so?
If he brings Alatyr to life,
I'll be so busy
that I won't have time to get in your way!
And if he can't bring it to life?
Then what's the value in him? Simply a waste.
I agree!
And I will…
break it!
- No!
- No!
Alright. Have it your way.
But know this, Ivan,
if you don't bring Alatyr to life,
then you'll never see your Katerina.
Ivan!
Yangul!
Yangul!
Defend yourself.
I'm a warrior, not a murderer.
She's mine!
Vanya!
No!
No!
I ask you, Yangul!
Please! Don't kill him!
I had promised to fullfill your request.
Will you come with me?
Ivan!
Dear…
You were supposed to bring them here!
Do you hear? Here!
Why did you not do it?
I do not need a slave.
I need a wife.
Idiot!
What does the girl have to do with it?
I need him! The Master!
He can bring Alatyr to life.
Do you know, brainless Yangul,
what's gonna happen then?!
Grass will wither and die,
rivers will dry up!
The Earth will become stone and cold!
And there will be night,
neverending night!
And I will rule across the Earth!
- Let's go.
- Wait.
Ivan, give me the Alatyr.
You don't need it.
It will bring tragedy.
I don't care about tragedy.
If I bring Alatyr to life,
then you and I will be together.
And everyone will know that there is
no greater stone master on Earth than me.
You didn't want to do it the nice way, Katya,
so we'll have to do it the evil way.
Bring the stone to life, Master,
and Katya will be yours!
"And so Ivan began to work.
To bring the Alatyr Stone to life.
He didn't listen to Katya.
And he didn't notice
that the more alive Alatyr became,
the more dark it became outside.
The greater power of the Stone Princess
over the world became."
Katya, it's me! I have come for you!
- Too late, Master.
- Katya, what's with you?
Well, you have brought Alatyr to life, Master.
Now I will remain a witch forever.
And the Stone Princess will take away
your life. You shouldn't have believed her.
Goodbye forever, Ivanushka.
Kuzma! Listen, I'm asking you like a friend!
Make me a sword
that can cut through stone!
I can. In how many days?
In 5 minutes.
Right away.
Bring me the Alatyr!
Kill Ivan!
Only I'm not sure,
if it can cut through stone.
We'll check that right now.
Run, Ivan, I'll hold them off!
No-o-o!
No-o-o! Go!
Do I have to say the magic word?
Please?
"Ivanushka completely lost his head,
when he realized
that Ardars have taken the stone.
He rushed to the well thinking:
'I'll defeat the Stone Princess,
destroy the stone.
I'll free Katya from the spell.'"
The well didn't let me go through.
It's alright.
We'll go a different way!
It's alive! The Alatyr!
Why am I not feeling anything?
Can it be that it's all in vain?
So that's what it is.
Go straight! Into the the Neverending Forest!
Go!
Please.
For God's sake, that is your forest!
You're a magic horse afterall!
You're a horse yourself!
You're a village native, and you can't tell
the difference between a stallion and a horse!
You're not "Ivan the Fool" by any chance?
- Why are you calling me names?
- Just wanted to make sure.
Because if you were "Ivan the fool"
that would be a completely different fairy tale.
Got it. And I'm not "the fool."
That's clear now.
Why are you going into the forest?
The well didn't let me pass through.
And you thought it was some thoroughfare?
The well had let you pass through,
only while the Stone Princess allowed it.
She doesn't need you anymore.
That's why I need to go in the forest:
to find Baba-Yaga and through her rescue Katya.
Maybe you are "the fool" after all?
You better admit it:
you're going to die in that forest!
So be it!
There's no life for me without Katya anyways!
Alright, I'll help you.
You really remind me of a fool.
And fools need all the help they can get.
So in the fairytale I say, "Why are you,
Ivanushka, unhappy? Why hung your head so low?"
- What?
- Be silent. That's the script!
So you've already told me you request…
Blah-blah-blah. "The
