Take control of our own lives.

Be serious.

I'm very serious.

I feel this baby growing inside you.

I feel very strong and clear.

We gotta leave here, Dasha.

Shh. Be quiet! It's impossible.

Nik's getting out of here tonight,

and we're going with him.

Are you crazy? It will be suicide.

Listen to me.

We belong here.

Listen to me.

It's a chance for the baby

to have a real life, be free.

We can't ask a child

to grow up in this prison.

You know, you always talk about

freedom. You never ask me what I want.

I'll choose what I will do, nobody else.

The baby will make it worse for us.

They'll never leave us alone.

I won't leave.

This is my home! I'm Russian!

Things will change.

Change?

Our lives are worthless.

Look what we've become.

How dare you insult our lives.

What good am I gonna do to my kid

in a labor camp?

Stop it!

If we can make it to the consulate,

we'll be safe.

Kolya put pressure on

the State Department to get us out.

Please. It's dangerous.

I'm gonna do something right

this time.

Raymond, I love you.

Let's get this straight.

If I dance here again,

I'll dance only what I choose.

How dare you come in here like this.

You certainly won't be choosing

what I dance, and with whom.

Your ego is really incredible.

You're stuck here, face it.

And you'll dance, like it or not.

If you're clever,

you will not alienate me.

That's better.

Look. This is a tape of you I found

when you first came to Leningrad.

Ah, you see how young you were?

It was 20 years ago.

Yes.

But now you're back here

where you belong. Accept it.

If you can cross Griboyedov Canal

by midnight,

there will be an American diplomat

waiting for you at the Lion Bridge.

His name is Scott.

He will drive you to the consulate.

Thank you, my love.

Tell me, if I had asked you

to come with me the first time,

would you have come?

Probably not.

I wish you could come with me now.

You know I can't.

My place is here.

I'll never see you again.

Don't forget me.

I'll always love you.

Go now, please. Go fast.

Go.

We're getting rid of

your friends tomorrow.

Well?

We're going.

Cut the sh*t!

I know what you're up to.

I'm so tired of your vulgarity.

Leave her alone.

Listen, she's my wife!

Is that the law of the jungle?

You little a**hole.

Will you please stop it!

Yeah, I'll stop it.

Listen.

I want you out of our lives,

right now!

You'll get your wish soon enough.

Stop. Calm down.

Calm down? You see what

this little sh*t is trying to do?

All I have to do is tell Chaiko

I want you out of here tonight...

and you're gone.

You arrogant little punk!

You just did it for the money.

That's why you defected. Admit it!

Turn around.

What's the matter?

Just do as you're told.

You heard him.

If I were you, I wouldn't

piss Chaiko off anymore.

Look who's buddy-buddy

with Chaiko now.

Raymond, please, leave him alone.

He's scared. A little pressure

and he loses his backbone.

No more Mr. Tough Guy talk, huh?

Just begging to dance here now.

I've listened to enough

of your insults.

Either go in your room

and shut up...

or I'm calling Chaiko now!

Go ahead and call him.

He's right. Let's go to our room.

We're out of here tomorrow.

You're right about that one.

Raymond, come on!

Let's go to the room.

I'll be there in a minute.

I'm sorry for losing my temper.

It's a little late for apologies.

Don't make this any harder

than it already is.

Have you set your mind on staying?

Do I have a choice?

So, what happens to me and Darya?

You've done your job. Stool pigeon.

I don't care about you,

but I feel sorry for her.

You can't stand it, can you?

That she loves me.

It disturbs your racist consciousness.

Bullshit!

Good luck.

The proletariat has nothing to lose

but its spare change.

Hurry up.

Come on.

Come on, little more.

Well, colonel, now what?

I want to go up to

the monitoring room.

Come on. Let's move.

The door's locked.

Get the landlady down, stupid!

Hey!

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

No.

I love you.

Where is he going?

I don't know. Let's go.

Where is he going?

Let's go.

If it weren't for what they'd do to me

and my wife, I'd break your neck.

It took you long enough.

You should have come in the front.

Is everything okay?

Of course.

All decent people are asleep.

I want to hear

what's going on up there.

Damn it!

They're blocking the side entrance.

Through the lobby.

I won't go without Raymond!

We've gone too far.

I don't care.

Raymond's only chance is for us

to make it to the consulate.

Get back!

Let me go.

Chaiko!

What's happening up there?

I've got to talk to you now!

Let him come.

Quickly, the transcripts.

How recent?

Half-hour ago.

Keep inside.

I'm not gonna have my dick cut off

for that little sh*t! I'll kill him!

Calm down or I'll have you subdued!

I'm sorry. I apologize.

Come inside. I want to talk to you.

I'm sorry.

Sorry. I lost my head.

You want to talk?

I'll tell you something too.

He's leaving in a couple of days

anyway, right?

Come and have a drink.

Now, Raymond.

What is it?

Get him out of our lives.

Are you ordering me now?

She's my wife!

You gotta get him away from my wife!

You're a man, you should understand!

I'm sorry for losing my temper.

It's a little late for apologies.

Don't make this any harder

than it already is.

Let me listen.

You can't stand it, can you?

That she loves me.

It disturbs your racist consciousness.

Bullshit!

Is this a recording?

No. It's live.

Don't try to out-drink a Russian.

It's in our blood.

What is it?

You should hear something.

Later.

But, Colonel Chaiko...

Captain Kirigin,

can't you see I'm busy?

As you wish.

Later.

Stop.

Be careful.

Come on.

He should be on the other side.

Who?

I don't know.

Somebody named Scott.

Wynn Scott.

We should leave your friend here.

She's going with us!

I'm going back.

You know what would happen

to you and your baby?

This is meaningless unless

we can get back to the consulate.

Let's go.

You know, Raymond,

your wife is Russian.

She has a mind of her own.

You have to give her

a chance to think.

Another.

It's finished.

Let's open up another bottle.

You've had enough.

You set this all up, didn't you?

Trying to get him to fall for my wife.

Get him in my bed.

Now I can listen. Get up!

I won't listen to anything

you put together.

Come on. Sit down,

have another drink.

Get up!

Wait a minute! Wait a minute!

I don't want to hear it!

Come on back inside.

You black bastard.

Son of a b*tch! You're too late!

Too late, motherf***er!

Everybody downstairs. Now!

I tried to tell you.

Call out the militia.

Cover all western consulates!

Can you drive faster?

We don't want to blow it by speeding.

Take it easy. It's not far.

Just try to relax.

Are you hungry? There's a party

at the consulate tonight.

A lot of Third World diplomats.

Every one of them

a non-aligned, unbiased witness.

Chaiko can't call them

American liars.
