Hasil is serving a nine-year sentence in the mines, where he loses strength every day. He tries to come up with an escape plan and convince his fellow prisoners to risk their lives for freedom. Meanwhile, at Marie’s home, an unexpected person knocks on the door, asking for help.

Hasil returns to the Šumava region. He wants to find his loved ones and get them out of Czechoslovakia. However, the SNB crew is on full alert, waiting for Hasil to walk into their trap. Marie knows well that escaping with Hasil could bring freedom - but also death. She must decide if she has the courage to take that risk.

Hasil crosses the border one last time to finally take Marie and his son with him. However, the border guards know everything and launch an extensive operation with only one goal: to kill Josef Hasil. The final battle worthy of the true King of the Šumava begins.
