Emilia Spivak as adult Zhenya
In a Nikolai Dreyden film
Angel's Aisle
Close your eyes, close your eyes. You be quiet, you be nice...
Come on, write, Father. Don't get distracted.
Mugging, robbing, that's about me!
Listen, pals, you listen carefully. Thieves will get to paradise...
Just a second.
"...I could not answer your letter.
It may be the most important request in my life...
Receive with blessings, in memory of our past in a holy cloister...
Please receive him... and may the Lord save our sinful souls...
Archpriest Nazari Temeshev."
Very good...
And now an absolutely personal question. May I?
Tell me, Father,
Who taught you hypocrisy?
Won't this letter bring you eternal torment?
You shall burn in hell fire.
Or maybe there's a way of salvation I know nothing of?
Maybe this?
O Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on us?
It doesn't help, you know.
Who are you?
You expect me to say I'm Satan, a devil?
No. I'm the builder of a happy future.
And who are you...
...Father?
In the name of the Soviet power, I sentence you to death by firing squad.
Execute the verdict.
Our Father in heaven . Hallowed by Thy name...
Fire!
I can't! Let him finish the prayer.
Load!
O Lord, have mercy, O Lord, have mercy on me a sinner...
Fire! Fire!
Come on!
Fire!
Well?!
Come on!
Good day, Comrade Commissar.
Out of the way.
...but deliver us from the evil one...
Did he write the letter?
Yes, he did.
Good.
Here are the documents.
From now on, you name is Maxim Proshin.
Can you tell me who I must...
It's in the package.
- But it's... - That's right.
That man is your target.
According to our information, he arrives at the island on the 15th.
In three hours you'll be at the Finnish border.
There's 16,000 Finnish marks in the package.
The money is for crossing the border.
For the guide.
- The guide? - Yes, he himself will find you.
Once you're in the bay, liquidate him.
This is the next stage of your mission.
If anything happens, we'll do it ourselves.
That's about all.
Have you given orders about who will stand in for you?
Yes, Zhzhyonov
Right. Good choice.
Good luck. Hope to see you soon.
Was your father a priest too?
Mmm, yes.
Good. Very good.
You have blood on your face.
Mugging, robbing, that's about me!
Listen, pals, you listen carefully...
Thieves will get to paradise.
Have you got the money?
The money. You've got it?
- Well... Why... - We don't have time. Give me the money.
All right.
(in Finnish) Here! Thirty for the three of you.
When is the next patrol?
At 2.15
I see.
Good boy.
(in Russian) Do you do it all by yourself, boy?
No, with my girlfriend.
I see.
Have you got parents?
(in Finnish) No one can catch this kid.
He knows all the paths here, just like any fox or wolf.
Here, Vessa, two hundred thousand.
Two hundred thousand, wow!
They say the kid is an orphan.
His Russian mother died last summer,
and his drunkard of a stepfather drove him out of the house.
That's how it is.
Hush, Vessa.
Stay here.
No.
Look up, Vessa, it's a squirrel.
A squirrel.
Let's go. You imagine defectors everywhere.
(in Russian) What were they talking about?
(in Finnish) Damn!
Look at that cloud.
It looks like a cow, doesn't it.
Scary.
Is he sick or what?
The ship is already in the bay! Hurry up!
Stop. Don't turn around.
Don't turn.
What's your name?
Zhenya.
- Thank you. - God bless you.
Bless... bless...
Calm down, Masha.
It's just 7 km from the bay to the island.
Seven and a half.
Paradise is close at hand.
Oh, it's heavy.
(In Finnish) What have you got in there?
Ammunition.
Real heavy.
Why are you dawdling there? Hurry, hurry.
You're so good at it.
How do you do it?
With hands.
Will you teach me too?
Now everyone is on their own. Do you understand?
- Isn't it enough that I...? - What?
Beautiful.
Learn Finnish! Not 'beautiful', but 'kaunista'.
(in Finnish) Beautiful.
Just 6 or 7 years ago this was Russia.
Now it's all ours.
Today it's yours, and tomorrow someone else's.
Any regime, even the strongest one, sooner or later comes to an end.
(in Finnish) Very beautiful!
I speak Russian.
Oh! I said it's very beautiful.
Why so many drunks or alcoholics?
They're heading for the island too.
They're all yours. Drowning their sorrow, can't stop, so they come here.
They say, 'Paradise! Paradise!'
But we're strict about it here.
Last month a former tsarist general came here for treatment.
Kept praying to God for Mother Russia and drank like a fish.
Poor man.
What else has he got, though?
And you? Don't you long... for Russia?
Why long for it?
Before the revolution or after it...
Borders, the military, Finland...
Nothing has changed.
We live as we used to live.
This is my Russia.
Easy, there's enough newspapers for everyone.
- Masha, I'm here! - Petya.
Hello! How are you doing here?
For three days on end, sunny, and now it's raining.
Dear emigres, welcome to a corner of the old Russia.
It lives on, our dear one...
As long as the builders of the Happy Future haven't got here.
Now they will bless us,
settle us in these rat holes...
Close your eyes, close your eyes, be quiet, be nice...
Save us, God!
I've been waiting for you.
I dreamt last night,
The two of us standing like now,
And your guardian angel behind you showing you the way.
May the Lord save you, Father Svyatoslav.
And you too, Brother Vladimir.
- Revelations again? - Yes, yes.
- And these are our guests. - I know.
Poor Father Svyatoslav.
How can I find Father Mavriky?
"... receive with blessings, Nazari Temeshev."
And how is Father Nazari, God save him?
It's strange,
Usually so verbose, he wrote almost nothing about himself.
Very succinct.
"... and may the Lord save our sinful souls."
It's been almost... ten years since we saw each other last.
How is he? Is he alive?
O Lord, rest his pure soul in peace!
- When did it happen? - Well, it...
(in Finnish) So you claim that you crossed the border last night?
I don't understand Finnish.
(in Finnish) Oh, some emigre!
I asked you,
Did you and your brother cross the border last night?
Yes, at Rajajoki.
By some miracle.
And how much did the miracle cost today?
I didn't pay.
I waited for the patrol to pass and took my chance jumping in the river.
We made it here with God's help.
Place your things on the table. Open the sack. Now!
(in Finnish) I don't think it's necessary.
But the island is a military base.
Unfortunately, we're not the masters here. But it's not for long.
Who's there?
(in Finnish) Is Mr. Raatikainen with you?
Come in, Hellmark, I'm here.
I have some urgent business.
Speak up. They don't understand Finnish.
I've got urgent news from headquarters.
Listen to me.
You find Father Vladimir.
He'll explain everything and impose a penance on you.
Tell him I gave a blessing.
Come to me in the evening and we'll talk.
You can go now.
Listen here, but be quiet.
Translate everything they said. I must know.
I don't have to.
Do you understand what I was supposed to do with you?
What?
- Please translate. - No.
Go to hell, then.
Monks.
You will live here, monks.
Of course, it's not a palace.
The rules are simple.
Everyone lives with us 3 days,
Then you may choose...
Either beat it, or stay on the island for good.
So, Maxim, you have time to think.
This is the penance.
You, firstly, will be with Father Svyatoslav.
- The blind man. Remember him? - I remember.
Go to him and ask what he needs.
And you, Maxim, go to Hilarion, our cellarman.
You will work with him in the kitchen.
Go right now.
I've been feeding him promises since morning.
Only first I'll go to church to pray.
It can wait.
You can pray working, too.
Mice.
You can't get rid of them.
Look, what's your name?
Maxim.
Maxim, a fine name.
Yeah.
And what's your patronymic?
Yuryevich.
Your father didn't happen to be a cook, eh?
No, he was a priest.
Then you're right to have fled from the Reds.
Maxim Yuryevich, take the blue jar from the shelf,
And pour some out.
It's poison! Pour it in the corners!
I told Ivan to pour some!
You can build the Happy Future only with discipline and skill.
Not by destroying, but by creating!
Yuck! It's awful.
Maxim Yuryevich, can you cook?
I can cook a few things.
I can't cook at all.
But they never say anything.
Maybe out of fear, or maybe out of respect.
Who knows? You'll never get the truth anyway.
Maxim Yuryevich, look here.
Only be honest!
What do you think?
Honestly?
Too much salt.
- Too much salt. - And pepper, too.
And pepper, blast it!
And I would take out the turnip. All of it.
Add a few onions, carrots.
I see you have carrots.
Replace all of it.
Replaced.
Father Svyatoslav.
Father Svyatoslav, where are you?
I was sent to serve you.
They told me to ask what you need.
"When Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth...
...and laid it in his new tomb.
Now, after the Sabbath,
As the first day of the week began to dawn,
Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb.
And behold, there was a great earthquake;
For an angel of the Lord descended from heaven,
And came and rolled back the stone..."
Once I saw all that too.
It's a miracle, isn't it?
Yes.
This place is called Angel's Aisle.
Very few come here.
People love noise, they love magnificence.
And it's always quiet here,
Because the Angel of the Lord lives here,
and prays for all of us.
Thanks for coming, girl.
I'm a boy!
A boy.
Give it back!
You think if I'm blind I can't see anything?
Sometimes blindness gives you a different kind of vision.
Forgive me, Lord.
O God, please forgive me.
Why are you crying?
I'm unworthy, that's why.
I just remembered something. A fleeting memory.
I left a daughter there, in Russia.
She must be grown up now.
I remember when she was 10...
...She fell in the garden and hurt herself badly.
Floods, just floods of tears.
And I took her in my arms and rocked her tenderly.
Close your eyes, close your eyes, be quiet, be nice...
Well, is he coming or not?
He's supposed to be here at 6:15.
There's still time.
We'll wait.
That's it, let's go. Something must have happened.
They're already having dinner.
To oars.
Life of Saint Porphyry.
Once they celebrated the birthday of Emperor Julian the Apostate.
Porphyry was to mock and abuse the Christians in the theater.
He submerged in water for this purpose, and exclaimed:
Baptized is Porphyry, in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost,"
and he suddenly believed in the true God,
and coming out of the water, began to openly profess Christ.
For this, he was sentenced to torture and cut with a sword.
Alright, maybe I'll try to teach you to draw.
I'm serious.
-So for nothing? -Yes.
For nothing.
You want to know what the soldiers were talking about, right?
Yes, I would like it.
Alright.
Wonderful. Then we'll begin right after supper.
Young people,
I would like to ask you, first, not to be late for meals.
That means, on time.
Secondly, not to talk at the table.
And one more thing, young fellow, take off your cap.
A man should not eat with his head covered.
He's got herpes. And lice.
That's why he wears a cap.
Please allow him to wear it until tomorrow,
And then we'll try to wash them out.
Alright.
What are you drawing?
Softer here. Look.
It looks like a cow, not clouds.
A cow.
Then shade the cow.
Or, if it's a cow, add horns to it.
Have you ever seen flying cows?
No.
What are you doing? They might see you. Put the cap on!
They were talking about a dispatch from headquarters.
Remember that soldier in glasses who came?
He brought the dispatch.
The yellow envelope, remember?
So you want to be a monk?
I don't know why you're here.
Perhaps because you get bed and board here?
If so, you should know that you're not the only fugitive.
People flee war, peace, death, poverty, and always have.
Only the fighting is fiercer here.
Fighting with your own will, your pride, your self.
And this is the most horrible battle.
I, too, once came here running away from...
I deserted the Guards.
I could be commander of a regiment or an army by now.
I thought it would be easier here,
Yet one may perish in a cloister but be saved in the world.
You expect me to throw myself at your feet?
To say that I robbed, killed, sinned, didn't love my neighbour?
You expect confessions? There's none.
I want to be a monk.
I'm not running away from anything.
You're not?
Ask, and it will be given to you . Knock, and it will be opened to you.
What kind of father are you if a son asks for bread
And you give him a stone?
What? Is it frightening there?
The Bolsheviks are killing.
I had a dream the other night,
That I was a little boy living in our house on Podyacheskaya St.
I come in and...
There's only water around . Everything seems to be sinking.
And then it was gone.
Why did they have to destroy everything? In the name of what?
In the name of the Happy Future?
The Kingdom of God?
Destroying doesn't mean building.
You can't build the Kingdom of God on blood.
No, it's not frightening there.
It's as usual.
But it's frightening here.
There seems to be nothing happening, but it's frightening.
So when you got your Soviet power there,
We took all the Tsar's portraits off the walls.
We kept low, tucking our tails between our legs like dogs.
What is going to happen?
Nothing will happen.
And it is our fault.
I keep it here, just in case.
What for?
As if there's still something over there.
But there's nothing, right?
I don't know while I've told you all this.
You want to be a monk, be a monk.
Live here with us, work, look around.
It takes time, too.
Only one thing is important: do you really believe?
Right, it feels fresh in the open air.
You get no stink.
On the other hand, fish don't stink by choice.
Why do fish stink?
Because it's rotten.
It's rotten and stinks.
But while it's fresh, it smells okay.
Fishers of fish.
Fishers of men.
"Then He said to them:
Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men."
So we, too, have fished you, Maxim.
Now it's important you don't go rotten.
All these newspapers.
You always want to keep up with civilisation, Wille.
One can learn a lot of news.
What's new this time?
Shall I read?
Here, for example:
The Finnish frontier guards promise a reward of 200,000 marks
For the capture of a little girl
Who took illegal Soviet emigres across the border,
Mostly in the area of the Rajajoki River.
Finnish authorities suspect her of assisting the Soviet Secret Service.
Can I talk with Maxim?
Talk it you need to. No one's stopping you.
It's rather private.
If it's private, go and find a private place.
I don't want to listen to your privacies.
I have something that I want to talk with you about.
They say you cooked the dinner today.
I wanted to ask you:
Today is my sister's name day.
We'll have a party at my place. Some merrymaking.
Could you fix a little banquet?
I'll certainly pay you.
Bravo!
They say I sang pretty well too, when I was young.
Maybe we'll try a duet?
What?
(in Finnish) Careful . You've got a wife there.
She's over there.
Your health.
Under your window I stand with a guitar, my friend.
Look at me, please, I pray. Just once will be enough.
Brighter than a May day is the sparkle of your lovely eyes.
You know, I guess this song is for those...
...Who understand Russian here.
I'm flirting now with another woman...
...in front of my wife.
But it's permissible for an emigre and hereditary nobleman,
For a man who's lost everything,
and now, as a parasite, drinking up the last drop in the country's name.
I'm a nonentity, ladies and gentlemen.
Let's drink...
Yes, let's drink.
I don't understand anything.
Zhenya... I need your help.
Zhenya...
Zhenya, what's with this protest? Protesting what?
Now I know that you work for them.
I thought you were a good man, and you're with them? Them!
Them? Who?
Them!
Zhenya, no! No, Zhenya!
I know, you came here to kill.
Who?
Why didn't you kill me then?
I don't know...
Who are you going to kill?
- What's this? - Read, read it.
To the chief of the coast...
Well, to Officer Raatikainen, Headquarters of the Finnish Army...
Read on, read!
We inform you that the ex-regent of Finland,
Now General Karl Gustav Mannerheim, will arrive at the island.
Well, I've been waiting for you.
What do you mean?
I know who you are... comrade.
No, it doesn't make sense.
Besides, you've been extremely lucky.
It's not only in your commissar's interest to eliminate the General,
But there are forces in Finland...
Who don't like where he's leading the country.
That's why...
You'll do...
What you're supposed to do.
And still I wonder why they've chosen you.
You've made so many blunders!
It's utterly unprofessional.
And this girl...
She's a witness we don't need!
I think she'll be removed.
Give me the keys!
You reason like a philosopher, not a monk.
We'll be having this argument forever.
Bath day! So nice.
We'll be clean soon.
- I hope we finish before he arrives. - We will.
I'll go wash those ne'er-do-wells.
God help you.
Hurry up!
Father Anthony, why are you taking so long?
Well, and where's the young one?
You said yourself: we'll wash him off.
I think he may be infectious . Better after everybody, to be safe.
Really? Alright then.
You'll go after Hilarion. He always washes last.
Hurry up! Who's that?
Zhenya, when will you come out?
Come out, hurry!
Will you kill him?
I must.
Who says you must?
Who?...
Don't kill him.
What's the matter? Catch it.
For such a special occasion, we have to.
Catch it.
What are you doing?
Fasten it now!
Stretch it!
Make it even.
Yes, put that splinter away.
(in Finnish) I've never seen him in person, but always dreamt it.
Today your dream will come true.
Quiet.
He's coming.
Glory to the liberator of Suomi!
Long live Finland!
Don't touch me. I'm a subject of Finland now.
I can greet my national hero properly.
Long live General Mannerheim.
(in Finnish) Mr. Raatikainen, sign this.
What's this?
Now's not the time.
Everything ready?
- Yes. - Good.
Good boy.
This is our day, Maxim Yuryevich.
Any moment Mannerheim might want a second serving in the staff room.
Such an honour for us!
Just dropping into our lap!
Want to talk?
Yes, I'd like to talk to Maxim.
- Privately? - Privately.
There he is! Talk!
It's no good. Why not yesterday? No tomorrow? Doing it in a hurry.
It must go today.
Wait, wait... Gold, lime...
Here, write it down.
- That's it. Go. - Go? And the estimate?
I'll check it myself and leave it here or with Kliment.
Lime... eight sacks.
Golden... fifteen kilos.
Ultramarine... six kilos.
The laundresses are singing.
It's their choir.
Something's not right.
I'm sorry. You see, I've got a lot of problems.
It's alright. I'll wait.
- You know already? - I know.
Even if I didn't, it's obvious.
Two new pillboxes on the northern cape.
In January they brought cannons.
A school for the military children.
Everything was leading to that, right?
The entire island for the monastery, that's too much, right?
We're in the way of the army, right?
I understand everything.
Another month or two, maybe six, and you'll transfer us from here,
And then there'll be no monastery.
It's absolutely clear.
All right, ultramarine...
Did you do all this yourself?
Accounting, approvals?
Yes, myself... myself!
It's amazing how people change after 40 years.
When we were in military school,
I couldn't even imagine that you...
That you had it in you...
When we were in school, we were different people.
They sing beautifully.
They're Finnish Orthodox girls.
They themselves gather here every Sunday,
And sing.
Let the monastery stay on the island.
We're getting along fine with the military,
And when the war comes, God will help us.
(in Finnish) Taste it.
What?
Taste it! Yummy, yummy, yummy.
Well? Still alive?
Good.
Alright, lay the table here.
Then lock and give they key to the guard.
Lord God Jesus Christ, Son of God,
Have mercy on me, a sinner...
Tell me...
You said the Angel is here,
Praying for all of us, protecting us all.
But what if a very good man went astray,
And he does bad things because
He was told to do them,
And another man is going to die, then...
Quiet, quiet...
Don't say anything, just listen... And then repeat after me.
We thank Thee, the Lord God, merciful and gracious,
The everlasting King and giver to the needy...
...Quench every strife,
For you are our peace and unto Thee we ascribe glory now...
(in Finnish) Don't move! I've got a revolver!
I don't understand Finnish, I'm sorry!
Turn on the light!
What are you doing here?
Who are you?
I've brought your supper.
You have blood on your face.
Here, wipe it off.
You said you don't know Finnish.
Are you an emigre?
Yes.
Listen, I have to make a decision.
It will depend on your answer.
You could go anywhere.
Why did you come here, of all places?
I believed in the Soviet power, in the Happy Future, but now...
I don't know.
(in Finnish) Go now.
(in Russian) Go now.
God be with you.
Yes, yes...
Stop, wait.
- Go back and finish the job! - Let me go.
Let you go?
You signed your own death warrant!
You are no more!
I know.
I'm no more.
(in Finnish) War. One day you will start again.
The ruling circles of Finland have turned that country
And especially the Karelian Isthmus
into a ready foothold
for countries hostile to the USSR.
Finland's present government's hostile policy towards our country
Forces us to take immediate measures
To ensure state security from outside intervention.
On November 26, 1939,
Finnish guards launched a vile provocation,
Firing at a military unit of the Red Army.
Close your eyes, close your eyes.
You be quiet, you be nice...
Just look at those wedges.
Mitka, when we get back, fix up the axes so that no one gets hurt.
Oh, boys, there comes our beauty, bringing us our dinner.
Wartime's wearisome, the food is wholesome.
One just can't do without a woman.
You're our guardian angel, Zhenya.
Maxim, come and eat.
Why torture yourself?
It's the same every winter.
You must listen to me! I'm your confessor!
Have some, won't you ? You need your strength.
To the monastery!
So much for our dinner.
Hurry, to the church!
Everyone, to the Angel's Aisle.
Father Vladimir, help me.
Go, boys!
When will be the end of it?
It will end. It will end, our beauty!
Glory to You, our Lord. Glory to You.
(in Finnish) Sir!
Help! The officer is wounded! Medic!
(in Finnish) Willie! Willie! Listen to me!
Yesterday's layouts are in the upper draw, the rest are...
Our Father in heaven...
Don't pull so hard. You're hurting her.
Let me do it. I'll show you.
What, poor thing? He hurt you, didn't he.
Come on, let's milk, you must!
Come on, dear, come on.
Zhenya. How is Father Svyatoslav?
He's alright.
Keep's joking, hasn't lost his sense of humour.
At his age, you know.
Bear with me, dear.
You know what Father Mavriky said?
He wants to send me away from the monastery.
Or you.
- You know why? - What?
Do you know why?
Do you know why?
You know.
We were given only 24 hours to pack.
And the order was late. It only arrived today,
But was supposed to be here last Tuesday.
So we're on Soviet Territory now?
Are we on Soviet Territory?
Are we on Soviet Territory?
Wait a minute.
We were on Finnish territory, now we're on Soviet...
- Shall we load cast iron sheets? - What sheets? What?
Forgive me God!
Maxim!
Maxim Yuryich.
May the Lord rise and all His enemies perish...
As the candle's wax melts and as the smoke disappears.
Maxim!
Oh my! And I never noticed.
Oh, my God, Maxim dear! How beautiful!
Yes, it's old.
The thirteenth... The sixteenth... I don't know.
Yes, they knew how to paint then! So simple, yet so beautiful!
It should be restored, but it's too late.
I wanted to tell you...
Oh! But I was forestalled.
Hurry, hurry, Brother Maxim, you can paint it later.
Father Hilarion, didn't you forget about cast iron sheets?
Finland is in a difficult situation.
The population of the territories passed to the USSR is being evacuated.
Their homes are abandoned.
Let's go. Start.
With God's help.
Father Hilarion, we forgot the icon-case!
Icon-case, icon-case. What icon-case?
What icon-case?
Why do we forget everything?
We forgot ourselves, we forgot all our life.
What? What? Did you forget something?
I'll be right back.
Who's there?
Hello? Anybody there?
Look, the tanks...
The Soviet tanks.
Father Mavriky.
Stop them all.
Please stop them.
Maxim went back to the island, and they are headed there.
(in Finnish) The Reds are advancing. Don't stop! Take the horses!
Please stop! Have mercy! Send someone there!
Just someone.
(in Finnish) No, Father Superior.
Boys, the Reds are attacking.
Please, please.
Who are you?
Who am I? You're asking who I am?
And who are you?
What role have you been playing? In whose play?
Can you answer these questions for yourself?
You see?
I see you're wearing a cassock.
You know, it becomes you.
Well, as it did your father too.
A fine costume. A fine mask!
I don't wear masks. This is ME.
You don't even have a name.
And you dare to speak of some 'me'.
Ridiculous.
Has it never occurred to you that man is capable of very much?
Imagination is a great thing.
It can create and destroy worlds, universes.
What do you want from me?
Now, I guess, nothing.
Nothing.
We've already got everything.
And you blew your mission.
Though I had expected that.
But at the time we didn't have a better candidate.
Now you are on our territory.
- And we can do with you... - Then what are you waiting for?
Go ahead.
Fuck it.
Wow. Look who is here!
- Guys... guys. - Zhzhyonov.
We crushed and crushed you fucking clergy, but it seems not all yet.
Never mind, you'll get your share now!
What are you mumbling?
A little prayer?
Ivashev! Where are you all?
...Give us our daily bread...
And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive...
Maxim.
Maxim.
Maxim, what have they done to you?
What is it?
They let me go.
Come on. Get up.
Soon they will all be here.
And we won't get away then.
Let's go.
Get up, I said!
Come on, let's go.
It was right... We crossed the border.
Come on.
Help us!
"Don't turn..."
Maxim! Come on, come on.
"What is your name... My little Zhenya. It was right."
Help us!
Get over here! What are you gaping at?
Never seen that shit?
Set fire to it!
Burn!
Forgive us.
Come here!
I understand, it was right!
Maxim! Help us!
Maxim, please don't die!
The bullet has returned... The bullet...
You'll teach me to draw flying cows. There are flying ones, I know. Oh!
Everything will be alright with us.
We'll be alright.
My angel... angel.
See how it turned out.
- Let me be forgiven everything. Forgive me... - I love you.
I've realised it only now.
Everything is right.
Let me be completely forgiven.
Let me be completely forgiven...
