The Man Who Saved the World

Hello, Mr. Petrov. We still hope that you'll give an interview -

- in regards to the nuclear weapons incident.

So, please call us back on 908-8-43-17...

Morons!

Lousy journalists!

I love you.

I love you so much.

Damn it!

Leave me alone for God's sake!

"Dear Mr. Petrov.

We are very happy, that you've agreed -

- to come to the United States of America."

"Only then will everyone understand -

- how close we came to the end of mankind."

New facts are emerging in the story of the South Korean airliner.

It was discovered that an American spy plane was flying -

- on a parallel course and observing its flight.

There is no doubt that these actions are a blatant provocation -

- far from where American nuclear warheads are located.

Help me with the pillow.

"My wife, she was touched to the depths of her soul that

That for over 10 years you couldn't share this story -

even with your own wife."

You have a night shift?

Yes.

Someone got sick. I got called in.

Raya. You have to take them in order to get better.

- I better lay down now. - Yes.

Everything's alright.

"Many believe that a nuclear war -

- is just a scary reminder of the past. "

"But I believe this opinion

will change drastically."

Hey, get over here.

What are they doing here?

What are they doing?

I saw they were filming something.

What are they filming?

To hell with these reporters!

Lousy journalists.

Go to hell!

Fuck you Americans. Go to hell, pigs!

Hello!

Come in, please!

Come in, please! Welcome!

Ah, damn it's hot!

Fucking tea!

What the hell is with this box! Damn.

Care for some tea?

How old were you when you went to the army'?

Seventeen.

My parents simply pushed me -

- so they didn't have to take care of me.

Well, they simply

What's the right expression?

They shoved me aside!

I didn't need the army!

I had no...

I no longer had a connection to my family in any way.

What was it like realising that?

It was very bad!

My whole life to be sliced off.

And not having the family that I was born and raised into.

That's all.

Maybe we can stop talking about this?

I can't do it!

I can't do it!

I-.-

I don't know what else to tell you.

I can't do this! No, that's enough.

That's enough.

I don't want my mother to be part of this interview.

I don't want this in the interview!

What the fuck!

What's wrong with this guy?

I've said it many times already!

To hell with you!

I've said it a couple of times already!

Goddamnit! We agreed -

- that I would be interviewed about my incident in 1983!

I don't want -

- a single word about my mother in the interview!

Enough!

Get the hell out of here!

Get out!

Take your cameras and microphones!

Enough! Wasn't I clear just now?

Take your shit! Turn the camera off!

We're done. Get out of here! Fuck off. Go, go, go. Everyone!

Get out!

Get your camera and go fuck yourself.

Why did I agree?

The devil made me agree.

- Hello? - Who's there?

- Stanislav Evgrafovich? - Galya?

Yes. Can you hear me? It's Galya.

I'm calling to say everything's alright. I have your visa and ticket.

What about my money? If they cheat me, I'm not going!

No one will trick you.

They'll pay the first half now and the second at the end...

If those foreigners trick me, I won't go!

No one will trick you. Don't worry. Everything is going to be fine.

Let me help you with the bag.

No, I've got it, thank you.

- What about my money? - You'll get your money.

I don't trust them!

- Your mum can hear you kissing me? - Yeah!

Mum, I'm kissing Andrew!

Hi, Mum! Now I'm obligated to marry you, right?

We can start to talk about that.

I'm going to give you another gift right now.

- So, I go to the banya - What's with the banya'?

I'm asking you, did you read about the South Korean plane?

- Of course, everyone did. - Tell me what you think.

Now talk to me.

Do you really think this could start a new world war?

They dropped two atom bombs. How do we know they won't drop one on us?

These crusty Americans think they can do anything!

If I were ordered to drop a bomb on them, I'd say:

"Yes, right away. It doesn't bother me!"

I apologise, Colonel. I was venting.

Won't happen again.

Little bombs will fly they will fly

Stanislav Evgrafovich, that big building we're passing by there.

That's the UN.

Yes, that big one with the lights.

Beautiful building. Like a ship.

I just told the driver that you're giving a speech at the UN.

What speech?

A short speech.

They told me I just would be answering questions.

There is a speech at the UN tomorrow, yes.

It's not a long speech. Just say something

Nobody told me anything! What speech?

Where did this come from?

Naturally, they're expecting a performance.

What else are these arses expecting from me'?

Besides a goddamn speech?

- How am I to understand this! - Well...

It's not a big deal, just a short speech.

I'm not some slimy politician who can blab away at all times.

I'm a regular person!

For me, a speech is an event! Especially in a place like this!

How am I to take this?!

Vapid morons!

- Did he upset you or something? - This creep keeps yelling at me.

Like I'm a piece of shit.

I'm fucked. Two more weeks of this!

Fucking cunt! Punch him in the face and he'll calm the fuck down!

No, I can't punch his face. I work with him. I'm his translator.

- How can he treat you like that? - This is crap! I hate that old fart!

Listen, I pity you.

What can I do?

What the hell am I doing here?

Damn it!

If they didn't pay me I'd leave in a heartbeat!

- Good evening. - Good evening.

- Petrov! - Glad you haven't fallen asleep yet.

- Any abnormalities? - No.

The system has been running smoothly. Everything's been fine.

Well, then continue with the protocol.

Dear ladies and gentlemen.

I'm very pleased and happy to meet you -

in such an auditorium.

There is only one thing that embarrasses me.

When what I've done is labelled as something heroic.

The worst part of my job that night was -

- that I had massive doubts about whether or not my decision was right.

But, fortunately I was right.

And I am very happy to see you all here today.

Smiling and in good health.

Our world has never been closer-

- to complete catastrophe than it was in 1983!

Even the tiniest spark -

- could have meant the destruction of our civilisation!

That's why we all have to remember-

- as long as both sides keep their nuclear arsenals -

- the danger of nuclear war can't be excluded!
