All language subtitles for The Printing

[music playing]

[car door slams]

[knocking]

[KGB] OPEN UP, COMRAD CITIZEN.

YOU HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR.

[knocking continues]

[KGB] OPEN UP. STATE SECURITY.

[pounding]

THAT'S ENOUGH.

[pounding on door]

AHH!

I'M AFRAID, GRANDMOTHER,

I MUST ASK YOU TO GET OUT OF THAT CHAIR.

LEAVE HER ALONE!

SHE'S NOT HURTING YOU!

OF COURSE, COMRADE.

THIS IS HER HOME.

[groans in pain]

[Comrade Major] I SAID, GET UP!

[soldier] COMRADE MAJOR, DOWN HERE!

[Comrade Major] YAKOV MIKHAILEV!

SO, A BIG FISH IN THIS LITTLE POND.

[printing press whirs]

[Aleksandr] I HAVE ALREADY GIVEN YOU AN ANSWER, GRIGORY.

NO! THOSE CHURCHES ARE UNREGISTERED.

THEY BRING THEIR OWN TROUBLE ON THEMSELVES.

I WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH THEM

OR THEIR SECRET PRINTING.

ALEKSANDR IVANOVICH, WE OUGHT TO HELP THEM,

JUST A LITTLE.

THEY WILL GIVE US SOME OF THE BIBLES.

WE NEED MORE BIBLES!

THE AUTHORITIES HAVE PROMISED US MORE BIBLES.

THE AUTHORITIES HAVE BEEN PROMISING . . . !

THEY'VE BEEN PROMISING BIBLES

AS LONG AS ANY OF US CAN REMEMBER!

BUT THEY NEVER GET AROUND TO GIVING US ANY!

THESE PEOPLE WILL GIVE US BIBLES.

UNLESS THEY ARE CAUGHT AGAIN,

AND IF THEY ARE,

WE MIGHT BE IMPLICATED.

MY JOB AS THE SHEPHERD OF THIS CHURCH

IS TO PROTECT THE SHEEP.

PASTOR YURCHENKO, FORGIVE ME,

BUT OUR WELL- PROTECTED FLOCK IS STARVING.

ONE KGB-APPROVED SERMON A WEEK IS A MEAGER DIET.

[door shuts]

ALEKSANDR?

LYDIA.

PLEASE, COME IN.

BROTHER GRIGORY, BROTHER ANDRE.

ALEKSANDR, COULD I SPEAK WITH YOU PRIVATELY

FOR A MOMENT?

WELL, YES, OF COURSE.

EXCUSE ME.

LYDIA, WHAT DO YOU THINK OF MY SERMONS?

THEY'RE FINE.

WELL, THEY COULD BE . . .

YOU COULD HAVE A LITTLE MORE . . .

MORE WHAT?

MORE SUBSTANCE, PERHAPS?

PERHAPS.

IT'S A LETTER FROM DMITRI.

ARE THEY EVER GOING TO IMPROVE THIS PLACE?

THEY'VE PROMISED US NEW LIGHTS.

THEY OUGHT TO GIVE US A LITTLE PAINT!

A SPECIAL HOSPITAL!

AN ORDERLY?!

AT LEAST HE'S OUT OF THAT AWFUL PRISON.

A SPECIAL HOSPITAL IS A PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL . . .

A CRAZY HOUSE.

BESIDES, THAT'S WHERE THEY KEEP THEIR POLITICAL PRISONERS!

THEY'VE SHORTENED HIS SENTENCE.

HE'LL BE HOME IN TWO YEARS.

WELL, I HOPE HE'S LEARNED HIS LESSON.

HE SHOULD STAY AWAY

FROM THOSE HOOLIGAN FRIENDS OF HIS!

IF NOT, BETTER IF HE STAYS WHERE HE IS!

ALEKSANDR! YOU DON'T MEAN THAT!

HE'S OUR SON.

WILL YOU WRITE HIM A LETTER?

HE DOESN'T LISTEN TO ME.

IF HE LISTENED TO ME,

HE WOULDN'T BE IN THERE AT ALL.

AT LEAST SEND HIM A MESSAGE.

GIVE ME SOMETHING TO TELL HIM FROM YOU.

TELL HIM . . .

I HOPE HE'S LEARNED

TO OBEY THE AUTHORITIES.

HE'LL NEVER GET ANYWHERE WITH HIS CONFRONTATIONS!

HE'S GOT TO LEARN TO COMPROMISE A LITTLE

WITH HIS HIGH AND MIGHTY PRINCIPLES!

TELL HIM THAT.

[groaning]

[groaning]

NO! NO!

YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE CLEANING!

CLEANING WHAT?

I'M NEW HERE.

THOSE CRAZIES.

THEY'VE BEEN STRAPPED

IN THEIR BEDS ALL NIGHT.

GET BUSY.

[Doctor] CITIZEN MIKHAILEV,

WHY DO YOU THINK YOU ARE BEING HOSPITALIZED?

SO THAT YOU CAN PREVENT ME FROM SERVING GOD.

SO YOU ADMIT BELIEF IN GOD?

I HAVE NEVER DENIED IT.

OUR SOCIETY IS BASED

UPON SCIENTIFIC PHILOSOPHY.

WE CONSIDER RELIGIOUS CONVICTION

TO BE PATHOLOGICAL.

I HAVE ALREADY BEEN FOUND

TO BE SANE

BY A GROUP OF COURT-APPOINTED PSYCHIATRISTS!

YOU HAVE BEEN REFERRED HERE

TO THIS SPECIAL HOSPITAL

FOR A MORE THOROUGH DIAGNOSIS.

IT IS POSSIBLE YOU ARE SUFFERING

FROM LATENT SCHIZOPHRENIA.

[Yakov] OH, YES! I'VE HEARD OF THAT ONE.

A VERY CONVENIENT DISEASE.

IT HAS NO SYMPTOMS!

THIS IS A WASTE OF TIME.

CITIZEN MIKHAILEV, YOU ARE ARRESTED

FOR PRINTING BIBLES.

DO YOU DENY IT?

IT IS OUR RIGHT TO HAVE BIBLES!

IF THE GOVERNMENT WON'T PRINT THEM,

WE MUST DO IT OURSELVES!

LISTEN, COMRADE MIKHAILEV,

WE ARE OVERCROWDED HERE, AS IT IS.

IT WOULD BE A SHAME

TO KEEP YOU HERE ON DRUGS

THE REST OF YOUR NATURAL LIFE.

BETWEEN US, I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE CRAZY.

I RESPECT YOUR BELIEFS.

I DO NOT ASK YOU TO DENY THEM.

YOU SEE, I AM A REALIST.

WE WILL RELEASE YOU . . .

IF YOU WILL GIVE ME YOUR PROMISE,

YOUR WORD OF HONOR

AS A CHRISTIAN BELIEVER,

THAT YOU WILL STOP PRINTING BIBLES.

IF I PROMISE THAT,

AS A CHRISTIAN I WOULD HAVE NO HONOR.

YOU SEE OUR POSITION, MIKHAILEV.

A SANE MAN WOULD NOT

REJECT A CHANCE FOR FREEDOM.

A SANE MAN OR WOMAN

WOULD NOT REJECT A GOD WHO LOVES HIM!

ENOUGH.

CLEARLY, HE IS INSANE.

IN YOUR CONDITION

YOU ARE DANGEROUS TO OUR SOCIETY.

WE MUST GIVE YOU A LITTLE "TREATMENT."

I THINK WE WILL USE THE WET PACK.

GET THE STRIPS AND WATER.

WATER'S IN THE SINK. FILL IT UP.

COME AROUND AND HELP HIM!

START WRAPPING.

[groan]

TIGHTER!

WHAT ARE WE DOING, ANYWAY?

WHEN THESE STRIPS DRY, THEY SHRINK.

IT'S LIKE HAVING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE TAKEN

OVER YOUR WHOLE BODY.

"LET NOT YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED:

YE BELIEVE IN GOD, BELIEVE ALSO IN ME."

"LO, I AM WITH YOU ALWAY,

EVEN UNTO THE END . . ."

"BUT THEY THAT WAIT UPON THE LORD

SHALL RENEW THEIR STRENGTH;

THEY SHALL MOUNT UP WITH WINGS AS EAGLES;

THEY SHALL RUN AND NOT BE WEARY;

THEY SHALL WALK, AND NOT . . ."

"LO, I AM WITH YOU ALWAY,

EVEN UNTO THE END . . ."

"THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD;

I SHALL NOT WANT.

HE MAKETH ME TO LIE DOWN IN GREEN PASTURES . . .

HE RESTORETH MY SOUL . . .

YEA, THOUGH I WALK THROUGH

THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH,

I WILL FEAR NO EVIL FOR THOU ART . . ."

"LO, I AM WITH YOU ALWAY . . ."

UHH!

MIKHAILEV, YOU HAVE A SIMPLE CHOICE.

IF YOU PROMISE TO STOP PRINTING RELIGIOUS PROPAGANDA,

YOU WILL SHOW

THAT YOU HAVE COME BACK TO YOUR SENSES.

IF NOT, WE WILL CONTINUE TO TREAT YOU

FOR YOUR INSANITY.

"GOD HATH CHOSEN THE FOOLISH THINGS OF THE WORLD

TO CONFOUND THE WISE . . .

WEAK THINGS . . . TO CONFOUND THE . . . MIGHTY . . .

BASE THINGS . . . AND THINGS WHICH ARE NOT . . ."

TURN ON THE LIGHTS.

[Yakov] "TO BRING TO NOUGHT THINGS THAT ARE."

". . . NECESSITY IS LAID UPON ME;

YEA, WOE IS UNTO ME, IF I PREACH NOT THE GOSPEL!"

WE'LL BE BACK.

DON'T LET HIM PASS OUT.

I REFUSE TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS!

YOU ALREADY HAVE.

[coughing]

COMRADE . . .

COMRADE, CAN YOU HEAR ME?

TORTURER!

MURDERER!

I KNOW YOU!

YOU'RE JOSEPH STALIN!

BUTCHER!

GET AWAY FROM ME! GET AWAY FROM ME!

[Yakov] WHICH BED ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?

I WAS LOOKING FOR YOURS.

WHO ARE YOU?

THE OLD MAN THINKS I'M STALIN.

HOW DO YOU FEEL?

I'M NOT SURE I CAN FEEL ANYTHING.

LET'S SIT UP.

AHH!

AAAAAH!

THE STRAPS WERE CUTTING YOUR CIRCULATION.

OHHH!

MMM!

AHH!

OH, THANK YOU!

I ASSUME YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HERE.

AHH!

WHY ARE YOU BEING A GOOD SAMARITAN?

GOOD SAMARITAN?

OH, EXCUSE ME, THAT'S A PHRASE

FROM THE NEW TESTAMENT

IN THE BIBLE.

YES, I KNOW,

I LEARNED IT FROM MY FATHER.

TRY TO STAND UP.

AHH!

YOUR FATHER?

WHO IS YOUR FATHER?

ALEKSANDR YURCHENKO.

HE'S A BAPTIST PASTOR IN LENINGRAD.

THE SON OF ALEKSANDR YURCHENKO?

YOU KNOW HIM?

YES,

YOUR FATHER IS WELL-KNOWN.

MY FATHER IS WEAK.

HE DOES ANYTHING THEY TELL HIM TO.

I DON'T WANT TO BE LIKE THAT.

YOU HELPED THEM TODAY!

I GOT INTO IT BEFORE I KNEW

WHAT I WAS DOING.

I SHOULD HAVE PROTESTED.

THEN YOU WOULD BE WHERE I AM.

I'M STRONG ENOUGH!

SOONER OR LATER EVERY MAN COMES TO THE LIMIT

OF HIS OWN STRENGTH.

IN A PLACE LIKE THIS,

THAT LIMIT CAN COME QUITE QUICKLY.

YOU CAN RESIST THEM!

I CAME TO MY LIMIT A LONG TIME AGO . . .

IN THE CAMPS.

YOUNG MAN, LISTEN TO ME.

WHATEVER STRENGTH I HAVE NOW IS FROM GOD.

UH! UH!

OH! OH!

[Vankin] WHO'S THERE?

THERE, NOW STAY PUT, YOU MAGGOT!

HE GOT LOOSE.

HE WAS UP WALKING?

HOW'D HE GET LOOSE?

WELL, I DON'T KNOW!

SO . . . YOU WANT MORE FREEDOM?

TOMORROW WE'LL SEE THAT YOU GET IT!

WHERE ARE THEY TAKING HIM?

THE BOX.

WAIT . . .

HOW LONG WILL THEY . . .

HOW LONG WILL THEY KEEP HIM THERE?

I DON'T KNOW.

THEY NEVER COME BACK HERE.

WHY ARE THEY TAKING SO LONG?

WHAT IF THEY CHANGE THEIR MINDS?

THEN WE'LL GO HOME.

YOU DON'T MEAN THAT.

NO, I DON'T.

I WANT MY SON BACK.

HE CAUSED ME SO MUCH TROUBLE

BEFORE HE WENT AWAY!

MY CHURCH IS MY WHOLE LIFE!

I COULDN'T STAND TO LOSE IT!

WHY CAN'T HE ACCEPT THAT?

WHAT'S TAKING SO LONG?

[sighs]

ALEKSANDR, PROMISE ME YOU'LL GIVE HIM A CHANCE.

[engine starting]

[guard] YOUR SON WILL BE WAITING

AT THE NEXT GATE.

AND WE THANK THEE, OUR FATHER,

FOR THE SAFE RETURN

OF OUR SON TO THIS HOME.

MAY WE FIND UNITY AND HARMONY

ONCE AGAIN IN OUR FAMILY.

WE PRAY THESE THINGS

IN THE BLESSED AND HOLY NAME

OF OUR PRECIOUS SAVIOR,

CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD. AMEN.

IT IS GOOD TO HAVE YOU HOME AGAIN, DMITRI.

IT'S GOING TO TAKE A LITTLE TIME TO ADJUST.

TABLE MANNERS WERE A LITTLE DIFFERENT IN THERE.

THINGS ARE DIFFERENT OUT HERE, TOO.

YOU'LL FIND A LOT OF THINGS HAVE CHANGED.

OUR PATIENCE HAS PAID OFF.

OH?

ALL THAT PROTESTING YOU DID . . .

IT'S JUST NOT NECESSARY ANYMORE.

DIDN'T DO ANY GOOD ANYWAY.

JUST GOT YOU THROWN IN PRISON

WHILE ALL OF YOUR HOOLIGAN FRIENDS GOT OFF!

THINGS DO SEEM TO BE BETTER, DMITRI.

THE GOVERNMENT SEEMS MORE REASONABLE.

THEY'RE EVEN ALLOWING

AN AMERICAN EVANGELIST

TO COME TO OUR CHURCH!

AN AMERICAN?

HE'S PREACHING AT YOUR CHURCH?

AND A PRESS CONFERENCE, TOO!

YOU WON'T RECOGNIZE THE CHURCH, DMITRI!

JUST LAST WEEK WE GOT NEW LIGHTS!

LAST WEEK?

YOU WERE BEGGING FOR NEW LIGHTS

WHEN I WENT AWAY!

THAT WAS TWO YEARS AGO!

THAT'S WHAT I MEAN BY HAVING PATIENCE!

EVENTUALLY THEY GIVE US WHAT WE NEED!

EVENTUALLY?

WHEN THE AMERICANS ARE COMING

WITH THEIR TELEVISION CAMERAS!

DMITRI, I'VE ACCEPTED THE FACT

THAT YOU'RE NOT INTERESTED IN MY CHRISTIAN BELIEFS,

BUT IF YOU'RE GOING TO LIVE IN THIS HOUSE,

YOU'VE GOT TO SHOW ME SOME RESPECT!

IT'S NOT YOUR BELIEFS THAT BOTHER ME.

IT'S WHAT YOU DO AND DON'T DO.

IF YOU WERE IN MY POSITION,

YOU'D SEE THINGS DIFFERENTLY.

I DO WHAT I THINK IS BEST FOR MY CHURCH!

THAT'S MY DUTY AS A PASTOR!

WHEN I WAS IN PRISON,

I MET A MAN, A CHRISTIAN PASTOR.

THEY WERE TORTURING HIM.

ALL HE HAD TO DO WAS TELL THEM

WHAT THEY WANTED TO HEAR

AND HE COULD GO FREE!

JUST SAY THE WORDS AND SIGN A PAPER.

BUT HE WOULDN'T DO IT!

WHAT A WASTE!

NO!

NOT A WASTE!

HE BELIEVED IN CHRIST,

AND HE COULDN'T LIE ABOUT IT!

I'M SURE HE WAS A VERY BRAVE MAN,

AND I CAN SEE HOW YOU WERE IMPRESSED BY HIM,

BUT SOME OF US HAVE TO DEAL

WITH THE REALITIES OF EVERYDAY LIFE.

WE DON'T HAVE TIME FOR SOME DRAMATIC GESTURE!

IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A DRAMATIC GESTURE.

WHAT ABOUT THE RESTRICTIONS

THE KGB PUTS ON YOUR PREACHING?

I PREACH WHATEVER GOD LAYS ON MY HEART!

PAPA!

THE KGB FORBIDS YOU

FROM MENTIONING CERTAIN PARTS

OF THE BIBLE FROM THE PULPIT,

AND YOU KNOW IT!

ALL RIGHT.

SOME OF WHAT YOU SAY MAY BE TRUE IN THE PAST,

BUT THINGS ARE CHANGING,

AND WE SHOULD BE GRATEFUL!

WHY?

THEY'RE ONLY ALLOWING YOU THE RIGHTS

YOU SHOULD HAVE HAD ALL ALONG!

IT'S BECAUSE OF OUR PATIENCE

THAT THINGS ARE GETTING BETTER!

IF THERE ARE CHANGES,

I THINK IT'S BECAUSE

OF PEOPLE LIKE THAT PREACHER IN THE PRISON,

BECAUSE OF HIS COURAGE AND HIS PROTESTS!

MAYBE GOD DOES HEAR THE PRAYERS

OF A MAN LIKE THAT.

LOOK, DMITRI,

COME TO HEAR THE AMERICAN.

I THINK YOU'LL BE SURPRISED

AT WHAT YOU HEAR.

NOT CHURCH.

I WON'T GO TO CHURCH!

THE PRESS CONFERENCE THEN?

COME TO THAT.

[American Evangelist] I'M PLEASED

TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY

TO ANNOUNCE THAT THE DELEGATES

OF THE ALL UNION COUNCIL AND I

HAVE CONCLUDED AN HISTORIC AGREEMENT

WITH THE SOVIET GOVERNMENT.

A LARGE SHIPMENT OF BIBLES

PRINTED IN THE RUSSIAN LANGUAGE

HAS BEEN SHIPPED

BY RAILWAY FROM WESTERN EUROPE.

THEY SHOULD BE ARRIVING

HERE IN THE SOVIET UNION AT ANY TIME.

LIKE MANY OF MY FELLOW AMERICANS,

I MINISTERED FOR YEARS,

BELIEVING THAT BIBLES

WERE NOT PERMITTED

IN THE SOVIET UNION.

BUT MY GRACIOUS HOSTS,

OR SHOULD I SAY, MY FRIENDS,

HAVE ASSURED ME

THERE IS NOTHING

IN THE SOVIET CONSTITUTION

THAT PROHIBITS SOVIET CITIZENS

FROM HAVING BIBLES.

MOTHER, THEY'VE NEVER ALLOWED BIBLES!

[Lydia] SHH!

YOU KNOW, I'D LIKE

TO DO SOMETHING SPECIAL HERE.

I WONDER,

HOW MANY OF YOU HERE TODAY . . .

HOW MANY OF YOU OWN A BIBLE?

HOLD UP YOUR HAND

IF YOU HAVE A BIBLE IN YOUR FAMILY.

WELL, THIS IS . . .

THIS IS WONDERFUL!

IT CERTAINLY CONFIRMS EVERYTHING

THAT MY SOVIET COLLEAGUES HAVE BEEN SAYING.

I HAVE NOT SEEN ONE SHRED OF EVIDENCE

OF RELIGIOUS OPPRESSION

DURING MY ENTIRE TOUR OF THE SOVIET UNION.

MOTHER, THAT MAN IN THE FRONT ROW,

WHO IS THAT?

THAT'S THE MINISTER

FOR SOVIET RELIGIOUS AFFAIRS,

GENERAL SMIROV.

HE'S VERY POWERFUL!

IT'S A LIE! IT'S A LIE!

CHRISTIANS SUFFER PERSECUTION!

IT'S ILLEGAL TO OWN A BIBLE!

IT'S A LIE!

ALEKSANDR YURCHENKO IS ON HIS WAY.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS IS?

OF COURSE . . . A B--A BIBLE!

HAVE YOU LOOKED AT IT?

COMRADE GENERAL, THAT BOOK EXEMPLIFIES THE DECADENCE

OF WESTERN CULTURE.

SUCH RELIGIOUS TEACHINGS HAVE NO PLACE

IN THE MODERN SOVIET SOCIETY.

THE NEW SOVIET MAN REJECTS SUCH . . .

STOP IT, GUSHCHIN!

HAVE YOU LOOKED AT THIS BOOK,

HOW IT'S MADE?

IT'S RUSSIAN!

THEY'RE PRINTING THESE THINGS RIGHT HERE

IN THE SOVIET UNION . . . IN LENINGRAD,

RIGHT UNDER OUR NOSES!

WE'VE ARRESTED MANY

OF THESE BIBLE PRINTING TEAMS.

YES, AND WHENEVER WE DO,

ANOTHER POPS UP SOMEWHERE ELSE!

BAH, I HATE THESE CHRISTIANS!

WHATEVER WE DO TO THEM

THEY SAY, "IT'S GOD'S WILL."

THEY'RE TOO STUBBORN

TO KNOW WHEN THEY'RE BEATEN.

COMRADE GENERAL, HE'S HERE.

WELL, AT LEAST HERE'S ONE CHRISTIAN

THAT KNOWS HOW TO GET ALONG WITH US!

WELCOME, ALEKSANDR IVANOVICH.

HAVE A CHAIR, MY FRIEND!

HOW IS YOUR HEALTH?

BETTER.

YOU CREATED AN EMBARRASSMENT

FOR US YESTERDAY . . .

YOUR SON AND THAT GIRL!

COMRADE SMIROV! IT WAS NOT AS IT SEEMED!

DMITRI DOESN'T EVEN KNOW THAT GIRL!

WELL, SUPPOSE WE ACCEPT THIS STORY?

THE WHOLE WORLD SAW YOUR SON

HOLDING UP THAT SUBVERSIVE BANNER.

IT WAS BAD JUDGMENT ON YOUR PART

TO HAVE HIM THERE AT ALL!

AND BAD JUDGMENT IS SOMETHING WE CANNOT TOLERATE

IN A MAN IN YOUR POSITION!

TOO BAD, REALLY!

THINGS SEEMED TO HAVE GONE SO WELL LATELY.

YOUR CHURCH'S IMPROVEMENTS,

YOUR CONGREGATION IS DOCILE,

NO TROUBLEMAKERS.

YOU HAVE EVERYTHING YOU NEED . . .

ENOUGH BIBLES!

AND NOW THIS PROBLEM WITH YOUR SON!

AND I WONDER,

WHAT DO YOU PLAN TO DO ABOUT IT?

I . . . YOU KNOW HOW YOUNG PEOPLE ARE TODAY!

THEY WON'T LISTEN TO THEIR . . .

NOW YOU LISTEN TO ME!

THAT BOY'S AN EMBARRASSMENT TO US!

IF YOU CAN'T HANDLE HIM, WE WILL!

BUT HE'S MY SON!

WHAT DO YOU EXPECT ME TO DO?

WELL, THAT DEPENDS

UPON HOW MUCH YOU VALUE YOUR APPOINTMENT,

PASTOR!

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH DMITRI?

NOTHING, FOR NOW.

I'VE RELEASED HIM.

HE'S YOUR PROBLEM NOW!

ARE YOU GOING TO RELEASE THE GIRL?

I ALREADY HAVE.

DO YOU THINK THAT'S . . .

YOU SURPRISE ME!

THE PICTURE OF THAT BOY

AND THAT GIRL HAVE APPEARED

IN ALL THE PAPERS OF THE WEST.

COULDN'T DO ANYTHING ELSE

UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES.

YOU WANT ME TO KEEP AN EYE ON THEM?

OF COURSE.

WE CAN ALWAYS ARREST THEM

WHEN THEY'VE BECOME OLD NEWS.

OH, BY THE WAY, THERE'S SOMEING ELSE.

THE GIRL'S FATHER.

MIKHAILEV?

HE'S DUE FOR RELEASE SOON.

WHY DON'T WE JUST EXTEND HIS SENTENCE AGAIN?

WE CAN'T NOW.

THERE'S A POLICY OF TOLERANCE

FOR THESE RELIGIOUS CRIMINALS.

I HATE TO SEE HIM GO FREE!

HE WAS HARD TO CATCH LAST TIME.

I KNOW THESE CHRISTIANS!

HE'LL GO RIGHT BACK TO HIS BIBLE PRINTING

AS A COCKROACH GOES BACK TO HIS HOLE.

AND WHEN HE DOES,

HE'LL LEAD YOU TO A BIG PRINTING OPERATION.

WHAT ABOUT OUR NEW POLICY?

POLITICIANS COME AND GO.

KGB IS ALWAYS HERE.

AS LONG AS WE EXIST,

WE DECIDE WHAT POLICY REALLY IS,

AND I WANT THIS BIBLE PRINTING OPERATION TO STOP!

[television--foreign language]

[door opens and closes]

DMITRI, IS THAT YOU?

NO, IT'S NOT!

WHERE IS HE?

I DON'T KNOW. HE DIDN'T SAY.

I'LL BET HE DIDN'T!

HE HASN'T BEEN IN THIS HOUSE A WEEK

BEFORE HE'S UP TO HIS OLD TRICKS!

ALEKSANDR, HE HASN'T DONE ANYTHING.

DON'T TELL ME THAT!

I COULD SEE HIM UP THERE!

WELL, I'LL TELL YOU

THIS IS GOING TO STOP RIGHT NOW OR . . .

[phone rings]

HELLO.

NO, HE'S NOT HERE.

I'VE NO IDEA! WHO IS THIS?

YURI AIZENBERG.

I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN.

SO, YOU REMEMBER ME, ALEKSANDR IVANOVICH.

I'M FLATTERED!

I REMEMBER YOU,

AND I WANT YOU TO LEAVE MY SON ALONE!

HE WANTS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU.

MAYBE . . .

BUT I'LL HAVE TO HEAR THAT FROM HIM!

I DON'T WANT YOU CALLING HERE AGAIN!

I WON'T LET HIM TALK TO YOU!

YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO TELL ME THAT.

I'LL JUST KEEP TRYING UNTIL I . . .

[Aleksandr hangs up]

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?

JUST OUT . . .

GETTING REACQUAINTED WITH . . .

I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING!

YOU'RE OUT GETTING IN TROUBLE AGAIN!

ONLY THIS TIME

YOU'RE GETTING ME IN TROUBLE, TOO!

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

I MEAN THE WAY YOU ACTED

AT THE PRESS CONFERENCE!

I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN

YOU WEREN'T THERE JUST TO PLEASE ME!

YOU ONLY WENT THERE TO PROTEST,

DIDN'T YOU!

I ONLY WENT THERE TO PLEASE MOTHER.

BUT AFTER WHAT I HEARD THERE,

I'M GLAD SOMEBODY PROTESTED.

THAT WHOLE THING WAS NOTHING BUT A CIRCUS!

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

NONE OF THOSE PEOPLE WILL EVER SEE ANY BIBLES.

YOU KNOW THEY WON'T!

THIS TIME THEY PROMISED IT WILL BE DIFFERENT!

IT WAS THE BIGGEST LIE I'VE EVER SEEN.

EVERYONE IN THIS COUNTRY LONGS

FOR A WORD OF TRUTH.

AND YOU'D THINK

THEY COULD AT LEAST GET IT IN CHURCH.

[phone rings]

DON'T ANSWER THAT.

[phone rings]

WHY NOT?

[Aleksandr] JUST LET IT RING!

HELLO.

YES.

YURI!

YES, OF COURSE, I WOULD.

WHERE?

ABOUT AN HOUR.

ALL RIGHT.

I'LL BE THERE!

SO YOU CHOOSE TO GO BACK TO YOUR OLD WAYS.

I CHOOSE TO GO AND SEE AN OLD FRIEND!

IF YOU LEAVE THIS HOUSE NOW,

DON'T BOTHER TO COME BACK!

DON'T WORRY!

I DON'T WANT TO SEE THIS PLACE AGAIN!

WELL, I DON'T WANT YOU HERE EITHER!

IF YOU AREN'T LIVING HERE,

MAYBE THEY WON'T BLAME ME

FOR YOUR CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR!

I'M GALINA MIKHAILEV.

I'M SERGEI.

COME IN.

THIS IS MY WIFE, LUBA.

THESE ARE FOR YOU.

THANK YOU!

I WANT TO THANK YOU BOTH

FOR OFFERING US YOUR HOME.

I HOPE YOU FIND IT SUITABLE.

THIS WAY.

THIS END, I THOUGHT, COULD BE CONCEALED.

A LITTLE SMALL PERHAPS.

NO, THIS IS MORE SPACE THAN USUAL.

THERE'S ELECTRIC POWER HERE.

YES, THIS WILL DO NICELY.

THERE IS ONE MORE THING.

I WANT TO BE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND,

IF THE KGB FIND US,

YOU MAY BE ARRESTED,

AND THEY CERTAINLY WILL CONFISCATE THIS HOUSE.

WE KNOW THE RISK.

THIS IS OUR SERVICE TO CHRIST.

GOOD.

GOOD!

WHATEVER HAPPENS WILL BE FOR GOD'S GLORY.

HOW DID YOU KNOW I WAS OUT?

WHERE DID YOU GET THIS?

STILL THE MAN

WHO CAN GET ANYTHING

FOR ANYBODY AT ANY TIME!

WHAT I WANT TO KNOW IS

WITH A STUNT LIKE THIS,

WHY AREN'T YOU ON YOUR WAY TO SIBERIA?

WHO KNOWS WHY THE KGB DO WHAT THEY DO.

THEY JUST LET ME GO . . .

WITH A STERN WARNING.

SO, WHAT DO YOU DO NOW?

WE GO BACK TO WORK WHERE WE LEFT OFF.

IT WILL BE GOOD TO SEE THE OTHERS AGAIN.

DMITRI, UH, THERE'VE BEEN A LOT OF CHANGES

SINCE YOU WENT AWAY.

YES, I'M SURE.

YURI, THERE'S MORE TO DO THAN WE THOUGHT.

IF YOU COULD SEE WHAT I SAW AT THAT HOSPITAL . . .

DMITRI . . .

INNOCENT MEN KEPT ON DRUGS LIKE VEGETABLES!

THEY DON'T NEED PRISONS ANYMORE.

THEY JUST "TREAT" PEOPLE

FOR THEIR CRIMES AGAINST THE STATE.

WE'VE GOT TO LET PEOPLE KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON!

DMITRI, THE OTHERS, . . .

WITHOUT YOU THEY DRIFTED APART.

PROTESTING JUST DOESN'T SEEM

TO BE WORTH IT ANYMORE.

THERE HAVE BEEN SOME CHANGES!

THE CHANGES ARE SUPERFICIAL!

THE KGB CAN STILL DO WHATEVER THEY WANT.

MAYBE, BUT THE GROUP DOESN'T EXIST ANYMORE.

SOME ARE EVEN MARRIED--HAVE FAMILIES.

THEN YOU AND I CAN DO IT.

NOT ANY MORE.

I WANT TO GO TO ISRAEL.

I'VE APPLIED FOR AN EXIT VISA.

DINA ALREADY HAS HERS.

DINA?

I, TOO, AM MARRIED.

I HAVE A DUTY TO HER NOW.

WHY YOU . . . YOU'RE MARRIED?

I DON'T BELIEVE IT!

CONGRATULATIONS!

WHY DON'T YOU COME HOME WITH ME?

I WANT YOU TO MEET HER.

SHE'S A GREAT COOK!

WELL, I CAN'T GO BACK TO MY FATHER'S HOUSE.

THEN IT'S SETTLED. HUH?

COME ON.

WHY DIDN'T YOU INVITE ME TO THE WEDDING?

DIDN'T YOU GET MY INVITATION?

[Yuri laughs]

YOU MEAN YOU AREN'T LEGALLY MARRIED?

THEY REFUSED TO MARRY US

AT THE PALACE OF WEDDINGS.

BECAUSE YOU'RE JEWISH.

MOSTLY BECAUSE WE WANT TO LEAVE THE COUNTRY.

BUT WE FINALLY FOUND AN OLD RABBI

WHO AGREED TO PERFORM THE CEREMONY.

SO, TELL ME, BROTHER,

AM I MARRIED OR NOT?

STATE SAYS, "NO."

ME? I SAY WE ARE VERY MUCH MARRIED!

DINA!

SHE'S PROBABLY IN THE KITCHEN.

[Yuri] DINA, WE HAVE A GUEST.

PLEASE, THEY'RE ALMOST DONE.

REMEMBER THE FRIEND I TOLD YOU ABOUT?

DMITRI YURCHENKO.

THIS IS HIM.

I'VE HEARD A LOT ABOUT YOU!

[Old woman] YOUR VEGETABLES ARE COOKED ENOUGH.

YOU WILL STAY AND EAT WITH US.

FOUR FAMILIES.

ONE KITCHEN.

SHE SEEMS VERY NICE.

AH, SHE'S THE BEST!

EVEN IF I WANT TO MIND MY OWN BUSINESS,

I CAN'T.

IT'S LIKE SOMEBODY WON'T LET ME.

WHO'S THAT GIRL?

I WISH I KNEW.

I'D LIKE TO SEE HER AGAIN.

I'VE GOT TO FIND A JOB.

YOU WON'T FIND A GOOD JOB . . .

NOT WITH YOUR RECORD.

I KNOW.

I SHOULD BE A HYPOCRITE LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE.

HAVE A JOB, GET MARRIED,

RAISE MY CHILDREN

TO BE LOYAL SOVIET CITIZENS.

YOU'RE NOT THAT KIND OF PERSON.

THAT'S EASY FOR YOU TO SAY. YOU'RE LEAVING.

BUT WHAT ABOUT ME?

EITHER I GO ALONG WITH THE SYSTEM

LIKE MY FATHER DOES,

OR I STARVE.

STAY HERE, WITH US.

JOBS AREN'T A PROBLEM,

IF YOU AREN'T PARTICULAR.

WELL, HOW DO I GET ONE?

WELL, WHEN THE ATHEISTIC GOVERNMENT

WOULDN'T ALLOW US TO MARRY,

WE RESORTED TO THE CHURCH, YES?

WELL, I'M NOT GOING TO THE CHURCH . . .

AND WHEN THE SOCIALIST STATE

WON'T GIVE ME A JOB,

WHAT DO I RESORT TO?

CAPITALISM!

THE BLACK MARKET!

[chickens clucking]

IT LOOKED EASY!

HOW'D YOU DO?

I JUST GOT A HALF MONTH'S WAGE

FOR A PAIR OF BLUE JEANS!

NOW, YOU SEE WHY WE LIKE CAPITALISM SO MUCH.

WE'LL BRING MORE MERCHANDISE TOMORROW

NOW THAT YOU SEE HOW EASY IT IS.

DMITRI.

EXCUSE ME. I'LL SEE YOU LATER.

LET ME HELP YOU WITH THAT.

THANK YOU. I DON'T NEED ANY HELP.

DON'T YOU REMEMBER ME?

SHOULD I?

YES, YOU SHOULD . . .

AT THE PRESS CONFERENCE.

YOU THREW YOUR BANNER TO ME.

I JUST THREW IT.

YOU WERE IN THE WRONG PLACE.

NO. I SAW YOUR EYES.

YOU THREW IT TO ME DELIBERATELY!

I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHY.

I DON'T KNOW.

YOU WEREN'T APPLAUDING WITH THE OTHERS.

I THOUGHT YOU WERE ON OUR SIDE.

OUR SIDE?

SO I WAS WRONG.

I'VE GOT TO GO NOW.

MAY I SIT HERE?

I PREFER NOT.

WHO WERE YOU REPRESENTING

AT THE PRESS CONFERENCE?

PLEASE . . . I CAN'T . . . NOT NOW.

ALL RIGHT, THEN WHEN?

GET OFF WHEN I DO.

WAIT!

YOU PROMISED TO TALK!

WHAT IS IT ABOUT ME YOU'RE SO DESPERATE TO KNOW?

WELL, IT MIGHT BE NICE TO KNOW YOUR NAME?

LOOK, WHEN I THREW THAT BANNER AT YOU

AT THE PRESS CONFERENCE,

I THOUGHT YOU WERE THERE TO PROTEST!

I DIDN'T REALIZE

ALEKSANDR YURCHENKO WAS YOUR FATHER.

I WAS MISTAKEN.

I'M SORRY.

NO, WAIT!

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!

I DON'T UNDERSTAND

HOW YOU AND YOUR FATHER

CAN CALL YOURSELVES CHRISTIANS . . .

HOW YOU CAN SO BLATANTLY

DENY THE PERSECUTION OF BELIEVERS

YOUR FATHER KNOWS PERSONALLY!

HIS FRIENDS . . .

LIKE MY FATHER!

THAT PRESS CONFERENCE SERVED NO PURPOSE

EXCEPT TO PROVE THE WEAKNESS

OF THE REGISTERED CHURCHES!

LOOK, DON'T PUT ME IN THE SAME MOLD AS MY FATHER.

I'VE TRIED PROTESTING AGAINST ALL THAT.

I SPENT TWO YEARS IN A PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL

PAYING FOR IT.

AND I DON'T CLAIM TO BE A CHRISTIAN.

MY FATHER AND I . . .

DON'T GET ALONG TOO WELL.

I SEE.

WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

HOME.

I'LL WALK YOU THERE.

YOU WILL HAVE TO SHOW ME THE WAY.

[Dmitri] AFTER THE PRESS CONFERENCE,

WHAT DID THEY DO TO YOU?

[Galina] NOT MUCH.

THEY ARRESTED ME,

KEPT ME A FEW HOURS,

ASKED ME A LOT OF QUESTIONS.

THEN THEY LET ME GO.

YOU ACT LIKE THAT'S NOTHING.

WELL, IT ISN'T.

THERE ARE PLENTY OF MEN AND WOMEN

WHO HAVE SERVED FIVE-YEAR TERMS IN LABOR CAMPS

FOR DOING MUCH LESS THAN I DID.

MY OWN FATHER WAS JUST RELEASED.

HERE WE ARE.

YOU MEAN YOUR FATHER IS HOME NOW?

IS THE ELEVATOR WORKING TODAY?

I DON'T KNOW WHY I BOTHERED TO ASK.

YOU DON'T NEED TO COME UP.

WELL, I'D LIKE TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

I DON'T THINK THAT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA.

PLEASE.

ALL RIGHT, COME TO MY CHURCH.

CHURCH.

WHERE IS IT?

SUNDAY MORNING AT THAT LAST BUS STOP,

GET ON BUS NUMBER TWELVE,

NINE O'CLOCK.

WAIT!

I STILL DON'T KNOW YOUR NAME.

GALINA.

AH! IT'S SO GOOD TO SEE YOU!

COME IN! COME IN!

I AM MAYA.

WELCOME! GOD BLESS YOU FOR YOUR HELP!

EXCUSE ME. MAY I SIT HERE?

DO YOU HAVE TO WORK ON SUNDAY?

NO, I . . . I'M GOING TO CHURCH.

TO CHURCH.

NOT MANY YOUR AGE ATTEND CHURCH.

WHAT CHURCH?

I'M NOT SURE.

NOT SURE?

I'M WAITING FOR SOMEONE HERE.

OH!

COMRADE, THIS PERSON . . .

WHAT DOES HE LOOK LIKE?

SHE.

SHE?

A YOUNG SOVIET COUPLE MEETING FOR CHURCH.

THIS IS UNUSUAL!

DO YOU DO THIS OFTEN?

THAT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!

WELL, I DO BELIEVE A VISIT TO CHURCH THIS MORNING

WILL IMPROVE YOUR DISPOSITION.

IT'S NICE TO MEET YOU.

WHO ARE YOU?

HER BROTHER.

WHERE'S GALINA?

SHE'LL MEET US AT THE CHURCH SERVICE.

I GUESS I SHOULD WARN YOU,

IF ANYTHING SHOULD HAPPEN TODAY,

ANYTHING UNUSUAL,

DON'T DO ANYTHING; JUST WALK AWAY.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

THE KGB.

SOMETIMES THEY LIKE TO AMUSE THEMSELVES

BY BREAKING UP OUR SERVICES.

HOW DO THEY KNOW WHERE YOU MEET?

I THOUGHT THE MEETING WAS SECRET.

NO, NOT SECRET.

WE JUST DON'T ADVERTISE AHEAD OF TIME.

BUT WHY DO YOU MEET OUT HERE?

THE STATE HAD NEED OF OUR PRAYER HOUSE.

THEY CONFISCATED IT,

AND THEN THEY TORE IT DOWN.

UNFORTUNATELY IT WAS THE HOME OF TWO

OF OUR OLDEST CHURCH MEMBERS.

WHY DO THEY DO IT?

BECAUSE WE'RE NOT REGISTERED.

LIKE MY FATHER'S CHURCH.

REGISTERED CHURCHES AREN'T ALLOWED

TO DO A LOT OF THE THINGS

A CHRISTIAN CHURCH OUGHT TO DO.

WHAT WILL THEY DO TO HIM?

ARREST HIM.

THEY ALSO LIKE TO ARREST NEW VISITORS.

LET'S GET HIM OUT OF HERE.

[Smirov] HOW DID YOU FIND THEM?

[Gushchin] TIP FROM A NOSY NEIGHBOR.

A CONCERNED CITIZEN, MAJOR.

BUT THEY'D BARELY STARTED.

WE CAUGHT THEM ALL.

DID YOU CATCH YAKOV MIKHAILEV?

HE WASN'T THERE.

I SAW THE REPORT

OF THAT RELIGIOUS MEETING YOU BROKE UP.

HE WASN'T THERE EITHER, WAS HE?

NO.

THEN WHERE WAS HE?

THE TRUTH IS YOU'VE LOST HIM.

YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE HE IS.

IT'S ONLY BEEN A FEW DAYS.

WE'LL FIND HIM AGAIN.

I DOUBT THAT.

HE'S GONE BACK TO PRINTING BIBLES

AS I TOLD YOU HE WOULD.

YOU'VE MISSED YOUR CHANCE.

WELL, THIS SHOULD PUT HIM

OUT OF BUSINESS FOR A WHILE.

I WONDER ABOUT THAT.

THIS LOOKS LIKE A SMALL OPERATION.

THEY'RE PRINTING RELIGIOUS TRACTS HERE.

IT'S STILL CRIMINAL ACTIVITY.

THE POINT IS, MAJOR,

IF THEY'RE NOT PRINTING BIBLES HERE,

THEY'RE PRINTING BIBLES SOMEWHERE ELSE.

FIND OUT WHERE THAT IS,

AND YOU'LL HAVE YOUR MAN.

WE'LL FIND HIM.

HOW?

HE HAS ABOUT FOUR TIMES

AS MUCH BRAINS AS YOU DO.

WE'LL WATCH HIS FAMILY.

HE HAS A SON AS WELL AS A DAUGHTER.

YES, YOU DO THAT.

HAVE THESE RELIGIOUS PEOPLE TAUGHT YOU HOW TO PRAY?

YOU'D BETTER PRAY THAT YOU FIND HIM.

IT'S YOUR LAST CHANCE.

MY HUSBAND'S INSIDE.

SERGEI!

SERGEI, THE PLUMBER'S HERE!

IT'S ABOUT TIME YOU GOT HERE.

THIS WAY.

HELLO, OLGA! WE HAVE A PLUMBER.

DO YOU NEED ANY WORK DONE?

PASTOR MIKHAILEV,

GALINA NEVER MENTIONED

THE PRINTING LEADER WOULD BE YOU!

SHE DID NOT KNOW.

I WAS RELEASED ONLY RECENTLY.

TO GOD BE THE GLORY!

IT'S A GREAT HONOR TO HAVE YOU HERE.

THE HONOR IS MINE.

NOW, I WONDER IF YOU WILL SHOW ME . . .

OH, OF COURSE, I'M SORRY.

FOLLOW ME.

HMM. GOOD ARRANGEMENTS.

I CONGRATULATE YOU.

IF YOU NEED ANY WORK DONE DOWNSTAIRS,

I REALLY AM A PLUMBER!

HAS ALL THE PAPER COME,

AND THE INK?

IT'S ALL HERE EXCEPT FOR THE PLATES.

MY SON, STEPAN,

WILL BRING THE PRINTING PLATES.

THE REST OF THE TEAM

WILL BEGIN TO ARRIVE DAY AFTER TOMORROW.

THE MEN CAN SLEEP HERE,

AND THAT AREA WE CAN CURTAIN

FOR THE WOMEN.

NOW ALL I NEED TO DO

IS ASSEMBLE THIS PILE OF METAL

INTO A WORKING PRESS

BEFORE THE OTHERS GET HERE!

[knocking]

DMITRI!

I APOLOGIZE FOR COMING HERE SO LATE.

NO, IT'S FINE.

GALINA'S HERE.

I HOPE I'M NOT DISTURBING YOU.

OF COURSE NOT.

BUT I HAVE TO GO OUT ON AN ERRAND.

I ACTUALLY WANTED TO TALK TO STEPAN,

OR EVEN TO YOUR FATHER.

MY FATHER ISN'T HERE.

HE'S AWAY ON BUSINESS.

I JUST, UH, I WANTED TO THANK YOU . . .

FOR TAKING ME TO THE SERVICE.

I WAS HOPING I COULD GO AGAIN.

I THOUGHT MAYBE YOU TELL ME

WHERE I COULD MEET YOU.

OF COURSE. PLEASE, SIT DOWN.

IF YOU TWO WILL EXCUSE ME,

I BETTER GO BEFORE IT GETS ANY LATER.

BE CAREFUL.

I CAN'T GET OVER WHAT I SAW

OUT THERE IN THE FOREST.

KGB THUGS THROWING EVERYBODY AROUND,

DRAGGING AWAY YOUR PASTORS,

AND EVERYBODY'S SINGING HYMNS, CALMLY,

EVEN THE CHILDREN.

NO SCREAMING, NO FEAR.

I'VE NEVER SEEN PEOPLE ACT LIKE THAT.

I FEEL LIKE I WANT TO BE A PART

OF WHAT YOU DO!

WE'RE A CHURCH. THAT'S ALL.

WHAT DO YOU THINK WE DO?

YOU STAND UP AGAINST THEM!

YOU HAVE MORAL COURAGE!

I WISH MY FATHER COULD SEE

WHAT A CHURCH OUGHT TO BE LIKE!

DMITRI, WE'RE NOT A POLITICAL GROUP.

WE'RE NOT TRYING TO CHANGE THE GOVERNMENT

OR THE ECONOMIC SYSTEM.

EVERYTHING WE DO IS FOR THE SAKE OF JESUS CHRIST.

WE JUST WANT TO PREACH THE GOSPEL

TO THOSE WHO NEED IT.

YOU MEAN LIKE ME.

MAYBE LIKE YOU.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

MAYBE.

MAYBE THAT'S WHY I CAME HERE.

BUT LOOK, I'VE HEARD ALL THIS BEFORE.

MY FATHER'S A PASTOR, REMEMBER?

DID YOU FATHER EVER TALK TO YOU ABOUT SALVATION?

SURE . . .

BUT WHAT MY FATHER SAID

NEVER MEANT MUCH TO ME.

MY FATHER TALKS ABOUT GOD,

BUT HE ACTS LIKE

THE KGB IS RUNNING THE UNIVERSE!

I THINK YOU'RE AVOIDING THE QUESTION.

HAVE YOU EVER TRUSTED CHRIST?

NO.

WHY NOT?

YOU ALREADY KNOW THE GOSPEL.

WHY CAN'T YOU ACCEPT IT?

BECAUSE IT NEVER DID MY FATHER ANY GOOD.

HE'S A HYPOCRITE!

YOU CAN'T USE YOUR FATHER FOR AN EXCUSE.

THE BIBLE SAYS

THAT EVERYONE MUST GIVE ACCOUNT OF HIMSELF

BEFORE GOD.

BUT I DON'T WANT TO BE LIKE HIM.

HE'S WEAK!

HE WON'T STAND UP TO THEM!

AND YOU'RE STRONG ENOUGH?

I'M STRONG ENOUGH!

I WENT TO PRISON

BECAUSE I WOULDN'T GIVE IN TO THEM!

PRISON.

WERE YOU STRONG ENOUGH THERE?

NO. NO, I WASN'T!

I DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE WHAT THEY WERE DOING

UNTIL . . .

I THOUGHT THEY WERE JUST USING ME

TO TORTURE ANOTHER PRISONER,

A CHRISTIAN.

IT WASN'T UNTIL AFTERWARDS

THAT I REALIZED

THEY WERE REALLY BREAKING ME.

"GOD IS OUR REFUGE,

AND UNDERNEATH ARE THE EVERLASTING ARMS."

NONE OF US IS STRONG ENOUGH, DMITRI.

I KNOW.

THAT'S WHY I CAME HERE.

THOSE PEOPLE AT THE CHURCH SERVICE

HAVE WHAT I NEED.

WHAT YOU NEED IS TO ACCEPT CHRIST.

YES.

THE BIBLE SAYS

THAT ALL MEN ARE SINNERS,

AND THAT CHRIST DIED FOR YOUR SINS.

I KNOW THAT YOU KNOW THAT ALREADY,

BUT KNOWING ISN'T ENOUGH.

YOU NEED TO ACCEPT WHAT GOD HAS OFFERED YOU,

SALVATION IN CHRIST.

IF I DO THIS,

I'LL BE ADMITTING MY FATHER WAS RIGHT.

BUT MY FATHER WAS . . . RIGHT.

[knocking]

COME IN.

PAPA . . .

I WANT YOU TO BAPTIZE ME.

YOU UNDERSTAND

THAT BAPTISM IS NOT A REQUIREMENT FOR HEAVEN.

YOU MUST . . .

I ALREADY HAVE.

I HAVE ASKED FOR GOD'S FORGIVENESS,

AND HE HAS GIVEN IT TO ME

BECAUSE CHRIST PAID FOR MY SINS.

I HAVE TRUSTED HIM FOR SALVATION.

DMITRI, MY SON!

THANK GOD! THANK GOD!

GOD IS GOOD!

PAPA, I KNOW YOU TRIED

TO TELL ME ABOUT THIS WHEN I WAS YOUNGER.

I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW

THAT I'M SORRY I DIDN'T LISTEN TO YOU.

IT DOESN'T MATTER.

WILL YOU BAPTIZE ME?

OF COURSE, WHENEVER YOU WANT.

WE CAN DO IT NOW IF YOU'RE READY.

NOW?

I THOUGHT WE WOULD DO IT ON SUNDAY

AT THE REGULAR SERVICE,

WITH OTHERS.

I DON'T THINK THAT WOULD BE WISE.

WHY NOT?

TO DO IT PUBLICLY

WE MUST SUBMIT YOUR NAME

FOR PERMISSION TO BAPTIZE.

SUBMIT TO WHO?

TO THE OFFICE OF RELIGIOUS AFFAIRS.

TO SMIROV?

IT'S WHAT WE ALWAYS DO.

YOU MEAN THE KGB DECIDES WHO CAN BE BAPTIZED?

WELL THEN, JUST GIVE THEM MY NAME.

THEY WOULDN'T APPROVE YOU.

WHY NOT?

THEY ALMOST NEVER APPROVE

ANYONE UNDER 30 YEARS OF AGE.

NOT EVEN YOUR OWN SON?

YOU HAVE A RECORD.

YOU ARE CONSIDERED A TROUBLE MAKER.

THEN DON'T ASK THEM.

LET'S JUST DO IT!

YES, EXACTLY.

WE'LL JUST BAPTIZE YOU--PRIVATELY.

NO. THE WHOLE IDEA IS TO FOLLOW THE LORD PUBLICLY.

JESUS WAS BAPTIZED PUBLICLY, WASN'T HE?

THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO DO.

DMITRI, WE CAN'T DO EVERYTHING WE WANT.

IF WE OBEY THEIR LAWS,

AT LEAST THEY GIVE US SOME FREEDOM.

FREEDOM TO DO WHAT?

TO DO EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANT?

WHAT KIND OF FREEDOM IS THAT?

IF WE ARE PATIENT,

THE GOVERNMENT MAY CHANGE ITS POLICIES.

PAPA, ONE THING YOU DID FOR ME

WHEN I WAS LITTLE WAS TO MAKE ME LEARN BIBLE VERSES.

IT'S SURPRISING HOW MANY I STILL REMEMBER.

BUT THERE'S ONE VERSE I'VE FOUND

THAT YOU NEVER TAUGHT ME.

IT SAYS "WE OUGHT TO OBEY GOD RATHER THAN MEN."

WHEN TIMES ARE HARD, GOD UNDERSTANDS.

NO.

IT'S WRONG TO ALLOW THE STATE TO CONTROL THE CHURCH,

AND I THINK WE SHOULD TAKE A STAND

AGAINST IT.

I WANT TO BE BAPTIZED PUBLICLY,

AND I WANT YOU TO DO IT.

WILL YOU BAPTIZE ME?

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND MY POSITION.

I'LL LOSE MY CHURCH!

THEY'LL TAKE IT AWAY FROM ME.

WILL YOU DO IT?

PAPA, PLEASE!

I WILL BAPTIZE YOU--PRIVATELY.

[Pastor praying] FATHER IN HEAVEN,

WE THANK THEE FOR THESE MEN AND WOMEN

WHO HAVE CHOSEN TO FOLLOW THEE PUBLICLY IN BAPTISM.

WE PRAY THAT THEIR COURAGE . . .

DMITRI YURCHENKO,

DO YOU BELIEVE THE LORD JESUS CHRIST

AND THAT HE ALONE CAN SAVE YOU?

YES.

I BAPTIZE YOU

IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER,

AND OF THE SON, AND OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.

AMEN.

SORRY I'M LATE.

I HAD TO MAKE A SPECIAL DELIVERY THIS MORNING.

YEAH? WHAT'S IN THE BAG?

NOT YET.

YOU'LL KNOW SOME DAY WHEN IT'S FINISHED.

GALINA TELLS ME

YOU'RE A REAL HELP TO THE CHURCH.

YEAH? THANKS.

I'D FEEL A LOT BETTER

IF I COULD GET A REAL JOB.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

IF SMIROV WANTS YOU TO HAVE A JOB,

YOU'LL GET ONE.

BUT UNTIL HE DOES, YOU WON'T FIND ANYTHING.

I FEEL LIKE I'M LIVING ON CHARITY.

CHRISTIAN CHARITY.

THAT'S WHAT WE'RE HERE FOR.

YOU'RE NOT THE FIRST ONE.

[click]

WHAT'S WRONG?

THAT WAS A CAMERA SHUTTER!

ARE YOU BEING FOLLOWED?

I HAVEN'T BEEN SO FAR.

THEY MUST HAVE BEEN WATCHING YOU.

I'M AFRAID WE'LL HAVE TO FINISH THIS TALK LATER.

I CAN'T AFFORD ANY PROBLEMS TODAY.

WHAT DO WE DO?

DON'T DO ANYTHING.

I'M GOING TO LEAVE.

THEY WON'T BOTHER YOU IF I'M GONE.

GIVE MY LOVE TO GALINA.

THAT ONE IS THE SON OF MIKHAILEV.

I THINK WE NEED TO SEE WHAT'S IN THAT BAG.

BACK UP.

THINK HE'S IN THERE?

HE'S GOT TO BE.

GET MOVING.

[gunshot]

[gunshot]

I'VE GOT TO WARN MY FATHER!

"AND I SAW THE DEAD, SMALL AND GREAT,

STAND BEFORE GOD;

AND THE BOOKS WERE OPENED:"

THIS IS THE BIBLE.

YOU'RE PRINTING BIBLES!

STEPAN WAS OUR COURIER.

IT WAS HIS JOB

TO CARRY THE PLATES BACK AND FORTH.

THEN YOUR FATHER IS IN DANGER.

I HAVE GOT TO TELL HIM!

I'M GOING WITH YOU.

[knocking]

GALINA!

SERGEI!

COME IN.

GALINA, WE WEREN'T EXPECTING . . .

IT'S ALL RIGHT, SERGEI.

THIS IS MY FRIEND, DMITRI YURCHENKO.

I'VE GOT TO SEE MY FATHER.

YOUR FATHER?

WHY, WHAT WOULD YOUR FATHER . . .

STEPAN IS . . .

STEPAN HAS HAD AN ACCIDENT.

I'VE GOT TO SEE FATHER.

STEPAN . . . AN ACCIDENT?

A KGB ACCIDENT.

[knock]

YAKOV NIKOLIAVICH, SOMEONE IS HERE!

OH!

WHAT'S WRONG, CHILD?

WHAT IS IT?

THEY'VE KILLED STEPAN!

HOW DO YOU KNOW THIS?

DMITRI SAW IT.

WHAT HAPPENED?

THE KGB WERE CHASING HIM.

HE ALMOST GOT AWAY,

BUT THERE WAS . . . AN ACCIDENT.

[Galina sobs]

HE WAS CARRYING THESE.

I'M AFRAID THEY GOT SOME OF THEM.

ALL RIGHT.

I HAVE LOST MY SON,

BUT STEPAN IS WITH HIS SAVIOR.

THERE WILL BE TIME LATER FOR OUR GRIEF.

NOW WE HAVE WORK TO DO.

[Yakov] WE'VE DISCUSSED THIS POSSIBILITY

MANY TIMES BEFORE,

AND YOU ALL KNOW WHAT TO DO.

WHEN YOU LEAVE,

BE SURE TO TAKE WITH YOU ANYTHING

THAT CAN BE PERSONALLY INCRIMINATING . . .

WHAT IS HE TALKING ABOUT?

IT'S OUR STANDARD PROCEDURE.

THE FIRST SIGN OF TROUBLE FROM THE KGB,

WE SHUT DOWN THE OPERATION AND LEAVE.

WHAT IF THE KGB DON'T FIND IT?

I PRESUME THIS IS THE YOUNG MAN

I'VE BEEN HEARING ABOUT?

YES, PAPA. THIS IS DMITRI.

DMITRI ALEKSANDROVICH,

I'M HAPPY TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

SO IT IS YOU.

I . . . I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY.

YOU ALREADY KNOW EACH OTHER?

WE ONCE SPENT A SHORT TIME TOGETHER.

I'M SORRY FOR WHAT I DID TO YOU.

THE IMPORTANT THING,

AS GALINA HAS TOLD ME,

IS THAT YOU HAVE FOUND CHRIST.

IT WAS STEPAN WHO . . .

I'M GLAD YOU BROUGHT HIM HERE.

SERGEI WAS SKEPTICAL.

IT DOESN'T MATTER.

WE'LL HAVE TO LEAVE IMMEDIATELY.

BUT YOU CAN'T JUST LEAVE ALL THIS!

IF WE LEAVE IT,

WE LOSE A FEW MONTH'S WORK,

BUT IT CAN BE DONE AGAIN SOME PLACE ELSE.

AN EXPERIENCED PRINTING TEAM

IS HARDER TO REPLACE.

THAT MAKES SENSE.

YOU CAN'T RISK THE PRINTING TEAM,

BUT WHY CAN'T SOMEBODY ELSE GET THE BIBLES OUT?

THERE ISN'T TIME.

WE TAKE THEM OUT

THE SAME WAY WE BROUGHT THEM IN.

IT TAKES MONTHS.

BUT THERE MUST BE A WAY.

IT'S WORTH A CHANCE.

WHAT IF I COULD GET A TRUCK?

YOU CAN GET A TRUCK?

I THINK SO.

I KNOW SOMEBODY WHO CAN GET ALMOST ANYTHING!

WE CAN'T TAKE A CHANCE.

WE'D NEVER MAKE IT.

NOT WE--I CAN GET IT!

THERE ISN'T TIME.

THERE MIGHT BE!

LOOK, I KNOW

YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW YOUR EMERGENCY PROCEDURES,

BUT I DON'T.

JUST TELL ME WHERE TO DELIVER THEM.

DMITRI!

WE'RE SO CLOSE!

WE CAN'T GIVE UP NOW!

PAPA, TELL HIM!

YOUNG MAN, YOU HAVEN'T THE SLIGHTEST IDEA

WHAT YOU'RE SUGGESTING,

BUT I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT.

WE ARE TOO CLOSE TO STOP NOW.

STEPAN DIED FOR THESE BIBLES!

WE'VE GOT TO TRY TO GET THEM OUT.

I CAN GET THE TRUCK BY TOMORROW.

WE'LL NEED AT LEAST THAT MUCH TIME TO PREPARE.

WE MAY HAVE A WEEK

OR A FEW HOURS.

LET'S GET BUSY!

[door shuts]

THEY'RE PRINTING BIBLES!

I WANT TO KNOW WHERE.

LOOK FOR ANYTHING.

THERE'S GOT TO BE A LEAD HERE SOMEWHERE.

ORANGES!

[knock]

DMITRI!

COME IN HERE.

I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU IN MONTHS . . .

SINCE LAST SUMMER.

YOU WERE, UH,

ABOUT TO BE BAPTIZED, I THINK,

AND YOU WANTED TO CONVERT ME, TOO.

I STILL DO.

ME, A JEW, EMIGRATING TO ISRAEL?

HOW WOULD THAT LOOK?

HOW IT LOOKS ISN'T IMPORTANT.

DMITRI,

I APPRECIATE YOUR CONCERN FOR MY SOUL,

BUT NOT NOW.

TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

YURI,

I NEED YOUR HELP.

YOU'VE GOT IT.

ARE YOU IN TROUBLE?

NOT YET.

I NEED A TRUCK.

TRUCK?! WHAT FOR?

I CAN'T TELL YOU.

OH, OF COURSE. WHAT I MEANT WAS,

WHAT KIND OF TRUCK? HOW BIG?

ONE THAT COULD CARRY, SAY,

4,000 KILOS OF PAPER.

4,000 KILOS?

I'LL SAY ONE THING.

YOU HAVEN'T CHANGED.

WHEN YOU GO FOR SOMETHING,

YOU GO FOR IT IN A BIG WAY.

LOOK, DMITRI,

I DON'T WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOU'RE INVOLVED IN,

BUT WHATEVER IT IS, THERE'LL BE A RISK.

I'M PREPARED FOR THAT.

I KNOW YOU ARE, BUT A TRUCK IS HARD TO HIDE.

I DON'T WANT TO HIDE IT,

AND I'LL ONLY NEED IT ONE NIGHT.

WHEN DO YOU WANT IT?

I NEED IT TOMORROW.

SURE,

WHY NOT?

WHERE DO YOU WANT ME TO DELIVER IT?

WELL, WHAT DO YOU HAVE?

PRINTING PLATES!

IT CONFIRMS OUR SUSPICIONS.

THEY'RE PRINTING BIBLES.

THE QUESTION IS WHERE?

THESE PHOTOGRAPHS WERE TAKEN BEFORE

AND AFTER THE ACCIDENT.

THE DEAD BOY IS STEPAN MIKHAILEV.

WE FOUND THESE IN HIS POCKET.

BUS TRANSFERS.

ACCORDING TO THE BUS ROUTES,

HE CAME FROM ACROSS THE RIVER.

SO HE'S ACROSS THE RIVER.

ANYTHING ELSE?

ORANGES.

ORANGES!

THE BOY WAS CARRYING ORANGES,

AND I FOUND MORE

IN THE GIRL'S APARTMENT THIS MORNING.

SO?

YOU CAN'T GET ORANGES IN LENINGRAD

IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER.

I DID SOME CHECKING.

THERE'S ONE LITTLE SHOP

THAT'S HAD SEVERAL ALLOTMENTS OF FRESH FRUIT.

IT SEEMS THE SHOP MANAGER

HAS A BROTHER- IN-LAW

IN THE MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE.

WE'RE NOT INTERESTED

IN THAT MINOR CORRUPTION.

WHAT ABOUT OUR BUSINESS?

THAT SHOP IS LOCATED

NEAR ONE OF THE STOPS OF THIS BUS ROUTE.

HE'S ACROSS THE RIVER,

AND PROBABLY SOMEWHERE NEAR THAT SHOP.

WE HAVE SOMETHING ELSE.

I FOUND THIS IN THE GIRL'S APARTMENT.

I KNOW IT'S A LONG SHOT,

BUT THIS IS THE TYPE OF HOUSE THEY ALWAYS USE.

WELL, SUPPOSE THIS IS THE HOUSE!

THERE ARE NO STREET NUMBERS.

HOW DO YOU PROPOSE TO FIND IT?

LOOK ABOVE THE HOUSE.

HERE IN THE BACKGROUND,

THIS IS THE FORTRESS.

SEE HOW THE SPIRE LINES UP WITH THE HOUSE.

NOW HERE IS THE NEVA RIVER.

HERE'S THE FORTRESS.

THE HOUSE CAN ONLY BE LOCATED IN THIS AREA.

WELL, MAJOR,

IT LOOKS LIKE YOU MIGHT BE ON TO SOMETHING HERE,

BUT YOU'LL HAVE TO MOVE QUICKLY.

WE DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME.

HOW DO YOU KNOW?

THIS PLATE IS A PART

OF THE BOOK THEY CALL THE REVELATION,

THE LAST BOOK OF THE BIBLE.

THEY'RE ALMOST FINISHED.

WELL, YOU GO AND TRY TO FIND THE HOUSE.

I'LL GO FIND THE BOY.

DMITRI YURCHENKO?

HE ESCAPED FROM THE SCENE

WITH SOME OF THE PLATES.

HIS FATHER WILL TELL ME WHERE TO FIND HIM.

WHAT IF HE DOESN'T KNOW?

I'LL MAKE HIM WISH HE DID.

[door slams shut]

COMRADE SMIROV, I . . .

THIS IS AN UNEXPECTED . . .

ALEKSANDR IVANOVICH,

I COME HERE OUT OF FRIENDSHIP.

I'M AFRAID YOUR SON'S IN TROUBLE AGAIN.

DMITRI?

YES, HE'S ENGAGED IN SUBVERSIVE ACTIVITY.

OH, I DON'T BELIEVE IT.

DMITRI MAY BE . . .

YOU'LL RECOGNIZE HIM, I'M SURE.

IT'S A CLEAR PRINT.

BUT THERE IS NO PROOF THAT DMITRI . . .

OH, THERE'S PROOF,

AND DMITRI HAS IT!

THAT'S WHY YOU'RE GOING TO TELL ME

WHERE HE IS.

YOU DON'T HAVE HIM.

HE ISN'T . . .

NO, BUT IT'S ONLY A QUESTION OF TIME.

WE'LL GET HIM!

IT'D BE EASIER ON HIM

AND ON YOU IF YOU'D TELL US WHERE HE IS.

I DON'T KNOW!

I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS!

I SUPPOSE IF YOU DID,

YOU WOULD, OF COURSE, TELL US.

WELL, I . . . OF COURSE I . . .

DMITRI IS MY SON!

LISTEN TO ME!

WE'VE HAD LOTS OF TROUBLE WITH THIS CASE,

AND IT TURNS OUT

THAT YOUR SON'S RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF IT!

BIBLES!

WOULD YOU BELIEVE HE'S BEEN PRINTING BIBLES?

I SHOULD HAVE ARRESTED HIM MONTHS AGO,

BUT FOR YOUR SAKE I DID NOT!

NOW I WANT HIM!

WHERE IS HE?

HOW CAN YOU DO THIS IN GOD'S HOUSE?

GOD'S HOUSE? WHERE IS GOD?

I DON'T SEE HIM ANYWHERE AROUND HERE!

WHY DOESN'T HE DO SOMETHING?

APPARENTLY HE HAS MORE PATIENCE THAN I DO.

YOU'D BETTER FIND YOUR SON.

TELL ME WHERE HE IS.

PLEASE . . . DON'T . . .

DON'T ASK ME TO HUNT DOWN MY OWN SON!

OH, YOU'LL FIND HIM.

HE'S AN ENEMY OF THE STATE!

IT'S YOUR DUTY!

BESIDES, YOU HAVE SO MUCH TO LOSE HERE!

MY CHURCH!

HOW CAN YOU CALL IT YOUR CHURCH

WHEN I CAN TAKE IT AWAY FROM YOU

ANY TIME I WANT?

YOU'LL FIND HIM.

GIVE HIM TO ME.

TURN OUT THESE LIGHTS!

NO. NO, NOT MY SON!

YOU CAN'T HAVE MY SON!

AHH!

[knock on door]

[television--foreign language]

YURI? I MUST SEE YURI!

IT'S URGENT.

WHO ARE YOU?

ALEXSANDR YURCHENKO,

DMITRI'S FATHER.

I'VE GOT TO TALK WITH YURI.

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

I WANT MY SON.

WHERE IS DMITRI?

WHY COME HERE?

HOW SHOULD I KNOW?

DON'T LIE TO ME!

YOU KNOW WHERE HE IS!

HOW CAN YOU WITHOLD INFORMATION FROM ME!

WHAT RIGHT DO YOU HAVE TO COME IN HERE

AND DEMAND SUCH THINGS?

EVEN IF I KNEW WHERE HE WAS,

I WOULDN'T TELL YOU.

NOT TELL ME?

BUT I'M HIS FATHER.

YOU CAN TRUST ME.

I BEG YOUR PARDON,

BUT I CANNOT TRUST YOU.

AS FAR AS I KNOW

YOU'RE WORKING FOR SMIROV AND THE KGB.

NO, THAT'S NOT TRUE.

YOU'VE GOT TO HELP ME,

OUT OF YOUR FRIENDSHIP FOR DMITRI!

WE BOTH WANT WHAT'S BEST FOR HIM.

DON'T BE A HYPOCRITE.

YOU'VE NEVER WANTED WHAT'S BEST FOR DMITRI,

AND YOU NEVER CARED ABOUT ME EITHER!

WHEN DMITRI HAD BEEN A BELIEVING CHRISTIAN

FOR TWO DAYS,

HE WAS HERE TRYING TO TELL ME

WHAT HE HAD FOUND.

WHEN HAVE YOU EVER TOLD ME ABOUT YOUR CHRIST?

YOU'RE RIGHT.

IT'S ALL TRUE.

ALL RIGHT.

YOU DON'T TRUST ME,

BUT DO YOU KNOW WHAT DMITRI IS DOING?

NO.

LOOK, COME IN.

PLEASE, SIT DOWN.

I JUST HAD A VISIT FROM SMIROV.

HE KNOWS WHAT DMITRI IS DOING.

IF HE CATCHES HIM . . .

DOES HE KNOW WHERE DMITRI IS?

I DON'T THINK SO,

BUT HE'S VERY CLOSE.

I THOUGHT IF I GOT TO DMITRI FIRST

AND WARNED HIM.

I THINK . . .

DMITRI KNOWS HE'S IN DANGER.

IF YOU KNEW YOUR SON BETTER,

YOU'D KNOW THAT PERSONAL SAFETY ISN'T IMPORTANT TO HIM.

I SEE WHAT YOU MUST THINK OF ME,

BUT YOU'VE GOT TO BELIEVE ME!

THINGS ARE DIFFERENT NOW.

WHAT SMIROV SAID . . .

HE EXPECTED ME TO TURN IN MY OWN SON!

I WOULDN'T DO IT!

I WANT TO HELP DMITRI IF I CAN!

AND IF I CAN'T,

I AT LEAST WANT TO TELL HIM I . . .

ALL I KNOW IS

I DELIVERED A TRUCK TO AN ADDRESS.

I'LL GET YOU THAT.

THE TRUCK MAY BE A PROBLEM.

HE WANTED IT ON SHORT NOTICE.

IT'S EASY TO FIND A DRIVER

WILLING TO RENT HIS BOSS'S TRUCK.

IT'S ALSO EASY TO TRACE.

JUST OVER THE OCTOBER BRIDGE,

NEAR THE RIVER.

YES, LIEUTENANT?

SIR, MAJOR GUSHCHIN JUST CALLED IN.

HE'S FOUND THE HOUSE,

SOMETHING ABOUT A TRUCK.

HE'S CHECKING IT OUT PERSONALLY,

BUT HE WANTED YOU TO KNOW.

WELL, YOU TELL MAJOR GUSHCHIN

HE'LL GET ALL THE CREDIT HE DESERVES

FOR HIS EFFORTS.

YOU HAVE AN ADDRESS?

YES, SIR.

WE'LL GO AND SEE WHAT THE MAJOR HAS FOUND.

[truck engine starts]

TRUCK! THAT'S THE TRUCK!

EVERYTHING'S IN THAT TRUCK!

THIS IS MAJOR GUSHCHIN

REQUESTING MILITIA ASSISTANCE.

WE ARE IN PURSUIT OF A GREEN TRUCK.

THERE HE IS.

[Gushchin] WHERE'S THE MILITIA HELP?

THIS IS MAJOR GUSHCHIN.

WE REQUEST MILITIA ASSISTANCE!

HE'S NOW CROSSING THE OCTOBER BRIDGE.

[Gushchin] WE'RE HEADED TOWARD SUVAROVSKY.

ISN'T THAT NEAR HERE?

YES, SIR.

WELL, LET'S GO GIVE HIM SOME HELP!

HE'S TURNING!

COMRADE GENERAL,

I HAVE REASON TO BELIEVE

THIS TRUCK CONTAINS WHAT WE'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR.

[Smirov] SO,

YOUR FATHER'S GOING TO BE VERY DISAPPOINTED IN YOU.

I TRIED TO WARN HIM

THAT YOU WERE HEADING FOR TROUBLE.

[Officer] GENERAL SMIROV, HERE IT IS!

MIKHAILEV! THIS IS HIS DOING.

IF YOU HAVE ANY SENSE

YOU'LL GET IN YOUR CAR

AND GO BACK TO THAT HOUSE

AS FAST AS YOU CAN.

MAYBE YOU CAN STILL CATCH HIM,

BUT I DOUBT IT.

WELL, DON'T STAND THERE LIKE AN IDIOT!

GET GOING!

YOU THERE, CHILDREN!

DO YOU LIVE HERE?

NO, WE DON'T SIR.

WHAT IS IT?

I CAN'T TELL.

NOT THE POLICE.

WHAT SHALL WE DO?

I DON'T . . .

[knocking]

OH, IT'S PROBABLY JUST SOMEBODY LOST,

LOOKING FOR DIRECTIONS.

GO DOWN. SEE WHAT THEY WANT.

(Aleksandr) YOU MUST LET ME IN!

[Aleksandr] I KNOW YOU ARE THERE!

[knocking]

ALL RIGHT. BE QUIET!

MOST PEOPLE ARE SLEEPING.

BE QUIET!

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

I'M LOOKING FOR SOMEONE.

IT'S VERY IMPORTANT.

I HAVE A MESSAGE FOR HIM.

PLEASE, IT'S URGENT.

[Sergei] WHO IS IT?

[Aleksandr] IT'S MY SON, DMITRI!

I KNOW HE'S HERE!

DMITRI!

PLEASE, THERE'S NOBODY HERE BY THAT . . .!

[Aleksandr] DMITRI,

IF YOU'RE HERE, COME TO ME!

PLEASE! PLEASE! HE'S NOT HERE!

PLEASE, GO!

YOU?

WELCOME, ALEKSANDR IVANOVICH.

MIKHAILEV, WHERE'S MY SON?

HE'S NOT HERE.

I MUST WARN HIM!

HE IS IN DANGER.

HE'S AWARE OF THAT.

I CAN ASSURE YOU!

WHERE IS HE?

HE'S MY SON!

I DON'T WANT TO LOSE HIM!

YOUR SON IS DOING SOMETHING

THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO HIM

AND, I BELIEVE, TO GOD.

WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO HIM?

I CAN'T SAY.

I HOPE HE CAN ESCAPE.

BUT IF NOT, HE'S FULLY PREPARED,

AS WE ALL ARE,

TO SUFFER WHATEVER IS NECESSARY

FOR THE WORD OF GOD.

YES, HE WOULD BE.

I JUST WANTED TO TELL HIM I UNDERSTAND.

I'M SORRY, MY FRIEND . . .

TRULY SORRY.

TO HAVE A SON AND LOSE HIM IS . . .

YOU'D BETTER GO NOW.

THEY'LL BE HERE SOON.

I WANT TO HELP!

THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO.

YOU'LL JUST GET YOURSELF INTO TROUBLE.

WELL, I DON'T CARE!

I WANT TO HELP YOU!

I WANT TO BEAT SMIROV, JUST ONCE!

ALL RIGHT!

I DON'T HAVE TIME TO ARGUE!

ALL RIGHT, LUBA. YOU'VE DONE ENOUGH.

YOU AND SERGEI SHOULD GO NOW.

THERE'S NO NEED FOR YOU TO STAY.

EVERYTHING'S DONE.

WELL, THANK YOU. I'LL STAY.

[car motors]

IT'S THEM!

[Aleksandr] SMIROV HIMSELF!

GO COVER THE BACK!

[Officer] YOU THERE, STOP!

STAY AWAY FROM HERE!

[knocking]

STATE SECURITY! OPEN UP!

NOW WE'VE GOT TO MOVE QUICKLY.

[knocking]

YOU'RE GOING TO TRY TO GET AWAY?

WE'RE NOT MARTYRS . . .

NOT ON PURPOSE!

OPEN UP IMMEDIATELY!

THIS IS STATE SECURITY!

GET YOUR HAT.

YOU WANT ME TO GO WITH YOU?

DO YOU WANT OUR FRIEND SMIROV

TO FIND YOU HERE?

[knocking]

[Officer] OPEN THE DOOR!

SIT DOWN!

DON'T WASTE TIME HERE.

IT WILL BE THE CELLAR OR THE ATTIC.

TURN OFF THE LIGHTS.

HURRY.

MAJOR!

HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!

LET'S GO. MOVE.

WHAT'S DOWN THAT HILL?

THE NEVA RIVER.

AND ALL LENINGRAD BEYOND IT, HUH?

NOT HIM!

MIKHAILEV! HE'S THE ONE!

AROUND BACK! DOWN THE HILL!

MOVE!

BRING HIM INSIDE.

CONFISCATE THIS HOUSE.

THAT'S ILLEGAL. YOU HAVE NO EVIDENCE.

DO YOU SMELL THAT?

THAT'S PRINTER'S INK.

THAT'S ALL THE EVIDENCE WE NEED!

BUT THIS HOUSE HAS BEEN IN MY FAMILY

FOR GENERATIONS.

WELL, DON'T YOU THINK IT'S ABOUT TIME

WE TOOK IT AWAY FROM YOU

AND GAVE IT TO SOME HONEST SOVIET CITIZENS?

WE COULD PUT FOUR FAMILIES IN THIS HOUSE.

PAPA!

AH, PAPA CAN'T DO ANYTHING FOR YOU NOW.

HE'S IN MORE TROUBLE THAN YOU ARE.

YOU'RE ONLY A HOOLIGAN, A NUISANCE.

HE'S A TRAITOR!

WHAT DID YOU DO?

[Smirov] HE HELPED A CRIMINAL ESCAPE.

DMITRI, I WANT YOU TO KNOW . . .

GET HIM OUT OF HERE!

I KNOW!

I UNDERSTAND!

DMITRI, DON'T LET THEM CHANGE YOU!

[Aleksandr] DMITRI, CHRIST WILL BE WITH YOU!

DMITRI, I LOVE YOU!

YOU'RE A FOOL!

YOU'VE LOST YOUR CHURCH,

NOW YOU'VE LOST YOUR SON.

AND YOU HAVE LOST YAKOV

AND THE WHOLE PRINTING TEAM

AND ALL THE BIBLES!

MY CHURCH NEVER BELONGED TO ME;

IT WAS ALWAYS YOURS.

DMITRI HAS FOUND CHRIST,

AND FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 20 YEARS

I REALLY HAVE A SON . . .

ALL BECAUSE OF YOU!

NOW YOU WHISPER TO ME, COMRADE GENERAL,

WHO IS THE FOOL?

GET HIM OUT OF MY SIGHT.
