(majestic music)
(static crackling)
- And the Lord said,
"I will bring you up out of
the afflictions of Egypt,
unto a land flowing with milk and honey."
(townspeople clamoring)
"Flowing with milk and honey."
Us, too?
- Yes, If we keep in our
hearts our faith in his word.
- Why have we got to live here?
Why can't we leave the ghetto?
- You can, but whether
you live here in poverty,
or outside the walls in a palace,
you will always pay the
price of our heritage.
- Always?
- Who are we to question
the ways of the lord?
Perhaps, someday, the walls will crumble,
like the walls of Jericho,
and all the world will be one people.
(townspeople clamoring)
(shouting indistinctly)
(hooves pounding)
(carriage wheels squeaking)
- Me, pardon.
I shall have my Coachman
fleshed for his carelessness.

I should reward him for every
course so charming delay.
- Rep Joseph.
- Jews.

With your silk stockings,
and ruffles, and buckles,
and (indistinct) up behind?
- I want position, respect.
Not for my sake, only, but
for the sake of all of us.
I want power.
- You young folk, (laughs).
Can't you understand that real power lies
in never showing it?
Look at my counters in Wurttemberg

(crowd shouting)
(group chattering)
- Gentlemen,
when the untimely deaths
of my predecessor is son,
you know rapid succession made me Duke.
I also believe in the constitution,
down me amongst other duties,
to defend our country against an enemies.
How can I do that without a proper army?
(group chattering)
- His Highness, we cannot
afford a larger army.
- We can be afford it.
- The people cannot pay
us what for the late Duke,
extravagances, the coronation expenses,
and your personal requirements,
the treasury is empty.
- (indistinct) you hear me, fill it.
And you gentlemen can
rigling in your chairs,
till the seats of your

But with or without your help,
I intend to raise and maintain
an adequate standing army.

you been doing lately?
- Affairs of state Highness.

Don't (indistinct), how dare you!
Declare you are actually

There's the whole fools.
And how do you realize
you need a big alarming.
- If they're so old and so petty,
so we must do without them.
I prepared the scheme, which
will give us a powerful army,
then everything will follow in its train,
as Your Highness will see,
it does not involve increased taxation.
It's only the system of fine.
- You're clever Suss.
- Thank you very much, Your Highness.
(floor pattering)

been waiting for months,
for you to come and see me.

well it has happen and again I asked you,
what are you going to do Joseph?
It's only you can save him.
- (mumble) it's not so easy.
You were thinking of the
fate of one men only,
I have to think of all Jewries,
then such responsibility
rests on my shoulders,
I must make sure that I
don't sacrifice everything
gain for small points.
- Small point.
It's you in danger of his
life, his small point.
And you could prevent it
with one word to your Duke.
You want me to go back and
say Joseph Suss is a traitor.
- That's not true.
Haven't I already done enough for Jewry?
- I know, I know, you have
build Synagogue, hospital,
a school, to-
- Good.
- Give money to the poor.
- Good.
- I also give money,
who doesn't ?
- Well, I have done much more.
If I deserved to Jewry and turn Christian,
how easy it would have been
for me to have become the first
many of the empire.
But I remained the Jew, I've never denied,
I am a Jew.
- Then show yourself heaven,
But no, no, no.
- I can't settle anything today,
I must think it all carefully.
It might not be a opportune.
- Opportune, to save a Jew
who is guilty of nothing,
but being a Jew.
Very well let's Errickman die.
He will not be the only one,
once they're let loose,
they will kill and torture all of us.
Except, Joseph Suss, who
sacrificed his race for his house,
for his lackeys, for his gold and braid.
(truckling sound)
- You-
- Is it true that you're willing
to let an innocent man die,
rather than risk your
own personal advancement.
- No, no it isn't true.
Surely, you understand.
- The child does not understand.
She has heard that one
word from you to the Duke,
can save this man's life.
You a beloved partner,
so great, so good, a pillar of Jewry.
- A pillar of Jewish, she said.
I will show her,
that my power has not
been striving for in vain.
I will do it now, (chuckle).
And then I go to the child.
- Before you see the child
go first to see your mother
in Frankfurt.
- Well.
- Your Highness has told me so many times,
that any favor I might like
to ask, would be granted.
May I remind Your Highness,
I have never availed myself
of your patients off,
but today, I have come to ask-
- Oh, no Suss, you've ruined everything.
I wanted it to be a surprise for you.
Look, letter to the emperor,
asking him to make you a noble.
In my own handwriting too.
I am overwhelmed, but this wasn't a favor,
I wish to ask Your Highness.
- Huh! Not enough,
what do you want?
- I want Zillickman.
- Zillickman! Who is Zillickman?
- Zilickman is innocent.
As Your Highness very well knows,
in the name of justice,
I ask Your Highness to
grant him his freedom.
- How dare you come me and plead,
for this crawling child murderer.
- He's no murderer, there's no evidence.
I must therefore repeat my
request for his freedom.
- You fool.
What will you get beside all this for?
Is that Zilickman after but all the Jews,
and you in particular.
- I realize there's a fool
(indistinct) of what you say.
But I still want Zilickman.
- Have you no gratitude
for all I've done for you.
How can you have the
front rates to stand down,
calmy ask me for this.
Once and for all Suss, keep out of this.
Don't be a fool.
I'll get your(indistinct)
from the emperor.
Your future is assured.
(rustling sound)
Do you think you're indispensable to me,
that you insult me into my face.
Do you think because I need
you, my financial counselor.
- That appointment no longer stands.
- Huh.
- I ask you to accept my resignation.
I shall leave today.
- Ah, (indistinct) then,

being a Jew has more power,
than any noble man in Germany.

And behind that Princes

Carry on as if you're in church.
(indistinct) see, you can find some wine,
I feel like a glass of wine.

hmm, that little bitch.

daughter of our good Jew.
That Highness was my little surprise.
- A masterpiece of a girl.
And oriental dream.

- And now you should drink to the health
of your Duke Naomi.
(floor pattering)
- Naomi.
(laughs)
Child, Naomi.

cunningly arranged, (laughs).
We'd have some fun out

(laughing).
They are beautiful

How'd you manage to get here?
- (indistinct) now Your Highness.
- I've seen corpses before,
I have seen a 1000 corpses

Men who died through me.
Why should I be afraid
of little dead Jews.
- Might come away Highness.
- It's (indistinct)
I'm afraid of the Jews,
find the carriage, dispatches to Jews,
tell him to meet me here without delay.
- But Highness.
- No other message.
(door opens)
(truckling sound)
- Is the Duke guilty of her death.
- You are guilty of her death.
- If I had gone away with her,
far away very far,
(indistinct) sorry Duke.
(crying)
- Can I speak to her?
- If you, set your feet on the right path.
Then she will have peace.
The Duke is here.
He wishes to speak to you.
(shutting door)
- You're man Suss.
Do not give wage or grief.
I've seen the girl.
I know what she was to you,
I understand you still have
other things in your life,
you'll have the favor of your Duke,
let it be a comfort to you.
- Yes, my lord Duke.
- Truly and sincerely, I'm sorry for you.
But if you think I had
anything to do with it,
I assure you, you're on the wrong track.
Who would have thought the
girl would misunderstand,
the little joke?
- Yes, my lord Duke.
- I don't want anything
to come between us,
don't bare me a grudge.
Give me a hand.
Yeah, now carry your dead.
And hurry back to us, at (indistinct).
(shutting door).
- You see, how slay I had
become, I shook his hand,
he couldn't understand.
Now, he back to (indistinct),
does he hope to buy me
off with honors, money.
Wrong, my lord Duke.
Wrong my lord Murderer.
Wrong, wrong, wrong.
- Your Excellency is satisfied.
- He is very good.
Ah, there you are.
- Here.
- We, hope you (indistinct)
a little surprise to this.
Ah, your man try make up you're engage.
- Can I (indistinct) is a lady.
- How did ever see you
in the palace nowadays.
- I'm very busy Highness.
- No complaining, man.
I don't want to lose touch with you.
You've always been a
faithful minister service,
we used to be a friend as well.
- Your Highness flaters me.
- No, as long as you
realize I'm not ungrateful.
The more you do for me Suss,
the more you will benefit.
No malice.
- Whose is the pretty girl.
Hmm, who is she?
- My daughter.
- Your daughter?
I never knew you're married.
Well, no doubt you're wise
to keep her out of the way,
(indistinct) acceptable, isn't it?
- She's dead Highness.
- Yeah, great tragedy.
Quite recent, I forgot
to tell you about it,
So many things I think about,
every day, we better be
going Suss has worked to do.
- Poor Jew, not even your grief,
can interfere with your work.
- My grief will only make
me back to the harder.
- That's right, that's right.
For a mutual benefiting.
Now, I showed you the
competence I have in you.
I'll appoint your finance director.
You also sign all you
(indistinct) to yourself,
and be answerable to no man.
Oh, good night Mr. Finance director.
- Good night.
- Your man, should show us out.
You must get back to your desk?
(truckling sound)
- Staple that.
Karl Alexander, you (indistinct) tech,
(indistinct) and tech declare
there should emergency taxes,
not be paid in full
immediately upon demand.
The strain shall be made
upon the goods and check ups,
the house holder in question,
up to the value of thrice the amount,
of the unpaid taxes.
(crowd chattering)
- All right, nothing is
stole from us illegally,
against the constitution,
which is our only protection.
(group shouting yes)
there's no emergency involve in there,
we are not surrounded by enemies.
We only have one enemy, who is he?
- He is the Duke.
- A Duke , yes.
The Duke sets his seal to the new taxes,
but does he get them?
- Inform the Duke that he is Jew.
(group chattering)
(laughing)
- Put a light to him.
(crowd laughing)
If we've bottom (indistinct),
are to hold up heads,
we must take a strong line.
(group chattering)
- Go on, continue your speech.
What is the stone line
you are going to take?
- Huh, I'm waiting-
- Pardon, excellencia.
I did not think I-
- You (indistinct), you
dare to insult your Duke,
and his ministers, back to your houses,
everyone of you.
And learn this lesson once and for all,
your fast duty under the
constitution is to respect,
and obey your Duke, get out.
(crowd shouting)
(floor pattering)
- You humble servant Your Highness.
May I repeat you Highness,
your humble servant.
- Suss you've got me into a pretty mess.
Why in hell's name have you
tighten the screw just lately.
Have you lost your cleverness?
For long you've turn the
whole country against me,
counselor, pausing around me like Hornets,
to get rid of you.
- If Your Highness has more confidence,
in the gentlemen of the council.
- What's it?
- I do not care to give my services,
where they're not wanted.
- How can you say that?
When I adjourned the council
without answering them,
how dare you stand there complaining,
when I stick by you in the
teeth of all ministers,
in the teeth of all my people.
- You stick by me Your Highness,
off course you know that
I alone can help you,
to be a king,
perhaps even an emperor.
The second, Alexander the great.
- Yes, but surely there
must be some way without
touching the constitution.
- Constitution,(laughs).
If it stands in your way, tear it up.
- You mean-
- Yes, take back the
right, which God gave you,
which has been stolen from you,
by the so-called constitution.
Being the realities is
the rule of your country.
Be (indistinct).
- How can it be done?
- The plan is here.
We spent next Tuesday night,
in your hunting lodge,
the Zoom age of your (indistinct)
household (indistinct),
it's a given allergenic
(indistinct) all the leaders,
of the constitutional party.
You will then disarm the militia,
occupy the parliament,
and on Wednesday morning,
King Karl Alexandra
will enter (indistinct).
Here is the list of people to be arrest.
- That's possible.
I have (indistinct) done.
(banging the table)
This all (indistinct).
- Yes, but it passed lord, maybe needed.
- Hmm.
I have it.
I own motto (indistinct), I die.
(laughing)
If only I could get
rid of this cousin Jew.
(laughing)
- What, this is too charming,
one of the more, since
your visit is so I accept-
- There no time for gallant speeches,
there's no need for them.
I brought you this.
- The list of arrests,
I gave His Highness.
How did you get it?
- His Highness paid me
the honor of visiting
this evening.
He was very triumphant and very drunk,
he drunk still more than
flourish that paper at me.
When I'd read it,
I arranged that he should
get to take it away.
- Diana Sturksman, Don Makobo, Earnes Flu,
Joseph Suss Oppenheimer.
(laughing)
Joseph Suss Oppenheimer, (laughs).
The old folks, the old reckless folks.
Did you bring this to me?
Because my name was on it.
- Yes.
- Why?
- Because, every day, since that time,
I've been listening to my
heart beating out three words.
I hate him, I hate him, I hate him.
And then suddenly tonight,
when I saw your name on that paper,
I realized those were not the words.
- No man, has ever been
more vital to a woman,
than I have been to you.
I deliberately destroyed,
what might have been,
in spite of all that, you
bring me this tonight.
And in return, I can
still give you nothing.
- But you will save yourself.
You won't let-
- You wouldn't need fear
for me nor for your father,
that at least I can promise you.
But I must still follow my stuff,
wherever it's leads me,
but follow it I must.
(crowd laughing)
- Gentlemen.
Gentlemen I give you a toast,
His Majesty Karl Alexander
first king of Wurttemberg.
(bell ringing)
- Your Majesty.
(group chattering)
- Why doesn't the courier come.
- Is the storm and the bad roads Highness,
he will be here in a minute now.
- (indistinct) is it the courier?
- No Highness, your medicine.
- Ah, give me the med.
Where's the winch.
- In your private cabinet Highness.
She's been there two hours.
- (indistinct) wait, (indistinct) she,
business before pleasure.
- Some more wine Your Highness.
- No, my doctors says.
Yes, to hell with the doctor.
He's (indistinct) alive,
weaker than (indistinct),
says like carry to much blood,
no, nonsense, Sturm give me some wine.
I can't taste the stuff (indistinct) news.
- There's nothing to worry about Highness,
the plan is fullproof.
- Off course it is, and
my Jew work it out for me.
(laughing)
That's a funny part, but he
should have worked it out,
but now he's ...
- It's the courier Your Highness.
- I'll see him, myself.
(truckling sound)
And you are not Minchen, has not-
- No, Highness.
General Minchen has not arrested me.
No one has been arrested tonight,
(indistinct) except General Minchen,
it was the people militia who
used the first one attempt,
is you of all your troops,
who help in disarm,
in short Highness, (indistinct) has fail.
- Did you?
Did you?
- Yes, Highness, I did.
(floor pattering)
- Neuffer, the doctor.
(shutting the door)
And the priests.
So, you would try and
escape me by dying with you,
but I won't let you die until
you have listened to me.
You killed my child,
and as I faced your casket dead body,
because I didn't spring at you,
and squeeze your (indistinct) throat.
You believed you had escaped my vengeance,
you ratchet (indistinct).
This has been my vengeance,
to a path to up and make
you dream of being the
King Caesar an emperor
and then to show you,
what you really are,
yes ups lamp of flesh.
I tell you (indistinct) to your self,
and the whole world.
And all the time, we
could have been friends.
Karl Alexander, if you, at
first, that he need the best,
instead of the worst.
There would have been no end,
to what we could have
done together,(chuckle).
You great prince and hero.
(laughs)
(floor pattering)
- The Duke is dead.
- And who will be king of Wuttemberg now?
A child in arms.
- The peoples party will retain
power, we should join them.
- Whatever we do,
we look like falling between two stools.
- Is a very devil, I say.
- You don't seem to see quite clearly,
what you should do and in
this unusual situation.
Arrest me, then you are safe,
whoever comes out on top.
- In the name of the Duchess
and of the constitution,
I arrest your Jew.
- I confess to having been a
loyal servant to my master.
I lead you the Head of the State,
according to the very constitution
to which you gentlemen,
are professing, such an ardent loyalty.
If that is treason, then gentlemen,
I am being tried by time.
- Stop quibbling, Jew.
You can't escape a ride to
hell in a gallows scott,
better save your time and
hours by giving us a good
respectable confession.
- You put it so charmingly,
that you almost tempt
me to confess to things,
I haven't done, after all,
you can't hang me higher than the gallows.
Can you?
- In law we have no case.
I warned you on this from the beginning.
You have no chance of me hanging
him on any of the charges.
- Oh yes, I have.
- The precedent that lord's
forgotten out of date.
It has not been in foster for 200 years.
- Still on the statute book,
and I can think of no man,
to whom it should be more
applicable than Suss.
Have you had carnal relations
with christian women?
- I had no idea,
that was facing the court of Morgans.
But if the court requires a complete list,
of all my transgressions,
since I arrived at manhood,
together with the ladies
names and their addresses,
I can only refuse.
- You've heard the prisoners
own admission, under article 47
of the penal court.
It is clearly laid down,
that a Jew who has relations
with a christian woman,
should suffer death.
- Gentlemen,
if you wish to condemn
me today on this score,
I admit you can do.
The entire holy home
and empire, will laugh,
but not at me.
- Please, Highness.
(clearing throat)
- My son-in-law Karl Alexander was a fool,
I always realized that, but you are not.
So, shall we say for my daughter's sake,
I have decided to help
you regain your freedom.
- Highness of my own free
will like change my palace
for this cell.
Obviously, then I must
have it good reasons
for such an exchange,
Your Highness mean and messy.
- Suss, don't be (indistinct) fool,
what you up to?
To die for (indistinct),to
(indistinct) after.
(indistinct) of nowadays
it's just not that,
I have arranged everything,
but it's just one very small
condition I have to make,
but it will cost you a
minimum of inconvenience,
merely that you become a Christian.
(laughs)
- Once before in my life Highness,
I must face to this problem.
I went for guidance to the only
person I thought could help
me, but that person was not there,
on that moment I knew my
problem, it ceased to exist.
To her I had always been a Jew,
therefore the Jewish shall remain.
Your Highness, need mercy.
(floor pattering)
(door open)
- But am I not the mother
of the reigning Duke?
- Certainly Your Highness.
But when the reigning
Duke has infinite arms,
the constitution lays down,
the country shall be governed by a region,
by the vote of the council.
I am appointed region during
your child's modality.
- Laws sounds very stupid and complicated.
I really don't understand it.
I wish the Jews here to advise me.
- That is quite impossible Highness,
the counselor are waiting your attendance,
to sign the process for these tests?
I've already had General Minchen.
- I'm (indistinct) sorry to hear that.
I never did care for that man,
compared with the Jew with positive vow.
You can't leave that there like that,
looks like a piece of string.
I don't want him here,
Why can't he work for me
as he did to my husband.
- That Highness, is quite impossible.
There'll be a revolution in
the country within 24 hours.
- Well, it's your affair not
mine you're the (indistinct).
No, (indistinct), you stuck
that pin right into my head,
all the same it's a nuisance without him.
I still miss the Jew.
He was such an amusing man,
and very loyal poor Karl.
(buzzing sound)
(crowd chattering)
(coughing)
- The first snow.
- Some wine Joseph, sweet
wine from Palestine.
- It will be piling up,
over (indistinct).
- This is always good
for next year, blooming.
(coughing)
- Yes, I remember how it
snowed when Leah died.
I had never seen a grave before,
I dreaded it.
I always imagined it as a cool, ugly gash,
of the greedy earth, like the snow,
had turns it into a listening,
white hollow, so soft,
so kindly, that all my fear
left me and I was at peace.
Then when I came home,
it wasn't little like
bundle the giant, Naomi.
(door opens)
- Bring along.
(floor pattering)
(group chattering)
(crowd shouting)
(truckling sound)
- No, we shall see if we
can't hang you with higher,
than the gallow.
(crowd shouting)
(truckling sound)
(crowd shouting)
- (indistinct)
(crowd shouting)
(crowd singing)
(orchestral music)
(speaking in foreign language)
(orchestral music)
(speaking foreign language)
(crowd foreign language)
(crowd shouting)
(orchestral music)
(static crackling)
- And the Lord said,
"I will bring you up out of
the afflictions of Egypt,
unto a land flowing with milk and honey."
(townspeople clamoring)
"Flowing with milk and honey."
Us, too?
- Yes, If we keep in our
hearts our faith in his word.
- Why have we got to live here?
Why can't we leave the ghetto?
- You can, but whether
you live here in poverty,
or outside the walls in a palace,
you will always pay the
price of our heritage.
- Always?
- Who are we to question
the ways of the lord?
Perhaps, someday, the walls will crumble,
like the walls of Jericho,
and all the world will be one people.
(townspeople clamoring)
(shouting indistinctly)
(hooves pounding)
(carriage wheels squeaking)
- Me, pardon.
I shall have my Coachman
fleshed for his carelessness.
- Oh, no, there's no need to be so unkind.
- You are right.
I should reward him for every
course so charming delay.
- Rep Joseph.
- Jews.
(door slams)
(hooves pounding)
- Lovely girl, who are they?
- The Prince of Thurne
and Taxis and his daughter, Mario Goose.
Jew haters.
Christian child was
murdered in their country,
and naturally a Jew was burned for it.
- Oh, it tables Launders.
300 years ago now, we
are arriving now, 1730.
- So what?
They did it in 1430,
they can do it in 1730,
they can do it in 1830,
they can do it in 1930,
who is going to stop them, you?
With your silk stockings,
and ruffles, and buckles,
and (indistinct) up behind?
- I want position, respect.
Not for my sake, only, but
for the sake of all of us.
I want power.
- You young folk, (laughs).
Can't you understand that real power lies
in never showing it?
Look at my counters in Wurttemberg
for whom I do business.
She had power for 20 years.
She made a fuss of it.
And now, (laughs).
(crowd shouting)
- What say?
(crowd shouting)
- It's the field marshal, Karl Alexander.
(crowd shouting)
- Your Highness, this is a great honor.
- And I hope you'll make me comfortable.
And it is better arrived for me?
- No, Highness.
- These damn politicians,
they're a curse on the country!
- Yes, Highness.
- Your picture, Highness,
it hangs in every room.
Ah! What a victory!
- Magnificent.
- Magnificent?
Is not.
- What you mean?
The member of the Duke
house of Wurttemberg.
- (indistinct) maybe a second cousin.
It's not good for us.
I know, I refused him a loan, once.
He's even got only one good foot!
- He was wounded at Belgrade.
He's a great general.
- What you want me to do?
Make a wall for him?
(laughs) I have other troubles.
- Me, the greatest field
marshal of the empire,
kept waking by a pack
of moldy politicians!
- Yes, Highness.
- Anyone would think I'd
asked for the Dutchess itself,
instead of a small
increase to my pay, hah!
The victor of Belgrade.
She did as though he was a junior ensign.
I'll not stand for it, I'll-
(knock raps)
Come!
- A runner from the prince
of (indistinct) and Texas,
reminding Your Highness
that he's expecting
the honor of your company,
at the fancy dress ball, tonight.
- I'd better see about a
costume, Your Highness.
- If I might be permitted, I
think I could arrange that.
- Fancy dress ball!
And I Hope can see, all.
Fancy dress, fancy dress hah!
Well, why not?
Got no money, well might amuse myself,
women like that got more
sense than those politicians
ain't no, Neuffer.
- Yes Your Highness.
- Hmm, pretty girl at Mario Goose.
Wouldn't mind taking her back to Belgrade
or they wonder if she'd come.
Got too much money.

Suss Oppenheimer, Highness.
- Never mind Neuffer, (laughs),
it's a very nice costume.
- Hmm.
- How much did you charge
him for the costume?
- My dear Landauer.
I was only too happy
to oblige His Highness,
as one gentleman to another.
(door knock)
Come in.
- From his Royal Highness.
We are keeping the costume.
- One moment,
For your (indistinct).
(foot pattering)
(door opening)
- You may be a gentleman to yourself,
you may be a gentleman to your mother.
I might even let you be a gentleman to me,
but to a gentleman, you
ain't know gentlemen.
(gentle orchestral music)
- That' Belgrade (indistinct), here a my,
with my 700 (indistinct) as you can see,
(indistinct) is surrounded,
there only one way we could go?
- (indistinct)
- Forward.
- Okay, (chuckle).
- I standed there it
was just in front of me,
as the wind unpole the flag,
I can see the master of my house.
I can't, I tap.
- An inspiration my dear field Marshal .
- Tonight, I wish that
I had a different motto.
Caesar's motto, Veni, vidi vici.
- You came, you saw.
- But have I need tons concrete?
- I've been longing for
a breath of fresh air.
- May I have the honor for company?
- Yeah.
(gentle orchestral music)
- If I may be allowed to
say, so Your Highness,
a finely match there.
- Thank you.
- In Belgrade with me,
able to treat like a queen.
- A queen?
- Does that mean nothing to you?
- Oh, yeah.
So much will depend upon the king.
- Oh, I see.
I'm not romantic.
- Oh, have I said that?
- And you mean?
- I mean you give me a great
deal to think about it,
and I will take you back to my father.
(orchestral music)
Father I'm very tired if you don't mind,
could you like us to go home.
- As you said daughter, I'm heading up.
- Who was that man?
- You know me Jew, my

- I had, Your Highness.
- Are you one of their knees Oppenheimer?
- Only (indistinct).

of how to treat the (indistinct).
(laughs)

I must make sure that I

gain for small points.
- Small point.
It's you in danger of his
life, his small point.
And you could prevent it
with one word to your Duke.

build Synagogue, hospital,

If I deserved to Jewry and turn Christian,
how easy it would have been

many of the empire.
But I remained the Jew, I've never denied,
I am a Jew.
- Then show yourself heaven,
But no, no, no.
- I can't settle anything today,
I must think it all carefully.
It might not be a opportune.
- Opportune, to save a Jew
who is guilty of nothing,
but being a Jew.
Very well let's Errickman die.
He will not be the only one,
once they're let loose,
they will kill and torture all of us.
Except, Joseph Suss, who
sacrificed his race for his house,
for his lackeys, for his gold and braid.
(truckling sound)
- You-
- Is it true that you're willing
to let an innocent man die,
rather than risk your
own personal advancement.
- No, no it isn't true.
Surely, you understand.
- The child does not understand.
She has heard that one
word from you to the Duke,
can save this man's life.
You a beloved partner,
so great, so good, a pillar of Jewry.
- A pillar of Jewish, she said.
I will show her,
that my power has not
been striving for in vain.
I will do it now, (chuckle).
And then I go to the child.
- Before you see the child
go first to see your mother
in Frankfurt.
- Well.
- Your Highness has told me so many times,
that any favor I might like
to ask, would be granted.
May I remind Your Highness,
I have never availed myself
of your patients off,
but today, I have come to ask-
- Oh, no Suss, you've ruined everything.
I wanted it to be a surprise for you.
Look, letter to the emperor,
asking him to make you a noble.
In my own handwriting too.
I am overwhelmed, but this wasn't a favor,
I wish to ask Your Highness.
- Huh! Not enough,
what do you want?
- I want Zillickman.
- Zillickman! Who is Zillickman?
- Zilickman is innocent.
As Your Highness very well knows,
in the name of justice,
I ask Your Highness to
grant him his freedom.
- How dare you come me and plead,
for this crawling child murderer.
- He's no murderer, there's no evidence.
I must therefore repeat my
request for his freedom.
- You fool.
What will you get beside all this for?
Is that Zilickman after but all the Jews,
and you in particular.
- I realize there's a fool
(indistinct) of what you say.
But I still want Zilickman.
- Have you no gratitude
for all I've done for you.
How can you have the
front rates to stand down,
calmy ask me for this.
Once and for all Suss, keep out of this.
Don't be a fool.
I'll get your(indistinct)

Your future is assured.

Do you think you're indispensable to me,
that you insult me into my face.
Do you think because I need
you, my financial counselor.
- That appointment no longer stands.
- Huh.
- I ask you to accept my resignation.
I shall leave today.

Say something to them.
- Yeah.
- Thank you.

- Once again, thank you.
What more can a men hope for,
than to be able to hit these people.
But now I must ask you to, excuse me,

whereas an even greater
claim on me than you.
My mother, you'll not touch me,
if you hours is up, will you.

- The way they treat you.

He's only just arrived,
and the people want-
- He should be told now,

Why this air of mystery?

Zilickman, after I become
the greatest of all the Jews,
the only Jew who in spite of
being a Jew has more power,
than any noble man in Germany.

competence I have in you.
I'll appoint your finance director.
You also sign all you

and be answerable to no man.
Oh, good night Mr. Finance director.
- Good night.
- Your man, should show us out.
You must get back to your desk?
(truckling sound)
- Staple that.
Karl Alexander, you (indistinct) tech,
(indistinct) and tech declare
there should emergency taxes,
not be paid in full
immediately upon demand.
The strain shall be made
upon the goods and check ups,
the house holder in question,
up to the value of thrice the amount,
of the unpaid taxes.
(crowd chattering)
- All right, nothing is
stole from us illegally,
against the constitution,
which is our only protection.
(group shouting yes)
there's no emergency involve in there,
we are not surrounded by enemies.
We only have one enemy, who is he?
- He is the Duke.
- A Duke , yes.
The Duke sets his seal to the new taxes,
but does he get them?
- Inform the Duke that he is Jew.
(group chattering)
(laughing)
- Put a light to him.
(crowd laughing)
If we've bottom (indistinct),
are to hold up heads,
we must take a strong line.
(group chattering)
- Go on, continue your speech.
What is the stone line
you are going to take?
- Huh, I'm waiting-
- Pardon, excellencia.
I did not think I-
- You (indistinct), you
dare to insult your Duke,
and his ministers, back to your houses,
everyone of you.
And learn this lesson once and for all,
your fast duty under the
constitution is to respect,
and obey your Duke, get out.
(crowd shouting)
(floor pattering)
- You humble servant Your Highness.
May I repeat you Highness,
your humble servant.
- Suss you've got me into a pretty mess.
Why in hell's name have you
tighten the screw just lately.
Have you lost your cleverness?
For long you've turn the
whole country against me,
counselor, pausing around me like Hornets,
to get rid of you.
- If Your Highness has more confidence,
in the gentlemen of the council.
- What's it?
- I do not care to give my services,
where they're not wanted.
- How can you say that?
When I adjourned the council
without answering them,
how dare you stand there complaining,
when I stick by you in the
teeth of all ministers,
in the teeth of all my people.
- You stick by me Your Highness,
off course you know that
I alone can help you,
to be a king,
perhaps even an emperor.
The second, Alexander the great.
- Yes, but surely there
must be some way without
touching the constitution.
- Constitution,(laughs).
If it stands in your way, tear it up.
- You mean-
- Yes, take back the
right, which God gave you,
which has been stolen from you,
by the so-called constitution.
Being the realities is
the rule of your country.
Be (indistinct).
- How can it be done?
- The plan is here.
We spent next Tuesday night,
in your hunting lodge,
the Zoom age of your (indistinct)
household (indistinct),
it's a given allergenic
(indistinct) all the leaders,
of the constitutional party.
You will then disarm the militia,
occupy the parliament,
and on Wednesday morning,
King Karl Alexandra
will enter (indistinct).
Here is the list of people to be arrest.
- That's possible.
I have (indistinct) done.
(banging the table)
This all (indistinct).
- Yes, but it passed lord, maybe needed.
- Hmm.
I have it.
I own motto (indistinct), I die.
(laughing)
If only I could get
rid of this cousin Jew.
(laughing)
- What, this is too charming,
one of the more, since
your visit is so I accept-
- There no time for gallant speeches,
there's no need for them.
I brought you this.
- The list of arrests,
I gave His Highness.
How did you get it?
- His Highness paid me
the honor of visiting
this evening.
He was very triumphant and very drunk,
he drunk still more than
flourish that paper at me.
When I'd read it,
I arranged that he should
get to take it away.
- Diana Sturksman, Don Makobo, Earnes Flu,
Joseph Suss Oppenheimer.
(laughing)
Joseph Suss Oppenheimer, (laughs).
The old folks, the old reckless folks.
Did you bring this to me?
Because my name was on it.
- Yes.
- Why?
- Because, every day, since that time,
I've been listening to my
heart beating out three words.
I hate him, I hate him, I hate him.
And then suddenly tonight,
when I saw your name on that paper,
I realized those were not the words.
- No man, has ever been
more vital to a woman,
than I have been to you.
I deliberately destroyed,
what might have been,
in spite of all that, you
bring me this tonight.
And in return, I can
still give you nothing.
- But you will save yourself.
You won't let-
- You wouldn't need fear
for me nor for your father,
that at least I can promise you.
But I must still follow my stuff,
wherever it's leads me,
but follow it I must.
(crowd laughing)
- Gentlemen.
Gentlemen I give you a toast,
His Majesty Karl Alexander
first king of Wurttemberg.
(bell ringing)
- Your Majesty.
(group chattering)
- Why doesn't the courier come.
- Is the storm and the bad roads Highness,
he will be here in a minute now.
- (indistinct) is it the courier?
- No Highness, your medicine.
- Ah, give me the med.
Where's the winch.
- In your private cabinet Highness.
She's been there two hours.
- (indistinct) wait, (indistinct) she,
business before pleasure.
- Some more wine Your Highness.
- No, my doctors says.
Yes, to hell with the doctor.
He's (indistinct) alive,
weaker than (indistinct),
says like carry to much blood,
no, nonsense, Sturm give me some wine.
I can't taste the stuff (indistinct) news.
- There's nothing to worry about Highness,
the plan is fullproof.
- Off course it is, and
my Jew work it out for me.
(laughing)
That's a funny part, but he
should have worked it out,
but now he's ...
- It's the courier Your Highness.
- I'll see him, myself.
(truckling sound)
And you are not Minchen, has not-
- No, Highness.
General Minchen has not arrested me.
No one has been arrested tonight,
(indistinct) except General Minchen,
it was the people militia who
used the first one attempt,
is you of all your troops,
who help in disarm,
in short Highness, (indistinct) has fail.
- Did you?
Did you?
- Yes, Highness, I did.
(floor pattering)
- Neuffer, the doctor.
(shutting the door)
And the priests.
So, you would try and
escape me by dying with you,
but I won't let you die until
you have listened to me.
You killed my child,
and as I faced your casket dead body,
because I didn't spring at you,
and squeeze your (indistinct) throat.
You believed you had escaped my vengeance,
you ratchet (indistinct).
This has been my vengeance,
to a path to up and make
you dream of being the
King Caesar an emperor
and then to show you,
what you really are,
yes ups lamp of flesh.
I tell you (indistinct) to your self,
and the whole world.
And all the time, we
could have been friends.
Karl Alexander, if you, at
first, that he need the best,
instead of the worst.
There would have been no end,
to what we could have
done together,(chuckle).
You great prince and hero.
(laughs)
(floor pattering)
- The Duke is dead.
- And who will be king of Wuttemberg now?
A child in arms.
- The peoples party will retain
power, we should join them.
- Whatever we do,
we look like falling between two stools.
- Is a very devil, I say.
- You don't seem to see quite clearly,
what you should do and in
this unusual situation.
Arrest me, then you are safe,
whoever comes out on top.
- In the name of the Duchess
and of the constitution,
I arrest your Jew.
- I confess to having been a
loyal servant to my master.
I lead you the Head of the State,
according to the very constitution
to which you gentlemen,
are professing, such an ardent loyalty.
If that is treason, then gentlemen,
I am being tried by time.
- Stop quibbling, Jew.
You can't escape a ride to
hell in a gallows scott,
better save your time and
hours by giving us a good
respectable confession.
- You put it so charmingly,
that you almost tempt
me to confess to things,
I haven't done, after all,
you can't hang me higher than the gallows.
Can you?
- In law we have no case.
I warned you on this from the beginning.
You have no chance of me hanging
him on any of the charges.
- Oh yes, I have.
- The precedent that lord's
forgotten out of date.
It has not been in foster for 200 years.
- Still on the statute book,
and I can think of no man,
to whom it should be more
applicable than Suss.
Have you had carnal relations
with christian women?
- I had no idea,
that was facing the court of Morgans.
But if the court requires a complete list,
of all my transgressions,
since I arrived at manhood,
together with the ladies
names and their addresses,
I can only refuse.
- You've heard the prisoners
own admission, under article 47
of the penal court.
It is clearly laid down,
that a Jew who has relations
with a christian woman,
should suffer death.
- Gentlemen,
if you wish to condemn
me today on this score,
I admit you can do.
The entire holy home
and empire, will laugh,
but not at me.
- Please, Highness.
(clearing throat)
- My son-in-law Karl Alexander was a fool,
I always realized that, but you are not.
So, shall we say for my daughter's sake,
I have decided to help
you regain your freedom.
- Highness of my own free
will like change my palace
for this cell.
Obviously, then I must
have it good reasons
for such an exchange,
Your Highness mean and messy.
- Suss, don't be (indistinct) fool,
what you up to?
To die for (indistinct),to
(indistinct) after.
(indistinct) of nowadays
it's just not that,
I have arranged everything,
but it's just one very small
condition I have to make,
but it will cost you a
minimum of inconvenience,
merely that you become a Christian.
(laughs)
- Once before in my life Highness,
I must face to this problem.
I went for guidance to the only
person I thought could help
me, but that person was not there,
on that moment I knew my
problem, it ceased to exist.
To her I had always been a Jew,
therefore the Jewish shall remain.
Your Highness, need mercy.
(floor pattering)
(door open)
- But am I not the mother
of the reigning Duke?
- Certainly Your Highness.
But when the reigning
Duke has infinite arms,
the constitution lays down,
the country shall be governed by a region,
by the vote of the council.
I am appointed region during
your child's modality.
- Laws sounds very stupid and complicated.
I really don't understand it.
I wish the Jews here to advise me.
- That is quite impossible Highness,
the counselor are waiting your attendance,
to sign the process for these tests?
I've already had General Minchen.
- I'm (indistinct) sorry to hear that.
I never did care for that man,
compared with the Jew with positive vow.
You can't leave that there like that,
looks like a piece of string.
I don't want him here,
Why can't he work for me
as he did to my husband.
- That Highness, is quite impossible.
There'll be a revolution in
the country within 24 hours.
- Well, it's your affair not
mine you're the (indistinct).
No, (indistinct), you stuck
that pin right into my head,
all the same it's a nuisance without him.
I still miss the Jew.
He was such an amusing man,
and very loyal poor Karl.
(buzzing sound)
(crowd chattering)
(coughing)
- The first snow.
- Some wine Joseph, sweet
wine from Palestine.
- It will be piling up,
over (indistinct).
- This is always good
for next year, blooming.
(coughing)
- Yes, I remember how it
snowed when Leah died.
I had never seen a grave before,
I dreaded it.
I always imagined it as a cool, ugly gash,
of the greedy earth, like the snow,
had turns it into a listening,
white hollow, so soft,
so kindly, that all my fear
left me and I was at peace.
Then when I came home,
it wasn't little like
bundle the giant, Naomi.
(door opens)
- Bring along.
(floor pattering)
(group chattering)
(crowd shouting)
(truckling sound)
- No, we shall see if we
can't hang you with higher,
than the gallow.
(crowd shouting)
(truckling sound)
(crowd shouting)
- (indistinct)
(crowd shouting)
(crowd singing)
(orchestral music)
(speaking in foreign language)
