00:00:36 Before the battle, I want to tell you,
00:00:46 There are comrades everywhere,
00:00:51 but comrades such as in Russia,
00:00:57 there are none, nowhere.
00:01:01 Loving like the Russian soul, not through reason,
00:01:14 loving like that, nobody can.
00:01:19 I know, there are infamous
00:01:24 All they think about is stacking up grain, hay
00:01:30 They bring along, the Devil knows
00:01:36 They despise their own language.
00:01:39 They even refuse to speak it among themselves.
00:01:43 They sell their offspring like
00:01:50 And the favour of a foreign king,
00:01:59 whose yellow boots are crushing their own faces,
00:02:26 But even in the lowest of bastards, whoever he may be,
00:02:37 when he wakes up someday, hits the ground
00:02:45 curses aloud his despicable life, ready to redeem himself
00:02:55 Let thel all know what
00:03:02 And if it comes down to that, if we have to die,
00:03:13 None !
00:03:15 None !
00:03:20 They don't have the balls,
00:03:25 Attack !

00:04:45 Welcome.
00:04:47 How was the journey ?
00:04:49 Excellent.
00:05:07 Turn around, son !
00:05:09 Turn around !
00:05:16 It's funny, what you're wearing.
00:05:19 It looks like a pope's cassock, uh !
00:05:25 Such long dresses !
00:05:30 And if I push one of you,
00:05:31 will I see him tumble to the ground,
00:05:34 entangled in the folds ?
00:05:38 Don't laugh at us, father.
00:05:41 Ooh ! He's so cute !
00:05:44 Ha !
00:05:47 Why don't you laugh ?
00:05:50 Although you're my father, if you laugh,
00:05:52 I guarantee you, I will hit you.
00:05:55 What ? Your father ?!
00:05:59 Even though you're my father.
00:06:02 If I get offended, I do not
00:06:05 And how can you fight ?
00:06:09 With your fists ?
00:06:11 Ha ?
00:06:12 So be it.
00:06:16 All right, come on.
00:06:22 Come on !
00:06:26 Come with your fists.
00:06:29 Come on !
00:06:35 Good, son.
00:06:40 Well done, sonny.
00:06:42 Frankly, that's good.
00:06:51 Have you gone crazy, old fart !
00:06:55 One long year without seeing them,
00:06:58 But he was the one wanted to fight !
00:07:00 And not so bad, honestly.
00:07:02 He'll make a good Cossack !
00:07:12 Welcome, my son !
00:07:16 Shall we hug ?
00:07:26 Good, my son.
00:07:28 Always hit the way you hit me.
00:07:36 And you, snot-nose, what are you
00:07:39 Why, unworthy son,
00:07:42 Such a foolish idea to have
00:07:46 Yeah...and I hear this
00:07:50 Don't listen to your mother, my son.
00:07:52 She's a woman, and knows nothing.
00:07:55 Who's your family ?
00:07:57 Your future, is these plains,
00:08:03 That...is your family.
00:08:07 Do you see this sword ?
00:08:10 That...is your mother.
00:08:14 I'm sending you off to
00:08:23 That is where knowledge can be found.
00:08:27 There only, spirits are being shaped.
00:08:32 Only there.
00:08:39 I'm afraid, my sons, that the Archimandrite
00:08:43 has not passed the taste for vodka to you.
00:08:47 Why not concede, my sons,
00:08:50 whipped with birch sticks, on the back,
00:08:52 and on any other place
00:08:57 It's no use, father, to remember the past.
00:08:59 What is done, is done.
00:09:01 He's only trying to provoke you.
00:09:03 Just let these pagans talk,
00:09:05 they satisfy themselves to know
00:09:10 Good, son !
00:09:14 Frankly.
00:09:34 If it is like this, I shall go with you.
00:09:40 Indeed !
00:09:47 What the hell can I expect here ?
00:09:53 Sowing buckwheat,
00:09:57 Keeping the sheep, the pigs ?
00:09:59 Or chatting with my wife ?
00:10:02 Damn !
00:10:07 I am a Cossack !
00:10:10 And I don't want to !
00:10:14 Is there not a war ?
00:10:17 And I shall go with you to Zaporozhye.
00:10:21 and da-da-da-da, have fun !
00:10:26 What kind of enemy can we
00:10:29 What's the use of having a house ?
00:10:32 What's the use of all this ?
00:10:35 Dmitro, I will entrust you to take care
00:10:39 As long as I'll be in Syetch,
00:10:44 Don't forget to give them
00:10:46 Monaka, Orlika, Buyana.
00:10:55 Bulba was horribly stubborn.
00:10:59 He was one of those characters...
00:11:02 who could only be found in the
00:11:07 and who, being born Cossacks,
00:11:11 were provided with the reckless
00:11:17 He was a phenomenal example of Russian force,
00:11:22 driven from the entrails of the people,
00:11:26 Here.
00:12:56 Let's go !
00:13:06 Let go !
00:13:07 All right, let's go !
00:13:36 My beloved sons, what's waiting for you ?
00:13:43 What are you to become ?
00:13:47 Who will lead you ?
00:13:50 In which battle will you lose
00:13:55 And I won't even know where
00:14:32 Right, sons, all is ready.
00:14:37 Why wait any longer ?
00:14:40 Now, following the Christian tradition,
00:14:44 we have to all sit down.
00:15:07 Mother, bless your children.
00:15:16 Pray God to fight bravely,
00:15:21 to always act honestly,
00:15:23 and to always protect faith in Christ.
00:15:32 Or else,
00:15:37 better disappear,
00:15:41 than think differently.
00:15:46 May the mother of God bless you.
00:15:52 My sons, do not forget your mother.
00:18:47 Children...
00:18:49 Syetch, our mother.
00:18:55 Here is Syetch.
00:18:57 This is the nest where they all come from,
00:19:04 This is where the Cossacks are
00:19:11 Anyone who comes here, abandons
00:19:17 He'll happily spend time in
00:19:22 He won't have parents, or family, or home,
00:19:26 only undying insouciance and infinite skies.
00:19:32 This is Syetch.
00:19:55 Hey, musicians, play faster !
00:19:57 Don't be mad, Thomas, vodka
00:20:03 Take off your coat.
00:20:06 I can't.
00:20:07 And why ?
00:20:08 I can't, I could even sell it
00:20:24 Have fun, Vassil !
00:20:30 Now, you don't owe anyone anything.
00:20:35 Hail, Kirdyaga !
00:20:41 And I can see you didn't come alone,
00:21:36 He killed a comrade...like a dog.
00:22:19 He's a shame for all Cossacks.
00:22:22 And if he hadn't been a Cossack ?
00:22:26 But only a simple man ?
00:22:28 A Polack ?
00:22:29 Wouldn't that be a shame, then ?
00:22:30 If it were so, only the Polacks would mourn.
00:22:32 Nobody's mourning us.
00:22:35 But there are laws.
00:22:38 A court ? Roman law ?
00:22:40 Here prevails the law of our soil.
00:22:43 What if we were born in another country ?
00:22:49 I don't know.
00:22:52 I remember, when we were kids,
00:22:55 and you were skipping around, crying,
00:22:58 because the sun was heating
00:23:00 I took you in my arms,
00:23:04 and walked again, and I had the feeling
00:23:06 but the soil itself that was warming my feet.
00:23:10 My soil.
00:23:12 It's just like Latin, at the seminary.
00:23:17 Veni, vidi,...
00:23:20 Vici.
00:23:26 Won ? No, not us.
00:23:29 Not with this soil under our feet.
00:23:46 There she is.
00:23:47 Where ?
00:23:48 Over there, first row.
00:24:19 Hey you, bastards, how
00:24:24 What did you say ?
00:25:08 A real son of Taras, huh guys ?
00:25:18 And you, what can you do ?
00:25:23 Or maybe you can't do anything ?
00:25:55 So be it.
00:25:58 He will stand here.
00:26:00 And I shall shoot.
00:26:02 But why would you want to do that, Shilo ?
00:26:05 Because he had already his turn.
00:26:06 We'll see whether he's courageous.
00:27:24 Yuk !
00:27:26 Where are you going to, Taras ?
00:27:27 Hi, father.
00:27:31 Hi.
00:27:32 Back to Syetch ?
00:27:33 Do you believe in Christ ?
00:27:35 I do.
00:27:36 Hail to you, Koshevoy (*)
00:27:40 Hello, Taras.
00:27:42 And do you believe in the Holy Trinity ?
00:27:44 I do, father.
00:27:45 Sit down.
00:27:48 And now, cross yourself.
00:27:53 Good. You can go now.
00:27:58 And you know to which hut...
00:28:00 Thank you, father.
00:28:06 So, Koshevoy...
00:28:10 It's time for the Cossacks to have fun.
00:28:21 There's no place to have fun.
00:28:24 How so, no place ?
00:28:26 We can go to the Turks, or to the Tatars.
00:28:32 We can't go to the Turks nor to the Tatars.
00:28:37 How so, we can't go ?
00:28:43 We promised the sultan...peace.
00:29:01 You, you are the sultan...
00:29:04 this devil of a Turk,
00:29:09 brother to the demon and...
00:29:18 But what the hell can you do, knight,
00:29:21 when you can't even kill a hedgehog,
00:29:25 because your butt is naked ?
00:29:30 We do not fear your armies.
00:29:34 On ground and sea, we will fight you...
00:29:39 you, Babylonian spitmeat !
00:29:43 Gelding of Jerusalem !
00:29:48 And now, we have to finish,
00:29:52 for we don't know how to count
00:29:54 and we don't have a calendar.
00:29:57 But if this day is ours,
00:30:01 Kiss...
00:30:02 from where you are, kiss us right here !
00:30:06 All right, send this letter to the sultan.
00:30:09 We can't send the letter to the sultan.
00:30:12 And why is that so ?
00:30:13 Koshevoy won't allow it.
00:30:15 How so, won't allow it ?
00:30:16 He wants peace with the sultan.
00:30:19 That dog !
00:30:40 What do you want, sirs ?
00:30:43 - Give back the staff !
00:30:48 We don't want you anymore !
00:30:52 Give back the staff !
00:30:53 - Give back the staff !
00:31:10 Who do you choose now as Koshevoy ?
00:31:12 Choose Kukubenko !
00:31:15 No, not Kukubenko !
00:31:18 He's still got milk on the lip !
00:31:22 Let Shilo be the chief !
00:31:26 Fuck Shilo !
00:31:28 A guy who steals from hiw own
00:31:32 Like a Tatar !
00:31:36 Shout for Kirdyaga.
00:31:44 Kirdyaga !
00:31:47 Yes, Kirdyaga !
00:31:49 Kirdyaga !
00:32:11 Kirdyaga !
00:32:23 Kirdyaga !
00:34:02 Let there be vodka for all !
00:34:12 What news ?
00:34:16 Disastrous !
00:34:19 All this Cossack power, in vain !
00:34:22 There is no war !
00:34:24 Our sergents are growing mossy,
00:34:27 and their eyes are getting fleshy !
00:34:37 Allow me, chief, to say a word ?
00:34:45 Speak.
00:34:48 What is the news ?
00:34:50 The news is catastrophic.
00:34:55 Catastrophic ?
00:34:57 Colonel, you don't have a regiment any more.
00:35:01 And you don't have a farm,
00:35:04 No servants any more.
00:35:06 The Polacks destroyed everything.
00:35:11 And your wife, Taras...
00:35:43 Even maimed, we tried to save her.
00:35:49 But we couldn't.
00:36:55 And allow me, sirs,
00:36:58 to say another word.
00:37:01 Speak !
00:37:13 Speak, dog !
00:37:15 I want to ask you something.
00:37:19 Have you heard...
00:37:22 what's going on over the whole kingdom ?
00:37:26 And what's going on ?
00:37:31 Tell us what's going on, son of a bitch !
00:37:34 We were born and baptized
00:37:37 but they don't give a damn !
00:37:40 We live in a time
00:37:42 where even the sacred churches
00:37:45 are not ours any more !
00:37:47 How so, not ours ?
00:37:48 Why, not ours ?
00:37:51 They are renting them to innkeepers !
00:37:53 What ? What do you mean ?
00:37:59 And if we don't pay the rent in advance,
00:38:03 they won't allow us to attend mass !
00:38:09 That is the kind of time
00:38:13 Listen up, for I have
00:38:17 Today, priests are traveling
00:38:22 The problem is not that
00:38:24 it's that the carts are not
00:38:28 ...but by good orthodox Christians !
00:38:39 That is the kind of time
00:38:44 And you, you are here,
00:38:46 you are having fun and you don't hear
00:38:52 Shut up, shut up !
00:38:54 And what have you been doing ?
00:38:56 Didn't you have your
00:39:00 How could you ever allow
00:39:05 Oh yes, I would like to see you,
00:39:10 It's not a secret that even
00:39:12 among us there are dogs,
00:39:15 who are turning away from faith.
00:39:18 And your Ghetman, and your colonels,
00:39:22 What our colonels have done ?
00:39:25 They have done what they had to,
00:39:31 Right now, the Ghetman is in Warsaw,
00:39:38 The heads and hands of the colonels
00:39:41 have been shown to the population,
00:39:43 That is what our colonels have done !
00:39:49 What ?! Priests carried in carts
00:39:54 How can we tolerate on Russian soil
00:39:56 that damned infidels practice such tortures ?!
00:39:57 And what they have done to
00:40:01 We won't allow it !
00:40:06 Let's go and strangle the strangers !
00:40:09 Let's go and drown them in the Dnieper !
00:41:05 But it's not us, it's not us renting,
00:41:08 It's the Ukrainians, but not us,
00:41:18 I did nothing, I did nothing !
00:41:22 Master, protect me,
00:41:24 Masters such as you, sirs,
00:41:30 So courageous, so brave, so good, no,
00:41:36 But it's not us, it's not us renting,
00:41:43 Those who do that,
00:41:45 Pfuh-pfuh-pfuh-pfuh !
00:41:50 I knew your brother,
00:41:53 I lent him 800 crowns
00:41:55 Enough, come here.
00:41:59 Don't move !
00:42:05 Wait !
00:42:11 You knew my brother ?
00:42:13 Yes.
00:42:15 In truth I did.
00:42:25 What's your name ?
00:42:32 Yankel.
00:42:39 Very well.
00:42:44 Step away, brave fighters.
00:42:49 And you, go away.
00:42:54 Don't push me to sin.
00:43:06 The council of elders has decided
00:43:12 to go to Poland !
00:43:24 Make them pay for their misdeeds,
00:43:28 in tears and death !
00:43:30 They denigrated our faith !
00:43:34 What is the decision of
00:43:41 Agreed !
00:44:03 God bless you !
00:44:07 God bless you !
00:44:47 Farewell, Syetch, mother.
00:44:49 The Lord be with you.
00:45:26 Moron ! Do you want to
00:45:30 I'm not talking to anyone.
00:45:33 I'm carrying everything
00:45:35 and at a price so low that no
00:45:41 Honestly, yes, by God, yes !
00:45:43 Ah ! You are a smart one !
00:46:18 Soon, the whole of south-western
00:46:23 Everywhere shouts could be heard :
00:46:29 All that could be saved, was carried off.
00:46:33 All were fleeing, alone or in groups,
00:46:54 What do you think ?
00:46:56 Your Highness, they are
00:47:01 Are they really that many ?
00:47:04 Rabble ! Cattle !
00:47:08 Rebel slaves !
00:47:11 Maybe not all of them.
00:47:14 You don't know them.
00:47:17 Are you afraid ?
00:47:21 I'm not afraid of anything, my daughter.
00:47:26 I'm just worried about you.
00:47:29 But believe me, we will disband them.
00:47:32 And punish them severely.
00:47:48 They are coming !
00:47:50 Attack !
00:48:02 Be ready !
00:48:04 More wood.
00:48:19 Be ready !
00:48:27 They're so many.
00:48:31 At my command !
00:48:37 Darling, you have to go.
00:48:40 We will have to fight.
00:48:43 This is no place for you.
00:48:49 Attaque !
00:48:57 Obey !
00:49:04 Fire !
00:49:27 Fire !
00:50:27 Pistol !
00:50:54 Aida...
00:50:56 ...in the storm !!
00:51:12 Almost there !
00:51:17 Your hand !
00:51:20 Andriy, Andriy, hold on !
00:52:06 Sound retreat !
00:52:51 This is nothing, brothers,
00:52:55 but let me turn into a barbarian
00:53:00 if we allow a single one
00:53:03 Let them starve to death, those dogs !
00:53:07 We will besiege the city
00:53:09 and not even a mouse will pass through !
00:54:10 Help me undress then you may dispose.
00:54:13 All right, mistress.
00:54:38 - Good night.
00:55:20 What's going on, mistress ?
00:55:30 Nothing, I dropped my comb.
00:56:02 Did you see me ?
00:56:05 Yes.
00:56:27 Nobody has ever seen me like this.
00:57:36 Go away !
00:57:50 Tell me, who are you ?
00:57:55 I think I saw you before.
00:57:57 Yes, in Kiev.
00:57:59 In Kiev ?
00:58:03 You're a Tatar ! You're the servant...
00:58:05 - to the Voyvod's daughter ! (*)
00:58:08 Hush !
00:58:10 So tell me, how is she ?
00:58:12 She's here, in the city.
00:58:14 In the city ?
00:58:17 And why is she in this city ?
00:58:19 Because the old master is here too.
00:58:22 He's Voyvod of the city of Dubna.
00:58:32 Is she married ?
00:58:37 Well, answer me !
00:58:39 She has eaten nothing all day.
00:58:42 Why ?
00:58:44 There's no bread anymore.
00:58:45 People are eating dust.
00:58:47 She said ! go ask the knight,
00:58:49 if he remembers me, to come see me,
00:58:52 and if not, to give bread for my mother.
00:58:56 He too has a mother.
00:59:00 The Polacks killed my mother.
00:59:23 But how did you manage to come here ?
00:59:26 How did you do ?
00:59:28 The underground passage.
00:59:33 There is a passage ?
00:59:35 Yes.
00:59:58 Come with me.
00:59:59 For God's sake, bread...
01:00:04 Now.
01:00:06 Stay here, close to the cart.
01:00:08 No, sit down. Everyone sleeps.
01:00:12 I'm going, now.
01:00:34 Keep your sodding...
01:00:54 Let's go.
01:01:00 Andriy !
01:01:05 You're with a woman !
01:01:11 Women waiting at home, it's no good.
01:01:20 Come on.
01:01:22 Hurry, hurry up.
01:02:14 Because of the famine, we have eaten
01:02:19 You wouldn't even find a mouse.
01:02:21 How do they intend to defend the city ?
01:02:23 The Voyvod was ready to surrender,
01:02:26 that a colonel is arriving from Warsaw,
01:03:45 May God reward you.
01:03:52 Me, I'm just a weak woman.
01:04:09 Easy, don't eat too fast.
01:04:16 You haven't eaten for so long
01:04:26 Princess...
01:04:30 What do you want ?
01:04:33 What do you need ?
01:04:35 Your wish is my command.
01:04:38 Ask me what you want, even if it's the most
01:04:43 Command me to do what
01:04:48 Why are you so sad ?
01:04:50 Why are you so sad ?
01:05:00 Fate is so cruel. My life was but
01:05:07 and all this for what ?
01:05:10 Dying a death that not even
01:05:15 And never knowing the love that
01:05:19 Holy Virgin, forgive my sins.
01:05:21 You will not.
01:05:25 You won't die,
01:05:30 On my family, I swear it.
01:05:33 And if it comes that neither force
01:05:37 then we shall die together.
01:05:44 But I'll die first.
01:05:46 For being without you is being dead already.
01:05:50 Do not lie, knight.
01:05:52 Not to yourself, no to me.
01:05:58 I know that you may not love me.
01:06:03 You talk of fathers, comrades, motherland...
01:06:09 And to you, we are the enemy.
01:06:17 And what is a father ?
01:06:20 Comrades ?
01:06:21 Motherland ?
01:06:24 Nobody dictates what I should believe.
01:06:27 Nobody. Nobody !
01:06:34 Who said that Ukraine is my motherland ?
01:06:37 Who offered it to me as a motherland ?
01:06:39 Motherland is what our soul is longing for,
01:06:42 what's most precious in the world to it.
01:06:47 Here is my motherland.
01:06:53 You are my motherland.
01:06:59 And I shall hold this
01:07:06 I shall hold it as long as I live.
01:07:09 And nobody, even a Cossack,
01:07:16 For such a motherland,
01:07:19 I'd give everything,
01:07:20 I'd sell everything,
01:07:22 I'd break everything.
01:08:20 Did you see Andriy ?
01:08:23 No.
01:08:26 - Maybe he's been captures.
01:08:30 But he's not among the dead.
01:08:34 Have another look at all of them !
01:08:40 See, brothers, what happened last night !
01:08:44 All these dead drunk morons !
01:08:48 Not surprising that half are dead,
01:08:54 What a shame in front of our enemy !
01:08:59 Allow me, chief ?
01:09:01 Your reproaches are not truly justified.
01:09:07 Cossacks would be to blame
01:09:09 should they be drunk while
01:09:13 But we were sitting idle,
01:09:15 taking walks here and
01:09:20 Did we not behave as Christians
01:09:27 But if we don't have anything to do,
01:09:34 Bulba's eldest son has spoken well !
01:09:37 And this is not a sin !
01:09:39 And we are going to show them now
01:09:41 what it means to attack
01:09:45 They have been hitting hard before, but we'll
01:09:51 Master !
01:09:54 Master colonel !
01:09:58 I've been in the city.
01:10:03 Did the enemy take you there ?
01:10:06 When I heard the noise, when
01:10:11 I ran toward the city gate, just when
01:10:17 A the head of the troops
01:10:21 He's been owing me one
01:10:23 I followed him to get my money back,
01:10:28 What, you ? Entered in the city ?
01:10:33 And he didn't hang you as a dog ?!
01:10:36 Yes ! He wanted to !
01:10:39 He put a rope around my
01:10:43 and I promised I'd lend him more money.
01:10:46 And since the Lieutenant doesn't have
01:10:50 he can't sit at the Diet (*).
01:10:52 And what have you been doing in the city ?
01:10:55 Of course !
01:10:58 To hell with them !
01:11:02 Uh-uh, Cossacks...
01:11:06 I saw...
01:11:10 master Andriy.
01:11:15 You saw him ?
01:11:18 Andriy ?
01:11:22 But how ?
01:11:24 And where did you see him ?
01:11:26 In a basement ?
01:11:28 In a pit ?
01:11:30 Dishonoured ?
01:11:32 Chained ?
01:11:33 No, who would dare chain master Andriy ?
01:11:36 This majestic...
01:11:38 knight ?
01:11:40 God knows I hadn't recognized him...
01:11:42 with his golden epaulets,
01:11:47 his golden hat...as a matter of
01:11:50 And a golden belt,
01:12:00 And the Voyvod gave him a horse.
01:12:03 A horse worth two hundred crowns alone.
01:12:10 That's it.
01:12:12 But why would he wear such a disguise ?
01:12:14 He passed over.
01:12:24 Passed where ?
01:12:25 He's passed over to their side.
01:12:28 He's one of them now.
01:12:30 You're lying, bastard !
01:12:32 And why would I lie to you ?
01:12:34 I know a Jew can get hanged from a tree
01:12:36 like a dog, should he lie to a master.
01:12:39 Then, if it was him, you think,
01:12:41 No, no, no, I never said he did !
01:12:44 I only said that he
01:12:49 You lie, damn Jew !
01:12:51 Such a thing is unthinkable
01:12:53 You lie, dog !
01:12:54 Let grass not grow on my threshold,
01:12:57 and let spit on my father's grave,
01:13:00 and on my mother's, and
01:13:03 If the master allows, I can even
01:13:07 Why ?!
01:13:09 The Voyvod's daughter is beautiful.
01:13:13 Great God, a true beauty !
01:13:16 It's because of her, if he passed over.
01:13:19 I questioned the Tatar chambermaid.
01:13:22 There will a a marriage, as soon
01:13:27 Master Andriy promised
01:13:30 Why didn't you kill him
01:13:32 Why kill him ?
01:13:35 He's better over there.
01:13:38 You...
01:13:41 You saw him ?
01:13:44 In truth, the same face.
01:13:46 He came toward me, recognized
01:13:51 What did he say ?
01:13:54 Tell my father.
01:13:58 Tell the Cossacks.
01:14:05 That from now on...
01:14:09 My father is not my father any more.
01:14:11 My brother is not my brother,
01:14:16 And that I shall fight them all !
01:14:19 Go away before I kill you, damn Jew.
01:15:33 Alert !
01:15:34 What's the matter ?
01:15:43 My brothers, God be praised !
01:15:46 I thought I'd never find you.
01:15:48 I've been riding this horse for five days.
01:15:50 What happened ?
01:15:51 Tatars.
01:15:55 People, all killed,
01:15:58 I alone could escape.
01:16:21 Well, brother,
01:16:24 maybe we'll meet again,
01:16:28 Forgive me, brother.
01:16:34 God forgive you.
01:16:38 And to the next time.
01:16:42 God forgive.
01:16:45 For the third time, forgive.
01:16:48 God forgive.
01:17:13 Are they leaving ?
01:17:19 I don't understand.
01:17:25 Only half of them.
01:17:28 It means that only half of them remain.
01:17:41 Half the Cossacks are gone.
01:17:44 The other half remain.
01:17:47 Sirs, this is our only chance.
01:17:52 Tomorrow, we'll crush and overcome them.
01:17:57 A toast to that !
01:18:07 I appreciate you, friends,
01:18:10 not because you chose me as your chief,
01:18:15 not in honour of our
01:18:19 not because this minute
01:18:26 A noble cause is waiting
01:18:29 from us sweat and higher virtues !
01:18:33 So let's drink, comrades,
01:18:39 the holy orthodox faith !
01:18:46 Let there finally be a time...
01:18:51 when it will spread in the world,
01:18:55 and there will be...
01:18:57 only one single and holy faith !
01:19:02 To faith !
01:19:03 To faith !
01:19:10 And by the same way,
01:19:14 To Syetch !
01:19:16 May the city grow in beauty and power
01:19:26 To Syetch !
01:19:31 And finally, comrades,
01:19:36 Comrades !
01:19:39 To all Christians in the world !
01:19:46 To Christians !
01:19:59 Cossacks think deeply.
01:20:03 Like eagles, they contemplate
01:20:09 The fields will be covered
01:20:12 generously drenched
01:20:16 But none of them will be forgotten.
01:20:20 And the Cossacks' glory will live for ever.
01:20:23 A bard's prophetizing soul
01:20:30 And all those who will be
01:20:34 Because a strong word reaches far away,
01:20:39 in which many lords have
01:20:44 so it may resound far across,
01:20:49 calling everyone to the holy prayer.
01:21:22 Attack !
01:21:30 Forward !
01:21:44 Do not yield !
01:21:45 Don't let them break through our ranks.
01:21:48 Concentrate fire on them !
01:22:55 Hey, your weapons are really worth a lot !
01:23:00 I killed seven Poles but I
01:23:05 Filthy dog !
01:23:08 Vivat !
01:23:12 Take this !
01:23:15 Come on !
01:23:19 The colonel has been killed,
01:23:22 The colonel is dead !
01:23:29 And why aren't you a colonel ?
01:23:30 No, really ?
01:23:32 Kukubenko, colonel !
01:23:36 With me !
01:23:37 Come on !
01:24:48 Our victory, comrade !
01:24:53 No, this is not a victory yet.
01:25:28 Yours.
01:25:32 You're slaying yours.
01:25:37 Hey Cossacks, draw him toward the woods,
01:26:50 And what are we going to do now ?
01:26:57 So, sonny, you've been
01:27:07 Selling yourself like that !
01:27:10 Selling your faith !
01:27:14 Selling your...
01:27:16 Get down !
01:27:20 Get off that horse !
01:27:33 Stop and don't move !
01:27:43 I fathered you...
01:27:47 and I shall kill you.
01:28:50 And you were such a good Cossack.
01:28:54 Strong, and proud.
01:28:59 Noble...
01:29:03 A strong arm in the battle.
01:29:08 Lost...
01:29:11 Lost, shamefully.
01:29:13 Why, mangy dog ?
01:29:19 We are in trouble, chief !
01:29:21 Everybody's looking for you !
01:29:23 The enemy has got some backup forces.
01:29:27 But the Cossacks won't die if they
01:29:30 They want you to come and see them
01:29:39 So, comrades,
01:29:44 The Cossacks' army is still powerful ?
01:29:47 The Cossacks will never surrender ?
01:29:50 Our cartridges are full, chief !
01:29:54 And we haven't lost our power !
01:29:59 And we will never surrender !
01:30:10 I'm leaving this world without regret.
01:30:14 God gives the same death to all.
01:30:17 May Russia remain glorious
01:30:40 May Russia get rid of its
01:30:49 And the young soul flies away.
01:30:52 Angels covered it under their wings
01:30:57 There it will be well.
01:30:59 "Sit down to my right, Kukubenko,"
01:31:03 "You haven't changed comradeship."
01:31:05 "You have not been disgraced. You have defended and preserved my Church."
01:31:17 So, comrades,
01:31:21 The Cossacks' army is still powerful ?
01:31:25 The Cossacks will never surrender ?
01:31:28 Our cartridges are full, chief !
01:31:33 And we haven't lost our power !
01:31:35 And we will never surrender !
01:31:38 One of the most valiant Cossack chiefs.
01:31:41 He took part in numerous expeditions,
01:31:47 They gathered large wealth
01:31:51 And the bards will chant their
01:32:13 It seems, comrades,
01:32:16 that this is a good death.
01:32:19 I killed seven with the saber,
01:32:23 May Russia blossom for ever.
01:32:39 Cossack Mossiy Shilo was strong.
01:32:42 More than once he commanded at sea,
01:32:46 He might have been Koshevoy,
01:32:49 He used to drink and spend without telling,
01:32:53 Besides, he was a notorious thief : one night,
01:33:00 For such a shameful act,
01:33:03 next to a club, so that
01:33:06 But not a single Cossack took the club to Shilo,
01:33:14 So was the Cossack Mossiy Shilo.
01:33:28 Farewell, brothers, comrades.
01:33:35 May Russia remain for ever
01:33:44 May Russia be its honor !
01:33:54 And the Cossacks are fighting.
01:33:56 But already Zadorozhniy is dead,
01:34:00 Then Pysarenko's dead, then another,
01:34:06 But the Cossacks are fighting
01:34:25 I thank God for allowing me
01:34:33 May our followers live better than we did.
01:34:37 And may our beloved Russia
01:34:53 So, brothers ?
01:34:57 Your cartridges are full ?
01:35:01 Your swords are not dull ?
01:35:05 Your power is intact ?
01:35:08 Did the Cossacks surrender ?
01:35:11 Our swords are still sharp !
01:35:14 And the Cossacks are still fighting.
01:35:27 Fire !
01:35:49 Ostap, hold on !
01:36:05 Good, son, good !
01:36:11 Bastard !
01:36:31 I'm with you, Ostap !
01:36:46 Father !
01:36:48 Hey, Ostap, Ostap...
01:38:00 The Cossacks have crossed the river.
01:38:04 Soon, Asia Minor will acknowledge them,
01:38:09 It will see the turbans of muslim inhabitants
01:38:11 spread like countless flowers
01:38:17 It will see the Cossacks' baggy black trousers,
01:38:23 And the pleasure
01:38:26 They will sail against turkish ships, despite
01:38:34 One third of them will be lost at sea,
01:38:39 and they'll reach the Dnieper's mouth,
01:38:55 My son, Ostap,
01:39:01 my...
01:39:38 Listen up, Yankel, I saved your life,
01:39:42 it's your turn, now.
01:39:45 Do me a favour.
01:39:47 If it's a favour I can do, why not ?
01:39:53 Don't say a word.
01:39:55 Take me to Warsaw.
01:39:58 To Warsaw ?
01:40:00 But why Warsaw ?
01:40:01 Take me...
01:40:03 to Warsaw. I have never been there and I must
01:40:11 Tell him a word ?
01:40:14 To Ostap,
01:40:17 my son.
01:40:22 If the master doesn't know yet...
01:40:23 He knows.
01:40:26 My head is worth two thousand crowns.
01:40:29 I'll give you five thousand.
01:40:32 Two thousand now,
01:40:35 and the rest when we're back.
01:40:41 I guess the man whose money it was before,
01:40:52 I'd have preferred not to have to ask.
01:40:55 I could have found the
01:40:58 But I don't have any time to lose.
01:41:01 So prepare your cart and take me there !
01:41:04 And the master thinks it's enough to say :
01:41:10 And the master thinks that
01:41:15 Well, I'll hide if I have to.
01:41:17 In an empty barrel, or what ?
01:41:19 Why, an empty barrel ?
01:41:21 that the barrel's not empty,
01:41:25 Let them think so, then.
01:41:27 Yes, and at the first check,
01:41:33 they'll see that nothing is flowing
01:41:38 A Jew never carries an empty barrel.
01:41:41 That's a bit true, isn't it ?
01:41:45 They will seize the Jew, tie him down,
01:41:53 Because all that goes
01:42:00 Because everybody
01:42:04 Because everybody thinks : he's not a man.
01:42:08 I am Jew.
01:42:13 But you'll take me,
01:42:15 won't you, please ?
01:42:21 WARSAW
01:43:08 Colonel, we're already in Warsaw.
01:43:34 What ?
01:43:35 Did you succeed ?
01:43:38 My poor master,
01:43:43 Absolutely, impossible.
01:43:47 A people so mean that they
01:43:54 That's what Mordichai says.
01:43:58 Mordichai did what nobody else did.
01:44:04 But God did not allow it.
01:44:08 Tomorrow, they'll all be executed.
01:45:08 Come then.
01:45:10 I can't.
01:45:11 We need it.
01:45:16 I need it.
01:45:43 There, Miss, with all those instruments,
01:45:51 He knows his affair very well.
01:45:54 When he starts breaking bones, it's a
01:46:01 And when he has to cut a head,
01:46:09 Because, Miss, that could
01:46:22 Death !
01:46:42 God, let all those who are not heretics,
01:46:45 or mean, suffer
01:46:48 like true Christians !
01:46:54 For none of us has uttered a single word !
01:47:48 Good, son...
01:48:04 Good, son, good...
01:48:34 Good, son, good...
01:49:38 Father, where are you ?
01:49:44 Can you hear me ?
01:49:46 I hear you, my son !
01:49:49 I hear you !
01:50:15 Aida !
01:50:25 Aida !
01:50:36 Aida !
01:51:05 This is for you, damned Polacks,
01:51:46 Help her.
01:51:51 Help her, old fool !
01:51:55 Why don't you do anything ?
01:51:57 She's been suffering for three days !
01:52:24 Sirs, please excuse me.
01:52:30 Let's continue.
01:52:33 Cossacks under the orders
01:52:41 have defeated the royal army
01:52:41 The only way to safeguard
01:52:48 even though the Cossack leaders led
01:52:54 Enough, mister Kosnievsky.
01:52:57 We must try and gather
01:53:01 Lord, the danger stalking us is terrible.
01:53:05 Because they are not people.
01:53:13 Pray excuse me.
01:53:26 What is it ?
01:53:28 The princess died.
01:53:33 And the child ?
01:53:35 Alive.
01:53:39 It's a boy.
01:54:46 Sir, a small Bulba
01:54:52 They are in the Dniester's rocks.
01:54:56 We'll be there in the morning !
01:54:59 Forward, at a gallop !
01:55:20 They're many.
01:55:21 On horse !
01:55:31 To the river !
01:55:40 Aida !
01:55:46 Aida !
01:56:04 Aida !
01:56:49 To the Dniester !
01:57:14 I have to quit tobacco.
01:57:17 I don't want to end up
01:57:20 ...Polacks !
01:58:20 Ah, old age...
01:58:48 Burn !
01:58:51 In front of everyone, burn !
01:59:57 Where to ? Which way ?
02:00:06 Take a left and then,
