ANNA, THE DETECTIVE

THE GAME
EPISODE 32

Up! Don't get up, gentlemen, don't get up.

Good morning, Your High Nobleness.

Good day, Nikolai Va... Morning.

Good morning.
I spent the night in my office, too.

Why not? Napoleon slept on his
narrow field bed in his palace, too.

Except when he had ladies over. Sergeant!

Two... three cups of tea.

Thank you.
Some tea would be very welcome right now.

Excuse me, I'll go wash up.
I can't wipe the sleep out of my eyes.

So how is your
topographical investigation?

I marked...

marked all the spots with a clay floor
intersecting with deciduary forests.

Moreover, look,
some maps have isolated structures marked.

Sawmills, hunter huts and fisherman huts.

Well, that's commendable.

What's this?

This is an abandoned sawmill.

Abandoned sawmill...
This is where we're going to start.

I am going to lead the main squad here.

The second squad will come through here,
the third one through here.

And that way we will enter Zatonsk woods.

They won't get away.

And you, turn the city upside down,
gentlemen!

Good morning.

No, there is no mirror here.

I have one in my purse,
but the Cerberus won't let me.

I didn't think I'd fall asleep,
but I slept like a baby.

You're tired. It's a long walk to here.

What do they want from you?

I don't know. What about you?

I don't know either.

Our lunch.

What was it... Olgerd!
Bring us a mirror, please.

It's not hard.
You can't live without a mirror.

Just bring it up to the window,
we'll have a look and that's it.

Thank you, I'm not hungry.

-Do you think Yakov is going to save us?
-Yakov Platonovich. Of course he is.

But he's deprived of one of
his main resources right now.

-What is it?
-Your help.

-Are you being ironic?
-No. Not at all.

I know how much you've done for him.

-Why, was he bad in St Petersburg?
-He was brilliant.

But he had a different
resource to help him.

-What was it?
-Me.

So you're trying to say
Yakov Platonovich is a bad detective?

I'm not trying to say anything.
How long has it been since you saw him?

It was recently.
Just before you brought me here.

He came to visit the knyaz.

The knyaz? What did they talk about?

I don't know what they talked about.

But I think Yakov Platonovich has an idea
about the reason for your kidnapping.

-Did he say so?
-No, he didn't say so.

-But that's what I think. Why?
-Nothing, nothing.

Pan Shtolman,
I'm ordered to take you there.

-Take me where?
-The place they're expecting us.

Please, follow me.
There is a coach outside.

-Blindfold him.
-What is that for?

-That's the way it is.
-What the hell is this?

-Why, this is the hotel.
-Of course.

The man expecting you
has a deluxe suite there.

So why did you drive me around
blindfolded for an hour?

That's what our master ordered. Please.

I'm listening, Mr Shtolman.

Relieve your zolnierz.

Your revolver, please.

What was that farce with the blindfold?

See? You're surprised.

While you were driven, you were worried,

counting turns, listening to every sound.

And me? Here I am.
Right here in front of you.

-Funny, isn't it?
-It'll be funnier if I just arrest you.

What for?
You don't have anything at all on me.

Here I am, living at the hotel,
under my own name.

-How did they let you pass?
-Your hounds? They're looking for Poles.

And I have a French passport. A real one.

A man from the French embassy
helped me out with it.

He lost a lot, too.

Enough, Pan Grochowski. Where are
Lady Nezhinskaya and Lady Mironova?

You're starting in the wrong place,
Mr Shtolman! Where is my money?

-You... you got it all.
-I didn't get anything.

Lady Nezhinskaya paid you in full.

My man received the money.
And the next day, he was killed.

He didn't have the money on him.
You have to pay.

What are you saying?

I'm saying you came up with a trick
together with that madame.

It's as if you gave him the money,
and then what? Then...

What is this nonsense?
The money was given to your man.

What happened to him after
that isn't our concern.

Here, Mr Policeman!

I thought I was playing
with a respectable man.

You lost, so you must pay.

If that doesn't happen,
you won't see the madames.

They will be buried alive
or drowned in a swamp.

And no one will be able
to connect it with me.

You're accusing Nezhinskaya and me, but...

But what does Lady Mironova
have to do with it?

The money, Mr Shtolman!
Bring it, bring it.

You have until tomorrow.

I paid that debt once already.
Didn't you know, Yakov Platonovich?

Nina came to me and said that
she needed money. A lot of it.

And I procured it for her.

Did she say that money was for me?

Not at the time.
I found out later, after our duel.

-This is a complete surprise for me.
-I understand.

Please excuse me.

Yakov Platonovich, wait. Wait.

I can't get all the money so quickly,

but we need to at least give
that card cheat the down payment.

Please wait, I am going to collect
some cash around the house,

and send a promissory note to be cashed.
Wait.

So boring. Could you call somebody?

-Who?
-Pushkin, for example.

-What for?
-He would tell us a fairy tale.

About King Saltan.

I can, of course,
but you won't see him anyway.

You can tell me how it was later.

Who are you?

Brother, it was her! It was her.
She killed me.

Who are you?

Who are you talking to?
Can you see something?

What's the matter?

-What?
-What's the matter?

Our guard had a brother. He's dead.

-How do you know?
-He came.

What did he say?

He sang a song in Polish.

A song in Polish...
How could that help us?

-What's the news?
-A runner came from the squad.

They went all over the southern objective.
No success so far.

They're going to spend
the night in the village.

-That's bad.
-Yes.

-I have a plan. I'll give them the money.
-What money?

They're demanding ransom.
Ransom they will get.

May I?

Is it real?

It's just the down payment.
Grochowski lives at the hotel. And...

-Who, who, who?
-Don't interrupt.

I am going to the hotel.
You're coming with me.

-But they must not recognize you.
-Got it.

We'll get him when the
money changes hands.

Just copy the numbers on the bills.

-All of them?
-At least one out of every pack.

-When do we go?
-As soon as you've finished writing.

Should we take someone along?
As insurance.

I have a man.
He's coming to the hotel with us.

-You said his brother was singing a song.
-Yes.

-Do you remember it?
-The melody and a few words.

-Can you sing it?
-Yes. What for?

It might make our Cerberus come in here.

And then we dart outside
and lock him up in here.

-Can you do all that?
-We have to try.

-Let's see how he reacts.
-All right.

-How do you know that song?
-It's your brother's song.

He came to you.

-How do you know Andrzej?
-I don't know him. He's dead.

You're a witch. Witch!

Witch, shut your mouth!

You can't know my brother!

Witch!

Why? We just... We just wanted to escape!

Run!

Were you trying to trick me, Mr Shtolman?

No, no, this isn't the hotel.

Did you want to get me at the exchange?

How naive. How cocksure.

It's bad in your line of work.
What did you expect?

It's just the down payment.
What I managed to get today.

I will bring you the whole
sum tomorrow after noon.

Is that so?

I am ready to wait here.

And then the coppers will show up

and accuse me of kidnapping.

No one is going to look for me here.

Let the ladies go, and me...
I'll stay as your hostage.

Why do you think the ladies are here?
How naive.

They aren't here, they're far away.

The money tomorrow, the ladies tomorrow.

So what do I do here until the morning?

What are you trying to do?

Nothing. I'll just get bored sitting
here for 24 hours and playing solitaire.

No, I won't play cards with you.

-Why not?
-Because you've come up with some scheme.

-What scheme? Just a game.
-No.

You know, after losing that time,
I swore off cards.

I haven't play a game since that time.

You don't say.

I want a rematch,
and you're scared, Pan Grochowski.

No. I am not taking your bait.

-Where are we going?
-Doesn't matter, just away from here.

I don't think we're being followed.

I hope I didn't kill him.

You didn't, you didn't.

He won't catch up with us,
even if he comes to.

No. We're not going to
play with that deck.

I won't insist. Is there any other one?

Strange question. Tomasz!
Bring me my suitcase.

I don't leave home without it.

Here, all the decks. All with
factory wrapping on them. Pick one.

With all due respect, Pan Grochowski,
they're marked with lamp wax.

-Are they?
-Take a look.

Here, a corner is marked.
And here, another one.

Strange. Quite strange. Look at that.

They brought this deck for me from London.
Take another.

This one has white marks.

You can't see it right away,
but you can feel cuts in the edges.

Pierced with a needle.

The gloss is worn in various spots.

And here, you can see right away, paint.
The pictures are too salient.

Yes...
I collected this suitcase all over Europe.

And all the decks are marked.

-All sorts of wonders can happen.
-Who can you trust these days?

Yes, this is a clean deck, I think.
Yes, I think.

You...

You're a master, Investigator.

Just like you, maestro.
What shall we play?

You know, there's this newfangled game.

They call it poker.

-American?
-Yes.

Great choice. Although I've only played
it a couple of times, I liked the game.

Well, let us begin.

-We have to move.
-Do you have any idea where?

-None. Did we come from there?
-We did.

From here... So we have to go there.

-Why?
-Because it's farther from that place.

-I think we have to go that way.
-Why?

Because it's the east,
the sun rises there.

And when they led me here,
the sun was there, in the west.

We have to go east.

That doesn't matter.
We have to find settlements and people.

They can be anywhere. Let's go.

Showdown.

I'm going all in.

All right.

You're extremely lucky today.

It's not luck, it's calculation.

You can't calculate everything.
You did lose to me then.

And then, I was catastrophically unlucky.

-See?
-We were playing a different game then.

The element of luck was big there.

And poker is a mathematical game.
But you chose it yourself.

-Why were we kidnapped?
-I have no clue.

The oafs who took me,
they didn't explain anything to me.

They didn't even answer my questions.

I'll do it.

-Is it because of a card debt?
-Why do you say that?

Strange. Shtolman never gambles. Strange.

-Did a spirit tell you that?
-Yes.

-What else did he tell you?
-Nothing else.

I think Yakov Platonovich has an idea
about why you were kidnapped.

-Does he?
-Yes.

And it may have nothing to do with
a card game in the past.

-What do you know about it?
-I don't know anything.

You don't know or you
don't want to tell me?

Look, if you're walking around here
with me, it doesn't give you the right

to talk to me like that.

Yes, but I have the right
to know why I was kidnapped.

I have nothing to do with card games.

Neither do I.

-I think we're walking in circles.
-Why?

Because the sun is sometimes on our right,
sometimes on our left.

-But it doesn't stay in place.
-It still has to always be on our left.

-That's it. I'm not taking another step.
-Why not?

To hell with it!
I'm staying here until I'm found.

That's stupid.

I don't care.
A mushroom gatherer, a hunter,

someone is going to come by and find me.

That's it. This isn't Siberia.

-You shouldn't panic.
-I'm not panicking.

I'm completely calm.

They're looking for us, right?
Shtolman is looking for us.

Yes. All right. Very well.

We rest here. And then we continue on.

I'm not going anywhere.

Come up!

-Yevgrashin.
-Yes?

-There's a sawmill ahead.
-Yes, sir.

Keep your eyes open. Let's go.

All of it.

Let us continue.

I will write you a receipt. Tomasz.

-You believe me, don't you?
-Of course. You believed me then.

-I did. And you tricked me.
-You accuse me of dishonesty

and then ask me to believe
in your own honesty?

-Let me have a rematch.
-Of course.

But I don't want you to think me a cheat.

The debt was paid to your man.
Someone killed him.

We can't determine who it was.

All right.
Let us suppose you weren't involved.

But you lead the investigation.
Couldn't you see it wasn't an accident?

Andrzej was killed
after getting the money.

It was a robbery.

It appears he wasn't careful
and someone saw he had the money.

You don't believe that.
Your royal lady made it happen.

What was that money?

The money Shtolman lost.
What happened after that?

Tell me, what happened after that?

He had an assistant during the handover.
A Frenchman.

He was seen at the inn where
Andrzej's body was discovered.

Were you talking to somebody?

I was trying to call a spirit
who would lead us out of here.

-And?
-No one came.

Are you rested? We have to go.

If we don't find somewhere
to stay until the night,

we'll have to sleep here.

-Shall we continue?
-Please.

Don't move without my order. Map.

This hut wasn't market on the map.

Move up in chain. Surround it.

Go.

-This bonfire is fresh.
-Yes, sir.

Move.

It doesn't look like someone lives here.

-What?
-Doesn't look like someone lives here.

But someone spent the night here.

I don't think it was our people.

-Where are we going?
-I don't know.

This is pointless.

We have to do something!
We can't just stay in place.

That's exactly what I offered.
It was more fun there, at least.

And you lead us into the thick of it.

See? A fog is coming up.
We're not going to see anything soon.

Let's go.

What is that smell?

It's not fog. It's smoke. Acidic.

Let's go! What are you waiting for?
Let's go, quickly!

Damn it! Damn it!

Lock him up!

-Pan Grochowski.
-What?

I have a proposition. Do you hear me?

Let's talk.

-I played fair with your cards. True?
-Suppose it is. So what?

I won a sum higher than what I owe.
I propose a trade.

You forgive me my debt,
let the prisoners go,

and I forgive you your debt.
If the prisoners are alive and well,

I will even let you get out of town
and won't pursue you.

We are in a stalemate.
Your honest win against my honest win.

Escaped! They have escaped!

-What?
-This morning. They hit me over the head.

Where were you keeping them? Where?

Nina. Nina!

Nina. Nina, get up.

Nina. Nina.

Get up. Let's go.

-Where?
-There's our hut.

We've been walking around in circles.

But there's...

I don't think there's anyone there.

There's that house.

-How are you?
-Still alive.

-I settled it with Grochowski.
-I settled it a year ago.

But he didn't think so.

Who are you going to believe? Me or him?
Is that your answer after I almost died?

I'm the one who found you here.

But it wasn't me you ran up to.

Listen...

-The heel?
-It's all right. Don't worry.

We're going to reach the stagecoach soon,
and...

I'll make it, I'll make it.
Help Nina Arkadievna.

How could the kidnappers
disappear from the town?

What mattered was finding
Nezhinskaya and Mironova.

While we were looking, they got away.

It makes sense. Very well, then.

They aren't coming back here.
Is the case closed?

Yes, sir.

There's one thing I don't understand.
What was the whole ruckus about?

Can I have a word?

It was all about the knyaz's
old card debt.

Is that so?

The Poles had seen Nezhinskaya
and Mironova around the knyaz,

kidnapped them and blackmailed him.

What a twist.

Now it's all settled, thank God.

It would be wise not
to advertise this case.

The knyaz definitely wouldn't like that.

Don't worry, I guarantee you secrecy.

Well, gentlemen,
thank you for your service.

-My honor.
-My honor.

And still,
how did you manage to find that place?

I won at cards.
Just don't put that in the report.

I understand.
And that strange fog, what was it?

Natural gas.
By the way, show me that place on the map.

Of course. Right here.

As I understand,
there is a military polygon nearby.

That's right. There is a military
polygon just one verst from that spot.

Try to remember, what fog smell like?

Flowers. Jasmin or rezeda.

Did you smell right away?
What happen next?

I had vertigo, nausea, my throat got sore.

And then I passed out.

-Did you hallucinate?
-No.

It was just like someone put
out the lights, and that's it.

-How long were you out?
-How should I know?

Well, about two hours, maybe three.

I am sorry for harass you.
But I study that fog.

It is some unknown phenomenon.

Really, here in Zatonsk?

I thank fate for be here at right time,
right place.

Wait. And that cough? Is it dangerous?

Judging from way you looks,
you are health.

But you should go to doctor for sure.

If you permit,

I like to get result
of his examinationing.

Your medical information during sickness.

Of course. I'll talk to a doctor.
All right.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

I'm sure Shtolman isn't interested
in anybody digging into this story.

-Nina, how are you feeling?
-Better.

You are very kind to ask me about it.

By the way,
Mr Brown is very interested in my health.

Apparently he's studying that fog.

But I still think it's
some kind of swamp gas.

And Mr Brown is in love with that fog.

I think he's actually in love with you,
dear Nina.

Thank you for the secret date.

I'm sorry it had to be secret.
It's just that my father, he...

He told me no right at the house.

Yes. But this misunderstanding
will end soon, I am sure.

Your father is right.

You should stay away from me.
And me, from you.

Let us talk about something else.

-Let's.
-Talk.

How are you feeling, Anna Viktorovna?
What are the doctors saying?

The doctors are saying
my airways are inflamed.

But it'll be over soon.
It almost is already.

-I wish you a speedy recovery.
-Thank you.

That fog, did it have any smell?

Yes. It's so... choky.
But.. not like smoke. Sweet.

Will you reveal the secret
of our kidnapping to me?

There is no secret.
It's a misunderstanding.

At one time,
the knyaz and Nezhinskaya helped me.

-And you helped them.
-What do you mean?

I mean, you lead the investigation into
the murder of that courier, didn't you?

-Yes, I lead it.
-And you didn't find the killer.

-I didn't.
-You didn't.

Wait. You don't think I can be bought?

No, I just...

Get well, Anna Viktorovna.

Yakov Platonovich.

Yakov Platonovich!
