:19:01
And I can see that you are anxious
for the KGB to take over the case.
:19:06
But this is not like you, huh?
Why? What's wrong?
:19:10
- May I speak freely?
- To me? Always.
:19:14
It is more than possible
that KGB killed those three people.
:19:25
I agree.
:19:27
Then it is likely they are
laying a trap for me.
:19:31
Why?
:19:32
Once I tried to arrest Major Pribluda.
I proved he was an assassin.
:19:36
- Remember the two bodies by the river?
- God, it's cold out here.
:19:40
- You want to freeze my blood even more?
- I proved KGB did it.
:19:45
I moved for the indictment,
and I was arrested and beaten senseless.
:19:51
And who got you out?
:19:53
I was grateful to you. I am grateful to you.
But it's a poisonous farce.
:19:57
Arkady, things are changing.
:20:00
Believe me, I have more power
than used to be the case.
:20:03
They are more vulnerable.
:20:05
You're easily
the best policeman in Moscow.
:20:10
And I need your help. I need it badly.
:20:14
And you can protect me and my men?
:20:18
Listen, our Soviet constitution
is a noble piece of work.
:20:23
But only if honorable men
and women respect it.
:20:27
Now, I'm determined to stand on legality.
:20:30
KGB must not, cannot work outside the
law, or they're little better than the CIA.
:20:36
- But how?
- Support me. Don't try to unload the case.
:20:41
We mustn't give them a centimeter.
And I promise you, Arkady...
:20:44
I promise you, I'll be behind you
every step of the way.
:20:51
Yes, my dear?
:20:53
You are the only one here
who is going back to Moscow tonight.
:20:56
- It seems so.
- Will you take me with you?
:20:59
- At this hour? Is there something wrong?
- Please?
