Day Watch Page #5

Why? Why aren't you doing anything?

[ Screams ]

[ Groans ]

[ Snarls ]

[ Shouts ]

- No!

- That's enough!

Listen to me.

We cannot interfere.

If you break the Truce,

they'll kill you.

It will achieve nothing.

[ Thinking ]

Line 22.

- [Semyon ] Why is the trolley here?

- [ Shouting ]

[ Gasps ]

[ Breathing Heavily ]

[ Shouting ]

[Shouting Continues ]

[ Shouts ]

You have to stop this!

[ Shouting ]

Step on it. Step on it. Come on.

[ Snaps Fingers ]

[ Anton's Voice ]

Let's go.

You're an actor, right?

"BORIS IVANOVICH GESSER"

[Door Creaking]

If you can't prove

before dawn...

that Gorodetsky is innocent in regard

to the deaths of the Dark Ones...

providing suitable evidence...

we will issue a warrant...

for his elimination.

- Day Watch has already

filed the procedural request.

- [Fax Machine Beeps ]

Here is a copy.

We won't turn him over to you.

I'm writing an official

note of protest.

If you refuse to comply

with this order...

the result will be war.

This is a provocation

by the Day Watch.

The Supreme Powers will not

be on your side in this.

The charges brought by

the Day Watch are quite real.

Your protest will be turned down.

"GORSVET - SAMARKAND"

[Phone Ringing]

- Hello.

- [ Anton's Voice ] Alisher.

It's Gorodetsky in Moscow.

- Ah! Anton, friend. How are you?

- Hey.

Okay. I'm going to be

flying in soon...

and I need a way to

get to Tamerlane's tomb...

- without anyone knowing.

- [Alisher] Here you go.

- Thank you.

- Yes. You're welcome.

- Hello? What was that?

- I wasn't talking to you.

- Can you help me with this?

- Of course.

For Gorodetsky, it's do or die.

Just come in, we'll fix it all for you.

"ZAVULON"

Yeah. Say hi to Semyon.

- Salaam alaikum, Zavuloroka.

- [ Zavulon On Phone ] Salaam.

Zavulon, there is a Gorodetsky

coming here.

[Zavulon ] Gorodetsky going to Samarkand?

Thank you, Mahmud.

[ Alicia ]

So I'm flying to Samarkand?

Hold on.

- [ Parrot Squawks ]

- His plane-

what if it fell out of the sky?

What do you mean?

Hmm. We should let the parrot fly.

- Okay.

- [Squawks ]

Yep.

- There.

- And this is-

- His ride, of course.

- [ Squawks ]

To the airport.

[ Screaming ]

"ANTON"

[ Cell Phone Rings ]

- [ Beeps ]

- [ Olga's Voice ] Yes?

- [ Anton's Voice ] Olga?

- How are you?

Bad. We gotta switch back.

I'll meet you at the airport

in a half an hour.

[ Woman On P.A. ] Late passengers,

please proceed directly to the gate.

Let's walk.

Let's take the lift.

- My body.

- Going someplace?

- Mm-hmm. I need it.

- My body's not good enough for you?

Don't want it to get messed up.

In what way?

Excuse us.

[Thumping]

[ Olga Screams ]

[ Olga Moaning, Screaming]

[Beeps ]

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.

[Olga]

No daydreaming on duty.

- Flight to Samarkand?

- Yes.

- Thank you.

- Anton, where are you off to?

- Seats, please. We're leaving.

- Yeah, sure. One minute.

- Please take your seat now.

- Okay. Okay. I'm sitting.

- You have any of those candy mints?

- Yes, I've got them. Sit down.

Great. Thanks a lot.

- I'm sticking with you on this.

- Just buckle in. Okay?

[Man ] Tower, come in. This is 593.

We are ready for takeoff.

[Man #2 On Radio ]

[ Beeps ]

[ Man ]

Take off.

If you open the tomb, it'll be war.

And you will not make it out.

I 'I I be careful then.

Okay?

Just stick my pinky in.

No, that won't fly.

- [ Man ] What was that?

- Under control.

- [ Woman Screams ]

- Go, please, now.

Proceeding.

No. No can do.

[Man On Radio ]

[Pilot ]

Conditions seem normal, but no can do.

Listen here.

Listen. You all want to

fly to Samarkand, right?

[All]

Yes! Yes!

They all want to go.

Understand?

Off we go.

- Losing runway. Yes or no?

- Wheels up.

We're not gonna make it.

We need more thrust!

Get her nose up!

Pull her up!

Get the damn landing gear up!

Oh, my God.

[Man On Radio ]

"GORSVET-

LIGHT AND POWER COMPANY"

I didn't send for you.

Why aren't we doing anything?

Want some? Mmm, mmm.

No.

Once a man of ours

found himself in danger.

And he broke the Truce.

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.

"CAF ZOAR"

[Bells Jingle ]

Zoar, give me the Chalk.

Here it is.

You don't get it.

I mean the magic Chalk.

It's the magic Chalk.

- And where do the markings go?

- Well, here.

- On the blackboard.

- And does it work?

[ Chuckles ]

Every day.

What do I write?

- [Zoar] Whatever you want.

- [ Chuckles ]

"YEGOR"

[Knocks ]

[ No Audible Dialogue ]

[Bells Jingle ]

How is it? 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.

[ Humming ]

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?

[Doorbell Rings ]

[Doorbell Rings ]

- [Doorbell Rings ]

- Oh.
