Hostages Page #2

Does someone accompany the plane?

I think so, yeah.

- What do you mean, I think so?

- There probably are.

He is scared.

Did you say something to him?

On the contrary,

I'm taking care of him.

- Kote asked me to say hi to you.

- Who?

Our cameraman.

He asked about you.

What're you, holed up at home,

you don't go out?

Only at night, when everyone is sleeping.

I don't want to see their faces.

- Have you tried leaving?

- Where?

Anywhere.

America, for example.

What do you mean, Nika?

Have you tried?

Yeah, I ran around

for all the documents.

They said:
"Sorry,

you're not allowed to leave."

You know

what that means?

They didn't even let me go

to East Germany.

Look

how good it smells!

What if I go,

will you go with me?

If you take me with you.

Just find me a healthy woman

with an Israeli passport.

I'll marry her

and will gladly go.

Just don't tell your mom,

or she'll get worried.

I'm serious.

If we plan it out,

will you go?

What are you talking about,

where?

- From Batumi to Turkey.

- How?

Like that.

You tell the pilots.

It's 15 minutes to the border.

Who will let you enter into Turkey,

son?

You were always talking

about how you don't like living here.

We need to try

to get out somehow.

I'm not serious.

I'm just imagining.

Don't drive each other mad

with these fantasies.

Who set you to this?

Nobody.

But dad, no one

will willingly let us out of here.

If you try it yourself,

you'll end up in Siberia.

You're so afraid.

What does fear

have to do with it?

How do you know,

what I'm afraid of?

You're mistaken, boy.

You and your clever friends.

I sit here behind 4walls,

but I feel free.

Yeah, but you only leave

the house at night.

Should I live like that too?

Stop pretending

to be miserable.

Yeah, it's me,

Nika, hurry up,

we're waiting for you.

Mom, just second,

I'm in my underwear!

What're you embarrassed of?

I took care of you when you were an infant.

Come on.

Take that off.

Put this on.

Doesn't it look

like a police uniform?

- Do I look like an idiot?

- A little bit.

You're our wonderful boy.

- Can't I go to the wedding without a suit?

- You can't, son.

You can take it off after

and roll up your sleeves.

I'll sew the jacket to the shirt,

So he can't take it off.

Stop it,

don't tease him.

- What did you decide?

- Not here, I'll tell you later.

Alright.

Raise your arms.

What time is it?

Want me to teach you

how to shoot?

Get up then.

- That was loud.

- Well yeah, come here.

- Will it burn my hand?

- No, you saw I didn't burn mine.

- Like this?

- Wait.

Like this. Hold it.

- Let go.

- Aim like this.

Come on.

Why didn't it shoot?

I forgot to load it.

- Where's the ammo?

- In the bag.

You have so much stuff in here,

I can't find it.

It's there.

I can't find it.

Give it to me.

Why did you bring so

much stuff into the woods?

I wanted to.

- Then you look.

- I will.

Wait, where are you taking the gun?

Give it to me.

Here.

Let's drink

to the newlyweds!

Let's wish them good health

and happiness!

And many years!

Don't look so glum,

smile.

Let's stand

and drink to the newlyweds.

Stand up.

Nika, for you 2!

Be healthy, children.

Zuriko, don't drink so much,

tone it down a bit.

What, son?

What're you doing?

My dears!

I have a house outside of town.

I'll give you the keys, you can stay there

for as long as you want.

The garden is gorgeous.

And you'll have some rest

from your mother.

Dad didn't come?

- He didn't know that it was your wedding?

- He knew.

He didn't want to see

my relatives.

Look what I have!

Nika, throw one here.

- You'll take Tamuna tomorrow?

- Yeah.

- She's going, right?

- I already said yeah.

Where have you been?

You know

how I found out about your wedding?

From your mom.

I also found out

from my mom.

- Really though, where have you been?

- Oh, come on, stop pulling my leg.

Oh, if only you knew

how much I want to hide.

My legs are so tired,

I'm never wearing heels again.

It was a great wedding.

I had a lot of fun.

I think I'm drunk.

You didn't drink, you should have.

The wine was really good.

Who chose it?

Are you tired?

- That man is eavesdropping.

- Who?

He's wasted.

You're crazy.

I'm telling you,

he's eavesdropping.

Look, he's pretending.

You're losing your mind.

Why are you acting like this?

Forgive us, please.

What, the bride has run away

from her wedding?

Better to cry now

than later.

What, sister,

did someone offend you?

Did someone offend you?

No.

Let's go home.

Forgive me,

please.

Lieutenant, everything is OK.

Just family matters.

Yes, dear.

You're up already?

Yeah.

I'm OK.

How about you?

Great, I'll be waiting.

Don't call on all your friends,

we won't all fit in here.

Alright.

What did you decide?

- I think I have a fever, no?

- No.

Let me see.

Stop making things up.

But check anyway.

He can't not sleep at night,

he's not allowed.

- When are you flying?

- At8.

Couldn't you have put

off the filming?

Call them and tell them

that it's your wedding.

I can't mom.

I can't just bail on 100 people.

- Isn't a wedding a good reason?

- The wedding was yesterday.

Would you take a look

at him.

Alright, that's enough.

Here, look at it.

- Is there a fever?

- Yeah, you're doing.

Dying, huh?

Pick up the phone.

I talked to Manana,

she'll come out just for us.

She's waiting

at the airport.

Yeah?

What, are you afraid?

What does fear

have to do with it?

Alright,

I'm waiting for you at home.

Alright.

- What're you, sick?

- No, not really.

Did you tell the girls?

Are they coming?

Tamuna will come.

I bought the tickets.

We'll be the only ones

in the plane.

Here are yours.

Give me the bag.

It's over there,

show him, Nika.

Koka, let's go, I'll

give you something to eat.

No, thank you.

What's this bag?

What will fit in here?

I know you, you'll hardly bring

any clothes there and you'll get sick.

- Mom, what's the difference.

- What do you mean? We have so many bags.

Let's repack it in this.

I'll do it.

Don't forget warm clothes.

Mom, she knows.

Eat something

and then you can go.

I'll wait for you outside.

Let's avoid lengthy farewells

and tears.

Nika, my boy,

congratulations.

Let's raise a glass

for all of us.

He's been strange like this

since childhood.

You just keep eating,

huh?

- Nika, what happened?

- What, mom, what happened??

You'll tear my ear off.

How about Manala's dancing

at the wedding?

Alright, universal sadness!

- What, does he really like her?

- I think so.

What's wrong with you,

are you afraid of flying?

No, of course not.

Smile.

We're here.

Alright guys, off you go,

I have another order.

We will, just 2 minutes.

Manana,

how are you?

Give that here.

What's that?

I have a headache.

Give me one too.

Pass the water.

It was such a wonderful wedding,

I had so much fun.

Oh and I danced so much!

I didn't scare anyone, did I?

You have a wonderful mother.
