I saw the way she was looking at you.

Who?

ANITA: CAN WE MEET?

(speaking chinese)

Good night to you too.

RUSSIAN AFFAIRS

Let's make a deal, Gleb.

We're old friends.

But now, our meetings and calls are unwanted.

Don't make the diamond of my heart worry.

Is he worrying?

What do you think?

He met my ex-husband today. The conversation was...

not really sweet.

- He got killed in an hour. - Well, it's not you who killed him.

Does it matter who did this?

He's dead, I'm happy.

I won't leak the info on my husband to you.

Our past is in the past, our future is vague.

He's my only assets and safety guarantee in the present.

I have to go.

Don't do that again.

I've got problems. Come here by the first flight tomorrow.

Arkady?

- What is it, honey? - Do you know what time it is?

Yes.

It's time to go to bed.

Go. I'll join you in a moment.

How are the girls?

They went to bed long ago.

Is it constipation?

Diarrhea. I must've eaten something bad.

I've told you many times not to visit those reception dinners.

- They feed you with junk there. - It's a part of my job, honey.

Is staring at other women your job too?

Come on! There was only one woman there. And she's a deputy.

"A deputy".

Fine, I'll go to bed.

Get out, Arkady.

Open the door!

I said open the door! Now!

F***! What an awful day!

- Good afternoon. - Good afternoon.

Vlad Vaitovsky. FSB.

I want to see Dolgachyova Lyudmila Petrovna.

- Lyudmila Petrovna is at the gulf. - Over there? - Yes.

I can't tell you anything new.

You've come in vain.

If you need to arrest me, go ahead.

Uncertainty is the worst thing.

Lyudmila Petrovna, Pavel Chistyakov's death is not your fault.

I'm so tired.

At least one sin is not on me.

But... I'll need your help.

Did any common friend of you and Pavel have a reason

to kill him?

I don't wanna accuse anyone.

Look at the guest list.

Everyone.

MESHCHERSKY INNOKENTY MIKHAILOVICH

- Good morning, sir. - Is it really?

Hey! S***.

- Ready in? - About 17-20 minutes.

One, two, three, four.

Higher!

My friend, I really don't like what happened at the party last night.

I assure you, this will in no way affect our project timeline.

Gleb, I don't have a reason to not trust you.

But I'm afraid rumors will get out.

The murder might be linked to your company. And as a result, to me.

It's been a while since I had anything to do with Chistyakov.

And I didn't kill him. It's just a coincidence.

An unpleasant detail, that's it.

I should hope so. Deal with it.

Excuse me.

- My love, any requests for dinner? - Not right now.

Alright.

In case of violent death

or death by accident, all the assets, monetary funds,

securities, chattels and real estates

go to my mother, Chistyakova Alla Sergeevna.

What?

The old toad has dementia. She's 89.

- Right, old age is not a blessing. - I'm young! I'm his wife.

Age doesn't matter in this case.

You should try being friends with your mother-in-law.

This woman raised Pavel. You want me to get my bare ass into a piranhas fish tank?

It's impossible to be friends with her.

What do I do now?

We can try challenging the will in court.

But being a lawyers, I can tell you that the odds for positive outcome are very low.

F***.

It being one of the main subjects, you're beginning to feel it.

You're getting into its essence.

You see some forms.

The man is clearly working on the problem of...

con... merism.

You mean consumerism.

Consumption problem, right.

There're references to Pop Art.

You're mesmerized by the power of fantasy.

- Tell me, is it just the same artist? - No.

Our gallery has works of 12 different artists.

Shall I show you my favorite one?

No, thank you. I guess I'll take a walk around.

- Why didn't you call? - We've got some troubles.

I know about the troubles. Do you have it? When is the deal?

Soon. I'll be able to tell the date later.

- Ilona, listen... - I told you, everything is fine.

- I'm waiting. - Call.

- Have you found it? - Not yet, we're working on it.

Too long.

Can you explain what exactly we're looking for?

What did the victim have?

I mean what he didn't have when we searched the body?

It's not what is important.

I wanna know who killed him.

The more you conceal, the longer I'm going to investigate.

- I'm not a psychic! - Sweetie...

Why are you talking to me with that tone? It's important for me.

I don't care about your business with the foreigners.

It's the right thing to do.

- Drinking? - Yes, I just want to relax.

Right, you're not 20 anymore.

Your skin, your hair.

Everything is getting old.

You should take care of yourself.

- Are we meeting today? - I don't think I can make it.

- Your mommy won't let you go? - Kinda.

Tell her we're going to the State Russian Museum.

It's a good idea.

Good girl.

This is not Saratov. This is the cultural capital of Russia.

He knows nothing about it. He just nods along.

He nods along for big money.

But you don't know Ilishchyuk's biography.

It's not a school, I don't get grades here.

If you don't work well, you'll go back to your Hicksville.

We can bury your new life easily. Right, Zoya Naumovna?

- Sure. It's not our first time. - Learn how to communicate properly.

Zoya Naumovna is an honored worker of culture and arts.

She's the last of her kind.

Got it?

The history of Russian avant-garde is considered...

A FEW MONTHS AGO

to begin with the "Blue Rose" exhibition.

Which took place in Moscow in 1907

in Kuznetsov's house.

The exhibition was financed by...

a manufacture and amateur artist, Ryabushevsky.

Right, there's nothing worse than performing for an ungrateful audience.

They Did Not Expect Her by Repin.

I've got a business offer to you.

Let's get a cig, makeup, and going.

Burn it down, God. You can't fix it here.

Mila.

- It's my break time, let's have lunch. - I'm not hungry.

Then we'll have sex. On the beach.

- Whether you want it or not. - Screw you.

Alright. But I'll screw you too.

- You're wet. - I'm also beautiful,

cunning and very hot.

I'm sad!

Babe, why do you need this thing? Let's do something about it.

Come on!

- Go ahead, call. - Darius, my dad won't give me this much.

Whether he does or not, I don't...

We've got no choice. What do you suggest?

Our investor suddenly died.

This is called force majeure.

But we have to finish the movie, right?

Not only my shoes, but also my feet are worn off while looking for money.

This is your direct responsibility, by the way.

You're not in a fairy tale, man. It's no better in Hollywood.

That factory of dreams.

So go ahead, use the phone.

And go to your father. Come on, go.

Go. Be an adult.

I need money. Give me my fee in advance.

Did you hear it?

She needs money. Actors work badly when unpaid.

- Darius needs money too. - I don't have money.

F***, don't be like Arkady.

"I don't have money, I don't have money". Knock it off.

I repeat, no one's gonna work for free in my movie!

This is my principle.

Hello?

Yes, dad.

Looks like you haven't come up with anything either.

I'm not Hans Christian Andersen. I'm a widow.

Right. A widow.

Black widow. Grey neck.

Do you have more?

Oh, my...

Diva Plavalaguna.

- What? - Nevermind.

Alright. Let's drink to the memory of Pasha.

He kicked the bucket so suddenly.

He let us all down, ras... Rest in peace.

What did you put in here?

- Whiskey. - Why whiskey? There's cognac over there.

What if I really killed someone?

Sweetheart...

who could you kill there? I told them you couldn't.

You don't know me.

I could.

And I did.

I didn't know her at all. She was pregnant.

It means I took two lives.

I think you're delusional, sweetheart.

You killed no one, calm down.

We'll get punished according to our sins.

Uncle Kesha used to say this, I wouldn't listen.

I believe Jesus said this.

It's your fault. Why did you make me go?

Girl, let's...

not make me responsible for such situations, okay?

It's all over.

I don't want to talk to anyone.

I'll answer it.

Hello, mom.

Hey, bro. You look great.

- Awesome hairstyle. - Thanks.

- You're Alex, right? - Indeed.

Where's mother?

She's in SPA. Is everything okay?

- Shall I give her a message? - Yes, tell her that

father called from Amsterdam. He's going around the world on bike. He's good.

Of course he is. He's in Amsterdam.

- It's so beautiful there. - It is.

Look, can you ask her to send me some money?

Okay, no problem. She'll call you back then.

Okay.

So we've met.

I often remembered about us.

- Did you? - I'm short of time.

How are you?

- I'm okay. - How's Ilona?

Ilona is bad.

I don't know... she's got troubles.

She was to meet someone at the white party, then the murder happened, and...

she's not herself.

Is something wrong?

- She went postal on me. - Did she? - Yes.

I'm scared when she's like that.

I fear if one day she loses it and...

- I have no place to go. - Do you want to leave her?

But she'll never let me go.

Well...

every situation has a way out.

You trust me, don't you?

I didn't let you down back then.

But you'll have to tell me about every step.

This way everything will work out.

I have to upset you. You're not pregnant.

But my period is late.

It's a common thing.

Few days of delay.

Your HCG level is not high. There's no gestational sac.

I don't understand. Why doesn't it work?

Me neither.

You don't have any health problems. You're fertile.

I think we should check your husband.

It's impossible.

Then I can't help you.

You don't understand.

I have to get pregnant.

My husband is a kind of man that...

He needs an heir. Do you understand?

Have you thought about IVF or surrogacy?

These are also impossible.

Then wait. Six months is not a long time.

Everything will be fine.

You can only hope.

Did you go to the doctor?

Yes.

- Any news? - No.

How about fish for dinner?

As you wish.

You're having dinner alone tonight.

There's no risk.

We order the stones officially.

Someone planted something? We know nothing about it.

Why did the greedy customs service let them through?

No clue.

Don't.

Alright. Tomorrow at 1 p.m.

I'll be waiting at my place.

ANITA: SHE'S MEETING SOMEONE TOMORROW

Hi.

To what do I owe the pleasure?

You don't call or text.

You kind of owe me money.

For what, I wonder. It wasn't you who bumped him off.

How can you know?

Anyway, the job is done.

May Innokenty Mikhailovich rest in peace.

There's a difference between punishment and revenge.

Punishment is done for the punishee. Revenge is done for the revenger.

To slake their anger.

So, you'll get your bounty when you find the one who did this.

Revenge costs much, but your own life is much more expensive.

It's so expensive that it's worth risking.

Thank you.

I remember it so clearly. 2018, endocrinologists-nutritionists' conference.

All leading doctors unanimously said one simple thing.

"If you stop eating,

you can achieve an amazing result.

You can simply die".

Mila, can you eat the crab at least?

It won't ruin your shape.

- I'm just not hungry. - I got it. Well...

Look, it's reaching out to you. "Please! I'm begging you".

Hello there. Are you alone here? You're so hot.

- She's with me. - I'm not talking to you, boy.

- How about Argentinian crab dance? - Oh, stop it.

- Mila, why are you so... - What?

- Boring? - You said that.

Why aren't you answering the phone? Grisha's called many times.

Maybe you'll ask how I'm doing first?

I can see how you're doing.

Is something wrong?

Your son is in trouble! I can't solve it alone.

Watch your tone. Don't you dare speak to your mother like this.

I know about his troubles. He calls when he needs money.

- He's an adult, he can make his own money. - Who are you at all?

- Alex. - Calm down.

Did you hear me, mom?

I've come from a different city, and you say "calm down"?

Both you and father abandoned us.

Grisha is about to get expelled.

The payment won't go through while dad is somewhere on his bike.

And you're grubbing crabs with your new son.

No one's gonna expel him.

- Why the hell did I waste my time on you? - I wasted more time on you.

Now I spend my time for myself. You must need something too, right?

I need nothing from you.

Well, you've eaten your child.

And I'm eating shrimps' children.

Bad. Bad.

Wait here.

I'm sorry. They made me come late.

The stairs?

Why are you dressed like this? You'll catch a cold.

Well, I called... those assholes.

They didn't say anything good, of course.

But nothing bad either.

Okay. Call me.

Yeah, call me.

- You're late. - I'm sick of that Krutova.

You've got career growth though.

Nothing is changed.

Both actresses and her snap at me for a wrong brush.

I'd rather be your private stylist.

- Well, you refused. - True.

You look awesome. How are you?

I'm great.

Your man is handsome. And rich.

- He adores... - I'm short of time. What is it?

Have you communicated with your ex-husband often lately?

I haven't. Why would I?

What about Krutova?

Let's talk straight, sweetie. I don't like your enigmatic tone.

Here's the deal.

I wanna overthrow Olga.

I've got a piece of info. But I won't go to the cops, I'm scared.

But you have connections.

She f*** you hard too, didn't she?

I never revenge on those who hurt me.

Life will do it for me, and even harder.

Pasha is a great proof of it.

Karina...

it was me who found your Pasha's dead body.

He's not mine.

I found a Russian doll on him. But I was stupid enough to give it to Olga.

I don't know what it is, but if we do, we can destroy here.

- My husband mustn't know we met. - You said you have information.

Guarantee confidentiality, and it's yours.

Shall I sign with my blood?

Chistyakov was killed by Olga Krutova.

Why should I believe you?

My husband's reputation can be ruined because of this case.

I wanna help the investigation.

Dig Olga's biography deeper, you'll find many curious things.

She can easily bump off anyone who's on her way.

Alright. What else?

She took something from Pasha.

A Russian doll.

I was glad to help.

How long are you gonna keep me here?

It depends on your behavior.

We need to talk.

Enough talking.

- Open the door, Gleb. - Are you here to apologize?

- Can I come in? - No.

- It's important and about both of us. - Both of us?

You never loved me.

- I did, and I do now. - Nonsense!

You had everything. I did everything for you.

No. You did what you thought was right.

Then the best thing you could do was just buying me like everyone else.

I don't regret imprisoning you, I regret letting you get by.

I see. You still have good old songs.

Something happened in these 3 years.

What I regret the most is my inability to get you out of my head.

But it doesn't mean I can't get you out of my house!

How long you've been like this?

- You used to be relatively sane. - What is sane?

One meeting your expectations?

My expectations weren't high. Not living with a murderer was enough.

Gleb!
