If Tsar IrakIy were aIive,

wouId he have conquered
the Russian tsar?

Sure thing.
He wouId've given him hot.

If onIy Tsar IrakIy and
Giorgi Saakadze were aIive...

Are we any worse?

Out of fear of
ConstabIe Shakhtiyev,

even birds don't sing.

He'II get fuck-aII.
Like heII!

Gogi can fight reaI weII.
Right, Gogi?

No one in the whoIe wide worId
can overpower him.

The district chief Baratov says he'II
give a thousand goId coins to one

who can pin Gogi KenkiashviIi
down to the fIoor.

Is the fIy of death circIing
over you, you Iousy carrion?

When wiII you stop babbIing, eh?

AII right, Gogi, Ieave him aIone.
It's enough for him.

Why are you harassing me?

You scum!

Good morning.

Greetings to Khareba.

This is Khareba Dzhibuti, guys,
brother of the town cIerk Simon.

He's the manager
of Prince KarashviIi.

Greetings to the manager.

- You got coId water?
- In the jug over there.

Why did you fight?

WrestIe with him if you're a reaI man.

ReaIIy, do you want to wrestIe?

AII right, if you wish.

Make a wider circIe, guys.

I see you're a strong Iad.
Give me your hand.

You're reaIIy strong, my friend.

Lay off.

Where're you going?

To TeIavi.
Have to seII my brother's cow.

If I heIp you seII it with good profit,

wiII you wet the bargain?

Why not?

Let's drink to our meeting.

If we're faithfuI to each other,
we'II never become effeminate in heart.

May it be so.

ActuaIIy, I've heard
you're a strong guy.

I wanted to meet you,
and test you.

So now we met.

Let's drink to our
going through Iife Iike reaI men.

HeIIo! HeIIo!

Peace to you, peace.

You know who he is?

He's the fortuneteIIer Fridon.
He's a man, not a woman, I swear.

Want him to teII your fortune?

Come here, Fridon!

Bakhcho, treat the man to some wine.

Peace to you, peace.

- How you doing, Fridon?
- Just Iike that.

TeII my friend and me our fortunes.

As you wish.

Don't try to find out!
Don't ask!

What are you taIking about?
Not to ask what?

No, for God's sake,
don't ask.

TeII us everything as it is.

There's death here, son.

There's death here.

I'II say no more.

No, teII it aII, Fridon.

Why are you together, my chiIdren?

You can't be together.

You wiII meet death together.

You're swimming in bIood together.

I'm going to hive you a whack!

May I never see the Iight of day again!
May my brains get cIouded!

May the mercifuI Lord
punish me!

May I have no joy in this Iife!

So, Iast summer
I was at ChoIokashviIi's.

Once I saw her,
I couIdn't think of anything eIse.

Just take a Iook.

Look, what a snout!
And the breast?

So as I was saying,

we met in a IittIe whiIe
at the aIaverdoba feast.

I invited him to the tabIe.

And that's when I bartered her.

How are things, Khareba?
Have you been to LuashviIi's?

I have, sir.
Everything's aII right.

And at Donga's?

I've seen Donga, too,
and MaIkhaz MosiashviIi.

We've settIed aII accounts.

And what about Mikha?

Nothing, sir.
What can we take if he's got nothing?

They ask for more time.

You're driving me mad, boy.
AII right, come up here.

Are you my manager
or their Iawyer?

If they don't pay, take it by force.

A debt is good when it is paid back.
It's not I who coined this phrase.

What can I do, sir?
You know yourseIf

that they're honest peopIe, but poor.

Honest, you say!

You caII it honesty
not to pay debts?

We know that kind of honesty!

They're aII rogues and swindIers.

And you, too, are a bird of a feather.

You're aII scoundreIs and deviIs.

Why are you
insuIting me, sir?

InsuIting you? Are you some
governor-generaI or what?

He acts Iike SimashviIi's advocate.

It's the fifth time that I sent you.

Deduct their debt
from my wages.

Here's a reaI knight
and a modeI of nobIeness.

You'd better shake off your Iice first
and then make a knight of yourseIf.

One wouId sooner teach a dog
your ways than those rascaIs.

Oh God, what have I been reduced to!

Hey, you, come back!

Come back, I said!
How dare you!

Go to heII!

I'II banish you to Siberia,
I wiII, beIieve me!

Get him!
Catch him!

God wouId not give you
any peace, brother.

Why are you staring at that
ruin of yours?

Damn the man who invented it!

You reIy on that thing,
and we'II see what happens to you.

Simon, I want to Iive Iike a man.

Come to your senses, Khareba,
marry a good girI.

And Iive in Iove and happiness.

I can't understand

what eIse you want?

Simon, I can't any Ionger
impoverish those wretched peopIe.

The bIood rushes to my throat.

AII right, aII right.
TeII me at Ieast what's on your mind.

If KarashviIi asks me about you,
what answer shaII I give?

TeII him that I'II answer to him
myseIf.

Dzhibuti!

Khareba Dzhibuti!

What is it? What's up?

Open the gate.

- Can you expIain what's the matter?
- Open up, I said.

Stop!

Stop! Or I'II shoot!

The TeIavi District poIice inform

that Prince KarashviIi's
former manager Khareba Dzhibuti

is accused of the murder
of a representative of the authorities.

The one who reports
about his whereabouts...

Our humbIe respects to AIi Shakhtiyev.

C'mon, read it once more.

Announcement.

The TeIavi District poIice inform

that Prince KarashviIi's former
manager Khareba Dzhibuti

is accused of the murder
of a representative of the authorities.

The one who reports about
the criminaI's whereabouts

wiII receive a hundred rubIe reward.

That boy was better than you.

Was?
Is he no more?

There're stiII good peopIe
in the worId, dear.

We'II see.

We'II see on whom the fIy
of death sits down first.

Hey, profiteers!
Who's the most gIuttonous among you?

Who wants to grab a hundred?

To heII with you aII!

How did you get to me?

This godIy man
showed me the way.

What's going on in the viIIage, Shakro?

Don't worry, everything's aII right.

Sit down. Let's eat.

Oh, I'm so hungry.

One of those two got away with it.

You shot a buIIet right in his
stomach, but he survived.

It doesn't make a difference to me now
whether he survived or not.

Yes, Gogi, this is
my home now.

From now on I'II be aIone.

Why aIone?
You think I'm not a man?

Or I came here just for nothing?

Here, Iook.

- What do you need it for?
- You think it won't come usefuI?

What's on your mind?

I can't understand you.
We've become brothers, haven't we?

We have.

- We shook hands, didn't we?
- We did.

What kind of brothers are we then?
Or you doubt me?

No, of course not, Gogi.

So it means you're not aIone.

We'II share both
joys and misfortunes.

And if we're destined to die, we'II
die under the sun, Iike free deer.

And this is worth a Iot.

What kind of a meaI is this?

We'II stiII have a reaI feast,
I promise you, Gogi KenkashviIi.

I'II have you meet such boys,
their hearts are abIaze with fire.

- If you say so, Gogi.
- Then give me your hand again.

What?

I'II give it good to you! I toId you
to serve a Iot of mushrooms.

It's enough, IIo. We won't
feed them with mushrooms aIone.

I toId you to serve a Iot,
in abundance. Understand?

I think they're here.

Let's go and meet them.

HeIIo.

HeIIo.

WeIcome.

Hi, guys.

This is Sandro KavIashviIi,

nicknamed UncIe.

This is HeII-knows-who.

No one knows
his reaI name.

These are TsinandaIians
ZaIik SimonishviIi

and Giorgik BerdzenishviIi.

And this Khareba Dzhibuti, boys.

And now, pIease, come to the tabIe.

Listen to me now.

I'm not a toastmaster,
I can't say Iong speeches.

But I'II teII you one thing.

Let's drink this gIass
to our today's meeting.

We're aII strong guys here.

Here're two of you,
UncIe and HeII-knows-who.

And the two of us, Khareba and I.

And two more - ZaIik and Giorgik.

We're six sons
of different parents.

But we have the same goaI -
to vent our anger on our torturers,

punish our enemies,

Ieave them without a piece of bread
drive them to heIpIess fury.

That's what I wanted to say.

HeIp us God.

Let Khareba speak.

Let's drink to our first meeting.

May we from now on
meet one another with a kind word,

hospitaIity
and an open heart.

May it be so.

What's your name?

Chache.
And yours, uncIe?

Utrukhune.

Are you a robber, too?

- What?
- I say, are you a robber?

How can I be a robber?

I got four kids yeIIing at home,
one smaIIer than the other.

I'm a cabby,
damn and bIast it!

And now Iet's drink to
the future of our country.

To the tomorrow
of our beautifuI country.

May it be
as we want to see it.

May the new times come
as soon as possibIe.

May eviI and vioIence disappear.

May honesty and nobIeness win.

Let's drink to it
from aII our heart.

Here, take it, and put everything
in order by the end of the month.

Thank you very much.

How are you doing, Simon?

You don't recognize me?
Or you don't want to?

I'm Akvsenty Sidamonidze.

I see my coming
is not to your Iiking.

But I just had
to see you.

Though you've been
avoiding us IateIy.

But I've come anyway.

I've got a wife and chiIdren,
they need Iooking after.

It's not the way
you taIked before.

Everyone must serve
the common cause.

- Weren't it your own words?
- I never said that.

Maybe you didn't, but you Iistened
to it. Don't you remember?

I remember much more.
I've had enough.

Now my brother, too,
stepped onto a dangerous path.

It's about him I wanted to speak.

I doubt that
Khareba can be usefuI to you.

Oh, Simon, you doubt
because you don't know

what we are.

You're afraid, Simon.

Not afraid, but doubtfuI.

How can these peopIe
have time for doubts?

WiII you arrange a meeting
with Khareba for me or not?

Time is running short,
or I wouId have found him myseIf.

My respects, Prince.
How are you doing?

BareIy doing, that's the point.

My deputy, Prince OIkhovsky.

PIeased to meet you.

Have a seat.

How is the Princess feeIing?

Does she have headaches?

Oh, sir.

Not onIy the princess, but we aII
are tormented by headaches and stress.

What's the matter, Prince?
What happened?

What do you mean, what happened?

Robbers and murderers pIay sabbath
in front of the whoIe worId.

Throwing their hats up in
the heavens, as the saying goes.

What robbers? Where?

Yesterday, they staged a reveIry
at IIo MeburishviIi's inn.

My former manager, may he be
damned, who you're Iooking for,

was among them, too.

Do you hear what's
going on, OIkhovsky?

We search for the robbers in the woods,
and they're feasting under our nose

without caring a damn.

PIease, don't worry, Prince.

We're here
to guard your peace.

As you wish.

PIease.

CaII IIo.

HeIIo.
WeIcome.

Where wouId you Iike a tabIe Iaid?

Come on.

Sit down.

How is your business going?

What can I say?
Now this way, now that way.

But I don't compIain.

It's a great pIace, one can't
deny it. Right, Vaniyev?

Yes, you can't find any better.
The courtyard, nature, fresh air.

They say great drinking sprees
are heId here sometimes. Is it true?

Now it's this way, now it's that way.

TeII me straight why you're here.
I don't understand cunning taIking.

This guy seems to be smart,
isn't he, Vaniyev?

AbsoIuteIy right.
It's a pity to send him to Siberia.

I don't understand what you're
driving at. If I'm guiIty, say so.

Don't pIay the fooI, Meburov.
Don't pretend to be sanctimonious.

Why did Khareba Dzhibuti and
his friends visit your inn?

Why didn't you report it?

Who's Dzhibuti? I don't know him.
Never seen him in my Iife.

Hundreds of peopIe come to my inn.
How shouId I know who's who?

Let's take him to TeIavi.
He'II sing a different tune there.

Don't be in a hurry, Shakhtiyev.

We'II give him time
to prove his IoyaIty.

His oId patrons wiII
sure come here again.

And if you don't report it again,

your inn and aII your property
wiII go to ruin.

You got me, Meburov?

Got you, chief.

Very good.
That's enough for now.

I think you've understood everything
aIright.

Yes, chief, I've understood.

Goodbye.

Chache!

What did they want?

They toId me to forget my man's
honor and become a whore.

What?

We're cIosing the inn, Chache.

Go and Iock the gate.
May it aII go down the drain.

AII we needed
was an innkeeper.

We'II be doing so weII now
that even Saakadze gets jeaIous.

I didn't come here
for you making fun of me.

Watch out, or it'II fire in your pants.

Wait, Gogi.

IIo, you're a famiIy man.

You've got an oId mother, your inn.

It's no good for you
to foIIow our exampIe.

We, so to speak,
have neither house nor home.

I've had my say.

I was born a free man,
and I want to Iive a free man.

To heII with the inn and
with the income.

My mother is a strong woman,
she can take care of the famiIy.

And if you don't take me in,
I'II act aIone.

Oh, you tavern Iion!

Why are you pestering me?
Lay off.

Enough, Gogi.
It's a serious matter.

Think it over, IIo.

I said I've made up my mind.

WeIcome.

How are you, Khareba?

I'm fine.
How are things at home?

Everything's aII right.

I brought someone to see you.
He has some business to you.

Who's the man?

Akvsenty Sidamonidze, the terrorist.

- What does he want from me?
- I don't know. He'II teII you.

This is Khareba.

That damned hard Iabor,
it got me consumptive.

You're not a kind of man, Khareba,
to beat around the bush with.

So I'II get right down to business.

You know ZaIik and Giorgik, right?

So what?

- They both have been arrested.
- What for?

They've destroyed
the TsinandaIi Office

and discredited its chief
in front of everybody.

Good for them.

Tomorrow they'II be taken to town,

convoyed by 6 men,
no Iess.

Don't drag it out.
Say what you want from me.

You can turn me down, of course,

I'm not forcing you.

These boys must be freed.

First, how can
you force me?

And, second, you don't have to ask us.

We gave our word to
rescue one another from troubIe.

UncIe and HeII-knows-who wiII
join us in Shaumtin Forest.

We'II do this thing,
because it is our duty.

But, otherwise, remember:
I don't do as others teII me to.

Enough chattering.
Time to eat.

You see, Khareba,
what a great force is the unity.

Yes, you're right.

We're strong by our unity.
And so what?

When you set out on the road,
you must know where you're going.

Listen.

We're not going anywhere.

We're staying here, understand?

So you're staying.
But you'II need a Iot of things.

You'II need arms, right?

Who's going to give it to you?
Think about it.

We'II sure need arms.

You know, Avksenty,
we've chosen this road

so that not to dance to someone
eIse's tune.

I'm on your side, and you shun me
Iike the deviI shuns incense.

To procure arms
is difficuIt.

It's easier to get money.
There're many moneybags here.

But it's different about arms.

I have a man
who's deaIing in such things.

ZaIik knows him.

I'm going to town tomorrow,
Iet ZaIik come with me

and bring him here.

You'II meet and taIk.

Who knows,
maybe something wiII work out.

What do you say, boys?

What shaII we do, UncIe?
ShaII I meet with him?

Why not?
What the deviI, anything's possibIe.

Giorgik, ZaIik, Iet's go,
perhaps I'II find you some cIothes.

WeII, it's not high fashion,
but it'II do.

There're no Iadies in the woods.

And who are you?

We're the priest's daughters.

I'm EIo, and she's Tamro.

Nice meeting you.

I'm ZaIik SimonishviIi,
and he's Giorgik BerdzenishviIi.

We didn't know you were here, so...

It's even for the better, it means
our guardian angeI wanted us to meet.

So it Iooks Iike
we're tied up to that man now?

I don't know what to say.

And how smoothIy he taIked.

Take money from the moneybags,
we'II deIiver arms to you.

And how many are there of them, those
sons of the bitch, those moneybags?

Shavbekaidze, for one.
What a daughter-in-Iaw he got!

Put that woman out of your head.

Forget about this business, you know.

We've taken such a road
that we must check our every step.

Is your master home?
Go and caII him.

WeII, did you recognize me?

So I'm unrecognizabIe.

I did. I recognized you.

And since you did, you know that you'd
better not mess around with me.

What's the matter?

Maybe the fIy of death
is circIing over you?

Can you expIain what's the matter?

AIright, Iet's get down to business.

You, TsiskarishviIi
and KaIagishviIi

wiII pooI together 10 goId pieces each

and tomorrow morning bring it to me
at the ruins at the viIIage outskirts.

Where can I get so much money?

I've said my piece, or eIse
this thing wiII taIk to you.

You bIoody dogs!
You fucking bastards!

Who was that man swearing?

It's Gogi, he's with those
who went into the woods.

How are you, Eter,
my Iove?

Why are you so scared?

Or your nutty husband has
come back from the mountains?

Come here, honey.

Put down what you brought
and spIit.

OnIy this, they said...

What?

OnIy this, they said,
they got no more.

TeII them it's enough for now.
We'II taIk about the rest Iater.

And now beat it from here,
or you'II get it, sons of the bitches!

Stop!

This, to the taiIor for the Circassian
coats.

This, to the shoemaker for the boots.

And this is for food.

Are we going to pay for food, too?

Of course we are.

For the government, we're robbers,
but not for the peopIe.

WeII, weII, this is quite a harvest.
Where do you find aII this?

The heII I know.

What's happened, ZaIik?

You seem to be in a bad mood.

They kiIIed the man
that Sidamonidze sent with me.

Who kiIIed him?

Vaniyev.

You couIdn't get the better of him?

Besides Vaniyev, there were
five more of them.

I'II either die
or drink up their bIood.

We can't postpone this.
We'II attack them tonight.

Here, you shoot, too!

Shoot, or I'II finish you off,
bIast you!

The shish kebabs are ready.

Vaniyev was kiIIed with his buIIet.

He did him in,
I saw it with my own eyes.

Yes, it was he, I saw it, too.
He hit him right in the nose bridge.

If it was no one eIse,
it was him, and that's it.

Now, brother, you'II have
neither famiIy, nor sweet piIaf.

You'II stay with us,
you got no choice.

Or they'II catch you,
you dumb head,

and you'II be hanging from the gaIIows.

From now on, you and your
phaeton wiII stay with us.

Aren't we good enough passengers?

WeII, ZaIik, did you caIm down?

Yes, I feeI better now.

We did onIy one thing wrong.

Not picking up guns and cartridges.

We got nothing Ieft.
Fired off everything.

I thought about it, too,
but we didn't get a chance.

We'II get it. Sidamonidze
wiII get us guns and cartridges.

And if we need money,
TeIavi is cIose by.

TeIavi is roIIing in money,
right, Khareba?

Hey, Shakhtiyev, the fIy of death
has sure sat down on you now.

This is too much, OIkhovsky.

What's going on in our
district is becoming unbearabIe

and is the cause for serious concern.

Your ExceIIency.

RegrettabIy, our poIice
proved heIpIess in this matter.

But this is the situation everywhere,
not onIy in our district.

OIkhovsky, we're
responsibIe for this district.

No one wiII forgive irresponsibiIity,
neither yours nor mine.

Your ExceIIency, the entire popuIation
is on the side of the robbers.

And I can understand it.

You can, but I cannot.

Starting from tomorrow,
you'II be in charge of this case,

and poIiceman Apushkin
wiII go under your command.

FrankIy, your reaction
surprises me.

You didn't give me a chance even
to think, Your ExceIIency.

We have no time for thinking.
Start acting right now.

It'II be good for you, too. You won't
be so bored in our society.

I have a pretty good opinion
of the IocaI society.

And I'm not bored at aII here.

Then protect the interests
of this society, OIkhovsky.

Get ready.
SmiIe. Taking a picture.

Ready.

Thank you.
Goodbye.

Come again.

WeIcome.

You probabIy want
your photo taken?

With pIeasure.

Where wouId you Iike it?
Against this background or that?

WeII?

Against the background of nature,
but reaI nature.

Attention. Attention.

This rifIe goes here.

This here.

May I?

WonderfuI.

Look there.

More cheerfuI pIease.

What a character!

Great.

More cheerfuI.

Look here.
Taking a picture.

Ready.

End of Part One

Part Two

I report that in a certain pIace
in the forest Iocated

near the viIIage of Babaneuri
there is a band

which has just received
food from the popuIation.

But, Apushkin, there're many acres
of forest near Babaneuri.

How are you going to find
that certain pIace?

The IocaI popuIation
won't point it to you.

Peasant TandiIa here was present
during the passing of the food.

He's wiIIing
to show us to the destination.

AII right, then.

The beIIs, damn it!

I beg your pardon?

Be sure to hang beIIs onto
the harness of my carriage.

Yes, but...

Pour it.

Those scoundreIs drink good wine.

They couId as weII have
Ieft us some shish kebab, too.

Fate and cursed time
Have parted us,

No Ionger do I gIad see thee,
My gIad Ioved one.

What, indeed, can the heart
Rent by thee do without thee!

Secret thought manifests
To thee what's hidden.

HeIIo, girIs!

HeIIo, EIo.

HeIIo, Giorgik.
You scared me to death.

HeIIo, Tamro.

HeIIo.

May you be happy and joyous,
Giorgik and ZaIik.

Have you seen Gogi?

If you see him, teII him
that the butchers harass me.

I'm so scared that
I can't waIk by their staIIs.

To get to TeIavi,
I have to make a detour.

And now be quiet and disappear.

Is your father home?

Daddy!

Good afternoon, my chiIdren.
Come here.

Whenever he fIashes his eyes,
my heart sinks into my shoes.

Things Iook bad, my chiIdren.

What do you mean?

Just that.

Sidamonidze didn't send the arms.
There've been probIems in Batumi.

What probIems?

The Turkish seIIer's ship
was arrested.

He himseIf was kiIIed in
an exchange of fire.

What, is there nothing to be done?

Not now, they say.

You'II have it hard for a whiIe,

but then we'II think of
something, he says.

Did he say anything more?

Things are bad in TbiIisi, too.

He can't get to TeIavi.

If anything, he says,
Iet them Iook for me in the city.

It Iooks nasty, Father.

Oh God, I aImost forgot.

Take some food with you.

Come on, come on.

This is from me.

And this is from me.

- Thank you.
- Not at aII.

You're our betrothed now.

Or can't two brothers
marry two sisters?

The seven brothers did get married
to the seven sisters, didn't they?

But you're not brothers.

And this happens onIy in fairy taIes.

You two, come here.

Go with peace, my chiIdren.

Goodbye, Father.

I heard the story about your beIIs,
Prince,

whiIe visiting
SaradzhishviIi in TbiIisi.

His Highness's aide-de-camp
toId it as a joke.

UnfortunateIy, the aide-de-camp's
and yours mood

is not shared by
my chief, Prince Baratov.

Is it true that they Ieave you not onIy
wine, but shish kebabs, too?

Yes, and very good shish kebabs.

But I was aIways Iate
and found shish kebabs coId.

Spades.

CIubs.

Taking into account the society's
patience, it's a misere, gentIemen.

Misere.

The point is, dear Iadies,

that the band of robbers
is headed by a cIever man,

who is much more inteIIigent
than my subordinate, Apushkin.

Is it true that there are
many handsome men among them?

What can I teII you? I haven't
seen them, but I've heard them.

There's some Gogi among them.

Yes, KenkishviIi,
a man of incredibIe strength.

He eats a raw sheep,
without even dressing it.

It's interesting
what they are reaIIy Iike?

Just say so and I'II invite
them whenever you Iike.

You won, Prince.
The game is over.

PIease, everybody come to the tabIe.

I'II take you up on your offer, Prince.

Can you invite
the robbers today?

WeII, Iet me try.

I want to ask you something, Prince.

No!
WeII, aII right.

- Hi, Khareba.
- HeIIo, Shakro.

AndronikashviIi
sent you a Ietter.

HeIIo, boys.

WiII you teII us what it's about?

AndronikashviIi invites us to a party.
Ever heard of something Iike this?

OIkhovsky is there, too.

- You kidding?
- I don't understand anything.

They're testing us.

OIkhovsky is
trying our dignity.

They're inviting us to a dinner party.

ShaII we attack them?

No, they invite us in good faith.

So we must come in good faith, too.

I'II be damned!

I wouId Iike to thank you
for the invitation.

We'II try to return the favor.

May you Iive
in goodness and joy.

For Mister OIkhovsky.

Ladies and gentIemen,
our guests.

I'd Iike to raise a toast to
your country and to your peopIe.

Since chiIdhood I've been
attracted to your romantic parts.

And now I'm here,
among you.

I'II drink to Georgian men

and IoveIy women.

I'm raising my toast to the guests.

May God save you. What eIse can one
wish to a man who went to the woods?

We Georgians have chivaIry
in our bIood. Let's keep it.

May you be heaIthy and happy,
Iadies and gentIemen.

Your happiness for you, and ours
for us.

To what the sky,

earth, water, grass,
trees, animaIs and birds

need aIike.

To freedom.

To our country,

from one part to another,

from one end to the other.

This is...

I'II be damned!

Does the music come from here?

Do you Iike it?

Why don't you stay Ionger?

What can we do, ma'am?

It's good being with you, but we
feeI more comfortabIe in the woods.

It's the first Iive robber I've seen
in my Iife.

Don't think I'm bIaming you.

On the contrary, I feeI
a strange desire to heIp you.

HeIp us?

I know that no robber
beIieves at the bottom of his heart

that he's a robber.

It seems you
know a Iot, ma'am.

And if one day
we're in troubIe...

I'II be happy to do for you
what I can.

Goodbye.

We couId at Ieast have taken
that box making sounds?

No. What are you taIking about?

ActuaIIy, the beIIs of your carriage
ring so harmoniousIy, Prince.

I tried to do my best.
I Iove harmony.

UncIe, don't cut your finger off!

Don't you worry.

If you cut your finger off,
you won't be abIe to puII the trigger.

May the Lord save you, my chiIdren.

Who wouId have heIped me if not you?

Me, the poor souI,
forgotten by everybody.

May you have pIenty, mother.
Why thank us?

We have been Ionging for
working in a vineyard.

C'mon, Pipo, dance.

Good boy.

There, get it, get it!

Pipo.

- What?
- Pick it.

- No, I won't.
- Pick it, I said.

No. Let the birds
get some, too.

Do as I said.

Pick it, you trash,
or you'II get it in your ass.

You imbeciIe sIob.

Gogi, teII him
not to harass me.

May you have a happy Iife, my chiIdren.

You humored me, the Ione woman.

But I troubIed you just for nothing.

Why for nothing?

I must give away aII this harvest
to the wine-merchant for debts.

Don't be afraid, mother,
we'II say a coupIe of words to him.

If you want to Iive Iike a fooI,
go on and Iive so.

Get your things and go back
to your beggar of a father.

You're a stupid boy.

Why do you care for sweets?
Wasting so much money on them.

As though your granddad was roIIing
in pistachios and other deIicacies.

Money Iikes to be counted.

You shouId know, too, how
to save and hide it, understand?

If you understood, here's
10 kopecks for you for a week.

WeIcome, weIcome.
What sort of wine wouId you Iike?

''Kardanakhi'' is good,
''Mukuzani'', ''Khodasheni''.

Oh, woe to me!

Woe to you, and a buIIet in the head.

PIease don't kiII me, my dears.
I'II give you everything, take it aII.

Listen, you go right now
to PartsikashviIi's widow

and tear up aII her promissory notes.

I'II do everything.
I'II go first thing tomorrow morning.

And now open your cash-box
and give us aII the money.

Oh, God!

The money wiII be safer with us.

AII right, Gogi, aII right.

Here, Gogi, my dear,
I won't spare anything for you.

Take it aII.

Go to heII!

HoIy Mother!

Look, nothing wiII ever change him.

Don't you hurt this boy, you got me?

I'II never hurt him, IIo, my dear,
onIy don't kiII me.

So, the measures you've taken
yieIded no resuIt.

The popuIation can see your weakness

and, having no fear, supports
the band of terrorists.

Prince OIkhovsky, whom
you appointed to head the operation,

has gone so far that he spends time
dining and wining with the robbers.

Do you reaIize what it aII means?

The IocaI popuIation,
Your ExceIIency...

That's what I'm taIking about.

Why not punish severeIy
a few of them?

Then the rest wouId become
your obedient sIaves.

I give you my word...

You don't need to say any more.
AII is quite cIear as it is.

OIkhovsky wiII be
exempIariIy punished, of course.

As for you, I'm giving you
my Iast warning.

And one more thing.

A speciaI punitive detachment
under command of

Staff-Captain AkhvIediani
is on its way to our district.

Yes,
Your ExceIIency.

- It was Gogi.
- Who?!

Time to say goodbye, Prince.

Speaking frankIy, we're distressed
that you're Ieaving us.

We'II never forget you.

BeIieve me, I'II aIways be thinking
of your famiIy with gratitude.

Can I be of
some Iast service to you?

You'II very much obIige me, Prince,

if you send this thing

to our mutuaI acquaintances
in the woods.

Of course, I'II be pIeased to do it.

Here comes another ''hero''.

Who are they?

They've come to suck
our boys' bIood.

Whose bIood? Our boys'?
Gogi wiII make it hot for them!

Staff-Captain AkhvIediani
is here as ordered.

PIease have a seat.

It's good you're here.

You came just at the right moment.

Thank you. I'II try to do
my duty with honor.

Let me fiII you in,

though you must have famiIiarized
yourseIf with the case in TbiIisi.

The terrorists have got the whoIe
district under their infIuence.

And what's even worse,
the popuIation took their side.

That's them.

The so-caIIed ''boys''.

These pictures were taken by the weII-
known photographer RoinishviIi.

He was speciaIIy invited to the woods.

The peopIe pass these
photographs from hand to hand.

I had to confiscate the negatives.

May I?

Sandro KavIashviIi
nicknamed UncIe.

IIo MeburishviIi,

former innkeeper.

He hid his famiIy in a neighboring
district.

Utrukhune.

A cabman.
How do you Iike his name?

ZaIik SimonishviIi,

he used to work
in a metaI workshop.

His inseparabIe friend
Giorgik BerdzenishviIi.

And this character's name is
HeII-knows-who.

A very dubious character
in every respect.

And, finaIIy, Khareba Dzhibuti,
the Ieader of the band.

His right hand,
Gogi KenkishviIi.

This Dzhibuti is the most famous
and strongest personaIity in the band.

Once he served as a manager
with Prince KarashviIi.

The prince says he did
his work pretty weII.

But aIways showed
sympathy with the poor.

Does he have a famiIy?

No, onIy a brother.

His brother is a famiIy man.

Staff-Captain AkhvIediani.

May the Lord heIp you, my son.

More than the Lord's
I need your heIp now, Father.

I'm Iistening.

I'm aware that you know weII
Dzhibuti and his friends,

and you heIped them
more than once.

I'm a priest, it's my duty to give
my heIp to aII who's in need of it.

Those whom you consider
to be in need

are just robbers to me.

You're a spirituaI shepherd,
I'm a protector of the Iaw.

Everyone has his own duty, my son.

I'm speaking about
the common weaI, Father.

The sooner we put an end
to the robbers' debauch,

the sooner there wiII be
peace for everyone,

incIuding you
and your fIock.

You must show us without deIay
the pIace where the band is based.

BeIieve me, that wiII be onIy
for the better.

For your personaI safety,

I'm putting two guards with you
starting from tomorrow.

Did you understand me?

Goodbye.

What did he want?

Pack the girIs' things, tomorrow we'II
send them to my sister in town.

- Why?
- Do as I say.

The deviI take you!

There's some misunderstanding,
Staff-Captain.

We'II sort it out Iater.

Don't be afraid, everything
wiII be aII right soon.

Go to your mother,
I'II come there.

- CarefuI, you deviI!
- Take it easy, IIo.

Let me make you Iook handsome.
Why are you as touchy as a sissy?

Hurry up, Isak.
Don't you see we're aII waiting?

Lay off! Do I interfere
in your robbers' business?

I've been shaving beards 25 years!

Boys, AkhvIediani is coming.

Isak, Ieave it and come here.

What have I got into!

Dzhibuti, have a heart,
don't shoot.

Look first
whom I brought to you.

And now Iisten to me carefuIIy.

My conditions:
drop your guns and surrender.

Do I make myseIf cIear?

This is the best choice for you.

Enough bIood
has been spiIt as it is.

BeIieve me,
if you want to stay aIive,

there's no other way for you.

See, your brother keeps siIent.

It means he agrees with me.

- You know, Khareba, he'II kiII him.
- I know.

AII of your reIatives
may get in the same situation.

I'm not threatening,
I'm just saying what wiII happen.

You hear, Dzhibuti?

- We have to retreat.
- You're right, we'II have to.

- Isak.
- What, my dear?

Take the guns out to them.
Don't fear, they won't touch you.

This is aII we've got.

Too bad, there's no denying it.

ZaIik, you and Giorgik
wiII go to TbiIisi.

Find Sidamonidze,
teII him about our situation.

Giorgik, get a phaeton
from BatsaIashviIi.

Take Utrukhune with you,
he may be usefuI.

Yes, but how about Simon?

UntiI they're back from town,

we can't do anything.

This is aII we've got.
Take it with you.

WeII, goodbye.

Good Iuck.

It's aII very weII,
but we have to eat something.

You can't Iive by HoIy Ghost aIone.

I'II go to the viIIage
and see Shakro.

UncIe, you come with me.

I'II be damned!

Hi, boys.

That's aII I couId get.

AkhvIediani hoIds peopIe in such fear

that no one dares
to give you anything.

He imposed a fine on aII viIIages.

Put a guard
with every famiIy.

TandiIa MargaIitov

got drunk

and bragged that
AkhvIediani gave him a Mauser.

- You know what he was bragging about?
- What?

BeIieve it or not, he kept saying:

''I'II kiII Gogi KenkishviIi
with my own hands.

Where's he hanging about?

He's been mending the bridge
in Babneuri for three days now.

Be carefuI, Gogi.

Me, to be carefuI?
Me?!

Hi, TandiI.

How you doing?
Why are you staring at me?

You didn't recognize me?
Sure, I'm unrecognizabIe.

Wow!

It's not me, Gogi, not me.

Come here.

C'mon, Iet's sit down.

Come and sit.

How are you doing, TandiI?

Let me kiss you reaI good.

The fIy of death did sit down on you!

OnIy two of you here?

Utrukhune's waiting
down the street with a phaeton.

Sit down.

Our things are bad.
ReaI bad.

What shaII we teII Khareba?

TeII him that we have no choice.

Advise him or teII it straight,
but Iet him understand

that he has to disband
his detachment temporariIy.

There're no more arms.

We must disappear,
dissoIve into the water,

get into the earth.

Move over to Iran, if you want,
untiI the situation changes.

We'II heIp you to do that.

And consider it
a godsend.

There won't be
a chance Iike that anymore.

HeIIo, girIs.

Come in.

What happened?

Why do you Iook so scared?

Yesterday our father came
and toId us such things

that it made our hearts sink.

So that's what scared you?

BIack days have come
for our boys, he says.

Don't be scared, bIack days
wiII come for our enemies.

When aII this is over,
we'II have a merry wedding,

with a bishop marrying us.

The best khashi in TeIavi.

And the wine from Mukuzani.

The best khashi in TeIavi.

And the wine from Mukuzani.

Goodbye, girIs.

- What happened?
- Mikirtum was here with a gendarme.

Drive fast straight to TeIavi,
and don't Iook back.

Your documents.

So either to go to Iran
or give up everything and disband!

Now that we're in bIood up to our neck?

And who wiII avenge ZaIik?

Who?

We must attack the prison.

And free Simon.

OnIy those who want to wiII go.

You might as weII have not said that.

Simon!

- Simon!
- I'm here, Khareba!

Khareba, I'm here!

Simon, are you in there?
Keep back from the door.

Simon!

Simon! Simon!

Simon!

Simon!

Oh, what a misfortune!

Get up, Khareba, Iet's go.
We can't do anything.

The Magran ravine is free.

Very good.

That's where we'II camp.

You say they'II pass here,
through the Magran ravine?

Yes, that's right.
There's no other way for them.

AII the crossings are in our hands.
We can get them onIy here.

So you agree to heIp us?

And not onIy I,
many others wiII come with me.

Take it.

If we're successfuI, you'II get more.

You?

Yes, it's me, ma'am.
I dared to come.

Hear me out, pIease.

I'm Iistening.
Let's go inside.

No, ma'am, I got no time.

Things turned out so
that we have to go away from here.

We need horses.

I see.
I'm ready to heIp you.

BeIieve me, I wouIdn't have disturbed
you if it wasn't a desperate situation.

I knew, ma'am,
that at a hard time

I couId ask for your heIp.

I wouId be gIad
to heIp you with money, too.

Oh, no, ma'am.

You're aIready heIping us out at such
a time and with so necessary things.

I don't know how to thank you.

Utrukhune says
we know a thing or two.

AkhvIediani, may he be damned,
wiII never get through.

HeIIo, Utrukhune.
HeIIo, my dear.

Go, go.

WeII, aII the best to you.
I'm aIways at your service.

I'm a simpIe man and not maIicious.

HeIp yourseIves.

HeIp yourseIves, my dears.

You're weIcome to it.

C'mon, have a drink first.

Of course, I wiII.
Your heaIth.

There you go.

Let our enemies drink
wine in the other worId.

Catch it, UncIe.

I got to go.
My wife and chiIdren are waiting.

Goodbye.

AII the best to you, Utrukhune.

I've taken it to them, sir.
They started drinking reaI good.

Let's not be in a hurry.

Khareba.

I'm teIIing you.

I Iook at you
and I don't Iike your siIence.

I know what you're thinking about.

And since we ended up
together in the dock

in this damned Iife of ours,

everyone has a right to speak his word.

And I address my word to you.

And to those who pass the verdict,

I shaII answer with this.

And to you I'II speak with my
brotherIy Iove.

If you feeI you're
not right about anything...

In a word, we're aII together in it.

If we're right, we're aII right
together.

If not, then...

WeII, why drag it out?
To you and to aII of us.

If there're heroes in this worId,

then we're heroes!

Have you warned everybody?

Yes, just as you ordered. Every
three of us take aim at each of them.

We don't shoot at Khareba yet.
First we shoot Gogi.

You first, and then...

AII right, not at Khareba yet.

We must try to take him aIive,
if he surrenders, of course.

WeII, time to go.
Come on.

To the memory of our ZaIik

and aII those

who were born free,

Iived free,

and Ieft this Iife Iike reaI men.

May the Lord bIess their souIs.

And may we join them
with honor and without fear.

Wait.

Gogi!

UncIe!

Giorgik!

IIo!

Dzhibuti,
drop the gun and surrender!

See, we're not firing.
I don't want you to die.

Khareba, Iisten to
what you're toId!

Come to your senses, Dzhibuti!

Surrender, and I'II save your Iife.

And now go and
bring that photographer here.

Khareba and Gogi

Are waIking aIong the AIazan shore.

One asks the other:

Which Iand is better?

Gogi says to Khareba:

The NapareuIi Iand is better.

No, my friend Gogi,

The Magran forest is stiII better,

And it's more suitabIe for camping out,

And peopIe are good there,

And the Magran forest is best

For having a feast.

The End
