00:01:00["Pomp and Circumstance"]
00:01:30["Pomp and Circumstance"]
00:01:35We were standing in a small town.
00:01:38We knew what the life of an officer in the garrison was like.
00:01:41From the morning of the exercise, a manner,
00:01:43a meal at the commander of the regiment or a nearby tavern,
00:01:46and in the evening, a punch and a card.
00:01:49We were gathering at each other's,
00:01:51where we saw nothing but uniforms.
00:01:54Only one man belonged to our company,
00:01:57not being a soldier.
00:02:00He was 35 years old and his name was Sylwio.
00:02:12A certain mystery entangled his fate.
00:02:15He once served in the Hussars
00:02:18and no one knew the reason why he wanted to resign.
00:02:21He constantly humiliated the officers of our regiment,
00:02:25while the punch and champagne flowed in streams.
00:02:35No one knew about his wealth or his income
00:02:38and no one dared to ask him about it.
00:02:42He had books,
00:02:45mostly military content and romances.
00:02:49He gladly gave them to read,
00:02:52never asking for anything in return.
00:02:56His main occupation was to shoot a gun.
00:03:02The art he achieved was extraordinary.
00:03:22Gunshot
00:03:32We often talked about fights in the regiment.
00:03:37But he never intervened in the conversation.
00:03:41When asked if he ever fought,
00:03:44he simply replied that it happened to him.
00:03:52We thought that he had some kind of sacrifice
00:03:55of his terrible skills.
00:03:59Besides, we couldn't even imagine
00:04:02suspecting him of being a shadow of cowardice.
00:04:08But a certain accident surprised us all.
00:04:12Do you know, Ljubama,
00:04:16how much I love you?
00:04:22And your love for me
00:04:26is as strong as the sea.
00:04:30Do you know, Ljubama,
00:04:34how much I love you?
00:04:37And your youth
00:04:41is like a blooming flower.
00:04:46What a delight it is to dream of a woman!
00:04:50Love? Who will understand it?
00:04:54It was the subject of vulgar operas.
00:04:58We officers did it.
00:05:02I met a wonderful woman once in my life,
00:05:05but she stopped loving me
00:05:08because I was drinking.
00:05:11Or maybe she was drinking because she stopped loving you!
00:05:16Guźma!
00:05:29Thank you, Guźma.
00:05:35Thank you, Guźma.
00:06:00I made a mistake.
00:06:04Now I just have to hang myself.
00:06:09I don't know what to do.
00:06:12I've lost everything.
00:06:15I think I'll go home.
00:06:18It's a free road.
00:06:21Just a moment.
00:06:24Please don't be angry.
00:06:28Sylwia is sitting on a cart.
00:06:31She's as strong as a horse.
00:06:36Miska, be careful.
00:06:39Don't look for Guza.
00:06:42Sylwia will scare him.
00:06:45It's not a big deal. He's a master.
00:06:48Maybe he was.
00:06:51Give me your hand.
00:06:55Don't worry about the rest.
00:07:00Let me ask you one more time.
00:07:06What will fate bring me?
00:07:15Miska, don't be shy.
00:07:18Show us what it means to face a master.
00:07:22Here you are.
00:07:34I'll hold the can.
00:07:37Fire!
00:07:41Be quiet.
00:07:48Do you know that whistling pays off?
00:07:51We don't have money for whistling.
00:07:54Be quiet!
00:08:01He's speechless.
00:08:11I'll tell you something, Miska.
00:08:14It's time for me to go.
00:08:17Double the bet.
00:08:20I have a feeling
00:08:23that either now
00:08:26or never.
00:08:29I'm doubling the bet.
00:08:33I'm doubling the bet.
00:08:40You're playing very bravely.
00:08:43I'm playing for everything.
00:08:48I'm betting.
00:09:02I'm betting.
00:09:22Damn it!
00:09:25You lost.
00:09:28Give me 300 rubles.
00:09:31Do you want to play epaulettes?
00:09:34I got the epaulettes with honor.
00:09:37And their price, like mine,
00:09:40is very high.
00:09:43I think you don't have enough money.
00:09:49I think my friend's hand
00:09:52will be luckier for me.
00:09:55The one who is lucky in the game
00:09:58is in love with his wife.
00:10:04I'm sorry, sir.
00:10:07I'm going to bring some wine.
00:10:10A loss of wine will add a spirit.
00:10:13As the old saying goes.
00:10:16Maybe we should restart the game.
00:10:19The servant can bring the wine.
00:10:22My kuzma can't read.
00:10:28I'd like to treat you to some old Polish honey.
00:10:53A beautiful collection.
00:10:57And the owner is doing well.
00:11:00Judging by the holes in the walls and ceilings.
00:11:03He's the best shooter I know.
00:11:06We didn't have a better one.
00:11:09Sometimes, when he saw a fly on the wall,
00:11:12he immediately shouted...
00:11:15Kuzma! Pistols!
00:11:20My master forbade us to touch the pistols.
00:11:23Only the two of us can play with them.
00:11:26Kuzma, tell me,
00:11:29if your master saw a fly on the wall,
00:11:32would he shoot it with one shot?
00:11:35If my master wanted to steal a pear from my hat,
00:11:38I wouldn't hesitate for a moment.
00:11:41Do you value your life so lowly?
00:11:44It would be safe there.
00:11:54Michał!
00:11:57Don't talk to him about pistols.
00:12:00He doesn't like them.
00:12:08Stop!
00:12:23I drink to the health of my dear guests.
00:12:27I drink to the health of my dear guests.
00:12:49I've heard so much about you.
00:12:52I don't know anything about you.
00:12:55But I hope I'll learn a lot from him.
00:13:04I owe you...
00:13:07270 rubles.
00:13:10But that's a mistake.
00:13:13You're mistaken.
00:13:16You'd better count.
00:13:19You owe me 270 rubles.
00:13:22You owe me 270 rubles.
00:13:25But that's a mistake.
00:13:38Ladies and gentlemen,
00:13:41I order you to leave.
00:13:46Thank God it happened in my house.
00:13:53I'm ready to answer for the insult.
00:13:56If you consider it appropriate.
00:14:52I keep the bank.
00:15:23I got attached to the man
00:15:26whose life was a mystery to me.
00:15:29He seemed to me to be the hero
00:15:32of some mysterious story.
00:15:35But the thought of this unfortunate evening,
00:15:38the thought that his honor was ruined,
00:15:41didn't let me stay longer in his house.
00:15:52I'm sorry.
00:16:12A few weeks later,
00:16:15everything went to hell
00:16:18and Sylvio was among us again.
00:16:21I can't forget him, I can't forget the memories of the fight.
00:16:26I can't relate to him like I used to.
00:16:41What's going on?
00:16:48Come here.
00:16:52Handling exercises?
00:16:54Weapons on tempo!
00:16:56Count loudly!
00:16:58Present arms!
00:17:00Present arms!
00:17:03Remove the stock!
00:17:05Magnet higher!
00:17:07Pull your stomach!
00:17:09Stand like a heavy woman!
00:17:11Who cut the mouth of the cartridges?
00:17:14Stand up!
00:17:16Why did you get the rifle?
00:17:17I got it so that I could train on it in peace,
00:17:21and during the war I could defend the throne and my homeland
00:17:24from both the outside and the inside enemies.
00:17:27Well done, Karpaczow!
00:17:29You're good!
00:17:31But you're sluggish.
00:17:33Stand up!
00:17:36Present arms!
00:17:39Back to the stock!
00:17:40Present arms!
00:17:46Gentlemen, news!
00:17:48The commander wants all officers to be able to handle a white weapon
00:17:52and to train on a mannequin.
00:17:57That's why they sent us this scoundrel!
00:18:00Unfortunately, the officer should be able to handle a saber.
00:18:04What do I need a saber for?
00:18:06When something happens, I'll take a rifle, a stock,
00:18:07one, two, hit and that's it.
00:18:09Let's say in a restaurant.
00:18:11A civilian insults you,
00:18:13or someone slaps you.
00:18:15First of all, no one insults me,
00:18:17because I hit those who are afraid.
00:18:19And secondly, I, like Mr. Sylvio,
00:18:21do not tolerate fights,
00:18:23because I hate bloodshed.
00:18:25But then I spend all my life with a broken penis.
00:18:29One!
00:18:31Two!
00:18:33Three!
00:18:35And I tell you, gentlemen,
00:18:37let's learn the art.
00:18:39In the Caucasus, they've been teaching this since childhood.
00:18:41On rods, on sheep's furs and on water.
00:18:43They let go of the water with a thin rod and cut.
00:18:46If the water doesn't splash, it means that the blow was correct.
00:18:49They also try it on people.
00:18:51And on people.
00:18:53With one cut, they cut a man from the shoulder to the hip.
00:18:56And you, Bek, can you do it?
00:18:59No, I can't.
00:19:01But my father could do it perfectly.
00:19:03So, gentlemen, let's try Alexander.
00:19:06Mr. Sylvio, please follow me.
00:19:25For dinner!
00:19:32For dinner!
00:19:43It's not like that!
00:19:45A real blow is not on the shoulder or elbow,
00:19:47but on the hip.
00:19:49I put my left hand on the back of my back.
00:19:51Yes, when we measure the blow,
00:19:53we don't hit or hit the target,
00:19:55but we cut.
00:19:57The plane of the saber
00:19:59must be parallel to the direction of the blow.
00:20:01They're doing well, aren't they?
00:20:03Have you ever tried fencing?
00:20:06If it pleases you,
00:20:08I can do it at any time.
00:20:10Here you are.
00:20:12Otherwise, the saber slips off our hands and we hit.
00:20:14Give me the example.
00:20:16Sylvo, please.
00:20:19Take it.
00:20:30March!
00:21:01Gentlemen, that's all.
00:21:03Mr. Sylvio, we ask you one more time.
00:21:06Gentlemen, I decided to leave you in this direction.
00:21:09I'm going tonight.
00:21:11I hope you won't refuse me
00:21:13when I invite you for dinner for the last time.
00:21:21Please, sir.
00:21:31Left!
00:21:33Left!
00:21:35Left!
00:21:37Left!
00:21:39Left!
00:21:41Left!
00:21:43Left!
00:21:45Left!
00:21:47Left!
00:21:49Left!
00:21:52Left!
00:21:54Left!
00:21:56Left!
00:21:58Left!
00:22:01Silence!
00:22:04Silence!
00:22:27And now
00:22:28we're going to sing
00:22:30our dear friend
00:22:32an old
00:22:34farewell song.

00:25:20I have to talk to you
00:25:26Yes
00:25:34As I said, certain circumstances require my immediate departure
00:25:39Yes
00:25:43I'm coming in a moment
00:25:47I hope you won't refuse me
00:25:50a few moments of conversation
00:25:56Yes
00:26:01Perhaps we'll never see each other again
00:26:07Before I leave, I'd like to tell you
00:26:13something
00:26:26Thank you
00:26:27Thank you
00:26:28Thank you
00:26:29Thank you
00:26:30Thank you
00:26:56You must have noticed
00:26:58I don't like to judge others
00:27:03But I like you
00:27:06And I'd be sorry
00:27:09to leave in your young mind
00:27:13an inappropriate opinion of my person
00:27:21You must have been surprised
00:27:23that I didn't ask for satisfaction from this
00:27:26Yes
00:27:31You must admit
00:27:33that having the right to choose a weapon
00:27:37I had his life in my hands
00:27:40while mine was
00:27:46almost
00:27:48safe
00:27:49Yes
00:27:53You see, I could assign my
00:27:57tolerance
00:27:59only to generosity
00:28:02But I don't want to lie
00:28:08I'd never forgive him
00:28:12I'd never forgive him, but...
00:28:20I have no right
00:28:22to put you at risk of death
00:28:27Once
00:28:31I got my cheek
00:28:38and my enemy is still alive
00:28:43You didn't commit suicide?
00:28:49No
00:28:59Too young
00:29:02I got used
00:29:04to be ahead in everything
00:29:07It was my
00:29:09passion
00:29:20Yeah!
00:29:44Yeah!
00:29:45Yeah!
00:29:47Yeah!

00:31:16Yeah!
00:31:17Yeah!
00:31:18Yeah!
00:31:19Hey!
00:31:22Hey!
00:31:27Hey!
00:31:29Hey!
00:31:34Hey!
00:31:35Let me introduce you to my friend Sylwia, who has just returned from an expedition.
00:31:40From an expedition?
00:31:41Yes.
00:31:42Because here in St. Petersburg we are rather busy with gossip than with politics.
00:31:46Mr. Sylwia, all the salons are already calling out your name.
00:31:52I have to tell you a secret.
00:31:55Well, Masha told me a long time ago,
00:31:57that a handsome young man appeared in the salons of St. Petersburg,
00:32:01who is very interested in her.
00:32:03Shura, how can you?
00:32:06Apparently, you have done many interesting deeds.
00:32:10And how many Chechens do you have on your conscience?
00:32:14You see, your military uniform makes you a hero in the eyes of sentimental ladies.
00:32:21I bet that Countess Masha has already fallen in love with you.
00:32:27Shura! Shura!
00:32:33But I hardly know you at all.
00:32:36It's a pleasure for me to meet you.
00:32:40Women always love those they don't know yet.
00:32:43But we don't know each other yet either.
00:32:45I think the atmosphere of my salons will be pleasant for you.
00:32:48Oh, certainly.
00:32:49We are waiting for you on the next Thursday.
00:32:55Who is this?
00:32:56The funniest man in St. Petersburg.
00:33:34When the dream of the living gods comes true
00:33:40And the moon's brilliance fades away
00:33:45And the cemeteries are covered with silver
00:33:54When it is true that the trumpet of the century
00:34:00Then they rise to the grave
00:34:06I call to you, my beloved shadow, lazy one
00:34:14Come to me, appear, I am waiting, waiting
00:34:23This is a well-known adventurer, Pojedynkowicz.
00:34:26Killing a man is a trifle for him.
00:34:31A couple of lovers in love
00:34:40In their old form, come, wonderful
00:34:47As the day of winter, unscathed
00:34:51As the morning of winter, unscathed
00:35:01Or as a star, come far away
00:35:08Like a flighty sound, like a breath
00:35:15Or like a terrible prediction
00:35:19I don't care, I'm waiting, waiting
00:35:33I call to you not to curse
00:35:38The people who killed you
00:35:42I won't bow to your shadow
00:35:45I won't know the secret of the grave
00:35:53I won't run away from the torment
00:35:58I want to tell you of my conscience
00:36:05That I miss you, I love you without memory
00:36:11I love you, I'm still yours, I'm waiting, waiting
00:36:28What a nice creature!
00:36:31Although she's my cousin, I think she'll make a fine singer.
00:36:36Bravo, bravo, bravo!
00:36:39She's beautiful.
00:36:42She has such exquisite eyes.
00:36:45But still without glitter.
00:37:08THE END
00:37:24Let me hold your hand.
00:37:39You'll be famous.
00:37:43You'll be honoured.
00:37:48You'll have a great position.
00:37:53I'd like to travel.
00:37:57Maybe I'll go to India, to Greece.
00:38:01Maybe I'll die on the way.
00:38:04No, you'll live a long time.
00:38:06A very long time.
00:38:18There's a legend.
00:38:21It's said that God first created all people.
00:38:27And then, I don't know why,
00:38:30he divided them into parts and scattered them all over the world.
00:38:36And so, they're looking for each other forever.
00:38:40And they can't find each other.
00:38:45Aren't you cold?
00:38:48No, I'm fine.
00:38:50I'm fine.
00:39:05You look very handsome in your uniform.
00:39:15Are you going to the ball at Princess Rumianowska's?
00:39:18Yes, I am.
00:39:23Are you going to dance a lot?
00:39:26Yes, I am.
00:39:30Then I'll order the first squadron from you.
00:39:49Ladies and gentlemen, the first squadron.
00:39:53Maestro, please.
00:39:56Gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen,
00:39:59the first squadron.
00:40:02Reverence.
00:40:10Ladies and gentlemen, the first squadron.
00:40:13Ladies and gentlemen, the first squadron.
00:40:43The first squadron.
00:41:13The first squadron.
00:41:43The first squadron.
00:42:13The first squadron.
00:42:15I am so glad to have the opportunity to see you.
00:42:21I am so happy to have the opportunity to see you.
00:42:27I am so glad to be able to see you.
00:42:30I'd like to get a tan, please.
00:42:32I'd like to get a haircut.
00:42:39So, ladies on the right, gentlemen on the left,
00:42:42more life, more life, ladies and gentlemen.
00:42:47Grand Valse!
00:43:00Grand Valse!
00:43:30Grand Valse!
00:44:00Grand Valse!
00:44:30Grand Valse!
00:44:33Grand Valse!
00:44:57Chevalier!
00:45:00Grand Valse!
00:45:03Grand Valse!
00:45:30I have no friends.
00:45:38The fights in my regiment took place often.
00:45:43Each of them I was a witness or a participant.
00:45:48Craziness was fashionable then.
00:45:50Adventurous, drunkenness.
00:45:53I was the first adventurer in the army.
00:45:55He was a young man from a rich, well-known family.
00:46:01He even sought friendship with me.
00:46:04I accepted him coldly, however.
00:46:15He was a young man from a rich, well-known family.
00:46:20He was a young man from a rich, well-known family.
00:46:26My friends tried to convince me that he was like me,
00:46:30that we had a lot in common.
00:46:34All of this strengthened my hatred.
00:46:50He was a young man from a rich, well-known family.
00:46:54He was a young man from a rich, well-known family.

00:48:30He was a young man from a rich, well-known family.
00:48:33He was a young man from a rich, well-known family.
00:48:36And so, we cast our fate.
00:48:47He, of course, came first.
00:48:50He, of course, came first.
00:48:53As I live, I have not seen a man who would be so lucky.
00:49:00Yes, he was a lover of fate.
00:49:03Yes, he was a lover of fate.
00:49:21He shot perfectly.
00:49:24And that shot was a second cheek for me.
00:49:28At last, his life was in my hands.
00:49:31At last, his life was in my hands.
00:49:34I looked at him eagerly,
00:49:37I looked at him eagerly,
00:49:40trying to catch even a shadow of anxiety.
00:49:43He stood under the gun
00:49:46and picked plums from the cylinder.
00:49:49This indifference led me to madness.
00:49:52This indifference led me to madness.
00:49:56You seem to be not fit to die.
00:49:59You seem to be not fit to die.
00:50:02You seem to be not fit to die.
00:50:05You seem to be not fit to die.
00:50:08I am always at your service.
00:50:11I am always at your service.
00:50:20I have sworn to the second-in-command
00:50:24that I will never shoot again.
00:50:29I went to Dymis.
00:50:32I came here.
00:50:35Not a day has passed since then
00:50:38that I did not think of revenge.
00:50:44Now my time has come.
00:50:47Now my time has come.
00:50:51I'm sure you can guess who this famous person is.
00:50:54I'm sure you can guess who this famous person is.
00:50:58We'll see if the day before your wedding
00:51:01We'll see if the day before your wedding
00:51:04she will accept death as calmly as she once did
00:51:07she will accept death as calmly as she once did
00:51:10while eating plums.
00:51:13The carriage has arrived.
00:51:21I bid you farewell.
00:51:41A few years passed.
00:51:44Circumstances forced me to settle in the village.
00:51:47I took care of the household
00:51:50but I did not stop breathing in the old,
00:51:53bustling and carefree life.
00:51:56Nearby there was a rich property
00:51:59belonging to a certain countess.
00:52:02The countess rarely visited her property
00:52:05but on the second autumn of my desert life
00:52:08on the first days of November
00:52:11they arrived together with her husband.
00:52:14I was very excited.
00:52:17That's why on the first Sunday after their return
00:52:20I went to dinner to introduce myself to them
00:52:23as their closest neighbour.
00:52:45Accustomed in my poor corner from the hustle and bustle
00:52:48I lost my confidence
00:52:51and I was expecting the count with such a tremor
00:52:54that a supplicant from the province
00:52:57is waiting for the minister's entrance.
00:53:14It is extremely pleasant for me.
00:53:17Taking advantage of a close neighbour
00:53:20I dared to say
00:53:23that we are neighbours.
00:53:45Let me introduce you to our neighbour.
00:53:48He was so nice to us
00:53:51that he arranged a visit for us.
00:53:59Please.
00:54:15Oh, that's an excellent shot, Mr Count.
00:54:23Yes.
00:54:31That's a very interesting shot.
00:54:36Are you a good shooter?
00:54:39Not the worst.
00:54:42I miss the cards.
00:54:45Of course, from the guns I know.
00:54:48Really?
00:54:51Would you miss the cards from a distance of 30 steps?
00:54:59Maybe I'll try one day.
00:55:02I used to be a good shooter.
00:55:07But I haven't held a gun for four years.
00:55:10A gun requires daily exercises.
00:55:13Exercises should not be neglected, Mr Count.
00:55:16The best shooter I've met
00:55:19practiced a few hours a day.
00:55:22Was he a good shooter?
00:55:25When he happened to see a fly on the wall
00:55:28he shouted,
00:55:31A gun!
00:55:34He shot and pushed the fly into the wall.
00:55:38Did you know Sylwia?
00:55:41Of course.
00:55:44In our regiment we treated him like a brother,
00:55:47like a friend.
00:55:50And I...
00:55:53I haven't heard from him for five years.
00:55:56So you knew him, too.
00:55:59Yes.
00:56:02He was a good shooter.
00:56:06And the shot image
00:56:09is a souvenir of our last meeting.
00:56:12For God's sake, stop it.
00:56:15I don't want to hear it anymore.
00:56:18Masha!
00:56:21I even insulted your friend.
00:56:28I got married five years ago.
00:56:32The first month of the honeymoon
00:56:35I spent here in the village.
00:56:38I owe this house
00:56:41the most beautiful moments of my life.
00:57:01And one of the hardest memories.
00:57:31Am I beautiful?
00:57:34You are beautiful.
00:57:37Do you want me to tell you how beautiful you are?
00:57:40Yes, I do.
00:57:43You are beautiful.
00:57:46You are beautiful.
00:57:49You are beautiful.
00:57:52You are beautiful.
00:57:55You are beautiful.
00:57:58Do you want me to tell you how beautiful you are?
00:58:01Not now.
00:58:04Later.
00:58:07And now?
00:58:10Chase me!
00:58:21You are wonderful, extraordinary.
00:58:24You have never been so beautiful.
00:58:27Please don't think about anything.
00:58:30Do you know
00:58:33why I'm so brave today?
00:58:36Oh, you don't know.
00:58:39Because I'm in love with you today.
00:58:42No, no.
00:58:45Please don't imagine anything.
00:58:48It will pass tomorrow.
00:58:51Masha.
00:58:55Today I saw you in my dream.
00:58:58It was wonderful.
00:59:01I dreamed
00:59:04that I was dancing a waltz with you.
00:59:11In some unusual room.
00:59:14I would recognize this room right away.
00:59:17Somewhere far away an invisible orchestra was playing.
00:59:20And we were dancing.
00:59:23We were spinning very fast
00:59:26without touching the floor.
00:59:29We were almost flying in the air.
00:59:32We were spinning.
00:59:35We were spinning.
00:59:38Do you sometimes fly in your dreams?
00:59:41Of course I do.
00:59:47But every year less and less.
00:59:54When I was a child
00:59:57I used to fly under the ceiling.
01:00:00People looked at me
01:00:03as if they were looking at me from above.
01:00:06They walked like they were walking up.
01:00:09They tried to pull me
01:00:12from the floor.
01:00:15But they didn't succeed.
01:00:18And I was still flying.
01:00:24And I was laughing.
01:00:27Is it a fairy tale?
01:00:30Yes, my dear, it's a fairy tale.
01:00:33I love you.
01:00:36I love you.
01:00:39Look.
01:00:42Silence.
01:00:45Nobody but us.
01:00:48Oh, my happiness.
01:00:52I love you so much.
01:00:57Yes, Fyodor?
01:01:00A nobleman has come from the south.
01:01:03He wants to see you.
01:01:06Please.
01:01:21He doesn't recognize me, Mr. Nobleman.
01:01:52Silvio?
01:01:55Yes.
01:02:06Now it's my turn to shoot.
01:02:09I've come to load a gun.
01:02:15Are you ready?
01:02:18Are you ready?
01:02:26I'm ready.
01:02:30One, two, three,
01:02:33four, five.
01:02:40Shoot.
01:02:43Before my fiancée comes here.
01:02:49Six, seven, eight,
01:02:52nine, ten,
01:02:55eleven, twelve.
01:03:07It's a bit too dark.
01:03:12Can you bring a candle?
01:03:48Enough.
01:03:57Please, hurry up.
01:04:18I love you.
01:04:21I love you.
01:04:48I love you.
01:04:51I love you.
01:04:54I regret that the gun is not loaded
01:04:57with plum seeds.
01:05:01This bullet is heavy.
01:05:05In any case, it's hard for me to shoot.
01:05:10I still think
01:05:13it's not a duel,
01:05:16but it's unusual
01:05:19to shoot an unarmed man.
01:05:22Mr. Nobleman,
01:05:25let's start over.
01:05:30Let's draw lots.
01:05:33Who will shoot first?
01:05:36Shoot!
01:05:39No.
01:05:46I'll do it.
01:06:16I'll do it.
01:06:46Hellish happiness.
01:07:16I'll do it.
01:07:46I'll do it.
01:08:16What happened?
01:08:22My dearest,
01:08:25don't you see we're joking?
01:08:31Don't you recognize our mutual friend?
01:08:37I don't know him.
01:08:40I don't know him.
01:08:43Your mutual friend?
01:08:52Is it true you're joking?
01:09:03Sylwia.
01:09:06Mr. Nobleman is always joking.
01:09:09He shot my hat.
01:09:12He was just joking.
01:09:21Now I want to joke.
01:09:24Sylwia!
01:09:29Masha!
01:09:32Will you stop torturing the poor girl?
01:09:35Will you shoot or not?
01:09:38No, I won't.
01:09:50I saw your confusion,
01:09:53your fear.
01:09:56I forced you to shoot me.
01:09:59That's enough for me.
01:10:03You'll remember me.
01:10:09I leave you
01:10:12to your conscience.
01:10:33Masha!
01:10:36Sylwia!
01:11:01I never met him again.
01:11:06Sylwia.
01:11:19Later we learned
01:11:22that Sylwia died
01:11:25as a commander of a unit
01:11:28of insurgents in Greece.
01:11:37And in this unexpected way
01:11:40I learned the end of a story
01:11:43whose beginning surprised me
01:11:46once so much.
01:12:06THE END
