Hasil crosses the border one last time to finally take Marie and his son with him. However, the border guards know everything and launch an extensive operation with only one goal: to kill Josef Hasil. The final battle worthy of the true King of the Šumava begins.

Hasil is ready to take Marie to the West, but the situation is becoming more complicated. There’s a traitor in his group of agents, and until they are exposed, crossing the border isn’t safe. Meanwhile, in the Šumava region, Hasil’s family is being dragged through interrogations, and it’s only a matter of time before someone breaks.

Hasil returns to the Šumava region. He wants to find his loved ones and get them out of Czechoslovakia. However, the SNB crew is on full alert, waiting for Hasil to walk into their trap. Marie knows well that escaping with Hasil could bring freedom - but also death. She must decide if she has the courage to take that risk.

Hasil is serving a nine-year sentence in the mines, where he loses strength every day. He tries to come up with an escape plan and convince his fellow prisoners to risk their lives for freedom. Meanwhile, at Marie’s home, an unexpected person knocks on the door, asking for help.

In the morning, I’ll lead people across the border, at noon there’s a wedding, and then we’ll dance and drink until morning. I can handle that no problem. No tree grows to the heavens - only the one whose roots reach into hell. The story of the King of the Šumava reaches its climax. The noose is tightening.

In prison, Hasil is given an ultimatum: Either he betrays his old friends, or he will never return home. Meanwhile, the pressure on his pregnant fiancée, Marie, intensifies in the Šumava region, as they try to force her to find another suitor. Hasil must escape from prison as soon as possible, while there is still someone to return to.
