Detailed Summary
The episode opens with a tense interrogation scene where a witness describes his ordeal at the hands of local fascists who threatened to burn him and others in a shed. He recounts how he managed to kill his guard using a sickle and escape, setting the stage for the arrival of the protagonist, Shamanov. Shamanov is brought in by the police, where he is questioned by Colonel Voronov. He admits to the violence but frames it as a necessary operation to stop the criminals, specifically mentioning that he acted to save a hostage named Nastya. The police, led by the corrupt Lieutenant Gavrilov, are initially hostile, but Voronov takes charge, ordering his men to capture Shamanov alive for further questioning. The situation escalates as Shamanov is tracked to an abandoned dam. Despite being surrounded by armed police, he surrenders, leading to a tense standoff in the cave system. Voronov interrogates Shamanov, demanding the full story, while Shamanov writes a detailed statement. Meanwhile, Gavrilov, frustrated by the loss of control and the escape of his men, reports to his superior, the General, claiming the fugitives were destroyed. However, Voronov intercepts this narrative. He receives a report from two lieutenants, Zubov and Vasin, detailing the systemic abuse and corruption under Gavrilov's command, which shocks the General. The General confronts Voronov, warning him that the situation is spiraling out of control and that Gavrilov's actions could bring down the entire department. Gavrilov, desperate to maintain his power, visits Nastya in the hospital to intimidate her, revealing that he was ordered to kill Shamanov. However, Nastya informs him that Shamanov is still alive, prompting Gavrilov to launch a final assault. Shamanov is cornered in a shack, surrounded by a full military regiment with tanks, commanded by Voronov. Voronov enters the shack alone to negotiate, revealing that the military is waiting outside to storm the building. Shamanov, armed and defiant, explains his philosophy to Voronov: he cannot ignore the suffering of the townspeople who are living in fear under Gavrilov's tyranny. He speaks of his friend Lis, who died protecting him, and how he cannot let that sacrifice be in vain. Shamanov reveals the personal tragedy that brought him to the town: he came to visit his old friend Tolik Zakharov, only to discover that Tolik had died a year ago, frozen in the snow, with no alcohol in his system, suggesting foul play. This revelation deepens the mystery of the town's corruption. As the military prepares to storm the shack, Voronov makes a critical decision to halt the attack, ordering his men to retreat. He demands that the local Major surrender his gun, leading to a confrontation between the local police and the military. The local Major, loyal to Gavrilov, refuses to back down, citing his authority over the town. The standoff reaches its climax as the General arrives on the scene. He claims to have received orders from Moscow to take Shamanov back to the capital for testimony, effectively overriding the local command's desire to execute him. The General asserts that Shamanov will return in a few days to testify, but for now, he must be kept alive. This intervention saves Shamanov from immediate death, though the tension remains high as the local authorities are left to deal with the fallout of their corruption being exposed. The episode ends with Shamanov being taken into custody, but with the promise of a future reckoning for the corrupt officials who have terrorized the town.
