Here we are.

- What are you doing?

- We're just sweeping the carpet.

Listen, comrades... Finita la commedia!

First I'm going to remove this.

Watch me now... One, two...

Three!

When I've done my time...

I'll quit!

That'll be it.

Then I'm going to get a job.

What job?

- As a night guard in your village?

- Why A night guard?

I can be a janitor, or a bricklayer,

or a translator.

I know English now.

If only we had that hat with us.

Who's Docent?

A wrong guy.

You have plenty of those,

but only one gold hat.

If we turn that helmet in,

our sentence might be reduced.

Where could he have stashed it?

We've tried everywhere.

You no good crook!

I told you I had a cold.

And all you could say was "clobber".

Made me dive in this weather.

- When did he make you do that?

- When they nabbed us, remember?

He told us he went fishing,

and he made me dive in the water,

when it was thirty below.

Wait a minute.

What did he say about fishing?

That he'd been fishing through an ice

hole, and he asked me if I could swim.

He put the helmet in that ice hole!

Look at him! He remembers!

It's in the hole, in Malakhovka!

And you kept it from us! You could've

left a note when you hanged yourself!

- Come on!

- And him?

Leave him for the cops.

He's too heavy to drag him along.

Come on!

Archeologists! Hello?

- There's not a damn thing here.

- It's there, at the bottom.

- Go on, dive.

- But Why Me?

Cross-eyes is always the scapegoat!

- Vassia, tell him to do it himself.

- No. I'd catch my death of a cold.

Afraid to catch cold?

A guy who's hanged himself!

You guys looking for something?

Dive for it!

And make it quick!

- Which way to the landing dock, girl?

- Straight ahead.

I'd waste you, boys...

but I've got other things to do.

Halt!

They are doubling up!

And a third one is back at the house!

Halt!

One!

Good for you, Fyodor Petrovich!

Two!

The more Docents we deliver,

the better for us.

What about us?

We give up, too!

They've shaved his head already.
