Hostages Page #3

Wait, I'll buy some champagne

and I'll come back.

Alright.

We'll go up then.

I think I'm still hungover.

Today isn't my shift,

but I came out to work because of you.

I looked at my alarm clock and I was afraid

that I was late.

Oh, it's so nice here.

Is that our plane?

Yeah, it's a Tu.

Wasn't it supposed

to be a Yak?

They changed it

in the morning.

What?

When there aren't enough passengers,

we combine 2flights into 1.

- So there's going to be more passengers?

- What, you wanted to fly by yourself?

First you'll go to Batumi,

and then they will continue to Leningrad.

Put your bag up

for screening.

- Here?

- On the table.

If they start searching us,

go back home.

What?

Don't embarrass me.

Where is it customary

to search a groom and bride?!

- Take the next flight.

- Are you crazy?

Come on,

I was at their wedding

yesterday.

They're so nice!

Will you accompany us?

Thanks, guys.

How are you, Ivanich?

Ready for take-off.

Quite full today.

- Hi, Manana! How are you?

- I'm fine.

Please take good care of my friends.

Hello.

They will get the first-class treatment.

- They were married yesterday.

- Congratulations.

Lucky them.

Give me the bag.

How are you?

Please proceed to your seats.

Oh, we're celebrating a wedding.

Let them through.

Good afternoon!

- Hi, I'm Lasha.

- Tamuna.

May your life be long

and happy.

For you.

You're a good boy

for coming.

Don't drink too much.

- Give me something stronger.

- I bought it for the pilots.

I won't drink it all.

- You're the witness, right?

- Yeah.

- You cannot go there!

- I have a present for the pilot.

He has a present for you.

From the groom.

Thank you, friend.

Once we get to Leningrad

I'll be happy to drink it.

Take the bottle, please.

Please take your seat.

I'll walk you to your seat.

- What're you celebrating, dears?

- A wedding.

- Who's?

- Here.

Oh, my dear.

I wish you

a great many children.

That's enough,

leave some for us.

Please move to your seat.

Wait a minute.

Take a look this way.

Oh, you're that boy,

from the film.

You recognize me?

The little boy from the movies.

And look at him now,

starting his own family.

Let me give you a hug!

What was your dance?

Dance, dance.

Please, get to your seat!

I know that this is a plane and not a bus.

I'm getting tired of you, witch!

Everybody, take your seats now!

Good afternoon, dear passengers.

Pilot Merab Dolidze welcomes you

on board of TU-134...

- Put your head on my shoulder.

- I don't want to.

We'll be arriving in 45 minutes.

Vera, high winds in Batumi.

30 minutes' delay.

Dear passengers, due to the weather

conditions our take-off is delayed.

- For how long?

- It will be announced.

I have business in Batumi,

people are waiting for me!

Sit down, please.

There's a drunk passenger.

I'm sick of you.

Your documents.

Calm down,

I'm sure that everything will be alright.

I'm sure that nothing bad

will happen.

I'll return your passport

as soon as we land.

Take a seat in the

front, please.

He's drunk a lot.

I guess that's the attendant?

Our aircraft is ready for take-off.

Please, fasten your seat belts.

Pull your seats into the upright position.

Ready for take-off.

Course 320 degrees.

Retract the landing gear.

Where are they?

Let's start?

- I think it's him.

- In the leather jacket?

He hasn't taken his eyes off of us.

And he talked to the police officers.

Come here.

- Has it been 10 minutes since take off?

- Yeah.

Maybe we should start?

Let's wait just a little longer.

- Are you afraid?

- No, what does fear have to do with it?

- So what's your groom's name?

- Nika. Have you seen him in the films?

We don't have time for films.

- Are you also an actor?

- No, I am a painter.

Can you draw my portrait?

- Here?

- Why not?

Would you like champagne?

Alcohol is not allowed

on domestic flights.

Even on international flights.

How do you know?

I'm getting ready to take a test

for international flights.

I will be flying around the world.

Yes. I'm listening.

Ok.

Turning back to Tbilisi.

Dear passengers, due to bad

weather conditions in Batumi

we are turning back to Tbilisi.

Please take your seats.

Why are we turning back?

They've realized

something, we need to start.

Wait, don't panic.

- I haven't shot from this one before.

- Give it to Sandro.

If we had taken the bus,

we would have been there by now.

Koka says for me to

take care of that guy.

Alright, do it.

- I don't have a gun. How?

- I don't know, try something, a bottle.

Don't panic,

wait for us here.

Hey! What are you doing?

Get off!

What have you done?

Don't yell.

Get on the damn ground!

Hold his head!

Hold him!

- Are you with the authorities?

- No.

Then why did you sit here, damn it!

Why?

What're you doing?

Don't shoot, don't shoot!

Who shot?

The door, Merab,

the door!

Move him out! Lock up the cockpit!

Come on!

Faster, faster!

Oto!

Get up,

don't look that way.

Flight809. We are under attack!

Heading for Tbilisi.

Lasha.

I think they've killed me.

The bullet hit my lung.

Oh Lord, it's Tbilisi.

Koka, don't do it.

We shouldn't have done this.

Landed, commander.

There are soldiers on the runway!

Don't shoot! Don't shoot!

Jump!

Get up.

Stay here.

- Stay here.

- Don't kill me.

There are two of them

in the back of the plane.

Both have grenades.

Which one of you

is Nino?

You need to accompany me to the airport.

Get dressed.

- What happened?

- I'll tell you on the way.

Hello.

Get dressed.

Nino,

I'll come with you.

No,

only the lady.

Forgive me, but...

- What's going on here?

- Follow me.

- What happened, Tengiz?

- Calm down, don't panic.

They don't have anything on Nika

yet.

They're saying that he fell

under the influence of those guys.

Give us some time to work.

Nino, dear.

Sit down,

don't talk.

Wait here, please.

Lasha,

someone needs to go out.

Who?

I don't know.

We need to talk to them.

Can I go out?

Let Tamuna go.

Alright.

Listen.

Tell them

that we need a new plane.

This one

won't be able to take off.

And let the wounded out.

I'll decide for myself

who to let out.

- My brother is wounded.

- Stop, Lasha.

- Did you understand?

- Yeah, a new plane.

Jump, jump.

No, it's not me! I'm now with them!

It's not me!

Calm down, quiet,

don't be afraid.

Thank you.

Our young ones,

our children,

I address you as a parent,

as your elder comrade,

for your safety.

I'm begging you,

putdown your weapons, let the hostages go,

and leave the airplane.

We must do everything

to prevent bloodshed.

The Soviet leadership

guarantees,

that if you surrender,

your life

will be spared.

Someone needs

to read the Bible.

Read it.

The letters are small,

I can't see.

Thank you.

- I told you to read.

- I can't see.

Who can read?

I'll read.

Shoot me, I'm tired.

Nika, I'm begging you.

Please.

Take care of her.

Come in.

- Do I need to take this off?

- The officer will tell you.

Take that off.
