Original subtitles

This movie is inspired by historical events.

But as in Shakespeare's plays, History is only a pretext, a background

which doesn't claim to be realistic.

My characters are imaginary. They never existed as you'll see them.

To tell of Vice and Virtue

I needed a period where passions had reached their paroxysm.

That is why I chose to use the years 1944-45 as background.

Roger Vadim.

Vice and Virtue

"Everything's All Right"

Jean.

Jean!

Careful! He's looking at us.

I don't mind.

You don't care about your future? You're wrong.

I have no future. Tomorrow I'm leaving for the Eastern Front.

Think of my future then.

- Ivan Strauss? - He's 3 against 1.

Put 500 on him. I'll give them to you.

Kiss me. You'll bring me luck.

Seen this?

American nylon that came through Spain.

Black market? With whose money?

- Von Bamberg. - What?

The general gives you presents now?

No. I bought them for his French mistress.

Come on, Ivan!

Bravo, Ivan, come on !

Come on!

Come on, Ivan! Bravo!

Sing, Kastorp! Sing!

An officer's first quality is to have a big mouth

Sing, lieutenant Kastorp!

It's an order.

He doesn't feel like singing.

These young men don't know

that it's by losing battles that you win the war.

Water in my champagne!

It's a vice I didn't know you had.

Some champagne into the water!

It's much spicier.

Kaplan is sorry not to know any French women.

He must dive, he'll find pearls.

Here's what he said to our special correspondent in Stockholm

The French coastline of the Channel has been transformed thoroughly

An underground city made of concrete and iron was built

over tens of kilometers, impregnable blockhouses and forts...

Like Stalingrad!

When the war is over, I'll buy you a chalet in Bavaria.

Without even a radio. We'll be happy.

Unless by then,

we're dead, buried under the ruins of Paris.

Unless, by then, you die from a bullet in the head.

In the criminal air raid on Cologne on April 20th

the Allies suffered heavy losses.

160 American bombers were destroyed.

You're trembling now that Himmler's eye is staring at you.

Himmler's eye?

Right in front of you.

This is Truppenführer Streicher,

spiritual adviser of Oberstrumführer Schondorf.

Schondorf?

I thought he was in Germany.

If Streicher is here?

Why is he in Paris?

I'm not interested in their dealings.

No one at Headquarters was told?

No, I would know.

Heil Hitler!

Heinrich has an advantage over me. He can swim.

He has an advantage over you: he is not jealous.

Who would think of being jealous of you, Juliette?

Who has me followed when I go out?

You've been followed? For how long?

A couple of days. My house is being watched too.

- Your house is being watched? - I'm not blind.

I don't think you're the one being watched.

10 000 marks on Ivan!

He's at 10 to 1

I persist!

- What rigmarole! - King Bamberg's court!

Play!

To the victories of the German Army!

Oberstrumführer Schorndorf is in Paris?

I wish I was able to answer, sir.

Professor Naujocks could probably do it.

The future doesn't hold any secrets for him.

I try to find meaning in astral conjunctions.

I'm no clairvoyant.

Better in politics than in astrology, right?

I attach importance to my modest research.

My sky map is appreciated.

You predicted a German victory to the Führer last spring.

Victory depends on generals too.

One

Two

One, two

three

four.

Did the sky tell you that Ivan would beat Frick?

No, I have no invitation. I want to see Juliette Morand.

- I'm her sister. - Wait!

Let me go over!

But Juliette is my sister. Let me go over.

She is my sister!

Justine, what are you doing here?

Since noon, I've been looking everywhere for you.

- I've asked... - What are you dressed up as?

I'll explain. They just arrested Jean.

- Jean? - My fiancé.

- They took him away. - I didn't know you were engaged.

I'm even married. City Hall only.

The Gestapo came when we were going into the church.

And then?

You can save him.

- Your friend... - What friend?

Your German. Your general.

He can do something.

This is no joking matter.

- You're very funny. - But they'll torture him.

They might be torturing him already.

Streicher...

There is no need to shout.

Come on!

Now explain it more clearly.

- How long have you been engaged? - Two years.

- Why didn't you tell me? - Mum forbids me to see you.

This isn't the time to talk about this.

You must help me.

Do you love him?

- He is your lover? - I waited until we were married.

I beg you, Juliette.

What does your half-husband do?

He is in the Resistance, like everyone.

I don't know the details.

I'm sure you can save him.

May I sum up the situation?

Two sisters, Justine and Juliette, once cherished each other

- We liked each other when we were kids. - We did.

And Juliette went astray.

First, she slept with the butcher.

Which allowed her family to eat steak without ration tickets.

She left the retailer for the wholesaler,

then to the German Army.

In one year she went up from sub-lieutenant to general.

- What a whore! - I never insulted you.

In the meantime, Justine safely stayed tied to her mother's apron string.

Listening to the English radio with a young patriot.

Accident: the chaste hero, who probably talks too much, is arrested.

Then Justine rushes to Juliette's.

"Ask your German to save my Jean."

- You think this is fair? - Yes, I love my sister.

If my Fritz finds my pleading for a terrorist strange,

it might rebound on me.

You think that's fair?

You've got everything when we're all starving. You can take risks.

No, I'm not like those who queue up in the street for a piece of cheese.

Wooden soles and good intentions go together.

I'd rather go in a Mercedes.

Some are for the Germans,

others for the Russians or for the English.

I've always been for myself.

I still am. I'm loyal to myself.

Please, don't try to look worse than you are.

You know what I am. I'm a whore, my dear Justine.

And it's not as easy as you think.

Will you try to save Jean?

Answer me!

Answer me!

Answer me!

Answer me!

Juliette, you're a monster.

You're a monster.

A monster!

You're a monster!

A monster! You're a monster!

A monster!

A monster! You're a monster!

Who was it?

My sister.

She's just received her First Holy Communion?

Why didn't you introduce her to me?

I don't dislike ingénues.

She doesn't like Germans.

So much the better.

The French who come to see me love Germans.

They always have a favor to ask for.

Bravo!

Hello, hello. Justine?

Is it you?

Careful! They're probably listening.

I've just left the hospital. It's a miracle: I'm free.

It wasn't too bad?

No, darling. I'm all right.

I can't go home.

I must go to the country. Get it?

My love! My love!

Wait for me.

We'll meet again soon.

Very soon, I know.

My darling! My wife!

Thank you, Lord.

- You're expecting someone? - No.

Well, neither am I.

I don't know who it might be.

Open the door!

Whom are you looking for?

General Van Bamberg.

Come in!

Strange way to greet a friend.

I'm expecting no one. And no one knows I'm here.

You seem worried, general. Like a child caught red handed.

With you, one is never too careful.

How long have you been in Paris?

- You forgot to introduce me. - Sorry.

- Oberstrumführer Erik Schondorf. - Schondorf?

You've heard about me?

Not exactly. I've heard your name.

Miss Juliette Morand.

Pleased to meet you.

I don't remember ever inviting you, Schondorf.

- What do you want? - Come on, Bamberg,

we're not on dueling ground.

May I?

Excuse me.

Champagne! You have the reputation of drinking only water.

I pitied you. What's going on, oberstrumführer?

Are you afraid of being caught out?

Exceptionally, when with friends, I like alcohol too.

Go open the door.

Thank you, Juliette.

- What are you doing here? - Jean has just phoned.

He is all right. He is free.

Forgive me. I said terrible things yesterday at the swimming pool.

I was half mad. I even wished you dead.

- Forgive me, Juliette. - Be quiet.

- I must thank your general. - Don't. Go home.

It's our little ingénue.

- She must go to her mother's. - She can spare five minutes.

Come on up, my child.

Our soirée could use a little freshening.

Come on up!

Juliette's sister.

I see that you've changed out of that virginal tunic.

It was my wedding dress.

What an idea, coming to the Army Headquarters swimming pool like that!

You know it was not my fault.

When they arrested him at the church, I could only think of one thing:

finding my sister.

I didn't change clothes, I looked for her everywhere.

I was so frightened.

Thank goodness you...

Thank you!

- What is she talking about? - A family affair.

So your fiancé...

- or your husband...? - My husband.

So your husband was a thief.

No. He fights for his country as you fight for yours.

I'm sorry.

Fortunately for you, General Von Bamberg

has the magnanimity of the soldiers of old times.

He helped him out.

You must be very grateful.

I am!

- What have you made up this time? - I swear I don't understand.

She spent her wedding night crying and cursing the Germans.

Wife and virgin.

For a French woman, it's intriguing.

- Justine is virtue. - And Juliette?

It's vice. What about Schondorf?

Schondorf? Half-breed of a spider and an octopus.

Only comes out of its hole to strike.

I don't understand, Bamberg. I came here as a friend.

Open-handed. Swallow up your venom.

I learnt that you were to see Goering in Berlin in a few days.

It would be damaging for you and for him

were it known that you spent your evenings with the wife of a French terrorist.

Let's forget about this!

That will show you that my friendship is real.

You give nothing for free.

What do you demand in exchange for your loss of memory?

Nothing.

I came here to talk to you.

Perhaps we do pursue the same goal by different means.

Too late! The die is cast!

He's rather ugly, fat, not very considerate

but he had one quality.

Courage?

Yes. Tonight, for the first time, he is frightened.

I'm hungry.

Won't you dine with us, colonel?

Thank you.

Tell me...

Which of my aide-de-camps tells you about my travels?

When Marshall Goering sends his own plane to get one of his friends,

I'm told about it simultaneously by several of my services.

Wing or thigh?

Intelligence Agencies are positive. Schondorf is in Paris.

Perhaps should we tell von Bamberg.

You're overreacting.

Bamberg in in a political situation which is not common but

he is too well connected,

he's got too many friends

to be in real danger.

Schondorf is Himmler's man.

He can't be arrested or shot in the middle of the street.

They have more subtle ways. Remember General Von Glück's death.

Schondorf was holding the gun when he killed himself.

- You want me to believe... - I know it.

- Where is the General spending the night? - At his French girl's.

You can rest easy. You're the only one who knows the address.

The General shows his mistress off but hides to have sex with her.

His way of being a traditionalist.

You're playing a dangerous game.

When he's been drinking, he remains coherent but may be mean.

"In a merry little brook there shot by in merry haste

"a capricious trout: past it shot like an arrow...

To your artistic talent, General.

The joke is over!

Now you're going to tell me why you came.

Have a good look at him.

You will probably never see him again.

He and his people only act in the night.

Is he their leader?

Some say he is. I don't know.

He probably doesn't know himself.

In his world, every puppet

thinks it is pulling the strings.

But there might not be anyone pulling the strings.

Himmler may only be one of their servants.

Hitler is probably only their big drum.

In Munich, when Hitler was addressing the crowd,

Schondorf could always be seen behind him, in the shadows.

You know how to make your drum sound, you do.

You're flattering me, General.

They meet in a castle, protected like a fortress.

Somewhere in Austria.

Be accurate. In Tyrol.

They've given this ominous place a name: the...

the... the...

The Commandery.

They send young women from every country in Europe there.

They've trained a special group of S.S. whose work is to select them.

They use them for their pleasure.

But it's probably only a front.

If they were only perverts, I'd lock them inside their brothel.

But they believe they can prove to themselves that they're supermen.

They're methodically preparing the destruction of mankind.

I'd take you down, Schondorf, if I knew...

how to rid the world of your kind.

But who is he truly? The hand or the tool?

They've contaminated the whole world.

Champagne makes you romanticize things.

To think I came with the hope of making a deal.

An officer of the old German army makes no deal.

No, thank you.

Afraid of losing your temper?

To be on par with you, I need something stronger.

Vodka?

- Cognac? - Cognac.

Play some more. I'd like the colonel to make me dance.

Can't you dance, Schondorf?

He's forgotten his glass.

Your eyes have become hard, angel.

I can't breathe! I can't breathe!

I can't breathe.

I can't breathe.

- What are you doing? - I'm calling a doctor.

Let him sleep off his champagne.

Drunkards disgust me.

- He's dead. - I know.

When carrying out the autopsy of a heavy smoker

it is quite normal to find nicotine in his viscera.

But it would be annoying for you to find some in the glass you gave him.

Especially as a concentrated extract which causes a sudden heart failure.

Now, you're blameless.

The General died of a heart failure in the middle of the night

at his French mistress's place.

You'll be asked many questions, of course.

But you spent the evening with us, colonel.

- You're not losing your cool. - I never do.

But you've made a mistake.

I've never been here.

And no one, no one at all, can say otherwise.

- My sister saw you. - Virtue?

That doesn't worry me.

No!

I'll be gone before anyone gets here.

I'll shout out of the window.

Not while I'm here.

After, it will be curfew time.

And my car is around the corner.

So?

As soon as I've left, you'll tidy up.

And don't forget:

the General spent the evening alone with you.

Then you'll phone Army Headquarters.

You're in a panic, he has passed out.

An Army doctor will come.

At dawn, you'll be arrested by my men.

And I shall question you.

Fingerprints don't show on skin or on fabric.

Von Bamberg had betrayed the Führer.

With a group of generals,

he was negotiating peace with the English and the Americans.

You know about it and you'll tell me everything.

As a matter of fact, your statement is already written.

What then?

Afterwards, I'll set you free. The mission will be over.

We had to get rid quietly of a disloyal general.

The Von Bamberg trial is over, the sentence is enforced.

I'm a witness. It might be dangerous for me.

Don't you worry that I'll talk?

Come on, Juliette,

what's a French harlot's word worth against that of a S.S. Colonel?

I'll break you!

One body in your bed is not enough?

I didn't want to kill you.

I only wanted to make you stay long enough for me to phone

- and make them come. - You wanted revenge?

You cared for him?

It's not about him.

But evidence of your being here

seems to me a better guarantee than all your promises.

You know what you want.

Did that teach you a lesson?

You'll do as I said.

See you later, Juliette.

Don't go up there!

Captain Castorp's waiting for me. I'm late already.

Captain Castorp?

- What? - Come!

Quiet, Olaf!

- Tell me. - When I went up,

Colonel Schondorf was in the General's office with two S.S.

The safe was open and all the papers were scattered on the ground.

Lieutenant Hoech who is so organized!

Lieutenant Hoech? No.

He is a traitor. He was arrested.

But... you're not asking me why I went up.

- You were summoned? - No, I'm in on it.

- You? I'm off! - Wait!

I'm on the right side. You know me...

I serve.

Ivan Strauss,

a member of the hitlerian youth since 1929.

I saw your file. I'll take you in my staff.

Be quiet!

A specialist in dog training.

My father worked in Munich's biggest kennel.

Drive me to the Gestapo's first section.

Did you tell anyone about your call at your sister's last night?

No.

I only could have told my husband.

But I didn't see him.

This morning, I was still in bed when they came.

But why? Why? Why? Why?

- I don't understand. - You don't need to.

- Will you keep me? - Yes.

I'll go to jail?

I have other plans for you.

Take off your coat.

- Hoech? - He's here.

Take him to the questioning room.

Your statement.

You only need to sign it.

No need for me to read it, I guess.

I hope I haven't signed my death sentence.

Death! Always death!

Killing is so easy.

I hope I'll find a more elegant solution for you.

- It's Hoech? - It is.

I thought that Bamberg being dead, your mission was over.

I need more information.

I know Hoech. He won't speak.

He is most certainly very courageous.

But courage has limits.

I've often had fun gauging them.

I could also make diagrams according to age, origin

hair color too.

Even freckles have an influence on the behavior of a man who's questioned.

But we'll have plenty of time to talk about it.

The spectacle of pain racks the nerves more violently than pleasure.

- You succeeded? - I always do.

Hans... We must change our plans.

Hoech's revelations are of the utmost importance.

They're unhoped for.

I'm leaving for Berlin.

Von Lubbe is heading the conspiracy.

Go to the "Commandery" without me.

Wait for my instructions.

Contact every two days. Usual time.

Let's go!

Take her back inside.

Captain Streicher will have fun tonight.

He's right. If I were in his place, I'd do the same.

Ask him if you can replace him.

You're crazy! I don't want to be transferred to the Russian front.

On the contrary, you'd do him a favor.

Streicher hit a mine with his tank at the beginning of the war

Since then, women are safe with him.

What will he do with the girl?

Mr. Jean!

Justine isn't back? You've heard nothing?

Poor girl! No news at all!

Some schnapps?

It will warm you up.

What will they do to us?

It's easy to guess.

If you know, tell me please.

I think that we'll be shot.

It's not true!

I've taken risks. I knew. I say too bad!

I haven't done anything. I was arrested in the street with my father.

- Why? - They were arresting everybody.

All those passing by. A German had just been killed.

Don't worry. If they wanted to shoot you, they'd already have done so.

Maybe.

Unless they have another idea.

- What idea? - Ask him!

I wouldn't dare.

Where are you taking us?

Don't worry. From now on, you'll live the good life.

What do you mean, the "good life"?

Great honor, for each of you.

Olaf, don't.

Get down!

Faster!

Follow me!

You're hungry, aren't you?

See you later.

Come on, Olaf!

- I was looking for you. - For me?

You're 112, aren't you?

My name is Helena.

But be very careful, in front of the wardens and the people here,

we must only use our numbers. I'm number 88.

You, 112, me, 88.

Don't forget!

- Is this a prison? - Sort of, as we can't leave.

After a medical check-up, they combed my hair, made up my eyes

They want your hair and eyes perfect every hour of every day.

But why?

You know, life is almost pleasant. The food is good.

You like good food?

Are we allowed to walk in the park?

Until evening roll-call, if we have no task to do.

- I've been locked up for six months. - Go on!

I want to touch some grass.

Who lives here?

Nazi hotshots.

What do they do?

They talk, they dictate, they write reports.

Seems that it's very important.

- What do they want from us? - That we obey.

- Like in prison? - Obeying in not enough.

- We must feel pleasure too. - What if I won't?

Then you'll be tried. Trials are what they like best.

They sentence to all sorts of punishments. The worst is being discharged.

- What do they do with discharged girls? - We don't know.

They take them to a special room and they're never seen again.

They may send them to work camps.

On the discharge nights, we hear screams.

What happens to those who're discharged, Ivan?

I don't want to know.

I can't believe that you don't know.

I don't want to know. My job here is with the dogs.

I suits you not to know.

The dogs obey me. I obey the Mistress

who obeys Colonel Schondorf who obeys Himmler who obeys the Führer.

I know nothing else.

Ivan, you brute, you step on my flowers.

We're here for their pleasure.

Never!

You don't have the choice.

Never!

I won't be able to.

You'll get one official warning, then another one, then discharge.

- I'd rather that. - It would be too easy.

When a girl is warned, we're all punished.

- No one has ever escaped? - It has happened once.

The next day, her dead body was across the driveway.

What the dogs had left of it.

A collective warning was given.

One on each account.

So now we watch each other.

The river?

There's a soldier every 50 meters on the other side.

Besides, you couldn't swim across, because of the currents.

Roll-call, come on!

The evening is when warnings are given.

Danielle! Come, what are you doing.

I'm sick. I've got a temperature.

Come on, we'll be late.

I don't care! They can do what they want.

I do care. Come on!

I just got Berlin.

Ludwig!

Give me the green file.

Baron Teldman...

Von Lubbe didn't lie, it matches.

Hans did good work.

Ludwig has the combination to your safe. Isn't it risky?

I made him come back from the Eastern Front.

He is loyal to me until death.

I took him out of hell.

If you want him to be at your service...

Thank you. - Thank you for what?

To think of my pleasure.

You must never say thank you.

Remember the caresses the others can give you are of no importance to me.

Doing it I pleasure myself.

You need that proof? Does it mean that you love me?

For six months.

For six months, you've been my mistress and I'm not bored yet.

It had never happened before.

It's probably what people call love.

Leave that language for magazines and the others.

I'm not fooled, Schondorf.

I'm not as cruel as you are.

But maybe I'm as strong.

That's what attracts you.

You see yourself in me.

I'm your mirror, that's all.

You really like Ludwig?

Yes.

You should have some builders brought back from the Front.

And a mirror maker.

84.

It's your ninth warning.

Madame...

112!

Come on, that's you.

Go on!

You were ordered, on your arrival, not to keep any belongings.

I gave up everything.

What about that?

We shall be merciful enough tonight to forgive you.

It will be the last time. You won't be warned.

I'd like to get ten of them.

What did you say? I couldn't hear well.

Thank you, Madame.

Thank you, Madame.

Thank you, Madame.

I wanted to be lenient tonight with the new girls, I was wrong.

113, you're warned.

I've done nothing wrong.

You were late for roll call.

- I didn't know. - Quiet!

That's all for today.

Come on!

Doctor, let me recommend 73 for tonight.

I know what you like. You'll spend a pleasant evening.

As you like.

No!

No!

What will they do to them?

You've seen the rings in the wall?

They're tied up there and stay all night.

Don't look back.

- They'll kill her? - No, they need us.

The first time, you feel like you're going to die

then you get used to it. I like it better than the pool.

- The pool? - We must stay in it all night.

I beg you.

The diplomatic pouch still works through Switzerland.

I've given orders so that you can use it.

Thank you.

I have something interesting to read.

General de Gaulle arrived last night...

Their newspapers are better.

I was looking at the portraits of the Allied Generals.

I was wondering which one I'd choose as a lover.

The Russians and the Americans have made contact on the Elbe.

Hurry up! It'll come soon.

The Russian is more my type.

But it's too cold in Russia.

The American looks tough.

But I don't trust those Americans.

Under the tough surface, they're romantic.

No, I think I like the English better.

You think you'll be able to choose?

Man proposes, the whore disposes.

And how do you imagine my future?

Hanged. As a War Criminal.

Actually, no. I'd be offended being the widow of a hanged man.

You'll manage to leave for Argentina.

The diplomatic pouch must have been useful to smuggle some money.

You'll buy a hacienda.

And when I'm too old for my job, I'll meet you there.

A comfortable retirement.

That way, I won't have wasted my time with you.

I made a mistake when I bet on the Germans.

My little sister was right.

If my promotion in the Resistance had been as fast as in the German Army,

today I'd be carried triumphantly on the Champs Elysees.

Whereas, while waiting for my Englishman, we'll spend unpleasant days.

You're still willing to serve your Führer till the end?

I've served only myself.

You didn't serve yourself well.

Bamberg was right.

You should have made a separate peace with the Anglo-Saxons.

- You missed the opportunity. - The game is not over yet.

Your rockets, the V2, your secret weapons, the universal bomb.

I don't buy the crocks in your papers.

What if I had my own little secret weapon?

For me alone.

Or for both of us, my queen.

Cigarette?

You've got a light?

When I was little, as far as I remember,

my father often said to me:

"When you're a woman, all men will be at your feet.

You'll make them suffer." And he would laugh.

Fourteen years ago, when I was going to the beach at Fregene,

he was furious because the boys were looking at me.

You're pretty too.

Prettier than I.

Yet they never ask for you.

At night, at roll-call, 112 is never called.

They ask for Manuela, number 113, 113.

At night, I scrub the number for hours.

I believe that if I could rub out the number, I'd disappear suddenly.

Like an eraser removes a drawing from a piece of paper.

Why don't they want you?

I think the soldier in black protects you.

He's always looking at you.

- Pose! - Pose!

It's not difficult not to move.

I work and they're tired!

112!

Now, I'm going to play the most difficult game in my career.

High Art!

A chess game!

Look at the ceiling mirrors.

The center piece.

General Von Lubbe.

Von Lubbe? Von Lubbe...

I met him once at Bamberg's.

I know.

He is the leader of a group of generals who want to overthrow the Führer.

To negotiate with the Anglo-Saxons.

I confounded him thanks to loyal Hoech's confession.

You remember?

- You'll have him hanged? - I'd rather use him.

- I want him to take me as his ally. - He is honest.

He'll refuse.

Those generals think they'll save Germany.

If I send them to the gallows, Germany is no more.

They're mine.

An opponent's piece.

Baron Teldman, the Swedish ambassador.

The Allies' envoy in their negotiation with the generals.

- He knows he is at your place? - He will know.

Von Lubbe is explaining that he can't leave Berlin for fear of being suspected.

I'm sent by the conspirators to replace him.

I'll make contact at the Swiss border as scheduled.

To make a separate peace.

The Allies won't hold talks with you.

You're first on the list of war criminals.

They will accept if I bring them more than Von Lubbe.

Not just a few battalions.

But the whole Army.

Pawns. Nothing but pawns.

But it can be very useful to have pawns in your game.

We must make contact with the English as soon as possible.

-The conditions have changed. - Meaning?

This is Radio Moscow.

We interrupt our program

to air Ilya Ehrenburg’s weekly speech.

I don't envy the Germans.

They live among ruins and the sound of bombs

The convention shall come into effect when signed.

Hostilities will end six hours after

the Supreme Headquarters of Allied Powers in Europe SHAPE

has communicated this agreement to the German Committee

the evil they took to the world has rebounded on them like a boomerang

And whatever new weapons they may have...

It's loaded.

You don't trust me?

I do.

The virtuous Swede didn't blush with shame when he shook your hand?

I took care of his scruples.

I'm appointed by Marshall Goering to negotiate a separate peace.

That was your secret weapon? It's the truth?

I gave evidence of it.

You've made up one.

In due course, it will be real.

Tomorrow, we'll leave for Austria.

You’ll have the opportunity to see "The Commandery".

My masterpiece.

The Swiss border is not far from it.

Day after tomorrow, I'll see the English envoys.

One after the other, you betray your Führer.

Schondorf will never betray Schondorf.

What if Von Lubbe used you?

Even a general can think at times.

Once the agreement is signed, they'll get rid of Colonel Schondorf.

You'll soon hear that Von Lubbe shot himself.

His body will be found in his car.

His hand will still be holding his gun.

One bullet will be missing from his gun.

When will he commit suicide?

It's already done.

Everything went smoothly?

They understand only one language: the language of the bullets and the whip

Since the operations on the Western Front started,

14 German divisions have been destroyed.

3,172 planes have been shot down,

890,000 men have been killed or captured.

The air raids on German cities are getting more and more effective:

Cologne, destroyed,

Wissenburg, destroyed,

Essen, destroyed

Lauterberg, destroyed

Mayen, destroyed

Frankfurt, destroyed.

Mannheim, destroyed.

- Something wrong? - I'm cold.

I'd like to see the shadow of a feeling on your face one day.

Schondorf, were you ever a child?

The Commandery.

You'll be the first woman to get through this door.

On the masters' side.

Perhaps we shall come back here with an English or an American general.

We'll talk of the future of the new Europe together.

You're quite a romantic, Schondorf.

2 votes for, 4 against. Discharged.

I'm happy to find you all here together.

You come at the right time, Colonel. Today is discharge day.

My guest.

She is worthy of us in every way.

Our statutes do not allow a woman...

The first woman allowed in the Commandery as an equal.

You'll obey her as you obey me.

- Article 79... - One of our most eminent philosophers.

He proved that the Japanese were Aryans.

Carry on, please.

88.

The Americans break through your last lines of defense

and you're rehearsing a musical show.

Those girls are discharged.

- What is that discharge? - Something quite pleasant.

You'll see.

- Our friend will replace me. - I object.

- Even an equal woman, article 4. - You didn't hear me.

Our agent 114 has just arrived.

A serious problem?

Acquitted.

I propose interrupting the sitting. I'm thirsty.

We're adjourning.

Thank you.

You were really frightened?

In my place, you'd have been frightened too.

What would have happened to you if they had discharged you?

Answer!

You're talking nonsense!

He's right. We can't get through.

At last you've realized. How many divisions?

I don't know.

- How far? - I don't know.

You're crazy, absolutely crazy.

Do you hear me?

The Americans may be here in a short while.

And how are the future masters of the world passing their time?

Playing sick sadistic games.

The Russians have cut off the road to Bratislava and

the Americans the road to Vienna.

We must cross the border to Switzerland. What are you waiting for?

The road to Switzerland is cut off.

He was the last one to get through.

Where will you meet the English envoys?

It's useless.

The Americans changed their minds.

No separate peace. They act together with the Russians.

You were right about your American.

Under the tough surface, they're romantics.

We're done for.

To every problem, I've always found a solution.

112!

Bring 112 here. I must talk to her.

I object. Interrupting a court session...

It's an order.

Come on!

Come!

- I got here in time. - Why?

You see? They obey me.

- We take the car and we go away. - Where to?

To the American lines. I'll get some disguises.

We'll say we were captured together.

- No. - You're nuts!

- You know what you risk staying here? - Yes, I know.

It's madness!

You can't do this!

I chose a long time ago. I won't abandon them.

You chose too. You chose the torturers' side.

Follow your way till the end.

You can't do this to me. I'm your sister.

I don't wish your death, Juliette. I hope you get away.

They're two miles from here. They're attacking with Shermans.

- Come on! They're attacking. - Not now!

You'll go when I give the order.

Justine!

It's over! You understand? It's over!

Gentlemen!

Berlin has been taken by the Soviets.

It's not true yet.

Hitler shot himself in his bunker.

They're crazy enough to believe it.

The Third Reich is kaput!

In a few hours,

in a few minutes,

the Commandery will fall into the enemy's hands.

We have one last possibility:

to reach Switzerland, but that's not worthy of us.

No one here, I think, wants to behave in such a cowardly way.

Stay!

- Come on! - He won't shoot anyway.

Look at them!

Rats! Rats on a sinking ship!

Where are you going? What are you hoping for?

We've ever had only one mistress:

Death!

To it, we shall remain loyal.

We shall all die together.

and in the centuries to come,

our dazzling death will be talked about with jealousy.

You see?

I was wrong to believe I had equals.

Don't be afraid, darling. I'll say I'm a driver.

An Army always needs drivers.

Stay!

Hans!

Hans...

You too!

Hans!

Schondorf!

They're coming. There's shooting in the park.

Calm yourself, there's no risk. To our conquerors...

What do you plan to do? I have a right to know.

I've decided not to fall into their hands.

I don't want to be questioned or be tried by them.

I know only one law.

My own.

What do you mean? What shall we do?

Die.

They don't frighten me. I'm beautiful.

I'll run away.

I want to live.

You've disappointed me, Juliette.

You wanted to run away.

You wanted to leave me.

You betrayed me.

Goodbye, Schondorf.

You wouldn't get very far anyway.

The champagne was poisoned.

It will be my turn soon.

It is not painful.

You remember Von Bamberg?

You can't force me to die.

You have no right.

You have no right.

I don't want to die.

I don't want to die.

I don't want to die.

You have no right.

I don't want to die!

Watch out!

You almost spilled my drink.

You want to force me to live after you?

Why don't you drink it, Schondorf?

I think your hand is shaking.

Yes, your hand is shaking. Watch out, Schondorf.

If you spill your drink, they'll take you alive.

They'll torture you. Remember what you told me:

to some tortures, no one can resist.

You'll beg, you'll crawl in front of them. They may be like you.

Perhaps there's one as pitiless as you.

You're not drinking? Are you afraid of death?

What if hell existed, Schondorf?

You're thinking of it.

The damned can't die any more.

You're hesitating between the executioner here

and the eternal executioner.

I don't recognize you any more.

My last pleasure is to see you trembling.
