Purge Page #3

---

I need to get to Tallinn

as soon as possible.

- I need a ride.

- I don't have a car.

I'm sure someone in the village has.

Can you call someone?

- I don't have a phone.

- Why not?

I don't have anyone to call.

What if somebody

wants to call you?

Are you lonely?

I've always been alone.

But you had a husband.

- You don't understand anything.

- About what?

About anything.

And your questions bring back

memories I've wanted to forget.

What kind of memories?

- They're here. The men.

- Who?

Everything's alright. Let's go.

Open it.

Go check the shed.

- What is this?

- Get in there. Quick.

Don't get your pants dirty.

What?

- Good morning, ma'am.

- Good morning.

My friend and I

have driven a long way.

Could you give us water?

The water here is good.

The well is deep.

What are you looking for?

You know what I'm looking for.

The cups are in the corner cabinet.

There's nothing to steal here.

I'm a police officer.

Pasa Aleksandrovits Popov.

- There are a lot of fake identity cards around.

- What?

I said there are a lot of

fake identity cards around.

It's healthy to be skeptical.

Sometimes.

I'd recommend you listen.

For your safety.

Have you seen a girl here?

I haven't seen anyone.

This is a quiet and remote area.

Look carefully.

Have you seen this woman?

She's a dangerous criminal,

but she can act innocent.

She's done horrible things.

How horrible?

She killed her lover in his bed,

in cold blood.

She stole his car.

This is a photo of the body.

Think again. Have you seen the girl?

No, I haven't.

Look at the photos.

I don't have to.

I've seen bodies before.

You live alone.

You're totally defenseless.

- How would she find her way here?

- She's your relative.

- Right.

- Her grandmother lives in Vladivostok. Ingel Pekk.

- She's your sister.

- I don't have a sister.

According to documents you do.

This woman, Zara Pekk,

murdered a man in this country.

You're her only contact here.

Of course she'll come here.

She left her passport

and wallet at the crime scene.

She needs your help.

- I don't have a sister.

- Where's the girl?

I don't know anything

about any goddamn girl.

Alright.

Then everything's okay, right?

Have a nice day.

A mighty fortress is your shore

Before you is an open sea

Let Lenin's flag proudly soar

And great Stalin

will guide you to victory

On this path of fortune

march brave and true

Our manhood and the will to fight

Will ever be accompanying you

We'll do it.

Something fellow workers

beyond the seas can only dream of.

We'll bring heaven down to earth.

We'll create a new human being.

Together.

This big dream was embodied

in these two men.

First in immortal Lenin.

And now in Stalin.

- Lenin!

- Lenin!

- One more time:
Lenin!

- Lenin!

Lenin is life!

Lenin is life!

Lenin will always be with you.

In hope. In joy.

Lenin is in you. Lenin is in you.

And in me.

Could you teach me

about Lenin and Stalin?

You'll be my wife soon.

I won't let anyone hurt my Aliide.

He's a party organizer from Tallinn.

You remember what the party

has done to our family?

I'll get a job.

What kind of job?

An inspector job.

- What will you inspect?

- I'll be collecting party membership fees.

Are you crazy?

People will start hating you.

Will you?

Martin will get me a nicer job

when he moves up in his career.

Are you so in love

that you're blind?

What will Hans say

about you joining the enemy?

I haven't joined anything.

You haven't?

What does Hans know about...

lying in the town hall basement...

- with piss running down your back, waiting for...

- Stop.

Everybody hates me.

I don't deserve this.

- I told you.

- Everybody's really nice to Martin.

What is it?

You smell strange nowadays.

It's Martin's smell. It stays.

That's what Hans said.

- What?

- Linda, go outside to play.

When you've been here,

he says it smells like Russkies.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean that.

I'm just so...

Hans is so restless.

He's tired of hiding.

Come.

He threatened to go into the forest.

I had to put those to stop him.

- I'm afraid he'll go mad soon.

- You can't hold him captive.

- He shouts so loud you can hear him.

- Did you hear what I said?

It's for his own good. He's safe.

Comrade Aliide Tamm.

What a nice surprise.

Martin's not home. He's in Tallinn.

I know. I came to see you.

I want you to come to town hall.

Today.

Interrogation at eight o'clock.

I don't know what to think of you,

Comrade Aliide.

I find it hard to believe

you are what you want people to see.

Do you believe in Stalin?

Yes, I do.

I would really like

to believe you do.

But you have a background.

Your parents,

your sister and her husband...

are fascists and saboteurs.

Why do you see

your sister so often...

even though she helps bandits?

- Ingel doesn't help anyone.

- I just told you.

Now you know that she helps bandits.

So what do you think of her now?

- I'm sorry, I don't understand.

- Get up.

I just told you

the truth about your sister.

You can tell me anything.

It'll stay between you and me.

We won't even tell your husband.

Sit down.

Your sister is

an enemy of the people.

I repeat. What do you think of her

now that you know the truth?

- Then I don't have a sister anymore.

- What?

- I don't have a sister anymore.

- Excuse me, what?

I don't have a sister.

Very good. We'll get

this unpleasant thing sorted out.

We're slowly starting

to build trust between us.

You have a sister,

but she's an enemy of the people.

I'll write that down.

Ingel has a daughter, doesn't she?

Linda. Why?

That's a pretty name.

A pretty name for a pretty girl.

It's a shame she has probably

learned to lie like her mother.

Linda is ten.

She doesn't know anything.

We better go.

Where?

To strengthen

this budding trust between us.

Mommy!

Mommy!

- Stop!

- Mommy! Mommy!

Take the lamp.

Don't burn your fingers.

Linda!

Show me

that you're worthy of my trust.

Mommy! Mommy!

Linda!

Whore, take the lamp

and put it where it belongs.

Let me go!

Let me go!

Liide, are you sick?

I heard

you've been in bed all day.

What is it?

I feel sick.

How did it go in Tallinn?

We'll stay here. End of story.

- I'm scared.

- Of what?

Don't ever leave me again.

Or I'll hide so deep

I won't find my way back out.

Where? What are you talking about?

Aliide.

I love you.

I'm ready to give up

everything to be with you.

- A house?

- Yes.

I'm tired of sharing a house.

And because we're staying here.

How will we get a house?

This house?

You sure?

- No other house will do?

- No.

Alright.

You know what that means?

- They're leaving.

- When?

The date is at the top of the page.

Do they know?

Oh no.

Otherwise they could run away.

Only we here know.

And now you.

- Now we need evidence.

- What evidence?

They can come back

if there's no evidence.

If the evidence is strong enough,

they'll never come back.

We need a reliable witness.

Are you sure?

Yes, I am.
