Barely healed from his injury, the Sniffer must use his gift to help solve another crime. An unknown assailant shot three security guards in a supermarket. Clues from the scene of the crime point to the fact that this was a premeditated rather than a random act of violence. After going through security footage from the cameras in the supermarket, the Sniffer and Victor find that several hours of footage has gone missing. It becomes apparent that the answer lies within the missing parts of the tape but who can they question if all the witnesses are dead? Meanwhile the Sniffer faces another dilemma - he needs to prove that the serial killer who targeted him and Voskresenskaya (episode 8, season 1) is sane and should be convicted. He is successful: turns out that the killer had a surprise for the Sniffer in the form of a shank he intended to use in another attempt on the Sniffer’s life.
