00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,496
Polish TV presents:

2
00:00:02,501 --> 00:00:05,939
An ILUZJON production

3
00:00:19,369 --> 00:00:25,149
BLACK CLOUDS

4
00:00:27,195 --> 00:00:30,313
The scenario:

5
00:00:31,883 --> 00:00:34,876
Starring:

6
00:01:12,588 --> 00:01:15,069
Directed by:

7
00:01:21,180 --> 00:01:25,118
<i>Colonel Dowgird, Polish nobleman
in the service of the prince elector,</i>

8
00:01:25,118 --> 00:01:27,578
Fed up with the crimes committed
in East Prussia,</i>

9
00:01:27,578 --> 00:01:31,276
<i>refuses to obey
the elector prince.</i>

10
00:01:35,228 --> 00:01:37,885
<i>Arrested during an attempt
of the release of a townsman,</i>

11
00:01:37,885 --> 00:01:40,804
unjustly sentenced to death,
escapes helped by Kacper...</i>

12
00:01:40,804 --> 00:01:45,290
and by his former commander, Odrowaz,
who went to prison for it.</i>

13
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,304
<i>Dowgird makes his way
towards the Polish border,</i>

14
00:01:49,304 --> 00:01:54,292
<i>but he's being chased by sergeant Zaremba
and by the captain Knothe.</i>

15
00:01:56,300 --> 00:01:59,572
<i>Dowgird and Zaremba meet
in an old mill and duel.</i>

16
00:01:59,572 --> 00:02:02,610
<i>Colonel Dowgird wins
and runs away on horseback with Kacper.</i>

17
00:02:04,345 --> 00:02:08,512
<i>At a lake near the border I meet
a noblewoman, Magda Domaradzka,</i>

18
00:02:08,512 --> 00:02:11,897
<i>whose mansion had been rioted
by the troops who were looking for Dowgird.</i>

19
00:02:15,956 --> 00:02:19,072
<i>Magda helps them get there
to the nearest monastery</i>

20
00:02:19,072 --> 00:02:23,202
<i>where the comedians had also performed
with whom they had met before.</i>

21
00:02:24,683 --> 00:02:27,238
<i>Soon Knothe arrived with the soldiers,</i>

22
00:02:28,406 --> 00:02:32,748
<i>but the monks and the comedians gave a hand
help to get rid of his pursuers.</i>

23
00:02:32,748 --> 00:02:37,818
<i>Dowgird and Kasper leave the monastery
and they go to an inn,</i>

24
00:02:37,818 --> 00:02:41,605
<i>where Kacper was caught by the soldiers.</i>

25
00:02:44,430 --> 00:02:49,435
<i>Colonel Dowgird is determined to surrender
to escape his companion,</i>

26
00:02:53,171 --> 00:02:56,515
<i>but they are helped, again, by comedians.</i>

27
00:02:56,550 --> 00:02:59,397
<i>Father of the actress...</i>

28
00:03:00,582 --> 00:03:03,187
Part five

29
00:03:54,345 --> 00:03:55,998
Be careful!

30
00:04:00,533 --> 00:04:03,392
Gentlemen, the soldiers are coming!
Follow me!

31
00:04:03,392 --> 00:04:05,866
Colonel, let's go.

32
00:04:11,449 --> 00:04:14,870
Dad, you were wonderful.

33
00:04:14,870 --> 00:04:17,123
Of course.

34
00:04:17,445 --> 00:04:20,104
- I will never forget you, miss.
- Me neither.

35
00:04:31,431 --> 00:04:34,302
Come on, hurry up, gentlemen!
Hurry up!

36
00:04:34,302 --> 00:04:37,269
Colonel, these are them
the best I have found.

37
00:04:45,037 --> 00:04:47,180
Good luck!

38
00:04:52,464 --> 00:04:54,697
Follow me!

39
00:05:47,921 --> 00:05:51,371
Five dead. Only this one escaped,
but he's really drunk.

40
00:05:51,371 --> 00:05:54,860
Gentlemen, I also serve him
on the prince elector.

41
00:05:55,032 --> 00:05:58,809
I didn't want to give them the horses,
but they forced me to drink.

42
00:05:58,809 --> 00:05:59,871
Where is the border?

43
00:05:59,871 --> 00:06:03,708
Beyond the forest, by the lake.
I'll show you the way.

44
00:06:03,743 --> 00:06:06,058
Get him on the horse.

45
00:06:07,111 --> 00:06:09,543
Be careful not to fall off the horse.

46
00:06:21,743 --> 00:06:23,705
Sir, no chance.

47
00:06:23,705 --> 00:06:27,142
- He's dead drunk.
- I know the area. I'll show you the way.

48
00:06:27,423 --> 00:06:29,939
Let's go!

49
00:07:48,987 --> 00:07:52,387
We need your boat.

50
00:07:52,555 --> 00:07:54,857
Take it!

51
00:08:02,638 --> 00:08:04,536
The oars.

52
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,938
May God reward you.

53
00:09:11,677 --> 00:09:14,449
I killed him!

54
00:09:32,900 --> 00:09:35,113
Too late, Mr. Rotmeister.

55
00:09:38,367 --> 00:09:40,325
Coward!

56
00:10:11,701 --> 00:10:14,359
Wait!
hold my horse

57
00:10:25,708 --> 00:10:29,287
His Highness, the Elector Prince, ordered
to go to Warsaw with me

58
00:10:29,287 --> 00:10:31,429
Margrave Ansbach.

59
00:10:31,907 --> 00:10:33,526
I understand.

60
00:10:33,526 --> 00:10:35,663
I am carrying confidential documents

61
00:10:35,663 --> 00:10:40,663
which can only be opened by the representative
the prince elector of Warsaw.

62
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,359
You are responsible for their safety,
Excellence.

63
00:10:44,359 --> 00:10:47,766
I ordered him to join the escort
the best soldiers.

64
00:10:48,713 --> 00:10:52,897
The voter is worried about the events
that happened in Lecko

65
00:10:52,897 --> 00:10:54,766
and waiting for an explanation.

66
00:10:56,192 --> 00:11:01,725
Till I see Dowgird crawling
at the feet of the Elector, I will not...

67
00:11:02,850 --> 00:11:05,148
Excellence!

68
00:11:05,733 --> 00:11:08,056
Knothe!
did you catch it

69
00:11:08,056 --> 00:11:10,443
Dowgird is dead!

70
00:11:17,904 --> 00:11:19,054
I did it myself!

71
00:11:19,054 --> 00:11:23,234
But I wanted him alive!
Alive!

72
00:11:23,234 --> 00:11:28,762
Take care, Excellency,
may your wish not come true.

73
00:13:59,158 --> 00:14:01,550
He will get thirsty.

74
00:14:16,972 --> 00:14:19,942
They need horses.

75
00:14:20,565 --> 00:14:22,977
will you leave me

76
00:14:24,438 --> 00:14:28,541
God will forgive us.

77
00:14:32,236 --> 00:14:35,304
And she will go with them.

78
00:14:43,795 --> 00:14:46,385
I hate this country.

79
00:14:47,263 --> 00:14:49,808
There is neither law nor order here.

80
00:14:51,086 --> 00:14:53,494
Everyone is their own boss here.

81
00:14:54,084 --> 00:14:58,794
I say:
"At home, I command".

82
00:14:58,918 --> 00:15:04,660
They are impertinent, insolent
and envious.

83
00:15:05,677 --> 00:15:09,615
I can't talk about politics
without even drinking some mead.

84
00:15:10,833 --> 00:15:14,046
And I never agree
with each other.

85
00:15:16,291 --> 00:15:22,396
That's how the king of Sweden perceived them,
Carol Gustav, in Polish,

86
00:15:24,212 --> 00:15:27,246
but ended up being completely disappointed,
later.

87
00:15:27,947 --> 00:15:30,664
I can't believe it.

88
00:15:30,699 --> 00:15:35,718
He conquered the whole country,
exiled the Polish king,

89
00:15:36,317 --> 00:15:39,922
erased Poland from the map of Europe...

90
00:15:40,284 --> 00:15:43,903
and yet this nation does not feel defeated.

91
00:15:44,349 --> 00:15:46,097
Incredible!

92
00:15:46,097 --> 00:15:50,235
But the document you are carrying
could do more

93
00:15:50,235 --> 00:15:55,050
than the strongest army.

94
00:16:43,261 --> 00:16:45,958
Down!

95
00:16:50,485 --> 00:16:51,874
And you!

96
00:16:58,462 --> 00:17:02,071
- Bind the soldiers!
- The king himself will judge you for this.

97
00:17:02,071 --> 00:17:04,471
You attacked a representative of the Elector.
It's a crime of majesty...

98
00:17:04,471 --> 00:17:06,380
Unleash the horses!

99
00:17:06,380 --> 00:17:09,359
You will end up in jail for this.

100
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:10,927
Untie them!
Shut up!

101
00:17:10,927 --> 00:17:12,377
- You will pay for this, everyone!
- Shut up!

102
00:17:12,377 --> 00:17:14,464
- What do you want from us?
- Horses.

103
00:17:14,464 --> 00:17:16,780
- This is robbery!
- Unshackle them!

104
00:17:17,896 --> 00:17:20,172
We have to get to Warsaw by tomorrow.

105
00:17:20,941 --> 00:17:23,156
No one invited you here.

106
00:17:23,156 --> 00:17:25,300
Leave them only a horse.

107
00:17:42,156 --> 00:17:45,334
- It's empty!
- I'm paying you.

108
00:17:45,369 --> 00:17:47,375
It's empty!

109
00:17:49,335 --> 00:17:52,583
Take the horse behind the carriage.

110
00:17:53,717 --> 00:17:56,389
You've taken it in the wrong direction.
Go up!

111
00:18:19,391 --> 00:18:22,002
Have a good trip!

112
00:18:25,547 --> 00:18:28,530
Come on! Push!

113
00:18:29,754 --> 00:18:32,026
Everyone!

114
00:18:36,687 --> 00:18:40,986
I wish he would always run away like that
soldiers of the prince elector.

115
00:19:31,963 --> 00:19:36,849
- He's still sleeping.
- Sleep helps him recover.

116
00:19:52,642 --> 00:19:55,185
How come they haven't come yet?

117
00:19:55,185 --> 00:20:02,281
Sometimes you have to wait a long time
let the Elector's postman pass.

118
00:20:13,201 --> 00:20:15,292
I go to meet them.

119
00:20:16,988 --> 00:20:23,539
Look at the trees carefully. The cuts
from the trunks they will show you the way.

120
00:20:43,645 --> 00:20:46,178
Christ!

121
00:20:47,499 --> 00:20:49,907
Mr. Colonel!

122
00:20:52,610 --> 00:20:57,399
- Where am I?
- With friends.

123
00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,940
Take a seat, sir.

124
00:21:00,718 --> 00:21:02,419
What happened to me?

125
00:21:03,422 --> 00:21:06,432
You have been unconscious for the past two days.

126
00:21:08,226 --> 00:21:12,781
Natwiej took out a bullet
from your shoulder.

127
00:21:12,816 --> 00:21:15,488
May God reward you.

128
00:21:21,333 --> 00:21:23,990
I am very weak...

129
00:21:26,673 --> 00:21:28,944
... and hungry.

130
00:21:51,593 --> 00:21:54,119
Where is Kacper?

131
00:21:58,005 --> 00:22:01,765
- Is he alive?
- Live, yes...

132
00:22:02,120 --> 00:22:04,513
He went to the forest.

133
00:22:06,129 --> 00:22:08,738
I'm going to look for him.

134
00:23:17,289 --> 00:23:21,587
Don't tell anyone
that they are the prince elector's horses.

135
00:23:24,404 --> 00:23:25,801
Is it understood?

136
00:23:25,801 --> 00:23:28,810
Kacper!

137
00:23:31,881 --> 00:23:35,700
The colonel is alive and well.

138
00:24:17,762 --> 00:24:20,242
What strange carriage is this?

139
00:24:53,945 --> 00:24:56,425
This is the colonel's coat.

140
00:24:58,033 --> 00:25:00,025
- Looks like new!
- So what?

141
00:25:00,025 --> 00:25:02,392
You wanted the colonel to show
like a beggar?

142
00:25:02,579 --> 00:25:05,682
They must have been hands of gold
those who repaired this coat.

143
00:25:09,431 --> 00:25:12,866
I killed a lot of Swedes in the forest...

144
00:25:13,074 --> 00:25:16,057
and even the Brandenburgs
they are afraid of kurpi.

145
00:25:20,406 --> 00:25:26,904
Send obeisances to our king,
Michal Korybut,

146
00:25:26,904 --> 00:25:31,831
and tell him that as long as we are
in these woods

147
00:25:31,831 --> 00:25:34,744
no enemy will dare to come here.

148
00:25:38,154 --> 00:25:40,388
Thank you from the bottom of my heart

149
00:25:41,138 --> 00:25:43,897
for your help

150
00:25:44,591 --> 00:25:46,653
and hospitality.

151
00:25:51,862 --> 00:25:54,902
Show them the way
which passes through the forest.

152
00:25:54,902 --> 00:25:57,844
It's the shortest way.

153
00:25:59,147 --> 00:26:04,746
goodbye
You will find friends everywhere.

154
00:26:04,746 --> 00:26:07,136
goodbye

155
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,427
Beyond this ford is the road
which leads to Warsaw.

156
00:28:01,597 --> 00:28:04,665
goodbye
Take this for the road.

157
00:28:04,665 --> 00:28:07,122
Thank you.

158
00:29:02,801 --> 00:29:05,889
Goodbye!
God protect you!

159
00:32:17,058 --> 00:32:18,915
You caught my eye!

160
00:32:21,032 --> 00:32:24,054
Let me go or I'll bite you!

161
00:32:26,841 --> 00:32:29,450
I will marry you!

162
00:33:23,264 --> 00:33:25,242
Stop!

163
00:33:40,458 --> 00:33:42,864
Kacper, follow me!

164
00:33:42,899 --> 00:33:45,557
You stay here, miss.

165
00:34:05,221 --> 00:34:08,139
Four of you in the back of the carriage.
Stop them!

166
00:37:50,741 --> 00:37:55,702
I don't know who you are, but I am yours
grateful that you defended us.

167
00:37:56,826 --> 00:38:02,699
- Are you hurt?
- God! How beautiful you are!

168
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:07,374
Auntie!

169
00:38:29,216 --> 00:38:31,644
Thank you.

170
00:38:34,919 --> 00:38:36,963
- I was afraid he would cut you.
- Magda...

171
00:38:36,963 --> 00:38:39,503
- What would I have done without you, Kacper?
- Magda!

172
00:38:40,534 --> 00:38:45,318
- Magda, you...
- Don't say anything!

173
00:38:48,821 --> 00:38:53,042
- Here, take this.
- What is this?

174
00:38:53,577 --> 00:38:56,146
It's for you.

175
00:38:58,011 --> 00:39:00,511
Magda!

176
00:39:02,580 --> 00:39:05,080
Kacper!

177
00:39:23,652 --> 00:39:27,638
- Where am I?
- Thank God!

178
00:39:27,638 --> 00:39:29,571
I thought you were seriously hurt.

179
00:39:29,571 --> 00:39:31,689
I was recently injured,
now i'm weak

180
00:39:31,689 --> 00:39:36,022
- Forgive me, madam.
- You are very brave.

181
00:39:36,022 --> 00:39:41,662
My cousin, Hatman Sobieski,
it will surely reward your courage.

182
00:39:41,662 --> 00:39:43,730
Hatman Sobieski?

183
00:39:43,730 --> 00:39:46,889
We fought the battle together
from Podhajce. He is a great commander.

184
00:39:47,412 --> 00:39:51,840
It's not hard to fight the enemies
when you have such soldiers under your command.

185
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:57,483
Allow me to introduce myself. Former colonel
of cavalry, Krzysztof Dowgird.

186
00:39:57,734 --> 00:39:59,700
Agatha Ostrowska

187
00:39:59,856 --> 00:40:04,998
and this is my niece
Miss Anna Ostrowska,

188
00:40:04,999 --> 00:40:08,631
daughter of the last stolnik of Sandomierz,

189
00:40:08,631 --> 00:40:11,869
killed in the battle of Warka
by a Swedish bullet.

190
00:40:12,527 --> 00:40:16,277
The Hatman loves her like the apple of his eye.

191
00:40:16,277 --> 00:40:18,243
Auntie!

192
00:40:19,659 --> 00:40:22,823
Why did you say: "former colonel"?

193
00:40:22,823 --> 00:40:25,274
I retired from the job of prince elector.

194
00:40:25,599 --> 00:40:30,118
What a coincidence! We were accompanied
by Margrave Ansbach and Herr von Rode,

195
00:40:30,118 --> 00:40:33,073
whose horses were taken after a fight
with some bandits.

196
00:40:33,108 --> 00:40:35,619
They brought you in the carriage.

197
00:40:35,790 --> 00:40:37,937
We were too weak for that.

198
00:40:42,794 --> 00:40:45,150
what happened

199
00:40:50,716 --> 00:40:53,780
Magda, go to the colonel.

200
00:40:53,780 --> 00:40:56,342
Go to the carriage.

201
00:41:01,454 --> 00:41:03,450
Dad!

202
00:41:09,450 --> 00:41:13,655
If you say a word, I'll blow your brains out.
If I were to die and all...

203
00:41:13,690 --> 00:41:16,012
- Kacper!
- Yes, sir!

204
00:41:25,509 --> 00:41:28,667
Colonel, the sword!

205
00:41:29,341 --> 00:41:33,133
ladies this is my friend
warmaster Kacper Pilch.

206
00:41:33,579 --> 00:41:35,807
And this is the young lady
Magdalena Domaradzka.

207
00:41:35,807 --> 00:41:38,357
I already met her
on this young speed.

208
00:41:38,555 --> 00:41:43,967
Gentlemen, this is our savior,
Colonel Krzysztof Dowgird.

209
00:41:43,967 --> 00:41:45,678
Margrave Ansbach...

210
00:41:46,258 --> 00:41:48,538
Sir, we have known each other for a long time.

211
00:41:48,538 --> 00:41:50,939
I'm glad to see you healthy.

212
00:41:50,939 --> 00:41:52,413
Yes, but...

213
00:41:52,448 --> 00:41:54,611
Herr von Rode.

214
00:41:54,611 --> 00:41:58,075
The two gentlemen were very brave,
defending themselves from robbers.

215
00:41:58,075 --> 00:42:02,330
Herr von Rode killed them with his own hand
on three of them.

216
00:42:05,417 --> 00:42:08,331
Poland is a wonderful country.

217
00:42:08,331 --> 00:42:10,228
Glad to hear that.

218
00:42:12,475 --> 00:42:16,390
During a journey you can be attacked
by some Poles

219
00:42:16,390 --> 00:42:18,722
and then robbed.

220
00:42:18,722 --> 00:42:21,840
After that, the same Poles
they will save your life.

221
00:42:21,841 --> 00:42:25,364
It's an enviable event.

222
00:42:25,768 --> 00:42:27,772
- "The same Poles"?
- No...

223
00:42:27,772 --> 00:42:30,938
I meant the nation...

224
00:42:31,663 --> 00:42:35,408
Such a temperamental people
he is expected to do great things.

225
00:42:35,896 --> 00:42:37,654
We should arrive in Warsaw
until the evening.

226
00:42:37,654 --> 00:42:39,281
Otherwise, the hatman will worry.

227
00:42:39,281 --> 00:42:41,235
Kacper, bring us the horses!

228
00:42:41,601 --> 00:42:45,412
Dear ladies, you allow the colonel
to ride in the carriage with you?

229
00:42:45,412 --> 00:42:47,826
- It has to be cleaned.
- Kacper!

230
00:42:47,826 --> 00:42:51,794
Yes, colonel! Herr von Rode
he can ride to Warsaw.

231
00:42:52,564 --> 00:42:56,153
It would be a good opportunity to watch
closer...

232
00:42:56,153 --> 00:42:58,287
- ... the locals and the places.
- Yes, but...

233
00:42:58,287 --> 00:43:01,924
A man riding a horse
he is always loved by women.

234
00:43:01,924 --> 00:43:04,177
Let's hit the road.

235
00:43:23,248 --> 00:43:25,695
Please ride.

236
00:43:25,730 --> 00:43:27,167
- Sell me the money!
- No idea.

237
00:43:27,167 --> 00:43:28,547
- I pay you in gold.
- I'm not selling it!

238
00:43:28,582 --> 00:43:31,179
Get on!

239
00:44:09,915 --> 00:44:12,448
They left us only one horse.

240
00:44:16,430 --> 00:44:18,657
You said he was Dowgird's companion?

241
00:44:18,657 --> 00:44:20,483
Yes, Your Excellency.

242
00:44:27,012 --> 00:44:29,404
You're sure you saw him take it
black stone?

243
00:44:30,276 --> 00:44:32,596
Yes, Your Excellency.

244
00:44:35,908 --> 00:44:37,532
What did Herr von Rode do?

245
00:44:39,206 --> 00:44:41,925
He wanted to redeem her with gold.

246
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:44,771
It would have been better not to have been born!

247
00:44:45,351 --> 00:44:48,314
Get out!

248
00:44:48,761 --> 00:44:51,061
Lottery!

249
00:44:53,292 --> 00:44:55,838
Harness the best horses to the black carriage.

250
00:44:55,838 --> 00:44:57,458
Four soldiers to be ready to go.

251
00:44:57,458 --> 00:45:00,002
- I'm going to Warsaw.
- Okay, Your Excellency.

252
00:45:02,026 --> 00:45:04,012
Wait!

253
00:45:08,032 --> 00:45:10,910
I want the messenger to carry
a letter to the prince elector.

254
00:45:10,910 --> 00:45:13,313
Bring him here, immediately!

255
00:45:14,967 --> 00:45:17,544
Starring:

256
00:45:28,112 --> 00:45:31,114
