She calls the police but they refuse to help due to bureaucratic reasons, but afterwards, detective Kanski arrives at the place. Nina is finally offered help by Vladimir's assistant, Max Gruber. She returns to her and her father's apartment to find it ransacked too and she is knocked unconscious being attacked from behind. In the apartment she finds clues about someone named Oleg Kambursky, who is living nearby and had been contacted by her father and the latter wanted to see him again. After finding his address, Nina goes to meet him, but he denies knowing her father. Nina afterwards overhears Oleg making a frantic telephone call to someone mentioning Vladimir and Tunguska and she decides to talk to Max Gruber about the events and ask him about Tunguska. As Nina and Max go to Vladimir's office, they are intercepted by Detective Kanski holding a gun, but they are saved by Oleg who knocks Kanski unconscious and they all escape.

Nina and Max then manage to create a chemical reaction in the facility causing an explosion, which utterly destroys it as they flee and a lengthy and humorous ending cutscene follows, presenting scenes as if all of it was a film-making project.

Max shows it to Ken and Ken tells him that a researcher by the name of Evans had made a previous expedition in the Tunguska region in 1946 and found fragments with the same properties as the fragment found later by Vladimir in his expedition. Also, that symbol was one of many that were on the surface of the fragments discovered by Evans and by Vladimir. He also tells Max that Vladimir had made a trip in the Himalayas too. Nina and Max arrange to return to her apartment and meet there. Max arrives first but Nina isn't there, and he receives a phone call from Detective Kanski saying that Max is in danger and urging him to meet in the museum. Max arrives at the museum, only to find him murdered. At that time, Oleg and Nina arrive at her apartment and Oleg accuses Max to Nina as being in league with those pursuing them.
