Downloaded from
YTS.MX

3
00:00:03,917 --> 00:00:07,876
from 1928, survived in extracts
amounting to a total of 1220 m.

4
00:00:07,876 --> 00:00:11,459
The preserved materials were
restored within the project:

at the National Film Archive in Warsaw".

8
00:00:17,667 --> 00:00:22,042
This copy was made of two preserved
coloured copies and dupe negative.

9
00:00:22,042 --> 00:00:26,334
Fragments of the copy on nitrate
film found in 2006 were also used.

10
00:00:26,334 --> 00:00:28,542
They include scenes so far unknown.

11
00:00:29,542 --> 00:00:32,334
Due to much damage to all
preserved materials

12
00:00:32,334 --> 00:00:35,751
the output storage was set
individually to each scene.

13
00:00:35,751 --> 00:00:38,417
The opening intertitles
were reconstructed

14
00:00:38,417 --> 00:00:41,001
based on the original
cinema's programme.

15
00:00:41,001 --> 00:00:44,959
The film went through digital
restoration: image stabilization,

16
00:00:44,959 --> 00:00:48,376
colour grading and management,
removal of distortions.

17
00:00:48,376 --> 00:00:50,501
Some damage could not be removed.

18
00:00:50,501 --> 00:00:54,501
It was also impossible to recreate
the original division into acts.

19
00:00:54,501 --> 00:00:57,251
The film was adapted to
the current standards:

20
00:00:57,251 --> 00:00:59,417
eight frames per second
were doubled

21
00:00:59,417 --> 00:01:02,834
to create the effect of the original
16 frames per second.

22
00:01:02,834 --> 00:01:05,876
The length of the film is 2236 m.
It is incomplete.

23
00:01:05,876 --> 00:01:10,626
The works were carried out in accordance
with the principles of conservation.

24
00:01:32,126 --> 00:01:37,042
The works were implemented within the
project:"Conservation and Digitalisation

25

PROLOGUE BY:

55
00:05:53,292 --> 00:05:56,084
PARIS, 1832.

56
00:06:13,292 --> 00:06:18,084
What does one contemplate
on the French soil?

57
00:06:34,834 --> 00:06:39,417
Oh, Mother of Poland,
so soon did lay to rest,

58
00:06:39,417 --> 00:06:44,209
one cannot speak,
't pains the chest!

59
00:07:19,334 --> 00:07:22,501
Holy Virgin, who...
shinest o'er the Ostra Gate!

60
00:08:09,292 --> 00:08:12,167
Lithuania! My country!

61
00:08:20,459 --> 00:08:23,959
The poet's house in Nowogrodek.

62
00:08:38,126 --> 00:08:41,501
The cemetery "is to my own liking".

63
00:09:58,751 --> 00:10:02,917
Meanwhile, return
my yearning soul,

64
00:10:02,917 --> 00:10:08,417
to those sylvan hills,
those verdant meadows...

65
00:11:02,792 --> 00:11:07,792
...Oft a pauper begging for bread...

66
00:11:44,459 --> 00:11:48,501
When the man yonder,
the god of war!

67
00:12:05,292 --> 00:12:09,126
For general Dabrowski
strives to march to Poland

68
00:12:09,126 --> 00:12:12,626
from the Italian land.

69
00:13:09,876 --> 00:13:15,042
Among these fields by the brook,
long time ago.

70
00:13:38,876 --> 00:13:45,542
A young master rode in
a horse-drawn carriage.

71
00:15:54,417 --> 00:16:00,584
The servants were waiting for
the Seneschal to attire himself.

72
00:16:04,876 --> 00:16:15,001
A girl dressed in whites went along,
around her hams long grass hast swung.

73
00:16:33,876 --> 00:16:36,459
Who lived hither?

74
00:16:36,459 --> 00:16:44,001
His uncle hath not yet found a wife,
aunt in St. Petersburg led her life.

75
00:18:44,792 --> 00:18:57,292
It is good, Thaddeus, that you returned,
so many fair ladies are here.

76
00:19:11,667 --> 00:19:17,376
Your uncle is thinking to
celebrate your marriage soon...

77
00:20:05,042 --> 00:20:08,792
Lord knows for how long we shall work,

78
00:20:08,792 --> 00:20:13,376
when the sun descends
from the celestial shield,

79
00:20:13,376 --> 00:20:18,751
it is time to withdraw from the field.

80
00:20:35,667 --> 00:20:41,542
All the company was returning
from the grove.

81
00:21:24,542 --> 00:21:30,167
The greetings the Judge bestowed
upon his nephew were short.

82
00:21:37,626 --> 00:21:43,042
...The Chamberlain,
surrounded by his family.

83
00:22:11,459 --> 00:22:16,042
In the Seneschal's absence,
bade the Apparitor secretly

84
00:22:16,042 --> 00:22:23,001
to bring tables and supper
to the old castle hastily.

85
00:22:27,542 --> 00:22:31,334
What harm did I make by
bringing them here?

86
00:22:31,334 --> 00:22:35,209
Nothing is lost and
thou might still earn,

87
00:22:35,209 --> 00:22:39,542
for the castle is the matter
of our concern.

88
00:23:19,376 --> 00:23:24,334
...The monk,
seemed not used to his habit,

89
00:23:24,334 --> 00:23:30,084
for he must have grown
old outside of it.

90
00:23:44,709 --> 00:23:51,792
Why art thou here inside these walls?
I despise the castle.

91
00:24:32,251 --> 00:24:36,501
The Chamberlain sat at
the head of the table,

92
00:24:36,501 --> 00:24:41,959
this honour befitted him
from his age and his office.

93
00:25:14,251 --> 00:25:21,751
That empty chair seemed very odd,
soon he filled it with his thought.

94
00:26:18,126 --> 00:26:23,001
A young and beautiful lady appeared.

95
00:26:45,459 --> 00:26:49,917
She hath the same eyes, lips and face.

96
00:26:49,917 --> 00:26:55,834
The only difference was her age.

97
00:27:48,792 --> 00:27:55,126
The Notary was the most rabid...
He was a counsel once,

98
00:27:55,126 --> 00:28:02,084
they called him the preacher,
for he had a zest for gests.

99
00:28:09,751 --> 00:28:13,917
...Tally-ho! shouted
the Assessor and I...

100
00:28:19,292 --> 00:28:25,001
...A hare, a tough mark,
rabbited straight to the field...

101
00:28:37,792 --> 00:28:40,334
The hounds chased the hare,

102
00:28:40,334 --> 00:28:43,667
it charged into the
woods and then my Kusy.

103
00:28:57,209 --> 00:29:00,042
A catch!

104
00:29:06,751 --> 00:29:13,334
A noble with no office,
like a hound without a tail

105
00:29:13,334 --> 00:29:17,251
which is to great avail,

106
00:29:17,251 --> 00:29:24,292
do you, sir,
view the lack of one as good?

107
00:29:46,709 --> 00:29:50,126
Vivat!

108
00:30:25,084 --> 00:30:28,042
The Count marvelled at
new and exquisite views,

109
00:30:28,042 --> 00:30:31,459
romantic, he called them,
and so he called his mind,

110
00:30:31,459 --> 00:30:33,709
in faith, he was of an odd kind.

111
00:31:31,334 --> 00:31:36,001
Is it true, my lord, that thou
won't pay for the trials?

112
00:31:36,001 --> 00:31:41,584
Will thou yield the castle
to the Soplica family?

113
00:31:45,001 --> 00:31:50,584
I will accept the court's conditions
of an agreement.

114
00:31:57,709 --> 00:32:01,126
Agreement with the Soplicas!
My lord, my dear sir,

115
00:32:01,126 --> 00:32:05,667
'tis no place to jest,
for the castle belongs to Horeszko,

116
00:32:05,667 --> 00:32:10,334
is Soplica to have that?

117
00:32:12,584 --> 00:32:20,876
Dismount thy horse, my lord,
thou shall see the castle.

118
00:32:36,751 --> 00:32:39,917
...They came to a halt,
upstairs,

119
00:32:39,917 --> 00:32:43,584
in the great mirror hall.

120
00:32:55,251 --> 00:32:58,584
There is enmity between
Soplica and Horeszko,

121
00:32:58,584 --> 00:33:03,001
thou hast Horeszko's
blood in your veins.

122
00:33:09,459 --> 00:33:14,959
My former lord, the Pantler,
had a child named Ewa,

123
00:33:14,959 --> 00:33:19,501
a daughter like an angel...

124
00:33:38,959 --> 00:33:44,626
Jacek Soplica,
a passionate man among the gentry,

125
00:33:44,626 --> 00:33:50,584
a quarreller, named the Voivod
jokingly...

126
00:34:25,917 --> 00:34:30,959
People say the Pantler's daughter
was fond of him

127
00:34:30,959 --> 00:34:35,167
and to her parents she
would not reveal it.

128
00:34:54,126 --> 00:34:58,834
...The dignitary's doors were closed

129
00:34:58,834 --> 00:35:02,584
for Jacek, the Cupbearer's son...

130
00:35:44,709 --> 00:35:51,251
It was in Kosciuszko's day, my lord
approved the law of the Third of May.

131
00:35:51,251 --> 00:35:59,167
He called for his knights,
when the Moscow army appeared at night.

132
00:36:18,042 --> 00:36:21,292
Seeing his enemies frightened,

133
00:36:21,292 --> 00:36:25,459
The Pantler ventured forth
with his sabre...

134
00:36:44,417 --> 00:36:49,876
I rubbed the blood from
his wounds in my rapier,

135
00:36:49,876 --> 00:36:57,209
and I swore to dull the blade
on Soplicas' necks.

136
00:37:24,334 --> 00:37:27,917
In no other country is there
such coffee as in Poland.

137
00:38:58,584 --> 00:39:04,042
Gentlemen prefer to stay in the room,
I shall head out to gather mushrooms.

138
00:40:47,167 --> 00:40:51,917
People knew the
gentleman's greatest crime,

139
00:40:51,917 --> 00:40:56,626
for he never appeared on time.

140
00:41:40,126 --> 00:41:44,209
Beside the fence narrow, long,
raised hills were stretched,

141
00:41:44,209 --> 00:41:50,001
free from trees, bushes and flowers:
the cucumber patch.

142
00:42:20,876 --> 00:42:25,667
Cucumbers for the Count?
Here they come!

143
00:43:25,084 --> 00:43:28,709
This man came here not to
frighten you or to beg,

144
00:43:28,709 --> 00:43:32,876
he is our guest,
look at his gentle and kind face.

145
00:43:35,959 --> 00:43:41,376
By whatever name I must honour thee,
thou art a goddess, a nymph,

146
00:43:41,376 --> 00:43:44,584
a spirit or a phantom, indeed.

147
00:44:16,001 --> 00:44:23,417
...Can you drive my stray
birds back into the grain?

148
00:44:31,042 --> 00:44:35,751
I shall no longer live in deceit,

149
00:44:35,751 --> 00:44:41,584
my mysterious nymph
simply feeds the geese!

150
00:44:43,792 --> 00:44:50,126
The Judge's company had gone out,
after a noisy breakfast,

151
00:44:50,126 --> 00:44:56,167
for the rite of mushroom-gathering.

152
00:45:59,542 --> 00:46:05,292
The place is so peaceful and divine,
where Telimena often hides,

153
00:46:05,292 --> 00:46:09,626
she called it her Musing Shrine.

154
00:48:12,334 --> 00:48:18,584
Bravo, congratulations on thy talent,
do not neglect it,

155
00:48:18,584 --> 00:48:25,001
thou must search for the
beauty of nature above all!

156
00:48:25,001 --> 00:48:28,251
Oh happy skies of the Italian lands!

157
00:48:50,334 --> 00:48:55,959
That Italian sky, as I have heard,
it is blue and clear,

158
00:48:55,959 --> 00:48:59,542
yet it is like frozen water.

159
00:48:59,542 --> 00:49:04,709
Aren't wind and bad weather
a hundred times better?

160
00:49:06,334 --> 00:49:12,376
Wherever thou shall lay thy eyes,
there are plenty of sights!

161
00:49:12,376 --> 00:49:16,001
What sceneries and pictures
are made of clouds!

162
00:49:47,334 --> 00:49:52,876
An unexpected guest appeared,
and one could deduce,

163
00:49:52,876 --> 00:49:57,751
from his face and posture,
that he brought remarkable news.

164
00:50:07,834 --> 00:50:10,834
A bear, my lord!

165
00:50:13,751 --> 00:50:17,292
Tomorrow, before five,
my brothers huntsmen

166
00:50:17,292 --> 00:50:19,917
shall come to the forest shrine.

167
00:51:23,251 --> 00:51:28,167
...Sir, thou must be awake,
the hunt has begun,

168
00:51:28,167 --> 00:51:30,542
it is late...

169
00:51:56,042 --> 00:52:02,959
An old Jew,
known for his good nature,

170
00:52:02,959 --> 00:52:08,084
had ran a tavern for many years...

171
00:52:17,376 --> 00:52:22,709
Can ye believe that General Dabrowski

172
00:52:22,709 --> 00:52:26,917
took a sniff or four
from this box?

173
00:53:14,334 --> 00:53:18,959
...The war is near!
The war for Poland, my brothers,

174
00:53:18,959 --> 00:53:23,001
we shall be Poles again here!

175
00:53:29,167 --> 00:53:33,501
Dabrowski, the general of ours,
and our white eagles!

176
00:53:33,501 --> 00:53:39,459
They shall come, by Napoleon's order,
cross the river at the border!

177
00:53:39,459 --> 00:53:42,959
Our homeland will be resurrected!

178
00:54:51,959 --> 00:54:58,209
When Napoleon takes snuffs,
one after the other,

179
00:54:58,209 --> 00:55:03,917
before the battle is over,
it is a sign of victory.

180
00:55:26,876 --> 00:55:31,876
Let us join his army!
Upon seeing our lances

181
00:55:31,876 --> 00:55:36,626
Napoleon will ask who we are,
we shall shout:

182
00:55:36,626 --> 00:55:41,834
Insurgents, Your Majesty,
volunteers from Lithuania!

183
00:55:52,042 --> 00:55:58,042
My Reverend Father! When shall it be?

184
00:55:58,042 --> 00:56:04,917
Their arrival is prophesied for
every feast day in the year!

185
00:56:21,459 --> 00:56:28,167
To invite and await a guest
is the least,

186
00:56:28,167 --> 00:56:34,917
the whole household must be gathered
and we must prepare a feast,

187
00:56:35,084 --> 00:56:42,084
but first, cleanse your
houses of filth and dirt.

188
00:57:30,834 --> 00:57:36,584
He saw Thaddeus, through the window,

189
00:57:36,584 --> 00:57:41,417
galloping on the highroad.

190
00:58:13,376 --> 00:58:19,376
Who did explore Lithuanian wilderness,

191
00:58:19,376 --> 00:58:24,292
down to the very heart?

192
00:58:45,584 --> 00:58:49,917
Stupid bear!
If thou had stayed in thy den!

193
01:00:04,709 --> 01:00:10,167
The bear scared by the hounds
and the human horde,

194
01:00:10,167 --> 01:00:15,584
escaped to a place
which was not secured.

195
01:01:57,959 --> 01:02:03,667
And the melody of the horn

196
01:02:03,667 --> 01:02:09,376
was echoed by the
oaks and beeches.

197
01:03:11,042 --> 01:03:16,667
Soon the sound died in the air

198
01:03:16,667 --> 01:03:22,876
and they looked at the fresh
corpse of the bear.

199
01:04:05,167 --> 01:04:09,584
Gentlemen, the bullet comes not
from your rifle but Horeszko's,

200
01:04:09,584 --> 01:04:12,501
yet it was not me who fired...

201
01:04:16,001 --> 01:04:21,959
To fire between two
heads and never miss!

202
01:04:21,959 --> 01:04:28,584
Gentlemen! As long as I live
only one man had such aim:

203
01:04:28,584 --> 01:04:34,584
Jacek was his name,
known as Moustache.

204
01:04:41,917 --> 01:04:46,876
The Count is wealthy!
The moneyed have whimsical tastes!

205
01:04:46,876 --> 01:04:51,876
The Count with his fair hair!
Such art not too passionate!

206
01:04:51,876 --> 01:04:56,542
And Thaddeus?
A boy kind-hearted and innocent,

207
01:04:56,542 --> 01:05:01,417
for the first time smells
love's sweet scent...

208
01:05:17,959 --> 01:05:21,501
I shall consider
the Count's fate,

209
01:05:21,501 --> 01:05:26,834
will he be fond of Zosia or nay...

210
01:05:55,584 --> 01:06:00,417
...It is time to give up
turkeys and hens.

211
01:06:00,417 --> 01:06:05,917
Fie! is such fun worthy
of a dignitary's daughter!

212
01:06:15,959 --> 01:06:25,042
I shall bring thou into the world today!

213
01:06:37,709 --> 01:06:43,876
Since I have lived with
the hens and turkeys

214
01:06:43,876 --> 01:06:50,501
the only guest I saw was a wild clove!

215
01:08:34,876 --> 01:08:37,042
...Curtsy!

216
01:09:02,876 --> 01:09:07,209
Be careful, my Zosia,
the young Count is here,

217
01:09:07,209 --> 01:09:11,876
a kinsman of the Voivod,
he is well-behaved,

218
01:09:11,876 --> 01:09:15,459
remember to be affable to him.

219
01:11:39,209 --> 01:11:43,042
In the birch wood,
there was an ant nest.

220
01:11:43,042 --> 01:11:48,209
The insects, busy black and fast,
were crawling in the grass.

221
01:12:57,626 --> 01:12:59,876
No one remembers such
a dreary supper...

222
01:14:19,542 --> 01:14:25,376
I drink to Robak's health,
Seneschal, clink your glass with mine!

223
01:14:31,709 --> 01:14:37,334
I will not give the hide to the Monk.

224
01:14:37,334 --> 01:14:44,376
The Chamberlain shall give it to him
who has deserved the second reward.

225
01:14:54,167 --> 01:14:58,584
...The Count shall have it

226
01:14:58,584 --> 01:15:03,251
to adorn his hunting chamber!

227
01:15:18,167 --> 01:15:24,501
Let it hang among the
trophies on the wall

228
01:15:24,501 --> 01:15:31,167
until the Judge gives me
the castle as a whole.

229
01:16:17,334 --> 01:16:21,792
A violation in the castle over
which the Judge has his authority,

230
01:16:21,792 --> 01:16:26,459
for he dines here, in these walls.

231
01:16:52,501 --> 01:16:58,959
Dare not harm my servitor,

232
01:16:58,959 --> 01:17:05,167
he shall be safe inside my doors!

233
01:17:05,167 --> 01:17:07,334
...Buffoon! Little Count!

234
01:17:12,876 --> 01:17:16,667
Let us duel next morn,
we will choose our weapons and place,

235
01:17:16,667 --> 01:17:17,709
Now flee apace!

236
01:17:19,876 --> 01:17:25,376
The art of throwing knives,
terrible in close combat,

237
01:17:25,376 --> 01:17:31,251
had been neglected,
it was familiar to the elders...

238
01:17:31,251 --> 01:17:34,709
The Seneschal tried it.

239
01:18:50,917 --> 01:18:57,501
Protazy, although a bold man,
was somedeal scared,

240
01:18:57,501 --> 01:19:03,917
when he opened the door
and not a soul was there.

241
01:19:19,251 --> 01:19:22,751
The Dobrzynskis' backwater
was distinguished among others

242
01:19:22,751 --> 01:19:26,501
by the bravery of their sons and
the beauty of their daughters.

243
01:19:45,292 --> 01:19:50,167
...The Lithuanians shall be fain
to demonstrate to Napoleon

244
01:19:50,167 --> 01:19:55,584
their desire to unite with the Crown,
their sister, yet again,

245
01:19:55,584 --> 01:20:00,042
and for Poland to be restored.

246
01:20:15,542 --> 01:20:20,417
Wars with the Muscovites!
Fight! Attack them!

247
01:20:27,792 --> 01:20:34,126
His name was Buchman
but he was a Pole.

248
01:20:38,626 --> 01:20:45,126
My predecessors in
their eloquent speeches.

249
01:20:57,917 --> 01:21:03,959
Confederation is what we need!
That is what we bid!

250
01:21:03,959 --> 01:21:10,292
Maciej is our marshal, and his Switch
is a baton!

251
01:21:32,126 --> 01:21:36,626
The Penknife bows to the Switch.

252
01:21:50,501 --> 01:21:57,334
Robak had said to cleanse our home
of filth and dirt

253
01:21:57,334 --> 01:22:04,376
before Napoleon shall come.
Who is the dirt of our land!

254
01:22:06,917 --> 01:22:08,584
Why, it is Soplica!

255
01:22:16,792 --> 01:22:21,626
But the Judge loves Poland,
and Polish tradition,

256
01:22:21,626 --> 01:22:25,959
he gives no admission
to Muscovite customs.

257
01:22:25,959 --> 01:22:31,042
When I return from Prussia
I go to Soplicowo

258
01:22:31,042 --> 01:22:36,876
to the Center of the Polish clan,
to cleanse myself of all that is German!

259
01:22:50,542 --> 01:22:55,167
...If you wish to harm the Judge,
it is ill...

260
01:22:55,167 --> 01:23:00,709
Where is a lawyer? Or a cell?

261
01:23:00,709 --> 01:23:06,501
For there are legions of servicemen
in his village!

262
01:23:33,167 --> 01:23:35,751
Is a foray roguery?

263
01:23:35,751 --> 01:23:41,292
You are afraid of prison!
Do I summon you to draw?

264
01:23:41,292 --> 01:23:44,834
Brothers, I side with the law!

265
01:24:04,584 --> 01:24:08,417
...Fools! Fools!

266
01:24:08,417 --> 01:24:14,709
Since the parley over the resurrection
of Poland

267
01:24:14,709 --> 01:24:20,917
and the common good began,
you all were quarrelling mad!

268
01:24:23,376 --> 01:24:29,417
But let one raise his private grudges
and you agree, you fools!

269
01:24:56,459 --> 01:24:59,626
Let us storm the Soplicas!

270
01:25:42,251 --> 01:25:47,459
...The clear sky
embraced the earth tight,

271
01:25:47,459 --> 01:25:52,251
when it was silvered
by the moonlight.

272
01:26:30,917 --> 01:26:37,126
Brother! I lived and
wished to die as a monk,

273
01:26:37,126 --> 01:26:43,876
without revealing my
name not only to the mob

274
01:26:43,876 --> 01:26:49,709
but even to you and my own son!

275
01:27:28,917 --> 01:27:35,376
In case of war,
the secret is known to you,

276
01:27:35,376 --> 01:27:42,251
finish what I had begun,
you are a Soplica, remember!

277
01:27:49,001 --> 01:27:54,501
A comet is a sign of war
or a feud!

278
01:27:54,501 --> 01:28:01,501
It appeared o'er Soplicowo,
it is not good.

279
01:28:37,334 --> 01:28:44,167
I could not marry damsel Rosa
for I am in love with Zosia,

280
01:28:44,167 --> 01:28:48,584
one's heart cannot be changed!

281
01:29:01,709 --> 01:29:09,376
I shall marry you off to her myself!

282
01:29:25,126 --> 01:29:30,792
Telimena will not let me have Zosia!

283
01:30:04,501 --> 01:30:10,709
Soplica! The long-time enemy of my kin,

284
01:30:10,709 --> 01:30:17,167
I shall punish thou for
thy old and new crimes!

285
01:30:19,542 --> 01:30:23,792
In the name of the Father
and the Son!

286
01:30:23,792 --> 01:30:26,459
My lord, art thou a villain?

287
01:30:54,167 --> 01:31:01,334
The blood of the innocent
shall never stain my sword,

288
01:31:01,334 --> 01:31:08,667
you, the Soplicas, are my prisoners,
and I am your lord!

289
01:32:50,542 --> 01:32:53,709
The Count calls for the Apparitor

290
01:32:53,709 --> 01:32:57,042
to announce to the noble commission

291
01:32:57,042 --> 01:33:00,251
the Count's immediate intromission
to the castle...

292
01:33:04,251 --> 01:33:06,209
I am Jacek Soplica...

293
01:33:10,459 --> 01:33:15,167
I shall never bend
under human wrath,

294
01:33:15,167 --> 01:33:19,084
for I am in God's hand.

295
01:33:34,792 --> 01:33:39,542
...To slay him so stealthily,
a Polish lord, in Poland

296
01:33:39,542 --> 01:33:43,292
and in league with the Muscovites!

297
01:33:44,334 --> 01:33:49,417
It is deceit,
I was not in league with them!

298
01:33:50,792 --> 01:33:56,834
Oh why, my Gerwazy,
why did you miss then?

299
01:34:01,042 --> 01:34:08,042
The Pantler's daughter was sent to
Siberia with her husband, the voivod.

300
01:34:08,042 --> 01:34:14,959
She died there, very young
and left Zosia, her child in Poland

301
01:34:14,959 --> 01:34:20,001
I ordered to tend to her...

302
01:34:22,584 --> 01:34:25,751
...I wedded the first girl I saw,

303
01:34:25,751 --> 01:34:30,251
she was poor and I did not love her
at all.

304
01:34:30,251 --> 01:34:33,334
Poor Thaddeus's mother.

305
01:34:35,751 --> 01:34:38,167
I fled the country!

306
01:34:38,167 --> 01:34:42,292
Where I was, what I suffered!
I will not speak.

307
01:34:42,292 --> 01:34:46,626
I did not run for glory at the swords,
arrows and spears.

308
01:35:26,542 --> 01:35:30,584
...To the imperial secret office
the war had come,

309
01:35:30,584 --> 01:35:34,376
The Emperor declared it
to all the world,

310
01:35:34,376 --> 01:35:38,542
they called for a meeting
of the Parliament in Warsaw.

311
01:36:03,792 --> 01:36:09,584
May God forgive you the same way!

312
01:36:54,417 --> 01:37:00,459
...My Lord, let thy servant go in peace.

313
01:37:07,126 --> 01:37:10,334
Year 1812.

314
01:37:10,334 --> 01:37:18,542
What a year! That no man had ever seen!

315
01:37:31,209 --> 01:37:33,251
War! War!

316
01:37:33,251 --> 01:37:40,417
The rumble reached every
corner of the Lithuanian land.

317
01:38:16,501 --> 01:38:19,917
Soplicowo did lie
near a wide road,

318
01:38:20,084 --> 01:38:24,417
on which two generals rode,
from the Neman.

319
01:40:02,959 --> 01:40:09,626
Jacek, called Robak,
was wounded two times

320
01:40:09,626 --> 01:40:16,709
when the fortified Somosierra
was captured by the Uhlans.

321
01:40:23,376 --> 01:40:30,334
The Seneschal must
prepare a feast

322
01:40:30,334 --> 01:40:37,751
to exalt the house of Soplica
for ever and ever.

323
01:41:05,501 --> 01:41:11,792
...Poles had fought with
Lithuania more severely

324
01:41:11,792 --> 01:41:17,542
than the Soplicas with the Horeszkos.

325
01:41:22,626 --> 01:41:27,876
The Crown's and Lithuania's
fates had been odd,

326
01:41:27,876 --> 01:41:31,584
the two are like spouses!

327
01:41:31,584 --> 01:41:37,501
What was joined together by God,
the devil has separated!

328
01:41:45,001 --> 01:41:51,709
If today Lithuania
and the Crown unite,

329
01:41:51,709 --> 01:41:57,417
all is pardoned and reconciled!

330
01:42:28,667 --> 01:42:33,417
But marriage, dear Zosia,
is a matter of great importance!

331
01:42:33,417 --> 01:42:39,667
Thou must listen to thy heart,
not to one's reflection or stance.

332
01:43:12,209 --> 01:43:18,251
The maids said
that I was in love,

333
01:43:18,251 --> 01:43:24,209
if I truly am,
I love thee, my lord.

334
01:43:49,959 --> 01:43:53,751
I shall die at peace!

335
01:43:53,751 --> 01:43:59,709
There is a man who
will care for my dear child.

336
01:44:16,626 --> 01:44:23,251
A Polish hero is what Poland needs,
not a French, not an Italian,

337
01:44:23,251 --> 01:44:27,959
but a Piast, Jan or Jozef...

338
01:44:40,042 --> 01:44:45,667
The guests gathered in the great hall

339
01:44:45,667 --> 01:44:51,792
waiting for the feast,
they spoke of it all.

340
01:45:26,084 --> 01:45:32,876
Whether someone had counselled
Zosia to dress in such garments,

341
01:45:32,876 --> 01:45:36,209
or whether she knew by instinct...

342
01:46:26,959 --> 01:46:33,292
Have thou forgotten thy vows?

343
01:46:33,292 --> 01:46:40,167
Oh, gullible,
why did I wear these bands?

344
01:47:12,959 --> 01:47:18,251
Meanwhile,
the guests had finished the dessert

345
01:47:18,251 --> 01:47:22,167
and went outside for fresh air.

346
01:47:22,167 --> 01:47:25,084
Here the feast must end.

347
01:47:35,001 --> 01:47:43,376
...Oh thou, whose grace awakens painful
delights and blissful ordeal!

348
01:48:27,167 --> 01:48:32,792
Let us, free men,
make the villagers free too,

349
01:48:32,792 --> 01:48:38,709
let us grant them the heritage
of the land they were born on,

350
01:48:38,709 --> 01:48:45,584
which they gained by bloody toil,
which nourishes and enriches us all.

351
01:48:51,459 --> 01:48:57,501
If thou will ordain them free,

352
01:48:57,501 --> 01:49:03,209
my heart will be closer to thee...

353
01:49:13,167 --> 01:49:18,917
...To your health, fellow men!
To the free and equal Poles!

354
01:49:26,501 --> 01:49:29,667
To the health of the people!

355
01:49:37,417 --> 01:49:42,584
Long live the generals!

356
01:49:51,542 --> 01:49:55,501
Vivat the army,

357
01:49:55,501 --> 01:49:59,292
vivat the people,

358
01:49:59,292 --> 01:50:03,459
vivat all classes!

359
01:50:09,501 --> 01:50:14,959
For the winter,
Jankiel was nowhere to be found,

360
01:50:14,959 --> 01:50:21,001
he suddenly appeared
with the High Command.

361
01:50:30,542 --> 01:50:35,042
There were many dulcimer players,

362
01:50:35,042 --> 01:50:39,626
but none of them dared to perform
in Jankiel's presence.

363
01:50:57,626 --> 01:51:03,251
Jankiel, please!
This is my betrothal, play for me!

364
01:51:03,251 --> 01:51:10,084
Have you not often promised
to play at my wedding?

365
01:52:26,709 --> 01:52:31,667
I call on the name of the Lord

366
01:52:31,667 --> 01:52:38,459
to bless our intention to
save and elate our Motherland...

367
01:52:56,917 --> 01:53:02,167
Vivat the king! Vivat the parliament,

368
01:53:02,167 --> 01:53:07,876
vivat the nation, vivat all classes!

369
01:54:17,042 --> 01:54:21,917
I recognize those notes!
That is Targowica!

370
01:55:15,834 --> 01:55:23,209
Poland has not yet perished!
March Dabrowski to Poland!

371
01:57:54,251 --> 01:58:01,251
General, Lithuania awaited you as
long as the Jews awaited the Messiah.

372
01:58:01,251 --> 01:58:07,001
The bards soothsaid your coming,

373
01:58:07,001 --> 01:58:12,876
you were sent like a miracle
from the skies.

374
01:58:12,876 --> 01:58:15,751
Live and fight, our general!

375
01:58:45,417 --> 01:58:50,084
The polonaise shall begin.

376
02:01:23,626 --> 02:01:28,917
Ah, perhaps he is the last!
Watch him, young men!

377
02:01:28,917 --> 02:01:33,917
The last who can lead the polonaise
in such fashion!

378
02:02:46,584 --> 02:02:51,042
Until Zosia became weary,
she met Thaddeus on her way,

379
02:02:51,042 --> 02:02:54,501
she wished to stay by his side,

380
02:02:54,501 --> 02:02:59,126
too afraid to lose this chance,
she ended the dance.
