Original subtitles

Enevoldsen asked if I'd like to train as an agent.

- You're here now. - Hi, Edward.

- You have 30 minutes to pack. - Ditmar!

- You'll tell him today. - I have to help him with the building.

He'll be court-martialled.

- I'm sorry. - Tell Stefan Berger that.

- You promise to help him. - What can you do for the soldier?

Nothing at all.

- I was about to put them on top. - I already put a plate there.

Edith and Ane are giddy because they're going home soon.

- Dad? - A mine has been washed ashore.

- A mine? - It's stuck in the surf.

I need to tell the wreck master. May I borrow the phone?

- Yes, of course. - Thanks very much.

- I'll go down and take a look. - Is that wise?

I need to know where it is.

- It's right down there. - On our beach?

- The Germans aren't there. - He got hold of the wreck master.

- He'll call the deminers. - The guests can't go to the beach.

- Remember Svend Damm in the radio room. - I'd like to avoid him.

- Will you tell him, Edith? - Ane can.

- He's nuts about her. - I don't mind.

What?

- Well, if it isn't Miss Ane. - It is.

Come in, come in.

You're extremely pretty. Do you know that?

- I came to tell you... - I must paint you.

A nude.

A young version of the reclining Maja. Untouched -

- innocent, sensual.

- I came to tell you... - I have to finish this first!

A commission work for Mr. Weyse.

A mine was found on the beach, so you can't go down there.

Does that mean we can't plunge into the water together?

Yes.

- Dad, we can't go swimming. - Did you hear about the mine?

- Right. No, you can't boys. - We can go to the orchard.

- We don't want to. - You can show me the vegetable garden.

- Come on, Leander. - We'll go when we've changed.

It's a shame they can't go swimming on their last day.

There's a letter from Gyldendal Publishers.

- What do they say? - I haven't opened it yet.

If they want their advance back, I just don't know.

Now that we're paying for Svend's stay -

- while he paints my wife naked from memory...

- I told you he's never seen me naked. - Is he coming home with us too?

- He'll stay with a fellow party member. - I'll believe it when I see it.

You read it.

They hate it. I'm not ashamed of the person I am.

I'm an artist. I speak to all the people -

- and not just the regulars at the Royal Theatre.

Let Poul Reumert be recognised as he minces across the city square.

The whole country knows me from seeing my films.

If the editor can't see that, I'm finished.

- She does, Edward. - She does what?

She sees that. And looks forward to reading the rest.

"Your performances in the theatre and in films -

- will give the readers a thrill."

"We have great expectations of your ability -

- to make the personal universal." She wrote that!

She got a lot out of your foreword.

She writes that they'll increase the print run. I knew it, Helene!

I knew it from the moment I had the brilliant idea of including my films.

- Haven't you changed yet? - I was just talking to Dad.

- I'll change now. - Dad will come and see the potatoes.

I had hoped to go to the beach one more time -

- if you're not seeing the lecturer.

- What makes you say that? - I saw you yesterday.

- Swimming together. - Don't read too much into it.

We just happened to meet.

- Any news of the mine? - No, sadly.

But we got a call from the Skaw. It's your neighbour, Dr. Simonsen.

- Is he on the line? - No, he's been hospitalised.

- What happened? - It was a little accident.

He wanted to know if you could pick up his key and water his roses.

- You'll go home before he does. - Thank you, Otilia.

Emil H�yer is shameless! That's the second time he impersonates him.

Toft and Thomsen have found him, and now he's in hospital!

It's my fault. I told them he had the bag.

- What have they done to him? - It can't be too bad since he can talk.

- Perhaps he has no one else. - Mom, look at me.

He's been leading you by the nose all summer.

You finally got rid of the bag and of him.

There's no reason to drive to the Skaw just because he called.

You talk to me like I'm not very bright.

You can't believe I'll dance to his tune -

- when I haven't heard from him for two weeks.

- It's true. It's on our beach. - Did you go down there?

- I had to see it. - It's dangerous!

Relax, Therese. I stayed up in the dunes.

- Yes? Come in. - Thanks.

- I went to see the mine. - You've got guts!

- It was bloody huge! - I talked to the colonel.

He'll be here at 4 p.m. Do you want me to be at the meeting?

No, you're here with your wife. I'm only signing a contract.

- I hope you won't work with them again. - We've been over that.

- And we went over that last year. - The circumstances force your...

- Do you want them to execute Stefan? - Of course not.

This marriage is getting worse and worse.

Strindberg is quite depressing.

I just told Mr. Madsen that the colonel is coming.

Did you quit like you promised?

I'll do it when the contract is signed.

- What are you doing? - You don't have to do this sad play.

There's something I haven't told you. We're going to Germany.

Last summer, the colonel told me -

- that he knows people at UFA in Berlin. The film company.

I sent him a photo of you. He was very keen.

You're the perfect type of blond beauty that they need.

We can't let Zarah Leander get all the credit.

She isn't a blond. Is that why you advised Madsen to contact the colonel?

- You're showing your true colours. - I'm definitely not a Nazi.

- No. You're an opportunist. - Yes.

After the meeting, the colonel will come and say hello to you.

I was thinking that you could perform something.

Perform what? I can't just perform.

No. No, it was just an idea now that we're going for -

- the big money in Germany.

Yes?

I heard from the deminers.

I understand if you find the hat a bit odd.

Come in for a minute.

It's from my cousin in Norway. It just came.

"Dear Hjalmar, I hope the hat with the strong lining -

- can keep your clever head warm. Sincerely, Tore."

I don't why he'd send me this in the summer.

His mental state is worrisome.

- Nazism can do that to people. - It'll be useful in winter.

- On my many skiing trips? - I didn't know you skied.

I don't.

- It's lovely. - Perhaps I'll try it some day.

Since I have a hat.

- Have the deminers arrived? - They're on their way.

They'll stop in Tversted to disarm two mines that were washed ashore.

- Ready? - My mom is right next door.

- You are the strangest girl. - I'm sorry I'm not like all the others.

We went to the beach, but you were afraid your mother would find out.

- And she did. - Does it matter?

Three days ago we slept together, and the next day -

- you pretended not to know me. But last night you came to my room.

- I can't make you out. - Do you have to?

Did you talk to Morten? Did you ask if I could go with you to England?

I did, but I'm afraid not. They only train men in secret warfare.

That's typical! Yes?

Excuse me, but I saw the lecturer come in here.

- We're talking about the mine. - Yes. I have some good news.

- I talked to Harald. - Harald?

- The son. - She means Gorm the Old's son.

- Harald Bluetooth? - Yes. It was a beautiful s�ance.

He came the first time I called his name. Do you know what he said?

He thinks it's very sad that the peace of the dead isn't respected.

But luckily, they can dig to their heart's delight.

They won't find his father in the South Mound. He's somewhere else entirely.

- I shouldn't tell you. - Then don't, Mrs. Ploug.

He's under the church floor. The church in Jelling.

Harald moved him in there when he became a Christian.

I knew you'd be off talking nonsense, Lydia.

You're missing a lot by closing your mind to the spiritual world.

At least I don't have Harald Bluetooth hanging around.

You can laugh, but someday they'll find Gorm in the church.

Do any of you know when we can go to the beach again?

They're waiting for the deminers.

- Are they here? What do the guests say? - They want to go to the beach.

- Ditmar still isn't answering. - He's busy.

I've had a bad feeling since he threw Bruun out.

The man is a Nazi. I've met that type in Berlin.

- I know, Philip, but we're in Denmark. - Yes.

I hope you're right.

- Lieutenant. - Hello, Mrs. Berggren.

I wanted to make sure you were informed of the mine.

Yes, we are. The deminers are coming.

- Danish or German? - The Danes are in charge of this area.

- Then I won't disturb you anymore. - Do come in for a minute.

Could you close the door please?

The court-martial is today, and I think there will be good news.

My father contacted Colonel Fuchs.

The colonel said he could help.

I'm glad to hear it.

I'm sorry I took it out on you last time.

I was just shocked -

- that a death sentence was hanging over Stefan Berger.

I could tell that you were just as upset as my father and I were.

- I do apologize. - There's no need.

I'm glad that the matter has been cleared up -

- and can no longer come between us.

The deminers are on the beach with Ane's father.

- We have to evacuate the hotel. - Why?

If the mine explodes, everything will go up in smoke.

- Come on, Olga. Everyone has gone. - I'll come in my own good time.

- Amanda, where do you want us? - The others are up by the road.

- The maids are bringing chairs. - And lunch?

- It will be brought. - So we'll eat on a dusty road.

- We found a glade in the forest. - A picnic in the open air.

If the hotel is hit, what about our baggage?

It's much worse for Amanda and the poor men working on the mine!

I know, but I'm asking, since we've been told -

- we can't take anything with us. I've had that suitcase for 35 years.

- Everyone can come back now. - Did it explode?

It's gone. It was taken out to sea again.

The current took it. Don't celebrate prematurely.

If the wind shifts, it can come back.

Then let's hope it lands near the Germans' hotel.

- Is it gone? - All the guests were by the road.

- I'll get your lunch. - No, I have to go back.

- I promised to watch out for it. - Then I'll say goodbye.

I'll be back before you leave.

The deminers said that 40 mines were washed ashore along the coast -

- in the last 24 hours.

I don't know where they all come from. Do you?

Yes, I know a bit.

The Germans put cannons on both sides of the Skagerrak to stop ships.

The cannons can't cover a certain area, so they lay a floating barrage.

In bad weather, the mines wash ashore.

Is that what you've been working on here?

The British would want to know. And what's at Hotel View.

That damned radar. I don't know what they can do now.

Sometimes I wonder what the point is. The Germans are always one step ahead.

Everything they touch is successful, and here I am far from my family.

- I'm sorry, Molly. - Luckily, you'll see them very soon.

I just want you to know how glad I've been to see you.

I don't know if it's any use.

Sometimes we do something without thinking whether it's useful -

- but because it has to be done.

And that's what you're like, Morten.

- Do you know where my mother is? - Driver Larsen just picked her up.

- She's going to the hospital. - Are you kidding?

Is something wrong?

It looks worse than it is, Alice.

- Was it them? Toft and Thomsen? - But they didn't get the bag.

Someone came along, so I was saved.

Saved? Look at you!

The doctor couldn't understand how I could break all my fingers -

- by falling down the stairs at a hotel.

- Shall I get the nurse? - No. I'm fine.

I'm so glad to see you, Alice.

Could you do me a favour?

- Yes. Straighten your pillow? - Can you get the bag for me?

- No, I can't! - It's in an unfortunate place.

Do you know where the Lever Light is? I hid it there.

- No. No, no. - I want you to have your money.

- I'm not interested. - I'll sell them to Hasselstr�m.

- He's in a cigar store in Aalborg. - You won't get out of town.

They'll lie in wait for you and break more fingers.

This has to stop now. Right now.

Svend?

Svend?

We can go to the beach now. Would you like to come?

They put them in prison, Helene. My fellow party members!

The little chief of section told me they were moved to Horser�d Prison.

And what am I doing?

Stuffing myself with the decadent abundance of the bourgeois.

Three courses and vintage wine among counts and merchants.

And being waited on by delightful maids.

The only thing I can think about is painting them in the nude -

- while my comrades... Helene, my comrades!

They get bread and water in a concentration camp.

What kind of person am I? I should be there for them!

Fight their fight! Share their fate!

Why doesn't he turn himself in if that's the way he feels?

- He does this once in a while. - You should know.

He's calmed down. Now change. The boys are waiting.

No, I have to find a new title.

I can't call it 'Born for the theatre'. The title is important.

Yes, just like the foreword, which you already wrote.

Time for a swim.

- Are you angry? - It's my mother.

Forget it. I don't feel like swimming. Maybe later.

That won't do. Morten and I are sailing to Sweden tonight.

- Ane just told me. - Have a good trip.

- I could stay in Denmark. - Why would you?

- Since you can't come. - Your staying here won't change that.

Why can only men fight the Nazis? Men, men, men! I'm sick of it!

For a moment I thought you wanted to go, so we could be together.

I'm going swimming.

That's the closest I've come to proposing.

- Goodness. - Mrs. Berggren wants to spoil everyone.

- It's because of the evacuation. - Thank her for me.

Something has been on my mind. May I see your cousin's letter again?

Yes.

I had an idea. His last letter was censored.

Perhaps he found another way to send a message. May I?

Yes.

He wrote that he hoped the strong lining would keep your clever head warm.

Listen to it, Mr. Aurland.

I think you're right.

- Shall I do it? - That would be best.

I think you're the one who has a clever head, Miss Otilia.

- What does it say? - It's much worse than we thought.

All Norwegian children are forced to become members of the Hitler Youth.

Syllabi must be approved by the party.

The teachers who refuse are either beaten, literally beaten, or imprisoned.

Miss Otilia, now the same rules apply up there as in Germany.

Turn the children into Nazis, and you have your future soldiers.

Hopefully that won't happen in Danish schools.

No, we'll get off more easily as usual.

We chose to cooperate.

With things the way they are in Norway, perhaps cooperation is best.

Perhaps. But how long can we look at ourselves in the mirror -

- and let others do the fighting for us?

- Hello? - You're there! I've been calling.

- We're harvesting. It's going well. - Have you heard from Bruun?

Not a word. The snake slithered back in its burrow.

And your mother?

She called, but I didn't have time. Rain is forecast for Wednesday.

I have to go. But I'll come and get you.

- You don't have to do that. - Yes, it's time you moved in.

I can teach you manners.

- Yes? - May I have a word?

Can't you see that I'm working?

Earlier, I asked you if you knew an escaped communist.

You denied it as well as the fact -

- that the person resided in your flat.

Of course I did. It's not true.

It turns out that this person has turned himself in.

- And he's sitting in the police car. - Turned himself in?

- I have no idea who it is. - He's your colleague at the theatre.

Mr. Svend Damm, scene painter and guest at the hotel.

Oh, Svend? Does he think he's a communist? Really!

He says that he has stayed in your flat for the past month -

- with your knowledge. Hiding a fugitive is a serious offense.

I quite agree, Mr. Folmersen.

- Folmer Gregersen. - Pardon me.

Svend Damm is a distant colleague -

- whose politics I know nothing about.

He suddenly turned up here.

Probably because he heard me talk about it.

His motive for saying that I'm involved -

- in his hide-and-seek with the authorities... Well... no...

Or yes.

If you knew how much jealousy there is in the theatre world...

That's why I'm going to write in my memoirs -

- about my films.

Really? Many of us, very many of us look forward to reading it.

I couldn't imagine that you had anything to do with it. Between you and me -

- this Svend Damm seems mentally unbalanced.

We managed to get him out without disturbing the other guests.

Excellent! Excellent! What time is it?

Is it that the time? I can just manage a few pages -

- before dinner.

Colonel Fuchs has arrived.

Without Madsen hearing it, I managed to whisper to him -

- that we have a meeting.

- I'm ready. - Yes!

- I can see that. - Come and have a seat, August.

You play the colonel.

- Ready? - Yes.

Komm zur�ck

Ich warte auf Dich

Denn Du bist f�r mich

All mein Gl�ck

Komm zur�ck

Ruft mein Herz immerzu

nun erf�lle Du

mein Geschick

Ist der Weg auch weit

f�hrt er Dich und auch mich in die Seligkeit

Darum bitt' ich Dich heut

Komm zur�ck

I take back what I said about Zarah Leander.

There is no competition. She'll be sent right back to Scania.

She won't like that. She's from V�rmland.

If I may mention a detail -

- then I don't think you need to sit on his lap.

I only did that for your sake, darling.

As soon as you sign the contract, you'll get the building materials.

He says you'll get the materials when the contract is signed.

I'm glad we're working together.

There will be much more work when we move people east.

Fortification of the beach. That's all I can say.

The colonel says there'll be more work.

I don't know if we have time. The company is busy.

Mr. Madsen is busy.

What about Stefan Berger? Did he talk to the court?

Mr. Madsen asks if you have spoken to the court about Stefan Berger.

Yes, of course. No need to worry about that.

- No need to worry. - Will he get off scot-free?

- Free? Yes, I'm happy to say. - Thank you.

- Do you have the papers, Mrs. Knudsen? - Yes, colonel.

Andersen's Seaside Hotel.

The court-martial has convened here in the Skaw.

Stefan Berger was brought in. I talked to the judge.

I'm sorry, but what you've been promised has not happened.

What do you mean?

Dad!

This is my daughter Amanda. She runs the hotel.

- This is Mr. Madsen's daughter. - A pleasure, madam.

I just talked to Lieutenant Kiessling. The court-martial has convened.

- No one has heard from the colonel. - What?

Lieutenant Kiessling says you haven't spoken to the court.

You must understand that whatever I could have said -

- couldn't have helped. A case like that can only have one outcome.

- The case could only end one way. - Christ! He promised to prevent it!

The court-martial is an independent body. I can't interfere.

It's a pity -

- but soldiers who leave their post know it's a capital offense.

It's a formality. The sentence has probably been passed.

But don't let it get in the way of our beneficial cooperation.

- He says... - I don't give a shit! I got it.

You gave me your word as a German officer.

This is what it's worth.

That's the difference between Danes and Germans.

The Danes want to cooperate and then they don't.

It's a national weakness. The eternal Danish fickleness.

Take care, Mr. Madsen. And you, madam.

- Did the colonel leave? - Yes.

We can forget about the whole thing.

Madsen ripped up the contract. The colonel can't help us in Copenhagen.

We won't work in Hanstholm, and our project in Germany -

- has vanished into thin air.

That's that then. What was the point of going there in wartime?

We have our work in Sweden. Have you told Madsen you quit?

- How can I? - You did your bit. He's on his own.

- We can't get by without Madsen! - I have my performances.

- We can't live on that. - You said so.

No, I haven't. You haven't listened.

I'm going to Stockholm. You've given me inspiration for 'The Dance of Death'.

My dear little Alma. We'll figure it out.

How could I know Madsen would go all soft -

- over the death of some soldier?

- The colonel said it's been done. - Has he been executed?

I don't know, but he's been sentenced.

He was one of the soldiers who came for hot chocolate.

- Really? Which one? - The one who sang so beautifully.

Him? He was the nicest of them all.

Yes.

You're a good person. Thank you.

The Molins are leaving. Did you say goodbye?

They popped in.

- You did everything you could. - But it wasn't much.

At least you're not working for them anymore.

And I never will.

- Why don't we go swimming? - No, I don't feel like it, Therese.

Yes. Come on.

Let's get some air. It'll do both of us good.

- Driver Larsen picked up the Molins. - Did he bring Mrs. Frigh back?

No, you have a point. She left long ago.

- Are we acquainted? - No, Mr. Hasselstr�m.

We have a mutual acquaintance. Emil H�yer.

Emil H�yer? No, I don't think so.

He sold you some rationing coupons, for which you paid 5,000 kroner.

I'd like to know if you're interested in the rest of your stolen goods.

- I didn't catch your name. - It doesn't matter.

- Are you interested? - Maybe. Do you have them?

Maybe.

If I were interested, how much would you charge?

Not a krone.

I'll even tell you who stole the coupons from you.

- Two boorish men. Toft and Thomsen. - Toft and Thomsen?

- Where are they? - Yesterday they were in the Skaw.

When Emil wouldn't divulge where the coupons were, they broke his fingers.

Not very nice.

I'll give you the bag if you make sure -

- they never go near Emil again.

I think that could be arranged.

Thank you.

The bag is in the baggage room at the station.

- It was lovely to meet you. - And lovely to smell foreign tobacco.

- This was grown in Denmark. - I know about tobacco. It wasn't.

Yes, it was, little lady. In the fields outside Aalborg.

Would you like one?

- How much does it cost? - 60 �re.

- Can you buy a Danish cigar for that? - War stimulates enterprise.

'Memories from the stage and film'. No, that's too boring.

'Triumphs from the stage and film'. No, that's too...

How can I express that I have loved both?

I've got it!

- 'I have loved it all'. - Pardon?

It's my new title. What can I do for you?

- The time is now 5:40 p.m.... - Thank you, but I found my watch.

Very kind. Thanks.

My colleagues in Copenhagen borrowed a key to your flat.

There is clear evidence of Svend Damm's presence.

Don't deny it! He painted the walls.

It's 5:40 p.m. and you're under arrest.

- Arrested? - The police took him.

The constable arrested Svend Damm earlier. He called them himself.

- Why did they take Edward? - The constable suddenly came back.

Mr. Weyse yelled, but there were three of them.

- They said he was a columnist. - Communist.

- It's insane. Is Hjalmar in his room? - I think so.

- Did you hear about Edward? - I couldn't avoid it.

He was very noisy when they dragged him away.

I'll go to the Skaw. Watch the boys.

- I haven't told them. Make an excuse. - Shut the door.

I must tell them Edward had nothing to do with it.

The boys have missed you. It's no good if both their parents are in prison.

Will they send him there? They can't.

Anyone suspicious can be detained without being arraigned.

He'll never survive.

Earlier, we talked about the Germans at Hotel View.

Edward insisted that if we didn't talk about them, they didn't exist.

Spare me your moralising.

I'm sorry. I'll call my minister and see if he can help.

Please tell him that Edward is apolitical. You know him.

Yes. He's only interested in himself.

What was that, Mom?

- It must be the mine. - Is it back?

- It was washed ashore again. - By Hotel View.

- The Germans made us leave. - Hotel View, Olga.

You wanted it to wash ashore where they were.

Don't claim it's supernatural.

It's about science and currents.

They deserve it anyway!

Hotel View is on fire. Mrs. Berggren went to take a look.

Mr. Villumsen isn't here. Do you know where he is?

He left half an hour ago to meet Morten at my dad's.

- They're leaving soon. - How did it look?

- Everything is burning. - And the radar? The big installation.

- It fell apart. - It's broken?

- Completely. - My goodness!

- Hello? - Bertha.

Hotel View is burning. The radar is destroyed.

- Are Morten and Claus here? - No, they left.

They took the bus. It's too bad they didn't hear the news.

If you call Arne Kokholm, he can pass on the message.

Perhaps there was something else you wanted to tell one of them.

Perhaps.

Then it's too bad he can't hear it.

It's typical of me. I'm not good at saying things before it's too late.

COPENHAGEN Two days later

I'll tell Leslie about the Danish cigars. They might solve our problem.

- Your criminal ties were useful. - Are you still angry about Emil?

- I had to get the matter settled. - I hope it is.

- And that you're finished with him. - I assure you that I am.

- Where are my books? - In your old room.

I haven't touched them.

Hi, Alice. I was so glad that you suggested I drop by.

- When did I suggest that? - When you called.

- Perhaps I did it, but you said yes. - Did I?

Yes. And thanks for dealing with Hasselstr�m.

I haven't seen Toft and Thomsen. But it's a shame you didn't get your money.

I'll manage. You have to leave now.

Bertha is picking something up and mustn't see you.

- Is she staying for long? - For long?

Yes.

- She's coming. - I'll wait in the garden.

- Who was that? - What?

- Who was at the door? - It was just...

Dr. Simonsen. He wanted to welcome me back.

- Perhaps he does have a crush on you. - Nonsense.

- Well, I won't keep you. - Aren't we having dinner together?

Could we do it some other day? I'm so tired after our journey.

I'd like to take a nap.

- Sleep well. - Thanks. Say hello to Mrs. Ploug.

Tell me, Edward.

Tell me.

- There's isn't much to tell. - Did they just let you go?

It was awful. Terrible. You have no idea.

Bunk beds with straw mattresses from the Great War.

Four men in one cell. Two of them didn't know who I was.

- Were you the only one released? - Yes, the others are communists.

- Did you see Svend? - No, he was in another hut.

He left a letter at the hotel apologising for ruining my vacation.

What about mine? I was alone all summer with the boys.

I was arrested and accused of being political.

My God! What if the papers find out -

- that I was in a communist camp?

Will my book sell at all? Will my hard work be wasted?

It'd be a pity if your foreword was useless.

Last year you were afraid -

- that people thought you were pro-Nazi. I imagine you'll live this down too.

Mr. Weyse is home and in one piece. Mrs. Weyse called.

All summer I was afraid our guests would leave early.

- Not that they'd be imprisoned. - It all worked out.

And it will next year as well. And now the Germans are gone.

They'll have to execute their soldiers somewhere else.

- Come home with us. - Please, Amanda.

- Don't stay here all alone. - I need to close the place up.

And do the accounts. Do lots of things.

Now off you go. You can't hang around here.

See you.

I'll call you when we get home.

Philip, now what did you forget?

I took the liberty of coming up. There was no one downstairs.

No, everyone has left. Come in, lieutenant.

Please excuse that my clothes are in disarray. It's hot out.

Let me take your jacket.

- I'd like coffee. Can I offer you some? - No thank you.

- Have you been to the hotel today? - Not today, but I know it's a ruin.

The platoon is billeted in the Skaw for now.

I hope that doesn't mean they'll be billeted here.

I've heard nothing about that.

I'm here to tell you about Stefan Berger.

He was sentenced to death two days ago.

- I don't want to hear more. - I requested that he be pardoned.

I asked the court whether we're to kill our own soldiers -

- when we're short of them on the Eastern Front. The case went to Berlin.

Today the reply came. Stefan Berger was pardoned.

He'll be sent to the front.

But he's saved!

My father will be so pleased.

- And so are you hopefully. - Yes, yes, of course.

- We won't see each other for a while. - What do you mean?

Berlin's condition was that I go with him.

It was appropriate, since soldiers are needed.

- You're leaving? - Stefan Berger and I are.

We have a lot in common.

We're in love with women we cannot have.

- Lieutenant... - I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I said that. I didn't mean to.

I've made an effort all summer -

- to behave properly towards you.

Yes, you have.

I have got to know a very different side you.

I wish you could stay and that there wasn't a war.

You cannot leave just yet.

Are you sure this is wise?

There is no such thing as wise anymore.
