we'll sleep here.
- You won't be comfortable here.
- It's all right, we'll handle it.
- All right.
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
- May I speak to you for a moment?
- Of course.
- The receptionist said you were wondering
about me. - Yes, I wanted to see you.
- What is it?
- I feel awkward about my refusal.
I understand what an uncomfortable
situation I have put you in.
If you need me, tell me,
I will be glad to help you.
Thank you.
Tell them to shut up.
Tell them to answer my questions curtly.
Only “yes” or “no”. Not a single word more.
Ask them whether
they'll be ready by day 30.
Ask again whether he understood
my question well.
Will they be absolutely ready by day 30,
meaning the day after tomorrow?
All right, thank you, Marie.
I don't need you more.
Is it all?
Yes, it is. The car will take you
to the hotel.
Stop, I'm going out here.
- Do you know what the funeral agent
is doing now? - The funeral agent?
Yes.
The funeral agent is crawling
through barrels now.
- How do you know?
- I do.
Besides, I know that today he is doing
better than 5 days ago.
Why, is he an idiot?
No, you know,
I think he is genius.
The devil himself wouldn't invent a better
way to get into the English Embassy.
The thing is that in this city water supply doesn't
exist in the same form as in the other places.
There are neither pipes nor water-tower here.
Here water flows from the mountains
through special channels that lie
under entire city.
The locals call these channels “ropes”.
So, there are these ropes under
the English Embassy.
The hereditary “ropemakers” maintain them.
A usual person can't get into them
and move there without special training.
So, these two are the very “ropemakers”
from the English Embassy.
- Do you believe in presentiment?
- You know that I believe in chance.
Yes, chance…
It seems to me that the chance
is a part of something bigger
that we are unaware of.
It's like a float
on the water surface,
and all the main things are in
the depth, hidden from us.
- Don't worry, Marie. I won't let you be hurt.
- Thank you.
Andre! Look!
- You were right. He's got the guns.
- Who brought them?
- A stranger came in the cafe with a bag
and left without it. - Where's he now?
Our people were following him.
He's got way.
They warned us to stay at our spots
and not to leave.
Probably they'll come today.
So what? You just need to film today,
to film and to memorize, that's it.
I won't apologize for you being searched
and your equipment inspected.
Get in the car, please.
I suppose that inevitability
of the strict security measures
is understandable
without explanations.
Don't leave the car!
This is the solemn ceremony
of the English King George VI
handing a gift
for the city of Stalingrad.
It was written on the sword's blade:
“To the citizens of Stalingrad, people
with hearts of steel, from King George VI
as a sign of English people's respect”
or something like that.
- Listen, Max, why did you get involved
in this story? – Devil knows.
This rascal Schoerner
dragged me into it.
Is coffee ready?
- Yes, right away.
All three were photographed
after the ceremony.
It happened on November 29 at 15.30.
It's a pity I wasn't there at the time.
- What are you doing? You are crazy!
- Don't be mad at me, Francoise.
You know, I got used to them
very much.
When they died I had a feeling
that I lost my relatives.
Then something happened to my nerves,
I dream of all sorts of nonsense at night.
I know too much about this rascal
Schoerner's past.
- Are you afraid?
- No, I am not.
It's not easy to find me now.
Let them look for me.
No, you are an idiot.
Do you know why I opened
the wrong door then? - Why?
Schoerner told me to worm into your
confidence and find it all out.
Well, go on, go on.
To find out the main thing:
where is your manuscript,
and your address.
Why haven't you done it then?
Why?
Maybe I took a pity on you.
It's not
