1
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,476
l am a stone.

2
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,192
l do not move.

3
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:54,591
Very slowly, l put snow in my mouth.

4
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:57,598
Then he won't see my breath.

5
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:07,432
l take my time.

6
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,076
l let him come closer.

7
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,515
l have only one bullet.

8
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,911
l aim at his eye very gently.

9
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,957
My finger presses on the trigger.

10
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,117
l do not tremble.

11
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,118
l have no fear.

12
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:31,837
l'm a big boy now.

13
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:37,434
Ready Vassili?

14
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,474
Now Vassili. Fire!

15
00:02:41,640 --> 00:02:42,993
Fire, Vassili!

16
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:02,876
All civilians, get off!

17
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,349
Make way, let the civilians off.

18
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,636
This is a military convoy.

19
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:12,633
No one stays onboard,
but our valiant soldiers.

20
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,674
Convoy to Stalingrad.

21
00:04:16,840 --> 00:04:20,071
Only for the soldiers of the Red Army.

22
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:08,512
Autumn, 1 942.

23
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,150
Europe lies crushed
beneath the Nazi jackboot.

24
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:19,116
The German Third Reich
is at the height of its power.

25
00:05:19,280 --> 00:05:21,999
Hitler's armies are charging
through the heart of the Soviet Union

26
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:23,957
towards the oil fields of Asia.

27
00:05:24,840 --> 00:05:26,478
One last obstacle remains.

28
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,038
A city on the Volga where the fate
of the world is being decided.

29
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,111
Stalingrad.

30
00:05:55,280 --> 00:05:57,953
The Army and all citizens
of the Soviet Union

31
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,430
must defend every inch of Soviet soil.

32
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:25,594
Glorious comrades, Stalin has ordered
not another step backwards.

33
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:47,355
Let us go forwards, comrades.
Not a step backwards.

34
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:10,510
Listen to these letters sent by Russian
mothers to their sons on the front.

35
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:16,396
Volodya, our child,
l know that it is for our motherland...

36
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:23,757
...it is for our motherland
that you are giving your life.

37
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:43,072
Everyone here knows
that you will not fall back.

38
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,270
Everyone here is proud of you.

39
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:53,393
Your father is dead. Your brothers
are dead. Avenge us on the fascists.

40
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:33,952
Get in the boat!

41
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,237
Get back or l'll shoot.
Get back from the rails.

42
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:41,791
Over here, stretcher.

43
00:09:47,560 --> 00:09:49,755
The one with the rifle shoots.

44
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,637
The one without follows him.

45
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,872
When the one with the rifle gets killed,

46
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:03,875
the one who is following
picks up the rifle and shoots.

47
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,034
The one with the rifle shoots.

48
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,271
The one without follows him.

49
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:14,909
When the one with the rifle gets killed,

50
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:21,114
the one who is following
picks up the rifle and shoots.

51
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,158
Soldiers of the glorious Red Army,

52
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,915
from now on it is either victory or death.

53
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:02,515
- Those who retreat...will be shot.
- l need a rifle.

54
00:11:02,680 --> 00:11:06,036
There will be no
mercy for cowards and traitors.

55
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,554
lt's hopeless, comrades. Get back.

56
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,753
Fall back! Fall back!

57
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,593
lt's no good.
Get back. Get back.

58
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:09,308
ln the name of the Soviet Union,
not a step backwards, or we shoot.

59
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:14,071
- No retreat. Not a step back.
- No mercy.

60
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,754
- Deserters will be shot.
- Fire!

61
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,189
No mercy for cowards.

62
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:02,479
Russians, surrender.

63
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:04,596
You will see your home again.

64
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:06,990
This is not your war.

65
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,155
Join your German comrades.

66
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:16,031
They understand your suffering and will
care more for you than your own officers,

67
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,873
who are only sending you to your death.

68
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,873
The Third Reich is not your enemy.

69
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:26,670
The enemy is bloodthirsty Stalin
and his Bolshevik gang.

70
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:53,194
Fire!

71
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,796
Get his coat, comrade Commissar.

72
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,829
With your permission,
comrade Commissar.

73
00:17:45,120 --> 00:17:50,353
- Which one should l aim at first?
- You should wait...till there's an explosion.

74
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:06,195
- Do you know how to shoot?
- A little.

75
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:57,956
Don't shoot.
He's looking at us.

76
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,758
Thank you, comrade Commissar.

77
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:16,348
Danilov. Political officer,
2nd class, 21st lnfantry.

78
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:44,715
On this day, September 20th 1 942,
a young shepherd boy from the Urals...

79
00:20:48,360 --> 00:20:51,511
...arrived in the city of Stalingrad
on the banks of the Volga.

80
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:54,319
His name is Vassili Zaitsev.

81
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,910
Like thousands before him
he came to answer comrade Stalin's call.

82
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:05,276
Armed only with a rifle,
he quickly made the fascist invader realise

83
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:09,831
that from now on he would be punished
for every step he took in the motherland,

84
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,310
that from here on the only way was back.

85
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:18,193
What do you think?

86
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:21,758
l think Comrade Commissar
is being over generous.

87
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:52,515
By order of comrade Stalin,
no civilian can leave the city.

88
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:55,279
Get back there!

89
00:21:57,360 --> 00:21:59,590
Stand away, or we will open fire.

90
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:23,469
Make way for comrade Stalin's envoy.

91
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:29,517
l carried out my orders.

92
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,549
l sent in all of my boys.

93
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,435
But the Germans engulfed us.

94
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:40,308
They have artillery, aircraft, tanks.

95
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:44,393
- And we, what did l have ?
- The sacred duty to resist.

96
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:46,836
l have to report to the boss.

97
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:51,875
Perhaps you would prefer
to avoid the red tape.

98
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:20,670
My name is Nikita Sergeievich Kruschev.

99
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,954
l've come to take things in hand here.

100
00:23:25,120 --> 00:23:28,795
This city is not Kursk.

101
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:32,635
Nor is it Kiev, nor Minsk.

102
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:36,076
This city is Stalingrad.

103
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:38,674
Stalingrad!

104
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,435
This city bears the name of the boss.

105
00:23:43,120 --> 00:23:45,395
lt's more than a city, it's a symbol.

106
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:49,988
lf the Germans capture this city,

107
00:23:51,120 --> 00:23:53,554
the entire country will collapse.

108
00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,550
l want our boys to raise their heads.

109
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,471
l want them to act like they have balls.

110
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,996
l want them to stop shitting their pants.

111
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:13,988
That's your job

112
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:21,313
As political officers, l'm counting on you.

113
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:27,195
You, what's your suggestion?

114
00:24:28,360 --> 00:24:32,558
Shoot all the other generals who have
retreated and their chiefs of staff too.

115
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:38,590
Make some examples.
Deport the families of the deserters...

116
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:41,478
Give them hope.

117
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,910
Here, the men's only choices
are between German bullets and ours.

118
00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:00,231
But there's another way.
A way of courage.

119
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,595
A way of love of the motherland.

120
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:06,070
We must publish the army newspaper
again and tell magnificent stories,

121
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,231
stories that exalt sacrifice, bravery.

122
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:10,995
We must make them believe in a victory

123
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:14,914
We must give them hope,
pride, a desire to fight.

124
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:21,030
We need to make examples,
but examples to follow.

125
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,755
What we need are heroes.

126
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:31,916
Do you know any heroes around here?

127
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:36,031
Yes, comrade.
l know one.

128
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,597
That's me. Vassili Zaitsev.

129
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,713
No. You're not dreaming.
lt's your name.

130
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:52,711
We made the front page.

131
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:55,872
They haven't changed a word.

132
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,560
Do you have any idea what this means?

133
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:05,036
lt's not the back page,
not the second page. lt's the front page.

134
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,156
They're going to reprint
our article everywhere,

135
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:10,517
in the Caucasus,
in the Crimea, even in the Urals.

136
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:14,468
Tomorrow morning,
Stalin himself will be sitting at breakfast

137
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,074
reading my words
memorising your name.

138
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,833
We're famous Vassili.
Kruschev loved the article.

139
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,639
He's promoted me to the general staff.

140
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,268
And you, to Sniper Division.

141
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:30,512
- Well, that's good.
- lt's very good.

142
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,148
- lt's very good. lt's great!
- lt's great!

143
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:36,869
lt's great for both of us
because we did it together.

144
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:38,792
Admittedly, l did all the hard work.

145
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,190
- You're very lucky l can't fight back.
- Why's that?

146
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,591
Kruschev told me to make sure nothing
happens to you. You're too important.

147
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:48,070
- l'm too valuable.
- Yes. Careful of my glasses, they're new.

148
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:49,593
Sorry, sir.

149
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,389
l'm famous. We're famous.

150
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:58,758
Vassili, the young shepherd from the
Urals, killed his 1 2th German officer today.

151
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:02,592
Today Vassili Zaitsev shot his 23rd...

152
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:04,113
One more colonel shot by...

153
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:05,713
He is an example to us all.

154
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:07,472
Today Vassili Zaitsev
killed his 32nd general.

155
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,956
More and more men and women from
the small branches of our armed forces

156
00:27:28,120 --> 00:27:32,318
volunteer to join the Sniper Division
and learn the skills of Vassili Zaitsev.

157
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:38,153
l am a stone.

158
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:43,432
l am a stone.

159
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:46,952
l breathe slowly.

160
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:56,517
l aim at the eye.

161
00:28:25,120 --> 00:28:26,712
So it is you.

162
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:29,676
The great Vassili Zaitsev.

163
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,589
My mother makes the best potatoes
and bacon in town.

164
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:34,954
Sounds good.

165
00:28:35,120 --> 00:28:38,078
When she sees you,
she won't believe her eyes.

166
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,759
- How many today?
- Only two.

167
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:45,714
And the last one,
why didn't you shoot him?

168
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:49,839
He was only a foot soldier.
lt wasn't worth giving away my position.

169
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:52,353
Bless you.

170
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:56,471
We know how much we owe you.

171
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,071
We pray for you everyday.

172
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:04,512
Every evening we listen to them
talk about you on Radio Moscow.

173
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,277
You've certainly managed well down here.

174
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:11,716
My parents used to store furniture
down here before the war.

175
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,758
Sacha, drop that right now.

176
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:17,399
lt's loaded.

177
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:29,358
- This way comrade Commissar.
- Thank you, comrade.

178
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:33,234
Good evening.

179
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:38,552
Comrade Zaitsev.

180
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,957
My God, where does
all this mail come from?

181
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:51,235
From all over the country,
Mrs Filipov, from all over.

182
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:56,631
This one's from the workers of the Kuzbas.
They want to name their mine after Vassili.

183
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:58,791
Right lets' start with the miners.

184
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,475
Come on, let's get to work.

185
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:09,954
Dear comrades from the Kuzbas,

186
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:13,032
l thank you for your letter of praise.

187
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:15,950
R-A-l-S-E.

188
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,397
l hope that l can live up
to your expectations.

189
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:28,154
A-T-l-O-N-S.

190
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,356
Expectations.

191
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:35,158
You're interested in German literature,
Mrs Filipov?

192
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,509
lt's all right.
lt's our neighbour.

193
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:43,869
Tania, we have guests.

194
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:57,279
l recognise you.

195
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:01,832
lt's Vassili Zaitsev.

196
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:09,755
l saw your picture in the paper.
Thank you for everything you're doing.

197
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:14,236
- And this is his friend, Commissar...?
- Danilov.

198
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:18,592
Tania's like a daughter to me.

199
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:21,354
She used to take care of Sacha
when l worked at the factory.

200
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:23,836
She even taught him German.
These books are hers.

201
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:27,470
- They're yours?
- She studied German at the university.

202
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:29,676
- Which university?
- Moscow.

203
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:43,869
- Shouldn't we...
- Yes, let's continue.

204
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:49,911
Your offer to name your mine after me is...

205
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:53,599
a great honour.

206
00:31:54,840 --> 00:32:00,358
- H-O-N.
- Yes, l know, honour.

207
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:08,509
Shouldn't we try and make the point
that l'm not the only one fighting?

208
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:14,277
That's an excellent idea.
We can take it even further though.

209
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:23,192
Your battle for the production of coal
is...as worthy as mine.

210
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:28,593
There's no 'K' in coal.

211
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:30,557
Just one 'L'.

212
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:35,795
Tell me if l'm going too fast.

213
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:40,590
No, you're not going too fast.
ls there any other improvements.

214
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:44,958
Why don't you get some rest?
These letters can wait until tomorrow.

215
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:48,908
We should carry on.
We're not tired. Thank you, Mrs Filipov.

216
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:52,993
These people took the trouble
to write to us.

217
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:55,355
Tomorrow we may not be around
to write back.

218
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:32,031
l was expecting someone...else.

219
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:34,919
Certainly not someone so prestigious.

220
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:39,995
l imagine you have your reasons
for getting involved in this hellish situation.

221
00:34:44,720 --> 00:34:47,393
My army is not designed
for this kind of fighting.

222
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:50,996
Yesterday, yet again,
l had to promote 25 sergeants

223
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:54,470
to replace the officers shot down
by their sharpshooters.

224
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:59,389
Those snipers are demoralising
my people.

225
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:05,633
This city...is no more
than a heap of ruins.

226
00:35:07,720 --> 00:35:09,950
But the Führer's persisting.

227
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,797
He has made it a personal matter
between Stalin and himself.

228
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:22,593
We should trust the Führer's instinct.

229
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:25,835
He always managed to lead us to victory.

230
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,388
We shall be back home for Christmas.

231
00:35:35,240 --> 00:35:38,676
How are you going to go about
finding this young Russian?

232
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:43,239
l'll fix it so that he's the one who finds me.

233
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:50,597
Vassili! Come on!
Time to get up.

234
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:55,069
They have a problem
in the department store. They need us.

235
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:08,109
Look, Vassili, he's hiding
in the department store, over there.

236
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:18,197
So far this morning, he's knocked off
five officers plus two machine gunners.

237
00:36:21,240 --> 00:36:22,912
Look! Third floor.

238
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:25,473
Fourth window from the left.

239
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:28,950
Fourth window...from the left.

240
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:35,950
- See him?
- Yeah, l see him.

241
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:51,631
- You got him!
- Great shot.

242
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:57,993
Let's go get his dogtag.

243
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:03,319
Goodbye, comrade Commissar.

244
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:05,630
Thank you for your hospitality, Mrs Filipov.

245
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:20,071
- You can borrow whatever you like.
- What would they say at headquarters

246
00:37:20,240 --> 00:37:23,232
if l came back with an armful
Goethe and Schiller?

247
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:24,799
There's some Marx too.

248
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:28,755
You were assigned to civil defence
at the 1 2th district?

249
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:30,638
No, l volunteered.

250
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:33,473
lt's such a coincidence
meeting you like this.

251
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:35,756
Comrade Kruschev was telling me
just yesterday

252
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:38,150
how desperately we're in need
of operators who speak German.

253
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:43,832
l can't. Our militia in this neighbourhood
is already short of men.

254
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,798
We'll give you a dozen soldiers
for everyone that speaks German.

255
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:48,712
l'd rather stay and fight.

256
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:51,792
Serving headquarters is fighting.
You'd be more useful there.

257
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:58,274
You stay here.
You cover us. We go.

258
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:01,995
Take care.

259
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:08,112
Ludmilla, come on.

260
00:38:58,120 --> 00:38:59,473
Take the stairway.

261
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:47,679
- lt's a trap.
- l know.

262
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:13,795
Move back.

263
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:01,995
He's still here.

264
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:29,919
- They're coming straight for us.
- Ludmilla, stay where you are.

265
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:31,957
He's over there somewhere.

266
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:44,714
We've got to get out of here.

267
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:51,514
- We have to get out of here.
- Just stay where you are.

268
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:56,277
What are we gonna do?

269
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:58,635
Ludmilla, stay where you are.

270
00:43:09,240 --> 00:43:10,878
Fuck this, l'm going.

271
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:15,358
Ludmilla, no!

272
00:44:06,720 --> 00:44:08,438
What does this mean?

273
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:12,913
A shepherd from the Urals
receives a sniper's rifle.

274
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:19,633
A 7.62 3.5 power telescope,
pride of precision of Soviet production.

275
00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:23,634
- l've seen that rifle close up.
- Have you?

276
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:25,552
l even touched it.

277
00:44:25,720 --> 00:44:27,711
l know him well, Vassili Zaitsev.

278
00:45:15,720 --> 00:45:18,280
Ludmilla and Anton were killed today.

279
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:21,197
And it was my fault.

280
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:22,713
l'm sure that's not true.

281
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:24,836
lt was a German sniper.

282
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:27,275
l walked them right into his trap.

283
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:31,031
- What else can you tell me?
- He didn't relocate.

284
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:35,830
A sniper who doesn't relocate isn't normal.

285
00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:38,759
He was very good.

286
00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:42,469
lt wasn't just his shooting,
it was his instinct.

287
00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:45,591
He was a step ahead of me.

288
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:49,312
That's because
he knows everything about you.

289
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:51,598
His name is Konig.

290
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:56,390
Major Konig.
They've sent him here to kill you.

291
00:45:57,800 --> 00:45:59,028
To find you.

292
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:09,039
We weren't sure
if the information was reliable.

293
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:11,839
He's come all the way
from Berlin to stop you.

294
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:15,151
You've caused him so many sleepless
nights, they've sent their top marksman.

295
00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:18,835
- What do we know about him?
- He's a major in the Wehrmacht.

296
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:23,153
He's director of their sniper school
in Zossen.

297
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:26,471
Koulikov studied at Zossen
before the war.

298
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:29,996
He know all his tricks.
From now on he'll go with you everywhere.

299
00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:34,071
A nobleman from Bavaria who hunts deer

300
00:46:34,240 --> 00:46:38,074
against the shepherd boy from the Urals
who poaches wolves.

301
00:46:38,240 --> 00:46:40,117
lt's more than a confrontation
between two nations.

302
00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:46,476
lt's the essence of class struggle.

303
00:46:47,720 --> 00:46:49,358
l'm glad you're so happy.

304
00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:53,517
He had all the advantages.
Next time you'll be even.

305
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:57,432
No one shoots like you, Vassili.

306
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:07,431
She's been transferred.

307
00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:12,393
l'll see if they're ready for you next door.

308
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:19,350
You look very smart in your new uniform.

309
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:24,111
Make sure they don't take it back
once you've finished.

310
00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:26,350
They probably will.

311
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:32,716
l've heard the rumour about the German.

312
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:36,316
- l wanted to wish you luck.
- Thank you. l'll need it.

313
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:40,869
From what comrade Danilov tells me
you're going to win.

314
00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:47,595
lt's time.

315
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:52,919
Vassili, come to my arms.

316
00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:00,317
Put your cap back on.
You look more heroic.

317
00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:01,549
This way, comrade Zaitsev.

318
00:48:01,720 --> 00:48:03,199
l love this little fellow.

319
00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:06,557
ls it true that you volunteered for the front?

320
00:48:06,720 --> 00:48:07,869
How old are you?

321
00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:10,110
Do you know what
this means for our country?

322
00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:12,635
ls it true you killed
your first wolf when you were five?

323
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:14,836
How many fascists have you killed today?

324
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:17,992
lt's a sign the Germans
are starting to shit their pants.

325
00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:21,118
Go on, tell us how you are going
to deal with him.

326
00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:24,511
Or rather, no...tell it to the boss.

327
00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:27,636
He likes good hunting stories.

328
00:48:33,640 --> 00:48:37,838
Look at him with pride...
because he's looking at you.

329
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:41,594
The whole country is looking at you.

330
00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:06,516
Forgive me, forgive me, Grandfather.

331
00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:42,756
So it's not the wolf that chooses
the hunting ground...but the hunter.

332
00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:49,558
And l'm sure your grandfather
taught you that.

333
00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:57,075
Except in this case, l'm the game.

334
00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:06,914
However, today what we're going to do
is lure the wolf out of his lair.

335
00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:08,832
To where we want him to be.

336
00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:50,477
You're the one whose life is valuable,
you go first.

337
00:50:50,640 --> 00:50:52,517
No. We take it in turns.

338
00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:54,830
Next time it's your turn to go first.

339
00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:56,997
Then it's you, Volodya.

340
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:13,831
Son of a bitch!

341
00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:22,750
These are new pants. l just took them
off a captain from the 251st yesterday.

342
00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:30,790
16 months l spent in Germany
at the school in Zossen.

343
00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:34,236
Of course those were the days
when we were friends with the Krauts.

344
00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:40,478
When our Joseph and their Adolf
were walking hand in hand.

345
00:51:43,080 --> 00:51:45,435
Near to the wire, 1 16 metres, right?

346
00:51:51,320 --> 00:51:53,675
- 1 55.
- Whatever.

347
00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:56,479
l don't make them send out a repair guy.

348
00:51:57,600 --> 00:51:59,352
Let's relocate.

349
00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:35,635
After the Germans invaded us,
it wasn't the same atmosphere anymore.

350
00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:39,512
They threw me in prison.

351
00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:42,710
''What were you doing in Germany?''

352
00:52:42,880 --> 00:52:46,793
''Excuse me'', says l, ''but it was comrade
Stalin who sent me there.''

353
00:52:47,720 --> 00:52:51,952
''Don't bring our glorious leader
into your treachery.

354
00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:55,317
''Confess, spy bastard, confess.''

355
00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:05,756
There wasn't a sickle
but there was a hammer.

356
00:53:05,920 --> 00:53:09,151
And ''bang'',
it knocked out all, my teeth.

357
00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:15,678
That's right.
Have no illusions.

358
00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:18,957
That's the land of socialism
and universal bliss for you.

359
00:53:22,760 --> 00:53:24,990
Hey, it's your repair guy.

360
00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:28,358
l got him.

361
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:46,754
- lt's about soup time, isn't it?
- l'm going.

362
00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:49,753
Well, get a move on, Volodya.

363
00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:53,549
And try not to spill it on your way back,
you Marxist bastard.

364
00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:10,630
Here's the enemy sniper activity
reported during the past 24 hours.

365
00:54:14,240 --> 00:54:16,390
Two sentries shot
in the train station.

366
00:54:16,560 --> 00:54:19,074
One artillery observer
in the northern sector.

367
00:54:19,240 --> 00:54:22,630
One lieutenant from
the 24th Panzer Division.

368
00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:26,236
Three telephone repair men
in the workers' housing sector.

369
00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:30,313
They also tell me we've just taken
a prisoner who may interest you.

370
00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:33,836
- l hope he's still able to speak.
- Excuse me, sir?

371
00:54:35,200 --> 00:54:36,269
Nothing.

372
00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:42,189
So tell us, Volodya.

373
00:54:42,360 --> 00:54:44,237
Which building is he in?

374
00:54:47,200 --> 00:54:48,758
There is no way l know that.

375
00:54:51,160 --> 00:54:53,071
He moves around all the time.

376
00:54:53,240 --> 00:54:55,993
He jumps...from one to the next.

377
00:54:56,160 --> 00:54:59,709
- On which floor?
- l don't know.

378
00:54:59,880 --> 00:55:02,155
We'll see about that.

379
00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:04,035
Undress him.

380
00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:07,676
Put him in one of our uniforms.

381
00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:37,759
See? They're stubborn.

382
00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:40,195
That's the good thing about the Germans.

383
00:55:41,400 --> 00:55:44,437
You got to admit,
when they get an idea in their heads,

384
00:56:02,080 --> 00:56:04,435
Let's see if our customer has arrived.

385
00:56:04,600 --> 00:56:05,555
You ready?

386
00:56:09,240 --> 00:56:12,676
And now, our famous shepherd
from the Urals,

387
00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:17,834
who Major Konig thinks is an idiot,
gets up to make sure he has hit his target.

388
00:56:18,760 --> 00:56:20,637
Major Konig sees him...

389
00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:26,196
...aims for his helmet,

390
00:56:27,040 --> 00:56:30,715
fires, reveals his position,

391
00:56:30,880 --> 00:56:32,438
and is shot in turn.

392
00:56:43,240 --> 00:56:46,949
Except...Major Konig doesn't fire,

393
00:56:50,880 --> 00:56:53,110
because, Major Konig isn't there.

394
00:57:04,560 --> 00:57:07,757
Don't you think that was strange?
That last one?

395
00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:11,071
They sent him out
to get shot like the others.

396
00:57:11,240 --> 00:57:12,719
lt's not natural.

397
00:57:12,880 --> 00:57:16,111
Not without artillery,
without trying to cover him.

398
00:57:18,200 --> 00:57:20,634
No, l was the one who was stupid.

399
00:57:21,640 --> 00:57:23,835
They don't give a shit
about telephone guys.

400
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:26,275
lt's like us with the Ukrainians.

401
00:57:26,440 --> 00:57:29,273
They'd never bother a major
over a few dead soldiers.

402
00:57:30,080 --> 00:57:33,470
Tomorrow...we'll kill us some generals.

403
00:57:42,600 --> 00:57:44,079
Whose turn is it?

404
00:57:45,520 --> 00:57:46,669
Mine, l think.

405
00:57:48,360 --> 00:57:50,396
You're such a cheater.

406
00:57:51,880 --> 00:57:57,238
You can't fool Papa Koulikov, oh no.
lt's my turn to go first.

407
00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:02,913
And it's your turn
to get a hole in your breeches.

408
00:59:16,040 --> 00:59:17,189
To victory.

409
00:59:25,120 --> 00:59:28,157
This sniper business
has been dragging on too long.

410
00:59:29,480 --> 00:59:31,118
What's that little fella of yours up to?

411
00:59:34,160 --> 00:59:36,390
He's probing, comrade Kruschev.

412
00:59:36,560 --> 00:59:40,599
He's testing the Germans for weaknesses.
He's meticulous in his preparation.

413
00:59:43,280 --> 00:59:46,636
Vodka...is a luxury we have.

414
00:59:48,160 --> 00:59:50,833
Caviar is a luxury we have.

415
00:59:51,240 --> 00:59:52,514
Time is not.

416
00:59:54,120 --> 00:59:56,793
He's aware of that, we both are.

417
00:59:59,240 --> 01:00:01,117
l assure you he will succeed.

418
01:00:01,280 --> 01:00:06,035
Good...
lt seems your destinies are entwined.

419
01:00:28,520 --> 01:00:30,397
Keeping you busy?

420
01:00:35,440 --> 01:00:39,149
l picked this up from the kitchen.
lt's from the reception the other day.

421
01:00:39,320 --> 01:00:41,595
Mrs Filipov might like it.

422
01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:45,150
She'll be thrilled.
lt's very sweet of you.

423
01:00:45,880 --> 01:00:50,396
- There's plenty more if you're hungry.
- You're Jewish aren't you?

424
01:00:51,880 --> 01:00:54,758
There's nothing in our religion
that says you can't eat sturgeon.

425
01:00:56,520 --> 01:00:59,239
My father had a premonition
all this would happen.

426
01:01:00,160 --> 01:01:02,310
You mean the war?

427
01:01:02,480 --> 01:01:05,631
He understood that
the hatred of the Jews ran deep.

428
01:01:06,280 --> 01:01:09,238
He was saving up
to buy some land in Palestine.

429
01:01:10,440 --> 01:01:14,433
He said it was the only land
that we truly belonged in.

430
01:01:14,600 --> 01:01:16,909
The only land we had a duty to defend.

431
01:01:18,360 --> 01:01:21,113
He insisted l learnt to use a rifle.

432
01:01:22,320 --> 01:01:24,311
l learnt to shoot.

433
01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:32,311
l know that in times of war
personal feelings should be put aside,

434
01:01:32,480 --> 01:01:34,710
but l have a favour to ask you.

435
01:01:34,880 --> 01:01:36,711
Of course.
Anything you want.

436
01:01:37,840 --> 01:01:40,035
l want to be reassigned.

437
01:01:42,520 --> 01:01:44,590
What's happened, Tania?

438
01:02:08,680 --> 01:02:10,193
He shot him.

439
01:02:14,120 --> 01:02:16,634
He shot him even though he jumped first.

440
01:02:18,400 --> 01:02:19,913
Shot him on the run.

441
01:02:20,880 --> 01:02:24,429
lt was an impossible shot.
l've never seen anything like it.

442
01:02:24,960 --> 01:02:27,520
You've promised people
a victory l can't deliver.

443
01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:32,639
l don't stand a chance against this man.

444
01:02:32,800 --> 01:02:34,836
You mustn't talk like that, Vassili.

445
01:02:36,320 --> 01:02:39,596
What if l told you
we'd found a way to track his moves?

446
01:02:39,760 --> 01:02:41,990
We've got someone, Vassili.

447
01:02:42,160 --> 01:02:44,958
Someone close to him
passing us information.

448
01:02:45,120 --> 01:02:47,759
Next time you will be
one step ahead of him.

449
01:02:50,040 --> 01:02:51,598
l promise.

450
01:03:01,360 --> 01:03:03,396
Now l have a favour to ask.

451
01:03:04,440 --> 01:03:05,998
From me?

452
01:03:09,080 --> 01:03:11,071
lt's about Tania.

453
01:03:16,080 --> 01:03:17,957
Come in.

454
01:03:22,840 --> 01:03:28,039
He doesn't know you, but at that moment
you're closer to him than anyone on earth.

455
01:03:28,200 --> 01:03:31,158
You see his face through the sign.

456
01:03:31,320 --> 01:03:33,470
You see whether he shaved or not.

457
01:03:33,640 --> 01:03:36,837
You can see whether he's married
if he's got a wedding ring.

458
01:03:39,760 --> 01:03:43,594
lt's not like firing at a distant shape.

459
01:03:43,760 --> 01:03:47,196
lt's not just a uniform.
lt's a man's face.

460
01:03:47,960 --> 01:03:49,951
Those faces don't go away.

461
01:03:51,600 --> 01:03:55,309
They come back
and they get replaced by more faces.

462
01:03:56,640 --> 01:03:59,074
Did Danilov ask you to tell me this?

463
01:03:59,760 --> 01:04:03,275
He likes you very much. l think he'd try
anything to change your mind.

464
01:04:03,440 --> 01:04:06,000
Did he tell you why
l asked for the transfer?

465
01:04:07,800 --> 01:04:09,950
This morning a list arrived at headquarters.

466
01:04:10,960 --> 01:04:14,236
lt was a list of civilians
who'd been rounded up

467
01:04:14,400 --> 01:04:17,756
and sent to Germany in a convoy
that left Stalingrad three weeks ago.

468
01:04:20,360 --> 01:04:22,635
My parents were amongst them.

469
01:04:24,600 --> 01:04:27,797
After 30 kilometres...

470
01:04:27,960 --> 01:04:32,351
the German soldiers stopped the train
and forced everyone out.

471
01:04:34,520 --> 01:04:38,718
ln the middle of a bridge,
they bound them together,

472
01:04:38,880 --> 01:04:40,677
two by two.

473
01:04:41,720 --> 01:04:44,029
Mothers with daughters

474
01:04:44,200 --> 01:04:46,316
Husbands and wives.

475
01:04:47,880 --> 01:04:51,031
They lined them up against the railing.

476
01:04:52,080 --> 01:04:55,117
Then they fired
a single shot at each pair,

477
01:04:55,280 --> 01:04:57,157
to save bullets.

478
01:04:58,360 --> 01:04:59,839
lt worked.

479
01:05:01,000 --> 01:05:05,198
The bodies of the ones who died
dragged the others under the water.

480
01:05:08,720 --> 01:05:10,676
l know they died together.

481
01:05:12,000 --> 01:05:14,355
They would never have let themselves
be separated.

482
01:05:29,160 --> 01:05:32,311
That's Koulikov's rifle.
lt's a good rifle.

483
01:06:11,720 --> 01:06:15,838
l know how he leaves the shelter.
He goes through the tractor factory.

484
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:18,275
The tractor factory is big.

485
01:06:21,960 --> 01:06:23,234
l know exactly where.

486
01:06:23,400 --> 01:06:26,836
He crawls through a gutter
under a grate where the vats are.

487
01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:29,036
Then he goes out from the workshop.

488
01:06:30,080 --> 01:06:32,150
ln between the two
there's a place where he's in the open.

489
01:06:32,320 --> 01:06:34,436
lt's under a long iron foot walk.

490
01:07:08,000 --> 01:07:09,274
Good luck, comrade.

491
01:08:50,640 --> 01:08:53,108
l know exactly where he's waiting for me.

492
01:08:56,320 --> 01:08:58,550
He'll be on the foot walk over the gutter.

493
01:08:58,720 --> 01:09:00,950
We'll take him out from behind.

494
01:09:20,600 --> 01:09:24,513
We'll get to the other end of the workshop
through these pipes.

495
01:09:25,680 --> 01:09:26,829
Follow me.

496
01:11:09,000 --> 01:11:11,434
You go that way.
l'll go this way.

497
01:11:29,800 --> 01:11:30,994
Shit!

498
01:11:38,600 --> 01:11:41,512
- lt's OK.
- You should go back.

499
01:11:42,080 --> 01:11:44,674
No, l'll be all right.

500
01:11:44,840 --> 01:11:47,035
No, you go!

501
01:11:51,600 --> 01:11:53,670
Keep your legs in.

502
01:12:34,680 --> 01:12:36,750
Come on.

503
01:13:35,480 --> 01:13:38,552
Comrade Stalin is asking
for one last effort.

504
01:13:38,720 --> 01:13:40,870
The fate of the motherland is at risk.

505
01:13:41,040 --> 01:13:45,477
The fate of all those you love and cherish.
lt's for them that we fight today.

506
01:13:47,360 --> 01:13:50,432
Listen to me, Tania. The Germans
are throwing everything at us.

507
01:13:51,520 --> 01:13:53,954
lf they're lucky, one in ten of these
soldiers will come back alive.

508
01:13:54,120 --> 01:13:56,918
You're highly educated.
You know languages.

509
01:13:57,080 --> 01:14:00,197
Every intercept you translate
saves hundreds of lives.

510
01:14:00,360 --> 01:14:04,194
Every message you decode
kills thousands of theirs.

511
01:14:04,360 --> 01:14:06,078
You have a duty to survive.

512
01:14:06,240 --> 01:14:08,595
Vassili was born to fire a gun.
That's what he knows.

513
01:14:08,760 --> 01:14:11,593
You and l were born
for a different purpose.

514
01:14:12,880 --> 01:14:14,996
lf Vassili were here,
he'd tell you the same thing.

515
01:14:18,840 --> 01:14:21,115
Where is he? Where's Vassili?

516
01:15:26,240 --> 01:15:27,593
Keep your head down.

517
01:15:27,760 --> 01:15:30,194
- Tell me where he is.
- Stay into that pipe.

518
01:15:30,360 --> 01:15:32,191
Stay in. Get your head in.

519
01:15:39,840 --> 01:15:41,273
Slow down.

520
01:15:42,320 --> 01:15:43,719
Don't shoot.

521
01:15:49,600 --> 01:15:51,192
He's over there.

522
01:16:03,240 --> 01:16:06,949
You see the pillar in front of you?

523
01:16:08,200 --> 01:16:10,191
l need you to move round behind it.

524
01:16:19,760 --> 01:16:21,239
Go!

525
01:16:23,240 --> 01:16:28,314
Tania, l need you to find
a large piece of glass.

526
01:16:29,160 --> 01:16:30,832
Piece of glass.

527
01:16:33,960 --> 01:16:36,315
You see the kiln?

528
01:16:37,080 --> 01:16:38,479
Behind me.

529
01:16:38,640 --> 01:16:40,517
To the left of the factory.

530
01:16:43,560 --> 01:16:45,516
- l can't hear you.
- Yes.

531
01:16:47,840 --> 01:16:52,118
Do you see the two louvres?

532
01:16:54,760 --> 01:16:58,309
Do you see the one with the broken slat?

533
01:16:59,840 --> 01:17:03,389
- Yes.
- This is what l want you to do.

534
01:17:10,600 --> 01:17:12,716
- Are you ready?
- Yes.

535
01:17:13,640 --> 01:17:16,438
Three...two...one.

536
01:17:35,120 --> 01:17:36,269
Hello, Sacha.

537
01:17:43,600 --> 01:17:45,477
He was right where you said he'd be.

538
01:17:46,800 --> 01:17:47,949
Nearly there.

539
01:17:52,240 --> 01:17:53,389
He's very clever.

540
01:17:58,800 --> 01:18:00,358
Tell me about him.

541
01:18:06,800 --> 01:18:10,952
Why was it his grandfather who taught him
how to shoot and not his father?

542
01:18:11,520 --> 01:18:13,875
His father's dead. His mother too.

543
01:18:17,880 --> 01:18:21,839
- Does he talk about his father?
- No, he didn't know him.

544
01:18:24,240 --> 01:18:25,798
Did he go to school?

545
01:18:25,960 --> 01:18:29,270
He knows how to write.
He answers lots of letters.

546
01:18:31,120 --> 01:18:34,078
- ls it girls who write to him?
- Everyone writes to him.

547
01:18:35,200 --> 01:18:38,556
- ls there a girl he loves in his village?
- Not in his village. Here!

548
01:18:38,720 --> 01:18:40,950
Does she love him?

549
01:18:41,120 --> 01:18:44,351
Yes. Because he's handsome and brave.

550
01:18:45,280 --> 01:18:49,114
And she's very beautiful.
She's from my neighbourhood.

551
01:18:49,280 --> 01:18:52,590
She went to the university.
They are handsome together.

552
01:18:52,760 --> 01:18:54,079
Later the two of them will get married.

553
01:19:00,280 --> 01:19:02,157
At least, l think so.

554
01:19:04,080 --> 01:19:08,631
And you, Sacha,
why are you helping the Germans?

555
01:19:12,840 --> 01:19:15,752
Because they're stronger.
Because they're going to win the war.

556
01:19:16,520 --> 01:19:18,351
And because you like chocolate.

557
01:19:35,200 --> 01:19:37,760
All these people here
know they're gonna die.

558
01:19:37,920 --> 01:19:42,072
So each night when they make
it back, it's a bonus.

559
01:19:43,880 --> 01:19:45,313
Excuse me!

560
01:19:46,600 --> 01:19:49,910
So every cup of tea, every cigarette...

561
01:19:52,000 --> 01:19:53,592
becomes a little celebration.

562
01:19:53,760 --> 01:19:56,479
Because for a lot of us,
it may be our last night.

563
01:19:58,320 --> 01:20:01,551
lt's just something
you have to accept here.

564
01:20:02,600 --> 01:20:03,794
Everyone has their time.

565
01:20:08,200 --> 01:20:11,954
ln the forest the wolf lives for three years...

566
01:20:12,840 --> 01:20:14,432
the donkey for nine.

567
01:20:17,680 --> 01:20:20,752
Sorry, but that's got to be
a proverb from the Urals.

568
01:20:20,920 --> 01:20:22,990
lt makes no sense to me whatsoever!

569
01:20:23,160 --> 01:20:26,232
The donkey lives longer
because he's more useful.

570
01:20:27,160 --> 01:20:28,195
Absolute sense!

571
01:20:28,360 --> 01:20:32,194
There aren't any donkeys in the forest.
You made it up.

572
01:20:36,600 --> 01:20:38,272
l'm a donkey.

573
01:20:40,880 --> 01:20:45,874
People like you and Danilov...
have to survive this.

574
01:20:46,040 --> 01:20:49,715
People who've read books,
had an education...

575
01:20:50,960 --> 01:20:53,110
We'll need you when the war's over.

576
01:20:53,280 --> 01:20:55,669
And if you survive?

577
01:20:55,840 --> 01:20:59,310
What will the useless
Vassili Zaitsev do then?

578
01:20:59,480 --> 01:21:01,436
l want to work in a factory.

579
01:21:03,160 --> 01:21:06,152
My granddad took me to a factory once.

580
01:21:07,720 --> 01:21:10,109
There was this man there.

581
01:21:10,280 --> 01:21:13,113
High up on a foot walk.

582
01:21:14,520 --> 01:21:16,750
He wasn't wearing blue like the others.

583
01:21:17,640 --> 01:21:21,838
The people who were supervising didn't
really understand what they were doing.

584
01:21:22,000 --> 01:21:25,151
But for him up there, it was simple.
lt was clear.

585
01:21:26,600 --> 01:21:28,192
And l thought, one day...

586
01:21:29,920 --> 01:21:31,831
l could be that man.

587
01:21:37,040 --> 01:21:40,237
Sad to have a dream
you know won't happen.

588
01:21:42,080 --> 01:21:44,036
Why shouldn't it?

589
01:21:46,280 --> 01:21:48,271
You'll outlive us all.

590
01:21:50,120 --> 01:21:52,759
You'll be the oldest donkey in the forest.

591
01:22:09,200 --> 01:22:11,919
1 50 metres stand between
the Germans and the Volga.

592
01:22:12,080 --> 01:22:14,071
Today the whole world is watching
these 1 50 metres.

593
01:22:14,240 --> 01:22:17,710
They are what make Stalingrad
the capital...

594
01:22:19,320 --> 01:22:21,311
...of the war.

595
01:22:26,160 --> 01:22:27,673
Your friend, Tania.

596
01:22:29,760 --> 01:22:33,594
- Have you seen her?
- She stays there with the snipers.

597
01:22:36,000 --> 01:22:39,834
Tell the major our sharpshooters
will support the attack on the factory.

598
01:22:43,440 --> 01:22:44,759
Vassili will be there.

599
01:26:26,840 --> 01:26:29,434
- l need to talk to you.
- Sure.

600
01:26:47,520 --> 01:26:50,114
You have to stop writing about me.

601
01:26:53,560 --> 01:26:55,551
l won't get him cos l'm not good enough.

602
01:26:55,720 --> 01:26:59,269
Sooner or later he's gonna find me,
he's gonna kill me.

603
01:26:59,440 --> 01:27:01,954
l've warned you before not to talk like this.

604
01:27:04,160 --> 01:27:05,673
This time it's different.

605
01:27:08,480 --> 01:27:13,508
You've built me up and up
into someone l'm not.

606
01:27:15,760 --> 01:27:18,752
l can't carry that weight anymore.
l want to fight.

607
01:27:19,880 --> 01:27:23,190
l want to fight, just as a regular soldier.

608
01:27:24,160 --> 01:27:25,388
l understand.

609
01:27:25,560 --> 01:27:29,758
The thing is Vassili you're not a regular
soldier, you're an extraordinary soldier.

610
01:27:29,920 --> 01:27:32,036
No. l'm what you've made me.

611
01:27:33,680 --> 01:27:35,432
Nothing more.

612
01:27:40,200 --> 01:27:42,589
Why are you telling me this now?

613
01:27:42,760 --> 01:27:44,751
What's happened?

614
01:27:49,040 --> 01:27:50,268
What's changed?

615
01:27:55,080 --> 01:27:57,150
Did you speak to Tania for me?

616
01:28:01,080 --> 01:28:03,275
Well, will she reconsider?

617
01:28:06,960 --> 01:28:07,949
l don't know.

618
01:28:11,520 --> 01:28:15,513
She should.
She'll be much safer. You know that.

619
01:28:16,120 --> 01:28:18,793
lt'll be easier to get her reassigned
than you.

620
01:28:18,960 --> 01:28:21,679
The Germans are preparing another
offensive in the city centre.

621
01:28:21,840 --> 01:28:24,991
The propaganda battle's crucial for morale.
We need you more than ever.

622
01:28:31,520 --> 01:28:33,909
Tell him what you know, Sacha.

623
01:28:34,080 --> 01:28:36,355
There was dust on the major's boots.

624
01:28:36,520 --> 01:28:39,273
Sacha has the major convinced
he's gone over to the other side.

625
01:28:40,720 --> 01:28:44,918
- You know the risks he's taking.
- The dust was yellow.

626
01:28:45,080 --> 01:28:46,718
There's only one place
where there's dust like that.

627
01:28:46,880 --> 01:28:50,634
ln the back of the chemical factory,
a big heap along the tracks.

628
01:28:52,560 --> 01:28:53,754
Well done.

629
01:28:56,680 --> 01:28:58,989
Sacha, wait for me outside then.

630
01:29:07,800 --> 01:29:10,997
You had no right to use him.

631
01:29:12,160 --> 01:29:16,756
No, l didn't use him, Vassili,
he did it of his own accord.

632
01:29:16,920 --> 01:29:21,072
Do you know why?
Because he believes in you.

633
01:29:28,720 --> 01:29:32,156
Tomorrow morning we going take back
the chemical factory.

634
01:29:32,320 --> 01:29:34,834
Sacha has informed the major
you'll be there.

635
01:29:35,800 --> 01:29:37,916
So now you know
where you have to wait for him.

636
01:29:38,080 --> 01:29:40,878
-ln the middle of an assault.
- l'm following orders.

637
01:29:41,280 --> 01:29:43,271
l suggest you do the same.

638
01:29:45,040 --> 01:29:48,669
Now, l'm aware of the risks.
You'll be fine...

639
01:29:54,840 --> 01:29:55,795
...comrade.

640
01:30:21,760 --> 01:30:25,070
That's the Germans up there.
Yesterday it was the Russians.

641
01:30:25,240 --> 01:30:27,549
We're not very far now.

642
01:30:31,880 --> 01:30:33,996
You're playing a very dangerous game.

643
01:30:35,840 --> 01:30:37,512
l want you to win.

644
01:30:38,920 --> 01:30:41,753
See there?
Keep going along the river.

645
01:30:41,920 --> 01:30:44,195
lt's safe for a while.

646
01:35:11,920 --> 01:35:15,595
He's dead.
We found this on his corpse.

647
01:35:18,640 --> 01:35:21,438
Your reason
for being here ceases to exist.

648
01:35:22,320 --> 01:35:23,992
Pardon me, Herr General.

649
01:35:25,440 --> 01:35:26,668
l do not believe...

650
01:35:26,840 --> 01:35:30,355
There's a plane bound for Berlin
tomorrow evening. You will be on it.

651
01:35:34,400 --> 01:35:37,392
Until then l must ask you for your dogtags.

652
01:35:39,680 --> 01:35:42,797
lmagine how Russian propaganda
would profit from your death.

653
01:35:42,960 --> 01:35:45,349
lf you fall, you will fall unknown.

654
01:35:45,520 --> 01:35:48,239
You've already had a near miss.

655
01:35:56,360 --> 01:35:58,715
Also, please take this war merit cross.

656
01:35:58,880 --> 01:36:02,668
lt was awarded posthumously to
a Lieutenant of the 1 16th lnfantry Division,

657
01:36:02,840 --> 01:36:05,718
who fell here during the first days
of the battle.

658
01:36:07,680 --> 01:36:09,716
He was my son.

659
01:36:11,840 --> 01:36:14,718
lf the landing is captured everything's lost.

660
01:36:17,000 --> 01:36:18,592
Come here.

661
01:36:22,280 --> 01:36:23,759
What did l tell you?

662
01:36:23,920 --> 01:36:26,388
You've been playing your fiddle too much.

663
01:36:26,560 --> 01:36:29,074
lf it's confirmed that he's dead, we're sunk.

664
01:36:30,240 --> 01:36:32,708
- Well, you're sunk.
- lt isn't true.

665
01:36:32,880 --> 01:36:35,440
lt was intercepted
from their staff headquarters.

666
01:36:35,600 --> 01:36:38,956
What do they have to do?
Dangle his body in front of our men?

667
01:36:39,120 --> 01:36:40,314
They're lying.

668
01:36:41,520 --> 01:36:43,158
That's good.

669
01:36:43,320 --> 01:36:45,550
Very good.

670
01:36:45,720 --> 01:36:49,030
Write it then. Vassili Zaitsev is not dead!

671
01:36:49,200 --> 01:36:51,475
This is what he had for breakfast
this morning.

672
01:36:51,640 --> 01:36:54,393
This is a picture of him
reading today's newspaper.

673
01:36:54,560 --> 01:36:55,709
You're the poet.

674
01:36:56,480 --> 01:36:59,517
What? You won't give up the riverbank.

675
01:37:00,640 --> 01:37:03,108
l don't care of you've lost half you're men.

676
01:37:03,280 --> 01:37:06,158
Lose the other half or lose yourself!

677
01:37:11,960 --> 01:37:13,188
ls he back?

678
01:37:16,720 --> 01:37:18,073
He should be back soon.

679
01:37:19,480 --> 01:37:22,597
The German attack cut the lines,
that's why he's late.

680
01:37:25,800 --> 01:37:27,028
Can we go outside?

681
01:37:33,680 --> 01:37:35,557
l wrote to my mother about you.

682
01:37:36,440 --> 01:37:38,795
She wanted me to tell you,
once this war's over,

683
01:37:38,960 --> 01:37:42,635
if there's anything you needed,
our family will be there for you.

684
01:37:45,280 --> 01:37:47,236
You know l'm here for you.

685
01:37:51,920 --> 01:37:53,831
They're saying Vassili is dead.

686
01:37:54,000 --> 01:37:57,356
Vassili Zaitsev will never see
his loved ones again.

687
01:37:58,120 --> 01:38:00,395
Surrender.
This is your only future.

688
01:38:05,640 --> 01:38:06,789
You're upset?

689
01:38:08,680 --> 01:38:09,999
Because Zaitsev is dead?

690
01:38:12,920 --> 01:38:16,629
You don't have to hide it.
There's no shame in it.

691
01:38:16,800 --> 01:38:18,791
You're Russian like he is.

692
01:38:21,800 --> 01:38:23,597
Don't listen to them.

693
01:38:24,240 --> 01:38:27,869
lt's just a propaganda.
He isn't dead.

694
01:38:30,040 --> 01:38:31,996
And do you know why?

695
01:38:33,320 --> 01:38:35,072
Because l haven't killed him yet.

696
01:38:42,640 --> 01:38:44,995
l'm going to tell you a secret.

697
01:38:45,160 --> 01:38:47,549
Only you, because l know l can trust you.

698
01:38:48,760 --> 01:38:51,513
But you must swear
you won't tell another soul.

699
01:38:54,240 --> 01:38:55,195
Do you swear?

700
01:38:57,240 --> 01:38:59,151
l found a terrific spot.

701
01:39:00,000 --> 01:39:02,389
lt's by the exit from the train station.

702
01:39:02,960 --> 01:39:04,996
l'll hide in the water tower.

703
01:39:05,440 --> 01:39:07,635
Tomorrow l'll wait for him there.

704
01:39:09,280 --> 01:39:12,158
You'll see. He'll be there.

705
01:39:13,560 --> 01:39:15,596
He always is.

706
01:39:24,880 --> 01:39:27,713
l also want you to swear
you'll stay home where you belong.

707
01:39:30,040 --> 01:39:31,792
Do you swear?

708
01:39:39,400 --> 01:39:41,391
We know he's alive and won't fail us,

709
01:39:41,560 --> 01:39:44,472
because he is a part of us now.
Vassili is eternal.

710
01:39:47,440 --> 01:39:50,830
Where have you been?
We've looked everywhere for you.

711
01:39:51,000 --> 01:39:54,276
Didn't you hear? l was dead.

712
01:39:54,440 --> 01:39:58,194
At least...noble sniper Zaitsev...

713
01:40:00,360 --> 01:40:01,998
...Vassili was dead.

714
01:40:03,200 --> 01:40:04,872
The real one.

715
01:40:07,360 --> 01:40:08,679
Me.

716
01:40:10,360 --> 01:40:13,989
l was asleep.
And l missed my chance.

717
01:40:14,160 --> 01:40:17,357
Then l was curled up in a corner hiding,

718
01:40:19,160 --> 01:40:21,310
from a man who wants to kill me.

719
01:40:21,480 --> 01:40:23,072
l'll talk to Kruschev.

720
01:40:24,240 --> 01:40:26,549
He'll send you back to your old division.

721
01:40:27,240 --> 01:40:28,639
Where's Tania?

722
01:40:28,800 --> 01:40:30,358
She's at the shelter.

723
01:40:30,520 --> 01:40:34,354
- l've been to the shelter.
- l told her you weren't dead.

724
01:40:36,800 --> 01:40:39,792
The major said so,
that the other Germans were lying.

725
01:40:40,720 --> 01:40:43,871
He told me you were waiting for him
at the station.

726
01:41:19,840 --> 01:41:21,910
My little Sacha.

727
01:41:22,920 --> 01:41:23,875
l knew it.

728
01:41:50,400 --> 01:41:52,470
l knew you weren't dead.

729
01:41:53,880 --> 01:41:56,917
- How?
- Because we've only just met.

730
01:42:01,360 --> 01:42:05,239
l prayed for the first time
since l was a little girl.

731
01:42:06,600 --> 01:42:11,276
When l opened my eyes, Sacha was
there waiting to give me the good news.

732
01:42:14,760 --> 01:42:17,911
l think he loves you even more than l do.

733
01:42:40,760 --> 01:42:43,228
To the proper military authority.

734
01:42:43,400 --> 01:42:45,197
l'm calling to the commander's attention

735
01:42:45,360 --> 01:42:49,751
recent changes noted in attitude towards
fighting of soldier, Vassili Zaitsev.

736
01:42:50,560 --> 01:42:53,836
He has attempted on several occasions
to escape his duties,

737
01:42:54,000 --> 01:42:58,039
voiced doubts on our chances of victory
and made defeatist comments in public.

738
01:42:59,640 --> 01:43:03,758
The inexplicable duration of his duel
with the Nazi sharpshooter

739
01:43:03,920 --> 01:43:09,597
can only be explained
by his lack of belief in the Communist ideal.

740
01:43:17,400 --> 01:43:18,833
Good morning, Sacha.

741
01:43:21,480 --> 01:43:24,074
Once again, he knew exactly
where to find me.

742
01:43:24,960 --> 01:43:26,678
Don't you think that's strange?

743
01:43:28,280 --> 01:43:30,475
Apart from me, only you knew.

744
01:43:32,480 --> 01:43:34,755
l don't hold it against you, Sacha.

745
01:43:34,920 --> 01:43:36,876
You've done a very brave thing.

746
01:43:38,160 --> 01:43:40,469
You've chosen your camp.
l respect that.

747
01:43:40,640 --> 01:43:42,631
But it isn't my camp.

748
01:43:42,800 --> 01:43:44,791
We're both soldiers.

749
01:43:45,800 --> 01:43:49,554
We're both enemies.
So l know you understand.

750
01:43:50,480 --> 01:43:54,678
l'm annoyed with you for not staying
at home as l'd made you swear.

751
01:43:55,880 --> 01:43:59,873
l'm annoyed with you for obliging me
to do what l'll have to do.

752
01:44:04,240 --> 01:44:07,630
l've never seen anyone frown
so much in their sleep.

753
01:44:11,120 --> 01:44:13,475
How long have you been watching me?

754
01:44:13,640 --> 01:44:15,278
All night.

755
01:44:16,120 --> 01:44:18,873
You've been snoring away happily
for hours.

756
01:44:19,040 --> 01:44:20,951
l don't snore, do l?

757
01:44:21,880 --> 01:44:23,233
Like a pig!

758
01:44:23,400 --> 01:44:25,789
l suppose l talk in my sleep as well?

759
01:44:29,960 --> 01:44:32,030
There's something l should tell you.

760
01:44:39,360 --> 01:44:40,475
On the train...

761
01:44:42,120 --> 01:44:43,758
...coming here...

762
01:44:46,040 --> 01:44:47,553
...we were in the same car.

763
01:44:49,520 --> 01:44:50,748
l saw you.

764
01:44:51,960 --> 01:44:54,758
You were reading and you fell asleep.

765
01:44:57,800 --> 01:45:00,792
l didn't dare look at you,
you were so beautiful.

766
01:45:02,880 --> 01:45:04,632
You were scary.

767
01:45:07,360 --> 01:45:10,033
Afterwards, l couldn't stop thinking
about you.

768
01:45:11,400 --> 01:45:13,356
lt made me smile.

769
01:45:14,520 --> 01:45:18,399
Then l thought of all the men
who would get to hold you -

770
01:45:21,200 --> 01:45:22,553
who'd make you laugh -

771
01:45:25,320 --> 01:45:27,117
how lucky they were.

772
01:45:30,800 --> 01:45:33,598
And now l'm the one lying next to you.

773
01:45:36,160 --> 01:45:38,674
- Was l snoring?
- Like a pig.

774
01:46:15,280 --> 01:46:17,077
Oh my God!

775
01:46:18,760 --> 01:46:20,159
Tania, no.

776
01:46:20,320 --> 01:46:22,072
No, get off me.

777
01:46:22,240 --> 01:46:24,800
- Get off me.
- lt's what he wants.

778
01:46:24,960 --> 01:46:26,837
This is what he wants.

779
01:46:27,000 --> 01:46:28,672
He'll kill you.

780
01:46:28,840 --> 01:46:32,799
He'll kill you, then he'll kill me too.

781
01:46:32,960 --> 01:46:37,078
This is what he wants. l'll get him.
l promise l'll get him.

782
01:46:38,760 --> 01:46:41,672
l'll get his rifle for you, l promise Tania.

783
01:47:01,480 --> 01:47:03,118
l need you.

784
01:47:06,400 --> 01:47:09,198
You have to leave now, Mrs Filipov.
Stalingrad may fall.

785
01:47:09,360 --> 01:47:12,193
The last boats are leaving.
The Germans will be here any moment.

786
01:47:12,360 --> 01:47:14,999
He's brought you a pass.
You'll be safe on the other side.

787
01:47:15,160 --> 01:47:17,833
Gather your things
and we'll help you to the landing stage.

788
01:47:18,000 --> 01:47:21,310
l'm not leaving. This is my home.

789
01:47:21,480 --> 01:47:24,392
This is my Sacha's home.
l can't leave.

790
01:47:24,560 --> 01:47:26,596
l must tell you something, Mrs Filipov.

791
01:47:29,400 --> 01:47:31,470
Something very difficult to understand.

792
01:47:32,720 --> 01:47:33,869
lt's about Sacha.

793
01:47:48,160 --> 01:47:52,711
He's gone over to the Germans.
He won't be coming back.

794
01:47:55,720 --> 01:47:57,119
Oh my God.

795
01:48:01,160 --> 01:48:02,593
Oh my God.

796
01:48:04,920 --> 01:48:06,831
He's become a traitor.

797
01:48:08,600 --> 01:48:10,716
The poor little thing.

798
01:48:11,520 --> 01:48:13,590
What has he done?

799
01:48:16,640 --> 01:48:19,234
So he's going to stay over there?

800
01:48:23,720 --> 01:48:26,951
Yes. He's going to stay over there.

801
01:48:29,440 --> 01:48:31,670
l shouldn't be saying this,
comrade Commissar,

802
01:48:31,840 --> 01:48:33,637
but maybe it's for the best.

803
01:48:34,920 --> 01:48:37,070
lf the Germans have won, he'll be safe.

804
01:48:37,240 --> 01:48:40,710
l know it's wrong,
but perhaps he's made the right choice.

805
01:49:25,360 --> 01:49:28,636
l need a doctor. A doctor!

806
01:49:33,800 --> 01:49:37,634
l have a pass.
You must let her cross.

807
01:49:41,360 --> 01:49:42,315
Please.

808
01:49:42,480 --> 01:49:44,994
lt's useless. She'll never make it.

809
01:49:45,160 --> 01:49:48,197
No, she will. She's my daughter.

810
01:49:48,360 --> 01:49:50,635
She's my daughter, l beg of you.

811
01:49:50,800 --> 01:49:54,509
All right, you too.
Put this one on the boat.

812
01:50:41,200 --> 01:50:44,431
Where is he? Where's the major?

813
01:50:44,600 --> 01:50:46,670
A few inches from your face.

814
01:50:49,560 --> 01:50:52,154
l've been such a fool, Vassili.

815
01:50:53,680 --> 01:50:55,796
Man will always be man.

816
01:50:56,680 --> 01:50:58,636
There is no new man.

817
01:51:00,000 --> 01:51:03,117
We tried so hard to create a society
that was equal,

818
01:51:03,280 --> 01:51:05,396
where there'd be nothing
to envy your neighbour.

819
01:51:07,120 --> 01:51:09,429
But there's always something to envy.

820
01:51:10,960 --> 01:51:14,111
A smile...a friendship.

821
01:51:16,240 --> 01:51:19,152
Something you don't have
and want to appropriate.

822
01:51:20,200 --> 01:51:23,272
ln this world, even a Soviet one,

823
01:51:24,480 --> 01:51:26,675
there will always be rich and poor.

824
01:51:28,480 --> 01:51:30,232
Rich in gifts.

825
01:51:31,800 --> 01:51:33,518
Poor in gifts.

826
01:51:34,680 --> 01:51:36,477
Rich in love.

827
01:51:38,000 --> 01:51:39,228
Poor in love.

828
01:51:45,600 --> 01:51:47,955
Tania isn't coming back.

829
01:51:49,600 --> 01:51:51,989
She's dead, Vassili.

830
01:51:59,920 --> 01:52:02,115
She was cut down by shrapnel.

831
01:52:02,280 --> 01:52:05,556
lt was quick.
l don't think she even saw it coming.

832
01:52:07,600 --> 01:52:09,238
She was on her way back to you,

833
01:52:09,400 --> 01:52:12,198
as soon as she had seen Mrs Filipov
to the boat.

834
01:52:12,960 --> 01:52:16,350
She was coming back for you.
She was right.

835
01:52:17,120 --> 01:52:18,838
You're a good man, Vassili.

836
01:52:23,160 --> 01:52:25,196
l want to help you Vassili.

837
01:52:25,760 --> 01:52:27,910
Let me do one last thing.

838
01:52:28,080 --> 01:52:30,389
Something useful for a change.

839
01:52:36,360 --> 01:52:39,318
- Let me show you where the major is.
- No, don't do that.

840
01:52:39,480 --> 01:52:40,629
Don't do that!

841
01:56:44,640 --> 01:56:49,475
Today, February
3rd, 1 943, is an ominous day for Hitler

842
01:56:49,640 --> 01:56:53,519
and the endless columns
of thousands of German prisoners

843
01:56:53,680 --> 01:56:57,389
lt is an unforgettable day of hope
for our motherland,

844
01:56:57,560 --> 01:56:59,755
for the people of the Soviet Union.

845
01:57:10,480 --> 01:57:15,679
After 1 80 days of growing combat
in the martyred city of Stalingrad,

846
01:57:15,840 --> 01:57:20,277
and as a result of the valour
and self sacrifice of our soldiers

847
01:57:20,440 --> 01:57:23,955
the commander of our glorious Red Army

848
01:57:24,120 --> 01:57:29,274
received the unconditional surrender
of the German fascist invasion.

849
01:57:45,440 --> 01:57:48,000
l cannot find the matching name
in the book.

850
01:57:48,560 --> 01:57:50,994
This is this hospital's address
and this is her name.

851
01:57:51,160 --> 01:57:55,597
- This is our address, but she's not here.
- We don't have her anymore.

852
01:57:55,760 --> 01:58:01,039
This is the address of this place and she's
obviously been here. She wrote to me.

853
01:58:01,200 --> 01:58:06,194
Believe me. There is no Tania Chernova.
l can't help you.

854
02:05:43,000 --> 02:05:43,955
