me. I'd give everything for a moment of glory, for an instant of triumph, for the love of men I don't even know. And what if there were nothing left but to die? Well, if I had to, I should do that as well as anyone. Your Excellency, your orders have been executed. What are they doing? Good morning, Your Excellency! Attention! Why don't you begin, Mikhail Illarionovich? I'm waiting, Sire. Not all the columns have had time to form up. We're not at a parade, Mikhail Illarionovich, where they don't begin until everyone's there. That is exactly why I wait, Sire, because it's not a parade and we're not at Tsaritsyn Field. However, if such is your command, Your Majesty... At five o'clock that afternoon, the battle was irretrievably lost on all fronts. - The enemy's there. - No! Look! That's it, men! Hold it! Where are you going? Are you wounded? My real wound is over there. Stop them! Oh, Bolkonsky, what's going on? Forward, boys! How quiet it is. How peaceful and yet how majestic. It's so different from all the charging and shouting we made. How is it that I'd never noticed this boundless sky before? And how happy I am to have found it at last! Yes, all is vanity and deception, except that boundless sky. There is nothing, nothing, except that. But perhaps even this sky does not exist, perhaps there is nothing at all but stillness and peace. God be praised! That's a beautiful death. End of Part One PART TWO Denissov! We're home! Nicky! Nicky! Candles! Tea! I didn't expect! Nicky, my dear! What about me? Vassily Denissov. Your son's friend. Welcome! I know, Nicky wrote about you. Natasha, Vera, here's Denissov. We are happy to meet you. Oh, how good it is. Splendid! Princess Maria! Andrei? I've just got news. He's not a prisoner, nor is his body found. Kutuzov writes me... he was killed. Father, don't turn away. Let's weep together. The scoundrels! The murderers! They destroy the army, the people. What for? Go and tell Lisa. Father, tell me how it happened. Go on. Killed on the battlefield where the best Russian men and Russian glory were led to their death. Go on, Princess Maria! Go and tell Lisa. I'll be right with you. Marie, let me have your hand. There... Do you feel it? It feels so strange. And you know, Marie, I'm going to love him so much. What's the matter, Marie? Nothing. I just feel sad. Feel sad about Andrei. Have you got any news from him? No. You know it's too early to get any news. But Father is worried, and I'm scared. So, nothing? Nothing. Mitya, ride to our country estate and tell Maxim the gardener to pay his due to the landowner. By Friday I'll need here two hundred pots. Besides, we'll need singers, strawberries and pineapples. Don't worry, Count, now that young Bezukhov is here, we can get everything from his hothouses. Yes, you tell Bezukhov to come too. I'll include him in the list. - Is he here with his wife? - My friend, he is so unhappy. That young Bezukhov is such a heavenly, sublime soul. I'll try to cheer him up. What happened anyway? Dolokhov, Maria Ivanovna's son, has compromised her reputation. Pierre introduced him to society, invited to his St. Petersburg home... Now she came to Moscow and this dare-devil followed her. They say Pierre is absolutely heart-broken. Tell him to come to the club anyway. He will forget about everything. We'll have quite a party! What's the matter with you? Don't you hear it? To the health of our Emperor! I hadn't recognized you. Wouldn't you like to renew old acquaintances? Forget him. He's a fool. To the health of the hero of our last campaign, His Highness Pyotr Ivanovich Bagration! Crowned with laurels and with glory For your famous, heroic deeds, Russia's pride that's great in story, Fate has brought you in our midst! After battle find your peace In your fellow citizens' circle. We have heard many a time Of your
