Brother 2

OK, everybody ready!

Quiet on the set.

- Roll sound.

- Rolling.

- Camera.

- Rolling.

Action!

Action! Action!

- Can I start?

- Get on with it!

No, I am not Byron, I am some other

Elect who yet remains unknown

A pilgrim, though with a Russian soul

Like him I am driven through the world in pother

I set out early, I'll pass away sooner

My mind will not achieve a lot.

- Where do I get a pass?

- Over there. - Thank you.

Sergei BODROV

- It's OK.

- Which way is it?

Take the main elevator to

the eighth floor. You have to ask there.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Victor SUKHORUKOV

Sergei MAKOVETSKY

Hello.

Hello.

Gary HOUSTON

Darya LESNIKOVA

Excuse me, where's Studio 10?

Boris, it's OK.

- Which one?

- Studio 10. Channel 6.

Go straight down the corridor

to the elevators.

Then go up one floor.

Say hi to Vanya Demidov.

From whom?

- What's your name, handsome?

- Danila.

- Who was that?

- Saltykova.

- I didn't catch the name.

- Boris.

- Hers.

- Irina.

Irina SALTYKOVA

Ilya has looked for you downstairs

Where the hell have you been?

Guys, we go live in one minute.

Come on.

Did the soldiers from Chechnya

arrive or not?

It's OK, Vanya.

Kirill PIROGOV

Quiet on the set.

- Did you host 'Music Review' show?

- I used to.

So you are Kostya Gromov

and you've got several medals of honor.

you're Danila Bagrov,

and that makes you Ilya Setevoi.

Great. Take the sweater off.

Don't interrupt me. We're ready.

- Who's Irina Saltykova?

- What? She's a pop star!

Good evening. You're watching

The World of People.

In 1996, in Chechnya,

Sergeant Kostya Gromov

was decorated for bravery,

but he didn't know about it.

Now he has got his medal.

Here is Kostya Gromov

and his comrades-in-arms

Danila Bagrov and Ilya Setevoi.

Dmitry Gromov,

a famous Russian hockey player

now in the NHL

is Kostya's twin brother.

- What were you honored for?

- It was a covert operation...

Alexander DIACHENKO

When I came round,

I saw the Big Guy...

- Who's the Big Guy?

- It's Kostya.

So the Big Guy was dragging

the two of us with his left hand.

And he had a machine gun

and a Kalashnikov in his right hand

Blood was streaming out of me,

my hip was busted. I could see

the Kalashnikov bouncing around,

bumping against Danila's head.

I thought he was lucky

to have his helmet on.

Other guys didn't make it.

Here's a photograph.

- We're at a rest point.

- It's summer already.

Which one of you is the toughest?

Danila.

He was very smart

and never feared anything.

Hi. Turn on Channel 6.

Check out the boy

with the full lips.

I'll call you back later.

Ray TOLER

Now I am a security guard

in a bank.

A major one.

It's the Nikolaevsky Bank.

I like it there.

The guys are all athletes.

I'm actually from Kiev.

After school I went to my Dad in Tula

and soon I was recruited

And Ilya here works on

the Red Square.

It's the former Lenin Museum.

I catalogue their archives.

They still have index cards.

I also work as a night guard there.

That's how I bumped into Danila.

I went out one morning

and he was standing there,

looking at the Mausoleum.

What do you want to be?

Well, I want to enter

an institute.

- Which one?

- A medical school. I want to heal people.

Really? That's symbolic...

Look!

Your brother's in Moscow.

They show him on TV.

And you sit here drinking vodka,

you pig.

You'd better help your mother.

I'm going to die soon.

You'll be fine, Ma.

You should go to your brother

in Moscow.

He'd help you out,

you fool.

He's your brother, after all.

Screw him...

BROTHER - 2

This message is for subscriber 712515.

Irina, please call me on

It's Danila. You showed me

the way to Channel 6.

Regards from Demidov.

I'll be waiting.

- Who's that?

- Saltykova.

- Where did you get the number?

- From Demidov.

Warrant officer, get us

some more cold beer.

Mitya was with the Kiev Falcons

for 2 years.

Then he was drafted by the NHL to play

for the Chicago Black Hawks. Cool!

Can you imagine? Your brother's

going to America to play hockey!

But the Kiev mob

got him.

They egged Chicago Ukrainians

on Mitya.

They said:
"We raised you,

we gave you money,

now it's payback time. "

Greedy bastards!

Mitya knows if you pay once,

you pay forever.

So he found some local

protection... an American.

Katya, we are talking, OK?

The American got it right.

He found some people

to represent Mitya's interests

in the NHL.

Lots of agents came with contracts

to sign.

Mitya signed them all and

the Ukrainians left him alone.

Everything was OK.

He was scoring his goals.

Not long ago the Pittsburgh

Penguins bought him.

But all the money goes to

the account of this American.

And Mitya gets peanuts.

Mitya waited and waited until

he realized he's been conned.

He goes back to the Ukrainians

but it's too late.

This American is sort of

a new Al Capone.

He even talks to Mitya through

his lawyer.

And Mitya is a star!

- How much does he owe Mitya?

- 900 grand, US dollars.

What about filing a lawsuit?

He signed a contract! Mitya didn't

speak English that time.

He thought the Americans are

honest unlike our lot.

- Guys we want some beer.

- Later.

This American has come to Moscow.

Mitya called me last night.

So what shall we do?

I'll talk to my boss. He's meeting

the American tomorrow.

Can you talk to the

American yourself? You speak English...

They wouldn't let me.

He's a new Al Capone.

What if he never gives it back?

I don't know...

I can't let my brother down!

We're twins, we have always

been together...

It's been a year since I saw him

and I miss him so much.

And who is this Al Capone?

Come on. He was the biggest

gangster in America!

It's for you.

Oh, hi!

Girls!

I just wanted to see you.

Demidov gave me your number.

No, he's not here.

Kotelnicheskaya?

Yes, I know.

See you.

- Where's Kotelnicheskaya?

- You said you knew.

Reveille! Like they say

in the army.

Like they said.

Hey, entrant, time to get

ready for your exams.

Can I make a phone call?

The boss has arrived.

Hi, Mr. Belkin, I'm Kostya,

Gromov's son, from Tula.

Yes, I remember. What is it?

Two years ago you helped my brother.

Now he plays hockey in America.

You asked your partner

Mr. Mennis from Chicago,

to look after Mitya.

But he conned him and took

all his money...

Would you, please talk to him?

If he does not listen to you,

I'll do it myself.

- What will you do?

- I'll speak to him.

- To whom?

- To Mr. Mennis. He's in Moscow.

OK, Kostya, I'll talk to him.

Irina, do you always

watch yourself on TV?

- Dontcha like it?

- Why, it's okay.

But I like bands like Nautilus

or DDT.

What are you doing here then?

Get out. I am pressed for time.

Come on, don't get mad with me.

They don't listen to this kind

of music there. It's fake.

- Where?

- In the war.

What war? There's no war here.

And the rules are different.

This is my kind of music

I really like you. And the music's got

nothing to do with it.
