And, if possible, tell Elsa and my
family that I'm well at the moment.
And that I'm praying for
the Lord to protect them.
And that I accept sole
responsibility for everything.
Could you pass
that on, please?
You can't get any more
out of him than the truth.
We make the truth.
You're not normally so soft.
It's from the file. Put it away.
You didn't get it from me.
That'll do for today.
Take him away.
Thank you.
And, what did
you have, a boy?
A boy.
He's ours.
I can see it.
I already told Erich
he'll be called Georg.
He was shouting.
But I signed the
midwife's certificate.
- You get some rest now.
- Stay.
Erich has gone drinking.
I have to get to work, Elsa.
The prisoner to the left, please,
with the gentlemen at the table.
The Oberfhrer
on the left, please.
If the prisoner could point
to the schematic, please.
And if the Oberfhrer could
bend down a little, please.
You stated the Fhrer
was bad for Germany.
That's right.
Heil Hitler!
Heil the Fhrer!
Our Fhrer made Germany great
and will lead us on to glory.
He is the greatest leader and won't
die until our destiny is fulfilled.
What is a worm like you
to do with such a man?
What lunatic has controlled you,
you imbecile?
It's like I said.
The Fhrer demands to know
who instigated this fool to act.
Have him hypnotised,
drug him, I don't care.
Use any means that our scientists
have been working on.
The Fhrer wants to
know who set it up.
He wants to know
who's behind this.
His patience has run out.
I could stay with my mother
for a while after the divorce.
What do you think?
She'll have the children.
There's work in Esslingen.
You can come down from
Munich on weekends.
I must know if you really
want this, Georgie.
I love you.
Elsa...
The boy...
Georgie!
Georgie.
So you're off to Munich.
Without a goodbye,
just like that.
Don't move.
So you do have
something in Munich.
And it's decided?
It's just for a short while.
I love you, Georgie,
but I have no choice.
I can take a lot,
but the children are hungry.
I'd give you money,
but I need it for Munich.
Elsa, wait for me.
Be faithful to me.
I've got something planned.
I can't tell you what,
but it's vital, and it'll be fine.
I want to marry you
when it's all over.
We'll move to Switzerland
with the children.
Think of the dancing.
It's not about dreams.
It's about life, Georgie.
I know you left
women before me.
Then I'll just have to be
a single mother forever.
I can't hear what
you're saying.
Tell us the names.
The names.
No...
The name!
Who provided the cartridges?
Who supplied the explosives?
I can't hear you.
You bastard!
The names, Elser!
Tell us the names!
Heil! Heil! Heil!
I did it on my own.
Nobody helped me.
I shall try and atone
for the bad things
that I have done.
By doing what?
And how?
By trying to...
By trying to integrate
myself into...
...the national community
and work within it.
Would you be able to?
I changed my conviction.
Because you were arrested.
No.
I'm certain my plan
would have succeeded,
if my conviction
had been right.
Since it hasn't succeeded,
I'm convinced it wasn't
meant to succeed
and that my conviction
was wrong.
Take him away.
Can I see a priest?
No.
5 YEARS LATER
SPRING 1945
BERLIN,
PLTZENSEE EXECUTION SITE
"The First Senate of the People's Court
ruled on March 2nd, 1945:
"The former SS Gruppenfhrer and
Lieutenant General of Police Arthur Nebe
is of thoroughly
flawed character.
"He took part in the
conspiracy of July 20th.
"He supported the attempt
on the Fhrer's life,
and was willing to assist the coup
by providing police personnel.
"He is sentenced to death for high treason
and will forever be without honour.
"His estate will go to the Reich. "
SPECIAL OCCURRENCES:
NONE:
DACHAU CONCENTRATION CAMP
SPECIAL PRISONER WARD
Nebe was executed
a few days ago.
Did you hear me?
Nebe's dead.
At Pltzensee.
- How do you know?
- From the new inmates, as usual.
They strung up Nebe?
Why?
He designated policemen for Stauffenberg
to arrest all ministers after the coup.
So much for the great show trial that
Goebbels wanted to put on for you.
It'll soon be over for me, too.
At least you got a few
more years out of them.
If only I knew what
happened to Elsa.
You keep asking about that woman.
How should I know?
With so many people dying.
She's not necessarily dead.
She might be alive,
imprisoned somewhere.
There's also good news.
'The College of Music for the Disabled'
has accepted me.
I'll learn how to sing now.
Viennese songs for zither.
As a little 'thank-you' for recommending
I try the College of Music.
You were young
I was young
Now it's all gone
Only the memories
Are all that carries on
You were pretty
I was smart
And so in love
Think back to the places
To the sweetest faces
Just because there's
nothing you can place above
Franz, you know
about these things.
What's quicker:
gas, hanging,
or being shot in the neck?
I've been waiting for so long.
It might as well
be over quickly.
...hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done
on earth as it
is in heaven.
Give us this day
our daily bread,
and forgive us
our trespasses...
The English reduced
Dresden to rubble.
Not one building
is left standing.
One hundred thousand
civilians killed in one night.
For thine is the kingdom...
Praying is pointless.
God is in America or in Moscow.
He won't hear you.
How can one man
fail as horribly as I?
Prisoner Elser,
for interrogation!
During one of the next terror attacks
on Munich or the Dachau area,
Elser will allegedly
suffer a fatal accident.
I therefore ask you to
secretly liquidate Elser,
when this situation arises.
Make sure that only very few specially
selected personnel know about this.
The incident report filed to me
should read along the lines of:
"On following the
terror attack on,
"special prisoner Elser, among others,
was fatally injured. "
You must destroy this letter once you
have taken note and carried this out.
sync, fix:
