Cristian meets Starfish and informs him of their imprisonment and what happened to Luca. Starfish urges him to be careful and helps him enter Liliana and Luca’s building. Cristian convinces Luca’s sisters to let him enter their apartment. The girls tell Cristian that rumors circulate that the water has been poisoned. Their parents are out looking for Luca, but Cristian does not inform them of what happened to him. Cristian cleans his wounds, dresses in some of Luca’s clothing, and writes a note to give to Liliana’s family. As he leaves, Luca’s sister Dana begs him for information, and Cristian advises her to tell her parents to check the hospitals for Luca.
Cristian encounters Starfish in the stairwell. They exchange information on happenings in the city and the situation in the prison. Starfish summons a car and arranges for its driver to take Cristian to Colţea Hospital to search for Luca. During the trip, the driver tells Cristian that Securitate officers are working in small groups as snipers. They pass countless injured people in the streets, and even more are lined up outside the hospital.
