After Grushko's mauling on live television. Where he stood up for himself and his police department.
He ends up getting a stern talking to from his boss Kartashov. At least Grushko's daughter Tanya is impressed. She also announces her engagement.
Grushko might be a Colonel but the pay is not high. Even in new capitalist Russia, to make ends meet his wife has to sell valuable trinkets in the market to buy some better food to celebrate their daughter's engagement.
As for Milyukin's murder. Grushko finds out that he was working on a television documentary about nuclear waste being carried on trucks. The drivers got cancer.
Grushko is also surprised to learn that Milyukin's wife was a KGB informant about her husband's activities. Grushko wonders if his own wife did something similar.
There are other murders and gang warfare is breaking out in St Petersburg. It seems there is crossfire between Russians, Georgians, Chechens and the news kids on the block, Ukrainians.
There is a lot of plot strands in this television adaptation. The second episode comes across as an eastern block version of a cross between Goodfellas and Edge of Darkness.
