DETECTIVE ANNA

THE ADEPTS EPISODE 52

Is that her?

Yes, sir. She’s been doing her chores since morning.

Now they are going to have lunch.

I need to come closer to see her with my own eyes.

- Do they have a dog? - No, sir.

- My darling! - Nina. I expected you earlier.

I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Did you miss me?

I did, I missed you so much.

Let’s go for a walk. When was the last time you went out?

- Yesterday. - Yesterday! You work too much.

- I have lots of work. - What is it?

I know it’s a secret. But there will be no secrets when we start working together.

Nina, I talked to the garrison commander.

He said it will be secret when you’re my wife, too.

- Do you mean we won’t work together? - Sorry.

My work is very secret and important.

Nobody can know. Even the wife.

Is it that important to you?

No, no. I just wanted to be with you always.

You will be. You will be in the house. House chores, family bliss.

I’ll come and hug you,

and we’ll talk about everything... except my work.

It sounds so good.

What? You not marry me now?

“Will not marry me.”

No, of course I’ll marry you. Of course.

Do you want me to work with you?

Yes, of course. But it is impossible

Possible, really, it's possible.

You’ll see. I'll be a very reliable assistant.

- But why do you want it so much? - Because I love you.

I can’t wait any longer. Let’s go to the bedroom.

Nina, we can’t do it until we get married.

We can. We won’t tell anyone. It will be our little secret.

- Nina. - Please.

- Nina. - Come with me.

- Anna Viktorovna. - I’ve been waiting for you.

Come into my office.

How odd. I went outside today and realized I had nowhere to go,

except for the police station.

You look strange today. Enlightened or something.

Did you recall what happened to you today?

No. I only remember some bits and pieces.

I remember a house, the cemetery, and you.

- I still feel a little euphoric. - Maybe they gave you something to drink.

No. I believe it was hypnosis.

I’d recognize that man if I saw him again.

- But I can’t give you a description. - What about the house and the cemetery?

The cemetery...

I was digging up the grave, and a living man jumped out of it.

You said yesterday there were people with torches.

Yes. Torches. There were many.

And then that man jumped out of a coffin.

- Are you certain? - About what?

That it actually happened. You might have had a vision or maybe a dream.

Sometimes your judgment leaves much to be desired.

Don’t you see that horrible things are going on in this town?

A gang is killing beggars. I saw them.

I have to agree. Strangers with torches. Other witnesses mentioned them, too.

Serafim! He told me to go to the cemetery yesterday.

They killed him, too. Yes.

Serfaim.

The pennywhistle peddler.

Can you show me that place?

I suppose so. If not, Serafim will show us.

- Where now? - That way.

Serafim. Serafim, show me the way to that grave.

What was that?

The wind.

Nikolay Vasilyevich! Why don’t they let me see you?

- I gave an order. - Why do you treat me like this?

Because of your actions, Mr. Riabushinsky. I’d put you there for your articles.

I wonder what the censor committee thinks about it.

I’d gladly argue with you under other circumstances.

What?

Nikolay Vasilyevich, this isn’t why I’m here.

- I came to file a complaint. Here. - What is this?

A request to start investigation against lawyer Mironov.

What investigation?

Lawyer Mironov assaulted me at the pub, in front of numerous witnesses.

- Did he, really? - Yes.

It must be because of your libel on his daughter.

I only publish the truth in my newspaper.

Shame on you, Riabushinsky. You accuse Mironova of some devilry,

and in today’s issue you write about some walking dead.

Let me explain. The cemetery caretaker says

a dead man escaped from his grave yesterday.

He saw him and the empty grave, too.

Riabushinsky, you’re lying without scruples.

What did I say? The police is investigating it.

Unlike you, the police doesn’t deal with such nonsense. What is it?

Your High Nobleness, the cabman we’ve been looking for was found dead.

Where is Shtolman?

He went to the cemetery with Anna Mironova.

Here. This is the place where he attacked me.

Looks like a ritual.

He didn’t like me digging him out yesterday. He yelled at me.

He said I interrupted his ordeal.

Maybe he was not a victim but a participant of the ritual.

This is how he breathed.

Now I see why he tried to strangle me.

Your High Nobleness, they found him! The cabman you ordered to find.

He was killed. The carriage is waiting at the entrance.

Let’s go. Anna Viktorovna, we’ll drive you home.

No, I won’t come with you.

It’s a short walk to my house through the cemetery.

Anna Viktorovna, I’d feel better if you came with me.

Come on.

Now she knows your face.

It was dark. She couldn’t have had a good look.

- Are you sure? - Naturally.

Good. Did you have a good look, though? Are you sure it was Mironova?

Yes, it was her.

I didn’t recognize her at once because of the rags she was wearing.

- I even tried to correct the mistake. - What do you mean?

Since the burial ritual failed, I decided to conduct a ritual killing.

What? Were you going to kill her?

I told her I hadn’t recognize her. Only when I started strangling her.

Was I looking for a person with her gift for all my life

for some idiot to strangle her?

She is the reason we are here. Do you realize it?

I told you I hadn’t recognize her.

When I did, she hit me on the head with a rock.

She is alive.

You have twice jeopardized our cause,

the reason for the Adepts’ existence.

Are you crazy?

It’s not my fault she came to the cemetery.

By the way, she saw you, too.

Don't you worry about us.

- You're to blame. - Yes, I’m guilty.

I’m ready to receive any punishment.

Kill the chief of the police, for example.

Is he an idiot?

Get out of here and don’t leave your house.

You’ll get your punishment at the evening meeting. Get out.

Yes, sir.

Where did you find this idiot?

They are all like this in this neck of the woods.

He donated 3,000, though.

What shall we do about Mironova? Do you want me to get her here?

Let’s wait. She’ll find us herself.

He had been hiding since yesterday. He didn’t come home, and now...

Yakov Platonovich, this is quite simple. He was stabbed in the liver.

The poor guy didn’t suffer for long.

- Have you searched his pockets? - Yes, sir.

Here.

“Two barrels of shotgun pellets. 180 bullets. Gun oil.”

Address: 5, Razyezzhaya Street.

There is only one arms shop in town, isn’t it? In Zarechenskaya.

- As far as I know, yes. - This says, “Razyezzhaya, 5.”

Razyezzhaya, 5.

- Hello. - Hello.

It’s the abandoned house where Madame De Beau was killed.

That’s right.

I heard some rich philanthropist from out of town

was going to turn it into an English Club.

What is his name?

It wasn’t disclosed. But I will find out.

Thank you for doing us a favor. Just don’t go in.

A favor for a favor, Yakov Platonovich. Two questions.

What did you find at the cemetery and where is Anna Mironova?

If you publish another word about Anna Viktorovna, I will...

Kill me? Get in line. You’re not the only one.

Get out of here before I get out of line.

All right, all right.

Come on, Doctor. Send the body to the morgue.

Anna Viktorovna.

You’re back.

I know you, but I don’t remember you. Is it possible?

Everything is possible in this world. Come with me.

Where to?

What do you mean? To that other universe you’re so eager to see.

I don’t want to.

It will pass. It’s your inner slave talking.

Everyone has an inner slave and a killer.

I’m not a killer.

Anna Viktorovna, do you have a maid?

Yes. But it’s different.

She gets paid. I have known her and loved her for years.

That’s what you think.

But she can’t leave you, she can’t ask to raise her pay,

can’t complain to anyone or disagree with you on something.

She is your slave, and you own her.

But, unknown for you, you are guided by an even bigger force.

Admit it: there is something that has an unlimited power over you.

Yes. Probably.

Run, run, run!

Run, run, run!

All right.

Come on, Anna. Let’s go. Through that door.

I’ve been going through your list of arms collectors,

but all in vain.

Nobody has a Bruswick rifle like the one we’re looking for.

I’m sorry, but I gave you no guarantees. It was just a suggestion.

Yes. I’m not going to fight you on this. Of course.

Can I give it a try?

Of course. Right here, at my range.

- You’ve caught a cold. - Yes. I knew I’d get a cold.

You got it because you knew you would. It’s just your fears.

Nonsense. I’m not afraid of anything.

My inner freedom has almost reached perfection,

and you are just jealous.

What freedom are you talking about if you even failed the grave ordeal?

- It was all because of her. - Speak of her with respect.

By the way, if she didn’t dig you up, you wouldn’t be here now.

I caught a cold because she had dug me up.

If I had stayed there till dawn as I should have, I’d never fell ill again.

Of course.

Was this schoolgirl supposed to become our lady?

Shut up, idiot. Don’t you dare speak about Anna Viktorovna like this.

Send messengers to all members of the order for an urgent meeting.

We are having an initiation rite today. We’ll finally have a mistress.

What are you waiting for? Move it!

That’s it. You are with us again, my dear Anna.

I’m happy.

I can’t wait for you to stay with us forever.

- Explain yourself. - Gladly.

You see, dear Anna, we are living in a weird world.

A layman can’t imagine in his wildest fantasies

what’s going on right under his nose.

A common man lives in his small world, while the really great ones are

able to live in the reality of their choosing.

- There are billions of worlds. - I know.

Yes. That’s why you are with us.

Looking for something, Anton Andreyevich?

No. I’m just adjusting my sights.

It’s important for a shooter.

Yes.

I can’t wait.

Here.

- Great. - Wait. I have some fresh ones.

Could you step aside so that I don’t hit you?

Yes.

It’s better than I expected. I’m surprised. It’s my first time. Thank you.

Congratulations, young man. Congratulations.

Your mistake, Mr. Zakrievskiy.

- Mr. Zakrievskiy. - Hush! Don’t shout.

A message for you.

- Here. - Thank you sir.

“Come immediately to the known place, properly dressed and with the weapon.”

Mr. Korobeynikov, looks like I won.

I admire your experience, but please allow me a rematch. One more time?

All right. Change the target. I’m your senior, after all.

Mr. Zakrevskiy. Drop the gun.

Don’t do anything stupid, Anton Andreyevich.

Listen to your seniors. Anton Andreyevich.

Two revolvers against one gun. This game isn’t for you.

One revolver.

I’m out of play.

Yakov Platonovich, please put the gun down and stand next to your sidekick.

Don’t attempt to be a hero. I won’t miss.

You shouldn’t have put the bullet in the pocket, Anton Andreyevich.

I’ll have to...

The Lucifer’s Adepts Order was created

to find a way to the other side of the veil.

I’m the Order’s magister,

but I have to confess that I still don’t know the way.

We dance on the graves, bring sacrifices, perform rituals, kill people,

but Lucifer wouldn’t reveal himself to us.

I think that’s because we don’t have your gift, Anna Viktorovna.

Only the hypnosis.

The rumors of you have reached me.

I have examined all evidences of your gift

and realized that you actually knew the way to the other side.

You do have access to the next world, Anna Viktorovna. Join us.

Be our archpriestess, Our Lady.

Together, we’ll gain unprecedented power.

No.

Easy, easy. Quiet.

Here. This is where I found the short gun bullets. I’ll get the camera.

We need to make a couple shots. I’ll also bring the kit for the ballistics test.

- Come back soon, Anton Andreyevich. - Of course.

- Nice boy. - He is.

Do you prefer bad ones? Or those brainwashed and able to kill?

What do you know?

Decided to play with the devil in your old age?

What is going on in Razyezzhaya? Is it a shrine for Black mass?

Why all these aimless murders? What is your mission?

The good never wins.

Any objective mind can see that the evil prevails.

It’s a cannibal’s theory.

You wouldn’t understand.

Your friend Mironova probably does.

I wonder why her mysticism haven’t rubbed on you.

It must be your narrow-mindedness.

How did you manage to force young people to kill so violently?

They have lots of arrogance and not enough smartness.

They can’t learn how to shoot, no matter how I try.

Is that why you were backing them up with your rifle?

By the way, why short rifle?

One shot. Either kill or be killed. Like on a duel.

What is today’s meeting about?

That’s it.

You can’t stop them now. Do you know why?

Because she has come already.

Everyone is here, Anna Viktorovna.

Get on your feet.

You’re ready.

Bring in the offering.

- Is everybody here? - The Shooter hasn’t come yet.

We’ll start without him.

Brothers. Adepts, I present to you Our Lady Anna,

the reason why we’re here.

With her joining us, the Order’s potential becomes limitless.

Her ability to talk to the dead will bring force and power to our Order.

Hello. What can I do for you?

- I was invited here. - Excuse me, I don’t know you.

Why are you dressed like this, brother?

- Come in, sir, before something happens. - I’m from the police. Detective Shtolman.

- What do you want, Mr. Shtolman? - I’m looking for Miss Mironova.

- She isn’t here. - Isn’t she? I was told she is.

It’s a mistake. This is a private club. Women are not admitted.

I need to look for myself.

Only if you have a warrant from the prosecutor.

Actually, I do. Hold this for me.

Easy, easy.

We are performing the initiation rite for Our Lady.

The blood offering will tie Anna and us with sacred blood.

- Are you ready to be punished, brother? - Yes, Magister.

Lucifer, accept our offering.

Shooter, you’re late.

Be Our Lady.

Back off!

Mr. Shtolman.

Drop the gun.

Gun on the floor, I said.

Get him.

Anna Viktorovna! Are you all right?

Yakov Platonovich, what happened to me? Where are we?

I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. I failed to protect you.

No, I’m sorry. It’s my fault.

Funny... We are finally alone, you and I. But who is going to get us out of here?

Can you get up?

Let’s try.

Do you have an idea?

Let’s circle the wagons.

Now what?

Call for backup. Napoleon, Kutuzov, Alexander the Great - everybody.

We need to run!

We need to run!

Where to, percy pants? This copper saw our faces.

Sooner or later he’ll find out the club is registered on your name.

What were you thinking about when you started all this?

If not for the copper, we would tie her to us with blood, and everything would...

All right, but what do we do now? Right now?

Kill the detective. I’ll take care of Anna.

Don’t be shy.

What are they waiting for?

It’s not that easy to bring oneself to kill a police officer.

They won’t hurt you. They need you for other diabolic things.

- Is this what I came to this world for? - That’s what they think.

- What do you think? - I think...

I wanted to say that I’m happy.

This might be the end, but I’m happy to have known you.

This isn’t the end.

I’m sorry. I'm such an idiot. Being around you for all this time and wasting it all.

Help me! What are you waiting for?

Did I have to get stuck here to hear it from you?

If you escape, please know that Alice is alive. She’s hiding at Dr. Milts’s.

Don’t move. Don’t move. Yakov Platonovich, Anna Viktorovna.

Where is the Magister?

I don’t know. There is no one there. Only the two bodies.

- Untie us. - Yes.

There was another man here. Find him! Don’t let him escape.

Are you hurt? What happened here?

A battle against Lucifer.

Colonel Lawrence. I didn’t summon you.

THE ADEPTS
