Original subtitles

It was supposed to be a really good day, the best of days.

The Germans had surrendered.

The war was over.

Or so we all thought.

None of us were really that keen on the plane, you could tell.

We all just wanted to be back at home with our families and our friends.

Smiling and laughing.

Embracing strangers on the streets.

Cheering with all the crowds.

But that wasn't to be.

We were given this last mission.

It was supposed to be over.

And then the sky erupted.

With all these explosions.

These huge, deafening crashes and blasts and the shouts of men turning into screams.

Sounded a bit like a war.

The war that we were told was over.

It was all finished.

And we were just going to clear it all.

And we'd been sent right back future it.

I had plummeted through the air, desperately tearing at my parachute.

And somehow woke up hanging from a tree.

The plane had been shot down, but I was lucky.

I could see the bodies of men who had been sitting

near me minutes earlier, dead on the ground.

Planes were still flying overhead.

They seemed to be getting closer.

I didn't know where I was, if I was in front or behind the line.

But I knew I needed to get down and quickly.

I found my knife and started to try and cut

through the mess of cords tangled around me.

And I managed to cut through them and I fell again.

And I landed on my knife.

I grit my teeth, pulled it out.

But replaced it with a huge brush.

A piece of

the probably Harris-type brush I used to into a used camera.

but it used a few turns at some points without listening.

I was amazed at this.

Don't you think I heard something from it.

No, it came from a 50-m fall.

I heard him in the back.

Find him on the ground floor.

Come up with your hands.

Drop your weapon.

I'm sorry, I don't understand.

Come with your hands up.

Drop the gun.

I'm dropping the gun.

Down on your knees.

Down.

Okay, okay.

I'm just reaching for paper.

A letter.

Come on.

Can you give it to my family, please?

Come on.

Kid, get up.

Kid.

Grab your gun.

We gotta go.

Who are you?

It doesn't matter.

Grab your gun.

We gotta go.

Right now.

Come on.

Get up.

Go.

Come on.

Get down.

Get down.

You're good.

Your leg.

You're good.

Yeah.

Yeah, that's right.

Be quiet.

Be quiet.

Snell.

Snell.

Grab their ammo.

Mm-mm.

He had a pretty little life.

We should get out of here.

We need to keep moving.

You alone?

Yeah.

Hopefully, there are others.

But we need to get out of here before more Germans come.

Well, they're already here.

They're looking for you, not me.

You know that, right?

Are you trying to get yourself killed back there?

Thank you for saving me.

What are we gonna do with the two of us?

Probably a hundred Germans out here.

Maybe you can't do anything, but I can.

If you don't want to fight, just go.

You gonna kill every kraut by yourself?

Every one of these German bastards I kill means one more of our boys gets to go home.

We don't know where we are or how many Germans are looking for us.

They're looking for you.

They're looking for you.

They won't kill you, too?

I'm gonna get every one of these pricks.

They wiped out my unit, my brothers.

They wiped out yours, too.

Or did you already forget that?

We need to get going.

They're looking for one soldier, not two.

So I'm gonna stay, and I'm gonna kill as many

of these krauts as I can get my hands on.

Great.

Suicide mission.

You Yanks have to be heroes.

Stan, are you gonna fight?

I'm gonna help you.

Thanks for helping me out back there.

You mean saving your life?

Yeah.

Saving my life.

But now I'm going.

Good luck with all the killing.

You don't want to go that way.

I'm fine.

This is why I'm gonna kill as many of those assholes as I can.

Some of them might still be alive.

I'm gonna help them.

They're all dead.

How do you know?

I checked them.

One was alive.

Barely.

You sure?

Not an idiot.

Then why didn't you save him?

There's nothing I could do.

I just stopped breathing.

Could have been me.

Yeah.

Well, it wasn't.

You take a good look at them.

Because they slaughtered us like fucking cattle.

And if we stay here, we'll get slaughtered too.

I said you can go.

Men were my friends.

So maybe now you understand.

Why'd you have a death wish?

I see you motherfuckers.

Don't creep up on me like that.

I could have killed you.

What makes you think I wouldn't have killed you?

I told you to go.

They're all dead.

You're the only one out here.

We need to work together.

You want him dead, I get it.

I don't wanna kill anybody.

But I'll do what I have to.

Is your gun loaded?

I've never actually killed anybody.

It's easy when you got a reason.

I got a reason.

So do you.

Thank you.

Yes.

We gotta take them out.

If they find those bodies, we're gonna have the entire German army on our ass.

Yes.

What's the plan?

I'm gonna circle around behind them.

You're gonna stay here and keep cover.

Remember why you're doing this.

My letter.

Where did you get that?

Dropped it on the road.

Thank you.

My name's Sidney Baker.

I'm William Summers.

Get in there.

What?

They didn't hear anything.

You're gonna bring them right to us.

Shut up and cover me.

Christoph?

Where are you?

Where are you?

Stay there.

Shoot him!

I'm good.

I don't understand you.

Shut up!

Shut the fuck up!

Do you speak German?

A little.

Guten tag, shit.

I know that.

Guten tag?

Shut the fuck up.

English.

Do you speak it?

Do you understand what I'm saying?

Nein.

Nein.

Nein, English.

Nein.

He has no idea.

He's a dumb... We can still use him.

He's useless!

What's the matter with you?

We could have used him to get out of here.

This is war.

You really think he would have let you live?

We gotta move.

They'll have heard that shot.

Yeah, a shot you didn't have to make.

There's probably Germans surrounding us in every direction now.

Looks that way.

I know you don't want to live, but I would like to go home and see my wife and child.

Stop deluding yourself.

You're not gonna make it home.

This was always a suicide mission.

We can both get out of here if we're smart.

Look, I told you to leave.

So if you want, you can just go and find...

What was that?

Dogs.

Did you see a dog with this group?

No, must be a different group.

They don't give up, do they?

That's why we'd kill them and don't take them prisoner.

Move!

Wait

a minute, I've got a free flag.

If those dogs catch up with us, we're done.

Here.

Not me.

Here.

Think you're a little girl.

You good?

Thank you.

What are you doing?

I've got an idea.

You keep a lookout.

What was that?

I'm getting the dog off our back.

Go.

It worked.

Yeah.

You killed a dog.

Hopefully.

I like dogs.

This one would have torn you to pieces.

Probably.

Think we've got them all?

If it didn't, it distracted them.

We've got to find a place to rest.

It's going to be dark soon.

You don't want to carry on through the night?

It's pitch black out here at night.

You can't see anything.

We don't have any lights.

We won't know which way we're heading.

Do we know which way we're heading now?

Like I said, it'll be dark soon.

We don't, do we?

How long you been married?

Just over a year.

Got a picture?

She's a beauty.

We both are.

I wouldn't give to be at home with both of them now.

What are their names?

My wife's Irene and my daughter's Mary.

Sounds like you got the perfect little life back home.

I do.

What it was going to be.

I'm sorry.

Mary was born just a month ago.

I got to leave for the day.

Got to hold her.

And I'm back to maneuvers.

You'll see him again?

Maybe.

You will get home and see him again.

You hear me?

What about you?

What about me?

Any girlfriend?

Wife?

Back home?

Nothing.

You must do something else other than kill people.

I'm not a killer.

I'm just doing my duty.

Yeah, I know.

I didn't mean anything by it, honestly.

You know what I was before the war?

No.

I was a mechanic.

I fixed things.

I put them back together.

I didn't.

I'm just trying to kill people who are trying to kill me.

If I didn't do what I did back there, you'd be dead too.

I was a train engineer.

It was good enough for the effort until now.

Maybe we should try and get some sleep.

Yeah.

I'll go ahead and try.

I'll take first watch.

Did you hear that?

Yes.

Stay down.

I can't see anything.

Neither can I, but they might hear you.

Be quiet.

I see them.

Stay here.

Wait, wait, wait.

Just let them pass.

I can't.

They're setting up camp.

I see three.

Make that four.

Two o'clock.

Shit.

He's heading this way.

Grab me the bag behind the tree.

Shit.

Bring me dry wood, please.

Yeah, yeah.

Go.

Quick.

It's good.

It's good.

Thank you.

Shit.

Watch out.

No.

Are you sure this is the best plan we've got?

Yeah.

You ready?

You really are

insane, aren't you?

Get the shit off me.

Why did you wait so long to shoot?

I had to wait for the right moment.

You did great.

Thanks.

Let's not do that again.

You're gonna be exposed.

Keep your eyes open.

Who is that?

Pepper?

What happened?

Ready?

Easy.

Ready?

Fire!

Baker, let's go!

Come on!

Get up!

Baker, come on!

We need you!

Baker, don't do this right now!

I can't.

I can't.

Baker, you can't do this right now!

I can't.

I can't.

I can't.

I can't do it.

Think of your little girl!

I can't.

Get up.

Get up!

Up!

Come on!

Listen.

Listen to me!

When I tell you to run, run!

Got it?

You got it?

I was in the middle of God knows where.

No.

Even he didn't know.

Alone.

Exhausted.

With the single thought of trying to get back.

Whilst wanting to curl up in a ball and give up.

But

I put one boot in front of another...

And another... And then... posible Wait!

What...?

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait a minute.

I'll leave.

I'll leave.

I'll leave.

Just, just let me go.

Drop it!

Drop food!

You have a family.

I have a family.

Drop it now!

Nobody has to get hurt anymore.

Let's both put our guns down.

Do you really want to do this?

You made me do it.

I didn't want to.

He didn't leave me any choice.

And I think...

that was you, I think.

Thank you.

A gunshot and all that silence.

I went as fast as I could to escape, to get out of that damned forest.

To get us home.

I came across this barn.

I, uh...

I talked to a horse.

Hey, boy.

You're a good horse, aren't you?

You have... no idea what I've just been through.

Or maybe you do.

I almost gave up.

I did.

But, uh...

My friend, he...

He told me not to.

You're a bit of a pellock, really.

Then the owner came in, and...

I readied myself.

I thought I was going to die.

Again.

Again.

But this man, this barn owner, he hit me.

He grabbed me and he hit me.

This Dutch barn owner.

These two Germans came in.

They must have tracked me.

I was never as good at this as you.

And then he managed to get the soldiers to leave and fly after a ghost.

Thank you.

Are you, are you alright?

See, I'll never surrender.

Who hit you?

What is your name?

I'm, uh, I'm Baker.

Bengals, yeah.

I win the race.

Yeah.

Hungry.

Hungry.

Eat.

Yeah.

Here I am.

And then he fed me.

He put me up in his home.

And when the war was over, when it was finally finished, when the fighting had

actually stopped, he got me back to Britain.

I owe two people my life.

A stranger of a Dutch barn owner and you, an American soldier.

The best of men.

Private William Somers.

I wanted to come and see you for years.

But..

What?

After the war, I was terrified of flying.

This is the first time I've left England.

I tried to contact your family.

I really did.

I tried.

I promise.

I brought my family.

My little girl, my grandchildren, and I had a son too.

He's here too.

I know I haven't got much time left and it's

only because of you that I'm here at all.

Thank you for giving me my life.

Not a day goes by that I don't think about what you did for me.

You gave me the courage to fight when I didn't think I could.

Thank you, my brother.

May you rest in peace.
