1
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:35,680
Go, go, go!
Get up! Forwards!
2
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,400
Forwards!
3
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,040
- We're the same troops.
- Regiment 4?
4
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,040
No, 3th. Come along.
5
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:10,120
Get up! Get up!
You're Latvians!
6
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,050
Get up!
7
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,160
Get up!
8
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:32,360
Forwards! Get up!
9
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:51,555
1915. World War I
10
00:03:51,585 --> 00:03:55,310
The German kaiser's army has marched into
the Russian Empire and is quickly approaching.
11
00:03:55,340 --> 00:03:57,990
There is no exact front line.
12
00:03:58,020 --> 00:04:02,970
There are no orders given
regarding the German advance.
13
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,000
Go back to sleep.
14
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,240
Go and greet Mother.
I'll go find Father.
15
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,113
Hide under the bed.
16
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:07,753
Elbow!
17
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:12,919
Hush, Barons!
18
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,198
Hush, Barons!
19
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,635
Don't shoot!
20
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,395
In the barn!
21
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,519
...worked here before the war.
22
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,077
- Spies!
- Don't shoot!
23
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:45,834
Silent!
24
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:51,998
Move, Russian!
25
00:06:52,280 --> 00:06:54,237
Down, boy!
26
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:10,071
Hush, Barons!
27
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,240
Hush, Barons!
28
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,796
It's not your fault.
29
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:11,952
Come on, hurry up!
The Germans are close to Jelgava already.
30
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,956
Burn everything!
Don't leave the cattle for the Germans.
31
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:33,634
- May I take my mother's ring?
- Yes.
32
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:56,950
- Will we burn the house?
- Let them burn it, if they want.
33
00:09:57,680 --> 00:09:59,797
The cattle will not make till Riga.
34
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:00,757
Next!
35
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:05,954
Next!
36
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,597
- Move!
- Next!
37
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,232
Next!
38
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,077
Too young. Next!
39
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,551
He's got my permission.
40
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:28,672
- Are you his father?
- Yes.
41
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,800
In two months, I'll be seventeen.
42
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,071
Mother's permit?
43
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,195
She was shot by the Germans.
44
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,951
Next!
45
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,398
Too old.
46
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,715
Give my documents to the commander.
47
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,196
The Sargent major of Kexholm Regiment.
48
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,317
Exactly.
49
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,990
17 distinction certificates
for outstanding shooting skills.
50
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:39,878
Correct.
51
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,953
Served for 15 years.
52
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:46,757
Sign him up.
53
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:26,954
- God bless Latvia...
- Stop it. It's forbidden.
54
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,078
Fuck you, there are
only Latvians here.
55
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:36,831
God bless Latvia,
our dearest Fatherland,
56
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:44,556
Oh, bless Latvia.
Oh, bless it!
57
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,390
Prepare the grenades!
58
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,275
Forward in a chain.
59
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,630
Yes! Victory!
60
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:35,876
Arturs! Watch out!
61
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:46,632
Arturs!
62
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,992
Vanags, Spilva!
63
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:56,558
- Half an hour in slope arms position.
- Why?
64
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:58,957
An hour!
65
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:02,559
In marching position!
66
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,953
Present arms! Take!
Attack! Go!
67
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:17,713
A soldier must not think.
68
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,596
Reload, aim and shoot.
Understood?
69
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,452
Did your father drill you
like that at home too?
70
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:34,959
No, at home he was just dad,
not a sergeant major.
71
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:39,197
Load! Aim! Shoot! Forwards!
72
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:42,274
Faster!
73
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:46,634
What are you doing?
74
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:50,197
A soldier mustn't think.
Forwards!
75
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:55,469
Impressive, Konrads.
76
00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:58,960
A real acrobat.
77
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:03,560
But how hard is it really?
78
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:08,398
Run, Mikelsons!
79
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:15,754
Let's see how hard you are,
you Riga moron!
80
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:28,838
Is that ours?
81
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,231
You can tell by the sound
that it's ours.
82
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:35,114
I think.
83
00:17:36,120 --> 00:17:40,592
Hide! Run for cover!
84
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:46,480
A plane! Everyone run for cover!
85
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:52,152
Faster! Hide!
86
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:38,598
These are too small for me.
87
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,531
Then report that you can't go to war.
88
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,037
Yeah, right. They will
fit without socks.
89
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:48,719
Mikelsons!
90
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:51,952
Spilva!
91
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:57,632
Vanags!
92
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,039
Vanags!
93
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:26,274
Soldiers!
94
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,119
Today you made an oath
to the tsar and Fatherland!
95
00:19:31,120 --> 00:19:32,839
Be faithful to it.
96
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,394
And don't spare your lives.
97
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:41,710
Listen to the command!
98
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,113
- A real hero.
- Riflemen.
99
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:49,952
It's 40 km till the frontline.
100
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,151
In 7 hours, we'll be there.
101
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,956
With a song, quick march!
102
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:45,719
"They will fit without socks."
What a jerk.
103
00:20:46,120 --> 00:20:48,077
Can you keep it down?
104
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:50,758
Did you come here to sleep?
105
00:20:53,360 --> 00:20:57,593
- The little boy has a blister?
- Shut up.
106
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:13,917
Are you totally nuts?
107
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,760
Miss Frau.
108
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,515
A rat race.
109
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:30,671
Hush!
110
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:33,997
Guys, do you hear it?
111
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:44,475
Spilva! Go gas the Germans!
112
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,912
A doctor! Doctor!
113
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:38,637
Put on the bayonets!
114
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,640
I said, put on the bayonets!
115
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,880
Everyone to the parapet!
116
00:22:56,160 --> 00:23:00,279
If we don't respond,
they will start firing even more.
117
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:33,955
- Are you blind?
- As if you can see anything.
118
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,271
Don't shoot.
119
00:23:37,120 --> 00:23:39,954
Get ready for the attack.
120
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,031
Stand in a single line.
121
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:49,632
Back!
122
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,471
We wait.
123
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,710
Load your weapons.
124
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:22,915
Vanags, we must go that way.
125
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:31,311
Arturs! Had you gone home?
126
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,233
Leave him. We can't help him.
127
00:25:58,120 --> 00:26:00,157
The fog is clearing.
They will wipe us all out.
128
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:02,917
Move forwards.
129
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:28,716
Grenades!
130
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,195
Go!
131
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,198
- Perhaps Mirdza?
- Show it to me too, Mikelsons.
132
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,515
Just bless yourself.
133
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:10,712
Some tits.
134
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,958
- You should go to the infirmary.
- I'll stay.
135
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:40,959
- Stop stealing.
- I'm not. Just airing the pockets.
136
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,755
And where did you get the boots?
137
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:51,834
With these boots the fighting
will be much easier.
138
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:38,677
216?
139
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:44,319
Vanags.
140
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,754
Spilva, killed in Sloka.
141
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:53,557
Mom!
142
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:00,151
Clean them properly!
143
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:02,910
Make them look like new!
144
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:07,833
Is that my blood?
145
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:11,518
Germans have blue. It's yours.
146
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:16,758
- And Estonians?
- Fiery.
147
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:24,479
Attention!
148
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,560
- The unit stays in reserve tonight.
- Copy that!
149
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,714
Arturs Vanags is to be appointed
at the sergeant's disposal.
150
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:36,637
- Rifleman Vanags!
- Here!
151
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:41,551
Happy Birthday!
152
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:44,999
Thank you.
153
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:48,594
At ease.
154
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:51,271
The boy has turned seventeen.
155
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:03,673
The Krauts are everywhere.
156
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:08,277
- Let's leave.
- Come.
157
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,475
- Go away!
- Come on, Lolya!
158
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:40,149
Lolya, sweetie, my sunshine.
159
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:43,675
Can two soldiers rest here?
160
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:49,154
- Edgars.
- Arturs and a bottle of Tokay wine.
161
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:53,950
And a present from the trenches.
162
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:55,315
I hate white wine.
163
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:59,037
We hate it too.
164
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:02,677
Arturs saw a plane.
165
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:08,954
- Olya.
- Arturs.
166
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:26,114
So...
167
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:30,119
Here you go.
168
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:33,393
- Do you want to get us drunk?
- Yes, I do.
169
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:36,840
So be it! Let's get drunk!
There's war, after all.
170
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:40,717
So be it! Bottoms up.
171
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:52,039
- That is my sword.
- Really?
172
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:55,280
Where have you been with your sword?
173
00:34:55,720 --> 00:34:57,951
Why is your brother so serious?
174
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:01,079
Ask him. Go on.
175
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:04,997
Why don't you laugh?
176
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:09,952
I like you in uniform.
177
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,036
Can I try on your hat?
178
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:24,798
How should I salute an officer?
179
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:27,957
Sir, Private reports!
180
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:30,393
Sir, Private reports!
181
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:35,519
If I give you an order,
will you do it?
182
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:37,354
Yes.
183
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:41,351
Kiss me.
184
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:03,038
Should have dug the boxes
of seeds deeper at home.
185
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:06,633
Everything grows spoiled.
There will be nothing to sow.
186
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,510
But here we are, thousands of us,
sitting here and doing nothing.
187
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:14,874
We could plough a square verst per day.
188
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:19,357
Wait for the orders, soldier.
We'll have a chance to fight.
189
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:28,551
To the cellar.
190
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:37,560
Put the cap on the bayonet
and lift it up.
191
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:41,076
Give it to me.
192
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:48,950
Lower, not so high.
193
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:53,635
Lift it up and down,
as if he was walking.
194
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:59,957
Not jumping. It's not a dance.
195
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:06,515
Slower. Dumb as a rock.
196
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:09,110
Stop teaching me.
197
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:13,277
- How can I, stupid.
- Acting like a professor.
198
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:20,195
A sniper. Any volunteers?
199
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:27,955
Very well.
200
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:32,150
A sniper.
Post to the right.
201
00:37:36,240 --> 00:37:39,472
Two go forwards.
Lay low.
202
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:23,799
For being so weak,
you deserve a tribunal.
203
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:53,356
My boy.
204
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:01,196
What are you doing?
205
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:04,035
He's got a bullet in his neck,
but you give him milk.
206
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:29,831
Mirdza!
207
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:34,789
Don't talk. A bullet was removed
from your neck, do you understand?
208
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:39,312
It had gone through the shoulder
two millimetres from the artery.
209
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:42,390
You were lucky.
210
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:49,960
Dear boy.
Still a boy.
211
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:53,111
War is not for boys.
212
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:59,351
Should have stayed home
with your mom, studying.
213
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:09,992
Dear son.
214
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:12,955
I heard that you had fallen
in the battle.
215
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:16,360
But I know, that you are alive.
216
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:19,276
There is no news.
The front is quiet.
217
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:23,396
Konrads strangled another one,
218
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:26,634
and I managed to
shoot two more bastards.
219
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:29,640
That makes thirty altogether.
220
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:34,834
It is cold as hell here,
my bones are aching,
221
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:38,875
but when I think about you
and Edgars, and home,
222
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:41,557
I forget about the affliction.
223
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:45,320
Mother talked about you in my dream.
224
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:51,400
Edgars had already come home,
but freezing.
225
00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:00,034
You are strictly forbidden to smoke.
226
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:18,595
- I'm sorry.
- You shouldn't talk either.
227
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:30,192
Visiting hours are over in an hour.
228
00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:52,674
Get plump and healthy as a horse.
229
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:55,152
Greetings from Olya.
230
00:42:56,320 --> 00:43:01,111
- How are they?
- Drinking.
231
00:43:02,720 --> 00:43:04,598
How is father doing?
232
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:09,397
Crawling closer to the Germans.
233
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:12,391
Shooting every day.
234
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:16,233
He got a message that
you were killed in battle.
235
00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:19,716
But I'm alive.
236
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:23,671
That's a good sign.
237
00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:26,031
What do you think about this, officer?
238
00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:29,478
"While kaiser is having
children for breakfast,
239
00:43:29,720 --> 00:43:32,760
"behind the front, German spies have
recruited murderers of Bolsheviks,
240
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:35,918
"promising land and money
that does not belong to them.
241
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:39,477
"The tsar is ready to die for you.
242
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:42,270
"Let's not give in to propaganda."
243
00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:48,793
Check, if these are the right ones.
244
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:57,079
It's mine.
245
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:00,674
I guess you'll be going to
the Island of Death.
246
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:07,600
Play one.
247
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:10,799
Marta, let's hit.
It's Easter.
248
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:31,955
I'm sorry for smoking.
249
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:35,391
Once healed, you'll be
able to smoke again.
250
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:39,515
- My name is Arturs.
- I know.
251
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:43,869
Why are you here at the hospital?
252
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:46,480
My father and brother are in the front.
253
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:49,754
And I cannot look after
our farmstead alone.
254
00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:53,560
My father and I decided it
is best for me to come here.
255
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:56,752
- What about your mother?
- My mother died.
256
00:44:57,800 --> 00:44:59,917
I'm sorry.
257
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:14,873
Shall we dance?
258
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:32,832
My name is Marta.
259
00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:52,380
The Island of Death. 1916
260
00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:54,558
The Kraut soldier
was put there for punishment.
261
00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:59,194
The Germans have no guts.
262
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:04,238
They want us to waste bullets
on their jerks.
263
00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:08,033
- It's a piece of cake.
- Stop.
264
00:46:08,720 --> 00:46:12,191
Why do you pity him?
Perhaps he shot Spilva.
265
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:15,396
Perhaps he put a bullet
in the heart of Arturs' mother.
266
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:18,838
We're not executioners.
He'll get shot tomorrow in the battle.
267
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:27,751
German asses! Bang bang!
Come here!
268
00:46:59,880 --> 00:47:01,951
You are an ass!
269
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:09,956
Stop shooting.
270
00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:33,036
Father.
271
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:15,037
Kill him.
272
00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:27,831
Shoot!
273
00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:36,274
It's wrong.
274
00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:39,673
Shoot.
275
00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:53,591
If your mother were here...
276
00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:03,594
I hope she can forgive me
for taking you to the war.
277
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:13,115
- How many?
- What?
278
00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:17,316
It should be 60 by the end of summer.
279
00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:31,079
Gas attack!
Put wet cloths on your face!
280
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:34,478
Faster! Come on!
281
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:37,716
Help the 6th battalion!
282
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:44,469
Friendly troops!
283
00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:56,356
- Edgars! Edgars!
- Arturs!
284
00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:03,359
- Where is father?
- What?
285
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:05,951
Where is father?
286
00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:51,952
They are real devils.
287
00:50:53,720 --> 00:50:57,600
Sons of bitches. They keep on
censoring letters.
288
00:50:58,080 --> 00:51:01,357
It's so you don't spoil your eyesight,
reading so many letters.
289
00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:04,718
But I can't see shit of what
my sweetheart writes.
290
00:51:07,360 --> 00:51:09,192
Dickheads.
291
00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:12,998
Attention!
292
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:21,197
Vanags didn't come for replacement.
Do you know where he is?
293
00:53:15,120 --> 00:53:19,194
- Lieutenant Vanags!
- Here!
294
00:53:20,520 --> 00:53:22,720
- Who put the gun in the grave?
- Commander...
295
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:25,953
- Suspend!
- I did.
296
00:53:27,600 --> 00:53:29,796
Losing a gun means tribunal!
297
00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:36,154
Commander, sergeant major Vanags
killed 56 Germans with this gun.
298
00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:40,476
He deserves to be buried with it.
299
00:54:01,840 --> 00:54:04,116
You did right.
300
00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:08,195
Fire.
301
00:54:33,600 --> 00:54:34,795
Latvian Riflemen.
302
00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:39,717
You will succeed in attacking Germans.
303
00:54:40,120 --> 00:54:47,630
You are lucky to fight together with the
best Siberian units of the 12th regiment.
304
00:54:48,240 --> 00:54:51,836
With your bayonets we will liberate Jelgava.
305
00:54:52,680 --> 00:54:55,240
Mothers and fathers are waiting for you.
306
00:54:56,080 --> 00:54:59,198
You will embrace them after the victory.
307
00:55:00,240 --> 00:55:02,038
God be with us.
308
00:55:04,040 --> 00:55:06,271
Volunteers step forward!
309
00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:16,950
You'll report the route to the others.
310
00:55:26,760 --> 00:55:28,877
The tsar promised that we'll get home.
311
00:55:30,320 --> 00:55:32,471
Godspeed, boys!
312
00:55:34,240 --> 00:55:35,959
At ease!
313
00:55:36,440 --> 00:55:39,638
You'll get fed. This is
for special occasions.
314
00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:42,759
- Could I have some bacon, please?
- Perhaps you want boar's balls?
315
00:55:44,840 --> 00:55:46,638
Hey, this is for three days.
316
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:48,480
What's in my stomach is mine.
317
00:55:48,800 --> 00:55:51,561
If I get shot, at least
Germans won't get it.
318
00:55:51,640 --> 00:55:54,280
Are you stupid? What are you doing?
Volunteers?
319
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:58,090
I'll take you off the front line
to join the signallers.
320
00:55:58,120 --> 00:56:00,112
Maybe also give me a candlestick?
321
00:56:05,920 --> 00:56:08,594
Alright. I'll go with you.
322
00:56:09,320 --> 00:56:10,913
Come.
323
00:58:37,440 --> 00:58:39,557
Fire!
324
00:58:42,560 --> 00:58:45,598
Petersons! Petersons!
325
00:59:15,320 --> 00:59:17,835
Go, go, go.
326
01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:37,517
Give me your hand.
327
01:01:21,680 --> 01:01:23,160
You wanted to shoot me?
328
01:01:31,280 --> 01:01:33,511
Arturs, grenade!
329
01:01:54,320 --> 01:01:56,357
Kill me.
330
01:02:44,640 --> 01:02:46,757
How is it?
331
01:02:47,160 --> 01:02:50,312
Good.
332
01:03:07,360 --> 01:03:10,273
It should be done.
It's been cooking for three hours!
333
01:03:11,240 --> 01:03:12,959
Add some wood.
334
01:03:13,440 --> 01:03:15,830
Then it will boil faster.
335
01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:18,912
- Number three?
- Yes.
336
01:03:20,000 --> 01:03:22,196
Distribute it to your folks.
337
01:03:24,120 --> 01:03:25,679
It's lice powder.
338
01:03:26,000 --> 01:03:28,356
It's salt!
339
01:03:29,720 --> 01:03:33,600
- It's salt!
- Lice powder!
340
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:36,834
- It's salt!
- Why are you laughing?
341
01:03:37,040 --> 01:03:39,032
Let's take it off.
342
01:03:40,000 --> 01:03:41,354
What is happening here?
343
01:03:42,560 --> 01:03:44,791
Permission to report, captain,
344
01:03:45,240 --> 01:03:46,760
the Estonian can't cook a goose.
345
01:03:49,120 --> 01:03:50,315
What?
346
01:03:50,580 --> 01:03:53,667
Yes, Your Highness.
On behalf of our company,
347
01:03:53,892 --> 01:03:57,798
we invite you to share
this goose with us.
348
01:04:00,520 --> 01:04:02,477
Well, if you treat me.
349
01:04:02,880 --> 01:04:04,792
- Right.
- Here you go.
350
01:04:18,440 --> 01:04:23,231
Slowly, slowly. Who said
the Estonian can't cook?
351
01:04:47,600 --> 01:04:49,478
- A parcel.
- For whom?
352
01:04:50,040 --> 01:04:53,272
For Petersons.
Check if there is food.
353
01:04:54,400 --> 01:04:57,950
- It's from his mom.
- Read it.
354
01:05:07,880 --> 01:05:09,633
My dearest boy!
355
01:05:10,440 --> 01:05:13,319
I received the money
and even your previous letter
356
01:05:13,560 --> 01:05:14,914
that seemed to have been lost.
357
01:05:15,680 --> 01:05:18,639
Now, I have some wool.
358
01:05:19,040 --> 01:05:22,954
I will knit mittens
for your friends too.
359
01:05:24,040 --> 01:05:27,078
When my heart gets sad
and full of fear,
360
01:05:27,680 --> 01:05:29,797
especially in the dark evenings,
361
01:05:31,040 --> 01:05:34,192
I light a lamp by the bedside
362
01:05:35,000 --> 01:05:40,997
and look at my dearest boy's face.
363
01:05:43,680 --> 01:05:49,472
And then I feel at ease and
remember the good times,
364
01:05:50,200 --> 01:05:54,558
when we were all together and happy.
365
01:05:58,720 --> 01:06:00,473
Smoke got in my eyes.
366
01:06:01,520 --> 01:06:03,751
Every evening, I pray for
367
01:06:04,400 --> 01:06:09,350
my boy to return safe and sound.
368
01:06:10,560 --> 01:06:14,952
Kisses to my little boy.
Your mommy.
369
01:06:16,040 --> 01:06:17,838
Gather your things!
370
01:06:20,360 --> 01:06:22,636
We are returning to the
previous positions.
371
01:06:23,240 --> 01:06:26,551
Why? The Siberians should be
in Jelgava already.
372
01:06:27,600 --> 01:06:31,480
It's an order to me
and so it is to you.
373
01:06:33,040 --> 01:06:35,396
The orders are not to be discussed.
374
01:07:13,080 --> 01:07:18,030
Where are the reinforcements?
Where are the Siberians?
375
01:07:21,600 --> 01:07:23,910
Movement is impossible.
376
01:07:26,000 --> 01:07:30,153
I repeat, movement is impossible.
377
01:07:30,680 --> 01:07:34,276
We are under attack.
378
01:07:37,440 --> 01:07:40,558
Understood!
379
01:07:43,840 --> 01:07:45,560
At night, we will pull back.
380
01:07:47,040 --> 01:07:49,475
The Siberians refused to attack.
381
01:07:49,760 --> 01:07:51,672
But we are so close.
382
01:07:51,920 --> 01:07:55,914
It'll be fine. We'll get home.
383
01:08:06,000 --> 01:08:08,834
Lower! Lower!
384
01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:34,469
Brother. Brother!
385
01:09:09,880 --> 01:09:13,920
Wait. Wait!
386
01:09:25,720 --> 01:09:27,712
Fire!
387
01:09:40,840 --> 01:09:42,832
Brother!
388
01:09:45,000 --> 01:09:48,710
Everyone retreat!
389
01:10:55,240 --> 01:10:57,675
- Jekabs?
- Killed.
390
01:10:58,400 --> 01:11:00,835
Alberts?
391
01:11:07,360 --> 01:11:11,240
- Have you seen Pukis?
- No.
392
01:11:12,000 --> 01:11:14,913
Has anyone seen Rudzitis?
393
01:11:48,120 --> 01:11:50,510
Out of my way.
394
01:11:55,120 --> 01:11:57,237
Why didn't you come help us?
395
01:11:58,400 --> 01:12:00,357
Read it yourself.
396
01:12:05,720 --> 01:12:11,114
"The war will bring the end
to the tsar and kaiser.
397
01:12:11,680 --> 01:12:18,837
"Point your weapons towards
ministers and generals.
398
01:12:19,800 --> 01:12:22,031
"Lenin has promised to liberate Russia,
399
01:12:24,120 --> 01:12:27,397
"let us liberate Russia and return home."
400
01:12:27,680 --> 01:12:32,479
"Land - to the peasants!
Put an end to the war!"
401
01:12:33,200 --> 01:12:34,714
And do you believe them?
402
01:12:35,040 --> 01:12:36,520
What else can we do?
403
01:12:36,840 --> 01:12:39,514
I will not fight
for this damn tsar anymore.
404
01:12:41,160 --> 01:12:43,959
Do you think that Lenin will
really grant us freedom?
405
01:12:45,840 --> 01:12:47,559
We'll see.
406
01:13:06,000 --> 01:13:07,912
Marta?
407
01:13:14,760 --> 01:13:17,719
My father. He didn't come back.
408
01:13:18,200 --> 01:13:19,953
What is his name?
409
01:13:21,080 --> 01:13:22,799
Peteris Feldzers.
410
01:13:23,440 --> 01:13:26,717
- Brother?
- He was killed on the Island of Death.
411
01:13:29,920 --> 01:13:33,311
If I find out something,
I will write to you.
412
01:13:53,880 --> 01:13:55,917
Does it hurt?
413
01:13:57,080 --> 01:13:58,958
What?
414
01:14:01,640 --> 01:14:03,518
A bit.
415
01:14:17,960 --> 01:14:21,237
Marta, the revolution is over.
416
01:14:21,640 --> 01:14:23,210
The tsar and kaiser have been punished.
417
01:14:23,720 --> 01:14:26,155
For two months,
we were guarding Lenin.
418
01:14:27,000 --> 01:14:28,673
Then, we were sent to the South.
419
01:14:28,920 --> 01:14:32,038
I was wounded in the leg
not far from Rostov.
420
01:14:32,520 --> 01:14:36,400
Mikelsons and Konrads
carried me to hospital for 20 km.
421
01:14:37,080 --> 01:14:40,551
At first, the doctor wanted to cut
the leg off, but then decided not to.
422
01:14:41,080 --> 01:14:43,640
I don't want to return home
as a disabled person.
423
01:14:44,160 --> 01:14:46,516
My comrades are being
sent back to Latvia.
424
01:14:46,760 --> 01:14:49,036
When I get better,
I will join them.
425
01:14:49,640 --> 01:14:53,270
We are stronger and more
united than ever.
426
01:14:54,000 --> 01:14:57,152
We'll beat the Germans.
And go home.
427
01:14:58,000 --> 01:15:02,597
I would like to show it to you.
It's very beautiful.
428
01:15:03,800 --> 01:15:05,075
Arturs.
429
01:15:06,800 --> 01:15:10,350
Get back here!
430
01:15:13,320 --> 01:15:15,755
Better tell me what you saw.
431
01:15:16,080 --> 01:15:21,235
They wear red stars. But they run
as soon as the Germans come.
432
01:15:21,720 --> 01:15:23,473
They will have marched into Latvia.
433
01:15:23,800 --> 01:15:27,555
They need to build communism in Moscow.
Who is going to protect us?
434
01:15:27,840 --> 01:15:31,356
- We should have fought for own government.
- Stop talking rubbish.
435
01:15:31,800 --> 01:15:33,837
Every night,
people are killed in Riga.
436
01:15:34,080 --> 01:15:37,960
Some are killed in the brewery.
437
01:15:38,360 --> 01:15:41,797
Some are killed by the Central
prison near the water towers.
438
01:15:42,040 --> 01:15:43,952
Others are killed next to the forests.
439
01:15:44,680 --> 01:15:48,674
They arrest them at noon,
and by the evening they are dead.
440
01:15:49,400 --> 01:15:52,632
Who is to blame for that?
For that Antichrist servants' rage?
441
01:15:53,440 --> 01:15:55,955
Those bastard Riflemen.
442
01:15:56,160 --> 01:15:58,675
- Let's get off.
- I'm going further.
443
01:16:12,640 --> 01:16:14,632
Son of a bitch.
444
01:16:18,280 --> 01:16:19,873
Is he crazy?
445
01:16:20,160 --> 01:16:22,959
It's good that you came.
446
01:16:24,000 --> 01:16:29,075
We wouldn't have managed without you.
447
01:16:33,120 --> 01:16:35,032
No.
448
01:16:39,040 --> 01:16:41,999
I'll go now.
449
01:16:56,880 --> 01:16:59,080
- Comrade commander, allow me report.
- Go on.
450
01:16:59,200 --> 01:17:02,518
Transportation has run smoothly.
The arrested people have been taken to wagons.
451
01:17:02,680 --> 01:17:03,955
At ease.
452
01:17:04,880 --> 01:17:08,078
- Solder Vanags!
- Here.
453
01:17:08,520 --> 01:17:10,716
- How's your leg?
- A bit shorter.
454
01:17:10,920 --> 01:17:12,957
But ready for the revolution.
455
01:17:25,880 --> 01:17:29,157
Third unit!
To the headquarters.
456
01:17:37,440 --> 01:17:39,079
Go on.
457
01:17:41,160 --> 01:17:45,473
Halt! Turn right!
458
01:17:49,560 --> 01:17:51,517
Get in line!
459
01:18:12,840 --> 01:18:14,160
Line up!
460
01:18:15,200 --> 01:18:16,793
Attention!
461
01:18:20,840 --> 01:18:22,559
Isn't that Mikelsons?
462
01:18:35,160 --> 01:18:37,595
For counter-revolutionary activities,
463
01:18:38,800 --> 01:18:40,359
desertion,
464
01:18:40,960 --> 01:18:42,952
assisting in desertion,
465
01:18:43,360 --> 01:18:45,670
assisting in an escape attempt,
466
01:18:46,600 --> 01:18:50,560
and for betrayal, the punishment is:
death by shooting.
467
01:18:51,760 --> 01:18:53,319
Execute the order.
468
01:19:13,800 --> 01:19:16,952
- What are you doing here?
- Guess.
469
01:19:18,520 --> 01:19:21,718
You can die in Russia.
I'll die here.
470
01:19:24,520 --> 01:19:26,000
Shoot me!
471
01:19:26,280 --> 01:19:31,594
March on, Latvians,
let's join regiments.
472
01:19:32,080 --> 01:19:35,039
Let there be blood,
we'll fight.
473
01:19:35,280 --> 01:19:38,034
Let the slaves' chains break.
474
01:19:44,640 --> 01:19:46,393
Aim!
475
01:19:55,320 --> 01:19:57,596
Shoot!
476
01:20:18,560 --> 01:20:21,792
Shoot or you'll be shot.
477
01:20:23,840 --> 01:20:25,957
Understood?
478
01:20:44,680 --> 01:20:47,354
Aim!
479
01:20:55,120 --> 01:20:58,158
Shoot.
480
01:21:03,000 --> 01:21:05,276
Arrest the traitor.
481
01:21:11,520 --> 01:21:15,673
Mikelsons! Bitches!
482
01:21:16,080 --> 01:21:18,072
No, I'll kill you.
483
01:21:18,520 --> 01:21:20,637
Mikelsons, no!
484
01:21:21,000 --> 01:21:25,677
Konrads, help!
Mikelsons, no!
485
01:21:26,800 --> 01:21:28,951
Mikelsons!
486
01:21:29,560 --> 01:21:32,394
Whores! I will kill you all!
487
01:21:33,080 --> 01:21:35,231
Mikelsons!
488
01:22:11,320 --> 01:22:15,553
- Lend me that bucket, friend.
- Why do you need it?
489
01:22:15,800 --> 01:22:18,076
You'll see.
490
01:22:24,960 --> 01:22:27,270
Your station.
491
01:22:37,760 --> 01:22:39,991
What are you staring at?
You've got 10 minutes.
492
01:22:40,920 --> 01:22:42,400
Commander?
493
01:22:51,040 --> 01:22:52,474
Are you sorry for Mikelsons?
494
01:22:52,880 --> 01:22:54,360
He'd be shot anyway.
495
01:22:54,800 --> 01:22:57,315
And you'd all be shot,
if I hadn't done it.
496
01:22:57,920 --> 01:22:59,877
And I'd have been shot.
497
01:23:01,600 --> 01:23:03,637
You will be shot.
498
01:23:22,120 --> 01:23:24,191
Let's go to Marta.
499
01:23:25,720 --> 01:23:27,712
She works as a farm hand.
500
01:23:28,720 --> 01:23:30,518
She'll suggest a hiding place.
501
01:23:31,040 --> 01:23:37,389
No, when the reds are gone, I'll go back,
before the Germans get there.
502
01:23:37,680 --> 01:23:39,273
Who is expecting you there?
503
01:23:39,840 --> 01:23:43,470
Latvians are finally forming
National forces in Cesis.
504
01:23:45,080 --> 01:23:47,549
While I'm not at home,
the war is not over.
505
01:23:52,920 --> 01:23:54,912
Devils!
506
01:23:59,120 --> 01:24:03,239
- To the forest!
- Stop, we will shoot!
507
01:24:08,080 --> 01:24:13,155
- Turn around! Traitor!
- Son of a bitch.
508
01:24:13,920 --> 01:24:15,798
Where are they?
509
01:24:17,320 --> 01:24:20,279
Konrads, let's go.
510
01:24:20,720 --> 01:24:24,555
- Get him.
- Get out!
511
01:24:25,000 --> 01:24:27,560
I'll shoot!
512
01:24:31,760 --> 01:24:34,639
Get out! Don't make me
get off my horse!
513
01:24:37,280 --> 01:24:39,272
From the other side.
514
01:25:28,920 --> 01:25:30,912
- Did you see a solder here?
- No.
515
01:25:31,080 --> 01:25:32,480
- Don't lie!
- No.
516
01:25:32,760 --> 01:25:35,992
- Let's go.
- Comrade, if you see anyone, report it.
517
01:25:36,320 --> 01:25:37,879
Of course, comrades.
518
01:25:44,200 --> 01:25:46,476
Why do you hide from your own people?
519
01:25:48,320 --> 01:25:50,630
They are not mine.
520
01:29:11,960 --> 01:29:13,952
I have to go.
521
01:29:17,400 --> 01:29:19,869
Promise to take me home.
522
01:29:30,120 --> 01:29:32,760
Wrong finger.
523
01:29:48,240 --> 01:29:52,712
We must defend Cesis.
And liberate Riga!
524
01:29:52,960 --> 01:30:00,596
We fought under the reds', the tsar's,
and even the German flag.
525
01:30:01,080 --> 01:30:03,549
And we have always been cheated.
526
01:30:04,280 --> 01:30:10,595
Time to fight under our own
red, white and red flag.
527
01:30:12,920 --> 01:30:15,037
We won't be slaves any more.
528
01:30:15,360 --> 01:30:19,036
Time to defend our land,
our home. Our family.
529
01:30:19,320 --> 01:30:21,471
The guns will be useful.
530
01:30:22,320 --> 01:30:24,118
Whose gun was it?
531
01:30:24,880 --> 01:30:26,792
The rifleman Konrads'.
532
01:30:27,320 --> 01:30:29,516
May I?
533
01:30:47,320 --> 01:30:48,879
Gatis!
534
01:30:50,240 --> 01:30:52,072
Next.
535
01:30:56,080 --> 01:30:57,719
Great army you have there.
536
01:30:58,560 --> 01:31:01,029
Kids, deserters and refugees.
537
01:31:04,520 --> 01:31:07,513
Listen. An Estonian armoured train
is on its way.
538
01:31:08,000 --> 01:31:10,390
Defend the railway bridge
until their forces arrive.
539
01:31:15,600 --> 01:31:17,910
Listen to my command!
540
01:31:20,000 --> 01:31:21,798
Down.
541
01:31:40,000 --> 01:31:43,311
Don't sit there! Get up!
542
01:32:57,000 --> 01:32:59,674
