Are you still there, at the gallery?

Not exactly. I am in the ladies' room.

Even the ladies' room is all fancy.

Miriam's taste is not that bad.

Have no clue why I used to hate her.

What's going on with you?

Nothing much, they are

just trying to kill me...

Don't exaggerate.

You sure you don't want to come?

Gruzinskaya is really close to you.

What's the number?

OK, bye!

Hi! Do you still take orders?

Yes. What would you like?

I've added stuff to my basket.

Delivery to Gruzinskaya street.

Can you see it?

Yes.

Is it possible to deliver it today?

Express delivery is double the price.

OK.

Only we are out of horse manure.

What kind would you like?

The most regular kind.

No soil, no saw dust.

Do you have something like that?

What do you need it for?

For an exhibition.

I want to make

an installation out of sh*t.

No, we don't have that kind.

Then I'll let you choose.

- How many bags?

- Ten should be enough.

And don't bother taking it inside.

You can dump it at the entrance.

Thank you for your order.

It will be delivered soon.

You beat me to it.

I was about to call you too.

I looked up the plan

of your building.

You can get out through the cellar.

I'll walk out

the front door in a bit.

Leo, I found a debtor who

committed suicide.

His case is closed for some reason.

Right, because the debtor is no more.

No, I get it... When a debtor dies

his case is closed.

And his files are deleted from

the system. Not the case here.

Here it's marked that

the debt was paid off.

Maybe someone messed up the files?

No.

The body hasn't been found.

In these cases...

private detectives

come into play, right?

You need the detective

who was on his case?

Yes, that would help.

I'll email it to you.

Why don't you want to escape?

Well...

I sort of forgot...

...my running shoes.

Arthur? It's Roman.

Your phone is busy all the time.

Yes, I am incredibly popular today.

Did you forget something?

You want to fire me post fact um?

Easy!

I sent the police over

to help you leave the building.

So you are my saviour?

How do I ever repay you?

Stop fooling about!

I have it all figured out!

Together we find the woman

...and I make a statement.

I'll explain to the journalists that

it was carefully planned out revenge.

That there is no

compromising evidence.

That the video is a fake.

I fired you because we needed time.

To find her.

Why aren't you saying anything?

Or have you found another job already?

Has Leo finally lured you away?

When did you start

listening in on my calls?

That's what I get

instead of a thank you?

I am trying to figure out

how to save him.

And he is accusing me

of all kinds of crap.

I am not judging you, I just

want to know when it started.

Today? Or much earlier?

Arthur, we need to make a decision.

Are you in on my plan or

do you need time to think about it?

I've thought about it already.

Thank you for firing me.

It's a pity you didn't do it sooner...

So you are going to work for Leo?

Because he offered you more?

Is he listening to us now?

Of course, we are competitors.

It's part of the job.

Don't pretend like you are the victim.

Let's talk business.

They made me fire you,

threatened to dissolve the company.

You can't even begin to imagine at

what levels I had to justify myself.

But Leo also humiliated you

by taking away all your interest.

At least he didn't block

my access to the database.

You think he gave you

the database to help you?

I talked to him a minute ago.

He is willing to give you up.

Do you want to know his price?

I you don't believe me I can send you

the recording.

To hell with both of you!

Yes, Leo, dear.

You asked to find the detective.

I sent you something even better.

No need to thank me...

It's Tamara, from the vet Clinic.

I talked to the doctor...

He said it's no use.

A basal scull fracture.

There is nothing we can do.

It has a few more minutes to live,

maybe an hour...

So it was all for nothing?

So you were right?

I shouldn't have picked the dog up

in the first place.

I didn't mean what I said

Don't take it personally.

You did the right thing...

People don't usually

bother with sick dogs.

Especially stray ones.

You are a good man!

No. I left it at first.

Then I got stuck in traffic.

I turned around to make a detour

and there it was again.

Is it in pain?

No, he is unconscious.

He? It's a boy?

Yes.

He is a pretty big boy too.

5 or 6 years old.

I don't even know his name.

He probably didn't have one.

It's a stray dog.

Are you sure?

Yes.

There are signs. In his hair.

Would you like to give him a name?

Why?

So he has one.

Have you noticed that even stray dogs

respond to a whistle?

They also want for

someone to call them.

Let's call him...

Arthur.

Arthur?

I don't think it suits a dog.

Right... Not a suitable name.

Is he far now?

No, he is right here, on a cart.

Did you want something?

Could you...?

No, it's going to sound silly...

...pass the phone to him?

Yes.

Of course.

Hello?

Hello, it's about the manure.

I called not too long ago...

Could I cancel the order?

I don't need a refund.

Just cancel the delivery.

No can do, I've already delivered it.

So fast?

- There was no traffic

- Sh*t.

I can't talk right now,

I am being held by security.

Wait, could you pass the phone

to the guard, I'll try to explain.

They want to talk to you.

Hello!

This man was delivering my order...

He wasn't going to sabotage

the gallery opening.

It was my idea...

I will pay for everything,

just please let him go.

I knew it was you.

Tatiana?

Thank you for your confession.

It was really something.

When the car dumped the bags and

blocked the entrance...

They all thought it was scripted,

like it was part of the show.

I am sorry!

I am willing to cover all expenses.

Can you let the man go?

- I already did.

- Thank you.

It's been going sh*t all day.

First they hung up

the paintings wrong.

Then they served warm champagne.

And as if that wasn't enough,

my gift arrives?

Your manure was just what we needed.

The public wasn't too impressed

with the paintings.

People started leaving

a few minutes after the opening.

And then your manure blocks the exit.

Everyone thought it was planned.

They even applauded.

The journalists will have something

to write about tomorrow.

I hope it's not just manure

in the photos.

At this point it doesn't matter.

As long as they write something.

I owe you one.

Ksenia still there?

No, she left with Trubnikov.

Arthur, wait, let me go out into

the balcony, it's too noisy here.

The party continues?

I met an old college

friend at the gallery.

She invited me to her place.

Haven't seen her for 10 years.

Say 'hi' to your friend!

She's heard a lot about you...

Good things.

Amazing.

I would invite you over too.

But it's just my college mates.

You'll be bored.

I get it.

I am not trying to get invited.

Something you wanted?

Ksenia, let's break up?
