A month later, Borut is forced to cooperate within the machinery of Božo Kralj, Peter, and Sabrina. Meanwhile, the increasingly lonely and broken Nika succeeds in reopening the case of Dušan Kalan. Majda is granted conditional release from prison, and together with Tomaž, she begins a new shared path after many years. Yet because of the underground structures of the “beekeeper,” this romance may soon turn into a crime story. Božo finally locks Borut into his clandestine network by confronting him with a bundle of photographs showing him with Nika. Borut insists he has nothing to do with her, but Božo does not believe him. Outside Nika’s office, the tax inspector suddenly appears.
