|
| 00:02:06 |
Good morning. |
| 00:02:09 |
Morning. Back to work. |
| 00:02:18 |
November 27, 1937. |
| 00:02:21 |
They say the Japanese |
| 00:02:25 |
I just don't want to believe that. |
| 00:02:28 |
Typical Chinese propaganda. |
| 00:02:32 |
Except for a few |
| 00:02:36 |
I hope our leaving doesn't |
| 00:02:41 |
But should I go around... |
| 00:02:43 |
...telling everyone |
| 00:02:47 |
And was called to Berlin? |
| 00:02:50 |
Put me through to John Rabe. |
| 00:02:54 |
But still. |
| 00:02:57 |
...of leaving this alI behind |
| 00:03:02 |
Hello, Rabe household. |
| 00:03:04 |
No, no, no. That won't work. |
| 00:03:07 |
You've got to tilt the piano. |
| 00:03:09 |
What are you doing? Tilt it. |
| 00:03:11 |
- I'm telling you, it won't fit. |
| 00:03:14 |
- Yes, 20 years ago. |
| 00:03:18 |
Put it down, put it down. |
| 00:03:24 |
My God, |
| 00:03:28 |
December1. 1937. |
| 00:03:31 |
A large Japanese force lies in wait. |
| 00:03:33 |
just 70 km off Nanking. |
| 00:03:35 |
So says Chang, my Chinese driver. |
| 00:03:38 |
He won't say who told him. |
| 00:03:40 |
All the same, |
| 00:03:43 |
Japanese or no Japanese. |
| 00:03:45 |
Though it wouldn't be bad if Japan |
| 00:03:49 |
After all, |
| 00:03:52 |
- What about the hat? |
| 00:03:55 |
- We agreed, everything we haven't... |
| 00:03:59 |
- Do you still need insulin? |
| 00:04:06 |
When I'm dead. |
| 00:04:08 |
I know, then I can read your diary. |
| 00:04:11 |
I think I'll outlive you |
| 00:04:15 |
That's my tactic. |
| 00:04:21 |
Boss! |
| 00:04:23 |
Chang! How many times? Knock first. |
| 00:04:26 |
- But boss... |
| 00:04:29 |
We knock in this house. |
| 00:04:34 |
How can someone be so dumb. |
| 00:04:38 |
- There was a knock. |
| 00:04:42 |
We leave in two days. |
| 00:04:44 |
- It's the principle of the thing. |
| 00:04:50 |
Just has arrived Herr Fliess. |
| 00:04:53 |
What? Here already? |
| 00:04:57 |
Couldn't he call first. |
| 00:04:59 |
He call. |
| 00:05:01 |
But you not have time when I tell. |
| 00:05:06 |
Chang, |
| 00:05:10 |
Well, so that... |
| 00:05:11 |
So that it not rain into my neck. |
| 00:05:17 |
Quite right. |
| 00:05:22 |
Herr Fliess. |
| 00:05:24 |
I'm John Rabe. Welcome to Nanking. |
| 00:05:27 |
- Heil Hitler. |
| 00:05:29 |
Hope you had a good journey. |
| 00:05:31 |
This is Herr Han. |
| 00:05:35 |
Heil Hitler. |
| 00:05:38 |
Welcome to Nanking. |
| 00:05:40 |
Heil Hitler. |
| 00:05:45 |
You wouldn't believe |
| 00:05:49 |
Not long enough it seems. |
| 00:05:54 |
Not the left. |
| 00:05:56 |
Right hand. Right hand! |
| 00:06:00 |
The Chinese are like children. |
| 00:06:02 |
You have to teach them, |
| 00:06:06 |
You have to be able to spot |
| 00:06:11 |
You have to see it at first glance. |
| 00:06:14 |
That, for example, |
| 00:06:21 |
Those are our W-923 systems. |
| 00:06:24 |
We provide |
| 00:06:28 |
Over 15 million people. |
| 00:06:33 |
The population is growing so rapidly... |
| 00:06:36 |
...that we'll hit our capacity soon |
| 00:06:41 |
How does it feel |
| 00:06:46 |
Siemens sends me to China, |
| 00:06:49 |
Siemens wants me in Berlin, |
| 00:06:53 |
It sounds as if you'd rather stay. |
| 00:06:58 |
That's the control unit |
| 00:07:01 |
You could call it |
| 00:07:05 |
Impressive, |
| 00:07:09 |
But so much work, |
| 00:07:12 |
For Siemens. |
| 00:07:16 |
You haven't been told? |
| 00:07:20 |
Rabe, Germany is taking a new course. |
| 00:07:24 |
What's that supposed to mean? |
| 00:07:27 |
There isn't going to be a dam. |
| 00:07:30 |
Siemens Nanking is to be phased out. |
| 00:08:52 |
What the hell! |
| 00:09:10 |
We've wiped out the Chinese here. |
| 00:09:13 |
Our armored divisions... |
| 00:09:15 |
...are proceeding to the west. |
| 00:09:18 |
We are now preparing |
| 00:09:21 |
Who is leading the advance? |
| 00:09:23 |
Major Ose, Your Imperial Highness. |
| 00:09:31 |
A great undertaking |
| 00:09:35 |
Yes, sir. |
| 00:09:37 |
But young men |
| 00:09:43 |
Your report, Major. |
| 00:09:51 |
This is our position. |
| 00:09:53 |
My troops |
| 00:09:57 |
And |
| 00:10:00 |
We will surround Nanking |
| 00:10:04 |
This way |
| 00:10:07 |
...and force the city to surrender. |
| 00:10:10 |
Major. |
| 00:10:11 |
Have you ever |
| 00:10:16 |
No, Your Highness. |
| 00:10:18 |
You don't encircle an elephant, |
| 00:10:21 |
wear it out or force it to surrender. |
| 00:10:24 |
Either you kill it, |
| 00:10:27 |
Is that clear. |
| 00:10:43 |
Dora? |
| 00:10:49 |
My God! What are you doing in here? |
| 00:10:51 |
- What are you doing in here? |
| 00:11:09 |
Have I forgotten |
| 00:11:12 |
I know how hard it is for you |
| 00:11:16 |
You don't know that. |
| 00:11:18 |
Okay, perhaps I don't. |
| 00:11:21 |
But I do know |
| 00:11:24 |
Nobody. |
| 00:11:26 |
And that's why I made you this cake. |
| 00:11:29 |
- Gugelhupf. |
| 00:12:26 |
Shujuan, a little to the left. |
| 00:12:47 |
Welcome to the Nanking NS group. |
| 00:12:50 |
I'm Krüger, group president. |
| 00:12:52 |
I'll introduce you to the others. |
| 00:12:54 |
This way, please. |
| 00:12:57 |
- And that's mine, gentlemen. |
| 00:13:02 |
This is the NS group? |
| 00:13:04 |
We're not all here yet, but... |
| 00:13:08 |
And what is that? |
| 00:13:12 |
Bernd. |
| 00:13:15 |
No, leave it. I'll do it. |
| 00:13:18 |
We share the room with the... |
| 00:13:21 |
With the English Veterans Club. |
| 00:13:24 |
How dare you... |
| 00:13:26 |
- Hello everybody! |
| 00:13:29 |
Ah, you must be the new one? |
| 00:13:33 |
Please excuse my tardiness. |
| 00:13:36 |
But I brought you something. |
| 00:13:38 |
Cinnamon rolls. They're still warm! |
| 00:13:42 |
That's unbelievable. |
| 00:13:44 |
Did you really join the Pa¤... |
| 00:13:46 |
...to eat pastries |
| 00:13:49 |
No! We have talks too. |
| 00:13:51 |
The conditions you tolerate here |
| 00:13:56 |
And that is the flag we sent you |
| 00:14:00 |
You haven't even opened it. |
| 00:14:02 |
We'd need to build a tower, |
| 00:14:09 |
If you were real National Socialists, |
| 00:14:12 |
you would have done just that. |
| 00:14:29 |
Here too. |
| 00:15:01 |
Why's that, Dr. Xu? |
| 00:15:10 |
To pull out now |
| 00:15:14 |
China is the market of the future. |
| 00:15:17 |
There is no war yet, |
| 00:15:21 |
then they'll need electricity too, |
| 00:15:26 |
You can't close Nanking |
| 00:15:29 |
I set the whole thing up myself. |
| 00:15:31 |
Herr Lehmann, I... |
| 00:15:33 |
Herr Lehmann? |
| 00:15:51 |
- They're closing Nanking down. |
| 00:15:55 |
They can. |
| 00:16:00 |
They haven't promoted me. |
| 00:16:04 |
They kicked me upstairs. |
| 00:16:06 |
They tricked me. |
| 00:16:09 |
And the dam... |
| 00:16:12 |
It would have been my legacy. |
| 00:16:16 |
And then that Fliess comes along. |
| 00:16:19 |
- That awful little cretin. |
| 00:16:23 |
Look at me, please. |
| 00:16:27 |
This is our last night. |
| 00:16:30 |
Not Fliess, not Siemens |
| 00:16:33 |
And certainly not you. |
| 00:17:00 |
Your Excellency. What an honor. |
| 00:18:08 |
- What a toady. |
| 00:18:10 |
I have always liked him. |
| 00:18:12 |
You've had no dealings with him. |
| 00:18:33 |
I wonder what awaits us in Berlin. |
| 00:18:35 |
Christmas. |
| 00:18:37 |
Café Kranzler. |
| 00:18:40 |
Marzipanstollen. |
| 00:18:44 |
A daily newspaper |
| 00:18:47 |
Proper bread and butter. |
| 00:18:50 |
And beds that aren't too short. |
| 00:18:54 |
Did you know |
| 00:18:58 |
Even after 27 years. |
| 00:19:01 |
Yes, I do know that. |
| 00:19:03 |
You conceited thing! |
| 00:20:49 |
Dora! Dora! |
| 00:20:52 |
Everybody out! Get out of the room! |
| 00:20:55 |
Out! |
| 00:21:35 |
Open the gate! |
| 00:21:46 |
Open it! Open the gate! |
| 00:21:57 |
Go, go, go! |
| 00:22:16 |
Come on! Quick! |
| 00:22:32 |
Han! |
| 00:22:36 |
Which idiot had the gate closed? |
| 00:22:41 |
That idiot would be me. |
| 00:22:45 |
Open the gate! |
| 00:22:48 |
- Keep it closed. |
| 00:22:51 |
They'll be killed! |
| 00:22:53 |
- My concern is the plant. |
| 00:22:56 |
Open the gate! |
| 00:23:02 |
Dora, you take the women and children. |
| 00:23:05 |
Come on! Quick, quick! |
| 00:23:09 |
Quick! Come on! That way! |
| 00:23:13 |
You're going to regret this, Rabe. |
| 00:23:17 |
I'll be happy to regret this. |
| 00:23:19 |
Women and children! Quick! |
| 00:23:22 |
Come on! This way! |
| 00:23:25 |
Rabe! |
| 00:23:27 |
I swear... |
| 00:23:39 |
Where's the flag? |
| 00:23:41 |
- What for? |
| 00:23:44 |
It's in the trunk of the car. |
| 00:23:46 |
Han! |
| 00:23:49 |
- Are you mad? |
| 00:23:59 |
- Chang, come here! |
| 00:24:03 |
Over there! Quick! |
| 00:24:09 |
Everyone, under the flag! |
| 00:24:25 |
Come on, run! This way. Quick! |
| 00:24:32 |
Come on! |
| 00:24:36 |
Come on! Quick! |
| 00:25:11 |
They're going away. |
| 00:25:22 |
We did it. |
| 00:25:26 |
They're leaving. |
| 00:25:28 |
They're leaving! |
| 00:26:50 |
There are just too many to cope with! |
| 00:26:53 |
Nine shot in the stomach. |
| 00:26:55 |
One in the head. |
| 00:26:58 |
Enough. Crying won't help. |
| 00:27:27 |
- Where is Dr. Xu? |
| 00:27:33 |
Lucky they only hit the guard house. |
| 00:27:36 |
I want this hole filled in. |
| 00:27:40 |
Han, check the plant for damage... |
| 00:27:43 |
...and check the turbine functions. |
| 00:27:45 |
I want a report |
| 00:27:48 |
Yes, sir. |
| 00:27:51 |
- Chang. |
| 00:27:53 |
You're to reinforce the sheds... |
| 00:27:55 |
...to make provisional shelter. |
| 00:27:57 |
Is that clear? |
| 00:27:59 |
Boss, I'm driver. |
| 00:28:01 |
And without shelter... |
| 00:28:03 |
...you'll be a dead driver soon. |
| 00:28:06 |
Herr Fliess. |
| 00:28:16 |
Stop. Stop the car. |
| 00:28:20 |
Close the gate! Close it! |
| 00:28:33 |
The early bird catches the worm, eh? |
| 00:28:36 |
Get out of the car. |
| 00:28:49 |
- Open the trunk. |
| 00:28:51 |
May I remind you, |
| 00:28:55 |
You're talking to the new director |
| 00:28:59 |
- I don't remember handing over. |
| 00:29:03 |
You've been busy enough |
| 00:29:06 |
What are your plans |
| 00:29:10 |
Considering |
| 00:29:13 |
the plant |
| 00:29:17 |
And what about the workers? |
| 00:29:19 |
They will be contacted. |
| 00:29:21 |
- Should we resume business. |
| 00:29:25 |
- Files? Accounting books? Contracts? |
| 00:29:29 |
German efficiency. |
| 00:29:31 |
A good plan, Herr Fliess. |
| 00:29:33 |
It's just a pity your contract |
| 00:29:38 |
The day after tomorrow. |
| 00:29:40 |
If you doubt me, look in the trunk. |
| 00:29:42 |
The contract must be with the papers. |
| 00:29:45 |
German efficiency. |
| 00:29:47 |
That may be so. |
| 00:29:49 |
- But you have no say here anymore. |
| 00:29:54 |
And you have no say here, yet. |
| 00:29:57 |
But somebody has to have a say here, |
| 00:30:02 |
Han? |
| 00:30:05 |
Han. |
| 00:30:12 |
Tell him to open the car trunk. |
| 00:30:16 |
Herr Fliess, |
| 00:30:32 |
And now tell him |
| 00:30:36 |
his access to the company grounds |
| 00:30:40 |
He'll stay in the guest apartment. |
| 00:30:46 |
- Herr Fliess... |
| 00:30:55 |
Herr Fliess. |
| 00:30:59 |
The apartment is over there. |
| 00:31:11 |
I'm sorry. |
| 00:31:16 |
If the Führer knew |
| 00:31:19 |
It's just ridiculous. |
| 00:31:21 |
I know you mean well. |
| 00:31:24 |
Someone has to look after it. |
| 00:31:26 |
- Someone, but not you. |
| 00:31:32 |
- And where are my fried eggs? |
| 00:31:38 |
December 4. 1937. |
| 00:31:41 |
As the Japanese shells |
| 00:31:46 |
I open the gates |
| 00:31:51 |
Women and children crouch |
| 00:31:54 |
under the huge German flag, |
| 00:31:58 |
The flag is said to be bombproof. |
| 00:32:01 |
The Japanese |
| 00:32:04 |
They hold their fire |
| 00:32:08 |
Very honorable. |
| 00:32:14 |
Hurry up there! |
| 00:32:20 |
What is all this? |
| 00:32:22 |
The refugees can't stay |
| 00:32:25 |
That's company grounds. |
| 00:32:28 |
So they're staying in our yard? |
| 00:32:30 |
Yes, exactly. |
| 00:32:37 |
This way. Bring it over this way. |
| 00:33:00 |
"The Japanese soldiers |
| 00:34:00 |
The Chinese took the bait. |
| 00:34:35 |
Congratulations, Major. |
| 00:34:39 |
You'll make |
| 00:34:44 |
But I ask myself, |
| 00:34:47 |
why is it that I give orders |
| 00:34:51 |
and you arrive with thousands? |
| 00:34:54 |
Please forgive me. |
| 00:34:57 |
- Your Highness. |
| 00:35:05 |
So, Major. |
| 00:35:06 |
What do you propose? |
| 00:35:10 |
Your Highness. |
| 00:35:13 |
It would be extremely difficult |
| 00:35:16 |
to execute that many prisoners. |
| 00:35:20 |
Is that so? |
| 00:35:22 |
Furthermore, |
| 00:35:25 |
I believe such executions... |
| 00:35:27 |
...could be considered to be illegal. |
| 00:35:30 |
Illegal? |
| 00:35:36 |
I am entrusting you personally |
| 00:35:38 |
with resolving |
| 00:35:42 |
I want no prisoner |
| 00:35:47 |
We will also shell the city center. |
| 00:35:52 |
Nanking must experience |
| 00:42:54 |
Attention! |
| 00:42:58 |
On your feet! |
| 00:43:03 |
Now you are going |
| 00:44:35 |
December 5. 1937. |
| 00:44:39 |
I never thought that a single day |
| 00:44:41 |
could have changed my life completely. |
| 00:44:45 |
To stay or to go. |
| 00:44:48 |
To play the hero or steal away. |
| 00:44:53 |
And what shall I tell Dora? |
| 00:45:22 |
You're not asleep. |
| 00:45:24 |
Neither are you. |
| 00:45:27 |
The difference is, I can't sleep. |
| 00:45:32 |
Tell me what thoughts are inside |
| 00:45:39 |
What life holds |
| 00:45:44 |
You think everyone is like you. |
| 00:45:47 |
Those poor devils |
| 00:45:50 |
...are just happy to be in your yard. |
| 00:45:53 |
They're happy |
| 00:46:14 |
I am the way I am. |
| 00:46:16 |
I know. |
| 00:46:42 |
Do you remember, |
| 00:46:45 |
27 years ago, |
| 00:46:48 |
what we promised one another? |
| 00:46:51 |
Remind me how old was I back then? |
| 00:46:55 |
19. |
| 00:46:58 |
Yes, I remember. |
| 00:47:05 |
And? |
| 00:47:16 |
Now and forever, come what may. |
| 00:47:21 |
And do you still mean it? |
| 00:47:24 |
The statute of limitations may be up. |
| 00:47:30 |
But yes, I mean it, |
| 00:47:33 |
now and forever, |
| 00:47:36 |
come what may. |
| 00:48:56 |
This way. |
| 00:49:01 |
Quick, come on. |
| 00:49:15 |
Keep moving! |
| 00:49:19 |
Stay with me, Dora. |
| 00:49:21 |
Did you really |
| 00:49:33 |
Just stay with me. |
| 00:49:45 |
Out of the way! Get out of the way! |
| 00:50:05 |
Let me through. Just let me through! |
| 00:50:17 |
Stop! |
| 00:50:38 |
You're not coming. |
| 00:50:52 |
Take care of yourself. |
| 00:51:37 |
I love you. |
| 00:51:52 |
I'll come later. |
| 00:53:01 |
Dora! |
| 00:53:58 |
Boss. |
| 00:54:01 |
Go on. I'm staying here. |
| 00:54:03 |
It's too dangerous. |
| 00:54:14 |
Han, I know you mean well. |
| 00:54:19 |
If I'm hit, all the better. |
| 00:54:25 |
Now go, before I get angry. |
| 00:56:08 |
December11, 1937. |
| 00:56:12 |
Suddenly. people are flooding... |
| 00:56:14 |
...the gates of our zone |
| 00:56:17 |
News of the zone |
| 00:56:21 |
We can hardly handle the influx. |
| 00:56:25 |
Even the Japanese ambassador. |
| 00:56:27 |
Mr. Fukuda. |
| 00:58:26 |
December13, 1937. |
| 00:58:29 |
We're stilI transporting rice in |
| 00:58:33 |
The zone needs flour. salt. firewood, |
| 00:58:36 |
medicine. utensils and blankets... |
| 00:58:38 |
...before the Japanese get here. |
| 00:58:40 |
We have to be well prepared, |
| 00:58:42 |
for we'll be cut off from the world. |
| 00:58:47 |
The Japanese |
| 00:58:50 |
As well as armored divisions |
| 00:58:54 |
If an army |
| 00:58:57 |
they mean to raze it. |
| 00:58:59 |
But perhaps this is mere child's play... |
| 00:59:02 |
...compared to what a new world war... |
| 00:59:05 |
...would mean in Europe. |
| 00:59:10 |
The Chinese soldiers who haven't left |
| 00:59:15 |
They want to defend Nanking, |
| 00:59:18 |
A completely pointless |
| 00:59:26 |
Why have you ended the siege |
| 00:59:32 |
Forgive me, General. |
| 00:59:34 |
Answer my question, Major! |
| 00:59:39 |
His Imperial Highness gave the order. |
| 00:59:47 |
Lieutenant General... your report! |
| 00:59:50 |
My nephew, the Emperor, |
| 00:59:54 |
wants a swift victory. |
| 00:59:56 |
A modern war. |
| 00:59:58 |
One that shows Japan's superiority. |
| 01:00:02 |
The advance can't be stopped. |
| 01:00:04 |
Tonight we will attack Nanking. |
| 01:00:10 |
Hello? Hello? |
| 01:00:20 |
What's going on here? |
| 01:00:30 |
- What's going on? |
| 01:00:33 |
Then do something. Fix them. |
| 01:00:35 |
And set up lines to the exchange. |
| 01:01:07 |
Send news: Nanking has fallen. |
| 01:01:53 |
Out of the way! |
| 01:01:58 |
Get out of here! |
| 01:02:21 |
Quick! Quick! |
| 01:02:28 |
Shut up! |
| 01:02:30 |
What are you doing here? |
| 01:03:02 |
- Search in there. |
| 01:03:09 |
Two of you search that room. |
| 01:03:15 |
Check it. |
| 01:03:32 |
We found him. |
| 01:03:42 |
Onwards. |
| 01:05:22 |
December15, 1937. |
| 01:05:25 |
Feeding the zone's 200.000 people... |
| 01:05:27 |
...is getting ever more difficult. |
| 01:05:29 |
Our various appeals to the Japanese... |
| 01:05:32 |
...to allow more rice into the zone... |
| 01:05:34 |
...have remained unanswered. |
| 01:05:45 |
We alI hope the diplomats |
| 01:05:49 |
Rosen believes only |
| 01:05:53 |
...will curb Japanese aggression. |
| 01:09:38 |
- Forward! |
| 01:09:41 |
Attention! |
| 01:09:45 |
To the prisoners camp, march! |
| 01:12:57 |
December19, 1937. |
| 01:13:00 |
Bodies lie in piles before the gates. |
| 01:13:03 |
The Japanese won't touch them. |
| 01:13:06 |
And we aren't allowed to do so. |
| 01:13:10 |
We Europeans |
| 01:13:13 |
The executions are rampant. |
| 01:13:16 |
Sometimes |
| 01:13:19 |
At the Army Ministry. |
| 01:13:29 |
To the Führer of the German people. |
| 01:13:35 |
My Führer. |
| 01:13:38 |
As a loyal party member |
| 01:13:41 |
I turn to you in a time of great need. |
| 01:13:46 |
The Japanese Imperial troops... |
| 01:13:48 |
...conquered the city of Nanking |
| 01:13:55 |
Since then I have witnessed... |
| 01:13:57 |
...atrocious crimes against civilians. |
| 01:14:04 |
Please help to end this catastrophe, |
| 01:14:07 |
and make an appeaI |
| 01:14:10 |
...in the name of humanity. |
| 01:14:38 |
With a German salute. |
| 01:17:16 |
Your Highness, his wife survived. |
| 01:18:01 |
You have to stay in the car. |
| 01:18:06 |
I don't understand Japanese. |
| 01:18:09 |
Get back in the car. |
| 01:18:11 |
Should I get in the car? |
| 01:18:14 |
I said back in the car! |
| 01:18:16 |
I could get back in the car. |
| 01:18:18 |
Take your hat off. |
| 01:18:21 |
Take your hat off! |
| 01:19:55 |
Damn it. |
| 01:20:28 |
Move on! Move on! |
| 01:20:57 |
Boss! Boss! |
| 01:21:00 |
I'm in here! |
| 01:22:06 |
- Have them line up. |
| 01:22:09 |
Everybody stand up |
| 01:22:12 |
Stand up! Go over there! |
| 01:22:15 |
Quickly! Quickly! |
| 01:22:17 |
Quickly! |
| 01:22:57 |
- Ask if anybody speaks German. |
| 01:23:00 |
Raise your hand if you speak German. |
| 01:23:15 |
- Front and center. |
| 01:23:18 |
Come to the front! |
| 01:23:42 |
Do you understand me? |
| 01:23:47 |
Say something. |
| 01:23:50 |
Just say something. Anything. |
| 01:23:53 |
Say something. |
| 01:24:39 |
You. |
| 01:24:57 |
Children? You. |
| 01:25:05 |
You. |
| 01:31:22 |
December 21, 1937. |
| 01:31:26 |
We're cut off from the outside wo¤d. |
| 01:31:29 |
No post, telegrams |
| 01:31:33 |
Nothing works anymore. |
| 01:31:35 |
I never thought |
| 01:31:38 |
weighing one against another. |
| 01:31:41 |
Is it better |
| 01:31:43 |
to hand over a few hundred soldiers |
| 01:31:47 |
not knowing if it will help at all? |
| 01:31:51 |
Or to stand one's ground? |
| 01:31:55 |
There is no answer. |
| 01:33:16 |
Hi. |
| 01:33:20 |
How did your hair get so short? |
| 01:33:23 |
Got cut off. |
| 01:33:36 |
Where is she then? |
| 01:33:40 |
- Who is it? |
| 01:33:42 |
- Is she in here? |
| 01:33:45 |
- There's no girl here! |
| 01:33:57 |
- What did I tell you? |
| 01:34:01 |
Nice haircut. |
| 01:34:04 |
Come on then. |
| 01:34:07 |
Just you wait. |
| 01:34:10 |
Who do you think you are? |
| 01:34:15 |
Not so fast. |
| 01:34:21 |
- Spread her legs. |
| 01:34:25 |
Just calm down. |
| 01:34:27 |
Keep her still, will you! |
| 01:34:35 |
Keep quiet. |
| 01:35:00 |
Be quiet there! |
| 01:35:02 |
Quiet! Stop there! |
| 01:35:13 |
We're Germans. |
| 01:35:15 |
Germans. We're Germans. |
| 01:35:18 |
Help me out here, damn it! |
| 01:35:20 |
Heil... Shitler. |
| 01:35:24 |
Heil Shitler. |
| 01:35:27 |
- That's not funny. |
| 01:35:30 |
All the same, |
| 01:35:33 |
And shall I tell you |
| 01:35:36 |
Yes, what is it? |
| 01:35:38 |
It also concerns... |
| 01:35:40 |
...the so-called Führer. |
| 01:35:42 |
- Listen here... |
| 01:35:45 |
An ambassador and foreign minister, |
| 01:35:50 |
Simply because my grandfather, |
| 01:35:53 |
Beethoven's best friend, no less, |
| 01:35:55 |
My father couldn't die |
| 01:36:00 |
That's not funny. |
| 01:36:04 |
After years as embassy councillor. |
| 01:36:06 |
I should be glad to even be alive. |
| 01:36:08 |
Do you think that's funny? |
| 01:36:13 |
Heil Shitler. |
| 01:36:29 |
Why do we have to bury him? |
| 01:36:31 |
It's our duty. |
| 01:36:33 |
I hated him. |
| 01:36:36 |
He is still our father. |
| 01:36:38 |
Not being buried |
| 01:36:42 |
Well, he deserves it. |
| 01:36:48 |
Hold the candle. |
| 01:37:11 |
I hated him. |
| 01:37:16 |
Forgive him. |
| 01:38:28 |
He has orders to fill the hole |
| 01:38:32 |
- With corpses? |
| 01:38:41 |
Are you all right? |
| 01:38:44 |
Yes, I'm fine. Don't worry. |
| 01:38:49 |
An officer. |
| 01:39:04 |
Lieutenant. |
| 01:39:05 |
These people are hindering our work. |
| 01:39:22 |
Come on! |
| 01:39:44 |
Listen, we have to split up. |
| 01:39:46 |
Run in there. Quick! |
| 01:40:20 |
It's me, Langshu. |
| 01:40:43 |
Ssh! It's me, Langshu. |
| 01:40:49 |
- Quick! Help me! |
| 01:40:53 |
- Search from top to bottom. |
| 01:41:07 |
Quick, get into bed! |
| 01:42:26 |
- Wait outside. |
| 01:44:04 |
Onwards! |
| 01:45:36 |
December 23, 1937. |
| 01:45:39 |
Tomorrow is Christmas. |
| 01:45:43 |
We're at the end of our rope. |
| 01:45:45 |
We can't maintain |
| 01:45:50 |
I used to say. "Never stop. |
| 01:45:53 |
it will stop on its own. " |
| 01:45:55 |
And that |
| 01:46:03 |
I've decided |
| 01:46:07 |
What else are they good for? |
| 01:46:10 |
Now that Dora is no longer with us. |
| 01:49:10 |
December 24, 1937. |
| 01:49:15 |
I've celebrated every Christmas |
| 01:49:20 |
With a Christmas tree. |
| 01:49:25 |
And Dora's famous Gugelhupf cake. |
| 01:49:30 |
I don't regret staying behind. |
| 01:49:36 |
But I haven't words for my grief. |
| 01:52:31 |
We have been questioning |
| 01:52:35 |
Hundreds of soldiers |
| 01:52:39 |
We could close the security zone. |
| 01:52:43 |
So what are you waiting for? |
| 01:52:52 |
The zone must be cleared... |
| 01:52:54 |
...before the diplomats... |
| 01:52:58 |
...and the press return to Nanking. |
| 01:53:00 |
Or the whole world will hear about it. |
| 01:53:03 |
That's an order! |
| 01:56:41 |
December 25, 1937. |
| 01:56:45 |
News that Prince Asaka |
| 01:56:48 |
...did not take long to get around. |
| 01:56:50 |
Hundreds of people |
| 01:56:54 |
...to block the entrance. |
| 01:56:57 |
They're prepared to risk their lives |
| 01:57:01 |
Their time is up. |
| 01:57:03 |
Clear the zone, damn it! |
| 01:57:06 |
Reinforcements? |
| 01:57:09 |
This is ridiculous. |
| 01:57:47 |
Reinforcements for what? |
| 01:58:00 |
Battle order! |
| 01:58:11 |
- Load. |
| 01:58:29 |
- Aim. |
| 01:58:56 |
Your Highness, let us shoot. |
| 01:59:52 |
Aim! |
| 02:00:46 |
Stand down. |
| 02:00:50 |
- Stand down! |
| 02:00:56 |
Unload your weapons! |
| 02:01:00 |
Order arms! |
| 02:01:05 |
To the left! |
| 02:01:09 |
Quick march! |
| 02:01:43 |
December 29, 1937. |
| 02:01:46 |
In front of the diplomats |
| 02:01:51 |
But this victory was the end of us. |
| 02:01:54 |
The committee was forced to step down. |
| 02:01:57 |
We handed over most of our photos |
| 02:02:02 |
who destroyed them before our eyes. |
| 02:02:04 |
And I... |
| 02:02:06 |
I have to leave the city today. |
| 02:02:09 |
But I will see Dora again. |
| 02:02:12 |
It almost seems like a miracle. |
| 02:02:15 |
The struggle is over. |
| 02:05:11 |
Thank you. |
| 02:05:17 |
Good luck. |
| 02:05:40 |
Clear out! |
| 02:06:06 |
Rabe is coming! |
| 02:06:29 |
Goodbye! Goodbye! |
| 02:07:45 |
Far more than 200,000 people... |
| 02:07:48 |
...survived the Rape of Nanjing |
| 02:07:52 |
Nevertheless the number of victims |
| 02:07:55 |
Censuses revealed that at least |
| 02:08:02 |
Until the present day |
| 02:08:05 |
...has refused to officially acknowledge |
| 02:08:11 |
On his return to Germany, |
| 02:08:13 |
John Rabe was arrested as |
| 02:08:16 |
He was forbidden to report |
| 02:08:19 |
His diaries were confiscated and |
| 02:08:23 |
After the war... |
| 02:08:26 |
...John Rabe was at first refused |
| 02:08:30 |
Forgotten and impoverished, |
| 02:09:58 |
Based on true events |
| 02:10:02 |
Inspired by JOHN RABE |
