Enemy at the Gates Page #5
Vassili.
He did it of his own accord.
You know why?
Because he believes in you!
Tomorrow morning, we're going
to take back the chemical factory.
Sacha's informed the major
you'll be there,
so now you know where
you have to wait for him.
- In the middle of an assault.
- I'm following orders.
I suggest you do the same.
Now, I'm aware
of the risks.
You'll be fine.
Comrade.
That's the Germans
up there.
And yesterday
was the Russians.
We're not very far now.
Sacha...
you're playing
a very dangerous game.
I want you to win.
See there?
It's safe... for a while.
He's dead.
We found this on his corpse.
has ceased to exist.
Pardon me, Herr General,
but I do not believe...
There is a plane bound for Berlin
tomorrow evening.
You will be on it.
Until then, I must ask you
for your dog tags.
Imagine how Russian propaganda
would profit from your death.
If you fall,
you will fall unknown.
You've already had
a near miss.
Also please take
this War Merit Cross.
It was awarded post humously...
to a lieutenant of the 116th
Infantry Division...
who fell here during the first days
of the battle.
who fell here during the first days
of the battle.
He was my son.
If the landing is captured,
everything's lost!
Come here.
What did I tell you?
You've been playing
your fiddle too much!
If it's confirmed
that he's dead, we're sunk!
- Well, you resunk.
- It isn't true.
It was intercepted
from their staff headquarters.
What do they have to do,
dangle his body in front our our men?
They're lying.
That's good.
Very good.
Write it, then.
"Vassili Zaitsev is not dead.
"This is what he had
for breakfast this morning.
This is a picture of him reading
today's newspaper." You're the poet.
- What?
You won't give up
the river bank!
I don't care if you've lost
half your men!
Lose the other half,
or lose yourself!
Is he back?
He should be back soon.
The German attack cut the lines.
That's why he's late.
Can we go outside?
I wrote to my mother
about you.
She wanted me to tell you
that once this war was over,
if there's anything you needed...
anything at all...
our family
will be there for you.
You know I'm here for you.
They're saying
Vassili is dead.
Vassili Zaitsev
will never see his loved ones again.
Surrender!
This is your only hope.
You're upset.
Because Zaitsev is dead?
You don't have to hide it.
There's no shame in it.
You're a Russian
like he is.
Don't listen to them.
It's just propaganda.
He isn't dead.
And do you know why?
Because I haven't
killed him yet.
I'm going to tell you
a little secret.
Only you, because
I know I can trust you.
But you must swear to me that
you won't tell another soul.
You swear?
It's by the exit
from the train station.
I'll hide
in the water tower.
Tomorrow.
I'll wait for him there.
You'll see.
He'll be there.
He always is.
I also want you to swear that from now
on, you'll stay home where you belong.
Do you swear?
Yes?
Good.
"We know he's alive.
We know he won't fail us.
We know because he is a part of us now.
Vassili is eternal."
Where have you been?
We've looked everywhere for you.
Oh, didn't you hear?
I was dead.
Zaitsev...
Vassili was dead.
The real one.
Me...
I was asleep,
and I missed my chance.
Then, I was curled up
in a corner, hiding...
from a man
who wants to kill me.
I'll talk to Kruschev.
He'll send you back
to your old division.
- Where's Tania?
- She's at the shelter.
I've been to the shelter.
I told her you weren't dead.
The major said so.
He said the other Germans were lying.
He told me you were waiting
for him at the station.
Vassili.
Vassili.
Vassili.
My little Sacha.
I knew it.
- Vassili.
- Tania.
I knew you weren't dead.
How?
Because we only just met.
since I was a little girl.
When I opened my eyes,
Sacha was standing there...
waiting to give me
the good news.
even more than I do.
To the proper military authority,
I'm calling to the commandant's
attention the recent changes noticed...
in the attitude towards fighting
He has attempted on several occasions
to escape his duties,
voiced doubts on the chances
of our victory...
and made defeatist comments
in public.
The inexplicable
duration of his duel...
with the Nazi sharpshooter
can only be explained by...
his lack of belief
in the communist ideal.
Good morning, Sacha.
Once again, he knew
exactly where to find me.
Don't you think
that's strange?
- Apart from me, only you knew.
I don't hold it against you,
Sacha.
You've done
a very brave thing.
You've chosen your camp.
I respect that.
But it isn't my camp.
We're both soldiers,
and we're both enemies,
so I know you understand.
I'm annoyed with you, little Sacha, for
not staying home as I made you swear to.
I'm annoyed with you for obliging me
to do what I'm going to have to do.
I've never seen anyone
frown so much in their sleep.
How long have you been
watching me?
All night.
You've been snoring away
happily for hours.
I don't snore.
Do I?
Like a pig.
I suppose I talk
in my sleep as well.
Yes.
There's something
I should tell you.
On the train...
coming here...
we were in the same car.
No.
I saw you.
You were reading,
and you fell asleep.
I didn't dare look at you,
you were so beautiful.
It was scary.
Afterwards, I couldn't stop
thinking about you.
It made me smile.
And then I thought of all the men
who would get to hold you...
who'd make you laugh...
how lucky they were.
And now I'm the one
lying next to you.
And now I'm the one
lying next to you.
- Was I snoring?
- Like a pig.
- What?
- Oh, my God!
- Oh, no.
- Oh, my God!
- Tania, no.
- Tania, no!
- No, get off me!
- Get off me! Get off me!
- It's what he wants!
- This is what he wants!
- Get off me!
- No, he'll kill you. He'll kill you!
- Let me go!
- I'll run after you, and he'll kill me.
- Let me go!
- Let me go!
- This is what he wants! I'll get him.
- I promise I'll get him.
I'll get his rifle for you.
I promise, Tania.
I need you.
You have to leave now, Mrs. Filipov.
Stalingrad may fall.
The last of the boats are leaving.
The Germans will be here any moment.
He's brought you a pass.
You'll be safe on the other side.
Gather your things, and we'll help you
carry them to the landing stage.
I'm not leaving.
This is my home.
This is my Sacha's home.
I can't leave.
I have to tell you something,
Mrs. Filipov.
Something very difficult
to understand.
It's about Sacha.
He's gone over to the Germans.
He's betrayed his country.
He's with the enemy now.
He won't be coming back.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
He's become a traitor.
The poor little thing.
What has he done?
So, he's going to
stay over there?
Yes... he's going to
