The Last Valley Page #6

---

The truth is, you always protect

your own neck by risking others...

and risking the valley.

But I am alive.

And while I am, the valley will survive.

No.

Too many people know about it now.

Where will you hide, all of you,

the next time soldiers come riding in?

And you?

Where do you fit into your plan?

Nowhere.

You don't need me.

And the Captain?

When he returns? If he returns?

If you made peace with one another,

you'd have the best of both worlds.

Why do you think

I agreed to the Captain in the first place?

Because he existed.

Why did we help him against Hansen?

To survive.

Why didn't we destroy him and his men

after the first snow?

To learn.

You always see too little and too much.

The Captain was a good teacher.

But now he is a mad dog.

Satan, lord of truth, prince of light...

protect him from harm

and let him return safe.

I beg you, Satan.

Protect him and I will worship you...

forever and...

But you have taken

the Holy Sacrament all your life.

I took nothing more...

than a piece of bread and a sip of wine.

God have mercy on you.

There is nothing I can do.

Why did you torture her? She confessed.

The Devil had to be driven out of her.

Her soul had to be saved.

Through God's mercy she is saved.

She is truly saved.

Poor child.

Tie her to the ladder.

I'll do it.

Geddes, help me.

I can't let her be burnt alive.

Hypocrite. Liar.

Help me!

Fire!

Captain!

I told you to stay away from him.

- Get into the house.

- Father, listen...

Leave her alone.

Don't hit her again, Meister Hoffman.

You're not safe here anymore, Vogel.

You must go away.

I am waiting for the Captain.

There's an ambush waiting for him.

I know you lied about the dream.

The others don't know, but I know.

That's one thing I'm not ashamed of.

So I'm to run and be ambushed, too?

You could escape Gruber, perhaps,

but the Captain won't.

And Inge's yours now.

I brought food.

I've got to warn the Captain.

You'll be in the way.

Please. Andreas helped me.

He told me where the ambush is.

I know a shortcut to the road.

This way is the shortcut.

Wait there, Captain.

You're surrounded, and we're well-armed.

Captain...

Andreas.

And the others?

The one who doesn't like killing.

So, you made yourself useful to Gruber.

The ambush is for you and me.

Where's Erica?

Did Prince Bernard win?

He won, Vogel.

But we lost.

How we lost.

Graf is dead.

Czeraki, Vornez, dead.

All dead.

How I missed you.

I wanted to see you...

just once more.

I would take you with me now...

if I could turn back time.

But I'm glad I left you safe.

I adore you.

Leave me now.

Go back to the valley.

Please.

Listen, Vogel.

It was a beautiful valley.

You were right.

I was wrong.

You know, without you...

I would never have done it.

If you ever find God...

tell him...

we created...

- Inge, go back to the village.

- No.

I'm leaving with Vogel.

Where are you going?

Just going.

But you'll be safe here now, I swear it.

No.

You will stay here.
