Mr Sergeyev's petition to revoke

the ruling of the Zagorye District Court.

That ruling is upheld,

and Mr Sergeyev's appeal is denied.

The ruling

shall come into effect forthwith.

Well, shall we go?

In a minute.

Vadim, every time you come,

all you do

is worry about the election.

It's not for another year.

In fair weather, prepare for foul.

You do well to tend

to worldly matters,

but remember the divine.

But I...

Don't I already?

I know.

You're a most...

charitable patron.

Even today, you come from afar,

bearing gifts.

Have some fish.

Right.

I'm telling you,

don't worry so much.

All power comes from God.

As long as God wishes for it,

you need not worry.

And does He?

Who can I ask if not you?

You're the priest!

He does.

Chase it with some food.

Hello.

Yes. Thank God, finally.

Get Tyagunov's guys on it.

Why wait?

Tear down that bastard's

f***ing place already!

We've lost so much time

because of him.

How's that your fault?

Drop the excuses!

OK, later.

Lyosha, get my thing...

from the glove compartment.

Hey, Vasya.

Let's pay that f***ing arsehole...

a visit real quick.

The one at the bottom of the hill.

- Past the bridge?

- Yes.

There are lots of arseholes

at the bottom of hills.

What?

You trying to be smart now?

It's obvious that the prick

wants this place

so he can build himself a palace!

Calm down. That's enough.

I built this place with my own hands!

Here we go again.

Kolya...

Here.

My whole life is here.

My grandfather lived here.

And my father...

He's seen it before.

Stay out of this!

Stop yelling!

Kolya, calm down.

Come on, Dima.

Let's have a drink.

Here's to you.

All right.

- To everything you've done for us.

- If you say so, bro.

Thank you.

Thank you.

What are you talking about?

It'll be fine.

But that dirt of yours...

Kolya, that's not my f***ing dirt.

It's his.

All I'm saying is,

I don't see a way

to put your theory to work.

Either way,

they're knocking this place down.

We'll buy that crappy apartment

near Angela's

with that 639,000 roubles

and 27 kopecks

and I'll become a cop, like Pasha.

Oh no...

Listen, bro,

this is not like you.

You hear me?

You've never let problems

get to you before.

What's the matter with you?

Things were different.

We're not 20 anymore.

The years take their toll.

Anyway, what are you on about?

Are you a shrink now?

I'm no f***ing shrink.

But f***, man, it's like...

You can look

at this situation differently.

How is that?

F***ing hell...

You're my brother!

Take on the challenge,

for f***'s sake!

It's a fresh start!

Easy for you to say.

You're off to Moscow tomorrow...

What's Moscow got to do with it?
