Summary Serhij's superior Jefremow thinks it could be a serial killer, but Serhij is of a different opinion, perhaps also because his mother was killed by a serial killer. And his suspicion that local oligarchs are behind it seems to be confirmed by the fact that their lawyer Czerniawski was attacked in the carriage. Meanwhile, Maria and Viktor receive information about Vera Vitova in Prague. Lida Beyerova, her only friend, is also untraceable. The agency that represented the two models and the Austrian photographer Anton Fried are of little help. However, Vrabec's connections in the higher circles of society are suspicious: not only is he in contact with the businessman Sova; as a former bodyguard to the then Minister Matousek, Vrabec surprisingly quickly became part of a flourishing transport company. Vera's mobile phone data draws the investigators' attention to a wooded area outside Warsaw and a luxurious villa in Prague. In Warsaw, Bronisz's lover Edyta turns to the police: during consensual sex, he strangled her so badly that she feared for her life. Edyta not only knows about the disappearance of his former affair Andzelika Musial, she also reports his ex-lover Beata Wieczorek missing. While Viktor spends the night with his girlfriend Daniela and Maria flirts with photographer Anton as well as his camera, Serhij visits investigative journalist Julia. The two exchange physical closeness for professional information. But Serhij doesn't want to talk about the dismembered woman's body. When he leaves Julia's flat, he is brutally beaten and dragged away.
