The Washing Machine

Vida discovers Yuri engraved a bracelet with Maria's nickname and breaks up with him. The revelation exposes Yuri's double life and fuels the sisters' sense of control. This breakup seeds the mistrust that drives the ensuing investigation and manipulation.

Late at night, the washing machine runs with blood pouring from the door. When the door opens, Yuri's dead, dismembered body is inside. The police are called, but Yuri's remains are missing, leaving the case unresolved and suspicious.

Inspector Alexander Stacev is assigned to the supposed case, but the authorities insist there is no real case to pursue. They chalk it up to drunken hallucination, sowing seeds of doubt. Ludmilla begins to suspect a cover-up and zeroes in on the sisters anyway.

Without revealing how she obtained his number, Ludmilla calls Stacev and arranges a meeting about the case. The invitation is laced with a mix of fear, flirtation, and manipulation. Stacev agrees to talk, though he remains wary of the sisters' intentions.

Vida corners Stacev, aggressively seducing him to gain an advantage over the investigation. They break into Yuri's apartment, and Vida cuffs Stacev to a stairwell and rapes him. The act blurs lines between power, desire, and crime, further entangling the inspector with the sisters.

Nikolai notices that Yuri's file has missing fingerprints but fails to report it properly. This rookie mistake creates tension within the police department and undermines trust. The misstep becomes a lever for manipulation as the sisters sense opportunity.

The sisters offer shifting stories to explain Yuri's death, with Ludmilla claiming a dream foretold the murder and Maria spinning a tale about Yuri's hand being eaten by her cat. The bizarre alibis keep investigators off balance and deepen the sense that everyone is lying. The confusion allows the sisters to maintain control of the narrative.

Maria exerts her influence by seducing Stacev during a seminar held for blind students, displaying the sisters' talent for blurring professional and personal boundaries. Her girlfriend Nidaya's presence adds another layer of complication. The moment tightens the bond between Maria and Stacev while degrading the investigation.

Stacev's relationship with Irina deteriorates as he realizes the sisters are manipulating him. Irina kills herself after a confrontation, and Stacev discovers her body; he is left grappling with guilt and guilt by association. The tragedy marks a turning point in the inspector's allegiance to the case.

At headquarters, two German criminals challenge the alibi surrounding Yuri's movements, corroborating that the sisters may be lying. The discovery is paired with a drugged tea that leaves Stacev with troubling dreams of the murder and Vida's violence. The case begins to fracture into competing narratives.

Maria shows Stacev photos of him with the three sisters and uses the images to threaten his career while offering a promised life of wealth. He briefly contemplates running away with them, blurring lines between professional duty and personal desire. The moment signals a possible alliance that could topple the investigation.

An unseen killer chokes Nikolai to death, and Yuri—very much alive—murderously attacks Nikolai and Stacev. The five sisters assemble for a group photo, with Stacev still inside the washing machine, signaling their control over the situation. Maria then throws an iron into Yuri's running bath, electrocating him to death while the sisters celebrate, their treasure secured and their power intact.
