need to work....
start the plane.
Adel forbid us to start the plane.
I said start it.
Now! Right now!
Generator on board,
start VSU.
VSU is on.
Volodya... let's fly!
- What?
- Let's fly!
- What?
- Let's fly!
- What?
Have you gone deaf?
First, fourth, start!
Generators on board!
- Fourth engine is on.
- Vitek, turn on the navigation!
First is on.
All engines are on.
50...
Oh Lord!
80...
Go, go, go...
- 110...
- Go, go, go!
140...
Go, go, go!
Mechanics for take-off!
Done, mechanics for take-off.
180...
Go, go, go!
- Go!
- 200...
We can't fly without Sergey.
- Either all of us or no one.
- They'll kill everyone...
and me too!
Why did I get involved with you guys?
Don't fear, Misha, they won't kill.
Kandahar tower...
send us a trailer truck.
You're a fool for not flying away.
I am a fool.
Would you have flown away?
I said that you're a fool.
We need to start the engines. The plane needs
a preventive run, otherwise might be an explosion.
Volodya, tomorrow is a Muslim holiday.
Tomorrow everyone rests...
you also rest tomorrow.
The airplane is very expensive.
You could exchange it for a lot of weapons.
Tell that to your leader...
Only we have to change the chassis first.
Misha... get us a sheep.
- Just want to eat some meat.
- Alright.
Let's take his car?
Uazik. Carries the keys on him.
- And then?
- Then we go for the mountains, as long as the gas lasts,
once we get to Kabul,
our people can rescue us from there.
There are two who sleep on the roof.
I can handle one myself,
the other one I throw down to you.
You take him,
then we have two machine guns.
Kill them? How?
- I couldn't do it.
- And what if he kills you or Vitek?
DAY 379 IN CAPTIVITY
Tomorrow we leave.
- What about Vladimir Korpatov?
- We take him with us.
- They're gonna bring some lamb.
- Some holiday?
No, not really. Just because.
When is your birthday?
- In March.
- Mine is in October; Sergey's in February.
Mine was a month ago.
We missed it... need to celebrate it.
Misha, is that all?
Yes... that's all.
We missed my birthday too.
In that case...
Get the glasses!
It's what's left from Marik (vodka).
A pilot in Russia is more than just a pilot.
- Let's do it.
- Not full, not full.
Remember, how when we were flying from
Buenos Aires Marik loaded up all the tanks with alcohol?
We could barely lift off.
- The hangar roof was torn off.
- Well, we lifted-off just fine.
I remember Vakula was yelling back then:
"Oh, dear, dear, we're going to crash!"
Let's drink to Ivanovich then?
Let's. Happy birthday!
Thank you.
Oi, dear, dear, oi!
- Vakula, you had a granddaughter born.
- Well?
To the granddaughter then?
Listen, why did the daughter give birth so soon?
Before the wedding she already had a tummy.
- To the granddaughter!
- To the grandfather.
Oi, dear, dear... oi!
Sergey, when in February is your birthday?
the 23rd...
The Day of Soviet Army.
Thank you.
My mother-in-law's is on the 29th.
To the mother-in-law then!
- When are you gonna find a bride?
- As if I can find anyone here.
They all walk around covered with bags here.
Listen, Sergey...
Only give me an honest answer...
Did you have anything with Ninka?
With Nina?
I didn't have anything.
No, Ivanovich, if you mean that particular incident...
no... no... then she came herself,
with a cleavage... all exposed.
She had a bottle of champagne,
the cake "Fairytale" with roses on it...
the cabin was small, as you understand...
Give me a bottle of water.
What are you laughing at Vakula?
Where's Vladimir Ivanovich?
Vladimir Ivanovich betrayed us.
We need to change a wheel. It has a flat tire.
Does a MiG airplane have a speed of 1000 km?
What are you standing around for?
We need to change a wheel.
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon...
roll it... towards me.
Taxiing area. The tower is here.
One anti-aircraft gun. Another one - over here.
Usually no one there.
Take-off ramp ends right at the minefield,
so
