You are not jealous, are you?

I am telling you, it's just a friend.

Want me to get her on the phone?

Lena!

Cloth ears. She can't hear me.

No need to call anyone.

I am not jealous...

Imagine that today...

...is not the 13th

but the 31st of December.

Tomorrow is New Year.

I want to wish you happiness.

To your new beginnings...

We are not breaking up

over the phone.

Why not?

We've been through

this tens of times.

Breaking up, getting back together.

Arthur, you had a hard day. You don't

know what you are talking about.

Let's talk about it later?

I don't want to talk

about anything later.

I don't want to talk to you at all.

I've heard this a thousand times.

We are together only when things

are good, don't you see?

And what's wrong with that?

Bye, Ksenia!

Bye, Arthur!

Call me when you sleep it off.

Yes?

- What's this number you sent me?

- Call and find out.

Jump off the balcony and I'll call

whoever you like.

Your husband is alive.

That's his number.

If you don't believe me, call him.

It's Lisa. How are you holding on?

Fine. Did you make it

to the birthday party?

Yes.

Congratulate your sister for me.

OK, thank you!

I am calling to apologize.

What for?

I've been thinking about

what I said to you...

You've taught me so much

and I acted like a coward.

Come on, stop it!

I could never forgive myself

if I got you fired.

That's not the only

reason I am calling.

- I found out where the video was made.

- She did, of course!

I had some help.

I told my friends about

what happened to you.

You ruined the party?

On the contrary. I was being all sad...

Gloomy!

They asked me what the matter was.

I didn't want to tell them

but they made me.

You found the original video?

Unfortunately not. They told me

data has been deleted.

But I found something else.

I noticed that your trousers

in the video are dirty.

I remembered when I last took your

trousers to the dry cleaner's.

But that didn't help because

you must have taken them there

yourself on several occasions.

Can you get to the point?

These riddles are impossible!

I thought you'd want to know

when the video was shot.

I am sorry, I really

want to know when.

So I watched it again and thought:

why were you there?

You rarely walk anywhere!

That's not true. I jog.

Sometimes...

But that day...

...my car broke down.

Right!

I looked up the date

when your car broke down.

Then we identified the place.

There was no one following you.

It was just a surveillance

camera in the park!

What's so exciting about that?

Sorry, I thought I already mentioned

the most important thing...

Turns out I didn't.

Are you going to tell me or not?

I knew I should have been

easier on the punch!

Lisa!

The garage shadow in the video

falls in different directions

all the time.

When you appear it's to the right

When the fire starts it's to the left

Right. People are just going

to say that the video was cut.

Because it took a while

for the fire to catch on.

If you watch closely, you'll see

that the video is made up

of little fragments.

vasya noticed that

a swearword on the garage

is there one minute

and then gone the next.

This video is a total fake!

- Thank you, Lisa! And all the others!

- Welcome!

So?

How did you find Andrey?

It wasn't me,

our detectives found him.

Andrey paid back the money

but he clearly wasn't

set on coming back to you.

His file is closed.

Does he have another family now?

I don't know.

Why didn't you ask him yourself?

All I have is his new name

and phone number.

You shouldn't hold it against him.

He faked his own death.

You faked a piece of my life.

You two deserve each other.

You think you know him?

The hell you do!

My husband was different.

Much better that all of you.

Why 'was'?

He still is.

Some 400 km separating you.

You are lying!

Andrey died because

of the likes of you.

Your husband is alive,

you should be happy!

No. Andrey is dead.

Hello?

Arthur, it's Tamara, from the vet Clinic.

Is he dead?

No. Art is still breathing.

He is a strong dog.

You called him Art?

I wanted to call him Arthur but

my pen ran out of ink.

I am calling to tell you that

it's not my shift tomorrow.

I will leave your things

in the guest locker.

So I won't see you tomorrow?

- That's a pity.

- Me too.

You have such a lovely voice,

I really wanted to see

who it belongs to.

We saw each other when

you brought in the dog.

I was in such a rush

I didn't get a proper look.

I seem to remember you have

dimples on your cheeks.

Only on the right one.

No dimple on the left one.

I am defective.

It's called unusual.

Could we talk? Not over the phone?

What do you say to that?

...Hello?

Arthur?

I am sorry, we got disconnected.

If you want, we could meet tonight.

I am afraid tonight won't work.

OK then. Call me when you can.

I will send you my number.
