Работники скупки и домовой лавки, которые были ограблены... пришли в управление для того, чтобы опознать одного из грабителей. В кабинете у Садчикова посадили трёх парней (студентов университета)... Студенты всё время улыбались и весело переглядывались - это была их первая практика. Садчиков сказал: «Вы это, х-хлопцы, бросьте. Мы сейчас приведём т-того парня, так ему не до улыбок. Ясно? Вы его так сраз-зу под монастырь подведёте» (Семёнов 1). The staff of the pawnshop that had been robbed...had come to headquarters in order to identify one of the thieves. Three (university) students...had been invited to Sadchikovs office. They smiled and looked at one another cheerfully the whole time-this was their first case. Sadchikov said: "Right, pack it up, 1-lads. We're going to bring the other b-boy in now and he doesn't feel much like laughing. Got it? This way you'll p-put him on the spot right away" (1a).

Повезёшь моё письмо. Обыскивать вас не будут. Опустишь там в почтовый ящик, и всё». - «Подведёшь ты меня под монастырь», - говорю я (Зиновьев 2). ( context transl) "So you can take out my letter. They'll never search you. All you've got to do is drop it in a postbox, and that's it." "Look-you're going to land me in jail," I said (2a).
