IN ROMAN KACHANOQV FILM

00:00:39.360 --> 00:00:41.351
Patient, did you bring the money?

00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:47.038
What do you need all that haloperidol for?

00:00:48.800 --> 00:00:51.360
I'll take it and they'll throw me in the psych ward.

00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:53.990
Why would you do that?

00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:56.477
Joining the army
isn't exactly my idea of fun.

00:00:57.080 --> 00:01:00.555
DEMOBBED

00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:06.078
It was a rough year —
taxes, disasters...

00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:09.272
prostitution, gangs,
and a serious draft shortage.

00:01:09.640 --> 00:01:12.758
Our recruitment officer took matters into his own hands.

00:01:13.360 --> 00:01:16.637
He rounded up every loafer, idiot, and disabled guy in town.

00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:20.072
He even sent the deaf to guard a post called Mountain Adder.

00:01:20.200 --> 00:01:21.520
Years went by,

00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:23.631
and they're still on duty—guarding who knows what.

00:01:24.320 --> 00:01:26.596
There's such a thing as "duty."

00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:29.149
Doesn't matter. I'm not swearing any oath.

00:01:29.640 --> 00:01:31.597
Kid, you're young and dumb.

00:01:33.960 --> 00:01:37.032
You don't take the oath—the oath takes you.

00:01:38.360 --> 00:01:42.149
Warrant officer, write that down. That's one for the ages.

00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:46.033
MUSIC BY PAVEL MOLCHANOV

00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:55.837
Mom, I don't want to be a soldier. I'm scared.

00:01:57.560 --> 00:01:59.358
We need to call Uncle Viktor.

00:01:59.440 --> 00:02:02.273
He's a livestock expert. He'll know how to dodge the draft.

Living outside the army is like sex with a condom.

00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:13.560
All motion—no feeling.

EDITOR
ALBINA ANTIPENKO

00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:27.000
You just torched our entire workplace!

00:02:27.600 --> 00:02:30.069
Sorry, I didn't mean to.

00:02:33.080 --> 00:02:35.720
It was an experiment. I had a rationalization idea.

00:02:35.920 --> 00:02:38.719
You couldn't at least spare the payroll records?

00:02:39.160 --> 00:02:41.800
- Why?
- We were getting paid today!

00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:44.834
Totally slipped my mind.

00:02:45.040 --> 00:02:48.192
Well, keep it in mind—if you skip the draft,

00:02:48.640 --> 00:02:51.234
you'll end up in jail.

00:02:54.760 --> 00:02:57.400
Everything about a man must be beautiful—

00:02:57.560 --> 00:03:00.757
epaulettes, cap badges... even his underwear.

00:03:02.040 --> 00:03:04.554
Otherwise, you're not a man. Just a mammal.

00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:15.758
...you'll greatly extend the lifespan of your carburetor and piston rings.

00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:22.112
Zinaida, get out of here.

00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:28.911
Grab your grade book and follow me to the office.

00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:37.072
You're old enough now—it's time for the army.

00:03:38.480 --> 00:03:42.599
People are different: some defend the Motherland...

00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:45.599
...others hit on their teachers' wives.

00:03:46.920 --> 00:03:49.275
Both types end up in uniform.

00:03:49.400 --> 00:03:52.199
The first ones serve. The second—haven't yet.

00:03:57.320 --> 00:04:01.951
Hey, Cheburashka With No Friends, I've been popping all that haloperidol...

00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:05.033
...and now the army's starting to look kinda nice.

00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:08.317
I don't know what to do, Cheburashka With No Friends.

00:04:09.160 --> 00:04:12.471

Nature's not a temple. Not a workshop either.

00:04:18.960 --> 00:04:21.474
Nature is a live-fire range.

00:04:25.280 --> 00:04:27.078
- We have beliefs.
- What kind of beliefs?

00:04:27.200 --> 00:04:31.239
We believe in our god Govindah. He forbids us from shooting people.

00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:35.837
That's fine. You're all cleared for duty.

00:04:35.960 --> 00:04:40.079
And your Govindah's all-purpose. Also, you didn't need a haircut.

00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:42.909
Plus, you've got stamina.

00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:45.759
Four hours of straight-up chanting? Not everyone can do that.

00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:48.877
You'll be assigned to the chemical corps.

00:04:49.080 --> 00:04:52.471

Fly high, Russian eagle. Me and Cheburashka...

00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:16.436
...With No Friends want to be gunners.

00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:19.159
Go for it!

SERGEY ALEKSEYEV

00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:42.713
...my life felt like a stacked deck.

00:05:43.080 --> 00:05:46.471
I was fed up with the world, and the world wasn't too fond of me either.

00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:48.719
I had to make a choice.

00:05:49.080 --> 00:05:51.833
No smoking in monasteries. No drinking in prison.

00:05:52.120 --> 00:05:53.599
That left the army.

00:05:54.280 --> 00:05:57.432
It seemed like the perfect escape—from the world, and from myself.

00:05:57.640 --> 00:05:59.950
National or El Gaucho today?

00:06:01.840 --> 00:06:03.638
Nah, we're hitting the draft office.

00:06:03.840 --> 00:06:06.195
COORDINATOR
FAINA BALK

00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:09.074
We'll have to cut off your index finger.

00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:13.479
You won't be able to fire a weapon. I'd suggest a circular saw.

00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:15.239
Or wire cutters, if you're doing it at home.

00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:17.556
Uncle Victor, how am I supposed to get married without a finger?

00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:20.514
And what exactly were you gonna do with that finger?

00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:22.757
I don't know yet. I'm still pretty green.

00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:28.389
Then you should pee your pants—or as the doctors say, develop enuresis.

00:06:29.400 --> 00:06:32.870
Anyone with enuresis gets exempted from service.

00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:35.437
I don't want to wet myself.

00:06:38.440 --> 00:06:42.149
Besides, my grandma taught me to pee at 4 a.m. sharp.

00:06:42.520 --> 00:06:45.911
She was a dairymaid. Morning milking started at five.

00:06:46.280 --> 00:06:48.794
Well, four's perfect timing.

00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:51.199
Duty first, comfort second.

00:06:52.280 --> 00:06:55.238
Either you wet yourself, or we take the finger.

00:06:55.840 --> 00:06:59.720
Be strong, son—just like your dad, who went MIA.

00:07:04.960 --> 00:07:08.840
- Soldier, are you really pissing right now?
- Yes, sir.

00:07:09.440 --> 00:07:13.229
Doesn't matter, soldier. It's the environment these days.

00:07:13.520 --> 00:07:17.798
Everyone wets themselves these days. Me too.

00:07:19.440 --> 00:07:22.319
Even the Commander-in-Chief does, sometimes—depends on the situation.

00:07:22.680 --> 00:07:26.389
Our duty to the Motherland is what matters most.

00:07:26.760 --> 00:07:30.719
I'm assigning you to the airborne troops.

00:07:31.640 --> 00:07:34.632
You'll be shitting your pants there too.

00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:39.838
Now get to the draft station. Ciao, Pinocchios.

00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:45.193
Send me letters—general delivery.

00:07:45.480 --> 00:07:50.919
"I am Sebastian Pereira, the blackwood trader." Just kidding.

00:07:51.600 --> 00:07:54.399

ROMAN KACHANOV

00:08:09.760 --> 00:08:13.310
I don't remember where or when they dropped us off.

00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:16.035
I just remember I felt awful.

00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:20.599
Unlike the others, I went into the army for moral reasons.

00:08:25.600 --> 00:08:29.230
DIRECTOR
ROMAN KACHANOV

00:08:35.560 --> 00:08:39.599
Hey guys, where do I sign up for the marines?

00:08:40.040 --> 00:08:43.032
No way I'm ending up in a construction battalion.

00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:45.914
I don't do physical labor for free.

00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:48.238
Aren't you faking something?

00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:52.479
Please, why else would I come here?

00:08:52.920 --> 00:08:59.269
My advice? Smash a bottle and swallow the pieces.

00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:09.074
Me, I'm joining the army to toughen up and get in shape.

00:09:10.640 --> 00:09:11.960
You're full of it.

00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:15.039
Here, take this. Cures wild imagination.

00:09:23.560 --> 00:09:25.915
Wait for the officer on duty. Maybe he'll let you out.

00:09:26.280 --> 00:09:30.797
Look, moron, I've told you—I already served!

00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:33.515
I'm just dropping off my nephew at the draft office.

00:09:33.800 --> 00:09:36.394
He's in there, soaked head to toe.

00:09:37.160 --> 00:09:40.630
Check for yourself! I've got to go milk the cows.

00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:43.953
My name's Viktor Bashmakov! What don't you get?

00:09:44.320 --> 00:09:46.516
Wait for the officer on duty. Maybe he'll let you out.

00:09:47.440 --> 00:09:48.430
Son of a...

00:09:53.720 --> 00:09:56.872
Smoke all you want, guys.

00:10:01.640 --> 00:10:05.110
Cheburashka With No Friends has hit rock bottom.

00:10:05.640 --> 00:10:10.316
Marina, wait for me. I'll be back, alright?

00:10:14.440 --> 00:10:17.751
No, Marina, you're not going to his birthday party.

00:10:18.840 --> 00:10:21.593
Or hers either.

00:10:24.040 --> 00:10:26.395
Who's coughing over there?

00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:30.196
Say hi to your grandpa for me.

00:10:30.480 --> 00:10:33.393
Why are you wheezing? Got a cold?

00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:40.118
I wrote you a letter.

00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:44.192
When I get to my unit, I'll get an envelope and mail it.

00:10:44.560 --> 00:10:47.074
Send me some baranki and cassette tapes...

00:10:47.440 --> 00:10:51.798
Hey man, I need to make a call. My sister's giving birth.

00:10:53.200 --> 00:10:57.637
Then they gave us a show: a reserve general, medals and all.

00:10:59.120 --> 00:11:03.717
Boys! Bullets hit by chance, but bayonets always do the job!

00:11:04.080 --> 00:11:07.118
Cut the speech, old man. Just bring the drinks.

00:11:07.640 --> 00:11:09.836
You got it.

00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:14.830
This is the only place my old lady can't disgrace me—a true guardsman.

00:11:17.040 --> 00:11:19.714
Maybe don't, huh? Last time got ugly...

00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:24.437
Silence! I rammed my first destroyer when your marshal...

00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:27.155
...was still scrubbing toilets under my command!

00:11:27.440 --> 00:11:30.910
For one bottle of vodka...

00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:35.152
...I handed over eight tanks—came out without a scratch.

00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:39.590
To Belomorkanal, boys!

00:11:40.440 --> 00:11:43.034
To the Motherland! To Victory Day!

00:11:44.600 --> 00:11:46.955
Drink up, boys!

00:11:48.680 --> 00:11:51.035
The loyal boys followed the order.

00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:54.478
He's a real man.

00:11:54.680 --> 00:11:58.310
That kind of old man deserves a statue at every train station.

00:11:58.680 --> 00:12:01.752
He shouldn't be tied up—or worse, dragged off to the drunk tank.

00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:04.713
- To the old man!
- To the hero!

00:12:16.800 --> 00:12:20.430
Why do I have to clean up after that psycho?

00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:23.633
It's not my fault I ended up sitting next to him.

00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:35.270
That guy's from the Security Service—Special Department.

00:12:38.360 --> 00:12:42.149
They called in everyone at the draft station one by one.

00:12:42.680 --> 00:12:47.038
Most of them came back looking dazed—that's what got me suspicious.

00:12:47.560 --> 00:12:49.039
He threatened me.

00:12:57.120 --> 00:12:59.634
He promised to pay—never did.

00:13:10.080 --> 00:13:11.878
Real snake, that guy.

00:13:12.960 --> 00:13:16.430
- What did he ask you?
- I didn't get a word of it.

00:13:25.880 --> 00:13:28.793
You're in deep trouble, rookie.

00:13:29.320 --> 00:13:30.799
Is anyone not in deep trouble?

00:13:31.080 --> 00:13:33.276
Your trouble's not just deep—it's bottomless.

00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:36.315
- Worse than before?
- Way worse than before.

00:13:36.520 --> 00:13:38.557
- That's horrifying.
- Sure is.

00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:40.559
What do we do now?

00:13:41.800 --> 00:13:46.158
We help the proper authorities identify internal threats in the army.

00:13:46.920 --> 00:13:49.355
- I know for sure there's one.
- Swear it!

00:13:49.640 --> 00:13:53.235
Swear to God! The duty officer's got lethal gas!

00:13:55.680 --> 00:13:58.752
Report! What kind of gas? Any markings?

00:13:59.520 --> 00:14:04.037
Deadly stuff. Ingredients: smoked sausage...

00:14:04.640 --> 00:14:06.836
...processed cheese and flat soda...

00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:11.070
...all way past expiration. After he uses the bathroom,

00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:14.512
no one can go in there for thirty minutes.

00:14:22.040 --> 00:14:26.557
Keep tabs on the gas. I'll be in touch. You're dismissed.

00:14:30.040 --> 00:14:31.360
Next!

00:14:32.200 --> 00:14:37.991
I called the next guy... and popped a pill.

00:14:54.600 --> 00:14:57.911
Four days later someone poured cold water on me

00:14:58.200 --> 00:15:01.511
and dragged me to the recruitment chief.

00:15:04.320 --> 00:15:07.711
Young man, are you here to serve?

00:15:08.560 --> 00:15:11.632
Because it looks like you're on vacation.

00:15:11.760 --> 00:15:14.752
I've sent off three groups already and you're still here.

00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:18.478
~The whole station reeks because of you.
- Just give the word!

00:15:18.920 --> 00:15:21.673
Send me as a sniper to a combat zone!

00:15:23.240 --> 00:15:26.392
I've got just the assignment—for you and your buddy.

00:15:27.080 --> 00:15:29.196
That crushed me.

00:15:30.280 --> 00:15:32.794
What buddy? The guy with the mustache?

00:15:33.280 --> 00:15:36.519
If only you knew my friends... I owed them everything.

00:15:38.640 --> 00:15:41.553
But they insisted I take the money—

00:15:41.760 --> 00:15:43.637
literally stuffed the cash into my hands.

00:15:43.920 --> 00:15:46.514
They were brothers—Ulugbek and Maksud Aliev.

00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:48.870
They owned a place in Moscow called Begonia Snack Bar,

00:15:49.080 --> 00:15:51.594
and had just sold their one-year-old BMW.

00:15:51.800 --> 00:15:54.952
I slipped up and told Maksud I could invest it for him—

00:15:55.320 --> 00:15:58.153
high interest, safe deal.

00:15:58.520 --> 00:16:01.672
I said, "Maksud, your brains and guts amaze me.

00:16:02.200 --> 00:16:05.909
Money just sticks to your hands." He didn't argue.

00:16:06.840 --> 00:16:11.118
He said he was in the khachapuri, jacket, and Sony electronics business—

00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:13.198
and that he was a stand-up guy.

00:16:13.640 --> 00:16:17.554
I told him I knew someone close to a minister,

00:16:17.920 --> 00:16:20.355
and that minister hooked me up with a banker—

00:16:20.640 --> 00:16:22.916
who offered a killer deal:

00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:27.797
Invest 30 grand, get 40 back in a month.

00:16:29.520 --> 00:16:34.754
I told the banker I had a good friend who had a relative—

00:16:35.280 --> 00:16:39.069
and if he wasn't too busy, I'd bring him the offer.

00:16:40.160 --> 00:16:42.993
Maksud started hammering the calculator and ran to Ulugbek.

00:16:43.600 --> 00:16:46.911
They were so hyped, they started arguing with each other.

00:16:47.360 --> 00:16:48.998
And just like that—I had the cash.

00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:52.671
That same day I couldn't stop winning—royal flush after royal flush.

00:16:52.920 --> 00:16:57.756
Then I hit a losing streak. Lost everything.

00:16:59.480 --> 00:17:03.758
I was in a battle where I might go blind before sunrise.

00:17:06.960 --> 00:17:09.236
Back at the depot, I asked the colonel:

00:17:09.520 --> 00:17:11.955
Who do you mean? The guy with the mustache?

00:17:12.320 --> 00:17:15.153
Your brilliant and extremely diligent friend.

00:17:18.360 --> 00:17:20.636
You can't do this to me... I'm not going with him!

00:17:21.480 --> 00:17:23.039
He's got stomach issues!

00:17:23.320 --> 00:17:26.790
Don't lie—I once swallowed a bearing as a kid.

00:17:27.400 --> 00:17:28.720
And he's an idiot.

00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:35.158
Register him together with that fool.

00:17:35.520 --> 00:17:37.750
I didn't even know that guy's name yet.

00:17:37.960 --> 00:17:40.952
Write down "Melon." Matches his melon-shaped face.

00:17:49.400 --> 00:17:51.437
Hey, Melon, what's your real name?

00:18:01.600 --> 00:18:04.194
My name is Anatoly V. Pistimeyev.

00:18:06.040 --> 00:18:09.431
I'm a level-four machinist.

00:18:12.040 --> 00:18:14.156
Why didn't you give your name to the officer?

00:18:16.200 --> 00:18:17.918
Not my job.

00:18:18.200 --> 00:18:21.158
Someone else lost my papers—they should find them.

00:18:24.640 --> 00:18:27.951
By evening, Anatoly's file turned up at the medical office.

00:18:28.160 --> 00:18:30.436
Later, a recruiter came for us.

00:18:31.360 --> 00:18:35.399
Recruits! You must understand the depth of our despair.

00:18:36.720 --> 00:18:38.199
Hey, are we getting rifles or what?

00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:42.276
Three hundred and thirty-five.

00:18:55.080 --> 00:18:56.559
Some of us are still sober.

00:18:57.560 --> 00:18:58.789
And there are women.

00:18:59.560 --> 00:19:00.959
Without mustaches.

00:19:01.880 --> 00:19:03.518
Got any money, guys?

00:19:04.200 --> 00:19:06.714
The warrant officer begged for cash the whole way.

00:19:07.160 --> 00:19:09.993
He said we needed to buy the commander a small gift.

00:19:10.760 --> 00:19:12.876
Dude, I've got nothing.

00:19:13.800 --> 00:19:16.110
Only brought enough for food.

00:19:16.960 --> 00:19:20.271
We need a souvenir for the general—like drawing compasses.

00:19:21.120 --> 00:19:22.997
Your trial is over, soldier.

00:19:25.680 --> 00:19:28.274
My brothers-in-arms call me Vladislav. You can call me Viadik.

00:19:29.360 --> 00:19:30.759
I sold my dad's microscope.

00:19:31.040 --> 00:19:32.838
What, he used it to look at germs?

00:19:34.040 --> 00:19:37.590
There's a place down this road—great selection of compasses.

00:19:38.200 --> 00:19:39.190
Let's go.

00:19:40.840 --> 00:19:46.438
Ten centuries ago, I was a noble knight.

00:19:46.880 --> 00:19:50.999
But dumb faces and heavy armor held me back.

00:20:00.200 --> 00:20:01.759
What would you like to eat?

00:20:02.360 --> 00:20:05.159
A big bowl of Olivier, please.

00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:09.236
Back in our canteen, they always gave us way too much salad.

00:20:10.080 --> 00:20:12.117
One time I ate so much, I passed out.

00:20:13.840 --> 00:20:15.274
My boss had to carry me home.

00:20:15.600 --> 00:20:19.878
That's disgusting. I'll have meat, and a whiskey soda with ice.

00:20:22.400 --> 00:20:25.074
Trois bouteilles de vodka, s'il vous plaît.

00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:26.910
Barbecue, please.

00:21:05.560 --> 00:21:07.437
Mademoiselle, you're stunning.

00:21:09.880 --> 00:21:11.200
Like Edith Piaf?

00:21:13.640 --> 00:21:14.960
Of course.

00:21:30.840 --> 00:21:33.354
May I touch your waist?

00:21:35.280 --> 00:21:37.317
Go ahead, though my waist is higher than your hand.

00:21:37.680 --> 00:21:39.876
Should that stop our feelings?

00:21:40.720 --> 00:21:44.554
No—but that man in the tie at the third table should.

00:21:45.320 --> 00:21:46.469
Why?

00:21:47.160 --> 00:21:49.913
That's my husband, Grigory Toporov.

00:21:50.280 --> 00:21:53.671
He came second in the European Hammer Throw Championship.

00:21:55.640 --> 00:21:56.710
What's your name?

00:21:58.120 --> 00:22:01.909
Just call me Elvis Presley. I write songs.

00:22:32.280 --> 00:22:33.759
Damn it!

00:23:04.360 --> 00:23:06.954
Anyone could've guessed how that dinner would end...

00:23:07.400 --> 00:23:09.277
...with the patrol showing up.

00:23:09.880 --> 00:23:11.996
Who? Bastards!

00:23:13.240 --> 00:23:14.389
Soldiers!

00:23:15.240 --> 00:23:17.629
I don't mind you roughing up that moron—

00:23:18.640 --> 00:23:20.995
but he's taking me and my friends to the army,

00:23:21.840 --> 00:23:24.434
where we've got a heroic mission ahead. If you arrest him,

00:23:25.040 --> 00:23:30.274
we might disappear, change our names, and scatter like rats.

00:23:31.680 --> 00:23:33.398
It's your call.

00:23:38.560 --> 00:23:40.039
The army needs soldiers.

00:23:40.480 --> 00:23:42.869
An army without soldiers is just a corrupt institution.

00:23:44.440 --> 00:23:46.875
I'm solving this.

00:23:52.200 --> 00:23:54.555
Showing the quick wit every soldier should have...

00:23:54.920 --> 00:23:58.879
...the major poured vodka into two glasses—one for the warrant officer...

00:23:59.560 --> 00:24:01.358
...and one for himself.

00:24:04.800 --> 00:24:07.679
The warrant drank—and passed out like a sack of potatoes.

00:24:28.360 --> 00:24:31.751
He left all the documents behind for us to sort out ourselves.

00:24:32.360 --> 00:24:35.432
Turned out, we were headed to a long-numbered unit...

00:24:35.800 --> 00:24:38.360
...to serve in the Strategic Missile Forces.

00:24:38.720 --> 00:24:42.350
"M/V Richard Sorge." Strategic Missile Forces.

00:24:42.720 --> 00:24:45.473
Do you get it, Melon? They're putting you near nukes.

00:24:45.840 --> 00:24:47.638
- That's what I'm talkin' about!
- I'd set off a real big one!

00:24:48.000 --> 00:24:50.514
Then out of nowhere, some drunk woman showed up...

00:24:51.440 --> 00:24:53.795
Hey boys, want some paid love?

00:24:54.880 --> 00:24:56.837
She offered us sex for cash.

00:25:01.280 --> 00:25:03.396
I'm chewing your face off!

00:25:13.400 --> 00:25:16.631
Meanwhile, the warrant officer came to and tried to escape.

00:25:20.360 --> 00:25:21.350
I need to pee.

00:25:21.800 --> 00:25:26.954
Warrant, you were made in a rush. Your whole life's a safe-sex poster.

00:25:28.120 --> 00:25:29.190
Go behind that bush.

00:25:29.880 --> 00:25:33.475
Commanders shouldn't be doing their business in the bushes.

00:25:34.800 --> 00:25:38.759
Let's just take him to the station. No need to make him suffer—let the guy pee.

00:25:39.680 --> 00:25:42.194
He walked into a booth... and locked himself in forever.

00:25:43.040 --> 00:25:45.156
– Come on out. You okay?
– He's fine.

00:25:45.600 --> 00:25:47.318
We might miss the boat.

00:25:47.600 --> 00:25:50.194
Attention! Officer stepping out!

00:25:54.400 --> 00:25:55.629
All hands on deck!

00:26:04.280 --> 00:26:05.759
Our warrant officer's got no manners.

00:26:06.200 --> 00:26:07.838
A real wild one.

00:26:11.280 --> 00:26:13.476
As I was dragging him by the left leg, I imagined...

00:26:14.080 --> 00:26:18.199
...the brothers Maksud and Ulugbek

00:26:18.640 --> 00:26:23.191
missing me in my rented apartment.

00:26:35.840 --> 00:26:38.116
Who's this passenger? Him? He's trash!

00:26:38.800 --> 00:26:40.359
Watch your mouth!

00:26:40.960 --> 00:26:45.113
He's a veteran of three conflict zones. Baltic Fleet sailor.

00:26:45.720 --> 00:26:47.677
Took a blast to the head.

00:26:48.120 --> 00:26:50.316
His blood pressure hits 300 every night.

00:26:50.840 --> 00:26:52.877
– For real?
– You bet.

00:26:55.960 --> 00:26:57.519
Alright, bring him aboard.

00:26:59.000 --> 00:27:01.833
Don't leave that hero in the hallway—I'm responsible for the carpets.

00:27:11.720 --> 00:27:13.996
The cheerful warrant let one rip from the top bunk.

00:27:14.600 --> 00:27:17.433
Down below, we sat dreaming of future glory.

00:27:22.920 --> 00:27:25.434
You, Melon—you'll be Bomb.

00:27:29.720 --> 00:27:31.119
Why?

00:27:32.120 --> 00:27:33.554
You've got a short fuse.

00:27:35.760 --> 00:27:38.991
You, Vladik—Bayonet. You're skinny.

00:27:42.000 --> 00:27:45.709
And I'll be Bullet—‘cause I never miss.

00:27:49.840 --> 00:27:52.832
If they sent me to a hot zone, I'd earn a medal for bravery.

00:27:54.720 --> 00:27:57.792
And get top priority for housing.

00:27:58.400 --> 00:28:00.198
And other perks, obviously.

00:28:00.960 --> 00:28:04.430
If a shell blew your leg off, they'd give you a wooden one—

00:28:05.120 --> 00:28:08.670
plus a foul-mouthed parrot and a black spot.

00:28:10.760 --> 00:28:12.239
Pirates are out of fashion now.

00:28:13.480 --> 00:28:14.629
What's with all the music?

00:28:15.000 --> 00:28:17.833
A wedding—with a gypsy choir and ballet troupe.

00:28:18.760 --> 00:28:20.239
I love ballet dancers.

00:28:21.920 --> 00:28:26.756
Someone said they're selling drugs through the newspaper kiosks.

00:28:32.160 --> 00:28:34.800
Watch out below!

00:28:36.600 --> 00:28:38.477
Hookers!

00:28:57.240 --> 00:29:00.278
In the morning, we arrived in city "X".

00:29:02.480 --> 00:29:04.437
Recruits, fall in!

00:29:06.480 --> 00:29:08.994
Your sacred duty is to defend the Motherland—

00:29:09.360 --> 00:29:11.954
and maintain personal hygiene instead of zigzagging around.

00:29:13.360 --> 00:29:15.556
To streamline your route,

00:29:16.000 --> 00:29:19.152
we'll board a bus and head to the unit.

00:29:20.440 --> 00:29:22.078
He's a different case entirely.

00:29:22.520 --> 00:29:24.238
The more wine to drown your sorrow,
the more sorrow you end up with.

00:29:24.760 --> 00:29:26.319
– Chief!
– What?

00:29:26.680 --> 00:29:30.150
You remember biting the general's epaulet yesterday?

00:29:32.120 --> 00:29:34.953
Bite a general? Never happened!

00:29:35.800 --> 00:29:37.199
I don't even bite gypsies!

00:29:37.640 --> 00:29:40.234
Sure, a soldier can let loose sometimes...

00:29:41.280 --> 00:29:44.511
But biting a general—especially his shoulder strap?

00:29:45.600 --> 00:29:47.477
Completely unacceptable.

00:29:48.240 --> 00:29:50.516
We must honor rank and service time. Move out!

00:29:56.840 --> 00:29:58.319
Fall in!

00:30:00.280 --> 00:30:01.998
This is our glorious unit.

00:30:02.920 --> 00:30:04.319
Looks like a pile of rubble.

00:30:05.240 --> 00:30:07.117
That's not rubble, rookie.

00:30:08.000 --> 00:30:10.913
It's where you'll spend the next two years...

00:30:11.280 --> 00:30:13.635
...in an exciting and unforgettable way.

00:30:13.920 --> 00:30:15.479
Can't wait.

00:30:22.680 --> 00:30:25.274
After handing in our papers at HQ,

00:30:25.720 --> 00:30:28.633
we got a real taste of army life.

00:30:29.560 --> 00:30:31.153
No food here.

00:30:43.560 --> 00:30:45.756
That guy on the "Don't Touch Live Wires" poster...

00:30:46.440 --> 00:30:47.589
to put it simply—

00:30:47.880 --> 00:30:49.359
—he's full of crap.

00:30:50.760 --> 00:30:54.071
The warrant took us to the bathhouse and gave his first pearl of wisdom:

00:30:55.720 --> 00:30:57.996
Only flies get married without a ceremony.

00:32:12.840 --> 00:32:16.959
Then he gave us foot wraps—and showed us how to wrap them.

00:32:17.640 --> 00:32:19.039
That's not it!

00:32:20.680 --> 00:32:21.272
We get it.

00:32:27.880 --> 00:32:31.157
Whoever invented these things should've had their head nailed to the wall.

00:32:31.440 --> 00:32:33.158
I despise them.

00:32:36.320 --> 00:32:39.790
Turns out only Bomb could wrap his footcloths properly.

00:32:40.320 --> 00:32:42.277
Bayonet and I just stuffed ours into our pockets.

00:32:47.200 --> 00:32:49.157
Now you'll sew collar liners into your uniform.

00:32:49.920 --> 00:32:50.990
We don't know how.

00:32:51.200 --> 00:32:55.478
Nobody does. Doesn't matter if you can or want to.

00:32:56.560 --> 00:32:59.632
What matters is: you'll sew the liners into the collars.

00:33:01.520 --> 00:33:05.150
The army isn't just a noble word—it's swift action. That's how we win wars.

00:33:07.040 --> 00:33:11.637
While the enemy's drawing maps—we're redrawing the landscape.

00:33:13.760 --> 00:33:15.080
By hand.

00:33:16.880 --> 00:33:20.919
When the enemy launches an attack, they get lost in new terrain,

00:33:21.600 --> 00:33:24.194
and lose their will to fight.

00:33:25.920 --> 00:33:28.514
That's the trick—that's our strategy.

00:33:29.240 --> 00:33:30.719
I can't take this anymore.
I'm losing my mind.

00:33:32.200 --> 00:33:34.794
I'm out. My eye's twitching like crazy.

00:33:37.800 --> 00:33:39.120
I sewed through my finger.

00:33:40.640 --> 00:33:44.190
To give us a better feel for the place,

00:33:45.120 --> 00:33:48.670
the warrant showed us an intercontinental missile silo.

00:33:49.920 --> 00:33:52.230
This, soldiers, is a top-secret facility.

00:33:59.840 --> 00:34:02.275
Bomb immediately stepped in dog shit.

00:34:02.800 --> 00:34:03.949
Can you believe it?

00:34:08.160 --> 00:34:12.836
Sons, this is where our Motherland issues its iron will...

00:34:13.120 --> 00:34:16.476
...to the rest of the civilized world.

00:34:17.320 --> 00:34:18.640
Let's blow it all up!

00:34:19.080 --> 00:34:23.153
Sure. Wiping out the world? Piece of cake.

00:34:24.800 --> 00:34:25.870
But not yet.

00:34:26.640 --> 00:34:29.393
The warrant took us to the mess hall. Three hundred soldiers sat there—

00:34:29.840 --> 00:34:32.275
all identical, one face—hungry.

00:34:32.880 --> 00:34:34.757
These aren't good for roasting.

00:34:35.120 --> 00:34:37.794
Nah, they'll get overcooked.

00:34:38.160 --> 00:34:39.719
Better stew them.

00:34:40.080 --> 00:34:45.154
Our table neighbors were having an intense debate about our culinary potential.

00:34:50.200 --> 00:34:51.429
That stuff's disgusting.

00:34:52.360 --> 00:34:53.430
I like it.

00:34:59.640 --> 00:35:02.473
I'm scared to imagine being stuck with you...

00:35:03.080 --> 00:35:04.878
on a deserted island during a famine.

00:35:07.480 --> 00:35:09.198
How's it out there?
Any girls around?

00:35:10.160 --> 00:35:12.595
So few, it's almost shocking.

00:35:14.000 --> 00:35:15.798
Hey, where's our wild warrant?

00:35:21.280 --> 00:35:23.715
Hey, soldier, how do we get to the snack bar?

00:35:24.320 --> 00:35:26.994
- You guys are fresh meat, huh?
- Yep, just arrived.

00:35:27.840 --> 00:35:30.673
Well then, fresh meat—salute me, quick.

00:35:31.680 --> 00:35:34.752
Now roll this barrel over to that guy.

00:35:35.520 --> 00:35:37.875
He's a soldier too. Don't forget to salute.

00:35:38.320 --> 00:35:40.834
As for the snack bar, it's right where you're rolling it.

00:35:41.200 --> 00:35:43.555
- Thanks.
- No problem.

00:35:53.560 --> 00:35:56.552
- I don't like this at all.
- It might get us busted.

00:35:57.400 --> 00:36:00.153
Getting busted on an empty stomach—
that's the worst.

00:36:00.840 --> 00:36:03.434
We seriously need a bite to eat.

00:36:05.160 --> 00:36:09.393
When I joined the army, we ate seven boxes of blini.

00:36:12.000 --> 00:36:13.479
My whole factory came to see me off.

00:36:14.000 --> 00:36:17.152
- Mine was the whole college.
- Mine was the whole casino.

00:36:28.240 --> 00:36:29.560
Roll it to the checkpoint.

00:36:37.000 --> 00:36:39.992
I've got a bad feeling.
Your bad feelings are worthless.

00:36:40.680 --> 00:36:43.513
We're heading away from the canteen, that's the problem.

00:36:43.880 --> 00:36:45.200
What's the holdup?

00:37:02.200 --> 00:37:04.237
- Who's that guy?
- That's Chief Daddy.

00:37:05.160 --> 00:37:06.719
No more questions.
Show us the menu.

00:37:07.240 --> 00:37:08.469
I am the menu.

00:37:10.760 --> 00:37:12.159
Poppy rolls, rum cakes...

00:37:13.880 --> 00:37:15.109
...éclairs...

00:37:15.880 --> 00:37:18.235
...soda, Prima cigarettes.

00:37:18.680 --> 00:37:20.079
Got any coffee?

00:37:20.520 --> 00:37:21.954
Coffee's for officers only.

00:37:22.240 --> 00:37:24.516
Privates get nervous breakdowns from coffee.

00:37:25.120 --> 00:37:26.349
I'll take everything.

00:37:28.800 --> 00:37:30.029
Here you go!

00:37:30.560 --> 00:37:33.313
Have a seat, warrant. Dig in.

00:37:41.240 --> 00:37:42.958
Time to hit the barracks.

00:37:44.160 --> 00:37:45.594
Will they feed us there?

00:37:46.520 --> 00:37:47.999
Oh, they'll give you everything.

00:37:48.520 --> 00:37:50.238
A SLAP TO THE EAR

00:37:53.640 --> 00:37:55.597
According to good army tradition...

00:37:56.600 --> 00:37:58.876
...the old-timer gave us a once-over.

00:38:01.680 --> 00:38:04.911
Anyone who's served six months is called a young-timer.

00:38:05.520 --> 00:38:08.034
Young-timers take orders from the middlers.

00:38:08.880 --> 00:38:11.952
Middlers are guys in their third stretch of service.

00:38:12.640 --> 00:38:14.711
Middlers run errands for old-timers who've got six months left.

00:38:14.920 --> 00:38:16.877
Care to explain all that?

00:38:19.800 --> 00:38:20.915
Let me put it simply...

00:38:21.160 --> 00:38:22.798
...your life is crap now.

00:38:23.720 --> 00:38:26.712
You're nobodies. Any of us can mess you up.

00:38:27.320 --> 00:38:29.675
What does that mean in real life?

00:38:31.080 --> 00:38:34.630
See those nice fellas with senior sergeant Lavrov?

00:38:35.960 --> 00:38:39.555
Our "rules" forbid them from washing their own socks.

00:38:40.320 --> 00:38:43.233
But they love cleanliness.
So you'll be washing them with soap.

00:38:45.280 --> 00:38:49.399
Tell those fine lads led by Lavrov...

00:38:50.640 --> 00:38:53.075
...that we're not interested in laundry.

00:38:53.520 --> 00:38:54.999
We came here to defend the Motherland.

00:38:55.840 --> 00:38:57.399
I'll beat the crap outta you!

00:39:00.560 --> 00:39:02.676
Hey, can you tell me how to get
to the infirmary?

00:39:03.120 --> 00:39:04.440
Straight ahead, then right.

00:39:09.000 --> 00:39:10.718
Would you mind walking me there?

00:39:14.840 --> 00:39:16.956
No need to bother — he'll find it himself.

00:39:24.760 --> 00:39:28.549
Inspired by such warm hospitality,
we headed to the infirmary.

00:39:42.560 --> 00:39:45.757
The dead don't age.
The dead don't grow.

00:39:46.480 --> 00:39:49.711
The dead don't smoke.
The dead don't drink.

00:39:50.240 --> 00:39:54.029
The dead don't dance.
The dead don't lie.

00:39:54.320 --> 00:39:57.950
The dead don't play.
The dead don't sing.

00:39:59.280 --> 00:40:01.715
Well, could be worse.

00:40:04.080 --> 00:40:06.959
Yeah, this is about what I expected.

00:40:09.040 --> 00:40:11.475
I just want a rifle, ASAP.

00:40:12.400 --> 00:40:16.155
A rifle, some grenades,
and one anti-personnel mine.

00:40:24.480 --> 00:40:27.154
There are five guys in there.
All with chickenpox.

00:40:28.880 --> 00:40:30.518
Hello, intelligent life from beyond!

00:40:32.200 --> 00:40:33.838
They're Tungus, apparently.

00:40:34.040 --> 00:40:35.917
Don't speak a word of Russian.

00:40:36.280 --> 00:40:38.476
Didn't they say Tungus people died out?

00:40:40.000 --> 00:40:41.718
Guess they got sent here
as part of some ethnic exchange.

00:40:42.000 --> 00:40:44.913
We got weird transfers
at my college too.

00:40:45.200 --> 00:40:47.714
Usually the kind with herpes.

00:40:48.880 --> 00:40:50.279
Every time.

00:41:05.760 --> 00:41:09.515
But that night made up for all the mental trauma.

00:41:10.360 --> 00:41:13.034
Until four in the morning,
we played

00:41:13.480 --> 00:41:16.154
"Demobbed Soldier
Rides the Train Home."

00:41:18.400 --> 00:41:21.392
Looking forward to reuniting
with friends and family,

00:41:21.840 --> 00:41:24.116
Lavrov got nervous and kept saying:

00:41:24.560 --> 00:41:26.756
"Guard! Tea, please."

00:41:41.200 --> 00:41:44.113
Then Bomb swung the bed too hard...

00:41:44.960 --> 00:41:47.839
...and the sergeant nodded off
and fell "off the train."

00:41:49.000 --> 00:41:52.072
He broke a leg and got burned.

00:42:10.120 --> 00:42:14.956
After all that stress, Lavrov
was taken to the infirmary with us.

00:42:30.880 --> 00:42:35.238
We became friends with Lavrov.
He didn't really have anyone else.

00:42:35.920 --> 00:42:39.629
Listen up, rookies! You here to serve
or just bat your lashes?

00:42:40.000 --> 00:42:41.399
To serve, sir!

00:42:42.240 --> 00:42:46.029
Then sing me that song
about the girl crying and waiting.

00:42:47.360 --> 00:42:50.512
You! Wave that towel over me—
and don't let me catch a cold!

00:42:51.680 --> 00:42:53.432
And you, you little punk...

00:42:55.400 --> 00:42:57.118
Kill flies. Nonstop.

00:42:59.400 --> 00:43:00.720
Listen up!

00:43:01.640 --> 00:43:03.517
Know what joy a rookie has left?

00:43:03.880 --> 00:43:05.029
No idea, sir!

00:43:05.480 --> 00:43:08.791
Every rookie eventually becomes an old-timer.

00:43:09.400 --> 00:43:13.951
Old-timers live in paradise—
everybody loves them.

00:43:14.880 --> 00:43:18.919
They become firemen, just to score
a free trip to the union sanatorium.

00:43:21.120 --> 00:43:24.431
Big-breasted girls weep
for the old-timer who's going home.

00:43:25.520 --> 00:43:28.512
Because he'll never
have to serve again.

00:43:29.200 --> 00:43:30.838
That's how we bonded.

00:43:31.600 --> 00:43:37.755
They hang weights on the ears
of victims of sci-fi nonsense.

00:43:39.800 --> 00:43:45.671
Don't believe me? Go and hear
the nightingale's warble

00:43:46.680 --> 00:43:50.071
for those poor souls
hooked on sci-fi dreams.

00:44:19.040 --> 00:44:21.316
Hey rookie!
Is chickenpox deadly?

00:44:22.160 --> 00:44:24.037
No, senior sergeant. Not at all.

00:44:24.480 --> 00:44:26.994
Chickenpox isn't deadly,
but it spreads like wildfire.

00:44:27.280 --> 00:44:30.193
Anyone infected has to be quarantined in the infirmary.

00:44:31.600 --> 00:44:32.920
"Infirmary," you say?

00:44:34.640 --> 00:44:37.075
Lavrov really liked the word "infirmary."

00:44:37.520 --> 00:44:39.636
Hey, bring me one of those reindeer-herders!

00:44:52.560 --> 00:44:54.915
At first, the reindeer-herder was scared of everything.

00:44:55.200 --> 00:44:57.555
He relaxed once we gave him a Prima cigarette.

00:44:58.560 --> 00:45:02.519
Listen, brother—help me out,
and I'll help you.

00:45:04.080 --> 00:45:06.196
We're all brothers.
Peace and love!

00:45:08.560 --> 00:45:11.951
People gotta help each other.
Right? Right?

00:45:18.440 --> 00:45:21.512
He doesn't get it!
Still clueless after a year of service!

00:45:22.200 --> 00:45:25.989
Hey, savage—spit in my mug, will you?

00:45:39.360 --> 00:45:42.671
That calmed Lavrov down,
and he let the herder go.

00:45:43.040 --> 00:45:46.556
Feeling hopeful about catching something,
he sang a demob song.

00:45:47.080 --> 00:45:48.878
Hey, rookie! Play something!

00:45:53.160 --> 00:45:58.712
Those who demobbed, once the top dogs,
leave their cozy bunks behind.

00:46:00.040 --> 00:46:04.796
Now they just wander drunk through town
in the merry month of May.

00:46:07.560 --> 00:46:12.430
Now they just wander drunk through town
in the merry month of May.

00:46:14.880 --> 00:46:19.556
At the platform, a girl whispers,
crying, "Please, don't go..."

00:46:21.760 --> 00:46:24.752
"No way," says the soldier.

00:46:25.360 --> 00:46:30.036
"From now on, girl's shoulders
are for young-timers only."

00:46:56.120 --> 00:46:59.192
How the herder figured out
he needed to spit in Lavrov's mug...

00:47:00.120 --> 00:47:02.316
Nobody knows. He doesn't
speak a word of Russian.

00:47:03.960 --> 00:47:06.713
Though maybe a few words
aren't completely foreign to him.

00:47:20.560 --> 00:47:25.396
Bomb, go to the mess hall.
Grab leftovers from the dish

00:47:25.920 --> 00:47:28.833
by the wall, smear ‘em all over yourself.

00:47:29.280 --> 00:47:31.556
Take the mess dish and go buy vodka.

00:47:32.000 --> 00:47:35.152
No patrol officer
would touch something that nasty.

00:47:55.360 --> 00:47:57.078
Hey, soldier! Come here!

00:47:59.360 --> 00:48:00.509
What do you want?

00:48:02.400 --> 00:48:03.720
Do you love your mommy?

00:48:04.320 --> 00:48:05.958
Yeah, I love my mom.

00:48:06.320 --> 00:48:10.518
And Auntie Tanya, and Olga Krymova—
she checks quality at our factory.

00:48:11.840 --> 00:48:12.955
Do you like money?

00:48:13.400 --> 00:48:14.799
Very much.

00:48:16.040 --> 00:48:17.678
Then tell us—where's Gena Bobkov?

00:48:18.680 --> 00:48:20.000
Who's Gena Bobkov?

00:48:20.280 --> 00:48:21.839
You blockhead!

00:48:23.640 --> 00:48:24.869
Where's Gena Bobkov?

00:48:25.640 --> 00:48:26.789
I don't know.

00:48:27.240 --> 00:48:28.310
Then find out!

00:48:29.000 --> 00:48:30.877
We're his brothers.

00:48:32.920 --> 00:48:36.470
But don't tell him that—
he might get embarrassed.

00:48:38.360 --> 00:48:39.475
Alright.

00:48:40.000 --> 00:48:41.798
You'll get a little extra...

00:48:43.280 --> 00:48:45.635
...if you find out
where Gena Bobkov is.

00:48:47.440 --> 00:48:49.795
Yeah—find that jackal!

00:48:50.960 --> 00:48:53.076
Okay, I'll do it.

00:48:55.520 --> 00:48:57.636
Bomb figured they were American spies.

00:48:58.160 --> 00:49:00.754
But still promised to ask around
about Gena Bobkov.

00:49:01.200 --> 00:49:04.591
He spent the money on a box of eclairs
and three bottles of vodka.

00:49:05.200 --> 00:49:06.952
Then dropped by a bookstore.

00:49:12.000 --> 00:49:13.718
Miss!
Got "Science and Life"?

00:49:14.800 --> 00:49:16.757
Science—yes. Life—not really.

00:49:18.480 --> 00:49:21.632
Last winter, my husband went fishing—
caught a chill.

00:49:22.000 --> 00:49:24.992
Now he's basically a souvenir.
Only thing left standing is his mustache.

00:49:25.440 --> 00:49:27.795
If it weren't for you soldiers,
I'd probably be in tears.

00:49:28.240 --> 00:49:31.631
Come to the back room,
I'll give you a candy.

00:49:34.000 --> 00:49:36.469
No thanks. Just give me
"Young Technician" magazine.

00:49:43.760 --> 00:49:45.239
By the second bottle...

00:49:45.600 --> 00:49:48.513
...I blurted out that
my name is Gena Bobkov.

00:49:49.520 --> 00:49:51.477
Yep. I'm that Gena Bobkov.

00:49:56.680 --> 00:49:59.877
Wanting the rest of the money,
Lavrov decided to negotiate.

00:50:00.320 --> 00:50:04.598
He had his little brother,
Junior Sergeant Lavrov,

00:50:05.040 --> 00:50:08.590
called into the infirmary,
along with Corporal Galagura.

00:50:09.520 --> 00:50:13.150
Galagura showed up right away.

00:50:14.640 --> 00:50:16.916
The sergeants kicked us out
to hold a private meeting.

00:50:17.680 --> 00:50:20.911
They cleared the room to talk things over.

00:50:31.440 --> 00:50:33.477
Are you an only child?

00:50:35.680 --> 00:50:37.079
Buddy, you gotta run.

00:50:46.800 --> 00:50:48.279
I didn't make it.

00:50:48.640 --> 00:50:50.438
Hey, are you guys nuts?

00:50:52.320 --> 00:50:55.676
The sergeants decided to bring in
Farukh Gazimov, the bread-cutter...

00:50:56.440 --> 00:50:59.273
...and Quartermaster Gera Liberman
as translators.

00:50:59.640 --> 00:51:02.553
Liberman was tracked down
in the storage room.

00:51:02.920 --> 00:51:05.434
He was high on solvent fumes.

00:51:05.960 --> 00:51:08.474
Gera, you in here?

00:51:09.400 --> 00:51:11.676
I'm here, I'm there...
I am... eternity.

00:51:13.720 --> 00:51:16.951
You idiot! Don't you know
how to talk to a quartermaster?

00:51:18.520 --> 00:51:22.514
Look, quartermaster!
That's not yours — that's free! Swoop in! Bite it!

00:51:24.160 --> 00:51:25.230
Ladies, what'll you drink?

00:51:26.480 --> 00:51:28.118
Guys, please don't do this.

00:51:51.440 --> 00:51:53.317
We've got the goods.
You're the buyers.

00:51:53.680 --> 00:51:55.318
So show us the cash!

00:51:56.400 --> 00:51:59.472
Ulugbek screwed up.
"We've got money."

00:52:01.800 --> 00:52:03.757
He flashed the cash and lost...

00:52:04.040 --> 00:52:06.156
...his consciousness — and his front teeth.

00:52:10.640 --> 00:52:11.789
That's that.

00:52:14.000 --> 00:52:16.992
Don't wander around our unit like that again.

00:52:19.280 --> 00:52:22.033
We didn't take their gold crowns.
Too picky for that.

00:52:23.840 --> 00:52:26.195
Let's trade this pistol for snacks.

00:52:28.200 --> 00:52:31.192
The ring's stuck —
we'll have to cut off the finger.

00:52:32.280 --> 00:52:35.750
But we didn't amputate anything.
We used soap.

00:52:39.080 --> 00:52:41.037
If you miss us —
drop by anytime.

00:52:41.560 --> 00:52:43.915
Remember — the army is a mother to the worthy,

00:52:44.280 --> 00:52:46.078
and a mother-in-law to the weak.

00:52:48.040 --> 00:52:49.678
So, how much do you owe the civvies?

00:52:51.160 --> 00:52:52.480
Enough to buy a battleship.

00:52:52.840 --> 00:52:54.672
I hope all your civilian creditors show up here?

00:52:55.440 --> 00:52:58.512
- You bet they will.
- Recruit, you're a true soldier.

00:53:01.440 --> 00:53:03.954
Thanks to you, we'll be going home
in foot-cloths by Dior.

00:53:04.560 --> 00:53:06.517
- Take care, alright?
- What's up?

00:53:08.560 --> 00:53:09.959
Where is everyone?

00:53:10.240 --> 00:53:11.389
Even the birds went quiet.

00:53:11.760 --> 00:53:14.195
- Chief's coming!
- Everyone to shelter!

00:53:18.560 --> 00:53:22.474
You bastards! I'll rip you apart!
Rot in a penal battalion!

00:53:22.920 --> 00:53:24.877
I'll shoot you like mad dogs!

00:53:27.160 --> 00:53:28.389
Who was that?

00:53:28.840 --> 00:53:32.310
Major General Talalayev,
our unit's commander.

00:53:33.800 --> 00:53:34.835
Crisis averted.

00:53:39.880 --> 00:53:42.554
Senior Sergeant!
Visitors are standing by in full!

00:53:43.080 --> 00:53:46.630
Zero casualties! Spirits high!
Awaiting your next command!

00:53:47.240 --> 00:53:50.039
Well done, soldier!
You may rest now.

00:53:50.400 --> 00:53:51.879
Thank you, Sergeant!

00:54:02.040 --> 00:54:04.714
A nurse recently joined the infirmary.

00:54:05.160 --> 00:54:08.232
I touched her once —
lost all inner peace. She's divine...

00:54:10.360 --> 00:54:13.637
...red ears, nose full of blackheads...

00:54:13.840 --> 00:54:16.036
...a butt like an orange rind.

00:54:17.120 --> 00:54:18.440
A real Valkyrie.

00:54:20.320 --> 00:54:22.994
Pull the pin —
don't let go of the lever!

00:54:34.200 --> 00:54:36.953
For three days straight, our senior fellows

00:54:37.320 --> 00:54:40.073
continued spending the Aliev brothers' money.
Besides weed,

00:54:40.840 --> 00:54:45.391
they stocked up on "essentials"
and drew up an army bar menu.

00:54:46.160 --> 00:54:49.551
Most popular were the "Surface-to-Air" cocktails—

00:54:51.040 --> 00:54:53.475
two-thirds beer,
one-third vodka.

00:54:54.160 --> 00:54:56.674
And the legendary "SDI-3"—

00:54:57.040 --> 00:55:00.749
one-third vodka, one-third beer,
one-third weed infusion.

00:55:00.960 --> 00:55:04.271
Gera Liberman was the official mixologist.

00:55:04.560 --> 00:55:06.676
Didn't take long before he started seeing things.

00:55:22.760 --> 00:55:27.914
I see a UFO over HQ.
It's green.

00:55:30.040 --> 00:55:34.238
Green object confirmed.

00:55:37.560 --> 00:55:39.710
WILD BOAR - SAMURAI

00:55:40.800 --> 00:55:44.270
They sent Kopter to a pig farm
for his own safety.

00:55:44.720 --> 00:55:47.473
And they sent us too — me, Bayonet, and Bomb —

00:55:48.000 --> 00:55:50.116
for quarantine, before the oath ceremony.

00:55:51.600 --> 00:55:51.873
A pig farm's where they grow pork.

00:55:56.720 --> 00:55:59.951
No way they'll let us near the pigs.
They'll send us

00:56:00.240 --> 00:56:02.595
to guard the shooting range — our specialty.

00:56:02.880 --> 00:56:04.917
And entertain the generals, of course.

00:56:06.200 --> 00:56:07.520
So what's the plan?

00:56:08.200 --> 00:56:10.794
Saturday — they bring a pig from the farm,

00:56:11.320 --> 00:56:13.994
and some bigwigs from town
with Father-Chief.

00:56:14.440 --> 00:56:15.794
To eat it?

00:56:16.000 --> 00:56:20.039
They'll machine-gun it like Hitler.
If they can hit it, that is.

00:56:24.320 --> 00:56:27.392
- What do they feed you here?
- Stale crusts and water.

00:56:27.680 --> 00:56:30.752
Comrade Demob, when do we
actually get something to eat?

00:56:31.120 --> 00:56:33.316
Never, rookie.
Welcome to the army.

00:56:33.680 --> 00:56:36.274
Once we arrived,
the first thing we did was look around.

00:56:37.200 --> 00:56:40.033
Cheer up. There's a beautiful
Russian tradition of saying goodbye...

00:56:40.600 --> 00:56:45.117
...people leave fresh food and drinks on the graves of the departed.

00:56:47.400 --> 00:56:48.629
I'm scared of the dead.

00:56:49.000 --> 00:56:50.638
Nonsense! Bullet, you coming?

00:56:51.160 --> 00:56:53.276
Nah, my leg's numb from sitting.

00:56:56.600 --> 00:56:59.752
We really liked it. We were supposed to live in a van.

00:57:00.840 --> 00:57:01.989
I'm hungry.

00:57:03.880 --> 00:57:05.837
People always ask me three things:

00:57:07.080 --> 00:57:12.029
Why I joined the army, how old I am, and why the hair on my chest is dyed.

00:57:13.120 --> 00:57:14.519
Let's start with the last one.

00:57:15.040 --> 00:57:18.920
My chest hair got dyed because I spilled missile fuel on it.

00:57:20.560 --> 00:57:22.915
I'm twenty-nine. Big birthday coming up.

00:57:23.440 --> 00:57:25.078
And I joined the army because

00:57:25.600 --> 00:57:28.353
my wife and mother-in-law tried to have me committed — for my beliefs.

00:57:30.320 --> 00:57:32.516
You see any gophers over there?

00:57:34.640 --> 00:57:37.632
- No, I don't.
- Me neither. But there is one.

00:57:40.400 --> 00:57:41.435
Got it.

00:58:10.840 --> 00:58:13.195
My condolences, madam. I know how you feel.

00:58:14.600 --> 00:58:16.750
You've been through this?

00:58:17.440 --> 00:58:20.512
No, but I hope to. I mean — the other way around. You get it?

00:58:22.440 --> 00:58:25.831
I get you. I'm Larisa,

00:58:26.760 --> 00:58:28.558
widow of Pyotr Alexeyevich.

00:58:30.840 --> 00:58:33.593
I'm Vladislav, widower of Zinaida Petrovna.

00:58:34.360 --> 00:58:36.158
Shall we go for a walk, Larisa?

00:58:36.520 --> 00:58:40.036
Take in the sights... and share our sorrow. As much as we can, of course.

00:58:40.400 --> 00:58:41.959
Sure.

00:58:42.480 --> 00:58:43.879
Let it out — as much as we can.

00:58:45.440 --> 00:58:47.238
Such beautiful crypts here.

00:58:52.880 --> 00:58:54.678
They're from the last century — made of cast iron.

00:58:57.360 --> 00:58:59.795
I love cast iron. I love crypts.

00:59:00.720 --> 00:59:03.553
Meanwhile, as Bayonet explored the cemetery,

00:59:04.880 --> 00:59:08.714
Bomb was trying to tame the local stray dogs.

00:59:09.240 --> 00:59:12.631
Bomb was trying to tame the local cemetery dogs.

00:59:18.880 --> 00:59:20.279
Dogs!

00:59:21.200 --> 00:59:23.430
I'll say this right away — I ain't eating dogs.

00:59:25.400 --> 00:59:26.629
I like dogs alive.

00:59:28.680 --> 00:59:29.750
As you wish.

00:59:39.880 --> 00:59:43.589
Still, the clever beasts weren't rushing into the trap.

00:59:44.280 --> 00:59:47.591
Where's Bayonet? Bet he scarfed it all down himself.

01:00:00.320 --> 01:00:03.153
You're hopeless, Reefer. Always starving.

01:00:06.160 --> 01:00:08.913
Only in the wind can you truly breathe.

01:00:16.600 --> 01:00:20.355
The day flew by unnoticed. We had a little bite,

01:00:20.720 --> 01:00:23.792
eating the food Bayonet brought from the cemetery.

01:00:24.240 --> 01:00:26.675
Honestly, the army has its perks.

01:00:27.520 --> 01:00:30.672
No one really chases after soldiers. Makes relationships more sincere.

01:00:32.400 --> 01:00:34.437
And there's order too.

01:00:36.640 --> 01:00:39.154
The key in the army — don't miss your chance.

01:00:42.480 --> 01:00:43.800
I'm going to sleep.

01:00:46.760 --> 01:00:49.593
I dreamed about the Aliev brothers again.

01:00:57.600 --> 01:01:00.831
Later, frogmen. See you in hell.

01:01:02.320 --> 01:01:05.073
- Whoa, that was close.
- Yeah, big time.

01:01:28.880 --> 01:01:31.156
Can't sleep, huh, soon-to-be-civilian?

01:01:35.680 --> 01:01:37.796
I'll have plenty of time to sleep in the afterlife.

01:01:38.320 --> 01:01:40.675
Just thinking about life. What it all means.

01:01:49.720 --> 01:01:51.119
Look at him pine.

01:01:51.560 --> 01:01:52.789
Who?

01:01:53.080 --> 01:01:54.559
The dark-skinned demob.

01:01:56.120 --> 01:01:58.873
Comrade quartermaster,
what's a black demob?

01:02:01.720 --> 01:02:03.996
Ah! That's an old tale...

01:02:04.760 --> 01:02:09.436
There was this guy, about to demob,
in an artillery unit near Kiev.

01:02:10.600 --> 01:02:14.912
He had just three days and nights
left to serve.

01:02:16.160 --> 01:02:20.518
He was in love with a nurse
named Olesya from a nearby village.

01:02:21.520 --> 01:02:23.716
They were planning to get married.

01:02:24.480 --> 01:02:27.836
But there was also a warrant officer
in the unit...

01:02:28.360 --> 01:02:30.795
A real bastard.
He had his eye on Olesya too.

01:02:31.480 --> 01:02:33.437
And one night...

01:02:39.320 --> 01:02:43.837
The poor guy was sent home in a coffin —
his head sewn back onto his body.

01:02:44.360 --> 01:02:47.352
They wrote he died heroically —

01:02:47.720 --> 01:02:49.518
fell from a tree onto an axe.

01:02:50.200 --> 01:02:53.431
Two years passed,
Olesya cried herself dry...

01:02:53.760 --> 01:02:56.673
...and agreed to marry
the warrant officer. The killer.

01:03:02.440 --> 01:03:04.636
Suddenly — a knock at the door.

01:03:04.920 --> 01:03:08.390
A hooded figure walks in
holding a covered tray.

01:03:17.080 --> 01:03:19.196
"Who are you?!" — yells the warrant.

01:03:19.880 --> 01:03:22.394
The head on the tray
opens its eyes and screams:

01:03:22.920 --> 01:03:26.117
"Fuck you!
I'm the Black Demob!"

01:03:27.800 --> 01:03:30.155
The lights went out —
and when they came back on...

01:03:30.600 --> 01:03:33.160
...everyone in the house
was dead.

01:03:34.400 --> 01:03:36.277
Since then...

01:03:36.720 --> 01:03:40.350
...the Black Demob roams the earth
looking for his bride.

01:03:40.960 --> 01:03:43.634
And his black soul still finds no peace.

01:03:45.840 --> 01:03:47.877
Yeah... heavy stuff.

01:03:49.280 --> 01:03:52.591
Army drama, man...
Shakespeare, army-style.

01:03:53.600 --> 01:03:56.672
Same old story:
life, tears, love...

01:03:57.120 --> 01:04:00.272
...and everything goes by the book.
God save us.

01:04:04.800 --> 01:04:06.438
Speaking of love...

01:04:06.800 --> 01:04:09.394
After the bayonet's
grand return at the cemetery,

01:04:09.840 --> 01:04:13.037
the female half of the town —
mainly the widows, of course —

01:04:13.720 --> 01:04:17.350
gathered at the library
around Pyotr Alexeyevich's widow.

01:04:17.880 --> 01:04:20.952
No one knows what she was saying,
but while talking...

01:04:21.400 --> 01:04:24.074
...the pink-cheeked widow
was laughing out loud

01:04:24.440 --> 01:04:27.353
and making wild gestures —
like a fisherman bragging about a pike

01:04:27.720 --> 01:04:29.916
he supposedly caught last night.

01:04:34.040 --> 01:04:36.156
And then came Saturday...

01:04:37.480 --> 01:04:40.836
The air was thick
with that creepy festive vibe.

01:06:01.600 --> 01:06:04.433
Oh god... who's the commander
gonna torture now?

01:06:05.760 --> 01:06:07.194
I'll confess everything.

01:06:08.280 --> 01:06:11.432
Then he'll shoot you on the spot
and write "sudden death by dysentery."

01:06:11.960 --> 01:06:14.474
Better we send you to rustle
in the bushes like a wild boar.

01:06:16.000 --> 01:06:19.595
Is he gonna shoot at me?

01:06:20.600 --> 01:06:21.829
Of course!

01:06:22.200 --> 01:06:26.080
Sometimes he misses,
but not often.

01:06:26.600 --> 01:06:27.999
Brilliant idea.

01:06:29.640 --> 01:06:31.836
I don't like this...

01:06:32.280 --> 01:06:34.954
Witnesses usually get killed.

01:06:35.240 --> 01:06:37.914
Maybe I'll go to the farm
and try to grab another pig?

01:06:38.200 --> 01:06:40.476
No use. They won't give it to you.

01:06:41.080 --> 01:06:44.755
The supply guy there's a naturist.
Nickname: "Führer." From Kharkiv.

01:07:02.840 --> 01:07:05.116
Talalayev and his friends showed up at sunset.

01:07:37.080 --> 01:07:41.074
After a quick tea break,
the generals switched to beer.

01:07:42.080 --> 01:07:45.710
Then came the port,
and of course, vodka joined the party.

01:07:54.960 --> 01:07:56.598
Release the boar.

01:08:01.360 --> 01:08:03.556
Farewell, Bomb.

01:08:14.600 --> 01:08:15.670
Goodbye...

01:08:36.320 --> 01:08:38.516
I think the fat rookie's dead.

01:08:40.880 --> 01:08:43.759
But then we heard grunting again.

01:09:10.160 --> 01:09:11.878
Tough bastard, that boar.

01:09:20.840 --> 01:09:25.198
Meanwhile, Bayonet was
entertaining widow number four... and five.

01:09:25.800 --> 01:09:29.509
They adored his gentle touch.

01:09:30.040 --> 01:09:33.271
Plus, unlike the local men,
he had one big advantage —

01:09:33.720 --> 01:09:37.600
he didn't try to smack them on the back
mid-orgasm.

01:09:37.960 --> 01:09:41.510
Though it did puzzle him
that some "dearly departed" had two or more widows.

01:09:41.960 --> 01:09:44.998
Go figure.

01:10:05.880 --> 01:10:08.394
- The target's hit.
- The boar's getting away.

01:10:11.480 --> 01:10:12.629
We need to finish it with a knife.

01:10:36.720 --> 01:10:38.597
We had to rescue Bomb.

01:10:40.320 --> 01:10:43.073
Comrade General,
let me go catch the pig myself!

01:10:43.360 --> 01:10:46.591
- Worried about the rear admiral?
- Yeah! Boars are dangerous.

01:10:47.040 --> 01:10:49.316
He might trample Semyonych
without warning.

01:10:49.680 --> 01:10:52.115
I don't care about Semyonych.

01:10:53.800 --> 01:10:55.598
You've got your own general.

01:10:56.760 --> 01:10:58.319
He's bored stiff.

01:11:11.760 --> 01:11:14.752
So what are we betting in this game?

01:11:17.760 --> 01:11:18.989
Money.

01:11:19.960 --> 01:11:23.749
Money's boring.
I'm ready to die like a real soldier.

01:11:26.120 --> 01:11:27.519
I'm ready to lose my head.

01:11:29.240 --> 01:11:31.709
That's exactly what I was going to suggest.

01:11:34.000 --> 01:11:36.992
Take the gun, put in one bullet,
and hand it over.

01:11:51.160 --> 01:11:53.117
So, soldier...

01:11:53.480 --> 01:11:57.189
Have a drink — for courage.
Enjoy your last moments.

01:12:25.440 --> 01:12:26.919
Golden eagle...

01:12:28.400 --> 01:12:30.994
I could turn my back on you
in a bathhouse.

01:12:34.320 --> 01:12:35.469
Again?

01:12:36.000 --> 01:12:37.229
What a load of crap.

01:12:37.840 --> 01:12:41.071
Lucky for me,
I never loaded the gun.

01:12:42.280 --> 01:12:44.954
Considering what I'd heard
about the general's temper...

01:12:45.320 --> 01:12:47.834
...I figured better safe than sorry.

01:13:09.920 --> 01:13:11.718
Still sitting here, soldier?

01:13:13.680 --> 01:13:14.954
I'm watching the UFO.

01:13:15.200 --> 01:13:16.838
What UFO?

01:13:17.360 --> 01:13:19.954
Totally normal one —
earth-made, emerald green.

01:13:21.280 --> 01:13:22.918
It shows up here all the time.

01:13:23.920 --> 01:13:25.399
Good to know.

01:13:26.160 --> 01:13:27.309
Why green?

01:13:30.600 --> 01:13:33.114
A real UFO is always red.

01:13:34.040 --> 01:13:37.749
The red ones are from Mars.
The green ones — from Venus.

01:13:40.760 --> 01:13:44.151
Red ones aren't even from our galaxy.

01:13:47.640 --> 01:13:52.077
Yeah, figures — they don't land
like we do.

01:13:54.120 --> 01:13:57.715
True that. They're way out there.

01:14:02.840 --> 01:14:06.754
Sometimes they've got one head.
Sometimes two.

01:14:08.000 --> 01:14:11.470
Creepy. I don't trust those things.

01:14:13.920 --> 01:14:17.959
They say some can zap into your brain
with rays or something.

01:14:21.920 --> 01:14:23.638
Give me that.

01:14:29.120 --> 01:14:31.396
Aviation-grade. No sediment.

01:14:31.840 --> 01:14:33.592
The best stuff should go to kids.

01:14:33.960 --> 01:14:35.519
To American kids!

01:14:35.800 --> 01:14:38.394
Comrade Lieutenant General,
I've been meaning to ask...

01:14:39.720 --> 01:14:41.119
What do you think about the yeti?

01:14:41.480 --> 01:14:43.596
Yeti? You gotta wash those often.

01:14:44.920 --> 01:14:46.797
No, I mean the abominable snowman.

01:14:52.120 --> 01:14:57.115
Then go ask the rear admiral.
He once saw Atlantis.

01:14:57.800 --> 01:15:00.189
But the rear admiral
wasn't thinking about Atlantis.

01:15:00.960 --> 01:15:03.554
He was thrashing through the bushes,
desperately trying to catch

01:15:03.840 --> 01:15:06.593
that slippery little piglet.

01:15:06.840 --> 01:15:08.911
The actor-pig — a.k.a. Bomb —
and now it was clear why —

01:15:09.400 --> 01:15:11.550
just wouldn't let himself get caught.

01:16:17.760 --> 01:16:19.080
Commodore?

01:16:20.480 --> 01:16:22.756
Not me. I'm just the watchman.

01:16:23.440 --> 01:16:26.751
Get ready to leave, kids.
The cemetery's opening.

01:16:27.200 --> 01:16:30.511
Mourners are coming.
They won't be happy to see you.

01:16:57.280 --> 01:17:00.830
Talalayev, shut down
your experiments.

01:17:08.960 --> 01:17:11.474
Turns out the piglet's a mutant.

01:17:12.000 --> 01:17:15.231
Gave me a black eye
and stole my dagger.

01:17:16.720 --> 01:17:18.199
We'll make a note of that.

01:17:22.840 --> 01:17:26.470
Well, that was fun.
Let's go, guys.

01:17:34.840 --> 01:17:36.069
Good soldier.

01:17:37.720 --> 01:17:40.234
You entertained me.
Now, you understand — there's no retreat.

01:17:40.680 --> 01:17:42.239
Moscow's behind us.

01:17:42.920 --> 01:17:43.990
Got it.

01:18:21.560 --> 01:18:24.473
- So, how you doing?
- Could be better.

01:18:31.480 --> 01:18:35.030
We hugged and just stood there,
staring off at the horizon,

01:18:35.480 --> 01:18:37.710
where our glorious future awaited us.

01:18:38.640 --> 01:18:41.632
A few days later,
we took the military oath.

01:18:41.920 --> 01:18:44.753
They gave me a sheet with the text.
I stood at the line.

01:18:45.120 --> 01:18:47.157
And then suddenly,
Talalayev appeared.

01:18:47.920 --> 01:18:54.155
"Soldiers! You know what I'm gonna say.
And I know what you'll answer."

01:18:56.920 --> 01:18:59.355
"In short — serve!"

01:19:39.080 --> 01:19:41.356
Talalayev handed out submachine guns.

01:19:42.360 --> 01:19:46.558
To those who didn't get one,
he gave shovels.

01:19:58.200 --> 01:19:59.838
Read it, Golden Eagle.

01:20:02.680 --> 01:20:04.956
I, Gennady Romanovich Bobkov,

01:20:05.320 --> 01:20:08.950
solemnly swear allegiance
to my Motherland — the Russian Federation.

01:20:10.040 --> 01:20:12.634
What is life?
A game.

01:20:13.560 --> 01:20:16.074
And the real game starts
when your health —

01:20:16.520 --> 01:20:18.875
or even better, your life —
is on the line.

01:20:19.320 --> 01:20:23.871
No one lays out more cards than the army.
It's the only place that unlocks your true reserves.

01:20:25.360 --> 01:20:28.193
It turns stale dreamers
into conquerors of star meridians —

01:20:28.640 --> 01:20:31.632
and other galactic commodities.

01:20:32.920 --> 01:20:36.231
Take me, for instance.
What was I before — and what am I now?

01:20:36.840 --> 01:20:38.956
To put it lightly...
I became everything.

01:20:39.240 --> 01:20:42.517
Why?
Because I'm a Russian soldier.

01:20:44.720 --> 01:20:46.597
And a Russian soldier never gives up.

01:20:46.880 --> 01:20:48.598
He's got nothing to lose anyway.

01:20:48.880 --> 01:20:51.793
That, my friends,
is our biggest military secret.
