Today at our conference, we'll sum up the results of this quarter.

Dear colleagues!

We aren't just controlling the quality of the food.

We're guarding our citizens' health, and it's not an exaggeration.

I am glad to announce the best inspectors of this quarter.

The first one is Boris Eduardovitch Komarovskiy!

It's a huge honor for me...

A huge honor...

Urgently! Ambulance!

No, when he was going up the stage, he was fine.

When he started to talk, he shook and fell at once.

I checked his pulse,

made the indirect heart massage... and I didn't know what more to do.

He visited an Italian restaurant not long before his death.

I feel the smell of mozzarella and capers.

The deceased also smells of sodium metabysulphate...

What is it?

A potent allergen. It's used in food industry in production of juices,

beer and wine as a foam suppressor.

Damn it! Metabysulphate!

In large quantities!

Victor Alexeyevitch!

Here is what the victim had in his pocket.

Nice...

He must have loved his wife a lot...

Cause of death?

Asphyxia caused by the edema of the respiratory tract.

Supposedly of the allergic nature.

Was he allergic to sodium metabysulphate?

I don't know.

Maxim, interrogate the waiters.

I can't see anything bad.

The membranes are fine.

I was thinking...

maybe I shall try to restore my memory?

Right... Borenka...

What a nightmare...

Come in, please.

Was your husband allergic?

Yes. To dairy products and peanuts.

What about metabysulphate?

What is it?

We found a ring in your husband's pocket.

Oh, Lord...

My Borenka... my honey...

Please try it on.

He did love.

But not his wife.

Is that the ring?

Please give evidence back.

Everything will be all right.

You may start.

Stop, stop!

Komarovskiy's declaration of his profits for the last six months.

Very modest.

This is the real estate registered in the name of Komarovskiy's wife.

His wife doesn't work anywhere...

One more thing. He bought a high-class car.

A month ago.

It's registered in his wife's name.

Corruption...

Do we have a list of companies inspected by Komarovskiy?

I am preparing.

What did the waiters say?

The jar with lemonade was open.

Any of the people present could have added metabysulphate.

I found something!

Komarovskiy often called the subscriber "Lyonya Car Repair Shop"... here.

He used to call him in the evenings.

I determined the place where Lyonya was receiving almost all the calls.

Car repair shop?

Lyonya's car repair shop is located in a very weird place -

in the Italian restaurant Escara Mucho.

The Italian restaurant...

He visited an Italian restaurant not long before his death.

I felt the smell of mozzarella and capers.

I haven't been in an Italian restaurant for long...

The Ambu sack!

It's not here.

Damn it!

Lebedev, I didn't call you.

I need money for operative expenses.

Look, I am busy now. I...

was called to the Ministry.

A meeting.

I'll come back and sort it out.

I see.

Why didn't you tell me that you had a heart surgery?

Not exactly a heart surgery.

They extracted a bullet out of the heart sac.

Did you manage to remember anything?

No more electricity.

Well. Bruschetta... is something like a sandwich, right?

One may say so.

It's usually eaten as an appetizer.

A bruschetta for me. One.

Anything else?

Nothing more.

And for you?

A glass of water.

Is that all?

Yes.

You order is one bruschetta and one glass of water.

Are you all right?

Some experiments are too dangerous to conduct on animals,

that's why they are conducted on people.

Let's get down to business.

I wonder what Lyonya Car Repair Shop looks like.

One minute.

Aren't you at the Ministry?

The thing is...

the meeting was rescheduled.

It happens.

There is no need to inform the others about that.

I got you.

It's a funny story.

Your bruschetta.

And a glass of water.

Bring the invoice to that table behind the curtain.

I beg your pardon?

You may say: "This is an invoice from Lebedev. The operative expenses".

Hello!

Please come up to our table.

We're here.

Here.

I thought so.

Let's play Cinderella.

-I am listening. -Sit down, please.

We can't sit with clients.

I'm Colonel Lebedev from the SIB. Sit down, please.

Please try this ring on.

Try it, try it!

Do you know Boris Komarovskiy?

No.

Yelena...

Kuzmina.

Yelena Kuzmina, we're talking about a murder.

Therefore, think well before answering my questions.

Please tell me - do you know Boris Komarovskiy?

Yes.

Were you his lover?

No.

I mean I was. We're going to get married.

What is the problem?

It was all like this.

This is not all. I just didn't realize it then. Because of the age.

This is the invoice from Lebedev. Operative expenses, he said.

I never, never called him first.

He always called me - so that his wife didn't find out.

Weren't you surprised that he didn't call for a couple of days?

No.

Borya loved making surprises.

My Borya...

-Time to go home. -Yes. One moment.

-Good morning, Victor Alexeyevitch! -Good morning.

-Good morning! -Good morning.

I found something.

Komarovskaya was married twice.

And her first husband...

Did he die too?

No, he is alive. A Seleznyov Grigoriy.

He works as an inspector in the same Bureau of Food Control as Komarovskiy.

He was present at that conference.

Call Seleznyov and Komarovskaya for the interrogation. Separately.

This is for you.

-What is it? -I don't know.

The courier brought this in the morning.

Lena, maybe you shall take a day-off?

No. It's better for me to work.

Then get yourself in order.

Alla Victorоvna, what connection do you have

to your ex-husband Grigoriy Seleznyov?

I don't understand the question.

We have no connection.

When did you last see each other?

Six years ago.

When we were divorcing.

Grigoriy, when did you last see your ex-wife, Alla Komarovskaya?

Alla?

Long ago.

I don't remember when.

Why are you asking?

Did something happen to her too?

No, she is fine.

How did you buy a car?

You don't work anywhere.

I'll only answer this question to a representative of a tax service.

Did you know that your second husband,

Komarovskiy, was unfaithful to you?

This is a weird question.

Do you suspect me of anything?

Your husband, a modest civil worker Boris Komarovskiy,

bought property the value of which exceeds his income considerably.

Not to evoke suspicions, he registered that property in your name.

You found out that your husband has a young lover.

In a case of a divorce, he would get a half of your joint property.

You decided to kill him out of jealousy and material motives.

You knew that he was allergic.

All you had to do was to find an accomplice to add an allergen

to Komarovskiy's lemonade,

providing for your 100% alibi in this way.

What a cool fairy-tale.

Do you have proofs?

You're a very bad investigator.

Such tricks won't work with me.

Sign my pass to leave.

They found everything out and are questioning me!

I don't know what to do!

What do I do? Hello, do you hear me?

I do.

We shall get rid of that bysulphate at once! Do you get it?

I do.

Happy birthday! Come on! Happy birthday! We toast you!

Victor Alexeyevitch?

Will you drink cola with us?

Three-star one?

For my birthday?

OK!

Switch the music on.

Edward Grieg.

-The Dinner Playlist? -Yes.

-OK. The last one. -Victor Alexeyevitch?

You have children and wives at home. And this is an office, not a bar.

Another half an hour and...

Fifteen minutes.

Happy birthday!

-Happy birthday! -Happy birthday! Come on!

Let's hurry up a bit...

Incoming call. Irina Nordin.

Accept the call.

Yes?

Good evening. This is Irina. I am looking for Victor.

Do you know where he is?

There is no connection with him, and I worry.

I have no idea.

I beg your pardon.

Switch the music off.

Shall I repeat?

An accident.

She wanted to get rid of the evidence, slipped, fell

and hit her head against a stone.

A sample of the sack and powder.

We gave you up for lost.

Hi. Are you already here?

Metabysulphate. In big quantities. This is all I may say.

You could have woken me up!

Take this.

Sit down.

The waiter will come to you in a minute.

Lena! You have another parcel.

-Who is the sender? -It isn't written here. Please sign.

What stupid jokes?

Lena, maybe you shall turn to the police?

What do you want?

A present. For Robert.

He has everything. No need.

Won't you let your own mother in?

No, this trick won't work.

I came to apologize.

Will you treat me to tea?

Is the conclusion ready?

Not yet.

And what may you say now?

If she had fallen and hit her head against a rock,

the bones of the scull would have fractured linearly.

But she has a depressed fracture.

Somebody hit her hard on the back of her head with a dull object.

-Here is the conclusion. -What happened?

-Nothing. -Is it because of yesterday?

You're so smart!

Don't I have a right to drink a glass of beer?

Of course, you have!

Nobody is encroaching on your freedom!

Did you drown the phone in beer?

It got discharged...

I have been thinking a lot about us recently...

I think I was a bad mother.

I allowed you

to take too many independent decisions.

Because of that, you made a lot of mistakes in your life.

But fate gave you the second chance.

Being your mother, I won't let you waste it.

What are you talking about?

Your child's father.

I visited him.

He confessed.

What?!

Yes, he is a bit weird but still,

he is quite rich and reliable.

I think that you simply must

restore relations with him.

Don't you dare interfere into my life!

I am your mother!

I know better what you...

Don't you dare interfere into my life!

He pulled you out of the bathroom when you...

Get out!!!

You're crazy...

Get out!!!!

Why didn't I make an abortion?

Е131?

Seleznyov, Komarovskaya's first husband,

left on a business trip yesterday, at 16:20.

His ex was killed between 7 and 10 p.m.

It's not him.

I need a couple of bottles of green Irish beer.

From different producers.

-Shall I take chips or nuts? -No.

And one more thing. A bottle of light alcohol-free beer. I'm waiting.

What is the catch?

I didn't know it existed.

They are only producing one variety.

Light alcohol-free.

Won't you drink it?

For friendship!

How interesting.

"Our Slavic ancestors were brewing green beer long before the Irishmen..."

How funny...

For the Irishmen!

Е131.

What is "Е131"?

Food coloring.

I love the word "food" in connection with the word "coloring".

The other name for it is "blue patented five".

It's produced by synthetizing of coal tar pitch.

This is why Е 131 evokes allergic reactions,

intestine disruptions, skin rush and asthma bouts.

I almost believed you.

Why did you decide that the coloring is blue if the beer is green?

Beer is yellow.

Coloring is blue.

What do we get by mixing colors?

Now - metabysulphate,

the foam suppressor used in production of juices and beer.

The sack reeks of hope and E131.

It means it wasn't juice, it was beer.

Green beer.

Just one type, did you say?

The Irish Green.

Produced by the beer brewery called the Arctic.

The Arctic...

A month ago, Komarovskiy inspected that brewery for violations.

He didn't find anything.

A week later, his wife bought an expensive car.

We have what to work on. Tomorrow.

Listen...

What, again?!

Will you give me a towel?

You have a visitor. This is Yulia.

Switch the mike on.

I'm listening.

I didn't come for long. I have a baby in the car.

Open the elevator.

Welcome, Yulia!

I came to apologize for my crazy mother.

She came to you, didn't she?

For some reason, she believes that Robert is your son.

I beg you, if she comes to you again, please convince her

that Robert is not your child.

She doesn't listen to me.

I think these are the irreversible consequences of the old age.

-Look, I... -No need to justify yourself.

We are both adults, and each of us has private life.

-This is not that... -Don't say saying.

I won't interfere. Have a good...

Hi!

For some reason, I am not surprised.

It was expected.

This is true.

We had a force-majeur a couple of weeks ago.

A sack of metabysulphate went missing from our storehouse. It's a potent poison.

Was it the reason why Komarovskiy came to you with an inspection?

Among other things.

In his report, Komarovskiy stated

that he didn't find any violations at the plant.

He did us a favor. As a fellow human.

If an investigation was started, the production would be stopped,

and the customers would not get their favorite drink!

What customer care!

However, we did conduct an internal investigation.

And?

Nothing. Come here.

Put this on.

Damn it!

Here you go!

THE ARCTIC

Is it all metabysulphate?

No. We also have colorings and fermentation accelerators...

Kolya, did you go blind?

What an interesting story!

If Komarovskiy had instigated an investigation -

instead of taking a bribe - he might have been alive now.

Corruption kills!

Done!

THE ARCTIC

THE ARCTIC BREWED WITH LOVE

Wow!

Here is the list of surnames of the employees

who had access to the storehouse.

Oh...

Do you like it?

It's cool, isn't it?

It was my idea to make a calendar with pictures of the brewery's employees.

They are beauties! You won't say that at the plant!

Employees of the brewery?

Does lady to the left work here?

Kuzmina?

Yes, she worked here.

The most beautiful model!

Unfortunately, she left even though

I offered...

to raise her wages.

Yes, I worked at the Arctic two years ago.

Then, I left.

Why?

Because of the director?

Two people are already dead. You may become the next victim.

I left because Borya insisted.

He was jealous of the director.

Could director threaten Komarovskiy because of you?

Six months ago, weird things began to happen.

I started getting dolls,

nicely dressed dolls.

And naked too.

In one of the boxes, I found a note saying:

"Leave him or you'll regret it".

Then, it stopped.

And recently, after Borya's death, it stated again.

Did you keep the dolls?

Only one.

The last one.

I know who sent this doll.

Seryozha!

Hi!

You?

What are you doing here?

I decided to come to you.

I want us to be together.

You want it too.

Do you remember taking me to the cinema?

Only one time,

but it was my fault,

I didn't want to go anymore.

I was a fool.

I didn't recognize the real feelings.

I kept your present, thought.

-Cool, right? -Take it away.

Why? I like it.

Take it away, I told you!

Why? It's just a doll!

Or isn't it?

Are you sure he isn't armed?

It was a joke.

The main thing is, we can be together.

Nobody will stand in our way.

Now.

I'm very grateful to you for killing that old goat.

You killed Borya, didn't you?

You saw him having a fit

when metabysulphite spilled from the sack.

You called the doctors.

You even helped him.

Are you drunk?

Lena, go and sleep.

Damn it.

Lena, go away.

Lena, this is it, go out!

I saw you watching me in the restaurant!

You're a maniac, a pervert!

Get out!

You killed Borya!

You're a killer!

Shut up!

Borya was a real man. Unlike you.

A rag!

No good!

Do you want to join your Borya?

I may arrange it.

Attention! Get in.

You'll now see your Borya, bitch!

Come here!

Damn it!

Freeze!

This is it.

It's all behind you now.

I told you to get out. Why didn't you listen to me?

I don't know. I wanted to end it all...

I didn't want to kill anyone.

I wanted that goat to stop bothering Lena.

How did you meet Komarovskaya?

I thought that if I told her that her husband was unfaithful to her,

he would stop his affair with Lena.

But the matters only got worse.

He decided to divorce.

So, Alla Viktorovna came up with an idea...

Why did you kill Komarovskaya?

She got scared and decided to put the blame on me.

I had to, I didn't want to do it...

Take him away.

Oh, wow.

What are these women capable of!

If I come to the same place where I was 30 years ago

and use this,

will it stimulate stress?

I don't know. We may try.

I see.

Thank you.

-Where are you going? -To the airport.

Hello.

Hello.

If you came to enquire on the body,

the expertise hasn't been finished yet.

Oh, now, I came for another reason.

I'm the former wife of your...

expert.

I've known Vitya Lebedev for ages.

Did you notice that he has changed a lot recently?

And?

I understand your lack of trust - we don't know each other.

But I worry for Vitya.

I want to tell you something.

Here is my phone number.

Call me when you think fit.

I'll be looking forward to your call. Good-bye.

Good-bye.
