    S1:E1

    1996. A new executioner, Konstantin Volkov, is transferred from the city of Kimry to a special-regime prison in the Russian Far East. He meets his colleagues—Sasha Rybkin and Roma Savelyev—along with the local prosecutor and the prison warden. Volkov is brought up to speed on operations and shown how the penitentiary facility runs. The prison holds five inmates awaiting the death penalty. Volkov provides painkillers to the suffering "Professor"—a convict sentenced for the murder and dismemberment of five young women. His colleagues quickly come to respect the principled Kostya. Sasha is preparing for his wedding to Natasha, but tragedy strikes his fiancée after her bachelorette party.

    Police officers arrive at Natasha's home. According to witness statements, she was seen in the company of the missing Vadik. Yulya seeks professional advice from her husband, prison doctor Petya. He turns to the incarcerated Doctor for help, and the doctor's advice proves useful. Katya has a fight with her mother-in-law and leaves home. Petya picks up his son from a classmate's house and meets the boy's mother. Kostya has a private conversation with the Professor and records it on a dictaphone. An idea begins to form for the executioner: the father of one of the victims has approached him and Sasha with a request to kill the maniac. The $500 offer is tempting, but Kostya is convinced they can make far more money inside the prison.

Police uncover the body of Kotov, the man who approached Kostya and Sasha with the request to kill the Professor.
