Original subtitles

- Is it you, Kubas? - Yes, it's me

- What's with the gun? - Just in case.

Come on in.

- There was a call from Dava's men, trying to scare me. - Like they can scare you.

- You alone? - Yeah. My son's out for a walk and my wife's at her sister's.

There you go.

I don't need that. Haven't you figured out still that it's not about the money for me at all?

Listen, don't be such a stuck up, man. Job's a job. It's like this everywhere.

It can still be worked out. Let me do the talking.

So I get screwed by my own people, again?

Senya, I'm asking you as a friend, don't go to the pigs.

No, Lyonya, I've made up my mind.

I'll put them all behind bars, tell them so.

You should probably go. I have to start on the dinner.

- Could i ask for a drink? - Sure. Want some juice?

Yeah.

Yes, honey.

Misha, put the shovel and axe in the water. Sergey, get the fire.

Paulina, get some branches.

What are you doing?

Have to chop off his leg..

What??

Fuck. Guys... You can't chop off his leg!

You can't chop off his leg! What are you, a doctor or something?!

He's got gangrene. It looks like he's already got blood poisoning.

That's why he has a high fever.

Whouldn't have said any better, myself.

You can't chop off his leg! You can't just just chop off his leg!!!

He doesn't have much time, if at all...

Fuck you, get away from him! I won't let you!!! I won't let you!!!

Paulina! Why aren't you saying anything?! Tell them!!!

We need to make a tourniquet out of a belt. Take yours off.

Put this in his mouth so he doesn't bite his tongue off. Sergey, let's go.

Guys, You can't chop off his leg!! Are you serious?

Stop the fucking hysteria, Marina!

Do you want him to live or not?

Do you want me to do it, or?

I'll do it.

You chop, I cauterize with the shovel and we're done

It's gonna be ok.

Everything's gonna be okay.

Here.

We have to do it with two hacks.

- What if we can't do it in two? - Make sure you can, then.

Just don't stop, Sergei.

- Antosh. - Anton,

I told you to sit over there! - I wanna watch. I'm old enough.

Turn around, quickly, and go sit over there!

Come on.

Just pretend it's a log. Go on.

Let's go.

Lyosha, don't ever leave me again! - Baby, I'm here, I'm here.

It's alright, everything's alright all right. - Don't go.

It won't happen again. Was on the job...

(Doctor) Breathe, breathe.

- Lyosha... I'm gonna die! - Don't say that

If I die... if I die, don't suffer, find someone else...

Promise me she'll have a mother. - Don't talk nonesense. She already has a mother.

Bring in the anesthesiologist and the nurse, quick. We have a placenta detachment.

- What's happening? - We're doing a C-section.

It's ok, baby, it's ok.

Fucking, chop it off, Sergey!!!

No, I can't do it!

I can't do it!

Fuck...

Shit.

It's okay.

God help me.

(ave zervas)

(speaking local)

Will you cure him?

I ain't fucking moving unless you tell me who you are and where are we going!

I'm Lakka.

He's all white already.

Paulina, it's gonna be okay.

But you have to understand, without antibiotics there's very little chance.

You... you...have to prepare yourself.

(Lakka) Get him inside.

There.

(speaking local)

(Sergey) Together, now. - Take him inside.

On two.

Careful, careful.

(Sergei) Whatch the head. - Irina, could you watch Nastya?

Stay here.

Come on, Anton, let's go.

There we go

Get some firewood.

Stand back. Hold his head.

Don't touch that!

Poison. -Sorry...

- Why are you standing there? - I don't want to come in, okay?

If I go in and he'll...

No one's dying here today, you got that? I've known people like your dad, tough as nails.

He needs you now, more than ever.

Go to him.

Here.

Bad. Very bad.

- We have to go to Seid. - Seid, who's that? A doctor?

No, not a doctor.

Please, please don't go! You promised you'd help him!

Be quiet! I need to go.

- We have to ask Seid's protectors. - What protectors?

- Spirits. (Anton) Like, ghosts?

Ok, Anton, let's go find Mom.

- But I want to help! - So help her, let's go.

Hey, ferret, come here.

Here, you will help.

and so will you. - Where is he... where is he now?

He's not here, but he's not there yet, either. Let's go.

(speaking local)

- What? - There's meat. Bring it.

Come here.

Put it on the wound.

(Sergey) Why?

Take some firewood, too.

Damn, that's some bullshit!

I'm not sticking maggots in his fucking wound so they can eat him alive!!! -It's not bullshit, Marina.

They're gonna help him.

- Eww... - They don't eat living tissue.

Only dead tissue. I saw that in "Gladiator".

Oh, who is she anyway?

Hey, look at that schnoz. My nose, you can tell.

- Where were you this morning? - At work.

I know about your other phone. You're hiding it in the kitchen.

You having an affair? Look at me.

What are you talking about? An affair, really?

- You're doing business with David again? - Honey, don't start.

Lyonya, I'm scared.

I'm waiting for something bad to happen every day: house blowing up, war, you name it.

You never know what's gonna happen tomorrow.

I just want to make sure you don't get shot in an alley somewhere.

- Baby, come on, don't think that way. - There's three of us now. If that's what I think it is, you have to stop, please

In that case I have an affair, definitely an affair.

I saw you through the window.

- Who? - You and Paulina.

You were hugging her.

So?

You shouldn't do this again.

What the hell are you on about?

Her dad's on death's door, she's afraid to go see him, she needs support.

- You shouldn't do this again. (to his dead brother) Can you belive this guy, Lyoha?

Hey, ferret, are you crazy? You can't talk to the dead here.

Who's Lyoha?

My brother.

- (in local dialect) - Yeah.

Don't go any farther, you'll anger them.

Anger who?

- Are we just gonna stand here? - She told us to wait and so we will.

There's a man dying, and we've come to look at the stone.

We need to save him! - Just wait a minute.

Maybe she can really do something.

I had a great-grandmother. She was known throughout her village as a white witch.

My mom had a fistula once. So Nana came, wisperded something over her

and it went away the next day.

- Can you believe it? - You're uneducated.

This witchcraft and rituals were all made up by ordinary people.

What the fuck are you talking about?

Wait. Wait, come back. - Look! See?

I stepped over and nothing happened, see?

- Come here. - I stepped over.

I stepped over and nothing happened.

What?

- Don't move. - Stop it.

Do not move.

Don't move!

It's just... just a coincidence. Coincidence... Coincidence...

It's okay. Everything's okay, come here.

Calm down, it's okay. It's okay. Everything's fine.

Don't do anything foolish, I'm responsible for all of you, you know.

You can't be responsible for us. You're just a passerby!

Who else am I gonna be responsible for, if not you. I have noone else...

- What are you doing? - Trying to lower his fever.

Shoo, shoo, shoo. Seid has accepted the gifts. Now, go.

Now I'll be pulling him out.

What's his name, by the way? - ... Lyonya.

Lyonya.

Go on, get out.

- What are you going to do with him? - Out, out.

Help him, please.

For his life, Seid will take something in return.

What?

Somebody else's life.

(Irina) What is it?

Marina? -I don't know.

Said she will treat him now.

Where's Nastya?

Shit

(whispers incantations)

- Nastya! - Why are you impeding me?!

Make up your mind, either come back or let go!

- Okay, come here. - Found her? Thank God.

Let's go, that's it.

(shouting in local language)

How'd it go? Did you cure him?

- No. - What do you mean, no?

- I'll try again tomorrow. He hasn't decided yet. - What do you mean "he hasn't decided yet"?

What should we do?

You promised!

Go put new worms on his wound. You, too.

(Marina) Irina.

Thank you. -That's it, eat up.

You'll need your strength too. - Thank you.

- Go ahead. - Thank you. - It's hot - Hot.

- Hold the plate. - Let it cool down.

Here, take.

Lyonya

(Leonid mutters something)

He's calling out to mom.

He just loved her so much...

I'm sorry.

I know. It's okay.

When all this happened to Mom, he never left her side at the hospital.

That was the first time I've ever seen him cry...

And when she...

He called out to her every night.

He probably never forgave himself...

For what?

What are you talking about?

It's just... when he was drunk once, he was telling me that he was doing some shady business in the 90s.

He was in construction, okay.

(Irina) How are you managing here all alone?

It IS hard without a man in the house, but it's ok. I know the woods.

- Were you born here? - No, I was born in Kem, city not far from here.

And this here is where we belong. All our ancestors lived here.

My grandmother lived here.

How did you just leave everything and move here so easily?

It wasn't that easy. My son died. Meningitis. So I left.

If you know how to cure, why didn't you cure him?

(Sergey) Mish.

Don't be sad for her.

She's doing good over there.

It's not your fault, that's what she wanted.

It's the truth.

Are you.. uhh.. a witch?

I am noida (Saami ppl shaman). Our whole kin is like that.

It's hereditary.

Why are you helping us?

Grandma always said: "The world will break apart if you don't help."

No one helped me and my son.

Somebody's got to stitch this world back together.

- You want us to walk you to the terminal? - Mom, I'm not a little girl anymore. Just wave to the plane.

He looks a little short, Paulina. No?

And who's that boy over there?

Dad's got himself all worked up about something... And he's just uhh... a Muscovite, too.

Come on, study hard, Muscovite. I mean it. If I learn again,

that you're hanging around gay clubs, we'll take you back to Korolev to study.

-Yeah, right, sure -Yes.

Not happening.

Halt.

Come here.

- I love you, little booger. - I love you, too

- We'll be there in December. - Ok, bye!

- Alrighty then. - Let's wave to the airplane, shall we?

- Sure, sure - Oh, I think i'm getting a blister. Ow.

(Leonid groans)

Lyonya. Lyonya, Lyonya, Lyonya. It's okay, it's okay. It's all right.

It's okay, it's okay. It's okay. Shh, shh, shh.

Baby girl.

Lakka, Lakka!

- What is it? - Can you get some water?

(speaking in local language)

There, there, baby.

Come on, drink up, drink up.

(speaking in local language)

(speaking in local language) - What?

- I'm using it to poison the wolves.

Did you eat that? Did you eat that?

Here, drink some more. -The shelf is high.

She couldn't have reached it on her own.

Wait a minute, you've been with her all this time! What did she eat?

- We all ate the same thing. - We all ate from the same pot.

Here, drink.

Made it in time. Would have been dead by morning.

God...

Wear it and don't take it off, okay?

How could this have happened?

- How's the girl doing? - She's fine, sleeping.

And your dad, how's he?

No change.

Hey, Zhenya, can you take a look at my back? It's very itchy and sore.

...holy shit it's big - What?

- A tick, that's what. - What do you mean?

Exactly what i said.

Well take it out! Please!

If I pull it out now, your husband will kill me later.

He already told me off as is.

You serious? Come on, please, hurry up and pull it out!

Ehh.

Give me some thread.

- Well? - Looks like you've been feeding it for a week.

No comment please.

Well? - One sec.

Here, look. - Ewww! Ugh!

Keep it.

- Okay. - Thank you.

- Have you seen Anton? Where'd he go? - Should be in the barn.

Damn

Tosh! (Knocks on door) Tosh.

Tosha, look what I found. Wild nuts. Want some?

I'm not coming out.

- So you gonna sit there forever? - Yes.

Tosh, nobody's accusing you of anything.

We just want to get to the bottom of it, how this happened. - I didn't touch that fool!

I didn't plant anything! Leave me alone!

Okay, okay, I believe you.

Well, do you want some nuts or not?

No.

There's still breakfast.

Nastya, by the way...is fine. Lakka gave her medicine, she's sleeping.

So let her sleep.

Ok that's it, come on out, let's talk like grownups

- You not gonna punish me? - No.

- Where is he? I'm sick of this. - Ira, Ira, wait... wait.

- You will tell me right now what you did! - Irina!

I didn't do anything. - Ira, nobody knows for sure,

what happened. -So let him tell me!

You were sitting next to Nastya when I was feeding her yesterday. What did you do, tell me?!

She did it to herself! She ate the poison herself to set me up!

Shame on you! The little girl... poisoned herself to set you up?!

What the hell are you talking about?

So if it was you... If I find out it was you...

I'm gonna leave you here with Lakka and take Nastya with us, got that?!

Whatever. Lakka DID say it was hard for her without a man in the house.

- Anton! - Ira. -Let go of me!

(Anton) I wish we never met her at all!!

- What's wrong with you, Ira? - What's wrong with me?

- Well. I don't know. Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Lakka gave you something yesterday.

Are you ok..?

It's hormones, Sergei. Toxicosis. Even Lakka's figured it out by now.

- Ooh is that thyme? - Yup.

It's very potent here.

Daddy loves thyme, by the way. We'll brew him a whole bucket, when he wakes up

We'll make a thyme bath for him when he does!

He might not wake up.

Stop it, Misha.

- I just want to be realistic. - Shut up.

- Paulina, I'm sorry, but if he... - Fucking hell, he's not gonna die, okay?

- Light a fire in the house. I'm going to Seid. - (Irina) I'll do it.

We can't live like this... We have to have faith.

How's it going?

Is she feeling better?

Yes

Lakka's gone into the woods to gratify her spirits

She asked me to light a fire in here. - So do it.

Damn, Marina, do you think I'm not worried about her?

I snapped at Anton too, although it's not clear at all whether it's his fault or not. -I don't give a shit. As long as he stays away from Nastya!

Why are you raising your voice?

I was hoping you could keep an eye on her while I'm with Lyonya, that's why!

Calm down, get some sleep.

I'm not gonna sleep at all, now! I'll be watching them, here, so something else doesn't happen!

Stay in bed! Lie down and stay there! - Quiet, calm down.

You're not going anywhere, because this is the only place that's safe!

We've got a gunshot wound, patient is in critical condition.

Should get some more painkillers?

That's enough for now. It'll kick in soon.

Hang in there, it'll get easier.

Lena, it's gonna be okay.

I'm right here, I'm with you.

How much further? - Almost there.

Fuck, guys, what's wrong with her?

What's wrong? Is she dead? - She's in a medically-induced coma.

- What's that? - (whispering)

- You guys, it'a Lyonya!

What's happening?

Lakka, Lakka, get Lakka NOW!!!

Lyonya! Lyonya!!!

Lyonya, Lyonya...

Hi, handsome. Are you sad?

- Mm-hmm.

- My name is Marina.

- Lyonya. - Nice to meet you.

(echoing)My name is Marina....

Interested?

I'm out of practice, here. I usually get hit on first.

But you're cool. You remind me of my dad.

No, what i meant to say was...

you got that look in your eyes, you know, so familiar!

I still can't figure it out, your eyes...

I got it! You look like Ryan Gosling. You know?

(muffled) Well, this Hollywood actor...Has anybody ever told you that you look like him?

(echoing)

He also had a movie, a great one. Where they met young

and then broke up but still loved each other all their lives.

Have you seen this movie?

Will you dance with me? That's my favorite song.

Lyonya...

I just thought love was for kids.

I know now exactly what's worth in this world.

I just didn't know what love was back then.

I just didn't know what love was, Lyonya... I just didn't know...

If they want my life for yours, let them take it!

Just don't leave me! Please, Lyonechka, don't leave me!

Don't leave me!

Please, Lyonya, don't leave me! Please, please...

Lyonya!

I'm begging you...

Just don't die...Please...

Don't leave me...

Marina! Marina. Marina. He's awake! He's awake!

(Paulina) Dad.

(Marina) Lyonya.

Water, give me water, water!

Come on, come on.

- Lyonya! - Here.

Lyonya

Lyonya...Lyonya!

Where's Nastya?
