Who to?

How should l know?
l was told to come here.

Wait here.

The major wil l call for you.

Come over here.

- Do you have a cigarette?
- l do. Why?

You' re from the reserve,
aren't you?

Then you stil l don't know
the smell of powder.

You're surprised.
Weak.

Do you have a light?
Then give it to the sergeant.

Sergeant! To the major!

We' ll surround Tolberg
within two days.

- And we' l l reach the sea.
- Yes.. .

You' ll reach it before us. Do you
already know what the thing is?

Yes, sir.
We' l l manage all right.

Jump out in a wood, ten kilometers
to the west of the town.

Next show up in the cellar
of a ruined house at 30 Keiserstrasse.

You' ll be at the disposal
of our agent J-23.

Don't use the radiostation
unless he orders you to.

Yes, sir.
How shal l l recognize him?

Have a look at this photography.

Hauptman.

For us he's worth more.
He's our major.

Attention, attention !

The SS commander for Tolberg
orders that.. .

tomorrow, that is
1 8 March 1 945.. .

al l women and their children under
1 5 turn up at the harbour,

in order to be evacuated
outside the front-line zone.

All men, not cal led up yet,
aged from 1 5 to 60.. .

are to report at the city HQ!

- ls the colonel in?
- l'm also waiting for him .

l' m glad we can spend some time
with each other, Hans.

- Rotten situation, isn't it?
- Yes, rather.

What are you going to do?
l asked you what you are going to do.

Nothing.
And you, Herman?

Tomorrow we may be
cut off from the sea.

- That's possible.
- Shall we al low that slaughter?

- Are you scared?
- How about you?

What are you real ly driving at?

Maybe it's time we started
thinking about ourselves.

Maybe we could.. .

Some idea has come to my mind.

- Tell Broch about it.
- You' re kidding.

l suggest a covenant.

The Reichsfuhrer strongly rejects
the idea of surrendering the city.

- The order is: no step backwards.
- Behind us there is only the sea.

Yes, only the sea.
Please report, Kloss.

lt's been quiet
for the last few hours.

We're cut off from the east
and the south.

This morning the enemy's armoured
units
reached the Szczecin road.

lf they reach the sea, the last
retreat route wil l be cut off.

This information is out of date,
Kloss. lt's already cut off.

They reached the sea two hours ago.

- Please report, Brunner.
- The city is quiet.

- You had 20 people executed.
- Yes, in the harbour this morning.

They were all healthy men
trying to get on board of a ship.

- And a few women.
- Continue, please.

The remaining ships
are setting off tomorrow.

- And what about the factory?
- Everything is ready for evacuation.

Professor Glass and the machines
are leaving tomorrow.

You know how important the matter is
for the Reichsfuhrer, don't you?

- And you' re in charge of that,
Brunner.
- Yes, sir.

- The SS wiil surround the harbour.
- The harbour will be surrounded.. .

by the Wehrmacht.
The SS wil l take care of the factory.

As you wish, sir, but l'm afraid. ..

That's all Brunner. Thank you.
Good-bye.

- Anything else?
- Nothing really.

Congratulations on your having been
appointed defense commander for
Tolberg.

You must be joking.
lt won't take long, will it.

- What are you going to do?
- To execute the order.

Together with them?

l' ll send the Volksturm
to the canal. There's a gap.

Purely from the military
point of view.

So what?

- The conclusions seem self-evident.
- l'd rather you hadn't said that.

l bear no resposibility.
l just obey orders.

- Do you have any suggestions?
- No, l don't.

That's al l for now. l' m waiting
for the reports from sector 5.

Yes, sir.

Have these orders announced
through the factory megaphones.

Have these orders announced
through the factory megaphones.

The trucks will be here at 4 a.m .

But you know how busy we are
dismantling the machines.

We' ll destroy everything
you won't manage to dismantle.

Greta!

What is going to happen
with the personnel?

l don't know who you are talking
about.
About the foreign workers?

Don't worry about that.
l' l l take care of them myself.

Please have it announced
immediately.

But l'd real ly like to know
what will happen with them.

Does it really interest you
so much, professor?

The SS guard will only arrive
on the trucks.

We have no people, do you
understand?

We' l l give out guns
to German workers and engineers.

They will take care
of your favourites.

And pack your suitcases, please.

Attention, attention !

The foreign workers
of the day and the night shifts!

The SS and the police
commander's order is:

No one is allowed to leave the factory
without a special permit.

That any attempt at sabotage
or disobediance...

be punished by death !

How are you?

- Quite fine, sir.
- What about your arm?

lt's all right. lt was just a sprain.
l'm not used to parachute jumping.

Have you sent the report?

Yes, l have.
Aren't they searching yet?

l guess they haven't started so far.
What have you received?

The factory is to remain untouched.
The evacuation of neither professor
Glass...

nor the machines producing elements
for V-2 missiles are to be allowed.

- lt's easier said than done.
- What next?

Point out the weak points
of the defense system.

Report.. .

The canal two kilometres
from the factory.

This night or tomorrow morning. ..

the Volkssturm battalion
will deploy in this section.

- What about the factory?
- l don't know yet.

l have no acces to it.

By the way, there's information
about professor Glass's son, Kurt.

He is in our prisoner-of-war camp.

That's important.

Are you crazy?

But it was painted by Kurt.
Would you want to leave it?

You care about nothing.
Everything is on my head.

Calm down.

You could have obtained
Kurt's release from the army.

The Kreisleiter's son works in Berlin.
And your son... Oh, God!

Stop it!

You are at last.
Where have you been?

- l' l l teach you a lesson !
- Don't hit!

Poor me!
Get packing the crockery.

Some captain Kloss wanted to see
me. Show him to my study.

Good afternoon.
ls professor Glass in?

Yes. Come in, please.

- A glass of cognac?
- Yes, please.

French.

The last bottle.

You work for counter-espionage,
don't you?

l do.

Why is counter-espionage
interested in me?

Please excuse me, captain
but l have hardly any time.

l understand.
Would you like a cigarette?

American !

- A war trophy?
- Maybe. ..

Have you received the evacuation
order?

- You know l have.
- l do.

A sea voyage isn't the safest
but if it's a success.. .

What are you driving at?

lf it's a success you' ll continue
your research. Great prospects.

l'd rather you really told me what
l owe the honour of your visit to.

lt's not so easy, professor.

You are celebrating some sort
of anniversary this year, aren't you.

Are you joking, captain?

Ten years ago
assisstant professor Glass. ..

spent a few months
in Moabit prison in Berlin. ..

for the help extended
to a frind of his.

- Everybody knows about that.
- That's right.

Later on your great knowledge was
completely in the service to Germany.

Prizes, awards.. .
And finally this factory.

You surprise me, captain.

Have you been sent here
to check my loyalty?

l'm just wondering.. .

if you' re still anything
like the person you used to be.

- Your best friend, doctor Bart...
- Enough.

l guess that the German
counter-espionage. ..

has more important things to do
than bothering about me.

No doubt about it. Doctor Bart
was executed in Hamburg.

- Provocation?
- Suppose someone asked you.. .

if you consider it
necessary to evacuate?

Suppose.. . l repeated
this question at the Gestapo?

The one asking such a question
would probably be secured in some
way.

Just a bluff, captain.

We' ll see when we've put
our cards on the table.

l like theoretical considerations.
l am a mathematician.

The one asking the question
would have to offer some guarantee.

Do you mean the guarantee of
survival?

May be you could only be offered
a chance of survival?

The only possible one
in this situation.

lt's too enigmatic,
young man.

But suppose l'm not a fanatic...

and that theoretically l would be
ready to consider certain suggestions.

Sounds promising.

But only in the presence
of authorized persons.

Besides there is something
like the duty faithfulness.

A duty?
Does it mean approval of everything?

You are carrying things too far.
lt's risky.

We're talking theoretically.

Oh, l see!
Now you're withdrawing.

Even when talking theoretically
l'd have to know. ..

- if l'm talking to the right person.
- And if so?

Would you be willing
to consider some suggestions?

Within certain limits.

The demand is simple.
No evacuation !

Whose demand?
Who wil l hear the answer?

What do you know
about your son, professor?

For goodness' sake, you know
something about Kurt? Please talk.

He got missing two months ago.
ls he alive?

Yes, he is in captivity.

ls it certain?
Where is this information from?

The answer doesn't seem necessary.
l believe you understand now.

l suppose l do.

And if you'd like to repeat
this conversation to anyone.. .

Don't finish, please.
l understand everything.

This war is ruthless. The missiles
produced in your factory. ..

- are falling on London now.
- Enough!

- Stop it.
- Al l right.

l don't think you' l l be left in peace if
you don't turn up on the ship
tomorrow.

l suggest we meet at the corner
of Pommernstrasse at, let's say at. ..

- Show the captain to the door.
- Good-bye.

- Do you live here?
- Yes. My room overlooks the garden.

There's one important thing.
We have to meet tonight.

- See you, Agnieszka.
- See you.

You could help me.

lt's not necessary.
We aren't going anywhere.

- What did you say?
- l have good news for you.

Our Kurt is alive.
He's in captivity.

We were both in the same
clandestine organisation in Warsaw.

We were both in the same
clandestine organisation in Warsaw.

She's a great girl and a chance for
us. She may have a contact in the
factory.

lnform the HQ that l'm starting
the ''Glass'' mission.

You've got nothing to smoke again.

Take these. l' ll bring you more.

Be careful with the light.

- Yes, sir.
- Take care of yourself.

Watch out. ..

Careful ly. ..

Get the cart, Saszka!

You have to run away.

Be careful . Someone may see us.
What's up?

l overheard the conversation
between Glass and that officer.

Some guns have been brought here.
Then the SS is to arrive and you...

- l understand.
- You have to run away.

l' ll bring you my brother's clothes.
l' l l issue a pass.

And l' ll be watching
what they are doing with the others.

- Why? Don't you want to survive?
- Where those guns are.

- Staszek!
- Find out where those guns are.

Then the camp, the factory. ..

And since the Glasses
needed a servant.. .

l understand. How about
the boys from our group?

l got caught before the uprising.
They remained there.

Listen, Agnieszka.

Go to the factory now
and tell the folks. ..

that their operation must be
coordinated with the military
operation.

Tell them to get rid of the guard
at the main gate at 2.45.. .

and then to wait for us.
We're meeting by the gate at 2.30.

ls that al l?

Yes. lt's better
not to know too much.

Get up, Fritz!

l was to wake you up.

Where are you, Fritz?

Fritz!

Open the door!

Open at once!

Why do you lock your door?
Who's been here?

- Nobody.
- You're lying!

l heard someone here.

Where is my husband?
Where is professor Glass?

So you say that
captain Kloss was here?

Yes, he was.

- What for?
- l don't know.

- What were they talking about?
- l don't eavesdrop, sturmbanfuhrer.

That's a pity.

And next professor Glass
went to rest in his room , didn't he?

He was very excited and said
that he wanted to be alone.

l was in the room next to his.
l was thinking about Kurt.

- Who is Kurt?
- Our son.

We thought he was dead
but my husband told me. ..

that Kurt is alive and
that he's in captivity.

When did your husband
receive this news?

l don't know.

lt's a pity you don't know anything.
But when did he tell you about that?

He told me that right after
that captain had left.

Right after captain Kloss had left.
Are you sure about that?

Yes, l am. And he said
we weren't going to evacuate.

And that you were't going
to evacuate?

Brunner speaking.

l understand.
Al l right. Thank you.

Mrs. Glass! We, Germans
have to be tough.

Your husband,
professor Glass is dead.

Sector 5 - quiet!

So far quiet. ..

l think their offensive
will start no sooner than at 5 a.m .

l hope they' ll pass round the canal.

Our radiocars are on the trail
of the enemy's radiostation.

- Here, in the city?
- Yes. Here, in the city.

ln the sector between
Kaiser and Pommernstrasse.

lf they have any information
about our defense system ...

- Are they transmitting?
- Yes. We've inercepted some
message.

The code department has been
working on it for two hours.

Our counter-espionage
is good for nothing, Kloss.

Falkenhorn starts searching
that area in half an hour.

l'm going back to sector 5.
l' ll be reporting by phone.

- Are you in a hurry, Hans?
- Yes, l am.

l' m afraid you' ll have to stay.

l'd like to ask captain Klossa few
questions in your presence, colonel.

- What's that supposed to mean?
- l' l l make it clear soon.

What were you doing
this afternoon, Kloss?

- l don't like such a tone, Brunner.
- You're oversensitive, Hans.

What were you doing from
5 and 8 p.m . today?

l won't answer any questions unless
you tel l me what's it all about.

- A good method!
- Start talking, for heaven's sake!

Kloss has been here since 9 p.m.
There's no time for fiddle-faddle.

l' l l tel l you right now.
Professor Glass has been murderd.

- Do you know what it means?
- But what has Kloss to do with that?

He was the last person to see him
alive.

- Did you visit him?
- Yes, l did.

- What for?
- The professor is an old frind of mine.

False! Mrs. Glass said she had
seen you for the first time.

Maybe.. .

- What were you two talking about?
- l went thare to say good-bye.

And the upshot of that. ..

was professor Glass's decision
not to evacuate. Right?

- What do you know about his son?
- Nothing.

- You're lying.
- l'm warning you, Brunner.

Stop it. The murderer of professor
Glass must be immediately found.

- Where is the body?
- Next door, in my office.

- Do you mind, colonel?
- No, l don't. Go ahead.

What about
the radiostation, colonel?

ln half an hour gendarmerie and
Folkenhorn's platoon.. .

wil start searching that sector.

- And what?
- Nothing.

Mrs. Glass identified the body.

Yes, she did. By the smoking-jacket
and the slacks.

That man got completely
mangled, colonel.

But l don't quite understand
why he has his shirt inside out.

The professor isn't in the factory,
Freulein.

l know. l'm to fetch his briefcase.

- The Germans will be here any
minute.
- l'm start transmitting in ten minutes.

- Haven't you sent the last report yet?
- No, l haven't.

The operation in the factory
starts at 3 a.m.

We won't manage to inform
the HQ about that.

Go away, major. l' ll send the
message.

Are you crazy?

lf we don't send the message
the people in the factory will die.

We' l l try to defend ourselves.

Why don't you want to say
who that man is?

- Believe me, l can't.
- Al l right, Agnieszka.

We've got nothing to lose. But we
may save the factory and the people.

This town wiil be Polish
after the war.

- Maybe you'd better go, major.
- Four more minutes.

- Risky like hell .
- Quiet, sergeant.

The guns are in the guardhouse.

They still haven't distributed them
so we may manage.

- Have you talked to any people?
- l've chosen ten of our men.

- Yugoslav?
- Ready.

- And you Saszka?
- We've also got ten men.

At 2.45 a.m. Wacek and Saszka
will dispatch the guard.

We' ll try to take the guns.
Get back to work now.

Let's go to the office.
That German hag will stamp your
pass.

Start!

This is ''Vistula 5''. ..

Come on. Don't be scared.

There's no one here. She must have
gone to bring me her brother's
clothes.

- l wonder why she is doing that.
- How should l know?

l suppose she loves you.
And you?

You know you are
the only one l love, Agnieszka.

And she brings me food,
she's found out about these guns.

Who is this ''our man''?

He's Polish but in the uniform
of a German officer of the Wehrmacht.

Remember: you are only
to dispatch the guard.

Groll 45, 32, Konig 36, 38,
Schmidt 40, 42.

Kurt - downstairs!
The rest fol low me!

Only one. Let's try.

Change quickly!

What else can you tel l me
about this German officer?

Nothing more.
l've told you everything.

Associating with that Pole,
you disgraced the German race.

You know what the penalty
for such an offence is, don't you?

l do, sturmanfuhrer. But l .. .

But your sincere confession
has absolved you from all guilt.

- You no longer like Poles, do you?
- l hate them .

Your testimony wil l help us to
eliminate our serious enemy.
Therefore l think. ..

that we should, in the name of
Fuhrer, forgive Grata Raschke her
mistake.

Right.

Thank you, madam.

- May l leave now?
- Certainly.

Please wait for me in my office.

Wel l, colonel. lt's a
serious and dangerous enemy.

- lf it's al l true.
- Don't you suspect anybody?

As far as l remember,
he was even a friend of yours.

''A friend'' is such a strong word.

So we are both thinking about Kloss.

- ls the colonel in?
- Yes, sir.

Get out! Faster!

Get up!

Why are you waking me up?
l was to sleep for another hour or so.

- J-23 is reporting from Tolberg.
- During a war every report is late.

Give me a cigarette.

How about our famous J-23?

The operation in the factory
begins at 3 a.m.

A bit hasty. They're nervous.

The Germans don't expect
any offensive across the canal.

They're going to reinforce
the defense there only in the morning.

Cal l for Podgorsky. We' ll have a try.

l guess they' ll hold out
in that factory for some time.

2.40 a.m.

- lt's time.
- O. K.

Hands up! Halt!

What's the name of the officer
you had an appointment with?

- l know nothing about any officer.
- How was it?

That Polish girl told him their man
would come in a German uniform.

lf you tel l me everything,
you may save your lives.

What's his name?

You' ll tell me.

Take him separately.

Why, French?

Your boy-friend!
You' l l go instead of him.

Bastard!

l'm giving you three minutes.

They've dispatched the guard.
l'm going.

Halt! Hands up!

So you've come, Hans.
l've arranged that nicely, haven't l?

Oh, and here is the girl.
Stand by the wall over there.

And you, Hans,
have a look at them.

l never lose the last battle.

You bastard! You' re a skunk!
You're running away from the
burning...

ship like a rat. How long
have you been working for them?

Since the very beginning, Brunner.
Since the very first day.

l'm an officer of the Polish
intelligence service.

Then you will tell us everything.

- Contacts, names?
- What for, Brunner?

Sturmbanfuhrer,
the harbour is blocked.

Take everybody out!

- To be dispatched?
- Wait for my order.

This is Vistula 5.

J-23 arrested in the factory.
Help needed immediately.

l repeat. ..

The blockade of the harbour
surprised you? There's no escape for
you.

Do you think l won't manage?
Don't delude yourself.

Your situation is much worse.

l' l l have time to take care
of you and the others.

But first l'd like to talk with you.
Sit down, Hans.

- A cigarette?
- You've changed your tone?

The circumstances have changed.

Two officers of the same service
might do a deal. l have a suggestion.

l'm not interested in your
suggestions.

This morning l suggested a covenant
but you refused. The worse for you.

Now l've got something more
precious than the lives of these
people.

Something that the English and
Americans would be very grateful to
me for.

l've got Glass.

l knew about that.
lt was a fake murder.

You wanted to take him out
of the country and then trade him.

You're an exceptional bastard,
Brunner.

But it's only me who knows where he
is.

Don't be silly, Hans.
After al l l've got Glass.

Take the microphone and cal l
for the one who's mined the factory.

- l won't do that.
- Take the microphone!

Engineer Kroll is to call
at the duty-room !

Repeat!

Engineer Kroll is to call
at the duty-room !

Turn around.

Ask him where the detonators are.

Kroll has run away, sturmbanfuhrer.

- Where are the detonators?
- ln Glass's office.

Blow up the factory.

Don't shoot!

Where is Brunner?

Help!
