please call Andriusha?
I have a letter from him.
Where is he?
He's with the army, father.
At Smolensk.
Yes, Russia has perished.
They've murdered Russia!
I want to try and sing again.
It's something to do, anyway.
An excellent idea.
You know, Nikolai's been decorated.
Saint George's Cross.
I'm so proud for him.
I know. I sent him the announcement.
Well, I don't want to interrupt you.
Don't you think it's wrong for me
to sing?
Not at all. Why wrong?
Quite the contrary.
But why do you ask?
I don't want to do anything
you might disapprove of.
I trust you in everything.
You mean a lot to me,
you've been such a help.
The same announcement also said
that Bolkonsky's in the army again.
Do you think he'll be able
to forgive me one day?
Or will he always hold it
against me?
What do you think?
I think he has nothing to forgive.
In his place, I would...
You're different.
There's no one who's kinder and
more generous than you are.
I think if you hadn't been there then
to help me, and now too,
I don't know what would have
become of me.
Because...
Oh, yes, I had forgotten.
I must go home.
Why are you going?
Because...
Simply I have business.
No! Why?
Tell me...
Have you heard the great news?
Kutuzov is field marshal!
All differences have been settled.
I'm so glad, delighted!
At last we have a real leader, a man!
- I've heard he's blind, Prince?
- Nonsense. He sees well enough.
He's a very shrewd fellow.
I've known him for years.
He's coming!
With such fine men,
why should we keep retreating?
Good morning, Prince. How do you
do, my dear boy? Come with me.
I've sent for you because I would
like to keep you with me.
I thank Your Highness, but I'm afraid
I'm no more good for staff work.
I'm used to my regiment. I like my
officers and they, I think, like me.
I'd be sorry to leave
the regiment.
If I decline the honor of being in
attendance to you, believe me...
I regret it. You would have been
of use to me, but you're right.
It's not here that we want men.
The regiments wouldn't be what
they are,
if all the would-be counselors
would serve in them like you.
I remember you at Austerlitz.
I remember you,
I remember you with the flag.
Ah, counselors and counselors!
There're always a multitude of
counselors, but men are scarce.
Always in haste,
and more haste, worse speed.
It's easy enough to take fortresses,
but it's hard to win a campaign.
It takes time and patience.
At Rustchuk, Kamensky used his
soldiers, and I, patience and time.
And I took more fortresses
than Kamensky.
And I made the Turks
eat horsemeat.
Give me some time, and the French
shall, too!
Take my word for it,
I'll make them eat horsemeat!
We shall have to give battle,
though, shan't we?
We must,
if everyone wants to.
What's one to do?
Well, goodbye, my boy,
go your own way, God bless you!
I know your path
is the path of honor.
Remember, with all my heart,
I feel for your sorrow,
and that for you, I'm not his
highness, nor prince, nor commander,
but simply a father to you.
As the girls went to the river,
As the girls went to the river,
Bumblebee, bumblebee,
wonder-wonder-wonder me,
That was Lusha, my honeybee!
Bumblebee, bumblebee,
wonder-wonder-wonder me,
That was Lusha, my honeybee!
They a-stripped of their shirts,
They a-stripped of their shirts...
Well, fellow countryman,
are we to put down here,
or taken out to Moscow?
It's not soldiers only, but peasants
too, I have seen today!
Peasants, too, they're hunting up,
they can't pick and choose now.
They want to mass all the people
together.
It's a matter of Moscow, you see.
There's only one thing to do now.
Count, Your Excellency,
how do you come here?
Oh, I wanted to have a look...
- There'll be something to look at.
- It's awful...
These are from yesterday.
The battle went on well into
the night at the Shevardino redoubt.
A lot of casualties. And we've lost
the Shevardino Mound.
I would
