A Fox Hunt Page #2

Synopsis: The Meet: The hounds are joyously romping about in anticipation of a good run. They journey from the kennels to the starting place of the meet, where several members of the hunt are waiting. The master soon has everything arranged, and the horn is blown and off they go. In Full Cry: The hounds are away. Picking up the scent, off they rush through hedge and wood and bush. We catch sight several times of the fox scampering on in terror with the hounds in full cry. The Kill: After an exciting, ringing chase, the hounds pounce upon their prey and quickly kill. They are all gathered together, and off they trot to the assembling place. The dead fox is thrown amongst the hounds, who very soon break it up. The brush is then presented to the lady of the hunt. Return to the Kennels: After such a good chase the horn is blown and the return journey is made. The members, pleased with the chase, trot lazily back, and the pack are conducted back to their kennels.

Shukshin maybe?

Just tell me what you want.

I've got...

Maybe some medicine or a doctor...

I've got friends doctors.

Just tell me, please.

And what do you want?

Me?

I want my son to stay with me.

How can I explain this to you?

It's up to court to decide.

No, it's up to you to decide.

My lawyer told me.

I've hired a lawyer.

It depends on your testimony.

There were no witnesses,

and Belikov will do anything.

- He'll slander my boy...

- Your boy kicked me.

It's not true. You couldn't

have seen it clearly in the dark.

I didn't need to.

I felt it alright.

I understand that you

don't care who or what now.

I understand they are all

the same to you now. It's understandable.

Well, since you understand...

Why are you saying all this to me?

Your son will get what he deserves.

Rest assured.

Stop nagging me. Enough.

Alright then, it's up to you.

As you like.

But your testimony is not everything.

Frankly speaking, I thought

that, as parents...

you would understand...

You've got a son too.

He'll grow up too.

God forbid...

Don't worry.

I'll punish him with my own hands...

Myself...

Yes, this is where I took a turn.

I've been taking a short cut for 7 years.

No need to explain,

just show us your route.

Got it.

Right.

This is where they jumped out.

Thank you, comrade prosecutor.

Do you have questions, comrade lawyer?

I've got a question for

the defendant Strizhak.

Defendant Strizhak, stand up.

Tell me, Strizhak,

who was the first to suggest

the idea about 2 roubles?

We didn't agree on 2 specifically.

It just kind of came out.

It just came out.

Who said it then?

I testified already...

- Vova said it, he doesn't deny it.

- Vova then.

Tell me, Strizhak...

What social work did you do?

- When? At school?

- At school, after school.

I was in Komsomol committee...

And after school I worked

at the factory, everyday.

Everyday. I've got a question

to the defendant Belikov.

Proceed.

Tell me, Belikov,

when you and my client Strizhak

sat near the shooting range,

what did you talk about?

Why should I remember?

Stand up, Belikov.

Answer the question.

My client testified that you, Belikov,

suggested buying more wine

and pointed to the cafe Little Star.

And when he said he had no money,

you said that money is easy to get

if you've got hands.

Can you confirm that?

What? That money is easy to get?

Can you confirm telling this to Strizhak?

Belikov, answer.

I said it.

In other words, you suggested getting

the money in any possible way.

One more question to Belikov.

Tell me, Belikov,

what happened to you

on September 10th last year?

- Don't you remember?

- No.

You were arrested after the fight

you started in the Cosmos cinema.

And on September 22th...

you were expelled from technical school #2

for systematic misconduct,

after which you attempted to break the

window on the ground floor of this school,

but were arrested once again.

Remember now?

No further questions.

- No, number 18.

- Ok, thank you.

at Burmistrov's.

What do you want?

- Where is that lawyer? In glasses.

- What for?

Call him.

He'll come out soon.

And this your...

whatshisname...

defendant, or something...

he kicked me.

But you testified, didn't you?

Why are you justifying him?

I'm not justifying. I'm defending.

It's my job.

Nice job you've got.

You ruin the one and justify the other.

Well, well.

Let's go have a look.

- We can't!

- Let's go.

I've found the forth,

look for the fifth one.

Why are you here? You'd better go

clean the mess you've made in your room.

- Later.

- Don't you hear me?

He will, later.

It's no good breathing in gasoline.

Didn't you hear me?

I'm not.

- Mum, please!

- Go!

Hot, isn't it?

So hot.

We should buy a fan.

Go ahead.

I was thinking.

I should go to Tyuliayevo

to visit my godfather.

He's been calling me...

I feel awkward.

- You's been calling you?

- My godfather.

When was that exactly?

A long time ago. In spring.

I see. He just needs someone to drink with.

Yeah...

- That's why you are mending the motorbike?

- Yeah.

Don't yeah me! You're not a redneck.

Why are you mending your motobike then?

It means you decided beforehand,

and now you pretend to be asking me.

Go ahead. I'm not holding you back.

People are helping their kids.

Ours got a whole list of books to read.

And no one's even thought

about buying the books.

Cinema, parks...

All parents are with their kids.

Are you listening?

I am.

- What's wrong with you?

- What?

I don't know, I can't a word out of you,

you're like a mute or something.

Alright, I'll go with him.

I'll just wash my hands.

Valera! Come here.

Dad, we're going to the cinema, right?

You and mother are very sly, aren't you?

- Hello, hunter.

- Hi.

Kids, don't drop litter,

here's a plate.

Valera, what's up with you?

Come on, eat!

No way. Eat yourself.

Don't be stupid.

Eat, or else it'll melt.

I can't, it's my tonsils.

What tonsils?

Your mother is always

inventing some illnesses.

- Come on, eat. We won't tell her.

- No.

What's wrong?

I said, eat.

I allow you, understand?

Father allowed you.

You're a smart alec, aren't you?

Let's go.

Look.

Could you sit a little bit lower?

- Hello.

- Hi there.

Look at that!

Hey, buddy!

Hey!

What?

- Don't you recognize me?

- I do.

- Dad, let's go!

- Your friend is doing time, isn't he?

He is.

Where exactly?

At Lubentsy, he makes mittens.

You put him in jail just like that.

- Why we? It was you.

- Dad, let's go!

- Well done!

- Let's go!

Well done to you then, isn't it?

Hang on, Valera. What does

it have to do with me?

- What does it have to do with me?

- Who then?

He's got nothing to do with it.

He just ruined a guy's life. That's all.

Did I pass the sentence or what?

- Dad, let's go!

- Hang on, Valera.

Listen, buddy. Cut the crap.

Everyone saw how you tried

to get out of this with you mother.

I didn't say an extra word.

I just answered the questions.

I heard your answers.

Listen, buddy!

I don't want to see you again. Got it?

- We'll move to a different city.

- You'd better!

And I thought to myself,

who is rattling there?

- I recognized your motorbike at once.

- Hello, uncle Kolya.

Hello!

- Well, godson...

- Nice to see you.

Let me kiss you.
