Kole: We had a great time. It was nice for us ladies to just get away and do some bonding. But.. Alexei: But what? Kole: Leads Alexei away from the others. Olga was reading Mein Kampf. Alexei: The book Hitler wrote a few years ago, while he was in that prison? Kole: Yeah, her reasoning was 'know thy enemy'. Alexei: I suppose she's right. Hitler is our enemy, or he will be. Kole: I know. However, she didn't want Sam to see her reading that book. Alexei: Well, out of all of us, Sam is the only one who's really had experience with those guys. I mean we've bumped into a brownshirt or two. Kole: Smiles. Like that one you punched out in Berlin. Alexei: Yeah, that felt great. However, Sam has had much worse experience with them. Kole: And now she's going to have to face them again, and this time without her powers. Alexei: So you can see why Olga would keep this from her. And so should we. Kole: I agree. Sam: Appears on scene. What are you two whispering about over here? Kole: Oh nothing. I was just telling Alexei that I missed him. Sam: Oh, okay. Alexei: Anyway, Kole, little Marie was very good and...
Back with the others...
Nicholas: Well, since the girls are back, your mother and I will be heading out now. Tatiana: Can't you stay a while longer, Papa? Nicholas: I wish we could. Alexandra: However, there is a reception at the Swedish Embassy tonight. Your father and I will be expected to appear. Olga: I guess that's what I have to look forward to, when I become Tsarina. Alexandra: Yes, but that's still years away. Nicholas and Alexandra say their goodbyes to everyone and depart. Olga: I better put a certain book back in my library, before Sam sees it. Anastasia: Not so loud, Olga. Olga: Sam doesn't have her vampire hearing anymore, Nastya. Anastasia: Oh, right, I keep forgetting. Maria: You don't leave that book out in the open, I hope. Olga: Shakes her head. No, I hide it behind a couple of other books. Tatiana: You better hurry, Olga, Sam's coming back. Olga: Right. Hurries away. At that point, Alexei, Kole, and Sam walk up. Sam: Where's Olga going? Tatiana: Just to check on the library, to make sure the children didn't mess it up. Sam: I'm sure the children wouldn't have done that. Anastasia: Probably not, but you know Olga. Kole: Say, I'm hungry. Why don't we all go into the kitchen and get a bite to eat. Anastasia: Good idea. The guys can catch us up on events as we eat. So they all head off to the kitchen..

Next day, Anichkov Palace, Little Pair’s room...
Maria: Do you think Olga has dropped her idea of leaving the palace? Anastasia: Let’s hope so. She hasn’t mentioned it since the camping trip. Tatiana: That probably means she's realized she just can’t leave us behind. Maria: If this is true, we need to ask her. Just to be sure. Tatiana: No, we’d better not speak of it at all. Either she forgot about it or she dropped it. So let’s just pretend nothing's happened. Anastasia: Agreed. Maria: Fine, I guess you’re right.
Meanwhile, in the garden...
Olga: Dimitri, I thought a lot about what you said, about having our own house. This camping trip made me realize that it doesn’t matter if my sisters and I live in the same palace or not. We will always be OTMA, even if we’re apart, and nothing can ever change that. We’ve been through too much together to break that bond between us. Dimitri C-B: So, does it mean you’re... Olga: Leaving the palace, yes. We’re moving out. Dimitri: Are we really? I mean, is this real? Olga: Yes, it is. Dimitri C-B: Olga, I’m so happy you made that decision! Olga: It was a hard one to make, really. The hardest choice in my whole life, but I know I’m doing the right thing. However, we just got back, so I think it’s better if we wait before telling the others. It’ll probably hurt my sisters deeply, so I have to figure out the best way to tell them. Dmitri C-B: You’re right. Let’s wait a little. However, I’d like to call Alexei to ask him for some advice on choosing our apartment. He has been there before us and he can be of help. I’m sure that he and Kole can keep the secret. Olga: I’m sure too. Dimitri C-B: Okay, I’ll call him. Olga: And I think I’ll go see Kole tomorrow to talk about that moving out stuff. Dimitri C-B: You speak of it like it was a big deal. Olga: It is to me. I’ve never had an apartment on my own and I’ve never been separated for long from my sisters before. Except when Tanya, Nastya, and I had to stay with our brother in Tobolsk because he was sick, while Mashka went with our parents to Ekaterinburg. Dimitri C-B: That’s not happy memories. I’d rather forget those awful years of the revolution. However 1918 wasn’t all bad. It’s also when we met again, in that McDonald’s. Looking back, that was the best thing that ever happened to me. Olga: I remember that day like it was yesterday, and how happy I was when I saw you! Dimitri C-B: Yeah, you turned into a statue. Olga: And Tatiana fainted when she saw her Dimitri. That was worse. Dimitri C-B: I think he was about to faint too. They both laugh. Olga: Dimitri? Dimitri C-B: Yes? Olga: I’m very nervous about that decision of moving out. Dmitri C-B: Honey, I understand. Everything will be fine. It’s just an adjustment to make. Olga: I know you’re right. I think it’d help me if I speak to Kole about it.

The next day, Alexei and Kole's apartment...
Kole: Olga, what is it? Olga: As she walks in. Is Alexei here? Kole: No, he went out to meet your Dimitri about something. Olga: I know. Kole: What's going on? When you called me, you sounded so secretive. Olga: I had to be. Listen, Kole, you know that apartment in this building that became vacant when Anya, Sophia, and Sandra moved to London a few months ago? Kole: Yes? What about it? Olga: Is it still vacant? Kole: Yes, it is. Why.... Olga, are you going through with this moving out thing? Olga: Yes, I am. I thought about it, and I realized that it's time for Dimitri and I to find our own place for our family. Kole: I take it your sisters don't know about your decision yet. Olga: They don't. Sam doesn't either. I want your word, Kole, that you won't tell any of them. Kole: I won't. However, Olga, you can't keep this a secret for long. Olga: I know. So about that apartment. Kole: Just a second. Calls the landlord and talks to him. After the call. Well, Olga, the apartment is yours if you want it. Olga: Thanks Kole.
At that same time, at a nearby Tim Horton's...
Alexei: Moving out!? Are you sure about that? Dimitri C-B: I am. Olga is talking to Kole about this as we speak. Alexei: And the others, back at Anichkov Palace? Dimitri C-B: They don't know about this yet, and I want your word you won't tell them anything. Olga and I will do so when we're ready. Alexei: Of course I won't tell. Dimitri C-B: Now, we just need to find an apartment. Alexei: I know of one in our building. Tells him about the vacant apartment. Kole has probably told Olga about it by now. Dimitri C-B: How big is it? Alexei: Plenty big. There will be enough room for you, Olga, and your three children. Dimitri C-B: Perfect. I'll talk to Olga about it.
Back with Olga and Kole...
Olga: I don't have to tell you this, Kole, but this is a big step for me. I've never lived apart from my sisters. Kole: I know. However, you won't be that far from them here. Alexei and I are at the palace all the time, after all. Olga: That's true. The same will apply for Dimitri and me. Still, when I think of telling my sisters, especially Tatiana. They don't call us the Big Pair for nothing, after all. Kole: Olga, don't worry. Everything will work out. Olga: I hope you're right, Kole.
***Anya, Sophie, and Sandra were characters I also had no further plans for. Yep, Tim Horton's, that great Canadian institution, has made it to Russia***

Later, back at Anichkov Palace...
Olga: I suppose Alexei told you about that apartment in their building? Dimitri C-B: He did. And he also told me there was enough room for us and the kids. Sounds perfect, don’t you think? Olga: Sure, and it’s great we’ll be only two floors above Alexei and Kole. It’s not like we were moving to a place where there won't be anyone we know. At least it will feel a bit like home. Dimitri C-B: So, you see that moving out isn’t as big as it seems. Olga: smiles. I guess so. Dimitri C-B: So how was your conversation with Kole? What did she say to you? Olga: Basically the same thing that Alexei said to you. She told me not to worry, that everything will be fine. And, of course, we also spoke about that apartment. Dimitri C-B: Since we both agree to choose that one, how about calling the landlord next week and telling him that it’s okay. Olga: I guess you realize that once we do that, we can’t hide it from the others anymore. Dimitri C: I’m aware of that. However, if you’re not ready, we can wait a bit longer. Olga: No. Kole is right. We can’t keep the secret forever. Let’s make that call and then we’ll tell the others right after. Dimitri C-B: Alright, let’s do this.
A few days later…
Olga: On the phone. Okay, thank you, we’ll see you on Wednesday. Hangs up. Dimitri, I just spoke with the landlord. The apartment is ours. He'll be waiting for us, on Wednesday, to sign the papers. Dimitri C-B: That’s great! Now we just have to tell the others. Fingers crossed. Olga: I’m afraid of how my sisters will react to the news. I do hope they will understand. Dimitri C-B: I’m sure they will, but maybe not right away. They’ll need some time to accept your departure. Olga: I hope you’re right. Dimitri C-B: So how are we going to tell them? Olga: I have to tell Tatiana first. She was always the first to learn my secrets. That’s not going to change now. Then, I’ll talk to Maria, Nastya, and Sam. Dimitri C-B: I guess it’s best if you speak to them alone. As for me, I’ll tell the guys. Olga: And we’ll tell the children right after. Dimitri C-B: smiles. Speaking of them. Elizabeth told your mother she’s determined not to leave here. She said her decision was final. That reminds me so much of someone! Olga: smiles back. I have no idea who you’re talking about. About Elizabeth, don’t worry. I know her. I know how to talk to her. Everything will be fine.
A short time later…
Tatiana is lounging in a chair on the balcony. Olga: Comes in. Ha, there you are, Tatiana. I was looking for you. Tatiana. Stands up and hides behind her book. No, please, don’t do that. I’m sorry about this pie, Olga. Besides, my dress is new and I like it a lot. So, please be merciful. Olga: Surprised. What on Earth are you talking about? Tatiana: I know what you want. You’re going to throw a pie at me, aren’t you? Olga: No. However you gave me the idea, thank you. I'll save it for next time. Tatiana: Relieved. Oh, thank God, I’m safe again. So, why were you looking for me, if it wasn’t to throw a pie at me? Olga: I need to talk to you about something important. Tatiana: You sound so serious. Is something wrong? Olga: No. First, I wanted to tell you that no matter what happens, we’ll always be the Big Pair. Nothing can ever break that. Nothing. Tatiana: Suddenly worried. I’m sure something’s wrong. You wouldn’t speak like this if everything were fine. What is it, please tell me? Olga: Tanya, I… Tatiana: Very concerned. What? Olga: Well, I’m…We’re… Tatiana: TELL ME PLEASE! Olga: I’m leaving. Dimitri and I, we’re moving out. Tatiana: What? No. Please, tell me this is not true? Olga: It is. Tatiana: Olga, are you crazy? You can’t leave. You just can’t. What about us? What about me?

Olga: Tatiana, did you not hear what I just said? We'll always be the Big Pair, no matter what. Tatiana: Yes, I heard you. Yet, you want to move out. Olga: This wasn't an easy decision for me, or Dimitri. Tatiana: Yet, you decided to go through with it. Olga: Yes, we did. However, as I said, that doesn't change the fact that you're my sister, and always will be. Besides, we won't be far away. Tatiana: What do you mean? Olga: We're going to be living in the same apartment building that Alexei and Kole are in. We're taking over Anya, Sophia, and Sandra's former apartment. Tatiana: Somewhat reassured. That's not far. Olga: I told you. And we see Alexei and Kole all the time, even though they don't live her anymore. Right? Tatiana: Yes, that's true. Olga: So you see, Tanya, you have nothing to worry about. You're not losing a sister. Tatiana: I guess I overreacted. You just took me by surprise. Thanks for telling me first. Olga: Hey, we're the Big Pair. Now to tell the Little Pair and Sam.
And so...
Anastasia: So you'll be Alexei and Kole's neighbours. Olga: We'll be two floors above them, but yes. Maria: This is really happening. Olga: Yes, it is. However, you'll still see us all the time, like we see Alexei and Kole. Sam smiles. Tatiana: What is it, Sam? Sam: I was just remembering the time we all moved here from the Alexander Palace. Anastasia: Oh yeah, and how Papa kept calling every five minutes to check up on us. Olga: Promise you won't do that to me. Maria: Who knows. Anastasia: Look, here come the guys. The Dimitri's and Ivan's arrive. Olga: I take it you've told them. Dimitri C-B: I have. Dimitri M: We'll miss you two, but we understand your decision. Ivan S: So, when does the move take place? Olga: We'll be signing the papers next Wednesday. We'll probably be moving on the following weekend, Ivan K: Well, you'll need a hand with your stuff. We just volunteered. Olga: Thank you all. Now.... Tatiana: Now what? Olga: I to talk to Elizabeth about this. Anastasia: Oh yeah, she won't be happy about this. Olga: Still, I think I can convince her. Luckily we still have a few days left.
Later that evening, Kole and Sam are outside walking...
Kole: I guess you've heard the news about Olga and her Dimitri. Sam: That they'll be moving into your apartment building. Yes, we have. I'll be sad to see them go, but I understand their decision. Falls silent. Kole: Sam, are you okay? Sam: Truth be told, Kole, I'm thinking about the future. Kole: Let me guess, it concerns Germany. Sam: Yes, it does. Even as we speak, dark forces are gathering strength there. In five years, Hitler will be in control of their government. In thirteen years, they invade Russia. Kole: But, in the end, they lose the war. Sam: Small comfort that's going to be to the relatives who will lose loved ones fighting the Germans. Not to mention all the devastation their invasion will cause to Russia. Gestures to St. Petersburg around them. This whole city will be under siege for two years. Nazi storm troopers will occupy Tsarskoe Selo and nearly wreck the place. Kole: They're nothing we can do about it, Sam. You remember what happened when Alexei tried to change things, he only made it worse. Sam: I know. A fixed event can't be changed. Still, it just plain sucks. Kole: You and I are unique, Sam. We know the future because we come from it. Sam: I guess part of me worries about facing what's to come without my powers. Kole: Are you thinking of asking your friend, Castiel, to give you a lift back to 2011? Sam: Shakes her head. No. I've burned all my bridges there. This is my time now, like it is yours. Whatever the future brings, we'll face it all together. All of you are the only family I have now, I could never leave you. Kole: That's nice to hear. Sam: I mean it. Kole: I feel the same way. I may be from 2071, but this is my time now, and all of you are my family. Sam: Yeah, that's true. Kole: Looks at her watch. We better be getting back. I have to give Marie her dinner soon. Sam: Let's go.
Suddenly, a van pulls up beside Kole and Sam. Before either woman has a chance to react, two men jump out and chloroform them.
First Man: Careful, Oleg, he won't pay us if they're harmed. Oleg: What does he want with these two, Max? Max: I don't know, and I don't care. As long as I get paid. Oleg and Max load the two unconscious women into the van and drive away.
Later, an undisclosed location...
Kole: Wakes up. What the hell? Sees she and Sam are tied up. Sam: Also wakes up. Kole? What happened? Where are we? Kole: I don't know. I just woke up myself. What happened to us? Sam: Seems we were kidnapped. Damned if I know why. Suddenly, a man steps out of the darkness. Sam: In recognition. You! Kole: You know this guy? Sam: His name is Lothos. Someone I'd hope never to see again. Lothos: Mockingly. Now, Sam, is that any way to speak to an old friend? Sam: We're not friends! Kole: Uh, could someone clue me in here? Sam: Lothos is from my time, Kole. Remember I told you about those Vampire Hunters attacking my friends in Mystic Falls. Lothos was in charge of them. Kole: Looks at Lothos. Why? Lothos: Because vampires are an abomination and deserve to be wiped out! Kole: You sound like Hitler. Lothos: Well, maybe he had the right idea about subhuman creatures not deserving to live. Kole: Thinking. The same old dogma. The names are different, but the hate stays the same. Sam: How did you get here, Lothos? Lothos: Produces an amulet. The Amulet Of Hogthor. It allows one to track down their enemies, no matter where they are. You see, my dear Sam, I had to pay you back for all my friends you destroyed in 2011. I thought we'd finished you off in that building. However, when your body failed to turn up, I began to suspect you'd somehow escaped. I knew about your fascination with Russia of this time, so I read every history book and document on this period I could get my hands on, and there you were. Sam: All right, Lothos, you've got me. Indicates Kole. However, let her go. She's not involved. Lothos: Oh, I can't do that. You see, when I read those history books, it occurred to me that Ms. Munro, or Feodorovna, or whatever she calls herself, here just appears out of nowhere in 1925. It's like she fell out of the sky. Kole: Thinking. That's not too far from the truth. Lothos: So I began to suspect that she, like you, came from the future. Turns to Kole. Is that right? Kole: Go to Hell! Lothos: I'll take that as a yes. Turns back to Sam. So, why don't you try and escape. Go on, Sam, try it! Sam says nothing. Lothos: So, the rumours are true. You've lost all your powers. Your just another human now. This is wonderful! Sam: If that is the case, Lothos, when why did you go through all this trouble to kidnap us? Lothos: Because of the knowledge both of you have in your heads. There are certain people in Germany who would LOVE to get a hold of you two and pick your brains. Kole: Let me guess, Hitler and his goons. Lothos: Correct. With your knowledge of the future, of the coming war, I'm sure they'll pay me handsomely for you two. Now, if you two will excuse me, I have phone calls to make. Leaves the room. Kole: Okay, this guy is crazy. He's talking about messing up history, not to mention the two of us! Sam: I know. We better try and get free before he gets back...

Anichkov Palace, in the nursery...
Olga: Alexander, can you go see your father? He has something to tell you. Alexander: Do I really have to go now, Mama? I’d like to continue playing. Olga: Yes, please go, darling. Alexander: Sighs. Okay. Exits the room. Elizabeth: What is it, Mama? You want to talk to me, don’t you? Olga: Yes, you’re right, sweetheart. You see, I need your help about something. Elizabeth: I’ll be glad to help you, Mama. What do you want me to do? Olga: Your father and I would like to move out. We like an apartment we found, it’s two floors above Uncle Alexei and Aunt Kole’s. I need your advice about it. Would you like to go there with me, on Wednesday, to tell me what you think of it? Elizabeth: You don’t really want to move, Mama, do you? You said you don’t. And I want to stay here. Olga: I know you want to stay here because of me. However, moving out isn’t a problem for me anymore. And not for your aunts either. Actually, I’m very happy to go. Elizabeth: Really? Olga: Yes, it’s true. I can promise you one thing, living there will be exactly the same as living here. And do you know why? It’s because we’ll visit the others all of the time. Elizabeth: Laughing. Then I don’t see why you want to move out. Olga: Laughing too. Now that you say that, I begin to wonder too. So, are you going to help me about the apartment? Elizabeth: Yes, of course, Mama. Olga: Smiling. I guess that means moving out doesn’t bother you anymore. Elizabeth: No, it doesn’t. Actually, I’m very excited to go with you on Wednesday. Are you going to bring Alexander too? I’d prefer if it was just me, you, and Daddy. The baby can come too. Olga: Why don’t you want Alexander to go with us? Elizabeth: He’s so irritating. The other day, when you went to see Uncle Alexei and Aunt Kole, he stole my dolls. He said that if I wanted to see them again, I would have to play with him. And because I didn’t want to, we argued. Alexandra sided with me, and Dimitri sided with Alexander. We were all fighting until Aunt Nastya came and separated us. We were all punished. All because of him. He’s really stupid! Olga: I see. Elizabeth: So, I don’t want him to come. Olga: Elizabeth, I understand you’re mad at him, but he only wanted to have a little fun. Now do you want to make me happy, darling? Please, make peace with your brother. Elizabeth: With a deep sigh. Alright, I’ll do it. Thinking to herself. I still think he’s an idiot.
That evening, OTMA and the guys are in the living room, having a discussion…
Olga: Sits on the couch. I spoke to Elizabeth and the problem is solved. I told you I’d convince her. Dimitri C-B: Oh, I had no doubt about it. The phone rings. Maria: Answers it. Yes, hello? Alexei. On the phone. It’s Alexei. Is Kole there? She was supposed to be back for dinner but it’s almost nine o’clock, and she still hasn't arrived home. Sam was coming with her and she's not here either! Maria: That’s strange. She and Sam left the palace for your place around 6 o’clock. They should have been there hours ago. Alexei: I’m sure something has happened to them. Kole would have told me if she had planned to do something tonight. I tried to call her phone, but I keep getting her voice mail. I tried to get Sam, but she's not picking up either. Maria: Hey, wait a minute. Looks out the window. Alexei, Kole’s car is still here. Alexei: What? Maria: Her car is still parked in the street. Alexei: I heard you. So, that means they never left the palace. Maria: I’m sure of one thing, they’re not still here. I saw them leaving. Alexei: Getting angry. Did you see what time is it? I’ve told you, Kole and Sam should have been here for dinner. That's almost three hours ago! So why are they not here? And why don’t they pick up their phones? I’m certain something has happened to them. I’ll call the police. Maria: Calm down, okay? You may be right, maybe they had an accident of some kind. Alexei: And they didn't call any of us? I don't think so. Maria: What are you thinking? Alexei: I'm imagining the worst. Remember that Ripper story with Tatiana? I’m very worried, Mashka. Maria: I understand. I'm starting to worry too. Okay, call the police. The others and I will search in and around the palace. Alexei: Call me if you find something. I’ll stay here in case they come back. Hangs up. Anastasia: That was Alexei, on the phone, wasn’t it? What’s wrong? Maria: Kole and Sam have disappeared. Alexei thinks something has happened to them. Kole's car is still in the street, so they can’t be that far. Ivan K: Oh, my God! Okay, let’s go. Ivan S: You ladies stay here. It’s safer. The guys are I will do the search. Tatiana: No way. What if they need medical help? Dimitri M: Good point. Maria: We’ll come with you, whether you like or not. Olga: Yeah, ditto. Anastasia: Someone has to stay here, to look after the kids. They all look at each other. Anastasia: Maria, maybe… Maria: Don’t look at me. I’m coming. Tatiana: Me too. Olga: Alright, alright, I’m staying.

Back with Kole and Sam...
The two women have managed to maneuver themselves back to back, and are working at freeing themselves.
Kole: I think my ropes are loosening. Sam: Mine too. Kole: What do you think Lothos is up to right now? Sam: I would imagine he's trying to get in touch with the Nazis and make some kind of arrangement to hand the two of us over to them. Kole: He sure does spew some of the same vile as them. Sam: Well, Kole, Vampire Hunters share a lot in common with the Nazis. Namely, they hate anyone who does not conform to their warped sense of what is normal. Kole: Who are they to dictate what is normal? If you ask me, THEY'RE the ones who aren't normal. Hating people just because they're different than they are. Sam: I couldn't agree more, Kole. Wiggles around a bit. I think I'm almost free. Kole: Me too. Let's keep at it.
Anickov Palace...
Olga: Sees the others return. Well? Maria: Nothing. We searched for blocks all around, but there is no sign of Kole or Sam anywhere. Olga: Alexei called again. He's freaking out. Dimitri C-B: I can't blame him. I think I speak for all the guys when I say that if one of you suddenly went missing, we'd freak out too. Ivan K: You can say that again. At the point, Nicholas and Alexandra arrive. Tatiana: Mama? Papa? When did you get here? Alexandra: Just now. Alexei called us and told us what happened. Nicholas: I've been in touch with the police. Apparently, they've found some witnesses who saw what happened. Olga: What did happen? Nicholas: According to the witness reports, Kole and Sam were walking down the street, when a van pulled up beside them. Two men got out the van, chloroformed Kole and Sam, loaded them into the van, and drove away. Alexandra: The witnesses themselves were too far away to intervene, but they did get a good look at the two men. The police are investigating the witness descriptions now. Tatiana: So they were kidnapped. Nicholas: It would seem so. Still, it's odd that there haven't been any ransom demands. Anastasia: Unless whomever had them kidnapped had another agenda. Maria: I know that look, Nastya, you're in detective mode again. Anastasia: I am. I think we're all overlooking one important fact. What is the one thing Kole and Sam have in common? Olga: Snaps her fingers. They're from the future! Anastasia: Exactly. The two people in our family who come from the future are kidnapped at the same time? Coincidence? I think not! Alexandra: But only we in the family know that. You're not thinking that someone in our family did it. Anastasia: No, Mama, I'm thinking that whomever kidnapped them, or hired those two guys to kidnap them, is also from the future. Tatiana: I see where Nastya is going with this. Since Sam was the one with enemies in the future, I'm willing to bet one of them is responsible. Olga: One of them must have found a way to travel back in time to now. Still, why did they take Kole? She had nothing to do with what Sam did in 2011, since she's from sixty years farther into the future. Anastasia: I'm thinking it's because both Kole and Sam have knowledge of the future. There are people out there who would love to have access to that knowledge, like the outcome of a coming war. Since the kidnapper is also from the future, he, or she, would know that. Maria: If you're right, Nastya, we have to find Kole and Sam and we have to find them fast! Anastasia: Right, let's get busy.
Just then, Nicholas gets a call...
Nicholas: Yes? Excellent. I'll tell the others. Hangs up. Alexandra: What is it, Nicky? Nicholas: The police got a match on the two men who kidnapped Kole and Sam, based on witness descriptions. Olga: Who are they? Nicholas: Oleg Karkhov and Max Brailsky. Apparently, they're a couple of thugs for hire. They'll do any criminal job, as long as they're paid for it. Maria: So someone hired them to kidnap Kole and Sam. Anastasia: And I bet that someone is the person from the future we were talking about.
Back with Kole and Sam...
Kole: That's it, we're free! Sam: Yeah, those ropes were beginning to hurt. The two women creep to the door and peek out. Kole: No one seems to be around. Sam: Think we can slip out without being seen. At least get our bearings. Kole: I hope so. Let's go.
Meanwhile, Lothos has managed to get in touch with Hitler...
Hitler: Voice on the phone. Yes? Who is this? Lothos: My name is Lothos. You don't know me, Mr. Hitler, but I'm a believer in what you're trying to accomplish. I believe the world would be better off if some people, and races, were eliminated. Hitler: Get to the point, Mr. Lothos, I'm a busy man. Lothos: What would you say if I could deliver to you the means to see into the future. You could know of events, years before they happen. Hitler: Is this some sort of joke? Lothos: No joke, Mr. Hitler. I have, uh, merchandise that can see the future. I guarantee it. Just let me show you, you have nothing to lose. Hitler: Very well, but this better not be a trick. Lothos: I assure you, it isn't. Hitler: Are you familiar with the town of Gleiwitz? Lothos: It's a town on the German-Polish border. Hitler: Yes. Be there in twelve hours. I'll have men waiting. Hangs up. Lothos: Excellent. Oleg! Oleg: Comes into the room. Yes? Lothos: Tell Max to fuel up the van, we're going on a road trip. You go get our two guests ready. Oleg: Right. He leaves the room, but soon returns. They're gone! Lothos: WHAT!? Oleg: They got loose and escaped. Lothos: Damn! Oleg, get Max and FIND THEM!!

Anichkov Palace...
Hearing a knock at the door, Anastasia opens it and sees Alexei on the doorstep, holding baby Marie. Anastasia: Alexei, what are you doing here? Alexei: I’m fed up of waiting for the police to do their job. I came here to take matters into my own hands. Olga: The police already found the names of the kidnappers, so… Alexei: Yeah, I know. Papa told me. Olga: So, you can see they’re doing something. Alexei: I only see they still haven’t found Kole and Sam. And that's the only thing that matters to me. Who cares about the #$§*&% names of those guys? Tatiana: Those #$§*&% names, as you say, will help the police to find out where Kole and Sam are being kept prisoner. Now, please, keep your cool. Losing your temper is useless. Anastasia: Guys, remember what I said a few moments ago. About people who’d love to know the future and especially the outcome of a certain war we know is coming. Maria: Yes. And? Anastasia: The guy who ordered Sam and Kole’s kidnapping is from the future. And he is an enemy of Sam, which means he is an enemy of vampires and other such beings. I’m 100% sure he’s a Vampire Hunter. For these kind of guys, vampires and supernatural creatures are subhuman. Doesn’t that remind you of anything? Who do you think he will go and see first to try and sell his “merchandise”? Tatiana: No idea. Olga: Neither do I. Anastasia: Sometimes, I’m fed up of being the cleverest of you all. Olga: You’re not. Maria: Nastya, go on, please. Anastasia: He will try to make a deal with Hitler. Those two would get along nicely. They have the same kind of stupid ideology. Maria: You’re right. There's a good chance that the kidnapper, whoever he is, will try to get in touch with him. Anastasia: Maybe he already has. Alexei: I think you’re right too, Nastya. Thanks for your help. Now go tell Papa and Mama. I need to leave right now. Olga: Where are you going? Alexei: Making sure what Nastya just said is not going to happen. No way in Hell am I letting the Nazis get their hands on Kole and Sam, not if I can prevent it. Tatiana: But you don’t even know where Kole and Sam are. Alexei: I don’t care, I will find them if I have to search all of Russia. Nastya, can you take care of Marie while I’m gone? Maria: You’re out of your mind. Even if you find them, which you probably won’t, how will you be able to rescue them? Alexei: I have this. Shows them a gun. And you can be sure I'll use it if I have to. Tatiana: You’re crazy. Hey wait! Alexei passes by and heads out. They hear his car driving off. . Anastasia: IVAN! Do something! Our brother is not thinking straight. Ivan K: Don’t worry, we’ll stop him. The two D’s and the Ivan's get in a car and drive off in pursuit of Alexei.

Back with Kole and Sam...
Kole: Are you sure this is the way out? Sam: No, I'm not sure of anything. All these twists and turns. Kole: Also, we were both unconscious when we were brought here. Sam: Yeah and.... Shhhhh! Someone's coming. The two women peek around a corner and see Oleg coming down the hall towards them. Oleg: Yoo hoo! Oh ladies, where are you? Draws a gun. Don't make this any harder than it should be. Kole: Whispering. He didn't see us. Sam: Excellent, we can use that. Oleg: Come out, come out, wherever you are! He walks past where Kole and Sam are hiding. Sam delivers a blow to the solar plexus and Kole karate chops him. Oleg drops to the floor, out cold. Kole: Picks up the gun. I guess he didn't count on my military training and your self defense moves. Sam: I guess Lothos didn't tell him and his buddy the full truth about us. Kole: Speaking of which...
Soon after, we see Max going slowly another hallway..
Max: Oleg? Where are you? Keeps looking for Oleg and thus doesn't see Kole and Sam come up behind him. They take care of him quickly. Sam: Picks up Max's gun. Now we're both armed. Kole: Right. So what's our next move? Sam: You find the way out of here, Kole. Kole: What about you? Sam: I'm going to find Lothos. I have unfinished business with him. Kole: Are you sure that's wise, Sam. Sam: Don't worry, Kole. I may not have my powers anymore, but I have this. Holds up the gun. Lothos is as human as we are. Kole: Okay, Sam, but be careful. Sam: Don't worry, I will.
Soon after, Kole finds her way outside. She notices a sign on the building ANCHOR MUNITIONS. She then checks her phone and sees all the missed calls from Alexei. She phones him.
Alexei: Voice on phone. Kole, thank God! I've been worried sick! Kole: Sam and I just escaped. They had us tied up. Goes on to describe the escape. Alexei: Is she with you? Kole: No, she's gone back to deal with Lothos, he's the guy who had us kidnapped Alexei: Where are you? Kole: I'm outside a building called Anchor Munitions. Apparently that's where Lothos was holding us. Alexei: I know the building, it was a munitions factory during the war. It's been derelict for years. It's only a few miles outside St. Petersburg. I'll be there in about twenty minutes. Kole: You'll be.... What? Alexei: I decided to try and find you myself, Kole. I got tired of waiting for the police. Kole: Where's Marie. Surely you didn't bring her with you. Alexei: No, I left her with my sisters. Kole: Maybe you should call them. Alexei: I will.
Soon after, Anichkov Palace...
Anastasia: I just heard from Alexei. Tatiana: Has he come to his senses and decided to come home? Anastasia: No, he had good news. He got a call from Kole. Goes on to describe the call. Nicholas: I'll call the police and inform them as to where Lothos and his two hired goon can be found.
Meanwhile, Sam is still looking for Lothos, when...
Lothos: Steps out of the shadows, holding a gun. Hold it right there, Sam! Sam: Holds up her own gun. I'm armed too, Lothos. Kole and I took care of your hired thugs. Lothos: Well, now, looks like we got ourselves an old fashioned stand off...

Back with Alexei…
The guys have managed to overtake him and are now blocking his car, forcing him to stop.
Alexei: Let me pass! Kole and Sam need me. Ivan K: No way! You are coming home with us right now. Dimitri M: You can’t look for them all by yourself. You don’t even know where they are. Let the police do their job. Ivan S: Be reasonable, don’t force us to convince you the hard way. Alexei: Obviously, your wives didn’t tell you. Odd, since I phoned them not too long ago. Dimitri C-B: What are you talking about? They asked us to bring you home, and that’s what we're doing. Alexei: Listen, I know where Kole and Sam are. It's a building called Anchor Munitions. We need to get there quickly. If you guys want to wait for the police, fine. I’ll go there alone. Don’t try to stop me. Ivan K: But how do you know where they are? Alexei: I got a call from Kole a few moments ago. She and Sam were tied up, but they managed to escape. So will you help me or not? Dimitri M: I’m coming with you. Ivan K: I think I can speak for the rest of us when I say us too. Alexei: Thanks. Do any of you have any guns? I only have one. Dimitri C-B: We have one in our car. Still not enough, but we’ll manage anyway.
Anichkov Palace…
Maria: I’m going crazy, waiting like that. Anastasia: Me too. What are the police doing? Do you think they have arrested that Lothos guy yet? Maria: I have no idea. Anastasia: I’m going to call them. Marie: You just did so, not five minutes ago. Anastasia: I know, but this waiting is unbearable. Phones the police. Hello, still no news of Kole and Sam? Hangs up. No, no news at all. And the police are getting fed up of me calling. Maria: Perhaps Alexei wasn’t so wrong after all. Anastasia: What? Maria: I’m starting to think he was right by going himself in search of Kole and Sam. Anastasia: No, he was wrong. He’s a father now, his little Marie needs him. He can’t just leave like that. Can you imagine either of us doing the same thing? Maria: No, I can’t. Anastasia: Neither can I. Maria: Do you think we should call him or the guys? Maybe they’ve got some news. Anastasia: No. If they’re already there, it’s not a good idea. Imagine calling while they’re trying to sneak into the building. Maria: So, I guess we just have to wait patiently here.

Kole is still waiting outside Anchor Munitions, when Alexei and the guys arrive...
Alexei: KOLE! Runs over and gives his wife a big hug. Thank God, thank God. I was worried I'd never see you again! Kole: I'm fine, Alexei. I'm safe. Looks at the rest of the guys. I see you brought reinforcements. Alexei: Actually, they originally wanted to stop me. Long story. Looks at the gun in Kole's hand. Where did you get that? Kole: When Sam and I overpowered Lothos's goons, we relieved them of their guns. Sam took the other one. Dimitri C-B: Where is Sam? Kole: Still inside. She said she wanted to deal with Lothos herself. Ivan S: How can she be so stupid? Has she forgotten she doesn't have her powers anymore? Kole: Gives him dagger eyes. I would remind you, Ivan, that Sam and I escaped, WITHOUT any such powers! Ivan S: Yeah, yeah, sorry about that, Kole. It's been a long day. Kole: No offense taken. Why don't we go in and give Sam a hand. Alexei: Let's go.
Meanwhile, the stand off between Sam and Lothos continues...
Lothos: You don't want to hurt me, Sam, I'm the only chance you've got. Sam: What do you mean? Lothos: Pulls out the Amulet Of Hogthor. I mean only I know how to work this. I can take you back to 2011 with me. Just think, you can see your family and friends again. Sam: Just a few moments ago, you were ready to hand Kole and I over to the worst butchers this planet will ever see. Now you want to help me? Lothos: Let's just say, I'll take you back, if certain conditions are met. Sam: Ever watch Judge Judy? Lothos: What the hell are you talking about? Sam: Great legal show. When someone tries to pull a fast one on her, she points to her forehead and says: Does it say 'stupid' up here? Well, I feel the same way. No deal, Lothos. Lothos: Without me, you'll spend the rest of your life stuck back here. I wouldn't count on your friend, Castiel, coming to get you. He has his own issues to deal with now, I doubt he has time for you anymore. At that point, Kole, Alexei, and the guys burst in. Kole: Hold it right there, Lothos! Alexei: We have you outnumbered. Dimitri M: Give it up, it's over. Lothos: Realizes he's beaten. Very well. Farewell, Samantha Cohen, I hope you enjoy the years to come! HA! HA! HA! Before anyone can stop him, he grabs the Amulet Of Hogthor and vanishes. Ivan K: Where did he go? Sam: Back to my time, 2011. Dimitri M: Well, he got away, but at least Kole and Sam are safe. All: Amen! At that point, police sirens can be heard, getting closer. Alexei: Looks like the police finally clued in. Kole: I imagine they'll take care of Lothos's goons. Sam: Can we go home now? Kole: I agree, let's blow this joint. Ivan S: I'll call our wives and tell them we're on our way back, with Kole and Sam both safe. Dimitri C-B: They'll be glad to hear that.
***those of you following the last few seasons of Supernatural will know what I mean about Castiel's issues***

On the way home...
Ivan S: On the phone with Maria. Angel, I’ve got good news. That Lothos guy won’t be a problem anymore. His thugs have been arrested. Maria: That’s great news. We were so worried about you all. Is everyone okay? What about Sam and Kole? Ivan S: Everyone’s fine. We’re on our way back home with both of them. They’re doing well, just tired. Kole is asleep in the car, and Sam is trying very hard not to fall asleep too. Maria: It’s understandable. Emotions can make you feel exhausted sometimes. And they’ve been through a lot. Ivan S: Sure. Anyway, we should be home soon. I hope there's some leftovers from dinner, because I’m starving. Maria: We were so anxious about you that nobody has eaten a bite. I didn’t even prepare the meal. I can bake you something quickly if you want. Ivan S: Yes, please do, my Angel. I love your cooking.
Anichkov Palace...
Anastasia: They’re here! They’re here! I hear their cars! Rushes to the front door and almost knocks over Olga on the way. Olga: Hey, be careful! Anastasia: Rushes outside. Sam! I’m so glad you’re fine! Hugs Sam. Sam: Nastya… please. Can’t…breathe. Anastasia: Oh I’m sorry. Lets go. Sam: Thanks, I… Tatiana: Comes out of the palace. Sam! Oh we’ve been worried sick! Hugs her tight. Sam: Tatiana…Not you too….Do you… wish to… asphyxiate me? Maria: Joins the group. Sam! Sam: Please, don’t do…Maria hugs her too. ..that! Olga: Sam, we’re only doing this because we’re so happy to see you again. Where’s Kole? I don’t see her. Alexei: She’s sleeping in the car. Don’t wake her up, she’s exhausted. Sam: I am too. I think I’m going right to bed. Alexei: Kole and I, we’re going back to our apartment. I just have to pick up Marie, and then we’re leaving. Maria: You don’t want to eat a little before you go? I’ve cooked something for you all. Alexei: No, sorry, I’m not hungry, and it’s getting late. Thanks anyway.
After Alexei has left...
Nicholas: Is that Lothos really gone? The police said they’ve arrested only his goons, Oleg and Max. So where is he? Dimitri M: He has gone back to his time, 2011. Nicholas: But how? Ivan K; Sam said he had an amulet. I don’t remember its name. It allowed him to track down his enemies, no matter where or when they were. When he saw that he had lost, he used this amulet to return to the future. Dimitri C-B: Good riddance! Nicholas: I wouldn’t be so sure if I were you. Even though he’s returned to his own time, he still has this amulet. So that means he can come back here whenever he wants. Ivan S: If he does, we’ll be ready for him. Dimitri M: And I’m sure Hitler will think twice before making any more deals with him. He’s probably thinking that Lothos pulled a fast one on him. Ivan S: Good luck to Lothos if he ever wants to go to Germany now.

Alexei and Kole arrive home...
Alexei: Kole? Wake up. Kole: In a sleepy voice. Alexei? Where are we? Alexei: Home. I dropped Sam off at the palace and picked up Marie. Kole: I must have slept through it all. Alexei: Well, you did have an exhausting time. I decided it was best to let you sleep. You can greet everyone at a later time. They get out of the car, Alexei holding Marie. Kole: Is Marie okay? Alexei: She's fine. She's asleep herself. Kole: Thank God she's too young to realize what happened. Alexei: I agree. Are you hungry, Kole? Kole: No, just tired. If it's okay, I'm going straight to bed. See you later.
Anichkov Palace, the next day...
Anastasia: Knocking on Sam's door. Sam? Are you awake? Sam: Yes. Come in. Anastasia: Enters the room and sees Sam sitting on her bed. Sam, are you okay? You missed breakfast and it's lunch time. Tatiana is getting ready to come up and give you a medical examination. Sam: Smiles. Tell the doc that I'm fine. I'm just a little upset over what Lothos said, before he left. Anastasia: You mean that bit where he said he hoped you liked the years ahead. The guys filled us in on what went down. Sam: Yeah, that's it. He just had to rub it in my face that I didn't have my powers anymore. It's the only victory he could have over me, that son of a bitch! Anastasia: Sam, we're here for you if you need us. We owe you so much, after all the help you've given us over the years. Sam: I know, and I appreciate it. Anastasia: I even tried to help you, when you were in that coma. Sam: You did? How so? Anastasia: I figured that perhaps someone in the future could help you. However, when I tried to go there myself, I couldn't. Neither could my sisters. Sam: Nastya, the powers you and your sisters had came from my powers, and were thus linked to them. When my powers were eliminated, so were all of yours. Anastasia: Yeah, we figured as much. Still, we miss being able to conjure up movies from the future and visiting your Sanctuary, where you have all those cool animals. What's going to happen to that, by the way. Sam: I imagine my family will take over looking after it. Anastasia: That's good to know. Sam: Maybe they'll put Gharman in charge of it. Anastasia: Who's Gharman? Sam: My son. He's my first born child. He's the only boy. Anastasia: That's right. Sometimes I forget you have four children. Sam: I can say that myself, considering how often I've seen them. Falls silent. Anastasia: Hey, if... Sam: If it's okay, Imp, I'd rather not talk about this right now. Anastasia: That's okay, Sam, I understand. Sam: You said it was lunch time. Why don't we go down and eat. Anastasia: Right, let's go. Oh, and Tatiana will still want to examine you. Just agree and make her happy. Sam: I will.
Back with Alexei and Kole...
Alexei: Kole, you're finally up. Kole: What do you mean? What time is it? Alexei: Lunch time. Kole: What!? I've never slept in that late. Alexei: You've never been kidnapped before either. Kole: That's true. Alexei: I figure we'll have lunch and then go over to the palace. Tatiana might want to examine you. Kole: Alexei, I'm fine. Alexei: Yeah, but you know the Governess. Just agree to the examination to appease her. Kole: Okay.

Anichkov Palace, later that day...
Maria: Before Olga and Dimitri move to their new apartment, why don’t we all go out to a restaurant to celebrate Kole and Sam’s return? Anastasia: I’m down with that. Ivan S: You can count us in too. Maria: And what are the Big Pair saying? Tatiana: It’s a good idea, you can add us to the list. Maria: Alexei recommended me Jacques’s Bistro, he went there with Kole a few weeks ago. From what he told me, the food is excellent. Dimitri M: I’ve never been to a French restaurant before, so it’ll be the first time for me. Olga: What about the children? Maria: The oldest can come with us, and I’ll call a babysitter for the babies. Anastasia: I imagine Uncle Misha would be up for the chance to babysit his younger nieces and nephews. Maria: I'll call him and ask. Tatiana: Sounds a good plan. Are Kole and Alexei coming too? Maria: I sent them a sms and they said yes. Now, I just have to call Papa and Mama to ask them too.
Alexander Palace...
Nicholas: I just got off the phone with Mashka. They want to organize a family reunion at a French restaurant, Jacques’s Bistro. It’s near Alexei and Kole’s building. She asked me if we wanted to come. What do you think of it? Alexandra: Great idea. Tell her that it’s okay for us. Nicholas: Very well, I’ll call her back.

Later, at the restaurant...
Kole: While I appreciate this, it really wasn't necessary. Sam: I agree. Maria: Nonsense. We're really glad to have the two of you back safely. Anastasia: We had to celebrate it. You two may not have been born related to us, but you're family all the same. Both Kole and Sam are touched. Tatiana: I must say, the food here is excellent. Alexei: I told you it was good. Olga is silent. Tatiana: Olga, are you okay? Olga: I'm fine. It just occurred to me that moving day is two days away. Dimitri C-B: You're not having second thoughts, I hope. Olga: No, but it is a big step for me. However, I'm committed to this move. Nicholas: I remember the time you all moved out the Alexander Palace. Sam: Oh yeah, Nicky, I remember too. You kept phoning us every five minutes, asking if we're okay. Nicholas: Well, it was the first time my daughters had moved away from home. Alexandra: Nicky, we had to let them go sometime. Nicholas: I know, but it's never easy to let go. Tatiana: I know, and we feel the same way about Olga. However, she won't be too far away from us. Kole: She'll just be too floors above Alexei and I. You still see us all the time, you'll still see them. Tatiana: That does give me comfort.
Moving Day...
Dimitri C-B: Okay, back up the truck! You hear the 'beep, beep, beep,' of a truck backing up. Alexei: Me and the rest of the guys are ready to help you start loading your stuff into the truck. Dimitri C-B: Right, let's get to work.
