Episode Four

WEBVTT

1
00:00:09.880 --> 00:00:15.480
The whole family taken away by the
Gestapo. The belongings were removed the following

2
00:00:15.640 --> 00:00:22.359
day. I left the building in
a days. It couldn't just be a

3
00:00:22.559 --> 00:00:28.399
routine interview. I had to know
where she was, and I knew exactly

4
00:00:28.399 --> 00:00:34.119
who must have the answer. You
seem distracted today, doctor, is something

5
00:00:34.359 --> 00:00:42.920
troubling you? It's it's just that
miss man Leaf and Mathildean, her whole

6
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:50.159
family have been removed from their apartment. Ah God, believe someone as prominent

7
00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:57.679
as her Manlifen renigged on his rent, and besides, doesn't he own the

8
00:00:57.719 --> 00:01:06.239
building? He does? They left
at night under escort by the security police.

9
00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:15.719
Ah stop, Yes, I didn't
want to use that so Brickett,

10
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:23.200
it's very mysterious and sudden. It's
probably just some sensus claric comato. They

11
00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:26.959
happened all the time. It'd soon
be cleared up half, no doubts.

12
00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:34.319
But an administrative matter should not take
more than a week to sort out.

13
00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:41.040
Surely some of these clerical people are
not the smartest workers. They confuse names

14
00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:46.200
all the time, Manlife and Mannheimer
and so on. I'm sure it's all

15
00:01:46.239 --> 00:01:53.079
a misunderstanding and will soon be rectified. The family apartment was cleared out the

16
00:01:53.120 --> 00:02:00.599
following day. I could make some
inquiries, but for now to finished the

17
00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:05.079
session, I seem to be easing
your shobic mind instead of the other rant.

18
00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:10.080
Now you're right, of course,
mind Fewer, thank you of vied

19
00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:23.240
us In. I later told Burnham
about this situation. He seemed noncommittal and

20
00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:30.840
had nothing to add to the Fewer's
vague explanation of clerical inefficiencies and senses details.

21
00:02:32.759 --> 00:02:40.400
Weeks passed and there was no news, not even a letter from Tildy.

22
00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:45.719
I had to accept the fact that
she and her family were no longer

23
00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:53.719
in Berlin. I made inquiries at
the headquarters of the Orchestra and even at

24
00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:58.960
her Man Leaving's bank, but was
met with stony blank faces and very little

25
00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:06.960
sympathy. The people of Berlin had
closed ranks and lips. These were indeed

26
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:14.479
difficult times, especially for persons known
to be or now designated as non Germans.

27
00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:22.560
I did not see him as special
patient franc for several months, in

28
00:03:22.599 --> 00:03:27.080
fact, not until late nineteen forty, a year after Britain and France had

29
00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:32.039
declared war on Germany. He arrived
as usual with a patient's appointment. Curt

30
00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:37.879
Well, Doc a lot has happened
since our last appointment. Things have certainly

31
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:42.759
escalated, and Crazy Horse seems to
be behaving as you predicted. Are you

32
00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:46.240
still working with the British so far
and passing his Italian so I can get

33
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:52.120
here through Italy the old Homeland?
Sooner or later. I expect to be

34
00:03:52.199 --> 00:03:55.159
swept up into my Uncle Sam's lot, but still based with intel, so

35
00:03:55.400 --> 00:04:00.599
I may still be in need of
your therapy as this fair proceeds, I

36
00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:05.879
should tell you that I've been contacted
by one of our friends agents who suspect

37
00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:11.840
you are not getting therapy as you
put it, that could be good.

38
00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:15.600
Puts you in a shit sandwich,
though the dangerous one. I keep that

39
00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:20.560
very much in mind. I'm likely
to be contacted by the other fellow soon

40
00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:26.160
after you leave, certainly within a
day or two. That puts both of

41
00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:31.399
us on our guard. Francis capitulated, the expeditionary forces evacuated from Dunkirk and

42
00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:35.120
the Luftwaffer are getting a run for
their money from the Royal Aft Force over

43
00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:41.560
Britain. What we need from you
is Hitler's general reaction to events and what

44
00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:46.879
he might plan going forward. Given
his psychological behavior, patterns. This is

45
00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:53.480
going to get a lot harriers soon, I understand. True to my prediction.

46
00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:59.399
The following day I was visited by
Kruntz. It was never a mystery

47
00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:04.920
when he derived the man was as
subtle as a sledgehammer. So your Italian

48
00:05:05.079 --> 00:05:13.319
patience was feeling in need of your
further setrapeutic endeavors. I see. Do

49
00:05:13.399 --> 00:05:17.279
you check on all my patients comings
and going only in so far as is

50
00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:26.000
necessary? Tell me now what particular
problem was he experiencing this time. That's

51
00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:29.759
not for me to tell someone like
you. You're not a doctor to fail

52
00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:36.040
in this your God will be very
detrimental to your health and velvine Well,

53
00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:43.680
I gave him some advice to follow
over his recurring bad dreams. Come now,

54
00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:48.199
doctor, you will have to do
better than that. Believe me if

55
00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:55.639
I tell you you are skating on
very thin ice. Keeps that in mind.

56
00:05:56.639 --> 00:06:00.560
I have many ice and ears on
you, but no that to see

57
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:10.560
if you wendsy ice gives way a
feet is sane. I was not visited

58
00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:15.199
again by my Italian patient for well
over a year when he again came in

59
00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:20.360
to see me. Cruns, meanwhile, had been making increasingly explicit threats for

60
00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:27.920
months. I had stalled with vague
promises of intelligence to share, but needed

61
00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:31.959
something and soon I doc it's your
favorite Italian come out from under the covers

62
00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:36.000
again and needed some therapy. I'm
having too much sex for a beautiful woman.

63
00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:41.040
It's very distressing. What can I
do? You should be more careful,

64
00:06:41.240 --> 00:06:44.920
maybe stop coming here. Well,
this time I have something for you.

65
00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:49.079
And just supposing you're a crout friend
again wants some information. Here's what's

66
00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:54.879
afoot. Crazy Horse is terrified of
an Allied assault in the Balkans. He

67
00:06:54.959 --> 00:06:59.199
realizes in that region for much of
his industrial raw materials. Yet he knows

68
00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:04.040
an assault the south into Europe is
inevitable. Greece and Sardinia are other options

69
00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:09.920
geographically. Yes, we intend to
confuse him with fake invasion plans. We

70
00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:14.240
want you to say whether or not
our friend would be convinced. Would he

71
00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:18.040
infect stick to his own decision despite
any opposing thoughts from his high command.

72
00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:23.879
He will stick to his own decisions
and damn the generals who poses him.

73
00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:28.920
That's what we hoped. The plan
is to get fake invasion plans into the

74
00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:33.240
hands of the advert German intelligence.
Now do you propose to achieve that a

75
00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:38.480
drowned Royal Marines officer supposedly from a
plane crash, will be washed up on

76
00:07:38.519 --> 00:07:42.480
a coast of southern Spain. A
suitable corps will be decked out as a

77
00:07:42.519 --> 00:07:46.519
set officer with fake documents indicating plans
for a coming assault by the Allies through

78
00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:51.199
Sardinia and Greece, whereas the real
event will be through the Old Homeland.

79
00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:56.879
If you give my drift right,
Spain is ostensibly neutral at this time,

80
00:07:57.279 --> 00:08:01.800
but they do have sympathy for the
excess power, so it stands to reason

81
00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:05.600
that the advert will be given secret
access to the deceptive documents. Once this

82
00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:11.160
information reaches Old Crazy Horse, he'll
want to move his resources to reinforce Peloponnesia

83
00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:18.519
and Sardinia. You're fortunate in that
our friend is very superstitious and believes in

84
00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:24.600
luck. Once he knows the source
of the information, he'll regard it as

85
00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:30.439
a divine intervention on his rightful behalf, and he'll cling to it through hell

86
00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:35.240
and high water. Yes, yes
he will. That's what we needed to

87
00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:37.639
know. You better make sure a
crowd friend gets a message and passes it

88
00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:43.000
onto the Old Crazy Horse. Your
therapy has made me feel so much better

89
00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:52.000
To take care of yourself, doc, until our next session Chow. As

90
00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:56.639
expected, My first patient the following
day was the unavoidable Houseman. Well,

91
00:08:56.799 --> 00:09:03.879
doctor, zetapeutic advice have you for
meet today? I've been contemplating your previous

92
00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:09.679
advice to me concerning your vulnerability.
You mean yes, yes, yes,

93
00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:16.200
So I've decided to comply with your
needs. My Italian patient as a recurrent

94
00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:24.679
dream. You can cut the Serapecabaltic
doctor. Just tell it straight, very

95
00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:31.919
well. There is to be an
invasion by Allies into southern Europe through Greece

96
00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:37.039
and Sardinia. It will be in
June next year. Not true the Balkans

97
00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:41.399
of Sicily. No, now that
that latter would entail an advance through the

98
00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:46.600
whole of Italy, and the Balcons
are too well defended coastwide, while broad

99
00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:52.679
based Landings has said would lead directly
into Europe's on the belly. It seems

100
00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:56.559
you are becoming quite a military strategist. Doctor. I can only tell you

101
00:09:56.559 --> 00:10:01.240
what I've been told. Hofmann.
How was this information put to you by

102
00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:07.320
your Italian patient? He said,
The dummy plan was for the Allies to

103
00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:13.759
invade through Sicily. Notwithstanding the disadvantages
I mentioned a few. It does not

104
00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:20.200
fant his forces engaged alongside the Italian
fascists. He does not trust them to

105
00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:26.519
fight, of course not. The
Mediterranean times are better at making love than

106
00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:33.440
war. They're not as disciplined as
we Northerners. The Arrians. You mean

107
00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:39.279
as he say, and I'm reluctant
to give you anything else until you can

108
00:10:39.320 --> 00:10:45.960
give me some news concerning Tilde,
Miss Manleaven. That may not be in

109
00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:50.240
my power, but you have done
failed so far, Doctor, I will

110
00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:58.559
try. The following summer, the
Allied landings in Sicily met with little opposition

111
00:10:58.679 --> 00:11:05.279
by the Italian Army, and soon
after that Italy surrendered following heavy bombing or

112
00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:09.840
Berlin. At the time, Hitler
ordered the evacuation of civilians from the city,

113
00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:16.120
and I received a note from Frank, who signed himself Francisco, asking

114
00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:20.720
me to meet him at one of
the remaining Berlin metro stations. It was

115
00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:28.639
somewhat reminiscent of the similar meeting I
had had some years earlier with Officerccruise.

116
00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:33.960
So Doc, we meet again.
Fortunately, the old Homeland did not suffer

117
00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:37.000
too much with the Allied landings in
advance, and the Italian Army was no

118
00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:43.440
match from Uncle's bunch plus the British
and the Canadians. But even though Italy

119
00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:48.240
has surrender, Western Europe camp be
liberated from the south through That's why plans

120
00:11:48.279 --> 00:11:52.759
are underway for the Allies to invade
somewhere along the Atlantic seaboard within the next

121
00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:58.639
year. And what information would you
like me to advance to my crowd friend?

122
00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:03.200
Consider this? The obvious route to
Europe from the west is the pad

123
00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:07.679
to Calais, the narrowest part of
the English Channel, or from Scotland over

124
00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:11.399
to Norway and link with the Russian
forces for advance into the rest of the

125
00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:16.240
europe South and east, two distinct
alternatives. Crazy Horse cannot protect the full

126
00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:22.799
fifteen hundred miles of Atlantic coastline,
but he'll deploy his reinforcements wherever he believes

127
00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:26.840
he needs them. He'll consider the
west facing coast of France down as far

128
00:12:26.919 --> 00:12:33.840
as the Spanish boarder too exposed for
a strategic, major amphibious assault. You

129
00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:37.679
are getting good at this dock.
Go on. We want to convince him

130
00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:43.000
that Calais and Norway will be simultaneous
invasions. You'll then deploy his reserve forces

131
00:12:43.159 --> 00:12:48.000
with those locations in mind. He'll
be wrong if we can convince him.

132
00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:52.559
That's where you can help us.
So tell me to give authenticity to the

133
00:12:52.600 --> 00:12:54.960
Pad of Calais scenario. There is
to be a phony build up of troops

134
00:12:54.960 --> 00:13:01.120
and equipment in England and Kent.
This is largely a subterfugeac sercise god transmissions

135
00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:07.240
and information outlets local press, gossip
radio and so on will give veracity to

136
00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:11.919
events. Simultaneously, there is to
be a troop build up in Scotland for

137
00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:15.720
the Norwegian assault. With similar fake
news chatter, the Jerry will be able

138
00:13:15.720 --> 00:13:20.879
to decipher. The actual location of
the invasion is not yet publicized. It's

139
00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:24.919
just these false venues released at present, and we need to get that information

140
00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:30.120
firmly established in the mind of our
adversary. That should not be a problem.

141
00:13:30.200 --> 00:13:35.320
I expect to visit from my friend
as soon as he can materialize.

142
00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:45.919
My superiors are very concerned by the
facts at your previous information, but entirely

143
00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:52.559
at oddsvit. Reality is that my
fault. Surely plans change sometimes no.

144
00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:58.000
In light of your recent visit,
tell me what you have to assure me

145
00:13:58.360 --> 00:14:05.960
is true. My patient informs me
that there will be too simultaneous invasion in

146
00:14:05.080 --> 00:14:13.279
coming months, show me, yeah, I'm this man. Shortly after this

147
00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:18.559
visit from Kruntz, I received a
summon to visit the fewer you disappoint me,

148
00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:24.159
doctor, really mind fewer? How's
that? I thought we had an

149
00:14:24.159 --> 00:14:30.240
agreement, not to say, you
had an order to keep me as your

150
00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:35.360
soul terpy patient with respect, Arol. I have to make my living professionally.

151
00:14:35.639 --> 00:14:46.200
I'm let to understand that among your
patients you have an Italian individual from

152
00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:50.039
time to time. Yes, I
do see an Italian patient. I don't

153
00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:56.600
trust Italians, never have even that. Benito Muslini is a mere printing puppet.

154
00:14:56.919 --> 00:15:01.759
If you say so, Furer,
I do he gave up it leave

155
00:15:01.799 --> 00:15:09.080
without a fight. Now he's capitulated. What a betrayal. I don't take

156
00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:16.320
betrayals. I know how to deal
with betrayal in all its forms. Do

157
00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:22.519
you understand that, doctor? Of
course I do. All I've learned that

158
00:15:22.679 --> 00:15:28.000
about you over the years of our
therapy sessions. You do well to keep

159
00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:33.879
that in mind, doctor. I
knew then just how thin was the eyes

160
00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:39.120
to which Kruntz have referred previously.
Is there anything particularly you wish me to

161
00:15:39.159 --> 00:15:46.840
help you with today, Furer,
No, Just bear in mind my deep

162
00:15:46.360 --> 00:16:03.840
concerns certainly mind furer I we then
I left, fully aware how dangerous my

163
00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:08.279
situation had now become. I could
expect a visit from the Gestapo anytime.

164
00:16:10.320 --> 00:16:15.200
I was determined to leave Berlin right
away and travel home. My grandfather had

165
00:16:15.279 --> 00:16:19.000
reason to died, my mother was
sick, and my father was getting too

166
00:16:19.080 --> 00:16:26.080
freight. It was a good time
to finally see my family in My true

167
00:16:26.200 --> 00:16:30.519
situation came to light when I went
to make my travel arrangement. I was

168
00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:37.200
told that I was on the record
as a specially listed person and not permitted

169
00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:45.240
to leave Germany. Hitler indeed had
me trapped my fear of a Gestapo visit

170
00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:55.559
would remain knowing at me like an
insect trapped inside my brain. I managed

171
00:16:55.559 --> 00:17:00.399
to get a phone call through to
Sweden and could not believe my mother's inquiring

172
00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:08.119
why don't you marry that lovely girl
Mathilde. After I'd explained the whole situation

173
00:17:08.200 --> 00:17:15.680
of her disappearance along with her family, it started the whole distracted thought process

174
00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:22.920
in me again. We kept in
contact by telephone and letters as my mother

175
00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:30.880
continued to decline until she passed away
late in nineteen forty It was then,

176
00:17:30.160 --> 00:17:37.240
having arranged my father's care under the
capable hands of his nurse housekeeper, that

177
00:17:37.400 --> 00:17:44.799
I knew I would not get out
of Berlin. While hostilities continued, I

178
00:17:44.960 --> 00:17:51.839
redoubled my efforts to find out about
Tilde. To this end, I first

179
00:17:51.880 --> 00:18:00.920
needed to locate Bernheim and allay approve
my old suspicions. The Normandy landing had

180
00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:04.720
indeed occurred in the middle of nineteen
forty four, and the war in Europe

181
00:18:04.839 --> 00:18:11.599
was not going in Germany's favor.
When early in nineteen forty five I managed

182
00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:18.640
to find out where Professor Bernheim was
living in his secluded retirement. We had

183
00:18:18.720 --> 00:18:22.000
seen nothing of each other for some
years, not since he suddenly and quietly

184
00:18:22.119 --> 00:18:27.920
left Berlin, and I was told
he had retired due to failing health,

185
00:18:29.920 --> 00:18:34.160
though he'd always seemed very robust to
me. I decided to pay him a

186
00:18:34.240 --> 00:18:41.200
visit, as I continued to hold
on to my suspicions that he had been

187
00:18:41.240 --> 00:18:45.480
some hi instrumental in the disappearance of
Tildy and the whold mon Leaf and household.

188
00:18:48.559 --> 00:18:55.960
I found him living in a run
down yet formerly grand rural property several

189
00:18:56.119 --> 00:19:02.960
miles south of Berlin. His duped
and withered frame was the travesty of his

190
00:19:03.079 --> 00:19:08.599
former solid strength that was only yet
present in the gaze from his cold blue

191
00:19:08.720 --> 00:19:15.559
eyes. After taking the tea tray
from his aged housekeeper, he picked up

192
00:19:15.559 --> 00:19:21.279
an envelope that was propped against the
pot. She is very sick, he

193
00:19:21.480 --> 00:19:26.920
said, as he handed the envelope
to me, and I was overcome with

194
00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:33.079
questions, how, what, when? For how long? Bernheim went on

195
00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:38.279
to explain in cold, calculating terms
that yes, the man Leavings have been

196
00:19:38.319 --> 00:19:44.599
suspected of being Jewish, but it
was then decided that they were not,

197
00:19:45.119 --> 00:19:51.880
though her man Leaving had often expressed
Jewish sympathies. This resulted in his being

198
00:19:51.960 --> 00:19:56.640
sent east to a labor camp.
The mother had been dispatched to a concentration

199
00:19:56.720 --> 00:20:06.799
camp where should the following year from
cerebral tuberculosis. And though we know nothing

200
00:20:06.880 --> 00:20:11.880
of the fate of the whereabouts of
the two younger men Tilleda's brothers, rich

201
00:20:12.240 --> 00:20:18.599
Fewer, Himmler himself had determined Tilda's
fate. As a young, attractive and

202
00:20:18.720 --> 00:20:26.519
accomplished female, Himmler decided that she
was to be entered into a Laban's born

203
00:20:26.640 --> 00:20:32.319
program, breed and clinic that was
set up to promote the Aryan race.

204
00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:41.279
Aryan men were encouraged to impregnate the
female who selected for that purpose. In

205
00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:47.519
truth, the places were nothing more
than high class brothels. Subsequently, they

206
00:20:47.559 --> 00:20:56.279
had become establishment for various genetic and
other unethical experiments. It had been then

207
00:20:56.440 --> 00:21:02.799
that a final dissent in Bernheim had
opted for obscure retirement rather than face his

208
00:21:02.960 --> 00:21:10.640
own threatened deportation as a dissident to
the party's doctrine. He then told me

209
00:21:11.279 --> 00:21:18.400
that a broken til It was now
permanently institutionalized, and that I might not

210
00:21:18.599 --> 00:21:25.200
wish to visit her at the address
I would find inside the envelope. I

211
00:21:25.279 --> 00:21:30.359
assured him that it was my definite
intention to go to see her. I

212
00:21:30.440 --> 00:21:37.160
could not believe the duplicity of this
man, one that I once is revered,

213
00:21:37.319 --> 00:21:42.799
and his obvious and sordid involvement from
the very onset I thought his parting

214
00:21:42.920 --> 00:21:51.759
remark was his unkindest cut. I
tell you this now, Drummeric, because

215
00:21:51.839 --> 00:21:56.079
I'm old and sick, and I
don't want these burdens on my conscience when

216
00:21:56.119 --> 00:22:03.599
I go. But was it his
final pronouncement? Ever? The loyal Nazi

217
00:22:03.960 --> 00:22:07.200
he had not the betrayal up his
sleeve. As I left him to his

218
00:22:07.319 --> 00:22:14.559
shabby surroundings without turning back, I
did not see him shuffling towards the telephone.

219
00:22:15.480 --> 00:22:18.400
I discovered later him must have gone
for it the second I departed.

220
00:22:21.720 --> 00:22:26.440
When I arrived at the mental institution
east of Berlin, where my beloved Tilda

221
00:22:26.599 --> 00:22:30.799
was incarcerated, I asked as a
doctor to see her medical records, but

222
00:22:32.079 --> 00:22:40.279
was politely yet firmly refused, though
my visit to her was allowed. I

223
00:22:40.440 --> 00:22:44.839
followed the stiff back nurse to the
cell like room and was led in.

224
00:22:47.119 --> 00:22:51.200
The nurse left, and I heard
the key turn in the lock as she

225
00:22:51.359 --> 00:22:59.400
returned to her post. Surrounded by
dull brown walls, Tilden I faced each

226
00:22:59.440 --> 00:23:10.279
other in shocked and motionless silence.
I could not believe the awful changes in

227
00:23:10.400 --> 00:23:18.920
her that confronted me. Gone was
the bright, joyful spirit and beauty I

228
00:23:18.960 --> 00:23:25.400
had known and loved. In its
place stood a shrunken, sallow skinned operation

229
00:23:26.480 --> 00:23:32.759
that had been my beautiful and cherished
lover. Her eyes, one so bright

230
00:23:32.839 --> 00:23:40.039
and beguiling, were now sunken and
ill focused. Her once subtle yet strong

231
00:23:40.200 --> 00:23:45.799
fingers were nodded and deformed as she
clasped them to her sunken cheeks, surrounding

232
00:23:45.839 --> 00:23:52.039
the dry, withered lips, once
so full and luscious. Her hard,

233
00:23:52.400 --> 00:23:57.799
icy stare began to destroy my composure. Her unspoken message that it was I

234
00:23:59.240 --> 00:24:04.359
who had caused her to come to
this awful degradation kilt nod at me.

235
00:24:06.039 --> 00:24:11.160
Yet what had I done? Could
I have prevented Ana? The past events?

236
00:24:11.400 --> 00:24:15.839
I could only say her name over
and over and over, Tildee,

237
00:24:17.640 --> 00:24:25.960
Tildee, what have they done to
you? Finally, clasping her arms around

238
00:24:26.000 --> 00:24:30.000
her shrunken shoulder, she turned silently
and moved towards the small bared window.

239
00:24:32.279 --> 00:24:37.880
At that moment, I saw the
extent of the ravages that advanceyphilis had taken,

240
00:24:37.759 --> 00:24:45.640
the characteristic, hard, broad based
gait, an unmistakable sign of late

241
00:24:45.720 --> 00:24:49.680
syphilis, the decease described to me
by my elders when I was a boy,

242
00:24:51.480 --> 00:24:56.680
The disease endlessly passed between men and
women over the centuries, the disease

243
00:24:57.200 --> 00:25:03.240
that led to madness. I cursed
those men who had, in the name

244
00:25:03.359 --> 00:25:11.079
of science, abused her endlessly,
for all their proud arium blood a pox

245
00:25:11.240 --> 00:25:19.400
upon them. But now there was
a newly discovered medication penicillin that promised the

246
00:25:19.480 --> 00:25:26.599
cure, without turning from the window
at last, till they spoke a voice,

247
00:25:26.720 --> 00:25:33.440
hard and rasping, how can you
come here after what chief done to

248
00:25:33.519 --> 00:25:37.279
me? Till live? My love? What did I do? What should

249
00:25:37.279 --> 00:25:41.359
I have done? Differently? You
want to come back? I will be

250
00:25:41.440 --> 00:25:49.319
back till they believe me, Love, I'll be back. Don't come back,

251
00:25:51.799 --> 00:25:56.119
nash. The door opened the omen's
immediately, and the nurse pulled me

252
00:25:56.160 --> 00:26:00.400
outside by my arm. As she
read locked the door, we heard the

253
00:26:00.440 --> 00:26:06.680
sound of breaking glass inside. She
reopened till the cell and I faced my

254
00:26:06.880 --> 00:26:14.000
nightmare, my horror of horror.
Tilde has slashed one of her wrists with

255
00:26:14.119 --> 00:26:18.319
a shard of glass from the broken
window, then plunged the same spike into

256
00:26:18.359 --> 00:26:25.440
her groin and severed her femoral artery. Even as I fell upon her and

257
00:26:25.839 --> 00:26:32.400
tried to stop the pulsating jet of
blood, Tildy died beneath me, And

258
00:26:32.480 --> 00:26:45.119
that was blood everywhere, Tilde Tildy. Then I knew, whatever the cost,

259
00:26:48.119 --> 00:26:52.279
whatever my hypocritic ath demanded, I
would not stop my intention to kill

260
00:26:52.359 --> 00:26:59.920
Hitler. As only I knew how
I would drive him to his own silvery

261
00:27:00.119 --> 00:27:07.960
side. Just as he has joven
my tilty. As I knelt distraught and

262
00:27:07.119 --> 00:27:12.920
blooded beside tilled his body, I
felt firm hands gripped my shoulders. Looking

263
00:27:14.000 --> 00:27:21.720
up, I saw two gustop men
standing behind me. They pulled me unceremonially

264
00:27:22.440 --> 00:27:27.200
to my feet, But I didn't
fear them. No, It's what I

265
00:27:27.400 --> 00:27:42.400
wanted, because I knew where they
would be taking me to him. The
