We stay here better, Hugo. Come what may.

If you want to hang out on the gallows, stay.

Do not say stupid things. We need to escape to the American.

Says Moscow.

Order of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief.

May 1, 1945.

Gone are the past and more difficult times will not return,

When the Red Army fought back, from enemy troops

near Moscow and Leningrad, near Grozny and Stalingrad.

Now our victorious troops are smashing the enemy's armed forces

in the center of Germany, far beyond Berlin, on the Elbe River.

Forward! For the final defeat of Hitler's Germany!

Ahtung, ahtung. Ludwig 24.

My God, we're late! Everybody left.

What does it mean?

Quiet. I need to stay, go with Walter, you still have time.

We're not going anywhere! Did you hear what I said?!

Comrade General, permit me to turn. Yes.

Allies, Americans. - Yes interesting. Here is the last day of the war

- second front have seen. - Okay.

- Firework! - Respect!

- Victor! - Victory!

Comrades, people of the whole world could live like this.

How so? Should I ruin, or what? No, so amicably. With certainty.

Yes, we could. If they did not get in the way.

Look at this idyll, gentlemen. These are the worst consequences of the war.

- Healthy! - Hello!

I am glad to welcome the valiant allied soldiers,

who fought for the common cause. "Major James Hill." - Major Kuzmin.

Jerry!

For a representative of the great army that struck the world

their strength and courage. "For the glory of the allied banners!"

Father, grandfather! Oh oh. Granddad.

This is whose apartment? - This is my house. "Last name?" - Otto Dietrich.

Ernst Smetau. The son-in-law is Mr. Dietrich. Elsa, my wife and his daughter.

Okay.

The house will be occupied by Major Kuzmin, okay? Go back.

It is necessary to move closer.

All... It's over.

Good-bye, Major. Maybe we'll never see each other again.

Yes, what a happiness it is: To know that the war will soon end

and you will return home. "Home, yes."

And I will remove this military uniform. After all, I'm a teacher, not an officer.

Listen, do you have a ruble? - Ruble? Yes. Here, chervonets.

Give it to me. As a memory of our meeting on the Elbe.

Well, write something. And I'll give you a dollar.

I beg.

Take this American cross-country vehicle,

for which there are no barriers throughout the world.

This chervonets is more expensive than a million,

for the friendship of soldiers can not be bought for any money.

Wow.

I beg. - Senk yu. - You are welcome. "Excellent binoculars." Senk yu.

The Germans have excellent binoculars. "It's a Soviet binocular, General."

Optical plant OGPU. "Oh... the GPU."

Through this binoculars you can see everything as in the palm of your hand. - Yes, it is a tested brand.

Tomi! - Here is our proposal: Tomorrow at 12 o'clock will meet representatives.

"Who is your commandant at Altenstadt, General?"

Major James Hill, and you? Commandant of the Soviet zone.

Major Nikita Ivanovich Kuzmin. Okay.

Hello, Major.

Good health, comrade general. "What are you looking at there?"

The Germans are attacking. - What is it? This is the key to the city. Show.

Take it to the museum.

This is already the past. Now we need a key to the soul of the German people.

For 12 years they breathed a fascist poison. This can not be forgotten.

Sorry. Comrade senior. Yes Yes?

Here the nuns say that the commandant allowed them to open the church.

But they do not have lamp oil.

And where do I get lamp oil? Tell them the light is fuel for the lamp.

Yes, I do. - So, citizens of a nun. And machine-gun oil will do?

Tell them what's right. It's okay. Hello, 33!

Zahvatkin, listen. This I say. Now two nuns will come to you.

Give them machine gun oil. We need weapons oil for the lamp.

- I beg. - Bye.

Mr. Russian! Mr. Russian! It lies under my bed absolutely dirty.

Can I wash it? "Who's that under your bed?"

I did not put it. I'm afraid to touch him, he can kill.

I ask, who is lying under your bed? The projectile. Such a large projectile.

Oh please. He does not interfere. But it's absolutely dirty. Can you wash it cute?

I do not advise. You are welcome.

Send sappers. Give the address.

You are welcome. Please, Sylerov 22, please. I beg.

- Mister soldiers. - Yes.

My name is Schulz, an optical plant worker.

Here, they delayed.

Comrade Popov! Take him to Major Berendeyev.

Mister soldiers. - Yes. "Our factory is intact."

The workers are waiting for your order. What to do next? - What to do?

Well, it's clear what to do. Work! And this is what you have, the Rot Front?

Yes. He guarded 13 years. Yes. You need to see Captain Glukhov.

Mr. Chief. Yes Yes. The thing is, I'm a conductor.

The fact is that music is not needed now. But we want to work. We are 30 people.

Please determine to some place.

Is that why music is not needed right now? So... Do you have a tool?

There is. - Pugovkin! - I! - Who is in charge of the department of culture?

Ivanov. - Ivanov! - I. "Make out the orchestra." - there is.

To Sergeant Ivanov. I ask you to. "Mister is the commandant." - Yes.

I work as a manufacturer. And I'm talking about my daughter.

I remember all your words, Comrade General,

and I will understand them not only with my head, but also with my heart.

And now for work. The Germans will help you.

Those Germans who did not bow their heads to the fascists.

It is necessary to release political prisoners from the city prison.

Hooray!

Kurt!

Your name?

Kraus. Helmut Kraus. Helmut Kraus, number 393. Please.

Attracted for the Gestapo, an active anti-fascist. - Yes Yes. - You are free.

Thank you. Thank you. Congratulations on the victory.

Comrades, we were sentenced to death.

The great army of the Soviet Union liberated us.

Long live the Red Army! "Long live the Soviet Union!"

We, the German Communists and social democrats,

we swear to the German people,

that it will strengthen the unity of the working class and all working people.

And build our new, free, democratic fatherland!

What is your name, comrade? Kurt Dietrich.

Dietrich? Do you have relatives in Altenstadt? Engineer Dietrich.

Its my father. "Does he know that you are here?"

When I joined the Communist Youth League, my father forbade me...

He kicked me out of the house. I see.

Heinrich Heine? Yes. The fascists destroyed his monument.

Can we count on the German social democrats

will they create a special Oriental bureau? Of course.

Which will not allow the unification of workers' parties

and undermine confidence in the Communists. I see.

We hope that members of your party in the Soviet zone

help in collecting information about the Russians,

which cause our curiosity. Well, we will provide money and support.

Optical plants of your concern on the other side of the river

did not suffer. Our pilots are good fellows.

American pilots are not far-sighted. The Russians were the first to enter Altenstadt.

The Russians will leave sooner or later. Our business is to disrupt dismantling

and gather specialists. Drink whiskey. Thank you.

Is there information about Frank? Not yet. In the eastern zone.

Do they know that he is a Nazi? "Very few people know him here."

Very well. In our time it's better to be in the shade. - Why?

Hard times, Hugo.

Hello? General McDermott is listening.

Stanley! What?

30% retired German owners.

We're the winners, damn it.

What is it? The bull and the girl? Just like the sign of our division. Bison and the girl.

This is the "Abduction of Europe". Very expensive Italian painting.

Yes? I see that the picture is expensive. Tom, mark and do not mix.

Hello!

Hello, Stanley? Another stake in Opel.

Take, take, take. Who does not like the prices? So give them half.

5 thousand dollars for organizational expenses you will receive.

I count on the German Social Democrats to talk,

but business. And it's time for you to return to the Soviet zone.

But what about the allied agreements?

Mister Major, I received your order for the dismantling of the laboratory.

Yes, this is my order.

Mister Major, I'm used to talking to you frankly.

You like to talk about the unity of Germany, about its restoration,

about the flowering, and they themselves ruin it. How cruel!

Do you dare to talk about cruelty? And what did your army do

on Soviet soil? - I have nothing to do with this. My laboratories...

Your laboratories helped the fascists

to prepare weapons of murder. And if I want to take these guns away,

then this requires a whole world. - But these laboratories are more than 100 years old.

They have grown into the land of Germany! "Our cities, destroyed by the fascists,"

stood a thousand years! If we took out all of your Germany,

up to the last lantern, it would not reimburse a tenth of that damage,

which you caused to my homeland.

Think not of the past of Germany. Think about her future.

And your past is ruins, blood and shame.

Calm down, gentlemen. This is blowing up the artillery depot.

Do not be distracted from work.

One cigarette.

Thank you, Ernst Smetau. "Mr. Sirk?" - Kraus.

Today Helmut Kraus.

Sit down.

I can not admit you. I'm an antifascist, I was in prison.

The troops of the Soviet army released me.

Where have you been?? In the concentration camp Altenstadt.

Do not worry, everything has already passed. - I do not worry.

Sorry. I'm so happy that I met you. It will be easier for me now.

Any instructions?

Yes. My daughter managed to escape from the Nazis to America.

She is alive? "I'm alive." What is her name?

I do not know yet.

Good morning.

Good morning, Major. "I know, Mr. Dietrich,"

that you keep the patents of military optics.

Yes. But I will not give it to you.

Do you consider them your personal property?

No. I consider them the property of Germany.

And I will not give them to you, even if you send me to Siberia.

Which property of Germany? Fascist?

Mister Major, if I say that I have long despised the Nazis,

you will find it a move on my part. And so that you do not think so,

I will tell you that I do not like them as much as you. "Thank you for your frankness."

Whom do you love? Germany. So.

Thank you, Mr. Major, for letting me use the books.

Tell me, do you think that Germany should pay debts?

Yes. Hence, it is necessary. But let it be reparations, not military trophies.

We Germans love order. If we pay,

want to get at least a receipt. Our aspirations coincide.

We also love order. But can you guarantee me that before reparation is established

your patents will not fall into third hands?

The only guarantees that I can give you, this is my word.

Well, that's enough for me.

Thank you. I will keep my word.

It is important for us that your patents do not serve for the purposes of war.

We are fighting for peace. "Comrade Major." - Yes.

Allow me to apply. - Yes. "The American commandant has arrived."

I'm coming. - I would like to believe you. Risk it.

I think you will not go wrong.

Healthy! Major Kuzmin?

Major Hill. Hello. I ask you to. - Thank you.

Still went home. "Yes, dammit."

Now, therefore, we are neighbors. Yes. And how do you call it? ..

Yes, I am entering a socialist competition.

And I have a case for you, Major.

We need to make a demarcation of circles with you, damn it.

Yes, there are many cases. In many ways you need to understand.

Please come in." You are welcome.

Diplomatic cover for two persons. Please, settle down.

First, "let's drink whiskey." "Well, if it's a drink, it's better to drink vodka."

Vodka? Vodka! .. Please. "Ain moment, ain moment."

You are welcome. You are welcome.

I beg. - Oh well. Please please. Goodbye.

- Be healthy. - Nothing.

Gorilka! - Look at you! He was born in America, but you know our gorilka.

Trochs of the rose. Bo I am Ukrainian from the city of Poltava.

This is what leshy brought you to America? "That one is not less than mine, my notebook has gone."

I was born there. Ugly. Ugly?

And what's your name? Gery Perebenoga. And our way?

Karasim. - Oh, you, Karasim Gerasim! This is understandable.

And you? - Egorkin Foma. "Thomas... Thomas!" "Thomas!"

Tom, please, Tom. No no. That's enough. No? - All.

Yes... You became a major diplomat. Clerks, damn it.

And I want to talk to you frankly, heart to heart.

- Listen, Nikita... - Ivanovich.

After all, every diplomatic conference has a kublar.

Well, smoking rooms, where the conversations are completely different,

- that pass at the table. - I see.

Why do not you and I arrange a picurist? "Well... If you smoke, please."

Only one condition. We are officers.

We will not touch upon military secrets. Of course.

- I beg. - Thank you.

You're the first.

Thank you.

Tell me, Nikita Ivanovich, it's true that you want

here to organize Soviet power? "What nonsense!"

And we all are sure that in the near future

in your zone will open... It's like...

District Councils. Nonsense! Where did you get this from?

The word of a gentleman? "Officer's word."

My brigadier-general McDermott only assured me an hour ago,

that you are here organizing Soviet power.

And on the other hand, why do not you really organize the Soviet power here?

Yes, if only because Soviet power must first be earned.

No, Major, we want one.

That Germany was a democratic country.

Listen, "May Friend," give me a refund. What? "Well... it's old."

Ah, an asterisk... You can.

But just remember: Who is this star

wears at least in his pocket, must be a real man.

Do you understand, Mr. Perebenoga? Yes.

And then I know you Americans, I know. At all this, so it is, souvenirs. - Oh well. - On.

Here is the land of Poltava.

Dide from Ukraine drove. I'm on the vine ihav,

Batko punished meni: Ii to steal from here, Bovon is Slavic land.

Our land.

- Can I? - You are welcome.

Why did you immediately begin to rebuild the military factories in your zone,

Instead of destroying them, according to the Postdama decisions?

Condition: Military secret.

I also think that this is a military secret. It's very dangerous.

Have you thought about this?

My general McDermott says that the soldier is not allowed to think.

Your general is not original in this belief.

He already had a predecessor. Which claimed the same thing. "Who is it?" - Adolf Gitler.

A good predecessor!

However, I hear the bell of the chairman.

It seems that it's time for us to leave the perekurilka and go to the meeting room.

Thank you, Mr. General.

I have always loved Germany and always helped the Germans,

especially those like you, Mr. von Schlitz.

Bye. - Bye. Everything will be good. Thank you.

In Chicago.

In which time I ask you to tear yourself away for a moment from your affairs

and look at me. How do I look in this dress of a German princess?

You are simply charming, my bird.

You did not even look at this bird, club.

Kitty, you know my principle: First things, then feelings.

What? What? "What-what-what?"

I'm sorry, what? Shares of the brothers Brown on the eve of the slide.

Tomi. Radish to New York, let the Brothers sell.

What, what, what, what? What it is?

Prices for wood in England over the past week have doubled!

So be you a real businessman, not a chicken in epaulets.

You are wearing a general's uniform not then that you are nursing with these lousy Germans.

Around the beautiful forests, the leaves on which rustle, like dollars.

Cut to the woods and sell it to the British, before it's too late.

It is necessary to give this old painter two packets of cigarettes

and a can of pork stew. Remember that it is easy to earn.

Write it down to the German intelligentsia fund.

First, it is necessary to nominate a candidate for the post of burgomaster.

What are the proposals? I propose the candidacy of Mr. Schmetau.

He is an energetic person.

Our group offers Mr. Rile, the teacher.

I offer to all the distinguished and well-known Social-Democrat.

Mr. Fischer. I think that at the moment

it is necessary to nominate a non-party man.

I propose the candidacy of Professor Dietrich. "Do you mean Otto Wolfgang Dietrich?"

Yes. He is an honest man, a native of Altenstadt,

and the whole city knows him.

The public Altenstadt nominates you as the mayor.

I'm thinking of supporting your candidacy. Me? In the burgomasters?

Are you kidding, Mr. Major? I'm not a supporter of communism.

And what's more, I... "" It does not stop you from becoming a burgomaster."

Hello, Father.

I must think, Major. "Think about it." Bye.

Yes. His father's character remained the same.

Comrade Kurt, who are you by profession?

I wanted to be a school teacher. Very good.

The upbringing of children is, perhaps, the most important thing now.

This is the business of the future of your country. - And maybe all of Europe.

I am thinking of proposing your candidacy for the post of assistant to the mayor

for public education.

Thank you for your trust. And who will be the burgomaster?

Most likely, your father will be the mayor.

Russians want to use your good name as a banner.

You must not be the mayor in any case.

Why do you think so? "Your brother-in-law, Ernst Schmetau, must be the burgomaster."

- Why? - He is young, energetic.

He can protect German interests.

Ernst the Nazi. The party archive was burnt.

Ernst Schmetau was never a Nazi. I know him more than ever.

Healthy! Our press requests

permission to attend the opening of the school. "Very pleased, please."

Mr. Loyd. "Hunter Loyd."

"Haster Loyd." "Miss Belami." Mr. Ischman.

Mrs. Janet Sherwood. Mr. Campbell.

And you know Tommy.

Please, gentlemen.

Goodwill, comrade commandant!

What's next? - According to the program, a pupil of the 5th grade.

Valter Schmetau will greet you with poems.

- Shmetau! Walter! - There is!

We are going, taking a step, The dust of Europe is under our feet.

The wind of battle whistles in your ears, Blood and hate, blood and flame!

Excuse me, is this a school or barracks?

German school, mister komendant.

What is this fascist bulge? What the fuck did it do?

I have nothing to do with it.

Give me the floor.

Sit down!

Attention, children. Now Mr. Kuzmin, the commandant of our city, will speak.

It's thanks to his cares that you can study again.

Children, you found in your place on the ground this fascist name.

It says: "German children, the battle in the Teutoburg Forest continues."

Boycott the new teachers, tear up the red textbooks.

Wait for the impacts of rams. Siegfried will defeat the dragon.

"Duty and honor. Remember, you are the hope of Germany."

Yes, you are the hope of Germany. Only not the old, fascist Germany.

You are the hope of a new Germany, peaceful and democratic.

The duty and honor of every German student

help build this new Germany.

The duty and honor of everyone is to destroy this fascist uprising

own hands. So, as your teachers do.

So, as our American guests do.

So, as I do.

What a mysterious and powerful melody. What are they singing about?

They fought for several years. Each of them in his homeland remained

home, favorite work, family, mother.

Father.

What's wrong with you?

I lost my father in this war.

12 years ago I managed to escape from the Nazis and flee to America.

I am a former German.

But my father stayed in this hell.

He must have died.

For six years I did not receive letters from him.

According to political convictions, he could not remain silent.

Where did he live? "Here in Altenstadt, on your shore."

What is his last name?

Kraus. Helmut Kraus.

Kraus? I somewhere heard this name.

What are you saying? - Do not worry. If he is alive, we will find him.

Mister Major, you put hope in my soul.

And I will not forget your kindness, your participation.

How I would like to be your friend!

But this is impossible. I must soon leave for America.

If you knew how I do not want to go back there!

Accept this as a sign of respect, gratitude and love.

Nikita Ivanovich, do not look into our smoking room?

To talk heart to heart? Yes. Always happy.

Nikita Ivanovich, I've wanted to talk for a long time.

You here have developed devilish work: Restore all schools,

print new textbooks. Why the hell do you need this?

Are you really interested in the Germans and their fate?

Yes. I'm really interested in the Germans and their fate.

And I do not care about them.

You have to work a hell of a lot. When will you rest?

After all, life goes away. When will you live?

You see, James, it all depends on how you understand the word "live."

Nikita Ivanovich, you start to agitate me.

Good-bye, Nikita Ivanovich. Bye.

Good-bye, mister commandant. Bye.

Thank you! You accept us wonderfully. I am glad.

Today at school you were like a lion.

I hope this is not our last meeting.

I hope not the last one.

Good-bye, Nikita Ivanovich. Bye.

But we're still talking about life, right? "We'll definitely talk."

In a beautiful rose, a butterfly is in love, He circling the flower for a long time.

And the hot sun of his own caresses the love ray.

Who wrote these poems?

Heine. There was such a German sings, Heinrich Heine.

First time I hear it, mister major.

Papa, what's wrong with you? - Nothing. I just can not understand. "Whom?"

The master of the major. Just that he read Walter's poems Heine.

"A moth is in love with a beautiful rose."

And you start falling in love with the Russians, Dad.

Do not be silly, Ernst. I'm trying to understand it.

If you gave your patents to optics,

they would put a monument to you in life. "I always thought, Ernst,"

that you have in your brain a maximum of two gyruses.

Apparently, you are going to transfer the patent to Russian. You curry favor with the Russians.

Scoundrel!

Dad.

Do you really love your grandfather, Walter? - Yes very.

Mister Major, I spread leaflets at school.

And I know it, Walter. Why did you do that?

Because you took Altenstadt and live in our house.

We are here because the Germans attacked our homeland.

And we defended our land and our Volga. And they came here,

to free the German people from the fascists.

And they told us at school that the border of Germany would be held on the Volga.

But this did not happen. And not the Germans on the Volga, but the Russians on the Elbe.

But we do not want Russia's border to pass on the Elbe.

We believe that the Germans should live on the Elbe, and the Russians - on the Volga.

Mr. Commandant.

I wanted to tell you that I agree to be a burgomaster.

You called me, father?

I had to call you, Mr. Deputy Mayor.

You darken the holiday of the German people. How did you start your activities?

What's the matter? - I was just congratulated by the university professor.

You sacked the oldest and best.

You talk about Dr. Schwedler and Master Knaopfke.

Yes, I fired them, mister burgomaster.

They are proud not only of our university...

But the National Socialist Party? "I do not care about their partisanship!"

This is your misfortune, father. And not only yours.

This swindle and blindness allowed the Nazis to bring Germany

before the tragedy!

Knopfke and Schwedler are people of science!

But their science served fascism! It is not true! I cancel your decision.

I will report this to Mr. Kuzmin.

- Dad! - What?

You need to go home immediately! There was a misfortune. - What happened?

The safe is hacked. - There were my patents. - There is nothing there.

Who did it?! - I think that the Russians did it. It's them!

Major Kuzmin brazenly deceived you. They stole your patents.

How our factories, our power, our independence were stolen.

It's incredible.

What's the matter, Mr. Dietrich? "A terrible misfortune, they stole a patent."

Can not be. The Russians. The horror.

I told you that you can not work with them. What to do?

There is only one way out. What.

To run. Run to the other shore, to the Americans.

Only there is true democracy. Only there you can live peacefully

and free to work! "But I'm the burgomaster." The people chose me.

All the better. There is no other way for you.

Well, you're free.

Back!

The Germans do not have a passage.

Says Moscow. We continue to transmit radio-listeners on request.

Sergeant Yegorkin wanted to listen to his favorite song, "Yearning for home."

We pass it in the performance of Nadezhda Andreevna Obukhova.

I go - I'm going. I remember - I remember.

I love - I love. I love.

I love - I love.

For memory.

I love - I love.

Listen. Hello, Major Berendey.

Can not be? And patents?

What are you saying?!

Yes.

Yes. Good.

Our burgomaster, Mr. Dietrich, went to the Americans.

Calm down, Nikita Ivanovich.

What do you? Maybe he'll come back. "Will she come back?" All this...

this boy!

I need it... "What's the matter, Nikita Ivanovich?"

General Maslov.

What's going on, Mister Mayer? Exchange office.

We change the German bill for American beans and cigarettes.

Exchange here is a habit.

One can of stew for the Diva,

and a pack of cigarettes for Beethoven.

Good evening, Miss McDermott. How are you? How are you?

How is the general's health? "Healthy, like an ox."

How are you?

How are you doing, Eddie? "Not bad, Miss McDermott, not bad."

We did not take the crystal, we take only Saxon porcelain.

Edie, I do not need any more porcelain. Pity those poor Germans.

Leave them some dishes.

Take gold, fur, works of art.

Easier, easier things, so as not to overload the aircraft.

And then our air bridge across the ocean can burst.

The planes delivered a new batch of cigarettes.

These poor Germans really want to smoke.

How much does this addiction cost? I change six marks a piece.

You can change more marks per piece, we have no competitors.

Yes, but we can not exchange this amount.

Sell on the black market for 10 marks apiece.

He flattered me.

You will get a lot of dollars, an airplane with American products.

Such optics, as yours, is necessary for America.

I do not smoke. What should I do?

Be the head of the laboratories of aviation and artillery sights.

Is not the war over? Do our factories belong to Americans?

We have acquired these plants. The old war is over, a new one has begun.

War with communism. Are you, like a decent German,

do not want a war with the Communists? Do you know what the Marshal's plan is?

Germany will get the most help.

We will prepare for you such opportunities that you did not dream of under Hitler.

I see other dreams, Mr. General. I dream of peace.

You are welcome! We have freedom of dreams.

Mr. Peck, you are on the phone.

But real life is very often not like dreams. Hello!

I do not need these lousy marks, I print myself!

Cut down, cut down the forest, we will sell it to the British! Okay.

- Comrade Major. - Yes Yes.

The Americans. "Ask them."

I ask you to.

Mister Major, a miracle happened!

I found my poor father. I'm so happy!

I am glad. Sit down please.

I want to thank you for your warm participation.

I also thank you, Mister Major. "And I know you."

Do you remember... Remember how they freed me from prison? - Yes, the camera 13.

Yes Yes. "What a happy coincidence."

It turns out that you freed my poor father, Mr. Major.

Yes, an amazing coincidence. "We will always remember you, Master Major."

Mister Major, I have business in America. I'm in hurry.

Can not check out my father's departure, we would like to go out together.

You are welcome. But the pass will be ready only tomorrow. - Thank you.

Only I ask you to wait a bit, I'll give the order.

Excellent.

Comrade Berendey, she found her father. Yes, suspiciously fast.

The old man can be detained until tomorrow.

Agreed, good.

I do not like this pause. "Do not worry, Father."

The major is so cute. Everything will be fine.

Tomorrow we will meet with you on the other side of the Elbe. - Tomorrow.

Here's the solution. Tomorrow you can get a pass

and to leave through the Soviet pontoon bridge. - Thank you.

Yes, I completely forgot.

Major Hill invites you to the American point tomorrow. Will you come?

Thank you, I will come. Mr. Kraus, do you have many things?

What are you, one small suitcase.

Urgently Comrade Kurt!

Says Schultz. Comrade Kurt, I ask you to come urgently to Wagner Street.

Here is Mr. Schmetau.

Stop it!

What's wrong, Schultz?

- It was Schrank. "Who?" - Shrunk.

Egorkin, quickly!

And he. "Schmetau?"

Left!

Stop!

I protest! I demand refuge, this is the American occupation zone.

Okay. - Up to the American zone a meter and a half. - And two typed.

I beg.

We'll piss. - Gerasim, what do you have for the ensemble?

Trochs on the major's bridge, a meter on the pivot. It was stinking, okay?

Exactly 1 m 41 cm to the border of the United States. - It's healthy!

Hello. "Sir." "This man is a war criminal."

I am a political emigrant, I fled the Soviet zone.

Yes, he tried to escape to deviate from responsibility for the murder.

But a gentleman in a big car. You can detain him.

Thank you. - Bye. - Bye.

Hello, Comrade Berendey. "I wish you good health, Comrade Major."

Are these the same patents? - Yes, and this is Mr. Shrank, whom we were looking for.

Here are the documents. Very good. Proceed further. Yes, I do.

Well, Yegorkin, we're going to the Americans.

What's the matter? Carefully! Team alignment left was not! Right!

Right! In a march!

Where is your neighbor, Major?

I bet a hundred dollars that he will not show up. - Yes.

All Russian are devilishly closed and uncommunicative.

Yes Yes Yes. I noticed this in Moscow.

Maybe they just were not interested in talking to you.

You'll see that he will not come. He will not be allowed.

He will agree all year with the government. Yes. Yes.

Obviously, your uncle did not have an excessive mind and profound analysis.

What uncle? I do not have any uncle!

Mr. Wood preferred to call his uncle,

not to mention his nephew.

Do not underestimate the strength of Russian opponents. - What?

You seem to have made a reservation, Mr. Senator,

not enemies, but allies. While allies, you are right.

It's unfair to talk about brave Russian guys.

We must not forget that together with them we fought against the fascists.

It is regrettable that the military successes of the Russians

caused some Americans very much sympathy.

I am inclined to view this as the worst consequences of the war.

Attention, ladies and gentlemen,

arrived the Soviet commandant, Major Kuzmin.

I am very glad to see you, Mister Major.

Gentlemen, meet. Mr. Wood, senator.

- Good evening. - How are you?

And these are gentlemen journalists. "We already know each other."

Mrs. Sherwood?

And I thought that you are already far away and that I will not see you again.

I so wanted to see you again, Nikita Ivanovich.

The commandant is treating us to the present Siberian

vodka called St John's wort. - I beg. Let's try. Interesting.

Gentlemen, I offer to drink for the friendship of America and Russia.

For our friendship.

I have a feeling that I was shot in the stomach.

Mr. Major, why do not we take a patent for this vodka

as the greatest national discovery. Frankly, it so quickly intoxicates,

like shooting at the head. And it depends on the head.

1-0 in favor of Moscow. Greetings from my uncle. What?

You delayed, I already began to worry.

You have cause for concern. "The grounds?" You are somehow strange today.

We'll go out on the verandah, and you'll tell me everything that happened.

Mrs. Sherwood offers to get some fresh air.

Are not you going to join us? With pleasure.

What a fresh air! "You should drink in the fresh air." - One minute.

What happened? There was a big trouble.

I do not like trouble. I'm out. Salute, James!

I ask you to stay.

Mister Major, I commend you to an American citizen Sherwood

concluded in criminal acts. "What nonsense?"

You're joking, Major. - No, I'm not joking. This lady announced that her father, Mr. Shrank, Kraus.

First, his name is Shrank, not Kraus.

Secondly, he was never the father of Mrs. Sherwood.

And thirdly, it is the largest Nazi, the head of the concern, the Gestapo,

military and criminal. Three months before the surrender of Germany

under his name Kraus was put in prison.

To later legalize. Mrs. Sherwood knows all this well.

No. "Her job is to deceive this scoundrel into America by fraudulently."

- What? - Why is it necessary for America? - This question

better to ask America. Or at least some of its citizens.

Since Mrs. Sherwood is an American subject,

I officially declare her criminal activities.

You mean it's all true? - No no. This is some terrible misunderstanding.

Damn it! Miss Sherwood was recommended to me by General McDermott.

I advise you to understand this misunderstanding.

It's horrible.

What?

You deceived me!

Why are you shouting at me, James?

I'm not James right now, but a representative of the United States Army.

Please explain why you need this Nazi Schrank?

I do not understand, my father is not Shrunk, but Kraus.

Helmut Kraus. He was never a Nazi. This is some terrible mistake.

And here it is said that Shrank and Kraus are one person.

No that's not true. It's a fake.

I have no reason not to believe my Russian friend.

I have to arrest you.

Me, arrest? James, if you do not believe me, send me to America!

There I will prove my innocence. "Very well, I agree."

James! - Yes, sir? "Take this person to Lieutenant Strong."

Let them put her on the first plane bound for the States.

James, let the plane be in comfort.

Let her be put on the first plane, even if it is a freight plane. "James!"

Take the receipt from the pilot. Acknowledgment on the radio link.

They'll sort it out. - Yes, I do. "James!"

You often say that you want a united Germany.

But the Germans are your enemies. Why do you combine them?

We fought not with the German people, but with the fascists.

If some scoundrel, Mr. Senator,

considered it our duty to impose a war on us, we did not think that his people wanted it.

Gentlemen, is it worth talking about war?

Neither American, nor Russian, nor German soldiers do not want to fight.

Do soldiers fight because they want to fight?

Soldiers are fighting because they are soldiers.

And they want to fight or do not want, this does not apply to the case.

You are not original in your statement, sir.

You already had a predecessor who claimed the same thing - Who is that? - Adolf Gitler.

I do not claim to be original in this matter. But still, if the war...

Those who start it will suffer the fate of Hitler.

Yes, but Hitler took possession of the secret atomic bomb.

Mystery has the property that it is always revealed.

You mean you own a bomb?

No, I want to say that we also own a secret. - Bravo, bravo.

2-0 in favor of Moscow! "I like you, Mr. Kuzmin."

Let's be frank. Are you sure that we hate Russia?

First of all, I'm sure that you do not like America.

What do you think you might think that you love her. - Yes.

We love America. We love this country of brave and honest people.

The country of Jack London, Mark Twain,

Whitman, Edison, Roosevelt.

We will never forget your brave soldiers,

with whom we met on the Elbe.

We love and respect the people of America.

How are you?

I'm happy, sir,

Welcome you on this day here.

Thank you. I see that the bright light of the American order

more and more confidently shines in the darkness of post-war Europe.

Handbag!

Calm, ladies and gentlemen, calm.

Just in Bizonia, the German workers declared a general strike.

Temporarily stopped work transport, industrial enterprises

and power plants. Calm, ladies and gentlemen...

Mister commandant, four people ask for a pass to your zone.

Your Europe is loved more than us.

Mr. Dietrich?

I ask permission to return to that shore, Mr. Kuzmin.

You are welcome. What else?

But I'm not alone, my friends and engineers are with me.

Mr. Mayer, Mr. Bauer, Mr. Bernhard.

They can not anymore. They ask...

- I ask. - Good.

Is there anything else you want to say to me?

Not now. Sit down. "Thank you."

Yegorkin, stay with the engineers and give them a pass.

- Yes, I do! - There is!

I ask you for me.

Dad! Dad!

It's terrible, Dad. Ernst was arrested, patents...

And Walter was sick. You're not, I'm alone.

Kurt asked.

What about him? - Nervous concussion. Need care and attention, and then get out.

Elsa, I'll go. The doctor left the recipes on the table. Bye.

Kurt.

Thank you, Kurt.

How good that you are back, Father.

Sherwood, where are you going? Here's your plane.

I decided personally to hand you over to the pilot's receipt. "Thank you, you are very kind."

Where are you going?

Miss Colins, everything is ready for departure. - Thank you.

What did you call her? "This is Miss Colins, authorized by the Federal Intelligence Agency."

Good morning.

Sergeant.

I advise you, General, not to forget,

that you are responsible for the discipline of officers in this zone of occupation.

Do not forget that our situation in Europe

much more serious than you think.

Major Hill, come here.

You're nuts, Mr. Hill, and a bad politician.

You have long had to understand who and why Shrank needed.

Understand that this is not a matter of your competence. You will cost your

not ingenuity. And especially your friendship with this Russian officer.

You know, I even respect this Bolshevik Kuzmin.

He's a good diplomat.

And a real man. And you...

Well nothing. I'll make sure that you are made a 100% American.

I'm sorry for you, Mr. Hill. You can go now.

Lord, bless the president, America and us.

Citizens of Altenstadt!

Today, on a spring day

we solemnly celebrate the restoration of our city,

restoration of our life,

restoration of the unity of all progressive forces,

restoration of the monuments of the great German poet

Heinrich Heine.

And we will strengthen the honor of our people and their culture!

You see? Do you see what is happening, Mr. Colonel?

I would like to please you, Mr. Dietrich. It was at such a moment.

Here are your patents.

Two worlds met on the Elbe, on two banks.

Germany can not stay between them.

The time has come to make a choice.

I will never forget that you, the Russians, were the first to say

about the unity of our fatherland and our people. And I made my choice.

I stay on this shore. On the shore, where a new

peace-loving, united democratic Germany.

Good evening, James. "Nikita Ivanovich, I'm glad you came."

What happened? I want to say goodbye to you? How so?

I'm demoted, fired from the army. Tomorrow I am sent to the state.

To the commission for the investigation of anti-American activities. - How?

Mechanics!

Here! - Why is not the bridge built? Why is the commandant's order not being executed?

There's in fact a comrade officer! No talking.

Dilute all the bridges!

Excuse me, Colonel, do you have the dollar that I gave you?

There is.

And you take care of my asterisk?

It turns out that there is a truth in the world that is stronger than the dollar.

So it will be correct?

Farewell. We met with you as allies, lived as neighbors.

We part as friends.

Do everything so that in the future we will not meet with you as enemies.

Remember, James, the friendship of the peoples of Russia and America -

this is the most important question that faces humanity today.
