Vera! Vera! What have you done?

Episode Nine

Check everything! Gather all the papers!

She died. That bitch almost killed me!

– Aren’t you wounded, Masha? – This is not my blood.

– Why did she… because of me… – Stop it. You can’t change it.

We shall leave. If Pomazan gave us away, they’ll come here.

They would have already come.

She was here today.

Why? Did she say that she’d do it?

She wants to meet Kleyman and Frolov first.

What if she is being watched?

She doesn’t believe us.

If the Germans arrest her relatives, she won’t do anything.

We shall overrun them. I’ll talk to her.

Masha, don’t talk to her.

I’ll talk to her myself. You shall leave the city immediately.

I have the documents. It will take them some time to identify Vera.

– I have some time. – This is why you shall leave immediately.

There is a boat by the bank. As before the war…

– you know the place. Go to the woods. – What will I say?

That I failed to fulfil the task because I was betrayed?

That I don’t have people anymore? That Pomazan is being watched?

No. While Kraube is alive, I don’t return to the unit.

Masha, why such obsession?

Give it to me. You know well that if we kill one of them,

the Germans will send another one. We’ll have to start from the beginning.

You shouldn’t hurry up.

You’re a looser. You’re ready to surrender any minute!

Masha. Masha! What will I tell the kids?

Go to the rear. I’ll stay here. I’ll do it myself.

She is nothing. She is nobody!

You allow yourself to be led by her, so she demands this or that.

I’ll make her do it. She has poison.

She is not against it. She is just scared for the kids.

Isn’t she scared for thousands of other kids who are dying of hunger?

Aren’t you afraid for your own children?

Just promise one thing to me…

– Who? – Arkhipova. Open.

Open!

Open up!

Give me some water.

Did you come to this?

– Where is Sergey? – Are you scared?

Are you alone?

Where is your sister?

She left. What do you want?

How much longer will you delay it?

Who are you to give me orders?

You’ll do it tomorrow.

You’ll take me to your boss and he’ll tell me what I shall do.

– I’ll take you to him when you do it. – Or else?

Will you shoot me?

Of course, I will. Both you and your Serezha.

What will you say to your kids? How did their father die?

What?

Do you hate me so much that you’re ready to sacrifice your own husband?

How did you get to know about Yakov and me?

– I guessed it. – Did you tell the Germans about it?

If I did, you wouldn’t stand here.

What is it? What do the Germans need your relatives for?

– Do you think they’ll have pity for them? – Will you?

You know whom to serve, don’t you?

You must take my entire family away from the village.

My mother, my sister and my nephew.

A very good girl died because of it today.

You’re a bitch!

Find a person who’ll do it for the sake of the idea! Ask your husband!

Maybe he’ll bring you somebody else.

My sister will meet the boss and write a note.

You’ll bring me the note. When I get the note, I’ll do it.

– Is that all? – No.

Think of a way to do it so that the kids stay alive.

You have poison.

I don’t have anymore. And one more thing…

– Yakov will take me to the forest. – If he can.

It is either he or nobody.

We used to live well.

He was wounded. I felt sorry for him.

I was taking care of him. He was lying on this sofa. He was dying.

He needed medicines. Therefore, I went to work for the Germans.

I saved him. Otherwise he’d have died.

He is alive, though. Who loves him more?

I understand you.

Can you understand me?

No.

You don’t seem to be human.

– We may lack the time. – This is your problem.

Why take the cow to the forest?

My sister is an important person. She said to take everything.

– Go to the forest. We’ll cover for you. – We won’t manage. We have no documents.

Run to the forest!

Go!

Go, go!

Go!

For the bloody things… for the cow… our people died! Bastards! I hate you!

My cow!

If you get hysterical once more, I’ll shoot you

in accordance with the war time laws. Do you get it? Stand up!

– Are you the boss? – He is.

Here you go.

I don’t get it. “To the chief commander… please deliver this letter”…

some nonsense. It looks like a schoolchild wrote it.

It is both in Russian and in German.

What else did you sister ask to tell us?

Nothing. She said to give it to the boss when we’re arrester.

– Where is Silantyev? – Andrei?

Get ready to go to the city. Be quick!

Settle them down and feed them. No tricks!

What does it mean – she is not Kleyman’s liaison?

Do you want to say that Arkhipova escaped?

A local employee of the secretariat was shot in her house.

Why didn’t you capture her alive?

She was shooting. She killed two our soldiers.

I don’t need silly details.

Therefore, we have no convincing proofs

– that she is Kraube’s lover and that… – Pomazan..

…is connected with the guerillas. Is that so?

I think we shall arrest both the cinema operator and Pomazan.

In absence of connection with the guerillas, he may make her

murder the Gauleiter out of despair.

How do you want to arrest her?

The Gauleiter ordered to get rid of all our guards in his house.

Shall we do it in his house? Without any reliable evidence?

Can you imagine what he’ll do? What about the cinema operator?

I don’t know. We stopped watching the cinema hall yesterday

for him not to suspect anything.

Herr von Gottenberd, I was informed that Herr Gauleiter ordered

to dismiss all the SS officers from the work in the commissariat.

Are you sure?

The Vermacht’s security didn’t let them enter the building.

Thank you.

What does it mean?

He is taking the conflict to a higher level. Berlin will get to know

about it tomorrow. A party commission will be here the day after tomorrow.

Therefore, think of your own safety before thinking about his.

We still have a chance to establish Pomazan’s connection with the guerillas.

Won’t she escape? These Russians are so unpredictable!

Our agent will follow Pomazan all the time. She won’t be able to escape.

Won’t she tell about it? Though…

to whom? What can she tell?

That we recruited her? In such a case she can go neither to the guerillas

nor to us nor to Kraube. You recruited her, didn’t you?

She signed the agent’s card. She will keep silent.

Andrei! At last! I was in despair.

Hello. Kleyman sent this.

He ordered to leave this letter for Pomazan from her sister.

– Thank you. – What’s happened?

I need a bomb, urgently. I don’t know what to do with it, though.

– What? Is there a chance? – Yes. It is urgent. I hope she will agree.

This is not an easy appliance. It is English.

One shall bring it to about 2 m distance.

– How does it work? – It works like this. It is magnetic.

The explosion is controlled.

It will explode in that direction.

Put the fuse on. It is chemical. It acts as a solvent.

Put the hand on the necessary time. Press the fuse inside.

There is a vial inside. The acid will spill and start the process.

Where does the back door lead?

– It leads to the back yard. – Here you go.

Is it a bomb?

It is. Don’t be scared. Come closer.

Won’t it kill anybody else in the house?

It won’t. The explosion is limited.

It only works in one direction. The main thing is to bring it closer to him.

– If you change your mind… – I am not afraid of you.

Galya!

Maria. Hello.

I just came for a minute. I’ll come back here. You’ll take me where I tell you.

– What? Today? – Today.

Did you fall in love with her?

Don’t talk nonsense. Sit down. There is milk on the table.

I hate her.

Damn it!

– I hate you. – Damn it!

I hate myself.

I think the bandage is in the drawer.

Damn it!

Yasha, say that you love me. Or do you love her?

Yasha…

Let’s do it like we used to before the war. As if nothing has happened.

Come in.

Frau Galina, why don’t you come up?

Good morning, Herr Birhoff.

Good morning. Open your bag, Frau.

Fray Galina, will you play with us? We want to play hide and seek. Come faster!

Look, why are you delaying her?

Morning, Frau Kraube. I’m just doing my job.

– She has to work too. Let her pass. – Aye-aye, Frau Kraube. Come on.

Good morning, Frau Kraube.

You’re late. The children are waiting. I won’t be home today.

I wanted to ask to let me go earlier today. I feel unwell.

Wait until I come back.

Stay at some distance from the kids for them not to catch a cold.

Sure.

Hey, you! The documents!

Oberstabfuehrer Schultz!

How did you manage to talk her into it?

This is not important. The main thing is that she agreed.

Do you realize what will happen to her if she is caught?

She’ll give us all away. Therefore, we can’t stay here.

What if she succeeds? She’ll come back and see nobody here.

I shall wait for her as we agreed. When she comes, I’ll take her to the forest.

What if she gets scared and brings the Germans here?

I can’t hide in a warm place all the war through…

– Yasha? – What?

Let’s go together.

You go. I’ll wait for her.

I involved her into it.

Besides, if I fail to open the cinema hall, they may suspect something.

And start looking earlier.

Did you tell her?

– About what? – You know.

Please don’t talk with secrets.

What do you mean, Masha?

This is enough. I have to go. Silentyev is waiting.

– I have to warn our guys at the camp. – Masha, what did you mean?

– She knows about us. – From whom?

I don’t know. Ask her!

Janetzke, supervise the preparations for my wife’s departure.

My family shall be safe and sound tomorrow.

Heil Hitler!

I won’t receive anybody.

Frau Galina?

Fray Kraube? I was cleaning.

– Don’t hurry up. – I’ve finished. I won’t interfere.

– You’re not interfering. – I’m leaving.

Frau Galina, I don’t want you to leave. Why are you so tense?

I am sorry. I’m afraid that somebody may come in.

Why do you think about it? I’m the host of this house and this country.

– You’re with me now. – But Frau Anita…

– She is not here. You’re here. – I don’t understand.

No. You understand. I can see it in your eyes.

Your passion is strong…

– Don’t do it! Let me do! – I can feel your passion!

This cow doesn’t understand anything!

Why can’t you contain yourself! We’ll be home soon.

No, don’t do it! No! I have to go!

This newspaper is old. The curfew is still in action.

The Bolshoy There returned from the evacuation. Will she manage it, I wonder?

Don’t pay much attention to it.

Can you imagine what important influence

this event will have if she does manage it? It’ll inspire the front!

It’ll support people in the rear! And here!

The Germans will know that they are no hosts of this land anymore.

It’ll be later. Later!

Until then their retaliation will be cruel.

Allow me to report. I got back. I did everything.

Did you see Arkhipova? When?

Today.

I want her to do it so much!

Where is Arkhipova?

She stayed by the river. She wants to meet them herself.

We shall set the posts.

Right. And one more thing. Gather a unit of saboteurs.

Do you want to attack tank workshops on the quiet?

No. If she does it, they’ll attack the ghetto first of all.

They blow will be terrible. We shall kill the guards.

– Maybe somebody will escape. – But this is…

I’ll talk to our guys.

We only need volunteers.

You will meet them.

When they come, act in accordance with the instruction.

I’m sorry, Herr Kraube. Frau Anita allowed me to leave earlier.

Drink with me. It’ll help you relax.

No, drink from my glass.

I want to get to know your thoughts.

Tell me, why are the locals so stubborn? They don’t want to change.

We kill ten persons for each our soldier they kill.

Don’t they have pity for their own people?

– I don’t know. – They have psychology of slaves.

They understand neither force nor the good…

Do you know what passion is?

Anita! You’re already back!

As you see. Where are the children?

– They are with Natasha. – How was your day?

There are some good deliveries in the store. I took a lot to take to Germany.

I think I know this look. Galina, help me take these things to my bedroom.

– I want you to look at these dresses. – Aye-aye.

You shall look at these dresses.

How do you like this one?

It is very beautiful.

– You are not talkative. – I’m sorry, Frau.

Do you think I don’t notice anything? You’re mistaken. I see it all.

– But, my Frau, I… – Don’t say anything.

I know my husband better than anybody.

She is a bastard but he is helpless like a child. He has always been like this.

I’m leaving tomorrow. Together with my children. I need somebody

to look after him. He likes you. Why not you, then?

You’re keeping silent. You must be surprised that I’m talking

about such things openly. You are a savage, you won’t understand.

Remember! No matter what he says to you, he’ll never be yours.

You’re nothing more than a servant. In his plays he writes about love

of a slave and her owner. However, his party and Hitler won’t let him do it.

He’ll never go against the party. That’s why I’m not afraid of you.

Go! Don’t come tomorrow. Take this. He’ll like it.

Try it on.

This is beautiful. Looks like drops of blood.

Did you hear that he is being sent to the front? You’re already leaving, aren’t you?

– Frau Anita let me go. – Herr Kraube ordered to take you home.

Thank you. I’ll walk.

Don’t refuse it. The driver is waiting. He’ll take you where you’ll tell him.
