Sergei and Maxim fight off Al-Makreadi's people (the sheikh is indignant, because in addition to the loss of fighters, he does not have information about who is opposing him), they take their car and go to spend the night in a place that Shekhovtsov carefully agreed on back in Moscow. A heartfelt conversation takes place between the men, but Sergei still does not tell who the girl is in the photograph that he carries with him everywhere. Then the sounds of gunfire are heard in the distance, they run to check. They see how militants shoot old people and women, wanting to take away children. Shekhovtsov commands to engage them in battle - everything works out, some of the people are saved.
