you'll have to kill me first.

Come on, grandpa. You saved me.

You heard what I said.

Well, then. I give you my word

that I won't kill him in your house.

But as soon as he goes out,

I'll do my thing.

I will hope to see you in Estonia.

When will you leave?

A car will come in the morning.

- Be careful than.

- No big deal,

half an hour to the airport,

and on from there.

Godspeed'

what are you doing here?

Sell your tangerines

and come along.

The former life is gone.

That's it. The end.

You know very well

why I'm staying.

You better think of

your granddaughter.

Mari is well,

I don't worry about her.

Juhan. Thank you.

Medicines are in the closet,

I left the instructions there, too.

Take care'

Up already?

I'm better. Can't lie anymore.

My clothes suit you.

Easy, easy!

You must eat a lot.

Recover your strength.

I'm not hungry.

I'm telling you, eat!

- Want some tea?

- Yes'

Thank you for saving me.

You're welcome. Eat.

I apologise once more for

the bad word I said hack then.

I'm nervous. But usually,

we honour old people. Very much.

Apology accepted.

Your wound is painful? Not much.

Where did you bury my friend?

In the woods.

- What's your name?

- Ahmed.

But you are not interested

in my name?

I am, - I'm Ivo.

I'm a Chechen, a soldier.

- A mercenary?

- Yes.

Understood'

- You have a family?

- Yes.

I went to war because of them.

I get paid well.

Went to war because of them?

Don't start to moralize.

I told you that I honour

old people,

but it's none of your business.

None, Ivo.

Correct, I'm Ivo.

Ivo...

Where's my gun? In a safe place.

You get hatter, I'll give it back.

Even trophy guns of the Georgians.

These are yours, mo, right?

I want to ask something.

Ask then'

I have to tell you,

if I give my word of honour,

I rather die than break it.

Right. I'm like that, too.

So I don't have to lack

that door anymore?

Listen, Ivo, you, an Estonian,

are rather dying

than breaking your word.

You are asking me, a Caucasian,

a mountaineer, if I keep mine?

For us, it means everything.

I promised not to kill

in your house, so I won't.

Very well'

But an Estonian or a Caucasian,

it does not make any difference.

Ivo, why didn't you leave

for Estonia?

But that is none

of your business, young man.

Our work is completely pointless,

if we won't get any help.

I have only picked two crates

doring that time.

Can't pick any more.

If the help will not arrive

tomorrow, we are screwed.

What did the major

exactly tell you?

That they'll come

if something will not happen.

If something does not happen.

Unless they are stationed

somewhere else. They won't be.

They've been guarding the entrance

for two weeks'

Why should anything

happen tomorrow?

I don't know'

It sure would he strange

if soldiers would pick

tangerines in wartime.

You are strange.

The major promised.

Well, God help us. I hope, mo.

Don't worry, Ivo.

They will come.

War news from the radio.

Easy. Easy.

No hurry'

Good boy.

Sit down'

How are you feeling?

Head is slightly spinning.

It's nothing.

We found this in your head.

And these in your pockets.

- Some tea?

- Yes.

Ahmed, drink up your tea.

It will cool down.

Ok then, enemies.

He's Ahmed, he's Nika.

Pleased to meet you.

You know, Georgian, you may

know already, don't be afraid.

I have promised to our saviour

not to kill you in his house.

So if you want to live,

don't go out.

Don't even extend your head out,

as I will chop it uff at once.

But can he pee out the window?

Enough!

Enough.

I'm sorry, Ivo.

So they didn't come?

Some tea?

Well, don't worry

about the tangerines.

It's idiotic anyway to start a

tangerine business in wartime.

He doesn't happen to be

your relative?

Margus!

Come in, why are you

standing there?

I don't know,

I thought you got mad at me.

Forget it. Come in.

Let's sit outside.

The weather is fair.

I don't want to leave them

alone for too long.

You are not afraid

they will kill each other?

The Chechen gave his word.

- And you believe him?

- I do'

- But the Georgian?

- He, too.

Well, since you have (heir word...

Don't he surprised, there are

people worth their word.

And both of them in your house?

Leave it alone.

Maybe you want to send

one over to my place?

No, the skirmish took place

at your gate.

They broke your fence.

You can see the van from

your house, and so on.

No, it's safer at my place.

Yes, quite.

Come to my place this evening'

The boys will retire

early, let's get a drink.

Agreed.

So, this evening?

Don't get mad at me, but maybe

you'll come to Estonia with me?

Ivo, maybe we could find

another melody? It drives me crazy.

But I like it' I'm listening.

But what sort of music

do you like, Georgian?

I don't like this one.

Georgian music?

I like Georgian music.

And Georgian land, tau?

Where's the Georgian land? Here.

The one you are sitting on,

is Georgian land.

You're sitting on Georgian land.

No'

I'm sitting on an Estonian chair.

Vary funny.

Yes, on an Estonian chair

standing in an Estonian house

that's standing on

an Abkhazian land.

Listen, did you go to school

at all? Do you have schools?

What?

I'm asking if you have schools.

What are you smirking at, alien.

What have you lost here in Georgia?

I'm here to protect a tiny nation

from evil aliens like you!

It seems that you really

don't have schools there.

You don't understand a thing.

Don't know a thing'

Didn't study any history?

Haven't read any books?

I'm not going to be offended by you,

I don't care what you're blabbering.

You are safe hare,

blabber all you want.

Ok, let's go outside right now!

You can't even walk!

I could kill you with a rag.

Wouldn't be too manly.

Recover first, then we'll see

what'll be left of you.

You son of a b*tch!

Don't brag if you're not

good for it! F***ing maggot!

Get lost from my country, c*nt!

I'm telling You, idiot,

it's not Georgian land!

Go ahead, sleep. You don't

have much time left.

Enough, Ahmed!

Sorry, Ivo, but will you tell him

to shut up, too?

You will shut up soon!

Quiet...

- Good morning, Ivo!

- Hello.

- How are you?

- Recovering,

That's good.

And where's

your enemy? Still sleeping?

No, the enemy's not sleeping.

Good morning.

How's your head?

Pain is almost gone.

While standing.

It's difficult to lie.

But you can bake an example

from a horse. Sleep on your feet.

Am I talking to you?

Do horses talk at all?

Some humour.

Suits your intelligence well.

Ok, I'll behave.

- Some tea?

- Yes.

Shall I pour you. Bro?

On your head?

You don't want to try.

Again.

Thank you.

Ivo, is this your daughter?

No, his granddaughter.

What's her name?

None of your business.

There are cars approaching.

Ahmed, they are Ahkhazians.

If they enter,

will you give him away?

No, I have to kill him myself.

Good.

Then we tell them he's Ibrahim.

And you killed all the Georgians.

You're not asking ma?

Ivo, give me my gun!

Quit your foolish talk.
