Everybody want that the city to be pretty.

But, how?

Let us take the Kirov street.

It has been asphalted.

Two months of work!

The asphalt was still hot

when a municipal brigade arrived

and rip it off to do a trench.

and You speak of planning.

But, what to do

if each one goes to his?

The municipal committee!

Don't worry. Stop screaming.

The municipal committee! Give me Verchinine!

Verchinine!

Verchinine speaking.

What?

Missiles?

Yes...

Very well.

Yes.

Comrades,

On Sovietskaia street,

near school 34, they have found missiles.

Are there many?

Around thirty tons.

And the problem is really mine.

What do you think we shall do?

It has been prohibited to touch them.

The missiles have been 15 years under earth.

Circulate!

Are they as dangerous as before?

More than ever!

It is not possible to touch them.

If they explode,

they will do it with the same violence

as fifteen years ago.

Would it be necessary to explode them on the spot?

It is what the instructions say.

And then?

You know what it means to explode them in this city?

Thirty tons of explosives?

Stop.

- What is it? - A new building.

Well, after the explosion of this building,

it will be all ruins.

What do we do then?

I have no idea.

The only thing to do is to transport them far away.

But it will be with risk of our lives.

Yes, today we will not be able to leave our positions...

Citizens, circulate!

There is no danger, circulate!

Do not remain here, circulate!

DANGER NO ENTRY

There are already ruins here.

We are not in war,

I cannot send my men to death.

And for us... it is inconceivable

that our city flies in pieces.

Pardon, comrade colonel

but if I were able,

i would transfer those damn missiles myself.

But you are not able to!

No. And you?

You cannot pass!

I have to.

It is prohibited. Did you not see the cord?

I know it, I know the orders...

You are not needed here.

You cannot pass, understand?

We shall go, Morozov.

You want to send these men to clear mines?

They are fed up to keep this zone!

What do you want?

I want to work with you.

I was fireman during the war.

For seven years.

Then... do you take me?

To do what?

To transport the missiles.

No.

It would be too much responsibility.

Go away.

Comrade, one missile makes a noise.

It is because of the sun. Take off your jacket.

Shall I regroup people?

It's bad.

A sparrow settles and... it salutes to the company!

Who is of permission?

I.

I.

This does not concern you...

Those that want to follow me must reflect this.

This is going to be very hard.

If I understand it right, you want to help us.

If you are serious, yes.

But tell me frankly:

yes or no?

One monent.

Then, Galitch, what do we have?

Thirty tons.

More or less.

The rest is clear.

It will be made tomorrow, if it goes well.

Well.

It creates problems for me to choose the conductor.

I think about Sadovnik, but I do not know.

He is a novice. He just arrived.

I understand, captain!

Comrade colonel!

Do you come? It is necessary to do something!

I come.

Vassili Makarytch... NO.

You have been a soldier...

you know perfectly well that I cannot take you.

Let the captain do his job

and everyone else do theirs!

I understand.

Good luck!

Thanks.

What happens?

Calm, comrades!

Comrades,

a group of soldiers directed by captain Galitch

will transport the missiles far from the city...

You envy them?

I am going away to water the flowers.

- Don't you sleep? - I wanted to smoke.

Let us hope that it does not rain tomorrow.

- Do they sleep? - Yes.

- Have you seen the conductor? - Yes.

And...?

I do not know what to say... He is young.

Sleeping?

Surely.

Good, I leave.

- Good night, captain. - Good night.

I hope it does not rain tomorrow.

It will not.

- Can I speak with you? - Yes.

Authorize me to not have to be with the operation tomorrow.

I cannot.

Before I could, but not now.

They await me at home, I have my ticket in my pocket.

Let's assemble the guard to me

Well... rejoin the guard tomorrow.

Attention!

Comrades, in this difficult and decisive hour

in which we left our city,

we called you to be calm,

to be organized and have discipline.

At eight in the morning,

There shall not be a single soul left in the city.

The transports are mobilized

in order to evacuate the patients, the disabled and the children.

Everybody must remain outside the limits of the city,

near the towns of Lebiaji Proudy and...

Take your raincoat.

No, it will not rain today.

What?

Nothing.

Close and go away.

I will go...

Good, I leave.

What happened?

- How did he arrive? - By a bus...

- How long ago? - Around two hours.

It has been impossible to find a vehicle.

On a table!

How? Operate him in the hospital of the town.

Impossible, it's already too late.

But things can happen here

with the trucks transporting the missiles and...

What do you hope for?

- Ivan Nikolaevitch... - Calm down.

We remain here all four.

Now, nothing depends on us any more.

Say something to them...

On behalf of all the city

a monument of honor will rise.

One moment ...

Good, you know what is necessary to say to them.

I know. I will say it.

Tell me...

Is there anybody left in the city?

Gauze.

Pincers.

Pulse?

None.

- Breathing? - Respiratory shutdown. Shock.

Alcohol, iodine.

We are prepared to fulfill our mission.

Can we begin?

Go ahead, Galitch!

Prepare!

Comrade colonel, according to the instructions...

I'll leave...

Do you got matches?

And...

Stop it, Tsignadze.

Why worry?

Thanks.

Calm down...

And there, my husband...

There it is, Kourierski.

Slowly then.

- Stop. Do you have it? - Yes.

Slowly... gently...

- Boys, what day is it? - The twenty-fifth.

What do you think about?

It is my birthday.

- How old are you? - Twenty.

So young and already bald!

- Happy Birthday! - Thanks.

It is not the 25th, but the 26th.

58 PIECES

One!

Good, I go.

- Be careful, Kolia. - Good luck.

Comrade Captain...

A cable.

Stop the work.

Volga... give me Colonel Gvelissiani.

Vassia. Come here!

Tell me.

What is it said one shall do if there is a cable?

Stop the work and explode the arsenal on the spot.

Well.

I must think.

Ah, these Germans...

Quit chattering.

Lionia

What?

Are you sure that the accmulators are damaged?

Volna... What happens?

Volna, respond!

Why don't you respond?

Come, it is an order!

Galitch, stop the work immediately!

Volna! What happens?

Why this silence?

Are you deaf?

Comrade Colonel.

Yes...

Well... Is it the last trip?

Bravo!

Go ahead.

How?

- Is this the one that sounded? - Yes.

Come.

What happens?

The trailer is open. But it will arrive.

One second!

I have blocked it with my boots.

What happens? Are they insane?

Holiday makers...

Move away the truck !

CALM VACATIONS IN CAR, PEACEFUL TRIP!

Now we are going to make some noise!

"Received by the Lieutenant Colonel"

Vassia, shall you return immediately?

No. Afterwards, with the Lieutenant Colonel.

"Given by Captain Galitch."

This is going to blow.

Let it rip.

Are you tired?

No, no.

What are you doing?

I thought that the brakes released...
