With the help of Gavrilych, Oleg meets Bars himself in a prison bath and confirms his desire to take on the “lightning rod”. Now Ignatiev will have to study the habits of prison authority and the laws of the thieves' world. Bars instructs Gavrilych to go with Oleg to the strict-security zone to help the newcomer get comfortable in an unfamiliar environment. After all, now Oleg will have to serve eight years instead of the year set for him. Bars orders his people to prepare an operation to replace criminal cases. The price of Oleg’s heroic deed - a million dollars - is confirmed by Bars.
