Nico is sitting there in complete boredom and then...

To translate for a student who is of the same country of ansectory

Who cannot speak English...

Later that night he speaks about "attroicities" that were committed against his family

To be deported to the US...

Alexi informs Nico of the dreamscape...where if you fall asleep at a certain time and day

Transported back or forward in time

And then they are transported back to post revolutionary Russia

Wake up to a Soviet soldier pointing a rifle at their heads

Back to the time of Stalin and his brutal regime as their ancestor

Marched out of their home they knew that they were to die

The cultivated a plan

Arm themselves and other captives

And find the man responsible for all their problems

For Nico to get home...but for Alexi

For death and retribution

Nico try's to change Alexi's mind.

They approach the Butcher's room

He did not see the evil sadistic man that killed his ancestor...

A broken man, sickly, depressed, and consumed by his own power

His knife he said....

Time has already taken him...he is finished"

But without Alexi...

He picks up a book entitled the History of Soviet Russia inside it a note that said

Thank You for accompanying me on our short journey.
