NARRATOR: The Second World War is coming to an end.

Finland and the Soviet Union

have signed the Moscow Armistice

which decrees that Finland must disarm the Nazis

and drive them out of Lapland.

The Nazis adopt a scorched earth tactic

and destroy all roads, bridges,

villages and towns in their path.

Deep in the wilderness of Lapland,

there is a man who has decided to leave the war behind him.

For good.

[WOMAN CRYING]

Pick me.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

SOLDIER: Thank you, General.

I will pass on the information.

Over and out.

The General, he has given us orders.

Turn back and head to Norway from Finland immediately.

Did you tell him he just killed seven of our men?

I did.

And?

He thinks we were lucky.

Fucking lucky.

[SCOFFS]

The dog tags belong to a man named Aatami Korpi.

He was a Finnish commando. The most feared in his unit.

The General said, and I quote,

"He's one mean motherfucker

"that you do not want to mess with."

He fought in the Winter War.

Lost his home and his family to the Russians.

He became a ruthless, vengeful soldier

who took orders from no one.

The Finns, they gave up trying to discipline or control him.

They just sent him out,

alone into the wilderness to hunt Russian patrols.

He became a one-man death squad.

[SCOFFS]

SOLDIER: The reports are unconfirmed,

but it looks like he has over 300 Russian kills.

The Russians, they gave him a name.

They call him Koschei,

"The Immortal."

Immortal?

The road is clear, sir.

We are going to follow our orders, right?

We are turning back?

No.

We are not turning back.

[SNIFFS]

We are losing the war. We are.

In a few months, this all will be over for us.

When we get back, they will... [SIGHS]

hang us all.

That gold is our way out.

They don't need us to get to Norway.

The boys have a crateful of booze

and a truckful of bitches.

I'm sure they'll figure something out.

I would.

SOLDIER 1: The road is blocked. Come and take a look at this.

SOLDIER 2: What's going on?

SOLDIER 1: There's something in the road.

[BLOWS KISS, LAUGHS]

Is this the plane?

No, idiot.

This is something else.

The pilot has been hanged.

- That's my rope. - What?

That's the rope I used to hang Korpi with.

Let's get the fuck out of here.

[SOLDIERS SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

He's dead.

[WOMAN SNICKERING]

- What's so fucking funny? - Nothing.

What the fuck are you smiling for, then?

Do you assholes really think you have succeeded

where hundreds of Russians have died trying?

We all know the story.

You'll see what happens when you take everything from him.

[CHUCKLES DRYLY]

He won't give up.

He'll just keep coming back.

Do you really believe that he's immortal?

No.

He just refuses to die.

We have a word for that in Finland,

but it's impossible to translate.

You see,

this is not about who's the strongest.

This is about not giving up.

And he won't.

Ever.

No matter what you bitches are trying.

You will make him stronger.

So...

what is so fucking funny,

is that you...

your boyfriend...

and everything that is left of your sorry-assed company...

are already dead.
