0:00:14 > 0:00:19Here is the true story of a group of free people who lived and loved
0:00:19 > 0:00:23and fought to drive the invaders from their native soil.
0:00:32 > 0:00:37One of the thousands of guerrilla bands who, hidden in the forests,
0:00:37 > 0:00:42lived days of imperishable glory.
0:00:44 > 0:00:52Their leader had been left behind by the army to organise them.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Semyon had taught at Oxford.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59Yelena was a girl from the factories.
0:00:59 > 0:01:04Sasha was an amiable drunk. Fedor was a blacksmith.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07Dmitri was a farmer.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11Petrov was the silent one.
0:01:11 > 0:01:1716-year-old Mitya, a volunteer. His sister Olga, the little mother.
0:01:17 > 0:01:24Later, Nina joined the group - a dancer from Moscow, as played by a famous ballerina.
0:01:24 > 0:01:29By fall of that first year, Hitler's armies were en route to Moscow.
0:01:29 > 0:01:34It was not wise to venture far off the highways.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38For there, in the great Russian forests, were the guerrillas.
0:03:12 > 0:03:17Now you see, you fool. Why didn't you stay home?
0:04:20 > 0:04:24Dmitri comes in the wagon. Petrov comes from the lake.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Oh, good. Very fine.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34I have written, "One oil tank blown up, single-handed."
0:04:34 > 0:04:38Oh, it was not difficult.
0:04:38 > 0:04:46As to your household duties, you will peel the potatoes for supper tonight.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Always the potatoes.
0:04:49 > 0:04:55- It only seems as if always. - Did you write down that I found a derelict in the woods?
0:04:55 > 0:05:02- Yes, comrade.- She looked so little. I slung her over my shoulder like a wounded deer.
0:05:07 > 0:05:13You'd better get into the kitchen. The potatoes won't peel themselves.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Petrov, did you succeed?
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Yes. Here it is.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22How did you get it?
0:05:22 > 0:05:28I watched the road where the German courier would come. I stretched a wire across.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32- His motorcycle turned over and... - You shot him?
0:05:32 > 0:05:34No, Semyon.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41This despatch is better than I'd hoped.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Directly from German headquarters.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48It's remarkable you managed to get it.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51SASHA SINGS DRUNKENLY
0:05:54 > 0:05:57Good evening, comrades.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00Good evening, Sasha.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04You have two pairs of boots, which means you finished off two fascists.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08Yelena shot the boots. I only heard the shots.
0:06:08 > 0:06:13I arrived in time to do the dirty job of transport.
0:06:13 > 0:06:19- Sasha, you are drunk again. - Not while on duty, comrade.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23- Only on the way home. - I have to report it.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26Oh, don't do that, Semyon. Don't.
0:06:26 > 0:06:31Look, I sleep off this tiny bit of drunkenness.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35When Vladimir comes, I won't take a drop any more.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39- Where the devil do you get a drink?- The Germans.
0:06:39 > 0:06:44- You mean they come up and offer you a drink?- Well, not exactly.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48First we have to lay them down on the ground.
0:06:48 > 0:06:55- If the Germans take the trouble of bringing it from their far country... - Better give it to me.
0:07:03 > 0:07:08You should be at look-out. Better rest for a minute.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Sayings are always true.
0:07:10 > 0:07:16"He who drinks when he's already drunk plays the part of a wise man."
0:07:16 > 0:07:22- What's this? Dmitri was to bring potatoes.- Books from Tolstoy Museum.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26The fascists set fire to the building.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Curator was murdered. God's will.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33The treasures of the museum.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37- A first edition. - There are more in the wagon.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40Now there is irony.
0:07:40 > 0:07:46The Nazis spill their lives over books, and what to them could be more useless?
0:07:46 > 0:07:50Well, then, hurry - let's bring them in.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53Yelena, you're on household duties.
0:07:53 > 0:07:59My congratulations for the deaths of two fascists. Now set the table.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Not enough salt.
0:08:08 > 0:08:14- Is supper ready?- How could it be? The borscht needs more cooking.
0:08:14 > 0:08:19I had to do the potatoes myself. This blacksmith came late to help.
0:08:19 > 0:08:24- Much good a man in a kitchen does(!)- I sliced the bread.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27- You should have done your duties. - How?
0:08:27 > 0:08:32- I had to make tea and run back and forth.- Where to?
0:08:32 > 0:08:34To the package on Fedor's bed.
0:08:34 > 0:08:39He brought in a package - a big coat, and there's somebody in it.
0:08:39 > 0:08:43Half dead from... What did the teacher say?
0:08:43 > 0:08:50Exposure and no food. Teacher Semyon told me to give the package some hot tea.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54- Tea?- Oh, not the new tea that we've used only twice.
0:08:54 > 0:08:59Do you think I'd use it for someone who might die?
0:08:59 > 0:09:02- The old tea, that we've used six times.- Oh.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Here is the good old borscht.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11- You mean the same old borscht. - Always grumbling.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14FOOTSTEPS ABOVE
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Quiet!
0:09:14 > 0:09:17FOOTSTEPS STOP
0:09:24 > 0:09:27Get your guns. Put out the lights.
0:09:40 > 0:09:45- Who is here?- Vladimir! - Stand to attention!
0:09:56 > 0:09:59- Mitya!- He said attention.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02Why is the entrance unguarded?
0:10:02 > 0:10:06- Whose negligence is this? - I am responsible, Commander.
0:10:06 > 0:10:12- I'm very sorry.- There is nothing wrong, little comrade.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Breathe on me.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25You know you could be shot for this.
0:10:25 > 0:10:32I am a dirty, stinking pig, my commander. That's the truth. But I swear, never again...
0:10:32 > 0:10:39I've never known you to be drunk on duty, or to fail to be a good soldier in a tight spot.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43I'll tell you your punishment tomorrow. Get up where you belong.
0:10:43 > 0:10:49- Mitya, don't you want to kiss me? - Don't you see that I am in service?
0:10:49 > 0:10:52- Who are you?- An old peasant.
0:10:52 > 0:10:53I know him very well.
0:10:53 > 0:11:00- It's ten days since he was with us. I can vouch for him.- Where is Sergei and Mikhail?- They died.
0:11:01 > 0:11:02Oh.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07Vladimir, supper will spoil.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09- Now?- Yes.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13- Mitya!- Little sister!
0:11:13 > 0:11:16You must be chilled. I'll fetch the plates.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20- Whom did you see at headquarters? - Whom did you talk to?
0:11:20 > 0:11:24- Did you see Comrade Moshenkov?- >
0:11:24 > 0:11:27We were as close to him as I am to you now.
0:11:27 > 0:11:32Another general patted me on the shoulder and said, "How are you?"
0:11:32 > 0:11:36Seriously, we would like to learn a few things.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40Mitya here has said it - a general patted us on the shoulder.
0:11:40 > 0:11:47- Did you bring the new parts for the field radio?- Yes, but we're not permitted to use it in future,
0:11:47 > 0:11:51especially for the sending of messages.
0:11:51 > 0:11:56It's particularly important that the Nazis do not discover us now.
0:11:56 > 0:12:01- For any special reason?- Orders. I'll tell you when I'm permitted.
0:12:02 > 0:12:07Olga, I have to report that your brother Mitya behaved excellently,
0:12:07 > 0:12:11even though our way back was dangerous.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15I cooked the dinner - the kasha, too.
0:12:15 > 0:12:19- The kasha is very good! - Let him tell it.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23- The kasha is unusually good. - I'm hungry.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32- Who is this?- The package woke up!
0:12:32 > 0:12:37- How do you feel?- All right. A little hungry.- That's easily fixed.
0:12:37 > 0:12:42Our lives depend on secrecy. Has this become an open house?
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Sit here.
0:12:44 > 0:12:51- May I fetch the strange woman a plate for soup?- Of course. And stop acting like a general.
0:12:51 > 0:12:57- Let's go on with supper.- First you had better tell us your name.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01My name? Nina. Nina Ivanova.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04Are you partisans?
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Thank you.
0:13:06 > 0:13:10- I am Mitya.- Mitya! Come here.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17It is SHE who's answering who SHE is!
0:13:17 > 0:13:24- How'd you get here? - Stalin requested a theatrical troupe to go to the front.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27We were attacked and we scattered.
0:13:27 > 0:13:33I set out to find my uncle in Tula. In the woods I became confused. And this good man found me.
0:13:36 > 0:13:43- There's fighting at Tula. Why didn't you take her to safety farther back?- I was tired, comrade.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46Working all last night and all day, I...
0:13:46 > 0:13:51- But here...- Is it too much to ask for a place at your table?
0:13:51 > 0:13:56- What can you do? Can you shoot a gun?- A gun?
0:13:56 > 0:13:59- Can you kill?- Oh, I couldn't kill.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02- What's your record, Yelena?- 63.
0:14:02 > 0:14:08Well, in the south there is a girl who has killed more than a hundred.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10- You can cook?- Oh, no.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13Can't cook? And you're a woman?
0:14:13 > 0:14:17- Can you scrub? Mend clothes? - I never have.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21- What CAN you do? - I'm a dancer. I can dance.
0:14:21 > 0:14:26- SEMYON:- Really? A dancer? - That's exactly what we need(!)
0:14:26 > 0:14:30HE IMITATES MACHINE-GUN FIRE
0:14:32 > 0:14:34Sasha, you're a drunken fool.
0:14:34 > 0:14:39Much better for all of us if the Comrade Leader had you shot.
0:14:42 > 0:14:48- I was sent to relieve you. - How is our happy home underground?
0:14:48 > 0:14:52The strange woman woke up. Commander will let her stay a while.

0:17:14 > 0:17:19She fell in love with the hero of her dreams, who did not reciprocate.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23Is a fictitious love story important today?
0:17:23 > 0:17:30Yes, in this cruel today when the girls fight alongside the men, we can smile at Pushkin's time.
0:17:30 > 0:17:36A young girl is considered audacious for writing a love letter.
0:17:36 > 0:17:42- "I write you."- Yes. - "If I took an hour I could not make myself more plain.

0:18:39 > 0:18:44- What sort of place is this? - A monastery, once.
0:18:44 > 0:18:51This was occupied by Comrade Mikhail, who died - a good soldier. You may use it tonight.
0:18:56 > 0:19:01- Thank you for your kindness, comrade.- You're welcome, I'm sure.
0:19:03 > 0:19:07A woman who knows nothing to be a housewife!
0:19:07 > 0:19:11When you grow up, you'll admire such a woman.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14Stop that confounded cat concert!
0:19:14 > 0:19:20Shut up, you dirty blacksmith! You think I'm afraid of your muscles?
0:19:20 > 0:19:23I'll punch you in the belly!

0:19:30 > 0:19:34Haven't you enough Germans to fight, you two?
0:19:34 > 0:19:39We're gonna have more to do than quarrel like schoolboys.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43We'll look these over in the morning.
0:19:47 > 0:19:52- And where are you going? - Oh, I... I just thought...
0:19:52 > 0:19:57I would steal into the village to see the old woman.
0:19:57 > 0:20:01At first you would think that I'm a German invader!
0:20:01 > 0:20:04Good night, all of you.

0:20:13 > 0:20:15Vladimir?
0:20:15 > 0:20:20- I'll relieve Petrov on the watch. - You must be tired.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23We have to be doubly cautious now.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26But tonight? You were gone for a long time.
0:20:27 > 0:20:32I've some plans to think through before I can rest.

0:21:19 > 0:21:25I'd like to ask you that when the end comes, because the end is coming for us...
0:21:25 > 0:21:33- What are you talking about?- I have watched you since you returned. I have seen there is something.
0:21:33 > 0:21:40When a man has a load on his heart, he can easily recognise a load on another man's heart.
0:21:42 > 0:21:48Listen, one day soon this message will come from the military front -
0:21:48 > 0:21:50"Snow will fall."
0:21:50 > 0:21:53And then it will really start.
0:21:53 > 0:21:58The fate of this line and this whole front may depend on us.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00Maybe it will pay,
0:22:00 > 0:22:02maybe not.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Will you be afraid?
0:22:05 > 0:22:10Comrade Commander, I wanted to ask from you that when the time comes,
0:22:10 > 0:22:14put me in a place where I can kill the most of them.
0:22:14 > 0:22:18I would like to be a bomb to be thrown among them -
0:22:18 > 0:22:23to explode and kill one of them with every little splinter.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25That is all.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30Go get some sleep, comrade.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32Sleep?
0:22:32 > 0:22:34Who can sleep?
0:22:38 > 0:22:42'For a week, the commander formulated his plan.
0:22:42 > 0:22:48'In the stern necessities of war, the beauties of life, music and poetry, were put aside.'
0:22:48 > 0:22:52- Mitya, anything in sight? - Nothing, Commander.
0:22:53 > 0:22:58We'll place our artillery in the woods in an arc along the valley,
0:22:58 > 0:23:02up to the village, well camouflaged.
0:23:02 > 0:23:07I can't bear it any more. For a week now! She can't even make soup.
0:23:07 > 0:23:13- Where are you going?- None of your business.- Why are you cruel to me?
0:23:13 > 0:23:17- Good night, everybody.- Mitya! - Take these back.
0:23:17 > 0:23:18Mitya!
0:23:18 > 0:23:23- Where are you going? - Can't a man take a stroll?!
0:23:29 > 0:23:32- Mitya!- Were you frightened?
0:23:32 > 0:23:36I'm frightened by so many things, it doesn't matter.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39Oh, Mitya. I could kill you!
0:23:39 > 0:23:43Mitya, if I didn't love you so much, I could kill you.
0:23:44 > 0:23:49Tell me about yourself. What's your aim in life? What's your dream?
0:23:49 > 0:23:54- I want to be a geologist. - Oh, a geologist. Very interesting.
0:23:54 > 0:23:58I attended the school of agriculture in our village.
0:23:58 > 0:24:02I learned of the treasures in the Russian soil.
0:24:02 > 0:24:07My father was with me in the same class. We sat side by side.
0:24:07 > 0:24:12He was 50, and just starting to learn reading and writing.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14He was such a good student.
0:24:16 > 0:24:23Then came these beasts of Nazis and destroyed our village, our marvellous school.
0:24:23 > 0:24:29The Nazis killed my father. They burned him in a storehouse with the other people.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32They took away my mother.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35I escaped with little Olga.
0:24:41 > 0:24:45One day our commander will lead us to Berlin.
0:24:45 > 0:24:50I'll be the one to put fire to the Nazi university. That's my dream.
0:24:50 > 0:24:54- I'm so sorry for you, Mitya. - Don't be. I like this life.
0:24:54 > 0:24:59I fight for Mother Russia. It's a great adventure.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Mitya, life owes you something,
0:25:01 > 0:25:04something very beautiful.
0:25:04 > 0:25:11One day you must receive a great medal - one you will not wear on your coat, but in your heart.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14I wish I had something to give you.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Do you like the theatre?
0:25:16 > 0:25:23- I never saw any.- No! - Our village was very small. No actors ever came there.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26If I could only go, just once.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30- Suppose a theatre came to you. - You're joking.
0:25:30 > 0:25:35Why? I'm a ballerina from the Moscow theatre - and not a bad one.
0:25:35 > 0:25:39Sit down here. I will make a little performance.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45You're out there.
0:25:45 > 0:25:50And here's the stage... footlights on.
0:25:50 > 0:25:56The curtain is not yet up. In my dressing room I'm half crazy with excitement.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59Olga, dear. Join us. Sit with Mitya.
0:25:59 > 0:26:05- You should have brought it all the way.- Don't mind her. Continue.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09I look in the mirror to see if I'm made up all right.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12My bodice - do it up, please.
0:26:12 > 0:26:16My tutu - is it fluffy? I want to be at my best.
0:26:17 > 0:26:23And now it's almost starting. I'm in the wings and I'm trembling.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25Do you know why I'm trembling?
0:26:27 > 0:26:30Because you are out front.
0:26:30 > 0:26:37You're the most important person in the world, because you are the audience. Are you proud?
0:26:39 > 0:26:45Without you there is nothing. No success, no career, no performance.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50Now...
0:26:51 > 0:26:54Out front the overture begins.
0:26:54 > 0:26:58Can you hear the music, Mitya?
0:26:58 > 0:27:01MUSIC IS HEARD
0:27:02 > 0:27:05It's very beautiful.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12Now the curtain is rising...
0:27:14 > 0:27:18flooding the stage with light.
0:27:18 > 0:27:22I'm standing in the middle of the stage on one point.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26It's very difficult, but I can do it for almost one minute.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39Mitya...
0:27:42 > 0:27:44Halt still.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53Halt still.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57Drueben bei ihr.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09Was ist das?
0:28:10 > 0:28:13Was macht ihr hier?
0:28:13 > 0:28:18- Wer seid ihr? Und wie seid ihr hergekommen?- What is he asking?
0:28:18 > 0:28:21- Wer seid ihr?- (What can I tell him?)
0:28:21 > 0:28:25It's cold outside and Little Brother and I found shelter.
0:28:25 > 0:28:32- He's 15. A boy.- I'll kill you. - Mitya!- He doesn't understand. I'll kill you!
0:28:41 > 0:28:46Aha. Und was ist das? Ein Guerillanest?
0:28:46 > 0:28:49Und wo sind die anderen?
0:28:51 > 0:28:54- Hier drin? - No-one is here.
0:29:09 > 0:29:14Ein Guerrillanest, so? Vielleicht gerade das eine was wir sucht.
0:29:14 > 0:29:17Das ist eine richtige Entdeckung.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20Der Kommander wird das gefallen.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22Guerrillas, ja!
0:29:46 > 0:29:50- I got them!- Commander, we've captured a German.- Good work.
0:29:56 > 0:29:59- What's your name?- Ihr Name.
0:29:59 > 0:30:04- Answer when you're spoken to. - You might hurt your knuckles.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06- Your name.- Ihr Name.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09Johann Staub.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11- Your regiment.- Ihr Regiment.
0:30:11 > 0:30:17- Infantry Regiment zwei und dreizig. - 32nd Infantry.- Lie. 45th Mechanised.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20- Your commander.- Ihr Kommandant.
0:30:21 > 0:30:24- Don't you know? Von Rundholz.- Ja.
0:30:24 > 0:30:29- Where are you stationed? - Wo steht ihr?- Vitvik.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31Lie! Yasnaya Polyana.
0:30:31 > 0:30:35- How many of you?- Wie stark? ..5,000.- Lie! 2,000!
0:30:35 > 0:30:40- How many tanks?- Wie viele Tanks? ..200.- 75! Lies!
0:30:40 > 0:30:43- Finish him!- MITYA: It's my right!
0:30:43 > 0:30:48- Don't waste your ammunition. This is much simpler.- Vladimir!
0:30:50 > 0:30:52Does the sight offend you?
0:30:54 > 0:30:59Then go where you won't see. This is our affair. You're not one of us.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10Don't do it, comrade.
0:31:10 > 0:31:15This man is a prisoner of war. He was captured in his uniform.
0:31:15 > 0:31:20According to international agreement, he's entitled to a trial.
0:31:20 > 0:31:27- International agreement with Nazis? - Do they have trials before killing thousands of unarmed people?
0:31:27 > 0:31:33- We are guerrillas. We hunt and are hunted. What prisoners?- Listen.
0:31:33 > 0:31:37In this world of blood and misery, there must be some place
0:31:37 > 0:31:41where the laws of justice and humanity are preserved.
0:31:41 > 0:31:46Do as you wish. But I would be very proud if it would be this place.
0:31:46 > 0:31:53Tomorrow. Our work in the forest will take all night. Lock him up and stay on guard.
0:31:53 > 0:31:58- Mitya, come with us. Stay out of mischief.- I threw your soup on him!
0:31:58 > 0:32:00March.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02Dahin.
0:32:06 > 0:32:11- I've brought you some hot tea. - That's very kind of you.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14Over here, then.
0:32:16 > 0:32:23- Mind your step. Why aren't you asleep?- I was restless. - And unhappy?- A little.
0:32:23 > 0:32:28- How did you guess?- I look at you a good deal - more than you suspect.
0:32:28 > 0:32:32- EXPLOSION - What is that?
0:32:32 > 0:32:39- The Germans have brought heavy guns to the village. The front is only six miles away.- So near.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48Is it the war that makes you unhappy?
0:32:48 > 0:32:51Why do they make me an outsider?
0:32:51 > 0:32:58- He especially. He hardly even looks at me.- He has grave problems.
0:32:58 > 0:33:03And the others? Is it because I can't shoot a gun like Yelena?
0:33:03 > 0:33:06Because I'm frightened.
0:33:06 > 0:33:12I can't bear the thought of all this murder and killing and death.
0:33:12 > 0:33:14You are from a strange world.
0:33:14 > 0:33:20A world of music and poetry and dancing. They're afraid of you.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23But I want to be one of them.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27You are warm to me.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32I understand you from what you are.
0:33:32 > 0:33:36A person of light, such life,
0:33:36 > 0:33:40out of place in this region of death.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43DISTANT BOMBING
0:33:45 > 0:33:47Come on. You're getting cold.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50Thank you again for the tea.
0:33:50 > 0:33:54- Thank you. I understand now. - Bless you.
0:34:36 > 0:34:41Ich suche Wasser. Ich bin durstig. Bitte schreien Sie nicht.
0:34:47 > 0:34:51Schau meine Finger. Sie bloten.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54Kamerad...
0:34:54 > 0:35:00Leide Fraulein, lassen Sie mich eine minuten nur ausroden.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02Dan gehe ich!
0:35:04 > 0:35:06Halt still!
0:35:32 > 0:35:35What is it? What's happened?
0:35:35 > 0:35:39- SEMYON:- The German. Somebody shot him.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44Who did it, Comrade Nina?
0:35:44 > 0:35:47Nina? It must have been Nina.
0:35:51 > 0:35:56I...I came to say, in the name of the whole detachment,
0:35:56 > 0:36:01please accept appreciation for a courageous action
0:36:01 > 0:36:05in a dangerous situation.
0:36:05 > 0:36:11I...I know that for you it was especially difficult.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13Semyon told you?
0:36:13 > 0:36:15No.
0:36:16 > 0:36:20One knows and feels a lot of things...
0:36:20 > 0:36:24of which it's untimely to speak now.
0:36:27 > 0:36:32You must understand that this place with us is no proper place for you,
0:36:32 > 0:36:35for your own good and safety.
0:36:35 > 0:36:40I hope, however, that for the time being, you will feel that...
0:36:40 > 0:36:43you're one of us.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47Well... Good night.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50Or good morning.
0:37:03 > 0:37:07'Constantly the guerrilla bands harassed the enemy,
0:37:07 > 0:37:13'emerging from their hiding places, stealing like shadows through the woods.
0:37:16 > 0:37:22'Night was their time for action. Tonight, Vladimir's band was astir,
0:37:22 > 0:37:25'leaving Fedor on guard at home.'
0:37:25 > 0:37:32Here, Fedor. Potato soup and bread. When will you bring me a nice, fat hen?
0:37:32 > 0:37:34Hen? What for, Olinka?
0:37:34 > 0:37:39I want to make chicken soup. Mitya likes it very much.
0:37:39 > 0:37:44Well, the time will come when we will have a fat hen in the pot.
0:37:44 > 0:37:50If not now, then soon. We are going to sit around the table again...
0:37:50 > 0:37:57in our nice new homes, and we will talk about this war as if about a nightmare.
0:37:58 > 0:38:02Everybody will praise the nice chicken soup Big Olga will make.
0:38:02 > 0:38:08- In those days, I'll be married to Mitya.- Married to Mitya?!
0:38:08 > 0:38:12Married to your brother? The law doesn't allow that.
0:38:12 > 0:38:16That's what Mitya said. Who made such a law?
0:38:16 > 0:38:19Who makes all the laws? I don't know.
0:38:19 > 0:38:24If he can't marry me, he should marry someone like me.
0:38:24 > 0:38:28A good housewife. Certainly not that strange woman.
0:38:28 > 0:38:32Why did the Comrade Commander take her with him tonight?
0:38:32 > 0:38:37- To teach her, I suppose. - Well, she did shoot a German.
0:38:37 > 0:38:41- Will they blow up the train? - I hope so.
0:38:41 > 0:38:45- Will they kill a lot of Germans? - Perhaps.- Good.
0:38:45 > 0:38:47Will we hear it here?
0:38:47 > 0:38:50Likely they'll hear it in Berlin!
0:38:56 > 0:39:00He's set dynamite under the rails.
0:39:14 > 0:39:18An armoured train, just as Vladimir thought.
0:39:18 > 0:39:23- The light?- Green. You can trust Comrade Yelena.
0:39:23 > 0:39:26We'll stay here.
0:39:34 > 0:39:38Let's get back now. The ammunition train won't be far behind.
0:39:51 > 0:39:53Stay covered.
0:39:59 > 0:40:03- They've set the signal at red.- Good. - The guard train has stopped.
0:40:10 > 0:40:15- It's coming back.- They've gotten suspicious.- There is still time.
0:41:28 > 0:41:29Down.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32(Petrov! Over here.) >
0:42:57 > 0:43:01I'm sorry I cried out. I was frightened.
0:43:16 > 0:43:20- When you kiss me...- So much?
0:43:20 > 0:43:22Even more.
0:43:23 > 0:43:27- Did I sleep?- For a long time.
0:43:27 > 0:43:30I don't remember.
0:43:30 > 0:43:36- Where is Petrov?- Here, Nina. - We took turns on guard. The Germans were about all night.
0:43:36 > 0:43:39A fine soldier I am.
0:43:39 > 0:43:42Dreaming I was somewhere...
0:43:45 > 0:43:47I don't know where.
0:43:47 > 0:43:49Yes.
0:43:49 > 0:43:52- You too?- Yes.
0:43:52 > 0:43:55- Truly?- Truly.
0:43:55 > 0:43:58In the sky, beyond even...
0:43:58 > 0:44:00Higher.
0:44:07 > 0:44:09A Messerschmitt.
0:44:09 > 0:44:14- Really a German?- Really a German.
0:44:16 > 0:44:20He's over the front lines now at Tula.
0:44:32 > 0:44:38- It's safe to go home. The roads should be clear by now. - We'll be along.
0:44:42 > 0:44:45They caught him.
0:44:56 > 0:44:57Ah!
0:44:59 > 0:45:04- They really... - The look in your eyes.
0:45:04 > 0:45:06Please don't be angry with me.
0:45:06 > 0:45:10I saw the look when you exploded the train
0:45:10 > 0:45:13and when you almost killed the German.
0:45:15 > 0:45:18- What look?- As if to kill something, to destroy something, gave you...
0:45:19 > 0:45:24Forgive me. ..Gave you happiness.
0:45:30 > 0:45:34Before this war, I was an engineer.
0:45:34 > 0:45:38I built things.
0:45:38 > 0:45:42Some factories, some bridges.
0:45:42 > 0:45:46All my life was spent in building.
0:45:46 > 0:45:50I never thought I'd do anything else.
0:45:51 > 0:45:54I loved the things I built.
0:46:02 > 0:46:08I was at Dnieperstroy. I helped with the great dam.
0:46:10 > 0:46:14Out of the imagination of man it was built,
0:46:14 > 0:46:17and with the labour of many hands.
0:46:17 > 0:46:22The whole nation looked to it and waited breathlessly.
0:46:22 > 0:46:27At last, it stood - complete, mighty and beautiful,
0:46:27 > 0:46:32bringing light where there'd never been any light before.
0:46:32 > 0:46:36and power, that other things might be created.
0:46:36 > 0:46:43Poets wrote poems for the great dam. Composers wrote music. Children across the land were named for it.
0:46:43 > 0:46:48It was our own creation, and I'd helped build it.
0:46:54 > 0:46:58And when the Germans came, I helped destroy it.
0:47:07 > 0:47:12Imagine if the professor could tell us what happened to me then.
0:47:12 > 0:47:16Semyon Ivanovich would phrase it neatly.
0:47:16 > 0:47:21"When you destroy something you greatly loved...
0:47:21 > 0:47:25"you learn to love to destroy."
0:47:25 > 0:47:29And do you? Does it give you happiness?
0:47:29 > 0:47:35Sometimes when I destroy something that's been built...I could weep.
0:47:35 > 0:47:40I destroy something else and the feeling goes away.
0:47:40 > 0:47:42Let me in your arms. Darling!
0:47:42 > 0:47:44Nina, Ninotchka.
0:47:44 > 0:47:47Where do you come from?
0:47:47 > 0:47:51Your eyes are as wonderful as a forgotten dream.
0:47:53 > 0:47:58"The strange woman." That's what little Olga calls you.
0:47:58 > 0:48:01Am I all right for you?
0:48:01 > 0:48:04- You?- A woman has to know.
0:48:04 > 0:48:07- Am I all right?- You're perfect.
0:48:07 > 0:48:10Never mind perfect. Am I all right?
0:48:10 > 0:48:13Yes, you're all right.
0:48:13 > 0:48:17There is nothing that I cannot do for you.
0:48:17 > 0:48:23You can always tell me why your heart is sore, and I can mend it.
0:48:23 > 0:48:27You will never send me away from you now.
0:48:27 > 0:48:30Will you?
0:48:30 > 0:48:36I am yours. There is no-one else. You can do anything with me.
0:48:36 > 0:48:39But you will not send me away. Will you?
0:48:39 > 0:48:43I'll never send you away from me.
0:48:43 > 0:48:46Until the day I die.
0:48:46 > 0:48:48I promise.
0:48:54 > 0:49:00This morning, Natassia here and I have figured out
0:49:00 > 0:49:03how we can make order in the whole world.
0:49:03 > 0:49:08The Germans like to fight. Let them go and fight Japan.
0:49:08 > 0:49:13Let them kill each other. And we will have peace in the world.
0:49:13 > 0:49:16"I'll get that girl for you.
0:49:16 > 0:49:20"How she can dance, how she sings,
0:49:20 > 0:49:24"makes beautiful embroidery with golden thread.
0:49:24 > 0:49:28"Not even the Turkish shah has a wife like her..."
0:49:28 > 0:49:32- Good morning, friends. - Good morning, comrade.
0:49:32 > 0:49:35The train blew nicely. You all did well.
0:49:35 > 0:49:38The signals worked perfectly.
0:49:45 > 0:49:50- Anything to report?- Very little. As you ordered, we all rushed home.
0:49:50 > 0:49:55We've stayed here. The Nazis kept circling about.
0:49:55 > 0:50:00Yes, that's why it wasn't advisable for us to come back before.
0:50:00 > 0:50:05- Have you all had breakfast? - It's been kept warm. I'll bring it.
0:50:05 > 0:50:11- Good to be home again. - Go on with whatever you were doing. Are you reading?
0:50:11 > 0:50:19We were in the midst of a most, shall I say, significant tale from Lermontov - The Hero Of Our Time.
0:50:20 > 0:50:28- We were at the point when the hero, the magnificent soldier, is about to steal away with Bella.- Stop it!
0:50:28 > 0:50:33- What the devil's the matter? - I thought we'd do something great.
0:50:33 > 0:50:40Just to look on while they dynamite the tracks, then run home and hide - is that my duty?
0:50:40 > 0:50:45- Stop raving, you silly boy. - You call me a silly boy?
0:50:45 > 0:50:49- What kind of a commander are you? - Mitya!
0:50:56 > 0:50:59Perhaps reading wasn't a good idea.
0:50:59 > 0:51:04If it's action you want, you'll get enough to satisfy even Mitya.
0:51:04 > 0:51:11Tonight someone must go through the German lines to carry a message to our military command.
0:51:11 > 0:51:13Commander...
0:51:13 > 0:51:16My commander, send me.
0:51:16 > 0:51:22- No, Mitya.- Let me know that you forgive me. Please send me.
0:51:22 > 0:51:27That's a good spirit, Mitya. But I need every man here.
0:51:27 > 0:51:32It must be a woman. She'll have more chance to get through.
0:51:33 > 0:51:39Well, commander. There are only two of us here. Which do you say?
0:51:44 > 0:51:47I am willing to go.
0:51:47 > 0:51:50Which do you say?
0:51:56 > 0:51:59This needs an experienced combatant.
0:51:59 > 0:52:04A seasoned soldier who must go through. Yelena, I assign you.
0:52:07 > 0:52:09KNOCK ON DOOR
0:52:11 > 0:52:13I'm ready.
0:52:13 > 0:52:15Have you memorised the message?
0:52:15 > 0:52:20Red 152. White 3. Yellow 57. Green 1,000. Purple 55.
0:52:20 > 0:52:22Good.
0:52:22 > 0:52:29That is code to tell the strength of our forces and those of the Germans in Yasnaya Polyana.
0:52:29 > 0:52:32You know perfectly your directions?
0:52:32 > 0:52:39I ride through the woods, then walk through Nazi land to the camp of guerrilla leader Seminov.
0:52:39 > 0:52:44I deliver this message to the commander and bring one back here.
0:52:44 > 0:52:47- What troubles you, comrade?- Nothing.
0:52:47 > 0:52:51- Have I offended you?- No, Commander. There is nothing.
0:52:51 > 0:52:57I will deliver this message. Have I ever failed you in my duty?
0:52:57 > 0:53:03- You've never failed me in anything. - Then why are you concerned I will fail this time?
0:53:03 > 0:53:06I'm not.
0:53:07 > 0:53:09They're all ready at the stable.
0:53:09 > 0:53:15- Is it all right that I start, without any more discussion?- Yes.
0:53:16 > 0:53:18- Good luck.- And to you, Commander.
0:53:51 > 0:53:53Mama!
0:53:53 > 0:53:55Mamuchka!
0:53:55 > 0:53:58Olinka, I'm here. Go back to sleep.
0:54:05 > 0:54:08(Wer kann das sein?
0:54:08 > 0:54:13(Nicht einer von uns. Die unseren reiten nicht.
0:54:17 > 0:54:22(Ich wette ich kann den Reiter abknallen. Ganz nicht. So weit.
0:54:22 > 0:54:26(Ich wette zwei Mark.)
0:55:05 > 0:55:09- Vladimir.- What are you doing? - I can't sleep.
0:55:09 > 0:55:14I thought there was...something. Just now I jumped with fright.
0:55:14 > 0:55:17- You were dreaming. - And you? ..Let me.
0:55:17 > 0:55:19Restless.
0:55:21 > 0:55:25- Is Yelena all right, do you think? - Why shouldn't she be?
0:55:25 > 0:55:30I saw how she looked. She thinks it is because of us that you sent her.
0:55:30 > 0:55:38Nonsense. Any commander in my place would have done the same thing. Ridiculous to suppose otherwise.
0:55:38 > 0:55:44Well...Sometimes a woman can be ridiculous.
0:55:46 > 0:55:48What was Yelena to you?
0:55:48 > 0:55:51If you want to tell me.
0:55:51 > 0:55:55Yelena? Nothing. We were comrades.
0:55:56 > 0:55:58Well...
0:55:58 > 0:56:02Yelena...
0:56:02 > 0:56:07But I can tell you there was no love as WE understand it.
0:56:07 > 0:56:09Not one part of it.
0:56:09 > 0:56:14Then my being here has not been a trouble to you?
0:56:17 > 0:56:22I'll tell you. I try to remember when I didn't know you, and I can't.
0:56:22 > 0:56:27I can only remember an emptiness, hatred, death.
0:56:27 > 0:56:31- Waiting...- For what, I didn't know. - I always knew, for you.
0:56:31 > 0:56:36- To have found you only now... - Is so wonderful.- ..Is agony.
0:56:36 > 0:56:40You've done a dreadful thing to me, Nina.
0:56:40 > 0:56:42You've taught me to love life again.
0:56:45 > 0:56:48KNOCKING < Sasha!
0:56:50 > 0:56:52What is it, Fedor?
0:56:52 > 0:56:56I hear something from the forest, as if a horse is running.
0:57:03 > 0:57:05Stay here.
0:57:08 > 0:57:10HORSE NEIGHS
0:57:21 > 0:57:24Fresh blood, Commander.
0:57:27 > 0:57:32Now and ever and unto ages of ages, amen.
0:57:32 > 0:57:38May God establish the soul of his servant Yelena Kamarova,
0:57:38 > 0:57:40brave soldier and good woman...
0:57:40 > 0:57:43She wished so much to see the snow.
0:57:43 > 0:57:50In this world, very few of us can choose the time of our entrance or exit.
0:57:51 > 0:57:55Here's some bread, a little chocolate.
0:57:57 > 0:58:02- Are you sure you want to go?- Yelena is dead, and I feel responsible.
0:58:02 > 0:58:06Yelena is dead because she stopped a German bullet.
0:58:06 > 0:58:11- You know the way?- I know the map you drew, and I have your compass.
0:58:11 > 0:58:16- The code?- Like anything you will ever tell me - learned by heart.
0:58:16 > 0:58:20Go to the house of Fedor's wife, near the village.
0:58:20 > 0:58:25- Bring the message to me there tomorrow.- You're going alone?
0:58:25 > 0:58:27With Petrov. Lighten your heart.
0:58:27 > 0:58:33- You're a soldier now. Be brave and cautious.- Nothing else, Commander?
0:58:34 > 0:58:36Hurry.
0:58:39 > 0:58:42- Mitya.- Yes, Commander.- Mitya!
0:58:42 > 0:58:45- Go with her.- Very good, Commander.
0:58:46 > 0:58:52I assure you, comrade, I will guard with my life the woman we both love.
0:58:52 > 0:58:53Nina!
0:58:54 > 0:58:56Children!
0:59:11 > 0:59:15There's only one thing you must remember - not to get captured.
0:59:15 > 0:59:20If you're captured, I can't help you. That's the law of the guerrillas.
0:59:20 > 0:59:25- So tell me how NOT to get captured. - I'll see that you're not.
0:59:25 > 0:59:31But if you are captured, you must not talk - not a word to the Germans.
0:59:35 > 0:59:39BOMBING IN DISTANCE
1:00:19 > 1:00:23I report Nina Ivanova on an important mission.
1:00:23 > 1:00:29- Nina Ivanova from Moscow, from the theatre?- Yes, sir. - One of our most beloved artists.
1:00:29 > 1:00:32Forgive me for not recognising you.
1:00:32 > 1:00:39It was clever of Vladimir to send two of you. It is safer. Who will deliver the message?
1:00:39 > 1:00:40Red 152. White 3...
1:00:40 > 1:00:44SOLDIERS SPEAK GERMAN >
1:00:52 > 1:00:54LOUD LAUGHTER
1:01:00 > 1:01:05< Tell Fedor not to come home. It is better if he doesn't see this.
1:01:05 > 1:01:09His heart would break seeing what these pigs do to us.
1:01:09 > 1:01:13MAN: Everlasting fire burns their souls.
1:01:13 > 1:01:18But what have you learned? Is the disposal of equipment the same?
1:01:18 > 1:01:22Yes. Tanks at the airfield. Trucks and guns in the streets and barracks.
1:01:22 > 1:01:25The oil tanks - any new depots?
1:01:25 > 1:01:28Yes. Behind the railroad station.
1:01:28 > 1:01:30DOOR OPENS
1:01:35 > 1:01:39- Well!- Commander, I report that we've arrived safely.
1:01:39 > 1:01:41Up here.
1:01:41 > 1:01:45How are you? Was it difficult? Did you bring the message?
1:01:45 > 1:01:51We proceeded down the right road, but the Germans tanks came along,
1:01:51 > 1:01:53so we went through the marsh.
1:01:53 > 1:01:57- So you arrived at the camp.- Yes, darling.- The colonel received us.
1:01:57 > 1:02:02- He said, "Good work."- Did you deliver the code?- Yes, darling.
1:02:02 > 1:02:06- Then this other partisan... - Stop, Mitya.
1:02:06 > 1:02:12- What is the message? - "The snow will fall tomorrow." - "The snow will fall tomorrow."
1:02:12 > 1:02:17Peculiar message. It's been snowing all day.
1:02:17 > 1:02:20So...It's tomorrow.
1:02:21 > 1:02:23German soldiers!
1:02:23 > 1:02:27Get out, quick. Remove the ladder.
1:02:42 > 1:02:47What is this? Don't you even say a greeting to German soldiers?
1:02:49 > 1:02:53You are to get out of this house at once. Our soldiers need it.
1:02:55 > 1:02:58Why are you looking at me?
1:02:58 > 1:03:02- Maybe you don't like it. - We will freeze to death outside.
1:03:02 > 1:03:07You still have too much warm clothing. The German army needs it.
1:03:12 > 1:03:14Take off this coat.
1:03:20 > 1:03:25That sweater's not Russian. Where'd you get it? Who's his wet nurse?
1:03:25 > 1:03:30- Show me your ID card.- I lost it. - That's a lie. Every man has an ID.
1:03:30 > 1:03:34He's just a boy from a neighbouring village.
1:03:35 > 1:03:40So? What happens here? Why have you all met here?
1:03:46 > 1:03:48Are there more of you?
1:03:48 > 1:03:50HE SPITS
1:03:52 > 1:03:59You dare to spit on a German officer. For this I will finish you right away! Tell me your name!
1:03:59 > 1:04:04- Tell me your name! - In my country, a hero has no name.
1:04:04 > 1:04:06Hauptquartier.
1:04:06 > 1:04:10A hero? So? At headquarters you will see about heroes!
1:04:13 > 1:04:15Vladimir!
1:04:15 > 1:04:18What will happen?
1:04:41 > 1:04:43Wohin gehst du?
1:04:50 > 1:04:56They'll hang him! They're dragging people to the gallows to watch!
1:04:59 > 1:05:03- It's true. - What are you going to do?- Do?
1:05:05 > 1:05:08- Nothing.- You can't mean that.
1:05:08 > 1:05:12That message was an order. Tomorrow the snow will fall.
1:05:12 > 1:05:18- You've done more dangerous things! - It can't be done. - He saved your life!
1:05:21 > 1:05:25Petrov, you ask him. I can't bear this.
1:05:25 > 1:05:31- Comrade...- We can't save him. - What can we lose? Only our lives. - No. Everything.
1:05:31 > 1:05:36Do you think I want to sacrifice this boy? He's like a brother to me.
1:05:37 > 1:05:40Nina Ivanova...
1:05:40 > 1:05:46I forbid you to betray with a single word or gesture that you know him.
1:05:46 > 1:05:48That is a command.
1:05:48 > 1:05:51Are you able to comply with it?
1:05:51 > 1:05:53Yes.
1:05:53 > 1:05:55You may go.
1:06:12 > 1:06:15TRUMPETER PLAYS A FANFARE
1:06:22 > 1:06:27This boy is guilty of activities against us.
1:06:27 > 1:06:35He admits to being a partisan, but after intense questioning, he has refused to divulge information.
1:06:35 > 1:06:39In spite of this, his life can still be saved,
1:06:39 > 1:06:43even at this last moment,
1:06:43 > 1:06:46and so can all of you be spared,
1:06:46 > 1:06:53if any of you can give me information about the group to which this boy belongs.
1:06:53 > 1:06:56Will anyone speak to save this boy's life?
1:07:08 > 1:07:11Young lad, I give you one last chance.
1:07:11 > 1:07:16Tell me your name, your group, and where the guerrillas can be found.
1:07:16 > 1:07:21Name your leader, and tell me your hiding place, or you will hang.
1:07:21 > 1:07:26You have five seconds in which to answer.
1:07:43 > 1:07:49I will answer. You cannot hang a nation. Death to the German invaders. Kill them!
1:07:49 > 1:07:51Burn them! Poison them!
1:07:55 > 1:07:57Mitya!
1:07:57 > 1:08:00HE SOBS
1:08:02 > 1:08:04Mitya!
1:08:06 > 1:08:08Mitya! Where's Mitya?
1:08:11 > 1:08:16Tell me what happened to him. Why hasn't he come back with you?
1:08:16 > 1:08:19You tell me. What happened to him?
1:08:26 > 1:08:33The same thing that's happened to a hundred, thousand and million Russian brothers.
1:08:33 > 1:08:38I want you to know that very few of us could have faced his fate
1:08:38 > 1:08:42with such brave self-sacrifice.
1:08:50 > 1:08:52Go with Nina.
1:09:01 > 1:09:04Did they really? Mitya!
1:09:04 > 1:09:06Comrades, a few instructions.
1:09:06 > 1:09:13Petrov, check the field radio. Sasha, meet Duchenko's detachment at the lake.
1:09:13 > 1:09:17Fedor, meet Semanov's group at the swamp. Semyon, the map.
1:09:27 > 1:09:29- Comrade Commander...- Yes?
1:09:29 > 1:09:32I only want to say...
1:09:32 > 1:09:37that I give my poor life freely into your hands.
1:09:38 > 1:09:41Oh, my. What a big hero.
1:09:41 > 1:09:45Well...at least not such a fat one.
1:09:59 > 1:10:04How could he leave me?! Did he say something to you?
1:10:04 > 1:10:07Yes, he did. He sent you a message.
1:10:07 > 1:10:11What? Did you see him? Were you with him?
1:10:11 > 1:10:14Until the last minute.
1:10:16 > 1:10:18He looked at me and smiled.
1:10:18 > 1:10:22- Smiled?- Yes, smiled.
1:10:22 > 1:10:26So calmly, so beautifully, as only he could smile.
1:10:28 > 1:10:34Olinka, I don't know whether you would understand my words.
1:10:34 > 1:10:37He was happy.
1:10:37 > 1:10:42And in the last minute, his eyes transferred a message. I heard it.
1:10:42 > 1:10:47The message he sent to all of us is that we shouldn't weep for him,
1:10:47 > 1:10:50for he has given his life bravely,
1:10:50 > 1:10:55and you should always remember him the way I'd seen him.
1:10:57 > 1:11:03I saw a big, beautiful, shining medal above his heart.
1:11:03 > 1:11:07For he's going to be one of our great, great heroes.
1:11:07 > 1:11:12In every school of our land, his picture will be on a wall.
1:11:12 > 1:11:17All the teachers will make speeches about his bravery.
1:11:17 > 1:11:21And all the children on the benches will look at Mitya's picture
1:11:21 > 1:11:28and they all will envy him for having given up his life for his country so courageously.
1:11:35 > 1:11:40I want you to take her away today, toward the north.
1:11:40 > 1:11:45- The women and children of the village are going.- But I'm staying.
1:11:45 > 1:11:50My darling, in a short time we're going to be so terribly busy here
1:11:50 > 1:11:54that a little girl, and you too, would be in the way.
1:11:54 > 1:11:57I have no more secrets from you.
1:11:57 > 1:12:02The moment we've awaited is near. You brought the order to begin it.
1:12:02 > 1:12:05I brought your sentence of death!
1:12:05 > 1:12:09Tonight the whole Russian front will start to go.
1:12:09 > 1:12:14We're going to begin our revenge - for Mitya and Yelena.
1:12:14 > 1:12:16You said until the day you die!
1:12:16 > 1:12:22Take her. I want to spare the little girl and there's no-one else.
1:12:22 > 1:12:26God bless you, for taking her
1:12:26 > 1:12:29and for having been with us for a while.
1:12:29 > 1:12:31And you?
1:12:31 > 1:12:36There's an old saying. "Bullets spare those who are in love."
1:12:36 > 1:12:38< Commander.
1:12:38 > 1:12:43The radios are checked. Duchenko's detachment are here, asking for you.
1:12:43 > 1:12:48Take your things. Nina's taking Olga away with the village people.
1:12:50 > 1:12:54LIVELY CHATTER
1:12:56 > 1:13:00My comrades of the guerrilla detachments of this section.
1:13:00 > 1:13:04This map is not here for a geography lesson.
1:13:04 > 1:13:07LAUGHTER
1:13:07 > 1:13:12Pay strict attention to it to make clear what I'm going to tell you.
1:13:12 > 1:13:14Here is our hideaway.
1:13:14 > 1:13:19And here past the valley is the village of Yasnaya Polyana.
1:13:19 > 1:13:24Here is the city of Tula, with Nazi positions
1:13:24 > 1:13:26and our positions.
1:13:26 > 1:13:31Many weeks ago you received an order from the command in Moscow -
1:13:31 > 1:13:34not one step further back.
1:13:34 > 1:13:39Now the order we've been waiting for has come. Counter-attack!
1:13:39 > 1:13:45Tula. By order of the head of divisional staff, by next morning,
1:13:45 > 1:13:50there will begin an attack designed to roll back the Nazis,
1:13:50 > 1:13:54to roll them back from Tula, and from Moscow.
1:13:54 > 1:13:59While our brothers of the Red Army attack, we too have our work to do.
1:13:59 > 1:14:04In Yasnaya Polyana is based the bulk of the Nazis' reserve forces.
1:14:04 > 1:14:10They must not be there when our army's attack comes through.
1:14:10 > 1:14:12It's our privilege to handle them,
1:14:12 > 1:14:17to attack these forces, draw them off and retreat before them,
1:14:17 > 1:14:24drawing them away from the village, through the forest, to where we now stand.
1:14:24 > 1:14:29It's hard for Russians to retreat, but retreat can lead to victory.
1:14:29 > 1:14:32I assure you that such is true now.
1:14:32 > 1:14:35You will hear the order "retreat".
1:14:35 > 1:14:40Your ears will burn just as my throat will gag when I deliver it.
1:14:40 > 1:14:45But when I say "retreat", I will be thinking "attack", and so must you.
1:14:45 > 1:14:51For our backward movement carries forward the cause of our country.
1:14:52 > 1:14:55ARTILLERY FIRE
1:14:58 > 1:15:03Two German tanks have appeared! We're not ready yet!
1:15:03 > 1:15:07Go tell it to the Germans! Oh, shut up!
1:15:07 > 1:15:09They're coming, comrade.
1:15:35 > 1:15:37Petrov!
1:15:41 > 1:15:44MACHINE-GUN FIRE
1:16:13 > 1:16:16His life has stopped them.
1:16:17 > 1:16:19RADIO SIGNAL
1:16:25 > 1:16:28Guerrilla detachment, Yasni Polyana.
1:16:28 > 1:16:32Message from the military front. Proceed.
1:16:32 > 1:16:39Leader of the detachment, Comrade Vladimir...commendation for drawing off German reserves...
1:16:39 > 1:16:43from Yasnaya Polyana. Our full attack is now commencing.
1:16:43 > 1:16:47In no event are you to cease engaging the enemy
1:16:47 > 1:16:51till our operations reach a successful conclusion.
1:16:51 > 1:16:59- Comrade General Goborev.- Message received and will be complied with. - Message received and complied with.
1:16:59 > 1:17:03Instruct Comrade Semanov to take charge. Come with me.
1:17:04 > 1:17:08Duchenko's people will cover us until the last moment.
1:17:08 > 1:17:13If a breakthrough occurs, the enemy will come this way. Dmitri!
1:17:13 > 1:17:15- How are things?- Ready.
1:17:15 > 1:17:20We'll have to fire so intensely they'll think a whole troop is here.
1:17:20 > 1:17:26Let them send 30 German tanks against three Russian soldiers.
