Original subtitles

The deadlines have passed.

We had a deal. What are we going to do?

Give this to Katya.

Come on, let's go.

Go on.

Pasha!

- What's that? - Search report of Sviridov's flat.

Pasha, listen.

Could you check a phone number for me?

Of course I can.

- Thanks. - No problem.

Appreciate it.

- What's in the report? - They didn't find anything.

Any luck with the cars?

Sviridov owned a new Toyota Camry, but he sold it several months ago.

Nothing else has been registered in his name.

What about the car he blew up and the white van Grinevsky's son saw?

Probably registered to fake IDs.

Traffic police are checking all white vans.

All right.

I've got the transcript of Alisa's nanny being questioned.

- And? - Svetlana Fadeeva.

She worked for the Sviridovs, but they fired her before the move abroad.

She has no alibi for the day of the kidnapping.

Stop. What does that mean?

It says she was "visiting her mother in the village".

Her statement was never checked.

Meanwhile, Alisa's scarf was found in the river

and the case was closed.

So we need to find her and bring her in for questioning.

- Do we have her address? - We do.

- Women's Correctional Facility. - It's getting interesting.

She robbed the flat of her new employers.

- Where are you going? - I'm going to see her mother.

You go to the prison.

Pasha, call them up, tell them I'm coming.

- Hello. - Hello.

I'm looking for Maria Fadeeva.

Why?

She lives by the lake. Drive straight up, no turns.

- You can't miss it. - Thanks.

What's she stolen now?

Sorry?

That's the only reason the police ever come looking for her.

I just need to talk to her.

Talk?

Then you'll need this.

Svetlana Fadeeva works in our nursery.

- You've got a nursery here? - Same as out there,

but surrounded by barbed wire.

Many inmates arrive here already pregnant.

Others get knocked up inside to get better conditions.

You let them have visits and hey presto they have a bump.

What about Fadeeva?

Fadeeva's looking after other women's children.

We try to employ them according to their profession.

She wants parole, so she's on her best behaviour.

Thank you.

Move along.

Svetlana Fadeeva. Born 1993.

Started her sentence on 13 September 2016.

Sentence due to end 14 October 2019. Term of imprisonment: 3 years.

Svetlana, come in.

Have a seat.

My name is Maxim Shumov, Criminal Police.

If you smoke,

Help yourself.

I'd like to talk to you about the Sviridovs.

Alisa is my niece. Katya is my cousin.

Do you know that Alisa disappeared shortly after you were fired?

What?

- Why are you smiling? - They think they know it all here.

Where were you on the day of the kidnapping?

- At my mother's. - Can she confirm that?

You can try.

Why were you fired?

- Inspector! - We're not done yet.

Yes, we are.

Fadeeva, are you hoping for parole?

What do you want?

Are you Maria Fadeeva?

That's me. Who are you?

Varta Naumova, Criminal Police.

I need to ask you some questions.

Are you in contact with your daughter Svetlana?

I haven't heard from her in ages.

I have no idea where she could be.

You daughter's in jail, for burglary.

She was always naughty, even as a child.

Did you know she worked as a nanny?

Excuse me?

When was the last time you saw her?

I haven't seen her

since she escaped to the city with her boyfriend.

It must be around 8 years now.

- And she's never visited you? - Not once.

But she did call. Around 3 years ago, yes.

She asked me to say

that she was with me on a certain date

if the cops ever asked me.

And that's what you did?

Nobody ever asked.

- Thank you. - My pleasure.

- So what did you want to ask? - I've heard enough.

Listen, if you see Sveta,

tell her that her mother is all alone out here.

Ask her to send me some money!

I'd never come back here.

Inhale.

Exhale.

Get dressed.

Varta has successfully passed the psychological test.

She possesses great mental stamina.

With her half orphan status and the social bonuses,

my congratulations, she's accepted.

You've chosen full-time boarding school.

Yes.

It'll make it more difficult for her to adapt.

You should expect sleep disturbance,

stress, physical issues, colds.

She's strong. She'll cope.

To begin with,

life in a sports boarding school may seem too hard for the girl.

Adapting to our schedule will take some time.

She'll need your help and support in adapting.

I'm going abroad tomorrow, I'll be away 9 months.

Can you give her this?

Where are you? Can you give me the address?

What did Fadeeva say?

It turns out

she's related to Sviridov's wife. That's why they hired her as a nanny.

Regarding her alibi, it's like it says in the report. What about you?

Her mother says she hasn't seen her in years. Fadeeva's lying.

So we need to do some digging.

How's it going?

Any results?

We think the Sviridovs' former nanny was involved in the kidnapping.

I presume you've already questioned her.

She's currently serving a sentence for burglary.

- So make her talk. What's the issue? - She's clammed up.

Promise her parole, drop all the charges.

- Do I have to teach you what to do? - Her time's almost up anyway.

- She knows that. - Mess up her parole application.

She's got only 8 months to serve. She doesn't care.

The video's been leaked.

What video? Where?

It's on the city news website.

- What? - Yesterday's footage.

Hello?

Yes, we've seen it. We're taking action.

We need someone undercover in jail.

Great plan, but...

that requires special training,

which requires time, which we don't have. And it's dangerous.

Yes, of course.

That was district command.

They want to send an additional unit.

- Maybe that's a good thing. - No, I don't want any strangers here.

Any ideas?

I'll join Fadeeva in jail.

- That's a terrible idea. - It's a great idea.

We'll make up a legend, you go in tomorrow. Great work.

VADIM

Hello? Vadim, I can't talk right now.

Can't or don't want to?

You were never any good at lying, Varta.

What's it about?

I'm coming over.

I have tons of work.

Guess what I'm doing?

Looking at our Academy photos.

You look so happy.

Remember the key chain you won at the range and then generously gave to me?

I still have it.

I treasure everything that reminds me of you.

- Vadim, I'm sorry... - Varta.

Don't push me away.

Solitude is a great thing,

but not when you're lonely.

Varta?

Sorry, I really have to go.

We'll talk later.

Hi, Dad.

When Volodya said you were in town, we expected to see you every day.

The girls kept asking about you.

- I'll get you something to eat. - No need, thanks.

Then I'll check on the girls. They've had trouble falling asleep lately.

She's worried.

It's those kidnappings. The whole city is tense.

That's why I'm here.

I'm disappearing for a couple of days.

Maybe longer.

I really want to find those kids.

You know,

when your mother died,

you didn't even cry.

I started drinking,

and you'd come up to me with such a calm look on your face.

It made me want to run away.

Varta, I was so ashamed back then!

Ashamed that you.

A 10-year-old girl, turned out to be stronger than me.

I'm still ashamed..

You'll find them.

Do you hear me?

You will find them.

HAPHEPHOBIA IS A RARE SPECIFIC PHOBIA

THAT INVOLVES THE FEAR OF TOUCHING OR OF BEING TOUCHED

OFTEN ASSOCIATED WITH A FEAR OF SEXUAL ASSAULT

- What are you doing? - Nothing.

We tracked down that number you gave me.

The signal disappeared 24 hours ago.

I'll email you the coordinates where it was last connected to the network.

Thanks.

Everyone out!

Move it, come on.

Face the wall.

Bags on the ground.

Personal belongings will be collected.

Can I keep the gloves?

No.

Let's say "experienced enough".

- Married? - Does it matter?

Little bitch!

- Guess what he gave me. - Flowers?

Who cares about flowers these days? No, a phone.

- No way! - He did. Latest model.

I hate you.

I think it'll happen tonight.

- And what about the little girl? - I'll figure something out.

That means...

Hold on, Oksana's mum's on the other line, I'll call you back.

Sure, OK.

- Hello? - Polina?

- Mrs Shvets, how are you? - How's everything there?

All good. The fever's gone.

Oksana's reading and I'm doing the washing. When will you be back?

My husband has a work do tonight. We won't be home till after midnight.

Polina, is that ok?

Sure, no problem. I just wanted to know...

- if I should put Oksana to bed. - Yes, please.

- And don't let her read too much. - Got it.

Please stay until we get home.

- See you! - Bye.

Get undressed.

Open your mouth.

Wider.

Hands behind your head. Squat.

Legs wide.

Enough.

Look straight ahead. Turn when I call your name.

Say your name, charges, sentence and previous job.

Larisa Makarova.

Sentenced to 5 years for burglary.

I used to work in a factory.

Sewing shop. Barrack 3.

Move!

Olga Sinitsyna. Sentenced to 3 years for theft.

- What did you do for a living? - Travel agency.

- Specifically? - I organised children's trips abroad.

Nursery. Barrack 1.

Come in.

Stop. This is your bunk. Sew your details on before lights-out.

Please, miss, can I get some tea before bedtime?

If you keep talking, you'll end up in solitary.

You're mean, miss.

Where are you from?

- I'm here by mistake. - Like all of us.

- What's your name? - Olga.

- What are you in for? - Theft.

Honest or dishonest?

I don't understand.

You will.

I'm Maria. My friends call me Mosya.

Hey, nanny, give her a needle.

It'll come in handy.

She's our lone wolf.

She stays detached. She doesn't join in with the family.

You decide, sister.

Either you're alone,

or you join our warm, friendly family.

I'll think it over.

You do that.

Think it over. This is a good place to think.

FROM VLAD: I'M ON MY WAY

- Oksana? - Yes?

I need to leave you for a while. Please don't tell your parents.

Don't worry.

Promise?

I swear.

- On what? - On Dickens' book.

- Come on, who swears on that! - What else? On a Barbie doll?

- Why not? - I don't play with dolls.

You're boring!

You're a nipple.

What?

I'll BE DOWNSTAIRS IN 10 MINUTES

Time to get out.

- If you need anything, call me. - Yes, madam.

And don't read too much. I'll be back very soon.

Hi.

Hi.

- Shall we go for a drive? - Sure.

We're outside the police station.

A video of the abducted children was posted online.

The whereabouts of the children is currently unknown.

The kidnapper has not made any demands.

The police have so far declined to comment.

If you have any information...

- Hi there. - Evening.

Please call the number below. You can remain anonymous and a reward...

Pasha, have you already been interviewed?

Reporters have been here since the morning.

Gorai's had a non-stop stream of visitors.

By the way, I figured out who posted the video.

Sergey Kipling.

That moron who wrote the article about Varta?

SERGEY KIPLING

Exactly.

I see.

I'm taking a walk.

Call me if there's any news.

I knew she'd forget something.

OKSANA

Emergency services, hello?

I can't hear you. Hello? Are you there?

Sergey Kipling?

Yes?

Major Shumov, Criminal Police.

And?

I have some questions.

Can I dry off?

Where did you get the video of the kidnapped children?

Submit a written request and I'll get back to you.

Dry off, get dressed and come with me to the station.

So you can tell me where you got the video

of the kidnapped children.

He gave it to me.

- Who, the kidnapper? - Yes.

- How did he contact you? - He didn't.

- He gave me the link. - And you decided to post it online.

Why shouldn't I?

I'm a journalist, it's what I do.

The city is going crazy and the police are doing nothing.

Children are going missing. The public has a right to know what's going on.

And I'm giving them the information.

Or has your "mother of the year" already found them?

Did you even think about the children?

Piece of shit.

Speaking.

Have you seen it?

- Who now? - Looks like a girl aged about 7.

- Also holding digits. - OK, who is she?

We only know her name, Oksana Shvets.

Her parents have already called it in.

I'm sending you the address of the hospital, the girl's nanny's there.

How did you two meet?

Social media.

He wrote to me first.

Then we talked on the phone. He seemed so sophisticated.

No spelling mistakes.

- Then he asked me out. - You called from this number?

Give it to me. Which one's his number?

Was there anything suspicious about him?

The person you are calling is unavailable. Please try again later.

Well?

Maybe his eyes were too sad.

Did he ask about your work and Oksana?

- No. - No?

He did say he noticed me when I was picking her up from school.

That's when he fell for me.

So he found me online.

OK. So you drove around in his car.

Was there anywhere specific you went or that he told you about?

No.

Does it hurt?

I feel a bit sick.

The doctors said I was attacked with a taser.

Yes, that's right. Can you remember what happened in the car?

I got in and we drove off.

Then I felt this sudden pain in my neck.

Really, I have no idea what happened.

I woke up somewhere on a child's swing.

Then I was brought here.

Is Oksana all right?

Are her parents mad at me? I left her alone.

Oksana's gone missing.

Did you talk to her? What did she say?

Polina was attacked by the kidnapper too.

- Can we do anything? - Maybe money.

I have one question. This might sound odd, but I need...

an honest answer.

Is Oksana your biological daughter?

What's that got to do with the kidnapping?

I can't tell you anything right now.

Yes, Oksana was adopted.

Thank you.

- Can we talk to her? - Of course, go ahead.
