PREVIOUSLY

Sparta is an entirely new virtual world...

with endless possibilities.

Go to him and hit him in the face with this.

Don't waste time.

Good girl. You did everything right.

I need money.

I am... sick.

In the mailbox you'll find a pass card to the office. Take it.

-Hello. -Hello.

Misha.

Do you need money again? You'll get it.

I need €10,000.

I don't have it.

Now go back to that half-naked boy. Let's move on.

The footage from the day Istomina died.

There is a name in the journal.

-Rusanova, Alina. -She died.

Alina's body was found here. The driver and the woman are in a mental hospital.

You...

almost killed...

-a person. -But we didn't.

We decided to punish a person.

-And we punished him. -I was executed.

My head blew up.

I was robbed. They took €40,000. You will bring it back, or...

Or?

Spartans, Barkovskiy is getting beaten up.

The bus driver didn't see anything,

-but you did see them. -I saw them.

I said already.

Kryukov, listen, when the truck hit Alina Rusanova, she wasn't alone.

-What? -There was another girl.

Misha, are you at home? Are you all right?

Sit down.

Stop!

YEAR 2020

Look at me.

Do you still think you can blackmail me?

Do I look like a man with anything to lose?

That's all I wanted to say.

Goodbye.

Did you love her?

-No one's taken the blame for her death. -So what?

It's unfair.

So what?

What do you want?

What happened to them?

Are you sure you want to know?

All right, here goes.

Buy me a beer first.

PRESENT DAY

Sit down.

-My youngest is sick. I need to go home. -Sit down!

Stop!

Do you see this?

I do.

So?

Let's go.

What do you want?

Delete the video.

-Get out. -Delete it.

Dad, he's chasing me.

He knows everything...

about me and Alina.

He knows everything.

-Calm down! -Let me go!

Calm down or I will cuff you!

I am your teacher.

You will go to jail, Teacher.

You're animals.

You need to be stopped.

I told you, delete it.

All right.

-Is it being deleted? -Yes.

-Let's check. -Don't touch it.

Sit.

It's being deleted.

You're a good teacher.

Are you crazy?

-Just don't hit him on the head. -Stop it, you'll kill him!

What are you doing, Dovzhenko?

Are you scared now, scumbags?

Did you think Vladimir Ovanesovich was afraid of you?

I will shoot you all!

Traitor Dovzhenko.

You will be executed without charge or trial.

Where is your leader?

Where is Barkovskiy?

I'm counting to three and I'll shoot. One...

two...

Volodya, what are you doing?

Put the gun down.

It's a starting gun.

Is everyone all right?

Huh?

Stay calm.

-We will figure everything out. -Yes.

As if anything like this would happen on Yuriy Vasilyevich's watch.

What do you want from me now?

A show of strength by a school principal, perhaps.

All right.

Guys, leave the room.

I will call the police.

Bastard!

Take your hands off me.

-Shut up! -Let me go!

-Sit down! -You will regret this!

You will seriously regret it.

Are you trying to scare me with your dad? He isn't here.

-Why did you attack her? -Shut up and sit down.

Holy crap.

Are you going to question us? What are the charges?

I told you to shut up!

On March 25...

around 6:00 a.m.,

Alina Rusanova...

died.

Not long before her death she had sex.

At the time of death,

she was not alone. There was another girl. Who was the girl?

And who did she have sex with?

What do we have to do with this?

What was a high-school girl doing at 6:00 a.m. under the bridge?

Any ideas? Here's a clue. Here is your house,

here is Rusanova's house.

The shortcut is the path under the bridge. Any ideas now or do you need my help?

Let's say...

that night Rusanova

woke up here.

She had sex...

with you.

In the morning,

she had to go home to change, take a shower,

get her notebooks.

She's a straight-A student, not to mention the principal's daughter. But...

there was another girl

who also couldn't sleep, because of a fight with her mother,

and who couldn't think of anything better than to come to the house

of her closest friend,

who protected her. To you!

And so she comes,

and at the entrance she bumps into...

Alina Rusanova, who looks happy,

her lips are swollen from kisses...

Right? Right.

Because Alina got what she wanted, yes?

But the other girl was not doing so well.

On the contrary, she was very unhappy.

-Enough! -Shut up!

-Why should I shut up? This is my house. -Since when

-is Sotnikov's apartment your home? -He's a teenager.

-You have no right. -A teenager?

Him? A teenager? I thought so, too.

Will you tell her or should I?

Do you remember a small...

yellow car...

that was watching your friend today in front of the school?

You remember, I can see that.

Do you know who it belongs to?

To a girl from Novosibirsk, 23 years old,

divorced...

Barkovskaya.

Alena Nikolayevna.

She has a son,

Barkovskiy, Stepan Mikhailovich.

I don't understand.

Misha...

is she your sister?

Do you hear me?

Barkovskaya, Alena Nikolayevna.

Her ex-husband is Barkovskiy, Mikhail Alexandrovich. They have a son together,

Barkovskiy, Stepan Mikhailovich. Do you get it now?

No, I don't get it!

Ira, I'm 26...

I'm divorced...

and I have a son.

I...

knew it.

I knew everything.

So what?

What?

What?

-You knew? -No, she didn't. She's lying.

Get her some water. Can't you see she's on edge?

-She'll have a tantrum any minute. -I won't have any tantrums.

I was there with Alena.

Okay?

Listen, girl...

are you trying...

to confuse me...

or are you telling the truth?

It's the truth!

ONE YEAR EARLIER

My God! You scared me to death.

Are you stalking me?

Why would I do that?

So, you're stalking Bark.

-Get lost. -Whatever. I am so relaxed.

When you have a man, you'll understand.

Misha fell asleep. I didn't want to wake him up. He was so cute.

I need to go home.

Do you have a problem with what I'm saying?

Aren't you afraid to walk home alone at night?

No, but you can walk me if you want.

You're not going there now, are you?

Have some pride.

Let's go.

You're so bold.

-Did you walk out wearing what you had on? -Yes.

I'll pick up my textbooks later. Or maybe I won't.

We'll see.

I feel bad.

Why?

I don't know. You decided to change your life so drastically.

You left home, wanted to come to Bark, like, "Misha, I'm all yours".

And here I am, what a bitch, outstripping you.

I didn't know.

Maybe you should leave him alone.

What do you mean?

Let bygones be bygones.

He doesn't mean anything to you. You don't care about him.

But for me, he's the only person I have.

All right.

You can have him.

Do you really think he's waiting for you, silly?

Surely, he doesn't want the stunning Alina Rusanova. Not a virgin, by the way.

Of course, he would prefer a stupid, dull virgin.

You're a virgin, Shorina, right?

You know what? Go to him right now, so he can tell you to get lost.

And he'll rush to embrace me at school after you've scared him to death.

Go, Shorina, move!

The good fairy Alina gives

the stupid Cinderella a chance to schmooze Prince Charming. Go, Shorina! Go!

PRESENT DAY

-Guys, I think you have a problem. -You do as well.

To minimize the problems, let's go upstairs together.

What a stupid situation.

Kryukov, you manically dig out details

which have nothing to do with the case.

A closed case, by the way.

A young teacher jumped out of the window. It's a suicide.

You were asked, through negligence, I suppose,

to make an inspection.

Why on earth are you investigating the death of a different person,

which happened at a different time, in a different place,

-and which has nothing to do with it? -I have reasons

to suspect that these crimes are connected. I'm working to prove it.

Your work is admirable.

But it's not your business.

-Yours, I suppose. -Mine!

Enough of this.

Now, about this...

young man.

This is also, you understand, my business.

And I will deal with it on my own.

Evil will out. The question is, how much will I find?

I have a suggestion to all who are present here.

Tomorrow morning at school,

in front of all concerned parties,

this bastard

will publicly admit to his deception.

Those who were hurt in the process

will be able to express their discontent. I don't think words will suffice.

Then...

I think it is in our mutual interests to smother this scandal

and try to move on.

-Daddy-- -No one will touch you.

You will come with me.

Is everything clear?

Yes.

The boy will be watched till the morning...

and then taken unscathed straight to the whipping post.

I suggest the rest of you carry out their duties,

and those who are on vacation...

-should finally have some rest. -What if I don't want to rest?

Do you want to torture my daughter, Captain?

-Tell me. -Your daughter...

is at least an eyewitness to the crime.

I see.

Then we will talk in a different way, in a different place.

-Sergey Ivanovich-- -You'll also have it the hard way.

Do you want to try me?

What about you?

I'm just a waste of space. You can look through me.

I didn't expect it.

Mom did everything in a heartbeat.

She arranged it with the hospital, transferred the money.

Great.

I don't like being moved around like a doll.

Come on.

It will be fine.

What is it?

Are you afraid of the surgery?

A little.

Listen...

will you tell me where the money comes from?

Marat, listen, I...

I understand that I should be licking your boots for all this...

but I think you did something awful,

and that it will get you into trouble.

It's Bark, I know.

Please...

I'm begging you, leave the school.

Hide somewhere.

-He's a tyrant, you know? -You're wrong. He...

He helped me out.

And you're just a bit afraid.

Everything will be all right.

Did you say goodbye?

Come on, you're not saying goodbye for good.

Let's go, Natasha...

I'm stressed today and won't calm down before we take off. I can't believe it.

Thank you.

Let's go, Natasha.

Everything will be fine!

Escaped?

Damn it!

-What a kindergarten! -I agree.

It is in your interest...

-to find him before me. -I know.

Dismissed.

Sergey Ivanovich, I...

just wanted to say...

Kryukov is a badass.

He's more of a badass than all of us together. He's strong and honest.

A true detective.

Yes, I made inquiries.

The wife walked in on honest-to-God Kryukov with a lover.

She wrote it in a suicide note...

and jumped out of the window.

And then your strong Kryukov had a stroke and almost bit the dust.

And then...

some nice person helped him fool the medical board and transfer to the police.

Am I right about the "strong and the honest"?

You say he's a good police officer?

Yes.

Six months ago, he found a stolen bike

and he solved an awful crime, arson on the roof of a house.

Holy cow!

A school teacher jumped out of the window. Déjà vu.

The guilty ones must be found.

Because your strong and honest man won't forgive himself.

He even took leave to chase kids.

He's a pussy.

Anna Anatolyevna, forgive me, but he is a pussy and a loser.

I know, love is blind, but...

Find him before he makes a terrible mess.

One more thing...

Regarding my daughter, tell him this...

Marina, hear me out, please.

I don't want to.

Listen to me, I need your help.

The memory stick with the CCTV footage is in my classroom.

Please, go and take it.

-These Spartans might be watching us. -It's none of my business, Ignat.

If you need help, ask the little whore from that class.

Marina...

Marina...

Hello, Ignat Antonovich.

Don't be afraid, I'm not like them.

Quite the opposite.

I can help you.

If you need my help.

We're skipping geometry class.

Do you want to play hooky like this?

Calm down, guys.

-We have to brace up and... -We have to wait for Bark.

I'm sorry, Gosha, but you don't fit the chief's role.

You're such a fool, Suvorova.

Why call him a chief?

Just because. I can see you're out of ideas without Bark.

It's time to admit that he is our chief and teacher. We do as he says.

-And without his orders, we do nothing. -Do you have a problem with that?

I have a problem with that.

I didn't choose Bark as my chief.

No one chose him. It just happened so.

Stop.

We're drifting off topic.

If I understand correctly, now our biggest problem is Ignat.

We have to find him and explain everything to him.

He'll keep it quiet anyway. He also has some charges to face.

Yes, you made sure he does.

I did as Bark said.

-You would do the same if he told you to. -No.

-I wouldn't. -We are wandering from the subject.

I deleted the photos and videos.

-Who else can hurt us? -That bastard Bagramov.

-If he starts sharing with the police. -He won't.

Do you know what they do to pricks like him in prison? I won't shut up either.

-And the principal? -She'll also keep her trap shut.

She said she doesn't want any stains on the school's reputation.

And if she does, she will lose her job.

She did bring her pedophile half-brother to work with kids.

-Bark has all bases covered. -What if Bark...

-tells you to kill someone? -Olesya.

Marat is coming.

Hi there.

Are you well again?

-Something like that. -Where is Domodedova?

She's away. Listen, I was at school, and it's a mess there.

What did you do, Spartans?

-Never mind. Listen, we're thinking-- -Marat.

If Bark tells you to kill a person...

will you?

Didn't we do that already?

Did you write it down?

Tomorrow at school you will tell them everything that is written here.

And forget Ira's name.

You won't recognize her in the street.

Say a word about her to anyone and you will disappear. Is that clear?

Yes.

Write down Sotnikov's number.

You're a nobody.

Motherfucking Führer.

Tell me...

if I...

forget about Ira, and everything else...

will you forget about me?

We'll see.

Am I going to prison?

You're not going anywhere.

You're my daughter.

You will live with me for now.

You won't go to school, you'll pass your exams without attending.

And after exams you will go to law school...

or the Academy of Public Administration.

I don't want to.

Study whatever you want.

You can go to the State Institute of Technology or whatever.

Which subjects are you strong at?

Dad...

I don't want to live with you.

And I won't leave the school.

I want to stay here.

With him. With Misha.

You're crazy.

He's an adult man.

-Freaking pedophile. I could kill him-- -And I don't want to go to college.

All right.

What do you want?

I want a baby.

Are you dumb?

Don't you see that I'm protecting you now?

-You almost got into a terrible mess-- -Dad, I'm pregnant.

I will kill him.

-You have five minutes to say goodbye. -Dad...

Five minutes, I said.

Scum.

Did you hear that?

I did.

So what?

Misha...

we're having a baby.

Maybe you are.

But I'm not.

Don't you love me anymore?

Go to your father.

Gusya...

-Damn you... -It's me, Igor, do you remember me?

I almost pissed myself.

As you once said, "It's not what you think."

Are you insane?

-How did you get into my car? -Sometimes...

a simple wire...

can work wonders.

This is for you.

-What... do you want? -Didn't I say?

I came to ask for your help.

-Ask someone else. -There is no one to ask.

-For real. -Maybe...

I have things to do. Maybe I have to go home to feed a child.

-Or a husband. -I'm sorry, but you have neither.

And regarding plans...

Your friend Nastya Istomina...

was not contemplating death.

It wasn't her plan.

So, you have to help me find and punish those people who changed her plans.

All right.

What shall we start with?

Are you going to give me a gun?

Take your phone and dial the number.

I haven't had these since university.

I only eat these.

And Kryukov laughs.

He always laughs when he should cry.

Yes.

That's why I fell in love with him.

They were on drill...

and I had a pathology class in med school.

Morgue, dead bodies...

Guys fainted.

You could hear them falling...

Boom, boom, boom.

Kryukov laughed.

And those wrinkles around his eyes...

Did you go in forensics because of him?

Well, yes.

Why are you telling me this?

Are you not jealous?

Of course, I am.

But I liked the way you told that ghoul that Kryukov is a badass.

Yes.

Lipatova is listening.

Who is Inga?

Hello, Madam Advisor of Justice.

Good evening. I called you.

Yes, you did.

It feels like this day will never end.

As I told you on the phone, Captain Kryukov asked me to come.

You have a meeting tomorrow, and he wants you to be ready.

Why didn't he come?

-Is he ashamed? -He couldn't.

Why wasn't he here when that teacher was arrested in front of everyone?

Who?

PE teacher.

He was handcuffed and taken in a car.

Was it local police? From the district?

Yes.

What did Kryukov want to tell me?

Does he think things have slipped out of my control?

Does he think I can't manage?

Tell him that I don't need his help.

I'm the principal of this school,

-and I will not allow anybody-- -Okay, I get it.

I will tell him.

Hello.

Oh, my God. I quaked in my boots.

-What? -Nothing. You're too young to know.

What's up?

I'm police. They teach us stuff.

I can defend myself all right.

Did you go to the train station with Kryukov one night?

I did.

So, what?

You liked me and you stalked me, didn’t you?

Listen, I'm ten years older than you and I'm married.

Could you tell him to visit Maksim Yurov?

-This is important, and I can't reach him. -I will tell him.

Yurov, visit, important.

So? How did she take it?

She didn't. She can't take anything right now. Let's go.

When can I go home?

You signed me up for this. So, no weeping.

Igor, it's for you.

Yes?

She calls you Igor now.

Great. You don't waste any time.

I still don't know where I'm going to be sleeping.

I can't go home.

-What about Bagramov? -He's in jail. Almost sober.

I arranged with the officer on duty. No one seems to be following you.

I love you very much.

It won't help you find a place to stay.

Tosha... Antonina Valeriyevna has a message for you.

Kryukov? Hi.

Did you take your pills?

-Do you really think it matters? -It always matters.

Kryukov, some guy at school scared me.

He asked you to visit him. Yurov.

What?

He wants you to come over.

He didn't tell me the address.

Okay, Ruslana Anatolyevna and I are about to go home.

Be careful and don't forget about protection. Call if you need anything.

-All right. -"All right," what?

-Kisses. -That's my boy.

Aren't you just a little bit jealous?

Do you really need it?

Kryukov, go to hell.

This is Shorin. So, you found him.

Yes, I did. Why? He went to some bitch's place.

I don't know the address,

and I don't want to know. If I find him, I will kill him.

-Goodbye. -Goodbye.

It's good that you're not jealous.

I don't need it.

Are you sure it was them?

Of course. I know their voices.

Shorina took off the mask.

I can see well in the dark, like a cat.

ONE MONTH AGO

Stop!

Catch her!

Stop, bitch!

Leave me alone!

Help me!

You are beautiful!

Let me go!

Help!

I didn't see anything! I don't know anything!

-I was sleeping in the car! -Listen to me carefully, bitch.

You killed an innocent schoolgirl.

We will execute you by our custom. Tell us everything or you will die!

Does that hurt?

-There was another girl. -Which girl?

-Which girl? -Police! Stop!

PRESENT DAY

And then you and Layla went to the police?

No way! She ran away from me.

What next?

Then...

at the school...

I went off at their Führer, Barkovskiy.

I told him I would go to the principal, to the police, and he...

he...

he has my complete file. Where from?

A scandal.

Lyuda... Lyudmila Mikhailovna helped me to escape investigation.

There was no trial. All of it is rumors.

But if he took this file...

I had no guts.

I got scared of them.

That's why I ran from you.

Then I felt ashamed.

I decided to tell everything.

So, tell me.

What happened on that day?

Why did Istomina do this? Did they kill her?

Did they provoke her?

What happened? Did they push her? What? Tell me!

I don't know.

I know nothing.

TEN YEARS AGO. NOVOSIBIRSK. SCHOOL No. 9

Humankind is long sick.

It has accumulated a so-called...

genetic burden.

It's like a garbage pile...

of harmful mutations,

genetic anomalies,

and diseases.

It provoked an irreversible increase in the number...

of handicaps...

and various useless members of society.

Many times, the best minds of humankind...

suggested methods of curing,

how to get rid of this...

burden, but...

every time, the people who called themselves humanists

jeopardized this essentially...

natural selection.

The burden increases.

Medicine helps...

those who should have...

died, and save those who, due to genetic...

defects, shouldn't have been born.

But...

at the dawn of humankind...

the strongest nations...

emerged in places where...

rough...

and sometimes even cruel...

but fair natural laws prevailed.

For instance, Sparta.

There, deficient children were thrown into the abyss.

Sparta is to this day an example...

of a fair, strong...

and unbeatable...

-society. -Misha, what are you talking about?

Guys, why are you silent? Am I the only one who hears this?

What's wrong with what I say, Irina Gavrilovna?

Plato said that deficient children

or those born from deficient parents shouldn't be raised. And the deficient

should be rejected medical treatment. It was written in his piece The Republic.

In 1920, Charles Darwin's cousin

called this set of beliefs eugenics, the science of selection.

In short, it says that moral handicaps should be executed.

Executed?

Yes. I think people that do not deserve life...

should simply be eliminated. For instance,

people who are born with defects...

-and diseases like cerebral palsy. -And with this speech...

They are useless to society. Too much money is spent to sustain them.

-Stop, Misha. -And as a result--

Is this the speech

with which you are going to run for chair of the school council?

-Yes. -Are you aware

that such reasoning fueled Nazism?

In my opinion, what is happening to you

is an exemplary mutation.

I hope you are not serious about all this.

Eugenics is not equivalent to Nazism...

Irina Gavrilovna.

So, you are serious.

Guys, I will not suggest any counterarguments.

I'm too disgusted.

I ask you to withdraw your votes and never put forward Misha's candidacy

to the school council.

Never.

Take your seat, Barkovskiy.

It's you who's deficient, Barkovskiy.

Do your Nazi salutes somewhere else, or we will kick the crap out of you,

fucking Goebbels.
