СКАЧАТЬ How can I be sure that you won’t kill us after I tell you the password?

      Chopper. We are not savages. You will have to take my word for it.

      Pause.

      Fyodor. I’ll give you the icons. If you lay a finger on Tatyana, I’ll make mincemeat out of you.

      Chopper. That’s a bargain. We are men of business. [He takes his mobile phone out and presses the call button.] Karen, he is good to go. Write down the password. [He holds the phone to Fyodor’s mouth.]

      Fyodor. Front door. One. Six. Oh. Six. One. Nine. The door to the study. Oh. Three. Oh. Five. Eight. Oh.

      Chopper. [To Fyodor.] You made your choice. [He stuffs his phone into his pocket.] Now we wait.

      Fyodor. Blessed are You O Christ Our God / You have revealed the fishermen as most wise / by sending down upon them the Holy Spirit / through them You drew the world into Your net / O Lover of Man, Glory to You.

      Scene 8

      Night. Moray’s house.

      Natalia and Khlora are sitting at the table opposite to each other. There are an open bottle of vodka and two glasses on the table. Artyom is lying unconscious on the floor, he is tied hand and foot.

      Khlora. What next?

      Natalia. Go.

      Khlora. I won’t leave without Ivan.

      Natalia. Think of your baby, you idiot.

      Khlora. I won’t leave without Ivan!

      Natalia. They will kill you both. You and Moray. You are his weak spot.

      Khlora. If you let me go, Chopper won’t take it lying down.

      Natalia. I will deal with it. Tie me up. And go while Jacket is still out cold.

      Khlora. They will kill us all.

      Natalia. Yes. Maybe.

      Khlora. Do you know what my father used to say? The best defense is a good offense.

      Scene 9

      Night. Fyodor Kolosov’s summer cottage.

      Fyodor is tied to a chair, his mouth is taped shut. Slav and Moray are standing by. Chopper is talking on the phone.

      Chopper. Karen, stick to the plan. Out. [He stops the call and puts the phone back into his pocket.] All good, Slav. We’ve got the icons.

      Slav approaches Moray from behind and knocks him out with a truncheon. Fyodor is trying to free himself, squirming on his chair.

      Chopper. Don’t move, Kolosov. You have lived a disgraceful life but you will die the death of a righteous man.

      Slav. Don’t take it personally, old man. We are just tying up loose ends.

      Slav puts the truncheon on the table, ties Moray’s hands and legs with plastic cable ties, and drags him along the path towards the banya.

      Slav. The bastard is heavy.

      Slav and Moray whip out of sight. Tatyana, with the rifle in her hands, comes out of the dark and points the rifle at Chopper.

      Tatyana. Just a twitch and I’ll shoot you, scumbag.

      Chopper. Hello, Tatyana.

      Tatyana. Who are you?

      Chopper. You are just like a guardian angel coming down from heaven.

      Tatyana. Untie him. Now!

      Chopper. I have respect for bold people, Tatyana. Give me the rifle.

      Tatyana. Untie him.

      Chopper. Give me the rifle. Don’t mess with me.

      Tatyana. Don’t put your fingers in the fire, sweetheart. [She flips the rifle bolt.]

      Chopper approaches Fyodor, takes the knife from the table, and cuts Fyodor’s hands free.

      Chopper. Now that’s a woman. [He puts the knife towards himself and gives it to Fyodor.] Lucky you, Kolosov. [Aside.] Frost, you son of a bitch, where are you?

      Tatyana. Put your hands behind your head!

      Chopper slowly puts his hands behind his head. Fyodor quickly frees himself, removes the tape from his mouth, spits blood, takes the truncheon from the table, approaches Chopper from behind, and strikes his legs. Chopper drops down on his knees.

      Fyodor. You are dead, you piece of shit. Put your hands behind your back.

      Chopper is on his knees. He puts his hands behind his back, Fyodor ties them. He takes off Chopper’s balaclava.

      Fyodor. I recognized Moray’s voice at once. But you… I’ve never seen you before.

      Chopper spits on the ground.

      Fyodor. Face down.

      Chopper. Do you know what I am doing now? I am speaking to a dead man.

      Fyodor. What are you talking about?

      Chopper. You are toast, Kolosov. You will all die tonight.

      Fyodor kicks Chopper to the grass, approaches Tatyana. At this point Slav reappears out of the dark and lashes out at Tatyana with the knife, trying to take the rifle from her. Tatyana dodges his attack nimbly. Fyodor sends Slav sprawling with a heavy blow, takes the rifle out of Tatyana’s hands. Then he knocks Slav out by hitting him over the head with the rifle stock.

      Scene 10

      Late night. Fyodor Kolosov’s summer cottage.

      Slav is handcuffed to the handrail core, he is unconscious. Chopper is tied to a chair in the gazebo, his hands tied behind his back, his mouth taped.

      Fyodor. Thank you, Tanya.

      Tatyana. Fyodor… I feared for you so much.

      Fyodor. It’s gonna be alright.

      Tatyana. СКАЧАТЬ
