Seeing such a reaction from the enemy, Johnson decides to tighten his family’s security even more, but his wife is too obstinate to tolerate this.

Daughter Margaret, on the contrary, tries to support all her father’s undertakings, but thanks to her young age, it is difficult for her to divide the world into gray shades, as her parents do. Margaret sees only the good and the bad, black and white. In her opinion, the father does not do anything terrible, he is only haunted by terrible people.
