. great that you're here, hi, yeah, this is the second case in a month, like the first case, the face is smashed beyond recognition, most likely by a stone, nothing in the pockets, no documents were found, in general, no leads. what's in your line of work? cause of death - a blow to the head with the same heavy object. death occurred about 10 hours ago, but you'll find out the details after the autopsy. who found the body? the local boys. in general, nothing interesting. so, andryukh, let's go to the courtyards, maybe someone will say something there. kolya, and you do the inspection of the area. that's it, we're working.

yes, hello, comrade lieutenant colonel, excuse me, please, i got stuck in a traffic jam, sit down, so, inspection of the crime scene, did you give anything, nothing interesting, it's clear what the thoughts will be about the identity of the victims, most likely homeless people, yeah, yeah.

friends, don't you think that a series is emerging before us? well, well, well, it turns out that we have a maniac has started up, right? i think it's premature to talk about a series, the fact that two homeless people... in the same way doesn't mean anything, yes, but i ask you to pay attention to the fact that both murders were committed in the same weather conditions, and on the twenty-fifth and three days ago there was a thick fog, yes, god willing, thank god, that you are right, that the crime scene is known, and this is the village of likhodeevo within the city, on one side there is a residential area, on the other there are summer cottages, behind them a cemetery, yeah, i asked for a summary of criminal incidents over the past 5 years. likhodeva, of course, it's not the aisle of prosperity, but nothing serious has happened there lately. well, feel out the local homeless people, ask around, has anyone disappeared there? got it, i'll do it today. slava, i would also advise you to consult with professor zvontsov, he is one of the best forensic psychiatrists. if the suspicion of

a series is correct, his opinion will be very, by the way, well, kolya will do it. and pasha and i will go to likhodeevo. yeah. navlady, get to work. hello, i'm captain dymov, criminal investigation department, they called you, please come in, thank you very much, my name is irina, i am the secretary mikhail stepanovich, very nice to meet you, he is waiting for you, thank you. hello, you are very precise, exactly to the minute, mikhail stepanovich, very nice to meet you, captain

dymov, please, oh, how many paintings do you have, these are the works of patients whom i was able to help. oleg georgievich said that we are talking about serial murders, yes, but there is no complete certainty, and what is there? there are two repeating episodes, the method of murder is the same. all the victims are elderly people, all the crimes occurred in the same place, both times there was a thick fog, but there are no obvious motives, and no leads. interesting, interesting. "there is no obvious motive, no, but you know, when catching a serial killer, three things are important, yeah, first, you have to remember what drives this person, the thirst for power over the life of the victim. second, to catch a monster, you need

to learn to think and feel like him, to become a monster yourself for a while." i understand, and the third is the crime scene, that's right, that's very important, it's the crime scene that can tell us a lot, there you can understand what was thinking and the monster felt, you have the case materials, yes, of course, let's go, so, so, so, yeah, so, you know, i have to think it over carefully, well, nothing suspicious, comrade major, i have the same thing, oh, it seems like a local resident, maybe he knows something, i'm now, great, great, father, lieutenant

potap to the homicide department, have you been working here for a long time, can we talk, what do you need, petrovich? holy shit, slavochka, how the hell did this happen, and how did this happen to you, they're working, my friend, what are you talking about, yeah, yeah, i'm working over there, well, you don't need such things eyes to do, i work part-time as a stonemason in the fresh air, well tell me, you tell me in the fresh air, and i didn’t see anything suspicious the day before yesterday, well it depends on which side you look at it from, well, a fight, for example, the day before yesterday , the day before yesterday, the day before yesterday i didn’t see anything by lunchtime , well what can i tell you, guys, the place is completely criminal, yes, a godforsaken place, you could say, in general, believe it or not, here, right here in this very place murders happen all the time, for example, well, for example, about 20 years ago, here a girl, a young one, right by the cemetery was taken and

killed, about three weeks ago, a guy was killed here, raped, completely disfigured, a guy, right? a godforsaken place, you understand that he hasn't spent the night at home for two days, i understand, but maybe you're worrying in vain, maybe he just didn't warn you, and you don't know, and he went somewhere, no, i've been working with the professor for a long time, i know him well, no, he didn't leave the city, and then he had nowhere to go, his car is parked in the garage, his cell phone doesn't answer, no, that's so unlike him, in general, i feel, i'm just sure that something bad happened to the professor, i have something to say to you please wait in the hallway, please. "kol, zvontsov, a well-known figure, we need to react, please go with

the lady to the apartment and see what's going on. slava, i have a vacation starting tomorrow, you have a vacation starting tomorrow, and today go to the apartment and sort things out, it only takes 2 hours, tell me, the night before yesterday, did you notice anything, let's say, unusual in his behavior, no, he really was very upset." when you left, he sent me home, i never saw him again, clear, clear, ok, ok, can i call on the landline? yes, yes, of course, thank you, thank you, so, tera, the last call was made at 23:21, very good. this is captain dymov,

rydanovo for me. andryukha, run the number 544 1366 for me urgently. come on, i'm waiting, and he didn't say anything like that, maybe something made you wary? no, nothing, nothing. how? kuskov artyom sergeevich, very good. wow, no, i. yes, yeah, we talked to him, the day before yesterday, yeah,

23:21, and what did you talk to him about, what do you mean, he was talking nonsense, and in more detail, no, yeah, why are you so worried, no, i didn't want to disturb you, this citizen has some kind of star fever, and you know him, no, yeah, you don't know this person, come here, right now, galya, you haven't seen this person, this is not your case, i have, ours, ours, according to rydanov, the homeless people identified the victims, and not from their company, disappeared under unclear circumstances, quarrels, drunken fights, dividing up the territory, they say that nothing. like that, and what do you think? i think they're lying, but i know them, they are a torn shoe friend

friend ready to kill, i think potapov should develop the version with the homeless, yes, of course, but i have serious doubts, well, if this is really a series, then the killer is not one of the homeless, perhaps he lives somewhere nearby, but the most important thing is that he has this...

what kind of tea, what are you talking about, i'm late, i have to run, how's the homeless case? great, good, i'll pass it on to andryukha, he knows, i'll be back in a week, and we'll finish this case, since, in general, with the murder of the professor... the situation changes, you see, an elderly man was killed man, the murder happened in the same place, the same murder weapon, also on the 25th, damn it, fog, in general, all three murders, yeah, are connected to each other, that 's it, so i'll have to wait with the vacation, well no, well no, glory, well no, it's my fate that's being decided, you know, i've already packed my bags, i've bought the tickets, well

what do i have to tear myself apart, then no more than a week, okay, well what... yeah, and then they'll tear someone's head off again and say that they can't do without you, i said we 'll go, that means we'll go, that's what i'm talking about i heard last time, well, okay, okay, but we can go to the exhibition of your favorite kuskov, and if you want, well, listen, listen to me, if you want, if you want i

can introduce you to him, i don’t want anything anymore, i’m going to my mom’s... don’t walk me out, why are you doing this? so, slava, did you request the neighboring districts, do they have similar episodes? well, you’re insulting me, georgievich, there’s nothing similar, i even requested the region. so, have you looked at the lists of missing persons? there are no unidentified bodies with characteristic wounds. i’m worried about why they killed him and not another homeless person? on your question has several possible answers. well, i'm listening. firstly, the killer could have attacked not specifically homeless people, but elderly people who were in a certain place at a certain time. as far as i understand, the time of the murder coincides. secondly, zvontsov could have known the killer and even treated him at one time.

exactly. and the killer made an appointment with the professor. again, it doesn't add up. why vlikhadeyeva at night, why did zvontsov agree to this meeting at all, why didn't he move it to a crowded place during the day, no, glory, something is wrong here, listen, let's go together vytalikhadieva, i want to look at it myself, you understand, pasha, there was something in the professor's apartment that was so important for our case, well... that's what, i can't remember, it flashed, but i didn't pay attention, so, what flashed, if i knew, i would tell you, something very important, i don't know, listen, let's go and look at zvontsov's apartment again, well, right from ido, maybe you'll remember, well, let's go, let's go, what are you

looking for? i don't know myself, at least some clue that would shed light, well, if i can help you with something, or maybe he threatened him did anyone make any calls there, no, well, what are you saying, on the contrary, they only thanked me, on the day i was leaving, maybe something unusual did happen, remember, but i don't think so, although wait, when i was leaving, he said, but not to me, but as if to himself, did he really break it? "sorry, uh-huh, yes, yes, yes, yes, i will inform you about the forgiveness ceremony, thank you, goodbye, tell me who the author of this painting is, i don't know, it's been hanging there for a long time, it seems like it's always been here, here it is, what

it is, a godforsaken place, the scene of our crime, damn, a sham to cover up the professor's murder, listen, maybe the murder of the homeless people was just too clever, but... i agree, but then it turns out that the maniac appeared in these parts quite recently, but where was he before? well , i don't know, in another city, in another region, in another country, finally, let's go to the department,

oh, what are you talking about, let's go, i wonder, our murders are fresh, and the painting hung in his office for 20 years, you say that it appeared even before irina became. oh, okay, you convinced me, i'll go to the repin institute.

forest fires are caused by human fault, stop defeat fire, callings of the strong forest firefighters of the rosleskhoz aviation forest protection service, 90 years old, guarding the forests of russia. the man knows only that he was born. that he is the son of koshcheikha, he kept shouting at me: "you are the son of koshcheikha." the foster mother admitted that she took him from barak, where there was an extra boy in a large family. they went there and took the child there . the man is sure that the foster mother did not need a child, but a free helper around the house. since i was 8 years old, i have to clean up cattle, gardens, will a resident of the chelyabinsk region find his biological family, who gave him to strangers people. grew up in foster families,

koshcheyev's mother abandoned them, let's say, tatyana and vyacheslav, your grandmother's children, it turns out that she named the younger children after the older ones, it turns out there are two vyacheslavs, two tatyanas, i 'm opening the envelope, dna, today at 17:50 on ntv. "i was at the art school and found out that kuskov studied in the class of associate professor serebryakov, and i found out that kuskov was a patient of professor zvontsov, and that he treated depression, depression, and zvontsov was the last one kuskov called, oops, that is, we have quite a real suspect, yes, kuskov could have been the author of that painting that hung in zvontsov's apartment, he could have, but that doesn't prove anything. well, he shared his childhood art with the professor, so what? he 'll explain that the treatment was successful, and that's how he thanked the professor. yes, but

we still need to find out where he spent the night. the kids still draw him, and you know, kostya, i remembered how i taught classes at your art school, such a bright talent as you have is rare, it seemed so to you, marya pavlovna, there was nothing extraordinary, and do you remember artem kuskov, it seems you were friends, you just studied in the same class, no, no, i remember, you were friends and constantly competed, yes, kuskov has now risen high, personal exhibitions, television, he is, of course, a gifted young man, but he was always far from you, but now everything is the opposite,

you just turned out to have a different talent, you are an excellent teacher, you give yourself entirely to your students, kuskov, in the end, popularity has never brought much happiness, you are with me agree, well yes, i remember another boy was friends with you, i forgot his name, levka feldman, yes, his parents wanted him to become an artist. but he had no talent, and i even knew one of your secrets, you always know everything, marya palovna, sometimes you wrote tyudes for him, yes, lev, he was such a withdrawn boy, and where he is now, i have no idea, andryukha, oh, pasha, it's great that you, i found out, identified him in pieces, he was there, i was right when...

the murder was not on other days, but that doesn't mean anything, understand that he will return to likhodeev, because he's already killed three people, it's just not going to stop there, quiet, quiet, pasha, don't get excited, what are you proposing, i'm proposing, let's keep watch tonight, i listened to the forecast, they're promising fog again, fog, yes, fog, where's your artist, fog, fog, there's a lot of snow, how cold it is, here we go, anyway, let's go home, that's it, don't get excited, andryukh, let's sit for another hour, here he is, seeing, let's go get him.

the belongings of the detained mr. kuskov will be examined, beauty, gentlemen witnesses, gentlemen cops, a rich catch, your job, no, great, great, maybe you know who the author is, but i have no idea, talentless.

stupid daub. tell me, when did you start consulting with professor zvontsov? but this is my personal business. this is my personal life. and i would never advise anyone to stick their nose in there. and you and i are not arguing. if it weren't for the three murders, we would sacredly honor your right to privacy. but now i'll ask you. do you have any proof of my guilt? on what grounds was i arrested? you were detained. but that doesn't change the essence. you were seen in likhodeev and there are witnesses. so what? i have there's a dacha nearby. and that your witnesses saw me there on the day of the murder? okay, and whose things were in the bag that you wanted to throw out? my ex-wife's things, we had another fight with her, so out of anger i took all her junk, gathered it all up, decided to give it to the homeless, they always hang around there. where were you on the night of the 24th to the 25th? at home, alone? and that's none of your business. you're wrong, you haven't had a cure.

okay, how do you explain that the professor called you last, i can't explain it at all, i still haven't figured out what was needed this old senile man, well then i 'll help you. the professor guessed that you were the killer, called you, you got scared, made an appointment with him at likhodeeva, yes, it all fits, on the night of the 24th to the 25th, right after your call , the murder occurred, are you crazy, exactly on the 25th of what my ex-wife was at home, we were with her, how can i explain it more simply, that... the old man called at the wrong time, that's why i hung up. oh, hello, marinochka, hello, and your professor today no, he has a consultation for graduate students tomorrow. i wanted to come tomorrow, but

it turned out that way, and i came to kuskov's exhibition, and the exhibition was closed. yes, i heard. you know, marinochka, all sorts of rumors are going around. what rumors? they say kuskov was arrested. how was he arrested, and for what? no one knows for sure, but it seems like he is suspected of murder, a nightmare, right? sergeevna, hello, i would like to talk to you, now training in this hall costs a lot of money, and what should i talk to you about, i would like to talk about your ex-husband.

there is evidence against him, unfortunately, comrade major, only circumstantial, that is , there is nothing to present to him, nothing, comrade major, kuskov cannot be released, i am sure that it was him, why such confidence, comrade lieutenant, do you have witnesses, a clear motive,

a murder weapon, when you have the facts, then decide, now let him go, well, how is that possible, vyacheslav yuryevich, i have turned over a pile of literature, i have learned that many artists were prone to madness, like in angok in a ruble, well, yes, i am looking. a huge psychological the place they painted had an impact on the artist, on the painting that we took from the professor, likhodeev, so, gentlemen detectives, we have two options, either we go completely crazy, or we find the real killer, good day, what about kuskov, he's healthy, kuskov's ex-wife, alibi confirms, but i don't really believe her. hello, hello, how is the investigation going, it's going well, the case is complicated, several crimes were combined into one, but

i hope we'll solve it, listen, by the way, in connection with this case, i had the good fortune talk to your favorite kuskov, that 's what i'm telling you... is he, is he a witness in the case? well, he's not exactly a witness, he, so it was you who arrested him? do you suspect that artem kuskov is a murderer? wait, how do you know? my god, have you gone completely crazy, dymov, he's a genius, you understand, he sees the world completely, completely differently, and you think that he's a murderer, you're just a maniac, you're just a maniac, i'm a maniac. "well done, now you understand how important perspective is, excuse me, even if you try to distort proportions, then you need to do it wisely, and not haphazardly, konstantin petrovich, you said it yourself, can i have a word with you, yes, one

second, guys, thank you all, thank you, well then, to support, come in, mister investigator, i am not an investigator, i am an operative, oh, i beg your pardon, i never". could not figure out your hierarchy, no big deal, so what brought you to me? konstantin petrovich, i spoke with the director of the art school, yeah, he recognized this work remembered one important thing. which one, did you write it, yes, yes, i don't know, maybe i don't remember, although, you know, it seems to me that i gave it to someone, either artem kuskov or lyova feldman, the three of us were friends then, and where were you on the night of the 24th to the 25th, at home? was i sleeping?

kalyamba, well, you're strong, you spent a whole hour in the steam room, in a healthy body, healthy spirit, after all, in my opinion, it was kuskov who was our client. i'm not sure, i can still admit that he killed zvontsov, but homeless people, why, the human psyche is a delicate instrument, he first killed, and then received an impulse to write cards, genius and villainy, like classics, well, and what am i saying, by the way, you will remember me when you find the next corpse, like, on your tongue, and not only that, but i am still men, i agree with oleg georgievich, thank you, andryukha, yes, after all, we have a man against kusky.

and here i found it. yeah. i think you will find this interesting. good. recorded from the patient's words. when the police arrived at the crime scene, the girl was dead. the patient learned from the inheritance that the killer was under 50, a fallen recidivist recently from prison. a few months later, zd began to feel

an irresistible attraction to this place, moreover, it was there that he killed stray dogs and cats, first he drank them on the head, then smashed their faces into a bloody mess, well, now a lot becomes clear, zvontsov's question, if you killed a person, how would you do it? after completing the course, patient z gave him

a picture where he depicted a fatal place for himself. i understand this boy. by killing in this place, he rehabilitated himself. there is such a term in psychology, an unfinished situation. so, by killing the freaks of his victim, he was finishing that situation when he got scared and dumped the girl. is the report on the work done ready? no way, comrade major, there are still a lot of blank spots, well, when are you going to fill it out, when the crayfish is hanging on the mountain, well, we are working, what do you have, yes, there is one thread, comrade major, you have a fax from abroad, about this, what's his name, here is the fieldman, the fieldman, borya, feldman, thank you, borya, oops. vyacheslav yuryevich, you saw it coming,

our feldman returned to russia when 2 months ago, oh, that's what we need, i'll probably take care of it, yeah, report right away, okay, what's that thread, well, wow, oh my god, it's really a damned place, another corpse, it's all on our heads, and you, if, then, in the archive, well yes, this is the only way to find out. who was this guy? i don't know any zvontsov, i've never consulted a psychotherapist, don't worry so much, lev davidovich, i just want to ask you, lev davidovich. do you recognize this painting? no, but take a closer look, please, it was kostya who gave it to me, how how? and so, how do you explain that it was hanging in the office at professor zvontsov? no way, i don't even

know how it got there, you see, i moved a lot, i could have lost it somewhere, i sell blankets, pillows, there is a big demand for it now. okay, okay, okay, don't be so nervous, i just want to ask about your passion for painting, i had no passion for painting, come on, and for paper clips either, i had an aptitude for trade, when my parents noticed it, everything immediately fell into place, and where were you on the night of the 24th to the 25th, here in st. petersburg, i have birthday on the twenty-fourth, 20 people invited, a pub, partied until the morning, write me down at... the pub where you partied, well, a list of all the guests, tema, tema, what are you doing, stop it, they'll put me in jail, alinka, they'll put me in jail, oh, you'll bring me parcels

, tema, no, you won't, you'll disdain it, but what makes you think they'll put you in jail, and the police, as we say, are framing me for a case, no one cares, oh, and no one needs you now, no one understands you, oh, kuskov, you've forced yourself on me, that's also for you, me, yeah, what is this? take the lid off and take a look. "this is for me, yeah, marish, well, i know you want to give me a punch in the neck, i'm ready, hit me right in the forehead, and what, i'll give it, oh, glory, yeah,

i found this case, look, now i know who killed the homeless people, killed zvontsov, like that, wait, yeah, it all fits, yeah, let 's go to him, we'll take him warm, we'll go together, and you, it turns out, are a landscape lover. yeah, what do i owe it to? he's even here, a godforsaken place. it must be very memorable for you. 20 years ago, on the twenty-fifth, you and elena chukina were returning from a disco, decided to cut the corner and went along the cemetery. you were attacked, the girl was killed, you ran away. then you

started to suffer from headaches and obsessive memories. you became very aggressive. your parents became worried and took you to the professor. what do you mean by this? that you don't have alebi. besides, we have witnesses who saw you in likhodeev. you'll have to come with us. okay, i'll just change. slava, he has an exit to the roof there. schools there.

that's it, you ran too far, are you under arrest?

then he was waiting for me, he knew everything, he knew that i was the one killing, oh my god, what business does he have with that

rejection, he's a scumbag, but i could have stopped, i could have stopped, great , hello, hello, how come, but i understand that the plein air was released today. no, it's a godforsaken place, what a godforsaken, wonderful place, i work in the kremlin museum, i know the whole history of this villain, no, mitka, the place is dark, criminal, the same as everywhere else, but although 100 years ago i heard, there was one story: "interesting, a gendarme officer was introduced into a gang robbers, with his help they

all got caught there in likhodiyev, they say there was a loud shootout, that's hapent, just like ours.

what's the deal? no, they're winning, yes sir. hello, comrade major, sixth floor, the elevator, as usual, isn't working, how did you guess?
