The third season of the nationally beloved detective Series "Deadly Force" is notable for a change in our heroes’ usual base of operations. Igor Plakhov, Vasya Rogov, and Zhora Lyubimov are sent by their superiors on a three-month business trip to Chechnya. Much of the season’s humor is built around the interaction between the St. Petersburg detectives and the local law enforcement agencies, as well as the characters’ introduction to the strange local traditions. At the same time, the fun is fully balanced by drama: more than once or twice, the characters will have to face situations requiring them to take considerable risks. The lives of the St. Petersburg cops in the Caucasus are almost constantly in danger, and Plakhov must also endure the harsh ordeal of being captured by terrorists. Soon, the heroes become acquainted with Chechen crime bosses, among whom there is even a Sultan of their own, who dreams of the glory of a great military commander. With the assistance of the FSB, Rogov and Dukalis have to take an unpopular step and exchange Plakhov for the son of a local oligarch, but the St. Petersburg men have no choice—the well-being of an entire region and the peace of its residents are placed on the card.
