" "'They're leaving in two days"" " Oh, no." "They will not." "Sanchez, you don't understand." "We need him alive." "We are not assassins." "But we can't let him get away." "If we must have a trial, we'll give it to him here." "Jacob, we are not assassins." "We are judge, and he is guilty." "There is nothing you can do." "Be assured." "We are judges of high quality." "Let us go." "We must wait for Juanito." "Then, we will go." "No, David." "I'm glad." "His day has come at last." "It is straight, amigo." "Come, let's drink to ourselves." "May we prove to be as efficient executioners" "As we are honorable judges." "What is keeping her?" "Two hours." "She should have been back before now." "It is not two hours, Eichmann." "It is not yet an hour and a half." "Even if they follow me to the airport tomorrow." "They'll think that I'm picking up my tickets." "I'll be on that plane before they know it." "They'll never know where I got off." "Oh, never, never, you'll be absolutely safe." "I'm not interested in safety." "It's important that I live only to do the work for our party." "Oh, that is exactly what I meant, Eichmann." "Now, if that foolish woman would only hurry." " You are stupid, Juanito." " Why?" " We do not want the woman." " But we had to have her." "We needed these keys to get into his house." "I could not take them from her and then let her go." "And now, can you let her go?" "Will you be her judge and executioner, too?" "Let us go." "He would begin to suspect when she doesn't come home." "Jacob?" "David, there is no other way." "It has taken us more than ten years." " To fail." " Fail?" "Jacob, if we kill him, we failed." "You will." "Not I." "[Dramatic music]" "[Phone ringing]" "Yes." "Anna?" "Adolf, they have my keys to the house." "Get the police." "Protect yourself." "They would be there any minute." "Why did you do this?" "Never mind that." "Get out of here, quickly, before they come back." "Quickly!" "[Dramatic music]" "All those years of searching." "Months of planning, raising money from friends, all gone." "Because of him, a betrayer." "We were under orders not to kill." "We were not under orders to help him escape." "'We were not under orders to be informants.'" "To notify him, so he'd call the police." "Jacob, we're not murderers." "Sara, David did not have to kill him." "There were others of us who did not share his delicate feelings." "He had no moral right to prevent others from doing what is right." "Alright." "Suppose, we had killed him." "The newspaper here would have carried an item this big." "This big." "Announcing the mysterious murder" "Of an unknown foreigner." "Not Adolf Eichmann." "An unknown foreigner named Krauss." "Krauss." "What would we've accomplished?" "We could let the world know he was really Eichmann." "And would they have necessarily believed us?" "I say, that if we kill this man without due process of law" "The world will brand us as murderers." "We will bring him to trial." "Never worry." "We'll never get him." "We've chased him to Kuwait." "He plans to make the Middle East" "The center of a new empire of murder." "With Israel, the first victim." "By letting him live, you are his accomplice" "In future murders." "You." " We'll run him out." " You'll run him out?" "Out of a country you can't even get into?" "[Instrumental music]" "In the two years that followed" "Contributions came from all over the world." "Only vast sums of money could move Eichmann out of Kuwait." "Now, we had it." "We were ready." "[Instrumental music]" "It was decided that Jacob and I would go." "Our differences were long forgotten." "Patient and painstaking work had gone into our preparations" "For this moment." "And we believed we'd found" "An answer in Eichmann's early history." "We were going to bring it back." "Now." "To haunt him." "Our passports were good." "But we didn't have much time." "The ship would only be in port 48 hours." "No, no, there is no need to be apprehensive." "Your shipment of cars has left Germany over a month ago." "Yes, I can assure you." "My gratitude will be expressed" "In a most substantial fashion." "Thank you." "Hakim Benahmed is here to see you." " The police?" " He said it was urgent." " Urgent?" " Hmm." "Show him in." "Show him in." "Ah, my dear Hakim Benahmed." "What an unexpected pleasure." "Won't you join me in some coffee?" " No, thank you." " Sit down, won't you?" "No, thank you." "Well, now, let's see." "You were here last, about a month ago." "I didn't expect to see you again for another week." "Herr Brunner, I'm here to protect your life." "If necessary, with my own." "My life?" "You're in great jeopardy, Herr Brunner." "I don't understand." "An official in my department has received evidence" "That you are an agent of Israel." "'A Jew.'" "I?" "That's preposterous." "Such information could..." "It's not information, but evidence." "Nonsense." "That's outrageous." "Your dossier indicates you speak Yiddish and Hebrew." "You lived in that, uh, obscene country." "Yes, yes, yes." "But that was years ago." "It was then, Palestine." "I was a German agent for the National Socialist Government." "I know that.." "Herr Eichmann." "That is why I wish, to save your life." "The report branded you as a Jew." "It's already known by many people." "Too many." "As a Jew.." "'...you will be assassinated in 24 hours.'" "I represent three of the largest German industries." "They will defend their representatives, here." " Get in touch with them!" " I have." "I've cabled to ask if they knew you were a Jew." "They have not replied." "I'll have a passport and get you away safely in 24 hours." "You are thinking, perhaps, if you revealed yourself" "To be Eichmann.." "'...you would not remain alive very long.'" "There would be a high price on your head." "My people, well... to my regret" "We have many impoverished people.." "To whom money is greater value than life." "That is when the lives are not their own." "But be at peace, Eichmann." "I will protect you as if your life were my own." "Until, you're on the plane." "[Dramatic music]" "At last, we had given him the taste of terror." "That cold sweat of his own fear." "Eichmann was on his way to South America." "Buenos Aires." "From now on there wouldn't be a moment for him without fear." "Our plan was to keep him within reach" "Until, we were ready to take him." "You received my cable." "That's good." "What has happened to you?" "What has not happened?" "I did not think I would ever be glad to see you again." "But I am." "Come, Anna." "You live here?" "You do not have to stay." "That's not what I meant." "In your letters, you never said anything about why you came" "To South America in the first place." "They would not let me back into Germany." "But I have a job, I get by." "Once I am settled, we'll move into a more befitting place." "But first, I must telephone Senor Santez." "He's in charge here of everything." "You don't have to, Adolf." "He's on his way here to see you." "How could that be?" "As you said, "He's in charge of everything here."" "I told him you were coming." "You know him?" "[Knocking on the door]" "You know him also." "[Knocking on the door]" "Adolf, be careful." "They're angry with you." "[Eichman laughing]" "Kessner." "When Anna told me that you were coming" "I cabled immediately to Europe for instructions." "You've made a mess of things, Adolf." "You better explain." "You let the Jews, run you out of Kuwait." "(Eichmann) 'That is not true.'" "There was an attempt on my life and I was caught." "You were caught..." "by fear!" "No." "There's been a tragic mix up" "And I shall write an explanation." "By all means." "Give me your communication and I shall forward..." "No, no, no." "Your fear has forced headquarters to change" "Their address." "So... now we understand each other." "They have instructed me to get a job for you." "Inconspicuous, modest." "Out of public sight." "'You're to refrain from all organizational activities.'" "As long as you obey orders, you will be safe." "You will hear from me about the job through Anna." "Little Kessner here in Argentina giving me orders!" "I must find out the new address of headquarters." "Why, Adolf?" "Why?" "Can't you forget the past and all the glory?" "You could stop running." "We could live." "They would give you a job." "Nobody would know you." "No!" "I will never tolerate that." "I am the leader of the movement." "The movement?" "Adolf, the movement is in other hands." " Your day is over." " Never." "They will learn that Eichmann cannot be disposed off easily." "I don't want you caught." "You're afraid to have me here?" "[Dramatic music]" "Adolf, for so long I have been afraid." "I'm tired now." "I want to know which is worse." "Fear or loneliness." "What's the job?" "The last few months have been busy with personal matters." "The menial job does not bother me anymore." "There was an interesting item in the newspaper." " So?" " This anniversary here." "This would be an International Industrial Agricultural fair." "Delegation from Israel is coming." "And Kessner is worried that there may be agents" "Among the delegation, hmm?" "Kessner is worried about many things." "He also would like to see you." "Come on over." "You're letting vanity and false pride lead you into trouble." "I am grateful for the concern you show about my welfare." "Serious charges have been made against you." "In the factory, at social gatherings" "You're talking carelessly, dangerously." "You give me the address of headquarters." "I want to communicate with them directly." "Despite my instructions and then my warnings" "You have written to Von Mayers in Egypt, to Kretel and Mario." "'Your letters have been turned over to headquarters.'" "'Many people are demanding that the strictest measures'" "'Be taken against you.'" "I will stop when you give me the new address of headquarters." "You're endangering the entire organization." "Not I. It is you." "You cannot take away my proper position." "You've heard of this delegation of Jews arriving here?" "There would be agents amongst them." "They will get you, Eichmann." "Hitler and Himmler entrusted me" "Only me, with the final solution of the Jewish problem." "Ah, only you." "After Himmler and Bormann, I came next." "I am now the new leader above everyone else at headquarters." "You, sitting there in my seat, behind my desk." "You cannot gag me with threats of strict measures." "(Eichman over recorder) 'Wherever I am, there are the brains, the power.'" "'Only I can rebuild the organization.'" "'Our National Socialist power.'" "'Now, you tell them, if I go down, it will not be alone.'" ""'All of you here and those in Egypt, in the United States"" "'And those who had it easy so long'" "'Secure and well protected.'" "'If I go, I will take them all down with me.'" "Gentlemen, I think, it's clear what must be done." "Anna." "Anna, they're here." "The Israel delegation, by plane." "They're after me." "Adolf, they're not after you." "Now, will try to get some rest?" "We're safe." "We're safe." "Kessner will deliver my message." "I still have power." "Power." "What message?" "What are you talking about?" "Blackmail?" "That's the only language they understand." "They're degenerate." "They're corrupt." "But I'll fix them." "They'll never find me." "They'll never find.." "'I'm not afraid of them." "I'll fix them.'" "[Dramatic music]" "[Door opening]" "[Music continues]" "[Softly] Adolf." "Adolf!" "The Star of David." "What did you expect?" "We'll dump him on the steps of the synagogue." "Klaus!" "Little Kessner is trying to make the world believe" "That the Jews killed me, hmm." "[Doorbell ringing]" "Klaus?" "[Intense music]" "The routine never varies." "He takes the bus here every morning to the factory." "Here, and every night after work, he returns back here." "What does he do with his nights?" "He stays in the house." "Never goes out." "From the empty bottles we find in his trash can" "He probably, drinks himself to sleep." "We'll have no trouble picking him up." "Good." "[Phone ringing]" "Yes?" "Speaking." "I see." "Alright, stick with him." "We'll get word to you." "Well, he didn't go to the factory today." "They've traced him to the house of a German here" "Who goes by the name of Santos." "Oh, what are we waiting for?" "I've sent your message to Europe." "They apologized for their underestimation of you." "And I too, of course." "After all, little Kessner is only a messenger boy." "I think, you'll be pleased with their decision." "They've decided to appoint you" "General Co-coordinator of all North American affairs." "Your headquarters will be in Mexico City." "Here's your ticket and your new passport." "You'll leave at once." " I will need some money." " Everything has been arranged." "You will be met at the plane by Señor Valdez." "Is that all?" " Good luck." " Oh, Kessner." "It's too bad about Klaus." "'I'm sure that you'll miss him.'" "Don't underestimate the enemy." "You're right." "In order to avoid underestimating the enemy" "One must know him." "It shall never happen again." "That's comforting." "After you're settled, arrangements will be made" "For Anna to join you." "Oh, such kindness." "I'm sure you will enjoy Mexico City." "Good luck." "Hans." "Follow him." "His ticket is for Flight-321" "Leaving for Mexico City, tonight at 7:10." "He's no fool." "He may suspect." "If he does not get on that plane" "We will be forced to eliminate him here." "Anyway, do not let him out of your sight." "They think, I am an imbecile who can be fooled like a child." "But why to Mexico City?" "Not Mexico City, Anna." "Hell." "Their method, tricking a victim to his unsuspecting doom." "[Laughing]" "They forget, it is I, who invented such methods." "So, what is their plan?" "I'm to be met by one, Señor Valdez at the airport." "He's to drive me away." "Drive me where?" "Mexico is one of our graveyards." "A graveyard without a headstone." "And then, where will you go?" "To Europe." "I have no other choice." "I must tell them what Kessner is trying to do to me." " To all the others." " But, Adolf." "You'll hear from me" "When I'm back in power, where I belong." "[Dramatic music]" "[Music continues]" "[Speaking Spanish]" "Pleasant journey." "Cancel this flight, please." "Instead, I must go to Europe." "Immediately." "Spain or Portugal." "Do you have anything leaving before 7 o'clock this evening?" " I'll see what I can do, sir." " Thank you." "Can I have a reservation for this afternoon to Madrid?" "Yeah." "Yes, thank you." "Yes, I have space for one." "Flight 6, 5:30 this afternoon, to Madrid." "I'll take it." "Uh, sir, your flight to Mexico City is tourist class." "'The one to Madrid is first class.'" "Oh, that's alright." "How much is the difference?" "Uh, 23,406 Pesos." "Twenty three thousand.." "Oh, oh, I'm afraid, I.." "Here take this and reserve the seat." "I will be back with the balance in an hour." "Uh, yes, sir." "May I have your name, please?" "My, my name.." "Uh, it must be on the ticket to Mexico, here." "Here's my name." "Oh, yes, of course." "Señor Wittnauer." "I'm sorry." "I will be back in one hour." "Wittenauer." "Herman Wittenauer." "[Dramatic music]" "[Phone ringing]" " Who is it?" " Anna, I need 15,000 Pesos." "Bring them to me at the airport, right away." "You didn't kiss me goodbye." "Come back and I give you everything." "Anna?" "Alright, Anna, I'll come." "I'll get there, right away." "[Sobbing]" "[Dramatic music]" "[Music continues]" " Who's that?" " I don't know." "[Music continues]" "You're making a mistake." "You must take orders from me, not Kessner." "Look, if you kill me, you're betraying your own cause." "You're not Kessner's." "You're my men!" "Once we were almost yours." "Almost!" "My name is Adolf Eichmann." "I regret nothing." "I do not repent." "Kill me!" "No." "That's too easy, too quick." "You're gonna stand trial, Eichmann." "People are gonna see you." "They're gonna study you." "They're gonna learn, how one man" "Can become responsible for the torture and murder" "Of six million human beings." "Six million!" "The world will learn, and they'll remember." "[Intense music]"
