Viktor and the SBR have a serial killer on their hands, one who dresses up and publicly displays his female victims as a chair-tied character from the 80s children show, "Professor Positron's Academy," but Viktor alone has another problem. His friend the Sniffer is lying to him and covering up his actions. This is unfortunately true. Acting adamantly on his own, the Sniffer seeks those who've taken time away and programmed him to kill, leading him always back to a desolate pier. Meanwhile, the investigation into the "ghost" men turns up a tie to the well-executed disappearance of a quadriplegic girl, and Yulia - whatever her plans were with the hospitalized Tatyana - discovers that she's criminally suffering under her doctor's care.
