Georg Elser - Das Attentat Page #3

---

you to see me like this.

What about Erich?

He'll get drunk at the pub.

The children are asleep.

You.

It's different with you.

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 STURMER

AGAINST JUDAH:

HARVEST FESTIVAL 1934

Flim-fum, church scum

Flim-fum, church scum

The Fhrer blows

the churches up

And all the priests

will be strung up

Like your saviour

on the cross

Flim-fum, 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!

- Sieg...

- Heil!

- 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.
