- Who is it?
- Baron Schtoll in the flesh. He was going to find the Sannikov Land.
- Where did they find the body?
- North of the Kotelny island
- What about others?
- Did not find them.
17 lives... Too many...
- Good day, Trifon Stepanovich. We've been waiting for you.
We were on tenterhooks...
- Hello, Ignaty. Why do you have a criss-cross snoot?
- I've got many things to care of, Trifon Stepanovich.
While you were enjoying your time at the mine a certain Aleksandr Petrovich El'yin...
...paid visits to this place 3 times a day.
He wanted to see you in person.
- Who is El'yin? A merchant?
- No, the colonist...
... the one under surveillance...
- I don't want to deal with this one!
I avoid such people like the plague. Arrange the bath-house...
...and bring me the bills. Move!
- El'yin Aleksandr Petrovich
- Ignaty!!! Why did you let him in?
- Trifon Stepanovich, 'strewth! I didn't!
Last time I turned him out of doors.
He might be a turnskin.
- Fool! Send him packing!
- OK. The exit is that way!
- Trifon Syepanovich, I won't take much of your time...
... I have a business offer and it might be very profitable for you.
- Well?
- I intend to get to the Sannikov Land any time soon.
- What sort of land?
- 100 years ago Sannikov, a tradesman from Kotelny island, spotted this land.
Since that time no one could reach it.
- What does it matter to me?
- Your Nikolsky mine is depleting.
- Lies! Who told you that?
- It's true. I have absolutely reliable information. Look.
- After a couple of years your gold mine will deplete. What if a new land turns out to be second Alaska?
- Remember we had sold Alaska for a song and kept kicking ourselves after.
- How much will your second Alaska set back?
- I've calculated everything.  It's cheap.
- I'm sure that Sannikov Land really exists. I'm going to find it...
...Each spring birds are flying north, to the pole.
- Wait, but there's ice out there?
- Where do those stupid birds are flying to?
- Do you know about strange disappearance of the whole Onkilon tribe?..
..They left the continent 400 years ago. And since that time no one heard of them...
...Come on!
-  Where are you going to find madmen for this sacrifice?
- One of them is right in front of you. It means there will be others.
There was a sunrise, a rainbow was blooming. Everything's over. The love is gone.
The sundown was flaming, the rainfall was tapping the glass. But now it's all over and done with...
