Hi. Can you give me a lift? It's not far...

You'll need to turn off the highway right by this old recreation center.

- I'll be late for a concert. Please. - A concert?

Here? Strange place for a concert.

It's open-air. You know, like a festival.

Hop in then. Don't want you to be late. Come on.

Thanks.

Why are you going to a concert alone? Without friends?

Your parents could take you, by the way.

Take me... They forbid me to listen to such music.

That's why they didn't let me go with my friends.

So I got out and I'm going.

Aren't you afraid to go alone? You never know who you run into...

Why would I be afraid?

I only choose the drivers I trust.

I'm never wrong about people, you know.

Bad road, huh?

It's not just a road. They call it "lateral road".

Sorry, can you pull over? I really need to go.

- Right here? - Uh-huh. Thanks.

Aaa!!! Help!!!

Somebody help!

The body was found five days ago on a country road.

Identity confirmed. Leonid Ignatov.

- Owner of a small private bank. - They put a lot of effort into it.

Yeah, they made mincemeat out of him.

This is the third dead body found in this area in the last two months.

Here's the autopsy report on the first two bodies.

- Who were the first two victims? - One was a businessman.

The other one was an administration official.

Same pattern.

Yes, we can assume that

all three murders were committed by one killer.

They were all beaten to death and the bodies were left at the crime scenes.

Any leads on the first two murders?

Practically none.

That's why Lobanov asked us to help Anastasia Vladimirovna.

I see you don't have much to do, Ed.

Wow.

So you decided to swamp me with work, am I right?

- Yes. Literally. - Yeah...

How many people were killed?

One, actually.

But they beat him long enough. Hence a lot of blood.

Are these all the samples from the crime scene?

No. Not all. There's also clothes.

But I'll deal with these.

Awful.

Yes. They hit Ignatov about forty times

with different blunt objects. Plus four stab wounds.

Death occurred after a traumatic brain injury. This one.

- So there were several people? - Yes. At least two.

- The attack was sudden. - What makes you think so?

First of all, four stab wounds were inflicted from behind.

Second, this bruise here...

He was knocked senseless first...

And then they finished him off while he was unconscious.

Artur showed me the shots from the scene.

Looks like a sneak attack.

Maybe. Or maybe it went another way.

He was with people he knew. Didn't expect it.

Fine. First we need to understand what he was even doing there.

What brought him to that strange place?

It would be great. OK. Keep going.

OK.

Turns out, Ignatov had a wild criminal past.

He got 3 prison sentences.

Extortion, illegal possession of weapons and so on.

Look, it's all there.

- You think that's why he was murdered? - It's too early to say.

We need to find out whether he continued working with criminals.

And please check the bank statements.

He could have problems with clients or investors.

And the first two victims - are they associated with criminals?

No. Not at all. That's why the murder of Ignatov

doesn't fit here.

Although, we at least have a motive.

But the other two victims - I don't get it at all.

All three bodies were found in the same area.

Maybe they just put the bodies in the same place?

No. They examined the spots where the bodies were found,

the murders were committed at the same spots where we found the bodies.

And they aren't connected?

No. They didn't know each other.

I see. But sometimes people are connected by things

that aren't obvious at first.

For example, they could see the same doctor.

Yes. Of course it's possible. But we'd have to process

an immense amount of data.

So I suggest we focus on Leonid Ignatov.

Kirill, I'm done with Ignatov's clothes.

And?

I found traces of rust and engine oil on his jacket.

Apparently, they got there from the objects he was hit with.

OK. Great. I have something too.

Based on the injuries, I identified one of the murder weapons.

It's a piece of a rusty bar.

And engine oil is probably a car tool.

Some poorly armed killers.

Looks like they beat him with whatever was lying around.

This way a murder weapon is hard to find though.

Can't run ballistics on a piece of a rusty bar.

- That's true. - Fine. Leave the report.

I want to determine the number of the attackers.

Based on their weapons.

OK. Then I'll make another copy for Zorina.

Yeah. OK.

Yes, Denis. Uh-huh.

I'm sorry, but I'm busy right now. I have to finish something.

I hate to bother you

but could you come here? That's great.

Alright. Uh-huh. Bye.

When I got to these samples, I found out that

it wasn't Ignatov's blood, it was someone else's.

Did those traces of blood appear at the same time as Ignatov's?

Yes. They all appeared at the same time.

I see. So during the murder of Ignatov

another person was injured or killed.

Yes. It's either a stab or a gunshot wound.

If Ignatov had fired a gun, there'd be traces of gunpowder on his hand.

Shurik, check this information.

Good afternoon, Denis... I'm sorry.

- It's OK. - I'm not done yet.

Let's get straight to the point.

The date of the trial has already been set.

They will let you know. I came here to tell you this

and to give you time to prepare.

Prepare for what?

You know my position, I'm not going to...

I'm sorry to interrupt you.

But you now have a real chance to negotiate with Alla.

On what? You know her terms, right?

Yes, the terms are the same. She doesn't claim your property

or your apartment. It's all yours.

I don't care about the apartment, she wants to take Fedya away.

I understand. But Granin isn't going to adopt Fedya right now.

You can go to Ireland anytime to see him.

You just have to notify Alla.

She said she wouldn't interfere.

It won't make things much easier. Don't you understand?

I will see Fedya once a year at best.

But if we don't accept her terms,

she may demand the division of property.

And Granin will adopt Fedya.

Then your chances of seeing Fedya will be even smaller.

That's why I'm suing. To prevent this. Do you understand?

Let's look at this objectively.

If Victoria proves your relationship in court,

we'll have zero chance to win this.

You have two options. Try to negotiate with Gnatiuk

or accept Alla's terms.

Damn!

Anyway, Kirill and I managed to classify the wounds and bruises.

Apart from the knife, the attackers used three more weapons. Look.

This is a club. Kind of like a baseball bat.

It left these wide long bruises.

This one's from the piece of bar. And these four,

resembling the letter 'J", are from a wrench.

It also left traces of engine oil on the clothes.

So there were four attackers?

Apparently. Unless

each of them was using two weapons at once.

Artur. I found traces of gunpowder on Ignatov's fingers.

He did fire a gun.

Based on the gunpowder, we can determine how many shots he fired.

Well, there are minor traces. He fired once. Twice tops.

I see. The dots are starting to connect.

OK, so he was attacked, but he managed to shoot.

I just don't understand what Ignatov was doing at this time in this place?

And where is the gun? Maybe the killers got rid of it...

- Hi. - What did you want to talk about?

Judging by your tone, you aren't ready to have a meaningful talk.

Depends what you mean by "meaningful".

Vika, what are you trying to achieve?

That's a vague question, Kirill. Be more specific.

OK, I'll be specific. Are you really cooperating with Alla's lawyers?

- Who told you that? - Doesn't matter. Are you?

What do you want, huh?

I'll be separated from Fedya. Is that what you want?

You know what? Don't lecture me

or appeal to my conscience. OK?

I'm not going to. I just want to understand your motives.

You probably think it will contribute to my scientific career?

Please! Don't be ridiculous!

After you failed the report,

there can be no scientific career.

Listen, I couldn't.

You couldn't refuse your beloved Nastya. That's all.

Fine. Maybe.

But let me decide what's important to me and what isn't.

I, too, will decide what's important to me and what isn't.

Goodbye, Kirill Andreyevich.

There are questions I can't find the answers to.

Like, the murder weapons. They don't use firearms.

They just beat their victims to death... With clubs or iron bars.

Yeah. I'm also puzzled by their way of killing.

It's like these murders are from the harsh nineties.

When they killed with devious cruelty, not just to eliminate

someone, but to intimidate others.

Yes. But these three murders don't look like a criminal showdown.

I agree. Perhaps the motives are very different here.

But, you know, habit is a forceful thing. Even in crimes.

And the special cruelty toward their victims makes me

think about one simple thing.

Killing is a usual thing for them. Maybe it's even their favorite thing.

Looks like we're dealing with a gang of repeat offenders.

With an extensive long-term experience.

- Anastasia Vladimirovna! - Yes.

I have some information on Ignatov's bank. Let's take a look now?

- Sure. Arkadiy, are you with us? - Yes. With pleasure.

I analyzed all Ignatov's contacts and came to the conclusion that

he wasn't really done with crime.

This is Renat Bulatov.

Nickname "Psycho". He and Ignatov were in the same colony.

In fact, they became friends there.

I think there are reasons why he has such a nickname.

Yes. He's unstable. Prone to sudden flashes of rage.

He got a sentence for one of such flashes.

Aggravated murder.

So all this time Ignatov was in touch with Bulatov?

Yes. Moreover, Bulatov was one of the shareholders

of Ignatov's bank.

- Any disagreements between them? - Here, look.

A copy of a share sales contract.

Not signed.

That's right. This is the conflict.

The financial director said Bulatov had refused to sign the contract

because he wasn't OK with the price.

And Ignatov couldn't explain to him

that with such a return, those shares were worthless.

A good motive for a man named Psycho.

Yes.

Ignatov was killed by 3 or 4 people. Where did he get the other psychos?

I thought about that too. I checked Bulatov's social circle.

Asked the officers who work in Bulatov's neighborhood.

Here's what they told me.

Check it out. These three are with him all the time.

They have a common nickname "The youth".

They have great respect for Psycho. He has a big reputation.

They would do anything for him.

Now they just bully and do small stuff.

But they're expecting serious orders from him.

Well, I think it's clear.

The first two murders were kind of an exam.

To earn Bulatov's trust.

The first two victims were random.

Then Bulatov put a hit on Ignatov.

- What happened to your hand, Bulatov? - Nothing. Just a cut.

Do you mind telling us how you got it?

I do. Did you bring me here because of a cut on my hand?

Of course not.

We don't deal with such trivial matters. We deal with murders.

Right now - with the murder of Leonid Ignatov.

What does it have to do with me?

Well, you were unhappy with the price of the shares

and didn't sign the sales contract.

So? We could've had a chat and agree on the price.

Can't agree with a dead guy.

True. You can't.

But a dead guy doesn't cause problems.

I had no reason to kill him. Period.

You shouldn't try to pin Lyonka's murder on me.

It won't work.

Bulatov, you didnt tell me where you hurt your hand.

I cut it. What difference does it make?

Ignatov managed to wound one of the attackers.

There was his blood at the crime scene.

We just need to run a DNA test to find out.

Fine. I'll tell you where I cut my hand. In a hotel room.

I was opening a bottle and smashed it. Cut my hand with the fragments.

- Where was your "youth"? - Downstairs.

As usual. Waiting in the lobby.

Can anyone at the hotel confirm your alibi?

Of course.

Call them and ask.

Yes. I surely will. Why didnt you say right away?

I was there with a woman. Young, beautiful. Married.

Don't ask about her. I won't say anything anyway.

Well, Bulatov. You're chivalrous, I'll give you that...

I still need you to sign an undertaking not to leave the city.

- Until further fact finding. - Be my guest.

- Ed! - Yeah.

- Are DNA results ready? - Yes. It's not Bulatov's blood.

So he really was at the hotel.

At first I thought he'd threatened the hotel staff.

Fine. We have more information.

All victims' cars disappeared after the murder.

And they didn't appear in any reports.

Listen, what if the cars of

the deceased were dismantled and sold out for parts?

A stolen car is hard to sell. I agree.

You have to change the plates, forge the documents.

But it's really hard to find those who just sell parts.

It's like looking for a needle in a haystack.

We need to look for a garage. They must've done it in this neighborhood.

Hello. Yes.

Who? Zalepin?

OK. OK. I'll tell her.

A man was found unconscious. He's been beaten.

Another victim of the gang?

Most likely. But he's willing to testify.

We need to see him at the hospital.

I'll take Oksa. She'll make an identikit.

- Yes. - Matvey Zalepin?

- Yes. - Hello.

The Investigative Committee. My name is Artur Vardanyan.

This is my colleague Oksa.

- Hi. - Hi.

- May I? - Yeah. Sure.

You want to know the details?

- That would be nice. - This girl was hitch-hiking.

I pulled over. She asked me to give her a lift.

To some festival. After some time she got out of the car...

Ran toward a tree.

Then I heard her cry for help.

I got out of the car, ran toward her...

- If it's hard for you, we... - I'm OK, I'm OK...

I ran toward her. Saw her lying behind a tree.

I bent down and then

these guys with bats appeared.

- With some iron bars. - Do you remember their faces?

What faces? They were wearing some kind of bandages...

I only remember one of them saying to this girl,

"Go, princess!"

- Princess? Do you remember correctly? - I do. "Princess".

She jumped up and ran. And...

I ran too. They ran after me.

Only caught me by the gully.

They would've killed me if I hadn't jumped. It's about 15 meters...

I passed out.

They thought I was dead and left, thank God...

- When did you come to? - In the evening...

It was cold. I woke up from the cold.

Found a shallow slope.

I spent, like, a day getting out.

Describe this girl. My colleague will make an identikit.

Yeah. OK.

Teenage cruelty is, unfortunately, a fairly common phenomenon.

But these have gone too far.

What if they really killed people

in order to dismantle their cars and sell them for parts?

If it was all they cared about, they'd learn to steal cars.

They like to inflict pain. They like to kill.

They are into this. Selling cars for parts

is just an auxiliary business.

Might as well make some money.

I don't know...

If they just liked to torture,

they would probably attack more defenseless people.

People their age, for example. But they commited crimes

that put them in danger. Like Ignatov's shot.

Danger is perceived differently at this age.

It's not a barrier that stops them.

It's a barrier they want to overcome.

I understand, but I'll do as I see fit.

Yes. I tried to talk to Victoria. It's pointless.

But despite all this, I won't change my mind. OK, Denis.

Kirill, are you alright?

Well... Denis suggested I negotiate with Alla.

For me this issue is resolved. I'm not gonna compromise.

Even if Vika testifies.

Kirill, have you thought this through? Your son's happiness is at stake.

You know, I know very well what it's like to live without parents.

I really missed their love, their attention, their care.

So before you decide, my advice to you, think carefully.

Nastya. I want my son to be happy.

But Alla leaves me no choice.

So I'll do as I see fit.

What are you doing?

I got the phone numbers of all car repair shops

and auto parts stores to check all the calls.

Why?

I was thinking, if this gang of teenagers isn't associated

with professional criminals,

they'd most likely try to sell the parts in their neighborhood,

just to be safe.

- OK, this isn't flawless logic. - Yeah.

Maybe it isn't. But it gave results.

Within three days after the first murder

they called eight car repair shops and offered to buy car parts.

The parts that were sold to you had been removed from the cars,

the owners of which had been brutally killed.

I knew nothing about it.

Good. Then tell us what you know.

This guy said he'd bought them from the owners of wrecked cars.

What guy? What was his name and what did he look like?

He said his name was Sergey. Usual, average height...

He contacted me and brought the goods.

Did he tell you when he'd bring the next consignment?

We agreed on the last day of this month.

In one week ... I see. OK, thank you. You're free to go.

- Goodbye. - Take care.

Would you like to buy some parts, fellow car enthusiast?

Great!

Did you actually find the parts of the missing cars?

Yes. We picked up a trail.

We found the parts of the second victim's car in one of the shops.

- Let's look for fingerprints then? - OK.

Apparently, they got a new task.

We can't just wait for them to kill another person

to get them in a repair shop.

That's right. That's why we need to be ahead of them.

I have a plan.

- What plan? - A very simple one.

We need to use the tactics of the Princess's gang.

They use bait.

And I suggest myself as the bait.

No. Forget it. It's too dangerous.

- Nastya, hear me out first. - I won't.

- I don't want to risk your life. - There'll be no risk!

No danger. If Im lucky to give the Princess a lift,

your guys will come into play.

I'll take Ed's red jeep. They'll notice it for sure.

And you're right, we need to act fast.

Otherwise, Nastya, if we hesitate,

we won't be able to prevent another murder.

Fine. You got me. There's one condition though.

No unnecessary risk or rashness.

Nastya, what are you talking about? You know me.

Exactly. I do. That's why I'm worried.

Doc, you've been driving back and forth for five days.

What if they changed their mind or just decided to change the route?

Ed, one smart guy said:

"Lift your foot and a step will appear".

Unfortunately, he didn't add that

a step wouldn't appear at the first attempt.

It's pointless to fight your optimism.

That's right. Fight crime instead.

There's some girl.

I think this is our Princess.

Copy, Doc. I'll give your coordinates to the task force.

- Hello. - Hi.

Can you give me a lift? There's just a couple of kilometers.

That's it!

- Visiting your grandma? - No. Going to my favorite band's gig.

That's a good reason. Is the road OK? Will I pass through?

You'll pass through anything with your jeep.

- Fine. Get in. - Thanks.

Indeed, you shouldn't walk to your favorite band's concert.

I know!

So which band is it? What do they play?

The band is called The Crusaders. They play alternative rock.

Have you heard of it?

Alternative rock - yes. The Crusaders - no, unfortunately.

They aren't big yet.

But believe me, in a year everyone will know about them.

This road is horrible...

I'm sorry, could you pull over?

I need to go. Like, five minutes.

Right here? OK.

Help! Aaaa! Help!

Dear juvenile delinquents! I suggest you don't resist!

You're surrounded!

Freeze! Where are you going? Everyone stay put!

- On the ground! Hands behind your back! - Easy! Move!

Polina's parents arrive tonight.

They were in the Maldives, they'll be on the first flight.

Thanks. Hello, Yelena Valeryevna.

Hello, Polina. I hope they're treating you well?

Yeah.

Then I think we can proceed, Anastasia Vladimirovna.

- Yes, of course. - Ask your questions.

I was hoping that Polina would just tell us everything.

And if I have questions, I'll definitely ask them.

What kind of story do you expect from my client?

Three murders.

One case of serious bodily harm.

I think it should be a long one.

- I don't know what you mean. - You don't?

Fine. I'll try to explain.

Matvey Zalepin is the man who gave you a lift.

He claims that you lured him to an empty country road,

where he was attacked by three accomplices of yours,

who almost beat him to death.

This pedophile dares to blame me?

He started to hit on me in the car. I barely got out.

I ran, he ran after me.

Thank God those guys appeared and saved me.

I don't know what he would have done to me.

What about our Dr.Rotkin? Did he hit on you too?

I didnt understand what happened with your doctor.

There was all that awful mess. Those riot policemen.

Then those thugs with batons...

What does it have to do with me?

You ran over to a tree and began to scream.

I thought I saw a snake.

Did you think the same when you were with Zalepin?

I slipped and fell on some iron bar.

So you claim that you don't know these teenagers?

I don't.

Do I look like a girl who hangs out with such people?

I don't know.

- This is very strange. - What do you think is strange?

Polina claims she was attacked by a pedophile.

And these teenagers miraculously saved her.

And after all that, she got into a stranger's car again.

Are you talking about your doctor?

He seemed very civilized and trustworthy.

Unless you have any more questions, I think we're done here.

The girl just needs to rest.

I also think that she needs to rest

and think over her testimony.

Because sooner or later, Polina, I'll prove your connection with them.

Then we'll see what you have to say.

I don't think you'll be able to find the evidence

on something that never happened.

We'll see.

Artur! Take her away.

Do you also think that I'm a horrible criminal?

We're not supposed to think about such things.

Nonsense. You can't forbid a person to think.

There's one true freedom in life - think whatever you want.

You haven't answered. Do you think I'm guilty or not?

- Anastasia Vladimirovna will find out. - What if she's wrong?

- She's never wrong. - Nonsense. Anyone can be wrong.

You know, it's very difficult to surprise me lately.

But Princess did it.

Not all repeat thieves can be so confident during interrogation.

So she insists that she doesn't know them?

You know, she thought everything through.

We practically have no evidence

that they're somehow connected.

What about Zalepin's testimony?

He heard them call her Princess.

Yes. But Polina claims that Zalepin hit on her.

Most likely, their lawyer will file a lawsuit against him.

This is ridiculous. Can't we prove that Princess is associated with the gang?

Oksa checked all the phone calls. Nothing.

I told you, Princess is very smart.

She assumed they could be found if they called each other.

So they must've contacted each other in a different way.

Internet or something else.

And these three teenagers, what are they saying?

Silent as a grave.

By the way, the mechanic said that he'd never seen them.

Apparently, the fourth guy handled the goods. He was shot by Ignatov.

Strange. We caught them red-handed, but there is no evidence.

We can try to track the money

and the fourth gang member, the one shot by Ignatov.

That is, if he's still alive.

Anastasia Vladimirovna!

Polina Shorokhova's parents are here.

Good. Thank you, Oksa. Take them to my office, please. I'm coming.

OK.

Your daughter is accused of a series of robberies and murders.

It doesn't make any sense!

A sixteen-year-old girl killed and robbed three adult men?!

She didn't act alone. Three more teenagers were arrested.

I don't know about the other teenagers, but

our daughter couldn't have done what you're saying.

- They were caught red-handed. - My daughter couldn't do this.

She's always been an example to others.

Oh God... She is a kind, considerate girl.

- She's been helping the elderly. - I understand how you feel.

We didn't believe it either.

But all the evidence points to your daughter.

Besides, we have two witnesses.

Who are these witnesses?

That pedophile who attacked my daughter?

Or your colleague? Who, of course, will give the testimony you need?

So your daughter says. But it doesn't mean

that Matvey Zalepin did what Polina accuses him of.

We'll have to figure it out.

While you're figuring it out, I don't want my daughter

to share a cell with thieves and murderers.

I demand to change the preventive measure!

I'm willing to pay any sum, sign whatever paper

for her to be released. Today.

I have the right to detain her for seventy-two hours.

I will exercise this right.

Well, if you don't want to help us,

there'll be no compromise.

We'll hire the best lawyers.

They'll put your witness in prison for pedophilia. But that's not all.

You will probably be charged

with frame-up and abuse of power.

You can hire a lawyer. It's your right.

But I'll continue the investigation.

Pies. Homemade.

Thanks. If you brought me pies,

then you don't think I'm a criminal?

What? These are just pies. Just eat.

Ordinary people speak with words. Extraordinary ones - with deeds.

What makes you think I'm extraordinary?

Because I am, too.

Birds of a feather flock together, as they say.

Birds...

You're a prisoner. I work for the Investigative Committee.

Well, it's all wrong.

I'm not guilty.

You're not an investigator at heart. You still have a chance.

You're not cold-hearted, unlike my dad.

Unlike most adults...

You must've met wrong adults.

You're not like them. You're different.

Different how?

Kind and considerate.

I don't know what happens next, or if I'll ever see you again...

It's a pity we met like this.

If you're not guilty, they will let you go.

It's not just about me...

- About who then? - Never mind.

Polina. You'll spend 2 more days in here...

They'll bail you out.

And you'll be out of here.

Two days is a very long time. I'm afraid it will be too late...

Too late for what?

Nothing. Forget it. You can't help me anyway.

What makes you think I can't halp you?

Guards!

I thought so. Princess's parents were furious.

Naturally.

They don't believe their child did this.

Yes. On top of that, they want to hire lawyers

and put forward counter-claims.

Against who?

Me for frame-up. And Zalepin - for pedophilia.

And how do they intend to prove it?

Well, their accusations won't have serious consequences.

But they are very powerful people.

I think they'll do anything to obstruct the investigation.

Yes.

Yes. Yes, Artur.

When did you talk to her?

Yes. Thank you. I got it.

Yes. Later. Artur called.

I want to conduct an investigative experiment with him.

According to Matvey, he was attacked here.

Where were you at that moment?

I was lying here in the grass.

- Guys... - Your gun.

- Put your gun down, now! - Handcuffs!

- Artur, you understand... - Zorina! Stay put!

- Run! The key is in the ignition. - Thanks.

I'm sorry, Anastasia Vladimirovna.

You know, Artur, if you ever get tired of working in the IC,

get into a drama school.

It's too late for me.

- Oksa. - Radio beacon is set.

Tracking the car. It's moving along the highway toward Moscow.

Where will you lead us?

How are you, Pasha?

Where have you been? Where are the others?

- We got caught. - How?

Doesn't matter. I escaped.

My parents have a doctor. Put it away.

I'll patch it up and we'll go.

We'll pay him, he won't say anything.

Pasha, hang on.

- Did you turn me in? - Pasha, no!

- Freeze! - Freeze!

Freeze!

If you continue to lie and defend Pavel,

it will be really stupid of you.

I love him. I won't tell you anything.

You can't possibly be so naive.

The man you love and defend is a ruthless criminal.

When you tried to save him, he hit you.

Now he puts all the blame on you.

I don't believe you.

You will in court.

If you tell the truth now,

I promise you, I'll try to reduce your sentence.

For cooperating with investigation.

And I guarantee that you are facing a sentence.

Especially after what Pavel said.

Here is his testimony.

I'll tell you everything.

I'm listening.

Pavel made me get into these cars.

I got out and ran toward a tree.

I screamed. The driver ran out after me.

As I thought, the real leader of the gang is Pavel.

How did Princess end up in this company?

She loved him very much.

When Artur told me that she'd asked him to help her escape,

I knew it was because of Pavel.

I knew he was still alive. And he really needed her help.

Now we have plenty of evidence against each member of the gang.

I'll be in my office if you need me.

Kirill, you don't seem very pleased with the results of the investigation.

Rather, with the methods we used to achieve these results.

We used the feelings of a 15-year-old girl to get to Pavel.

You see, even the most romantic feelings of this

cruel fifteen-year-old girl don't reduce her guilt.

What now? What is she facing? A juvie.

Though instead she should be admitted to a mental hospital.

To get rid of stress.

What about the stress

experienced by the relatives of the deceased?

I get it.

Its just that at this age there's a lot you dont know or understand.

Yes. We faced cruelty.

Children's cruelty.

This word has different shades of meaning.

Sometimes, cruelty is quite justified.

Even doctors can be cruel. You know that very well.

Let alone soldiers or policemen.

Justice can be cruel.

But in the case of these unfortunate children,

it was rather callousness than cruelty,

lack of soul in these poor children.

Sadly, it can't be cured. Or it can, but with great difficulty.

Especially in prison.

In order to be cured, first of all, you must

realize your guilt. Realize everything you've done.

You must really want to change. And it's a very hard thing to do.
