Get it off your head. This is no joke.
Is this everything for Krasnoyarsk, sir?
Put in a request for two B-200s as well.
Okay.
You wanted to see me, sir?
- Hey, what's up? - Hey.
What're you still doing on base?
Look at this situation.
I can't go out there without a sixth man.
There are 100 new recruits outside.
Those guys?
They're a bunch of preschoolers.
They need six more months at least.
What's wrong with them?
And what about you?
How did you learn, huh?
In the forest putting out fires.
And they can do the same.
I learned the hard way.
So pick one and make a capable smokejumper out of 'em.
You are an instructor, are you not?
[SIGHS]
Vladimir, I lost a man.
I'm sad about the kid too,
but we'll mourn when the season's done.
Now isn't the time.
I've never seen a season like this, ever.
Irkutsk's burnin'.
Siberia,
Karelia.
The whole country's up in flames.
We don't have enough people and you're hangin' around here.
I already told you I won't take another rookie.
Get out and retire then.
Get out there.
Dismissed.
I said dismissed.
[OPERATORS CHATTERING] [PHONES RINGING]

Where's Katya? [CLEARS THROAT]
- Tanya. - Huh?
Where's Katya?
At lunch.

Wait a second.
You tell her dad was here, okay?
- You got it. - Thank you.
[OPERATORS CHATTERING] [PHONES RINGING]
[OPERATOR] I can take a message if you like.
Hey Tanya, who are these from?
From a guy.
Kinda funny-looking, wears shades, one of the new recruits.
He's very handsome. [CHUCKLES]

Roma, what's that scraping noise?
That's me.
Are we there yet?
We are now.

Let's hit the skies.
But I'm on my lunch break.
Don't worry. One hour is plenty.
And if it isn't, you'll jump out right into the office
and land right at your computer.
- And the parachutes? - Right here.
It's all been checked over.
I took care of everything.
Would ya look at that?
Beautiful, right?
Perfect for my beautiful lady.
Put it on.
I'll go get the pilot.
Hey Pavel!
Pavel!
Hey, I brought another jumper along like we agreed.
[SOFT SOOTHING MUSIC]
Stop the music. Finish your tea and let's go.
Hey, where are you going?
We discussed this.
Come on, out.
Stop checking up on me, dad.
It's called being concerned and caring.
I get it. You're back, you missed me.
You're worried.
Who packed the parachutes, huh?
Your boyfriend?
- Okay, where is he? - Dad!
- "Dad," what? - Nothing.
C'mere.
- Where is he? - Can't jump, can't fly.
- I feel like Rapunzel. - Pavel's so formal.
Just call me Pasha.
Pasha, get over here.
I never said she could fly.
Pasha, get back here!
Just a sec.
Hi there.
And you are, huh?
I'm Roman Ilyin.
I see.
- Whose unit? - Nobody's.
I'm new here.
Why aren't you training?
Training is for amateurs.
I'm a natural.
Call me a -
future hero of Russia.
Oh, come on. Why so uptight?
I'm just kidding around.
- Dad, this is Roman. He's-- - Don't you have lunch?
- Go eat. - Dad.
Go on, have your lunch.
Go on now.
I just wanted to show Kat a good time.
She told me she hadn't flown in years,
so I pulled out a surprise.
Pretty sweet of me, huh?
If I see you with her again,
you're going to be flying solo back home.
Am I clear?
Roman?
Thing is I can't give you a refund.
I spent it already.
Spent it all already, huh?
Nice running, by the way.

It's my mom's birthday and I wrote her a postcard.
I need you to check my spelling.
"Dear Mama," comma.
"I most likely won't be able to visit as everything's on fire."
Lose the hyphen and likely has an E in it.
"As soon as I can," comma.
"I'll be right there with you."
It's there not their.

A smokejumping unit comprises a minimum of six members.
The unit is led by a squad leader
and transported to the fire by a spotter.
It's a spotter's job to assess fire type,
the fire perimeter, its direction and other parameters.
And why is that?
Like an eagle from above, I see everything. [CHUCKLES]
Any questions?
No questions.
Dismissed.
Valera.
I need to fly, but I'm short a man.
Take five of us, then just write down six.
Alexey, six isn't just some random number.
But I know you trust me and my unit.
I do.
I'm not writing down anything.
Listen to me, half of Karelia's on fire. Why do you have to be so--
No, this isn't war and I'm not taking any risks.
Valera.
Come on, Valera. Just this once, huh?
We're done here.
Sir!
[FIREFIGHTER 1] Gromov's saying some crazy things -
[FIREFIGHTER 2] about us being disbanded and you being dismissed.
He says this guy's our squad leader now.
What the hell?
Sir?

Hold onto your parachutes, boys.
I'm not goin' anywhere.
Get ready to fly.

Listen, go ahead and assign him to my unit.
Tanya, I'm sorry.
[FIRETRUCK ENGINES ROARING]
Stop right here.
The B-200 is an amphibious aircraft.
It's basically a flying boat.
It can carry up to 12 tons of water.
- Kolya, may I? - Sure.
Ilyin, please stand.
Call me Roman.
Why did you become a smokejumper?
To serve and protect.
[GROUP CHUCKLING]
Fine.
I love planes and forests, you know?
- Can't live without those forests. - It shows.
- I'll take him. - Go ahead.
Come with me.
Okay.
How did you meet Katya?
Well, basically on the internet.
We were messaging a lot, you know?
You never let her go anywhere,
so I kinda came here and to serve and protect as well.
Attaboy.
I got your things for you right here.
The hell for?
Well, you're in my unit now.
You'll serve and protect with me.
Oh,
I get it.
You're taking me along so that I'd fly with you,
see a real fire and realize it's no joke.
Am I getting that right, Pops?
Catch a burn and run off home, that type of thing?
- Only I don't scare easily. - We'll see.
We fly in five minutes.
If you're late, I'll report you missed take-off.
You know what happens then.
I hit the road with Kat.
Katya is not going anywhere,
that I promise you.
I'm a man of my word. Ask the guys.

It's gonna get dirty all the same when we fly.
Bon apetit.
Thank you.
I'm curious, Pavel.
Do you have a single shirt that's white?
Why?
What do you mean why?
A pilot starts wearing white shirts
and it changes how he views himself and his work.
[PEN TAPPING]
Oh come on, Valera.
We're not taking a bunch of politicians fishing.
We're like bus drivers, there and back.
Oh look, it's our passengers.

- C'mon, c'mon, c'mon! - What do you think you're doing?
You have to be assigned a task first.
- I know mine. - You do, huh?
Explain it to me.
Well basically, I gotta dig this ditch a little longer
so the fire doesn't jump across to my side.
And what's this ditch called?
It's called soil?
- Yeah? - Uh.
- Come on. - Uh.
- Spring soil. - Keep thinkin' of bottled water.
- Why did you sit down? - One sec.
The term's mineral soil. You got it?
Yeah, sure. That's what I meant.
Okay and then what?
Well next, we have to set our own fire to go meet it.
- Yeah, to meet what? - To meet you, fire curls.
Listen, rook. What's with the attitude?
Whoa, why you gotta get up in my face?
Okay, so we need to set our fire to meet that one,
then they kinda extinguish each other.
- And what is that called? - It's called a meeting fire?
Meeting basically, you know.
Basically, sure.

Why didn't you warn the locals?
My whole camp burned down. My unit's lost everything.
Guys, what's burned is burned.
You put the fire out and we're headin' home tomorrow.
We need to sit on this thing at least another week.
Can't be serious.
We best head to the village then.
At least we'll be able to get some sleep there.
Don't worry.
We'll sleep here on the forest floor.

I'll go there myself.

She can hook us up with some blankets and some real food.

Valera, here's your buckwheat.
Sorry I couldn't get more.
Pasha, the way you look,
I'm surprised they gave you anything.
I got a whole jar of honey.
- Local pilot, he has his own bees. - Bees?
The unit's got nothing to eat.
Honey's very nutritious.
Did you gas up the plane?
About that,
it doesn't seem like there's a whole lotta fuel here either.
There's no fuel, Valera, okay?
There's enough to fly the unit home but not to patrol.
What's that look for?
We can use the chopper over there.
Come meet the pilot.
He's kind of a hermit.
Flies an M-i like a god.

Greetings, dear colleagues.
Come take in the morning sun with me.
There's no sun like it anywhere else.
Okopych meet our spotter, Valera.
Okopych will fly us around so we can have eyes on the fire.
I don't get it. Are you a pilot or a beekeeper?
Life with the bee is life in harmony.
Okopych, is this buckwheat honey?
- Floral. - What flowers?
Dandelions.
What kind, yellow or the gray kind?
- Pasha. - Huh?
Come here a second.
Yes, sir?
Was it the buckwheat or the shirt?
What did I do?
Go find fuel.
Well, shall we?
Larisa Ivanovna is an older lady

You have an eye problem?
What do you mean, wrong spot?
You're always wearing those.
It's just how I roll.
[AXE CHOPPING]
I can hook you up with a sweet pair if you'd like.
Help take a few years off.
It'll help -
offset -
the hair loss.
- Whose, mine? - Well, yeah.
I don't mind.
Sunglasses help compensate.
A little style, you know?
Listen,
Mr. Stylist,
I can see that you're scared.
Happens to a lotta people and the shades don't hide it.
What do you mean scared?
When you flew, I flew.
And when you jumped, I jumped.
It was me who saw the backfire and saved everybody,
so how 'bout we talk like adults?
Like adults, how do you mean?
This plan of yours ain't working.
Get me? Come on, admit it.
[CLEARS THROAT]
Okay, listen here.
Forests have always burned and they always will.
It's the law of nature like my hair loss, understand?
Now my job is to save people from these fires.
But the fact that Katya hasn't told you about her condition goes to show...
how much she trusts you.
[FIRE CRACKLING]
[WOODPECKER PECKING]
Vegetative vascular dystonia.
You ever heard of that?
Sure, it's like when dystonia.
Mm-hmm.
- I mean I've definitely heard of it. - Lemme explain.
At high altitudes, Katya can experience panic attacks
either on a plane or jumping, from the changing air pressure.
It's that simple.
Got it?
Now this junk you brought us couldn't heat a bird's nest.
We need real firewood. Go get some birch.
You know what it looks like, right?
Vegetative vascular what?
[FIRE CRACKLING]
[HELICOPTER BLADES WHIRRING]
Sokolov, do you copy?
Copy that.
We found the base of the fire.
The wind's driving it towards Olkhovo.
- How much time do we have? - Not much.
It's a crown fire. Can you hear me?
It's over 100 meters a minute. It can't be stopped.
Get your men and we'll get you out.
Got it. Sending up a flare now.

- Hey, dad. - Kat, it's Roman.
Roman.
Oh, my God.
How are you? Are you all right?
Hey, do you trust me, Katya?
What do you mean?
Just what I said, do you trust me or don't you?
Roman, did something happen?
Yeah, my girlfriend didn't tell me about her chronic illness.
I've coped fine with it for three years.
- Could've gotten sick. - I'm fine, okay?
How can I prove it if you won't let me fly?
Hiding it was irresponsible.
Did you even consider how I would feel?
Is it me you're worried about or trouble with my dad?
Your dad and I are getting along just fine.
I'm worried about you and me.
So why are you giving me such a hard time?
[SOFT FOREBODING MUSIC] [SEAGULLS SQUAWKING]
Hello?
Roman, can you hear me?
Hello?
Great, now I'm getting the silent treatment.

Not one of our men is sober.

I'm going to get my grandson.

Where's the satphone?
We have to inform the base.
Listen, head to camp, find the rookie and get back here.
We don't want people to panic.
Fire!
The forest is on fire!
- Shh, quiet. - We saw a fire there.
A big one.
- It's close. Over there. - Shut up.
Where's the satphone?

I needed to call Katya.
Give it here.

Hurry up, rook. We need to tell base.

You were telling me all that stuff about her health,

[LAPTOP CHIMING]
Here.
Look, it's just come in, see?
Can't you see what's happening there?
You need to send people in planes,
B-200s as soon as possible.
The Be-200s are needed elsewhere.
The chemical plant is in danger.
Its gas line's exposed and you're worried about a village.
I see.
So that's why we let homes and malls burn.
It's just a bunch of worthless people, that's all.
And what if I send those planes out there for nothing?
- Who's gonna answer for that? - I will if nobody else will.
You care more about your career
than you do other people's lives.
- You're too young. - Maybe I am, but I get it all right.
Don't count on others.
Nobody's looking out for you or coming to rescue you.
And if anything happens to these guys,
you'll bail on them as well in a heartbeat!
If these aren't your own people,
then who are?
You Sokolovs are real hard asses.
We're here. Fire's coming this way.
The river's here.
It's four clicks through the forest.
We make it there and we're safe.
We won't make it carrying the kids.
We'll put the kids and the women in the chopper.
Valera, do you copy?
I'm sending out a line. Clip onto it and we'll go.
Valera, do you copy?
We're evacuating people.
Negative. I've come to get you out.
We're not going anywhere. Sit 'er down, Valera.
No can do. She's too old.
I need you to take the children.
I repeat: I cannot land.
I'm sending you down a line. Clip onto it and we'll go.
Hawk, do you copy?
Hawk!
Valera, I need to know how much your line can hold.
- For what? - We can take two tons.
Oh no, no, no. No way.
Keep going! Lower!
Okay, we've got it.
All right, it's attached.
What the hell is going on, huh?
Hey, so we going or not?
Change of plan. We'll head for the river through the forest.
Road's out of action.
- Ditch the thing. - With the kids, are you nuts?
- Women and kids go by air. - Are you insane?
- They could fall. - Only option we got.
We can't land the helicopter. It's too dangerous.
We're carefully going to lift them and take them to base.
Take him.
Come on, buddy. It's fine.
- Sit there. - There's no time.
Get the kids!
[HELICOPTER BLADES WHIRRING]

- Come here. - Mom.
- Listen to me. - I'm done listening to you.
You have to calm down now.
Calm down? Would you put your own kids in there?
Look at me.
If my daughter were here, she'd be in there with you, understand?
Understand? Do you understand?
- Come on, come on. - Come on up.

Decide who's getting off or nobody goes anywhere.
Ladies, all of you get off the truck.
- We'll just take the kids. - Who'll stay with them?

What are we going to do?
Is it much further to the river?
- Just a little. - How much is a little?
About 200 meters, maybe 300.
[PYOTR] Stop panicking. Panic's worst than fire.
We're rescuing you.
[VILLAGER] You guys don't even know what you're doing.
[VILLAGER 2] Who's gonna rescue us?
[VILLAGER 3] There's fire everywhere.
- Quiet. Calm down. - How much cable do you have?
- How long is it? - Think I measured it?
I see. Give it here.
Kostik, help me.
Everybody quiet!
Now listen to me.
I'm going to lay a pathway to the river with this cable
and then you're going to follow it.
How will we know when to set off?
I'll send up a flare. You'll see it in the sky.
- Will you make it? - I'll make it back.
And what do we do if you don't?
- Konstantin. - Yes, sir.
There are fire shelters in this backpack.
If I don't make it, hand them out.
- But there aren't enough. - So some of us won't make it?
Huh?
- Some of us are done for, huh? - Nobody's done for, Pops.
Pops, look at me.
Kostik, hang on for two minutes.
Hmm?
