[Backgroud station sounds]
28
00:03:05,341 --> 00:03:09,138
For many Hungarian soldiers,
the last shred of hope
29
00:03:09,453 --> 00:03:13,132
was their faith in going home
when the fatherland allowed them.
30
00:03:13,682 --> 00:03:16,090
I would run to you, my love,
but I have to wait for my turn

00:03:16,551 --> 00:03:18,320
Every second seems like an hour.
32
00:03:18,980 --> 00:03:22,980
But every step I take to the wagon,
33
00:03:22,267 --> 00:03:25,118

- Sergeant! Sir!
35
00:03:33,268 --> 00:03:35,694

- Let me see it.
37
00:03:50,972 --> 00:03:51,943
There's no mistake here:
38
00:03:52,245 --> 00:03:53,375
The soldier's in the wrong line.
39
00:03:53,875 --> 00:04:21,615
Welcome to Soviet Russia!
40
00:03:57,326 --> 00:03:59,386
- But...Sergeant: there must me a mistake, sir.
41
00:03:59,863 --> 00:04:01,176
I'm on my way home; to Budapest. On leave.
42

- Listen, son. Either these papers are wrong...
48
00:04:20,473 --> 00:04:21,792
or someone doesn't want you to go home.
49
00:04:22,005 --> 00:04:25,268
Get out of mi sight before I have you whipped!
50
00:04:31,562 --> 00:04:33,307
Back in line.
51
00:04:38,157 --> 00:04:40,201
Home has never seemed so far away.
52
00:04:42,055 --> 00:04:47,482
I'm disappointed...betrayed...abandoned
53

Listen, son.
59
00:05:41,982 --> 00:05:44,699
The truth is...no one of us should be here.
60
00:05:45,330 --> 00:05:46,770
But it's our duty.
61
00:05:47,725 --> 00:05:49,651
We're here to defend our country.
Right here and now.
62

- Here?
63
00:05:54,428 --> 00:05:56,100
Thousands of miles away?
64

Now we are here...but tomorrrow
66
00:06:02,699 --> 00:06:04,087
We can be fighting in the Carpathians.
67

And if everyone had your attitude...
68
00:06:06,215 --> 00:06:07,332
- Fighting against whom?

- Yes, sir, I do...
71

...the primitive Asian hordes.
73
00:06:27,641 --> 00:06:29,552
But, sergeant...
74
00:06:31,425 --> 00:06:33,594
those are just empty words, sir
75
00:06:38,780 --> 00:06:40,412
- You are a good man, soldier Lombos...
76
00:06:40,873 --> 00:06:42,963
Or at least...not worse than those others.
77
00:06:44,378 --> 00:06:46,119
But this is not your decision, nor mine
78
00:06:46,903 --> 00:06:52,464
We must fight for our country, families, women.
79
00:06:53,399 --> 00:06:57,205
So that in the end we can finally go home
... and live in peace

I will look into your case. You have my word.

00:18:39,819 --> 00:18:49,263
- OK, old man. It�s not your business.
But...my wife is not like that.
181
00:18:50,176 --> 00:18:51,938
- Nobody is like that. At first!.
182
00:18:53,796 --> 00:18:58,384
But loneliness...deprivation...
183
00:18:58,384 --> 00:19:00,713
Feelings fade with time.
184
00:19:02,599 --> 00:19:06,113
Tell me: how long have you been here?
185
00:19:07,713 --> 00:19:09,150
- Over a year.
186
00:19:12,512 --> 00:19:16,747
All other soldiers have been home.
One time at least...All but me.
187
00:19:17,531 --> 00:19:20,073
My name is the one that's never in the lists.
188
00:19:20,857 --> 00:19:24,030
They must have messed things up in Budapest.
189
00:19:24,536 --> 00:19:27,397
- That's something strange. It sounds fishy.
190
00:19:28,239 --> 00:19:31,459
Could it be that someone
doesn't want you to go home?
191
00:19:32,698 --> 00:19:37,720
-Now you'll say: it's my wife...!
She messes with the papers somehow!
192
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,515
- You've said it, not me!
193
00:19:42,353 --> 00:19:45,206
But. Let's say, just as a hypothesis...!
194
00:19:46,885 --> 00:19:50,523
that if she meets a man with some connections...
195
00:19:51,318 --> 00:19:55,766
It wouldn't be so difficult
to fix things for you to die here.
196
00:19:56,298 --> 00:19:58,210
Come on, man! It�s all right...
197
00:19:58,734 --> 00:20:00,660
You are here...
198
00:20:01,154 --> 00:20:02,178
And you're still alive!
199
00:20:03,753 --> 00:20:08,877
Enough, old fart!
You're talking about my wife, not some dirty slut!
200
00:20:09,598 --> 00:20:14,263
Shut up!
or I swear I�ll throw you out in front of those Russkis!
201
00:20:14,611 --> 00:20:17,595
- I meant no offense.
202
00:20:18,422 --> 00:20:23,938
I�m just an old guy that let's his mouth run loose
203
00:20:28,466 --> 00:20:31,814
-How comes you've landed here at the front?
204
00:20:33,395 --> 00:20:35,281
Don't tell me they called you up!
205
00:20:35,850 --> 00:20:37,361
- Forced labour...
206
00:20:38,902 --> 00:20:40,261
- Are you Jewish?
207
00:20:40,261 --> 00:20:42,193
- Partly.
208
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:44,645
Does it bother you?
209
00:20:49,132 --> 00:20:50,595
- No. Not at all.
210
00:20:53,542 --> 00:20:55,905
Let's keep quiet until they calm down.
211
00:21:01,227 --> 00:21:03,153
- What did you need my diary for?
212
00:21:03,406 --> 00:21:05,871
- The paper is good.
213
00:21:06,649 --> 00:21:07,816
To roll up cigarettes...
214
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:09,451
To wipe my ass.
215
00:21:10,954 --> 00:21:12,038
- You known what?
216
00:21:16,615 --> 00:21:18,401
Keep it!
217
00:21:22,878 --> 00:21:28,952
Come on! come on! Quick, quick! [Russian voices near]
- You got got a gun? - There's one here!
218
00:21:31,469 --> 00:21:34,651
[tense silence - thrilling low music]
219
00:21:53,092 --> 00:21:54,165
- Let's get out of here!
-Wait!
220
00:21:55,728 --> 00:21:59,378
After the fires go out...
I�ts easier in the dark.
221
00:22:05,591 --> 00:22:10,592
- Where are you from?
-Budapest. I was a teacher.
222
00:22:12,106 --> 00:22:15,060
- I see. You were drafted.
223
00:22:15,060 --> 00:22:16,979
And now you are here, in the middle of nowhere.
224
00:22:16,979 --> 00:22:21,850
Killing people thet never did you any harm.
225
00:22:22,513 --> 00:22:27,211
You know? I can't really understand this situation.
226
00:22:28,139 --> 00:22:29,242
Why did we even come here?
227
00:22:30,188 --> 00:22:33,100
They talk about... the Bolshevik evil!
228
00:22:33,858 --> 00:22:36,678
But...Who are the Bolsheviks?
229
00:22:37,183 --> 00:22:38,879
and what�s wrong with them?
230
00:22:39,584 --> 00:22:42,132
They have done nothing to you and me.
231
00:22:42,132 --> 00:22:44,243
But, those fancy bigwhigs
232
00:22:44,243 --> 00:22:46,268
They are the ones who know... Sure!
233
00:22:47,068 --> 00:22:49,257
They�re having fut at home, while we...
234
00:22:49,797 --> 00:22:51,148
- What are you talking about?
235
00:22:52,851 --> 00:22:56,090
You'd get shot in the head, just for half you've said
236
00:22:56,652 --> 00:23:01,898
- Come on...
Don't believe that things have to be this way
237
00:23:05,281 --> 00:23:07,142
Face it. You've served your country long enough
238
00:23:07,771 --> 00:23:09,181
And... What had you got in return?
239
00:23:09,683 --> 00:23:11,934
- A soldier's oath is for life.
240
00:23:13,502 --> 00:23:18,760
Even if you�re right.
No self-respecting Hungarian would ever betray his country.
241
00:23:19,804 --> 00:23:22,896
No mercy shown or expected: That�s the verdict!
242
00:23:22,911 --> 00:23:24,012
I will not compromise
243
00:23:25,180 --> 00:23:31,157
- And yet...Here you are. Holed up with me.
Thinking about surrender
244
00:23:32,074 --> 00:23:33,385
Don't tell me you don't!
245
00:23:34,069 --> 00:23:36,804
I know you better than you think.
246
00:23:38,637 --> 00:23:41,650
You are tired...and fed up with this!
247
00:23:46,375 --> 00:23:50,769
Come on, man! We're just talking!
248
00:23:51,679 --> 00:23:54,462
And, anyway: I'ts not me you're mad at.
249
00:24:11,411 --> 00:24:14,315
[Russians talk nearby-corpses roll quietly down the pit]

[corpse thud - old man whinces-nearby voices]
252
00:24:46,408 --> 00:24:47,952
- What the hell have you on?
253
00:24:49,138 --> 00:24:50,018
- A German!...
254
00:24:51,390 --> 00:24:52,585
...A corpse.
255
00:24:53,515 --> 00:24:54,627
- You, fool!
256
00:24:57,631 --> 00:25:00,960
- I'm not a red. I run away from labour service
257
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,378
... and found a Russian uniform.
258
00:25:05,015 --> 00:25:06,453
I...I... Put that down
259
00:25:08,142 --> 00:25:08,958
- You have deserted?
260
00:25:08,958 --> 00:25:10,030
Not at all!
261
00:25:12,071 --> 00:25:13,661
I carry water behind the frontline.
262
00:25:14,594 --> 00:25:16,904
- Then, you have deserted.
263
00:25:20,158 --> 00:25:22,211
Is it working out for you?
264
00:25:23,384 --> 00:25:24,470
- I hope so.
265
00:25:27,366 --> 00:25:30,338
- What if they stop and check you?
You speak Russian?
266
00:25:32,471 --> 00:25:35,490
- Not much...Just enough to get by.
267
00:25:36,103 --> 00:25:37,569
- Well. My Russian is quite good.
268
00:25:40,980 --> 00:25:43,309
[quiet heaving and panting]
269
00:25:48,361 --> 00:25:50,173
Can you get me one of these?
270
00:25:51,991 --> 00:25:53,442
- I will try.
271
00:25:54,207 --> 00:25:57,230
Stay here. I'll be back soon.
272

[Laugh mockingly]
279

What shall we do with him?
285
00:27:03,946 --> 00:27:04,743
- I don't give a fuck!
286
00:27:05,978 --> 00:27:07,516
- If you did, he'll problably like it!
287
00:27:08,775 --> 00:27:09,796

- What do you think? The'll offer us a job.
295
00:27:56,700 --> 00:28:00,206
Reinforcement's arrived.
So I think they'll take us to a gulag.
296
00:28:03,018 --> 00:28:04,435
- I don't want to go to a gulag.
297
00:28:05,191 --> 00:28:08,491
Who does? It's the gulag or a bullet in the head

00:34:40,094 --> 00:34:42,294
Is that the routine here?
[background: beaten prisoner groans]
356
00:34:44,043 --> 00:34:45,205
- Are you kidding, man?
357
00:34:46,326 --> 00:34:48,553
Here, only the strongest can survive
358
00:34:50,038 --> 00:34:51,802
[beating and groaning go on]
359
00:35:01,697 --> 00:35:03,485
Adapt and keep a low profile! [whispering]
360
00:35:04,932 --> 00:35:07,440
Whatever happens, keep out of trouble.
361
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:10,128
And maybe they don't let you starve to death.
362
00:35:10,544 --> 00:35:12,032
- You are going to help me
363
00:35:12,726 --> 00:35:13,875
- Why should I?
364
00:35:14,558 --> 00:35:16,095
- Because I ask you to.
365
00:35:17,152 --> 00:35:19,408
And because you have no choice.
366
00:35:23,432 --> 00:35:26,830
- Would you rat on me, buddy?
367
00:35:30,722 --> 00:35:32,937
- Without any doubt at all.
368
00:35:40,777 --> 00:35:42,961
You can't hide, anyway.
369
00:35:44,531 --> 00:35:47,116
I cand find you wherever you go
370
00:35:50,373 --> 00:35:54,652
"The different between reality and the hallucinations
of a man who has lost all hope...
371
00:35:54,652 --> 00:35:57,635
...is only revealed in hindsight"
[actor's voice quoting dramatically]
372
00:35:58,580 --> 00:36:05,227
That is the difference: his thoughts"
373
00:36:12,094 --> 00:36:17,128
Surrounded by all this noise,
I try to find solace in the shadow of silence.
374
00:36:18,645 --> 00:36:21,386
Watching myself go insane step by step
375
00:36:24,499 --> 00:36:29,163
This is how I joined the mine tramplers
[Orchestra: languid music]
376
00:36:30,149 --> 00:36:33,716
The tramplers are a bunch of lunatics; petty criminals;...
377
00:36:34,510 --> 00:36:42,542
dissidents; plolitical pariahs, POWs, collaborationists....
378
00:36:43,245 --> 00:36:45,873
That is: scum gathered all over the whole Soviet Union
379
00:36:47,288 --> 00:36:49,082
I don't care for most of them...
380
00:36:49,670 --> 00:36:52,109
but there are some worthy individuals:
381
00:36:54,050 --> 00:36:57,766
Kolia, for example. A circus clown in the civilian life.
382
00:36:58,801 --> 00:37:02,489
His only fault: parodying Stalin�s speeches
383
00:37:03,232 --> 00:37:08,002
They didn't even wait for him to get off the stage
384
00:37:09,197 --> 00:37:11,012
Luckily, he din't lose his sense of humour:
385
00:37:11,285 --> 00:37:13,410
He made us laugh so many times...
386
00:37:16,699 --> 00:37:17,891
[imitates a duck]
387
00:37:19,843 --> 00:37:21,484
[mine explodes echoing in the woods]
388
00:37:22,411 --> 00:37:25,247
His last performance didn�t make anyone laugh
389
00:37:27,293 --> 00:37:33,569
[orchestra: low languid music- stringed instruments]
390
00:37:59,238 --> 00:38:03,674
This is Scraggy S�chov. A devout communist...
391
00:38:04,963 --> 00:38:07,424
He used to give speeches to the crowds
392
00:38:09,067 --> 00:38:11,709
calling for a inflexible resistance to the enemy.
393
00:38:13,149 --> 00:38:18,096
[indistinct harangue-crowd cheers and roars-music still on]
394
00:38:32,350 --> 00:38:34,293
Then, he was called up. [loud splash]
395
00:38:35,489 --> 00:38:39,062
But he couldn't stomach the horrors of the battlefield
396
00:38:43,234 --> 00:38:46,970
[same languid music goes on - other sounds barely audible]
397
00:39:14,181 --> 00:39:16,529
[walking in silence-no music]
398
00:39:31,046 --> 00:39:33,024
[gulping sounds]
399
00:39:53,976 --> 00:39:57,600
Some say that a supernatural power protects him
400
00:39:57,967 --> 00:40:00,726
But the truth is that he weighs too little...
401
00:40:01,362 --> 00:40:04,336
A bad thing for those wo walk behind him
402
00:40:04,336 --> 00:40:07,698
[sudden explosion breaks silence]
403
00:40:17,681 --> 00:40:20,651
[loud mine explosion-silence]
404
00:40:26,011 --> 00:40:29,486
The longest surviving trampler is,
without doubt, Uncle K�rgen
405
00:40:30,485 --> 00:40:32,938
He has avoided skillfuly the mines for almost a year.
406
00:40:34,372 --> 00:40:37,055
Easy for him: he had planted most of them himself
407
00:40:39,135 --> 00:40:40,524
[mines explode in background]
408
00:40:48,252 --> 00:40:53,423
The guards literally fight for walking behind him
409
00:40:54,670 --> 00:40:58,264
If you don't watch your step, you can lose it any minute
410
00:40:59,226 --> 00:41:04,563
It's also a good opportunity for settling disputes
411
00:41:05,018 --> 00:41:08,171
[explosion]
412
00:41:09,566 --> 00:41:12,745
And this is me. Still alive.
413
00:41:14,434 --> 00:41:16,320
The other prisoners accepted me quickly:
414
00:41:16,985 --> 00:41:19,471
In general: Russians don't hate Hungarians...
415
00:41:20,115 --> 00:41:22,668
Most of them never met anybody from my country
416
00:41:23,396 --> 00:41:26,036
The exception: Dobchenko and J�rkov
417
00:41:27,099 --> 00:41:32,972
Right from the start, they�d paid special attention
to make my life even more miserable
418
00:41:34,128 --> 00:41:35,618
- stop!
419
00:41:41,514 --> 00:41:44,788
Their childish games had already claimed
many tramplers' lives
420
00:41:47,057 --> 00:41:49,235
Their bets didn't have any real stakes:
421
00:41:50,340 --> 00:41:52,598
They used foreign currencies in the game...
422
00:41:53,664 --> 00:41:55,930
completely useless to them.
423
00:41:56,341 --> 00:41:58,341
This is the value of human life here:
424
00:41:58,965 --> 00:42:00,800
a few coloured pieces of paper.
425
00:42:01,571 --> 00:42:03,163
- This is my turn - Go ahead
426
00:42:15,716 --> 00:42:18,449
[mine explodes loudly] - Hell!
427
00:42:21,459 --> 00:42:23,786
[silence- distant laugh, short comments]
428
00:42:28,132 --> 00:42:29,558
- move on, move on...
429
00:42:31,753 --> 00:42:34,275
[quiet laugh] - bitch.
430
00:42:36,270 --> 00:42:40,445
[distant comments and laugh - tense music]
431
00:42:43,667 --> 00:42:45,175
[dull thump of earth clod on fabric ]
432
00:42:51,846 --> 00:42:53,350
[dull thump and distant laughter]
433
00:42:56,974 --> 00:42:59,437
J�rkov and Dodchenko are not really bad people
434
00:43:01,621 --> 00:43:08,790
They treat the enemies of the system
just like their country expects them to
435
00:43:12,933 --> 00:43:15,083
Deep down, I understand it.
436
00:43:20,694 --> 00:43:28,446
For them, I�m just one of the thousands of enemy soldiers
that came to trample around the fields of their homeland
437
00:43:29,884 --> 00:43:33,380
[orchestra: audible again - low sad tempo ]
438
00:43:36,367 --> 00:43:39,257
Our guards don't have things much easier:
439
00:43:39,885 --> 00:43:44,057
They push us, and the NKVDs (political police)
push them.
440
00:43:45,799 --> 00:43:52,348
All we know is the only way is forward,
regardless of what obstacles lie ahead
441
00:43:58,391 --> 00:44:04,349
[Orchestra: louder and dramatic desolate music]
[stringed instruments low lament]
442
00:44:45,236 --> 00:44:47,617
[silence in barn]
443
00:44:54,833 --> 00:44:56,870
- May I have some? - No!
444
00:44:58,351 --> 00:45:00,861
The bottle... is empty. [slurring his words]
445
00:45:01,671 --> 00:45:05,057
Even if it wasn't , I wouldn't give you any.
446
00:45:10,225 --> 00:45:12,523
You. Where did you get that?
447
00:45:17,267 --> 00:45:22,165
- I got it...found it... What's the difference?
448
00:45:23,220 --> 00:45:24,771
- You're a lucky gypsy.
449
00:45:25,108 --> 00:45:27,099
- You are the lucky one!
450
00:45:27,803 --> 00:45:30,124
- Do I look like that? [coughs]
451
00:45:37,842 --> 00:45:40,038
- You don't trigger the mines
452
00:45:42,756 --> 00:45:45,345
Wherever you walk, you don�t die
453
00:45:45,731 --> 00:45:49,585
- You know which ones die? Those who are afraid.
454
00:45:50,798 --> 00:45:54,251
I�m not afraid...So I don�t die.
455
00:46:01,246 --> 00:46:05,143
Because I�m already dead. Look!
456
00:46:12,215 --> 00:46:15,423
See it? It's the scar of a pistol bullet
457
00:46:17,567 --> 00:46:21,435
It came in at a flat angle...and bounced off
458
00:46:22,273 --> 00:46:25,828
Maybe I'm really lucky
459
00:46:39,179 --> 00:46:43,815
When we are not trampling, we are marching.
460
00:46:46,130 --> 00:46:48,548
And when we are not marching,
461
00:46:48,548 --> 00:46:50,122
we are digging...
462
00:46:51,309 --> 00:46:55,962
either trenches...or graves
463
00:46:57,028 --> 00:47:00,275
[low gloomy music- working in silence]
464
00:47:01,592 --> 00:47:03,420
- Dig, you bitch!
465
00:47:09,189 --> 00:47:10,568
[Uncle Kurgen] -Did you know, son...
466
00:47:11,463 --> 00:47:15,154
...That the tramplers get the most vodka
in the Soviet army?
467
00:47:16,420 --> 00:47:24,965
I undestand it; it would ne more difficult
to send us sober along the minefields
468
00:47:38,307 --> 00:47:42,264
Scraggy S�chov... He drank himself to death
469
00:47:43,226 --> 00:47:45,899
After all, the lucky one was not immortal.
470
00:47:49,421 --> 00:47:52,113
[Uncle K�rgen] - We can walk around them...
471
00:47:52,288 --> 00:47:54,859
If you pay attention, you can see where they are.
472
00:48:01,277 --> 00:48:02,148
Dig! [whispers]
473
00:48:04,067 --> 00:48:05,413
They are always watching us!
474
00:48:06,566 --> 00:48:07,311
Be careful!
475
00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:23,460
So...When snow falls and covers the earth,
476
00:48:23,807 --> 00:48:28,080
the ice began to form first over them... Right?
477
00:48:38,983 --> 00:48:42,242
In the summer, the grass grows scarce over them.
478
00:48:42,897 --> 00:48:48,075
If you only tread on thick, healthy patches of grass;
nothing can happen to you
479
00:49:19,034 --> 00:49:24,557
Sovient soldiers can easily join the tramplers
for the smallest mistake
480
00:49:25,541 --> 00:49:27,619
This is a world full with suspicion:
481
00:49:28,043 --> 00:49:32,138
They watch us... and we watch them.
482
00:49:33,418 --> 00:49:39,490
And the NKVDs... like to watch everybody.
483
00:49:43,019 --> 00:49:45,759
Especially each other.
484
00:49:54,353 --> 00:49:57,826
[orchestra: low, gloomy, dull music]
485
00:50:26,767 --> 00:50:33,137
[village background sounds - indistinct talk, greetings]
486
00:50:51,186 --> 00:50:52,688
- What are you still doing here?
487
00:50:53,186 --> 00:50:55,238
You should have disappeared by now.
488
00:50:57,217 --> 00:50:59,099
I remember this place:
489
00:50:59,529 --> 00:51:02,147
if you follow the tracks, you can get home
490
00:51:04,300 --> 00:51:06,003
- They are having a big party tonight.
491
00:51:06,841 --> 00:51:08,503
It could be useful to you.
492
00:51:17,166 --> 00:51:20,121
- They leave the villagers alone:
there're many old people here
493
00:51:21,388 --> 00:51:23,270
- ...And wounded ones.
494
00:51:39,644 --> 00:51:42,440
- There's where they'll keep us tonight.
- Move on!
495
00:51:49,988 --> 00:51:53,248
[Accordion plays - Men and woman celebrate]
496
00:52:03,486 --> 00:52:06,440
[man begins to sing folk tune by fire]
497
00:52:10,068 --> 00:52:13,253
Look! My dear Z�nika! [laughs friendly]
498
00:52:14,436 --> 00:52:16,634
Come on... have drink with us!
499
00:52:18,268 --> 00:52:19,385
To Stalin!
500
00:52:21,131 --> 00:52:22,274
- What's going on here? [angry order]
501
00:52:24,145 --> 00:52:26,104
Most of them are drunk...
502
00:52:27,003 --> 00:52:30,417
Don't you have anything better to do...
503
00:52:30,789 --> 00:52:32,104
... than harassing the comrade?
504
00:52:32,433 --> 00:52:34,092
Get out of my sight!
505
00:52:36,868 --> 00:52:38,247
- It was none of your business, T�lik!
506
00:52:38,856 --> 00:52:42,786
Why don't you like that anyone notices
the woman behind the uniform!
507
00:52:42,786 --> 00:52:43,811
- Z�nika!
508
00:52:49,226 --> 00:52:54,602
[soft romantic piano notes]
509
00:52:57,270 --> 00:53:01,196
Why are you so afraid of your feelings?
510
00:53:08,835 --> 00:53:13,561
[back to distant accordion by crackling fire]
511
00:53:28,105 --> 00:53:30,434
[snoring softly]
512
00:53:38,488 --> 00:53:39,789
Dear Elza,
513
00:53:39,789 --> 00:53:44,327
I started writing this diary
the day I decided to kill you.
514
00:53:44,511 --> 00:53:48,458
[low eerie sound: wind, jingles]
515
00:53:51,991 --> 00:53:54,162
- Why do you want to kill me, Mih�li?
[Elza�s voice echoes softly]
516
00:53:55,518 --> 00:53:57,979
Why would this be better without me?
517
00:54:02,392 --> 00:54:04,742
- You no longer give me strength
518
00:54:06,013 --> 00:54:08,609
I can only count on myself
519
00:54:15,539 --> 00:54:17,793
- This terrible pain and yelling...
520
00:54:18,013 --> 00:54:20,129
...are not the end, but a new beginning!
521
00:54:20,465 --> 00:54:23,719
- You are weak!... Face it! [Mih�li�s defying voice]
522
00:54:26,230 --> 00:54:29,232
All that happens now... is beyond you. [Mih�li]
523
00:54:29,969 --> 00:54:32,183
- If you lose me...that could be your end. [Elza]
524
00:54:34,882 --> 00:54:38,287
Think about it. What are you going to do? [Elza]
525
00:54:38,977 --> 00:54:40,031
I just wanted to remind you:
526
00:54:40,032 --> 00:54:42,367
You should have faith.

01:21:02,734 --> 01:21:03,169
[machine gun burst]
708
01:21:03,878 --> 01:21:05,684
- Comrade Komelkov�! This is an order!
709
01:21:09,444 --> 01:21:12,101
[sniper's body falls - silence]
710
01:21:13,223 --> 01:21:15,985
- The sniper is dead! Hold your fire!
711
01:21:18,835 --> 01:21:19,658
- Lena!
712
01:21:22,597 --> 01:21:23,366
Lena...!
713
01:21:26,248 --> 01:21:28,544
I�m here...Don't worry....
714
01:21:36,699 --> 01:21:37,741
No!
715
01:21:38,937 --> 01:21:40,391
No! [crying]
716
01:21:40,457 --> 01:21:41,535
Don't go! [crying]
717
01:21:45,423 --> 01:21:47,231
You warned them, bastard!
718
01:21:56,743 --> 01:22:01,904
[soft melancholic piano notes]
719
01:22:30,836 --> 01:22:36,570
As I stood there, watching life escape
from that girl's body I felt shame [Mih�li's voiceover]
720
01:22:37,188 --> 01:22:39,821
I was ashame because I empathized with these people.
721
01:22:40,966 --> 01:22:43,969
Even though I'm supposed to hate them...
because they're the enemy and all that.
722
01:22:44,519 --> 01:22:47,257
Now, it's sure they look at me like an enemy.
723
01:22:47,317 --> 01:22:50,039
The trust is gone, like it had never existed.
724
01:22:50,743 --> 01:22:52,419
At this point, I knew there wasn�t
a place for me here anymore.
725
01:22:53,057 --> 01:22:54,884
It's over for you, bitch!
726
01:22:59,506 --> 01:23:03,909
My days are counted:
nothing protects me from the guards now.
727
01:23:05,998 --> 01:23:07,448
- What do you want?
728
01:23:08,604 --> 01:23:13,381
- Look! That's the Carpathian range!
729
01:23:14,577 --> 01:23:16,428
- And that, over there, is a minefield.
730
01:23:21,291 --> 01:23:23,094
- The time has come!
731
01:23:23,094 --> 01:23:26,542
Now you can settle the score, with everybody.
732
01:23:26,960 --> 01:23:29,201
- Everything that happened was your fault.
733
01:23:30,267 --> 01:23:32,572
I should have never listened to you.
734
01:23:33,163 --> 01:23:35,289
I have only myself to blame for you.
735
01:23:36,178 --> 01:23:39,068
What the hell is wrong with you, private Lombos?
736
01:23:41,642 --> 01:23:43,663
What happened, soldier?
737
01:23:45,458 --> 01:23:47,573
-Have you figured out how to...- Shut up!
738
01:23:50,015 --> 01:23:51,805
There's nothing you can teach me anymore.
739
01:23:53,200 --> 01:23:54,691
It's time for you to get out of here.
740
01:23:55,997 --> 01:23:57,209
- Why do you talk to me like that?
741
01:23:57,926 --> 01:24:00,227
I've always wanted only the best for you.
742
01:24:02,163 --> 01:24:05,928
- Look, son... - You are nobody to me!
743
01:24:10,353 --> 01:24:12,074
Do I really have to explain this you?
744
01:24:13,098 --> 01:24:15,360
I can see through you, old man.
745
01:24:17,866 --> 01:24:19,734
- You're a weak sucker!
746
01:24:19,734 --> 01:24:21,962
You are not going to do anything
747
01:24:21,962 --> 01:24:25,466
You never had, and never will.
748
01:24:25,957 --> 01:24:28,145
Your primitive brain can't even conceive that...
749
01:24:28,145 --> 01:24:30,718
Shut your damned mouth, son of a bitch!
750
01:24:31,171 --> 01:24:32,852
You don't know shit about me!
751
01:24:34,677 --> 01:24:39,443
Loyalty, honor. They mean nothing to you!
752
01:24:47,795 --> 01:24:51,148
You think I wouln't do anything?
753
01:24:53,136 --> 01:24:55,498
Watch me!
754
01:25:01,214 --> 01:25:04,794
Sorry, old man; but I have to get home.
755
01:25:06,510 --> 01:25:08,789
Without you.
756
01:25:37,586 --> 01:25:40,163
[orchestra: mourning desolate battlefield]
757
01:26:15,617 --> 01:26:16,816
- Comrade Varvalin.
758
01:26:17,653 --> 01:26:20,272
- I can't hear anything:
759
01:26:20,272 --> 01:26:23,456
there must be something wrong with my ears.
760
01:26:25,217 --> 01:26:26,400
- I don't understand.
761
01:26:26,400 --> 01:26:29,710
- I can't hear the damned mines explode.
762
01:26:29,916 --> 01:26:31,158
- You are right, sir.
763
01:26:31,590 --> 01:26:36,200
- Comrades! It�s time to redeem all your faults!
764
01:26:37,227 --> 01:26:41,577
Do not fear to make your last sacrifice
defending our homeland!
765
01:26:41,577 --> 01:26:46,543
[gloomy drums announce doom]
766
01:26:56,421 --> 01:27:03,001
[eerie high-pitched sounds]
767
01:27:04,798 --> 01:27:12,038
The glorious comrade Stalin
demands one last effort from you!
768
01:27:12,816 --> 01:27:18,028
Those who survive this day
will be released from the penal battalion!
769
01:27:18,799 --> 01:27:21,701
and may return to their regular units!
770
01:27:26,756 --> 01:27:30,408
Comrades! It�s time to redeem all your faults!
771
01:27:31,396 --> 01:27:38,102
Do not fear to make your last sacrifice
defending our homeland!
772
01:27:48,308 --> 01:27:50,728
[loud shot- bullet whistles by]
773
01:27:55,485 --> 01:27:56,510
- Sniper!
774
01:27:59,850 --> 01:28:03,826
[machine gun, sniper shots, soldiers yell and roar]
775
01:28:12,851 --> 01:28:14,622
- Aim at that treeline!
776
01:28:18,638 --> 01:28:22,462
Hurra! [Russian expression of encouragement]
777
01:28:50,879 --> 01:28:51,694
[mine explodes]
778
01:28:59,037 --> 01:29:03,835
[orchestra joins chaos: screeching violin sounds]
779
01:29:12,864 --> 01:29:17,189
[Dobchenko roars]
780
01:29:54,248 --> 01:30:02,101
[orchestra: dramatic crescendo]
781
01:30:15,467 --> 01:30:18,866
Hurr�! Hurr�! [Wave of Russian soldiers advance yelling]
782
01:31:23,902 --> 01:31:29,366
[orchestra's dramatic symphony prevails- frenetic tempo]
783
01:31:55,341 --> 01:31:57,265
- Son of a bitch!
784
01:31:58,521 --> 01:31:59,793
[thump on head] - [noise subsides]
785
01:32:02,122 --> 01:32:03,793
- Hi there!
786
01:32:09,889 --> 01:32:14,493
[muffled tense humming sound]
787
01:32:17,106 --> 01:32:19,339
- What the hell where you thinking, man?
[old man's voiceover echoes]
788
01:32:20,425 --> 01:32:23,386
You thought you could do it all by yourself?...
789
01:32:24,347 --> 01:32:26,707
...And would get finally home?
790
01:32:27,619 --> 01:32:29,504
- I don�t need you. [Mih�li's voiceover]
791
01:32:29,767 --> 01:32:31,315
....I never did.
792
01:32:33,038 --> 01:32:34,893
Give me back the diary.
793
01:32:35,956 --> 01:32:37,127
- You have it.
794
01:32:37,954 --> 01:32:39,931
You have always had it
795
01:32:48,508 --> 01:32:49,790
[low tense humming- muffled sounds echo]
796
01:32:51,296 --> 01:32:52,893
- You win.
797
01:33:12,390 --> 01:33:13,243
- Trust me.
798
01:33:21,345 --> 01:33:21,886
- Trust me.
799
01:33:21,886 --> 01:33:30,616
[Commissar groans]
800
01:33:36,374 --> 01:33:38,632
[eerie humming continues]
801
01:33:42,491 --> 01:33:43,577
[shot echoes]
802
01:33:55,857 --> 01:33:57,332
Private Lombos! [old man's voiceocer]
803
01:33:58,140 --> 01:34:02,038
You are home after all.... You are at home.
804
01:34:03,005 --> 01:34:06,085
But... is home really there?
805
01:34:07,413 --> 01:34:08,453
Mih�li... [Elza: calm, detached voice]
806
01:34:09,179 --> 01:34:13,581
- So, you've come back to make the right decision. [Elza]
-He has already decided! [old man]
807
01:34:13,581 --> 01:34:17,237
He's coming with me,
because he has commited the ultimate sin.
808
01:34:27,059 --> 01:34:29,480
-I'm standing here, with my head held high.
809
01:34:33,337 --> 01:34:36,336
My only motivation was the faith in coming back home.
810
01:34:37,574 --> 01:34:38,997
- Can you even year what you're saying, man?
811
01:34:39,517 --> 01:34:43,494
Instinct and faith: an eternal paradox.
812
01:33:21,886 --> 01:34:47,878
But you see that it's forcing you
to make one final decision
813
01:34:49,811 --> 01:34:51,587
-I have already made my decision.
814
01:34:55,061 --> 01:34:57,538
I've been playing you from the start.
815
01:34:59,425 --> 01:35:04,775
Reason is above both faith and instinct.
816
01:35:08,958 --> 01:35:12,166
Then, I had to fight against my instincts
817
01:35:12,668 --> 01:35:15,596
to finally get here.
818
01:35:16,240 --> 01:35:20,181
- Reason? [laughs mockingly]
819
01:35:20,740 --> 01:35:22,326
I really like you, man!
820
01:35:22,326 --> 01:35:27,854
You want to gain the upper hand over me...
by using the wisdom I imparted on you!
821
01:35:28,358 --> 01:35:29,696
- Then, let it be. [Elza]
822
01:35:38,935 --> 01:35:40,263
[crows caw over field]
823
01:35:41,919 --> 01:35:44,756
- Here! Come here comrades! [Russian soldier]
824
01:35:46,279 --> 01:35:48,091
- This one is still alive.
825
01:35:48,693 --> 01:35:51,209
- A medic! quick! We need a medic here!
826
01:35:54,253 --> 01:35:56,212
- The wounds aren't serious, just superficial.
827
01:35:56,212 --> 01:36:00,118
A lucky man.
He'll be up on his feet in a few days.
828
01:36:02,580 --> 01:36:07,567
- Who is this man?
Does he have any military or Party papers on him?
Where are his documents?
829
01:36:08,426 --> 01:36:13,697
-Nothing, comrade captain. The scavengers
probably took all his stuff thinking he was dead.
830
01:36:14,663 --> 01:36:19,863
- Never mind: we'll figure it out later.
Take him to the rearguard and let the doctors check him.
831

"We need all available hands: the worst part is yet to come.
