Sveta signed a renunciation of her maternal rights.
She doesn't have any rights to the boy now.
Stop, or I'll shoot!
Come on, Lypa! Move it!
You gave me your word that you wouldn't do it anymore! What a bastard!
We may suppose that Ermakov killed Ivanenko and hid the traces.
And that the police failed to find them. Why would he do that, though?
He gave up his criminal ways.
Serezha! It's the same as with drunks. They can't just give up.

I'm sick and tired of them!
Calm down, calm down! Let's just talk!
Art Director - Svetlana Smirnova
Did you mean this scarf? I brought two scarfs from China.
For mum and for myself. Mum didn't like the scarf
and gave it away to somebody as a present.
Yes. Yes, Kalinin. We sent it there in the afternoon.
What? What do you mean? All right.
‒ What happened? ‒ The expert called.
What does he say?
No one was killed with that knife. It's a fake.
The blood on the blade is paint.
The agreement is valid. I have it. Let's meet tomorrow.
I did everything as it should be done. I packed it, tagged it,
and added a statement.
Who was in the office when you were preparing the knife for the expertise?
Nobody. Before that the victim came ‒ Ladynina's daughter.
She wanted to read the case materials. When she saw the knife,
she almost fainted. I brought her some water. She drank it and left at once.
Tischenko, are you in your sound mind?
I want to see a signed protocol on my table in half an hour!
Yes, sir.
Maybe I shall detain you too.
I don't get you. On what grounds?
On the grounds of involvement in the stealing of a piece of material evidence.
You made up a non‒existent address of Krasilnikov,
lured me out of the department and let your accomplice steal the knife.
My accomplice didn't tell me anything.
I got to know about the disappearance of the knife from you.
As for the address, we may summon Lypa for a confrontation
‒ and she'll conform it. ‒ You called her before we left for Rodion.
Of course I did! It's my duty to inform her about the case,
because she is my client.
This is it! Carry your investigation out
as far from my office as possible! If I see you here once more,
I'll detain you for three days!
‒ Kalinin? ‒ What?
Don't get mad. Please understand - she cheated on all of us.
If we act together, we'll find the knife. Do you know what we shall do
first of all? We shall search Ladynina's house.
What are we going to look for?
It's clear that she won't return and hide the knife there.
‒ We may find some other clues… ‒ Right.
Announce Maria Olegovna Ladynina wanted, immediately!
‒ Makar? ‒ Serega?
Hi, Makar. You came in time. Masha handed something over to you
when you were absent. How was your trip?
Makar?
Serezha, will you tell me what had happened? What's wrong with Makar?
Masha stole the Scythian knife from the police.
It's impossible!
It's possible! She managed to do it thanks to the information
provided by Makar!
Are you sure that it was Masha who did it?
Maybe it's just a misunderstanding. Maybe you're slandering her!
We're sure. Nobody else could have done that.
I don't believe that Masha did it.
I didn't believe that such things can happen twice. But they can…
thanks to your normal Masha who resembles Nadya!
Why are you shouting at me? I have nothing to do with it!
Calm down!
Right! Let's all bang the doors now!
"I believe that you hate me right now. I deserve it, because I lied to you.
I'm sorry but I didn't have a choice. I hope one day you'll understand me.
Our relations started as a game.
However, the feelings that I had for you lately were real. I love you.
It's a pity that we didn't meet under different circumstances".
All the money is on your account now.
"Don't look for me".
I got it. The post. Yes. Bye and thanks! Take your things!
‒ We're going for a meeting with Rodion. ‒ Did you find his address?
My friend with connections with postal workers told me
that his post was delivered to a nursing home.
And?
Anyone - both patients and doctors - may get their mail from the ward.
Wait. He is not a doctor. He is a… nobody.
It may be so now. However, he used to be a male nurse.
So, he is still getting his mail there.
Sure. Let's go. We'll meet him in the pre‒arranged place. Yes.
‒ Will you throw this crap away? ‒ Let it live.
Come on.
We have been sitting here for three hours.
It's good that Nika made some sandwiches for us.
I wish you cared about the case as much as about food!
Do you know a saying - "when I'm eating I…"
Wait!
‒ I think it's Krasilnokov! ‒ Right.
The bird is in the cage.
‒ Serezha? ‒ Yes?
Don't press too hard on him; let's just talk.
We'll see.
‒ Rodion? Let's have a talk. ‒ Calm down, calm down…
‒ I didn't kill anybody! ‒ Calm down, calm down…
How do you know so many details if you hadn't killed Ladynina, as you say?
I'm a writer! I have rich imagination!
There are too many coincidences for it to be a work of imagination.
What about the incredible resemblance between your heroine
and Masha Ladynina? Did your imagination conjure it?
I worked at nights and noticed: as soon as the lights go off
elsewhere in Ladynina's house, Masha's window comes alight.
I supposed that she was hiding something from her relatives.
It inspired me, and I decided to make Masha a criminal.
Wait. How did you find out about the Scythian knife?
‒ I told you! I was observing them! ‒ Calm down, calm down!
I decided d to find out more about my heroine's life.
That's why I was watching Masha. She almost caught me a few times.
One night I saw her burning something behind the house.
I waited until she left and…
I snatched one piece of paper from the fire.
It was a drawing of an ancient knife. It was my luck.
I realized that the knife she drew made an ideal murder weapon.
I had to study the archives, of course, to get to know about its origins.
I see. What did you see when watching Ladynina's house?
‒ I wasn't watching it! ‒ Calm down, be quiet!
‒ I was just observing! ‒ Calm down!
All right. You were observing.
Did you see who entered the house before Mitya Ladynin?
It was a woman. I didn't see her face but I recognized her at once.
She had a scarf on - the one Masha Ladynina wears. Mitya came after her.
Then you came…
Let's go and talk.
Makar, it all coincides. Masha stated that her brother was not a killer
because she killed her mother herself.
Wait, Serezha. Nothing coincides. There were two scarfs.
Masha showed me hers. Before the police found the knife
wrapped in another scarf - the one Ermakov had.
Now we need to find out who had the other scarf.
This is what interests me the most. What shall we do with him?
We'll take him to Kalinin. Let him give evidence.
All right. Take him to Kalinin, and I'll check something out.
‒ Well? It's time to perform your duty! ‒ What duty?
Hello, Makar. Did you come to me or to Sveta?
‒ I came to you. ‒ Good. I'm listening.
You and Ladynina were close friends, right?
Yes.
I'd like to know who had the second scarf.
What scarf?
A Chinese silk scarf. Masha told me that she brought two scarfs -
for herself and for her mother.
Yulia Mikhaylovna gave hers away as a present.
Why are you standing? Come in.
One second… Sit down.
Now tell me about these scarfs.
Yulia Mikhaylovna gave her scarf away as a present.
You see, she liked to dress well. She didn't like that scarf.
She decided not to wear it. She said that it was too dark
and made her look older. Why are you asking?
A witness saw the murderer entering the house in the scarf.
The knife with traces of Ladynina's blood was wrapped in it.
‒ What about Masha's scarf? ‒ She still has it. I saw it.
So, it may only be the one that Yulia Mikhaylovna
must have given to… you.
The list of suspects shortens to two persons.
I have only one question - who wore the scarf? Sveta or you?
Tell me, Makar…
will you give me a lift to the city?
‒ I need to see the investigator. ‒ Answer my question first.
No. It's urgent.
I don't have time. I want to confess to a murder.
It's so weird to be in this park ten years later!
I'm thinking all the time… how would it all be
had I not listened to mum and driven you away.
Mum was dancing to Ladynina's tune then.
I don't know. I don't know.
You had somebody, didn't you?
Was he Kostya's father?
He was… but he left me as soon as Kostya was born.
Was it because Kostya was special?
Yes.
And also because Kostya'a father was married.
I thought that it would be an insignificant affair…
that it would take my mind off you. However, it happened so that…
Hello? This is me.
You want to give Kostya back, don't you?
All right, we'll come in the morning.
I told you that we'll do it!
No, wait! Stas, what if I fail? I tried to do it once;
I even had a nervous breakdown; I wanted to commit suicide!
‒ Stop it! ‒ You don't know what he is like!
One shall watch him all the time. He may shout without any reason.
‒ He is barely talking… ‒ First, I'll help you. Secondly,
we'll find a good development program for him.
Don't worry about the money. I have the money and I'll pay.
Everything will be fine!
It all started when Yulia Ladynina offered us to send Kostya
to a care home for rehabilitation. We had to pay for that,
because otherwise we'd have to wait for our turn for a year.
Ladynina had an acquaintance in the care home and so she arranged it.
Do you want to say that you bribed the director of the care home?
‒ How much did you give? ‒ It was a huge amount. 300,000.
I hoped that Kostya would get better and that Sveta would have some rest
and maybe even arrange her personal life.
Of course, I didn't have such money.
I borrowed here and there and… I gathered the money
and gave it to Ladynina. Then it turned out that we were cheated on
and that we lost Kostya forever.
How could you think
that the renunciation of the maternal rights was fictitious?
I don't know. For some reason I believed Ladynina.
Later I went to Yulia and asked her to change it all back, to help us.
However, she said that nothing could be done
and that we should be grateful to her for our Kostya was an imbecile.
Wait… this is not important. The main thing is…
I came to her and asked for her help. I saw the envelope
in which I handed the money over.
That's when I understood everything.
Why didn't you turn to the police? Why didn't you file a statement
on Ladynina? We'd arrest her for swindling.
Oh, God, what police?
I went to the care home. I begged then…
They told me that everything was done lawfully.
Sveta had her first nervous breakdown. The director threatened me
with sending Sveta for a compulsory treatment to the mental hospital.
‒ Are you unwell? ‒ Yes. Give me some water, please.
This is it. Come on, put it down. Put it down.
I came to Ladynina.
I asked her to help us once more. She didn't answ… she didn't help.
A knife was lying on the table. I took it… I took it and…
I stabbed her with that knife.
Kalinin? I'll call the ambulance!
Yes, the ambulance!
‒ Aren't you cold? ‒ No, I'm not.
I hope you won't catch a cold.
Everything is fine. I haven't felt so good for ages! Thank you!
Let's go shopping, Sveta! We'll buy new clothes for Kostya,
‒ pencils, notebooks, pens, books… ‒ One moment.
And something tasty.
Wait. Hello? Yes, this is Sveta Tsaryova. What?
Stas, mum is in the police department. She had a heart attack.
Let's go! Faster!
Mum, how are you? Can you hear me?
I can hear you, Sveta. Everything is fine.
The doctor said that you had two micro‒heart attacks.
Why didn't you tell me that you felt so badly?
Forgive me, Sveta. I'm very guilty before you. I ruined your life.
Mum, don't think about it. I'm fine. Stas is with me.
We'll take Kostya home tomorrow. You'll recover and come back too.
It's good that your life is coming back to order. You shall live,
bring Kostya up, have a child from Stas.
Remember about it when you find out everything.
‒ What will I find out, mum? ‒ It doesn't matter. I love you.
Mummy, I love you too. Mum! What's wrong with her?
Get her into the car. Be quick!
Mum! Mummy! Do something! Mum! Mummy!
Where will you take me? To the prison?
Sit down.
Sign the protocol and go home.
Home? Did you catch the murderer?
Alexandra Tsaryova killed your mother.
Alexandra Sergeyevna? It's impossible. She was mum's friend.
Tsaryova confessed.
I don't believe it. I want to talk to her.
It's impossible. Alexandra Sergeyevna died three hours ago
in a hospital of an extensive heart attack. Sign the protocol…
You may be free.
‒ Makar, the dinner is ready. Let's go. ‒ Serega…
Wait! Nika made your favorite varenikis!
Serezha, thank you but I'm not hungry.
You haven't had a bite since yesterday!
Let's go to the kitchen and talk about it!
Leave me alone, will you, Serezha? Do your own thing,
and I'll do mine! I'll go for a walk.
Makar, Masha isn't there!
Good evening. May I come in?
‒ Of course, you may! Hello. ‒ Hello.
I'm cleaning up a bit.
My wife and my son will come the day after tomorrow.
Do you want some tea or something to eat?
No, thank you very much. Where is Masha?
She had to meet you, didn't she?
No. She called right after I switched my phone on.
She said that she was fine but she was on a trip. She promised to call later.
I wanted to call her back, but her phone is switched off. Why are you asking?
She promised to share some information about the Scythian knife with me.
She must have been busy and forgot about it.
It's very important, though. May I look for it in her room?
Of course, you may! I'll make some tea, after all.
Thanks.
Damn it! Please be more careful next time.
All right. I will.
It just seemed to me that there…
Will you tell me about it when you know more?
Of course, I will! You're my client!
I'm your client who doesn't pay but who is madly in love with you.
Nika, I wanted to tell you…
Babkin, look at what I found!
Masha opened a bank account a few days ago.
How will it help us?
What do you mean? This is the account
for receiving the money from the sale of the Scythian knife!
She'll want to cash that money.
Kalinin announced her wanted. She'll have to buy new documents. I see.
Guys, I don't understand anything, How may it help you in this situation?
If we find out in what bank branch she will cash the money,
we'll be able to catch her.
Hi. When did you last hack a bank?
I think we shall inform Kalinin.
Shall we confess to a hacking attack at a bank too?
First, it was not an attack but a quiet infiltration.
Secondly, we may refrain from disclosing our sources.
‒ Thirdly, I told you before that… ‒ Wait. She is coming.
‒ It's high time to call him now. ‒ Wait with your Kalinin, will you?
Let's detain her ourselves! When she goes out of the bank with the money,
we'll ask her a couple of questions and call Kalinin after that.
Thanks.
Lypa!
You scared me!
For a moment it seemed to me that it was Viktor.
Are you really so scared of him?
I…
I left him. He won't leave it like this.
Lypa! Lypa, I promise…
no, I swear that I'll be able to protect you
from him, from everybody! Do you believe me?
I… I don't want to stay here any longer. Let's go away!
Let's do it!
I've already gathered your notes.
There is no need to do that anymore.
What do you mean? What about your book? Won't you finish it?
I've already finished it. I sent it to the publishing house long ago.
I have a meeting with the chief editor tomorrow.
How long may one count the money? We have spent two hours here!
I think we missed her.
‒ Let me go in and look. ‒ Go.
Hold this.
‒ What is it? ‒ Look.
She received the money and went to the toilet.
This is what I found there.
There is no way we will find her now.
What are you saying? Do you really think that we won't?
It's not the end of it, Makar.
What would you do without me? What would I do
without my friends from the road police?
You'd pay fines for parking in wrong places.
‒ I do pay them. ‒ What do you have?
Here you go. Without them, I wouldn't get the records
from the surveillance camera by the bank.
Here, here… There she is.
When did she come in? 11:45.
Move further.
11:45
Wait, wait!
‒ Wait! Go back! ‒ All right.
Stop. This is her!
Did you recognize her gait?
No. Look, Serezha. A woman with such looks didn't enter the bank.
‒ Yes. ‒ Move further.
Yes.
Yeah.
‒ This is the taxi she left in. ‒ Put the plate number down.
Yes. Do you think the taxi driver will remember
this beauty and where he took her?
‒ I suggest checking it out. ‒ Let's go!
This is our driver.
Good afternoon.
‒ Hello. ‒ Hello.
‒ I'm Makar Ilyushin. ‒ Sergey Babkin.
We're private detectives.
We have a couple of questions. You gave a lift to a girl
from the Institutskaya Street. She was of medium height,
with dark hair and in a black coat.
I don't remember my passengers. The only thing I want from them
is to pay and not to smoke in the car.
Look at the photo. Do you recognize her?
Do you know how many people I drive every day?
I don't remember their faces.
I can see that you use a navigation system.
‒ May I look at it? ‒ Please do if you need to.
Be quick, though, I have to go on working.
All right. Thanks. When did she leave the bank?
At 12:05.
12:05 - the Podbelskogo Street, 38. Do you remember the house?
I remembered it now. We didn't go all the way there.
She went off somewhere here, in four quarters to the place.
‒ The Tomashevskaya Street. ‒ Thanks.
‒ Good‒bye. ‒ Good‒bye.
Where shall we look for her now?
Shall we visit all the apartments in the house?
I wonder where she could have gone…
Anywhere! She could have stopped another car
and go to the other end of Moscow. The Tomashevskaya Street, 19.
Where do I know this address from? I remembered!
I saw it when checking the database!
Filipova Nina Dmitrieyvna was her name. Do you remember?
Was she a sister of Uncle Zhenya, the last husband of Ladynina?
Exactly! She has an apartment here. House number 15, apartment 350.
‒ This is it. I'll go there myself. ‒ Makar, don't be a fool.
Serega?
Makar, wait! Let's call Kalinin. Let him come and sort it out.
Let him arrest her… Serezha?
Makar!
Serezha, listen to me. I'll bring her to Kalinin personally. I promise!
Makar, Makar…
Tomashevkaya Street, 15.
Ilyushin is listening.
Entrance 7, floor 12.
‒ Hi. ‒ Where is the knife.?
It's where it should be.
You're clever. I think you can guess it yourself.
I ask you… how did the Scythian knife end up in your house?
Icons are not my only specialization. I work with the weapons too.
‒ And? ‒ Troitskiy called me and offered a job.
They couldn't turn to official restoration workshops
for there was something cheesy about that knife's origins.
He asked me to restore it. I studied the knife and realized
that it was my chance. If I did everything fast enough, I could earn a lot.
It meant that the mortgaged house wouldn't be taken away,
and that Mitya's wife would come back to him and he would be happy.
‒ Of course, I agreed. ‒ So, you decided to steal it, didn't you?
How did Artemyev get it? Do you know who he is?
I know. He sells antiques.
Ask anyone who worked with it about his ways.
He robs poor widows by buying real engravings
of Durer or paintings of Vermeer for nothing.
He tells them that they are fakes!
Did you decide to steal what had been stolen?
What do I have to do with it? Mum found the knife and re‒hid it.
She had a sixth sense for such things. She must have thought
that thanks to that knife she would be able to return to her former lifestyle.
Then mum was killed, the knife disappeared, Mitya got arrested and you…
You promised to find her murderer. Do you remember?
I've found her. It is Tsaryova Alexandra Sergeyevna. I kept my word.
‒ Wait. Alexandra Sergeyevna? ‒ Yes. She confessed to Kalinin.
Makar, this is impossible. I came home 15 minutes after Mitya had found mum's body.
Hello.
I met her on my way home. She smiled to me.
She was going from the shop. She held a bag in her hand.
Do you think she killed mum on her way to the shop?
Do you think she killed her and then went to buy chicken and milk?
It's simply impossible!
I know. She wouldn't have time to do it, hide the knife
and come back home as if nothing had happened.
‒ Do you see? You failed to keep your word. ‒ As if you cared!
The only thing you needed was the knife.
What about me? Was I just a means?
What is it?
Two tickets to Berlin. We'll change flights there.
One of the tickets is issued in your name. Let's go with me!
Let's go!
You don't have who to spend the dirty money with, do you?
You'll find somebody else there!
I don't need just a "somebody". You know it well.
I don't understand anything now.
What is there to understand? I love you.
Stop it.
What if he gets scared and doesn't want to go with us?
No "ifs", Sveta. We'll manage it.
Let's go.
Kostya, honey, I'm your mum.
He doesn't understand what is going on. Hold him by his hand all the time.
These are the papers on the child. You'll have to sign a few statements
and gather some other documents to restore the maternal rights.
All right. I'll do it.
If you have any questions, call me. I may help with the papers.
Of course, I'll call you.
‒ Let's go. ‒ Good luck.
Good‒bye.
Kostya!
"I'll be waiting".
Catch it! And back!
Once more! Good!
Here we go!
Good!
Sveta, look! He likes it!
He likes you.
‒ Hello. ‒ Hello.
How may I help you?
I was going to Nika.
Come here.
Is it your son?
Yes. We brought him home today.
I still can't believe that he is with me.
I feel so ashamed for sending him away.
Yes. A feeling of shame is so weird!
It makes people do weird things sometimes. For example,
your mother confessed to what she didn't do. Is that so?
Let's talk inside.
Look! I made it! Here…
You killed Ladynina for Kostya got into the care home because of her.
No. Why do you think so? I have nothing to do with it.
The facts say so. The evidence points to that too.
The murder weapon was wrapped in the scarf that Ladynina gave to your mother.
Maybe mum was wearing it that day when she went to Ladynina.
She wasn't. She was in a shop and a witness saw her
‒ returning home after the murder. ‒ Your witness is lying.
The witness isn't lying. It's her daughter Maria. She can't be lying.
All right, I'll tell you everything.
It all started when I found out that the idea to send Kostya
to the care home belonged to Ladynina. Mum just danced to her tune.
When they didn't even let me see Kostya, I went to Ladynina at once.
I wanted her to withdraw the claims.
It's you!
Yulia Mikhaylovna, I was at the care home.
They refuse to give Kostya back to me. Do you hear me?
I'm talking to you. Do you hear me?
Ladynina hit me.
Calm down, stop your hysteric!
After that, I snatched the knife.
What is…
She wanted to hit me once more, tripped and fell on the blade.
I heard the steps and realized that somebody was coming.
I took this scarf off my head, wrapped the knife in it
and ran away through the back door.
You told your mother about it, and she took the blame.
No. Mum… I didn't tell her anything.
But she guessed it herself.
Mum could see that something was wrong with me.
I didn't see and didn't understand that she was so sick.
She was trying to change it all until the end.
She wanted me to turn a new leaf, to be happy. Mum succeeded.
I am happy now. When I was going to Ladynina,
I felt that my life was finished, that nothing good would happen
and that it would only be worse. I didn't think about the consequences.
I have to pay for that now, when Kostya and Stas are with me.
Let's go. I'm ready.
Where to?
To the police. I'll confess to everything.
At least the memory of mum will be clean.
I believe that Ladynina turned your life unto hell. I believe in fate too.
Your fate is to be here, with your family.
Sveta, we're here.
Come here.
What happened? Why are you crying? Did he upset you?
No, Stas. I'm crying out of happiness.
Mum…
Kostya! Kostya!
Makar's mum has just called. She was asking why her son's voice
was so weird and why he was answering her questions so curtly.
‒ "Did anything happen"? ‒ Did you tell her about Masha?
Are you crazy? She'll be here in two hours.
No, I want to have a calm life. Makar is strong.
He'll get over his psychological trauma on his own.
Serezha, you shouldn't behave like this! It's wrong! First, she is his mother.
She has to know. Secondly, she knows how to cheer her son up.
‒ Calm down. ‒ This is wrong.
Nika, let's sit down, drink some tea and decide what to do with Makar.
Hi.
What is it? What's wrong with your faces?
Hi. We are… we have been waiting for you.
‒ How was your day? ‒ Fine.
‒ How are you in general? ‒ I'm fine.
At least I did one thing right.
Let's drink some tea.
