A film by Nikita Mikhalkov

BURNT BY THE SUN 2

When I was little,

Mom gave me a piece of bread

she baked herself.

It was the best tasting covered with butter...

and, oh yeah... with jam on top.

It was something delicious. A masterpiece.

Oh... an insect.

I enjoyed a looking at how the jam melted...

and I suffered... I stared for a long time... at those goodies...

and I suffered... strengthening my will.

Well, Semyon?

So have you ever eaten this sandwich?

Klim, Klim you eat it.

Why me? Say, Semyon ask yourself.

- Klim! - Yes?

You eat, right?

You have no idea of such delicious things.

Well... Marusia?

Am I right, huh?

And we have for you...

What?

Comrade Stalin, please forgive me...

we have prepared something for you...

a gift... a surprise.

- Can we...? - Why do you ask me?

I'm a guest here and you're the host. A surprise is a surprise.

Thank you.

Come, come!

Get a move on guys, faster... faster!

Yes... come on, come on, boys!

What a splendor!

Come join us!

Well... take it.

Together, we will eat Comrade Stalin. Come on, Semyon.

Oh... what, you don't want to eat Comrade Stalin?

Give me the knife.

Oh... what a wonderful smell!

A beautiful smell.

And it smells so wonderful.

Kotov!

Nadia.

Nadia! Kotov, who is Nadia? Kotov, stop it!

What is to come...

- Hey, what is that? - Kotov is screaming again!

Nadia!

- Hey, shut his mouth! - Quiet, quiet, what is it?

- What? Can't you calm down an old man? - The same nightmare?

Well now... well, well. Sit here, sit down.

I did not want, did not want to...

I did not want to...

Here drink some water.

Wake up... goons!

Wake up, wake up!

Everyone convicted of Article 58, except Kotov, must go to the sawmill!

- Everyone else in the square! - Why not Kotov, where should I go?

I'll repeat once again for the deaf!

All convicted of Article 58 to the sawmill, except Kotov!

The rest to the square! How many times do I have to repeat?

What article? Over to the square!

- Which article? - 58. Now, to the sawmill! Move!

- What article? - 58. Come on, come on, to the mill!

- Vasya, Vasya, take the kitten. - Leave the cat there!

Take them, you hear screams.

Article 58 - all to the mill!

The rest of their belongings to the square!

It's just a dream, damn dream.

Listen...

Listen... listen up!

I'm also in Article 58, I have to go with them.

- Go on prisoner! - I have an Article 58!

See.

- Is that you, Kotov? Sergei Petrovich? - Yes.

Your Article 58 was re-examined and they changed you to 129, that's all.

And what is it? Wait, what is Article 129?

I don't know, after all it's need to know!

Maybe you know the Criminal Code?

- Tell me... - Go ask a criminal!

...criminal!

- But you're 58, where are you going? - They told me to go here.

Petrovich, what are you doing here? Aren't you a 58?

I told him that I'm a 58, and he said that I got moved to a 129.

I asked him what was an Article 129, I must know...

- Oh, Vanya... - What is this Article 129?

Why, I think it's "murder with aggravating circumstances."

What? What's this?

Nothing, nothing, I'm joking, ...I'll find out for sure.

- What is Article 129? - I don't know, I only know 142.

- What is Article 129? - What?

- 129. - I don't know, I have not heard.

Demian... Demian, what is this Article 129?

- 129? - Yes.

I don't remember.

Looting of state assets.

Looting of state assets.

Looting of state assets.

- Looting of state assets. - What?

But, they write what they want. Well, at least it's not murder.

What the hell, stealing? What, would I rob him of his spurs?

Comrade Captain!

Comrade Captain, to load 50 men we would need 12 trucks!

- Are the trucks there? - Sure, then they will go on foot.

...documents on those of Article 58?

- Go to the sawmill, the sawmill! - I understand.

Everyone attention!

Everyone attention!

Come on, come quickly to the center!

Why do you run like sheep? Let's find out why they had herded us here!

Come here, here! Stop!

Hold on, oh yeah, well.

- Are musicians coming! - Utyosov!

What is this, a party, bitches?

Once... one, two! Test microphone!

Attention!

June 22 - German Fascist invaders

without declaring war

have insidiously invaded our homeland.

I thought so!

We must immediately start the evacuation of prisoners.

War.

This is War, Vanya.

War! War!

Sit down... sit! Sit down and sit!

Listen, Vanya... leave everything...

hang on to your ass...

- Do what I do, understand? - Everybody sit down!

Sit! Everybody sit!

The evacuation will take place on foot!

The trucks are being used by our troops!

When you're told to go, you go, you don't go, you're shot! Understand?

I repeat...

whoever will not listen...

will be shot on site!

They will not leave anybody.

Enemies of the nation ride in prison trucks, and we have to go on foot?

Now, Vanya, now, follow me!

Personal Files

May 1943, Moscow, Kuncewo, Stalin's villa

- Colonel Arsentiev. - Hello, hello.

Yes?

Can I come in?

- Good morning, Comrade Arsentiev. - Hello, Comrade Supreme Commander.

Come in, come. Come here, come on.

All my life I dreamed of learning to play...

This piano was a gift from the Spanish communists.

Zhdanov played on it, they liked him,

...but Zhdanov

Zhdanov...

and you are a professional musician, try it and tell me if it's a good instrument.

Try, try.

It's a great instrument, Comrade Stalin.

It plays very nicely.

- What should I play? - Just play what you want.

But... I have not played in several years.

I think you still play better than me. Play.

The music is beautiful.

Tell me, please, comrade Arsentiev what do you know about Commander Kotov?

Comrade Stalin, the former Division Commander

in accordance with the order of June, 24 1941 was executed on

June 25 of the same year, at prison camp 5764,

because of ongoing fighting in that territory.

According to our information Kotov was not shot in '41.

Why did you stop? Please, play.

We received a note with the minutes of a meeting on April 27, 1941.

According to thisn'te, the article was changed from a political crime.

This document was found with the dead commander of the camp.

It is interesting, this document shows, that the matter concerning Kotov

at a special council meeting on June, 24 1941

There was no mention of such an event.

- Did you know anything about this document? - I did not know.

- Comrade Stalin... - No, no, play on, it's just talk, play, play.

Yes... how nice it sounds when you play.

- That is to say that you didn't know about it? - I did not know.

Well... Lavrenty?

Where was this document?

And what about the family?

But you knew his family, Comrade Arsentiev, eh?

Yes.

- That is... I lived in his house... - Sit, Sit. Sit... and play.

I lived in the house of Professor Sierpickiego, learned from his music.

Now we know...

But we are interested in Kotov's wife and daughter. Not his in-laws.

According to documents Kotov's wife and daughter died in another camp.

And it was true?

- Indeed, Comrade Stalin... - Quiet, quiet, Lavrenty, what have you!

That's it. And you play, play.

As far as we know... that's it. You had a personal relationship?

- Maybe... quite personal. - Yes, yes, yes.

That's understandable. That was good

...to know, and besides, it seems you made the arrest.

I remember?

Well, do you remember, Comrade Stalin?

Well... Comrade Arsentiev,

Damn right I do.

It seems that the Kotovs can't be considered dead.

No, Comrade Stalin.

You need to fix your errors... That is my opinion.

Yes, Comrade Stalin.

- Comrade Arsentiev... - Yes?

In the waiting room, there is a briefcase with instructions.

Please address this accordingly.

- Leave me. - Yes.

- By the way, Comrade Arsentiev... - Yes, Comrade Stalin?

Tell me what...

you think of Divisional Commander Kotov?

Comrade Stalin, do you want to know my opinion as a Chekist, or a man?

Man and Chekist are two different concepts?

Do you hear, Lavrenty?

So how?

Comrade Arsentiev, here is the key.

Please sign here.

Thank you.

Welcome to the briefing.

Pioneer Camp Pavlik Morozov JUNE 1941

Nadia Arsentiev and I,

in the team room, took in a businesslike discussion

on the topic: "Is it that Pioneer-Komsomolets, and even more, Pioneer-teams,

must respect the decision of the Soviet authorities,

even if it's directed against the physical Pioneer or Komsomol parents?

Nadia Arsentieva said that parents are always parents

and you should respect them and love them, regardless of the authority.

I opposed this. I said that parent-traitors

deserve a full and absolute Pioneer or Komsomol contempt.

Pioneer or Komsomolets, and even more Pioneer-team,

into the ranks of...

Pioneering or Komsomol organizations,

have only one parent: the Soviet homeland and the Bolshevik party.

Excuse me... but why am I reading this to you?

Thank you.

Continue, continue, though, what have you said to this Nadia Arsentieva?

Then Nadia Arsentieva told me

I really call her Nadia Kotov

a daughter of a convicted enemy of the nation,

former Division Commander Kotov

needed to renounce him during the ceremonial speech

on her acceptance into the ranks of the Communist Youth Union.

That's it?

Everything.

Even the date and signature: Luba Kawko.

You're very brave, Luba Kavko.

Luba... and your father?

Dad...

My biological father...

has been convicted under Article 58

Together with my mother we denounced him publicly.

Now, I wear the name of his mother.

Kavko.

The fabulous people.

You are from an exemplary family.

Now listen to me carefully.

We will make sure that Nadia Arsentieva is repremanded.

- Excuse me. - You need not to worry,

we will reward you.

- Me? - Sure.

Not long and you will be Komsomol.

And since you've successfully been through this trial...

we have decided to send you on a vacation...

a trip to pioneer camp "Artek"!

- Really? - Sure.

Here's my phone number...

call me tomorrow morning.

- Luba, Luba, Luba! - Yes?

I have only one request.

Yes, yes, yes, don't say anything, right?

I understand, comrade. 7-13-27!

You are a model, Luba Kavko.

I see... You like children.

I don't... I thought it was something terrible, and here...

our Nadia is a very smart girl.

I felt that this mystery, that it was a secret...

That's why I called you, She's such a daredevil... I think it's biological...

Yes, she is exemplary.

Well, well, well, yes she is. Our camp is also adjacent to the sea, so

It is true that at "Artek", the sand here is darker...

You are sending Kawko south, right?

And Nadia stays here with us at the Baltic.

The tailor... Anatoly Semyonovich, Article 58 Article 3 and 5,

10 years without the right to correspondence. It's your brother?

It's your brother?

What brother, what brother, he...

this half brother, I would... No he's an... enemy!

Comrade Arsentiev, Comrade Arsentiev, no, no...

...is an enemy, the worst of the worst.

- Your questionnaire has no word about it. - I don't consider him a brother,

so I did not write about it. The thought never occurred to me...

We had to write it?

- Such a trifle... - So do you think?

Comrade Arsentiev, you think I did it on purpose?

Intentionally?

I swear.

Nikitin, come to me!

Nadia.

What?

- You are now a grown girl. - So what?

And it's that adults are responsible for the acts they commit

and you must think before you do.

I'm responsible, and I think. - I understand.

You look like a gadabout, needing improvements all the time.

Well, go to your team.

- Nadia. - What?

You said your name's not Arsentieva. You told Kavko you had another, Kotov. Anyone else?

So is that why you came here?

- Yeah, I said it. And what of it? - I will not say.

I understand you completely

You are a model of fairness, you have rules.

First of all, I'm not yours, I'm responsible for myself, and secondly, what...

Go to the playground!

And secondly, what? Be honest and have principles, is that so wrong?

No, no, I think so, too.

From when you were a child, you didn't think about yourself.

As though we don't? Don't you understand that your best friend denounced you?

So, you spit on me.

But tell me, do you want to spit on your mother? After all it's why...

What?

That I don't want to denounce...

My father?

Quiet, quiet, Nadia, quietly.

You are trying to expose them, right?

Those that did not consider him an enemy? Exposing all the others?

- Nadia, quietly. - Okay.

Then let... let them also put me in prison. Or shoot me... while I'm there!

You are all lies, lies, and fear.

This way you can do anything that you want to. You come here as if nothing happened...

Well, doesn't your father care about you, too? Do you want to harm him?

How?

What? Tell me how it can hurt him, After all, he's dead!

He's alive?

Alive?

What's with Nadia?

She's okay.

- So she didn't want to come to the car? - No, she didn't want to.

These are Pioneers...

and are very busy.

Pioneers...

What are you.... what are you doing?

Do what?

What is that?

There. It's only ash.

Ash...

Ash...

Could it... persuade, force...

Sergei, had he lived, would not have allowed you to do something like that.

Tell me what the hell you're talking about?

- Don't allow yourself... - No, no.

- Had he lived, he'd be here somewhere! - Calm down, don't start.

We're going.

Oh, bad, bad...

June 26, 1941

Why are you silent?

I don't understand, they changed the article...

to theft of property?

Come on, why are you afraid. It's only a bumblebee.

I don't like them.

- And you, you're scared? - What, me?

Well... you're you and I'm me.

I wonder what I stole?

I guess only spurs, stirrups, and horseshoes.

But I got an Article 58. I was a political prisoner, and that's the worst crime.

What are you talking about? You know what awaits us now? Death.

Damn... escaping from the camp!

Now they'll shoot us. And I had only half a year left...

And if we don't get shot, we'll get five more years.

What do you mean, Vanya? Are you crazy?

What are you even talking about?

- The war started. - What war? Where, no where?

All around it's only silence, only bumblebees flying all over.

You know it: "If tomorrow would be war, today we are preparing for victory."

Our troops are probably already in Berlin.

But now what will become of me?

For God's sake, you escaped from the camp! It's over.

I succeeded, but, my loved ones have died in the camps,

and my mom and others will never see me.

And what do you suggest? Turn ourselves in to the authorities?

You'd be shot like the 58 Barracks, without a trial. All of them!

So what? You were in the 58, and I'm from another...

You think that's okay? I should of been there?

- You do, and I don't. - Vanya!

Is it okay that my lying grandma promised me bacon, then gave Kasha cabbage?

I then... there... no... all the shooting...

What would I not shoot? And she tells me that I...

Oh... you think I'm kidding.

I was looking at her and she was already eating porridge, and the cabbage...

- Who are they? - They're Germans, Vanya.

It seems we have not captured Berlin.

Everybody back! Stop crossing!

Back! I said - back!

I said - back! Don't panic!

Get back, get back! That is an order!

- I said - get back! - Go to hell!

I have orders from the the commander of the army! I said stop!

Stop, stop! The bridge is under my command! I've orders from the the commander!

You have to stop! I command you to stop!

Wow! Kadyrov, you saw it, eh?

What are you doing, eh?

- Kadyrov! - Women, Lieutenant!

- Kadyrov! - I am!

We have 23 minutes remaining, and four spans left.

And blow them up with what? So much is at stake for these women...

beautiful, young, and all our work is pointless...

- You can't remove them! - It's none of your business, Kadyrov, or mine.

Kadyrov, shut your ass up and help me.

- I don't talk out my ass. - Get it done!

Come here!

- Give me the charges! - Now, now!

We have an order - the bridge must be blown up at 15:00.

- What happened there? - Why are you sitting there?

Wait a minute! Son... start it, and keep going.

- That's it, the end of the ride. - How? Is that it?

We can't stop!

- Why the hell are you stopped there? - We have a very important cargo.

Hey, whore, we have an important cargo! I have a truck full of injured!

Get out of the road!

- Kadyrov, do you understand this order? - Yes, I do.

- Then shut up already. - Yes, Lieutenant!

- Kadyrov... watch what you're doing! - Excuse me, Lieutenant.

I'm going up top, you finish.

- Leave your binoculars. - Cool.

- You know what binoculars? - I know.

- That flag, you know? - I understand.

- Wave this flag, and it blows up. - I understand.

And where are we, eh? Where? Where did we drift?

Why do we suffer? It was better to be...

Vanya, Vanya, shut up, eh? I don't want to hear it.

Do you hear it?

What happened?

Burst radiator hose.

Move that thing out of the way!

- Clear out of the way! - Comrade... we have to cross.

- Guys, help us push it! - We have very important cargo.

Hey, guys! Help!

- Just a minute, wait a minute! - Hey, shove!

- Stand fast! - What are you doing?

Don't attack the bridge!

- It will be needed for our tanks. - I understand.

Don't you dare!

Don't you dare steal that money! It's state money!

Wait, wait!

.. 1,830,300 rubles, 90 kopecks.

Comrade, comrade, sign this protocol!

Go to hell!

Comrade soldier, comrade, soldier!

Comrade soldier, sign my loss!

What's happening?

This is war.

It's for us, Vanya, a chance to change our lives.

Stand clear! Stand fast! Stop!

The crossing is closed! The bridge is mined!

Run... run... Come on, run, woman!

Hey... I said it's closed!

The crossing is closed, go on its side, then pass.

- Have mercy, Lieutenant!! - I have orders from the Division Commander.

What orders? See how many people are here?!

The crossing is closed!

Stop!

Withdraw now! Withdraw! By orders of The Commander of the Army!

- Don't let anyone over the crossing! - What?

- Deserters shot on the spot! - Listen, you fucking cocksucker!

Were you there? Didn't you see the Germans, punk?

Then go to the shore and feast your eyes!

We'll take a look, as he waves his pop gun!

Talking to this coward is the same as to our commanders.

And you, a bullet in the chest will be your end!

You ready?

Let's go!

Pass through the zone and I'll shoot you!

Let's go!

I asked you a question! How do you talk to a Major?

Move! Let's go!

Excuse me, Major, but I'm in command and I have orders from the Commander.

- What Commander? Where is he? - Are you ready?

Go over him! What are you waiting for?

Bridge closed!

Do you hear what I'm saying? Do you understand what I'm saying?

Wave this flag and that bridge will blow!

- It's ordered! - There is no one there!

Red signal!

Stop, stop! Stop, you pig!

I'll kill you!

Stop!

You beast!

Did you do that, Klaus? I told you not to destroy the bridge!

It was not me, Max, we have troops on the bank.

So you did it! Blew up a bridge loaded with people!

- You fool! - I can't hear!

- Blew up a bridge with people! - No, damn it, I can't hear.

Look what you did, fool! See!

May 1943

- Good morning. - Good morning.

- Hello. - Let's Move.

- Where are we going? - To the front.

- In what sense? - Literally.

- Do you remember Commander Kotov? - And how.

- I have been ordered to find him. - And if you don't?

He's not your case... Well, not exactly.

Again, you're the commissioned one!

Not just me... Me and you.

- What am I to do? - Like what do you have to with it?

Who tried to kill him, me? No, no, you!

And your daughter knows nothing?

She knows nothing.

August 1941

Out of the road!

Out of the road, out of the road, let us through!

Hold hands, watch your feet.

Listen, are you from the country? I'm asking if you come from the country?

Where?

- On the other side of the world. - What?

You got it... what!

Is it so hard to answer? Hey, guys...

Careful with Comrade Stalin! Careful, careful!

Lord, have mercy...

Put it there.

Move on, give way!

Even those busts. All the busts will be here.

- Zinaido! - What?

- I want to make sure they're loaded. - You don't know where they came from.

And what should I be ashamed of? That's everything I took. Hold Sissy.

- Not porysowaliscie? - No, Zinaido Vasilyevna.

- Not uszkodziliscie? - No, no.

Just take a look, they're all the same.

I still have my coat, please hold my coat.

Comrades attention, please report all weapons,

leave all weapons at the door before you board. The weapon will be returned to all...

Comrade!

I have children from the camp. Do they also have to go?

There are a lot of people, it's suffocating, better go to the upper deck.

Kids!

Igor, I asked for the box! It's a Venetian crystal chandelier!

Well, how can this be? Why don't you listen to my requests?

- Are you crazy? - How am I crazy? And where is Sissy?

Give me Sissy! He has my Sissy!

Attention Comrades!

Attention Comrades, when boarding the boat, please hand over any weapons.

- Apparently he-- - I'm Tientiurin. Give up your weapons.

If you have weapons get back to the entrance.

- Zinaido Vasilyevna... - No, Igor, I don't want to hear anything!

What do they think of me in town? By the way, I'm well known here!

Get off that Red Cross!

Get off it!

It needs to be clearly visible from the air. Do you want to get us bombed?

Take each other's hands! Let me hand you my suitcase.

If you're not concerned with our affairs, I, of course...

- Zinaido Vasilyevna. - I will go... to my mother.

Are you done? Now, please listen to me.

We are riding with the busts on this boat.

And we didn't need to bring your personal belongings.

Crystal chandelier, I asked... Of Venetian glass,

I asked to put it in a box, and you wrapped it into a rag.

- Please bring water for me and Sissy. - This lady is too much!

- You have no heart! - Calm down.

- I don't want... - Calm down!

Igor, I wanted to tell you... Igor!

Don't pay attention to the provocations of hostile airmen!

Quiet!

Listen, listen!

This isn't the first transport, no need to worry.

Germans will not attack us, because we sail under the sign of the Red Cross!

Forget about your arms... you will get them back, when we port.

No one sit on the cross!

Let no one sit on it!

I hate having this cold!

You still feel bad?

Yes, bad.

Countryman... do you have any water?

I don't.

Here you go, but it's not cold.

Thank you.

- Thank you. - Let me help...

Leave it, leave it.

You don't need to help, you are nice, but, don't look.

- Willi! - Yes?

- There they are again! - Our target practice.

- Once again our friends sail with the Red Cross.

Welcome back!

Our target practice!

Shit, they're here!

This is what I warned you about, they only practice exercises!

The Germans will not bomb us, we sail under the Red Cross!

On my command... practice run!

Sit down, stay in place, it's okay. Sit down, everything'll be fine!

Nothing happened, Sit down, stay in your place.

Good luck, boys!

Willi, I'm already bored with these practice attacks.

What you suggest, old man? It's the Red Cross,

They're protected by the Convention, we don't have the right to attack.

Hey, what are you doing?

I'll shoot the enemy ship's captain.

Are you crazy?

And if you don't hit it?

We'll bet on it?

What?

A bottle of "Veuve Clicquot."

Okay, the bet stands!

Easy, easy,

they're coming but only carrying out exercises!

Goddamn you!

- Don't fly over the target, Lieutenant. - Excuse me, Mr. Captain.

- Please repeat the attack on our target! - Yes, sir, Captain!

- Hans, are you ready? - Going down, Willi!

We're going straight for the target. Prepare for the attack!

Please, be calm, they're just exercises, they're practice maneuvers!

What's with you, huh? Boys, sit down. Why does everybody keep standing up?

Countryman, what are you doing?

What happened?

Hans!

Goddamn it! This is it!

Hans!

No, no, no, no!

- Lieutenants, what's happening in your plane? - Hans has been killed!

We didn't attack them, and they killed Hans!

Lieutenant, back to base! - They killed him... they killed him!

I forbid you to make an attack!

Do you hear me, Lieutenant! It's an order!

They will pay for it!

Grass, what are you doing? Get back here!

Stop! This is a ship of the Red Cross!

Grass... damn idiot!

Now we have to kill everyone!

Did everyone hear me? Prepare to attack!

Attention! Attack!

God! Don't shoot!

That's all of them.

Return back to base. Too much fog.

Lieutenant Grass, go refuel your tanks and come back here

to clean up this shit, and finish what you started.

Yes, Captain! I'll do everything I need to.

I swear.

Hold on... hold on, sister. Don't worry, they won't get us.

Hold on.

It's just us two?

Are you baptized?

No.

Maybe I should baptize you.

What? But I'm a pioneer.

Who are you?

I'm a priest, Father Alexander.

Hold on, don't be afraid.

What's your name?

Kotov... Nadia.

Oh... you have a good name.

Nadia. Let me baptize you, my dear.

How is it possible? My father is a communist.

Well, well...

- He fights somewhere? I don't know.

- But he lives. - Alive... but will he yell at you?

He won't yell at me! What?

Where are you?

Where are you, pigs? Well, where...

You damned cockroaches. I know you're somewhere nearby.

Don't get us. Oh, Lord God...

Soon you'll get it! Charge!

I'll send you all to the bottom, pigs!

I'll show you!

I baptize you, Nadia, in the name of the Father...

and of the Son...

and the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

Kiss it...

Nadia.

And that's all...

Sister.

That's all. From now on, don't fear anything.

- Pray. - How do I pray? I don't know any prayers.

You know what? Just talk.

O Lord, I wish...

to be obedient to your will. You understand?

That's it.

May God bless you.

Close your eyes.

Father Alexander!

Father Alexander!

Here I am!

Help!

There's a girl on a mine, screaming!

- Mine, mine! - Zinaido, please go under the deck.

Sail, I said, we have to deliver the busts!

Help!

Here, here!

You are so hot.

Why are you hot?

- You are not ill, are you? - No.

- You sure? - Sure.

You have no idea how good I feel with you.

Is that true? Me, too.

With you, everything is calm...

...everything is easy.

Mine...

Mine... there is a beach!

Thank you, Mine.

There is the shore. Thank you.

And now swim.

Sail, Mine.

Well... swim.

Good-bye, Mine!

Igor, where are we?

Captain, where we sailing? I think we're going in circles.

Are we? We're sailing on instruments!

To Hell with the instruments? After all, they're just taking us in circles!

And we're carrying busts...

May 1943 "SMERSH" Headquarters

Just give them guns and send them to the front.

Don't record their names.

Who are you...

Kruglov, Andrei Borisovich.

Kruglov...

- When I was returning from my sister's-- - Pushkin...

- About 5 miles. - Alexander Sergeyevich.

- Is seriously ill. - Born June 6...

- Two days later the Germans came. - 1799.

I heard about the advance.

- When they were 100 km from the village. - I, Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin...

- I admit that... - I just stayed.

- I... shot... - Under the occupation.

- I have lived in peace. - Unregistered weapons.

I had to, of course, work for these reptiles.

- I chopped wood. - Mr. George d'Antes.

- But I have a family... - God, how was that?

- Wife, children, mother. - George d'Antes.

My father died before the war. - He was turned in by my wife...

For having sympathy for the partisans...

Natasha.

But then they were not with us.

- He was shot in the stomach and died. - What else?

Enough already, sir...

Comrade Captain, My name is Andrei Borisovich Kruglov!

Yes, yes...

The war for the liberation of your country, unfortunately, is still not over.

Now, you are charged and will have to serve your country.

Happily.

Comrade Captain, he is here...

Colonel Arsentiev, Central Command.

Well, you can go.

I telephoned you.

I remember.

- Why not sit down. - Thank you.

I'm interested in former Division Commander Kotov.

And why is that?

- Why do they keep us under wraps? - What do they want?

Devil knows. He asked how I got into the occupation.

- He doesn't ask names. - For me it's the other way, writing...

- What could he write? - Why keep us here as prisoners?

Why are you surprised? They've got us because it's Smersh.

He was wounded twice, which gave me the right

to write an application to transfer him from the penal company to a battle unit.

- Then why was he not moved? - Refused.

- Comrade Colonel, we are there... - I see, I see.

- For what reason? - He refused.

You don't want to leave, your comrades in arms.

That is what motivated the refusal.

And what kind of comrades in arms?

One, is a former major, the second is a condemned man, and an engineer.

After the period expired...

Hey! Kids!

Get out of here, scram!

Excuse me, Comrade Colonel. Children...

Please continue, sir.

Like I said, his sentence in the penal company expired.

And in accordance with the law, he was moved to a combat unit.

And what?

But he refused, stating the same reason.

- When was it? - In 1941.

- In October. - In October?

Yes, in October.

October 1941

Yes! In accordance with the order.... this is...

no... I say that consolidating positions.

In a pioneer camp. My men found it.

We're strengthening. Commander, and if Germans attack us?

A... how... how do--

I understand. Yes, Comrade Division Captain... yes, Comrade Division Captain!

Goodbye.

Organize defenses and keep the enemy at this point.

Where you going, you idiot?

Okay, come on!

For the German-fascist aggressor, single - fire!

Put away your weapon, you idiot! There are people.

But it's not loaded.

This isn't a practice weapon. It's a firearm!

It's a Mosin repeater rifle.

A projectile speed of 1200 meters per second.

The target effectiveness of 800m.

The destructive effectiveness of 1000m.

- That's something! - That's it?

- Kacytacy! - What?

What's so damn important?

- We're going to the front! To the front! - Look at him! The wise guy...

- What? - Stop kidding around.

Guran is right, we're going to the front. To war.

Hey, what about you? Are you afraid or what?

What did you say? Scared?

I'll kill those reptiles with bare hands!

My older brother has fought at the Wacho front since day one!

He's a tank commander!

- Wait, how long has he been fighting? - In December, it'll be half a year.

Wachtan is the commander, see? I'm telling you, that is the commander!

- What? - Come on.

Listen, guys, listen.

It is a German I have under my feet, I have them under boots.

Not bad... and what's next?

I don't go any further, it's a silly rhyme.

- Piles, railing! - Keys, keys!

Keys! I don't know, try.

Why do you need so many keys?

Here are my keys a new apartment in Minsk.

Previously lived in one room, and now they gave us an apartment.

This is from the front door...

this long one... my Father's from a French castle

given to me when I was on leave in the spring.

This is the room we have,

and this goes in little drawers in my desk.

Minsk. Gorky 9 Building 7, Flat No 17.

Yes.

German's have long occupied Minsk. Maybe they took your home?

No offense, but since you mentioned it, They burned your village.

- Yes, that is what I have been told. - Wait, my village?

They burned my village?

Kacata burned a village, not mine!

I believe my house survived.

I have the keys with me, so my house was saved.

Think before you speak, Sazo!

- What did I say? - Nothing!

- What have I said? - Think first!

Enough, enough!

- I do think... - Guys, enough, come on.

Come on, Sow, begin.

- No. After all, he started it. - Come on, don't get angry.

Okay, Sow, start, come on!

- Okay... - Forget everything, here we go!

Remember! You are not Red Army soldiers!

Abandoning your troops, fleeing the enemy...

you are now mud, shit... nothing.

Well, what's dragging? Now, now! Come on, move!

Great Chief of the Soviet people...

Commander in Chief, Comrade Joseph Stalin...

In the back... return!

Great Leader of the Soviet people, Commander-in-chief

Comrade Joseph Stalin...

And you, are you going fishing? Going to play volleyball?

I don't... why did you take the net? There's a bust of Lenin you could take it.

Yes... guided by the principles of wise socialist humanism

About face!

Scum, deserters, bandits, who deserve only to be shot...

you scum, deserters, bandits...

About face!

Who deserve to be shot. The possibility of shedding blood for redemption...

by joining the ranks of the Red Army!

- Wounds received in battle... - What is this shit?

There lay.

And what is it?

I... this... this...

- Wounds received in battle... - Yes, the wounds received in battle, means

that you are aware of your guilt and deserve to be forgiven.

What are you carrying there? Come on! Get to your new life, go forth!

As dead flies!

George... what... what are you doing??

- What do you have on you. - Is that a door?

Well... if I run, it's there...

I'm running to the front with a rifle, I have a door at the rear,

to stop all the bullets.

It's something I've come up with.

Not a bad idea!

A wound received in the back means that you showed you are a coward

and deserve only one thing: a bullet in the head!

Come, soldier, don't be afraid. Come on, show me, what have you got.

And don't be ashamed. Too hard?

- It's hard... - Did you take the chamber, yet?

What the... it's not working.

Ruined?

Could you take the chamber? And the pioneers with him....

Get lost!

- Chalturnicy, spongers, dogs! - Take your shoe.

Fireworks in honor of the 20th anniversary of the III Congress of Comintern.

And what... canned?

- Get rid of the cigarette! - Okay, okay.

It's fireworks. It's fireworks, I said.

Watch the cigarette. It says: "Fireworks"

Don't move!

..III Congress of the Comintern.

What have brought here?

- Well, I'm a sweeper. - We know you're a minesweeper.

Leave me alone and go digging.

Minesweeper, damn...

What do you... go away!

- Where do I find them? - Where... there.

- Hold on, look. - Will be good for the summer.

- You have a smaller size? - What?

I asked if you had a smaller size, it's like a ski.

- What size? - 39.

What?

- 39? - Yes, 39.

39 - The boy has a damn fever.

Yes...

Yes...

Are there any questions?

Enough of telling us fairy tales.

- Give me a gun, after all I'm a Captain in the Red Army. - What?

Who is Captain in the Red Army? You?

The Captain leads his Red Army Soldiers! And where are your soldiers?

Lost them? A weapon? Where is your weapon?

Thrown away, you bastard! You are shit, and not a commander, you understand me?

My teeth tear the enemy!

Captain of the Red Army!

Are there any questions? There are no questions.

To the right... turn!

To the trench, reptiles, forward march!

George... come here! Jura!

Come here!

Listen, there...

- In the camp? - Yes.

What is it?

To the left... march!

First platoon... in place!

Stop singing!

Stop!

Eyes right!

Attention!

Right... face!

Ease... weapons!

At ease!

Lieutenant! Come here.

What is this?

A circus?

There's a Senior Lieutenant standing before you. What do you do?

Start over. Please come back and approach correctly.

Comrade Captain, Lieutenant Izumow reporting as ordered.

Yeah. At ease.

And now I'll let you submit a report. In turn:

first, second and third.

Yes, report one after another!

First:

I don't care of your rank!

Second:

my command was appointed Divisional Command of this post.

So, all the newly arrived troops, with their commanders, are under my command.

And thirdly, who are you?

I?

You, you!

I'm the commander of the Kremlin's students!

Before you is a flower of the nation! 183 cm tall!

Before you stands an elite Red Army Senior Lieutenant!

What the hell just happened here zjawiles? 183 cm, the elite Red Army!

What do I do with your elite?

This isn't Red Square, there'll be no parades.

What do I do with your elite? Oh, look at him, look.

183 cm!

Maybe he'll have to dig trenches now... huh?

No, it's better to have sent this to me... Lilliputians... Lilliputians of the circus.

183 cm! No, no!

I need moles and snakes to burrow and crawl...

not the elite Red Army!

Look at these - don't lose their shame, and they also have nothing to lose.

What will you do with your elite... what?

We have here a war, you may have heard about it? Didn't the Kremlin explain that to you?

Enough, senior Lieutenant, you don't scare me.

- You will see us in battle... - What battle?

What battle, Captain?

Pray that your elite doesn't run away

and shit their underpants, when the Germans attack us, you understand.

Well, Lieutenant...

We'll talk differently, when I contact division commander, now show me our line.

Please, this is it.

Kremlin student next to a prisoner? I'll remember this.

You'll have to remember there are many, sir. They're necessary for our lives, you know?

What... what have you done? What were you doing?

What just happened?

Who?

Who did it?

Comrade Lieutenant, it was fireworks to celebrate the arrival of the Kremlin elite!

Oh, you devils!

What about you elite?

Well, fuck. It was just fireworks, and not an attack! What'll you do then?

- Elite Comrade Captain? - What?

You will provide them with instructions, or...

- Oh... do l have to do it? - Yes, of course.

Yes... company of students!

Your line of defense is here, in this trench.

Maybe the Germans will attack us maybe not.

The main thing is to be vigilant.

Don't open fire without my order and don't get out of the trench.

Whoever first sees an enemy, keep quiet, quietly communicate it to your comrades.

Think about everything I said. Well...

maintain defensive positions in the trench.

Shoulder your weapon!

Eyes right!

Attention!

Take up positions in the trench.

Soldier, did they mention this?

- Give me a gun, and I'll give you a shovel. - What?

- Look, take the shovel. - No, I can't.

- Why do you need a rifle, so you can die? - Why would I die?

Listen, soldier... wait, wait.

Give me the gun, and I will give you the shovel.

No, no, no... I like it.

Why do you need a rifle? So you can die.

Hey, soldier, come here!

- Come on, Sazon. - Wait!

Give me the gun, and I will give you the shovel. Why do you want it, so you can die?

- The fireworks scared the shit out of me. - That's nothing, wait 'til an attack.

Sazonov!

- You see Sazonov? - No, maybe he's over there

You know, this game is...

- It's called "rhymes." - What?

Give me a rhyme, for example, a "bad - his", "I could - I took"

and I'll put them in a poem.

For example:

Forgive the poor drowning in sorrow, enjoy the sun I could not,

forgive it that, in his life, as I took your other frequently.

Come here.

You can do it with that?

- What's your shoe size? - 41.

Oh, this is a 41.

Spoil yourself as much as you can. No one else has used them. What?

Take a pair... pair. For the mother in law... or someone...

They'll will run behind you and say: go back to the front and get more of these.

- Excuse me! - Wait.

- I'm sorry. - Now, now, now.

We can go?

Good morning, may I sit?

Oh, ho... good morning.

A ZIS-2... a new gun!

That old cannon looks like new!

Sorry.

Punch capacity decreases proportionally to the square of the distance from the target.

It's beautiful!

You read it here on the cannon?

No, I'm a top student.

A... top student?

- And you have a light, Primus? - I don't smoke.

Is this is what you do, Primus?

- Well, again, what do you want? - My platoon is on the other side.

- Let us by... - Excuse me.

Good morning. Hi!

- You have fought before? - I fought.

- Where? - In the war... as well as three others.

- And what did you rate? - General.

General?

And what kind of troops?

German, Japanese and English.

Oh, lad!

Your companion is a dick it seems?

Oh, I can not!

- Is it tea? - Tea.

- Can I try it? - Try it.

- Wait, we're here somewhere... - Yes, we are here, here.

And if they go that way, from Lipina...

Okay, once again, if you go from Lipina... no, the Kirov...

- But if you're here, it's your ass. - Is that prayer?

Yes.

- Pray for who? - Well, here, for who knows...

- What? - What, why? Prepare, prepare.

What?

The defense of the borders of our homeland. Command division commander.

- Command division commander? - What do you mean?

- Division commanded us to pray? - Don't pay any attention, so here it is.

Hey... have a little smoke.

Smoke, smoke, it clears the head.

Look here, but if you go from Lipina...

- Tartar? - Yes.

I'm the son of a Mullah who was shot.

Let us pray to Allah before the fight.

And now repeat after me.

Minsk. Gorky 9, Building 7, Flat No 17.

Minsk. Gorky 9, Building 7, Flat No 17.

Minsk. Gorky 9, Building 7, Flat No 17.

- Who was shooting? - What have I done?

Who shot the sheep? After I said don't shoot without a command!

You shot a sheep! You shitty Elite!

Reprimanded!

Why a citation?

- The first shot knocked a cow. - Beef!

- Come on. - Elite!

Quiet!

What is it?

- Oh... it's only tanks? - Tanks.

- Tanks. - What tanks?

From there, there.

Ours?

- On our side, from Moscow! - These are our tanks!

I said that my brother was a tank commander!

Come on, our tanks!

Hey... it's ours!

It's our guys!

My brother, you guys, is the commander of a tank!

Is this a new model? Open the hatch!

Germans! Germans! Germans!

Germans! Stop!

It's the Germans, guys!

Turn it!

Faster, faster guys!

Stop, stop, stop!

Come back, fool!

Germans!

Germans!

- Germans? - Yeah it is!

Elite, listen to me! Get to your feet. Stop those tanks!

Load up, load!

Fall in!

Anti rounds, not smoke!

- Charge! Aim for the tanks! - Finished!

Aim above... aim higher!

It should be under the turret, there is no armor! Shoot, shoot, my dear!

- You ready? - Yes!

Fire!

- Jeest! A hit! - Cartridge... cartridge!

Oh, God, God!

Whore!

In the first days of war, chaos reigned. No one really knew what was happening.

Penal Battalion mixed with a Company of Kremlin students...

with Germans attacking them from the rear. In short - it was a slaughter.

Listen, sir, I'm not interested in chronicling the events of war.

I'm only interested in the fate of Kotov.

Sorry. Comrade Colonel, maybe?

- I can not. - I understand, only tea.

What happened next?

Brothers!

Brothers, help! Help, my brothers!

Brothers, help.

Thank you... thank you.

Thank you... thank you.

- George! - Jurok?

George!

- George! - Jurok, is that you?

Wait, Jurok.

- What's wrong with you? - I can't get out, I can't!

- It hurts, it hurts! - Wait, I'll be back soon.

- Wait, wait. - Do something.

Where is everyone?

Jurok, right!

- George don't leave, where are you going?! - Wait, wait, Jurok!

Wait, Jurok, wait!

Well... hurry, damn it!

Wait, Jurok, wait.

Another!

Wait no, wait, wait, move.

Well... now try!

I can't... can't... lift it.

George!

What are you doing?

What are you doing, tell me? Please, tell me what are you doing, please.

Hold on.

- One second... - Release me, Father! George!

Now... Jurok, come on!

Come on, come on, come on, Jurok!

Hold on, George, hold on!

My boy...

Jurok, the door saved you. Look there.

Look... look. The hole.

The door saved you, see, the door saved you...

Shut up...

- Come on. - George... I'm hurt!

- You don't need it. - Comrade... Lieutenant, come on!

Wait no, wait.

I said go away! Go away, go away, go away, go away!

Where is our... Captain? Where the commander of the elite?

- It was only his half. - Wait, wait...

- Half, in what sense? - In the literal sense.

- The captain was in half. - My... we...

found him, and he... he, he did not have half of his body.

Now, now, quickly...

Leave, leave, I said leave!

Wait a minute... how many are left?

How can we... with only so many?

Where are the rest?

Your mother... 240 kids!

Height 183 cm and straight into the tanks. And where are our tanks?

Where are our red hawks?

Where's our pilot-heroes? Where are those motherfuckers?

Where are the planes? Where are they?

Oh, you...

Oh, you, where are the guns, where mortars, gunners...

I had to perform the orders of Stalin with a gun and four bullets...

Motherfucker, gave me shovels instead of guns!

I had orders from the Division Commander to stop the enemy.

It didn't work out, Comrade Division Captain, we could not, Comrade Stalin.

You... 240 people, children, boys,

and German tanks squished them like caterpillars... in only 15 minutes!

Are there anyone in the Kremlin who knows how to kill the Germans?

Stalin...

What? What fool told you that?

You said, comrade Lieutenant.

What do you need?

- Gentlemen, bring me something to drink. - The end is coming, soon.

Water... give me water.

As soon as you pour.

Go...

Go get more water.

- Airplane! - Airplane, hide!

Ivan, I'm coming, I'll be right there

What's next, Captain?

I have a record of the interview by SMERSH, after that, there isn't a thing.

It's nothing special, just interrogations. They're confidential.

He sat in jail a week until he joined the new penal battalion.

The composition of this battalion fought until 1942.

- My wife is very fond of this song. - Tango.

Tango.

And yes, the truth, the tango.

You're better not to sing it.

- You know, the wife does not like how I sing... - Captain, I feel that you are hiding something.

No, not at all...

in 1941, tried to learn something about the fate of his daughter.

- You know that he had a daughter? - Is that all?

I don't care about his family situation.

I heard about this on the basis of denunciation.

- And yet it did not disturb him. - Why?

He had a criminal article that didn't ban correspondence.

He had the right to address a formal request and get an official response.

- What was the answer? - His daughter is considered gone without a trace.

August 1941

Look, a well!

As soon as you catch up!

It's quiet, not a living soul. Where has everybody gone?

It's hot.

This water's good! Cold as ice!

Klaus, fill my canteen.

- Give me your soap? - Yes.

- What is going on, Jurgen? - I don't know.

- What is it? - I don't know.

Now the horses belong to the Wehrmacht.

Back off now! Leave me alone!

- We have a license! - I don't understand.

- Look, we have a license! - You have documents!

A permit to have horses.

Please let us keep them, and we will sing for you.

They're Gypsies.

Back off me!

Why?

What did you do?

Why are you staring at me like that?

They were looting!

They're Gypsies!

And you? Are you the SS?

Go to hell!

I've had enough of this lunatic!

- Klaus, where are you going? - I don't want to see anymore!

- Otto, and you? Where are you going? - Give me a break!

Please don't kill me.

What?

Good morning, good morning.

Comrades, open up!

Please, open, open!

Comrades, open up! Open, comrades, open up!

Hello...

Otto!

Do I have to lug all this water?

Where are you?

What are you doing?

Otto... Jurgen!

You here?

Otto... where are you?

It's silly to quarrel with Gypsies.

Where are you?

Stop joking around, guys.

Enough fun.

Dinner is ready.

Guys, let's go.

Quickly, here! Quick, quick, back!

Go!

Come this way.

Run there. To the top.

Everybody get out! Round everyone up!

Search the buildings!

Yeah!

- Look how many of them there are! - Who, Germans?

No, the local population.

After running around, I tapped and no one opened up.

Why push them there?

They want to know who killed those Germans.

What will they do to them?

Nothing good.

- You have to do something. - What can you do?

But they're innocent, they didn't kill the Germans.

And who killed them... you?

Me?

Sit there and shut up.

Shut up!

Someone must answer for it.

Who did it?

If no one admits everyone will answer for it.

Just kill them all!

Listen, you dumb Pioneer! What do you want?

If I went there, I'd be executed for saving your life!

I killed at least two, what will they do?

Three got me... do you hear?

Three of them! They held me down and raped me...

And those people just hid in the corners, like mice.

Would you open the door to help a stranger? Well, tell me, would you?

What would have happened if I weren't there? Did anyone open the door? Did they help?

What do you want? For me to go down there? For them?

You want me to suffer, right? God wants me to suffer?

Punish the innocent, and make us suffer forever?

Hey! I'm coming too!

Hey... wait!

Wait!

Why did you stop me, it's what you wanted!

Let me go down there, let me go!

What... what are they doing? What's with the water?

I don't know, maybe it's gasoline.

They're going to burn them?

Fire!

Stop it, bastards!

Stop, stop!

Hold on, stop!

Listen to me!

You're wearing a cross, so you're a believer?

- Do you believe in God? - How do I live?

You are baptized, right? If you believe, then right now is His will,

he doesn't want our death.

He doesn't want our death!

Calm down, already. Be calm, calm, calm...

This isn't the time, it's not our time!

I know, I know... I know...

I know that He saved me... That I... found him...

the only thing left to me, is to find my father... Papa.

- I know, I know, I know... - What, what?

If I found my father... my father... Papa...

So let me live, Father...

You don't how good I feel when I'm with you...

Oh, is that true? Me, too.

With you everything is calm...

everything is easy.

I love you.

I don't understand, sir...

May 1943, the liberated territories "SMERSH"

I knew who he was, and I knew the Kotov in the article.

Really?

- Stop torturing the instrument. - Yes, of course, Comrade Colonel.

Why is it surprising that Commander Kotov, a highly decorated war hero?

His image was on a candy. My wife is very fond of...

- Captain... - Excuse me, she liked those chocolates.

She was killed a week ago.

Article 58 rather than a prisoner?

That means that someone from Central Machinery carefully watched his fate.

Yes, yes, yes, yes...

- No. - Well, I understand... but don't quote me.

In 1941, I offered to transfer him, but he refused.

In spring of 1942, he, along with other soldiers, caught a very important German,

They demonstrated bravery and courage. I was obliged to demand amnesty for him,

and transfer him to a combat unit.

And when he refused again, I was forced to request clarification in writing.

I'll show you, Comrade Colonel.

"I, Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin, I admit that..."

Comrade Colonel, Comrade Colonel, please, this...

- Here it is. - Yes, wait... when was it?

In 1942.

- Here's the explanation. - "Explaination..."

- Do you mind if I smoke? - Smoke, smoke.

"I, the undersigned Kotov, a soldier who has demonstrated blah, blah, blah...

I would like to remain in the company of prisoners

because, I know that my family thinks I'm not alive

and no one is waiting for me."

Remember, my dear, remember once and for all,

that you and our daughter are alive only because of me.

I'll live on, provided

how few people know of your existence.

They think I was shot 4 years ago.

You don't exist, do you hear? Nadia and Marusia Kotov don't exist.

You are corpses. Only dust.

- Mitienka, what are you talking about? - Finally, I'm telling you the truth!

I'm telling you the truth!

I think it's an excuse... a lie.

- What, what? - A Lie.

Do you have any information about the family?

I didn't think it was the family. It was other reasons he remained in prison.

Think about it - the Division Commander would check the candy.

And suddenly there was an ordinary label?

So nothing ever happened.

Penal Battalion is another matter, there tends to be those types...

The worse the better.

- A total hell, you understand? - I understand.

Look, the signature is his... but the date is fuzzy.

I don't remember the exact date, but it was the summer of 1942.

Kotov was ordered to attack the Germans, but...

Hey! Stop!

Stop! Stop!

Hold on, I said, stop! Damn... stand down.

Lieutenant, where are we now?

We are flying without instruments.

There's probably Russians below us.

The plane can't land with it attached. We can't fly to base with it.

If we land behind the front, we'll be on our own.

Behind the lines!

Do something! I'll fly in a circle.

Get it off?

Release the clamps!

- If you don't detach it, it will kill us. - What can I do?

- How much fuel do we have? - Just enough to return to base!

What is this?

"Sergeant."

Well, go, go, gotcha!

"Dear Grandma! I write to you again.

How are you? I hope you are fine.

Our hospital has moved again, but..."

What's grandmother, what is her name?

It's gonna blow!

What have you done?! You asshole! Asshole! Asshole!

It wasn't me! This is unbelievable!

- Motherfucker! - This amulet saved us!

My grandmother, my grandmother gave it to me.

Idiot.

Do you understand what happened here?

It's a miracle! Incredible.

Give me your hands, gimme your hands!

Tie my hands together, behind my back.

If your hands are bound in front, you can easily escape.

You can run away, run away without a problem!

This amulet saved our lives. Do you believe in miracles?

Are there any wounded here?

Are there any wounded here?

Are there any wounded here?

Little sister!

- Help me! - I'm coming; stay there!

Little sister!

- Where are you? - Here!

Now, now I'm coming...

Little sister!

- Where are you? - Here I am!

Now, now, now.

Wait a minute.

Right, right, right, uncle...

- I'll help you. - What's with the uncle thing?

I'm 19 years old.

It's good you are 19, you have a young body. Faster recovery.

As soon as I do the dressing. Just a little longer!

- Stay quiet! - It hurts!

It hurts!

Quiet, the Germans will hear! Hang on.

Hang on.

I said, stay strong.

Why are you crying? Why are you crying? All the bodies around - you're still alive.

You should be happy. Why are you crying?

Are you a believer... what?

Shut up, you shouldn't speak.

- Do you know a prayer? - I know one.

Tell me.

O Lord, I wish to be obedient to your will.

My will?

...not yours, His.

Stalin?

No, no, no... I don't understand.

When you grow up, you'll understand. How do you get out of here? Come on.

Easy, easy, easy. Breathe, listen! Breathe!

Breathe... breathe. Look at me, look at me

Can you hear me? Look at me! Open your eyes, open!

You're here, you are, just take the injection.

Breathe, breathe deeply, breathe.

Breathe, look, you'll be well soon.

Look what I have for you in your pocket. Look it's warm, German medicine,

It'll make you better.

Where are you from?

Uglich.

Uglich... and what's your name?

Termido...

Termido? You're not a Russian?

Oh, silly. Is it not Russian?

My name is Termidont. They named me in honor of my grandfather.

My dad came up with it. The bonehead.

Hush, my dear and stay still. Breathe, breathe.

Breathe deeply! Hold on and stay still.

Little sister... wait.

- Wait. - What?

Show...

- What do you want me to show? - Breasts.

Your breasts.... show me.

What?

I've never seen breasts. Really.

Much less, kissed them.

Show me, please.

Please.

Come on, you will see.

If I die... I want to see them at least once before my death.

Please!

Please... only once.

Show me.

END PART ONE

I need Kotov, Captain. Where is he now?

Almost a month ago I left the division, I'm occupied with other matters.

I don't know where Kotov is now!

So tell me, where was he a month ago!

- A month ago he was in the Citadel! - Where?

The Citadel!

It's... that... that hell, that meat grinder!

A death factory!

A month ago he was there - and I doubt he could of survived it!
