Give us a hand, Galtsev.
- Hello, Katasonov!
- Hello, sir!
Give us something interesting,
Galtsev, some magazines.
With lots of pictures.
Come here.
- Here. This one's about scouts.
- I've read it.
- How about this one?
- This one, too.
- And this one?
- This, too.
- You're lying!
- I'm not.
I was stuck at HQ all this time.
I did nothing but read for 3 days.
I got you a spring for the gramophone
at HQ.
Thanks, Katasonych.
It's under the bed.
- What's this, so big?
- An art book. Captured material.
- Any pictures in it?
- It's all pictures.
Give it to me.
You should've listened to him sprechen.
Like a real Fritz.
I wanted to make him an interpreter,
now he's in command of a battalion.
Look!
Are these Germans?
Yes, it's an old engraving.
They're Germans, all the same.
Look at this skinny one on a horse.
I saw one just like him
on a motorcycle.
Look, they're killing the people here,
too.
It's just a painting.
No...
I know them.
Who is this? A German?
He's either a German doctor,
or writer.
They have no writers.
I saw them burning books
on the square.
They poured petrol over them
and set them on fire.
There was soot in the air for a week
after that.
This writer lived
about 400 years ago.
Well, then maybe...
If they spot us,
our gunners will keep them down.
We'll leave Ivan a passage
in the swamp.
I retreat last.
Got it?
What's this?
I think I'd better take
one of Galtsev's boats.
- Will you take me along?
- Where to?
To the other bank.
A volunteer, eh?
Can you swim?
Don't you worry. I can swim
this river and back 5 times.
What a hero.
Are you trigger-happy, too?
Stop it.
You see? He's so touchy.
No self-control.
How can I take you across?
- Then you don't get a boat.
- We'll commandeer it.
Or I'll report you to the Commander,
and you'll bring it to us on your back.
Come on, stop it.
He'll give us a boat.
Am I right?
All right. Let's go have a look.
You stay here and rest up.
Wow! What a knife!
Listen, Galtsev, would you give it
to me?
I would, Vanya, but...
Don't be a miser. Give it to him.
This is a memento.
It was my buddy's. He was killed.
- Let me have it till tonight.
- All right.
Why should I go with you? You're not
taking me across, right?
Come on. I'll take you,
but not today. After the war.
It's okay now.
We'll listen to it after supper.
I'll get you a knife just like it.
I'll get one tomorrow.
By all means.
Where're his parents?
- Whose?
- Ivan's.
I don't know. They say
his mother and sister were killed.
His dad was a border guard.
I guess he was killed in action.
Really?
He's been through more
than you can imagine.
He was a partisan, too.
He knocked about the world.
What'll become of him?
The colonel or Katasonych will adopt
him when the war's over.
Why them and not you?
I would,
but the colonel says
I need some upbringing myself.
Katasonych!
He's really good at stealing boats.
He'll never take a bad one.
Tell us, Galtsev,
how many owners have you ripped off?
- Which one?
- Take this one.
- No.
- What do you mean, no?
He should be sent to the rear.
A war is no place for children.
Stop it, will you?
You see, Lieutenant,
if we don't take him across,
he'll go on his own.
All he can think of...
is vengeance.
Don't waste your breath explaining.
They can't see here beyond their nose.
Didn't you say
you wanted to adopt him, and now...
What's the matter with you?
Get lost! We'll manage without you.
That's not the way to do it.
- All right, Kholin.
- Don't Kholin me!
The colonel is right.
You do need upbringing.
Watch out, or I'll report you
to the commander.
Well... keep cool.
That's the main thing.
Slowly... carefully.
And remember,
we have to get him alive.
Got it?
THERE ARE 8 OF US.
ALL UNDER 19.
IN AN HOUR FROM NOW
THEY'LL SHOOT US.
AVENGE US.
Hurrah!
Surround the building!
Don't let him out!
Hands up! Come out!
So you're hiding!
You can't hide from me!
