building a spaceport,

traveling around the world and so on.

- No, nothing like that,

doesn't do sports.

I think, he sits at home usually.

- "You think"? I see.

If so, then he has a computer?

Is his laptop on the table?

- Yes.

- Yeah, we're trying to limit the...

- Especially you do.

- Look, you can discuss your relations later, okay?

- Yes, sorry.

- Have you got the access to the computer?

- Yes.

- Get the access to his e-mail, to the accounts

in the social networks,

addresses of his friends, girlfriends, buddies.

- He has only one friend.

Kuznetsov, I think.

- Mhm.

"You think", again? Alright.

- I have all his logins and passwords,

he really has only one friend - Kuznetsov,

in real life, I mean.

In the social networks...

- Yeah, I got it.

Okay. The closest relatives where he could go to?

Grannies, grandpas, uncles, ants, cousins?

- My husband has none, I have a mother

she lives in the Moscow region.

- We haven't been there for 3 years,

I don't think the brat remembers.

- "The brat"? I see.

I hope you called the granny

and she said he's not there?

- No, I can't reach her.

You know, our relations are very...

- What do you mean, you can't reach her?

- She wasn't answering at first

then became out of reach.

The phone-line is quite bad there.

- The phone-line is good, the woman is quite insane.

- Mm. The granny with a spirit?

- Mhm.

- Did you call the neighbours?

- No, I have no phone number.

- It's her house, her area, the neighbours...

It's better to stay away, or else...

- What if she's hiding

that Alyosha is there,

if he asks her to do so, for example.

- No, I don't think so.

- She can do anything,

she's a female Stalin.

- Enough!

We went there only by car,

How is he gonna get there?

- What if she'd been secretly

communicating with him?

Ain't it possible?

- She doesn't love him!

- Loves, doesn't love. She used him

as a tool against me.

- Look, we must go to your granny urgently.

Where exactly does she live?

- In a summer house, all the time.

Kiev direction.

It's not easy to explain,

there's a small side-road from the highway.

- But you're with a car?

- Yes.

- How long till there?

- Around 3 hours, maybe 2,5.

- Here's what we do.

You give me all the contacts

of his friends and fellows,

including the phone of the head teacher.

I hope you have it?

- We do...

- Great, also all the logins and passwords.

I take the computer with me to the headquarters.

After that, we act according to the situation.

Meanwhile you... Is it the head teacher's?

Good.

Meanwhile, you two jump into the car

and head to your wonderful granny.

Lena joins you, you saw her.

She's our experienced searcher.

She'll be behind you, she has a car.

On the way, try reaching the granny nevertheless.

When you arrive, inspect everything carefully,

don't miss anything.

Report me the results immediately,

no matter what they are.

Understood?

- Yes.

- Will you manage?

Any questions?

We'll leave someone here at the flat,

in case the boy comes back.

So, shall we start?

Let's go!

- Damn you...

Can you switch that off, my head aches!

- There's a pill in the glove compartment.

- Switch off! Please!

You think he's at her place?

- Where else? Think about it.

What a mess has he made...

Chose a good time, little sh*t.

- What if something horrible happened to him?

- Let's not even think this way.

He's completely alright.

Just wait, he'll get what he deserves.

You can't smoke here.

- How could I forget.

I'll smoke out of the window.

- I said don't!

- What will you do? Throw me onto the road?

- So, your head stopped aching, right?

- Raise the windows.

Raise the windows!

B*tch!

Raise the goddamned windows!

AAA!

- Wow.

They've put the gates.

What are we supposed to do?

To ram into them?

She must be constructing barricades there.

- Stop making a monster out of her.

- Is there another way in?

- Except over the fence.

- We don't have the keys.

- Got it.

- Where did she...

- Thanks...

- Mom!

Mom, open up, it's me!

Mom!

Mom!

- She's inside.

- Mom, open up, Alyosha is missing.

- Dear Lord,

Almost had a heart attack.

First they call

in the middle of the night,

like during a fire,

then I see them climbing over the fence!

Oh Lord, God save us all...

That can drive anyone crazy!

And most importantly,

I cannot find my phone.

How can I survive!

You could have warned, at least!

- I kept calling all day, don't tell me you didn't hear.

- I swear!

- First, you didn't answer, then switched it off.

- I'm telling you, I don't know where it is!

Must have lost it somewhere.

Cannot find it since morning. Well, screw it!

You better tell me, my dear,

why have you decided

that your kiddo is at my place, huh?

- He's not here. Feels like he has never been.

- We'll check everything.

- Where is he wandering?

Your goddamned dickwad. God bless us all...

You said you're divorcing, didn't you?

- You curse and pray in the same package...

- What? In what package?

In what package?

What are you blabbering?!

Are you completely nuts?

Got so clever, huh?

Don't shake your head to me!

You're talking to you mother, by the way!

Have respect!

And if you don't like something -

be off!

I didn't invite you here.

Look at her...

Why did I even give birth?.

Just look at yourself: how do you look right now?

- How?

- Like a whre!

- Mom...

- Mom what? Want a breast? Here!

"Mommy, oh mommy"...

Oh? Oh?

What, searched everything? Not here?

How could you even think about this.

No battery. Of course.

Of course there's no battery, where was it?

- Was lying under you bed.

- Must have fallen, then.

Thank God, it was found.

Well, let's have some tea, then.

Although I don't have anything sweet,

just the honey.

Became all hard over time...

- No thanks, mom.

We'll go.

- Oh how polite she is, just look at her.

You two don't even seem very upset.

"Alyosha is missing!"

You're lying, aren't you?

To make me sympathize?

You chose the wrong person.

I see right through you.

You said you're divorcing.

Decided to hand you bstard to me?

Seen this?

I told you back them and am telling right now:

I won't babysit him!

- Do you even talk to anyone except the TV?

- And when you were big-bellied,

do you remember what I was telling you?

"Change you mind, dear, change your mind!"

And what did you tell me to do, remember?

Well, I remember.

I told you you will come crawling to me

but it will be too late. And here you go.

Now it's your problem.

A good lesson for you.

- Mom, what are you talking?

Have shame, there's a stranger in the room...

- Don't teach me. Why did you start teaching me?

Why should I be ashamed?

I'm in my house, by the way.

Look at them! Trying to make a fool of me!

Brought their asses in the middle of the night,

just like thieves,

brought some valuator with them -

and I won't leave my house to you!

Do you hear me? Don't even think about it!
