Run, brother!
- Brother!! Let's go, Tadas!
Tadas, run!
- Adam, let's go back...- No, wait...
Come on, it's just one rabbit.
My dear friend, today they're...
...they're after a rabbit,
but tomorrow they'll be after you.
Adam, for the love of God,
they're just children...
My Janek is a child.
Your Kristina is a child, but these?.
A snakes' nest.
When you find a snakes' nest,
you kill them all, down to the last...
- Adam...-To the last...
Don't talk nonsense.
Brother, hold on, brother!
Hold on!
Hold on, brother!
Brother!
Hold on!
Tadas, run!
Brother, hold on!
Brother! Hold on!
Brother!
Dreamt about your brother again?.
-There's ghosts,Tadas...
-There aren't any ghosts, Vince...
There are, the ghost of Mrs.
Rasumowski herself is there.
- Stop it, that's nonsense.
- It's not nonsense.
Jonas also saw it,
and everyone else knows too.
And did you know...
...the old lady committed suicide...
...when Adam Rasumowski
was killed hunting and...
- Shut up, Vince...- Waitwait, listen...
She set herself on fire...
That's the truth.
And...
..and the others just barely
saved themselves.
Vince!
We can't keep hiding
like rabbits in a burrow.
We'll dig up Rasumowski's money...
...go see master Gruinius,
and buy our freedom.
We'll buy horses, I'll get a sword...
...and we'll see the sea, Vince.
- What?. The sea?.-That's right, Vince.
You promise?.
Vince...
...I never make promises.
I dream.
I want and I dream.
And sometimes dreams come true. Right?.
Let's go,Vince.
But how do you knowwhere the money is?.
The one-legged organist told me.
But he can't even talk.
He got his tongue cut out
for bad-mouthing Russian vodka.
Hewrote it down for me.
I'm telling you - there are ghosts...
Konstancija!
Konstancija!
Konstancija!
Edmundas...
Edmundas...
What is it?.
Konstancija!
It's that old man of yours again.
I have to go.
No no no no no...
Wait, wait...
...forget about that old, old cock of yours.
- He's still my husband.- Big deal.
I've missed you so much...
In the evening, when the guests leave.
You know where. Right?.
Promise?.
And how many times have you promised
me something?. Huh?.
Konstancija!
Konstancija!
What are you doing here?.
Me?.
I was looking for the cook.
Here?. You were looking here?.
Everywhere.
Bernardas...
...I wanted to ask her to be generous with
the juniper berries for the beef.
Forthe beef...
Bernardas.
Forthe beef!
The juniper berries!
Bernardas!
There's no beef here.
Beef.
There's no...beef, thank you very much.
There's no...beef, just a moose,
with these big antlers.
Tadas.
DoesTadas even know how to swim?.
Never goes in the water.
Hasn't snce he was little.
So why did he jump in?.
To rescue you.
Great, a hero...
Is he breathing?.
You immature...!
(In Russian)Your Highness,
Lieutenant Rasumowski.
Yes. Leave him with me.
- But...- Get out of here, you swine.
Rasumowski.
Janek Rasumowski.
Precisely, Your Highness.
So, you've made a lot of enemies,
Lieutenant...
Your Highness,
my enemies are my business...
A smart ass, what a smart ass.
I love them.
What, are you all like that
over there in the Northwest?.
You're from Lithuania,
aren't you?.
I'm a Pole, Your Highness.
I haven't been there since
my dear parents died 15 years ago.
Well, we'll take care ofthat.
Of course, some people would
like to have you shot.
But I have different plans,
Lieutenant.
But... I don't quite understand
what you're saying, Your Highness...
Well, as you probably know...
...our Emperor Alexander -
praise his sacred name, good Lord...
...has decided to give
the land to the serfs...
... over in that Northwest of yours.
To the savage Lithuanians themselves.
Take as many people as you need
to suppress the rebellion.
ButYour Highness, as far as I know,
there is no rebellion there.
There will be.
And you will be the one
who takes care of it.
Only everything has to lookgenuine.
But...
But soon, my dear, such things will begin there...
...that there won't even
be time to plough the land.
None at all.
Thankyou, Ferdinandas.
A good book.
Please get out.
FrancaisAllemand...
Get out!
Bernardas, why all the emotion?.
And by theway,
what does the word "argent" mean?.
Please leave.
Bernardas, the payments are late.
I told you, you'll get them.
La argent, la argent...
...Ia argent, la argent...
I need them now, right away.
You'll ruin my estate.
You, YourWorship, are the ruin...
...ofyour own estate.
You have been for a long time.
And I am just the obedient
servant offate.
You... bastard.
YourWorship...
...you owe your entire
life to this bastard.
You know where you can shove those debts?.
Tomorrow.
Sir, someone to see you.
Junior Officer of the Imperial Army.
Lieutenant Rasumowskii.
Janek, uncle.
Adam's son.
Adam!
Adam!
Thankyou, Edmundas, you may go.
Yes, but...
Thankyou!
At your service, gentlemen.
A servant of fate, as they say.
Let me helpyou...
Thankyou very much.
Welcome back.
- It's been so many years.- Uncle.
You've grown up...
I have news. Important news. From Petersburg.
Bravo...
Bravo!
- What are you doing?. -You'll see.
Coal, give me the coal.
- What do you need coal for?.
-You'll see, relax...
Give me your heart!
Let's go... Iet's go.
Where are we going?.
Sit up straight.
Admit it, the forest is alive
with spirits at night.
I'm not afraid of any spirits.
Motiejus, whatwould you wish for
ifyou ever found a fern flower?.
I don't know, maybe... shoes?.
Shoes. But those are just things.
What do you dream of?.
Things are things, Morta.
They're much better than stupid dreams.
What a bore!
- What?.- A bore!
- What?.- Boredom.A bore.
Motiejus is a bore!
- Everything is clear?.- As day. 98...
- Repeat it.- I'm not a child. 100...
You watch out...
Being secretive?.
No! Edmundas was just telling me how
you're getting along here.
I wasjust about to tell the young man... what a wonderful
hunter you are!
Of course... I left the most interesting parts...
...forYourWorship to tell yourself...
- Janek...- Madam Konstancija...
Kristina has already finished playing.
- Do you dance?.- With pleasure.
Madam Konstancija, I just remembered...
Dances...
I should have gotten rid ofyou long ago.
No balls.
Here.All ofit. Liike I promiised.
Do you really think that you can get
off that easily?.
Bernardas. Everything has changed.
Silence has gotten more expensive.
I'll get you with my bare hands!
It's gotten more expensive...
- Where are you going?.-To hell!
As far from your secrets as possible.
A bore, you say?.
... a bore.
Pure boredom?.
A mosquito.
You toads!
You snots!
Ladies.
Rittmeister Snegiriov's squadron
will be here shortly.
We only have to hold out
for a few more days.
But there is no one to hold
out against, Bernardas.
Emperor Alexander
has signed a manifesto.
He has granted freedom to the serfs.
Don't tell me, my friends...
...that he's messing around
with those serfs again...
Words like that can get you to Siberia...
No need to iintiimiidate us.
Gentlemen, please, it's no time to argue.
Indeed.
You should thinkaboutwhat you're going
to do with your serfs instead.
They'll be full of themselves now.
Butwhy do you think they're
going to up and rebel?.
Why, they got their freedom.
What are they going to do with
that freedom of theirs?.
Eat iit?. Spread it on some bread?
The serfs may have gotten their freedom...
...but there is something they didn't get.
Land.
Listen, gentlemen - whether a peasant's
free or not, he still has to eat.
And since the land is ours,
he's not going to go far.
- Well said.- Damn,
now they're going to give us...
Edmundas, finally.
Men, Edmundas is here.
Edmundas is here.
Hey, Edmundas has news.
Brothers!
What's happened?.
The czar!
The czar what?.
The czar has signed a manifesto.
What?. What did he sign?.
A manifesto.
Awhat?.
He has aboliished serfdom.
How do you know that?.
Gruinius said so.
How diid he abolish iit?.
Just like that.
You'll no longer have to bow to the gentry.
You'll no longer have to plough their land.
So what are we supposed to do?.
I don't know.
So who knows?.
Who, Gruinius knows! Go and ask him!
What, right now?.
No, wait for winter.
It'll be easierto plough the land.
Go over to Gruinius'
and ask him who's the master now!
Dear people, if there's no more serfdom,
that means freedom.
We have to celebrate!
Freedom, freedom!
Go. Let's go to Gruinius'!
Go, all of you. Go.
Who is the master in Birzulenai?.
And notjust one estate.
The women and children.
Didn't leave anyone alive.
Burned everything to ashes.
Lord Jesus.
ThankGod it's far from here.
Notthatfar...
"'No matter how much you feed the wolf,
it still looks to the forest", huh?.
Just imagine,
they'll come to you with scythes.
And they're coming.
With scythes, with torches, axes and pitchforks.
Impressive speech, Lieutenant, real poetry.
Not poetry.
I'm just saying that... if you need my help,
my men and I are always here.
How kind, how kind.
You can't understand Lithuanians
with your mind...
Where did you get such delicious vodka?.
- What is it?. - Son of a bitch...
Here it goes.
Oh Lord.
Ladies, everyone to the estate!
Ladies and gentlemen, don't panic.
Keep calm.
To arms!
Faster - to the estate.
Come on, get moving!
Where's Kristina?.
Put down your weapons!
Attack! Leave no one alive! Mount!
Jonas, Jesus!
What's that?.
Vince!
Motiejus!
Vince, you fool!
Quick, get out of here!
Rebel...
So, son of a bitch?.
Water.
Rebel.
It's written all over your face.
Well, your face reminds me
of a horse's ass.
Sure - you only know how to beat people
who are tied-up and unarmed.
Right?. No balls...
In the Caucasus we would have
cut open your belly...
...and watched as the dogs ate your guts
outwhile you were still alive.
So go back to your Casus then...
Tomorrow, he'll talk.
Let's go.
- Vince.-Vince,Vince.
Motiejus.
Why do I always have to save your ass, huh?.
- Because I have a grade-A ass.
-That ass of yours is hairy.
Let's go,Tadas.
- You go, I'll catch up. Run.- Fool.
Get moving, run, run, run!
No, Edmundas, no, come on, please.
No, no, really.
My God.
Nothing is sacred to you.
Stop, Edmundas, stop.
Have pity, for God's sake,I really
need it right now.
I'vewaited so long.
And I haven't?.
And you with your...
.."I'll thinkof everything,
I'll take care of everything".
But all you really care about
is getting under my skirt.
That's it.
Everything is even better
than we expected, Konstancija.
We're so close...
Fire!
Hey!
Stop!
Stop!
What are you doing here?.
Where?.
In my bed.
Escapiing.
They'll get you anyway.
No theywon't.
Their arms are too short.
So where are you going to go now?.
Are you going to climb into some stinking hole...
...and sit there for the rest
ofyour life?.
What, little bird..
...you think a golden cage is better
than a stinking hole?.
Of course, ifyou always getwhat you want...
At least I knowwhat I want.
I also knowwhat I want.
What?.
I want to smell the mist when it rises
from the lake in the morning...
I want to feel a horse when
it's running free through the fields...
The grass growing -
I want to hear the grass growing.
Quietly, quietly, and no one can even hear it.
The horses, catch the horses!
Kristina, open up.
Kriistina...
What?.
What?.
Is everything all right?.
Everything's fine.
I'm getting readyfor bed.
- All right. Sleep.- Mama?.
What?.
What's this?.
Hay.
Ah...
And what's this?.
I was reading a book.
All right, good night.
-The horses!- Put out the fire!
Fire!
- More water!:-The stables are on fire!
Faster, you sluggards!
- You idiot, where have you been?.
- Everything's fine.
That'll keep him busy.
- Let's go! No!
Where are you going, stop!
Vince, hurry up!
Motiejus!
Vince!
Motiejus!
Vince!
Motiejus!
Let me go!
Vince!
Let me go!
I...
I'm sorry.
So you had your fun.
That's for Morta.
That's for your golden ass.
And thatwas forVince.
Motiejus.
Motiejus, I...
I'm sorry.
- I thou... I thought that...- Don't think.
Don't think.
Feel.
Feel.
Feel.
And ifyou have any balls at all,
do something so that...
...no one has to suffer because
of you again.
Drink, drink.
Drink some more.
There's a rebel in here!Take him away!
What's going on here, leave him...
- Leave hiim Father!
- Step away! - Dear God, leave him!
- Father!- Step away, I saiid!
Halt!
Back, I said!
Thesewill lie here until we hang all
of the rebels in the gallows.
That's not Christian, Lieutenant.
You won't earn the respect
of the serfs with prayers...
...Officer.
Search all of thevillages.
Checkevery house.
Who's inciting the rebels,
who's hiding.
Within at least 10versts.
And you'll leave your men here...
...so they don't drag the bodies away
like rats.
Got it?.
Tie them up!
Just lookwhat men they killed.
Animals...
Just lookwhat men they killed.
But the rebels were maybe a hundred men.
And they burned Gruinius' estate to ashes.
As I love God.
They burned down the stables.
What stables - they burned
the entire estate to the ground.
His fist is like an anvil.
He put down a whole troop
of Cossacks with one hand.
- Did anyone see him?. The rebel leader.
- Yes, he's as big as a mountain!
What are you looking at,
you little snot?. Get out of here!
You son of a bitch, tell me,
who's helping the rebels?.
Butwe're not even from thatvillage.
You're all rebels over there.This is the last time I'm going to
ask...
...or I'll feed you all to the crayfish.
Forpitys sake, we've never even seen them!
Shut up, you piece of trash!
Which of you instigated the rebels?.
Have mercy, Your Excellency.
Where are the rebels hiding, huh?.
I did everything...
Your Excellency,
we've got a real madman here...
I did everything!
Get him out of my face...
- I iinciited the rebels... -What?.
...and burned down the stables,
I did everything...
Name, surname.
Blinda, Your Worship.
Tadas Blinda.
Hang him.
Have mercy.
YourWorship, I know where they're hiding.
I know where the rebels are.
They're hiding in the swamp.
Shut up, damn it!
Well, all right.
But if you blink an eye...
...or even fart at the wrong time...
...you can't imagine how much pain
a person can feel...
Stay on your toes.
They're fighting for our freedom,
and who are you?.
The rebels are shedding blood for you.
There are no rebels and there is no rebellion.
Quiet!
Here, this is the path they rode down.
- Here?.- Here.
I don't see any path.
I know the swamps, I'll lead you.
Untie him!
You bastard...
I hope they make you drink your own piss...
Calm down, you peasants.
Get them out of the way.
March, march...
Filthy pigs...
Come on, move it...
Hold them! Hold them!
Stand! Stand, you filthy bastards!
You asses, move it...
Run!
Hold them! Hold them!
Drown, you bastard!
I told you I'd save you.
Thanks!
Well, birdy...
Get ready to visit Abraham, you bastard...
Men, men...what are you doing...
- Hm... I wonder?.- I saved your asses!
Shut your mouth, you make me sick.
You stupid fools.
So ifyou hang me, who's going
to lead the rebels?.
You can lead them in hell.
But before God...
You'll be able to speak with the gods real soon...
Before God, men...
You rotten bastard...
Tadas!
Tadas! Tadas, Jesus!
Tadas, are you all right?.
Are you all right,Tadas?.
Motiejus, I...
I...
I can breathe.
I...
I can breathe.
Freely... breathe freely.
I can breathe. Breathe.
I can breathe freely!
That's it!
Nowthat'sfreedom!
When you can breathe and not be afraid
that you'll suffocate!
Motiejus!
Don't tell me that this isTadas'...
Tadas'...
So he's the one who set
this hell on fire?.
Yes, itwas him.
Unfortunately for us...
Thankyou.
Why are you hiding?.
You know...
...horses are better than people.
They understand everything...
They never betray you...
They'll run away if things are bad,
but theywon't betray you.
Father...
The world has changed, Kristina.
I've changed.
Don't...
I can't tell my friends
from my enemies anymore.
Everything will be all right, Father...
No iitwon't.
No, Kristina.
God said not to kill.
He also saiid notto use God's name iin vaiin.
Bernardas, Bernardas...
In your own house - like a thief.
You're worse than a thief.
You know what you are?.
I know, a bastard.
I know a lot.
What others should know too.
Especially our young Rasumowski.
Mayyou vanish into thin air
with that Rasumowski!
Don't fool around, Adam.
What's this?.
An endowment note...
Awhat?.
That you, charmed with the loyalty
of your obedient servant...
...and the merits of his entire life...
...give him what previously belonged
to Adam Rasumowski...
...well, the person that you killed...
...butwhich is now your estate,
with all of its land.
Signed - Bernardas Ambraziejus...
Gruinius.
Etcetera...
Eat me!
What a good clerk I got -
he wrote out two and only charged me for one.
I'd rather croak...
Just think, what will happen to your estate...
...to your lovely daughter and your faithful...
...faithful littlewife, if they're left
with no one to defend them, hm?.
Are you really going to leave them...
...oh, damn...
...to fate?. Eh?.
- Damn you with that land.-Thank you.
Thankyou.
Thankyou.
...now the important thing.
Damn you, you bastard!
Well, men, will you take us?.
We want to join the rebellion.
There's no rebellion here.
Wait, wait, but Gruinius...
Then who burned down Gruinius' estate, huh?.
No one burned down anything, got it?.
So why are the gendarmes running around
like they got their tails cut off?.
Not giving regular folkany peace...
We're the ones who shouldn't be giving
them any peace...
...shake them up,
so they pay some notice!
So what are you going
to shake them up with?.
Well, old man, what are you going
to shake them up with?.
Gonna shove your finger in their ass?.
Or maybe they'll enjoy it?.
I'd rather go backto work the land.
I'm sick of bowing to the master...
...what kind of freedom is this
if they take everything for themselves.
There is no freedom.
No freedom, got it?.
And there's no rebellion!
Stop making me laugh, people.
And you - what are you looking at?.
Are you Blinda?.
Well, yeah.
Prove it...
Prove what?.
Prove that you're Blinda.
Come on, Jonas...
Come on, Jonas...
Come on, Tadas...
I don't need anyone to shed blood for me.
I don't need anyone to shed blood for me.
For you?.
You're notworth a red cent.
So why did you drag yourselves over here?.
We're going to fightfor freedom.
For our land...
Forjustice...
For our women and our snotty kids...
For our women and our snotty kids...
For our country...
Forgive me, Your Highness,
an urgent telegram.
Get out of here.
Get out!
Well...Rasumowski...
it's a great thing, this telegraph, Ivan.
Bad news?.
The best, Ivan, the very best.
The best, Ivan, the very best.
Our young lieutenant hasn't been
sitting around doing nothing.
The spark has been struck, and soon the fire will flame up.
Send a message to Kaunas.
Send a message to Kaunas.
Tell Snegiriov to saddle the horses.
It iistime.
My love...
...Iisten, everything is ours now.
Do you hear me - the land,
the estate - everything is ours.
Everything we dreamed about, you hear?.
What have you done?.
What have I done?.
What have we done?.
Now, now... we're so close.
We'll get rid of that old cock andeverything
will finally be the waywewant.
I have to go see Janek.
No, no, not now...
...tomorrow they'll be here...
...tomorrow they'll be here...
...tomorrow an entire armywill be here.
And they'll take care of everything.
Everything will be ours!
Lord, what have you come up with?.
Kriis...tina...
Kriis...tina...
Kriistina...
I thought...
...well-bred ladies didn't visit lads this early in the morning.
So you went and escaped
from your golden cage after all?.
I hatethem.
I probably look really stupid, don't I?.
Not at all.
You look beautiful.
I can't go back there...
I can't go back there...
Neither can I.
But you're free...
I'm a serf, Kristina.
You're a rebel.
And you can do whatever you want.
And you can do whatever you want.
Well...
Well...
...that's not exactly what I had in mind...
I'm a rebel!
And I'm... a little bird from
a golden cage.
I always getwhat I want.
I always getwhat I want.
Dogs.
They're looking for me, I have to go.
The czar sent the army.
- What?.-To catch you.
Janek rode out to meet them.
You're in for trouble.
No we're not, Kristina.
Our land protects us.
How beautiiful.
Just charming.
Beautiful, that Lithuania.
Lithuania, my homeland. Beautiful.
Only there's too many Lithuanians here.
And I'm sorry to say that I thought
that you Poles loved Lithuanians.
And I'm sorry to say that I thought
that you Poles loved Lithuanians.
You even lived together,
had a joint government.
Poles are a nation of kings and noblemen.
But Lithuanians - cads and peasants.
No culture, no language...
...the slops have been serving
us Poles for centuries.
And now they serve Emperor Alexander.
And now they serve Emperor Alexander.
And what of it, they're born rebels.
Here the emperor gave them freedom -
and what do they do?.
Burn everything down in one go.
Indeed.
Halt.Who goes there?.
We'll soon find out.
We'll soon find out.
Implement...
What happened?.
Gruinius...
Gruinius what?.
He's starting a rebellion.
Instigating the rebels.
Nonsense.
I saw it myself.
Serfs, boyars - they're all rebels,
all of them.
In Siberia, Lieutenant,
all rebels become as smooth as silk.
And that Blindan ofyours,
what kind of idiotic name is that?.
Forgive me, the sinner that I am, Lord.
Blin-da, Blin-nyet.
Blin-da, Blin-nyet.
Here's your Blin-da, and then - poof! -
and Blin-nyet, he's gone.
With a name like that you're bound for trouble.
And what's that scarecrow standing
on the road for again?.
And what's that scarecrow standing
on the road for again?.
It's him, Your Highness. In person.
Welcome, Your Honour.
Detachment, aim!
Detachment, aim!
Ambush!
Oh, Master Edmundas.
So you've switched sides, huh?.
Who?. Me?.
Master Edmundas, and what's this?.
Master Edmundas, and what's this?.
Take your hands off, you animal!
My... my...
Rebel!
Everything... everything here is mine.
I earned iitfaiir and square.
Fairand square.
You robbed an honest nobleman,
and now you're trying to slander him?.
You robbed an honest nobleman,
and now you're trying to slander him?.
Lord, I swear,
Gruinius is inciting the rebels...
...YourWorship... please have pity.
I did everything you said,
I incited the peasants...
...I mean, you really don'twant
anyone to find out...
Oh, you rat.
Oh, you rat.
You damn bastard.
I'll cut your guts out!
Go ahead and cut them out!
Go ahead! Go ahead you damn fool!
Go ahead, and you'll never find out
who killed your father.
What did you say?.
Hold him!
Edmundas!
Stop, you coward! Stop, I said!
Birds...
Birds...
...and cuckoos cuddle at night,
when no one can see them.
YourWorships...
I onlywanted to protect you from that...
I onlywanted to protect you from that...
I'm not afraid to see it... Father...
YourWorship.YourWorship.
The Rittmeister is here.
The Rittmeister is here.
Rittmeister Snegiriov has come.
Idiots! Get me offthis horse!
Your Highness, you're covered with blood.
You brainless fool!
Get me off of thisworthless horse!
Of course, of course. Calm down.
I'm going to make you so irrit...
get out of here!
Get out!
I'll calm you down enough for your
next three lives!
What are you holding on to, you idiot!
Grab the ropes!
The ropes! Untie me!
Good Lord, what kind of people are these...
And then...
and then Tadas says to him...
he says:. "YourWorship, I think your mug
looks like a horse's ass!"
Proceed...
Your Highness, Mr. Gruinius is here
to see you.
To hell with him...
...has Lieutenant Rasumowski turned up yet?.
Not at all, Your Highness.
Get out of here, I said!
Get out of here,
get out of harm's way!
Ifyou don't mind...
His Majesty is very unhappywith you,
Mr. Gruinius, very unhappy.
- Your Honour...- A nobleman...
...allied with the serfs,
against the authorities.
Against the authorities...
Against the authorities. Get out of here!
Your Highness.
What do you want to say?.
What, you can't placate your serfs even a bit?.
Or maybe you don't want to?.
Or maybe you're hiding them?.
A conspiracy?. A conspiracy against
the emperor himself...
- Your Honour...- Silence!
I know you Poles.
My own mother was Lithuanian.
That's what you're after - to get your old Polish -
Lithuanian Commonwealth back!
You brainless Polish fool!
I am a Liithuaniian nobleman.
And this is Lithuanian land...
You dog shit!
You stinking shit!
When you'll be rotting in Siberia,
no onewill even ask your name.
Either you bring me that Blianda
straight away, dead or alive...
...or you'll go yourselfto fell the taiga.
And I'll give yourwife and pretty daughter...
...to the soldiers, to the Cossacks... for fun.
Got it, you fool?.
Get out of here, you Lithuanian duke.
Get out of here!
Sweetheart... what are you doing here?.
What's going to happen?.
Nothing, child, nothing. Everything will come right.
You don't believe that yourself... I'm afraid...
There's nothing to be afraid of,
I'll take care of everything. I promise.
No you won't, Father.
I see what's happening.
I see who's fighting the war,
who's shooting innocent villagers.
We need help.
What help?.
Our neighbours are all hiding
in their little estates.
They have mass said every day...
...to pray that I'll be enough
to satiate the soldiers.
There's not going to be any help.
Yes therewill...
What?.
It'stime to remember old debts.
ToTadas!
-ToTadas...-ToTadas!
- Butwhere's Blinda's beer?.
- Here's Blinda's beer...
Tadas...
That's bloody good beer...
To victory,Tadas...
What kind ofvictory is this, Motiejus?.
Come on, don't be such a bore.
We kicked their asses...
So, and what now?. What of it?.
Who are we going to fightwith?.
What do you mean with who?.
Once we're done with these,
we'll take on the masters.
We'll take away all their gold.
Give it to the serfs.
And we'll keep the horses for ourselves.
Motiejus...
You know, my father once told me -
steal one horse, and they'll call you
a horse thief for a hundred years.
What do you need that for?.
We gave these a beating, but more will come,
and then more.
Today there's 30 of them,
but tomorrow there'll be 300...
...and the next day - 3,000.
The czar doesn't have 3,000...
Motiejus, you blockhead.
Me - look at yourself.
Just a few days ago you were
running around...
...with a potato sackon your head.
And now you're a honcho.
So your ass is burning with envy?.
Go to hell...
Tadas, someone's come from Luoke.
Says there's important news.
Who's therewith Blinda?.
From Luoke, brought some news...
Look - Blinda's with a lad as
if it was a dame...
God damn...
I still can't beliieve it...
Your men are making the whole forest shake...
...only a blind man would
have trouble finding you.
Rebels...
We're not rebels, Kristina.
So what's happened?.
Get out of here...
Butwhat if someone finds out...
So make sure no one does.
You said you'd do anything for me.
Sometimes...
...friends become enemies
and enemies become friends.
And there's only one way to recognise them.
How?
To feel it...
...right here.
You serf, you.
So you thinkyou can set a horse
into the forest and save your hide?.
I'm counting to three.
One...
...two...
All right!
Just don't... shoot...
All right, I'll tell you everything,
just don't shoot.
Come out of there!
What's in it for me?.
I'll leave you alive!
I couldn't give a shit about
a life like this!
Come on out of there!
Couldn't give a flying shit.
All right, I'm coming.
That's it, I'm coming.
I'm coming.
Just don't shoot.
Well. Come out and talk.
I'm glad your soldiers didn't shoot me
from a distance...
I was already afraid that
I was riding myself into a trap.
This devilry has to stop.
Well, I wasn't the one who let the devil
out of the bottle...
I know...
I diid.
Stop fooling around, Adam...
I said, get out of theway...
You're lying!
As I love God...
My father died hunting!
Oh, right...
Let's go, brother...!
No, brother!
The currentwas too strong!
No, brother!
Adam, for the love of God,
they're just children...
What damn children.
My Janek is a child.
Your Kristina is a child.
But these are a snakes' nest.
And when you find a snakes' nest,
you kill them all, down to the last...
- Adam...-To the last...
Don't talk nonsense...
Oh, that really hurts...
Don't you defame my father...
All right, I don't have to tell
if you don'twant.
Just a minute,just a minute... hold on...
Hold on, child...
Well, sir, you should have
let him drown like a dog...
These are my serfs, Adam!
Those Lithuanian serfs
aren't worth anything.
Adam, I said these are my serfs!
Fine, sir,
don't take the sin on yourself then.
Adam, stop. Don't fool around!
Child, forgive me,
I didn't make it to the other in time...
Never miind. At least one iis left.
- I won't have it!- Get out of my way...
Stop!
Let me go, let me go!
Stop fooling around, Adam...
Stop fooling around...
Let me go, I said!
YourWorship!
It wasn't me... He himself...
Yes, yes, yes, yes. I, I...
...he himself. I saw everything.
I saw everything.
YourWorship...
...you don'twant anyone to find out...
I really...
I'll take care of everything,
every... everything,YourWorship.
It was a terriible... terriible acciident.
The ice was thin.
And the currentwas so... strong.
YourWorship, there was no way you
could have... saved him.
He said - "throw him, throw him into the water,
he's a dead man anyway..;'
There was no way you could have saved him.
No one needs to find out.
And YourWorship... this one too?.
Get out of here!
Yeah... yeah...
My serf... maybe he'll survive...
What do I need this for?.
It hasto end where it started.
It's miine.
This is myfather's estate.
My estate!
What do you intend to do?.
Keep hiding out in the swamps, annoying the gendarmes?.
What then?.
I don't know...
So what kind of leader are you?.
A bad one!
Bad, you hear?.
I'm no leader.
I'm no rebel!
I don'twant to fight with anyone!
You bastard!
Living in slavery doesn't make
you a slave,Tadas.
But accepting it does.
Have you already accepted it?.
Butwhat should I fight for?.
I'm asking you,
what should I fight for?.
To hide out in the forest?.
To eat shit and pine needles?.
Dear people... help me.
What should I fight for?.
Forthiis land.
For your land, Master Gruinius.
No, this land isn't mine...
...I don't plough it,
I don'twater it with my sweat.
Help me get rid ofthe soldiiers.
You'll already be sowing
the winter crops on your own land.
Our own?.
Land for us?
Myword...
Do you know that kid?.
What kid?.
The one that Gruinius saved.
His name is Blinda. Blinda.
You're lying!
Yes, Gruinius... Gruinius killed
your father for him.
Forthatrebel.
And now he's made him his tool,
as I stand before you.
So long...
Wait, wait, wait...and what do I get out of it?.
You can take everything, if anything is left.
You give your word?.
Where were you?.
What happened?.
I asked, where were you?.
Riding...
With who?.
What do you mean, with who?.
Go to hell, Motiejus.
I can riidewherever I wantto.
Men!
Our girls aren't good enough for him.
So, you got a craving
for the masters' bitches, eh?.
Don't you dare, you asshole.
Don't you dare.
Hewasn'twiith a broad.
He made a deal with Gruinius.
He's sided wiith the masters.
You little piece of shit!
Hang the traitor...
So you say I'm a hunter?.
Konstancija, Kristina!
Bernardas, Bernardas, forgive me!
Let him go.
Bernardas, no...
Father...
Bernardas!
What does this mean, Rittmeister?.
Don't shout, big fellow.
It means Siberia, myfriend, Siberia.
For helping the rebels,
and for inciting a rebellion, understand?.
It was nothing like that!
Tell me where Blinda isand I'll
let the ladies go.
Do you want a drink?.
For your nerves...
Seize him!
So how much did you sell
your people for,Tadas?.
You...
...killed my father?.
I killed him.
And I'd kill him again.
If only people
like you were never born.
Who trade their native land
for a foreign uniform.
That's how much.
For our land.
For your land.
Forthe land ofus all.
You're so full of hatred that you can't see
farther than your own noses.
Rebels...
And what are you rebelling for?. Huh?.
You just sit here, while the enemy saps our land.
We have to fight against the masters.
The soldiers aren't our enemies, Tadas.
The soldiers are waiting for just that,
for us to go at each other's throats.
For us to tear each other apart
like hungrywolves.
For us Lithuanians to kill
one another for a foot of land.
Fora bite ofbread.
You're the one getting friendly
with the masters!
I have!
Kill me now.
Kill me for loving.
Come on, forbid me to love,
just like the masters used to.
Is that the kind of freedom
you have in mind...
...that everything
will be the way that you want?.
That everyone will love
the way you want them to?.
Go ahead, shoot, damn it!
Shoot!
What's wrong?.
No balls?
We haven't even cut the heads off one monster...
... and we're already breeding
a new one right here.
How are we going to be any better, huh?.
How is our freedom going to be better than
the serfdom we're living in now?. Motiejus?.
Gruinius...
...promised to give us land.
As soon as we finish off the soldiers.
You... Killing unarmed people
is all you can do!
Liieutenant Rasumowskii!
Get a hold of yourself!
You are not a serf...
...you are an officer
of the Russian Army...
...so conduct yourself
as is fit for an officer.
Your Highness...
Shut up.
Ifwe, so to speak,
would help one another...
...why is there so much hatred - my God! - so much blood, so
many lies.
We have to speak the truth,only the truth,
and nothing but the truth.
Wait!
Wait!
You're lying,Tadas...
As I love God, Motiejus, as I love God.
Since when did you start
trusting the enemy?.
Since...
...I can no longer trust myfriends.
Tadas...
Tadas!
Motiejus!
So what are we going to do now?.
Oh... shit...
Wait... I'll tell you...
Thankyou. Go. Go...
Why do I always have to save your ass?.
Because I have a grade-A ass.
My ass... is golden!
For freedom...
Protect us, Lord...
You're lying! As I see you before me,
you're lying!
You want our money, so shove your hands
in some shit and take it!
In the barn!
Peasant...
Thankyou...
In shit!
You mean manure, my love...
Show me!
Father!
Father! Father...
Blinda!
This is all your fault...
What a fool...
Perhaps...
Stinking serf...
But it didn't stinkwhen
I was getting you in the sack...
You...whore!
Bernardas...
Murderer... old man...
Let's go, Petrov!
Retreat, boys!
Tadas!
Where are you going?.
Konstancija, hurry up...
Bernardas...
Go, quickly!
- Mr. Gruinius...- Janek...
Would you like to hearthe testament
of Adam Rasumowski?.
Father!
Stop!
Stop!
And where are you, darling birdies,
setting out for?.
We're running, so that means we're running
from our beloved Lithuania?.
Stop where you are!
No!
Mama!
You too! Get in the carriage!
Mama...
Petrov, go!
Kriistina!
Kriistina!
Serf...
- Infidel...- Bernardas!
This is for my father.
Bernardas!
Thatwas for us.
For our women and our snotty kids.
Thatwas for our land.
And this...
And thatwas forVince...
Tadas!
Bernardas, you're alive...
Kriistina!Where's Kriistina?.
They took my daughter...
Go after her...
- Go after her, go after her...
- Go after her...
- I'm begging you...- A horse...
I'm begging you...
A horse...
A horse!
Take it.
Plough it, sow it, harrow it.
Write your name in it, do whatever you want, but go after her.
Go after her.
Motiejus.
What's this?.
The land, like we agreed.
Plough it, sow it, harrow it.
Do whatever you want.
And now I'm off...
off to find Kristina...
Forgive me...
Kriistina. Kristiina!
Kriis...
Can you hear that?.
How the grass is growing...
