Correct Answers

Kostya: ... Hmm, good work. Alright, Nikita, see you tomorrow.

Nikita: Of course, I'll see you tomorrow. With the evidence collection from the garage, I'm sure we'll get this guy.

The Next Day

Kostya: Nikita... What the -

*Look confused*

Nikita: Huh???

Kostya: Yesterday, you said you submitted the evidence from the garage. You said it would link us to the killer.

Nikita: Yeah, I know. I did just that. I found many examples of foreign DNA and hair strands in the garage.

Kostya: Well, then where the hell is it?

Nikita: I submitted the evidence I gathered yesterday! Then I went home!

Kostya: None of it is here, Nikita.

Nikita: Kostya, I swear I brought everything here, it was all accounted for...

Kostya: You can't even admit your own mistakes. Anyway, don't let this happen again.

*Remain motionless*

Later That Evening

Nikita: What... a day.

Pavel: What happened?

Nikita: Some idiots at the station misplaced all of the evidence I brought to them...

Pavel: What!? That's terrible... Your peers are so incompetent.

Nikita: Tell me about it, and then I got blamed for all of it too.

*Pavel thinks*

Pavel: You got blamed?

Nikita: Kostya was so mad, and he had no proof that I lost anything at all.

Pavel: Brother...

Nikita: Yeah?

Pavel: I'm curious about something. I'll get back to you in a couple of days.

Nikita: Alright, I'm too tired to even ask you what it is. But, I'll see you tomorrow.

Pavel: Yep, see you then.

*Pavel puts on his jacket and exits*

Two Days Later

Pavel: Brother... I have some terrible news for you. I know why your team is so incompetent.

*Give your brother a strange look*

Pavel: Brother, you cannot go back to work. It's not an option.

Nikita: Hold on, what's going on...? What did you find?

Pavel: It's not what I found... It's what I saw... and what I overheard.

Nikita: Please don't tell me this is what I think it is.

Pavel: A man in a black raincoat was talking to Kostya and asked him if Lev was taken care of... Then Kostya received a large briefcase from the man in the raincoat.

Nikita: WHAT!? Kostya got paid to cover up the murder on Lev???

Pavel: Yes, I am assuming that the Russian mob has him on their payroll. Additionally, I did some digging on Lev. Apparently, Lev was trying to put some men from the mob behind bars.

Nikita: What in the hell did I get myself into...? Kostya said he wanted me to stay late tomorrow, too...

Pavel: THEY ARE GOING TO KILL YOU, NIKITA.

Nikita: Because I know that it was a murder and that there was a cover-up... This is bad.

Pavel: We need to leave the city at once.

Nikita: I need to tell Maya. I love her, I don't want to just disappear.

Pavel: Niki... it's just a girl... This is your life we are talking about.

Nikita: Brother... I just have to tell her. I have to.

*Pavel looks worried*

Pavel: Alright, but tomorrow... we leave for sure.

Nikita: I'll call her now.

*Call Maya*

*Wait for the phone to ring*

*Pavel brings his hand to his head*

Pavel: She's not answering, is she?

Nikita: Nope... It's way too late, she's definitely in bed by now.

I'll try again tomorrow... and if no one answers... well, then that's that, and we leave Moscow.

Pavel: Yeah...

Present Day

Jenna: Wow... your superior was working with the mob!?

Nikita: And if that's not bad enough... it gets worse... Just wait for this next part.
