MICHAEL YORK:

in the film.

The Justice of Wolves

based on the novel

"Mika and Alfred" by V. Kunin.

A strange thing happened this morning.

Driving through the city

I felt

as there was someone else in my can.

Then I heard a voice:

"Mika, you must tell people

about the murders

you committed many years ago.

Nobody knows

that you are a murderer:

I looked back

I was alone in the can.

An hour later I was making sketches

for the painting

commissioned by Heidi Marx.

Again I felt there was someone

next to me.

Then this someone materialized

from my drawings, or from thin air.

What name should I give you?

"Alfred" would suit ma.

- - Alfred.

- Yes, Mika.

How do you know my name?

That's because I am you, Mika.

The unexpected visitor

did look like me in my youth.

It seemed he had descended

from the pages

of an old mystical fairy-tale.

He knew my life story perfectly

but he kept asking questions

about things

I was extremely reluctant to recall.

He asked about murders

I gave him the diary

that I kept many years ago.

Mika!

Mika!

Where 's the money I gave you

for your music lessons?

Mom, I didn't want to upset you"

I have lost it

I tum inside out to pay

for your music classes.

And you sky them.

You are from a good family,

after all!

Did you hear my question?

Where's the money?

I swear I've lost it.

Milya!

- Yes, Irina Petrovna..

- Give me a hand here.

I can't pull on this bloody boot.

A Moscow friend is coming

to visit Sergey Arkadyevich.

Olshevsky, the screenwriter

He 'll spend the night here.

Let him sleep in your room,

and you can sleep in the kitchen.

I was thirteen when I first

saw it.

That night I came up

with a cunning plan

to seduce our maid Milya.

Can you help me take the basket

to the loft?

My poor boy,

do you want it so much?

Why didn't you tell me

earlier, my dear?

Suppressing desires for so long

is bad for a boy 's health.

Misha, why don't you say hello?

Hi, Zaitseva.

- Hello, Mika.

- Hi, Stepan. Are you playing Athos?

- Why such a sour face?

- Polyakov is putting on airs.

Just you tell me, Nelly!

I 'll teach this kike a lesson!

"This kike"? What's that?

Didn't you know, Zaitseva?

Polyakov is a Jew.

Doctor, how is my son?

He's lost a lot of blood

and he has a concussion"

It's too early to make

any prognoses

I was in a lot of pain,

raving and hallucinating.

It seemed like something

in my head had cracked.

Strange things began happening

around ma.

Suddenly I saw an island

in the ocean.

I was flying over it.

Then I kind of calmed down,

for the pain had gone.

But I felt

that my world had changed.

Mommy, iris' so good you came.

My dear boy.

Have I changed a lot?

No, darling.

If it's the hair, don't worry,

it'll grow.

And everything will get back

to normal.

No, not everything.

Hello, guys

Misha!

- It's nice to see you again!

- Hi!

Show us the scan

three, four, five..

They put 12 stitches.

Bugger off small fry!

Why are you pushing us?

Do you think you're tough?

You're fine again,

aren't you, dirty kike?

I want you dead bastard!

He's not breathing!

Today the armed forces

of fascist Germany

have launched an offensive

against the USSR ....

Yum, I can't take Mika to Alma-Am.

M y wife needs an urgent operation.

So I want you to take him

You 're my assistant,

someone who has experience

and whom I can trust.

Here 'S the money for your trip and

the living until you settle.

Mika, my boy.

As soon as we arrange

everything here..

Hey you, careful with

the stockings!

We 'll join you in Alma-Am.

- When?

- You and Yura will settle down,

make yourselves at home,

and then mom and I will come.

Mika, my darling boy!

Films? Sure I've made films,

both comedies and dramas.

That's cool!

I was in Khanzhonkov's studio.

Th en the war started

I was promoted lieutenant.

You must've seen a lot!

Then I was in hospital.

They wouldn't take me back to the front.

So now I'm going to Alma-Am.

Lenfilm Studios have been

evacuated there

I say, Yum, let's go

to our compartment.

We 'd talk and have some wine.

You 'd tell us about Leningrad

and the movies.

Not about this

I 'd say, why not, Mika?

Remember his position"

What have you got in mind

Alfred?

You go. I'll stay here.

How many years have you had

these dreams of the island?

Since I was a kid

I 'll like to live in a place

where no one would hurt me.

It's bad when dreams

don't come true.

Little devil!

Little f***er! You couldn't find

a betterplace, a**hole?

That's my idea:

You could buy a nice island.

Free his hands, Sabitov

and create a colony for people.

Let him pack his balls!

He's got no servants to help him

whom you, Leo and Heidi

wanted to make happy.

Look 111 you, underage b*tch!

- Stop pushing ma.

- What?

That's millions of dollars.

F***ing slut! Go back

to your carriage!

Have you gone mad Alfred?

Be realistic.

Sabitov, I 'll give you the light,

and you Search him well

You know what to look for

I am being realistic

I voice your ideas.

[And] know who will make

your dream come true.

He's damn clean.

- Where are your papers?

- How about your papers?

Sh*t! Who 's that madman?

- How do I know who you are?

- I'll show you who we are!

Sabitov, take this attorney

to the compartment.

You, Mika.

Move your ass!

Me?!

We 'll show you something more

persuasive than papers.

We've got our first order:

It's worth $500,000.

He's in illegal arms trade

A bad guy, in general.

Yum Koptev, the man who

accompanied me,

He 'll provide any customer

with every possible weapon

including ballistic missiles

was lying there with his throat cut

I've told you many times:

Our money and papers had vanished

I can't kill someone

only because they 're bad.

Not so brave now, are you?

They should be tried in court.

Look what they've done

to your friend'.

What court are you talking about?

The legal system is corrupt.

It doesn't fight crime.

- Who did he leave with?

- Two policemen.

Rather, it helps criminals.

One looked like a Kazakh,

the other one was Russian"

You and I will render justice.

Can you describe their cloth es?

Using the competition

between criminals.

We can't make mistakes.

Uniforms like yours.

What they give us

an innocent man as a mark?

- Any distinguishing features?

- I 'd better draw them.

A bad man may decide to settle

accounts with someone good.

We must be sure that we punish

those who deserve it.

- Mika.

- I'm afraid.

Nothing to be afraid of.

All right, go ahead.

There are no innocent people

in these circles.

Mika, you're an artist,

a creative person.

You sure did a sweell job.

Why cram your head

with administrative issues?

I've recognized one of them,

Ravil Shayakhmetov

I've recognized the Russian too

but I don't remember his mime

I 'll deal with them.

And you do the creative work,

- Krasnov?

- That's right, Krasnov

execute the verdict.

- Is it a deal?

- Na.

He's on the wanted list.
