Fisher

Mayoral candidate debates are approaching, and Valentina Ivanovna demands that the murder suspect be found and put behind bars immediately. Meanwhile Yevgeny Bokov and Vanya Zlobin investigate a new crime at the local apiary, and Nadezhda Raykina learns a terrible secret about her younger sister. Soon the investigators get a solid lead — but what if it’s a false trail?

While Bokov goes it alone using a decoy to catch the criminal, Kozyrev in Moscow takes on Fisher’s interrogation. Meanwhile, another brutal murder occurs in the southern town, but the police still don’t know whether it’s connected to the child abductions. Young investigator Zlobin is home less and less, and a desperate Dina plans to go out without her husband. Kurortnoye has become extremely dangerous, but the residents don’t know it — except for the police, the mayor, and a few parents whose daughters vanished without a trace.

After the tragic night, the police organize a search for the missing mother and her older daughter, and seasoned investigator Yevgeny Bokov helps his young colleague cope with the stress. Meanwhile, on the shore of the Black Sea, visitors from Moscow discuss an illegal deal and anticipate pulling off a big score. The resort town becomes unsafe, and the mayor gives Nadezhda Raykina a hard ultimatum — find the criminal within 48 hours.

While Fischer has not yet been sentenced to death, Prosecutor’s Office investigator Yevgeny Bokov tries to get him to talk. They need to find out how many crimes the serial killer actually committed and where to search for one of the boys’ bodies. Meanwhile, somewhere in the mountains of southern Russia a terrible car crash occurs. At the crash site they find a bag stuffed with dollars, and acting police chief Nadezhda Raykina and investigator Zlobin take the case. On the very first day the investigation hits a dead end, and Bokov receives a letter asking for help from a desperate stranger.

Suspect Makurin has been caught, but investigators are waiting for a new terrible find. Meanwhile, Zhenya Bokova is getting worse, and Igor Maltsev's father decides to publish a devastating article about the investigation.

The main suspect escapes from the investigators, and another child disappears in the area.

The next victim of the maniac becomes a teenager from a local pioneer camp, and the only witness again turns out to be ten-year-old Igor Maltsev.

1986, Moscow region. A mutilated body of a child is found in the area of government dachas. Three investigators take on a case that will change each of them forever.
