I was walking, when I heard the woman scream...
Excuse me. Hi Mish. Do you mind if we sit at your desk?
Good day.
Did you witness the crime?
I heard a woman's scream and saw a young man fleeing the scene.
But I can't say I saw a bag on him.
Solovjov! - How did you do it?
Let go of him! - How did you do it?
Solovjov, stop this! - How did you do it?

Doctor, how is he?
The straight skinny? - Yes.
Not very well. - The prognosis?
Bad. Machines are the only thing keeping him alive.
Without them he will perish quickly.
Doctor, could I... - You want a moment alone with him?
Yes.
For a few hours. Then you must leave.
Thanks. - No problem.
My head hurts.
We have informed your wife and she will be here shortly.
What wife? I'm not married.
Release me! Dammit!
Mihail Ivanovits. - You..
Mihail Ivanovits listen to me.
It's the year 1979. - Madness. Madness.
Mish, I'm trying to help you.
But you have to try and remember everything.
Otherwise they may not let you out.
You kept calling for Alisa through out the night. Who is she?
Madness, madness.
Mish, I didn't know how you...
Come home with me. I'll talk to the doctor.
Lil' Mish has been asking about you.
Let's start anew.
We'll go to Alpuka in October, just like before.
Mish, I love you.
Nothing's the same. I can't return.
Not yet, atleast.
Tell me about me. - I don't understand.
Why did father leave? What happened?
What do you know about Alisa?
You're disgusting. - Mom!
Hello.
How are you?
You're not real.
I made you up.
I don't know how I got here.
Even if I am just mad.
I will catch you.
When I'm out of the hospital. - You're not getting out! Understand?
You have a diagnosis to keep you hospitalized.
I made sure of that.
So, we are going to play.
The rules say that I go first.
No one may quit the game alone, so don't even try.
We can only leave together. How? I'll tell you later.
Rest up. I have work to do.
And I'll start with...
Nevermind. Let it be a surprise.
You're going to make it. We arrested the carrot top.
You try to get better.
Mihail! Mihail! - Out of the way! Don't interfere!
Mish.
Defibrillating. Clear!
Clear! Clear! Can you hear me?
Are you listening to me?
Are you listening to me? How are you feeling?
Easy! Easy! Don't try to get up.
You have been asleep for 24 hours.
Listen, could you procure me a copy of The Gulag Archipelago?
Send it to me from there?
No. It'd be impossible.
Good, Mihail, you aren't crazy.
I will release you tomorrow.
I will write your diagnosis as shock syndrome.
I'm opening the torniquets now. - Thanks, doc.
Don't you let me down, now.
I am recommending you take a vacation.
Just the feet, now. - Thanks, doc.
Hello. - Goodbye.
Goodbye, Katja. Work is done for the day.
See you tomorrow.
What used to be here? - An old cellar.
This used to be the village of Kalatsovka which was moved 20 years ago.
The paper was preserved in the bag.
Here, I think it belonged to the victim.
This is the direct number to our ward.
Doctor.. doctor.. - Mish, I asked you to..
I have to go right now. - Take it easy. Sit down.
Where? In the middle of the night. Where?
It's a matter of life and death. Right now.
Oh, god, what have I gotten myself into...
Okay. I'll arrange the paperwork. Wait here.
Your clothes will be brought here shortly.
What year is it now? - 1979.
Stop! What are you doing? Get your hands off him!
The bastard was going to kill you. - He's good. Stop this.
Good, huh? 30 years from now they would've found your body.
By a roadbuilding crew. And this little shit would still be free.
I know her from the hospital! I was just saying hi! - Poor Gena.
Who are you? I apologize. - He hasn't done anything wrong.
I screamed because I was on edge from being followed.
And then Gena surprised me. Easy. Easy.
Who followed you? - I don't know.
I didn't see, but he was standing there in the bushes.
Wait here, I'll be right back!
He left? - He left.
He was scared.
That was embarassing.
Did you see the other one? - Nuhhuh.
Who was it? Was it a criminal?
How can I put this..
You have been reborn this night.
Why me? I've never hurt anyone.
I have no money either, I'm just a nurse.
Though, I do have this from my grandmother.
Is it because of this?
No. That isn't what he wants.
I was going to study to become a doctor.
I was getting my life in order.
You will catch him, wont you?
Mihail? Mish, can you hear me? It's me, Dronov.
Thank you. Thank you for saving my life.
Without the vest I... - Andrei lives.
You just hang in there. - I did it.
Mish, hang in there. - I did it.
Mish, we caught the carrot top. - Andrei lives.
Mish, can you hear me? Mish?
You will live.
We can change the future. I know that now.
You will be a doctor, Jekaterina Ivanovna.
Where's the x-ray? - On the table, Jekaterina Ivanovna.
Please, leave. You are in the way. - Sure, excuse me.
What... what is his name?
Solovjov. Mihail Solovjov.
Are you feeling alright? - Leave us, nurse.
Mish. Mish darling.
Comrade Solovjov. Comrade Solovjov.
Comrade Solovjov.
Did you spend the whole night here?
I would've invited you in if I had known.
Unnecessary.
My aunt, Irina Andrejevna, is going to walk me to the bus stop.
Are you moving?
Coming here every night is scary.
I've decided to move into my parents apartment in the city.
I'll give you a ride. - My aunt is walking me.
I'm heading there anyway. Get in.
Thank you. - It was my pleasure.
I can carry these up unless you're afraid of your parents seeing me?
My parents died in a car accident two years ago.
I live with my aunt because everything here reminds me of them.
I'm sorry. - It's okay. Shall we?
Come inside.
Thank you very much. - No problem.
Do you have a needle and thread? - What for?
My epaulets need sewing.
I can help you. - Fine. I'll go grab my coat from the car.
Jekaterina Ivanovna, do you know this man?
Not him, his father.
You need to be careful. Avoid deserted places.
Don't open the door for anybody. I'll stop by tonight.
Three short and a long buzz.
How can this happen here?
This could happen anywhere. The man is a lunatic.
Do you think you'll catch him? - Thanks. I think so.
Good day.
Why did they let you out?
Shock syndrome. Can you imagine?
I'm sorry if I caused you trouble.
Kotov has the doctor's certificate. I'm fine now.
I'll be needing the name and address of that ginger from yesterday.
I wish to apologize to him.
You almost killed him. Is it a good idea?
Address and name. Obey your superior.
The report. - Yes, sir.
We have a lunatic in our department. That's how far we've fallen.
Zolobov, did I fuck your wife? - Sorry?
Then leave me alone, understand?
Igor, where's the report? - I don't know. You're the one who wrote it.
All the other documents are here, but the report is missing.
Why do you need it?
He knew nothing, saw no robbers. Why did he even bother?
First or last name? Address? Is there anything you remember?
It might've been Dronov...
Yes! Dronov Andrei Vladimirovits.
Just you wait, carrot top.
Solovjov, when are you gonna pay me back that tenner?
Prjahin, leave him alone. What is that book?
A fantasy novel. I found it in the trash.
I wanted some Simenon but got this instead.
It's about a person who gets transported to a different time.
The protagonist gets stuck in the past in someone else's body.
His father's? - What?
Is it his father's body?
Not his father's. Some terrifying serial killer's body.
Let me see that. - Nope. After you've paid.
Yes? Yes, comrade major.
I'll be right over.
Excuse me, but what organ does a person have here?
The kidneys are there. - Thank you.
...the area of the left kidney.
Alright, captain Solovjov, explain yourself.
I thought he was someone else.
Who? - A criminal.
Young man, please, excuse us for a moment.
I'm sorry.
I'll have to speak to the doctor that realeased you from the nuttery.
You need to end this craziness.
We were in luck that he came to us. What if he'd gone to the DA?
I thought he was a criminal, a serial killer who strangles or stabs women.
If something like that had happened, I'd know about it.
But I don't know.
Yes? Kotov.
How did you know, Solovjov? - Too late.
Girl, about 20, with stabwounds in the abdomen and signs of strangulation.
Fool, go set up the barricades.
How did you know, Solovjov? -The women found her and called us.
The doctor figured that she was still alive but seriously injured.
She was taken to the ICU.
Did she say anything? - She was in no condition to speak.
Do you know who she is?
She had no ID and nobody here knew her.
Has anyone else been to the crimescene?
The inhabitants have passed through here, as well as me and the doctor.
Understood. Dubtsenko, interview the neighbors with the patrolmen.
Zolobov, I saw civilians by the front door, talk to them.
On it.
What do you think, Prjahin?
Judging by the amount of blood and the type of injuries -
I'd say the incident took place about 12 hours ago.
So, just around midnight, right?
Comrade Solovjov, spill the beans. Where'd you hear about the killer?
Solovjov, are you deaf?
I overheard two cops talking. - Who?
Two senior officers, by chance.
You better not be lying, hear me? - Loud and clear.
Good.
So, the man started to strangle her and she tried to run.
And the man then stabbed her, agree?
No. The other way around.
He's afraid of failing and that's why he stabs first.
Not killing the victims but disabling them.
Only then he strangles them. - How do you know this?
Were you here? Did you witness this?
No. It's called profiling. It's an investigational method.
Listen up, Solovjov, here's another idea.
First get me the evidence and then craft your tales.
Understand? - Loud and clear.
I'm gonna find a phonebooth and call the hospital.
Get to work! - We're already working our asses off.
Can the future be changed from the past?
In the book, anything's possible.
You know, if someone would've told little me, -
Little Prjahin, not to study criminal investigation,
He would've never enlisted in the militia.
And he would've become a cook instead of an investigator.
Did you find something? - A cook.
This pendant was all I found.
A woman's, likely the victims. The strangler likely broke it, right?
Where do you think the rest of it went?
Someone stole it. It's precious. - You can tell from that?
This is precious Austrian jewelry. - Imported stuff.
I didn't know you knew about jewelry, Solovjov?
Only generally.
For some reason you always seem to know more than your superiors.
We need to find the missing chain.
What's wrong with your eyes? - They're fine.
No. They're weird. Did they feed you drugs yesterday?
Take the pendant and visit the victim.
Can you hear me?
- Yes.
Then get to work.
Misha! Mish!
Hello dad.
Hey Mish. I need to have a talk with you.
The period's about to end and I better not be late.
So, how about after school?
I don't have time later, we need to talk now.
Will you come home today?
Come home? I don't think I can.
Make up with mom, she'll forgive you.
Let's talk about that later.
No. This is the most impertinent matter.
Aren't you quite bullheaded? - I get that from you, dad.
Okay. Tell me what you are going to be when you grow up?
An officer like you. - No you're not.
Why? - Because...
Because it's a harsh job that will sap all your life.
You won't have time for a family or a son. Get it?
You help people, it's an important job.
I want to be important, too.
There are many other important jobs.
Doctor, teacher, builder, janitor... What ever.
I want to be like you!
Promise me you wont be a militia officer.
Promise me, and keep your promise. - I'll think about it.
Promise me! - I'll think about it.
Why a girl? I don't remember a case like this.
A guy knifed at a dance or a scoundrel at a cafeteria, sure...
But a girl...
Did she have a bag? - That's everything she had.
Did she have jewelry? - What kind?
With gemstones? Crystals?
I'll have to ask the EMTs, though it's probably pointless.
Ask them.
Learn anything in the hospital?
The victim is still unconscious and in the ER.
You see her belongings? - Three rubles and old tickets.
Did you find our jewel? - No.
We'll not forget the jewel but let it go for now, okay?
Ask Dubtsenko which houses he's gone through already -
And continue the usual routine from there.
Yes, sir.
I have a secret. - What?
I said it's a secret.
Show me. - No, it's a secret.
Show and then hide it again.
Hi, girls. What's that you got there?
I didn't do it.
Where'd you get this? - I found it uncle-officer.
When? - When I came here.
Today? - Yes.
Alisa, get inside!
Why would he discard this?
He came from there, but where'd he go?
Good day. - Good day, captain.
Do you have a man stationed here at night? - Sometimes.
Was someone here last night?
Greetings. - Hello.
Were you here last night? - Mostly.
Did you see a car leave here around midnight?
I didn't, I had a client arrive just then.
What was the client like?
A kid with a foreign t-shirt.
He kept silent most of the drive, I pegged him for a foreigner.
Only at the end he started giving directions.
Could you show me where you took him?
Hop in.
I dropped him off right here. I'm sure of it.
It's true, comrade officer. I saw him.
What are you gawking?
I always keep an eye on who's living large enough to take a cab.
And who is that? - A kid living in apartment 45.
His parents work abroad and he leads an immoral life here.
I'm ashamed for him.
I get it.
How much do I owe you?
Nothing. I'm always ready to help on important matters.
Who is it?
Do you remember me? I brought you home last night.
I remember. What is it? - You left this in the car.
It looks expensive and I didn't want to keep it.
Here. - Where'd you find it?
So, you recognize it's yours.
If you're smart, this will be a short and pleasant chat.
You have no right to do this.
Do you know who my grandpa is? I'll get you fired.
They all say that, but here I still am.
What are you doing? Spit it out?
What is this? What are you doing?
Is this counterfeit? I can't tell.
Did you watermark these yourself?
What's wrong with this?
Is it a vitamin deficiency?
Very good, it's better to chat with a full stomach.
Why'd you stab that girl? - What girl? What are you talking about?
The owner of this pendant.
Marina? - Marina.
Something happened to Marina?
Silence doesn't pay.
The conviction will be longer and it'll weigh on your conscience.
Why would I be convicted? I didn't stab Marina! I didn't!
You forgot?
You'll be sorry once grandpa hears of this. - Tell me more.
You'll be on your knees before your superiors. Understand?
I guarantee it. Apologizing to me. - Really?
Yes. - Then I'll apologize right away.
Asshole, I'm gonna..
What's going on, Solovjov? - He fell off his chair.
He lies and he acts like the gestapo!
Calm down! - Sit down.
Hello.
Milovanova died.
Marina.
He took a cab off the crimescene last night. I spoke to the driver.
He left this behind. - Uhhuh.
It wasn't me. It wasn't me. It wasn't me.
You're gonna tell me everything, now. For the report.
Dubtsenko.
Last, first and middle name? - Trofimov, Karl Vladimirovits.
What happened last night? Who's that girl?
I met Marina in the circles. I don't know anything else.
How can you not know? - We've only known for two weeks.
What else? - She was pretty but dumb.
She didn't want to go to restaurants or expensive gifts.
I had to lie about that, too, that it was cheap.
She was studying geology, wanted to feed the bugs in the tundra.
You're a bug! - Dubtsenko!
Why'd you... What happened last night?
She invited me to a poetry night in Tvortsky street. Rozdestvensk or something.
Robert? - Robert. Yes, Robert.
I got upset and she left. - Did you follow her?
I followed. - And then?
I got upset again and I tore the pendant.
She started crying. And I took a cab. Ok?
I know nothing else. Ok? - Well, Solovjov, anything to add?
He mistreated me. - I wasn't asking you! Understand me?
Why are you protecting him? You'll be sorry when my grandpa arrives.
He didn't overthrow the powers so that you could...
Shut up!
Solovjov, how'd the arrest go? Was he as brave during that?
He was obnoxious, didn't believe we'd find him this fast.
And he ate dollars for some reason.
Really? What dollars?
What dollars? - What dollars?
I don't know.
He ate a hundred bucks that was lying on a table. I couldn't stop him.
So, you witnessed... as this snotnose...
Ate a minimum two year sentence in a prison camp.
And you just watched?
There was a witness!
He saw me leave and he saw her stay behind.
Who? - A bozo sitting on the bench.
What bozo? - Ginger. Ginger bozo.
Ginger, what else? - Black clothes.
Or dark. It was night, you know, they looked back. That's all I know.
What? Solovjov!
Are you looking for something?
Nothing. Excuse me. - It's okay.
There you are, Solovjov! I was looking for you back at the station.
They might've found the car that hit you.
Care to take a look?
It might not be the right car.
