You think a man is what he says,
Don't you Colonel?
He is, if you talks for a living.
A man is what he fights for.
Well, I don't fight for anything.
I know.
He is a doctor with a bad reputation,
if you know what that means.
It is as I suspected, Comrade,
it's fornication, I made some drawings.
Take them in.
You serious?
Take them in.
Why are we arresting so
many perfectly respectful doctors?
Because we've been told to.
You're told told to investigate them,
not necessarily to detain them..
The doctors who are party members
we detain them as briefly as possible.
The sexual deviances who are party members
we intend to keep a little longer.
This is arrogance.
- I will speak to the men about it, Comrade.
I will take care of it.
Why don't you investigate the
police men, Comrade Burakov?
Wouldn't you say that they know
murder than any other group?
Wouldn't you say that you yourself
will make a good suspect?
I know it's late, I'm sorry.
- I wasn't asleep.
Bondarchuk suspects the Cop, now.
Someone who knows how to
kill and get away with it.
I suppose it's a possibility.
The One he suspects is me ...
That's absurd.
- I'm afraid not.
You do not know what he is like.
Someone could come in the
night and take me away.
If you knew they would come
and take you on Friday,
What would you do different,
this week at work?
Nothing.
- Good. Eat.
Pathetic.
Where are you going all dressed up?
It's Saturday.
I have some work. A trip I have
to take for work. To make up for
something I failed to do
Why does that not surprise me?
I have some vodka in
my bag, would that do?
Use your hands, for God's sake.
Help me in here.
I'm Sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry ...
You Okay?
This almost had pissed him off.
A little respect for the dead!
within 200-yard of radius checked out,
fingerprints, fibers
and body fluids.
every can, every bottle, You understand me?.
If we gonna fail it won't
be because of something left undone.
you understand what
I'm saying, God damn it?!
- Rest assured, I will get them working.
Okay, Let's move out.
- Is he serious?
He's gone crazy.
- Keep moving.
If you see anything interesting,
You let me know.
Police, Citizen ...
- Chikatilo
May I have your bag?
Citizen Chikatilo, You're under arrest
I was on my way home.
I talk to the young people because
I used to be a teacher ...
I have rope and a knife in my bag
because I work in a factory ...
and often need them.
What do you think?
- Personally?
I don't think he's a Savage.
Well, How do I know?
I have some more paperwork to do. Stay
with him, okay?. Absolutely.
I have a suspect
What is it?
- The blood test came back negative
What?
Semen sample is of type AB
Chikatilo's is of type A
I don't believe it.
- It's true.
What you talking about is true?
What does that mean?
Our blood test is for 11
variables. The FBI is for 149.
How do you know that?
- I saw it in a movie!
What the hell difference does
it make what the blood test says,
You do not know what you're talking about.
Comarada Burakov!
Are you aware that your prisoner
is a member of the Communist Party?
Is he not aware that this man is a
Party member in good standing?
Are you or Are You not aware?!
Of course I am aware of it, that I'm a
detective, Remember?
You approved my appointment.
And you're holding him anyway?
- That is my right
After The blood test came back negative.
Who told you that?
- What difference does it make?
Did you tell him?
- What difference does it make?!
It makes a difference to me ...
Let him go
Now. ..
Let him go or suffer the consequences
Colonel!
Release Citizen Chikatilo.
Burakov Office.
No, not yet ...
It's strange. They force us not finding bodies,
than finding them.
At least this time, if we found another body,
we might have another chance to find
fingerprint, or a witness.
In this way, I would rather find
three at a time and none in a year.
Let's get out of here. Let's go to work.
What happened to the boy?
He is being held in the cell downstairs.
He is not connected to the murders ...
but he has given us a fascinating
little piece of gossip.
You Let him go.
- What?
You Let him go.
- Why?
Why not? Gave you a God damn gossip.
Why can't you just let him go.
I am Sorry.
Please show
some mercy.
He's a victim, not
a criminal. He's a child.
All right, Go ahead. But
don't get anyone else involved.
Thank you.
I'll do it myself ...
You can go in.
You'd rather find three
bodies than none ...
You'd rather find citizens dead,
If it would make your job easier.
Have you become that perverse?
- I do not think this is a
fruitful line of enquiry.
I do!
Viktor Vasilievitj Burakov,
You stand by statement that you
would rather find bodies than not?
Is this man crying?
Is this the man to whom we trust
the safety of our children? Crying?
Mrs.Burakov?
I am Mikhail Fetisov.
I have your husband here,
He is having a problem.
Yes, Yes, I know.
I have arranged for him to take a
vacation and a rest tour.
Can I persuade you to come and pick him up?
Replace him.
No.
What was that?
What did you say?
After five straight
years on the same assigment,
Lt. Burakov is taking
his first vacation
His job will be
waiting for him when he comes back.
Get out.
All of you! Right now!
If you ever again contradicts me in front ...
I have here ...
I do not care what you have!
Information ...
Who cares!.
From a 19 year old boy whom you
maintain in the town of Sakti!
In the apartment you have arranged for him
and the gifts which you have given him.
And the dates of your last
three over night visits!
If you attempt to fire Lieutenant
Burakov, now or at any time ...
I will send all this to your wife.
I Recommended you for this position.
- I'll always be indebted to you.
Colonel Fetisov stopped
by with a ham.
A whole ham? Where did he get a ham?
He's very well connected.
I bet he knows everyone in pork.
He is very proud of himself,
for defending you.
I think, he feels that,
he has finally earned your respect.
Has he?
Will you tell him when you go back to work?
I think it would mean a lot to him.
I knew, I could talk you into it.
Lieutenant Burakov, You're 10 days early.
- I feel much better.
I am glad. You haven't been home?
I came to see you first.
I want to thank you for taking care
of my family while I was away.
And for saving my job.
You were right by knowing which
skirmishes to ignore.
Not really. I have just,
when you spent enough time with the lion ...
the idea of roaring, starts becoming
more and more reasonable.
There is something I wanted to ask you about.
- What is it?
While I was away
I spoke to a psychiatrist.
I would like to bring one into the case.
Maybe you know someone from the Institute.
You are aware, I am sure that,
never in the history of the...
