0:00:03 > 0:00:05Your father is gravely ill in Moscow.
0:00:05 > 0:00:09You are Count Bezukhov now, my dear friend!
0:00:09 > 0:00:12'You're the most brilliant man I know! You could do anything!'
0:00:12 > 0:00:15He's going off to the war and sending me away to the country
0:00:15 > 0:00:16to have my baby all alone.
0:00:16 > 0:00:18No, please!!
0:00:19 > 0:00:21I just wanted to come and see Natasha on her name day.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27I know I'm just the poor relation and your mother
0:00:27 > 0:00:30- would never let him marry me. - Anything's possible.
0:00:30 > 0:00:31And he does love you, I know it.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33Russia hasn't lost a war in 100 years.
0:00:33 > 0:00:37This monster, Bonaparte, he's crossed into Austria now
0:00:37 > 0:00:39and who's to say that Russia won't be next?
0:00:39 > 0:00:42- Don't put yourself in danger!- Mamma, please don't fuss. I am a man now.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45I request permission to join Prince Bagration in this action.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48If one quarter of them come back tomorrow, I'll thank God.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55Has Papa spoken to you?
0:00:55 > 0:00:56What about?
0:00:56 > 0:00:57He wants to marry us both off.
0:00:57 > 0:01:02Pierre, Helene - congratulations!
0:01:02 > 0:01:04- What's happened?- We're engaged!
0:01:59 > 0:02:02PRIEST READS WEDDING VOWS IN RUSSIAN
0:02:44 > 0:02:46I have to tell you that the Minister of War is very busy
0:02:46 > 0:02:48and may not be able to see you this evening.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50It's imperative that he does.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52I've come directly from the battlefield.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54My orders were to report to the Austrian Emperor himself.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57No, no, this is not how we do things here, your Excellency.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59I'll have to have a word with the Minister.
0:03:01 > 0:03:02(He's asked to see the Emperor.)
0:03:02 > 0:03:03THEY SPEAK IN GERMAN
0:03:08 > 0:03:11He will see you now. Please, come in.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30So? You are from General Kutuzov? And the reason for your visit?
0:03:30 > 0:03:34To report the success of the action at Schongrabern.
0:03:34 > 0:03:35Here is the dispatch.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40You call it a success, do you?
0:03:40 > 0:03:44It seems of little consequence, now the French have taken Vienna.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47Coming after the defeat of the Austrian army at Ulm, yes,
0:03:47 > 0:03:49it was a success.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53The French advance was stopped long enough to allow our armies
0:03:53 > 0:03:54to regroup.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58But there were terrible casualties on our side, too.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00We await Napoleon's next move.
0:04:00 > 0:04:05Well, this is a war, you know. One must expect some bloodshed.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09General Kutuzov thought that
0:04:09 > 0:04:11you'd like to hear some good news, for a change.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16Thank you. His Majesty will be informed.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19And now, if you would excuse me, I have work to do.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Or was there something else?
0:04:58 > 0:04:59What are you looking at?
0:05:02 > 0:05:07My lovely wife! I was just thinking what a treasure I have.
0:05:07 > 0:05:08Am I a treasure, then?
0:05:08 > 0:05:14Oh, Lord, you are. You are an inexhaustible treasure.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18Full of wonderful, wonderful secrets and delights.
0:05:18 > 0:05:23The more I discover, the more it seems is left to be discovered.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26More secrets, more delights - does that make sense?
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Mmm.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32Actually, I don't think I am inexhaustible.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34One can get a bit tired of having one's secrets and delights
0:05:34 > 0:05:37discovered all the time, over and over.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41My love, forgive me. What an inconsiderate brute I am.
0:05:41 > 0:05:42You're not so bad.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47But there are more things to life, aren't there?
0:05:47 > 0:05:50You are Count Bezukhov, after all.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Yes, I have been thinking about that.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54And taking advice and so on.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59I think one of the first things we should do is make a tour
0:05:59 > 0:06:01of all my estates in the country.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Well...
0:06:04 > 0:06:06The thing is...
0:06:06 > 0:06:10I'm not really awfully good at coping with peasants and farms
0:06:10 > 0:06:12and all that country life, sort of thing.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15And I have rather a lot of engagements in the city.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19I think it would be better if you went on your own.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21I'd only be a distraction, anyway.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Yes, but a wonderful, wonderful distraction...
0:06:24 > 0:06:27No, I think you should start as you mean to go on.
0:06:27 > 0:06:28Duty before pleasure.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34Don't you think it'll do us good to spend a little time apart?
0:06:36 > 0:06:38If you say so.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Don't they say that absence sharpens the appetite?
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Mine doesn't really need any sharpening, Helene.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46You are a wicked, wicked man!
0:07:11 > 0:07:14MAN SOBBING
0:07:20 > 0:07:21What is it, Papa?
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Is it from Nikolai?
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Yes, dear Nikki...
0:07:26 > 0:07:28He...
0:07:28 > 0:07:31He was wounded, but it's all better now, he says.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33And he's been promoted!
0:07:33 > 0:07:34He's an officer now!
0:07:34 > 0:07:36An officer of the line!
0:07:36 > 0:07:38My little Nikki, an officer!
0:07:39 > 0:07:41But wounded!
0:07:41 > 0:07:45I know... What will I tell your mother?
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Tell her about the promotion first.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Yes... Yes.
0:07:49 > 0:07:50And he's really quite recovered?
0:07:50 > 0:07:52So he writes.
0:07:52 > 0:07:53Oh, thank God!
0:07:53 > 0:07:55HE GIGGLES
0:07:55 > 0:07:58He says he's short of money. That's our Nikki!
0:07:58 > 0:08:00I'll send him some.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Nikolai was wounded in battle, but it's all right
0:08:02 > 0:08:04and he's been promoted!
0:08:04 > 0:08:05Hurrah!
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Did he kill many Frenchmen?
0:08:08 > 0:08:10I don't know. Papa didn't say.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14If I were him, I'd have killed hundreds of them!
0:08:14 > 0:08:15Petya! Petya!
0:08:21 > 0:08:23You knew, didn't you?
0:08:24 > 0:08:27- Yes.- He writes to you?
0:08:28 > 0:08:31He must really be in love with you.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42CHURCH BELLS TOLL IN THE DISTANCE
0:08:53 > 0:08:54I have to go.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01What time is it? Parade's not till noon.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05No, I've got an appointment. My cousin, Boris Drubetskoy,
0:09:05 > 0:09:06he's in the Guards.
0:09:06 > 0:09:07Oh, very grand(!)
0:09:13 > 0:09:17Can you take care of the bill for...
0:09:18 > 0:09:21- I'll pay you back!- Off you go, my boy. Think nothing of it!
0:09:26 > 0:09:29Come on... Come in with me and get warm!
0:09:30 > 0:09:31Move up.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51DOOR OPENS
0:09:53 > 0:09:56Rostov! I didn't expect you so soon!
0:09:58 > 0:10:00Sorry, you know Captain Berg? He's in our company.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Happy to make your acquaintance.
0:10:02 > 0:10:07Well. You look - I don't know... you look like a real cavalryman now.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10And you look like the cat that's got the cream.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12You Guards get the best of everything, don't you?
0:10:12 > 0:10:17We do, we do - the receptions, the dinners, the balls -
0:10:17 > 0:10:21but you've been in action. Come and sit and tell us all about it.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26You were at Schongrabern? That must have been some affair!
0:10:26 > 0:10:30Yes. We, um, we were cut off,
0:10:30 > 0:10:34so there was nothing for it but to charge, head-on, sabres drawn.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37There's no feeling like it, Boris. Nothing in the world.
0:10:37 > 0:10:42You have bullets flying around your ears and you feel no fear, at all,
0:10:42 > 0:10:46just a strange mixture of joy and fury...
0:10:46 > 0:10:49Don't get up. Please don't let me interrupt you, sir.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Count Nikolai Rostov, Prince Andrei Bolkonsky.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Please go on.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57You were in the cavalry charge in Schongrabern, you say?
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Yes, I was there.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Yes. There are many stories told of that action.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05Perhaps, but the stories told by the men who were actually there,
0:11:05 > 0:11:07under enemy fire, in the thick of it,
0:11:07 > 0:11:11are a different thing to the stories told by fellows on the staff,
0:11:11 > 0:11:13who get rewards for doing nothing.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16And you consider me one of those, do you?
0:11:16 > 0:11:18I'm not talking about you!
0:11:18 > 0:11:20I don't know you and I don't wish to.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22I speak of the staff in general!
0:11:25 > 0:11:27Let me tell you this...
0:11:27 > 0:11:30You wish to insult me? I'd be glad to teach you a lesson.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34But this is hardly the time or the place for duelling.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37Very soon, we shall all be engaged in something much greater
0:11:37 > 0:11:40and more terrible than Schongrabern.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44You save your valour for that, Count Rostov.
0:11:45 > 0:11:49I won't stay. We can settle our business tomorrow.
0:11:50 > 0:11:51I wish you all good day.
0:11:54 > 0:11:55Damn him.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00- He as good as called me a liar! - Come, come. Drink up.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04Some of us know a hero when we meet one.
0:12:06 > 0:12:07THEY CHUCKLE
0:12:09 > 0:12:12"To Prince Nikolai Andreyich Bolkonsky.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16"My dear Prince, I shall shortly be in your neighbourhood.
0:12:16 > 0:12:20"I am going to an inspection and my son Anatole is keeping me company
0:12:20 > 0:12:24"on his way to the army. I hope you will allow me to introduce him
0:12:24 > 0:12:28"to you and to your daughter, the Princess Marya."
0:12:28 > 0:12:29Damned impudence!
0:12:45 > 0:12:46Papa, is she really very ugly?
0:12:46 > 0:12:50No, of course not! She's said to be a little on the plain side,
0:12:50 > 0:12:52but perfectly acceptable.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55More to the point, she has impeccable breeding
0:12:55 > 0:12:58and she'll bring a considerable fortune to the marriage.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00I need you to be on your very best behaviour
0:13:00 > 0:13:04and to treat the Princess and her father with the utmost respect.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07- Understood?- Yes, Papa.
0:13:07 > 0:13:11This is an innocent girl who knows nothing of the world.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13You must appear to her as utterly pure and honourable.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16I AM utterly pure and honourable.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21I've never cared for Vassily Kuragin.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23He's a schemer and a ladies' man.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27No doubt his son's the same - or worse!
0:13:28 > 0:13:31Of course, they're after Marya for her money!
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Well, no-one's going to take her for her looks!
0:13:33 > 0:13:35HE CHUCKLES
0:13:35 > 0:13:36What?
0:13:36 > 0:13:37Nothing, your Excellency.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39What, I say?
0:13:40 > 0:13:44Begging your pardon, Excellency. I don't think you want to lose her.
0:13:44 > 0:13:45What?!
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Don't you presume to tell me what I want or don't want!
0:13:48 > 0:13:51She can marry if she likes!
0:13:51 > 0:13:53Though she'll be unhappy, if she does.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55There's no need for girls to marry. No need at all.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57They'd be much better off staying at home.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01It's a bad business, Tikhon!
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Well, better get it over with.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07What do you think?
0:14:07 > 0:14:09Perhaps with her hair done up high like this?
0:14:09 > 0:14:14Oui, peut-etre... Ooh, and with a silk ribbon to tie it up...
0:14:14 > 0:14:17Katya! Go and fetch us a ribbon to match with the dress!
0:14:17 > 0:14:22Courage! We are going to make you look fit for a prince!
0:14:23 > 0:14:27You know you have to make a little effort, dear Marya.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Everybody does at these times.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32What you do now could change your whole life!
0:14:32 > 0:14:34And try to smile, just a little bit!
0:14:34 > 0:14:36This is your big day!
0:14:36 > 0:14:38Ah, yes! That will look so sweet!
0:14:38 > 0:14:39Now, let's see...
0:14:41 > 0:14:43Oui, comme ca! Voila.
0:14:49 > 0:14:50C'est...
0:14:51 > 0:14:52..charmant.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58DOOR OPENS
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Ah! Ah! Here she is!
0:15:03 > 0:15:05Well, come in, girl!
0:15:09 > 0:15:12Do you remember me at all, Princess?
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Yes, very well, Prince Vassily.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17This is my son, Anatole.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27So, you've tarted yourself up for our guests, have you?
0:15:27 > 0:15:28Very fine, very fine!
0:15:28 > 0:15:31You put your hair up in that stupid fashion for our guests,
0:15:31 > 0:15:36but I say to you, in front of our guests, I don't care for it!
0:15:36 > 0:15:38Mon pere, you mustn't blame her. It was all my doing!
0:15:38 > 0:15:40Well, there was no reason to make herself look ugly.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43- She's plain enough as it is! - On the contrary, this hairstyle
0:15:43 > 0:15:46is most becoming to the Princess.
0:15:46 > 0:15:47Indeed, quite...charming.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51Nonsense. So, you're off to war, are you? Horse Guards?
0:15:51 > 0:15:54- No, sir, I've been transferred to the Infantry.- Excellent. Very good.
0:15:54 > 0:15:59- To serve your Tsar and country. What regiment?- Ah, I'm enlisted in...
0:16:00 > 0:16:02What am I enlisted in, Papa?
0:16:03 > 0:16:05"What am I enlisted in?"!
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Ha! A fine warrior!
0:16:07 > 0:16:09Doesn't know his own regiment!
0:16:09 > 0:16:12I know, I know, it's a scandal.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16- You're more for the ladies, I take it.- I suppose I am, sir.- Yes.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19Yes, well, I'll leave you to it.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21(Impudent puppy.)
0:16:33 > 0:16:36Quite shy-making, all this, isn't it?
0:16:36 > 0:16:38But you're not shy.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42Indeed I am. I'm petrified of your father. He's so fierce.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44He has a quick temper.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47Does he beat you?
0:16:47 > 0:16:48No!
0:16:48 > 0:16:51Well, that's...something, isn't it?
0:16:54 > 0:16:55Does your father beat you?
0:16:58 > 0:16:59Only when I've been very naughty.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05I don't believe you!
0:17:05 > 0:17:07SHE LAUGHS
0:17:13 > 0:17:17SHE SINGS IN ITALIAN
0:17:33 > 0:17:37SINGING FADES
0:18:16 > 0:18:20You must know what it is I am hoping for, my dear friend -
0:18:20 > 0:18:25an alliance between our families. My son and your lovely daughter...
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Pish!
0:18:27 > 0:18:32But I know how dear the Princess is to you.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35I could understand if you couldn't bear to part with her...
0:18:35 > 0:18:37Part with her? She can marry tomorrow!
0:18:37 > 0:18:40But I won't have her taken advantage of!
0:18:40 > 0:18:43You know my rules - everything in the open!
0:18:43 > 0:18:46I'll ask her tomorrow, in your presence.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48If she wants him, let him stay a while, and I'll see.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55I'll be frank with you. I know you see straight through people.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01Anatole's not the brightest button in the box...
0:19:02 > 0:19:05..but he's a good boy, an excellent son and...
0:19:07 > 0:19:09..he's one of us, you know.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11I said I'll see, didn't I?
0:19:11 > 0:19:13Let her marry him if she wants. It's all the same to me.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18Very good. I'm most grateful.
0:19:26 > 0:19:27Goodnight, Princess.
0:19:34 > 0:19:35Mademoiselle Bourienne.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38(When?)
0:19:41 > 0:19:43No!
0:19:43 > 0:19:45When I've heard from your father
0:19:45 > 0:19:47that you've learnt to behave yourself,
0:19:47 > 0:19:48then I'll give you my hand to kiss!
0:19:48 > 0:19:51Well, then, I shall wish you ladies goodnight.
0:20:04 > 0:20:05How did it go?
0:20:06 > 0:20:10She's damnably dull looking, isn't she, poor little thing!
0:20:10 > 0:20:12But did she like you?
0:20:12 > 0:20:13Oh, yes, I think so.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15And could you put up with her, do you think?
0:20:15 > 0:20:18To please you, Papa? Yes, I could.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21After all, we wouldn't always be together.
0:20:22 > 0:20:27She'd be off praying and doing good works, I imagine.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31The other one, though, that French one...
0:20:31 > 0:20:32Don't you dare!
0:20:32 > 0:20:35No, no, of course not.
0:20:35 > 0:20:36I was just saying.
0:20:39 > 0:20:40How was it with the old man?
0:20:40 > 0:20:45Hard going. But he wants the best for his daughter.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49And she wants me.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58Oh, blessed Jesus.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Is it wrong to think a man so beautiful,
0:21:00 > 0:21:03to...long for him to touch me?
0:21:05 > 0:21:08Though I fear it, tell me if that is what you want for me,
0:21:08 > 0:21:11let me simply be the instrument of your will.

0:21:18 > 0:21:19Come in, come in, sit down.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22Something to say to you.
0:21:23 > 0:21:29Now, Miss, a proposal has been made to me, concerning you.
0:21:29 > 0:21:34And since you know my rules, I'm referring it to you.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36How might I understand you, Papa?
0:21:36 > 0:21:39What I mean is,
0:21:39 > 0:21:42Prince Vassily finds you to his taste as a daughter-in-law,
0:21:42 > 0:21:47so he's proposing to you, on behalf of his son. What do you say to that?
0:21:48 > 0:21:52Oh... I don't know what to say.
0:21:52 > 0:21:53What do you think about it?
0:21:53 > 0:21:56What do I think about it? It's nothing to do with me!
0:21:56 > 0:21:57No-one's proposing to me!
0:21:57 > 0:22:00It's what you think, Miss, that's the issue!
0:22:01 > 0:22:03But I only want what you want for me, Father.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08But if you ask me, I do like him.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Oh, splendid!
0:22:11 > 0:22:12So, he'll get you and your dowry
0:22:12 > 0:22:16and he'll take her as well. You'll be the wife and she'll be the...
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Come, come, I'm only joking.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24Perhaps you should go to your room and think it over.
0:22:24 > 0:22:28And in an hour, come to the drawing room and say yes or no.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30Yes or no, do you understand?
0:22:31 > 0:22:32All right. Off with you!

0:23:37 > 0:23:40Ah, here she is! Come in, girl.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52My dear little Princess Marya,
0:23:52 > 0:23:55I have always loved you like my own daughter.
0:23:55 > 0:24:00And now, the fate of my son is in your hands.
0:24:00 > 0:24:01There, you see.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04The Prince is proposing to you, on behalf of his son.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08So, I ask you, do you or do you not
0:24:08 > 0:24:11want to be the wife of Prince Anatole Kuragin?
0:24:11 > 0:24:16Answer yes or no and I retain my right to express my opinion as well.
0:24:16 > 0:24:17So, what is it, yes or no?
0:24:19 > 0:24:22Father, my wish is never to leave you.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24I don't want to marry at all.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29What nonsense is this? Come here, girl!
0:24:29 > 0:24:31There, there!
0:24:31 > 0:24:35My dear Princess, this is a moment I shall never forget.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38Will you not give me a little hope of touching so great,
0:24:38 > 0:24:40so generous a heart?
0:24:40 > 0:24:43Say that, perhaps...
0:24:43 > 0:24:46the future is so large... Say, perhaps?
0:24:47 > 0:24:51Princess Marya, I do hope I haven't offended you in any way?
0:24:51 > 0:24:54May I not return and try again?
0:24:54 > 0:24:56Prince Vassily, er...
0:24:57 > 0:24:59I have said all that I feel in my heart.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02I thank you for the honour, but I shall never be your son's wife.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06Yes, well, that's the end of that, then!
0:25:06 > 0:25:08Very good to see you, Kuragin, and your boy
0:25:08 > 0:25:10and I wish you both a safe journey.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12Marya, go to your room. All done.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15Very, very glad to see you, old friend, and no hard feelings.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17All done! Ha! Very good!
0:25:17 > 0:25:20Well, that's done. Excellent! Very good.

0:25:43 > 0:25:47CHEERING
0:25:47 > 0:25:51Fine men. Makes my heart glad to see their eager faces.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55I think we should have a great victory tomorrow.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58With respect, your Majesty, we should not engage with Napoleon
0:25:58 > 0:26:01at all tomorrow, or any time soon.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04Bonaparte has withdrawn his troops. He's asked for talks.
0:26:04 > 0:26:08He's desperate to avoid a battle. All my generals are in agreement
0:26:08 > 0:26:09except for you.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12Again, with respect, your Majesty, that doesn't make them right.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16And what would you do?
0:26:16 > 0:26:17Retreat.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20Retreat! I never hear anything else from you.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22Any more retreat would be humiliation.
0:26:22 > 0:26:26I think you may be getting too old for this game, Kutuzov.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28My mind is made up.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30We'll engage with him here - and defeat him!
0:26:35 > 0:26:36The die is cast.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40What do you think will happen tomorrow, your Grace?
0:26:40 > 0:26:43I think we will lose this battle and a great many men will die.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47You're a married man, Bolkonsky?
0:26:47 > 0:26:50Yes, my Lise is with child.
0:26:50 > 0:26:51Ah.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53I should have better kept in touch with her.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56I haven't been a very affectionate husband.
0:26:58 > 0:26:59But no use saying that now.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04Write to her before you sleep tonight, my boy.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06It might be the last chance you get.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13"My dearest Lise.
0:27:14 > 0:27:18"Forgive me for not having written before.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20"I have been a neglectful husband.
0:27:20 > 0:27:24"But now I think of you with nothing but tenderness and remorse.
0:27:27 > 0:27:31"Marya, I wear your icon and think of you every day, my dear sister.
0:27:33 > 0:27:34"Papa..."
0:27:40 > 0:27:42And yet, I give them all up for one moment of glory.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12Sire.
0:28:23 > 0:28:24Madness.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26Do we join the attack, your Grace?
0:28:26 > 0:28:30- Hold your ground!- But the orders are to advance and engage the enemy
0:28:30 > 0:28:31on their right flank, your Grace!
0:28:31 > 0:28:35- Do you take your orders from me or not?- Of course, your Grace.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38Then, hold your ground! At least we won't make fools of ourselves.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43To hold this hill is vital. Let them come to us.
0:28:45 > 0:28:47Sir.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49Ah...our glorious leader.
0:28:50 > 0:28:52Your Majesty.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55Kutuzov! Why have you not advanced?
0:28:55 > 0:28:58Because that's what Napoleon wants us to do, your Majesty.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00But you understand the disposition, do you not?
0:29:00 > 0:29:04Perfectly, your Majesty. However, if you order me to advance...
0:29:04 > 0:29:06I do! Kindly give the order!
0:29:13 > 0:29:14Forward!
0:29:29 > 0:29:30Excellent.
0:29:40 > 0:29:41I can't see a thing.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43Where are we?
0:29:43 > 0:29:46More to the point, where are the French?
0:29:51 > 0:29:52Sir, look there.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12Even worse than I thought.
0:30:14 > 0:30:17SCREAMING
0:30:19 > 0:30:21Forward, at the double!
0:30:45 > 0:30:49Rostov, ride over to Kutuzov. Are we to advance or stand our ground?
0:30:49 > 0:30:52Well, go on, man! Quick as you like!
0:31:05 > 0:31:08It's all up, lads. Run for it!
0:31:18 > 0:31:20Stop those men!
0:31:20 > 0:31:22My God, Bolkonsky, what a shambles!
0:31:33 > 0:31:36Forward, lads! Hurrah!
0:32:12 > 0:32:15Where's General Kutuzov?
0:32:15 > 0:32:18Answer me, damn you! Where is the Tsar?
0:32:18 > 0:32:22I don't know, Excellency. They say the Tsar's dead, and Kutuzov, too.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24Wounded! Taken away on a cart!
0:32:24 > 0:32:25Where?
0:32:25 > 0:32:27That way, Excellency!
0:32:44 > 0:32:45That'll do.
0:34:14 > 0:34:15How beautiful.
0:34:18 > 0:34:20How is it I've never seen this before?
0:34:22 > 0:34:27We are all nothing, compared to this clear, blue, infinite sky.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33He looks like a fine young man.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37Good way to die, you see. Carrying the standard.
0:35:15 > 0:35:17Oh, it's you. What do you want?
0:35:17 > 0:35:19Are you going out this evening?
0:35:19 > 0:35:21Yes. Why?
0:35:21 > 0:35:27I was thinking we could go out together. Or stay at home together.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29Are you perfectly well, Pierre?
0:35:31 > 0:35:34I've been thinking we should...
0:35:34 > 0:35:36We should have a child, Helene.
0:35:39 > 0:35:43Don't be silly. You know I'm not the motherly type.
0:35:43 > 0:35:46We get along all right, don't we? Don't spoil things.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49I'm not jealous, you can have other women, as many as you like,
0:35:49 > 0:35:51have children with them, like your father. Why not?
0:35:51 > 0:35:56I don't want other women. I want us to be a proper husband and wife!
0:35:56 > 0:35:58We are a proper husband and wife!
0:35:58 > 0:36:01Now, stop fussing me. You'll make me late.
0:36:06 > 0:36:10Oh, by the way, I ran into Dolokhov today. They're all back from war.
0:36:10 > 0:36:11The poor fellow's penniless,
0:36:11 > 0:36:14I said he could come and stay here as long as he likes.
0:36:15 > 0:36:16That brute?
0:36:16 > 0:36:18He's my friend, Helene, and a war hero.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21He's an insolent brute, with no respect for women.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24He is my friend, Helene, and you will treat him as an honoured guest.

0:37:29 > 0:37:31This man taught me all I know about soldiering!
0:37:31 > 0:37:33Looked after him, as best I could.
0:37:33 > 0:37:36Well then, you are doubly welcome, my dear Denisov! Are you hungry?
0:37:36 > 0:37:37Yes.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39Let's find you something to eat!

0:38:05 > 0:38:06What about her?
0:38:08 > 0:38:11How do you really feel about her?
0:38:11 > 0:38:12Is she the only one for you?
0:38:14 > 0:38:15Why do you ask that now?
0:38:15 > 0:38:19Because it's very important. For her, if not for you.
0:38:19 > 0:38:21Of course she's important to me.
0:38:21 > 0:38:22Well, then?
0:38:23 > 0:38:24Well, it's simple.
0:38:24 > 0:38:27I gave her my word and I never go back on my word.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29No, no, that's duty, not love.
0:38:29 > 0:38:31I do love her, Tasha,
0:38:31 > 0:38:35but how can I say that I'll never fall in love with anyone else?
0:38:36 > 0:38:37Hmm?
0:38:40 > 0:38:41What does she say?
0:38:43 > 0:38:48She adores you, but she doesn't want you to be bound by your word.
0:38:48 > 0:38:50She wants you to be free.
0:38:50 > 0:38:51She's so good.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53Yes, she is, but if you keep her hanging on
0:38:53 > 0:38:56and then break your word, you'll break her heart.
0:38:56 > 0:38:58I could never do that, Tasha.

0:44:03 > 0:44:04What is it, Masha?
0:44:11 > 0:44:14I'm just sad. Sad about Andrei, that's all.
0:44:14 > 0:44:17Why? Have you heard something?
0:44:17 > 0:44:19Oh, no!
0:44:19 > 0:44:22No, no, no, no. It's too early for any news,
0:44:22 > 0:44:25it's just Papa worries and I'm frightened. That's all.
0:44:25 > 0:44:28Are you sure? You frightened me!
0:44:28 > 0:44:30Lise. There's no news.
0:44:33 > 0:44:35I must go back to Papa.
0:44:46 > 0:44:49WHIRRING
0:44:59 > 0:45:00I didn't tell her.
0:45:04 > 0:45:06And you must not tell her, either.
0:45:06 > 0:45:08She is in such a delicate state,
0:45:08 > 0:45:10and so close to her confinement, I...
0:45:10 > 0:45:11All right.
0:45:13 > 0:45:14Do you agree?
0:45:14 > 0:45:16I said all right! Thank you! That's the end of it!
0:45:16 > 0:45:19WHIRRING RESUMES
0:45:52 > 0:45:53Mm!
0:45:57 > 0:46:00Dolokhov, really!
0:46:00 > 0:46:03Funny how it always tastes better from another fellow's plate.
0:47:31 > 0:47:33- Hello!- Hello.
0:47:35 > 0:47:37All right, remember me?
0:47:37 > 0:47:39You're a fine fellow!
0:47:39 > 0:47:43You've all grown. I'd have hardly recognised you!
0:47:43 > 0:47:46HARPSICHORD PLAYS
0:47:48 > 0:47:50HE LAUGHS
0:47:53 > 0:47:56Look who's come to visit us!
0:47:56 > 0:48:01Oh, Pierre! We haven't seen you in ages!
0:48:01 > 0:48:04Now I see you, I wish I'd come sooner. How are you all?
0:48:04 > 0:48:09Nikolai! You're a real man now, I can tell.
0:48:09 > 0:48:11Something's changed in you, I think.
0:48:11 > 0:48:12For the good, I hope.
0:48:12 > 0:48:14Yes, yes, of course!
0:48:14 > 0:48:17My friend Captain Vassily Denisov, of the Pavlograd Hussars.
0:48:17 > 0:48:18I'm privileged to meet you, sir.
0:48:18 > 0:48:22I feel ashamed of my lazy life when I see men like you and Nikolai.
0:48:22 > 0:48:24Heroes. I should have been with you.
0:48:24 > 0:48:27I used to think of Napoleon as a hero, you see.
0:48:27 > 0:48:29And perhaps he was, once, but not now. He seems to think of nothing
0:48:29 > 0:48:32but conquest and glory. He had to be stopped!
0:48:33 > 0:48:34I was wrong.
0:48:37 > 0:48:40Papa's hosting a banquet for our returning soldiers!
0:48:40 > 0:48:42I hope you will come, Pierre?
0:48:42 > 0:48:44Yes, yes, indeed. It will be an honour to drink to their health!
0:48:44 > 0:48:47Talking of heroes, isn't Dolokhov making his home with you?
0:48:47 > 0:48:48Yes. Yes, he is.
0:48:48 > 0:48:50It was so kind of you to take him in.
0:48:51 > 0:48:53Well, one does what one can.
0:48:53 > 0:48:55Splendid fellow.
0:48:57 > 0:49:00It's so good to be here with you all again.
0:49:02 > 0:49:05What is it, Pierre? Why are you sad?
0:49:05 > 0:49:08It's nothing. I'm not sad.
0:49:08 > 0:49:09Just happy to see you.
0:49:11 > 0:49:14I thought you might have brought the Countess.
0:49:14 > 0:49:16Sadly, she's otherwise engaged.
0:49:17 > 0:49:19MOANING
0:49:19 > 0:49:21What a vile creature you are, Dolokhov.
0:49:21 > 0:49:22And don't you love it?!
0:49:24 > 0:49:27I hate you. You're an animal.
0:49:49 > 0:49:51Ah!
0:49:51 > 0:49:53What is it, dearest?
0:49:53 > 0:49:55I don't know.
0:49:55 > 0:49:58I think something in my breakfast must have disagreed with me.
0:49:58 > 0:49:59Look at her. She's very pale!
0:49:59 > 0:50:01SHE GASPS
0:50:01 > 0:50:03Hadn't we better send for Maria Bogdanovna?
0:50:03 > 0:50:06Yes, I think you're right, I'll go and see to it.
0:50:06 > 0:50:08Courage, mon ange!
0:50:08 > 0:50:11No! Can it be, so soon?
0:50:11 > 0:50:13But surely it's just a stomach ache?
0:50:13 > 0:50:16It's best to be on the safe side, ma cherie.
0:50:23 > 0:50:25When did this come?
0:50:25 > 0:50:27- Just now, your Excellency. - Thank you.
0:50:33 > 0:50:36"Perhaps you should get some new spectacles, Count Bezukhov,
0:50:36 > 0:50:39"then you might see what everyone sees but you -
0:50:39 > 0:50:42"your wife's affair with Dolokhov."
0:51:12 > 0:51:13What's the matter?
0:51:13 > 0:51:15Nothing.
0:51:16 > 0:51:17I'm going out.
0:51:19 > 0:51:22Are you going to the men's dinner this evening?
0:51:22 > 0:51:25Yes. No! I don't know! I suppose I might, as well.
0:51:25 > 0:51:28Why not? Your disgusting friend Dolokhov's going.
0:51:31 > 0:51:33Try not to drink too much, the pair of you!
0:52:09 > 0:52:12SHE PRAYS QUIETLY

0:52:29 > 0:52:32Princess, someone's come down the avenue. A coach, with lanterns!
0:52:32 > 0:52:36Oh, thank God. The doctor, at last!
0:52:49 > 0:52:51Quickly! Are you the doctor?
0:52:53 > 0:52:54Andrei!
0:52:56 > 0:52:57Dear Masha!
0:52:57 > 0:52:58Is it really you?
0:53:01 > 0:53:02SHE WHIMPERS
0:53:03 > 0:53:06Come inside, quickly!
0:53:10 > 0:53:12SHE YELLS IN PAIN
0:53:16 > 0:53:18I can't... I can't bear it!
0:53:18 > 0:53:21There, there. Not long now.
0:53:21 > 0:53:22Courage, ma petite.
0:53:27 > 0:53:29My darling!
0:53:31 > 0:53:33SHE GROANS IN PAIN
0:53:35 > 0:53:37If you would wait outside, your Excellency. I must insist,
0:53:37 > 0:53:38it's for the best.

0:56:40 > 0:56:42Come, Prince Bagration, cheer up.
0:56:42 > 0:56:44You're our guest of honour, you know.
0:56:44 > 0:56:47Yes, that's Russia for you. Suffer a terrible defeat,
0:56:47 > 0:56:48and they praise you to the skies.
0:56:48 > 0:56:50No, no, we'll have none of that!
0:56:50 > 0:56:53All our commanders are first-class men. We'll thrash Napoleon yet.
0:56:53 > 0:56:55HE CLEARS THROAT
