Sorokin investigator Meshcheryakov meets with Oleg’s lawyer. Meshcheryakova is concerned about the activity of Xenia, constantly sending letters asking for a review of the Ignatieff case to various authorities. However, the meeting of the lawyer with Xenia does not give anything - he is sure that the girl will not interfere with the investigation. But Meshcheryakova is alarmed by the fact that in the prison of Oleg - that is, Bars instead of him - is considered a geologist, although he is a physicist by profession. Oleg and Alexei continue to plan an escape when a tattoo artist from the Putridtooth jail appears in the camp, who made a tattoo of the leopard Ignatieff. The situation is sharply aggravating - after all, only he can expose Oleg and reveal the substitution of Oleg and Bars. But with the help of Gavrilych, Oleg manages to persuade Rot-Tooth not to give him away.
