00:00
I miss you so much!
00:03
This is mom. This is mom.
00:06
Can you hear me? This is mom.
00:08
Salam Aleykum!
00:10
I'm so happy!
00:12
We're in the Oval Office.
00:16
Yes, Katyusha, is that you?
00:18
Yes, dad. Hi.
00:20
Hi, little one.
00:22
Hi, it's good to hear you.
00:24
Where are you?
00:26
We're in the Oval Office.
00:28
No word is strong enough for this.
00:30
I was sure I'm going to die in prison.
00:32
I don't believe what's happening.
00:34
I still think I'm sleeping
00:36
in my prison cell in Omsk,
00:38
instead of hearing your voice.
00:40
But I just wanted you to know that
00:42
you've done a wonderful thing by saving so many people.
00:44
I think there are 16 of us on the plane.
00:46
Again, I still can't believe it's happening.
00:48
So I just wanted to say that
00:50
I don't think there are many things
00:52
more important than saving human lives.
00:54
We're going to see you at Andrews.
00:56
Don't pretend you don't know us, okay?
