Speaker 1: Nas jim.

68
00:07:07,759 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 3: He held his breath and glanced over the bulletin boards

69
00:07:10,399 --> 00:07:13,079
full of posters and haphazardly pinned reports.

70
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: Konem so says dao ya kovichstavla.

71
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 3: Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, they were shown

00:07:28,519 --> 00:07:30,759
to the desk of police officer Pavel.

73
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: Pavel Vi pa del nave amlch no yen nechas.

Speaker 1: So provat.

76
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 3: What can I do for you?

Speaker 1: Zeb tlse an bizvechi.

78
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,000

Speaker 1: Vo nevosny bilisme.

00:07:58,639 --> 00:07:59,879
Speaker 3: Boikiv started nervously.

00:08:00,399 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: We were robbed museau at the museum O kradlenavsatzni exponat.

00:08:30,319 --> 00:08:33,639
Speaker 3: Voichi hoped that Pavel would take him seriously immediately, but

88
00:08:33,759 --> 00:08:36,879
the officer just sighed and muttered another theft.

89
00:08:37,159 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 1: Louzi sef shimla je vochi strazi o d vao.

90
00:08:43,039 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 3: Rutia noticed that Voichek was losing his nerve.

91
00:08:46,159 --> 00:08:52,519
Speaker 1: Eto mimosadni dolgi artefact stopira dohovo ru sistota.

92
00:08:54,399 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 3: It is an exceptionally important artifact, she interjected, with confidence.

00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: Ietochas narodni historie.

Speaker 1: Pavel sem nezvedloskla aso vi.

96
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,799
Speaker 3: Paver almost didn't rise from his chair, but something in

97
00:09:18,879 --> 00:09:20,120
her tone made him look up.

98
00:09:20,759 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 1: Por horispisus toole na d voit vigil vrav do vistra a.

99
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 3: He glanced over the mountains of files on the table

100
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,000
at the pair and saw real fear and the seriousness

101
00:09:38,039 --> 00:09:40,320
of the situation in Bugas eyes o.

102
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,559
Speaker 1: Yeki exponat sedna.

Speaker 1: Zeptal senis vichim zaimem.

105
00:09:50,639 --> 00:09:52,399
Speaker 3: He asked, now with more interest.

106
00:09:54,480 --> 00:10:02,559
Speaker 1: Obdubimbursk dinastie one domni.

107
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 3: It's kerceptor from the Lusimbriska dynasty period, said Voikir, now

108
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:09,320
somewhat more confidently.

109
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 1: Besny nevelko vistavo.

110
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,039
Speaker 3: Without it, we can't open the major exhibition.

111
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: Pavel postavil her neck cavinastulzras nosti Ano.

112
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 3: Pavel placed his coffee mug on the table decisively, and

113
00:10:30,639 --> 00:10:32,600
his eyes focused on boichiev.

114
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,279
Speaker 1: Oush nebel hostini.

115
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:37,279

Speaker 1: Toyeskvajna kradsherel notebook.

117
00:10:45,519 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 3: This is indeed a serious theft, he said, and opened

118
00:10:48,399 --> 00:10:48,960
his notebook.

119
00:10:49,519 --> 00:10:54,279
Speaker 1: Bodame spravo azahaiim vishitovani okam.

Speaker 1: Ve ti kill jiro slova opravdunus nam nai.

127
00:11:24,279 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 3: For the first time, he felt that his words really

128
00:11:26,759 --> 00:11:27,320
meant something.

129
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:36,480

130
00:11:38,159 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 3: From that day, he and Rutia left the police station

131
00:11:40,799 --> 00:11:43,039
with a sense of hope. In the wintry cold air.

132

135
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,320
that even his voice carried weight in the silence of
