you shaking?
You'll answer for everything!
I'II...
D'you think I've forgotten?
I'll put you on trial!
I'II... I'II...
Want some tea,
Comrade Captain.
Damn! It was our best boat!
You're lucky to be alive.
Forget the boat.
Faster! Hurry!
Can you hurry up?
Ivan!
Don't be afraid. It'll be over soon.
What is it, Ivan?
I'm not afraid.
I hear you were a partisan.
- Why'd you leave them?
- We were surrounded in the woods.
They sent me out by plane
to a boarding school.
But I ran away.
They're just wasting food there.
Memorizing names of reptiles.
Yeah, that's not for you. You ought
to go to a military school.
Did Kholin make you say so?
Why Kholin?
He's not the only one with brains.
I think so, too.
You've done your fighting.
Rest up, go back to school.
Whoever's of use
doesn't rest up in wartime.
Right. But war isn't for boys.
Not for boys?
Have you been to Trostyanets?
- Where?
- That's a death camp.
Why are you teaching me?
What do you know?
You're all together in it.
Smoking again?
Go on, smoke.
It'll turn you lungs green.
So what?
Nobody can see them.
- I don't want you to smoke.
- Okay, I won't.
We'll start out in an hour and a half.
Let's have supper.
- Where's Katasonych?
- He was summoned to HQ.
Why didn't he stop by
to wish me good luck?
He couldn't. It was an emergency.
Why'd they summon him?
They know how badly we need him.
And they summoned him all the same.
A fine friend! He could've stopped by.
Will it be just the two of us?
The three of us. He'll go, too.
Stop grinning. And don't stare at me.
You volunteered, didn't you?
Are you frightened now?
No, I'm not. It's sort of unexpected.
Unexpected...
Everything in life is.
- May I come in?
- Yes.
What's up?
We billeted the new men, Lieutenant.
- Where?
- In Companies Two and Three.
- Very well. You may go.
- Yes, sir.
I wouldn't take you,
but it's an emergency.
Make up your mind.
No complaints afterwards.
What d'you think I am?
All right.
Who'll you leave in command?
I think, Guschin,
of Company 5.
If they learn you crossed the river
without permission...
we'll be in trouble.
Although it won't take more
than two or three hours.
AVENGE US
Wake up, Ivan!
Do you hear? It's time.
Katasonych didn't even stop by.
I told you he couldn't.
You know how he loves you.
Don't you?
I know.
But still, he could have...
Here. Get dressed.
- Need any help?
- No.
Let's jump.
To see if anything rattles.
Dump your matches.
Are you crazy?
Crews, take your positions.
Go chat with the sentry
so he won't notice us... Got it?
And no comments!
Got a light?
Who's that?
It was all so stupid...
They brought the boat here
and had a smoke...
The captain was here.
He was over there...
He started climbing out of the trench.
And then he slid back down.
We didn't even hear a shot.
The captain shook him up:
"Katasonych! Katasonych!"
But he was dead.
The captain said to leave him here...
till morning.
Don't discuss it.
Get the oars.
Who's that?
Who's that, Kholin?
That's our men.
Lyakhov and Moroz.
They went across after you.
There's still time.
Wait here. I'll be right back.
- Come over here. It's dryer here.
- Makes no difference now.
MG-34.
- Are you nervous?
- A bit.
I've become jittery lately.
Can't get used to begging.
They should be buried.
- Who?
- Lyakhov and Moroz.
Sure, we'll do it.
Quiet! Everything's tiptop.
Let's go.
This is the place, guys.
- How do you feel?
- Fine.
- Well, I'll be going.
- I'll go a part of the way with you.
No, you're too big. They'll catch on.
Let me go.
The gully's clayey. You'll leave
footprints. I'll carry you over.
I said I'm going alone.
- See you soon.
- See you.
I'll see you.
Be careful.
If the offensive starts,
meet us in Fyodorovka. Got it?
- See you soon.
- Goodbye, Vanya.
What's up?
I want a smoke.
- Want your mommy, too?
- Cut it out.
I, for one, really do want my ma.
Won't it be good, eh?
- They
