ve settled it.
Miroshnikov will stand in for me. Bye.
What's all this about?
I can't hear you.
The Boeing has backup systems.
Have you gathered them
for a comrades' trial?
- Nope. They are worried
about that Boeing. - What Boeing?
269 passengers!
Children, women...
I got some oranges.
We are celebrating.
The Americans and Koreans are
responsible for the passengers.
- And we are glad to show our might.
- You are really hard to please.
You'd sling mud on Stalin saying he
didn't trust Zorge fearing provocation.
Now we didn't fear provocation and shot
the plane down. You don't like it either.
Why should people pay for it? Must we
be thanked for killing 300 people?
Reagan is right - we are an evil
empire.You should be ashamed to say this.
It's an evil empire for him.
For us it's the Motherland.
Here's one. The worm-son
asks his father:
"Do we worms feel good
living in an apple?" - "Very good, son."
"And in an orange?" -"Just wonderful."
"Why then do we live in muck?"
Vilen, not in front of children.
"Because it's our Homeland, sonny".
They make up such jokes
in a special ClA department.
- Yeah, they come to work and start
making them up. - Exactly what they do.
It was just a stray plane
but all the army was alerted.
In 1945 just one plane
flew over Hiroshima.
The Japs didn't even sound an alarm.
Who wants to bomb us anyway?
You may take it personally: but tell me
why the hell do we have such
a helluva lot of missiles?
- Do the Americans need them?
They all are arming themselves
because of us.
Can you be serious?
I've got an impression
I'm in North Carolina, not in Moscow.
So the Americans're right
and we savages hamper progress?
I wouldn't like to live
in the country where you rule.
They'd show you general human
values, fuck you.
If you are right, why do we
jam Western radio stations -
The Voice of America, BBC,
the German wave, Freedom?
Because they lie shamelessly.
If they lie, expose them but
don't try to decide for me -
what should I listen in,
That's a fine philosophy!
The system is to blame for it all.
- Thank God you're home.
- What is it?
Andre is proclaimed a persona
non-grata. Come, we may find him in yet.
Did you listen in to the Freedom this
morning? They quoted from his article.
Witty, scathing, biting.
He's a real profy. I envy him.
They wouldn't forget such things.
Just deny him accreditation
and send him packing in 24 hours.
- How could he do it? Why?
- He did right. He told the truth.
The truth? What's truth?
Your truth is that we shot down a plan.
Out truth is that it violated our airspace.
Don't you understand
there can be no truth in politics.
Just force and interests.
Oh, why didn't he call me?
He did. You were not home.
Yes, I was... No, I wasn't.
Oh my God, where was l? I was at work.
We had it out with Serge.
I bought a nice torch.
Wait a minute... I had a dream.
I had a dream. I was given a sign.
- I was given a sign but I didn't get it.
- Traffic jam.
Thanks. I'll foot it.
Not everything is lost yet.
- You don't know the way.
- I'll manage.
You should be proud of him.
He called things by their proper names.
What names?
I know just two names.
I was called Sonya,
he was called Andre. - Why was?
- So they envied us.
- Who?
It's the envy of Gods.
Thank God, we've made it.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Neither shame, nor conscience.
Here's the figurant.
You don't have much time.
Andryusha dear, how could you?
Why didn't you ask me? Why?
- Forgive me, Sonya.
- It's death.
I'd have explained it all to you.
- Please.
Please, don't.
The Soviet TV reader
has reported
continuous violations of Soviet
space by US aircraft.
The Voice of America says
the bodies of
some of the Boeing passengers
had been found.
But he was doggedly pursuing
his course. I had an order.
A clearcut order.
- Poor boy.
Do you know how many men he sent to
kingdom come just pushing the button?
He's a soldier. He must obey
