FORT OLGIERD

- Let me see it.
- I`m not giving it to anybody.

We`ll see.

Finders keepers.
Losers weepers.

The one that gave it away
has some other girl.

So you`re a poet now?

Watch this.



-The tin plates can be thrown out.
- Give me the ribbon.

- You`re keeping it?
- Maybe it`ll come in handy.

I can clean shoes with it.

Nice?

Stick with me and
you`ll see Berlin.

Janek`s angry `cause he still
hasn`t received any orders.

I`m on duty!

- Open up.
- What`s the hurry?

Eat noodles with your hands,
load shells with your arm.

It`s enough if I do it with my hand.

He`s so dumb!

Remember that you might have to
load even a hundred shells.

You have to use your whole arm,
because otherwise

your hand would get tired.
And there is no time for slip ups.



Get in!

Szarik leave that, are you crazy?

I said leave it!
Guys!

- What is it?
- Szarik has gone mad.

Have you learned everything?
Get going!

Load. Use your arm you...
Unload.

Anything?

Silence.

Listen for that Hermenegilda.

Janek!

Note it down.

The sappers are already on the Oder.

The rest of the army went
South and they forgot about us.

Hermenegilde komm...

What does it mean?

It`s velvet.

I got it from Grzegorz.

A soldier`s not a Christmas tree,
a uniform isn`t a frock.

The colonel!

FORT OLGIERD

Where`s the commander of the fort?
Take me to the headquarters.

Where are you
going without shoes?

- Are you on guard duty, son?
-Yes, sir!

Don`t you know that without
an order you can`t let anyone in!

Yes, sir!

A soldier like that should
carry a candle not a gun!

Your mother should pray
for you `cause I...

We`ve handed the line of
defence over to the Soviets,

only a few strongholds
like this one are left.

You shouldn`t have problems
catching up with the infantry.

1 50 kilometres.

The tanks are full, we have
petrol in a barrel, we`re set.

We`re leaving as planned.

- Did you find anything?
- Sir!

They were calling `komm
Hermengilde` over the radio.

I had an aunt...

- If the Germans were to send troops...
- They won`t get through.

Russet, the 7 6th, the lancers...

If they land, let them go,

otherwise we`ll never find
out what they`re after.

And then you have to stop them.

Mind your own business.

Tell him to lie down.

Leave it.

He has a reason to bark.

I found it at noon in our area.
It might be from the March retreat.

No, the dog smells a fresh sent.

Strengthen your watch.
Inform of everything.

Nobody can get on
the shore unnoticed.

-The night won`t be dark.
- There`s full moon.

- We`ll see them on the water.
-They might be under.

- Anything else?
- Quiet.

Driver!

- I can`t, I`m not allowed.
- He won`t let us in.

Colonel! It`s our people
from a POW Camp.

- What`s going on here?
-There wasn`t an order...

- Where are you from?
- From Lvov, sir.

Five and a half years in the camp.

Sir...

What is it, sergeant?

- Kalita?
- You recognised me?

Sergeant Kalita!

What are you doing in this army?

I`m finishing what we
started in September.

It wasn`t well then,
but now it`s good.

Before the cherries bloom
our horses will drink from Sprewa.

I`d like to get to the
Vistula as soon as possible.

Officers, to the car.

- Could you stay, captain?
- Are you crazy?

I remember my aunt`s name day.

Even if I wanted to, who`d let me?

All according to rules.
We`ll inform the brigade commander.

From prisoner camp
straight to the army.

It`s useless.

Captain, there`s place for you.

Take this.

We`ll find a horse, a sabre
and Berlin is not too far away.

Lingrab!

- I`m telling...
- Quiet!

Leave my things,
tell my wife I`ll be back later...

Colonel, my commanding
officer from September...

Now we`re inviting you
as a guest, not to fight.

I think that in a few days
I can get you an allocation.

Thank you.

- Colonel, it`s today.
- What?

The Germans.

- How do you know?
- I have this aunt.

Hermenegilda`s name day
is on the 1 3th of April.

If anything happens report
that the aunt has arrived.

Tomorrow at six,
according to the pass.

- Remember!
- Yes, sir!

I`d give you a lift
further but I`m on duty.

- I`ll kiss them from you.
- Mostly the commander.

Go!

Excuse me, have you known
the colonel for a long time?

Yes, a year and a half.

He was in command
of armoured brigade.

- He has a Russian medal.
- Soviet.

For the battle of Kursk, when
he was still in the Red Army.

Lidka, give me the headphones.

Ginger horse here.
We`re ready for aunt`s arrival.

It rattles.

Mosin 91 /30.

The mauser from Radom didn`t rattle.

But this one isn`t afraid of sand.

I can throw a handful on it,
shake it and it`ll still fire.

Tell me Kalita,

because I`ve heard
many things in the camp.

Is it true that there are
Russian troops in towns?

While the fighting lasts
they have to be there.

Are there partisans in the forests?

There were partisans when
the Germans were on our land.

Stop! Who is it?

A friend. I`d like
to see sergeant Kos.

Password!
Don`t you understand Polish?

I don`t know the password.
I`d like to see sergeant Kos.

Let go!

Flame!

Let her go.

Let go. I want to
see sergeant Kos.

Let her go.

It`s Flame.

How did you get here?

Hey you, by the gate!

You`re on duty, son.

Yes, sir!

When will they learn the rules.

He lets in strangers without
his superior`s permission.

Write to your mother and
tell her to pray for you.

Sergeant...

The commander of
a lancer squadron...

Sergeant Kos` fiancee.

I have off `till tomorrow.
I wanted to see Janek.

When he`s off the line.
In the meantime please wait here.

- Don`t sleep, son.
- Sergeant...

I saw a flash on the horizon
about fifteen minutes ago.

For good luck?

- Do you see anything?
- Flashes, sergeant.

Aren`t the horses
afraid of the noise?

- He`s mad as lightning.
- Leave the horse alone?

I`ll get mad soon sitting up here.
My backside hurts.

You`ll get blisters and
still nothing will come.

They`ll come.
The 1 3th is Hermenegilda`s name day.

That day we always
had sausage at home.

You mean soup.
Like that one in Studzianki.

No, I mean sausages.

- What?
- Sausage stuffed with black grit.

You put it in a pot and...
damn it`s starting.

Where?

Put away that field-glass
and look closer.

Damn!
There they are.

- They`ll see us.
- And shoot us like sitting ducks.

Jump.

It stayed up there.
The birds can use it.

Damn it.
We have to report to the colonel.

Take this to the sergeant.

Szarik!

What is it?

It`s time.

We have a report.

Szarik.

Where`s Janek?
Is he coming here?

Someone else is coming.

Ginger horse here.

Aunt Hermenegilda is
coming out of the water.

Now not a word without an order.

Szarik!
Come with me.

One of them almost
stepped on my ear.

They don`t have a gun
big enough to get Russet.

Why do they have
tank men with them?

What is it?

Can`t you just tell us to finish up?

- You were to monitor the radio.
- I`m coming with you.

- Are we going?
- Wait. Do you know where to?

Go and find sergeant Kos.

Tell Janek I`m here.

You want to distract him
at a moment like this?

No.

It`s Janek.

We`re alone.

Not entirely.

If the troops come back,
three won`t be enough.

Russet and the lancers
won`t let them through.

If it wasn`t for this radio
we could join the artillery.

We`d feel safer.

It`s a humid night.

It`s so pretty!

Wichura was supposed to be here.

He was charming but
he went with the tank.

- Did he give you this?
- No.

- Grigorij?
- No.

- Gustlik?
- You haven`t guessed.

If he`s not back by five
I won`t get to see him.

- Maybe they need a nurse.
- Sergeant told us to stay here.

Remember that hill over the road?

Left through the gully where
Grzes was chasing the cows.

Grzes!
Turn left.

The gully and the
hill over the road.

I remember.

This is where
they killed my cow.

- What`s going on?
-They`re on the farm.

What is it?

Some are on the farm.
The others disappeared.

- Remember that bunker in the gully?
-The forester talked about that.

- Sergeant is asking...
- I`ll tell him myself.

Card players are staying.
If the Germans come, block the road.

Gustlik and Czeresniak come with me.

Let`s go.

Get me that horse. Are you afraid
his legs are going to break?

Gustlik, Tomek, hurry up.

The dog smells a fresh sent.

- It opens if you use a crow bar.
- Did you send anyone?

-The cavalry under ground?
- We`ll check it out.

Let`s go.

-Take this.
- Report everything to the colonel.

Of course.

Szarik!

Get in.

Quiet.

- Anything?
- Nothing.

Tomek, come on.

Get in here.

I`m coming.

- Get down here.
- Wait.

Leave that stuff.

I don`t mind.

They sure weren`t making
marmalade in here.

Are we going?

Szarik, come back!

I`ve never seen
a well like this before.

It`s good there was
something to hold on to.

Cover our behinds,
you`re be our arrieregarde.

What?

Rear guard.

Come here.

Church?

No.

What`s written there?

That the grim reaper will get
you before you see him.

Tomek is staying.

Quiet.

They`re getting away!

Are you alright?

Me?

Your eyes are closed.

The light is in my eyes,
move that flashlight.

I can`t move my hand.

If this wire bends back,
it`s all over.

And if it doesn`t?

Then we`ll live,
if there`s enough air.

You know Janek...

The most important were the
New Year`s Eve, and the masquerade.

Long gowns, jewels.

Is sabre a bother while dancing?

The weapons are to be left
in the cloak room.

Just like women should be left
at home before going to war.

Don`t you consider us women?

War is a dirty business.

- You should keep clean hearts.
- Maybe you`re right.

But I...

Why didn`t I go with them?

Do you hear that?

What?

Szarik, before it sounded
like Marusia calling.

It`s your imagination.

God, I thought he already got you.

Take it easy guys, take it easy.

The one on the door?

His scythe was blunt.

- See, here`s...
- Szarik.

-They`re attacking, sir.
- Retreat.

Let`s move to the road in the woods.

There we can set up an ambush.

When they get out of the woods,
they`ll run into Russet.

Yes, sir!

Look, Kalita`s men. Stop them.

Stop.

Tomek, catch one of them.

- Let go of me...
-Take it easy.

- Where did those tanks come from?
- Germans hid them in the farm,

- we`re preparing an ambush.
- Wichura was right.

Let`s run.

Are you going to leave me?

Hop on.

Move!

They`ll let them go.

Don`t they see them?

Grzes! Shoot!

Again.

What are you waiting for?

- Did your courage break down?
- You won`t be able to shoot either.

Move over.

You`re sorry for the Germans?

You carry toys around,
but you can`t fire twice?

Don`t shout at me.
The recoil system is down.

The machine gun`s working.

Move over or I`ll step on you.

Damn you. What did you do
to break the barrel?

Russet here, how do you read me?

They took lead-covered
containers from the factory.

Sign - two circles and a lightning.
Over.

It`s me,

Can you hear me,
the meadow is my code name.

A world of green grass parks,

clouds above and the
songs of skylarks.

They`ve finished.

Russet will be here soon.

Prepare the gun.

Are those our people?

I read you loud and clear.

Yes, we hear tanks.

We`re supposed to go
down to the cellar.

There.

Hurry, it`s the colonel`s order.

You too.

Ready for battle.

Fire!

They don`t know about us.

Let`s go.

Where?

Hurry. Ladies, please.

- Can you work this?
-Yes, sir.

Load.

Ready.

Attention!

Look at that gun firing away!

Start sweeping.

If only I had a working gun.

Panthers are destroyed.

-The Germans are getting away.
-That`s great.

They`ll ship it out.
Our gun is damaged.

-They got away.
- Not exactly. The signalling pistol.

You know what that was?

Materials for bombs much
more powerful than these.

Janek!
Sergeant!

The captain is wounded.
By the cannon.

Take him to my car.

Take this to Berlin.

We have to get him to
a hospital right away.

What was he doing?

If only I hadn`t tempted
him with a horse and a sabre.

He`ll be looking for it.

He wanted it taken to Berlin.

But they won`t let the
cavalry into Berlin.

You have greater chances
of getting it there.

The captain was shot in the chest.
