Original subtitles

It was supposed to be a really good day.

The best of days.

The Germans had surrendered.

The war was over.

What shall 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,

and laughing, embracing strangers on the streets, cheering with all the crowds.

That wasn't to be.

We were given this last mission.

They're supposed to be over.

And then the sky erupted from all these explosions.

Huge, deathly breaths.

Blasts.

The shouts of men.

Turning into screams.

It felt a bit like war.

The war that we were on was over.

It was all finished.

And we were just going to clear it up.

And we'd been sent right back into...

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

And I 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,

on the ground.

The planes were still flying overhead and 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've landed on my knife.

Grit my teeth.

Pulled it out.

I think I heard him over there. I heard him over there.

I don't understand a thing.

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 in for paper.

A letter.

A letter.

Come on. Can you give it to my family, please?

Kid, grab your gun. We gotta go. Who are you? Doesn't matter. Grab your gun. We

gotta go right now. Come on.

Get up and go.

Get down.

Get down.

You're good.

You're late. You're good.

Yeah, yeah. Bless me. Quiet.

pretty little wife.

We should get out of here.

We'll 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 trying to get yourself killed back

Thank you for saving me.

What are we going to 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're going to kill every crowd by yourself?

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

home.

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

They're looking for you.

They won't kill you, too?

I'm going to 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... So I'm gonna stay and I'm gonna kill as

many of these Krauts as I can get my hands on.

Suicide mission.

You Yanks have to be heroes.

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 going to kill as many of those assholes as I can.

Some of them might still be alive.

I'm going to 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.

Stop breathing.

It could have been me.

Yeah.

Well, it wasn't.

You take a good look at them.

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.

Maybe now you understand.

Why do you have a death wish?

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 them dead, I get it.

I don't want to kill anybody.

But I'll do what I have to.

You gun -loaded?

Never actually killed anybody.

It's easy when you got a reason.

I got a reason. So do you.

Yes.

We got to take them out. If they find those bodies, we're going to have the

entire German army on our ass. Yes.

What's the plan?

I'm going to circle around behind them.

You're going to stay here and keep cover.

Where did you get that?

Dropped it on the road.

Thank you.

My name's Sidney Baker.

William Summers.

What? They didn't hear anything.

Dane, you're going to bring them right to us.

Shut up and come.

Christoph?

Who are you?

there.

Shoot him!

I'm good.

I'm good. I'm good.

I don't understand you. Shut up!

Shut the fuck up.

Do you speak German?

A little.

Like that 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. In nein English. Nein.

Nein English.

He has no idea. The 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?

You've got to move.

They'll have heard that shot.

Yeah, shot you didn't have to make. There's probably Germans surrounding us

every direction now. Look that way.

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

child. Stop deluding yourself.

You're not going to 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

that?

Dogs.

Did you see a dog with this group? No, must be a different group.

They don't give up, do they? Well, that's why we kill them and don't take

prisoner. Move.

Move!

Wait a minute, I've got to pick my life.

Those dogs can't check on us. We're done.

Dear little girl.

Good.

Thank you.

What are you doing?

Good idea.

You keep a lookout.

What was that getting the dog off our back?

It worked.

Yeah.

You killed a dog.

Hopefully.

I like dogs.

This one would have torn you to pieces.

Probably.

Anyone 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 and you can't see anything. We don't have

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.

Any time, do we?

How long you been married?

Don't worry yet.

Look at you.

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.

Or it was going to be.

Mary was punched a month ago.

I got leave for the day.

I had to hold her.

I'm back to manoeuvres.

You'll see him again.

We will get home and see him again.

You hear me?

What about you?

What about me?

Any girlfriend, wife, back home?

I mean, you must do something else other than kill people. I'm not a killer.

Doing my duty.

Yeah. Yeah, I know. I didn't mean anything by it, honestly.

You know what I was before the war?

No.

I was a mechanic.

Fixed things and 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.

I can't.

They're setting up camp.

We're back.

Shit.

Yeah,

yeah.

Is it good?

It's good, thank you.

Thank you.

Are you sure this is the best plan of action?

You ready?

Oh, Kraus has two friends.

Kraus?

Kraus? Scheisse!

Insane, aren't you?

Get this shit off me.

Why did you wait so long to shoot?

I had to wait for the right moment.

You did great.

Hey, let's not do that again.

You're going to be exposed.

Keep your eyes open.

Can't believe it.

That's what they all thought.

What happened?

Uh -oh.

Ready?

Fire!

Baker, let's go! Come on!

Get up!

Baker, come on! We need you!

Baker, don't do this right now. Come on.

I can't. I can't.

Baker,

you can't do this right now.

I can't.

I can't.

I can't do it.

Make it your little girl.

Get up!

Up! Come on!

Listen to me! When I tell you to run, run! Got it?

You got it?

What's wrong?

You're fine. You're fine. You're fine.

You gotta go.

You gotta come with me. You're killing them all.

I'm not gonna make it.

I got a family.

Can you get this to Sarah?

Can you tell her I tried?

I tried real hard.

And my boy.

Get this to my boy.

His name's Jake.

Can you tell him I tried?

You get home with your family.

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.

I put one boot in front of another.

And another.

And then...

Wait, wait, wait, wait a minute.

I'll leave.

I'll leave. I'll leave. Just let me go.

You have a family.

I have a family.

Drop it now!

Nobody has to get hurt anymore.

Let's put our guns down.

Do you really want to do this?

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?

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

Or maybe you did.

I almost gave up.

I did.

But, uh... My friend, he... He told me not to.

And the owner came in and I readied myself.

I thought I was going to die again.

But this man, this...

Barn owner.

He hid me.

He grabbed me.

And he hid me.

This Dutch barn owner.

These two Germans came in. They must have tracked me.

I was never good at this. Hello?

You see anyone?

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

Thank you.

Are you... Are you all right?

They don't know us, do they?

Who hit you?

What is your name?

I'm, uh... I'm Baker.

Engels.

And then

he

fed me.

He put me up in his hole.

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 Summers.

I wanted to come and see you for years.

But 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.

Grandchildren.

And I had a son.

He's here too.

I know I haven't got much time left.

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.
