The Priest Page #3

---

That is why I know it will be hard.

But, do you have a fiancee?

- Sure I do.

Masha.

I don't have a fiance.

But I am not even beautiful.

What do you know, a little munchkin

and already requires a fiance.

Oh come on don't be upset.

Do you remember the story about

the ugly duckling?

Well, you see.

Who are you visiting in Zakat?

- The Father

The priest, you say? Wonderful.

Although, if I think about it, it was a miracle

that I got out of being surrounded.

The German, the German is a sausage,

on top of baked sauerkraut.

Son, be quiet, for the love of God.

Well, ready.

Here we are.

Now search for your priest,

I am in a hurry. Bye.

What is your name?

Lioska. Lugotintzev.

Be quiet, Hoary, it's me.

Masha...

Lioska.

Welcome in good health, soldier.

- Good health.

Good health. Hello, Kostean.

They killed Masha.

Go to bed.

True. The Germans shot her.

Hold this.

I wanted to do it myself, but the family...

Indeed, I only have four bullets.

What's this stupid thing?

Russian fashionable entertainment.

I know how it is used.

Looks like a hanging tree.

There are three ropes, we need three.

Lioska.

- You haven't told me, yes or no?

Well, Lioska, how can I say so fast?

Why do you love me?

Well, I don't know.

You're not like the others.

How?

- I don't know.

Well, yes or no?

Come on, Lugotintzev.

If I say "No"?

Then I will ask you why.

For example, because I got engaged

with somebody else.

With that policeman?

You are lying.

You have no fiance.

I know everything.

Everything, but not all.

What can I say, Know-it-all.

In the end, you will be mine anyway.

Because nobody will love you like I do.

Faster, faster, come on, faster!

More, are you asleep? Come on!

Lioska.

What's with you...

Come on! I want more!

What kind of carousel is this, there's no music!

Music! Come on!

Come on, faster! Comeon!

Lioska.

Attention.

Father Aleksander...

Oh Lord.

Nikolai Toroptzev found a bell.

One second! Don't blink.

One second!

Perfect!

- Isn't it?

OK, ready.

Thank God they haven't thrown it too far.

It only needs some cleaning.

- Father.

The bell will have a voice again.

- Ladybug.

Ladybug! Where are you coming from, heavenly being?

There, I came.

What year did they take it down?

- I think it was in the 30s...

Wait here.

Alia.

I'm thinking what to do with the map.

- Leave it alone now.

Alia, I...

My Jew-girl ran away to us.

What Jew-girl?

Daughter of Moisei, the one I baptized

at Tihii, remember?

How can I not remember. I remember.

All her relatives were killed by the

fascists, she is the only one remaining.

She was not baptized in vain.

You want to say, in fact, that, thank God, our house is big enough?

Yes.

Well, wellcome, Eva.

The daughter of Jerusalem...

The Germans are coming.

They are bringing a movie.

They are happy to see us?

- It looks so.

Hurray. Film.

The more we advance,

Europe understands better

the danger that

bolshevism (Russian communism) represents.

On June 22nd, 1941,

Germany was constrained to start

the fight against bolshevism...

Fights for extermination in the East.

After intense fighting,

the enemy was pushed back.

This day was transformed into a

great popular celebration.

The irresponsible bolshevik commandment

again and again, is sending

masses of people to certain death.

Why are you showing us these?

You want to trample on us definitively?

What are you talking about, Father Alexander.

This is part of my job.

Certainly, I am very worried with regards

to the fate of the prisoners.

It's madness.

Who will take care of them?

And there are more than two million.

Not far from here,

in Siraia Nizina (Humid Valley),

there is a concentration camp.

I am sincerely compassionate towards the prisoners.

They are suffering above any limit.

Almost without food.

Stalin has not signed the Convention,

and the international Red Cross

cannot intervene.

I love you, Helga. I love you so much.

You believe her? Without a doubt, Rudi.

If it's written "Forever yours",

it means that it is so.

Rudi, wait! Stop, Rudi!

Rudi, no!

Don't shoot!

Don't shoot, no...

Please, no.

Forever yours. Helga.

We are getting ready...

Vasiok, closer.

- Like so?

Pristavkin, where is my face?

And put the hands down.

Look at them taking a picture.

Bravo.

Whatch out so you won't fall off the bike.

Are we going to "engrave" ourself for

eternity or not, already?!

Why are you staring?

Atention, picture.

Open!

Wait.

He's a priest.

We have order to leave them alone.

What's this?

- I'm dying.

Stefan. It's you?

- Hi.

You're here too.

- It would seem so.

What are they feeding you here?

- Almost nothing.

To the side.

Give me the bucket.

Don't you understand? Work with song!

This is Kolika the crazy.

I take care of him.

Are you hungry?

Do you want to eat or not?

Then sing us something.

Work with a song.

- Come on, sing.

Russians like to sing when they're working.

- Yes, that is so.

Eat till you split open.

You had better leave, Father.

Split. Split.

Come on, leave. Do you want in there?

Food, drugs,

clothes...

Lord, have mercy on us, sinners.

Brothers, please leave one little piece for me.

There's the first round of snow in Pokrov.

Glory to Thee, oh Lord.

- Happy Holidays.

What a beauty.

Happy Holidays.

Grandma, why Pokrov?

(Covering)

"Covering" because the Mother of God

takes out her headcover and covers and

defends us all from enemies.

What do you know...

Well, Father Alexander,

are you treating me?

- I won it.

- Definitely.

What shall we do, Ivan Fiodorovici,

to bring to the prisoners

from the concentration camp

warm clothes and provisions?

Would it be possible?

It would...

But, Father Alexander, do you know how

to decode the USSR abbreviation?

Undo Stalin to Save Russia.

This... Father has cut

drawings for the children.

Learning material.

The children have grown,

but the little Father is not mature yet.

Cut.

What's this? Ivan Fiodorovici

The people are delighted, Father.

The defense of the Reds has fallen next to Moscow.

With no resistance.

The people from the capital are

enthusiastically welcoming the liberators.

What's going to happen, Sasenka?

Nothing, we will see...

Moscow... What's going on with Moscow...

As far as I remember, after the fire

it was rebuilt even more beautifully.

I have two bottles of samogonka.

Russian Schnapps.

What is it called, zamogonka?

-No-no, samogonka.

The best cure for the Russian winter.

Surrender!

- Erkentih.

Come here.

- Her com.

Stay still.

We will go crazy if we stay

without doing anything.

Attention.

I see, I hear.

Repeat, I didn't understand.

It's like a cadril (dance).

- Quiet, boys.

- Quiet.

Great cadrils we were having at the

club before the war...

Am I right, Lioska?

- Leave him alone.

Lioska.

Look, the priest.

He is going to church.

What a nice place it was before.

Films, music, dances.

OK, don't stray.

Aleksei, where are you going?
