Original subtitles

Now Vershinin will call you

and say that Permikina was shot by a quadcopter.

Get down!

Go ahead.

Yes?

Got it.

No, everything's fine.

As I've told you before, I don't allow to betray me.

Please have it in mind in the future.

What's wrong with you?

You were supposed to say you and I have no future,

and you will never work for me.

Am I right?

Let's say I am.

I would say to that that I admire your success

in exposing my little prank with the Gradient Bank

and that I'm not even mad at you for blocking the money flow for me.

The reason is that you and I are meant to work together.

And this is what is going to happen.

Do you know why I am so certain? It's simple.

I need you.

Also, because the Gradient was hacked from your personal computer,

and the bulk of the stolen money was being converted to bitcoin

through an account set up for Nikolay Vershinin.

Here are all the details.

Don't be in a hurry.

Everything is fine.

Access the situation.

Access the consequences of your refusal.

We'll talk more after that.

Don't worry about your coffee.

I've paid for it.

I invited you here, after all.

Hello?

THE MOP 2

Anything else?

What?

I asked if you wanted anything else.

No.

No, wait, I do. Vodka.

-What kind? -Are there different kinds?

Yes.

Well… I rely on your taste.

How much? Fifty grams, a hundred?

Surprise me.

Give me three glasses and a bottle of vodka.

Waiter.

Excuse me.

A perfect storm.

What did you say?

A perfect storm.

Your vodka.

Oh? I don't drink.

Katia is finishing the postmortem.

Come on. You couldn't have known.

I couldn't have, but I should have.

Vodka?

Vodka?

Bring it on.

Anna Nikolayevna, can I do something to help?

Yes. Bring your laptop.

Got it.

Listen… When we catch this Fatum…

Well, when or if.

Mitia, it isn't when or if. It's when.

Okay, when.

Will you punch him at once or…

I have news. Two pieces of news.

Bad news and good news?

Who said there are good new?

Okay, what is it?

The internal investigation have started a case regarding Permikina's death.

That should be expected. What else?

Inna Vinner is in charge of the group.

Inna, please don't be angry at me. I just…

Kitchen maids get angry.

I'm a police officer.

-I… -You've made your choice.

Inna, you…

Have you brought me flowers to say goodbye?

I…

wanted it to be beautiful.

Are you for real?

Breaking up with someone can't be beautiful, Vershinin.

You know that.

Now go.

Bye.

Wait. Is she your ex?

Inna?

Yes. The investigator.

Yes, Mitia.

It's very bad news.

Five. Four.

Forty-seven. Twenty-three.

The twentieth of the sixth…

Thank you. Forty-eight, fifty-nine…

Hi, everyone.

Hi, Dad.

Hi, Vitia.

Do we have something to eat?

Sausage with cheese?

Are you okay?

Everything's fine.

Here.

How long has she been like this?

Long enough.

-What is she writing? -E-wallets for bitcoins.

Vitia, I have heard of bitcoins, but I don't understand what they are.

-Can you explain? -Funny is it is, in fact, it's nothing.

Digital coins people pay crazy money for.

I don't understand.

Okay, here goes.

Remember how we went to the village a couple years ago?

There was that shop assistant… What was her name?

Granny Sveta.

She had this ledger to keep track of the customer's credit.

Right.

See? These wallets are like that ledger.

-And where is the money itself? -Nowhere. It's all in the ledger.

Sounds like bullshit.

It is, but it works as long as people trust Granny Sveta.

And she is the richest and most influential person.

Granny Sveta isn't the richest one, but she is the most influential.

Kolia, where were you at 5:47 p.m. on the ninth?

Hell if I know.

Yes…

But Fatum says you were setting up a currency exchange account.

Well, if that's what Fatum says…

Wait, did you see him?

And you used this account

to transfer the money stolen from the bank.

He doesn't even know what an account is.

Wait. I know what an account is, for starters.

Also, you didn't answer my question. Did you see him? Ania?

Where? When?

When you called me to say Permikina was killed.

Was he here?

No.

At the café.

He turned off the power, I went down to get a coffee.

-He had Permikina killed. -I know.

What did he want from you?

To work for him.

If I say no, he'll set you up.

All these papers are registered on you. You'll go to jail.

-Let him get in the line. -What do you mean?

The internal investigations will start looking into my actions

in the Gradient Bank case tomorrow.

We had checked all the spots the shot might have come from,

even though we didn't have much time.

I was confident about the safety.

And still, Permikina got killed,

in spite of your confidence.

Captain Vershinin…

What can you tell me about the death of Svetlana Permikina?

She died.

Kolia, are you stupid?

I can understand it that you don't want to help me.

But why don't you want to help yourself?

-How long have they been there? -Over an hour.

I'm sorry, I need to update Captain Vershinin on my lab results.

Can I go back to work? Am I suspended?

I haven't decided yet.

First I'll need to question everyone on the team, including you,

and then I'll make a decision.

Meanwhile, am I free to go?

You are… so far.

Lieutenant Sosnovskaya.

Or is it Goncharenko now?

No. I decided to keep my maiden name.

Katia.

You shouldn't treat me like this.

Neither should Vershinin.

I'm just doing my work.

Please tell him this.

Okay, I will.

Kolia.

I ran the bullets Permikina was killed with through the database.

-So there actually are lab results? -Yes.

I thought you invented it to get me out of there.

Actually, it's not in my job description.

One week ago, a bullet like this one killed Grigoriy Slobodkin.

Engineer at Power Substation 19.

-The guy who was found in the empty lot? -Yes.

But there's more.

One month ago, Irina Vygorodskaya was killed with an identical bullet.

-The reporter. -Yes.

Right. We wondered how someone managed to shoot her on a 14th-floor balcony.

Why didn't we compare the bullets then?

The special department took over the Vygorodskaya case.

-General Sosnovskiy? -General Sosnovskiy.

Vygorodskaya was rather famous.

-When were the murders committed? -One month ago, as I said.

The dates. I need the exact dates.

Okay.

Irina Vygorodskaya was killed on the 24th of last month.

-The other guy? -On the eighth this month. Why?

Bullets don't kill people.

People kill people.

This is him. Your killer. Or rather his e-wallet.

Look.

Transactions of $10,000 to this account three days before each of the murders.

But the sums are different.

It's in bitcoin. Check the exchange rate for those days. It is $10,000.

-A prepayment? -Rather a down payment.

In both cases, another $10,000 were transferred after the murders.

See? For the engineer, it's at 12:30 p.m. on the eight.

For Vygorodskaya, at 9:12 p.m. also on the day of her murder.

In both cases, it's less than an hour after the murders.

I wouldn't delay the payment to a contractor like this, either.

And Permikina?

With Permikina, it was an obvious emergency.

See? The entire sum, $20,000, was transferred on the day of the murder.

Before or…

-At 2:40 p.m. -Before, then.

There is another payment.

A down payment on the 15th last month

and the rest at 5:40 p.m. on the 18th.

Mitia, what do we have for the 18th?

Nothing, I think.

If they paid the entire sum, there must have been a murder.

I'll go call Anton.

-Make me a cup of coffee, too. -Okay.

-Did you call me? -It's not like that.

I asked you to come.

Pavel Nikolayevich.

I shouldn't, of course,

but can I be honest with you?

Yes, sure.

-Do you mind if I have a smoke? -Actually, yes.

But if you insist…

Never mind.

I'm on duty, after all.

We didn't have much time,

but we did check all the vantage points a shot could be made from.

There were our men at the location,

and we were 100% certain she was safe.

Right.

Captain Vershinin said this already.

Pavel Nikolayevich,

you know what the internal investigations' purpose is.

Internal investigations, I suppose.

That's right.

And any investigation has to bring results.

Find a culprit.

Are you following?

It's not hard to follow.

Well, if you do, why don't you tell me who it is?

Who is what?

The culprit.

It can't be lieutenant Sosnovskaya,

because she is general Sosnovskiy's pregnant daughter.

Senior lieutenant Goncharenko

is the husband of general Sosnovskiy's pregnant daughter.

Which leaves you and captain Vershinin.

So I'm asking you who it is.

Take your time and get back to me.

Well… There is one more option.

This Mop of yours.

She isn't officially employed by the police,

but if you and Vershinin sign statements

promising to refrain from involving this Mop in your future cases,

I believe the internal investigations department

will be satisfied.

Nothing.

Twenty precincts – and nothing.

Not a single unsolved murder for the 18th.

Nothing in the morgues, either.

I mean no unidentified or unclaimed bodied with gunshot wounds.

I don't have anything.

Hello, Pavel Nikolayevich.

Everyone's here.

How is this inspector?

I hope we'll survive her.

And if we don't?

Then we don't.

What's this?

These two people were killed with bullets similar to Permikina's case.

Slobodkin and Vygorodskaya.

I think so, too.

Ania found a e-wallet

Fatum transferred the payment for murders to.

Why an e-wallet?

All operations were conducted in bitcoin to make it impossible to trace them.

There was another payment on the 18th.

There should be a body, too, but we haven't found it yet.

Either we don't look hard enough, or Anna Nikolayevna…

Do you remember a case where Anna was wrong?

No.

Is there a connection between these two crimes?

Fatum, at the very least.

He paid for these murders.

The Vygorodskaya case was taken over by general Sosnovskiy.

Do the victims have anything in common?

No. We couldn't find a connection.

Sosnovskiy doesn't take my calls.

I called him this morning and left a message.

The connection…

I don't mean the phone.

An implication.

Ania, in human speak, I'm begging you.

It's a binary logic connective. We have only gone through the first round.

Family, work, friends, hobbies, fitness.

Yes, and there was no overlapping.

We need to make the computer look at it from a different angle.

These data aren't enough.

Pavel Nikolayevich, I need everything you have on these people.

Social networks, credit history, phone billing, texts.

It's illegal.

Absolutely illegal.

Again, it's absolutely illegal and unacceptable.

-Is that clear? -Yes.

Thank you.

I got your message.

Anna Nikolayevna, what are you going to do with all that?

In case you'd get all these data.

I'd try to apply the Ratcliff/Obershelp algorithm.

Search engines use similar algorithms for contextual advertising.

I'd also need to calculate the Sørensen-Dice

used to gauge the similarity of two samples.

Well… Here is a simple example.

"Mom washed a window" vs "Window was washed by Mom".

These phrases sound different but mean the same.

A correctional analysis will show no crossplot,

but any semantic metrics will give a 100% match.

I think so.

Okay.

Let's try it.

Get ready. My driver will take you.

Explain to my stallions everything you have just told us.

-To whom? -My stallions. Tit for tat.

Well, this is going to be hard.

I don't speak horse.

But I can try tit for tat.

Nikolay.

No, you're going alone.

Anna Nikolayevna, hello.

I'm Aleksey, the driver. The car is waiting. Come with me.

Right.

-Can I take your bag? -No, thank you. I've got it.

Hi.

Hi, Inna.

Nice blouse. The color is great on you.

Thank you.

Anna Nikolayevna, can you and I have a chat some time?

Maybe at a nice café.

A chat is a good word.

I don't like to chat. I'm in a hurry, excuse me.

We'll turn on the generators and open the turnpike.

-What, again? -Yes.

Some trouble at the substation. This is the tenth time in a week.

Oh! It's back.

Hello, Anna.

My name is Kirill Poliakov.

Come with me.

Hello. Let's go.

Careful.

Where are we, anyway?

I'd say nowhere.

This place isn't on the maps.

You have never been here, by the way.

Come in.

Well…

Your nowhere looks nice.

At least the equipment.

It's freezing cold, though.

There is 2.500 square meters of servers behind this wall.

They need to be cooled.

Do you store all the data there?

No. Only the hot ones,

for the last two weeks and for people we're interested in.

The rest we shard and send to cold servers.

What do you store?

Everything. We have copies of all texts, phone conversations,

bank transactions, CCTV video, social networks, etc.

Isn't it illegal?

It doesn't exist, remember?

What's behind this door?

The Blue Beard's room.

The general allowed showing you everything

except for this room.

So who is this Slobodkin

and why did Fatum kill him?

Fatum moves in a mysterious way.

An engineer, 40, no criminal record, single.

No witnesses of the murder.

Nothing at all.

There is and there isn't.

We know he was killed on Fatum's orders.

We just need to know why. That's it.

Do you have data on me, too?

Of course. But it's not why you're here.

No. I need everything on Vygorodskaya. She was a reporter.

I know who she was. We've already run a check.

Okay, come in.

She hadn't used her phone much in the last three months,

didn't go out a lot and rarely used credit cards.

And the internet?

She used an anonymizer.

And?

Alas, we can't trace the traffic through onion routing.

Too bad.

You probably get your salary here, too.

-Of course. -That's very bad.

Do you have access to search engines' logs?

Yes, but not foreign ones.

I need all incoming packages from her computer.

All search engines incoming packages

for the three months before she was killed.

What are you going to do with them?

Do you know what Bentley-Ottmann algorithm is?

The crossing intervals.

Got it. I think.

Well…

The general always says you're smart as hell.

Well, that's not how he puts it,

but you are smart as hell.

It says it'll take eight hours.

I believe it'll be longer than that.

So take a seat.

No, I'd better go.

Call me when it's completed.

Okay. Call you where?

Ask the Blue Beard. You have all my information.

Wait. I'll see you out.

They pay me salary here, after all.

No. This way.

That's what she said.

Turn over the Mop, and everything will be fine.

She wants to get back at Vershinin.

Keep your socks on. I said I'd take care of it.

-Yes? -Boris Mikhaylovich, we're here.

Okay, Liosha.

They've brought her back.

I hope the algorithm will calculate it by tomorrow

and I'll be able to tell you something about the reporter.

Anna Nikolayevna.

They say you're using some fancy algorithm.

-So you've got a report already. -That's how it works.

Yes, I used the Bentley-Ottmann algorithm.

My guys were saying something

about onion routing.

Either they are dumb or I am. Could you explain it to me?

Here is a rough analogy.

Remember Dovlatov's phrase about the 4,000,000 anonymous reports to KGB?

Yes.

So we have requests coming through various proxy servers,

which are also anonymous,

but the results of the reports tell us who wrote them.

Someone got arrested, someone got a room that became vacant.

Someone was fired, and someone else was promoted.

-Are you following? -I'm beginning to.

This is what our algorithm does, roughly speaking.

Thank you. I love Dovlatov.

Mitia.

Mitia, wake up. Come on!

What happened? Are you in labor?

It's not funny.

Another order for murder has been placed. The Mop called.

An order isn't a murder.

Wake me up if someone gets killed. Or if you are in labor.

Mitia. She said it wasn't a down payment

but the entire sum.

It means a murder can happen at any moment.

Get up!

Yes, I'm coming.

Hi. If it's about coffee, I've already bought it.

Four double espressos.

-Three. -Why three? Where is the Mop?

At home, waiting for her algorithm to complete.

Got it.

We'll be there soon.

Hurry up.

-Yes? -Morning, Anna Nikolayevna.

The algorithm has completed.

I'll be at your place in 20 minutes.

What are you reading so vehemently?

How to Keep Your Husband Interested while You Are Pregnant?

I'm reading on drones.

It appears there are tricopters, quadcopters, octocopters,

and the modern FPV drones.

FPV dr--

Like this one?

Do you want to watch it?

Oh yes.

But I want something salty even more.

Got it.

It's nice off you to come pick me up but it wasn't necessary.

I could have taken a cab.

You don't understand, Anna Nikolayevna.

You can't take a cab to our place.

The GPS won't find us.

We don't exist.

Right.

-Do we have power yet? -No, it's still off.

Again? What the hell is going on here?

We called for a refill. They'll be here soon.

Okay.

I see.

That's clear.

Again, Object 298. And what's this?

What is Object 298?

Lieutenant Goncharenko. Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Are you a cop?

Yes.

Why don't you do anything? You should make an arrest.

Arrest the drone? It is gone.

A drone like this put my friend in the hospital.

Was he shot?

A broken arm.

How did the drone do it?

It flew to his windshield on the highway and splashed something on it.

Vasia's car careened of the road. Thank God the tank didn't explode.

When did it happen?

On the 18th.

A down payment on the 15th last month and the rest at 5:40 p.m. on the 18th.

Mitia, what do we have for the 18th?

Nothing, I think.

If they paid the entire sum, there must have been a murder.

Are you sure?

Think. It's important.

Yes. I visited him at the hospital. It was on the 18th.

Who knew it would happen to me, too?

Just relax. It's bad for you to get yourself all wound up.

I know.

Over 20 mentions. The emails, too.

Kirill, you don't know or you can't tell me?

He can't.

Hi.

Neither can I. But I will.

Katia and I found that murder on the 18th. Actually, it isn't a murder.

A drone for some reason splattered a solar oil tank's windshield,

and it went off the road. The same thing happened today.

What thing?

Another drone, or rather the same one, and a gasoline tanker going off the road.

The same shipper?

Pal, does your Vasia work for the same firm?

Yes. It says SolBest on the truck.

Yes. SolBest. Why does it matter?

I don't know.

We need to tell Ania.

Object 298.

That was the name of a data storage.

It doesn't matter where they were. They are here now.

The Blue Beard's room?

What?

That's what I called it.

What are these documents?

You don't want to know. Nobody needs to know.

I, for one, don't.

No, seriously.

Boris Mikhaylovich.

I wonder how the reporter knew about Object 298.

That's not what I want to know.

When Fatum found out that the reporter had information on Object 298,

he ordered her killed. Why?

Maybe because she wanted to make it public.

So he decided to protect the secrecy around Object 298.

But it's our job.

I didn't order to kill the reporter.

Did you?

No, sir.

Good. I mean, bad.

I get scared when I don't understand something.

It's Nikolay.

Yes. Can I put you on the speaker?

The general is here.

Mitia and Katia found out what happened on the 18th.

We were looking for a bullet, but there was no shooting.

What happened, then?

The copter flew in front of a gasoline tanker's windshield

and made the driver to go off the road. The driver broke his arm.

Today it happened to another car carrying solar oil.

Wait. Was it the same firm?

Yes. SolBest.

SolBest.

Interesting.

It's not just interesting. It's weird.

-Do you understand what's going on? -Not yet. I don't know.

I need to think. Let me call you back later.

Okay.

Anna Nikolayevna.

Maybe these crimes aren't connected.

Waiter!

-I think this calls for a bottle. -Right. Vodka.

Yes, vodka. Kirill, bring some.

No, no. I don't drink. It's a perfect storm.

-What storm? -A perfect one.

What would you do

if the information on this classified facility leaked to the press?

I'd relocate it at once.

That explains why Fatum killed the reporter.

He wanted the documents to stay here. He is hunting these documents.

Which substation provides you with power?

Substation 19.

One week ago, a bullet like this one killed Grigoriy Slobodkin.

Engineer at Power Substation 19.

The engineer who was killed used to work at Substation 19.

Fatum probably has inserted his man in his place.

-Does the generator work on solar oil? -Yes.

And the supplier is the same. SolBest.

Reinforce the security immediately.

Yes, sir.

Too late.

They are jamming the comm.

Boris Mikhaylovich, you know what to do.

Let's get out of here.

Guys, weapons at the ready.

Follow me.

Man your stations.

This way.

Yes?

They won't get in.

I hope.

Fire in the hole!
