Vampire Circus (1972)

[bunniefuu]

[gong crashing]

[birds chirping]

[Jenny humming playful tune]

- Oh, oh, oh!

There you are!
[Jenny giggling]

You didn't think I'd catch you, did you?

Whoop!
- Wee!

[Anna laughing]
Wee!

- Are you happy?
- Yes.

- Are you excited?
- Uh-huh.

- Anna!
[dramatic music]

Anna! Anna!

Anna!

[Albert sobbing]

Please God, no.

[enchanting music]

[blows out flame]

[dramatic music]

[Jenny gasps]

- That's Count Mitterhaus.

- [Jenny] Count Mitterhaus,
I'm Jenny, Jenny Schilt.

[dramatic music]

[Mitterhaus hissing]

- Your child, your child is missing.

[owl hooting in distance]

Your child is missing.

And now your child is missing.

[dramatic music]

Peter, we've got to go on.

We must. Don't you understand that?

You've got to listen to me.

We must go on.

This man is evil.

He's the cause of everything that--

- Albert, he's the Count.

- If we dare touch him,
he'll have us all hanged.

- Your daughter's in there.

I beg of you.

And my wife, Anna.

[enthralling music]

- [Mitterhaus] Anna, one
lust feeds the other.

- Tell him that we must go on.

- Well as Mayor I say, we should go on.

- For the Count to have us all hanged.

- [Schilt] Well, I'm leaving.

- Schilt? Schilt, no, not you, not you.

Your daughter is in there with my wife.

- If your wife's in there,
maybe she wanted to go.

[enthralling music]

[banging on door]
- Heave!

- [breathing heavily] Don't leave me.

Don't leave me.

[dramatic music]

- She's been k*lled.
- k*lled by a vampire!

Anna? Anna!

Anna!

Anna!

Anna! Anna!

You! What have you done with my wife?

- Only what she wanted, schoolmaster.

- Get out of the way, lad!

[man shouts]
[blood squelching]

[groaning weakly]

[man shouts]
[Mitterhaus gasps]

[man screaming]

- Get one behind him!
[shouting]

[man grunting]
[screaming]

[Mitterhaus hissing]

[stake snapping]
[clattering]

- [Peter] His heart, it must be his heart!

[blood squelching]
[Mitterhaus groaning]

[Mitterhaus gasping]

[dramatic music]
[Anna screaming]

- None of you will live.

The town of Stetl will die.

Your children will die

to give me back

my life.

[dramatic music]

[Anna grunting]

[Anna groans]

[Anna groans]

- The Count is dead!

We've k*lled him!

We've rid our village of evil!

[men clamouring]

- [Man] Into the coffin, men!

[sombre music]

[tense music]

- No! Not that way!
- Let go! Let go of me!

- She must die, she's gotta be k*lled.

This way is better.

- Yeah.

- No! No!

No, let go!

Let go!

[belt buckle clattering]

No!

Albert? No.

Don't let them.

[whip cracking]
Stop! Albert?

Albert! Let me go!

Forgive me, Albert!

Ow! Please stop it!

- Stop it! Stop it, please!
- Save me, Albert!

- I beg you, that's enough.

[Anna spits]

[men grunting]
Anna!

- Let her die in there, Albert.

- Die? What about our child?
- Better no mother at all

than a mother who serves the devil.

Destroy the castle!
[men clamouring]

[dramatic music]

[Anna breathing heavily]
[grunting]

- You, put this against the north wall.

- Right!

- Put that in the courtyard.

Here, here, put those on the stairs.

[dreadful music]

- The Circus of Nights.

My cousin,

Emil,

he will know, know what you must do.

[dramatic music]

[Anna sobs]

[glass shattering]

[fuse hissing]

[explosions booming]

[Anna yelps]

[expl*si*n booming]
[Anna screaming]

[fuse hissing]

[explosions booming]

[bat screeching]

[expl*si*n booming]
[fire crackling]

[ominous music]

[bell tolling]

[bell ringing]
[dog barking]

[cart clattering]
[bell ringing]

- Twelve dead, even the priests.

If the lord can't save his own,

God knows what's going to happen.

God only knows how many people
are ill with this thing.

You still say there isn't a curse on us?

- It's a disease, something
that can be stopped.

- It's more than that, and we know it.

And so do all the people
in the villages around.

Why else do you think
they put up roadblocks.

Kept us all pinned in here like lepers.

- They're frightened of
catching the illness.

That's reason enough.

- If it's just an illness,
why can't you cure it?

- 'Cause I don't have
the correct medicine.

- You don't even know what's causing it.

Well, do you?

Admit it!

- No, I don't. I don't have to.

If I can get past the roadblocks,

I can bring back knowledge
and medicines from the capital

to stamp out the disease, whatever it is.

- How do we know you'll come back?

- Would you prefer to go in my place?

- Well, I wouldn't know what
medicines to obtain, would I?

- I thought not.

Now, sign here, please, as your authority.

- Dr. Kersh, no medicines will help us.

Fifteen years ago, we thought
we k*lled a demon,

but he has been waiting
in his castle to k*ll us.

Your children will die.

- Now, stop it. Stop it!

Your two boys, and your
daughter, and my Rosa,

they're all well.

- For how long?

The town of Stetl will die.

- Mitterhaus' curse.

- You weren't there.

You didn't have to risk your life

to drive a stake into his heart.

- I did.

Fifteen years ago we k*lled a man.

There are no vampires,

the doctor told us that and I believe it.

I k*lled a man who seduced

and k*lled the daughters of this village.

- And who helped him, eh?

Forgive me, Albert, I...

- Mitterhaus has left his
curse, nothing supernatural,

you allowed that wreck of
a castle to grow and fester

into a breeding ground for
who knows what diseases.

Vermin and filth, those bats.

- Vampire bats--
- Bats, damn you!

Must you go on believing old wives tales?

[sighs] The vampires
exist only in legends,

the imaginings of sick and
diseased minds, nowhere else.

Legends, nowhere else.

[circus music plays outside]
- The Circus of Nights!

A hundred delights!

The Circus of Nights!

[dog barking]
A hundred delights!

The Circus of Nights!

A hundred delights!

The Circus of Nights!

A hundred delights!

[wagons clattering]
[whimsical circus music]

- Hey, woman! Gypsy woman!

[music box playing circus music]

Gypsy!

Can you hear me?

[music stops]

How did you get past the roadblocks?

Didn't they tell you about us?

- They didn't have to.

Everyone knows Stetl is dying.

[villagers chattering in courtyard]

[panther growling]

[panther snarling]

- Why have you come?

- To steal the money from dead men's eyes.

[circus crew laughing]

[whimsical circus music plays]
- The Circus the Nights!

A hundred delights!

[ducks squawking]

- Well, if they got in, I'll get out.

- Good luck and god speed.

- Is everything ready, Anton?
- Yes, father.

[chickens clucking]

- Doctor! Doctor!

My wife and I, we're both very ill.

You'll have to help us.

Please will you help us.

- My son will be back.

He'll do what he can for you, Heinz.

[dramatic music]

[hooves sloshing]

- [Anton] Look, there's the roadblock.

I'll go first and draw their fire.

- I don't want you to.

- And I don't want to do it.

Do you know another way?
- No.

I'll ride to the left.

- Good luck, Father.

- Luck? Remember, we make our own luck.

- Try and see Dora in the capital.

Tell her she must stay there.

Giddy up.
[horse galloping]

[g*nshots firing]

[horse neighing]
Easy.

Easy, come on, steady. Whoa! [grunting]

[g*nshots firing]

- Hurry, someone's
trying to break through!

Stop! That over there, someone, stop him!

He's getting through!
[g*nshots firing]

- Stop firing!

Wait! It's all right, I'm going back!

[g*nsh*t blasts]

I'm going back!

[whimsical circus music]
[panther roaring]

[audience laughing]

[tiger roaring]

- Boom!
[small explosions pop]

[audience laughing]

[audience applauding]

[strongman grunts]
[audience laughing]

[Michael shouting]

[Michael laughing]
[splashing]

[monkey chittering]

Tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle,
tickle, tickle! [laughs]

- And now, may I present,

your Burgermeister and
his beautiful family.

[circus music plays]

[villagers clapping]

- Hello! Hello, everybody! [chuckling]

- Make way!

Your seat, sir.
- Here we are.

[Peter mumbling]

- And now, I wish to present

an entertainment which has given pleasure

to many of the crowned heads of Europe.

Ladies and gentleman, citizens of Stetl,

tonight for your eyes alone,

Faber and Serena!

[audience clapping]

[whip cracking]
[growling]

[dramatic tribal music]

[forcefully grunts]

[forcefully grunts]

[clothing tears]
[grunting]

[tiger growling]

- Oh, whoa!
- Hmm...

[audience applauding]

Bravo!

- Ah, our hero returns.

How goes the battle?

[audience laughing]

- Well, it goes well.

- Bravo, mon capitaine!

Ah! Go, the enemy is here.

[Michael moaning]
[audience laughing]

- Is it well?

- [sighs] I think he got through.

[whimsical circus music playing]

[audience laughing]

I told him to find Dora
and tell her to stay away.

- Thank you, Anton.

- I love her too.

- I know that.

[Michael thuds]
[audience laughing]

[monkey whooping]
[screeching]

[panther roaring]

- Back, back!

[panther growls]
Down, down. Quietly.

[dramatic music]

[audience gasping]

Emil!
[dramatic music]

[audience gasping]

[audience applauding]

[whimsical circus music restarts]

[suspenseful drum rolling]

[Michael groaning]

[audience clapping]

Ladies and gentleman,
the performance is over.

[villagers chattering]

- Oh, oh!

My son, he's gone!

They've taken him! They've taken Gustav!

She's taken him!

- She?
- We must find him.

We must get him back.

There must be a chance.

- Papa!

Papa, Mama!

I was running to look
into the panther's cage.

Suddenly it was all black and dark,

but this man saved me.

[villagers murmuring]

I don't know how to thank you.

- What is it, Rosa?

- I just...

- Shouldn't you be home?

- Yes, I suppose I should.

- Emil will take you home.

Won't you, Emil?

[ominous music]

[darkly seductive music]

Emil, not yet!

Not yet, Emil. It is not time.

[Rosa screams]

[dramatic music]

- I won't stay at home. I won't! [sobbing]

- Rosa, shh, keep your voice down.

- Please, Mama.

- Oh, Rosa.

Your father doesn't know what time

you came home last night, but I do.

- Oh, Mama.

- A circus performer...

A gypsy, someone we know nothing about.

- He's not.

He's been every where, seen so much.

Not like the boys here. Please!

- [sighs] Sometimes I think please was

the first word you learned to say.

Only because I was so old when you came.

- You weren't old.

You're not old.

- [chuckles] Obviously not.

Or I'd know better than to
let you always have your way.

- [gasps] Thank you, Mama! Thank you!

Thank you, Mama!

Isn't it wonderful?

The circus, isn't it
wonderful having them here?

[Peter chuckling]

[gloomy music]

[rock thudding]

[bats screeching]
[fluttering]

- The sins of the father shall be visited

on the children and their parents.

Fifteen years cousin Mitterhaus, but
now we are here to free you,

to give you life.

- Must they all die?

- Their parents k*lled him.

The Burgermeister,

Hauser,
[villagers gasping]

School teacher Mueller.

- But must they all die?
- All!

[villagers gasping]
[bat fluttering]

- [All] Ooh!

Whoa!

Ooh!

[bat fluttering]

[audience gasping]

Ooh!

Oh!

[murmuring]

[audience applauding]

[whimsical circus music plays]

[performers whoosh]
[audience gasping]

[panther growling]

[panther roars]

- I wonder who he's picked out tonight.

[ominous music]

It's all right, Schilt, there's
nothing to fear, nothing.

- Emil.

Emil!
[panther roars]

[crowd gasping]

[audience applauding]

[whip cracks]

Now for another gilde.
[whimsical circus music]

Some of you may look
into the Mirror of Life.

[audience murmuring]

- And it is only right that
his honour, the Burgermeister,

should be the first to see the light.

Oh, no, sir. Don't you see?

For you sir, everything is free.

[Peter laughing]

[unnerving music]

- Huh. [laughing]

[laughing continues]

[laughing heartily]

- [Rosa] Papa, tell us what do you see.

- It's not life, just
distortions. [laughing]

Oh, there's one more
mirror, then I'm coming out.

- Well, what do you see now, Peter?

- Nothing.

[hair-raising music]

- [Mitterhaus] None of you will live.

The town of Stetl will die.

And your children will die.

Give me back my life.
[Peter's breath trembling]

[dramatic music]
[Peter screams]

- Papa!
- Peter?

- Pa?
- My husband.

[ominous music]

Peter, Peter.

- The Count, Mitterhaus, the curse.

He is here.

- What is it?

What have you done to him?

- Help us take him home.

[dramatic music]

- I warned him the Count
would revenge himself.

- We must get away.

- Don't worry, I arranged
it with the circus people.

[ominous music]

[birds chirping]
[squawking]

[leaves rustling]

[leaves rustling]

- Oh! [thudding]
- Mom!

- Come on, you little...

I've got you, here.

Here, sit there. All right?

- We have passed the roadblock. [claps]

- Oh, bless you.

- Don't bless me, [claps] pay me!

- Hey! Hey, wait a minute!

Don't leave us!

[bird squawking]
[leaves rustling]

[animal squealing]

[panther growling]
[frightening music]

[woman screaming]

[panther growling]
[Michael laughing]

[sinister laughter]

[hysterical laughter]

[Mitterhaus laughing]

- [Mitterhaus] All dead.

- [Gypsy] That will keep the
others from trying to leave.

- [Mitterhaus] Tonight, the children.

- The Circus of Night a hundred delights.

The Circus of Night a hundred delights...

- Now rest, rest.

- Circus of Night a hundred delights.

- What happened to him at the mirrors?

- Now rest.

- Circus of Night a hundred delights.

The Circus of Night a hundred delights.

- Do something, I have to speak to him.

- There's nothing I can do.

- Anton!
- Don't you understand?

He's going to die.

I'll come back tonight.

Try and get Hauser to leave him alone.

Are you and Rosa all right?

- She's asleep.

She stayed out all last night.

I tried to stop her.

I think she was, that man from the circus.

Oh, I know.

He isn't the first.

Oh, I wish they'd never come. [sobs]

[rooster crowing]
[dog barking in distance]

- Give this to Dora.

She wanted her to have it.

- I will.

At the moment, she's safe
in the city, thank God.

[g*nshots firing]
[Dora panting]

[tense music]

[Dora whimpering]

[frightening music]

[Dora gasping]

[Dora sobbing]

- [Man] She came this way.

- [Man 2] Did you see who it was?
- [Man] No.

- But she must still be here about.

- [Man 2] Well, let's go back.

I'm not going any closer to the village.

- Why do you frighten these poor people?

- [Mitterhaus] Fear drives out fear

as death drives out death.

- Where do you come from?

- [Mitterhaus] From
everywhere and nowhere.

Go home to your daughter.
- Dora is not here.

- [Mitterhaus] Not yet, school
teacher. [laughs maniacally]

[breathing heavily]

[cats growling]

[Dora gasps]
- Dora, my child.

- [sighs] Oh.
[panther growls]

- The Schilts, God help them.

- [Hauser] God help us.

- It must have been the men

at one of the roadblocks that k*lled them.

- It was one of the jungle
beasts from the circus.

I should never have let those people stay.

- The circus animals are caged.

They couldn't have done it.

- Then who tore their bodies, Anton?

- Wolves, wild boar?

- No, Anton, you didn't see it.

- Why are you so anxious
to protect the circus?

- I'm just trying to keep

everyone from going mad, that's all.

Well, you were ready to lynch
the gipsies that first night,

and it turned out they
helped find your son.

- Anton, take Dora to the
house, will you? Come.

It might have been men from the roadblock.

Who knows what lengths people
from other villages will go to

to frighten us.

[Hauser sighs]

[rooster crowing]

- Haven't you heard that
the plague is getting worse?

- I missed you so much.

- You shouldn't have come back.

- Anton!

- Didn't my father tell
you in the capital?

- I didn't see him there.

- [Anton] But he did
get through, I saw him.

- All I know is that I had to be with you,

and Father, whatever the risk.

- Oh, Dora.

Do you think I'm trying to hide something?

- How can you be so
sure about the animals?

- All right, I'll prove it to you.

I'll take you to the circus tonight--

- Come along you two.

[horse neighing]

They're angry and irrational
because they're afraid.

They can't understand why
you defend the circus.

- Because the circus is the
one thing that keeps people

from brooding about death and disease.

Well, Helga and Heinrich seem to fly,

and the gypsy woman and her animals,

well, they play with death, they defy it.

- They play no games.

They are death.

[bell ringing]

[horse neighing]

[goose clucking]

[eerie circus music]

- [Anton] The animals can't
harm anyone, they're in cages.

- [Dora] I still think they're
frightening and dangerous.

- Let me show you something interesting.

Nice tiger.

[tiger purring]

[tiger growling]

- Helga!

[growling stops]

- You see?

The animals are quite harmless.

[eerie circus music]

- Did you enjoy the circus?

Where are your mother and father?

- They said we weren't to come.

- [chuckles] But you're young, eh?

And a circus is for the young.

Would you like to see inside the mirror?

- But we don't have any money.

- Ah well, for two brave boys,

I think we can make an exception.

[hair-raising music]

- What's supposed to happen?

- I don't know.

[knocking on mirror]

- Would you like to know how it's done?

- Look, they have no reflection.

[eerie music]

[wind whistling]

[dramatic music]

[Jon screams]

[bat screeching]

[bat screeching]

- And your children will die

to give me back my life.

Hauser's sons are the first
of the children to die.

Who next?

The Burgermeister's daughter, Rosa?

Or the school teachers
daughter, Dora Mueller?

- No.

- I'll fight her!

[gypsy screaming]

Smash what's left of your brains in!

Hurry!

[slamming head]
[Michael groaning]

- You're lying!

You're lying!

You chased those boys
away to avoid the plague.

- You liar!

- And you don't want anyone to know!
- Help me!

- So you blamed it on us!

- Help me!

Help me!

[Hauser groaning]
[gypsy spitting]

- The boys! The boys!

They're here!

They're here, come quickly!

The boys, the boys are here!

[monkey screeching]

[Michael groaning]
[gypsy sobs]

There they are.

[dramatic music]

[Hauser wails]
[sobs]

It must have been the Count.

I've heard it, noises
from underneath here.

The Count, coming back from hell

to do what he swore he would.

[Hauser wails]

- Today it is the Hauser
boys, it'll be my Rosa next.

She stays away all night.

You know it's that panther.

k*ll them, we must k*ll all the animals.

- No, Peter!

- k*ll 'em, k*ll 'em!
- No, please!

Please, stop him.
- Why? He's right.

- Ah, ah, the others are
afraid, like they were before.

But you and I, we know what to do.

- Peter, no, please.

No, Peter, don't. Please, please?

Stop him, please.
- Get off!

- Please...

Help me, please.

- I just heard about the boys.

- Talk to Peter, please. He's sick.

He knows about Rosa.

He'll do something terrible.

- Where have they gone?

To the circus?

[tiger growling]
[monkey screeching]

[woman screaming]

- Come on!

Come on.

[monkey chattering]

- [Peter] sh**t, man, sh**t!

We must k*ll them all.

[g*n firing]

[cats growling]

- k*ll it! k*ll it, man!

[rod clanging]

[g*n firing]

[growls weakly]
[thuds]

- They were gonna take my
daughter, my little girl.

No, I won't let you.
- Pa, no! Papa, no, no!

- sl*t! sl*t, you're trying to save him!

[panther growls]

- No!
[g*n firing]

[dramatic music]

[g*n firing]

[dramatic music]
[Peter thudding]

- [Hauser] Rosa!

- What is it? What's happened?

- It's his heart. He's dead.

- [Gypsy] So are all my animals.

- What have you come to do to us?

- [Gypsy] Don't you know?

[dramatic music]

- Emil?

Emil?

[dramatic music]

Emil.

[sinister music]

[Rosa screaming]

[women screaming]

[audience gasping]

[audience oohing]

[bat screeching]

- Drink the blood, cousin.

Drink deep.

- Live, my love, live.

I have done as Emil told me.

- We have revenged you,

taken their children to give you life.

Tonight, your twins will
k*ll Mueller's child

and you will live.

- Emil?

- Tonight!

[audience gasping]

- Our show must be brief tonight,

but for all who are
willing to pay the price,

we invite you to go
through the Mirror of Life.

[audience murmuring]
- No, no.

- [Heinrich] Dora Mueller.

- [Heinrich And Helga] Dora Mueller.

Dora Mueller.

Dora Mueller.

[suspenseful music]

- Dora!

[mirror clatters]

Dora?

Dora!

Dora?

Dora?

Dora!

Dora!

[dramatic music]

[Dora gasps]

[Heinrich and Helga shrieking]

Dora!
[thudding]

[passionate music]

[ominous music]

- [Emil] It must be tonight!

- But she wears the cross.

- Your mother will be with you,

to tear it from her daughter's neck.

[dramatic music]

[horses galloping]

- We will do what must be
done, Peter, I swear it.

- And Rosa?

- I don't know.
[door opens]

- Leave us.
- Yes, Doctor.

- I wish...

If only I'd returned sooner.

A virulent strain of
rabies carried by bats.

My test proved it.

The emperor himself saw that
I had everything we need

and provided me with these
soldiers to get me back safely.

- Tell them the rest.

- I mocked at talk of vampires
and the baron's curse.

I was wrong.

I've seen proof, terrifying proof.

People have been k*lled
in towns and villages,

k*lled by vampires.

And each place where a
victim has been reported,

the Circus of Nights have stayed

for a day or two, then moved on.

- They've been here for a week. Why?

- One of them, the one called Emil,

is a kinsmen of Count Mitterhaus.

- We have two plagues to fight.

- We must distribute the
medicines to the ill.

- And rid ourselves of this
second sickness,

for good.

- Whatever it was, you're
safe here in your own home.

- I keep feeling it's important for me

to remember what happened.

[Anton sighs]

- Do you know where the
key to this door is?

- Anton,

I see myself

near the castle.

No!

[gasps] No, no, under the castle.

No. Oh, no, I can't remember.

I must remember.

[window opens]

- [Woman] God bless you for this help.

- How many are sick?
- Two.

- It's got something to do with the twins.

Twins, they were leaving. Then...

God damn them!

[thudding upstairs]
What's that?

- It's only the boarding
students upstairs.

[children laughing upstairs]
[both chuckle]

- I'm getting so jumpy,
you'll have to protect me.

- Well, what from? [laughs]

What from?

[student playing classical piano]

[crickets chirping]
[dog barking in distance]

- The students, upstairs.

[students giggling]
[playing piano]

[kids screaming]
[items crashing]

- No, stay there!

[cat growling]

Now, let me in or I'll break it down!

Now, let me in!
[banging on door]

What's happening in there?

Open the--
[students screaming]

What's happening? Let me in!
[banging]

[cat growling]
[girl screaming]

[suspenseful music]

- Anton?

Anton?

[door creaking]

Anton!

Anton!

Anton!

[Dora whimpering]

Anton! Anton!

- Louder.
[Dora gasps]

Louder, no one can hear.

[gypsy sobbing]

[bell tolling]

Oh, no. Look what you did!

- In the school chapel, quickly!

- Dora.

- Stay here and distribute the medicine.
- Right.

- Dora, it's all right.
[Gerta sobbing]

[Anton chuckles]

- Are you all right?

- Thank God you are.

The students upstairs, they're all dead.

- Kersh? Dr. Kersh?

- I didn't think she'd let them harm you.

- Why? Who is she?

Who is she?

- Someone who should
have died 15 years ago.

- [Kersh] All the bodies
have been torn to pieces.

- We have to get back to the
village, will you be all right?

- Gerta, stay with her.

- Here, take this.

- Don't worry.

Lock and bar the doors behind us

and close the shutters, all right?

- Come, Anton, we must
finish it before dawn

or they'll escape.

We must finish it before dawn.

Take no chances.

Stay together.

Be constantly on guard and
remember how many there are.

Not all of them are vampires,
but all of them are dangerous.

The dancers, the strongman, and the dwarf,

Emil, and the gypsy.

- And the Count.
- What?

- And your children will die
to bring me back to life.

That's why they've
remained here for so long.

Don't you understand that?

[ominous music]

- The Count, back from the dead.

[door clattering]
[banging]

- In the name of Jesus, leave us!

Leave us!

[dramatic music]

Please leave us.

[tense music]

[peaceful music]

Please leave us alone.

[strongman chuckles]
Please.

Go back to them.

[cross crunching]

[Gerta screaming]

[dramatic music]

- Anna,

damn you!

- Go back to the caravans, find
Michael and bring him here.

[villagers clamouring]

- Doctor! Doctor, over here!

It's the dancers.

[dramatic music]

- Human beings bled like
animals to feed the vampires.

- We must find the others!

- We must destroy the circus.

Burn them out!

- [Soldier] Hold fast or I'll fire!
- Wait!

- Show us where they are
and we'll spare you.

Show us!

[tense music]

[g*n firing]
[groaning]

[dramatic music]

- [Mitterhaus] None of you will live.

The town of Stetl will die.

And you will die.

- Daughter!
