Lieutenant Colonel Vershinin arrives at the Port, gets acquainted with his deputy Knyazev and tries to understand current affairs on the spot, but is confronted with the disdainful attitude of colleagues and subordinates. He goes to Avdeev's house hoping to find information there that will shed light on the circumstances of his friend's death, and meets journalist Anna Loginova there. She notes that there are some things missing in the house. Their conversation is interrupted by a vigilant police squad…

The authorities chastise Vershinin for an uncoordinated operation to capture criminals who robbed cash collectors. On TV, the law enforcement officer sees a report in which the robbers' car flashes. Vershinin turns to the editorial office of the TV channel for the source code, unaware that two of his subordinates have already taken care of the removal of the material. As a result, Loginov helps him to get a miraculously preserved copy of the recording. After studying the video, he comes to the conclusion that the tracks of the robbers lead to the soldiers of the Russian Guard.
