"Episode Five" "You value the human honor so much so it must mean that being kissed amounts to being dishonored." "Would you argue with me over that?" " No, I won't." "Dasha seems to have come." "Come on in." " Hey, girls!" "I've just hardly shrugged off a man." "Guess who?" "Are you running so thick on boyfriends?" "It was a chef." "Come on!" " No, he really was." "He came in as I was riding a tram." "He sat down and asked me what stop I was going to get off at." "So we had to step off the tram together." "I asked him about his acquaintances in our campus." "He said that he knew a guardswoman in our hostel." "Where did he come from?" "Lyuda taught me all these tricks last fall." "Thanks." "Never mind." "She said that we girls had a bad habit of strolling around in couples." "She added that a good walk in the Sokolniki park is a lonely one." "I went there alone and that's how I found him." "He inquired about my job but I never acknowledged that I was a postgraduate." "By the way, a learned woman is a scarecrow for any man." "I answered that I worked as a cashier in a bathhouse." "And he started cajoling me." "More questions, more inquiries." "What about you?" " Me?" "Me?" "There are only black pitfalls in the places where my possible boyfriends might live and smile." "All the boys from our class vanished in this war." "There are only girls left." "There is no one to fulfill a simple female joy of becoming pregnant and giving birth to a baby." "Nona, would you put the gadget into its place when you finish?" "All right." " Where is Nadya?" "No idea." "Girls, how long is all this going to continue?" "Five years have passed since the war ended." "It is high time to severe this botched relationship." "What nonsense are you talking now?" "Are you nuts?" "This is the only way to love." "A true love is capable of overstepping any tombstone." "Listen, dear this is something too transcendental." "Nadya has one unpleasant trait." "She's too keen on indulging in her woes." "She zeroes on them." "Girls, I guess she's been making fools of all of us." "She doesn't have any hopes for him coming back from this abyss." "Have you ever listened in to her talk about him?" "Not in the present time." "It is always the past." "What has happened to him then?" " Don't you all understand?" "He's alive." "But he left her and she's ashamed of recognizing that." "That's my guess." "Might she be sacrificing herself for him?" "Might her silence be conditioned by the situation?" "It's her fixation." "She's imagined that she's a saint and must be faithful to her dead man." "No sacrifices involved." "She's mad to jitters about a good caress." "Schadov has been seeing her lately." "All these visits do not mean anything." "What really matters is her ability to hook him up." "You must be envious of her." "Who?" "Me?" "He's not much of a man for me." "Schadov..." "You haven't seen my Rodrigo yet." "This is Nadya." "I'm awfully sorry, Nadya." " It is all right." "Would you like a cup of tea?" " No, thanks." "What's up, Nadya?" "You left in a very good mood in the morning." "Am I spoiling your mood?" "I'm sorry." "I didn't mean to hurt you." "As Aristotle used to say, a man is a social animal." "So we can only radiate mirth and never sorrow." "Don't you understand that sometimes people have their blues?" "I understand the blue moods very well" "My mom and I received two death letters for my dad and my brother." "Both came in in one week." "My mom was severely ill for quite a time after that." "She died too." "Do you still feel bad?" "You shouldn't be so self-centered." "You shouldn't tune yourself into being the only sufferer in this world." "I'm really sorry, girls." "I'm really sorry." "Damn this stupid thesis." "I'm tired of reworking it over and over again." "I simply can't." "How can you be so disappointed about it?" "Forget idolizing of the West, cleanse it of any foreign names..." "We all have to follow the same mode of action." "You leave all this crap for us to clean after you." "Don't clean it up." "I haven't been asking you to." "Don't touch my bunk at all." "And save me all this morale building." " But you must understand that a person might care about something else except all these night pleasures of yours." "Are you envious?" "No hook-ups on your part, eh?" "If you lost your way and came to a postgrad hostel instead of a monastery, sit in the corner and stop pretending that you're a saint." "I'm really fed up." "All this vulgarity seems to be living on and flourishing." "Are you pleased now?" "Adios, amigas." "Ciao!" "Off she goes to the brothel." "I'm off too." "Don't expect me to come back too early." "Mouza let's go to the movies." "What's on?" " The Indian Tomb." "Let's go." "But this is sheer commercial crap." "I'm telling you we should go." "It's in the auditorium nearby." "Nadya, we're going to the movies." " And then to the brothel." "It's a bad joke, Mouza." "Prisoner Roubin, you used to be a Communist, didn't you?" "I hope one day you'll become one again." "I still remain Communist." " Don't interrupt me." "The Soviet government and the state security bodies display their trust in you." "You'll hear the state secret of worldwide importance off this tape." "I hope you'll help us to disclose the scoundrel who wants his Motherland being still bullied by the A-bomb." "I hope you fully understand that in case you disclose this secret you'll be terminated." "Is this clear to you?" " Yes' it is." "Take a seat then." "Lieutenant, start it." "Please write this down and pass to the Ambassador at once." "Wait a moment." "I'll summon our interpreter." "I won't wait." "And I won't talk to any of the Soviet people." "Do not hang up." "Listen..." " Who are you?" "Identify yourself." "I'm talking about the fate of your country and more." "Listen, one of these days in New York, the Soviet agent Kogan is supposed to receive in a radio shack..." "I can hardly follow you." "Call the Canadian Embassy." "They have better Russian speakers out there." "Listen!" "I'm still here." "One of these days the Soviet spy Kogan is supposed to receive important technological data on the A-bomb manufacture in a radio shack at the following address..." "Glinka." "The Fantasy waltz." "Good afternoon!" "You don't expect visitors, do you?" "It is all right." "Come on in." "I came to see you today several times." "I wanted to ask you to go out with me, but you were not here." "Now I want to propose to you a game chess." "Doesn't my suggestion shock you?" " Not at all." "That's great." "I really hate the idea of going to the movies to watch this Indian tomb." "Choose your color." "You'll be playing the whites." "I'll be playing the blacks." "Do you feel awkward within these walls?" "You do not belong here." "I don't belong here either." "I'm still out there." "I'm still out there in the trenches." "These streets aren't eager to accept us soldiers." "I served in the engineering corps." "I didn't served in the headquarters." "and left the frontline only for brief hospital stays." "When I was in the frontline I thought that when I came back home from this war, everything would be different..." "But where to?" "My home was bombed out of the existence." "I had no more relatives left." "And no one expected the survivors back here at home." "You're welcome." "Well..." " The fuses have gone off again." "We all cook on electric stoves here." "So it means we should forget about any chess games for tonight, shouldn't we?" "Right." "It is a pity." "Nadya..." " What?" "Do you see me?" "Pretty vaguely." "So do I." "Vaguely." "Where are you?" "Are you here?" " Yes, I'm here." "Nadya... you..." "Do you know how dry hay catches fire?" "No, I don't." "But I think this fire catches on immediately burning everything down to the ground." "To the ashes." "And ashes are blown away by the wind." "Why are you throwing all this fire into dry hay?" "Do you see it that way?" " How should I?" "There have been many sparks." "I like you very much." "But I have a husband." " I know." "He's MIA." "He's not MIA." " Do you still believe he'll come back?" "No, I've seen him today." "Where?" "In the Lefortovo prison." "Death can't be turned back." "But it happens only once." "What if a man is taken to the camps right from the frontline?" "This state is here to stay." "What if there are another 10 years to live through?" "What if everything would end up with lifetime exile?" "What if I need to fill in a horrible 8-page form?" "What am I supposed to write there?" "Let it be so." "I've told him everything." "He's out to his own war." "Take this glass and don't be upset." "Staying alive is foremost, and happiness... happiness will always find its way to a man." "Let's drink for his rebirth from the dead." "It is your move now, Captain." "Well..." "Come on, play it now." "Is it better?" "OK, I'll give it a try." "Do you have anyone under suspicion?" "Who should I compare it with?" "We do have 5 Foreign Ministry people who might have had access to this info." "Excluding Gromyko and a few other people." "I wrote down their names omitting their ranks and positions." "I don't want you to be afraid of hurling any of them." "Petrov, Syagovity, Volodin, Schevronok, Zavarzin..." "No, no, our lieutenant will retain the list." "All right." "I'd like taped phone conversations of all these people." "You'll have the tapes tomorrow." "One more thing." "Would you complement the names with their ages and language fluency?" "Yeah, that's what I thought about." "Why isn't he switching to any foreign language?" "What kind of a diplomat is he?" "Or is he so cunning?" "But he could ask some simpleton to conduct this conversation for him." "Not likely." "That's what we must know as soon as possible." "Is the criminal among these five suspects or not?" "If needed, we'll take in another five people." "And if the situation requires, 25 suspects will be taken in." "Or 26." "I'll need this tape all the time starting from this moment." "Lieutenant Smolosilyev will have it." "You two will be assigned a separate room in the top secret sector." "Yes, sir." "It is already being vacated." "Who else may I talk to about this job?" "Only with the head of your lab Major Roitman with Foma Gourianovich Oskoloupov, and with the Minister himself." " May i talk to you?" "Me?" "Yes, you're welcome." "Do you understand my warning in full?" "Should I repeat it?" "I understand it." "I need to leave." "I must think about this job." "You may leave." "Start working." "Major, all this relates to you too." "Petrov, Syagoyity, Volodin." "Schevronok, Zavarzin..." "Petrov, Syagoyity, Volodin." "Schevronok, Zavarzin..." "I didn't expect myself getting so frightened." "I have such a disgusting feeling about all that." "They couldn't have traced my call from a public phone booth so quickly." "Any voice identification is hardly possible." "Sheer guesswork?" "It needs to be proven." "Too many people have been briefed on the details." "But the call itself was sheer bragadoccio." "It was a kind of a suicidal move." "What a damned Don Quixote I am!" "It looked like an obsession." "Who would have benefited from this call?" "They urged me to call the Canadians." "All these self-conceited idiots!" "Who is that, Uncle Avenir?" "This is you." " Really?" "It really looks like me." "Is that my Mom?" " Yes, it is you and your Mom." "I remember this place." "Once there was a swan lake here." "No, they were two geese." "Where is the water?" "The spring dried out and all the water is gone." "Did a turtle live in the pond?" " Yes, it did." "Its name was Masha." "Yes, her name was Masha." "Uncle Avenir, isn't it hard for you to live here?" "It is much more comfortable to live in the city." "Am I not living in a city?" " I mean all the modern conveniences." "I mean central heating and running water." "Here you have to carry water in buckets and heat your own stove." "But I never get sick here." "Making your own woodland and carrying your own water are good if they take a reasonable amount of your time." "All this is human life at large." "Listen in!" "This is the city noise." "And the air around is so halcyon." "Can you hear the nightingales singing?" "I've been living here for all my life." "Your grandfather built this house." "I know." "My Mom used to tell me about that." "The city can suffocate you." "I mean these 5-storey cages." "In the same apartment with this whining class." "What class?" " The proletariat." "These folks are as stalwart as nails and leave the radio on all day long." "As they turn off their radios, you have only 5 hours 55 minutes of sleep." "Proletariat breaks their empty vodka bottles right under your feet dumps their garbage right in the middle of the street." "Has it ever occurred to you why they're called the working class?" "I could never understand why they are called the working class." "They are the most uncivilized ones." "The peasants communicate with the land and the nature." "That's where their moral roots come from." "The intelligentsia are accustomed to permanent intellectual work." "And these folks are laboring within dead walls, using inanimate machines to manufacture soulless objects." "Where should they take their ideas from?" "And all these things around are not hard to live with." "They are natural." "All the work here is at peace with my conscience." "When I'm taking out my garbage, it is an honest job." "When I'm pouring out my waste, it is an honest job too." "When I scrub my floors, it's again the same feeling." "There isn't anything evil in working on my land or heating up my stove." "A salaryman..." "A salaryman is stripped of that honest feeling." "That's not for me." "I couldn't even work as a librarian let alone a teacher." "What was there in a library job that made you retreat?" "Well, you have to swear at good books, and to praise bad ones." "You have to cheat on young minds." "Can you name an honest job?" "It is so natural to live not on the asphalt, but on a plot of land that you might cultivate." "The very feeling is different." "No matter how numerous the holes in our weak fences are, this land is my fortress, It is my best defense." "I've been living that way for all my life and" "I've never sought another fate for myself." "And on the outside there abound only wicked things." "It might be the radio or a tax warrant, or another state burden fiat." "Every foreign knock at my gates has only brought me problems." "No one has ever come here with any good news." "But there are things that are much more difficult." "What?" " What's the most difficult thing?" "To hoist the national flag on holidays." "Private owners must always display the flag." "Then everything will be OK." "They will turn a blind eye to anything." "This is a forced form of the loyalty to the government that you might not respect at all." "Have you read any books by Hertzen?" "I mean in a thorough way." "Yes, I've done some reading on him." "In some of his books he directly asked where the limits of personal patriotism were." "Why love towards one's Motherland should be extended to any government that rules it helping them in exterminating their own people." "Yes, the love to your Motherland should be extended to any government that rules it." "What are you thinking about?" "My life has broken into pieces." "Into fragments." "Do you know what I'm thinking about?" "Look at this circle." "It stands for mankind." "The allegedly United Nations." "And there is a smaller circle inside this bigger one." "This is our Motherland." "Now what?" " And the smaller circle seems to be a part of the larger one." "Right?" "Nothing of the kind." "The smaller circle is fenced off the larger one." "It is surrounded by the fences of prejudices." "They are barbed wire strips." "And you can't get through either with your heart or your body." "There is no way out." "And what do we get from that?" "There is no mankind out there." "No mankind at all." "There is only your Motherland." "And we all have a different notion of it." "Well..." "It is so nice here." "Wow!" "Seven toy elephants!" "I remember them." "Is that you?" "This is my autoportrait." "But it seems to be a failure." " Why did you hang it up here?" "Raissa Timofeevna likes it." "She says I look like Marsha Voroshilov." "Who is that?" "And this is Raissa Timofeevna." "Very pretty." " Yes." "In her youth." "Is it my Mom?" " Yes." "This is she." "At the age of 12." "She used to be very beautiful." "I like her." "Why is there such a tractor in the picture?" "They didn't manufacture them back then." "You have a good eye for details." "Right." "I's my later add-on." "What for?" " Out of vanity!" "I wanted it to be displayed at the Victorious Socialism art exhibition." "They told me that they would take it if they saw visible traits of socialism in the picture." "So, I added this tractor." "I'm still ashamed of it." "You might have changed it later." " No, let it remain here." "This is a good cure for my further vanity." "Every time I look at it, I feel a pang of shame." "Are you still painting now?" "No, I gave up this occupation long ago." "Why?" "Why?" "Do you hear the nightingales singing behind the window?" "Do you think they keep singing all the summer?" "Yes, I do." " No, they don't." "Only until early June." " Really?" "Yes." "While it's still springtime." "They'll stop singing around the 1Oth of June." "And never beyond that day." "It is strange." "Sparrows keep chirping all the year round." "Sparrows are sparrows." "Yelena Sergeevna, I'm so glad to see you." "This is for your nephew." " Thanks a lot." "He'll be very glad." "What about our boss?" "Is he holding a meeting?" "Can I have an appointment with him?" "What about my business trip?" "It must be time to submit the papers." "Any news?" "I can't say for sure, but I've heard that the deputy minister have postponed it." "For a long time?" " I don't know." "But don't worry." "My best regards to Vladimir Ivanovich." "My best regards to your wife as well." "Thanks." "And Happy New Year." "Thanks a lot." "What might all this mean?" "Vyshinsky has already authorized the trip." "I was supposed to be leaving on Wednesday morning." "But it is not the proof of my plot being cracked." "I must have waited until the departure date." "But then the warning would have been late." "But I was late anyway." "There wasn't any need for this call." "Now I'm doomed to end my life under torture." "I'm feeling so disgustingly weak." "Should I just keep waiting without ever acting up?" "Or should I jump out of the window?" "It is the second floor." "One minute of the flight would end it all." "It might be pretty sensible to commit suicide." "I wish I could know for sure that I'd be arrested?" "I wish all this could end sooner and I would be taken in!" "End of Episode 4" "Subtitles webrip for KG Quigley (12.2014)"
