The series "Sniffer": the third season
In the 2nd episode 3 of the “Sniffer” season, according to the fans of the series, the most interesting events begin, shedding light on the origin of the unique gift of the protagonist. It all starts with a call from Tallinn. Arriving at his father’s funeral, the Sniffer is at the epicenter of mysterious events: a missing father’s letter, a diary with torn pages found in the apartment of his father’s friend, the brutal murder of two old people: Johan and Elena. Suspended from business, Viktor Lebedev arrives in Estonia to help his friend sort things out. They go on the trail of the killer, but he runs away, taking from the hands of the Sniffer a folder with documents and a letter.
Arriving from Tallinn, friends immerse themselves in everyday work and solve several more crimes. At the same time, they are looking for a mysterious doctor L. Soon the sniffer discovers that his childless parents have resorted to artificial insemination, that he is a baby from a test tube. From the age of eight, the KGB became interested in him, they wanted to pick him up from home and put him in a special boarding school. Father, in order to leave his son, was forced to cooperate with the KGB. The mysterious doctor L. is Heinrich Lokmus - the head of the GI corporation. Further in the 3rd season of “Sniffer”, according to the audience, the events begin to develop rapidly. The journalist, who told Victor how Lokmus gained full control over the corporation, was killed, the killer was identified, who killed Johann and Elena in Tallinn. The sniffer is given torn pages from Johan’s diary, from which he learns that Lokmus may well be his biological father. The protagonist understands that he is being drawn into some kind of game.
The essence of what is happening is revealed when the Sniffer woke up after being abducted on the operating table: Lokmus needs a new heart grown from his son’s stem cells. Victor feels that Lokmus is behind the murders and kidnapping of a friend. With the help of Genes, Irina and Victor get into the medical center to save the Sniffer, but he manages it himself by shooting Lokmus in a helicopter.

Actors and roles
Estonian and Russian actor Kirill Käro starred as Sniffer . He began acting in films since 2002 and mainly in episodes. "Sniffer" brought Cyril widespread fame and popularity. Judging by the reviews, in the 3rd season of “Sniffer”, Kyaro is most fully accustomed to the image of the protagonist.
The role of Colonel Viktor Lebedev, the best friend of the Sniffer, went to Ivan Hovhannisyan, an actor known to television viewers on many TV shows. The role of Julia, the former wife of the Sniffer, was played by actress Maria Anikanova, a theater-goer familiar with productions in the Sovremennik Theater. The role played by Anikanova is very ambiguous. Someone considers Julia a bitch, but someone thinks that she still loves her husband, and her actions are directly related to the feeling of frustration at the fact that she can not live next to him.
Reviews on the 3rd season of the movie "Sniffer"
As expected, the reviews are diametrically opposed. If you put aside minor nit-picking, you can find very valuable criticisms, especially about inconsistencies in the plot, when it seems that the one who wrote the script for season 3 does not know how the second ended. It would be nice for the screenwriter to pay attention to this. But how many people - so many opinions. Someone believes that if the first season was more or less good, the second is already “sour”, and the third is simply “wretched”. Someone thinks the series is cool and is looking forward to continue. To make your own opinion about the film, you just need to watch it.
