PSYCHICS

Parents of Lyuba Ostrovskaya are sitting next to me.

Anna Antonovna and Sergey Vitalyevich.

Tell me please, what really happened to your daughter?

Police said that it’s her own fault.

I think everybody’s insane there.

She got hit by an oligarch’s son car. So the killer is not guilty.

And she jumped under his car on her own.

Don’t worry, we’re on your side.

Here’s Illarion,

a psychologist, psychic and a healer.

All the energy is in my blood.

This drink will heal your grief. Drink it, don’t be afraid.

It’s too much for us.

What do you want from me then?

We’ve been told that you can speak with the dead.

Ask our daughter. If she confirms

that it was an accident, then…

We… You know.

Fine…

Road… a car…

It’s dark.

Anna did you visit a doctor?

Your daughter told me.

You were on her grave yesterday, you tripped and fell.

I have no time for a doctor visit, my daughter.

I bought an ointment.

What else has she told you?

Your daughter was murdered.

Police must continue the investigation.

Here’s that TV-show.

It was aired during weekend on a federal channel in prime time.

- Tens of millions of viewers. - Is he really a psychic?

Nastya! He doesn’t even have an institute degree.

We’ve checked that. Well, who cares.

He’s very convincing with that knife.

- The knife made me believe him. - Okay, let’s talk seriously.

I want you to perform a full check.

About Lyuba Ostrovskaya’s case.

Based on what? On psychic’s visions?

Journalists blame us in negligence.

They’re defending Ostrovskys.

Here, look. Read,

how they’re smashing us.

What a great car to chase criminals.

Are you a criminal?

I’m not. I just want you to leave me alone.

What else do you want from me?

Who are you?

Me? I’m Vanya. Vanya Ionchev.

He hit Lyuba Ostrovskaya.

Yes, I did, so what? It was not on purpose.

I’ve told it million of times, that I didn’t see her.

It was dark. She jumped out into… I didn’t have time to react at all.

- Were you driving that car? - Yes.

- Can we examine it? - It was already examined.

Keys.

It was right here.

I wouldn’t go anywhere at night here if I was her.

Dude, not everyone has money for taxi.

Right.

I know Ionichev. He was studying in MSU too.

My classmate used to date him.

- So what’s he like? - How do I say?

- I wouldn’t date him - Why?

Our guy was coming from there. Lyuba Ostrovskaya came out from here.

And here they…

No crosswalk,

no speed bump, nothing…

And road accident report is fine. Can’t get a grip on anything.

If it’s not a fake one.

I’d like to arrest that son of an oligarch.

But in this case, speeding over the limit is not enough.

It looks like she really jumped under his car on her own.

Maybe we can find something in his car?

We’ve found everything already. But we need to check once more.

Let Vanechka walk for some time. It’s good for his health.

- Ostrovskaya’s autopsy is finished. - What do you have?

Typical traumas for a car hit. That’s it.

What does the blood test show?

Alcohol – 0,7 ppm. No more than two glasses of wine.

- Yes. What about drugs? - She’s clean.

I just can’t understand. Why did she run out on the road?

Let Ed check everything once more.

There are drugs that cause hallucinations and even drive you insane.

- I want him to acquit me in court. - What do you mean?

- How much money? - Nothing. He doesn’t take money.

But you can reward him later if you want. But…

He’ll tell the truth anyway.

PSYCHICS

Ivan, we’re really glad to have you.

And we hope that you will tell the truth.

I promise to tell only the truth.

First of all, my sincerest apologies

to the parents of Lyuba Ostrovskaya.

I’m really-really sorry.

Meet Illarion, a psychologist, healer and a psychic.

Why are you here?

Help me to defend myself. I really couldn’t do anything.

Lyuba Ostrovskaya jumped under my car on her own.

What about you?

This is not needed. I don’t see grief in you.

Can you help me?

This is a simple incident. You had a choice on the road back then.

It was either you or her.

You chose yourself.

Anyone on my place would act the same way.

I don’t know that. I saw that you could’ve saved her.

Why did you call us?

It’s clear that Ionichev is the killer.

You know, I watch TV from time to time too.

But I’m used to follow the facts at my work.

And unfortunately we don’t have any.

Tell me, how could that happen

that your daughter was at night out on that road?

How can I explain…

She was an independent girl

It was no use controlling her.

She didn’t listen. That’s it.

Usually she got home on a bus or somebody gave her a ride.

She walked often. And nothing happened.

- Do you know who was she dating? - Pasha Semenov.

It’s her classmate.

She took him home. We met him.

- But they broke up. - How long ago?

About two months ago.

Was there anyone after him?

I think nobody. She didn’t tell us.

Did she have any friends that she shared her problems with?

She didn’t have any girls as friends.

Her only friend was Tima.

Timofei Ryzhkov. Her cousin.

Oxa!

What do you see? Look.

Woman’s cape.

Yes. That’s Lyuba Ostrovskaya’s cape.

Right sleeve is practically torn off. But there’s something else.

What is that?

Some strange stain. Looks like face powder.

Powder on a sleeve?

- Treat yourself, Timofei. - Thanks.

Lyuba’s parents say that you were her best friend.

Yes.

Did you see her that day when she got hit by a car?

No.

Do you know if she had anything planned for that evening?

No. After institute she went home. She was preparing for exams.

Was she dating anyone?

- Yes. Your coffee sucks. - Really?

I’m a barista. I have a mochaccino recipe with cinnamon and anise.

If you have time, come by – I’ll make you some coffee.

Thanks. But you didn’t answer my question.

- Was Lyuba dating anyone? - I think she wasn’t.

She didn’t like anyone at that time?

No, there were some guys.

But she was dating Pasha Semenov. He’s thin but strong.

He was very jealous. That’s why Lyuba left.

- Did they get back together? - Lyuba didn’t want.

Well, I don’t have any more questions.

Call me if you need me. And come for a cup of coffee.

- Oh yeah. Anise mochaccino with cinnamon. - With cinnamon.

- Goodbye. - Bye.

I’ve found Semenov’s social networks profile.

He’s a nightclub lover. And he has a cool car.

- Where did he get the money? - He’s an ex boxer.

- He works as a guard. - But he’s still a student.

I bet he gets paid much less than everybody else.

His profile has a lot of threats. He borrowed money from a lot of people.

- Young man! - Hello.

- Hello. How did you get there? - There’s no one on the watch.

- Can I have my keys? - You can.

- Here. - Found anything?

The investigation is not over yet.

- Can you find an exit? - I’ll handle.

Goodbye.

What are you doing here?

We’ve found out that Lyuba’s cape was torn.

We assumed that it probably happened because of the car hit.

So what?

It doesn’t tear like that in a car crash. Tests show that.

But she could tear it by accident in subway.

Yeah. Or she was attacked.

Anyway, only clues for now.

- What do you have? - I have straight facts.

I’ve just finished with Ostrovskaya’s test results.

No drugs were found in her blood.

But I’ve found something else. She had AIDS.

I was at home the whole night and evening.

Who can confirm that?

No. Mom and dad were in the village.

- What’s your second name? - Sergeevich.

So you are Pavel Sergeevich Semenov.

Why do you need that? Lyuba was killed by a car.

Lyuba had her cape torn.

Probably somebody attacked her before she got hit by a car.

- Do you think that I attacked her? - I don’t know. You tell me.

Why would I attack her?

Lyuba Ostrovskaya could’ve infected you. She had AIDS.

Lyuba had AIDS? Is that a joke?

No.

The virus in her organism is very young.

- Did they break up a couple of months ago? - Yes.

She would’ve been healthy to this moment.

Yes. If she really did infect him,

then he had a very serious motive.

Although he says he’s innocent.

Something’s wrong with him. He was very nervous at the interrogation.

- Do you have it all written down? - Yes.

Good job man. It’s nice to have business with you.

- Can’t see that very often! - Kirill, I thought everybody is gone.

- I decided to do it myself. - Really?

You could’ve asked somebody. Muhin for example.

It’s not a woman’s job.

I’m used to rely only on myself.

Even in such manly stuff.

Something went wrong it seems.

I’ll check the fuse.

Kirill!

Kirill!

Is everything okay?

What’s wrong?

Sometime presence of a man is just necessary.

I don’t understand. What are you doing here?

- I’m here for Fedya’s stuff. - What?

Kirill, Fedya needs these things. He’s missing them.

Stop. That wasn’t the deal.

I won’t give you my son’s stuff. You got that?

Why are you mad? This is not yours.

I said – Fedya’s things will stay here.

I sure can buy him new things.

- But I wanted to end it nicely. - Nicely?

That’s why you don’t allow me to see my son?

And you wanted to take his things in secret?

You need to understand that I’ll fight for my son.

We can’t do it in a nice way. You want to go to court? Okay.

I’ll get custody of Fedya. You got that?

Hello Kirill.

Lev, please take these things. Take them in the car.

I’ll take the rest.

Goodbye.

You shouldn’t have done it, Kirill.

Well. War means war.

- Yes. - Nastya.

Here.

- For me? - Yes. Where shall I put it?

- Here. - Here you go.

Thanks. I’m so busy today.

I need to tell you something.

Check the news on the internet.

Just a second.

Do you see that? Semenov’s interview somehow gotten into press.

So everybody knows now that Ostrovskaya had AIDS.

That’s why Semenov was so nervous.

There are also Ionichev’s commentary.

That Ostrovskaya jumped under his car on purpose,

she couldn’t bear living with such diagnosis.

What a smart guy! We should’ve given him his car back.

Yes.

Hello. Are you detective Anastasia Zorina?

Yes it’s me.

I’m Tanya Kruglova. Lyuba’s classmate.

I’ve found out that she had AIDS and I need to talk to you.

Sure, come in, take a sit.

- Water? - Yes please.

I thought that I was the only one, but it appears that I’m not.

What are you talking about?

I was infected at a party at the nightclub.

I was pinched by a needle. Then I found

a note,

that said that I have AIDS.

Congratulations, you have AIDS.

Was Lyuba infected too?

Probably.

Excuse me, Tanya.

Can you tell me more details about Lyuba Ostrovskaya?

Maybe she had a fight with somebody? Or something else?

You need to talk to our class president.

Katya Lapina.

She knows everything about everyone.

AIDS virus has several strains.

Some you can often see in Russia,

some less often and some are not present at all.

What next?

Ostrovskaya had that strain virus

that is very common in Western Africa.

But there were no infections in Russia at all.

Tanya Kruglova has that same rare strain that Ostrovskaya had.

Oh my! I’ve checked videotapes

from surveillance cameras at the club where Kruglova was infected that night.

Ostrovskaya wasn’t there.

So she was infected somewhere else.

Do you think it’s a coincidence that specifically they were chosen?

Greetings.

I did some research and found out

that your wife hired Mihail Oreshin.

He’s a professional divorce attorney.

He’s the best in town.

Division of property, custody.

His clients always get the best deal.

What do you mean always?

Misha doesn’t ever play by the rules.

If he has nothing on you, he’ll fabricate evidence to set you up.

And you won’t prove anything in court.

Here’s another free advice.

Don’t let women near you.

Not even grannies. No closer than a kilometer.

Aren’t you exaggerating?

Your friendship with women

Oreshin will interpret as immoral behavior.

And Alla will get full custody of Fedya.

Well, Alla herself is...

Oreshin will interpret her relationship as stable.

And after divorce

Alla will get married to Lev.

You can be sure about that.

Hello! I’m Katya Lapina.

Hello. I’ve been waiting for you. Come in.

Why do you need me here?

Tanya Kruglova gave us an advice to meet you.

She’s on study leave now, you’re instead of her.

- That’s correct. - Take a sit.

Do you know her well?

- Kruglova? - Yes.

Not very. I’ve been trying to keep myself away from her.

She’s too active of a person.

There were class presidents that

would report to the dean’s office if something happened.

But sometimes they do not. Circumstances can be different.

You need to figure things out first.

Sure. What about Tanya Kruglova?

Tanya Kruglova didn’t care.

She used to rat out and report on people, living a happy life.

We had Vasya Mesheryakova, a very nice girl.

We were friends. Kruglova reported her.

She found out that Vasya was selling pills at the dorm.

Mesheryakova was expelled right away.

What pills?

Some psychostimulant drugs.

And you can’t sell those without a prescription.

- It’s a necessary thing during exams. - Where did she get them?

Pasha Semenov, he was a guard at the drug warehouse.

He used to get them there.

Did he sell them too?

No. Why would he do that?

It’s an unnecessary risk. And you can see what happened to Vasya.

Why didn’t she tell anyone about Semenov?

Love is evil.

That’s true.

Was he dating Lyuba Ostrovskaya?

No.

So he was dating Mesheryakova.

Yes. They had been together since the first year.

And when Mesheryakova got expelled,

he switched to Ostrovskaya.

He thought that she’d help him with selling drugs too.

When Ostrovskaya had found out, she left him right away.

- He deserved it. - Oh God.

- Some Santa Barbara you have here. - Yes, you don’t say.

- Oxa. - Yes?

Check the surveillance camera recordings

from that night at the club when Kruglova was infected.

What should I look for?

Look for Vasilisa Mesheryakova. She had a motive for revenge on Kruglova.

We’ll go to talk to her with Kirill now.

Tell Ed please

that he should call me as soon as test results are ready.

Fine.

Would you hire Denis during a divorce?

I don’t know. They say he’s a professional.

I need to ask his clients about that.

But you know him well.

That’s why I can’t answer your question properly.

- Yes Ed, I’m listening. - What’s up?

Semenov’s tests.

Thanks.

Negative. Semenov doesn’t have AIDS.

Why haven’t you talked to Vasilisa Mesheryakova?

She’s sick. She has fever.

Sit.

I don’t know who could’ve attacked Lyuba Ostrovskaya.

Why do you think I know something?

What are you looking at?

Is everything okay?

Vasilisa, do you have AIDS?

How have you found out? By birthmarks on her neck?

Those are not birthmarks. It’s Kaposi’s Sarcoma.

- Kaposi’s Sarcoma? - Yes.

You can see it most often on AIDS patients.

Listen…

Tell me…

Again you with that cape?

No, it’s not that.

No, it’s personal stuff.

Really. Well?

I’ve done something really awful.

- You? - Yes.

I’ve let down Kirill.

- Have you been drinking? - No.

Shurik!

A bit. For bravery.

If Zorina sees you like that…

Like what? Do you think I can’t work or something?

Here she is!

That’s right, it’s her.

I’d never do that. It’s Ionichev. He made me do that.

Fine. We’ll talk about that later.

Better tell me

how did that happen that both of your ex-girlfriends have AIDS?

What? You told me about Lyuba only.

There’s also Vasilisa Mesheryakova.

It’s all clear about her.

She had gotten on a way of self destruction after she was expelled.

Started smoking weed and drinking. And also the needle.

Why do you think so?

She attacked me once with a needle. Wanted to get me hooked on drugs.

- I barely fought her off. - Was it because you dumped her?

Sure. She hated Lyuba too.

She tried to threaten me.

Where did you meet Vasilyeva?

She invited me to her place.

I thought she wanted to make peace.

She’s insane.

Put the pencil back.

Do you recognize any of the girls on these photos?

Her.

We went to a rock concert with Lyuba. She was there.

It’s Vasilisa Mesheryakoa.

She almost had a fight with Lyuba that evening.

Some girly stuff as I understood.

Did you notice anything in Vasilisa’s hands during the fight?

Hard to say. It was crowded. And Lyuba’s bag was stolen that evening.

- Do you think it was Mesheryakova? - Could be possible.

I went for a blood test to get my medical file registered.

I wanted to be a waitress. That’s how I know.

How did you get infected?

I didn’t even think it could be Semenov.

He gets checked on AIDS, syphilis, hepatitis once every half a year.

His mom is a doctor, she taught him that.

I think I got infected at the hospital.

- Why do you think so? - There was no other place for that.

I didn’t visit a dentist. I do manicure on my own.

And I was only with Semenov in bed.

I had gotten into a hospital after I got expelled.

I had a perforated ulcer. That building needs a repair.

Everything is dirty, not enough workers.

I’m sure I’ve gotten AIDS there.

Fine. We’ll check.

You had to check that earlier. Now it’s no use.

And I had my revenge already.

And you will have to take responsibility for that.

I will.

They’ve broken my life.

I was expelled because of Kruglova.

Ostrovskaya stole Pasha from me.

If not for them I wouldn’t have gotten into hospital.

- Did you try to infect him too? - He betrayed me.

- Have you infected anyone else? - Is it not enough for you?

I’m tired. Please leave me alone.

What’s that?

It’s a charm. Mom brought it here.

Went to Illarion again. He thinks that this crap will cure me.

- Illarion – the TV wizard? - Yes.

She says that he cured me once.

So he can save me this time too.

How did he save you?

Vasilisa told that the TV star wizard

gave her mother anti-jinx potion. And she made her drink it.

He doesn’t look like a wizard.

He’s looks like that in real life. Without makeup.

Let’s not get distracted.

Let’s continue.

Illarion produces his potions

based on his own blood.

Do you think he has AIDS?

We have no other options for now.

Mesheryakova thinks that she was infected at the hospital.

With a perforated ulcer. We’ve checked that hospital.

Nothing there.

Besides cockroaches. But no AIDS.

Her mother brought that potion to the hospital.

And Vasilisa drank it there.

So everybody who drank that potion could be infected?

Of course not.

You can drink a liter of that blood and nothing will happen.

If you don’t have an open wound inside.

Oxa, where’s Shurik?

He went somewhere. He’s not back yet.

Have you done what I asked you?

Yes. I’ve found out that Illarion’s real name is Georgy Redko.

He went on a trip to Western Africa a year ago.

- Where exactly? - Morocco I think.

And we have an AIDS strain

that is not present in Russia.

And it’s present in Morocco.

So what? Our wizard was in Morocco. Many people go there.

And they come back healthy and tanned.

Yes. But he underwent a surgery there.

On his appendicitis. And insurance company paid for that.

So. We need to get some blood

of that wizard.

I have problems at work. And also my boyfriend…

Yes. And he’s been acting weird lately.

What’s wrong with him?

Do I have to tell you that?

I thought you know it already.

I’m not a psychic.

I see that you don’t want me to help you.

I really want you to help me.

Then be honest with me. I see that you’re unhappy.

- Me? - Yes. You’re unhappy.

Why are you telling me about that boy?

When you really like someone else.

He’s older than you. An experienced one.

He reminds you of your father. Am I right?

- I’ve never thought about it. - That’s not truth.

You try to brush away those feelings diving deep into work.

And you often think about your father.

What are you talking about?

He’s dead.

A violent death.

His killer has not been found yet.

What was his profession? I can’t get that.

Auto mechanic.

Yes. Cars, cars.

- What’s your occupation? - I followed his footsteps.

Fine. I’ll help you.

Can I do this alone? I can pay you extra.

Nice tray.

I bought it in Morocco.

Great country.

That magic potion that he gave me contains blood.

Does he have AIDS?

Yes. The same type as those two girls.

Why did they all believe him? It’s so funny.

I don’t know. Maybe there’s something special about him.

So many people believe him for a reason.

Yes, Shurik.

Sorry for disturbing you Anastasia Vladimirovna but this is urgent.

I’ve found out what was that stain on Lyuba’s cape. Cinnamon and anise.

Timofey Ryzhkov works as barista at a caf?.

And?

Do you remember when he told Rotkin about his special drink?

Coffee with cinnamon and anise.

Well done, Shurik. Thank you. Good job. See you tomorrow.

- What? - We have a new suspect.

Good morning

doc.

Hello.

Hello.

How are you? What about Ryzhkov?

Everything’s fine. As you asked

I’ve completed his psychological profile,

an accurate psychological profile.

We can rely on it in future.

Ryzhkov could only date a person

from his close friends circle.

They probably grew up together and started dating when they grew up.

So he could’ve chosen Lyuba Ostrovskaya?

I wouldn’t be surprised.

He was ready for serious relationship when he chose her.

And he was keeping marriage in mind.

Thanks.

Here’s one important detail.

People of his psychological type are capable of emotional explosions.

If something contradicts their worldview,

they can overreact.

Yes. I ripped her cape.

I’m not denying it. I saw her that day.

You haven’t told me about that before.

What I had to tell you? Well, put me into jail.

Is it because of me Lyuba jumped under a car?

Was she at your work?

Yeah. She came in the evening. I was about to leave.

She felt really bad. She was crying.

I tried to help her and made her my special coffee.

Yes, I understand.

Lyuba was an unfortunate girl. Nobody loved her.

That’s not true. I…

Finish your sentence. You loved her.

Why do you think that?

We’ve found that in your apartment during search.

We were going to get married. It’s not forbidden by the law.

I know the laws.

We were dating for the last couple of months.

But she was treating me like she had someone else.

Did you have any evidence?

No. But I felt that, I knew.

So that’s why you pushed Lyuba under that car?

I didn’t push her. She ran…

Continue. What happened exactly?

She told me that she had AIDS.

I was astonished.

Everything went dark. I think I hit her.

She got scared and ran. I tried to chase her.

And then that car… You know the rest.

It’s understandable in some way. She did infect you after all.

No, you don’t understand.

I went insane for a different reason.

I’ve been loving her since childhood. She was everything to me.

And she cheated on me with random people.

She got infected in a different way. Not by sleeping with men.

How did she get AIDS then?

Vasilisa Mesheryakova stabbed her with infected syringe at concert.

And then she put a note in her bag to warn her.

But the bag was stolen. You told me that yourself.

Lobanov is upset. I understand him very well.

So much effort – and for what? No one to blame.

What is that? A criminal negligence or an accident?

Nastya, what about her parents?

We’ve proven that the death of their daughter was not a suicide.

Do you understand how important is that for them? And the wizard.

We got him and stopped him.

Even if so. I’m glad Ionichev

will be held responsible for disclosure of the investigation.

And what is he facing?

He’s facing a fine. What’s a fine for him!

Procecutor won’t insist on public service. But…

Quiet. Don’t turn around. Somebody is taking pictures of us.

Do you know who’s the cameraman?

I know that my wife’s lawyer hired him.

Can I help?

How can you help?

Denis recommended me to keep away from women for now.

I won’t play by Alla’s rules. Let’s go, let’s go.
