ANNA, THE DETECTIVE

PRINCE OF DARK
EPISODE 4

Who the hell is that now?

Open up.

Stop coming here already.

Don't tell me what to do.

What the hell?
Somebody's trying to get in again.

Well, what is it?

I think it's quiet.

What did those snoops find?

-The book.
-What book?

I saw the girl take the book
outside and give it to that medium.

Where does she live?

A big house on Tsaritsyn St. Why?

Don't come here anymore!

I have no time for your weirdness anymore.

Oh, you've come. Thank God, thank God.

Uncle, you always have my back.

And still, you're pretty late.

Don't be a bore, too.

I wasn't asking where you were, was I?
But still, it's night outside.

I only went to the police station.
To see Mr Shtolman. He works so late.

Since when does Mr Shtolman take
up so much space in your life?

We just have business together.

And you were telling me today that
he had a duel because of a dame.

Who is that dame? Tell me.

All right, I'll tell you, all right.
But no details and no names.

What I know is this.

A certain person, let's call her N...

A maid of honor to the empress herself,
by the way...

Wins the favor of a certain knyaz,
let's call him R.

And he completely loses his head over her.

That way, lady N gets an enviable position
in the social life of the capital.

And then she comes across Mr Shtolman,
an ill omen.

And she falls in love.

Madly, they say. Which is completely
uncharacteristic for this person,

who is cold and calculating.

The knyaz gets jealous,
and we have a duel.

Well, you know.

Did you know that Lady N?

I didn't, I didn't. I didn't know her,
but we did meet a couple of times

in the parlors.

What is she like? Beautiful?

Well, she certainly is attractive.

Attr... A dangerous woman.

But Shtolman too,
Shtolman is not a simple man.

Your parents will damn me if they
find out I talked to you about this.

There's someone here.

Stop there. Stop.

That somebody, he asked Anna Viktorovna's
address, and I considered it my duty

to make sure that you're...
you're all right.

Calm down, Anton Andreievich.
We're all very grateful to you.

I did not want to wake anybody. You...

I'm sorry, I...

No one is accusing you of anything.

However, Anton Andreievich,
please be so kind as to explain

who is spying on my daughter.

My God!

Dad, it's all right. Really.

It's just that you and I were at the
questioning in the abandoned house today,

and someone could have seen me there.

And Anton Andreievich
is just being diligent.

That's right. God, I'm sorry.
If you'll excuse me, I'll...

Yes, my good man, be on your way.
God be with you.

I'll see you out.

Olimpiada, did the man in black
from the cemetery kill you?

Was it Prokhorov?

You're not sure.

Was it Molchalin?

Was it both?

Olimpiada, where are you?

I'm telling you, three silver rubles.
And even that's out of respect for...

For your awful situation.

It's a family treasure,
take a better look.

What do you mean, three rubles?

What's there to look at?
There's nothing to look at.

So just take it and... and go.

Yakov Platonovich, how can I help you?
Have you come to pawn something?

Or are you browsing?

No, I was walking past and got curious.

Well, being curious is your job.

What were you fighting about with
Prokhorov at Kuriokhin's house yesterday?

Spare me, fighting?
You were there with us.

Stop it, I saw with my own eyes how you

charged at each other with
your fists up after that.

That had to do with business. It happens.

You're hiding something from me,
Mr Molchalin.

I don't understand.

Your friend Kuriokhin hangs himself,
his daughter is killed in the same house.

Something tells me it wasn't the
last of these tragedies, either.

Mysterious are God's ways.

Snap out of it! What happened to you?

Three friends, three companions,
together all your lives.

And now one's hanged himself and the other
two are ready to strangle each other.

Are you really going to throw
Katia Prokhorova in jail?

Come, now, why just Katia?

Sonia Molchalina is under investigation,
as well.

You do understand that, Zakhar Petrovich?

God, save and protect.
Protect that innocent soul.

You should be talking to me, not to God.

Don't blaspheme!

I meant that I'm the only
one who can help you.

Do you really think I'm some
villain who stabs innocent children?

What else could we think?

If it wasn't you, it was your friend,
the one who visits you.

Because someone did visit last night,
didn't he?

So it was you snooping
around there last night!

Anton Andreievich is
a government official.

Watch your tone with him.

Tell me who came to see you last night.

Just... someone who came to
have some vodka together.

You don't know who you drink vodka with?

I don't. The whole town was talking
about that murder, so we talked about it.

Yakov Platonovich, here.
Found it under the floorboards.

Look at that sum.
Did you get your inheritance?

What is he paying you for?
Did you kill the young lady?

I didn't kill her! I didn't!

Did you kill her, you monster?

I didn't kill her! I didn't, swear to God!

-Who killed her? Talk.
-I don't know. Couldn't see.

And your friend, what did he pay you for?

When Kuriokhin hanged himself and
the widow moved away, he showed up.

He said it was to grab the junk.
Who needs it? Junk!

And he promised big money.

You could buy a cartful of junk with that!

What does he really pay you for?

He came in secret.

And a young lady came with him?

And a young lady. She missed her father.
Went to the abandoned house.

You damn pimp!
You're going to rot in prison!

No! No! No! There was nothing of the sort!

Why would I need that?

I watched them. They talked.

All mysterious, like,
about demons and such.

-Ba... Ba...
-Baphomet?

Exactly. And I thought, if they're
just talking, there's no sin in that.

And then her girlfriends started coming.
Playing all kinds of games.

Then it happened. Murder!

And that friend of yours,
was he there on the night of the murder?

I don't know. I was asleep. Drunk.

Where does he live?

I don't know. He panhandles around.
At the mercy of God.

Panhandles around? At the mercy of God,
with that kind of money?

Where does he live?

I don't... I don't know!
Swear to God, I don't!

Yakov Platonovich,
let him go before you strangle him.

That house is bad.
Many people have come here.

That hangman's friend,
Molchalin the merchant has, too.

-Molchalin?
-That's the one.

He was here yesterday, too.
While they were investigating.

He...
was looking for something in the house.

What do I do with you?

Your High Nobleness! I'm not guilty,
Your High Nobleness! I'm not!

All right! Stay here.

And when your friend comes,
alert the police.

Alert them quietly.
Or you're going to jail for murder.

Let the patrolmen go. And you, stay here,
watch the house and the street sweeper.

-Don't let him out of your sight.
-Got it.

If the man in black comes, follow him.

-And you?
-I'm going to see Molchalin.

To the station.

Yakov Platonovich! Yakov Platonovich!

Anna Viktorovna.

Wait, wait. I really need your help.

I think we should check
Kuriokhin's death out.

Whether he really took his own life, or...

Was killed? First the father,
then the daughter... but why?

Those two deaths,
I think they're closely connected.

I can see that in my visions. Yes.

And I also see a tall man
in black next to the girl.

He has to do with the cemetery somehow.

-Cemeteries, visions and...
-And graves. Yes, also a man in a grave.

That's where we will all end up.

Don't worry, Anna Viktorovna.
I will note your conclusions.

Excuse me, I have to go.

Always glad to see you.

-He's not seeing anyone.
-Police. Unlock the door.

Police?

Your people have all left.

Our people? What happened?

They... took the boss out of the noose.

What do you mean, the noose?

It just happened. He came to the pawn shop
and hanged himself.

In the storeroom.

-Where is the body?
-Your people took him.

He kept... God forgive me...
seeing ghosts.

-So what happened to him?
-Who knows? He was very gloomy lately.

Thought he had visions.
He was scared to death of ghosts.

This is goddamned nonsense.

Annette, I'm sorry,
I took your contrapment without asking.

Oh, you're welcome to.
Just don't break your neck.

So hard. So very hard.

That's just in the beginning.
Look, I wanted to ask you...

What if the girls, they... they really
did summon a spirit. You understand?

And now it chases them.

That's possible, of course.
But improbable.

So what do we do? How do we exorcise it?

You go to church and light a candle.

-You do what?
-Yes.

I thought you'd tell me...
some magic ritual.

You could have a ritual.
But definitely church.

Church. Definitely.

-Let's go.
-Where?

You'll give me a ride.

-Me?
-Yes.

-Well, hold on. Are you ready?
-Yes!

Great, then.

Wait for me, please.

-Looking for somebody, young lady?
-Yes. I'm looking for a man...

He comes here often.

A lot of people come here often, my dear.

He's, you know, tall and very thin.

That could be Filka.
They call him Eagle Owl around here.

-Why do you need him?
-I want to help him.

That's good. He's at God's mercy.

There he is. There.

Thank you.

God help you.

Same to you, young lady.

Would you tell me, my good man, if you've
seen a man wearing a black coat around?

And a gymnasium girl with him.
About thirteen.

Maybe I have.

Did you see which grave they went to?

Maybe I did.

My little sister keeps
going to the cemetery.

I can't get her to tell
me what she wants here.

So I'm trying to find out
which grave she visits.

-So you're worried about your sister?
-I am. So, did you see?

That's a good cause,
protecting your sister.

I'd make it up to you.

I remember.
I could show you where they went.

And if you spare something for
the poor man, I won't say no.

I'll spare something. Of course I will.

Let's go.

Have you lived here long? At the cemetery.

Yes. Since when I was young.

You know, this is a nice place.
Quiet, calm.

Have you ever wanted to leave here?

What for? In the end,
they'll carry me back here anyway.

Let's go.

What can you tell me about his death?

Venit mors velociter, rapit nos atrociter.

Translated from Latin, it means "death
comes to us quickly, snatches us cruelly."

Can you be more precise?

More precisely, he hanged himself
on a clothesline. That's all.

-Are you sure he hanged himself?
-Absolutely.

There are no signs of struggle.

Well, here we are.
This is where your sister comes.

Who's buried here?

A great man. Great.

His name was Parfen.

Where are you going, young lady?
Don't you want to find out more?

Help! Help! Help!

Give them the parcel. Why do you want it?

-I don't have it.
-Well, who does?

Why do you think I have it?

I didn't take it. Who did, then?

I don't know. Neither I nor you have it.

Sonia, give it to him.
Give him the amulet.

I don't know where it is. I don't have it.

Who has it, then? There's only two of us.
If I don't have it, you do.

I didn't take the amulet.
I don't know where it is.

Your father is dead.
Lipka's father is dead, too.

And she's dead, as well.

I don't want something
to happen to my dad.

You don't want to die yourself!

I'm asking you, begging you.
Where is the damned amulet?

Under the stairs. Where the book was.

What did you do, Sonia? What did you do?

Why did you take it?

When the candles went out... I hid it.

And the next day,
I put it under the stairs.

I wanted luck to always follow my dad.

We need to give back the amulet.

Tonight.
He'll come for him when it gets dark.

That's what he told Dad. I heard it.

Don't be so careless, young lady.

Who are you?

I'm Eagle Owl.

What do I have to do with it?

Females have gotten too sharp.

Some are summoning the Devil,
you'd think they can't live without him.

Others looking for graves,
looking to steal my treasure.

What treasure?

-Like you don't know.
-No.

Why did they send you, then?

No one sent me anywhere.

Yakkity yakkity yak.

The amulet. That's the treasure.
It has power.

The one who has that amulet
becomes rich right away.

And that amulet...
Kuriokhin stole it from you?

Yes. Kuriokhin. And also...

two friends of his.

Molchalin and Prokhorov.

They put the amulet into Parfen's
grave by mistake. My teacher's grave.

So they put it in there and buried it.
And those three dug it out.

They were grave diggers at the
cemetery back then, all three.

They'd bury the dead in the day,
and dig them back out in the night,

and take all their gold.

All the necklaces, rings, even gold teeth.

You didn't know that about them.

And they say you're clairvoyante.

Are they lying?
Don't you see anything? Do you see me?

We met.

Yes. I recognized you. But too late.

Well, yes. Too late.

Look,
maybe you'll tell me about the amulet.

What's it like, the amulet?

An arrowhead.

Yes. Did you... did you find it?

No. I saw it.
When I touched the grave of your sorcerer.

Look, can you see where it is now?

I can. But I can't do it here.
I need to be in that house.

You're being clever.
Trying to buy your life back.

No, I'll do it without you.

They'll bring me the amulet back tonight.

Is this all because of
that piece of metal?

When Olimpiada's dad took his own life,
she missed him a lot, started coming here.

To the house.
That's where he met her, that black devil.

He started teaching
her all kinds of magic.

So she could talk to her father.

And Lipka got us into it, too.

One time he told her
to bring him an arrowhead.

Said he needed it for the ritual.

And before that, I overheard my
dad's conversation with Katia's dad.

They were talking about how
their amulet had gone missing.

How luck wouldn't follow them anymore.

Well, that was the arrowhead that
Lipka stole. When her father had it.

Parfen, my teacher,

he died so suddenly.

I wasn't in town then.

They buried him in the day.

I came back in the night.
Went to the cemetery right away.

And they... they'd dug the grave open.
I hid behind a tree and watched.

And then I saw them take out the amulet.

And then their affairs went on the mend.

They left the city, disappeared.

Then some time passed, I found them.

First, I ask Kuriokhin,
"Where's the amulet?"

And he says, "I don't have the amulet.
It's gone."

He wasn't lying.
His daughter took the amulet. Olimpiada.

Well, yes. But I didn't know that then.

I... Well, I asked him and asked him...

Pressured him,
just a little bit, and he...

he hanged himself.

So he promised he would come
here for that amulet tonight?

Yes, that's what he told Dad this morning.

Then he saw me in the courtyard.

And he told me he would be waiting here
for me, Katia and the amulet tonight.

So we'll wait for him, too.

-Do you know what I'm thinking right now?
-I can't read minds.

But you can feel it?

Don't kill me.

That's right. That's right.

The question of your life and death.

Wait. I can save your soul.

What? Save my soul?

Well, if you really are like people say,
you probably can do that.

But I'm leaving now.
And you're staying here.

And screaming is pointless.

And if they don't bring me my amulet,

you'll find it for me.

All right, you hide down below,
and don't make a sound without my order.

Freeze! Don't move!

The house is surrounded.
We have what you want.

Show me.

No. Hands up! Up!

You've done terrible things, and you're
going to answer for them in court.

Men!

Yakov Platonovich!
Yakov Platonovich, Anna...

-Anna is missing.
-What do you mean, missing?

She hasn't been home all day,
and the neighbors saw her get in a cab.

I'm afraid she might have gone
looking for that man in black.

I saw her this morning and...
she said something about a cemetery.

Anna! Anna!

Dad! Dad, I'm here!

I'm here!

God, my girl! My girl!

What is this? Help!

Quiet! It's OK!

There it is, our precious. Right?

Mr Prokhorov,
I suggest you tell us everything yourself.

From start to finish.

Start with how you worked at the cemetery.

Are you going to defend me?

Money doesn't decide everything,
Ignatiy Demyanovich.

Everything depends on what you say.

Well, I might as well tell it.
If it wasn't for Katia...

I'd take this secret with me to the grave.

It was 17 years ago.
We were living off robbery.

We dug graves open and we had a good life.

There were three of us.
Me, Kuriokhin and Molchalin.

-Go on.
-Going on.

Once we dug up a grave

and saw that the dead man wasn't
buried like everyone else,

he was face down.

My granny told me they
buried witchers like that.

I mean, when they buried them at all.

A man in black saw us at that grave.
A longcoat or a robe.

We got proper scared at that,
to be honest.

What did he say to scare you like that?

He asked, why we disturbed that grave.
The fool.

And we're no better, got scared by some
beggar, ran all the way to Siberia.

So what did you do to him?

Threw him into the grave.
And we found that arrowhead in there, too.

So what,
what happened to that man in black?

We forgot all about him.

We hoped he'd fallen
to his death in that grave.

Did you really think you would
get rich with that amulet?

That's what we thought,
that it was a useless trinket.

But as soon as we found it,
everything changed.

Money came to us.

-And that's when I realized it.
-Realized what?

That the power was in that arrowhead.

We kept it on our persons since then.
We took turns.

One of us had it for a month,
then another one.

And we did our business. First in Siberia,
then we came back to Zatonsk.

Got families. Built houses.
Our lives were good.

What put an end to that idyll?

Stupidity. My own stupidity.

A man in black came to see me.
The same one.

Said that he went to prison,
looked for us for a long time.

Asked me to give him back the
thing that doesn't belong to me.

Otherwise he'd kill me
and my entire family.

-And you believed him?
-No. Kuriokhin did.

So why didn't you come here,
to the police, or offer him money?

He wasn't interested in money.
He wanted the amulet.

And as luck would have it,
it went missing.

Because Olimpiada took it.

And we blamed each other, fought over it.

We were afraid that without it,
luck would turn away from us.

So what next? What happened next?

That madman stalked us,
wouldn't leave us alone.

Well, Kuriokhin couldn't handle it
and hanged himself a month later.

And you? What did you do?

Me? I was actually glad.

Did you think
that Eagle Owl found that amulet?

And it would all end with
Kuriokhin's death, right?

But it didn't end. Kuriokhin's
daughter Olimpiada was the next victim.

She took her father's death very badly
and came to that abandoned house often.

Naturally, Eagle Owl noticed her,
and fit her into his plan.

He convinced her that arrowhead
was needed for the magic.

He hoped to get it out of her that way.

Yes. Prince of Dark was hiding
in the pantry and jumped out

when the girls were summoning
spirits and knocked the candle over.

He wanted to cut the amulet
off Olimpiada's neck.

He thought she always
carried it on her person.

And he accidentally killed her.

Well, there we have it, Mr Prokhorov.

You're under arrest.

There are no statutes
of limitation on such crimes.

Well, how's the catch.

None... so far.

I was right. About everything.

And Shtolman is acting
as if nothing's happened.

What happened, then?

I found the killer.

But Shtolman is pretending like
there's nothing surprising about it.

And as if he can't see my abilities.

There's nothing strange about that.

People are likely to explain strange
things the way they understand,

the way they're used to.

Mr Shtolman is no exception.

He probably explained your guesses
to himself as simple coincidences.

Hold this.

Yes, but that's not fair.

Do you care what Mr Shtolman thinks?

No, it's not that
I cared about what he thinks.

It's just strange to me that a...
an adult, intelligent man...

would turn a blind eye
to something obvious.

Get used to it.

That's how it's going
to be most of the time.

-And still, tea, maybe?
-No, no. Thank you.

Have you come here to stay long?

Hard to say.

I mean Zatonsk.

I don't guess at the future.

May I ask, are you married?

No. And... and I never was.

Why not? There was no decent partner?

More like they don't find me suitable.

They should.

Well, here she is.

Let's go to the garden?

Thank you for the tea.

Would you want to have that amulet,
Anna Viktorovna?

Oh please.

It's a magical item, after all.

No. We should take it back
to the cemetery instead.

I don't think that's likely. The police
don't do magic, and it's evidence.

Well, let's destroy it then.

Are you afraid that I'll
take it myself for good luck?

No. I'm not worried about you.

But who knows what kind of
man could end up having it.

You're still thinking about magic?

That's just a figment of our suspects'
imaginations.

By the way, I've visited Eagle Owl.

After months of searching for that amulet,
he went completely insane and...

he's probably going to an asylum.

Strange, but for some reason
I don't feel sorry for him at all.

Still, how do you do it?

Do what?

Everything happened exactly
the way you thought from the start.

They just talk to me.

You intrigue me.

Come, now. I always tell the truth to you.

But you won't tell me
anything new about yourself.

I just don't want to lie to you.
And I have to right to tell you the truth.

So I won't find out anything
new about you again?

I'm flattered by your attention.

Now they'll definitely
think me your suitor.

-Are you afraid?
-I'm cautious.

You really don't look like the kind of man
who's afraid of rumors.

By the way,
they think you a womanizer already anyway.

Why is that?

You know, your fame precedes you.

Are you talking about that duel?

Don't believe it.
It was completely different.

That doesn't matter. What matters
is that you left that woman behind.

You did leave her?

I would rather not talk about it.

Why can't you answer my question again?
Did you leave her?

Yes, she stayed in St Petersburg.
Thank you for the walk.

PRINCE OF DARK
