Shit, this is the wrong village.

Stop! Wait for me! I'll be right back.

Hey, excuse me! Is one of you a doctor?

- Why? What's going on? - Anya, don't!

My wife's in labor. She was due in a week, but it started.

And the road to Moscow is out... I don't know what to do.

No phone or internet, either.

Can one of you help us? I don't know what to do.

Are the contractions regular?

I don't know... damn.

She's in a whole lot of pain. Vika! You should ask her.

We need to take her to the house.

Hey, stay clear!

- What are you doing, Ira? - They might all be sick.

What do you mean?

I'm not coughing and no fever. I don't even have a runny nose.

Ira, don't do this.

Got it.

Are you nuts? What the hell are you doing?

What do you want? Get back!

Look, I'm sorry. We barely made it ourselves.

It's a bad time. It's tricky.

And we don't have a doctor. Maybe there's one nearby.

It's a half-hour drive to Solnechnogorsk. Go there!

This will help.

There's a maternity hospital down the road to Klin.

It's ten minutes. I looked it up, just in case.

Have her take it, it'll hurt less. I've got more.

- Get in the car. Go on. Move. - Okay. Fine.

Sergey, give me a hand with this tent.

We'll go in your car. You've got room.

- Do you have straps? - Yeah.

Yeah, get them.

Look, can you spare some diesel? It's for Anya's car.

It's on the shelf in the garage. There's a gas can.

- On the shelf? - Uh-huh.

Sergey, who are Anton and I gonna go with?

With Dad in Anya's car. Now go put your stuff inside.

What, we're not going with you?

We've decided you are with Dad.

Who decided? She did?

Damn it, it doesn't matter now!

We just need to get out of here!

Let's get going!

Here, Sergey.

You press here and...

Don't worry, I'll be okay. You go first.

- Yeah. - We'll follow.

- Get in. - I want to go with Daddy!

Get in!

- Drive slow. - Uh-huh.

- Daddy! - Anton!

I want to go with you!

Anton, listen to me.

Here we go.

I'll follow you. You'll see me through the window.

No, no! I want to go with you!

Quit acting like a little boy. This way, let's go.

- Ira! - Don't "Ira" me! Come, Anton!

Listen. You're a big boy, aren't you, Anton?

- Hey, are we going or not? - Just a second!

Move it! These assholes might come back at any moment.

- Enough. Let's go. Enough, I said! - Okay.

- Let me talk to him. - Leave him alone!

- Anton, get in the car! - What is going on? Cut it out.

- He's my son. Don't tell me... - Enough!

Anton, dear.

It's all right. You can go with your dad. Deal?

And we'll go with Boris Mikhaylovich.

- Thank you. Thank you. - Misha, let's go!

- Let's move. - Boris, let's go.

Leonid, can you hear me?

Loud and clear.

Is this the only road to the village?

It's the main one.

They might take this road if they return. We should make a detour.

Then turn right at the fork and make a detour.

Anya, turn right at the fork.

Why? That's a detour.

It's safer.

We'll be zigzagging there for two hours. No, I'm turning left.

Anya.

Anya, where are you going?

Damn it, I told you to turn right!

Fuck it, it'll be faster.

She's hot, isn't she?

And also pretty young. Thirty at most.

I understand Sergey, though.

Anya's got money, that house...

Who cares about age? It's love. Age doesn't matter to them.

That depends whose age it is.

Anya, what's happening? Your car's smoking.

Do you copy, Anya?

What happened?

Sergey, we've got a problem.

Is it diesel for cold? Which did you take?

From under the shelf, like you said.

"On the shelf." God, were you even listening?

- How much did you use? - All of it.

Oof.

Okay, we need some winter diesel.

Get the towline. We'll tow the car to the nearest gas station.

You don't have a towline either?

- In either car? - I've never kept one in mine, I just...

Right.

Leonid, do you have a towline?

- I'll check. - Thanks.

- Look, Boris... - Yeah.

Where exactly up north are we going?

Lake Vongozero, Karelia.

I see. That must be 700, 800 miles?

A thousand... or slightly more.

Is your house big enough... big enough for everybody?

Let's get there before worrying about space.

There'll be enough space.

- What about the towline? - Fuck me.

What?

I must've left it in the ATV after hunting.

We'll go back then, I guess.

- We need to go back. - No, that's dangerous.

What, and here on the side of the road, in the middle of the night, is better?

- Give me the keys. I'll go myself. - No, you just stay put.

All right. I'll go back for it.

What if they're already there?

Then I'll just return without the towline.

Shouldn't Polina and Marina stay here?

No, I'll feel better with my women by my side.

Don't worry, I'll be quick.

"One leg here and the other there," as Anna Karenina said.

- Don't turn off the walkie-talkie! - Uh-huh.

Karelia, my ass. Pomors.

Misha!

Dad, we're not going back, are we?

I saw the towline in the trunk. This is fucked up.

Just abandoning all of them like this.

I don't care if it's fucked up.

They're hopeless, this crew.

The guide won't even last long. He's a goner even without the infection.

Sergey and his two girls? Jesus.

These fools aren't even gonna make it to Karelia.

Leonid, you hear me?

Leonid! Can you hear me?

Are you okay? Over.

Where are you? Over.

I don't understand why he doesn't reply.

What is there to understand?

I'm here.

Leonid, I'm checking my signal. What's the coverage radius on this?

Ten or fifteen miles.

We're fine, don't worry. We'll be back in a sec. Over and out.

He's passed out.

Sergey.

Don't leave, please.

We'll go to the St. Petersburg region.

To Lake Ladoga at Valera's place.

Are you sure Valera's still alive, though?

From there we can cross into Finland.

I mean, we have our passports with Schengen visas, right?

Can we even get in?

The borders are closed from what I read.

You "read"? God, please. What is it you read?

You'll believe any old bullshit you read on the internet.

How are we going to sleep?

Marina, what the hell is the matter with you?

Haven't you ever slept in a car? Sleep all you want!

I have to pee.

Let's go outside.

Just do it right here.

- I can't pee here, Lyonya! - Stop it, Marina! I'll turn away!

Please, let's go in the forest! I can't pee on the road.

Christ.

All clear.

Is this one ours?

Yeah, it definitely is.

Did you take the keys?

No.

What are we going to do without the car?

It's okay. We can't win every time. We'll figure it out.

They must be here!

Comb the woods! Check for footprints!

Let's go.

Move!

Don't let them slip away!

- I see footprints. - They're here! Move! Move! Move!

Leonid, you're pulling me too hard! You're hurting me!

Easy! Come on! There you go!

Keep quiet! Come on.

They went down there.

Everyone, let's go.

Leonid, you hear me?

Leonid, do you hear me? Over.

Poetry or prose?

Are you okay? Over.

Leonid! Tell me where you are. Over.

Everyone down here, quick! Do I have to say it twice?

What if it's not them down there?

- Their footprints are right there. - And what if they're not theirs?

- Anyone could have walked here. - It's freezing, Sanya.

Come on, forget them.

Let's take their car and go back to the base.

Everyone's waiting for us.

Are you out of your fucking mind?

They killed my brother, and you're afraid of bumping your ass!

Down, now!

You go first! Move!

Shh.

Thank you, Lekha.

This jerk really got to me. Right, guys?

What should we tell base?

We'll say you did him in.

No.

And we were forced to shoot you.

Let's get out of here. I'm starving.

We haven't eaten all day with all this shit.

I'm driving the Escalade.

Really nice escape.

No weapons, no camping gear, no transport.

Nothing.

I'll figure it out.

By her eyes I knew that she was sick.

She just cried and begged.

She couldn't come in.

I wouldn't let her. I holed up with Anton in the bedroom...

so we wouldn't hear her.

I don't even know if she walked away or if they...

Ira, don't torture yourself.

You couldn't avoid it.

How can I live with it?

I can still hear her voice in my head,

begging behind the door.

Come here.

Whatever happens between us...

I'll always be here. Always.

You hear me? Trust me.

Do you copy? Sergey! Leonid speaking!

Where are you? Over.

Yeah, I'm here. Copy. We still haven't budged.

Guys, what happened?

We're... it's a long story.

We're stuck. Can you pick us up?

Where?

Not far. About five miles away. You know the Voronovo station?

You're not going.

Sergey, do you copy? I've got the towline.

Okay, I'm coming. Don't turn off the radio.

Then we're all coming with you.

I'm begging you, please, stay here with my dad.

- I'll be fast, all right? - No.

Anya, stay with the car. I'll be quick.

No, Sergey. I'm coming as well.

Where's your car?

The car's screwed, Sergey.

All was good until we stopped.

Marina had to pee. We got out and went to the woods.

Thank God we were deep enough...

And then those bastards turned up, and they searched around,

and then they took the car, and... and drove away.

Your house is that way. How did you get here?

I just thought that I would go by this road here

and then, uh, switch back to the main road and then try to pass unnoticed.

And the towline?

I don't have it.

You said you did on the radio.

If I didn't say it, you wouldn't have come back.

Does this sound normal?

Sergey, why are you silent?

Right. Get in the car.

We'll squeeze in there somehow, okay?

What are you doing? What car? Sergey, what do you mean?

They weren't getting something stupid! They were planning to leave you behind!

- Ira... - What? What are we going to do?

We have one car! Are you insane?

Calm down, okay? Let's discuss it later.

In any case, this woman is pregnant.

Are you suggesting abandoning her out in the...

Oh, excuse me. And who are you, some saint?

Bullshit, Anya. Come on, Sergey.

Let's stay humane, Ira.

So stay! Go on, Anya, you can stay right here if you want.

- Stay right here! - Bitch.

- Where are you going? - Stop it, Ira!

Offer your seat to them, Anya!

Why should I stop? You don't even know them!

Move.

Sergey, I have an idea.

There's a petrol station a bit further.

Leave us there. We'll think of something.

Does that sound fair to you all?

- Let's go. - Move your asses!

All right then. Out.

Polina, out.

I don't want to.

Marina!

Guys, I'm sorry. We hadn't wanted to abandon anybody.

It won't happen again, I swear. Please, believe me.

- You're embarrassing us. Out! - Where are we going?

Can't we talk it over? Why do we have to leave?

Come on.

Where are we gonna go? I'm cold! I'm tired!

Sergey...

Hey, Boris is waiting on us.

There is no fuel today. Please go home.

- Polina, move! - There is no fuel, no diesel.

I repeat, there's no fuel. Please go home.

Wait here. I'll be quick.

Anyone going to St. Petersburg?

Can anyone give a lift for three?

I can pay you, I've got money.

Guys, anyone interested in selling your car?

It fits everybody. We could've all fit.

Sergey, are we going?

Guys, will anyone sell their car? I have money.

Anyone going to St. Petersburg?

Give a lift to three people!

Everybody fits. Everybody fits.

Sergey.

Sergey!

Excuse me, do you know the...

Stay away! Stay away! Stay away, he's infected!

Calm down. No one... no one is infected.

Oh, he's coughing! Listen!

And, look, he put on glasses to hide his eyes.

He'll infect us all!

- Vitya! Get him away from me! - Stop it!

- Vitya, do something! - Stop it! I'm not infected!

He's infected!

Get in the car, quickly!

Leonid!

There's an infected man.

He is sick!

- Leonid... - Uh-huh?

Is this how it's gonna be from now on?

Somebody abandoned a car, Dad.

Yeah, it belonged to the sick guy.

I saw him get out of it.

It's also infected.

It's cold. I can't do it anymore.

Come on, let's go. Let's go.

- I said, "No gas." - Let us in, please, sir.

My pregnant wife and daughter are freezing.

Someone stole our car.

And if you're infected?

We're fine. No coughing or anything.

Look at my eye.

I'll pay, okay? Hold on, look.

The diesel froze.

So I went and heated it up a little.

Should go at least two miles.

Gotta make it last till the next gas station.

Yeah.

Anya, we gotta be quick. Follow me.

Sergey, times are bad, but...

well, this is just inhumane.

Sergey. You know it was the only way.

It's like with your mom.

You said you don't know how to live with it.

I don't know how to live with it, either.

Why are you still here? You're not fleeing?

It will be the same everywhere soon. So, why flee?

This place here is a fortress.

I, uh, noticed that you have supplies.

Relax. It's fine.

You do what you can to survive.

Every man for himself.

You cold, cutie?

How about a drink?

Take it.

It will warm you up.

What is it? Are you shy?

Come here.

Would you just leave her? She's just a child, my God.

I'm talking to her, not you.

Oh, okay, I'll come to you then.

Look, that's enough.

Right.

Now beat it, all right, fucker?

We're leaving. We'll leave.

Leonid, dear, please. Let's leave. Leonid, let's go, please.

We're leaving, stop. Hold on, we're leaving already!

Leonid, please! Let's go, please!

Leonid! Stop, okay? We're going, stop.

Fucking piece of shit!

God, he wanted to shoot you! Oh, I'm shaking so hard.

Everything is okay, kitten. It's over.

- Keep your head warm. - Yeah, thank you.

We're going to die here, aren't we?

Do you understand how fucked we are?

- It's all your fault! - What?

Why did we have to leave them?

I did it for you!

Well, you didn't help us, I gotta say.

Take it easy, I didn't know it would come to this!

Oh, you didn't you know, huh?

- Relax, Marina. - Leave me alone!

Enough.

Fuck me. We're not screwed, you guys.

Polina, Marina, get warm in the car.

So did you miss me?

Close the door.

You started the engine?

Heated it up. Fuel needs replacing.

I've got an idea.

Look, could you give me about five gallons?

Only to make it to the next station. That's all I need. Nothing else.

I can pay you well. Here.

I can give you the watch. It's nice. Swiss.

Show me.

One second... ah. Here.

On the floor! Hands behind your head! Put your hands behind your head!

What a perfect fortress, huh?

Guys, take these gas cans. They're all on sale today.

Misha!

Misha! Misha! Misha!

Why did you touch him? You shouldn't have done that.

He's not infected.

What happened?

He wasn't sick.

Take a look for yourself. His eyes are healthy.

What's going on?

He wasn't infected.

Splendid.

Come on!

This is enough fuel for us, eh?

Enough to get us to Karelia?

Sergey, enough sulking. No hard feelings, okay?

Forgiven.

- I wanted to ask you something. - Yeah?

Ira's good in bed, right?

You can tell a friend, right? I can already sense it.

Tell me later.

Even though I know already!

Karelia has plenty of lakes, I'm certain about that.

The one we're looking for is called... Vongozero.

There's an island in the middle of it.

If memory serves, in '78, because Sergey wasn't born yet,

his mom and I got lost this one time.

And all of a sudden we stumbled upon this... this ship

washed up on the shore.

It must have been abandoned since the war.

I've been going there each year ever since.

- To the ship? - Yeah.

It got quite comfy after 40 years.

Is it livable?

Not just livable...

Clean water, a stove. I built a toilet.

And the lake's teeming with fish! There's enough space for everyone.

It even has an annex.

And most importantly, there's nobody anywhere out there.

We'll settle in before you know it. We'll be fine.

Could even create kids, right, Sergey?

Can't waste so many women! We have to save the human race!

Give me the radio.

Who's coughing? Sergey?

Not me. I don't know.

It's me. Sorry for interfering.

Who's this?

My name's Igor. Igor Yevgenyevich.

- Hello. - Hello.

And where are you now, Igor Yevgenyevich?

In the attic. I have a station here.

I was trying to catch a signal. What about you?

Near Tver, just about.

I see. I have an aunt in Tver. Not sure if she's still alive.

- How are you feeling? - Well, thank God.

I'm glad to hear it.

Health is the most important thing now.

- That and having your family around. - Is your family there?

They will be soon. Soon, we'll be together.

Sorry, are you...

I just wanted to ask, do you know any prayers?

Because all my life, I was...

First, I was in the Komsomol,

and then, somehow, I just never had the time.

And I want someone to pray. Maybe it will help. I don't know.

Sorry, I don't.

Neither do I.

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God...

have mercy on us.

Save us.

In your mercy and your grace...

have mercy on the sinful soul of Igor.

I lost the rest of it.

May I, sir?

The sins of his youth and of his ignorance, remember not.

Give him instead a Christian death, in peace and in bliss,

and save his soul from the dark eyes of the cunning demons,

and may your angels of light accept him.

Have mercy on him on Judgement Day...
