His psychological issues cause him breathing problems and his doctor advises him to breathe into a bag if he gets a fit. Antonín and his partner Martin (Lukás Latinák) surveil Tomáš (Martin Finger) and Pavel (Lubos Veselý). They are both dissidents but Pavel is also collaborating with Antonín and Martin. Antonín finds out that Tomáš, who is married, has a lover, Klára (Kristína Farkasová). Antonín becomes interested in her. He secretly follows her and uses his authority to protect her. He beats up a guy who bothers her or prevents her boss from firing her because of her links to the dissidents. He also pushes Tomáš to leave the country to get rid of him. He beats him up during interrogations and reveals his affair to his family and Tomáš finally decides to leave Czechoslovakia. Antonín forces Pavel to arrange a meeting with Klára in exchange for seeing his file. Pavel then meets Antonín’s partner Martin in order to reveal the agreement he made with Antonín. Martin states that Antonín is done at StB but doesn’t know that Antonín is aware of their meeting and lures Martin to the woods where he attacks him and threatens him with a gun. Martin begs him for his life and Antonín handcuffs him to a tree. Martin and Klára meet in Pavel’s apartment. The meeting doesn’t end well and Antonín gets a fit so he breathes into the bag which makes Klára realize that Antonín is the agent who terrorized Tomáš.
