Life.

A carnival of decay for those who know the truth.

Look around you, and you'll see how insignificant it is.

Love death, for only in death you can trust.

It's the only thing you can count on.

Death is always by your side, always behind you.

And it will never betray your beliefs and principles.

Only you, your soul and...

Death.

ACADEMIA

Tell me where you got this.

Thanks.

Kirill, what do we have here?

It's okay.

Female. Twenty - twenty-three years old.

Time of death - three or four days ago. She was strangled.

There's a strangulation furrow on her neck. Moving on.

There's a hematoma on the back of her head.

Someone probably hit her hard in the head before she died.

Did you find her ID?

No, just a mobile.

But it was in a puddle so it's not working.

Nothing interesting in her purse: makeup, keys,

a broken mirror, a paperback.

Allow me.

Kirill, could the victim have been struck with this?

That's possible. The diameter of the tube matches the size of the hematoma.

Kind of.

Wait! Stop, stop. Stand still.

Stand still.

Looks like we found the murder weapon.

Well?

Here. I found this on the victim's neck. Not junk jewelry, real gold.

So they went through her wallet, but didn't take the gold. They were in a hurry.

An inexperienced robber?

No. I don't think it was a robber.

The killer simply took the first thing they saw.

Okay. So what do we have?

No signs of struggle. No signs of rape either.

Most likely, she was knocked out when she entered the building,

and she was strangled after she lost consciousness.

I found several hairs that belong to the victim on the tube from the scene.

There were also epithelium particles and traces of blood on the fishing line.

They match the blood type of the victim.

And I found soil on the shoes of the deceased.

They match the samples from the crime scene.

She must've walked there by herself.

And they didn't move her body after she died.

And I checked the missing persons database.

The picture matched one Yekaterina Dubova.

Her mother declared her missing three days ago.

I see.

We have to ask her mother to identify her.

I hate this part of my job.

Tamara Nikolayevna Utkina?

Anastasia Zorina, hello.

I'm sorry you had to wait.

This is Katyenka's husband.

Sergey.

Nice to meet you.

Tell me, is there a possibility that it's not her?

Tamara Nikolayevna, that's why we called you -

to know for sure whether it's Yekaterina or not.

I understand it's hard for you right now.

Maybe you should stay here?

I think Sergey will be able to identify her.

No.

Yana, stay here.

Please.

Yana, I think you should go to the rest room, you could use a hot tea.

Miss, are you OK?

My sister went missing.

We came here to identify her. My mum is in there right now.

OK, just... Just don't worry, OK?

People often make mistakes, maybe... maybe it'll be alright.

Here, take the tea.

I'm Yana, and you?

Shurik. Sasha.

Do you work here?

Yes.

I see.

What's taking so long, huh?

Yan, it's Katya.

Sergey, how long did you know Katerina?

Almost a year and a half.

We got married four months ago, and I moved in with her.

Tamara Nikolayevna, your daughter was found in

an abandoned house, not far from where you live.

What was she doing there?

I have no idea.

Yana.

Did your sister tell you where she was going after work?

No.

Nastya, I'm sorry, are you alright?

Yeah, I'm fine.

I'm sorry. Who is this?

Your mother?

This?

This is my father's first love.

May I?

Thank you. I'll sit, do you mind?

Lobanov told me that father left this woman when he met my mother.

I found this picture among my father's documents.

So he kept it all this time.

Well, yes. You never forget your first love.

I just wonder where she is now. What happened to her.

I think it doesn't matter. It's been so many years...

She probably got married.

And your father remained just a memory of youth for her.

Maybe...

But what if father ruined her life?

We'll probably never know.

Anyway, what happened, happened.

There's nothing you can do about it.

True. I guess you're right.

Okay, Kirill, it's late.

My sister must be waiting for me. Let's go.

Fine. Goodbye.

Yuriy Kuzmich, did you ask for me?

Ah, Nastyush. Come in, come in.

Take a seat.

You see, Nastya...

We have two more murder cases...

In process.

The murders occured recently.

The pattern is the same.

A young woman, a blow to the head, strangulation.

Yeah... And...

Almost all valuables are in place.

A series?

Looks like. So I decided to combine them...

And... You got it, right?

Give them to you and your academicians.

What happened? What's with that sadness in your eyes?

Lobanov gave us a couple more cases.

Here, Renata Lobova, a student, was found in a cable well.

Christina Chernova, an eleventh grade student, found in the basement of an abandoned house.

Probably a series.

A series, you say?

Why, did the girls die under the same circumstances?

That's the thing. Yes.

So we have to look for an actual serial killer now?

Are there any signs of ritualization?

No.

Good.

Are there any signs of enjoying the process?

No.

Signs of sexual assault?

No.

See, and you say maniac, series...

It's too early to say, Kirill.

The damage is similar. Though we didn't find the murder weapon.

What can you say about the psychological portrait of the criminal?

Well, just general stuff.

Criminals who commit such crimes are usually

people with a deformed emotional sphere.

They are emotionally numb.

Insensitive to the suffering of others and affective.

Yeah, it is too abstract.

I did what I could.

Alright, maybe Nastya will be able to find some

leads after talking to the victims' families.

Maybe.

Dmitriy, I need to talk to you about Renata Lobova.

What's the point?

You'll never arrest those who killed her. They are untouchable, right?

If you suspect someone, tell me, please.

Did they kill someone else? From the editorial staff?

Why editorial staff?

Renata was killed because of her articles in "The Voice of the Streets."

Here. Have you read it?

No.

Try to understand...

We are the opposition. We say it all as it is. About politicians.

After each article, Renata received so many insults and threats online.

You have no idea.

Dmitriy, where were you the day of Renata's death?

I already told your men everything.

We were in the office until dinner, then she went to see the translator.

Why?

Our articles are also printed in the Western media.

So we work with a translator.

Innokentiy Stepanovich Konkin.

He's also a teacher at the institute.

Hi.

Hi.

Your door was open. Dim, I brought your book back.

Yes, thank you, Olesya.

Maybe you could give me something else?

Of course, Olesya.

I'll come by later. I'm busy.

Tell me, Dmitriy.

Do you recognize any of the girls in the picture?

These are Yekaterina Dubova and Christina Chernova.

No. I don't know them.

Well, then, Dmitriy.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Hi.

Hi.

I'm Yana. We met at my sister's identification.

Yes, how are you?

Mum is crying all the time.

Katyechka this, Katyechka that.

Come on...

You have to understand. She...

Just lost her daughter, after all.

But don't worry, it will pass soon.

Yeah, no one cares about my feelings.

She would've felt better if I had died instead of her.

You... What are you talking abot, huh?

You need a distraction.

A distraction. I don't even know where to go.

I just walk around on my own.

Where are you going?

Freerun training.

What's that?

Well, this is a type of parkour.

When you jump across buildings?

Something like that.

I saw videos on the Internet. Listen, can I come with you?

You said I needed a distraction, and my mum won't even notice that I'm gone.

Fine. You can. But on one condition.

We're telling your mom. She shouldn't worry now.

Let's go, we're running late. Go-go-go!

Oksa, hi.

One Konkin Innokentiy Stepanovich is mentioned in the Lobova case.

Find me everything you can on him.

Cool!

Guys.

For how long do I need to train to catch up with them?

OK, don't rush. Any training begins with the basics.

Today we will learn how to fall.

Uh-huh.

Anyway, to land properly, you need to do a somersault straight after the fall.

How do you do it?

Sit down. You've landed.

Legs apart.

Uh-huh.

Hands forward, let your thumbs

touch, look straight, use your feet.

Yes, then you kind of push.

Put your head in the right position, and... Somersault.

And take the same position. Come on.

Well, almost. Just put you arms closer together.

Your legs must be further apart, otherwise you'll break your teeth, got it? Get up.

Well done!

Shurik, is there any news about Katya?

Sorry, I can't tell you that. Really.

Yes, I understand.

I like it here! Can I come back again?

Sure. We'll be glad.

We have fun here all the time.

But next time wear a sports outfit, not a skirt. Though...

Valeras, your pants look great on her.

Good morning. Well, colleagues? What about the murders?

All the girls were killed where they were found. Like Dubova.

So all the girls followed the killer voluntarily.

Now this is really weird.

They aren't little girls, they must know that

you can't go to deserted places with strange men.

It didn't have to be a man. You see...

The victims were strangled after a blow to the head.

So they were unconscious. A woman could've done it.

Women don't usually commit serial murders.

But we won't exclude this theory.

Oksa, what about Konkin?

Konkin works at the Institute of International Journalism,

teaches English, also works as a tutor.

There was this scandal a few years ago

- a student accused him of harassment.

Anyway, it was hushed up, and Konkin still works there.

Now that's really interesting.

We need to talk to this guy.

Anastasia Vladimirovna, someone's here to see you.

Nice place you've got here.

Anastasia Vladimirovna, this girl introduced herself as your sister.

I see a resemblance, of course. But who knows.

That's OK. She really is my little sister.

Olya, why aren't you at school?

Nastya, just don't get mad, okay?

Our chemistry teacher got sick, they let us go early, and I lost my keys.

Can you give me yours?

Thank you.

Hello.

My name is Alexander. Shurik.

And you?

Olya.

Nice to meet you, Olga Vladimirovna.

Anastasia Vladimirovna, Oksa called the dean's office.

Konkin is still at the university. He has two more classes.

Thank you, Shurik. I'll go see him.

I should go.

Uh-huh.

Olya, why didn't you call? I would've come.

Nastya, come on, don't get mad.

I wanted to see your Academy. So I had an excuse.

A great excuse.

Now we have to change the locks.

Why change the locks? I'm kind of a locksmith.

Grandpa taught me. I'll do it for you easily.

No, Shurik, thank you. We'll call an actual locksmith.

Nastya, come on. We'll be waiting for that locksmith for two weeks.

What if robbers break in?

Come together in the evening, I'll bake a pie for you.

Great! In that case, I'll choose the best lock for you!

I'm good at this, Anastasia Vladimirovna. I won't let you down.

OK, fine.

As soon as you're done, go straight to our place. I'll pay you for the lock.

Olya, be at home. Call me if you need anything.

Stop treating me like a little girl, huh?

See you tonight.

Here. In texts and online, young people often use abbreviations.

For instance, "CUS", which means "see you soon".

And this is how you can write "thank you" to an american.

In the British youth slang...

Innokentiy Stepanovich, can you continue at the next lecture?

Because the security will come, they'll start grumbling again...

Ah, yes, thank you, Kostya. Yes, guys, sorry, that's it, thanks.

Damn.

Innokentiy Stepanovich!

Yes.

Hello. Here.

Oh.

Oh, thank you.

I was lucky to find you after your classes.

I got carried away. And you are?

And I am...

Anastasia Zorina, the investigative committee.

I need to talk to you.

Yes...

What... How can I help?

Do you recognize the girls in the pictures?

This one lived nearby and sometimes asked me to help her translate various articles.

This is Christina Chernova. And this is Yekaterina Dubova.

Do their names sound familiar?

Even if they do, I had no relationship... no business with them.

Where were you on the twenty-fourth and twenty-fifth of May?

What kind of question is that? You think I remember?

Innokentiy Stepanovich, could you please come with me?

Listen, is it really necessary?

Yes, it is. It is necessary for the investigation.

Anatoliy Petrovich.

Glad to see you! You came to support me!

I'm glad you didn't forget about me! Really, really glad!

I'm glad too, but unfortunately I'm not Anatoliy Petrovich.

You must've mistaken me for someone else.

This is Arkadiy Rotkin, our consultant.

Sorry. My mistake. I thought you were my colleague.

That's alright. It happens.

Arkadiy, wait here, please.

OK.

Innokentiy Stepanovich, we know that some time ago

there was an incident.

Your student accused you of harassment.

Please tell me about it.

I already did it a thousand times.

It's all lies. That girl was a truant.

Zero knowledge.

I told her I wouldn't give her a pass.

She asked for additional classes, then went to

the rector and accused me of some harassment.

Then that girl made the decision to drop out.

Fine.

Let's talk about the late Renata Lobova.

Her colleagues from the editorial office she used to work at

told us that she went to see you, but she never made it.

No, I was home alone.

Anna Vadimovna, I already said it many times.

Anastasia Vladimirovna.

Can anyone confirm this?

I don't know.

Fine.

Look closely at these pictures again.

I already told you, I don't know these girls. I have no business with them.

You want to put the blame on me?

In that case, I won't say another word.

Very well.

I'll leave you alone. Not for long.

What do you think?

What kind of murderer is that? Just look at him closely.

Uptight, hysterical, ascent-minded.

If he killed anyone, he would at least forget his passport at the crime scene.

Maybe he's just messing with us?

Besides, he's preparing documents for traveling abroad.

I think he's simply exhausted by these endless interrogations and accusations.

He is simply scared.

Maybe you're right.

Still, I don't trust this Konkin guy.

I can't detain him, but I think I'll make him sign an undertaking not to leave Moscow.

This is outrageous! I have to! I must!

I have a symposium abroad! How dare you not let me go!

I'll file a complaint!

Hold on.

Not a second! I won't stay here for another second!

Hold on! Let me see you out.

You think I can't see myself out?

Leave me alone already!

This outburst only confirms my suspicions.

OK.

Uh-huh.

And how is this freerun different from parkour?

Well, parkour is more of a sports thing.

You need to get from point A to point B as fast as possible.

And freerun is a philosophy.

Moving for the sake of moving.

Actually, all these distinctions are absolutely meaningless.

After all, all that matters is that you move without restrictions.

That's exactly how I see it.

OK, OK. I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna do it.

Listen, come to our place. We're having a show just for our guys soon.

Can I?

Of course you can, why not? Come!

You're so good at it.

Thank you. The skill.

- That's it. The lock is ready! - Yes!

Thank you. Let me give you some pie for that, huh?

Look, I mean, sounds awesome.

But Anastasia Vladimirovna will come soon, I don't think she'll be OK with it.

Of course she will be. You really helped us.

Come on! I baked it myself.

What's in it?

I'll tell you.

Let's go.

Good morning!

Hello!

Did you call me?

Yes, that's right. Zorina Anastasia Vladimirovna.

I will investigate the death of your daughter.

Have a seat.

Thanks.

Under different circumstances, I'd say it's nice to meet you and all...

I understand, Viktor Alekseyevich,

but I have to ask you and your wife a few questions.

Yes, sure. Irina will be here soon.

Tell me, does this travel agency belong to you and your wife?

Yes. We created this business from scratch.

And as far as I know, you just moved to this neighborhood,

and Christina had to change schools.

What kind of relationship did she have with her classmates?

Yes, that's true, we recently purchased an apartment closer to the city center.

Christina didn't want to move.

By the way, this is Irina. My wife.

Hello.

Meet the new investigator of Cristina case.

Anastasia Vladimirovna.

Nice to meet you.

Hello.

It's him.

It's his fault.

What do you mean?

I didn't approve from the very beginning, but he gave her that damn phone anyway.

Irina, I don't really understand, what phone?

I'll explain.

The thing is, shortly before Christina died,

I gave her an expensive mobile phone.

Which wasn't found on her after the murder.

And my wife was convinced that they killed our daughter because of it.

She didn't have enemies! No one could wish her harm!

It's that damn phone.

I always knew you shouldn't give your child such expensive things.

Irina.

Tell me about the relationships between Christina and her new classmates?

Were there any problems?

No. I don't think so.

She became a little more reserved after we moved.

But it was understandable, the awkward age, the first love.

So Christina had a boyfriend?

Yes, she introduced this boy to us, Ruslan Kurov, her classmate.

Allow me.

Yes. Sure.

Tell me, do you recognize the girls in the pictures?

No. Who are they?

I can't tell you that yet, but as soon as I find

anything relevant, I'll let you know.

Goodbye. Thank you.

Goodbye.

Guys, hello. Where can I find Ruslan Kurov?

Well, I'm Ruslan. Hello.

Hello.

Anastasia Zorina, the investigative committee.

Rus, we'll go then.

What do you want from me? You have no right to interrogate me without my parents.

Why are you so nervous? Are you hiding something?

I want to talk to you about Christina Chernova. Do you know her?

Well...

Of course, we dated.

And how long had you been dating?

Well, she came to our school recently.

We sat at the same desk and it just happened.

I see.

Where were you on the 25th of May?

Am I a suspect?

I saw my tutor. You can ask anyone.

I will.

Ruslan, did Christina have enemies?

Of course she did. Half the school hated her.

Go ahead and ask them.

Because she was new?

No. Because she was seeing me.

The girls couldn't stand her.

I see.

Because you're a catch.

Call me if you remember anything.

Here's my business card.

- Bye. - Bye.

Hey!

Ma'am!

Are you talking to me?

How old are you?

Don't hit on Ruslan.

Old gals are not his type.

Find some retired guy.

Molestation is illegal, by the way.

You want to talk about the Criminal Code?

You can come with me to the investigative committee.

It will be more convenient this way.

My mistake. Sorry.

Wait.

Did you know Christina Chernova?

Well, I saw her during breaks.

Nothing special. Just a girl next door.

Where were you on May 25th?

At home.

I got a D in Chemistry. So my parents grounded me.

Didn't let me out of the aparetment for a week.

OK, I gotta go, I have a Russian class.

Oksa, do we have the computer model?

We need to move faster.

Perhaps our maniac is already looking for another victim.

What, Konkin? Do you think he's our serial killer?

We have no proof yet.

Konkin denies everything.

OK.

The blow was made from the left to the right. So the criminal is left-handed.

Can we determine the height of the criminal by the spot?

The height? One hundred and sixty-five centimeters.

But we can't fully rely on a computer model.

Yesterday Yana asked me how the investigation was going.

Yana? Yana Utkina?

Yes.

What did you talk about?

She's depressed because of her sister's death. I just wanted to help her somehow.

Shurik... I hope you did't tell her anything.

No, come on! Please, I never make the same mistake twice.

Besides, there's professional ethics. By the way, that's what I told her.

Fine.

Let's go home.

I'll see you tomorrow with new ideas.

Yes, sir!

Seryoga!

You rock, man! Awesome!

Come on!

- Hi. - Come on, come on.

Hi! Thank you for coming.

Well, I promised.

Just don't tell Nastya, OK?

Why? She didn't want you to come?

Actually, I didn't ask.

I can't imagine what I'd have to hear if she found out.

I promise she won't find out anything from me.

I'll take this secret to my grave, boss.

Valeras, come on!

OK, I gotta run.

Good luck!

Good job.

Go, go.

Awesome.

Go, go.

Good morning, colleagues!

Good morning.

Shall we begin?

We shall. I studied all the cases carefully.

Here's my conclusion.

It's very unlikely that the murdered girls voluntarily

agreed to go to an abandoned place with an adult stranger like Konkin.

Forget about Konkin.

He has an alibi on the day Lobova died.

Hold on. What alibi? Why didn't he just say so?

He's a phenomenally absent-minded person. He could've just forgotten about it.

It's true.

The field investigators found out he was at home studying with his student.

The student confirms that they were just studying. They had extra classes.

Very well. Konkin is not a suspect.

I think our killer is the same age as the victims.

Or even younger, a teenager.

That's quite possible.

It can explain the killer's height.

Shurik, you've been talking to Yana a lot, right?

What kind of relationship did she and her sister have?

Well, I don't know, different. What kind of relationship?

Well, they argued sometimes, like you and your sister, right?

Anastasia Vladimirovna, I know what you're saying.

But why would Yana kill her own sister? Besides, she has an alibi.

And these two girls, why would she kill them?

Anyway, I don't understand how a teenage girl could handle two big girls.

What if there were several girls?

Shurik, did you notice if Yana is right-handed or left-handed?

Again... Well, I don't know. Right-handed, I guess.

Listen, since you're clinging to this Yana, let me find

her social network profile and draw up a contact graph.

What do you mean?

Well, we'll try to find friends connected with

the other victims, maybe indirectly.

I'm gonna need five minutes.

Yep.

I thought we wouldn't find anything, clear the girl of all suspicion.

I've seen her.

Olesya Petrova. She's friends with Yana and Dmitriy Rebrov.

Yes. Yes, yes, right. She came to see Rebrov.

Yes, Dmitriy is friends with Renata.

I've seen this girl too. I saw her at Chernova's school.

What? Svetlana Surkova.

Here, she's friends with Ruslan. That's Christina's ex-boyfriend.

Colleagues, let's say they all know each other. What's the point of suspecting Yana?

What motive could she possibly have?

Some girls her age tend to show interest in adult men.

She could be attracted to Katya's husband.

This is an interesting theory, but these are just speculations.

Also, Christina's mother said that her daughter

could've been killed because of an expensive phone.

An adult person wouldn't take risks because of a stupid thing like a phone,

but a teenager, alas, can commit a crime because of an amusing gadget.

Then I'll ask the Chernovs if

Christina's phone had any special features.

Thanks.

Oksa, they described the missing phone.

It was in a white case with sequins in the shape of a bow.

That's all for now. Can we check the phones of our suspects?

These kids love showing off. I think it will be easy for me to check them.

Yes. Especially because you haven't gone far from these kids.

Just a few years.

A few light-years.

Oksa, wait.

Sit.

I want to talk to you about the trial.

It's a very serious charge. And you're facing a long sentence.

I can tell you're hiding something from me.

I won't tell you anything.

Why?

Because I won't betray another person.

No, it wasn't me who hacked the database, but it doesn't matter anymore.

What do you mean - doesn't matter?

If we prove that it wasn't you, all charges will be dropped.

I won't say anything.

Very well.

You don't want to betray another person, but they are betraying you.

Look, Nastya, this is personal.

I told you, I won't say anything.

The phone looks similar.

Such a cute bracelet on her wrist. Obviously handmade.

That's Sveta's. She has an online community where she sells this stuff.

Maybe she gave or sold it to Olesya.

How do the beads hold?

I don't know. A fishing line, I guess. Why?

The girls were strangled with a fishing line.

Yes, if we find the line of this craftsgirl Sveta, we can

compare it with the one we found at the crime scene.

I'll go to Lobanov, ask for a search warrant.

Can I leave early today too? You don't need me anymore, do you?

Early?

The young man has a date.

Did I decode the outburst correctly?

If it's not a date with Yana, you can go.

Thanks.

Yelena Alexandrovna, it would be better if you told me where your daughter is.

Olesya has information which is very important for the investigation.

I told you, I don't know.

What do you want from us?

You have no right.

Calm down!

Don't shut me up!

Yes.

What? Sveta disappeared?

Fine. Start the search.

Already? A fishing line?

Great.

Take it to us, we'll compare it with the fishing line from the crime scene.

Uh-huh.

Start the search.

There, there it is!

To be honest, I prefer thrillers, not soap operas.

Actually, I picked a girly movie on purpose.

Really?

To be honest, me too. Next time we'll see a thriller.

OK.

Alright, thanks, I gotta go.

I'll walk alone from here.

I mean, what if Nastya comes home from work and see us.

You think she won't approve?

Do you want to find out?

Not really.

Well, then...

- See you tomorrow. - See you tomorrow.

- Bye! - Bye!

Help! Help!

My sister is sick! Please, help!

Miss, what happened?

I don't know what happened. Please! My sister, my sister is sick.

God, we should call an ambulance!

Help!

Police! Everyone drop their weapons!

How are you? How are you? How are you?

Where does it hurt? Does it hurt? Tell me.

Who are they?

They.

They are nasty girls. They are suspects in our case.

I have to tell Nastya.

Shurik, do you realize that my sister almost got killed because of you?

Actually, I saved her.

If you hadn't been there, nothing would have happened.

I told you, you can't get close to our victims's relatives.

Anastasia Vladimirovna, how was I supposed know that Yana is such a

wacko that after the husband she'd switch to me and they'd want to kill Olya?

You weren't supposed to know anything! You were supposed to follow one rule.

I appreciate and respect you as a member of our team,

but I forbid you to come near my sister.

I got it.

Nastya, don't worry. Olya is fine. A bruise on the shoulder and a couple of scratches.

Thank you, Kirill.

Can I go home?

No, you can't. I'll take you.

I'm tired. If you're so worried, let Shurik take me home.

Shurik can't take you home. Shurik has to work.

Alright, Shurik, you will compare three fishing line samples.

One from where Dubova was killed, the second from Svetlana's apartment,

and the third is the one they almost killed my sister with.

OK.

Olya, Olya!

You'll have to make a statement. We'll use it in the case.

Anastasia Vladimirovna.

Olya experienced a lot of stress. She could use a therapist.

Can I have a chat with her in your office?

Not for long. We'll have some tea, that's it.

You can.

Olya, wait for me in Anastasia Vladimirovna's office.

I suggest you start with Olesya.

She follows the flocking instinct more than others,

so I think she'll talk first.

Tell her the girls are already giving testimony. She won't deny it for long.

OK. I understand. Thank you.

Don't worry. Everything will be OK.

Good. Sign here and you can go.

Home?

No, to the holding cell.

Sveta and Yana are already there. Their sentences will be commuted for testifying against you.

Wait. I want the same! Why should I pay for them?

Because according to their testimony, you planned everything, so you must answer.

That's not true. It was Yanka's idea.

She fell in love with this guy, Sergey, and asked us to help her get rid of Katya.

Let's start from the beginning. How did you all meet?

We met online.

There's a forum where girls write about unrequited love.

Then we started to chat privately.

This Ruslan guy dumped Sveta. For the new girl.

And I love Dima since we were kids.

So you just wanted to get rid of the competition?

Well, it was Yanka's plan.

She said that if we helped each other,

we wouldn't get caught, because we had an alibi.

Write it down.

From the very beginning.

Boo!

Well, you wanted thrillers. And now you won't even take me to the movies.

Well, you know what your sister said.

I know. She told me a lot of things too.

How's the lock? Does it work?

It does.

Is that why you invited me to this secret meeting?

To ask about the lock?

Of course not! I missed you so much!

Haven't seen you for a day.

Do you think Anastasia Vladimirovna won't catch us?

She won't.

I told her I'd signed up for a Japanese course, so now I can escape three times a week.

Well, well, well!
