Timothy takes the life of an electrician and draws up the murder as an illustration for the novel The Master and Margarita. The police officers Sanya and Max, who arrived at the scene of the crime, blame everything on the "trappers" stealing electricity. Such a banal version just infuriates Timofey, but in the evening he is visited by a new investigator from the city, Olga, who notices Timofey's motives in the crime.
