If the world hates you: know that
it hated me before it hated you. John 15:18
Mr.
Lord was the first word I learned.
It was what my nice mother taught me as a child.
I used to say that when I was seven years old,
He saw an angel at the foot of my bed.
That he heard the angels say:
"Rupert, if you play your violin
to delight the Lord,
You will be the best violinist in Germany. "
He said that the angel had told him:
"Rupert's life is not just his,
only God can guide it. "
My mother told stories of the old Germany
about how it was that the handsome King Ludwig
lost the life that many believed was the product of a conspiracy.
That he knew a baroness who taught him
the original jacket that had two holes
and let my mother put
his pretty pale fingers on the king's jacket.
The one he used when he was murdered.
And that night he knew that providence
he was present in his life
and that his son would be someone special.
More important than the king,
even that Ludwig.
That his son would be a priest
of the king of kings.
Eat.
Eat motivated by a fervent desire.
What's up, Rupert?
Dad, there is a father of greater authority
and every good man pays homage to him
before you even try the food.
Is right,
and we have not blessed the table the last nights.
Right, dad, and of course
that will not let us out of purgatory
if we do not cross ourselves and pray.
You can not imagine how true you are, brother.
Only because I'm afraid of purgatory.
If that's what you have to do to enter
in the kingdom of heaven, so be it.
Fear.
Yes, we are all afraid.
I'm not scared.
I do it for love.
I love the Lord.
Mom.
He always smiled and made me proud to be a man.
Priest.
And German.
At that time, Germany was filled with a spirit of generosity.
A humanitarian spirit
A sweet spirit
A spirit of sacrifice for others.
Bavaria was Catholic.
It was a warm country.
Although the smell of blood was close.
May the Lord be with you.
God bless you.
Will God end the war?
Will it save the guys at the front?
Bullshit
There is no Heaven
and without a doubt the only hell is this:
the earth.
Just a moment.
Mr.
What's wrong, father?
Although he is not a believer
put coins in my can?
I have seen it.
You care about people.
He really has a good heart.
I met his father,
he was a businessman in Stuttgart
and I sold him oriental rugs.
You could have had a more prosperous life,
but go from here to there
and wearing these discarded clothes
for rich.
It inspires pity.
That's why I give him coins.
You are a Christian in the background, sir.
You will be blessed
and I hope that one day I will find the Lord.
Listen, father.
My mother died a long time ago,
and while I was alive I would have been beaten
If I had done two things:
Do not eat your matzo soup and do not keep being Jewish.
Thank you.
I am so sorry.
Excuse me please.
Donna?
Yes?
Donna von Bayern, I remember her,
you were in Regensburg.
My dad was there during the convention.
We had hot apple sausage and cider.
It was the coldest winter I've ever lived.
I do not...
I'm Rupert Mayer.
I played the violin for his father that night.
OMG.
I remember already. I am so sorry.
Was it Vivaldi?
Yes, he has a good memory.
I hope so.
I'm studying laws.
How fabulous
I knew it. I knew it when I saw it.
When I met her, I knew it would be someone
that would contribute something.
But if you became a priest.
Your family must be very proud of you.
It gives me great pleasure to see you, Donna,
but I have an appointment.
I'm going late to advise a family.
I am allowed to give hugs.
I am a priest, not a stone column.
I am very proud of you.
Munich needs more men like you.
Father Mayer, get in the trench!
Drop down, come here!
Run, run!
Down!
Father Mayer, on the ground!
He really went crazy.
He sits for hours playing the same song
and again. Down.
Fire Fire!
Father.
Kill those damn ones.
I can not kill.
Coward. Are all priests cowards?
Then, die.
A piano in a trench?
He has been there for many months, sir.
We've been living in this trench for months.
We live, eat and die on this earth, father.
Stop playing now!
Do not touch!
Do not!
Killing is one thing.
Murder is another.
Put the gun down.
Drop it!
A grenade, get out!
Get out, father, get out!
Come on, come on, hurry!
Come on, move, fast, come on!
Shoot!
I will pray for you.
Do not pray for me,
I do not believe in those idiocies!
Father.
I do not care what he says, but...
But I am Jewish.
- Is he Jewish? -Yes sir.
It is normal to die in the trench,
but it's not that unusual to be a Jew.
There are hundreds of thousands of Jewish soldiers.
They gave me this iron cross.
I have a brother on the Western Front
and a cousin in Italy. They also have one.
Thirty thousand decorated Jewish soldiers.
I feel like I'm dying.
It's weird, but I'm not afraid.
Can you read me the Torah?
The five books of Moses, of course.
Pray for me, father!
Pray! Pray!
Did not he say he was not a believer?
Just in case, father!
Do you know what were the last words of Beethoven?
I will listen to it in Heaven.
Pray, please, pray!
My God, forgive me if I have offended you!
My God, forgive me if I have offended you!
You did well, son.
You did it well.
You did it well!
Gas! Get out!
The mask! Get out!
Run, father, run!
Get out!
Damn foul Russian!
[Unintelligible]
Run, father!
Go on, come on, come on!
Behind the tree! Run, come on!
Fuck
I ran out of ammunition.
Bastard son of a bitch!
Father.
If God exists, women are beautiful, but
How could it make Russian men so ugly?
They fought very well, you bastards.
Rough Germans.
They took my friends away.
They took my brother away from me.
And the assault troops took away all my battalion.
It will be a pleasure to blow your brains out.
Do not kill him.
Please, make him prisoner.
Never!
It will bleed in a few seconds.
According to the treaty, you must make him a prisoner!
To hell with you, to hell with the treaty.
Stand aside, priest.
Please.
I beg you.
Make him prisoner.
On one side, priest!
Please I beg you.
Make him prisoner.
Please I beg you.
Stand aside, priest, or I'll kill you...!
Do not!
Do not!
Enough!
Enough!
Shut up, priest. I will kill you too.
High!
Did you hear that?
What is it?
What is it?
Review them all.
Is dead.
The priest.
Still alive.
Last month in Versailles
a treaty that ensured peace was signed.
I do not know who signed it,
but God bless you, brother.
Although this is a church,
Not a municipal assembly.
I know it as well as you.
I was a doctor in the territorial division section.
I know very well
the views,
the smell
Y
the sounds of war.
I know very well the sufferings of Germany
and the rest of the world
as a result of this difficult war.
Dear brothers and sisters,
Many of us have stories.
Memories of the lives of children, brothers and sisters
made pieces.
I know how they feel.
I know what it looks like.
But we must forget our hatred.
We must learn to forgive.
You forgive our enemies.
To forgive our neighbors, ourselves.
Dr. Reichtor,
Where does it go?
Are my sermons so boring?
Father.
I lost three of my children.
I lost my sister who committed suicide
when they killed his son in Italy.
I lost my wife who died of grief.
I personally amputated 500 arms and legs.
I will not forgive the French or the British
and much less the damned Americans.
All my progeny lie in graves
west of here, in no man's land.
I can not forgive.
I can not!
Dr. Reichtor,
our savior suffered an indescribable torture,
an indescribable pain and yes, even death,
at the hands of an infamous enemy.
Are we not like him?
I'm sorry to say it.
I know it hurts.
It hurts to say it.
It hurt!
I ran out of soul
They ripped my heart
and the absence of forgiveness consumes me!
To such a degree, that not even hell can remedy it!
If I have to go to hell because of my absence of forgiveness, so be it.
I light the first flame,
but France will be my second flame.
It is easy to see the expression of this man
as a product of an eternal pain.
But we all suffer together.
And we will all rebuild together.
We will live again.
We will work again.
We will smile again.
God knows there is a time for war.
A time for struggles.
And a time for peace.
What happens?
It does not move.
Well, you asked for it.
What is the problem, brother?
This stubborn mule does not move.
It always stops when I'm in Munich
and I have to swallow the shame and lost time.
It has fragile hooves, but it's no excuse.
It must move!
Father, if you do not let go of my arm,
the belt will be for you.
I support the church,
but I will not stop feeding my children
because of a damn horse.
Do you realize that this horse is your support
besides who is your brother?
Yes Yes.
He is no more than the son of an ass.
The sweetness will help much more than the hardness
to that horse move.
Clear,
I've already tried.
The only thing that motivates him to move
He's a good spanking, father.
Do you know
How many horses died for us in the war?
Do you know how many?
He knows?
No, father, I do not know.
Ten million.
Do you know how many creatures of God they are?
Ten million died for us in the war.
Get in your car.
And if the horse does not move with my words,
I will give you my Iron Cross.
I will be the rightful owner of this,
iron priest
You will see it.
He is a fool like a mule.
He refuses to move.
Go putting that cross on my lapel, father.
Dear father:
I remember reading the Old Testament,
in specific Numbers 22:28.
Then the Lord made the donkey speak,
which asks Balaam:
"What have I done that deserved that you beat me three times?"
If you can make a donkey talk,
you can make a horse trot.
I think so.
Dear friend,
I ask you to move
In the name of the Lord.
Father,
Could I try that trick with my husband?
Maybe I need three apples.
Frau von Bayern,
I'm glad to see you
Well, many of us had a lot of work to suffer.
It is not easy to save a city.
And I found out that you have represented
to very important clients,
even that had something to do with the protection of some
of the men of the resistance of the rearguard.
Yes, we brought them all safely to Munich
but the French troops are still there.
The German occupation at the hands of the French.
Who would have imagined it?
I am a servant of the Lord, my dear,
but to be forced to do so,
it could allow the sisters to give communion to the French.
Of course I say it in jest.
Father, I am more serious than you in that subject.
Reparations and the Treaty of Versailles
awarded to children and grandchildren
of the war are more than a heavy anchor.
That is why I pray that God will send us to a leader,
although I feel that hatred will be his father.
The National Socialist Party formed a huge group
in our city now.
Please tell me you have not succumbed
I love my country.
I like our traditions.
But I do not like to hate.
There was a meeting yesterday of the Nazis
in the Beer Hall Putsch.
Things got intense.
And today there is a march,
a Nazi march.
They say there will not be much quorum.
And I pray to God that his cause is extinguished like plague.
Alms for the poor.
Alms for the poor.
-God bless you, Father Mayer. -Thanks, Donna.
Japan invades China. Japan invades China.
Buy the newspaper. Buy it
Alms for the poor.
Father Mayer -Larissa.
I have not been to church for more than two months.
I feel damn.
Dear Larissa,
the curses are for witches, not for Christians.
I have seen curses many times
when I read the Holy Bible.
I have seen the prophets curse,
I have seen that God Himself curses.
Larissa,
our Father never gives us anything
with what we can not deal with.
And the Lord says that too.
Father.
A rumor circulates through the streets
and also in the factories.
There is a rumor that Hitler will invade my native country.
Who wants to recover his old German land
and that will kill
to my mother, my sisters and my brothers
when it does
Dear, Poland is a strong country now.
Not like in the 20s.
Now it is strong and effervescent
and it is full of solid ideas and strong men and women.
Father, I've been evil.
I slept with a man.
I have loved a man,
I have kissed his lips and I have had sins of the flesh.
I missed you, I missed the Church.
But I will never deny my Christ, father.
So there would be 10 thousand men with 10 thousand weapons
sticking with them on the ground.
Will God forgive me, father?
He was married.
Larissa, it's not timely.
It is not a confession, tomorrow I will come to see you.
No, father, please.
I need you to tell me now.
Please tell me that God forgives me.
I need it now in the streets,
Under the moon.
Please, I must get rid of this curse.
Dear, I beg you,
go see me tomorrow
No matter how full the parish is,
I promise to go to you first.
I promise to see you first.
Dear, I beg you,
go see me tomorrow
Alms for the poor.
Alms for the poor.
Good morning sir,
and God bless you for coming.
I remember.
I have many years of not seeing his face.
He is almost a stranger.
And we should all welcome strangers.
We must all welcome the foreigners.
We must all welcome the people
that is not German
We see a lot of chaos in our own streets.
The reds against the Nazis,
the Nazis against the left,
brother against brother,
sister against sister.
The prophecy has been fulfilled, has it not?
If we change our beliefs,
if we change our spirits to appease a government,
to a regime,
we will be better off taking the mark from the beast.
Yes, the beast could be near us.
We must be strong.
Be a strong German nation.
To be a compassionate German people.
A compassionate German people,
generous and loving.
Not a town with...
... fascist ideology.
A town that dictates to hate our brother.
A town that drives us to kill our sister.
A town that demands that we annihilate
to strangers that surround us.
Dear brother,
where are you going
in such a hurry?
Father,
my wife is at home with our newborn son.
He is male.
The doctor said we could not have children,
but we could.
I think it's a miracle.
I believe in the same God as you,
but the words that you are preaching now
they are a spider's web
and we could fall into that web
and then we would all be devoured by a spider
which is much more powerful than the Pope in Rome.
That spider has millions of weapons
and millions of soldiers
with the same idea.
I have seen markets and stores
Jews who spoil
and they destroy
and the people who take to the streets.
He must do what Jesus did.
What? To be a pacifist?
Looking the other way?
Yes, his wisdom prevails.
And yes, it is understood.
And yet, did not Jesus beat the money changers?
Did not he reveal that fervent anger?
An angry and pious force when necessary.
I feel like if we stop trying now,
we allow the demon to exist.
Did not the apostles expel the demons?
Spiders, as you say,
they can still be expelled.
If our voice is strong now!
I love my son very much.
Good day, Father Mayer.
May God protect your body
and his soul.
Dear brothers and sisters,
Today I have a surprise for you.
Mrs. Anna Wunder
and Mr. Gabriel Goldberg
of our Jewish community
they will recite the Lord's prayer in Aramaic.
Does anyone else want to leave?
Go now!
What does a Nazi believe?
What does he believe?
That man is measured
by the size of his head,
by the color of your skin.
What does the Church believe in?
A man is measured
by the size of your heart,
for the greatness of his forgiveness.
And what does the Nazi regime say?
I hate, war,
resentment,
discrimination.
The Jews...
... our neighbors.
They send them, like cattle,
to a field to the unknown.
Father Rupert Mayer...
... is under arrest.
If someone in this church,
if anyone says
single word
against our homeland,
Adolf Hitler is our god.
Young,
Do you know who is being mocked?
Do you know what kind of man is
who has just arrested?
He is a servant of a living god,
not of a dead god.
Not a traveling corpse like you.
Do you think you will not have to answer
for what you have done
and your cronies?
Because of what they have done to my Germany?
To my beautiful and brave Germany?
We are like
beasts for the Lord.
Old man,
knows
Who is he talking to in this tone?
I am a decorated officer.
I risked my life
in the First World War for my homeland.
I was in the front in no man's land
and I lost both legs
for my country.
And I've never seen an enemy
neither in the field nor in any trench
like the devil I've seen in his eyes.
But I found out what you do in the fields.
I heard.
That is not Germany.
That's not the Germans.
Old man.
Look, old man,
ask your God
to send an angel.
Run.
I'm not afraid to die.
I'm not afraid to see
to my creator.
Greater
the one in me that
the one who is in the world.
Guard.
Take her to the patio.
Look no more.
The famous father Rupert Mayer.
Who is she, please?
Belongs to the resistance group Rosa Blanca.
But do not worry, father.
It will not be lost.
We all know that the Jews control
the theater business in Munich a long time ago
and tonight they will join the Jewish opera.
Please, father, be my guest.
Goodnight.
Ruth Rosenberg, today October 27, 1937
its execution is ordered
for opposing the German Reich.
Abel Rosenberg,
its execution is ordered
for opposing the German Reich.
Everyone will pay for this.
The Americans will massacre them like pigs!
Because they are pigs!
Filthy pigs!
Nazi pigs!
No, God, no.
I want to live.
I want to live, do not do this to me.
Please do not kill me. Let me live, please.
Please.
In the name of the Fuhrer
Execute them!
I am so sorry,
I tried to make her wait.
Mrs. Sebastian, I thought our appointment was canceled.
Mom,
we must take a boat
exactly in eight hours.
I know, son.
This is very important.
An entire family is at stake.
Wants to...?
It's okay, fraulein Dierz,
please take care of the documents.
Yes, Miss.
Son, please leave me alone with lawyer von Bayern.
Please hurry up, mom.
We will not be late.
Mrs. Sebastian, please, sit down.
Please forgive me,
I know we've talked before.
It seems that every minute I spend in this country becomes increasingly cold.
I imagine he does not mean
to the weather, Mrs. Sebastian.
He is very right.
Call me Joanna.
Joanna, listen.
With regard to the family
and the art of Mr. Stern,
I have not been able to talk about it
with nobody yet.
The last time we saw each other was just three days ago,
so I could not do anything
It is not a common family.
The Sterns have collected
some of the most coveted pieces of art in the world.
If he suffers it is only because...
The only reason is...
What are Jews?
I understand it well.
Do you think that's not something
with what I wake up every day
and what makes me question why it happens?
You should not ask why.
But how?
How, damn it.
How is it possible?
How can it happen?
I've known this man for years
and his family.
I bought his works,
I have collected his work,
I have exposed his work,
I've seen him work.
He is one of the most respected men in the art world.
How is it possible in a country with so much culture,
in a country with a history like yours?
How can you fall on your knees before
an incompetent, unattractive,
clumsy, squalid
and viscous viper that writhes?
And do not forget what you have there.
It's not a mustache.
It's one thing
Clark Gable's is a mustache.
I think we have similar tastes.
Dear Donna.
I've been representing this man's work for a decade.
I owe my career to him
as an art dealer in New York and he's a friend
very, very dear.
I beg, I beg
let him out of here.
They confiscated his American passport
and they do not answer to anyone.
He has tried everything and...
You are my last resort.
They took his work.
He does not know where he is.
I can not stay longer.
My husband threatened me not only to divorce me,
but with taking our son.
He worries to much.
That's right.
Joanna, listen.
I'm a lawyer, not an angel.
Even before the Nazis assumed power,
the system was already very difficult to move.
I get it.
This is for you.
All.
There are 5000 state marks.
I'll send you more from New York.
I beg of you to get him out of here.
I will do everything possible,
I promise you.
But I can not accept a payment for this.
This is something that anyone with a heart
I would do it from the heart.
I understand that even one of their own,
a local hero,
he is a victim of the regime. Father Rupert, right?
Father Mayer was released from prison this week.
Yes, he does not submit to those who hold power.
There should be more people like him here.
Father Rupert Mayer is absolutely right.
I pray for him.
Mom, it's time to leave Germany.
Donna,
with Father Rupert Mayer
and my dear friend Mr. Stern
I wish you good luck.
Thanks, Dad.
Father, I do not hear anything.
What do not you hear?
The bells.
Bells always ring at the time of confession.
It's my favorite sound.
Father, I'm sorry,
but there is something that I have
what to report
What...
Go ahead, son, I'm a seasoned man,
of that you can be sure.
Father, today first thing
came the soldiers and...
... they took the bells.
They were all taken away.
Why could the Nazis want church bells?
For bullets, father.
It came out in today's newspaper.
They are gathering everything they can to make more bullets.
I never thought to live to see this.
Can I come in, father?
Yes, come in, please.
Son,
tell me what overwhelms you.
We confess to each other.
I am as sinful as you
and it's not me who forgives you.
You were spared the lashes of Him more than 1,900 years ago.
Are you a sinner, father?
I do not know if that is true.
What is it you need to vent, son?
Father, you have seen many things over the years
in Munich, in the war, in his life,
the political change.
This is not a political venue, sir.
Yes, I know, father.
I know, but please, listen to me, father.
My heart is troubled and curious.
Father, the Nazis have taken over Germany.
Hitler has assumed total control,
earning the loyalty of all: men, women and children.
No i do not believe it.
What do you mean?
Do you mean that you are against the Fuhrer?
I am against anyone who kills without mercy.
I am against anyone who is going to destroy our Germany
with an iron hand and no compassion.
And I'm against anyone who pretends to be a god
being that there is only one god,
blessed be his name.
Help me understand.
Are you saying that it is not true that Adolf Hitler
Have you done many positive things for Germany?
Because just a few days ago
They pulled a long list in the newspaper.
I am a priest, not a politician.
Well, I would be convinced otherwise, father.
I listen to your sermons that are certainly interesting.
He gives them a lion's fervor,
but there is an eagle hovering nearby.
What does that mean?
Did he come to confession,
or to confuse me?
Father, I will list you
the things that Adolf Hitler has done for Germany.
He is not my leader.
There is only one leader.
There is only one power.
And there is only one that I listen to.
I mean God the Father.
The Fuhrer has declared illegal the disgusting use of tobacco,
which God sure sees with good eyes, or not?
There is only one that I follow.
He has declared vivisection illegal,
the damage to animals in experiments.
Noah brought with him a couple of each animal,
God should see that with good eyes, right?
It's my god that I follow.
The only thing I need is His word.
It has encouraged reproduction programs for young Germans.
Does not the Bible say: "Reproduce and multiply"?
The word of God must not be distorted by Nazi dreams.
What dreams, father?
The Fuhrer has commissioned Ferninand Porsche
to design an economical and low maintenance car
to the average German man.
The Bible says that you have to give to the needy, or not?
Everything is vanity in the eyes of God.
All material benefit is vanity,
especially when there are those who are persecuted
for the improvement of others.
The Fuhrer has given us the motorway network.
Father Mayer, do not you understand the motorway network.
Its design is the brightest in the entire world.
There is genius in every kilometer of it.
For each kilometer of it are transported
bombs, bullets and weapons that destroy
houses of innocent Polish children and other people.
He has created a fleet of ocean liners
for the average workers in Germany to use.
The first cable network for radios in history.
It was the subject of articles in newspapers in the United States.
They envy our leader.
The Antichrist will be a proud man,
says in the Apocalypse.
The Fuhrer has employed 869 300 men
in the forestry program of the Third Reich.
Heaven and Earth will pass,
but my words will not pass.
He has stimulated our economy
and being one of the worst in Europe
it became one of the first in the world.
Sparkly. Simply brilliant.
He is an alchemist with a talent that gave him the time.
It has stimulated radiation research,
Asbestos, heavy metals and alcohol effects.
God instructions so that
organic foods are produced,
encouraged vegetarianism and natural healing.
It is promoting alternative energies
instead of oil or nuclear energy.
Your aeronautical program is one of
the brightest in the history of mankind.
He is the prince of the power of the air,
Satan himself.
Out!
Get out, Fischer.
Take it. Take it.
He has the nerve to say
that one of the best, most regal and elegant
Men of history is the devil?
Does he say that the Fuhrer is the devil?
Everything you have said is recorded here.
This is technological progress, father.
The Gestapo.
All will burn in hell!
Take it to Landsberg.
Take it, I do not see it.
He will go to prison.
Largo, father, is an enemy of the state.
Enemy of the Reich.
He will go to purgatory.
And while it rots in hell idolizing its
Pathetic and dirty potato, we will be flying to the moon.
And to think that we are sending rockets to the moon.
To the moon, father!
The Aryans will be the first to conquer the moon.
Mayer
Father Mayer.
Father, I have a gift for you
on behalf of Father Heinz.
It's the Iron Cross.
I'm not allowed to give it to you.
God bless you, young man.
Heil Hitler.
The corn was good.
-We'll see each other for lunch. -So shall.
Father Mayer.
I've been listening to him for months.
I think he's a brilliant violinist,
although with due respect,
I find it depressing.
I will break his face.
Do you know who you are talking to?
Servo, I'm fine.
I can pay attention to this man.
He seems to be a very benign critic
compared to others in Munich.
Thanks, go sit down.
I was the owner...
... of four butchers in Munich, father.
I have three brothers, two sisters,
a mother and a father
who worked 34 years
to make those butcheries prosper in order to inherit them
to all my brothers.
And we all lost them in a day.
However, he has special skills as a butcher.
And the orders are to have him alive for Dachau's kitchen.
For now...
... make the preparations
for your release tomorrow and transportation.
I've been here for two years
and tomorrow I will travel to Dachau.
A concentration camp
And his parents?
All died.
They massacred them.
To all.
I have no reason to live,
no reason to breathe.
Shortly after leaving, I will kill one of those officers.
I want to die.
I do not want to live in this hell
and I want to be shot in the streets
as to my honorable father.
They say he screamed cursing the Gestapo
all the way until he had
almost 100 bullets in the body.
My father played the violin.
It was the best in Munich.
He was an excellent butcher, but he was even more
brilliant as a violinist.
Priest, do you want to touch me
a Yiddish song?
When my father started playing, he loved all these songs.
There are those who smoke on the gallows
as his last wish.
I do not smoke or drink,
but I loved my father's violin.
Could you play for me
any Yiddish song?
I used to touch that in the mission
and during my trips.
Do you want something to touch you?
Do you really want to do that for me?
Even if I do not pray the Hail Mary?
No, you are who you are
and I, who am a sinner, can not even change myself.
Who am I to think
that I have the audacity to change you?
Touch, please.
Please, touch.
If you play in this German prison,
I'll think he's like my father.
As a true father.
A man with chutzpah.
Do you have chutzpah , father?
Are you afraid of those big Aryans?
His savior never feared anyone.
They say he even hit the bad guys.
I understand what you say, brother.
Just tell me something.
What is chutzpah?
I'll tell him if he plays.
Do you want me to put an end to this, sir?
No, I'm not a monster.
It will be the last time.
Let the monkeys touch.
Get in the vehicle.
Death is a door that opens.
Free Father Mayer!
Free Father Mayer! Free Father Mayer!
Free Father Mayer! Free Father Mayer!
Free Father Mayer! Free Father Mayer!
Free Father Mayer! Free Father Mayer!
Move!
Move!
Come in please.
Dr. Scheller,
It's a great honor to send me to call to discuss
the situation of Father Rupert Mayer in the Landsberg prison.
Almost two years have passed
since my father was buried in Engelstadt.
That's where I grew up.
A very proud German family.
My father was a farmer,
my mother
I worked with children
and he broke down working to give me a good life,
an education.
And the biggest and warmest schnitzel
that any developing child could want.
And he gave me love.
Like my father. Love.
I understand that kind of stories well.
Dear Donna von Bayern, please
accept this,
this white rose
as a token of my appreciation
so you will have to endure
tonight in Landsberg.
Let's go for a walk, please.
There are many lawyers in Munich
who are better prepared to try to convince the Gestapo
to free Father Rupert Mayer from Landsberg Prison.
Listen, this is a direct order
of the Reichstag in Berlin.
They asked me to hire her
to represent it in Landsberg
in a mock trial or hearing.
There is a place near the Landsberg prison
You will be responsible for
the surface representation in Landsberg
before Mr. Muller,
who is the director of the Gestapo in that area.
My God, he is a demon.
Yes, I'm sorry. I have to agree with you.
You. You will go there.
And he will free Father Mayer.
You can make him come back to Munich,
that he returns to his church of San Miguel
if he manages to make me shut up.
If you can stop preaching crazy things
that was what caused him to end up in prison twice.
It can be free.
I would arrive tomorrow at Landsbergo,
but...
... I'm a coward.
So I'll send it to you.
If only I could have saved the life of a single Jew,
from the mother of a son,
I could sleep at night.
I could smile to the future.
Trying is the only thing that counts.
You believe?
Really?
Do not let guilt consume it.
We sleep near monsters.
I know.
You gave me this red rose,
but he said it was a white rose.
Look at it again.
It is a white rose.
Do not you care if I smoke?
Mr. Muller, I do not smoke.
So...
...that makes?
I did not come to talk about my personal life.
I assure you that I am not the person
who does not give a damn the despair of any man
or woman in this matter.
I'm not here to give Father Rupert Mayer...
... no mock circus
For the international press!
His damn name is famous for his contempt for the Fuhrer,
For our country and for our
courageous men in battle!
Their...
... sins here, your goddamn religious mouth
he spends anti-German rhetoric spitting.
That's why I hate it!
If it had been up to me,
he would be traveling
for the last time to Dachau.
Contrary to what you believe, Mr. Muller,
human beings, although unfortunately now only the Germans,
they enjoy human rights inside or outside prison.
This man is one
of the most respected priests in our city.
Munich has missed him so much.
And both sides, the resistance and even the Nazis,
They support it equally.
There are hundreds of people in the streets
concentrating on the Marienplatz
by Father Rupert Mayer.
I suggest that you or the Fuhrer...
Are you telling me what our Fuhrer should do?
Have the...?
Chutzpah
What does that mean?
What does that mean?
What does that mean, huh?
It means courage.
Nerve.
It means good heart and courage.
Nothing of which you know how to express.
Incompetent idiot of infernal fire.
He has no right.
He has no right.
This hearing is guaranteed by the human rights council
who implemented the Reichstag by vote.
You have no right to keep this man in prison.
Fuhrer himself ordered this hearing today.
I want this man released, or...
OR? Or what?
Desperate traitor!
I will write the letter myself.
Or my father, Colonel von Bayern,
will write a personal letter.
We will write a letter...
... to the Fuhrer.
The inhumane treatment of Father Rupert Mayer
it will not be silenced.
It's in the streets, on the radio
and even arrived in the United States.
To hell with the United States.
To hell with Franklin Roosevelt,
Old cripple!
This is not good for our country.
This is not good for Germany.
He is a priest. A priest!
I have to go out
heading to Berlin right now.
Mrs. Bahr, since Father Mayer left,
attendance plummeted to 20%.
I have been praying that Father Mayer will be released soon.
Father Mayer has returned.
Father Mayer! Father Mayer!
Father Heinz.
Father, you will not like it.
A sermon...
... prepared by the Nazis.
Father, many are afraid.
Afraid to come,
fear of the Gestapo,
afraid to go to prison or to the fields.
And some, rather many,
They believed this propaganda.
Of the great Aryan spirit, of the great Aryan lineage.
Can you believe it, father?
The other night I witnessed a book burn.
They were burning books by Freud, Einstein
and singing pagan songs
as if we had stepped back into history.
Jesus Christ of Nazareth,
our Lord,
resisted
He did not retreat before the Romans or anyone else.
He did not retract from the truth of the gospel
because he knew the truth in him.
And I knew that the truth was the only sword
that could defeat the dragons of his time.
The apostles followed
the steps of our Lord as well as his passion.
They did not stop preaching.
Not even before death.
His courage came from another kingdom.
I am not worthy to even pronounce their names.
But I will tell you the following:
everybody,
all of us,
We must make this decision now.
It will not. Can not.
Should not.
It will?
I would be brave.
A brave fool
We must not do it alone for the good of humanity,
not only because of the miraculous possibility of saving a single Jew,
a gypsy, a Polish, a German,
who stays loyal to his faith and walks.
But we must make this decision now
because our souls depend on it.
And God is telling us all,
is demanding from all of us,
that we reject the mark of this beast.
And that beast is Adolf Hitler.
He is a beast and I will not accept his mark
and I demand that my people reject their brand!
He is a murderer!
If you do not shut up, shut it yourself.
Shut up now, priest!
Shut up, priest!
Move!
Walking!
Walking!
High!
Walk!
My God, where do they take it?
- Shut up! -Let him be here!
Let him be here!
Father,
I wash my hands in this.
Mr. Justice, can I go to the court?
Ahead.
No desire to offend, gentlemen,
this was supposed to be a public hearing.
Do not.
It is not a public hearing.
Father Rupert Mayer,
I warn you.
Your previous prison sentences
They have affected your current situation.
It is not the same as before.
It is not a prison.
Do you have something to say before you are sentenced?
Yes, I have something to say.
Ahead.
I will never stop preaching.
Never again
as long as a single drop of blood remains on my body.
I will not stop telling the truth.
We must stop the murder of German brothers and sisters.
We must stop this madness.
According to reports,
Father Mayer has been beaten.
He has endured executions in prison,
they have slapped him, they have spat on him,
has endured imprisonment
and has even presented serious health problems.
Have you tried depriving him of food?
Silence.
Father Rupert Mayer,
He has been sentenced to...
... the Sachsenhausen concentration camp near Berlin.
Holy God.
Silence, lawyer.
It will spend the first seven months
in isolation
until he learns to be a true member
of this wonderful society
that the Fuhrer has given his life to grant us.
It can not kill my spirit.
Only God can take it away.
You are all puppets.
Some puppets
They are under massive mental control.
Open your eyes
I saw the first war.
I have seen many Jews who fought at my side.
I have seen how they fly
arms and legs in front of me.
Their lifeless faces,
a sacrifice for my dear Germany.
Tens of thousands were awarded the Iron Cross.
They received this Iron Cross out of loyalty to Germany.
They received this Iron Cross
and many died in my arms.
Now they condemn them all.
God will not have mercy.
He will not have it!
With Jews and Gypsies
I have read the ruthless experiments with twins.
Ruthless!
My God, is this my Germany?
I dare say no.
This is not my Germany.
This is another country!
When Moses came down from the mountain, there were two Israeles,
and now there are two Germanies.
Two!
Take,
stay with her!
It is the only cross you will see in your life.
All of you have fed me up.
Soldier, let's talk.
Franz, go to sleep.
You can not afford to have more problems with the guards, go.
You either, Miss Palkovitz.
Why do not you have shackles?
And why did they arrive so late?
Can not you see that he is sick?
Holy God.
What happens? Tell me please.
Is the. Is the.
Father Rupert Mayer.
He has some virus, he'll be fine.
He vomited the whole damn vehicle.
Let's take him to the infirmary.
The direct orders of Himmler
it is to be put in isolation. And he finished.
To isolation now.
God bless you all
and their mothers.
A priest.
How do they do this to a priest?
He was...
He is my priest from Munich.
They do it to the whole world.
Yes, but a priest?
He only did good and saw others.
I wanted him to pray for me.
He had returned.
I sensed a curse.
And he was right
I was right.
three weeks later
Larissa
Father.
Father!
Can you hear me?
OMG.
Father Mayer, what have they done to you?
Franz, today looks great.
I beg the two of you
to return to their rooms
before the guards come and hurt them.
Father, take this.
It's my water ration,
but I'm full.
Take this, please.
Take this, father. Take it
No, my daughter, please.
Take it. You need it.
No, take it
I beg you.
If you do not take it, it goes...
I'm going to die?
Am I not dead already? Do not.
A priest who can not preach is already dead.
-Do not. -Father, we need it.
I found out that the Americans joined the war.
They are big and strong like mountain bears
and they do not die with ten bullets in their bellies.
They will come. They will come.
I am sorry.
The curse is almost over.
But you must pray, father.
Can you take my hand?
Father.
The Duke and Countess of Bavaria
they were parishioners of his church.
They said that his church remained open
when there was none.
They said: "When Father Rupert Mayer prays,
when he prays, God hears his prayers
and when Father Rupert Mayer prayed for my father
sick, he got better.
By the work of Christ.
Father, this chocolate is for you.
I give it to him.
It's the only piece of chocolate in the camp,
at least for the prisoners.
I give it to him.
But I beg you to please pray
because I go back to see my mother and my father.
Son, calm your spirit.
God answers the prayers of a man who fasts.
Believe me, my son, I fasted more than I would have wanted.
Come here.
Thank you.
It tastes sweeter than I could have imagined.
Thank you, my son.
Come here, come closer.
Dear father...
My dear Lord,
Through your son Jesus Christ you give us hope.
In this dark place we feel your light.
We feel your spirit of light.
I beg of you, Father,
that this boy...
May this boy...
The Prince of Bavaria, father.
He is the prince of Bavaria.
May this prince of Bavaria
be blessed
and I beg of you, Father,
that he can reunite with his family.
This young man with such a strong spirit
He gave your servant a taste of sweetness
that relieved the body of your servant.
I beg you, Father.
I beg you to allow...
May you allow peace...
Father, please
pray for me too
so that I can reconnect with my daughter.
She is in Dachau.
I have not seen her for years.
The pain, father.
The pain of not seeing those of his own blood
It is even worse than death.
Father, please, pray for me too.
Pray for me.
Hey!
Get out of there! Get out of there!
Go back to your place!
I will kill the boy too
and you know, move!
Father Mayer.
It could be so simple.
If you just sign the document,
they will release him.
I already heard it.
Why do you want to suffer?
All you have to do is stop giving anti-Nazi sermons
and I will personally take you
a schnitzel the size of a house.
I will never stop preaching.
And I will never give up.
I will never stop exposing the demon.
Then, he will return to his hovel!
Today you are a lawyer,
not my daughter.
You're talking about military matters, are not you?
Colonel, I came to beg
for the life of Father Rupert Mayer.
Why the obsession with this priest?
There are many people in concentration camps.
Mothers, daughters, old men like me,
stubborn men like your cousin.
There are many people in concentration camps,
Why this priest?
Why do they all come to his defense?
When you were young I told you that bleeding hearts die before.
Father,
Rupert Mayer is a hero in Munich.
It is considered one of our greatest living legends.
Colonel, you are a great leader.
He is an honorable man.
His armies respect his wisdom.
I need your help.
I found out about the resistance group.
Do you want them to hang you
Like an old towel in Stadelheim?
That you want?
Some nights...
... I dream of death.
It is not a nightmare.
It is a dream
Maybe then,
Maybe then God will free me from this inescapable guilt.
This guilt that dwells in my heart,
in my mind and in my soul.
Some of us know what we do.
Others we become uninformed.
There are those who buried it in the back of our minds,
but all, in the background...
... we know what is happening to them
to these poor people.
Father, I say, Colonel...
... he is a priest, for the love of God.
Does not anyone know how that will affect the image of Germany?
Now we are murderers of priests.
Dad,
according to reports today, in Sachsenhausen
Father Rupert Mayer is about to die.
He suffers from malnutrition among other things.
How far are we going to go, dad?
When will this stop Hitler?
Do not even mention his name.
You have no idea how much you are risking your life.
Dad, listen to me.
It's bad just for Germany,
bad for Bavaria
and bad for the Fuhrer
if this priest dies in a field.
This already circulates in the streets.
There are rebel newspapers that have published
that the father will die.
Listen out...
... I have to be on the western front.
I have issues to attend to.
It is a priest, a man of God.
He has the Iron Cross, for God's sake.
He lost his leg in World War I.
If he is in the camp, it is only because he preaches
the word of our Savior.
This cross
What does it mean?
Before, this cross meant something in Germany.
The words that Christ said
They used to mean something here.
Now I see only pagan symbols,
pagan songs, pagan leaders
and even pagan rituals.
It is a new pagan world order.
If Father Rupert Mayer dies in a camp,
these streets will be full of martyrs.
With anger,
with such resentment,
that neither the Gestapo with its intimidation tactics
They will be able to put out their fury.
Not even the Fuhrer himself can stop the fire.
Father.
Someday you will see your creator.
And how will you respond for this then?
They have released him.
-Released? -Released!
This order comes from very high.
From very high.
Your sentence will end
in a monastery of Ettal Abbey.
Take this pig!
Ettal Abbey Monastery
The Russians are liberating the camp!
High!
Larissa! Larissa!
Get under the bed until
I go back, I must find the way...
Hey! Hey!
Get away from the boy!
Get away from the boy!
I have direct orders to kill the prince.
The prince must die!
Please, it's a boy.
Back off!
Shut up!
Shut up!
The Nazis are here!
Franz Bonaventura,
I, Karl Pon Schwartz of the Third Reich
I have direct orders from the Fuhrer
to execute you!
So be it.
I did not try hard enough.
Mr.
- Keep working, boy. -Yes sir.
How are you? Keep working.
-Keep working. -Yes sir.
I do not know how these submarines are manned,
I tell them that.
Keep sleeping, boy, keep sleeping.
It is colder here than at the North Pole.
Keep working. Rest, rest.
Keep working.
Lieutenant.
Rest.
Why do you owe so much banana, gentlemen?
We are celebrating, sir.
Yes, the war ended.
Sir, I've seen a lot during the years in campaign
and I thank God that this war will end.
But I had not seen an army officer in a submarine.
We only need to have the Air Force
eating rats with us.
Well, I remember you, lieutenant,
that I did not offer myself as a volunteer for this particular mission
and much less my stomach.
I see that he still staggers a little.
Take this pill, I could help you.
I hope so, lieutenant.
How long will the train to Munich take?
when we get to Hamburg?
Approximately ten hours,
eight in a fast vehicle.
Well, I suggest you send a telegram saying that.
I prefer a American Jeep type vehicle.
I'm from Paintsville, Kentucky and my father always told me
that the Jeeps are like women: They hold any man.
Can I ask why Munich, sir?
Well, I think it's not confidential.
I have to pick up a priest.
A kind of resistance hero.
One Father Rupert Mayer, I must ask you for information
about the concentration camps.
The first thing that I will ask you to do
It is praying for my stomach.
Hands up.
Go back Come back!
Move. Come on.
Move! Come on, against the wall!
Move!
Move!
High!
What are you doing, boy?
Mr.
Why do you stop me?
I must take Father Rupert Mayer
to the church of San Miguel that is around the corner.
I'm sorry Mr. This is a mere warning.
To tell him that the Nazis are hidden in the houses,
and they come out suddenly like cockroaches.
So they come out as cockroaches, right?
What happened to the boy?
To the boy?
The Nazis murdered their parents
during the liberation.
I'm sorry, boy.
Do not! Let go!
Hey!
High!
No, let go!
Hey!
Do not! Do not! Do not!
No, let go!
Leave me! Leave me!
Soldier!
What? Does it protect it?
It's just a German whore.
There has already been enough pain.
Enough killings.
Leave that woman alone.
Go out and smoke a cigarette
and I will not form you war council.
Come on!
Yes sir!
I'm sorry lady.
-I am so sorry. -Thank my Lord.
Thank you. Thank you.
Do not repeat, corporal.
Father Rupert Mayer.
What a pleasure to see him alive.
The same thing.
And our Munich destroyed.
Donna, all is not lost.
Not all.
Catch it, ma'am.
Father Mayer died six months after the end of the war.
His last words were: "Lord, Lord, Lord."
