Soviet Union

As a Psychiatrist ...

been brought into a murder case.

- I know. You will be the first ...

to make history.

What? - Did you just come in here and

go out of your way to make me feel good ...

and ask me for something?

My God, You are learning

how to manipulate people.

I've created a monster.

What about the psychiatrist?

- I'll see what I can do. All right?

Thank you. - Now you wants to go

home or prefer to stay here?

Come In.

Colonel is ...

Okay.

There is another body in the woods.

Your timing is impeccable.

- I'm ready.

What's that about?

He likes to examine the terrain a little before

rest of us get in there

and stomp around much.

- That's smart.

It doesn't do too much damage. So you

would say that he's a good detective?

I will say that I never worked

with anyone as good. Excuse me.

Can I explain about the evidence?

We start with any physical evidence on

or adjacent to the body ...

Make a cast of this?

I'll have it to you by six.

I know it is irregular,

but I hope one or two of you,

would be interested enough in what

we said today to get involved.

If you are, Please Stay. Thank you.

It's embarrassing to see grown men

run from their responsibilities.

It's like seeing your parents

drunk for the first time.

They're afraid. To be a

Psychiatrist in this country ...

is to be an expert for

paranoia, whether you meant to be or not.

Why are you frightened?

I am Sorry.

Do I look like a man of courage to you?

I am Bukhanovsky.

Well I was always been interested

in abnormal psychology.

Which is a dangerous thing

in the Soviet state.

Anyway, I was fascinated by the pattern

of disfigurement you described.

I would like to try to help, but discreetly.

I would like to think about it for a while.

Then write my ideas down

If I have it and then send it along.

Is that will be all right?

- Good..

I would like to be as cautious as possible

not to risk my career.

My God, being a hero is enormously

taxing and I've only been doing

it only for 7 or 8 minutes ...

and already I feel strangely enervated.

You ...

What is it?

- You must live with a great deal of pressure.

It's all right, now you know?

What is it?

The slaughter and all these horrors,

It reveals the monster which

we all have in our selves.

PLEASE READ THIS.

M. FETIZOV.

CITIZEN 'X'

by Bukhanovsky.

I read the whole thing last night.

It is very intuitive, well-defended.

There is little chace of that he is

homosexual. A man with a wife and kids.

And the sexual problem.

And maybe a job working with young kids ...

a worker in a chidrens home or can be a teacher.

We will had to have someone

go through these kind of files again.

This is interesting speculation,

but certainly

not good enough, to persuade me to change

the goals of the investigation.

Not the goals, Comrade.

Just the methods.

But just continue

arresting the homosexuals ...

it may not be directly contributing

to the resolution of the case.

But we will still be doing

the society a service.

Under the new policy of perstroika.

Soviet leaders have agreed yesterday

to surrender the partys

The American President

George Bush congratulated ...

The President, for his commitment to

democratic reform ...

and to ensure him that the hopes of the

American people are with us

as we chart the new course

of the Soviet state.

Thank you.

- Will it change things?

I don't know yet. I was on the

telephone since midnight.

Just keep the attitude alright and we'll see.

Can you get him for me?

We've to talk. Not

now, tomorrow, in the office.

Why? What is it?

- Tomorrow morning.

Don't make me suffer Colonel.

There will be a new Head of the Investigation

by tomorrow morning,

Come to the committee room at eight and

We'll meet him together.

Who is it? - It is not decided yet.

I'm flying to Moscow right now ...

to see if I can influence their

decision. That's why I stopped to tell you.

Don't start worrying yet.

Have I ever let you down?

Thank you so much for your support.

I'll see you tomorrow morning.

Good luck!

Where are they?.

- Who?

The committee.

We're it.

Who is the new head of Investigation?

- You.

Congratulations, Colonel.

- Actually, I'm a General now.

I don't have my insignia yet,

but they're on order.

Congratulations General.

You're a Colonel.

Congratulations Colonel.

Now, Sit down, let us get started.

I am now the prefect of the militia for the

entire operation. Reporting only to Moscow.

I can allocate my forces anywhere

I see fit, and I'm considering

this case, my highest priority.

If you need men, you need publicity,

you need communications. You have it.

I bought these in Moscow yesterday,

they are fantastic.

You have a telephone appointment

tonight at midnight

to speak with the Head of the

FBI ...

Serial Murderer Task Force

Special Agent Beckford.

He told me late last night, that he has been

following your work on this case with

great interest for about five years ...

I didn't ask him how.

He considers you as a

man of iron will.

For what it is worth, I agree with him

He also told me that he rotates his people

of the Serial Murderers cases ...

every 18 months, whether they like it or not ...

to prevent the inevitable psychological

consequences of too much frustration.

I pretended that I had known that all along.

He thinks that I pushed you ...

and pushed you in search of your limits.

Until I realized that you hadn't have any.

Privately I offer my deepest

apologies to you and your wife.

I hope that someday you can forgive

me my ignorance. Anyway ...

he suggested that I will not tell you this

but ... He said that he starts a new ...

group of recruits through the

program every 16 weeks.

And the first lecture that he gives,

It's always about you.

He calls you "The one man in the world

he would least like to have after him "

"An Intelligent, Methodical, Painstaking,

Passionate detective, who would

rather die than

give up "

Again, I agree.

Colonel Burakov ...

I'm Sorry, you may go.

I have a plan.

I've been thinking about it for a long time.

We intend to have a visible uniform

presence 24 hours a day ...

in every single train station

within 50 miles of Rostov.

Every station, except three.

The three smaller stations of the

Matievs line in the Katma forest.

There we will have only

under cover men.

That's where we want him

to make his next ...

attempt to kill

one of our children.

In order for this plan to work,

we need you to do a job.

We need you to accost anyone

who stops to talk to a child or a young woman.

Anyone who stops to

talk to any stranger at all.

We need to demand their

identity cards.

and ask their business and take down

their answers in your note books

We need to search them.

And above all,

we need to do this visibly.

We need everyone in the

station to notice.

Understand?

What you said, I didn't hear that.

- Yes, Comrade General.
