All language subtitles for HH-423 The Witness

( theme song playing )

Allow me, General von Rauscher.

Thank you, Klink.

Definitely a pleasure,
General von Rauscher.

This American colonel,
Klink... this, uh...

Hogan, Putzi, Hogan.

Hogan-- how would
you describe him?

Describe Hogan?

Well, I would say that
he is, um, unique.

Definitely unique.

Klink!

Yes, General?

A prisoner may have
a unique commandant,

but a commandant
has only prisoners!

Remember that, Klink!

A commandant
with unique prisoners

is a commandant
we can do without.

Oh, I couldn't agree
with you more, sir.

Could not agree with you more.

But, Putzi,
Hogan is unique.

( chuckling )
( chuckling )

Which is why,
Marya,

I am making this unique
playmate of yours

part of our unique
experiment.

Have you ever seen
such jealousy ever, Klink?

Tell me.

Well, yes...

and no.

MARYA ( over wire tap ):
Putzi, stop it.

You're terrible.

They are nothing more
than good friends.

I can tell.

Listen to him.

He can tell.

I would swear
that this woman is just...

All right, hold it.

I want to hear
about the experiment.

MARYA:
Putzi, stop it.

( chuckling )

Good friends?

Disregard appearances.

Von Rauscher...

Von Rauscher.

I've heard that name,
Colonel.

He's one of
their bright boys

in new-weapons development.

Yeah, but what's he
doing here with her?

Schultz is
coming.

All right, keep listening
and don't miss a word.

SCHULTZ:
Colonel Hogan?!

Yes.

Oh, Colonel Hogan,
you're wanted
immediately

in the office of
Commandant Klink

by order of General
von Rauscher.

What's it all about,
Schultz?

My lips are sealed.

Oh, naturally, uh,

but, uh, you do have an ear
to the ground, Schultz.

Well, all I know is

that woman is here
again-- that Russian.

Remember,
she was also here

when the rocket-fuel
depot blew up.

What do they want
with me?

My impression is that the woman,

at the time
of the big boom-boom,

was madly in love with you.

My impression also
is that at the present time,

she is madly in love
with General von Rauscher.

Therefore, Colonel Hogan...

Therefore what, Schultz?

Therefore, I would rather
be me than you.

Shall we go?

General
von Rauscher,

Colonel Hogan.

Sir.

Do not salute me, Hogan.

Kiss me.

Colonel
Robert Hogan--

senior prisoner-of-war
officer.

The iron control of this man--
the long winter nights

he has spent on his prison cot,
dreaming of my embrace.

Fortunately
that is now over.

What did you see
in him, Marya?

He forced himself
on me,

and I adored it.

General von Rauscher...

Quiet!

He will do.

He is adequate.

Adequate?

He is sensational.

Adequate!

Hogan, did you know
the war is over?

The war is over?

Who won?

Dismiss
this man!

Schultz, dis...missed!

Jawohl,
Herr Kommandant.

You do not seem
to be surprised

by the news, Hogan.

Not really,
but I must say

you put up a game
little fight.

Not only is the war over, Hogan,
another surprise--

you are the one who will
tell the Allies they have lost.

Well, General,
although I appreciate
your asking...

We are not offering you
a choice.

We are giving you an order.

Yes, Hogan, an order!

Your military
specialty, Klink,

is interpreter?

Interpreter?

Definitely not.

Because I believe
that calls

for a rating
of full corporal.

Of course, sir.

That's very fair, too.

So, Hogan,

through the good offices
of our mutual friend here...

Thanks a lot.

It was nothing,
darling.

You have been chosen

to be the witness of
a historic demonstration

of a new weapon developed
under my command,

which will convince
the Allies all is useless.

After the demonstration,
you will fly back

to the United States
with the news.

Why do you want
a witness?

Don't tell me you're not
going to try this thing out

on a live target.

Of course a live target.

But the most difficult,

the most elusive
target imaginable.

Once that target vanishes,

you will corroborate
that we hit exactly

and precisely
what we aimed for.

You will be doing your country
and England a great favor.

What about Russia?

We are hopeful that the
United States and England

will then join us in our
little crusade against the East.

Don't hang by your thumbs.

That is all,
Hogan!

Pack your gear.

We leave
within the hour.

Terribly sorry
to lose you, Hogan.

You are not
losing him yet, Klink.

But the General said...

You are coming along

to be in charge
of Hogan's security.

And if he escapes...

up against the wall,
Klink.

Up against the wall.

The General certainly
has a way with words.

Any more questions?

Just one: Why me?

Because of what we
once had together.

I'm asking you, General.

Why me?

I will tell you.

Marya has
intimated to me

that your role
here at Stalag 13

is not entirely,
shall we say, passive.

I don't understand, General.

You will.

Her little hint fits in with
what we know about this area--

a center
for sabotage,

clandestine
operations,

commandos,
everything!

Surely the General...

You are
interpreting again!

"Corporal Klink"--

it has a nice ring
to it, no?

"Corporal Klink"--

it has a nice ring
to it, yes.

So, Hogan,

by reassigning you,
so to speak,

we are killing two birds
with one stone.

( chuckles )

Clever.

Diabolically.

Do not thank me, Hogan.

You will make it up to me...
in other ways.

Perhaps she's under
the influence of drugs.

( all exclaim )

All right, all right,
it was just an idea.

All right, look,
I'll try to get
in touch with you

wherever they take me.

Above all,
keep loose.

If they come after you,
fold up Stalag 13.

What?!

You've
got to be
joking, sir.

Fold up
Stalag 13?!

That's an order.

Yes, sir.
Right, sir.

All right, Colonel.

Roger, Colonel.

If there's anything
that can be done

about their so-called
superweapon, I'll try to do it.

If not...

You know, sir,

I kind of
always thought

that if there was
to be an ultimate weapon,

it would've been mine.

You did fine,
Carter.

All of you.

( knock on door )

Colonel Hogan.

Yeah, I know, Schultz,
time to go.

Although I don't know
where it is,

I'm supposed
to go with you,

guarding you
from escaping.

You do not intend
to escape, do you?

We'll see, Schultz.

Because I did not like
the way

General von Rauscher said,
"Up against the wall."

I'm not quite sure
what it means,

but I'm quite sure
I don't like it.

Schultz,
if you don't mind...

Oh, excuse me.

Of course.

I'll wait outside.

Who won the war?

It's still up
for grabs.

Good.

I'm bipartisan myself.

Well, fellas, I guess
I've said everything

that has to be said.

If we don't meet again,
it's been fun.

Good luck.

Good-bye, sir.

Thanks, Carter.

VON RAUSCHER:
Well, you see it,
Hogan.

What do you think,
huh?

HOGAN:
Looks like a standard
V2 rocket to me.

Correct,
on the outside.

But on the inside

where Dr. Zagoskin
is working,

it is vastly different.

HOGAN:
I'd like to see that.

Sorry,
my dear Hogan.

I told you, Putzi,
he's always thinking.

What's inside, a new
guidance system?

Years ahead
of its time--

infallible,
sophisticated.

In one sec, it will home in
on any target, Hogan,

any target--
stationary or moving.

You're happy for us, Hogan.

"Us"?

Of course.

Zagoskin is a Russian--
a genius.

You deserve
each other.

As a military man,

you will see
what this means.

Once in mass production,

we will be able
to shoot down at will

any train,
plane, ship;

hit any single
vital factory;

blast any armored
columns.

( chuckles )

Hogan, in your own terms,
you have had it.

My warmest congratulations
to the General.

I always said when you
find a smart Russian...

Oh, Schultz,
be quiet.

So, uh, when's the
grand demonstration?

Tomorrow at midnight.

Zagoskin!

Zagoskin,
come down!

I was about to tell
our witness

of the target.

Somewhere in
the North Sea,
Hogan,

the British battleship
Duke of York

is on patrol.

Where,
we do not know.

We do not have
to know.

The rocket will know.

Yes, Zagoskin?

Huh?

Oh, a battleship--
not a problem, no.

The adjustment
has been made.

Sometime
after midnight,

the Duke of York

will simply vanish
from the surface of the sea.

Beautiful.

With 3,000 men.

A detail.

The theory will be
a submarine attack

or a giant mine.

But you, Hogan,
will arrive

with the true story.

The United States
and England

will quickly sue
for peace.

All is clear?

Just one thing.

You're a Russian
national?

Huh?

Oh, I suppose so.

Things like that,

they're not
important to me.

You're aware if the Nazis
can use a thing like this

to knock us
out of the war,

their next target
is Russia?

Oh, there
you are wrong.

I have been assured

it will never be used
against my Russia.

Never.

You're not only
a traitor,

you're a fool.

VON RAUSCHER:
Hogan...

you forget the war is over.

Not yet.

At least not until
tomorrow night.

Oh, and you are looking

for some way to alter
the course of history

or the course of the rocket?

Not necessarily,

not with Sergeant Schultz
and Colonel Klink to guard me.

That's true.

The General knows my record
at Stalag 13--

not one escape,
not one.

And never even
any monkey business?

Monkey business?

Never, General von Rauscher.

Never!

Ah!

Well, Hogan, I have
no more worries.

HOCHSTETTER:
You better stay away
from that rocket!

Did you hear me?

What is going on
there?

Back, back, all of you, back!

Who are you?

Major Hochstetter,
Herr General,

in charge of
security here.

And you're all
much too close
to this rocket.

My dear Major, there is
no danger of it firing.

Firing?

Who's worried
about firing?

I'm worried
about spying.

Are you aware that I am
in charge of this project

and that this is
the inventor?

( scoffs )

Until I clear you,

please stop
inventing.

Who is
that woman?

She is my interpreter,
Hochstetter.

Oh?

Yes, Major Hochstetter,
and I believe a full corporal.

What is this bungler
doing here?

He's responsible
for the security
of our witness.

I am responsible
for security here!

What witness?

Hi, there.

What is this man
doing here?

Hochstetter, I am
in charge of this project,

and I am operating
under direct authority

of the German
general staff.

Traitors, all of them.

What is this man doing here?

I am in charge
of security!

What is this man
doing here?!

He is our witness.

Witness?

You have chosen
the most dangerous man

in all Germany
as a witness.

The Gestapo
is taking over.

I will surround this camp
with a ring of steel.

Anyone within a hundred yards
of this rocket

will be shot and re-shot.

Major
Hochstetter,

it's a pleasure
to have you aboard.

( yells in frustration )

Oh, Colonel Hogan,

it seems you have
a visitor.

What are you talking
about, Schultz?

The rules are no visitors,
but for that visitor,

I am convinced
I would be worse off

if I did not let her in
than if I did.

She's very much
like you, Colonel.

Mm-hmm.

I have come to you,
Hogan darling.

Yes, well...

You're not dying
from sheer desire?

Not the kind
you mean, no.

Oh, again you
misunderstand me.

I am on your side.

You are?

By telling von Rauscher

about our operation
at Stalag 13?

By contriving to get me out
of there and sent home?

By being part of
a plot to win the war
for the Nazis?

Get off my side.

First time we're alone,
and you talk politics.

Oh, look...

I admit circumstantial evidence
is against me,

but I expected you
to have faith, Hogan.

You expect me
to have what?

Faith.

My real mission is
to get Zagoskin out of here

and back to Russia.

I could have done it alone,

but there's so much more fun
together, Hogan, hmm?

That's your mission?

Of course.

You brought your men with you
from Stalag 13,

especially my-- mmm--
delicious small one, LeBeau?

No, I didn't bring
your delicious small one

or any other kind.

How was I to know?

Think with your heart,
Hogan.

What about the rocket?

What do we do about that?

Do anything you want.

Do I know from rockets?

Yeah, it's against
my better judgment,

but I guess I'll have
to trust you.

Ah... you never could
resist me, Hogan.

Yeah, look, they must have
a shortwave set here.

Can you get access to it?

I've got access
to you, darling.

Mm-hmm, I want you to transmit
this message, word for word,

and if luck is with us,
my boys will hear it.

( sighs )

I melt when you
trust me like this.

Hogan, this is
highly irregular.

You would dare to interrupt
a Gestapo interrogation?!

The Gestapo?

Why, certainly not.

She's not
a corporal, sir.

She's a
lieutenant colonel.

She outranks
Hochstetter.

While I have always cooperated
with the Gestapo most fully--

and my record is
quite clear on that--

still, under the circumstances,
I feel obliged

that I must report this
to Major Hochstetter.

I would not.

You see,
I am watching him.

Oh, of course.

That's most thorough.

Then I shall mention it
to no one?

No one!

Dismissed!

He's about to crack.

( Zagoskin singing drunkenly
in Russian )

At last...

we are almost alone.

What's with
von Rauscher?

He will sleep until
the rocket launching.

Do not press me
for details, darling.

Okay, I won't.

Be as jealous
as you want, darling.

Yeah, later.

I've got to meet my boys
in the woods.

Zagoskin?

Oh, what a busy evening
it has been for me.

He is ready to talk,
to cry, to sing.

Is he a Russian?

He might have
a bad singing voice,

but we'd better talk
to him now.

Hey, Zagoskin...

Zagoskin.

Oh, you... you... you called me
a traitor, a fool,

and you were right.

Well,
nobody's
perfect.

Ilich, Ilichska...

Stop that.

Not now.

Wake up. Wake up!

You hear me?

Are you up?

Hogan is my friend.

He's working with me.

He is on our side.

You hear me?

Mm-hmm.

We must have answers
from you.

ZAGOSKIN:
Life teaches
only one thing:

There are no answers.

Look,
make a guess.

What happens
tonight when your
rocket goes up?

Oh, I was not taken in, no.

There you were wrong.

I knew they would use it
against my Russia.

Then why'd
you make it?

Or did you?

( slams palm )

Of course I made it!

I had this theory.

I wanted to see
if it would work.

It did!

It did.

Oh, it did.

Look, what happens
tonight?

Does it wipe out
the battleship?

Huh? Oh...
battleship.

No, no.

What, then? What?

It will arise majestically...
fly from sight,

and exactly 18 minutes later,
return and kill everyone here,

including Ilich Igor Zagoskin.

I shall have atoned.

( sobs )

You don't come up with
any easy ones, do you?

Never.

All right, Carter,
give it back to me.

I want to make sure we're
all straight on this.

Yes, sir.

I go 100 yards due south
from here.

That puts me near
the perimeter to the camp.

At 2200 hours-- 10:00--

I fire a couple of bursts
into camp,

and then I set off
my firecrackers.

Right.

Boy, I got some
beauties here, Colonel.

They're going to sound
like rifle shots.

I hope.

This is going to be

one of my
greatest diversions.

As soon as you set them off,

come back here
and wait for the others.

Yes, sir.

The rest of you
will be with me.

After, you return to
Stalag 13 the same way you came.

What about you,
Colonel?

If things work out,
I'll meet you there.

I told you, Colonel, right?

I said she's on our side.

I think she's on our side.

I'm not sure.

Good luck, Carter.

Okay, let's go.

( gunfire continues;
bullets ricocheting )

HOGAN ( shouting ):
All right, on your feet!

It's a partisan attack.

Join the other troops.

We'll guard the rocket. Now!

( speaking normally ):
All right, you guys stand guard.

Come on, Kinch.

( firecrackers pop )

( popping continues )

We got trouble coming, Colonel.

All right, behind
the rocket-- come on.

What is happening here?

Where's the other guards?

It's a partisan attack.

The other guards
went to fight.

I will have them shot.

Good work.

Danke.

Come with me,
Klink.

To the fighting, Major?

Of course
to the fighting.

Where, then?

You go ahead.

I meet you there.

I-I... I forgot my helmet.

Klink! Klink!

Dummkopf!

Schultz, guard this rocket
with your life.

Jawohl, Herr Major.

With my life?

( firecrackers popping )

You think there's
any danger here?

You're as safe as in
your mum's arms, Schultzy.

Good.

"Schultzy."

You!

Hi, Schultz.

Fancy meeting you here.

LeBeau!

Look over there, Schultz.

Like old home week.

I see nothing...
nothing!

HOCHSTETTER:
I do not like this.

Too many things
are happening--

an attack
that is not an attack,

guards deserting their posts.

And where is Zagoskin?

Sleeping.

We could not rouse him.

Well, if anything
goes wrong,

I will find ways
of rousing him.

VON RAUSCHER:
Quiet!

Countdown.

Countdown.

HOGAN:
Exciting, isn't it?

HOCHSTETTER:
Quiet!

Eight, seven, six,
five, four,

three, two,

one... fire!

( engines roaring )

( explodes )

Bunglers! Traitors!

Someone will pay for this.

Heads will roll.

I don't understand.

Every test was perfect.

Hogan, from the first,
I suspected you.

What do you have
to say?

Well, back to
the old drawing board.

Berlin is calling
every minute--

"What happened
to the Duke of York?"

Nothing is what happened
to the Duke of York!

Bad scene, Major.

Hogan, I will not
go down alone.

If my head is to roll,
all heads will roll.

Except, Major,
I quite clearly had no part

in this whole affair.

Therefore, I...

All heads will roll.

All heads will roll.

Oh, that's quite
democratic, sir.

Poor Putzi-- so handsome
and so unlucky.

Traitors! All of you!

I fully intend...

Hogan, why are you
so composed?

It's obvious, Major.

You've already figured how
to turn this to your advantage.

I have?

He has?

Of course!

The ultimate weapon
didn't quite work out,

but the major has a plan

to cripple the entire
Russian rocket program.

He has?

Go on, Hogan.

You're pulling my leg.

You're not arranging
right now

for Zagoskin
to escape to Russia?

Of course you are.

He'll do for them
what he's done for you.

( chuckles )

It's worthy of
Himmler himself, Major.

Hogan, I...

Major Hochstetter is
a genius, Putzi.

He's saved us all.

Ja, I believe I have.

I'm sure you're still going
to send me home, aren't you?

Of course not.

Take him away, Klink,
back to Stalag 13.

Schultz, take him away.

That's cruel, sir, cruel.

Sensational.

Adequate.
