Child 44 Page #4

they have something on her

that I don't know about,

I don't find or...

Obviously, we are all guilty

by association, regardless.

What did you expect when you came here?

That we didn't mind dying?

That Raisa would be saved?

But if you don't denounce her,

we will die. All four of us.

But the only difference,

that you would die knowing in your heart

that you did the right thing.

And so you calculate.

One dead. Or four.

One dead. Or four.

Are you expecting somebody?

It's Raisa. She always

eats with us on Wednesdays.

- Anna.

- Oh, Raisa.

Good to see you.

He was working nearby.

For once we can eat as a family.

How was school?

- Good.

- Good.

And you've come here...

Did you walk straight from work?

Normally, I would be,

but I had a doctor's appointment...

- Doctor's appointment?

- ...at the Kuzminski Prospekt. Yes.

You sick?

- All right?

- Yes.

- Not sick?

- No.

Why do you go doctor?

I wanted to tell you

when we're on our own.

Why?

We are all family here.

We don't keep secrets from one another.

I'm pregnant.

That's wonderful news.

Congratulations.

- Excuse me.

- We are going to be grandparents.

What?

Kuzmin sent us. We're here to help.

Very nice apartment.

What are you doing?

There is better way than that.

That is not the way.

You feel the cushions.

You think it was me, don't you?

But no one ever listens to me.

Don't you know that?

Ivan, please!

Ivan, please!

Gentlemen, please.

She teaches domestic arts. Sewing.

What could she have possibly...

It's fine, it's fine.

Purse.

They took one of my colleagues today.

Eva. Friend of mine.

Do you know whose name...

ended up on my desk?

Can you imagine?

- No.

- No?

You. You have been named.

Do you want to know by who?

Anatoly Brodsky.

Do you know him?

Does it matter?

Yes, it matters.

It matters to me.

They asked me...

to denounce you.

Raisa,

are you a spy?

No.

No.

You do know what happens

to us now, right?

Yes.

It's just our turn.

Demidov, you asked

for the autopsy report.

- I was forbidden to show it to you.

- Doesn't matter. It's not important now.

I thought you might want to know.

There's been another one.

- Another what?

- A train accident.

What is it?

Two boys. Found by the tracks.

Both naked. Same cause of death.

- Which is?

- Drowning.

- Drowning?

- But there are no rivers, no lakes

next to the places

where they were found.

And around the iris, hemorrhaging.

As with strangulation.

There's one big difference

between the boys.

- What's that?

- Jora Andreyevich,

he had visual signs of trauma.

As if by torture.

Cuts, Leo. Targeted. Not random.

It was almost with surgical precision.
