    [Pvt. Petrenko]

    [62nd Rifle Army]

    Reznov: Shhhhh... I need your help. Do what I say, and we can avenge this massacre.

    Pvt. Petrenko and Reznov crawl towards an opening in the fountain.

    Reznov: My injured hand means I can no longer aim. You will do it for me. Take my rifle and watch the road.

    Reznov: The mudak in the car is General Heinrich Amsel architect of Stalingrad's misery. He is responsible for the cold blooded murder of men, women and children... Not just here, but throughout the motherland. For three days I have hunted him. For three days luck alone has saved his wretched life. Sniping your enemy is like hunting any other animal. Fire at the wrong moment and your chance will be forever lost. Patience. If we reveal our position to Amsel's men, this fountain will be our grave. Now, load your rifle, but hold your fire. Wait until the bombers are directly overhead. The sound of their engines will drown out your shot.

    Reznov: Ready? SHOOT, NOW!

    Reznov: Again!

    Reznov: HA!

    Reznov: Straight ahead!

    Reznov: Excellent aim! You are a natural hunter.

    Reznov: Time to close in for the kill. This way.

    Reznov picks up a PPSh-41 sub-machine gun to replace his sniper rifle he gave the player. The player and Reznov leave the Square. An armored patrol, including a Panzer IV tank, slowly makes its way towards the two, unaware of their existence.

    Reznov: Chyort! (Damn!) Armored patrol... We must find another route to Amsel. Stay low, and follow me.

    As the German patrol gets nearer.

    Reznov: This way, before they discover their dead.

    Dimitri follows Reznov and enters a bar.

    The men are in the bar.

    Reznov: For days I have crept through shadows like a rat. This place once echoed with conversations of friends and lovers. No longer. Mark my words, Comrade... One day things will change. We will take the fight to their land... to their people... to their blood.
