It's simple: Boy works for the government and falls in love with girl. Girl is actually a spy for the Reds (I assume this takes place circa 1970-1980) and uses boy to get the documents she needs. Boy figures out she's a spy (as is evidenced by the "They'll never catch me now" part), and she promises him that they'll escape together (We will escape somehow).
What happens next isn't clear. My best guess is that she leaves without him. He feels betrayed but goes on with his life. I base this on the fact that there is no description of her leaving, but she seems to just disappear. At any rate, boy recieves a call from girl, who doesn't know where else to turn. She's returned to the Soviet Union and for whatever reason, the higher-ups in the KGB have lost faith with her and she's in trouble.
Boy goes to help her, and bribes a KGB member to let her off. They meet one last time at the gates of the American embassy in St. Petersburg. He leaves. What becomes of the girl is uncertain, but the end holds some clues. It would seem that she returns to the United States, possibly by her own voilition, but the more likely option is that she's been sent on another assignment. She sees her old lover briefly, but cannot chance to see him again.
Is it possible that she was an international spy for the Germans in the WWII era? This might mean she was, in fact, picked up in Russia. Therefore he would get her 'secreted away' in Russia rather than have them turn her over to the Americans, because surprise, they were allies at that time.

My reason for this perspective is that they were 'there in fours' which, to me, brings to mind a marching procession four abreast, or 4 people wide, which bespeaks of marching through the streets.

The only people I can imagine marching through the streets 4 people wide with arms held high is the Germans circa WWII.
