How are you going to go about finding

this young Russian?

I'll fix it so that he's the one

who finds me.

Vassili.

Vassili.

- Come on, time to get up.

- What?

They have a problem in the department

store sector. They need us. Come on.

Look, Vassili, he's hiding

in the department store. Over there.

So far this morning,

he's knocked off five officers,

plus two machine gunners.

Look, third floor,

fourth window from the left.

Fourth window from the left.

See him?

Yeah, I see him.

There, you got him!

Great shot.

Let's go get

his dog tag.

Good-bye, comrade Commissar.

Thank you for your

hospitality, Mrs. Filipov.

You can borrow

whatever you like.

I'm not sure what they would say

to me at headquarters...

if I came back with an armful

of Goethe and Schiller.

- There's some Marx too.

You were assigned to civil defense

at the 12th district?

No, I volunteered.

It's such a coincidence

meeting you like this.

Comrade Kruschev was

telling me just yesterday...

how desperately we're in need

of operators who speak German.

I can't. Our militia's responsible

for all the people in this neighborhood.

We're already

desperately short of men.

We'll give you a dozen soldiers

for every one that speaks German.

I'd rather stay and fight.

Serving at headquarters is fighting.

You'd be far more useful there.

You stay here.

You cover us.

- We go.

Take care.

Ludmilla, come on.

Check the stairway.

It's a trap.

I know.

Move back.

He's still here.

- They're coming straight for us!

- Ludmilla,

stay where you are,

he's over there somewhere.

We have to

get out of here!

- We have to get out of here!

-Just stay where you are!

What are we gonna do?

Ludmilla, stay where you are!

F*** this, I'm going.

Ludmilla, no!

What does this mean?

"The little shepherd from the Urals

receives a new sniper's rifle,

"a Mosin-Nagant 7.62,

with its 3.5-power P.U. telescope.

Pride of precision

of Soviet production."

- I've seen that rifle close up.

- Have you?

I've even touched it.

I know him well, Vassili Zaitsev.

Ludmilla and Anton were killed today,

and it was my fault.

No, I'm sure

that's not true.

There was a German sniper.

I walked them right into his trap.

- What else can you tell me?

- He didn 't relocate.

A sniper who doesn't

relocate isn't normal.

He was very good. It wasn't just

his shooting, it was his instinct.

He was a step ahead

of me all the time.

That's because he knows

everything about you.

His name is Konig,

Major Konig.

They've sent him here

to ki...

to find you.

At first we weren't sure

if the information was reliable.

It seems he's come

all the way from Berlin to stop you.

You've caused them so many sleepless
