to keep an eye open for us

and report back to us.

Here, I brought you this.

Excuse me, sir,

but I can't accept a gun.

Why not?

If I wanted to carry a weapon

I would've come here earlier.

I wouldn't make a move in this

country without a weapon.

Okay, it's a deal.

You keep an eye on the nazis for me.

I'll go and have that coffee with Max.

Colonel Harris?

My father apologizes

that he cannot bid you goodnight

in person.

He is indisposed.

Just see to it, Larry, that your father

fills out that questionaire.

I've made arrangements

for someone to come

and verify it on Friday.

Come and sit down.

Father is taking his bath.

He's always retiring to his bath

when he is upset.

The Colonel is forcing him to fill out

this stupid questionaire.

So what's it all about?

They ask you about your relation

with the Nazi party.

And father has to have

a perfectly clean record

if he wants to retain his position.

And the Colonel knows father

will have to lie to keep Zentropa.

Your uncle wants to leave now.

He's waiting for you in the hall.

Goodbye, Frulein Hartmann.

There's one thing I want

to confess to you.

I fooled you a little the other day

when I pretended that

the tunnel frightened me.

It was the sight of those hanged

people what touched me so deeply.

After all they were only

fighting for their country

like most of the world

has been doing.

And suddenly it's a crime.

You have left the house.

Behnd you s the German famly.

You see before you the questonare

that s desgned to test

the gult of the country.

Frday, you wll be back.

Herr Kessler!

I'm a friend of the Hartmanns.

They were sure I could ask you

a small favour.

My nephews are going to Cologne.

Would you please look after them?

They're being picked up

at the station.

Here are their tickets.

Here you are, sir.

The children are with me.

O.K.

You can stay in here.

Compartment 13 has ordered

a bottle of sekt.

The name is Ravenstein.

By the way, no guests on duty.

I'll see to it that a fine of 7 mark

is deducted from your salary.

-Sekt for Ravenstein.

-Here.

We're celebrating.

The Allied command in Frankfurt

has appointed my husband mayor.

-Congratulations.

-Thank you.

Excuse me.

Are you the engine driver?

I'm the sleeping car conductor.

I don't want to impose on you

but my family and I have lived

in London during the war.

Now we're returning to WIstadt.

But all of a sudden my wife is

refusing to leave the train.

She's very upset about the present

state of Germany.

Would you be so kind as to help

me set her mind at rest?

If you'd perhaps reassure her

that WIstadt has been spared the

havoc of war.

We live in Sachsenstrasse 43.

I don't know WIstadt.

But what I've seen from the train

looks bad.

But you must help me.

You must.

I'll never get her off the train.

Our home is in WIstadt.

Maybe we could take a taxi

from the station.

My dear, I have encouraging news.

Please, repeat what you told me.

I don't really know WIstadt...

But you did tell me WIstatd

had been spared.

I've only seen it from the train.

Listen to that. Listen. Listen.

Next stop is WIstadt.

You'd better get ready.

Palestine!

Palestine, Palestine...

She wants to live in the desert!

We're Jewish, but we're German,

but we're Jewish.

You brutes!

Leo! Help me. These people

will kill me.

What's going on here?

We have dismantling orders

for all the heaters on this train.

But it's freezing outside!

War debts

for Scandinavia.

It's outrageous!

Take it easy, old man!

I don't have to accept this!

We gotta give the blankets

we have to the passengers.

-We'll get the children to help.

-Outrageous!

We've got problems

with the heater.

Here are some blankets.

Persecution!

We've got problems

with the heaters.

Here are some blankets.

Give the children some chocolate.

Hurry up!

We'd like another bottle of sekt.

Certainly, sir.

Security check before

the zone crossing.

Can we see the passenger list?

Sure.

Here we are.

You got the newly appointed mayor

Ravenstein and wife in 13.

Thank you.

Have another piece.

Security check before

the zone crossing.

Chocolate?

Security check before

the zone crossing.

Papers, please.

This paper has expired.

Do you have another paper?

You can't cross

the zone with this.

This guy's ID is no good.

No!

No!

No!

No!

One. Two. Three.

Four. Fve. Sx.

Seven. Eght. Nne. Ten.

You are at a party.

Leo?

I heard about that

little episode.

I understand you handled it

very well.

-I didn't do anything.

-That's just it.

We'd have a lot less problems

if everyone behaved like you.

By the way, we've already

appointed a new mayor.

The children were brought

to me by this man.

He claimed to be a friend

of the Hartmann family.

Yeah, yeah. They're not stupid

those Werewolves.

Listen, I can hardly recognize Max.

He's been staring off that window

for over an hour

waiting for the 9.15 to come in.

It's pathetic.

I insist on a return match

today, Colonel Harris.

Sure!

I've never understood how anyone

could be proud to be German.

If I had my way, I'd get on a plane

bound for America today.

You probably find that

hard to understand.

To me, the war was just

a waste of time.

Just as you would feel,

if you were to attend

the good Father's mass.

The ceremony might be colourful,

yes, even entertaining,

but to an unbeliever it's just

a sophisticated way

to waste time.

Shoddy, when the Sacrament

is nothing but a dry cracker.

She's flirting with you.

A bit scheming, don't you think?

Why don't you dance with her?

Not today.

I'm too tired.

All right, Max, the Jew is here.

Marie...

Please fetch those silly papers

for me.

The form must be verified

by somebody from the resistance

or by a jew.

Those are the rules.

I must ask you whether

you know this man.

Max, you have to turn around.

Max Hartmann is my friend.

He fed me and hid me

in his cellar.

I won't do it anymore.

No more.

Do as you please!

We handed out 13 million

questionaires

and found out that eighty per cent

of the Germans in our zone

had Nazi sympathies.

Max Hartmann is important

for the reconstruction

of the transportation system.

I admit I made a little private

arrangement with that Jew.

He broke into an American

food depot

and he's quite thankful

I got him out of trouble.

Is it my move?

What am I doing?

No, I think I'll retire.

There's no need to disturb

the Father and Alex.

Good night.

-Good night, father.

-Good night, father.

Your uncle has always

been a good man.

Don't forget that whatever happens

you must always do

what you think is right.

Never let anyone tell you

otherwise.

My dear Katharina...

Come, let's get out of here.

Blow out the lamp.

What?

The lamp...

Father has given Larry this train

for one of his birthdays.

Larry never touched it.

It was quite rude.

That thing with the questionaire...

It was a farce.

Colonel Harris forced

the Jew to sign.

I know.

I could see that father had never
