I killed the two brutes

that murdered him.

He counted on you,

you because you're a patriot of humanity...

rather than a tool

of these war-mad Nazis.

That is dangerous talk, gypsy.

Look, there's going to be a war.

A war, do you hear?

Give me your horrible formula

and Germany dare not use it.

You know that we won't!

Jt's your duty as a scientist,

as a humanitarian.

Do I get it?

I don't know what

you are talking about.

[Radio]

Bekanntmachung des oberkommandos.

If ever I get out of this mess,

if I get back to England...

I shall have to tell your friends,

young Byrd's mother and father...

just how their son died. I don't want

to tell them he died for nothing.

[Man]

War! Jt's war!

- War!

- [Jndistinct Chatter]

- Did you hear that, Otto?

- Yes, my dear, I did, I did.

This gypsy's a traitor.

He'll get you into trouble.

No, my dear. No, he won't.

I'll report him to Reimann

when he comes.

I know you think

I'm trying to trick you-

It's war, Herr Krosigk! On the radio,

it just came over! Poland attacked us!

We are already across the Polish border!

Heil Hitler!

Heil Hitler!

Heil Hitler!

- Heil Hitler!

- Deutschland ueber alles!

Hurrah!

Hurrah! Hurrah!

Sieg heil!

Sieg heil!

# Deutschland ueber alles #

# Ueber alles in der welt #

- You have it?

- No. Get out I'm in trouble.

- Our luck goes bad.

- Already around neck I feel rope.

You two get away and I'll-

too late.

# Bruederlich zusammenhaelt- #

Good evening.

- I see everyone has heard

the glorious news.

- Yes! Yes! Glorious!

On the radio, heil.

- Good evening, Herr Reimann.

- A little slow getting over, Krosigk.

Had to wait for a report

on two of my men.

They were murdered while

tracking down two enemies of the Reich.

Our enemies are all around us,

Herr Reimann.

Sometimes under our very noses.

How true. As a matter of fact,

I am very glad you came over.

- I just-

- The murderers of my men

were two Englishmen...

named Byrd and Denistoun.

The names mean anything to you?

To me?

I don't understand.

I once knew a Mr Byrd

at Oxford, yes.

- But he is very old now.

- [Reimann] Oh, you admit that?

Do you realize the borders are very

closely guarded now that war is declared?

These men most certainly

will be caught...

- and made to talk!

- Talk about what?

Who are they? Herr Reimann,

that sounds very melodramatic.

Krosigk, we have reason to suspect...

that they may have

some business with you.

Really?

Then I insist that you

post a guard around this house.

I must be protected at all times.

You're very clever, Krosigk, but-

They have been telling

our fortunes...

and very well too.

Get them out of here.

[Krosigk]

Gypsy! Wait.

With your kind permission.

Here. This is what you wanted...

for telling my fortune.

And I believe it too.

Every word of it.

[Whispering]

Let's get away.

Well, this is it.

From here on I travel alone.

What about you and your people?

This war's gonna make it difficult.

We separate, scatter.

Like water in sand.

- Country will swallow us.

- Brother, you've been a good friend.

I shall never forget it.

Farewell, brother.

And one day you take

earrings from ears...

but you find roots of them

in your heart.

Goodbye, Lydia.

Goodbye, my dear.

I go with you to Rhine.

Without me, you do not get out of country.

- No, absolutely no.

- I am your luck.

- I won't have it.

- Ah, brother, with her,

what good is words?

'Til your tongue hang out, you say "no."

In the end is "yes."

That I have found out. Now go!

Come, liebling. We must be in mountains

before sun come up. Come.

[Car Approaching]

Not much of a war going on.

Sentries pretty well under cover.

- Not safe to swim across.

- Lydia, you're not going to try it.

No, liebling, before I meet you...

I seldom wash.

No time learn to swim.

Let's find a place

to wait until nightfall.

- I imagine this runs into the Rhine.

- Yes.

I'll follow the stream

down to the river.

It's luckier when you stick

close to running water.

Besides, the sound

will cover my footsteps.

Oh, liebling.

There is spell on me.

My head go round and round...

and I feel weak...

and frightened.

To me nothing matter any more...

only you.

All my life I believe

if I do not love one man...

I love another.

But now is different.

Is like... like...

having sickness.

No. You never knew

what real love was.

And I never knew what life was.

Now we've become like each other.

We've merged into each other.

Gypsy, gadze. Gadze, gypsy.

It's all one, Lydia.

- Mein ser.

- Uh-huh.

Now it is dark.

No moon, no stars.

Clouds.

I told you my luck

would keep you safe, huh?

- You worry when you swim,

keep money dry, huh?

- Yes.

Here. Here. Put in here.

Now you make your way to Switzerland.

You'll be safe there.

- You too?

- No, the Swiss would intern me.

But you would be safe.

No, I can't.

You... you are only half gadze.

And I, half gypsy.

Because I say go.

Goodbye, Lydia.

O spirits

of the earth and water...

guide my beloved.

Make him strong

like the oak tree.

Let him live in the beauty

and vigour of his seed.

Sweet spirits

of the earth and water...

I give you back my beloved.

[Spit, Spit, Spit]

- Paris.

- She was quite a woman.

Quite, Mr Reynolds, quite.

- But I thought you said

you returned them to her.

- Did I say that?

[Woman] We will land in four minutes.

Fasten your safety belts please.

We will land in four minutes.

Fasten your safety belts please.

[Spit, Spit, Spit]

Lydia.

Oh! Oh.

Oh, mein ser!

Oh! Mein ser!

I think you never come.

Oh, I just leaving.

Oh, mein ser!

Oh. Oh. Oh.

Oh, ser.

Come on, Apple. Giddap.
