Jesus Christ, it's only going.

Who? The second command.

It's here in me.

What did

he

say?

He asked us to get his luggage.

Justice Jackson?

That depends on if you have a good reason to be banging on my door at 3 in

morning. They captured Herman Goring alive.

Where? Austria.

What are they going to do with him? Well, that's the real question, isn't

Can I come in?

No. But it's raining.

I can see that.

Are they going to shoot him?

Not that I know of.

Well, for a long time they were going to shoot him. Yes, sir. Churchill and

Roosevelt signed the order themselves.

On what are you opposed?

I'm a Supreme Court justice. I tend to frown on executing men without a trial.

That's what I'm here to talk about.

It can't be done. You keep saying that. Because it can't be done.

Give me one good reason why not.

There's no legal precedent for a trial.

There's no international law to make charges on.

No one has ever tried war criminals outside of one nation's jurisdiction

the whole concept of international law is that one country can't tell another

country's citizens how to conduct themselves.

Healthy. Trying these men in a German court would be different. But what

talking about is trying them in some sort of legal limbo that doesn't exist,

using case law that hasn't been written yet, and on the off chance that you're

not keeping track, that's about four good reasons why not. I'm getting you a

drink. I don't want a drink. Then I'm getting me another and getting you one

sure.

Who do you put on trial?

The German commanders?

Enlisted men?

What about the judges who enforce the racial code?

Obviously, we have to work that out.

And once you decide who to put on trial, what do you charge them with?

Conspiracy to wage aggressive war on the world. And you want the United States

to argue that as prosecution?

I do.

Against Germany, a country that never attacked us?

Say just for a second, it could be done. Robert.

Don't you want to know how I'd do it?

It would have to be a completely international effort.

All of the allies would have to participate.

U .S., Britain, France, Russia. You can't do it without the Russians.

Four international judges.

You're talking about a tribunal.

Exactly. The world needs to know what these men did.

It's a logistical nightmare.

I know.

But it has to be done.

Can you ask me to please remember it and put it back in the deck?

Please remember it and put it back in the deck.

No shuffle.

And

what?

My card with the three is a big.

Well, that's hardly a trick.

Turn over the top one.

And why are you going to Mondorf?

I wish I knew.

They send psychiatrists on secret missions now. I'm pretty sure I'm the

How did you do that?

With the cards?

I didn't do anything.

You're a really good magician.

Kelly? Sergeant Howie Creuset, good service.

I'm going to run you over to the Commandant's office.

Tiger, son.

Yes, sir.

Have some tea around.

Timmy.

Who is that?

That Howie was a very attractive woman.

The Commandant?

Yes, sir. Colonel Andrew.

Can you tell me what I'm supposed to be doing here?

I thought the war was over.

I couldn't say.

You couldn't say because you don't know or you couldn't say because somebody

told you you couldn't say?

I couldn't say.

Don't get sore of me, Doc. I'm just a translator.

Translator for what?

Let's see.

Dr. Kelly, apparently Central Command thinks you're some kind of hotshot head

shrinker. I imagine you have some questions for me. More than a few.

Let's get to it. You are standing inside a secret military prison. It currently

houses what's left of the Nazi high command. The governments of Russia,

Great Britain, and our United States are deciding right now whether to put these

men on trial for their lives.

You have been brought in to inspect and ensure the prisoners' mental health

should that trial go forward.

Suicide.

That'll be the main concern with most of the prisoners.

Hitler, Goebbels, and Himmler have already taken their own lives.

We cannot afford any more losses.

Goebbels and Himmler did it with this.

Hidden cyanide capsule.

The one you'll have to watch the closest is Goering.

Goering?

Why, isn't Herman Goering?

That's the one.

Herman Goering's here?

Sergeant, is it possible the Major suffered a large blow to his head on the

to my office? Not that I'm aware of, sir.

Sorry. Just a lot to process.

Sure does. Try and do it faster. Yes, sir. When Goering surrendered, he was

traveling with his family.

He had over a million dollars in German currency and jewelry, and a large

quantity of these.

We had them sent back to the States for classification.

Paracordium.

Fairly potent painkiller, I'm a fan.

He said they're for his heart.

Well, then, I have a rather large bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. These have

nothing to do with the heart. They're an opiate.

How many bills does he take a day?

Sergeant, 40, sir.

Well, I think it's safe to say the Reich Marshal's got a drug problem.

Where's his family now? They've been released and they're not your concern.

Your only job is to evaluate caring any others. That is it.

Sir, I'm a good doctor, but the entire Nazi high command might be a little bit

beyond my area of expertise.

Believe me, Major, this was not my idea.

Dismissed.

a founding member of the Catholic Secret Police, was appointed Hitler's

successor in 1939, and is the highest -ranking German military officer of all

time. Okay.

Now I'm a little intimidated.

Don't be. You're good.

I'm Marshall Goering. My

name is Dr. Douglas Kelly.

Ah, wunderbar. Ein Arzt.

He says, wonderful, a doctor.

I am. I'm going to take your pulse.

He's been asking for his pills. He wants you to get them for

him.

I understand you've had heart trouble.

Can you open your strip,

please?

Respiration is rapid and shallow.

Don't translate that.

The pills help with the pain as well.

He says he was shot down in World War I.

He has a bullet in his right hip.

In 1923, he was shot in the groin during the Munich Putsch.

That's not a lot, sir.

Occupational hazard.

If you really want to look after your heart, the best way to do that is to

some weight.

I assure you, you're looking at the best physique in all of Germany.

Just ask my wife.

I'm sure you're right, sir, but the guards here call you fat stuff.

I'm sure it would be difficult for a lesser man to live this way, but you

possess a fortitude and discipline that others do not, yes?

You see, this man is different.

We're going to be good friends, I'm sure of it.

I look forward to that.

Good day.

Inflated sense of self.

Charming.

Speaks English.

What? What, what, what? The way he looked at me when I called him fat.

He understood me. He's been playing a game.

No, no, why would he pretend?

Translation gives him more time to consider his answers. He thinks that

him an advantage.

Wait, hold on.

You're saying I spent the last three months mumbling to myself while he

understood every word? Pretty much.

General.

Are you going to tell him that you know?

No, no.

No, he's going to tell me when he's ready.

When's that? When he determines I'm not a threat.

I want to meet the rest of them. Who's next?

Uh, Dr. Robert Lay.

Chief of the German Labor Front. One of Hitler's earliest followers.

He once wrote a book that was so complimentary of the Pura that Hitler

entire run destroyed because he was so embarrassed.

Blay, who spearheaded the Nazi slave labor program, was captured in his

calling himself Dr.

Distelmayr.

I'm not like these other power -hungry men you have

locked up in here.

I can smell the dew.

Great Admiral Karl Donis, the German Navy's commander -in -chief.

Architect, the U -boat attack that crippled the British Navy. The

fanatical Nazi

with the arrest of Dönitz.

The Third Reich is ended forever.

I've been in custody for 17 days. I have been formally arrested or charged with

a specific crime, which is a direct violation of the Geneva Convention.

Charge me or release me.

Julius Streicher, Hitler's director of propaganda, publisher of the national

anti -Semitic paper, Die Stürmer.

Streicher, dubbed the high priest of anti -Semitism, and the beast of

led the Jewish boycott. And ruled Nuremberg with an iron fist.

Are you a Jew?

He wants to know if you're a Jew.

No. But you work in a Jewish profession.

But you work in a Jewish profession.

What do you cry for, Doctor?

Want to go to the lock? Yes.

At 2 .33 in the morning. Yes, get your coat.

I'll get my coat.

The sheer amount of narcissists we've got locked up in that hotel, I bet at

least half have books in here written about them or written by them.

We're going to figure these guys out.

I speak a lot of German, Doc.

Not even a little. How'd you learn?

My mother spoke German.

I wanted to be like her.

You really think you can do it? Do what?

Well, these guys to open up to you. Sure.

Ow.

Everybody wants to be listened to. It's a natural instinct.

I learn about them.

I get them to trust me.

They open up.

You make it sound so easy.

What if we could dissect evil?

What sets these men apart from all others? What enabled them to commit the

crimes that they did?

It almost took over the world.

You've heard about the work camps for Jews?

Rumor has it they weren't just work camps.

I've heard.

So how do people become like that?

We actually have a shot to figure that out.

To find out what makes the Germans different.

Different?

From us.

A man who writes a book about that can make a lot of money.

You know, for a second I thought you were being noble.

You aren't noble?

Fine. If we could.

psychologically defined evil.

We can make sure something like this never happens again.

His airway is clear. Looks good, right? He's having a heart attack.

What? With the other prison doctor.

Tell him to wait. All right, tell him to hurry.

Allie, get some aspirin. Plain old ordinary aspirin. Get it now. Go. Hey,

Your heart's still beating, which means you're alive.

I'm going to keep you that way, okay?

I need you to stay calm, all right? Breathe with me.

In and out.

In and out.

I'm here. I'm here. Look at me. I'm here. I'm not going to let you die, all

right?

Is that your wife?

She's here.

She's here.

She's here. Come on. Breathe. Breathe.

Yeah. Hand me a few of those. Thank you, Howie.

Best thing for the heart.

Trust me.

All right?

Breathe in and out. Mm -hmm. Chew. Chew. Yes.

Yeah,

your pulse is slow.

Yeah. Hey.

Guess what? You're alive.

You're alive.

Indeed. Well, how about that?

Thank you.

Let's get him to the infirmary. Come on.

What are you

smiling for?

He said thank you in English.

and wants to win re -election in 48.

He's not going to do that coddling the Nancys. True enough.

Plus, a trial means giving them a chance to tell their stories to the world.

Why are we afraid to hear them tell?

We won the damn war, Bob.

If you do this, it'll turn into the biggest boondoggle of all time.

Cameras in the damn courtroom. What if they're sympathetic?

What if all this does is provide them with a platform for anti -Semitism all

over the world?

I won't be responsible for that.

You wouldn't know if I'm comfortable executing a few nads. It's about trial.

Damn right I am.

It doesn't matter anyway.

I'll never get the Russians.

We got the Russians.

What? We got the Russians.

Again? Truman called Stalin himself.

Looking at Nikitchenko for lead prosecutor.

That's fantastic news. I have no idea who you are.

Colonel John Ammons, sir. I work for the Judge Advocate General.

So, the Army sent us a lawyer.

Yes, sir.

I bring greetings from General Eisenhower, who says he wants you to

he's not for hanging anyone without a trial.

Well, that's progress.

He also says he hopes the trial won't take too long so we can get on with

hanging them.

Have a seat.

I've read a lot about you, sir.

They say you're going to be the next Chief Justice.

President promised him to feed personally.

And swore me into secrecy, so let's maybe not tell everyone who walks into

office about it, okay?

Well, everyone in my office says there's no way you get the trial.

What do you say?

I say I like an underdog.

Good morning, Julius.

I'm going to show you a series of cards, each with inkblots, and you're going to

tell me what each inkblot makes you see.

Perhaps it will reveal something about your character.

Your intelligence, creativity, and everything here stays between us.

Herr Doktor.

Yes?

I can speak to you in English if it is of some help.

Only if it makes you comfortable.

Shall we begin?

That is a direct torpedo hit.

Torpedo hit.

Somebody has spilled something.

I see tons of horses.

I see savagaries ride.

A vagina.

A vagina.

A vagina.

A vagina.

A Jewish vagina.

This is blood.

This is blood.

Or ink.

You can say a lot of things with ink.

I'm sorry, Bob.

Word came down tonight.

It's going to be a no.

Congress is going to say no to the trial.

They just want executions.

I'm out of moves. What about the president? The president wants someone

behind. That's why he needs Congress.

Neither will do it without the other.

So you need someone bigger to back it?

Oh, come on. Who's bigger than the president?

Are you a Catholic?

I am now.

The Holy Father will see you now.

You wish to put these men on trial for their lives, and you have come to ask

the Church's blessing in this.

Your support would go a long way to building an international consensus.

No one denies these men are evil, but an eye for an eye is not the

answer. Maybe not, but I'm pretty sure where I first read about her.

Are you Catholic?

No, sir.

A religious man?

Not especially.

And yet at home they call you a justice.

I didn't pick the name. If you sit long enough in judgment of others, you come

to believe the laws of men outweigh the laws of God.

I don't believe that.

Then what do you believe?

I believe in man, in our capacity to save ourselves from men like the Nazis.

I believe this to be a good act.

Once so good, you must circumnavigate your own laws to achieve it.

I'm sorry, but the Catholic Church cannot support you in this.

But you could support them in 1933.

I'm sorry?

You signed the Concordat with Hitler yourself.

That was a different matter.

You lived in Munich. You were the nuncio to the German Empire.

The Catholic Church was the first world power to acknowledge the pure state.

You gave the Nazis credibility.

In order to protect Catholics in Germany. Isn't it a pity the Jews didn't

someone to do that for them?

Do you think I condone what they did?

People will remember, sir.

What you did in 1933.

What you do now.

They'll tell their children.

Did the Catholic Church stand with the Nazis?

Or against them?

Did you just blackmail the Pope?

I don't want to talk about it.

Word came down last night.

It's going to be a trial.

All right?

Good.

As it should be.

Get down.

Sit and see.

Those cards that you showed me, what did they teach you about me?

Honestly, that you are highly intelligent.

I could have told you this.

And now you're a narcissist given to an expansive and aggressive fantasy life

with a strong ambition and drive to subjugate the world as you find it to

own pattern of thinking.

And you were surprised by this?

No.

Then the cards have taught you nothing.

Now, Chris, he tells me you do magic.

I'm Zalvar.

Sorry.

Perhaps if it's not too much trouble, we don't get entertainment.

Why not?

Here's an average ordinary silver dollar.

Ta -da!

Very good.

Very good.

I will show you a magic trick one day.

What's that?

I am going to escape the hangman's noose.

How do you plan on doing that?

If I were to tell you, it would not be a trick.

No, Mark.

You see what the Allies are capable of? There's nothing left.

You said that.

Palace of Justice.

The route's been damaged by the air raid.

Fire gutted the upper floors and collapsed the clock tower, but this

should be able to hold 600 people when it's finished.

What's with all the supply?

Nazis fought their last stand here when the city was taken.

So they will again.

All the beautiful cities in this conquered land, you want to try them in

boned -out husk?

This is Sir David Maxwell Fife, assistant prosecutor for the British.

Yes, sir, we do.

For one thing, we can control the space. For another, there's an adjoining

prison with room for up to 1 ,200 inmates.

We only need space for 22.

Sorry, 22, sir. That's the number of men we're indicting for the first trial.

You see, if we don't win that trial, there won't be any more trials to come.

you, myself, and Justice Jackson... And our respective governments will be the

laughing stock of the world, defeated by the very men we've imprisoned.

So that will be fun.

My friends in Washington say opinions turned against you.

There's talk that you won't get the Chief Justice's seat once Stone steps

Well, who's Stone going to pick? Benson?

Benson's too political.

Yes, but he's there.

It's how things become a sideshow, Rod. It hasn't even begun.

They say you're writing all the briefs yourself, refusing help from other

loyals. Because it has to be done right.

And it will, but you can't do it alone.

Everything will be fine once we actually get to trial. You say that as though

trying the Nazi high command with untested case law. The whole world

going to be the easy part.

Well, when you put it like that.

Anything less than total victory will be considered utter defeat, which means...

You don't just have to win, Robert. You have to be flawless.

No pressure.

I love another.

Your cells are made of stone.

Nine feet by thirteen.

Your beds are bolted to the wall.

Your mattress is stuffed with straw instead of spring.

Your desks are made of cardboard and will not support a man's full weight.

Your chairs are never allowed against any wall.

and will be removed every night at sundown.

When you sleep, your head and hands will remain above your blanket, visible at

all times.

You will be given no belts.

You will be given no shoelaces. You will be given no toilet seats.

You will be given nothing with which to use as a weapon to take your own lives.

Welcome to Nuremberg.

forward to?

I believe I am.

I will have, as you say, my day in court.

Do you know this Jackson, dear?

Justice Jackson?

No, I do not.

He will try to outwit me, but he will not succeed.

Very sure of yourself, Doctor.

No, man.

There are books filled with the names of those who have tried.

I hear you said... German Belt.

You think I am at some sort of disadvantage because I sit in a cell?

I will remind you.

I surrendered.

This is exactly what I desire to be.

remains an enigma to me. The closer we get to the indictments, the more

confident he becomes.

I need to figure out a way to get closer to him.

So how do we do that?

We ask for his help.

Whatever what.

Rudolph S.

Rudolph S.

is coming here.

Rudolf Hess, deputy to the Fuhrer, third in line for succession following Hitler

and Goethe.

Hess transcribed Mein Kampf for Hitler while the two were in prison and was

known as one of his most fanatical followers.

Sieg Heil!

Never do that in my prison again.

On May 10th, 1941, at the height of the war, Hess climbed into a Messerschmitt

fighter plane alone and flew over the North Sea.

Failed out and whirled to Scotland and broke his ankle upon impact.

Upon his discovery, he announced that he was Rudolph Hess.

third in line of the German high command, and he was here on a mission of

and wanted to speak with Douglas Douglas Hamilton, the 13th Duke of Hamilton,

whom Hess had met at the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin.

After some obstacles, Hess was granted his meeting.

There he announced his intention to meet with King George VI, have Winston

Churchill fired.

and negotiate a truce with Britain, allowing the two nations to join forces

defeat the Soviet Union.

Hess was immediately thrown into the Tower of London.

There, Hess began claiming he had no memory of past events, even his

This lasted until February 1945, when he said his previous amnesia had been

faked. He then slipped again.

And Citizen Tisha had returned in July 1945 when Germany collapsed.

So now you would come for Hermann Goering to discredit my old friend.

What would be in this for me?

First we talked to Hess, and then your family.

How about that? So what? This guy almost takes over the whole world and now you

want him to do a mail report?

Doc!

I'm a deeper with this guy than anyone's ever been, and me and his family will

only tell you more.

So, good luck.

We were together, yes.

That must have been the case.

But I don't remember anyone.

It was the three of us, Rudolf.

You.

You may well have been a friend, but I don't know you anymore.

He is lying.

He has just spent an hour to say he does not remember me.

But when he arrived in the prison and he saw me, what did he do?

Salute.

Very good.

This is dumb.

I'm dumb.

I knew you'd come through for me. Yeah, because I'm a dummy.

I can find him. Local gossip. Told me they're in Berlestein.

Smoke.

Where's the EU smoke?

Yeah, I don't. Gave it up.

My parents heated it.

Oh, he's got them on you.

Strength to get in good with the officers.

Tell myself I'll have a smoke when the war is done.

The war is done, Howie.

Not too much farther.

My name is Douglas Kelly.

I work at the prison. I'm a psychiatrist.

Your

husband

asked me to bring you some letters.

Hermann?

Yes.

How is he?

How are you playing?

It's beautiful.

Ah, I see. Send.

He's a friend of your father.

How is Papa?

He's doing very well. Is he being brave?

Very brave.

He wants you to be brave, too.

He wrote you a letter.

She will be here 100 times. Thank you.

Hey, Doc.

What the

hell?

What's going on?

Word came down a couple of hours ago. We're charging the prison.

Where have you been?

Herman Goring?

I am Reichsmarschall Herman Goring.

Herman Wilhelm Goring, you are hereby charged by the United States of America,

the French Republic...

United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and the Union of

Socialist Republics on the following four counts.

Crimes against peace, war crimes, crimes against humanity, and of a common plan

or conspiracy to commit those crimes.

Crimes against humanity you're accused of include murder, extermination,

enslavement, deportation, and other inhumane acts. This is a copy of your

indictment. Do you have any questions?

No.

Good day.

Who's next?

Stryker.

Do you have any questions?

Haben Sie Fragen?

Ich möchte einen netten jüdischen Anwalt.

What did he say?

He said he wants a Jewish lawyer.

Ich werde nicht vor Gericht kommen.

I'm not going to trial.

You are, Dr. Lang.

Ich habe nicht jemanden getötet.

I never killed anyone.

Ich habe nie jemanden getötet!

It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.

Robert? Don't touch me!

Shoot me!

Shoot me!

Shoot me!

Rough day?

Lady from the train.

Magic, ma 'am.

How goes the secret mission?

Just a few obstacles.

I can see that.

What are you doing here?

I came in with the press.

Helmut Goering and the Nazis are being indicted today.

You don't say.

Strap yourself in.

This city is about to become the greatest show on earth.

As dark rumors continue to swirl about the true purpose of the Nazi work camps,

the legal teams are assembling for what promises to be the trial of the century.

Through this tunnel, the Nazis will be taken to the courtroom, now being

for the trial.

There, the film lights will be so bright that the court -goers will be provided

with sunglasses.

Hermann Göring and his Hitler -loving cronies are scheduled to face off with

boys in one week.

Will justice prevail, or will the fascists go free?

This reporter desperately hopes that the Allies run into no problems.

We have a problem.

Operation Wieserbund was the German invasion of Denmark and Norway in 1940.

Textbook aggressive war. The Nazis, they roll tanks in, they occupy neutral

country. Except they're going to claim that the invasion was a preemptive

strike. To preempt what?

The British plan to invade Norway.

Well, that's ridiculous.

Absolutely ridiculous.

I'm in complete agreement.

It concerns me that you're in this room right now. Well, in addition to being

ridiculous, it also happens to be true. The idea was to use the country as a

staging area to hold the Nazis back.

We can't prosecute the Nazis for planning aggressive wars if you guys

planning aggressive wars.

I admit there's a certain logic there. Can the Nazis prove it? The German

lawyers already put in a request for documents, but they don't have it. Not

Then we're in the clear. Maybe.

But it raises a bigger issue.

We have to know what the Nazis know, what their defense strategy is.

Not exactly to propose we do that.

Dr. Kelly, you are going to meet someone very important this evening.

This might actually be your chance to finally be of some use.

building it to be the largest stadium on the planet.

You're Justice Jacks.

And you're the shrink.

This is where they held the rally.

Every year, Hitler would tag this place, speak to the Nazi party as a whole.

They filmed it.

In 1935, this is where he announced the Nuremberg Laws.

You know the laws?

The Nuremberg laws defined a Jew as any person having three or four Jewish

grandparents.

It didn't matter if you practiced Judaism, if you converted to

this was about blood.

The laws stripped all Jews of German citizenry.

They made it illegal for Jews and Germans to marry each other because of

fear of Rassenschanda.

Defilement of the blood.

Under the laws, Jews were prohibited from using state hospitals and not

access to public education beyond the age of 14.

Libraries, parks, and beaches were closed to Jews.

War memorials had all Jewish names on them.

Expunged.

All of that.

It was announced right here, on this very ground.

What do you want from me?

Your patience.

I need you to start asking them the right questions.

What are the right questions?

What they tell their lawyers, how they plan to defend themselves.

You want me to be a spy?

I want you to do your duty for your country. No, you want me to break doctor

-patient confidentiality. I think you already have, doctor. We read every

report.

We need more.

Why not just shoot them?

That's whatever he wants.

I mean, if you're just going to cheat.

It's not cheating. If you're asking me to betray my oath, why not just shoot

them and be done with it?

After the last great war, we made Germany crawl.

We humiliated them, made them pay reparations they couldn't afford.

We made them hate us so much that in less than two decades,

They went from a broken nation to near world conquerors.

We have to do this right because if we don't, if 15 years from now they come

back even stronger, I don't know if we can beat them a third time.

If we just shoot these men, we make them martyrs.

I'm not going to allow them that.

There will be no statues of them.

No songs of praise.

I'm going to put Herman Goering on the stand.

And I'm going to make him tell the world what he did.

So that it can never happen again.

You brought me here because of Goering.

No.

I brought you here to show you that before the bullets were fired, before

of millions of men died, all of this started with laws.

This war ends in a courtroom.

He's the face of the Nazis now.

As he falls, so do they all.

But if I'm going to do that, I need to be ready for it.

Will you help me?

Let's talk about Hitler.

You have not asked me this directly before.

I'm curious what the attraction was.

He was a field painter, not a very good soldier, yet he was worshipped and

revered.

He made us go German again.

How?

Best of all, I'd seen Germany crushed.

And along comes a man who says, we can reclaim our former glory.

Would you not follow a man like this?

Depends what else you wanted to do.

The first time I saw Hilda talk was 1922.

Upstairs of a coffee shop for maybe 30 people.

This was peacetime, but it was a peace without food, jobs, shoes.

And he stood up, and he said, French bellies are being filled with German

And then, if you make threats, you need bayonets. We are

down with Versailles.

So that night, I became a National Socialist.

Off of one's means.

I could tell he would appeal to the old soldiers. If we have the old soldiers,

we have the manpower.

Even this is anti -Semitism.

It served a practical purpose.

It brought towards us men who needed something else to focus their emotions.

Something else to blame.

And the camps?

to be work camps for our political opponents.

Nothing more.

And you signed off on that?

For work camps, yeah.

Do not think that the Japanese interred by the Americans after Pearl Harbor were

not put to work. Of course they were.

I made the camps for the good of Germany, for the war effort.

Not for death.

Himla.

Heydrich.

They were responsible?

If it is true, what they say happened in the camps, this

is a grave blight on the great German Reich.

Have you told your lawyer about this?

Douglas, I will not stand against the Fuhrer.

Not even if I could help you.

These are not things people need to know, doctor.

Only you.

He can be sympathetic.

It's going to be a problem for you.

He seriously claims that he thought there were only work camps. That's

You believe him?

Himmler ran the camps.

He was the head of the SS.

Goering was the head of the Air Force.

How often in America does the head of the Air Force know what the head of the

Secret Service is doing? I'm sorry, but I cannot believe that we're having this

conversation right now. I'm doing what you asked. No!

You're apologizing for him. Gentlemen, please. I'm not the one defending the

Nazi. You think I'm defending him? I am analyzing him, you provincial moron.

Goering is, above all things, a narcissist.

The only thing he cares about is building Germany up and then becoming

leader. He does not care about the Jews. So he's fine with them dying. He's fine

with them not. The only thing Herman Goering cares about is Herman Goering.

that sound like a man who dedicates himself to the extermination of an

race?

Well, Dr. Kelly, I really appreciate your thoughtfulness on this, but I have

admit it is very hard to believe.

You want to walk into that courtroom with a handful of assumptions.

Fine.

But you're eager for breakfast.

I have to apologize for my outburst earlier.

I'm feeling much better.

That's a good day.

And you?

Something seems to be troubling you?

Fine.

Don't worry.

This will all be over soon.

His mood is markedly improved.

He told us he has begun making arrangements for his defense.

I feel as though, for the first time, he's reached out to me.

Ripped out the hem of his towel to make a rope.

Stuffed his underwear into his mouth so he wouldn't scream and then just leaned

forward, apparently with a great deal of determination.

You didn't see any of this coming?

He told me he was doing better.

Told you.

You're supposed to keep them alive.

I'm bringing in another doctor. It's been determined a second opinion is

required for some of your patients.

Dr. Gilbert arrived this afternoon.

You will brief him.

How do you feel about Sioux Summit?

The last refuge of Carwoodsville.

the last act of a desperate man.

So all these exceptions, of course.

You are in trouble.

Why would you say that?

New doctor, new tests.

Since I died, they no longer trust you.

You're wrong.

Douglas, when you... You are in a position of power.

They will always come after you.

You have to protect yourself.

Why would I have to protect myself from my allies?

Just because a man is your ally does not mean he is on your side.

My father was a diplomat, did I tell you this? No. Huh?

Huh?

Yeah.

He was...

posted to Africa.

And it was there he was to meet his best friend, a man named

Hermann von Epstein.

I was named after him.

Yeah. I was named for a Jew.

We loved Uncle Hermann so much. He was very rich.

He lived in Freltenstein Castle.

And when I was six years old, he moved my entire family in

with him.

Can you imagine?

It was a child's dream to live in such a castle.

I would run down the halls, pretending I was a knight.

I would stare down from the battlements, envisioning armies forming to attack.

Uncle Herman, he lived in the largest and most beautiful room on the top

Down the hall, my mother had a bedroom, also beautiful.

My father, he lived in a small bedroom on the ground floor.

And I was to realize just how rich Uncle Herman was.

So rich.

So that he could move my family in.

So rich that he could put my father on the ground floor.

So rich that whenever he wanted, he could walk down the hall

and enjoy my mother.

Just because a man is your ally does not mean he is on your side.

and going to be imaginative?

I didn't find him to be that way. The test did.

Well, that is what a second opinion is for.

Which brings us to Rudolph Hess.

I'm inclined to believe that his amnesia is genuine.

You mean the part where he forgets about being a Nazi?

Okay, look, Dr. Kelly, I'm not here to step on your toes, okay?

I'll share research.

We'll co -author.

Co -author what?

You don't have to play coy with me. We're both here for the same reason.

Now, two books about the Nazi high command, that's going to cut into the

I say we write it together.

Good luck with your tests.

She was surprised?

She was astounded.

Teach me this trick.

The coin behind the ear. Yeah, yeah. Teach me this trick so I too can astound

her.

I gave my silver dollar to your daughter.

It's the simplest trick in the world. It works because people want to believe.

You hold up the dollar and you say, Hey folks, here is an ordinary average

silver dollar.

Then you put it in your other hand.

You focus on it.

But really, it's right here.

You palm it in your right hand. Palm it.

Keep it between these two fingers.

You wrap your palm around it. But you focus on your left hand.

You feel the coin in there, the weight of it.

And if you believe it.

Then they'll believe it.

And then you just, uh, well, you reach behind the ear.

Abracadabra!

What's this abracadabra?

Uh, it's a magic horse. It, uh, gives the illusion of a cosmic weight.

And it always must be abracadabra. You don't know it can be anything. It can

be... Presto.

I think I prefer having it happen to me.

So it was your father who taught you this trick?

My father? No.

You say that like it is unthinkable.

And my father was content to apply his trade and display a cheerful

He was a man of no accomplishment.

But you believe.

You are destined for more.

You won't be known as a great man.

Yes, and I am your ticket.

You will return to America as the great scholar of the Nazis.

And I will have a trick to impress my daughter when this trial is done.

Stop taking me with you to see him.

I didn't want to bother you so late.

I've been seeing him a lot without me.

What are you doing, Doc?

Trying to learn something.

You sure that's what this is all about?

Good night, Howie.

defend yourself, Herman?

Oh, ha.

Would not you like to know? I'm serious.

Are we friends, Doctor?

I think that word is a little too simple for what we are.

But are you asking me this?

When I enter my plea, I will read a statement.

I am going to say that I assume all responsibility for my actions. I

will refuse, however, to accept responsibility for acts committed by

I was unaware of and I would not have approved of.

Not just the same for yours.

They told me I could find you here.

In seven hours.

The whole world is going to be focused on this room.

This is it.

This is everything.

This is the statement that Garin plans on reading tomorrow.

They didn't have a fatherland.

May it please your honors, the privilege of

opening the first trial in history for crimes against the peace of the world

imposes a grave responsibility.

The wrongs which we seek to condemn and punish have been so calculated,

so malignant, and so devastating.

That civilization cannot tolerate their being ignored because we cannot survive

their being repeated.

In the prisoner's dock sit 20 -odd broken men.

We will show them to be living symbols of racial hatreds,

of terrorism and violence, and of the

arrogance.

and cruelty of power.

Civilization can afford no compromise by dealing ambiguously or indecisively

with the men in whom these forces now precariously survive.

Wars are no longer local.

All modern wars

become world wars eventually.

And none of the big nations can stay out.

But the ultimate step in avoiding periodic wars in a system of

international lawlessness is to make statesmen responsible for the law.

And let me make clear.

that while this law is first applied against German aggressors, it must

aggression by any other nation, including those who sit here now in

We are able to do away with domestic tyranny and violence and aggression

by those in power against the rights of their own people only when we make all

men answerable to the law.

The defendants are to plead guilty or not guilty to the charges against them.

They will proceed in turn to appoint in the dock opposite to the microphone.

I am Hermann Wilhelm Goering. I stand before the court today and deferred.

The tribunal has reached the decision that the defendants are not entitled to

make a statement.

They will be permitted to address the court prior to their sentencing.

As Reichsmarschall of Germany. You are not Reichsmarschall here.

You are only Hermann Göring, the prisoner.

Do you plead guilty or not guilty?

What happened? Where are they?

What?

Where are they? They took them. Who?

American!

Thanks. I'm going to need it.

They've arrested Emmy Gearing on suspicion of complicity with her

theft. The kid goes to the nuns. No contact allowed.

They're women and children.

Yeah.

Sir, we're supposed to be better than this. It's out of my hands.

And you're welcome.

By the way,

How did you know where she was hiding?

Did Etta play for you again?

She did.

She's very talented.

She likes you.

Do you have the letters?

No.

No letters, unfortunately.

No.

Next time.

Here's my new daughter.

I was just talking about my family.

Ah, yes. I'm sorry to hear about that.

About what?

Their arrest.

Your wife and daughter were arrested five days ago.

He didn't tell you?

Hey. Hey. What the hell was that?

That was me being honest with my patient. Something you ought to try

You destroyed him in there.

So?

Jesus Christ.

You're a mental health professor.

Dr. Gilbert, would you like me to play Dr.

Kelly under arrest?

No, sir. Then get out of my goddamn office!

May it please the court, the prosecution would now like to enter into evidence

the following film footage.

The images you are about to see have never before been shown in public.

This film should offer a brief explanation of what the words

implied.

The locations of the largest concentration and prison camps

throughout Germany and occupied Europe under the Nazi regime.

The 4th Armored Division of General Patton's 3rd Army liberated this camp

in April.

They see the woodshed where lime -covered bodies are stacked in layers

stench is overpowering.

A slave labor camp at Nordhausen, liberated by the 3rd Armored Division,

Army. At least 3 ,000 political prisoners died here at the brutal hands

troops and pardoned German criminals who were the camp guard.

Nordhausen had been a depository for slaves found unfit for work in the

underground B -bomb plants and in other German camps and factories.

Amid the corpses are human skeletons, too weak to move.

One of our medical battalions worked two days and nights binding wounds and

giving medication.

But for advanced cases of starvation and tuberculosis, there were often no

cures.

Survivors are shown being evacuated for treatment in allied hospitals.

I'm a senior grade Jack Gates Taylor, U .S. Navy, from Hollywood, California.

Believe it or not, this is the first time I've ever been in the movies.

I was captured December 1st.

I was taken to this Mauthausen concentration bunker, an extermination

where we have been starving and beaten and

killed.

Fortunately, my turn hadn't come.

Five or six ways, by gas, by shooting, by beating, that is beating with clubs,

by exposure, that is standing

out in the snow naked for 48 hours and having cold water thrown on them in the

middle of winter, starvation, dogs, and pushing over a 100

-foot cliff.

This is all true, has been seen, and is now being recorded.

Nationalities and prison numbers are tattooed on the stomachs of the inmates.

In the official report, the Buchenwald camp is termed an extermination factory.

Bodies stacked one upon the other were found outside the crematorium.

A body disposal plant.

Inside are the ovens which gave the crematorium a maximum disposal capacity

about 400 bodies per 10 -hour day.

At all near mention, one of the oldest of the Nazi prison camp.

is what the liberators found inside the building.

an orderly road with the clothes of prisoners who had been suffocated in a

lethal gas chamber.

They had been persuaded to remove their clothing under the pretext of taking a

shower for which towels and soap were provided.

Planetary conditions were so appalling that heavy equipment had to be brought

to speed the work of cleaning up.

What I just saw.

How is it possible?

Himla.

Himla wasn't second in command.

You were.

1 ,200 camps.

What am I supposed to believe that he didn't know? Anyone can fake an

So you're saying the film was a fake?

That's your defense?

What would you have me say?

How about the truth for one fight?

So you can run and tell Jackson.

My friend.

Your hypocrisy is stunning.

My hypocrisy? You think American bullets and bombs don't kill people?

You vaporize 150 ,000 Japanese at the touch of a button.

And you presume to stand in judgment on me.

For war crimes. We had every right to defend ourselves. How do you defend

yourself on someone else's soil? There's a difference between us bombing war

factories and civilians dying as collateral damage and you building 1

slaughterhouses designed to exterminate an entire race.

And you know it! What do you think war is?

No one would ask for it today.

What do you think the Russians do to German prisoners of war?

You have your freedom.

And I am a prisoner because you won and we lost.

Not because you are morally superior.

This trial will be a farce in 15 years.

Great conquerors are not thought of as murderers.

Genghis Khan, Alexander the Great. You are not Alexander the Great!

You are a fat man in a cell.

a mistake.

You will not destined for more.

You will have an unhappy life, I think.

It will all be overshadowed by this, by the time spent with me.

You will write your volumes, trying to relive it.

The one moment in your life.

When you actually stood for greatness.

You think you're a great man?

You think that's your legacy?

At least I will have one.

You will leave no mark on this world.

I am the book.

You are merely a footnote.

and hang you by the neck till you kiss yourself and die.

Your wife will be a widow.

Your daughter will be an orphan.

And you will have done that too.

I know who you are.

What do you like?

You don't want to know.

Jackson's putting him on the stand day after tomorrow.

Jackson's going to get killed.

Why do you say that?

Because Gary is ready for him.

He was ready for all of us.

Why don't you?

Tell me all about it.

Look at that.

Your private conversations with Herman Goering made the front page.

Sir, I... You're finished.

I signed your transfer order this morning. You're to be sent back to the

where you'll be discharged.

You have embarrassed me and this office for the last time.

Sorry, Colonel.

You deserve better.

Yes, I did.

And just so you know, we are releasing Goering's wife and daughter.

You were right. We are better than that.

Thank you, sir.

Your train's at five o 'clock.

Don't take this the wrong way, but I never want to see you again.

Did you really mean it when you said Jackson had no chance?

Sure. It's all just a big show for the cameras anyway.

So it doesn't matter what happens tomorrow. If Curring beats Jackson, so

Yeah, I don't believe that.

Neither do you.

You know more about him than anybody on Earth?

Yeah, that's right. I do.

I spent thousands of hours with him. I run hundreds of tests. You know what

him apart from us?

Nothing. I know.

You know?

Because I'm one of them.

What are you talking about?

I'm German, Doc.

I grew up in Munich.

You grew up in Detroit. You said your mom spoke German.

She did.

So did my father.

Because I was raised here.

You're an American soldier.

Why'd you leave?

How do you think?

Me too.

You know, with the blonde hair and the blue eyes, I never got hassled much.

My father was a patriot.

He fought for Germany in the First World War.

We loved this country.

Eventually, he realized we had to get out.

How'd you do?

The problem was getting travel visas.

Other countries wouldn't take us.

My dad had a cousin in New York who helped.

We finally got our exit visas in 1940, but we only had enough money for one

ticket out.

My little sister Margo was only 11, so my

parents didn't want her traveling alone, so they sent me.

I stayed with my cousin.

And the Nazis invaded Holland.

My family never showed up.

That's when I went to Detroit.

Got a job as an apprentice in a tool factory.

My name was just in the baseball and the radio.

When Pearl Harbor happened, I was the first one in the recruitment office to

enlist.

You know what they said?

They couldn't take me because I wasn't an American citizen.

I'd have to wait to get drafted.

So I did.

I waited and I waited. I checked the mailbox every day.

For two years, June 6th, 1944,

landed at Omaha Beach on D -Day.

Four years earlier, I left this country

scared and alone in the middle of the night.

I came back with a goddamn army.

I found Margo.

She's in Switzerland.

She's 16 now. She blew me a relative.

She's good.

She made it.

And her folks?

I could show them.

My parents arrived at Auschwitz, August 12th, 1942.

Camp was liberated January 27th, 1945.

No sign of them.

The Nazis had a name for what they did to us.

The final solution.

Like we were some kind of nagging puzzle

that they finally figured out how to solve.

I'm so sorry, Howie.

I want to tell Stryker.

I want to tell him right before they put that rope.

Around his neck, I'm gonna tell that piece of shit that he was confiding in a

Jew.

You say it doesn't matter what happens tomorrow.

It matters.

More than you know.

Matters to me.

To my family, to all of Germany, Goering has to fall.

You think he's gonna beat Jackson?

You want to know why it happened here?

People let it happen.

Because they didn't stand up until it was too late.

Have a safe trip home, Doc.

Yes, sir. Of course.

No, I... I completely understand.

Thank you.

Truman's his name, Frederick Vinson, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.

Yeah,

I didn't want the job anyway.

Who would?

Hold him, sir.

You're walking into a trap.

Dr. Kelly, I was under the impression you'd been relieved.

Putting Goering on the stand gives him everything he wants. It's why he

surrendered in the first place.

His last chance to redeem the Reich on the world stage.

After what I read in the paper this morning, I don't believe I care what you

think anymore. You can't beat him. Talk.

Not without help.

This is everything I have on him.

Private files, off -the -book conversations.

I know more about this man than anyone else on the planet.

And it's all in here.

Why do you have this?

I was going to write a book.

Make something of myself.

It's okay.

So you really think I can't beat him?

Honestly?

I don't know.

You know, I was going to be Chief Justice.

I'll be lucky if there's a place on the court for me when I return.

As of six hours ago, I was discharged from the Army.

There's nothing left for us to do, sir.

Might as well go finish the war.

Trick is to use his vanity against him.

He is the Reich Marshal.

And the Reich Marshal is never wrong.

He can't be.

Every decision that's led him to this place has to be the right one.

So as much as he won't want to talk about the camps and the SS and the final

solution, you can make him own them.

Kelly's right.

Get him to admit to signing those orders.

And you'll have him.

I'll have him.

This is your day.

You're ready.

What is Doug Kelly still doing here?

No idea, sir.

All right!

Justice Jackson, are you ready?

Prosecution now calls Herman Goering to the stand.

For the record, is there any doubt in your mind that Adolf Hitler is dead?

I have no doubt.

So you are aware that this makes you the only living man who can expound to us

the true purposes of the Nazi Party and the inner workings of its leadership.

I am perfectly aware of this, sir.

Your party, from the very beginning, intended to overthrow the Weimar

That was our firm intention.

And upon coming to power, you immediately abolished parliamentary

Germany. We found it to be no longer necessary.

Is that because you believe people are not capable of self -government?

We were elected by the people.

and given a mandate for change.

The systems that had previously existed had brought Germany to the verge of

ruin. The old president Roosevelt said there are certain peoples in Europe who

have forsaken democracy, not because they did not wish for it, but because

democracy had brought forth men who were too weak.

After you came to power, you...

regarded it necessary to suppress all opposition parties, correct?

He found it necessary to no longer commit opposition.

And you also considered it immediately necessary to establish concentration

camps? The camps were set up as a measure against the communists

and their violence.

So it was necessary to erect a camp for them, one, two or three camps, something

like this.

You also...

Had to have certain groups to carry out orders and fight for you if necessary,

right?

Certain groups. Well, for example, if you wanted certain people killed, you

to have some organization that would kill them.

Yeah, Germany had this level of political police as you would find in

country. And the SA and the SS were the organizations that carried out these

orders and dealt with people on a physical level, were they not? The SA

received orders to kill anybody.

Neither did the SS, not in my time. Beyond a certain point, I had no

on it.

While the SS carried out arrests, they handled the transportation of people to

the concentration camps. Can you not recall a time when the SS began to

the function of acting as the executor of the Nazi party? It would be very

difficult for me to explain to an outsider whether the SS or the Gestapo

may not be active.

Try.

And perhaps as the police came more and more into the hands of Himmler,

expectations may have changed. Of course, it is well known that some SS

were guarding the camp and later performed some police functions.

And carried out other functions in the camp?

To what functions do you refer?

They carried out all of the functions of the camps.

Didn't they?

If an SS unit was guarding a camp and an SS leader was the

camp commandant, send it to Brachner to assume that

they would have carried out all of the functions of the camp.

Miriam. You have said that you wanted a strong German state.

to overcome the conditions of Versailles. Is that correct?

We wanted a strong German state, regardless of Versailles.

The first country to be absorbed by Germany was Austria, but it had not been

part of Germany before the First World War, and it had not been taken from

Germany by the Treaty of Versailles. Is that correct?

That is not entirely correct.

The second territory taken by Germany was Bohemia, then Moravia, and then

Slovakia.

These were not taken from Germany by the Treaty of Versailles.

nor had they been part of Germany before the First World War had. These parts of

Czech territory were not part of the smaller German Reich at the time of the

Treaty of Versailles.

However, formally, they were united to the German Reich for

hundreds of years. You still have not answered my question. I have answered

question. If the facts do not suit you, there is very little I can do. Can you

not answer yes or no?

Time may not mean quite as much to you as it does to the rest of us.

Mr. Justice, the tribunal thinks the witness ought to be allowed to make what

explanations he thinks right. I trust that the court is not unaware that

of this courtroom is a great social question regarding the revival of

And that one of the purposes of defendant Goering is to encourage and

it by propaganda from this trial now in process.

This witness has adopted, in the witness box and the prisoner's dock, an

arrogant and contemptuous attitude towards this tribunal, which is giving

the opportunity of a trial, which he never gave a living soul. The ruling

stands, Mr. Justice.

I must, of course, bow to the ruling of the tribunal.

and would simply request that the witness find a way to keep his answers

succinct.

Could you please repeat the question?

They were not taken from you by the Treaty of Versailles, were they? Of

Austria was taken by the Versailles Treaty, and also to Detenland.

For both these territories would have been German territories.

for the simple rights of the people to self -determination.

Now, I find that interesting, considering you just testified that

-determination was the first thing you took away.

From the very beginning, you regarded the elimination of Jews from the

life of Germany as one phase of the four -year plan under your jurisdiction. Is

that correct?

Partially correct.

Partially.

I see.

I would like to review with you briefly public acts taken by you in

reference to the Jewish question.

First, did you proclaim the Nuremberg Laws?

Yeah, I did. As President of the Reichstag, that was my job.

What date was that?

15th of September, 1945.

Then on the first day...

Of December 1936, you passed an act making it a death penalty for Germans to

transfer property abroad?

That is correct.

That was the decree governing restriction on foreign... Then on April

1938, you published penalties for concealing the character of a Jewish

enterprise within the Reich.

Concealing? Yeah. Then on April 26th, 1938, you signed a decree ordering the

registration of all Jewish property inside and outside of Germany.

It is signed by me. Then a decree on November 12th, 1938, imposing a fine of

billion Reich marks for atonement on all Jews.

Yeah, but... And that all damages caused to Jewish property by the riots of 1938

must be repaired by Jews immediately at their own expense and their insurance

claims forfeited to the Reich.

So many details here. And a decree on the 17th of September, 1940, ordering

sequestration of all Jewish property in Poland.

Yeah, in that part of Poland, it was a former German province. And on July 31,

1941, a decree asking Himmler and Heydrich to make plans for the final

solution of the Jewish question.

That is not correct.

I know that decree very well.

I ask to have you shown document 710.

Exhibit number USA 509.

I think it should be read into the record so we may have no argument about

translation. That document

is signed

by you, is it not?

Such is correct.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

Supplementing the task that was assigned to you on 124 in 1939, which dealt with

arriving at, through furtherance of immigration and evacuation, a solution

the Jewish problem as advantageous as possible, I hereby charge you with

all necessary preparations in regards to organizational and financial matters

for bringing about a final solution of the Jewish question.

Am I correct so far?

No, your translation is not correct.

Then please, give us your translation.

Supplementing the task which was entrusted to you.

In the decree dated January 24, 1939, to solve the Jewish question by emigration

and evacuation in the most favorable way possible.

Given present conditions, I hereby commission you to carry out all

preparations with regard to organizational, substantive, and

viewpoints.

Now here is the sentence for a complete

solution, not a final solution, for a total solution of the request.

A complete and total solution.

Complete and total, yeah. A complete and total solution you wanted the chief of

the SS to enact.

Yeah, but I would like to make an explanation.

Oh, please do.

I sent this letter.

to Himmler and to Heydrich, because it was some 18 months now since the

declaration of 24th of January 1939, and Heydrich had achieved very little.

So I charged him to accelerate the task of dealing with the immigration of the

Jews.

Immigration. You contend this letter was about immigration.

It says so in the first line.

That's just the first sentence. The letter goes on to state, my desire for a

complete solution to the Jewish problem and an end to their financial influence

by their emigration and evacuation from Germany.

It is in this document that we present.

Do you have any more questions for the witness, Justice Jackson?

Justice, is the witness excused?

I have a question.

The tribunal was under the impression the American prosecutor would be

this witness today.

The United States is always happy to hear from our distinguished colleague

Great Britain.

Just a few simple queries, Your Honor. It won't take more than a moment.

You've implied to this court that...

You lost some influence with Adolf Hitler in 1942, is that correct?

I believe this to be the case, yes. But you were still Reichsmarshal of Germany

in 1942, Hitler's successor, yes?

Yes, I was the Reichsmarshal.

And you're telling me that you were totally unaware 3 million Jews were

in 1942.

I was unaware of this. In 1943, at least 800 ,000 Jews were executed

in the camps. You were still Reichsmarshal in 1943. Is that correct?

That is correct.

In 1944, an additional 800 ,000 Jews died in the camps. You were still

Reichsmarshal in 1944.

Is that correct?

That is correct.

In 1945...

250 ,000, an estimated 6 million Jews in total, as well as Soviet and

Polish citizens, Romani people, artists, scientists, writers, journalists,

photographers, filmmakers, people killed, not in combat, not in enemy

exterminated by the state of Germany, the state which you were the

Reichsmarschall of, the preeminent political post of... of your country and

contend that you had no knowledge.

Please give me this.

Knowing what we know now, knowing what happened to six million Jews,

I have to ask, would you still follow

the funeral?

I don't hit mom.

I think this is as good a place as any to adjourn for the day.

You were right.

I couldn't beat him.

Not without help.

Geryn cannot stand against the Fuhrer.

Invaluable information, Doctor.

So what now?

If Geryn falls, so do they all.

We'll be okay.

Here.

You off?

One more thing I have to do.

Say goodbye.

What do we do now, Doctor?

Do we shake hands?

I know we were friends, Douglas.

say about us?

Would you even acknowledge we were human?

The judgment of the International Military Tribunal will now be read.

Each defendant will be addressed in turn.

Hermann Göring.

The evidence shows that after Hitler, you were the most prominent man in the

Nazi regime.

Your guilt is unique in its enormity.

Your record discloses no excuses.

The International Military Tribunal sentences you to death by hanging.

Riddle head.

You are indicted on all four counts.

The executions are scheduled for midnight tonight.

In order to maintain discipline, the prisoners will not be informed until 11

p .m., when they will be awakened in their cell and offered last rite.

At 8 p .m., eight hand -picked journalists will arrive at the prison.

Two French, two British, two American, two Russian.

Lights out is at 9 .30, which is when the doctor will do his normal final

rounds. Any prisoner requesting a sleep aid will be given a placebo with baking

soda.

At 10 o 'clock, we will bring the press down to the gallows where I will brief

them on the final preparations for tonight.

The prisoners will be brought in one by one and given the opportunity to speak

their last word.

They will then... Who

is it? Sir, sir.

No,

no, no.

Son of a bitch, you don't get to do that. He's dead, sir.

Fine, I... God damn it!

I'm sorry, sir.

But we have a decision to make.

We can either scrub the executions for tonight or proceed.

Let's just get home with it.

Sir, I... The director is refusing to put his clothes on.

Don't go!

Ask him his name.

You know my name.

Any last words?

Ha ha ha!

I have to be honest, Dr. Kelly, I find some of the conclusions in your book

quite unbelievable.

You were dealing with the Nazis, who you must admit are unique people.

They're not unique people. There are people like the Nazis in every country

the world today.

Not in America.

Yes, in America.

Their personality patterns are not obscure.

They're people who want to be in power. And while...

You say they don't exist here. I would say I'm quite certain there are people

America who would willingly climb over the corpses of half the American public

if they knew they could gain control of the other half. Doctor, please.

They stoke hatred.

It's what Hitler and Goering did, and it is textbook.

And if you think the next time it happens, we're going to recognize it

they're wearing scary uniforms.

You're out of your damn mind.

More with our panel when we return.

Yeah.

They're not going to invite you to stay for the next segment.

Let's go.

And just so you know, trashing our country is probably not the best way to

your book.
