Ali!

Ali.

Nakhararyan has kidnapped Nino.

No, they were just going to the opera.

No. He was trying to kiss her.

Then he drove off with her.

- What do you think you're doing?

- Let me go!

You're gonna stay with me. Do you understand?

- Let me go! You can't do this!

- No! You can't go. You're mine now.

I'm not gonna say it again.

They were heading for the coast road.

Maybe it's for the best.

What are you doing?

No, Ali.

Ali.

What happened?

I thought...

You thought what?

I mean,

did he...

Did he what?

No, he didn't.

He's dead.

I have 40 men guarding the house.

- You have to leave tonight.

- Why?

The Nakhararyans, they have

put a price on your head.

They are going to come looking for you.

I am going to send you

to our people in the mountains.

How long do I have to stay away?

A very long time.

- Good evening.

- Good evening.

Would you like to sit?

In the circumstances, Khan...

I'm convinced...

the only honorable solution

is for them to marry.

- It cannot be done, Prince.

- Yes.

It could be done tonight.

Where is he?

I believe he's gone to his uncle's in Persia.

They have to marry.

I'm sure you'll be able

to find her some suitable husband.

We both know that no one will marry her now.

Thank you for coming.

- What's this?

- Hashish.

It's good for the pain.

And for the conscience.

Ali.

Kasi Mullah?

This is Ali Khan Shirvanshir.

He needs your protection.

Follow me, Your Honor.

Ali Khan. Ali Khan.

I'm afraid he's very ill.

No one is ill for long in Dagestan.

I'm sorry.

Really, I don't understand

what you're saying.

Prince Kipiani,

out of respect for the Nakhararyan family,

our community feels obliged

to ask that your daughter

refrain from attending Mass

for the foreseeable future.

I don't know what else I can do.

Well, you'd better think of something.

Look at her.

Look at you.

We can't go on like this.

I don't want to go to Moscow.

I'm afraid, on this occasion,

we are not asking your opinion.

- I refuse...

- The arrangements have already been made.

- Father, please.

- No!

It's quite obvious

there's no future for you here.

There is no future for me in Moscow.

There is a chance not everyone there

will have heard what happened.

My parents are sending me to Moscow tomorrow.

Then it's your duty to obey them.

Is it not?

If you won't take me, I'll go on my own.

Nino?

Yeah.

Nino.

How did you get here?

Seyid Mustafa brought me.

I've missed you so much.

Seyid.

Go fetch the mullah and tell him

I need to get married immediately.

We don't need a mullah.

I know how to conduct a marriage.

I just need to prepare the papers.

Good. In an hour's time, then.
