Mission: Impossible (1966–1973): Season 2, Episode 14 - Echo of Yesterday - full transcript
The team has to stop a German who is being groomed to be another Hitler. They decide to get his biggest backer, a German industrialist who knew Hitler to turn on him. And part of their plan is to get the industrialist to relive his wife's death at the hands of Hitler.
Man: GOOD MORNING, MR. PHELPS.
THE MAN YOU ARE LOOKING AT
IS COLONEL MARKUS VON FRANK,
WHO HAS LED THE RECENT
RESURGENCE OF THE NEO-NAZIS.
OTTO KELMANN,
HEAD OF THE LARGEST
MUNITIONS PLANT IN ALL EUROPE,
IS PREPARING TO TURN OVER
TO VON FRANK
COMPLETE CONTROL
OF HIS VAST INDUSTRIAL EMPIRE.
WITH SUCH A HUGE
FINANCIAL BASE,
THERE'S NO QUESTION
THAT VON FRANK COULD BECOME
A SECOND ADOLF HITLER,
FANATICALLY DEDICATED TO
THE OVERTHROW OF DEMOCRACY
WHEREVER IT EXISTS.
YOUR MISSION, JIM,
SHOULD YOU DECIDE TO ACCEPT IT,
IS TO STOP KELMANN
AND VON FRANK.
AS ALWAYS, SHOULD YOU
OR ANY OF YOUR I.M. FORCE
BE CAUGHT OR KILLED,
THE SECRETARY WILL DISAVOW
ANY KNOWLEDGE OF YOUR ACTIONS.
THIS RECORDING WILL
SELF-DESTRUCT IN FIVE SECONDS.
GOOD LUCK, JIM.
[ SIZZLING ]
Jim: OTTO KELMANN...
LAST SURVIVOR OF A DYNASTY
THAT SUPPLIED MUNITIONS
TO THREE GENERATIONS
OF WARMAKERS.
HE CERTAINLY
DOESN'T LOOK VICIOUS.
HE'S A QUIET,
CULTURED GENTLEMAN.
SHUNS PUBLICITY,
PREFERS SOLITUDE
TO THE COMPANY
OF MOST PEOPLE.
EVEN GOES TO THE PARK
JUST TO BE ALONE.
HE SOUNDS LIKE A MONK.
WELL, NOT QUITE.
THIS IS THE LATE
MRS. OTTO KELMANN.
SHE DIED IN 1932.
HE WAS VERY MUCH
IN LOVE WITH HER.
THEY HAD ONLY BEEN MARRIED
FOR THREE YEARS
WHEN SHE WAS MURDERED
BY NO LESS A MAN
THAN ADOLF HITLER.
WELL, IT WAS A QUICK
AND VERY QUIET INQUEST.
HERR KELMANN
LIED FOR HIS FUHRER,
AND THEY CALLED IT
SELF-DEFENSE.
SO WE'RE GOING TO TRY
TO REAWAKEN
SOME OLD MEMORIES
IN KELMANN.
YES.
NOW, YOU ALL CHECKED OUT
ON THE PHOTOGRAPHIC GEAR,
CINNAMON?
FROM TAKING THE PICTURES
TO MAKING ENLARGEMENTS.
WILLY?
I'VE GOT THE PROJECTOR,
FILM, AND UNIFORMS
ALL LINED UP.
MM-HMM. AND YOU'RE SET
ON THE PROPERTY WAREHOUSE?
A COUPLE OF MY THEATER FRIENDS
HAVE TAKEN CARE OF IT.
WHAT I'LL HAVE TO KNOW
WHAT THE ROOM LOOKED LIKE
AND WHERE THE PEOPLE
WERE PLACED.
WELL, CINNAMON
WILL GET THAT
OUT OF KELMANN'S
OLD RECORDS
AND PHOTOGRAPHS
ONCE SHE'S IN THE HOUSE.
WHICH BRINGS US
TO VON FRANK.
I JUST GOT
A REPORT ON HIM.
A TEAM OF PSYCHIATRISTS
WENT OVER
HIS MEDICAL HISTORY
FROM BEGINNING TO END,
AND THEY ALL AGREE.
THEY CALL HIM
A MARGINAL MANIC-DEPRESSIVE
AND A DEEPLY PSYCHOTIC
PARANOID.
IS THAT GOOD OR BAD?
FOR US, I MEAN.
A LITTLE OF BOTH.
IT'S GOING TO BE DIFFICULT
FOR ME TO GAIN
HIS CONFIDENCE,
BUT I THINK ONCE I DO,
HE'LL BE PREDICTABLE.
WELL, AT LEAST
HE'S EXPECTING YOU.
HIS LETTER SAID
HE WAS LOOKING FORWARD
TO A VISIT FROM A MEMBER
OF THE AMERICAN NAZI CORPS.
HEIL!
MAGNIFICENT.
ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT.
IN ONLY TWO ELECTIONS,
WE HAVE GAINED 15 SEATS.
HERR KELMANN,
THE PARTY IS ON THE MOVE.
THERE IS NO ONE WHO CAN
POSSIBLY STOP US NOW.
I HOPE YOU'RE RIGHT.
I AM. I KNOW I AM.
YOU HAVEN'T MET WITH THE PEOPLE
AS I HAVE, HERR KELMANN.
YOU DON'T QUITE KNOW
THEM AS I DO --
ESPECIALLY THE YOUNG ONES.
YOUNG PEOPLE ARE THINKING.
THEY NO LONGER
WANT TO BE LED.
THEY WANT TO LEAD.
THEY WANT TO TAKE.
WE MUST GIVE, TOO, REMEMBER.
WE MUST GIVE BACK
TO THE WORLD AGAIN
THE INSPIRATION,
THE LEADERSHIP, THE COURAGE
THAT IT'S OUR DUTY TO GIVE.
WHAT'S THE MATTER
WITH YOU?
I THOUGHT
WE WERE BEING FOLLOWED.
OH, YOU WORRY
ABOUT EVERYTHING.
SOMEWHERE,
SOMEONE IS ALWAYS ATTEMPTING
TO PLOT AGAINST MY LIFE.
UNFORTUNATELY, I CAN TRUST
NO ONE, HERR KELMANN.
EXCEPT, OF COURSE, YOU,
MY FRIEND.
YOU KNOW
I OWE YOU EVERYTHING.
ONE DAY, THE WORLD
SHALL KNOW
OF YOUR GENEROSITY.
BY THE WAY, HERR KELMANN,
YOU MADE THE FINAL
ARRANGEMENTS, AS YOU PROMISED?
I TELL YOU,
EVERYTHING IS TORN UP.
MY LAWYER MUST BE HERE
TO WITNESS WHAT I SIGN.
HE'LL BE BACK IN THE CITY
ON MONDAY.
GOOD. OH, MY OFFICE
IS RIGHT HERE.
STAY WITH HIM, AND DON'T
LET HIM OUT OF SIGHT
UNTIL THOSE PAPERS
ARE SIGNED.
I UNDERSTAND, COLONEL.
GOOD.
KARL, I FEEL LIKE
A BIT OF FRESH AIR.
THE USUAL PLACE, PLEASE.
MAJOR RICHARD DUNHILL,
AMERICAN NAZI CORPS,
AT YOUR SERVICE, SIR.
WELCOME, MAJOR.
I'VE BEEN EXPECTING YOU.
COLONEL VON FRANK.
IT HAS BEEN
A LONG, LONG TIME
SINCE I HAVE
LAST ENTERTAINED
ONE OF OUR
AMERICAN FRIENDS.
PLEASE, HAVE A SEAT.
THANK YOU.
YOU ARE MOST KIND, SIR.
BUT I DIDN'T COME HERE
JUST TO BE ENTERTAINED.
I'M HERE
ON A VERY SERIOUS MATTER.
OH? WHAT IS IT?
COLONEL, THE AMERICAN NAZI
MOVEMENT IS FLOUNDERING.
OUR MEMBERSHIP IS DOWN.
THE TREASURY IS DEPLETED.
WE HAVE NO STRENGTH,
NO POWER.
WE HAVE NO LEADER.
THAT IS WHY I HAVE COME
TO YOU PERSONALLY, SIR.
SO WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?
OUR PEOPLE
NEED INCENTIVE.
INCENTIVE, COLONEL,
AND ABOVE ALL, ORGANIZATION.
THEY MUST BE UNITED
BEHIND A MAN
WHO CAN INSPIRE THEM,
WHO CAN LEAD THEM.
I THINK I MIGHT BE
THAT MAN, SIR.
BUT I CANNOT POSSIBLY ACHIEVE IT
BY MYSELF.
I MUST HAVE THE ONE
GREAT ADVANTAGE
THAT NO AMERICAN NAZI
HAS EVER HAD BEFORE.
MY PEOPLE MUST KNOW THAT I AM
YOUR PERSONAL CHOICE,
THAT MY ORDERS
COME DIRECTLY FROM
COLONEL MARKUS VON FRANK
HIMSELF.
[ CAROUSEL MUSIC PLAYING ]
YOU SEE, MAJOR,
WHAT YOU'RE ASKING ME,
I CAN ONLY GIVE ONCE.
AND IT MUST BE
TO THE RIGHT MAN.
ARE YOU A MAN
OF COURAGE, MAJOR?
YES. I AM.
I MUST KNOW THAT,
YOU SEE.
YOU SEE, MAJOR, WE, HERE,
FOR THE PAST 500 YEARS,
HAVE BEEN ANSWERING
THE QUESTION OF COURAGE
THE SAME WAY.
WITH A BLADE.
HEINZ!
PLEASE ASSIST
THE GENTLEMAN.
SWORD, PLEASE.
REMOVE YOUR COAT
AND YOUR TIE,
AND ROLL UP
YOUR SLEEVE, MAJOR.
HEINZ WILL SUPERVISE.
PUT THIS ON, PLEASE.
COLONEL, I HAVEN'T
DONE THIS BEFORE, YOU KNOW.
IT DOESN'T REALLY
MATTER, MAJOR.
IT'S NOT A QUESTION
OF SKILL.
IT'S A QUESTION
OF STRENGTH AND COURAGE.
[ MUSIC CONTINUES ]
THANK YOU.
I'LL ONLY BE
ABOUT 10 MINUTES.
WAIT FOR ME, KARL.
YES, SIR.
YOU STAND FACING EACH OTHER,
ONE BLADE LENGTH
SEPARATING US.
LEFT HAND BEHIND YOUR BACK.
AT HEINZ'S FIRST COMMAND,
OUR BLADES WILL TOUCH
ABOVE OUR HEADS.
AT HIS SECOND COMMAND,
WE SHALL COMMENCE THE ATTACK.
IS THAT CLEAR?
YES.
YOUR BLADE, MAJOR.
THIS IS 20 THICKNESSES
OF SURGICAL GAUZE,
QUITE ENOUGH TO PROTECT
THE VITAL AREA.
NOW, MAJOR.
TO PARRY A HEAD-CUT,
YOU GOT LIKE THIS.
TO PARRY A CHEEK-CUT,
YOU GO LIKE THIS.
ARE YOU READY TO COMMENCE,
MAJOR?
YES.
NOW, MAJOR,
A MAN OF COURAGE DOES NOT
TAKE A BACKWARDS STEP,
NO MATTER WHAT.
WE SHALL COMMENCE AND HALT
AT HEINZ'S COMMAND.
UNLESS THERE'S
A SERIOUS WOUND,
WE SHALL DO IT FOUR TIMES.
ARE YOU READY?
OPEN UP!
LOFT!
HALT!
[ MUSIC CONTINUES ]
GOOD AFTERNOON.
[ With German accent ]
NO, DO NOT SIT DOWN.
WHY NOT?
FIND ANOTHER BENCH.
PLEASE, I HAVE BEEN WAITING
ALL AFTERNOON
FOR THIS LIGHT.
YOU MUST FIND
ANOTHER PLACE TO SIT.
BUT I USE THIS SEAT
VERY NEARLY EVERY AFTERNOON
AT THIS TIME.
I SUGGEST YOU TAKE YOUR
PHOTOGRAPHS SOMEWHERE ELSE.
NO, NO.
I WAS HERE FIRST.
AND BESIDES,
WHAT IS MORE IMPORTANT?
A NOBODY
SITTING ON THIS BENCH,
OR A BRILLIANT
PHOTOGRAPHIC STUDY?
A NOBODY? ME, EH?
AND YOU,
A GREAT GENIUS, I SUPPOSE.
OF COURSE.
NOW, PLEASE.
I HAVE WASTED
ENOUGH TIME TALKING.
I AM LOSING MY LIGHT.
PLEASE, WHY DON'T YOU
GO AND HAVE A DRINK
AND COME BACK IN AN HOUR.
WITHOUT DOUBT, YOU ARE
THE MOST RUDE YOUNG PERSON
I HAVE EVER MET
IN MY LIFE.
ALL RIGHT.
I WILL HAVE TO WORK
AROUND YOU.
HOCH, BITTE!
LOS!
HALT!
WOULD YOU TEND
TO HIS WOUND, PLEASE?
BRAVO, MAJOR.
VERY WELL DONE, INDEED.
THANK YOU.
YOU DIDN'T SPILL
A DROP, MAJOR.
PROSIT TO THE AMERICAN
NAZI CORPS.
TO OUR PARTY.
NOW, COLONEL.
DO I GET YOUR ENDORSEMENT?
WELL...WE'LL SEE.
IN THE MEANTIME,
WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU
WHILE YOU ARE HERE?
LET ME WORK WITH YOU.
I WANT TO LEARN
EVERYTHING I CAN.
ONE DAY,
I WANT TO BE KNOWN
AS THE VON FRANK
OF AMERICA.
I SUPPOSE YOU HAVE
AS MUCH RIGHT TO THIS BENCH
AS I DO, BUT YOU SEE,
I HAVE BEEN WAITING
FOR THREE HOURS
FOR THE SHADOWS.
IS PHOTOGRAPHY
VERY IMPORTANT TO YOU?
SHH!
THIS IS A STILL LIFE,
REMEMBER?
TELL ME, FRAULEIN,
DO YOU ALWAYS
WEAR YOUR HAIR THAT WAY?
WHY? YOU DON'T LIKE IT?
NO, IT'S VERY BECOMING,
BUT ISN'T IT JUST
A LITTLE OLD-FASHIONED
BY TODAY'S STANDARDS?
WELL, I LIKE IT.
AHH!
OH, WHAT HAPPENED?
OH, NOW LOOK
WHAT YOU HAVE DONE.
OH, I WILL HAVE TO GO HOME.
I WILL NOT GET MY PICTURE.
PLEASE, LET ME HELP YOU.
NO, YOU HAVE DONE ENOUGH.
OH, HOW AM I GOING TO
GET HOME THIS WAY?
DON'T WORRY ABOUT THAT.
I WILL DRIVE YOU HOME.
MY CAR IS
JUST OVER THERE. KARL!
THIS WON'T TAKE A MINUTE.
WILL THIS UNDO LIKE THAT?
JUST FOLD IT UP.
OH, YES. THAT'S RIGHT.
AH, KARL, TAKE THESE,
PLEASE, WILL YOU?
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
NOW GET IN.
LET ME HELP YOU.
LET ME TAKE THIS.
BUT, UH...
NO, YOU'LL BE
PERFECTLY SAFE.
BY THE WAY,
WHERE DO YOU LIVE?
22 LODENSTRASSE.
22 LODENSTRASSE, KARL.
DID YOU HEAR THAT?
BUT I DON'T EVEN KNOW
YOUR NAME.
I'M A NOBODY, REMEMBER?
WILLY, PUT THE SCREEN
OVER THERE.
RIGHT.
OKAY, SWITCH IT ON.
[ WHIRRING ]
CONGRATULATIONS,
FRAULEIN.
YOU CERTAINLY HAVE
A TALENT FOR PHOTOGRAPHY.
I WILL BELIEVE THAT WHEN
I BEGIN TO SELL MY WORK.
OH, YOU MUST GIVE YOURSELF
TIME, YOU KNOW.
TIME? I HAVE BEEN
STUDYING HERE AT THE ACADEMY
OVER A YEAR ALREADY.
I DON'T KNOW HOW IT WAS
WHEN YOU WERE YOUNG...
BUT I OCCASIONALLY
LIKE TO EAT.
OH, I DON'T THINK
THINGS HAVE CHANGED MUCH
SINCE MY DAY.
DO YOU KNOW THAT WHEN I
FIRST MET MY LATE WIFE,
SHE WAS A STUDENT
OF PHOTOGRAPHY.
SHE WAS?
YEAH.
I WOULD LIKE
TO ASK YOU SOMETHING.
DID SHE EVER
THINK ABOUT GIVING IT UP
AND PURSUING
ANOTHER LINE OF WORK?
GIVING IT UP? OH!
NOW I COME TO THINK OF IT,
SHE ONCE VERY SERIOUSLY
THOUGHT OF BEING A SALESGIRL.
YOU ARE MAKING A JOKE.
NO.
THAT IS INCREDIBLE.
WHY, ONLY THIS MORNING,
I WAS LOOKING UP JOBS.
LOOK.
LOOK AT THE ONLY ONE
WHICH I CHECKED OFF.
OOH! SALESGIRLS,
KREIGER DEPARTMENT STORE.
WHAT A COINCI--
WELL, IF YOU EXCUSE ME,
I THINK I MUST BE GOING.
YOU KNOW, YOU YOUNG PEOPLE
ALWAYS HAVE SO MUCH TO DO.
NO, PLEASE STAY. PLEASE.
I OWE YOU AN APOLOGY.
MY BEHAVIOR IN THE PARK
THIS AFTERNOON -- IT WAS RUDE.
IT WAS ATROCIOUS.
OH, NO. IT'S WHAT THEY CALL
THE ARTISTIC TEMPERAMENT.
YOU OWE ME NOTHING.
OH, BUT I DO.
I HAVE A CONFESSION TO MAKE.
SINCE YOU ARE HERE,
I RECOGNIZE YOU.
I ALWAYS THOUGHT
THAT PEOPLE SO FAMOUS
WERE COLD AND HARD
AND DIFFICULT TO TALK TO,
BUT INSTEAD, I FIND
YOU ARE EASY TO TALK TO.
THANK YOU.
WHAT I AM TRYING TO SAY
IS THAT --
[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]
[ RINGS ]
[ RINGS ]
EXCUSE ME.
[ RINGS ]
[ RINGS ]
HELLO? HELLO?
OH, IT'S YOU.
I ASKED YOU
NOT TO CALL HERE AGAIN.
NO, I CAN'T.
NO, I CAN'T TALK.
ERIK, I WARNED YOU
YOU WOULD BE IN TROUBLE.
NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT. NO.
I WON'T BE HERE.
I AM GOING OUT RIGHT NOW.
DO YOU HEAR ME, ERIK?
PLEASE.
LEAVE ME OUT OF THIS.
IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG,
FRAULEIN?
NO.
I AM AFRAID YOU MUST GO.
FRAULEIN, WHAT IS IT?
I WOULD RATHER NOT
DISCUSS IT.
IS THERE ANYTHING
I CAN DO TO HELP YOU?
NO.
PLEASE, GO.
[ SIGHS ]
[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]
[ RINGS ]
[ RINGS ]
[ RINGS ]
YOU ARE COMING WITH ME.
[ RINGS ]
OH...OH, YES. ALL RIGHT.
MAYBE IT IS BETTER.
HE MUST NOT
FIND ME HERE ALONE.
I WILL BE NO BOTHER.
YOU WILL DROP ME
AT THE NEAREST RESTAURANT.
WOULD YOU DO THAT FOR ME?
OH, I WILL DO
MORE THAN THAT.
YOU WILL HAVE DINNER
AT MY HOUSE WITH ME.
WE WILL DISCUSS
YOUR FUTURE.
DO YOU KNOW,
I HAVE BEEN ASKED
TO WRITE
A BOOK ABOUT MYSELF?
PICTURES WILL BE NEEDED.
YOU ARE OFFERING ME A JOB?
OF COURSE!
WAIT!
I WILL NEED MY CAMERAS.
[ TELEPHONE RINGING ]
COME ALONG.
[ RINGS ]
[ Rings ]
DID YOU ENJOY YOUR DINNER?
I HAD FORGOTTEN
FOOD LIKE THIS EXISTS.
[ LAUGHING ]
NOW, THEN.
TELL ME ABOUT
THAT YOUNG FRIEND OF YOURS.
THE ONE WHO TELEPHONED
AND FRIGHTENED YOU SO MUCH.
THERE IS NOT MUCH TO TELL.
HE IS A STUDENT.
A FEW MONTHS AGO,
HE MADE SOME SPEECHES
AT THE ACADEMY
AND WROTE SOME ARTICLES
ABOUT THE NEO-NAZIS.
FOR THEM OR AGAINST THEM?
AGAINST THEM, OF COURSE.
YOU KNOW,
SOMETIMES I WONDER
WHETHER YOU YOUNG PEOPLE
TAKE THE TROUBLE
TO SEPARATE
THE PRINCIPLES OF NAZISM
FROM THOSE MADMEN WHO,
IN ITS NAME,
MURDERED MILLIONS
OF INNOCENT PEOPLE
AND ALMOST DESTROYED
OUR COUNTRY.
BUT THEN, IF THESE MEN
ARE SO DIFFERENT,
WHY, THEN, IS MY FRIEND'S
LIFE IN DANGER?
OH, I DON'T THINK IT IS.
LIKE MOST YOUNG MEN,
HE PROBABLY HAS
A VIVID IMAGINATION,
BUT I DON'T THINK
HE IS IN REAL DANGER.
YOU KNOW, THE NAZIS
OF TODAY ARE NO LONGER --
NO LONGER GANGSTERS
AND PSYCHOPATHS.
THEY ARE DEDICATED MEN,
BELIEVE ME.
PERHAPS YOU ARE RIGHT.
SOMEHOW, JUST THE MENTION
OF THE WORD "NAZI"
MAKES MY BLOOD RUN COLD.
HEIL!
HEIL!
HEIL!
[ HITLER SPEAKING GERMAN ]
SIEG HEIL!
Cinnamon:
WHAT A NICE PORTRAIT.
Kelmann: MY WIFE.
SHE'S LOVELY.
SHE MUST HAVE MADE YOU
VERY HAPPY.
WELL, IT HAS BEEN
AN EVENING
I SHAN'T SOON FORGET.
THANK YOU.
BUT I REALLY MUST BE
STARTING FOR HOME.
OH, NONSENSE. YOU ARE
STAYING HERE TONIGHT.
OH, BUT I --
YES, I'M A LITTLE BIT
WORRIED ABOUT YOU.
I THINK
IT WOULD BE WISER
FOR YOU
TO STAY HERE TONIGHT.
THANK YOU, HERR KELMANN.
WITH THE NUMBER OF SEATS
THAT WE NOW HOLD,
WE REPRESENT ABOUT 6%
OF THE CONTROLLING FACTOR.
[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]
EXCUSE ME.
HAVE A SEAT, MAJOR.
THANK YOU.
[ RINGS ]
YEAH, HELLO?
IT'S KARL.
I HAVE SOMETHING TO REPORT.
WHAT IS IT?
HERR KELMANN HAS MET A GIRL.
GIRL? WHO IS SHE?
I DON'T KNOW. HE MET HER
AT THE PARK TODAY.
YOU THINK
SHE MAY MEAN TROUBLE?
HE SEEMS TO LIKE HER.
SHE'S SPENDING THE NIGHT.
I'LL BE THERE
TOMORROW MORNING.
SO...
[ SPEAKING GERMAN ]
HE WAS QUITE A HAM.
ROLL THAT PIECE
BACK AGAIN.
[ REWINDING ]
RIGHT THERE.
[ HITLER SPEAKING GERMAN ]

[ SHUTTER CLICKS ]
[ SHUTTER CLICKS ]
[ SHUTTER CLICKS ]
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE,
FRAULEIN?
I ASKED YOU, FRAULEIN,
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
FRAULEIN, YOU REALLY MUST
TRY AND EXPLAIN TO ME
WHAT YOU ARE DOING
DOWN HERE.
I WAS TAKING PICTURES.
YOU SEE, I COULDN'T SLEEP.
I WAS...
WORRIED ABOUT WHAT
HAPPENED BEFORE,
AND AT THE SAME TIME,
EXCITED ABOUT THIS OPPORTUNITY
YOU HAVE GIVEN ME.
I LAY THERE THINKING,
AND PRETTY SOON,
PICTURE AFTER PICTURE
WAS COMING INTO MY HEAD,
AND THEN THERE WAS
NOTHING TO DO
EXCEPT COME DOWN HERE
AND TAKE THOSE PICTURES.
THAT'S ALL
THERE WAS TO IT.
YOU WERE TAKING PICTURES
IN THE DARK?
NO. I WAS TAKING
FLASH PICTURES.
I'M SORRY.
I DON'T QUITE UNDERSTAND.
I WAS TAKING PICTURES
OF THAT BUST.
YOU SEE,
IT WAS AN EXPERIMENT.
WHAT I WANTED
WAS FOR THE HEAD
TO BE SCULPTURED
WITH LIGHT,
FOR THERE BE TWO SHADOWS
ON THE FACE,
AND THE BACKGROUND
TO BE TOTALLY BLACK.
I GUESS
IT WAS FOOLISH OF ME.
YOU CAN GO
BACK TO BED, KARL.
BUT HERR KELMANN --
I SAID
YOU COULD GO, KARL.
I SUGGEST WE ALL
GO BACK TO OUR BEDS
AND FORGET ALL ABOUT THIS.
BUT PERHAPS IT WOULD BE
WISER, IN THE FUTURE,
IF YOU WOULD CONFINE
YOUR PICTURE-TAKING
TO THE DAYLIGHT HOURS.
HERR KELMANN LIVES WELL.
HE IS A VERY RICH MAN,
MAJOR.
VERY RICH.
GOOD MORNING.
GOOD MORNING, SIR.
KARL, WOULD YOU BE SO KIND
AS TO ANNOUNCE MYSELF
AND MAJOR RICHARD DUNHILL
FROM AMERICA, PLEASE.
YES, SIR. SIR, MAY I
SPEAK TO YOU A MOMENT?
YES. EXCUSE ME, MAJOR.
WHAT IS IT?
I CAUGHT THE GIRL LAST NIGHT
TAKING PICTURES.
THANK YOU.
Kelmann: COME IN!
[ SHUTTER CLICKS ]
WHAT IS IT, KARL?
COLONEL VON FRANK
TO SEE YOU, SIR.
HE'S WITH AN ASSOCIATE --
AN AMERICAN.
OH.
NO, NO, NO.
PLEASE, LET
WHOEVER IT IS WAIT.
THE MORNING LIGHT
IS TOO PERFECT TO LOSE.
VERY WELL.
KARL, I'LL ONLY BE
A MOMENT OR TWO.
COME WITH ME, MAJOR.
TERRIBLY SORRY TO INTERRUPT
SUCH AN IMPORTANT CONFERENCE.
NO, IT'S ALMOST OVER.
LET ME INTRODUCE
FRAULEIN LISTER.
OTTO, THIS IS
MAJOR RICHARD DUNHILL
FROM THE AMERICAN
NAZI CORPS.
A GREAT HONOR, SIR.
THANK YOU, MAJOR.
WHAT IS THIS?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
IT IS MY JOB.
DON'T LOOK SO SERIOUS.
GIVE ME THAT CAMERA.
NO, PLEASE.
PLEASE, COLONEL.
I WANT THAT CAMERA!
YOU HAVEN'T GIVEN ME
A CHANCE TO EXPLAIN.
I WANT THAT FILM!
GIVE ME THAT FILM!
LEAVE IT TO ME.
GIVE ME THE CAMERA.
OTTO, HOW CAN YOU
POSSIBLY ALLOW THIS?
COME, LET'S HAVE A SEAT.
PLEASE, PLEASE.
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
LOOK OUT FOR KARL.
HE'S VON FRANK'S MAN.
IS THIS EVERYTHING?
MM-HMM.
OTTO, WHO IS SHE?
GET RID OF HER!
WE CANNOT AFFORD
THESE MISTAKES.
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO SHE IS.
DON'T GET SO EXCITED.
WHAT IF MY ENEMIES FOUND OUT
ABOUT OUR CONNECTION?
THESE PICTURES
COULD RUIN US.
I PROMISE, I'LL MAKE SURE
SHE SAYS NOTHING.
TWO OF THESE TABLETS
WILL PUT HIM UNDER.
HYPODERMIC IS THE ANTIDOTE.
IF VON FRANK
ASKS FOR FILM...
GIVE HIM THIS.
WELL, GOODBYE,
HERR KELMANN.
VERY GREAT PLEASURE,
MAJOR.
I SHALL SEE YOU
ON MONDAY.
MONDAY? FINE, FINE.
VERY GOOD.
Cinnamon: NO, NO, PLEASE
STAY RIGHT THERE.
THAT WILL MAKE
A LOVELY PICTURE.
YES, LET'S SEE.
AGAINST THE SKY, LIKE THAT.
HERE?
YES.
WHAT'S THE MATTER?
THAT'S NICE.
SOMETHING'S BAD HERE.
SOMETHING IS VERY WRONG.
THAT GIRL --
I-I DON'T KNOW.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
SOMEHOW, I FEEL
SHE'S AN ENEMY...YOUR ENEMY.
ONE UP AT THE HOUSE?
HERE? OH, YES.
YES. THAT'S IT.
THAT'S GOOD.
RIGHT HERE.
STAY RIGHT HERE.
THAT'S GOOD, VERY GOOD.
THAT'S ENOUGH?
Rollin: THE ROOM IS
ALMOST PHYSICALLY THE SAME,
EXCEPT FOR THE FURNITURE.
Willy: THIS PICTURE SHOWS
THE EXACT PLACEMENT
OF ALL THE FURNITURE.
AND THIS IS
THE SOUTH WALL.
I THINK THE BIG PROBLEM
IS GOING TO BE THE WALL
HE'S KNOCKED OUT AND
REPLACED WITH THE WINDOWS.
THE REST OF THE STUFF
WE CAN FIND
PRETTY MUCH
IN THE STOCK HERE.
DON, SEE IF YOU CAN FIND
A TABLE THAT LOOKS LIKE THAT.
THANK YOU, KARL.
CREAM AND SUGAR?
NO CREAM. JUST
A LITTLE SUGAR, PLEASE.
THANK YOU.
I CANNOT WAIT TO DEVELOP
THE PICTURES I TOOK TODAY.
I THINK
YOU WILL FIND THEM EXCITING.
I'M SURE I SHALL.
OH, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
AH, GOOD. JUST RIGHT.
Von Frank: YES. YES.
SHE'S STAYING WITH KELMANN.
TRUE. YEAH. YEAH.
EXCELLENT.
THAT WOULD BE
A VERY GREAT FAVOR, INDEED.
YES.
OH...IF YOU FIND OUT
ANYTHING, ANYTHING AT ALL,
WOULD YOU BE SO KIND
AS TO INFORM ME IMMEDIATELY?
[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]
GOOD.
THANK YOU. GOODBYE.
I LOCATED
THE GIRL'S LANDLADY.
AND?
SHE RENTED THE APARTMENT
ONE WEEK AGO.
HE LIED TO ME!
KELMANN LIED TO ME!
HE TOLD ME THAT GIRL
HAD BEEN AT THE ACADEMY,
STUDYING THERE
FOR NEARLY ONE YEAR.
THAT'S WHAT SHE TOLD HIM.
SHE LIED TO HIM.
I WANT TO KNOW
EVERYTHING ABOUT THE GIRL.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
EVERYTHING!
YES, SIR.
AND NO LATER THAN TONIGHT,
DO YOU UNDERSTAND?!
YES, SIR!
FROM THE MATERIAL
YOU HAVE LET ME SEE
ABOUT YOUR BIOGRAPHY,
I THINK THAT THE PICTURES
WE HAVE DONE
ARE GOING TO WORK --
[ BANGS ON DOOR ]
HE SEEMS COMPLETELY OUT.
YEAH, HE IS. THAT'S THE WAY
THE DRUG WORKS.
IN ABOUT 10 MINUTES,
HE'LL COME AROUND
TO A KIND OF TWILIGHT SLEEP.
HE'LL STAY THAT WAY TILL
WE GIVE HIM THE ANTIDOTE.
ANYTHING?
NOTHING YET AT ALL.
WE'VE GOT TO KEEP LOOKING.
I KNOW I'M RIGHT
ABOUT THAT GIRL.
[ DOOR OPENS ]
[ SIGHS ]
OTTO!
FORGIVE THIS INTRUSION.
THERE IS A MATTER
OF GRAVE URGENCY.
WE HAVE DISCOVERED
YOUR WIFE IS A TRAITOR.
SHE HAS BEEN WORKING
AGAINST US.
SHE IS STILL A MEMBER
OF THE SOCIAL DEMOCRAT PARTY.
SHE HAS CONTRIBUTED FUNDS
AND WRITTEN ARTICLES
AGAINST US.
DO YOU DENY THIS,
FRAU KELMANN?
I DO NOT.
DO YOU DENY CALLING ME
A BEAST AND A MADMAN?!
DO YOU?!
HOW CAN YOU DENY THE TRUTH?
YOU ARE A SICK
AND VIOLENT MAN.
YOU DEGRADE
EVERYTHING THAT IS HUMAN.
YOU DISGUST ME.
COLONEL! YOUR PISTOL!
HERR --
ARE YOU
PLOTTING AGAINST ME?
YOU ARE, ARE YOU NOT?
YES. I HOPE YOU NEVER --
[ GUNSHOT ]
[ GASPS ]
OTTO...PUT DOWN THAT GUN.
SHE WAS WRONG.
YOU KNOW THAT.
THE FUTURE AND STRENGTH
OF THIS COUNTRY
RESTS IN THESE HANDS.
DO NOT PUT
AN END TO IT NOW.
OTTO...I NEED YOU.
OH, MY FUHRER...
OH...STRONG MAN...
MY FUHRER.
DON, AS SOON AS YOU
GET THE VAN LOADED,
MOVE IT OUT.
WE'VE GOT TO BE OUT OF HERE
WITH EVERYTHING
BACK TO NORMAL IN 10 MINUTES.
COLONEL!
I FOUND SOMETHING.
EUROPA AIRLINES.
FROM LONDON.
DATED A WEEK AGO.
SO SHE HAS BEEN HERE
ONLY FOR ONE WEEK.
WE MUST GET TO KELMANN'S
HOUSE IMMEDIATELY.
COME ON.
[ SIGHS ]
[ DOOR OPENS ]
FORGIVE
THE INTRUSION, OTTO.
WHAT IS IT, COLONEL?
THIS GIRL IS A SPY.
SHE WAS SENT HERE
TO UNCOVER
OUR RELATIONSHIP, OTTO.
TO DESTROY ME.
I CAN'T SIT HERE
AND LISTEN TO SUCH NONSENSE.
I HAVE PROOF, OTTO.
SHE CLAIMS TO BE A STUDENT,
WHERE SHE'S NOT.
SHE SAYS SHE HAS BEEN HERE
FOR ONE YEAR,
WHERE IN FACT SHE HAS
ONLY BEEN HERE FOR ONE WEEK.
FRAULEIN, IS THIS TRUE?
YES, IT IS.
BECAUSE I DESPISE HIM,
AND ALL THE NAZIS
THAT SURROUND HIM.
HE IS INSANE,
AND HIS INSANITY
WILL DESTROY US.
HE MUST BE STOPPED.
YOU WILL NOT STOP ME,
FRAULEIN.
YOU CANNOT STOP ME.
I CAN AND I WILL.
I HAVE LEARNED ENOUGH HERE
TO DESTROY YOU.
THERE'S A PLOT AGAINST ME,
ISN'T THERE, FRAULEIN?
ISN'T THERE?!
YES. YES, THERE IS.
YOU CANNOT STOP ME NOW.
YOU ARE FINISHED.
[ GUNSHOT ]
VON FRANK...
I HAD TO DO IT, OTTO.
SHE WOULD HAVE
DESTROYED ME.
SHE WOULD HAVE
DESTROYED US.
SHE WAS WRONG, OTTO!
OUR COUNTRY
NEEDS NEW LEADERSHIP.
IT NEEDS
A STRONG LEADER, OTTO.
MY GOD, NO!
I'LL CALL THE POLICE.
[ ROTARY PHONE CLICKING ]
PUT ME THROUGH
TO THE POLICE, PLEASE.
YES.
HERR OTTO KELMANN
SPEAKING.
THERE'S BEEN A SHOOTING.
YES, I'LL BE HERE.
THE MAN YOU ARE LOOKING AT
IS COLONEL MARKUS VON FRANK,
WHO HAS LED THE RECENT
RESURGENCE OF THE NEO-NAZIS.
OTTO KELMANN,
HEAD OF THE LARGEST
MUNITIONS PLANT IN ALL EUROPE,
IS PREPARING TO TURN OVER
TO VON FRANK
COMPLETE CONTROL
OF HIS VAST INDUSTRIAL EMPIRE.
WITH SUCH A HUGE
FINANCIAL BASE,
THERE'S NO QUESTION
THAT VON FRANK COULD BECOME
A SECOND ADOLF HITLER,
FANATICALLY DEDICATED TO
THE OVERTHROW OF DEMOCRACY
WHEREVER IT EXISTS.
YOUR MISSION, JIM,
SHOULD YOU DECIDE TO ACCEPT IT,
IS TO STOP KELMANN
AND VON FRANK.
AS ALWAYS, SHOULD YOU
OR ANY OF YOUR I.M. FORCE
BE CAUGHT OR KILLED,
THE SECRETARY WILL DISAVOW
ANY KNOWLEDGE OF YOUR ACTIONS.
THIS RECORDING WILL
SELF-DESTRUCT IN FIVE SECONDS.
GOOD LUCK, JIM.
[ SIZZLING ]
Jim: OTTO KELMANN...
LAST SURVIVOR OF A DYNASTY
THAT SUPPLIED MUNITIONS
TO THREE GENERATIONS
OF WARMAKERS.
HE CERTAINLY
DOESN'T LOOK VICIOUS.
HE'S A QUIET,
CULTURED GENTLEMAN.
SHUNS PUBLICITY,
PREFERS SOLITUDE
TO THE COMPANY
OF MOST PEOPLE.
EVEN GOES TO THE PARK
JUST TO BE ALONE.
HE SOUNDS LIKE A MONK.
WELL, NOT QUITE.
THIS IS THE LATE
MRS. OTTO KELMANN.
SHE DIED IN 1932.
HE WAS VERY MUCH
IN LOVE WITH HER.
THEY HAD ONLY BEEN MARRIED
FOR THREE YEARS
WHEN SHE WAS MURDERED
BY NO LESS A MAN
THAN ADOLF HITLER.
WELL, IT WAS A QUICK
AND VERY QUIET INQUEST.
HERR KELMANN
LIED FOR HIS FUHRER,
AND THEY CALLED IT
SELF-DEFENSE.
SO WE'RE GOING TO TRY
TO REAWAKEN
SOME OLD MEMORIES
IN KELMANN.
YES.
NOW, YOU ALL CHECKED OUT
ON THE PHOTOGRAPHIC GEAR,
CINNAMON?
FROM TAKING THE PICTURES
TO MAKING ENLARGEMENTS.
WILLY?
I'VE GOT THE PROJECTOR,
FILM, AND UNIFORMS
ALL LINED UP.
MM-HMM. AND YOU'RE SET
ON THE PROPERTY WAREHOUSE?
A COUPLE OF MY THEATER FRIENDS
HAVE TAKEN CARE OF IT.
WHAT I'LL HAVE TO KNOW
WHAT THE ROOM LOOKED LIKE
AND WHERE THE PEOPLE
WERE PLACED.
WELL, CINNAMON
WILL GET THAT
OUT OF KELMANN'S
OLD RECORDS
AND PHOTOGRAPHS
ONCE SHE'S IN THE HOUSE.
WHICH BRINGS US
TO VON FRANK.
I JUST GOT
A REPORT ON HIM.
A TEAM OF PSYCHIATRISTS
WENT OVER
HIS MEDICAL HISTORY
FROM BEGINNING TO END,
AND THEY ALL AGREE.
THEY CALL HIM
A MARGINAL MANIC-DEPRESSIVE
AND A DEEPLY PSYCHOTIC
PARANOID.
IS THAT GOOD OR BAD?
FOR US, I MEAN.
A LITTLE OF BOTH.
IT'S GOING TO BE DIFFICULT
FOR ME TO GAIN
HIS CONFIDENCE,
BUT I THINK ONCE I DO,
HE'LL BE PREDICTABLE.
WELL, AT LEAST
HE'S EXPECTING YOU.
HIS LETTER SAID
HE WAS LOOKING FORWARD
TO A VISIT FROM A MEMBER
OF THE AMERICAN NAZI CORPS.
HEIL!
MAGNIFICENT.
ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT.
IN ONLY TWO ELECTIONS,
WE HAVE GAINED 15 SEATS.
HERR KELMANN,
THE PARTY IS ON THE MOVE.
THERE IS NO ONE WHO CAN
POSSIBLY STOP US NOW.
I HOPE YOU'RE RIGHT.
I AM. I KNOW I AM.
YOU HAVEN'T MET WITH THE PEOPLE
AS I HAVE, HERR KELMANN.
YOU DON'T QUITE KNOW
THEM AS I DO --
ESPECIALLY THE YOUNG ONES.
YOUNG PEOPLE ARE THINKING.
THEY NO LONGER
WANT TO BE LED.
THEY WANT TO LEAD.
THEY WANT TO TAKE.
WE MUST GIVE, TOO, REMEMBER.
WE MUST GIVE BACK
TO THE WORLD AGAIN
THE INSPIRATION,
THE LEADERSHIP, THE COURAGE
THAT IT'S OUR DUTY TO GIVE.
WHAT'S THE MATTER
WITH YOU?
I THOUGHT
WE WERE BEING FOLLOWED.
OH, YOU WORRY
ABOUT EVERYTHING.
SOMEWHERE,
SOMEONE IS ALWAYS ATTEMPTING
TO PLOT AGAINST MY LIFE.
UNFORTUNATELY, I CAN TRUST
NO ONE, HERR KELMANN.
EXCEPT, OF COURSE, YOU,
MY FRIEND.
YOU KNOW
I OWE YOU EVERYTHING.
ONE DAY, THE WORLD
SHALL KNOW
OF YOUR GENEROSITY.
BY THE WAY, HERR KELMANN,
YOU MADE THE FINAL
ARRANGEMENTS, AS YOU PROMISED?
I TELL YOU,
EVERYTHING IS TORN UP.
MY LAWYER MUST BE HERE
TO WITNESS WHAT I SIGN.
HE'LL BE BACK IN THE CITY
ON MONDAY.
GOOD. OH, MY OFFICE
IS RIGHT HERE.
STAY WITH HIM, AND DON'T
LET HIM OUT OF SIGHT
UNTIL THOSE PAPERS
ARE SIGNED.
I UNDERSTAND, COLONEL.
GOOD.
KARL, I FEEL LIKE
A BIT OF FRESH AIR.
THE USUAL PLACE, PLEASE.
MAJOR RICHARD DUNHILL,
AMERICAN NAZI CORPS,
AT YOUR SERVICE, SIR.
WELCOME, MAJOR.
I'VE BEEN EXPECTING YOU.
COLONEL VON FRANK.
IT HAS BEEN
A LONG, LONG TIME
SINCE I HAVE
LAST ENTERTAINED
ONE OF OUR
AMERICAN FRIENDS.
PLEASE, HAVE A SEAT.
THANK YOU.
YOU ARE MOST KIND, SIR.
BUT I DIDN'T COME HERE
JUST TO BE ENTERTAINED.
I'M HERE
ON A VERY SERIOUS MATTER.
OH? WHAT IS IT?
COLONEL, THE AMERICAN NAZI
MOVEMENT IS FLOUNDERING.
OUR MEMBERSHIP IS DOWN.
THE TREASURY IS DEPLETED.
WE HAVE NO STRENGTH,
NO POWER.
WE HAVE NO LEADER.
THAT IS WHY I HAVE COME
TO YOU PERSONALLY, SIR.
SO WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?
OUR PEOPLE
NEED INCENTIVE.
INCENTIVE, COLONEL,
AND ABOVE ALL, ORGANIZATION.
THEY MUST BE UNITED
BEHIND A MAN
WHO CAN INSPIRE THEM,
WHO CAN LEAD THEM.
I THINK I MIGHT BE
THAT MAN, SIR.
BUT I CANNOT POSSIBLY ACHIEVE IT
BY MYSELF.
I MUST HAVE THE ONE
GREAT ADVANTAGE
THAT NO AMERICAN NAZI
HAS EVER HAD BEFORE.
MY PEOPLE MUST KNOW THAT I AM
YOUR PERSONAL CHOICE,
THAT MY ORDERS
COME DIRECTLY FROM
COLONEL MARKUS VON FRANK
HIMSELF.
[ CAROUSEL MUSIC PLAYING ]
YOU SEE, MAJOR,
WHAT YOU'RE ASKING ME,
I CAN ONLY GIVE ONCE.
AND IT MUST BE
TO THE RIGHT MAN.
ARE YOU A MAN
OF COURAGE, MAJOR?
YES. I AM.
I MUST KNOW THAT,
YOU SEE.
YOU SEE, MAJOR, WE, HERE,
FOR THE PAST 500 YEARS,
HAVE BEEN ANSWERING
THE QUESTION OF COURAGE
THE SAME WAY.
WITH A BLADE.
HEINZ!
PLEASE ASSIST
THE GENTLEMAN.
SWORD, PLEASE.
REMOVE YOUR COAT
AND YOUR TIE,
AND ROLL UP
YOUR SLEEVE, MAJOR.
HEINZ WILL SUPERVISE.
PUT THIS ON, PLEASE.
COLONEL, I HAVEN'T
DONE THIS BEFORE, YOU KNOW.
IT DOESN'T REALLY
MATTER, MAJOR.
IT'S NOT A QUESTION
OF SKILL.
IT'S A QUESTION
OF STRENGTH AND COURAGE.
[ MUSIC CONTINUES ]
THANK YOU.
I'LL ONLY BE
ABOUT 10 MINUTES.
WAIT FOR ME, KARL.
YES, SIR.
YOU STAND FACING EACH OTHER,
ONE BLADE LENGTH
SEPARATING US.
LEFT HAND BEHIND YOUR BACK.
AT HEINZ'S FIRST COMMAND,
OUR BLADES WILL TOUCH
ABOVE OUR HEADS.
AT HIS SECOND COMMAND,
WE SHALL COMMENCE THE ATTACK.
IS THAT CLEAR?
YES.
YOUR BLADE, MAJOR.
THIS IS 20 THICKNESSES
OF SURGICAL GAUZE,
QUITE ENOUGH TO PROTECT
THE VITAL AREA.
NOW, MAJOR.
TO PARRY A HEAD-CUT,
YOU GOT LIKE THIS.
TO PARRY A CHEEK-CUT,
YOU GO LIKE THIS.
ARE YOU READY TO COMMENCE,
MAJOR?
YES.
NOW, MAJOR,
A MAN OF COURAGE DOES NOT
TAKE A BACKWARDS STEP,
NO MATTER WHAT.
WE SHALL COMMENCE AND HALT
AT HEINZ'S COMMAND.
UNLESS THERE'S
A SERIOUS WOUND,
WE SHALL DO IT FOUR TIMES.
ARE YOU READY?
OPEN UP!
LOFT!
HALT!
[ MUSIC CONTINUES ]
GOOD AFTERNOON.
[ With German accent ]
NO, DO NOT SIT DOWN.
WHY NOT?
FIND ANOTHER BENCH.
PLEASE, I HAVE BEEN WAITING
ALL AFTERNOON
FOR THIS LIGHT.
YOU MUST FIND
ANOTHER PLACE TO SIT.
BUT I USE THIS SEAT
VERY NEARLY EVERY AFTERNOON
AT THIS TIME.
I SUGGEST YOU TAKE YOUR
PHOTOGRAPHS SOMEWHERE ELSE.
NO, NO.
I WAS HERE FIRST.
AND BESIDES,
WHAT IS MORE IMPORTANT?
A NOBODY
SITTING ON THIS BENCH,
OR A BRILLIANT
PHOTOGRAPHIC STUDY?
A NOBODY? ME, EH?
AND YOU,
A GREAT GENIUS, I SUPPOSE.
OF COURSE.
NOW, PLEASE.
I HAVE WASTED
ENOUGH TIME TALKING.
I AM LOSING MY LIGHT.
PLEASE, WHY DON'T YOU
GO AND HAVE A DRINK
AND COME BACK IN AN HOUR.
WITHOUT DOUBT, YOU ARE
THE MOST RUDE YOUNG PERSON
I HAVE EVER MET
IN MY LIFE.
ALL RIGHT.
I WILL HAVE TO WORK
AROUND YOU.
HOCH, BITTE!
LOS!
HALT!
WOULD YOU TEND
TO HIS WOUND, PLEASE?
BRAVO, MAJOR.
VERY WELL DONE, INDEED.
THANK YOU.
YOU DIDN'T SPILL
A DROP, MAJOR.
PROSIT TO THE AMERICAN
NAZI CORPS.
TO OUR PARTY.
NOW, COLONEL.
DO I GET YOUR ENDORSEMENT?
WELL...WE'LL SEE.
IN THE MEANTIME,
WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU
WHILE YOU ARE HERE?
LET ME WORK WITH YOU.
I WANT TO LEARN
EVERYTHING I CAN.
ONE DAY,
I WANT TO BE KNOWN
AS THE VON FRANK
OF AMERICA.
I SUPPOSE YOU HAVE
AS MUCH RIGHT TO THIS BENCH
AS I DO, BUT YOU SEE,
I HAVE BEEN WAITING
FOR THREE HOURS
FOR THE SHADOWS.
IS PHOTOGRAPHY
VERY IMPORTANT TO YOU?
SHH!
THIS IS A STILL LIFE,
REMEMBER?
TELL ME, FRAULEIN,
DO YOU ALWAYS
WEAR YOUR HAIR THAT WAY?
WHY? YOU DON'T LIKE IT?
NO, IT'S VERY BECOMING,
BUT ISN'T IT JUST
A LITTLE OLD-FASHIONED
BY TODAY'S STANDARDS?
WELL, I LIKE IT.
AHH!
OH, WHAT HAPPENED?
OH, NOW LOOK
WHAT YOU HAVE DONE.
OH, I WILL HAVE TO GO HOME.
I WILL NOT GET MY PICTURE.
PLEASE, LET ME HELP YOU.
NO, YOU HAVE DONE ENOUGH.
OH, HOW AM I GOING TO
GET HOME THIS WAY?
DON'T WORRY ABOUT THAT.
I WILL DRIVE YOU HOME.
MY CAR IS
JUST OVER THERE. KARL!
THIS WON'T TAKE A MINUTE.
WILL THIS UNDO LIKE THAT?
JUST FOLD IT UP.
OH, YES. THAT'S RIGHT.
AH, KARL, TAKE THESE,
PLEASE, WILL YOU?
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
NOW GET IN.
LET ME HELP YOU.
LET ME TAKE THIS.
BUT, UH...
NO, YOU'LL BE
PERFECTLY SAFE.
BY THE WAY,
WHERE DO YOU LIVE?
22 LODENSTRASSE.
22 LODENSTRASSE, KARL.
DID YOU HEAR THAT?
BUT I DON'T EVEN KNOW
YOUR NAME.
I'M A NOBODY, REMEMBER?
WILLY, PUT THE SCREEN
OVER THERE.
RIGHT.
OKAY, SWITCH IT ON.
[ WHIRRING ]
CONGRATULATIONS,
FRAULEIN.
YOU CERTAINLY HAVE
A TALENT FOR PHOTOGRAPHY.
I WILL BELIEVE THAT WHEN
I BEGIN TO SELL MY WORK.
OH, YOU MUST GIVE YOURSELF
TIME, YOU KNOW.
TIME? I HAVE BEEN
STUDYING HERE AT THE ACADEMY
OVER A YEAR ALREADY.
I DON'T KNOW HOW IT WAS
WHEN YOU WERE YOUNG...
BUT I OCCASIONALLY
LIKE TO EAT.
OH, I DON'T THINK
THINGS HAVE CHANGED MUCH
SINCE MY DAY.
DO YOU KNOW THAT WHEN I
FIRST MET MY LATE WIFE,
SHE WAS A STUDENT
OF PHOTOGRAPHY.
SHE WAS?
YEAH.
I WOULD LIKE
TO ASK YOU SOMETHING.
DID SHE EVER
THINK ABOUT GIVING IT UP
AND PURSUING
ANOTHER LINE OF WORK?
GIVING IT UP? OH!
NOW I COME TO THINK OF IT,
SHE ONCE VERY SERIOUSLY
THOUGHT OF BEING A SALESGIRL.
YOU ARE MAKING A JOKE.
NO.
THAT IS INCREDIBLE.
WHY, ONLY THIS MORNING,
I WAS LOOKING UP JOBS.
LOOK.
LOOK AT THE ONLY ONE
WHICH I CHECKED OFF.
OOH! SALESGIRLS,
KREIGER DEPARTMENT STORE.
WHAT A COINCI--
WELL, IF YOU EXCUSE ME,
I THINK I MUST BE GOING.
YOU KNOW, YOU YOUNG PEOPLE
ALWAYS HAVE SO MUCH TO DO.
NO, PLEASE STAY. PLEASE.
I OWE YOU AN APOLOGY.
MY BEHAVIOR IN THE PARK
THIS AFTERNOON -- IT WAS RUDE.
IT WAS ATROCIOUS.
OH, NO. IT'S WHAT THEY CALL
THE ARTISTIC TEMPERAMENT.
YOU OWE ME NOTHING.
OH, BUT I DO.
I HAVE A CONFESSION TO MAKE.
SINCE YOU ARE HERE,
I RECOGNIZE YOU.
I ALWAYS THOUGHT
THAT PEOPLE SO FAMOUS
WERE COLD AND HARD
AND DIFFICULT TO TALK TO,
BUT INSTEAD, I FIND
YOU ARE EASY TO TALK TO.
THANK YOU.
WHAT I AM TRYING TO SAY
IS THAT --
[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]
[ RINGS ]
[ RINGS ]
EXCUSE ME.
[ RINGS ]
[ RINGS ]
HELLO? HELLO?
OH, IT'S YOU.
I ASKED YOU
NOT TO CALL HERE AGAIN.
NO, I CAN'T.
NO, I CAN'T TALK.
ERIK, I WARNED YOU
YOU WOULD BE IN TROUBLE.
NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT. NO.
I WON'T BE HERE.
I AM GOING OUT RIGHT NOW.
DO YOU HEAR ME, ERIK?
PLEASE.
LEAVE ME OUT OF THIS.
IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG,
FRAULEIN?
NO.
I AM AFRAID YOU MUST GO.
FRAULEIN, WHAT IS IT?
I WOULD RATHER NOT
DISCUSS IT.
IS THERE ANYTHING
I CAN DO TO HELP YOU?
NO.
PLEASE, GO.

[ RINGS ]
YOU ARE COMING WITH ME.
[ RINGS ]
OH...OH, YES. ALL RIGHT.
MAYBE IT IS BETTER.
HE MUST NOT
FIND ME HERE ALONE.
I WILL BE NO BOTHER.
YOU WILL DROP ME
AT THE NEAREST RESTAURANT.
WOULD YOU DO THAT FOR ME?
OH, I WILL DO
MORE THAN THAT.
YOU WILL HAVE DINNER
AT MY HOUSE WITH ME.
WE WILL DISCUSS
YOUR FUTURE.
DO YOU KNOW,
I HAVE BEEN ASKED
TO WRITE
A BOOK ABOUT MYSELF?
PICTURES WILL BE NEEDED.
YOU ARE OFFERING ME A JOB?
OF COURSE!
WAIT!
I WILL NEED MY CAMERAS.
[ TELEPHONE RINGING ]
COME ALONG.
[ RINGS ]
[ Rings ]
DID YOU ENJOY YOUR DINNER?
I HAD FORGOTTEN
FOOD LIKE THIS EXISTS.
[ LAUGHING ]
NOW, THEN.
TELL ME ABOUT
THAT YOUNG FRIEND OF YOURS.
THE ONE WHO TELEPHONED
AND FRIGHTENED YOU SO MUCH.
THERE IS NOT MUCH TO TELL.
HE IS A STUDENT.
A FEW MONTHS AGO,
HE MADE SOME SPEECHES
AT THE ACADEMY
AND WROTE SOME ARTICLES
ABOUT THE NEO-NAZIS.
FOR THEM OR AGAINST THEM?
AGAINST THEM, OF COURSE.
YOU KNOW,
SOMETIMES I WONDER
WHETHER YOU YOUNG PEOPLE
TAKE THE TROUBLE
TO SEPARATE
THE PRINCIPLES OF NAZISM
FROM THOSE MADMEN WHO,
IN ITS NAME,
MURDERED MILLIONS
OF INNOCENT PEOPLE
AND ALMOST DESTROYED
OUR COUNTRY.
BUT THEN, IF THESE MEN
ARE SO DIFFERENT,
WHY, THEN, IS MY FRIEND'S
LIFE IN DANGER?
OH, I DON'T THINK IT IS.
LIKE MOST YOUNG MEN,
HE PROBABLY HAS
A VIVID IMAGINATION,
BUT I DON'T THINK
HE IS IN REAL DANGER.
YOU KNOW, THE NAZIS
OF TODAY ARE NO LONGER --
NO LONGER GANGSTERS
AND PSYCHOPATHS.
THEY ARE DEDICATED MEN,
BELIEVE ME.
PERHAPS YOU ARE RIGHT.
SOMEHOW, JUST THE MENTION
OF THE WORD "NAZI"
MAKES MY BLOOD RUN COLD.
HEIL!
HEIL!
HEIL!

VERY HAPPY.

I SHAN'T SOON FORGET.
THANK YOU.
BUT I REALLY MUST BE
STARTING FOR HOME.
OH, NONSENSE. YOU ARE
STAYING HERE TONIGHT.
OH, BUT I --
YES, I'M A LITTLE BIT
WORRIED ABOUT YOU.
I THINK
IT WOULD BE WISER
FOR YOU
TO STAY HERE TONIGHT.
THANK YOU, HERR KELMANN.
WITH THE NUMBER OF SEATS
THAT WE NOW HOLD,
WE REPRESENT ABOUT 6%
OF THE CONTROLLING FACTOR.

HAVE A SEAT, MAJOR.
THANK YOU.
[ RINGS ]
YEAH, HELLO?
IT'S KARL.
I HAVE SOMETHING TO REPORT.
WHAT IS IT?
HERR KELMANN HAS MET A GIRL.
GIRL? WHO IS SHE?
I DON'T KNOW. HE MET HER
AT THE PARK TODAY.
YOU THINK
SHE MAY MEAN TROUBLE?
HE SEEMS TO LIKE HER.
SHE'S SPENDING THE NIGHT.
I'LL BE THERE
TOMORROW MORNING.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE,
FRAULEIN?
I ASKED YOU, FRAULEIN,
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
FRAULEIN, YOU REALLY MUST
TRY AND EXPLAIN TO ME
WHAT YOU ARE DOING
DOWN HERE.
I WAS TAKING PICTURES.
YOU SEE, I COULDN'T SLEEP.
I WAS...
WORRIED ABOUT WHAT
HAPPENED BEFORE,
AND AT THE SAME TIME,
EXCITED ABOUT THIS OPPORTUNITY
YOU HAVE GIVEN ME.
I LAY THERE THINKING,
AND PRETTY SOON,
PICTURE AFTER PICTURE
WAS COMING INTO MY HEAD,
AND THEN THERE WAS
NOTHING TO DO
EXCEPT COME DOWN HERE
AND TAKE THOSE PICTURES.
THAT'S ALL
THERE WAS TO IT.
YOU WERE TAKING PICTURES
IN THE DARK?
NO. I WAS TAKING
FLASH PICTURES.
I'M SORRY.
I DON'T QUITE UNDERSTAND.
I WAS TAKING PICTURES
OF THAT BUST.
YOU SEE,
IT WAS AN EXPERIMENT.
WHAT I WANTED
WAS FOR THE HEAD
TO BE SCULPTURED
WITH LIGHT,
FOR THERE BE TWO SHADOWS
ON THE FACE,
AND THE BACKGROUND
TO BE TOTALLY BLACK.
I GUESS
IT WAS FOOLISH OF ME.
YOU CAN GO
BACK TO BED, KARL.
BUT HERR KELMANN --
I SAID
YOU COULD GO, KARL.
I SUGGEST WE ALL
GO BACK TO OUR BEDS
AND FORGET ALL ABOUT THIS.
BUT PERHAPS IT WOULD BE
WISER, IN THE FUTURE,
IF YOU WOULD CONFINE
YOUR PICTURE-TAKING
TO THE DAYLIGHT HOURS.
HERR KELMANN LIVES WELL.
HE IS A VERY RICH MAN,
MAJOR.
VERY RICH.
GOOD MORNING.
GOOD MORNING, SIR.
KARL, WOULD YOU BE SO KIND
AS TO ANNOUNCE MYSELF
AND MAJOR RICHARD DUNHILL
FROM AMERICA, PLEASE.
YES, SIR. SIR, MAY I
SPEAK TO YOU A MOMENT?
YES. EXCUSE ME, MAJOR.
WHAT IS IT?
I CAUGHT THE GIRL LAST NIGHT
TAKING PICTURES.
THANK YOU.

TO SEE YOU, SIR.
HE'S WITH AN ASSOCIATE --

PLEASE, LET
WHOEVER IT IS WAIT.

IS TOO PERFECT TO LOSE.
VERY WELL.

A MOMENT OR TWO.
COME WITH ME, MAJOR.
TERRIBLY SORRY TO INTERRUPT
SUCH AN IMPORTANT CONFERENCE.
NO, IT'S ALMOST OVER.
LET ME INTRODUCE

MAJOR RICHARD DUNHILL
FROM THE AMERICAN
NAZI CORPS.
A GREAT HONOR, SIR.
THANK YOU, MAJOR.
WHAT IS THIS?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
IT IS MY JOB.
DON'T LOOK SO SERIOUS.
GIVE ME THAT CAMERA.
NO, PLEASE.
PLEASE, COLONEL.
I WANT THAT CAMERA!
YOU HAVEN'T GIVEN ME
A CHANCE TO EXPLAIN.
I WANT THAT FILM!
GIVE ME THAT FILM!
LEAVE IT TO ME.
GIVE ME THE CAMERA.

POSSIBLY ALLOW THIS?
COME, LET'S HAVE A SEAT.
PLEASE, PLEASE.
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
LOOK OUT FOR KARL.
HE'S VON FRANK'S MAN.
IS THIS EVERYTHING?
MM-HMM.

GET RID OF HER!
WE CANNOT AFFORD
THESE MISTAKES.
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO SHE IS.
DON'T GET SO EXCITED.
WHAT IF MY ENEMIES FOUND OUT
ABOUT OUR CONNECTION?

COULD RUIN US.
I PROMISE, I'LL MAKE SURE
SHE SAYS NOTHING.

WILL PUT HIM UNDER.

A LOVELY PICTURE.

HERE?
YES.
WHAT'S THE MATTER?
THAT'S NICE.
SOMETHING'S BAD HERE.
SOMETHING IS VERY WRONG.

I-I DON'T KNOW.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
SOMEHOW, I FEEL
SHE'S AN ENEMY...YOUR ENEMY.

HERE? OH, YES.
YES. THAT'S IT.
THAT'S GOOD.
RIGHT HERE.

OF ALL THE FURNITURE.

YOU WILL FIND THEM EXCITING.
I'M SURE I SHALL.

AH, GOOD. JUST RIGHT.

SHE'S STAYING WITH KELMANN.
TRUE. YEAH. YEAH.
EXCELLENT.
THAT WOULD BE
A VERY GREAT FAVOR, INDEED.
YES.
OH...IF YOU FIND OUT
ANYTHING, ANYTHING AT ALL,
WOULD YOU BE SO KIND
AS TO INFORM ME IMMEDIATELY?
[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]

I LOCATED
THE GIRL'S LANDLADY.
AND?
SHE RENTED THE APARTMENT
ONE WEEK AGO.
HE LIED TO ME!
KELMANN LIED TO ME!
HE TOLD ME THAT GIRL
HAD BEEN AT THE ACADEMY,
STUDYING THERE
FOR NEARLY ONE YEAR.
THAT'S WHAT SHE TOLD HIM.
SHE LIED TO HIM.
I WANT TO KNOW
EVERYTHING ABOUT THE GIRL.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
EVERYTHING!
YES, SIR.
AND NO LATER THAN TONIGHT,
DO YOU UNDERSTAND?!
YES, SIR!
FROM THE MATERIAL
YOU HAVE LET ME SEE
ABOUT YOUR BIOGRAPHY,
I THINK THAT THE PICTURES
WE HAVE DONE
ARE GOING TO WORK --
[ BANGS ON DOOR ]
HE SEEMS COMPLETELY OUT.
YEAH, HE IS. THAT'S THE WAY
THE DRUG WORKS.
IN ABOUT 10 MINUTES,
HE'LL COME AROUND
TO A KIND OF TWILIGHT SLEEP.
HE'LL STAY THAT WAY TILL
WE GIVE HIM THE ANTIDOTE.
ANYTHING?
NOTHING YET AT ALL.
WE'VE GOT TO KEEP LOOKING.
I KNOW I'M RIGHT
ABOUT THAT GIRL.
[ DOOR OPENS ]

FORGIVE THIS INTRUSION.
THERE IS A MATTER
OF GRAVE URGENCY.
WE HAVE DISCOVERED
YOUR WIFE IS A TRAITOR.
SHE HAS BEEN WORKING
AGAINST US.
SHE IS STILL A MEMBER
OF THE SOCIAL DEMOCRAT PARTY.
SHE HAS CONTRIBUTED FUNDS
AND WRITTEN ARTICLES
AGAINST US.
DO YOU DENY THIS,
FRAU KELMANN?
I DO NOT.
DO YOU DENY CALLING ME
A BEAST AND A MADMAN?!
DO YOU?!
HOW CAN YOU DENY THE TRUTH?
YOU ARE A SICK
AND VIOLENT MAN.
YOU DEGRADE
EVERYTHING THAT IS HUMAN.
YOU DISGUST ME.

ARE YOU
PLOTTING AGAINST ME?
YOU ARE, ARE YOU NOT?
YES. I HOPE YOU NEVER --

OF THIS COUNTRY
RESTS IN THESE HANDS.
DO NOT PUT
AN END TO IT NOW.

OH...STRONG MAN...

DON, AS SOON AS YOU
GET THE VAN LOADED,
MOVE IT OUT.
WE'VE GOT TO BE OUT OF HERE
WITH EVERYTHING
BACK TO NORMAL IN 10 MINUTES.
COLONEL!
I FOUND SOMETHING.
EUROPA AIRLINES.
FROM LONDON.
DATED A WEEK AGO.
SO SHE HAS BEEN HERE
ONLY FOR ONE WEEK.
WE MUST GET TO KELMANN'S
HOUSE IMMEDIATELY.
COME ON.
[ SIGHS ]
[ DOOR OPENS ]
FORGIVE
THE INTRUSION, OTTO.
WHAT IS IT, COLONEL?
THIS GIRL IS A SPY.
SHE WAS SENT HERE
TO UNCOVER
OUR RELATIONSHIP, OTTO.
TO DESTROY ME.
I CAN'T SIT HERE
AND LISTEN TO SUCH NONSENSE.
I HAVE PROOF, OTTO.
SHE CLAIMS TO BE A STUDENT,
WHERE SHE'S NOT.
SHE SAYS SHE HAS BEEN HERE
FOR ONE YEAR,
WHERE IN FACT SHE HAS
ONLY BEEN HERE FOR ONE WEEK.
FRAULEIN, IS THIS TRUE?
YES, IT IS.
BECAUSE I DESPISE HIM,
AND ALL THE NAZIS
THAT SURROUND HIM.
HE IS INSANE,
AND HIS INSANITY
WILL DESTROY US.
HE MUST BE STOPPED.
YOU WILL NOT STOP ME,
FRAULEIN.
YOU CANNOT STOP ME.
I CAN AND I WILL.
I HAVE LEARNED ENOUGH HERE
TO DESTROY YOU.
THERE'S A PLOT AGAINST ME,
ISN'T THERE, FRAULEIN?
ISN'T THERE?!
YES. YES, THERE IS.
YOU CANNOT STOP ME NOW.
YOU ARE FINISHED.
[ GUNSHOT ]

I HAD TO DO IT, OTTO.
SHE WOULD HAVE
DESTROYED ME.
SHE WOULD HAVE
DESTROYED US.
SHE WAS WRONG, OTTO!

NEEDS NEW LEADERSHIP.
IT NEEDS
A STRONG LEADER, OTTO.
MY GOD, NO!
I'LL CALL THE POLICE.
