Medushevsky's wife finds out where Yura is being hidden and informs her husband about it, hoping that he will let her go. He gives instructions to kill Nikitin. At the same time, Lupanov, a top manager of the Moscow Resources Corporation, is found dead in a hotel room. Vershinin suspects that this is the work of Serge.

Vershinin's daughter does not get in touch. The group and all the hero's affairs are going to be transferred to Major Ladygin. Businessmen come to the city and start a war for the post of head of the port. And Masha's suspicions about who the "mole" is from the department are confirmed.

Vershinin is investigating a shootout on the road in which Gubin was wounded and five people were killed, but for some reason Masha, a witness, was left alive. He forbids her to tell anyone that she was at the scene of the shooting.
