00:37:54...
00:37:56...
00:37:58...
00:38:00Uko, do you know what it is to be in love?
00:38:12No, sir.
00:38:15It's a very tiring feeling for a long time.
00:38:21After a while, you feel the need to relax.
00:38:26What are you doing?
00:38:30I'm very surprised.
00:38:35I'm surprised myself.
00:38:38What would Sergius, the hero from the wedding, say if he saw me here now?
00:38:42What would Sergius, the apostle of supreme love, say?
00:38:46Uko, do you think I have a good figure?
00:38:50Let me go.
00:38:52No.
00:38:53Then at least you should move back so that no one can see us.
00:38:57Don't you understand?
00:38:59No, I have common sense.
00:39:01Someone could have seen me from some window.
00:39:04Mr. Narein is definitely spying on you.
00:39:06Watch out!
00:39:07Maybe I'm a greedy hypocrite who chases supreme love, but you...
00:39:11but you don't offend this love.
00:39:17Can I go back to my job, sir?
00:39:21You are a tempting little witch, Uko.
00:39:25You would spy on me if you fell in love with me.
00:39:29I don't need your kisses.
00:39:32You are all the same.
00:39:34You come to me behind the back of Mr. Narein,
00:39:37and she does exactly the same behind your back.
00:39:40What?
00:39:41Exactly.
00:39:42This shows how valuable your love is.
00:39:45Uko, if we are to continue talking,
00:39:48remember once and for all
00:39:50that a gentleman never talks about his fiancée with her servant.
00:39:53It's really hard to tell what a gentleman thinks is right and what is not.
00:39:57I thought that if you wanted to kiss me,
00:40:00you are not so sensitive again.
00:40:02Uko.
00:40:03Yes?
00:40:04Who is my rival?
00:40:06Tell me!
00:40:07You won't learn that from me.
00:40:10For any treasure in the world.
00:40:12But why?
00:40:13Everything has a reason.
00:40:15Then you would say that I told you and I would lose my place.
00:40:18Quiet!
00:40:20Who is this man?
00:40:22I don't know.
00:40:23I've never seen him.
00:40:25I only heard his voice
00:40:28through the door of her room.
00:40:30A hundred thousand devils!
00:40:32How dare you eavesdrop?
00:40:34No, it's nothing wrong.
00:40:36Besides, Mrs. Katarzyna knows everything.
00:40:38And I'll tell you something else.
00:40:40If this gentleman shows up here again,
00:40:43I don't care if he wants to or not.
00:40:46I know that.
00:40:48Because I know the difference between what you pretend here
00:40:52and true love.
00:40:55Ouch!
00:40:56It hurts!
00:40:57It doesn't hurt.
00:40:59You've hurt my honor
00:41:01by making me your accomplice in your evil deed.
00:41:04Besides, you betrayed your mistress.
00:41:06How can you eavesdrop?
00:41:09Let me go.
00:41:11You're a good combination of
00:41:13fraternity
00:41:15and servitude.
00:41:17Yes?
00:41:19I don't care.
00:41:20I hate her.
00:41:21And she's just a
00:41:23liar.
00:41:25I'm worth at least half a dozen people like her.
00:41:31I beg your pardon.
00:41:35A gentleman has no right
00:41:38to hurt a woman
00:41:40because of circumstances.
00:41:42Such apologies can
00:41:44please a lady.
00:41:46But what about me?
00:41:48What do you mean?
00:41:50Do you want money?
00:41:52I don't want any money.
00:41:59I want you to heal my wound.
00:42:01But how?
00:42:10Never.
00:42:16I'm ready, my love.
00:42:18I'm coming with you.
00:42:20Did you flirt with my wife?
00:42:22No, no.
00:42:23How can you say such a thing?
00:42:25Forgive me, my love.
00:42:27I'm so happy today.
00:42:29I'm sorry, my children,
00:42:31but my father is worried
00:42:33because of those three regiments.
00:42:35He doesn't know how to send them to Filippopolis.
00:42:37He rejects all my advice.
00:42:39He's in the library.
00:42:41When are we going for a walk?
00:42:43It won't take long.
00:42:45I'll be back in five minutes.
00:42:47They know that Swede.
00:42:49They know everything.
00:42:51The first thing your father asked for
00:42:53was the old surdut we made.
00:42:55Who are you talking about?
00:42:57To tell you everything.
00:42:59If I ever got my hands on him,
00:43:01I'd choke him with chocolates.
00:43:03What are you talking about?
00:43:05Tell me the truth.
00:43:07I don't know. I forgot.
00:43:09You don't forget things like that.
00:43:11Did he really show up
00:43:13after the officer left
00:43:15or was he in your room?
00:43:17No, no, no.
00:43:19I don't know.
00:43:21I think he was already there.
00:43:23When will you learn to tell the truth?
00:43:25If Sergius finds out,
00:43:27everything between you will be ruined.
00:43:29Sergius is your favorite.
00:43:31I'd rather you married him
00:43:33instead of me.
00:43:35You'd be his perfect wife.
00:43:37You'd pamper him like a mother.
00:43:39And I want to tell him
00:43:41or do something
00:43:43that would make him
00:43:45lose his balance.
00:43:47Something that would make him worse.
00:43:49I don't care if he knows
00:43:51about my chocolate soldier or not.
00:43:53I wish he knew.
00:43:55Excuse me.
00:43:57There's an officer here.
00:43:59I think he's Serbian.
00:44:01Serbian?
00:44:03In our country?
00:44:05How rude!
00:44:07I forgot that the war is over.
00:44:09If he's an officer,
00:44:11report him to the boss.
00:44:13But he asked about you.
00:44:15He doesn't even know
00:44:17your name,
00:44:19because he said
00:44:21he wants to see you at home.
00:44:23Here's a ticket for you.
00:44:27Captain Blundschli.
00:44:29It's a German name.
00:44:31No, it's Swiss.
00:44:35Swiss?
00:44:37What does he look like?
00:44:39He has a travel bag
00:44:41with him.
00:44:43Oh, my God!
00:44:45He's here to take his father's daughter back.
00:44:47Send him away.
00:44:49Tell him we're not at home.
00:44:51No, wait.
00:44:53Go and bring him here.
00:44:55But quickly.
00:44:57Are the library doors closed?
00:44:59I think so.
00:45:01If not, close them.
00:45:03Tell him to bring his bag here.
00:45:05His bag?
00:45:07Yes.
00:45:09Don't hesitate.
00:45:11Captain Blundschli.
00:45:17Captain Blundschli,
00:45:19I'm glad
00:45:21you're here,
00:45:23but you have to
00:45:25leave our house now.
00:45:27My husband has just returned
00:45:29with our future son-in-law.
00:45:31They don't know anything about him.
00:45:33If they found out,
00:45:35the consequences would be terrible.
00:45:37You're a foreigner.
00:45:39As a gentleman
00:45:41and a soldier,
00:45:43please leave our house
00:45:45before my husband sees you.
00:45:47But of course,
00:45:49I came to thank you
00:45:51and return the bag.
00:45:53I'll take it out
00:45:55and give it to the servant.
00:45:57I won't absorb my person any longer.
00:45:59No, no, no!
00:46:01I'm very grateful to you.
00:46:03I'm glad I could help you.
00:46:05Goodbye.
00:46:07Excuse me,
00:46:09my bag.
00:46:11I'll send it away.
00:46:13Please leave me your address.
00:46:15Yes, yes, yes.
00:46:17Dear Captain Blundschli.
00:46:19You're welcome.
00:46:21My stupid servant
00:46:23thought I was in the garden
00:46:25and not in the library.
00:46:27I saw you through the window.
00:46:29Why didn't you come inside?
00:46:31There's also Saranow here.
00:46:33Do you remember Saranow?
00:46:35We're not enemies anymore.
00:46:37I'm glad we're not enemies anymore.
00:46:39I hope you came with a visit
00:46:41and not because of prisoners or horses.
00:46:43Of course!
00:46:45I asked the Captain
00:46:47to have lunch with us
00:46:49but he said he had to be back soon.
00:46:51It's impossible.
00:46:53You fell from the sky.
00:46:55You have to help us.
00:46:57Send three cavalry regiments
00:46:59to the Philippopolis.
00:47:01I don't know how to do it.
00:47:03Look at him.
00:47:05He guessed it right away.
00:47:07I think I can tell you
00:47:09how to do it.
00:47:11Please follow me.
00:47:13My chocolate soldier.
00:47:19Raina,
00:47:21don't you see we have a guest?
00:47:23Captain Blundschli.
00:47:25One of our new
00:47:27Serbian friends.
00:47:29I'm sorry.
00:47:31I...
00:47:35I made...
00:47:37I made...
00:47:41I made a chocolate soldier
00:47:43this morning.
00:47:45I wanted to decorate his pudding
00:47:47but this drunken Santa
00:47:49put a hundred plates on him
00:47:51and he died.
00:47:55I hope,
00:47:57Captain Blundschli,
00:47:59you didn't think
00:48:01it was you.
00:48:03You know,
00:48:05I did.
00:48:07Your explanation
00:48:09calmed me down.
00:48:11When did you start
00:48:13making desserts?
00:48:15Since you left for the war.
00:48:17It's her latest passion.
00:48:19When did Santa start drinking?
00:48:21He wouldn't let himself before the war.
00:48:23First he takes the Captain to the garden
00:48:25even though he knows
00:48:27he's not a soldier.
00:48:29Then he goes to the kitchen
00:48:31and ruins the chocolate soldier's pudding.
00:48:33He had to mend himself well.
00:48:35Santa, have you gone mad?
00:48:37Me? Why?
00:48:39Why did you bring it here?
00:48:41You told me to.
00:48:43Me? Why did I tell you to ruin
00:48:45Captain Blundschli's pudding?
00:48:47Did it get in your head or what?
00:48:49I'm sorry, Captain.
00:48:51Get out of here, you Dardanelles!
00:48:53Yes, sir.
00:48:55Paul, calm down.
00:48:57Don't be mad at me.
00:48:59He was so angry when I wasn't at home.
00:49:01But since Saturday,
00:49:03he's been out of the house.
00:49:05I'll clean up the house.
00:49:07But nothing happened.
00:49:09I'll make a new pudding
00:49:11with two blackberries.
00:49:13Let's go, Captain Blundschli.
00:49:15But not a word about leaving.
00:49:17You know you can't go back to Switzerland.
00:49:19You'll stay with us
00:49:21as long as possible.
00:49:23Please stay with us.
00:49:25Please.
00:49:27Now it's your turn.
00:49:29Ask him nicely.
00:49:31Maybe he'll accept our invitation.
00:49:33But of course I'll be very happy
00:49:35if Captain Blundschli really
00:49:37wants to stay.
00:49:39He knows my wishes perfectly well.
00:49:41I'm at your disposal.
00:49:43Great. So you'll take care of the whole thing?
00:49:45Of course.
00:49:47And you see?
00:49:49You have to stay.
00:49:51Well,
00:49:53if I have to, I have to.
00:50:09Captain, are you sure
00:50:11I can't help you?
00:50:13Absolutely sure.
00:50:15Thank you. We'll leave in the morning.
00:50:17Yes, yes. We'll manage.
00:50:19I'll decide what to do.
00:50:21I'll issue the orders
00:50:23and I'll sign them.
00:50:25What else is there to sign?
00:50:27Oh, this hand.
00:50:29It's more like a saber than a pen.
00:50:31Captain Blundschli,
00:50:33it's very nice of you to
00:50:35let me help you.
00:50:37But I really couldn't ask you
00:50:39to help me with anything.
00:50:41Yes, you could, for example,
00:50:43not disturb me.
00:50:45Katarzyna, you didn't go through
00:50:47all this trouble.
00:50:49Sit down,
00:50:51have a good dinner
00:50:53and enjoy life.
00:50:55There's only one thing I lack.
00:50:57Full happiness.
00:50:59What's that?
00:51:01My old daffodil.
00:51:03You killed yourself with that old daffodil?
00:51:05I'm sure it's in the closet
00:51:07where you left it.
00:51:09But it's not there.
00:51:11I can believe my eyes.
00:51:13What's with you and this bell?
00:51:15That old, shabby sordut that Mr. Major usually wears at home.
00:51:18That's right, ma'am.
00:51:19Katarzyna.
00:51:20Paweł, listen.
00:51:20I will bet on every piece of jewellery that you choose in Sofia
00:51:24against the weekly expenses for the farm,
00:51:27that this sordut is not there.
00:51:28Ah, I accept the bet.
00:51:34Tell me, where did you find it?
00:51:36It was hanging in the wall closet, ma'am.
00:51:38Let it be clear!
00:51:39Paweł!
00:51:41Well, I could swear that it's not there.
00:51:44Old age is not a joy.
00:51:46I'm starting to hallucinate.
00:51:47Help me, please.
00:51:49Captain, please forgive me.
00:51:51Well!
00:51:52Finally, I feel like at home.
00:51:57This is the last order.
00:52:00Is that all?
00:52:01The job is done?
00:52:03It would be good if you met with the people
00:52:05who have to deliver these documents.
00:52:07You have to correct them as soon as possible
00:52:09and show them that on every order
00:52:11I wrote the time and date of delivery.
00:52:13If they stop at the pubs,
00:52:15at the chalice and at the galley,
00:52:16and delay for at least five minutes,
00:52:18the authorities will tear their belts off.
00:52:21I'll tell them that.
00:52:22And if one of them turns out to be a man enough
00:52:24to spit in my face for this insult,
00:52:26I'll buy him out of the service and give him a lifetime pension.
00:52:36Major, please make sure he talks to them properly.
00:52:39Of course, of course, Captain.
00:52:43Kasia, come with me.
00:52:46They will listen to you more than me.
00:52:48No doubt, you would only make a lot of noise.
00:52:56What kind of army is this?
00:52:57The cannons are made of cherry trees here,
00:52:59and the officers use their wives
00:53:01to maintain discipline.
00:53:03You look much more handsome
00:53:05than during our first meeting.
00:53:07What happened?
00:53:09Nothing.
00:53:10I washed up, brushed my teeth,
00:53:11ate breakfast and slept.
00:53:13That's all.
00:53:15Did you manage to get out of there safely?
00:53:18Yes, thank you.
00:53:21Your superiors were not angry with you
00:53:23for running away from the charge of Cavalry of Sergius?
00:53:26Of course not.
00:53:27They were satisfied,
00:53:28because they would do the same in my place.
00:53:31They must have had a great time
00:53:33with this story about me and my room.
00:53:38And you know it's a beautiful story.
00:53:42But I told it only to one man,
00:53:44my closest friend.
00:53:45You can count on his discretion.
00:53:49Indiscriminately.
00:53:50Exactly.
00:53:54He told the whole story to my father and Sergius.
00:53:59You must be joking.
00:54:00I'm not joking.
00:54:02Fortunately, they don't suspect
00:54:04that you hid in our house.
00:54:06If Sergius found out about it,
00:54:08he would call you for a duel
00:54:09and cut you into pieces.
00:54:12So don't tell him anything.
00:54:14I'm not joking, Captain Blunchly.
00:54:17You don't even know how much it costs me
00:54:19to deceive my own fiancé.
00:54:21I would like to be as pure as a tear in front of Sergius,
00:54:24so that there are no lies,
00:54:25lies and falsehoods between us.
00:54:28My attitude to him is the only beautiful,
00:54:30the only noble aspect of my life.
00:54:32I hope you understand what I'm saying to you.
00:54:35Dear lady, don't forget that I'm a soldier.
00:54:38Well, two things happen to a soldier so often
00:54:41that he finally begins to treat them as normal.
00:54:43One is constant listening to human lies,
00:54:46and the other is that people of all walks of life
00:54:50save his life in different ways.
00:54:56That's why a soldier
00:54:57becomes an entity unable to maintain faith,
00:55:01unable to be grateful.
00:55:03Do you like it when someone shows you gratitude?
00:55:06Because I don't.
00:55:07As much as compassion is close to love,
00:55:12gratitude is close to hatred.
00:55:15If you are not capable of gratitude,
00:55:19you are not capable of any noble feeling.
00:55:22Even animals know it.
00:55:23Now I know for sure what you think of me.
00:55:26I understand why you were not surprised by my lies.
00:55:28You think I just lie every day, every hour.
00:55:31This is a typical male view of women.
00:55:34Don't you understand that it offends me?
00:55:36I'm sorry, but please understand.
00:55:39When I look at you, when you take this noble pose
00:55:42and speak with your enchanting voice,
00:55:45I am enchanted by you.
00:55:48But I don't believe a single word you say.
00:55:51Captain Blomquist!
00:55:52Yes, ma'am?
00:55:56Do you really think as you say?
00:55:57Do you know what that means?
00:56:00Of course.
00:56:06So you think,
00:56:09you think that I lie?
00:56:13Me?
00:56:15Raina Petkov lies?
00:56:19How did you get to know me so well?
00:56:22Instinct, my dear. Instinct and knowledge of the world.
00:56:29He is the first person who doesn't take me seriously.
00:56:36You'd better tell him that I'm the first man
00:56:39who really takes you seriously.
00:56:42How nice to hear that.
00:56:44But do you know that I always wore,
00:56:48as you said,
00:56:51a noble pose and spoke with an enchanting voice?
00:56:54Even as a little girl.
00:56:55I enchanted my little girl, then my parents, Sergiusz.
00:56:58And he believes me, just like they do.
00:57:02Now he will surely despise me.
00:57:04But how? A thousand times no!
00:57:07After all, it's the expression of your youth in the day of charm.
00:57:11I believe you just like your little girl, Sergiusz's parents.
00:57:15I am your boundless admirer.
00:57:18Really?
00:57:19Hand out of heart.
00:57:20I swear to everything that pleases me.
00:57:23And what did you think when I gave you the photograph?
00:57:25Photograph?
00:57:27But you didn't give me any photograph.
00:57:30I put it in the pocket of that old sordid.
00:57:33And I didn't find it.
00:57:34In that case, it must still be there.
00:57:36How is it still in the pocket of the sordid?
00:57:37And my father, oh my God, oh my God,
00:57:39what will happen when he reaches out and finds it?
00:57:41How could you be so light-minded?
00:57:44Does it mean that you wrote something on it?
00:57:46It was very unreasonable.
00:57:48What did you do with the sordid?
00:57:49I left it in the pawnshop.
00:57:53You left the sordid of my father?
00:57:56That's right.
00:57:56Because I decided that this is the safest place.
00:57:59I bought it two days ago.
00:58:01You have the mind of a small shopkeeper.
00:58:06Your ideas would not have crossed the mind of a real gentleman.
00:58:13But the Swiss does.
00:58:18I regret that I met you at all.
00:58:29This is for you.
00:58:31The messenger is waiting.
00:58:34Thank you.
00:58:35I'm sorry, ma'am.
00:58:37I haven't received any mail for three weeks.
00:58:39That's why I took so much of it.
00:58:42Oh, some telegram.
00:58:49Bad news.
00:58:51Bad news?
00:58:54My father is dead.
00:58:58I'm so sorry.
00:59:03I'm sorry.
00:59:04I have to issue an order.
00:59:06I'm leaving tomorrow morning.
00:59:12This Swiss has no heart.
00:59:15Not a word of regret after the death of his father.
00:59:16Regret?
00:59:18Do you expect regret for a man who for years did nothing but kill people?
00:59:23Can he have a heart?
00:59:27Major Saranow also fought with the enemy.
00:59:29But it didn't make him a monster.
00:59:41I've been trying to catch you all afternoon.
00:59:43At least for a moment.
00:59:45What now?
00:59:47A new fashion orders you to wave one hand?
00:59:49My fashion.
00:59:51Look, look.
00:59:52When you see this, you'll learn to understand.
00:59:54It's not a reason for you to preach to me.
00:59:56Don't be so harsh.
00:59:58I have good news for you.
01:00:00You see these 20 lewys?
01:00:02I got them from Sergiusz.
01:00:04Totally for nothing.
01:00:06Such a gentleman.
01:00:08You can't keep stupid money.
01:00:10And here I have 10 more.
01:00:12This Swiss gave them to me to confirm the generosity of Mrs. Raina.
01:00:14I'll add 20 to our savings.
01:00:16And 10 is for you.
01:00:18But on one condition.
01:00:20That you'll talk to me like to a human.
01:00:22Because sometimes I'm sorry to be just a servant.
01:00:24You think that if you sold yourself for 30 lewys,
01:00:26you'll buy me for 10?
01:00:28Take your money.
01:00:30When you open your shop,
01:00:32you'll stop being just a servant of one country.
01:00:34You'll be a servant of all.
01:00:36You were born to be a servant.
01:00:38And I'm not.
01:00:40Wait a minute.
01:00:42I'm not a servant.
01:00:44I'm not a servant.
01:00:46I'm not a servant.
01:00:49Wait a minute.
01:00:51And you'll see.
01:00:53We'll have all evenings for ourselves.
01:00:55And I can be a real master of the house.
01:00:57You'll see.
01:01:01But not mine.
01:01:05You aim high, girl.
01:01:07But if you're lucky,
01:01:09remember that I made a man out of you.
01:01:11Oh, you!
01:01:13And who?
01:01:15Who forbade you to wear two pounds of fake black cloaks on your head?
01:01:17To paint your lips and cheeks red?
01:01:19Like the first, best Bulgarian girl.
01:01:21Me?
01:01:23Who taught you to wash your hands,
01:01:25cut your nails,
01:01:27and take care of your looks?
01:01:29Like a Russian lady?
01:01:31Me?
01:01:33Me?
01:01:35Give me a break.
01:01:37Stop talking nonsense.
01:01:39Set the stove on fire,
01:01:41because that's what you're good at.
01:01:43I'm not interrupting.
01:01:45As soon as I catch some free time,
01:01:47I rush to the library
01:01:49to get to some book.
01:01:51Education is not for her.
01:01:53It creates habits over her condition.
01:01:55Set the table for Mr. Major.
01:02:07Let me see.
01:02:09Is there any trace left?
01:02:11Does it hurt?
01:02:13Do you want me to cure it?
01:02:15No, not now.
01:02:17Please don't play with me.
01:02:19An officer shouldn't play with a servant.
01:02:21These were not toys.
01:02:23Do you regret shouting at me?
01:02:25I never regret anything.
01:02:29I can't believe that a man
01:02:31can be so different from a woman.
01:02:33I wonder if you really
01:02:35are so brave.
01:02:37Yes, I am brave.
01:02:39When the first shot was fired,
01:02:41I realized that I really am brave.
01:02:43Łuko, I'm sure I'm brave.
01:02:45Oh, it's just a talk.
01:02:47A man is never an adult.
01:02:49He always thinks like a stork.
01:02:51You have no idea
01:02:53what real bravery is.
01:02:55Oh, please.
01:02:57Do you want to enlighten me?
01:02:59If I were the Tsar of Russia,
01:03:01the most important person in the world,
01:03:03then...
01:03:05Although, in your opinion,
01:03:07I couldn't be brave,
01:03:10then...
01:03:12What would you do?
01:03:14What would I do?
01:03:18I would marry a man
01:03:20whom I would love.
01:03:22I would do what
01:03:24no queen in Europe has the courage to do.
01:03:26If I loved you,
01:03:28even if you were so much lower
01:03:30than me,
01:03:32I wouldn't hesitate.
01:03:34I would have the courage
01:03:36to treat you as equal.
01:03:38Would you dare to do that to me?
01:03:40Even if you loved me?
01:03:42Of course not!
01:03:44If you felt
01:03:46that your love for me would awaken,
01:03:48you would kill her in the womb
01:03:50because you would lose your courage.
01:03:52You would marry the daughter of a rich man
01:03:54out of fear
01:03:56of what people would say.
01:03:58You're lying.
01:04:00I swear that if I loved you,
01:04:02I would put you
01:04:04next to me on the throne
01:04:06just like the queen herself.
01:04:08You know very well that I love another woman
01:04:10who is much higher than you,
01:04:12as high as the sky is higher than the earth.
01:04:14And you, silly girl,
01:04:16are you jealous of her?
01:04:18I have no reason to be jealous of her.
01:04:20But she will never marry you.
01:04:22The man I was talking about
01:04:24has returned and she will become his wife.
01:04:26A Swiss.
01:04:28A Swiss?
01:04:30This man is worth ten men like you.
01:04:32Then you will come to me
01:04:34and I will show you the door
01:04:36because you are not worth me.
01:04:40I will kill the Swiss and do whatever I want with you.
01:04:42Or maybe the Swiss will kill you,
01:04:44win you in love
01:04:46and maybe he will win you in a fight on a saber.
01:04:48You silly girl, you think I believe you?
01:04:50You think that she,
01:04:52whose worst thoughts are the best of your best,
01:04:54that she,
01:04:56that she could play with another man
01:04:58with the same back?
01:05:00That she would believe the Swiss
01:05:02and now I am in your arms?
01:05:07Hell.
01:05:09There is treachery everywhere.
01:05:11Every move of mine,
01:05:13every thought of mine.
01:05:15Łuko?
01:05:17Yes?
01:05:19You are mine.
01:05:21What?
01:05:23What does it mean?
01:05:25You are flirting with me again?
01:05:27It means that you love me,
01:05:29that I held you in my arms
01:05:32in the middle of Bulgaria.
01:05:36If I hug you one more time
01:05:40it will be as I promised.
01:05:42We will see
01:05:44if you will find the courage
01:05:46to keep your word.
01:05:48But be careful
01:05:50because I am not going to wait long.
01:05:52We will see.
01:05:54You will wait as long as I like it.
01:06:02It is a very pretty girl.
01:06:04Captain!
01:06:06Blond Shlee.
01:06:08Surak.
01:06:12You cheated on me.
01:06:14I found out that you are my rival
01:06:16and I do not tolerate rivals.
01:06:18At six o'clock I will be waiting for you
01:06:20at the Mushtry Square by Surak's street.
01:06:22Alone!
01:06:24And with my sabre.
01:06:26Don't you understand?
01:06:28Yes, I understand.
01:06:30Yes, I understand
01:06:32and I thank you for the honor.
01:06:34You are a cavalryman, right?
01:06:36I serve in artillery
01:06:38and as a challenger
01:06:40I have the right to choose a weapon
01:06:42if I fight with a heavy machine gun.
01:06:44This time there will be no mistakes
01:06:46regarding the ammunition.
01:06:48Dear sir!
01:06:50Please be careful.
01:06:52In Bulgaria
01:06:54you are not allowed
01:06:56to make such a challenge.
01:06:58I don't know what a fight is
01:07:00but let it be as you wish.
01:07:02I accept your challenge.
01:07:04Please go for the sabre.
01:07:08Bravo, Swiss!
01:07:10I will serve you with my best horse.
01:07:14I don't give a damn about your horse.
01:07:18But thank you very much for the offer.
01:07:20I intend to fight with you on foot.
01:07:22A horse fight is too dangerous
01:07:24and I would rather not kill you.
01:07:26I heard what captain Blunt said
01:07:28so why are you going to fight alone?
01:07:30I don't know.
01:07:32He didn't tell me that
01:07:34but it's better not to interfere.
01:07:36Everything will be fine.
01:07:38I used to be a fencing instructor.
01:07:40I won't even let him get close to me
01:07:42and I won't hurt him either.
01:07:44I'm leaving tomorrow morning
01:07:46and you won't see me again.
01:07:48Then you will get along
01:07:50and you will live happily
01:07:52until old age.
01:07:54Is this supposed to be
01:07:56a loving confession?
01:07:58What are you talking about?
01:08:00You love this man.
01:08:02You let him come to you
01:08:04behind my back
01:08:06and you treat me
01:08:08like an official engaged man
01:08:10behind his back.
01:08:12Blunt!
01:08:14Blunt, you knew
01:08:16what connects me with Raina
01:08:18and yet you came to her
01:08:20and for that I call you
01:08:23Stop talking nonsense.
01:08:25It doesn't concern me at all.
01:08:27You don't even know
01:08:29if I'm married.
01:08:31Are you married?
01:08:33You see, captain Blunt,
01:08:35how my fiancée was worried
01:08:37so please don't deny it.
01:08:39You experienced
01:08:41her special reasons
01:08:43and that young lady
01:08:45took you in late at night
01:08:47in her room.
01:08:49Yes, she took me
01:08:51I would have smashed her head
01:08:53if she made the slightest sound.
01:08:55Your cavalry was on my trail.
01:08:57Raina, tell me, tell me
01:08:59if this is true.
01:09:01How dare you ask me that?
01:09:03Apologize.
01:09:05Apologize to her right now.
01:09:07But I never
01:09:09apologize to anyone.
01:09:14It's all your friend's work,
01:09:16captain Blunt.
01:09:18He's the one spreading
01:09:20No, it's nonsense.
01:09:22My friend is dead.
01:09:24Raina, you're wrong.
01:09:26It's not your unfortunate friend
01:09:28who was my informant.
01:09:30So who?
01:09:34Luka?
01:09:36My maid?
01:09:38Oh, yes.
01:09:40This morning
01:09:42you spent an hour with her
01:09:44and then
01:09:46oh God,
01:09:48I loved him so much.
01:09:50This morning I went upstairs
01:09:52and looked out the window
01:09:54to look at my hero.
01:09:56Then I saw something
01:09:58I couldn't understand.
01:10:00And now I know
01:10:02you're in love with him.
01:10:04Raina!
01:10:06Did you see that?
01:10:08Yes.
01:10:10And so, my dear,
01:10:12our romantic love is over.
01:10:14Life is a farce.
01:10:16I'm not going to fight you.
01:10:18Do you know why?
01:10:20No, and I don't want to know.
01:10:22I didn't ask for a reason
01:10:24when you called me
01:10:26and now when you call me
01:10:28I don't care.
01:10:30I'm a professional soldier.
01:10:32I fight when I have to.
01:10:34I'm happy when it's not necessary.
01:10:36And you, you're an amateur.
01:10:38For you, fighting is fun.
01:10:40Despite that, my professional soldier,
01:10:42I'll tell you, I'll tell you,
01:10:45for a real fight you need
01:10:47two men, real men,
01:10:49people of blood, honor and bones.
01:10:51And you!
01:10:53I mean, I couldn't fight you
01:10:55the same way I couldn't fight an ugly woman.
01:10:57You're not a man, you're...
01:11:01You're a machine.
01:11:03That's true.
01:11:05I'm sorry, but I've always been like that.
01:11:07And in this farce.
01:11:09All right, and now you know
01:11:11that life is not fun,
01:11:13and I think
01:11:15that nothing could stop your happiness.
01:11:17Forget it, Captain.
01:11:19His new love
01:11:21is Luka.
01:11:23He shouldn't fight with you,
01:11:25but with his rival, Mikołaj.
01:11:27With his rival, Mikołaj?
01:11:29Don't you know that Mikołaj
01:11:31and Luka are engaged?
01:11:33Luka and Mikołaj?
01:11:35Oh, my God,
01:11:37that's a terrible surprise.
01:11:39You can let that Sergiusz
01:11:41Such a girl as Łukasz has wasted her beauty, her intellect, all of it
01:11:46is to rot in a marital yoke with an aging servant.
01:11:49No, Sergiusz, you can't allow it.
01:11:52It would be unworthy of your knighthood.
01:11:55A snake, a real snake.
01:11:58Major Saranow, be careful, because you will lose this case.
01:12:02Do you realize, Captain Blumschlitz, what this man has done?
01:12:05He persuaded this poor girl to spy on us,
01:12:08and as a reward, he asked her to marry him.
01:12:12Nonsense.
01:12:13Nonsense?
01:12:15Can you deny that Łukasz told you that Captain Blumschlitz
01:12:18was hiding in my room?
01:12:20No, I can't.
01:12:21Can you deny that you asked her to marry you?
01:12:23Listen to me.
01:12:24But don't say anything else.
01:12:26That's enough for us.
01:12:27I told you that you would lose this case.
01:12:31I have the impression, Captain Blumschlitz,
01:12:33that you look at us like at a couple of big children.
01:12:37Yes, yes, for sure.
01:12:40But the Swiss Civilisation, like a good nanny,
01:12:42will take the Bulgarian barbarism by the hand
01:12:45and will lead them to the path of virtue, right?
01:12:48Ladies and gentlemen, let's stop arguing.
01:12:51Let's discuss this case in a friendly way.
01:12:53Where is that other young lady?
01:12:55She's probably eavesdropping at the door.
01:12:57False.
01:12:58False enough.
01:13:00I will prove right away that at least this is false.
01:13:07Captain Blumschlitz?
01:13:10Let her judge.
01:13:11She was indeed eavesdropping.
01:13:14But why?
01:13:15I have no right to do that.
01:13:16I used to eavesdrop under the tent where the soldiers were talking.
01:13:19It was a matter of life or death.
01:13:22My life.
01:13:23But I'm not ashamed at all,
01:13:24because it's a matter of my love.
01:13:26Love?
01:13:27Yes.
01:13:28Do you want to say chivalry and curiosity?
01:13:30You're wrong, ma'am.
01:13:31It's about my love.
01:13:32But you won't understand it,
01:13:33because you can't love like I do.
01:13:36Not even your chocolate soldier.
01:13:38I'm sorry, ladies and gentlemen,
01:13:39for my incomplete attire.
01:13:41Someone had to put on my old uniform.
01:13:44It cracked under my armpits.
01:13:45Your mother is sewing it now.
01:13:48Did something happen?
01:13:49No.
01:13:50No, no, nothing happened.
01:13:51Nothing, nothing.
01:13:52That's very good, very good.
01:13:53Luko, go to the lady and ask for my uniform.
01:13:56But with a feather, because I'm cold.
01:13:57The uniform is already there.
01:13:58Give it to me, Mikołaj.
01:13:59I'm going to the oven.
01:14:00What?
01:14:01Do you want to be good for your old father,
01:14:03who came back from the war?
01:14:04At least for one day.
01:14:05That's what your father says, too.
01:14:07When my child is joking.
01:14:08Give me a kiss.
01:14:10Now, quickly.
01:14:11No, no, no.
01:14:12I'll help my father.
01:14:13Please turn around.
01:14:19So?
01:14:21Is it nice now?
01:14:22Very nice.
01:14:23Thank you.
01:14:25I found something funny here.
01:14:27I'd like to know what it is.
01:14:29Dolich.
01:14:31Could I sit down?
01:14:32Oh, your mother took it.
01:14:34What did she take?
01:14:35Your photo with the inscription
01:14:37Raina to her chocolate soldier as a souvenir.
01:14:40There's something more in it than it seems,
01:14:42but we'll find out in a moment.
01:14:44Mikołaj, did you break Raina's chocolate decoration for the cake this morning?
01:14:50Mr. Major heard Mrs. Janka say that I broke it.
01:14:53I heard, idiot, but then is it true?
01:14:56I'm sure Mrs. Janka couldn't tell a lie.
01:14:59Are you sure?
01:15:00Yes.
01:15:01And I'm not.
01:15:03Sergiusz, are you this chocolate soldier?
01:15:06Me?
01:15:08Chocolate soldier, what an idea.
01:15:11In that case, Raina meant some other man.
01:15:15Mr. Major!
01:15:17I'm talking about me.
01:15:19I am this chocolate soldier.
01:15:21Mrs. Raina was kind enough to save my life.
01:15:23She treated me to chocolates with mint filling.
01:15:27I still remember their taste.
01:15:29My friend Nieboszczy told you this story.
01:15:32I am this chocolate soldier.
01:15:34Sergiusz, do you remember how those two girls behaved this morning
01:15:38when we mentioned this story?
01:15:40She was nice to you.
01:15:42Major Saranów changed his mind about me.
01:15:45When I signed those photos,
01:15:47I didn't know that Captain Blum III was married.
01:15:51But I'm not married.
01:15:54You said so yourself.
01:15:55Nothing like that.
01:15:56I've never said anything like that.
01:15:58I'm married and I've never been married.
01:16:00Maybe you want to tell me
01:16:02which of those two gentlemen you're engaged to?
01:16:07No, no.
01:16:08This girl is now an object of Major Saranów's interest.
01:16:14Luka?
01:16:15Sergiusz, are you crazy?
01:16:17She's Mikołaj's fiancée.
01:16:20Mr. Major, I'm sorry, but Luka is not my fiancée.
01:16:23She's not your fiancée?
01:16:25Then what right do you have to take 20 pounds from me
01:16:28on the occasion of your engagement?
01:16:30And Luka got a golden bracelet from Raina?
01:16:33We made a deal with each other,
01:16:35but only so that Luka would have a guardian.
01:16:37She's tall, and I only help her.
01:16:39Mr. Major knows that I intend to open a shop in Sofia,
01:16:42so I hope that if I manage to marry a rich nobleman,
01:16:45he will be my main client and recommend me to another house.
01:16:49Up to 100,000 pieces!
01:16:53It's incomprehensible.
01:16:56This is either the most beautiful sacrifice
01:16:58or the most despicable meanness.
01:17:00What is this, Captain?
01:17:01Mikołaj is the most talented man I've ever met in Bulgaria.
01:17:05If he learns to speak French and German,
01:17:07I'll make him the director of the hotel.
01:17:09Yes.
01:17:10Everyone insulted me here.
01:17:12You gave them an example, and now you have to apologize to me.
01:17:14No problem.
01:17:15He never apologizes to anyone.
01:17:17Maybe not to you, because you're his enemy
01:17:19and a man equal to his position,
01:17:21but to me, a poor servant, he will certainly apologize.
01:17:24You're right.
01:17:26Please forgive me.
01:17:28I forgive you.
01:17:30This kiss makes me your fiancée.
01:17:38What's going on here?
01:17:40You see, my dear,
01:17:41Sergius wants to marry Luka, not Reina.
01:17:44Just don't blame me.
01:17:46I'm not involved in this.
01:17:47You want to marry Luka?
01:17:50Sergius, you're bound by your word!
01:17:52I'm never bound by my word.
01:17:55Saranov, congratulations.
01:17:57It turns out that your declamations are just a cover.
01:18:01Basically, you're a practical man.
01:18:04Please accept my best wishes from a good republican.
01:18:09Luka, you've done something!
01:18:11But I didn't hurt Reina.
01:18:15Reina?
01:18:16If she calls me Luka,
01:18:18I think I have the right to call her Reina.
01:18:19I just told Sergius that she would never marry him
01:18:22if that Swiss gentleman came back.
01:18:26Excuse me?
01:18:27It seemed to me that you were avoiding him from Sergius.
01:18:30This is nonsense!
01:18:32I assure you, Mr. Major, and you, Miss,
01:18:34that Mrs. Reina saved my life.
01:18:36That's all.
01:18:37Besides, she didn't pay any attention to me at all.
01:18:39Just look at her and at me.
01:18:42She's young, rich, beautiful,
01:18:44dreaming of princes from fairy tales,
01:18:46noble knights, chariots, cavalry,
01:18:48and God only knows what else.
01:18:50And I'm a simple Swiss soldier
01:18:52who, after 15 years of war and barracks,
01:18:55has almost forgotten what real life is.
01:18:58A vagabond who has missed his chance at life
01:19:01because of his incurable romantic disposition.
01:19:05A man...
01:19:06Wait a minute.
01:19:08Why did you miss your chance at life, Captain?
01:19:13Because of my incurable romantic disposition.
01:19:19I could have studied in a hotel,
01:19:21but instead I became a professional soldier.
01:19:23I clung to the balcony of this house
01:19:25while every sensible man
01:19:27was digging his way to the first cellar.
01:19:33I came back here to look at this young lady again
01:19:39instead of sending this vagabond through my mind.
01:19:43My vagabond?
01:19:44That's right.
01:19:45Do you suppose, gentlemen,
01:19:47that a young lady like me could fall in love?
01:19:50Besides, what's the difference in age?
01:19:52I'm 34 years old,
01:19:53and Miss Reina is probably not much older than 17.
01:19:56This whole adventure was a matter of life or death for me,
01:19:59and a retirement entertainment for her.
01:20:02Chocolates with mint filling and hidden fun.
01:20:07This is the best proof.
01:20:10Tell me,
01:20:11would a young lady who would take this matter seriously
01:20:14send a photograph with the inscription
01:20:17Reina to her chocolate soldier as a souvenir?
01:20:22That's what I was looking for.
01:20:24Ulicha, how did you get here?
01:20:27I hope I saved what I could.
01:20:30Yes.
01:20:31I agree with everything you said about yourself.
01:20:35You're a romantic idiot.
01:20:38Next time, maybe you'll be able to distinguish
01:20:41a 17-year-old pensioner from a 23-year-old woman.
01:20:46Heinz Franzich?
01:20:48Yes.
01:20:51Twenty-three years.
01:20:53In that case, please, Major Petkov,
01:20:55I formally swear by your daughter's hand
01:20:58that I wish to take the place of Major Saranow,
01:21:00who, please, withdraw.
01:21:02How dare you?
01:21:03Well, since everything you told me this morning
01:21:06came out of the mouth of a 23-year-old woman,
01:21:09I am allowed to take these words seriously.
01:21:14I doubt whether you realize
01:21:17the position of my daughter, Major Saranow,
01:21:20whose place you intend to take.
01:21:23The Petkovs and Saranows
01:21:25belong to the richest and most famous
01:21:28in the whole country.
01:21:29Our name is almost historical.
01:21:31We have a tradition of good 20 years behind us.
01:21:34Reina got used to living in a big house.
01:21:37Sergiusz has 23 horses.
01:21:40Why would we need 23 horses?
01:21:42We're not going to run a circus.
01:21:44My daughter, dear sir,
01:21:45got used to using a first-rate stable.
01:21:49Mom, are you making fun of me?
01:21:50As for my life situation,
01:21:52I'll explain everything to you in a moment.
01:21:54How many horses do you have?
01:21:55Twenty-three, noble Swiss.
01:21:58And I have 200.
01:21:59And how many stables do you have?
01:22:01Three.
01:22:02I have 70.
01:22:03And how many stables do you have?
01:22:04How can I know?
01:22:064,000?
01:22:07No, no, where...
01:22:08That's all I have.
01:22:09I also have 9,865 pairs of blankets
01:22:13and 6 radios,
01:22:156,000 fur coats,
01:22:1710,000 knives and forks,
01:22:20and the same amount of spoons.
01:22:22I employ 300 people.
01:22:25I own six elegant hotels,
01:22:28four gardens,
01:22:29and a private residence.
01:22:31Besides, I received four medals
01:22:33for outstanding services in the field of combat,
01:22:35the rank of an officer,
01:22:36and the position of a gentleman.
01:22:38I speak three native languages.
01:22:41Please show me a man in Bulgaria
01:22:44who could be equal to me.
01:22:46Are you the king of Switzerland?
01:22:50No.
01:22:51I have the highest dignity
01:22:53that Switzerland has to offer.
01:22:55Please show me a free citizen.
01:23:02Well, Captain Bluntschli,
01:23:07since my daughter's choice is yours,
01:23:10I will not object to her happiness.
01:23:14Major Petkov,
01:23:17I feel the same as I do.
01:23:19Of course, of course.
01:23:23Something like that.
01:23:25And what about Mrs. Raina?
01:23:27Mrs. Raina?
01:23:29Mrs. Raina will say
01:23:31that she would like to keep her
01:23:33fur coats and omnibuses.
01:23:35I will not be the property of the one
01:23:37who gives more,
01:23:38and the subject of a bid.
01:23:40And I do not accept this answer.
01:23:42I appealed to your heart
01:23:43as a conversation,
01:23:44as a man dying of hunger.
01:23:46You did not betray me.
01:23:47You gave me a hand to kiss,
01:23:49a bed to rest,
01:23:50a roof over my head.
01:23:51But I did not offer all this
01:23:52to the king of Switzerland.
01:23:54That's what I'm saying.
01:23:56And now tell us
01:23:57who you offered it all to.
01:24:01To my chocolate soldier.
01:24:06Thank you, that's enough for me.
01:24:10Major, it's time for you.
01:24:12You handled the case of these three regiments
01:24:14so well that I will definitely ask you
01:24:16to get rid of a certain number of people
01:24:18from the Timok division.
01:24:19Oh, and one more thing.
01:24:22Major Saranow,
01:24:23don't get married
01:24:24until I come back.
01:24:25I will be here in two weeks from Tuesday,
01:24:27at exactly five o'clock.
01:24:45Have a nice coffee, sir.
01:24:47See you.
01:24:53What kind of man is this?
01:24:56If he really is a man.
01:25:15¶¶
01:25:44¶¶
