The other bank.
- Hear that?
We've got a volunteer.
Can you swim?
- I can manage.
I could swim this river five times.
- You're quite a fellow.
You're not trigger-happy,
are you?
Lay off!
Hear that?
He's got a short fuse.
No self-control.
How can I take you across?
- Then you don't get a boat.
- We'll just take one.
Or I'll report you
to the divisional commander.
That's enough, you two.
He'll give you a boat. Right?
Enough of that.
Let's go have a look.
You stay here and rest up.
What a knife!
Galtsev, may I have it?
I'd give it to you, but--
Don't be greedy.
Give it to him.
It was my buddy's.
He was killed.
Let me have it till tonight.
All right.
Why should I go? You won't take me
across, and you know where the boats are.
Relax. Come on.
I'll take you across after the war.
They tell Masha not to go
Beyond the river
They tell Masha
It's working now.
We'll listen to it at dinner.
You'll have a knife
just like this.
I'll get you one tomorrow.
Tomorrow.
- Where are his parents?
- Whose?
Ivan's.
I don't know.
His mother and sister
were killed, I think.
His dad was a border guard.
Killed too, I think.
I see.
He's been through more
than you can imagine.
He was a partisan too,
in several places.
What'll become of him?
The colonel or Katasonych
will adopt him when the war's over.
Why them and not you?
I'd take him,
but the colonel says
I need bringing up myself.
Galtsev here is certainly good
at stealing boats.
He only takes the best.
How many boats have you stolen?
Let's take this one.
- No.
- No what?
He should be sent to the rear.
A war's no place for children.
There you go again.
If we don't take him across,
he'll go on his own. It'll only be worse.
He's got just one thing
on his mind:
vengeance.
Don't waste your breath explaining.
They can't see beyond their own noses.
We see just as much as you do.
Didn't you say you wanted to adopt him?
Will you lay off? Mind your own business!
We'll manage on our own!
Come on now.
- Fine, Kholin.
- Don't "Kholin" me!
The colonel was right.
You do need upbringing!
Watch out, trouble-maker,
or I'll report you to the commander.
That's it.
Keep cool --
that's the main thing.
Careful.
And remember:
We have to take him alive,
understand?
THERE ARE 8 OF US
NONE OVER 19
IN ONE HOUR WE'RE TO BE
TAKEN OUT AND SHOT
AVENGE US
Hurrah!
Surround the building!
Don't let him out!
Hands up!
Come out!
Hiding, eh?
You can't hide from me!
Are you shaking?
You'll answer
for everything! I'll --
You think I've forgotten?
I'll sit in judgment
at your trial!
I'll ... I'll --
Welcome
to our little tea party!
Damn it!
That was our best dinghy!
Just thank God you're alive.
You and your dinghy!
Hurry!
Can't you move any faster?
Ivan!
Don't be afraid.
They'll stop soon.
What is it, Ivan?
I'm not afraid.
I hear you were a partisan.
- So?
- Why'd you leave them?
The Germans surrounded us
in the woods.
They sent me out by plane
to a boarding school,
but I ran away.
You just eat up
grain supplies
while studying the importance
of herbivores in man's life.
Yeah, boarding school's
not the thing.
You ought to go
to a military school.
Has Kholin
been coaching you?
Why? Kholin's not the only one
with brains.
You've done your fighting.
Rest up. Go back to school.
You know
who rests during wartime?
Useless people!
True enough.
But war isn't your business.
Not my business?
Have you been to Trostyanets?
- Where?
- The death camp.
Then what are you
lecturing me about?
What do you know?
You're all plotting
against me!
Smoking again?
Go on and smoke.
It'll turn your lungs green.
Green? So what?
Nobody can see them.
- I don't want you to smoke.
- Okay, I won't.
Let's have dinner
before we start out.
- Where's Katasonych?
- He was summoned to HQ.
He left?
Without coming by
to wish me good luck?
He couldn't.
It was urgent.
Still, I can't
