Dad...

Look, can I borrow some money?

For what?

Dad, I really need it asap, please.

How much?

A lot.

How much is a lot?

A lot is 20 thousand.

Dad, I'll pay you back, I swear.

Son, did you hit your head?

Wait, let's hear him out at least. Don't be like this.

I'm not gonna hear him out.

He's too young to have this kind of money.

Dad, come on, I'm telling you I'll pay you back.

You're loaded anyway.

Yeah, I am.

What does it have to do with you? Are you the one earning this money?

Come on, you're like a broken record.

- Don't be co cheap! - Calm down, Ruslan, sit.

- Have some tea. - Get your hands off me, it's our business.

How dare you talk to your mother like that?

My mother? She's not my mother!

I'd be totally embarrassed if she was.

- Go downstairs, now. - What for?

Because you're wasting millions on your whore?

Screw you both.

Ruslan!

I don't need you.

The brat is way too spoiled.

Vanya, why do you treat him like this?

So he said some things he didn't mean, why hit him for that?

What do you mean? He was rude to you.

You think I should go easy on him after that?

Not gonna happen.

Vanya.

Did you find him?

Of course not.

I'm sure he'll show up.

Show up... We're biting our nails here, аnd he's out there sulking.

Don't worry.

It'll be OK, have some tea.

Don't touch me!

Calm down.

Screw you, nothing happened.

You're saying that because you won.

He didn't push anyone.

He took on three of our guys. Look at him, he's a two meter tall psycho.

Guys.

Check it out.

Just some drunk, leave him.

Guys, I think we should call an ambulance.

ACADEMIA

Hello. Did you ask for me?

Yes, yes. Come in, Nastyenka. Come in.

Take a seat, Nastyenka.

Nastya, a have a personal request.

Looking for an anniversary gift for your wife again?

No, it's much more serious this time.

You see, I have this friend, an old friend. Since Army days.

Vanka Fomin. Well, Ivan Fomin.

A well-respected man, an official from the sports sphere.

Anyway, he's in trouble.

His son got beaten. Really bad. He's in a coma now.

I heard about it, saw it on TV.

Fomin was arrested as the prime suspect.

Yeah. That's right. Anyway...

Uh-huh.

Look, Nastya...

I know Ivan very well.

He's not capable of that, you know?

He just isn't.

He really cared about Ruslan, especially after the death of Ruslan's mother, Ivan's first wife.

He's widowed?

Yes, he's married the second time, to Yulka. Anyway, it doesn't matter.

What matters is that they found traces of heroin in Ruslan's blood.

And a bag with 50 more grams in his pocket.

Did Fomin know that his son was taking drugs?

Not really, no one did.

He's not that kind of guy.

Fine.

But let me tell you this.

I'm not covering up anyone.

If we find out Fomin is guilty, he will receive his punishment.

Zorina...

If we find out Fomin is guilty, I'll deliver his punishment myself.

Don't doubt it.

Go ahead, don't let me keep you.

Nastya.

Thank you.

Your guy is running late. Let me call you a cab.

No need. He's always punctual.

Always?

How often?

Don't fret over semantics.

It's just that he's my boss, and he's always accurate at work.

There he is, by the way.

Hold it.

Granin, Lev.

Hello, are you Kirill?

- That's right. - Pleased to meet you.

There was a traffic jam... Allonka, hi.

I can see you're looking well.

Under Rizhskaya overpass...

Open your knee like this, the cast shouldn't be too tight.

It's convenient to be a doctor's wife, huh?

Kirill, get in.

No, I'll take the metro.

Are you sure?

Of course, you said there's a traffic jam.

Well, if you must.

Don't worry, I'm no Hercules, but we'll make it to the elevator, right?

Let us take you to the metro at least.

No, don't worry, it's okay.

Call me when you get there, okay?

Alright.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Ed, don't get upset, you'll be luckier in love.

You're young and handsome.

Well, I'm sorry I don't have your long time experience

of playing in drinking establishments, sir.

Everyone here?

Great.

So our victim is a teenager, Ruslan Fomin.

Multiple injuries, he's now in the hospital in critical condition.

He's still alive?

Yes, Ed, alive, but barely.

So what does it have to do with us?

I had the same question.

But turns out the victim's father is Lobanov's good friend.

So it's a personal order.

I wouldn't put it that way, Dr.Lemke.

Before the incident, the father and the son had a serious confrontation.

And the father doesn't deny the fact that he gave his son a solid slap.

Then son stormed out.

Father followed him.

We don't know where father was.

Son was found in critical condition, beaten to death,

pumped up with drugs, heroin in his pocket.

And Ivan is now in the holding cell on domestic violence charges.

We just need to find out whether this person is guilty or not.

Everything clear? Then get to work.

Yes ma'am.

Awesome. Let's go.

So you used to be a gymnast? Are you at some competition?

Latvian Championship among juniors.

Wow. How was it?

First place.

Cool.

Look, I found blood here...

They must've had a fight somewhere here? Is that right?

They didn't fight, they had an argument.

Then Vanya gave Rusik a slap.

Ah...

How did their argument start?

Rusik asked Vanya for a large amount of money.

And Vanya didn't want to give it to him.

Rusik was enraged, one thing led to another, and...

Actually, it's a miracle he survived. He lost so much blood.

Can I see the X-rays?

Please, here are the X-rays and the test results.

Yeah, they did a number on him.

He could've died straight away.

Yeah, it's a miracle.

His organs are reversed.

Heart's on the right, liver on the left.

Yes, a very interesting case.

The first of this kind in my practice.

They found a large dose of heroin in his blood.

Yes, he has fresh injection marks on his arm.

Interesting indeed...

Thanks.

She really is a gorgeous woman.

Yeah, she's okay.

Okay? Like you've had better.

Well, no, I mean...

Fomin is a millionaire. Women like her are supposed to be all over him.

He could've picked a celebrity, I don't know...

Yes, dear colleague. Who would you pick?

I don't know, maybe Megan Fox.

Oh, you've got good taste.

And the eyes of an eagle. Check it out.

Do you think it's our junkie's blood?

It's the only option.

Yeah...

Check this out, more prints.

Yeah.

Shoes.

Female, high heels.

There's more blood here.

Yes, but it's not Ruslan's.

Why?

Because the drops are small, it couldn't have splashed so far out.

Let's check.

OK.

But if I'm right, you'll buy me lunch for a month.

Deal.

Once again, I didn't hit my son.

I just gave him a slap so that he watched his tone with adults.

Did he say why he needed the money?

No.

He just showed up and asked for it.

If I'd known how this would end, I would've given it without thinking.

How often did you have such arguments?

Sometimes. He's a teenager, not very easy to connect.

For how long did he have drug problems?

He didn't have drug problems.

Why are you asking?

The test results indicate the presence of heroin in Ruslan's blood.

We also found heroin in his pocket, 50 grams.

Impossible.

Ivan, I understand it's hard for you to accept this, but facts are facts.

That explains his recent behavior.

And one last thing, can you show us how you hit your son?

I didn't hit him, it was just a slap in the face.

Like this.

You broke his nose with that slap.

I miscalculated. I have a heavy hand.

I'm a former sambo athlete.

Ask anyone, I never hit my son.

It was the first time!

Thanks.

Yulia? Yulia Fomina?

Yes, do we know each other?

Yes, hello. Counselor Zorina, we spoke

on the phone a couple of hours ago.

Hello.

I want to ask you a few questions, if it's possible.

Do we have to do this right now? I'm going to see my husband.

It won't take much time.

You know, I'm willing to answer all your questions, but not now.

Fine, then let me call you later and we'll arrange a meeting.

Yes, of course.

Counselor.

No one knows Vanya better than I do.

I don't believe he could beat his own son to death.

All these accusations are ridiculous.

Alright, we'll deal with it.

I won't keep you any longer.

Thanks.

Ah, too bad I'm not a millionaire.

Just an ordinary pretty girl, nothing special.

- They all look the same. - Not true, Nastya.

There's something special about this one.

Something mysterious.

You also think she's hiding something.

I don't know. Maybe.

Good figure. Probably a former ballerina.

Yeah...

A bear and a ballerina, what a wonderful couple.

They drove him into a corner, knocked him to the ground and started beating him.

He simply didn't stand a chance.

Anything else?

Yes, Shurik and I found 2 blood samples behind the garages.

One belongs to Ruslan, the other is supposedly female.

In the other one Shurik found traces of titanium dioxide, wax, dye...

Ed, cut to the chase.

Anyway, it's lipstick.

Most likely, from a split lip.

Maybe Fomin's wife was assisting him?

Oksa, she's not a boxer, she's a gymnast.

Besides, we took DNA samples and compared them to the stranger's blood, they don't match.

But the blood belongs to the Slavic ethnic group.

And I assume she was blonde.

Get out of here. You can identify hair color from DNA?

Yep.

Okay, keep it to the point.

There were traces of heroin in the blood of the girl with a split lip.

She was a drug addict.

Also her shoe size is 37, judging by the shoeprints.

I see. Anything else?

Yes. Information from Dr.Lemke.

They weren't just beating Ruslan, they were deliberately killing him.

5 strong directed blows to the liver.

The only thing that saved the guy was a rare genetic anomaly.

Transposition.

What's transposition?

Transposition means reversed organs.

Heart and stomach on the right, liver on the left.

His father had to know about it.

So if he'd wanted to kill his son, he surely wouldn't have missed.

Let's say Ruslan needed money for drugs.

His father didn't give it to him.

So Ruslan borrowed the money but couldn't pay it back.

And got beaten for that.

But why did he have heroin in his pocket? It's weird, something just doesn't add up.

It is weird, at first they gave him drugs for no money,

let him go home, and only then beat him.

Moreover, they let him keep the drugs.

Maybe he got beaten for something else?

And the drugs were just planted.

No drugs were found in Ruslan's hair or nails.

Even if he had been using heroin, it was a long time ago.

Or maybe he didn't take it at all.

Looks like it was all staged.

And not to his father's benefit.

Son is a drug addict, he's in the sports sphere.

It would ruin the reputation of an official like himself.

Yes? Yulia?

Did something happen?

Ruslan had a cardiac arrest.

He's being resuscitated.

Get here, I need to show you something important asap.

Could you tell me the number of the room Ruslan Fomin was admitted to?

Fomin? And who are you?

His girlfriend.

Let me check.

Miss.

Miss, wait.

What scared her so much?

Apparently, the girl has problems with the law.

Zorina Anastasia, the investigative committee.

Take me to Ruslan Fomin's room.

Follow me then.

How is he?

Everything's fine. The crisis has passed, thank God.

Yulia, you wanted to talk to me about something.

- Did I? - Yes.

You know, with Ruslanchik's condition I completely forgot what I told you.

But everything's good now, he's getting better.

That's what matters.

No, he hasn't regained consciousness yet.

But he surely will.

Yulia, you should go home and have some rest now.

Yes.

But since you're here, can I ask you a question?

Yes.

Could your family have enemies?

No.

But... I don't rule out the possibility.

My husband is a very influential man. With an attitude.

It's just that we think this whole drug thing is a setup.

What do you mean?

You said it yourself, your husband is a very influential man.

Besides, he's bad-tempered, he's difficult.

They probably tried to use his son to get to him, to compromise him.

You know, I know nothing about my husband's business.

Besides, I don't have time for this now.

Miss.

Miss.

Miss, wait.

Well, this is it. This is the fight, just like Yulia and her husband told us.

Ed, did you check the saliva from the bottle?

I did, and I got a match with the blood of the girl from behind the garages.

The one that could be ginger.

So maybe there's a reason she's hanging around the hospital?

- Trying to finish him off. - Where are we supposed to look for her?

I doubt she'll show up at the hospital.

Yeah, you bet.

If the girl didn't commit serious offenses,

we won't find her in the database for sure.

We should send her pictures to the district inspectors.

Maybe we'll dig up something.

The girl is from a broken home.

Could be in the database as a troubled teenager.

Here. I managed to take a picture of her.

It isn't very clear though.

Here. Can you fix it a little bit?

No problem.

Pass me the pills, please.

Hold on, the bottle is empty. It was still full in the morning.

Who cares, give me the pills.

You can't take so many painkillers.

It's not good for you.

The only thing I can think about right now is that my leg hurts.

Let me think about my liver later.

Why didn't you tell me that at the time of the accident you were in the car with Granin?

How do you know?

Nastya told me.

Of course.

I forgot you have a personal spy in the IC.

What spy? I asked her, she got the information.

- It doesn't matter anymore. - Yes, it does.

Why does a stranger know about our problems?

Don't change the subject. Why didn't you tell me you were in the car with Granin?

Because I didn't want you to think badly of him.

Because you're jealous.

- Give me those goddamn pills. - Do I have a reason to be jealous?

No.

Lev is a good person. Besides, he's my boss.

And the accident wasn't his fault, someone crossed into the oncoming lane.

I don't like that you use your connections to spy on me.

What's next, bugs?

I'm just worried about you.

Uh-huh.

Just one pill at a time.

- Morning. - Morning.

You're a little late.

- Look who's talking. - I've been here for some time.

Even went out and got coffee.

You want one?

I do.

Even restored the picture of our redhead?

Sure, it was, like, half an hour's work.

Atta girl.

Good job.

We need to send an orientation throughout the city.

Done.

I sent an orientation to the regional police departments and received a response.

There is one.

Anokhina Sofya, born in 1996.

Registered with a rehab centre.

She was detained for using drugs.

She was underaged. They took pity on her and let her go.

Here's her address and phone number.

She lives in the same neighborhood as the Fomins.

Thank you, Oksa.

What kind of relationship did you and Ruslan Fomin have?

It was love.

What do you care?

We know for sure that you witnessed him being beaten.

And your blood was found at the crime scene.

How do you explain it?

So?

It could be there for all kinds of reasons.

Maybe I got there later.

Given your past and reputation, no one will waste too much time on you.

Leave me alone!

Sonya, Ruslan is dying.

And those who beat him are walking free.

Tell us what happened, and we'll try to help both of you.

You can't help us.

Do you think you can help him?

We'll find the criminals sooner or later.

And you'll be held as an accomplice.

I'm not an accomplice.

You refuse to cooperate with the investigators.

Cover up the actual criminals.

And I doubt those will be all of the charges.

Sonya, Anastasia Vladimirovna and I know perfectly well that you're a good girl.

But believe me, you're in trouble.

And not everyone is as understanding as we are.

So this dude asked me to meet one guy.

Well, meet Ruslan.

And then, well, make him try the white.

- You mean get him hooked on heroin. - Yeah.

But it didn't work out.

Who asked you to get him hooked on drugs?

I don't know, I didn't ask him to show his passport.

A serious guy, bald, smiling all the time.

Did the two guys that beat Ruslan know this smiling guy?

They're his men.

Well, they introduced me to him.

I used to buy dope from them.

Then I ran out of money.

So he said, like, there's a way to pay them back.

Ruslan took a shot that day, right?

No.

It was all a setup, he didn't even see the dope.

Then how come we found heroin in his blood and in his pocket?

I don't know, that's not possible.

They must've set it up.

I see.

Here.

Write down everything that happened in detail.

Then you'll go to the hospital, you need medical help.

I'll go with you, in case you change your mind.

Go ahead, Sonechka, write it down.

Now it's clear that it was a setup.

Their goal was to destroy Ivan Fomin's reputation.

They wanted to get his son hooked on drugs, get him into debt.

Then they tried to kill him and expose him as a drug addict.

So we need to check Fomin's enemies.

- Oksa. - Will do.

However, the decision to kill Ruslan seems strange.

After all, they talked to him, let him go home and get the money.

No one had beaten him until then.

Apparently, they also injected him with heroin against his will.

Moreover, the attackers were executing someone's order.

What if while Ruslan was away getting the money, the customer

called the attackers and gave them a new instruction.

What's the explanation?

Maybe something happened in the meanwhile?

Right. The fight between Ruslan and Fomin.

The customer benefited from that fight.

He had the opportunity not just to

compromise Fomin, but to put him behind bars.

To get rid of him for good.

How did he even know about the fight?

He had very little time while Fomin was looking for his son.

Well, there are two options.

Either the Fomins' apartment was bugged, or...

Or one of the spouses told the customer.

Very good, Shurik.

So we need to check the apartment for bugs.

Right. I'll call Artur.

You and him will go to the Fomins' apartment and check everything.

Oksa, check the call billing of Fomin and his wife,

their landline number as well.

Uh-huh.

Sorry.

Yes.

Yes, I got it.

Great job.

Thanks.

Take care.

The police just called. They detained the bandits Sonya pointed out.

Awesome.

Nothing.

Check the kitchen.

Yulia, do you remember who you spoke with that night?

- Maybe you made some calls? - Not that I remember, no.

Just tell us.

We'll soon get your call history anyway.

Well, that's no secret.

Take my phone and check.

I didn't call anyone, I hardly ever use it.

- May I? - Yes, sure.

You're not lying. No calls.

- Oksa, thank you for coming. - No problem.

Though I'm not done with those low-lifes yet.

Yeah, anyway, here we have everyone Fomin had beefs with.

Officials, business partners, relatives.

Impressive list.

Yes, he even kicked out his own nephew because of some stupid thing.

What about the call history?

Fomin's and Yulia's mobiles are clean.

No outcoming or incoming calls. But someone called their landline.

Just when Fomin was out looking for his son.

- OK, who called? - Here.

Kuzovlyov Gennadiy Sergeyevich.

We have a winner.

Actually, he's one of the top haters.

Fomin had a tender. And Kuzovlyov is a wholesaler, he supplied sports equipment.

Anyway, Fomin once rejected almost a whole consignment.

Kuzovlyov had tough times back then.

Yeah, he had problems with his business back then.

- Anyway, I'll take this. - Yep.

I'll go interrogate our low-lifes.

Please tell Ed to go to Yulia's

and ask her all about Kuzovlyev.

- Thank you for the lists. - OK.

Do you know this man?

No.

Are you sure?

We have other witnesses.

What witnesses, this is bull.

Maybe it's bull, maybe it isn't.

Maybe I'm actually trying to help you.

Because these witnesses will point him out.

And he'll point you out.

For us to commute his sentence.

I don't think he'll sacrifice a few years

of his luxurious life to cover you up.

You have no witnesses.

Do you want to check?

- We didn't talk to him in person. - Shut up, you idiot.

- Go on, please. - We don't know him, period.

Any more questions?

Listen, I don't know any Kuzovlyov, leave me alone, will you?

But he called your landline that night.

Yes, someone called and asked for my husband, but I don't know who.

What did you tell him?

I briefly described the situation for him.

Look...

Leave me alone, will you? I've been on edge for days.

I'm exhausted.

You know the rules. You break the equipment - you pay.

Let's deal with it in a nice way, eh?

I didn't break it, it was unintentional.

Unintentional?

Listen up...

Gennadiy Sergeyevich?

Yes. Who's asking?

Zorina Anastasia Vladimirovna. The investigative committee.

Hi.

Is everything clear? Go.

How can I help you?

Follow me. I don't have much time.

Fine.

When was the last time you talked to Ivan Fomin?

A while ago.

Our friendship didn't work out well.

Yes, I know. What about your friendship with his wife Yulia?

You're talking about that incident with his son, right?

Exactly.

We have information that you called the Fomins' apartment the night of the fight.

Yeah, I did. I wanted to talk to Ivan.

But he wasn't home. His wife said he'd gone out to look for his son.

She didn't mention that Ivan had hit his son?

She mentioned some kind of family issues.

But I figured that was none of my business.

Though, honestly, I didn't expect that from Vanka.

He's a tough guy, sure, but he loved his family.

Beating up his own son like that - this is all very strange.

I'm so sorry, I have to take this.

Yes, Arkadiy, I'm listening.

Nastya, Sonya identified Kuzovlyev as the customer who hired those thugs.

Ah. I got it, great.

One more thing - Ruslan regained consciousness, I'm on my way to see him.

Yes, thank you, Arkadiy, I got it.

Any more questions?

If not, please excuse me, I have urgent business to attend to.

No, no more questions, thank you.

Goodbye.

Father hit me.

Just once.

I don't wanna press any charges.

Please, leave him alone.

You see, he already admitted that he'd hit you.

And since you're underage, whether we want it or not,

there will be a trial.

He'll be in trouble, right?

Of course he will. But I don't think it will be a big trouble.

You're coming to his defense.

So maybe it will work out.

Alright, fine.

He'd never hit me before, it...

It was my fault. I said some things, I had it coming.

We met your girlfriend the other day, Sonya Anokhina.

Sonya?

- Is she okay? - She's fine, don't worry.

She's in the next ward, we're treating her for addiction.

Can we talk?

Well, not right now. Later, lie down.

Why do you have to talk to her now? You can barely breathe.

I told her a thousand times she had to... Had to get clean.

She promised me, and then we broke up.

Well, it's good that she's alright now.

Were you collecting money to pay off her debt?

Well...

Where was she supposed to go?

Those scumbags were pressuring her hard.

Don't you think she could've just been using you?

Yes. She could have.

But you know, I...

I don't blame her.

Even if she was, it wasn't by choice.

Anything can happen in life.

This is a good approach.

Good for you.

There's no direct evidence against Kuzovlyov, no one will take Sonya's testimony into account.

The thugs won't talk, it's a dead end.

Yeah, now Fomin will surely lose all his positions because of this heroin incident.

Yes, and Kuzovlyov benefits.

No one will reject his consignments anymore.

We need to prove Kuzovlyov's involvement.

For now this whole story seems very smooth, but there is one thing.

Why did Yulia tell a complete stranger

that Fomin had hit his son during the argument?

That doesn't seem like her.

People like her normally keep things in the family.

There's another weird thing.

Remember, yesterday, when Ruslan was taken to the intensive care unit,

she called me and said she wanted to talk to me about something.

And then she suddenly changed her mind.

Well, I don't know. She seems like a nice girl and she loves her family.

She wouldn't do mean things to her husband.

Still, Ed, ask Oksa to run a complete check on Julia.

Who she is, where she's from, what she does, how she met Fomin.

Okay.

Well, can I go?

Unfortunately, no.

You hit your son, smashed his face.

So don't leave town before the trial.

Yeah, I got it.

How are you?

I'm OK, could be better.

Let's go see Ruslan, he's already awake.

Sure.

Let's go.

Even if Julia is guilty toward her husband, they truly love each other.

Yes, sure.

Your cynicism again.

Kirill, let's not argue about cynics and romantics.

Okay, okay.

Anyway, it's time to go home.

We had a rough day.

Morning.

- Hi. - Hello.

Why so sad, guys?

I would check out your cheerful look after a sleepless night.

What have you been doing all night?

Us? Digging up dirt on Yulia Fomina.

Well done.

She had an exciting life.

Anyway, that's what Yulia Fomina had been doing before she met Fomin.

Indeed, the girl had an exciting life.

She used to work at a fancy strip club called Mother of Pearl.

Try to guess who was the owner of the club?

This one's hard.

- Kuzovlyov. - Bingo, chief.

So maybe Kuzovlyov sent Julia to Ivan

just like he sent Sonya to Ruslan.

And all this time Yulia has been spying on Fomin.

That's why she told Kuzovlyov about the fight.

I think it all adds up.

I think we can bring her to the IC.

Maybe it's time to stop? The case is solved.

Ruslan is alive, he pointed out the criminals.

They'll drop all charges against his father, aside from that unfortunate slap.

But then a criminal will evade responsibility.

The thugs will remain silent, and the only person who

could testify against Kuzovlyov is Yulia.

Wait, there's Sonya.

Yes, there's Sonya, but nobody will listen to her with her heroin past.

Why are you so sure Yulia will talk, what if she won't?

Then we'll only tear apart a family.

Well, their relationship is the last thing I care about right now.

Nastya, Fomin won't forgive her betrayal.

She really loves him, and she loves Ruslan like her own son.

I really hope so. Because it's their feelings I'm going to use.

We have to come up with some other way to pressure Kuzovlyov.

There is no other way, Dr.Lemke.

And please, don't lecture me.

Kuzovlyov already tried to kill Ruslan once.

And we don't know what else he's capable of.

Why did you ask me to come?

I already told you everything I know.

Yes, but you lied about something. About Kuzovlyov.

- You do know him. - What makes you think so?

If I were you, I would like to hide this part of my biography too.

What is she showing her?

What's going on here?

It's in the past. I didn't want Vanya to know.

Of course, but I don't think Ivan would've blamed you.

You were young, you decided to move from Latvia to Moscow.

You wanted to go to college but it didn't work out.

So you agreed to work for Kuzovlyov personally.

Actually, I was just a dancer.

Kuzovlyov suggested that you met Ivan Fomin.

Gained his trust.

Then started listening to his conversations, watching him.

That is, spying for very good money.

What the hell are you talking about? I would never betray my husband.

Intentionally - no. But you fell in love with Ivan Fomin.

And, obviously, you wanted to stop the whole operation.

But then Kuzovlyov called you and threatened to tell Ivan

everything if you refused to keep working for him.

No, it's not true, you're making it up.

Then all this happened.

Kuzovlyov called you and decided to find out whether Fomin had given Ruslan the money.

And you told him that Fomin had hit Ruslan, smashed his face.

Then Ruslan stormed outside and Fomin ran after him.

That's when Kuzovlyov conjured up this plan.

What the hell is she talking about?

Yulia, what happened is not your fault.

You just wanted to save your marriage.

But the thing is, if you continue to cover

up Kuzovlyov, you won't save your family.

You don't know what else he'll ask you to do.

I'll deal with my family on my own.

Ruslan always tried to be like his father.

Watch this video.

This is a surveillance tape.

- Who's that girl? - That girl is a drug addict.

She was hired by Kuzovlyov to get Ruslan hooked on drugs.

But she fell in love with him.

And their feelings were mutual. Sounds familiar?

You just told me that Ruslan always wanted to be like his father.

What do you think Ivan will do?

Yes, it's true.

I was working for Kuzovlyov.

Spying on Vanya.

So you knew about Kuzovlyov's plan to set up Ruslan and compromise Ivan.

Yes.

And you confirm that he hired two big guys who beat up Ruslan.

Yes.

Easy, Ivan, easy.

Today you'll collect your things and get out of my house.

I don't want to see you again.

Come on.

Jerk!

It wasn't meant for you, Kirill, it's the machine.

Ate all my money.

You shouldn't have told Ivan everything.

That's OK. They had a fight, they'll make up.

Love forgives everything. If it's true love, of course.

And if not, then it's for the best.

Sometimes it's better not to play with matches.

What's your problem anyway, Kirill?

Do you think it would be better for them to live a lie until they grow old?

What would you prefer if you were him?

If you were Ivan, would you look away all your life?

Sooner or later truth reveals itself.

I'm sorry, Kirill. I guess I...

What are you sorry for?

Vanya. Vanya, wait, please, Vanya.

Vanya, I'm asking you. Vanya, please.

Vanya, don't go. Vanya, Vanya, don't go.

Don't go, don't go!

Yulia, don't!

Call an ambulance!

What are you looking at, call an ambulance!

Call an ambulance!

I already did.

Kirill.

Kirill.

Kirill.

- Is she gonna live? - I don't know.
