Name Snegireva Yekaterina.

I'm waiting.

- Will she find her?

- She will.

Hello. Yes.

- She's out.

- Where is she?

Where is she, if you please?

I see. Thank you.

She left.

Once a daring maple

In a maple grove

With a stunning birch

Fell hopelessly in love...

Attention! Departure of flight

number 302

Verhnye Yamki - Petrozavodsk

is delayed due to...

Touch me and caress me

With your tender branch.

Now I stand here dying

For your loving touch.

Answer me, my darling,

I love you so much.

But the dashing whirlwind

Heard the song of love,

He sent thunder coming

On the maple grove.

And the feeble maple

Lost the fearful fight,

Just his farewell love song

Lingers in the night.

I want to change my ticket.

Again?

How I dream to build a castle,

A splendid crystal castle,

For my very lovely princess,

I'd become the good magician

that would work for you.

Cause it's only in a fairytale,

Yes it's only in a fairytale,

That thing happen

Like you want them to.

It is only in a fairytale

That all your dreams come true.

May I see your passport, young man?

Ticket please?

You were going to fly to Murmansk,

then to Petrozavodsk.

Now - Cherepovets?

- So is it all the same to you?

- Looks like it.

Who are we running away from?

From myself.

You can run away from yourself,

but not from the militia.

Follow me, mister.

Transit flight Zavyalovsk -

Cherepovets has just landed.

Passengers are requested

to board.

Mister! Follow me.

What's the problem anyway?

This is not your passport,

young man.

Whose is it?

Look here.

Now here.

Well?

Do you find any resemblance?

How about - like this?

My apologies.

Afanasy!

Someone called.

I thought it might have been you.
