Child 44

Your father?

Dead?

What's your name?

I don't want it anymore.

I'll give you a new one.

Leo. Like a lion.

Vasili, fire your weapon!

Shit.

Fall back! Vasili, get down!

Get down! Shoot back!

Alexei, cover me!

Vasili, fire your weapon!

Vasili! Hey, Vasili!

You can come up the stairs now. It's safe.

Don't be coward. No one will shoot you.

Alexei, just leave him alone.

- Give him the flag.

- Me?

You. You, too. Come with me.

- Me?

- Yeah.

Leo, make us proud.

I will, sir.

Okay. Get up there. On the spire.

Now let's show the people

how Berlin has fallen to the Red Army.

- Lose the goddamn watches.

- What?

Take them off. Stolen watches.

They can't be seen.

- Hey, Leo!

- What?

The Admiral, he don't like my watches.

You take this.

- He doesn't like watches?

- No. He doesn't like German watches.

- Grab the flag and get up there.

- Yeah, come up here. You take the flag.

- Okay, wait, wait.

- Take the flag.

Catch a big wind,

so we can see our flag.

- Good, that's right.

- Like this?

Yeah, great.

One more.

- You're sure?

- Yeah.

Do you remember when we first met?

Raisa, remember when we first met?

You thought that I was rude.

- You were rude.

- I was not rude.

- You were staring at me.

- I was...

I was mesmerized.

I was mesmerized by your beauty.

Even had to get off at the wrong

Metro station just to ask you your name.

- I lied.

- She did.

She told me her name was Lena.

- Yes. I didn't know you then.

- So you still lied.

I turn up at the park

to see my beautiful Lena.

- No Lena.

- It was raining.

- It was raining for a week.

- It was raining.

Questionable.

But then I found you somehow.

8:
15 a.m. Same train platform

that I met you before.

Then I asked you... well, I convinced you

to walk with me that day.

And when we got to the school gate,

I held your hands, and I looked

into your eyes, and I said to you,

"Lena... Lena, Lena, Lena, Lena,

"Lena, Lena, Lena,

"I am so ready to kiss you right now."

And do you know what Lena told me?

"Comrade Demidov, my name is Raisa."

Who's Raisa? So now I have

to go back to work,

and tell all my friends

that I'm in love with Raisa.

This beautiful Raisa.

My friends, they all laugh at me.

You were the worst, I remember.

Laughed at me because they say,

"Last week, we in love with Lena,

this week, it's Raisa..."

Next week, maybe Natasha. Who knows?

With Leo it's always someone new.

No, there will never be somebody new.

There will only be you.

All those stories are over for me now.

There is only you.

There will always only be you.

Always you.

This is the veterinarian's place.

Stinking zoo for a stinking traitor.

Is he gone?

- You can't say I didn't tell you, boss.

- Collect the evidence for me, please.

And you have no idea whatsoever

where Anatoly Brodsky might be?

None.

All I can tell you, he was...

Was?

- Is.

- Is?

He is a good neighbor.

I respect and admire you trying

to protect him, but...

you see, for me it's different,

because we are here

in your home because

your friend, companion,

he is a traitor, Zina.

You understand?

And traitors have friends.

And these "friends,"

they are not our friends.

Do I have to spell this out for you?

Zina,

now is the time to say...

something.

Anything.

Mama! Mama!

No shooting.

- Mama.

- Don't move.

- Semyon Okun?

- Yes.

There is no one else in here.

Anatoly Brodsky, do you know him?

- Yes, I know Brodsky.

- Right. Do you know where he is?

- Brodsky? In Moscow, I think.

- No, he's not in Moscow.

But we have information that tells us

that he's staying here with you.
