00:00:00Be still, my soul. The Lord is on thy side. Bear patiently thy cross of grief or pain.
00:00:18Thinking of Papa again.
00:00:20Guten Morgen, Schlafmütter.
00:00:22Morgen, Mutti.
00:00:23You were certainly out late last night. I was beginning to worry.
00:00:27I was just at Helmut's.
00:00:29Exactly.
00:00:39Rudy?
00:00:44Rudy?
00:00:49It says here that a British aircraft carrier named the Ark Royal has been sunk.
00:00:54What is it?
00:00:55The Ark Royal didn't sink. It's still afloat.
00:00:58And just how do you know that? Have you seen it yourself or did you have a dream?
00:01:02I'm not kidding, Mutti. The Ark Royal didn't sink. The newspaper is printing lies. This is the second time the German news has claimed to have sunk it. Helmut said that when...
00:01:10Helmut said? And how does he know?
00:01:14He heard it somewhere.
00:01:16Whatever Helmut says, you believe. But no one can know for sure. We're at war. Everybody lies.
00:01:23But how do we know that everything we've been told hasn't been a lie?
00:01:25How do we know that it is?
00:01:26What if Germany isn't winning the war like we've been told?
00:01:28Slow down. Slow down. You don't know any of this for certain.
00:01:32Father told me not to get mixed up with the Nazis. You know the terrible things they've done to our Jewish friends. Remember Dr. Levenberg? Why would they stop short of lying about it?
00:01:42Fine. Let's say Helmut is right. The Nazi government has been lying to us. What then?
00:01:50If we can't just sit here and take that, we've got to fight back.
00:01:54An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
00:01:56So you're saying we should do nothing? That I should sit here and do nothing while Hitler and the Nazis beat and kill and lie to us about it?
00:02:04No, I am not. But there are better ways to fight.
00:02:07Like what?
00:02:09The best way to fight cruelty and dishonesty is with compassion and truth.
00:02:15Promise me you'll remember what I said. And above all, that you won't do anything dangerous.
00:02:23I don't want to be late.
00:02:26I'm going to Helmets tonight, so I won't be here when you get home from work.
00:02:29Rudy!
00:02:31Don't worry. I'll be careful.
00:02:35Tschüss, Matthias.
00:02:45You didn't say anything to anyone, did you?
00:03:11you didn't say anything to anyone did you no of course not my mother still doesn't trust you
00:03:18though what why the lord lister detective agency well that was five years ago i know is she ever
00:03:27gonna let me forget it maybe when you're 50 whoa afraid i'm gonna lead you into more danger is that
00:03:35it something like that the only thing dangerous about listening to the radio is getting caught
00:03:41doing it and that wouldn't happen to such clever detectives as us besides i only listen late at
00:03:48night when oma and opa are on bed anyway even if they did catch you it's not like they would report
00:03:54their own grandson to the gestapo i still can't believe your brother left a shortwave radio to
00:04:01use as a matter of fact he hid it in the closet and made me promise not to touch it until his
00:04:07next week that sounds more like gerhard i have missed listening to those great american songs though
00:04:13moonlight and roses bring wonderful memories of you good nobbing there professor sorry to interrupt
00:04:26your little concert there carl come in what's he doing here oh he's in on the secret i'm going

00:06:36what's the ark royal just a british aircraft carrier the german news claims to have sunk twice
00:06:45twice see even you should know you can't sink a ship twice look listen if hitler was telling the truth
00:06:52why would government control information so tightly they destroy or make illegal any information they can't
00:06:58control why would they do this if they weren't lying to us look listen for yourself you'll see
00:07:04come on carl what's the big deal i thought you hated the nazis i don't like the nazis of course
00:07:10i'm not willing to risk my neck to listen to enemy broadcast they're hitler's enemies i understand

00:07:42one of the enemy's greatest tools is making you believe you are the only one who opposes them
00:07:52but we tell you that you are not the only one there are immense numbers of people who feel as you do
00:07:58reach out to one another and find strength in the knowledge that you are not alone

00:09:38hitler says just to keep myself safe well there's nothing wrong with keeping yourself safe
00:09:42the lord tells us to be truthful and to resist evil if i am doing what he asks he will protect
00:09:47me that doesn't give you the right to be reckless with your life god also gave you brains and expects
00:09:54you to make smart decisions you helmet are too impertinent for your own good sorry i i mean to say that
00:10:01yes god wants us to stand up for what is right but i think he expects us to think out the best way to go
00:10:07about it like what helmet i don't know yet good in touch boys hello chief you must be our volunteers
00:10:17for this week thank you for your fine service oh it's no trouble there well helmet i meant to ask
00:10:23you have you had a chance to finish those last batch of letters to our soldiers yet not quite yet
00:10:27i'm having a hard time getting over here to use the typewriter because
00:10:30actually uh do you think i could bring the typewriter to my house so i can finish the letters easier i mean
00:10:40i don't see why not you're a trustworthy secretary as long as we know where it is
00:10:48danke i'll bring it with me after services today
00:10:52excellent keep up the good work we must do everything we can to support our soldiers who
00:10:58are fighting to return germany to its rightful place in the sun
00:11:00heil hitler
00:11:03heil hitler
00:11:11he knew he was a party member yes but he usually keeps it separate from church
00:11:15well the party doesn't condemn christianity
00:11:17they don't openly condemn it but they're opposed to anything or anyone they see is competing for
00:11:23loyalty with the furore and the party well so why can't you just do both what is the first
00:11:27commandment of every national socialist what come on the abc's of national socialism what is the
00:11:32first one love germany more than anything and what is the first commandment of god thou shalt
00:11:37have no other gods before me you cannot have faith in hitler's eternal germany and faith in the
00:11:42eternal kingdom of god but but earmore is
00:11:48a nazi and he believes in god and he wouldn't hurt anyone i agree he's one of the kindest people i
00:11:56know so it's possible to do both well no he's managing to reconcile the two so far but once
00:12:00there's a conflict between them where where will his loyalties lie enough philosophical debate for
00:12:05one day you're a professor why don't you and rudy come on over to my place again tonight
00:12:11sure
00:12:12all right you're gonna need the extra muscle to carry that typewriter home anyway
00:12:18honey what is it really you said that if you're doing what is right god will protect you
00:12:35are you sure the evil influence of the party is spreading everywhere we must resist evil and help
00:12:43spread the truth no matter the cost it's just that my mother doesn't want to do anything name let us
00:12:50begin with our opening hymn listen rudy if you see your neighbor's house on fire you warn them
00:12:57you don't worry about your own safety and you don't knock politely on the door
00:13:01i will keep speaking out against the nazis because i am speaking the truth
00:13:05and anyone who knows the truth has an obligation to do the same
00:13:13oh
00:13:25helmet why did you have to open your big mouth and volunteer to take this typewriter home well i
00:13:31thought it might be useful useful for what i do have a lot of church work to do with it
00:13:35how much moonlight and roses bring wonderful memories of you
00:13:45my heart reposes in beautiful
00:13:54let's see your identification cards
00:14:01are you all members of the hitler youth yes of course
00:14:06a little more respect from you if you please

00:14:39take it easy kid this isn't a place to pick fights
00:14:43report to your local hitler youth office this week we'll see if you're scared then
00:14:48why should i go for the honor of joining up of course
00:14:53now get off the streets before i report you but next time we hear your sorry voices screeching
00:15:00it had better be a song of the fatherland
00:15:10and report us
00:15:19we haven't done anything wrong
00:15:22the leaders of this country preach comradeship with one hand and threaten and bully with the other
00:15:26all the while saying we should be grateful for the honor
00:15:31people must see through these lies
00:15:34of course the propaganda department will put another
00:15:37fresh piece of paper in their typewriter and a new game will begin
00:15:40we can
00:15:45helmet
00:15:51let's get those nazi slaves yes let's sing how about a song for the fatherland
00:15:57moonlight and roses bring wonderful memories of you
00:16:05even if actual successes for the german army are lacking such are being officially fabricated so
00:16:24that the german people do not realize that everything that glitters is not gold
00:16:29resist the allure of false hope just because hitler promises you financial and military success
00:16:34does not mean he has the power to bring it about
00:16:37hitler entices you to follow him by holding out the golden promises of prosperity and power
00:16:42for you and your country but he blinds you so you will not see that the price for this promised
00:16:48greatness is your freedom
00:16:50the
00:17:02rudolph volbe
00:17:05it has been two years since you've been old enough to join the hitler youth and yet we have seen nothing of you
00:17:12i've been very busy
00:17:13what would keep you so busy that you are not able to attend one single meeting
00:17:20i work during the days and go to school in the evenings and on weekends i'm busy with my church
00:17:34seems to me that you are trying to get out of joining the hitler youth
00:17:37i don't know why would that be don't you like target shooting camping trips sporting competitions
00:17:47i already know that you like singing is that not right yes
00:17:51i see you like to get in fights
00:18:08we could teach you to fight properly
00:18:11what would be more important than that
00:18:13i'm trying to bring glory to germany by improving my mind
00:18:24well spoken rudolph but i'm sure the fuhrer would not want you to miss out on the wonderful
00:18:28opportunities the hitler youth provides
00:18:31take it i'll fill out the necessary paperwork later welcome to the hitler youth heil hitler
00:18:49heil hitler
00:18:50hey kid
00:18:58i'm in a hurry not so tough now without your friends are you tough enough to take you
00:19:04and i thought you were just a church clown who loves to dance in the street singing love songs
00:19:09watch it or what what can you do to me when did you find out you're coward you better say your
00:19:15prayers now boy you're gonna need the help i need help to take you
00:19:33i tell you it's true one punch and down he went i was so mad i wasn't gonna let him push me again
00:19:40he must have been pretty small for you to knock him down
00:19:43you're just jealous because i'm the one getting all the action the action
00:19:47defending the truth like heinrich said rudy you punched one person what good does that do
00:19:52nothing why didn't you just join the hillary youth anyway i did once
00:19:59what happened i'd rather not talk about it if it's all the same to you well it's not all the same
00:20:03to me where have you been it's almost time professor you don't look so good
00:20:12heinrich vorbs has been arrested by the gestapo what when what happened today i don't know all
00:20:18the circumstances but he was out on the street he said something bad about the nazis and someone
00:20:23reported him he was picked up immediately we warned him to be careful he was doing the right thing carl
00:20:29and he'll do about as much good as you punching people at least i'm doing something why is this
00:20:33country come to we're not even allowed to have opinions anymore if the party is so great and
00:20:40benevolent why are they so frightened of free thinking they must be really scared if they're
00:20:44punishing people like heinrich and worms he doesn't like nazis that's for sure but his talk is completely
00:20:50harmless it's not idle talk they're afraid of what they fear more than anything is the german people
00:20:55learning the truth because then we could band together and defeat them well we have the truth and
00:20:59we can't change anything well that's exactly what they want you to think then let's do something
00:21:05like what go around punching all the nazis we see in the nose carl leave it alone you sound like my
00:21:09mother well maybe you should listen to one of us fine you're both right no more fights but if we want
00:21:16to make a real difference we have to get organized i have a plan get organized a plan if the truth is what
00:21:25the nazis are most afraid of then then let's spread it and how do you propose we do that we can't
00:21:30exactly invite all the people of germany up into elbert's attic to listen to the radio but we can bring
00:21:34the radio broadcast to the people what we can bring the radio broadcast to the people you already have
00:21:43a plan i knew it what plan hitler the murderer where did you get this i told you to that typewriter would
00:22:01come in handy broadcast um how did you know the radio i took notes in shorthand and i typed it up
00:22:11i typed that message verbatim but i have another one i wrote myself how did you get it stamped with
00:22:16the nazi seal well there are certain advantages to apprenticing in the social services department
00:22:22you can thank them for the red paper too effective isn't it this is a chain letter pass it on oh i read
00:22:29that in a book if you say that the people will pass it from person to person so it will reach many more
00:22:34people than we could buy ourselves how many do you have a hundred a hundred i used carbon paper so i
00:22:42only had to type it up twenty times what are you planning to do with all those we'll put them in
00:22:46telephone booth mailboxes apartment houses anywhere we can get them we yes me you and rudy they're
00:22:55musketeers i won't be a part of it don't you want to fight for freedom be a part of our brotherhood or what
00:23:04we want to be a brotherhood united to never part despite danger or want
00:23:15we want to be free as our fathers were and rather have death than to live in slavery
00:23:21we put our trust in the almighty god and are not afraid of the tyranny of man
00:23:25you and your band books and dramatic speeches not this time helmet what's the matter carl scared
00:23:41again see that's just it isn't it what you said just now about being afraid of the tyranny of man
00:23:46i am afraid all right i'm terrified and you should be too well you're right carl it's not a game you
00:23:55bet it's not a game it's not one of your silly plays either did you see what they did to heinrich
00:23:59he says one small thing about the government now he's locked up and you expect me to help print and
00:24:03distribute hundreds of flyers who say hitler the murderer heinrich wasn't careful look if we handle it
00:24:10right it will work i've thought it all out trust me i don't know listen carl
00:24:20you know what brutality the nazis are capable of
00:24:25don't you
00:24:28we have to do something about it
00:24:34what good can three teenagers do
00:24:36we can warn the people bring them to the point of asking questions and saying wait a minute
00:24:45something's not right i want to learn the truth myself once enough people know the truth who knows
00:24:52what can happen rudy bobe hero of the resistance carl
00:24:59can i think about it first sure i'll go home and think about it all you want
00:25:11but can you distribute these along the way
00:25:15remember telephones mailboxes wherever you can
00:25:28aye aye
00:25:30you know what rudy
00:25:33don't get caught
00:25:45should the threatening storm or wellness i have but done what i could not refuse
00:26:05it's been over a month now since the press and the radio in germany grandly announced the results
00:26:17of the wool collection program over 70 million articles but where are the 70 million articles the
00:26:25soldiers on the front haven't received them they do not write about them but only that they are freezing
00:26:29freezing and freezing some more vainly waiting for some warm winter clothing
00:26:36german youths are you actually aware of what the hitler youth is and what goals it pursues
00:26:42a compulsory organization of the first order for the recruiting of nazi enslaved national comrades
00:26:48hitler and his accomplices know that they must deprive you of your free will in order to make
00:26:53submissive spineless creatures out of you for hitler knows that his contemporaries are beginning
00:26:58gradually to see through him the murderer of millions
00:27:03nazi propaganda is good it is very good but it is still not good enough to make gleaming
00:27:10never-before-seen kinds of victories out of miserable defeats and costly retreats out of lost
00:27:16battles and hopeless confusion without anyone noticing that something is rotten hitler's new
00:27:22year's proclamation reveals all this in perfect clarity the year 1942 will decide and this decision
00:27:30is reserved for the german people long held in darkness to make soldiers on the home front
00:27:37soldiers on all fronts the furor has promised that this year will be decisive and that he will stop at
00:27:42nothing to keep his promise he will send you by the thousands into the fire to finish the crime that he
00:27:48started therefore we are calling out to you do not let your free will the most valuable thing you
00:27:53possess be taken away do not let yourself be suppressed and tyrannized germans arise a determined
00:28:01deep can still rescue you and your country from the abyss to which hitler has led you with his sweet
00:28:05talk by the thousands wives and children will become widows and orphans turn your back on the hitler
00:28:11youth the tool of the hitler regime for your destruction make your decision before it is too late and
00:28:16throw up this unspeakable bird how much will you tolerate how long will you wait germany awake

00:34:58it was cold
00:35:01so very cold they forced us to stand outside naked
00:35:10knee deep in the snow our hands were shackled together in front
00:35:15and stretched out on a block the water was dripped on our hands
00:35:25all night it would trip drip and freeze there
00:35:31then they would beat on our frozen hands until the ice was loose and our fingers were broken
00:35:38they called it a re-education process
00:35:50it must have been some education
00:35:56my place 10 o'clock tonight
00:36:00as often as we can until this ends
00:36:20in modern war the enemy fights not only with military weapons but also with the means to influence the
00:36:25people mentally and spiritually and break down their resistance the nazi regime seeks to maintain
00:36:31strict control over the information you receive so they alone can influence your thoughts and feelings
00:36:38if the german people are to break free of this tyranny they must first break free of the lies
00:36:44those of you listening to this broadcast tell your friends and neighbors to tune in to the rebroadcast of this program
00:36:50tomorrow at 12 noon the truth must be spread
00:36:54it was the guilty one
00:37:00they're really going to love this one helmet
00:37:03i just wish i could see the look on their nazi faces when they read this
00:37:07do you think they've seen any
00:37:09maybe no one's turned one in yet
00:37:11unless someone's been taking them down they've seen them
00:37:14what do you mean
00:37:16you know the bulletin boards outside the apartment buildings
00:37:18the nazi bulletin boards for official party notices
00:37:24i've been tacking leaflets to them
00:37:27i've got to hand it to your one gutsy kid maybe i've misjudged you this whole time
00:37:33like it at heinrich's today you knew exactly what to do what made you think of singing rudy
00:37:41we sang that song at my father's funeral
00:37:45my mother always sings it when
00:37:48i just thought it might help heinrich too
00:37:53good old rudy
00:37:54you're all right kid
00:37:57does that mean you'll stop calling the kid
00:38:01nope
00:38:13hey you better keep it quiet you'll wake up my grandparents
00:38:16don't think how much
00:38:18just as soon as i teach this kid how to expect his help
00:38:21you need to do this old man what you need to do
00:38:28what
00:38:28Ah!
00:38:31Dockumstrasse 42.
00:38:33This is the place.
00:38:47Open up!
00:38:48It's Dockum.
00:38:49Frau Lingen.
00:38:51What is it?
00:38:52Neighbors.
00:38:53Where's your husband?
00:38:54He...
00:38:55He's not here.
00:38:56We'll check for ourselves.
00:38:57Out of our way.
00:38:59What has he done?
00:39:00Tell me, what has he done?
00:39:01Here he is.
00:39:02I'll be back.
00:39:03Granddad, there has to be a mistake.
00:39:04Stop!
00:39:07Shutting him out.
00:39:26Every night someone else disappears.
00:39:31And for a minute, I thought it was gonna be us.
00:39:36They couldn't really be looking for us though, right?
00:39:40How would they even know that we're involved?
00:39:42If we continue to be careful, they shouldn't know.
00:39:45In the stories, it's always one member of the gang that slips up first and gets caught.
00:39:53Or gets tricked by a beautiful spy and rats out the others to save his own life.
00:40:00You've been reading too many spy novels, kid.
00:40:02I don't think we need to worry about being seduced by a beautiful spy, Rudy.
00:40:07I know.
00:40:08I just mean that it's usually just one person that gets caught.
00:40:13So?
00:40:14Rudy's right.
00:40:16We should make a pact.
00:40:18That if we're caught, we will not, as Rudy's spy novels most eloquently put it, rat on the others.
00:40:25I thought we weren't going to get caught.
00:40:27Well, it's just a precaution.
00:40:29In case those beautiful spies do get to us after all.
00:40:32Well, what should we say, Hamlet?
00:40:36Do each of you make this vow of your own free will and choice?
00:40:44Very well then.
00:40:52I'm Hamletubina.
00:40:55I, Rudolf Lobe.
00:41:02I, Karl Heinz Schneebe.
00:41:05Do hereby make a solemn vow.
00:41:08Do hereby make a solemn vow.
00:41:11That if I am caught, I will take the blame upon myself and not incriminate the others.
00:41:17That if I am caught, I will take the blame upon myself and not incriminate the others.
00:41:21No matter what method of questioning.
00:41:24Or torture.
00:41:28And even in the face of torture.
00:41:30No matter what method of questioning and even in the face of torture.
00:41:34There.
00:41:39That you do it.
00:41:41It feels so official now.
00:41:43Like we're a real resistance group.
00:41:46A brotherhood.
00:41:47United.
00:41:48United.
00:41:49To never part despite danger or want.
00:41:51Sure.
00:41:52But I don't know if I can trust this kid to keep his mouth shut under torture.
00:41:56Worry about yourself.
00:41:57I can handle anything.
00:41:58Well, you should have seen your face about one minute ago.
00:42:00You weren't exactly calm either.
00:42:01Do you know that most of the prisoners of war here are French?
00:42:05What?
00:42:06Thousands of them in this military district alone.
00:42:09Saint-Bostol.
00:42:10Ubeck.
00:42:11It's all.
00:42:13You've lost me this time, Air Professor.
00:42:15Well, our first act as a now official resistance group is to translate the flyers into French and distribute them to the prisoners of war.
00:42:22Mange.
00:42:24But Helmut, none of us speak French.
00:42:27Werner Kranz does.
00:42:29Werner Kranz.
00:42:30A boy I work with.
00:42:31I'm going to show him a flyer as soon as I get the chance.
00:42:34Look, those men are losing faith, Karl.
00:42:37Thanks to Hitler's propaganda.
00:42:40And we can bring them the truth.
00:42:41Give them cause to hope again.
00:42:43I don't know.
00:42:45Do you really think we should involve someone else?
00:42:47Werner doesn't like Hitler any more than we do.
00:42:49And you can really trust him.
00:42:50Have I been wrong yet?
00:42:52I just don't think it's a good idea.
00:42:53Well, let's put it to a vote then.
00:42:54Uh, I vote yes.
00:42:56Karl votes?
00:42:57No.
00:42:58Rooney, what do you think?
00:42:59I think it's a great idea, Helmut.
00:43:00Of course you do.
00:43:01That settles it then.
00:43:03Hopefully I'll have the first French flyer by the end of the week.
00:43:07I'll also have another flyer for you to distribute as well.
00:43:13This is just the beginning.
00:43:16It's getting late.
00:43:17I think I should go.
00:43:18Me too.
00:43:21I hate lying to my mother about what we're doing.
00:43:24That's the only part of this I don't like.
00:43:26Well, you have to.
00:43:28It's the only way to keep her safe.
00:43:29I know.
00:43:30I won't say anything.
00:43:32Besides,
00:43:34by lying to a few people,
00:43:35we can bring the truth to many more.
00:43:38Shoes, Helmut.
00:43:39See you Sunday.
00:43:40Oh, and Helmut.
00:43:42Don't get caught.
00:43:43Um...
00:43:44Carl?
00:43:45Yes?
00:43:46You don't have to keep doing this, you know.
00:43:47I know.
00:43:48Be careful, Helmut.
00:43:49Don't worry.
00:43:50Everything will be fine.
00:43:51Of course it will.
00:43:52You don't have to keep doing this, you know.
00:43:56I know.
00:43:58Be careful, Helmut.
00:44:00Don't worry.
00:44:01Everything will be fine.
00:44:03Of course it will.
00:44:04There's two in coffee.
00:44:06Hmm.
00:44:34Where's Helmut?
00:44:49I haven't seen him.
00:44:50Do you think he slept in?
00:44:52Have you ever known Helmut to sleep in?
00:44:54You're right.
00:44:55He's probably just sick.
00:44:56Before our worship service begins,
00:44:58I have a special announcement to make.
00:45:01I regret to inform you that Helmut Huebner
00:45:03Helmut Huebner was arrested
00:45:08by the Gestapo three days ago.
00:45:10Oh, what?
00:45:11That's impossible. What happened?
00:45:13I don't know any information
00:45:14other than that it was for political reasons.
00:45:17When we have more information,
00:45:19we'll update you.
00:45:21That is all.
00:45:27Carl, wait.
00:45:28Get away from me, Rudy.
00:45:29Do you want people to suspect us, too?
00:45:30But Carl, what do we do?
00:45:31What can we do?
00:45:32We could run away.
00:45:34We could go to Switzerland, maybe.
00:45:35No, we can't do that.
00:45:35What would they do to our families
00:45:36if we suddenly disappeared?
00:45:38So you think we just sit and wait?
00:45:39We don't draw attention to ourselves.
00:45:41We pretend we're just as surprised
00:45:42as everyone else.
00:45:43But Carl, we have to do something.
00:45:44We don't do anything.
00:45:46You and I never spent time together
00:45:47without Helmut,
00:45:48and people would be suspicious
00:45:48if we started now.
00:45:50If we have to,
00:45:51we'll talk at church again.
00:45:52But Carl...
00:45:52Carl...
00:45:53What?
00:45:54Will Helmut be able to withstand torture?
00:45:55I don't know.
00:45:57I don't know.
00:45:59I expect it won't be long
00:46:00until we find out.
00:46:02Carl, what are they going to do to him?
00:46:03Stop it.
00:46:04You're going to drive yourself crazy.
00:46:05Carl, what do I do
00:46:06if they question me?
00:46:07Tell them that you burned the leaflets.
00:46:08Tell them that you know
00:46:09you made an honest mistake.
00:46:10Tell them anything but the truth.
00:46:13Carl...
00:46:13No, no, no, no contact.
00:46:16I have to go.
00:46:17If Helmut...
00:46:18If Helmut...
00:46:20If all goes well,
00:46:21I'll see you next Sunday.
00:46:22But Carl, I...
00:46:22Next Sunday!
00:46:41Dear God in heaven,
00:46:43Please help Helmut
00:46:46to withstand torture.
00:46:49Please, oh please,
00:46:50help him not to turn me in.
00:46:54Vita...
00:46:54Vita, please...
00:46:57help me be safe.
00:47:13The Reich is weakening
00:47:22and they know it.
00:47:24They are feeling the effects
00:47:25of your resistance
00:47:26in the disillusionment
00:47:27of the people.
00:47:29They are desperate
00:47:30to regain control
00:47:31of the German loyalty.
00:47:32Consequently,
00:47:33they will try harder than ever
00:47:34to suppress anything
00:47:35that looks like dissent
00:47:36or criticism
00:47:37by instilling you with fear.
00:47:39Good morning,
00:47:46Shluff Mutsa.
00:47:47Good morning again,
00:47:47Mutsa.
00:47:49How are you feeling
00:47:50this morning?
00:47:51A little better.
00:47:53You still look sick.
00:47:55I just didn't sleep well
00:47:56last night.
00:47:57I've hardly been sleeping
00:47:58or eating all week.
00:47:59Are you sure
00:48:00it's just an upset stomach?
00:48:02Yes.
00:48:03I'll be fine soon.
00:48:06Any...
00:48:07any news about Helmut?
00:48:09No.
00:48:14Maybe we'll find out
00:48:15something more
00:48:15at church tomorrow.
00:48:17Maybe.
00:48:25What is it?
00:48:29You know,
00:48:29if you are in trouble,
00:48:30you can always come to me
00:48:32and tell me anything.
00:48:35I think I just must
00:48:36still feel a little sick.
00:48:39I don't think
00:48:40I'll eat breakfast
00:48:41this morning after all.
00:48:43I'm sorry.
00:48:45I know you were worried
00:48:46about Helmut.
00:48:52Yes.
00:48:53Are you sure
00:48:53you don't know
00:48:53what happened?
00:48:54Yes.
00:48:55But you said
00:48:55you and Helmut
00:48:56had been talking.
00:48:56Maybe he'd been talking
00:48:58to others as well.
00:48:59No.
00:48:59Just call and I
00:49:00and he wouldn't
00:49:00report him either.
00:49:01Maybe someone at work.
00:49:02I don't know,
00:49:04Muti.
00:49:04I told you I don't know.
00:49:08I wish I did.
00:49:14If you don't know
00:49:15anything about it,
00:49:16then I am sure
00:49:19that it is nothing.
00:49:21Nothing.
00:49:21we might even see him
00:49:26at church tomorrow.
00:49:28Yes.
00:49:33Everything will be better
00:49:34tomorrow.
00:49:35Good people of Germany,
00:49:47we are fighting
00:49:48we are fighting
00:49:48on your behalf
00:49:48but you must resist.
00:49:51Resist the lies.
00:49:53You must not give in.
00:49:58Your fear
00:49:59and despair
00:50:00is the enemy's
00:50:02greatest weapon.
00:50:03And then we are going in.
00:50:18It's fucking
00:50:20it's really
00:50:20because I don't
00:50:21know what
00:50:22you do.
00:50:22I don't know.
00:50:23I don't know.
00:50:24I may not
00:50:24at all.
00:50:25I may not
00:50:26at all.
00:50:27I may not
00:50:28at all.
00:50:28You see Carl Heinz?
00:50:38Yes, he's...
00:50:40Oh, no, wait.
00:50:41I see his family, but he's not with them.
00:50:44Rudy, are you feeling well?
00:50:50Before we begin our meeting,
00:50:51I have another distressing announcement to make.
00:50:54It deeply saddens me that a second member of our congregation
00:50:57was arrested this week.
00:51:00Carl Heinz Schneeber was arrested by the Gestapo
00:51:02on charges of treason.
00:51:04Apparently, he was working in connection with Helmut Huebner.
00:51:07They've broken the law.
00:51:08They'll all be under suspicion.
00:51:09Who else is involved?
00:51:10Poor boys, what's going to happen to them?
00:51:12They should be shot.
00:51:15All the other traitors.
00:51:19He must be one of them.
00:51:20What if they come?
00:51:21I don't want to be here.
00:51:24I don't want to be here.
00:51:26Help me.
00:51:40Please, dear God, help me.
00:51:43Please don't let them fight me.
00:51:45Please keep me safe.
00:51:47Please.
00:51:48Please.
00:51:49Please.
00:51:49Rudy, I'm sorry.
00:52:19I'm sorry, Elayna.
00:52:21I just wanted to protect you.
00:52:23Is it bad?
00:52:26Yes, Muti.
00:52:28How bad?
00:52:29We've been listening to radio broadcasts.
00:52:32From England.
00:52:34Dance music.
00:52:38But for three curious boys, it's an innocent mistake.
00:52:40Not a mistake, Muti.
00:52:44We would listen to the BBC London.
00:52:46And Elma typed up what we heard into anti-Nazi leaflets.
00:52:51And we distributed them throughout the city.
00:52:55Just once?
00:52:59How many times?
00:53:03Once or twice a week.
00:53:07For six months.
00:53:09Why did you do this after all that I said?
00:53:11I had to do something.
00:53:11But I said to be careful!
00:53:13Rudy!
00:53:15Open up!
00:53:16Gestapo!
00:53:17Did you hit you?
00:53:20The Lord will protect you.
00:53:21Open up!
00:53:22Bravo, Ben.
00:53:23Open this door.
00:53:24Be still, my soul.
00:53:26Open up!
00:53:27The Lord is on thy side.
00:53:30Bear patiently.
00:53:32Open up, Ben.
00:53:32Thank God.
00:53:33I asked God for help.
00:53:42I asked him to help me not get caught.
00:53:46I prayed so hard, Muti.
00:53:49It didn't work.
00:53:51It didn't work!
00:53:52Rudy, that is not the way.
00:53:55Are you Rudolph Vobin?
00:53:58Come with us.
00:53:59No, please.
00:54:03Please, no.
00:54:04Muti.
00:54:05No.
00:54:07Muti!
00:54:08Muti!
00:54:23Thank God.
00:54:24Please, protect my son.
00:54:49Full name!
00:54:50I love Gustav Vobin.
00:54:51Where do you live?
00:54:52Pardon, just 15.
00:54:53Date of birth!
00:54:5411th of February, 1923.
00:54:56What is the full name of the Nazi party?
00:54:58National Socialist German Workers' Party.
00:54:59Name the date Hitler was appointed chancellor.
00:55:0130th of January, 1933.
00:55:03What is the first commandment of every National Socialist?
00:55:05To love Germany.
00:55:06Face me when answering a question!
00:55:07To love Germany more than anything.
00:55:09Who put you up to this?
00:55:10No one.
00:55:10Who else was involved?
00:55:11Nobody.
00:55:13That's a lie!
00:55:15There was no one else.
00:55:16Have you ever listened to foreign radio broadcasts?
00:55:18No.
00:55:21Did you listen to BBC London at Huebner's house?
00:55:24No.
00:55:24While at Huebner's apartment, did you ever listen to any foreign broadcasts?
00:55:27No.
00:55:28Huebner told us he gave you the leaflet!
00:55:30He didn't.
00:55:33Schneebe confessed to handing them out.
00:55:35That's a lie.
00:55:39Carl said he'd burned them.
00:55:41Now, now, Rudy.
00:55:59You go by Rudy, don't you?
00:56:02Why did you do this?
00:56:04I don't know.
00:56:05I don't know.
00:56:07You must have been pretty excited about learning the information you were hearing.
00:56:11Couldn't wait to talk about it with some of your other friends, maybe.
00:56:15I never spoke to anyone about it.
00:56:19Come now.
00:56:21What about your mother?
00:56:23She knew what you were up to, didn't she?
00:56:25No.
00:56:26No.
00:56:27No.
00:56:28She never knew anything.
00:56:31She's an upstanding citizen.
00:56:33She would never do anything to harm the right.
00:56:35Get up!
00:56:36I'm not finished yet.
00:56:40I would do it if I were you.
00:56:43Those hands could break every last bone in your body.
00:56:48We know, Huebner gave you the leaflets.
00:56:51What did you do with them?
00:56:52Nothing.
00:56:55What did you do with them?
00:56:57Nothing.
00:57:01I passed them out.
00:57:04Who did you give them to?
00:57:06I just put them in mailboxes.
00:57:11Where?
00:57:12What streets?
00:57:13Below the rolling down.
00:57:15Below the mill and bank.
00:57:16Marichman's trust.
00:57:17Linus trust and Anus trust.
00:57:19But that's not all, is it?
00:57:21Is it?
00:57:24Tell me where you put them!
00:57:32I also posted them to the official bulletin boards of the Nazi people.
00:57:36Party!
00:57:36Party!
00:57:36Party!
00:57:36Party!
00:57:44Try and come down.
00:57:59Breathe!
00:58:00Breathe!
00:58:08It's going to be alright.
00:58:11Breathe!
00:58:11Good.
00:58:18There you go.
00:58:21That's better.
00:58:32I'm Hunt.
00:58:34Rudy.
00:58:40First time interrogation, Rudy?
00:58:44Yes.
00:58:46The first is always the hardest.
00:58:48It will get easier.
00:58:50I don't think I can stand anymore.
00:58:53You have been strong enough so far, Tracy.
00:58:57You don't understand.
00:59:01If they'd beaten me for one more second,
00:59:04I would have confessed everything.
00:59:08I felt the same way my first time.
00:59:12But the next time,
00:59:14I learned I could endure
00:59:16even more than I thought I could.
00:59:18Each struggle made me stronger.
00:59:22I don't want
00:59:25to learn anymore
00:59:27or grow any stronger.
00:59:31I just...
00:59:33Yes.
00:59:37I want to go home.
00:59:40Do you believe in God?
00:59:43With Him,
00:59:47we can be stronger.
00:59:49He will help you if you ask.
00:59:52I did ask.
00:59:55I asked.
00:59:58And I asked.
00:59:59And it hasn't done any good.
01:00:04Will you let me help you then?
01:00:07It doesn't matter anymore.
01:00:13Is the war over?
01:00:14The enemy defeated?
01:00:16No.
01:00:17No.
01:00:18That still matters.
01:00:23There's nothing I can do now.
01:00:26Even here,
01:00:28you can continue to fight
01:00:30by resisting their attempts
01:00:31to break your spirit.
01:00:35Listen to me.
01:00:36They will try everything
01:00:38to make you feel alone,
01:00:40hopeless,
01:00:41weak,
01:00:42worthless.
01:00:43If you're going to survive,
01:00:45you'll have to resist their influence.
01:00:51Rudolf Volbeck,
01:00:52come with us.
01:00:53Where are you taking me?
01:00:54You're wanted for further questioning.
01:00:55No.
01:00:56Apparently,
01:00:57they aren't satisfied with the lies
01:00:58you told the first time,
01:00:59swine.
01:01:00Help me!
01:01:01Remember,
01:01:02you have to resist!
01:01:03Shut up, you!
01:01:07Resist!
01:01:1717th of May, 1942.
01:01:21Subject,
01:01:22Juvenile Criminal Case 87.
01:01:24I hereby request an acceleration
01:01:27of the above-mentioned case,
01:01:29because my son,
01:01:31who is now 16 years old,
01:01:33is experiencing great emotional suffering
01:01:35in prison.
01:01:38I am a war widow,
01:01:39employed as a custodian.
01:01:41It is very hard for me to be required
01:01:43to watch my only child go to pieces emotionally
01:01:46from the result of confinement.
01:01:49I have great love and concern for Rudi,
01:01:52despite his actions,
01:01:54and now my nerves are all frayed
01:01:56because of his grief.
01:01:59It is, therefore,
01:02:00my fondest wish
01:02:01that the main trial
01:02:02will be soon begun,
01:02:04in order that I may be freed
01:02:05from this terrible uncertainty
01:02:07of what will become of my boy.
01:02:10Thank you for your consideration,
01:02:12Heil Hitler.
01:02:20It's been a pleasure.
01:02:21As always.
01:02:25Where's Hans?
01:02:26None of your business.
01:02:30Your indictment papers?
01:02:32We won't have to put up with your smell
01:02:33around here much longer.
01:02:39Lulophobe.
01:02:41Charged with preparation
01:02:42of high treason
01:02:43and aiding and abetting the enemy.
01:02:44Trial date, 11th of August, 1942,
01:02:45at People's Court of Germany.
01:02:46The Blood Tribunal.
01:02:47There must be a mistake.
01:02:48We're not dangerous criminals.
01:02:49We're supposed to be tried as juveniles.
01:02:50We're not dangerous criminals.
01:02:51The Blood Tribunal?
01:02:52You'll be punished for your crimes
01:02:53against Germany, you traitor.
01:02:54I didn't commit any crime.
01:02:55I just listened to you.
01:02:56What?
01:02:57Huh?
01:02:58What did you do that was so innocent that it landed you a date with the People's Court?
01:03:00Huh?
01:03:01Come on!
01:03:02Tell us what you did!
01:03:03Huh?
01:03:04I don't have to confess to you.
01:03:05Come on.
01:03:06Come on.
01:03:07Let's go.
01:03:08Doesn't matter.
01:03:09You're being tried by The Blood Tribunal.
01:03:10I just listened to you.
01:03:11I just listened to you.
01:03:12What?
01:03:13Huh?
01:03:14What did you do that was so innocent that it landed you a date with the People's Court?
01:03:17Huh?
01:03:18Come on!
01:03:19Tell us what you did!
01:03:20Huh?
01:03:21I don't have to confess to you.
01:03:23Come on.
01:03:24Let's go.
01:03:26Doesn't matter.
01:03:34You're being tried by The Blood Tribunal.
01:03:37You know, you don't stand a chance.
01:03:42Let's go.
01:03:47Wait, what day is it today?
01:03:51The 28th of May.
01:04:01Two months.
01:04:02Just two more months.
01:04:18Taking off your handcuffs.
01:04:20So don't try anything foolish.
01:04:21I'm afraid we're not going to cut very dashing pictures of romantic resistance fighters.
01:04:42It's so good to see you again, Hamlet.
01:04:44What a happy reunion this is.
01:04:47And what fine accommodations, too.
01:04:49An all-expense-paid trip to Berlin, courtesy of the Reich.
01:04:53It's good to see you, too, Carl.
01:04:56Hello, kid.
01:04:58Air professor.
01:05:00Carl.
01:05:04Well,
01:05:05you might as well get comfortable.
01:05:08How long do you think it will take?
01:05:16The train?
01:05:17No, the trial.
01:05:20I don't know.
01:05:22You nervous?
01:05:24A little.
01:05:26But I'd rather be in the hands of an impartial judge than back with the Gestapo.
01:05:30Rudy, it's the People's Court.
01:05:32It was created by the Nazis with judges handpicked by Hitler himself.
01:05:36How impartial do you think they can be?
01:05:37Maybe someone will speak for us.
01:05:40Probably not.
01:05:42I doubt the defense will produce any witness at all.
01:05:46What about our friends and family?
01:05:48Well, if they spoke for us, they'd be labeled traitors as well.
01:05:55I guess I hadn't really thought about it.
01:05:57Don't you remember how everyone deserted Heinrich?
01:05:59We have no one left at all.
01:06:02We have each other.
01:06:03For the time being, at least.
01:06:05Maybe there's no one willing to speak for us now.
01:06:09But once Hitler is defeated, everyone will be grateful for what we've done.
01:06:13Will we hear us?
01:06:14Shut up!
01:06:16We're not heroes, Rudy.
01:06:18You're so naive.
01:06:19We've wasted our time.
01:06:21We've put our families in danger.
01:06:22We've endured torture.
01:06:24And Hitler continues to spread his lies.
01:06:26But we've made no difference at all.
01:06:28Carl, what's gotten into you?
01:06:31What's gotten into me?
01:06:32Six months!
01:06:34Six months of torture and brutality.
01:06:38Moldy bread and soup that tastes like dirt.
01:06:41Not being able to sleep at night because I can't drown at the sound of constant screaming and crying.
01:06:48Not being able to sleep because I can't help but think about my future.
01:06:52And my family and the danger that I've put them in.
01:06:57Six months of hell where the weak ones don't survive.
01:07:01We know what it's like in prison, Carl.
01:07:06I'm sorry.
01:07:08It's just I'm not going to be the one who's lost his mind blubbering in the corner.
01:07:13We all decided together to do what we could to pass on the truth.
01:07:18Well, I didn't plan on getting caught!
01:07:19And it's me you should be getting mad at, not Rudy!
01:07:31What happened, Homer?
01:07:36I spoke with Werner Kranz about translating the flyers.
01:07:44When I showed him one, he was horrified.
01:07:46He shoved it back in my face.
01:07:49I didn't know the office overseer was watching.
01:07:55He questioned Werner, called the Gustav.
01:07:59Ten minutes later, I was picked up.
01:08:01When the Gestapo took me to my house,
01:08:05they found the typewriter with a half-finished leaflet in it.
01:08:11It was going to be my best one yet.
01:08:16I knew then I didn't have much of a chance,
01:08:19but I thought I could still keep our promise.
01:08:25What did they do to you?
01:08:26They beat him to a pole, kid.
01:08:28What do you think they did?
01:08:31Did they?
01:08:34I'm sorry I told them your names.
01:08:38I couldn't help it.
01:08:43We don't blame you, Homer.
01:08:47Do we, Carl?
01:08:49We were all idiots to think we could get away with it, that's all.
01:08:51Carl, did you confess?
01:08:59I told them I'd burn the flyers, if that's what you mean.
01:09:04Good.
01:09:06That's what I told them you did, too.
01:09:11Thank you, Rudy.
01:09:13So I'll be over soon.
01:09:21Keep telling yourself that.
01:09:22I don't know.
01:09:23I don't know.
01:09:25I don't know.
01:09:39I don't know.
01:09:47Helmet?
01:10:02Yes, Rudy?
01:10:06We did make a difference.
01:10:09Didn't we?
01:10:12I...
01:10:12I don't know.
01:10:17Does it really matter so much?
01:10:23I mean, if you had the chance to do it again,
01:10:27to fight against evil,
01:10:31knowing perfectly well you wouldn't really change things,
01:10:35would you do it?
01:10:47I did go...
01:10:49But then,
01:10:59I agreed to so much as you've needed to meet the buddy.
01:11:04So far,
01:11:07we are going to blow up
01:11:09now.
01:11:11I don't know.
01:11:41I don't know.
01:12:11I don't know.
01:12:13I don't know.
01:12:15And that you were aware the contents had been gathered from Intercepted Enemy Broadcast.
01:12:19You asked Hubena for more flyers in 1942.
01:12:22You admit to discussing some of the contents with the co-accused Vobay, but claim to have burned them without passing them to other persons.
01:12:29What were your motives in requesting these flyers from Hubena if not to pass them to others?
01:12:34I was just curious.
01:12:36Curious? Enough to ask them repeatedly?
01:12:40It's possible that I asked him for each one he wrote?
01:12:42Possible?
01:12:44I don't remember exactly.
01:12:45Vobay.
01:12:47You admitted to distributing the inflammatory flyers given to you by Hubena in that same year, and that you were aware the contents had been gathered from Intercepted Enemy Broadcast.
01:12:55You tossed them in hallways, mailboxes, and attached some to Nazi Party bulletin boards.
01:13:01What were your motives in helping so blatantly to defame the Reich?
01:13:04I don't know.
01:13:07I mean, I have no reason.
01:13:11Were you dissatisfied with the way the country was being run?
01:13:14Or angry with the government in some way?
01:13:17No, nothing like that.
01:13:18So you simply committed these crimes for no reason?
01:13:22I...
01:13:22I later realized I'd made a mistake.
01:13:28Hubena, you admitted to listening daily to the enemy broadcast and then typing their propaganda into flyers.
01:13:34Which you sought to distribute to the people of Homburg.
01:13:37Thereby demoralizing the citizens of Germany and bringing them into danger.
01:13:41What possible reason did you have for distributing these newscastes?
01:13:44Before I state my reasons, I must say again that I alone am responsible for this.
01:13:50But why did you do it, boy?
01:13:52Or do you not know either?
01:13:54Quite the opposite, actually.
01:13:57I knew exactly why I did it.
01:13:59I wanted to share with others what I had heard.
01:14:01But my goal was to point out the differences in the newscast so they, too, would learn the truth.
01:14:07Do you really believe those horrific stories are the truth?
01:14:11Without a doubt.
01:14:12You ignorant children.
01:14:15What do you have against the Fuhrer?
01:14:18A man who has given us jobs.
01:14:20Who has put food back onto our tables.
01:14:22And purpose into our lives.
01:14:24A man who has rebuilt our country.
01:14:27And given us back a sense of national pride.
01:14:30A man who is leading us into glorious battle.
01:14:33So that the world will acknowledge again Germany's power.
01:14:37Hitler is a liar.
01:14:39A murderer.
01:14:40And a tyrant who has taken away our freedom and is destroying this country.
01:14:43Enough!
01:14:43Although you are charged as juveniles.
01:14:50The circumstances of the war make it impossible for the law to waver from imposing the harshest possible punishment.
01:14:57Therefore, the People's Court of Germany hereby sentence the following.
01:15:00For listening to a foreign radio station and distributing foreign radio news in connection with conspiracy to commit high treason to 10 years imprisonment.
01:15:20For listening to a foreign radio station and distributing the news heard in connection with conspiracy to commit high treason and treasonable support of the enemy of which we have written proof.
01:15:36You are hereby sentenced to death.
01:15:39Do you have anything further to say?
01:15:41Schlieber.
01:15:44No.
01:15:46Wobe.
01:15:48No.
01:15:49Hueberner.
01:15:50Yes.
01:15:51I must die even though I have not committed any crime.
01:15:57Your turn is next.
01:15:58Vermin like you must be exterminated.
01:16:01The protection of all good German citizens demands it.
01:16:03Take them away!
01:16:19I don't believe they'll do it, Helmuth.
01:16:33They'll reduce the sentence.
01:16:34You're too young.
01:16:35He's right.
01:16:35No.
01:16:38Look at the wall.
01:16:38Franz Hubert.
01:16:44Sentenced to death.
01:16:46Goodbye, Mama.
01:16:49Sophie.
01:16:51Take care of the children.
01:16:53Farewell, beloved.
01:16:57I do not want to die.
01:17:01Dietrich Schultz.
01:17:02Sentenced to death.
01:17:03You still don't think they mean it?
01:17:10But it can't be.
01:17:14You knew they were going to do it, didn't you?
01:17:17They had to have someone to play.
01:17:19It didn't have to be you.
01:17:21You deliberately drew all the attention to yourself.
01:17:23Why?
01:17:24I was the one called first.
01:17:25Tricked by the beautiful spy.
01:17:31They can't do this to you.
01:17:34It isn't fair.
01:17:35Don't worry about me.
01:17:41I know God less.
01:17:44He will be my judge.
01:17:49This can't be the last time we'll see you.
01:17:53We'll be together again.
01:17:55When this life is over.
01:18:04How about a song?
01:18:07Of the fatherland.
01:18:09One last time.
01:18:13Moonlight and roses
01:18:16Bring wonderful memories of you
01:18:21My heart reposes
01:18:27In beautiful thoughts so true
01:18:32June night discloses
01:18:39Love's golden dreams sparkling anew
01:18:44You two were in the wrong cell.
01:18:50Huebner goes to Plotzensee to await execution.
01:18:53You go back to Hamburg.
01:18:54Come.
01:18:54I'll be the same, my friend.
01:19:03I'll be the same.
01:19:10Never born, Rudy.
01:19:13No.
01:19:13Remember me.
01:19:14No.
01:19:15I'm done, darling.

01:19:17No.
01:19:17No.

01:20:0520th of August, 1942, Alt-Mu'abit Prison.
01:20:26Dearest Amulti, I am all alone now.
01:20:32The trial is over, and I have said goodbye to my friend Helmut, forever.
01:20:38I was so naive, thinking we could make a difference.
01:20:43I thought we could change the world, but now I see that I have nothing.
01:20:48I have accomplished nothing, and life means nothing to me anymore.
01:20:54I hope my life will not last long.
01:21:04Oh Mutti, I'm sorry for everything.
01:21:07I don't know what to do.
01:21:11I can't face ten years in this place all alone, Mutti.
01:21:18I just want to die.
01:21:23Mein Liebster Rudiken, resist the temptation to give in to despair.
01:21:29You must survive and continue the fight.
01:21:33I can't.
01:21:36There is no one to help me.
01:21:41I am all alone here.
01:21:44I am so alone.
01:21:48No, Rudi, no.
01:21:58You are never alone.
01:22:01Even when there is no one else, God is with you always.
01:22:06Turn to him and he will help you resist the despair and the evil influences that surround you.
01:22:16Without him, we are, all of us, weak, but with him, we can be made strong.
01:22:27All is leaving, Mutti.
01:22:53To God in heaven.
01:22:56Please, help me.
01:23:02Please, help me to not feel so alone.
01:23:08I can't do it without you.
01:23:13Please, please, please, God please.
01:23:25I can't do it without you either.
01:23:27Amen.
01:23:28KEN'S SNIVER

01:24:15It's the Sunday service.
