To the Lake (Эпидемия)

Aunty Anya, you're not coughing anymore?

I'm not.

Looks like I've actually recovered.

What about the eyes?

I've never seen anything like it. But I'm not an ophthalmologist.

She's cured.

How do you explain that?

There must be some kind of antibodies

or weakened pathogens in my blood.

I didn't even get infected back at the hospital.

I mean, in general, no virus has ever killed everyone, so...

I just don't have another explanation.

- Is she not contagious anymore? - She's not coughing anymore.

But I think all of us should continue to take precautions.

Your throat's not sore anymore?

No, everything went at once.

I can't believe it.

Yes...

and I could use some food.

One second. One second, I'll bring you something.

We have to tell her.

Tell her what?

We're gonna tell her what happened.

- Ira. - What?

Will you tell her or not?

Where's Dad?

Dad!

Boris?

- Boris? - Dad!

- Boris, where are you? - Boris?

Boris?

Dad!

The light.

- Did he complain about anything? - I don't know, we don't talk much.

He wouldn't have said.

A stroke?

No, it's the heart.

Bring me a towel, fast, and my orange box.

Here. Here's the box.

- I can try an open heart massage. - Here.

We need to open his chest.

Put it under his head.

Anya...

you're alive.

He heard me.

Help us.

There. That's it.

Everything's all right.

Pavel, are you coming with us?

With everything going on, I realized we didn't speak about it.

The nearest lab must be somewhere in Petrozavodsk.

And, frankly, I'm not positive we are, but...

I need to get there somehow.

I'll walk. Take the van, I don't know how to drive anyway.

You're gonna walk to Petrozavodsk?

- Or... try to hitch a ride. - "Hitch a ride"?

These masked bastards will drop you in a ditch.

Still gotta do my best.

To do what?

Save everyone from the disease. His blood's a vaccine, right?

It's not a vaccine.

A vaccine prevents.

It's more of a remedy.

I'm not quite sure about everything. That's why I need to go.

The man wants to help all of us.

Unlike the others.

He doesn't care about saving only his own skin, unlike you.

Can you imagine?

Hop in, I'll drive.

You're not driving anyone. We're not going there.

Who's "we"?

You can do what you want. You live your life, I'll live mine.

All right, you know what, you can go if you like.

- But Anton stays with me. - Mmm-hmm, sure thing.

Let's get in the car.

Ira, are you serious?

You're really gonna do this to me right now?

Go on. Hide behind your dad's corpse.

He'd be proud of you.

So...

let's reach your destination together.

I'll help you all to settle down and take care of Anya's health.

And you'll teach me to drive, then I'll go. That work for you?

You've got a deal.

What else do we have here?

You can use these to make...

Look, aliens!

No, hey, don't touch that.

What else?

Oh, do you know what this is?

Let's have a look.

Here, put these in your ears.

Can you hear it?

The right side is your heart and when you breathe,

you can hear the air inside you.

I want to hear Mom's heart first.

Mom's heart?

I don't know.

Through the clothes...

Let's give it a try.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Well?

I don't hear anything.

Mmm? I told you, through the clothes, it won't work.

Oh, shit!

There's a creek over there. Then no more footprints.

They must have lost control. Icy roads, I guess.

And these others?

Why didn't they go along? Why did they go toward the woods?

Maybe they couldn't get out. It's dangerous to go along the road.

I would've made the same choice after all we've seen.

Let's get a move on before it gets dark.

Misha.

Where do you want to go?

Well, I have to go and find them.

We gotta go look for them. Mom, Ira, and Anton can stay here.

And Pavel can stay with them. We'll leave him the rifle.

We have two radios.

We'll follow their footprints until nightfall.

It'll be a rescue mission.

Misha, I...

What?

Well, we have to go find them.

We'll have to go find them.

- We'll go, we'll... - Misha.

They chose to leave, right?

It was their choice.

Now, we have to take care of ourselves.

Did you see all of the blood?

Was someone chasing them? Why were they in a rush?

All right, I'm done with this guessing game.

Let's go.

Misha, listen.

Maybe they're already there... at the lake house?

How much time has passed?

In theory?

Or they're still on their way there.

They know where they can find us.

Misha, a day has passed already.

They're already far away, Misha. We can't help them anyway.

Let me go. Let me... let me go.

They aren't our family.

Think of your mom.

They are not our family, Misha.

Hey.

What's wrong? What's going on with him?

- Easy. Easy. It's all right. - Does he have epilepsy?

He had his last fit when he was eight. I thought it was over.

- Easy. Easy. - Is this my fault?

No. You've done nothing wrong.

- Everything's all right. - Get his tongue.

Everything's all right.

You're okay, you're okay.

Easy, easy, easy...

Polya!

Polya!

Honey!

Polya!

Let's go.

Give me the rifle.

Marina.

We're there.

Stand up! Stand up!

We're going to get warm.

Let's go. Come on.

Drop the rifle.

Is anyone else here?

Oh, my God...

I can't believe we made it.

The ice may be thin in places, so make sure you don't bring too much.

- We should make a few trips. - Mmm-hmm.

Come on, let's go.

Misha, we're here.

Can you walk, Mish?

Look, I'm sorry, I didn't know about your condition.

Will you shake my hand?

Well, okay.

Take all the time you need, then.

Let's go.

Anton, give me your hand.

So, look at this.

Does it sail?

No, Anton, it's only the hull of the ship.

Everything inside is changed.

Are there any fishing rods?

Oh, yeah.

Will you teach me how to catch fish?

We're gonna catch so many fish today, we'll be having fish soup for dinner.

Stop!

Go down to Mom.

Come on.

Looks like there's no one here.

Sergey, have a look.

Still warm.

Just great.

In here.

That's it, right here. Close the door.

Hold on, sweetie.

We're gonna warm you up.
