Commandant and Colonel Gorky's forces link up to shoot at the convicts and push them back. The convicts' retreat, firing back.
"Press forward! I must possess the Cross of Seven Jewels!" said Colonel Gorky.
"I hope your precious jewel is worth it," spoke a Cossack.
Colonel Gorky points a threatening finger at the Cossack.
"That is not your concern! Do as you're told!" said sharply Colonel Gorky.
Sam, Chen, and Daina are pinned down by rifle fire from oncoming Cossacks riding horses closing in.
"Cover me!" said Sam.
Chen nods, then he and Daina suddenly stand up and fire back at the oncoming Cossacks. Sam flees from the cover behind them and starts across "No Man's Land". Sam zig-zags through the treacherous rifle fire. Colonel Gorky sees Sam and points at him, shouting a command.
"Cossacks! Cut him down!" barked Colonel Gorky.
The Cossacks turn and focus their firepower on Sam. Chen and Daina see what's happening. Chen points to Sam.
"Man with a problem, Daina!" said Chen.
Daina turns sharply, gunning down the Cossacks. Colonel Gorky is hissing in anger. He dives at Sam. Amid the confusion — Commandant on foot, shouting and shoving fleeing Cossacks. He fires his sidearm in warning, trying to get them to regroup against an onslaught of convicts which have them in disarray.
"Stand your ground," reported the Commandant.
Colonel Gorky hurtles at his feet first, striking him from behind and knocking Sam out on his ass. Colonel Gorky hurls his sabre at Sam. Sam sidesteps the sabre. Colonel Gorky dives on Sam and slams him to the ground. They roll over and over in a furious struggle, grunting in exertion. Sam is down. Colonel Gorky lunges at him. Sam lifts his legs high at the last moment and flips Colonel Gorky over his head and into a snowbank.
Cossacks rush up in fury as horses run up behind them. A large and terrifying muzzle. A German shepherd on a leash comes charging through the snow. Tearing the clothes off of the convicts. Just as Sam and his convicts have been surrounded by a dozen fur-garbed Cossack guards with rifles. Their hammers were pulled back and aimed directly at them. The only thing missing is the command to open fire. There were several who had leashed German shepherds. And the Commandant, who walks forward.
