Someone here.

He doesn't move.

He doesn't breathing, maybe he is dead. Where he came from?

Like аn our uniforms.

If they will start looking him. We'll blame.

We came himself. We were not home. He died. This is not our problem.

You will not listen. You saw what they are doing.

We must take him away from here. Maybe to the yard.

And if they will come say that we have not seen anyone.

Take the gun.

Is Zhenya sleeping?

He is.

Let’s pull him further away.

Where to? Let’s leave him on the stairs.

You said that he wasn’t breathing!

He wasn’t! You checked it yourself!

Valya!

What?

To hell with him! Let’s leave him here! Come on!

How can we leave him? He is alive!

Did you forget about the hanged people?

Valya, maybe he lived here… or knows somebody.

We can’t do it. He is wounded.

Get off!

Pull him in.

Valya, we shall let him stay.

We shall also bury his uniform somewhere far away.

Do you think that if he is not in the uniform

the Germans won’t guess that he is a military man?

What shall we do?

He is wounded. The bullet went through.

We shall dress the wound. But how?

We don’t have vodka. Let’s go to Lodyko.

Are you crazy? He’ll bring the Germans to us.

Valya, tell him that Zhenya’s ear hurts.

That you need vodka for a compress. Valya? Give this to him.

Maybe he’ll give you some vodka and keep silent.

Valya, stop! Help me to put him on the sofa.

Do it yourself. I’m going to Lodyko.

Kovelskiy Yakov Nicolayevitch.

Who are you?

Fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen,

nineteen, twenty. Damn it!

We’ll be gathering them all night! They are hiding like rats!

Let’s go!

Open up! Get out into the street!

Open up!

Who is there?

They are checking apartments. They are rounding people up.

Where are they taking us? Yuriy, what is going on?

Don’t do it, Maya. Nobody will talk to you.

They’ll make a check-up and let you go.

I work for the commandment’s office! - You shall be ashamed, Lodyko!

You used to be a voluntary group activist in school!

You shall not get mad at me, comrade deputy director.

You used to be a boss when the Communists were in power.

It is our turn now. - Take them away!

You’re a bastard, Lodyko! A venal creature!

Maybe we shall open.

Are you a fool? You brought an officer into the house

and now you want to open the door. Wait.

Maybe they’ll leave.

Yakov, wait. Calm down, please. Wait!

Mum, I’m scared.

Twenty eight, twenty nine, thirty…

They seem to have left. They are going downstairs.

Everything is fine. It is all right. Let’s get up.

The wound opened up!

Thirty eight, thirty nine. Forty people! This is it! Enough!

Yura! Yura!

Maya!

Yura!

Let me go!

Maya! Maya!

Yura!

Yura-a-a!

They killed him!

Galya? They didn’t take you, did they?

No, they didn’t.

I have a pass from the commandment’s office.

Do you have the same?

I do. Where did they take them?

I don’t know. Mind, you didn’t see me.

We’ll shoot ten city residents for each German soldier

killed by the guerrillas. If the bandits that committed

this terrible crime don’t show up in three days,

we’ll shoot forty people.

The Fascists will murder forty people because of us!

There are leaflets all over the city!

You know already…

Vera’s father is among the hostages.

We shall do something!

What? Shall we surrender?

This is unfair! They’ll be killed, and we…

We’ll fight. We’ll fight these bastards to the death.

What about Vera? What shall she do? Her father…

I understand everything. Let it be as it is.

Maybe we shall try releasing them. We have weapons.

Where do they keep them?

In the commandant’s office, in the cellar.

No. This is a suicide. There are too few of us.

We can kill a dozen of people if we catch them off-guard…

Let me go alone.

I’ll tell them that the rest left with the prisoners.

They won’t believe you. They’ll torture you and ask questions.

Are you sure that you’ll stand the pain and not give us away?

Let me stay here for some time. I can’t go home.

Of course, you may.

Soap! Kerosene!

A good coat! Buy it! Who need a coat? A very good coat!

A beautiful coat! Come and buy it!

Don’t you feel sorry to sell it, Galya?

Why are you asking, Valya? We shall live somehow.

A good coat! A beautiful and fashionable coat! Buy it!

May my wife try it on?

Of course.

Try it on, comrade. This is a good coat.

Is it a bit on a narrow side? No?

Narrow? It’ll suit you perfectly soon.

Shall we take it?

How much does it cost?

Twenty marks. Or 200 rubles.

How much?

Don’t take it if you don’t want it.

What about 15?

Are you crazy?

Wait! Wait! Wear it! Take it, for God’s sake!

Can you pay me in marks?

Thank you.

Let’s go.

Oh, Galya…

If I weren’t there, would you have given it for free?

Soap! Pre-war soap is double-valuable!

Who needs soap?

Hello.

I wish you good health. What do the ladies want?

A piece of soap. And a vial of kerosene.

A vial of kerosene. Oh, God! Do you have a vial, girls?

We do.

Lilies of the valley! A perfume! How great life used to be!

Here is another one… without a star.

Where? Where are you taking me? Beasts!

They are rounding kikes up.

What?

They are rounding kikes up. The Jews.

What are you doing? Put it back!

Why are you barking?

Give it back, I tell you!

Choke on it!

Give the soap back too!

Let’s go!

Valya, look!

What happened here?

There is nobody around. Where is everybody?

Oh, God! Where is Zhenya? Oh, God, Zhenay! Zhenya!

Zhenya, sonny! God, where is he? Zhenya?

Zhenya, where are you? Zhenya, Zhenya, where are you?

He was playing here with Zyama!

Serafyma, did you see my Zhenya? Do you hear me?

Don’t touch me. They took your Zhenya away.

Where to?

Together with Zyama and Sopha.

They pulled their grandpa Aron on a matrass

and loaded into a truck.

How can that be? Zhenya is not a Jew!

Why didn’t he say so? Why did you keep silent?

Serafyma, why did you keep silent?

I don’t care about it! Why shall I take risks for your sake?

You’re so mean!

You’re worse than the Germans! He is a kid!

What shall I do? What shall I do?

My poor sonny, what shall I do?

Wait, don’t cry. Run home and gather him documents.

Bring his birth certificate.

Your passports, Kolya’s and Zhenya’s!

The birth certificates… hold this.

What? Leave it at home. Bring the certificates!

The two trains have come and are waiting in Minsk.

They brought Jews from Poland.

Berlin informed that another three trains will arrive

from Germany and Holland. However, even if a fourth of them

die on the way, we’ll still have to do something with the rest.

There is not enough room here.

Do you want an epidemic in the city?

How is the building of a camp in Trostenets going?

We’re finishing. Still, there won’t be enough room there either.

I suggest cleaning the ghetto up. There are too many people.

We won’t be able to do it in one day. However,

we’ll be ready by the time the echelons arrive.

I’m against it! The Fuehrer entrusted me

with making these people valuable for the Reich.

The Jews are useful. They are hardworking and qualified.

How can I replace them?

With other Jews… from Poland and Germany.

They are hardworking, qualified and obedient too.

Do you think that idiots work in Poland?

They need workforce too. I’m sure that they’ll send us

the sick, the old and the young.

Valya! This is the boy’s mother. His name is Zhenya.

Zhenya Shumskiy. He is not a Jew. Here are his papers.

His father is a Belarussian and his mother too.

I got you.

I was a mistake.

Here is our passes. Please!

We need just two minutes to take him away.

Frau Galina Pomazan, I can’t let you enter the territory.

Our bosses are very strict. Wait. Wait aside.

What?

Wait, Valya. They are sorting it out.

They are looking for a boy. He was playing with a Jewish boy

and got rounded up. His father is a Belarussian

and his mother is a Belarussian too.

Sirs Officers!

Get off, please! Get off! Get off!

Sirs Officers! Let me address you!

What’s the matter?

Sir Gauleiter! Sir General!

These ladies came because of a mistake.

A boy was rounded up by accident who is not a Jew.

They are his relatives.

Sirs Officers, let us enter the territory.

We’ll come in just for a moment! Our boy is there!

It was a mistake! He is not a Jew!

Here are his documents.

How was the boy taken? Why weren’t you with him?

We were at work… we were working!

They were working.

The boy played in the yard on his own. So, he was rounded up.

There was another boy there, a Jew.

They played together, so they got rounded up together.

"There was another boy there; they played together. "

That second boy is a Jew. It seems to be true.

Where are your husbands, I wonder?

Our husbands… husbands…

He died. Her husband died. And my husband…

I’m not married.

She is not married.

She is so inventive!

I think her place is among Israel’s daughters.

Well… We came here to bring law and order.

Therefore, we must accept our mistakes.

I apologize on behalf of the Belorussian authorities.

Let them come.

Sir Gauleiter let you come in.

This soldier will accompany you.

Thank you! Let’s go!

Thank you!

What a brave woman! By the way,

if we brought peace here, we shall open kindergartens…

so that our workers could work without getting distracted.

I hope they will be managed not by the SS or SD.

Zhenya! Zhenya!

Zhenya!

Zhenya! Zhenya! Zhenya! Did you see a boy?

He was brought today. A blue-eyed boy. Zhenya!

He is six. Did you see a boy?

A boy with blue eyes. He is six. Zhenya!

Zhenya! Zhenya!

Zhenya! Zhenya!

Doctor? Hello. Do you recognize me?

Hello. Of course I do! How are you?

Why are you asking? We have nothing to buy,

we have nothing to eat, we have no money…

How do you feel? Any pains?

No, no. Everything is fine. Fine… Thank you.

I’m sorry…

It is OK.

Zhenya!

"He is six; he is very thin. Did you see a boy? "

He has blue eyes. He was brought today…

Mum, mum!

Zhenya! Zhenya!

Let me go!

Zhenya!

Mum, let me go! I’ll give his car back! Mum, let me go!

Zhenya!

Come on. Let’s go back!

The decision is the following.

We’ll establish age qualification for the ghetto.

Those older than 50 or younger than 15, sick and invalids

will be transferred to Trostenets.

Yes. However, the SS won’t do the accounting!

This is all I can do for you!

Herr Officer! Herr Officer! Thank you! Thank you!

Stand up.

Go and say thank you.

It’s much easier to conquer peoples in this way.

We as if visited a cemetery.

Oh, God forbid! God help them!

Go, go!

Dad!

The paper from the commandant’s office didn’t help.

Maybe they’ll surrender. They are not beasts.

These people are innocent.

They won’t! They are not fools.

Residents of the free Belarus!

Being a commander of the fighters for the freedom

of the Belarussian people I’m honored to address you.

Today according to the order of the German commandment

supported by us, the patriots, hostages will be executed.

Oh, God! You live and then… And your…

Shall we not live now? One can’t escape one’s fate.

We offered these bandits to surrender

and save lives of the innocent residents. However,

they demonstrated their rotten essence.

Not even one of them came!

The term of the ultimatum…

expires in two minutes.

Your plan failed… as I said.

It means that you’ll have to find the criminals yourself.

If you think that it is so important…

If you mean the order, I do.

I think that order is very important. A real Arian order…

All right, I’ll call my best criminalists. Shyman?

The department of the national self-defense of Belarus

was entrusted with carrying out the order.

Get ready!

Fire!

Aim!

Fire!

Newspapers!

Thank you!

Are you Arkhipova Maria?

Let’s go!

Don’t turn around. Move it!

Where are you taking me?

You’ll get to know. Are you a Communist or a Komsomol?

You must have confused me with somebody.

Turn! Turn! Come on!

Stand still! To the wall! Turn to the wall! Face to the wall!

He thinks that I have no friends in Berlin

and I won’t get to know if he files a complaint against me.

I don’t think somebody will believe his report.

He knows how to hit the most vulnerable places.

If the report concerned the essence of our work,

they would have started the investigation

and got to know the truth. However, that aristocrat

is acting like a market seller. Many people in the Reich’s administration

love making deals at the markets.

Herr von Gottenberg is coming here.

Delay him for a few minutes.

I feel sorry that I’ll have to part with such a beauty.

Prepare for a conversation.

Anita, honey, I miss you so much!

Heil Hitler!

Heil Hitler! I didn’t say that to you, honey. Really?

It means I’ll see you and the kids soon!

No, you’ll like it here. I’m looking forward to seeing you.

We’ll meet soon. I love you too, honey.

Kiss the boys and little Marie from me. See you!

I’m glad to see you, Herr Gottenberg.

Von Gottenberg, Herr Kraube.

This is a list of your administration employees

whom the guerillas tried to recruit.

Yes, I know. These people reported about it themselves.

I’m sure that they’ll recruit somebody sooner or later.

Recruit somebody too!

It makes more sense to scheme against the enemies

of the Reich than against its friends.

It’s a bog here… We’re almost there.

I’m coming.

What has happened?

It is fine.

I have a cramp in my foot. Oh, mummy…

Give me your hands.

Thank you.

Maria!

Nicolay Petrovitch! Hello!

We met, after all! Sit down. Tell me, how are you?

I’m so glad! I didn’t know what to think.

What is happening is terrible!

Did you manage to send the kids away?

I did.

Did you hear any news about your husband?

I’m glad that you’re safe and sound.

Nicolay Petrovitch, I came in time that day,

I wasn’t late, honestly. I was waiting for the liaison,

as we agreed, on that day and the next, but he didn’t come.

You didn’t tell me where to go and whom to look.

He failed then. He was a good boy.

However, I remembered about it. I didn’t forget.

The time has come, and we found you.

I felt it! I knew that we weren’t alone!

There are lots of us, and we’ll drive the Germans away!

Moscow remembers about us. I’ll present you to somebody now.

Comrade Major, let me present Maria Arkhipova to you.

Hello. Why did you go to the forest in shoes?

I didn’t expect to end up here. I thought that my end had come.

Sit down.

Andrei! Silantyev!

Find puttees and boots for comrade Arkhipova!

Aye-aye!

Well, comrade Arkhipova… you’re acting

with an undercover group in Minsk, aren’t you?

Yes. We have a few people. They are good.

All of them are Komsomol members.

Did you attack the prisoners’ of war camp?

Yes, we did. We released the prisoners.

Many of them escaped.

It was a brave act…

but dumb. Because of your and your people’s

unauthorized actions the Germans executed forty civilians.

Yes, but we didn’t think…

Exactly. You didn’t think. However, you should have!

I’m sure that comrade Arkhipova didn’t expect

such a development of events. Masha, stop it!

You shall not test the Germans for cruelty.

They won’t contain themselves. Do you understand?

I do.

Are there reliable people in your group? Are you sure?

You’ll be held responsible for their actions from now on.

Yes. I’m sure.

Good. From this day on, I forbid you and your people

to carry military operations out.

What we need from you is intelligence data.

Yes, but…

Don’t interrupt!

What shall we do?

You shall live… in a new place… with a new regime.

You shall work for the Germans. Recruit useful people.

We need information. What are they planning?

What enterprises do they open? Who works for them?

Maybe there are new soldiers somewhere…

in unusual uniforms. Pay attention to their stripes.

Who of the locals collaborate with the Nazis…

especially at important posts? Who are these people?

How may we approach them?

The more information you bring, the more good you’ll do.

Maybe you have people who know the German language?

I don’t know.

You shall know everything about your people.

Get to know who knows the language

and try to get them employed.

My guys may refuse to work for the Germans.

Convince your people!

All new contacts will be established through you.

As well as the communication.

You people shall not know your liaison.

Moreover, they shouldn’t know about us.

You shall deliver all the important information

to me directly. Is that clear? - No, I…

Is that clear?

It is.

You’ll be informed on the venue of our next meeting.

You already know your liaison.

Boots and puttees are delivered in accordance with your order!

You may be free for now.

Do you know how to wear them?

Yes, I grew up in the village. Thank you.

Any questions?

No.

Don’t worry. We’ll direct you.

We’ll give you advice in case of need.

The most important thing – you shall not do anything

on your own initiative. Do you understand?

I do.

It’s time for you to go.

Silantyev? Come to me!

You’ll see the comrade off to the road.

Good-bye, Maria. Good luck.

Thank you.

Wait for the news from us in the nearest future. Good-bye.

Good-bye.

Who dries shoes like this?

You won’t be able to wear them anymore!

Do you think she’ll manage?

She is a loyal person.

Sometimes it is not enough.

It should work now…

Vasya loves Tonya…A fool!

It works, doesn’t it?

Did you repair it?

Yes.

We may glue them now.

The victory will be ours. Is that all?

We shall write something more. Maria Andreyevna?

You’re right, comrade. Let’s get down to business.

This is not enough indeed.

We may stick papers on the walls.

The risk is the same as killing a German.

However, he won’t be able to shoot after that.

You’re wrong, Egor. People shall know what is going on.

We don’t know it ourselves. We used to listen to the news before.

We need a radio.

There only transmit German channels.

We need a long-range one… to reach to our waves.

We’ll have a radio.

So what? Will we sit and listen

how our troops are being destroyed?

We need explosives and shells for our automatic guns.

They are better than any news!

Egor, there are too many bastards here.

Innocent people will suffer for each killed.

There are no innocents here.

Only those who are fighting and the sheep.

We shall not take pity on them.

Can you say that to Vera? Her father won’t rise from the dead.

Think about your mother!

Where is Vera, by the way?

She went for a job interview.

Order, order and order once more.

This is the most important principle of our work!

Order is accuracy, discipline and punctuality.

Everything should lie at their places.

The chaos is not in the drawers but in your heads.

You shall remember where each paper is lying

to find it without a problem.

Remember – nothing may leave this room.

You’re prohibited from disclosing information

you receive and from copying documents.

The requests shall lie to your right.

The answers shall lie to your left. What did you remember?

The requests shall lie to the right, the answers to the left.

Not bad for the start. Not bad! Go on working!

Yakov Nicolayevitch? Yakov Nicolayevitch?

Galya? You’re already come, haven’t you?

I’m sleeping all the time.

You shall eat. Will you have some? Come on.

I can’t. I have no strength left.

Let me feed you.

One moment…

You don’t know how to feed children.

You don’t wear your wedding ring for some reason.

How did you notice?

There is nothing to notice. The trace remains.

Your hands are scratched. Where is your husband?

At the front?

My husband left as soon as the war started. Without me.

I beg your pardon.

There is nothing to apologize for.

Everybody is living without their husbands now.

It is the war! Yakov Nicolayevitch, I wanted to ask you…

Do you have any relatives? Maybe we shall inform somebody…

What will you inform about? I’m still alive.

Stop it! I wanted to do what is best!

I feel hot. However, I still want to sleep.

Sleep! You shall sleep, indeed.
