"Vasiliy Lebedev was a young peasant from Crimea who decided to go work in a coal mine in Siberia." "With his sense of opportunity, his lack of scruples and the end of Perestroika to be taken advantage of," "he quickly landed a position overseeing one of the most important power plants in the region." "Thanks to the bribes he paid after the fall of the old USSR, he became the sole owner of the power plant, amassing an immense fortune." "An introverted character and lover of the paranormal sciences, he travelled constantly around the globe, obsessed with finding clues about the existence of "UFOs" and portals to the "beyond"." "On one of his last trips to the US, he bought a performance by an Austrian artist and the artist himself," "whose work was based on the field of dimensional mathematics." "He secretly and illegally smuggled them in, using an ambulance, and hid them in a warehouse outside his power plant in Siberia." "Vasiliy Lebedev died in an airplane crash on a trip with the "London Society for Physical Research" in Sub-Saharan Africa." "His body was never found." "Four years after his death, the artist remains imprisoned in a warehouse outside the power plant." "THE DISTANCE" "Come in." "Bastards..." "Baransky," "You still owe me money." "I always pay my debts." "You'll be paid." "What I'm not so sure about is when." "This job isn't looking too good." "It's a good deal." "Don't think so much." "Do you trust him?" "I trust him." "Nicolai "The Blacksmith" had good things to say about him." "He'll definitely pay." "Would someone tell me what this is all about?" "I don't know about you guys, but I didn't understand the letter at all." "We've got to steal something for an Austrian guy." "We'll see him now." "That's all I know, for the time being." "Did we ask for part of it in advance?" "I do the negotiating." "Take it easy." "I hadn't pictured it like this." "He lives in the small warehouse." "I want you to rob "The Distance"." "What's "The Distance"?" ""The Distance" is in the plant's Turbine Room." "A guard watches over it every day." "Can you do it?" "We want 25% now and the rest when we deliver." "You have six days." "Monday." "Good morning, bucket." "My chimney says hello." ""Calling of the crickets" "Weighing down the side table Shadow of the path"" "If you start in on the Haikus, I'm going to lock you up with the Artist." "Stop guarding The Distance and take me to the chimney." "The chimney doesn't want to see you." "Not today." ""Storm" "Through the bamboo porch An acorn rolling"" ""Snow in the painting" "Still hanging in the spring Covered in dust"" ""A willow, a cherry tree A willow, a cherry tree" "Thus, arrayed"" "Wait." ""Downpour" "The horses' rumps In unison"" "Okay, quiet." "The wind is moving you away from the chimney today." "I'll take you to see it during the next new moon." "Pass me the bread." "There's no way I'll be eating potatoes every day." "So?" "Baransky, tomorrow I want meat." "I set the traps today..." "Get off my back." "Volkov, the bucket speaks Japanese." "What do you want me to do about it, Scumek?" "Learn it." "Volkov, you overdid it with the salt again." "The guard sat down and removed his shoes." "I can hear the sound of high heels." "Pluto." "He masturbated in bed." "When he came, he said, "Pluto. "" "Pass me the vodka." "I'm going into his house tomorrow." "Tuesday." "Peeling potatoes, Cinderella..." "Fuck off, asshole!" "It was easy getting into the guard's house today through the back window." "Why don't we kill him while he's sleeping?" "I don't want any deaths." "Remember the jeweller...?" "They're still looking for us." "Take a good look at the blueprints of the machine." "It's like the one in St. Petersburg." "Yes, but the piston will be larger." "We'll have to take down the wall to the Turbine Room." "What I'm not sure about is where we can get it in..." "And if we use dynamite?" "We haven't got any dynamite, Volkov..." "Let me see." "If we use the old rails from the entrance to the coal mine, they'd guide us to the boiler which would have to be next to the Turbine Room." "Good, Baransky." "Seems like you have a brain today." "We've got three days to build it." "Anatoly?" "Baransky, you son of a bitch..." "Wednesday." "It's five thirty." "Play the cassette." "Don't add too much salt." "I brought you both." "What the hell would I want with them?" "How are you going to fasten the peephole?" "With wire..." "We'll have to put the big wheel on for the axis belt." "Okay, leave it here..." "Mr. Engineer..." "Only one?" "The others didn't want to." "I want you to go in and locate the boiler room." "Wouldn't it be easier to finish off the guard?" "I'm the one in charge here." "And it's about the timing." "It's about the timing." "It's about the timing..." "I've had it with you." "I've been here three days and I still haven't killed anyone." "Baransky, use the bird to detect toxic gas and find the room." "Bring me the propeller." "Do we have to listen to Lenin every day?" "Yes... as long as the domination of the Capital still exists." "Tomorrow the moon will unite us." "Goodnight, princess." "The guard is a mutant." "These are the pictures I took of him." "I don't see anything" "Check this out." "The guard is heading to the power plant." "He suddenly disappears." "And he reappears further along." "It's really strange." "This could be "Krasnoyarsk's Evil"." "I heard about that... while I was doing time in Siberia." "At the end of the 70s, twenty-five soldiers stepped forward as volunteers... for a secret program on new dimensional weapons." "Due to the high level oi radiation contamination that they were exposed to, almost all of them died." "It was an absolute disaster..." "... my lover died there." "But three of them escaped and, because of the testing... they can't control the visualization oi their physical matter in movement." "When they walk, the idiots sometimes go in and out oi our dimension." "The guard must be one of them." "You've got to be a fool to volunteer... for anything in this life." "I found something else in his house." "Some portraits." "They're portraits of..." "Olga Paviova... and Jarmina Palivcova" "Baransky..." "Stick your hand in." "Connect." "See what they say about them." "Okay, Mr. Engineer." "Volkov..." "Is there any liquid poison left?" "For the Yokoono baloney?" "I'll check..." "There's still a little." "Good evening, Las Vegas." "Good evening, Baransky." "I need information on Olga Paviova and Jarmina Palivcova." "Olga Paviova was a Russian writer, occultist and theosophist." "For many years, she maintained two very close relationships with... the Russian millionaire, Vastly Lebedev and the guard at his Power Plant." "From these relationships came..." "Jarmina Palivcova." "Thank you for the information, Sophie." "I need to ask a favor of you..." "Has anyone asked about me?" "Okay, I'll check." "Today at 13113... a man with a mallet asked after your whereabouts." "Thursday." "Volkov!" "What were you doing with my chair?" "This chair is mine and you can't touch it!" "What in the world is going on here?" "Velkov took my chair!" "Okay, calm down, Baransky." "Go, Volkov Now." "We'll talk later." "Take it easy, Baransky." "Listen to me... we'll have dinner tonight... watching the TV." "Okay." "Good morning, bucket." "What about the smoke?" "Today is the new moon." "You have to take me to the chimney." "Bring me clean water to have... pure white smoke, like my love for her." "What time will you take me?" "A letter from Olga...?" "What time will you take me?" "He's gotten a letter from his lover." "That's to be expected." "It's Valentine's Day." "When will you take me?" "When will you take me?" "I'm going for the water, and I'll take you." "That's what you get for running away, stupid." "Thank you very much." "I was born in Japan... but my parents are Catalan." "I was really good at sports as a child." "I'm sick of your hysterical fits." "This can't happen while we're inside." "Velkov brings them out in me..." "Baransky, you've killed Anatoly." "Where is the audiometer?" "Suck my dick!" "Friday." "Down the stairs." "Not here." "I'm sensing something." "What the hell is he doing?" "Let him at it." "Behind this wall." "I can't see anything." "Volkov made a mistake." "It has to be here." "Shit!" "It's here for sure, Scumek!" "My stomach doesn't lie!" "We'll go in tomorrow." "Saturday." "They've got The Distance." "I'll get inside it today." "I'm leaving." "I'm leaving." "The End @"
