Gamble.

Like a card game.

You play the hand you're dealt.

I was certain she

was going to get rid of it.

And she's smiling.

Can you picture that?

Mark, what should I do?

You have the right to do

whatever you want to do.

Kill if you want to kill.

The gun is in the upper drawer.

And that's it.

Forgive if you want to forgive.

And that's it.

You should make a decision.

What should I decide, Mark?

I don't want to lose my

children the way you did.

I can't believe this is happening to me.

I haven't lost my children.

I've just got used to the idea

that they don't exist.

But they do exist and they are alive.

So what?

You don't want to know

anything about them?

No.

- And that is fair?

- That's fair.

This was my card.

I don't understand.

Then... Be good...

It's easy. Heads or tails.

We gambled until morning.

But we were waiting for you.

- Take it.

- No, no...

Come on, come on,

it'll do you good.

Are you going to your son?

He's waiting for you.

He's melting from heat.

Are you sure...

Yes. What?

Could you be fooling yourself?

And that's fair?

That is fair.

Kir, let's go.

Are you sure that this

is where you lost it?

Well... yes.

Or maybe I left it inside.

Look. I found it.

Mark smells the same way

it smells inside the house.

And come back whenever

you please... anytime.

I would be happy if

you wouldn't leave.

Where else can you find

a sky like this?

- Alexander, come and move here.

- I don't think so.

Have a good evening.

Bye-bye.

I have forgotten something.

- Kir, aren't you tired?

- Yes, I am tired.

Go to sleep.

I would like to talk

to you after you finish.

I can't hear you.

The water is running.

I would like to talk

to you after you finish.

I am afraid to talk to you.

I am afraid too, but think

about it... we need to talk.

As you wish.

I know how you

and your brother are.

And what Kir is going to turn into.

If you in your heart feel

sorry for me just a little bit...

You know... You should be submissive

without any doubts.

Understand.

And help me to help my son

and my daughter.

I need you to help me.

This baby...

I don't care about your child.

I want to know what you are

going to do about this child.

We have become estranged.

You are a stranger and

you always have been.

And you always will be.

What are you talking about?

Were we always estranged?

- Will we always be two strangers?

- Vera, I don't want to yell at you.

I don't want to harm you.

I don't want to hurt you.

I just want to know

what you are going to do.

Vera, you're in trouble,

do you get that?

You've become tired.

Are you really so tired?

And you...

What are you going to do?
