In the third season, professional negotiator Andrei Pavlov, a harsh man whose tools have always been psychological provocations, rethinks his beliefs, becoming a victim of social harassment. And while Pavlov is trying to come to an agreement with himself, investigator Zhenya turns to the mediator for help. People are disappearing in the city, and several girls have already been brutally murdered. The tracks lead to the Steppenwolf, who led a certain sect of "runners"…

Andrey Pavlov is a professional negotiator who has been trained at the Academy of Management of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. He is the kind of person who comes to terrorists without weapons and establishes contact with them in a matter of seconds. But his main income does not come from the successful release of hostages, but from big business. Wherever people cannot agree, he helps - for a lot of money. For each case, it changes beyond recognition. Pavlov developed an amazing ability to transform himself in childhood, which helped him build a difficult relationship with his mother. He also feels people so well that he doesn't trust anyone for a long time. Even for myself.
