Hunting Piranha (IOkhota na Piranyu) Page #4

---

No, it was just a game.

No hunt has started yet.

Have patience, lbragim.

And l went to..

the graduation school class

in Tashkent.

My dad had been transferred there.

l served my second sentence in Tashkent.

Our prison chief was

Moustair Roustamovich Faizoullaev.

He was a man with a real heart.

He was totally bald like a female knee,

And he kept asking me about the books

l had read at school,

about my mom and my first love.

And his death was so bizarre.

A car ran over him.

Both Prokhor and he owe to me a debt.

- Who?

- Zhgoutov Vassily Stepanovich.

- ln fact he's an officer from my prison.

- Now what?

lf we succeed, l'll take Zhgoutov.

- Shut your dog up!

- Come on!

Finish him up!

l didn't mean him. l meant his dog.

Prokhor!

Don't move!

Don't touch anything!

Freeze, everyone!

Don't shoot! Don't waste the rounds!

- He's not stupid enough to stay here.

- Wow! That's something.

Follow me!

What an idiot l am! Why do l always succumb

to your ideas? We might be in St. Pete now.

You wanted to see your brother.

Are you pleased

with what you got instead?

Do you think this hero is saving us?

He's saving himself.

We accept the challenge.

Why did he use the plural?

l wasn't taught to fight.

l'm a pediatrician.

- And l thought you were a man.

- lf you have no brains, you'd better shut up.

lf we stay together,

we'll be killed for sure.

And l want to survive.

l want to continue working.

ln three years

l'll have my own hospital department.

And this hero may run around

as much as he wishes.

l assume he likes being a hero.

And l'd like to live up

to my oldest age.

Leave him to me. He'll be my toy.

Your? Finders keepers.

And l'll wait for him here.

Who are you really, submarine officer?

Slavka, get out! We're here!

What else do you have in mind?

Where are you?

Prokhor Petrovich,

we won't see him that way.

- Any suggestions?

- No. Unless he comes out on his own.

l see. A special forces man?

Or something like that.

Soldier, where is your ammo?

lt's called low readiness.

l think he'll head towards

the trees over there right now.

He's after the trophies.

Who's that avid marksman out there?

To hell with this manhunt.

Need a hand, Vassily Stepanovich?

You never draw any lessons

from your double life.

No lessons.

- lt's me.

- Put the gun down.

And move away from him.

Put your gun down too.

And do it slowly.

Prokhor, dear, l've found him.

Hey!

Sailor!

Are you always so timid about women?

No, dear, sometimes, l'm very gentle.

Where are you?

Wow!

Are you scared?

Calm down! Calm down!

Be quiet!

Prosha, dear, l've found

another prey too! Rush here!

Try it again.

And one more time.

Do you want to come up to me?

lt's becoming boring.

Parking's not allowed here!

Are you leaving with me?

Or will you stay with them?

l see. Good-bye.

Thanks for the shoestring.

And where is our doctor?

l see. So our victorious breakfast

has been cancelled.

All right. Off we go.

Sergey, are you here?

Contact our people in the chopper

and summon everyone here. l mean the governor,

militia forces, everyone. l need the man.

l need him alive.

And if anyone hurts him,

l'll kill the bastard.

Now we begin the real manhunt.

Up and running, everyone!

Now what?

Our man of iron

has melted down, hasn't he?

He's not a man of iron.

Why are you standing so still?

No one has cancelled our dinner so far.

And l'll have to save the world after it.

Kirill,

my former boss Zhgutov

has made this present to me.

- ls it a cell phone?

- No, it's a satellite phone. Fully operational.

Would you mind

making a call to your friends?

- What friends?

- To your mom.

l'll try to.

- l've got a connection.

- Talk, dear, the call is very expensive.

Hello, Alpha, this is BS-30.

Can you hear me? Hello?

BS-30's just hit the airwaves.

lt seems to me that...

- What?

- She's on Line 2. Press the button!

Hey, BS-30, this is Alpha.

- lt is your turn now.

- Hello! Hello!

- Who is that?

- Captain Mazour.

Mazour? Are you mad?

The line is not secure.

Where in the hell have you been?

l don't have the slightest idea

where we are now.

lt is somewhere around Shantarsk.

- Take the location off the satellite.

- Report according to the protocol.

Mazour reporting:

The facility has been destroyed.

Most of the substance

has been destroyed.

But a few containers were stolen

by some unidentified people.

They are under the command of

a man named Prokhor.

A manhunt has been declared on us.

What manhunt? Where are you?

Somewhere in the taiga. There are

two of us and two more civilians.

Hello! Hello! Hello!

Hello!

The batteries've gone dead.

- Did you locate them?

- Yes.

- Gimme the map, quickly.

- lt is over here.

l think we must report to Mazour's

commanders and organize the rescue mission.

Are you mad? They can't be there.

The point is 200 miles away

from the facility.

Hey, listen. There was

no call from anyone.

Our people have died, because

they officially can't be there.

The lake doesn't officially exist.

Neither exists this storage facility.

We can't afford any information leaks.

Do you understand that?

Mazour reported some of

the substance as stolen.

l haven't heard anything. What report?

Who is Mazour?

And do we really care about it?

The most important thing is that

the facility has been destroyed.

ln three weeks it will become

the Chinese territory after all.

And l don't care about the things happening

somewhere in a distant corner of the globe.

lf we start making fuss

around this matter,

or send out any rescue missions,

the whole thing will become public.

And it will be an international scandal.

Do you understand that, Colonel?

- Not quite.

- You don't seem to understand it at all.

Did they hear you at all?

Did they understand it was your call?

l don't really know.

Quiet, everybody!

Follow me!

Under the tree!

Might it be our people who have

located the point of the outgoing call?

The chopper isn't ours.

All our people are here under the tree.

That's all. We're moving on! Hurry!

lf the troops are alerted,

you know my reaction.

Hurry, everyone!

There are four people in the group: two males

and two females. l'll bring you the photos.

l value each man at $100,000.

Got it?

Now listen. The shipment

has already been delivered.

As soon as l capture them, send it out.

That's all. Roger.

You've told me we are going

to pick up the shipment now.

- Now you're telling him it's already in place.

- Do you want one?

Prokhor, you're endangering our business.

l can't let you do so.

- Are you trying to scare me, lbraghim?

- Look, if they got past this point,

- it means they're heading towards the fording.

- l'm calling my brother.

- Go ahead, call him.

- l'm cancelling the deal.

Hey, Samir, can you hear me?

Samir!

Samir, l'm weeping now

because l have to tell you

a horrible piece of news.

Your brother isn't with us anymore.

Samir, he was like a brother to me too.
