Serko
|
00:00:40 |
So I went berserk for we were about to die. |
00:00:43 |
I, Emile Fragonard, |
00:00:45 |
the most famous illusionist in Paris, |
00:00:47 |
who've just dazzled the Emperor of China, |
00:00:50 |
I tell them to go to hell. |
00:00:52 |
Our boatmen invoke Heaven |
00:00:55 |
They begged me to pay them first. |
00:00:57 |
"You'll get paid when we get there!" |
00:00:59 |
The sea is choppy, the wind is gusty, |
00:01:02 |
we're going to drown. |
00:01:04 |
So I dive into the water and with my arms, |
00:01:07 |
I pull the raft to the opposite ahore. |
00:01:10 |
I set foot in Russia and I'm soaked. |
00:01:13 |
I've lost my costume, |
00:01:16 |
Paris' famous tailor. |
00:01:19 |
We didn't know then, |
00:01:22 |
that upon landing in beautifuI Amuria, |
00:01:24 |
I could hear at the same time |
00:01:27 |
Young Muktan is getting married. |
00:01:40 |
Tradition dictates that |
00:01:42 |
he offer his betrothed a bear's fur. |
00:01:45 |
But the bear, as you can imagine, |
00:01:50 |
So the shaman invokes the Spirits |
00:02:01 |
You can't hunt without the Tsar's Cossacks, |
00:02:04 |
what with the fax on fur. |
00:02:06 |
So Lt Pechkov and his sons join |
00:02:10 |
The younger one is a nice fellow. |
00:02:12 |
I'll be meeting him very far from here, |
00:03:06 |
Oh Lord! I beg you Lord! |
00:03:10 |
I know that I am not alone on earth. |
00:03:14 |
That you have other things to do. |
00:03:18 |
But can you spare some time for me? |
00:03:20 |
I beg you! |
00:03:48 |
I beg you Lord! |
00:04:06 |
What happened? |
00:04:10 |
He got scared, didn't he? |
00:04:14 |
What the hell has that idiot done? |
00:04:18 |
Where the hell's that yellow-belly? |
00:04:27 |
What are you laughing at? |
00:04:32 |
Let this coward stay here! Let's go! |
00:04:36 |
We'll get that goddamn animaI! |
00:04:38 |
And no later than tomorrow! |
00:04:41 |
And, Oh, will I enjoy eating his balls! |
00:04:43 |
Move on! |
00:05:29 |
The father won't take his cowardly |
00:05:32 |
"Let him chop wood?" |
00:05:41 |
The yellow-belly's name is Dimitri, |
00:05:43 |
and his fate will soon be changed |
00:05:45 |
by a chain of inevtable events. |
00:05:51 |
Which proves that destiny |
00:05:54 |
Where's that scumbag, Nikolai Pechkov? |
00:05:56 |
The lieutenant on a mission, |
00:05:58 |
What mission? Don't make me laugh. |
00:06:01 |
We saw a bear threatening some men. |
00:06:03 |
It's very dangerour |
00:06:05 |
I'd like to know how much |
00:06:06 |
that shyster gets for his furs. |
00:06:08 |
Enough to fill his mouth |
00:06:10 |
My husband in an honest man. |
00:06:12 |
He enforces the laws of the Tsar. |
00:06:14 |
The tax on furs is a great burden |
00:06:16 |
He is an honourable man. |
00:06:19 |
Enough with the bull! |
00:06:21 |
These men have come from the city |
00:06:24 |
I need your husband |
00:06:27 |
Go find him, and be quick about it! |
00:06:28 |
He won't be back before nightfall! |
00:06:30 |
My Dimitri will take your friends. |
00:06:32 |
He speaks the language. |
00:06:34 |
He'll help you handle your transaction. |
00:06:38 |
I'll take you there. |
00:07:09 |
What are they up to? |
00:07:13 |
Stay out to it! |
00:07:35 |
His ImperiaI Majesty wishes, |
00:07:37 |
to build a railway |
00:07:39 |
from one end to the other. |
00:07:40 |
A glorious challenge whose completion |
00:07:42 |
will add to the magnificenec of our Empire |
00:07:44 |
and to the happiness of each one of us. |
00:07:46 |
These gentlemen can vouch for me. |
00:07:49 |
The Tsar has entrusted us |
00:07:52 |
of feeding the thousands of worders, |
00:07:55 |
who will be working on the building site. |
00:07:58 |
We will establish travelling kitchens, |
00:07:59 |
that will move along with the workers. |
00:08:01 |
Our first plan indicates that we'll need |
00:08:05 |
Hence the order from on high to use, |
00:08:07 |
your little, pretty much good for nothing, |
00:08:11 |
Excuse me, Mister Bouvarine, |
00:08:14 |
but you know better than anyone |
00:08:16 |
that our Tsar gave them the privilege |
00:08:17 |
of breeding horses for riding. |
00:08:18 |
We are all the Tsar's subjects! |
00:08:20 |
And when His Majesty |
00:08:22 |
it's always meant as an order! |
00:08:24 |
How much do we offer for the horses? |
00:08:27 |
Three sacks of flour for the herd. |
00:08:37 |
He says their horses are not for sale. |
00:08:44 |
Three sacks of flour is our finaI offer! |
00:08:50 |
No need to translate! We understood. |
00:08:51 |
Bunch of fools! |
00:09:07 |
Stop! This is enough! |
00:09:27 |
Hey, you what're you doing? |
00:09:29 |
Leave our horses alone! |
00:10:14 |
"Why kill our horses?", |
00:10:19 |
Yes, why? |
00:10:21 |
To scare these poor people out of rebelling. |
00:10:36 |
The sky suddenly collapses |
00:10:41 |
as if in empathy with the unforunate Evenks. |
00:11:41 |
Murderers! Murderers! |
00:11:43 |
Muktan's killers will be tried and punished. |
00:11:46 |
My father promises you! |
00:11:48 |
Your father has not yet spoken! |
00:11:52 |
I understand your pain, Isingu, |
00:11:54 |
But these men are not from around here, |
00:11:58 |
Those men came here like dermons, |
00:12:02 |
Be quiet! |
00:12:03 |
For as long as his killer's |
00:12:05 |
my son's spirit will never be in peace. |
00:12:08 |
Every night, he will return |
00:12:11 |
and his spirit will never rest. |
00:12:13 |
It's up to me to avenge his death, |
00:12:15 |
but I can only do so according |
00:12:18 |
You might speak our language, |
00:12:20 |
but your heart belongs to those sevils. |
00:12:24 |
So stay with those devils, you three! |
00:12:38 |
His assassins will be tried, |
00:12:42 |
Father, I gave my wife my word, |
00:12:44 |
Well, you shouldn't have. |
00:12:45 |
The only alliegiance that counts |
00:12:49 |
Muktan is also my wife's brother. |
00:12:50 |
When I married her, |
00:12:52 |
Let me give some good advice. |
00:12:54 |
There is only one law, |
00:12:58 |
The only law that counts |
00:13:01 |
And the fittest is the high-ranked fellow, |
00:13:03 |
who decided to requisitiong these horses |
00:13:08 |
Without their horses, |
00:13:11 |
Remember that they signed |
00:13:15 |
And that's why we Cossacks |
00:13:18 |
Think the Tsar's nothing better to do? |
00:13:19 |
And how would you get there? |
00:13:20 |
Saint Petersburg is over 6,000 miles away! |
00:13:22 |
Do you mean to ride |
00:13:26 |
If it's the only way to be heard. |
00:13:29 |
You idiot! |
00:13:31 |
Your wife is carrying your second son. |
00:13:33 |
And you want to ride off to certain death? |
00:13:43 |
You look more like your father |
00:13:52 |
How old were you when I was born? |
00:13:55 |
17. |
00:14:00 |
Although I'm 18 my father still despises me. |
00:14:14 |
Blagoveschensk. |
00:14:16 |
BaikaI. Irkutsk. |
00:14:20 |
Tomsk. Omsk. |
00:14:24 |
Perm. |
00:14:26 |
Moscow. |
00:14:28 |
Saint-Petersburg. |
00:14:32 |
It's almost straight on. |
00:14:49 |
As Dimitri's horse is a nag unable |
00:14:54 |
Dimitri saddles Muktan's horse at dawn. |
00:14:57 |
Luckily, the horse would love to help |
00:15:04 |
So goes fate in a fortunate |
00:15:12 |
Keep still! Look how beautifuI it is! |
00:15:24 |
Let's go this way. |
00:15:59 |
There's a hare. Go right ahead! |
00:16:14 |
Stop! |
00:16:22 |
You horse, |
00:16:27 |
will never know how good this is. |
00:16:30 |
Look, Muktan would call you "my horse. " |
00:16:34 |
What kind of a name is that? |
00:16:36 |
It's like calling your dog, "dog. " |
00:16:46 |
You've got such a beautifuI grey coat, |
00:16:49 |
that I'm going to call you "Grey Horse. " |
00:16:52 |
"Serko. " |
00:17:08 |
How rude of you! |
00:17:11 |
Don't you like your name. Serko? |
00:17:28 |
You see. Serko, the onlly difference |
00:17:33 |
is that all the creatures born on |
00:17:40 |
but man is the only one to look |
00:17:45 |
and wonder at the moon and the stars. |
00:17:49 |
You're right, we men shouid |
00:18:29 |
What does he want from us? |
00:18:31 |
We haven't done anything wrong, |
00:18:33 |
Haven't come to bother the locals. |
00:18:35 |
We're good guys! We're not bad guys. |
00:18:36 |
We don't want to kill or rob anyone! |
00:19:02 |
Serko, get a hold of yourself |
00:19:05 |
Fear is for little creatures |
00:19:09 |
or a Cossack like me! |
00:19:12 |
Move on! |
00:19:14 |
Go right ahead! |
00:21:54 |
Who are you? |
00:21:56 |
A traveller. |
00:22:00 |
What're you doing here? |
00:22:03 |
I mean you no harm, |
00:22:06 |
Believe me, Iswear to you. |
00:22:07 |
On all of the Saints If Hoty Russia! |
00:22:09 |
Then why are you aiming |
00:22:17 |
My horse, he's fallen. |
00:22:19 |
Will you help me? |
00:22:27 |
No snowflake, |
00:22:29 |
Looks like we came at just the right time! |
00:22:38 |
You sure are nalve, you trust men too much. |
00:22:41 |
How do you know, |
00:22:45 |
You know that we don't like |
00:22:51 |
Get up, get up, Serko. Hear me? |
00:22:56 |
Get up! Get up! |
00:22:58 |
Get up! Serko. |
00:23:03 |
Get up! |
00:23:05 |
Serko. |
00:23:06 |
Well done! Go ahead, get up! Well done! |
00:23:14 |
I'll get you out of here. |
00:23:21 |
You fell, sweetie pie. |
00:23:27 |
Thank you, old Tunguz. |
00:23:31 |
You've been helpfuI. |
00:23:32 |
This is for you. It's made of silver. |
00:23:38 |
It's a talisman. |
00:23:40 |
It will keep eviI spirits a way. |
00:23:42 |
Don't thank me, I was glad I could help. |
00:25:00 |
How can I tell of the winds, |
00:25:02 |
of the extreme cold making |
00:25:06 |
By telling you that it's such a cold, |
00:25:08 |
that you become impervious, |
00:25:10 |
to the insidious death slowly |
00:25:13 |
Inexorably. |
00:25:17 |
But if on the next day, as if by magic, |
00:25:19 |
life has overcome death, |
00:26:03 |
Prince Mangi, |
00:26:08 |
You fiy away on your horse, |
00:26:13 |
Everyone admired you. |
00:26:16 |
who, on seeing you always together, |
00:26:19 |
Why are you always on your horse |
00:26:24 |
Can it be that you love |
00:26:30 |
Who are you? |
00:26:31 |
Semzhid. My name is Semzhid. |
00:26:35 |
Stay still. |
00:26:39 |
The bearI It's right there! |
00:26:43 |
You're a great hunter! |
00:26:47 |
You've been very brave, |
00:27:00 |
Go back to sleep. |
00:28:16 |
This too? I'll do it. |
00:28:44 |
This is for you. |
00:28:47 |
You're like my motherI, |
00:28:56 |
Cossack, I see you're getting better. |
00:29:01 |
I'm glad, You are at home here. |
00:29:04 |
Is my daughter taking good care of you? |
00:29:07 |
Yes, Thanks to her, I feeI alive again. |
00:29:10 |
My thanks to you all. |
00:29:13 |
You are a great and brave hunter. |
00:29:16 |
You confronted and killed |
00:29:19 |
You've earned our respect, Cossack! |
00:29:23 |
How can I thank you? |
00:29:24 |
By being my guest for as long |
00:29:27 |
Most honourable host, I'm on a mission. |
00:29:30 |
I'm in a hurry, I must leave, |
00:29:35 |
of the terrible fate tgat's befallen |
00:29:37 |
Cossack, You can't leave just like that! |
00:29:40 |
You will offend the whole tribe, |
00:29:44 |
But I have to leave... |
00:30:12 |
Cossack, I'll sing so that your horse takes |
00:30:16 |
You horse is the most beautifuI of all, |
00:30:19 |
I've never seen one so beautifuI before, |
00:30:40 |
He said it right... |
00:30:43 |
Your horse is the gentiest, |
00:31:02 |
He sheds tears, |
00:31:05 |
when you're sad... |
00:31:09 |
He is the gentlest no doubt... |
00:31:54 |
He's so gracefuI, |
00:31:57 |
that he flies over mountains, |
00:32:00 |
and gallops away to the clouds, |
00:32:03 |
and takes you where |
00:32:18 |
His horse is the most beautifuI of all, |
00:32:21 |
I've never seen one so beautifuI before, |
00:32:24 |
in heaven or on earth, |
00:32:27 |
in the stars or on the sun. |
00:32:29 |
He said it right... |
00:32:44 |
Sorry... |
00:32:46 |
But my stomach would've torn |
00:32:50 |
61 days of travelling without |
00:32:53 |
Let anyone who has never been hungry |
00:33:00 |
61 days I've been riding, without a meaI. |
00:33:04 |
So I swallowed whatever I could find. |
00:33:06 |
Grass, like my horse. |
00:33:10 |
Rats sometimes! |
00:33:12 |
And even my horse's dung once. |
00:33:17 |
I'll find the Tsar. |
00:33:18 |
Even if he's at the other end of the earth, |
00:33:20 |
Or on the other side of the moon. |
00:33:23 |
And what will you say to your Tsar? |
00:33:26 |
I'll tell him that those men, |
00:33:28 |
can't exterminate our fine littie horses. |
00:33:31 |
If they disappear from our land, |
00:33:34 |
Without our Amursky horses, |
00:33:37 |
The Cossacks must obey the Tsar. |
00:33:39 |
I swore to the icons like my father, |
00:33:42 |
but the Tsar must obey God, |
00:33:44 |
and God created these horses, |
00:33:48 |
The Tsar must hear me, I'II let him know. |
00:33:58 |
I'll find the Tsar even, |
00:34:18 |
Why are you always riding your horse |
00:34:23 |
Why do you love your horse more than me? |
00:34:27 |
One night, the betrothed avenged |
00:34:31 |
stabbing it with a knife. |
00:34:34 |
Mangi you spent your life |
00:34:38 |
running your hans through hismane. |
00:34:41 |
Soflly, slowly, languidiy... |
00:34:43 |
over and over till the hairs |
00:34:46 |
We'll need a lot of strength, Serko... |
00:34:52 |
See that, that's Venus, or Jupiter, |
00:34:56 |
but I do know it's over there |
00:35:52 |
Don't be frightened... |
00:35:56 |
But I'm not afraid. |
00:35:58 |
I am here to serve you... |
00:36:01 |
Would you like anything before sleeping? |
00:36:11 |
I just need some sleep. |
00:36:17 |
A good night's sleep to be in shape |
00:36:24 |
Good night, Semzhid... |
00:36:31 |
What are you up to? |
00:36:32 |
Just give in, big bear! |
00:39:30 |
Eat Serko, eat. |
00:39:44 |
That's all we've got loft. |
00:39:52 |
There you go, eat something. |
00:40:47 |
Who are you? |
00:40:52 |
Can you hear me? |
00:40:55 |
Where are you from? |
00:40:59 |
What have you done to end up like this? |
00:41:03 |
Can you hear me? |
00:41:04 |
We're nobody anymore, Nobody... |
00:41:06 |
Only beasts to the slaughter! |
00:41:10 |
Get away from us, we're bas luck! |
00:41:13 |
I'm going to see the Tsar, |
00:41:16 |
You can't treat men like this! |
00:41:19 |
The Tasr will know about it! I swear! |
00:41:22 |
We don't mean anything to him anymore, |
00:41:28 |
Not even to Him, up there! |
00:41:31 |
I can't understand a word you're saying! |
00:41:32 |
You idiot! The Tsar! |
00:41:34 |
And God above, who has forsaken us! |
00:41:37 |
God still exists for me, |
00:41:41 |
Shut up! You mangy mutts. |
00:41:45 |
Hey Cossack, are you the one |
00:41:48 |
Where did you get that uniform? |
00:41:51 |
Come over here a minute, |
00:41:54 |
I'm on a mission, |
00:41:56 |
I am Cossack Dimitri Nidolayevich. |
00:41:58 |
Yourgest son of Sotnik Nikolai Pechkov. |
00:42:00 |
I'm under ColoneI Korsakoff, |
00:42:05 |
I'm on my way to see th Tsar. |
00:42:06 |
Your mission order! |
00:42:10 |
By ImperiaI order, Officer. |
00:42:12 |
Get the hell out of here, |
00:42:19 |
Send a message to my fater that I'm alive, |
00:42:29 |
Hey, you, What are you doing? |
00:42:33 |
That's my horse! |
00:42:34 |
Yeah, well keep your midget horse. |
00:42:36 |
Is he an albino or what? |
00:42:41 |
And you just let him get away wiht it. |
00:43:13 |
Peince, my son is a simpleton. |
00:43:15 |
He has no idea what he's doing! |
00:43:17 |
I'm just glad he's still alive, |
00:43:19 |
as you've told my he |
00:43:22 |
Sotnik Nikolai Pechkov. |
00:43:25 |
A Cossack who requests |
00:43:29 |
without asking his Govenor's permission, |
00:43:34 |
Better be sincere than strong, |
00:43:35 |
better be honest than brutaI, |
00:43:39 |
These were your principies. |
00:43:41 |
Prince, that my sons swore |
00:43:42 |
I know, I know, Your son made it to BaikaI. |
00:43:50 |
He could have gone missing |
00:43:51 |
No one would have mourned his passing. |
00:43:54 |
Yes, mister Bouvarine! |
00:43:56 |
His mother, She would have died of grief, |
00:44:00 |
Prince, how can that yellow belly |
00:44:05 |
If the fooI goes about saying |
00:44:09 |
doesn't do what he's supposed to do |
00:44:13 |
he'll be advancing even faster! |
00:44:14 |
I swear upon my wife, |
00:44:15 |
my son Boris and my future grandchildren, |
00:44:21 |
My son's pure-hearted. |
00:44:23 |
Pray God steps him and this |
00:44:27 |
He has no traveI documents and our Prince |
00:44:34 |
I'll have to jusge him accordingly. |
00:44:39 |
Don't do that Prince. He a simple souI. |
00:44:41 |
I beg you. |
00:44:42 |
He put it in his head |
00:44:44 |
If he keeps acting like an idilt, your familt |
00:44:50 |
Prince, how can my son, |
00:44:51 |
who never left our vitlage, |
00:44:56 |
He'll soon realise he's been foolish |
00:45:03 |
Mister... |
00:45:08 |
Vladimir Sergueivitch Bouvarine. |
00:45:14 |
Mister Vladimir Sergueivitch Bouvarine, |
00:45:23 |
Yes. Under your orders, Prince. |
00:45:31 |
You're damn right, nothing but a jerk. |
00:45:35 |
And one who will soon make you rich, Prince. |
00:45:47 |
Today we'll take 1,000 steps. |
00:00:05 |
Serko, I'm tired, Totally worn out. |
00:01:31 |
I'll get some rest, ok? |
00:02:37 |
Shh! Smelied anything again? |
00:04:36 |
Shit! |
00:05:53 |
Sorry, my friend but you'll |
00:05:56 |
What do you know? |
00:06:00 |
Who are you? |
00:06:03 |
Sorry, I didn't think that. |
00:06:06 |
I'm no thief, mister Chinaman? |
00:06:08 |
I swear, I swear on my horse! |
00:06:11 |
This is good liquor, |
00:06:15 |
That doesn't tell me who you are. |
00:06:19 |
You speak Russian? |
00:06:22 |
I'm Sotnik Rechkov's youngest son. |
00:06:26 |
My family lives on the banks of the Amur. |
00:06:28 |
I must speak to the Tsar. |
00:06:30 |
Our little horses are in danger. |
00:06:34 |
I must avenge Muktan's death! |
00:06:35 |
I'll see the Tasr, I swear! |
00:06:37 |
I can see that you wouldn't hurt a fly. |
00:06:41 |
I'm like my father, a humble yet |
00:06:45 |
I'd rather be sincere than, |
00:06:49 |
Then you con't leave me like this. |
00:06:53 |
Wolves have begun to eat my feet. |
00:06:55 |
They'll come kill me a second time! |
00:06:57 |
So you're not dead? |
00:06:59 |
Alive, dead. |
00:07:04 |
What's the difference? |
00:07:06 |
But I won't join my wife in the other |
00:07:11 |
What can I do for you, old Chinaman? |
00:07:49 |
You're nuts! It's cold as hell out there! |
00:07:53 |
You can't dig a hole in the ground |
00:08:02 |
I can't bury you, and the lake is frozen. |
00:09:30 |
Good people of Irkutsk, |
00:09:31 |
noble gentlemen, beautifuI women, |
00:09:36 |
for tonight you will at last put |
00:09:40 |
the great, the very great. |
00:09:43 |
The immense Fragonard of Paris, |
00:09:45 |
the Tsar of the Grands Boulevards, |
00:09:53 |
Two years ago, I was in America. |
00:09:55 |
New York, Chicago, San Francisco. |
00:09:58 |
The great and the small, |
00:10:00 |
were captivated by my mastery |
00:10:02 |
Even the Ottawas from America'a |
00:10:07 |
Last year I was in China, |
00:10:09 |
prisoner of the adoration |
00:10:12 |
and of the Mandarin women. |
00:10:15 |
As pretty as pictrues |
00:10:19 |
In a single bound I crose the sea, |
00:10:21 |
and find myself in the land |
00:10:24 |
Fapan, the Fuji Yama, |
00:10:28 |
Tokyo, where the Emperor commands |
00:10:32 |
A celebration, what am I saying? |
00:10:34 |
A month of delights whose climax |
00:10:39 |
I gave for the Son of Heaven. |
00:10:48 |
But let us gloss over my triumphs, |
00:10:52 |
since you're chomping at the bit. |
00:10:55 |
So here I am, packing up my crew, |
00:10:59 |
bidding farewell to Fuji Yama, |
00:11:02 |
and flying off to EternaI Russia! |
00:11:06 |
Rivers, mountains, the steppe, |
00:11:08 |
nothing can stop us, Nothing? |
00:11:14 |
Nothing! |
00:11:23 |
Move on! |
00:11:36 |
You damn animaI! |
00:11:38 |
Can't you walk straight? |
00:11:42 |
You only think about eating! |
00:11:45 |
I'm hungry too! I'm tired too! |
00:11:47 |
I want meat! Or else I'll die! |
00:11:53 |
You get me? |
00:12:23 |
Sorry, Serko, Sorry, old friend. |
00:12:38 |
I'm so tired, I'm hungry. |
00:12:44 |
I'm hungry. |
00:12:49 |
I'm so tired. |
00:12:53 |
I dont' know where to go. |
00:12:58 |
I can't take it anymore! |
00:15:16 |
Shh! What is it now? |
00:15:25 |
How great it is. |
00:15:44 |
Let's go. |
00:15:51 |
How hard can it be to cateh a nag? |
00:15:55 |
- How hard can it be to cateh a nag? |
00:16:00 |
it's not the first one we've seen! |
00:16:04 |
- Let's go. |
00:16:15 |
- Come on, Look! |
00:16:18 |
You damn animaI! |
00:16:20 |

00:16:24 |

00:16:26 |
You're just a horse. |
00:16:28 |
Go ahead. |
00:16:30 |
Move on! |
00:16:33 |
Look at that! |
00:16:35 |

00:16:50 |
Hey! Come on! |
00:16:53 |
- Come on girls! Sing, shout, bark! |
00:16:57 |
A single Cossack would've been enough |
00:17:01 |
Sing Song. |
00:17:02 |
Shit up! |
00:17:03 |
Come on! |
00:17:12 |

00:19:13 |
The Tsar will appreciate. |
00:19:14 |
Make it quick, please! |
00:19:17 |
The crowd is expecting us in Omsk. |
00:19:25 |
I'm an old man who knows a great deaI, |
00:19:31 |
but if he insists on leaving tomorrow, |
00:19:36 |
He needs treatment as soon as possible. |
00:19:54 |
If your friend takes no medicine, |
00:19:58 |
he'll be stiff as a corpse in on time. |
00:20:05 |
I'm telling you this boy is in danger! |
00:20:09 |
He isn't dead yet! |
00:20:11 |
This Cossack won't die! |
00:20:17 |
Nobody wants him to live in this pad? |
00:20:21 |
Fragonard, give us some money. |
00:20:25 |
We'll pay it back a hundred fold! |
00:20:27 |

00:20:44 |
Nobody wants him to live in this pad? |
00:20:50 |
Fragonard, give us some money. |
00:20:53 |
We'll pay it back a hundred fold! |
00:20:56 |
For each rouble, |
00:20:59 |
It's not the hunders fold, |
00:21:02 |
It's giving you the money at all. |
00:21:15 |

00:21:22 |

00:21:42 |
I'm hungry. |
00:21:44 |
I dont' know where to go. |
00:21:47 |
I can't take it anymore! |
00:21:49 |
Shh! What is it now? |
00:21:50 |
How great it is. |
00:22:01 |
Let's go. Let's go. |
00:22:11 |
Come on! |
00:22:14 |
Look at that! |
00:22:16 |
Come on! |
00:22:19 |
We too are weak, |
00:22:21 |
Young ladies and gentiemen, |
00:22:24 |
I will forgo the list of my triumphs, |
00:22:27 |
as I see you're chomping at the bit. |
00:22:32 |
so here I am, packing up my crew, |
00:22:35 |
bidding farewell to Fuji Yama, |
00:22:39 |
bidding farewell to Fuji Yama |
00:22:42 |
people of beautifuI and eternaI Russua. |
00:22:45 |
Mountains, rivers, the steppe, |
00:22:48 |
nothing can stop up, |
00:22:57 |
not ever the Amur, the river that is! |
00:23:01 |
Nothing! Except for a damn crevasse. |
00:23:03 |
And no one came to rescus us. |
00:23:10 |
Here we are. |
00:23:13 |
Instead of Jeaus Dumitri Nicolat Pechkov, |
00:23:16 |
the bravest, most handsome Cossack |
00:23:25 |
the young man has been relentlessly riding |
00:23:28 |
from the distant shores of the Amur. |
00:23:30 |
The Tsat, indeed! |
00:23:32 |
He wants to beg him to dispenese |
00:23:35 |
Yes that's it, justice. |
00:23:37 |
What's she saying? Hurry, keep track! |
00:23:40 |
We're telling Dimitris story. |
00:23:43 |
She's talking about the horse slaughter. |
00:23:46 |
These horses are not for sale, |
00:23:48 |
Since you won't seeI them, |
00:23:53 |
The gang leader loads his rifle, |
00:23:57 |
Fifty yards away one horse collapese, |
00:24:02 |
then another. |
00:24:07 |
"Still not for asle"? |
00:24:11 |
"Never, Niet" |
00:24:13 |
The man angrith kills two more horses. |
00:24:18 |
"Well?" "Rater die!" |
00:24:21 |
Suddenly Mutkian, the Evenk friend, |
00:24:25 |
whom Dimitri regards as a brothre, |
00:24:28 |
appears on his hores. |
00:24:31 |
The man shoots again. |
00:24:33 |
Mutkan is hit and collapses. |
00:24:41 |
"Never again" says Dimitri. |
00:24:45 |
"Never again. " |
00:25:08 |
Where are you from? |
00:25:10 |
From over there! |
00:25:12 |
And you? |
00:25:13 |
From over there! |
00:25:15 |
Where are you going? |
00:25:17 |
That way. |
00:25:18 |
And you? |
00:25:22 |
That way. |
00:25:30 |
And you? |
00:25:39 |
Serko! |
00:25:41 |
Today we'll work more miracles! |
00:25:47 |
We'll ride through |
00:25:50 |
I don't know how long it'll take us, |
00:25:54 |
but we'll ride through it all the same! |
00:26:00 |
You'll have the easy task since |
00:26:02 |
Even if it seems hard, I know you can do it. |
00:26:08 |
You're a horse and you're good |
00:26:09 |
Now it's all about steadiness. |
00:26:12 |
And as for steadiness you're an ace! |
00:26:17 |
Hey little champ, if I keep induiging you, |
00:26:23 |
You haven't got wings yet! |
00:26:27 |
Good boy. |
00:26:39 |
Stop it, Serko, stop it! |
00:26:40 |
Stop it! |
00:26:43 |
Stop it! |
00:26:46 |
Shit! |
00:26:58 |
Sorry! |
00:27:00 |
Sorry Serdo, I'm not happy either. |
00:27:16 |
Fuck! |
00:27:30 |
Then facing the beast, |
00:27:33 |
trembling with fear, |
00:27:35 |
the young Cossack has no choice: |
00:27:38 |
kill or be killed. |
00:27:41 |
He closes his eyes, |
00:27:44 |
asks God's mercy, |
00:27:47 |
and with his knife blade, |
00:27:52 |
Wounded and howling with rage, |
00:27:58 |
when Serko sees his master about |
00:28:05 |
he makes for the bear, |
00:28:09 |
and kicks his ass! |
00:28:23 |
Girls! |
00:28:30 |
Girls, there's money to be had! |
00:28:35 |
I've told of chinese torture |
00:28:39 |
but I'be nevertold of a nice fellow's |
00:28:44 |
I'm not only a talented shadow puppeteer, |
00:28:49 |
Crowds ask for more: |
00:28:50 |
I'm a rich man. |
00:28:52 |
Now where's my little fellow? |
00:28:54 |
I have no idea. |
00:28:56 |
Hey, Deserter? |
00:28:58 |
You a deserter? |
00:29:00 |
Hey, you hear me? |
00:29:02 |
Konw of a hoteI or an inn, |
00:29:04 |
My horse and I are dead tired, |
00:29:07 |
On your right, Cossack. |
00:29:09 |
You won't regret it! |
00:29:11 |
Thank you! |
00:29:12 |
On your right, Cossack. |
00:29:16 |
You won't regret it! |
00:29:19 |
What race is your dog? Hey, wait! |
00:29:21 |
But our admirers want to know more. |
00:29:23 |
The whole, uncensored story. |
00:29:27 |
But I need to find out about |
00:29:30 |
To do so, I need to find my dear |
00:29:34 |
But where is he? What's he up to? |
00:29:44 |
Did you come a long way, Sir? |
00:29:46 |
All the way from the Amur! |
00:29:48 |
How far are you going? |
00:29:51 |
On my way to pay my respects to the Tsar. |
00:30:10 |
You're a good horse, Serko. |
00:30:16 |
Enjoy, you've deserved it! |
00:30:31 |
I'll sleep right here. |
00:30:32 |
Oh no Sir! |
00:30:33 |
A gentle man about to visit the Tsar |
00:31:17 |
Reassure me, Bouvarine! |
00:31:25 |
Hey, Hey! |
00:31:30 |
NO! |
00:31:33 |

00:31:41 |

00:31:45 |
He's followed by a Frenchman, |
00:31:47 |
who is telling his story to everyone. |
00:31:55 |
Stop them! |
00:31:59 |
Whe must stop them, overpower them! |
00:32:03 |
Have them arrested! |
00:32:06 |
Have him shot! |
00:32:11 |
Have them arrested! Have him shot! |
00:32:24 |

00:32:44 |

00:32:47 |
He's worse than a kourma! |
00:32:49 |
Korma? |
00:32:50 |
What is it? |
00:32:51 |
It's a skunk thaat stinks even more. |
00:32:54 |
But money has no smell. |
00:32:56 |
or do you wnat me to handle it? |
00:33:03 |
Tell him to consider our expenses. |
00:33:04 |
He stinks. |
00:33:06 |
Tell him to consider our expenses. |
00:33:12 |
6,000. |
00:33:14 |

00:33:17 |

Let's leave. |
00:33:28 |
Let's leave the stinking Cossack with him. |
00:33:31 |
You'll be remembered as the man, |
00:33:33 |
that left to rot in prison |
00:33:37 |
2,500! |
00:33:41 |

00:33:44 |
Well then my dear, if you give me |
00:33:49 |

00:33:56 |
My show was getting more valuable |
00:34:00 |
They come in droved to listen |
00:34:04 |
of Serko and Dimitri's adventures. |
00:34:07 |
Well, a stinking hero is no hero. |
00:34:10 |
So I offer him a bath. |
00:34:12 |
I follow him because I watch, |
00:34:13 |
and I protect my small |
00:34:18 |
But as with any thriving investment, |
00:34:20 |
Some worry it may thrive at their expense. |
00:34:23 |
These people are no other, |
00:34:26 |
than Bouvarine, Muktan't murderer. |
00:34:34 |
Dimitri Nikolayevich Pechkov! |
00:34:37 |
Dimitri Nikolayevich Pechkov! |
00:34:40 |
Dimitri Nikolayevich Pechkov! |
00:34:48 |
Dimitri. |
00:34:54 |
Murder! |
00:34:55 |
Help! |
00:35:15 |
Thank you, my friends! |
00:35:18 |
But I'll never be able to repay you! |
00:35:21 |
Buy why repay me? |
00:35:23 |
I bet you that those people from |
00:35:27 |
To one guy, and to another one, |
00:35:30 |
And there'll soon be thousands. |
00:35:31 |
Million begging to know what happens next. |
00:35:34 |
Take my word for it. |
00:35:37 |
So, enjoy your meaI, Cossack, |
00:35:44 |
I'd like to propose a toast to Holy Russia. |
00:35:47 |
Look! There's our hero! Domitri Pechkov! |
00:35:51 |
Thank you three for getting me out of jaiI. |
00:35:56 |
Thank you for rescuing me from bandits. |
00:36:00 |
Providence, providence! |
00:36:03 |
And thank Serko of course |
00:36:06 |
Thank you. |
00:36:16 |
You have to be something to stap |
00:36:19 |
Well done, Cossack! |
00:36:33 |
Why do you cheat? |
00:36:35 |
You ride your house. |
00:36:40 |
But that's Iying! |
00:36:43 |
Well, you'll be the only one |
00:37:10 |
He's dying! |
00:37:12 |
What did you give him? |
00:37:15 |
Nothing. The usuaI. |
00:37:16 |
He's been poisoned! |
00:37:17 |
Fot any paraffin? |
00:37:19 |
No. |
00:37:20 |
Go ask someone! |
00:37:23 |
We must pump his stomach! |
00:37:27 |
Don't worry, Serko, everything will be fine. |
00:37:34 |
Hold on, just a little more. |
00:37:50 |
Dimitri could not. |
00:37:56 |
Dimitri could not hold back his tears. |
00:38:03 |
On may 3rd, 1890, |
00:38:05 |
a silent crowd attended |
00:38:09 |
the strongest horse ever |
00:38:14 |
Remember this day, ladies and gentlemen, |
00:38:17 |
the day when Serko was blessed |
00:38:21 |
in the church of Saint BasiI the Blessed. |
00:38:33 |
Our show is a triumph everywhere. |
00:38:35 |
Along the way, we tell of new events, |
00:38:38 |
and in Moscow we have an ovation. |
00:38:40 |
But the more we're acclaimed, |
00:38:44 |
Our triumphs trigger the wrath of Korsakov |
00:38:47 |
who'll play with fire to destroy us. |
00:38:56 |
For God's sake! |
00:38:58 |
Pivine! |
00:39:27 |
Pivine! |
00:39:36 |
Pivine! Pivine! |
00:39:39 |
Pivine! |
00:39:47 |
Farewell, Pivoine, |
00:39:48 |
you worked the shadows |
00:39:55 |
Farewell, I won't forget you smile. |
00:40:03 |
- Dimitri arrives in St Petersburg. |
00:40:06 |
Pardon me, where can I find the Tsar? |
00:40:08 |
He rushes to the Palace. |
00:40:10 |
The Tsar will welcome him, |
00:40:16 |
has been so devoted that |
00:40:19 |
To the great displeasure |
00:40:23 |
who arrived in time to supposedly |
00:40:31 |
To think that his father called |
00:40:38 |
Now his name's associated |
00:40:43 |
Dimitri, I had to see you in person. |
00:40:51 |
Dimitri Nikolayevich Pechkov, |
00:40:54 |
I must confess I admire your feat. |
00:41:01 |
If you forget what happened, |
00:41:05 |
You will be generously rewarded. |
00:41:11 |
Suddenly Dimitri realises |
00:41:14 |
He remembers the bear he |
00:41:16 |
He recalls his friend Muktan, |
00:41:18 |
and the Evenks' disarray. |
00:41:19 |
He's going to tell him straight out: |
00:41:22 |
"Governor you need to save your honour now! |
00:41:25 |
You wonted to make a fortune and showed |
00:41:28 |
You've gained nothing |
00:41:31 |
The Tsar will be informed that you are |
00:41:38 |
Dimitri wished he could say more. |
00:41:41 |
is worth all the money in the world. |
00:41:43 |
His head is full of arguments. |
00:41:46 |
But what could one tell a man, |
00:41:48 |
who betrayed the ideaI he embodied? |
00:41:52 |
Nothing! |
00:42:02 |
Some words kill faster than bullets. |
00:42:05 |
But dimitri has no time for emotion. |
00:42:06 |
He risked his life a thousand times to have |
00:42:09 |
so that he would condescend |
00:42:11 |
Tsar, o my gentle Tsar, |
00:42:14 |
hear the prayers of the innocent, |
00:42:16 |
Siberia's begging you and Muktan's people |
00:42:18 |
are throwing themselves at your feet. |
00:42:23 |
Come on! |
00:42:24 |
Congratulations! |
00:42:27 |
An audience worthy of Paris, |
00:42:29 |
the city shining with light and beauty. |
00:42:36 |
It is up to me, mister Fragonard, |
00:42:39 |
I would've enjoyed your show immensely, |
00:42:42 |
had you not added |
00:42:46 |
the tragic death of our Governor. |
00:42:48 |
You should know, Sir, that no subject, |
00:42:50 |
even in the farthest reaches of Holy Russia, |
00:42:53 |
ignores the wrath of His majesty. |
00:42:55 |
Consequently, we've never heard |
00:43:01 |
Let me inform you that I am |
00:43:06 |
As such, I alone decide to reward them, |
00:43:10 |
or listen to their grievances. |
00:43:13 |
Well then, will His Majesty deign to listen |
00:43:18 |
He's among us and has travelled |
00:43:36 |
You Majesty! Here's the Cossack, |
00:43:39 |
who rtavelled 6,000 miles throught Russia! |
00:43:41 |
That's him! Here's our hero! |
00:43:44 |
"For as long as Russian land gives birth |
00:43:48 |
we can rest assured of the strenght |
00:43:52 |
These are my father's words to you, Sir. |
00:43:53 |
His imperiaI Majesty, our beloved |
00:44:00 |
Your Majesty, I... |
00:44:02 |
I beg you Majesty's forgiveness, |
00:44:05 |
our hero is very intimidated |
00:44:07 |
Your Majesty. |
00:44:08 |
Muktan was murdered in cold blood. |
00:44:10 |
His only crime was being Evenk. |
00:44:13 |
Which no doubt explains |
00:44:16 |
and why nobody bothered to inform you. |
00:44:19 |
You are insolent, young lady! |
00:44:20 |
But you're a smooth talker. |
00:44:22 |
Where's the little horse? |
00:44:24 |
Your Majesty, allow us to offer him to you. |
00:44:26 |
No! This is out of the question! |
00:44:27 |
Pray tell Dimitri Nikolayevich Pechkov |
00:44:31 |
and consider that his little horses, |
00:44:32 |
are under my personaI protection. |
00:44:39 |
Once upon a time, |
00:44:42 |
The little horse loved his freedom, |
00:44:45 |
but in the end, chose the golden |
00:44:49 |
and gained the affection of a kid, |
00:44:54 |
Will you stay untiI I've made improvements? |
00:44:58 |
Well, your Majesty, |
00:45:00 |
Besides I have a hunch that crowds, |
00:45:03 |
will come in droves to cheer you |
00:46:05 |
I am proud of you! I knew you'd do it. |
00:46:10 |
I knew you'd go far! |
00:46:12 |
Is this your wife? She doesn't look stupid! |
00:46:15 |
Our hero of all Russias |
00:46:19 |
So he returned to amuria with her, |
00:46:22 |
for a beautifuI story cannot |
00:46:26 |
Father, ther's something wrong with her! |
00:46:32 |
I had to kill bear to marry her! |
00:46:33 |
So what? |
00:46:36 |
Everyone can live the way they like! |
00:46:48 |
Muktan! |
00:46:49 |
You can rest in peace. |
00:46:53 |
Muktan, your friend is back. |
00:46:55 |
He's brought us peace. |
00:46:57 |
Serko, you who live in golden palaces, |
00:47:00 |
who spend nights with gracefuI fillies, |
00:47:03 |
we thank you for standing up for |
00:47:07 |
and for defeding their survivaI. |
00:47:09 |
Don't leave Ladies and Gentlemen! |
00:47:12 |
Do stay! |
00:47:13 |
I'm not done with our trabeller, |
00:47:15 |
I haven't described how he rode |
00:47:18 |
over which only princesses could rule. |
00:47:21 |
Men were their servants. |
00:47:23 |
They had a harem and chose their lovers, |
00:47:28 |
Wait, there's also ther startling story, |
00:47:34 |
of how our weakened hero gashed. |
00:47:36 |
Serko's flesh and drank |
00:47:41 |
And that very day his horse, |
00:47:45 |
his amazing Serko moved slowly, |
00:47:49 |
so as not to make things worse for |
00:47:52 |
I'll also show you the wide mouths |
00:47:56 |
with their poplars quivering in the cooI |
00:48:01 |
Hey, wait! One more word! |
00:48:07 |
Serko's just had offspring, |
00:48:10 |
so tells me our little Tsar. |
00:48:12 |
Telegrams are helpfuI. |
00:48:14 |
There were some 10 horses |
00:48:18 |
to joing Muktan's people in Amuria. |
00:48:23 |
Don't you want to hear about these |
00:48:26 |
Believe me, this isn't nonsense. |
