cars!
Roman, get over here!
Coming!
No! Part of the gold has been
taken away.
How? It's been taken!
To chase them? The city's in revolt!
The station is being attacked!
Can't you hear what's going on?..
Onward, gentlemen!
Mount your horses and gallop to
the water-tower.
Guerasim!
Take them on the right flank!
Fire along the street, Guerasim!
Are you deaf or what?
- Fire along the street!
- I'm running out of cartridges!
Hold on! It'll be over soon!
Roman, we're leaving. You leave
too, after the train takes off.
Lead your people to Kurunzulai.
We'll set up a partisan base there.
All right!
Vassily Andreyevich, hurry up!
Well, Roman! If we're lucky,
we'll see each other.
Grab the machine-gun and leave!
On your horses!
Come on!
Rest!
- Shall we unsaddle the horses?
- No!
Roman, let's make it to home.
We can rest there.
It will be quite a detour!
- We could take a steam bath.
- And have a good time!
- What if Semyonov's there?
- Not likely. It's too early.
We're risking our necks, Fedot.
No risking one's neck,
no getting in jail.
Come on, Roman!
- Ah, what the heck! Mount!
Ataman!
Semyonov is in Chulbutinskaya!
Thank God! At long last!
How do you know it?
The Red Guards told me. Roman
Ulybin's plundering the armory.
Get the Cossacks on horses!
We'll take them there!
I won't let anyone spill our own
Cossacks' blood!
Platon, Mikhail, follow me!
Guerasim, get the cart.
The ataman is coming!
Mitka, go home!
Back up!
Out of my way! You're looking
at the village ataman!
And you're looking
at the Red Guards commander!
You trash...
Uncle Yelisey, go away.
- Can't you stay, Roman?
- No, I can't, dad.
Well, mother...
Take care of yourself, son.
- Where to, now?
- To the forest.
Should you meet Vassily,
give him my regards.
All right!
The Cossacks are here!
Don't even try to do anything!
- Maxim, bring the firewood!
- All right!
- Nikifor, give me a smoke.
- No!
- Just one smoke.
- I said, no!
Miser!
Stop knocking, you jerk!
- Give me some water!
- Forget it, Red trash!
Bastard!
Stop it, Roman. All you can get
from them is a bullet, nothing else.
It smells like funeral.
It's too early for us to die yet.
I didn't mean it.
It smells of besoms.
No! Let go of me!
But why?
- Get in and shut up!
- Let me go!
I haven't done anything!
No!
- Mitka!
- Right.
- Hi!
- Hi!
What are you doing here?
- How long have you been here?
- Three days.
That's it! I'm finished!
Were you with the Reds?
The hell do I care for your Reds!
I was in the taiga!
Those bastards caught me.
They thought I was a partisan.
I told them: " I'm the son
of the Mungalovsky ataman!"
But they won't believe me!
I have nothing to do with all this.
Sure! You wanted to sit it out
in the taiga!
What are they going to do to me?
Please, tell them about my father,
will you?
Stop it. You'll have plenty of time
to bemoan your fate!
- When were you at Mungalovsky?
- Last summer!
How are my folks? Are they being
harassed?
They made your old man join
the armed detachment.
- Did the ataman organize it?
- He was ordered to do it.
How about my masters,
the Chepalovs?
They're in the detachment, too.
All of them, except for Alyoshka.
- Why not him?
- He's been killed.
No kidding!
He joined the Semyonov Army
after you split from the village.
People say it was you who did him
in to make even.
- How's Dashutka?
- She lives with her folks now.
What am I going to do, guys?
I found gold in the taiga.
- What?
- Never mind!
- Where?
- Forget it!
You'll be knocked off anyway
for being a partisan.
No! They have no right!
- But why? Why?
- It's serious, man.
I'll get out of here anyway!
I'll get away from here, I promise!
We've already checked it out.
The Cossacks made it to last.
Why me?
I didn't touch anybody!
Those who wish to repent
of the crimes committed
in the ranks of Red bands,
get down on your knees.
We committed no crimes.
I see! Everyone is
