Haywire: Gunslingers (2024) Movie Script

(thunder rumbling)
(lightning cracking)
(thunder rumbling)
(footsteps approaching)
(thunder crashing)
(prisoner coughing)
You're wasting your time.
(captor laughing)
(captors speaking in foreign language)
(eerie music)
You put up a fight, ami.
- It's probably 'cause you're
a man here hits like a girl.
(captor smacking prisoner)
- So is only one girl who
does not hit like a girl.
And you'll never get her.
That's why you are wrong, ami.
It is a matter of time and
we have many time to wait.
- You can torture me all you
want and you'll never find her.
She's far away from here, somewhere safe.
(captor smacking prisoner)
(eerie music)
(prisoner coughing)
Can you guys just stop for a
minute and tell me something?
(captor speaking in foreign language)
How far do you think you'll get?
With you?
With the war you started?
We did not start this war.
Tomato. Tomato.
- We will not stop until the
whole world is Deutschland.
(prisoner coughing)
- I don't think you understand
how far this goes up.
The full force of the US Army
is on European soil right now,
backed by allies from all over the world.
You got us on one side and
the (indistinct) on the other
and you still think that you're
gonna win the World Series?
You speak silly, ami.
You think that because you have more money
that you can stop the fatherland?
You think that because you
bring more tanks and guns
that you can stop the Deutsche army.
The fatherland is not the
ground where you spill our blood
and dirty with your boots.
Sins in mind.
You think that only
because we are dead that we have lost.
We will never die.
The fatherland will live on forever
because the people will never let it die.
- Spoken like someone
who knows they've lost.
We have not lost yet, soldier.
We have many sleeve tricks in our hat.
(prisoner laughing and coughing)
This is funny?
- I'll overlook your bad
English if you tell me
what those sleeve tricks are.
[Lead Captor] But you will not be
alive for long, mein freund.
There is no reason to waste
oxygen telling you something
when we are the ones asking the questions.
(captor smacking prisoner)
Like I said, you can keep hitting me,
I'm not gonna tell you where she is.
[Lead Captor] Hmm, well,
perhaps we do not need to keep hitting you
to get the answers.
(captors mumbling)
What is this?
- [Lead Captor] Some things
that will make you sing
like you were on Broadway.
(light music)
(light instrumental music)
(victim grunting)
(light instrumental music)
(captor speaking in foreign language)
Don't you fucking dare.
It will only hurt a lot.
Now, you will no longer be
able to say the fuck to you.
(muffled speaking)
(light music)
(gun firing)
(German screaming)
Hey wait, stop.
Who are you?
(tense music)
I had that under control.
It doesn't look like it.
It was all a part of my plan.
Your plan was to get beaten up
and have your fingers ripped off?
Maybe.
Sounds like a good plan.
- [Prisoner] I was getting
information out him.
If I'd left you any longer
you would've had to hobble out of here.
Like I said, I had it all under control.
Now you listen here.
- [Person In Black] There
will be more of them, come on.
Hey, I do not need a chaperone.
- [Person In Black]
Can we argue about this
when we're not in the lion's den?
(German speaking in foreign language)
(soldier grunting)
(tense music)
(soft music)
(gun firing)
(soft music)
(light rock music)
(gun firing)
(light rock music)
(water flowing)
You are the one they talk about.
- Yeah, I did not need
your fucking help in there.
- If it weren't for me, you
wouldn't have enough fingers
to point even one at me.
I have a system, okay?
I give them a little, they give me a lot.
I almost had them too.
They were gonna tell me
everything I needed to know.
What are you talking about?
- And then you showed up
and ruined everything.
Are you listening to what you're saying?
Who cares if I lose a finger or two?
Okay, I can take it.
I've lost a lot more
since this war started.
Are you actually listening to the words
that are coming out of your mouth,
putting your life in danger?
- My life was hardly a danger.
- To what end?
I saved you, I expect some
more gratitude for that.
- [Soldier] I owe you nothing.
This is not a game, man.
This is a lot more serious than you think.
- You think I don't know
how serious this is?
You're late to the party, American.
I've been fighting this war
for four years in four countries.
I've seen my fair share
of sorrow, revenge, valor,
enough to last me a lifetime.
You're the one playing games here.
Toying with your life when
there are men out there
giving up everything to end this war
before it wipes out the whole of Europe.
- You don't understand
what's going on here.
- Enlighten me.
- What's the point?
- You seem to have it all
figured out, sending a girl.
Of her and this.
Does she do all your fighting for you?
I said don't.
There are rumors and stories.
I never thought I'd see her in the flesh.
- You have no clue what's going
on here, absolutely no clue.
- A killing machine got
the jerries quaking.
Kleiner Tod is what they
call her, Little Death.
Well thank you.
But I think we got from here.
You can run along now.
- My name's Diane.
- I never asked.
And I have to be honest.
I've been looking for you,
and her.
I work for the British War Ministry.
Yeah, I figured by your accent.
Can you just listen?
Have you gone deaf from spending
years in a tin can?
I was sent here as an
ambassador to find you two.
We intercepted so many
communications about you,
what you are doing,
how much you've done for the war effort
and how much more
- you could do.
- Wow.
You make me feel like Frank Sinatra.
If we could get you on board with us,
- Well we are not gonna
be getting on board
with anyone, okay?
I've had my fill of the
chain of command in this war.
I'm not going back to
being told what to do
by idiots that don't know what it's like
to look down the barrel
of a German machine gun.
Nothing like that.
We want information,
information that will help us win the war.
And somehow, you of all people,
seem to have more information
than those at the top.
That's because your people are too busy
sitting behind desks, looking at numbers,
not getting their hands stuck in the mud.
(soft piano music)
- I've seen the reports
about what happened to you.
What can you possibly know?
- Your crew.
- I don't have a crew.
I know.
(soft piano music)
- This is all very interesting
to hear about my failures,
but we actually have plans this evening.
There's a sublime French restaurant
a few miles down from here.
Sadly it's fully booked,
but they do the best or escargot in town,
so if you don't mind.
What are you looking for?
What do you mean?
You're after something.
No one has said it outright,
because I don't think anyone
on the ground actually knows.
And even if they do know, they
don't want it getting out.
But you are looking for
something behind the curtain.
It's about her, isn't it?
(somber piano music)
I don't know what to expect from her.
I don't know her.
She could be a spy.
Those Germans are sneaky mother-
She could just be putting
on that British accent.
Makes them better spies, you know?
That's how they infiltrate
to get information.
They lie.
They lie so much they believe that lie,
and then they don't even
know what's true anymore.
You know what I'm saying?
Just because she has that British accent
and can handle herself in a fight
does not mean that we can trust her.
Yeah.
I miss her, too.
That doesn't mean that the next person
can just come into our lives
and replace the hole that she left,
however much you want that to happen.
I don't think we need
another woman in our lives.
We have each other.
You and me kiddo.
(dramatic orchestral music)
Which reminds me,
I don't want you taking unnecessary risks.
Okay?
I was fine.
I know that you can swashbuckle your way
through a platoon like
they're toy soldiers but,
(somber orchestral music)
you're really important.
Okay?
A lot more important than me.
You heard what she said?
Little Death.
Oh, you like that, huh? Yeah?
Little Death.
Yeah, suits you, little
death, yeah. (laughing)
(glass breaking)
(soldier grunting)
(dark music)
Door was open.
Christ, I almost shot you.
Good thing you didn't.
It's abandoned, you can
tell from the outside.
Well next time it would be nice for you
to share that sort of information
before I break my neck
trying to get in here.
I tried, but you told me to be quiet.
Anyway, this will do for tonight.
Do you know how to build a fire?
I'll see if there's any food left in here.
I don't know what you're smiling about.
It's not gonna happen.
(fire puffing)
What do you like to eat?
Do you like potatoes?
Do you like carrots?
Rabbit?
Do you talk?
Is it because you can't?
You really are something
special, Mathilde.
Do you know that?
The stories I've heard,
I don't know if they're
true, but I hope they are.
Everyone is talking about you in London.
Do you know where London is?
London is the greatest city in the world.
Is it true you single-handedly
took on a German bunker by yourself?
They say there were a
hundred men in there,
armed to the teeth,
and you went in on your
own taking on two at a time
until every man was down,
cutting through them like butter.
I'm sorry to hear about Ida.
I know how much she meant to you.
It's okay to feel sad, and
it's okay to cry sometimes.
I know it doesn't mean much
coming from me, a stranger,
but I've lost people I care about too.
This war has taken some very
good people away from us.
I lost my brother in the blitz.
(dramatic piano music)
Do you know what that is?
Hitler wanted Britain so badly,
an island fortress for his own,
a year of constant bombing
raids almost every night
to raze us to the
ground, break our spirit.
But you can't break an Englishman's
spirit, not with force.
My brother was a pilot.
(soft piano music)
It takes a lot of courage
to get into a tin can
and fight against those Messerschmitts.
Those poor boys.
They gave everything
so we can have a home.
(dramatic orchestral music)
Every time they go up
we have to say goodbye
like it's the last time
we'll see them, every time.
He went up one day
and I never saw him again.
So I know what it's like.
Fire is ready.
Did you find any food?
- We found some, it'll
be ready in a minute.
Do you want to find some plates?
(fire crackling)
(tense music)
(Mathilde gasping)
(dark music)
(teakettle whistling)
(sinister music)
(Mathilde breathing heavily)
(Mathilde exhaling)
(soft piano music)
(soft piano music)
(solemn orchestral music)
(solemn orchestral music)
I didn't think you would come.
Do you know who I am?
You know you are surrounded.
If you try anything, they're ready.
Come inside.
(door closing)
(soft piano music)
You and I are not that dissimilar.
Cut from the same cloth,
born again.
(soft piano music)
We have come back from death,
and live to talk about it today.
What did you see?
I don't remember either.
But I have
visions
when my eyes are closed,
images that appear then
disappear when I open them.
(dramatic orchestral music)
There is no light, only darkness.
I have experienced the future.
The future I want to see become reality.
(dramatic orchestral music)
There is something in that darkness.
I strain to look.
My eyes do not see.
In that darkness
I feel.
I feel a glow,
a warmth.
The only heat.
I have experienced the future,
the future I want to see become reality.
(dramatic orchestral music)
My question,
would you like to see my future?
Our future, if you would like to join me.
(dark piano music)
(dramatic orchestral music)
(thunder rumbling)
(dramatic orchestral music)
(fire burning)
(person screaming)
(thunder rumbling)
(person screaming)
(dissonant music)
Mattie?
Mattie?
Mattie?
Mattie!
Mattie!
[Diane] What's going on?
Mathilde's missing.
Missing?
I can't find her anywhere.
Calm down, she has to be here somewhere.
No, something's not right.
(soft instrumental music)
(soft instrumental music)
(dramatic instrumental music)
(dramatic instrumental music)
We need to rest.
I can't rest.
You're going to burn yourself out.
I didn't ask you to come along.
I don't know where you got the idea
that you're welcome here.
We're on the same team
- here, Charles.
- But since you turned up,
things have started to go sideways.
We were fine just as we were.
We do not need your help.
You know what she's capable of.
Wherever she is, I'm
certain that she's fine.
She's not fine, she needs me.
Or is it the other way round?
We're a team.
- Look, I can see how
protective you are of her,
but there's one thing
you have to consider.
Once this is all over,
what will you do then?
She's not your daughter.
We're wasting daylight.
- Why are you so stubborn?
- I'm not stubborn.
I've read the reports,
and I can see why you didn't go back.
A piece of paper isn't gonna tell you
who the fuck I am, Diane.
- I can assure you it
wasn't a piece of paper,
it was a file as thick as
both my hands put together.
It doesn't mean anything.
It doesn't mean anything?
You are still a soldier
regardless of all the
good you are doing here.
What happened to you to make this person?
I was a boy.
Enlisted into a regime, told
what to do, day in, day out,
and how they said it was gonna be.
I have this itch that I can't
scratch and it burns me,
(tribal flute and drum music)
but this right here, what we're doing,
this scratches that itch.
This is my purpose,
and she needs me just
as much as I need her.
You can't come into our
lives, stir things up,
point out the obvious.
I know that she's not mine,
but she has a life too,
a purpose,
and I want her to live that life
remembering that someone cared enough
to give her everything she
wanted, pushed her, guided her,
showed the way things
could be, not as they are.
(dramatic orchestral music)
I'm not perfect,
but I'm trying to be better than I was.
This war
has broken me,
but I'm still here
fighting for something bigger
than myself, fighting for her.
(tribal flute music)
So with all due respect, I do not need you
to lecture me on right and wrong,
because right and wrong is
relative in these back lines.
(dramatic orchestral music)
(wind blowing)
Hello?
We're just looking for someone.
We're not here for you.
Hello, we're we're
looking for a young girl.
Have you seen anyone?
American?
No, she's French.
She doesn't speak, but she's French.
No, you, American?
- Oh yeah, I'm American, and
my friend here is from London.
- The Americans all left.
(speaking in foreign language)
I'm sorry.
It's just the two of us.
We're looking for a young
girl. Have you seen her?
(Diane speaking in foreign language)
Fuck.
Wait, please don't go.
We have been waiting for you to arrive.
Sorry buddy, we're on a mission.
Maybe so, but we need help.
Charles, we can't leave.
Remember what we're fighting for.
There are more causes than just your own.
They come, they take.
Very little remains
and somehow every day they come for more.
We are only a small
village growing smaller.
Now there is only me.
One person, my name is Gabriel.
Charles Taylor.
Diane Cole.
I see.
Where are the people?
They were taken, also.
My boy.
He was one of them.
Taken by them?
Oui.
Enlisted into the army?
I do not think so.
[Diane] Why?
I do not know.
One night they go to sleep.
When the morning comes, they are gone.
- Why would they be taking
people if not to the army?
I hear noises from that way.
Sometimes I hear Rene.
I hear his voice, but no one is here.
How long has it been this way?
(indistinct)
(indistinct) dogs.
What's that way?
I do not go to the woods, not anymore.
That's where I they come
from. (foreign phrase)
What's there?
Laboratoire, doctor.
The laboratory.
- We'd like to know
there was one this close.
Me and Mattie hailed
the ones in this area.
We were heading into Germany next.
Can you show us?
No. (foreign phrase)
[Diane] Please, we have to be certain.
Okay, perhaps.
But first come, I show
you where you can rest.
I have little food but
I can share with you.
- Thank you, but you don't have
to go to any effort for us.
- We have waited for
this time for five years.
We never thought this moment would come
when you will arrive.
It's a pleasure.
(somber piano music)
Is it my fault?
Is what your fault?
Mathilde ran away.
You really think that?
It's either me or you.
I heard you talking last night.
She likes you.
I don't know why, but she does,
and I appreciate what you said to her.
She's a strong kid but she is still a kid
and I forget that sometimes.
It's not you.
I saw how you are with her.
She looks up to you.
She wants you to be proud like
a daughter wants her father
to be proud of his little girl.
I guess she doesn't know her real father,
and probably never will.
You are the closest thing
to family she has right now.
It's daunting having that much
responsibility put upon you,
but you've proven without a doubt
that you are up to that task.
You were looking for gold and
you found a treasure instead.
Yeah.
Thank you.
I'm not that good at this stuff.
Ida was, you know, better
at that sort of thing.
What was she like?
She was,
you know,
French.
Did you love her?
- I don't know.
- It's okay to say it.
It wasn't exactly like that.
We were a crew, the four of us, you know,
I think less than four
and you're scrambling.
It was just the two of us
in the end, me and Mattie.
But we managed.
I'm here now.
Diane, I don't trust you.
That's fair, you don't know me.
And I'd be surprised if
you weren't cautious.
We're not going with you,
however much you want that to happen.
I don't want Mattie exposed
to that military garbage.
She's been through enough, more
than any kid should have to.
What is she?
She was an experiment.
People put through hell by
the Nazis to create an army of
super soldiers, adults and
children taken for experiments.
A lot of 'em didn't make it.
They tried different methods.
Some worked, some didn't.
She was actually dead,
and they brought her back to life.
Dead dead?
She took to it.
Somehow those bastards got it right.
But they couldn't control
her like they had planned.
She was unsusceptible to
their brainwashing techniques,
so they were just gonna dispose of her.
That kid has no one in the world
and they were just gonna
dispose of her.
I can't let anything happen to her, Diane.
I'm all she's got.
(tense music)
We won't let anything happen to her.
We'll find her.
Thank you.
(dark instrumental music)
(twigs snapping)
Jesus Christ.
- I never see anyone going
out, it's always quiet.
- Is this where you
think they take people?
Oui.
What do you make of it?
I don't know, this is big.
It looks like it was built
for a specific purpose.
The other laboratories were
just old buildings and farms,
this is something else.
I got a real bad feeling about this.
Me too.
- I don't see a way in
other than the front.
I doubt they'd have a back door.
We need to call HQ.
- No way. And have those
assholes take all the glory?
This isn't about glory, Charles.
This is about winning the war.
To you.
To me, it's about
finishing what was started,
reclaiming what Mattie and I lost,
ending this once and for all,
and I wanna make sure that it's done.
Who knows what those suits
back home are gonna do
if they get hold of this, of her?
War isn't just about
defeating your opponent
on an open chess board.
It's about stealing their
technology so you can be better,
second time around.
You're right.
If we don't end this,
then who knows what would
happen if any of it gets out.
Let's regroup.
We need a plan of attack, 'cause
this is not gonna be easy.
Tonight?
- We'll need more reconnaissance
if we're diving in.
I'll come back in a few hours.
Dead of night, sneak in closer,
check for any weaknesses.
Why not now?
It is not on here.
How old is that map?
It's the most recent one I swiped
from the last place we hit.
This is a very dark side to this war
that none of us were aware of.
I had no idea about any of this,
and I doubt my superiors do either.
Kidnapping, torture, experiments.
- It's not something
they want getting out.
We have spies in the Reich,
but somehow none of this
information has made it back to us.
- It's one hand that Hitler
kept close to his chest.
Anyone outside of that circle
doesn't have a clue what's going on.
I've questioned many soldiers
and I can only get the
smallest amount out of them.
You should have been a spy.
Me? I'm not built for subtlety.
If all else fails a fist works
just as good as diplomacy.
- Diplomacy is the
backbone of civilization.
Without that, we'd all be animals.
England, diplomatic,
I think you should reread
your history books.
You'll find a lot of prejudice,
oppression, genocide.
We've come a long way since then.
We can't live in the past
or bury our heads in the sand
without acknowledging wrongdoings
that one's ancestors did out of ignorance
or in pursuit of supremacy.
That's one way of looking at it.
Do you do this intentionally?
- Do what?
- Goad me.
I'm not goading you.
- Then why do you have
to be so argumentative?
I'm not being argumentative.
We're having a conversation
and you're getting flustered
By what I'm saying.
I'm not getting flustered.
Being defensive then?
I'm hardly being defensive.
You just did it again.
- You are the most difficult
man I have ever met.
Is this amusing?
It is actually.
Come on, the sooner we can finish up here,
the sooner we can get
back to finding Mattie.
Just watch what you say.
That mouth of yours has a mind of its own
and has probably gotten you into hot water
on more than one occasion.
Like I said, I'm not very diplomatic.
Tactless.
Hey, I have tact.
Not where it matters.
Now you listen here, missy.
(Gabriel alerting in foreign language)
(sign creaking)
(German speaking in foreign language)
(Gabriel speaking in foreign language)
(German speaking in foreign language)
(tense orchestral music)
(German grunting)
- Come on then.
- Yeah.
(German yelling in foreign language)
What the hell are you doing?
You can't shoot an unarmed soldier.
I like that.
You let them get away our cover's blown.
- Christ, did you learn
nothing in the army?
This puts us at a disadvantage.
I can't stand idly by
and watch you slaughter
an unarmed soldier.
- This is war. They're
a soldier, SS no less.
There are rules for a reason.
You Americans shoot first,
ask questions later.
That's not how we do things in Europe.
- What's gonna happen
now is they're gonna go
and give away our location
so we have no element of surprise.
Who knows how many more
they're gonna send?
Did you not think about that?
Fuck.
(dire orchestral music)
(German speaking in foreign language)
(dire orchestral music)
(gun firing)
It's time.
Yes.
(dramatic orchestral music)
(both speaking in foreign language)
You assured me that they are ready.
(underling speaking in foreign language)
We don't have time.
(high-tension orchestral music)
(German speaking in foreign language)
Are you ready to see what
my other kinder can do?
(high-tension orchestral music)
[Gabriel] What happens now?
- Who knows? But you
need to get out of here.
Who knows what they're gonna do next?
I will not leave my home.
You can't stay.
They will not force all of us away.
- You will be able to come
back when this is over,
but it's dangerous.
I will not leave.
With all due respect,
Diane, this is my home,
and the only way you'll
find me leaving this place
is when I'm mort.
- Well then we will have to
defend your home, friend.
Do you know how set up trip wires?
(sign creaking)
(dark piano music)
(sign creaking)
Anything?
Nothing.
Maybe he didn't alert them.
[Charles] He did.
Maybe they won't come today?
We can't take that chance.
- Can I say something,
if we don't make it.
[Charles] We'll make it.
But if we don't.
What is it?
(Diane spinning gun cylinder)
I wasn't completely honest with you.
I presumed that much. Which part?
I actually work for MI6.
Were you lying about that?
More of an omission.
Does that change anything?
No, I just want you to know
that I'm just a pencil-pusher or a skirt.
I can't imagine you in a skirt.
[Diane] You know what I mean?
I've seen you in a fight.
I did not think you were a skirt.
Thank you.
I didn't want you to have
the wrong impression of me.
What impression would that be?
That I'm just a woman.
What are we talking about exactly?
I'm a soldier first
and willingness fight
is my first prerogative.
As is mine.
But whatever happens now,
or further down the line,
I have my own conscience to contend with.
(dramatic orchestral music)
Are you trying to tell me something?
- Just remember that a
war can never be won,
only the fight before us,
and there will be many
more fights ahead of us.
You're not making any sense, Diane.
- Whatever happens, just
remember that I'm on your side.
You've opened my eyes to
something bigger here, Charles.
And I can see that there is more to this
than what I believed I knew,
but my duty comes first.
(knocking on wood)
Hold that thought.
Be ready.
How many?
I don't know yet, four, maybe five.
(tense music)
I don't like this.
Come out, come out.
American there.
What are you doing so far east?
Looking for you it would seem.
How comical.
I'm here to please.
I am Kurt Meyer.
Charles Taylor.
Ah.
The one they talk about?
One and the same.
- It is a pleasure to
make your acquaintance.
- What can I do for you in
this fine day, Kurt Meyer?
Where is the Frenchman?
Long gone.
Hightailed it before you got here.
He killed one of mine.
You've killed many of mine.
(Kurt laughing)
I have not killed anyone, yet.
Who are your little friends?
These, are my children.
You must have been a busy boy.
Very much so, in very little time.
- [Charles] A lot can happen
in a short amount of time.
Us Germans are very industrious.
War makes devils of us all.
And devils we all are, mein freund.
Give me the Frenchman,
and I will let you live.
Yeah, how come I don't believe that?
- This doesn't have to be
harder than it needs to be.
I gotta be honest with you.
You are not welcome here, Kurt Meyer.
I see you're a man of action.
I too am a man of action.
You know my tochter.
(suspenseful orchestral music)
Mattie?
What have you done?
Now!
(gun firing)
(bomb exploding)
(high-tension orchestral music)
(high-tension orchestral music)
(soldier roaring)
(high-tension orchestral music)
(Mattie beating soldier)
(soft piano music)
(gun firing)
Mattie?
You motherfucker!
For the fatherland.
(dark piano music)
Be careful.
What do I do?
Charles, what happened?
That snake in the grass.
How bad is it?
Bad.
We can get her inside.
Lift her on three.
One, two, three.
(tense drumming)
It's okay darling, it's okay.
Roll on to side.
Now.
Can you fix her?
I will try.
(Mattie crying)
(Mattie screaming)
We failed.
(high-tension orchestral music)
(German speaking in foreign language)
- This will not do, they
have to be stronger, faster.
They have to be like her.
What am I supposed to do.
Try harder. (grimacing)
(high-tension orchestral music)
I don't know how to thank you.
- No need American, I
only hope it is enough.
She is courageous.
She is.
Bravest little girl I have ever met.
- Fever's going down.
- That's good.
What was she doing with him?
[Charles] I don't know.
Did she turn?
I don't think so.
He called her his tochter.
A daughter.
Do you think that's true?
It can't be, not biologically.
He called all those things his children.
[Diane] But what if?
I don't want to think about that, Diane.
If Mattie is his daughter,
really his daughter,
where does that leave us?
- They look nothing alike.
- Exactly.
They cannot be affiliated by blood.
- What if there's something
else that binds them together?
Not blood, but something else?
[Charles] What are you saying?
They're potentially made the same way,
using the same procedure.
Maybe there's something
that connects them.
Why else would she go to him?
I don't know,
but he must be stopped.
We need to shut that place down.
Will you help us?
It would be an honor, American.
(dark piano music)
We go at first light.
(dark piano music)
I don't like leaving her here alone.
What if we don't make
it and they come back?
She'll be unprotected.
We'll have to make sure we finish this.
- I asked God, I tell
him to watch the girl.
Thank you.
We ready?
Wait.
What are you doing?
You need to rest.
You can't come with, Mattie.
You're not at full strength.
It's too dangerous.
Sorry, kiddo.
Let me protect you for a change.
That's my girl.
I'll be back before you know it.
I love you.
I know.
You'll be all right, kiddo.
Take care of her.
They will be expecting us.
I know.
What's the plan?
I'm gonna make him pay.
Just remember to keep your cool.
I don't want you running in there blind,
like a charging bull.
- Just worry about
yourselves, and keep up.
(guns firing)
(people shouting)
All right, they definitely
know we're here now.
Let's make this quick.
Find Kurt, eliminate him,
blow this place to kingdom come.
(dark music)
You go find Kurt.
We've got this.
You sure?
(Gabriel mumbling)
- Just be quick, we'll be
leaving this place soon.
Don't wait for me.
Get those charges set as soon as you can.
Roger.
(soldier breathing heavily)
(tense music)
(soldier growling)
(tense music)
(tense music)
Hello, Amerikanisch.
You have made little work of my kinder.
- [Charles] They don't
make 'em like they used to.
No matter.
They are not perfect yet.
That's where you're wrong.
There's one that is perfect in every way.
- You are talking about
the girl, Mathilde?
You do not get to say her name.
(soft orchestral music)
You must understand,
she betrayed me, as
she betrayed you first.
Are you not mad she left you?
(sentimental orchestral and vocal music)
(singer singing in foreign language)
We are
animals,
driven by instinct.
No more so than an animal that
has come back from the dead.
The end is not the final end, thankfully.
Conquering death has
eluded humanity for eons,
and we have conquered it.
Imagine, an army that cannot die,
an unstoppable force that
can regenerate its numbers.
And people call me crazy.
You will never understand that.
You will never understand that,
because no one will do that for you.
No one will bring you
back when you are tot.
I can think of a few people.
- You think only with
your heart, Amerikanisch,
and you act only with your fists.
If you were to join me,
I would make you unsterblich,
deathless,
immortal.
You're barking up the wrong tree, Jerry.
I have no intention of
joining you or anyone else.
I am one man living one life,
and when my time comes I will embrace it,
as any red-blooded American would.
I am not afraid of death,
but you should be.
And why is that?
- Because I'm gonna make this
very fucking painful for you.
If you apologize, maybe
I'll make it quick.
Apologize for what?
For hurting my little girl.
You mean killing her?
No.
You banged her up real bad. She's alive.
- That is not possible,
that was a mortal shot.
- I guess you're not as good
of a shot as you think you are.
(dramatic music)
You are pulling my leg off, no?
No.
But that can be arranged.
- We will see who is
the bigger devil here.
(dramatic orchestral and vocal music)
(tense drumming)
(tense drumming)
(fuse burning)
(dark music)
(tense drumming)
(bomb exploding)
(guns firing)
(bomb exploding)
(high-tension orchestral music)
Come out and fight.
That's was a lucky shot.
Luck had nothing to do with it.
Face me, you fucking pussy.
Give me ein minute.
All the time in the world
won't be enough to prepare
you for what's coming next.
(high-tension orchestral music)
(bomb exploding)
(bomb exploding)
I got you good, freund.
It seems we are on par.
I am one eye, you are left hand.
Makes a fair fight, don't you think?
Jawohl.
This time we count to five.
One,
two.
(gun firing)
Looks like you'll make a great addition
to my army, Amerikanisch.
(gun firing)
I told you I wasn't interested.
(Charles coughing)
Fuck.
(somber music)
(soft western music)
(dramatic orchestral music)
(dramatic orchestral music)
Where is he?
He will come.
[Diane] Charles.
Charles, what happened?
(taps playing)
We'll fix you up.
Nope, I'm not gonna make it.
Don't say that.
This is where I sign off.
You can't leave, not now.
Mathilde's waiting for you.
I need you to promise me something.
Charles, no.
You have to.
You need to take care of Mattie.
She needs you.
I wasn't gonna live forever, Diane.
I knew that.
You knew that.
Hopefully she knows that.
I need you to promise me,
promise me you'll keep her
away from them, all of them.
She's a child,
and she needs to be a child again,
not a sideshow attraction.
Charles.
- You have your own conscience
to contend with, Diane.
This war's pushed and pulled you, but
that young girl is still inside you,
the one that knows right from wrong.
Listen to her.
Listen to your heart,
it'll know what to do.
Can I count on you?
You can trust me.
Don't let her down.
[Diane] Wait, okay, Charles.
Can I count on you?
She's safe with me.
She deserves
better.
(mournful instrumental music)
[Diane] Charles?
(funereal instrumental music)
(taps playing on trumpet)
Do you not want to say goodbye?
You know you're a safe here, mon enfant.
I can take care of you.
I wish you could have met my Rene.
He was only a little
older than you are now
when he was taken.
My heart still hurts.
I am not perfect with after all this,
but what I mean to say is
it would be nice to have
someone here to help.
You do not have to, but
if you would like it,
you're welcome to stay.
I cannot imagine what you have seen,
but this is a chance for a new start,
a time to put down the weapons
and find some peace, you know?
I am so sorry, Mathilde.
He was a great man,
a good father.
I know.
(soft dramatic instrumental music)
(dramatic instrumental music)
(dramatic instrumental music)
(thunder rumbling)
(lightning cracking)
(thunder rumbling)
(footsteps approaching)
(thunder crashing)
(prisoner coughing)
You're wasting your time.
(captor laughing)
(captors speaking in foreign language)
(eerie music)
You put up a fight, ami.
- It's probably 'cause you're
a man here hits like a girl.
(captor smacking prisoner)
- So is only one girl who
does not hit like a girl.
And you'll never get her.
That's why you are wrong, ami.
It is a matter of time and
we have many time to wait.
- You can torture me all you
want and you'll never find her.
She's far away from here, somewhere safe.
(captor smacking prisoner)
(eerie music)
(prisoner coughing)
Can you guys just stop for a
minute and tell me something?
(captor speaking in foreign language)
How far do you think you'll get?
With you?
With the war you started?
We did not start this war.
Tomato. Tomato.
- We will not stop until the
whole world is Deutschland.
(prisoner coughing)
- I don't think you understand
how far this goes up.
The full force of the US Army
is on European soil right now,
backed by allies from all over the world.
You got us on one side and
the (indistinct) on the other
and you still think that you're
gonna win the World Series?
You speak silly, ami.
You think that because you have more money
that you can stop the fatherland?
You think that because you
bring more tanks and guns
that you can stop the Deutsche army.
The fatherland is not the
ground where you spill our blood
and dirty with your boots.
Sins in mind.
You think that only
because we are dead that we have lost.
We will never die.
The fatherland will live on forever
because the people will never let it die.
- Spoken like someone
who knows they've lost.
We have not lost yet, soldier.
We have many sleeve tricks in our hat.
(prisoner laughing and coughing)
This is funny?
- I'll overlook your bad
English if you tell me
what those sleeve tricks are.
[Lead Captor] But you will not be
alive for long, mein freund.
There is no reason to waste
oxygen telling you something
when we are the ones asking the questions.
(captor smacking prisoner)
Like I said, you can keep hitting me,
I'm not gonna tell you where she is.
[Lead Captor] Hmm, well,
perhaps we do not need to keep hitting you
to get the answers.
(captors mumbling)
What is this?
- [Lead Captor] Some things
that will make you sing
like you were on Broadway.
(light music)
(light instrumental music)
(victim grunting)
(light instrumental music)
(captor speaking in foreign language)
Don't you fucking dare.
It will only hurt a lot.
Now, you will no longer be
able to say the fuck to you.
(muffled speaking)
(light music)
(gun firing)
(German screaming)
Hey wait, stop.
Who are you?
(tense music)
I had that under control.
It doesn't look like it.
It was all a part of my plan.
Your plan was to get beaten up
and have your fingers ripped off?
Maybe.
Sounds like a good plan.
- [Prisoner] I was getting
information out him.
If I'd left you any longer
you would've had to hobble out of here.
Like I said, I had it all under control.
Now you listen here.
- [Person In Black] There
will be more of them, come on.
Hey, I do not need a chaperone.
- [Person In Black]
Can we argue about this
when we're not in the lion's den?
(German speaking in foreign language)
(soldier grunting)
(tense music)
(soft music)
(gun firing)
(soft music)
(light rock music)
(gun firing)
(light rock music)
(water flowing)
You are the one they talk about.
- Yeah, I did not need
your fucking help in there.
- If it weren't for me, you
wouldn't have enough fingers
to point even one at me.
I have a system, okay?
I give them a little, they give me a lot.
I almost had them too.
They were gonna tell me
everything I needed to know.
What are you talking about?
- And then you showed up
and ruined everything.
Are you listening to what you're saying?
Who cares if I lose a finger or two?
Okay, I can take it.
I've lost a lot more
since this war started.
Are you actually listening to the words
that are coming out of your mouth,
putting your life in danger?
- My life was hardly a danger.
- To what end?
I saved you, I expect some
more gratitude for that.
- [Soldier] I owe you nothing.
This is not a game, man.
This is a lot more serious than you think.
- You think I don't know
how serious this is?
You're late to the party, American.
I've been fighting this war
for four years in four countries.
I've seen my fair share
of sorrow, revenge, valor,
enough to last me a lifetime.
You're the one playing games here.
Toying with your life when
there are men out there
giving up everything to end this war
before it wipes out the whole of Europe.
- You don't understand
what's going on here.
- Enlighten me.
- What's the point?
- You seem to have it all
figured out, sending a girl.
Of her and this.
Does she do all your fighting for you?
I said don't.
There are rumors and stories.
I never thought I'd see her in the flesh.
- You have no clue what's going
on here, absolutely no clue.
- A killing machine got
the jerries quaking.
Kleiner Tod is what they
call her, Little Death.
Well thank you.
But I think we got from here.
You can run along now.
- My name's Diane.
- I never asked.
And I have to be honest.
I've been looking for you,
and her.
I work for the British War Ministry.
Yeah, I figured by your accent.
Can you just listen?
Have you gone deaf from spending
years in a tin can?
I was sent here as an
ambassador to find you two.
We intercepted so many
communications about you,
what you are doing,
how much you've done for the war effort
and how much more
- you could do.
- Wow.
You make me feel like Frank Sinatra.
If we could get you on board with us,
- Well we are not gonna
be getting on board
with anyone, okay?
I've had my fill of the
chain of command in this war.
I'm not going back to
being told what to do
by idiots that don't know what it's like
to look down the barrel
of a German machine gun.
Nothing like that.
We want information,
information that will help us win the war.
And somehow, you of all people,
seem to have more information
than those at the top.
That's because your people are too busy
sitting behind desks, looking at numbers,
not getting their hands stuck in the mud.
(soft piano music)
- I've seen the reports
about what happened to you.
What can you possibly know?
- Your crew.
- I don't have a crew.
I know.
(soft piano music)
- This is all very interesting
to hear about my failures,
but we actually have plans this evening.
There's a sublime French restaurant
a few miles down from here.
Sadly it's fully booked,
but they do the best or escargot in town,
so if you don't mind.
What are you looking for?
What do you mean?
You're after something.
No one has said it outright,
because I don't think anyone
on the ground actually knows.
And even if they do know, they
don't want it getting out.
But you are looking for
something behind the curtain.
It's about her, isn't it?
(somber piano music)
I don't know what to expect from her.
I don't know her.
She could be a spy.
Those Germans are sneaky mother-
She could just be putting
on that British accent.
Makes them better spies, you know?
That's how they infiltrate
to get information.
They lie.
They lie so much they believe that lie,
and then they don't even
know what's true anymore.
You know what I'm saying?
Just because she has that British accent
and can handle herself in a fight
does not mean that we can trust her.
Yeah.
I miss her, too.
That doesn't mean that the next person
can just come into our lives
and replace the hole that she left,
however much you want that to happen.
I don't think we need
another woman in our lives.
We have each other.
You and me kiddo.
(dramatic orchestral music)
Which reminds me,
I don't want you taking unnecessary risks.
Okay?
I was fine.
I know that you can swashbuckle your way
through a platoon like
they're toy soldiers but,
(somber orchestral music)
you're really important.
Okay?
A lot more important than me.
You heard what she said?
Little Death.
Oh, you like that, huh? Yeah?
Little Death.
Yeah, suits you, little
death, yeah. (laughing)
(glass breaking)
(soldier grunting)
(dark music)
Door was open.
Christ, I almost shot you.
Good thing you didn't.
It's abandoned, you can
tell from the outside.
Well next time it would be nice for you
to share that sort of information
before I break my neck
trying to get in here.
I tried, but you told me to be quiet.
Anyway, this will do for tonight.
Do you know how to build a fire?
I'll see if there's any food left in here.
I don't know what you're smiling about.
It's not gonna happen.
(fire puffing)
What do you like to eat?
Do you like potatoes?
Do you like carrots?
Rabbit?
Do you talk?
Is it because you can't?
You really are something
special, Mathilde.
Do you know that?
The stories I've heard,
I don't know if they're
true, but I hope they are.
Everyone is talking about you in London.
Do you know where London is?
London is the greatest city in the world.
Is it true you single-handedly
took on a German bunker by yourself?
They say there were a
hundred men in there,
armed to the teeth,
and you went in on your
own taking on two at a time
until every man was down,
cutting through them like butter.
I'm sorry to hear about Ida.
I know how much she meant to you.
It's okay to feel sad, and
it's okay to cry sometimes.
I know it doesn't mean much
coming from me, a stranger,
but I've lost people I care about too.
This war has taken some very
good people away from us.
I lost my brother in the blitz.
(dramatic piano music)
Do you know what that is?
Hitler wanted Britain so badly,
an island fortress for his own,
a year of constant bombing
raids almost every night
to raze us to the
ground, break our spirit.
But you can't break an Englishman's
spirit, not with force.
My brother was a pilot.
(soft piano music)
It takes a lot of courage
to get into a tin can
and fight against those Messerschmitts.
Those poor boys.
They gave everything
so we can have a home.
(dramatic orchestral music)
Every time they go up
we have to say goodbye
like it's the last time
we'll see them, every time.
He went up one day
and I never saw him again.
So I know what it's like.
Fire is ready.
Did you find any food?
- We found some, it'll
be ready in a minute.
Do you want to find some plates?
(fire crackling)
(tense music)
(Mathilde gasping)
(dark music)
(teakettle whistling)
(sinister music)
(Mathilde breathing heavily)
(Mathilde exhaling)
(soft piano music)
(soft piano music)
(solemn orchestral music)
(solemn orchestral music)
I didn't think you would come.
Do you know who I am?
You know you are surrounded.
If you try anything, they're ready.
Come inside.
(door closing)
(soft piano music)
You and I are not that dissimilar.
Cut from the same cloth,
born again.
(soft piano music)
We have come back from death,
and live to talk about it today.
What did you see?
I don't remember either.
But I have
visions
when my eyes are closed,
images that appear then
disappear when I open them.
(dramatic orchestral music)
There is no light, only darkness.
I have experienced the future.
The future I want to see become reality.
(dramatic orchestral music)
There is something in that darkness.
I strain to look.
My eyes do not see.
In that darkness
I feel.
I feel a glow,
a warmth.
The only heat.
I have experienced the future,
the future I want to see become reality.
(dramatic orchestral music)
My question,
would you like to see my future?
Our future, if you would like to join me.
(dark piano music)
(dramatic orchestral music)
(thunder rumbling)
(dramatic orchestral music)
(fire burning)
(person screaming)
(thunder rumbling)
(person screaming)
(dissonant music)
Mattie?
Mattie?
Mattie?
Mattie!
Mattie!
[Diane] What's going on?
Mathilde's missing.
Missing?
I can't find her anywhere.
Calm down, she has to be here somewhere.
No, something's not right.
(soft instrumental music)
(soft instrumental music)
(dramatic instrumental music)
(dramatic instrumental music)
We need to rest.
I can't rest.
You're going to burn yourself out.
I didn't ask you to come along.
I don't know where you got the idea
that you're welcome here.
We're on the same team
- here, Charles.
- But since you turned up,
things have started to go sideways.
We were fine just as we were.
We do not need your help.
You know what she's capable of.
Wherever she is, I'm
certain that she's fine.
She's not fine, she needs me.
Or is it the other way round?
We're a team.
- Look, I can see how
protective you are of her,
but there's one thing
you have to consider.
Once this is all over,
what will you do then?
She's not your daughter.
We're wasting daylight.
- Why are you so stubborn?
- I'm not stubborn.
I've read the reports,
and I can see why you didn't go back.
A piece of paper isn't gonna tell you
who the fuck I am, Diane.
- I can assure you it
wasn't a piece of paper,
it was a file as thick as
both my hands put together.
It doesn't mean anything.
It doesn't mean anything?
You are still a soldier
regardless of all the
good you are doing here.
What happened to you to make this person?
I was a boy.
Enlisted into a regime, told
what to do, day in, day out,
and how they said it was gonna be.
I have this itch that I can't
scratch and it burns me,
(tribal flute and drum music)
but this right here, what we're doing,
this scratches that itch.
This is my purpose,
and she needs me just
as much as I need her.
You can't come into our
lives, stir things up,
point out the obvious.
I know that she's not mine,
but she has a life too,
a purpose,
and I want her to live that life
remembering that someone cared enough
to give her everything she
wanted, pushed her, guided her,
showed the way things
could be, not as they are.
(dramatic orchestral music)
I'm not perfect,
but I'm trying to be better than I was.
This war
has broken me,
but I'm still here
fighting for something bigger
than myself, fighting for her.
(tribal flute music)
So with all due respect, I do not need you
to lecture me on right and wrong,
because right and wrong is
relative in these back lines.
(dramatic orchestral music)
(wind blowing)
Hello?
We're just looking for someone.
We're not here for you.
Hello, we're we're
looking for a young girl.
Have you seen anyone?
American?
No, she's French.
She doesn't speak, but she's French.
No, you, American?
- Oh yeah, I'm American, and
my friend here is from London.
- The Americans all left.
(speaking in foreign language)
I'm sorry.
It's just the two of us.
We're looking for a young
girl. Have you seen her?
(Diane speaking in foreign language)
Fuck.
Wait, please don't go.
We have been waiting for you to arrive.
Sorry buddy, we're on a mission.
Maybe so, but we need help.
Charles, we can't leave.
Remember what we're fighting for.
There are more causes than just your own.
They come, they take.
Very little remains
and somehow every day they come for more.
We are only a small
village growing smaller.
Now there is only me.
One person, my name is Gabriel.
Charles Taylor.
Diane Cole.
I see.
Where are the people?
They were taken, also.
My boy.
He was one of them.
Taken by them?
Oui.
Enlisted into the army?
I do not think so.
[Diane] Why?
I do not know.
One night they go to sleep.
When the morning comes, they are gone.
- Why would they be taking
people if not to the army?
I hear noises from that way.
Sometimes I hear Rene.
I hear his voice, but no one is here.
How long has it been this way?
(indistinct)
(indistinct) dogs.
What's that way?
I do not go to the woods, not anymore.
That's where I they come
from. (foreign phrase)
What's there?
Laboratoire, doctor.
The laboratory.
- We'd like to know
there was one this close.
Me and Mattie hailed
the ones in this area.
We were heading into Germany next.
Can you show us?
No. (foreign phrase)
[Diane] Please, we have to be certain.
Okay, perhaps.
But first come, I show
you where you can rest.
I have little food but
I can share with you.
- Thank you, but you don't have
to go to any effort for us.
- We have waited for
this time for five years.
We never thought this moment would come
when you will arrive.
It's a pleasure.
(somber piano music)
Is it my fault?
Is what your fault?
Mathilde ran away.
You really think that?
It's either me or you.
I heard you talking last night.
She likes you.
I don't know why, but she does,
and I appreciate what you said to her.
She's a strong kid but she is still a kid
and I forget that sometimes.
It's not you.
I saw how you are with her.
She looks up to you.
She wants you to be proud like
a daughter wants her father
to be proud of his little girl.
I guess she doesn't know her real father,
and probably never will.
You are the closest thing
to family she has right now.
It's daunting having that much
responsibility put upon you,
but you've proven without a doubt
that you are up to that task.
You were looking for gold and
you found a treasure instead.
Yeah.
Thank you.
I'm not that good at this stuff.
Ida was, you know, better
at that sort of thing.
What was she like?
She was,
you know,
French.
Did you love her?
- I don't know.
- It's okay to say it.
It wasn't exactly like that.
We were a crew, the four of us, you know,
I think less than four
and you're scrambling.
It was just the two of us
in the end, me and Mattie.
But we managed.
I'm here now.
Diane, I don't trust you.
That's fair, you don't know me.
And I'd be surprised if
you weren't cautious.
We're not going with you,
however much you want that to happen.
I don't want Mattie exposed
to that military garbage.
She's been through enough, more
than any kid should have to.
What is she?
She was an experiment.
People put through hell by
the Nazis to create an army of
super soldiers, adults and
children taken for experiments.
A lot of 'em didn't make it.
They tried different methods.
Some worked, some didn't.
She was actually dead,
and they brought her back to life.
Dead dead?
She took to it.
Somehow those bastards got it right.
But they couldn't control
her like they had planned.
She was unsusceptible to
their brainwashing techniques,
so they were just gonna dispose of her.
That kid has no one in the world
and they were just gonna
dispose of her.
I can't let anything happen to her, Diane.
I'm all she's got.
(tense music)
We won't let anything happen to her.
We'll find her.
Thank you.
(dark instrumental music)
(twigs snapping)
Jesus Christ.
- I never see anyone going
out, it's always quiet.
- Is this where you
think they take people?
Oui.
What do you make of it?
I don't know, this is big.
It looks like it was built
for a specific purpose.
The other laboratories were
just old buildings and farms,
this is something else.
I got a real bad feeling about this.
Me too.
- I don't see a way in
other than the front.
I doubt they'd have a back door.
We need to call HQ.
- No way. And have those
assholes take all the glory?
This isn't about glory, Charles.
This is about winning the war.
To you.
To me, it's about
finishing what was started,
reclaiming what Mattie and I lost,
ending this once and for all,
and I wanna make sure that it's done.
Who knows what those suits
back home are gonna do
if they get hold of this, of her?
War isn't just about
defeating your opponent
on an open chess board.
It's about stealing their
technology so you can be better,
second time around.
You're right.
If we don't end this,
then who knows what would
happen if any of it gets out.
Let's regroup.
We need a plan of attack, 'cause
this is not gonna be easy.
Tonight?
- We'll need more reconnaissance
if we're diving in.
I'll come back in a few hours.
Dead of night, sneak in closer,
check for any weaknesses.
Why not now?
It is not on here.
How old is that map?
It's the most recent one I swiped
from the last place we hit.
This is a very dark side to this war
that none of us were aware of.
I had no idea about any of this,
and I doubt my superiors do either.
Kidnapping, torture, experiments.
- It's not something
they want getting out.
We have spies in the Reich,
but somehow none of this
information has made it back to us.
- It's one hand that Hitler
kept close to his chest.
Anyone outside of that circle
doesn't have a clue what's going on.
I've questioned many soldiers
and I can only get the
smallest amount out of them.
You should have been a spy.
Me? I'm not built for subtlety.
If all else fails a fist works
just as good as diplomacy.
- Diplomacy is the
backbone of civilization.
Without that, we'd all be animals.
England, diplomatic,
I think you should reread
your history books.
You'll find a lot of prejudice,
oppression, genocide.
We've come a long way since then.
We can't live in the past
or bury our heads in the sand
without acknowledging wrongdoings
that one's ancestors did out of ignorance
or in pursuit of supremacy.
That's one way of looking at it.
Do you do this intentionally?
- Do what?
- Goad me.
I'm not goading you.
- Then why do you have
to be so argumentative?
I'm not being argumentative.
We're having a conversation
and you're getting flustered
By what I'm saying.
I'm not getting flustered.
Being defensive then?
I'm hardly being defensive.
You just did it again.
- You are the most difficult
man I have ever met.
Is this amusing?
It is actually.
Come on, the sooner we can finish up here,
the sooner we can get
back to finding Mattie.
Just watch what you say.
That mouth of yours has a mind of its own
and has probably gotten you into hot water
on more than one occasion.
Like I said, I'm not very diplomatic.
Tactless.
Hey, I have tact.
Not where it matters.
Now you listen here, missy.
(Gabriel alerting in foreign language)
(sign creaking)
(German speaking in foreign language)
(Gabriel speaking in foreign language)
(German speaking in foreign language)
(tense orchestral music)
(German grunting)
- Come on then.
- Yeah.
(German yelling in foreign language)
What the hell are you doing?
You can't shoot an unarmed soldier.
I like that.
You let them get away our cover's blown.
- Christ, did you learn
nothing in the army?
This puts us at a disadvantage.
I can't stand idly by
and watch you slaughter
an unarmed soldier.
- This is war. They're
a soldier, SS no less.
There are rules for a reason.
You Americans shoot first,
ask questions later.
That's not how we do things in Europe.
- What's gonna happen
now is they're gonna go
and give away our location
so we have no element of surprise.
Who knows how many more
they're gonna send?
Did you not think about that?
Fuck.
(dire orchestral music)
(German speaking in foreign language)
(dire orchestral music)
(gun firing)
It's time.
Yes.
(dramatic orchestral music)
(both speaking in foreign language)
You assured me that they are ready.
(underling speaking in foreign language)
We don't have time.
(high-tension orchestral music)
(German speaking in foreign language)
Are you ready to see what
my other kinder can do?
(high-tension orchestral music)
[Gabriel] What happens now?
- Who knows? But you
need to get out of here.
Who knows what they're gonna do next?
I will not leave my home.
You can't stay.
They will not force all of us away.
- You will be able to come
back when this is over,
but it's dangerous.
I will not leave.
With all due respect,
Diane, this is my home,
and the only way you'll
find me leaving this place
is when I'm mort.
- Well then we will have to
defend your home, friend.
Do you know how set up trip wires?
(sign creaking)
(dark piano music)
(sign creaking)
Anything?
Nothing.
Maybe he didn't alert them.
[Charles] He did.
Maybe they won't come today?
We can't take that chance.
- Can I say something,
if we don't make it.
[Charles] We'll make it.
But if we don't.
What is it?
(Diane spinning gun cylinder)
I wasn't completely honest with you.
I presumed that much. Which part?
I actually work for MI6.
Were you lying about that?
More of an omission.
Does that change anything?
No, I just want you to know
that I'm just a pencil-pusher or a skirt.
I can't imagine you in a skirt.
[Diane] You know what I mean?
I've seen you in a fight.
I did not think you were a skirt.
Thank you.
I didn't want you to have
the wrong impression of me.
What impression would that be?
That I'm just a woman.
What are we talking about exactly?
I'm a soldier first
and willingness fight
is my first prerogative.
As is mine.
But whatever happens now,
or further down the line,
I have my own conscience to contend with.
(dramatic orchestral music)
Are you trying to tell me something?
- Just remember that a
war can never be won,
only the fight before us,
and there will be many
more fights ahead of us.
You're not making any sense, Diane.
- Whatever happens, just
remember that I'm on your side.
You've opened my eyes to
something bigger here, Charles.
And I can see that there is more to this
than what I believed I knew,
but my duty comes first.
(knocking on wood)
Hold that thought.
Be ready.
How many?
I don't know yet, four, maybe five.
(tense music)
I don't like this.
Come out, come out.
American there.
What are you doing so far east?
Looking for you it would seem.
How comical.
I'm here to please.
I am Kurt Meyer.
Charles Taylor.
Ah.
The one they talk about?
One and the same.
- It is a pleasure to
make your acquaintance.
- What can I do for you in
this fine day, Kurt Meyer?
Where is the Frenchman?
Long gone.
Hightailed it before you got here.
He killed one of mine.
You've killed many of mine.
(Kurt laughing)
I have not killed anyone, yet.
Who are your little friends?
These, are my children.
You must have been a busy boy.
Very much so, in very little time.
- [Charles] A lot can happen
in a short amount of time.
Us Germans are very industrious.
War makes devils of us all.
And devils we all are, mein freund.
Give me the Frenchman,
and I will let you live.
Yeah, how come I don't believe that?
- This doesn't have to be
harder than it needs to be.
I gotta be honest with you.
You are not welcome here, Kurt Meyer.
I see you're a man of action.
I too am a man of action.
You know my tochter.
(suspenseful orchestral music)
Mattie?
What have you done?
Now!
(gun firing)
(bomb exploding)
(high-tension orchestral music)
(high-tension orchestral music)
(soldier roaring)
(high-tension orchestral music)
(Mattie beating soldier)
(soft piano music)
(gun firing)
Mattie?
You motherfucker!
For the fatherland.
(dark piano music)
Be careful.
What do I do?
Charles, what happened?
That snake in the grass.
How bad is it?
Bad.
We can get her inside.
Lift her on three.
One, two, three.
(tense drumming)
It's okay darling, it's okay.
Roll on to side.
Now.
Can you fix her?
I will try.
(Mattie crying)
(Mattie screaming)
We failed.
(high-tension orchestral music)
(German speaking in foreign language)
- This will not do, they
have to be stronger, faster.
They have to be like her.
What am I supposed to do.
Try harder. (grimacing)
(high-tension orchestral music)
I don't know how to thank you.
- No need American, I
only hope it is enough.
She is courageous.
She is.
Bravest little girl I have ever met.
- Fever's going down.
- That's good.
What was she doing with him?
[Charles] I don't know.
Did she turn?
I don't think so.
He called her his tochter.
A daughter.
Do you think that's true?
It can't be, not biologically.
He called all those things his children.
[Diane] But what if?
I don't want to think about that, Diane.
If Mattie is his daughter,
really his daughter,
where does that leave us?
- They look nothing alike.
- Exactly.
They cannot be affiliated by blood.
- What if there's something
else that binds them together?
Not blood, but something else?
[Charles] What are you saying?
They're potentially made the same way,
using the same procedure.
Maybe there's something
that connects them.
Why else would she go to him?
I don't know,
but he must be stopped.
We need to shut that place down.
Will you help us?
It would be an honor, American.
(dark piano music)
We go at first light.
(dark piano music)
I don't like leaving her here alone.
What if we don't make
it and they come back?
She'll be unprotected.
We'll have to make sure we finish this.
- I asked God, I tell
him to watch the girl.
Thank you.
We ready?
Wait.
What are you doing?
You need to rest.
You can't come with, Mattie.
You're not at full strength.
It's too dangerous.
Sorry, kiddo.
Let me protect you for a change.
That's my girl.
I'll be back before you know it.
I love you.
I know.
You'll be all right, kiddo.
Take care of her.
They will be expecting us.
I know.
What's the plan?
I'm gonna make him pay.
Just remember to keep your cool.
I don't want you running in there blind,
like a charging bull.
- Just worry about
yourselves, and keep up.
(guns firing)
(people shouting)
All right, they definitely
know we're here now.
Let's make this quick.
Find Kurt, eliminate him,
blow this place to kingdom come.
(dark music)
You go find Kurt.
We've got this.
You sure?
(Gabriel mumbling)
- Just be quick, we'll be
leaving this place soon.
Don't wait for me.
Get those charges set as soon as you can.
Roger.
(soldier breathing heavily)
(tense music)
(soldier growling)
(tense music)
(tense music)
Hello, Amerikanisch.
You have made little work of my kinder.
- [Charles] They don't
make 'em like they used to.
No matter.
They are not perfect yet.
That's where you're wrong.
There's one that is perfect in every way.
- You are talking about
the girl, Mathilde?
You do not get to say her name.
(soft orchestral music)
You must understand,
she betrayed me, as
she betrayed you first.
Are you not mad she left you?
(sentimental orchestral and vocal music)
(singer singing in foreign language)
We are
animals,
driven by instinct.
No more so than an animal that
has come back from the dead.
The end is not the final end, thankfully.
Conquering death has
eluded humanity for eons,
and we have conquered it.
Imagine, an army that cannot die,
an unstoppable force that
can regenerate its numbers.
And people call me crazy.
You will never understand that.
You will never understand that,
because no one will do that for you.
No one will bring you
back when you are tot.
I can think of a few people.
- You think only with
your heart, Amerikanisch,
and you act only with your fists.
If you were to join me,
I would make you unsterblich,
deathless,
immortal.
You're barking up the wrong tree, Jerry.
I have no intention of
joining you or anyone else.
I am one man living one life,
and when my time comes I will embrace it,
as any red-blooded American would.
I am not afraid of death,
but you should be.
And why is that?
- Because I'm gonna make this
very fucking painful for you.
If you apologize, maybe
I'll make it quick.
Apologize for what?
For hurting my little girl.
You mean killing her?
No.
You banged her up real bad. She's alive.
- That is not possible,
that was a mortal shot.
- I guess you're not as good
of a shot as you think you are.
(dramatic music)
You are pulling my leg off, no?
No.
But that can be arranged.
- We will see who is
the bigger devil here.
(dramatic orchestral and vocal music)
(tense drumming)
(tense drumming)
(fuse burning)
(dark music)
(tense drumming)
(bomb exploding)
(guns firing)
(bomb exploding)
(high-tension orchestral music)
Come out and fight.
That's was a lucky shot.
Luck had nothing to do with it.
Face me, you fucking pussy.
Give me ein minute.
All the time in the world
won't be enough to prepare
you for what's coming next.
(high-tension orchestral music)
(bomb exploding)
(bomb exploding)
I got you good, freund.
It seems we are on par.
I am one eye, you are left hand.
Makes a fair fight, don't you think?
Jawohl.
This time we count to five.
One,
two.
(gun firing)
Looks like you'll make a great addition
to my army, Amerikanisch.
(gun firing)
I told you I wasn't interested.
(Charles coughing)
Fuck.
(somber music)
(soft western music)
(dramatic orchestral music)
(dramatic orchestral music)
Where is he?
He will come.
[Diane] Charles.
Charles, what happened?
(taps playing)
We'll fix you up.
Nope, I'm not gonna make it.
Don't say that.
This is where I sign off.
You can't leave, not now.
Mathilde's waiting for you.
I need you to promise me something.
Charles, no.
You have to.
You need to take care of Mattie.
She needs you.
I wasn't gonna live forever, Diane.
I knew that.
You knew that.
Hopefully she knows that.
I need you to promise me,
promise me you'll keep her
away from them, all of them.
She's a child,
and she needs to be a child again,
not a sideshow attraction.
Charles.
- You have your own conscience
to contend with, Diane.
This war's pushed and pulled you, but
that young girl is still inside you,
the one that knows right from wrong.
Listen to her.
Listen to your heart,
it'll know what to do.
Can I count on you?
You can trust me.
Don't let her down.
[Diane] Wait, okay, Charles.
Can I count on you?
She's safe with me.
She deserves
better.
(mournful instrumental music)
[Diane] Charles?
(funereal instrumental music)
(taps playing on trumpet)
Do you not want to say goodbye?
You know you're a safe here, mon enfant.
I can take care of you.
I wish you could have met my Rene.
He was only a little
older than you are now
when he was taken.
My heart still hurts.
I am not perfect with after all this,
but what I mean to say is
it would be nice to have
someone here to help.
You do not have to, but
if you would like it,
you're welcome to stay.
I cannot imagine what you have seen,
but this is a chance for a new start,
a time to put down the weapons
and find some peace, you know?
I am so sorry, Mathilde.
He was a great man,
a good father.
I know.
