What was I supposed to do?
This lady was yelling,
"My dear Andrei!"
I had to go into that vent.
I can only imagine your
reaction when you realized
that Andrei was a cat.
You wanted to be a vet once.
You bet.
Also, you know, he was so fast.
You can't push him
into the vent easily.
That was a real t*rture.
You know, I'm in the mood...
If it weren't this cold,
I would fancy an ice-cream.
- An ice-cream?
- An ice-cream.
A white or a chocolate one?
- The ice-cream?
- Yes, ice-cream. Which would you like?
Pasha, it's cold outside.
Look, the most important
thing I learned from the w*r
is that you shouldn't
put your desires on hold.
Wait for warmer weather
or anything else.
If you want an ice-cream,
you should have some
right here right now.
Well, in that case I want the
yummiest cone in the world.
Be right back.
I don't remember the last
time I had an ice-cream.
As if it was in
the previous life.
It seems we have left
everything in the previous life.
My life is clearly divided
into before and after.
Exactly.
But now as we walk,
I feel peaceful.
I feel very well.
It feels like there
is no w*r whatsoever.
Nadia, are you okay?
Nadia, do you hear
me? Are you okay?
You sure? Look at me.
- Okay, you should go home.
- What about you?
The expl*si*n was
very close from here.
We will be there sooner
than the ambulance.
I have the first
aid kit with me.
- I'm going with you.
- No.
You have nothing with
you anyway. Go home.
Eat something.
Thank you...
Nadia, don't get the blues.
- What's wrong with you?
- Pasha!
Wait, I'm all dirty.
Where have you been?
There was a heavily injured guy.
I had to take him
to the hospital.
So, the phone...
Wow!
I think I get it now...
What?
That I don't want
to postpone my life.
I see.
You were not wasting time.
Petrovych!
Hello, Petrovych.
Aren't you supposed to be in
Germany with your wife and daughter?
Well, I'm back.
Let's get to work?
Haven't you resigned?
Why would I? I had two weeks
of my lawful vacation time.
Did you have to come back?
- You're 60 already.
- Well, I'm needed here.
What would I do there? Stay in
an apartment with five women?
That's a flower garden.
Right. No, it's more
peaceful there of course,
and my family is there,
but I didn't feel alive.
Something was off,
do you get me?
Not really,
but I'm so glad you're back.
Same here. Are we going?
Okay.
The sausages are yummy there.
I nearly ate my fingers, too.
They are small, three
in each sandwich.
- The Bavarian sausages?
- Of course.
I'm telling you, the German
cuisine is just what I need.
Pork knuckle,
sausages, and beer.
Right. Is your liver as
happy as you are, Petrovych?
We only live once, Olenka!
Exactly, we only live once.
- Are there many Ukrainians there?
- A lot.
I was happy to see
people carrying
Ukrainian flags to the meetings.
The locals did the same,
not only our people.
Andriychenko, the
chief wants to see you.
Did you call me?
The sl*t is here.
What?
You've found a new boyfriend
in less than a month.
Excuse me, what do you
have to do with this?
Andriychenko,
I don't approve of personal
relationships between colleagues
as they get in the
way of the work.
Nothing is getting in
the way of my work.
- Except for the confused mind.
- You have no right to treat me like this.
The fact that Roma is
your nephew does not...
Listen, I'm going to treat
you whatever way I decide,
and if you are such a
smartass, you are fired.
Are you serious?
Absolutely.
Go. I'll finish with you later.
I thought you didn't smoke.
I don't.
Is everything so bad?
Mariupol is nearly surrounded.
And Andriy is saying only that his
unit has destroyed three enemy tanks.
And he let it slip accidentally
that he has been injured.
God, that's terrible!
It's worse than terrible.
They are running
out of everything,
medications, food, and a*mo.
Most importantly, water.
The only thing
remaining is hope.
But hope for what?
How can they be rescued?
I believe that
everything will be fine.
Hold on, please. That's
the most important thing.
What did the head want?
Nothing.
Really? She must have noticed
there's something between you.
Girls, come back. Vira Ivanivna
is gathering a meeting.
So, she's going to
let everybody know.
Come on.
Colleagues, I need a
minute of your attention.
Let me introduce Roman Mykolaiovych
from the Oblast Administration.
Please listen to him.
In brief, the situation
is as follows.
The oblast administration wants
to send a relief consignment
to occupied Vovchansk.
May I? I am Dr. Seleznyov.
Excuse me, what does the ambulance
service have to do with this?
The only chance that the
consignment will reach the city
is if it will be taken
by an ambulance car.
Maybe we will be able to get the
wounded civilians out of there.
What do you mean, "maybe"?
Are you saying that the relief consignment
has not been agreed with the enemy?
Are there volunteers?
Who's going?
I am.
Andriychenko, stop
with your heroism.
It's definitely not for
women. They need men.
Actually, it will be
better if a woman goes.
The chances are higher.
I'm going with Nadia.
We don't need a
driver. I'll drive.
Okay.
My sweetie, my little one.
Do you miss her?
You miss your owner.
I see, my little one.
She's been gone
for a month, right?
See? Families get divided.
These devils have brought
so much pain, so much grief.
Eat, my little one.
Yes, Nadia, honey.
What?
Why you?
Yes, I agreed to do this.
There is an agreement that
they will let us through.
Mom, mom! Hello,
can you hear me?
Mom!
Mom!
We're approaching
the checkpoint.
This is the entry to
the occupied territory.
Hello.
Who are you? Where
are you heading to?
We are medics.
We're taking a relief
consignment to Vovchansk.
There is an agreement.
Get out of the car.
Open the trunk, now.
We have nothing but
food and medicine.
I don't understand this Ukrainian
language you're speaking.
Food, medicine.
May I proceed?
Thank you.
Hey, stop!
Leave the car and
the consignment here.
You're walking back home.
Guys, what are you doing?
There are wounded children,
they won't survive
without us, come on.
Why are you so stubborn?
- Hey, what are you doing?
- Open the car!
Pasha! Stop it! No!
Shut up!
Pasha! What are you doing?!
Got what you had coming to you?
He's staying with
us, you can go.
I'm not going
anywhere without him!
- Stop it!
- Calm down.
- Let me go!
- Calm down!
Shut your mouth!
- Come here! Over here!
- Go!
Go!
Nadia.
Pasha.
Pasha, how are you?
I'm okay.
No headache? No nausea?
I don't think so.
Listen, Nadia,
don't worry, okay?
Yes.
Don't worry. They won't
do anything to us.
We're not military,
we're medics.
Yes.
Everything will be okay.
Halia, meet the box
with tourniquets.
Roman Mykolaiovych,
good evening.
Hello. Olena, Dmytro, come in.
- We have come for a second.
- Close the door, it's cold.
Did something happen?
There's something I
want to tell you...
Don't expect they
will return your car.
Nadia was taken prisoner.
Yeah...
I knew it.
I felt it.
- Where are you going? Aunt Katia!
- I just...
A moment...
Wait, there was an agreement.
There was no agreement.
One our bigwig decided
to prove herself.
For some reason, she
was sure the occupants
would let the ambulance through.
I will guide you.
Hush, hush...
It's nightmare.
- Roman Mykolaiovych, it's nightmare!
- This is w*r. May it be damned.
Aunt Katia, please.
There's nothing you can do.
There's nothing I or
anyone else can do.
Please hold on.
We need to believe that
they will be exchanged.
When?
I don't know.
Stay here for a night.
It will be easier for me.
Okay.
- You hear?
- Who is here?
A Ukie boy and a Ukie girl.
Guys, what are you doing?
- She's pretty.
- What are you doing?
You're going with us.
- Let her go.
- Come here.
- Get your hands off her!
- Let me go!
Stop. I said, stop!
Stop!
- Pasha!
- Come here!
Let me go!
What a sporty girl!
Didn't have one so far!
I'll sh**t you, b*tch.
Get out of here! Now!
You're lucky I've come here.
What do you need?
I don't understand Ukrainian.
What do you need from us?
Me? Nothing.
I'm a military man.
I fulfill orders.
Will you sh**t us if they
order you to sh**t us?
I don't understand.
Will you sh**t us if they
order you to sh**t us?
If they order...
I will.
- We are medics.
- Enough questions!
How are you? How are you, Nadia?
Hush.
It's okay.
You should eat something.
I don't want to eat. I can't.
I need to go to work.
Okay, then I'll
go wake Dmytro up.
No, don't wake him up.
Let him sleep.
Thank you. He went to bed late,
- it took him a while to fall asleep.
- Same here. Let him have enough sleep.
Let's hope he dreams about
the world without the w*r.
Look, stay at my place
for a while. Okay?
Okay.
- Stand up!
- Guys...
- Get out of here now.
- It's okay, don't touch her.
Get out, I said!
- I'm not going anywhere without him.
- You are.
Call your commander.
You're going to him. Go.
- Pasha!
- Go!
- Pasha!
- Don't touch her!
Stop! I said, stop!
Stop!
I hate Ukrainians.
He has a b*llet wound.
Hands!
Work.
If he dies, we'll sh**t you.
Listen, I'm only a paramedic.
Speak Russian!
- I'm not a surgeon!
- Where are we supposed to get a surgeon?
Okay, stop talking. Get to work.
I said, get to work.
Do you have a first aid kit?
I need a first aid
kit, some alcohol,
a bowl or a plate, anything.
Pour.
- Hold him tight.
- What?
Hold him tight. Very tight.
Turn. Pour.
Pour more.
Hush, hush.
Hush, hush.
Hush. Hold him, hold him.
The b*llet didn't go through.
It's a lodged b*llet.
What?
The b*llet is inside.
I need to get it out.
Then get it out.
I need a knife and a lighter.
A lighter.
Here's a knife.
This one.
Hang on.
Now hold him really tight.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Hold on, hold on.
Hang on...
It's over, it's over!
Here is the b*llet.
Now the second one. Hold on.
Commander...
What did you do?
That's it.
- No!
- No...
He's alive.
Hey, commander!
Everything's okay.
I need to stitch up the wound.
Hold him.
Tight.
She's going to stitch you...
- Enjoy your meal!
- Thank you.
- It's me. How are you?
- And you?
I'm okay.
- What did they do to you? What happened?
- Everything's okay.
- Nadia...
- I did my first surgery.
- What surgery?
- I performed a surgery on their commander.
I was freaking out.
I'm fine.
- Eat something. I've brought food.
- To hell with the food.
I'm so glad you're okay.
Pasha!
Dmytro, have you put your
shoes on? Come on, quickly.
Come on, honey.
Hello.
Good morning.
I've made breakfast for
you. It's on the stove.
Thank you. Are you in a hurry?
Yes, we're rushing home and
then to the railway station.
What's happened?
Andriy was rescued on a
helicopter from Mariupol.
I'm so happy!
The injury is worse
than he said before.
But most importantly,
he's alive.
That's wonderful.
Where's he now?
In a hospital in Dnipro.
- We are now heading there. Scarf...
- Do you need any help?
No, no. We're ready
to go. Come on, honey.
Bless you.
Come on, quickly,
honey. Say goodbye.
- Goodbye.
- Goodbye.
No news from Nadia?
Nothing yet.
Okay, I'll call you.
- Hold on.
- Yes. Bye now.
Honey, let's go.
Call me...
What?
Nothing.
It's just that you're
very beautiful.
- Are you serious?
- Yes.
- I haven't washed my head for two days.
- So what?
It's probably not the
most appropriate moment,
but there might not be
a better one. Right?
Pasha, what are you doing?
Nadiya Andriychenko,
will you marry me?
Are you serious?
Yes.
I'm serious.
- Will you?
- Yes.
- I can't hear you.
- Yes.
- Get out.
- Go.
- Please, don't touch him.
- Everything will be okay!
No! Let him go! Please! Hey!
Hey, you are getting
out too, get up.
Come on, go.
It's okay, don't worry.
They can't k*ll us, right?
We are not military people.
Shut up, both of you!
Get out.
Come on,
get out.
Go.
Go.
- Stop.
- On your knees.
Pasha, what is this?
Will they sh**t us?
No, they're trying to scare us,
okay? They are trying to scare us.
I don't want to die.
I don't want to die.
Shut up, both of you.
Let's go.
I see the POWs. I'm
ready for exchange.
- The sn*per is ready.
- Understood.
Unpack.
Get up, come on! Go!
Get out of here!
Get in the car quickly.
Maryna Yuriivna, you took a direct
part in the liberation of the hostages.
Tell us about the
negotiation process.
It happened thanks to the efforts
of the oblast administration.
I will not hide it, thanks
to my efforts as well.
I can't describe how worried
we all were for them.
But we never lost hope.
Wonderful. Come on, come on.
Film it.
Welcome. We welcome you from
the bottom of our hearts.
Are you tired?
You are tired.
Hello, Nadiya.
You were liberated
from captivity.
Tell us, how do you feel?
I'm fine.
Wonderful.
We are very happy that
we saved you so soon.
Do you know the most
interesting part?
This is the bigwig
who gave an order
to send an ambulance
to Vovchansk
without any prior
agreements with the enemy.
I'm not surprised. At all.
But at the moment we
need to rest, I'm sorry.
Nadiya, wait!
- Mom!
- Nadia.
- How are you?
- Mom, I'm fine.
- Are you in pain?
- I'm not in pain.
Mom, I'm getting married.
Wow. Getting married during
the w*r. This is wonderful.
- Pasha.
- Do you have a date already?
We're tired. Can
you give us a break?
- Let's go home, children. Home.
- Congratulations.
Roman Mykolaiovych, some cognac?
I won't say no.
Nadia!
Nadia!
- God, sweetheart, what are you doing here?
- Where are we supposed to be?
I didn't expect you
to come back to work so soon.
It's much better here. It's
easier to distract yourself.
I didn't expect to
see you here either.
I saw the news.
How could I miss your wedding?
They said the truth
about the wedding?
Yes.
I'm so happy.
- Andriychenko!
- Yes.
- The chief is calling you.
- I'm coming.
Where's Nadia?
Don't worry, your bride hasn't
run away. She's with the chief.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Do you want to finish what
you started, Vira Ivanivna?
No, I've changed my mind.
I've seen the news story and
have thought everything through.
Glad to hear it.
I can help you with the
organization of the wedding.
Thank you. We wanted to
register our marriage quietly.
It's impossible to
do it quietly now.
The journalists will want to
film your marriage registration.
But don't worry. I
will handle everything.
We need to invite the
entire top management.
This time they
should be on camera.
The entire top management?
Yes. So you and Pavlo
should organize the table.
Buy three bottles of cognac.
The brand is up to you,
but it shouldn't be cheap.
3,000 for one bottle.
About five bottles of Champaigne
that cost 1,000 per bottle.
- You'd better write everything down.
- Isn't that too much?
Why did you mention your
wedding to a state official?
Now she wants to make a
PR campaign based on it.
I wasn't even
thinking about her.
- Vira Ivanivna, I don't...
- So, it is what it is.
And I am a small person
who fulfills the orders.
I was given an order,
so I'm fulfilling it.
I've heard it somewhere already.
Nadia, are you here? I've
been looking for you.
Pasha, let's postpone our marriage
registration, if you don't mind.
Why so?
We will have to pay for
the top management's meal
out of our own pockets,
they will eat,
but we won't even have any
memories left. I don't want that.
I imagine the conversation with
the head didn't go very well.
We should better spend this money
on a vacation after the victory.
Maybe not go to Portugal,
but to the seaside.
I already imagine it.
- What do you say?
- Okay.
Wonderful.
- You know, I'm glad.
- Why?
Previously you were giving
hope to everyone but yourself.
You weren't dreaming
or planning the future,
and now you yourself have hope.
- Because you can't live without hope.
- Yes.
- Nadia, let's go. We have a new emergency.
- Okay.
- Be careful, okay?
- Okay.
Bye.
