EPISODE 4

Are you hurt? - No. Just a missile wound.

Thank you, Junior Sergeant.

For what? - For the second you bought for me to change the clip.

For this second I owe you a lifetime supply of vodka.

I'm OK. I can go.

You're right, my friend. You'll feel better in a second.

Comrade Sergeant, are you a Communist? - Yes. Why?

We invite you to preside at our Young Communists meeting.

What meeting? What about? - Cowardice.

A meeting! That's great.

That's fantastic. We're going to have a meeting!

We'll condemn our comrade and sign the minutes. Right?

And the Germans will put their stamp on it. So, as a Communist,

I cancel all meetings for the present. Is that clear?

The Germans escaped into the woods. There's a lot of blood on the spot

where the hand grenade went off. We have killed one of them.

So, firstly, they are only 13 now. Secondly, I have only one clip left.

What about you, Osianina? - One and a half.

That's bad.

As for the cowardice, there was none.

You can only see it in the second battle.

What you saw was confusion and lack of experience.

Right, Private Chetvertak? - Right.

Wipe your tears and snot. It's an order. One more thing.

Our backup hasn't come yet. And the Germans won't wait for it.

They can go deep into the woods, and we'll never find them.

What does it mean, Osianina? - We need to look for them ourselves.

Exactly. We need to follow them to know their exact position.

The main thing in the war is not who's the best shooter

but who's the best thinker. Right, Comrade Komelkova? - Yes, sir.

OK, Osianina, you're in charge. Your will keep a sizable distance from us.

If you hear gunshots, you hide and wait for us to come to you.

If we don't, you proceed covertly until you meet any people and report our situation.

Private Chetvertak will come with me.

We leave our knapsacks here.

You follow in my steps and do what I do. No matter what happens,

you stay silent. And no more tears. Is that clear?

Everybody's clear on that?

OK, let's go.

Have you read Pavel Korchagin's How the Steel Was Tempered? Of course you have.

I saw this Korchagin up close and personal. I was on a trip to Moscow

for the best military school students.

We visited the Mausoleum, museums, palaces and all that. And we also met him.

He is very down to earth and cordial, not bragging about his position.

He invited us to tea, talked to us about our service.

Why are you lying? He is quadriplegic and blind. And his name isn't Korchagin.

That was the character's name, and the writer's name is Ostrovsky.

We wrote letters to him at school.

Maybe that was another Korchagin. Maybe I'm mistaken.

Wait for me here.

They've finished off a wounded soldier. So that's their rule.

Nice to know. Come on.

So they have lost two people, Galia. Two. They are 12 now.

Mummy!

Comrade Sergeant! Fedot Yevgrafovich!

Fedot Yevgrafovich! - Comrade Sergeant!

Come on, girls. It's OK. Now, now. I'm not your sergeant anymore.

Now I'm more of a brother. You can call me Fedot.

What happened to Galia?

Our comrades are dead. They died like heroes. Chetvertak was shot in battle.

And Liza Brichkina has drowned in the marsh.

With Sonia, we've lost 3 people. That's right.

On the other hand, we've delayed the enemy here between the lakes for a whole day.

24 hours! No, it's not here.

Have you lost something?

The igniters. I know I had them with me, but now they are gone.

Without an igniter a grenade is just a peace of metal.

So, we don't have our artillery any more, girls.

It's OK, Comrade Sergeant. We can make it.

Here is my battle order. The well-armed enemy is moving in our direction.

We don't have any neighbors on the left or on the right.

Thus, my order to my soldiers and myself is to hold the position

to the last drop of blood. Because there is Russia behind our backs.

Our motherland, simply speaking. There is no reinforcement coming.

So, we'll have to accept battle here. Probably, the final battle.

They are coming. Man your stations.

The sun&

Rita! Do you hear me?

Rita? Do you hear? Rita?

How? - A hand grenade.

Give me some cloth. Your underwear.

Not silk! It won't absorb the blood. Give me some linen.

I don't have any. - Oh God.

Germans! Where are the Germans?

Go.

It's OK, Rita. The wound is superficial.

Hey, you!

They are going away.

Zhenia is leading them into the forest.

Hello.

You bastards!

Zhenia& Is she dead?

Our knapsacks are gone. And the rifles.

They either took them away or hid them.

Did she die instantly?

They left. To get the explosives, I suppose.

But they haven't won, you know. I'm still alive. They'd have to pass me first.

Does it hurt? - It's not my arm.

It hurts here. It hurts so much, Rita.

I've lost you all. All five girls. I've got you killed. What for?

A dozen of Krauts?

Don't say it like that. I understand. This is the war.

Yes, it's the war. But when it ends? Will people understand why we had to die?

Why didn't I let the Germans go further? Why did I take this decision?

What will I answer when they ask me,

'Why didn't you, men, protect our mothers? Why did you wed them to death

'and remain alive? You say were protecting the road and the channel.

'But didn't they have troops guarding them? Probably more people

'than five girls and a sergeant with a revolver?'

Don't. One's motherland doesn't begin with a channel. Far from it.

That's what we were protecting in the first place. And only then the channel.

Will you grant me my last wish?

Here, take it. There are two bullets left. But you'll feel safer with it.

I'm going to look around. I'll be back by the afternoon.

We'll reach our people by nightfall. - Wait.

Remember how I ran into the Germans in the woods?

I was on my way back from my mom's. My son is staying with her.

He's 18 months old. His name is Alik, Albert.

My mom is very sick, and my father is MIA.

Don't worry, Rita. I understand.

Thank you.

Give me a kiss.

Your stubble&

Now go.

Alles! Lie down! Stay down!

Well? Are you happy now?

Five girls? There were just five girls! And they didn't let you pass!

You'll die here! You'll all die! I'll kill every last one of you!

Even if those in command decide to pardon you.

Let them bring me to court martial. I don't care.

Comrade Sergeant!

Fedot Yevgrafovich! The reinforcement is here.
