Leviathan Page #6

What?

Forgive her. She's...

She's a good person.

Have you forgiven her?

I'm trying.

OK, better get going.

Put it down here.

Hey.

- Where's Lilya?

- She didn't come today.

- What?

- I'm serious.

I tried calling her too -

says "number unavailable".

Isn't she home?

Number unavailable.

OK, Ill be off.

Can you give me a lift?

- What?

- Can I get a lift?

Oh, sure, get in.

She ran off to him. To Moscow.

I don't doubt it for a second.

What else could have happened?

Anything. Do you know

how many people go missing?

I don't believe in "anything".

What about the cops?

What about them?

Have to wait three days.

That's a bunch of sh*t.

You can report it right away.

Take it from the wife

of a law enforcement officer.

OK,

I go to the cops and tell them what?

"My wife ran off to Moscow

to her lover.

"Here's her name and number.

Get her back."

Hey, if you want,

I can call him right now.

I already tried over and over.

And?

Nothing. No answer.

We have to do something.

And I wouldn't be surprised

if he took my money

from that bastard and bailed.

And she joined him later.

Hi, Kolya.

Where's Roma?

He went home.

- When?

- About 20 minutes ago.

Get the door!

They found her.

Move away.

Come on.

Why?

Why, Lord?

What can I get you, Kolya?

Vodka, what else? 2 bottles.

Hello, Kolya.

Hey, Father Vasily.

Well?

Where's your...

merciful God Almighty?

Mine is with me.

As for yours, I wouldn't know.

Who do you pray to?

Haven't seen you in church.

You don't fast, take communion

or go to confession.

If I lit candles and all,

would things be different?

Maybe it's not too late to start?

Would I get my wife

back from the dead?

And my house?

Or is it too late?

I don't know.

Our Lord moves in mysterious ways.

You don't know?

Then why do you call me

to confession?

What do you know then?

- Want some?

- No.

"Can you pull in Leviathan

with a fishhook

"or tie down its tongue with a rope?

"Will it keep begging you for mercy?

"Will it speak to you

with gentle words?

"Nothing on earth is its equal.

"It is king over all that are proud."

Father Vasily...

I'm talking to you

as a regular person.

Why the f***ing riddles?

What for?

Have you heard of a man called Job?

Like you, he was preoccupied

with the meaning of life.

"Why?" he asked.

"Why me of all people?"

He worried so much

he became covered with scabs.

His wife tried to talk some sense

into him; his friends told him

to not evoke God's anger.

But he kept kicking up dust

and sprinkling ash on his head.

Then the Lord relented

and appeared to him

in the form of a hurricane

and explained everything to him

in pictures.

And?

Job resigned himself to his fate

and lived to be 140.

Got to see 4 generations

of his family

and died old

and content.

Is that a fairy tale?

No,

it's in the Bible.

Let me help you carry that.

Come on.

Thanks.

The funeral service is tomorrow.

They just called.

Yulia, there's some bread for you.

God bless you.

Glory be to God. Eat up.

How terrible...

Do you think she did this herself?

The forensic tests will tell.

Remember

how Kolya threatened to kill her?

- Come on now.

- He did.

- So what?

- He could have done it.

He's capable, I swear.

- You hear me?

- What the hell?

- Did you hear me?

- I heard you.

- And?

- You're the cop. You tell me.

Use your brain.

Dad...

Will you ever stop drinking?

I will.

I'm quitting tomorrow.

You believe me?

Son...

Sit. Let's talk.

Forget it. I'm going out.

All right.

Go.

- Hello.

- Hi. Is your dad home?

- He's asleep.

- I see.

- Hey, where are you going?

- Easy, easy.

- Dad! Some guys just barged in!

- Sit down and be quiet.

- What?

- Sit down, I said.

Get up. Homicide department.

You ignored the court order.

What court order?

This one.

Roma!

Sit down!

Dad!

We have every reason to believe

you killed your wife

and then faked her drowning.

What?

Are you crazy?

We discovered signs of violence

on the body.

She was murdered,

then pushed into the water.

She died from a blow

with a blunt object

to the back of her head.

Not long before that,

she had sexual intercourse.

The investigation is looking

into the possibility of rape.

We'll take your sperm for tests.

Something tells me

it will be a match.

Next,

we have testimony

from Angela Polivanova

and her husband, Pasha Polivanov

to the effect that a few days

prior to the murder,

while at a picnic,

you had a fight with your wife

and her lover in front of witnesses.

after you caught them having sex.

You beat up the lover,

a man called Dmitri,

whose identity

is currently being established,

then hit your wife, and afterwards

threatened to kill them both.

This testimony was confirmed

by Ivan Stepanych Degtyaryev,

Lieutenant Colonel

of the traffic police,

who was also present.

In addition,

the suspected murder weapon,

a hammer with the shape matching

that of the Victim's head wound,

was found in a building

on your property.

It has been taken for testing.

Would you like to comment

on any of this?

Personally, I would advise you

to write a full confession.

We have more than enough evidence.

A confession may reduce the sentence.

Pursuant to Article 105 Part 1,

you'll get up to 15 years

unless there are

aggravating circumstances,

in which case,

it'll be up to 20 years.

Right...

In any case,

we're detaining you for 48 hours

as a murder suspect.

I'll petition the court

for a warrant for your arrest

as a flight risk and as someone

who might impede the investigation.

Also...

you have the right to a lawyer.

If you don't have a lawyer,

the state will appoint one for you.

Do you understand?

I don't understand any of this.

You'll have plenty of time

to think it over.

- Hello.

- Just one?

Just one.

Listen...

My son's left all alone.

We've got no relatives.

Don't sh*t yourself.

The state will take care of him.

Roma, open up.

It's Angela and Pasha.

Are you alone?

Yes, it's just us.

How are you?

I'm all right.

Why didn't you call me

when they took your dad?

I don't have your number.

How long have you

been here alone?

I don't know.

5 days, I think.

Roma...

A lawyer called.

Your dad was accused

of murdering Lilya.

He'll be in jail till the trial.

Then, they'll take him to prison.

They have proof.

That's not true.

Why would I lie to you?

Why didn't he call me?

They must let him call me.

Look, Roma,

the lawyer said that

if there's no one to take care of you,

they'll put you in an orphanage.

I can take care of myself.

By law, until you turn 18,

you must live

in an orphanage or with a guardian.

Pasha and I talked it over...

We'd like to be your guardians.

You've got no one else, right?

Is it because of the money?

What money?

Won't you get paid for it?

How should I know?

But if you agree,

I'll definitely find out.

I guess the state

would probably help out,

but that's not why we're offering.

Why then?

I don't know.
