To protect her daughter, Alicja Mazur takes the blame for shooting Paweł. Meanwhile, she is certain of her acquittal with a recording in which Paweł confesses to killing Ludmiła.
Alicja, locked in solitary confinement after beating Kosa, undergoes a real hell - she receives news of her daughter's death. The police bust a women trafficking ring, but for Paweł, the game is not over.
A riot initiated by Alicja spreads to other units of the Zabrze prison. The situation becomes dramatic when the self-proclaimed leader Amfisa uses the chaos for vigilante justice.
The echoes of the riot continue, as prison manager Hepner teaches the inmates a harsh lesson in humility. Bans, restrictions, and mandatory runs in the exercise yard become the daily routine.
Thanks to Swiet, Alicja learns the truth about Dorota Wójcik, and through Kraszecki, she discovers Hepner's past. One of the past's secrets is Kraszecki's brother.
