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.
