72 Meters Page #3

Now look here, Fresher.

I go first, you follow me

in two seconds.

One...

Two...

Hey, 'Slavs'!

Is anybody there?

Turn it off, youjerk!

Shut up and lighten

yourself.

- O-o, it's you.

- It's me. Chernenko.

Give it to me.

He was giving us pills.

Antistressant. Keeps

your spirits higher...

Really? Not lower?

No, higher!

Confirmed by clinic tests.

Are you wailing after

taking a too many of your pills?

I'm not wailing.

I'm singing.

- Singing what?

- A song.

I always sing,

when it is... spooky.

You sing again - I'll bust

your singing piece in. Clear?

It is waterproof.

I specially bought it.

Can you explain to me

what happened?

Why should I?

Dive!

It's not a real crash, okay?

It's a make-believe alarm.

- Make-believe?

- Sure thing.

Make-believe sinking.

- Make-believe?

- Yeah, it's maneuvers.

It's sham sinking

after being chased by

a sham enemy ship.

- Sham sinking?

- All things sham in the navy,

except eating.

'Slav Girl' is missing.

It's Yanychar, I'm not

surprised.

But the exercise time

is over.

Gena knows no standards.

He accomplished his mission

to remain unnoticed.

And again he has broken

the rules.

- What about the brass?

- They think hard.

We had graduated from

the same school.

Back then he was a legend

already.

This Yanychar of yours

is a miscreant.

If I had my way with him...

Nobody can have

his way with Gena.

Can you dive without

our help?

I did some diving in Turkey

and passed instructions here.

Don'tjerk with your legs too

much in the water.

Next diver's head is right

behind you.

- Where are we going now?

- To the mess-room.

Maybe there is another

scholar guy stuck there.

What's wrong with you?

Calm down.

Let us read something.

What haven't we read?

'She felt no fear,

'she knew that nothing bad

could happen to him.

'Assol was still

the same little girl

'who had her own way

of praying.'

Mama, read louder, I do not

sleep anyway,

and Gena is a sound sleeper.

I will stay with him.

- What do you mean?

- You know what I mean.

Fresher!

I thought that was the end.

I got cramps in my leg.

- Where is Fresher?

- We were hit by a strong wave!

Have you been conceived

by a flaccid prick, scholar?

Didn't I tell you:

Nojerking with your legs.

Fresher, are you okay?

- I'm fine.

- Never mind.

We'll shall yet break-dance

with you.

'We're made of different stuff',

right?

Some scholar.

The road between Moscow and

Leningrad is lousy with them.

I know why you elbowed your

way to the submarine.

I know your kind.

You wanted triple salary, right?

You, scorpion.

You shouldn't have said this.

You don't know a thing

about me.

- Nor do I want to.

- But your status...

- Status of a soldier?

- I do not think it's funny.

You're right, status of

a defender of my country.

But whom should I defend here?

Myself.

- Your self?

- Myself.

Explain to me:

Why the heck I should

defend you?

Because you have your straps,

and I haven't.

So what?

It is your duty to defend

citizens of your country.

Whetheryou like them or not.

- Is it clear now?

- Clear.

Aren't you a Ukrainian

guy by any chance?

I'm Russian. Why?

We had a guy named Chan -

also a Russian.

But he turned out to be

a Ukrainian, an ex-politician.

Comrades submariners!

Today we may at last say

that our cherished dream

came true.

Now we, citizens of

the free Ukraine,

possess the sea, the sun

and this sacred land.

We are no longer

somebody else's granary

feeding our hungry

and lazy big brother,

who is fond of drinking

into the bargain.

After some time our country

will become like Slavic

France or Canada.

Where is lvan?

Nelly is in heavy

labours.

Today we are all to face

heavy labours.

Captain lvanov!

- Yes, sir!

- You, pubic bone...

ljoin the military

and pledge solemnly

to the Ukrainian people

to be a loyal and faithful

officer,

to protect Ukraine,

its sovereignty...

To abide in good faith

Ukraine's Constitution

and its laws,

to keep the state

and military secrets.

I pledge to perform my duties

in the interests of

my compatriots,

neverto betray

the Ukrainian people.

Captain Konovalenko!

After lvanov you,

Konovalenko, have no choice.

Olga won't forgive you.

Captain Konovalenko!

Mikola, you promised to your

wife and in-laws.

They are not here now.

You have your house and

garden here.

You prefer naked sands and

polar night

and rachitis foryour kids?

Those willing to take a pledge

to Ukraine

- two steps forward.

The others follow me!

Yanychar, wait!

Hold your

people! It is an order!

You darned condom.

Orchestra!

Orchestra!

- 'Slav Girl Farewell'!

- Yes, sir!

The crew, march on!

I got frightened!

This is a pretty sham sinking!

I thought they were alive,

but they were all dead!

Shut up!

Why didn't you tell me the truth?

Where's the commander?

- Commander.

- You didn't tell me the truth!

You need the truth?

All right.

The third cell is flooded,

same as the second one.

If the first one is flooded

too,

we are the only survivors.

And ourturn will also

come soon...

You know:

'The world paid so little

attention to him

'that he considered

himself a dead man'.

What?

What are you going to do?

Will you bring here some light.

Give me a hand.

- Comrade captain...

- Here.

Wind gets stronger,

Turbulence 5 points. Visibility

reduced down to 5,5 km.

Continue the search

in the defined area.

Start sending signals in keeping

with the instructions.

Mukhambetov.

Have you taken the pliers?

What do you mean: 'where'?

In our language

it means 'yes'.

Roman cleans the debris,

Put the hardware on torpedoes.

Deryugin, how are you?

Those rooting for 'Spartak'

are never stuck.

'Spartak' is the champion!

We are all champions here.

- Let it be light!

- Mukhambetov, you are the best.

I wonder, lvan Alekseevich,

the boat is a mess, but

the eggs are intact.

They lie quietly

in their cells.

An egg is

the nature's mystery.

- The partition door is locked!

- Have you tried to open it?

I have. They did not let me

turn the rack gear.

- Have you knocked?

- Yes.

- So?

- They knocked me back.

Rap shall win!

- How many breathers do we have?

- Twelve.

- Twelve?

- Exactly.

Let us try it again:

You go first and I follow you.

Or vice versa.

We may knock, but I think

they will not let us in.

Why not?

By the Book, they've no right

to let us in.

I wonder why?

Because it is prohibited by SI!

Attention, I'm commander

of cell 3.

If you hear me, answer.

I repeat:

If you hear me, answer.

We hearyou very well.

We hearyou very well.

I am sailor Fresher.

It may be one-way

Communication.

If you hear me - give a knock.

How many of you are there?

Two, it seems.

Or he surfaced to get some air.

You have so many abbreviations:

HPA.

High pressure air.

- And SI?

- What do you need it for?

You never know.

Survival Instructions read:

No letting in.

- Categorically.

- Of course it's a risk, but...
