Hindenburg

FOUR DAYS EARLIER

This is a fine afternoon -

- and we are outdoors. A picnic would be glorious.

You forgot something: Why drags I a fly up a hill?

Fart on, guys! Punch gets hot.

You forgot also to mention something to me.

See, Merten. How will you and my sister look like in nine months.

- Where's the pie? - Well, yes!

Here.

- Glider plane is shown ready now. - Glider? How romantic!

- How often have you flown? - Let me reflect.

With today being the...

- Once. - What?

- Is this the first time? - Once gotta be the first.

I have adjusted the guy ropes for stability at higher speeds.

- How high a hurry? - We will have to see.

You are an engineer, not a pilot. Can you fly this?

Gliders. Of course. I have skimmed through the manual.

"V ride control stick S."

Wind from starboard.

- It is starboard! - I tested you just.

Be careful.

Can you?

- Start Team, are you ready? - We are ready!

Speed ​​on!

One, two and let go!

I do not think he likes me.

He can probably only like one thing.

Ladies, get in the car. Get in the car!

Enjoy the flight!

Come on! Breathe!

You'll survive.

Unless you want to fly again.

You are not very good at it.

Until the last 30 seconds went pretty well.

The last 30 seconds is the most important.

Turn around!

Do not look at me!

The way, my name Merten Kröger.

And you?

Jennifer.

You, Jennifer...

As a thank you for saving my life -

- I would like to invite you at the party tonight.

In the U.S. Consulate.

A fine soiree for U.S. millionaires families.

Extremely fine... Not my style.

But you need a dress.

We can also go to my place, which is optional attire.

Are you still my offer?

"T o Jen from Dad."

I'm over here!

No, stay where you are!

You need help to pull the plane to land.

DETAMERIKANSKE CONSULATE FRANKFURT

Do not worry, Sauter.

Erika's mad because I did not sitting at home with her.

- Well? - What is this?

Our invitation.

- Did you have it in your lake? - May we come in?

We work for Zeppelin GmbH.

I work, and he's doing nothing in the airship -

- and read newspapers and solve crossword puzzles.

- Your invitation is invalid. - It's just a little wet.

- Is there a problem? - No, we are on the way out.

- You have no situational awareness. - Do you already, gentlemen?

- Dr. Eckener! - We were denied access.

- It amazes me, Merten. - There is a problem with your invitation.

Someone who draws zeppelins, should be able to solve it.

Can I see it?

These two clumsy, simple-minded, hopeless assholes...

... Are my guests. - Naturally, dr. Eckener.

Enjoy.

Here they come!

FRANZIE is a wonderful girl, but she scares me.

You fly a thousand meters up in the air under a gigantic gasballon -

- and you're afraid to share life with the world's cutest girl?

It's a long time.

My Lords, let me introduce Helen Van Zandt.

Director of the American Oil should be here, but...

... Had important errands in the evening.

His wife is here instead.

We are here to celebrate Hindenburg first trip to America this year.

Tour is important for Zeppelin GmbH, when America is a big market -

- But more important is the helium American Oil can sell to us -

- if it had not been for this stupid embargo against Germany.

Van Zandt will persuade Roosevelt to open up exports -

- and we cross our fingers, as we serve checkout.

And that's what this is about.

That was all. I now give the floor to Helen Van Zandt.

Thank you, Mr. Lehmann, for a memorable presentation.

It is a pleasure to be here in Frankfurt.

My husband is currently in Washington -

- and negotiate with President Roosevelt to stop the embargo.

Because of the embargo , our company fails -

- sell helium to Zeppelin GmbH.

The truth is that the steerable airship does not have a future -

- without nonflammable helium.

As you probably know, the slightest spark -

- ignite an airship filled with hydrogen.

It is the fear of just hydrogen -

- which causes the poor ticket sales.

Excuse me, Mrs. Van Won.

Let me point out that Zeppelin GmbH through scientific approaches -

- have made hydrogen to a safe alternative to helium.

Director at the doubtless more about scientific questions than I -

- but I know that Edward would like will sell helium to you.

And I will immensely happy to buy it.

Capitalism triumphs.

Thank you for coming, Mrs. Van Zandt, and your beautiful daughter Jennifer.

Get up!

It's her!

- Who? - The Girl by the Lake.

What girl?

She never said his name.

The Van Zandt.

Van Zandt, as in the American Oil.

Her companion is Fritz Rittenberg. His father bought 30% of IG Farben.

You do not have a chance. Forget her.

I've got a crazy idea.

Was it something with my sister?

We meet again.

But this time you have clothes on... evening wear.

- Fritz Rittenberg. - Merten Kröger.

We met in the afternoon. I swam naked in the lake -

- as Mr. Kröger crashed into the lake with his glider.

So I had the save his life.

I have not had anything to hide, since I met Mr. Kröger.

Do not worry about Jennifer's humor.

They left something at the lake, that you might miss.

Jennifer... excuse me.

There's just come a telegram from New York.

Excuse me.

Lehmann, unfortunately got Edward Van Zandt a heart attack in the afternoon.

Doctors say he survives, but his wife -

- would like to be by his side soon as possible.

Why she flies back with Hindenburg tomorrow.

The trip means a lot to us. Helen has great influence on Edward.

She can turn him against us, if something goes wrong.

I understand what you mean.

You left this at the lake.

I thought I had lost it.

Thank you.

I just heard that my father is sick.

I'm sorry.

My father's business is his life.

Because of the embargo he risks going bankrupt.

Sorry, I offends you it here...

You offends me.

I'd better go.

Goodnight.

I will never forget our meeting.

Have you seen the old Hindenburg? I would make some changes.

Whoever drew crew compartment must have been drunk.

I am one of the drunks, which accounted Hindenburg.

- I had no idea. - Exactly. You know nothing.

- You are only a cabin boy. Shut - Do not worry Schmidt.

He is half crazy. Alone in his room with a radio -

- day in and day out.

- Is this your first trip? - I am employed as a cabin boy.

To get a foot in the door. In three years, I'm sure Captain.

Just captain not hear it.

Or helmsman.

A few days on the Hindenburg and you are completely sold.

The most majestic, who has ever flown.

- Take care of my airship, Jacob. - I promise you, sir.

- I'll send a telegram. - Promise?

- I wish you not to travel. - It's only ten days.

They go quickly. You can not say no to such an opportunity.

Are these people to trust?

VAN ZANDTS RESIDENCE IN NEWYORK

Breathe deeply.

Herr Van Zandt, danger is not resolved yet.

- We have to take more samples. - I need the following:

A juicy steak, 18-year-old whiskey and expensive Cuban cigars.

No steak or whiskey to the naughty -

- but Rittenberg takes cigars on the Hindenburg.

- Have you talked with Rittenberg? - No, but Miss Van Zandt called.

- Why did not you say something? - She would not interfere.

She and his wife come home earlier. They fly with Hindenburg today.

- What? - The boarding right now.

Give me the phone.

How could you do it! Give me the phone immediately!

Thank you. Take suitcases.

- Mother always comes too late. - She was worried about the trip home.

She is afraid, father gets angry, if the deal goes down the drain.

But he always gets his way. The lift safely embargo.

Show me to the pool.

Herr Lehmann, your hat!

Merten, I heard you ended in the soup during your first flight.

I landed on the water, Captain.

Directly on Van Zandts daughter ass, I hear.

I did at least an impression.

Let's begin.

What are you doing here?

I fly with to make sure Van Zandt get a comfortable ride.

Believe me, I am just as little as it pleased them.

Well, Pruss...

Have we got a weather forecast?

Let me give you a word of advice Lehmann:

They are the boss here on earth -

- but when you come on board, it's me who decides.

Do you have a problem with it, say it like now.

We are still on the ground.

Sheep Van Zandt the two votes to get the embargo lifted?

I rely on family Van Zandt. They usually get their way.

Excuse me, sir.

A call from Mr. Van Zandt.

Maybe he has good news. You must excuse me.

- Father! - Not now.

- Do we have it all? - Yes.

- Mom, did you? - Where is Eric's suitcase?

- It's safe. - Where?

- Look! It is located in the car. - Do not you hear it?

So we have it all.

- Father, Eric will say something. - Yes, Eric?

Did you know that Hindenburg only approx. 30 meters shorter than the Titanic?

It's incredible.

- Herr Van Zandt. Good day. - You may get them off the airship.

Who?

In the case of hydrogen? I guarantee that it is safe.

No, it's not.

Listen. There are certain things They are not aware of.

I understand.

They do not examine our luggage. We are dr. Eckeners guests.

A gift from my father.

- Fritz, get him to drop it. - He parried only orders.

- He could show more understanding. - You get it back after the trip home.

No flammable allowed on board.

I have cigars. They are quite expensive.

- There is obviously a smoking room. - I put them in the humidor for you.

Outstanding. Thank you.

- Next! - Lucky you must have cigars.

- We may be delayed several hours. - This is unacceptable.

I do not compromise with the safety of a deadline.

- We need a perfect flight. - The laws of physics can not be broken.

- If there is a headwind... - They must obey orders, Mr. Krämer...

... Not ventilate your opinions. - Kröger.

Allow me... This flight is extremely important for Goering.

Hindenburg bear kingdom emblem, a symbol of efficiency -

- and scientific progress.

He will be displeased if Hindenburg did not live up to it.

Surely, but what matters is that I am displeased.

They're for my performance.

I have to perform on Broadway.

What a lovely dog!

- What's her name? - Goldie.

Goldie?

- She's my partner. - Partner?

In my vaudeville show. I do tricks, she squeals jokes.

What kind of jokes?

- What's your name? - Gisela.

Gisela.

Gisela, take a step back.

Look at Goldie...

... And do like this.

Do it now!

- Did you see that? - Unbelievable!

Good girl.

- Are you in New York? - Yes, the spring would be wonderful.

It's that too.

We perform at Radio City Music Hall. I can get you tickets.

Thanks. It is kind of you.

Excuse me!

- Køteren may not come along. - Did you call my dog ​​for mongrel?

- Goldie is a star that you know. - The dog must be in the cargo hold.

Put ​​me in the hold and set Goldie in the cabin. She is the star.

She's in the cargo hold.

Excuse me.

It must be yours. They lost it just before.

Thank you.

I'm usually not so confused.

You do not fly in zeppelin every day, right?

No.

Next!

Good. Thank you again.

I'll see you on board?

Yes, we do well.

- Why did you lie? - To whom?

The man with the dog.

Why did not you tell the truth? Why should it be secret?

It is not known by others. Just come.

In order to arrive at Lakehurst pm. 08:00, 6 May -

- should reach Greenland pm. 19 if weather conditions are perfect.

I would not push it too hard. No unnecessary pressure on the hull.

Pressure?

- Kröger, telephone. - Private calls are made at leisure.

This is Dr. Eckener. He ​​said it was urgent.

Well, Kröger...

Is the hull is not strong enough to withstand a little storm?

- It is very strong, but... - KI. 19 must reach Greenland, Captain.

- Yes, dr. Eckener? - Do you remember Helen and Jennifer?

Sure.

You must immediately get them to leave the Hindenburg.

- Why? - It does not matter.

Edward Van Zandt wish. , Get them out of the airship.

Make sure the Hindenburg Letter, no matter what happens.

I hope you too would jump in the water and save me.

Do you want coffee?

Yes, thank you.

- Eric! - I'll look after him.

Dad, hurry up! It's coming out now!

Sorry. Sorry.

You again.

You will obviously grumpy without your morning coffee.

This is for Mrs. Van Zandt, or it was.

- It is a blessing in disguise. - I think not.

I have to talk to Mrs. Van Zandt.

All passengers boarding now!

It is 245 meters long and 41 feet wide.

It is the largest airplane ever.

That's right. It's big, but slow.

I was not presented to me before.

My name is Karl Erdmann, and this is my brother Paul.

- He called Hindenburg slow. - We're in the Luftwaffe.

- Are pilots? - We're flying Messerschmitt 109

- He's crazy with zeppelins. - I like him.

Come on, Charles. We need to get on board now.

Excuse me.

Do not go aboard. There is a message from dr. Eckener.

- Eckener? - Herr Van Zandt called him.

Van Zandt did not want that they should not board the aircraft.

Why not?

I do not know.

Kröger!

What the hell are you doing?

My goodness! I'll help.

Wait! It is not the time.

Kröger. Kröger...

On board the airship...

... There's a bomb.

What?

What do you say?

A bomb on the Hindenburg?

Where is it? Where is the bomb?

Who is behind it?

Who?

Who?

Jennifer...

- Jennifer. - Jennifer Van Zandt?

Where is the bomb?

Where is the bomb?

No! Where is it?

Kröger!

- What happened? - He attacked me.

- I'm on board now! - It does not.

You're under arrest.

We must find him! Search the entire area!

Speed ​​on!

This is a nice picture.

Why all the anxiety? I knew I was in good time.

We are looking for Merten Kröger. 186 cm, normal build, black hair.

Hi, guys. Land The personnel need help.

Three men intend and three male port.

Move!

- Where is Fritz? - He had to buy coffee.

- Where is he? - We meet safely on board.

- Good trip. - Thank you.

It will surely... Packed.

Jennifer, I've been looking everywhere for Fritz, but I can not find him.

Maybe he did not live with.

- Let us ask the captain. - He's busy right now.

Herr Lehmann, it is an honor of having you on.

- Another important guest? - The company's CEO.

Most interesting.

Holder he of dogs?

Forget it. I ask him yourself.

Captain, all passengers are soon on board -

- but Fritz Rittenberg are not yet boarded.

We should be relieved of five min. since. Who is Rittenberg?

He owns 30% of IG Farben, and he is Miss Van Zandts friend.

He knows that we do not facilitate without him, sir.

Is he so important he can buy his own zeppelin.

- Aboard The increase is completed. - Yes, Captain.

We have looked everywhere. At the outputs and in the hangar. He has sunk into the ground.

He can not possibly be escaped.

- He is on board the airship. - Pull landing in!

- I will never return. - We had no choice.

I had no choice. You made the decision.

Gisela, wait!

Let her go. You can not do anything.

Get ready for takeoff.

The poor orchestra has played in the sun all day.

- Now? - No, wait a minute.

The whole area is cordoned off.

Over here!

- Now! - Release ballast.

It can be Messerschmitt do.

Bowl.

I'm sorry, sir...

If you want to see first, please put them in the window.

- I'm good here, thanks. - As you wish.

Attention all units!

aim was last seen at the aerodrome. Name: Merten Kröger.

Around 186 cm. burly, black hair. Wanted for murder.

Passport control at all out and inputs. Arrest immediately.

All available units reports to the Frankfurt Forest.

I repeat...

= = Give her time. She will not stay on the other side of the globe.

It's not about her. It is you who will not.

She imitates you just.

I know it's hard, but you must help me.

- Why do not you add me? - Adding you?

I left everything at home because of you.

- You close your eyes to what is happening. - I've seen plenty.

I know what you've done. You put us all in danger.

You should tell the kids, what is really happening.

- They do not know anything... - Spare me the old argument.

Luftwaffe.

I tried, but I can do nothing.

Herr Broca, I can not close you into the cargo space.

I just want to feed her a little. She is scared witless.

Sorry. Passengers do not have access to the load compartment.

- Found Fritz? - They say he is not on board.

We can not been relieved without him.

I wish I could see his face now.

Jürgens.

Van Zandt has apparently gossiped. If everything goes according to plan?

- The package is on board. - Can be assembled and placed?

- The bomb is not the problem. - What is the problem?

Rittenberg is dead. He mentioned bomb for a crew member.

- Have you cleared him of the way? - Not yet, but there's mastered it.

He can not hide.

Find him.

What should I do?

Watch for Van Zandt.

Make sure he keeps mouth.

Captain?

A message from the Gestapo in Frankfurt. It is coded.

"Suspected murderer aboard the Hindenburg."

"Name:"

"Merten Kröger."

The whole crew to look for Kröger.

- You must excuse me... - The crew must not know anything.

As said...

On board the airship I am the boss.

I have made my decision, Now you have been warned.

Officers may find Kröger.

Herr Lehmann...

Hindenburg is longer than two football tracks and fill 200,000 cubic meters.

With luck, we scour more than half of the airship.

Captain, inform the crew, get passengers also told.

There will be panic and it is bad for the company.

My orders have priority.

As captain overhears I the pretentious nonsense.

That was all.

As captain of the Hindenburg can do as you will -

- but do you do it, I remove you and puts you into custody.

I'm actually authorized to do it.

What is your decision, Captain?

Officers who are in service, must look for Kröger.

A wise decision.

Mrs. Kerner.

We meet again.

To think that such a large airship has such a small passenger cabin.

- It makes it hard to avoid people. - They avoid it I?

No, then! Absolutely not.

- Have you eaten dinner? - No. I just need to pick up my daughter.

And your husband?

He sits in the dining room.

What a shame.

I was hoping to get a little female company for dinner.

They have hardly any problems with to find female company.

I meant more than that.

- Good evening. - Good evening.

I disturb surely not?

No, not at all.

See you at dinner, Mrs. Kerner.

How long should we look?

Until we find him.

He knows airship better than anyone else.

Maybe, but he can not escape. Led on.

Do you want to sit here throughout the flight?

You must be famished. Come, we'll a sandwich.

Why we moved anyway?

You know that. Your father got a job.

There's something you're not telling.

There's nothing to tell.

- Impossible! He did not. - Merten is accused of murder.

We have to find him and imprisoning him.

I've known him for many years. We went to school together.

- He can not kill people. - You know him better than anyone else.

If he can not find the to do something thoughtless?

If you see Kröger, do your duty.

Would you rather be a Messerschmitt or a Zeppelin?

An easy question. A zeppelin.

There may be 100 aircraft in a zeppelin.

Is officers or crew is most important?

- Crew. - Easy for you to say.

Crew gets things done.

- What about yourself? - I also get things done.

Watch it!

It's okay.

And the answer is: I'd rather be a zeppelin.

I have a secret message. It's not a love letter.

- Thank God. - Do not look!

- Thank you. - You must read it now.

Meet me at the bulkhead. Not a word to anyone

Who got you the message of?

He asked me to give you this.

Excuse me...

What do you think?

She can not say anything. It's a secret.

- Do not mind him. - He's so cute.

Do you know if there is a bomb in the airship?

Your father's company goes bankrupt if he does not sell helium to Germany.

An explosion can change people's mind and lift the embargo.

It would be perfect to blow ship in the air after landing.

You are raving crazy!

You can not make accusations and then run away.

I come to your cabin at. 24

What are you doing here? There is no access for passengers.

The door was open so I went in -

- but I could not find out.

Have you seen Merten?

No.

Is he on board?

If he shows up, he is arrested.

For what?

Matter.

Come on in!

- Get the out of the airship? - The message did not reach in time.

They worry you unnecessarily.

Eckener bath Lehmann look after them. They are safe in the Hindenburg.

No conversations.

At Van Zandt.

A moment.

It is from the White House. President Roosevelt.

I can not talk now. Tell him I'll call you back.

This is about the embargo.

They have been waiting for weeks to talk to the president.

Hello? I agree with you Mr. Van Zandt.

Mr. President.

It's nice to hear your voice.

For the foolish embargo...

My husband says that both Hitler and Roosevelt by -

- the people are the nation's backbone.

True.

They will boost the economy, and they know how it should be done.

- They are very similar. - But Führer is not sitting in a wheelchair.

This is so true. There is also another difference.

Roosevelt has not beheaded as many.

At least not Jews, blacks and homosexuals.

Cheers to Fuhrer.

Cheers to lies.

- For Führer. - It's the same.

- You think this is funny? - It is outrageously fun.

But not as much fun as Fürerens mustache.

I find this conversation very distasteful.

Såh?

Indecency is my livelihood, and I live quite well.

- What are you doing? - Broca.

Gilles Broca.

I do a bit of everything.

Comedy, of course.

Tricks, juggling...

... Singing and dancing. Anything to please the crowd.

I'm tired and go back to the room.

Goodnight.

Now I remember. I saw his picture in the paper.

- He is famous. - I did not know.

- I would really like to dance. - You can dance with me.

- Do not tempt me. - I would never dare.

Captain Pruss, good to see you.

- Mrs. Van Zandt, may I speak with you? - Naturally.

- They'd better sit down. - Why? What happened?

I have bad news.

Tell Pruss, that there is a bomb on board.

Did you hit him?

- It was not on purpose... - It is all true?

You must help me. Pruss' crew looking for it.

- A bomb? - I was turned down.

- Only the bomber would... - You can not smuggle bombs into.

I do not have time to explain. Pruss' officers to arrest me.

Officers like me.

- Sauter, trust me. - That's the problem.

I can not, for you rely only on yourself!

- You owe me a favor. - For what? It has been several years ago!

This is serious. You have to trust me.

You are a bastard!

I tell if I need you. Pretend you did not see me.

Oh, is it just you?

God! Is that dad?

It is Fritz. He is murdered.

- Captain Pruss told me. - What?

They think the killer is on board. They're looking for him.

Captain believe it is a zeppelin from the company -

- Called Milton Krüger, or something like that.

Oh, baby! I'm sorry.

I better talk to Mr. Lehmann.

Do not forget to lock the door.

They told Mrs Van Zandt the killer. Now all it soon.

- Have you caught Kröger? - We have not found him yet.

But what is worse... a large storm develop at the coast of Newfoundland.

- And They will fly around? - Hell no!

I turn off the diesel engines and fly directly through hell -

- for I am the captain of the Hindenburg. No to bring the ship off course!

We land in Lakehurst, as soon as possible.

Ernest when they stopped the stick up your ass?

I want regular status reports.

- I saw Merten. - Good. Where is he?

He escaped.

- He thinks there is a bomb on board. - Nonsense!

I will not hear about bombs in the airship.

- We must apprehend him. - Yes.

Now Hindenburg in Africa.

Hands off!

This is not a toy.

I wish I was captain on a zeppelin.

Do not you too?

I was captain again.

Airplane you still? Captain of Hindenburg is the world's best job.

Why you quit to be?

Go away! Go away!

You killed Fritz.

- Merten... - He was crazy and attacked me.

Rittenberg would prevent me from to give you this message from your father.

Yes, your father. He ​​wanted you out of the airship.

Rittenberg said there was a bomb in the Hindenburg.

I asked who had the bomb -

- and he said: "Jennifer".

What do you know about the bomb?

What are you talking about?

Do they forced you? Who else is involved?

He tried to say for you to get me away.

I thank my dog's behalf. I am very grateful.

No reason.

Herr Kröger, I did not know that you were on board.

Passengers are not allowed in the hold.

I told Broca, that it was contrary to the rules.

Please just blame me.

I can be pretty convincing.

- Do not take more of here! - No, sir.

- This road leads to the cabins. - I know. Thank you.

But I have to to go to the bathroom first.

I have had some memorable experiences there. What about you?

I promise not to reveal that you shut anyone into.

- Do you like nuts? - Yes, sir.

- They can not be procured in Germany. - I got them from someone.

Who?

My shipmate Bastian. Do you want some?

Well goodbye.

I also think to ham sandwiches are boring.

But this is hardly the pig's fate, that depress you.

They are a very strange man.

Thanks for the compliment.

Mind if I sit?

Do you enjoy not ride?

I hate this airship.

You can get revenge shortly.

I think there's a bomb on board.

And anytime...

... Can the legendary Hindenburg...

... Say "bang"!

And then we die all. Innocent as guilty.

If you think it blows, why are you so with?

Being in Germany had been much worse.

I do not understand you. I had done anything to stay.

In the Third Reich with all its rules and laws?

You're not a rule cyclist?

Moreover, N.Y. a great city. And you gotta just on vacation.

We need to Argentina and stay there permanently.

But it is obvious a big secret.

My family is full of secrets.

Of all the passages...

... Are you the only one I will look damaged.

Give me your hand.

This is my lucky coin.

It will protect you.

But when all is said and done, out I may be wrong.

In principle, I always error.

GESTAPO

Do not do anything stupid! Get up!

Bastian. I must find him.

- Where does the Gestapo in? - Open the door!

- Where is the bomb? - I do not know what you're talking about!

If you do not say it, let I you. Where is the bomb?

Pull me up!

Up!

Merten Kröger, you're under arrest for the murder of Rittenberg.

Before him to the wardroom.

They have not said it yet, but we're eight hours late.

Make sure to set the timer on, so we can get out of here.

I do not think Kröger is no problem.

- Good morning, honey. - Get them to release Merten.

Good morning, everyone.

- He's a murderer. - It was an accident.

- It was not his fault. - He wants you to believe.

He tried to save the airship -

- and as a reward he was arrested and incarcerated.

I do not want you handle the horrible person.

I'm just trying to protect you.

You can protect me and everyone else -

- by telling Mr. Lehmann, that there is a bomb on board.

You can stop this by simply to say where the documents are.

How often...

... Shall I say it?

I do not know on any documents.

Rittenberg knew about the bomb. He ​​tried to...

Fritz came from one of Germany's most highly regarded families.

A party member. You did not kill Rittenberg for the bomb.

You killed him because he knew you had stolen documents.

This is completely unheard!

It is your crew Bastian from the Gestapo.

He apparently his work.

This is a question on national security.

They have no authority here.

Captain!

- Deploying a bomb search. - You're lying to save your skin.

I have said countless times, Van Zandt called Eckener -

- and asked him to evacuate his wife and daughter.

Eckener asked me to do it. Ask him.

Contact control tower.

We have done that.

Dr. Eckener denies any knowledge of it.

But it's true!

- Where have you placed the documents? - There are no documents!

Sauter, you can not help Kröger.

- Go back to the bridge. - But Captain...

You did the right thing.

They wanted to see me?

I have a plan. You must help me to break into Ritt's cabin.

- Why? - To prove that Merten speaks the truth.

He killed your fiance. Why will you save him?

Fritz was not my fiance.

Will you help me or not?

Someone has broken into the cabin.

Hello?

Stay behind me.

Hello?

- What are we looking for? - I do not know yet.

Strange. It is a herd jacket.

- Why should Fritz want it? - I do not know.

A key to the humidor.

Fritz was happy cigars. He ​​brought his own.

He did not touch them.

Father, icebergs!

The storm clouds does not bode well.

It is unwise to fly through a thunderstorm in a zeppelin.

They can easily.

They can be hit by lightning 117 times, without anything happening.

Lightning?

Our small pilot's right.

They are Faraday cages.

All electricity diverted through the outer shell.

Take, for instance Shenandoah, British R 101 and Macon.

They were all struck by lightning, but did anyway.

Wait a minute... They crashed and burst into flames.

They are well informed, Mr. Broca.

- Is it really true? - Of course not.

None zeppelin has crashed due to lightning.

That's not true.

You call me a liar?

We are all liars.

- Also you? - Sure.

- But I'm a good liar. - A risky statement.

Who in this room is lying?

- They, for example. - Let's not argue.

I have nothing against.

Take your business trip to N. Y.

I do not believe you.

Why did you leave your wife to fly to the United States, Mr. Kaufmann?

Keep my wife outside.

Our privacy relates not you.

The happy, loving family Kerner.

There should be great in Buenos Aires during this season.

- Where have you heard that? - It's probably pretty obvious.

Argentina is a popular destination the Jews of the time.

What do you mean? We are not Jews.

You did not know?

Have your parents never told you that?

Father?

Father?

True?

- He's lying. - I have not lied yet.

And you? How many lies have you told?

We converted before you were born.

What is the role?

Poor girl...

Keep you from me and my family!

Who could have guessed it?

I had no idea.

A dramatic view.

VAN ZANDTS RESIDENCE IN NEWYORK

- Herr Singer's here. - Show him.

They wanted to see me?

I will be brief. Take a seat.

Herr Singer...

They just need to know -

- that if there is my wife and daughter something...

... So there will be no agreement.

You do not say?

Do you know who you have to do with Mr. Van Zandt?

- Reichstag states do not act for. - No?

- And embargo? - Goering want it repealed.

Hitler want it too.

If you are creating problems for us -

- then you get the same treatment as others who harasses us.

Is that clear?

Totally.

I thought so.

Have a nice day, Mr. Van Zandt.

Is someone broke into in Ritt's cabin? When?

It should be empty but someone has been in there.

It was someone from the Luftwaffe.

They stared at the cigars as hungry wolves. I've been watching them.

Here.

I also keep an eye on you.

- We do not steal your loved ones cigars. - Not while I monitor you.

I check them three times a day . No one has been here.

Please put them back.

This is a stick of dynamite.

Lehmann was right. Bombed Lene is on board, but not the bomb.

- It would gather in the airship. - We found them as in time.

No, we did not.

This is empty.

Why did you tell her?

Why?

She takes figured it out.

So you people's facial expressions?

- All changed the perception of us. - Well they did not!

We are Germans. My parents belonged to the top of society in Berlin.

My brother fought honorably in the war. Our children were born in Germany!

I guess no matter that we were Jewish?

This is not about religion!

It is our identity, and we can not change.

No.

It's all about money.

You are breaking the law.

No laws protect Jews in Germany today.

I'm tired of your obsession to be jew.

It must not destroy the lives of children, as it ruined mine.

- Stop questioning! - They have no power here.

- It's about national security. - Release him! That's an order!

Do you say your overall in Zeppelin GmbH against?

I say that the idiot must shut up!

See it here. It was smuggled on board Rittenberg in a cigar box.

There lacks a stick of dynamite.

This explains why Rittenberg had a crew jacket.

He would bring dynamite to crew area without being seen.

A bomb...

Release the man.

Well, he is a murderer!

It may well be...

... But now the ship's safety priority.

I order one immediately bomb search.

I'm sorry that you watched what happened in the dining room.

I apologize...

For everything.

I'm tired of it all.

You should have said something.

Had it made any difference?

Leave him. I can protect you.

I have important friends.

With me you're safe.

Are you aware what I offer you?

I can not betray my family.

You just kissed me.

Does this mean nothing to you?

You know as well as I, it is a ship flirt.

There would not have happened.

You will therefore rather be with him than with me?

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

No, 'm sorry.

Good evening, Mrs. Kerner.

I had to inform captain. I obeyed orders.

"Order".

It forgives the total.

I had no choice.

Do you know what the problem is? You went too far this time.

You got in trouble, and you blame everyone else.

Thank you found proof and got me out of the room.

It was thanks to your friend Sauter.

You look like hell.

You can wash you in my cabin.

Merten!

I have to talk to you.

Preferably in private.

Keep them here to me.

What is it about?

It is best that you know nothing.

It is the documents.

I was nearly killed because of the documents!

Bastian has already frisked you.

You are the safest hideout in the airship.

I know I can trust you.

Will not you?

You know, what they would do to me.

If anything, I can do for you...

Received. Thanks for the information. Switches, finish.

What are you doing here?

An official mission of the Luftwaffe.

- Is there a problem? - No.

Go ahead.

I'm done.

- Who is it? - Close up.

I should be looking in all cabins for some stolen documents.

I was on the way out.

It was better.

You've had an advantage ever since we first met.

You saw me half naked.

To be fair.

Now I have nothing to hide from you.

At least not anything great.

You'll see always the last word.

Most men dare not inter...

Good afternoon.

Can I help you?

There is something we need to talk about.

We have nothing to say to each other.

What is the problem?

I wondered, why it was so secret -

- that you should move to Argentina. But then it hit me...

They are a rich man, exactly as many Jews.

They must have brought your fortune.

- Everything we carry is ours. - Not according to the Treasury.

As long as you are on the ship, you find yourself on German soil.

Upon landing you will be arrested and sent back to Germany.

I was the one who rejected you.

- Do not let your anger out on him. - I obey no jew whore!

What?

Will not you kiss me anymore?

Maybe...

... We can find a solution.

I never think of nothing but money.

Is that why we traveled? Had I do not know who I am?

Were you afraid of pigs as him?!

- Coward! You try to bribe him! - Not talk that way to your father!

He does his best to protect us.

Cigarettes?

No smoking outside the smoking room.

I endured much the æskes fault.

What can be in this little box and be so important?

It is incomprehensible.

A list of cities routes and flight times.

This is ridiculous. No German aircraft can fly as far.

You make it hard for me to go.

Why? I am doing nothing.

This is something that you think.

Why can not German planes not fly so far?

It would destroy the motors.

They do not work without fuel additives.

As tetraethyl lead?

What do you know about that?

My father's company produces it.

If the German air force got hold of tetraethyl lead -

- so that information meaning.

Goering yearn desperately for it. It is vital to Hitler's plans.

Do you know what this is?

The invasion plans.

Therefore, the embargo lifted. Not due to helium zeppelins.

They want tetraethyl lead, so they can start a war.

Bomb would explode much faster than the Hindenburg.

The whole world would blow up.

- Have you gone through everything? - We stopped when Sauter found the key.

- And it was in the crew jacket? - Yes.

Bomber had it on to enter the field.

Do you think bomb already assembled?

I think bomb has been placed.

Went Rittenberg with glasses?

I think not. But some men is more vain than women.

Although it was bomber's glasses...

... So it proves nothing.

American Oil is involved.

You do not think, my father is involved?

Everything revolves around the helium.

Tetraethyl, embargo...

Your dad must know something.

He called to get you out of the airship.

We need to talk to your mother.

Captain Pruss!

How is bomb after searching?

There is no news yet.

I have one more bad news.

Storm has delayed us four hours -

- but the good news is that we blow up on time.

It was good. "T o the time."

- When passengers message? - Not yet. Why?

Then we notify bomber.

Well, there you are!

Thank you ruined my life!

I destroyed it. I freed you.

Liberated?

From what?

From living a lie.

Maybe I thought about the lie.

It would not have persisted.

If the world ended last night -

- would not you like have known the truth?

You are a pig! That's the truth.

You're right. I am a pig.

But sometimes deceiving sight.

Take for example this handkerchief...

What is it really?

Did you know about my lucky coin?

Do you prefer this one?

My mother gave me the handkerchief.

Cocktail hour.

Come on in.

Jennifer, pray this man to go immediately!

- Mother, that is... - I will be brief.

I have just one question.

- You know your husband bombekomplottet? - What insolence!

I do not think for a second stories the bomb men and dynamite cigars.

That's absurd!

Good night, Mr. Kröger.

- Non stories. We found evidence. - What evidence?

This is the bomber's glasses.

- Have you seen them before? - No, then!

Interrogation is over.

Jennifer!

You said we had evidence. Why that you are not documents?

Have you told your mother about of dynamite and cigars?

No. You do not think that she?

Further delays. Detective bomber it, he responds.

This means that we can locate him.

Come on!

A terrible weather.

They are so right. It's horrible to fly in.

Can I have a beer, please?

What's the matter?

I want to drink in peace.

Drop it, Charles. She's only jew.

Shut up.

Ladies and gentlemen, we regret to inform you -

- that we become further delayed due . a storm in Lakehurst.

Estimated arrival time is now pm. 19:45, 6 May

You must excuse me...

Is this seat, Mr. Kaufmann?

Yes.

What is it really, They are doing Kaufmann?

Sauter, I want to access to Kaufmann's cabin.

Hello?

Hello?

You! I want to talk with the captain immediately!

I sent the message, but the captain did not have time.

He has time to speak with me!

- Captain Pruss! - Mrs. Van Zandt.

Delay is unacceptable. We can not be 12 hours late.

I demand that you... Flies faster.

It is a regular cauldron out there.

Higher speed would compromise security.

Lehmann, my husband is very angry about the delay.

This could damage relations between our companies.

Please Captain Pruss order to speed up.

Captain Pruss has my full confidence.

He has command, and I support his decisions.

Herr Lehmann...

If we arrive, my husband get familiar with this conversation.

Excuse me.

Please let us if clueless old bastard -

- can help with anything.

Examine the cabinet.

Sauter!

We must find Kaufmann.

- He escaped! - Sauter, check out the cabins at the front.

Come on.

I can not. I do not know how I did it the first time.

You can change the time setting. The exploding before we land.

We die all together, if you do not.

- You have no choice. - No!

- She's involved. - Get in there!

I follow Kaufmann.

I dare not climb further up. It's too loud!

- Do up to the bomb. - Rittenberg had to place it.

Now that he is dead, forcing me. It's too loud!

- When it explodes? - About 50 minutes.

So we are still in the air. Show me to the bomb.

No one knows where it is!

- We land soon! - I know.

What is it now?

- Would not you like to be captain? - We already have a capable one.

He'll be fine.

- Do not be afraid. - It is so exciting.

Yes, that's it.

I have to go now. I will not miss the landing.

- You lied to me. - What are you talking about?

You knew regarding the bomb.

How could you do it!

Jennifer, your father is exposed under enormous pressure.

The company is likely to go bankrupt.

- The Company is his life. - What about the passengers' lives?

Goering promised your father, that no one would get hurt.

Goering?

Kaufmann's death. He did not to change the time setting.

The exploding while we are on board. I've looked everywhere.

- Where is the bomb located? - I do not know.

Where is it?!

I do not know. He ​​never said anything.

Mother, stop lying.

It's true! No one has told me anything.

I would not be involved.

What do we do now?

I do not know.

Shall we go?

It is set at. 19.30.

Fifteen minutes before we land.

- Can we obtain a neighborhood? - Maybe if we float...

... At full speed against doktårnet -

- and then turns sharply.

It will strain the hull much. It is not designed to handle it.

- It's too dangerous. - Less dangerous than detonated bomb.

- We have to find the bomb. - We've looked everywhere here.

Have you looked outside?

Here it is.

It must be close to a gas chamber. Somewhere in the outer shell.

Difficult to spot, but easy to get to.

- I climb up. - We do it together.

I cut through skin to get to it.

I make a sound test.

One, two, three... this is a test.

Is everything all right, Charlie?

Thanks.

Thank you, gentlemen.

Herr Van Zandt.

In a few minutes keep the a press conference -

- and ask them to lift the embargo.

And I expect that you are very convincing.

Today, five years ago, my son died.

He was not very happy for me.

I do not care, whether people like me or not.

But my son...

Merten, what happens?

Go up to the promenade deck. It is safest if something happens.

- What will you do? - We may have found the bomb.

Promise me to go up there. You can jump out the window.

I promise.

You're the only one I have now.

See you soon.

Yes.

Landing about 15 minutes.

We have to climb up here.

Gentlemen...

Get ready for approach.

Control Tower, we are ready to approach.

Get ready to turn sharply.

Sharp to starboard!

This is Herbert Morrison in Lakehurst, New Jersey.

We are waiting for Hindenburg's arrival, Germany's largest airship.

Hindenburg left Frankfurt yesterday -

- pm. 20.15 German time.

Beware!

The gas chamber is damaged!

Gisela should see this.

She arrive safely in time.

I think I can see it. Over there!

Turn bak! Full speed ahead!

It is almost quiet now, and they have thrown a rope out!

A number of men grips the rope!

Empty the gas chambers.

Elmsild! The storm has made airship electrostatically.

Gas!

Down! Hurry!

... Just enough to...

I find her.

- We have to go to the windows. - It burns!

It burns! It burns!

Movie, Charlie!

The rush!

Over here!

Father!

Where is the money?

Mother! Wait!

Away! It burns!

- Go away! - Hold the handrail!

Come here!

To the windows!

Come on! She jumped!

Gisela! Gisela!

- Gisela! - She's already jumped out!

For windows!

Break out!

All passengers screaming around me!

My daughter! Gisela!

Jennifer, jumping!

Give me your jacket!

I am completely speechless. It is just that -

- as a smoking wreck. No can breathe or say anything!

And all the screams!

Kid... Eric...

It's my job to photograph!

Equal completely still. You got it.

Father...

Is my dad here?

I'll get him.

Mother!

Stop!

Jennifer! Where is your mother?

She did not survive.

You knew it all along, right?

I...

I did not want it to happen.

Help us! Over there!

Allows you?

Thanks.

Caution. Up!

Fast!

Press waiting, Mr. Van Zandt.

I'll be right.

Good.

- It's your fault! - Who are you?

This is the result of your plan. It is your responsibility.

Tell the world what happened. That there was a bomb.

Hindenburg crashed, so the Germans able to procure military equipment.

You have to tell them everything -

- to make up for your misdeed.

This is exactly what I intend to do.

Herr Van Zandt, I allowed myself to write anything to the press.

Thank you.

If you want to see your daughter again, you doing exactly as I say.

She is on the way to the hospital!

No, she is not.

Miss Norris works for me -

- Just as paramedics, Mr. Van Zandt.

Herr Van Zandt, it here the end of the embargo?

Are you going to sell helium to the Germans?

Take Kröger.

FIVE DAYS LATER

Two days ago began the U.S. AAIB -

- a thorough investigation of the disaster.

Tomorrow a German exploration - committee, led by Hugo Eckener -

- Director of Zeppelin GmbH -

- join the American experts in NY

result of the survey expected with great excitement.

We still do not know what caused the explosion -

- But we will use all means to solve it.

Zeppelin GmbH is deeply affected by this tragedy -

- but with the lifting of the embargo will ensure helium is used -

- and so we are sure, to airships future looks bright.

Thank you, gentlemen.

Eckener!

Merten?

They assumed that you were dead.

The good news is, I have it even worse.

- Where have you been? - I hid myself.

Come into my room.

You bastard! They have Jennifer Van Zandt!

- I did not know. - You lied about Van Zandts call!

- I had to think of the shipping company! - Of course. Company!

What about employees and passengers on the Hindenburg?

And Sauter?

I, who trusted you.

All aboard trusted you.

You do not understand.

Political pressure was enormous.

From the military.

Reichstag and Nazi Party.

Endless threats, blackmail and collusion.

I detest everything what they forced me to.

Swastika on the Hindenburg, Goering's future plans -

- only to be crushed to death.

There is one thing...

... You can do.

They have Jennifer Van Zandt, you can help free her.

What?

I have something they want.

Dr. Eckener. Mr. Van Zandt was waiting for me.

Herr Van Zandt.

Dr. Eckener...

Believe me, probably not -

- but I really regret everything what happened.

This had nothing with zeppelins to do, right?

Goering did not care about they were filled with helium or hydrogen.

He wanted additives for promoting Hitler's war plans.

It seems that he gets his way.

What about you?

I just want my daughter back.

What makes you think that they do not -

- fooling us lately? It is not honorable people.

How dare you talk about honor?

Why did you say nothing?

Had it made a difference?

Go away!

- Jennifer! - Do not come closer!

- Do you have papers? - The agreement reads as follows:

If I disclose documents release the Miss Van Zandt.

The votes.

No, Merten! Documents can prevent a world war.

Jennifer...

What the hell is this?

I kept my end of the bargain. There are documents.

They had a rough ride due to the accident. Freedom for Miss Van Zandt now!

Very clever, Kröger. Although they are destroyed, we still have a problem.

We made a deal!

If I release Miss Van Zandt -

- what prevents so her father from speaking his public?

Things that can prevent lifting of the embargo.

I promise not to say anything.

Jennifer...

I have been a silly old fool. I see that now.

I hope you will remember me as the man I was -

- when you were a little girl.

Out! I want to talk to Mr. Singer in private.

Everybody out!

- Out! - I'm not leaving you, Dad.

I'll be fine. Better than ever.

Do not worry. Everything becomes good again.

Everything is prima!

No, Jennifer! Come here.

When allegations of a crime could not be proved -

- assumed AAIB, unhappy circumstances - < / i>

- had caused the explosion.

Upon landing was a leak in chamber 4 or 5 rear -

= = - possibly caused of a loose wire.

Thus flowed hydrogen between the chamber and the skin.

Quick voltages as a result of the storm -

- created an electric discharge: Sparks.

Probably sparked mixture of hydrogen and air.

13 passengers and 22 crew - members died in the disaster -

- as well as an American on earth.

8 May set Minister Hermann Goering temporarily -

- all transatlantic air traffic.

It is reported that the Committee have just found evidence...

Back to work!

Your country is so beautiful.

Yes, is not it?

Maybe we should settle down here.

Maybe.

A fine place to fly in a glider.

You know how it ended. I'll save you not again.
