And to my folly self-derided
Here at your feet I will admit!

It ill befits my years, my station…
Good sense has long been overdue!

And yet, by every indication
Love’s plague has stricken me anew:

You’re out of sight — I fall to yawning;
You’re here — I suffer and feel blue,

And barely keep myself from owning,
Dear elf, how much I care for you!

Kirill! I’ve been calling you all morning.
And you, it turns out, left the phone.

Nastya, look, thanks.
Something urgent?

A body, as always. More
precisely, what’s left of it.

A forester found human
remains near Ruza.

- Did they call from Ireland?
- Huh? How do you feel?

Good. I feel a little uneasy.

Because it turned out that
I’s not a good hostess.

Bullocks. Your sister
gave me tea.

She also entertained me
with different stories.

She can do that. Not like me.
I brought a guest and fell asleep.

Come on. You’re tired.

Kirill, I felt very
well yesterday.

Well, what about our remains?
Whole body or fragments?

I don’t know. Probably,
they’re already in the lab.

Let’s go!

Yeah... Animals, of course,
did great job on him...

So, we have a man of thirty years,

strong-built.

The cause of the death —
a gunshot wound in the head.

Time of the death... time of the death...

Was he a biker?

It’s all in the realm of speculation.
Well, further...

His hands were tied.

It’s likely that he’s still alive when
they brought him to the forest...

I’ll tell about the time of
his death later. Yes.

Judging by the degree of decomposition,
the death occurred about a month ago.

It turns out that he’s killed in
the early days of last month.

A blunt force trauma to the head.

Maybe by the handle of a gun. I
think he’s knocked senseless, tied up.

He’s unconscious when they brought
him to the swamp and shot there.

Under his fingernails I found
particles of epidermis.

If it’s a gunshot, then why’s there
skin under the fingernails?

Well, just like in a hand-to-hand combat.

Maybe there’s a fight first.

Then he’s knocked out,
and then it’s as Kirill’s said.

Yes, besides. On his clothes, mostly
on his jacket, around his back,

I found these
chemicals there.

Shurik! Maybe you’ll decipher
this Mendeleev’s periodic table?

It’s simple. Gravel, sand,

high-molecular chemical
compounds, namely: asphaltenes,

cyclic hydrocarbons and
a small amount of

saturable components with
a low chemical reactivity.

- Can you explain more easily?
- Asphalt.

Thank you.

Notably, quite a new one. It was laid
no more than two months ago.

So maybe the asphalt could get on his
jacket when the guy fell off his bike.

Yes. Or after he’d been knocked
out by a blow to the head.

On the rope he’s tied with,

I found this chemical compound.
This’s a medicine. Meronem.

- It’s prescribed for cancer patients.
- May I?

Yes. It could have appeared
on the rope even before

the murder was committed. Just like
the asphalt on the jacket.

Yes, it could.
But this version’s also interesting.

- Nastya, are you all right?
- Yes, I’m.

I can see even from here
that he’s not our client.

That’s right. Not ours.

It’s the record regarding the remains
that were found in my father’s grave.

Where did you get this report?
You don’t have an access to the case.

I don’t. Roman Mishin
got a copy.

- What’s in the report?
- Nothing special.

A Golikov, a bandit.
Underling.

He’d nothing to do with the case
my father was handling.

He’s probably killed, dressed in my
dad’s clothes, and planted to his car.

But, Kirill, if this Golikov burned
to death instead of my father,

then maybe my father’s still alive.
Understand?

Okay, since Mishin got the report,

let me see.
It’s still in my wheelhouse.

Sure.

I found out that on the Riga highway,
five kilometers from that place,

where the body was found,

at the beginning of last month,
the road surface was being repaired.

And here’s the reconstruction of
the traces on the asphalt.

Even if our guy fell off the bike,
it’s at zero speed.

So maybe he didn’t share
the road with someone?

I’m sick and tired of those bikers.
They’re always cutting in, being rude.

So, someone stopped him
and hit to the head.

I’ll certainly send a request
to the local police.

Maybe there’s a witness or
traffic video record.

Oksa determined the section of the route
M-9, the police found a motorcycle.

They’re bringing it to us now.
Has Ed shown up?

Yes. He’d be here by now.

Then examine the bike, try to learn as
much as possible about its owner.

As soon as the results
are ready, come directly to me.

Okay.

- Hi.
- Hi.

- Hi.
- You called me, I couldn’t answer.

So, I came in a heartbeat personally.

Why not to see each other
if there’s a reason.

I looked through the report on Golikov.
Looks like we’re at a dead end.

Crickets and tumbleweeds.
Nobody’s looking for the guy.

He’s not engaged in an OCG. Well,
riff-raff. Robbed passers-by in a park.

- Well, thanks for your help anyway.
- You’re welcome. Not at all.

Come on, ask me something.
You’ve a big question on your face.

No questions. I think it’s pretty clear.

Okay, I’ll answer myself.

No, Nastya.

I don’t believe that Volodya’s alive.

If he were alive, he’d have
reminded us of himself.

He’s following the traces,
almost set the wheels in motion.

He’d never give up.

Do you mean the investigation?

Well, firstly, I mean it.
And secondly, you and your sister.

Or, vice versa. Changing the order
doesn’t change the result.

Yes, it doesn’t. But I still want
to find out what happened.

Thank you, Roman.

- Hi.
- Hi. Is there anything about the bike?

Yes, I’ve got something.

The motorcycle belongs to the
police major Andrey Karpov.

Thirty five years.
He disappeared a month ago.

His father died long ago. Mother lives
in Yaroslavl. No siblings.

A policeman, well then.

We should talk to
his colleagues.

What if this murder’s connected
with his professional activity.

Nastya, you must somehow
help Shurik.

You mean the Army, right?

I don’t see anything wrong
about his serving there.

Have you thought about me?

Olya, I’m sorry. I don’t know
what you’re talking about.

Certainly. No way...

You’re fooling around with your doctor,
and you don’t care about my happiness.

- Really?
- And what has Kirill to do with it?

Just don’t pretend
here now!

I did see the way
he looked at you yesterday.

If I hadn’t come, there’s no telling
how it would have ended.

Olya, stop it!
It’s none of your business.

Of course.

I was just hoping you could
help me somehow.

Or at least support me.

Well, who told you
I wouldn’t support you?

I certainly will. Only I don’t really
see anything wrong with that.

It’ll only enhance your feelings.

I don’t want to enhance anything.
Is there any way you can help me?

Olya, how can I help you?
Should I cancel conscription?

Well, others come up with something,
and somehow solve this issue.

But I’m not “others”, Olya.
Olya, Olya, wait.

Good morning, Kirill.
What’ll you say about Karpov?

His tooth was removed. Judging by the
state of the hole, it’s safe to say

that the tooth’d been removed
3-4 hours before his death.

I’d taken all the pictures
before I cleaned the bones.

That is, if we find a dentist,
we’ll be able to determine

the time of his death
accurate to the hour or two?

Yes, Oksa is already working on that.
And also look here. See?

The bullet went from bottom to top.

We can assume that at the
moment of shooting Karpov

leaned and... but I’m
inclined to think...

- That the shooter was short.
- Yes. News from Karpov’s colleagues?

Yes, there is, but very little.

Karpov was a police investigator
and, therefore,

he had quite a lot of enemies.

His friend, an investigator, called him
last time on the 5th day of the month.

after that, the next day, Karpov’s
number was no longer available.

Approximately it coincides with
the time of his death.

Yes. There’s something else.

Karpov was dating
Kristina Streletskaya,

an entomologist, the daughter of the
famous scientist Petr Streletsky.

Have they talked to her?

No, I haven’t. Her father said
she’d been in India for a month.

That means, she doesn’t even
know that her boyfriend’s wanted.

Apparently, she doesn’t.
But, just in case,

I made an appointment with her father.

- Have you found a dentist?
- No, I’m trying to find.

I’ve sent requests to all
dental offices and clinics

near Ruza, where
Karpov lived and worked.

By the way, Shurik found
fingerprints on the motorcycle.

He managed to identify one of them.
The fingerprints belong to Akimov.

Previously, he was convicted of robbery.
He got out of prison six years ago.

During this time, he’s not listed
in criminal databases.

He lives in the same area.

Yup. It’s possible that Akimov went to
prison because of Karpov’s efforts.

- We should check it out.
- Do you think this’s revenge?

Well, why not?
Such cases are not uncommon.

Especially in such small towns,
where everyone knows each other.

Isn’t it late? Akimov’s been free
for six years now.

I’ll go talk to Streletsky.
And I’ll deal with this Akimov later.

Oksa, find his contact info for me.

Okay.

I already answered these questions.
If you like, I’ll tell you again.

I’ve no idea where this
major could have gone.

What were the relations between
Kristina and Andrey?

They planned to get
married this spring.

But my wife and I weren’t
happy with her choice.

Why?

Let’s just say — we didn’t really
like the specifics of his work.

So, you wanted your daughter to
marry somebody more reputable.

- If you like.
- It’s clear.

Where can I find Kristina?

They had a quarrel a month ago.

And she went to India for a few months.
Can I have more water?

Yes, sure.

Did you call Kristina when you heard
that Andrey’s being sought?

No. Why should I?
Look, what’s this? An interrogation?

No, no, this’s not an interrogation. But
you’ve said that you don’t like Karpov.

- Hell...
- Are you nervous?

Not at all.

Maybe Kristina told you
something about Andrey?

Perhaps, Karpov had
some problems?

No. I didn’t talk with
her about it.

She doesn’t inform us about her
affairs of the heart.

Are you so nervous
because Karpov’s missing?

Or are there any other reasons?

What reasons? I don’t know
what you’re talking about.

- Maybe some more water?
- Thank you.

I really want to talk to
your daughter.

I’ve told you. I’ll tell her.
It’s a one-way communication.

Okay. Then I want to talk
to her friends.

- I don’t know anyone.
- Are you sure?

Katya.
Her school friend.

- Can I talk to your wife?
- She’s not feeling well.

- She’s having a hard time.
- What makes it so hard for her?

She’s a sick woman.
Thanks for water.

Karpov’s killed.

His body’s found
not far from your dacha cottage.

Have a seat.

How was he killed?

Shot in the head. Now give me
this Katya’s address and phone number.

Yes, yes, sure. I understand.

Katya Sorokina...
I understand all that...

If you could do that for me…

Please, don’t disturb my spouse
unnecessarily.

She’s really very sick.
Can I go?

Yes, sure. Just
don’t leave the city.

Do you think he’s involved in the murder?

I don’t know. But he’s very nervous.

Yeah, yeah, and he didn’t hide it.

He’s not scared of Karpov’s murder.
He’s surprised that he’s killed.

He didn’t know about that. We
should probably talk to his wife.

Yes. But first we need to
talk to Kristina’s friend.

And try to understand
what’s going on in this family.

Well.
What about the dentist?

We’ve the address of a clinic.

The major had his teeth treated there
for the last time, on June 5th, 17:30.

Removal of his fifth upper molar.

Well, so he was murdered about
eight o’clock in the evening.

Open the map, please.

From the clinic to the place where
the bike was found, it’s 40 km.

It takes not more than 30 minutes
by motorbike. He rode into somewhere.

By the way, I have information
regarding Akimov.

It wasn’t Karpov who jailed him. In
fact, the case’s in Moscow, not in Ruza.

And I also found out that Karpov

used to repair his bike in the
workshop where Akimov worked.

I’ve talked to him on
the phone, he said

that Karpov’s their regular customer.

And he rode his bike there for
the last time in early June.

- He doesn’t remember the exact date.
- Well, so Akimov couldn’t do that.

It’s still early to reject
the motive of revenge.

We need to gather information
about all released

prisoners who were
detained by Karpov…

And to find out where they were in
the time period we’re interested in.

It’s all kind of weird with the
fingerprints of Akimov.

It’s not about them.
It’s about where I found them.

They’re on the frame, engine,
they’re even on the pedal.

It’s understandable. But they’re on the
both sides of handlebars. How’s that?

What’s wrong? He repaired it
and made a test drive.

But then Andrey rode
the bike himself.

And Akimov’s fingerprints aren’t
smudged. Andrew’s wearing gloves.

The adhesion is loose.
It’s all okay.

But still, it’s weird. Unless,
of course, Akimov’s

riding the motorcycle not
for a long time after the repair.

Here’s the deal. Contact the
car service and clarify the date.

And I’ll go to Nastya.

Kristina’s friend must come there.
That’s all.

All right.

No response.

Darn! Had a quarrel with my sister.
She’s not answering her phone now.

She asked me to get Shurik
deferred from army service.

- And did you refuse her?
- Yes, I did.

Because I think it’d be better
for their relationship.

Nastya, maybe, you shouldn’t
speak so boldly. Shurik’s a good guy.

In addition, the Army can put an
end to his interest in science.

And we can lose such a
valuable member of the team.

- Yes.
- Hello. I’m Katya.

Hello, Katya.
Come on in, sit down.

- Come on in.
- Thank you.

Thank you for
coming to us.

Tell me, when was the last time
you spoke to Kristina?

About a month ago.

Since that time, her cell phone’s
been switched off.

But Kristina’s father said she’d
been in India, in the Himalayas.

I know what he said.
What do you know?

Krista’s my best friend. I don’t know
why she didn’t tell me about India.

Tell, what’s the reason Andrey
and Kristina quarreled?

Quarreled? I’ve never heard of it.
They had a great relationship.

A cool guy. He’s very handsome,
so calm.

And he’s not a fool.

I was jealous of Kristina, to be honest.

It means, no quarrels,
no disagreements?

Try to remember
at least something.

Now any little detail
can help us.

Before Andrey, Kristina was
dating with Anton...

Apparently, his name is Smolin.

He’s the director of a
construction company.

At first, their relations
seemed to be normal.

And then, as they say,
he showed his true colors.

A selfish person, if I ever saw one!

Did he threaten her
after they’d broken up?

I’d say he was
intrusive, abusive...

It means, an aggressive guy, huh?

Well... Actually, yes.
And besides, he’s a binge drinker.

He’s a former athlete,
I guess, judoist.

And how can we find him?

- Are you Anton Smolin?
- And who’s asking me?

Anastasia Zorina,
Investigative Committee.

I’d like to talk to you
about Kristina Streletskaya.

And you look prettier in the photo.

Come on, girls, let’s drink to
the killed love!

So, you killed your love, huh?

Look, man, we can’t have
a nice conversation! Push off!

Girls, could you leave us
for a few minutes?

Didn’t you hear me?
I won’t repeat it.

When was the last time
you saw Andrey Karpov?

With whom? Ah!..

With that Kristina’s cop?
And what?

Answer my questions.

Listen, girl. I don’t care about
your badge, got that?

I’ve told you,
we can’t have a conversation.

Can you be more polite?

- Are you so strong, huh?
- Also a cop, huh?

Kirill, I don’t think we should
talk to him in that condition.

Oh! You can also think!

In our time, it’s unhealthy for
women to think.

- Let’s go dancing.
- Listen, calm down.

Do you want to talk man-to-man?

It’s, it’s okay. That’s all right.

I’m afraid we won’t be able
to talk anymore.

Kirill, call the police.

- Good morning!
- Good morning!

You’re early today, Ed.

- I’m compiling data.
- Nastya, I’ve just recollected.

Remember you told me that when
you’re sorting your father’s papers

you found letters from his girlfriend
he’d been dating before your mother.

Yes, Vera Nechaeva.

A teacher somewhere on the Kola
Peninsula, beyond the Arctic Circle.

- Why are you asking?
- Well, just thoughts.

Let’s assume your father’s alive.

We know he’s fighting
with some powerful forces.

They’re seriously threatening him.

Of course, he wasn’t afraid
of anything.

But he had an Achilles’ heel,
you and your sister.

What if he faked his own death?

If it’s an attempt to lay low for
a while? One needs a safe place.

A loyal friend whom
nobody knows about.

I don’t know. I’s trying to find
Vera. I wrote her a letter.

But the letter was returned to
me with a note “Addressee left”.

What if we ask Roman
Mishin to help us?

He’s a private detective.
And he specializes in tracing.

There’s a DNA match.

The skin under the victim’s
fingernails belongs to Anton Smolin.

- Anton.
- Yes. I had a fight with the major.

Then he got on his bike and
he and Kristina left.

- When was that?
- About a month ago.

Can you be more specific?
This’s very important.

The 5th day of the month.
It was in the evening.

Wait, what actually
happened?

Karpov’s killed. A shot in the head.
Not far from the Streletskys’ dacha.

Are you sure the fight
was exactly on the 5th?

What, do you think I killed him?

To be honest, I had the idea.
But I don’t think so now.

And why don’t you think so?
The place and time — it all fits.

Yes, it does. But the real killer

wouldn’t mention the exact date or
the exact location of the murder.

Yes.

- Where did Kristina and Andrey go?
- Well, they scarcely went for a walk.

Because Kristina said
something like that

like “They won’t see me soon”.

Anyway, I didn’t ask.

I wanted to put Kristina in
the car and take her away.

And there this major flew up,
and here we went.

And then?

Then I’s laying, catching my breath.

There’s a pub near the highway.
And I went there.

Kirill Andreevich!
Can you come?

- Here, look.
- A nail?

- Yep.
- Why did you find it just now?

A fragment. Because there’s dirt
on the jacket, I examined it.

And under it there’s the nail. There’s
a chip of lacquer. Probably female.

But I can’t assert that
without the DNA test.

- Was it you who lost the nail?
- Jester.

Kirill, I was invited to a scientific
symposium in St. Petersburg.

- Do you want to come with me?
- Me? What for?

A scientific symposium…

Scientists. You’ll be able to tell
about your latest developments there.

You need this. I care about you.

It’s tempting, tempting.
Well, I’ll think.

You know, just don’t delay
the accreditation.

Because there’s a limited
number of seats. I’ll be waiting.

- Yes, besides, we’ve new evidence.
- And a new perspective.

Okay. The nail that pierced
Karpov’s jacket.

Maybe it’s Smolinsky.
They fought that day.

Yes. And interestingly, does Smolin
use a raspberry nail polish?

I don’t think so. Then maybe
it’s Kristina’s?

She’s riding the motorcycle with him.
She’s holding onto his jacket.

And anyway, we need to find out
about this trip. Oksa,

could you call to Kristina’s office
and find out when she left?

Because, according to Katya,
she wasn’t going to India.

By the way, I’ve contacted
the manager of the motor dealership.

He told me that Akimov’d not
come to work today.

And they can’t get through to him.

Perhaps, he’s hiding from us.

And also a creep in a blue Opel was
looking for Akimov this morning.

And the manager picked up
the contracts and it turned out that

And Karpov drove the motorcycle to the
workshop on the 5th in the morning.

He'd some problems
with the electrics there.

- When did he take it back?
- The same day, after the lunch.

Go to Akimov.
Arthur is waiting for you.

Stop, stop, stop, stop...

It’s been raining recently.
The footprints are fresh.

Two different people.
One went there and came back.

The second went only there.

Alive.

Stab wounds to the abdomen.
Call the ambulance.

Wow! He cooked food for himself too.
And everything’s so neat.

Ambulance, 30 Kalinina St.,
a stab wound to the abdomen.

Thanks. We’re waiting.

Looks like he’s going somewhere.

Fresh fingerprints’re left
only by Akimov.

- So, you say you live here?
- Here, where else?

Tell me, didn’t you see anything?

No, I saw nothing.
What happened to him?

- I saw them dragging the stretchers.
- Dysentery. Are you sure?..

- I saw that.
- OK.

The car left about two o’clock.
A foreign-made car.

Who was in the car, didn’t you see?

No, I didn’t see that.

I looked out the window,
the car’s driving off. A blue one.

Did Akimov live alone?

He lived with his mother. And
she’d already moved away.

A week ago, perhaps.
To their relatives, I think.

Well, thanks.

Thank you as well.
Contact us if you have anything.

Don’t forget the mats!

In sum, the first trace’s made by
Akimov. He went only in one direction.

And the second one’s made by
somebody’s foot, size forty-three.

I think that the weight’s
approximately 90 kg.

The height’s 180–185 cm.

I see. Excellent work.

Only every fifth man fits
such characteristics.

Yes, but not every fifth man’s lame.

And our man’s definitely lame.
We need to send the APB to Oksa.

I’m sure she’ll help us somehow.

- So, what’s the news?
- I’ve got through the entomologists.

In sum, Kristina resigned from
the department two months ago.

And nobody’s heard anything
about the expedition to India.

And she haven’t crossed the border
of the Russian Federation.

So, it turns out that
Petr Alekseevich’s lied to us…

Yes. And one thing more.

I’ve compiled a list of
recently released convicts,

who were arrested by Karpov.

And among them, Viktor Ovechkin
fits the general description.

He got out of prison three months ago.

And five years ago, he was arrested
for burglary.

And during the very same arrest,
Karpov shot him in the knee.

Maybe the guys found his
prints at Akimov’s. And more.

Ovechkin owns a blue Opel.

Send me his address. I think
we’d go to that Ovechkin.

And then we’ll have a serious
talk with Streletsky.

Hello, Anastasia Zorina,
Investigative Committee.

- Does Viktor Ovechkin live here?
- Here. But he’s not at home.

- He’s left. On business.
- And who are you to him?

Mother-in-law.

In general, I take care of
my daughter here.

- What’s wrong with her?
- She’s sick. Cancer.

- She doesn’t have long to live...
- May I come in?

Come in. You may keep your shoes on.

I didn’t expect guests.

When Vitya’s released, he’s
taking care of her day and night.

On the 5th and 6th he didn’t
leave her for a minute.

- Why isn’t he here today?
- He’s left.

To a friend.
He promised him to lend money.

For medicines.
He called me, upset.

He didn’t find him at home.
He’s not answering his phone.

Probably, he changed his mind.

- And where is he now?
- He went to a friend again.

Also in order to borrow money .

- Do you know the names of these friends?
- No, I don’t know.

And why do you need Victor?

We want to talk. Is there a way
you can contact him?

Sure.

- Here.
- Thank you.

I’m sorry, I have to give my
daughter an injection.

Allow me to come with you.
I want to see the drugs.

- Don’t worry. I’m a doctor.
- Well, come on.

Viktor, Hello.

Junior counselor of justice,
Anastasia Zorina.

Can I talk to you?
Where are you right now?

When will you return?

No, no, don’t worry.

I want to ask you a few
questions about your friend...

All right. That’s settled.
Thanks. So long.

Thank you.

Can I use your bathroom?

- No problem.
- Thank you.

Do you always do all the procedures
and make injections yourself?

Always. Life, dear,
can teach you anything.

- Your call won’t scare Ovechkin off?
- I don’t think so.

Bobrova’ll tell him about
our visit anyway.

I told her nothing about
Akimov and Karpov.

The task force’s already in the place.
As soon as he shows up, he’s ours.

I’ve put out a BOLO on his car.
But there’s many blue Opel cars.

You need only change the number.
Kirill, have you noticed?

There’s a photograph on the dresser.
There’s a man of about forty in it.

And Bobrova obviously didn’t
want us to see her.

What do you have?

And I have... in the daughter’s room,
among other drugs.

I noticed Meronem medicine, we found
its traces on the rope.

But this’s not enough.

We don’t yet know exactly whether
Ovechkin’s at his home or not.

And the footprints in the yard —
that’s insufficient evidence.

You change your shoes, you’re clean.
There’re a lot of lame people in Ruza.

In fact, in Karpov’s case we’ve only
a motive to accuse Ovechkin.

Yes. The motive is shaky evidence.

To execute a policeman
just because he arrested you

it’s like burning down the
prison you were in.

I don’t argue. Let’s hope that
Akimov’ll survive

and clarify something
for us in this case.

Yes. And I also found
a nail in Bobrov’s bathroom.

Let’s compare the DNA.
Maybe it’s similar to the nail

which Ed found in Karpov’s jacket.

Ah! I hope sooner or later

I’ll start to understand your
meaningful winks.

-Yes, Oksa.
- Hello, Nastya.

Kristina Streletskaya’s mother’s
come here. She wants to talk to you.

Is Arkady there?

Ask him to talk to her.
Yup. Thanks.

Kristina’s not in India.

On the 5th of June, she came
to the dacha cottage and told us

that Karpov and she’d applied for a
marriage certificate.

Her father flew into a rage.

He wanted to talk some sense into her.
But she didn’t even listen to him.

She said she didn’t need our consent,
and she’s moving in to Andrey’s.

She packed her bags and left.

Two weeks later
an unknown called us...

- Demanded a ransom for our daughter.
- Why didn’t you go to the police?

We had little time to talk to
Kristina, just a few seconds.

This man said if
we made a fuss,

this’d be our last conversation...

- Did you agree to his terms?
- Yes, we did.

And then, two days later,
Petr gave them the money,

but they didn’t release our daughter.

What a compound construction.

It’s hard to believe that
the major’s murder,

Kristina’s abduction and attempted
assassination of Akimov —

all this’s perpetrated by
the same criminals.

And what if their goal
was only Karpov?

Kristina could have gotten
there by accident.

And she could have made the decision
to go with Andrew spontaneously too,

after the argument with her parents.

Well, sure. The idea of ransom could
have come later. Karpov’s dead.

What to do with the witness?
A girl from a wealthy family.

Maybe it’s she who gave the idea
that her dad would pay for her.

Look, what if she’s still alive?

Maybe they’re hiding
her somewhere?

Andrey’s killed long ago.

They got the ransom for Kristina.
They didn’t return the hostage.

Why on earth would she be alive?

And if Akimov’s involved,
then why did they try to kill him?

I don’t know. Maybe they’re
afraid he’d rat them out.

Shurik, deal with these jars
and get Kristina’s DNA sample.

Finally we need to figure out
whose nail’s stuck in Karpov’s jacket.

And so, six years ago, there’s a
gang of robbers in the town.

Karpov’s dealing with it. He then
eliminated almost the entire gang.

I’ve them all here. Fine fellows...

Here, have a look at them.

However, the head still managed
to escape and lay low.

- What’s the surname?
- Kotelnikov. Boris Kotelnikov.

Last year, Karpov after all
closed in on him.

And, it just so happened, he
shot him during the detention.

And I’ve seen this photo.
In Bobrova’s house.

Now, can’t you be wrong?

No, it’s definitely that photo.

Now we need to find out how
he’s connected to Bobrova.

And why didn’t she want us
to see that picture?

And is Akimov from
the same group of friends?

Nastya, the town is very little.

It’s all one big company.

May I? Can I take it?

- Can I go?
- Yes, Nastya.

Thank you.

Well, why did you call me?

We have two pieces of news
about the case.

One’s good, another’s even
better. Which one to start with?

With the good one.

On the cutlery from a basket
that’s found in Akimov’s house,

I’ve found a substance with a
high concentration of sodium chlorine.

I assumed it’s tears and
extracted the DNA.

The exact match to the sample taken
from Kristina Streletskaya’s toothbrush.

Maybe our girl’s alive.
Well, my news’s just good.

Shurik, it’s your cue.

Shurik, what’s this?

This’s the can that we found in the
food basket at Akimov’s.

And so. Attention!

Near Akimov’s house,
there’s a chicken coop,

which we didn’t
examine well enough.

- We should check it.
- The boys, of course, did a good job.

But I have some news too.

The gang leader, Boris Kotelnikov,

who was killed by Karpov
during the detention a year ago,

he’s Bobrov’s son from
his first marriage.

Thank you...

A woman stopped us
on the highway.

She’s standing near a blue car
with the hood open.

Andrey went to help her.
Then two more people appeared.

And one of them hit Andrey,
and he fell.

Do you remember their faces?

Yes, I remember. Especially,
the one who’s feeding me.

He used to come all the time
and look at me kind of..

I think he felt very sorry for me.

And one day he came and said

“Your father gave the money.
They don’t need you anymore”.

I closed my eyes and
then he went away.

I even thought they’d let me go.

Then... he didn’t come yesterday.

Or it’s the day before yesterday,
I don’t remember...

It doesn’t matter anymore.

Here the most important word’s “was”.
Not anymore.

- My girl!
- Mommy.

Lord...

Yes, Ed. What?

Yes, I see. Good. Thanks…

Here’s the DNA analysis of the nail from
the jacket and hairs from Ovechkina’s flat.

We got a match.

And it belongs to a woman,

whose age’s
between 55 and 70.

Bobrova. I understand now,

why they came up with this
story about looking for money?

They didn’t know where
Akimov’s keeping Kristina.

They needed time to find and
get rid of the only witness.

And in the blue Opel passing
the house, there’s Ovechkin.

- Will you detain Bobrova?
- One second.

Yes.

I’m coming! Artur, let’s go!

They noticed Ovechkin
near his house.

During the detention
Ovechkin resisted

and he’s shot by
a police investigator.

Do you despise me?!
We have that in common.

I despised him too...
He took my boy from me!

But I don’t repent of anything!
Do you hear that?! Anything!

I did everything right.
That’s right!

Forgive me, my boy, forgive me!
For not saving you.

Meronem.

Good evening.

So what? Bobrova keeps silence.

But I’ve talked to Akimov.
He’s regained consciousness.

Akimov claims
that Bobrova hired him

in order to track Karpov’s movements.

And afterwards he’s looking
after Kristina.

So, and what happened on the road?

He says he wasn’t involved in the
murder and he didn’t even see who shot.

And Bobrova had a bone to pick
with the major.

Why did Ovechkin try to kill Akimov?

Because when Kristina’s parents
handed over the money,

Bobrova ordered Akimov
to get rid of the girl.

And he didn’t want to take
responsibility for the wet work…

And he got scared and
decided to skip the town.

When Bobrova suspected that
the hostage was alive,

she sent Ovechkin...

You know everything.
I don’t even have anything to add.

One of the basic laws of dialectics —
the transition of quantity to quality.

We’re collecting facts
bit by bit, one by one.

And sooner or later, there’ll be
such a quantity of them

which’ll allow us to know
everything we want.

I think Ovechkin walked in
on Akimov,

just in the moment when he’s
packing his belongings.

Well, to get out.

That's right. Again.
I don’t even have anything to add.

There’s only the mystery of
who’s shooting Karpov.

Oksa, you said the bullet
was flying at an angle.

I mean,
from bottom to top.

Even if we assume that Karpov bent
down at the moment of the shot but...

But you tend to prefer the version
that the killer was short in height.

Bobrova. Why is she so cruel?

You see, technically, the gang
was run by her son.

Boris Kotelnikov. But, according to
Akimov, Bobrova’s the boss there.

And she worshipped her son.

Yes, all’s well that ends well.

Akimov took pity on Kristina.
We managed to save her.

And now

we can rest with a
sense of fulfillment.

That’s all.
