The court hearing begins, where Krivic argues for Pretnar’s innocence. Nika discovers who owns the mysterious blue vial. Hafner officially establishes his new party, but grows angry at Nika’s absence. Despite Hafner’s prohibition, Nika has taken on representing the newspaper against Pretnar. She struggles to gather witnesses, while Krivic skillfully twists the truth in court. Meanwhile, at Borut’s newly opened pro bono legal counseling office, a victim of a new sexual assault appears — an incident strikingly similar to the events Nika is investigating. There is a strong suspicion that both cases may involve the same attacker.
