124. Steiner, last night it was steiner

125. that makes five dead,

126. and I checked with the radio man

127. there's been no answer to your request for relocation

128. Stop this!

129. Stop!

130. Wait! Wait!

131. In this village,

132. partisans have been operating against

133. the greater german Reich - Are you insane!

134. I am Commander Koempffer, is what I am

135. Captain Klaus Woermann, is what you are

136. your request for relocation is denied Woermann

137. I am now in command over this emplacement

138. And you, will not interfere with our actions

139. You,you, you, you and you

140. Bring them to the Keep

141. There are no partisans in this village!

142. these people know nothing!

143. If one more german soldier dies, all five hostages will be shot

144. And five more will be shot every time a german is killed

145. We will continue until partisan activity stops

146. or we run out of villagers

147. They are no partisans!

148. You, see to it that my command quarters are in order

149. Those people you murdered are Romanian citizens

150. we are an allied state!

151. Let's have an immediate understanding Woermann

152. who gives a damn about a few communists

153. Listen to me

154. MG 34's cover the entrance,

155. lights illuminate the perimeter,

156. And whatever kills us, gets in anyway

157. Nothing we do, no security works

158. we have seen no partisans!

159. - Something has been released! Something?

160. What do you mean something, Woermann?

161. are you trying to create a mystery?

162. To excuse your incompetence in protecting your men

163. My competence, was proven in combat

164. against soldiers who shoot back

165. not slaughtering civilians

166. And I am a political soldier Woermann

167. and I shall say it once only your security doesn't work

168. because your methods are wrong

169. The answer's fear, Woermann,

170. From now on these partisans will be afraid to kill

171. because they will fear

172. the price these actions cost these villagers to pay

173. Now listen, something else is killing us

174. And if it doesn't care,

175. about the lives of three villagers

176. If it is like you

177. then does your fear work?

178. Take that brilliant thought

179. back to Dachau when you go

180. If... you go

181. Because here in this Keep,

182. Commander Kaempffer

183. you may learn something new

184. neither you nor the Keep can teach me anything

185. We found the rest of Steiner,

186. well, Commander Kaempffer

187. let's see the latest present our friend has left us

188. Come

189. Bring a hostage

190. Explain this Kaempffer,

191. this is what's happening to us

192. - What do these words mean?

193. - Herr officer, I don't know

194. Don't lie to me, those words are Romanian

195. What do they say, I want to know

196. They look like Romanian Herr Officer.. but they're not

197. - I don't know what they say!

198. - He's telling the truth

199. Make him stop,

200. What do you suggest I do?

201. Arrest him?

202. Priest, you're next.

203. Teach him the art of translation.

204. Herr Officer,

205. this writing is like Romanian but different, it's meaningless

206. not written in the Latin alphabet, nor the Cyerilic alphabet

207. What can you tell us about the Keep we don't already know?

208. Me? nothing

209. Yes, you were about to say more

210. - You can tell us nothing, - No

211. - Who can? - No one

212. Don't lie to me

213. or I'll shoot this man dead

214. There's a professor of medieval history

215. at the university in the city of Ayashi

216. He made a study of this Keep

217. perhaps he can translate that for you

218. - His name? - Dr. Theodore Cuza

219. He grew up in this village

220. Herr Officer

221. Dr. Cuza is not in Ayashi

222. Then where?

226. The SS will bring them today from the depot

227. Do you play at night?

228. I don't play music here

229. we suffer enough, not happy here

230. Why are you here, girl?

231. I'm Eva Cuza

232. this is my father Dr. Cuza

233. We are Jews, the gypsies are not the only ones

234. who are enemies of the state

235. When we reach that new settlement place they

236. say we are going to, then I play music for you guys

237. There are farms, and wheat fields there

238. they said...

239. Where are you going in such a hurry?

240. - Into the pass

241. - Get down

242. How far?

243. To the Keep

244. Move away from the machine

245. Open the case

246. Don't.. touch that

248. the people who go to these settlement camps,

249. there are only two doors,

250. One in, and one out

254. Or back to the camps, go you

255. and your daughter

256. What does it mean?

257. Can you understand it?

258. Well?

259. The former is in the imperative

260. It says:

261. "I Will Be Free"

262. So we do have partisans

263. In zoltz navonic, but within

264. the Gaelitic alphabet

265. Your partisans are writing to you

550. - He is the same

551. - look at him

552. - what, it's my body,

553. I don't give a damn about me, I'm not doing this for me
