00:00:00The End
00:00:30The End
00:01:00On a warm June day in the Rue Saint-Martin in Paris,
00:01:27there was a disturbance. Members of the French press were protesting their being barred from
00:01:32a secret conference. Inside, representatives of the United Nations were hearing a report
00:01:39from the head of a special fact-finding commission, a man named Dr. Heinrich Bernhardt. Bernhardt had
00:01:46a long proven record on international affairs. His report was sharp and concise. Facts and figures
00:01:53about turning the four allied zones of Germany into a single unified country. The session
00:01:59was dealing with something that might add a little harmony to this turbulent world. You
00:02:04can understand why the reporters were a bit put out. But was the young man impressed? Definitely
00:02:10not. You couldn't blame the American. It was the first time he'd ever seen Paris, and he
00:02:16really did take it in. From the street cafes on the Montmartre to the plaza in front of
00:02:22Notre Dame.
00:02:23240 steps up the Gothic spires, it was even more attractive. She was just like the picture
00:02:34postcards always said she was. The most beautiful city in the world. I turned stunning, exciting,
00:02:42peaceful.
00:02:53That's right. The dove of peace was a pigeon. A dead pigeon.
00:02:58All the same, the pigeon was set for a hero's funeral.
00:03:11Right in the shadows of La Sacre Coeur, the church that sits majestically on the Montmartre
00:03:17hill, overlooking Paris.
00:03:20Unfortunately, two things were overlooked in the funeral arrangements. Mama, and the fact
00:03:28that on some tables, pigeons make a pretty fair dish.
00:03:33Mama, don't you?
00:03:52Madame Rivard m'a dit que ça regardait la police.
00:03:54Voilà ce que nous avons trouvé attaché à l'aile d'un pigeon.
00:03:56Comment? Vous avez tué un pigeon?
00:03:58Oh non, Monsieur Langean, il était déjà mort. Les enfants l'ont trouvé.
00:04:00Bon, bon, bon, ça va, ça va.
00:04:09C'est grave?
00:04:12Allemand, German.
00:04:14The war was long over, and something like peace was supposed to be here.
00:04:18But written in German, it still sent fear into these simple people's hearts.
00:04:23This was something for higher authorities.
00:04:25They went to what the French call their deuxième bureau.
00:04:29That's their version of Scotland Yard, or the American FBI.
00:04:3721 et 45.
00:04:3921.45.
00:04:41The continental method of saying 9.45pm our time.
00:04:45That was about all they could get out of it.
00:04:58That and...
00:04:59Sulzbach.
00:05:03Yes, plenty to choose from.
00:05:04Plenty of Sulzbachs in occupied Germany.
00:05:07Several in every zone.
00:05:09Better notify the other occupation headquarters.
00:05:12The British Embassy.
00:05:13The United States.
00:05:14And the Soviet.
00:05:15But notify them of what?
00:05:17Of what happening in what Sulzbach?
00:05:189.45pm of what night?
00:05:22Six hours later, in the outer court of Paris' Gardelles station, where the railroad transportation office for the United States Army maintained a special window, the following incident took place.
00:05:35My name is Hans Schmidt.
00:05:36My name is Hans Schmidt.
00:05:37Six hours later, in the outer court of Paris' Gardelle Station, where the
00:05:43Railroad Transportation Office for the United States Army maintained a special
00:05:47window, the following incident took place.
00:05:52My name is Hans Schmidt.
00:06:05You have a ticket for me.
00:06:07Sorry, you don't seem to be on my list.
00:06:11Mother, it was only 20 minutes ago I was cleared.
00:06:14I was assured that...
00:06:16Paris to Frankfurt, eh?
00:06:21And on to Berlin.
00:06:23Sergeant Munson, sir.
00:06:24A fellow here named Schmidt.
00:06:26Hans Schmidt.
00:06:29Oh, yes, sir.
00:06:30Right, sir.
00:06:33Seems to be okay, Mr. Schmidt.
00:06:39Mr. Schmidt was on his way to the Main Sena, a United States Army train.
00:06:44A sort of traveling grand hotel for soldiers on leave and on orders.
00:06:49for war department clerks and wartime wives, displaced persons and diplomats.
00:07:00Right, sir.
00:07:01Third car down.
00:07:02Your papers, mister.
00:07:04Second car down.
00:07:06Second car down.
00:07:07Second car down.
00:07:09Second car down.
00:07:26How are you Russian?
00:07:28See you.
00:07:56Nein, ich trage das lieber selber.
00:08:02How's your German?
00:08:03It isn't. I think I get the idea, though.
00:08:20I know, we don't have any more German enemies, do we?
00:08:22No authorised ones, anyway.
00:08:26The American was in Compartment A.
00:08:29His travel orders read, name, Robert J. Lindley.
00:08:32Birthplace, Quincy, Illinois.
00:08:34Occupation, United States government agricultural expert.
00:08:39Compartment B, Lucien Mirbeau.
00:08:42Birthplace, Lyon, France.
00:08:44Occupation, Secretary.
00:08:46Compartment C, Herr Otto Fransen.
00:08:49Birthplace, Frankfurt, Germany.
00:08:51Once a German industrialist, now a dealer in scrap iron.
00:08:55Compartment D, unoccupied, but being held for person of importance.
00:09:01Change for Berlin.
00:09:02Compartment E, James Sterling of Liverpool.
00:09:04Former occupation, soldier at Dunkirk.
00:09:07Present occupation, school teacher.
00:09:09Lieutenant Maxime Kirishilov.
00:09:12Birthplace, Moscow.
00:09:14Defender of Stalingrad.
00:09:15Now military aid, Russian occupation authorities.
00:09:18Compartment F, Henri Perot.
00:09:21Paris.
00:09:22Once a member of the French underground.
00:09:24Now a man of commerce.
00:09:26Compartment G, Hans Schmidt.
00:09:28Birthplace, Munich.
00:09:29Occupation.
00:09:30Munich.
00:09:31Occupation.
00:10:00We're glad to have you with us, sir.
00:10:10Please give me a fire.
00:10:17Thank you, sir.
00:10:30Twenty-one forty-five is nine forty-five pm.
00:10:439.45 is 9.45 p.m.
00:10:57The only thing missing from the pattern was Solzbach.
00:11:10I'm sorry, old man. This is taken.
00:11:13You know, it's occupied.
00:11:18Possession is nine tenths of a law.
00:11:22Now, wait a minute.
00:11:24Never let it be said that an Englishman isn't fair.
00:11:27At least on occasions.
00:11:30Heads is mine, tails yours. Right?
00:11:37Heads. Mine.
00:11:43Upstairs.
00:11:46Count said that I'm sorry.
00:11:48Out you go.
00:11:51Present dreams.
00:11:53I hope you're done small.
00:11:55Ticket and papers, please.
00:11:58Stirling.
00:12:00Lieutenant Karachilov.
00:12:02Compartment E.
00:12:05Sorry, Lieutenant. You can't take that in the train.
00:12:08You'll get it back tomorrow morning.
00:12:09Captain, would it be possible to get a sandwich in the diner?
00:12:12Lindley, compartment A.
00:12:13I just barely made the train.
00:12:14Sorry, the diner's closed. The mess sergeant will call you for breakfast.
00:12:17My name is Lindley.
00:12:28Studying.
00:12:30I had a kid brother that fought close to a British outfit in Italy.
00:12:36The turning point of the war.
00:12:38Is that how American history will record it?
00:12:40What do you mean?
00:12:42Well, the actual turning point of the war was El Alamein.
00:12:46Oh, you're quoting English history now.
00:12:47Yes.
00:12:57I wonder how they'll handle it.
00:12:59Truthfully, I hope.
00:13:01Otherwise, I'm wasting my valuable time.
00:13:04I'm in re-education.
00:13:06It seems pretty hopeless sometimes.
00:13:08And what is more important than giving them the light to see?
00:13:11Giving them something to eat.
00:13:13Your field?
00:13:14I do sleight of hand.
00:13:16I'm supposed to make 1500 calories look like an eight-course meal.
00:13:20And prevent things like plague and starvation.
00:13:32Excuse me, but do either of you happen to know who that Russian girl is?
00:13:36German, you mean?
00:13:37She speaks it with an accent like a Paris label.
00:13:39Ah, French. I thought so.
00:13:40What chance has a European got with an American around?
00:13:44I'm afraid you overestimate us.
00:13:46Not at all.
00:13:47How can we compete with your American charm?
00:13:49Your chocolates?
00:13:50Your soup?
00:13:51Your cigarettes?
00:13:53Well, it's more blessed to give than to receive.
00:13:57I thought the diner was closed.
00:13:58It is, unless you happen to be someone quite important.
00:14:01What's so important about a German?
00:14:04What makes you think he is a German?
00:14:06Isn't it for yourself? Bodyguard holding the train?
00:14:09That's always the sign of an American.
00:14:11You're both wrong.
00:14:12Our wage is one of Ivan's lads.
00:14:14Only a Russian would be so distrustful as to arrive with a small platoon.
00:14:17And only a British would object.
00:14:20Oh, you speak English?
00:14:22Comes and goes to Irish.
00:14:27Good night.
00:14:28Good night.
00:14:36Good night.
00:14:37You'll take every precaution.
00:14:46Yes, sir.
00:15:06there he was his first german you can't knock it out of your head you know you've licked him
00:15:13licked him in two wars and you're still not so sure you've got the upper hand
00:15:18you could be wrong though maybe he is a right guy then you find yourself rolling over the
00:15:23former enemy border and back comes the doubt you're in his territory now the trees look the
00:15:31same the sky is the same the air doesn't smell any different
00:15:48all at once the vestibule was chilly and his own compartment suddenly seemed inviting and warm
00:16:01so

00:16:13compartment i'm just going to hope i'm sorry sir but this is no longer your compartment who said so

00:16:30cement relations between france and america very nicely the women of france are indeed grateful
00:16:35sir at least half of your late army offered the same touching proposition what happened to the other

00:17:03you've been transferred down here with me with you yes i know i feel the same way about it but there it is
00:17:10these moves must be associated with the gentleman who had the bodyguards this compartment must change
00:17:15only a moment ago what's wrong with my taking this i'll get your things that isn't available mr lindley
00:17:21well it's empty i know we're keeping it that way

00:18:32Let's go.
00:18:51Would you pardon me, please?
00:18:52I think you'll be okay now, Dr. Bernhardt.
00:18:54Excuse me, sir.
00:18:56I don't mean to be personal, but you seem to carry a little weight around here.
00:18:59Who do you have to know to get something to eat?
00:19:01I have some food.
00:19:02I haven't touched something.
00:19:03No, no, thanks.
00:19:04I didn't mean...
00:19:05But why not?
00:19:06I would be honored if all of you would join me.
00:19:08No.
00:19:09And you?
00:19:10No, thank you.
00:19:11Come.
00:19:12It would give us all a chance to know one another better.
00:19:14And for what good purpose, may I ask?
00:19:16For a little mutual understanding.
00:19:18I overheard you a short while ago outside of my compartment.
00:19:22I had the feeling you could use some.
00:19:24Excuse me.
00:19:25Are you Bernhardt?
00:19:26Dr. Heinrich Bernhardt?
00:19:27Mm-hmm.
00:19:28Then we'll take those sandwiches, sir.
00:19:30I'll bring them to you.
00:19:34Heinrich Bernhardt.
00:19:36Head of a fact-finding commission to Unified Germany, right?
00:19:39That's the man.
00:19:40If he can swing it.
00:20:00All right, everybody.
00:20:01Get back to your compartment and stay there until further notice.
00:20:03All right, everybody.
00:20:05Get back to your compartment and stay there until further notice.
00:20:07Can't sleep either, eh?
00:20:08No.
00:20:09No.
00:20:10What do you think happens next?
00:20:11Well, what happens next?
00:20:12What happens next?
00:20:13Well, whatever it is, it will delay us.
00:20:14Whatever it is, it will delay us.
00:20:19Of that you can be certain.
00:20:20Another peacemaker.
00:20:21The world's full of them these days.
00:20:22All fighting among themselves.
00:20:23This one was different, I think.
00:20:24I remember a few things about him.
00:20:25He'd been fighting for peace all his life.
00:20:29a fine tribute he received.
00:20:30A grenade.
00:20:31Lindley.
00:20:32They're off.
00:20:33They're off.
00:20:34It's a great way.
00:20:35If your movements are safe.
00:20:36I know it's a great way.
00:20:37Now, I'm going to talk about your arms.
00:20:38Well, I'm going to talk about your arms.
00:20:39With your arms.
00:20:40The Hosok.
00:20:41I'm going to talk about your arms.
00:20:42What does it happen to you?
00:20:43Oh, my apologies.
00:20:44Not yet.
00:20:45The way the hell came out.
00:20:46What do you think happens next?
00:20:49Well, whatever it is, it will delay us.
00:20:51Of that you can be certain.
00:20:52Another peacemaker.
00:20:53The world's full of them these days
00:20:54all fighting among themselves.
00:20:55This one was different, I think.
00:20:56I remember a few things about him.
00:20:58Lindley, turn off.
00:20:59Yep.
00:21:01When we reach the station, you go straight to the special bus.
00:21:04Special bus?
00:21:05Yes.
00:21:06All the passengers of this car are under technical arrest.
00:21:09You better start packing right away.
00:21:11You see the delay?
00:21:13It begins.
00:21:13We're pulling into Frankfurt now.
00:21:20Or rather, what's left of Frankfurt.
00:21:25The biggest ghost town you've ever seen.
00:21:28A community of hollow shells, chipped and battered by Allied bombings, according to a methodical plan.
00:21:36A plan that would cancel out the city as a tough enemy center and still retain some choice spots.
00:21:42Like the Hauptbahnhof, the railroad depot which would serve the occupation forces and the skilled experts in restoration and border who would enter this strange new world.
00:21:58Specialists in military affairs, clerical workers, statesmen, prosecutors, judges, educators, nutrition experts.
00:22:22Experts.
00:22:24As well as others you couldn't quite classify.
00:22:26This was a world of rubble, under strict military control, with a system of economy all its own.
00:22:35Here, there was no such thing as the dollar, the franc, or the pound.
00:22:41A person's bankroll is their specially printed occupation money.
00:22:45And their supply of cigarettes.
00:22:49Dr. Sargent.
00:22:49What do you want to do, create inflation?
00:22:51And in this headquarter city for the American occupation zone, there was no such thing as the casual sightseeing traveler, for no one was here without a purpose.
00:23:00There are other modern touches in this very ancient city, the architecture, for instance, new lines, new shapes, generally referred to as early 20th century modern warfare.
00:23:16So universal is the destruction that it blends into one continuous pattern.
00:23:20But there is more than the physical loss of bricks, stone, and steel.
00:23:26It is the loss of human dignity.
00:23:29Commerce is conducted from briefcases holding prized personal possessions to barter for the necessities of life.
00:23:37Everything from diamonds to diapers found their way to this inflationary market.
00:23:42The choice business offices are in the sun.
00:23:44And you must not forget the social world, a city filled with bulletin boards and their cards, seeking the whereabouts of lost friends, relatives, displaced persons.
00:23:59But these are features some don't notice when they have other things on their minds.
00:24:14Is anyone the remotest idea where they're taking us?
00:24:22Only the army, Mr. Sterling.
00:24:25You approach the entrance gate to the United States Army compound, undergo the rigorous, ever-vigilant inspection, and proceed to something you won't forget for a while.
00:24:38The I.G. Farben building.
00:24:41Monument to German ingenuity and might.
00:24:44Former administrative home of the gigantic Farben Industries, manufacturers of the tools of war.
00:24:53The boys and the Allied bombers also looked after this spot to see that it wasn't touched.
00:24:59Because here, where the munition makers performed their paperwork for the conquest of the world,
00:25:04here would be ideal officers for the enforcement of the peace.
00:25:08Here would be headquarters for USFET, United States Forces European Theater.
00:25:14Here, the American soldier is helping to form the history of the world today.
00:25:18To keep the peace in Germany,
00:25:22to make it possible for the people to resume their place in society,
00:25:25the army of occupation is on constant duty,
00:25:28and no city is more important than Frankfurt.
00:25:31The clearinghouse, nerve center, and main hub for the entire American zone.
00:25:37This was Congress,
00:25:39the White House,
00:25:40and the Department of Justice and the Department of Justice combined under one roof.
00:25:43Here, policy was made and executed.
00:25:47Work permits granted,
00:25:49travel orders rewritten,
00:25:50checked,
00:25:51and enemies of the government were called to account.
00:25:55And enemies of the government were called to account.
00:26:04Please be seated.
00:26:06Have a chair.
00:26:08Please have your papers of identification ready,
00:26:13your travel orders, passports, visas,
00:26:17and, if of German nationality, your registration cards.
00:26:20You'll all be called soon.
00:26:22Until then, you will not discuss the case.
00:26:25I wonder how long they'll hold us.
00:26:29Me, they will not hold very long.
00:26:32I am traveling under Soviet orders.
00:26:34I have them around when you explain that to the American army.
00:26:37Are those your orders?
00:26:38Oh, don't worry. He'll show you that one.
00:26:44I will hold it.
00:26:45The authentic signature of Hitler.
00:26:47Name dropper?
00:26:49A rare document and only for ten packages of cigarettes.
00:26:52Because he does not have it, he pretends not to be impressed.
00:26:55It is a national characteristic.
00:26:57All this questioning.
00:26:58Ten thousand kilometers of red tape.
00:27:00Without offense, Lindley,
00:27:01the Americans could learn a few things from the French zone.
00:27:03That territory is in a class by itself.
00:27:05I know, I've seen them all.
00:27:07Including the Soviet?
00:27:08Including the Soviet.
00:27:10Ah, then you have seen how a zone should be managed.
00:27:13You had a permit, of course.
00:27:15No, I sneaked in as a British spy.
00:27:18You were lucky you were not shot.
00:27:20I will tell you there is none of this pampering policy in our zone.
00:27:23Since Stalingrad, we know how to handle these Germans.
00:27:29You please.
00:27:31I think he means you.
00:27:32No, Mr. Lindley, you're wanted.
00:27:42This is the one, sir.
00:27:45This is the one what?
00:27:46Your papers, please.
00:27:50Which one is yours, Mr. Lindley?
00:27:51The second one.
00:27:52Where were you when the train was stopped at Solsback for the horse and cart?
00:28:00At one of the windows, I think.
00:28:03Yeah, looking out.
00:28:04What did you see?
00:28:04The horse and cart.
00:28:06Anything else?
00:28:07Any people, activity?
00:28:09In the vicinity of your car, I mean.
00:28:10No, it was too dark.
00:28:11You couldn't see anything.
00:28:12Except the horse and cart.
00:28:13A quarter of a mile away.
00:28:15You understand, Mr. Lindley, that after Dr. Bernhardt was transferred from the car, you entered his vacant compartment.
00:28:21Entered it?
00:28:22No, I didn't.
00:28:23I thought you went in, Mr. Lindley.
00:28:25Well, I started to, but you stopped me.
00:28:27See anything unusual?
00:28:28Odd-sized package?
00:28:29Anything of that sort?
00:28:30Nothing.
00:28:31Nothing except some sandwiches, and I...
00:28:34In other words, you did go in.
00:28:36Well, how do I know?
00:28:37One step, maybe.
00:28:38Somebody's all mixed up here.
00:28:39I work for the same government you do.
00:28:40I'm an American citizen.
00:28:41Any contact with German nationals?
00:28:42Look.
00:28:43I've never even been out of the United States before.
00:28:44I just left there.
00:28:45So did Dr. Bernhardt.
00:28:46Not much to work with, sir, but we have it pretty well identified.
00:28:47Grenade.
00:28:48German make.
00:28:49Rigged for use as a time bomb.
00:28:50Amateur.
00:28:51But effective.
00:28:52Where were we, Mr. Lindley?
00:28:53Well, you did go in.
00:28:54You did go in.
00:28:55Well, how do I know?
00:28:56One step, maybe.
00:28:57Somebody's all mixed up here.
00:28:58I work for the same government you do.
00:28:59I'm an American citizen.
00:29:00Any contact with German nationals?
00:29:01Look.
00:29:02Thiam bomb.
00:29:03Amateur.
00:29:04But effective.
00:29:05Where were we, Mr. Lindley?
00:29:07We were putting me in the amateur bomb building business, I think.
00:29:10Found this, sir.
00:29:12Some kind of formula.
00:29:14Chloride, isn't it?
00:29:15Yeah, thiamine chloride.
00:29:17That's a very powerful explosive known as vitamin B1.
00:29:20Those are nutrition charts.
00:29:22The papers are all in order, sir.
00:29:28Thank you, Mr. Lindley.
00:29:29We'll have a girl next.
00:29:36Will you come in, please?
00:29:38You, miss.
00:29:46What was it like in there?
00:29:47A few questions.
00:29:48Oh, you must have learned something.
00:29:49A little.
00:29:51Somebody went to a lot of trouble to murder a pretty important man.
00:29:54I do not understand these maneuvers.
00:29:56All of this for a German.
00:29:57I'm sure that Dr. Henry Bernhardt was a type of German you never knew.
00:30:00You know one, you know another.
00:30:02You mentioned your Stalingrad, Lieutenant.
00:30:04This Bernhardt, this German, was fighting for that city before you even went to war.
00:30:08You tell me something.
00:30:09Where was he conducting this warfare?
00:30:11Here, in Germany, with every kind of resistance he could summon.
00:30:13On the surface and underground.
00:30:15Even if I understood this, I would not believe it.
00:30:21He was a countryman of yours.
00:30:23What was your opinion of Dr. Bernhardt?
00:30:25Gentlemen, everything here is fine.
00:30:28The occupation is very good.
00:30:30I do not have any opinion.
00:30:32Nor do you, I suppose.
00:30:34An opinion of this Bernhardt?
00:30:35Yes, I haven't.
00:30:36We would all like to hear it.
00:30:38He was a fool.
00:30:39His knowledge of the people he was dealing with left a great deal to be desired.
00:30:41Cigarette?
00:30:42No, thanks.
00:30:43No, thank you.
00:30:44Oh, had one.
00:30:45My doctor reduced me to ten a day, but luckily neglected to specify the size.
00:31:01Your doctor evidently had no understanding of the sort of fellow he was dealing with.
00:31:04Exactly.
00:31:05You have a very good point.
00:31:07Such people are always at the mercy of the very ones they seek to help.
00:31:10Now, this Bernhardt, for instance, champion of friendship, of confidence,
00:31:14trust among all.
00:31:16Otto Franzen.
00:31:17But how mistaken he was.
00:31:18Let's take the four of you here.
00:31:20Is it possible there can ever be such confidence, such friendship and trust among you?
00:31:24Otto Franzen.
00:31:28He is the best reason why one should like that Bernhardt.
00:31:33It's a pleasure and an honor, Dr. Bernhardt.
00:31:37Oh, I'm sorry I did not respond when you called Otto Franzen.
00:31:41I do not think I am so good with the cloak and dagger.
00:31:44I disagree, sir.
00:31:46Your secretary is sure that no one suspects.
00:31:49It's worked out very well.
00:31:50And tragically.
00:31:51Try to remember it wasn't your plan.
00:31:53That deception.
00:31:54It was the agent's.
00:31:55But the cost.
00:31:56His life.
00:31:57Suppose it had been yours.
00:31:58Then who would have met with the allies in Berlin?
00:32:00You think I am so irreplaceable?
00:32:02I'm pretty sure you don't think so, judging from what I've heard.
00:32:05What have you been telling these men?
00:32:08Only the truth.
00:32:09That you like people.
00:32:10That you would talk to anybody if I didn't watch you like a hawk.
00:32:12Now, that is not so.
00:32:15Not once have I so much as uttered a...
00:32:19Well, a few words out there.
00:32:22What is that?
00:32:24No more probably than a few lines.
00:32:28My letter to Johann, how did you get this?
00:32:30Intercepted him.
00:32:31Remember we said no letters?
00:32:34Well, I...
00:32:35I was going to visit Johann here today.
00:32:37I haven't seen him since before the war.
00:32:39Doctor, don't you understand?
00:32:41You cannot see anybody who might be able to recognize you.
00:32:44Not for a while, anyway.
00:32:45Professor Walter believes as I do.
00:32:47He would give nothing away.
00:32:49And besides, the danger is over.
00:32:51They believe that they have their men.
00:32:53Yes, and I've got to keep on believing it.
00:32:55The danger is by no means over.
00:32:57Hasn't that affair on the train taught you what we are doing?
00:32:59An underground which is determined to stop at nothing.
00:33:03That's why we ought to hold up your trip for a few days.
00:33:07It's until we feel it's safe.
00:33:09Hold up my trip?
00:33:10You understand the reasons yourself, Doctor.
00:33:12I have heard only reasons why I must be on the train tonight.
00:33:15A day, two days, what is that?
00:33:17Delay.
00:33:18But only until we get a line on the ones who are trying...
00:33:20Both of you, let me explain something.
00:33:22Out there in that office now are four men of different nationalities
00:33:26who are wholly incapable of uniting except perhaps on one issue.
00:33:30The great distaste for Otto Franz.
00:33:33And I assure you the enemy is very proud of those men.
00:33:36And each day that they or their nations remain apart,
00:33:39so much more freedom has the enemy.
00:33:41So much more they can grow.
00:33:43Delay? We cannot afford it.
00:33:45Do you realize that the representatives of the Allied powers are waiting for my report?
00:33:50I must be there.
00:33:52I will not hold up my trip.
00:33:54I didn't think you would.
00:33:56Well, I tried.
00:33:58Will you wait in here, please?
00:33:59Oh, but Colonel.
00:34:01As Lucien her seraph pointed out, there is a danger.
00:34:04And it would be very foolish for her to come along.
00:34:06The Colonel has put you in my charge.
00:34:09Haven't you, Colonel?
00:34:11Yes, sir.
00:34:13Bring in the next man.
00:34:18Mr. Sterling, please.
00:34:20But of the passengers,
00:34:22eyewitnesses to a murder,
00:34:24none could offer any help.
00:34:26Lieutenant Karaslav.
00:34:41Here you are, Sterling.
00:34:42Oh, thank you very much.
00:34:43Thank you very much.
00:34:44Is it yours?
00:34:55Like a comma?
00:34:5620 cartons of cigarettes?
00:35:01A wonderful piece of mice.
00:35:02You can't even see the chip.
00:35:04There may be a very small box.
00:35:06I can do it.
00:35:07I can do it.
00:35:08I can do it.
00:35:09I can do it.
00:35:10I can do it.
00:35:11I can do it.
00:35:12I can do it.
00:35:13I can do it.
00:35:14I can do it.
00:35:15I can do it.
00:35:24You know, there is something very curious.
00:35:26Yes?
00:35:27What happened to our little friend with no opinions?
00:35:29You mean Schmidt?
00:35:30No.
00:35:31This was probably his destination.
00:35:32Terrible loss, eh?
00:35:37I can do it.
00:35:54Hey, Ivan.
00:35:57Tavaric.
00:35:59Hey, look, Colonel.
00:36:00I don't know if you're interested in souvenirs or not.
00:36:02Souvenirs?
00:36:03Yes.
00:36:04Hold your breath.
00:36:06The authentic signature of Hitler.
00:36:08And for just two packs of cigarettes, Ivan.
00:36:10There's none another like it in Europe.
00:36:14Obviously a forgery.
00:36:15Yes.
00:36:16But which one?
00:36:28Excuse me, sir.
00:36:29Could I show you something of value?
00:36:31No.
00:36:32But in the old days.
00:36:33Heinrich.
00:36:34In the old days you admired it so much.
00:36:36You must be mistaken.
00:36:37Do you remember?
00:36:38The tower at Heidelberg.
00:36:39That Hilner gave to me.
00:36:40Johan Walser.
00:36:41How long it has been.
00:36:42I wrote to you, you know.
00:36:43But you...
00:36:44What's the matter, my friend?
00:36:45I cannot stay.
00:36:46I mustn't.
00:36:47Johan.
00:36:48Johan.
00:36:49Something's frightening you.
00:36:50What is it?
00:36:51What is it?
00:36:52I can't stay.
00:36:53I must not.
00:36:54Johan.
00:36:55Something's frightening you.
00:36:56What is it?
00:36:57I haven't been well lately.
00:36:58Oh, nonsense.
00:36:59Here.
00:37:00We just have time for a cigarette together.
00:37:01Just for old time's sake.
00:37:02What is it?
00:37:03I haven't been well lately.
00:37:04Oh, nonsense.
00:37:05Here.
00:37:06We just have time for a cigarette together.
00:37:07Just for old time's sake.
00:37:08Thank you, Hainui.
00:37:09Thank you, Hainui.
00:37:10Thank you, Hainui.
00:37:11Thank you, Hainui.
00:37:12What is it?
00:37:13What is it?
00:37:14What is it?
00:37:15Something's frightening you.
00:37:16Something's frightening you.
00:37:17What is it?
00:37:18I haven't been well lately.
00:37:19Oh, nonsense.
00:37:20Here.
00:37:21We just have time for a cigarette together.
00:37:23Just for old time's sake.
00:37:25Thank you, Hainui.
00:37:30Thank you, Hanoi.
00:37:46All right, Miss. Everything is in order.
00:37:50What's the matter here?
00:38:00Thank you, Mr. Chubb. She fainted.
00:38:02Any orders, maybe?
00:38:11Major, Il Nepalao is gone.
00:38:14Arrest these people, every one of them.
00:38:16Yes, sir.
00:38:18He was right here only a moment ago.
00:38:20Yes, I know. I saw him.
00:38:22Wait here. I'll notify Colonel John.
00:38:24The rest of you cover this whole area for Bernhardt.
00:38:28Bernhardt?
00:38:30Yes, the man who was killed on the train.
00:38:32He was only posing as Dr. Bernhardt.
00:38:34That's all for the band here.
00:38:36Well, let's give him a hand.
00:38:38I'm afraid there isn't time.
00:38:40You don't understand. He is not lost. He has been kidnapped.
00:38:42I know this. I'm his secretary.
00:38:44Please, you have talked with him.
00:38:46I know his voice, his face. You can help.
00:38:48There is the army.
00:38:50Yes, in their American uniforms.
00:38:52Advertising themselves to these Germans.
00:38:54Don't you see? You are different.
00:38:56They would not be on guard against you.
00:38:58Well, even if we wished, we can't miss the train.
00:39:00We have our travel orders, you know.
00:39:02So you were the ones who believed in Bernhardt.
00:39:04In all the things he stood for.
00:39:06I do not think he included me.
00:39:08No, please. Wait.
00:39:12Wait? When my orders say I must be somewhere, that is where I am.
00:39:16I have my country to serve.
00:39:18You only think you are serving your country.
00:39:20By doing this, you are working for the underground.
00:39:22Don't you see? They want you to do this.
00:39:24They want you to go back to your different zones and fight among yourselves.
00:39:28I am sorry.
00:39:34We shall see what we can do.
00:39:38Thank you, Bruce.
00:39:50You speak of your travel orders.
00:39:52These are military orders commending me to duty by tomorrow noon.
00:39:54Other countries, you would disregard such orders.
00:39:56But not the Soviets.
00:39:58She is right. This is something which concerns us all.
00:40:00If not the Soviets.
00:40:08Wait.
00:40:10Anything of concern to the rest of you is of special concern to the Soviets.
00:40:24An immediate dragnet was ordered.
00:40:31The whole city of Frankfurt was to be covered.
00:40:40A search that would comb black markets, the civilian masses, for some lead to the underground, to find one missing man in the midst of strangers and enemies that were always present, but unseen.
00:40:54It is a failure.
00:41:04So this is a failure, no?
00:41:06Admit it. It is a failure.
00:41:07Oh, shut up.
00:41:08No, he is right.
00:41:09You are the same in all your dealings.
00:41:10You cannot face the reality.
00:41:12This is Bernhard.
00:41:13He is gone.
00:41:14That is the truth of the matter.
00:41:16And tomorrow, Lieutenant Maxim Kiroslav will be gone.
00:41:19I will be lucky to emerge a private, a live private.
00:41:22It is my fault.
00:41:23And all for nothing.
00:41:24Where is there to go?
00:41:26Who is there to question?
00:41:27And how could we question them?
00:41:29You are the only one among us who speaks German.
00:41:31None of us knows this city.
00:41:32Well, I used to know it.
00:41:33But they had streets then.
00:41:35There.
00:41:36There should be the card for the latest displaced person.
00:41:39Dr. Heinrich Bernhardt.
00:41:41Lost to the world while en route to Berlin, to begin forming a united Germany.
00:41:47Information as to whereabouts of Karl and Paula Doffman.
00:41:55Hilda Walter, age 63, beloved wife of Johann.
00:42:02Johann Walter.
00:42:04Any information, please notify Professor Johann Walter.
00:42:09Bismarck Strauss 10.
00:42:11I think I know that.
00:42:12This man.
00:42:13I met him with Dr. Bernhardt.
00:42:14He will help.
00:42:15I know he will.
00:42:16But how, Lucien?
00:42:17How will he help?
00:42:18I don't know.
00:42:19Frankfurt is his home.
00:42:20He knows the people.
00:42:21Perhaps he even knows something of the underground.
00:42:22Others won't get there.
00:42:23It's definitely in that direction.
00:42:25I'm not sure how far it is.
00:42:27But I'm certain it's in that vicinity.
00:42:32I'm not sure how to get to the distance.
00:42:37Turn up the door.
00:42:38Get up the door.
00:42:48Children of the last graduation class.
00:42:50I have said before.
00:42:51Here are only German.
00:42:52We have no time to learn English.
00:42:53Hold your mouth!
00:42:55Don't worry, don't worry. It's totally equal to you, whether you understand it or not.
00:42:59The others have to be here every moment.
00:43:25Johann.
00:43:27Known them?
00:43:29Yes, I've known them.
00:43:33Let me see.
00:43:35Ever since...
00:43:37Ever since Hilda went away.
00:43:39She went away?
00:43:41Yes, she.
00:43:43They took her away.
00:43:45It was months ago.
00:43:47But she's coming back now.
00:43:49Very soon.
00:43:51And then you will see her too.
00:43:54Henry.
00:43:56It's been a long time, no?
00:44:00Very long.
00:44:02Yes.
00:44:04These people, I...
00:44:06I agree to arrange it.
00:44:08Only today it has been decided.
00:44:10They promise...
00:44:12that they will tell me...
00:44:14where she is...
00:44:16if...
00:44:18if...
00:44:20I would...
00:44:22if I...
00:44:23would meet you at the railroad stage.
00:44:25And...
00:44:27and...
00:44:29deliver you over to them.
00:44:31I'm very glad.
00:44:33It will be good for you to have her back.
00:44:35Don't...
00:44:37speak to me with such kindness.
00:44:39Henry.
00:44:41Don't...
00:44:43speak to me with such kindness.
00:44:45Henry.
00:44:47Henry.
00:44:49Don't...
00:44:51Don't...
00:44:53speak to me with such kindness.
00:44:55Henry.
00:44:57Don't...
00:44:59Don't...
00:45:01speak to me with such kindness.
00:45:03You're welcome.
00:45:05You're welcome.
00:45:07You're welcome.
00:45:09You're welcome.
00:45:10You're welcome.
00:45:11You're welcome.
00:45:14You're welcome, doctor.
00:45:23No!
00:45:25You cannot go.
00:45:26You cannot go, you stupid.
00:45:27They're waiting for us.
00:45:28But our arrangement, my wife...
00:45:30You promised...
00:45:31Yes, yes, yes, her address.
00:45:33I've got it right here.
00:45:35Dohlbeck.
00:45:41That's a...
00:45:42cemetery.
00:45:46This is a cemetery.
00:45:54That's number ten.
00:46:05must be someone here.
00:46:14Light.
00:46:25Professor Walter.
00:46:35Come.
00:46:36Let me take you back to the colonel.
00:46:37Lucienne.
00:46:38There must be another way.
00:46:39Like...
00:46:40Triangle.
00:46:41Yes.
00:46:42Yes.
00:46:43Yes.
00:46:44Yes.
00:46:45Yes.
00:46:46Yes.
00:46:47Yes.
00:46:48Yes.
00:46:49Yes.
00:46:50Yes.
00:46:51Yes.
00:46:52Yes.
00:46:53Yes.
00:46:54Yes.
00:46:55Yes.
00:46:56Yes.
00:46:57Yes.
00:46:58Yes.
00:46:59Yes.
00:47:00Yes.
00:47:01Yes.
00:47:02Yes.
00:47:03Yes.
00:47:04Yes.
00:47:05Yes.
00:47:06Yes.
00:47:07Oh, we're down all the places in Frankfurt...
00:47:09to become to the right one.
00:47:14Wait a minute.
00:47:15Sterling, you know little about this town.
00:47:17Where are some of the restaurants still?
00:47:19Black market joints?
00:47:20Possibly the gangster hideout.
00:47:22There will find the Germans who hated Bergmay.
00:47:25Mr Lindley.
00:47:26Okay.
00:47:27Forget it.
00:47:28But...
00:47:29But there are such places here?
00:47:31Yes.
00:47:32Two cabarets, but you won't find the German in either of them.
00:47:35They're restricted to the American army.
00:47:37They're the legal ones.
00:47:39What about the ones off-limit?
00:47:40Off-limit?
00:47:41Yes, the illegal ones.
00:47:42Operated for German civilians.
00:47:44He may have something.
00:47:45There's a chance, anyway.
00:47:46Who and what would we look for?
00:47:48For a Frenchman, he shows a certain intelligence.
00:47:50I vote against it.
00:47:51Libido again.
00:47:53Perhaps if we split up.
00:47:55It appears we're split up already.
00:47:57Lucienne, maybe I should have told you before.
00:48:00I'm a sucker for slumming.
00:48:02Care to see some night lights?
00:48:05Excuse me, we have a lot of ground to cover.
00:48:08We will look ourselves, but thoroughly.
00:48:35I'm a sucker for slumming.
00:48:52Let's go.
00:48:53Fourth, please.
00:48:57Okay.
00:48:59We can't leave a half kind of all men in the house, just some of our mouths out of the young men.
00:49:16What should it be? We have only beer and good snacks.
00:49:23I wonder if this was a good idea.
00:49:26It has been the same every place. We are the ones who are being looked over.
00:49:30That bother you? No.
00:49:32That's what I thought. And that's what's so annoying. You make a much better detective than I do.
00:49:36And a lot better looking.
00:49:39Have you forgotten why we are here?
00:49:41No, I'm here to do what I can to get somebody back.
00:49:45Somebody I think is important.
00:49:48Maybe I'm kidding myself. I don't know. Maybe I'm here because I know how much you want him back.
00:49:53Listen, you are a stranger in a strange country.
00:49:56And a reasonably attractive girl who speaks your own language makes you feel close to her.
00:50:02It is as simple as that.
00:50:04I didn't say you were attractive. I said you weren't bad looking.
00:50:07A lot of difference.
00:50:09Over there, for instance, that's attractive.
00:50:12Why?
00:50:16She has a lot of things in her favor.
00:50:19But just not enough.
00:50:22She has very much in her favor.
00:50:24The cigarette.
00:50:31Like Bernhardt's.
00:50:32I suppose you can thank her GI for that.
00:50:34I understand.
00:50:35He is smoking the regular size.
00:50:37The cigarette.
00:50:38The cigarette.
00:50:39The cigarette.
00:51:00And now, to the service of the gentlemen who want to buy cigarettes, please come here.
00:51:09I guarantee they have been smoked only a few times before.
00:51:13I'll make you aware of our cigarettes.
00:51:16Now, ladies and gentlemen, to the present, it's my honor to give you Maya.
00:51:20Maya, the Allwissende.
00:51:21Maya, the Mindreader.
00:51:29Maya, who read your thoughts and answers and answer questions.
00:51:59Who is coming first? Who wants to ask the first questions?
00:52:04You, soldier. Ask any questions. Maja Waits.
00:52:08Ah, here is the first. Please ask your question, Mr. Corporal.
00:52:12When are they going to let me go home?
00:52:15Now, Maja, listen to me. When is he going home?
00:52:19That's what we'd like to know.
00:52:22More questions. Maja Waits.
00:52:25Where is my wife?
00:52:30What do you think? She's at home with your best friend.
00:52:35More questions.
00:52:37Where have I lost my life insurance card?
00:52:41Have you looked at the black market?
00:52:45More questions. Maja Waits.
00:52:49Maja, what am I thinking about?
00:52:51I don't go out with strangers.
00:52:53Oh, yes. Where can I find a place to sleep?
00:52:56My house is a nice box.
00:53:00Maja Waits says...
00:53:01I have a question.
00:53:03Ah, another American.
00:53:05And you would also like to know when you'll go home?
00:53:09I would like to know, where is Heinrich Bernhardt?
00:53:13Bernhardt?
00:53:15Bernhardt, I do not know such a person.
00:53:23Come on, and...
00:53:25What is happening?
00:53:26What are you going on?
00:53:27What are you going on here?
00:53:28Can you not be alone?
00:53:30What's going on?
00:53:37What do you want?
00:53:39Can we not be alone?
00:53:53Sergeant, wait. You must help me. It is very important.
00:53:56Look, lady, we're not even supposed to be here, so if there's going to be any trouble, uh-uh.
00:53:59If you leave, Sergeant, there will be very much trouble for you.
00:54:02What do you mean?
00:54:03That girl who was with you, she helped kidnap a government official.
00:54:06Oh, you're crazy.
00:54:07I will let you tell that to Colonel John.
00:54:09Wait a minute. Let's figure this thing out.
00:54:12You guys better blow while you've got a chance.
00:54:15Now, lady, what's it all about?
00:54:18What do you want?
00:54:19Where did she go?
00:54:20Where did she go?
00:54:21I understand.
00:54:22What did you do with Bernhardt?
00:54:23Save it for the empty.
00:54:25But I didn't know she was mixed up in anything like this. I swear I didn't.
00:54:29You must know something about her, where she might have gone.
00:54:31Well, I know where she lives.
00:54:32That's enough.
00:54:33Come on.
00:54:34What's the matter with you?
00:54:35What's the matter with you?
00:54:36But, mister, an out-of-bounds joint and smooching with an underground babe, why did that throw the book at me?
00:54:46Not if you're smart. You suspected this girl from the start, didn't you?
00:54:49No, no, I...
00:54:50Yes, you did. You were going with her to get a line on her activities.
00:54:53Weren't you?
00:54:54I was?
00:54:55Yes. And now you're able to tell your superiors about an enemy and save the life of a very important man.
00:55:00Yeah. Yeah, you're right. Look, lady, maybe it'd be better if I talked to Colonel Johnson.
00:55:06Hans, maybe you don't see it so fast.
00:55:09Weren't you?
00:55:10What?
00:55:11Weren't you?
00:55:12Weren't you?
00:55:13Weren't you?
00:55:14Yes.
00:55:15Weren't you?
00:55:16I was?
00:55:17Yes.
00:55:18And now you're able to tell your superiors about an enemy and save the life of a very important man.
00:55:21Yeah.
00:55:22Yeah, you're right.
00:55:23Look, lady, maybe it'd be better if I talked to Colonel Johnson.
00:55:26Hans, maybe you don't see anything else.
00:55:27Weren't you?
00:55:28Weren't you?
00:55:31Weren't you?
00:55:32Weren't you?
00:55:33Weren't you?
00:55:34Weren't you?
00:55:35Yes sir. Yes sir, the place is a hotbed, Evelyn. Please tell him to report it to Colonel John's. Would you please see that Colonel John's gets the message? Right, sir.
00:55:52Well, that ought to put a damper in some of the local playboys. This way, her place isn't very far. If she's home, she'd better be. What a sucker I've been, that dirty two-timing little four-way.
00:56:05Let me get my bearings. It's somewhere around. She lives in a place like this? Yeah, in this town people live where they can. Not that I'm ever coming back.
00:56:27Let me get my bearings. It's somewhere around. She lives in a place like this? Yeah, in this town people live where they can.
00:56:33Not that I'm ever coming back, but where are we? It's part of the old city of Frankfurt. They call it the Reuma. What a massage job, this guy.
00:57:03I guess I should have warned you. You have to find anything in this old brewery. One guy even kept livestock. Brewery?
00:57:11Once one of the biggest. It's not like it was in the old days, when the fatherland was really in her glory.
00:57:17It's not like it was in the old days. It's not like it was in the old days.
00:57:27Doctor. Doctor, what have they done to you? I'm sorry, you had to find me, Lucien.
00:57:44Good job, Heinz. It was the oldest time.
00:57:49It's all right, because of the Americans. But I have to go.
00:57:53Miss Mirbeau, we have been urging you, Dr. Bernard, to discuss with us this plan of his for Germany.
00:58:02So they will know it in advance and work against it.
00:58:05You understand why we've been waiting for you.
00:58:08We are sure that since you were close with him, you can supply us the facts.
00:58:14We do not wish to harm Dr. Bernard, unless we have to. And if you would help...
00:58:21I understand. On the train you tried to kill him. Now you are people of great mercy.
00:58:26Mercy? It is simply a matter of logic. Now we are in a position to learn the facts.
00:58:32Now you are in a position to bargain.
00:58:35She told you the plan you turned Bernhardt to have said, right? Yes.
00:58:41After the conference in Berlin is over.
00:58:44After it's over.
00:58:46You understand we cannot permit him to attend this meeting.
00:58:50It's all right, Doctor. You can conduct another one.
00:58:54Another one? Means delay.
00:58:57Means delay. Yes. Yes, Doctor. Delay.
00:59:03It is not too good for your allies.
00:59:06But it's very good for us.
00:59:10You are being offered your life.
00:59:12What more do you want?
00:59:14It is up to you.
00:59:16Wait a minute. Don't answer that.
00:59:18Not till I tell him that this phony GI of his tipped off the army. We heard him.
00:59:23I sent him to the cabaret. That'll be the end of the line.
00:59:26Del Trace is here somehow. You know that.
00:59:28If you stop now, there's a chance to save your neck.
00:59:31My neck?
00:59:32What do you think?
00:59:34I should quibble with fear?
00:59:39What more can they do to me now?
00:59:42But do not feel sorry for us.
00:59:44I won't. I'll leave that to you.
00:59:46Because there's still one thing we have left.
00:59:48A determination to have the Germany we deserve.
00:59:52I think you've got that now.
00:59:56You do not know what you say.
00:59:58You are not a German.
01:00:00But I am.
01:00:01No.
01:00:02No, Dr. Bernard.
01:00:04You would be here.
01:00:05With the builders of Germany.
01:00:10The builders of Germany.
01:00:12The wreckers of peace and unity.
01:00:14Unity.
01:00:15I am only a brewmaster, Dr. Bernard.
01:00:20I am not a politician.
01:00:22But there are some things I know much better than you.
01:00:25I, too, believe in unity.
01:00:28But unlike you, I know that people will only unite when they are faced with a crisis.
01:00:34Like war.
01:00:35Well.
01:00:36We are still at war.
01:00:37You are not.
01:00:38So we are united.
01:00:39You are not.
01:00:40So we are united.
01:00:41You are not.
01:00:42So we will succeed.
01:00:44You will not.
01:00:45But someday, brewmaster, someday my people will at last understand that peace also is a crisis.
01:00:50And then they will unite against such enemies as you.
01:00:53And you will be gone forever.
01:00:54Perhaps, Dr. Bernard.
01:00:55But not yet.
01:00:56Not now.
01:00:57Now we are concerned with this plan of yours.
01:00:58For the various allied zones.
01:00:59I know that.
01:01:00If you don't want to deal with us, then we will hold your secretary.
01:01:02So, Mrs. Bernard.
01:01:03We have long waited.
01:01:04You know his ideas.
01:01:05Get out of it.
01:01:06Get out of it.
01:01:07Get out of it.
01:01:08Get out of it.
01:01:09Get out of it.
01:01:10Get out of it.
01:01:11Get out of it.
01:01:12Get out of it.
01:01:13Get out of it.
01:01:14Get out of it.
01:01:15Get out of it.
01:01:17Get out of it.
01:01:18Get out of it.
01:01:19Get out of it.
01:01:20Get out of it.
01:01:21Get out of it.
01:01:22Get out of it.
01:01:23Get out of it.
01:01:24But the Fräulein should be clear in which position they are going to be.
01:01:27If they don't answer, then I will give them someone to someone who will have other methods.
01:01:33So, Fräulein.
01:01:35You have long waited.
01:01:37You know his ideas.
01:01:39Get out of it.
01:01:40But I don't know the individual.
01:01:42They are lying.
01:01:43We know exactly that they are his partner.
01:01:46You are wasting your time.
01:01:47I told you that before.
01:01:48You are wasting your time.
01:01:49I told you that before.
01:01:50You are wasting your time.
01:01:51I told you that before.
01:01:53You are a fool.
01:01:54There is no step.
01:01:55There is no peace but our peace.
01:01:56You are a fool.
01:01:57There is no step.
01:01:58There is no peace but our peace.
01:02:00Friedrich.
01:02:01You are a fool.
01:02:02You are a fool.
01:02:03There is no step.
01:02:04There is no peace but our peace.
01:02:05Friedrich.
01:02:06You are a fool.
01:02:07There is no peace.
01:02:13You are a fool.
01:02:16There is no peace but our peace.
01:02:21Friedrich.
01:02:23You are a fool.
01:02:26You are a fool.
01:02:35Ludwig!
01:02:37Where is the other guy?
01:02:39The man has hit me!
01:02:41He's coming over!
01:02:43As a spy!
01:02:57Stop!
01:02:59Don't let him in!
01:03:05Don't let him in!
01:03:35Let him out!
01:03:45No!
01:03:49There he is!
01:03:51Come on.
01:04:21Thanks.
01:04:51I'm wondering if she is as important to you as your plan.
01:05:13Let's see.
01:05:17Come on.
01:05:25Come on.
01:05:29Come on.
01:05:37Come on.
01:05:41Come on.
01:05:43Come on.
01:05:45Come on.
01:05:47Come on.
01:05:49Come on.
01:05:51Come on.
01:05:59Come on.
01:06:01Come on.
01:06:03Come on.
01:06:05Come on.
01:06:17That's right, mister.
01:06:18Straight ahead.
01:06:19What?
01:06:20I'm Lieutenant Kiroshinov of Soviet Occupation Forces.
01:06:22Why is it you always think you're being accused of something?
01:06:25Inside.
01:06:27Just some routine questions, lieutenant.
01:06:30That phone call came from a G.I.
01:06:32I know he was here.
01:06:33But no, Major.
01:06:34There has not been one soldier here all evening.
01:06:36You can ask the customers.
01:06:37And I wonder what they'd say.
01:06:39Sir, I just brought in three new ones.
01:06:42Am I glad to see you.
01:06:43Are they with you?
01:06:44The girl and Lindley.
01:06:45No, we've been looking for them ourselves.
01:06:46What happened?
01:06:47How do you got me?
01:06:48We heard they found a league here.
01:06:50This character says that we're never in the place.
01:06:52What about you?
01:06:53Anything at all on Bernhardt?
01:06:54Nothing.
01:06:55We even checked on his friend Walter.
01:06:57We found him dead.
01:06:58A nice blank wall.
01:07:25That's the German from the train.
01:07:31Bernhardt.
01:07:34What?
01:07:36Bernhardt.
01:07:38Where is he?
01:07:40It's a rumor.
01:07:43A rumor.
01:07:44He's delirious.
01:07:45There's nothing there but trouble.
01:07:47Sellers.
01:07:50Sellers.
01:07:51Yes, Sellers.
01:07:52Go on.
01:07:53Who is it that...
01:07:55We can't trust this man.
01:08:11I think we'll have to.
01:08:13Schmidt was assigned to look after Bernhardt of the War Department.
01:08:22You know my terms, Dr. Bernhardt.
01:08:24And now you will talk to us.
01:08:26And you will talk quickly.
01:08:27If you are really interested in her safety.
01:08:29After I talk, you will let her go.
01:08:31How do I know you will keep your word?
01:08:33You don't.
01:08:34And that is where you are wrong.
01:08:36He does know that you will not keep your word.
01:08:39No more than he will keep his...
01:08:41Lucien.
01:08:42This game of pretending to bargain, trying to help me.
01:08:45It is useless.
01:08:46And undignified.
01:08:48Wasting your time talking to these fanatics.
01:08:51Who are not even fit to live.
01:08:53To say nothing of ruling a country.
01:08:55Feblich.
01:08:57There is a good place.
01:08:58There is a great place.
01:08:59Here is a good place.
01:09:01Do you want to go?
01:09:03Go ahead.
01:09:34The tragedy is for you.
01:09:40For me, there were only a few years left.
01:09:44Important years.
01:09:46Completion of your life's work.
01:09:49My work?
01:09:51At this moment, only the most foolish man could say it had been worthwhile.
01:09:57But I am that foolish man.
01:09:59Mach schluss!
01:10:04Sergeant June Smith.
01:10:24Yes, sir.
01:10:24Smith.
01:10:25Jenkins.
01:10:26Cover the ladder.
01:10:26Get out of here.
01:10:56They will not be expecting it from you, Bernhard first.
01:11:03Now, you fool. The army is everywhere.
01:11:05Then go, Quake.
01:11:06Go? Are you giving the orders now?
01:11:09What do you...
01:11:11I... I do not know about you.
01:11:15No more blunders. I must be sure of Bernhard this time.
01:11:18Also sure of myself.
01:11:21Waltzman.
01:11:22Ah, what courage I see.
01:11:25Wait, Waltzman. Let me tell you.
01:11:28You need me.
01:11:30I can be of great service to you.
01:11:32But never so much.
01:11:34It's now.
01:11:48Hey, somebody get me out of here!
01:11:50Linde!
01:11:52Linde!
01:11:55Sergeant, get her some help.
01:11:57Yes, sir.
01:11:58Some of the things I thought about you, I take back.
01:12:01Good work.
01:12:03I'll take that parole. You won't need it anymore.
01:12:25You're done.
01:12:28You're done, doctor.
01:12:29Anything else?
01:12:30No, thank you.
01:12:31No, I must go early tonight.
01:12:32Tomorrow I will probably be so.
01:12:34Perhaps I can persuade them to postpone it for a day or two.
01:12:35Thanks for the party, doctor Bernhard.
01:12:36Are you finished with the bread, doctor?
01:12:38Anything more?
01:12:39No, thanks.
01:12:40No, I must get to bed early tonight, for tomorrow I will probably be shot.
01:12:43Perhaps I can persuade them to postpone it for a day or two.
01:12:46Thanks for the party, Dr. Bernhardt.
01:12:48No, it is I who must thank you, all of you.
01:12:50Not only because you have helped save my life,
01:12:52but because you have helped save my mission.
01:12:55I can see now that it will work.
01:12:57Maxim, your compartment.
01:13:00Which one were you assigned?
01:13:01Six.
01:13:02It is on a communal basis, of course.
01:13:04I am sharing it with someone else.
01:13:06What an amazing luck.
01:13:08You are sharing it with a friend.
01:13:12I wish you a pleasant night, sir.
01:13:13Thank you. Good night.
01:13:27We match for the lower bank, no?
01:13:29Good.
01:13:30Heads me, tails you.
01:13:34Good night.
01:13:49You would care to make it two out of three?
01:13:51Very well.
01:13:57Good night.
01:13:58Good night.
01:14:07Sorry to bother you, but I thought I spotted it.
01:14:10You know the rule about carrying firearms in the American zone?
01:14:13Yes, but some of those Germans do not.
01:14:15Besides, we must consider the welfare of the doctor.
01:14:17That's exactly what I've been doing.
01:14:20What do you think of an extra guard?
01:14:23Are you sure that it's necessary?
01:14:25Well, I don't mean to cut out the reserves,
01:14:27just one of us inside with him.
01:14:28Well, what about it?
01:14:29I'm sorry I did not think of it myself.
01:14:31But since I didn't, I'm more than willing to say.
01:14:34Oh, no, but that is not fair.
01:14:36We should all take turns.
01:14:38Then you must permit me to be first, please.
01:14:40It's only fitting I've done less for him than either of you.
01:14:46Parrault.
01:14:47Yes, we'll relieve you in an hour, okay?
01:14:49If you wish.
01:14:51You wish to come in?
01:14:53Only I, sir.
01:14:53We thought it would be wiser if one of us stayed with you.
01:14:56I'm the first one.
01:14:57But if you think it's necessary, of course.
01:15:01I wish I could take the compartment back.
01:15:04Come in later, please.
01:15:07He spoke German to that steward.
01:15:09What?
01:15:10Parrault.
01:15:11Remember, he said you were the only one who spoke German,
01:15:13but he just did.
01:15:14Oh, sir, you know he's a friend or two.
01:15:15I will teach you a dozen.
01:15:16What about you, Sterling?
01:15:18You want the next watch?
01:15:19Why did he make such a pitch to get in with Bernhardt?
01:15:22Parrault of all of us.
01:15:23Well, they probably thought he hadn't done enough to help him, I suppose.
01:15:25He's crazy, that one.
01:15:27He was with us from the very start.
01:15:36Oh, it doesn't matter.
01:15:37In fact, I prefer it that way.
01:15:39Keeps on from feeling so shut away from the world.
01:15:42Cigarette?
01:15:42No, thank you.
01:15:51Maxim, will you follow Sterling?
01:15:53That's right.
01:15:54He was with us from the very start, touting us off every move we made.
01:15:58He lied about not speaking German.
01:15:59He lied about not knowing Frankfurt, don't you remember?
01:16:01Then he turned around and told us about all the night spots in town.
01:16:04Yes, he also knew the rumor was the Sambos.
01:16:06Well, there you are.
01:16:08Yes, but I had heard that myself.
01:16:10Wait a minute, wait.
01:16:10There's something else.
01:16:11There's something on the train that's been bothering me since yesterday.
01:16:14Well, we've been considerably bothered for the last two days.
01:16:17A bomb.
01:16:18Perot called it a grenade.
01:16:20Because that is what it was.
01:16:21Well, how did he know?
01:16:22Who could have identified a bomb they never saw as a made-over hand grenade?
01:16:25He did.
01:16:26Before the army or anyone else.
01:16:28Maybe we're all just tired.
01:16:30This one certainly is the last watch for you, young man.
01:16:33You better get some sleep right away.
01:16:35Sterling, listen a minute.
01:16:36Don't worry, old boy.
01:16:37You'll be as right as rain in the morning.
01:16:41I'm sorry about that, Lucienne.
01:16:53I guess I'd better stick to counting calories.
01:16:59You have become a citizen of Europe in two days.
01:17:03Perhaps it was a little fast.
01:17:05Because we are more used to the sensation, it is easier for us to control it.
01:17:14Sensation?
01:17:15Of fear, insecurity, suspicion of everyone, everything.
01:17:22Maybe I'll grow up to you someday.
01:17:25I'd like to.
01:17:30Good night.
01:17:30Good night, Linda.
01:17:32Good night.
01:17:54Stop that man. He tried to kill Bernhardt.
01:18:02Stop it!
01:18:16Stop it!
01:18:32Berlin. Well, not quite.
01:18:50Wannsee is as close as you can bring the Berlin Express today.
01:18:54Is this guy a Frenchman? No, his name is Holton. Genuine product. Made in Germany.
01:19:15The city itself is some fifteen miles off by way of the Autobahn.
01:19:19And when you get there, you wonder how you can call it a city.
01:19:24Berlin, the capital of the Third Reich, the focal point of the rise and fall of a dictator, is today a monument of ruins.
01:19:33Other cities like Hiroshima have been obliterated, but no other city so mighty as Berlin has fallen so low.
01:19:42Less than four years of wind, rain and sun has left a drab, colorless, dead city in its wake.
01:19:49This was one case where justice had made the punishment fit the crime.
01:19:55Berlin, the capital of a world that was supposed to revolve around a building called the Reich Chancellery.
01:20:02Around a leader who stood on a balcony and explained how it would last for a thousand years.
01:20:07I say we are going to see each other again, aren't we?
01:20:13We'd better. You happen to be the only guys I know around here.
01:20:16I'll introduce you to so many people you will not have a cigarette left.
01:20:20Now, what is the way to reach you?
01:20:22Oh, very simple. Just keep in touch with the French.
01:20:24Here was all that was left of one of Europe's most beautiful thoroughfares, Unter den Linden, with the Brandenburg Gate at its foot.
01:20:34A spot shattered by the celebrated Hotel Adlon, operations suspended right now, close at hand to the Reichstag,
01:20:44redecorated as a monument to the Reich, within sight of the towering trees of the Tiergarten that had all been borrowed for firewood.
01:20:53Here was where the friends who had all had a hand in changing the scenery were to take leave of each other.
01:21:10Hello there! British!
01:21:16I thought you might be heading for the base.
01:21:18Going right past. How are things at home?
01:21:20Oh, the same old corpse, not floating.
01:21:23I'll be with you in a jiffy, Major.
01:21:24I just want to say goodbye to the old boy.
01:21:27Don't suppose you're going over to the military government office?
01:21:30Sure, one left.
01:21:31Thanks a lot.
01:21:32Don't mention it.
01:21:33We guys from the States gotta stick together over here, you'll find that out soon enough.
01:21:40Hey, Corporal, wait for one minute.
01:21:42Hold on for one minute.
01:21:43Hold on for one minute.
01:21:44You'll find a sharp hand in your eyes.
01:21:45You'll find a sharp hand.
01:21:46It's quite alright, sir, I can explain exactly...
01:21:47Thank you. I do not need a defence.
01:21:48Anything wrong, sir?
01:21:49Mr. Senat, how do you keep the police's car?
01:21:55The police?
01:21:56When you talk to the government.
01:21:59Your letter.
01:22:19If you want to involve themselves, Dr. Bernhardt would not be here now.
01:22:22He's the official guest of all your governments.
01:22:24Really?
01:22:25Naturally, you are cleared by British intelligence.
01:22:27No, he's only been cleared by the American State Department.
01:22:29Would that satisfy British intelligence?
01:22:31Well, after all, there are two separate commands.
01:22:34Well, that's one blessing anyway.
01:22:37Good luck to you, sir.
01:22:40Oh, Max.
01:22:42I don't think any of us got off to a good start, but...
01:22:45I give you my word, I tried to catch up.
01:22:48I really tried to figure out what makes you tick, Max.
01:22:51What makes all of you tick.
01:22:54We try to understand you.
01:22:56Why don't you try to understand us?
01:23:00Anyway, you said you wanted my address, and here it is.
01:23:02You can reach me there anytime.
01:23:18I think your address is a little better.
01:23:21Where will you be, Lucienne?
01:23:24Nowhere for very long.
01:23:26Don't you see?
01:23:28There is nothing one can count on.
01:23:30No one's address is dependable.
01:23:32But if ever the world comes of ash,
01:23:36I will see that you know where to find me.
01:23:39Ready, mister?
01:23:41Ready, mister?
01:23:43Ready, mister?
01:24:13Sometimes I think we shall never get together on this earth until we find someone on Mars
01:24:25to hate.
01:24:28Sometimes I wonder why we keep trying.
01:24:37Lean there!
01:25:07And other times I know why we keep trying.
01:25:37I know someday we'll make it.
01:25:39I know someday we'll make it.
01:25:44I know someday we'll make it.
01:25:52I know someday we'll make it.
01:25:59I know someday we'll make it.
01:26:13I know someday we'll make it.
01:26:19I know someday we'll make it.
