A prison riot erupts, during which Davit tries to kill Ketevan with a shovel, forcing Rake to kill him to save Ketevan. They have a rendezvous with Yaz and Nik, but are attacked by Zurab's men after Sandro called him as revenge for Rake killing his father, whom he idolized despite his abuse.

The family escapes in Yaz's helicopter, but Yaz dies of wounds he sustained during the attack, much to Nik's horror. 
They regroup in Rake's cabin where Rake reunites with his ex-wife Mia. However, Rake gets a call from Zurab who kidnapped Sandro during the attack. Rake and Nik break into Zurab's base to save Sandro and find that Zurab strapped him to an explosive jacket.
