We're talking about captain Zelenov.

He followed a witness. The witness was killed in front of him.

- Get out of the car! - Calm down, I'm from police.

- How does he explain that? - He doesn't.

He said they came, shot him and left.

So you conducted the Antonov's case?

Antonov and Lityagin are co-owners of a company.

- After they got another stockholder. - Stepan Kolesnikov. Your wife's husband.

Who is the wife?

She was married a man, who was a leader of a gang.

Racket, contract killing.

Zelenov put him in prison and married his wife.

There was a call. Some woman was trying to drown herself in the pond.

There were two jeeps, and guys holding a woman.

That was my wife.

Did you take down those jeeps license numbers?

- Did your people assault my wife yesterday? - I'm a deputy. What are you talking about?

I remember that.

What were you afraid of, Antonov?

Three years ago Stepan Kolesnikov came down on me.

We gave him his share.

Now he is in prison, but he reissued the documents on his representative.

The next after Lityagin's death representative.

I need to go to Sasha.

According to online information captain Torch supports some commercial points.

He shares with Schapov.

And he does it right in his office.

Well, Antonov, enjoy!

I'll call you in 30 minutes.

You will go with Zhenya. He will explain you everything.

Hi, Sasha. I am Zhenya, if you remember me.

- Let's go. - Yura, what is going on now?

I'll explain you in the car. Let's go.

- What about my job? - I will call them.

I think everyone knows what happened here yesterday.

Let's not hurry with juridical appraisal of the situation.

Also I want you to understand me properly.

I guess because of my age

I think I'm forced into retirement.

According to my doctor's advice, I am on sick leave.

But I promise, I will do my best to get back to work as soon as possible.

While I am away, I assign captain Zelenov to be in charge here.

But I am suspended.

I didn't see the order of your suspension.

And as far as I know, on Lityagin's case you are only a witness.

So you and Chapova take an office and get to work.

Any questions?

Excuse me, I need to go for some private business. I didn't expect you...

You are the boss now, so you decide.

- More questions? - What are we gonna do with Antonov?

I don't know. We didn't receive a statement neither from him nor from his relatives.

Major Zhuzhukalo from department of security said about his kidnapping.

So let them deal with that.

So were Schapov and Torch caught forever, or?..

Ask Zelenov.

Good luck!

I will be away for 3-4 hours,

We work in a usual mode. If anything happens, the officer on duty calls me.

Captain Torch supposed to be the officer on duty.

You are on duty today.

- But I'm on duty tomorrow. - Then you'll be on duty out of turn.

Any questions?

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Go on.

Yura saw me in a shop

and came to meet me.

I said I was married.

He asked if I was happy.

I said, 'Yes'.

He smiled and apologized.

Did he smile well?

Yes, he did. He always smiles well.

Yes, that's important.

At the second time I met him at the interrogation.

I shouted at him, and said that he was taking vengeance on my first husband Stepan.

I didn't know that time that Stepan with his gang did seven murders,

and also several beatings and tortures.

I felt sick when I heard about it at the trial.

In three months Yura and I started living together.

Do you live well?

Excuse me, what does it have to do with it?

- It does. Because... - No, it doesn't.

Somebody attempted to drown you. Who was that and why?

I don't know who that was, I didn't even see their faces.

And they didn't drown me. They just pushed me to the water.

They asked me about some Stepan's documents. Some shares.

They told me they would push me again, but the car came and that's it.

- What documents were they talking about? - I don't know.

Maybe...

A man came to me after the trial and gave me a bag.

There were some papers and money there.

I didn't even look what it was, just threw it in fire.

Why didn't you tell Zelenov about that?

Because everything that concerns of my ex-husband doesn't matter to me.

However, you call your ex-husband by his name.

How should I call him? 'He' or 'Scum'?

No, you call him right, by his name.

- This way you will recover faster. - Do you think I am sick?

You loved you husband much, didn't you? And he caused you so much...

Let's finish this conversation.

We must get from you as much information as possible.

We must be confident in you.

Do you think I can get away?

That is possible.

Don't worry, I won't. It's very good I will leave.

So, Sergey and Maria are always gonna be with you,

and they will try not to complicate your life.

But if they tell you to do something

you must do it implicitly.

Can I take your purse?

And your mobile.

Look at this phone. This is not the ordinary phone.

There are only two lines here.

Button 'S' means 'Sergey' - it's me, button 'M' means 'Maria' - it's she.

If you need anything, you can call us anytime.

This button is 'call', this button is 'cancel'.

- Everything's clear? - Yes.

Very good.

- Did you bring things? - What? What things?

Your wife Alexandra Kolesnikova's things.

She is under national protection now.

And where are we gonna live?

- I guess you'll be at home. - What about her?

Look, I asked you to protect her.

I'm a policeman, I work with you, and I am her husband.

She will be back when there is no threat of her life.

- If she wants to. - What do you mean?

- I don't understand it. - As far as I understand, no things for her.

What about trust?

There is trust and there is absolute trust.

When you tell me to jump off the window from the fifth floor,

and even if I don't know why, I do it.

That's the absolute trust.

I don't get it. Did I do something wrong?

Maybe you can explain it to me?

A man was killed because of you.

He was trying to hide, you took him out, and somebody killed him.

- I couldn't do anything. - You, scum, why couldn't you?

Wasn't it because you didn't think it over?

Didn't cover him? Why?

You must answer, captain.

You must be responsible for other people.

And after that there will be absolute trust to you.

Can I at least say good-bye to her?

A man was killed because of him, and he is as calm, as an elephant in a zoo.

What crap you are!

Much better now.

Don't forget to bring her things.

Get up, please.

Put your hands up.

Sit down.

Take off your shoes.

I didn't put anything there.

You didn't, but other people could.

Yura!

Feels like the first day in a kindergarten. When my mother left me there.

You will be safe.

Do you remember, you told me that you would ever protect me.

If I only knew from whom.

Let's go home.

It will be better here.

Yes, you are right.

I started getting used to you.

You are a good man.

Internal Security Department

You see, Yura, someone works and someone...

There was a time he was a respectable man.

We used to study in the secondary school together.

I studied at the nail-catcher faculty, but they didn't accept him.

And he became a milling machine operator.

But now as you see he works in an analytical department.

Alik, meet Yuri Zelenov.

The one who missed Antonov?

The one who worked with him for six months and didn't understand anything?

I understood he was in danger.

I suppose we found it out. It was the colonel Schapov.

- He was arrested. - Great.

So you believe in that version?

- Excuse me, how should I call you? - Albert Bagratovitch so far.

By the way, you are the deputy of the colonel Gorevitch, right?

- He trust you much, doesn't he? - We've known each other for long.

I worked with him as a police agent.

Do I have to answer the first question?

Try to.

I think there are many strange things in Antonov case.

How surprising!

We have two murders and two attempted murders.

What were the attempted murders? Didn't hear about them.

Antonov's driver and his wife Sasha.

That's right. Go on.

Now attempted murder of Antonov himself.

That's too expensive. Guns, killers, cover.

What is it all about?

Well, Antonov has a promising production.

Scientific production, to be more precise.

It's not expensive, but good brains needed.

- But where to find them? - To buy them.

More expenses.

You mean that Antonov's company have someone valuable?

Who is that?

I don't know.

That's frank.

Maybe you really should deputize for Gorevitch

and keep order in the area?

Why did you ask me to come then?

Just to meet you.

- Alik. - Yuri.

Thank you, Yuri.

There should be someone who keeps order, right?

- Hello, Yuri Konstantinovitch. - Hi.

There is some misunderstanding.

I was standing at the store, and that Lunin comes to me.

And he puzzles me.

- Go on. - He asks me who takes the money.

What money?

- I didn't get it either. - Can you speak clear?

Today is Tuesday. He brought money to Torch on Tuesdays.

- And you know where Torch is now. - Got it. How much did you offer?

Reasonably.

- No, I was outraged first. - Why?

How can I?

Then I thought a little,

and said that Torch was closed and we had a new owner, which was you.

Everyone knows you are honest.

So the price changed, taking into account your interests.

We negotiated and came to an agreement about eight thousand.

- How much was before? - Six.

He understood everything. We will meet in the evening.

So what are we gonna do?

If someone offers, we can't reject.

Sveta!

The elevator is out of order.

Thank you.

Sveta!

Didn't know you had a sister.

She was a smart girl, graduated from MGIMO,

I thought he'd marry a prince, but she married Margolin.

I don't even like the name Margolin!

- Nice name. - This is their son Roma.

My nephew.

- Hi. - Hi.

This family lives in Podolsk.

They fight there every week.

When he studied there, I guess he forgot the way to school.

So I transferred him here, to the best high school.

- And what was the point? - I told you, the bus was broken.

During the last five days?

And she said, 'You're breaking the family'.

- Where is the composition? - Here.

You copied it from the Internet, didn't you?

No, you didn't.

The first line was definitely written by you.

'Chekhov is a cool writer'. And there is a mistake here.

'Cool' is written with double 'o'.

Both 'cool' and 'good' are written with double 'o'.

And the rest is taken from the Internet.

Rewrite the composition.

And you will get money for the Internet only on Sunday.

- He writes that Chekhov is a cool writer. - Isn't he?

Did you read him?

Don't lie to me. You read at least 'Kashtanka'.

Do you know any of his plays?

'Seagull', 'The Cherry Garden', 'Uncle Vanya'.

- Have you read it? - Yes.

- Who was uncle Vanya? - Definitely not a cop.

- Like father like son. - Psycho!

Zhenya, do you want me to study with him?

What was the reason you came here for in the first place?

- I brought you some food. - Is that all?

- There was a burglary in the area again. - I heard of it. So what?

The third burglary a month. We need to do something.

So do something.

Zelenov, firstly, all burglaries took place during daytime.

Only valuable things were taken.

But it was impossible to carry away everything, so they needed...

- A car. - That was secondly.

There are only two roads go in and out of our region.

- That was thirdly. - Mind your own business!

One road ends up with the traffic control post.

The other road ends up with the bank.

Which one are they gonna use?

That was fourthly.

And the last but not least. The bank has video recording.

We know the time of the burglary. So we know when they passed the bank.

- Do you want me to continue? - No, enough.

Barkov, your task is simple.

You meet him. You take the money, you count it twice.

And hold it in front of you.

Because you've got the camera right here.

- You got it? - Yes.

- What is your name? - Adyr Potapovitch.

I got it. Potapovitch. Tapping somebody's phone.

Don't divert your attention away.

If everything goes smoothly, captain Zelenov and I will help you

get some bonuses, rewards and your colleagues respect.

And he will get a prison.

If he's not a fool, he will tell us about Torch,

and about those who were close to him.

He will be a witness, and he will learn his lesson.

One more thing. Are you an honest cop?

My friend has a son, who is a police trainee.

I'd like you to study him.

The guy is honest too, he is smart, he doesn't take money.

Why did he join police then?

He likes obstacles.

All right, Barkov. You gotta go.

Did you read that fable about the honest man in a magazine?

In a newspaper.

What if I said that about myself?

- Was your father a general? - No, my father was an alcoholic.

And my mother was a dishwasher.

Guys, he came.

I see Lunin.

I won't give you more.

I gave Torch six thousand, and that was a lot for me.

What is going on here? Are you sergeant Barkov?

Don't you see it yourself?

And you are Lunin, right?

Everyone pays.

We live in Russia.

I've been working from the beginning of Perestroika.

After I made my first million, I found myself in a hospital.

Now I don't have neither the million, nor the company and nor the apartment.

But I've got third-degree burns, six fractures, loosen spleen,

didn't get smarter, earned some money again.

Hired guard for myself.

And that guard...

They were in prison for two years,

and in two years they came to me and asked me to give them half of my business.

I know the rest.

You became poor and smart,

and started giving the money to everyone.

Can you please be more polite to me?

Zhenya, can I talk to him?

Felix Sergeevitch, you found Barkov yourself.

- You offered to pay him yourself. - Yes, I did.

Captain Torch is in prison, so what?

Tomorrow new people will come and they will ask me why I didn't pay.

I will have to pay fees. I used to pay them seven years ago.

It doesn't matter now.

- Styopa Kolesnikov started coming to me. - Didn't he come before?

Of course he did. He took my factory for some people from Saint-Petersburg.

Felix Sergeevitch, continue your story. Seven years ago...

Seven years ago I had a fight with Antonov.

- What does he have to do with it? - Everyone thinks he doesn't.

I brought Antonov to this business.

I knew they were friends with Kolesnikov.

I even came to Antonov for advice.

People said that he was something like an informer for Kolesnikov.

He was a friend with everyone, he was trying to find needed information.

Then he advised Kolesnikov how much he can take from whom.

So they came to me.

And you let them go, didn't you?

What else do people say?

- That he was kidnapped. - Do you know who?

Such things never sink, and they always come to the surface.

So tell me, what you found out.

I took video files from the bank for two days.

150 cars went through the bank at the first day,

201 cars went for the second day, and 120 cars yesterday.

All license plates are visible, no doubles.

No doubles.

That's not all.

Elevators in our house are often out of order.

That's why I remembered our repairmen's faces and their cars.

Because if I see their cars, I know I have to walk.

The first car is from their company.

And the second was white Audi.

Look.

This is the first day.

And this is the second.

The owner of Renault is Tsepnyuk Vitaliy Igorevitch.

And he works in the elevator repair.

Interesting coincidence.

I also did some searches in the dispatching office.

In their register.

Elevators in all entrances were regularly out of order.

And they went to repair them at those particular dates.

Sergey, why didn't you work that well before?

Nobody asked me to.

By the way, today is the preventive day at my entrance.

Get on the floor! Put your hands behind your back!

- The first one is clean. - The second one is clean.

Put your hands behind your head.

Get up! Go!

- Bring the witness here. - Hold on. Just a minute.

Masha, open up! It's me. Everything's over.

Open it.

- You've got them? - Sergey Konoshin did it.

- Good job. What about Antonov? - He didn't show up.

- Open the case. - Only two days have gone.

What are you waiting for?

You saw the kidnapping, so open the case.

Are you back at work?

I'm tired of sitting home. I'll work some more.

That happened today, while you were trying to detain the burglars.

If someone thinks that the colonel went to the hospital, he is mistaken.

Gorevitch was looking for other addressees.

This is where he went to.

This is who is in charge of heart attacks.

- The road. We couldn't come closer. - Wait.

You should've rinsed your tooth with vodka.

- There are some normal people. - Quiet!

Do you like it? Where are you going?

This is your case. I have things to do with Gorevitch.

Don't be rude. Alik is gonna come soon. Sit down.

Andrey Yakovlevitch, you frightened me again. How did you come in?

I knocked. I can't get rid of my old habit.

I didn't hear you knocking.

I'm sorry, that is my habit. How are the things here?

Poppies?

- You like them, don't you? - Yes, how did you know?

- You told me once. - Really? Thank you.

Lidiya Sergeevna.

Poppies!

By the way, your smile... No, I didn't mean that.

Bad joke.

If I'm here, let me ask you how you find my tie?

All right.

I'm sorry.

What was it?

The same.

I'll kill your Zelenov.

I'm sure he does everything he should.

What are you waiting for? You can go!

This is how I met you.

I told Misha Shevchuk to check you.

Why are you so tense?

I just want to answer the questions which worry you.

What questions?

Why wouldn't you rinse your tooth with vodka?

My boss said that so I must obey.

Did you watch the recording?

You have questions?

Come on, Yura, you know Gorevitch better than we do.

As for your version about connection with Mitin.

Valeriy Mstislavovitch hates Mitin.

Only in marriage love is important, but in business it's not.

Let me show you one story about the businessman Antonov

and his amazing kidnapping.

Once upon a time a businessman Antonov lived in our city.

He had a company with a scientific production with licenses and stuff.

With a turnover about 2-3 millions of dollars a year.

But suddenly Antonov decided to spend all his money

on a plot of land of 45 hectares near Klin.

As he said to transfer his business there.

But we know that he's got a scientific production,

and he needed brains for that, which he needed to transfer there too.

The story doesn't look right.

So what is the secret?

- Federal route. - What a boy!

That's right. Federal route.

1 mile of that route will be just on that plot of land.

There will be restaurants, hotels, gas stations.

And Antonov becomes a sheikh.

Do you like this story?

This story can win Oscar.

That's only the beginning.

Kolesnikov shows up.

Antonov and him studied together, then they worked together.

Then they started business in the mid-90's.

Kolesnikov was engaged in dark business.

And Antonov in white one.

That is what people thought.

But in reality they were partners in crime.

Once Kolesnikov and Antonov came to Mityay, and asked him,

'Do you know where the federal route is gonna go by?'

'That's the big secret!', he answered.

However, he shared the information.

So Kolesnikov and Antonov bought that plot of land,

and formalized it on Antonov's company.

And owners of that company were Antonov, Kolesnikov and the deceased Lityagin.

But they forgot about Mityay. They just thanked him.

And he got offended. Started plotting against them.

And then Antonov became dodgy again.

First Stepan Kolesnikov found himself in prison.

And you, Yura should've paid attention to the fact that all witnesses in Kolesnikov case

for some reason worked in Antonov's company before.

You should've paid attention, but you haven't. It happens.

And then Antonov dodged the bullet

but that bullet reached his driver.

Who was in a coat, which looked like his employer's coat.

But nobody worked on the version that Mityay's people could shoot.

Why do you think?

Because colonel Gorevitch works on Mityay.

Lityagin was left holding the baby, and he disappeared.

So Antonov was trying to get rid of partners,

and he wanted to be the only owner of that plot of land.

Yes, but he was careful.

If he got rid of everyone, he would've been next.

Lityagin is on the run. Sasha is the owner of Stepan's share.

Although the papers were burned, which Antonov knew about.

The rest is clear, the law went through,

Antonov took out Lityagin with Yura's hands from his escape

and put him under bullet.

Why did they try to kill Sasha if they burned the papers?

Mityay didn't know about it.

And Antonov pushed us.

He hopped that we'd take Mityay's people, would put him in prison,

and would get Gorevitch. If only there wasn't your friend... what is his name?

Igor Zibrov. He is just a good physicist and a good guy.

It doesn't matter. The finale of this story happened two days ago.

Antonov was kidnapped in an amazing way.

Who do you think did that?

Mityay's people?

If that so, our hero is dead now.

I know where to find him.

Mister Antonov, how do you do.

I'm a colonel Pall from the Internal Security Department.

Any resistance will be considered as an attempt on the officer.

- Do you want me to explain the article? - No need. What do you want?

- I need something. - Do you have a warrant?

Not now. But we can arrange it if we need to.

- What is the reason? - If you say that you were kidnapped...

- Nobody kidnapped me. - We realized that was fake.

In connection with that my colleagues and I have some questions to you.

For example, what connects you with Stepan Kolesnikov.

With that bandit?

And also tell us how you and your friend managed to buy the plot of land

which will be on the way of the federal route.

And also how you arranged that false kidnapping

trying to hide from Mitin, colonel Gorevitch and maybe someone else.

So you want to catch those criminals,

and then to catch Mitin.

And according to your version I killed bandit Kolesnikov.

Great. Nice. Do you have proofs?

No, you don't. It's just a nice version.

But I like nice versions.

- We have more questions to you. - What questions?

Do you think I will testify upon myself?

Because tomorrow there will be adopted a draft federation route building.

And you will be ruthlessly polished off.

Because of revenge, and not the money.

It's good you understand that, so I will have more protection from you.

Who told you about protection?

There is an article about abandonment of danger.

I'm also a very important witness.

So you are ready testify against Mitin and colonel Gorevitch?

Let's talk about it tomorrow.

I advise you to try this champagne, which was brought from France.

- Excuse me, Antonov is found. - Quickly deal with it!

Gorynych, your Antonov is found.

He is alive, son of a bitch.

They take him out of town.

Not my people. Yours.

This is none of your business.

Give an order. To stop the black Hummer 511.

To stop it whatever they show you.

To tell me the coordinates.

Don't use the police range. They might overhear you.

You got it, Gorynytch?

She was from out of town. She went to the wood for mushrooms...

This is Gorevitch.

Good day, sir!

511? Got it. We'll take it.

Can you send reinforcement to us?

I got it, yes, sir!

Give me the gun. Get out of here!

What happened?

- Wait there. - Where?

Cove me, stupid!

That was Gorevitch's order.

Don't move, or I will cease fire!

Put your hands so I could see them!

Barkov, come to me!

Comrade captain, I said good-bye to my life just in case.

Are you satisfied? Then go away.

I can't. I've got Goryachev's order.

- I need to call him first. - Don't call him yet.

You must understand, that was an order.

What are we going to do?

Relax.

These are our guests.

Get out from the car. One at a time.

Slowly.

Zhenya, cover him. Yura, don't move.

I'm leaving.

Listen to me, get out of here!

What the hell!

I said, get out, venal creature!

I may be venal, but not that much.

Schapov and captain Torch pled guilty partially

and they got a long time in jail.

Seven personal Mitin's guards got different terms in jail.

Colonel Gorevitch was justified for failure of evidence

and was retired from service.

The deputy didn't get any charges because of parliamentary privilege.

The government commission passed changes in the federal route,

bypassing Antonov's land.

Sergeant Barkov was decorated with courage order posthumously.

Captain Zelenov was transferred to Internal Security Department.
