Part one.
"MEN AND MAGGOTS."

11
00:01:04,770 --> 00:01:07,610
The spirit of revolution
soared over the Russian land.

12
00:01:07,690 --> 00:01:11,410
A tremendous, mysterious process
was taking place in countless hearts.

13
00:01:11,490 --> 00:01:15,810
The individual personality, having hardly
had time to become conscious of itself...

14
00:01:15,890 --> 00:01:20,410
dissolved in the mass, and the mass itself
became dissolved in the revolutionary élan.

15
00:01:28,410 --> 00:01:30,450
Sailors Matyushenko and Vakulinchuk.

16
00:01:31,930 --> 00:01:38,370
We, the sailors of Potemkin,
must support the workers, our brothers...

17
00:01:38,450 --> 00:01:43,050
and stand among the front lines
of the revolution!

18
00:01:49,810 --> 00:01:53,170
Heavy and gloomy is the sleep
of the off duty.

19
00:02:41,650 --> 00:02:43,570
Attentive, but clumsy.

20
00:02:45,570 --> 00:02:47,690
He vents his anger on a young man.

21
00:03:09,850 --> 00:03:11,730
Hurtful...

22
00:03:18,730 --> 00:03:19,850
Vakulinchuk

23
00:03:23,410 --> 00:03:28,970
Comrades! The time has come
when we too must speak out.

24
00:03:37,890 --> 00:03:44,410
Why wait? All of Russia has risen!
Are we to be the last?

25
00:04:01,250 --> 00:04:01,970
Morning.

26
00:05:08,250 --> 00:05:12,370
We've had enough rotten meat!

27
00:05:17,010 --> 00:05:21,170
Even a dog wouldn't eat this!

28
00:05:38,050 --> 00:05:40,210
The ship doctor Smirnov.

29
00:05:44,610 --> 00:05:47,770
It could crawl overboard on its own!

30
00:06:06,850 --> 00:06:09,490
These aren't worms.

31
00:06:16,130 --> 00:06:21,210
They are dead fly larvae.
You can wash them off with brine!

32
00:06:32,010 --> 00:06:36,890
Russian prisoners in Japan
are fed better than we are!

33
00:06:38,330 --> 00:06:40,210
We've had enough rotten meat!

34
00:06:58,170 --> 00:07:02,970
It's good meat.
End of discussion!

35
00:07:39,850 --> 00:07:42,930
Senior Officer Giliarovsky

36
00:09:40,170 --> 00:09:43,450
Impotent rage was overflowing.

37
00:10:56,850 --> 00:10:58,090
The ship's store.

38
00:11:29,250 --> 00:11:31,690
The sailors refused to eat the borscht.

39
00:13:16,730 --> 00:13:20,530
GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY BREAD

40
00:13:52,210 --> 00:13:56,050
Part two.
"DRAMA ON THE DECK."

41
00:14:31,210 --> 00:14:33,010
Commander Golikov

42
00:15:03,250 --> 00:15:05,330
Whoever is satisfied with the borscht

43
00:15:08,170 --> 00:15:10,170
take two steps forward!

44
00:15:13,770 --> 00:15:14,930
The petty officers.

45
00:15:32,810 --> 00:15:34,130
You're free to go!

46
00:15:39,970 --> 00:15:42,570
I'll hang the rest on the yard!

47
00:16:23,250 --> 00:16:24,850
Call the guards!

48
00:16:34,770 --> 00:16:40,370
Matyushenko, under the guise of breaking ranks,
calls the sailors to the gun turret.

49
00:16:51,490 --> 00:16:52,530
To the turret...

50
00:16:57,890 --> 00:16:59,090
To the turret!

51
00:17:01,650 --> 00:17:02,730
To the turret...

52
00:17:36,330 --> 00:17:37,330
Guys!...

53
00:17:38,050 --> 00:17:39,250
It's time.

54
00:17:53,170 --> 00:17:56,410
Most of them gathered by the turret.

55
00:18:14,450 --> 00:18:17,210
Stop! Don't move!

56
00:18:34,930 --> 00:18:38,290
They try to sneak through
the admiral's hatch.

57
00:18:44,850 --> 00:18:48,210
Back, scoundrels!
That way is not for you!

58
00:18:59,570 --> 00:19:02,010
I'll shoot you all like dogs!

59
00:19:14,170 --> 00:19:15,850
Cover them with canvas!

60
00:19:17,170 --> 00:19:18,770
Got it!

61
00:20:06,090 --> 00:20:08,530
Cover them!

62
00:20:28,090 --> 00:20:29,290
Attention!

63
00:20:59,170 --> 00:21:02,810
Dear Lord!
Make the disobedient see reason!

64
00:21:09,930 --> 00:21:13,330
Fire right into the canvas!

65
00:22:02,850 --> 00:22:05,490
Vakulinchuk decides.

66
00:22:06,490 --> 00:22:07,570
Fire!

67
00:22:08,010 --> 00:22:09,170
BROTHERS!

68
00:22:09,290 --> 00:22:11,370
Who are you shooting at?!

69
00:22:13,130 --> 00:22:15,250
The rifles quavered.

70
00:22:18,250 --> 00:22:20,810
Shoot!

71
00:22:23,090 --> 00:22:24,330
Everyone shoot!

72
00:22:28,410 --> 00:22:31,210
Shoot, scum!

73
00:22:41,810 --> 00:22:43,890
To the rifles, brothers!

74
00:22:48,850 --> 00:22:51,770
Smash the dragons! Smash 'em!

75
00:22:52,570 --> 00:22:54,730
Smash 'em all!

76
00:24:20,010 --> 00:24:22,770
Have fear of God!

77
00:24:29,810 --> 00:24:32,170
Beat it, sorcerer!

78
00:27:11,530 --> 00:27:15,890
To the bottom to feed the worms!

79
00:27:24,130 --> 00:27:27,290
Brothers! We've won!

80
00:27:38,010 --> 00:27:42,890
The bleeding Vakulinchuk
flees from the furious Giliarovsky.

81
00:28:21,930 --> 00:28:24,210
Vakulinchuk's overboard!

82
00:28:38,410 --> 00:28:40,970
Save Vakulinchuk!

83
00:29:18,530 --> 00:29:24,370
And he who was first to sound the cry of rebellion
was first to fall at the executioner's hand.

84
00:29:45,570 --> 00:29:48,330
To the shore.

85
00:30:10,530 --> 00:30:11,570
Odessa.

86
00:30:17,810 --> 00:30:23,490
A tent on the new pier in Odessa
is the final resting place for Vakulinchuk.

87
00:30:23,570 --> 00:30:25,370
FOR A SPOONFUL OF BORSCHT

88
00:31:09,770 --> 00:31:13,690
Part three.
"THE DEAD MAN CALLS OUT."

89
00:31:16,890 --> 00:31:19,770
Mist lingered on from the night...

90
00:32:37,890 --> 00:32:40,050
Rumours came from the pier.

91
00:34:07,370 --> 00:34:11,250
Together with the sun,
the news hit the city.

92
00:34:22,090 --> 00:34:24,090
The battleship raided...

93
00:34:30,410 --> 00:34:31,890
...rebellion...

94
00:34:44,690 --> 00:34:46,330
...shore...

95
00:34:52,130 --> 00:34:54,090
A killed sailor...

96
00:36:20,970 --> 00:36:22,610
We'll remember.

97
00:36:32,450 --> 00:36:35,450
For a spoonful of borscht.

98
00:36:39,450 --> 00:36:44,610
"Citizens of Odessa!
Lying before you is the body of the brutally
killed sailor Grigory Vakulinchuk...

99
00:36:44,690 --> 00:36:48,450
killed by a senior officer
of the squadron battleship Prince Tavrichesky.

100
00:36:48,530 --> 00:36:52,290
Let's take revenge on the bloodthirsty vampires!
Death to the oppressors!

101
00:36:52,370 --> 00:36:55,530
Signed: Crew of the squadron
battleship Prince Tavrichesky."

102
00:37:25,850 --> 00:37:29,770
Eternal memory to the fallen fighters!

103
00:37:32,290 --> 00:37:34,250
All for one.

104
00:37:40,210 --> 00:37:41,770
One

105
00:37:43,570 --> 00:37:45,770
for all.

106
00:38:30,010 --> 00:38:32,490
Down with the executioners!

107
00:38:50,010 --> 00:38:52,050
Down with tyranny!

108
00:39:12,850 --> 00:39:17,010
Mothers and brothers!
Let there not be differences
or hostility among us!

109
00:39:22,490 --> 00:39:24,850
Smash the Jews!

110
00:40:04,570 --> 00:40:06,130
Shoulder to shoulder.

111
00:40:09,370 --> 00:40:10,930
The land is ours.

112
00:40:17,090 --> 00:40:19,210
Tomorrow is ours.

113
00:40:46,570 --> 00:40:49,050
A delegate from shore.

114
00:40:52,010 --> 00:40:55,890
The enemy must be dealt
a decisive blow!

115
00:40:58,730 --> 00:41:02,090
Together with the rebelling workers
from all of Russia

116
00:41:06,850 --> 00:41:08,370
WE WILL WIN!

117
00:41:21,010 --> 00:41:27,090
The shore watched Potemkin
tensely and attentively.

118
00:42:01,450 --> 00:42:05,930
Part four.
"THE ODESSA STAIRCASE."

119
00:42:06,010 --> 00:42:10,130
In those memorable days,
the city lived together
with the rebellious battleship.

120
00:42:15,010 --> 00:42:19,610
Like a white-winged flock,
boats flew to the battleship.

121
00:46:14,890 --> 00:46:16,530
AND SUDDENLY

122
00:48:37,370 --> 00:48:39,770
Let's go! Let's convince them!

123
00:49:33,330 --> 00:49:36,210
Listen! Don't shoot!

124
00:49:52,210 --> 00:49:55,570
My boy is badly hurt.

125
00:50:10,970 --> 00:50:12,090
COSSACKS!

126
00:52:20,650 --> 00:52:26,490
And then the brutality of the military
authorities in Odessa was answered
with the battleship's shells.

127
00:52:28,570 --> 00:52:31,090
The target— the Odessa theater.

128
00:52:32,770 --> 00:52:35,090
The generals' headquarters.

129
00:52:52,650 --> 00:52:56,410
Part five.
"RENDEZVOUS WITH THE SQUADRON."

130
00:52:56,490 --> 00:52:59,050
Turbulent meetings went on until evening.

131
00:53:07,530 --> 00:53:13,490
The people of Odessa are waiting for the liberators!
Land the troops and the army will join you.

132
00:53:34,970 --> 00:53:39,890
Landing is not possible.
The admiral's squadron is coming our way.

133
00:54:06,850 --> 00:54:10,650
With one heart,
they decided to face the squadron.

134
00:54:20,090 --> 00:54:24,090
Night came, full of anxiety.

135
00:55:30,330 --> 00:55:36,050
The squadron was sneaking up
in the darkness.

136
00:56:22,010 --> 00:56:27,930
Sore from constant speech,
throats breathe heavily and unevenly.

137
00:58:12,410 --> 00:58:14,770
Squadron on the horizon!

138
00:59:26,770 --> 00:59:29,050
All hands on deck!

139
00:59:35,290 --> 00:59:37,170
Prepare for battle!

140
01:01:28,290 --> 01:01:29,650
Full speed!

141
01:02:43,130 --> 01:02:44,690
Hearts forward!

142
01:03:23,730 --> 01:03:27,090
Top speed!

143
01:03:41,850 --> 01:03:44,490
Potemkin and destroyer No. 267.

144
01:03:47,650 --> 01:03:49,650
The admiral attacks!

145
01:04:06,090 --> 01:04:08,490
The squadron draws near!

146
01:04:46,250 --> 01:04:49,330
Give the signal: join us!

147
01:04:54,370 --> 01:04:56,410
Join!...

148
01:04:58,810 --> 01:04:59,770
...us!

149
01:05:17,570 --> 01:05:20,490
The enemy is within firing range!

150
01:05:30,690 --> 01:05:32,570
All against one.

151
01:05:53,650 --> 01:05:54,930
ONE AGAINST ALL.

152
01:06:20,090 --> 01:06:22,090
Shoot?...

153
01:06:27,090 --> 01:06:28,090
or...

154
01:06:38,570 --> 01:06:39,570
BROTHERS!

155
01:07:08,970 --> 01:07:14,170
Above the heads of the tsar's admirals
thundered a brotherly hurrah.

156
01:07:21,850 --> 01:07:29,050
And proudly waving the red flag of victory,
without a single shot, the rebellious battleship
passed through the rows of the squadron.
