content,
looking for new troubles, in order
to bring peace to your congregation.
If I get news from the Vatican
tomorrow, may I pay you a visit?
I would be happy.
- The hotel "Savoy"?
- Yes, "Savoy".
What are your plans for today?
Tonight I'm invited
to the chaplain of the cathedral.
A splendid man,
intelligent and courageous.
When the Nazis banished him from
Hamburg, he almost died,
so hard he took
the parting with his homeland.
Yes, each partakes of that bitter cup.
Good luck to you.
Giovanni, I'm going to dictate
a dispatch.
Encipher it
and send off at once.
To Monsignor Cadicelli, Vatican.
General Wolf has succeeded
in his mission
when he met here, in Bern,
with Mister Dulles.
The information we receive allow
us to make the following conclusion:
The negotiations of Wolf and Dulles
are being successful.
You must understand my position.
Should I again
caution
Mister Dulles against further
contacts with General Wolf,
our American friends
might get
a wrong impression
about our motives.
State politicians
can not always understand
the policy of God's servants.
The situation seemed to me
grave and hopeless
until Pastor Schlagg
arrived here, in Bern.
You probably remember
that noble man
who had always stood up for peace
on his frequent visits to Switzerland,
Vatican and Great Britain
before 1933, when leaving
Germany didn't entail
the difficulties with the police
that began with
Hitler's coming to power.
According to Pastor Schlagg,
he arrived here
to prevent the further
progress of negotiations
between Wolf and Dulles,
because he's absolutely
convinced that Wolf
is far from looking for a peaceful
solution,
he's simply sounding out
the possibilities
of maintaining the Nazi regime.
I would like your sanction
for conducting more confidential
talks with Pastor Schlagg.
Perhaps,
we should inform him
in more detail
about the negotiations going on
in Bern.
Unless I can
provide Pastor Schlagg
with the real proof
of our sincerity,
it would be hard to expect
from him an open discussion
whereby he could give us full
information on those friends of his
that sent him here
from Germany.
Schlagg has never been a politician, he
has always been a conscientious pastor.
However, looking into
the future, I can see
a big advantage in the fact
that a pastor,
a servant of God, proved to be
that pure and lofty person
who was seeking peace
risking his life, but...
doing that, made
no compromises with Nazism.
This lofty example
of the civic courage
of God's son and servant
will help us when
the tormented people of Germany
one way or another comes back
to the bosom of the Holy Church,
and Pastor Schlagg,
or his pure image...
or his pure image
will help our clergy in the future
carry their light to where
the domain of Nazi darkness has been
and to where the Bolshevik leaders
fasten their eyes now.
That's why...
That's why I asked
your permission
to familiarize Pastor Schlagg
with the materials the Holy Church
managed to get with the help of
Monsignor Staute,
the former Bishop of Hamburg.

(07 hours 25 minutes)
Obersturmbannfuhrer Rolf has arrived.
- Continue the surveillance.
- Yes, sir.
What time is it?
My watch has stopped.
How about 7 o'clock 25 minutes?
Leave us alone.
Leave us alone!
Will you allow me to feed the boy?
I'm afraid he'll disrupt our work.
The boy can wait.
He cannot.
He must eat by the clock.
You'll feed him as soon as
you answer my question.
We're busy.
It's time to feed the baby.
He can wait.
Do not disturb us!
So...
We've been informed
that you know the resident.
- I've already explained.
- I know about your explanations.
I read them and
listened to the tape recordings.
I believed them
until this morning.
But since this morning I no longer
buy your explanations.
- What happened this morning?
- Something has happened.
We expected it to happen.
We needed the evidence,
and we got
