As Masha and Yuri settle down to a better life, she gives birth to Nicoli. She happily takes care of her son, but when Masha discovers the horrifying truth about who and what Yuri is, she finds herself and her child in danger. She makes the decision to escape to America with Nicoli and be with her brother, Dimitri.
As Masha and Nicoli steal away to the ship that will take them to freedom, Yuri and his men take Nicoli from her arms along with all of the money she had saved.
