If you know where he is

but you're not telling because he asked you -

fine, don't tell.

I understand it, really.

The main thing is that you are sure

that you friend is safe, alive and well.

We are the grown-ups,

we'll run, we'll search, it's not a problem.

Just like the hide-and-seek, right?

Do you play a game with us?

- I really don't know where he is.

- Okay, I believe you.

And where can he be?

I know, you have a camp.

To be honest, I don't know where it is,

but I really know that it exists.

You chatted about it on VKontakte.

If you really don't know where Alyosha is,

but you assume he could be there,

you have to tell us where this place is.

Because you friend might be in danger now.

Look, bro, we'll find him anyway.

But it can be too late, and it will be sad.

What's more important for you,

a friend or some place?

You'll find plenty of other places like that!

And if you gave some oath,

believe me, you aren't breaking it now,

because you're saving your friend,

and he really needs your help.

- It's in the forest,

the camp.

- Okay, good.

What is it? A dugout? A hut?

- No, it's an abandoned building.

It's in the basement.

- Is it better to go there on foot or by bike?

- It quite far, better by bike.

- Will you show?

You helped us a lot, thank you.

The boy of yours is a fine fellow.

Tell me, do you have some more time?

- Yes, I do.

- Good. Will you go with us?

Would you help?

- Okay.

- Thank you, good bye!

- Good bye!

- So? Shall we go?

- Yeah, let's go.

One moment.

- It's there.

- That's his jacket.

- Grandpa Pihto to Ivan, over.

We found a jacket, the father is sure it's his.

How copy?

- Acknowledged.

In this case we search

all the complex of buildings and surroundings.

I remind:

Mark dangerous, strange places

inform about them but don't go inside.

There are professionals for that.

Don't increase the suffering, don't get hurt.

If something like this happens

we stop the search

and focus our efforts

on helping the partner.

First, contact the coordinator,

that is, me.

Medical assistance is provided

by the doctor only. He's there.

Until he comes,

the "runner", in case he's physically restrained,

stays untouched, we talk to him,

we comfort him verbally,

wait for the doctor.

Okay, let's race.

The race is a metaphor, don't take it literally.

Okay, let's go!

- Dawn to Ivan.

First floor and basement checked.

What are the further actions? How copy?

- Acknowledged, Dawn. Roger that.

You can help Fox 1 in the neighbour building.

Over.

- Acknowledged. Roger.

- Granpda Pihto to Ivan.

Roof and all rooms of the 2nd floor examined.

No traces.

How copy? Over.

- Acknowledged. Message for everybody.

Object closed, the both buildings.

The boy's not found, we search the forest next.

- Hello.

- Hello.

- We need you help.

- Listening.

- We're from the search-and-rescue squad,

we're looking for a boy,

Alyosha Sleptsov, 12 years old, this is his mother.

He ran away and could have called himself

by different name.

We know that you received a boy

who fits the description.

Can we see him?

- You two, take a seat here, please.

And you go with me.

- Is he okay?

- He's fine, just tired and scared.

- Scared by what?

- Well, the police picked him up in the street

yesterday at night.

They kept him till the morning somewhere,

then brought here.

- How could they do that? They know about him,

I filed a report.

- They know nothing.

Another shift came, that's it.

Some strange kid,

who says nothing. They took him to the hospital.

A usual procedure.

Come in.

Hey... Wake up.

- Don't rush!

Keep up!

Maintain the visual contact.

Keep together.

- No, we didn't see him here.

You cannot get to the territory

without a pass or a special permit.

It's a secure area.

- May I leave the posters?

Maybe the other shift saw him?

- No problem.

- Thanks a lot.

- Thank you!

- Fox 1, doing the calling.

Aaa-lyooo-shaaa!

Aaa-lyooo-shaaa!

Aaa-lyooo-shaaa!

- Grandpa Pihto to Ivan.

Came to the river. No traces.

How copy?

- Acknowledged. Come back.

- Roger.

- What about in the river?

- We don't look for the dead.

It's done by the police or the Extreme Measures,

if there are reasons.

Crew! Go back!

Return to the base.

- Fox 1, we're going back.

- With regard to the absence of a positive result

in the search of a "runner" and

a sharp worsening of weather conditions

I make a decision

to change the status of the search.

We start an intense informing of the public

about a child gone missing.

We start the total poster put-up:

bus stops, underground crossings,

doorways, light poles,

benches, information boards,

fences, shops if there's permission

of the administrator.

As usually.

Now, I need 2 groups of 5 people

to check the doorways.

Great, we'll sort it out.

The others get on the put-up.

Okay, let's go!

- The descriptions are here.

- Thanks.

- Dawn to Ivan. The elevator stopped

at the 3rd floor. How copy?

- Acknowledged. We wait.

- It's going down.

- Oh. Good evening.

- Howdy...

- Dawn to Ivan. It's not him.

- Acknowledged. Keep the surveillance.

- Young man...

- Let's go...

- ...are you?

- Excuse us, please...

You silly.

- I almost fixed your love life...

- Yeah, right.

- Wow, the "green fellows"...

From what planet are you, boys?.

- Young lady, please, go.

- How polite!

- Wait here.

Hello!

Here we are.

Anton, can you...

It'll be hard.

- I am ready.

It's not him...

Alyosha had a birthmark here, on the chest...

A birthmark, on a chest...

Not him...

- Are you sure?.

No, no, it's not him...

These hands and fingers...

Hair, everything... No, it's not him...

Please, take him away...

Please, take away...

- In fact, we should perform

a comparative DNA analysis

so that we're sure that...

- It's not him, isn't it clear?

- You know, sometimes people

just refuse to believe that...

- It's not him, how many times

must I repeat?

- Listen to me,

this analysis can be done only by you.

The cops haven't initiated a case yet,

they'll drag it...

- God, you must be kidding me You don't here me?

It's not him, how many times must I repeat?

I'm talking to you in plain Russian - it's not him!

- Zhenya...

- It's not him!

Why are you silent?

Why are you silent?

- Zhenya!

- I would have never given him away!

You hear me, bastard?

- Zhenya!

- I would have never given him to anybody!

No way in the world! God...

To no one in the...

- Take her.

[Voice from the TV, talking about the war in Ukraine]

- Well, we have discussed everything

with your auntie.

Generally speaking, she likes this option.

- Want some?

- Mhm.

What about you, guys? Are you ready?

Have you talked to him?

- I have. He said he'll think.

- There's nothing to think about.

A great option, I think.

Mash, you see yourself,

we live on the top of each other here.
