Labyrinth of Lies Page #4

Because he was like us.

He studied,

became a doctor,

took the Hippocratic oath,

likes opera, the culture.

He is like us. He was your age

when arrived at Auschwitz.

I look at his photo...

Have you seen his picture?

He seems...

Seems nice.

If we let someone like him

go free, we are lost.

Come on, Gnielka,

I want to dance with my man.

-Johann, come.

-For a moment.

Our hero is tired.

You're going to catch him.

Don't worry.

Ladies, I'm here.

Marching happy

with our troop

the comrades killed

by the red front...

What's going on?

The war comrades

of my father.

They come once a month

and get drunk. It is terrible.

Pioneer-Battalion 221,

"every shot is a Russian."

Today I can not stand that.

Come, let's go to the Main.

No, take me to your house.

My landlady has ears like a lynx.

I'll take you home.

My dear.

Life is beautiful.

Can you tell me what country and city

have the code 005411?

Thanks, I will wait.

I know where Mengele is.

What? Where?

International calls of

Mengele family in Gnzburg.

Thanks.

Buenos Aires, Argentina.

I will go to the federal police.

We have enough against the baker,

Brandner. Issue an order.

I will.

Mengele is in Buenos Aires.

Here is his phone number,

it should be enough.

Here is the warrant for his arrest.

Please, bring him to Germany.

An interesting theory.

Unfortunately, the federal police

has a very limited means.

And South America is so far away.

But I'll deal with it gladly.

I will take you to the station.

-No need.

- Yes, I'll drive you.

Now we can talk.

We already know that Mengele

is located in Buenos Aires.

We have quite a dossier on him,

but...

But what?

Those who fled abroad

in 45 are taboo.

It is an order from above.

Can you help me in any way?

We know he repeatedly travels to

Gnzburg to see his family.

He is coming to Germany?

On a regular basis.

He knows that there is almost no risk.

Thanks.

I don't have time to take you

to the station, just wanted to talk.

Oh, certainly.

Thanks anyway.

You have been to the federal police.

- How do you know?

- Sit down.

Still don't understand

the magnitude of all this.

Mengele, Eichmann, and others

are protected by powerful friends.

We can't trust anyone.

No one.

-But I know where Mengele is.

-Yes, but you must leave it.

You got an order for his arrest,

leave it there.

Attorney general...

Focus on the other suspects

and leave Mengele to me.

Do you understand?

He said all.

We need to go through all these

looking for suspects?

Yes.

I'm not taking those up.

Your ideas always give me work.

Mengele's father died.

- When are your people in Gnzburg?

-You know how our store is running.

That is all I can do.

Do you think he is inside?

If Mengele has to come to Germany

at some point, it is now.

It stays there.

Do not know how to read?

It is a private event.

Johann Radmann, the office of

the attorney general of Frankfurt.

We are looking for Josef Mengele.

You scared me.

Thanks.

Can you do something for me?

Do you know where's Mengele?

All the people of Gnzburg

work in the factory of Mengele.

They won't say anything.

But my father says he saw

him in the cemetery today.

He recognized him.

But then he drove away.

I have to go back.

Here, you hear a lot of things.

Please call me if he re-appears.

-He did this to the children.

-I don't want to see it.

Have a good look. This is what

Josef Mengele did to children.

I know that today he was in Gnzburg.

The border police should check

all passengers to South America.

No, it is not "Naegele", "Mengele".

Martha, Emil, Nordpol,

Gustav, Emil, Ludwig, Emil.

Look again, it has to be

in the list. There is an order.

There is no time for a written request

he will be gone.

I can not believe it.

- Where have you been?

- Why?

The baker, Brandner,

is gone.

- What?

- Has been and now gone.

Because you have not

issued a warrant

-Yes, you had to play Zorro.

-You know...

I don't care!

We are state prosecutors.

Behave as one.

And do not drink alcohol in my office.

The attorney general

want to see you right away.

Goodbye.

You acted against my orders.

Shut up. How could you

let escape Brandner?

You were busy doing the ridicule

in Gnzburg.

What were you thinking?

I was at his father's funeral.

How does he dare to return

to Germany? Why?

Because he knows we

let him escape every time.

You've been on the case for 4 months.

What results do you have?

None.

We are out of time.

Right now, the minister of justice

supports me.

But after the elections

it can change.

And I'm gone.

There will be no trial.

Without Mengele,

the trial is meaningless.

Do you want to accuse a phantom?

Your obsession with Mengele

puts in danger the entire investigation.

And what about the others?

Mulka, Commandant Baer.

They are responsible for

hundreds of thousands of deaths.

Aren't they dramatic enough for you?

Here.

"If you continue like this,

You can also visit the gas."

"A traitor is the worst garbage

of the country."

"Life or death, Jew?"

etc., etc.

That's why we are doing this.

The germans have to see

the crimes which are committed

not by Hitler or Himmler,

but by normal people

that did it voluntarily.

Them we will bring to justice.

To the great trial.

That's the way, believe me.

And that's your job.

Mr. Mulka, I am Radmann, prosecutor.

You have not responded to our

subpoenas, I'm glad to find you well.

What do you want?

You were the deputy commander

of Auschwitz.

- And?

- I'm investigating.

Look, I was a soldier.

Never set foot in this camp.

I don't know what was going on there.

Give me a break!

You were the right hand of the commander.

We wll take you to the justice.

Leave me alone

Or you will get so many troubles

you won't know where they come from.

-We call it quits.

-I will continue.

You know what, Radmann?

You definitely are crazy.

But you definitely are not a green man.

Here are more photos of the ramp.

Left, right.

Left, right.

Left...

Do you know where is the right, Anton?

Right, left...

Who has misbehaved?

Alois Schulz, you are arrested for

accessory to murder hundreds of thousands men.

I only did administrative work.

Here.

This is you.

Yes.

Several witnesses have claimed

that you made selections on the ramp.

-Sent victims to the gas chamber.

-Yes, but...

Mr. Schulz, please.

The thing is.

It has to be prooved that Mr. Schulz

made those selections.

The photo is out of focus.

The camp seems like a horrible place.

Those who arrived there

after a grueling journey,

were in a state of shock.

I doubt that the testimonies

of those poor people are valid

almost twenty years later.

And even if Mr. Schulz

did select someone,

he did it in order to protect those

who can work from the gas chamber.

It was an act of saving human life.

Enough!

Mr. Radmann, I do not share

your interpretation of the law.

Mr. Schulz has declared

that he only followed orders,

which was his duty.
