No, I have 24 hours' leave
Okay, thank you all very much
I'll visit her grave.
Will you come?
Babushka, I'll never forget you
All that you told me
All that you taught me
I'm getting out, Marie
To the West
How?
In Odessa,
ships come in from the West
I met a Turkish captain
who will take me
He's done it before
What are your chances?
10 to 1? 15 to 1?
If you get caught, you'll be shot
I'll make it
-You'll join me
-Don't do it. The risk is too great
You've changed
Comrade Golovin's
good little wife
I hardly recognise you
Forgive me
I'm just jealous
No, you're right
I need your help
-I need money.
-I'll try
You'll have to bring it to me
I'll be stuck in Odessa
I can't travel either
The Army Choir
will be in Odessa in three months
Ask Boyko to take you
You have it all worked out
You taught me that
Persevere
Freedom at all costs...
...and persevere
Like it?
Yes
You have those in France?
I can't remember
Could you sell something for me?
That's not what we do
It depends. Let's see
Where did you get it?
My grandmother
Keep it
It's a tiny bit of France
I need money
I love you
Catch it
Stop it!
Don't go, Marie, please
I'll only be gone ten days
I haven't left this place
in two years
We'll go to Crimea
just the three of us
Stop it, Alexei. I won't pull out
I know why you're going to Odessa
What are you up to with Sacha?
Are you lovers?
I can prevent you from going
Do that and I leave you
Are you Marie Golovin?
A young man wants to see you
He says he's your cousin
Thank you
The boat is docked
I was scared you wouldn't come
I don't have much time. Let's go
Were you followed?
We brought the money
I can't take you
My contact on the docks
has disappeared
Was he arrested?
I don't know
They're on the alert.
We heard shots last night
Go now
We never met
Wait
Listen!
I've watched ships leaving port
They head out south-west
Here on the coast,
a path leads down to the sea
I can't come in
I can swim out
Out to the buoys
From the coast to the buoys...
...must be 10 miles
It will take me five hours
to swim it, maybe six
No more
You can't do it
It's impossible
No one has ever done that
I can do it
You're crazy. This is madness
If you can swim six hours...
...and I can spot you in the night...
...l'll send a launch to you...
...but I won't wait
And the cash?
All he wants is the money
Don't, it's suicide
I'm begging you
I take the risks I want.
It's my life!
Give him the money
I have to go
Don't run off
I'm doing it for you, for us
So help me
Look at me
Where have you been?
You're not a tourist
Work, Marie Golovin, not holiday
Remember me?
Why did Boyko bring you?
Ask him that
You left your husband and son?
A lover in the Choir?
The colonel perhaps?
I'm sick of your insinuations
I have work to do
Comrade Pirogov
Marie, help me. Where is Marie?
Our man in Kiev is a good cop
Not smart, but methodical
Here's what I think
You came here to see a swimmer...
...called Sacha Vassiliev
He's not a cousin, but your lover
-I'm listening.
-I have nothing to say
When Col. Boyko hears...
Forget Boyko. He can't help you
Let's call the training camp
They'll send us young Vassiliev
You'll talk, you whore!
Where is he?
Vermin! French whore!
You'll talk! Scum! Bitch!
You will talk
I'll kill you!
One month later
No communicating
She's an imperialist spy
I should have
killed her years ago
What's the charge?
You knew Vassiliev?
She seduced him...
...and filled his head
with propaganda
He tried to escape her
but she followed him to Odessa
There, she organised his escape...
...via a CIA-funded Turkish gang
In fact, the kid drowned
She killed him
Rubbish! My wife is innocent
She confessed
Is it true? Did you sign?
They hurt you?
-It's untrue.
-You don't believe me?
What's this then?
Only Vassiliev
with your wife's sister
Why say he was dead?
It would be much better
for all of us
He's in France. He's
