'On a warm June day in
the Rue St Martin in Paris

'there was a disturbance.

'Members of the French press

'were being barred from
a secret conference.

'Representatives of
the United Nations

'were hearing from the head
of a fact-finding commission...

'Dr Heinrich Bernhardt.

'Bernhardt had a proven record

'on international affairs.

'His report was sharp and concise
- facts and figures

'about turning the Allied zones of
Germany into a unified country.

'They were dealing with something

'that might add harmony
to this turbulent world.

'You can see why the
reporters were a bit put out.

'But was the young man
impressed? Definitely not.

'You can't blame the American.

'It was the first time he'd
seen Paris and he really took it in.

'From street cafes in Montmartre

'to the plaza in front of Notre Dame.

'240 steps up the Gothic
spires it was even more attractive.

'She was just like the
picture postcards said,

'the most beautiful
city in the world.

'By turns stunning,

'exciting, peaceful.'

Oh, un pigeon!

'That's right. The dove
of peace was a pigeon.

'A dead pigeon.'

Come and bury him.

I'm making a cross for his grave.

Let's go.

'All the same, the pigeon was
set for a hero's funeral,

'in the shadows of the Sacre Coeur,

'the church that sits
majestically on Montmartre hill.'

Pierrot! Andre!

'Two things were overlooked
in the funeral arrangements...

'Maman... and the fact
that on some tables,

'pigeons make a fair dish.'

- Mom, please. Give it back
We. - Children, be reasonable.

- We had to bury him.
What is that?

A message?

- Let me look.
- It's not for kids.

Officer,

this is what we have
found attached to the wing of a pigeon.

- Did you kill a pigeon?
- No. The children found it.

Ca va. Ca va.

It's serious?

It's in German.

- 'Allemand
- German. The war was long over.

'Something like peace was
supposed to be here.

'It still sent fear into
these simple people's hearts.

'This was something
for higher authorities.

'They went to their Deuxieme Bureau.

'That's their version of Scotland
Yard or the American FBI.'

9:45 p.m., Sulzbach.

Twenty-one and
forty-five - 2145,

'the continental method of
saying 9.45pm our time.

'And that was about all

'they could get out of it.'

We will have choices. SO,
do not joke.

'That and...' Sulzbach.

'Plenty of Sulzbachs to chose
from in occupied Germany.

'Several in every zone.

'Better notify the
other headquarters.'

Give me the service
information from embassies.

De l'Angleterre. 'The
British Embassy.'

Des Etats-Unis. 'The United States.'

Et de la Russie
Sovietique. 'And the Soviet.

'But notify them of what?

'Of what happening in what Sulzbach?

'9.45pm of what night?

'Six hours later at Paris'
Gare de l'Est station,

'where the railroad office for the
US Army maintained a special window,

'the following incident took place.'

My name is Hans Schmidt.
You have a ticket for me.

Sorry, you don't seem
to be on the list.

But it was only 20
minutes ago I was cleared.

I was assured that...

- Paris to Frankfurt, eh?
- And on to Berlin.

Sir, fella here named Schmidt.

Hans Schmidt.

Oh, yes, sir. Right, sir.

Seems to be OK, Mr Schmidt.

'Schmidt was on his
way to the Main Seiner,

'the United States army train...

'a travelling grand hotel for
soldiers on leave and on orders,

'for war department
clerks and wartime wives,

'displaced persons and diplomats.'

Right, sir. Third car down.

Your papers, mister.

Second car down.

Merci, sergeant.

Can I help you with your suitcases?

Ya nye ponimayu. Quoi?

Ya nye ponimayu.

"Ya nye ponimayu"? Ona ved' russkaya.

Do svidaniya.

Second car down.

Daytye, tovarisch. Ya tozhe
russkiy. Je ne comprends pas.

Permettez.

Here, let me give you a hand.

No, I'd rather wear it myself.

- How's your German?
- It isn't. I think I get the idea, though!

I just did that.

- We don't have any more German enemies.
- No authorized ones.

'The American

'was in compartment A.

'His travel orders
read: Robert J Lindley...

'birthplace, Illinois.
Occupation, US government agricultural expert.

'Compartment B, Lucienne Mirbeau
- birthplace, Lyon, France.

'Occupation, secretary.

'Compartment C, Herr Otto Franzen
- birthplace, Frankfurt.

'Once a German
industrialist, now a dealer in scrap iron.

'Compartment D, unoccupied,

'but being held for a
person of importance.

'Compartment E, James
Sterling of Liverpool.

'Former occupation, soldier. Present
occupation, school teacher.

'Lt Maxim Kiroshilov
- birthplace, Moscow.

'Defender of Stalingrad.
Military aide, occupation authorities.

'Compartment F, Henri Perrot, Paris.

'Member of the French
Underground. Now a man of commerce.

'Compartment G, Hans Schmidt
- birthplace, Munich. Occupation...'

Glad to have you with us, sir.

Please give me some light.

Thanks.

'2145 is 9.45pm.

'The only thing missing from
the pattern was Sulzbach.'

I'm sorry, old man. This is taken.

You know, it's occupied.

You know.

Possession is nine tenths of the law.

Wait a minute. Never let it be
said that an Englishman isn't fair,

at least on occasions.

Heads, it's mine.
Tails, yours. Right?

Heads... mine.

Upstairs.

I can't say that I'm sorry.

Up you go.

Pleasant dreams. I
hope you don't snore.

Ticket and papers, please.

Sterling, Lt Kiroshilov,
compartment E.

You can't take that on the
train. You'll get it back tomorrow.

Can I get a sandwich in the diner?

Lindley, compartment
A. The diner is closed.

The mess sergeant will
call you for breakfast.

My name's Lindley.

Sterling.

My kid brother fought with
a British outfit in Italy.

The turning point of the war.

- According to American history.
- What do you mean?

The actual turning point
of the war was El Alamein.

You're quoting English history now.

Please forgive.

I wonder how THEY'LL handle it.

Truthfully, I hope. Otherwise
I'm wasting valuable time.

I'm in re-education. It
seems hopeless sometimes.

Yet what is more important than that?

- Giving them something to eat.
- Your field?

I do sleight of hand.

I have to make 1,500
calories look like a huge meal.

And prevent things like
plague and starvation.

Do you happen to know who
that Russian girl is?

- German, you mean?
- With a Parisian accent.

French? What chance has a
European with an American around?

I'm afraid you overestimate us.

How can we compete with
your charm, your chocolates?

- Your soap.
- Your cigarettes.

It's more blessed
to give than receive.

- I thought the diner was closed.
- Unless you happen to be important.

What's so important about a German?

What makes you think he is German?

Reason it for yourself. Bodyguard
holding the train?

I'll wager it's one of Ivan's lads.

Only a Russian would
arrive with a platoon.

- And only a Britisher would object.
- Oh, you speak English?

Comes and goes, tovarisch.

Good night. Good night.

- You'll take every precaution.
- Yes, sir.

'There he was, his first German. You
can't knock it out of your head.

'You've licked him in two wars

'and you're still not
sure you have the upper hand.

'You could be wrong, though.

'Maybe he IS a right
guy. Then you find yourself

'rolling over the former
enemy border and the doubt is back.

'You're in his territory now.

'The trees look the
same. The sky is the same.

'The air doesn't smell any different.

'All at once,

'the vestibule was
chilly and his own compartment

'suddenly seemed inviting and warm.'

What do you want?

Nothing now. I won't even
ask what you're doing here.

I'm just going to hope.

This is no longer your compartment.

- Who said so?
- The United States Army.

- For what reason?
- All over Europe, people have been shifted.

I'm to be a casualty of the
war? Well, that's too bad.

I hoped we'd cement
relations between France and America.

At least half of the Allied army

offered the
same... touching proposition.

- What about the other half?
- They were in the Pacific.

OK, madame, or is it mademoiselle?

- Do you know where they moved me?
- No.

- In case there isn't
any vacancy - - Non.

Is this what you Americans
call sweeping a girl off her feet?

You know what? I don't get
anywhere with girls back home either.

- You've been transferred in with me.
- With you?

I know. I feel the same
way about it, but there it is.

It must be to do with the
gentleman who had bodyguards.

- He moved only a moment ago.
- Why can't I take this?

I'll get your things.

- That isn't available, Mr Lindley.
- It's empty.

We're keeping it that way.

What are you doing here
so late at night?

My bike is broken.

This bloke could have been killed.

Would you pardon me, please?

You'll be OK now, Dr Bernhardt.

Excuse me. I don't
mean to be personal.

Who do you have to know
to get something to eat?

Something to eat? I
have some sandwiches.

But why not? I would be
honoured if all of you would join me.

- No. -And you?
- No, thank you.

It would give us a
chance to know one another.

And for what good purpose?

For mutual understanding.

I overheard you a short while
ago outside my compartment.

- I feel you could use some.
- Are you Dr Heinrich Bernhardt?

- Mm-hm. We'll take those
sandwiches. - Permit me to bring them to you.

Head of a fact-finding
commission to unify Germany, right?

That's him, if he can swing it.

All right, everybody. Stay in
your compartment until further notice.

Can't sleep either, eh?

What do you think happens next?

Whatever it is, it will delay
us. Of that you can be certain.

The world's full of
peacemakers fighting among themselves.

This one was different, I think.

I know a few things about him. He
fought for peace all his life.

A fine tribute he received
- a grenade.

KNOCK AT DOOR Lindley? Perrot?

When we reach the
station, go to the special bus.

- Special bus?
- The passengers of this car are under arrest.

You'd better start packing.

- Do you see the delay? It begins.
- We're in Frankfurt now.

'Or rather, what's left of Frankfurt.

'The biggest ghost town you ever saw.

'A community of hollow
shells, chipped and battered

'by Allied bombs, according
to a methodical plan,

'a plan that would cancel out the
city as a tough enemy centre,

'and still retain some choice spots.

'Like the Hauptbahnhof,
the railroad depot,

'which served the occupation forces,

'and experts in restoration

'who would enter this
strange new world.'

'Specialists in military
affairs, clerical workers,

'statesmen, prosecutors, judges,

'educators, nutrition experts,

'as well as others

'you couldn't quite classify.

'This was a world of rubble,

'under strict military control, with
a system of economy of its own.

'There was no such thing as the
dollar, the franc or the pound.

'A person's bankroll is
their special occupation money

'and their supply of cigarettes.'

What do you want to
do? Create inflation?

'In this headquarter city

'for the American occupation
zone, there were no casual sightseers.

'No-one was here without a purpose.

'There were other modern
touches in this ancient city.

'The architecture, for instance
- new lines, new shapes,

'generally referred to as early
20th-century modern warfare.

'So universal is the destruction, it
blends into a continuous pattern.

'But there is more than the
physical loss of stone and steel...

'the loss of human dignity.

'Commerce is conducted from
cases holding prize possessions,

'to barter for the
necessities of life.

'Everything from
diamonds to diapers was here.

'The choice business
offices are in the sun.

'And don't forget the social world.

'Bulletin boards with cards
seeking the whereabouts of lost friends,

'relatives, displaced persons.

'These are features some don't see

'when they have other
things on their minds.'

Has anyone the remotest
idea where they're taking us?

'Only the army. You
approach the entrance gate

'to the United States army compound,

'undergo the ever
vigilant inspection,

'and proceed to something
you won't forget.

'The IG Farben building.

'monument to German
ingenuity and might,

'former administrative
home of the Farben industries,

'manufactories of the tools of war.

'The boys in the Allied
bombers saw this spot wasn't touched.

'Where munition makers worked
to conquer the world,

'here would be ideal offices for
the enforcement of the peace.

'Here would be
headquarters for USFET...

'United States Forces'
European Theatre.

'Here the American soldier

'is helping form the
history of the world.

'To keep the peace in Germany,

'to make it possible for people
to resume their place in society,

'the army is on constant duty.

'No city is more
important than Frankfurt.

'Clearing house and main hub
for the entire American zone.

'This was Congress,

'the White House and
Department of Justice under one roof.

'Here policy was made and executed,

'work permits granted, travel
orders rewritten, checked,

'and enemies of the
government were called to account.'

Please be seated. Have a chair.

Please have your papers ready,

your travel orders, passports, visas.

If German, your registration
cards. You'll all be called soon.

Until then, you will
not discuss the case.

I wonder how long they'll hold us.

Me they will not hold long. I am
travelling under Soviet orders.

Explain that to the Americans.

- Are those your orders?
- Don't worry. He'll show you that.

I will hold it.

The authentic signature of Hitler.

Name-dropper. And only for
ten packets of cigarettes.

Not his, so he pretends
not to be impressed.

It is a national
characteristic. 10,000km of red tape.

The Americans could
learn from the French zone.

- It's in a class by itself. I've seen them all.
- Even the Soviet?

- Even the Soviet.
- Then you saw how a zone should be managed.

- You had a permit, of course?
- No, I sneaked in as a British spy.

You were lucky you were not shot.

There is no pampering in our zone.

Since Stalingrad, we know
how to handle the Germans.

You, please.

I think he means you.

No, Mr Lindley. You're wanted.

This is the one, sir.

This is the one
what? Your papers, please.

- Which one is yours, Mr Lindley?
- The second one.

Where were you while the train stopped
at Sulzbach for the cart?

At one of the windows, I think.

- Yeah, looking out.
- What did you see?

- A horse and cart.
- What else? People, activity?

- Near your car.
- It was too dark to see much.

Except a horse and cart.
A quarter of a mile away.

After Dr Bernhardt was
transferred, you entered his vacant compartment.

- Entered it? No, I didn't.
- I saw you go in.

- I started to but you stopped me.
- See anything?

- Odd-sized package,
anything like that? - Nothing.

- Except some sandwiches and...
- So you did go in?

How do I know? One step, maybe.

You're mixed up. We work
for the same government.

I'm an American citizen.

Any contact with German nationals?

I've never been out of
America. I just left there.

- So did Dr Bernhardt.
- We have it pretty well identified.

Grenade, German make.

- Rigged for use as a time bomb.
- Amateur, but effective.

- Where were we? -Putting me in the
amateur bomb-building business.

Found this, sir.

Some formula. Chloride, isn't it?

Thiamine Chloride, a powerful
explosive known as vitamin B1!

- Those are nutrition charts.
- Papers are in order.

Thank you, Mr Lindley.

We'll have the girl next.

Will you come in, please?

You, miss.

What was it like in there?

- A few questions.
- You must have learned something.

The murderer went
to a lot of trouble.

I do not understand
why. All this for a German.

Dr Bernhardt was the
type you never knew.

- You know one, you know another.
- You mentioned Stalingrad.

He was fighting for that
city before you went to war.

Where was he conducting this warfare?

Here in Germany, on the
surface and underground.

Even if I understood
this, I would not believe it.

He was a countryman of yours.
What was your opinion of Dr Bernhardt?

Gentlemen, everything here is
fine. The occupation is very good.

I do not have any opinion.

Nor do you, I suppose.

An opinion of this
Bernhardt? Yes, I do.

We'd all like to hear it.

He was a fool.

His knowledge of people left
a great deal to be desired.

- Cigarette? -No, thanks. - My
doctor reduced me to ten a day,

but luckily neglected
to specify the size.

Your doctor evidently had
no understanding of people.

Exactly. You have a good point.

People are at the mercy of
those they seek to help.

Bernhardt, for instance,

- champion of
friendship. � Otto Franzen.

But how mistaken he was. Let's
take the four of you here.

Is it possible there can ever
be such trust among you?

� Otto Franzen.

He is a reason to
like that Bernhardt.

It's a pleasure and an
honour, Dr Bernhardt.

I'm sorry I did not respond
when you called Otto Franzen.

I do not think I am so
good with the cloak and dagger.

I disagree. Your
secretary is sure no-one suspects.

- It's worked well.
- And tragically.

Remember it wasn't your
plan. It was the agent's.

But the cost. His life.

Had it been yours, who
would have met the Allies?

- You think I am irreplaceable?
- I'm pretty sure you don't think so.

- What have you been saying?
- Only that you like people.

- That you would talk to anybody.
- Now, that is not so.

Not once have I so
much as uttered a...

Well, a few words out there.

What is that?

No more probably than a few lines.

My letter to Johann.
How did you get this?

Intercepted it. Remember
we said no letters?

Well, I was going to
visit Johann here today.

I last saw him before the war.

You cannot see anybody who
might be able to recognise you.

- Not for a while.
- Professor Walther will give nothing away.

Besides, the danger is over.

- They think they have their man.
- It must stay that way.

Didn't that affair on the
train show what we are up against?

An underground determined
to stop at nothing.

We should hold up your
trip for a few days

until we feel it's safe.

Hold up my trip?

- You understand why.
- I understand only

- why I must go tonight. - A
day, two days - what is that?

- Delay.
- Only until we get a line...

Let me explain something.

Out there are four men of
different nationalities

who are incapable of
uniting except perhaps on one issue...

their great distaste
for Otto Franzen.

The enemy is very proud of those men.

Each day that their
nations remain apart,

so much more freedom has the
enemy, so much it can grow.

Delay, we cannot afford it.

The representatives of the
Allied powers await my report.

I MUST be there. I will
not hold up my trip.

I didn't think you
would. Well, I tried.

Will you wait in here, please?

Colonel, as Lucienne pointed
out, there is a danger.

It would be foolish
for her to come along.

The colonel has put you in my charge.

Haven't you, Colonel?

Bring in the next man.

Mr Sterling, please.

'But of the passengers,
eyewitnesses to a murder,

'none could offer any help.'

Lieutenant Kiroshilov.

- Here you are, Sterling.
- Oh, thanks very much.

- These yours?
- Thank you.

Like a camera? 20
cartons of cigarettes?

A wonderful piece of
Meissen. You cannot see the chip.

Need a good leather belt, lieutenant?

It's very curious. What happened
to our little friend with no opinion?

- You mean Schmidt?
- Must be his destination. Terrible loss!

Psst. Hey, Ivan.

Tovarisch.

Look, are you
interested in souvenirs?

Souvenirs, yes.

The authentic signature of Hitler.

For just two packs of
cigarettes. There's not another like it.

- Obviously a forgery!
- Yes.

But which one?

Excuse me, sir. Could I
show you something of value?

No.

But in the old days...

Heinrich, in the old
days, you admired it so much.

You must be mistaken.

Do you remember the
tower at Heidelberg

that Hilda gave to me?

Johann Walther,

how long it has been.

I wrote to you, you know, but you...

What's the matter, my friend?

I cannot stay. I mustn't.

Johann!

Something's frightening
you. What is it?

I haven't been well lately.

Nonsense. Here.

We have time for a
cigarette together.

Just for old times' sake.

Danke shon, Heinrich.

Danke shon.

All right, miss. Everything
is in order. Thank you.

- What's the matter here?
- I didn't touch her. She fainted.

Passengers for the Berliner, track 5.

Passagiere fur den Berliner, Gleis 5.

Major, il n'est pas la. He's gone.

Arrest these
people. Every one of them.

- He was here only a moment ago.
- I know. I saw him.

I'll notify the colonel.

Cover this whole area for Bernhardt.

- Bernhardt?
- The man who was killed was only posing as Bernhardt.

- Let's help.
- There isn't time.

He is not lost. He was kidnapped.

I know. I am his secretary.

You spoke to him. You
know his voice, his face.

- You can help.
- There is the army.

In uniform, advertising
themselves to these Germans.

You are different. They
would not be on guard against you.

We can't miss the train.
We have our travel orders.

I thought you believed in
Bernhardt and all he stood for.

I do not think he included me.

No, please. Wait.

When my orders say I must be
somewhere, that is where I am.

- I have my country to serve.
- You THINK you serve your country.

You are working for the
underground. They want you to do this.

They want you in
zones, fighting each other.

I'm sorry.

We shall see what we can do.

Thank you.

Thank you both.

My orders are military,

commanding me to
duty by tomorrow noon.

Others may disregard
orders, not the Soviet.

She's right. This concerns
us all, if not the Soviet.

Wait.

Wait!

Anything of concern
to the rest of you

is of special concern to the Soviet.

'An immediate dragnet was ordered.

'The whole city of
Frankfurt was to be covered.

'A search combing black
markets and the civilian masses

'for some lead to the underground

'to find a man among
strangers and enemies

'that were always
present but unseen.'

So this is a failure. No?
Admit it. It is a failure.

- Oh, shut up.
- No, he is right.

You are always the
same. You won't face reality.

This Bernhardt, he is gone. That
is the truth of the matter.

Tomorrow Lt Kiroshilov will be
gone. I'll be lucky to emerge a private.

It is my fault, and all for nothing.

Who is there to question?

How could we question
them? Only you speak German.

- None of us knows this city.
- I used to, when they had streets.

There should be a card for
the latest missing person.

Dr Heinrich Bernhardt, lost
while on route to Berlin

to begin forming a united Germany.

"Information as to
whereabouts of Karl and Paula Dorfman."

"Hilda Walther, aged
63, beloved wife of Johann...

"Johann Walther."

"Any information, please
notify Professor Johann Walther."

Bismarck Strasse
10. I think I know that.

I met him with Dr
Bernhardt. He will help.

But, how? How will he help?

This is his home. He
may know the underground.

How does one get there?

It's that way. I'm
not sure how far it is.

But I'm certain it's
in that vicinity.

Turn das Ding ab.

Children of the last class.

Hier wirdst du nur Deutsch sprechen.

- They didn't learn English.
- Halt's Maul. Reg dich nicht auf.

Die Anderen mussen jeden
Augenblick hier sein.

They do not speak English.

- You can talk to me now.
- They don't want us to.

- It is fine. You may speak.
- They don't like it, Heinrich.

You did what you had to
do. Of that I am very sure.

How long have you been
associated with them?

How long have you known them?

Johann?

Known them? Yes, I have known them.

Er... let me see.

Ever since... ever
since Hilda went away.

- She went away?
- Yes.

They took her away.

It was... months ago.

But she's coming back now, very soon.

And then... you will see
her too, Heinrich, huh?

It's been a long time, huh?

Very long.

These people, they are
going to arrange it.

Only today it has been decided.

They promised that they
will tell me where she is

if... if I would...

if I...

If you would do what?

If I would meet you at
the railroad station.

And... and deliver you over to them.

I'm very glad.

It will be good for
you to have her back.

Don't... speak to
me with such kindness.

Heinrich...

Don't.

Das ist Heinrich Bernhardt. Ich
hatte ihn irgendwo erkannt.

Hierher, Herr Doktor.

No! You cannot go.

We cannot go? They
are waiting for us.

- But our arrangement. My wife.
- Oh, yes, yes. Her address.

I've got it right here.

Dolbeck. That's a... cemetery.

That's number ten.

Must be someone here. The light.

Professor Walther?

Professor Walther?

Let me take you back to the colonel.

Lucienne, there must be another way.

Like trying every house in
Frankfurt till we find him?

Wait a minute. Sterling, you
know this town a little.

Where are the black market joints?

Or the gangster hideouts.

We will find the
Germans who hated Bernhardt.

OK, forget it.

Wait. But there are such places here?

Two cabarets, but
Germans can't go there.

They are for the American army.

They're the legal ones. What
about the ones off limit?

For German civilians. He may
have something. It's a chance.

- Who would we look for?
- For a Frenchman he is smart.

- I vote against.
- The veto again.

Perhaps if we split up.

It appears we've split up already.

I should have told you
before. I'm a sucker for slumming.

Care to see some nightlife?

We have a lot of ground to cover.

We will look ourselves,
but thoroughly.

Vier Zigaretten, bitte.

- Was soll es denn sein? Wir haben Bier und Schnapps.
- Zwei Bier.

I wonder if this was a good
idea. It is the same every place.

We are the ones being looked over.

- Does that bother you?
- No.

It's so annoying. You make a
better detective than I do.

And a lot better-looking.

Have you forgotten why we are here?

I'm here to do what I
can to get somebody back.

Somebody important. Maybe
I'm kidding myself.

Maybe I'm here because
you want him back.

Listen, you are a
stranger in a strange country.

And a fairly attractive
girl who speaks your language

makes you feel close to
her. It is that simple.

I didn't say attractive, I
said you weren't bad-looking.

Over there for instance,

that's attractive.

Or that.

She has quite a number
of things in her favour.

But just not enough.

She has very much in her
favour. The cigarette.

Like Bernhardt's. I suppose she
can thank her GI for that.

Only he is smoking the regular size.

Danke schon. Danke schon.

Die Herrschaften die
Zigaretten kaufen wollen,

bitte sehen Sie hierher.

They have been smoked
only a few times.

Meine Damen und Herren, es
ist meine Ehre vorzustellen

Maja die Allwissende,
Maja the mindreader.

Maja, Ihre Gedanken gelesen
wird und Ihre Fragen beantwortet.

Wer kommt zuerst? Wer will
die ersten Fragen stellen?

You, soldier?

Ask any questions. Maya
waits. Hier ist der Erste.

Ihre Frage, Herr Korporal.

When can I go home?

Nun, Maya, hore gut zu.

When is he going home?

That's what we'd like to know.

More questions.

Maya waits.

Where's my wife?

Sie ist bei dir zu Hause

mit deinem besten Freund.

More questions.

Wo habe ich meine
Lebensmittelkarte verloren?

Hast du dich am Schwarzen
Markt umgeschaut?

More questions. Maja waits.

What am I thinking?

I don't go out with strangers.

Wo kann ich schlafen?

Beim Bahnhof ist eine Kiste.

- More questions.
- I have a question.

Ah, another American.

And you would also like to
know when you'll go home?

I would like to know where
is Heinrich Bernhardt.

Bernhardt?

Bernhardt, I do not
know such a person.

Konnen Sie nicht ein
bisschen vorsehen? -Sergeant!

You must help me. It
is very important.

We shouldn't be here
so if there's trouble...

If you leave, there
will be trouble for you.

- That girl helped kidnap an official.
- You're crazy.

Tell that to Colonel Johns.

Wait a minute. Let's figure this out.

You guys go while
you've got the chance.

What's it all about?

Wen suchen Sie, mein Herr?

- Where did she go?
- Ich verstehe nicht...

What did you do with Bernhardt?

Save it for the MPs.

I didn't know she was
mixed up in anything.

You must know something.

- I know where she lives.
- That's enough. Come on. What is it?

Smooching with an underground babe
- they'll throw the book at me.

Not if you're smart. You
suspected her all along. -No.

You were going with
her to get a line on her.

- I was?
- You can tell your superiors about an enemy

and save the life of
a very important man.

Yeah. Yeah, you're right.

Maybe it would be better if
I talked to Colonel Johns.

Hans, geh sofort nach Raume.

Raume?

Yes, sir. Yes, the place
is a hotbed of them.

Tell him to report
it to Colonel Johns.

Please see Colonel
Johns gets the message.

Right, sir.

That'll put a damper
on the local playboys.

- This way. It's not far. - If
she's home. -She'd better be.

That two-timing Fraulein!

Let me get my bearings.

It's somewhere here. She
lives in this place?

People live where they can.

I'll never come back
but where are we?

It's part of the old
city. They call it the Raume.

What a massage job this got.

I should warn you. You find all
sorts in this old brewery.

- One guy even kept livestock.
- Brewery?

Once one of the biggest. It's
not like it was in the old days.

Doctor!

Doctor, what have they done to you?

- I'm sorry you had to find me.
- Gut gemacht, Hans.

Es war hochste Zeit.

Tut mir leid wegen den
Amerikaner, aber ich musste...

Miss Mirbeau,

we have been urging Dr Bernhardt

to discuss with us this
plan of his for Germany.

So they can work against it.

You understand why we
have been waiting for you.

We are sure that, since
you were close with him,

you can supply us the facts.

We do not wish to harm
him, unless we have to.

And, if you would help...

I understand. On the train
you tried to kill him.

Now you are people of great mercy.

It is simply a matter of logic.

Now we are in a
position to learn the facts.

Now you are in a position to bargain.

- She tells you the plan, you turn Bernhardt loose?
- Yes.

After the conference
in Berlin is over.

After it's over.

You understand, we cannot permit
him to attend this meeting.

Doctor, you can conduct another one.

Another one? It means delay.

Yes. Yes, Doctor. Delay.

It is not so good for your Allies,

but it's very good for us.

You are being offered your
life. What more do you want?

It is up to you.

Wait a minute. Don't answer that.

Not till I tell him this
phoney GI tipped off the army.

I sent 'em to the cabaret.

They'll trace us here. If you
stop now, you can save your neck.

My neck?

What do you think? I
should quiver with fear?

What more can they do to me
now? But do not feel sorry for us.

I won't. I'll leave that to you.

We still have one thing left...

our determination to have
the Germany we deserve.

I think you've got that now.

You do not know what you
say. You are not a German.

- But I am.
- No. No, Dr Bernhardt.

Or you would be here with
the builders of Germany.

The builders of Germany? The
wreckers of peace and unity.

Unity?

I'm only a brewmaster, Dr Bernhardt.

I am not a politician.

But some things I know
much better than you.

I too believe in unity.

But unlike you, I know
that people will only unite

when they are faced
with a crisis, like war.

Well, we are still
at war. You are not.

So, we are united. You are not.

So, we will succeed. You will not.

But someday, brewmaster...

my people will understand that
peace also is a crisis.

They will unite against you and
you will be gone for ever.

Perhaps, Dr Bernhardt, but not yet.

Now we are concerned with
this plan of yours

for the various Allied zones.

Mussen wir uns eben an
Ihrer Sekretarin halten?

Fraulein, wir haben genug
gewartet. Sie kennen seine Ideen.

Lassen Sie sich das Madel in
Ruhe. Mit Ihnen bin ich fertig.

Try to get out. I'll do the same.

Sonst gebe ich sie jemanden,

der andere Methoden anwenden wird.

Also, wir haben lang genug gewartet.

Sie kennen seine Ideen. Heraus damit.

- Ich weiss die Einzelheiten nicht.
- Sie lugen.

Wir wissen ganz genau dass
Sie seine Mitarbeiterin sind.

Wir machen kein Spass.

Wir shiessen ihn
zusammen wie einen Hund.

Sie allein kann ihn retten.

You are wasting your time.

Ihre Treue ist ergeben.

Schone Treue, lasst sich
ganz einfach krepieren.

That's the loyalty I mean.

Loyalty to a thing
far greater than I.

Loyalty to a step to lead
us on the path to peace.

You are a fool. There is no step.

There is no peace but OUR peace.

Friedrich!

Ludwig!

- Wo sind die Andere?
- Er hat mich angegriffen. Er ist ein Betruger.

Ein Spion.

Aufhalten!

Schnell. Nicht hinaus lassen.

Der Amerikaner.

Lindley!

Hans.

I'm wondering... if she is as
important to you as your plan.

Let us see.

That's it, mister. Straight ahead.

Lt Kiroshilov, Soviet
Occupation Forces.

You fellas are always on
the defensive. Inside.

Just some routine
questions, lieutenant.

That call came from
a GI who was here.

No, major. There has
been no soldier here.

- Ask the customers. I wonder what they'd say.
- I just brought in three new ones.

Are the girl and Lindley with you?

We're looking for
them. What happened?

They found a lead here but
she says they were never here.

- Anything on Bernhardt?
- Nothing.

We even checked on Walther. We
found him dead. A blank wall.

- That's the German from the train.
- Bernhardt.

- What?
- Bernhardt.

Where is he?

At... at the Raume.

There's nothing there but rubble.

Cellars.

Cellars.

Yes, cellars, go
on. Who is it that...

- We can't trust this man.
- I think we'll have to.

Schmidt was assigned to look
after Bernhardt by the War Department.

You know my terms, Dr
Bernhardt. Now you will talk.

And you will talk quickly if
you care about her safety.

After I talk, you let her
go. How can I trust you?

- You don't.
- You are wrong.

He knows that you will
not keep your word.

No more that he will keep his.

- Lucienne.
- This game of pretending to bargain.

It is useless.

And undignified. Wasting your
time talking to these fanatics

who are unfit to live, let
alone rule a country.

Friedrich...

da druben ist ein guter Platz.

Fuhren Sie hinuber.

The tragedy is for you.

For me there were
only a few years left.

Important years.

Completion of your life's work.

My work? At this moment
only the most foolish man

- could say it was worthwhile.
- Die Zeit fur reden ist voruber.

But I am that foolish
man. Macht Shluss.

Sergeant, you and Smith.

Jenkins, cover the ladder.

They will not be
expecting it from you.

- Bernhardt first.
- Not now. The army is everywhere.

Then go, quick. Go?

Are you giving the orders
now? What do you...?

I do not know what
you... No more blunders.

I must be sure of Bernhardt this
time. And sure of myself.

Holzman.

Ah, what courage I see!

Wait, Holzman. Let me tell you.

You need me. I can be
of good service to you.

But never so much as now.

Hey, somebody get me out of here.

Lindley? Ah, Lindley!

Sergeant, get her
some help. Yes, sir.

- Some things I thought about you, I take back.
- Good work.

I'll take that. You
won't need it any more.

Sind Sie fertig mit den Brotchen?

- Anything more?
- I must get to bed for tomorrow I may be shot.

Perhaps I can
persuade them to postpone it

Thanks for the party.
- It is I who must thank you, all of you.

Not only have you saved my
life, you have saved my mission.

I can see now that it will work.

Maxim, your compartment. Which
one were you assigned?

Six. It is on a communal basis. I
am sharing it with someone else.

What luck, you're
sharing it with a friend.

- I wish you a pleasant night, sir.
- Good night.

We match for the lower bunk, no?

- Good.
- Heads me, tails you.

You would care to make
it two out of three?

Very well.

Um... good night.

Lieutenant?

Sorry, but I thought I spotted it.

You know the rule
about carrying firearms.

Yes, but we must consider
the welfare of the doctor.

That's what I've been doing.

What do you think of an extra guard?

Are you sure that it's necessary?

What I mean, old boy, is
one of us in with him.

What about it? I wish
I'd thought of it.

Since I didn't, I'm willing to serve.

That is not fair. We
should all take turns.

Then permit me to be first. I
have done less for him than you two.

- Perrot. Yes?
- We'll relieve you in an hour, OK?

If you wish.

- You wish to come in?
- Only I, sir.

We thought we should stay
with you. I am first.

If you think it's necessary.

Soll ich Ihr compartment
zurechtmachen?

Kommen Sie spater, bitte.

- He spoke German to the steward.
- What?

Perrot. He said you were the
only one who spoke German.

So he knows a phrase or two. Sterling,
you want the next watch?

Why did he make a pitch to be first?

Perrot of all of us. He felt he
hadn't done enough to help him.

He's crazy. He was
with us from the start.

Oh, it doesn't
matter. I prefer it that way.

Keeps one from feeling
so... shut away from the world.

- Maxim, will you follow Sterling?
- He WAS with us from the start.

Touting us for our every move.

He lied about not
knowing Frankfurt, too.

Then he told us all the nightspots.

And he knew the Raume was
a shambles. -There you are.

But I knew that
myself. There's something else.

Something that's been bothering me.

- We've been bothered for two days.
- The bomb.

- Perrot called it a grenade.
- It was.

How did he know? Who can
identify a bomb they never saw?

He did, before the
army or anyone else.

Maybe we're all tired.

He certainly is. The
last watch for you.

You'd better get some sleep.

- Listen...
- You'll be as right as rain tomorrow.

Sorry about that, Lucienne.

I'd better stick to
counting calories.

You have become a citizen
of Europe in two days.

Perhaps it was a little fast.

Because we are more
used to the sensation,

it is easier for us to control it.

Sensation?

Of fear, insecurity,

suspicion of everyone, everything.

Maybe I'll grow up to
you someday. I'd like to.

Good night.

Good night, Lindley.

Stop that man. He
tried to kill Bernhardt.

Halt!

'Berlin. Well, not quite.

'Wannsee is as close as you can
bring the Berlin express today.'

- Perrot. Is this guy a Frenchman?
- No. Name's Holzman.

Genuine product. Made in Germany.

'The city itself is some 15 miles off

'by way of the Autobahn.

'When you get there, you
wonder how you can call it a city.

'Berlin, capital of the Third Reich,

'focal point of the rise
and fall of a dictator

'is today a monument of ruins.

'Cities like
Hiroshima have been obliterated.

'But no other city so
mighty as Berlin has fallen so low.

'Less than four years
of wind, rain and sun

'has left a drab,
colourless, dead city in its wake.

'This was one case where justice

'had made the
punishment fit the crime.

'Berlin, capital of a world

'that was to revolve around
the Reich Chancellery,

'around a leader who
stood on a balcony

'and said it would
last for 1,000 years.'

We are going to see each other again?

We'd better. You're the
only guys I know here.

I know so many people you'll
run out of cigarettes.

What is the way to reach you? Just
keep in touch with the French.

'Here was one of Europe's most
beautiful thoroughfares...

'Unter den Linden and
the Brandenburg Gate.

'A spot shadowed by the
celebrated Hotel Adlon,

'operations suspended right now.

'Close at hand to the Reichstag,

'redecorated as a
monument to the Reich,

'within sight of the
towering trees of the Tiergarten

'that had all been used as fire wood.

'Here the friends who had
helped change the scenery

'were to take leave of each other.'

Hey, British!

Are you heading for the base?

Sure are. How are things at home?

Same old cork still floating.

I'll be back in a
jiffy. I must say goodbye.

Are you going to the
military government office?

- Sure. Want a lift?
- Thanks a lot.

We guys got to stick
together. You'll see why.

Hey, Corporal. Wait for one minute.

It's all right. I can explain.

Thank you. I do not need
a defence. Anything wrong?

Bit of a Soviet block.
Better not get involved.

If these men had not
bothered to get involved,

Dr Bernhardt would not be
here as your official guest.

Did British Intelligence clear this?

There are two separate commands.

Well, that's one blessing, anyway.

Good luck to you, sir.

Oh, Max.

None of us got off to a good start,

but I give you my
word, I tried to catch up.

I really tried to figure
out what makes you tick, Max.

What makes all of you tick.

We try to understand you. Why
don't you try to understand us?

Here's my address. You can
reach me there any time.

I treat addresses a little better.

Where will you be, Lucienne?

Nowhere for very long.

Don't you see? There is
nothing one can count on.

No-one's address is dependable.

But if ever the world comes of age,

I will see that you
know where to find me.

Ready, mister?

Sometimes I think we shall never
get together on this earth,

until we find someone
on Mars to hate.

Sometimes I wonder
why we keep trying.

Lindley!

Other times I know
why we keep trying.

I know someday we'll make it.
