spit on everybody's head.
That's what Mordichai says.
Mordichai did what nobody else did.
But God did not allow it.
Tomorrow, they'll all be executed.
Come then.
I can't.
We need it.
I need it.
There, Miss, with all those instruments,
is the executioner.
He knows his affair very well.
When he starts breaking bones, it's a
curse for the Cossack if he's still alive.
And when he has to cut a head,
he won't drink, or eat, or even sing.
Because, Miss, that could
have him lose his head too.
Death !
God, let all those who are not heretics,
or mean, suffer
like true Christians !
For none of us has uttered a single word !
Good, son...
Good, son, good...
Good, son, good...
Father, where are you ?
Can you hear me ?
I hear you, my son !
I hear you !
Aida !
Aida !
Aida !
This is for you, damned Polacks,
in memory of Ostap.
Help her.
Help her, old fool !
Why don't you do anything ?
She's been suffering for three days !
Sirs, please excuse me.
Let's continue.
Cossacks under the orders
of Ostrenitsiy,
have defeated the royal army
general Nikolai Potosky.
The only way to safeguard
our forces and our honour,
even though the Cossack leaders led
by Taras Bulba do not wish that.
Enough, mister Kosnievsky.
We must try and gather
the forces of all Poland.
Lord, the danger stalking us is terrible.
Because they are not people.
Pray excuse me.
What is it ?
The princess died.
And the child ?
Alive.
It's a boy.
Sir, a small Bulba
detachment near the river !
They are in the Dniester's rocks.
We'll be there in the morning !
Forward, at a gallop !
They're many.
On horse !
To the river !
Aida !
Aida !
Aida !
To the Dniester !
I have to quit tobacco.
I don't want to end up
in the hands of those damned...
...Polacks !
Ah, old age...
Burn !
In front of everyone, burn !
Where to ? Which way ?
Take a left and then,
jump in the water !
Otherwise, you're finished !
Thank you, father !
Shut up !
Farewell, comrades !
Come back here next spring.
And have fun !
What ?
Surprised, Polacks ?
Wait, the time will come when you know
what the Russian orthodox faith means.
Close or far, now,
people feel it !
There will be a time soon
when all will surround...
their king, the Tsar !
And there will be no power in the world
that he won't be able to tame !
Under the light shed by those people,
and their power,
is there anywhere a force
able to break the Russian soul ?
