much water on you and treatment of
your wounds.
NASTYA
Isn’t it obvious that Misha is barely
alive? The bandage is all red with
blood. People need rest.
KOVALEV
(hesitates)
Halt!
YURSKY
Could not resist it, Kovalev?
KOVALEV
Shut up or I’ll shoot you like a dog!
YURSKY
Come on, shoot.
KOVALEV
You are in my power and I can do
what I want to. Once we arrive at
the Rapid River, I will be pleased
to make a hole in your academic
head.
(to Garik)
Tie them up together.
GARIK
But, Boss where do I get a rope?
KOVALEV
In the shop… go and buy one!
20
GARIK
Boss, I’m serious.
KOVALEV
I’m not kidding! (beat) Am I to teach
you everything!.. Stretch silk ribbons
of the tent!
EXT. RUSSIAN TAIGA – EVENING
GEOLOGISTS lie on the damp grass twisted like earthworms.
GARIK glances at KOVALEV, looking for approval.
KOVALEV
(irritably)
What do you want?
GARIK
What to do with him?
Kovalev comes close to Misha Samokhvalov who shows no signs of life.
KOVALEV
This shit – I don’t want to waste
rope on him!
21
KOVALEV touches MISHA’S shoulder.
EXT. RUSSIAN TAIGA – NEXT DAY
GEOLOGISTS still tied up, lie on the ground suffering from a terrible noon heat.
ELKIN
Water!
KOVALEV nods to GARIK, and the later runs to the river to scoop up some water.
He returns to the camp with flasks full.
KOVALEV takes one of the flasks, unscrews the cap and drinks slowly, water dripping down on his chest.
ARTEMIEV
Drink!
KOVALEV
Water is now worth its weight in gold!
The deal must be fair, on equal terms.
GARIK approaches ELKIN.
22
GARIK
Boss, the old man seems to have
lost consciousness, and the girl —
she is green and moans!
YURSKY
At least give water to Misha and
Nastya.
KOVALEV nods reluctantly at GARIK
GARIK
(giving Misha to drink)
Come on. Here. Let’s look at your
wound! If you need a fresh bandage
GARIK bares MISHA’s shoulder
GARIK (CONT’D)
Hey! And where’s your famous wound?
GARIK checks the shoulder.
EXTREME CLOSE-UP. A SMALL SCRATCH
GARIK looks puzzled at the red bandage and smells it.
23
GARIK
It’s lipstick! Boss!
GARIK hits MISHA in the face
Kovalev grabs his wrist.
KOVALEV
Quiet! Here I am – the boss!
