They're crying. You know how hard it is with them! 00:36:45.140 --> 00:36:47.930 - They're calling, "Daddy, Daddy." - What are you getting at? 00:36:48.030 --> 00:36:51.670 - You're eating ice cream while they cry. - You're insane. 00:36:52.190 --> 00:36:54.190 I'll call the beat cop! 00:36:54.980 --> 00:36:59.230 Yes, ma'am—dear lady. A woman ought to have some pride. 00:36:59.330 --> 00:37:01.570 - Poor thing. - Get off me. 00:37:02.710 --> 00:37:06.650 Yes, a woman should have pride. 00:37:08.220 --> 00:37:12.480 - Well?

It's his weak spot. 00:38:43.080 --> 00:38:45.120 I won't. I'm not an idiot. 00:38:45.890 --> 00:38:50.740 - Woman, feed me. - You staying with us? 00:38:50.990 --> 00:38:53.140 Here and there. However it goes. 00:38:55.100 --> 00:39:00.430 From this day I don't respect you as a person. And we're done with the radio. 00:39:02.020 --> 00:39:04.130 Don't respect me, then. 00:39:28.510 --> 00:39:30.560 Like so. 00:40:15.230 --> 00:40:17.140 There. 00:40:24.680 --> 00:40:27.180 No, over here. 00:40:45.710 --> 00:40:47.770 Scared them. 00:41:03.250 --> 00:41:05.300 Scared them! 00:41:10.040 --> 00:41:12.230 Ow, my head. Ow. 00:41:14.530 --> 00:41:16.630 Did your guys open fire or what? 00:41:16.630 --> 00:41:18.730 No one fired! The wardrobe fell over! 00:41:22.340 --> 00:41:24.410 Come on, move. 00:42:26.230 --> 00:42:30.540 We're going to sleep now. Tomorrow I'll take you to work with me. 00:42:30.540 --> 00:42:32.700 We'll be catching bandits. 00:42:32.800 --> 00:42:36.870 - Lay off. - The man's dead. What can you do now? 00:42:50.570 --> 00:42:54.160 Had a nip. Can't stand on his feet. 00:42:54.470 --> 00:42:59.430 I ask that you never loop the hook. 00:43:07.660 --> 00:43:10.820 Oh great, Big-Nose showed up! 00:43:12.190 --> 00:43:14.300 You're not living alone! Not alone! 00:43:14.300 --> 00:43:18.540 What is this behavior at home? And look at the state you're in! 00:43:18.780 --> 00:43:22.790 What's your problem? Why are you yelling? Why are you yelling at me? 00:43:23.270 --> 00:43:25.270 Don't push it, kid—don't push it. 00:43:25.270 --> 00:43:27.280 Why are you yelling at me! 00:43:27.340 --> 00:43:30.450 Tomorrow report to Dobuzhinsky I've jailed you for ten days! 00:43:30.480 --> 00:43:33.120 - If he fell, finish him with the bayonet! - Don't push it, kid. 00:43:33.350 --> 00:43:37.400 - I'll tell you exactly what I think of you. - Don't push it. 00:43:37.660 --> 00:43:41.820 - And that trip—pure madness... - Come on, I'll patch you up. Let's go, let's go. 00:43:42.340 --> 00:43:45.260 - And stop worrying. - Like a walking corpse! 00:43:45.360 --> 00:43:48.900 That crazy trip trampled everything—crushed it all. 00:43:49.000 --> 00:43:50.900 - Exactly. - A nightmare. 00:43:51.070 --> 00:43:54.500 So high-and-mighty. And he even took her to the office! 00:43:54.500 --> 00:43:57.530 I wonder why he took her there. 00:43:59.280 --> 00:44:03.620 I'll lock her up. Khanin, I'll have her put away. 00:44:03.740 --> 00:44:09.940 Yes. Okoshkina? Comrade Okoshkin's on assignment. To Rylsk. 00:44:10.040 --> 00:44:13.380 - I'd raise a glass to Papanin's team right now. - Yep, ten days. 00:44:13.450 --> 00:44:15.710 - And I won't. - Oh, you will. 00:44:16.250 --> 00:44:18.470 And good day to you. 00:44:19.150 --> 00:44:21.590 - You will. - Let go—you'll drown me, bastard! 00:44:23.220 --> 00:44:28.070 - C'mon, one more, huh? - Take off the scarf; you'll choke me. 00:44:35.950 --> 00:44:40.960 So Khanin moved in with Lapshin, and there were six of us under one roof. 00:44:52.480 --> 00:44:54.950 Kashin, look. See? My eyes are blue. 00:44:54.950 --> 00:44:57.430 Blue? Yours are blue too. Well—kind of pale. 00:44:57.430 --> 00:44:59.910 And the Tatar's are black? I'm asking—are a Tatar's eyes black? 00:45:00.010 --> 00:45:03.280 - Uh... wait... I can't say. - What color are a Tatar's eyes? 00:45:03.380 --> 00:45:05.930 - Tatar-colored. - Ha! A Tatar has Tatar eyes. 00:45:06.030 --> 00:45:08.340 No—Asian. Asian. 00:45:08.340 --> 00:45:10.760 Let me go, Comrade Chief. I'll hang myself in jail. 00:45:10.860 --> 00:45:14.820 Hanging's not allowed today. We're banning that. 00:45:14.820 --> 00:45:16.850 You, Kashin, have gone rabid. 00:45:16.850 --> 00:45:20.910 You ought to be shot like a mad dog. Sorry. 00:45:21.430 --> 00:45:23.670 He definitely needs shooting. 00:45:25.300 --> 00:45:29.000 For what? For what, Comrade Chief? I'm not guilty. 00:45:29.090 --> 00:45:31.680 Hush. Sit down, Kashin—no walking around. 00:45:31.780 --> 00:45:34.290 I can't even punch a man. 00:45:34.290 --> 00:45:36.800 Solovyov hit him twice, and the Tatar once. 00:45:36.900 --> 00:45:40.230 Alright, Kashin—so, according to the paperwork, 00:45:40.360 --> 00:45:42.600 you were hired on October 30 for temporary work 00:45:42.600 --> 00:45:44.830 as a cart driver for the construction section... 00:45:45.220 --> 00:45:48.400 really a night watchman. Well, shall we proceed? 00:45:48.810 --> 00:45:53.400 I also worked the slaughter. I took the livers—the offal was my take. 00:45:53.440 --> 00:45:56.050 But I didn't eat it myself; I sold it all at the market. 00:45:56.150 --> 00:45:58.280 - Excuse me. - That's where I met Solovyov. 00:45:58.300 --> 00:46:00.650 - See? A full-on circus here. - Mm-hm, I'll wait for you at forensics. 00:46:00.670 --> 00:46:03.050 Back in Oboyan we worked the slaughterhouse as seasonal hands. 00:46:04.550 --> 00:46:06.790 - That routine? - If I'd known they'd beat that man to death, 00:46:06.790 --> 00:46:09.040 Comrade Chief—I'd never have gone along. 00:46:09.040 --> 00:46:11.280 You understand? I didn't know! I just didn't! 00:46:12.240 --> 00:46:15.190 So he goes, "Grisha, you've got the looks for it." 00:46:15.190 --> 00:46:18.040 Offer it to the gentleman—forgot his last name. 00:46:18.140 --> 00:46:22.300 - Kostelyanin. - My fault, right. Offer him some culls. 00:46:22.400 --> 00:46:27.040 - Sir... I forget all the names. - This one? 00:46:28.000 --> 00:46:30.080 Yeah, the one in that coat. 00:46:30.080 --> 00:46:34.250 He had nine rubles on him. So what? Why'd he come at all, then? 00:46:34.830 --> 00:46:38.390 I pulled out a crate so he could check the beef. 00:46:38.610 --> 00:46:45.560 The gent in the carriage stood up a bit. I'm thinking—what do I do? Don't know. 00:46:46.460 --> 00:46:49.410 Then I see Solovyov coming out of the corridor, 00:46:49.410 --> 00:46:52.360 smiling in this weird way. 00:46:53.450 --> 00:46:57.130 - And he clubs him with the blunt side. - Out of nowhere, huh? 00:46:57.230 --> 00:47:00.350 I said, "What are you doing? I live here!" 00:47:01.130 --> 00:47:06.930 Then the Tatar: "Come on, Grisha, fetch the basin." 00:47:06.930 --> 00:47:09.840 So... a basin. 00:47:12.320 --> 00:47:20.320 I brought one, set it down. Then brought another basin, set it down. 00:47:21.090 --> 00:47:24.200 Question: did Solovyov finish him with the first blow? 00:47:24.300 --> 00:47:29.270 No, not Solovyov. Twice for him, and once for the Tatar. 00:47:30.950 --> 00:47:36.030 - Yeah, why don't you stick your fingers in there too. - Kesha! Kesha!!! 00:47:36.060 --> 00:47:40.290 - Misha. - Misha? What about him? 00:47:41.050 --> 00:47:45.320 Yeah, I took the clothes, so what? Would you rather they tossed them out with the bodies? 00:47:45.340 --> 00:47:47.820 Then why isn't there any blood on your clothes? It splatters. 00:47:47.890 --> 00:47:50.760 I wore an apron! That's all I've got. Just the one outfit. 00:47:50.810 --> 00:47:53.220 Ah, Kashin, Kashin, Kashin... 00:47:54.250 --> 00:47:58.950 I'm not guilty, do you hear me? I'm not guilty!!! 00:47:59.060 --> 00:48:02.650 - Says he "didn't know". - I pointed them all out to you!!! 00:48:02.750 --> 00:48:06.260 I gave you every single one of them!! 00:48:06.260 --> 00:48:09.770 I didn't do anything wrong!!! I didn't... 00:48:22.150 --> 00:48:25.530 Oh really, now's the perfect time to play some dance tunes! 00:48:29.030 --> 00:48:31.130 What? Typical murderer. 00:48:31.130 --> 00:48:33.230 That's what we always called them back in Russia — "soul killers". 00:48:33.820 --> 00:48:36.230 It's fine, we'll clean this land, plant a garden, 00:48:36.230 --> 00:48:38.650 and maybe live long enough to walk through it ourselves. 00:48:39.000 --> 00:48:41.810 I'm an old man now, Vanya... 00:48:46.710 --> 00:48:49.720 Save me the speeches, okay? Seriously, spare me. 00:48:49.820 --> 00:48:51.470 It breaks my heart too, you know. 00:48:51.470 --> 00:48:54.780 But I refuse to buy into the gossip around Mayakovsky's suicide. 00:49:03.010 --> 00:49:06.610 By the way, let me tell you something — in 1938 our country will be... 00:49:06.710 --> 00:49:09.360 - Why aren't we drinking yet? - Four... four million... 00:49:09.460 --> 00:49:11.570 - ...bottles of the finest Abrau-Durso. - Got a pencil? 00:49:11.600 --> 00:49:15.760 - Write it down, that's data. - Wait! The best Abrau-Durso, you said. 00:49:15.860 --> 00:49:20.880 And by the winter of '42 — twelve thousand... 00:49:21.080 --> 00:49:23.340 - Million, I assume? - Million. Millions! 00:49:23.380 --> 00:49:25.670 What's the difference? A thousand here, a million there — broad-minded lady. 00:49:27.310 --> 00:49:29.360 What a slob! 00:49:35.100 --> 00:49:38.420 Pavel Nikolaich, my apologies, really... 00:49:38.420 --> 00:49:41.740 So awkward, forgive me, please, really... 00:49:41.840 --> 00:49:45.810 - Nadenka Olegovna, Nadenka Oleg... - Fascinating. 00:49:45.950 --> 00:49:49.610 Choke on your stupid kettle, you lunatics. 00:49:49.710 --> 00:49:51.930 Ivan Mikhailych, arrest them, so they stop bugging me. 00:49:52.170 --> 00:49:55.760 What's this? Found myself an article in the soup, huh? 00:49:56.040 --> 00:50:00.250 Do you see this, Vanya? Focus! What could this possibly be? Do you see... 00:50:00.350 --> 00:50:01.930 - Idiot. Complete idiot. - Do you see... 00:50:01.960 --> 00:50:03.220 - Enough already. - I'm just happy! 00:50:03.250 --> 00:50:05.320 - If you don't like it, don't eat it! - No, I'll finish reading it! 00:50:05.350 --> 00:50:09.180 The meat was wrapped in newspaper. I didn't rinse it well, that's all. Here, I'll take it. 00:50:09.280 --> 00:50:11.850 No, no, it's fine. I'll finish reading it, then Vanya and I will memorize it. 00:50:11.950 --> 00:50:15.220 - What a moron! - ...I'm happy. See? We're all happy! 00:50:17.420 --> 00:50:20.340 We really are happy, my friends. Aren't we? 00:50:20.340 --> 00:50:23.270 I'm an actress, I don't have to know that stuff. My premiere's in three days. 00:50:27.060 --> 00:50:30.070 - What? - A masterpiece of a dish! 00:50:30.280 --> 00:50:36.030 - Ah yes, the Hanin Punch. - ...from the propeller's wake... vanishes... 00:50:38.860 --> 00:50:42.020 - Borscht with newspaper, punch with matches. - That's it! Enough! 00:50:42.740 --> 00:50:45.060 The poor old lady waits for her son to come home in vain. 00:50:45.060 --> 00:50:47.390 Natashka, wrong song! 00:50:47.680 --> 00:50:55.080 Factories, rise up! Close the ranks! 00:50:55.580 --> 00:51:03.440 March to the battle, step by step! 00:51:03.520 --> 00:51:07.720 Check your aim, load your gun. 00:51:07.720 --> 00:51:11.930 To battle, worker, for your cause! 00:51:12.010 --> 00:51:19.180 To battle, worker, for your cause! 00:51:19.550 --> 00:51:27.310 Comrades in prisons, in cold dark cells... 00:51:27.310 --> 00:51:35.070 We're with you, we're with you, though you can't march with us. 00:51:37.030 --> 00:51:39.290 Ta-da! Hopla! 00:51:40.990 --> 00:51:42.770 Stop talking nonsense... 00:51:49.760 --> 00:51:52.400 Make sure you return it by the premiere, cheapskate. 00:51:53.550 --> 00:51:57.690 Oh wow, speedy one, aren't you? 00:52:04.830 --> 00:52:07.460 Let's go have some tea at my place instead. 00:52:17.150 --> 00:52:20.690 Well, look at that. Hocus-pocus! 00:52:48.660 --> 00:52:50.060 Thank God! 00:52:52.520 --> 00:52:54.580 All right, that's better. 00:53:01.250 --> 00:53:03.430 That's it. Thanks. Off to bed. 00:53:12.200 --> 00:53:15.180 Damn it. 00:53:21.890 --> 00:53:25.370 And there were only two shells. One was mine, and the other blew up the whole depot. 00:53:28.480 --> 00:53:32.070 Man, I was in bad shape. The guys laid me down on the grass. 00:53:34.060 --> 00:53:36.820 Such nice, soft green grass. 00:53:42.610 --> 00:53:45.010 And they said it was just one shell... 00:53:45.010 --> 00:53:49.820 Hit you right in the forehead, bounced off, and wrecked the supply depot. 00:54:02.010 --> 00:54:05.660 And then... uh... 00:54:08.960 --> 00:54:12.000 I don't remember how bad it was, but I remember that grass. 00:54:15.720 --> 00:54:18.630 We really did stare death right in the face, 00:54:18.630 --> 00:54:21.550 and somehow still found joy in everything, huh? 00:54:22.320 --> 00:54:26.170 B. V. You need a spa retreat, that's what you need. 00:54:42.390 --> 00:54:45.410 And the days felt so much longer back then. 00:54:53.600 --> 00:54:56.650 Patrikeevna, you should bake us a sturgeon pie one of these days. 00:55:01.670 --> 00:55:03.590 Sleep, you sleepless souls. 00:55:06.210 --> 00:55:09.070 During the Civil War, Lapshin commanded a cavalry squadron. 00:55:09.070 --> 00:55:11.940 That's when he got shell-shocked. He never treated it. 00:55:11.940 --> 00:55:14.810 And once every year or two he'd suffer 00:55:14.810 --> 00:55:17.680 these terrible fits, 00:55:17.680 --> 00:55:20.550 which filled him with painful shame. 00:55:22.250 --> 00:55:24.340 Sanya, Sanya, what do you say? 00:55:24.470 --> 00:55:26.480 Half the department went off to stage the new play. 00:55:26.480 --> 00:55:28.490 The production flopped. 00:55:28.500 --> 00:55:30.510 To top it off, the wheel of the cart on which Adashova was standing 00:55:30.510 --> 00:55:32.520 suddenly snapped mid-performance. 00:55:35.300 --> 00:55:38.370 I swear!

Do I look like Stenka Razin to you? 00:55:55.700 --> 00:55:59.600 Alyosha, you see how it turned out? 00:55:59.800 --> 00:56:02.870 - What if... - Comrades! 00:56:04.890 --> 00:56:09.960 I'm forming a labor commune out of former thieves. 00:56:12.400 --> 00:56:19.890 Drunkenness means expulsion and disgrace. Understood? I'll take the cart myself. 00:56:20.820 --> 00:56:25.320 Remember this name: Dorokhov. 00:56:25.330 --> 00:56:32.650 Nicknames are abolished here.

And the cart's wheel was as warped as this barrel's hoop. 01:00:49.000 --> 01:00:52.420 The boss yelled and yelled— went blue in the face. I walked out. 01:00:52.520 --> 01:00:57.200 Uh-huh.

Cities like you've never seen. 01:23:27.080 --> 01:23:30.030 - Natasha, tell him to come along. - Oh, stop it... 01:23:32.140 --> 01:23:34.500 - Maybe I'll ride in the back? - Sit tight. 01:23:44.260 --> 01:23:47.410 You better start wearing a belly band again. 01:23:59.440 --> 01:24:01.360 Break it and I'll break your legs. 01:24:11.210 --> 01:24:13.300 In this city, there's a band for every soul. 01:24:13.300 --> 01:24:16.160 And I've had a migraine for two days straight. It's unbearable. 01:24:17.690 --> 01:24:19.880 - Draft's blowing in. - Draft's blowing in. 01:24:19.890 --> 01:24:22.880 Down on the lower deck, a passenger's suitcase got blown clean away. 01:24:22.880 --> 01:24:24.940 Hello, comrades. 01:24:24.940 --> 01:24:27.000 By the way, I've been invited to perform at a theater. 01:24:27.000 --> 01:24:30.170 In Kharkov. I'll play Sancho Panza in Don Quixote. 01:24:33.600 --> 01:24:35.620 I'll put in a good word for Natasha. 01:24:42.530 --> 01:24:45.210 - Wonderful. - My apologies. 01:24:45.210 --> 01:24:49.280 - Why didn't you tell me? - Look at the time. 01:24:49.280 --> 01:24:51.600 There's the clock — half past four. 01:24:56.350 --> 01:24:58.980 Why didn't you tell me anything? 01:24:58.980 --> 01:25:01.610 If you had, it'd be simple. I didn't realize. 01:25:01.610 --> 01:25:05.340 If you hadn't been sick so long, your tongue might be shorter. 01:25:08.740 --> 01:25:10.780 Sometimes I think you're made of iron. 01:25:14.270 --> 01:25:17.740 Forgive me. Don't hold a grudge. 01:25:21.520 --> 01:25:25.860 My head's splitting. It's been pounding for two whole days. 01:25:25.860 --> 01:25:31.150 Do something, will you? It's been two days and it won't stop. 01:25:31.150 --> 01:25:34.050 - If you want, I can... - No, don't. No medicine, please. 01:25:34.050 --> 01:25:37.190 Go to hell with your Kharkov and your stupid mixture! 01:25:37.200 --> 01:25:40.370 - Come on now... - Go on, it's not because of you anyway. 01:25:40.370 --> 01:25:43.230 God, just get out of here already! Go to hell! 01:25:43.230 --> 01:25:46.090 Can't you see you're driving everyone insane here? 01:25:49.050 --> 01:25:51.390 And if you must know, I've got a ticket too. 01:25:51.390 --> 01:25:54.040 Bought it on the seventh. Wait a second! 01:25:54.050 --> 01:25:56.700 You've got cabin 17, and I'm in 22. 01:25:56.700 --> 01:25:59.140 And all my things are there. Really. 01:25:59.140 --> 01:26:01.580 All right then, Moscow it is—finally! 01:26:04.260 --> 01:26:06.910 We're not some Chekhovian ladies, after all. 01:26:11.540 --> 01:26:16.480 Sweetheart! Take me with you! Take me with you... 01:26:16.480 --> 01:26:20.970 I'll die here without you! Okay, okay— just kidding. Just a joke. 01:26:20.980 --> 01:26:24.740 My umbrella's all tangled up anyway. 01:26:47.880 --> 01:26:50.570 Everyone gather around. Like that. 01:26:57.380 --> 01:27:01.470 Hello, "Finish"? Finish! Congratulations on the start of navigation season! 01:27:01.470 --> 01:27:03.510 My warmest congratulations! 01:27:03.510 --> 01:27:06.830 Don't talk back to your grandma! To your grandma, you hear me? 01:27:07.630 --> 01:27:13.810 - "...bayonets flashed..." - "Gleamed," I remember. 01:27:13.810 --> 01:27:19.270 Same thing—it's a folk song anyway. And what about Katya? Napoleon? 01:27:19.270 --> 01:27:22.800 - She went to camp. - Camp? That's good. 01:27:22.800 --> 01:27:26.850 - We're getting visitors from Leningrad. - Uh-huh. 01:27:26.860 --> 01:27:29.460 They're not like us. Tickets for them sold out already. 01:27:32.700 --> 01:27:34.750 You're a lucky man, Ivan Mikhailych. 01:27:34.750 --> 01:27:36.800 Goodbye, of course... 01:27:37.010 --> 01:27:40.480 I've got Khanin, Khanin's got Lika— and you don't care one bit. 01:27:43.620 --> 01:27:49.340 - True enough. - So... will you come visit me? 01:27:52.640 --> 01:27:55.910 I'll drop by sometime. Thanks. 01:27:59.380 --> 01:28:03.060 Feels like none of this is really about me. 01:28:13.120 --> 01:28:17.700 - Dear one... - Lost a galosh... Oh, for heaven's sake! 01:29:15.550 --> 01:29:20.690 Heel, Kaplya. Heel! Sit. 01:29:24.200 --> 01:29:27.420 They called her "Drop," but she's a huge dummy. 01:29:29.510 --> 01:29:31.710 Sit, Kaplya! 01:29:58.480 --> 01:30:00.820 The master returns—carrying a briefcase. 01:30:06.130 --> 01:30:08.240 Hey there, Ivan Mikhailych. How's life? 01:30:09.450 --> 01:30:11.540 Stop swinging, you're making me dizzy. 01:30:12.030 --> 01:30:15.350 Ivan Mikhailych, I've got a favor to ask. Let me move back in with you. 01:30:15.350 --> 01:30:20.170 - Do me a kindness. - What for? 01:30:20.170 --> 01:30:23.220 Those two witches are draining the life out of me. 01:30:24.390 --> 01:30:26.500 Grinding me into cutlets. I just like my tea sweet. 01:30:26.500 --> 01:30:28.600 What, can't I afford a bit of sugar? 01:30:28.600 --> 01:30:30.270 Come on, Vasya, you do eat too much sugar. 01:30:30.270 --> 01:30:32.450 Then go ahead—kill me now! 01:30:36.550 --> 01:30:40.150 They sent me for herring. Told me to get some for three kopecks. 01:30:40.150 --> 01:30:43.300 They'll get nothing! No herring for them. 01:30:44.580 --> 01:30:46.620 They'll whip you into shape. 01:30:48.260 --> 01:30:50.860 You'll be tame as a lamb. Come on, take it off. 01:30:59.910 --> 01:31:03.370 - You need to work, that's what. - Oh sure, Capablanca! 01:31:09.900 --> 01:31:12.120 White pieces! Guess luck's on my side now. 01:31:14.710 --> 01:31:16.900 Just one of those years, I guess. 01:31:54.480 --> 01:31:58.650 - I'm leaving for retraining. - Retraining... 01:31:58.650 --> 01:32:04.080 Reforging, reshaping... castling... 01:32:04.080 --> 01:32:06.020 I'm castling out. 01:34:11.530 --> 01:34:16.000 And our town keeps pushing farther, past the Uncha River. 01:34:16.000 --> 01:34:19.430 Out on the steppe it piles house upon house. 01:34:19.430 --> 01:34:24.800 It fills the ravines, tears down, builds up, and seals it all with asphalt. 01:34:24.800 --> 01:34:27.960 My neighbor complains: at rush hour the street 01:34:27.960 --> 01:34:31.120 is impossible to cross— so many people, so many cars. 01:34:31.120 --> 01:34:34.840 And more tram numbers keep appearing. 01:34:34.840 --> 01:34:37.320 Every year—a new route. 01:34:37.320 --> 01:34:42.510 Once, there were only the first and the second. Yes... 01:34:44.310 --> 01:34:45.310 The End.
