RED SPY. THE LAST POEM

EPISODE 3

Vasiliy Stepanovich we have enormous losses.

We will lose everything if this situation continues.

We are on the edge of collapse. Our army can lose any minute.

Spesivtsev.

Your Excellency!

What is the problem?

What is it?

I've got terrible news.

The army Treasury has been stolen.

Do you understand what has happened?

If we don't get it this will be the end!

The end of everything.

How did they let it happen?

On what station did it happen?

Near Bakchisarai. They reloaded for Inkerman.

There mustn't be any leak or it will create a panic.

If it were Reds they wouldn't go to the city.

Our borders are closed.

They will go by sea or over the mountains.

Send every man to search.

- Of course. - Send patrols.

Five people in every squad to cut off all the roads.

Search every corner. Not so much as a fly should pass.

Place patrols on the coast from the sea.

Search all vessels!

I give my order to use planes for searching the area.

They can't go far with such cargo.

- Understand? - I do!

- Follow my order! - Of course!

Search everywhere as far as Alma.

- Patrol on every five miles. - Got it!

From Ai-Petri to Kokol.

To Kamara and Foros.

Move! Move! Move!

To the airport.

We have a problem, Commander.

All the roads to the north are closed.

I met two patrols on my way back.

They are searching the forest.

We are done for in a couple of hours.

Maybe, we can try to fight?

It's risky. And we are running out of bullets.

The machine gun is empty.

We have more than one hundred boxes with guns.

I counted them.

There are bullets and grenades.

We can win the war with them!

- A squad of Whites is nothing! - Listen to my command!

If any of you, including this tallyman

open any of the boxes

I will shoot you in the face myself.

Understand?

Got it.

Commander...

We can't go far, it's true.

We must hide here.

And wait for our men.

- How long should we wait for? - As long as necessary.

We can hide the gold.

We need to find a place.

- In the mountains. - There are enough caves there.

They are even searching by plane.

Hide the cargo.

Cover it with branches.

We will stay here until we find a safe place.

Cargo down!

Hide yourself!

Where is the contact?

He didn't find me.

Maximillian Ottovich!

He was at the opera with that woman poet.

Then he didn't answer.

He vanished into thin air!

Maybe they had a love affair?

Lady poets are fond of such things.

You are paid well

for the information but we use it.

In fact I do.

You tell this only to me.

In our case mistakes cost lives.

I hope you got it.

This book might have been published

in the same printing house as the leaflet inside.

They have the same errors.

Find me this printing house.

I feel that this is a local one.

She came to the bookshop the day before yesterday.

I came after her.

Why didn't you write it in your report?

You didn't ask me about it. I thought it wasn't important.

I saw it by accident.

I mean I didn't find her in the shop.

There was a door.

Did anybody leave the shop?

Nobody.

I stayed there until night.

This shop must be watched.

Is the sabotage group ready?

Maximillian Ottovich, everything was prepared!

We are waiting!

For your command I should say.

If next time I find some more details by accident like today

you will have to count your teeth carefully.

Can you skip the meeting?

With whom?

With the journalist.

We've lost all the weapons carried by Golubev.

And he's gone.

They are beasts.

Gayev hung him. I saw it myself.

What a scoundrel!

I should have shot this bastard!

He has killed a lot of our men!

I am really sorry.

We haven't lived together for a long time.

But to see such a thing is awful.

What? What do you mean?

He was her ex-husband.

Golubev Grisha.

Let him rest in peace.

So we've get rid of

the corpse of the Italian.

You immediately move to a new flat.

Search all your contacts.

You've made a mistake.

You have no right to put us in danger.

And I should have reported you about it.

You must be dismissed

from this mission.

You can't do that. It is not fair!

No.

You can't do that.

I received an invitation to the Commander's son’s birthday.

No one can

get as close as I can.

It's the right distance to kill Wrangel.

Date? Time?

Friday at five o'clock.

At the country house.

Gayev must give permission for me to go there.

I talked to him.

He was very sweet.

When will you know for sure?

Today or tomorrow.

It is not an easy place to escape.

There are guards everywhere.

We don't have time to think it all over.

Do you realise that someone knows about you?

Or why did they put this corpse there?

The contact worked with the British.

Maybe it is Gayev?

No, it is not him.

II think he was killed by his own men.

I will find out.

You have to trust me.

We can't be in touch for this period.

If Gayev gives me permission it means

that he doesn't work for the British either.

Listen, I am the only person to be sacrificed.

But if I get into the house

I will complete the mission.

We will search

this place and all the guard posts, all people.

Yasha you are responsible for the rescue.

I need five men.

We will do everything.

What has happened?

Yasha - find some people!

We need ten people who are well-trained.

There will be training tomorrow night.

What is going on?

They decoded your information from the Italian.

We know the time and place

where the submarines will be destroyed.

What a big machine! Indeed, Varya!

Like this.

I have never held anything heavier than a feather in my hands!

Well, well.

- Aim. - Yes!

- And shoot. - Yes, shoot!

I missed.

- Well done! - It’s not for me.

- Once more. - Not my thing...

Help me.

Well, like this.

If you are quicker it will speed up.

Don't try too hard.

Just watch.

You must hold it tight. Good!

Put it harder to your shoulder.

And move your leg a bit forward. Yes, move it!

- I need to look through the hole? - Yes.

- Now shoot! - I am.

- Don't worry. - It's not my thing.

Take it, my dear.

- You are an angel, you can. - It's a matter of habit.

You need to concentrate.

Find your tempo.

And don't lose it.

It's fantastic!

Just like poetry.

Hello, Max.

No, poetry is a different thing.

Each of Elle Ferrari's poems are like good shots.

I've read them.

- Yes, I've read your article and it is brilliant.

Damn, it's not for me.

Not for me.

I’m no good.

You are one of those people who can do anything.

If you were alone on a desert island

you could make an airplane out of cloth and branches.

If you want to build an airplane, dear Max,

the main thing is your desire to fly away.

Good afternoon, who is winning?

Hello!

Good afternoon, we are just having fun.

Mr. Ermler, I didn't expect to see you here.

I was just passing by and saw the ladies.

I have some news for you from Gayev.

In person.

You can meet Peter Nikolaevich.

Olga Mikhailovna says hello to you.

Thank her.

They invited you to Peter's party.

- Hooray! - Varya!

I knew it!

It is going to be the best day ever!

I didn't expect that.

Would you allow us to give you a lift?

That would be most kind.

Shall we continue?

Are you alright?

I am really tired.

Very tired.

Varya is very active indeed.

If you won’t be upset

I'd rather say goodbye and go home to relax.

So, see you on Friday.

- Thank you, once again. - You are welcome.

Varya, thank you for having me. I had a wonderful time.

I'm grateful.

See you soon.

I want to escort you. We are going the same way.

Goodbye!

Elle, wait and listen!

There was nothing between me and that woman at the opera.

I don't care, that's alright.

None of us made any promises.

You sound just like me.

Wait! Wait!

We have more serious problems.

I want to talk to you.

And you will have to listen to me.

Volodya!

Volodya!

Hold the gun!

We are going to shoot!

And this time you are going to lose!

What on the earth did you do with that Italian guy?

I don't have to answer you.

But, actually...

I can answer only to you.

We've met at the opera house.

He turned out to be my countryman and we started talking.

We saw the play together.

Is it a crime?

I hope...

I really hope that it is not.

Well, he is

an acquaintance of my friends.

And they couldn’t find him after that night.

I can't help you.

He escorted me to the carriage that's all.

Alas.

"There is a tide in the affairs of men,

which taken at the flood,

leads on to fortune.

Omitted, all the voyage

of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries.

On such a full sea are we now afloat.

And we must take the current when it serves,

or lose our ventures."

Not every life has a meaning for me

but a pointless death.

It is impossible for me.

Shakespeare is a very good poet.

And he is absolutely right.

Everyone can make a choice.

Goodbye, Max.

Oh, no.

We know too much about each other.

And we have to make a compromise.

Wait, I will show you a "weapon".

Till you see the night sky.

Look at this "weapon"!

Oh, my God!

Why didn't they tell us that it is gold?

They are not such fools as to say such things.

If I knew I wouldn't have joined the squad.

To be safe and sound.

I want to live.

Right you are, Sviridov.

And your friend doesn't want to live.

Don't commit a sin!

Commander!

I warned you all, idiots!

I will kill you if you open the box.

Stop, being foolish and put the knife on the ground.

Slowly.

Put it back.

I repeat once again!

Repeat for those who didn’t hear me first time.

It's the property of the Republic!

Go away!

Here you are.

Thank you.

Have a nice day!

- Good afternoon, my lady. - Good afternoon.

I can't have a talk. I'm in a hurry for my friend's party.

I hope you will have a nice time there.

- I will say hello from you. - Don't forget it!

Everything will be hidden under the bench. It is in the alley leading to the cliff.

It is close to the rock.

I am responsible for the guards.

- I will help you to come down, but... - Everything will be OK.

If anything goes wrong

I will see everything.

All the alleys are observed.

Good luck!

Damn it!

Where should I put it?

Elle!

- I am here! - Hello, Varya!

We are late!

Don't worry it's only one minute.

- Put it in the next carriage. - I see.

What a box!

- What's in it? - It's a surprise!

You are so mysterious, Elle.

Thank you, so much.

Volodya, can't escort us. They have problems at the office.

Don't worry we know the road. We can cope with it.

- You can go. - Thank you!

- My pleasure. - Thanks!

Mister! We can go!

Let's go!

I love the smell of pastry!

It's the smell of happiness.

Listen, Gypsy!

When we berth you go back turn the corner and stop the engine.

You must be ready any minute!

Don't worry I know my job! I'll do my best!

You know how to steal horses!

You'd better go and check everything.

We are like a target here.

Yasha, when you step on the ground we will sail closer to the rocks.

You will be all alone.

Nobody can do it better than you.

- It's not true! - Yes it is!

You can't chase me!

I can!

I am so sorry that even childhood is not always happy.

But it is the best time of your life!

Only a very thoughtful person can say so.

No, I am just too sensitive!

It's not bad.

I know it's my drawback.

No, it's a virtue!

Hello, ladies!

Elle Ferrari, if you don't mind

come with me for a few minutes.

What are you talking about! We haven’t even come in yet!

Don't worry, Varya!

Don't give the present without me.

Thank you.

Thank you for cooperating.

I hope you understand that we have to check the present.

It's up to you.

Oh, is that you foolish guy!

Yes, it's me.

Let's do it quickly so no one sees us. I am scared.

If you are scared, why did you come?

I am in love with money.

Did you bring the money?

Show it first.

Look!

You promised to bring two!

You will get a quarter of the money!

- Say it again! - I said quarter.

It was practically impossible to come here.

It is not as easy as pie. Hands off!

Stop it!

OK, I see.

But I won't pay for two.

Very well, for one and a half.

- I want to taste it. - First, the money, then vodka.

Take it!

It's good.

Where are you taking me?

Is it a kidnapping?

Excuse me, once again. It's my duty.

What a spectacular view!

What is the problem?

All new guests at this house are inspected on their first visit.

It's a usual practice. It's a formality.

Please, go behind the curtain and raise your arms.

It's beyond your authority!

Do you imagine that I would let a man touch me?

It's humiliating for a lady.

It's unforgettable for a gentleman.

Don't worry.

A woman will do it.

And accept our apologies once again.

It is unbelievable!

Do you understand what you are doing?

These actions are illegal!

I will make a complaint!

What a mess!

I'm so sorry Elle!

This stupid illegal procedure!

There was no need to do it with you.

I show my patience just because I respect this house.

I completely understand you.

Our job is disgraceful.

People are never satisfied with us.

Let me personally escort you to the guests.

I am fed up with your attention today.

Please, let me find the exit by myself.

Yes, of course.

- I can't delay you. - Thank you!

What a woman!

But I will show more of my attention.

I had to give the present to Peter.

I couldn't make him wait, sorry.

You're a good girl, Varya. Well done.

He was so happy.

I am very glad.

Olga Mikhailovna!

Let me introduce you

Elle Ferrari.

She is a poet, my friend and little Peter’s saviour.

I don't have words to show my gratitude my dear!

If I can write poems I will write you a book.

Thank you!

For all your poems and for Peter, as well.

Oh, that's nothing.

I am happy to be here, I didn't expect to be invited.

- Welcome! - Thank you!

Peter Nikolaevich!

Let me introduce you to Elle Ferrari herself!

Varya, I am sorry Peter Nikolavich is busy now.

Don't worry, Volodya I wrote everything.

I am not sure that it's enough.

I must think it over.

Varya has told me a lot about you.

And I want to thank you in person for finding Peter.

I am delighted to meet you, Peter Nikolaevich.

Thank you.

I must confess I haven't read all of them but at least I started.

You are so busy, it's a miracle!

And men are not so

interested in poetry as women are.

My congratulations on your son's birthday.

Thank you.

Let's drink champagne, dear ladies!

Let's drink to this beautiful day.

Life is short.

And moments of happiness are precious. Don't miss them!

I have an idea!

What if Elle were to write a poem about you?

It would be wonderful!

I'm flattered, Varya.

It is most unexpected I should say.

Peter Nikolaevich, it will lift the soldiers' spirit up!

That is the main purpose of art!

Is it true?

Varya, my darling

we are leaving Crimea.

There is no need to write about me.

We live in an age of changes and disturbances.

You need to write about that.

Who and how

for what purpose will people describe our time?

What will future generations know about it?

If you feel responsibility

for your poems then

you must try to do it.

Well, it is a very serious discussion.

It's a very important discussion.

I really want to talk about it.

You see Peter Nikolaevich

only great people can experience great disturbances.

In our normal lives

it is a tragedy.

But if we speak about art

it is the basis for a story.

Come on.

Stop it.

Stop crying.

We will return and win.

We will never surrender.

Volodya!

Dear ladies let's have a drink.

No more pretentious and sad speeches.

To our children!

Hooray! Hooray!

To the future!

- To Peter! - To him!

Oh, my dear children!

I know you've been searched.

I am sorry.

I wanted to make an exception, but, unfortunately...

It's nothing, don't worry about it.

Come on.

Peter Nikolaevich has been attacked several times.

So we have to do that.

I understand, trust me.

I do. And thank you.

Well, Gayev

has recently searched Countess

Lanskya.

It was a great embarrassment.

What a shame!

Was it necessary?

Last year she tried to shoot herself.

And he thought that she brought a weapon here?

I want to suggest that we go for a walk together

Children!

I mean when we are going to leave.

I am ashamed of saying such things.

Do you want to undermine me again?

Yes, I understand

there are no interesting offers from me.

I am always ready to be nearby.

Volodya, you are a very good person.

Indeed.

And I am sure you are a great officer.

But I am just an ordinary poetess.

Believe me and don't argue.

I will shine brightly

and disappear into oblivion.

The best thing I can do for you is

to be envious of the woman who will make you happy.

You really deserve it.

Forgive me and don't be angry.

I am sorry.

- Excuse me. - I am sorry as well.

I wanted to ask for your professional advice.

I will try to do my best.

You have such a beautiful garden.

Let us go for a walk.

You can show it to me.

What do you want to see?

I don't know.

Maybe let's go to a place where we can see the sea.

Let's go there is a wonderful view.

- Ladies first. - Thank you.

Gypsy! What are you doing?

Stop it!

It is so noisy! They will hear us!

I just want to check it.

Oh, yes...

How is she?

It is not jumping over a fire.

You must have skills to do it.

Or you will be dead.

Stop shaking like a leaf!

She came through the war.

My brother-in-law served in the army with her.

She hit the target from twenty steps every time.

Every time?

What a woman!

Have you ever lost?

A game of chess for example?

Unfortunately, I have.

That's good.

And I have never lost.

But I have lost in life.

The life of my country

my people and my family.

I have never experienced the feeling as a loser.

He feels powerlessness.

Real sorrow is ugly.

I wrote my own speech

about the evacuation.

Well, I have never

written such things.

It is very difficult.

It's too hard.

Words are heavier than metal.

I am suffering inside.

I don't want to pronounce a single word from it.

But we can't stay here anymore.

It means death.

People are dying in the mud.

We have no support and it won't come.

Many people will die.

Everybody will die.

I can't allow it to happen.

I can't.

I will be very grateful to you

if you say these words.

I ask you in front of God.

You will do this better, I am sure.

You are a sincere and gifted woman.

It is like an execution for me.

I understand you.

Daddy!

- Daddy! - Peter, my boy!

Why did you leave the guests? It's not polite!

I can see Moscow.

It's his favorite place.

He says you can see not just Moscow but also our future from here!

You are so heavy, my dear.

I will try to help you.

We all will be very grateful to you.

Let's go inside.

A cold wind blows from the sea.

Have you tried the marzipan candies?

I forgot!

Come quickly!

Yasha!

How did it go?

The plan is failed.

It failed completely.

Something went wrong.

Completely wrong.

Peter, do you like the present?

- Yes. - What did Elle Ferrari give you?

A white yacht.

Just like ours?

- No, a bigger one. - Bigger?

We've got a yacht named “Lucullus.”

Peter and I invite you on board.

I will be meeting the English Consul soon.

I am honored. It is very kind of you.

Marzipan! Marzipan!

Maybe it is his last birthday here.

I think Peter will see Moscow.

It will be at the same place as always.

You can write historical poems.

History writes itself.

Whether we want it or not.

What?

What the hell happened?

It was the right thing to do.

You were so close to him!

We've prepared everything!

We could have rescued you!

I said it was the right thing to do.

Are you kidding? I was there!

I saw everything!

There was a pistol right next to you!

There was nothing to disturb you!

You showed mercy to an enemy!

Do you want to kill me?

Just do it.

Kill me.
