Dersu Uzala Page #2

---

Dersu and I will go on.

Unload.

Captain!

Us go back soon?

Me little scared.

Lake Khanka is not far.

We won't stay there long.

All right, Captain,

you see for yourself.

What is okay is okay.

Silence layover

the frozen reaches of the lake.

Some menace to humans

was lurking in this silence.

Captain!

Have to go back quick.

The wind cover our tracks.

Yes, yes, let's go.

Never mind, Dersu.

Now we'll know where we came from.

From there!

Captain!

Us weren't here. Bad!

Captain! Us lose road!

Road there.

But how do we get there?

There is water all around.

Captain! Sun is low.

Soon night come.

Night come, we die.

If the camp is close by,

they'll hear us.

We'll have to spend

the night here, Dersu.

It's dangerous to go on.

What shall we do?

Captain! Listen.

Listen good.

Have to work fast.

Us not work good, us die.

- What work?

- Cut grass.

Captain! Work fast!

Captain! Work fast!

Captain! Must hold grass!

Take rope!

Captain! Get up! Get up!

As the wind howled,

I sank into darkness.

I don't know how long I slept.

Hey, bear!

Climb out of den!

Sun is up!

Only then did I realize

what Dersu had done for me.

His witshad saved me.

Thank you, Dersu.

Thank you.

What would I have done without you?

Go together, work together.

No need thanks.

That's Olentiev!

From that point on...

our expedition became more difficult.

Let's go! Go!

Severe frost.

Exhaustion.

Hunger.

Man is very small

before the face of nature.

Forward! Forward! Don't stop!

Forward!

Captain!

Me find smell of smoke.

Udegheis are frying fish.

Thank you.

Captain.

Where go tomorrow?

We'll reach Chernigovka,

join our men there...

and then take the train

to Vladivostok.

Come with me.

It's nice and comfortable in town.

No, thank you.

Me cannot.

What me work in town?

Hunting, no.

Sable chase, no.

At least come to the station with me.

I'll get food

and some money for you there.

Me food, money not need.

Me now search sables.

Sables same money.

What's the matter, Dersu?

Me bad man.

Me want some cartridge.

Olentiev, give him

everything that's left.

Thank you, Captain.

Me tomorrow go straight ahead.

Four suns go.

Find Daubikhe...

then go Ulakhen...

then Fujin.

Me heard...

many, many sable there.

Deer too.

Me heard about it.

People around say.

Now me understand.

Good-bye, military men.

Farewell.

Good-bye, Dersu.

Maybe we'll meet again.

Good-bye, Captain.

Well...

Maybe we'll meet again.

Good-bye.

He's a fine man.

I never met anyone like him.

He's a rare man.

May God give him good health.

In the islands, the hunter

Roams all day long

But no luck for him

And he curses himself

What's he going to do

How is he to serve

He cannot be cheerful

So what

He'll try to aim better

So the hunter goes

To warmer waters

That spring...

once again I set out to traveI

across the Ussurii area.

Go! Go!

Where are you going?

To the left!

Careful! Look after the horses!

For three months, we have been

walking in the forest.

Spring in the forest

quickly gave way to summer.

We've explored a large area.

But if we had Dersu,

we'd have accomplished more.

All this time,

I was thinking with anticipation...

that maybe I would meet him again.

Where are you, Dersu?

Up the spring, go!

Faster, guys.

Bring the water.

Andriucha!

Throw up more branches!

What is taking so long?

Faster, faster! Don't smile!

And you said you would bring a boar!

Vladimir Pavlovich.

I met a hunter two miles from here.

He was asking about our unit-

who we are, who's the captain.

Did you tell him?

How could I, sir?

I know how to keep a military secret.

Eh, Turtygin, Turtygin.

Did he remain there?

No, sir. He started

to collect his backpack.

Vladimir Pavlovich!

Your rifle!

- Hello, Captain!

- Hello, Dersu!

You are my dear man.

You haven't changed at all, Dersu.

Haven't changed.

Haven't grown older.

You, my eagle with blue-black wings

Where have you been flying

for so long

How have you been these years?

Shot lots of sables?

Plenty.

- Get much money.

- Oh! That's good!

Only all this money go.

How come?

Rich trader me invite.

Much vodka.

Me give him money to keep for me.

After that, his men no where.

Why so?

Me don't understand.

You, my eagle with blue-black wings

Where have you been flying

for so long?

I was flying there over the mountains

Where it all was silence

Next morning,

the forest was shrouded in thick fog.

We were leading the way.

I was confident

because Dersu was now with me.

Dersu, what do you think?

Will the weather clear up?

Yes.

Earth and hill all sweating now.

Soon they'll get completely well.

Why are they lagging behind?

It's high time

they catch up with us.

Let us wait.

Me lost pipe.

Me think pipe be near.

Must go back.

How I lose pipe?

Either got old...

or my head got bad.

Look, Captain.

This is track tiger.

Him behind us go.

When us come here,

was not track on road.

Him close here.

When us stopped over there,

he was right here!

Me go back, tiger run away.

That is nothing, Captain.

Tiger never make big noise.

Excuse us, Captain, for lingering.

Two horses got stuck in the bog.

Is this your pipe, Dersu?

- What is it with you?

- There's a tiger nearby.

Hey, guys, careful!

A tiger's nearby!

Calm down!

Calm down, I say!

Come on, come on!

Again tiger go our track!

Why go behind?

What do you need, tiger?

What do you want?

Us go road, not bother you,

and you go behind!

Is there not enough space

in forest, tiger?

Let's go!

Why have you halted?

Looks like fallen trees there.

- Dersu, what's that?

- Ludiovo.

Ludiovo? And what's that?

Animals go to river, drink water.

Want to go round trunks and branches

and fall into pit.

They catch animals, sell the skins.

Detail several men to follow me.

Belonozhkin, Zagourskii, Zakharov,

Bochkariov, follow me.

Careful.

Look here.

Look in the other pits.

Go.

Sir! A doe and two reindeer there.

Already dead.

Pasha, what do you have there?

I found two pits.

Only carrion in there.

What about you, Andriucha?

I fell in myself!

Vasia! Vasia!

- What's there?

- I found a whole flaying house!

- Who did it?

- Bad Chinese did this.

Why leave ludiovo, but not fill holes?

Bad to kill animals for nothing.

Bring axes and hoes here!

What happened, Dersu?

Hounhous! Chinese bandits!

They make holes in my shirt,

and I make holes in theirs!

- How many are there?

- Eight.

Turtygin, two remain here.

The rest ofyou follow me.

They got away, the vipers.

Hounhous bad Chinese.

Bad.

Steal money, fur.

Steal wife, kill men.

Sir, here.

Hounhous steal three women.

Me not understand

what they do with men.

Turtygin!

Hey, guys, come here quick!

Much mosquito, horsefly there.

By night your face like this.

Then much pain.

Then die.

Good us found at daytime.

Very, very good.

All alive.

I'll kill those Hounhous!

Hounhous!

That Chang Pao, not Hounhous!

My name's Chang Pao.
