Several huge black packages are washed ashore. Suddenly, a barely alive woman of Asian appearance appears from one of them, a Chinese woman, as Sokolovsky finds out. She is unable to explain to the investigation what happened: they were brought in with their eyes closed and were not allowed to leave the premises. At stake are the lives of women and their children who have come to work illegally. Having appreciated Igor's non-standard approach in the investigation, despite their unspoken conflict, Valery decides to help his partner.

On the eve of the opening of the exhibition of orders and medals of the Second World War in the Palace of Youth, robbers enter the exhibition hall and steal all the unique exhibits. The awards belonged to the elderly, who voluntarily provided them to participate in the exhibition. One of them, a blind elderly woman, Tamara Lvovna Amosova, whose granddaughter was cleaning the night before the robbery at the exhibition, is being questioned by Sokolovsky and Rodionova. However, Tamara Lvovna's story raises more questions than answers.
