Hide and Seek (Схованки)

Sonya, my darling.

Come on, let's go.

Let's go, shall we?

The third kidnap victim is Oksana Shvets.

The suspected kidnapper is Roman Sviridov.

This is his daughter Alisa.

She disappeared from a shopping centre 3 years ago.

It's thought this event triggered the recent kidnappings.

Hi.

What happened?

Sonya, go to your room please.

We need to talk.

Could you be mistaken?

Maybe that girl

just looks like our Sonya?

They showed her photo. It's definitely her.

If the press have the photo, sooner or later they'll find us.

No, don't answer it.

Sonya had another seizure today. She slipped out of the car

and stood right in the middle of the road. A truck almost hit her.

She won't survive another seizure.

To all intents and purposes we're her parents.

Yes, of course.

So what do we do?

We'll go away.

Right now.

All checked.

- Here. - Fill the glass.

Open the door! Police!

- Have you seen the Laudes lately? - They've just left.

With huge suitcases. All three of them.

- When exactly? - About an hour ago.

They've left.

Check-in for flight 4324 to Antwerp is now open.

Excuse me.

Sorry. Excuse me.

- Hello. - Hello.

One moment, please.

German and Marina Laude?

- Yes, is there a problem? - Come with us, please.

- But we have a flight to catch. - You'll have to miss it.

We got hold of the barge. They're coming back.

He couldn't kill them, could he?

We can't be sure. The coordinates match. His tragedy is now public.

But we haven't found Alisa.

Sviridov doesn't even think she's alive.

Hence the "game over".

- What would you do in his shoes? - I don't know.

Are you sure? Children?

It's freezing in there.

Even the homeless don't stay long.

Cut the engine.

Everything's OK.

Check his pulse.

Where's Oksana?

She went that way.

- There's a pulse. - Take the children out.

Come with me.

Help!

I'm not afraid of you!

Oksana?

Everything's OK.

It's OK.

Easy, easy.

It's all right. Come here.

It's over.

- Where's the man who took you? - He opened the cage and left.

You'll be fine.

Sviridov isn't here.

Get back to the station. The Laudes are in custody.

Varta, do you hear me?

Understood.

We were at the station.

We saw the patrol car leaving and we followed them.

Apparently, the other parents have also been informed.

Yes.

- I can't believe it's over. - Luckily.

Good evening. I'm Oksana's mother.

- We're so grateful to you. - Your daughter's very brave.

We love her more than anything. Thank God you found her.

Thank you.

- Shall we go home? - I'm afraid not.

The Laudes are in custody. Let's get back to work.

They insist she's their daughter.

They have her birth certificate and hospital documents.

Documents can be forged.

My name is Maxim Shumov.

This is Senior Investigator Varta Naumova.

Where did you give birth?

- Excuse me? - What's the name of the hospital?

It's in the documents.

Please excuse my colleague, but due to the ongoing investigation...

What was her height, weight and eye colour at birth?

- Exact time of birth? - Stop it. This is out of order.

- Varta, don't. - Look at me. Is this your mother?

Naumova!

Step outside.

- What are you doing? - That's Sviridov's daughter.

- You have no proof. - That woman did not give birth to her.

They bought her and faked the papers. Human trafficking is a crime.

Where's your proof? Have you found Sviridov?

No, but we know for certain that Lavrov sold them the girl.

Lavrov?

The one Fadeeva implicated? Is he here?

- No. - Why?

Viktor, while arresting Lavrov...

Lavrov is dead. Overdose. His girlfriend told us about Laude.

Is that it? Circumstantial evidence from a junkie whore?

Are you serious?

Their lawyer is on his way.

Naumova, I don't want you anywhere near them.

Take the photos of the Laude girl and post them everywhere.

If she is Sviridov's daughter, he'll be in touch.

Varta, we can't do that. We have no right.

So how do you propose we find him? He's convinced his daughter's dead.

If he knows she's alive, he'll contact us.

But you're using that girl as bait.

Her parents would never agree. And they'd be right.

They should be in jail for forging documents for an abducted child!

Stop it! This is getting way too personal for you.

You want to punish innocent people. You need to calm down.

Clear your head. You're not thinking straight.

Clear my head?

Really?

Do you know what could have happened if the barge had stayed in dock?

I do, but we found the children and they're fine.

He left them to die!

If you're too scared to post Alisa's photos,

I'll do it myself.

Do you think she really is Sviridov's daughter?

If Sviridov thought she was alive, he'd carry on searching for her.

- What does that phrase mean? - "Game Over"?

Don't turn on the light.

e have a special bond.

We always have.

- Hello? - I've got Sviridov.

Meet me at the station.

Don't move.

How did you work it out?

The phrase.

It wasn't about the children, it was about him.

Remember this photo?

- Where Alisa's scarf was found? - Yes, that's where it started for him.

And that's where he wanted to end it.

My name's Maxim Shumov. This is Varta Naumova.

You're accused of kidnapping three children.

Alina Borovko, Bogdan Radishchev and Oksana Shvets.

- Have you found them? - We have.

Bodgan suffers from cardiac oedema, caused by acute respiratory failure.

Alina has nervous exhaustion.

It's not clear whether they'll make a full recovery.

And Oksana?

You didn't mention her.

Oksana suffered less than the others.

So?

You think you've fulfilled your maternal duty?

- That's nothing to do with you. - We'll ask the questions.

3 days.

For 3 days I was questioned by people like you.

You lot questioned me at the station instead of looking for my daughter.

And you know what they kept asking?

How did I manage to get a job in Zurich.

As if we'd deliberately got rid of our child

to make the move easier.

Why did you kidnap Alina Borovko?
