[ Arvid ]
HEY, PETER, THOMAS.

QUIZ TIME.

WHAT IS AN "ICKY" ?

SOMEONE
WHO'S STUPID, NOT HIP,
CAN'T COLLAR THAT JIVE.

JIVE ?
TALK. WHAT THEY
SAY IN HARLEM.

TOO EASY.
UM, "FAUST."

OH, A BOOK
BY GOETHE ?
ICKY. EVEN AS
WE SPEAK, TWO ICKIES.

ICK ! ICK !
ICK ! ICK !
SWING JERKS.

A FAUST IS
AN UGLY GIRL.

ESPECIALLY WITH YOU, THOMAS.

[ Boys ]
OOH !

PARTY EVER. RIGHT, PETER ?

SWINGINGEST.
SUPER-MERGENTROID.

SUPER WHAT ?
COME ON, EVEY.
THEY TALK GIBBERISH.

NO, IT'S A SECRET LANGUAGE
WE'RE NOT ALLOWED TO KNOW.

IT'S ALL TOO SECRET.

[ Laughing ]

* YOU

* AND YOU LINGER LIKE
A HAUNTING REFRAIN *

* AND I FIND YOU SPINNING
'ROUND IN MY BRAIN *

* LIKE THE BUBBLES
IN A GLASS... **

[ Willi ] WHAT DID
YOU DO TODAY ? DID YOU AND
THOMAS GO DOWN TO THE DOCKS ?

[ Peter ] YEAH, WE WENT
DOWN THERE AFTER SCHOOL,
BUT NO NEW RECORDS CAME IN.

SO WHAT ARE WE DOING
TOMORROW ? ARE WE GONNA
GO TO THE HALL CLUB ?

WILLI--
[ Man ]
I SAW YOU LOOKING AT ME.
YOU CAN'T DENY IT.

[ Peter ]
WHAT ARE YOU DOING ?
DON'T TOUCH HER !

GODDAMN YOU !
MAMA !

- LEAVE HIM ALONE !
- NO, DON'T !

PETER ! NO !
PETER, NO ! NO, DON'T !

NO. I'M ALL RIGHT.

I'M ALL RIGHT.

HERR HINTZ
WAS JUST LEAVING.

I THOUGHT A WOMAN
OF YOUR SPECIAL BACKGROUND
WOULD VALUE MY PROTECTION.

YOUR BOY NEEDS
A HAIRCUT.

- THAT'S OUR BUSINESS.
- PERHAPS NOT.

WE HAVE NOTHING
TO FEAR.

FOR SIX YEARS,
I'VE PROVEN MY LOYALTY.

THE NEW ORDER DEMANDS
ABSOLUTE LOYALTY.

YOUTH OF HIS SORT BELONG
IN A WORK CAMP.

GOOD NIGHT.

HERR HINTZ, WAIT.
PLEASE. WAIT.

[ Knocking ]

- WHO ARE YOU EXPECTING ?
- NO ONE.

[ Knocking ]
PETER, TELL WHOEVER
IT IS TO GO AWAY.

- MAMA--
- DO WHAT I TELL YOU.

[ Man ]
GOOD EVENING.
IS FRAU MULLER AT HOME ?

WHO IS IT ?

HEIL HITLER !
HEIL HITLER.
WHO ARE YOU ?

I WAS COLLECTING
FOR THE WINTER RELIEF.
MAY I BE OF SOME SERVICE ?

NO, YOU MAY GO.

MAY I HELP YOU ?
FRAU MULLER.

YES.

I'M SO SORRY
TO DISTURB YOU.
I'M HERR KNOPP.

YOU ALL RIGHT ?

YES, IT'S NOTHING.

ARE YOU GOING
TO TAKE MY MAMA ?

NO ONE IS GOING TO TAKE
AWAY YOUR MOTHER,
YOUNG MAN.

ALTHOUGH SO BEAUTIFUL
A LADY, IT IS, UM...
QUITE TEMPTING.

BUT REALLY, YOU SHOULD, UH,
SEE TO THAT CUT.

YOU HAVE SOME IODINE ?

PLEASE. ALLOW ME.
IT'S NOT NECESSARY.

HE'S IN THE GESTAPO.
I THINK--
DON'T WORRY.
IT'S ALL RIGHT.

WE'VE DONE NOTHING WRONG.
JUST BE QUIET.

I FOUND IT.

UM, PLEASE SIT DOWN.
LET ME, UH, LET ME SEE.

NOW, THIS WILL ONLY STING
FOR A MOMENT.

YES.

THERE. THERE.

THERE. THAT DIDN'T
HURT TOO MUCH, DID IT ?

IT SHOULD HEAL
IN NO TIME.
THANK YOU.

UH, I CAN SEE
YOU'RE WONDERING.

REGRETTABLY, I AM HERE
ON OFFICIAL BUSINESS,

BUT I HOPE THAT
WE CAN CONCLUDE THAT
AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.

UH, DO YOU KNOW
A CARL MANGLESDORF ?

I DID. A LONG TIME AGO.

HE WAS, UM, AN ASSOCIATE
OF MY HUSBAND'S.

THEN YOU HAVE NOT
SEEN HIM RECENTLY ?

NO. THE LAST TIME
WAS PROBABLY SIX YEARS AGO,

BEFORE MY HUSBAND
PASSED AWAY.

OH, I'M SO SORRY.

WHAT HAS HE DONE ?

OH, IT IS UNIMPORTANT.

UH, HAVE ANY OTHER
OF YOUR HUSBAND'S ASSOCIATES...

TRIED TO CONTACT YOU ?

NO.

SINCE HIS DEATH,
I'VE HAD NOTHING TO DO
WITH ANY OF HIS FRIENDS.

I TOOK A JOB
AT THE FARBEN FACTORY...

AND HAVE DEVOTED
MYSELF TO THE REICH
AND MY CHILDREN.

WELL, YOU HAVE RAISED
TWO FINE SONS.

I SEE THE RESEMBLANCE.

OR IS IT JUST
A FAMILY PROCLIVITY
FOR FACIAL ABRASIONS ?

[ Door Opening, Coughing ]
DO YOU HAVE NEWS OF MY SON ?

EXCUSE HER.
SHE'S, UH, NOT FEELING WELL.
WILHELM IS DEAD, MOTHER.

DEAR LADY, IT IS I
WHO MUST EXCUSE MYSELF.

I HAVE ALL
THE INFORMATION I NEED.

SO, IF, UH...

ANYTHING ELSE OCCURS
TO YOU OR IF I CAN HELP
IN ANY WAY,

ANY WAY AT ALL, PLEASE.

GOOD NIGHT.
GOOD NIGHT.

HERE.

WELL, THANK YOU.
GOOD NIGHT.

[ Phonograph ]
* WHEN I WAS A KID
ABOUT HALF PAST THREE *

* MY DADDY SAID
SON, COME HERE TO ME *

* HE SAYS THINGS MAY COME
AND THINGS MAY GO *

* BUT THIS IS ONE THING
YOU OUGHT TO KNOW **

[ Phonograph Stops ]

WAS PAPA A COMMUNIST ?

WHAT ?

WHERE DID YOU GET
THAT IDEA ?

I DON'T KNOW.
I MEAN, ISN'T THAT WHY
THEY ARRESTED HIM ?

HE WASN'T A COMMUNIST.

THEN WHAT'D HE DO ?

DO YOU THINK I KNOW
EVERYTHING ? IT WAS
SIX YEARS AGO, WILLI.

I DON'T REMEMBER.
WELL, YOU REMEMBER
MORE THAN I DO.

I WAS ONLY THREE.

I REMEMBER
THEY TOOK HIM AWAY.

AND THEN HE CAME BACK
AFTER A LONG TIME.
AND HE WAS SICK.

SO ?

DID THEY MAKE
HIM SICK IN PRISON ?
I DON'T KNOW.

GO TO SLEEP. I HAVE
TO WORK IN THE MORNING.

BUT HE LOVED US.

DIDN'T HE ?

[ Man ]
HELLO, PETER.
HERR SCHUMLER.

MAKE SURE YOU DON'T
TAKE ANY SIDE TRIPS.

I CAN'T AFFORD TO KEEP
MY OLDER CUSTOMERS WAITING.

THEY'RE THE ONLY ONES
WHO READ ANYMORE.

EVERYONE ELSE IS TOO BUSY
GOING TO PARADES.
YES, HERR SCHUMLER.

DON'T YOU NEED
THE ADDRESSES ?

DISTRACTED TODAY.

NASTY BRUISE.
WHAT HAPPENED ?

GOOD MORNING.
I AM LOOKING FOR
A RARE EDITION OF "FAUST."

ARE YOU A STUDENT
OF CLASSICAL MUSIC ?

NO.

MY FATHER, I THINK
HE'S THE VIOLINIST.

WILHELM MULLER ?

HE WAS A GREAT MUSICIAN.
YOU MUST BE VERY PROUD.

**

WELL, GOOD-BYE.

GOOD-BYE.

[ Phonograph Stopping ]

[ Man ]
AW, I FOUND IT.

[ Siren Wailing ]

I'M FINISHED.

WITH THE BOOTH.
YOU CAN USE IT.

CAN I HELP YOU
FIND ANYTHING ?

I KNOW THIS STORE LIKE
IT'S MY OWN PRIVATE COLLECTION.

NO. THANKS.

OKAY.

- ISN'T BENNY GOODMAN
THE BEST ?

- THAT IS-- THIS IS
BENNY GOODMAN.
- NO, IT'S GENE--

NO, GENE KRUPA IS--
BENNY'S ILLEGAL...

SO THEY RELABEL ALL
THESE JACKETS TO GET THEM
BY THE CENSOR.

THE AUTHORITIES DON'T KNOW.
IT TAKES THEM FOREVER
TO CATCH ON.

YOU KNOW, THEY HAVEN'T BANNED
ARSHOWSKI YET. ARTIE SHAW.
AND HE'S JEWISH.

AND COUNT BASIE.
YOU CAN STILL GET
COUNT BASIE. HE'S A NEGRO.

HMM.
THEY PROBABLY THINK HE'S
THE HEAD OF A COUNTRY.

[ Chuckles ]

YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT SWING, DO YOU ?

OF COURSE I DO.

JUST NOT A LOT.

COME HERE.

GET READY.

YOU'RE ABOUT TO REALLY
BLOW YOUR WIG.

WELL, I SHOULD JUST--
LET ME. I'LL CLOSE THE--

DOOR.

THAT'S BUNNY BERIGAN
ON THE TRUMPET.

ACTUALLY,
IT'S PEEWEE ERWIN.

EVERYTHING ABOUT SWING.

AHH ! OH, WHAT A BURN !
[ Screams ]

IT'S, IT'S, HE'S JUST

SOLID SEND OF JIVE.

HE JUST SWINGS
IT OUT. IT'S--

SUPER-MERGENTROID.
YEAH.

DO YOU JITTERBUG ?
NO.

DO YOU WANNA LEARN ?
IT'S EASY, AND I
COULD TEACH YOU.

ANYONE CAN DO IT.
YOU CAN'T LISTEN TO THIS
AND NOT DANCE.

**

IT JUST SENDS YOU.

MULLER.

- [ Evey Laughing ]

**

MULLER !

THIS ISN'T ONE
OF YOUR DANCING CLUBS.

- WHAT ?
- THIS ISN'T ONE
OF YOUR DANCING CLUBS.

**

WE WERE, WE WERE
JUST LISTENING.

WHAT ABOUT BUYING ? I DON'T
KNOW WHY I BOTHER STOCKING
THOSE SWING RECORDS.

THEY ARE MORE TROUBLE
THAN THEY ARE WORTH.

I'LL BUY IT.

[ Man ]
ALL RIGHT, YOU HEPCATS,
GET READY TO JUMP UP AND DOWN.

HERE'S ONE OF YOUR OWN

LOOK AT THOSE
PANSIES.

THEY'RE ALL TRAINING
FOR THE GESTAPO. HOW'D THEY
KNOW WE WERE HERE TONIGHT ?

PROBABLY BEAT IT
OUTTA SOME SWING KID.
THAT'S EMIL.

WHERE ?

**

SO IT'S TRUE.

GODDAMN TRAITOR.

HE WAS PROBABLY
FORCED INTO IT.
IT I COMPULSORY AFTER ALL.

OH, SOME EXCUSE. THOSE CREEPS
ARE TOO BUSY MARCHING UP AND
DOWN ALL DAY TO KEEP TRACK.

ARVID'S RIGHT.
EMIL COULDN'T BE A TRAITOR.
HE WAS THE ORIGINAL HEPCAT.

**

NO. NO ONE WHO LIKES SWING
CAN BECOME A NAZI.

[ Blowing Raspberry
To Marching Beat ]

**

[ Thomas ]
AH ! WHO NEEDS HIM ANYWAY ?

COME ON.
LET'S HAVE SOME FUN.

[ Siren Wailing ]

** [ Whistling ]

**

[ Otto ]
KEEP THAT BLINDFOLD ON.
[ Arvid ] BLINDFOLD'S ON.

I'M SORRY, OTTO.
I GROOVED THIS PLATTER
FROM THE FIRST LICK. "HARLEM."

RECORDED SEPTEMBER 14, 1937,
TEDDY FOSTER, TRUMPET.

- FREDDY GARDNER, ALTO.
- HEY ! YOU GUYS ARE NOT GONNA
BELIEVE WHAT JUST HAPPENED.

- THIS H.J. RODE BY ME
AND WHISTLED THE SIGNAL.
- WHAT ?

- THIS H.J. WHISTLED,
"IT DON'T MEAN A THING."
- YOU'RE JOKING.

HE MUST HAVE BEEN A HEPCAT.
IT'S LIKE HERR HITMAN SAID.
A HEPCAT CAN'T BE BROKEN.

WHAT IF HE LEARNED IT
FROM EMIL ?

HE MIGHT HAVE BEEN TRYING TO
TRICK YOU INTO TELLING HIM
WHERE THE NEXT PARTY IS.

COME ON. IT TOOK YOU
A YEAR TO LEARN HOW
TO WHISTLE THAT.

- WELL, WHAT'S THAT
SUPPOSED TO MEAN ?
- IT MEANS WHAT IT MEANS.

QUIZ TIME.
"JOINT IS JUMPING."

UM, WHAT IT ISN'T
IN HERE. LIVELY.

CAN WE FIND
SOMETHING A LITTLE
MORE EXCITING TO DO ?

I SAY WE GO DOWN
TO THE RED-LIGHT DISTRICT
TO MAKE SOME NEW FRIENDS.

YEAH, I COULD GO
FOR SOME LADIES.

- THOSE FRIENDS COST MONEY.
- I WAS THINKIN' OF USIN'
THAT DOUGH YOU'VE STASHED.

I'M SAVIN' THAT MONEY FOR
THE SHORTWAVE RADIO. I'M NOT
SPENDING THAT ON SOME TART.

THAT'S BECAUSE EVEN IF
YOU PAID HER, YOU COULDN'T
GET ONE TO GO WITH YOU.

MAYBE YOU'RE BORED BECAUSE
YOU DON'T HAVE ANY IDEA
WHICH PLATTERS TO PICK.

- ALL RIGHT,
PUT ON THAT BLINDFOLD.
- WHAT ?

PUT IT ON.

I SAY WE GO RIGHT INTO IT.
COME ON. COME ON, THOMAS.

PICK ANY RECORD IN THE ROOM,
ANY RECORD.

OKAY.

BELIEVE I HEARTLE ACTIVITY
IN THE GENE KRUPA SECTION.
I THINK THAT COULD BE.

I'M WAITING.
I'M WAITING.

NO, NO.

IT'S TOO EASY.

[ Sighing ]

[ Record Scratching ]

- I'M SORRY. MY HAND SLIPPED.
- YOU DID THAT ON PURPOSE.

DON'T BE AN ASS.
I'M SORRY, OKAY ?
I'LL REPLACE IT.

YOU WILL ?
FROM WHERE ?

ALBERTI DOESN'T HAVE
ANYTHING LEFT. I GOTTA
GO DOWN TO THE DOCKS.

BESIDES, YOU HAVE NO IDEA
WHAT TO LOOK FOR.

OH, WELL, I'M SORRY
I'M NOT AS SMART AS YOU.

THE ONLY REASON YOU KNOW
THESE HITS IS BECAUSE
YOU CAN'T DANCE TO 'EM.

THOMAS.

[ Crash ]

GET OUT.

GET OUT !
[ Peter ]
ARVID, IT WAS A MISTAKE.

HIS HAND SLIPPED.
WHY DO YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO GO
ALONG WITH HIS STUPID JOKES ?

I'M NOT GOING ALONG
WITH ANYTHING.
IT WAS AN ACCIDENT.

GET OUTTA HERE. EVERYBODY.
WHY ARE YOU MAKING
SO MUCH OF IT ?

THIS IS MY HOT CLUB,
AND I WANT YOU TO GET OUT.

ARVID--
OKAY, GO.

[ Thomas ] OKAY, TO HELL WITH
YOU. JUST SIT AROUND ALL DAY
WITH YOUR RECORDS, WHACKING OFF.

OKAY ? OKAY ?
COME ON, PETER.

YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE SAID THAT
THING ABOUT HIM NOT BEING
ABLE TO DANCE, THOMAS.

WHY NOT ? IT'S TRUE.

I'M SICK OF HIM ACTING
LIKE HE'S SMARTER THAN
EVERYBODY ELSE ALL THE TIME.

LOOK AT THAT
SON OF A BITCH.

THEY ALL THINK THEY
CAN GET AWAY WITH
WHATEVER THEY WANT.

HE STOLE THAT RADIO
FROM SOMEONE THEY ARRESTED.
I SAW HIM GIVE IT TO THIS TART.

WHAT IF WE LIFTED IT ?
NEXT TIME HE COMES IN...

FOR HIS HOT LOAVES, HE GETS
THE COLD SHOULDER INSTEAD.

YEAH. WE COULD
GIVE IT TO ARVID.

PICK UP BENNY LIVE.
YEAH.

CAN YOU IMAGINE THE LOOK
ON THAT LITTLE CREEP'S FACE
WHEN WE WALK IN WITH IT ?

WHAT DO WE DO ?

[ Screaming ]

FRAULEIN. FRAULEIN.

HELP ME. HELP ME.
I'M BLEEDING.

A PACK OF H.J.S STABBED ME.

HELP ME ! I'M BLEEDING !

I'M BLEEDING !
I DON'T WANNA DIE !

OH, MY GOD !
[ Screaming ]

I'M BLEEDING SO BADLY.
WAIT THERE. WAIT, PLEASE.
DON'T LEAVE ME !

WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.
[ Peter ]
DAMN IT !

[ Woman ]
LET GO ! HEY !

WHAT ARE YOU DOING THERE ?

HELP !

HE STOLE MY RADIO !

[ Screams ]

DAMN. POUNDERS.

YOU MUST STOP THEM !
THEY STOLE MY RADIO !

- [ Whistle Blowing ]
- [ Woman ] HELP !

HEY, STOP !
HEY, HEY, STOP !

[ Whistle Blowing ]

HEY, STOP !

[ Whistle Blowing ]
STOP !

GO ! GO !

HEY, YOU, STOP !

- STOP THAT TRUCK !
- COME ON, PETER !

GIVE ME YOUR HAND !

COME ON !
THEY'RE RIGHT BEHIND US !
COME ON, PETER !

PETER, DROP THE RADIO !

DROP IT !
DROP THE DAMN THING !

- NO ! COME ON !
- LEAVE IT !

DAMN !

PETER !

THOMAS.

[ Peter ]
WHERE ARE YOU TAKING ME ?
[ Knopp ] HOME.

DOES MY MOTHER KNOW ?

I THINK SO. SHE'S
THE ONE WHO CALLED ME.

LUCKY FOR YOU SHE DID.

OTHERWISE, YOU
COULD BE ON YOUR WAY
TO A JUVENILE HOME OR WORSE.

I DON'T CARE.

WELL, HOWEVER SMALL
YOUR CONCERN MAY BE
FOR YOUR OWN WELL-BEING,

YOU MIGHT WANT TO CONSIDER
THAT THERE ARE OTHERS...

WHO MIGHT BE ENDANGERED
BY YOUR RECKLESSNESS.

WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO ?

ONLY THE SAME AS MOST BOYS
YOUR AGE ARE DOING.

I'VE INFORMED
THE LOCAL H.J. COMMANDER
OF YOUR SITUATION.

I'M NOT JOINING THE H.J.

OF COURSE,
IT'S YOUR DECISION.
I'M JUST TRYING TO HELP.

I DON'T WANT YOUR HELP.

YOU KNOW, PETER,

YOU MAY NOT BELIEVE THIS,

BUT I WAS ONCE
VERY MUCH LIKE YOU.

I KNOW HOW CONFUSING THINGS
CAN SEEM WHEN A YOUNG BOY
LOSES HIS FATHER.

MINE DIED WHEN
I WAS ONLY NINE.

IN THE WAR.

I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND IT.
I BLAMED EVERYONE,
INCLUDING MYSELF.

I DROPPED OUT OF SCHOOL,
LEFT HOME.

DRIFTED FROM ONE JOB
TO THE NEXT.

THEN ONE DAY,

I HEARD A MAN SPEAK
IN MUNICH.

I FELT SOMEHOW HE WAS
SPEAKING DIRECTLY TO ME.

SOMEHOW HE UNDERSTOOD
THE HELPLESSNESS I FELT.

THE YEARNINGS I HAD.

THAT DAY, I LEARNED
I WAS NOT ALONE.

WHILE I HAD BEEN HELPLESS
TO SAVE MY FATHER,

THERE WAS STILL MUCH
I COULD DO TO HELP SAVE
SOMETHING FAR GREATER.

THE FATHERLAND.

YOU DON'T HAVE
TO BE ALONE, PETER.

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT ?

I'M SORRY, MAMA.

I'M SUPPOSED
TO JOIN THE H.J.

THEN YOU MUST.

IT WAS A MISTAKE
TO ALLOW YOU TO NOT JOIN
IN THE FIRST PLACE.

I JUST COULDN'T
BEAR TO SEE YOU
IN THAT UNIFORM.

BUT YOU HAVE TO THINK
OF YOUR FUTURE.
THEY'RE PIGS, MAMA.

I'VE TOLD YOU. YOU MUST
LEARN TO STEEL YOURSELF.

YOU CANNOT LET
YOUR FEELINGS OVERCOME YOU.

I WON'T JOIN.

DO YOU WANT THEM TO START
WATCHING THE HOUSE AGAIN ?

DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT
IT WAS LIKE, ALL OF US
JUMPING AT EVERY KNOCK ?

I'D RATHER DIE THAN
GO THROUGH THAT AGAIN.

HEY, SWING BOY.

THOMAS ?

[ Laughing ]
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE ?

WHAT, DID YOU THINK
I WAS GONNA LET YOU HAVE
ALL THIS FUN BY YOURSELF ?

THIS IS NOT GOING TO
BE FUN. YOU SHOULDN'T
HAVE DONE THIS.

WELL, YOU'D HAVE DONE
THE SAME THING.

WE CAN'T LET 'EM
SPLIT US APART.

ANYWAY, THINK ABOUT IT.
IT'S THE PERFECT COVER.

H.J. BY DAY,
SWING KIDS BY NIGHT.

YOU LOOK RIDICULOUS.

[ Bell Ringing ]

COME ON.

[ Narrator ]
THE GERMAN PEOPLE
ONCE AGAIN REST EASY...

THAT THERE IS NOTHING
TO FEAR FROM WITHIN,
BUT LET THEM NOT REST TOO EASY.

LIKE A PLAGUE,
THE JEWISH INFESTATION...

STAYS READY TO STRIKE
A DEATH BLOW TO THE HEART
OF GERMANY'S RESURGENCE.

THE JEW CARES NOTHING
FOR GERMANY.

FROM EARLY CHILDHOOD,
ITS YOUNG ARE TAUGHT TO FOLLOW
THE LEAD OF THE JEWISH ELDERS,

WHOSE STRANGLEHOLD
ON THE WORLD'S ECONOMY...

GERMANY HAS ONLY NOW
STARTED TO BREAK.

**

DON'T LET US INTERRUPT YOU,
SWING BOY. KEEP DANCING.

**

HEY, WHAT YA GOT THERE ?

OH, BENNY GOODMAN.

[ Grunting ]
I WAS RIGHT ABOUT YOU.

YOU'RE JUST A BUNCH
OF JEW LOVERS.

NO !

NO !

YOU CALL US PANSIES.

EVEN MY GIRLFRIEND DOESN'T
WEAR HER HAIR THAT LONG.

[ Screaming ]

A CRIPPLE TOO.
PICK HIM UP.

WHAT'S YOUR NAME ?
DJANGO REINHARDT.

YOUR NAME.

DUKE ELLINGTON.

I KNOW HIS NAME.

EMIL.

[ Grunting ]

[ Screaming ]

LET'S HEAR YOU PLAY THAT
NIGGER-KIKE MUSIC NOW.

[ Screaming ]

- OH, NO !
- ARVID, IT'S ALL RIGHT.
HEY, ARVID.

IT'S PETER AND THOMAS.
ARVID, IT'S OKAY !

- CALM DOWN.
IT'S OKAY. IT'S OKAY.
- LEAVE ME ALONE !

- LEAVE THAT ALONE.
- LEAVE ME ALONE !

HE SAID I'D NEVER PLAY AGAIN.

BUT HE FORGOT ABOUT DJANGO.

DJANGO REINHARDT PLAYED
WITH TWO FINGERS.

SO CAN I.

[ Grunting ] SEE ?

THEY LOOK JUST LIKE HIS.

HE DIDN'T NEED
THESE TWO FINGERS.

WHO DID THIS TO YOU ?

WHO SAID YOU'D
NEVER PLAY AGAIN ?

SCHARFUEHRER LUTZ
WAS THE BOXING CHAMPION
THIS YEAR IN YOUR DIVISION,

AND HE WILL BE INSTRUCTING
YOU IN THE BASIC TECHNIQUES.

I'LL LEAVE YOU TO IT.

YES, BANNFUEHRER.

HOPE HE DOESN'T
CALL ON ME.

WILL SOMEONE VOLUNTEER
TO DEMONSTRATE,

OR DO I HAVE TO PICK ?
I'LL VOLUNTEER.

GOOD.

I'M GLAD TO SEE
A NEW RECRUIT SO EAGER.

LET'S SEE HOW YOU
DO WHEN YOU'RE NOT
FIGHTING A CRIPPLE.

[ Emil ]
KEEP YOUR PUNCHES
CLOSE TO YOUR SHOULDER.

OTHERWISE, YOU LEAVE
YOURSELF UNPROTECTED.

ATTACKING YOUR
OPPONENT'S BODY WILL
BRING HIS HANDS DOWN,

MAKING HIS HEAD
MORE VULNERABLE.

NEVER BE CAUGHT
AGAINST THE ROPES.
THANK YOU, HERR BERGER.

- YOU'VE BEEN MOST HELPFUL.
- GO TO HELL, TRAITOR.

I AM NOT A TRAITOR.
I JUST WISED UP.

YOU WILL TOO.

NOW I'LL NEED ANOTHER
VOLUNTEER TO HELP ME
DEMONSTRATE--

WATCH OUT !
[ Indistinct Yelling ]

WHOA ! HEY !
YEAH ! GO !

[ Peter ]
GO, THOMAS, GO !

YOU GOT HIM !
GIVE HIM THE ONE-TWO !
YOU GOT HIM !

THAT'S IT !

GET OFF THE ROPES !

COME ON, THOMAS.
GET OUT OF HIS WAY !
MOVE ! COME ON !

COME ON, HIT HIM !

COME ON !

[ Peter ]
EMIL, STOP IT !

- ENOUGH ?
- NO !

STOP !

COME ON. COME ON.

[ Peter ]
YOU PROVED YOUR POINT, THOMAS.
ENOUGH ?

- COME ON !
- [ Peter ]
JUST STAY DOWN !

EMIL ! EMIL,
THAT'S ENOUGH !

THAT'S ENOUGH !

YOU ALL RIGHT ?

THOMAS ?

LESSON'S OVER, SWING HEINE.

HEY !

* IT DON'T MEAN A THING
IF IT AIN'T GOT THAT SWING *

* DOO-WAH, DOO-WAH
DOO-WAH, DOO-WAH *

* DOO-WAH, DOO-WAH
DOO-WAH, DOO-WAH, DOO-WAH **

[ Coughing ]

** [ Big Band Music Playing ]

YEAH, SWING IT.
AW, I'M GROWLIN'.

* IT DON'T MEAN A THING
IF IT AIN'T GOT THAT SWING **

POW ! POW ! POW !
THREE TO THE STOMACH.
THOMAS WON'T GO DOWN.

TABLES TURN.

[ Grunting ]
RIGHT TO THE FACE.
YOU HAVE TO SEE EMIL.

EMIL'S FACE LOOKS LIKE
IT'S BEEN BENT SIDEWAYS.
YOU LOOK PRETTY BAD YOURSELF.

[ Peter ]
IT WAS MURDERISTIC.

I CAN'T.
THEY SMELL YOUR BREATH.

MAYBE WE SHOULDN'T PLAY
THIS MUSIC. THEY MIGHT
LISTEN TO YOUR EARS.

SO WHAT'S IT LIKE ANYWAY,
THE H.J. ?
[ Peter ] IT'S STUPID AS HELL.

ALL WE DO IS MEMORIZE THE
FUEHRER'S PERIOD OF STRUGGLE
AND ALL THIS OTHER STUFF.

ALMOST AS BORING
AS IT IS HERE.
[ Arvid ]
YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE HERE.

- DON'T YOU HAVE
SOME MARCHING TO DO ?
- DIDN'T WANNA JOIN. WE HAD TO.

HE HAD TO.
WHAT'S YOUR EXCUSE ?

WELL, I'M HIS FRIEND.

SO AM I. YOU DON'T
SEE ME JOINING.

- NO, THEY WOULDN'T
ACCEPT YOU.
- [ Knocking ]

** [ Whistling ]

COME.

ARVID, YOU'LL NEVER GUESS
WHAT I FOUND. I WAS OVER
AT SILKA'S HOUSE AND--

OH. HI.

HI, HELGA.
COME ON IN.
HI.

WHAT'S THE MATTER ?
EVERYONE IN HERE LOOKS
SADDER THAN A MAP.

WHEN DID SHE
BECOME A MEMBER ?

WE CAN LET H.J.S IN,
WE CAN LET HER IN.

I WENT AFTER EMIL,
AND ALL THE THANKS I GET
IS SUPERIOR REMARKS ?

I NEVER ASKED YOU
TO FIGHT HIM.
HEY.

EMIL ALMOST KILLED YOU.

SO WE'RE EVEN.
NOW WE CAN ALL BE FRIENDS.

YOU'RE FITTING RIGHT IN:
LISTENING TO THE SAME SONGS,

WEARING THE SAME CLOTHES,
GETTING INTO THE SAME FIGHTS.

IT'S ALMOST LIKE BEING
A SWING KID, ISN'T IT ?

THOUGH HE NEVER REALLY LIKED
THE MUSIC TO BEGIN WITH,
I GUESS THERE'S NO DIFFERENCE.

YOU WANNA START SOMETHING ?

YOU LIKE THAT, DON'T YOU ?
COME ON, THOMAS, HIT ME !

COME ON !
SWING AT ME !
COME ON, DO IT !

- LET GO OF ME.
- ARVID, LEAVE IT !

THAT'S ENOUGH.

DAMN IT, ARVID.

WHAT'S THE MATTER
WITH YOU ?

WHAT DO YOU WANT
US TO DO, ARVID ?
HE JOINED BECAUSE OF ME.

BECAUSE OF ME.

IF ANYONE'S CHANGED
AROUND HERE, IT'S YOU.

NO. I HAVEN'T CHANGED.
YES, YOU HAVE.

YOU SIT IN HERE ALL DAY.
YOU NEVER GO OUT
WITH US ANYMORE.

THERE'S A PARTY
AT THE TRICHTER TONIGHT.

ARVID ?

NO, WE HAVE TO PRACTICE.

[ Man ]
HITLER'S A MADMAN. HE'S TRYING
TO GET US INTO A WAR...

WITH THE WHOLE WORLD.
THE ARMY WILL PUT
A STOP TO THAT.

WE MUST RELY
ON THE ARMY.

I WISH YOU WOULD
STOP TALKING POLITICS.

WHAT DO DOCTORS KNOW
OF SUCH THINGS ?

MY FATHER ALWAYS SAID A MAN
WITH A FAMILY SHOULDN'T EVEN--
YOUR FATHER.

WHEN DID YOUR FATHER EVER
THINK ABOUT ANYTHING ?
[ Barking ]

[ Barking ]
WHO'S THERE ?

THOMAS,
IS THAT YOU ?

THOMAS ?
YES, PAPA !

WELL, COME IN AND SAY HELLO
TO OUR GUESTS.

THOMAS, WHAT HAPPENED
TO YOUR FACE ?

THOMAS, YOU REMEMBER
DR. AND FRAU KEPPLER.

THEY'RE HERE
FROM BERLIN.
DIETRICH.

I'D BETTER GET MY BAG.

[ Dietrich ]
THOMAS, YOU HAVEN'T
SAID HELLO YET.

HELLO, DR. KEPPLER,
FRAU KEPPLER.
DIETRICH, FOR GOD'S SAKE.

I'M ALL RIGHT, MAMA.

HE'S MORE THAN ALL RIGHT.
HE'S IN HIS ELEMENT.

THIS IS EXACTLY
WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT.

BUT THEY ALL LOOK
WONDERFUL IN THEIR
UNIFORMS, DON'T THEY ?

OUR LITTLE ADOLPHI
IS NO FOOL.

IS THAT WHY YOU
VOTED FOR HIM ?

YOU DON'T KNOW
THE FIRST THING ABOUT IT.

NOW GO UPSTAIRS
AND GET CLEANED UP.

I SUPPOSE IF I THINK
ABOUT MY FAMILY,

I SHOULD HOPE THAT THE NAZIS
STAY IN POWER FOREVER.

WITH THEM IN CHARGE,
EVEN A MISFIT LIKE THOMAS...

MIGHT HAVE A CHANCE
TO MAKE SOMETHING OF HIMSELF.

** [ "Sing, Sing, Sing" ]

**

**

SWING HEIL. PETER, THOMAS.

GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

SWING HEIL. HAVE FUN.
SWING HEIL.

**

YEAH !

**

SABINA,
LET'S JITTERBUG.
UP YOU GO.

**

[ Peter ]
GO, THOMAS !
YOU'RE THE KING OF HARLEM !

**

SWING LINE !

COME ON, EVERYBODY !
BACK UP, BACK UP !

**

TAKE ME HOME !

**

**

GO ! GO ! GO !

**

**

COME ON !

**

**

HOW DO I LOOK ?

LIKE GOLD.

**

YEAH, LOOK AT PETER !

[ Cheering ]

**

WHOO ! WHOO !

YEAH !

**

QUIET ! QUIET !

STOP !
[ Whistle Blowing ]

WE ARE CLOSING
THIS CLUB !

WE ARE CLOSING THIS CLUB !

YOU MUST LEAVE
IMMEDIATELY !

YOU MUST GIVE YOUR
NAMES AT THE DOOR.

LEAVE IMMEDIATELY !

WHAT DO WE DO ?
IT'S OKAY. IT'S OKAY.

COME ON.

[ Indistinct Screaming,
Talking ]

WHERE'S THOMAS ?

PETE, IT'S ME.
I'M ON YOUR SIDE.

[ Peter ]
GODDAMN THEM.

THEY'RE H.J.S. IF WE GET
CAUGHT IN HERE, WE'RE DEAD.

COME ON. COME ON.
OUT THE BACK, THE ALLEY.

WE'LL BE ALL RIGHT.

DOWN THE STAIRS. GO.

[ Whistle Blowing ]
LET'S GO.

HEIL HITLER.

[ Bannfuehrer ]
THAT IS THE JEW'S TRICK.

THE JEW WANTS YOU TO LOOK
AT HIM AS JUST ANOTHER PERSON.

BUT HE DOES NOT LOOK
AT YOU THAT WAY.

HE IS YOUR ENEMY.

DO YOU KNOW WHY ?

BECAUSE YOU ARE
SUPERIOR TO HIM.

YOU ARE SPECIAL.

YOU BELONG
TO SOMETHING SPECIAL.

HE IS YOUR BROTHER.

ALL OF YOU ARE BROTHERS.

THE SAME BLOOD
RUNS THROUGH YOUR VEINS--

THE BLOOD
OF THE GREATEST RACE...

ON THE FACE OF THIS EARTH.

HEY, BERGER.

I, UH,
JUST WANTED TO SAY...

THAT I GUESS
I STILL HAVE SOMETHING
TO LEARN ABOUT BOXING.

YOU SHOWED ME THAT STRENGTH
OF SPIRIT CAN BE JUST AS
POWERFUL AS TECHNICAL SKILLS.

HEIL HITLER !

HEIL HITLER.

[ Bannfuehrer ]
LOOK WHAT WE HAVE DONE
IN JUST SIX SHORT YEARS.

EVERY DAY YOU MUST
CARRY IT WITH YOU,

THE KNOWLEDGE
OF WHO YOU ARE.

YOU WILL CARRY IT WITH YOU.

NICE ! ALL RIGHT !
YES ! ALL RIGHT !

YOU'RE GREAT.
YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY GREAT.

AH. PETER.

GOOD. I WANTED
TO HAVE A WORD WITH YOU.

PLEASE.

WE'LL GO
IN A MOMENT.

[ Driver ]
YES, HERR SCHARFUEHRER.

WHERE ARE WE GOING ?
OH, NOWHERE.

I JUST WANTED TO, UH, TELL
YOU THAT THE REPORTS ON YOUR
PROGRESS HAVE BEEN VERY GOOD.

YOUR TRAINING
SITS WELL ON YOU.

HOW DO YOU FEEL ?
FINE. I FEEL VERY WELL.

I'M MOST GRATIFIED.
I KNEW YOU WOULD
TAKE TO IT.

I WAS ALSO THINKING
ABOUT YOUR GRANDMOTHER.

MAYBE WHAT YOU ALL NEED
IS A TRIP TO THE COUNTRY.

THE STRENGTH
THROUGH JOY MOVEMENT
PROVIDES THESE VACATIONS.

YOU KNOW, I COULD
SUBMIT AN APPLICATION.
WHAT DO YOU THINK ?

[ Sighing ]

GOOD. THEN I WILL
ARRANGE IT.
THANK YOU.

IT'S MY PLEASURE.

THAT'S EVERYTHING.
I JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU
HOW PLEASED I AM.

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

OH, AND I ALMOST
FORGOT. UH, THERE'S
ONE MORE THING.

I THINK IT WOULD BE WISE
IF YOU STOPPED WORKING
FOR THAT BOOKSELLER.

WHAT'S HIS NAME ?
HERR SCHUMLER.

- WHAT HAS HE DONE ?
- WHAT DID YOU DO FOR HIM ?

I JUST DELIVERED BOOKS.
DIDN'T IT SEEM AT ALL
STRANGE TO YOU ?

DON'T MOST PEOPLE
COME AND PICK OUT BOOKS
FOR THEMSELVES ?

IT WAS FOR OLD PEOPLE
WHO COULDN'T GO OUT.

HOW DID YOU KNOW
THEY WERE JUST BOOKS ?

DID YOU EVER OPEN THEM ?

IT'S BETTER TO KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE AGREEING TO, PETER,

BEFORE YOU BECOME
PART OF SOMETHING.

IT WAS JUST A JOB.
WE NEED THE MONEY.
OF COURSE.

HOWEVER, IF YOU DID
GO BACK AND CHECK,

AND IT TURNS OUT
THAT THERE'S NOTHING,

WELL THEN, YOU MIGHT
HELP TO CLEAR HIM.

OF COURSE, YOU MUSTN'T
LET HIM KNOW.

YOU KEEP UP
THE GOOD WORK.

I HAVE GREAT HOPES
FOR YOU.

WELL, GOOD NIGHT.

GOOD NIGHT.

AH, PETER. I'VE BEEN
WONDERING ABOUT YOU.
HERR SCHUMLER.

YOUR MOTHER TOLD ME
THAT YOU WOULDN'T BE COMING
TO ME FOR A FEW WEEKS,

BUT I WAS BEGINNING TO THINK
YOU WERE NEVER COMING BACK.

I HAVE TIME AGAIN.
REALLY ?

DON'T THEY KEEP YOU VERY BUSY
WITH ALL THOSE ACTIVITIES
AND COMPETITIONS ?

I DON'T ALWAYS HAVE TO GO.
AND I DON'T ALWAYS GO,
EVEN IF I HAVE TO.

WELL, I DON'T HAVE ANY
FOR YOU TODAY, BUT WHEN I DO--

THANK YOU.
[ Phone Ringing ]

PETER.

EXCUSE ME. CAN YOU WATCH
THE STORE FOR A MOMENT ?

HEIL HITLER.
THIS IS HERR SCHUMLER.

YES, HOW ARE YOU ?

HOW MAY I HELP YOU TODAY ?

[ Music Box Playing ]

OH, YES,
WE JUST GOT ONE IN.

THEN WE HAVE NO CHOICE.

FORGERIES.
NO, NO. DON'T COME HERE.

I UNDERSTAND, OF COURSE.

ERRING DATE OF BIRTH. WHY ?

I HAVE MY
MESSENGER BOY HERE.

I CAN SEND IT
RIGHT OVER IF YOU LIKE.

IT'S MY PLEASURE.
I HOPE YOUR MOTHER
WILL BE FEELING BETTER SOON.

BYE-BYE. PETER ?

YOU'RE IN LUCK, PETER.

I HAVE A DELIVERY FOR YOU.

[ Chiming ]

[ Door Buzzer ]

AH, PETER. THANK YOU.

IS SHE FEELING BETTER,
YOUR MOTHER ?

I'M AFRAID SHE'S
IN THE HOSPITAL,
BUT THIS WILL HELP.

[ Sighing ]

WOULD YOU LIKE
TO COME IN ?

HAVE SOME TEA ?
PERHAPS TALK ABOUT MUSIC ?

I'LL JUST PUT THE KETTLE ON
AND GET ANOTHER CUP.

**

- DO YOU PLAY ?
- NO.

NEVER ?
I DON'T ANYMORE.
I USED TO.

- WHY NOT ?
- I WASN'T ANY GOOD.

I DOUBT THAT. THE TEA
WILL BE READY IN A MINUTE.

[ Dishes Clattering ]

WHO IS THIS ?

THAT WAS MY HUSBAND.

DO YOU RECOGNIZE HIM ?

HE WAS A STUDENT
OF YOUR FATHER'S.
HIS NAME WAS CARL BOHLGREN.

AFTER HE WAS KILLED, I CHANGED
BACK TO MY MAIDEN NAME.

IT WAS SAFER.

[ Tea Kettle Hissing ]
AH, THE TEA.

[ Frau Linge ]
WE JUST HEARD HE'D GIVEN
A SPEECH AT THE UNIVERSITY...

AFTER THE EXPULSION
OF ALL THE JEWISH PROFESSORS.

- DID YOU KNOW MY FATHER ?
- NO, UNFORTUNATELY.

I MET MY HUSBAND WHILE
HE WAS STUDYING IN BERLIN.

WE DIDN'T MOVE HERE UNTIL
AFTER YOUR FATHER'S DEATH.

HE WAS A BRAVE MAN.

- MAYBE.
- WHY DO YOU SAY THAT ?

WELL, HE HAD TO KNOW WHAT THEY
WOULD DO, WHAT WOULD HAPPEN.
THE JEWS WEREN'T HIS PROBLEM.

MAYBE HE DIDN'T SEE
THEM SOLELY AS JEWS,
BUT FELLOW HUMAN BEINGS,

AND COLLEAGUES WHO WERE
BEING UNJUSTLY PERSECUTED.
WHAT DID THEY EVER DO FOR HIM ?

MAYBE THEY WERE
JUST USING HIM.
WHO TOLD YOU THAT ?

NO ONE. IT JUST MAKES
SENSE. THEY PROBABLY
DESERVED TO BE EXPELLED.

PETER, THEY DIDN'T
DO ANYTHING.

WELL, I DON'T KNOW THAT.
HOW DO YOU KNOW ?

THEY WERE EXPELLED.
THEY MUST HAVE DONE SOMETHING.

I'M SURE IT'S ALL BEEN
VERY DIFFICULT FOR YOU.
IF YOUR FATHER COULD--

MY FATHER LEFT US WITHOUT
ANYTHING, AND MY MOTHER HAD
TO GO TO WORK IN A FACTORY.

DON'T TELL ME ABOUT
THINGS THAT I KNOW.

I HAVE TO GO NOW.

[ Peter Recalling Voices ]

[ Knopp ]
IT'S BETTER TO KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE AGREEING TO, PETER.

[ Frau Linge ] PETER,
THEY DIDN'T DO ANYTHING.
MAYBE THEY WERE JUST USING HIM.

[ Knopp ] HOW DID YOU KNOW
THEY WERE JUST BOOKS ?
THEY MUST HAVE DONE SOMETHING.

[ Frau Muller ]
YOU MUST LEARN
TO STEEL YOURSELF.

YOU CANNOT LET YOUR FEELINGS
OVERCOME YOU.

[ Man ]
OKAY, SWING BOY, YOU'RE DEAD !
[ Grunting ]

HA ! YOU'RE PISSING
IN YOUR PANTS.

DAMN IT, THOMAS ! YOU CAN
BE A REAL BASTARD SOMETIMES.

HEY, RELAX. IT WAS A JOKE.

IT WASN'T FUNNY.
ALL RIGHT, I'M SORRY.

CALM DOWN. I'M SORRY.
ALL RIGHT.

I WAS JUST RIDING BY.

DON'T YOU WANNA KNOW
WHAT I WAS RIDING BY ON ?

LOOK. IT'S MINE.

- WHERE DID YOU GET IT ?
- EMIL GOT ME INTO
THE MOTORIZED H.J.

THEY JUST GAVE IT TO ME.
YOU BELIEVE THAT ?

I KNOW IT
DOESN'T LOOK LIKE MUCH,
BUT IT CAN REALLY FLY.

WANNA TAKE A SPIN ?

NO, NOT RIGHT NOW.

IT'S BEEN LIKE
I SAID, HASN'T IT ?
WE HAVE IT BOTH WAYS.

WHAT COULD BE BETTER ?
I DON'T KNOW.

THERE'S NOTHING TO KNOW.
IT'S EASY. WE JUST PLAY ALONG,
AND WE GET WHATEVER WE WANT.

I KNOW, THOMAS.

DID THEY TELL YOU
TO TALK TO ME ?

WHAT ?

DID THEY TELL YOU
TO TALK TO ME ?

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU ?
WHAT DID YOU SAY THAT FOR ?

WHAT DID YOU-- YOU LOSIN'--
WHAT DID YOU SAY THAT FOR ?

YOU'VE JUST BEEN LISTENING
TO ARVID TOO MUCH.

YOU KNOW, ARVID LOOKS
AT EVERYTHING BACKWARDS.
HE'S A WEIRDO.

- YEAH, MAYBE.
- NO, NOT MAYBE.
DEFINITELY.

[ Sighing ]

- COME ON. JUST ONCE
AROUND THE BLOCK.
- NO, SOME OTHER TIME. REALLY.

ALL RIGHT.

HEY.

DON'T THROW YOURSELF IN.

[ H.J. ]
HERR KEHLER,
THE STORE OWNER, IS ALWAYS...

GROUSING AND COMPLAINING
ABOUT THE LACK OF RAW MATERIALS.

HE SAID THEY'RE BEING USED UP
BY THE ARMY AND THIS IS HURTING
ALL THE SMALL BUSINESSMEN.

[ Bannfuehrer ]
VERY GOOD, STAHLECKER.
THANK YOU. BERGER.

I'VE OVERHEARD MY FATHER
MANY TIMES SPEAKING OUT
AGAINST THE FUEHRER.

HE SAYS HE'S A MADMAN
WHO'S DRAGGING THE WHOLE
COUNTRY DOWN WITH HIM.

DID HE SUGGEST ANY COURSE
OF ACTION TO REMEDY THIS ?

NO. MY FATHER'S TOO WEAK.
HE JUST TALKS.

HMM. TALK CAN SPREAD.

MULLER ?

I HAVE NOTHING TO REPORT.

[ Radio ]
THROUGHOUT GERMANY TODAY THERE
WAS A FEELING OF GREAT PRIDE...

AND APPRECIATION FOR
THE FUEHRER'S BOLD ACTION...

TO ENSURE THE SAFETY
OF OUR GERMAN BROTHERS
IN THE SUDETENLAND.

THE CZECH ARMY OFFERED NO
RESISTANCE TO THE OVERWHELMING
STRENGTH SHOWED BY OUR FORCES.

THERE HAVE ALSO BEEN
NUMEROUS REPORTS OF SPONTANEOUS
CELEBRATION BY THE CZECH PEOPLE.

MANY POURED OUT INTO THE STREETS
TO GREET OUR BRAVE SOLDIERS...

AND TO EXPRESS GRATITUDE AND
RELIEF FOR THEIR LIBERATION.

TODAY A MEETING WAS HELD
BETWEEN FOREIGN MINISTER
VON RIPPENTROP...

AND THE PRESIDENT
OF CZECHOSLOVAKIA.

VON RIPPENTROP EXPRESSED THAT,
IN THE FUEHRER'S WORDS,

IT SHOULD NOW BE CLEAR
TO ALL NATIONS...

THAT GERMANY STANDS
READY TO PROTECT MEMBERS
OF THE GERMAN RACE,

NO MATTER ACROSS WHAT BORDER
THEY MAY LIVE.

** [ Swing Music ]

**

YEAH !
[ Indistinct Cheering ]

**

HE'S HIS OLD SELF AGAIN.

HE'S SUPER-MERGENTROID.

BUT HE STILL CAN'T PLAY
ASCENDING OCTAVES.

**

**

OW ! SMOOTH !

HEY, FLY BOY !
YOU HAVE ANY DOGFIGHTS YET ?

NO, BUT WE'LL GET
OUR CHANCE SOON ENOUGH.

CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT ?
JUST UP THERE FLYING AROUND.

[ Helga ]
HMM-HMM. I'D GET DIZZY.

THE LUFTWAFFE WOULD
LIKE TO REQUEST A SONG,
AND I WANT YOU TO PLAY IT.

PETER !
WHAT ABOUT IT ?
WAIT A MINUTE.

TELL HIM...
WE PLAY WHAT WE WANNA PLAY.

AND IF HE DOESN'T LIKE IT,
HE CAN GO SOMEPLACE ELSE.

YOU'LL GO SOMEPLACE
ELSE AFTER TONIGHT !

BUT RIGHT NOW,
I AM PAYING YOU, AND YOU
WILL PLAY WHAT I SAY !

DJANGOMAN,
LET'S JUST PLAY THE SONG.
THINK OF THE BAND.

I DON'T PLAY FOR MONEY.
THAT'S GOOD.

BECAUSE I'LL SEE TO IT
YOU NEVER PLAY ANY CLUBS AGAIN !

HEY, WHAT'S THE MATTER
WITH YOU ?

WE LIKED YOUR MUSIC.
WE ONLY WANTED TO HEAR
ONE GOOD GERMAN SONG.

THERE ARE NO MORE
GERMAN SONGS.
ONLY NAZI SONGS !

- LET'S JUST GO, ARVID.
- WAIT A SECOND !

YOU WANNA HEAR A SONG
FOR THE FATHERLAND ?

PLAY IT YOURSELF.

TAKE IT.

TAKE IT !

WHAT'S THE MATTER
WITH ALL OF YOU ?

CAN'T YOU SEE
WHAT'S HAPPENING ?
ARE YOU AFRAID TO LOOK ?

WE ARE MURDERING AUSTRIANS.

NEXT IT WILL BE THE CZECHS,
AND THEN THE POLES,

NOT TO MENTION
THE GYPSIES AND THE JEWS.
IT'S UNMENTIONABLE !

YOU THINK... THAT JUST BECAUSE
YOU'RE NOT DOING IT YOURSELF
THAT YOU'RE NOT A PART OF IT ?

WELL, I'M SICK...
AND TIRED OF DOING MY PART !

AND NOW YOU
WANT TO HEAR A SONG.

YOU NEED SOMEONE
TO LIFT YOUR MORALE !
WELL, I WON'T !

I WON'T.

[ Indistinct Chatter ]

HERR HITMAN !
WAIT UP !

DJANGOMAN.
ARVID !

MY NAME IS ARVID.

"DJANGOMAN," "HERR HITMAN."
HOW COULD I HAVE BEEN
SUCH AN IDIOT ?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN ?
YOU'VE BEEN PRACTICING
FOR TONIGHT FOR WEEKS.

HE ONLY WANTED TO HEAR
ONE SONG.

IT'S NOT JUST ONE SONG
OR THAT SONG.
DON'T YOU SEE ?

ANY TIME YOU GO ALONG WITH THEM,
ANY TIME YOU TRY TO HELP THEM,
IT JUST MAKES IT EASIER.

ARVID !
WHAT THE HELL'S
THE MATTER WITH YOU ?

WHAT WAS THAT SPEECH ALL ABOUT,
THE JEWS AND THE GYPSIES ?

WHAT ABOUT THE CRIPPLES
AND THE RETARDS ? YOU KNOW,
THAT'S WHO YOU BELONG WITH.

I WOULD RATHER BELONG
TO ANYONE, ANYONE...

THAN BELONG TO THE NAZIS
LIKE YOU DO.

YEAH, WELL, THAT'S BECAUSE
YOU'VE GOT EVERYTHING BACKWARDS.

YOU ALWAYS SAID I WAS
THE STUPID ONE.

NAZIS GO ANYWHERE THEY WANT,
DO ANYTHING THEY PLEASE.
EVERYBODY GETS OUT OF OUR WAY !

SO, WHO'S THE SMART ONE,
EH, DJANGOMAN ?

YOU KNOW, IF I WERE YOU,
I WOULDN'T WORRY ABOUT
ANYBODY BUT MYSELF...

BECAUSE WE'RE COMING
AFTER YOU NEXT.

QUIZ TIME.

- "GOT YOUR GLASSES ON."
- WHAT ?

IT MEANS YOU DON'T KNOW
WHO YOUR FRIENDS ARE.

I CAN'T BELIEVE I USED TO
FEEL SORRY FOR THAT TRAITOR.

YOU'RE A REAL BASTARD !
WHAT THE HELL'S
GOTTEN INTO YOU ?

- WHAT'S GOTTEN INTO ME ?
- YES, YOU !

WHAT THE HELL
WAS THAT ALL ABOUT ?

THOSE THINGS
YOU WERE SAYING.
I WAS SAYING ?

I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT WAS--
YOU DON'T REALLY BELIEVE ALL
THAT PROPAGANDA, DO YOU ?

PETER, HE'S THE ONE WHO'S GOT
HIS HEAD FULL OF PROPAGANDA.

DID YOU HEAR HIM ?
HE WAS ACTUALLY
DEFENDING THE JEWS.

BUT BENNY IS JEWISH.

YEAH ? AND SEE WHAT
THAT MUSIC'S DONE TO ARVID ?

- IT'S PERVERTED HIS BRAIN.
LOOK AT HIM.
- WHAT ?

I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS.
ARVID'S RIGHT ABOUT YOU.

AH, YOU ALWAYS TAKE HIS SIDE.
YOU ALWA TAKE HIS SIDE !
I'M NOT TAKING HIS SIDE.

- WHETHER HE'S RIGHT OR WRONG,
YOU ALWAYS TAKE HIS SIDE !
- I'M NOT-- WELL, HE IS RIGHT !

LISTEN TO YOURSELF !

- YOU'RE TURNING
INTO A FUCKING NAZI !
- OH, SO WHAT IF I AM ?

OH, THAT'S RIGHT. I'M SORRY,
I FORGOT. YOUR FATHER WAS
A JEW LOVER TOO, WASN'T HE ?

COME ON !

MAN, I'LL KILL YOU !
DON'T, PETER.

DON'T. PETER, STOP IT !
THOMAS, STOP IT !
GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME !

COME ON ! GIVE UP !
COME ON, LET GO !

THY ROD AND THY STAFF,
THEY COMFORT ME.

THOU PREPAREST
A TABLE BEFORE ME...

IN THE PRESENCE
OF MINE ENEMIES.

THOU ANOINTEST
MY HEAD WITH OIL.

MY CUP RUNNETH OVER.

SURELY, GOODNESS AND MERCY...

SHALL FOLLOW ME
ALL THE DAYS OF MY LIFE,

AND I WILL DWELL IN THE HOUSE
OF THE LORD... FOREVER.

AMEN.

[ Knopp ]
SO I SENT OUT MY DRIVER,
ADMITTEDLY A MISTAKE,

AND HE BRINGS BACK, UH,
FRENCH SAUSAGE, POLISH WINE...

AND GREEK CHOCOLATE.
[ Laughing ]

THE DELICATE MATTERS
YOU MUST ALWAYS
ATTEND TO YOURSELF.

I CAN'T REMEMBER
WHEN WE'VE EATEN SO WELL.
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO THANK YOU.

IT IS ENTIRELY MY PLEASURE.
IT'S NOT OFTEN THAT I GET
TO SHARE THE HOSPITALITY...

OF SUCH CHARMING COMPANY.

THANK YOU.

AND THANK YOU AGAIN
FOR THE BEAUTIFUL RADIO.

WE'VE ALL BEEN
ENJOYING IT SO MUCH.

WELL, I KNOW HOW FOND
THIS FAMILY IS OF MUSIC.

YOU'VE HARDLY
TOUCHED YOUR FOOD.
I'M ALL RIGHT.

**

ARE YOU SURE YOUR MOTHER-IN-LAW
WOULDN'T LIKE TO JOIN US ?
YES. IT'S NOT THAT.

IT'S JUST THAT
NONE OF THESE RICH FOODS
WOULD BE GOOD FOR HER.

- BUT SHE'S SO LOOKING
FORWARD TO OUR VACATION.
- GOOD.

TO THE REICH.

TO THE REICH.

**

- CAN I HAVE SOME WINE ?
- WILLI !

[ Knopp ]
SURELY IT WOULDN'T BE TERRIBLE
TO LET HIM TRY A LITTLE.

JUST THIS ONCE ?

**

NOW... JUST A LITTLE.

YOU DRINK IT SLOWLY, SON.

**

- MMM.
- [ Laughter ]

**

PETER, WON'T YOU JOIN US,
PLEASE ? HAVE SOME WINE.
IT'S A CURATIVE.

KEEPING THE BODY FREE
OF FOREIGN ELEMENTS,
WHATEVER THEY MIGHT BE,

IS THE CENTRAL PRINCIPLE IN
OUR FUEHRER'S WELTANSCHAUUNG.

DRINK MAKES US WEAK.
STRENGTH COMES FROM PURITY.

**

WELL, IT'S GRATIFYING
TO KNOW THAT
THE HITLERJUGEND...

ARE STILL TRAINING THEIR
RECRUITS SO EFFECTIVELY.

IF ONLY I WAS
A LITTLE YOUNGER, I'D HAVE NOT
ACQUIRED ALL THESE BAD HABITS.

COMFORT IS THE CURSE OF AGE.
EVERYONE IN GERMANY,
REGARDLESS OF AGE,

MUST ASPIRE TO
THE HIGHEST PRINCIPLES
OF NATIONAL SOCIALISM.

- PETER, DON'T BE RUDE.
- NO, NO. HE'S QUITE RIGHT.
GO ON, SON.

WHAT ELSE ABOUT ME DO YOU

POLISH SAUSAGE, FRENCH WINE,
SWISS CHOCOLATE.

I WOULD BE MORE SATISFIED
WITH JUST GOOD GERMAN FARE.

**

AND THE MUSIC.

** [ Changing From Swing
To German March Music ]

WHAT KIND OF LOYAL
NATIONAL SOCIALIST WOULD
LISTEN TO ANYTHING ELSE ?

I WON'T HAVE YOU TALKING
THIS WAY TO OUR GUEST.
YOU MUST APOLOGIZE.

OH, NO. NO APOLOGIES.
HE HAS FOUND ME OUT.

WELL, PETER,
YOU MUST REPORT ME.

WELL, SURELY, THEY WOULD
NOT ALLOW ME TO REMAIN
AT MY POST IF THEY KNEW.

[ Sighing ]

HOW I ENVY THE YOUNG.
FOR THEM, EVERYTHING
IS SO CLEAR.

THINGS SEEM TO BE EITHER
ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.

IT'S ONLY WITH A LITTLE AGE
THAT YOU BEGIN TO SEE LIFE
AS A SERIES OF COMPROMISES.

BUT, EVEN IN COMPROMISING,
ONE MUST DRAW A LINE.

AND I SEE THAT I HAVE STRAYED
FROM DUTY FAR ENOUGH.

THANK YOU, PETER. IT IS
TRUE WHAT OUR FUEHRER SAYS.

IN GERMANY TODAY, IT IS
OUR YOUTH WHO LEAD THE WAY.

NOW, REGRETTABLY,
I MUST LEAVE. DEAR LADY,
IT HAS BEEN DELIGHTFUL.

YOU WON'T STAY
FOR THE COFFEE ?
EXCUSE ME.

NO, I MUST GO.
THANK YOU.
I'LL SEE YOU TO THE DOOR.

GOOD NIGHT.

I DON'T KNOW
WHAT'S COME OVER YOU.

HE'S DONE SO MUCH FOR YOU.

FOR US.

HERR HINTZ, I COULD UNDERSTAND,
BUT HERR KNOPP, HE'S A GOOD MAN.

- MAMA, HE'S A NAZI.
- AND WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT ?

THE WHOLE COUNTRY IS NAZI !

- HE ASKED ME TO SPY
ON HERR SCHUMLER.
- HE MUST HAVE HAD A REASON.

I WILL NOT HAVE HIM
SITTING OR SLEEPING
WHERE MY FATHER DID.

UGH !

YOU WANT TO END UP
LIKE HIM ?

ALL HIS GREAT PRINCIPLES.

WHAT GOOD DID THEY DO US ?

WHAT GOOD DID THEY DO
ANYONE, INCLUDING HIM ?

IN THE END, HE COULDN'T
BEAR TO LOOK AT HIS OWN FACE
IN THE MIRROR.

BY THE TIME THE GESTAPO
HAD FINISHED, HE WAS
A HOLLOW, LITTLE MAN,

WILLING TO SAY OR SIGN
ANYTHING TO STOP THE PAIN.

THEY'RE GONNA TAKE YOU AWAY,
JUST LIKE THEY TOOK PAPA.

COME HERE.

NOBODY'S GOING
TO TAKE ME AWAY.

EVERYTHING'S GONNA
BE ALL RIGHT.

BESIDES...

I'VE GOT YOU TO PROTECT ME.

AND I WOULD.

[ Knocking ]

YES ?
GESTAPO.
WHERE'S DR. BERGER ?

HEIL HITLER.

DIETRICH BERGER,
YOU'LL COME WITH US
FOR QUESTIONING.

QUESTIONING ?

ABOUT WHAT ?
THERE MUST BE A MISTAKE.

NO MISTAKE.
YOU'LL COME
WITH US NOW.

WHAT'S HAPPENING ? YOU CAN'T
JUST TAKE HIM WITH YOU.
SHH, MAY I GET A FEW THINGS ?

NO, YOU WON'T BE
NEEDING ANYTHING.
YOU'LL BE BACK IN THE MORNING.

HEIL HITLER.

THOMAS.

[ Man ]
DEUTSCHE !
DEUTSCHE HITLERJUGEND !

NATIONAL SOCIALISM
IS HUMANITY'S...

GREATEST EXPERIENCE.

MAN'S SALVATION
IS IN OUR HANDS !

AND THE HITLERJUGEND ARE
THE GUARANTORS OF THAT FUTURE.

YOU ARE THE LIFEBLOOD
OF GERMANY.

WOE TO THOSE
WHO DO NOT UNDERSTAND.

THREE TIMES WOE
TO THOSE WHO OPPOSE YOU.
SIEG HEIL !

- SIEG HEIL !
- SIEG HEIL !

SIEG HEIL !
SIEG HEIL !

SIEG HEIL !

[ Thomas ]
HE GAVE ME THIS GREAT KNIFE.
DID PETER TELL YOU ABOUT IT ?

IT'S BEAUTIFUL.
WANNA TAKE A LOOK AT THE KNIFE ?

BE CAREFUL.
[ Willi ] DID YOU EVER
HURT SOMEONE WITH IT ?

NO.

HEY, WHERE YOU BEEN ?
HI, PETER.

BEEN WAITING FOR YA.
DID MAMA GET BACK YET ?

NO. THOMAS WAS JUST
SHOWING ME HIS KNIFE.
GIVE IT TO HIM.

- GIVE HIM BACK THE KNIFE !
- GIVE ME THE KNIFE.

WILLI, PETER AND I NEED
TO TALK FOR A MINUTE.

GO ON.

- HE'S GONNA MAKE
A FINE SOLDIER SOMEDAY.
- I HOPE NOT.

YEAH, WELL...
THE WAY WE WALKED
INTO CZECHOSLOVAKIA...

HE'LL PROBABLY NEVER EVEN
HAVE TO FIGHT ANYONE--
WHAT DO YOU WANT ?

NOTHING. I JUST
WANTED TO TALK.

ABOUT WHAT ?

I'M JUST WORRIED ABOUT THE WAY
YOU'VE BEEN ACTING LATELY.

I KNOW ARVID'S DEATH
SHOOK YOU UP, BUT YOU'VE
GOTTA FORGET ABOUT IT.

- FORGET ABOUT IT ?
- YEAH. YOU'VE GOT TO.

HE'S JUST ONE PERSON.
HE WAS OUR FRIEND.

IT DOESN'T MATTER.

PETER, YOU CAN'T
SAVE EVERYBODY.

THERE ARE MORE IMPORTANT THINGS.
ANY TIME, WE COULD BE AT WAR.

IF YOU SIDE WITH THE NAZIS,
THEN WE'RE AT WAR.

YOU AND ME, THOMAS.

I'M NOT GOING TO FORGET ABOUT
ARVID. THEY MURDERED HIM.
THEY MURDERED MY FATHER !

WAIT A SECOND.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT ?
ARVID KILLED HIMSELF.

- ARVID WAS A CRIPPLE.
HE DIDN'T BELONG.
- WHAT'S HAPPENED TO YOU ?

HE WAS A CRIPPLE ?

HE KILLED HIMSELF BECAUSE
HE DIDN'T WANT TO BECOME
A MURDERER. DON'T YOU SEE--

PETER, STOP TALKING THIS WAY !
JUST STOP IT !

YOU GOTTA GO ALONG,
MAKE THE BEST OF THINGS.

THEY WANT US TO SPY
ON OUR OWN PARENTS.
DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND ?

GOD KNOWS WHAT ELSE
THEY'LL DO !

PETER, WE'RE NOT IN CHARGE.
WE CAN'T KNOW WHAT'S
REALLY GOING ON.

- THEY'RE EVIL, THOMAS !
- SHUT UP !
I'M NOT HEARING THIS !

YOU DON'T KNOW
WHAT YOU'RE SAYING !

DO YOU WANT ME TO REP--

JUST GO ALONG. JUST MAKE
THE BEST OF THINGS.

IT IS AN HONOR
TO BE CHOSEN FOR THIS
DETAIL, HERR MULLER.

YOU WILL ANSWER
NO QUESTIONS.

JUST MAKE SURE YOU
DELIVER THESE PACKAGES...

TO WHOM THEY ARE INTENDED.

HEIL HITLER.
HEIL HITLER.

FRAU BLACHMANN.
YOU ARE TO HAVE THIS.

YOU ARE TO TAKE IT.

HELLO ?

GIVE THIS TO YOUR MOTHER.
IS IT A PRESENT ?

LINDSAY !
WHO ARE YOU TALKING TO ?

- WHAT DO YOU WANT ?
- YOU ARE TO HAVE THIS.

WHAT IS IT ?
IS IT SOMETHING TO DO
WITH MY HUSBAND ?

WHEN IS HE COMING HOME ?

- WHAT HAVE YOU DONE
TO HIM ?
- YOU ARE TO TAKE IT.

HEIL HITLER.

[ Woman Screaming ]
OH, MY GOD !
NO ! NO ! AAAH !

AAAH !

NO-O-O-O !

FRAU LINGE !

IT'S PETER MULLER.
[ Knocking ]

FRAU LINGE, PLEASE !

[ Knocking ]

PETER, I CAN'T SEE YOU NOW.
PLEASE, I HAVE TO
TALK TO YOU.

WHAT IS IT ?

PLEASE.

ALL RIGHT, COME IN.

SLOWLY, SLOW.

[ Coughing ]

THEY KILLED
ALL THEIR FATHERS.

[ Sighing ]

WHAT, PETER ?

ASHES.

I DELIVERED THEIR ASHES.

MY FRIEND...
KILLED HIMSELF.

AND MY MOTHER DOESN'T--

BUT I WAS SO SCARED.
I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I--

IT'S ALL RIGHT.
IT'S NOT ALL RIGHT.

IT'S NOT ALL RIGHT !

I'M SORRY.
I'M SO SORRY !

THE NIGHT THEY CAME
AND TOOK MY FATHER AWAY,
WE WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF DINNER.

WE WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF DINNER,
AND THEY JUST CAME IN.

AND WE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING.

HE TOLD US
NOT TO DO ANYTHING. HE--

HE WAS... SO CALM.

HE DIDN'T SEEM SCARED
AT ALL. AND, AND--

WHEN THEY BROUGHT HIM BACK
FOUR MONTHS LATER,

I WASN'T SURE IT WAS HIM,
HE LOOKED SO DIFFERENT.

HE, HE WAS SO WEAK,
HE COULDN'T EVEN SPEAK.

AND HE DIDN'T GO
NEAR HIS VIOLIN.

HE WAS SO SCARED,
HE WOULDN'T LEAVE THE HOUSE
AND PICK UP THE TELEPHONE--

AND I--

I JUST-- I DON'T--
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY
COULD HAVE DONE TO HIM.

MY PAPA. HE WAS--

HE WAS SO BRAVE.

HE, HE WAS...

WONDERFUL.

I FOUND SOMETHING AFTER
YOU LEFT THE LAST TIME.

IT'S A LETTER FROM YOUR
FATHER TO MY HUSBAND.

SHALL I READ IT TO YOU ?

"WE MUST ALL TAKE
RESPONSIBILITY FOR WHAT IS
HAPPENING TO OUR COUNTRY.

"IF THOSE OF US WHO HAVE
A VOICE DO NOT RAISE IT
IN OUTRAGE...

"AT THE TREATMENT OF OUR FELLOW
HUMAN BEINGS, WE WILL HAVE
COLLABORATED IN THEIR DOOM.

"IT IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH
TO RAISE THESE VOICES
IN OUR HOMES.

"MANY GERMANS DO THIS.

"BUT OUTSIDE THEIR DOORS
ALL THEY HEAR IS
HITLER'S VOICE OF HATE,

HIS PROMISES OF GLORY."

HE GOES ON LATER
IN THE LETTER
TO TALK ABOUT YOU.

"EVERY DAY I LOOK
AT MY SON, MY PETER,

"AND HE'S GROWN
A LITTLE BIT BIGGER.

"HE'S ALREADY
BECOMING A MAN.

"AND WHAT CURIOSITY.
ALWAYS ASKING QUESTIONS.

"QUESTION AFTER QUESTION,

"UNTIL HE FULLY UNDERSTANDS
THE ANSWER.

"THE SIGHT OF HIS
SMALL FACE,

"STRONG AND HOPEFUL,

"AWAKENING TO THE WORLD
AROUND HIM, IS WHAT
KEEPS ME GOING.

"IT IS WHEN I THINK
OF HIM...

THAT I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING
MUST BE DONE."

YOU MUST GO NOW, PETER.
I MUST GO.

AND YOU MUST BE STRONG.

WE'LL MEET AGAIN.
