You killed her, didn’t you?

Be quiet. Let’s go faster.

– You should only scare her! – She would shout.

– What if they suspect something? – I don’t understand.

"Why did you bother with her at all? She is a German whore; so what? "

Episode Seven

You’re his niece, aren’t you?

I’m his cousin’s daughter. I come from Vitebsk.

– Do you live in a village? – Yes, I do.

Is it hard there now?

Like for everyone.

Where will you stay? Do you know already?

I don’t know. Here, I think… until I find a job.

Galya! You’ve gotten acquainted, haven’t you? Olesya…

We have.

Why didn’t you tell me that you have so many relatives?

Why? Everybody has relatives. My niece came to the city to find a job.

I don’t know how I may help her, though. We’ll sort it out.

What can you do? Did you visit an employment bureau?

No.

How can she go to the employment bureau? She can’t go there! Look at her!

She is a beautiful girl. She’ll be driven to Germany at once.

Is there some at your restaurant or casino?

You said you were short of people there.

I don’ know. I’ll ask.

It must be hard. We’ll think of something else.

– Do you know German? – A bit.

To tell you the truth, this is the most difficult.

When I started working there, I used to confuse forks with knives.

I’m fine now. Don’t worry. I’ll help you. I’ll show you.

Thank you, Galya.

You are helping me again.

Girls, shall we eat?

I’ll cook something. One moment.

Have you gotten acquainted with the executor?

– I did. – Good.

This is for her. Hand it over to her. One can bring it in unnoticed.

Is everything clear to you?

We’ll do all we can to present her to Kraube. However, if she is captured…

She won’t be captured.

Why didn’t she come before?

She came. There were no vacancies.

I have no more questions. Frau Pomazan? Show her our establishment.

Sure.

The kitchen is here… You did well.

You shouldn’t smile to that German, though.

Sergey said that I must make them like me.

The Germans must sleep with you here.

No. This is just a restaurant.

Each girl decides whether to sleep with the Germans on her own.

If you want it, the officers’ rooms are upstairs. Did Yakov tell you?

– Who? – Yakov Nicolayevitch.

– Who is it? – What were you doing in the village?

– Like everybody… – What about Sergey?

– What about Sergey? – Did he live with you?

He was showing movies in the cinema hall in the city.

– Thank you. – You’re welcome.

– Good-bye. – Good-bye.

Go, go!

They are afraid of everything. There are two more Jews there, Aron and Venya.

We used to study together. They said that they’d sit it out.

While they are working, they won’t be killed.

Eat.

He can’t eat it. He is a Jew.

I’m sorry.

Nonsense! My name is Misha. Only my relatives call me Moisey.

They said that there was somebody connected with the partisans.

They don’t know who, though. There are many new people.

They are afraid of everything.

The other rumor is that the guerillas kill people from our ghetto.

What for?

– Because they are the Jews. – Nonsense!

– How did it go? Was it a success? – It seems so.

They asked me about the murdered waitress, though.

Murdered? Egor?

Maria Andreyevna, there was a patrol nearby. She would shout.

I think we shall scare that Pomazan too.

Keep silent, Egor! Misha will work with her.

Are you hungry? Do you want to eat?

No. We ate with that Pomazan.

I see. What do you think of her?

She is an ordinary woman.

She is scared of everything. She is jealous of her man.

– He must be a real bastard. – How was your work?

My duties are clear. I’ll smile to them for a few days.

Do you know how to use it?

You shall only fire at Kraube.

And only when you’re sure that you’ll kill him. Do you realize that if…

I understand. I’ll go. I want to sleep very much.

How will she leave afterwards?

There was one girl in our ghetto, a student of the medical institute.

She didn’t wait for her turn and hanged herself.

The police officers said that she was the only person with such willpower.

The rest were the herd of sheep.

Why are you standing? Bring the order!

– Did you take it away? – I did.

– Give it back. – I don’t have it.

They hanged my mum and drove my brother away as a captive!

Do you know what they did to me?

Do you know what happened to me? I don’t want to live anymore!

I want to live, though.

I beg you, give the gun back! I’ll kill him anyway.

I don’t have it.

Victories are impossible without defeats.

Let’s drink for the success of a new operation at the Caucasus!

I’m sure that we’ll get good news from there soon.

– For the Reich! – For the Fuehrer!

– For new successes! – For the victory!

– Give me the gun back, I beg you! – What has happened? What’s the matter?

This girl is a thief. I caught her red-handed. I’m sorry to hear that.

Let her give what she stole back and get out of here.

We don’t need thieves. See her off!

Let’s go! Go!

Where?

What’s happened?

As new waitress was caught at an attempt of a theft.

I’m very sorry to hear that. Who caught her?

Frau Galina’s vigilance didn’t let the thief dishonor our establishment.

You did it! How did you do it?

It was just an unpleasant event.

My honors. Thank you.

We have lots of problems with the local personnel.

They steal. They are being recruited. When will we feel at home here, at last?

Mind, Herr Kraube — this woman is a rare and pleasant exclusion.

Yes, a pleasant one. Such a rarity shall not stay here.

I’ll hire her home. I’m tired of watching my personnel.

You don’t have to worry about it anymore now, when Frau Anita is here.

Yes, Klaus. I’ll be very grateful if you presented her to Anita.

After all these rumors she looks at all females close to me with suspicion.

I understand, Herr Gauleiter.

You work at the casino, don’t you?

Yes, Frau Kraube. I’m a waitress.

Tell me, have my husband been in your establishment often?

I’m sorry, Frau. My German is not very good. What did you ask?

I asked whether my husband visited your casino often with the girls.

Herr Gauleiter was receiving his guests at our place.

There were no women with him.

A waitress serving the officers. I’m looking for a maid for my children

and not for a lover for my husband.

I’m sorry. I didn’t understand what you said.

You understood everything.

Frau Galina, leave us for a few moments.

She is tidy and hardworking, she knows German, she has been tested repeatedly.

I saw her looking at you after each of my questions.

What did she, you and my husband agree on?

She just got confused. She sees you for the first time.

Of course! She knows you and my husband, though.

All right. Do you see this clock?

It used to be the property of a local commissar.

She used to serve the most important Bolsheviks.

Now she’ll be serving your table.

Do you want to say that she is something like a trophy?

Yes. She is a trophy that your husband brought home from the war.

You’re strange creatures, men!

Serezha!

Serezha! Serezha! Serezha! Yakov Nicolayvitch!

How could that happen?

Everything is fine. It’s OK. Help me to get up.

I can’t. Shall I call somebody?

No, you can’t. A patrol will come at the sound of a shot.

This is my fault.

– Let’s get out of here. – Let me look at your wound.

This is nothing He didn’t want to kill me.

I shall clean up and go to the cinema hall.

Let me bring some water. There is a water well in the street.

Let’s go!

Sit down. I will wash the blood off. Then I’ll pour some spirits. Wait.

Where is the gun?

I threw it away somewhere. I don’t remember.

– Where did you take it? – I took it from your Olesya.

What did you do? Where is she? Is she alive?

Nothing happened to your Olesya. She was fired. I took the gun

when nobody looked. You shall take your shirt off.

– What did you shoot for? – I got scared. Oh, God!

There are the bandages and iodine in the drawer. Look there.

One moment.

It’ll hurt.

It’s all right. I must work. The seance is in half an hour.

He could have killed you!

No. You’re wrong. They just scared me.

What about Olesya?

What about Olesya? Olesya is their agent.

You interfered with them. They won’t forgive you.

What is it that they won’t forgive me for? How did I interfere?

Who are these people?

They are our people. The guerillas.

– Are you one of them? – They helped me escape the Germans,

faked the documents and found a job here. You may consider me their man.

Why did he attack you?

I failed to fulfil the task.

I’m sorry. I can’t tell you everything.

I didn’t want to involve you from the very beginning.

However, now they saw you. They are capable of anything.

What do you mean? Did it all happen because of me? What shall we do now?

I don’t know.

Look... maybe we shall turn to the police.

What police? What will we tell them? That I’m a Red Army commander?

A Communist? That the guerillas revenge on me?

This is funny.

What is going on? Everybody was afraid of the Germans.

Now everybody is afraid of the guerillas. Why do we have to protect ourselves

from them? How can we influence them? I don’t get it.

The war is on charge of everything now.

Look, let me go and talk to them.

– Where? Where will you go? – I’ll go to the guerillas.

You’re my brave girl. You shall not go to the guerillas

but run away from them. I’ll sort it out myself.

Where is that — “from them”?

I just said it. Don’t think about it.

Everything will be all right.

I can not think about it. I love you.

Four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten!

Here!

There is nobody here.

Nobody here too.

Not here…

Nobody again.

Harold…

I don’t want to play with you.

Harold! Harold! Harold, don’t you want to play!

You’re not playing. You’re not looking for us!

What has happened, Harold?

– You were rummaging in my mum’s things! – Harold was the first to be found!

– She wasn’t even looking for me! – Are we playing or not?

She was peeping and she was rummaging in our things!

Let me go! You’re a fool. You shall not touch me!

Harold!

Come to me.

Look me in the eyes! What have you done?

– We were playing. It was my fault. – You shall apologize.

I’m sorry… please.

He tore her dress! Look at the hole!

This is a trifle, Herr Kraube. They are children.

They were playing. The dress is easily mended.

They are children. So I have to correct their mistake.

I won’t need you anymore today. My driver will give you a lift home.

Thank you, Herr Kraube.

Get in, Frau Galina.

You’re going with me.

Good afternoon, Herr Kraube.

I hope you don’t mind.

These are not treasures. There was a theatre here.

– Heil Hitler! – Heil!

Dramas and comedies were played here. Unfortunately,

we had to make a store of requisitioned things out of it.

– I read your play, Herr Gauleiter. – How nice. Which one?

– It was about the Ancient Rome. – Did you like it?

I didn’t understand everything.

It is about the fact that it is easier

to conquer Rome than a heart of a Roman woman.

I shall adapt it for playing in this theatre.

What are requisitioned things, Herr Kraube?

They are things taken from the Jews. What are they doing here?

They are changing the wires. They are all rotten.

Don’t worry. We’re just restoring justice. There are few of them

but they have a lot. Much more than they should.

They’ll take their proper place in the new Reich. Don’t think about it.

You shall go out of here in a new dress. And take one for a change.

– This is an order. – Thank you, Herr Gauleiter.

I won’t embarrass you further with my presence.

Frau Mozer will help you choose everything needed

for a young and beautiful woman. I’ll appreciate your choice tomorrow.

And now I have to leave you. The car will wait for Frau Galina.

Good luck.

Blue? No, this color is not for you.

Red! You need a red dress!

– Here! Do you like it? – Why are you staring?

What about this one? I can see that you like it too.

How nice!

And this hat!

– Try it on. Undress. – You’re shameless!

You shouldn’t get shy. If you want to become a real lady,

you shall not treat servants as humans. All right, change there.

It is not bad.

I don’t understand whether it is you who make the dress nice or vice-versa.

We shall choose some warm clothes too.

Do you like it?

I think we shall also choose some jeweler for Herr Gauleiter to be happy.

– You’re incredible now. – No. This is too expensive.

You shouldn’t worry about it. As you wish, though.

Well… then choose some present… for your friend… like a watch.

Don’t hide it. Such a beautiful woman shall have a secret lover.

I don’t know him, so choose something yourself.

Not a bad choice. I hope your friend will appreciate it.

This watch… You shall sign here. You don’t have to sign anything, though.

– Good-bye. – Thank you very much.

I heard that you were going to Russia and followed you immediately.

Why be so zealous, Count Cagliostro?

How can we approach him? We shall act through that Pomazan.

Many other people work in Kraube’s house.

We already have her. She believes you.

Look, she is just a woman. She can’t even kill a chicken.

Stop talking about chickens! I’m losing people, do you understand?

You’re living here and talking like a traitor!

This is not so.

This is how it is seen at the unit.

Did you forget about the fate of the prisoners’-of-war and their families?

Do you remember Order no.270? They could have executed you.

However, they helped. Did you forget why you’re here?

I’m here because I couldn’t reach the front.

This is the front now!

The existence of comrade Poryvayev makes no sense without this task.

You’re living here like this Pomazan

and entertain the Germans with the movies.

I’m a soldier. But she… She is just trying to survive.

Nothing threatens her. However, you have to prove that you’re not an enemy.

I can see that you like this task. Did she fall in love with you?

Masha, why do I have to prove something even to you?

Don’t prove anything. Just do what I asked you. Fulfil the order.

– Where are you going? Sorry, Fraulein. – Sorry…

Can I help you?

You’re protecting her as if…

You’re the dearest person for me. I’ll do everything, Masha.

– Hello. – Hello.

Hi.

Maria Andreyevna, this is me, Silantyev!

Andrei! You scared me!

I didn’t think about it.

I didn’t switch the light on so that the neighbors didn’t notice.

The door is closed and you’re here. How did you get in?

I disassembled a wall in your cellar. There are only three planks there.

I’ll repair them later.

Tea!

Where have you been?

In the village.

We blew one bridge, it was difficult.

This is a trifle. However, I can’t move my fingers.

– Vasil was even more unlucky. – How are the things going in the unit?

They must be mad at me.

– Who is there? – Galina.

– Who? – Pomazan. Open the door.

I’ll come in.

– Leave us alone! – How did you find me?

I know everything about you. Who you are. Who you used to be.

Where you live. What you’re making up. Leave Sergey alone!

You came on business, then. Come in. We’ll make a deal.

We have nothing to make deals about. Do you realize whom you’re bothering?

Who? A German whore and a deserter who is hiding behind a woman’s skirt?

Don’t touch him! Otherwise I’ll give you away to the Germans!

If you betray me, I’ll betray him. I’ll tell them that he is not Poryvayev.

That he is a Communist, a former head of the political service.

He escaped the captivity. Did you know about it? You brought him home.

Do you know what they’ll do with you for this?

And with your sister? And your Serezha?

You don’t betray your people, do you?

Who is mine? You?

Or your Serezha? Let him fulfil his task.

If he kills Kraube, he’ll prove that he was not a traitor.

Otherwise he’ll be executed for surrendering to the enemy. Do you get it?

You love shooting so much! What kind of people are you?

The enemy shall be destroyed. Did you hear such an order?

We’re not enemies.

You’ll do as I say.

No. As I’ll say.

We need to stay alive.

This is no guarantee you will.

So you can do.

One can’t shoot at Kraube. There are many guards there.

They’ll kill him at once. This is impossible.

Bring us the plan, the schemes, the schedule of the guards.

Where are the guards standing? When do they swap?

The rest is not for you to think about.

Just don’t bother him. I beg you!

I beg you in the name of Christ! Leave him alone.

Go!

Do as I say!

Why do you hate me so much?

You’re a rotten apple. If nobody picks you up, you’ll rot.

– Do we need her? – We do. Close the door.

She works in Kraube’s home. She is the nanny of his kids.

This is great luck!

It is too early to be happy. If you only knew how much it cost me…

You told her off so well, Maria Andreyevna!

The main thing is for her to do it.

Get out of here!

We brought the food!

I’m sorry, Herr Gauleiter!
