Do you know that?

When will you be going back

to Konstanz?

If the instrument maker pays

for the maple wood, we could make it.

Yes, Georg, God willing.

If not, the marshals

will come take our house away.

Where do we go then?

I don't know.

I might move in with Elsa.

You shouldn't fool around

with married women.

There's no fooling around.

Erich is asking for a lodger

because he's hard up.

You're not fooling me.

No one around here has any money.

You want to be near that woman.

She has a bastard child and you too.

Don't get carried away, mother.

I'm a bastard myself.

But your father married me.

Elsa made her daughter

legitimate too. So what?

You left Mathilde with your child.

Is that the done thing?

I don't care what the done thing is.

If two people aren't right together,

it's misery.

Just look at you and father.

You'll see what this leads to,

always doing exactly the opposite

of God's plan.

Where else could they be?

We'll find them, don't you worry.

- Halt! Gruppenfhrer, you'll go there!

- Yes, sir!

Georg, I need your help.

Eberle is after me.

Why?

After their last rally,

the Nazis arrested all party members.

Come in.

- I knew I'd find you here.

- Put your hands up.

What have we here?

We only have orders

to go after party members,

but soon it'll be the rest

of your Bolshevik scum.

Take him away.

What do you think you're doing?

Is he one of them too?

He's just a big-mouthed musician.

Go inside.

This is none of your business.

All right, then. Let's go.

WITH THE STRMER AGAINST JUDAH

HARVEST FESTIVAL 1934

Flim-flum, church scum

Flim-flum, church scum

The Fhrer blows the churches up

And all the priests will be strung up

Like your saviour on the cross

Flim-flum, church scum

Beat it, you dirty scoundrels!

Leave it, Leonhard!

Now they're even blasting things

on the Lord's day.

OK? Well, go on...

Hello, hello.

Stand closer together.

NSDAP CINEMA:

SHOWING THE SHEPHERDS' RUN

- Alfred!

- Eberle!

Good that you could make it.

Have you eaten?

When does it start?

It's about to start.

Listen up, everyone! The screening

will start in five minutes' time.

First come, first served.

Let's go then.

One after another.

Like a farmer eating dumplings.

No, no, Elmar.

You have to get in line too.

Leonhard.

We saved you a space.

I took part in the Shepherds' Run.

Maybe I'm in the film.

There's free beer and a sausage stew.

We only have turnip at home,

but we're decent people.

So?

You'll have to decide, son.

National comrades, I'll keep it short.

I know you're more excited about the film

than Eberle's speech.

However, today

we witness once again

how the Fhrer brings us

technological progress.

Even the most remote parts

of the German Reich

will see wealth and comfort.

That's right. Bravo!

Within three years,

we will all have our own radio set,

connecting us to modern times.

I promise you,

all of the village's streets

will be paved and lit.

This is progress.

This is our Fhrer, Adolf Hitler.

- Sieg...

- Heil!

And now, our wonderful Shepherds' Run

as a motion picture.

Please.

Georgie.

You're lucky you can still

move freely in the village.

You claim to have organised

your own gunpowder plates.

Where exactly did you get them from?

Before deciding

on the actual details of my plan,

I used my position at the steel works

to steal a total of 250 pieces

of pressed gunpowder.

How do you know

it was exactly 250 pieces?

I counted them.

Who else knew about this?

Nobody. The theft was not

discovered by the company.

I wrapped the powder in paper

and hid it in my wardrobe at home.

And the dynamite?

I stole it from the quarry at night.

What was the name of your boss?

I can't remember.

I only met the man three or four times.

If you don't talk,

they can have you shot,

any time, up there in the yard.

It's true.

I'm not covering up for anyone.

Do you really think

we won't uncover everything?

No, Mr Nebe, I don't.

That's why I'm

completely honest with you.

And?

We inquire about a monumental attack

and the Swiss send this.

"The proprietor describes Elser

as hard-working.

"It was noted he often left work

to go swimming in the afternoons.

"He more than made up

for the missing time in the evenings.

"We have no knowledge

of Elser's acquaintances."

Take your hands off your face!

Dot, dot, comma, swish,

makes a face round like a dish.

What about the hair?

What about the ears?

Iris!

I found something!

The marshals will come on Monday.

We'll have to leave our home.

I sometimes wonder

how it would be with you.

You and me together.

You could play in an orchestra.

Maybe in Switzerland.

Or in America, they pay more there.

Are you serious about me, Georgie?

This might be the first time

I'm serious about anyone.

I'm pregnant again.

Don't. The children mustn't find out.

They talk a lot at home.

I think it's your child.

But I haven't always been able

to fend off Erich.

I prayed for the Lord to take the child,

regardless of whether it's yours or his.

You mustn't say that, Elsa.

Who will feed the child?

Why can't they let us be how we want?

You have to get a divorce.

Am I supposed to move in with you,

now that they're taking your home?

Where will you live now?

Uncle! Mummy says

you'll sleep in our basement.

I'm not your uncle. I'm Georgie.

Are you going to paint faces

and protect me from the bogeyman?

If he comes, I'll get my accordion

and play so terribly that he runs away.

Mummy, Georgie is here.

And, very important:

no female visitors. Understood?

Your reputation isn't the best,

but I must protect mine.

That's why I won't tolerate anything.

So it's free board and lodging

until the furniture is finished,

and then 20 a month.

Sign it.

So this is it.

There's a mattress in the other room

that you can have.

I'll clean the window for you, Georgie.

To make it brighter.

My wife doesn't clean for lodgers.

First we need to oil the hinges.

If you can't pay

or you breach the contract,

you'll have to move out.

- Understood?

- I'll always find work.

Come on! Beat it!

I'M THE BIGGEST PIG AROUND

AS I MIX WITH JEWS IN TOWN

But, Lore...

What's all this about?

You can join her if you like.

Get lost!

It's not my birthday.

I bet they wear this in Ulm,

or even in Stuttgart.

You're crazy.

Thank you.

Shall I take it up like this?

Or maybe even shorter?

Shorter is nice.

But don't wear it

when Erich's around.

Don't worry, it's just for you.

What's wrong?

They sat Lore in the square

with a sign round her neck.

Because of her boyfriend?

Poor thing.

But there's nothing we can do.

It's getting worse and worse.

Elsa...

It's Schurr!

I can't be seen with people.

Come on in. Hurry.

After the Heuberg concentration camp

they sent us to work at satellite camps.

There was at least one death every week.

- Where are you working now?

- At the steel works.

I get out every two weeks for

good behaviour, but mustn't see anyone.
