Igor was sad because he couldn’t do anything but follow the rules and leave his dearest friend he took Palma’s cart away from the runway and took the dog out and hugged him one last time and apologized for what he was going to do as he was stared at by his dog.
He threw the ball while Palma immediately took it but when he returned his boss was gone because he had boarded the plane. He immediately followed the plane and all the passenger’s looked at him except for Igor who stopped himself because Palma was blocking the runway and the pilot turned off the plane’s engine.

Then the airport guard received a complaint about the dog so they caught it immediately but Palma immediately ran away from them and met Sergey who was a caretaker in the hangar.

Kolya agrees and as they get out of the car they dare the minister to summon some reporters for live coverage of Igor’s return to gain sympathy for himself.
After a while Igor arrives and saw Palma waiting for him then Kolya gave the dog to Igor even though it was against his will. The Pilot talked to Igor and asked him to leave Palma in exchange for the money he would give. Igor also explained that he didn’t want to take Palma either but the minster forced him to do it and threatened him if he didn’t do it
