Anastasiya agrees to marry Maksym as it is her only chance to survive. Her brother Yuriy, a policeman, starts searching for her. Maksym explains to Volodenko, who is his uncle, what made him propose to Anastasiya: she is too well known, which is why they cannot afford to kill her; however, after he marries her, he can keep an eye on her all the time. Anastasiya attempts to escape from Volodenko's mansion.
