They hide her outside the city, introduce a serum of truth and record an interview on a camera in which Ilyina admits that she is not going to fulfill campaign promises and calls voters a cattle. Medushevsky gives way to scandalous material, and Ilyina’s political career is collapsing before our eyes. Kristina comes to Vershinin: Medushevsky wants to kill her. Vershinin is ready to help in exchange for testimony against Kovak, but a patrol appears and detains her on suspicion of double murder. Pugachev was appointed interim chief of the city police.
