Original subtitles

The deceased has fractures of the cartilages

of larynx and hyoid bone.

On the neck of the victim, remainder of a nylon rope is found.

Was she strangled?

Approximate age of the victim is 25-30 years.

How long ago did she die?

The body is mummified so...

I’ll tell more after a radiological test.

OK.

Kristian, please check when the construction

of the Gorhall started.

In 1980.

Some additional construction began in 1988.

How interesting...

It was in the victim’s pocket.

IRA

Bon appetite.

I don’t really have any appetite.

Why do you need so many?

Do you really use all of that?

As you see.

What was this one punished for?

Here, take it.

Thank you.

Was it a vision or a recollection?

I don’t know.

I don’t remember anything like this in my life.

Maybe we shall find out why this smell evokes such a reaction in you?

Make an examination?

There is only one person I could entrust with examining my nose.

But she got married yesterday.

Do you still have feeling for Tatyana Alexandrovna?

No.

What is the problem, then? Turn to her as to a professional.

It’s out of the question.

-I’ve never been there before. -Me too.

Welcome, Irina and Gennadiy.

Cool!

Now it shall say: “Stand in a circle and hold the railing”.

The cleaning regime is on.

Wow!

This is cool!

-I am sorry, I... -What is the Wi-Fi password?

May I have a look?

Why am I asking, though?

You?

What are you doing here?

What a weird question.

This is my house.

This is our house. And you brought some whore here.

Maybe you brought her here.

Brought her and killed her.

Took a kitchen knife

and...

Right into the heart!

Are you an idiot? Put the knife down!

Stop!

Just one piece...

I felt smells of calcium carbonate and oxiteaniate on the thread

left by the murderer at the crime scene.

Oxiteaniate is a tannate of caffeine,

or tea caffeine.

It means the killer likes strong tea.

Very strong.

Very strong tea?

Maybe he is an ex-con.

I found two more smells - aluminum oxide,

polyacrylamide and tin salt.

Aluminum oxide is added when producing chalk, as abrasive.

Polyacrylamide is an antistatic, one of the substances in car polishes.

But it’s tin salt that is the most interesting.

In ancient times, it was used to treat items made of bones.

Chalk, polish

and items from bones...

Billiards?

It looks like that. But who plays billiards with balls made of bones

when there are good balls made of resin and polymers?

What did you kill her for?

You’re an idiot! Put the knife back!

You sent her to me.

Did you want me to be unfaithful to you?

What nonsense is that?

The detective you hired told me everything.

You couldn’t prove my unfaithfulness, so decided to set me up with a murder!

Help!

As opposed to you, I’m not a murderer.

Get out of here!

You’re a psycho! A real one! I’ll divorce you!

Maybe it’s his fetish

to play with old billiard balls.

-Here! -The device is connected.

How did you do that? I didn’t give you the access.

The Elephant billiard club.

They arrange public performances -

professionals play before the public, attention!...

with rare balls made of ivory.

The tickets are sold freely.

Wow!

They are expensive.

HALL - 80$̀ BAR - 100$

MASTER OF BILLIARDS

MASTER OF BILLIARDS

Stop! Rewind it.

Enlarge...

Strong tea...

Who is it?

A Zubov Dmitry Ivanovitch.

Do you have access to our database?

You’re insulting me.

A raccoon...

Zubov Dmitry Ivanovitch...

Yes!

Zubov Dmitry Ivanovitch, aka Zub.

Two terms in prison for grave bodily harm and a murder.

He owns a debt collecting company now.

It’s logical...

Gena, you’re a genius!

I mean, both of you are geniuses!

Aluminum oxide.

Tannate of caffeine.

Polyacrylamide.

Great game!

Where did you learn?

I’ve been playing since childhood. Why?

I’m renting a house on the water.

In the Silver Breeze.

The one where a girl was killed.

I saw you there.

I saw you running away.

I saw your clothes catching at the fence.

Nonsense!

Bring 30,000 euro here tomorrow, and I’ll forget about it.

You’re mistaken, man.

OK. I’ll go to the police and see whether I am or am not mistaken.

Help!

Yes, come in!

Hi.

I need your help.

Will you help me?

I am listening.

I came to you as a specialist.

I remember you wanted to write a thesis about my sense of smell.

Yes. It was very long ago.

Why did you remember about it?

I want to sort out how it all works.

I don’t think that it’s a good idea.

In any case, I need to consult my husband.

Of course.

You may consult him if you want.

How could I forget?

I have a meeting.

No need to consult him. I mean, no need to undergo an examination. Good luck!

Yes!

I’m getting ready.

Have you changed?

Listen, Kostya, I wanted to talk to you about...

What is going on?

Kostya, what is it?

Not here...

It’s our honeymoon.

Hi, fighters.

Hi. What are you printing?

Somebody rented a house on water in the Silver Breeze today.

So what? It’s a new district, the houses have just been built.

Judging from the plan,

one may see the yard of Maslennikov’s house from that house.

Wow!

This is what I am allegedly renting.

Maybe I shall live here for some time.

Is the bedroom there?

-Was somebody following you? -No.

We shouldn’t do it...

There is nobody here!

Very good.

What did you want to talk about?

I have forgotten.

One person wants to undergo an examination

and I wanted to discuss it.

-Is it the one I’m thinking about? -Yes.

I got it.

Still in love with him?

A silly question.

We may examine him together. I’ll help you.

-Do you think it’s a good idea? -Why not?

This is it. I’m going to sleep.

We can see it.

I hope we’re not the only ones.

This is bullshit!

-He is coming! -What?

He is approaching the house.

Get ready.

I’ll feel calmer this way.

Stand!

Hands! Hands!

-Freeze! Hands up! -Shit...

Damn it...

You?

All the agents are here...

Easier... my shoulder...

Mr. Lebedev!

You’re arrested on suspicions of a murder...

take him away.

THE MIRAGE BAND IRA

The concert of the Mirage band in Tallinn.

August 10, 1988.

It coincides with the reconstruction of the Gorhall.

Wilma, study the archives and check the list of all people

who went missing in summer of 1988...

Give it to me....

Damn it...

-Hello... -Hello, Victor Alexeyevitch.

Hello, Vitya.

Hello.

Take that off.

You may go.

Sit down.

I can see that you’re not doing very well in the private detective agency.

However, everything is fine at the Special Investigations Bureau.

You know, I was wrong about Serdyukov.

He is a great specialist! He catches criminals so easily!

You keep joking.

You can’t grow up.

Aren’t you tired of that?

You’re not a father to teach me how to live!

Lebedev,

you’re suspected of a murder.

There are your fingerprints on the murder weapon.

We need very

convincing proofs of your innocence.

You’d have them but for your Serdyukov. As a detained real killer.

He is still not caught.

What about the recording made by Gena?

A recording?

On it, a thief breaks in

and then disappears in the window.

Don’t make me laugh.

I repeat,

we need irrefutable evidence.

Irrefutable!

I took a decision...

I took a decision to set you free for three days.

At my own responsibility.

For you to look for those proofs.

I give you three days.

Thanks a lot, I don’t need your favors!

You know perfectly well that it’s not my fault!

Three days!

At least, give me some paper, for that crazy Serdyukov won’t believe me.

SIB

He is crying again. That baby is like fire alarm!

Can’t you see he is cold?

Come to me, honey.

Come to me, my Robert, she made you freeze.

Robert! I still can’t get used to it.

What weird names!

First Alex, now Robert...

You were outside for too long.

Go to your granny, honey.

Granny is leaving.

What do you mean? Wait, you promised...

Your father and I are going to the theatre.

I told you.

-No, you didn’t tell me. -I did.

You forgot.

-I need to go too. What do I do? -Call your girlfriend.

You know well that I don’t have...

Hire a nanny.

What nanny? I don’t have the money!

Earn. Find a job.

What job? I’m a mother!

If you’re a mother, then stay with the baby!

Comrade General,

how shall I understand it?

-What? -You let the murderer go!

No, Serdyukov. You let the murderer go.

Due to your careless actions, a special operation

on arrest of an extremely dangerous repeated offender Zubov was disrupted.

A special operation?

Yes, a special operation. Sanctioned by me.

Why didn’t I know about that special operation?

-I decided not to get your involved. -I see...

Yes. I was afraid that you’d ruin it.

And you did it - even without knowing!

Do you have doubts in my capabilities?

They are still there.

Under your head,

the per cent of solved crimes in the First Department

fell to the very bottom.

That’s because you, Serdyukov,

headed the First Department of the Special Investigation Bureau

not thanks to your talents but thanks to the VIPs you know.

Instead of looking for a real killer you’re doing...

God knows what, frankly speaking.

I will give you three days.

Cooperate with your colleagues, exchange info.

It is a fact that when Lebedev was heading the First Department,

the percentage of solved crimes was much higher.

Go and work, and don’t engage into...

Did I make myself clear?

They are here.

How are my girls? And boys?

Why the rush?

I’m ready. We may go.

Dad,

what is the name of the performance?

What performance?

Did you forget? We’re going to the theatre.

We shall rush.

I see.

The performance is called the Bitch and the Rag.

Any ideas?

-Gena? -I don’t have any.

After our former colleagues had taken you away,

I looked out at the balcony

and studied everything attentively.

It turns out that before coming to the house we had rented

Zubov communicated with Pavel Maslennikov, your client!

You’re a genius.

Who are you?

Special Investigation Bureau. A detective.

May I come in?

It’s dirty inside. What did you want?

Do you know this person?

I see him for the first time.

Zubov Dmitry Ivanovitch. He killed the girl in your house.

Oh, really?

Are you sure you’ve never seen him?

Never.

If you see him or remember something, tell us please.

Good-bye!

Dima, stand up!

We need to talk!

What is he doing in the cellar?

Where shall I go then?

Hide. You’ll have enough money.

And then, we’ll think of something.

I’ve just legalized

and started a normal life!

Please understand! They are looking for you. You can’t stay here.

Why did you run away?

You should have killed that detective on sight!

I thought that your wife came home.

Like we had planned.

OK.

It’s not important now.

He is coming out!

Shit!

Damn it!

We should have installed cameras by the entrance!

It’s dangerous. He could notice them.

We will have to install them anyway.

-How? He has seen all of us. -Not all of us...

He is driving out!

-Is he alone? -I think so.

What shall we do?

Break into the house and put normal bugs and preferably a camera.

Stay here. Let us know at once if he returns.

What do I do?

Wait for us, we’ll be there soon.

Keys, Gena!

Don’t scratch it...

You haven’t been driving for a long time...

Let’s go.

Thioridazine hydrochloride.

Zubov was here. Pavel put him to sleep.

There are traces of sleeping pills in the cup.

Put him to sleep?

Zubov is in the car.

Unconscious.

Gena? The GPS? Where are they?

Road Е605.

It’s in 28 km from here.

Get ready fast, we’ll follow them!

Fast...

Oh! The chokes...

Maybe I shall drive?

Who will watch the beacon?

Is there a signal?

There is some interference in the car. I shall reload it.

-Well? -One moment.

Now, now...

The interference won’t go away.

Switch mobile phones off, everybody!

There is no time to wait! You’ll sort it out on the way.

Not so abruptly....

Oleg Petrovitch!

They drove out!

They are moving westwards along Е605Highway.

How many cars?

I don’t know. Only Prokopenko has a beacon in his car.

There!

Freeze!

Oh, this is you, man!

My savior!

Let’s come to terms.

I’ll pay as much as you tell me.

Spade on the ground!

OK, OK.

Stay where you are, everybody!

Hands...

Freeze!

What about a preventive shot?

Into the air?

According to his plan, Marina was to return

and find Ilona’s body at home.

With Marina’s fingerprints on the knife.

What did Maslennikov need that for?

He wanted to divorce his wife for a long time.

However, according to their marital contract,

the one initiating the divorce was to leave without any property...

Hello.

Good morning!

Sit down, Oleg Petrovitch.

According to the data of the ballistic expertise,

a bullet was extracted out of the body of late Pavel Maslennikov

that had been shot from your personal weapon.

Judging from the greasing,

it was the first to be fired.

It means we’re talking about a murder.

For the period of investigation,

I withdraw you, Serdyukov Oleg Petrovitch,

from your working duties.

Your pass is annulled.

Sign here.

Any questions?

No.

You may be free, then.

For now.

You may be free too, Anatoliy Borisovitch.

Victor Alexeyevitch. I’m so glad to see you again!

We all missed you so much!

See you, Victor Alexeyevitch! See you soon!

Hello, Vitya.

Here is my written testimony.

Sit down. We need to talk.

Sit down.

I want you to return to the SIB.

I don’t think that it’s possible.

Will you go on running after unfaithful husbands and wives?

It’s a good job, and they pay well.

What will happen now?

I think you’re the next.

Why?

A new broom will come and clean up.

Damn it...

Why me?

Why not you?

Because I’ve been working here for long.

For very long. Do you get it?

I couldn’t act otherwise then. I just couldn’t!

Do you understand?

Or no?

OK.

“Sorry, I was wrong”. Is it what you wanted to hear?

Can you repeat it in front of the entire department?

Return to the position of the Head of the First Department.

We’ll perform your absence as a very long vacation...

OK.

Plus, vacation money.

A quarter.

A quarter from the amount of the alleged vacation.

OK.

You didn’t forget about the apology in front of the department, did you?

Lebedev, stop getting on my nerves.

A half of the vacation money.

And I’ve already apologized.

This is it.

Welcome back, Victor Alexeyevitch.

Maxim!

Don’t get so upset. Maybe they will just demote you

or move to another department. But you shall pack your things now.

Hold this.

For good memories.

Oh, guard dog!

Why are you so upset?

Victor Alexeyevitch, why be happy when one is being fired?

Who is firing you?

But...

how?

A good employee.

Almost dislocated my shoulder. I can’t see a reason for the firing.

There is nothing better than to begin a day...

...with a cup of fragrant coffee!

Yes?

Come, it’s urgent.

-What has happened? -Not on the phone.

Why?

-There was no need to! -Shall I take it back? To the pawnshop?

I was going to buy it out soon.

I have the invoice. It’s never late to do it.

Thank you.

You’re welcome.

Well?

In summer of 1988, no people went missing.

But I found something interesting in the KGB archive.
