The driver said he saw the body here somewhere.

Here he is!

He's already cold. Call forensics.

Grisha, look, what's that?

I can't understand.

Did he chain himself to the suitcase?

Yes. And he rolled his sleeve. Something is strange here.

We need to call investigation committee. Let's go.

Kirill! I've been looking for you. Good morning.

Good morning. Some tea?

I'll have some. I have news about the case.

The news are pretty good.

Come on, tell me.

Alla's lawyer called me and told

that court hearing is postponed for now.

Because claimant is ill.

This is not good news, this is bad news that are postponed.

I haven't finished.

The thing is, the claimant is not really ill.

It's a lie.

What's the real reason then?

Granin is having some troubles.

I'm not sure what it is.

But people say it's

about his financial activity.

Unexpected. But I think Granin is a tough cookie, he'll deal with it.

I don't think so. Such operations

are usually are related with money laundering, big money.

And that's a serious accusation.

I think it smells like jail time.

That's some news. Okay. How will it reflect on our case?

I'm concerned about Fedya. What's going to happen to him?

Everything will stay the same. Nothing will change.

Granin has enough problems right now.

Sorry.

Yes. What? We'll be there.

Okay. I'll be there soon.

Sorry. Need to go. Goodbye.

What do you have here?

We haven't touched anything. We were waiting for you.

- Was the suitcase empty? - Yes. Just some papers.

Is the driver arrested?

No. We're searching for him. I think the hit-and-run was a part of robbery.

Okay.

What do you think doctor Lemke?

Is there a possibility that it opened during the hit?

No. I think somebody broke the lock.

Some checks are here.

On the name of Viktor Tolmashov.

- Let me see. - Is the victim identified?

Not yet. We found him around an hour ago.

I need to go to the lab to examine the body in details.

It couldn't have opened during the hit.

I have a job for you Oksa.

We need information on Viktor Tolmashov.

- A murder? - No. Hit-and-run.

There's a peculiarity. Kirill is working on it now.

Zorina asked you to check his payments, phone calls and stuff.

Fine.

- Doc. May I? - Come in.

- I have something on Tolmashov. - Good. What do you have?

Viktor Tolmashov, 52 years old. He was living alone. Owned a small pawnshop.

He accepted not just jewelry

but everything else that's worth something.

So his clients were alcoholics, thieves and junkies?

Yes. I've checked his phone calls.

Half of them are of that category.

Maybe someone hit him to rob him?

Okay. Cause of death is a head injury.

He broke two ribs and his leg during the hit.

And the most important thing.

The suitcase lock is broken.

They tried to rip it off his hand at first. His hand is bruised.

They failed and then just smashed it.

They knew something valuable was inside. Is that all about the calls?

Almost. Only one call seems suspicious to me.

The last one who he called was Maxim Dutov.

Okay. So what?

He's a famous art dealer. His collection is one of the biggest in Russia.

What could connect a small pawnshop owner

and a famous collector?

Tell Shurik to work on the suitcase.

Maybe he'll find a clue.

- Fine. - Okay.

Shurik, any new info on Tolmashov?

I've examined the suitcase. Nothing special except for small particles of gold.

- What gold? - Can't tell yet.

I thought about what Oksa said.

That Tolmashov called Dutov an hour before to his death.

Dutov is a famous art dealer. Collects medals.

What if Tolmashov found a rare medal?

Then the hid-and-run was not an accident.

I understand. But that's what I don't understand.

We found a car with bloodstains left on a highway outside the city.

So the criminal had left it there.

That means he's unexperienced. He should've known that we would

find that car sooner or later.

The car is stolen.

Our main goal is to find out

if Tolmashov had a valuable medal in his suitcase.

Let Oksa check the database and see if

there were stolen medals recently.

I'll call Dutov and ask Arkadiy to talk to him.

- Fine. - Thank you.

- Yes. - Did you call me?

Sure. I've been waiting for you. Come in, take a sit.

Are you familiar with Tolmashov?

Tolmashov…

He called you yesterday at half past ten.

Oh, that Tolmashov. His name is Viktor, I think.

That's correct. Viktor Tolmashov. What was the subject of your conversation?

Tolmashov buys different junk.

But he still hopes to catch the bird of luck by it's tail.

He knows that I love medals.

He calls me every month. Offers me to buy another piece of junk.

But nothing valuable yet.

What did he ask to estimate the cost of that time?

Some medal. I didn't even understand what medal.

He told me to come and figure it out.

Aren't you surprised that you haven't met him yet?

Probably got drunk and forgot. Why do you ask?

He got ran over by a car yesterday. He died.

I'm sorry for him.

We weren't really

close friends.

It's a shame.

Anastasia Vladimirovna, five days ago

we got a report about Golden Star. It was stolen.

- Report was filed by Elmira Gordeeva. - Whose medal it is?

It's her late husband's medal - Petr Gordeev.

He's a Hero of Soviet Union.

A medal for heroism

during a war conflict in Afghanistan.

How was it stolen?

Stolen from their home. A criminal case was opened.

But it has stalled. Because investigation team

didn't find any evidence of break-in into the apartment, nothing special.

I see. Does Elvira Gordeeva live alone?

With her son. His name is Andrey.

Medal was always kept in our safe.

And it was always there after his death.

How did you find out that it was missing?

Five days ago I looked into the safe and it wasn't there.

I called police right away. They came.

Checked everything. What did they say, Andrysha?

They said there are no signs of break-in

or illegal home invasion.

Yes. No signs.

And the medal was stolen somehow.

I'm not interested in these signs. I need the medal.

Why do you need the medal, Elvira?

Why were you looking for it five days ago?

You see…

We're kind of short on money right now.

My salary is not enough.

- And Andryusha can't find… - Mom.

Yes. He can't find a decent job.

- So you decided to sell it? - Yes.

Yes, I know. I know it's priceless.

You can't sell heroism. But…

I think Petya would've understood me, I hope…

Did you already have a buyer?

No I don't even have a clue

how much it could cost.

I wanted to take it to appraiser.

Is it only you who has key from the safe?

No, why? Andryusha has one too of course.

What if mine gets lost.

Why are you looking at me like that? You think I took it?

No. I don't think so. I'm just thinking about stuff.

Police told that there are no signs of breaking on the safe lock

so we can assume it was somebody who lives there.

Am I an idiot to steal my own medal?

It was mine by the law.

I'm the legal heir of my father's property.

I was against my mother wanting to sell it.

Yes. That's true. He was always against.

But you know, we're in need.

Fine.

Do you know Viktor Tolmashov?

No we don't know him. Who is it?

We think that he had the Golden Star.

But then it was stolen from him.

- He died. A hit-and-run. - Oh, that's horrible.

That's enough for today. Thank you.

- Thank you. Goodbye. - Goodbye.

- Thank you. - Let's go.

Let's go.

Excuse me please. Help us if you can.

- We'll try. - Goodbye.

- Goodbye. - Goodbye. Have a nice day.

What did the widow say?

Nothing special. We still don't know how the Star was stolen from the safe.

And how it had gotten into Tolmashov's hands.

Maybe Tolmashov stole the Star?

No. I don't think so.

He could buy a stolen thing. Steal it- no, no, never.

At least that doesn't match

how Dutov described him.

And how did he find out

that Gordeevy's have the Star in their safe?

I agree with doc. The medal was brought to him by a thief.

Sold it for pennies probably.

Tolmashov felt some big money coming

and went to Dutov right away to show his new purchase.

The robbers are very strange. Got into that house like shadows.

Leaving no evidence at all.

They probably used key duplicates

from the house and safe. Maybe lock picks too.

If that's true there should be

specific marks left inside locks.

Maybe Anastasia Vladimirovna will get a warrant today

and we can go check it.

We don't need a warrant for that. I'll make a call.

Elmira, hello. This is Arkadiy Rotkin. Do you have a minute?

Thanks. We need to check something.

We need to disassemble

your door and safe locks for that.

Oh, you're not at home. What about your son? I see.

Can we come this evening?

We'll need no more than two hours.

Fine. It's a deal. See you.

- That's all. - Cool.

- Hello. - Hello, Nastya.

Why are you still here? It's late. Has something happened?

- And you? Copying me? - I'm working.

Is something bothering you Kirill?

Yes. You're right. Denis came this morning

and told that Granin is in trouble with the law.

So our court hearing is postponed.

I think that could reflect on Fedya in a bad way.

I want to call Alla and invite

Fedya to live with me for a while.

Are you afraid she'll say no?

Yes. There's a thing.

With Fedya it will be hard for me to do my job.

Kirill, if Alla says yes,

and Fedya moves to your place, I promise we'll figure things out.

- I promise. - Thank you Nastya.

It's nothing.

- About the case. - Okay.

We found the car that was used to run over Tolmashov.

Some teenagers stole it. And we got them too.

Artur and Arkadiy already had a talk with them.

They're saying they know nothing about the medal.

Arkadiy is saying he believes them.

They're not lying.

I think they could've run him over by accident.

Got scared and fled the crime scene.

May be so. So somebody else probably

used that car crash to take the medal from Tolmashov.

But we don't know if it was a random man

or he was tracking down Tolmashov on purpose.

I don't know.

- I'm done. - And?

No lock pick marks. And key duplicates weren't used here.

Well. Lack of evidence

is evidence too.

Well yeah.

I'll pack our stuff and we're leaving.

Oh, my son. Again…

Andrey is not quite healthy. Never mind it. Sorry.

- Doc. Maybe. - Sure. He took the Star.

Oh my. That's sleepwalking.

That's pretty common. But it usually happens in childhood.

- Have you seen that already? - A lot of times.

I've studied that question.

If his mother is aware of his sleepwalking then he knows too.

Of course he does. We need to check his medical file.

It usually happens in childhood in at night.

And when you're at that age

and with electric light on - that's very strange.

Excuse me please.

Elvira. Does it often happen to your son?

- No. - Did you go a doctor?

Yes. In his childhood.

Doctors said this would end. And it did end.

Almost. When he's nervous…

I don't tell him about that, because he's ashamed of it.

Sleepwalker is an insult for him.

But don't think of him in a bad way.

He doesn't hurt anyone. He just walks…

We'll go to see a doctor.

- Good. - Yes, thank you.

Somnambulism usually occurs when one is not fully awake

from slow phase of deep sleep. It's called delta-faze.

After that does a man remember what happened to him?

No.

A sleepwalker can have dreams. Even remember these dreams after.

But it's not related to his actions.

He can drink, eat, talk.

But it's mostly incoherent mumbling.

So Gordeeva's son suffers from

somnambulism. She reported a stolen medal.

He's not alone.

Two out of hundred people are sleepwalkers.

This is usually linked to stress and anxiety.

A lot of sleepwalkers among epileptics.

Can a person in that condition

open up a safe with a key and take something out of there?

It's possible. A sleepwalker can perform simple physical actions.

They even speak. They can answer simple questions.

How old are you, what's your name… But answers are mostly incorrect.

Could he leave the house and go somewhere?

I don't think so. There's a lot of stories about sleepwalkers.

Sometimes they get on the roof or drive a car.

That's nonsense, most of it.

Usually a person doesn't feel pain in that state.

There were cases when a sleepwalker

put his hand in boiling water and didn't wake up.

The episode lasts for an hour, hour and a half. They all come back to bed.

Ed.

What, Shurik?

Why so tense? Is something wrong?

Yes. Something is wrong.

Are you going to tell me or doc?

I'm scared. What has happened?

Hello! Tell me.

It's nothing.

I was waiting for Oksa to talk to her.

To propose her, to be more specific.

Did she refuse you?

It's not that. Katran came at the same moment.

And he wants to propose to her to.

Oh my… How did it end?

With nothing.

Oksa came out in a bad mood and said to both of us to piss off.

I hope you didn't have a fight there.

We didn't. Katran has been really lucky lately.

Company whose website he hacked

offered him a job.

The paycheck is out of this world.

Why do you care about the paycheck Ed?

Money does not equal happiness, Ed.

- It's not the case. - What's then?

He's a coder.

They have a lot in common with Oksa.

And she was in love with him not so long ago.

Maybe she still loves him. Maybe she'll be happy with him.

And I'm in their way.

Wrong people you communicate with.

Don't be such a wimp. Paycheck, money.

It's not about it. It's about feelings!

You love Oksa, don't you?

- Yes. - You're the man. Act!

So you should get what you want. Do you understand me?

Here's my friendly advice.

So you're sleepwalking again?

Yes.

Hello again.

I've been thinking. What if you took the medal from safe?

During an episode.

Am I able to open a safe in that state?

Yes, sure.

How did Tolmashov get it?

I'd like to know that too.

I hope to find it out with your help.

We need to understand where did you put it, if that was you of course.

I have no idea. I don't remember a thing.

That's okay.

Let's assume you put it somewhere in the open.

So anyone could've taken it.

Guest or a plumber for example.

Did anybody come to your house?

No. Nobody.

But mom is always at work.

She's not at home. And I'm searching for job, I'm not at home too.

- Nobody was at home. - Yes.

Maybe I threw it out the window? And Tolmashov picked it up?

I doubt that.

Okay. Thanks. We'll continue thinking about it.

- Thank you. Bye. - Goodbye.

Do you still need my presence? I need to be present at search.

- What search? - At Tolmashov's office.

We need to find out where he got that medal from.

Let's assume Tolmashov had decided to sell the stolen medal.

I doubt he made an official deal about it.

I think so too. But, Anastasia Vladimirovna

says that different things happen.

So we need to go and check his files.

Go.

What do you have Shurik?

I don't even know what to say. So many fingerprints

I can't even determine who brought the medal.

What's that?

Star. One thousand five hundred rubles.

Received from T. Holkina.

I think we need to talk to her.

Do you know Viktor Tolmashov? He's a pawnshop owner.

Vitya the fence? Of course I know him.

So you won't deny

that a few days ago you sold a medal to him?

No I won't. He begged me to sell it.

But I refused and pawned it.

He didn't give me more than one and a half thousand.

Where did you get that medal from?

Medal? That was a gift.

- From who? - That's personal.

You know that medal is

Star of Soviet Union Hero. Medal with his name.

And it's stolen. We have a police report.

So if you don't say who gave it to you

it means you stole it.

Are you insane? I never stole anything in my life.

My friend Andrey gave it to me.

- Andrey Gordeev? - Yes. And?

Andrey and his mom are saying that the Star was stolen.

So? Shall we make a confrontation?

No, don't. He didn't give it to me. I borrowed it.

So you stole it.

I didn't steal it.

You can steal from others. Andryusha is my dear one. We love each other.

Take her away.

Wait. Do you want to put me in jail because of it?

No.

You'll stay in isolation for a couple of days.

We'll find out if there's love between you two or not.

- Hello. - Take a sit.

Andrey, do you know Tatyana Holkina?

- Of course. She's my girlfriend. - Yes.

Why are you asking about her?

Because she took your medal.

Took it out of your pocket when you were asleep.

Okay. I took it from the safe.

She took it and went to the pawnshop.

- Is that right? - Yes.

She confessed and now

we just have to register it.

You just have to file a report, we'll open a criminal case.

Wait. I won't report her.

I don't want Tanya to suffer because of me.

But she stole a valuable thing from you.

I love her. And I don't want her to suffer.

And she doesn't have it anymore.

Yes. So we need to continue investigation.

Any ideas guys?

It's Shurik's idea. I didn't take it seriously at first.

Then after Ed's find I think that it's worth investigating.

What find?

Pediculus humanus capitis. You know it as louse.

So you're saying Tolmashov had lice?

No. Insects were found on his clothes. None in his hair.

- He got them from someone. - And?

There were other traces.

So I think that Tolmashov was robbed by drunken hobos.

Let me show you the list.

Different kinds of food, mostly far from fresh. But…

There's one thing standing out. Look.

- Aluminum shavings. - How did it get there?

That aluminum alloy is mostly

used to make electric cable.

How do you connect a hobo and a cable?

Well, collecting non-ferrous metal is how they earn for living.

They steal it and bring it to scrap metal recycler.

Yes.

Look, on the photos of crime scene there's that cable.

Now we need to find out where the hobo sold it.

Maybe the scrap recycler worker saw him.

I looked up the address of the closest scrap recycler.

I'll send it to you in a message.

Shall we start with it?

I doubt scrap recycler owner

will confess he buys stolen cable.

You know what I think?

I think the district cop knows all local hobos

that do such things.

I'll contact him. Shurik and Arthur will talk to him.

You can't track them all.

I have more important things to do. A small robbery.

- But I'm aware of what's going on. - Sure.

I don't know about all of them. I think it's Grishka the tanker.

Who?

Grishka-tanker, it's his nickname.

- Grishka-tanker. - Let's go.

Here he is. Stop!

Can't talk to him already.

- Good day! - Hello.

Grishka.

Hello. What are you looking for?

We've already found it. Where did you get the medal?

Where do medals come from? Got it for heroism.

- A hero? Take it off! - You have no right!

I won't give it to you. Get your hands off my medal!

I spilled blood for this medal!

And those rats want to take it away from me.

Hero! You'll receive some beating now!

Yes. I am a Hero of Soviet Union.

Grish!

When did they start giving medals for pillaging?

You stole that medal from a dead man.

Take off the medal. Let's go.

Okay.

- Want some coffee? - Thank you.

Oksa. I want to tell you…

I hope I'm not distracting you.

Hello. What are you doing here?

I was just passing by.

- We're having a dinner. - How are you Ed?

I'm fine.

- And how are you? - Great.

Everything's great.

Thanks.

Tasty!

- Oksa. - Yes.

I have a present for you.

What's the occasion?

I think it can help you with work. A stylish and powerful thing.

Oksa, don't refuse it. It's to help you with work.

- Fine. Thank you. - That's not all.

There will be a cool IT party this evening.

Do you want to come with me?

- We have a lot of work today. - Yeah?

Maybe I will decide

how much work do I have?

- I'll go. Will you pick me up? - Sure, no problem.

- See you in the evening! - See you!

Bye. It was nice to see you Ed.

Arkadiy told me that you're going to come.

Anything urgent?

We have good news.

That's why we're here.

Found it. Thank you.

Yes Andrey. But you can't have it yet.

What do you mean?

Medal is mine by the law…

Andrey I know the laws.

You can't have it yet unfortunately.

You found the Star. Thank you very much. Any further questions?

This Star is needed for further investigation.

So finish your investigation and bring it back.

We need you to identify it.

Is that the medal that was stolen from your home?

Yes, that's it.

Shall I sign a paper or something?

No. Verbal confirmation is enough. Have a good day.

Nastya why have you decided not to give it back to Gordeev?

As I understand the investigation is over?

Case is usually closed when

there's lack of evidence.

They do. But I found his behavior rather alarming.

He was happy that the medal was found.

Sure. But I have some doubts.

I want to dispel my doubts first and then give it back.

This doubts won't leave me alone. I know myself.

I see.

- Eat, or it will go cold. - Yes.

What will you say, Shurik?

You were right Anastasia Vladimirovna. It's fake.

You can see it by the moulding. It's a crude forgery,

you can't take it for a serial factory product.

And it's bronze, not gold.

A special alloy that looks like gold. Fake for sure.

Thank you Shurik. So I had these doubts for a reason.

- What doubts? - A fake medal in the safe.

And the real one was stolen earlier.

What if Andrey stole the medal?

And he put a fake medal in the safe so his mom wouldn't notice.

Why would he steal it again

if he knew that it's a fake medal?

It's easy to explain.

Arkadiy told that Andrey's mother wanted to sell

his father's stuff because of financial trouble.

Andrey got scared that he might get caught.

So he faked a robbery. He knew the Star was fake.

So he took it out of the safe, put it in his pocket,

wanted to throw it away probably.

He came to see Tatyana and there was nothing to throw away anymore.

It explains his unwillingness to prosecute her.

Yes. I found it strange too.

A valuable thing got missing

and he was acting like it was nothing.

Anastasia Vladimirovna. Do you want to find the original medal?

But for what reason?

The medal is Andrey's property.

He can do with it anything he wants. He put a fake one into the safe.

But it's their own business.

We can't charge him for that.

There's a criminal article for producing state awards and medals.

Besides that I think that's not fair to his father's memory.

And that's not fair to his mother.

Petr Gordeev's son is worthless for sure.

But it's distress for the family. Why do you need it?

I don't know. Maybe because I'm officer's daughter.

And I feel bad for them. Not only for Petr Gordeev

but for all heroes whose medals are being sold now.

Until we find the real Star

I can't close the case.

Let's rough him up.

He'll tell us everything.

No, Shurkik. I'm afraid that might scare him.

Let's find out who made the fake medal first.

Give me the Star. Oksa.

I want to find the craftsman who made it. Is it possible?

I don't think someone is making them officially.

It's illegal. But they have to advertise their service somehow.

I'll search the internet. I might find something.

Thank you Shurik.

You're welcome.

Doctor Rotkin?

Yes. Come in, take a sit.

Thank you.

- Eduard Lunkin, prop man. - That's right.

Is that your work?

Yes that's mine.

I can always tell if it's mine.

Where did you get it? I gave it to my friend…

Why such a strange present?

Why strange? He asked me about it.

He always liked my props. And for me it's nothing.

It's bronze, not even gold.

So I gave it to him on his birthday.

I see. Thank you. You can go now.

I've always wanted a Hero's Star in my collection.

I found an owner by the copy number.

I bought the Golden Star from Gordeev about a year ago.

And I gave a copy to him.

- So you really wanted a Hero's Star? - Yes.

I don't understand you collectors.

You have a ton of medals. But no real achievements.

Stop moralizing Anastasia Vladimirovna.

You're not going to confiscate the Star, are you?

Let's end it here.

Don't teach me how to do my job.

Come with me.

- Where to? - To see Andrey Gordeev.

- Come. - After you.

- Here. - Yes.

This is a real Hero's Star of Soviet Union, Petr Gordeev.

Your father.

I'll give it to the museum of war if you don't mind.

I don't mind. Just don't tell my mother, okay?

- I think I'll have to tell her. - Why?

Because I want to charge you with a crime, article 26 of criminal code.

Forgery and sale of state awards and medals,

documents and so on.

Don't be so strict Anastasia Vladimirova.

Are we really going to jail for this?

You won't go to jail under these circumstances.

But you'll have to pay a fine.

I'll pay it. I'll earn money to pay it.

Don't tell my mother please.

- At least today. - He's going to pay!

Pay me first! You jerk!

Then start thinking about your fine.

First of all I'm not a jerk.

And why would I give you the money?

You bought it, so you have to deal with it.

They confiscated the star because of you, you freak!

Andrey, why do you want to

hide it from your mother, at least for today?

Today is anniversary of my father's death.

She went to visit the Heroes Memorial of war in Afghanistan.

Wait a second.

Yes. Kirill.

Hello. I need your help.

What are you doing here?

Your son owes me money.

Hello Elvira.

Don't worry. I'll explain everything.

I've gathered all these people here.

They are all linked to the case of your husband's medal.

As strange as it sounds.

I think Andrey will tell you everything later.

I wanted all these people to be present here today.

This is a Hero's Star,

it belongs to Hero of Soviet Union, Petr Gordeev.

In 1981 in Afghanistan his military convoy got ambushed.

They had a chance to break through. But mujahids closed the circle.

And then Petr Gordeev, who was at the end of the convoy

blocked the road with his armored vehicle.

He managed to hold them off for half an hour

until our helicopters came to rescue.

They weren't able to save Petr.

They pulled him out of the burning car.

Thanks to Petr's heroic act

they managed to save lives of sixty officers and soldiers.

Maxim.

How much did you pay for the Star?

Tatyana!

If I'm not mistaken you sold it for one and a half thousand rubles.

Is that correct? I hope now you understand

that it can't be bought or sold. It's priceless.

And certainly it cannot be sold to a pawnshop.

Good job, Nastya.

Do you think I did a right thing by taking them there Kirill?

Of course you did a right thing. A very interesting case.

A lot of people owned this Star but it didn't bring luck to any of them.

Moreover it showed the worst of their characters.

You did the right thing.

You can't punish them by the criminal code.

But you showed them that

a man must have at list a bit of dignity.

Thank you Kirill.

Hello?

Hello Alla. Can you speak right now?

Yes I can.

I want to ask you.

First of all I want to tell you

that I know what's going on with Granin right now.

I don't want to discuss that right now.

Me too. But here's what I think.

I think Fedya should be protected from all of this.

Maybe he'll live with me for some time?

To be fair I wanted to call and ask you the same.

Really? Great. I can come for him today.

I can come right now. Okay?

Yes. Fine.
