We'll take the

children with a plane.

Time for you to go!

Can't rest for too long soon...

you won't be able

to get up at all.

Yes! I'm coming! Phil! Parker?

Katya? Katya?

Come here!

I got in line.

Come here, Katya! Come!

Come here!

Kate!

Kate!

Sonya!

Kate Davis?

Daily Telegraph?

You died in October.

You died too, Korneev.

No, only wounded.

Katenjka!

My God! And so,

all this time you were...

Get in the car.

There is flight to Moscow.

You are coming with me.

Get in the car.

No, no, no. You'll come with me.

This is fantastic.

I can't believe it!

My house. Stop the car!

Katya, we have no time.

You've missed it!

Stop the car! Stop now!

Katya! Where are you going, Katya?

I must get the children.

What children, Katenka?

You don't have children!

Ok, ok, ok, ok.

We'll get the children.

But not now, later!

Now we have to make the plane.

It won't wait for us!

No, you don't understand.

The children are not

hallucination, Korneev.

Maybe you are!

Come on! Pull him!

Come on, come on! Come on, guys!

Where is the Major?

Inside the cabin!

Fell in! Driver's with him!

Pull! Go!

Sanya, give me your hand!

Your hand!

Hang in there!

Go!

Nade, Sanya! Go!

You're sure you can't be mistaken?

Take a cigarette.

Comrade Commissar,

I was smitten with her.

So she is Ekaterina Gonzales now...

Yes. I saw her ID.

She's staying with the

actress Vozdvizhenskaya.

I tried to pull her out...

but she went on and on

about some children...

Okay, you can go now.

I'm ready to fly right now.

What?

Where?

To Leningrad.

We'd better get her

out or she'll die.

I'll take care of it.

Go now. Thanks.

Thanks for the information on time.

Go.

Korneev!

Comrade!

Comrade! My coupons!

Stop, man, stop!

If a person has nothing to eat,

except a tiny piece of bread...

he suffers severely at first.

But after a while

the pain becomes dull.

And turns into

listless indifference.

Suddenly, you find

yourself surrounded...

by obstacles you can't overcome.

The stairs are too stiff to climb.

The shelf too high to reach.

Too far to bend down to draw the

water from the hole in the ice.

All you want too do is lie down.

In Leningrad when people

say if someone, he lay down...

it means "it's the end".

The glue has flour in it.

False lead.

Yura, you think that

it's time to die?

Kate's Korneev hasn't come.

They probably shot down his plane.

Planes always get shot down.

It's my fault.

Why?

I gave Korneev the wrong address.

Anastasia's downstairs...

False lead.

Told you there was nobody here.

Down the door for nothing.

Not a false lead. No...

I want to know everything

about this actress.

I am clear?

Everything from the birth.

Friends, relatives, interests.

Whom she fucks and

what she prays to.

Nina hasn't come either.

She must be dead.

Otherwise she'd be here.

If we fall asleep and

leave the stove open...

we'll die from the fumes.

They say it is nice.

It gives you sweet dreams.

I guess Yura is right.

It's time to die...

Though, too bad we'll

waste our food coupons.

Should be able to

exchange somewhere.

Checkmate.

Show the documents.

Ladoga ski group families only!

I'm Ladoga group!

There you are.

Sure, you can go, go.

Okay, cool.

Mother! Let her go! Mother!

Ten trucks will convoy.

Five with ordnance

made in Leningrad.

The rest will take the...

families of the Ladoga skiers.

Our way of thanking them.

How many people are out there?

Major Tolkunov is dead.

Only 8 out of 36 people returned.

They will escort their families.

And then come back

with food supplies.

Good morning, Sir.

What?

I've found out

something interesting.

Vozdvizhenskaya had a maid.

Died recently.

Maid had a daughter,

Nina Tsvetkova, a cop.

From the same precinct

where the Brit spy disappeared.

She participated the

search for the English.

Easy, documents.

Say again,

whom do I connect you to?

It is not clear? Moscow.

Moscow. Newspaper Pravda.

Senior correspondent Korneev.

Telegraph is only for the military.

Now! I have orders!

She is twenty minutes late.

She'll be here, Sima, she'll come.

First, we will drive on ice.

Will it be really slow?

Depends on how much bombing...

And then they will

put us in an orphanage?

Don't worry about that now, Sima.

Let's just get ourselves out of here.

Comrade Captain!

May I be dismissed

for a few minutes?

Negative! We are about to line up.

I need to get my family!

Family? Aren't they here yet?

They need my help!

What are you talking about,

Tsvetkova!

Comrade Zhdanov is

about to make a speech!

Group! Fall in!

To leave today. Get up.

We can't wait for Nina

any longer. We are going.

Just a little rest.

No, Sima! We can't rest!

We must leave!

Sima, get up!

Get up, Sima!

That's an order! We must leave!

- The suitcase...

- Forget the damned suitcase!

Let's go!

Let's get to the table.

I have another idea.

Lean on!

Over my shoulder...

One, two, three...

Korneev!

Alive just with a walkingstick.

And you are leaving, I heard?

I think they no longer need

me here. They hardly let me work.

May be one more assignment?

I've got a word from Leningrad.

The route of life is opened.

First transport over

the lake comes tomorrow.

I can't even get out of this hotel.

Nobody will give me

papers to leave Moscow.

You need to be there.

KATE IN LAKE TOMORROW

BE THERE:

Korneev!

Go!

Korneev?

Is the Chief here?

No, sir, Comrade Major!

And Tsvetkova?

Tsvetkova?

She was transferred out.

Who moved?

Where to?

How would I know, sir?

When the Chief is back

he can tell you.

Come over here and rest

for a moment before we go.

Did I hurt you?

Is your head all right?

You told my mother...

she was killing me to save Sima.

You knew about that?

She had no choice.

As you don't have one now.

So, if you want to be kind,

be like our mother...

take Sima, put her on the sled.

No, I won't leave you here.

I can't...

What can you do?

Carry me down four floors?

Yes!

I'm staying too...

Sima...

I'm staying.

No, you are not staying!

No one is staying.

I promised you everything

will be all right. And it will!

Please, help Sima.

And me take me back

to the kitchen...

Nina!

Good day, sir!

Please, take my daughter with you.

Get her to the other side.

Leave her at an orphanage.

Tell them that her mother's gone.

What?

Zina gave all her food to Dasha.

Will you take her?

Come over here, Dasha.

Go.

That's my family.

So?

Go Dasha. God willing,

we'll see each other again.

You hold on!

Your documents.

Dad!

My daughter!

Dad!

You must be strong.

And I'll come for you. I promise.

Go to Aunt Nina, Hold on.

These are mine!

Katya!

Katya!

Nina! Nina!

Well, here we are.

Convoy! Stop! Open the boards!

Supply company! Quicker!

Medical orderly! Come here! Quicker!

Everybody, come to

the field kitchens!

Where is the convoy now?

There! Get to them immediately!

Okay, we can do it, then what?!

Check each and every one of them?!

Tomorrow she'll turn up
