Original subtitles

Shut up.

Someone will hear us. Shut up.

- You're hurting me, bitch! - It's your fault! Shut up.

You'll calm down now. Listen to me.

I'll count to three, snap my fingers...

and it'll all be gone. You'll be awake.

One... Two... Three!

How do you feel?

- What happened? - I've plunged you to the past.

At the time when you were 4. You saw something terrible.

I think that's exactly the reason of all your nightmares.

I don't remember anything.

The underconsciousness blocks all those memories.

Because the things you've seen shocked you.

What did I see?

I think you were a murder witness 14 years ago.

A murder?

ACADEMIA

I was looking for volunteers for my hypnosis experiments.

One student brought her friend. Her name's Olesya Privalova.

She's 18 years old. She was complaining about recurring nightmares.

I assumed that her nightmares could've been caused by some repressed childhood memory.

I put the girl in a trance.

I kept sending her deeper into her past till we reached the moment when she was 4.

- What did she see when she was 4? - A murder.

Are you sure it was a murder?

What if it's just a memory of some movie or something?

She saw 2 men putting a female body in the trunk.

- Did she see their faces? - No.

My experience tells me it's not just a fantasy.

Based on some criteria I can safely make this conclusion.

Can you hypnotize her again so that she remembers more details?

Her subconscious mind is blocking these memories, preventing her from remembering more.

The only way out of this situation for us is to try and solve this case.

What are you suggesting, Arkadiy?

Concentrate all our energy on this murder

case from 14 years ago, based on some memory?

Nastya!

Where's your sense of adventure?

It's such a wonderful challenge for a detective.

I can already see Lobanov's face when I enter his office and tell him this story.

No need to go to Lobanov till we get more solid evidence.

For starters, I want to talk to her parents.

That was your experiment, Arkadiy, I'll leave you to it.

Thanks. I'm going in.

- Have a seat. - Good afternoon.

Yaroslav, this is dr. Rotkin. Olesya's therapist.

- Arkadiy. - Yaroslav Privalov, Olesya's father.

- Can I go? - Yeah, be seeing you.

I'm sorry. That man is...

That's Victor, a family friend. We work together.

I see. Well, I gather Olesya told you about our sessions?

Yes, she told us.

Honesly, I don't really believe in this hypnosis business.

That's quite a common prejudice

People say that a lot. Thing is, I've been practicing hypnotherapy for years.

I had some great results.

- I know what I'm doing. - Care for some tea, Arkadiy?

Sure, gladly.

You see, during our sessions we managed to get into her repressed childhood memories.

And this one scary episode from her childhood keeps haunting her in her nightmares.

I wan't to have a few more sessions with her to find the source of this trauma.

- Wouldn't that make her worse? - No, I guarantee you that.

In her nightmares Olesya always sees the same image.

She sees 2 men putting someone's body in the trunk.

If that really happened, you got any ideas when and where she could see this scene?

I'm at a loss here.

Try and remember. She was only 4.

Guys, are you hiding something?

Thing is, Olesya is not our biological daughter.

We adopted her when she was 4.

Is that so? In that case, try and remember.

Did you notice any strange behavior from her when you adopted her?

No. She was just a very quiet girl.

Making friends was difficult for her.

- Does she know she was adopted? - Yes.

But she doesn't know anything about her real parents.

Any idea what happened to them?

We only know what we were told in the foster home.

They found Olesya and took her there. Her parents were reported missing.

Unfortunately, they weren't able to find her.

Olesya couldn't even tell them her last name.

Got any childhood pictures of her?

- Yeah, sure. - Tanya, over there.

Look. She's only 4 in this one.

Oh, how cute.

This is her birthday. We already moved to a new house.

Do you mind if I take this photo album?

Yeah, sure. Just make sure to return it.

Of course, don't worry. We'll just scan whatever pictures we find interesting.

- Fine. - I'll return it.

Don't you worry.

Oh, I also need Olesya's foster home address.

Yaroslaw, will you write it down?

Of course. I'll just need to find it.

I'll look for it. I'll give it to you as soon as I find it.

Thanks. Be seeing you.

- Goodbye. - I'll walk you to the door.

Masha, where did you go? Come back!

Hello.

Hello. Was it you who called us about Olesya Privalova?

Yes. Tell me, Larisa, do you remember that girl well?

Of course. She was my favorite kid.

Do you know what she was like initially? Never talked to anyone.

She was screaming at nights. Such a difficult girl.

Always thinking about that scary story.

What scary story?

Well, every foster home got it's own scary story.

Ah, the one that's passed from generation to generation.

Yeah. They used to tell about the ghost in the cellar.

After we found Olesya, they started talking about Evna.

Evna?

Yeah. A monster from the lake.

The one that took her parents.

The story caught on, now everyone is scared of Evna.

Interesting. How long has Olesya lived here?

You know, not that long. 5 or 6 months, perhaps.

What was she like?

Oh... a wonderful kid. I loved her so much.

Quiet, docile. She would always sit in the corner and draw.

She really loved drawing.

Did you keep any drawings?

Of course. You know, kids' drawing are very valuable to me.

I never get rid of them. I brought you some.

- Can I have a look? - Sure, sure.

And this is probably Evna, the monster that took her parents.

You know, it's so weird.

Olesya couldn't even remember her last name.

She always talked about Evna, though.

Where do you think this weird name, Evna, came from?

You can never tell.

The girl has a wild imagination.

Look, there's Evna and some green woodpeckers.

Yeah, these are some funny drawings.

I think we'll find clues in them.

What about the green woodpecker? I used to draw blue unicorns, so what?

You see, Oksa...

A child who had suffered a psychological trauma

switches off, they start thinking differently.

If you as a regular kid drew blue unicorns, those

unicorns were a figment of your imagination.

In Olesya's case, it's different.

Through these drawing she is trying to reproduce her memories of reality.

Kids like her are usually very attentive when it comes to colors and details.

It's possible she saw a green woodpecker.

Where?

There are some in Moscow oblast, in the floodland oak-groves near the Klyazma river.

That narrows it down actually.

Not really. Who knows how many towns and villages are there.

What if she lived in Moscow and saw those woodpeckers at her country house?

Look, I've told you what I know. There are green woodpeckers. That's a fact.

- You don't have to shut me up. - I wasn't trying to.

No need to get all passive aggressive.

Guys, calm down, please.

- This is no time for fighting. - Fine. I'll stop bothering you.

Ed! Where are you going?

To the lab.

Oksa, why'd you do that?

Alright, doc. Let's assume that these woodpeckers exist.

Surely you don't think that the monsters exist as well?

Oksa, you are failing to understand one simple thing.

The girl has endured enormous stress.

Her subconscious mind blocked the memories.

If her parents died, it's much easier for her to think

that some kind of a monster dragged them into the lake

than accept the fact that they died and will never come back.

Besides, I think the monster appeared for a reason.

Olesya took this image and imposed it on reality.

By the way, we gotta check the Internet and see what

we can find about the lake monster called Evna.

- Are you serious? - I'm dead serious.

That's what Olesya said. A monster from the lake. It's called Evna.

It's not some run-of-the-mill water monster.

It has a name. By the way, the name seems to be slavic, right?

I don't think she made that up.

She could've heard it somewhere.

Okay then. Let's check it out.

Green woodpeckers. A monster called Evna. Is that it?

No, there's more.

Oksa found it. There's a village called Pelyn near the Klyazma river.

According to the local legend, a beast by the name Evna lives in a nearby lake.

This isn't enough.

I'm sure we'll find some clues out there.

Me and Shurik are going there right now. This case is too interesting.

- You coming with us? - No, I can't.

I'm going to see Lobanov. Managed to get an audience with the boss.

I'll try to talk him into letting us solve the case.

Kirill.

Can you go with Arkadiy instead of me?

I'd be glad to, but my son is home alone.

Alla is busy. Don't really want to leave the kid alone.

Well, I can look after Fedya after the meeting is over.

I'll watch him until you get home.

- Well, if you don't mind. - Of course I don't mind.

Arkadiy, how are you going to get the body from the bottom of the lake?

The committee will never give us a divers team based on these clues.

We got everything covered, Anastasia Vladimirovna.

One of Shurik's friends is a diver. He lent us his scuba gear.

Okay. Good luck.

Yeah. Well, this is quite a case...

Nastya, I don't have to explain this to you.

No court will accept evidence obtained under hypnosis. We need actual facts.

Allow me to open the investigation and I'll find you the facts.

We managed to get pretty far by ourselves.

But without the Committee's help sooner or later we'll reach a dead end.

Hey, I would love to help you.

But something tells me that the bosses won't support this initiative.

You see...

We need a good reason to start an official investigation.

Physical evidence.

I can't give you physical evidence. My hands are pretty much tied.

Your hands will be tied till you find some evidence.

A vicious circle, so to speak.

Yuri Kuzmich. I'm sure you can come up with something.

You are so sly, Zorina!

I'll try and do something, of course. I repeat.

I'll talk to the chief.

But honestly, Nastya, I wouldn't bet on it.

For now you'll have to rely on your enthusiasm to work on the case.

Trust me, Yuri Kuzmich...

We are very enthusiastic so far.

- I know, I know. - Thanks.

Hi, son. Have you eaten?

Don't forget to do your homework. I'll check it when I return.

Bye.

- Boy, were you just at the lake? - Nah, at the club.

- How far is the lake? - 500 meters.

Hey, is it true that there's some Evna monster in the lake?

- There are zombies and ghouls too. - We're on the right track.

Well, who's going to dive?

Good question. Who's the biggest thrill-seeker here, Shurik? That'd be you.

Listen, are you crazy? I'm afraid of water.

You can't even see the bottom. I'll start panicking.

Shurik, I'm a bit old for these experiments.

- Kirill! - Yeah.

Enough with the texting. We got a problem.

You told us you took diving courses in Turkey.

Yeah.

I'm glad I remembered that. Here, brother.

You guys are nuts.

It's been a while.

Yeah, about 30 minutes.

How much oxygen does he have?

I'm not sure.

Dr. Lemke!

Guys, the apartment is ours till 11.

- Yay! - Fedya.

- Careful. - Hello.

- Hi. - What are you doing here?

Your dad asked me to look after you, so I came.

- Goodbye. - Fedya, Fedya, wait.

I can't just leave you here. Your father will get upset.

He won't get upset. We are fine.

Hey, guys.

Hi. Why don't you two go home. It's past 8.

- Their house is 5 minutes from here! - Damn! We had such a great game.

Come on, come on. You know how to tie your shoes, right?

You think this'll be enough for Lobanov?

Cool.

Good job, Kirill.

Why are you bossing around here?

You aren't my mom.

No, I'm not. Don't get cheeky.

Your dad asked me to look after you. That's what I'm doing.

Come on, help me clean the table. Time to do homework.

You could've let him go earlier. He could look after me himself.

All you do is sit and wait till he tells you who the criminal is.

- That's what he told you? - No. Dad is defending you.

Because he loves you, probably.

I don't think so.

You wouldn't have done anything without him.

Of course, Fedya. Me, your dad and other scientists are a team.

We are solving crimes together.

For example, my job is gathering clues and then inspecting them.

So, they give you the clues and you find the criminals?

Yes, exactly.

Can't they just find the perp using the clues?

Why do they need you?

Fedya, take these books. Can you do it?

Oh, your dad is calling. Yes, Kirill.

Found it already? Wonderful.

Listen, I'll call the committee, they'll send a team.

Fedya? No, no, he's fine.

We are going to do homework. Right, Fedya?

Yeah, see you soon.

As I said, they don't need you.

Male, 35-40. Female, looks younger.

About 25. Both had their skulls cracked.

- Here. Found it near the bodies. - Yeah?

They left a murder weapon. How nice of them.

No bullet holes on the bones.

They were beaten to death.

Perhaps, using this very gun.

- Here you go. - Thanks a lot.

I really needed some tea. Just what the doctor ordered.

Why does it taste so weird?

I put a few drops of cognac in it. It should warm you up.

Yeah? Thanks.

Kirill.

I still can't believe you dove to get those bones.

Well, it is what it is. How was your meeting with the boss?

Not great, to be honest.

We didn't have the bones before, though. Now the case is officially open.

I'll find out about the gun tomorrow. Perhaps, we'll find the owner.

I see. And Fedya, did he behave himself?

- He was great. - Really?

Was he acting rude? I'll talk to him.

No, don't worry. You have an amazing son.

We had so much fun together. Honestly.

You know, Kirill, it's getting late. I gotta go.

- I can walk you home. - No, no, no. Why?

Drink your tea. And then take a hot bath to not get sick.

Nastya, thanks for looking after Fedya.

Fedya! Fedya!

Come here. Sit down, let's eat.

Nastya snitched on me already?

What? What do you mean?

Told you that I'm a difficult kid and all that...

Hey, did something happen?

She said you two had fun tonight.

That's because Nastya is a dumb hypocrite!

Hey, language!

She's also awfully boring!

- Fedya, you are completely wrong. - Why are you defending her?

Is she the reason mom left you for Lev?

Hey, I don't know anything about mom and Lev.

Me and Nastya are just colleagues and good friends.

Yeah, right. That's what she said, too.

- What's wrong? - Don't lie to me, dad.

I see that you're in love with her.

Fedya, even if I am...

That has nothing to do with our relationship.

You hear me? And don't get sassy.

Stop sending her here, then! And come home earlier!

- Yes. - Good morning.

Hi, Nastya.

How are you feeling, Kirill?

Oh, I'm fine. Tea with cognac and a hot bath work wonders.

What about the bodies?

They were both killed with a blow to the head.

Oksa is making a 3-d model of a murder weapon.

She also made preliminary sketches of our victims already.

- Really? - Yeah, here.

- So fast? - Have a look.

Let's go back to our victims.

The woman sprained her clavicle and wrist.

Broke a tooth, too. The angle is pretty weird.

It's twisted forward. Wouldn't break like that from a blow. Any progress?

I checked the gun.

It's registered to one Pyotr Glebov.

Try and guess where Pyotr resides.

- In Pelyn village? - That's right. He's 62.

He lived in that village all his life.

No criminal record.

Except for 2 priors for fighting. But that doesn't count.

Anyway, I sent Ed and Artur to that village to scope things out.

I also wanted to talk to you, Kirill.

Lobanov really wants you to check some forensic results.

He suspects that the analysis wasn't conducted thoroughly enough.

- Can you do it? - Nastya, but what about Fedya?

There's no one to sit with him.

I would be glad to help you.

But me and Fedya didn't get along.

Nastya, I'm sorry for his behavior.

It's a difficult period in his life. He is even hostile towards me.

I understand him completely. He needs love, attention, care.

I had a period like that myself.

That's why I'm so sad that I wasn't able to connect with him.

Don't be said. It's always awkward at first.

Maybe it's worth it to try once more?

You think he'll be happy to talk to me?

Olya and Shurik are planning to go roller-skating soon.

They invited me as well.

We can take Fedya with us.

I think he's going to enjoy talking to them.

- Thanks. You saved me. - Not at all.

Who are you?

Howdy. We're from the Investigation committee.

- What? - We're from the Investigation committee

What committee? Get the hell off my lawn!

Quiet! Ed, show him the picture. Do you know these people?

Who are they?

That's what we wanted to ask you. We think they used to live here.

They had a daughter named Olesya.

- Olesya? - Yes.

Let me see.

This is Mark Terekhov.

This is Katya, his wife.

They lived not far from here.

They left a long time ago. What happened?

- We're looking for their house. - The headman has the keys.

- Great. Where is he? - Here...

That's even better. By the way, they've been dead for 14 years.

All this time Olesya's been living with her foster parents.

What?

I said, all this time Olesya...

Yes, I heard you! But that's impossible! They left a long time ago!

Their bodies were found in the lake yesterday. They were killed.

Oh my god. How can that be?

Olesya said that her parents were abducted by a monster named Evna.

Ah, the lake monster.

I used to tell her these spooky stories.

She was so scared. Always went hiding under the bed.

I see. Tell me, when did they move to this village?

They brought Olesya here when she was a baby.

Initially we all thought Terekhovs were just some city weirdos.

I mean, Mark is an educated man, a professor of philosophy.

His wife was young and pretty. Why the hell would they move to the middle of nowhere?

Heard any noises coming from their house before they left?

I don't remember. Maybe I was drunk.

- I used to get really wasted. - I see.

Tell me, did Terekhovs keep guns in the house?

Guns? Well, you know...

I gave Mark a rifle. Yeah.

He was going to hunt.

I was very surprised when he didn't return it.

He looked so well-mannered. I even searched their house.

Didn't find the gun and forgot about it.

Let's get out of here. The girl isn't going anywhere.

- What if she runs away? - Where to? To the woods?

- Run! - What happened next?

I'm running out of the house.

Where are you running to?

- I don't know. I need to run. - And then what?

I'm running to the station. I see a family with children. About 5 people.

They are entering the train, I follow them.

Here's our murder weapon.

- What is this? - I don't know.

Some sort of a club or a stick. That's clearly not a gunstock.

Perhaps Glevor really gave Mark his gun?

Perhaps. Take a look.

Mark's wrist was damaged, like someone hit him hard.

To disarm him. Maybe Mark was using the gun to defend himself.

That's possible. Anyway, they got him on his knees with one hit.

Then the second hit killed him.

Katya's case is a bit different.

Yeah. Her arm was twisted to prevent her from resisting.

That's why it's twisted.

So who broke her tooth?

The tooth was broken later.

Maybe they dropped the body when trying to get rid of it.

Wait, let's go back. Two people come to Terekhovs.

They beat them up and kill them.

And their neighbours didn't hear anything?

Actually, Glebov was their only neighbour.

Ed told me Glebov used to drink a lot back then.

He was probably drunk, sleeping.

But the killers couldnt've known that.

Makes sense. They did need to shut Terekhovs up somehow.

I think one of them twisted Katya's arm and then covered her mouth.

And broke her tooth.

No, that's not how it was broken. You can see that she bit something.

A gag, maybe?

No, that was a solid object. I'd like to find it.

I think we need to take Olesya back to Terekhovs' house.

She might remember something.

She's with Arkadiy right now. They are talking. I'll go call her.

Thanks.

Well, break time. I'm going to take a nap, so...

Rest now, Oksa. Thanks. You did a great job.

Thanks.

- Anastasia Vladimirovna. - Yes.

- Can I talk to you? - Of course.

I've decided to leave the team. Here's my resignation.

But why?

I can't reconcile work and my studies.

I've been neglecting my postgraduate studies. Don't want to get dropped out.

You were managing to work and study before somehow.

- That was before, I just can't. - Ed.

Could you maybe tell me the real reason?

I just told you. Besides, it's my decision, I don't have to explain anything.

Fine.

You can leave in 2 weeks when I find a replacement.

Then you'll be free to go.

I remember this room. I had a secret stash here.

I used to hide all my treasures here.

Buttons...

These are my mom and dad.

Why, why did they need to kill them?

I'm so sorry, Olesya. I didn't know your parents.

But they didn't deserve to die like this. We'll find those who did it.

- I promise. - I was standing here.

I heard a loud pop the night they were killed.

- A shot? - Probably.

I got so scared. I was lying in my bed.

Then I came to the window... I saw them dragging my mom.

From the garage.

Let's check the garage.

The camshaft.

This looks like that murder weapon Oksa drew.

Give me back my child!

- You have no right to keep her! - Leave my house.

«We have every right to do so! We are her parents!»

«Do you know where I work?»

«There's ways and means!»

- Katya, please, I'm begging. - I told you to leave!

You have no right to keep the girl!

Olesya, I'm going to count to 3 and snap my fingers. Then you'll wake up.

One... two...

Three...

Olesya. Who were your parents talking to?

- I don't know. - But the voices...

Do you remember the killers' voices? Perhaps he was one of them?

Yes. He was.

Mom and dad were killed because of me.

We don't know that, Olesya.

They were killed because of me! My parents were killed because of me!

- How about a cup of coffee, partner? - Thanks, I needed that.

Here you go. Well, did you find out what it is?

Yes. A middle finger phalanx.

Ed was able to extract DNA from the bone. I don't know what to compare it to, yet.

Did you figure out Olesya's memories?

Nah, I got even more confused. We found a new memory.

2 days before Terekhovs were killed, some people

visited them and demanded to give back their child.

What child?

Olesya, apparently. The next logical question is: why?

I got an illogical answer for your logical question.

Even though I feel I'm going insane.

I need fresh eyes on this.

Here, look.

If you didn't know that Terekhovs were Olesya's parents...

You are asked to guess her mother from the photo. Who do you pick?

- Probably Tatyana. - Why?

Well, her eye color, hair color...

The shape of her nose and face.

You're a genius, Kirill. She looks exactly like her foster mother!

That's what I've been thinking about.

- Yeah, but that's impossible. - Let's say it's possible.

We need to match Olesya's DNA to Tatyana's.

Alright, I'll call Ed.

Do it!

- Olesya is Tatyana's daughter. - I know, so what?

Olesya is the biological daughter of Tatyana, her foster mother.

So she wasn't adopted?

In that case I don't understand anything. How did you find it out?

Olesya heard her parents talking to a couple who demanded

to give their daughter back in one of her memories.

She recognized the man's voice.

- He was one of the killers. - So?

We sent Ed to Privalovs.

To get a DNA sample.

They tried resisting, but Ed threatened them with a warrant.

The DNA test proved that Olesya is Tatyana's real daughter.

- And her husband Yaroslav is the father? - No.

In that case I don't see the connection between

Ekaterina Terekhova and Tatyana Privalova.

They went to university together.

- Under Mark Terekhov? - Yes.

But Tatyana was expelled during the 2nd year.

Then how did Olesya get to Terekhovs and who is her biological father?

That guy from her memories, maybe? The one who demanded to give her back.

No. Back then Tatyana was already married to Yaroslav.

So Yaroslav was with Tatyana when she came to Terekhovs.

If that was Yaroslav, that means he killed Terekhovs.

Because Olesya said that the man's voice was the same

But Yaroslav's fingers are all intact. Plus he's a cop.

So you think that the cop can't be a killer?

He can. To get his wife's child back.

He had an accomplice, though. It isn't too likely...

But let's assume that she bit the accomplice's finger off.

If we find that fingerless man, he'll lead us to Yaroslav.

Fine. Another question. Privalovs officially adopted Olesya.

How did they guess what foster house she was in?

The girl was found on a train, right?

They sent an APB out to all police stations.

A child went missing, looking for parents.

Yaroslav got one of the bulletins most likely.

Yes. I still don't get how she ended up with Terekhovs.

Yeah, neither do I.

Though according to the neighbour Glebov they were raising her since she was a kid.

In any case, I think Privalovs will tell us everything.

The next time we see them. Finding the fingerless man is our main goal.

- Fedya! - I'm here.

Hi, Fedya. I'm sorry I'm so late.

It's fine. Don't worry, there were no guests.

Alright, alright.

What do you have here? Finished your homework?

Yes. Look.

Alright, I'll make some dinner and check it.

Fedya, do you want to go roller-skating next weekend?

Yes! We've been planning to go!

Thing is, I won't be able to come. Nastya is inviting you.

My colleague Shurik and her sister Olga will also be there.

- I won't go with Nastya. - Why is that?

Because she annoys me.

Fedya, first impressions can be misleading.

I think you gotta give her a chance.

I don't owe anyone anything!

Fine. You are going to grandma, then.

That's not fair!

- Grandma. - Okay!

Fine, we got a deal. Alright, I'll go cook something.

There's nothing in the criminal database.

I found 10 people without a middle finger phalanx.

Half of them are in prison, another half dead.

Some of them weren't even living in Moscow 14 years ago.

I think I found something. Look.

An article from 6 years ago.

About two cops who saved a kid from the abductors.

Look at the picture carefully.

Recognize anyone?

Yep. It seems I was looking in the wrong place.

One of our colleagues came here yesterday to take a DNA sample.

We matched them and made a very interesting discovery.

Please don't. That's personal.

I will have to provide this information because

it is directly related to our investigation.

Olesya.

Thing is, Terekhovs weren't your biological parents.

Your biological mother is sitting right here.

Mom, is it true?

Alright, let's get out of here.

Calm down, Yaroslav. It's time to tell her everything.

Olesya. Olesya, my girl...

It's best if I tell you the truth instead of these people.

When I was expelled from the university, I literally ended up on the streets.

I fell in with a bad crowd. Fell in love.

He turned out to be a scumbag.

He got me into drugs, made me sell my body.

Then I got pregnant. Naturally, he didn't want me to keep the child.

He forced me to give you away.

I'm sorry! Please, I'm so sorry!

I gave you to my friend Katya.

I was really hoping to take you back.

As soon as I got back on my feet.

But I couldn't get my life back on track.

Then Katya decided to make you her real daughter.

She went to the local civil registry office and said she gave birth at home.

I couldn't tell her anything. What kind of a mother I was?

So 4 years later you changed your mind.

Yes, I did.

Because I met Yaroslav. He saved me from prison.

Olesya, I'm begging...

Don't judge mom too hard.

Times were difficult.

Terekhovs refused to give back your child.

Yes, they refused. They loved her as if she was their real daughter.

Then a tragedy struck. They disappeared.

Olesya was taken to a foster home.

Terekhovs were reported missing.

Thank god, Yaroslav helped me to find my daughter.

Our station received an APB.

Do you know what happened to them?

What happened? They left the kid and ran away!

They are crazy!

Couple of hermit philosophers!

More importantly, we managed to get Olesya back.

- They didn't leave her. They were killed. - What?

- Viktor, show your hands, please. - Why?

I'm asking you nicely for now.

Show me your hands!

How did you lose your finger?

An accident at work.

An accident, you say?

What was your finger doing in Terekhovs' garage, then?

Vitya, what does it mean?

It means that Viktor killed Mark and Ekaterina Terekhovs.

We just need to take a DNA sample to easily prove it.

You weren't alone, though. Right?

Yaroslav.

This is your chance to tell the truth to your wife and kid.

What truth? This is nonsense!

He is Evna!

- My girl, what's wrong? - He is Evna!

- Daughter... - Evna! You are Evna!

Let me try and explain everything.

You see, Olesya heard Yaroslav's voice when he came to Terekhovs to kill them.

Most likely, she even saw his face.

She blocked these memories out of fear and stress.

Replaced them with the fantasy of some monster named Evna.

Rubbish!

Tanya, don't listen to them.

How could you do it?

We didn't want to kill them.

Me and Viktor came to Terekhovs to scare them. They were packing up.

Wanted to take Olesya with them. Mark grabbed the gun.

I grabbed some pipe and hit them. It was self-defense!

It was self-defense!

Then Katya came and started screaming.

She was squealing like a... Well, it was really loud.

I tried covering her mouth.

She bit my finger off.

Can't remember anything after that.

It all happened so fast.

Tanya. Tanya.

I love you.

Everything I did, I did it for you.

- Shurik? Hi. - Hi.

Decided to work late as well?

My date with Olya got cancelled.

Still got a couple unfinished cases.

You know that Ed handed in his resignation?

Why are you telling me that?

Want me to find him a new job?

Oh, you are joking.

You thought I was going to start crying?

He's leaving because of you. You drove him to it.

Listen! Maybe it's for the best, then? He might find a job he enjoys.

- Why are you like this? - That's how I am.

You're such a bitch!

You know what, Shurik, mind your own business, you hear me?

Well, actually, he is my friend too! I care about his life!
