ACADEMIA

Most likely, he wanted to dispose of the body. Then he got drunk and passed out.

Yeah, a criminal genius, no less.

Though I don't understand why you need my expert group.

The case is clear. All you need is to find the victim.

The thing is, the driver had Roman Mishin's ID.

A former detective, worked in the 90s with Lobanov and your father.

Roman Mishin...

I don't remember my father mentioning him.

Your father was kind of a mentor to him.

Then there was some shady situation.

Mishin allegedly let down Lobanov, and he fired him.

Does Lobanov know what happened?

Not yet. I called you straight away.

He's a good detective and a good man. Besides, he's your father's protege.

It feels like you're defending him.

Mishin has sunk very low in recent years.

Who knows what's on his mind.

That's why I wanted you to take this case.

You and your expert group.

Fine.

Thank you.

We checked Roman Mishin's client base.

You were the last person to employ him.

Yes, you're absolutely right, I suspect my wife is cheating on me.

I hired him to watch her. Why, did he do something?

No, we're still trying to figure it out.

Is this your wife?

Yes, unfortunately, this is my wife and Vitya Begunov.

Who is Vitya Begunov?

He's my protege. A singer.

When was the last time you talked to your wife?

Last night she said she was going to see her friend.

I called her, but... She was out of reach.

I need one of Janna's belongings.

Why?

For the DNA test. They found blood in Mishin's car.

And no one can find your wife.

Hold on, is it Janna's blood?

Don't worry, we don't know whose blood it is yet.

That's why we need this test.

Herman, it's almost 3, the meeting is in 10 minutes.

Yeah.

I'm sorry, who are you?

This is Mikhail, my driver.

Mish, go on, I'll call you.

Got it.

Nastya, Nastya.

Hi, I'm so sorry I'm late.

It's OK. Only 10 minutes earlier than the last time.

Miss!

A large Unagi set for us. Yes?

And the bill, pelase.

So soon?

I need to question a suspect.

What's the point of having lunch together if I wait for you longer than it lasts?

I know, I'll work on it.

I mean, I could as well have lunch in my office.

I'm sorry, it's just that we discovered interesting circumstances on this new case.

Something happened?

Yes. Two policemen found a man in a car, he was covered in blood.

Turned out, he's a private detective and a former investigator.

And he used to work with my father.

You know?

Fine, I won't distract you, and I'll go with you.

No, pelase, sit.

I'll do it myself, thanks.

Miss, can I have a doggy bag?

We'll have lunch next time. OK?

Kuzmich, quit playing your games.

I know all your tricks.

I wouldn't have recognized you.

You've sunk so low.

Kuzmich, are you there?

These tricks won't work on me.

I know all this stuff. You and Zorin taught me.

Hello, hello.

Take a seat.

Let's sit.

You mentioned Vladimir Zorin.

Zorin was a great man, unlike that bureaucrat Lobanov.

Vladimir Zorin simply collected facts carefully.

And analyzed evidence. And now, unfortunately, all evidence points to you.

Someone wants to set me up, they smeared the car with the victim's blood.

They found a gun on you, it was missing two rounds.

I do have a gun, but I never loaded it.

Check the glovebox, there's a sealed round.

We already did.

We found a box with 7 missing rounds.

Ballistic examination confirmed that someone recently shot your gun.

There were only 5 rounds left in the magazine.

I told you it was a setup.

Did you drink that night?

Well, just a little. I don't know where all those bottles came from.

And you have no idea how you ended up in the Moscow Region?

They must've knocked me out.

If they knocked you out, you'd have bruises, and I don't see a single one.

Look, they probably injected me with a sedative or something.

You're not gonna check the blood, are you? You need to watch the budget.

How do you explain this money?

A fairly large amount was transferred to your account.

From Herman Boykov.

I never had this much money in my life.

Here's what I think. A jealous husband hired you to kill his wife.

And you, as a person who drinks heavily, had a drink on the job

and fell asleep in the car after you hid the bodies.

I just have one question: where are these bodies?

You're good.

I don't know where the bodies are, because I didn't kill anyone.

What makes you think they're dead?

You have no bodies.

All the evidence points only to you.

Blood in the trunk, blood on your clothes.

Well, run the DNA test again. It could be a mistake.

Like Zorin used to say...

Check the rear, yes?

You never know where they'll hit you.

Fine, I'll run another test.

How do you know what Zorin used to say?

I'm his daughter.

Nastyona?

I saw your picture about 15 years ago!

I'd never have recognized you.

Just don't think that being friends with my father will help you.

I'll only run another test because I also

have too many questions on this case.

Look, I'm sorry if I offended you!

I look like a fool in this outfit.

Not a fool at all, very cute.

We'll also get your hair cut, and then it would be just perfect.

- Cut my hair?! - Yes.

But mum, why?

I think it's too much. It's a maths contest, not a fashion show.

Knowledge is what matters.

Actually, we'll be on TV, so we need to look good.

Well, it's all street fashion on TV. Am I right, Fedya?

Yes!

Why are you packing so much, huh? It'll just be one week.

I was thinking, maybe we'll stay for another week.

Let Fedya see the city and just relax!

Hold on. Am I missing something? What do you mean - another week? I have work to do.

Well, you don't have to go if you don't want to.

What do you mean - I don't want to? It's my son's event!

No, I mean, if you'd rather ruin your relationship with your boss over it...

No, it's OK. Nastya... Nastya will understand.

Of course.

Speaking of.

Yes, Nastya.

Kirill, are you busy? We have a new case. Can't make it without your help.

- Please. - Fine. I'll be there soon. Okay.

Got it.

Here! James Bond.

James Nerd.

Tell him.

Why me? I'm also... a nerd!

Tell me, how much do private detectives charge these days?

Well, according to this article about infidelity - 2 thousand rubles per hour.

And how much did you pay in total?

You know, I don't remember.

It's not what I cared about.

- Really? - Really.

Judging by your bank statement, Mishin worked for you round the clock.

Seven days a week, for several months, no days off.

For the two pictures he made, I'd never have paid such money.

So maybe you hired him for a different purpose?

What are you talking about?

Ed did the test, the blood does belong to Boykova.

Wait, Herman, it doesn't mean anything.

That's the thing, the blood was frozen.

Meaning?

When frozen, blood cells die,

red blood cell membranes burst.

What does it mean? Someone took Janna's blood beforehand and froze it?

Poured it on Mishin, then stained the car?

Is that it?

Looks like.

I don't understand. Can you explain?

We can't, Herman. We don't understand either.

Good afternoon.

The deductive method is telling me that you listen to hard rock.

Yeah, I am, I am.

Our kind of guy.

What do you listen to?

Russian - Aria, foreign - Black Sabbath.

Aria, very well, favorite album?

Night Is Shorter Than Day, 95.

Hero Of Asphalt, 87.

Let me shake your hand, brother.

Roll up your sleeve, please.

Who is this?

This is Dr.Lemke.

He'll take your blood sample.

If you were actually sedated, there must be traces of sedative in your blood.

Sit still.

When will you let me go? I have a thing on Friday.

Ouch, it hurts.

Don't be a baby, okay?

We'll let you go once the investigation is over.

Release me on bail, I wanna help.

We'll see, but first talk to Dr.Rotkin, he's a very good therapist.

It's too late for me to start seeing a therapist.

Come on, these are just formalities. Do you like Sex Pistols?

Kind of.

Alright.

Our friend is full of deviations.

There's obvious manic-depressive psychosis combined with alcoholism.

And that's just the surface.

Do you think he's capable of murder?

Theoretically, he's capable of anything, but I don't think he's our killer.

He's unstable, he must be kept away from people.

He's helping us with the investigation.

We know practically nothing about him.

And what we know is not credible. Hot-tempered, drinking.

So what?

That doesn't make him a criminal.

At least that makes him a criminal against a civilized society.

Alright, I'll decide whether Roman will help us or not.

He was working with my father. Father only worked with those whom he trusted.

Maybe your father knew another Roman Mishin, not the one who's now in jail?

Dr.Lemke, no one's forcing you to be friends with him.

I'll deal with it myself, you can keep sitting in your laboratory.

It will make Gnatiuk very happy.

What does Gnatiuk have to do with it?

Nastya, I'm not saying Mishin is not a good person.

But he has serious mental problems.

You can't just walk around the streets with him.

Let me decide who to walk around the streets with.

What's going on here? Is everything OK?

Dr.Lemke, I found a strong tranquilizer in Roman's blood.

How did it get in Roman's blood?

It could've gotten there with alcohol.

Are you sure it's a tranquilizer? Maybe a drug?

Of course it's a tranquilizer.

This thing is stronger than any drug,

knocks you down straight away, it's like a bat to the head.

I remember, I have a lecture in the morning, I'll be there.

Don't worry, I talked to the administration, they

are willing to re-schedule your lectures for another week.

By the way, as for the investigation, do you think you'll make it?

I hope everything will be fine, thank you.

I don't want us to have any kind of confrontation.

We work together after all.

Yes, I absolutely agree wth you.

And...

Kirill... What are you doing on Friday?

You know I don't plan so far ahead.

Come to my Birthday party.

I won't promise anything, but I'll try.

Anyway, I would be very pleased.

Good luck.

Hello.

Kirill, I know you're worried about me, but I'm not a little girl.

He's not a little boy, and he's completely unpredictable.

I can stand up for myself.

OK, let him investigate, as long as he doesn't get in the way.

Kirill..

I want to deal with it myself.

I'm not going to sit in the laboratory.

Kirill.

This is personal.

Roman Mishin was my father's friend.

I want to do it on my own.

Don't get offended, everything will be alright, I promise.

And if I need your expertise, I'll call you.

It's a wonderful morning, Nastyona.

I didn't expect to be released today.

I told you about tranquilizers, alcohol doesn't wash out experience.

It doesn't, though you tried really hard.

Mocking me, huh?

Now where's my flask?

What flask?

Where's my lucky flask? It's made of silver...

Roman, we didn't find a flask in your car.

They stole my lucky flask.

Roman, are we going or not?

Yes, saddle up, we only have two days for everything.

What's so important on Friday? Another alcomarathon?

Right, I have an alcomarathon...

And we're meeting Janna's mother in half an hour, right?

- Oksa. - Huh?

Call Nastya, find out how she's doing.

Can't you call her?

I'm busy.

Are you? With what?

Thinking.

Ah.

Hi.

I'll go call Nastya.

Kirill, I need to speak with you.

Yes, sure.

I used my contacts in the IC.

I talked to Roman's colleagues and friends.

And I'd say the whole picture is not very good.

The whole picture hasn't been very good from the beginning.

Turns out, Mishin was working in the investigative committee

at the same time Nastya's father went missing.

By the way, he was a very good employee.

He and Zorin solved the most complicated cases.

Why did he quit then?

He didn't, he was fired.

It was a huge scandal.

After Zorin's death, he accused his colleagues of inaction.

Said they couldn't protect such a great man.

Tell me, what happened to Nastya's father back then?

No one knows, that's why he got mad.

He demanded an official investigation.

Then he stormed into Lobanov's office. Yelling, trying to start a fight.

That's what got him fired.

Try to understand!

Nastya trusts him, but he's not the man he used to be.

He's an alcoholic, abandoned by his wife and daughter.

He is a suspect in a double murder.

Alright, I understand. We must do something.

Well, that's why I came to you.

I have a few ideas.

I'm afraid Herman could have killed my daughter.

They had a very tense relationship.

What do you mean?

He was constantly controlling her.

Was jealous all the time, picking fights.

And one day she came to me all in tears, with a black eye.

Hubby's handiwork.

How often did he use his fists?

A couple times.

When he found out Jannochka had an affair with Victor, he threatened to kill them both.

What are we looking for here?

Kirill said, look for something that the IC experts have missed.

So we're looking for organic material, chemical impurities, DNA, everything.

Even a small blade of grass can become evidence.

Yeah.

Let's check the grass, by the way.

- Please. - Thank you.

Can you tell me what he's doing here? He's a suspect.

Well, then, I'm not a suspect, the police know better.

Don't worry, he was released under my responsibility. He's helping.

Where's all Janna's jewelry?

In a bank, she put it in a safe deposit box a week ago.

Have you seen that safe deposit box?

I didn't, she mentioned it.

She mentioned a lot of things, and look what happened.

You said her lover Victor Begunov was a singer.

Yes, yes.

He's an aspiring singer, we recorded a very successful first album in Lipetsk.

So he didn't earn much?

And Janna could've sold her jewelry and given all the money to Victor.

As an option, he could've forced her to sell it, then killed her.

I don't understand...

He's white trash, and Jannochka loved... luxury.

Loved everything to be served to her on a golden platter.

Yes, you already mentioned she wasn't a cheap girl...

Roman, please.

He's right.

He's right. When she was 18, she married a very rich man.

Lived with him for a year, then took half of his assets.

Looks like she and Victor are both opportunists.

Well, we have to go.

Thank you very much.

As they say, birds of a feather...

Please.

- Take care. - Goodbye.

So what do we have?

You sound just like Nastya.

Arkadiy, I thought you weren't going to help us?

You know, when it comes to Roman Mishin, I'm on the fence.

Anyway, I never refused to participate in the investigation.

OK, fine. Ed, what about the organic material?

I found moss and Calla palustris in the soil from under the wheels.

Wild calla.

It grows in silt or in places with low water levels.

So Roman brought the car closer to the water

to pull out the bodies, and threw them in the swamp.

By the way, the traffic inspectors found him in the Moscow region.

Where exactly?

I have it written here.

OK. By the way, there is a lake nearby.

Only two kilometers away.

Someone was here recently.

Yes. There are tire traces of just one car.

Apparently, no one came here from that side.

By the way, Ed mentioned moss and wild calla.

I looked up this wild calla.

Anyway, it's somewhere here, here it is, I think.

There's plenty of moss anyway.

Wait!

Doc, what is it?

Who wants to bet that it belongs to Roman?

This is it, guys.

Nastya won't be happy about this.

But we can't hide the truth from her.

We need to open her eyes. She's biased toward Mishin.

Arkadiy, can I ask you a favor?

Of course.

Depends on the favor though.

The thing is, Roman has nowhere to stay.

And, frankly, I don't want him to stay at my place, my sister's there.

I want to leave him here, but he needs to be looked after.

And you seem to get on well with him.

Maybe you could stay with him?

Of course I will, no problem. Where is he?

In the next room, drinking coffee.

Then I'm going.

My friends...

Is it just me, or is there a serious conversation in the air?

Kirill, how about you show us your discovery?

Ed and Shurik did all the tests...

It's Roman's spit on the bottleneck.

It's his lucky flask. Where did you get it?

Not far from the place where the inspectors found Roma.

And where, as we think, he threw away the bodies.

So you think the killer planted this flask at the crime scene?

We think Roman is the killer.

Guys, don't start.

Wait, wait, Shurik didn't find the traces of the tranquilizer on the flask.

I think that if we search the lake...

I'm sure we'll find the bodies there.

And you draw these conclusions only because of the flask?

Nastya, too many coincidences that are not in Roman's favor.

You always think objectively.

What's the matter? Is it because Roman worked with your father?

I think Vladimir Zorin would want to check everything.

Fine, we'll organize the search first thing tomorrow. Are you satisfied?

Not bad.

Enough.

Wait, that's it? Roma, what happened?

I'll have some tea.

Nice place you got here.

Rom, don't.

What do you mean - don't? It helps me sleep.

Then you won't sleep tonight. And neither will I, I'm afraid.

Arkash, let's just have one.

Let them drop all charges first.

Then we have one, even two, but not now.

You're a rocker.

I'm at work.

Brother by blood.

Come on, for music. It's sacred.

Arkash.

For music?

For music.

Just one. Just one, Roma.

Come on.

Cheers.

Arkadiy. Arkadiy, wake up. Arkadiy, where is Roman?

Here.

Here - where? Did he run away?

Roma! Roma!

Where have you been?

I stepped out to get some mineral water, get a breath of fresh air.

Romochka, come on.

We could think you decided to bail on us.

Please.

Nastyona, I was thinking.

I think Vitya and Janna staged their deaths.

A very interesting idea.

No, listen.

Why would Vitya kill Janna, who brought him a lot of money.

She could've pawned her jewelry to get the money for their future together.

Herman said they were both opportunists.

And Victor had a criminal past.

Well, sounds interesting. Nastya, really.

Janna might've found out that Herman had hired Roman to watch her,

so she and Vitya might've used him as a scapegoat.

Besides, they had the frozen blood.

Uh-huh.

So you're saying they knocked you out and poured the frozen

blood that they'd prepared beforehand in the car.

Janna has access to Herman's account.

She transferred money from his account, making it look as if he'd paid you for their murders.

This bitch was spending money right and left, and he was keeping it low.

We need to look for Vitya and Janna.

I know, this is what we're doing.

QED.

I don't know what you were planning to do, but you wouldn't

fool us for much longer.

Sooner or later, the bodies would surface.

Nastyona, I have no idea how they got here.

Kirill found your flask here.

And we found the soil from this place on the tires of your car.

It's impossible, I've never been here before.

I was knocked out, you found the tranquilizers.

Doctor, tell them.

You could've taken them after you dropped the bodies.

Why?

Maybe you didn't have enough booze.

There is frozen blood. Why was the blood frozen?

Are you serious, Nastyona?

Take your hands off me. You can't do this to me.

I can't go to prison!

At least wait until evening, after all, it's Friday.

Done.

In the car, in the car.

Nastya, you're a traitor.

Nastya.

Interesting. Vitya and Janna were still alive when they were brought to the lake.

Vitya was hit in the face, but the cheek isn't swollen, so he died immediately after the blow.

There's also a very strange mark on his face.

Looks like a ring. The attacker probably had a ring on their finger.

That's the thing, look. The mark is very clear.

Uh-huh.

You can see the details.

What about Janna?

There are no traces of struggle on Janna's body.

It looks like they came to the lake voluntarily.

Maybe they were forced? Maybe they were brought there at gunpoint.

I'm worried about Janna's gunshot wound.

The shot was made at very close range and at an odd angle.

Oksa must've already prepared the models, we'll check everything.

OK, here. Maybe it doesn't matter.

There's an injury on Janna's wrist. But... It healed long ago.

Sorry.

It's OK.

Yes, Alla.

Kirill, I'm sorry, I'll be home late again.

What do you mean - late, what about Fedya?

Our neighbor will pick Fedya up from school.

Look, it's embarrassing, she's watching him so often.

I know, it's just that me and the girls are going to Katya's to celebrate her promotion.

I'll be home late, don't wait for me.

Alright.

OK, fine.

Well, that's it.

Apparently, Janna tried to grab the killer's gun.

Right. That explains the odd angle.

It doesn't explain one thing, why she was trying to get shot.

Maybe she was protecting Vitya?

Oh, oh, dad and mum fighting?

What if the shot was an accident?

My little girl... Where did you find her?

On the bottom of the lake, she was shot in the head.

It wasn't supposed to happen.

Zinaida... Are you hiding something from us?

Now any information can help the investigation.

Your daughter is dead.

And the killer is walking free.

She...

She wanted to disappear with Vitya.

You mean stage her death.

Yes.

Yes, she had a plan, she...

She pawned all her jewelry and transferred small

amounts from their family bank account every month.

When she saved up a large amount, she asked her

friend to help her arrange everything.

Did she mention her friend's name?

No, no, I don't know, unfortunately, I don't know.

I'm sorry, you said that Herman used to hit her.

Were there injuries? For instance, a broken wrist.

Yes, yes, it happened.

She and Herman had a fight, she hit him...

He twisted her hand, miscalculated his strength.

Thank God, Mikhail interfered.

Mikhail as in Herman's driver?

Yes.

Yes, he often broke up their fights.

Why did he meddle in family matters?

Well, he's not just a driver, he and Herman have been friends since school.

At first Mikhail was Janna's driver, but then she said she could drive her own car.

That she didn't need help and she would do everything on her own.

It's horrible. It's horrible.

It's horrible.

Sorry, but Herman isn't home, you'll have to wait for him.

That's fine. Actually, I wanted to talk to you.

I don't want to discuss Herman's life behind his back.

I understand. Have you and Herman been friends since school?

Yes, since the 8th grade.

And when did you meet Janna?

When I started working for Herman.

He was looking for a driver, a reliable man who could protect her.

In fact, someone who'd perform the duties of a bodyguard.

Then he found me, I had no money, no job.

But I had a good training. Both the Army and the special forces.

What kind of relationship did you and Janna have?

What are you talking about? I'm just a driver.

Where were you on Wednesday night?

Well, at home.

Sleeping.

Like other normal people.

Why all these questions?

You know, just trying to check all theories.

Why are you messing with me? Am I a suspect?

Mikhail, you're not a suspect.

It's just a usual routine, we're questioning Janna's friends and family.

Mikhail has a good physical training, after all, he's a special forces soldier.

Theoretically, with his experience, he could pull it off.

Did you see his ring? Exactly the same pattern as on Vitya's cheek.

Besides, he was accompanying Janna for some time, so

he could have feelings for her.

Yes, besides, he saw her and Herman fight every day.

Herman was beating her, humiliating her.

Janna's mum said he'd even broken up their fights.

Also, banal envy. Herman has a pretty good life.

Work, success, a beautiful wife.

Mikhail's life is a little worse.

Besides, Herman hired Mikhail only out of pity, as a servant.

But then why did he help Janna with her scam?

What do you mean - why?

Janna has money, has a plan. It's an ideal option for Mikhail.

Janna and Vitya help Mikhail frame Herman and

make everything look as if he hired Roman.

But if he loved her, why did he kill her?

Remember the reconstruction?

He didn't want to kill her.

He wanted to kill only Victor. And leave with Janna.

I told you we needed to check her ex-lovers.

No. You didn't.

Well, of course, I didn't have the time. You put me in jail.

I'm sorry, I feel bad.

That's alright, you were protecting your woman.

My colleague.

Your partner.

You don't have to tell me - together or not together...

You work together, that's what matters.

You're practically a family.

Another piece of wisdom from Vladimir Zorin.

I think I know how Mikhail sedated me.

He bought the exact same flask, put a sedative in it and swapped the flasks.

Then put mine by the lake.

This is all wonderful, but we only have one

proof - a mark on the face.

It's not nearly enough to put Mikhail in jail.

Yeah, it's a problem, we need to come up with something.

Wait, you keep your gun unloaded, right?

Right.

And you keep the rounds in the glovebox?

Yeah.

Great.

Are you sure he's here?

Herman said he'd let Mikhail leave early. And he often works out here. There he is!

Keeping in shape?

Yes. I love sports. Improves my mood.

Well, we're about to ruin it.

Mikhail, you're under arrest for suspicion of the murders of Janna Boykova and Victor Begunov.

On what grounds?

You're good. You left no fingerprints, no DNA.

But you couldn't erase the fingerprints from the rounds you'd already loaded.

Should've used your head.

You left your fingerprints when you were loading the gun.

I kept it unloaded.

Gotcha.

Alright, Mishunya, I'm curious. Why did you kill a woman, eh?

And what did I ever do to you?

You just turned up - an alcoholic and a loser.

They'd put you in jail without hesitation.

I'm gonna punch you so hard!

Roman, calm down.

That's why I recommended you to Hera when he was looking for a private detective.

You'd been helping Janna from the very beginning.

You wanted to kill Victor and leave with Janna. Right?

Right. But she chose that half-wit.

Took a shot for him.

I didn't want to kill her. It was an accident.

It's too late to explain yourself.

You can't get Janna back. You'll have plenty of time to think about it behind bars.

Take him away.

By the way, what time is it?

Half past four.

Nastya, can I take a shower at your place?

They shut off water at mine. You know, due to non-payment.

Yes, sure.

Why are you so nervous about this performance?

It's not just a performance. Do you see that beauty?

That's my daughter.

She's only in the second year of GITIS, and she already plays the main roles.

That's great.

She's great.

We haven't talked in 7 years.

I tried to fix our relationship, so she invited me to the performance.

This is my chance to get my daughter back.

Well, how do I look?

You look great. Good luck! And thanks for your help.

Let's keep in touch! Take care of our counselor, Doctor.

Don't worry, Bogeyman, we'll be fine.

- Do you have a spare ticket? - No.

I wonder what will happen to him?

You know, Nastya, there's a kind of people who always find a way.

Our Bogeyman is one of them.

Maybe.

Do you need a lift to the metro?

Let's have dinner, huh?

Oh, I'm sorry, I already agreed to go to the movies with Denis.

I didn't know you had plans.

Let's do it next time. OK? I promise.

- OK. - Uh-huh.

So do you need that lift?

No.

Oh, come on in.

Sorry, sorry I'm late. Couldn't get away from work.

Don't worry, it's OK.

Your Fedka is asleep, today he'll sleep at my place.

You'll pick him up tomorrow morning, when you have time.

Please, I don't want to bother you.

What?

I said I don't want to bother you.

What are you talking about? Who's bothering?

This is such a joy for me.

Fedka is breathing so quietly, not disturbing anyone.

So we won't wake him today.

Alright, thank you so much. Thank you.

Not at all. Spend your free time with your wife, you need it.

Take care, I understand. Bye.

Alright, bye.

Kira, I'm sorry, I'm not coming home tonight.

Why?

We're having such a great time, I think we'll be here a while longer. I'll stay at Katya's.

I see.

Did you pick Fedya up?

He's sleeping, I'll do it tomorrow morning.

Okay, don't worry about me, I'll be back early in the morning.

Eat something, there should be some pizza in the freezer.

I see.

No one... am I early or late?

No, you're just on time.

I thought you were having a party. Where is everyone?

Actually, everyone is here.

You and me.

Really?

Well, since we're all here...

Let's get our party started.

Do you have a corkscrew?

I do.
