Oh.

Come on. 360.

Move away.

Come on.

Move away.

Come on.

Lift, lift, lift.

Come on.

Come on, lift, lift.

Transfer it to the intensifier.

Hi, Greta. Where the hell are you? On my way.

Why? They filed.

Oh, fuck.

When?

We just got a call from the court room.

It has already made the news. I thought the foreign office had put a stop to

this nonsense.

Word is, they're filing at the European Court of Justice as well.

Combined with the war loan, it's a 160 billion euro claim.

Shit. What did Sob say?

I think he was blindsided. Well, we all were.

Okay. I'll be there in ten.

Could you please put on the news?

I spoke to the

undersecretary. We are to deal with the claims of the civilians, the class

action suit, before the international court.

The justice and finance ministries are going to handle the war occupation loan.

Thank God for small favors.

I would hate to be the one losing a 120 billion euro claim.

Does it have legs?

The war loan, like a centipede.

The Reichsbank orchestrated the whole plan and seized every single gold bar

from the walls of Greece's central bank.

The minister wants to see you straight away.

Tell him I'm on my way.

Inorita, press secretary.

What a mess.

I thought they weren't going ahead with it.

Any claims related to German reparations for crimes committed during World War II

is a hornet's nest.

The Greeks win, then nothing is going to stop the Polish, the Belgians, even the

damn Russians demanding their own pound of flesh.

I thought the 2 plus 4 treaty of 1990 was conclusive on the matter.

Well... The treaty does fail to mention the issue specifically, so it's a matter

of legal interpretation.

The preamble does appear to support our argument, though.

Legally, Germany no longer existed after 1945.

The Federal Republic of Germany can be held responsible for the crimes of

another country.

So, Minister, if I may, legalities aside, I'm afraid this is a complete PR

disaster. The law is firmly on our side.

History shouldn't be used as bandage.

Dammit, we paid our dues long ago.

Regardless, we still need a proper spin.

Anything that might potentially shed a different light on the tragedy.

Those Pfizer downstairs, the witness statements, the role the rebels played,

any involvement of the British intelligence, something that we might

have missed.

I believe we have 72 hours to jump in front of the story.

Even if it's just hot air.

I don't have to remind you that even judges read the news.

Anything you need just ask.

... ... ...

... ...

I won't let you do this.

It's dangerous, kid.

Where are they going?

They're taking over the position of the Italian role.

I swear to God.

Go home.

Noli, come with us.

How is the best-looking lawyer in Berlin?

Tired. And it's only Monday.

I hope you didn't wait too long. As you can see, I'm drowning in paperwork.

Is it official?

By this morning.

Are you taking the lead?

Who will sit there?

Twenty-three cases before international tribunals, and I've never lost a single

one. I know, sweetheart.

But winning this... I win this one, and the future is mine.

Remember Russell from Wayman and Loeb?

Son of a bitch was giving me the cold shoulder for months. And today, he

called out of the blue, talking full partnership.

What are you having?

Not hungry?

My stomach is a nut.

Nothing goes down at the moment.

Is it my place tonight?

I'm sorry, I can't.

I'm flying out to Greece. First thing in the morning.

To Greece?

What are you doing? I've studied the files, read the survivor accounts,

looked at the photos.

I need to see for myself.

Good. Who knows? An epiphany might follow.

Aren't you the optimist?

Say what you like, Chancellor.

But history has the uncanny way to bite you in the ass when you least expect it.

When you are ready, Mr. Andrew.

Mr.

Andreou, what you feel is unusual.

Many cancer patients have this sense of importance and abundance.

Will it pass?

You will do me the honour to take your medicines, won't you?

Mr. Andrew is ready to return to his room.

It's a matter of time before they find the keys.

Who?

The Germans.

I saw them today.

You can't go out until we find out what's going to happen.

Father, they won't bother us, will they?

No, my boy.

Don't worry, they won't bother us.

Even in war, there are laws.

Kirmanolis said he came to fight the invaders.

He's right.

He is.

They will hunt you like animals.

You and all of us.

Maria, the child. The child?

You think he can't see? I have a duty.

And your family?

Your boys?

Who will protect them? You won't get hurt.

We will make it.

How?

We have emptied all the warehouses. There is no food at all. There is

nothing.

I said, we will make it.

The rebels have proven difficult to break.

Lately they've grown even bolder. We suspect the British are providing them

with guns and intelligence.

Our occupation of Greece hangs in the balance.

We need to establish a strong foothold across the peninsula.

The time is not on our side.

The Russian front needs reinforcements.

I need a man willing to make

all the tough decisions.

It must be hard carrying such a past.

It is in your file.

Major Rudolph Tenor of the 6th Bavarian Regiment.

It was at the Battle of Morvo, wasn't it?

Whatever happened to him?

No one knows.

The only thing they found was his dog tags.

Horrible bird.

The sins of the father.

A deserter puts such a stain on a family's good name.

I hear you are an ambitious man.

Play your cards right.

The brass back in Berlin has bound to notice.

I know you're hiding in the mountains, but where?

Where?

Do you think it would be possible to speak to some of the survivors?

I'm afraid there is no one left anymore.

Most of them are either dead or emigrated to Europe and America a long

time ago.

I was hoping I could get a first-hand account.

Maybe Nicolas Andreu can help you.

Last time I heard he was back from London.

Was Mr.

Andrew... Yes, he was.

Poor man was only a boy.

Just make sure you write a good article.

The world needs to know.

You carry any weapons?

Pistols?

Pistol?

Papers.

Papers.

Oops.

You can go.

What are you doing?

What's wrong with you?

Do you want to be caught, Marshall?

Where did you find that old thing?

I'm surprised it's still here.

How... Come, I've never heard of the Austrian before.

The Austrian?

There are about 14 witness accounts in this dossier that mention... Yes, yes, I

know.

Officially, he's considered a mere legend. There are only a handful of

accounts that claim his existence, and they are far from clear.

In fact, this dossier is all there is.

Has anyone ever tried to find out?

An Austrian came once claiming to be him, but he turned out to be a fraud.

As I said, no one really accepts the veracity of this account, so they're not

part of any official record.

The Austrian is considered by many a very polarizing figure.

Listen, I want you to look up something for me.

You need to access the Ministry of Defense's database.

Look for any Austrians who served in the 117th Jäger Division.

Anything you can find.

Austrians? How is that related?

I don't know just yet. I stumbled upon some old files, witness accounts.

Call me as soon as you have something.

Anything.

And go home.

What do we want from this house?

Stay here.

If I'm late, go to St.

Basil's. If I'm not there in five minutes, get out of here. Get lost.

Don't be afraid.

I'm Commandant Tenner of the 117th Jäger Division, and the officer is Lieutenant

Bruckmann, my personal secretary.

I regret the inconvenience, but we will try to cause as little disruption to

your lives as possible, I assure you.

It is only for a few days.

Do we have a choice?

No. I'm afraid you don't.

As of today, a number of houses are commandeered for the temporary housing

of Wehrmacht officers.

I wish you all a good night.

They're chocolates from Germany

It's very good

Good

night

Don't make a fuss.

Why are we still alive?

Tomorrow. We'll be careful.

We'll get out of this alive.

We'll get out.

The bottle.

Patera

What are you talking about?

What are you doing here?

Oh, my God!

We had no other choice.

They will be punished, Alexei.

Go and change. They shouldn't see you like this.

That day at the port was always like this.

I should see the doctor.

You will continue to be a baby.

You will drink your mother's water and we will see.

Thank you.

Good morning.

What were you doing out in the garden so early?

Sit with me.

Sit with me, little man.

Now, do you like magic?

Me too.

Good morning, Commandant. Good morning.

I hope you had a pleasant night.

We have been on the move for two months straight, so a good bed is always a much

appreciated luxury.

Peace.

Oh

Give it one

For

good luck

The

33rd battalion found 78 of our men at the bottom of the gorge

When? Dong.

Resistance.

Has General Eswaben informed?

Yes, Commander.

Bookman, take care of my things.

Fix an iPhone.

Mr. Andrew?

Mr. Andrew?

I'm afraid I don't speak Greek.

Mr.

Andrew has been given his chemo treatment.

He should be back soon.

Thank you.

It appears that Mr. Andreou left against doctor's orders.

General.

78 lives.

78 of my men!

This is a direct challenge to our authority, and it can't go unanswered.

Most of the division has been mobilized, General.

The troops are ready.

Mansoul is always stained by the color of his actions.

There's no escaping that, even in war.

Commands unternehmen Calavrita.

... ...

...

...

I don't believe a word. You have to leave now.

Are you going?

I don't know.

Do you hear that the Germans are leaving? The Chief of Staff told us.

He was here last night.

And what do you say? Is it true? Are they leaving? I don't know.

But he gave you the order to get to his things in a hurry.

Marilya is in a relationship with the others.

But she's with us.

Thank you.

Mr. Andreou, please sit here.

He is very weak.

Honestly, I am impressed that he accepted to see you.

Please sit.

That's what I'm gonna do.

Come on,

Nikola,

let's go.

We'll be back in a minute.

Forward!

Towards the school!

Go!

Keep going!

We keep coming.

The buffet must disappear.

We keep coming.

Come on,

keep moving.

Move!

Quick,

quick!

Take a look at the drawer.

Did you find anything?

What is this?

Is this gold?

This is all dirt.

I could kill for one cigarette.

Hey baby, what is that?

Tell me, yeah.

Come on, let's go.

Hey, come on!

Where are they?

Hold them there, hold them there.

Come on!

Keep moving.

Where are we going?

To school. Hey, boy!

Why don't we just stop this?

Why don't we just stop this?

Oh my God!

You know,

I knew

500 men were executed with machine guns

that day.

I have lived with these memories for so long they have become become my scars.

Make sure the structure is bent to the ground.

Yes, Commander.

Oh my god.

Nikolas, my mother.

I'm fine.

I'm sure of it.

On the top of the hill, farm line!

I don't want to see you again.

Go.

Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you.

Man, your hand!

I heard that the men went to the stable.

Anna's son said that some of them were going down the hill.

It can't be. Let's go.

Let's go to my mother's grave.

Stop.

My Stefanos hasn't come yet.

They took him along with the others.

They took Alexios and Anestis too. My God!

How are they?

They took both of her boys.

She lost Manos and Anis.

She had only her boys.

Nikola!

They're all on the hill.

They all killed him.

They all killed him.

My God, no.

Why, my God? It's a lie.

It's a lie.

Oh,

God!

i don't know

Ernesti? Ernesti?

Where are you?

Ernesti?

Ernesti?

Ernesti?

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

Anesthi.

Anesthi. Anesthi.

Anesthi.

Anesthi. Anesthi.

Thank you.

I made a vow that day to my dead father and brother that I would

not rest until I faced the man responsible.

But one day I would look into the eyes of Commandant Keller and

demand justice.

All those years of life.

And the best I can offer is that history.

That unique, solitary history.

Each one of us owns since birth.

That very part of our past repeats itself over and over.

Before the eyes of blind men.

I better leave you.

No one cares about the damn money.

The reparations.

It's not at all about that.

It was never about that.

Money is our history.

It's not allowed to forget.

So let's go.

May I ask you one last question?

Hmm?

What happened to your vow?

Did you find Commandant Denner? No.

I tried for 30-odd years.

I begged and I pleaded.

It's all classified, they said.

No one cares.

And I... I was just a grieving kid.

What the hell did I know?

He's probably long dead by now.

We never got to finish it.

Take it, please.

For your records.

To remember us both.

How could one love life if there were no childhood in it?

Could you please stand up a pack of cigarettes?

Anything will do.

Thank you.

It's me.

I was hoping that you would call me.

Are you still at the university?

I have all those term papers due tomorrow.

How are you?

I've been better.

Not what you expected.

So what did you find?

Remember that saying about the abyss?

When you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss...

That's how I feel.

I should have been there with you.

I can still come if you need me.

No, no, it's okay. I'm flying out tomorrow anyway.

Are you coming back?

I don't know yet.

It's getting late.

You should get some sleep.

And I remember when I was giving my first speech, when he came out, I was

listening to the bell ring,

and he said, guys, come on, let's have some fun, let's have some fun.

you

Andrea Voss?

No one has called me that for a long time. I am Andrea Weiss now.

I'm Caroline Martin, a lawyer for the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The German Ministry of... What is this regarding?

I'm here about your husband, Friedrich Braun.

We better go inside.

Yeah.

The one on the top is the last one he sent.

A few days before.

He was a wonderful man, kind.

He hated the Nazis and all they stood for.

When he was conscripted, our hearts sank.

We had just gotten married.

But he had no choice.

Except to become a refugee, a fugitive.

Flee to Switzerland, as did many of his friends.

Why didn't he?

Before me.

I had my infirm mother to look after. I could not follow him.

I begged him.

I begged him.

He would not listen.

He wouldn't leave me behind.

My poor Friedrich.

Would you excuse me, please?

I'm so sorry, Eva.

The man on the right, Nicolas Henry, is alive because of Friedrich.

He was in the school with his mother.

If it wasn't for your husband...

Thank

you.

It's three past midnight and we need an angle for the press to spin the hell out

of this shitstorm.

What happened to the lead you mentioned? The good German?

Caroline, are you still there?

Yes, Ritter. I'm still here.

Stop messing around and get on the case.

I will.

I feel strongly that continuing this course of action would be a mistake and

dishonor the memory of the innocent people who died that day.

It is imperative for the German state to show its citizens that true justice does

not fade away with time and that humanity will always prevail.

For these reasons, and in good conscience, I feel compelled to tender

my resignation effective immediately.

Sincerely Caroline Martin
