[last lines]
Ivan: [voiceover] You know the rest. John made a film and became famous. I'm being prosecuted under Article 105 for killing civilians of the Russian Federation because I was already a civilian at that time. John told everything in the film - about the woman in the jeep, about the kid and the old man there, at Aslan's base. When did he have time to shoot it? He wrote a book as well - "My Life in Russia". He didn't come to the court case, of course. Gave evidence about me over there. But the brave Chechen shepherd Ruslan Shamayev came and told in detail how I tortured him, how I cynically slaughtered Chechen women and children. He lives in Moscow now. His son is studying at the Moscow University. Margaret never married John. It was back then that I gave the Captain all the money. He didn't want to take it but I knew what was going on in civilian life, so I gave him the money. His wife thanked me later, writing that they'd done several expensive operations. He's the only one who goes to bat for me. He's a good man. I don't think they'll put me away but who knows. Our Tobolsk dorks keep looking to Moscow. Now they listen to Putin speaking on the telly, then they are told about new legal reforms and this crap goes on. I still haven't seen that film. It'd be fun to watch it now. See more » |
