Grigori’s friends hold a party for him on his last night in Russia. Lev and Katerina leave the party early together, and they are evasive about where they are going. As Grigori is preparing to leave his flat the next morning, the police arrive at his building looking for Lev. Grigori knows they will take joy in delaying him from catching his ship to America. He escapes out the window.
Katerina tells Grigori that Lev is in trouble with the police over a delivery of stolen cigarettes. He goes to the docks (where he is to take his ship to America), and Lev explains that he’s wanted for murder. Lev convinces Grigori to give him his ticket, saved money, passport, and suitcase. Lev boards the boat under Grigori’s name and leaves for America. Grigori remains behind, devastated. Katerina reveals that she is pregnant with Lev’s baby. Grigori vows to take care of them both.
Meanwhile, Lev disembarks in a foreign country he assumes is America. When no one comes to collect the passengers, Lev walks into town to gather information. He discovers they’re in Cardiff, Wales, and concludes the gangster who Grigori bought his ticket from tricked him. Lev struggles to find work with his limited English.
