Halt! Attaque touche.

Touche reer. Two-Zero.

En garde.

Ready?

Fence!

Halt!

Halt!

Attaque, touche.

Touche Heydrich.

Two-One.

En garde.

Ready?

Fence.

Halt, halt, halt!

Christina!

I'm so happy you asked me to come.

Let me take that.

- Thanks - Good trip?

Birgitta, give me my dance card.

Sorry.

It's already full, darling.

No, it's not.

Not him, Lina. He's weird.

Steer clear if you want to stay intact.

Maybe I don't.

My name is Heydrich.

Reinhard.

Write it down.

It's so sad. Our country has become so weak.

Yes, well it's not gonna change any time soon.

Don't be so sure.

There is one man who could change everything.

If we are to take this any further,

I'd rather you knew my beliefs.

Does it bother you?

No.

Reinhard, you absolutely have to read Hitler's book.

Which book?

Mein Kampf of c-- Reinhard, you have so much to learn!

Okay. Okay, okay. Yes I do.

A lot. A lot to learn.

You like the picture?

I love the picture.

You look...

What?

...beautiful.

Thank you.

When I was a little girl, I would imagine that each of these

trees was a century watching over me as I passed by.

I wish you could have seen it in those days.

We had a party every weekend.

There were vast buffets, flowers everywhere.

There would be an orchestra who would play all night...

And when it was time to go to bed...

I would hide under the piano so my mother couldn't find me.

I wish you could have seen it in those times.

You have seen my parents.

Well, no one escapes the crisis.

And they're proud so they keep their heads held high.

But I know it grieves them to think of those lost years.

What I want more than anything...

is to live that time again.

And one day I will.

Shoulder!

Arms!

To the color- present arms!

I've never seen that woman before, sir.

Her name is Christina Wegel, she lives in Berlin.

She says she met you at a dance eighteen months ago

and that you have conducted intimate relations since.

She says she has visited you here several times where you

have taken advantage of her virtue.

I haven't.

And it was her clear assumption that you were betrothed to her.

Well, she's a lying bitch, sir.

Calm down, Reinhard.

Sh-- How can I calm down sir?

This woman, this woman is trying to ruin my reputation.

You've been summoned to appear in court-

with immediate effect.

A court martial, sir?

Yes.

You're a good soldier Reinhard.

But there is nothing more I can do to help you on this.

This young woman's father is best friends with

Admiral Raeder in Berlin.

Your Honors, this scurrilous accusation is nothing but lies.

Yet this is your signature, is it not?

This young lady did come and visit you at your request?

But it was never a serious relationship, sir.

And Miss Wegel was always aware of that.

So you did have sexual relations with this young woman?

I ask you again: did you, or did you not have

sexual relations with Miss Wegel?

She was the one that insisted upon seeing me.

And now, out of nothing but pure jealousy

is trying to ruin my future marriage.

I know you know what I mean.

I know you all know what I mean. None of you.

None of you men would marry a woman like this.

This court does not consider such behavior befitting an

officer of the German Navy.

And I pity the man who has to call you a son.

You may leave.

No visitors! I said no visitors!

None, none, none!

Open the door!

We need to speak about our future.

She meant nothing to me.

What?

She meant nothing to me. Nothing!

You'll never, ever speak about her again.

Ever!

Then be a man.

Don't cry.

Pull yourself together.

If you want to be my husband...

You'll be my husband.

And I mean it.

We will never, ever talk about this again.

Put some clothes on.

Your future father- in-law told me a lot about you.

How long have you been a party member?

Two months, Herr Himmler.

Not long.

I was in the Navy before that sir.

I know.

You were disgraced.

Yes.

That's of little concern to me.

I'm looking for someone to run the new SS intelligence unit.

Its objective is to gain information on

our political enemies.

And expose infiltration by government agencies

and foreign powers.

Tell me-

what is your philosophy on intelligence gathering?

Intelligence is a marriage of instinct and information, sir.

Go on.

Intelligence requires organization and industry.

No one, Herr Himmler, will work harder than me and no

one will be more organized.

Can you prove this?

Your chicken farm.

It makes no money, am I correct?

It's not your fault Herr Himmler.

You have six sheds, seventy chickens in each,

but you have foxes... getting inside.

I noticed the holes along the fence as I arrived.

You're not here enough to ensure adequate maintenance and your

farmhand is overweight and unable to perform physically

demanding work.

For an efficient farm you need proper upkeep and economies of

scale vastly in excess of what you have now.

See, I could run the farm for you and I guarantee within six

months I would give you a tenfold increase in profit,

and a complete eradication of fox attacks.

Or I could run your new SS intelligence division.

You could.

So you're saying he's married to a Nazi party member

but he's actually a communist.

Absolutely, sir.

And you can prove this?

It's confirmed by different sources, sir.

Excellent, alright.

Thank you very much.

Aye, sir.

Heil Hitler.

Heil Hitler.

You are Müller, yes?

Yes, Commandant.

I have been assigned to you by Herr Hitler.

I know. Heydrich. Welcome.

Our first objective, Herr Müller, is to put an end to

these Communist criminals.

I no longer want to see their posters

on our streets or on our nation's walls.

No German should have to read this filth.

The Communist Party is the only party that protects the workers!

Huh?

Lies and filth!

Huh?

All power needs men, in the shadows...

taking care of the most important secrets.

You agree Rohm?

You tell your comrades there is one party,

one people, one Germany, one Führer!

I've heard a lot about you...

a lot about your methods.

They say you have spies and informers all over the capital,

and enemies of the party are in terror of you.

You should join the SA, in fact.

Oh, come!

You have 40,000 soldiers already.

Is that not enough for you?

Jealous, are you?

Just because your little SS is operating out of a shoebox?

I've known Adolf for a very long time.

Yes, you are important to him now.

At least until he gets the party into power...

Well, we will see about that.

This wine is really delicious.

Yes, it is.

To Germany!

To Germany!

...a shoebox.

Yes, you're the man with a shoebox.

Huh.

Yes, it's funny, is it, girl? Mm.

Yeah, gonna mop the insurgent, huh?

Heil Hitler!

Heil Hitler!

Heil Hitler!

Heil Hitler!

You know who Hitler is?

Yeah.

That's him. See that man in the picture?

That's our leader.

He has just been named Chancellor of Germany.

Do you know what that means?

It means that he will be able to save our country.

That's why mommy and daddy are so happy today.

Mein Führer,

I stand by the principle that only the best of our people-

the racially most carefully selected,

of excellent character and pure spirit are capable

of providing a service to combat all that is negative

and returning our nation to greatness.

I am German mein Führer.

And I love my country.

Commandant Heydrich has assembled elements

confirming the Führer's doubts about Rohm and his men.

It is our duty as members of the SS to eliminate anybody that

stands in the way of the Führer and his great plan.

Our time has come to purify the party and eliminate all

dissident members.

Heil Hitler.

Never leave dirty glasses on the table.

- Lina. - Yes?

Stop running around like a headless chicken. Come.

Sit next to me for a moment.

Oh.

We are so happy that you made the time to see us today.

Of course.

Ah.

You must be very proud.

Oh, two boys, it's wonderful.

No.

I mean about Heydrich.

You were the one who put him on the right path to the Party.

He will go far.

I knew he would.

Reinhard is special.

He's very special.

You know what the Führer calls him?

'The man with the iron heart'.

This is Heydrich.

Boy or a girl?

You are the elite.

The new political warrior.

Chosen because of your racial quality, your ideological

commitment, your competence.

The Führer has tasked us with the most important of missions.

The Germanisation of the new Reich.

As the Wehrmacht conquers we must cleanse.

All aliens, all sick,

all hostiles to the nation will be eliminated.

This is too much for an individual, but as the SS,

the Einzatsgruppen, we'll be strong.

And remind you of your sacred oath:

spare neither your own blood...

nor the blood of others,

when the fate of the Nation depends upon it.

Future generations will thank us...

when they realize what we have undertaken.

Heil Hitler.

I've kept you waiting, General.

Not at all, sir.

You've had a long journey?

Enjoyable.

You move quickly, general. The war goes well.

It appears your troops have no equal.

They sweep all before them.

I know you're busy, so come straight to the point.

My Einsatzgruppen cannot perform as expected without the

proper support and cooperation of the Wehrmacht, sir.

I run a regular army, General Heydrich.

We fight other armies.

Your men are thugs.

The Führer, sir, is fighting a war unlike any other.

A war?

I am General of the Wehrmacht.

I was fighting at Verdun before you even reached puberty.

Don't try to tell me about wars.

You're right.

You do your job, and I will do mine.

And my job, general, is policing and intelligence.

Yes, I watch, I take notes, and I inform.

And I will be informing the Führer's office of your

predilection for young whores.

I beg your pardon?

Berlin brothel.

22nd of August, Ilena Mandel, 21 years of age.

22nd of November, Katarina Werke, 17 years of age.

February 9th...

Enough!

You are a high-ranking officer of the German Wehrmacht

and fucking impure women and bringing disgrace

upon your family.

I doubt any Court Martial will look kindly upon you.

You'd know all about that, wouldn't you?

So?

I will send you all information gathered by the Wehrmacht on the

opponents of the regime.

But you can only begin your... cleansing after we have left.

Excellent.

Ready!

Fire!

Step forward.

What is the problem?

The guns are jamming in the heat, General.

Again.

Yeah. G, H minor.

OK, from the beginning.

It's so nice to spend a little time together.

Well, we're gonna be spending more time together

once we get to Prague.

Prague?

Yes.

Klaus.

The Führer has made your father ReichProtektor

of Bohemia and Moravia.

From the beginning.

Reinhard! That's...

No.

Watch your pedal.

- Yes. - Yeah?

- How long have you known? - Again, again, again. A month.

Just pick it up again. Again.

Concentrate, Klaus.

A month?

Why didn't you tell me?

Klaus.

Because it's confidential.

Come on, you can do better than this. Okay?

Yes.

We stand at a unique moment in history.

Prague,

alongside Berlin and Vienna,

has been chosen to become the first

city free of Jewry in the new Reich.

My predecessor's policy of tolerance

is no longer enough to achieve this objective.

All Jews will be required to immediately report to the

nearest police station and required to wear a distinctive

symbol testifying to their race.

All Czech resistance organizations

will be destroyed and dismantled without mercy.

At the same time, we will increase the salaries of all

Czechs working in the armaments factories.

The Czech people must know

that so long as they are our friends,

we will be theirs!

Smile.

Heil Hitler!

Sieg heil! Sieg heil! Sieg heil!

You're leaving?

Yes.

Where are you going?

Berlin.

- Berlin? - Yes.

Why?

Because it's Berlin.

Because, I have a very important meeting.

- I see. - Yes.

Okay...

Were you going to tell me about it?

Reinhardt the only reason I know you are going is when

I see your cases in the hall.

I can't take it anymore.

Take what?

I feel you've abandoned me here.

I don't know who I am, and I don't know who you are.

Yes, well...

You're doing brilliantly, I know.

But I go out in the streets and everybody knows who I am,

and I feel like some sort of strange animal.

What is it that you want? Did you want me to--

Did you, did you want to go back to Germany, is that it?

No.

I want to be with you.

You are with me.

But I want to be with you.

Yes?

Thirty minutes.

Thirty minutes, is that all I get?

Reinhard, you wouldn't even be here if it wasn't for me.

Have you forgotten about our past?

Who saved you?

Enough! OK, enough!

You are my wife.

One more word and you won't be much longer.

I'm sorry.

In addition to the wider issues of methodology

and timescale of the cleansing,

there are important clerical and legal

decisions to be made at this meeting.

I have itemized them as follows.

Please hand them around.

Jews with military decoration.

Half-Jews. Quarter-Jews.

Jews in mixed marriages.

We shall review them all one by one.

Will you please turn to page five, gentlemen?

This will give you some idea of the task at hand.

The figures from our most recent census,

dated the 1st of January 1942.

Germany: 700,000, Poland: 2 million.

Latvia: 300,000, Lithuania: 150,000.

Estonia: already cleansed.

Satellite countries - Slovakia: 88,000, Croatia: 40,000.

Allies - Italy, including Sardinia: 58,000.

Neutral countries - 18,000.

Sweden: 8,000. Turkey: 55,000.

And so on down the page.

The Einsatzgruppen are already working at maximum efficiency.

The elimination of between eleven and twelve million

individuals requires a more systematic approach,

requires more advanced technology.

There is much work to be done.

The final solution aims to group our Jews in concentration camps.

Separated by sex, those that can work will build roads, etcetera

in these territories which should result in a natural

reduction in their numbers. For the rest,

we should apply treatment more conducive to mass extermination.

First!

And in the head, look!

Accept defeat, Private Gabcik.

Shoot. Shoot.

Yes, finish.

You can come over here, and just whisper in my ear.

I can tell you Valcik, but it's above your paygrade.

Slovak to Slovak, you tell me: you're going to go,

right? You're going to go and join The Three Kings?

You're wasting your breath Valcik.

What? Why am I wasting my breath? Jan, Jan.

- Yes, what? - Come, come.

Soldier to soldier, you're going to go, and you're going to join

the resistance, you're going to fight with Moravec.

- Yes? - Who knows?

Alright Valcik.

If you have to know that badly.

We have been given a mission for Valcik.

We've been asked to go in, rescue and safely bring back

all of the president's suits.

Fake! Fake!

It's true!

- You're lying, Josef. - It's true!

President Benes had to leave the country empty handed.

Now I understand. Now I understand.

Don't mock the mission, Valcik.

Silence!

We're about to fly over Pilsen. Get ready!

Jan and Jozef jump here.

The others in 5 minutes.

OK?

Go! Go! Go!

No, it's too tangled, Jan.

Damn it!

You realize the Resistance dropped two parachutists just

outside of the city last night.

Yes, Obergruppenführer. We are working on it.

And where are you with the Three Kings?

Oh, we're still looking.

Do you need my help?

No, Obergruppenführer.

Good. Let me know when it's done.

Of course.

I really thought we'd lost you.

Security checks are getting tighter.

Especially going into Prague.

You'll have to split up... blend into the crowd.

Now.

Work certificates.

Here.

Wear this when you arrive.

Your contact will know you. Here.

Okay.

Daniel?

You.

Your papers.

Which plumber do you work for?

Lipanska.

This is my family.

Say hello to your cousin.

Hello. Josef.

- Hello. - Hello.

We don't talk in front of them.

Actually, don't talk at all.

Everyone is a potential enemy.

The Nazis starved us.

Then they told us information was priceless.

That's how they turn people against each other.

Thank you.

Your friend is safe.

Tonight you will sleep here, but tomorrow,

both of you will join a new family.

Since they spotted the airplane, the Nazis have been

tailing us constantly.

Heydrich wants the heads of the Three Kings.

I still need to meet them.

Yes of course. I will tell you where and when.

First, a contact from your new family will meet you.

Sorry, we are closed.

Oh, I just want a quick shampoo.

Don't worry. I'll take care of him, close up after.

Suit yourself.

I've been waiting for you.

Please, sit there. We will do the shampoo.

You can come in now.

If you need anything else, just ask.

My wife's left some clothes on the bed for you.

- Make yourself at home. - Thank you, Mr. Novak.

Good night.

Go to your room!

Pillows.

Normally this is my room,

but I'm going to sleep with my sister.

It's a good cover if we walk through the city together.

This is true, yes.

Don't tell father.

Where is he?

Talk to me! Huh? Where is he? Where?

Reichprotektor.

Josef Masin, he can hear me, yes?

Yes, he can.

Josef.

It is Heydrich, the Reichprotektor.

Yes.

Vaclav Moravec, where is he?

No.

Stand up.

- He's paralyzed. - He's what?

He's paralyzed.

Then get him up!

Josef.

Where are the parachutists?

What do they want?

What does England want, Josef?

Vaclav Moravec, where is he?

Long live Czechoslovakia!

Long live Czechoslovakia!

There are THREE Kings, gentlemen.

Find Moravec.

Jan!

- I'm glad to see you my friend. - Oh yeah?

- How are you? - I'm good. And you?

Yeah? I'm OK. I've been reading books.

- You've been reading? - Yes.

I don't believe it.

Oh. These old people,

they just drink tea and play bridge all day.

I'm going out of my mind. I'm starting to miss England.

You poor thing.

- What's that face? - Huh?

- What's that face? - What face? It's my face.

You've seen some action already, haven't you?

- No. - Hm-hm.

Don't lie to me, Jan.

Smell this. Smell.

- You smell like lavender. - Lavender!

Did you know there's a war on?

Where are you getting lavender shampoo?

Hey.

That's Moravec.

Please, sit down.

Something serious has happened.

The SS found our hideout.

They killed Balaban, and Masin must be dead by now, too.

I'm the last of The Three Kings left.

And apparently, Heydrich has heard about your operation.

He's desperately trying to find out why you're here.

He'll know soon enough, sir.

Listen to me.

This is not just any old mission London has entrusted you with.

Understand me?

Yes, sir.

Do you have one of these?

I know someone who can fill you in about Heydrich.

When can we meet him?

Tomorrow.

Prepare the operation.

As soon as you're ready, I'll tell you about your escape plan.

You can leave now.

Sir.

What do you do at the chateau?

I take care of the house.

And you work there all week?

Yes. From dawn until, Mrs. Heydrich tells me to leave.

Usually quite late.

I want you to make a note of the time that he leaves,

and the time that he comes back.

You'll add a tick, depending if he has an escort or not.

You will pass on the information to a contact of your own choice.

Think of someone in the suburbs in the north of the city, where

the soldiers never go for fear of getting their boots dirty.

Josef will come in person to pick up the information every

afternoon at 5:00 at the tram stop on Tolska street.

I want to know every move he makes.

I want to know all his little habits.

You look good today.

Your leaving yourself open.

So I found a place.

It will be on the bend on a road on the outskirts of

town where he passes every day. Ten o'clock.

Every day, you'll see, it's like clockwork.

Ideally we would make a triangle, so somebody could

stand on the top of the bend as a lookout.

We'll need three to make a triangle, though, don't we?

Yes, well I'll ask Moravec for another man.

Moravec? Have you heard from him?

- No, but we will. - I hope so, Jan,

because without him, we're not going to get out of Prague.

Dance with me!

Dance? No, no.

Josef's Slovakian, isn't he?

How did you two meet?

In Poland, two years ago.

I'd just escaped across the border to join the Free Army.

I hitched a ride in the back of a farm truck.

Josef was in the back.

He talked all the bloody way to Krakow.

Promise me you'll get out alive.

Moravec's inside. There's no way out.

Good. Get him.

Go in!

Your Three Kings are dead.

The resistance is finished.

Go home, tell your families, tell your friends, it's over.

Valcik!

Valcik!

What?

Read this.

Jesus!

We had a message from London.

We are all Czech here, so this concerns all of us.

If you kill Heydrich, you're not only putting your own lives

in danger, but the lives of everyone in this room.

And think about the people.

You know what the reprisals will be if you succeed.

Forget about orders from London.

This is about our futures.

He's right, Jan.

Think about your loved ones.

Think about what they will go through.

Think about my loved ones?

I do.

I do think about my loved ones.

Sometimes I wish they even chose somebody else to do this.

So, give up the mission, Jan.

Heydrich must die.

At any... At any price?

You talk about the resistance. We talk about the...

all the people in this room.

What do you think we're here for, Opalka?

You don't think about everybody else who has to live here too?

Curda, we are fighting a war.

I know what we are fighting, Jan.

But this won't change the war.

This won't change anything.

Curda, you are wrong.

Not one high-ranking Nazi official has ever been

assassinated by any Resistance across Europe.

- This is crazy. - It is our job,

our duty as men, as soldiers to do something.

The world has to see that they are not invincible.

OK, I agree.

For what end?

And the world has to see that Czechoslovakia will fight.

We did not fight.

And this is a suicide mission, there is no way out.

This is why I'm asking, if you do this,

that you understand, that you are sure.

I think the talk is over.

Jan and I are going to kill Heydrich.

Valcik is going to help us.

Are you going to help us, or are you going to sit by?

I will not sit by.

I'll help you succeed.

For Czechoslovakia.

Good luck to all of you.

Amen.

Ugh!

Ugh!

Ooohh!

Damn it!

Argh!

Argh! Argh!

The bike, the bike. I left the bike.

- Oh my god. You need a doctor. - ... halfway down on street.

- Halfway down. - You need a doctor!

The bike cannot stay there, please Anna, please.

Okay, okay, okay.

How could you let this happen?

How?

I assure you we're doing...

You were supposed to protect him! Nothing else.

Where is he?

They are coming.

What?

They are coming!

What are you doing?

What is the meaning of this?

He is my doctor.

This young woman is asthmatic. She needs...

With injured papers?

She needs daily attention.

They're not here!

Anna!

- Did they go? - Yes.

- Definitely? - Yes! Are you alright?

- Yes and you? - Fine.

They're everywhere!

- You're alright? - Yes.

Okay.

I'll come back for you.

So close.

Yeah. Okay, okay. Yeah?

Yeah.

Mum?

Yeah.

What is it?

What happened to the cousins?

Never talk about them.

Do you hear me?

Never!

Okay.

I'll come back in an hour.

I'm going to the church.

When we get out of here, you know what I'm going to do?

What?

I'm going to win the war, marry Libiana and take her to America.

Whoa! But, I thought that was just a cover story.

Well, I change my mind.

What about you, what you'll going to do?

Come to America?

No.

I want to live here.

In a free country.

In a free country.

You'll have to leave the country in these coffins.

So? How do you feel?

This will work.

Good.

OK, give me a hand, will you?

We have to move them down to the crypt.

Our chi--

Our children...

Tell me.

Raise...

raise our children...

as...

good Aryans...

worthy of the name.

Yes. Yes.

Good Germans...

How will I live without you?

Just believe in the Führer.

Himmler is here.

Thank you.

For the Führer...

My father wrote an opera...

There is a line that I remember...

'The world is a barrel organ.

God turns the wheel.

And we all dance to his music.'

Make them dance.

No.

Names.

Names now!

Kralova.

Mucha.

Gross.

Velezy.

Jan Guzira.

Jan Mikalas.

Fire!

There is a village outside Prague called Lidice.

Some families there have sons in the Czech army

who escaped to join England in '38.

But we aren't sure if any of them were involved

in the assassination.

Does it really matter?

Attention.

Fire!

Fire!

Fire!

This is a message to the people of Bohemia-Moravia.

Anyone with any information concerning the murder of the

Reichprotektor who does not come forward at once

will be executed.

And the entire village of Lidice has paid for these acts.

The men have been shot.

The women and children are in prison.

This is a message to the people of Bohemia-Moravia.

Anyone with any information concerning the murder of the

Reichprotektor who does not come forward at once

will be executed.

Anyone who helps the regime will be rewarded.

This is a message to the people of Bohemia-Moravia.

It won't stop.

We have to hand ourselves in.

And they will kill us all.

Yes.

No.

Halt!

My name is Karel Curda.

I have information concerning the parachutists

who killed the Protector.

Now, you can make it stop.

- Burn his eyes! - No!

Now! Burn them!

No! Please, no! No!

You will talk now!

- No! No! - Tell me!

You're telling me now!

You are going to talk to me!

Answer me.

You want it to stop?

You want this to stop?

You want this to stop?

For the last time, tell me where they are.

Tell me!

The church.

Go!

There's two missing.

I want them alive!

Give yourselves up!

Josef! What are you doing?

There has to be a sewer.

Under the street. We just have to dig our way through.

I think there's one here. Come on!

Go, go, go, go, go.

Grenade!

Josef? Josef?

Josef!

You're good? Good? You're okay?

Yes, yes, yes. Yes, yes, yes.

Go, go, go, go, go.

The hole's bigger! Come on!

Come on!

Come on! what are you doing?

Josef... Josef. Stop!

Jan!

What are you doing?

Look.

It's rising too fast, Josef.

And we have six bullets.

What about America?

There's a sewer, right there! There's a fucking sewer, Jan!
