Watch On The Rhine

00:02:02 So the moment has come.
00:02:05 This time, it is of the utmost importance.
00:02:08 Please do not talk.
00:02:42 Papa told you it is good manners to speak
00:02:46 Therefore, speak in English.
00:02:47 I said, whenever we have
00:02:50 ...I so fix my feet
00:02:53 I have found it to be of good luck.
00:02:55 - And so I advise all of you...
00:02:57 You are one of the many people
00:03:01 ...that the 10th time they have said it,
00:03:05 Spare us.
00:03:07 - I can't believe it, darling.
00:03:10 And now you are in your own land, Sara.
00:03:13 And that is good.
00:03:19 Your face is most happy, Sara.
00:03:21 And most pretty.
00:03:42 Are you comfortable?
00:03:43 Oh, yes, Mama. This is most luxurious.
00:03:47 I am surprised.
00:03:51 ...is a sun-lighted, dusty country
00:03:55 You are ready to write a book about it?
00:03:57 This part of it is, Bodo.
00:03:59 But this part of the country
00:04:03 Perhaps all of it will be strange to me.
00:04:06 It's been 17 years.
00:04:08 Carterville, next stop. Carterville.
00:04:13 There are, I think, others here
00:04:17 You do not know that people from
00:04:21 ...have found refuge
00:04:24 We know that.
00:04:31 I did not imagine houses in America...
00:04:33 ...to be as those I have
00:04:35 Do you think the house
00:04:38 I do not know.
00:04:40 Is it that you have been
00:04:43 I do not complain. I only ask.
00:04:48 But it is only natural
00:05:04 Joseph.
00:05:06 - Morning.
00:05:08 - Everybody down?
00:05:11 Breakfast is at 9:00 in this house,
00:05:15 - Ring the bell.
00:05:18 Well, put the clocks up to 9
00:05:20 Mr. David told me not to ring it anymore.
00:05:22 He say it got too mean a ring, that bell.
00:05:25 That's what it was put there for.
00:05:29 Yes'm.
00:05:30 I couldn't sleep.
00:05:32 I kept thinking of Sara coming home.
00:05:34 But you slept well, Anise. You were asleep
00:05:38 I woke several times during the night.
00:05:40 Did you?
00:05:44 Now that Sara and her family are coming,
00:05:50 Jenny's daughter
00:05:53 An actor. Fashions in sin change.
00:05:56 In my day, it was Englishmen.
00:05:58 Oh, my mail looks dull.
00:06:02 The usual advertisements for Mr. David.
00:06:04 For the Count and Countess de Brancovis...
00:06:06 ...nothing but what seems to be an
00:06:11 And some letters
00:06:14 That's every morning. In the weeks Marthe
00:06:18 ...they seem to have run up many bills.
00:06:20 Yes, I told you that.
00:06:22 Why do you suppose anybody would give
00:06:27 Perhaps because they are the guests
00:06:31 Perhaps.
00:06:33 How does David's flirtation
00:06:37 Happen? I don't know what you mean.
00:06:39 You know very well what I mean.
00:06:41 Oh, that. Oh, no. I don't think that.
00:06:45 I must...
00:06:47 - Joseph.
00:06:55 Little birds, I don't blame you.
00:06:58 Joseph, stop that.
00:07:01 It ain't me, Mr. David. I don't
00:07:05 - She didn't tell you to hang yourself.
00:07:07 Good morning, David.
00:07:10 I'm going to have a chicken house
00:07:14 I will hang it with bells and she can go into
00:07:19 She'll only make us have breakfast there.
00:07:21 David. Come to breakfast.
00:07:27 Shall we go down together?
00:07:30 Couldn't you ask your admirer
00:07:33 ...to have a breakfast a little later
00:07:37 I don't mind that as much as
00:07:40 Any morning
00:07:45 Anything Madame Fanny's
00:07:48 ...she thinks God intended
00:07:51 It's unfortunate that early American
00:07:55 Breakfast promptly at 9, outdoors.
00:08:01 I won't be in tonight to dinner.
00:08:05 - You might have it with David.
00:08:07 With whom are you dining?
00:08:09 Oh, you will not bump into me.
00:08:12 Teck, I've asked you...
00:08:18 You slept well.
00:08:21 ...that your sister whom you haven't seen
00:08:24 But they aren't coming today, Mama.
00:08:25 I lay awake most of the night
00:08:29 Wondering what
00:08:31 ...coming home
00:08:34 Three grandchildren.
00:08:36 - I hope I shall.
00:08:39 Anything in my mail, Anise?
00:08:42 - Advertisements only.
00:08:44 You and Mama save me
00:08:47 I cannot speak for Madame Fanny, but I
00:08:51 You don't have to.
00:08:54 It's true. You're a snooper, Anise.
00:08:58 It shows an interest in life.
00:09:01 - Bonjour, Mademoiselle Anise.
00:09:03 Oh, there you are. Don't people
00:09:06 - Good morning.
00:09:10 Here I am, Miss Fanny.
00:09:11 Has science a name
00:09:14 Fanny's excited.
00:09:16 You're excited too.
00:09:18 A few more days
00:09:20 I am excited. And I'm afraid too.
00:09:23 - Why?
00:09:27 - Afraid she won't like me anymore, I guess.
00:09:30 Of course.
00:09:32 I remember Sara.
00:09:33 Mama brought me one day
00:09:36 I was about 6 and Sara was about 15,
00:09:41 You were a pretty little girl.
00:09:42 Do you really remember me?
00:09:45 - I wanted you to remember me, but I...
00:09:48 Monsieur Chabeuf the upholsterer says,
00:09:51 ...not even so much as,
00:09:54 In the matter of four chairs,
00:09:57 Oh, nonsense.
00:10:01 Is he on the phone?
00:10:02 - Everybody's lazy. Except me.
00:10:06 Madame Fanny has energy.
00:10:09 Perhaps because you're not related to it.
00:10:13 What sort of man
00:10:16 I've never met him.
00:10:20 The day Sara met him, I think.
00:10:21 I remember Mama telling me about it.
00:10:25 The Farrelly daughter marrying a German
00:10:28 Oh, Mama wouldn't have minded that.
00:10:30 If only they'd come home and allowed her
00:10:33 But Sara didn't want it that way
00:10:37 But all was forgiven a long time ago.
00:10:40 They're fortunate to be able
00:10:43 Oh, they've been out of Germany
00:10:45 Oh?
00:10:46 - Where have they been living?
00:10:49 Sara's letters
00:10:52 ...Switzerland, Czechoslovakia,
00:10:57 Kurt is an engineer. But I'm not sure...
00:11:00 Well, you'll have a house
00:11:04 Are you a refugee?
00:11:06 I'm not sure I know
00:11:10 From Europe.
00:11:12 From what Europe?
00:11:15 - Just Europe.
00:11:18 This is one of Mama's screaming days.
00:11:20 I'm going to the office before she finds
00:11:24 I've got to ask Penfield about the
00:11:28 Ask Walton about a school for boys.
00:11:31 Buy boys' books, buy girl's books,
00:11:34 ...three puppies...
00:11:36 From what Europe?
00:11:39 I'm not sure
00:11:41 Aren't you?
00:11:44 A great many mistaken people seem to have
00:11:48 It'd be nice
00:11:50 Do not act as though
00:11:53 I did not sleep well last night.
00:11:57 We have $85
00:12:01 - That is all we have, Marthe.
00:12:05 David?
00:12:08 - Money does not worry you?
00:12:11 But I just lie still now and hope.
00:12:16 We've come to the end of a road.
00:12:19 Things will have to go
00:12:22 Maybe they'll go well for a change.
00:12:24 I have not come
00:12:26 No? I admire you.
00:12:29 Perhaps because you think the road
00:12:33 You can't give up that dream,
00:12:36 That you can get back
00:12:39 That they'll let you come back and play?
00:12:42 - You have political convictions?
00:12:45 But I've never liked Nazis
00:12:48 They seem to have had enough of you.
00:12:51 They're smarter than you are
00:12:54 I think you're trying
00:12:57 What is it?
00:12:58 That you ought not to be seen
00:13:01 And that it's insane to go on
00:13:05 Suppose you lose this time? I don't think
00:13:09 - I shall try not to lose.
00:13:12 Everyone in Washington
00:13:15 And we'll be out of here.
00:13:17 I think I want to be out of here.
00:13:19 I find that I do not like
00:13:23 There's no picture, as you put it,
00:13:26 Not yet, eh?
00:13:28 I am glad to hear that.
00:13:30 Marthe, you understand
00:13:33 You understand it's unwise
00:13:36 Yes, I understand that.
00:13:39 And I understand that I'm getting tired,
00:13:43 The whole thing is too much for me.
00:13:45 I've always wanted to ask you,
00:13:49 ...why we don't come out any better.
00:13:51 I've always wanted to ask you
00:13:54 I'm tired, see?
00:13:57 Just sit down in a chair and stay.
00:14:03 You have thus arranged it, with David?
00:14:05 I have arranged nothing.
00:14:08 But you are trying, eh?
00:14:12 I think not.
00:14:14 I would not like that.
00:14:16 I would not like that at all.
00:14:30 I like to talk to foreigners.
00:14:32 It is not polite to speak of people in
00:14:37 Thank you. Thank you.
00:14:39 It was swell of you to take him
00:14:41 That little Joe.
00:14:45 - May I borrow him again?
00:14:47 He's a fine baby.
00:14:48 - And you have fine children.
00:14:51 - May I come with you?
00:14:53 You are Italian?
00:14:57 Do you know a Tullio Tipaldi
00:15:02 - No.
00:15:03 He was a soldier
00:15:06 So was Papa. Papa was brave, he was calm,
00:15:11 My biographer.
00:15:15 - You are German?
00:15:18 - What side do you fight on in Spain?
00:15:22 Be still, Papa says.
00:15:23 I fought with the army of the Republic.
00:15:26 I am not a Nazi or a fascist.
00:15:29 I'm a big fool. I beg your pardon.
00:15:32 Don't... Forgive me, please.
00:15:34 I might have known which side
00:15:37 It used to make me feel good...
00:15:39 ...that Italians and Germans went to
00:15:42 Kind of showed people
00:15:47 - Are you just come from Europe?
00:15:49 What's happening over there?
00:15:53 Nobody seems to be doing anything,
00:15:57 It will come soon now, I think.
00:15:59 But ain't there some chance the German
00:16:02 You read about men
00:16:05 - Is that just talk?
00:16:09 It is not talk.
00:16:11 These men, in what you call
00:16:14 ...work most hard and in great danger.
00:16:16 But...
00:16:18 Well, it looks bad to me.
00:16:21 It is not all black.
00:16:22 Take my word.
00:16:24 There are men in your country
00:16:28 I know.
00:16:30 - I have friends among them.
00:16:33 - I mean, what's your trade?
00:16:37 I fight against fascism.
00:16:39 That is my trade.
00:16:47 Try it there, Horace.
00:16:50 - It won't fit in there, Miss Fanny.
00:16:55 No, that's awful.
00:16:59 Take it out of there.
00:17:00 Fanny. Really.
00:17:01 I've been sitting here waiting
00:17:05 All you're doing
00:17:08 Joseph. Joseph.
00:17:12 - Yes'm?
00:17:16 Put it back where it's been
00:17:19 And you'd better get back
00:17:22 There will be children. My grandchildren.
00:17:25 They will climb on furniture. I always did.
00:17:28 My grandchildren
00:17:30 ...so don't use any of your dainty,
00:17:33 - This isn't Mrs. Sewell's house.
00:17:36 Therefore, it's impossible
00:17:39 If I'd had a daughter,
00:17:42 Well, everything turns out for the best.
00:17:45 Have you got that list?
00:17:48 We're going into Washington.
00:17:52 Very well.
00:17:53 You'll never have time to get all that.
00:17:56 I've got to have a fitting
00:17:59 I never understand why you need
00:18:03 Do you lead a secret life at your age?
00:18:11 Oh, hello, Marthe.
00:18:13 Hello, Mrs. Sewell.
00:18:23 I think Marthe is a very pretty girl,
00:18:27 What? Oh, all the Randolphs
00:18:29 - No matter what else they weren't.
00:18:34 Don't you think so, Fanny? Don't you think
00:18:37 I'm sure I don't know. I'm not a man.
00:18:40 Of course, Jennie Randolph
00:18:43 It was a brilliant wedding.
00:18:47 Now, doesn't it seem strange
00:18:50 And the circle is completed, as they say,
00:18:55 What circle? What are you talking about?
00:18:57 Candy. I'll buy messy candy.
00:19:00 That's what my grandchildren would like.
00:19:03 If you'd had grandchildren, Mellie,
00:19:06 ...they'd have been children who never ate
00:19:09 All your family were sickly.
00:19:13 Licorice. That's what I'll buy.
00:19:19 Really, Fanny,
00:19:22 Now it's too late to try on my dresses.
00:19:24 Oh, do be careful of the candy, Mellie.
00:19:31 Acting like a 6-year-old
00:19:34 It might be better if you spent your time
00:19:37 It isn't that I believe everything that
00:19:42 Especially after he took her to the
00:19:46 What are you chattering about?
00:19:49 Nobody can understand a word
00:19:52 - You used to have lovely teeth.
00:19:55 You can't even understand that all
00:19:59 ...and the Countess de Brancovis.
00:20:03 Not just, you know.
00:20:04 If it was just, you know, people
00:20:08 What is "just you know"? Mellie,
00:20:13 Let me off at the next block.
00:20:17 Take these things home for me, darling,
00:20:24 Do be careful of the packages, Mellie.
00:20:28 And be very careful when you take them out
00:20:32 Bye-bye, dear.
00:20:50 - Hello, Miss Drake.
00:20:57 Come. Take me home.
00:21:00 I don't like that picture of your father.
00:21:04 Goodness, my Joshua was handsome.
00:21:06 Wasn't he?
00:21:14 Upon the warranties...
00:21:15 Hello, Cyrus. Hello, Miss Hall.
00:21:19 Cyrus, my German son-in-law
00:21:22 The government or somebody
00:21:25 Find him something really good, Cyrus.
00:21:27 Looking her age, Fanny,
00:21:31 Not very remarkable.
00:21:34 We always remember. When Joshua
00:21:37 All of Washington was heartbroken.
00:21:40 Goodbye, Cyrus. And thanks for arranging
00:21:44 Fanny, what kind of engineer is he?
00:21:46 What kind? Any kind.
00:21:49 There are kinds of engineers.
00:21:51 Civil, mining, electrical.
00:21:55 - I guess that would make him...
00:21:58 Goodbye, Cyrus.
00:22:03 But not soon. In about five or six years.
00:22:07 How much longer do you think the
00:22:11 I don't know.
00:22:12 Now that Sara, Kurt and the children are
00:22:17 I feel sorry for Marthe.
00:22:19 I suppose, after all, her mother was my
00:22:23 Plays good cribbage and tells jokes. But
00:22:27 And they've been here six weeks.
00:22:29 Have they borrowed
00:22:32 - None.
00:22:34 I hope you haven't
00:22:37 You invited them, Mama.
00:22:39 Oh, they were mine. But that was before
00:22:44 She was such as pretty young girl.
00:22:47 - I think she's still pretty.
00:22:50 I don't know why I say that.
00:22:54 And you couldn't
00:22:56 She had a nice disposition.
00:22:57 Why not? Who would have spoiled her?
00:22:59 Oh, look here, David.
00:23:04 I don't like that question, Mama.
00:23:06 Nothing is going on.
00:23:08 I like her very much. I hope she likes me.
00:23:10 I can assure you she does.
00:23:13 There's a great deal of gossip
00:23:16 - Gossip?
00:23:17 Most of it is rather amusing.
00:23:20 There is nothing to gossip about.
00:23:22 That's never stopped anybody
00:23:25 You and Marthe haven't been very good
00:23:30 You know, I wonder
00:23:32 - Now, look here, Mama...
00:23:35 ...that I have a feeling that he
00:23:39 Underneath the manners
00:23:41 ...I have a feeling
00:23:54 - Enchanting evening. Good night, admiral.
00:23:57 - A most pleasant good night, sir.
00:23:59 - Good night, admiral.
00:24:20 It's been a great pleasure
00:24:23 Thank you. Good night.
00:24:25 I hope your stay,
00:24:27 Thank you. Good night, sir.
00:24:29 I do not think I envy you, Dr. Klauber.
00:24:32 Envy me? Of course not.
00:24:34 Perhaps publishing a pro-Nazi paper
00:24:38 ...isn't the best of all occupations.
00:24:40 There may be no future in it, but it pays.
00:24:44 PHILl: Good night.
00:24:46 PHILl:
00:24:48 - Good night.
00:24:50 - Glad to have seen you again.
00:24:55 - Good night.
00:24:57 Well, that should be enough
00:24:59 Are we ready?
00:25:01 PHILl:
00:25:03 Our Herr Hitler violates their morality
00:25:06 ...but by the evening, they've recovered
00:25:10 And so it's gone in most places
00:25:14 One might almost suspect their morality.
00:25:17 That would be cynical.
00:25:33 Good evening, Blecher.
00:25:35 Herr Blecher, here first, as usual.
00:25:38 How was the tea party?
00:25:40 It was a distinguished gathering.
00:25:43 A tribute to the diplomacy
00:25:46 Don't put this in your paper...
00:25:47 ...but His Excellency acts the host
00:25:51 He's a dull man.
00:25:52 Ribbentrop did not send him here
00:25:56 Then he's doing very well.
00:25:57 In my paper, he is all things to all men.
00:26:00 Tomorrow we will have a little talk
00:26:03 Gladly. The cost of everything rises.
00:26:08 That is not what we will talk about.
00:26:10 It is generally supposed, Mr. Chandler...
00:26:13 ...that these little talks of Blecher's
00:26:17 Baron von Ramme,
00:26:20 A threat, Butcher Boy?
00:26:23 Butcher Boy. That is funny, yes.
00:26:26 We Nazis are always funny.
00:26:28 And we have a funny leader
00:26:30 His name used to be Schicklgruber
00:26:34 That too is funny. Yes.
00:26:36 And so we have divided the world
00:26:39 Those like you who want to work for us
00:26:43 And those others who lie awake trembling
00:26:48 Tell me, is not that also funny?
00:26:51 No, I wouldn't threaten you, Phili.
00:26:53 You could not be handled that way.
00:26:56 With all your duties,
00:26:59 - You are not complicated.
00:27:00 No. Aristocrat.
00:27:04 Contemptuous of us and our methods,
00:27:08 Would be satisfied enough
00:27:11 :::or worse,
00:27:15 Got too cynical to be really dangerous,
00:27:19 Bravo.
00:27:21 You make me ashamed
00:27:24 Do Klauber for us.
00:27:26 Money. That is all. Nothing else.
00:27:29 He becomes too expensive. But he will
00:27:33 - One makes a living.
00:27:36 A man who wishes to sell us
00:27:39 ...he has by some means
00:27:41 Later and always, he will
00:27:44 They always do.
00:27:45 - Now, look here. L...
00:27:48 Oberdorff, I do not know. I have tried.
00:27:54 He sits. He observes. He says nothing.
00:27:59 Perhaps he is of the secret police.
00:28:04 I do not give up. But I do not know.
00:28:06 His credentials are of the best.
00:28:09 We must see more of one another.
00:28:11 You've stumped Blecher.
00:28:14 Perhaps he's a member
00:28:18 That should be very amusing.
00:28:20 Perhaps he is even Max Freidank.
00:28:22 No, Oberdorff's not Max Freidank.
00:28:24 You know the legendary hero
00:28:28 No legend. We were in school together.
00:28:30 Yes. And you and he met by accident
00:28:35 He had with him a man called Gotter.
00:28:37 Oberdorff, I admire you more and more.
00:28:40 I feel slighted, Herr Blecher.
00:28:44 Because it has not been necessary
00:28:48 One knows, of course, the routine things.
00:28:51 Romanian, former diplomat. A gambler.
00:28:54 Like Phil, an aristocrat
00:28:58 But the career goes a little wrong.
00:29:00 I do not know how or why,
00:29:03 I also make the guess that you, like
00:29:09 But I would guess also that at the moment,
00:29:14 - I'll call on you when I have.
00:29:17 That's why I'm here.
00:29:21 Another stack of blues, please.
00:29:23 Your deal.
00:30:00 Sara. Sara.
00:30:07 Been such a long, long time.
00:30:11 David. David, darling. Isn't
00:31:26 Where is everybody?
00:31:28 That's Mama.
00:31:29 She's expected you every minute,
00:31:33 Now that the time's here,
00:31:35 I'll find her.
00:31:44 I've always known you must have grown up
00:32:15 Sit down.
00:32:17 Be comfortable.
00:32:19 Is it allowed?
00:32:21 Yes, it is allowed.
00:32:23 The door of the home was not locked.
00:32:28 You find it curious to believe
00:32:31 ...and do not need to watch, eh, Joshua?
00:32:33 It is strange. But it must be good, I think.
00:32:38 Yes.
00:32:39 Isn't it a lovely house?
00:32:43 I'd almost forgotten.
00:32:47 That was my father...
00:32:49 ...when he was the famous
00:32:52 We were very proud of him.
00:32:58 Almost 18 years.
00:33:01 You were born here, Mama?
00:33:03 Upstairs.
00:33:08 David and I used to have
00:33:11 I like a garden.
00:33:13 I've always hoped that some day we'd have
00:33:22 I'm talking so foolish.
00:33:24 Sentimental.
00:33:26 At my age.
00:33:28 Gardens and homes.
00:33:32 - I haven't wanted anything.
00:33:35 This is a fine room, fine place to be.
00:33:38 Everything is so pleasant
00:33:41 That will be a good piano
00:33:44 And it is all so clean. I like that.
00:33:47 You must enjoy your house, Sara.
00:33:49 You shall not be a baby. You shall not be
00:33:52 ...because I have not given you
00:33:55 - Yes?
00:33:58 It's strange, that's all. We've never been
00:34:01 Oh, but that does not mean
00:34:04 ...that we do not remember
00:34:07 We are on a holiday.
00:34:09 Miss Sara.
00:34:11 Miss Sara.
00:34:13 Anise.
00:34:18 I would have known you.
00:34:23 You look the same.
00:34:25 I think you look the same.
00:34:32 This is the Anise
00:34:35 She was here long before I was born.
00:34:37 How do you do, sir? How do you do?
00:34:40 Thank you. We are in good health.
00:34:42 Madame Fanny will have a fit.
00:34:44 - You are French, Madame Anise?
00:34:47 Sara's husband, that is nice. That is nice.
00:34:51 Yes, your accent is from the north.
00:34:54 We were in hiding there once.
00:34:56 Hiding. You were in hiding?
00:35:07 Hello, Mama.
00:35:08 Sara. Sara, darling. You're here.
00:35:13 You're really here.
00:35:25 Welcome. Welcome.
00:35:27 Welcome to your house.
00:35:34 - You're not young, Sara.
00:35:37 - I'm 38.
00:35:42 You look more like your father now.
00:35:47 Welcome to this house, sir.
00:35:49 Thank you, madame.
00:35:53 You're a good-looking man for a German.
00:35:55 I like a good-looking man. I always have.
00:35:58 And I like a good-looking woman.
00:36:01 Yes, I am your grandmother. Also,
00:36:05 I speak languages well.
00:36:06 But there's no longer anyone to speak with.
00:36:10 Oh, it's good to have you home.
00:36:14 Now you have us, madame.
00:36:15 We speak ignorantly but fluently
00:36:20 And sometimes boastfully in English.
00:36:22 There is never a need of boasting.
00:36:25 If we are to fight
00:36:27 ...it is to be accepted
00:36:32 My goodness. Are these your children
00:36:37 These are my children, Mama.
00:36:39 This, Babette. This, Joshua.
00:36:44 You were named for your grandfather.
00:36:47 Two great names.
00:36:50 Yes.
00:36:51 You look a little like your grandfather.
00:36:54 And so do you. You're a nice-looking girl.
00:36:58 You look like nobody.
00:37:00 Yes, I am not beautiful.
00:37:04 Well, Sara, well. Three children.
00:37:08 You too, sir, of course.
00:37:10 - But you don't look well.
00:37:14 - In a short while, I will be all
00:37:18 - We must take good care of you.
00:37:21 That was my Joshua.
00:37:23 We were very much in love.
00:37:25 Hard to believe of people nowadays,
00:37:28 No. Kurt and I love each other.
00:37:30 But there are ways and ways of loving.
00:37:32 - How dare you, Mama.
00:37:36 I was almost mad then.
00:37:38 I don't think I've been mad
00:37:41 We must not get angry.
00:37:42 Anger is protest and should only be used
00:37:47 That is correct, Papa?
00:37:48 If you grow up to talk like that
00:37:51 ...you're going to have one of those
00:37:56 It is a great pleasure
00:37:58 I think I shall wash you.
00:38:01 Wash us? Do people wash each other?
00:38:04 No. But the washing is a good idea.
00:38:08 Come.
00:38:11 And then we'll all
00:38:13 Again?
00:38:15 Don't you usually have a good lunch?
00:38:17 No, madame, only sometimes.
00:38:19 We do all right usually.
00:38:22 It's good to be here.
00:38:24 I want to see everything.
00:38:25 My old room, and the lake and...
00:38:28 - Haven't I fine children?
00:38:31 You're lucky. I wish I had them.
00:38:33 How could you? All the women you like
00:38:37 None of them could have children.
00:38:39 Which, as God in his wisdom,
00:38:41 Mama hasn't changed. That's good too.
00:38:45 - I hope you'll like me.
00:38:48 I have fine plans.
00:38:50 I'm having the wing done over for you,
00:38:53 Oh, that's very kind of you, Mama,
00:38:57 A good long vacation for Kurt and...
00:38:59 A vacation? You're staying, of course.
00:39:02 David is seeing schools for the children.
00:39:04 Cyrus Penfield has promised
00:39:07 But I have not worked as an engineer
00:39:10 Haven't you?
00:39:13 Yes...
00:39:15 ...but before '33.
00:39:16 You must have worked in other places.
00:39:19 Every letter of Sara's seemed
00:39:22 Well, we moved most often.
00:39:24 You gave up engineering?
00:39:26 Gave it up?
00:39:28 - Well, one could say it that way.
00:39:31 - Mama, we...
00:39:33 - Lf you'd rather not...
00:39:37 - May I ask it right out?
00:39:41 You wish to know
00:39:43 ...buys adequate lunches for my family.
00:39:46 It does not.
00:39:48 I have no wish to make a mystery
00:39:51 It is only that it is awkward
00:39:54 It sounds so big. And it is so small.
00:39:58 I am an anti-fascist.
00:40:01 And to answer your question,
00:40:04 But we are all anti-fascists.
00:40:06 Yes, but Kurt works at it.
00:40:09 What kind of work?
00:40:11 Any kind. Anywhere.
00:40:14 - I will stop asking questions.
00:40:17 Darling, don't be angry.
00:40:21 We knew so little
00:40:25 I didn't have a hard time. We never...
00:40:29 I'm not lying.
00:40:35 I didn't have a hard time
00:40:47 For almost 12 years,
00:40:51 ...and came home to me every night
00:40:57 As happily as people could in a starved
00:41:00 Sara, please.
00:41:02 - I do not like you to be angry.
00:41:04 Let me try to find a way
00:41:15 I was born in a town called Fürth.
00:41:18 And we have a holiday in this town.
00:41:22 It was a gay holiday with games, music
00:41:28 When I grow up, I move away to school,
00:41:33 But I always come back for Kirchweih.
00:41:39 After the war, the First World War,
00:41:45 The sausage begins
00:41:48 Country people come in without shoes.
00:41:53 It is bad for my people, those years.
00:41:58 In the festival of August 1931,
00:42:03 ...I find out that hope by itself
00:42:07 On that day, I see 27 men murdered
00:42:12 I cannot longer just look on.
00:42:15 My time has come to do more.
00:42:19 I say with the great Luther:
00:42:21 "I must make my stand.
00:42:26 God help me. Amen. "
00:42:32 We had seen the evil coming every day,
00:42:37 But that festival
00:42:41 It hit Kurt hard.
00:42:44 It doesn't pay in money
00:42:48 But I wanted it the way Kurt wanted it.
00:42:51 I always will.
00:42:54 Kurt is not very well.
00:42:56 There aren't many parts of Europe
00:43:01 You've always said you wanted us.
00:43:03 So Kurt brought us home.
00:43:07 If you don't want us, we will understand.
00:43:10 We want you very much.
00:43:12 Forever, or however long you want.
00:43:15 I'm old and made of dry cork
00:43:19 Oh, be still, Mama.
00:43:23 I only want to be foolishly happy.
00:43:26 - Is our old garden still there?
00:43:28 But we've made the pond larger
00:43:32 Oh, let's go.
00:43:34 Go on.
00:43:38 You're a kind woman, madame.
00:43:40 That's what she's always said.
00:43:42 I have disrespectful children.
00:43:45 My children are together again.
00:43:49 Come now,
00:43:52 I shall send you up a sherry
00:43:54 And perhaps an eggnog too.
00:43:55 I'm a great believer in eggnogs
00:44:00 - How do you do?
00:44:02 He and his wife are staying for a while.
00:44:06 How do you do?
00:44:07 Would it be impertinent for one
00:44:11 - Thank you, sir.
00:44:14 Did you live in Paris? I was in
00:44:18 No, we have not met before.
00:44:20 If it is possible to believe,
00:44:24 Strange. I have a feeling...
00:44:27 It is interesting. I have always had a
00:44:31 But yours is most difficult to place.
00:44:35 My accent is difficult to place,
00:44:38 ...because I speak other languages.
00:44:40 - Yours would be Romanian?
00:44:44 My grandchildren are charming.
00:44:46 - Your grandchildren have to be charming.
00:45:13 Papa, this is the house of great wonders.
00:45:16 Each has his bed.
00:45:18 The arrangement of it,
00:45:21 You're a fancy talker, Bodo.
00:45:23 Oh, yes. In many languages.
00:45:25 Please do correct me when I am wrong.
00:45:27 Papa, the plumbing is such
00:45:30 Here, each implement
00:45:33 And all are simultaneous
00:45:36 You will therefore see
00:45:40 ...allows of no rats, rodents or crawlers,
00:45:45 Papa likes to know
00:45:48 And he is so fond of being clean.
00:45:50 I am a hero to my children.
00:45:54 Yes, it is a fine bathroom.
00:45:58 Well, trapping the mice there
00:46:01 Goodness. And now you must have
00:46:14 I hear they've arrived.
00:46:18 What has David told you
00:46:20 What has David told me?
00:46:23 - What is there to tell?
00:46:27 David said they'd been in Czechoslovakia,
00:46:32 These are all countries that Germany
00:46:36 It is the German practice to send into
00:46:42 I had thought Herr Muller...
00:46:45 ...might be such a man.
00:46:49 I do not think so now.
00:46:54 - What are you doing?
00:46:58 And a shabby briefcase
00:47:02 You're very curious about Mr. Muller.
00:47:04 I'm curious about a daughter
00:47:07 ...who marries a German
00:47:11 ...and broken bones in his hands.
00:47:13 Is he any business of yours?
00:47:15 - Why, anything might be my business now.
00:47:19 Well, you sound very bitter
00:47:22 Are you in love with David?
00:47:24 - What kind of talk is this?
00:47:27 I like him.
00:47:29 Yes, and he likes you.
00:47:32 Please find out from him
00:47:35 I will certainly do no such thing.
00:47:38 Ask your friends at the embassy.
00:47:41 Yes. But I do not like to ask questions
00:47:46 Teck, leave these people alone.
00:47:48 They've evidently had a tough enough time.
00:47:51 Won't let me interfere?
00:47:53 You are in love with David.
00:47:56 You will go with me
00:48:33 On Saturday, Madame Fanny and I
00:48:36 Before that I have taken
00:48:39 First, Madame Fanny has delivered
00:48:43 ...that all must be finished in a week.
00:48:46 Savitt's?
00:48:48 Clothes for all of you. In an amount
00:48:53 Dresses, suits, summer clothes,
00:48:55 All must be done with the hand sewing.
00:48:58 How nice. How very, very nice of Mama.
00:49:03 What is so nice of Mama?
00:49:05 You are to say nothing. I gave my word.
00:49:08 Everything is nice of Mama.
00:49:11 Certainly. We've been in the attic
00:49:15 You know, I find that Joshua
00:49:18 Your father would have liked that.
00:49:20 Goodness.
00:49:24 - Where did the dress come from?
00:49:27 Remember when I was a little girl
00:49:30 That came in handy years later.
00:49:33 Often when Kurt...
00:49:36 ...I made dresses and earned enough
00:49:40 ...and send the children to school.
00:49:42 You sewed for a living?
00:49:44 Really, were these things necessary?
00:49:48 Mama, you've asked me that 20 times
00:49:51 I think it is only that Grandma
00:49:55 Grandma has not seen
00:49:57 She does not understand that a great many
00:50:01 Now, don't you start giving me lectures.
00:50:07 Psst.
00:50:12 Ask Herr Muller to come up here.
00:50:14 - Why?
00:50:16 Because he is a man in love with his wife
00:50:20 You are getting so old
00:50:23 ...the matters of delicacy
00:50:37 Me?
00:50:41 I had forgotten.
00:50:53 Liebe, Sara. You are beautiful.
00:50:59 How many years
00:51:04 It makes you have tears.
00:51:08 If you say that, I'll tear it off.
00:51:10 No. No.
00:51:13 Then I do not say it.
00:51:15 I do not think it.
00:51:17 I only think with pride
00:51:24 Anise has put me together with pins.
00:51:29 If you had not married me
00:51:33 ...would you have married me today?
00:51:36 I'm so tired, so shabby.
00:51:42 I would have married you
00:51:51 With Mama, what you need is not to be
00:51:55 Anything she doesn't like,
00:51:58 Yes. And it's worked
00:52:00 She thinks of me only
00:52:02 And a not-very-well-made monument
00:52:04 Yes. And since you're worth a good deal
00:52:11 Marthe's a nice girl, I think.
00:52:13 Kurt thinks so too,
00:52:17 You are very much in love with Kurt.
00:52:20 Oh, yes. I've been a happy woman.
00:52:22 David, Kurt's a sick man.
00:52:26 The wound he got in Spain
00:52:29 And then about six months ago
00:52:33 Even the week here has done him good.
00:52:35 But he'll never be able to go back
00:52:40 You know, darling...
00:52:41 ...I don't think I understand
00:52:50 Come along, Babbie.
00:52:55 How long has Marthe
00:52:58 I don't know. When she was very young.
00:53:01 You know,
00:53:04 Scares you?
00:53:05 You and Mama,
00:53:08 ...you don't know what it is
00:53:10 Unfortunately,
00:53:13 Uncle David, I have invited
00:53:16 ...to join our sightseeing trip.
00:53:20 Very, very agreeable.
00:53:24 - You're a nice girl, Babbie.
00:53:42 To look down at such a great height
00:53:48 Where is our house?
00:53:50 Uh...
00:53:52 See beyond the city?
00:53:54 Yes.
00:53:55 Where the road bends away
00:53:59 - Yes.
00:54:05 But, Miss Fanny, you know
00:54:09 - You're getting out of practice.
00:54:13 Miss Sara is better-looking.
00:54:17 Don't you think Miss Sara
00:54:20 You call that good cleaning?
00:54:22 That silver has lasted for 200 years
00:54:26 Not the way you treat it, Miss Fanny.
00:54:30 I watch you at the table
00:54:32 "There's Miss Fanny,
00:54:35 I was using a knife and fork
00:54:39 You told me the next time you screamed
00:54:43 You call that screaming?
00:54:46 All right.
00:54:48 I ask your pardon.
00:54:53 Now clean that silver.
00:55:00 It's very warm in Washington today.
00:55:03 You'll forgive us.
00:55:05 - I will forgive you.
00:55:08 She went on the sightseeing trip
00:55:11 - And David.
00:55:12 Well, I daresay she'll be back
00:55:15 I hope so.
00:58:10 Baron von Ramme, please.
00:58:13 Phili? How are you?
00:58:15 The other night in the poker game,
00:58:20 Wasn't that his name?
00:58:22 Yes. Max Freidank. I think you said
00:58:26 What does he look like?
00:58:27 That is not my department.
00:58:31 Blecher, the bloody Butcher Boy,
00:58:35 If you're up to what I think,
00:58:37 Max Freidank, more dead than alive
00:58:40 ...was arrested in Frankfurt
00:58:42 - What?
00:58:45 You've come a long way,
00:58:49 Hello. L...
00:58:51 Hello.
00:58:57 Home again.
00:59:17 Shall I wait for you, Sara?
00:59:19 No. Go along downstairs.
00:59:22 I find I'm becoming very vain.
00:59:24 It takes me a long time to get dressed.
00:59:27 Each night now, I wait for you
00:59:42 Herr Muller, all day a discussion
00:59:46 You shall settle it.
00:59:48 Who is the better-looking,
00:59:52 Many years away, of course.
00:59:53 I don't consider him an impartial judge.
00:59:56 Both are of a great beauty.
00:59:57 I am not a man
01:00:00 No. I should not think you were.
01:00:28 - Mellie Sewell called this afternoon.
01:00:31 Mrs. Sewell brings Mama
01:00:33 She gets it all wrong,
01:00:37 Mama fixes it.
01:00:40 Certainly, I sharpen it.
01:00:43 - Twenty-five.
01:00:45 Yes. He was stationed in Paris
01:00:48 I forget that you were a diplomat.
01:00:51 Something insane
01:00:53 Pure insane. Twenty-eight with a pair.
01:00:56 Well, I could have married
01:00:59 Any American, not crippled,
01:01:01 He was crazy about me.
01:01:04 Later, when he was ambassador and had
01:01:08 ...someone asked
01:01:11 I said, "I regret it every day
01:01:14 You understand what I mean?
01:01:16 Styles in wit change so.
01:01:18 We understood.
01:01:21 The briefcase has been opened.
01:01:26 There's no money missing,
01:01:30 The gun was put back
01:01:47 Seventeen for goal.
01:01:49 Oh, as I was saying,
01:01:51 ...that you were playing
01:01:53 ...at the German Embassy
01:01:57 ...and Sam Chandler, who is a relative
01:02:01 Nazis and Sam Chandler
01:02:05 I do not gamble to be amused.
01:02:06 Oh, really? Then we'll certainly stop.
01:02:09 I owe you $8 and 50 cents.
01:02:11 Herr Muller,
01:02:14 ...was your government military attaché
01:02:18 My government attaché?
01:02:20 He was the German government attaché
01:02:23 I know his name, of course.
01:02:25 But he was not attached to the side
01:02:28 I thought you might have known him.
01:02:31 We do not know Nazis,
01:02:33 No? I should have known that.
01:02:36 You are people who have lived
01:02:40 You, therefore, must have had hopes
01:02:43 ...would be overthrown
01:02:46 We have not given up that hope.
01:02:48 - Have you?
01:02:51 Then it must be most difficult
01:02:54 What is that you're playing?
01:02:56 It was a German soldier's song. They
01:03:00 I remember hearing it in Berlin.
01:03:03 - Were you there then, Herr Muller?
01:03:06 - But you were in the war, of course.
01:03:09 You didn't think then you'd live
01:03:12 Many of us were afraid we would.
01:03:14 All of us haven't been so isolated
01:03:18 What are the words?
01:03:21 This is what you heard in 1918 in Berlin.
01:03:35 We come home, we come home
01:03:38 Some of us are gone
01:03:42 But we are friends
01:03:46 Someday, someday we shall meet again
01:03:50 Farewell
01:03:52 And then at quarter to 6 in the morning
01:03:56 ...18 years later, 500 of us Germans
01:04:01 ...on our way to fight the fascist swine
01:04:05 We felt good that morning.
01:04:08 You know how it is to feel you're good
01:04:13 So we had the need of new words
01:04:17 I translate, of course,
01:04:23 And so we have met again
01:04:26 The blood did not have time to dry
01:04:30 And we lived to stand and fight again
01:04:33 This time we fight for people
01:04:35 This time we'll keep their hands away
01:04:39 Those who sell the blood of other men
01:04:43 For us to stand, for us to fight
01:04:47 This time, no farewell, no farewell
01:04:54 Well, we did not win.
01:04:58 It would have been a different world
01:05:00 Herr Muller, it does
01:05:03 ...that you should settle yourself
01:05:06 Perhaps.
01:05:08 When did you leave
01:05:11 In 1931.
01:05:13 After the Budapest oil deal?
01:05:17 That must have been a thing
01:05:21 Fritz Thyssen, who made the money
01:05:26 Everybody was trying to guess
01:05:30 ...was just a smart blind of Thyssen's
01:05:34 It is too bad.
01:05:36 - You guessed an inch off, eh?
01:05:39 - And Nazis have good memories?
01:05:43 You seem to know more about me
01:05:46 And yet, I still have a feeling
01:05:50 And that feeling has been so insistent
01:05:55 But bad guesses.
01:05:57 I thought you might be Max Freidank.
01:06:01 Freidank is a great hero to my people.
01:06:04 - You do me too much honor.
01:06:07 I found that out.
01:06:09 This is in today's Washington papers.
01:06:13 "Zurich, Switzerland:
01:06:16 ...a dispatch from the Berliner Tageblatt
01:06:21 Freidank is said to be the chief
01:06:25 The son of the famous General Freidank,
01:06:29 ...and a distinguished physicist
01:06:33 That is bad news for you, Mrs. Muller?
01:06:36 I'm most sorry.
01:06:37 He was a friend of yours?
01:06:40 He was a friend to all decent Germans.
01:06:44 A friend to all decent people,
01:06:47 Well, it's what often happens to heroes,
01:06:52 Marthe must be ready by now.
01:06:56 We will be back early, Herr Muller.
01:06:58 I do not like long dinner parties.
01:07:01 Your hands are shaking.
01:07:09 My hands were broken.
01:07:13 Fear for Freidank, you mean?
01:07:15 I am a man who has many kinds of fears.
01:07:18 I do not think
01:07:21 No. I do not think
01:07:24 That is bad.
01:07:29 I daresay. Good night.
01:07:36 Kurt. Kurt.
01:07:40 It may not be true.
01:07:42 I am going to use the phone in your
01:07:55 - What is it, darling? What...?
01:07:58 I don't know all of it yet.
01:08:01 I do know that he broke open
01:08:04 And he saw what we carry with us.
01:08:07 And he knows about Freidank...
01:08:10 ...which probably means
01:08:12 What do you mean, what you carry with you
01:08:16 - L...
01:08:19 He has for seven years.
01:08:21 We're carrying with us $23,000 dollars.
01:08:24 It's been collected here and in Mexico...
01:08:26 ...from the pennies and nickels
01:08:31 ...and who believe in the work we do.
01:08:34 It was to be picked up and taken back
01:08:40 Max and Kurt.
01:08:44 They loved each other.
01:08:46 They were in the war together.
01:08:49 Once in Spain,
01:08:54 "I make you a medal
01:09:00 And once, six months ago...
01:09:02 ...Max rescued Kurt from the Gestapo
01:09:08 Max carried him on his back
01:09:14 But they caught him in the end.
01:09:17 If Max was caught...
01:09:20 ...nobody's got much
01:09:23 Nobody.
01:09:25 But wasn't it careless
01:09:29 No, it wasn't careless.
01:09:34 There didn't seem to be any safer place
01:09:38 It was careless of you and David
01:09:42 - Yes. It was very careless.
01:09:46 The world has changed, Mama.
01:09:48 And some of the people in it
01:09:51 It's time you knew that.
01:10:00 It is true.
01:10:02 But he is not dead.
01:10:05 Hans and Ernst were taken with him.
01:10:09 Max is not an easy man to kill.
01:10:14 But most of his face and one arm...
01:10:19 It is not nice when it comes.
01:10:27 Well, Sara...
01:10:31 - No.
01:10:35 But Max knows you're not well enough.
01:10:38 But now I am more well than he is.
01:10:45 When?
01:10:48 I think tonight, Sara, darling.
01:10:50 But I do not know.
01:10:53 It will depend on
01:10:57 What will depend upon the count?
01:11:00 Did he steal the money?
01:11:03 He's not a man who steals.
01:11:06 It will come another way.
01:11:08 But why are you afraid of him?
01:11:10 You're in this country now.
01:11:15 We will see.
01:11:18 We will wait and we will see.
01:11:23 Kurt's not going to be in this country.
01:11:27 He's going back to get them out.
01:11:32 Is that right, Kurt?
01:11:33 Is that right?
01:11:35 Yes, darling. I must try.
01:11:38 They were taken to Sonnenberg
01:11:42 It has been done once before
01:11:45 I will try for it that way.
01:11:51 Of course you must go back.
01:11:53 I guess I was trying to think
01:11:58 Kurt's got to go back.
01:12:00 He's got to go home.
01:12:02 It's hard enough to get back...
01:12:05 ...but if they knew he was coming...
01:12:09 They want Kurt bad.
01:12:15 All right, Kurt.
01:12:18 You'll do it. You'll get them out.
01:12:22 Kurt will do it. You'll see.
01:12:25 Don't be afraid, darling. You'll get back.
01:12:29 You'll get Max out all right.
01:12:31 And then you'll do his work, won't you?
01:12:33 And you'll do a good job.
01:12:35 The way you've always done.
01:12:38 Don't be afraid, darling.
01:12:41 You'll get home.
01:12:42 Yes, you will. You'll get home.
01:12:46 What is it, Mama?
01:12:59 You will be told later.
01:13:02 Don't worry now.
01:13:06 Will you go in to dinner, please?
01:13:09 We'll come in a minute.
01:13:19 Marthe...
01:13:21 ...much has been going wrong.
01:13:25 But suppose... Suppose we could go back
01:13:28 And with a little money.
01:13:30 Do you think we might pick up again
01:13:33 What we've lost?
01:13:35 I don't think there was ever
01:13:38 And I left nothing in Europe
01:13:41 You have other plans?
01:13:44 I will tell you what to do.
01:13:46 We are leaving the Farrelly house.
01:13:49 Anything going wrong back there?
01:13:52 - Drop me at the German Embassy.
01:13:57 Now, go on to dinner.
01:14:06 Well, how did you manage
01:14:09 Count de Brancovis,
01:14:13 That is commendable.
01:14:15 Your people caught Max Freidank.
01:14:17 Are there any others close
01:14:21 We want them all.
01:14:24 If I should know where one or more
01:14:29 ...what would that information
01:14:35 It would depend on who they were
01:14:40 In the United States,
01:14:45 - Nothing.
01:14:49 What are we to do here?
01:14:51 Have them assassinated in an alley?
01:14:54 Kidnap them?
01:14:55 Follow them for months, hoping we'll know
01:15:00 Here are the lists.
01:15:01 With such men as these, that is not easy.
01:15:06 But show us where we can put our hands
01:15:11 ...or in any of the countries where we
01:15:16 You could name your own price,
01:15:19 We might also manage a visa for you.
01:15:22 I'm sure you are homesick
01:15:27 ...and the rest of the decaying things
01:15:32 Blecher, we do not like each other.
01:15:36 But that will not stand in the way
01:15:54 Would you stop that pacing about?
01:15:56 Please.
01:15:59 And tomorrow,
01:16:02 ...I shall go and buy presents
01:16:04 We always do that here.
01:16:05 It started because I didn't like not
01:16:11 And we'll have music in the evening.
01:16:16 Yes. Yes, we'll have a fine time.
01:16:18 - You think you fool us.
01:16:22 Something has gone wrong.
01:16:24 Always Mama and Papa look like that
01:16:29 You must not be nervous
01:16:32 We will do whatever it is
01:16:35 Yes, you... You always have.
01:16:39 Now, would you go upstairs?
01:16:40 Later I will come and say good night.
01:16:46 - Good night.
01:17:11 You're going away again,
01:17:15 Yes.
01:17:17 You must let me come along.
01:17:19 I will help in... In small ways.
01:17:22 I will learn. You will teach me.
01:17:25 I am not as yet a man...
01:17:27 ...and it would not be of such importance
01:17:35 I will give you some rules now.
01:17:39 Please remember them, Joshua.
01:17:41 And never to disobey them.
01:17:45 Our forces are small.
01:17:47 Therefore, we must risk no more men
01:17:51 ...than it is needed to carry it out.
01:17:53 Always in our work,
01:17:56 That is wrong.
01:17:57 We are not here
01:18:00 ...and not to be modest, either, and say:
01:18:02 "I am not important.
01:18:05 He takes the risk who is entitled to it.
01:18:08 Soon you will be a man.
01:18:11 Never have I doubted that for you.
01:18:13 Also...
01:18:15 ...this will be what a man
01:18:18 I'm right?
01:18:20 Of course, Papa.
01:18:22 You are young.
01:18:24 You are smart. You are strong.
01:18:27 You are a fine investment for our work...
01:18:30 ...when the time comes.
01:18:32 In the meantime, I give you orders.
01:18:35 You think...
01:18:36 ...you've trained yourself
01:18:40 Your day is not so distant.
01:18:43 If it should come
01:18:49 It is not wise, perhaps,
01:18:52 ...but the world goes bad...
01:18:54 ...and who knows
01:18:58 Therefore, with delicacy and care,
01:19:04 ...when his time too shall come.
01:19:05 God help us.
01:19:11 Go upstairs now.
01:19:12 Say nothing to the others.
01:19:14 I will come later.
01:19:26 Does Kurt intend
01:19:29 - Is that what he said?
01:19:32 It's all very strange to me.
01:19:34 I thought things were so well run that...
01:19:36 What wonderful work
01:19:38 ...in convincing people
01:19:41 They've done very well
01:19:44 But not by themselves.
01:19:47 We don't like to remember, do we,
01:19:51 ...of some of the most powerful men
01:19:54 That makes us feel guilty
01:19:57 ...that they're mysterious men
01:20:00 Well, they aren't.
01:20:02 They're smart and they're sick...
01:20:05 ...and they're cruel.
01:20:07 But, given men who know what they
01:20:13 Yes.
01:20:15 Given men
01:20:18 I will console you.
01:20:20 A year ago last month,
01:20:23 ...Freidank and I,
01:20:25 ...raided the home of the Gestapo chief
01:20:28 We got what we wanted,
01:20:31 ...Freidank was eating his breakfast
01:20:34 ...and I was over the Swiss border.
01:20:36 You are brave men.
01:20:39 I do not tell you the story
01:20:42 ...but to prove that they are not.
01:20:44 Would you like a drink?
01:20:46 You look... You look very tired.
01:20:49 It is waiting...
01:20:52 ...waiting that is bad for me.
01:20:54 But I really don't understand
01:20:58 Now, I mean.
01:20:59 I think the Count de Brancovis
01:21:04 I wait now to see
01:21:07 Beyond that, I myself,
01:21:11 But there's nothing he can do.
01:21:13 Waiting.
01:21:16 Once, in Spain...
01:21:17 ...I waited two days for the
01:21:23 I say finally to myself,
01:21:28 ...I will stop them.
01:21:33 It is such waiting for which I am not fit.
01:21:36 You will not think that
01:21:38 - It will go.
01:21:41 But must it always be your hands?
01:21:44 For each man, his own hands.
01:21:48 That's right.
01:21:50 But... But you have a family.
01:21:53 Isn't there somebody else
01:21:57 Each could find his own excuse.
01:21:59 Some have bullet holes, some have fear
01:22:04 Each could find a reason. Many find it.
01:22:08 And my children are not the only children
01:22:11 That's noble of you, of course, but...
01:22:14 One means always in English
01:22:17 - Of course not.
01:22:20 It is only the way I must live.
01:22:22 But I was thinking of Sara.
01:22:24 I want it this way, Mama.
01:22:29 You wanted a good life for your children.
01:22:32 We want it for ours too.
01:22:35 This is Kurt's way
01:22:43 Good evening.
01:22:44 There's something bad happening,
01:22:48 I have been to the German Embassy
01:22:52 Yes. That's where
01:22:56 I don't know what this is all about,
01:22:59 I have nothing to do with any of it. And
01:23:04 If you do not mean what you're saying,
01:23:06 You are talking most unwisely.
01:23:08 You are trying to frighten me.
01:23:11 I'm not going away with you
01:23:14 - Shall we talk about this alone?
01:23:17 You can't make stay now
01:23:20 - No, perhaps not.
01:23:24 You're in love with him?
01:23:25 You never can understand anything
01:23:29 I don't like you, Teck. I never have.
01:23:32 We will not leave here together
01:23:37 Not now.
01:23:41 Good night.
01:23:43 Well...
01:23:45 A great many things have been said
01:23:48 David, am I to understand...?
01:23:49 You are to understand anything you like.
01:23:52 Without Marthe,
01:23:55 Already, I'm a very poor one.
01:23:59 Before I go tonight,
01:24:03 - You, blackmailing with your wife, you...
01:24:06 The Count de Brancovis is not bargaining
01:24:10 He is talking to me.
01:24:12 Is that correct?
01:24:14 Good.
01:24:15 I see that you understand.
01:24:17 I got from the embassy
01:24:21 ...without, of course,
01:24:23 But if I have to take any more of that,
01:24:28 You will not again be interrupted.
01:24:30 Very well.
01:24:33 And among the descriptions is this,
01:24:38 ...because that is the name
01:24:43 "Age, 40 to 45. About 6 feet.
01:24:48 Many descriptions.
01:24:51 Married to a foreign woman,
01:24:54 Three children.
01:24:55 Has used the names of Gotter,
01:24:59 Thought to have left Germany in 1933 and
01:25:03 Known to have crossed border in 1934,
01:25:07 And again, with Freidank in 1935...
01:25:09 ...and in August, October,
01:25:13 An active man, this Gotter.
01:25:15 Yes. Very.
01:25:17 It would've been impossible for a magician
01:25:21 Really? Well, to go on.
01:25:23 "In 1934, outlaw radio station announcing
01:25:29 Gotter was known to have crossed border
01:25:34 Gotter believed to have then appeared
01:25:38 Known to have lived in France
01:25:41 Again, crossed border
01:25:44 ...when Hitler's Hamburg radio speech
01:25:48 That was a daring deed, Herr Muller.
01:25:50 I remember it well. It amused me.
01:25:53 - It was not done for that reason.
01:25:56 "Early in 1939, an informer in Konstanz
01:26:02 ...carrying money
01:26:04 Following day,
01:26:07 ...was raided by two men
01:26:11 Herr Muller, that job took two good men.
01:26:14 Even you admire them.
01:26:17 Even I.
01:26:19 Now, I think you are Gotter,
01:26:23 Please do not describe me
01:26:25 I think that because Freidank has been
01:26:28 If I am wrong, and you will not be going
01:26:32 I am going back.
01:26:34 I will start tonight.
01:26:35 So. You tell me free of charge.
01:26:39 Well, I will tell you free of charge...
01:26:41 ...that I do not believe they've
01:26:44 Thank you.
01:26:46 But I was sure they would not.
01:26:49 They will be able to stand up under...
01:26:54 Yes. There is a deep sickness
01:26:58 A love of death, a love of pain.
01:27:00 - Spare us your moral judgments.
01:27:03 - Get on with your dirty business.
01:27:07 They do not understand our world.
01:27:09 And if they are fortunate, they never will.
01:27:11 All fascists are not of one mind,
01:27:15 There are those who give the orders...
01:27:17 ...and there those who take them.
01:27:19 They came late.
01:27:20 Some of them were, up to a point,
01:27:24 For these,
01:27:26 They are lost men.
01:27:28 Their spoils are small.
01:27:32 You have the understanding heart.
01:27:35 - Someday, it will get in your way.
01:27:37 We are both men in trouble, Herr Muller.
01:27:39 The world, perhaps ungratefully, seems to
01:27:44 Now let us do business.
01:27:47 You will not get back if I inform
01:27:50 - They will see that you are killed before.
01:27:54 I will not be killed before I get there.
01:27:56 I will get back.
01:27:58 There are men
01:28:01 I would be allowed
01:28:03 Until they had all the names
01:28:06 Romanians would pick me up
01:28:08 Germans would not.
01:28:10 - Still the national pride?
01:28:13 I haven't felt what I feel now. Whatever
01:28:18 ...the picture of a man
01:28:20 Is very ugly, Madame Fanny.
01:28:23 And I must therefore
01:28:28 - You have over $20,000 in your briefcase.
01:28:32 For $ 10,000 you can go back
01:28:36 No one will know that you go,
01:28:38 - What?
01:28:40 That money will go back with me
01:28:43 It was not given to me to save my life
01:28:47 It is to save the lives
01:28:50 And it is important to me
01:28:53 And, Count de Brancovis...
01:28:55 ...the first morning when we arrived
01:28:59 That is because we were not able
01:29:03 If I wouldn't touch that money for them,
01:29:05 It goes back with me as it is.
01:29:07 And if it does not get back,
01:29:11 I do not think you will get back.
01:29:13 You're a brave one, Herr Muller,
01:29:17 I will send you a postal card
01:29:21 Is it true that if this swine talks,
01:29:24 Will be caught and killed.
01:29:26 If they're lucky enough
01:29:29 All right. We'll give him the money.
01:29:31 Let's give it to him
01:29:38 Do you want him to go back?
01:29:41 Yes, I do.
01:29:44 All right.
01:29:46 You're a good girl, Sara.
01:29:52 If we give you the money, what's to keep
01:29:55 I do not like your thinking I'd do that.
01:29:57 Look, I'm sick of what you'd like
01:30:00 We'll get this over
01:30:02 I can't take much more of you
01:30:05 But it is your anger which delays us.
01:30:07 I suggest that you give me
01:30:10 ...and the rest in a check
01:30:13 In a month, Muller should be home,
01:30:16 ...and that I have kept my bargain. We are
01:30:20 But I suppose one always does
01:30:25 Is a month all right?
01:30:28 I do not know.
01:30:30 Two months. How do you want the check,
01:30:33 One month. That I will not discuss.
01:30:36 One month. Please decide now.
01:30:40 All right. How do you want it?
01:30:42 Seventy-five hundred in a check,
01:30:45 Leave your address.
01:30:47 Address? I have no address.
01:30:50 I haven't that much cash in the house.
01:30:52 I have 15 or 1600
01:30:55 Very well, that will do.
01:30:59 Get it, Mama.
01:31:13 The new world has left the room.
01:31:16 I feel less discomfort with you.
01:31:19 We are Europeans,
01:31:23 - My wife is not European.
01:31:27 They are young.
01:31:30 For us, the three of us...
01:31:33 ...we're like peasants watching
01:31:40 But no need to call curses at the frost.
01:31:43 There it is. There it will be again.
01:31:48 Me and my husband and I do not have
01:31:53 It goes deeper than that with us.
01:31:55 We know how many there are of you.
01:31:59 They don't, yet.
01:32:02 My mother and brother feel shocked
01:32:06 We have seen you in so many houses.
01:32:10 I do not say that you want
01:32:13 I say only that you do.
01:32:17 Yes, you are not difficult to understand.
01:32:27 - Whiskey?
01:32:33 Brandy?
01:32:35 Thank you, I will.
01:32:38 You, too, wish to go back
01:32:40 Yes.
01:32:42 But they do not much want you there.
01:32:44 I do not think the embassy
01:32:47 ...for a description of a man
01:32:50 But I think they would pay you in a visa.
01:32:54 And I think you want a visa
01:32:57 I conclude that you will try for the money
01:33:01 I cannot get anywhere near Germany
01:33:06 I've been bored with this talk
01:33:09 If they are willing to try you
01:33:13 Unlike you, I am not a gambler,
01:33:19 Get up, please.
01:33:37 I wish nobody to come outside.
01:34:33 Hello?
01:34:34 What time is your next plane?
01:34:37 To...
01:34:38 To south.
01:34:40 To El Paso or Brownsville.
01:34:44 Yes.
01:34:50 - Where is he, upstairs?
01:34:54 - They went outside?
01:34:58 Yes?
01:35:00 Oh, that's all right.
01:35:02 No, the ticket
01:35:05 Uh...
01:35:07 Ritter.
01:35:08 R- I-T-T-E-R.
01:35:11 From Chicago. Yes.
01:35:13 Sara, what is this? What's happening?
01:35:15 No.
01:35:17 Don't interfere now.
01:35:19 Either of you.
01:35:22 I know when I'm a loser. I give my word.
01:35:24 Your word. What guarantees, what bonds
01:35:29 No substance to you.
01:35:32 You are not even a coward.
01:35:33 If I try to frighten you into silence, by
01:35:37 You are a fool.
01:35:39 You play with men's lives
01:35:42 You and all your shabby kind.
01:35:45 Tonight, before you come home,
01:35:48 I pray that you will have done nothing.
01:35:52 I do not like to kill this way.
01:35:54 Listen to me, I...
01:35:57 I give you advice.
01:36:01 They will not now do you good.
01:36:04 You will be better without them.
01:36:15 I think it's all over now.
01:36:19 There's nothing you can do about it.
01:36:21 It's the way it had to be.
01:36:26 He's going away now.
01:36:29 I don't think
01:36:33 Never. Never, never.
01:36:38 I don't like to be alone at night.
01:36:43 I guess everybody in the world
01:36:47 Me, it's right before I go to sleep.
01:36:52 And now it's going to be for always.
01:36:56 All the rest of my life.
01:37:11 I've told them.
01:37:14 I've made you a reservation
01:37:18 In the name of Ritter.
01:37:25 Liebe, Sara.
01:37:40 It is hard for you.
01:37:42 - I am sorry.
01:37:46 I don't...
01:37:58 Before I come in...
01:38:01 ...I stand and think.
01:38:03 I say I will make Fanny
01:38:07 I say, "How can I?"
01:38:10 Does one understand the killing?
01:38:13 No.
01:38:15 So in the end, what is there to say?
01:38:18 Then do not try to explain, I say.
01:38:21 I do what must be done.
01:38:23 I have long sickened the words
01:38:28 I've stopped a man's life.
01:38:33 I sit here and listen to him.
01:38:36 I want only for you to believe
01:38:39 ...and then I know
01:38:41 I know if I do not,
01:38:44 ...risk the lives of others
01:38:47 So I want you from the room.
01:38:51 All right.
01:38:53 Do I now pretend sorrow?
01:38:55 Do I now pretend
01:38:58 I do it. I have done it before.
01:39:03 And I will do it again.
01:39:05 And I will always keep my hope...
01:39:07 ...that we may make a world
01:39:10 I have great hate for the violent.
01:39:13 They are the sick of the world.
01:39:20 Maybe I am sick now too.
01:39:22 Oh, stop it, Kurt. That isn't true.
01:39:25 It's late. You have to go soon.
01:39:29 Yes.
01:39:33 Now I am going to take your car.
01:39:35 I will take him with me.
01:39:37 After that, it is up to you.
01:39:39 Two ways: You can let me go
01:39:42 I believe I can hide him in the car.
01:39:43 At the end of two days,
01:39:46 ...you call your police, tell them as much
01:39:50 I will have left the country,
01:39:54 If you will give me those two days...
01:39:56 ...I believe I will be far
01:39:59 And if the car is found before then,
01:40:03 I do not think for the world
01:40:07 Inside yourselves...
01:40:09 ...that is for you to decide.
01:40:11 You may take the other way.
01:40:13 I'm going to say goodbye
01:40:16 That will give you time to call the police.
01:40:19 I will still leave,
01:40:31 Papa wrote it years ago.
01:40:35 Papa said the only men on Earth
01:40:39 ...were the men
01:40:42 Papa said...
01:40:45 ...we have struggled through
01:40:48 But man moves forward with each day...
01:40:52 ...and each hour to a better, freer life.
01:40:55 That desire to go forward...
01:40:59 ...that willingness to fight for it...
01:41:01 ...cannot be put in a man.
01:41:07 Please let him go back.
01:41:10 Of course, darling.
01:41:13 We'll take care of things here.
01:41:15 It's a fine thing
01:41:19 I would like to have been like you.
01:41:48 We have said many goodbyes
01:41:52 Well, we will now
01:41:56 But this time,
01:41:59 ...to whom you, I believe,
01:42:02 Would you allow me to give away
01:42:06 - If you would like it.
01:42:09 Then, to Mama, her share.
01:42:11 My share to Fanny and David.
01:42:14 It is all and it is the most I have to give.
01:42:20 There.
01:42:22 I've made a will.
01:42:25 But now we will not joke.
01:42:27 I have something to say
01:42:30 You are talking to us
01:42:35 Am I, Babbie?
01:42:37 I wish you were children.
01:42:39 I wish I could say to you, love your
01:42:43 ...clean your teeth.
01:42:46 I cannot say these things to you.
01:42:48 You are not children.
01:42:51 We have had a most enjoyable life, Papa.
01:42:55 You are a gallant little liar.
01:43:01 I have done something bad tonight.
01:43:03 - You could not do a bad thing.
01:43:06 Now, let us get straight together.
01:43:08 The four of us.
01:43:11 Do you remember
01:43:14 You remember
01:43:16 ...and Bodo got candy on Mama's bed?
01:43:19 I remember.
01:43:20 Well...
01:43:22 ...the man in the book stole bread.
01:43:25 "The world is out of shape,"
01:43:29 And until it gets in shape,
01:43:35 ...and kill.
01:43:38 But for whatever reason it's done,
01:43:41 ...you understand it, it is all bad.
01:43:43 I want you to remember that.
01:43:45 Whoever does it, it's bad.
01:43:48 But you will live to see the day
01:43:52 All over the world,
01:43:55 ...there are men who are going
01:43:58 They want what I want.
01:43:59 A childhood for every child.
01:44:05 Think of that.
01:44:06 It will make you happy.
01:44:07 In every town, every village,
01:44:11 ...there is always a man
01:44:13 ...and who will fight
01:44:20 Goodbye now.
01:44:25 Wait for me.
01:44:27 I shall try to come back for you.
01:44:33 Or you shall come to me.
01:44:35 The boat will come in
01:44:40 And I will be waiting
01:44:43 And there will be the three
01:44:47 And I will have ordered
01:44:50 ...and we will show them
01:44:53 Of course, Papa.
01:44:57 Of course.
01:45:01 Do it well.
01:45:10 - Good night, baby.
01:45:18 - Good night, son.
01:45:49 You go with our blessing.
01:45:51 We will take care of things here.
01:45:53 David and I would like to give you
01:46:05 A thank you is too small. L...
01:46:10 Goodbye.
01:46:13 Good luck.
01:46:23 Men who wish to live
01:46:28 I wish to live.
01:46:30 I wish to live with you.
01:46:33 Seventeen years.
01:46:36 It is as much for me today.
01:46:40 I have loved just once, and for all my life.
01:46:47 Come back for me, darling.
01:46:49 If you can.
01:46:52 I will try.
01:47:04 Goodbye to you all.
01:47:19 Bodo cries. Babette looks very queer.
01:47:23 I think you should come, Mama.
01:47:28 Bodo talks so fancy.
01:47:32 We forget sometimes he is a baby.
01:48:02 Well...
01:48:04 ...we've been shaken out
01:48:08 Yes. So we have.
01:48:11 Yes.
01:48:14 Well, tomorrow will be a hard day.
01:48:19 But we'll have Babbie's birthday dinner
01:48:23 I think you'd better go up to Marthe now.
01:48:28 Be as careful as you can.
01:48:32 Well, I think I'll go up and talk to Anise.
01:48:35 I like Anise best when I don't feel well.
01:48:38 Mama?
01:48:40 We're going to be in for trouble.
01:48:42 - You understand that?
01:48:45 We will manage.
01:48:49 And neither are you, I'm happy to learn.
01:49:23 Maybe we'll get a letter soon.
01:49:26 You can't tell.
01:49:30 After all, it isn't so easy to send word.
01:49:34 There have been long times before.
01:49:39 Don't you think so, Joshua?
01:49:42 Don't you think, maybe?
01:49:44 Maybe.
01:49:49 But you can't find Papa on a map.
01:49:52 No?
01:49:55 Are you using the map for your lessons?
01:50:00 No.
01:50:02 What do you mean, no?
01:50:05 What are you doing with that map?
01:50:08 Answer me, Joshua.
01:50:17 I... I was thinking
01:50:22 What are you talking about?
01:50:23 In five months, I will have a birthday.
01:50:26 If by then we have not yet had word
01:50:31 You have known it and I have known it.
01:50:33 But we have not wanted to speak of it.
01:50:35 What kind of talk is that?
01:50:39 You're only a child. I will not let you.
01:50:42 Do you hear me, Joshua?
01:50:43 I will not let you.
01:50:46 I do not believe that.
01:50:50 I believe that when my time will come,
01:50:53 I believe too, and I'll say it now...
01:50:57 ...that you will tell Bodo
01:51:00 ...and if the world stays bad so long...
01:51:02 ...you will send him after me
01:51:06 You are a brave lady, Mama.
01:51:08 And that is the way
01:51:15 Thank you, son.
01:51:18 That was a nice thing to say.
01:51:22 I'm not brave.
01:51:25 It isn't like that at all.
01:51:30 When the time comes...
01:51:33 ...when it comes...
01:51:36 ...I will do my best.
