[bunniefuu]

.

* Exciting title music *

One only truly lives in the moments
when one is ready to die.

Where life and death
intersect ...

... our true selves are revealed.

* Clicking, groaning *

Who we really are.

* Moaning *

Everything else is a masquerade.

* Wind whistling *

* Tense music *

* Murmuring voices *

[Swiss German] Excuse me.

Do you need help?
- Isn't he too heavy for you?

* Laughter *
We're not talking about you guys.

At least he's trying. Thank you.

Leave?
- Yes, exactly.

Where are you stationed?
- Basel.



Germans
and French are at each other's throats.

You can't imagine
what's happening at the border.

And you? Where are you from?

Western Front. Behind Verdun.
- Seriously?

Field hospital, Infantry Regiment
"King of Württemberg".

All the severe cases
ended up with us.

Shall we go?

I have to get off
at the next stop.

Johanna!

* Relieved laughter *

Finally!

[Quietly] Sister.

[Sighs] I prayed every day
for you to come back unharmed.

Both of you.

* Soft laughter *

Thank you for helping me.
- [Whispers] Yes.

But why here and not at home?

We've arranged a private room for you
with the deaconesses.

With a very experienced midwife.
Come ...

Everything will be fine.

* Johanna screams loudly. *
[Woman] Push!

Good.

Push.

The head is out.
* Screaming *

The head is already out.

Good. Come on, one more time!

* Screaming *

* Baby cries. *

A girl.
- Elli.

Elli. Her name is Elli.

* Emotional music *

Father?

Where are you taking her?

* Tense music *

Johanna! It's better this way.

For everyone.
- Johanna.

You don't have a child.

Is that clear?

* Whimpering *

* Johanna screams. *

* Title music *

* Calm music *

Why aren't you eating, Johanna?

I'm tired.

She doesn't want to marry Thanner.

Me neither.

You were allowed to join the Red Cross mission if you get married. That's final!

Klara? Go with your grandfather.

And wash your hands.
- Yes, Mom.

We need the councilor for the debts.

His expertise as a financier, his connections.

If Cronwald goes bankrupt,

our entire staff will be on the streets.

And us with them.

Thanner looks good,

and he has always wanted you.

Sometimes you have to be content.

Content? You took my daughter away from me!

I thought,
Father would let it go.

As always!
- You betrayed me!

You had something
with a German soldier.

Erich and I loved each other.
- Johanna, your Erich ... is dead!

Maybe I should run away.
- Stop!

Everyone knows the future wife of the councilor.

You have no money of your own,
they will find you anywhere.

Father protects you,
understand that finally.

What decent man
would still take someone like you?

Someone like me?

Just say w*r wh*re.

A w*r wh*re?

Yes.

That's you.

And only thanks to Father
no one knows.

* Tense music *

[Man] Rib shears.

Rib shears!

Lord,
what is going on with you today?

Fixing.

Swab.

*Quiet music*

Dear Mr. Councillor!
How good you look today again.

Good morning, Doctor.
- Good morning.

*Laughing in the background*
Morning.

Dr. Mangold, shall we celebrate together?

Are you allowed to go to the holy halls for Christmas dinner?

Not that you
still have a place in the sun

want to be among the fine people.

Absolutely fabulous.

Increase the dose by 3 g.

Madame?
Translation: Madam?

Does that hurt?

Can you feel that?

Then you will be ready soon.

Where is Mr. Kohlmann?

[Guy] Grenade!

*Clatter*
Everyone take cover!

[Professor] Hold him tight!

You must do something! Help me!

Do something!
- Stay calm!

Stop!
- Please!

Listen to me. Listen to me.

Everything is fine, soldier.

The grenade was a dud.
- What?

Everyone survived.
It's over.

It's over.
- What?

Dr. Mangold is here.
Don't you recognize him?

Mangold?
- Kohlmann, everything is fine.

Sister Johanna, thank you.

Come.

* Christmas piano music *

[Swiss German] The government

wanted to take in wounded
from all parties.

Modest price to keep Switzerland out of the w*r.

And the beds in your health resort are now better occupied again.

Yes.

And who is now celebrating in our midst,
as a matter of course?

All men who have injured themselves in w*r.

Isn't that right, Chief of Police?

Simulators and deserters.
- Not in my experience.

Johanna has been working for the professor again since returning.

Hm.

My fiancée is certainly right.
There are also socialists among them.

* Smug laughter *

Is there already a date set for the wedding, Mr. Councilor?

In ten weeks, before the elections, seems like a good time for us.

Mhm.

As a female member of the cantonal parliament, you will no longer have to work.

How would that look?

*Soft laughter*
But I want to.

She doesn't understand much about politics.
- We women don't have to either.

Where my wife is right,
she is right.

So that our two families become even closer connected.

Please excuse me.

Good evening, Miss Gabathuler.

Quiet Jazz

A schnapps, please.

* Tense music *

Thank you.

Exciting music

Loud women's laughter

I did not want to interrupt.

Continue.

I grabbed my comrade by the shoulder.

and crawled me with a gas mask through the barbed wire.

Above me the enemy's fire.
It was hell.

Ah, you are a hero, Schulze.

From soldier to assistant of the German Consul, impressive.

Countess, you should be in bed.

I should lie in the sun, say the doctors. But is it shining?

My favorite sister,

the daughter of the house, a saint.

The night belongs to me, my love.
Join us.

My family is waiting.
- No objections!

Just because the world is at w*r,

the champagne must not get warm.

Your enemy is tuberculosis ...

and not the Frenchman's.

Just drink.
The summer will teach you a lesson.

I ask you, Schulze.

The battle was a m*ssacre, zero elegance.



West and East fronts
remain quiet.

w*r knows only losers.
It should be ended.

No, on the contrary, the emperor must release the submarines.

and break through the British blockade.

They were also in the w*r.
What is your opinion?

Wouldn't that unnecessarily provoke the Americans? - Well done!

Johanna?

Here you are.
Your father is ready.

Well then.

[English] At Christmas
there is here on neutral ground

no nations.

Neither British, French
nor German, only Christians.

To conclude our contemplative meal, now a special contribution.

from the youngest offspring of our family.

Please!

# Silent Night,

# Holy Night.

# All is calm, all is bright

# Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child.

# Holy infant so tender and mild,
* Tense sounds *

# Sleep in heavenly peace.

# Sleep in heavenly peace ...

* Sounds fade away. *

* Tense music
overwhelms all sounds. *

[Woman] Miss Gabathuler?

[Swiss German] Is everything alright?

* Panting *

* Sniffling *
What are you doing out here?

I am supposed to bring you this,
a letter.

From Countess von Hausner.

Thank you. You can go.

"I know where your child is."

"Meeting after morning visit,
in my room. Countess."

* Dramatic music *

* Crows cawing. *

* g*nsh*t echoes. *

* Suspenseful music *

[Man, High German]
Stop right there, you traitor!

* g*nsh*t *

* Panting *

I... I'm sorry.

I... I needed money.
There was no other way.

The Consul, our superior,
I need to speak to him.

Where is the list,
you traitorous comrade?

Wh... wh...

Where is the list of agents
with our identities?

Alright then.

Alright then.

Here...

* Groaning *

* Ominous sounds *

* Tense music *

Countess?

* Soft coughing *

* Coughing *

Countess?

Do you... know something about my child?

My daughter?
- Johanna?

* Suspenseful sounds *

Sit down, now!

* Fearful gasping *
Have you no honor at all?

What is this? Who are you?

You are treating the wife of the British General
with the Professor,

Helen Taylor.

The General
is meeting for curling today.

And you look
as always after his wife.

* Coughing *

Drug her with the sedative
and go to the General's office.

Open it
with a key from your father.

I can't do that.

* Wheezing cough *

By the fireplace, Taylor has hidden the key
to the safe.

Open the safe and
photograph Taylor's calendar.

Appointments, contacts, everything.

I won't do that.
- He knows everything.

Also about your child.
- Shut up!

* Coughing *

No police.

We are watching you.

One wrong word,
and the Countess is dead.

And then you will never know
where your child is.

* Ominous music *

The nurse will do
what we demand.

And Schulze
lies dead in a ravine.

Very good.

This traitor
has endangered us all, Franz.

In the West, the English
and French are bolstering their troops.

In the East, the Russians
hold a knife to our throat.

When does your mission
with Gabathuler begin? - Tonight.

Consul.

Good job, Franz.

No problem, Countess.

* Heavy breathing *

* Tense music *

* Exciting music *

Sister Johanna!
- Good evening, Zaire!

How is Mrs. Taylor?

Well, she's doing better.

Your new medicine.

For after the operation.

* Tense music *

Thank you.

Thank you.

* Tense music *

* Glass clinking *

* Soft breathing *

Johanna is doing
a really good job.

We'll see.

* Creaking *

* Shaky breathing *

* Tense music *

* Groaning *

* Exciting sounds *

"Belova's Ball. Mission H."

Where are you, Johanna?

Taking a picture of a calendar
can't take that long.

* Exciting music *

* Clicking *

* Hastily breathing *

* Nervous panting *

* Door opens *

What happened?

* Incomprehensible babbling *
In here!

Schulze!

You said, surviving the fall
was impossible.

* Wheezing *
He has lost a lot of blood.

He is hypothermic.

We need to stop the bleeding!

Hold with both hands.

Don't move now.

What's your blood type?
- What?

You were a soldier. You know it.
- B.

Then he could die.
Mine is O.

The syringe.
- What?

The syringe! There!

What now?

What ... now?

* Murmuring voices *

* Tense music *

Another sleepless night, Doctor?
- Sir Director.

Sir Councillor, this is Dr. Mangold,

an authority in surgery,
was in Zurich with Prof. Sauerbruch.

Ah, my fiancée Johanna
works for you?

Indeed.

* Painful groaning *

* Tense music *

"Agents
of the German intelligence service."

* Gloomy music *
She has the list.

Ilse!

Countess von Hausner.

* Shaky breathing *

Damn!

* Tense music *

[Franz] She will betray us.

If necessary, you sh**t her.

* Loading sound *

Sister Johanna?

A graze wound in the upper abdomen.
I removed the b*llet.

For God's sake!

* Heavy breathing *

Damn!

That was you?

That ...

That is excellent work.

He is stable and needs
to be medically monitored.

Exciting music

First floor.

Did you have a pleasant evening, Miss Gabathuler?

Yes, thank you.

*Quiet music*

Crying

Intense sobbing

Tense music

You could have at least warmed up my milk.

I know that you work for the German secret service.

Where is my child?

Where do you know about my daughter from?

You think you have me in your hand,

because you have the list.

Taylor has contact with the French and the Russians.

He is a key figure of the British.

with direct line
to the Prime Minister.

I don't want to know any of that.

Taylor has previously fought at the Somme and in Africa.

before he was transported to Switzerland.

Only you have come close to this beast so far.

Bravo!
- Let it go.

I am not naive.
And you are not sick.

You know my X-rays.
- They could be anyone's.

Do you want to sh**t me like this?

Stop!

Do you want to know where your daughter is?

In a valley nearby.

No, my father gave them to the church.

He says, not even he knows where she is ...

* Click *
The list!

*Moan*
Do it.

But then you will never find out what Taylor is up to.

Mission H. Does that mean anything to you?

They say where my daughter is, and I want 2,000 francs.

Hm.
- Hm!

You want to leave your fiancé.

and run away with your daughter?

That would be child abduction.

You were constantly on the run.

Is this what you want for the little one?

And when they catch you,
and they will eventually,

Are you going to the mental hospital or to prison

and your child into a home.

You will get your 2,000 francs.

And 500 francs

for any additional information
about Taylor.

Should I work for you?
- You are talented.

And you need time and money to prepare your escape.

And above all, you need a new identity.

And I can get that for you too.

Think about it.

Next time you threaten someone,

make sure you unlock the weapon first.

* The door is closed. *

* Calm piano music *

Go!

Thanks to Johanna's help, Schulze survived.

That's why I had to eliminate him, personally this time.

* Horses neighing. *

In Davos, people don't die.

I took the list of our names from Johanna.

But she knows too much. We should eliminate her.

We will do that as soon as we no longer need her.

Why are we paying her?

We could blackmail her with her child.

How unimaginative.

Why should we make an enemy,

when we have something much stronger to offer?

Stronger than blackmail?

* Tense music *

Hope, gentlemen.

Hope.

The Donatsch.

Their daughter Vreni works with us at Cronwald.

My father leases the farm to them.

* Cows mooing. *

* Wind whistling. *

* Exciting music *

* Muffled baby crying *

How do I know ...

For a month now, Donatsch has been sending money to your sister.

* Melancholic piano music *

Vreni, bring the blanket! - [Woman] I'm coming.

Yes, yes, everything is fine, Elli.

* Emotional music * Yes, everything is fine.

* Baby crying. * Yes, everything is fine.

[Swiss German] I have to go to her! - No, Johanna, wait!

She would immediately hand you over to your father.

You only have one chance.

Hm?

* Exciting music *

* Exciting theme music *

Sister Johanna, may I have this dance?

Dr. Mangold?

Only I believe in you

and can offer you a new life with Elli.
