00:00 Double game Grigory Kovelenov asks detectives to put his future daughter-in-law Lika under surveillance to find out if she is right for his son Kostya. The girl allegedly behaves provocatively and is rude. Recently, a man approached her in a restaurant. He treated her as if she were a prostitute and knew him. An escort service number was found in Lika's mobile phone. The client knows that his daughter-in-law came from some backwater town. It is unclear how she lived while she was a student. Their son got her a good job as a secretary. The detectives put Lika under surveillance. During her lunch break, the girl goes to a cafe, where she meets a man, whom she warmly greets and hugs. On the street, Kostya, the client's son, approaches the assistant who is watching Lika and interrogates him about why he is following his fiancée. The boss, having called the escort service whose number the client gave him, heads to the meeting. The service's office is in a hotel. The boss leafs through the catalog, where he finds a photo of Lika. Seizing the moment, the boss takes a copy of the photos. He agrees with the employee that he can see Lika on Saturday at the hotel. The next day, he sees Lika in the hotel lobby. Only she is dressed much more frivolously: high boots, a short skirt, a colored synthetic fur coat. She takes money from a man and goes up to his room with him. Having waited for the man, the boss gets the girl's phone number from him. The detective's assistants arrive at the client's house, where they show the photos to the client and his wife, as well as their son and his chosen one. The latter assures that she knows nothing. The next day, the client's son bursts into the boss's office and makes a scandal. He believes that the photos are fabricated. The boss calls the "prostitute" and arranges a meeting with her at a hotel. Kostya and Lika also arrive there. The meeting takes place at the appointed time. The two girls stand opposite each other. The detectives are confused, since the girls are as similar as two peas in a pod. It turns out that Kostya's father, wanting to prevent the marriage, organized a fake Lika, having met a girl in a brothel who looked like his future daughter-in-law. 27:40 Deserter Alexander Khokhlov approached the detectives. His son, Zhenya, ran away from the military unit where he served. Zhenya must be found before the military prosecutor's office does, and persuaded to return and confess. Alexander Khokhlov assumed that Zhenya's fiancée might know where he is. In addition, Zhenya's mother might also know where he is - perhaps she is hiding her son, fearing justice, and thus only aggravating the situation. It turned out that Zhenya's mother is seriously ill. According to doctors, she has no more than three months to live. Zhenya's mother is a wealthy woman: she owns a chain of pharmacies. Meanwhile, Alexander Khokhlov is not Zhenya's biological father, but his stepfather, and the relationship between them has always been cool. The reason for Zhenya's escape from the army was an anonymous letter, which said that his girlfriend was expecting a child from another and was getting married. Is this really true, who wrote the mysterious letter and who needs to turn Zhenya into a deserter? 54:54 Poisoning Case Inna Gerasimova contacts the detectives.
