of bullets.
Ah, you only live once... Come on!
Take it to your right.
Stepan, to your right.
Are you crazy, man?
Give up, you've lost your game.
Come on, shoot, son of a bitch!
Hands up!
You'll take me only after I hack
you down, the wolves' feed.
ldiot!
Drop the saber.
- Who fired?
- I did.
What for? He wouldn't get away.
Just to be sure.
I see that killing a man for you is
the same as to cut a chick's head!
Where did he get a gun
and the guard's uniform?
If we took him alive,
we would have found out.
Listen, Mitka,
that's the one I met while hunting.
I told you, remember?
With such a trifle,
you could go to Platon.
I'm stealing his bread as it is.
He did fix it once.
The next day it fell apart.
- We'll fix it for good.
- How much will you sting me?
You're a prickly character, aren't
you? Sting you, hah...
For friends, I can do it
for nothing.
What friends?
As for your rudeness,
I'll forgive you this time.
Sorry if I did something wrong.
You're a man of the town.
I'm of the same dust
as you are.
Come on! You've been here for
a while, and never went to church.
You've got books.
- Take some to read.
- We don't need that.
Of course, it's much more fun
to go chasing girls.
- All right, what's your price?
- We'll come to an agreement.
Hey, boy, pump it, will you?
I want to tell you something
about your Vassily.
Can you keep your mouth shut?
What's there to tell?
Everyone knows he's in the mines.
He was!
But not anymore!
- Where is he?
- You shouldn't ask such things.
Tell your grandfather not to worry.
He's alright, and in a safe place.
Vassily is a lone wolf now.
- You're still a stupid boy.
- Well, that's what I am.
- When can I come for my scythe?
- Tomorrow.
It's enough!
Ganka!
So, don't forget to tell
your grandfather!
Only yesterday you called me
Your sweetheart, in front of all.
And today, my dear betrayer,
You forgot me, once and for all.
You're enamored with another
For her riches,
my treacherous friend.
Why am I not as rich as she is,
Who separated us, the fiend?
The precious ring
that you had given,
A gold ring with turquoise stone,
I will hold to my heart, dear,
Over it I'll cry, when I'm alone.
Aunt Akulina cures all the lassies,
Cures all kinds of sickness,
Except for lovesickness.
Strim-tilim-tilim-tilim,
Except for lovesickness...
Why is the light on in the smithy?
Wait a minute!
The escape's been postponed
for a few days.
They expect an inspector from
St. Petersburg at the can tomorrow.
- Has the guard been paid?
- Yes.
Are there any guarantees?
There are, but he demands
more money.
Scoundrel!
- Petrovsky's escape's to his credit.
- Yes, I know.
Are the passports good?
They'll be valid
until the emigration.
The most important thing is to get
them out of the Zerentuy District.
- Want to stay overnight?
- No, Semyon.
The night is dark, and the road
is long. We'd better go.
- All right.
- Take care.
Let's go.
Go on!
Watch out, Platon,
if you're saying it for spite!
What are you talking about?
I'm a Christian, am I not?
Mitka, go to Chepalov's!
Tell Nikifor to come with his gun.
The passports are ready.
And they said something about...
- About what?
- I didn't understand. A bad word.
All right. Let's go to Guerasim's.
- He's here!
- Let's go!
Come on!
Hold him! Tie him up!
It's done!
Nikifor, rake away the coals.
Platon, look up there.
- Yelisey!
- Open it!
Some uniforms.
Wanted to play-act at being
mining engineers?
- And what is that?
- Look here.
Where are the passports,
Mr. Blacksmith?
Have you swallowed your tongue?
Want me to give you a punch
to make you talk?
I found it!
Timofey...
Keep quiet, blacksmith,
or you'll lose your teeth.
Count it. I want everything
to be according to law.
Here are the passports.
"To whom it may concern.
The bearer of this, N.P. Fiveysky,
head of a prospecting party,
accompanied by three employees
of the Mining Department,
is
