Okay. We're going, guys?

Okay, so, Alexei,
I want to talk about something

that we sort of touched

And you might hate this,

but I really want you
to think about it.

If you are killed,
if this does happen,

what message
do you leave behind

to the Russian people?

Oh, come on, Daniel.

No.
No way.

It's like you're making a movie
for the case of my death.

Like, again, I'm ready
to answer your question,

but please let it be
another movie.

Movie number two.

Like, let's make a trailer
out of this movie,

and in the case
I would be killed,

let's make
a boring movie of memory.

running against the man

Alexei:
If I want to fight Putin,

if I want to be
a leader of a country,

I have to do something

Well, uh, I have to kind

I was banned from everything.

Television, banned.

Our office was raided,

So, we went to Siberia

to make a nice movie

I expected a lot of police.

I expected a lot of people
who'd try to prevent

our filming,

or just break our cameras
or try to beat us.

I expected that sort of things,

"Hmm, why is nobody here?

Why is there kind of --"

this strange feeling

like a --
like a lack of respect.

"Seriously?

I'm here,

Grozev:
The moment when I heard the news

that Navalny was poisoned,

my first thought was,
"Can this be the Kremlin?

Would they be so dumb to try
to kill an opposition figure?

The main opposition figure?"

I was skeptical.
I thought, "Hmm.

Maybe it's one
of the many oligarchs

on whose feet he has stepped.

Either it's
a state-ordered attack

or it is somebody
who is trying

to assassinate
opposition figures

in order to appease Putin."

Man #7:
The closest anyone's come

to tracing a poisoning
to Vladimir Putin --

The 2018 attack
in Salisbury, England.

Man #8: A defiant Kremlin
insisting again

that he had nothing to do with
the brazen assassination attempt

of former Russian spy
Sergei Skripal.

Skripal was poisoned

by the military-grade
nerve agent Novichok.

The insidiousness
of Novichok is that

it actually starts switching off
your nerve connectors

in your body one-by-one.

If it's dosed properly, it will
just turn you off as a body.

But then within hours,
any trace, it will disappear.

So it will always, forever look
like it was a natural death.

And this is why it appears to be
the preferred form of killing

for people whose death will be
under public scrutiny,

such as Navalny.

There was a lot of pressure

Many millions

We, in Berlin, are a small team.

We had to dive into, like,

Pevchikh:
We all were very skeptical

about investigating
Alexei's poisoning.

As opposed to previous cases,

this poisoning took place
on the Russian soil,

so no one is going
to share CCTV footage with us.

We're not going to have

It was so crazy, like it's
Putin's signature poison.

We were actually so shocked.

Grozev: Traditional journalism

implies you meeting
with a source

and that source
telling you a story.

In today's world of fake news,
we don't trust sources

because we don't trust humans.

We trust data.

Bellingcat is an organization
of digital nerds,

most of us with a little bit

of almost autistic-like
fascination with numbers.

Every time you use your e-mail,
you make a phone call,

make a doctor's appointment,
take a plane or a train,

any time you use the ATM,

every time you actually look
at the screen of your phone,

that leaves a trace.

In place like Russia,

imagine the person who works
at a travel agency

that has access
to the flight manifests,

they're getting, what,
25 bucks a day as a salary.

And then for another $25,

they will be able to sell
that flight manifest

to anybody who asks for it,

just because they'll double
their income for the day.

This is a whole industry.

Data brokers are
on the dark web.

You negotiate the price and
within a few minutes, they say,

"Yep, I can get that data
for you by tomorrow."

And then you have
to send Bitcoin.

Now, Bellingcat can't pay
for that data

because it's a foundation,

so I have to pay
for that data myself.

Over the last five years of me
working on data journalism,

I would say I've spent $150,000.

My wife has no idea about this.

My wife suspects I've spent
probably $2,000 or $3,000.

If she knew the real quantum,
she wouldn't be my wife.

watch the movie.

She's not watching this movie.

I'm absolutely sure she's not

once he's released
from intensive care,

he will have a desire
to go to Russia immediately.

Grozev: For the longest time,

I wasn't sure
what to make of Navalny.

I had always wondered how much
of an independent figure he is

or is he one of the many
fake opposition figure

created by the Kremlin.

I've criticized him on Twitter.

I mean, he was known for having
flirted with the extreme right

in the early days
of his career.

He'd walked side-by-side

with some pretty nasty
nationalists and racists.

Had he moved beyond that?

Had he actually become
a reverse dark knight?

Alexei: Within all my career,

I've been asked the same
15 questions all the time.

Are you afraid?

Are you working for Kremlin?

What is your family doing?

You have a responsibility
for your family.

When if it's, foreign --
foreign, uh, journalist,

they're asking about
nationalism and Russian March.

And every one of them,
Jesus Christ,

just watch previous interviews.

Roher: Hold on.
Were there not

a couple of Sieg Heil-ers
at that thing?

Sorry?

Were there not a couple
of Nazi guys at that march?

Certainly a Sieg Heil-ers
would be a different category

that you would not
want to associate with
or march beside.

Well, in the normal world,

in the normal, uh, political
system, of course,

I would never be within the same
political party with them.

But we are creating coalition,

broader coalition
to fight the regime

just to achieve the situation

where everyone
can participate in election.

'Cause a lot of politicians
would be uncomfortable

even associating or being
in the same photograph

as one of these guys.

You're comfortable
with that?

I'm okay with that,
and I'm --

I consider it's --
it's my political superpower,

I can talk to everyone.

Anyway, well, they, uh, are
citizen of Russian federation

and if I want to fight Putin,

if I want to be a leader
of a country,

I can-- I cannot just ignore
the huge part of it.

Well, there are a lot of people

who call themselves
nationalists.

Okay, let's discuss it.

We're living in the country

when they are poisoning
a politician and killing people.

And, uh,
arresting people for nothing.

Uh, so, of course,
I am totally fine

to sit with a guy
whose, uh, whose rally

looks kind of not
very good for me.

Grozev: The Russian media
didn't find anything,

and German investigators
didn't have the jurisdiction.

So we realized, "There's nobody
who's actually going

to actively investigate this
unless we jump into this."

♪♪

We knew that the poison
was Novichok

and Novichok, we had proven
in the previous investigation,

is only manufactured
in this facility

called the Signal Institute.

The Signal Institute in Moscow

works under the guise
of a R&D center

that develops advanced forms
of sports, nutrition drinks.

That's the legend.

Yet, they employ,
for this work,

12 scientists whose only
experience and background

is in chemical weapons.

Our hypothesis --
this is the entity

that actually provides
the poison for the killers

who travel around the world
poisoning people with Novichok.

So what we did is we bought from
the Russian black market

the phone records for the head
of the Signal Institute.

We looked at numbers
that only appear

just before
the poisoning of Navalny,

and those were suspicious.

But once we have
a suspicious number,

you go through a number
of Russian apps

that allow you to see
how that phone number is listed

in other people's phonebooks.

So, for example,
I put in my number

and it will show up as Christo
the journalist from Bellingcat,

because somebody would have put
my name into their phonebook

and that description would have
been shared into this app.

First number I looked up,

showed up as
"Alexey doctor from FSB."

Well, that was interesting.
A doctor from FSB?

Alexey?
But that was not enough.

We couldn't place a real person
behind this name.

Then, I would look up
if this number showed up

in any car-registration
databases.

And we found an actual
Alexey Alexandrov who owns a car

and this number was listed
for contacting that person.

So, then you have a real person
with a birthday.

Then, you look up
his passport file,

you see his face.

You repeat that many times with
the other suspicious numbers,

and then you have a short list
of interesting people.

And these became
our prime suspects.

Now, we knew when Navalny
had traveled to Siberia.

We had the actual
passenger manifests

of six different flights
that had flown into Novosibirsk

where Navalny flew from Moscow
on the day before,

during, and after the day
on which he arrived there.

So, we needed to see if any
of those suspicious people

traveled to Siberia
at the time of the poisoning,

and we found an overlap.

We found a nest of wasps
we didn't know existed.

It's a domestic assassination
machine on an industrial scale.

I was absolutely shocked
that this was so fast

and the whole plot
disentangled so quickly,

so I just reached out by Twitter
and said, "Alexei,

I think we may have found
who poisoned you."

Alexei: After I had went out
of the hospital,

I decided to move
to Black Forest

and live in some small village.

You can just walk for hours
and not meet any person at all.

These are my German friends,
actually.

The little pony is my friend
and donkey is Yulia's friend.

And this is, uh,
routine of our walk.

Come here, my little pony.

Isn't he sweet?

Better than your donkey.

Everybody like
the small pony.

It's like usual.

But donkey is like...

Woman #7: Now an exclusive
investigation can reveal

a top-secret mission...

Ward: An elite team
of operatives

has been tracking
Navalny's every move

for more than three years.

Alexei:
Oh, thank you very much.

It's an honor for me to be on
such a big television of Spain

and I'm very pleased

that you are paying attention
to this situation.

So, thank you very much.

This scheme which looks like
it's from the movies,

but in this particular case,
it's a real scheme

with real people.

Putin on the very top.

Ward: In mid-August, Navalny and
his team traveled to Siberia.

At least five members
of the FSB unit

make the same journey
on different flights.

Well, they can't be
tailing him now,

but of course,
I'm sure they're trying to.

Thank you.
Thank you very much.

Back in Tomsk, there was a surge
in communications

among the FSB unit
and their bosses.

If it was expected that
Navalny would die on the flight,

they were now scrambling to deal
with a very different situation.

Can I ask you
a couple of questions?

Was it your team that...

So, you've said that you want
to go back to Russia?

You're aware of the risks
of going back?

-Definitely.
-Why do you want to go back?

I don't want these, you know,

group of killers exist
in Russia.

I don't want Putin
being president.

I don't want him
being czar of Russia.

I want to go back
and try to change it.

Fantastic piece.
-Yeah.

-The dream team.
-Absolutely.

they have a big problem.
