Fedya Kvas makes an attempt to kill Oleg, but the meeting ends in a different way. Oleg offers Kvass to “make a breakthrough” together - to organize an escape from Ozerny, a prison from which no one has managed to escape. To develop his plan, Oleg instructs Kvas to drag Alexei into their squad. Rokhlin begins to dig under Kolosov in order to capture his position. Gradually, he convinces all his subordinates to collect incriminating evidence against the head of Ozerny and tighten the prison regime on his behalf. In order to strengthen his power, Oleg softens the laws in his squad. In addition, he convinces the thief Hamsan, whom he had known from the pre-trial detention center, not to “lower” Alexei, who was guilty of Hamsan. Meanwhile, Veronica is gradually emerging from binge. Life in the camp goes on as usual - the son of one of the guard officers Lesha Evgrafov takes care of the young daughter of Rokhlin, Anya.
