Child 44 Page #5

Stomach removed. Missing.

Water spilling from the boy.

This is not the work

of some average idiot.

You are sure you don't want

to reexamine your report?

There is no need.

- I found nothing.

- Leo...

I am sure you realize what this means?

Major Kuzmin, I have stood here

for the past 10 minutes

telling you exactly the same thing.

Because it is the truth.

I found... nothing.

Raisa Demidova

is innocent.

This is all you can take.

You carry nothing on your person,

except your clothes and your papers.

Alexei, why did you...

That's fine. That's okay. All right.

Please, give me five minutes because...

- You know the rules, Leo.

- Please, five minutes.

Just get dressed. You have two minutes.

Want five.

You f***ing dog!

Don't you f***ing touch her.

- I will put him through the f***ing window.

- It's fine. It's fine.

- Jesus.

- Let her be.

Here.

- No! No, Leo! No, Leo!

- Where are you taking her?

No, Leo!

Raisa?

- Raisa, are you there?

- Yes.

- Did they hurt you?

- No.

Good.

Do exactly as they say. Raisa?

You must not be scared. All right?

I understand. Let go of me!

Let go of me! I understand.

Come here. It's okay, it's okay.

- She is pregnant!

- What are they doing?

It's all right. This is where

we wait for the truck, okay?

Look, you see?

This is where the truck comes.

They pick us up. They take us away.

Do you understand?

- But where are we going?

- I don't know.

It's okay. She's pregnant. Da?

She's pregnant.

Leo, where are we going?

Where are we going?

I thought you'd like to see the place

one last time.

I'm sentimental like that.

Raisa. Raisa. Raisa.

You're going to Volsk,

which, from what I've heard,

is pretty much the a**hole

of the earth, and join the Militsia.

You know, all he had to do

was to denounce you,

and in a year the whole building

would be kissing his ass.

It was the only option.

But you won't listen.

Enjoy your new life.

You know, this whole thing

was just a test of blind obedience.

You should have given me up.

That's what wives are for.

What are you waiting for?

I only heard three days ago

you were coming.

It's unusual.

Because I made no requests

for additional men.

And I'm a little confused

about the orders.

The Militsia is a significant demotion

for a man of your stature.

We go where we are needed.

Do you know what I heard?

I heard they made you take off

a dozen stolen watches

before they handed you that flag.

There are no advantages

to being in Militsia.

Once an apartment is found,

you will be assigned.

But it's a very long waiting list.

You start tomorrow.

The bar doesn't give credit.

Toilet is down the hall.

Comrade Director, Raisa Demidova.
