Please be careful.

Hi. Congratulations.

Congratulations.

-You look great. -Hello.

You won't cop out of dancing with me this time.

I don't mind. I love salsa.

-Really? -Yes.

You look so pretty.

Thank you, Mom.

-What's this? -What?

There are numbers.

Shit.

Where are you going?

-Here comes the bride. -Congratulations.

Mitia, we have a problem.

During the Levinskiy postmortem I found this capsule.

If you are watching this video it means I'm dead.

So it's high time to tell you about Fatum.

Fatum is…

The subscriber's device is turned off or out of range.

The subscriber's device is…

Captain Vershinin. Call all-points bulletin.

Dark grey SUV, number Р511…

She should have come to already.

I have come to.

Vous parlez français?

It's the language of Fermat, Descartes, and Pascal. Who are you?

Me?

I'm Fatum.

THE MOP 2

This wedding was singing and dancing…

Well?

The hot course isn't hot anymore.

No one saw or heard anything.

She wasn't stolen by aliens, after all.

I checked the room for fingerprints but…

All cameras are turned off, both outside and inside.

-The hot course isn't hot anymore. -Mitia!

But you are.

I'm sorry for this unusual manner of introduction.

I didn't have choice.

And I hate it when I don't have a choice.

So do I.

Then we'll get along famously.

You seem so sure that I'll work with you.

I'm afraid you have no choice.

Do something!

What can I do?

Anything. It concerns you, too.

It's all my fault.

Disrupting the wedding!

It wasn't done on purpose.

What wasn't?

The Mop being abducted during our wedding. It was an accident.

There is no such thing.

The Mop always says that.

What does it have to do with you?

It's about that body from the hotel.

That Levinskiy guy.

He used to work for me. Then he decided to betray me.

No one betrays me.

During the postmortem I found a capsule sewn under his skin.

Then I got a call from the restaurant regarding the banquet and…

I put the capsule in my pocket and… forgot about it.

Because of the wedding and…

Anyway, that's how it happened.

C'est la vie. It happened so.

I didn't kill him. I didn't have time.

There was a strip with numbers inside the capsule.

I gave it to the Mop.

She's good with the numbers.

Bravo. Kudos to you.

You figured out that it was just an encoded web address, link.

It must have been something important.

Levinskiy placed there all evidence he could find on me.

-Right? -Maybe.

And now Ania was kidnapped.

It's not about you.

I just didn't want this information to fall into the wrong hands.

So I had to take action.

Tell the guests to go home.

-What do you mean? -That's exactly what I mean.

-How is the search going? -Nothing so far.

I'll have my men join in.

The hot…

Another word, and your wedding night will be cancelled.

My daughter.

Yes.

I get it. They've found the car.

Well, if I really don't have a choice.

I assure you, you don't. They'll never find you here.

-Sergeant. -Don't fuss.

We need to call bomb technicians.

Maybe.

Fatum, do you have a real name? A human one.

You know, I almost got caught.

Well… That man is long gone. And this one is called…

Fatum.

Who gave you this nickname?

I gave it to myself.

In Ancient Rome, Fatum impersonated fate.

I don't believe in fate.

-Really? -Of course. Any mathematician knows

that fate is just a path

in the stochastic graph of decision-making.

I prefer calling it the Lagrange equation,

or rather the Standard Model Lagrangian. It's more accurate.

I liked it. Especially about this La… gran…

Standard Model Lagrangian. In this case it's important.

I'll have it in mind.

What if they planted a bomb in the SUV?

We'd be dead.

They probably got into another car here and left with Ania.

The numbers are fake. We checked the database.

No fingerprints. Everything was wiped off. They are pros.

They could have planted a bomb.

Tell me, Anna Nikolayevna, have you heard about… Ronald Opus?

Ronald Opus?

No.

He was an unhappy man, and on March 23, 1987,

he decided to kill himself.

So he wrote a suicide note

and jumped from the top of a ten-story building.

Stupid.

Of course, especially considering that a safety net

had been erected at the 8th floor level to protect some window washers,

so Ronald had no chance to die.

Why are you telling me this?

Because he died after all.

As he passed the 9th floor on the way down,

he was shot through a window.

Of course, no one was trying to kill him.

An elderly couple on the 9th floor was fighting.

The man took a shotgun and shot his wife, missed,

and hit the unlucky Ronald.

What do you say? Does fate not exist?

What does Lagrange think about it?

That's interesting.

I don't know what Lagrange would say.

Actually, these

are called the Fermi problems.

What country did it happen in?

The US.

When was the first shotgun made?

This I do know. In 1893.

In '93…

Why do we need that?

I wanted to calculate the probability

of the shot taking place in this 0.32 second.

But for this I'd need to know the distribution of all shots

from all shotguns in 100 years, which is obviously irregular.

We can do it in a different way. Do you have a marker?

Yes, sure.

Klaus! Please bring us a marker.

Yes, a black one, please.

Where did you study German?

It doesn't matter.

I hope you will tell me eventually.

Hardly.

So.

What do we have?

The world's first wedding where no one got drunk and no one got hit.

What about the case?

It's never late to hit someone.

Between family, so to say.

Can you translate it for me?

Translate it?

It means that the probability of this is very small.

0.2 picopercents.

I won't even ask what pico- means.

Do you know what nano is?

Yes.

Well, this is 1,000 times smaller.

I have my explanation.

I'll explain again.

Fate was invented by people who know nothing about mathematics.

I suggest that you accept your fate,

even if you don't believe in it.

And…

start with a cup of coffee.

Klaus, dear, make us two coffees, please.

-Hello. -Hi.

Congratulations on your wedding.

-Thanks. -Thank you for coming.

You grew so tall. Were you at the camp? Three sessions?

Two.

Camp fires, dancing, girls…

It was a math camp.

No girls, then?

What happened to Anna Nikolayevna. How was she kidnapped?

They turned off the cameras, got her into the car, and drove away.

They abandoned the car, wiped off the fingerprints.

The car was stolen a week ago. The license plates were fake.

Dead end.

Katia.

When did you find the capsule?

Mom found it around 1:50, because the ceremony was to start at 2.

Yes. The ceremony was to start at 2

and started at 2:05 or 2:10.

Then everybody was hugging and kissing for 20 minutes,

cheering and greeting you.

At 14:30 I found out Ania wasn't there.

No one could have known that your mother found the capsule.

Accordingly, Ania was kidnapped about 40 minutes after the capsule was found.

What's your conclusion?

The conclusion is

that no one would be able to organize a kidnapping in 40 minutes.

So the capsule has nothing to do with it? Was it just an accident?

They don't exist.

Whoever they are, they were planning the kidnapping thoroughly.

They were following Ania.

But your mother finding the capsule – that was an accident.

Which doesn't exist.

Danke, Klaus.

Danke.

Jamaica Blue Mountain. I love it.

I know.

I know everything about you.

You were born…

Let's not talk about age. You are a charming woman,

but I'm more interested in you as a mathematician.

A genius mathematician.

Your gift first became evident in college,

when you proved a particular case of Cauchy theorem. Is that right?

Your proof of a particular case of Cauchy theorem

is out of this world.

You have a great future ahead of you.

But your career went astray.

As far as I know,

the reason was that ridiculous episode with professor Schastlivtsev.

I was told you beat him at poker,

and he took his revenge.

Yes, a hideous revenge.

You lost your job and had to become a schoolteacher, with your gift.

Why had to? I wanted to work at a school.

Also, you broke up with your fiancé then.

Sergey Inin, is that correct?

Ania…

Maybe.

A few years later he was killed.

He deserved it.

Dumping a woman like you?

But I'm interested in you as a mathematician, not as a woman.

You were able to prove that you didn't kill him or other serial killer's victims

while still being hold up in a cell.

Am I correct?

Can I ask you something? I'm really interested.

Which method did you use?

Cluster analysis and data interpolation.

Amazing.

I don't know anything about mathematics, though.

Also, you met Nikolay Vershinin, right?

At first he was trying to send you to jail, but then you and him…

I'm not going to go into your private life

with captain Vershinin.

42, SAUNA ALLEY

You need to check all cases Ania was involved in.

Maybe one of those who were convicted thanks to her is seeking revenge.

I'll do it. Is there a better way to spend the wedding night?

-Mitia? -I'll help you.

Is there a better way to spend your wedding night?

Katia.

Yes.

This isn't how I pictured my daughter's wedding.

Dad, everything's fine. Tell Mom it's fine.

If you have any news…

I'll let you know.

I'll go get drunk.

It's my daughter's wedding, after all.

The casino winnings case.

You took revenge on Schastlivtsev who had ruined your career.

I didn't take revenge on anyone.

Yes.

Schastlivtsev got 12 years maximum security, and he's still there.

I started studying with Anna Nikolayevna then.

You wouldn't even look at me then.

Whatever.

-But here you and I were already… -The Golden Ratio case.

Do you really believe that everything in life is ruled by these numbers

and the golden ratio?

It has nothing to do with belief. It's a fact.

Of medicine?

Of mathematics.

It's probably the most famous sequence in the world. The Fibonacci numbers.

Each number is the sum of the two preceding ones.

It's easy to remember. Fibonacci sounds like something from an Italian menu.

Focaccia, carpaccio, Fibo…

…naccio.

…cci.

…cci.

I am no subject of your Fibonaccis.

I am no subject to anything or anyone.

There is no one to be after her in that case.

Remember how we moved in together?

The Pinsker case.

-Is it when I was kidnapped? -Yes.

By the way, in connection with this loser Pinsker's case,

I was going to ask: have you proved that Riemann Hypothesis or what it's called?

Anna Nikolayevna.

I'm asking whether you've proved the Riemann Hypothesis already.

No. Too many distractions.

We can rule out Pinsker. After serving his time here,

he went back to England and was convicted for a blue-collar crime.

The bank theft case was rather primitive.

Yes. I made a mistake which almost cost…

And the one with your ex getting…

you know.

The time when your ex showed up?

The time when I almost died.

That's because she showed up.

Maybe your ex kidnapped the Mop?

Mitia, please shut up.

Why not? She was jealous and…

Mitia, please shut up.

The cause of the missing floor, now… I liked it. The scale of it!

This is where the goddamned capsule with number comes in.

I especially liked that they killed Levinskiy.

Even if it was an accident.

There is no such thing.

You know what is strange?

What?

Has Anna Nikolayevna ever use the word Fatum?

In a conversation or by the phone.

Katia, has the general ever mentioned Fatum to you?

Fatum? No.

Fatum means something like fate, right?

Dad doesn't believe in this kind of things.

As you can see, I know everything about you.

I know nothing about you, and I don't want to.

Except for one thing: why the hell did you start all this?

Can't you guess?

Of course I can.

You are a petty criminal,

and now you'll ask me to do something you can't.

You're right.

Except that I'm not petty at all. Don't insult me.

One day, when we become friends, I'll tell you all about myself.

Then you'll understand the scale.

Please spare me.

What do you want?

I want you to work for me.

I count on a long and fruitful alliance,

and believe me, you won't regret it.

And if I refuse?

Then you'll regret it. You'll regret it a lot.

Will you kill me?

I'm afraid I won't have a choice.

-As I said… -Yes, I remember.

Okay. I've had my coffee, and now I should go.

God…

It's stuffy in here.

Yes.

The Jamaica Blue Mountain perfectly masks the taste of the poison.

What?

There was poison in your cap.

You'll die in two hours.

If, of course, you don't agree to work on me.

Thank you.

Nikolay Vladimirovich, this is what you asked for.

Thank you, Tania.

What's this?

Security video from nearby houses.

They didn't turn them off in the entire city, just around Leonardo.

-That's smart. -Let's get to it.

What are we looking for?

An SUV. The driver was wearing a mask,

and there was a bespectacled man in the passenger seat.

Do you suggest to check everyone wearing glasses?

There are hundreds of cars here. The Glasses could have switched seats.

-Or take off his glasses. -And the driver – his mask.

Let's do something!

Dad, calm down.

It's you they could kill just like that. Or him.

Anna Nikolayevna is alive. They need her for something.

Anna Nikolayevna, how are you?

Weak in the legs? Dizzy?

Don't worry, it's just…

Klaus. Please damp this.

It's just the signs of the poison getting into your bloodstream.

Yes.

Danke.

You'll feel better in a couple minutes.

Hey, no abrupt movements!

It'll make the poison spread faster.

Please.

All right. Good.

Dad, don't worry.

The Mop will think of something.

Anna Nikolayevna.

-See, he is all right. -The hell I am, Mitia.

You shouldn't get agitated.

It's you who can't get agitated, darling. You are pregnant, not me.

No one should get agitated.

Okay. These are cameras near our house.

If they were watching Ania, and they definitely were,

the same car will be seen here and there.

This is something.

Anna Nikolayevna, you have no reasons to worry.

You won't die sooner than in two hours.

Actually…

We can do something about it.

Klaus, do we have the antidote?

Sorry, can you bring the pills?

We have the antidote.

I can give it to you if you agree to work for me.

Thanks, Klaus.

What do you say, Anna Nikolayevna?

There are two pills. One will save you, the other will kill you immediately.

At first I wanted to make them different colors.

You know, red and blue, like The Matrix.

Matrix? What does linear algebra have to do with it?

Haven't you seen The Matrix?

I don't remember.

The wizard offers the hero two pills, a red one and a blue one,

and says, "You take the red pill, you stay in Wonderland,

and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.

You take the blue pill, the story ends".

What does the hero choose?

The red one, of course. Haven't you seen the movie?

I don't have time for movies.

That's right, you don't have time.

Maybe you need the figures to realize it.

Next stage.

Look. One hour and forty-three minutes.

Forty-two now.

You've wasted already…

18 minutes of your life.

There are hundreds of cars.

You mean thousands.

I could write a program to isolate objects from the video stream.

I read a little about computer sight.

But for this we need to find a neuronet that has already been train.

We don't have the time or resources to write the program ourselves.

Then we'll normalize the image, calculate the perceptive hash

and find some matches if we're lucky.

And if we aren't?

The images are noisy.

The net gives too many decoys.

But… I'll try.

Try.

People who made this poison assured me that it doesn't affect mental abilities,

up to the moment of death.

Shall we test it?

Jons?

How did you get my laptop?

I thought it would be easier for you.

It has your program on it, enabling you to hack any website.

Right. This laptop has the program with the numbers sieve algorithm.

with exponential complexity for classifying such numbers.

It is usually used for…

Anna Nikolayevna. Anna Nikolayevna!

I feel you are trying to tell me to go to hell right now.

I need you to hack into this bank

and transfer the money to these accounts.

The clock is ticking.

I can't. It isn't working.

I can't do anything without Anna Nikolayevna.

What if something happens to her?

First of all, son, calm down.

Second, we shouldn't give up.

Third, Ania knows we'll do anything to find her.

And we will find her.

Got it?

Got it.

You know, I feel better now. I think you're bluffing.

To conceal the information about yourself,

all you needed was to destroy the damaging information they published.

But you need me.

-Yes. -And you need me alive.

What good would I do you dead?

I think those people lied to me,

and the poison does affect mental abilities.

You don't know me very well.

I don't care about the human race in its entirety

or any member of it.

Except for yourself.

Of course.

And you are a charming woman and a math genius.

As I said, if your die in one hour and twenty-six minutes,

I'll feel sincerely sorry for you

for the whole 15 or 20 seconds.

But I assure that,

after that I'll eat with appetite and find someone else

to do what I need.

Maybe less of a genius or less charming,

but I will.

You have another hour and 25 minutes.

Go ahead.

SATURDAY, JUNE 17

I found it. Here he is.

We need to search the database.

Katia, call the general. Let him check his.

He was at our house. After the kidnapping.

Don't think that I forced you, Anna Nikolayevna.

I know no one in this world can force anyone else

do something they don't want to do.

I had a friend in Paris.

A great apartment with a luxurious kitchen.

So one day one of the cabinets' doors gets broken.

His wife kept nagging him, "Fix this door!"

It had been going for years…

Do you want me to hack the bank for you?

Then stop talking. You are distracting me.

Better bring me coffee. No poison, please.

Why is it taking so long?

The Mop was going to work on it more.

Why don't we go to your place, since they had been there?

What for? To make sure they don't leave traces?

Your coffee. No poison.

How are we doing?

I have a little more than an hour if you aren't lying. Sit down.

Let's hope the secret service has a better database.

Let's.

MIRROR. TRANSACTION COMPLETED

What the hell?

Get to work.

No matches found.

What do you have?

Nothing.

BATH BESOMS PURCHASED

What the hell?

How is Mom?

Worried.

Vitia, take a look. The bank is going crazy.

It says I bought some mirror and bath besoms.

You need to call the bank and block the card.

Not now. Now isn't the time.

Let's work.

Anna Nikolayevna, how are you doing?

I'm worried about you.

In ten minutes, the effects of the poison will become stronger.

You are so thoughtful.

ALUMINUM LADDER, 7 RUNGS. PURCHASED

Dad, you've just bought an aluminum ladder. Seven rungs.

Also, a mop. Self-wringing, with telescopic handle.

What have I bought?

A self-wringing mop with telescopic handle.

It's Ania.

Give it to me.

Done.

I need to get a confirmation.

Let's wait. We have 51 minutes.

She is trying to tell us something.

A set of birch besoms and caps for sauna.

Sauna Street… Sauna Alley!

-The place where she is being held. -Forty-four items.

-House number. -That's right.

A floor mirror.

Mirror. A reflection. Opposite…

Opposite number 42.

What else is there?

-Seven-rungs ladder. -Seventh floor.

That's right. They are keeping her on the seventh floor.

Anything else?

A mop.

It's her signature. For the morons.

Great.

I have my confirmation.

Great job.

Genius!

I know. A math genius and a charming woman.

Right turn at the traffic light.

For some reason you think I'm an idiot.

I have remote access to your notebook

with all your purchases with Vershinin's credit card.

Right turn in 300 meters.

Bath besoms, 42 items. A mirror.

A seven-rungs ladder.

Anna Nikolayevna, you are a genius.

And your signature self-wringing mop with a telescopic handle.

Now left turn, but it's no entry. It'd save us one minute.

You're a genius about mathematics, but you know nothing about people.

I'm no idiot.

You can call me a lunatic, a crazy person.

I won't even argue. But I'm not dumb.

7, SAUNA ALLEY

Okay, Vitia, you are staying here. No discussion. It's too dangerous.

You think you are in the Sauna Alley.

I let you figure out this address.

You know you can't trust people.

You can't trust figures, either.

Take a look for yourself.

14, SADOVAYA ST

I knew you'd try to trick me,

so I tricked you.

What is it?

Kolia?

Anna Shvabrina is at 14, Sadovaya St, 7th floor.

Hurry. You need to administer the antidote in time.

42, SAUNA ALLEY

14, SADOVAYA ST.

I put up that poster for you to see.

Dad? Dad, where are you going?

Dad?

Where are you going, Dad?

You will die in 16 minutes.

You can't blame me for it.

By the way, I don't care anyway.

It's your fault.

You can have your beliefs, but you should stick to them.

If you honestly agreed to work for me, you'd still be alive.

But you still have a small chance.

I left a detailed instruction regarding the antidote to your Vershinin.

I hope he'll make it in time.

By the way, I haven't finished the story about my Paris friend.

So his wife was trying to make him fix that cabinet door.

Instead, he bought a new apartment with a new kitchen.

It proves that if a person doesn't want to do something,

no one can force them.

Why am I telling you this?

Vershinin. I really hope he'll make it in time

and you will live.

Then I'll definitely see you again.

If not, well, it's fate.

Fatum.
