You too heard it?

Yes. Its grandfather is killed,
Tomorrow funeral.

And I have understood differently. Here this grandfather.
And it tomorrow will kill.

It badly speaks in French.
Confuses times.

Hardly.

- I think, it does not confuse.

That did it want?

To say a toast for democracy.

- Can, talk to it?
- And it is convenient?

Do not forget a towel.

- Cold?
- Not so.

- Far go?
- Up to village of our enemies.

And what for to go to enemies?

They wait for us,
To kill the grandfather.

What for?

To kill the grandfather.

Who so has solved it?

Our family and family of our enemies.
And the grandfather himself so has wanted.

For what wish to kill it?

We at them have killed a four.
And they at us only a three.

When will kill the grandfather,
We shall be in calculation.

And differently in any way it is impossible?

No.

Your grandfather has killed someone from them?

No, but it is afraid for family.
For my brothers... It is a lot of Us.

And why you see off one?

Can see off only one.

We have cast lots - has dropped out to me.

Nonsense any.
Its truth tomorrow will kill.

I can not believe,
That it is the truth.

It is trusted hardly,
But it so has told.

And the law cannot interfere?

Here everyone to itself the law.

These have killed 4, and those 3.
It is necessary, that was on 4.

- Interestingly to look.
- To me too.

Certainly, interestingly,
But you that - will go there?

Well. And all we shall remove.

And you as think?

I think, it will be uneasy.

The owner will hand over a room for $50.
At you is?

Under the truth, there only a bedroom.

Go bake potatoes.

- And where Jean and Nikolay?
- Drink wine at the owner.

Here there is nothing to eat.
Only cigarettes and vodka.

- And at mute there is something?
- I have not thought. You wish to eat?

Want a potato?
I now shall bake.

Thanks, with pleasure.

I have been shaken, when have learned,

That there are such Frenchmen,
Which do not love Napoleon.

Who from you two Frenchman?

Both of them the Frenchmen.

Than to you so
Napoleon is not pleasant?

- What does it speak?
Is an admirer of Napoleon.

It, probably, therefore,
That there were many victims.

All equally these peoples would die.
Now nobody would remain.

But they have lived
Heroic life...

Here so.

- Well, let's open still?
- No, thanks.

- I have already drunk too much.
- And you?

Well where you climb? And?

Then.

Did not drink some vodka ???? this.

What it there does one?

I cannot believe in it.
Than it will end?

Us it does not concern.

. I advise you
To not climb in this business.

Yes nobody climbs.
Let's simply remove, and all.

In my opinion, it is better to us to leave.

Think, it is dangerous to go there?

In such situation
There can be all.

We have arrived not behind it.
It is better to obey Nikolay.

But our certificate
To all can be useful.

Certainly. But me it is terrible.
I do not wish to see all it.

And maybe, we can
Something to help the guy?

But it is immoral-
To remove murder.

It is immoral to kill,
Instead of to remove.

There will be we there or not,
Anything in fact will not change?

Enter.

Thanks.

Eat potatoes.

At us too so prepare.

To you tomorrow it will be hard.

To one it is difficult...

At us making related in adjacent village.
They will help me.

You will be together?

It is impossible for them. But they will come,
When all will terminate.

And who negotiated between you?

Intermediaries.

First our enemies
Disagreed on the grandfather.

- Why?
- Their 4-th killed was much younger.

In such situations
It is very important.

We can go with you.

To help you.

You are very kind, but it is not necessary
To worry because of us.

Eat, yet has not cooled down.

Good-bye.

Where foreigners go?

I do not know.

- Wish to go with us.
- What for it?

- They wish to help us.
- Than it?

Thirty?

Yes this extortion!

Even for fine ladies
The price below will not be.

It pretends mute,
Because it not local.

Otherwise in mountains to it
It was necessary difficultly.

And it knows,
Where the grandfather and the grandson go?

It goes to the same village.
There at it ??????????.

In my nest the Frenchmen have got.

Have drunk only on ??????????.

And still speak-
The Frenchmen to drink are able.

- You sing, ??????.
- I do not want.

Then undress and sleep.

Well, I lay down.

You go, means?

Meal.

- Well to you to tell.
- And what here to speak?

There is nothing to speak. Farewell.

And you who?

We have met the old man and the grandson
Also have gone with them.

And what it is a videocamera?

- You that, will remove?
- And in what a problem?

If they will notice the chamber,
That to you it about a head will break.

So it that, in a rate?

Certainly,
It the chief of police.

They already cost and wait for the grandfather.

They finally have agreed,
To not upset all.

And what then?

The world. Can, will arrest someone.
But all over again will conclude the world.

This madness - here so to shoot.
In fact there is a law.

It can nothing.
At mountaineers unwritten laws.

I have warned. Will remove-
Expostulate on itself.

With the chamber it is finished.

Where it only takes
Such smelly cigarettes!

It is possible to ask?

When this all has begun?

- Forty years ago.
- And because of what?

Because of the woman.
Two have grown fond of one.

Possibly, any
Unusual?

Certainly. But it did not see it.

And whom it has married?
For their person or not?

For anybody. Both of them were lost.

And what became with it?

It does not know.
Probably, has married.

Ask it,
It is possible to remove?

From a window of its shop
The bridge is visible.

They will shoot, when
The old man will pass the bridge.

It wants $100.
Money forward.

I thought, we friends.

These $100 only will strengthen
Your friendship.

It is its shop?

Yes, it it.

Thanks.

I cannot remove, the hand hurts.

You will manage?

We did not agree,
But... All right.

I shall begin to cry.

It wants the $100.

You do not think,
What will they be against shooting?

It to spit.

Hide the chamber.

From here all is visible.

Fields.

- Perfectly. Give the chamber.
- Now.

Everything, will suffice.

Right after the bridge
They will shoot.

Give-?? a mirror.

I am looked in it
Last time.

Store it as memory.

Goes!

Hey, you where?

In my opinion, it has died.

But it is not wounded.

They did not shoot.

All is terminated.

- And it who such?
- Foreigners.

What feature here is necessary to them?

It has died.

The guy!

- What "guy"?
- They will kill it!

How it?

The old man has died,
It is not considered!

Run! Escape!

No! It is not necessary!

Do not shoot!

Shoot, features tear up!

Well here.

Has got.

It is ready.

Generally, it is a pity it.

Here they.

I cannot write it,
It is impossible.

I understand, but there is a law,
And we witnesses.

I hope, the chamber will return?

The chamber - maybe,
And cartridges - hardly.

- Have finished?
- Here.

Let's go with me.

- Me will detain.
- What for?

It is necessary to translate your readings.
Here nobody knows French.

- And the chamber?
- Too remains at them.

I shall bring to you in Tbilisi.

- Well, we shall go to hotel.
- As I shall arrive, at once I shall call.

Close a door!

I listen to you.

I shall tell all.
You to me will believe?

Looking that you to me will tell.

I to you shall tell the truth.
All as was.

Begin.

I wished to shoot at the old man,
But was late.

We have already understood all,
That it has died.

Not fools.

In dead to shoot
I could not any more, have missed an instant.

And the grandson stood beside,
Did not know, that to it threatens.

At all the youth, understands nothing.

When mute has cried "run",
I have as mountain from shoulders.

That? What do you bear?
Mute has cried?

Not ???? bosh if you want,
That I to you have believed.

Hello.

If you do not trust me,
Ask my family.

I have somehow forgotten, that it mute.

Give, continue!

If the guy at once has run,
It would be alive.

But it for fear has slipped,
When I shot.

The bullet would fly by past,
If it has not slipped.

I at once in it would get,
If has wanted.

But I did not want, I shot past.

I knew, than it will terminate.

You trust, you do not trust,
And so all also was.

Anything would not be,
Shoot you at once at the old man.

I should shoot,
When it will pass the bridge.

It still had pair steps.

Well also would shoot, while yours
Have not seen, that it is dead!

I saw, that it has fallen off,
Wished to shoot already...

Has aimed, but foreigners
Have blocked it.

If the guy was one,
I would get in the old man, and all.

Anybody would not learn,
That I shoot in dead.

But nasty foreigners
All have spoiled.

Well it is possible to reconcile you somehow?
Now at you on 4 killed.

Reconcile already once and for all!

You know: they will not forgive.

If it would not be so is young,
Then an another matter...

It never will terminate...

So it will be better.

Somebody in city,
