Hey. I picked
a house here.

The lock will be easy.
Maybe I'll find something.

Hello.

Hello.

Egor, we had an appointment!

But it's you
who came an hour early.

The earlier we start,
the sooner we'll rent it out.

Alright. A spacious flat.
That's good.

Not very clean.

I'd like to know
if there are more unpleasant surprises.

Not really. An ordinary flat.
Nothing special.

That's what everyone says,
and then you have dogs barking at 5 a.m.

A new TV set would be better.

I don't watch TV at all, so...

- No microwave either, right?
- Yeah. I have no idea how I'm surviving.

Look.

That's a kitchen
I saw yesterday.

I just love it.

I'm sure you do.

How long
do I have to find tenants for you?

I'm moving to Moscow in a week,
so it's urgent.

Are you the only owner?
Where are your parents?

No parents.
My Mom died a few years ago.

- I'm sorry.
- It's alright.

- Well, it's a very nice flat.
- Thank you.

This is my father's office.
I still need to pack it up.

A week should be enough.

I'll prepare the documents
and will start showing your flat.

Thank you.

I envy you. You're moving to Moscow.
Our weather is terrible.

- Are you crazy?
- I've told you not to smoke in the car.

Who's going to buy
new seat covers?

Today, the 2nd suicide that resembles
a series of mysterious deaths

5 years ago was committed
in the central district.

According to our sources,
all of the victims

had similar hallucinations
before they died.

At present, the police
are not ready to make any comments.

We will follow the events
and keep you posted.

Do you think it has begun again?

I was too late.

I see.

Did you learn anything
from the police?

No. These jerks
aren't saying anything.

I will ask the neighbors.

Alright.

Yes. We saw each other
yesterday.

Did you notice
anything strange about her?

Sorry.

Can I talk to you?

Go away.

Your neighbor killed herself,
didn't she?

I don't know.

She told me
someone was stalking her.

But no one believed her, right?

You saw the Man in white?

The police
still refuse to comment.

Over the past week,
3 shocking suicides

have been committed
in the center of Saint Petersburg.

If you have suicidal thoughts,

immediately contact the counseling service
you see on the screen.

Goodbye and be safe.
This was Sophia Toker, channel 4.

Hey, can you help me out?
Marina's parents won't be home today.

I won't have a chance like that again,
you know.

Comfort and exquisite style.
You will feel like a true la...

What, you like women's pantyhose?

- You were saying?
- Can you take my night shift?

- Of course, no problem.
- Thanks man.

Yes honey, I remember.

But today you will have to pick up Vanya
from school yourself.

They won't let me leave earlier.

Yes, I think today
I'll stay the night.

I can't do anything about it.

You don't want me
to lose my bonus, do you?

Oh, look.
You dropped your condoms.

Honey, I'm at work.

We have a special deal on Champaign today.
Would you like to take 2?

I will explain.
Don't shout. Hello?

It's 50 roubles.

- Are you Egor?
- Have we met?

No. But my parents knew your father.
While they were alive.

SUICIDES
STRANGE DEATHS IN THE CITY

I'm sorry, I have to work.

You know what your father was doing
before he disappeared, right?

How did you find me?

My parents had the address.

Your neighbors told me
where you work.

What do you know
about his investigation?

Sorry, I can't help you.

It's happening again,
don't you see?

No, I don't.

Didn't he tell you anything?

Karina!

SAINT PETERBURG NEWS

SUICIDES
STRANGE DEATHS IN THE CITY

Anton! Take my place!

BORIS AKEEV
CHIEF INVESTIGATOR

Are you writing?
It's important. Ok, listen.

Let him take this piece of paper
with his evidence,

fold it nicely,
and use it instead of toilet paper.

Hi, uncle Boris.

Egor, what brings you here?

Nothing really.

You want some coffee?

Yeah.

You want me to come visit?
I'll drop by some day.

I'm transferring
to study in Moscow.

That's good.
A new city…

You're too smart
to work in a shop.

Take a seat.

Why so serious?

We've never talked about it.

About what?

About what's happening
again now.

I'm too tired
after the night shift.

Look.

You started investigating
these cases together. I remember.

- These cases aren't similar.
- You never wanted to talk about this.

It's different.

Uncle Boris,
I think you're hiding something.

Egor, sit.

What do you want from me?

- I want you to tell me the truth.
- What truth?

He left my mother and me for this case,
and disappeared.

Then my Mom got sick and died.
I have to know the reason why he did it.

- The real reason.
- You're hurt, it's natural.

Yes, I thought
he was using his addiction to work

as an excuse
not to be home with us.

- Now I doubt it.
- I don't know any other reason.

I walked out of this case
when it began,

so I have no idea
what your father was thinking.

Why did you walk out of the case?
Did something scare you?

Egor, calm down. Go to Moscow.

Stay out of it.

Thanks, uncle Boris.

Here, friend.

Thanks, Egor.

24 HOUR SHOP

- Please, help me.
- What happened?

He wants to kill me.

You mean the guys you were with today?
Is this some kind of joke?

No. They wanted to help me,
but they can't.

They won't be able to.

Please.
I have nowhere else to go.

- There's no one there.
- There is. He can be anywhere.

Let me call the police.

No, they won't help me.

- I see him all day, he's everywhere!
- Look, I really don't understand...

Bogdan and Karina said
you might know something.

Your father investigated
similar cases in the past.

I don't know what they told you,
I have no clue.

Yes. They found me last night,
but I left them.

- They won't help me.
- Let's call the police, okay?

- He's here.
- Who are you talking about?

The Man in white.

Stand here.
It's probably the fuse. Let me check.

- Egor.
- Wait for just one minute.

Don't leave me.

Just a moment.

- Egor!
- Moment.

Stand here. Don't leave.
I'll check the fuse. It's alright.

Egor.

Moment.

Drink. You need to throw up.
Come on.

Drink more. Good.
More. Very well.

Yes. Hello. A girl here is sick.
Took some poison. Bleeding from the mouth!

Malokrestovsky Lane, 6.

Thanks. I'm waiting.

Come. Drink more.

CONVENIENCE STORE

Bogdan? Yes, I'm here.

Find Vika
and pretend you're her brother.

Let me know at once when she comes to.
Okay? See you.

Just a moment.

Damn.

Coming!

What, have you been sleeping?

- What are you doing?
- I need to talk to you.

I don't want to talk to you.

- Do you know what happened last night?
- I know.

- Get dressed.
- Leave.

If you touch me again,

the towel will drop.

You're crazy.

Don't touch anything there!

It's alright. You're safe.

I'm here.

- What, are you running from your past?
- What?

Moving?

It's none of your business.

I did the same a couple years ago.
It doesn't help.

Haven't you heard of waste sorting?

What do you want?

I need all of the materials
on the suicides your father investigated.

I want to stay out of it.

What, did you get scared yesterday?

No smoking here.

Kudos for saving Vika.
But it's not going to last.

What do you mean?

You know what I mean.

No, I have no idea!

What's happening to Vika?
She tried to commit suicide, right?

- She acted crazy.
- Did she mention the Man in white?

- Yes. But it's insane.
- No. It's not insane.

That's how we found her.

Vitaly Ryabov.
Burned alive.

He set himself on fire.

A day later,
his friend Nikolay Krasilnikov,

walked out of his window
at home.

A day later Tamara Grigorieva,
a post-office employee, slit her wrists.

Vika is her neighbor
at the communal flat.

And what? They could have been
ordinary suicides.

They all said
they've seen the Man in white.

This is exactly
what your father investigated.

Where did you get this?

My parents.

He tried to help them,
but he couldn't.

I've always thought
he was crazy.

Do you still think so?

Vika came to herself.

I want to help her.

HE SHOWED ME HOW
HE WILL KILL ME

He showed me
how he will kill me.

Why didn't you tell us
she's woken up?

You're very lucky, honey.
You have only a slight esophageal injury.

The patients here
are ready to do anything to recover,

and you decided
to take your own life!

What? What happened?

Shshsh. It's alright.
Stay calm.

You can't get up.
Stay calm.

A doctor will come in 5 minutes
and will give you a sedative.

Okay?

- Oh, okay.
- She saw him again.

- Where are you taking her?
- The car's in the parking lot.

- What are you doing?
- Quiet.

- Quiet!
- There. Okay.

- Karina!
- What?

Damn.

Vika knows how he will kill her.

He's shown her.
He'll poison her.

Why did we take her away from the hospital?
It's better for her there.

- Nowhere is better for her now.
- She decided to leave.

She would at least be
under medical supervision there.

Look, they can't help her anymore.

- Where are we taking her?
- Anywhere.

- What's happening?
- We're out of gas.

No way.
I just got gas.

Damn it.

There's a gas station
2 blocks from here.

Let's go.

Just keep an eye on her.

It will be alright.

Vika, look.

Vika, open the door!

Open the door please!

Vika, no, no!

Open the door!

Vika! No!

I saw him.

Wait.

- Uncle Boris. I am...
- Shut up.

I wanted to...

What did you get yourself into, you idiot?
I asked you to stay out of it.

- We wanted to help that girl.
- And what did you achieve?

You're lucky
you were still in my district.

Or I wouldn't have been able
to cover for you.

- We would have managed.
- Bogdan!

What are you doing with these people?
He's getting arrested for fighting. She...

Is this important right now?

Now you go home
and get this out of your head. Understand?

- No.
- What "no"?

Do you really think I will give it up?
Now that I know my father wasn't insane?

Yes, now you know.
So what? Isn't this enough?

You lied to me all this time.
You knew it, and you still lied to me.

I wasn't supposed to tell you anything.
He asked me not to.

He wanted to keep you out of it.
To protect you.

But the plan failed
the moment he disappeared.

Do you want to follow him?
To be as stupid as he was?

At least he didn't chicken out
and didn't betray his partner.

And what then?
What's the use of his heroism?

What are you all after?
Are you trying to die?

Do you think
this is what your parents wanted?

What I'm afraid of
is that after I die

my own children will run around

saying they've been mistreated,
inviting trouble.

Help us.

My brother has seen him.

We want to know
what all of this means.

I will give you the materials
left by Mikhail.

I have never looked at them,
I've never even touched them.

Hope this helps.

Yes. I understand
that you have it settled,

but I've decided
not to move to Moscow for now.

- Thank you. Yes. Goodbye.
- Call me when you decide.

Your father made a list of the victims
with the dates of their deaths.

Kirill Babich was the first.
October 12, 2015.

Treated
at 3rd psychiatric hospital.

Persistent hallucinations
of the Man in white.

Vladislav Kornienko, October 14.

Was treated
at the same hospital.

Eugenia Koliaginova was the 3rd.
October 16.

Was treated at the same clinic.

HALLUCINATIONS, SHE SAW THE MAN IN WHITE
AND DROWN HERSELF.

All three saw the Man in white
before they died.

This is where it must have started.

They died
a day apart from each other.

It seems to be a system
of some sort.

The next victim was Marina Andreeva.
October 17.

Her body was found a week later.
By Semyon Nikonov.

Next victim: Semyon Nikonov.
October 25.

Gas intoxication.
In his own car.

Olesya Nikonova, October 26.

It's his daughter.

Drowned in the Griboyedov canal.
Her body was discovered by…

- Daniel Terekhov.
- Daniel Terekhov.

7th victim. October 29.

He was our parents' student
when they taught

at the college
in Vasilievsky Ostrov.

Mom and Dad were the last ones.

It's like a curse that passes
from one person to another.

Antonina Nikonova,
wife of the deceased Semyon Nikonov

and mother
of the deceased Olesya Nikonova.

Your husband died
from gas poisoning.

- Your daughter has drowned.
- It's my father's voice.

Tell me what was happening
to your husband before he died.

He said he saw something.

A person dressed in white
sitting on a chair, choking.

Did you see that person in white?

No.

What did your daughter see
before she died?

Olesya was a good swimmer.

She couldn't have drowned.

What happened to Daniel
before he died?

I don't know how to describe it.

He hallucinated.

As if the Man in white clothes
was stalking him everywhere.

Daniel broke his own neck
when he was at the college, right?

Was there anything similar
in Daniel's hallucinations?

Yes. The Man in white twisted his own neck.
This is what Daniel said.

Have you seen this creature?

No.

I must record this.

- Go ahead.
- Wait. I want to watch.

We both know he didn't drive
to the other side of the road himself.

He was forced to.

I know.

I know now.

Did you see him die?

Yes.

I think if I had believed Denis,

we could have probably saved him.

Can you see
the Man in white now?

I see him
with a rope around his neck.

I will help you.
I promise.

Look.

Bogdan and Karina will think
that we have abandoned them.

Will you tell them the truth?

Promise that you will.

This is strange.
The name of Victor Isaev isn't listed here.

Victor Isaev was admitted

to 3rd psychiatric clinic
of his own accord.

You have been diagnosed
with one of the forms of Capgras syndrome.

- Is that so?
- But we both know that you don't have it.

For others it's like a disease.

He gets inside you like a virus,
eats at your brain

and drives you
to the extremes of insanity.

Do you know a lot about him?
Tell me.

You can't hide from him.

He will find you, no matter where you are,
and kill you.

But first,
he will show you how he will do it.

Have you seen him yourself?

I have always felt his presence.

But in the past few years,
I started experiencing the desire to kill.

It was not my desire.

It was as if I was filled
with someone else's thoughts.

Here he tormented me.

And then, he left.

He managed to survive.

I followed
the sequence of victims.

Kirill Babich was the first,
the 2nd was Vladislav Kornienko,

the 3rd, Eugenia Kornienko,
and the 4th - the nurse Marina Andreeva.

How does he choose his next victim?
Do you know?

Don't look.

The first to see
the dead body is the next one.

If I get you out of this,
will you help me?

Bogdan?

Bogdan?
What happened?

Did you see him again?

Tell me.

Tell me!

It's dangerous for you
to be near me.

Bogdan!

Egor!

Egor!

- Stop.
- Leave me alone! Back off!

- Wait!
- Are you crazy?

- What the hell are you doing?
- Do you think this is what I want?

Don't you realize
you'll die without our help?

I'm doing this for you!

Go back to the flat. Now!

Our help didn't save Vika.

I'll buy new cutlery later.

The psychiatric clinic
opens at 8 a.m.

We will find Victor tomorrow and learn
how to break the curse. Understand?

Victor Isaev
was discharged 5 years ago,

but you can talk
to Anna Izmailova.

She was in the ward next to his.

Hello. How many of you are here?

Three.

Could you tell us what you know
about Victor Isaev?

Do you remember him?

Why are you asking?

My father investigated the case
with suicides in this hospital.

I want to know
what really happened.

What's wrong with your eyes?

Victor infected me with his fear.

He was afraid all the time.

He constantly said
that he sees…

Him.

He tormented Victor with visions.

And I... I began sensing
his presence, too.

He was always with Victor.
I know it.

Did Victor ever tell you

where that creature came from
and what it was?

Victor said
that they had always been together.

How did Victor get rid of him?

Do any of you see him?

- Yes. Me.
- He must leave the room. Take him away.

- Be calm, please!
- Go! Leave me!

- Be calm.
- Out, please.

Make him leave the room.
He must leave.

- Wait.
- Please!

If he leaves the room,
will we be able to continue?

Yes.

Go out the door.

But sit there, where I can see you.
Understand?

Go on, please.

Who is he to you?

- He's my brother.
- I am very sorry.

Of course,
they didn't believe Victor.

They said he was hallucinating

and diagnosed him
with some syndrome.

- Capgras syndrome.
- Yes.

Victor couldn't take it anymore.

He tried to drown himself,

but someone saved him.

And he went to the one
who had saved Victor,

and started killing.

I was the first one
who knew what to do.

I saved myself.
And I told everyone here: don't look.

Wait. A clinical death?

Is this the way to pass the curse
to someone else and to survive?

Karina, stop!

- Don't look! Don't!
- He's alive!

Get help, quick!

Help!

Don't… look...

Don't… look...

Help! Please! Quick!

Hello?

Don't go home.
The police have serious questions for you.

Find Victor Isaev address for me.

- Egor.
- Please.

Okay, but be very careful.

Egor, I hope
you'll never watch this.

I am infected,
but I still have a chance.

I found the man
with whom it all began.

Victor and I agreed

that he would take this...
creature back.

If everything works out,

we can stop those deaths,
and I will come back.

I hope you can forgive me.

You can still quit
and walk out of this.

You shouldn't say such things.

I always knew
our parents weren't insane.

Bogdan doubted.

I'm glad he learned the truth.

I am ashamed of myself

for believing the rumors
about my father's insanity.

I found a video on his camera.

He was infected.

I think he died.

Have you seen him?

Look at me!

He will hang me,
like he hung my mom.

You know what we must do.

- No.
- Yes.

Yes. It's the way to survive.
Do you have other ideas?

- Are you trying to play the hero?
- I…

Yes, but what will it change?
You will die first, and then I.

It will give us time.
Time to figure out what to do next.

For now, we will give it to each other.

Do you think it's so easy

to bring back a person
whose heart has stopped?

Are you ready to give up?
Then it's all for nothing.

My parents, your parents,
Bogdan, Vika.

We must.

I'm scared.
I'm very scared.

There.
It's not too tight, no?

It's okay.

We can try another way
if you like.

No. I'm ready.

It will be alright.

There... Come on.
Come on!

There now.
Easy, easy, easy, easy.

It's alright.
Okay, okay.

Okay, okay, okay.

All is well.

Do you already know
how you will die?

Where's Egor?

Went somewhere.

What are you doing here?

You must understand
that it's for the best.

Karina?

Why are you back so early?

What...

Stay out of it.
Don't look for us.

From: Uncle Boris

Victor Isaev, Narvskaya,
Dubovaya street, 23.

Karina...

He killed your brother, right?

I'm sorry.

Are you hungry?
Would you like to eat something?

Moment.

There. Eat.

Where's Egor?
What have you done to him?

I haven't done anything to him.
He's not infected.

I don't want to cause anyone
any harm.

I must stop these deaths.

I must stop him.

He will kill until he returns to me
to torment me for the rest of my life.

5 years ago
I didn't get rid of an infected body:

I was afraid of losing him.

He's like a part of me.

At first,
I just sensed him near me.

I sensed his desire to kill.

I thought I was insane.

I wanted to be cured.

I wanted
to get rid of this desire.

I truly did.

And then I saw him
for the first time.

He began to torture me
even more.

He was always there
and showed me terrible visions.

He wanted me to kill.

I almost gave up.
I couldn't keep resisting.

But I didn't want to harm anyone.
I'm a good person.

I tried to stop it all,

but instead I freed him
and he began to kill.

The last infected person
was Egor's father.

He wanted me to help him,
to save his life.

I could have done it,
but then he would come back to me.

He would have made me kill.

POSSESSED WOMAN
TAKES HER OWN LIFE

FOLLOWING HUSBAND"S DEATH
IN A CAR ACCIDENT

Don't move!
Where's Karina?

I told you to stay out of it.

- Where's Karina?
- She's safe.

- What have you done to her?
- Nothing yet.

- Karina!
- Egor, calm down.

Why do you need her?

I must stop him.

How do you intend to do it?

Dissolve the body in acid,
so no one can see it.

Then he will disappear forever.

My father…
What did you do to him?

It's not important anymore.
You can help me now.

- It will save many lives.
- It's all your fault.

You brought him.

- All those people died because of you!
- No.

He is the actual killer.
He does it to return to me.

I must put an end to this.

Karina is not infected anymore.
We swapped.

Then I will kill you both.
And I don't care if it's true or not.

Egor!

Karina!

Karina!

Where are you?

Damn it. Just hold on.
Hang in there.

No!

Noooo!

No!

Sit still.

No.

No.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

- Please! No!
- Shut up.

Come on. 2, 3, 4, 5.

1, 2, 3, 4.

Come on. 1, 2...

Come on!

Please! I told you.

Please. 1, 2.

Karina, you…

No. Victor saw you first.

- No.
- Shut up.

Where is he?
Uncle Boris!

Karina told me everything.

It's you!
You killed my father!

He was infected.
I had no choice.

You betrayed him.
You promised to take back the curse.

- Take me to the hospital.
- Shut up.

He will torment me again.

Please, stop my heart.

- Pass him to someone else. I will help.
- Shut up!

I will help you find a way
to get rid of him forever.

- Uncle Boris...
- Quiet!

You know what we need to do now.

No…

No, no!

What must we do?

There's only one way.

No. There must be something else.

There's no other way.

- There must be some other option!
- We have no other options.

Something else.
Some other option. It must be there.

Do you want to be like him?

Do you?!

The ambulance
won't make it in time.

Okay. One second.

Forgive me, Egor.

I left you and your mother
in order to protect you.

I hope you will understand.
I had no choice.

Son, I love you and your mother
very much.
