Hide and Seek (Схованки)

3 YEARS EARLIER

Look at that teddy bear!

Hey there!

Thanks! Take it. Take it.

- Shall we go shopping? - Yes.

Sweetheart, come here.

Corning, darling.

Alisa, stay here. Play with the phone.

Daddy's trying on a jacket.

- Could you try this one on? - Sure.

It looks good.

- We have a sale on today. - Really?

- I'm going to womenswear. - OK.

We'll take it.

Alisa.

Alisa?

- What's wrong? - Wait!

- There was a girl here. Where is she? - I don't know.

- And your phone? - I gave it to Alisa.

Give me yours!

Have you seen a little girl with a yellow scarf?

Have you seen a little girl with a yellow scarf?

Quiet!

- Where did you get that? - Over there. I just found it.

Take it. And wait for me here.

Get out of the way!

Step aside!

Get out of the way!

Hey!

Alisa!

Alisa!

Alisa!

Good morning.

Morning.

Still can't trace the signal.

Today is Bondar's funeral. Can you cover for me?

Sure.

Thanks.

Not the same without her, is it?

I love you too.

Let me hug you once more.

I need to go.

Bye, Mummy!

HOW DO I FIND YOU? YOU DIDN'T LEAVE ANY COORDINATES

When did you guess about Bondar and The Seven?

From the start.

- Did you talk to him? - I tried, but he avoided the subject.

- Hello, Leonid. - Hi, Kolya.

He called me just before he died. He wanted to meet up and talk.

I think he was in trouble.

It's a pity you didn't meet up. If you're right,

he could have told us lots of interesting stuff.

And provided names.

Max?

What's going on?

We should slow down.

Hello?

I know what the numbers on the video mean.

- I'll meet you at the station. - OK.

And Max?

- Maybe he knows something. - No, he doesn't have a clue.

Max said you suspended his new partner. You shouldn't have.

He's going through a hard time, he's just lost his old partner.

Dad, I have to go. You can get a lift with the others.

Where are you going?

Naumova has an idea. It looks like it's our only lead.

OK. She can return to work.

Seeing as you're incapable without her.

Just don't drink tonight.

Thanks.

- I realised... - Let's talk inside.

- I can't, I'm suspended. - You've been reinstated.

How's that?

Thank my father. He knows how to talk to Gorai.

- What did he say to him? - No idea.

They have an understanding.

Welcome back.

I think the numbers on the kids' hands might be coordinates.

This must be latitude, and this is longitude.

We're missing two numbers. Can you figure it out?

Theoretically, it's where the kids are being held.

That makes sense. I'll try.

Coffee anyone?

Coffee's cancelled. We've got another kidnapping attempt.

Here's an idea.

What if responsibility for the crime is shared

between criminal and victim?

What if the victim is just as guilty as the criminal?

You'd say that's nonsense and you'd be right.

Or would you?

OK, let's put it another way.

What drives a criminal to commit a crime?

This is why I hate lecturing in the morning.

Everybody's still asleep.

Very often, the cause of a crime

is the provocative behaviour of the victim.

For example, acts of hooliganism, aggression,

direct or indirect humiliation, promiscuity...

COME OUT

I need to go.

Sometimes a victim, as provocateur,

sows the seeds of criminal intent.

Which then sprout inside a violent person's mind.

And very quickly it yields results, which we refer to here as...

a crime.

Please continue.

I was just momentarily distracted. But Sasha disappeared.

I spotted him next to a stranger's car.

I asked him why he went off without permission.

He said a man called him.

With these recent kidnappings,

I called the police straight away.

- What kind of car was it? - It was white.

- Do you recall the registration? - No, sorry. He sped off.

Are you sure the car was white?

Was it maybe beige, or silver?

What make of car?

Was it a minivan, an SUV,

an estate car?

Try to remember.

It's very important.

I don't know.

Sasha,

can you leave the tablet a minute and tell us what happened?

Sasha? I asked you something.

- He's scared. - Don't worry.

You did everything right.

Could you draw the man's car?

Good boy.

Did he give you these?

And asked you to get in the car?

You know, I've got a drawing too.

It's not as good as yours though.

Take a look.

Is this him?

May I?

Yes, go ahead.

I think I know him.

You should talk to my husband.

We're here to see Alexander Grinevsky.

- Hello, are you Mr Grinevsky? - Yes, that's me. What's this about?

We're from the police. We'd like to show you a photofit.

Let's go over here.

Thanks.

It looks like Roman Sviridov, but I'm not sure.

- Do you know him? - Yes, we worked together

on a tender for industrial software in Switzerland.

He won it and got a job in Zurich.
