Reality is only limited by your own perception of it.

It's up to you whether you populate it with angles or demons.

But then you have to deal with the creatures you filled your life with.

8 DAYS EARLIER

What's with the crowd?

The suspect's room overlook the yard.

He's at home. We evacuated the neighbors.

- Shall we enter? - Yes.

Move!

Easy, easy.

Easy, easy.

Freeze! Police! Put your hands up!

Control!

Where's Nafeev?

I say, where's Nafeev?

Who's Nafeev?

I don't know him.

Okay, thank you.

- Goodbye! - Good luck!

- Hello, ladies! - Hello!

Do you know this man?

I think I've seen him.

Like, three times.

May I have a word?

When did you see him? Under what circumstances?

Do you know this man?

Yes. He rents me this room.

And where does he live?

I don't know.

Masha rents him a room.

The room you stormed into.

- Who's Masha? - The room's owner.

She's been renting her room to that dude.

And she registered him there. Stupid.

There's nothing to tell, really.

She needed money.

And how do you pay the rent?

He comes here once a month.

I see. And how did you find this room?

There was an ad at the university.

Did it have a phone number?

No, it didn't.

- It had an email address. - Great! Do you have it?

Yes, one second.

As I understand it, you know Masha well. What's her last name?

Vasischeva. Masha..

Yes, we were friends.

- Why were? - Because she's missing.

I haven't seen her since March.

- And do you know where she is? - No.

Since she sort of got a boyfriend...

I haven't heard from her.

Sort of got a boyfriend?

She said that he was a good man.

That he took care of her and all that.

That she was going to change.

Completely change, starting tomorrow.

That's ridiculous.

So she made it up?

No, there was a man.

He drove her around in a really good car.

I saw her getting into his car a few times.

But Masha in a cool car... Can you imagine that?

I can.

So that man wanted something from her, right?

I don't think so.

He had such a cool car. What could he want from her?

But she was going to go somewhere with him.

And went missing. I guess she left with him.

And do you know the make and number of the car?

So she went missing in March. And when did that mysterious man appear?

In winter. In February, I guess.

If Nafeev shows up, call me right away.

Or if you remember anything. Anything at all.

And who's he? What did he do?

Just be careful.

Where does Masha live?

- What Masha? - Tell me where Masha lives!

What Masha?

This room belongs to Masha Vasischeva.

She registered Nafeev here.

And where can we find her?

I don't know. Her neighbor said that she last saw her in March.

She was getting into a dark expensive car.

Allegedly, she was going to her boyfriend. And that's it.

- She went missing. - A dark car?

What do you know about Masha?

Nothing. I've never even heard of her.

I only saw him.

He showed me the room.

Here, Ilya Nikolayevich.

I got a request from Levshin, an attorney.

He accuses you of professional misconduct.

He claims that you gave a fundamentally wrong assessment of Kosyrev...

Without even meeting him.

That's a serious accusation.

I wasn't wrong about Kosyrev and his assessment.

You're always sure of what you're doing even when you make mistakes.

And I trusted you, Ilya Nikolayevich.

And now what? Attorneys, killings, and we're in the epicenter of all this.

They say they found another body.

In the forest.

What do you think, is it connected to the previous murders?

I don't think so. I don't know.

I don't think so. I don't know.

And maybe it's another killer, like in your book.

When one sociopath appears, another one pops up nearby right away.

I meant that they can sense each other.

And that's why they can easily form groups.

But it's only a theory.

Yeah, there's so much violence in the world.

Meaningless and irrational.

We need to fight it by our own means here, in the hospital.

And I don't see you at work.

I no longer...

I decided to get back to full-time work.

I'm really happy about it!

I'll stay late tonight to sort things out.

That's great. Just call your wife so she doesn't worry.

Is she better, by the way?

- Better? - You said she wasn't feeling well.

Yes, she's better, thank you.

And what about that attorney?

Levshin.

I think I'll handle it.

The number is not available.

Please leave a message.

I can't reach Lavrov.

Should we leave someone here?

No, he won't come here. Especially after us making such a noise.

We need to find Masha if she's still alive.

The waitress was last seen getting into a dark car too.

Yes. And remember the old lady from the house where she was found?

She said something about a man and a dark car too.

Okay. Look, here's a dark car.

Yeah, but not the one we need.

Wait for me.

We couldn't get him. Nafeev doesn't live here.

Are you sure that he's the killer?

I'm almost certain.

The forest murder was very dirty.

He left a lot evidence.

It'll be easy for the experts to identify the killer.

The victim was killed in the forest?

Yes. Kononov can't yet confirm that all the victims were killed with the same weapon.

But I'm sure that when I bring him the knife, he'll confirm that it's a series.

I have to ask...

Is Lavrov's wife at your place?

Make sure she stays there.

I can't reach Lavrov.

ANONYMOUS: KNOCK KNOCK.

HUNTER: I'M HERE.

USER IS TYPING...

ANONYMOUS: TONIGHT. THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE.

Nafeev is 32.

In 1979, he wasn't even born yet.

So there's no way he can know Kosyrev.

Theoretically, he could use him as a role model, but...

But you don't believe it.

Kosyrev knows the killer.

And Lavrov says that Kosyrev isn't the initiator.

It means that Kosyrev's and Nafeev's stories run parallel to each other.

They have only one point of contact, and it's Lavrov.

Because Lavrov helped catch the Golovlyovsk killer.

And Nafeev was his copycat.

And it was Lavrov who confirmed the assessment that cost Kosyrev his parole.

Maybe Lavrov doesn't tell you everything he knows.

- He's not hiding anything. - That's not what I mean.

He just knows more than he thinks he does.

He doesn't see the discrepancies.

You have time to feel sorry for yourself?

Really?

And I don't!

Rita, I told you not to slam the door, didn't I?

- Okay, Mom. - You always say okay and keep slamming it.

- I'm sorry, Mom. - I didn't sleep well last night.

I took a pill and thought I would fall asleep, and you...

- Who's this? - And now I don't think I'll fall asleep.

I can hear you. Stop calling me.

Who's calling you?

Okay, I'll take another pill.

If you think they won't find you, you're wrong. Is that clear?

Hello! This is Valera. You broke my door today.

Valera! I'm sorry. I'm listening.

I remembered something. The room smelled of dogs.

I recognized the smell because my aunt keeps five dogs in her apartment.

It smelled like that.

- That's all. - Thank you, Valera.

And now I know what they were injected with.

It was a muscle relaxant.

He was a veterinary paramedic.

He could be, for example, a veterinarian.

Tolya! I've got an idea.

Nafeev used to work as a veterinarian, right?

- I guess. - Are there any vets near the forest?

Look, I don't know about vets, but there's an animal shelter nearby.

At Lobachevskogo Street.

Great.

Rita!

- Mom, I'll go out for a while. - What did you take?

- Nothing. - You took something from Dad's desk.

Mom, I took nothing from Dad's desk. Can I go?

- Easy, easy, easy. - Damn it!

What's in the bag?

- We need to find the keeper. - I already did.

I told you to wait for me, didn't I?

I thought you would come later.

Well, the keeper works together with Nafeev.

They work in shifts. Nafeev has his own room.

- Is the keeper here? - Yes. - Call him then.

I asked him where he was going.

He didn't turn around. And he was carrying a bag.

I'm not trying to say that something's wrong with him.

But I have my own thoughts.

When dogs die like flies...

I don't work here for the money, that's for sure.

I just love dogs.

I have three dogs. One of them I got from here.

Don't touch anything.

Damn it!

Damn it!

Call forensics. Let them check everything. But be quiet. He might come back.

Where are you going?

To talk to Lavrov. There's definitely something he's not telling us.

Keep it closer.

What?

The gun. Not in the bag. You won't be able to draw it fast enough.

You have two new messages from Rita.

Message number two.

Hi! I'm not calling you because I want to.

Believe me, I don't.

Forget what I said earlier.

Delete that message.

I'm calling about the case.

I'm heading to your apartment.

I have all the case files with me.

Whether you want it or not, you need to tell me everything now.

I'm sure that you know something.

And so we'll sit down together and figure it out.

And... This is Storozheva.

Bye!

Message number one.

That's not right? Not right?

I could do it my way, but you wouldn't like it.

No! Go to hell! The police will be here soon.

Rita!

Rita! Can you hear me?

Come on. Come on, my dear.

Help me. Help me!

Listen to me. Listen to me!

Listen!

Listen to me. Keep your hand here.

Listen to me! Keep your hand there!

Listen to me. Please, Rita.

What?

Say something! What?

She's in surgery.

And how bad is it?

How bad? Did you see?

She lost a lot of blood. What organs were hit and what the damage is...

I don't know.

I don't understand.

Let's start from the beginning. She went to your place.

Where were you? Where were you?

When I came home, she was already lying there.

He must have waited for her in the apartment.

I bumped into him when he was running down the stairs.

But I didn't realize that something happened.

You bumped into Nafeev?

- Nafeev? - Nafeev!

- What does Nafeev... What Nafeev? - Your Nafeev!

He's the killer.

- No. - Yes!

Don't say "no" when I know that it's "yes."

Rita knew it too. We've been after him all day.

She called you! She called you, and you didn't answer. Why?

- They let Nafeev go? - Yes. Your damn colleagues let him go.

What did she want from you?

She said that you're hiding something. What?

- What? - What? I want you to tell me what, Lavrov!

What we need now is to find Nafeev.

We only have one lead. We need to find out where he might be hiding.

So we need any information. Do you hear me?

Do you have any thoughts or ideas?

I don't know.

- I don't know. - Is this hers?

Yes. The doctors gave it to me.

I wanted to make it right.

But I failed.

I don't know where to go.

Yes.

It's my fault.

I just wanted to make it right.

There's that funny old lady.

She said that she saw a car arrive last night.

A couple got out. The man was almost dragging the woman.

As you can see, there are no signs of forced entry.

It looks like she opened the door herself.

These are not hers! She never wore anything like this!

She wore entirely different clothes! I'll show you!

If he really was dangerous to himself or others, we wouldn't have let him go.

And for your information, in order to transfer a person from a hospital...

One needs a huge pile of medical assessment reports.

Tolya!

I'll be right back.

She's alive.

Yes.

You asked me to call you about Storozheva.

Is she alive?

Yes. We did our best.

Now we just have to wait.

The next 24 hours are critical, as you know.

I know.

Thank you. I get it.

Ilya Nikolayevich! How's she?

She's back from surgery. Now we just have to wait.

Multiple wounds.

Now you believe that Nafeev is our man?

Yes. I know who he is.

I'll take charge of the case.

He was going to do the ritual.

All we have is a syringe. We'll check the contents.

And everything else too.

Do you have doubts?

Ilya Nikolayevich!

Do you realize that the killer didn't expect to see Storozheva here?

She's safe, isn't she?

Of course.

I didn't doubt it.

Tolya!

She's back from surgery, but...

We've already got the news from the hospital.

I see.

Here's the knife, Tolya.

You'll get the official confirmation in the report.

Off the record, it's the same knife that was used in all three murders.

I've been telling Rita, "Get me the knife," "Get me the knife."

And she got it, goddammit!

- And where's her bag? - What bag?

Did you find her bag?

She had a bag with her.

Like a woman's handbag.

Did Nafeev have anything in his hands when he bumped into you?

Yes, he was carrying a bag.

Do you need me to testify or sign anything?

As you wish. You can come to the station later today and give your testimony.

And now change your shirt.

- And take everything you need from here. - Okay, thank you.

- Are you going to the hospital? - Not right now. I need to take a shower.

Don't you want to tell?

- Tell what? - Don't make a fool out of me, Lavrov.

I can tell when someone's lying. Rita said you know something.

That's why she went to see you. It was you who brought Nafeev to town!

Listen, you need to calm down.

And why are you so calm?

Come on, tell me!

I have plenty of time, and I'm willing to listen. Go ahead!

I think it's you who wants to tell me something.

But I'm not willing to listen.

Rita ended up here because she suspected you!

Because she knew that you're hiding something!

And I'll find out what!

This is all your fault!

You have plenty of time? Make up your mind!

Either you're solving your problems or looking for the killer.

Don't move! I can handle violent patients.

Now, if you want to find the killer, you can just help me.

Because Rita didn't suspect me.

Can you think?

I'll show you her message.

Here.

I'm not calling you because I want to.

Believe me, I don't.

Forget what I said earlier.

Delete that message.

I'm calling about the case. I'm heading to your apartment.

I have all the case files with me.

Whether you want it or not, you need to tell me everything now.

I'm sure that you know something.

And so we'll sit down together and figure it out.

And... This is Storozheva. Bye!

What was in the message she asked you to delete?

I deleted it.

Do you know that we know each other since childhood?

She means a lot to me.

And who are you?

Who? Why are you silent?

You're nothing.

And I've been waiting for her.

I thought she would get better after Sergeev, and I would be right there.

- Who's Sergeev? - Does it matter?

A jerk like you.

He was her intern in Moscow.

She trusted him, and he set her up.

She was put under internal investigation because of him.

He's on the run, by the way.

But if she didn't tell you this, she didn't want you to know.

So if she decides to...

- She's alive. - Screw you!

So it was you who took the bag?

What's this?

The bag took most of the blows.

And I took the papers because Rita wanted me to study them.

And I'm studying.

Lavrov, do you think we won't find him?

We will. You and I.

You and I will find the real killer.

The real killer?

And who do you think Nafeev is?

Looking for Nafeev is like looking for a knife instead of a killer.

Because he's just a tool.

Rita was right.

The killer made a mistake in the forest.

That's where Nafeev exposed himself.

He strangled and raped his victim.

He stepped away from the plan.

The plan he didn't design.

And who did?

The killer's profile was correct.

He's highly organized.

Very intelligent.

He has a good job and a family.

Neither Nafeev nor Kosyrev doesn't match this profile.

It's the profile of the person who's behind the murders committed by both of them.

It's the initiator's profile.

It's his ritual. His game.

- So he doesn't kill? - Of course he doesn't kill!

That's what we had to understand from the very beginning.

But these two kill because of him.

And even if we catch Nafeev, there'll be others.

Whose car was it?

Who picked up the waitress and took her home?

Who did Plotnikova open the door to?

Look, I don't know anything about your profile.

Nafeev attacked Rita, so we need to find him! Get it?

I'm missing something.

Rita was right. What's the connection between Kosyrev, Nafeev, and the initiator?

Maybe Puchkov said something to her.

And that's why she rushed to you.

Puchkov?

Rita had a gun with her. Do you know anything about it?

No.

It's her father's gun.

Make sure it never turns up.

Even if you know nothing about it.

Rita visited you yesterday.

What did you talk about?

What happened to her?

Yes, it all comes down to you.

You're right.

But as for someone else...

I would've noticed.

I followed him.

He didn't confess, but that wasn't necessary.

And I also told her about your colleague, a psychiatrist.

By the way, I remembered his name. Masterovoy.

He confirmed Kosyrev's sanity.

But he didn't suspect that he had an accomplice.

If Kosyrev is a beast, what the person behind him is like?

And I also told Rita about Kosyrev's letter from that mysterious Anna.

And about the number 247 on the envelope.

247?

247.

Not now.

- Rita wrote this. - I don't know what this number means.

Maybe be it's something important, maybe nothing.

- What's located there? - At the town's exit?

There used to be a gas station.

There never was a traffic post. Oh, and there's an old cemetery.

By the way, Kosyrev went there a few times.

Visited his mother's grave.

Anna's?

Damn it!

- Maybe it's... - It's just a game.

Between Kosyrev and the initiator.
