The driver of the car happened to be a high-ranking military official named Dan Condrea (Mihai Constantin).

As Cristian delves deeper into the case, he discovers that there is more to it than meets the eye. While investigating, Cristian starts receiving threats and is warned to drop the case. At the same time, he also has to deal with the media scrutiny and pressure from higher-ups in the government who want him to play down the case.

During his investigation, Cristian discovers that there is a connection between Alex's death and a complex network of corruption involving high-ranking officials in the government, the military, and the business world.
