Transcript
00:01:00For many years, under their great old tribal leader, Shamil, the mountain people of the
00:01:26Caucasus had stubbornly resisted Russian rule. In 1850, matters reached a climax when the
00:01:33young warrior Haji Murad, a loyal follower of Shamil, took active leadership and gave
00:01:40battle to the oppressors. By his daring and cunning generalship in the field, Haji became
00:01:46known as the White Warrior. Nicholas I, czar of all the Russians, personally ordered stern
00:01:53countermeasures.
00:02:23If you please, czar Nicholas, these are the tactics we plan to follow.
00:02:52Well, now if your majesty will put two more regiments at our disposal, we will finally
00:02:57be in a situation where we can proceed to organize a mass attack. Our strategy in this
00:03:04area...
00:03:05No strategy! These tactics attack! And now you want two regiments! Two regiments! You
00:03:11speak of them as if it were a game of some kind. You're like so many children who amuse
00:03:14themselves at playing soldier. If Vorontsov is an idiot, you're not one bit better than
00:03:19he is. Your plans are certainly equally disastrous. A few mountaineers, riff-raff, are able to
00:03:24keep an entire army stalemated. Why, it's incredible! It's you who gather the medals,
00:03:28but it's I who pay for them. They cost me millions of rubles, these fine decorations.
00:03:32This one cost seven million rubles, and this one cost another ten million rubles. I'm tired
00:03:41of it. From this moment on, I shall act alone. Everything that concerns this campaign will
00:03:50be under my direct supervision. Understand? And I give you my guarantee that this war
00:03:58will end quickly. Now what do you want?
00:04:01Forgive me, your majesty. Princess Maria has arrived.
00:04:07Now take back these trinkets of yours, for whatever they're worth. And now get out!
00:04:20Ah, yes, the princess. I'm coming at once. Go ahead of me.
00:04:38Your majesty. How do you do, Maria?
00:04:48You always wear an enchanting perfume.
00:04:52That is, it's French, isn't it? It's really a terrible pity that you happen to be my goddaughter.
00:05:00You inspire me with feelings of quite a different kind. Please sit down.
00:05:08I have something to tell you, Maria.
00:05:15It's something that concerns your husband. Has anything happened to him?
00:05:21He is an idiot, Maria. For a moment I thought perhaps it was something serious.
00:05:27Oh, well, it's true, your majesty. Sergei is certainly far from brilliant, but...
00:05:35I'm delighted to know that you agree with me, Maria.
00:05:43In that case, you won't be surprised when I tell you of my decision.
00:05:47And I think that you too will be convinced that I could make no other choice.
00:05:54It's the order which will relieve him of his command.
00:05:58You see, Maria, your husband has many enemies.
00:06:01And up to now he has conducted the campaign in a way that is hardly satisfactory.
00:06:06He has made no progress at all in the war against the rebels.
00:06:09And he doesn't know how to do anything except ask for soldiers and money. Always soldiers and money.
00:06:16But your husband has one saving grace that renders him very dear to my heart.
00:06:23And that is his perfectly enchanting wife.
00:06:28Your majesty is too kind.
00:06:31I could easily be a great deal more so, Maria.
00:06:36I don't think your majesty could possibly be more kind. A father could surely not be more so.
00:06:50You see, I really should submit your husband to an inquiry.
00:06:55Instead, I'm going to give him the opportunity to reestablish himself.
00:06:59Would you be willing to leave St. Petersburg tomorrow morning in order to join him at the front?
00:07:06If your majesty wishes it.
00:07:09Very well.
00:07:11Now listen, Maria.
00:07:14You are to give him this.
00:07:19It is my personally written authorization to negotiate with the enemy.
00:07:23It should not be difficult.
00:07:25I'm sure those rebels are as weary as I am of this war that has been dragging on all these years.
00:07:30And they're bound to come to terms.
00:07:32King Shamil is old.
00:07:33The Caucasian tribes have elected new chiefs.
00:07:36Young and ambitious men who will gladly ally themselves with us if we offer them position and honors.
00:07:42Those are things which exert an enormous attraction upon the people who live among those desolate mountains.
00:07:47And which cost absolutely nothing.
00:07:50All we have to do is to find one.
00:07:52All the rest will follow him.
00:07:54Have you happened to hear of Haji Murad?
00:07:56Unfortunately, he has given us more trouble than I care to think about in these last three years.
00:08:01He is the youngest of the Caucasian tribal chiefs.
00:08:04And his people consider him an invincible hero.
00:08:06If we could negotiate with him, we could end the war.
00:08:09I'm certain that Sergei will do his very best, your majesty.
00:08:13Yes.
00:08:14But I expect a good deal more than his best.
00:08:17That's the reason...
00:08:19I'm sending you out there.
00:08:21As you see, Maria, I have great faith in your ability to accomplish what I wish.
00:08:25And I assure you, I will try to be worthy of it, your majesty.
00:08:31And after it is all over, my dear,
00:08:35I will anxiously await your triumphal return to St. Petersburg.
00:08:50Ji-ha! Ji-ha!
00:08:55Aren't you worried, Princess Maria?
00:08:58Why on earth should I be?
00:09:00Aren't you afraid of the rebels?
00:09:02You forget, Louise, that we have an escort of Ulans.
00:09:05I don't believe there's anything that would be able to stop Haji Murad.
00:09:11The white warrior?
00:09:13You know his nickname, too?
00:09:16His fame has spread all the way to court.
00:09:19It seems that he is truly an extraordinary man.
00:09:22As a matter of fact, I wouldn't mind at all meeting him face to face.
00:09:26Gracious heaven protect us.
00:09:46Haji Murad!
00:09:50Haji Murad!
00:10:02The rebels! The rebels!
00:10:04Gracious heaven protect us! Gracious heaven protect us!
00:10:06Lord help us!
00:10:11The rebels!
00:10:12Ah, look what we have here.
00:10:41Now, step down, ladies.
00:10:49Mind if I help myself?
00:10:50What are you doing?
00:10:51Give me that.
00:10:52I'm sorry, my lady, this is not what we want.
00:11:07I don't understand.
00:11:08You don't want to rob us?
00:11:10Our baggage is up there.
00:11:11Take it at once and let us go.
00:11:13You may keep your luggage.
00:11:14We wouldn't have disturbed you if it hadn't been for your escort.
00:11:17It aroused our suspicions.
00:11:20We're not robbers.
00:11:26I'm sorry about him, too.
00:11:28But your people and my people are at war.
00:11:32War?
00:11:33You are rebels against the Tsar.
00:11:35I'd like to know how you dare to place yourselves upon the same level as the Russian soldiers.
00:11:41You're absolutely right.
00:11:42We're not up on the same level.
00:11:45We only kill soldiers.
00:11:46They kill women and children.
00:11:48There's a great difference.
00:11:50Let's go, men.
00:12:11As you see, the hero has come back to us again.
00:12:24You might say he's a very lucky man, as nothing is impossible for him.
00:12:28The people are all devoted to him.
00:12:31That is, until Allah grows tired of showering favors upon him.
00:12:35I bid you welcome, Haji Murad.
00:12:38We're all happy to have you among us once more, safe and sound.
00:12:41You were the only chieftain who was still missing from our assembly.
00:12:44I've been lucky, King Shamil.
00:12:45We've had several skirmishes with the Russians, and we've taken much booty.
00:12:50I brought you a gift.
00:12:53This Russian saber.
00:13:00As you see, the others are already here.
00:13:02Osman Yamouiti and his riders, and Ibrahim Bey, sultan of the Riyadh with his brave fighting
00:13:06men.
00:13:08And here's Ahmed Khan with his tribes.
00:13:11Come, the other chiefs are waiting for us.
00:13:21The Tarak River flows through here.
00:13:24If we could only use it for navigation, it would be the best route by which to reach
00:13:28the valley.
00:13:30But now this is impossible.
00:13:32The fort of Tabarazan has blockaded the river with its heavy artillery.
00:13:36It is the key to the entire valley.
00:13:39If we could manage to silence it, the mouths of those cannon would no longer interfere
00:13:42with our freedom of movement.
00:13:43It is at this point that we must concentrate our forces.
00:13:46With a long and unrelenting siege, Tabarazan will finally have to capitulate.
00:13:52Oh, great Shamil, it would be sheer madness to try to overcome the resistance of that
00:13:58fortress.
00:13:59We have already lost a great many men in our unsuccessful attempts to assault it.
00:14:03Yes, if Tabarazan were ours, the Black Mountains would then be impregnable.
00:14:09We must make another attempt.
00:14:11That fortress is nothing but a trap.
00:14:13No one has the right to risk the lives of our fighting men in a campaign that is so
00:14:16utterly futile.
00:14:17You may win further glory from it, Haji Murad, but how many lives is it going to cost us?
00:14:21How dare you?
00:14:22What do you mean by insulting him?
00:14:23Why are you hostile to Haji Murad?
00:14:26Haji Murad has spoken well.
00:14:28He has always risked his own life ten times over before he would expose a single one of
00:14:32his soldiers to unnecessary danger.
00:14:35I believe he has a plan in mind.
00:14:37I do.
00:14:39But I won't discuss it.
00:14:40I'll act.
00:14:41Alone, as usual.
00:14:43If we give up the attack on Tabarazan, we must also give up the Black Mountains.
00:14:47The Russians will occupy them, and before long, every pass will be defended by a Russian
00:14:50fort.
00:14:51King Shamil, let me remind you of something.
00:14:56He who holds the Black Mountains is the master of the Caucasus.
00:15:01That is why I will risk the lives of my men, and my own, to take that fort.
00:15:06Forgive me, noble Haji Murad.
00:15:09Your courage and your unbounded generosity transform all our apprehensions into admiration
00:15:16for your boldness and your spirit of self-sacrifice.
00:15:20Keep your plan a secret, by all means.
00:15:22I am certain that you will triumph.
00:15:24And they permit me to embrace you in the name of all of us.
00:15:33The headquarters of the Russians at Tiflis were maintained elegantly in the midst of
00:15:37the barbaric country they were trying to pacify.
00:15:41Here Prince Sergei, Maria's husband, was in command.
00:15:45Their long journey with the Tsar's new instructions had come to an end.
00:15:52Sit down!
00:15:56Sit down!
00:16:00Get down!
00:16:04The carriage has just driven into the park.
00:16:13Oh, very well.
00:16:14Come along.
00:16:15Let's go.
00:16:28My dearest, but this is madness.
00:16:30Such a long journey.
00:16:33You must be terribly tired.
00:16:35Well, I'm very flattered at your anxiety to be here at my side.
00:16:38Oh, Your Excellency, it was such a thrilling journey.
00:16:42Please look after my baggage, Louise.
00:16:44I had a very good reason, Sergei.
00:16:47What reason?
00:16:52The Tsar.
00:17:10The Tsar.
00:17:40Haji Mourad!
00:17:56Haji Mourad!
00:17:59Oh, I am so glad to see you.
00:18:02We'd heard that you'd returned.
00:18:04Haslem Bey will be happy to greet you.
00:18:06Haslem Bey!
00:18:09Haslem Bey!
00:18:10Haji Mourad is here to see you.
00:18:19Haji Mourad!
00:18:21My good friend.
00:18:23The true glory of our people.
00:18:25We did not expect you to be here so soon.
00:18:27We had planned to give a grand reception for you.
00:18:30But it was for tomorrow.
00:18:31I'll be far away by tomorrow, and I need your help.
00:18:34Ah.
00:18:38Go on now.
00:18:39Go to the other room.
00:18:53You need more soldiers?
00:18:54You guessed it.
00:18:56That shouldn't be too difficult.
00:18:58But when is it ever going to end?
00:19:00War, war, and more war.
00:19:03We long for peace.
00:19:05And you, you should stop fighting.
00:19:07Stay at home and think about getting married.
00:19:09Your son is at an age when he needs a mother.
00:19:11How is Yusuf?
00:19:12He's fine.
00:19:14He's in the best of health.
00:19:16You need not worry about him.
00:19:18With my four wives, I've had no less than 19 children.
00:19:21But I've never seen such a live one as that boy is.
00:19:25Allah bless him.
00:19:26Come in, everybody.
00:19:28Don't you know we have a guest in the house?
00:19:30Father!
00:19:34I'm so glad you're here.
00:19:35I was sure you'd come to see me this evening.
00:19:37I even told the others you would, but they wouldn't believe me.
00:19:40You see?
00:19:41What did I tell you?
00:19:42He came this evening, just as I said he would.
00:19:44Hey, boys, girls.
00:19:54How many men have you killed today?
00:19:56With this sword, I'm not able to kill anybody.
00:19:59How can I with an old piece of wood?
00:20:01You can't do anything.
00:20:02I will give you a real sword tomorrow,
00:20:04and I will give you permission to kill a couple of my wives.
00:20:07Then I'll be able to marry two others, and we'll be very happy together.
00:20:11Father, please take me with you.
00:20:14You're too little.
00:20:15But when I grow up, then can I go with you to kill the Russians?
00:20:18By the time you're big enough, I think the war will be over.
00:20:21At least I hope so.
00:20:23No, no, no.
00:20:24It can't be.
00:20:25Because I know that if I wanted to, I could be a good soldier even now.
00:20:31Only she won't let me do it.
00:20:35Yusuf, it's time to go to bed.
00:20:39Come along, do as I say.
00:20:41What did I tell you?
00:20:42She treats me as though I were still a baby.
00:20:46Sultanet is a mother to perfection.
00:20:48She looks after your little boy.
00:20:50And if you would marry her and take her off my shoulders,
00:20:53she would give you more children and mother them also.
00:20:56She is strong and a good housekeeper.
00:20:58She's truly excellent.
00:20:59She's not like the good fellow things I had the misfortune to marry.
00:21:20Are you offended by what your father said?
00:21:22No.
00:21:23I'm used to his ways.
00:21:25For him, women are worth less than beasts.
00:21:27You're so different from all the other men.
00:21:29All other men?
00:21:31Including me?
00:21:32You know I love you.
00:21:34Must I repeat it?
00:21:35Oh, you love me for five minutes when you come to see my father and meet me by chance.
00:21:39Then you go away again for months.
00:21:41And you forget all about me.
00:21:43I'm tired of waiting for you and thinking of you while you are far away.
00:21:48You won't wait much longer.
00:21:50I promise.
00:21:51You keep me quiet with promises so I won't annoy you.
00:21:54You don't care a thing about my feelings.
00:21:57Are you convinced of that?
00:22:09Why don't you take me away with you?
00:22:12My younger sister got married the other day.
00:22:14The man who was in love with her carried her off instead of borrowing her as almost everybody does.
00:22:18And she's happy and satisfied.
00:22:21I couldn't stand to be traded for cattle.
00:22:23And someone has unfortunately already made an offer to my father for me.
00:22:27Ahmed Khan?
00:22:29Yes.
00:22:30My father knows I don't love him.
00:22:32But he's tempted by his good offer.
00:22:34That's another reason why I'm angry with you for making me wait so long.
00:22:38I'd rather be an old maid all my life than marry that man.
00:22:42I'll carry you off too, Sultana.
00:22:44According to our customs.
00:22:46I only wish it were true.
00:22:48But you're going away again so soon.
00:22:50But I'll come back.
00:22:51I'll marry you and carry you away with me.
00:22:54Forever.
00:23:21Your beauty outshines the splendor of the rising sun.
00:23:40If I frightened you, please forgive me.
00:23:42What?
00:23:43You're blushing?
00:23:44That's very flattering.
00:23:46May I understand perhaps that my presence has finally caused your little heart to beat faster?
00:23:51No.
00:23:52Let me go into the house.
00:23:54I am a powerful tribal chieftain.
00:23:56But in front of you, I become as awkward as a schoolboy.
00:23:58And you amuse yourself by torturing me.
00:24:00I must go, Ahmed.
00:24:03I'm thirsty.
00:24:05Give me a drink.
00:24:06You won't deny me a little water from your pitcher.
00:24:09No!
00:24:10No!
00:24:11No!
00:24:12You only think of your mighty hero, don't you?
00:24:15I've known about it for a good while.
00:24:19But you'll forget him very soon.
00:24:21You can take my guarantee for it.
00:24:24What do you mean by that?
00:24:26You'll wait for him a long time.
00:24:45Following the bold plan he had undertaken in his meeting with Shamil,
00:24:56the white warrior was determined to liberate the valley of the river Terek,
00:25:00on which the rebel tribesmen depended for freedom of movement and communications in this mountainous region.
00:25:06It was imperative that he destroy the seemingly impregnable Russian fortress of Tabarasan.
00:25:14Why are they waiting so long to give the signal?
00:25:17I'm worried.
00:25:18The nitroglycerin could explode in their hands.
00:25:40There's the signal!
00:25:43The signal!
00:25:57Charge!
00:25:59To the attack!
00:26:01Charge!
00:26:03To the attack!
00:26:14Charge!
00:26:26They're insane to defy our artillery.
00:26:28We'll give them the reception they deserve.
00:26:30They're really anxious to be slaughtered.
00:26:43Let's go.
00:27:00Let them approach even closer.
00:27:02Yes, sir, Captain.
00:27:07Prepare to open fire.
00:27:14Fire!
00:27:20Fire!
00:27:24Fire!
00:27:43Fire!
00:28:13Fire!
00:28:43Fire!
00:29:13Fire!
00:29:19Down, you dogs!
00:29:21On your knees, all of you!
00:29:25This is a joyful day.
00:29:27Forget your hatred.
00:29:29I promised him their lives would be spared.
00:29:31Get up!
00:29:33Go and tell your father that Haji Murad will pay a visit to his house this evening.
00:29:36And that he's bringing with him three magnificent lambs for the banquet.
00:29:40If he only knew how long I've waited for this moment.
00:29:43It seems like a dream.

00:33:48You'll be splendid!
00:33:50How lovely you are, Sultana!
00:33:52I wish someone like Haji Murad would come and carry me.
00:33:56I can't wait to see you dressed in your beautiful gown.
00:34:01Ah, Sultana, my lovely daughter.
00:34:03Well, now you won't be able to say that I treat you badly, my beloved.
00:34:08If you knew how much this magnificent gown alone cost me,
00:34:11you'd never again have the courage to call me stingy.
00:34:14However, it would not be right to say that giving my daughter in marriage to Haji Murad
00:34:17is not to be considered an honor to my house.
00:34:19This evening, as you all know,
00:34:21there will be a feast in celebration of his victory.
00:34:26Now what do you want?
00:34:28Haji Murad's servant has just arrived with three lambs for the banquet.
00:34:31Rod, hurry. Get into the kitchen.
00:34:33The dinner is not yet ready and the table has not even been set.
00:34:36Do you wish shame to come upon my house as it will if the guests arrive and find nothing ready?
00:34:45Look at yourself.
00:34:55Haji Murad!
00:35:26Ready to deal with the Russian prisoners.
00:35:33Here comes Haji Murad!
00:35:35Get him! Throw him down, Haji Murad! Get him!
00:35:40Throw him down, Haji Murad!
00:35:42After him, Haji Murad!
00:35:56Get him to the ground, Haji Murad!
00:35:59Throw him! Throw him, Haji Murad!
00:36:04Good!
00:36:05Down him!
00:36:11Hey! Throw him down, Haji!
00:36:18Get him down, Haji Murad!
00:36:26Oh, Haji Murad!
00:36:37What are they going to do to us, Colonel?
00:36:39Don't worry. We have the word of Haji Murad that our lives will be spared.
00:36:43Heavenly Father, protect us.
00:37:04Get moving! Whip out the horses!
00:37:13Let's go!
00:37:19You were splendid, Haji Murad.
00:37:22Justice has been done.
00:37:28Here are those murdering dogs, Haji Murad. Justice has been carried out.
00:37:34Who's responsible for this? Who gave the order?
00:37:36It was the will of the people.
00:37:38So you gave the order.
00:37:39What does it matter who gave the order?
00:37:41It looks very much like you have forgotten the Russians are our enemies.
00:37:43That they are the murderers of our wives and children.
00:37:45Because of you, I'm a chieftain without honor.
00:37:47You have thrown murder upon our victory.
00:37:51Have you two lost your minds?
00:37:53I demand justice, Shamil. I will not go back on my word.
00:37:56Since when have you become so tender-hearted with the Russians?
00:38:00Perhaps since they have begun to sell you these so-called victories at a good price.
00:38:03I'm waiting for your word, Shamil.
00:38:05If you don't respect your allies, there's no justice or honor in you.
00:38:08Is my loyalty to be repaid with the slaughter of my prisoners?
00:38:11Of your prisoners, you say?
00:38:13Who is king here? You or the Shamil?
00:38:16You're getting old, King Shamil.
00:38:18Your judgment is weakening if you're willing to put up with a scoundrel like him.
00:38:21Do you dare to insult me in this manner before my people?
00:38:24I've always loved you as my own son.
00:38:26You have forgotten the respect that you owe me.
00:38:28I must have a sign of repentance and of submission from you.
00:38:31Only then will I be to you once again a father and a loyal friend.
00:38:39There is no justice here.
00:38:42Whoever is still faithful among you, come with me.
00:39:09Haji Murad
00:39:22Hazan Bey, Haji Murad is here.
00:39:24Hush! Calm down, woman.
00:39:26Be quiet, all of you.
00:39:29Haji Murad
00:39:35Haji Murad, my dear old friend.
00:39:38What a terrible thing. What a disaster for our unhappy country.
00:39:42Just when we needed to stand together and on the very day of your wedding.
00:39:46And now, naturally, we've had to cancel all preparations.
00:39:50And my poor Sultanate, she's terribly upset.
00:39:53If you could see her.
00:39:55I've come to get Sultanate, as I promised.
00:39:57Do you mean to say that despite everything,
00:39:59you still want to marry her and take her with you?
00:40:02Oh!
00:40:27Haji Murad
00:40:30Haji Murad
00:40:33Haji Murad
00:40:36Haji Murad
00:40:39Haji Murad
00:40:42Haji Murad
00:40:45Haji Murad
00:40:48Haji Murad
00:40:51Haji Murad
00:40:53Haji Murad
00:40:58Are you sad?
00:41:00Not anymore.
00:41:02I've forgotten Shamil, Dakhmet Khan, and everything else.
00:41:06I've never been so happy before.
00:41:10But will you be happy with me?
00:41:12I have no friends.
00:41:14My future is uncertain.
00:41:16I will be your friend, and your future, and everything.
00:41:19Just as you are for me.
00:41:21When you're away, I'm afraid.
00:41:23And the world becomes a horrible place.
00:41:26But when you're with me, my fear disappears.
00:41:29And life is wonderful.
00:41:31Don't ever leave me again.
00:41:33I never will.
00:41:35I promise you.
00:41:37Tomorrow, your father will give us his blessing.
00:41:39And then we'll go to my people.
00:41:41I've never been to your country.
00:41:43I'm sure you'll love it.
00:41:45As much as I do.
00:41:47Having you is enough to make me happy.
00:41:50And little Yusuf.
00:41:52He'll come with us, too.
00:41:54He never knew his mother.
00:41:56She died when he was born.
00:41:58You'll bring him up.
00:42:00I will love him as if he were my own son.
00:42:03During all these years, every time you were far away from me,
00:42:07I looked into his eyes, long and deeply.
00:42:10And it seemed to me that it was you, and not he, that looked back at me.
00:42:14We'll be so happy from now on.
00:42:16We'll never leave each other again.
00:42:46Let's go.
00:43:16What's that noise?
00:43:33Perhaps it's only my horse.
00:43:46Hajji Murad, get up!
00:44:01You're surrounded.
00:44:14Fire! But be careful not to kill him.
00:44:24Follow me!
00:44:35Hold your fire!
00:45:02Hajji Murad!
00:45:08Stand back there! Out of the way!
00:45:11Get back! Clear the way!
00:45:16Stand back!
00:45:17What have they done to him?
00:45:19Stand aside!
00:45:26I warned you about him.
00:45:28You should never have let him go.
00:45:30Once he's joined the Russians, he can take vengeance on us.
00:45:33No, I can't believe it of him.
00:45:36Forgive me for speaking so plainly,
00:45:38but it was your excessive indulgence which has brought him to this.
00:45:41He had become ambitious, and it was his ambition that turned him against us.
00:45:45He is at the Russian headquarters now.
00:45:47And perhaps at this very moment, the Russians possess the plans we had kept so secret.
00:45:51We will have to abandon the Black Mountains.
00:45:53We'll never do that. Never, I tell you.
00:45:57Friendship. Honor. Loyalty.
00:46:02They're all words that have no meaning.
00:46:05As long as I live, I'll never have faith in anyone again.
00:46:09You must have faith only in me.
00:46:12We still have one important advantage over him.
00:46:15His wife and his young son are both in our hands.
00:46:18Hajji Murad must be denounced at once as a traitor to his people.
00:46:21It must be proclaimed in every village
00:46:23that no one may offer him assistance under any circumstances whatsoever
00:46:26without incurring the severest punishment.
00:46:31Give me the authority to arrange for these provisions to be carried out.
00:46:35These things must be done at once. Do you understand?
00:46:38Yes. I know they must be done.
00:46:43I want to see Haslam Bey.
00:46:54In the middle of the village?
00:46:55Yes, it's important.
00:47:05Haslam Bey, elder. Hajji Murad's friend and sister.
00:47:18In the name of heaven, what ever possessed you to come here?
00:47:21Do you want Ahmed Khan to kill us all?
00:47:24Where is Sultanate?
00:47:25How could I possibly know that? Hajji Murad himself carried her away.
00:47:29But you must leave immediately. No one must know you were here.
00:47:32We've had enough trouble. They even sent the soldiers here.
00:47:35And they took Hajji Murad's son away by force.
00:47:37Your son?
00:47:38Yes. But tell me, is it true?
00:47:40They are saying that Hajji Murad has betrayed our cause
00:47:43and has gone over to the Russians.
00:47:45Do you believe that's true?
00:47:47I don't know.
00:47:48What does it matter what I believe?
00:47:50The only thing I'm sure of is if they find you here, we are doomed.
00:47:54You don't have to worry. I'm leaving.
00:48:18Are you feeling any better now?
00:48:20Do you have any more pain?
00:48:23I am your physician. Your doctor.
00:48:28Oh, doesn't he understand Russian?
00:48:30Perfectly, but he refuses to speak.
00:48:32Well...
00:48:52Well, well...
00:48:58I'm glad to make your acquaintance at last, Hajji Murad.
00:49:00Pull yourself up. His Excellency represents the Tsar.
00:49:03No, absolutely not. He mustn't tire himself.
00:49:07He's...
00:49:09wounded.
00:49:20I'm sorry about what has happened, but...
00:49:22you know what they say in love and in war.
00:49:26Let's hope it turns out to be a case of love, huh?
00:49:31How is he?
00:49:32The prisoner will feel stronger in a few days, Your Excellency.
00:49:35Prisoner?
00:49:37I hope you will consider yourself my guest.
00:49:41But what's the matter with him? Doesn't he understand?
00:49:50Now listen to me, Hajji Murad.
00:49:54I made every possible effort to bring you here because...
00:49:57there were several important things I wanted to discuss with you.
00:50:01I have heard that you have withdrawn your people from the war against us.
00:50:06And I know the causes of the difference of opinion between you and Shamil.
00:50:10You seem to be a reasonable man.
00:50:12I want to negotiate the peace with you.
00:50:17Not now.
00:50:20When you are feeling better.
00:50:28Very well.
00:50:31I hope you will be comfortable here...
00:50:36and that you'll discover that you are among friends.
00:50:42After all, we are no longer at war, you and I, are we?
00:50:52I see that you are still a little upset and not inclined to conversation.
00:50:57Well, there's no hurry.
00:51:02I hope you will accept this small gift as a token of my esteem.
00:51:22Among your people, you have the custom of an exchange of gifts between host and guest.
00:51:28I am familiar with your customs, you see.
00:51:54Stop him!
00:52:24Water, quickly!
00:52:53You're nothing but a vile traitor.
00:53:12As soon as I'm out of here, I'll tell what you did.
00:53:14Who would believe the rumor that it was I who turned Hachimurad over to the Russians?
00:53:19Instead, everyone is convinced he is a traitor.
00:53:22A win to join our enemies of his own free will.
00:53:25No one will ever be able to prove the contrary, since the desertion of Adeno.
00:53:30Shamil will believe what I say. He'll believe me, I tell you.
00:53:35The king is very ill and doesn't believe anyone anymore.
00:53:38He has completely lost faith in humanity. He now believes only in me.
00:53:43Perhaps you don't know it yet, but I have become very powerful.
00:53:47More powerful than you could ever imagine.
00:53:50And therefore, you have everything to gain by marrying me.
00:53:55No!
00:53:59No!
00:54:03Leave me alone!
00:54:10You're a stubborn minx.
00:54:12But I like you all the better for it, because I know you're not afraid of anything.
00:54:15I hope our children will resemble you.
00:54:19If you take another step, I'll kill myself.
00:54:25Perhaps you don't realize it, but in the end, you'll come to love me willingly.
00:54:30And then you'll beg me to marry you.
00:54:34He attempted to kill himself, didn't he?
00:54:52He will come to tea with us before the week is over.
00:54:55As docile as a lamb.
00:54:58Let's hope he knows how to play cards.
00:55:00We can always teach him, you know.
00:55:03Come in.
00:55:33You were the Princess Vorontsov.
00:55:55I should have known it.
00:55:58I don't want to amuse myself at your expense.
00:56:03I'm sorry about all this.
00:56:06I wanted to tell you that I'm grateful to you for your behavior during our first meeting.
00:56:12I promise that you will not be mistreated.
00:56:16Your husband told me the same thing.
00:56:18I'm not a prisoner.
00:56:19We are friends.
00:56:20These are the tokens of friendship.
00:56:23We had to protect you against yourself.
00:56:26I would rather be dead than held here.
00:56:28No.
00:56:29You must live.
00:56:33What do you care if I live or die?
00:56:37Your people have need of you.
00:56:39Only you can help them.
00:56:41By making a pact with your husband?
00:56:43And dragging my people in slavery to the Tsar?
00:56:45Is that why he sent you?
00:56:46He didn't send me to you.
00:56:48I would really like to help you.
00:56:50Is this how you help me?
00:56:51You took me prisoner.
00:56:52My people are without a leader.
00:56:54And my son has no one to defend him.
00:56:56You could see him again very soon.
00:56:58Why won't you negotiate?
00:57:00Sooner or later there must be peace.
00:57:02Why not now?
00:57:03The Russians will only crush our country again.
00:57:25Well, what's the matter?
00:57:27There were several men trying to break into the villa.
00:57:29We killed one of them, Your Excellency, and captured another.
00:57:31The rest of them got away.
00:57:33Where is the one you caught?
00:57:34We took him down into the underground cells.
00:57:36He seemed a rather obstinate individual, if I may say so.
00:57:39But our men are taking care of that now.
00:57:41Well, let's go.
00:57:55Come, let me look at you.
00:57:59Who are you?
00:58:00It's no use. He refuses to talk, Your Excellency.
00:58:02He has only told us that his name is Elder.
00:58:04However, we've been informed that he is the right-hand man of Haji Murad.
00:58:10Oh.
00:58:12I see. It's just as I thought.
00:58:17Well.
00:58:20Try to pass the night comfortably, sir.
00:58:23Comfortably, since it is to be your last one.
00:58:27Continue.
00:58:38Forgive me, Your Excellency.
00:58:41Are we to execute him tomorrow?
00:58:43I don't know.
00:58:44Perhaps.
00:58:46It will be useful.
00:58:53Come.
00:59:17Good morning, my dear friend.
00:59:20I hope you slept well.
00:59:22It was a rather upsetting night for all of us.
00:59:27Take a glance over there.
00:59:32One, two.
00:59:33Elder!
00:59:34Platoon, halt!
00:59:35Left flank, turn!
00:59:46Last night we caught him as he was prowling about the garden.
00:59:50Evidently, he wanted to help you to escape.
00:59:53Very generous and praiseworthy.
00:59:57His friendship deserves a better recompense on your part.
01:00:01What do you mean?
01:00:03I mean that because of you, he will be shot in...
01:00:09...exactly three minutes.
01:00:12What do you want me to do?
01:00:16Nothing that is dishonorable.
01:00:19I only want to discuss the conditions of the peace with you.
01:00:26Platoon, attention!
01:00:32In exactly one minute, the captain will be shot.
01:00:35In exactly one minute, the captain will give the order to fire.
01:00:39Aim!
01:00:43But you still have time to save your friend's life.
01:00:47Decide.
01:00:49Time is flying.
01:00:51Very well.
01:00:52Tell your men to untie me.
01:01:06Bad news.
01:01:08Four of our garrisons have been attacked.
01:01:11Several officers and soldiers were killed.
01:01:14It's evident that these rebels are beginning to suspect our weakness.
01:01:19But if you succeed with our plan...
01:01:21With our plan?
01:01:23You mean yours and the Tsar's?
01:01:26A fine plan indeed to try to convince that savage to come to a diplomatic agreement.
01:01:31I've been talking with Haji Murad all day long.
01:01:34Trying to get him to sign a treaty.
01:01:36But he refuses.
01:01:39He continues to discuss and postpone.
01:01:43He's trying to gain time.
01:01:48If I had my way, I'd have his head carried through all the villages as a good example.
01:01:55They would understand that.
01:01:57They understand nothing but terror.
01:01:59They understand nothing but terror.
01:02:02You must insist.
01:02:04His people love him.
01:02:05If you should kill him, they would all turn against us.
01:02:08I'm not so sure of that.
01:02:11Listen to my suggestion.
01:02:12Let's try to convince him again.
01:02:14He will become our friend and his people will too.
01:02:17The Tsar is right.
01:02:19It's the only sensible way.
01:02:21You mustn't kill him.
01:02:22Do you understand?
01:02:23What a brilliant defense, Maria.
01:02:27One would say that you were his lawyer, not...
01:02:29I'm only trying to assist you.
01:02:32Forgive me.
01:02:35For a moment, I was almost becoming jealous.
01:02:39Stupid, isn't it?
01:02:42It's my nerves.
01:02:43Trying to make that madman listen to reason has worn me out.
01:02:50Well, if he doesn't want to sign, we'll have to persuade him by stronger means.
01:02:56What do you mean?
01:02:58There are many ways of making him give in.
01:03:02For example, crushing his fingers one by one.
01:03:09Slowly, while he screams and screams, maddened with pain.
01:03:18Forgive me.
01:03:19I didn't mean to frighten you.
01:03:23You are so tender.
01:03:26Even that savage excites your pity.
01:03:32I envy him.
01:03:35He seems to have upset you.
01:03:39You can't believe such a thing, Sergei.
01:03:43Certainly not.
01:03:46Otherwise, I think I would torture that man to death with a great deal more pleasure.
01:03:56Good night.
01:04:26Haji Murad, you are in terrible danger.
01:04:54I know that.
01:04:55No, you don't understand.
01:04:57You are in my husband's hands.
01:04:58He can do whatever he likes with you.
01:05:00His only reason for not hurting you is the hope that you will sign a treaty.
01:05:03Today, you managed to gain time, but you can't go on this way.
01:05:07I'll never deliver my people into your hands.
01:05:10But the Tsar will allow you to govern your people.
01:05:12He told me so himself.
01:05:14He's made those promises before.
01:05:17He flatters and cajoles because he hopes to subdue us and enslave us forever.
01:05:22But can't you understand?
01:05:24You must give in sooner or later.
01:05:26The Tsar is too powerful.
01:05:28Why don't you do it now and gain an advantage?
01:05:31You could be free and live in peace.
01:05:34Yes, free to forget the murders and slaughter of the Russians.
01:05:40You can't keep on hating them forever.
01:05:43You must have a home and a life one day.
01:05:47Without freedom.
01:05:50But isn't there any way out?
01:05:52Have you made up your mind to be tortured to death?
01:05:56I can't stand it.
01:05:58It's all my fault.
01:06:01If I hadn't come here with the message from the Tsar,
01:06:05they wouldn't have tried to capture you.
01:06:09You would still be free.
01:06:11You mustn't reproach yourself.
01:06:13After all, you are on their side.
01:06:17I'm not on anybody's side.
01:06:19But I know that I'll never have a moment's peace if anything happens to you.
01:06:24Why won't you listen to me?
01:06:26I have a lot of influence in St. Petersburg.
01:06:28You would be received at court like a great king with all arms.
01:06:32And you and I would no longer be enemies.
01:06:35I'm not your enemy.
01:06:37But would you be happy if you had to live in the mountains among a strange people
01:06:41in a world that could never become yours?
01:06:46Certainly not.
01:06:47Certainly not.
01:06:49And I, would I be happy at your court?
01:06:52A savage among the civilized Russians.
01:06:54Is that what you want?
01:06:56I want you to be safe and sound.
01:06:58That is what I want.
01:07:02Why does it matter so much to you?
01:07:04Because...
01:07:06Because I admire you.
01:07:08I believe you are a generous man.
01:07:11Ready to sacrifice everything for what you believe in.
01:07:15And that...
01:07:17is so fine.
01:07:19Poor little boy.
01:07:20He's the son of a traitor.
01:07:35You have dared to defy the authority of the king.
01:07:39You have attempted the abduction of the son of Haji Murad.
01:07:44From the king to whose care he was entrusted.
01:07:48Your death and that of the son of a renegade will serve as an example to all traitors.
01:07:53There's only one traitor amongst us.
01:07:55And you know very well who he is.
01:08:12And now the boy.
01:08:14Yusuf!
01:08:15Yusuf!
01:08:16No!
01:08:17No!
01:08:18No!
01:08:19Come here!
01:08:20Come back here!
01:08:22Pity!
01:08:23Have pity!
01:08:24We can't afford to have pity for traitors.
01:08:27Say this last, I beg you, I will be yours.
01:08:30No, my dear.
01:08:31I want you to accept me freely and willingly.
01:08:34I accept you!
01:08:35I accept you!
01:08:36Swear it!
01:08:37Yes, yes, I swear it!
01:08:39I swear it!
01:08:41King Shamil.
01:08:44My betrothed wife intercedes for the son of the traitor.
01:08:48And I also intercede with her.
01:08:52And perhaps the boy will be more useful to us alive.
01:08:55He will be a valuable hostage.
01:08:59Yes.
01:09:00He is your prisoner.
01:09:03I entrust him to you.
01:09:05The boy's pardon is granted.
01:09:09Yusuf!
01:09:11Yusuf!
01:09:13Oh, my dear.
01:09:34How long will it take to deliver this?
01:09:36In three days it will be in the hands of Haji Murad.
01:09:39You don't believe he's a traitor, do you?
01:09:41Oh, no, no.
01:09:42No one believes he is.
01:09:43But we are all afraid.
01:09:45We are in terror of our lives all the time.
01:09:47Hurry.
01:10:09They think I'm a traitor.
01:10:11You know that's not true.
01:10:12Then you must tell them.
01:10:15You see?
01:10:17These are the people for whom you want to risk your life.
01:10:23These hyenas who have revolted against you,
01:10:25calling you a traitor, are now about to kill your son.
01:10:30While I...
01:10:33offer you glory,
01:10:35freedom,
01:10:36and vengeance.
01:10:39I only have to give the order,
01:10:40and your son will be here within three days.
01:10:43Ahmed Khan will see to it
01:10:44that he is delivered safe and sound into my hands.
01:10:48Ahmed Khan?
01:10:50This is all his work.
01:10:52Not a very clean individual, huh?
01:10:56He has betrayed all of you.
01:10:58He was very useful to me.
01:11:01But I am ready to drop him
01:11:03as soon as he has served my purposes.
01:11:08The people hate him, but they love you.
01:11:11That is why I need you.
01:11:13If I could only get my hands on him.
01:11:15That shouldn't be difficult.
01:11:21You know,
01:11:23I don't want to be a traitor.
01:11:25Difficult?
01:11:29You only have to sign this.
01:11:33Otherwise, your heroism will save neither you nor your son.
01:11:37And Ahmed Khan will receive the crown
01:11:39from the hands of the Tsar himself.
01:11:42Shamil will discover who it is that's betraying him.
01:11:45I don't think so.
01:11:48By now, it's too late.
01:11:51Ahmed Khan has already decided
01:11:53to remove Shamil from our path.
01:11:58There are deadly poisons which work very quickly.
01:12:10Will you sign?
01:12:13I won't sign.
01:12:15I'll never sign it.
01:12:21To our beloved sovereign,
01:12:25Tsar Nicholas I,
01:12:28Emperor of all the Russians,
01:12:31to him who protects us and who is our leader,
01:12:37let us with the greatest reverence
01:12:40raise our glasses
01:12:43to our beloved Tsar Nicholas I.
01:12:51Long live the Tsar!
01:12:53Long live the Tsar!
01:13:15Blasted stubborn savage!
01:13:17Are you going to sign this?
01:13:20No.
01:13:28Your Excellency, the Princess wishes to speak to you most urgently.
01:13:31Where is she?
01:13:32In your Excellency's study.
01:13:50Where is Haji Murad?
01:13:52He's in good hands, my dear.
01:13:56Then it's true.
01:13:58And I didn't want to believe it.
01:14:00You've had him tortured!
01:14:04I'm sorry they told you.
01:14:07I wanted to give you a surprise.
01:14:11Because I knew it would make you so glad.
01:14:14I mean he's going to sign this.
01:14:16A triumph, my dear.
01:14:19A triumph
01:14:21of your superb diplomacy.
01:14:25In a month we'll be back in St. Petersburg.
01:14:28Everyone will admire you.
01:14:32And they will envy me because I have such a clever wife.
01:14:36The Tsar will pay you many compliments, as usual.
01:14:40And you,
01:14:42The Tsar will pay you many compliments, as usual.
01:14:46And I, as usual, will be happy to bathe in your reflected glory.
01:14:51Let him go free.
01:14:55My dear, you are behaving in a very strange manner.
01:14:58I repeat, Sergei.
01:15:01I want you to let him go free.
01:15:03It depends on him.
01:15:05Come now, my dear, control yourself.
01:15:07If you don't set him free, I'll kill you!
01:15:12Then you're in love with him.
01:15:14Yes, I love him, I love him.
01:15:16Well, what do you have to say, that I'm crazy?
01:15:18I certainly will be for all those who are wallowing in vice and hypocrisy like you are.
01:15:23And are unable to comprehend the soul of a man who is ready to die for an ideal.
01:15:27But I do understand him.
01:15:29I understand and admire him.
01:15:30And I know that he will never surrender to a coward like you.
01:15:41Let me go.
01:15:43The devil, get out!
01:15:44But, Your Excellency, Hadji Murad has decided to sign.
01:15:52Bring him here.
01:15:59You see?
01:16:02Your plan was successful after all.
01:16:12So this is your hero.
01:16:16This is the man whom you considered to be so worthy of your respect.
01:16:23But he is no more heroic than some highway robber in a story for children.
01:16:30And you fell in love with him.
01:16:33My poor Maria.
01:16:35Come now.
01:16:38Let's forget all that has happened.
01:16:42You have always been a bit romantic, my dear.
01:16:45And the air of this country has gone to your head a bit.
01:16:52It will pass off as soon as we get back to St. Petersburg.
01:16:57No.
01:17:00Stay here.
01:17:02My victory is your victory.
01:17:05It's only right that you should enjoy it too.
01:17:33I see that you are dressed to suit the occasion.
01:17:38Are you still ready to sign?
01:17:42Yes, I'll sign.
01:17:44You've won.
01:17:45I was foolish to hold out.
01:17:49A cigar?
01:17:52May I have my son back?
01:17:55A cigar?
01:17:58May I have my son back?
01:18:03First you must sign.
01:18:11Will you pre-elder too?
01:18:16When you have signed.
01:18:18Forgive me, General.
01:18:20But I prefer it to be done first.
01:18:22I hope that he's here.
01:18:28Very well.
01:18:31He will be a witness to our pact.
01:18:35Bring the prisoner here.
01:18:41Unshackle him and bring him a chair.
01:18:52Happy birthday to you.
01:18:56Happy birthday to you.
01:19:02Do you feel ill, Princess Maria?
01:19:04Please leave me alone.
01:19:13Well, my friend.
01:19:16This is a day of joy for you as well.
01:19:19From today, your master is my friend.
01:19:23And you are a subject of his imperial majesty.
01:19:26The end justifies the means.
01:19:28Follow my example if you love freedom.
01:19:45Come on, Elder!
01:19:50Come on!
01:19:55Come on, Ziggy!
01:20:19Come on, Ziggy!
01:20:21Come on, Ziggy!
01:20:48You mustn't be so sad.
01:20:50This will be a very happy day for you.
01:20:53You'll see.
01:20:54You'll be queen and reign with me.
01:21:02The news of the white warrior's escape spread like wildfire.
01:21:06The mountain tribesmen rallied to his banner.
01:21:09Soon he had a powerful force at his command
01:21:12with which to try and overthrow the treacherous Ahmed Khan
01:21:16and save his country and his loved ones from the enemy.
01:21:21The White Warrior
01:21:36We will go down into the village for our wedding ceremony.
01:21:39I want everyone to be happy and in peace at last.
01:21:51The White Warrior
01:22:04To arms! To arms!
01:22:06Close the gates! Hurry! Close the gates!
01:22:09Hold your fire!
01:22:12Hold your fire!
01:22:14Hold your fire!
01:22:16Hold your fire!
01:22:27Don't shoot! That's an order!
01:22:46Don't shoot!
01:23:16Don't shoot!
01:23:46Don't shoot!
01:24:16Don't shoot!
01:24:46Don't shoot!
01:25:16Don't shoot!
01:25:46The End
