Your Philatelist was a naive bookworm." "Lieutenant Schmidt my arse." "Did he achieve anything?" "Are you free now?" "We will be sooner or later." "But I'll never be your slave." "You wanted freedom?" "You'll have more than you can handle." "I'll do my best for it." "I see, I see." "No wonder you will - it was you who killed him, guv." "Oh, Kalganov, how wrong I was about you." "Here is your fate." "Get into line." "Faster." "'Shun." "Break up into quintuples." "No talking to each other." "Kalganov!" "Good bye." "Hold on." "We'll probably meet once more!" "I'm not giving you up!" "Enter, we don't have all day." "Hold on, I'll find you!" "Move!"
