Lt. Viktor Burakov
- Bukhanovsky: It is embarrassing to see grown men run from their responsibilities. It is like seeing your parents drunk for the first time. They are afraid. To be a psychiatrist in this country is to be an expert on paranoia... whether you meant to be or not.
- Burakov: Why aren't you afraid?
- Bukhanovsky: I'm sorry, do I look like a man of courage to you? I've always been interested in abnormal psychology, which is a dangerous thing in the Soviet state.
- Bondarchuk: I want to know, why are we arresting so many perfectly respectable doctors and party members?
- Burakov: Because we were told to.
- Bondarchuk: You were told to investigate them, not detain them!
- Burakov: The party members who are doctors we detain for a very brief period of time. The party members who are sexual deviants, we intend to detain a little longer.
- Burakov: [to Bukhanovsky, as Fetisov shakes the doctor's hand] He'd say something witty but he's overcome with emotion right now.
- Bukhanovsky: Thank you both. And may I say that, together, you make a wonderful person.
- Fetisov: Blood test came back negative.
- Burakov: What?
- Fetisov: Semen samples are type AB. Chikatilo is type A.
- Burakov: [sighs] I don't believe it.
- Fetisov: It's true.
- Burakov: What are you talking about "it's true"? What does that mean? Our blood test is for eleven variables. The FBI's is for one hundred and forty nine!
- Fetisov: [grinning] How do you know that?
- Burakov: [exasperated] I saw it in a movie! What the hell difference does it make what the blood test says, you don't know what you're talking about!
- Burakov: [addressing Bukhanovsky, about Fetisov] He'd say something witty but he's overcome with emotion right now.
- Burakov: Where are they?
- Fetisov: Who?
- Burakov: The Committee.
- Fetisov: We're it.
- Burakov: Who's the new head of the investigation?
- Fetisov: You.
- Burakov: Congratulations, Colonel.
- Fetisov: Well... actually, I am a General now. I don't have my insignia yet, but they are on order.
- Burakov: Congratulations, General.
- Fetisov: And you... are a Colonel. Congratulations, Colonel.
- Burakov: Bondarchuck suspects a cop now. Someone who knows how to kill and get away with it.
- Mrs. Burakov: I suppose that's a possibility.
- Burakov: The one he suspects is me.
- Mrs. Burakov: That's absurd.
- Burakov: I'm afraid, though. You know what he's like. Someone could come in the night and take me away.
