While Zoli is glad to have some company, István is unenthusiastic, not wanting any strangers about the place.

Next day, some acquaintances of his arrive - four prostitutes, and two handlers who are taking them to work in Switzerland. Their van refuses to start and they all have to spend the night there. Laci has a fling with one of the girls, Marcsi, who has doubts about her career choice. In the morning, István has a furious argument with one of the handlers, to whom he was meant to be supplying some illegal merchandise, and is killed.
