His methods are tough, his actions are frightening, but the result is worth it. An experienced mediator, Andrei Pavlov, goes to the terrorists without a weapon and establishes contact with them. It doesn't cost him anything to stop a soldier who ran away with a gun or to reason with a life-raiser. Andrey's new task is to convince the heirs of the famous academician to sell their stake in the company. But it's not just big businesses that need the help of a negotiator.

Andrei Pavlov's methods are proving to be very effective: the academician's heirs are already ready to sell their shares. But, alas, an unpleasant surprise awaits them. Besides, this is not the only problem of the deal. Marina gives the mediator a showdown: his latest prank goes beyond all bounds. Why wouldn't he leave her alone? There are reasons for this. Pavlov decides to ask Masha for help, and she finds a new clue in the case of teenage suicides.
