Experiencing Interruptions?

Business

Tagline: Only brutal survives.
Having reorganized the state-owned enterprise, Yaroslav and his friend Vlasii became co-owners of the private railway company Railways UA. They have owned the company for 15 years. Vlasii wants to expand the business and offers to transport "coke" to European countries and Russia, for which the company's fortune can be increased by up to 70%. Yaroslav refuses to participate in the drug business and thus signs a death sentence for himself. Knowing in advance about Ulyana's daughter's hatred of her father, Vlasii makes a deal with her: "father's power and fortune in exchange for international drug transportation." However, everything did not go as he planned. The girl changes her mind and rejects his proposal. This prompts Vlasius to do crazy things that harm the company. He arranges several accidents on the railway, and the last collision of passenger trains in Odesa becomes the largest. Ulyana watches the news on the holographic screen, which tells about the number of dead, the damage, and the incompetence of the new director. Every day it is more and more difficult for the girl to resist the onslaught. Vlasii comes to the office with a marriage proposal and tries to get hold of the girl. Ulyana resists, but at the last moment she fights back with a "locomotive" - ​​a granite statuette. This becomes the last drop of his patience and he decides to remove her from his affairs. Ulyana realizes that she cannot win the war by herself, so she turns to her best friend Makar for help. He offers to lure him into his trap. He flies in a helicopter to meet Vlasius, where he offers new tuned locomotives with built-in secret compartments for transporting "goods". Vlasii agrees on the condition: "Solve Ulyana." Makar agrees and a few days later arranges a staged scene with the murder of the girl. Vlasii watches everything lives and, convinced of her death, flies to the car-building plant to conclude a deal. After walking around the workshop with Makar, they go to the office, where they drink a bottle of vodka and use drugs. Vlasii congratulates Makar on a successful contract. However, the pleasure of the evening ends quickly. Ulyana enters the office and informs them about his suspension from the business. Vlasii tries to protest, but the drug paralyzes him. Makar, lighting a cigar, watches the mockery with satisfaction. The girl takes a movie knife, and draws fake blood on her hand, letting Vlasia understand that she is not a figment of his imagination. Ulyana asks Makar to turn on the criminal plot loudly and, putting down the knife, takes out the same marble statuette "locomotive" from the bag, approaches Vlasius with it, and kills him.
