The purchase price was determined

based on an evaluation.

Per Mr Sergeyev's request,

Alliance Ltd estimated the value

of liabilities

for the loss of agricultural production

due to the seizure of the land parcel

of 0.66 acres for the town's needs.

The market value of the liabilities

constitutes 3.5 million roubles.

The court questions...

...and deems it invalid.

The Court upholds the purchase price

of 639,540.27 roubles

as determined

by the Town Administration's evaluation.

The Court rejects the statement that

the purchase procedure was violated.

The case file contains letters

about the purchase and testimony

of Town Administration officials

stating that Mr Sergeyev

had been notified

of the seizure of the land parcel.

The Court casts doubt

on Mr Sergeyev's claims

that he didn't receive

these notifications.

Having examined Mr Sergeyev's appeal,

Pribrezhny Town Court has concluded

that Mr Sergeyev failed to establish

grounds to repeal the court ruling

pursuant to article 330

of the Civil Procedural Code.

As per articles 320-335 of the Civil

Procedural Code, the court denies

Mr Sergeyev's petition to revoke

the ruling of the Zagorye District Court.

That ruling is upheld,

and Mr Sergeyev's appeal is denied.

The ruling

shall come into effect forthwith.

Well, shall we go?

In a minute.

Vadim, every time you come,

all you do

is worry about the election.

It's not for another year.

In fair weather, prepare for foul.

You do well to tend

to worldly matters,

but remember the divine.

But I...

Don't I already?

I know.

You're a most...

charitable patron.

Even today, you come from afar,

bearing gifts.

Have some fish.

Right.

I'm telling you,

don't worry so much.

All power comes from God.

As long as God wishes for it,

you need not worry.

And does He?

Who can I ask if not you?

You're the priest!

He does.

Chase it with some food.

Hello.

Yes. Thank God, finally.

Get Tyagunov's guys on it.

Why wait?

Tear down that bastard's

f***ing place already!

We've lost so much time

because of him.

How's that your fault?

Drop the excuses!

OK, later.

Lyosha, get my thing...

from the glove compartment.

Hey, Vasya.

Let's pay that f***ing arsehole...

a visit real quick.

The one at the bottom of the hill.

- Past the bridge?

- Yes.

There are lots of arseholes

at the bottom of hills.

What?

You trying to be smart now?

It's obvious that the prick

wants this place

so he can build himself a palace!

Calm down. That's enough.

I built this place with my own hands!

Here we go again.

Kolya...

Here.

My whole life is here.

My grandfather lived here.

And my father...

He's seen it before.

Stay out of this!

Stop yelling!

Kolya, calm down.

Come on, Dima.

Let's have a drink.

Here's to you.

All right.

- To everything you've done for us.

- If you say so, bro.

Thank you.

Thank you.

What are you talking about?

It'll be fine.

But that dirt of yours...

Kolya, that's not my f***ing dirt.

It's his.

All I'm saying is,

I don't see a way

to put your theory to work.

Either way,

they're knocking this place down.

We'll buy that crappy apartment

near Angela's

with that 639,000 roubles

and 27 kopecks

and I'll become a cop, like Pasha.

Oh no...

Listen, bro,

this is not like you.

You hear me?

You've never let problems

get to you before.

What's the matter with you?

Things were different.

We're not 20 anymore.

The years take their toll.

Anyway, what are you on about?

Are you a shrink now?

I'm no f***ing shrink.

But f***, man, it's like...

You can look

at this situation differently.

How is that?

F***ing hell...

You're my brother!

Take on the challenge,

for f***'s sake!

It's a fresh start!

Easy for you to say.

You're off to Moscow tomorrow...

What's Moscow got to do with it?

Come with me then. You hear me?

Why not?

- To Moscow?

- Sure.

Pack your bags.

Rent a studio apartment

for starters, for about 30,000.

Oh, wow!

What? That's a fair price.

A f***ing genius handyman like you

won't have any problems finding work!

With your hands, you'll be all right.

We'll find something for Lilya, too.

Maybe in some shop at first.

Anything is better than cleaning fish

at that stinking fish farm.

What's the matter with you, bro?

What about Roma?

What about him? He'll go to school.

He's a kid. He goes to school!

Sort of...

He's barely a C-student.

Who will take him?

They're required to.

They'll take him.

Kolya!

I'm not a C-student. I get Bs.

Don't get worked up.

What are you doing listening to us?

Why would I do that?

I just went to the toilet.

Come over here then!

Come on.

What's up guys? You need help?

Kolya, don't you recognise authority

when you see it?

And what do you want, "Authority"?

Just all of this.

Come and get it.

Will it all fit

into your hearse?

What else?

You're all insects.

You always have to make things

difficult, don't you?

That's way you're all drowning in sh*t.

Kolya,

have you packed your suitcases?

Look, sir, it's you

who's not supposed to be here now.

The court ruling

hasn't taken effect yet.

And your office doesn't entitle you

to come here. Do you have a warrant?

Who are you?

Dmitri Seleznev,

Moscow Bar Association.

Kolya's lawyer in litigation

with your gang.

Oh, yeah, I heard someone

babbling about that.

So what's up, Kolya?

Can't stand up for yourself anymore?

Ignore him, man.

Take it easy, Kolya.

I'll stand up to you, b*tch.

Please, no more, I just sh*t myself.

Scary stuff.

- Sir...

- OK.

Maybe I just wanted to have

a friendly drink with you.

By the way, where is it?

Give it here.

Want some?

No?

Guess not.

I'm not gonna offer him any.

I don't like his kind.

Anyway, I wanted to tell you

something to bear in mind.

Lilya, call the police.

Go ahead, Lilya, call them!

The police. Do it.

What's your name, kid?

Listen, Vadim,

why are you doing this?

You're not so drunk

that you don't know...

Shut your mouth, you courtroom rat.

And you, listen up.

- F*** off.

- Remember my face!

Ignore him, bro.

You piece of sh*t.

You've never had any f***ing rights

and never will!

Where the f*** are you going?

Listen, it would be best

if you go now.

You are trespassing.

And the owners are not happy

to see you.

Vadim, let's not escalate the situation.

What did you just say?

I'm the owner.

- Got it?

- Got it. I've got it.

Let's talk about that tomorrow.

Tomorrow.

We have some business to discuss.

Ivan has told me a lot about you.

Ivan who?

Ivan Kostrov.

From the Committee. Kostrov.

Just because we can't see them,

doesn't mean they're not there.

Anyway, I'm tired of you all...

So what about tomorrow?

Tomorrow.

Between 3 and 5pm.

Office hours for constituent issues.

I'm all right. I'm all right.

Kolya, are you going out hunting

or something?

Give me that.

Bro,

tomorrow we'll write a statement

about his abuse of office.

We'll tear him to bits, Kolya!

Dima...

I won't go to Moscow.
