- [ Man ] He's unavailable.

- Did you tell him it was me?

- I did.

- Who's with him?

- He can't be disturbed.

[ Tires Squealing ]

[Tires Squealing ]

[Engine Rewing]

[Electronic Beeping]

You can't go in there! No!

[Engine Stops ]

[Kostya's Father]

I did what you asked. You said you would help.

Go on to work. I'll tell you

what to do next tonight.

- Hello.

- Dont you worry about a thing.

Ever heard of knocking?

You might try it.

Oh, well, look who's here!

You know, for some reason,

I can't seem to get hold...

- of your girlfriend, what's her name.

- Rogova is dead.

Bastard!

You know who did it?

The man's gone totally insane.

Galina met with Gorodetsky.

Evidence is what we need

to prove it.

- You think-

- Now get some!

- All right, I-

- Go now!

Can I take the wheels?

[ Cawing ]

"GORSVET-

LIGHT AND POWER COMPANY"

[Anton Thinking]

Chalk of Fate.

Samarkand.

Tamerlane's tomb.

Samarkand. Select.

Username:
Anton.

Enter.

"ORDER COMPLETE"

[Dings, Beeps ]

"YOU'VE GOT N EW MAl L

FROM USER ZAVU LON"

"WE KNOW YOU WERE

AT THE ARCHIVES"

[ Reading ]

"Thanks. You've helped your son and the rest of us.

"Destroy the evidence right away.

And don't forget

it's Yegor's birthday. '"

"SYSTEM ERROR"

Ah.

[ Chuckles ]

Ready?

[ Both Grunting ]

Enough. What's the deal?

Have a bad night?

- Are my eyes red?

- Mm-hmm. Come on.

We are going to see Gesser.

- Why?

- Come on. Come on. Move. Move.

[Man ]

There is a major influx

of Dark Ones in the city.

Checking by districts, we're done

in Dimitrovka, Yaroslavka and Fili.

But, uh, in Bibirevo, uh,

we haven't, uh-

- we haven't gotten-

- Start.

a start yet.

No start yet. We simply don't have

enough men to cover it.

- How's it going?

- [Woman] Shh.

[Man ] There are just too many

of these Dark Ones gathering.

It's getting dark during the day.

They are getting ready

for something big.

[ Gesser]

Ilya, do you remember Galina Rogova?

- Rogova?

- Yes, Rogova.

My opinion is, um, she's dangerous.

- She could, uh, shatter the Truce.

- No, not anymore.

This morning Galina Rogova

was found dead.

She was discovered

in the hallway of her apartment.

There were no wounds anywhere.

Apparent cause of death:

total removal of life force.

[ Engine Revving ]

[ Tires Squealing]

Uh, all right, young lady,

use care now.

What's she called?

Mashenka.

Masha Rogova.

This man familiar?

Uh, no.

If you will allow it,

I am going to talk with Masha.

- Hello, Mashenka.

- Hi.

Oh, that's a nice turtle.

He's almost like a real one.

[ Sighs ]

Do you know who this is?

N- No.

Your mama is gone.

My mama is gone.

She went on a long trip.

[ Sniffles ]

Your mama didn't go anywhere, honey.

Your mama is dead.

What do you mean, dead?

[ Sighs ]

She's dead and gone.

Grandma! Grandma!

Ah, now what's the matter?

What is it, dear?

Grandma, Mama is dead.

Mama is dead and gone forever.

Oh, my poor darling angel.

Where did you hear that, huh?

The lady told me it was true.

What lady?

There's no one here.

Oh, my dear.

It was your mama, wasn't it?

She came to say good-bye.

The bottom line is that

we're being accused...

of a situation

which is... unfortunate.

A Light Other who either

doesn't know that there is a truce...

or worse, is ignoring it.

This is the state we find ourselves in.

Have a question?

No?

Thank you. You're all free to go,

except for Semyon, Olga...

Ilya... and Anton.

Thank you for the compliment,

Boris Ivanovich.

[ Chattering ]

I have to conduct

an inside investigation.

Write your reports.

Where you were that night and...

whether your alibis

can be confirmed or not.

Ha!

[ All Shouting ]

Can I have the ball?

Come on.

- What is your major?

- Biology.

Mm-hmm.

Not drinking human blood,

is that what you study?

You're really kind of cute.

Shame you're a vampire.

We might have been friends.

So you think we won't?

Okay, maybe.

Easy there.

Tell me a story.

Your friend next door,

he around lately?

Why do you say he's my friend?

- [Boy] Come on back!

- Hey, I really can't judge you.

- You can do whatever you want to do.

- Let's go!

You're a Dark Other.

You could even make friends

with Light Ones.

Thank you, miss.

Your humor's interesting.

[Boy]

You got the ball. Come on.

Last night, Galina Rogova

was killed at her home.

[Boys Chattering, Laughing]

What's that got to do with me?

Her daughter is five years old.

Kostya, we're waiting!

Come on!

I saw her last night

talking to Gorodetsky.

[Boy]

Give us the ball at least!

Thank you.

Kostya!

[ Laughs ]

"BORIS MOISEYEV"

[ Back Cracks ]

[ Cell Phone Rings ]

- What have you got?

- Last night she met Gorodetsky.

- How did you find that out?

- A witness.

Hmm. Vampire Junior.

How did you know that?

Why don't you come on over?

I miss you.

- [Woman On Intercom, Indistinct]

- [ Gesser]Send Gorodetsky in.

When they killed Rogova,

Gorodetsky was in the archive.

- Hmm.

- [ Olga ] Yes?

So he has an alibi.

- But he won't confess to it, and quite right.

- Mm-hmm.

And so we'll have no choice

but to turn him over to the Dark Ones.

What will they do with him?

I don't know,

but they won't get him alive.

- You've thought of something?

- [Knocking]

- Yes!

- [ Mosquito Buzzing ]

- Olga, have you seen the boss?

- Sit down.

Mmm.

I'm sorry, Olga.

I have to do this.

- [Anton ] What?

- I know you do.

Well, I don't.

But the problem-

[ Anton, Olga Gasping ]

[ Gasps ]

[ Coughing ]

[ Anton's Voice ]

Are you completely out of your mind?

[Gesser]

I'm sorry.

Anton, you never

would've agreed to it.

[ Olga's Voice ]

Anton.

It'll be all right.

[ Grunts ]

I need Gesser for a minute.

Get lost, you and Gesser.

Anton, no one gave you

permission to leave.

- What do we do with the voice?

- Not a problem.

[ Normal Voice ]

Should be working. Give it a try.

- [ Girl] Olga!

- Yes? Yes?

[ Normal Voice ]

Yes. Hmm. Great. Now I'm a tranny.

You don't like it?

How do you walk?

These are important details.

Anton, remember, I don't smoke.

- Look, you've smudged your makeup already.

- I'll manage.

Pay attention.

Nothing in your pockets.

That's why you carry a bag.

Another thing-

You're a woman now.

You need to keep your back straight.

Then why is my ass wiggling?

- [ Gesser] Reflex reactions.

- You!

Easy, easy, easy, easy, easy.

- Boris Ivanovich.

- Ilya, hello.

- See you later.

- I was trying to, uh-

- Nothing to worry about.

- Nothing.

- How long do I do this?

- Two or three days. Until we find the killer.

- So where do I stay?

- Work something out. Call one of the guys.

Hey, look, Semyon.

Semyon, hey, can I crash with you?

- Okay. Starting-

- Today.

- Oh.

- No, no, no. Forget it.

- Boris.

- Sorry.

- We could try Svetlana, eh?

- Good idea.

- What do I say?

- Say that Boris Ivanovich

has a snoring problem.

Hold on!

Do I snore?

To sum up...

you have all now

learned the technique...

of detecting objects

hidden from us behind a barrier.
