They made me move some

filthy boxes in the factory.

I am from the Police. You are Mrs...

It's about your daughter...

When did you last see her?

It was well over a year ago.

I don't remember.

She was your daughter, how can you

not remember where you last saw her?

Okay, Did she have any friends?

No. She watched the trains whole day.

She was retarded.

Did he have any friends?

Who? What were their names?

Did he have any habits?

- The Electrichka.

Say it again?

- He rode the Electrichka.

He rode the trains for fun?

- All the time.

He finds them on Electrichka!

He finds them on Electrichka.

I know it.

Electrichka, The trains that criss cross rural Russia.

- I know what they are, Comrade.

I don't ride them, but they do sometimes

get in the way of my limousine.

If I was hesitant to my reaction

which had only to do with a vague unease.

About what?

The fact that you was only been the detective

for 48 hours ...

and your intution is already

so highly devolped.

Are you a genius or just given

to power of enthusiasm?

I know the killer's method.

He picks up young people on the trains.

I've been to the station. They're all there.

The naive, the

weak, the retarded.

It's over. He has confessed.

- What?

- Who confessed?

Somebody from the institution of Statsi.

A Gypsy.

He is gonna show them the murder sights now.

Mr. What is your problem?

Don't you remember what you told us?

They are coaching him.

- They are very experienced detectives.

Here it is, this is were I killed her.

Again you f***ed up.

This is how manyth time? Twelve?

He goes for an appointment with the

Spring suppliers on Tuesday.

Come back Thursday, saying ...

it went fine and on Monday

I hear that he never saw him.

Never showed up.

Have you any explanation

for your miserable performance?

I am going to take you down and show you to

workers on the line ...

see what they think of you.

This is the man who stopped

the chain of supply,

this is the man who

stopped our work today

You have no where to go?

Are you Hungry?

I hope this latest

murder puts to rest the idea

that the gypsy boy did it.

Why?

Because he was in custody

when this one was killed.

So what? It could be a

gang of which he was only a part

We can't disount that man

as a suspect so quickly.

He did confess.

I have some requests to make,

we have 16 bodies and we know ...

that there are more of them. In my opinion

it's a state of emergency.

And for that reason I have to ask

for more men, a lot more.

I have also need computers, so that I can

start the library of information about the case

and I need to

communicate with the FBI
