Last Valley The

en
00:03:29 Go away, we don't want beggars here.
00:03:32 I'm not a beggar, I'll pay...
00:03:35 for food and lodging for the night.
00:03:37 If you want to pay,
00:03:41 give me a horse,
00:03:44 or stop this stinking war.
00:03:46 Go away or we'll drive you away.
00:03:48 I'll work or write letters...
00:03:50 or tell you about
00:03:53 I need only a little food.
00:03:55 Can't you see we are starving? Go away.
00:03:59 Live, die. What difference does it make?
00:04:02 Jesus has forsaken us. Go away.
00:07:59 Plague.
00:12:39 Where are the others?
00:12:42 I don't know, I came here alone.
00:13:01 Not a soul, Captain, except this bastard.
00:13:05 Where are your friends?
00:13:08 And where are your cattle?
00:13:13 Wake him up.
00:13:18 I don't know.
00:13:21 I came here alone this morning after food.
00:13:25 I've never seen this valley before.
00:13:27 That won't do. Speak fast.
00:13:32 Two ears are better than 40, Captain.
00:13:34 You can't bargain with me.
00:13:36 I can crush you and your village
00:13:41 That's what I want to talk to you about.
00:13:47 Break open every house.
00:13:49 Gather all we can use in that barn...
00:13:51 nothing in your own saddlebags.
00:13:55 We'll round up the peasants...
00:13:57 and fire the village at leisure.
00:14:01 Korski, over there. You, come with me.
00:14:05 I don't like secrets.
00:14:10 You can come, too, Korski.
00:14:27 Well?
00:14:29 There's famine all over Germany...
00:14:31 plague, pestilence, even now...
00:14:34 and winter's coming.
00:14:37 In 10, 20 years,
00:14:41 I don't answer uestions.
00:14:43 Take their grain and cattle,
00:14:46 I'm tiring of you. Come to your point.
00:14:50 I'm there now, Captain.
00:14:52 Take all this food back to your army,
00:14:58 Why such waste?
00:15:01 Winter here, occupy the valley.
00:15:04 What?
00:15:06 Winter here.
00:15:08 Live while your army dies.
00:15:10 You'll never get another chance like this.
00:15:12 Is this scum asking us to desert?
00:15:17 Is that it?
00:15:19 A soldier has no future and no past...
00:15:22 and a full belly covers the present.
00:15:24 You talk too much, and not like a peasant.
00:15:28 What are you? A stinking priest?
00:15:31 I don't know which side you're on, Captain.
00:15:35 But I'll wager half your men don't care.
00:15:41 What of those who do care?
00:15:50 Get rid of them.
00:16:04 Good ideas are rare these days.
00:16:08 Very rare.
00:16:11 You are a priest on the run?
00:16:13 No, I was a teacher.
00:16:15 - What's your name?
00:16:19 Captain. Where are you from?
00:16:22 From nowhere, everywhere, Captain.
00:16:26 Yes, I have almost forgotten...
00:16:30 where I was born, also.
00:16:36 You have fever?
00:16:40 No, it's nothing.
00:16:42 Didn't you say, "Get rid of them"?
00:16:45 Yes, but it was so sudden.
00:16:48 And clean.
00:16:49 One moment alive, one moment dead.
00:16:55 You philosophers are such hypocrites.
00:17:00 I only do what is necessary.
00:17:04 No more.
00:17:05 If to kill is necessary,
00:17:11 Now, make peace
00:17:17 Peasants hate soldiers, Captain.
00:17:22 I'm not a soldier or a peasant.
00:17:25 I could speak to them
00:17:28 I can help.
00:17:31 You'll need help. I'll be very useful.
00:17:42 I'll give you two days to prove it.
00:17:51 No more looting, Captain?
00:17:55 No.
00:17:56 We eat the place at leisure
00:18:00 Spring?
00:18:01 We'll eat while the army starves.
00:18:04 By the Madonna,
00:18:07 with good food, decent women,
00:18:15 Where's Korski?
00:18:19 Where else would Korski be, but on watch?
00:18:22 We found the valley, other patrols could.
00:18:26 That's right, Captain.
00:18:28 What about our women?
00:18:30 Yes, I have a wife and family back there.
00:18:32 What about the army and the baggage train?
00:18:35 Listen to Hansen...
00:18:38 plenty of women
00:18:41 Has it ever been different?
00:18:43 And isn't one as good as another?
00:18:48 But we've been winning all year.
00:18:50 How much pay we got?
00:18:54 I say we stay. It's a good valley. A miracle.
00:18:57 I say it stinks of Satan.
00:19:00 You stink of Satan.
00:19:09 How else could it be like this?
00:19:13 Perhaps we've been led
00:19:29 Then it's agreed?
00:19:30 - Yes.
00:19:32 I've got a woman back there.
00:19:40 First, I want to hear what Korski says.
00:19:45 Korski will know what's right.
00:19:56 Graf, take him to join Korski.
00:19:59 Yes, Captain. Come on.
00:20:03 Move.
00:20:23 Remember, be careful
00:20:28 This ambush must be perfect,
00:20:33 But what about that, Captain?
00:20:35 It stays. Untouched.
00:20:37 But we burn all churches on raids.
00:20:41 Yes, but this time, we must bend the rule.
00:20:44 Catholic or Protestant,
00:20:48 This time, we need the peasants to work.
00:20:51 That church must be an exception.
00:20:54 But it stinks of Satan.
00:20:57 It's the breeding place of evil.
00:21:00 So it will burn.
00:21:03 Stop him.
00:21:11 Get away, or you'll join Shutz and Korski.
00:21:19 Lord Jesus, help me to strike down
00:21:26 Papist scum!
00:21:27 The church stays.
00:21:29 Anti-Christ.
00:21:32 Devil worshipper.
00:21:33 Ours is the true faith, by God,
00:21:36 Blasphemer!
00:21:38 Death to the anti-Christ!
00:21:52 Make your peace with your God.
00:21:55 Mercy, Captain.
00:21:58 Our first rule...
00:22:00 is no religious uarrels among ourselves.
00:22:04 He who breaks it is a dead man.
00:22:09 Let him also be an exception.
00:22:12 Let the church stay, but let him
00:22:18 Yes, give him uarter.
00:22:33 Let one man escape that rule...
00:22:35 and we'll all be dead by sundown.
00:22:39 You all swore holy oaths to fight as a unit...
00:22:42 and sell your skill to the winner,
00:22:47 Protestants may build if they wish
00:22:52 Vornez, Geddes, Tub...
00:22:56 burn him along with the others.
00:23:47 - Go on. Run along.
00:24:02 Go to your homes. Go.
00:24:33 Vornez!
00:24:37 I said no killing.
00:24:49 Who will speak for all of you?
00:24:58 - Here, you.
00:25:01 It should be Gruber.
00:25:09 Where is he?
00:25:12 Captain...
00:25:13 let him take me to Gruber.
00:25:16 I'll speak to him for you, if you wish.
00:25:21 And then you'll come back? Like a lamb.
00:25:24 Within the hour,
00:25:28 You and Pirelli.
00:25:29 You take him to Gruber.
00:25:37 You can all...
00:25:44 You can all go to your homes.
00:25:49 You are safe for the moment.
00:25:51 Why not kill us all now and be done with it?
00:25:53 - Butchers!
00:25:57 Be patient, puppy. Wait your turn to die.
00:26:08 What is your name?
00:26:12 Erica Torfield.
00:26:15 Which is your husband?
00:26:28 Why trust him?
00:26:32 I trust no one.
00:26:47 My name is Vogel.
00:26:48 I bring a message from the Captain.
00:26:51 I persuaded them
00:26:53 - There's about 20 of them.
00:26:58 Do you have pains in your throat,
00:27:02 Is it hard to swallow?
00:27:04 He has plague?
00:27:11 The Captain undertakes to protect
00:27:15 on condition that he and his men
00:27:20 The power of Jesus Christ
00:27:25 We don't need any soldiers here.
00:27:28 The Captain is a reasonable man.
00:27:31 If you accept, nothing will be looted.
00:27:35 Your women won't be tampered with.
00:27:38 No one will be hurt.
00:27:41 If not, your valley will die.
00:27:43 Enough talk.
00:27:45 If the Captain will keep discipline, I agree.
00:27:56 What has changed that we need soldiers?
00:27:58 The soldiers are here, Father.
00:28:03 Our Lady of the Shrine will rid us of them.
00:28:07 In good time, Father, in good time.
00:28:13 Is he unclean?
00:28:32 I have plague?
00:28:34 Do you think you'd be here,
00:28:37 You're sure?
00:28:38 You have had a palsy. You're safe now.
00:28:41 Drink some more, it will help you get better.
00:28:47 I had terrible dreams.
00:28:49 You talked in your sleep.
00:28:52 You seemed to be talking
00:28:56 I can't remember. I dreamed that I was dead.
00:29:01 You would have been
00:29:04 They brought you here.
00:29:09 I feel born again. Thank you.
00:29:11 Your clothes are filthy.
00:29:14 Why are you so kind to me?
00:29:16 Because we think you're worth caring about.
00:29:19 Thank you.
00:29:21 And the village?
00:29:24 All is peaceful?
00:29:25 No!
00:29:28 We're soldiers, by God. We take what
00:29:31 That's what we've always done.
00:29:35 The next time you oppose me, Hansen...
00:29:40 I will slit your tongue.
00:29:52 The penalty for rape...
00:29:55 will be public castration.
00:29:59 And for looting?
00:30:02 What is your pleasure, Father?
00:30:05 Blinding.
00:30:08 How else do we protect our homes,
00:30:12 Very well.
00:30:14 For Catholics, blinding.
00:30:17 For the rest, 100 lashes...
00:30:19 all provided my men
00:30:24 There are two or three widows
00:30:27 Eight.
00:30:30 Or perhaps two dozen
00:30:35 Four, then.
00:30:36 Six, and they had better be worthy...
00:30:39 and the place worthy.
00:30:41 And you, Father...
00:30:44 you will give them
00:30:49 I obey God's orders, not your orders.
00:30:52 Of course, but why not sell them...
00:30:55 your holy indulgence...
00:30:57 a total remission for past and future sins...
00:31:01 which you could pay for?
00:31:06 Six. Widowed, married, or unmarried.
00:31:11 You have two days.
00:31:23 What are you doing here?
00:31:24 I was treating someone
00:31:27 You said to treat all without favor.
00:31:31 I asked her to see him, Father.
00:31:36 Good night, Erica. Thank you.
00:31:52 So the philosopher is risen from the dead.
00:31:56 He was ready to die, he should have died.
00:31:59 Why wasn't I told that he was here?
00:32:01 Perhaps they didn't want my soup poisoned.
00:32:04 What are you, Lutheran Protestant,
00:32:08 blasphemous Anabaptist,
00:32:12 That's unimportant.
00:32:16 I even have Catholics, Father...
00:32:20 which brings me to the shrine near the pass.
00:32:24 Our Lady of the Shrine has guarded
00:32:28 Many of my men think
00:32:32 that should be torn apart
00:32:35 Touch the shrine...
00:32:37 and you will burn in hellfire for all eternity...
00:32:41 - and your entrails will be eaten with worms.
00:32:44 That shrine is pointing at the village
00:32:47 Touch one stone...
00:32:50 and God will smite you.
00:32:53 But before that, we will rise up.
00:32:55 We will rise up...
00:32:57 and stamp you to oblivion.
00:33:07 How have you survived so long?
00:33:09 For almost six months of the year,
00:33:12 the road is blocked, we are safe.
00:33:15 These mountains are cruel,
00:33:20 Few come this way.
00:33:22 How he got in, only God knows.
00:33:25 So, where could the shrine be moved to?
00:33:33 Stay here. Vogel.
00:33:55 Here, beside the rock.
00:33:58 Good. Very good.
00:34:03 We keep our lookout up there.
00:34:05 A lookout is enough if your plan is to hide.
00:34:08 We fight for our valley.
00:34:20 Captain...
00:34:24 don't move the shrine. It saved the valley.
00:34:26 A shrine is still a shrine 30 paces off.
00:34:29 Other villages had mountains
00:34:33 but that didn't save them.
00:34:34 Other villages had shrines.
00:35:01 Hurry.
00:35:35 In your name...
00:35:38 Holy Mother, in your name.
00:35:50 I'm sick of this pig-swill.
00:35:51 By the blood of Christ, Korski'd never let
00:35:55 Korski'd be king.
00:35:57 Not a weak-gutted lackey.
00:35:59 Korski's dead.
00:36:01 Yes, I'm sorry I let him die.
00:36:04 Sorry I sided with the Captain.
00:36:07 - I'm as good a soldier as him.
00:36:09 Korski was a turd.
00:36:11 Be patient.
00:36:13 This Captain's clever and strong.
00:36:16 The best I ever served with...
00:36:18 and we get the women tomorrow.
00:36:20 We'll get bags. The pox on this place.
00:36:24 There's good women in the camp, wine,
00:36:28 I've a kid back there. Who'll look after him?
00:36:31 He'll be there next spring.
00:36:33 If not, you can make another.
00:36:38 You know, they say that
00:36:43 We're blessed with luck to be here.
00:36:46 I'm for staying a week.
00:36:57 - Sorry, Father, I'm late.
00:37:00 Yes, Father.
00:37:02 Good.
00:37:08 They say you can read and write.
00:37:11 I studied at the university in Heidelberg.
00:37:14 Then I taught there. The town was sacked.
00:37:17 Your family were
00:37:21 No, at Magdeburg.
00:37:24 I envy you, seeing so many places
00:37:28 You needn't.
00:37:29 Before I was your age, I had seen two
00:37:35 Sit down.
00:37:41 It's years since I've seen bread so rich.
00:37:44 The harvest was good.
00:37:46 Our Lady is pleased for us to share it.
00:37:50 How do you earn your daily bread?
00:37:53 Work. Any form of work except soldiering.
00:37:57 I can paint a little...
00:37:58 I can teach writing, history, mathematics.
00:38:02 I can speak Spanish, Italian, French.
00:38:04 Father Sebastian teaches here.
00:38:07 We've no need for writing
00:38:10 Works of the devil.
00:38:12 Why did you lead the soldiers here?
00:38:15 I didn't.
00:38:17 I was trying to get away...
00:38:20 from all soldiers.
00:38:22 Some men are good luck, some bad.
00:38:25 You are bad luck.
00:38:27 - Your soldiers will kill our valley.
00:38:32 Peasants, landowners, and soldiers.
00:38:34 You are a fool as well as bad luck.
00:38:41 Tonight, you are alive
00:38:45 Bless your luck.
00:38:47 Our Lady protects us, not luck.
00:38:53 Here, Vogel, eat.
00:38:57 Father, Vogel was there when he was young.
00:38:59 Once, he saw a real pope
00:39:04 Your pardon, "Meister" Hoffman.
00:39:09 But, is it true about Inge?
00:39:11 Yes. Come, sit down.
00:39:13 Eat with us, share our joy.
00:39:17 Vogel is going to tell us about the Holy City.
00:39:19 But, it was always planned
00:39:23 Eternal salvation is better
00:39:26 Sit down.
00:39:29 Salvation?
00:39:31 I'm to be one of the women for the soldiers.
00:39:34 If you were going to be a nun, to serve God,
00:39:40 But this, it's not right.
00:39:43 It's whoring.
00:39:45 Has Satan put a spell on you?
00:39:46 You heard what Father Sebastian said:
00:39:49 "Their suffering would save the village
00:39:53 Yes, I heard him.
00:39:55 But that doesn't make him right.
00:39:58 Get out of my house!
00:40:05 You offered her?
00:40:08 They are to get a holy indulgence.
00:40:10 Gruber is paying for it.
00:40:13 If he pays the church in land,
00:40:17 What father would not want
00:40:38 Captain, can I speak to you?
00:40:45 It's about Inge, Hoffman's daughter.
00:40:50 Refuse her, accept another in her place.
00:40:53 - You want to take away her salvation?
00:40:58 Gruber has agreed
00:41:02 - What is your counsel?
00:41:06 The priest doesn't agree.
00:41:08 Gruber is our only guarantee
00:41:13 They are all frightened of him,
00:41:18 What Gruber says must be done, is done.
00:41:22 No one can control this valley as he can.
00:41:27 No one is rich enough or shrewd enough...
00:41:32 or has his courage.
00:41:35 It is not wise to make an enemy of Gruber.
00:41:39 Or you.
00:41:40 Or Graf, Hansen, Hoffman,
00:41:44 Gruber was right.
00:41:47 From tomorrow, you are appointed judge...
00:41:50 between soldier and peasant for all cases.
00:41:53 I'm the last person to do that.
00:41:56 Gruber agrees
00:41:59 We will both back you.
00:42:01 I'll be hated by everybody
00:42:04 A few days ago, life was impossible.
00:42:08 Now you want it to be easy.
00:42:10 I want a rest. Time.
00:42:14 You're on borrowed time now, Judge.
00:42:19 So is the village, the whole valley.
00:42:24 It's all doomed.
00:42:29 And the girl?
00:42:31 She is trouble.
00:42:34 So are you.
00:42:42 The Captain wants you.
00:42:45 You'll protect me?
00:42:47 I could kill him easily.
00:42:49 But that would destroy our world.
00:42:51 Only he keeps them
00:42:56 Then kill them all while they sleep.
00:42:59 We haven't the weapons.
00:43:02 There's too many, they're too clever.
00:43:04 Some patrol while others sleep.
00:43:07 Then put hemlock in their food.
00:43:11 Perhaps.
00:43:13 But not yet, not until the snows.
00:43:16 Why?
00:43:17 They found us, so others can.
00:43:19 We need them to protect us.
00:43:28 Open the door.
00:43:34 Open it.
00:43:55 She will not be one of the women
00:43:58 Of course. The others are for my men.
00:44:04 It is a pity that you are involved with her.
00:44:09 However, you are involved.
00:44:16 How do we decide this?
00:44:26 Dice. Fetch them, Erica.
00:44:33 If I win, you'll leave her alone
00:44:37 - Agreed.
00:44:39 Highest score.
00:44:41 If eual,
00:44:45 If you lose...
00:44:47 you accept that she is mine?
00:45:02 Agreed.
00:45:05 Seven.
00:45:24 Seven and nine are sixteen.
00:45:32 Ten and three are thirteen.
00:45:43 Sixteen and six make twenty-two.
00:46:04 What do the dice read, Erica?
00:46:17 Six and five.
00:46:50 Bar the door.
00:47:33 Father! Quickly!
00:47:38 What happened to your face?
00:47:40 There were some feathers flying last night,
00:47:44 We get the women at sunset.
00:47:46 That'll put an end to the violence.
00:47:48 - Who's that?
00:47:51 He truly thinks
00:47:55 Father, the Captain's
00:48:01 The Captain's moving the shrine.
00:48:06 That priest.
00:49:02 This way leads out of the valley.
00:49:06 I'm going to the shrine.
00:49:07 You're going back to the village,
00:49:13 Leave it.
00:49:17 Stop, in God's name.
00:49:29 Run.
00:49:31 Stop him.
00:49:35 The next time,
00:49:38 - I'll get them.
00:49:42 Take this man to the Captain.
00:49:44 Martyrdom is not as useful
00:49:47 Christ saved the world by suffering.
00:49:49 And was it necessary?
00:49:51 You blaspheme.
00:49:52 No. The politicians put him to death.
00:49:56 How many men do you think
00:49:59 We're not concerned for the shrine,
00:50:01 but because it's a symbol of faith.
00:50:05 Beg God's forgiveness.
00:50:07 Does 30 paces make such a difference
00:50:10 Yes. And you were warned.
00:50:12 We have not harmed the shrine.
00:50:14 It is exact, stone by stone.
00:50:17 You were warned. Confess your sins.
00:50:19 Prepare for hellfire and God's wrath.
00:50:22 And the devil's.
00:50:24 Any shrine in this world
00:50:29 Priests are better on their knees,
00:50:34 Idol worshipper.
00:50:36 He's a priest. So he worships nothing.
00:50:40 Can I slit his throat now?
00:50:45 Captain, uick.
00:50:47 They're moving the shrine.
00:51:12 Better cut around them. Too many to stop.
00:51:17 We'll talk. We did what was necessary,
00:51:23 Get ready.
00:51:26 and watch out for that devil's whelp, Julio.
00:51:29 We can cut around and get the horses.
00:51:31 No time. We have the advantage.
00:51:34 You talk. I'll see that he doesn't.
00:51:37 No.
00:51:39 Father...
00:51:42 you will talk on my behalf...
00:51:47 or make your peace with your God
00:51:52 There will be no uarter,
00:51:59 And you will be castrated
00:52:46 Did they touch the shrine, Father?
00:52:48 Don't be afraid, Father. We are soldiers
00:52:55 Did they touch the shrine?
00:53:00 Yes!
00:53:01 Our Lady has been taken to another place.
00:53:05 You're all going to die...
00:53:08 and Satan walks the earth.
00:53:19 The shrine has not been harmed.
00:53:25 Listen, give thanks to Our Lady.
00:53:29 She protected us again.
00:53:36 Our Lady has protected
00:53:40 We all know that.
00:53:42 But that didn't prevent you
00:53:45 nor planting forests,
00:53:50 nor hiding when soldiers came...
00:53:52 nor concealing your fowl,
00:53:54 nor keeping lookouts at the pass.
00:53:57 I am a Catholic, too.
00:54:01 I had a dream last night.
00:54:06 I dreamed...
00:54:09 that I was near the shrine...
00:54:13 and a regiment of soldiers
00:54:18 There was a sprinkling of snow
00:54:23 They were huge and evil...
00:54:25 and they looked towards the shrine.
00:54:29 But as they looked...
00:54:32 the shrine vanished.
00:54:35 So the soldiers went their way
00:54:38 and never came back.
00:54:41 By hiding herself,
00:54:49 I am glad the Captain has moved
00:54:53 Isn't that what the dream said to do?
00:54:56 You wouldn't defy a dream, would you?
00:55:05 You're lying.
00:55:07 He never had a dream.
00:55:10 Go to the shrine. See for yourselves.
00:55:16 Is he telling the truth, Father,
00:55:28 I don't know.
00:55:30 Do we go to the shrine?
00:55:36 Do we go to the shrine, Father?
00:55:42 Where is there to go?
00:55:59 Pirelli, lead the way.
00:56:11 You are not to be one of the women
00:56:15 - She's the one I want.
00:56:57 You wanted to see me?
00:57:00 Did you really dream that dream?
00:57:06 What's real, and what isn't?
00:57:10 Once, I thought I knew.
00:57:14 Now I know I don't.
00:57:16 The true church is real.
00:57:20 That we're all going to die soon
00:57:26 Before God, did you tell the truth?
00:57:30 Before God, what is the truth?
00:57:33 That millions are dead and more will die...
00:57:35 because the Pope wars
00:57:38 who wars on the Catholic King of France,
00:57:43 who wars on Catholic Germany...
00:57:46 all helped by Protestants.
00:57:48 Helped by a hundred other princes,
00:57:52 all for their own rotten purposes.
00:57:55 Nothing is simple.
00:58:00 You ask uestions only God can answer.
00:58:03 God is an excuse that's used too often.
00:58:05 You blaspheme.
00:58:07 Life exists because of a divine pattern.
00:58:11 You must have faith and believe...
00:58:13 or you will cast your immortal soul
00:58:16 Look at your own soul, priest.
00:58:19 I do. And I look to those in the valley.
00:58:23 All of them.
00:58:25 I am the shepherd of this flock.
00:58:29 Since you came here,
00:58:32 I feel it.
00:58:36 But soon, Our Lady will give me a sign...
00:58:39 and then I will know what to do.
00:59:16 Very pretty.
00:59:33 That's mine.
01:00:00 This valley is so peaceful.
01:00:04 It would be easy to become possessed by it.
01:00:08 Does it make you feel
01:00:14 Don't talk to me of God.
01:00:16 We killed God at Magdeburg.
01:00:19 We laid that city flat...
01:00:21 butchered men, women, and children...
01:00:25 20,000, 30,000.
01:00:27 And then we burned the lot.
01:00:31 - Why?
01:00:34 You know,
01:00:38 which was vengeance
01:00:40 for one of our villages,
01:00:43 which was probably destroyed
01:00:46 to give some fat little princeling...
01:00:49 a better view of the Rhine.
01:00:52 Magdeburg is that simple.
01:00:57 My family were there.
01:01:00 My father, mother...
01:01:03 my wife, and my son.
01:01:07 Then they have been dead for 12 long years.
01:01:13 We all have things we would like to forget.
01:01:18 Magdeburg is mine.
01:01:23 What is yours, Vogel?
01:01:30 Gruber.
01:01:34 Good.
01:01:35 He'll wish he stayed in the mountains.
01:01:38 Captain, the shrine is settled.
01:01:42 The women, well, that's settled.
01:01:46 Leave the valley in peace for a while.
01:01:48 If I do that, he'll gain the initiative.
01:01:52 Does that matter?
01:01:54 It matters very much,
01:02:03 Captain, I've been to the road.
01:02:06 There are fresh tracks, many horses.
01:02:08 I know.
01:02:10 Tomorrow, we search
01:02:13 for secret hoards of food.
01:02:15 Soldiers. They do nothing but loot,
01:02:19 Gold, silver, and jewelry, you keep.
01:02:22 But the food we put in a common store
01:02:26 If the food is to be in one store,
01:02:29 - I'll find a big enough house.
01:02:33 Then any trouble will be small.
01:02:36 Yes, very wise.
01:03:19 So.
00:00:15 Please not here! Please, Hansen.
00:01:45 The next time I see you, Vogel,
00:02:35 Captain?
00:02:43 It's me, Hansen.
00:02:45 There's trouble.
00:02:47 Vogel's got the Hoffman girl
00:02:50 Graf told me to fetch you.
00:02:55 Don't.
00:03:11 Who is with you, Hansen?
00:03:13 No one, Captain.
00:03:15 Hurry!
00:03:37 Claus, come on!
00:03:56 Captain, are you all right?
00:04:02 Captain, are you all right? It's Graf.
00:04:05 - It was Hansen. Who was with him?
00:04:09 Get them. Alive if you can.
00:04:10 Geddes, Tub, Czeraki, go with him.
00:04:22 There's nothing to say, is there?
00:04:26 Yes, you're safe.
00:04:34 You are safe, and you're not hurt, Inge.
00:04:39 You'll marry Andreas and live in peace.
00:04:45 No, I won't do that.
00:04:48 Thank you.
00:04:53 You must go home now.
00:04:58 How do I know that is the truth?
00:05:01 She's told you,
00:05:03 - Father, it wasn't Vogel.
00:05:05 She wouldn't lie.
00:05:09 She may be protecting him now.
00:05:11 It would not be the first time a girl did that.
00:05:14 Maybe he's put a spell on her.
00:05:21 You are a sorcerer.
00:05:25 No. But you are a bigot
00:05:29 Satan.
00:05:30 But you do conjure up dreams.
00:05:32 - Why did you follow her? Why?
00:05:50 We caught him just outside the village.
00:05:53 - I heard.
00:05:54 - He led the soldiers here, and now...
00:05:59 Before God, did this man attack you?
00:06:04 No, Father.
00:06:05 - Before God, has he lain with you?
00:06:08 - Swear by Our Lady.
00:06:11 May I burn in hellfire forever. It was Hansen.
00:06:14 Vogel stopped him.
00:06:16 She tells the truth.
00:06:19 It was Hansen.
00:06:22 This matter is ended.
00:06:29 "Bear not false witness
00:06:32 I did not, Father. I was mistaken, I'm sorry.
00:06:35 As a penance,
00:06:39 And you will give a generous gift
00:06:42 You will sweep out the church daily,
00:06:47 Beg God's forgiveness.
00:06:50 Only the guilty need fear His wrath.
00:07:12 What are you doing?
00:07:13 Playing a game.
00:07:40 You're not his real father, are you?
00:07:58 We lost them, Captain.
00:08:04 We followed them for miles
00:08:07 Then we lost their trail.
00:08:16 How many will Hansen tell?
00:08:19 About us and the valley?
00:08:22 Enough for an effective attack.
00:08:25 If he tells too many...
00:08:27 he'll have his throat cut
00:08:30 How many?
00:08:32 There are 17 of us.
00:08:34 He'll bring 30. Experts.
00:08:41 What's your plan?
00:08:43 This battle is very simple.
00:08:46 To win, Hansen must kill me.
00:08:50 For us to win, we must stamp them out.
00:08:54 All of them.
00:08:56 So, I am the bait for the trap.
00:09:01 Good. Get it covered and hidden.
00:09:04 Yes, Captain.
00:09:05 Get it covered.
00:09:07 Come on, hurry up.
00:09:16 Satan, lord of light, kill Hansen.
00:09:20 Kill him as I destroy his likeness.
00:09:27 Kill him and the others
00:10:13 Tell me...
00:10:15 what do you think of witchcraft?
00:10:23 Both religions burn witches, Captain.
00:10:25 Catholics, Protestants.
00:10:27 Luther was violent against them.
00:10:31 Why?
00:10:46 Can witches cast spells?
00:10:54 My sister was accused of witchcraft,
00:11:00 She confessed that the devil was her lover
00:11:06 She was 6 years old.
00:11:10 Her trial was legal.
00:11:13 The unspeakable things they did
00:11:17 legal.
00:11:19 Her burning...
00:11:21 legal.
00:11:24 Of course witches cast spells.
00:11:26 I have to believe it.
00:11:28 How else could a man remain sane?
00:11:31 If they can't, then 10,000 to 20,000
00:11:35 are falsely accused,
00:11:39 Then murdered, each year,
00:11:43 All in the name of God.
00:11:46 Nations are murdered in the name of God.
00:11:54 You are so naive.
00:11:56 You want to look under the plate
00:12:00 There's no need for that.
00:12:02 Nothing's hidden.
00:12:18 Why did you marry?
00:12:19 It was Gruber's way of protecting me.
00:12:21 Who from?
00:12:22 The harpies of the village,
00:12:28 Him, too!
00:12:31 If popes and bishops
00:12:36 They're all men.
00:12:41 He's not a bad man.
00:12:43 He takes care of his woman and children
00:12:47 Why haven't you had children?
00:12:51 Some women are barren.
00:12:54 They say that spells
00:13:00 Yes.
00:13:03 Was there ever a witch in the village?
00:13:09 Old Martha Vorfeld confessed to being one.
00:13:12 I don't want to talk about it.
00:13:15 There's no need to be frightened.
00:13:17 Witchcraft is nonsense.
00:13:20 It's just a legend.
00:13:23 You shouldn't say such things.
00:13:25 They could denounce you, burn you.
00:13:29 - Everyone would turn against you.
00:13:33 The valley and all it contains
00:13:38 or you do.
00:13:43 Captain!
00:13:49 There are soldiers on the Rheinfelden road.
00:13:51 - How many?
00:13:57 Stoffel, sound assembly.
00:14:00 Hoffman, tell Gruber.
00:14:28 Hurry up with these animals.
00:14:30 Faster! Faster!
00:14:47 Who is guarding the church?
00:14:49 You are, Father.
00:14:52 Vogel, down to the mill.
00:15:23 Remember, once we've killed him,
00:15:29 Rethman, flank right.
00:15:31 Claus, go ahead, I'll flank left.
00:16:57 There they are. Follow me.
00:18:29 The poor, weak bastard.
00:18:31 He's left the fighting to his men,
00:20:12 Get under cover!
00:20:30 Get back to the mill! Get out! Out!
00:20:35 Come on!
00:20:46 Here they come!
00:21:21 Pirelli.
00:21:25 Quick! Run!
00:21:29 Come back!
00:22:21 Julio!
00:22:27 Vogel!
00:22:38 Give me a knife.
00:22:42 Quick!
00:22:47 Don't leave me alive. Please, Vogel.
00:22:58 Father, help me. I'm Catholic.
00:23:05 Please.
00:23:08 God.
00:23:13 He's the devil incarnate!
00:23:21 Graf.
00:23:52 I prayed for you.
00:23:55 Prayer, you know, is an illusion.
00:24:01 None escaped.
00:24:07 You're safe now, that's all that matters.
00:25:19 It's about time
00:25:23 I don't want to marry yet, Father.
00:25:26 Daughter, it's time I had grandchildren.
00:25:29 You are old enough.
00:25:30 It has been agreed long enough, Andreas?
00:25:35 I want to marry Inge, yes.
00:25:40 But not until she's ready.
00:25:41 When will that be?
00:25:43 In the spring, perhaps.
00:25:45 When in the spring?
00:25:47 Is the food ready yet?
00:25:52 I'll think of a lucky day.
00:25:54 I'm hungry.
00:25:55 That looks good.
00:26:11 There's no need to patrol now, Captain.
00:26:13 We're locked in for the winter.
00:26:16 Habits die hard.
00:26:18 You'll eat with me tonight,
00:26:22 Thank you, and afterwards...
00:26:26 I will let you win at chess.
00:26:28 You'll always play to win.
00:26:30 And so will you, Gruber.
00:26:41 - Andreas, patrol ahead.
00:26:59 Your new life suits you.
00:27:03 Thank you.
00:27:07 This was always the time we liked the best,
00:27:11 When we're all safe from outside evil.
00:27:15 Yes.
00:27:18 The snows have come, Erica.
00:27:23 I won't help you.
00:27:25 Have I asked you to help me?
00:27:28 Please, let there be peace in the valley.
00:27:31 How can there be peace?
00:27:33 We're a conuered people,
00:27:37 Don't we always live at someone's whim,
00:27:43 This is the best time of the year.
00:27:46 Yes, it is.
00:27:52 But tomorrow the New Year begins...
00:27:54 soon the thaw will come...
00:27:57 and then...
00:28:45 Join the dance.
00:29:53 Welcome, Mathias. What news?
00:29:56 It's been a terrible winter, Master Gruber.
00:30:01 Worst I've ever seen.
00:30:03 There isn't a farm or village...
00:30:07 within 50 days' march
00:30:13 I heard in Freiburg
00:30:20 When I came up the pass,
00:30:23 Our Lady has protected us.
00:30:27 It's a miracle, yes.
00:30:31 I brought you almost 10 pounds of rock salt.
00:30:36 The best uality, very expensive,
00:30:41 So is our bacon and pickled beef.
00:30:44 What news of the war?
00:30:47 Which side did you serve, Captain?
00:30:50 That's unimportant. The truth.
00:30:53 It's not often
00:30:58 Very well, the truth.
00:31:03 The news is all bad, but nearby it's worse.
00:31:09 The lmperialists under General Werth...
00:31:13 are on the north of the Rhine, here.
00:31:16 The Protestants
00:31:20 are to the south, here.
00:31:24 We're about here.
00:31:26 If Bernard's got to get
00:31:30 as promised by Cardinal Richelieu...
00:31:33 he must cross the Rhine, and uickly.
00:31:36 His troops are starving,
00:31:41 The Prince told you all this personally?
00:31:47 What I hear, I sift.
00:31:53 What I say will happen, happens.
00:31:58 He will cross at this bridge.
00:32:03 The bridge is at Rheinfelden.
00:32:09 I speak frankly, and Bernard is on the move.
00:32:14 I was at his camp.
00:32:18 Then history has caught up with us.
00:32:23 Our neutrality is over.
00:32:29 God and the serpent have joined hands...
00:32:35 and we are all kicked out of Eden.
00:32:39 We are hidden as we've always been.
00:32:45 You will defend the village?
00:32:48 It has never been my policy
00:32:52 Only myself.
00:32:56 We will join Prince Bernard.
00:33:00 Why join the enemy?
00:33:01 You fought for the Emperor,
00:33:05 You dare to speak to me
00:33:11 There is no just war.
00:33:13 You know it, everyone knows it.
00:33:16 The truth is your leaders are bigots...
00:33:20 your generals are bandits...
00:33:22 you employ any mercenary you can get,
00:33:26 The truth is
00:33:31 And the other side is just as rotten.
00:33:33 I will tell you.
00:33:34 All sides are rotten,
00:33:38 Religious fanatics who incite murder...
00:33:41 for the sake of a God
00:33:44 The world is, as it is, a fallen world.
00:33:48 Men are what they are, sinners.
00:33:53 And your mind is sick.
00:33:56 It will lead you straight to hell.
00:33:58 There is no hell, don't you understand?
00:34:03 Because there is no God.
00:34:05 There never was, don't you understand?
00:34:09 There is no God.
00:34:13 It's a legend!
00:34:36 Vogel, is it true what they say?
00:34:43 There won't be trouble here.
00:34:46 Are you going with the soldiers?
00:34:49 I'm leaving the valley, yes.
00:34:51 Take me with you.
00:34:53 I couldn't protect you.
00:34:55 You'd be brutally dead within the week.
00:34:58 Then stay in the valley.
00:34:59 By the Madonna, if you'll stay,
00:35:03 You could work for my father.
00:35:09 Gruber will have my head
00:35:13 Then take me with you.
00:35:16 I love you.
00:35:18 I can't live in the valley without you.
00:35:21 I love you.
00:35:23 Please take me with you.
00:35:26 My poor Inge.
00:35:29 They tore the heart out of me
00:35:33 Marry Andreas, he's a good man.
00:35:37 Please, I love you.
00:35:43 You must stay here.
00:35:46 That's all the chance you have.
00:35:52 You will take me with you?
00:35:55 It's better that you stay here.
00:35:57 I'm dead here.
00:36:00 There are tens of thousands of families
00:36:03 In the camps, or on the march.
00:36:06 Even at battles.
00:36:10 Please.
00:36:11 The outside world is no place for you.
00:36:14 I'll be no trouble to you.
00:36:15 I'll look after you, forage for you,
00:36:21 And all the time, I'll love you
00:36:25 This, you know I can do.
00:36:27 Please.
00:36:29 I love you, but I cannot take you with me.
00:36:33 I am what I am: A killer beast.
00:36:37 I was born in war.
00:36:39 I have no country, no friends, no people.
00:36:44 War is all the wealth I have.
00:36:48 Then share a little of your wealth with me.
00:36:50 No.
00:37:01 Don't sack the village.
00:37:04 Will you never learn?
00:37:05 It is not necessary.
00:37:10 Very well, but you will stay
00:37:13 I'll give you Pirelli, Geddes,
00:37:15 and you will be in command until I return.
00:37:18 No.
00:37:20 Gruber would eat me up.
00:37:22 If you want a safe place to retreat to,
00:37:26 - No, I need Graf.
00:37:29 You've all the time in the world.
00:37:32 What's so important about one rotten battle
00:37:36 It exists, Vogel.
00:37:38 Why should I let Gruber murder me?
00:37:40 You cannot run away from life forever.
00:37:43 You cannot always
00:37:49 Refuse, and I will obliterate this village.
00:38:04 Gruber works to policy.
00:38:07 I'm no value to Gruber.
00:38:09 Then become one!
00:38:14 And watch over Erica.
00:38:16 Why not take her with you?
00:38:21 No one is safe with me, Vogel.
00:38:24 My wife wasn't, nor my child.
00:38:28 No one is safe with me.
00:38:35 Kill the priest.
00:38:37 Quickly, he is the real danger.
00:38:41 Have you no solution to anything but kill?
00:38:44 Is your answer better?
00:38:46 Run?
00:38:52 Papa!
00:39:16 - Good luck to you, Czeraki.
00:39:28 Good luck, Graf.
00:39:40 I have left soldiers with Vogel.
00:39:44 He will look after you.
00:39:46 Why not come back?
00:39:50 I have considered it.
00:39:55 I'll pray for you.
00:39:58 Gruber won't harm you.
00:40:01 I know him.
00:40:57 I leave Vogel in charge until I return.
00:41:16 Mount!
00:42:13 You're not a fool, Vogel.
00:42:15 You'll understand
00:42:20 Yes, I understand very well.
00:42:24 So we don't really need you here at all.
00:42:26 Or any soldiers.
00:42:28 Food is short.
00:42:31 You could make this valley
00:42:34 How?
00:42:36 By becoming soldiers yourselves.
00:42:40 Geddes and Pirelli could teach them.
00:42:42 Your brain's become addled.
00:42:45 You know the Captain, Graf,
00:42:49 You've lived in their pockets
00:42:52 - We haven't the weapons.
00:42:55 You create food, therefore wealth.
00:42:57 You're a dreamer.
00:42:59 Our old ways are proven,
00:43:02 The truth is, you always protect
00:43:05 and risking the valley.
00:43:10 But I am alive.
00:43:13 And while I am, the valley will survive.
00:43:16 No.
00:43:18 Too many people know about it now.
00:43:22 Where will you hide, all of you,
00:43:26 And you?
00:43:29 Where do you fit into your plan?
00:43:32 Nowhere.
00:43:33 You don't need me.
00:43:35 And the Captain?
00:43:36 When he returns? If he returns?
00:43:40 If you made peace with one another,
00:43:49 Why do you think
00:43:53 Because he existed.
00:43:55 Why did we help him against Hansen?
00:43:59 Why didn't we destroy him and his men
00:44:03 To learn.
00:44:06 You always see too little and too much.
00:44:11 The Captain was a good teacher.
00:44:15 But now he is a mad dog.
00:44:18 Satan, lord of truth, prince of light...
00:44:22 protect him from harm
00:44:26 I beg you, Satan.
00:44:28 Protect him and I will worship you...
00:44:31 forever and...
00:44:36 But you have taken
00:44:41 I took nothing more...
00:44:43 than a piece of bread and a sip of wine.
00:44:47 God have mercy on you.
00:45:28 There is nothing I can do.
00:45:39 Why did you torture her? She confessed.
00:45:46 The Devil had to be driven out of her.
00:45:49 Her soul had to be saved.
00:45:52 Through God's mercy she is saved.
00:45:57 She is truly saved.
00:46:00 Poor child.
00:46:19 Tie her to the ladder.
00:46:34 I'll do it.
00:46:43 Geddes, help me.
00:47:31 I can't let her be burnt alive.
00:48:30 Hypocrite. Liar.
00:48:34 Help me!
00:50:44 Fire!
00:51:53 Captain!
00:52:28 I told you to stay away from him.
00:52:29 - Get into the house.
00:52:32 Leave her alone.
00:52:33 Don't hit her again, "Meister" Hoffman.
00:52:54 You're not safe here anymore, Vogel.
00:52:56 You must go away.
00:53:03 I am waiting for the Captain.
00:53:06 There's an ambush waiting for him.
00:53:10 I know you lied about the dream.
00:53:16 That's one thing I'm not ashamed of.
00:53:20 So I'm to run and be ambushed, too?
00:53:24 You could escape Gruber, perhaps,
00:53:30 And Inge's yours now.
00:54:15 I brought food.
00:54:16 I've got to warn the Captain.
00:54:19 Please. Andreas helped me.
00:54:22 I know a shortcut to the road.
00:54:40 This way is the shortcut.
00:55:25 Wait there, Captain.
00:55:28 You're surrounded, and we're well-armed.
00:55:43 Captain...
00:56:02 Andreas.
00:56:05 And the others?
00:56:12 The one who doesn't like killing.
00:56:18 So, you made yourself useful to Gruber.
00:56:22 The ambush is for you and me.
00:56:49 Where's Erica?
00:56:56 Did Prince Bernard win?
00:57:00 He won, Vogel.
00:57:04 But we lost.
00:57:07 How we lost.
00:57:11 Graf is dead.
00:57:14 Czeraki, Vornez, dead.
00:57:18 All dead.
00:57:50 How I missed you.
00:57:54 I wanted to see you...
00:57:58 just once more.
00:58:03 I would take you with me now...
00:58:07 if I could turn back time.
00:58:15 But I'm glad I left you safe.
00:58:23 I adore you.
00:58:37 Leave me now.
00:58:41 Go back to the valley.
00:58:45 Please.
00:59:00 Listen, Vogel.
00:59:07 It was a beautiful valley.
00:59:12 You were right.
00:59:15 I was wrong.
00:59:18 You know, without you...
00:59:24 I would never have done it.
00:59:30 If you ever find God...
00:59:38 tell him...
00:59:40 we created...
01:00:12 - Inge, go back to the village.
01:00:16 I'm leaving with Vogel.
01:00:53 Where are you going?
01:00:56 Just going.
01:00:58 But you'll be safe here now, I swear it.
01:01:02 No.
01:01:05 You will stay here.
