Her breathing is strange. Is that normal?

A lot of people in critical condition breathe like that.

Go get some food, nothing will happen to her without you.

No. No, no, no.

Look, what's a million euro compared to what's going on now?

- Let's give him the money and forget. - He's trying to provoke you!

He's forcing you to bribe him because he can't dig up any dirt.

And what do you suggest?

My business isn't working, my employees are leaving, my accounts are blocked.

My rating is below zero. What should I do?

Keep quiet and do nothing.

You are so calm, it's crazy.

- Yes? - My client doesn't bribe.

- Who is this? - Don't be stupid. You know how this is.

I don't understand.

You understood what you needed to. My client doesn't bribe, he's honest.

Tell me you name, please.

Goodbye.

THE STORM

Look, Markin handled all cost sheets and business decisions.

Together with Krukov. How they worked up there, I don't know.

I had no right to double-check the cost sheets. I just signed what they brought me.

I understood that some of the documents were falsified,

but my job was to sign with no questions asked.

That's not it. Money transfer, financial fraud?

I just realized that we didn't follow the technology standards all the time.

That's what I said in court.

I understood it was for the sake of cutting costs, but I've never seen...

Tell me about the assessment.

I don't know, I wasn't part of it.

I learned that the building passed and was about to open when it was over, that's it.

My god, do you know anything at all?

Do you get that I'm a body?

Just a body to hide Krukov behind.

- You are useless. - Why? Wait!

Isn't what I said enough to do something? I am ready to be your witness in court.

I need evidence. Papers, facts.

I don't have any. I just told you all I know.

Please don't send me back! I am ready to cooperate, to help in any way I can!

Run!

No!

This night 5 unknown people broke into Semen Krukov's headquarters and trashed it.

There are victims. One volunteer and the headquarter's leader were present.

The latter was unlucky. He was beaten up and is in the hospital now.

We were working. Somebody started throwing rocks and smoke bombs at the windows.

We got scared and tried to get outside, but were attacked and...

Witnesses say the extremists were wearing masks. They remain unidentified.

The extremists left a message. This is what the headquarters' walls look like now.

The investigators haven't shared any versions yet, but we could assume...

Mark, pack your bag, you are late!

...that the parents of the collapse victims could be responsible for what happened.

Going to school, Mark?

Mom told me to.

Do you want me to tell you what awaits you there?

What?

Everybody is just waiting for you to deal with the stress

and show up so that they can beat you up. Everybody knows whose son you are.

Be careful not to die.

- Agatha, what are you doing? - What am I doing?

- Why are you scaring him? - I didn't do anything.

Mommy, I'm not going to school.

Scared, huh?

What are you saying?! He's a child, go apologize.

I won't. I told him the truth.

Agatha, are you out of your mind?

Are you not? Or you just don't care about us?

Do you even know what people are saying about us in the school chat?

They call us the killer's children.

- You know it's not true, right? - Sure, will you always be on his side?

- In this case, sure. - My god. You'll really be protecting him?

Agatha, no need for these attacks right now. He's having a very tough time.

- Tough time? - Tough time, Agatha!

He's having a tough time? I wish he'd died with those children!

You b****!

Sloppy work. Why did you beat the leader up?

The guys got carried away. Did a bit too much. Believable, though.

They pressed charges, I need to deal with that now. Here, take it. I'm paying less.

Oh come on! It turned out OK!

That's my decision, not yours.

I got it. Again, I'm sorry. No offense.

Sure.

- You wanted to see me? - Yes, come in. Close the second door.

- Did something happen, Larisa Semenovna? - It did. Sit down.

Leonov started to talk. There was a failed attempt on his life,

and he went to Gradov to turn himself in.

But that's OK. Markin is the one who worries me.

If he talks, we are finished.

What shall we do?

Jenya, we thought about it a lot and realized we have only one option.

You go to Markin and tell him not to speak under any circumstances.

- Me? - Who else?

- But why me? - Who do you suggest? Me?

The whole town knows my face. Or him? His face, too.

- What if somebody recognizes me there? - Jenya, come on.

I'm not doing it. It is dangerous.

Jenya, that's not an answer for you. You'll go to jail.

Did you take the money, Jenya? You will go to jail.

- And you guys won't? - We all will.

Go on, Jenya. Help your colleagues.

If I come to him, it won't change anything.

Show him this folder.

Show it to him. Just let him know what's in there.

Jenya, dear, this needs to be done. So come on now, come on.

Do you remember me?

Yes, you are from the Prosecutor's Office.

My boss asked me to talk to you.

Go on, talk.

- Leonov, despite our agreement, started... - I know.

So yes.

Don't worry.

Leonov know nothing about bribing and other issues.

He has nothing to help the investigation.

It's not him we are worried about. It's you.

Why is that, exactly?

It's about my silence, isn't it?

It is. Precisely.

I was told to give you this. So that you could have a look.

You needn't have bothered. I wasn't going to assist the investigation.

But with these papers it is at least guaranteed, right?

- What do we have? - This is about Markin's accounts.

Few transfers, no large sums.

- Other relatives? - Checked Markin's wife, same.

That's it? That's all the relatives?

Got it.

I need all the phone calls he had while in the remand center.

That's clear. I contacted the Prosecutor's Office, I'm going there right now.

I'll look through their protocols. If there are any mistakes or...

There aren't any. Go where I told you to.

What if I find something?

Leave the prosecution alone!

I need phone calls, meetings, accounts - that's it!

Go on, quick!

- Hi there! - Hi.

- How are you? - Fine.

They wouldn't let me see you for so long. Grisha could only now make arrangements.

Do you know about the headquarters?

Who did it?

The rivals, the police... Could be anyone.

- Everybody says it's the parents. - That's unlikely.

Don't think about it. It did us no harm.

Such things happen before elections.

How are you, how are the children?

Well... Mark is overwhelmed.

It's because you are nervous.

You should be calm. We didn't do anything wrong.

You need to show that by staying calm.

How's Agatha?

Stays in her room.

Humiliates Mark.

Says stupid things.

About me?

I see.

So.

You should make her shut up, whatever it takes.

Imagine if she says something wrong about me on the Net!

Cut her off.

I won't.

- Who is it? - Hello, the Investigative Committee.

- Alexey Fedorovich? - That's me, hello.

My name is Gradov, I am the senior investigator of the Economic department.

I need to talk to you about the collapse.

Sure, come in.

Are you out of your mind? "The planned attack?" That's crazy.

I'll explain again. Slowly.

Krukov's headquarters were trashed. 5 unknown people.

The leader, Rykov Konstantin Ivanovich, was beaten up. You are one of the suspects.

Why am I a suspect?

This is the printout of the parents' chat.

Here: "Let's just bomb their headquarters. They'll all die.

And Krukov should be tied to the train so that he turns into meat.

Only then will I find peace." Did you write this?

So what? It's an emotional statement. You get that I wasn't serious, right?

"I'm not afraid of anything. I am ready to blow up the office tomorrow."

This is enough to arrest you.

On what grounds? This is an emotional statement on the Net...

Everybody says such things. Saying doesn't mean doing.

- I didn't do anything, got it? - But I'll say you did.

I don't care what you'll say.

I didn't do this! My daughter died, I have a right to be angry.

I write this in the private chat. There are a lot of such statements there.

Are you going to arrest everyone?

Do you want to know what I think?

I am sure that Krukov is to blame for this tragedy.

I am sure he stole huge sums of money from the budget.

I am sure that building would have never passed the assessment. It was paid for.

I can put this bastard behind bars for long. I can do it. 30 years.

I just need your help.

Do you hear me?

I...

You surprised me, I don't...

...understand how to talk to you. I...

What do I need to do?

My daughter, our children...

were killed by Semen Alexandrovich Krukov. I am sure. We all are sure.

We think of revenge every day. Justice is not something to hope for.

We want to be bought. To be paid compensations. I want to ask...

...you, Mr. Semen Alexandrovich Krukov...

Is that how you want to redeem yourself? With money?

- S***. - But money can't solve everything.

Maybe in your world, Semen Alexandrovich Krukov, it does...

S***, how many times are you going to call him by his name?

But in mine and ours it doesn't. I don't understand...

You have a call on the landline. They say it's urgent. I didn't get much...

But they say you need to answer. They say your cell in unavailable.

Because I'm unavailable! Unavailable, get it?

They think we are door mats. But we are people.

Are you a human, Semen Alexandrovich Krukov?

Semen Alexandrovich Krukov, damn it.

Here are all the latest meetings our friends had.

Nothing interesting, really. Families, wives, children...

But before you got your witness, Krukov's lawyer visited him.

Do we have a recording?

No, we didn't manage to bug the room.

This woman visited, too.

She behaved weird, was looking around all the time.

I followed her to the Prosecutor’s Office. She's a secretary there.

- Find out what she wanted. - Will do.

Sergei Mikhailovich, I want to be back in the department.

What for?

I want a normal job. If it's possible, then...

It's not possible.

I understand, but if you could help...

It won't work the second time, Sasha.

You understand that I am a police officer, not a thug.

It's all the same.

Oh damn...

Pisareva.

- What's up with you? - Huh?

What's wrong? What are you thinking?

Well, work problems.

What?!

What problems could you have at work?

I have real work problems every day, but you?

- It's just blues, isn't it? - Sure...

Come here.

Hello.

Why so sudden?

- We decided not to call. - This is for you.

Let's go.

What do the police have?

A body. A witness.

And what does it say?

It says what it's told to.

And?

And there are construction workers.

Prosecution has their statements, they will never come up.

What does the second witness know?

- What second witness? - Markin.

He is no witness. He won't talk.

He saw me several times.

He is old, the well-deserved rest is all he thinks about.

But if he decides to testify, he'll name me.

Don't worry, Mikhail Efimovich, your name was never a part of the case.

And it will never be.

If Markin knows anything about our financial schemes...

Listen, something needs to be done.

He is our problem.

You don't think this problem needs a radical solution, do you?

This problem needs any solution possible. Find the best one.

Bye for now.

Hi!

See, it's not ICU anymore. Means we are getting better.

Put it over there.

Serezha, what are you doing? I'm afraid.

- Of what? - You could get infected.

- I don't care. - Serezha, don't kiss me, don't touch me.

- Don't be silly. - Take a chair.

Tell me: have you told Varya?

- Not yet. - Right. Don't.

I'll kill you if you do it.

She's working on her PhD thesis and doesn't need to thing about her dying mother.

I'll deal with my death myself.

Marina, you are not dying.

Doctors told me everything. You understand that that's it, don't you?

Shut up, please.

I'm not even scared.

Just a little bit sad.

Well, dying is...

Shut up, please! I'm never going to hear this again, got it?

- Sergei! - S***!

- Hi! - Hi! I came to see Marina. How's she?

Fine. Let's go eat something?

There's this "Chicken Paradise" nearby. Let's go.

OK.

Here you go.

- Why didn't you order wings? - I'm not hungry.

Here, help yourself. Here's the Barbecue sauce.

I don't want it, thanks.

Can't you just take some?

You are so stubborn. It's easier to agree than to refuse.

- Cheese sauce. - I don't really like it...

May I?

Sure, come in.

I thought we agreed not to see each other for now.

I know, I'm sorry.

I know...

Something happened, Olya?

I am in a desperate situation, Misha. Nobody can help but you.

I'm listening.

Children are dying in the hospitals.

I need to get medicine, but the fund is paralyzed.

Our accounts are seized.

We can't deal with this alone. I'm asking for your help.

I'm afraid to tell Semen, he's going through so much already.

Everything is so over the top right now...

What's happening at the hospitals is...

It is a disaster.

OK, I'll think about it.

I'll think about how you could get the money.

- You understand it should be cash, right? - It will be, Olya.

- And fast. - Don't hurry me, Olya.

I told you, it will be done.

Thanks.

You aren't being watched, are you?

I hope not.

But you could be. Be careful, Olya.

Yes, I understand.

I'm sorry, I was just afraid to call you.

Go on now, leave. I'll call you myself when I can.

Oh come on...

Jenya, I'm sorry, I'm not alone.

I see. I'm sorry. I came uninvited, it's just...

Something wrong?

Nope, everything is fine.

Yura, who is it?

A colleague.

I'm leaving.

- Let's keep in touch. - Yes, sure.

How's Naida, does she miss me? You walk her, right?

She doesn't behave, but I walk...

No, the food is fine. Well, not fine, but OK.

- But I'm cold all the time. - Maybe I could bring something?

- No, it's OK. Just my rheumatism is worse. - Again!

- But it's OK all in all. - Do you need any...

- Don't worry. - How can I not worry?

Don't...

Hi there. I talked to a lawyer, he said you could still appeal. Think about it.

No, it's fine.

What should the boys and I do? Could we get somebody else?

To get you a pardon or something...

Listen, if something happens to me... Well, suddenly...

- Suddenly? - Give this recording to the police!

Are you being threatened? Somebody else knows about the recording?

Nobody else knows. But it should be given to the police.

- OK. - To the police.

Anonymously. Or you and Fedya will be in danger. Anonymously!

- I got it. - It's serious. God forbid you lose it.

- I got it. I will do it. - Don't trust anyone. Just me. Got it?

Got it...

So. This is your niece's account in Krasnoyarsk.

It was opened 3 months ago, exactly when your trial took place.

Money is being transferred into this account.

From different banks, but the sum stays the same. Half a million rubles.

Your niece has a good salary, doesn't she? For a 12-year old.

I know nothing about this.

Does your wife know?

Because she is the one who withdraws the money from this account through ATMs.

Small sums, very quietly. Here are the bank statements.

Here's the picture. Different banks, commission... But it's safer, right?

I understand. You don't talk.

That's what you're being paid for.

Let's continue.

Listen, if something happens to me...

- Well, suddenly... - Suddenly?

Give this recording to the police, OK, Luba?

Are you being threatened? Somebody else knows about the recording?

Nobody else knows. But it should be given to the police.

- OK. - To the police.

What's on the recording?

I won't talk to you without our lawyer present.

Do you think if Krukov finds out about this recording, will he go on paying you?

Or go to your wife to take her head off her shoulders?

There is no recording about Krukov. There isn't anything.

I'll give you one minute.

You need to decide: either you are with me and I protect you...

...or you are with Krukov and I'm telling him about the recording.

Your time starts now.

What do you say?

Nothing.

- Who is it? - Lubov Alexandrovna, it's the police.

Could I see some ID?

Hello. I'm Gradov Sergei Mikhailovich.

Lubov Alexandrovna, Evgeny Anatolevich told me about the recording.

I need you to give it to me.

- It's very important. - But I...

You see, Krukov found out about the recording, and your husband is in danger.

I can't give it to you. It's impossible.

I could get a search warrant, but we don't have time.

I'll give the recording to the person Jenya tells me to. And when he says so. Got it?

But he can't say anything right now! He's completely cut off.

He can't call anyone, he can't see anyone. I can't do anything to fix that.

Then get a video where he says I need to give this recording to you.

Oh s***!

You are doing a stupid thing right now.

You got the money?

- I'll have the money. - Fine.

When can she go?

Marina requires a special ICU vehicle with doctors present.

If you pay for transportation, such vehicle could be ready by tomorrow morning.

We also need to get Marina ready and do some tests. That will take some time, too.

Get her ready.

You are used to giving orders.

I'm not done yet.

I'll get the money in a couple of days.

Everybody needs to think it came from the "Gepastop" fund.

- Got it. - What should I do to make it happen?

Transferring the money into the fund's account is easiest. But that'll take time.

Bank days... Transferring money between the accounts, paying the clinic...

There's a line over there, too. But you want to skip it, right?

That's why I suggest working with the Germans directly.

Transfer the money directly to them.

I can't transfer such a sum. It's in cash.

They don't work with cash.

- But I can't any other way. - Well, I don't know then.

Fine.

Let's work directly with the Germans. I'll take care of it.

You also need to arrange the bribes with the doctors for Marina to skip the line.

I'll pay you, of course.

2 million.

Do it.

- May I? - Sure.

Take your places!

That's it, guys.

Let's eat, guys.

Serezha, I'm sorry. I didn't want to fight, it's just the nerves.

I'm sorry, too.

It'll be OK.

- Germany has the best doctors. - Yes.

I can't come with you. I really need to stay here.

Varya will go with you.

- You told her?! - I did.

I told her and asked her to come here. Marina, Varya is going with you.

That's it. Don't say anything. Got it?

You are unbearable.

And you are an idiot if you thought I'd listen to you.

Who?

What did you call me?

What did you just call me?!

- Did you say I was an idiot? - No.

You said I was an idiot.

Serezha, I heard it. You called me an idiot.

Nope. You little idiot.

Don't kiss me, you shouldn't...

My god, how silly you are.

It will be OK.
