DAY 10 IN CAPTIVITY
Good day, Volodya.
Salam Aleikum.
- Alaikum As-Salam.
- You look nice!
Did you get those medals because of us?
- Do all your pilots wear such uniform?
- No, only me.
I'm now the head of the air force.
Teach my men to fly.
Take-off, navigation, controls.
We'll move you to the governor's house,
good food, good beds.
How much?
We'll make a deal.
- How much time will it take?
- Three or four months.
- If you said 2 days, I would've given it a thought.
- I didn't ask you. Volodya?
No, Adel.
Here!
You'll mark off.
- Mark off what?
- The days.
It is now the 3rd week that the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russian Federation
is trying to resolve the situation
with the captive Russian pilots
who were imprisoned in Afghanistan.
The situation is complicated by the fact
that the country is in the midst of civil war.
Russian airplane was grounded
in the vicinity of Kandahar city...
on territory that is under the control of insurgents
who call themselves the Taliban.
What do I care about your Kandahar?
Here we have Kandahar from dawn till dusk.
Here.
Could've at least called us by names.
Pilots!
You want fame? It's okay, we'll get through.
The Consul said they're planning some ransom.
Ivanovich... I'm not Vitek,
don't give me your congressional speech here.
They can't forget about us,
we're Russian pilots after all!
Yeah... you especially!
- It hurts... there's swelling.
- What've you got there? Let me look.
- Looks alright.
- Here.
A keepsake.
Sergey...
Sergey!
Where are you going?
I don't get you, guys, you chatter and chatter,
like women, you've put on those pyjamas...
You can stay here, if you want,
but I'm leaving.
Maybe he's right...
we catch a car to the airport, and then..!
Why are we sitting here like some Albanians?
He won't do it again! Don't!
He won't do it anymore!
Who told you that I won't do it again?
DAY 46 IN CAPTIVITY
I don't really feel it... just a little bit...
Only it's really cold.
Mullah said
that first Allah must forgive this.
Must study the Koran.
Right here... take it!
- Take it.
- I won't read it. I'm baptised.
Doctor!
Give it to me. Where do I read?
- Here?
- Yes.
- Hail Allah... lord of the world sent to Earth...
- In Arabic.
- In Arabic.
- I don't know Arabic. I'll learn then...
All you must learn it... all!
- Here, read.
- Me?
I don't know how.
Already?
Let him not do anything.
I can't learn it fast anyways.
Vakula... what's with you?
You need a doctor?
Then read it.
Ivanovich read it and didn't break down.
I can't, I'm baptised.
Then don't read it!
Why are you like a virgin: I will learn, I won't learn.
If you want to be healed, then read the Koran.
If you believe your own God, then read
"Our Father" or whatever else you've got there.
Let me read it to you. I could care less!
- Where do I read? Here?
- Read, read.
So, Vakula, do I read?
Or will you read for your health yourself?
Look here... with all those monograms? Well?
That's better! Otherwise he was
lying there like in a mausoleum.
- Has it been long?
- 3 days.
- How..?
- 3 days you were out of it. Maybe eat something?
What day... what day is it?
The 13th, why do you ask?
Wedding... today...
my daughter's.
What...
what do you keep looking at me for?
We'll pay you!
We didn't do anything!
