This is the second exhibition of a distinctive artist

Lev Katunin who spent much time behind the bars.

The canvases presented at the exhibition are…

Mashenka, hello!

Hello.

I arranged it with your boss that only you and

I write about this exhibition. I’m so happy to see you!

I’m glad to see you too, Vadim. Tell me,

don’t you consider it immoral to praise a murderer?

First of all, he has served his term, so he expiated, so to say.

Secondly, Lev Katunin is a very good artist.

Thirdly I have my own point of view concerning the murder of Anna Manskaya.

I’m sorry but let’s not talk about it now.

Leonid, honey, good afternoon!

Hello! Hello! How are you?

How do you like it?

It is… well.

Yes, the canvases are weird. They are so sinister.

But somehow one can’t take one’s eyes of them.

They say that their author is rather sinister too.

What do you want from a man who spent fifteen years

in the strict regime colony. Hello, colleagues!

Hi, dear.

Mashka, this is what I promised you.

Thank you! Thank you, my dad will be very happy.

Thank you, honey.

Look, do you know where the artist is now?

I don’t.

Hello, dear.

You’re looking fabulously!

Hello.

– This is Yura. – Nice to meet you.

– This is Yana. – Hi, Yana!

It turns out that they were deeply in love.

But suddenly Katunin killed his wife out of jealousy.

Then he gathered all his canvases and burnt them.

How do you like such information?

Such passions are worthy of Shakespeare.

You tell me!

How long is it going on between you?

What?

I mean your relations with Komarov.

With what Komarov?

Authors are so far from the people!

Don’t you know who Komarov is?

No, I don’t.

He is the owner of the Manna Corporation.

He is rich and a bachelor. Don’t miss your chance, friend!

Look, that journalist is constantly looking at you.

Is she in love with you?

Masha? The tireless pencil? Stop it, Lera.

She is too clever and too young for that.

Dear friends, the time has come to satisfy your curiosity

and to demonstrate the “Prodigal Soul” canvas.

Lev Katunin had been working on it for fifteen yours.

Yes, for the hardest years of his life.

Here you go!

Mum, you’re adults. You must come to terms.

Tell dad that if he refuses to take his medicines

I won’t give him tickets for the hockey game.

Of course I have them. My fellow journalists helped…

Stop it! Are you all right?

Get out of my life!

What are you doing?

He murdered my mother. He was cheeky enough to depict that.

Please meet Lev Katunin!

Wait! Please wait!

My name is Maria. I’m writing about this exhibition.

I’d like to talk to you.

I’m sorry but not now.

Don’t whistle, or you will lose money.

Marusya, what are you doing there?

Auntie Klava has pulled all the cords out again.

Auntie Klava is saving electricity. Please brew us some coffee.

We need to talk about the yesterday’s event.

We shall put the plan of the articles down.

I’ve already done it. It’s in your e-mail.

Really? I thought you were busy with other things yesterday.

Like you.

Hi to everybody!

This is not mine. And not for me.

Masha, I was asked to hand it over to you!

– To me? – Yes.

From a man in a nice car.

Boss, the photos will only be ready by afternoon.

Please don’t hurry me up!

When you’re done enjoying yourself please get down to work.

And don’t forget about the coffee!

Masha! A serious man is interested in you!

I mean Komarov.

Masha, it’s your jack-pot!

Stop it!

Why not? He is young, handsome, rich and a bachelor.

What more do you need for absolute happiness?

Nothing. But it’s weird that such a handsome,

rich and young man is still a bachelor.

It’s not weird. I’m not married too. How can I marry

when there are so many beautiful girls around?

Won’t you overdo it, Casanova?

I hope not. By the way your Komarov was married.

But his wife left him for some Turk.

Wow! How could she have traded a medicine king for some Turk?

Maybe he wasn’t so rich at that time.

May I take it, Masha?

It’s fine. It’s even good.

What did you change?

I’ve deleted the phrase “I wonder what silk clothes

make up the soul of the artist” for the third time.

Really? I didn’t notice.

It’s because I’m always deleting it.

Look, what about the orphanage? Did anybody react to my article?

I warned you not to hope for that!

You shouldn’t have reassured the director.

This is the grim truth of life! Thank you for the article!

Masha, come to your senses!

How long can you play unrequited love?

Can’t you see that he is interested in a different kind of girls?

Matilda the tortoise doesn’t count, of crouse.

She is Melania.

What difference does it make, Masha?

Absolutely none.

Maria, hello.

Hello, Yuriy.

Now we know each other.

Thank you for the flowers.

Please forgive me for yesterday. I couldn’t talk, honestly.

I understand.

Let’s talk now. Why not go to some warm and cozy place?

I’m sorry but today…

Although… why not?

Why not? Come on!

Melania, I think we’re losing her!

I don’t remember my dad. He left us when I was about two.

We lived with my mum. We lived very well together.

Until that Katunin appeared in her life. Soon mum died.

You resemble her so much!

Has anything happened?

No, it’s nothing.

I’m lucky. I have a great family.

My mum is a teacher and my father is an engineer.

You’re happy.

Your brother studies in the 9th grade.

Yes, I know much about you.

May I?

Answer.

I beg your pardon. Hello? Yes.

Dad has died…

Mum!

We shall do something…

Call somebody… I don’t get it…

Don’t worry about anything. I’ll do what needs to be done.

Olga Petrovna, Mashenka, I’ll clarify some moments

with the director of the cemetery

and wait for you in my car. Hold on!

God, I have no idea how we would arrange it all but for Yura.

Daughter, he is very good.

Masha! Masha has come!

Hi, honeys! Hi, hi! Are you playing?

We are.

What game are you playing?

Snowballs!

Snowballs? All right, let’s play!

Mashenka!

I’ll come back to you soon.

Masha! You were right! There are kind people in this world!

Mr. Komarov paid for the repairs of our roof!

He promised to give us monthly financial assistance.

Plus examine all our children in his medical center for free!

This is great!

What are you doing? I beg our pardon?

Honey, what are you doing? I forbade burning rubbish, didn’t I?

Hi.

Hi.

It’s fantastical…

You are so good!

Shall we fly?

No. No!

Go, go! Hi, guys. Is everything ready?

– It is. – Thanks.

Oh, God!

Hold at the handle. Move a bit further.

This is marvelous! I’m short of words!

Do you want to try it?

What?

Flying!

No!

Hold the wheel!

No, no!

Go for it!

No!

You’re doing great!

Am I steering? I’m steering!

Calm down.

Was it scary?

Nothing scares me with you.

It was something! First I thought that I’d die of fear.

But when we took off… it’s so quiet there, so calm

and so beautiful! You feel as if you’re alone

in the entire universe. It’s incredible!

We were flying at about 1500 m above the ground…

Weren’t you scared?

I was very scared at first.

Stop it! It’s not scary. Just 1500 m! I used to fly…

Garik, we’re not talking about you!

It was scary but fantastic at the same time.

Just the two of you and the sky…

I’m sorry to interrupt such a substantive conversation

but we shall work. Thank you!

Dima! The issue turned out great!

And the orphanage has a patron now. You didn’t believe in it.

Dima, I‘m getting married!

Congratulations!

What a house!

Will you, Yuriy, be Maria’s wife?

– Hello. – Hello.

I don’t understand what I’m doing here.

Don’t you dare spoil her party!

Will you, Maria, be Yuriy’s wife?

I will.

Exchange the rings as a sign of love and loyalty.

Dima, what’s wrong?

This is it. I’m leaving,

But why?

Dear Maria and Yuriy! You’re a husband and a wife now!

Congratulate each other with the first marital kiss!

Didn’t I tell you that mobiles don’t work here?

One may only use the fixed line.

Really? Then wait for me, please. I must call mum,

otherwise she’ll leave for her lessons. OK?

OK.

Yes. Yes, mummy.

Yes.

Yes, everything is fine.

Yes, yes, sure. Of course.

Bye.

Yura, what has happened?

What do you mean?

I saw you quarreling with some woman.

This is a crazy neighbor. She is asking for money.

She doesn’t ask but demand.

Maybe she needs help. Maybe you shouldn’t talk to her like that.

I’ll decide whom and how to talk myself!

I’m sorry.

I’m sorry, Mouse. I have some troubles at work.

Plus that crazy woman… Let’s go, we’re already being late.

It’s all right.

Does everybody get the terms? Then you may be free.

Dim Dimitch, the courier brought this from Valeria Ganskaya.

Great! Masha, wait!

This is the poster of Katunin’s first exhibition.

Oh, wow! Look!

Just an ordinary poster…

A woman on the painting resembles somebody, doesn’t she?

Masha, she looks like you!

Does she?

They have similar hairdos.

But I think this is not what it is about.

What is it about?

I… nothing. May I go?

Of course you may. Katunin’s paintings were totally different before the prison.

Masha, I want you to write an article on him!

I’m sorry, Dima, but I can’t. I’m afraid Yura will disapprove.

You see, he is still very touchy

about what had happened to his mother, so…

All right, I’ll sort it out.

I’m sorry.

Wait!

What do you want from me?

I need you. I need to restore the lost portrait of a woman

whom you resemble so much.

What did you burn it for, then?

I didn’t burn it. The murderer stole it.

You murdered her yourself.

Look.

I didn’t murder anybody and I didn’t burn anything.

Be careful! You’re in danger!

Look, I’m scared of him. He looks like a classical murderer.

At the same time he sounded very convincing when he said

that he didn’t kill her. I’m thinking…

If he didn’t do it then who did?

Masha, how do I know? I don’t read detective stories.

I don’t like then! Shall we work?

Hello. Vadim, hello.

This is Maria from the “Space and Time” magazine.

Yes. Look, will you find half an hour for me?

You said that you have a special view on the murder of Anna Manskaya.

Masha, why do you need that grim staff?

Vadim, I beg you. This is very important for me.

If it is important… I don’t believe that Leva murdered Anna.

They were deeply in love. Yes, they were not 17-year olds

but there relations were incredibly fresh and tender.

When he saw her strangled in the garden that morning…

he on the verge of a suicide himself.

However these are my emotions.

The court had other considerations. Here you go.

Dima, look…I thought it over and decided

that I’ll write on Katunin’s creative work.

Very good. Take his catalogues.

Thank you. And one more request.

Yes?

You said once that your classmate worked

for the Federal Security Service.

Yes. Seryozha Volkov is a Lieutenant Colonel in the FSS. Why?

I’ll need his help in this case.

All right. I’ll give him a call.

Thank you.

I looked through the papers and realized

that the investigation was carried out neglectfully.

But what do you want? It was the middle of the 90-ies.

The criminal bands were all around,

there were many scandalous murders.

And here we had a quiet family story — a murder out of jealousy.

Just so simply!

What about the evidence? What they irrefutable?

Did the investigatory experiment prove the theory?

You must be interested in investigation work, Masha.

Do you like reading detective stories?

It makes no difference. I just want to sort this case out.

The witness’s account was very dubious.

They only had a statement of the victim’s under-age son.

However Katunin is free now. He has even arranged his exhibition!

Why take old ashes over?

What a beautiful music!

When I hear it I imagine that I’m a captain

of a Flying Dutchmen.

Why?

He was travelling around the world

looking for his ideal. Like me.

Hi.

Hi. But I was luckier. I seem to have found my ideal.

Have you?

Where did you take it?

Dima found it somewhere.

I don’t want to see it in our house anymore!

What… what’s wrong with you, Yura? Yura…

Have you forgotten? He killed my mother!

What if he didn’t? What if the investigators were mistaken?

Katunin pleaded innocent. His friends refute his guilt.

One Lieutenant Colonel from the FSS told me…

Did you talk to Katunin?

You see…

Did you talk to him?

Yes! Dima asked me to write an article on him.

I had to sort his case out.

To sort out what? Aren’t my words enough for you?

Yura, please calm down.

What are you torturing me for?

I don’t want to go back to that terrible night…

You misapprehend the situation.

How shall I look at it?

I didn’t want to hurt you. I’m sorry, I’m sorry.

I’m sorry, I’m sorry. This is it. I was a fool. Forgive me.

Promise that you won’t work on that article.

All right.

– Promise to leave your job. – All right.

Dima, how long will it take? Vika is nervous!

Let her be nervous if she doesn’t know how to write articles!

What kind of an article is it? Masha used to write much better!

Inga, show that talented girl Masha’s works.

Maybe she’ll understand how one shall write.

I’ve already done that.

What is it?

Masha used to brew it much better!

What? I’m not saying anything!

The subscriber can’t be reached at the moment…

This is it.

Hello?

God, Mashka, is that you?

Look, my mobile doesn’t work here.

Dima, I miss you very much. Please come!

Of course you may!

Very good. I’ll be waiting.

What has happened? Masha! What’s wrong?

Nothing. But I feel…

lonely.

Do you feel bad with him?

No, no. I am not. But…

we live together in this huge house.

We don’t ask anybody in and we don’t go out.

A woman comes once a week to clean and that’s all.

Plus I… I go crazy without my job.

I see.

I’ve even started working on a novel.

Really?

It’s a historic detective story.

Wow!

– Do you want me to show it to you? – Please do!

Here you go!

I always used to say that you’re a talent! Write faster! You’ll earn loads of money!

Yura!

What is going on here?

Yura, I have a visitor. Dmitriy. This is Yuriy.

Stop it. Who told you that you may receive visitors here?

Yura…

– Yura, listen… – May I talk to my wife?

You can’t talk to Masha in such a tone!

Dima…

I didn’t ask you whom and how to talk!

Stop it!

Why did you come here? Who are you? What do you want?

Dima! Dima!

– I want to hit you in the face! – Stop it! Dima!

Try t!

Dima! I beg you, leave!

Look at the visitors you receive! Look at the friends you have!

Dima…

Write yourself, will you? I’m sorry.

It’s all right.

Yes?

I want to warn you.

Look, what do you want of me?

I want to warn you. If you do anything to that girl…

What are you doing?

Be careful, girl. He is a monster. Beware of him!

Look, you know what? I have some money.

I’ll give it to you now. But you’ll leave then, OK? OK?

Ask him where my Natasha is.

What Natasha?

Natasha is my daughter. She used to be his wife.

I’m looking for her but I can’t find her.

Is that you who wander by our windows?

Yes. I’m looking for Natasha. He hid her.

Or maybe killed.

He’ll kill you too.

He will.

Are you crazy? What nonsense were you saying on the phone?

I always suspected it. I suspected it right away.

But I didn’t want to believe it.

I was persuading myself that a son can’t murder his mother.

Don’t you dare lie! Don’t you dare!

She loved you… Yura.

This is a lie. A lie again! She loved you

and she didn’t care about me!

Where is the portrait of my Anna?

Your Anna? You’re crazy. You burnt it.

I couldn’t have burnt it. Where is Anna’s portrait?

I need to restore the lost portrait of a woman

you resemble so much… I didn’t burn it. The murderer stole it.

When he found her strangled that morning…

I don’t want to go back to that terrible night…

What are you torturing me for? Beware, girl. He is a monster.

I didn’t kill anybody and I didn’t burn anything.

He’ll kill you too. Be careful!

What are you doing here?

I understood everything.

So what?

Do you want to talk about it? Let’s do it.

I don’t want to talk to you. I don’t want to see you.

Let me go.

I thought you were better.

I thought you were the best.

But I was mistaken again.

It hurts!

I feel much more pain.

Yes. You won’t be able to escape. You’ll stay here.

And I’ll be painting your portrait during long cold winter nights.

The canvas is white clean. It entices and tempts.

But one shouldn’t hurry.

One shall enjoy its whiteness.

No! No!

Then the desire and inspiration will come simultaneously.

No!

You have loads of hidden sexuality…

You’re sick.

You’re crazy. You killed your wife. You killed your mother.

How many people do you need to kill to satisfy your complexes?

I’m cold.

It’s your fault.

They’ll find me anyway.

No.

You’re wrong.

I told your mother that you are writing a novel.

“She is fine and she asked you not to interrupt her”.

You, women…

My mother who traded me for a bald artist.

Natalia who slept with that Arab.

Now you disappointed me.

You must know your place.

You’re so worthless!

I think this is my best painting ever.

Do it. Open it!

Do you like it?

Stop!

Stop!

Hey!

Hey!

Where? Where is the girl?

She drowned! She drowned before my very eyes!

I didn’t manage to do anything! She drowned!

I failed to help her!

Did you know her?

A year later

Dim Dimitch, shall we write an article on Yulia Ostapchuk?

Who is that?

What do you mean?

The entire country is reading her book and you don’t know!

Do you think we need it?

Why waste valuable space on a women’s novel?

We shall do it. The novel is very interesting, by the way.

The heroes are lively and…

The style reminded me of Mashka a bit.

All right. I’ll look it through and decide whether we should do it.

Yes, Dima… Today is the anniversary of Masha’s death.

Olga Petrovna called me. See you at the cemetery at two o’clock.

Life isn’t fun anymore, is it, Melania?

God, why was her fate so horrible?

Mum! Stop it!

All right, I won’t.

Yuriy Alexeyevitch failed to come.

Very good! Who needs him here?

How can you say such things, Vova?

Be quiet. He is coming.

Good afternoon.

Hello, Yurochka.

Hello.

Masha didn’t like roses.

He wants to have it his way even here!

Please stop it. You have no right to…

I have a right! She didn’t let Masha talk to me!

He didn’t let her call me!

When you grow up and become a man you’ll understand

that a family is God for a woman.

Her best girlfriend is her husband.

When I grow up I’ll revenge for Masha!

Vladimir, apologize before Yuriy immediately!

Apologize! Do you hear?

I won’t do it! And I don’t need his stinky money!

Vova, you shouldn’t behave like that!

Yuriy Alexeyevitch, please forgive him.

I’m very grateful to you for everything.

You must understand that he is just a boy and he is very upset.

But he realizes that he wouldn’t be able to study

in a gymnasium and visit London but for your money…

Forgive him!

It’s all right.

Why did you do it?

Talk to me.

The money were been sent to Olga Petrovna Paramonova

in the course of four months from the same post office.

Go on.

The money is transferred by a Yulia Ostapchuk.

Ostapchuk? Who is she? Do you know the address?

The address is faked. The cashier can’t remember Ostapchuk.

But she’ll inform me as soon as she comes.

Are you sure?

I am. She needs money.

You may go.

Is that really you?

She drowned! She drowned!

She drowned before my very eyes

and I didn’t manage to do anything!

My husband is a monster. Save me.

Otherwise he’ll find and kill me.

Masha, you’re pregnant.

I don’t want to have a baby from him.

I don’t want to have a baby from him.

Calm down, calm down.

Calm down, calm down.

Masha, may I? I need to talk to you.

Yulya, I don’t want to talk to you at the moment.

Why are you so feisty?

Let’s go out. Mitenka is falling asleep.

Don’t you really understand anything?

Yulya, how could you bring all those TV people here?

Are you crazy?

But nothing bad has happened!

Thanks God for that! But it could have happened!

What if they saw us? What if Mitya and I were having a walk?

What do they need you for? They came to shoot me,

Yulia Ostapchuk, a fashionable author.

This is it!

“She entered the modern literature sky like a comet”.

It was a meeting with a star in an informal setting!

Look, “star”, we’ve discussed it a million times!

This is dangerous for me and for my child. But you don’t hear me.

I beg you, stop your hysterics! It was a year ago!

Maria Komarova died. She drowned.

My cousin Maria Pichugina and her son live with me now.

But I have a feeling that sometimes Masha Pichugina behaves

like an ungrateful b… fool!

Yulia, I’m very grateful for everything

that you’ve done for me. But don’t you think

that I’ve already paid for your kindness in full?

This is how you’re talking now!

I see.

What if I didn’t agree to play my part?

Where would you have ended up with Mitya?

How would you have fed him?

What about you? What would you be doing?

You’d be earning little extra by giving enemas and injections!

But I can see that you like the part of a star better! Isn’t it so?

You’re envious, aren’t you?

Are you crazy?

You’re envious!

Stop talking nonsense, Yulia!

All right. You may catch up with them and tell them the truth.

Yulia, what’s the matter?

I’m all for it!

What kind of a performance is it? Yulia?

Masha?

Masha, stop being mad at me. Everything is fine.

Mitka is growing up. He’ll have his first teeth soon.

Do you think it’ll happen soon?

I don’t think, I know. I haven’t been a writer all my life.

Well? Have we made up?

All right. But don’t do it again.

Fine.

Masha, I got a call from the publishing house.

They are hurrying us up because I told them that the novel would be ready next week.

But this is impossible! I won’t be able to do it!

We have the contract!

I told you not to promise anything.

But no, you did what you did.

By the way, I’ll need my money.

You won’t get a dime.

Then you won’t get a line.

All right.

Let’s do it this way — You’ll finish the novel

and I’ll give you the money.

OK.

She is like a bright comet on the sky of the modern literature.

A modest nurse from a district hospital became

a mega-popular author in just one month.

Yulia Ostapchup is a heroine of our today’s program.

This is my favorite show! Have you read this novel?

It’s a very good book. I recommend it!

…look into the worlds of a marvelous author Yulia Ostapchik.

But we’ll peep into her keyhole first.

What a bitch!

What?

Find that Yulia Ostapchuk for me urgently!

Her address, phone number, everything!

I’ll soon finish my new novel

which is called “The Forgotten Letter”.

– Your passport and ticket, please. – Thank you.

Yulia, look, I didn’t have any other choice.

I beg you, be careful.

She was very careful. But it didn’t help her, Mouse.

Where are you now, Maria Pichugina?

See you soon, love.

Girl, are you all right? Is it yours?

Shall I call the doctor?

Please let me go! Please let me go!

Yulia Ostapchuk…

A portrait against the purple sky.

You did well, girls. Did you want to laugh at me?

No. No!

You did.

Whose is the child? Is he yours?

The child is yours. Mitya is yours! Yours!

You want to live, don’t you?

Talk to me.

Masha was three months pregnant when I saved her.

Don’t do it! Don’t!

Yulia! Yulia? Where are you?

Yulia, I watched you on the TV. You were so great!

Yulia! Oh my God! Yulia!

Good evening.

Good evening.

We will travel together, won’t we, girl?

We will.

Good.

May I? Komarovskiy, the FSS Major.

Did you sell a ticket to this woman?

The ticket was issued in the name of Maria Pichugina.

What has happened?

Did you sell it or not?

She took a ticket to Voskresensk. The train number 735,

wagon 9. The train has just left.

Yuriy Alexeyevitch, maybe I shall go with you after all…

No, no. This topic is closed.

So my granddaughter left with that guy.

She didn’t tell me anything, she didn’t ask for my advice.

I didn’t have any relative except for her

after my son and my daughter-in-law died. And she…

Did she ever come to you?

She did come. With a son. He was about this small.

What did happen next?

I didn’t let her come in. I drove her away… I’m an old fool.

I ran after her but it was too late. Her train was gone.

Do you come to us to look for her?

Yes, I do. I get my pension, buy the tickets and come.

You know what, Ivan Gennadyevitch?

We’ll find her for sure. You’ll see. We’ll find her.

Eat. Why are you sitting?

I can’t eat.

You should! You have a man to think about!

You must have strength to feed him!

When I heard his voice in the phone my heart fell down.

He’ll find me. He’ll find and kill me.

I won’t let him hurt you.

Let’s go to Lyubavino with me.

No, Ivan Gennadyevitch. Mind, my husband is a terrible person.

God is merciful. Let’s go! Eat and have rest.

Take council with your pillow.

Don’t stay here, move to my compartment. It’s better there.

…unconscious. The author got lucky.

The visit of her neighbor must have scared the killer away.

A criminal case was instigated on the attack at Yulia Ostapchuk.

The main suspect is Maria Pichugina, Yulia’s cousin

who lived with her for about a year.

Maria Pichugina is wanted by the police now.

“Of course, - he muttered. – You aren’t subtle enough

to understand what silk clothes make the soul

of a real artist up”.

Marusya! Inga! Inga?

Dimitch, what’s happened?

Get to know what hospital Yulia Ostapchuk was taken to, urgently!

All right.

Masha…

Hey, what’s the matter?

A bastard!

Are you crazy?

As agreed. Thank you. I’ll help you now.

Good bye. Thanks.

This is my house. You’re welcome. It’s not too big.

However the more the merrier. Here you go.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Come in.

Thanks.

Follow me. Oh, God! You’ll live here.

This is Svetlanka’s room. It’s spacious and light.

The most important thing is that it’s safe.

What if he finds us?

I used to be a military man even though I’m retired now.

I fought in Afghanistan. Feel at home.

Thank you very much.

Well…

She was a great girl. She was attentive and polite.

She loved her son very much.

Her son? Aren’t you confusing something? Was it realty her?

Of course it was her!

Where did she take a child?

You’re an adult. Don’t you know how children are born?

I don’t understand. How could Masha have a baby?

She was already pregnant when she came to Yulia.

She told me that her relatives drove her away from home

and Yulia took her in. In six months Mitya was born.

He is a great boy. I used to watch over him sometimes

when Masha was writing on her… notebook.

Where could she be? What do you think?

I don’t know! And one more thing.

I don’t believe

that Masha could want to kill Yulia. I don’t believe it.

I don’t believe it too. Thank you very much. Thank you!

Hold it. Very good. Come on, come on… Roll it…

Masha?

– Yes. – Well…

Has something happened?

Your friend Yulia almost got murdered.

She is lying unconscious in the hospital now.

He did it.

This is not all. You’re wanted by the police.

They suspect you of an attempt to murder Yulia Ostapchuk.

I didn’t do it. Ivan Gennadyevitch,

I told you all about it! He did it!

Believe me… I didn’t do it.

I believe you. Calm down. Calm down.

The main thing now is for you to sit quietly. Do you get it?

I think it’ll work out somehow. I bought some fish.

I’ll cook some fish soup.

Calm down.

We’ll leave soon.

We’ll spend one more day here and leave.

We’ll go far, far away…

We can’t sit without acting! Don’t you understand?

You should arrest that Yuriy Komarov!

Dimitch, calm down. Don’t shout,

otherwise my guys will arrest you.

Look, Masha is in grave danger!

And you’re demonstrating your wits!

All right, let’s talk seriously. Everything points to the fact

that Maria Pichugina made an attempt at Yulia Ostapchuk’s life.

The main motive was the money!

The royalty that Ostapchuk received for her book.

Masha wrote it! An expertise will prove it.

But we’re talking about a different matter now.

We shall catch Komarov! He realized that Masha is alive!

He attacked Ostapchuk to get information! He is looking for Masha now!

What a plot! There is no evidence of that!

These are only your fantasies!

What do you mean?

The neighbor said that Masha is Pichugina!

All the worse for your Masha!

I’m sure that she’ll be arrested very soon.

Komarov is the one whom you should arrest! Seryozha, look…

Do you want me to call my colleagues

from the murder department and say that they shall find

a respectable owner of a medical corporation.

He is allegedly running about the city looking for his wife

who died a year ago whom he wants to kill.

Dima, can you imagine what they’ll answer?

Thank you.

No, I didn’t see her. You know, if it was a passenger

and not a fast train it makes two stops before Voskresensk...

In Lyubavino and in Orekhovo. Ask the taxi drivers there.

What did she do? Steal a nuclear suitcase?

A baby.

Some bourgeois turned out to be a maniac!

You must be joking.

No. A Komarov. Can you imagine? Yuriy Komarov...

The owner of the Manna Medical Corporation is suspected

of murders of his mother and his first wife.

This information was delivered by a well-known author

Yulia Ostapchuk who has just come to her senses…

Treat yourself.

We shall change the magnets. Where can I find them now?

I need to depart urgently!

The snow front is approaching. All the departures are cancelled.

Do you get it? Where can I find the magnets?

Hello? Yes.

What did I tell you? Where did he go? To Voskresensk?

It means Masha is there. What do I do?

You have a plan of seizure but I… Look, I can’t sit

in the publishing house waiting for the news. Bye!

Senior Lieutenant Obukhovskiy. Where is Komarov? Yuriy Komarov, where is he?

He was here just recently. He must have run away.

What do you mean? Where?

There he is! This is his plane.

Who gave the permission to take off?

Damn!

Follow me! Why are you standing? Come on!

He used to be one of the richest persons of our region.

But a patron and benefactor turned out to be a dangerous maniac.

Yuriy Komarov was to be arrested.

But fate had it the other way. Three hours ago…

…he died in the plane crush. Komarov got into a snow storm

in his four-place plane, and crushed by Voskresensk

close to the granite quarries. The remains of Komarov

and the black box were found at the crush site.

Decoding of recordings will take some time.

And now to the weather forecast…

Masha…

What? What’s wrong? Do you see?

Thanks God! Stop it! Stop it, girl! Calm down.

Calm down, everything is fine.

Hello? Masha, is that you? Masha? Masha, how are you?

Are you all right? Where are you? In a moment.

Dima!

Masha! My poor Masha!

Dima!

Masha! Masha!

Ivan Gennadyevitch, this is Dima.

Hello.

All right. Everything is fine.

– Masha! – Dima!

Masha, what’s wrong? Masha?

I’m here. I’m with you.

You and Mitya are in no danger now. He… he is gone.

Look at me.

Dima, I can’t help it. I’m still scared.

I am still scared of every rustle.

Masha, I don’t recognize you. Are you my Masha?

No. That Masha drowned.

The new one is good too. I am an expert in Mashas.

Everything is all right. Drink some tea and go to bed.

Masha, Dmitri may sleep in the big room if you want to.

I’ll move to my study. I have a sofa there.

May I see Mitya?

Of course you may. You know, he is so funny!

I’ll bring him up to be a good man.

We… we’ll bring him up.

You’re still in your coat! I didn’t even give you time to undress!

Take it off, and I’ll bring the linens.

I’ll be back soon.

Mouse… Here I am.

You’re so beautiful!

Where is my son?

He is my son.

What do you need him for? You’ll leave him anyway.

No!

You’re all the same.

You’ll get in prison.

I?

They don’t judge dead people.

And I’ve already died. In a plane crush.

I’m a fake dead man. It’s your idea, by the way.

Masha!

A bitch!

Dima!

Be quiet!

Let her go!

I don’t need her.

Be quiet!

Let me take my son, and you’ll stay alive.

Don’t listen to him.

Where is my son?

Stand still!

Don’t touch him!

Son.

This is it, honey. This time it really is the end of it.

We don’t want to sleep.

I see. The helper has come.

One can’t sleep when so many interesting things are going on here. Right?

Masha, did they get to know who was in Komarov’s plane?

Yes.

That bastard sent another person instead of himself!

Can you imagine?

He made him wear his own suit.

He also trampled with the engine.

Who died?

He found a local pilot. He promised him money and…

How terrible!

Terrible things do happen.

Yes. The friends of that pilot only reported him missing

in three days. They thought that he was celebrating his big wages.

What a pity…

Where is Dima? The guests have gathered, but the hero of the day is missing!

I won’t tell you.

Auntie Olya, you cook so well!

– Thanks! – You’re so great!

Ivan Gennadyevitch cooked a stuffed pike.

It came out tasty today!

– Put the plate here. – Thanks.

What a smell!

Where is your Dima?

He’ll be here soon. Oh, here he is.

Here we are. Come in.

Where is grandpa?

Where is grandpa?

Grandpa is here.

– Grandpa is here… – Svetka…

Forgive me, the old fool! Who is here? What is your name?

Matvey.

Come here. How old are you?

I’m four and a half.

Four and a half… Oh, my God!

Come in…

Did you have to talk her into it for long?

No. When Seryozha Volkov found her she decided that it was a joke.

But she was glad then.

Oh, God. Take your clothes off. Come in!

I love you so much, Masha!

You can’t imagine how much I love you!
