you?
I know a little.
I need to apologize.
I wrote it down.
Can you translate it
into American?
It's difficult, but I'll try.
But I have a lot of work.
Vasily, rescue me.
I'll owe you one.
Okay. I'll do it.
Get up. Attention.
At ease.
Well guys, will you take
the planes to the front?
We will. Have no doubts.
In three days they will be
smashing the fascists.
Very good. What's your name?
Second Lieutenant Shmatko.
Very well, Second Lieutenant.
Well, good luck, guys.
At ease.
They want to send us
as soon as possible.
I understand, if something
happens in his zone he'll get hell.
The Americans brought the planes.
Now it's Lisnevsky's problem.
Stop talking nonsense.
Anyone seen Zip?
He's probably displaying
his root to the Americans.
Stop your vulgar comments
about your brother in arms.
You said the same things
about Dennis. Why can't I?
Your brains have gone
soft from idleness.
I can't wait to get home.
To our airdrome.
What are you looking at?
Wanna light?
- That's it?
- I think that'll be enough.
No need to impress me
with technical terms.
The planes arrived from Alaska.
So they can fly on, right?
I expect to hear they've
all left by morning.
Don't worry, they will.
Ilya Petrovich,
you forgot a comrade.
You asked for a good cook. I got one.
They sent him from Magadan.
Now I think the allies won't
turn their noses up at the food.
Thank you very much.
Let's go.
Muse, come here.
You're not a diplomat, Sergei.
It's clear the planes won't
fly until they're ready.
They don't understand anything.
For them a plane's like a
reindeer sleigh. You sit and go.
Come here.
Romadanovsky. I was sent on the
third and arrived the eleventh.
All of my papers correspond
with my route and time.
Can you cook?
Our last cook made porridge that
poisoned the American mechanics.
Don't worry. I know
European and Russian...
Sorry, Soviet cuisine.
There will be no problems.
Very well. Go to the kitchen.
Valentina's there.
She'll get you acquainted
with everything.
May I execute your order?
Go. The kitchen's over there.
- Go, Roman Denisovitch.
- Yes, Sir.
Another political prisoner.
It doesn't matter.
We need to prepare for
the early morning departure.
Zip doesn't waste any time.
Look, he's already pulled up.
Lieutenant! Lieutenant!
Wait.
First attempt - unsuccessful.
My God.
Soy - twenty bags.
Buckwheat - whatever's left.
Molasses - twenty-three jars.
Pemikan.
The Allies sent it. We don't know
what it is. We tried making soup,
but no one would eat it.
Do you want to keep looking
or accept our inventory count?
It's honest. Even if we could steal,
there's nowhere to hide.
Can I look some more?
Vegemite.
May I go?
I need to make dinner
for the mechanics.
They're going to work all night.
I'll help you.
Real sago.
How is he?
He's crazy. He's mumbling
something that isn't Russian.
We'll see what the poor
wretch can make.
Have you seen Vasily,
the Eskimo?
He's not an Eskimo, he's Chukcha.
It's dripping oil.
- No problem.
- No problem? Okay.
Where's that Chukcha, Vasily?
Walking around, that loafer.
Any message if I see him?
Tell him that he's...
No, I'll tell him myself.
- Have you seen Vasily?
- Why aren't you sleeping?
Take-off is set for 4am.
To your barracks, quickly.
Vasily, that pilot was looking for you.
What's he want with you?
He asked me
to teach him American.
When am I going to teach him?
I have a lot of work.
- Did you like the fish?
- Delicious. What's your name?
- Romadanovsky.
- Romadanovsky?
By any chance, are you
Roman Denisovitch's father?
I am Roman Denisovitch.
I just look a little older.
Don't you recognize me?
I'm Petrov.
I was a member of
the State Commission.
You were engineering
a fighter plane in 1932.
1931.
Roman Denisovitch,
I can ask the authorities
if you can work with us?
I don't work in aviation anymore.
Please, try the pie.
He's your acquaintance?
We met in the design
