Amen Page #3

Elfriede!

Kurt!

Do not do that.

Stop!

I told you to stop!

I told you to stay there!

What happens?

You cannot stay here any more.

They bombard everywhere.

It is not that.

Go to Tbingen, with the children.

Let them finish the school year.

I said no, it means no!

You are right undoubtedly.

Adelheid, take along your brother to play.

If you could explain to me...

It is necessary to leave

As soon as possible.

I can say nothing else.

Is there another woman?

you make me laugh...

you make me laugh.

At least, I can still do that.

Who will look after you?

Mrs. Hinze will do.

Is she Jewish?

Did she tell you that?

Someone else?

You take too much to heart.

Do not forget that you have a family.

That is what counts...

more than all in the world.

Mrs. Hinze,

prepare my stuff.

I will call the carpenter.

The bombs already fell down.

Will you lead us to Tbingen?

My father will take you along.

I do not have the time.

There is a large black car!

I am relieved to find you.

An atrocious thing happened.

What a beautiful German family!

Don't you know?

The plane of the Fhrer

exploded on takeoff.

And was the Fhrer inside?

With Goebbels, Gring and Himmler.

And did anybody survive?

Yes...

Germany!

I had you! I had you!

I will denounce you for spreading

false good news.

The house of my father.

The bombardments damaged it.

The house of my friend

was puffed up.

Only the wall with the portrait

of Fhrer is intact.

The portrait of Fhrer

is always intact.

You are right.

You impressed

our colleagues specialists in...

Yes, impressed.

I leave...

for Theresienstadt.

I take you along.

Then you will see your manufacturer

of Czech hydrocyanic acid.

On the way, we will chat.

You are the only one

with whom it is still worth...

to chatter.

Why the only one?

Our colleagues

have a technical intelligence

but they the boasting kind,

or maybe drunkards,

or maybe degenerated.

Often, the three at the same time.

Your children

study natural science?

They are too young.

I have a splendid specimen

of judo-Bolshevik skull.

A skull?

There is no age to be informed.

I will show them.

For the anniversary of Darwin,

pure Swiss chocolate...

There was no need...

To give pleasure is my pleasure.

Let us see...

Mankind evolved from the monkey,

but the Negro and the Jew

stopped half-way.

Delicious!

No thank you.

Stop.

Control better

your facial muscles.

In the S.S. as in poker,

allies and adversaries

mustn't read your thoughts

or your play.

You read my thoughts?

As an opened book,

that is why I appreciate you.

What a treasure you have there!

Take great care.

See you day after tomorrow.

At 6:
30am exactly.

6h30 precise.

I am delighted in advance!

I am Riccardo Fontana.

We saw each other at the nonciature.

I am a Jesuit.

Jesuit...

Should I introduce you thus

if this man returns?

The one of the black car?

Introduce me as...

a "Spy of God",

according to Kierkegaard.

Spy of God...

or of the Vatican?

Of The Vatican

would hardly be plausible.

- What do you want?

- I was ashamed of the attitude of the Nuncio.

You've shaken me.

Tell me more about it.

More?

About what?

If what you say is true,

the Holy Father must be informed.

But he will ask me for evidence.

The Pope is unaware of

what we do to the Jews?

With his priests,

his parishes, his bishops,

He has the best service

of information in the world.

He is only informed of the

persecutions of catholics.

He should get information about

the fate of the Jews and Gypsies.

Gypsies

move much.

And the Jews are moved a lot!

The Pope does not wonder

where do the deportees go?

Nor the Pope,

nor my father, who is close to him,

do not have much regard for Mr. Hitler.

But they see that he succeeded

where nobody had dared:

to overcome Communism

in Germany and Russia.

And this man whom we do not estimate...

has become a myth.

Your myth

commits acts of cruelty

that only the Pope, vicar of Christ,

can denounce,

so that the world

and Germans know.

Once the Holy Father

know about these atrocities,

He will react firmnly.

But it is necessary that I know everything.

That will not be enough to convince him.

Sit down.

People who betray their country

...are always suspect.

Biscuits for Monseigneur.

He is very annoyed that you

went away without letting him know.

Monseigneur confers

with the minister of religion.

He wants that I let him in any moment.

He counts on your talents as a speaker.

It has negotiators Nazis

very difficult.

- Why this meeting?

- It's always the same.

To level the small divergences

between the Reich and us.

Small divergences?

They refuse to pay the tax

intended for the Church.

Shall I let him in?

Already back?

- I seek my father.

- How is the charming Mr. Hitler?

He sends his regards.

Your father is not here.

When will he be here?

Kurt, the Fhrer was mistaken

about the Jews.

Another one of your jokes?

He presented them

as very dangerous

at international level, right?

However, we've noticed

that it is easy to reduce them to smoke.

Even our lunatics

were defended better.

Our Churches...

I am...

a little catholic.

Our Churches saved our insane.

Nobody moves for the Jews.

American Jews

are powerful, They say.

But Roosevelt keeps silent.

If Fhrer was mistaken,

like you say,

why continuing?

He was mistaken in the diagnosis,

not the remedy.

We must get rid of them.

But I believe

that we are lost.

Pardon?

This idiot is driving in circles.

Straight ahead!

I woke him up.

The Reich needs

men like us.

Men who know how

to rein in their conscience,

Not like these rough brainles

who feel higher...

because they have been told

they are Aryan.

It is splendid! Splendid!

A true Raphael!

The press is interested in your father!

The Pope dedicated the world

to the immaculate heart of the Virgin Mary

...to restore peace.

It is an important celebration.

And I must present it.

It's only a celebration...

You look tense.

Does the Nuncio send you on a mission?

I came here on my own initiative.

On your own initiative!

The Jews are exterminated in

countries occupied by Germany.

We will finish tomorrow.

Leave us.

Leave us!

I came to inform the Holy Father of this.

He does not need you

to get information.

If he was informed,

he would have banished these atrocities.

Mind your tone!

His Eminence, the cardinal...

Let him in.

- Can he see you here?

- Yes.

Of my garden.

Thank you. They are gorgeous.

Riccardo, my boy,

you are superb!

- How is the abominable Mr. Hitler?

- Always abominable.

And our American friend?

I await him, Eminence.

The Nuncio did not announce your arrival.

I came without...

It would seem that the German army

is said to be blocked in Stalingrad.

I have secret information

on the death camps.

Here it is,

we have a secret agent there

who leaves his station

without warning the Nuncio.

The Holy Father must be informed.

The Holy Father holds Mr. Hitler
