A Voice in the Night (1941)

[bunniefuu]

Heil Hitler!

Heil Hitler!

-In your opinion Herr Dr

-He's been talking too much

He has to speak in Munich on Thursday

Impossible,no public appearances

for at least 10 days

I'd thought you'd say that

He won't listen to us

Has the heat turned up,

the rooms like an oven

-Just what I was going to say

-Exactly what I did say

-Well,Heil Hitler!

-Heil Hitler-Heil Hitler

Herr Roeder

There you are,Rabenau

I suppose you're going to tell

me he can't speak on Thursday

If he does,I won't answer

for the consequences

I knew it,now Goering and

Goebbels will both want to deputize

Why not a duet?

I'm afraid there might be

a little lacking in harmony

Good bye

BTW I haven't seen you since

your wedding,my congratulations

Thank you

Ought to be some restrictions

on you Austrians

carrying off all the beauty of Berlin

More restrictions

What can a poor Prussian policeman

hope to do against your fatal charm?

Why not use your powers of arrest?

-Remember me to Irena,won't you?

-Yes I will

Open

Yes,that's a little inflamed

Say A

A

-Again

-Ninety nine

I'd have you know my other patients

treat with me with some respect

They are not married to you,

darling,at least I hope they are not

Seriously you can't afford to take

chances now you're in rehearsal

I've just been telling that

to another celebrity

Who?

Sc ch,we are indisposed

Oh dear,I hope it's nothing serious?

He has what it's called

laryngismus stridulus

My goodness what it's first name?

If you had it,it would be a sore throat

Oh,darling you are silly

-Otto!

-Irena

Darling!

I thought you were not

arriving until tomorrow

Hello Otto,what sort of

time did you have in Italy?

Marvelous,thanks

What do you got there? A prix de Rome?

No,I just missed it

Well,lets have a look at them anyway

Oh,that's delightful

Isn't that cow rather anemic?

Speaking as a throat specialist or a vet?

Rebuffed again,I'd just had

one from Mrs Roeder

Done you good,darling

Thank you very much

Now then,now then,time you're off

Hello Mr Otto,glad to see you back

Now don't you forget

you've got two calls to make

before you go to your club

there's your coat and there's your flower

Thank you

That club,why has it be tonight

It's only once a year,my sweet

I'll be back to see

the new year in with you

You stay,won't you Otto?

I'd love to

I want to make the final

diagnosis of that cow

Karl

Your flower

One day I'll come and spy on you

You'd be bored to death

we just sit round talking rather pompously

trying to pretend we

are still at Heidelberg

That's what you tell your wives

Tell me about your work

Oh,what are you looking at?

I had to watch that sort of

thing the whole time out in Italy

Well,do watching now darling

You can do it

Suppose I shall

I shall be rather silly

Probably make you very fit

Get rid a little of this

I must say they do look rather good

One,two,three,four,five,six,

seven only eight tonight,Sebastian

Yes,Sir

Large Muencher, please

Hello Franz,hello Josef

Wonderful platform for workmen

No unemployment, all you see it's

what's in front of your face

Hello Karl

-Hello Heini

-Hello Karl

No,no, you need know the rules

no politics,isn't it so,Karl?

Absolutely,you should do as

I do leave politics to politicians

There you are,what did I tell you

-Your,beer,Sir

-Thanks

-Telephone,Sir

-Thank you

Well,I leave him to you

It's all very well he's joking

Why is it that bad comedians

are gloomy on the stage

and good comedians,like

you my dear Emil, are gloomier

Karl,I'm just telling Franz

how I got this,you remember?

I remember yours most attractive

Karl,gruss

-Hello,Karl

-Hello Rudolf

When did you get back?

What was America like?

I don't know I went to New York

No need to ask if married life suits you

Heavens,this is as obvious as all that

Nothing could have pleased me better

Hello,Father

-Beer?

-Well,just a large one

Sebastian

Gustav

Ah Rudolf,excuse me one moment

Well,how are you after

your American triumphs?

Hello,Father

Isn't it extraordinary always

bottom of the class

Now look at him lightning a 3 mark cigar

Yes,you remember he never

could do a simple equation

and now he can make a million

vanish right under your eyes

Can you never know what's happen to it

High finance and mathematics,

Father,have nothing in common

Judging by your record it certainly haven't

What is it Heini,has she

canceled that supper date?

Oh,no as a matter of fact it was the

Gestapo

The want me there now

It is something I

Probably a driving offense

or something like that

Expect I'll be back in 20 minutes

In case I'm not in time,Happy New Year

One,two,three only four tonight,Sebastian

I'm afraid so,Sir

Large Munchener

Father

-Emil

-Hello Karl

Rudolf

I must say these reunions give me a

slight sense of decreasing exhilaration

I never realized that this

room was so large

Let's get rid of some of those chairs

-Any news of Heini?

-No

No news

Your beer,Sir

Cheer up Sebastian take a drink with it

Oh thank you very much,Sir

We are here anyway

Emil are your audiences still

hanging on every word you sing?

I'm afraid not there's are words I sing

more likely to hang me

Don't sing

Some actors I know might

be improved by hanging

Really,Father,remember you

thought that most unchristian sentiment

Gentlemen

Sebastian

Gentlemen I didn't mean tell you

until the end of the evening

But I'm afraid that this is our last night

We have orders to close the whole club

Student meeting are forbidden now Dr

But I

I would like to say how much

I've enjoyed serving you,gentlemen

After that I don't think

we can pretend anymore

No,what good are meeting places for friends

When one can't be sure any longer

who is your friend,I'm going home

-Good night,Father

-Good night,Emil

-Coming,Rudolph

-Yes-Good night,Karl

Bye Emil

Oh,I must be getting along to a church

You're coming to watch service,aren't you?

Yes I hope to bring my wife with me

If I can get her away from theater in time

-Let's see she is playing in

-Iphigenia

Oh yes of course

Iphigenia

I should be glad if you'd come

There's nothing wrong,Father?

No,no,nothing only

I should just be glad if you could come

-How much have you seen?

-Last act

-You are wonderful

-Oh wasn't very very bad

The moment I saw the Fuhrer I collapsed

She's just coming

-Hello,Otto

-Hello

You're rather quickly

I had I'm just staying on duty

-Very pretty

-What do you think of my sets?

I liked them

Me?

You're all right

You beast

Actually I thought you were

frightfully good

Didn't you Hanna?

I've seen her worse

Take a week's notice

The Fuhrer thought you were marvelous

How do you know?

I was watching him the whole time

You must found the play very exciting

I can always see it again

You know that uniform is very becoming

Glad you like it

I do indeed,have you've been

doing any painting lately?

I haven't much time for

that sort of things nowadays

No I suppose not

-Good night,Irena

-Good night,darling

-Good night Karl

-Good night Otto

When the crowd comes in

you won't let them keep you

for too long,will you?

-No,of course not

-Give me one of those

Thank you

-Do and get yourself a drink

-Yes

Hanna,see who that is will you?

Rabenau

Ask him to come in

Willie,I'm glad to see you

More wonderful than ever

I was enchanted

Good evening Roeder

I hope I'm not in the way

No one could be more welcome

Let me give you a drink

On this occasion I think I must

Actually this is an official visit

but we must just drink a toast

The new director of popular patron

Our most distinguished actress

and producer,Frau Irena Roeder

You

You mean me?

But

I can't believe it

Karl,did you hear what he said?

Aren't you drinking the toast?

To you my darling

Taken my breath away

Der fuhrer wants to

congratulate you himself

I'm here to take you to

the chancellery at once

Of course I'll be as quick as I can

There's a whole crowd of them

outside,you have to see them

Oh dear,I'm afraid I must

Give me a minute

I'll be waiting for you in the car,Irena

We'll have to celebrate our

new year tomorrow

Oh,darling I am sorry

-What could I do

-Never mind

You'll be able to meet Father

Landbach some other time

You're going anyway?

Otherwise he'll be brokenhearted

-I'll be thinking of you at midnight

-Oh,darling

Hanna,you let them in

Oh,good evening,Dr Roeder

My dear you were divine my husband

stayed away from staff to see you

My dear brethren

Before I begin my address this evening

I want to tell you of something

something which I'm afraid will

distress you as it has distressed me

our good friend Father Brandt

who is well known to

and loved by many of us

has been removed from his parish

It is said that he was an

enemy of the Reich

A phrase we've lately heard

used of many of our brethren

but one which we who knew him best

will I think find it difficult to believe

I intend to ask you

prayers for Father Brandt

But before I do so

I feel it my duty to

give any who may wish

the opportunity of leaving now

I am glad so many of you will

give him a benefit of your prayers

He is in need of them

In asking our Mighty God to protect him

Shut up and come on down

I would ask you to intercede also

for those others who have preceded him

Stop him,come down

Friz Felderberg Johann Schmalz

Clear the church

Heinrich Meindorf

Emil Sonbach

Hans Feldman

Oscar Brandt

Fritz Schulz

Friedrich Mann

Herman Geldt

for those I have named I have asked

for blessing of our heavenly Father

Come along hurry up clear the church

Come on you get out

All right Hanna,good night,

see you in the morning

It wasn't nearly so alarming as I expected

He was most enthusiastic

about the performance

He couldn't have been more kind

Everyone was there,Goring and his

wife and nearly all party leaders

I can have my own offices

and all the staff I want

Are you listening?

Yes,of course

My first thing is Stuttgart

just think what a city

Any producer would give his soul

for let lose on a job like that

Apparently there is to be no restrictions

as regards expenses or labor

I've been thinking that it'll be

Darling,you're not listening

What's the matter?

I'm sorry,my sweet,I saw something

this evening which upsets me rather

Of what?

Oh,just a boy I used to

know behaving horribly

Who?

Let's not talk about it,on with

what you were saying

I hardly know what I am saying

I can't believe it

I can quite believe it myself

You are pleased though,aren't you?

You want me to be?

Oh,of course I do

The only thing that matters

Then you go ahead

A few more people like you at the

head of things,we might be a lot better off

Oh dear

Sounds very solemn

Being married to a high government

official is a very solemn business

Karl

This job won't make any

difference between us

Of course not

And subversive remarks from the pulpit

so inflamed the congregation

the priest was injured

Fatally

Fortunately stormtroopers

were able to restore order

But it is evident that scrupulous agitators

can no longer depend on their

cloth to protect them

from the indignation of the people

And here is the actual report,Sir

They went too far and

accidentally k*lled him

A little overenthusiastic

It is evident that unscrupulous agitators

can no longer depend on

their cloth to protect them

from the indignation of the people

Landbach's epitaph

He'll get no more

And we are responsible

We?

People like us criticizing,

grumbling and doing nothing

We are stifled my friend

What can we do?

Still people with a sense of decency

like you and Fenner

there must be others if

we could only reach them

Who's that?

I don't know

What are you doing?

Sorry,Sir didn't think I'd disturb you

You could hear us in the

next room,couldn't you?

No,Sir

Why are you here there's

nothing wrong with the radio?

Just an ordinary routine inspection,Sir

It's all in order

I see

Quite an interesting job yours

And well paid

I don't know so much about that,Sir

I do manage to pick up

a little bit on the side

Doing what?

Help a friend of mine

build sets in the evening

A budding Marconi

Wish I was,Sir

I think he was about the greatest

man who ever lived

You know,I shouldn't let the

Gestapo hear you say that

I didn't mean anything

You won't say anything,Sir,will you

You see I've been trying to

get license to build sets on my own

well it's hard enough unless you got a pull

Starting up yourself?

I want to,Sir,yes

You're a married man?

Going to be,next month,Sir

I might be able to put in a

word for you for that license

Thank you,Sir

-Whats your name?

-Hans Glaser,Sir

Al right,you drop me a

line tell me all about it

Yes,Sir

-Thank you,Sir,good morning

-Good bye

There's one they haven't spoiled

-Yes

-Yes

But it's a nice thing we decided

that an ordinary workman could not

scare us out of our lives

-Hello Fritz

-Good morning,Hans

Give me half a dozen,will you

Hey

-Hans,someone might see us

-Who cares

-Elly,I've got some wonderful news

-What?

No,I don't think you ought to know

Oh,please,please tell me

All right,listen

Elly,here you are children

A nice hot lunch

Sausages,potatoes and sauerkraut

You shouldn't have bothered

Something colder could have

been quite good enough

Rubbish,you won't feeding up

Well I can't stay,Elly

I've got lot's to,and I don't

like leaving the flat too long

with that wretched Frau Lehman

nosing about like she does

Do you know I think that woman is actually

capable of raiding our larder

-Nonsense granny

-Oh yes she is

I've got some very special for you tonight

-Don't you be late either of you

-We won't-Good bye

Good bye,granny

Come on you must tell me

-Guess whom I've been just talking to?

-No,who?

-Have you London Times please?

-I'm sorry,Sir,it's been confiscated today

What again?

Now tell me who was it?

Doctor Karl Roeder

The great specialist

-No

-Yes

What's more he's going to

get me a radio sales license

Hans,that's wonderful

I should think it is

We can get get married

Right away

I'll make the finest sets on the market

You'll have a real diamond ring

Yes I had a long talk with Roeder

He asked my opinion of all sort of things

Not really?

Yes he was most impressed

You know when a chap is

seen with people like Roeder

It's nothing we can't do

We might even control the world's radio

Hans,I think you're wonderful

Watch one now for Hans

flight,see you tonight

Good bye

-Good afternoon,Frau Schmidt

-Good afternoon,Frau Lehman

I suppose you haven't got

a bit lard in that bag,Frau Schmidt

-No I have not

-Oh,Frau Schmidt

-Just a tiny,please

-No

You had all of mine last week

That's it,is it?

Living on the fat of the land

and you can't grant me

a little piece of lard

See your neighbour starve would

you never raise a finger to help her?

Now look here

You know very well I've no lard to give you

after all you've got as much as to

spend on food as I have as you didn't

-Well,out with it

-Well,spend it differently

So,now I can't have a drop

or two to keep my strength up

You let me starve in the gutter,I suppose

Because Judgment you're asking for

The Judgment

What a type that hag

My lard

"Mightiest nation in the world"

"Our great fuhrer as given

us new hope and a new faith"

"and Germany's destiny

will be the world's destiny"

"On est entendre Fleur

du mal tango de Brazil"

"et maintenant,chere auditeur

vous ecoutez a passe de muse quickstep"

You see what did I tell you

-All listening to foreign stations

-Shut up

"vous ecoutez maintenant une

autre information Washington.."

But I haven't heard

anything it was just the music

You seem to follow foreign broadcast

-Take her away

-Oh no

No please just a moment

I can explain,don't you understand

I was only listening to the music

I wasn’t do anything,oh Elly

Granny they're taking you

Who are you?

She's my granny what's been happening

What's the matter,where are they taking her

Quite calm,listen,there's nothing to

worry about,just a matter of routine

We'll take her to the police station,

where she'll answer a few questions

She'll be back in an hour

Now if you want to help your grandma

This is would you could do it,

tell me a little about her

Hello darling I thought you

were going out to Grunewald

I got Ludwig to go for me

So I could spend a little time with you

Thank you,darling

There's a wagon load of

fan mail for you over there

I look at it presently for just

two minutes I want to look at you

-What sort of morning?

-Wonderful

Now I'm married to the Reichsdirector

of Popular Pageantry

I could have charged double fees

You remember this

Sorry I can't dine with you tonight

-Oh hello

-I'm just going on duty

You're always going on duty

What is it this time?

-Just cleaning up

-Cleaning up?

-Like the other evening

-What do you mean?

Ask Otto

I do my duty and obey orders

Even when duties mean smashing up churches

and beating various people to death

He was an enemy of the state

even if he was friend of yours

But his death was an accident

Was it?

Does it occur to you that

he was doing his duty too

Duty? His duty was to his state

Not to his conscience?

If it wasn't for your position he would

be put away for saying less than that?

-You are just...

-Otto I'd better think you go

What was all that about?

The time they'll finished with him

he'll have no more soul than a sheep

You've seen what's happening to him

it's happening to thousands like him

Blind obedience for a rule

of force and terrorism

Frightening

What has Otto done?

He's the boy I told you

about the other evening

He was in the raid on Landbach's church

He was only obeying his orders

Oh,no he wasn't

I was there I saw the look on his face

He was enjoying himself

But if,it was the congregation

that attacked Landbach

Do you really believe that?

Hello

Who?

Oh yes I remember

What's the address?

Right,I'll come along

Sorry,Irena,I have to go

Something rather serious

Irena

I'd like you to do something

I'd like you to come with me

You might be able to help

It's a young girl

Well,of course I will

If I'm being of any use

It's the most monstrous

thing I've ever heard of

I do know how you must feel

That man won't go unpunished

that I promise you

I'm going to Herr Rabenau's office now

I'm staying here for a little

And I'm going straight to the Gestapo

What good that'll do?

Why should that fuffy devil

smash our lives and get away with it

-He shan’t do it..

-Steady

Get hold over yourself

What good will that do?

You'd only be shot or put

into a concentration camp

You wouldn't be much good to Elly there

You got to help her now

-Get on with your work

-My work

Building radios then to

shot their lies through

Sir,there is not a word of

truth in what she says

I'm not lying,he's the one that's

lying and you're all trying to hush it up

It's always the same

they can do anything if they are in uniform

and nothing ever happens to them

Nothing to do with the case be quiet

I won't be quiet I'm not the

only one and you know it

It isn't the first time you

try to hush things up

What abut the girl who

worked with Schwartzes?

And the Jewish tailor in the Oldergatz

And the priest,they

m*rder*d Father Landbach

You're just a g*ng of murderers

and bullies,you dirty swine

You think nobody can ever touch you

but I'll tell everyone,

I'll shriek it everywhere

-Is it over?

-Yes,and the man will be made an example of

Poor child,come along

This is Dr Weiner

How do you do

I've just just been telling

Fraulein Schmidt

she's helped us tremendously

and we are very much obliged to you Irena

for bringing this to our notice

-Can I take her away now?

-I shouldn't advice

I've just given her a sedative

You'll see it's been a great

ordeal for her,poor child

We proposing to send her to a rest home

at Zell am see,at the state's

expense of course

That is good of you

The least we can do

When will she be going?

At once

Her fiance is outside could

she say goodbye to him?

By all means,Dr perhaps you go with her

What's happened?

She's got a little overwrought

The doctor's given her

something to quiet her

Can she come with me now?

Well,not just it

she's going to a rest home

for a little while,isn't she Dr?

Yes,we'll take great care of her

When she comes back she'll

be so well you won't know her

Doctor

-Good bye,Elly

-Good bye,Hans

Good bye

Hans

Oh Ellie,get well soon

You must admit that they

behaved very handsomely

Yes

They've been kind and generous

and done everything in their

power to make amends

I don't deny it

No,but you got reservations

why don't you admit

that you've been entirely wrong

and your attitude is most unfair

Oh but I do in this instance

I was completely wrong

All you said is perfectly true

But you see,my darling

unfortunately one case put right

doesn't mean that there aren't great

many which has not been put right

-But you can't ignore it

-Neither can you

Generalize about the case of

one girl lucky enough to have influence

There are thousands of others,my sweet

some of them humble fighting little

people with no one to speak for them

Who is generalizing now

who are these people?

What are their names?

All right,Heini,Fritz Mahler,

Trenker's eldest boy

Father Landbach,you know them all

and there are plenty more beside

Landbach,you'll always harking back to that

You known particularly well

that he defied the authorities

and preached sedition I..

I simply don't understand

your attitude at all

Of course you don't you

simply won't let yourself think

And you think far too much

you do nothing but criticizes

you won't admit that the

fuhrer has done anything

What's the good of arguing

They've got you,you're party official now

And I'm proud of it

Proud?

I believe that the party is

destroying this country

like a cancer destroys one of my patients

That's sheer treason

I won't listen to it

I'm going to Stuttgart tonight

I'd think it will be better

if you don't come down there

That's sheer treason

Come on you get out

Today our thousands across the frontiers

calls for the Fatherland for help

They shall not appeal in vain

Their cry is heard

They shall be free

Doctor

Could you build a radio transmitter?

Could you?

Yes but you can't get parts without

You mean you can give me the license?

Could you build one without a license?

You mean

On the quiet?

Yes

How old are you Glaser?

24,Sir

And you're not a member of the party

-Why?

-It's all right

I'm against them too

You?

You're not trying to trick me,Sir

No,Glaser,I'm not trying to trick you

I don't like living in a country

where you can't speak the truth

to fear your best friends gives you away

Yes all the shouting and bullying

and trying to train young kids think

going into w*r is grand

Well I think it's all wrong that's all

What's the use of talking

There might be some use in talking

-To a microphone

-Microphone?

That's the only way we will

ever get them to listen

loudspeakers blare at them all day

we've got to use their methods

but give them the truth

You mean,sort of pirate station

Yes,freedom stat,,,

That's it we'll call it the freedom station

You get me the materials

And I'll build a transmitter that

will reach the whole country

Good

-A piece of paper

-Yes

You realize what it means if we are caught

Yes

Fine

Let's make a list of what we want

Heil Hitler,I want a top

Heil Hitler

Take a choice which color would you like?

I'll have this one

That's 20 pfennig

Thank you

Give my love to your mother

Heil Hitler

That depends on the volume

I'll teach you how to use a selector

so you can work without

either of us being there

I think I've got the hang of the things

Well,so we can do without crystals

Is this it?

No I'm afraid not

Still a little more ammunition

-Here,Kurt, the sixteen limit

-Right

Is it nearly finished?

Yes except for the crystals

Without them we are sunk

They've should have been here hours ago

Something must have gone wrong

Perhaps just a minute

Good afternoon what can I do for you

I dropped this to be repaired

As arranged

Thank goodness I thought

you were never coming

Did you have any diff

Don't turn round now

Behave quite naturally

It's wonderful how the evenings

are drawing out,isn't it?

Of course with all this flu about

one still has to be careful

You keep quite well yourself

Cover up

No,that's not it

Perhaps

Yes,I think the boy likes that

Well,I'm afraid the squeaker

of that one is broken

But well what do you think

of that if it's for a boy?

Oh,no he sees too much of that at home

Well,what about that?

It was a policeman but he only

wanted the dog for his little boy

What about this?

Tonight at 10 30 we'll speak to them

-I've earthed it to the lightning conductor

-Good

Here you are

We are ready doctor

Two minutes to go

Attention everybody

I can't believe this sort of things

amuses you anymore than it does me

No but I think it's good for us

How?

It will be reminded now and then how close

we are to beasts in the field

-"The intellectual blackout is complete"

-Mitzi,Mitzi

Shut up

"All over the country children

are being taught not to think

"and not to use our intelligence"

"but repeat like parrots phrases

from a gutter full of hate"

"and yet what has hate ever

accomplished on earth"

"except evil,what can

hate beget except hate"

Dressler

This is the end of the

first freedom broadcast

"The gestapo will try to trap us

but God willing we shall

speak to you nightly

"at 1030 on shortwave 26.9"

"we shall not fail you,we are your

voice and you must be silent"

If only it worked

If only they all heard you

We shall know when we get home

Let's get us off here

That's not the point other

places haven't you got it

don't give me excuses I don't

care how you do it but do it

There you are

Fine mess you made of this,get Muller

Hello

-Is that the report on freedom radio?

-No,Sir-Get it

Tell him to wait

Where the devil have you been?

Listening to the freedom station

We know where they were roughly

Roughly?Why the blazes

why didn't you jam them out?

If we jam them,Sir,

the detectors can't find them

Well they are not rounded

up in a couple of days

your job won't allow 2 pfennigs

Our detectors can locate them in 22 seconds

We'll get them tomorrow night as

soon as they start their broadcasting

You'd better

Herr Spiedler talking

Yes,tell the Herr doctor,I rang up to

wish him many happy returns of the day

Well,would you wish Dr Roeder many

happy returns of the day from Maria

Will you wish Dr Roeder

many happy returns of the day

from his friend in East Prussia

I'll tell him Sir,but I'm sure

there is some mistake

-Oh,doctor,

-Help yourself to a drink,boys

Doctor,the telephone hasn't

stop ringing since half past ten

What do they want?

I think someone is telling a joke

They'll be calling up from

all over the country

wishing you many happy returns

I told them that it wasn't your birthday

Well,boys,all over the country

We've done it

-Doctor

-Doctor

-Well

-They're due to start in about a minute,Sir

As soon as they do we'll find

their position on this map

-Nagel

-Sir?

Just explain to Herr Rabenau,will you

We pick up the waves from Freedom radio

on detectors placed about 200 miles apart

For example Berlin and Breslau

By taking the maximum

intensity of these waves

each of these stations

can get the direction of the pirate station

in relations to their own position

and where these two direction intersect

is the rough position

of the pirate transmitter

How exactly do you do that?

Do you see that instrument over there,Sir

Let me explain

That's what we call a directive aerial

This man finds the direction

of maximum intensity

from the freedom station

Meanwhile we receive a reading from Breslau

by plotting both these readings on the map

as you saw obtain the point of intersection

This is the freedom station

calling on short wave 26.9

"There we are going to take up

some problems that affects us all"

-There's your blib

-Breslau bearing 95 degree east

Breslau 95 degrees West

It's someone in Ostertal district,Sir

Squad car attention stop

all traffic entering city from North

Search for radio transmitter

-About a mile northeast of Ostertahl

-About a mile northeast of Ostertahl

Ostertahl,it's about 12 miles from here

Just coming into Ostertahl

-That's the peak South 21 West 14

-South 21 West 14

North 2 West 28

We are doing everything we can Sir

I got all my best men working day and night

Karl

It's almost time

Ready to go

Right

-Ready?

-Just about

There you are Professor

This is freedom station message

Right

This is a freedom station

calling on wavelength 26.9

I'll tell you we must find them

I had another call from

Berchtesgarden this morning

How can I find them if Goebbels

keeps jamming them out

Now we have absolute proof

that your criminal leaders are investing

millions of marks in foreign securities

Here are the figures everyone

of them has been verified

Rabenau who presumes to tell you

to turn your butter into g*ns

has the depositions in

the following sums abroad

Buenos Aires 7,5 million marks

in Luxemburg 2 million

That wasn't jammed was it?

Muller,you occupy a position

of responsibility

So far you've been lucky

enough to keep that position

The third Reich does not tolerate failures

I think you understand me

Well,that's the list

Something to think about isn't it?

How long are we going to put up with

this whole scale thieving of

public funds by our ministers of state

Hanna it's Karl,he's come back

What swollen dreams do

you suppose these men hold

while you at the same time

hold death and misery for you,the people

How funny

-I thought for a minute that was

-Karl

Yes

That was the freedom radio

Ridiculous

Must be some resemblance in the voice

Quite a strong resemblance I'd thought

Don't be stupid Otto

Hanna

All right duckie, I'm just getting them

Well I must be off

Aren't you going to wait for me?

I'm afraid I can't do it,

there's a job I must do

I'll be home later

All right good night

She seemed to note it at once

she actually called out his name

when she opened the door

You don't like Dr Roeder very much,do you?

It's not that,Sir,I thought it

was my duty to tell you

It was indeed

You've done very well my boy

I'm just wondering if we can't make

more use of your special advantages

What about taking him

into your detection unit,Muller

I'll be very glad to have him,Sir

Thank you,Sir

Report to Capt Muller's

office in the morning

-Heil Hitler

-Heil Hitler

Well,that's a very pretty surprise

You're going to arrest Roeder?

No, we need more evidence

than to arrest the Fuhrer's doctor

besides we want the others too

I'm going to give a

little party at my house

Dr Roeder should be the guest of honor

-He'd smell a rat

-That's the idea

Suppose we ask him for 1015

just before the broadcast

-I'll ask her too

-I thought they weren't living together

They are not

Her reaction should be very entertaining

Irena it's your turn now

-Won't you please do something?

-No -Oh,please do

You really must let me off tonight

I've been at the stadium all day

What little surprise have

you got in stall for us this time

One that I think ought to be rather good

when the Fuhrer comes in a 140

foot banners were unfurl in the wind

Which reminds me really I

don't think I ordered the wind

I'll talk to Goebbels

We don't want a hurricane

you know when our good

doctors exaggerate things

There was a message from

Karl,he's been delayed at the clinic

He'll be along later

BTW the so called freedom

station is on the air just now

might be amusing to hear

what they have to say

Yes

I don't think we shall

have any more opportunities

"And tonight the minister of propaganda

has once more been telling you

that our envious neighbor

are preparing to invade Germany

and destroy her people that too is a lie"

Invented to excuse preparations "

I won't listen to that stuff

Oh quite,but there is

something about that voice

Oh yes,do let's hear

some more,it's so thrilling

Please

I'm sorry Karl missed that

As he might have found it amusing

Sorry I'm late,Willie

Oh hello Karl

Listen tomorrow

night at 10 30 as usual

Tell your friends to tune in

on wave length 26.9 meters

And in the mean time,good night

Let me help you

Thank you

Good night,Irena

Won't you see me home?

Of course

Well,there's one thing

we can take Roeder off the list

and start looking elsewhere

On the contrary we can

now concentrate on Roeder

Very easy to put a voice

on a gramophone record

but very hard to conceal the scratch

-You've been busy at the stadium?

-What? Oh,yes

-Must be very interesting

-Very

-Will you be there?

-No,I'm afraid not

I shall be busy at the clinic

Been a long time hasn't it?

Yes

Have you missed me?

What do you think?

Oh,Karl

Why do we go on like this

isn't it rather silly?

I'm not enjoying it,Irena

Can't we try again?

We've both been made miserable

for no good reason

I'd give a lot to be convinced of that

Oh,Karl,

Nothing is big enough to

make us suffer like this

it doesn't make sense

Will you go back on your belief?

The fuhrer and all he stands for?

How can I? How we agree

to differ about politics

Politics? It is something deeper than that

I feel it so strongly

Oh let's talk about something else

Oh,Karl

What ever you feel need it

stop us loving each other

As far as I am concerned it never will

That what makes it so hard

Even to talk to you

You see

I don't feel like I've the

right go back on what I've said

Even if I wanted to

Not even if I ask you

Sorry

Not even if you ask me

I see

Taxi

Pariser Platz

-Good night

-Good night

Attention everyone,attention everyone

On Monday our fuhrer will speak

to us from the Tempelhof's stadium

On the peace of Europe

Every German will listen

Work will cease at six o'clock

in all factories and offices

Children will assembly in schools

Peace of Europe,80 million people

forced to listen to lies like that

You can shouting the truth

at them for seven months

and I don't suppose we'll reach 20 %

Sorry in my opinion you never will

And why not?

Because there are too many

people like you moaning

and nothing can be done

Can't see what can be done?

They like giving orders or taking

orders I know the German mentality

Damned Rudolph our fellows are German

Hans and Kurt are Germans

they are not unique

They are not many of then

Hello

I just want to tell you the

appointment this one next Friday

Thank you

What is it?

That was Wolfgang

They invade Poland on Friday

Friday

Five days

I told you,you are up

against something too big

Nothing too big

Landbach thought it was worthwhile

-Didn't stop him

-No but they broke his neck

Now listen Karl

you're doing great work as a doctor

don't throw it away

You can still lead a useful and happy life

With all this unhappiness,no Rudolph

The invasion on Friday

Peace speech on Tuesday

The whole of Germany forced to listen

The whole of Germany

I wonder

-Hello Karl

-Hello Emil,Fritz-Good evening,Sir

Got anything to drink?

I always thought stars

dressing room was full of it

-Full of what?

-Drink

Oh,Fritz get the doctor some beer,will you?

It only be your number

in a minute and quarter,Sir

I'll look after Mr Fenner,Fritz

You're always saying

what a good driver you are

Now you have an opportunity of proving it

What?

You're to be at Taeppische car park

at stadium tomorrow 5 o'clock

You mean you're actually going to try?

Why not?

That shocking stuff you're

putting on your skin

Takes ten years off my age

You know,Karl

You deserve to succeed

You put ten years on your age

if you plug up your skin with that

Coat

The moment the fuhrer starts his speech

You get your engine going

I've got your pass

Here it is

Emil,I can count on you?

Your call Mr Fenner

Right

Umbrella

Bye Karl

Heil

Heil Hitler

-What do you want?

-Last minute inspection of cables

If anything goes wrong

tonight I should lose my job

You might lose more than that

Open that bag

What's that?

A b*mb what do you think?

-Heil Hitler

-Heil Hitler

What's this?

Auxiliary line

Show me that box

Help

Thanks

Better tie him up

-The fuhrer

-Right

Such a magnificent arena,

I congratulate you

I must say it's looks rather good

-Where have you been?

-Sorry,Sir,I was checking up the front gates

German men and German women

"The soldier who sometimes

wear civilian clothes"

-Good luck,Karl

-Thank you,Maria

"On the ruins of the infamous

treaty of Versailles"

"A new proud Germany has arisen"

And the challenge of our

youth we'll no longer deny"

"That is the watchword of my policy"

"Peace is might"

"Peace for Germany and for...."

"That is a lie"

"This is the freedom station

calling on Short wave 26.9"

"You face the greatest

moment in your history"

"Tonight at 10 30 we shall

make a vital announcement"

"All I have time to tell you now"

"is that the fuhrer far

from working for peace"

" is about to commit you to w*r"

"We believe one more time.."

"w*r can only end with the

annihilation of Germany"

No one is allowed through here

Now get back

-Where are you going?

-Special job,Sir

No one is allowed to leave,

show me your papers

Double bend ahead,when

we get round,you jump out

No

Do as I tell you

Hello

Not yet I'm not a thought reader

You didn't see who it was

No,Sir,I had the mechanic down

and my back to the door

Whoever it was

must have been in the corridor,

you must have seen him before you went in

There was no one there,Sir

Herr Dressler will tell you,Sir

I thought you went for the main gates

Yes,Sir but I came back that way

I want you again later

Yes,Sir

Hello,hello

Muller where the devil

What?

Where about?

A street where Roeder has his clinic

Yes,we're throwing a cordon

on the entire block

Right away

Halt

Schulz,take a room in there and search it

Kalder,in there

Lt

You know Dr Roeder's private rooms?

Go around behind them and a thorough search

-take these men with you

-Come on

You'll come with me

What do you want?

I wish to see Dr Roeder at once

You can't he's with his patients

-In there

-You can't I tell you

What the devil do you mean

by bursting in here like this?

I've orders to search this building

for a wireless transmitter

This is a clinic,not a broadcasting station

Is it?

What's that?

Who are you,what do you want?

Hans

Elly

What's the matter?

What's happened?

I've been ill

I couldn't do the work

Work?

Food was so bad

I couldn't eat it

I got away

But your letters?

We only wrote what we were told

Look here,what sort of rest home was this?

It wasn't a rest home

It was a concentration camp

Concentration camp

I can't go back there,Hans

I can't go back there

Concentration camp

I'm sorry you can't go through

But I'm Frau Roeder

I can't help that but you can't go in

It's quite all right,of course,

Frau Roeder can go in

Thank you

Shall I open,Sir?

Yes go ahead

Carry on

Not at all

In difficulties?

Allow me

I had orders to search

Quite I just want to help

Here,you might call this my private museum

For instance here we have an

important part of a famous financier

Here is the nose of the

Chief Justice of Freiburg

Regrettably non Aryan

I made him a new one

Well,how do you like to

look of some of the others

I mustn't disturb you

-Everything satisfactory,Capt?

-For the present,yes

Heil Hitler

It's true

Seemed so fantastic I couldn't believe it

This afternoon the same voice

saying those vile,horrible things

Every tone,every word, told me it was you

Say something

What do you want me to say?

Why did you do it?

I did it because I had to do it

Because I saw people I

love rushing to destruction

I saw that many who felt as I

did were powerless as individuals

but if we could only find a way

to putting them in touch with each other

uniting their strength

the disaster may be averted

The freedom station the way we found

What do you want to do? Start a revolution?

Yes,revolution

You believe that Hitler is working

for peace,but you are wrong

In three days our army

will march into Poland

Then I decided to tell the nation

something of vital importance

Just as it was

I don't believe it

But it's true

Then why didn't you tell them today?

I was cut off before I could

Tonight I shall tell them

If it's the last thing I do

And it will be

You think you are brave but nothing

but a fool or worse you're a traitor

They'll k*ll you and you'll deserve it

You haven't a chance after this afternoon

-I saw the Gestapo outside here

-They found nothing

But what about me?

I suppose you think I'm going to

shield you because I'm your wife

No Irena I don't expect you to

Oh God

This is a nightmare

I want to wake up

Karl,what have they done to us?

Got us

everyone

I must go

Karl

Where are you going?

Please tell me I must know

Remember?

Karl,I got to talk to you

Irena there's no time now

Karl

What am I to do?

You must do what's your

conscience tells you

If you feel it's your duty

to report me I shall understand

And you know where to tell them to find me

Otto what are you doing here?

I might ask what you're doing

With the freedom radio

Don't know what you are talking about

Don't you?

I'm going straight to Gestapo headquarters

Perhaps you'll understand that

Of course,I'm going with you

You'd better not

I warn you I shall tell them the truth

I shall tell them the truth

That'll be the end of freedom radio

Don't try and fool me

Fool you?

Never once I was fooling if I

never acted well before I did then

You weren't acting

You've been crying

My dear child how many

years have I been on stage?

And you know that one of

the first thing that you learn

is to cry convincingly

As a matter of fact also one of the easiest

No one would have told me

whether we were going if

I hadn't turn on the tears

You can say what you

like you still love him

You wouldn't lift a finger against him

Love him

I hate him

He's a traitor

Played right into my hands I

know where the freedom station is

Are you coming?

Did he give yous any hint

as to where he's going?

He said he was going to Oberstad

He didn't say that

Where did he say?

He didn't mention any place

Otto couldn't have heard

we were just outside the door

that's were they've gone well that

simplifies matters a good deal

We should be able to get them all now

Well,Irena,I can't thank you enough

Dressler,stay where you are,I want you

We know of course what they

intended to say at the meeting

Of what?

Our troops about to march into Poland

They know by giving the

public a piece of news like that

they're creating immense difficulties

But it's not to,of course,we

are not attacking Poland,are we?

Yes it's true enough,it was forced on us

Naturally you'll keep all this to yourself

Of course

Thank you again,you helped us enormously

I'm very glad that I helped you,

I hope you catch them

That won't take long now

Good bye

She was lying wasn't she?

-Well I

-I see you agree with me

She is very much in love with him

I do have the well meaning

she will not get into any

That's all right I'll see that

she's kept out of it

Tell me exactly what you heard

-You say he didn't mention a name?

-No,Sir

What did he say then?

She asked him where they were going

He didn't say anything at first

Then he said something about

"Remember?"

He's knocking on something

Like that

-Like that?

-Yes,Sir

Where were you?

Right behind that door,Sir

-That one?

-Yes,Sir

Where do you think he was?

Somewhat about here

Of course I can't be sure

No,of course not

Probably the desk

Or something on it

Or perhaps

You know where this is?

Yes,Sir

That's Herr Spiedler's cottage,

we've been there often

Dear Hans make sure your transmitter

is in order in case mine breaks down

-It's all right I've just overhauled it

-Good

-Look after her

-I will

-Do you feel any better?

-I'll be all right

You know Carl I don't like this arrangement

What's wrong with it?

There's no necessity for you

to do this broadcast alone

The boys can take the boat,

I'll come with you

Oh no that won't do

you got to stay with the second

transmitter ready for tomorrow

Have you told me everything

what happened this afternoon?

Yes I think so

Why?

No one called at the clinic?

Just getting interested where you'd

been or anything like that?

My dear fellow what are you worrying about?

It never slipped up yet no

earthly reason why we should now

All you got to do is to take that

boat as far away from here as possible

It's a common sense precaution

I'll see you tomorrow as arranged

That'll be all thank you

Karl

Karl

Irena

Otto overheard us in the library

I had to go to Rabenau

pretended to give you away

I said you've gone to Oberstadt,

that was all I could think what to do

But I don't think Otto believed me

and he's been here often

Rabenau said there's going to be a w*r

You've been right all the time

And I've been blind

Oh,Karl

Darling,you can't stay here

I've got to make the broadcast

I'm not going away again

I'm with you now

No,it's impossible

You must take the car and I'll

meet you somewhere afterward

I can't do that

I hired one

in case they should be look out for mine

I've send it away,you see

Can't get rid of me

I am not going

No,you're not going

I wonder where's that going

It might be the Vienna express

Vienna

Budapest

Istanbul

How often have we seen

that on the side of the train

We've never got further than Vienna

We never wanted to

We didn't did we?

It's time come and help

me put up the aerial

I'm in the cottage now

No

But as soon as they start transmitting

we'll pick then up with the detectors

They can't have gone far

Report to me the moment you get them

The Chancellery is on

to me every five minutes

They will be any moment now

we'd better stay here and get

our bearings from headquarters

-Yes,Sir

-Wait for me in the car

-Finished?

-Yes

I'm glad you're here

Good luck
