00:01:40♪♪
00:01:50I'm sorry, gentlemen.
00:01:52Minister's talks usually take longer.
00:01:54Dr. Seas.
00:01:56I think he will be able to help us a lot.
00:01:59Please.
00:02:06Please, colleague Farkard.
00:02:08You can start.
00:02:09And from the very beginning.
00:02:12Official police report opening the case.
00:02:16Scotland Yard received it from Engander
00:02:19three days before Christmas.
00:02:21But only detailed research,
00:02:23carried out in January,
00:02:24showed that these stories with corpses
00:02:27had already happened before,
00:02:28but they were still being magnified.
00:02:30♪♪♪
00:02:41Oh, my God.
00:02:44He's alive.
00:02:47Oh, my God, he's alive.
00:02:51Do something, he's alive.
00:02:55Of course, it's a fairy tale.
00:02:57According to the local doctor,
00:02:59there is no doubt about it.
00:03:01However, when the rumors about the lethargy began to spread,
00:03:05it was noticed that people had been talking about
00:03:08lethargy for some time.
00:03:11For some time?
00:03:13What do you mean?
00:03:15It's not supposed to be determined.
00:03:17Anyway, the rumors referred to the town of Sheltam and Dipper.
00:03:22In Sheltam, there was the body of Samuel Filty,
00:03:25who was supposed to turn into a coffin.
00:03:28In Dipper, the body of a mentally ill woman
00:03:31was found in the morning on the ground next to the coffin in the hospital.
00:03:36Please go on, Mr. Colleague.
00:03:38All this would probably have been put aside
00:03:41as a fantasy of eternally drunk gamblers.
00:03:44But on January 16, in Dipper, in Trick Hill,
00:03:47the body of a certain James Traley was found.
00:03:53Any additional details?
00:03:55The body was removed from Dipper between 12 and 5 a.m.
00:04:01The deceased was a 45-year-old man.
00:04:04No autopsy was done.
00:04:07Please go on.
00:04:09Six days later, on January 23,
00:04:13another case of disappearance occurred.
00:04:16In Spyton.
00:04:18This time it was the body of a 28-year-old worker
00:04:21who had died the day before.
00:04:25The funeral took place at 3 p.m.
00:04:27The body was transported to the hospital.
00:04:29He was no longer there in the morning.
00:04:31The funeral?
00:04:32No result.
00:04:33The third case took place in Loverley.
00:04:36That's within the Great London.
00:04:38Yes, yes.
00:04:39The Department of Medicine has its new prosecutors there.
00:04:41The bodies of a 50-year-old steward, Elon,
00:04:44died there.
00:04:45It happened exactly 10 days after the second disappearance,
00:04:48on February 2.
00:04:49This time, the investigation was taken over by Yard.
00:04:52It was led by Lieutenant Gregory,
00:04:54who later took on another case,
00:04:56the disappearance of the bodies
00:04:58from the cemetery in Bromley.
00:05:03Lieutenant Gregory,
00:05:05would you like to tell us
00:05:07the course of your investigation?
00:05:09Actually, I have nothing to boast about.
00:05:12In all cases,
00:05:14the bodies disappeared at night.
00:05:17There were no signs of breakage on the spot.
00:05:20In the Kostnitz case,
00:05:21it was not necessary.
00:05:22The legs are not closed.
00:05:24Or only so that the child can open them with a nail.
00:05:27Any witnesses?
00:05:28Additional traces?
00:05:29No.
00:05:30Unfortunately, none.
00:05:33When I was investigating,
00:05:34I learned the details of the previous cases.
00:05:38I was in all these places,
00:05:39but I didn't find any trace,
00:05:41no thread.
00:05:43Nothing.
00:05:44Absolutely nothing.
00:05:48Mr. Burkhardt,
00:05:49can you continue?
00:05:51Yes, Inspector.
00:05:53Another disappearance took place in Louis,
00:05:55on February 19.
00:05:57It was the body of a young port worker
00:05:59who had a car accident.
00:06:02This time, the time of the disappearance
00:06:04can be described with exceptional accuracy.
00:06:06At half past three in the morning,
00:06:07a man named Barton died.
00:06:09His sister lived with his sister.
00:06:12She was so afraid to stay with a homeless man
00:06:14in the same apartment
00:06:15that in the middle of the night
00:06:16she killed the owner of the funeral home.
00:06:18The body was taken to the morgue.
00:06:21It was exactly a quarter past three.
00:06:23Two of the workers of the funeral home
00:06:25placed Barton's body
00:06:26next to the body of this port worker.

00:09:06♪♪♪
00:09:16♪♪♪
00:09:26♪♪♪
00:09:36Thank you, sir.
00:09:38Dr. Seas, may I ask you a favor?
00:09:46I'm being treated here as a newbie in police work.
00:09:50I understand that the classic methods of investigation,
00:09:53i.e. collecting traces,
00:09:55searching for motives,
00:09:58have completely failed.
00:10:01If only one accident had happened,
00:10:03we would still be helpless
00:10:05that we have a whole series ahead of us.
00:10:07We have to rely on the facts
00:10:09that accompanied everyone
00:10:11or almost everyone's accident.
00:10:13We will therefore use the method
00:10:16of statistical composition of phenomena.
00:10:20This method has not yet been used in any investigation,
00:10:25so I am glad that I will be able to present it to you today.
00:10:29So, first of all,
00:10:33before the actual phenomenon of disappearance,
00:10:36we had a stadium of clues.
00:10:39The corpses changed positions.
00:10:41Some were turned upside down,
00:10:43others to the side,
00:10:45others were found on the ground next to the coffin.
00:10:47Secondly, all that disappeared
00:10:50were the corpses of men in old age.
00:10:53Thirdly, every time,
00:10:56except for the first one,
00:10:58some cover was taken care of the body.
00:11:01Fourthly, they were always undamaged,
00:11:04well-preserved, possibly undamaged.
00:11:09May I?
00:11:12Please also pay attention to the area
00:11:14where our accidents took place.
00:11:16And if you wish,
00:11:18I can present the details of my calculations.
00:11:20Let's start with the results, Doctor.
00:11:22All right?
00:11:23Please.
00:11:25Each accident happened in such a way
00:11:27that it happened to them later,
00:11:29and the body was still in the middle,
00:11:31that is, from the place of the first event.
00:11:33There is a second probability.
00:11:36The time between the next accidents,
00:11:38counting from the first,
00:11:40is getting longer.
00:11:42If we add to this
00:11:44the additional factor of the surrounding temperature,
00:11:46it will turn out that we have
00:11:48a certain new regularity here.
00:11:51But what results from this for the result
00:11:54that our phenomenon
00:11:56moves moderately from the middle
00:11:58of the area I calculated.
00:12:01So the cause is not in Trink Hill,
00:12:04nor in the area where the sounds
00:12:06of the bodies moving appeared.
00:12:10To be precise,
00:12:12the point of the geometric center of the phenomenon
00:12:14is not located in any cistern.
00:12:17It lies 18 miles to the south-west of Charlton,
00:12:23exactly in the area of the damages and misuse.
00:12:26Do you mean to say
00:12:27that one of these damned cisterns
00:12:29some fucking ghost came out,
00:12:31was floating in the air
00:12:32and was picking up corpses one after the other?
00:12:34I don't want to say anything
00:12:35beyond what results from the statistical analysis.
00:12:38There are close relationships,
00:12:41for example, between eggs,
00:12:42a smoker and a stomach,
00:12:43and further relationships,
00:12:45such as, for example,
00:12:46between the political system of the country
00:12:49and the average age of marriage.
00:12:53This series of incidents is difficult to explain.
00:12:57We must refrain from any prejudices.
00:13:00If I were to deal with them on your behalf,
00:13:03I would have to leave this case,
00:13:08as well as cooperation with Yard.
00:13:12Are you finished, Doctor?
00:13:14No, I would like to say a few more words,
00:13:16but as the last one.
00:13:20Colleague Farkard,
00:13:21do you have anything else to add?
00:13:24Not much.
00:13:26I think that some of the rumors
00:13:27about the movement of corpses were true.
00:13:30The investigator wanted to steal the body
00:13:32from Shelton or somewhere else,
00:13:34but he was frightened.
00:13:36He managed to do it only in Trick Hill.
00:13:40The motivation remains to be determined.
00:13:42I see such possibilities as necrophilia,
00:13:44or the actions of some, let's say, scientist.
00:13:50Necrophilia can be ruled out.
00:13:53It can only be touched by people
00:13:55with severe mental damage,
00:13:58unable to plan complicated actions.
00:14:01A mistake can also be ruled out.
00:14:04Nothing was left here by accident.
00:14:07Too much scrupulousness.
00:14:09No mistakes.
00:14:11And they don't pay attention to mistakes.
00:14:14What about paranoia?
00:14:17I don't think so.
00:14:19It can be assumed by force
00:14:21that the investigator could be a psychopath,
00:14:24a serious psychopath.
00:14:26A psychopath, a mathematician?
00:14:28How do you understand that?
00:14:30A psychopath who calculated
00:14:32that it would be funny
00:14:34that the number of times,
00:14:36among other accidents,
00:14:37multiplied by the temperature difference
00:14:39with a constant value.
00:14:41Constance.
00:14:43Because I know,
00:14:45you can multiply and divide different things.
00:14:48The length of braids by the width of a hat.
00:14:51And it can result in
00:14:53different constants or non-constants.
00:14:56Do you think
00:14:58that mathematics is funny in this way?
00:15:00I would like to hear from you
00:15:02about the third motive, Dr. Sorensen.
00:15:05About the scientist who steals corpses?
00:15:08Why steal a corpse,
00:15:10if you can get it in the prosecutor's office?
00:15:12You can also buy it from your family.
00:15:14Besides, no scientist works alone today.
00:15:17I would calmly reject this motive.
00:15:19What do you think is left?
00:15:22Psychopathy or nothing.
00:15:24You are over-exaggerating.
00:15:26Gentlemen.
00:15:27It is amazing
00:15:29how gently the press treats us so far.
00:15:32I'm afraid we can now
00:15:34wait for a chase.
00:15:36So we have to find out
00:15:38what has already been done.
00:15:40Especially what steps have been taken
00:15:42to find the body.
00:15:44We used radical means.
00:15:46After the third report
00:15:48about the disappearance of corpses,
00:15:50we closed the whole area
00:15:52in a radius of 100 km.
00:15:54We engaged all local forces.
00:15:56Additional air and road posts.
00:15:58Two radio units.
00:16:00All railway crossings,
00:16:02road exits,
00:16:04from the closed area
00:16:06were checked.
00:16:08Unfortunately, no results.
00:16:10Is that all?
00:16:12We caught five wanted
00:16:14for minor cases.
00:16:18Gentlemen.
00:16:20The possibility of escaping
00:16:22from the closed area
00:16:24is unlikely to exclude.
00:16:26You have to take this into account
00:16:28also for the future,
00:16:30colleague Gregory.
00:16:32You have to look widely.
00:16:34Take it also by the ports.
00:16:36Would any of you like
00:16:38to say anything else?
00:16:40If the next case
00:16:42happens between today
00:16:44and the end of next week,
00:16:46it will be in this sector.
00:16:48A large area.
00:16:50At least
00:16:52we have to eliminate
00:16:54the inner circle
00:16:56where the current cases took place.
00:16:58On the area
00:17:00there are
00:17:0218 hospitals
00:17:04and 116 small cemeteries.
00:17:06Are you sure it will happen?
00:17:08I'm not sure,
00:17:10but if it happens,
00:17:12it will happen here.
00:17:30Hello.
00:17:56Hello.
00:17:58No soda, of course.
00:18:04In such weather
00:18:06even women drink without soda.
00:18:08Here you are.
00:18:28I'm glad to see you, lieutenant.
00:18:30They say it's your second home.
00:18:32I haven't been here so often.
00:18:34The more I was lucky.
00:18:36Let's sit at my table.
00:18:52I decided to give you this case.
00:18:54I don't think
00:18:56I can give you this case.
00:18:58What about inspector Fackhardt?
00:19:00You will lead it yourself.
00:19:04I chose you
00:19:06not because of your special investigative skills,
00:19:08because you don't have them.
00:19:10You are not systematic either.
00:19:12It doesn't matter.
00:19:14But you are
00:19:16very involved in this problem, right?
00:19:18Yes.
00:19:22Do you have any concept of this case?
00:19:24Maybe even a private one?
00:19:26No. I mean...
00:19:28I'm listening.
00:19:30It's just an impression
00:19:32based on nothing.
00:19:34I don't think this case is about corpses.
00:19:36I mean, they play their role,
00:19:38but it's not about that.
00:19:40What is it about?
00:19:42It's a nasty case.
00:19:44There are elements you can't connect.
00:19:46And it's not because it's physically impossible,
00:19:48but because it results from them
00:19:50a psychological nonsense
00:19:52that you can't think of.
00:19:54Yes, if you mean...
00:19:56The concept of mania, psychopathy,
00:19:58delusion,
00:20:00this is the only way out,
00:20:02but it's also an illusion.
00:20:04Mania, very good,
00:20:06but this scale,
00:20:08iron logic,
00:20:10no, it's not a delusion or madness
00:20:12in common sense.
00:20:14It's not a madman.
00:20:16It's rather his opposite,
00:20:18someone overly intelligent.
00:20:20I was looking for this hypothesis.
00:20:22I don't understand, Inspector.
00:20:26That's what a French astronomer
00:20:28asked Napoleon.
00:20:30Why didn't he mention God in his work?
00:20:32A series of actions without a single touch.
00:20:34It's terrible.
00:20:36It scares me,
00:20:38because it's not human.
00:20:40This series is a mathematical perfection.
00:20:42Dr. Seuss proved it to us.
00:20:46A perfection that
00:20:48perhaps suggests
00:20:50that the investigator doesn't exist.
00:20:52What do you mean, doesn't exist?
00:20:56I scared you.
00:20:58And who makes day and night
00:21:00and day again?
00:21:04The accuracy of our series
00:21:06is impersonal,
00:21:08impersonal
00:21:10like the law of nature.
00:21:14In our case,
00:21:16it's the law of nature.
00:21:18An impersonal, invisible investigator
00:21:20is really great.
00:21:22In cemeteries,
00:21:24it's called the imitation of nature.
00:21:26Why am I laughing?
00:21:28Imitation?
00:21:30Of course.
00:21:32But so perfect
00:21:34that you will come back to me empty-handed.
00:21:38You are an investigator from Cotland Yard,
00:21:40the best police
00:21:42humanity has ever created.
00:21:44The Yard can't be afraid of any truth,
00:21:46even the worst one.
00:21:48That's why we have to reject all lies.
00:22:14Come in.
00:22:30Tell me everything you know, one by one.
00:22:32Williams was on duty since 3 p.m.
00:22:34He was supposed to be changed at 6 p.m.
00:22:36Around 6 p.m. some driver called
00:22:38and said that he hit a car
00:22:40with a policeman
00:22:42with a gun in his hand.
00:22:44He wanted to change him
00:22:46and he hit the car.
00:22:48Where is he?
00:22:50On the sidewalk.
00:22:52Dr. Adams looked at him
00:22:54and he had a broken head.
00:22:56What's with this Williams?
00:22:58Unconscious, lieutenant.
00:23:00Were you here when he was taken away?
00:23:02Was he conscious then?
00:23:04No, lieutenant.
00:23:06Did he bleed?
00:23:08A little from the head and ear, I think.
00:23:10Good.
00:23:12When you're done, come to the Yard.
00:23:14Maybe you'll find something there for you.
00:23:16Take him to the Yard.
00:23:20What was the Yard like?
00:23:22We had to go around
00:23:24and check the windows.
00:23:26How long did it take?
00:23:28About 10 minutes.
00:23:30They weren't moving?
00:23:32No one was moving.
00:23:34When the commandant came
00:23:36with the doctor,
00:23:38he was looking around
00:23:40but no one was moving.
00:23:42They told us to cover him with a blanket.
00:23:44The doctor wants to examine him.
00:23:46Who is he?
00:23:48Joe Hansel.
00:23:50He had a paint shop here.
00:23:52When did he die?
00:23:54Yesterday morning.
00:23:56On his heart.
00:23:58Only these bodies
00:24:00have been here since yesterday?
00:24:02Only these, lieutenant.
00:24:16Is that all?
00:24:18No, inspector.
00:24:20Not all.
00:24:22There are still traces.
00:24:24Please.
00:24:26Traces found
00:24:28around the Yard.
00:24:30Traces of William's constable.
00:24:32Traces of the boots
00:24:34of the lieutenant.
00:24:36One clear trace of the deceased
00:24:38under an open window.
00:24:40A trace of his fingers
00:24:42pointing to the wall.
00:24:44Deep.
00:24:46From the window to the door
00:24:48traces of crawling
00:24:50were found.
00:24:52Here and under the window
00:24:54between the bushes
00:24:56towards the stream
00:24:58individual traces of the cat.
00:25:00Oh, one more thing.
00:25:02The autopsy report
00:25:04points out that
00:25:06a post-mortem
00:25:08of the deceased
00:25:10was not preserved.
00:25:14That's all,
00:25:16inspector.
00:25:18What conclusions?
00:25:20The detective
00:25:22sneaked into the inn
00:25:24before 5 p.m.
00:25:26He probably hid
00:25:28behind an old coffin.
00:25:30Around 5 a.m.
00:25:32he took the body out of the coffin
00:25:34and started pushing the window
00:25:36until the glass broke
00:25:38and the window opened.
00:25:40William heard a noise
00:25:42and approached the window.
00:25:44Seeing the broken glass
00:25:46he took out his gun.
00:25:48Then the detective
00:25:50pushed the body through the window
00:25:52so that it looked like
00:25:54the body was moving by itself.
00:25:56William got scared
00:25:58and ran away.
00:26:00And the detective?
00:26:02The detective went out through the window
00:26:04and pulled the body to the door.
00:26:06Then something had to scare him.
00:26:08He threw the body
00:26:10and ran away.
00:26:12Which way?
00:26:14The path cut by William.
00:26:16Or the bottom of the stream.
00:26:18Anything else?
00:26:22That's all.
00:26:24But in the end
00:26:26I will decide what William will say.
00:26:28Do you have any news from the hospital?
00:26:30Still unconscious.
00:26:32Still.
00:26:36I'm listening, doctor.
00:26:38What are you expecting?
00:26:40Information.
00:26:43The death occurred
00:26:45more than 24 hours ago.
00:26:47Falling spots,
00:26:49full constipation.
00:26:51Go on.
00:26:53You saw it yourself.
00:26:55I'm not a doctor.
00:26:57There is no constipation.
00:26:59Someone had to break it.
00:27:06Lieutenant Gregory.
00:27:08Go and see
00:27:10how William will be.
00:27:12Can we talk to him?
00:27:14Excluded, lieutenant.
00:27:16I'm going straight from the hospital.
00:27:18Breaking the skull is still unconscious.
00:27:20Can you tell me how it was
00:27:22when you came here in the morning?
00:27:24The bodies were lying in front of the door
00:27:26with their heads to the threshold.
00:27:28You have to work out
00:27:30this reconstruction well
00:27:32because otherwise what is left for us
00:27:34as an alternative?
00:27:36And the guards were afraid of him.
00:27:38The first doubt
00:27:40was to push the bodies out
00:27:42through the window.
00:27:44The investigator had to change their position
00:27:46because they were stiff.
00:27:48Right?
00:27:50And he had to do it in the dark.
00:27:54Yes.
00:27:56How did he leave the footprints
00:27:58of the body under the window?
00:28:00It wasn't particularly difficult.
00:28:02You're wrong, lieutenant.
00:28:04It would be very difficult.
00:28:06He would have to do it
00:28:08unnoticed by William
00:28:10who was already observing
00:28:12the scene reflected by the glass.
00:28:16This is the weakest point
00:28:18of your reconstruction.
00:28:20William wouldn't run away
00:28:22if he saw the investigator.
00:28:24It was dark.
00:28:26He wouldn't run away from a man
00:28:28manipulating the bodies
00:28:30because he was waiting for such a man.
00:28:32He would shoot or not.
00:28:34Maybe he would try to catch him
00:28:36without using a weapon.
00:28:38But he wouldn't run away right away.
00:28:40Do you agree with me?
00:28:42Yes.
00:28:44If the body
00:28:46fell out of the window
00:28:48and the investigator was invisible
00:28:50let's say
00:28:52he would crouch behind the window
00:28:56then William wouldn't run away.
00:28:58He would wait with a weapon
00:29:00for what would happen.
00:29:02He would probably have
00:29:04a door and a window in his sight
00:29:06but he wouldn't run away.
00:29:08Do you agree with me, lieutenant?
00:29:12Yes.
00:29:14Let's go on.
00:29:16After William's escape
00:29:18the investigator came out of the window
00:29:20pulled the bodies
00:29:22then blew through the bushes
00:29:24and then through the stream.
00:29:26We think so, don't we?
00:29:28But why did he want to do it?
00:29:30Actually, he didn't do it.
00:29:32We both know it.
00:29:34But he did something strange.
00:29:36As a result, there are traces
00:29:38as if someone walked there
00:29:40on his arms and knees.
00:29:42Right?
00:29:46Yes.
00:29:48Why did he do it?
00:29:50Exactly.
00:29:54The situation is much worse
00:29:56than in our first conversation
00:29:58Mr. Inspector.
00:30:00I thought I had come to the end
00:30:02of this case
00:30:04when I allowed the existence
00:30:06of a human being
00:30:08only to make the police believe
00:30:10in the resurrection.
00:30:12But now even that is gone.
00:30:14He moved the bodies
00:30:16left them in the middle of the road
00:30:18something could have frightened him.
00:30:20But why?
00:30:22In a hole, a body on the ground?
00:30:24I don't understand it.
00:30:26I don't understand it.
00:30:28Neither in the category of criminal crime
00:30:30nor in the category of madness.
00:30:32Maybe he was frightened
00:30:34as you said.
00:30:36If so, we would have an explanation.
00:30:38It would be the first case
00:30:40of his stumbling
00:30:42not completing
00:30:44the planned action.
00:30:46He left the bodies
00:30:48because he lost his mind
00:30:50thinking, let's say, that the police are coming.
00:30:52William ran to the road.
00:30:54After a while
00:30:56the inspector saw the lights
00:30:58which stopped.
00:31:00This should be a pillar
00:31:02of your reconstruction.
00:31:04Or at least a rescue board.
00:31:06Wasn't he afraid of a policeman
00:31:08with a gun in his hand
00:31:10and was frightened of some far light?
00:31:12Gregory, are you
00:31:14fascinated by this man?
00:31:16How do you think?
00:31:18Because you will become his follower.
00:31:20Williams was not frightened of the bodies
00:31:22but of what happened to them.
00:31:26Something happened
00:31:30which made him panic.
00:31:34And the cat?
00:31:36Did you check it?
00:31:38Where did you get the present from?
00:31:40It was in the box.
00:31:42Did you go inside?
00:31:44Yes.
00:31:46I thought maybe inside...
00:31:48Did you think he was still there?
00:31:50Did you make a conclusion?
00:31:52Something was moving inside.
00:31:54When I lit it
00:31:56it was a cat.
00:32:00It's behind the door.
00:32:02Here you are.
00:32:16When I came in, it was still alive.
00:32:18When I took it, it was stiff.
00:32:20It was growling.
00:32:22Where did you find it?
00:32:24By the coffin.
00:32:26You will have an additional job.
00:32:30Thank you, sir.
00:32:32I would like to take Williams to the hospital in London.
00:32:34If anything happens, please let me know.
00:32:36He is very important to us.
00:32:38Of course.
00:32:40This is my last chance.
00:32:42How do you understand that?
00:32:44Every time there was a case
00:32:46of movement and then disappearance
00:32:48from the corpses,
00:32:50there was a dead cat
00:32:52near the coffin.
00:32:54There must be something going on here.
00:32:58Inspector, I propose
00:33:00to increase the supervision.
00:33:04We have already engaged a lot of forces and resources.
00:33:06We will lead to the fact
00:33:08that there will be no gap for him anymore.
00:33:10This man works with
00:33:12irregular regularity
00:33:14and we have to turn against him.
00:33:18Dr. Seas will help us
00:33:20by calculating where the next case
00:33:22may occur.
00:33:24Seas?
00:33:26I have his latest report here.
00:33:30He writes that he does not expect
00:33:32any more accidents.
00:33:34No?
00:33:36Yes.
00:33:38I mean, in his opinion,
00:33:40the series is over.
00:33:42It has been closed for a long time
00:33:44or forever.
00:33:46Dr. Seas claims so?
00:33:48On what basis?
00:33:50I don't know.
00:33:52He only writes that it requires
00:33:54a wider documentation on which he works
00:33:56and that he would prefer to refrain
00:33:58from explanations until the end of this work.
00:34:00Apparently, he knows more than us.
00:34:04Does he know all the results of the investigation?
00:34:06Yes.
00:34:08I gave them to him at his request.
00:34:12I decided that it was our duty.
00:34:16It allowed us to determine the place.
00:34:22Yes, of course.
00:34:24It changes the nature of things.
00:34:28I have no other choice than...
00:34:36Do you want to talk to Dr. Seas?
00:34:38Maybe.
00:34:40I would prefer
00:34:42you not to be so impatient,
00:34:44lieutenant.
00:34:46Anyway,
00:34:48don't be offended.
00:34:50Please.
00:34:52I will try, inspector.
00:34:56Goodbye.
00:35:00By the way,
00:35:02I don't know yet if I will talk to him.
00:35:10Goodbye.
00:35:18Do you recognize this place by any chance?
00:35:20Norfolk.
00:35:22The area where the corpses were stolen.
00:35:24No.
00:35:26This map shows the rate of mortality
00:35:28in England in the last 30 years.
00:35:30The area of Norfolk
00:35:34is the lowest rate of mortality.
00:35:36Lower than the average rate
00:35:38in the last half century.
00:35:42It overlaps with the borders
00:35:44of the area where the corpses were stolen.
00:35:46What do you mean?
00:35:48When the rate of mortality
00:35:50between this island
00:35:52and the surrounding areas
00:35:54exceeded a certain magnitude,
00:35:56the corpses began to disappear.
00:35:58This phenomenon spread from a minimum point
00:36:00like a wave
00:36:02at constant speed
00:36:04to a maximum.
00:36:06In the last case,
00:36:08it reached the borders of our area.
00:36:10However, the formula I derived
00:36:12from the data of the rate of mortality
00:36:14excludes the possibility
00:36:16of further cases of the disappearance
00:36:18of the corpses outside the designated area.
00:36:20On this basis,
00:36:22I have prepared the latest report
00:36:24for inspector Shepard.
00:36:26I understand.
00:36:28And what do you think
00:36:30is the cause of all these disappearances,
00:36:32Mr. Shepard?
00:36:34Neither you nor your superiors
00:36:36can come up with a reason
00:36:38to investigate
00:36:40who causes people to get cancer.
00:36:42Do you agree?
00:36:44You are certainly right.
00:36:46But is the phenomenon of the disappearances
00:36:48of the corpses
00:36:50fully understandable to you?
00:36:52Of course.
00:36:54There are a lot of things to study
00:36:56for biochemists,
00:36:58physiologists, biologists,
00:37:00these studies can last up to 50 years
00:37:02and give no definitive result.
00:37:04Just like cancer studies.
00:37:08Only my domain
00:37:10can give certain results at once.
00:37:12Statistics.
00:37:14And what place
00:37:16in your statistical explanation
00:37:18do these Padlina cats
00:37:20found around the bones take?
00:37:22Have you made a selection of these found cats?
00:37:24Yes.
00:37:26There were no poisons.
00:37:28And every time
00:37:30a natural death?
00:37:32More precisely, exhaustion.
00:37:34That's what I thought.
00:37:36Exhaustion.
00:37:38But what is the connection...
00:37:40In the simplest, but also
00:37:42the most primitive explanation,
00:37:44Mr. Derue,
00:37:46there would be a recognition of these animals
00:37:48as a kind of vehicle,
00:37:50as a carrier of the agent
00:37:52activating their corpses.
00:37:54Apparently, they feed on rats
00:37:56a kind of bacteria.
00:37:58I didn't say that.
00:38:00But in any case, as you say,
00:38:02a biological factor.
00:38:04And one that started to work
00:38:06with full recognition,
00:38:08like a conscious being.
00:38:10He didn't have only experience.
00:38:12He didn't know, for example,
00:38:14that a naked corpse,
00:38:16as if to say,
00:38:18awkwardly appears among people.
00:38:20There may be problems with that.
00:38:22So, activating the next
00:38:24he started to read.
00:38:26Because how else could he study
00:38:28meteorological reports?
00:38:30As you know very well.
00:38:32Have you seen it?
00:38:34No, I haven't.
00:38:36But I know what can scare
00:38:38an English constable.
00:38:40The dance of corpses.
00:38:42For him, it's still not a normal
00:38:44or ordinary phenomenon.
00:38:46Although it's been like that for science
00:38:48at least for a few days.
00:38:50You're convinced
00:38:52that I'm crazy, aren't you?
00:38:56And so you have me
00:38:58not as an idiot,
00:39:00as I assumed,
00:39:02but as a madman.
00:39:04And I'm in danger
00:39:06of either prison
00:39:08or psychiatric observation.
00:39:10Both possibilities are out of my hands.
00:39:12I've always felt sorry
00:39:14for the wasted time.
00:39:22Yes?
00:39:26Yes, I'm listening.
00:39:28What?
00:39:30Where?
00:39:32Yes, I'm here, Mr. Gregory.
00:39:34I'll repeat it to him.
00:39:38A body was found.
00:39:40One of those who disappeared
00:39:42was...
00:39:44Korn.
00:39:46Who called?
00:39:48Someone ate from you.
00:39:50I don't know. He introduced himself.
00:39:52I didn't hear.
00:39:54That would be right.
00:39:58They should find each other one by one.
00:40:00Do you think they'll come back?
00:40:02All of them?
00:40:04I don't know.
00:40:06It's possible, even probable.
00:40:08But if that happens,
00:40:10the whole series will close.
00:40:12It's true.
00:40:16You think I'm lying
00:40:18and I don't know
00:40:20what's going on.
00:40:22I'd like to draw your attention
00:40:24to the fact that I didn't
00:40:26formulate any suspicions
00:40:28or accusations.

00:41:36Good evening, Lieutenant.
00:41:38Mrs. Fairchild
00:41:40let me wait here for you.
00:41:42I thought she wouldn't be long.
00:41:44You can close the door.
00:41:46But, Inspector,
00:41:48I just need to tell you
00:41:50that I'd like to call you.
00:41:52You don't have to come now.
00:41:54Should I leave?
00:41:56No.
00:41:58But under no circumstances.
00:42:00Come with me.
00:42:02Please.
00:42:14Please.
00:42:20Please.
00:42:22We're not going to play
00:42:24with your money, Lieutenant.
00:42:26I think you've made a mistake
00:42:28by arranging this phone call
00:42:30about the alleged body.
00:42:32Did you want to check Sis' reaction?
00:42:34Yes.
00:42:36Yes, but you didn't learn anything.
00:42:38But Sis already knows
00:42:40that you suspect him.
00:42:42You warned him.
00:42:44Indeed, I acted like a fool.
00:42:48The only justification is
00:42:50that I don't believe in miracles.
00:42:52In this case, we all have to be
00:42:54unfaithful to Tomasz.
00:42:56It's a pitiful privilege of our profession.
00:42:58And besides,
00:43:00how did it go with Sis?
00:43:02Please make your own conclusions.
00:43:04I don't know how he came up
00:43:06with this analogy with cancer,
00:43:08but the existence of this island
00:43:10is a fact, first of all.
00:43:12Secondly, Sis assumes
00:43:14that the cancer virus transforms
00:43:16into a new form.
00:43:18That is, people stop suffering from cancer,
00:43:20but it still lives in their bodies.
00:43:22It finally gains
00:43:24completely new properties.
00:43:26From a cause of chaos
00:43:28it becomes a cause of a new plague.
00:43:30A posthumous one.
00:43:34That is, it tries to continue
00:43:36life processes in a definitively dead organism.
00:43:38The manifestation of this action
00:43:40is the movement of dead bodies.
00:43:42The dead cats in this theory
00:43:44are the bearers of a mysterious factor,
00:43:46a peculiar antibacterial agent
00:43:48used by the motor cells.
00:43:50By transferring energy to the body,
00:43:52they themselves
00:43:54end life.
00:43:56You still suspect him, don't you?
00:44:00It's not that I suspect him,
00:44:02Inspector.
00:44:04It would mean that I'm attacking,
00:44:06I'm just defending myself
00:44:08against the wonder of this matter.
00:44:10After all, if we continue to develop
00:44:12this type of hypothesis,
00:44:14we will come to the conclusion
00:44:16that the interference of the factor
00:44:18can be repeated cyclically.
00:44:20That the last decline in the incidence
00:44:22of cancer took place, for example,
00:44:242,000 years ago,
00:44:26not in England, but in Asia Minor,
00:44:28and a number of deaths occurred.
00:44:30You know, sir, and a few more.
00:44:32If we treat this story seriously,
00:44:34if they start to appear and disappear,
00:44:36everything will be possible.
00:44:38We must have the culprits.
00:44:40You're right.
00:44:42The bluff with the phone to Sis was my mistake,
00:44:44but thanks to that, I learned something.
00:44:46Yes?
00:44:48Sis said that he now expects
00:44:50a return to the body,
00:44:52or even more, that he can count
00:44:54when they appear.
00:44:56We must do everything
00:44:58to make this appearance
00:45:00occur at least once in the witnesses.
00:45:02You assume an alternative,
00:45:04Dr. Sis or the factor,
00:45:06and you immediately
00:45:08remove the second member, the factor.
00:45:10All that remains is
00:45:12vulgar fraud,
00:45:14macabre play in the funerals.
00:45:16What if
00:45:18none of the members is real?
00:45:20What if it's neither Sis
00:45:22nor the factor?
00:45:24What if it was done by someone
00:45:26who only
00:45:28invented,
00:45:30fabricated the factor,
00:45:32and then injected it with the body
00:45:34for the experiment?
00:45:36Do you believe that?
00:45:38Nonsense. No one invented anything.
00:45:40You suspect Sis.
00:45:42Above all, Sis.
00:45:44Sis is a loner.
00:45:46It's hard to say anything about a certain Malibu.
00:45:48We should have listened to him,
00:45:50but I didn't.
00:45:52That day when the body
00:45:54disappeared in Lewes,
00:45:56you remember, Sis was at my place.
00:45:58At your place?
00:46:00Yes.
00:46:02That's when I brought him in for cooperation.
00:46:04He left well after midnight.
00:46:06He wouldn't make it to Lewes
00:46:08for the third,
00:46:10maybe the fourth.
00:46:12I've known Sis for years.
00:46:14He's arrogant
00:46:16and egocentric,
00:46:18but I don't think he'd be able
00:46:20to such nightmarish games
00:46:22in space.
00:46:24Or maybe Sis is crazy.
00:46:26Or maybe he's a monomaniac.
00:46:28Or maybe he's suffering from a malnutrition.
00:46:30Or maybe he has a partner.
00:46:32Or maybe he's using his theory
00:46:34to cover up the real perpetrator.
00:46:36There are many options.
00:46:38Can you answer one question?
00:46:40What?
00:46:42Why don't you allow
00:46:44any other explanation than criminal?
00:46:46I've told you many times
00:46:48that an alternative is a miracle.
00:46:52Anyway, we have to investigate
00:46:54this case thoroughly.
00:47:00Oh, one more thing.
00:47:02In such a free moment,
00:47:04not as an exercise,
00:47:06maybe you'd like to follow
00:47:08and tell me
00:47:10what was creaking
00:47:12when we were talking.
00:47:14Because it wasn't a miracle, was it?
00:47:16And the floor creaked
00:47:18as if a third person was walking on it.
00:47:20Or maybe it just dried up.
00:47:22The floor?
00:47:24Please, don't be so surprised.
00:47:26You heard it too.
00:47:28Maybe even better than me.
00:47:32I'll show you the way.
00:47:34No, thank you.
00:47:36I remember the way.
00:47:38Good night, Lieutenant.
00:47:52Good night.
00:48:22Good night, Lieutenant.
00:48:24Good night.
00:48:52I'm listening.
00:48:56How have you been calling for half an hour?
00:48:58Don't overdo it.
00:49:00Of course I hear
00:49:02the body has been found.
00:49:04Name?
00:49:06Oh, it's the one from the operating room.
00:49:08Where?
00:49:10I feel bad.
00:49:12I think I have a flu.
00:49:14It's good that I'll be in the yard
00:49:16around one o'clock.
00:49:18It's good that I'll be in the yard
00:49:20around one o'clock.
00:49:34Maybe it doesn't matter.
00:49:36My plans have changed lately.
00:49:40I was at the doctor's.
00:49:44I've been feeling bad for a long time.
00:49:46Based on the average age
00:49:48of my parents,
00:49:50I thought I was 35.
00:49:52It turns out
00:49:54I'm much younger.
00:49:58I don't know
00:50:00if I'll continue
00:50:02this hypothesis.
00:50:06I don't like it.
00:50:08I don't have time.
00:50:10Your people are useless.
00:50:12It's not an investigation.
00:50:14It's a scientific work.
00:50:16It has nothing to do
00:50:18with criminology.
00:50:20No crime has been committed.
00:50:22It's like when a meteor
00:50:24kills a man.
00:50:28Lieutenant Gregor Steve.
00:50:30Nice to meet you.
00:50:32Welcome.
00:50:34You're a writer.
00:50:36I'm sure you'll be interested.
00:50:38What about the statistics
00:50:40on natural cemeteries?
00:50:42There's nothing supernatural in it.
00:50:44I can give it to you.
00:50:46In that case, I don't want it.
00:50:48When is it interesting?
00:50:50The resurrector doesn't kill,
00:50:52it resurrects.
00:50:54It's a very nice arbor.
00:50:56And completely irrational.
00:50:58Irrational? Nonsense.
00:51:00Since the police
00:51:02are a product of common sense,
00:51:04we can't think otherwise,
00:51:06because it would unify them.
00:51:08The police must even
00:51:10explain the world to the end.
00:51:12And everything that doesn't fit
00:51:14should be rejected,
00:51:16or silenced.
00:51:18Please simplify the case.
00:51:20I haven't finished yet.
00:51:22I claim that
00:51:24the arbor, the cemetery,
00:51:26the corpses are only exciting.
00:51:28The accessories are important.
00:51:30There's a rule we have to read.
00:51:32But the police
00:51:34focus only
00:51:36on the extraneous circumstances.
00:51:40I think I understand.
00:51:42In your opinion,
00:51:44the fact that a lot of angels
00:51:46are resurrected is already explained.
00:51:48The only question is,
00:51:50why does everyone do it separately?
00:51:52For example, Mr. Gregory doesn't believe in the virus,
00:51:54so what?
00:51:56But he believes.
00:51:58Even in the fact that it's a special virus.
00:52:00He likes darkness and emptiness,
00:52:02that's why he operates at night,
00:52:04in the back alleys.
00:52:06He avoids the police like fire.
00:52:08He doesn't like stray dogs,
00:52:10especially dead cats.
00:52:12He has a great fondness
00:52:14for meteorological reports.
00:52:16These are general signs
00:52:18that many inspectors
00:52:20could fit into your letter.
00:52:22I'm just a lieutenant.
00:52:24I'm sorry, lieutenant.
00:52:26For example,
00:52:28those who throw stones at the ground.
00:52:30Meteors also fall most often
00:52:32in the back alleys,
00:52:34away from the human and police eyes.
00:52:36Meteors fall and viruses act.
00:52:38But the fact that such phenomena
00:52:40can be imitated by someone alive
00:52:42and specific...
00:52:44Sisk is right.
00:52:46The existence of truth
00:52:48is not a matter of success or failure for you,
00:52:50but the sense or nonsense of action.
00:52:52In a word,
00:52:54I'm an obsessionate,
00:52:56a victim of an obsessive mania,
00:52:58a madman
00:53:00who goes against the facts.
00:53:02The press is now waiting
00:53:04for the revelation of this constable
00:53:06who escaped from the alley
00:53:08and got into the car.
00:53:10Do you also expect a lot
00:53:12from these statements?
00:53:14No.
00:53:16I knew it.
00:53:18If, when you wake up,
00:53:20this policeman says
00:53:22that he saw the dead
00:53:24in his own eyes,
00:53:26you will consider
00:53:28that you cannot believe
00:53:30the testimony of a man
00:53:32and that only the barabashes exist.
00:53:34Even if you saw this scene
00:53:36with your own eyes,
00:53:38even if you heard the words
00:53:40of Lazarus, get up,
00:53:42you will be yourself.
00:53:44Yourself, I mean,
00:53:46a victim of hallucinations
00:53:48or delusions
00:53:50or...
00:53:52deceptive deception.
00:53:54So I'm one of the guards
00:53:56guarding the Holy Grave.
00:53:58That's what it turns out to be.
00:54:00The Holy Grave must be the grave
00:54:02and the guards must be the guards.
00:54:04You've changed everything in literature.
00:54:06And this is about facts.
00:54:08Facts only exist where there are no people.
00:54:10When they appear,
00:54:12there is only interpretation.
00:54:28Thank you for the escort.
00:54:30I think it must be said.
00:54:34I would like to apologize to you.
00:54:36There's nothing to talk about.
00:54:40Please accept this.
00:54:42I am very sorry
00:54:44that I allowed myself such a thought.
00:54:46I probably made fun of you.
00:54:48You are a good policeman.
00:54:54You're welcome.
00:55:08You belong to people
00:55:10who are subject to diametrically contradictory judgments.
00:55:12Hot or cold.
00:55:14It doesn't matter.
00:55:18I just found out
00:55:20why you resigned
00:55:22from your post at the General Staff.
00:55:34Please, have a seat.
00:55:36I've heard a few versions.
00:55:44Please.
00:56:04Let's have some coffee.
00:56:06Actually, I hate alcohol.
00:56:08I hate alcohol.
00:56:10I feel dizzy.
00:56:12I'm very sorry.
00:56:16I'll make some coffee.
00:56:38You don't have a wife.
00:56:40No.
00:56:42Why do you ask?
00:56:46I just wanted to know.
00:56:48I'm sorry.
00:56:50It doesn't matter.
00:56:52It's an outdated institution.
00:56:56I don't know about the children.
00:56:58If you wanted to know,
00:57:00you would have told me.
00:57:02I'm sorry.
00:57:04I don't know about the children.
00:57:06If you wanted to know,
00:57:08you would have told me.
00:57:12I don't like this lottery of genes.
00:57:16You must have had a lot of bad experiences.
00:57:24Why did you stop suspecting me?
00:57:28I couldn't give you any motive.
00:57:30That's why I gave up.
00:57:36You know what?
00:57:38Maybe I could give you a motive
00:57:40you didn't consider.
00:57:42I'm curious.
00:57:44Let's say it was about
00:57:46hiding Nieboszczyk.
00:57:48My victims, for example.
00:57:52To make the situation
00:57:54and hiding of the body
00:57:56more unusual,
00:57:58I made a move
00:58:00in which my real victim
00:58:04will meet the mole.
00:58:08What do you think?
00:58:10It's too literary.
00:58:12It's not an argument.
00:58:14Besides, I'm sorry,
00:58:16it's hard to do
00:58:18and too risky.
00:58:20Did you check the calendar
00:58:22and the map of my movements?
00:58:24Did you check the prints
00:58:26and the traces?
00:58:28I immediately calmed down
00:58:30because the mosaic didn't fit.
00:58:32You know,
00:58:34I'm not very systematic in the investigation.
00:58:36I improvise.
00:58:42Inspector Shepard said
00:58:44you were with him
00:58:46when Leves' body disappeared.
00:58:48So you have an alibi.
00:58:50If we lived in the time of the Inquisition,
00:58:52you would have achieved your goal.
00:58:54What are you trying to say?
00:58:56I'm not resistant to pain.
00:59:00With torture you would squeeze
00:59:02every confession out of me.
00:59:04You would break my bones.
00:59:06But you would save
00:59:08your spiritual order
00:59:12and even inner peace.
00:59:18Did you do it?
00:59:22Yes.
00:59:24Very good.
00:59:26I didn't know you were interested in art.
00:59:30It's on your desk, isn't it?
00:59:34Yes.
00:59:38I used to enjoy it.
00:59:40I have a lot of it.
00:59:42Do you want to see it?
00:59:44I'd love to.
00:59:52Here you are.
00:59:54As much as you want.
01:00:08Are there also men here?
01:00:10Yes.
01:00:12According to the statistics,
01:00:14there are a little less than 50 percent.
01:00:16According to the statistics,
01:00:18there are a little less than 50 percent.
01:00:22Anything else?
01:00:26Go ahead.
01:00:30You have to connect
01:00:32me, these photographs,
01:00:34the bodies in the space.
01:00:36What else do you need?
01:00:38Confessions?
01:00:40Confessions?
01:00:42Why are you making it up?
01:00:44Let me help you.
01:00:46Yes, it's me.
01:00:48I confess.
01:00:50It's me.
01:00:52It's you, you rationalist fool.
01:00:54It's me.
01:00:56I took the bodies.
01:00:58I played with them like dolls.
01:01:00Why?
01:01:02Because I liked it.
01:01:04I'm sorry.
01:01:10Goodbye, sir.
01:01:22I'm sorry you had to wait for me.
01:01:26Hello, sir.
01:01:28Hello.
01:01:30Apparently, you finally got
01:01:32the confession of Dr. Sis.
01:01:34You already know?
01:01:36As far as I know,
01:01:38you stopped suspecting him.
01:01:42This time completely
01:01:44and with a deep conviction,
01:01:46as you said.
01:01:48That's right.
01:01:50He convinced me once and for all
01:01:52what a fool I am.
01:01:54I got attached to this poor Sis
01:01:56because I didn't have anyone else
01:01:58in my life.
01:02:00Maybe I wanted to compromise him.
01:02:04Or maybe it was his look.
01:02:08But it all didn't make sense.
01:02:10In the end, I don't know anything
01:02:12about this man.
01:02:14What do you want to do next?
01:02:16I'm thinking.
01:02:18A few weeks ago,
01:02:20I doped you all,
01:02:22and the so-called opinion
01:02:24didn't work out as I feared.
01:02:28A few articles,
01:02:30in which the case was added
01:02:32to the flying spots,
01:02:34and that's it.
01:02:36We were left with this case
01:02:38on our own, lieutenant.
01:02:40We could have put it off
01:02:42as soon as possible.
01:02:44If the inspector decides so.
01:02:46Listen to what Williams says.
01:02:48The recording was made at his request.
01:02:50Unfortunately, the sound
01:02:52is not of the best quality.
01:02:54Please sit down as close as possible.
01:03:00May I speak now,
01:03:02inspector?
01:03:04Doctor, may I speak now?
01:03:06Once,
01:03:08when I left,
01:03:10he was still lying
01:03:12with his hands folded as he should.
01:03:14But the second time...
01:03:20No.
01:03:50No.
01:04:12I could have touched him,
01:04:14inspector.
01:04:16It was closer than to this table.
01:04:18But...
01:04:20he was no longer in the window.
01:04:22Only the windows in the empty coffin
01:04:24lit up.
01:04:26And then I heard him
01:04:28walking all drunk
01:04:30and knocking.
01:04:32Like a blind stick.
01:04:34He was knocking with his hands.
01:04:36I said,
01:04:38stop, what are you doing?
01:04:40And he was knocking all the time.
01:04:42About the wall, about himself,
01:04:44about the wall again.
01:04:46I told him,
01:04:48don't get up.
01:04:50I told him not to get up,
01:04:52because he's dead.
01:04:54And he didn't live.
01:04:56At first I thought
01:04:58he didn't die and woke up.
01:05:00But he wasn't alive.
01:05:02He had no eyes.
01:05:04He couldn't see anything.
01:05:06And he didn't feel anything.
01:05:08If he could feel,
01:05:10he wouldn't be knocking
01:05:12on the boards.
01:05:14Do you remember
01:05:16our conversation
01:05:18in this office
01:05:20about order?
01:05:22About the natural order of things?
01:05:24You can imitate it,
01:05:26you said.
01:05:28No, you said it.
01:05:30Me?
01:05:34And if there's nothing to imitate?
01:05:36If the world
01:05:38is not a puzzle lying in front of us,
01:05:40but a soup in which
01:05:42pieces are floating from time to time,
01:05:44sticking together randomly?
01:05:46If everything is fragmented,
01:05:48undelivered, fragmented?
01:05:50Events have only
01:05:52an end, no beginning,
01:05:54or only a middle, or only a back and a front?
01:05:58And we are constantly putting together,
01:06:00collecting these scraps
01:06:02in some sense?
01:06:04Maybe we are also only temporary?
01:06:08I mean, sometimes we disappear,
01:06:10and then we become
01:06:12some rapid chicken again.
01:06:14Do you think that God
01:06:16also exists only sometimes?
01:06:20Maybe.
01:06:24And the breaks in his existence are too long.
01:06:30I'm sorry.
01:06:34Maybe I'll go now.
01:06:36You don't have time, lieutenant.
01:06:38No, I do, but
01:06:40it's probably enough for the plot.
01:06:42Do you know the car of Mayler?
01:06:46A transport company?
01:06:48Does Mayler reach everywhere?
01:06:50Yes, I know.
01:06:52Let me read it to you.
01:06:58Yesterday, the truck of the company
01:07:00Mayler Company
01:07:02was hit by a freight train.
01:07:04The driver who entered
01:07:06the tracks despite
01:07:08the red light
01:07:10and the barrier
01:07:12died on the spot.
01:07:16There were no victims in the train service.
01:07:20As far as I know,
01:07:22the yard doesn't deal
01:07:24with such matters.
01:07:26Mayler has about 100 trucks.
01:07:28They transport food,
01:07:30mainly meat and fish, in refrigerated cars.
01:07:32They drive at night
01:07:34to deliver goods in the morning.
01:07:36They drive in any weather.
01:07:40Have you ever driven a car
01:07:42in such thick fog?
01:07:44Yes, I have. And?
01:07:46So you know how exhausting it is
01:07:50to look into the liquid milk
01:07:52in front of the window for hours.
01:07:54The width of the road
01:07:56is felt only by intuition.
01:08:00The fog absorbs the light of the headlights.
01:08:02You don't know
01:08:04whether you're going forward,
01:08:06to the side or up.
01:08:08The fog flows,
01:08:10moves,
01:08:12the eyes close with tears.
01:08:14And that's how you drive,
01:08:16leaking sweat
01:08:18in a one-stop
01:08:20engine rumbling,
01:08:22instead falling asleep
01:08:24and waking up with a spasmodic
01:08:26shiver.
01:08:28You force yourself to shake
01:08:30to get out of the lights.
01:08:32You stop the car.
01:08:34It gets out.
01:08:36It cools your face with snow.
01:08:38You drive on.
01:08:40Hours pass.
01:08:42Still in the fog.
01:08:44Milk.
01:08:46Liquid milk.
01:08:48Endless white
01:08:50pouring out.
01:08:52As if there were never
01:08:54ordinary roads,
01:08:56illuminated streets,
01:08:58you are alone
01:09:00in the void
01:09:02flooded with fog.
01:09:04You drive for an hour,
01:09:06two, maybe three
01:09:08until it becomes
01:09:10unbearable.
01:09:12Unable to overcome.
01:09:14And you already know
01:09:16what to do
01:09:18now.
01:09:20You stop the car.
01:09:22It gets out.
01:09:24It gets out.
01:09:26What are you saying?
01:09:30218 drivers
01:09:32work at the base.
01:09:34In such a crowd
01:09:36there will always be one
01:09:38who is
01:09:40a little different.
01:09:44What happened
01:09:46always in the morning
01:09:48in the corners of small towns
01:09:50differed in individual cases
01:09:52but there was always
01:09:54this bond
01:09:56uniting them all.
01:09:58This justice
01:10:00which could not
01:10:02be planned by man,
01:10:04by any man.
01:10:08But external circumstances
01:10:10could impose it.
01:10:12First, the layout of the road.
01:10:14Second, the weather.
01:10:18Third, the fact that
01:10:20the activity of the fog
01:10:22causing erosion
01:10:24must always be
01:10:26approximately the same
01:10:28for at least two hours.
01:10:32So some paranoid driver
01:10:34drove at night,
01:10:36stopped the car,
01:10:38stole the bodies, right?
01:10:40And what did he do with them?
01:10:42In the morning, when he left the fog zone,
01:10:44he regained consciousness.
01:10:46He was again in the ordinary world.
01:10:48He was trying to get rid of
01:10:50this trace of a crazy night.
01:10:52The memory of his actions,
01:10:54the fear of discovery,
01:10:56the growing suspicion
01:10:58of his surroundings.
01:11:00All of this had to
01:11:02worsen his condition.
01:11:04He lived in constant tension.
01:11:06I imagine that
01:11:08with increasing difficulty
01:11:10he regained consciousness.
01:11:12He was driving the car
01:11:14with diminishing attention.
01:11:16It was a coincidence.
01:11:18For example, this one.
01:11:20And is it supposed to be true?
01:11:22No, but it could be.
01:11:24To be more specific,
01:11:26it may be true.
01:11:30Because what is true?
01:11:32Do you remember the author
01:11:34of this bomb?
01:11:36No, I don't.
01:11:38He should be our patron.
01:11:40Unfortunately, there is no good press.
01:11:42I understand.
01:11:46It's very difficult, you know.
01:11:48Very.
01:11:50The perpetrator is alive,
01:11:52but he is not alive.
01:11:54You can't even examine him or listen to him.
01:11:56It's a very humanitarian solution.
01:11:58The mistake of justice
01:12:00is excluded.
01:12:02No one will suffer.
01:12:04Would you like to adjust
01:12:06the elements that are available
01:12:08to you?
01:12:12Out of a simple sense of duty
01:12:14you wanted to close an open case.
01:12:16I don't see an alternative.
01:12:18You wanted to help me.
01:12:24You couldn't do anything,
01:12:26but now you can.
01:12:28The investigation starts from a dead point.
01:12:30From the dead.
01:12:32Lieutenant.
01:12:34Yes, Mr. Inspector?
01:12:36We need to establish a date.
01:12:38As before, after lunch?
01:12:40After lunch.
01:12:42Will you come?
01:12:44Of course.
01:12:46The final report
01:12:48should, after all,
01:12:50turn into something
01:12:52with the appearance of a raid.
01:12:54Do you understand?
01:12:56Yard would not submit another report.
01:12:58Besides, not only Yard.
01:13:00Exactly.
01:13:02We also have to
01:13:04close it somehow.
01:13:32.
01:13:34.
