But you haven't eaten anything. Try potatoes at least, they are homegrown.

Thank you, I am sated. I am simply very tired.

I'll show you the way.

Thank you.

Here is the towel. Be comfortable.

Thank you.

Who is this?

You know, I don't know. After we have bought the house Victor found it in the attic and hung here.

Good night.

Good night.

Excuse me. You are being picked up.

My name is Anna. Forgive me I couldn't collect you in the museum - I had a flat tire.

If you didn't change your mind, I can take you to the town now.

I am sorry, could you take me to Perebrodino?

You need to get to the station?

Yes, I need to get to Moscow.

Two trains stop at Perebrodino: from Adler and Tbilisi.

Very good.

Has something upset you?

Upset? No...I am rather surprised.

Tell me has somebody predicted your future?

Mine? No...But I have read that French doctor Nostradamus predicted Hitler in XVI century.

Somebody is following us. They signal us to stop.

Comrade Varakin?

Yes.

I ask you to get into our car.

We have gotten new information. Some things have to be cleared up.

Do you recognize this?

It is me.

Absolutely right. The photo was found among the papers of dead cook Nikolaev.

How did he get it?

We would like to know that too.

You told me that you have never known the cook.

No...never.

So how can you explain this: "To my dear father from Makhmud."?

What, what?

It means that you are cook's son Makhmud.

What nonsense...what son, what Makhmud?

The examination has proven that your hand writing and the writing on the photograph are identical.

Listen, it is some misunderstanding. I have never seen this cook. My father is Varakin Mikhail...Alekseevich.

He has never been a cook. He is an engineer!

So how can we explain that the photograph with your writing was founded at Nikolaev's?

I don't know...

But may be you have met the cook before?

Never. I swear to you. Never!

I have to make sure you aren't going to leave.

How can it be? This is a mistake.

Don't you worry. We will solve everything.

I have to go to Moscow!

I have to make sure you aren't going to leave. But you can appeal against my actions.

Varakin Aleksey Mikhailovich?

Yes.

A public prosecutor is speaking to you...

Who?

The public prosecutor of this town. Get down, there is a car waiting for you there.

Good day, Aleksey Mikhailovich.

Hello.

Please.

Thank you.

I am familiar with the case, regarding witch you wanted to see me.

Strange case...

You see...It is some misunderstanding. I have nothing to do with that incident, I was there accidentally.

I need to go to Moscow urgently.

Aleksey Mikhailovich...have you ever wanted to commit a crime?

Why?

Just because. To commit something illegal. Well, I don't know...to steal the tape recorder?
