-Good morning! -Good morning!

Come here! Faster! Here!

[Music playing]

Damn it...

The death was registered at 9:11.

What? What happened?

Dad...

Daddy!

The incoming call. Tallinn.

Take the call.

-I'm listening. -Good morning. We need to talk.

Robert, onion!

Onion, Robert! Smell!

Look for it!

Smell for onion, Robert!

Smell!

Look for onion!

What is going on?

We're playing.

Why didn't you call? You were going to come later, weren't you?

Oh, well...

you're in a hurry all the time.

I decided to make you happy.

Come to mummy. Mummy missed you.

My boy! My sweet boy.

Is everything all right? My honey?

What is it?

Can't you see? An onion!

What is it doing among the toys?

We were playing.

Looking for an onion by smell.

Mum!

What? As if I can't see who Robert looks like?

I'm not blind.

We shall develop the child's sense of smell from the earliest age.

I understand your sorrow and sympathize with you

but we need to stick to certain formalities.

We shall transfer the body of your father to the morgue

to prepare a conclusion on the cause of his death.

What did he die of?

Excuse me, but we both know that your father

had a serious oncological decease...

An oncological disease with high chances of remission.

He could live and live!

I don't follow.

I want to find out the real cause of my father's death.

It's your right.

Do you want to call the police?

No.

Not the police.

Yes.

OK. But I'll have little time.

Tell me the address.

Why are you hysterical? We just smelled an onion!

I prohibit you from experimenting on my son! Do you get it?

What experiments? It was a game.

Why are you dramatizing?

After your game, Robert got allergic! Now I know why he got sick.

-Oh! -You're risking my child's life!

If you're so smart, bring him up on your own.

I will never cross the threshold of your house again!

Very well!

Sit here alone -

instead of developing your child's capabilities

so that he could earn as well as his father!

Robert's father doesn't have any special sense of smell!

Don't think that you're surrounded by idiots -

like yourself!

Get out!

With great pleasure!

You are unlucky with mother, Robert!

Get out!

Don't cry, don't cry.

Idiot!

Who is it?

What is going on?

Potassium chloride.

This is too much.

What are you up to?

There were six people in the room including you.

One of those six added

a mortal dose of potassium chloride to the dripper.

Your father was murdered.

What now?

Call the SIB.

I'm being late for a plane. Good-bye!

[Sneezing]

Idiot!

Our wards are for two people, for the patients not to get bored.

Starikov's neighbor is Malyshev Igor Valentinovitch.

Yesterday, they played chess with Starikov and had a serious argument.

What happened?

Starikov accused Malyshev of cheating.

The argument was tumultuous.

Both of them were throwing chess figures.

Starikov even threw the clock at Malyshev. We barely calmed them down.

Did they threaten each other?

After the argument, Malyshev clutched at his chest,

and Starikov's blood pressure rose. What threats?

Just in case, I put them in separate rooms.

What dripper did he have? Who prescribed it?

I did. I prescribed drotaverine to decrease pressure.

Where is Igor Malyshev now?

How much does it cost to spend old age here?

It's all so expensive, like in a restaurant.

Listen, I read

a lot of detective stories

and I know

that if I am a murderer, I shall have a motive and an opportunity.

You had lots of opportunities.

I agree.

But a motive?

A quarrel after a chess game?

You can't be serious, Colonel!

You shared the ward with Starikov.

Maybe you know who had a motive to kill him?

Of course I do.

His dear daughter did.

May I take it away?

Lesha was on very bad terms with Anya, his daughter.

They were arguing a lot, even in my presence.

Why?

Anya upset her father greatly with something.

He even wanted to cross her out of the testament.

A testament?

Lesha was a very rich person.

Didn't you know?

Hello. Glad to see you.

Hello. What happened?

Do you want some tea? Wilma!

Brew some tea for our guest.

Hello. No sugar, please.

Here you go.

Sit down.

Do you know this bicycle?

This is a bicycle from my childhood.

Where did you take this photo?

Yes, we were quarreling sometimes.

My father was an authoritative person.

He believed that I had to listen to him in everything,

especially in matters regarding my private life.

Plus, father's disease may make anyone angry and irritable.

He was simply venting his anger at me.

Did he want to cross you out of his testament because of his disease?

I thought you were looking for a killer, not collecting rumors.

You didn't answer my question.

I loved dad - despite of anything.

And I'd never - never, do you hear -

raise a hand against him.

Look for a killer in some other place.

Where were you at night and in the morning on the day of your father's death?

At home.

Are you accusing me?

No. Not yet.

Good-bye, then!

Three days later,

you were found in a completely different place, in Mustamiae.

What happened?

I don't remember.

Absolutely.

I didn't remember that in my childhood too.

On the day of your disappearance, a murder took place in Gorhall.

Can you remember at least something?

Alas, I only came to my senses at home.

My dadr told me that I had gone missing.

I only remember that I went to the construction site. And then...

-Your tea. -Thank you.

I suggest going to the Gorhall.

It stands forgotten now. Maybe some recollections will resurface.

They would help us greatly.

OK.

A five-year contract is concluded with the patient or his relatives;

during that period, the nursing home undertakes to care for the patient.

The package includes residence, meals, care, physiotherapeutic

and other medical procedures.

Before moving to the nursing home,

each patient undergoes a medical examination

to exclude possible serious diseases.

If such a disease is found,

the patient is insured.

It's an obligatory condition.

If a patient falls sick with something serious during his or her stay

in the nursing home, the insurance company reimburses the treatment in full.

Even cancer?

Even cancer.

It did happen with Starikov, by the way.

When did Starikov move to the nursing home?

About three months ago.

Who was paying for his stay?

Starikov himself.

He was a rich person.

Do you recognize it?

Unclearly...

Did you remember anything?

What was at the construction site here?

I remember leaving my bicycle here

and squeezing through a hole in the fence.

And then...

We have been cooperating with the Golden Autumn nursing home

for three years. It was beneficial for everybody.

First, the nursing home was insuring itself against large expenses

in case of some unforeseen diseases of its patients.

And we, in our turn, widened the line of our insurance products considerably.

But it's very risky, isn't it?

An old person has much higher chances of falling sick.

Yes, you're absolutely right.

This is why our clients undergo a complete examination -

at their own expense, of course.

In this way, we insure ourselves.

During three years, the program proved to be highly efficient.

This is our know-how, an insurance product tested in a branch.

The Healthy Insurance is a large European company,

and the success of our branch inspired our central management

to introduce that product in other countries too.

Hypothetically, your insurance company

might be interested in Starikov's death.

To avoid paying for his expensive treatment.

The Healthy Insurance has been

at the market of insurance companies for over 50 years.

Our reputation is spotless.

Yes,

it would be ideal for insurance companies if nobody was ever sick,

then we would't bear losses. But life is life.

And the Healthy Insurance always pays!

Always!

For example, three years ago two of our clients fell very sick.

And what?

Nobody died.

Our company paid for their treatment in full.

I'm sure that you know about that.

Moreover, I know what a serious disease and death of a close person means.

Three years ago, my father died of stomach cancer.

My sympathies.

Give me the umbrella. And sit down.

Wilma, please pass the case materials to our guests.

Sorry.

At what time was Anna Starikova informed of her father's death?

At 8:49.

She came to the nursing home at 9:11... It makes...

Twenty two minutes.

According to her words, she was at home

which is in 30 km from the nursing home.

Taking the traffic into account...

It shall take no less than 50 minutes.

Not 22 minutes for sure.

The loving daughter is definitely lying.

She was close by when her father was dying.

Maybe even very close.

Anna's car smells of a sawmill.

Maxim, we need to find a sawmill

in 10 km radius from the nursing home.

I want to get there.

When is your flight?

We'll be in time.

I talked to father a couple of days before his death.

About what?

When dad found out that he was had cancer,

he wrote a testament right away.

Did you know of its contents?

Everybody knew it.

In case of death, father's property was to be shared evenly

between me and my sister.

However, during our last conversation

dad said that he wanted to reconsider the testament

and even spoke to his lawyer about that.

What do you mean by “reconsider”?

He wanted to deprive Anya of a large share of the inheritance.

I need the phone number of your father's lawyer.

-Do you recognize anything? -I was here.

Do you remember anything else?

No.

To the airport?

You have a visitor. The visitor hasn't been identified.

Alla Georgiyevna?

Switch the mike on.

I'm listening.

Good evening. We need to talk.

Open the elevator.

How interesting!

What is in the jars?

The smells?

The samples.

So many?

The tea is ready.

Are they for comparison?

I've just arrived.

It's late.

What did you want to talk about?

We had difficult relations.

Maybe there is some of my fault in it too.

I often demanded impossible from you.

But now, I understood and reconsidered many things.

And?

I'd like to correct it.

To restore good relations.

For the sake of grandchildren.

Grandchildren?!

It's hard to co-exist with my crazy daughter.

Even I can't always do that.

At some point I used to blame you for everything

that was going on between you two.

But now I realized that I was wrong.

Please accept my apologies.

I'm not drunk.

Or anything like this.

Will you accept my apologies?

Well...

No need to hurry with the answer.

There are years of misunderstandings and reservations between us.

I understand that it will take time to correct it.

But I sincerely want it.

Really.

Yulia told me everything.

Nonsense.

Alexey Petrovitch! Alexey Petrovitch!

He is out. He'll come after ten. Did you want something?

Branitskaya from the 12th ward shall be on diet no. 3 from today.

Branitskaya... The ex-actress? The one in silly hats, right?

Right.

-Did something happen? -She has cancer.

What? Her too?

It's a real epidemic...

Unload!

Which one are you renting out?

All of them!

Anna Starikova was in this house for some time.

Who is renting this house?

I know who Anna Starikova was coming to.

Yes, I am renting a house at the sawmill.

It's convenient, I don't lose time for commuting.

Where were you at night of Starikov's death?

There.

-Alone? -Yes.

We found out that you have intimate relations with Anna Starikova.

She was with you at night of the murder.

Yes, this is true.

We love each other.

However, we had to hide our relations

because her father was openly against them.

Anya didn't want to make the old man angry.

Did you go out of the house during the night?

No.

May anyone confirm it, except for Anna Starikova?

Nobody.

No, these are not hallucinations but recollections.

I only remember bits and pieces.

I have to make the entire puzzle.

It's most likely that your recollections are blocked

due to stress or shock...

And?

To unblock the recollections, you need a new stress,

a directed one so to speak.

OK.

How do we create a directed stress?

Do you have a sample of the smell that woke your recollections up?

Yes.

I need that sample... and electricity.

What?

A small jolt of electricity. To provoke stress.

I may be a human dog...

But definitely not Pavlov's dog.

Mr. Starikov's testament will be announced in a week.

According to it, Anna and Oleg Starikovs will receive 50% of the interest

of the AgroProduct holding belonging to their father

as well as 50%

of all the other property belonging to him - real estate and movable assets,

money on the account and cash. Everything!

He shared it all fairly, right?

Well... "Evenly" doesn't always mean "fairly".

What did you talk about with Mr. Starikov a week and a half ago?

Do you mean the reconsideration of the testament?

Did Oleg, Starikov's son, tell you the story about that?

Yes, he did. Why "a story"?

You see,

Starikov worried for Anya,

feared she could tie the knot

with a person who would love not Anya but her money.

Because of that, they were quarreling constantly.

You know, there are such independent strong women...

Oh yes, I know...

Anya has an affair.

A serious one.

With a doctor from the nursing home.

Starikov found out about that

and decided to check his potential son-in-law out.

How?

He spread rumors

that he wanted to cross his daughter out of the testament.

If the groom's feelings for Anya were sincere,

they wouldn't be changed by the change of the testament.

If not - who needs such a fiancé?

-Your client was a wise man. -Yes... he was.

Listen!

You can't give up!

You shall fight!

Do you hear? You shall fight!

Leave me alone!

First of all, we shall find out where Steblov and Starikova were that night.

OK.

You'll see, we'll wait for an hour...

Everything is covered with chlorine there.

So...

The dog is disqualified. Let's get down to real business.

It is chlorine indeed.

This is it; I can't stand it anymore...

I have been walking in the park up to midnight,

I couldn't sleep.

And then?

I went to bed.

The walk helped with insomnia.

Why did you quarrel with Branitskaya?

Who told you?

The lady from the buffet?

Why did you quarrel?

Olga and I had relations, so to speak.

Platonic, of course.

When she found out about her diagnosis, she retreated into her shell

and stopped communicating.

I tried to distract her somehow...

How long have you lived in the nursing home?

Two years.

Why?

Starikov and Steblov spent the night in the Star Plaza hotel

in the center of the city. There are cameras there.

Thank you.

There is an excess of potassium chloride in her blood. She was killed.

I need medical cards of all patients

who died here during the last two years.

Yes, sure.

You have a visitor. This is Victor.

Damn it. Switch the mike on.

The hostel for trumps has moved. Turn to the social services!

I came on business. And I brought you fruits.

It doesn't sound good...

Open the elevator.

I checked medical files of the people who died at the nursing home

during the last year

and found four similar cases.

Old patients suffered sudden deaths of heart stops

after being diagnosed with oncological diseases.

Was kind patient Malyshev relieving his neighbors of sufferings?

At first, I thought so too.

But to make sure, I kept studying the medical files.

If Malyshev is the killer,

then there shouldn't be such deaths at the nursing home before his move there.

And?

There were.

Five similar cases.

All together, nine deaths in the course of three years.

A serial killer?

A serial killer?

What nonsense!

They began three years ago,

when your company began cooperation with the nursing home.

Before that, there wasn't a single case.

Don't you believe in coincidences?

If we're talking about a murder, then no.

Excuse me.

How do you like this coincidence?

I have an irrefutable alibi for the time of both of your murders!

Will you believe that?

Frankly speaking, the expertise hasn't been finished yet

and we don't know the exact cause of death.

-Do you see? -My apologies. Good-bye.

Good-bye.

Good-bye.

What did you find?

Traces of fight between the owner of the office and another man.

The argument was so serious that the owner threw

a glass into the visitor.

What, except for you,

may evoke such a reaction from a calm and reserved person?

You'll be very surprised to find out.

What is going on? Why didn't you eat?

What sense does it make?

What sense does it all make if you've been diagnosed with cancer?

Oh, God...

First Lesha,

then Olga,

and now it's my turn...

He was killed.

With the same potassium chloride.

Can you imagine? I heard that people began making alcoholic-free wine!

Can you imagine?

Like grapes juice?

No! It is real wine.

They evaporate the alcohol from it in some way, I don't know...

-How interesting... -Interesting? This is nonsense!

Why drink wine if it contains no alcohol? What sense does it make?

You know, I don't have any girlfriends except for you.

Is it because I am a bitch?

I don't think I am a bitch but I have few girlfriends too.

So, I am a bitch, after all?

Stop it.

OK...

God, I understand everything myself. Yes, this is who I am.

You know, I'm very grateful to you.

To me?

Yes.

Why?

You pulled me out of the mental hospital.

People thank me so rarely... it's usually vice-versa.

I'm touched. We shall meet more often.

Right.

Damn it, what are you doing?

I told you after Starikov that you should calm down and stop!

Why did you kill Branitskaya?

With the actress, it was a clean murder.

That police vacuum cleaner couldn't smell anything due to chlorine!

Why did you kill that... Malyshev?

I didn't kill him!

Of course! Did he inject potassium chloride to himself?

Are you a maniac?

Are you killing for pleasure now?

Did I clean your father's nappies for pleasure?

Do you remember begging me to do all I could

for him to die faster?

I did all the dirty work instead of you.

And I wasn't a maniac then, was I?

When you asked me to kill the first old man because your genius idea

of insuring old folk didn't work out well,

I wasn't a maniac too, was I?

"Another payment for insurance,

and the company will fire me"!

I wasn't the maniac then, was I?

-Time to arrest them? -Why are you shouting?

No. Let them talk some more. For a longer term.

Shut up.

May I? Just with one eye. Nobody will see me.

It's against the rules!

Colonel promised me a personal participation in the arrest operation!

That was my condition for playing a dead body.

Stay here. I'll find it out now.

I paid you well for that!

You did. And you will go on paying for my silence.

What a bitch!

Time to arrest them or they will kill each other.

-Bastard... -Attention, we're coming in.

Be quiet, be quiet!

OLGA

A bitch, yes?

You're an idiot!

Idiot!

Follow me.

Freeze!

Stop it!

No nonsense, please!

Sorry for going away...
