Ép. 4: Keaton et Semionov s'échappent de la mafia russe et discutent des roubles d'or perdus de Nicolas II.

4

In the Świętokrzyskie Mountains, Keaton runs into a man named Andrei Semionov while driving on the road. After picking up Semionov, Keaton learns that Semionov is a teacher for the Russian Mafia, but he owes them 100,000 dollars. Keaton and Semionov escape the Russian Mafia by detonating the car. A blizzard occurs when Keaton and Semionov walk in the snow. After Semionov passes out, Keaton takes him inside an igloo in order to warm themselves up. They discuss that Nicholas II of Russia and his family left a fortune of 500 tons of gold roubles following their execution in Siberia. Although Keaton believes that the gold roubles were transported towards Siberia, Semionov says that they were transported towards England instead. Semionov mentions that Nikita Volkonsky was given a top-secret mission to transport the gold roubles, but he encountered a humpback whale in the Arctic Ocean, assuming it was a U-boat at first. Volkonsky wrecked his ship into an iceberg and sank the treasure. While setting foot to the east in order to avoid the Russian Revolution, his wife died and his son became an orphan in China. The next day, Keaton and Semionov encounter the Russian Mafia from a distance while walking in the snow. Despite Semionov being shot in the chest, he survives due to a diary of Volkonsky that he keeps in his coat pocket, much to Keaton's surprise. As they head to town, it is implied that Semionov is the son of Volkonsky. (Source: Wikipedia)
