TAXI

And I promised myself I’d never come back here...

I am Marta. Please come in.

Your father didn’t allow me to clean up here.

When your father got sick, I told him to call you.

And when it became really bad, I even insisted,

but he refused point blank and told me not to call as well.

And the day before his death...

it looked like he felt something.

He tried to call you several times but didn’t gather up the courage.

So you weren’t on good terms with your father?

When is the funeral? Day after tomorrow?

Yes.

And tomorrow there is a meeting with the notary.

Here, your documents for the apartment.

I’ll write you a power of attorney. You’ll have to sell the apartment

and transfer the money to any charity fund.

And no banquet.

Just the funeral.

But I already booked a restaurant.

Then cancel the booking. Have you rented the house?

-Yes. -Just the way I asked?

Well, yes...

Here are your keys.

Do you have any more questions for me?

No.

Goodbye.

Wait! I totally forgot, please wait. There’s a letter...

Which letter?

In a blue envelope.

It was here... but now it is not.

Which letter?

Your father asked me to give you a letter. I put it here.

Now it’s gone.

The letter was taken by a man between 65 and 70 years of age,

with bald patches.

He had a worn-out woolen sweater on.

-Johann? -Who is Johann?

A friend of your father’s.

He often visited him.

This morning he also came to express his condolences.

-Do you know his phone number? -Yes, just a second.

Here.

But Johann is a nice person, a doctor.

He’d never take something that doesn’t belong to him.

Coming, coming.

-He isn’t answering. -He’s probably already in bed.

Shit!

Damn.

Lebedev, sit down.

Oh, it’s you.

Hi.

Hello.

Let’s not waste time.

We’ll remind everyone present

that when a dangerous criminal S.G. Shuvygin,

alias Professor, was arrested, colonel Lebedev used firearms.

Shuvygin had two firearm injuries and died from those on the spot, right?

There were three shots made.

According to colonel Lebedev, the first shot was made into the air.

A warning shot...

According to the instruction.

According to ballistic expert assessment conducted by your employee

Barsyuk Anatoliy Borisovich, two bullets were taken out

from Shuvygin’s body, one still bearing traces of gun grease.

This could happen only in one case,

if the bullet was the first one to leave the gun.

You, colonel, shot twice to kill and only the third time into the air.

This is a serious crime, this is murder we’re talking about.

Murder?

Is this murder in your opinion?

Well, this one is murder!

And this one, this one.

A maniac alias Professor who you try to present as a victim

killed eleven women, with atrocities.

Eleven! This is murder! Here! Here, here.

And this, Mr Serdyukov, is the arrest of a very dangerous criminal.

You are driven by emotions, and I am guided by the law.

And according to the law I have to put up the issue

of colonel Lebedev’s debarment

and criminal charges against him.

That’s all from me.

Vitya, you said it was all fine with the expert assessment.

I’ll deal with it.

I don’t like this Serdyukov...

How do you know him?

Well,

we studied together.

-Anatoliy Borisovich! -Yes, yes, I’m listening.

What is this strange conclusion in Professor’s case about?

I don’t see anything strange in it.

But you promised.

Well, if it’s about the bullets,

I did everything according to instructions.

I have been in service for more than twenty years,

and there hasn’t been a single complaint about my work.

I retire in six months,

and I don’t want any problems or headaches.

I am deeply impressed with your integrity.

Too bad I didn’t know about it before.

-Speaking. -I need your help.

What happened?

My father left me a letter before his death,

and for some reason it was stolen by his friend.

And now the friend is killed, there is no letter,

and the whole house is upside down.

Hello?

It looks like I’ve found something...

Damn...

POLICE

I am a SIB expert! I am a SIB expert! SIB!

Search him!

Hey! Easy!

What are you doing here?

My father died... I came to visit his friend

and tell him about the time and place of the funeral,

but I found him dead.

Is this yours?

-Yes, this is mine. -Check him.

Have you touched anything here?

No, no, of course not.

-What is this? -It is a diary,

my father’s diary.

-How long has he been dead? -More than ten hours.

Tell our employee the address of your stay.

And don’t leave the city until the end of investigation.

Okay.

You have an unusual name...

Is the sea warm?

I see such slash wounds for the first time, look.

Damn, if he wanted to cut his wrists, he’d cut across, not lengthwise.

Very strange...

He cut lengthwise to bare the sinews.

A person feels terrible pain and fear in this process.

So he was tortured?

Yes.

But the killer didn’t know his victim had asthma.

Due to pain shock an asthma attack started,

and Johann died from suffocation.

Johann Just died due to asphyxiation caused by asthma attack.

Plus we found traces of cyclisanide in his blood.

-What is cyclisanide? -I’ll go find out.

Cyclisanide is an expensive corticosteroid for treating bronchial asthma.

It is strange that Johann who obviously lived in poverty

took such an expensive medication instead of cheaper analogs.

One vial costs 60 euros.

Johann Just received regular retirement benefits,

149 euros per month, and he didn’t have any savings.

Where did he get the money for that?

Christian, find out whether there were any bank transfers made in his favor.

And you, Vilma, will find the pharmacy he bought this cyclisanide at.

By the way, I like your pies.

The killer is a man between 25 and 30 years of age.

For some reason, there is a vivid smell of Dutch tulips.

-Tulips? -Yes...

I found a hidden diary in Johann’s house,

could the killer have been looking for it?

Why do you think so?

Several pages were torn out from it just recently.

And what is in the diary?

Johann worked as a gynecologist, there is information about his patients,

but very old, back from 1975-76.

Then he participated in IVF experiments

led by a certain doctor L.

Doctor L...

This is how he refers to him in the diary.

The experiment ended in miscarriages in all his patients,

and two of them died.

There is not a single last name.

Yes, only first letters

of either first or last names, it’s not clear.

There is also nurse E. mentioned there.

Where were the experiments held?

This is some kind of cypher text...

And here’s a question: why did Johann steal my father’s letter

and how is it associated with the diary and Johann’s death?

And one more thing, not long before the murder

Johann was visited by an elderly woman, 65 to 70 years of age.

She dyes her hair with henna and keeps a parrot at home.

Has your father said something strange or suspicious to you lately?

I haven’t talked to him for the last 20 years.

Which hotel are you staying it?

None. You’ve got the whole house.

We all knew him

as an honest, respectable person

who’s lived a worthy life,

a real example of integrity.

This is how we’ll remember him.

-Sorry, I overslept... -You didn’t have to come.

I remember how the death of his wife hit him.

It was a great loss.

I hope that now they are together.

And now the family and friends can say goodbye to the departed.

Please accept my condolences, it is such a loss...

Lev Konstantinovich! Why weren’t you telling the truth?

You know perfectly well what kind of person my father was.

Are you crazy?

384 HP, roadster body, tent roof, leather salon.

This car is a dream!

I advise you to give it back. And as soon as possible.

Why? I paid for three days in advance.

How are you going to drive in this roadster with tent roof

to Johann’s modest abode, to put it mildly, and stay unnoticed?

First of all, the car is black.

Secondly, we’ll stop several blocks away

and then we’ll walk, the weather is lovely.

Well, well...

POLICE

Do you think the food in Estonian prisons is good?

You’ll like it.

And what are we going to look for here?

I don’t know: the torn out pages from the diary, notebooks,

diaries dating back to other years. Something to help us understand

what was my father’s connection to all of this.

Well... Fancy how these people live.

And what did your father do?

He taught at the university. He’s a professor, Ph.D. in History.

Sociable and hospitable.

He liked to gather crème de la crème of academic

and artistic communities at our place.

The guests talked and discussed various historical and political topics...

You had a great father.

Yes, and this great father recorded all conversations

and transmitted them to the authorities. He told on people.

When I found out about it, I broke all communication with him.

Cyclisanide...

The same elderly woman visiting Johann

and drinking tea with him not long before the murder held this paper bag.

-And the patient obviously smoked a lot. -Well, actually he didn’t.

Pulmonologia Tallinna Klinik.

Pulmonology department of a Tallinn clinic?

Probably Johann was treated there.

And here’s the receipt for cyclisanide

bought by that same elderly parrot owner.

The purchase was made four days ago, and there is an address of the pharmacy.

Christian, what have you got there?

I’m almost done.

Look here as well. These are not robbers.

A murderer?

Unlikely.

It’s someone else.

POLICE

Are you gonna have breakfast?

I’m not going to choke on hydrogen sulfide,

ammonium and mutagenic pyrolyzates.

Actually I was frying eggs and not all that stuff you’ve just named.

Yes, that’s what you were doing, frying.

All this stuff appears in protein after intensive thermal processing.

So enjoy your meal, I’ll wait for you in the car.

Thank you.

Great apron.

The only one they had.

Damn.

What happened?

Fuck.

I warned you.

You should have at least put up the roof for the night.

That’s why there was a discount, the roof isn’t working.

In a city full of gulls only a tourist like you could rent

a cabriolet with nonfunctioning roof.

I’m calling a taxi.

Fuck.

No, I’d have remembered.

Cyclisanide isn’t something bought every day.

This is an expensive medicine. Only one woman buys it from us.

Who is she? What is her name?

I don’t know the name.

Elderly, red hair, looks rather striking.

She buys cyclisanide twice a month.

If she comes again, call us.

Okay.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

-Do you know her? -She is one of those on Johann’s case.

A good-looking one. I think she likes you.

DRUGSTORE

Yes, she bought cyclisanide, but I don’t know what her name is.

Then I’m going to have a request for you...

Let me know. Have a good day!

But...

Your colleague has already left her number.

Which one do I call?

Call me directly.

-Thank you, have a nice day. -You too.

Here’s Johann Just’s bank account statement for the last three months.

Nothing special, small shopping in corner stores.

And a month ago, for two weeks in a row, he used his card to pay for meals

in the café of Tallinn University clinic.

Was he there on treatment?

Probably so. Though he doesn’t have medical insurance.

We have to find out who paid for his treatment.

What have you found out?

That cyclisanide is sold in six pharmacies.

Johann didn’t buy it in any of those.

And in the pharmacy in Narva-Monte I met guess who?

Him.

He was with some man.

I pretended like I didn’t care and then called the pharmacy.

And it turns out they were asking about the woman buying cyclisanide.

Damn, I don’t like it.

Vilma, get to the Tallinn University clinic

and find out who paid for Johann Just’s treatment.

And why...

Listen, your pie is really good.

Do you add plums to it?

TALLIN CLINIC

Niki! Niki, calm down!

Calm down.

Niki...

Hello!

Hello!

Hello, I’m listening!

Niki, there are some hooligans here!

Yes, they scared you, my poor boy. My birdie!

My uncle Johann really praised your department, especially you.

I’m really glad to hear it.

I know there was a lady taking care of him...

I would really like to find her and thank her

for everything she did for my uncle Johann.

Elena looked after him.

I don’t remember her last name, she’s a really nice woman, with red hair.

-A former nurse, by the way. -How do we find her?

There is information in his file.

HEAD OF DEPARTMENT

Please wait for me here.

Such a caring nephew.

I wish I had one like this.

Eat! What, don’t you want to?

Here, take it, take it with your claws, like this!

Niki, we’ve got visitors!

Yes?

A man, really?

Hello! May I come in?

Here is her phone number and address.

Thanks a lot! I’ll finally be able to thank this incredible woman.

-Sorry, are you... -Also a nephew. A cousin nephew.

We looked really alike in childhood.

Thank you.

CHIEF NURSE

She’s not answering. We’ll have to visit her.

Looks like we’ve got a problem.

TALLIN CLINIC

She’s really got a crush on you.

Two nephews, one of them cousin nephew.

What did they want?

They found out the phone number and address

of the woman who visited their uncle.

I hope nobody saw us.

The killer is the same,

but there are two new smells in addition to the tulips,

old soot and extract of clinocantus stems.

This is a tropical plant serving as a basis

for an ointment used in eastern massage,

especially Thai.

That’s a heap of interesting but still useless facts.

Well? Shit!

That’s them!

I am positive.

I don’t like this at all.

Vilma, summon them to the station tomorrow.

Why was he torturing them? What Johann and Elena could know?

Could this be that same nurse E.? From Johann’s diary.

That’s right.

And that doctor was saying that Elena used to work as a nurse.

This means the murderer kills those mentioned in the diary.

Then it is logical to assume that the following victim could be...

Doctor L.

But how and where do we look for him?

And the main thing,

why would the killer need my father’s letter?

What if he took it by accident

and this letter has nothing to do with L., E. and so on?

Maybe,

maybe.

INCOMING CALL

Christian!

Today Elena received two calls, this and that one.

The second call remained unanswered, she was probably already dead.

But the first one lasted for two seconds. That’s too little for one conversation,

especially in Estonia.

Could the killer have been checking if she’s at home?

Find out everything about this call.

In Tallinn, there are 14 Thai massage salons.

If we visit three salons each day, then...

wait, is Amsterdam in Holland?

Actually, Holland is a province in the Netherlands.

Why are you asking?

One Thai salon is located in Amsterdam hotel.

Its perk is to deliver Dutch tulips to the rooms every morning.

The hotel is located in an old building, some rooms have fireplaces.

So this is where the smell of old soot comes from.

The call was made from the territory of the Tallinn University clinic.

-This is a CCTV video. -Play it!

Now fast-forward.

Stop! Zoom in.

14:38:40.

See, the conversation lasted for two seconds!

Stop! Rewind. Show the license plate.

Find out everything about this car.

Care for some tea?

Yes, that would be great.

The car belongs to Hauk rental company.

Hauk?

Vilma, call Hauk and find out who drove this car.

Thank you.

What is this?

My grandma’s recipe.

The rooms with fireplaces are located one above another,

along the fireplace standpipe.

And how do we get into the room?

-Where do you have it from? -Do you really want to know?

Is that our room?

Let’s move on.

Here.

Pizza delivery!

Okay, I’ll be in the hall.

-Did you enjoy your massage? -Yes, thank you.

Freeze, it’s the police! Hands up!

Damn!

The nephew...

I don’t like this!

And we...

were just going to call you.

We were passing by and saw an unlocked door.

We decided to drop by and check if everything was alright.

Like this, in gloves?

I know that you penetrated the houses of Johann Just and Elena Merekhina.

What were you looking for there?

Forty years ago, Johann, Elena, and some doctor L.

worked on an IVF project.

It was shut down after the deaths of two patients whose names we don't know.

We think that Johann’s and Elena’s deaths are connected,

and doctor L. we know nothing about might become the next victim.

Where do you have this information from?

This is all I can tell you.

Your presence in our country is undesirable.

Your visas are canceled and you have six hours to leave the country.

Goodbye! Vilma!

No, stop, farewell!

Have a nice day.

The fireplace is not working, there is a shelf with the documents there.

Then we’ll go to the hotel. We’ll manage in six hours.

No, we won’t manage in six hours.

The flight back is in four hours.

You’ll stay here until that time. No tricks.

-General... -Lebedev!

I’ll talk to you separately!

For now I want a written explanation.

Would you care for some tea?

Vilma, send the request to state archive to find out

where Elena Merekhina and Johann Just worked between 1970 and 1980.

Yes.

RESTAURANT

These are my photos! What the...

My dear son! I have to tell you the truth.

Give me the letter!

Are you writing?

We are flying back in an hour.

Damn.

Damn.

The answer from the state archive has arrived.

Well?

All the data about Merekhina and Just have disappeared.

-How so? -I don’t know.

Here is my written explanation, General.
