- 1
- 00:01:18,246 --> 00:01:19,330
- Claude.
- 2
- 00:01:19,956 --> 00:01:21,458
- Put these clothes on.
- 3
- 00:01:55,325 --> 00:01:56,659
- Take only the back roads.
- 4
- 00:01:56,826 --> 00:01:59,346
- The Germans are coming from the east,
- so head south to Brussels.
- 5
- 00:01:59,412 --> 00:02:01,932
- - Yes, Father.
- - God be with you, Claude.
- 6
- 00:03:22,996 --> 00:03:25,957
- Champagne... very nice.
- 7
- 00:03:26,291 --> 00:03:28,459
- You must join me, Doctor Stahl.
- 8
- 00:03:29,878 --> 00:03:32,422
- - Get another glass.
- - With pleasure.
- 9
- 00:03:37,260 --> 00:03:38,303
- Claire?
- 10
- 00:03:38,845 --> 00:03:40,680
- We need another champagne glass.
- 11
- 00:04:06,164 --> 00:04:07,999
- It's for Stahl.
- 12
- 00:04:16,799 --> 00:04:19,969
- This one...
- and this one...
- 13
- 00:04:20,845 --> 00:04:22,472
- to Carinhall.
- 14
- 00:04:30,229 --> 00:04:36,277
- And this will be a present
- for the Führer in Berchtesgaden.
- 15
- 00:04:39,030 --> 00:04:40,323
- What else, Doctor Stahl?
- 16
- 00:05:07,558 --> 00:05:09,727
- This is da Vinci's Last Supper.
- 17
- 00:05:10,478 --> 00:05:14,649
- The British bombers
- leveled three walls and a roof.
- 18
- 00:05:15,733 --> 00:05:20,071
- This is Monte Cassino,
- founded in 529 by Saint Benedict.
- 19
- 00:05:20,238 --> 00:05:21,823
- This is in February.
- 20
- 00:05:22,740 --> 00:05:24,534
- This is Monte Cassino in March,
- 21
- 00:05:24,701 --> 00:05:29,247
- after we dropped 20 tons
- of explosives on it.
- 22
- 00:05:29,706 --> 00:05:33,710
- Mr. President, the simple fact is
- that we are at a point in this war
- 23
- 00:05:33,876 --> 00:05:38,047
- that is most dangerous to the greatest
- historical achievements known to man.
- 24
- 00:05:38,214 --> 00:05:42,260
- But, Professor Stokes,
- understand that this is war.
- 25
- 00:05:42,427 --> 00:05:44,137
- And that lives are lost,
- 26
- 00:05:44,303 --> 00:05:47,890
- and with them, oftentimes,
- their greatest achievements.
- 27
- 00:05:48,057 --> 00:05:50,685
- Yes, sir. There's something more.
- 28
- 00:05:52,603 --> 00:05:54,981
- This is the Ghent Altarpiece.
- 29
- 00:05:55,732 --> 00:05:58,526
- It is the defining monument
- of the Catholic Church.
- 30
- 00:05:58,693 --> 00:06:02,155
- We now know that the Nazis
- have stolen it.
- 31
- 00:06:02,321 --> 00:06:05,033
- Now, while we must and we will,
- sir, win this war,
- 32
- 00:06:05,199 --> 00:06:08,453
- we should also remember
- the high price that will be paid
- 33
- 00:06:08,619 --> 00:06:11,998
- if the very foundation
- of modern society is destroyed.
- 34
- 00:06:12,790 --> 00:06:14,459
- Let's look at where we are now.
- 35
- 00:06:17,295 --> 00:06:19,130
- The Russians are here.
- 36
- 00:06:19,297 --> 00:06:21,466
- The Allies are here
- 37
- 00:06:21,632 --> 00:06:23,509
- and here.
- 38
- 00:06:23,676 --> 00:06:27,764
- In the next few months, God willing,
- we are all going to end up in Berlin.
- 39
- 00:06:27,930 --> 00:06:30,475
- Meaning that we will have blasted
- our way west,
- 40
- 00:06:30,641 --> 00:06:33,770
- through Poland, through Hungary,
- through Austria,
- 41
- 00:06:33,936 --> 00:06:38,191
- north through Rome and Florence,
- 42
- 00:06:38,983 --> 00:06:42,236
- and east through Paris.
- 43
- 00:06:42,403 --> 00:06:44,072
- Then the question must be asked:
- 44
- 00:06:45,656 --> 00:06:49,744
- Who would make sure
- that the Statue of David is still standing,
- 45
- 00:06:50,453 --> 00:06:52,872
- or that Mona Lisa's still smiling?
- 46
- 00:06:53,498 --> 00:06:55,666
- Who would be their protectors?
- 47
- 00:06:56,584 --> 00:06:59,670
- Well, professor, it's
- a very compelling argument.
- 48
- 00:06:59,837 --> 00:07:00,880
- What would you suggest?
- 49
- 00:07:01,964 --> 00:07:04,675
- I suggest you pull
- together young art scholars
- 50
- 00:07:04,842 --> 00:07:07,929
- to get over there
- and identify the great works.
- 51
- 00:07:08,096 --> 00:07:11,057
- Our young art scholars
- are already over there fighting.
- 52
- 00:07:12,558 --> 00:07:14,393
- You have a family?
- 53
- 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,146
- I have a wife and a young son.
- 54
- 00:07:18,481 --> 00:07:20,775
- I might be asking
- a great deal of you, then.
- 55
- 00:07:22,318 --> 00:07:23,986
- I'll do my best, sir.
- 56
- 00:07:35,915 --> 00:07:38,876
- There's a Michelangelo joke
- to be made.
- 57
- 00:07:40,086 --> 00:07:41,879
- You're just the man to make it.
- 58
- 00:07:42,046 --> 00:07:43,589
- You hungry?
- 59
- 00:07:43,756 --> 00:07:45,049
- You buying?
- 60
- 00:07:45,216 --> 00:07:47,009
- Uncle Sam is.
- 61
- 00:07:58,437 --> 00:08:00,606
- - How's Penny?
- - She's swell.
- 62
- 00:08:00,773 --> 00:08:04,110
- I do question her taste.
- So does she.
- 63
- 00:08:04,277 --> 00:08:05,987
- How's the ticker?
- 64
- 00:08:06,571 --> 00:08:07,905
- Still ticking.
- 65
- 00:08:08,072 --> 00:08:10,158
- Want to get in the war?
- 66
- 00:08:12,869 --> 00:08:14,078
- "The Monuments Men."
- 67
- 00:08:14,245 --> 00:08:16,372
- Signed by Roosevelt.
- I see that.
- 68
- 00:08:16,539 --> 00:08:19,709
- I'm to put a team together
- and try to protect what's left,
- 69
- 00:08:19,876 --> 00:08:21,419
- and find what's missing.
- 70
- 00:08:21,586 --> 00:08:24,422
- Aren't you a little old for that?
- Yes.
- 71
- 00:08:25,548 --> 00:08:28,217
- You want to go into a war zone
- and tell our boys
- 72
- 00:08:28,384 --> 00:08:31,429
- what they can and cannot blow up.
- That's the idea.
- 73
- 00:08:31,596 --> 00:08:34,140
- Okay. How many men?
- For now, six.
- 74
- 00:08:34,307 --> 00:08:35,850
- Jesus.
- Mm.
- 75
- 00:08:36,017 --> 00:08:38,519
- With you, that's seven.
- That's much better.
- 76
- 00:08:38,686 --> 00:08:42,273
- We'll go through basic in Shrivenham,
- England, then wait for orders.
- 77
- 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:43,566
- Basic?
- Mm-hm.
- 78
- 00:08:43,733 --> 00:08:46,986
- Basic training. Us?
- 79
- 00:08:48,821 --> 00:08:50,281
- Oh, boy.
- 80
- 00:08:50,448 --> 00:08:52,825
- You're gonna need a point man
- in England.
- 81
- 00:08:52,992 --> 00:08:54,994
- Yeah, Donald Jeffries.
- He's a drunk.
- 82
- 00:08:55,161 --> 00:08:57,496
- You're a drunk.
- That's true. Pass me that.
- 83
- 00:08:57,663 --> 00:09:00,917
- But isn't Donald Jeffries in jail?
- No, he didn't go to jail.
- 84
- 00:09:01,083 --> 00:09:03,044
- His father paid the money back.
- Mm.
- 85
- 00:09:03,211 --> 00:09:05,338
- How about his wife?
- Did she stick it out?
- 86
- 00:09:05,504 --> 00:09:07,506
- No, nobody stuck it out.
- 87
- 00:09:10,134 --> 00:09:12,220
- So when do we start?
- 88
- 00:11:49,335 --> 00:11:52,296
- Good to see you! Frank. James.
- Donald.
- 89
- 00:11:52,463 --> 00:11:55,049
- The chaps are all very anxious
- to get started.
- 90
- 00:11:55,216 --> 00:11:57,718
- You're a lieutenant?
- They are getting desperate.
- 91
- 00:11:57,885 --> 00:12:01,180
- Don't let Churchill hear that.
- James, how's your lovely wife?
- 92
- 00:12:01,347 --> 00:12:04,683
- Fine. She told me to send you a kiss,
- which I won't deliver.
- 93
- 00:12:04,850 --> 00:12:06,644
- I'll just shake.
- You usually do.
- 94
- 00:12:06,894 --> 00:12:08,479
- Not anymore. I'm on the wagon.
- 95
- 00:12:08,646 --> 00:12:10,314
- Since when?
- Nine this morning.
- 96
- 00:12:10,481 --> 00:12:11,941
- Congratulations.
- 97
- 00:12:12,108 --> 00:12:13,150
- Thank you, private.
- 98
- 00:12:13,317 --> 00:12:15,486
- This is Private
- Epstein, from New Jersey.
- 99
- 00:12:15,653 --> 00:12:17,014
- You don't say. Whereabouts?
- 100
- 00:12:17,154 --> 00:12:19,532
- Newark. But really the north side.
- 101
- 00:12:19,698 --> 00:12:21,826
- Of Newark?
- Yes, sir. The north side.
- 102
- 00:12:21,992 --> 00:12:23,702
- That's what I thought.
- Indeed.
- 103
- 00:12:23,869 --> 00:12:26,205
- I was born in Germany.
- The north side.
- 104
- 00:12:26,372 --> 00:12:29,208
- How are the fellas making out?
- Like Olympians.
- 105
- 00:12:29,375 --> 00:12:30,418
- Yes, sir.
- 106
- 00:12:30,584 --> 00:12:34,547
- We have your architect from
- Chicago, Sergeant Richard Campbell.
- 107
- 00:12:34,713 --> 00:12:37,925
- And we have a Frenchman,
- Lieutenant Jean-Claude Clermont,
- 108
- 00:12:38,092 --> 00:12:42,346
- director of design at the Chalet School
- of Fine Arts before the war.
- 109
- 00:12:43,097 --> 00:12:45,724
- - Is Preston here?
- - Private Preston Savitz.
- 110
- 00:12:45,891 --> 00:12:47,692
- Private? That won't sit well with him.
- 111
- 00:12:47,852 --> 00:12:49,186
- It doesn't.
- 112
- 00:12:51,355 --> 00:12:54,275
- Finally we have your sculptor,
- Sergeant Walter Garfield.
- 113
- 00:12:54,442 --> 00:12:57,111
- He's a good egg. I worked with him
- on the World War I memorial
- 114
- 00:12:57,278 --> 00:12:58,529
- in St. Louis.
- Uh-huh.
- 115
- 00:12:58,696 --> 00:13:00,448
- Hey, Stokes!
- 116
- 00:13:02,533 --> 00:13:03,868
- How are you, old boy?
- 117
- 00:13:04,118 --> 00:13:06,704
- Hey, Walter. How
- are they treating you?
- 118
- 00:13:06,871 --> 00:13:11,083
- Been taking it pretty easy on us.
- I think they feel sorry for us old guys.
- 119
- 00:13:11,250 --> 00:13:13,169
- I don't much fancy
- an obstacle course.
- 120
- 00:13:13,335 --> 00:13:14,420
- It's not so bad.
- 121
- 00:13:14,587 --> 00:13:18,757
- You're just crawling on your belly while
- teenagers shoot blanks over your head.
- 122
- 00:13:18,924 --> 00:13:20,509
- Well, yes and no.
- 123
- 00:13:20,676 --> 00:13:22,761
- How's that?
- Yes, they are teenagers.
- 124
- 00:13:22,928 --> 00:13:25,055
- And no?
- They're not blanks.
- 125
- 00:13:26,557 --> 00:13:30,186
- We're meeting up after mess.
- Let the other chaps know, will you?
- 126
- 00:13:30,352 --> 00:13:32,855
- Try not to get shot in the meantime.
- 127
- 00:13:35,399 --> 00:13:38,486
- I'm guessing you have all
- gotten to know each other by now.
- 128
- 00:13:38,652 --> 00:13:40,321
- Basic training will do that.
- 129
- 00:13:40,488 --> 00:13:43,491
- You've been selected by myself
- and Lieutenant Jeffries
- 130
- 00:13:43,657 --> 00:13:45,951
- because we need your knowledge
- and skill.
- 131
- 00:13:46,118 --> 00:13:48,913
- We have been tasked
- to find and protect
- 132
- 00:13:49,079 --> 00:13:52,208
- buildings, monuments, and art.
- 133
- 00:13:52,374 --> 00:13:54,376
- Private, will you get those lights?
- 134
- 00:13:56,086 --> 00:13:59,089
- Did you know they were shooting
- at us with real bullets?
- 135
- 00:13:59,256 --> 00:14:00,674
- Yes.
- 136
- 00:14:00,841 --> 00:14:02,760
- Everyone's favorite dictator.
- 137
- 00:14:04,929 --> 00:14:08,807
- Age 19, and before his romantic novel
- Mein Kampf,
- 138
- 00:14:08,974 --> 00:14:12,770
- he was a failed art student
- at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna.
- 139
- 00:14:12,937 --> 00:14:14,657
- Hitler painted that?
- It's not bad.
- 140
- 00:14:14,813 --> 00:14:17,816
- - Eh, it's not good.
- - This photograph
- 141
- 00:14:17,983 --> 00:14:20,694
- has been obtained by the OSS.
- 142
- 00:14:20,861 --> 00:14:23,155
- It's a model of his planned
- fuhrer Museum,
- 143
- 00:14:23,322 --> 00:14:25,908
- to be built in his hometown
- of Linz in Austria.
- 144
- 00:14:26,075 --> 00:14:29,328
- Fuhrer Museum?
- It'd be one of the biggest in the world.
- 145
- 00:14:29,495 --> 00:14:31,247
- Gonna take a lot of art to fill that up.
- 146
- 00:14:31,413 --> 00:14:32,498
- Exactly right.
- 147
- 00:14:32,665 --> 00:14:36,877
- We already know he's stealing art from
- Amsterdam, Warsaw, and from Paris.
- 148
- 00:14:37,044 --> 00:14:40,214
- The French are hiding it,
- the Germans are finding and taking it.
- 149
- 00:14:40,381 --> 00:14:41,924
- This is why Hitler
- didn't bomb Paris.
- 150
- 00:14:42,633 --> 00:14:43,759
- He bombed London.
- 151
- 00:14:43,926 --> 00:14:45,636
- Yes, I know.
- 152
- 00:14:46,053 --> 00:14:47,555
- Have they started building?
- 153
- 00:14:47,721 --> 00:14:49,848
- No. That's the point.
- 154
- 00:14:50,015 --> 00:14:53,978
- They're stealing the art
- and hiding it somewhere.
- 155
- 00:14:54,144 --> 00:14:58,107
- We think they're hiding it in homes
- in this area and towards the east.
- 156
- 00:14:58,816 --> 00:15:01,235
- Our boys are in Normandy
- giving them hell,
- 157
- 00:15:01,402 --> 00:15:05,322
- so that means it's our turn next,
- over the Channel and into France.
- 158
- 00:15:06,156 --> 00:15:07,950
- When?
- 159
- 00:15:08,117 --> 00:15:10,160
- Soon.
- We're gonna start with James.
- 160
- 00:15:10,327 --> 00:15:13,414
- He has a friend in Paris,
- director of the National Museum.
- 161
- 00:15:13,581 --> 00:15:16,750
- If he's still alive.
- If he's alive, he'll have some idea
- 162
- 00:15:16,917 --> 00:15:20,379
- where the French art has been hidden.
- We need that information.
- 163
- 00:15:20,546 --> 00:15:23,340
- Lieutenant,
- you'll cross the Channel to Deauville.
- 164
- 00:15:23,507 --> 00:15:26,218
- A contact named Emile
- will get you into Paris.
- 165
- 00:15:26,427 --> 00:15:29,179
- Well, it's a good thing
- I'm fluent in French.
- 166
- 00:15:29,346 --> 00:15:30,806
- Do we get to kill anybody?
- 167
- 00:15:30,973 --> 00:15:34,226
- I don't know about you guys,
- but I'd like to kill somebody.
- 168
- 00:15:34,393 --> 00:15:37,813
- You want to shoot Hitler, private?
- I wouldn't mind it.
- 169
- 00:15:38,063 --> 00:15:41,066
- And Richard, if you call me "private"
- again, I will take a shot at you.
- 170
- 00:15:42,484 --> 00:15:43,777
- Okay, so that's it.
- 171
- 00:15:44,528 --> 00:15:46,447
- We'll ship out in the next few days.
- 172
- 00:15:46,614 --> 00:15:50,284
- Although the war is coming to an end,
- it isn't any less dangerous.
- 173
- 00:15:50,451 --> 00:15:53,370
- So walk carefully,
- take no undue chances.
- 174
- 00:15:53,537 --> 00:15:57,750
- And remember that your lives
- are more important than a piece of art.
- 175
- 00:16:39,541 --> 00:16:42,461
- Sarge, can you tell us where to find
- command and control?
- 176
- 00:16:42,628 --> 00:16:44,189
- Just got here?
- Yeah.
- 177
- 00:16:44,338 --> 00:16:47,925
- Top brass command post is about
- a quarter-mile that way, past K.P.
- 178
- 00:16:48,092 --> 00:16:49,426
- Thanks!
- 179
- 00:16:50,427 --> 00:16:51,970
- What?
- 180
- 00:16:57,810 --> 00:17:00,354
- If you'd read the orders...
- I don't give a shit.
- 181
- 00:17:00,521 --> 00:17:03,065
- The orders say,
- "Don't knock out old buildings..."
- 182
- 00:17:03,232 --> 00:17:05,109
- To be fair...
- Do not interrupt me!
- 183
- 00:17:05,984 --> 00:17:08,570
- If you think I'll write home
- to some kid's mom
- 184
- 00:17:08,737 --> 00:17:13,409
- saying her boy's dead because we couldn't
- take out a church tower, I will not.
- 185
- 00:17:13,575 --> 00:17:15,369
- So have at it.
- 186
- 00:17:15,536 --> 00:17:17,579
- Anything else?
- 187
- 00:17:20,207 --> 00:17:21,792
- No, sir.
- 188
- 00:17:29,049 --> 00:17:30,801
- I think that went well.
- 189
- 00:17:30,968 --> 00:17:32,803
- Looks like we're walking.
- 190
- 00:18:11,175 --> 00:18:12,843
- Don't stand there.
- 191
- 00:18:13,010 --> 00:18:14,636
- Come in.
- 192
- 00:18:18,307 --> 00:18:19,747
- What are you doing here?
- 193
- 00:18:20,684 --> 00:18:22,519
- Looking for you.
- 194
- 00:18:23,353 --> 00:18:24,855
- Sit down.
- 195
- 00:18:33,030 --> 00:18:34,740
- Do you know why I'm here?
- 196
- 00:18:35,407 --> 00:18:40,204
- Mm.
- You have a brother. Peter, yes?
- 197
- 00:18:43,207 --> 00:18:44,708
- Yes, you do.
- 198
- 00:18:45,375 --> 00:18:47,085
- Are you close?
- 199
- 00:18:48,879 --> 00:18:50,589
- He's my brother.
- 200
- 00:18:51,048 --> 00:18:54,510
- Why didn't you tell me
- he fought for the Resistance?
- 201
- 00:18:56,261 --> 00:18:57,888
- He doesn't.
- 202
- 00:18:58,222 --> 00:19:00,766
- He doesn't now.
- He was shot this morning.
- 203
- 00:19:00,933 --> 00:19:02,601
- He was trying to steal a truck.
- 204
- 00:19:03,060 --> 00:19:05,813
- A truck filled with artwork
- going to Germany.
- 205
- 00:19:05,979 --> 00:19:07,356
- And he was shot dead.
- 206
- 00:19:12,444 --> 00:19:15,155
- How do you think he knew
- about that truck?
- 207
- 00:19:22,746 --> 00:19:24,414
- You see, Claire,
- 208
- 00:19:24,915 --> 00:19:26,917
- because you know the museum,
- 209
- 00:19:27,584 --> 00:19:30,587
- all the collectors, the art,
- 210
- 00:19:30,754 --> 00:19:32,589
- you have a value to me.
- 211
- 00:19:32,923 --> 00:19:36,385
- And yet I have no doubt that
- if I were to search this apartment,
- 212
- 00:19:36,552 --> 00:19:40,222
- I'd find things that would make
- our working together impossible.
- 213
- 00:19:41,765 --> 00:19:43,392
- Shall I?
- 214
- 00:19:44,268 --> 00:19:46,270
- Do as you wish.
- 215
- 00:19:47,771 --> 00:19:49,565
- I Will.
- 216
- 00:19:50,941 --> 00:19:53,861
- If I find you interfering,
- you won't be fired.
- 217
- 00:19:54,027 --> 00:19:57,239
- You'll be handed over to the SS.
- Is that clear to you?
- 218
- 00:20:02,953 --> 00:20:06,790
- I want his body.
- Then swim to the bottom of the Seine.
- 219
- 00:20:31,815 --> 00:20:33,025
- Granger?
- 220
- 00:20:34,526 --> 00:20:36,820
- Worried was me for minute.
- 221
- 00:20:38,030 --> 00:20:42,534
- I thought maybe Vichy were you
- or I was wrong spot.
- 222
- 00:20:43,702 --> 00:20:45,287
- You speak English?
- 223
- 00:20:45,454 --> 00:20:46,894
- - Yes.
- - Speak English.
- 224
- 00:20:47,039 --> 00:20:48,290
- Okay.
- 225
- 00:20:51,877 --> 00:20:54,588
- Ls there a chance of getting a ride
- into Lisieux?
- 226
- 00:20:54,755 --> 00:20:56,423
- Not a chance, lieutenant.
- 227
- 00:20:56,590 --> 00:20:59,343
- Any luck finding some radios?
- No, sir.
- 228
- 00:20:59,509 --> 00:21:03,347
- You got Lucky Strikes, hash,
- a pair of boots, size 11.
- 229
- 00:21:03,513 --> 00:21:05,265
- What size are you?
- Nine.
- 230
- 00:21:15,859 --> 00:21:17,486
- Hey, Sam!
- 231
- 00:21:17,653 --> 00:21:20,614
- Hey, Sam! Epstein, hey!
- 232
- 00:21:20,781 --> 00:21:22,574
- Hey!
- Hey, lieutenant!
- 233
- 00:21:22,741 --> 00:21:25,744
- Hey, you are a sight for sore eyes.
- What are you driving?
- 234
- 00:21:25,911 --> 00:21:30,332
- Nazis were in hurry, left a few things.
- I'm glad you didn't get left on the beach.
- 235
- 00:21:30,499 --> 00:21:32,793
- I got pulled when they found
- I spoke German.
- 236
- 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:36,588
- What are you, a translator?
- No, I'm nothing till we get to Germany.
- 237
- 00:21:36,755 --> 00:21:38,256
- That's too bad.
- 238
- 00:21:40,258 --> 00:21:41,301
- Who's your CO?
- 239
- 00:22:02,739 --> 00:22:04,074
- He)', Private?
- 240
- 00:22:04,574 --> 00:22:07,828
- I'm looking for Major Feilding.
- Yes, sir. Just over here.
- 241
- 00:22:07,995 --> 00:22:10,330
- Major Feilding, sir!
- Stokes.
- 242
- 00:22:10,497 --> 00:22:13,375
- Hey, John, how are you?
- I wasn't sure we'd find you.
- 243
- 00:22:13,542 --> 00:22:15,168
- I had to hitch a ride.
- What have you got?
- 244
- 00:22:15,669 --> 00:22:18,588
- Look at this.
- I think this fellow's a Monet.
- 245
- 00:22:18,755 --> 00:22:21,675
- That's a Vermeer.
- That's why I asked for you.
- 246
- 00:22:21,842 --> 00:22:26,138
- We took a convoy of Germans hotfooting it out
- of Vernon. A dozen crates filled with these.
- 247
- 00:22:27,264 --> 00:22:30,058
- - A dozen paintings?
- - A dozen crates.
- 248
- 00:22:30,225 --> 00:22:32,728
- Sometimes 30 paintings inside.
- 249
- 00:22:33,937 --> 00:22:36,064
- Can I talk to those Germans?
- 250
- 00:22:36,231 --> 00:22:37,774
- I don't know. Can you?
- 251
- 00:22:39,276 --> 00:22:40,861
- Ask them where they got the paintings.
- 252
- 00:22:42,779 --> 00:22:44,990
- Are there any more trucks like these?
- 253
- 00:22:47,284 --> 00:22:48,326
- Ask them again.
- 254
- 00:23:08,847 --> 00:23:10,348
- Take care.
- Good luck.
- 255
- 00:23:10,515 --> 00:23:13,018
- He said they were going to a town
- called Siegen.
- 256
- 00:23:13,185 --> 00:23:15,187
- Five truckloads were taken
- from this area.
- 257
- 00:23:15,353 --> 00:23:16,396
- Five truckloads.
- 258
- 00:23:16,563 --> 00:23:19,733
- Did he say that?
- No, he said it.
- 259
- 00:23:19,900 --> 00:23:23,737
- He is their commander.
- They switch uniforms.
- 260
- 00:23:23,904 --> 00:23:25,614
- Goddamn.
- 261
- 00:23:28,366 --> 00:23:33,121
- When I see Hitler, I'll
- be sure to give him your best...
- 262
- 00:23:33,789 --> 00:23:35,123
- Captain.
- 263
- 00:23:53,517 --> 00:23:55,227
- My family
- were home builders...
- 264
- 00:23:55,393 --> 00:23:58,730
- my father, his father.
- 265
- 00:23:58,939 --> 00:24:00,816
- I wanted a simpler life.
- 266
- 00:24:00,982 --> 00:24:02,150
- Yeah.
- 267
- 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:05,695
- It is noble when work in dirt.
- 268
- 00:24:07,364 --> 00:24:10,659
- You know, James,
- your French is not good.
- 269
- 00:24:10,826 --> 00:24:12,702
- Where did you learn it?
- 270
- 00:24:12,869 --> 00:24:14,579
- Here and there.
- 271
- 00:24:14,746 --> 00:24:17,707
- I studied in Canada for a while.
- Canada?
- 272
- 00:24:17,874 --> 00:24:20,585
- Montreal.
- Oh, no, no.
- 273
- 00:25:20,645 --> 00:25:22,439
- I see you, Stahl!
- 274
- 00:25:28,278 --> 00:25:30,113
- Where will you hide?
- 275
- 00:25:32,949 --> 00:25:34,451
- I see you!
- 276
- 00:26:01,770 --> 00:26:04,189
- Hey, fellas. Look what we found.
- 277
- 00:26:04,356 --> 00:26:06,816
- - You remember Sam from Newark.
- - Hey, sport.
- 278
- 00:26:06,983 --> 00:26:08,485
- We got ourselves a translator.
- 279
- 00:26:08,652 --> 00:26:10,493
- I think he wanted my car.
- 280
- 00:26:10,570 --> 00:26:12,610
- - Where's Campbell?
- - Savitz shot him.
- 281
- 00:26:15,659 --> 00:26:18,411
- So now we know it's
- not random, it's systematic.
- 282
- 00:26:18,578 --> 00:26:20,997
- Every one of those paintings
- is a masterpiece.
- 283
- 00:26:21,498 --> 00:26:24,960
- They're all headed to the town
- of Siegen in Germany.
- 284
- 00:26:27,045 --> 00:26:30,590
- The Nazis are on the run,
- but they've taken everything with them,
- 285
- 00:26:30,757 --> 00:26:33,593
- so we have to get as close
- to the front as we can.
- 286
- 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:34,844
- Preston,
- 287
- 00:26:35,011 --> 00:26:37,389
- you and Campbell
- head towards Belgium.
- 288
- 00:26:37,555 --> 00:26:40,350
- Specifically, Ghent.
- 289
- 00:26:40,517 --> 00:26:43,061
- - What's in Ghent?
- - It used to be the Altarpiece.
- 290
- 00:26:43,228 --> 00:26:46,189
- They took the Ghent Altarpiece?
- I'll go with Garfield.
- 291
- 00:26:46,356 --> 00:26:50,652
- No, Garfield, you and Jean-Claude
- 292
- 00:26:50,819 --> 00:26:55,115
- get as close to Germany as you can,
- to the city of Aachen.
- 293
- 00:26:55,282 --> 00:26:56,866
- We'll leave in the morning.
- 294
- 00:26:57,033 --> 00:26:59,411
- Why don't you take
- Sam from Newark with you,
- 295
- 00:26:59,577 --> 00:27:02,872
- and I'll head up to my old
- stomping ground, Bruges?
- 296
- 00:27:03,456 --> 00:27:06,501
- There's a Madonna there
- I used to see when I was young.
- 297
- 00:27:06,918 --> 00:27:09,587
- Looks like we're gonna be
- together, buddy.
- 298
- 00:27:14,217 --> 00:27:16,344
- These are German,
- but they might fit.
- 299
- 00:27:16,511 --> 00:27:19,055
- That one will do just fine.
- 300
- 00:27:19,222 --> 00:27:21,141
- Watch this.
- 301
- 00:27:23,518 --> 00:27:24,811
- Any news of Granger?
- 302
- 00:27:24,978 --> 00:27:30,400
- Well, word is they liberated Paris,
- so we should know something soon.
- 303
- 00:27:30,900 --> 00:27:32,569
- Turn that knob right there.
- 304
- 00:27:39,284 --> 00:27:42,662
- Well, I'll be blowed.
- See, I'm not just a pretty face.
- 305
- 00:27:42,829 --> 00:27:44,080
- How's it going, Edison?
- 306
- 00:27:44,247 --> 00:27:46,875
- Would you take that radio
- over there to the boys?
- 307
- 00:27:47,042 --> 00:27:49,753
- Let's see if this damn thing works.
- You bet.
- 308
- 00:27:53,423 --> 00:27:56,343
- Frank, I wanted to say thanks.
- 309
- 00:27:56,926 --> 00:27:58,386
- For what?
- 310
- 00:27:58,845 --> 00:28:00,221
- For another chance.
- 311
- 00:28:01,097 --> 00:28:04,142
- Donnie, we've all screwed up
- on some level.
- 312
- 00:28:04,309 --> 00:28:06,269
- Yours was just...
- 313
- 00:28:06,436 --> 00:28:07,771
- Just at a high level.
- 314
- 00:28:07,979 --> 00:28:10,815
- You're here because you're
- the best man for the job.
- 315
- 00:28:10,982 --> 00:28:12,650
- Not charity?
- 316
- 00:28:13,985 --> 00:28:15,445
- Well, a little.
- 317
- 00:28:18,782 --> 00:28:21,701
- Monuments Men Radio
- is about to go live.
- 318
- 00:28:21,868 --> 00:28:23,370
- I hope we play music.
- 319
- 00:28:23,536 --> 00:28:26,790
- Calling London,
- calling London and all the ships at sea.
- 320
- 00:28:26,956 --> 00:28:28,917
- We read you loud and clear.
- 321
- 00:28:29,084 --> 00:28:32,253
- How far will this thing reach?
- We'll find out tomorrow.
- 322
- 00:28:32,420 --> 00:28:33,671
- Roger that.
- 323
- 00:28:38,009 --> 00:28:39,344
- Are all the fellas there?
- 324
- 00:28:40,011 --> 00:28:41,471
- They are.
- 325
- 00:28:41,971 --> 00:28:43,473
- All right, listen up, fellas.
- 326
- 00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,476
- I think you should know the truth
- as I see it.
- 327
- 00:28:47,477 --> 00:28:50,647
- This mission was never designed
- to succeed.
- 328
- 00:28:51,064 --> 00:28:52,315
- It's, uh...
- 329
- 00:28:52,774 --> 00:28:54,534
- If they were honest,
- they would tell us that.
- 330
- 00:28:55,985 --> 00:28:59,906
- They'd tell us that with this many
- people dying, who cares about art?
- 331
- 00:29:00,448 --> 00:29:03,785
- They're wrong, because that's exactly
- what we're fighting for,
- 332
- 00:29:03,952 --> 00:29:07,997
- for our culture and for our way of life.
- 333
- 00:29:09,374 --> 00:29:12,168
- You can wipe out
- a generation of people,
- 334
- 00:29:12,335 --> 00:29:16,631
- you can burn their homes to the ground,
- and somehow they'll still come back.
- 335
- 00:29:17,507 --> 00:29:22,053
- But if you destroy their achievements
- and their history,
- 336
- 00:29:22,387 --> 00:29:25,098
- then it's like they never existed.
- 337
- 00:29:25,348 --> 00:29:28,601
- Just ash floating.
- 338
- 00:29:31,187 --> 00:29:33,148
- That's what Hitler wants.
- 339
- 00:29:33,398 --> 00:29:36,484
- And it's the one thing
- we simply can't allow.
- 340
- 00:29:41,531 --> 00:29:43,074
- I'll see you in the morning.
- 341
- 00:29:48,079 --> 00:29:50,206
- Now I'm depressed.
- 342
- 00:29:53,585 --> 00:29:55,170
- I want to make a toast.
- 343
- 00:29:55,336 --> 00:29:56,713
- Uh-oh.
- 344
- 00:29:59,299 --> 00:30:02,719
- Um, I think you fellas are...
- 345
- 00:30:06,389 --> 00:30:09,058
- And I'm proud to be a
- Monuments Man.
- 346
- 00:30:10,393 --> 00:30:16,024
- When this all broke out, I wanted to
- be a flier pilot... A fighter pilot.
- 347
- 00:30:16,399 --> 00:30:19,861
- But I got bad eyes,
- my hearing is not good.
- 348
- 00:30:21,070 --> 00:30:24,449
- Right here is the only way
- I get into this war.
- 349
- 00:30:25,617 --> 00:30:28,411
- Now, I'm not some
- New York socialite,
- 350
- 00:30:28,578 --> 00:30:31,498
- I haven't won any awards
- like all of you, but...
- 351
- 00:30:32,415 --> 00:30:34,751
- But I'm guessing you feel the same.
- 352
- 00:30:36,252 --> 00:30:37,837
- This is our time.
- 353
- 00:30:38,588 --> 00:30:41,299
- My country thanks you,
- and I thank you.
- 354
- 00:30:41,466 --> 00:30:43,051
- Screw the Germans.
- 355
- 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:45,261
- Present company expected.
- 356
- 00:30:46,679 --> 00:30:48,389
- To the Monuments Men.
- 357
- 00:30:49,140 --> 00:30:52,101
- To the Monuments.
- To the Monuments Men.
- 358
- 00:30:54,103 --> 00:30:55,772
- You have children?
- 359
- 00:30:56,356 --> 00:30:59,025
- Two, yeah.
- A 12-year-old and a 9-year-old.
- 360
- 00:30:59,192 --> 00:31:01,736
- Boy and girl?
- Two girls.
- 361
- 00:31:01,903 --> 00:31:04,280
- Two girls, hmm.
- Heh-heh, I know.
- 362
- 00:31:05,114 --> 00:31:06,658
- I know.
- 363
- 00:31:06,824 --> 00:31:08,451
- I have a boy.
- 364
- 00:31:08,952 --> 00:31:12,080
- A 17-year-old boy. He's, uh...
- 365
- 00:31:13,122 --> 00:31:16,084
- He's with the Resistance
- up in the north.
- 366
- 00:31:16,251 --> 00:31:17,544
- In the north?
- 367
- 00:31:18,461 --> 00:31:21,381
- Yeah.
- Rough up there.
- 368
- 00:31:21,548 --> 00:31:23,299
- Yeah, it's rough.
- 369
- 00:31:27,387 --> 00:31:29,222
- Hard times.
- 370
- 00:31:30,139 --> 00:31:33,434
- Yeah, hard times.
- 371
- 00:31:41,317 --> 00:31:43,111
- You like to fly?
- 372
- 00:32:09,512 --> 00:32:11,180
- Paris!
- 373
- 00:32:12,348 --> 00:32:13,683
- Pareee!
- 374
- 00:32:32,368 --> 00:32:33,703
- Am I late?
- 375
- 00:32:34,579 --> 00:32:36,456
- By about four years.
- Ha-ha-ha.
- 376
- 00:32:36,623 --> 00:32:38,875
- How are you, James?
- Hello, René.
- 377
- 00:32:39,042 --> 00:32:41,210
- How much of the art did you save?
- 378
- 00:32:41,377 --> 00:32:43,129
- The national collection is safe.
- 379
- 00:32:43,296 --> 00:32:46,299
- But the private collections,
- they are all gone.
- 380
- 00:32:46,466 --> 00:32:48,217
- All the private collectors?
- 381
- 00:32:48,384 --> 00:32:52,472
- All the private Jewish collectors,
- by decree, are illegitimate.
- 382
- 00:32:52,639 --> 00:32:54,766
- Goering used this place to shop.
- 383
- 00:32:55,350 --> 00:32:57,226
- And take them where?
- 384
- 00:32:57,393 --> 00:32:59,979
- Germany. To their homes.
- 385
- 00:33:00,521 --> 00:33:02,398
- Well, René,
- 386
- 00:33:03,191 --> 00:33:06,235
- the U.S. Army would like
- to help you get them back.
- 387
- 00:33:10,114 --> 00:33:11,991
- I'm happy to hear you say that.
- 388
- 00:33:12,158 --> 00:33:13,701
- Where do we start?
- 389
- 00:33:13,868 --> 00:33:15,745
- Claire Simone.
- 390
- 00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:34,013
- Claire Simone?
- 391
- 00:33:38,393 --> 00:33:43,398
- Hoping was I to speak about art...
- 392
- 00:33:44,273 --> 00:33:46,984
- the stolen art.
- 393
- 00:33:48,027 --> 00:33:49,153
- Yeah?
- 394
- 00:33:53,074 --> 00:33:58,121
- I'd like to forcefully introduce myself.
- I am James Granger...
- 395
- 00:33:58,830 --> 00:34:03,418
- and I'm the curator
- of Medieval art at the Met...
- 396
- 00:34:03,584 --> 00:34:04,627
- New York.
- 397
- 00:34:05,044 --> 00:34:06,379
- I know who you are.
- 398
- 00:34:06,546 --> 00:34:11,134
- Then you know I'd like to help.
- 399
- 00:34:11,300 --> 00:34:12,760
- I know nothing.
- 400
- 00:34:12,969 --> 00:34:15,304
- And will you
- stop speaking in French?
- 401
- 00:34:15,471 --> 00:34:17,849
- Or whatever language
- you are speaking.
- 402
- 00:34:20,435 --> 00:34:23,187
- Well, if it weren't
- for us, you'd be speaking German.
- 403
- 00:34:24,272 --> 00:34:27,900
- No. If it wasn't for you,
- I might be dead.
- 404
- 00:34:28,067 --> 00:34:30,695
- But I would still be
- speaking French.
- 405
- 00:34:33,448 --> 00:34:35,825
- Okay.
- So,
- 406
- 00:34:36,784 --> 00:34:40,455
- how can I help you steal our stolen art?
- That's not why I'm here.
- 407
- 00:34:40,621 --> 00:34:44,250
- I'm here to help you get it back.
- Yes, to fill your museum.
- 408
- 00:34:45,293 --> 00:34:48,421
- I'm told you were at the Jeu de Paume
- during the occupation.
- 409
- 00:34:49,422 --> 00:34:52,675
- I was.
- I'm interested in what you saw there.
- 410
- 00:34:52,967 --> 00:34:57,430
- Goering came more than 20 times,
- you know, took whatever he wanted.
- 411
- 00:34:57,597 --> 00:34:58,931
- Where did they take them?
- 412
- 00:34:59,098 --> 00:35:01,642
- Who knows?
- I think you do know.
- 413
- 00:35:01,809 --> 00:35:02,852
- Ah.
- 414
- 00:35:03,019 --> 00:35:04,687
- You've been speaking with René.
- 415
- 00:35:05,271 --> 00:35:06,898
- Were you there the whole time?
- 416
- 00:35:07,690 --> 00:35:10,485
- Of course. I'm a collaborator.
- Haven't you heard?
- 417
- 00:35:10,651 --> 00:35:13,613
- I helped the Germans steal our art.
- 418
- 00:35:13,780 --> 00:35:15,490
- And that's why you're here?
- 419
- 00:35:15,990 --> 00:35:17,658
- What do you think?
- 420
- 00:35:18,201 --> 00:35:20,244
- I think you worked
- with the Resistance.
- 421
- 00:35:20,411 --> 00:35:22,872
- And I think I can convince them
- to let you out.
- 422
- 00:35:23,164 --> 00:35:24,707
- Why?
- 423
- 00:35:24,874 --> 00:35:27,126
- Do you know where the art
- was taken?
- 424
- 00:35:27,293 --> 00:35:30,505
- Who's asking?
- The curator of the Met?
- 425
- 00:35:37,220 --> 00:35:40,223
- We put all of the panels in a truck,
- sent it to Brussels
- 426
- 00:35:40,389 --> 00:35:43,643
- with two priests. But the Germans
- found them and took them.
- 427
- 00:35:43,810 --> 00:35:45,520
- May I speak to the priests?
- 428
- 00:35:46,187 --> 00:35:47,814
- They were shot.
- 429
- 00:35:51,776 --> 00:35:55,947
- If we're gonna find it, we'll have to jump
- ahead of the Third Army into Germany.
- 430
- 00:35:56,113 --> 00:35:58,783
- Number one priority, Preston.
- You understand?
- 431
- 00:35:58,950 --> 00:36:00,868
- The Nazis can't keep it.
- 432
- 00:36:01,202 --> 00:36:02,787
- We'll find it.
- 433
- 00:36:03,204 --> 00:36:04,580
- I know you will.
- 434
- 00:36:04,747 --> 00:36:07,291
- Keep your head down.
- Will do.
- 435
- 00:36:08,709 --> 00:36:09,877
- It says the Altarpiece
- 436
- 00:36:10,044 --> 00:36:13,381
- is one of the most desired
- pieces of art.
- 437
- 00:36:13,548 --> 00:36:15,550
- How'd you read all that?
- 438
- 00:36:16,050 --> 00:36:18,761
- It's in English.
- Yeah, I know that.
- 439
- 00:36:18,928 --> 00:36:21,556
- I just wasn't actually aware
- you could read.
- 440
- 00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:33,818
- Psst!
- 441
- 00:36:38,155 --> 00:36:39,407
- Easy.
- 442
- 00:36:40,616 --> 00:36:43,494
- So, Sam,
- when did you leave Germany?
- 443
- 00:36:43,661 --> 00:36:48,082
- 1938. Yeah, I was 13.
- 444
- 00:36:48,249 --> 00:36:50,960
- Did your family go with you?
- Yeah, my parents.
- 445
- 00:36:51,127 --> 00:36:53,170
- My grandfather stayed behind.
- 446
- 00:36:53,337 --> 00:36:56,465
- What city?
- Karlsru he.
- 447
- 00:36:56,883 --> 00:36:59,427
- Yeah, you know,
- there's a famous museum there.
- 448
- 00:36:59,594 --> 00:37:01,971
- Had one of Rembrandt's self-portraits.
- 449
- 00:37:02,138 --> 00:37:04,932
- See? You were born
- to be a Monuments Man.
- 450
- 00:37:05,099 --> 00:37:08,352
- I've never seen that painting.
- No, me neither.
- 451
- 00:37:08,728 --> 00:37:10,354
- We weren't allowed.
- 452
- 00:37:10,521 --> 00:37:14,400
- My grandfather would tell me
- it was because we were too short.
- 453
- 00:37:15,067 --> 00:37:18,279
- And then war broke out,
- 454
- 00:37:18,738 --> 00:37:21,782
- and all of Europe
- was too short for Hitler.
- 455
- 00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:25,536
- Have you heard from
- your grandfather?
- 456
- 00:37:25,703 --> 00:37:27,747
- No, not for four years.
- 457
- 00:37:28,247 --> 00:37:30,458
- He was taken away.
- 458
- 00:37:31,417 --> 00:37:34,003
- Away where?
- Dachau.
- 459
- 00:37:46,432 --> 00:37:48,351
- Hey, how does that work?
- 460
- 00:37:56,108 --> 00:37:57,818
- What's going on?
- 461
- 00:38:07,787 --> 00:38:10,081
- This seems to be a bit of a problem.
- 462
- 00:38:10,247 --> 00:38:11,791
- A bit.
- 463
- 00:38:16,963 --> 00:38:18,798
- Here's a thought.
- 464
- 00:38:20,466 --> 00:38:22,093
- We put down our guns.
- 465
- 00:38:22,468 --> 00:38:23,844
- You go your way.
- 466
- 00:38:24,804 --> 00:38:26,472
- We go our way.
- 467
- 00:38:27,139 --> 00:38:28,975
- No hard feelings.
- 468
- 00:38:33,312 --> 00:38:35,439
- He doesn't speak any English.
- 469
- 00:38:35,606 --> 00:38:36,941
- Not a word.
- 470
- 00:38:37,984 --> 00:38:39,443
- Okay.
- 471
- 00:38:41,904 --> 00:38:43,531
- You're just going to sit down?
- 472
- 00:38:43,698 --> 00:38:46,742
- Yeah, why don't we all
- just sit down for a sec?
- 473
- 00:38:47,159 --> 00:38:48,536
- Okay.
- 474
- 00:38:49,161 --> 00:38:50,287
- All right.
- 475
- 00:38:50,913 --> 00:38:52,581
- Shh, Shh, shh.
- 476
- 00:38:52,748 --> 00:38:53,833
- Okay.
- 477
- 00:39:26,198 --> 00:39:27,867
- I don't smoke.
- 478
- 00:39:29,702 --> 00:39:32,371
- Take a cigarette.
- I don't smoke.
- 479
- 00:39:32,538 --> 00:39:34,582
- Take a goddamn cigarette.
- 480
- 00:39:42,465 --> 00:39:43,632
- Mm.
- 481
- 00:40:14,914 --> 00:40:16,248
- John Wayne.
- 482
- 00:40:18,751 --> 00:40:20,086
- John Wayne.
- 483
- 00:40:31,263 --> 00:40:33,599
- Shouldn't we have arrested him
- or something?
- 484
- 00:40:35,101 --> 00:40:36,936
- He's not going anywhere.
- 485
- 00:40:37,853 --> 00:40:39,414
- What was taken?
- 486
- 00:40:39,438 --> 00:40:42,608
- The bust of Charlemagne,
- the shrine holding the robe of Mary.
- 487
- 00:40:42,775 --> 00:40:43,859
- Okay. How far east?
- 488
- 00:40:44,026 --> 00:40:46,695
- I heard one commandant
- mention the town of Merkers.
- 489
- 00:40:46,862 --> 00:40:49,615
- Merkers?
- Sir, please... we have no quarrel with you.
- 490
- 00:40:49,782 --> 00:40:53,327
- And we have none with you.
- Let us have them back, don't keep them.
- 491
- 00:40:53,494 --> 00:40:54,537
- Father...
- 492
- 00:40:54,703 --> 00:40:55,746
- Look out!
- 493
- 00:41:07,299 --> 00:41:08,634
- Okay.
- 494
- 00:41:09,969 --> 00:41:12,388
- So one of us has to distract him,
- 495
- 00:41:12,555 --> 00:41:14,348
- the other one takes him out.
- 496
- 00:41:14,974 --> 00:41:16,809
- Sounds like a good plan.
- 497
- 00:41:17,643 --> 00:41:18,894
- All right.
- 498
- 00:41:19,478 --> 00:41:20,980
- Okay, I'll take him out.
- 499
- 00:41:21,147 --> 00:41:22,314
- I'll take him out.
- 500
- 00:41:22,481 --> 00:41:24,316
- You have a family. so do you
- 501
- 00:41:30,322 --> 00:41:33,367
- Okay, you go distract
- and I'll take care of business.
- 502
- 00:41:35,161 --> 00:41:36,579
- All right.
- 503
- 00:41:37,580 --> 00:41:39,623
- I've never shot anyone before.
- 504
- 00:41:40,833 --> 00:41:42,835
- It's easy.
- Have you?
- 505
- 00:41:43,002 --> 00:41:45,087
- I'm about to.
- 506
- 00:41:46,130 --> 00:41:50,426
- Okay, I'll shoot, you go.
- 507
- 00:42:10,029 --> 00:42:11,238
- Whoa, whoa, whoa!
- 508
- 00:43:03,082 --> 00:43:04,416
- Shit.
- 509
- 00:43:09,922 --> 00:43:13,342
- Maybe we keep this to ourselves.
- I think that's best.
- 510
- 00:43:21,267 --> 00:43:23,852
- Good evening.
- Where's your CO?
- 511
- 00:43:24,019 --> 00:43:26,981
- Colonel Langton, sir.
- I'll take you to him. Follow me.
- 512
- 00:43:27,147 --> 00:43:29,525
- I'm hoping to speak to
- Colonel Langton.
- 513
- 00:43:30,359 --> 00:43:32,236
- Langton here, lieutenant.
- 514
- 00:43:32,403 --> 00:43:35,322
- Donald Jeffries. How do you do?
- Do you have a moment?
- 515
- 00:43:35,489 --> 00:43:37,199
- Can I tempt you with a cognac?
- 516
- 00:43:37,366 --> 00:43:39,743
- You could easily tempt me,
- but no, thank you.
- 517
- 00:43:39,910 --> 00:43:41,537
- Are you bringing us bad news?
- 518
- 00:43:41,704 --> 00:43:44,915
- Not at all, sir, no.
- I was simply hoping to get into town.
- 519
- 00:43:45,082 --> 00:43:46,792
- What town, Bruges? Why?
- Bruges.
- 520
- 00:43:46,959 --> 00:43:50,462
- Colonel, my job is to protect art,
- so that when this war is over,
- 521
- 00:43:50,629 --> 00:43:52,589
- there will still be some, you see.
- 522
- 00:43:52,756 --> 00:43:56,176
- In a cathedral in Bruges is
- Michelangelo's Madonna and Child,
- 523
- 00:43:56,343 --> 00:43:59,346
- his only sculpture to leave Italy
- during his lifetime.
- 524
- 00:43:59,513 --> 00:44:03,392
- And if it can be helped, I'd like to see it
- still standing there tomorrow.
- 525
- 00:44:03,559 --> 00:44:06,603
- You do have an unusual job,
- lieutenant.
- 526
- 00:44:06,770 --> 00:44:09,732
- There is some good news.
- We're not going into Bruges.
- 527
- 00:44:09,898 --> 00:44:11,817
- We've made a deal with the mayor.
- 528
- 00:44:12,651 --> 00:44:15,612
- We won't attack the city
- and the Germans are leaving.
- 529
- 00:44:15,779 --> 00:44:17,865
- We'll resume fighting outside Bruges.
- 530
- 00:44:18,073 --> 00:44:21,035
- If we catch them.
- They're running at a fair clip.
- 531
- 00:44:21,201 --> 00:44:23,412
- Have you seen this, colonel?
- 532
- 00:44:24,038 --> 00:44:26,749
- The Germans destroyed Florence
- when they pulled out.
- 533
- 00:44:26,915 --> 00:44:28,625
- They'll do the same to Bruges.
- 534
- 00:44:28,792 --> 00:44:32,129
- No, lieutenant, they're not.
- This isn't Italy.
- 535
- 00:44:32,296 --> 00:44:35,257
- The war is ending.
- These Germans just want to get home.
- 536
- 00:44:35,424 --> 00:44:38,677
- They've not destroyed any French
- villages. They're on the run.
- 537
- 00:44:38,844 --> 00:44:42,806
- If you could let me have two guards...
- The Germans don't have the time.
- 538
- 00:44:42,973 --> 00:44:46,101
- They don't have the explosives,
- or even the damn tanks.
- 539
- 00:44:46,268 --> 00:44:50,272
- No, I will not risk a street-to-street
- battle. We will honor our agreement.
- 540
- 00:44:50,439 --> 00:44:54,526
- When we get to Bruges, you can finish
- your job in the cathedral. Understood?
- 541
- 00:44:55,736 --> 00:44:57,321
- I understand.
- 542
- 00:44:58,447 --> 00:45:00,449
- Is there anything else?
- 543
- 00:45:02,409 --> 00:45:04,286
- No, sir. Thank you.
- 544
- 00:46:53,979 --> 00:46:56,190
- Any of you speak English?
- 545
- 00:46:58,609 --> 00:47:00,903
- Are you Catholic, lieutenant?
- 546
- 00:47:03,322 --> 00:47:05,073
- I am tonight.
- 547
- 00:47:08,118 --> 00:47:09,995
- Dear Father.
- 548
- 00:47:10,162 --> 00:47:15,209
- Weep you might when you hear of my
- many adventures with these fine men.
- 549
- 00:47:15,375 --> 00:47:18,879
- It would remind you of our
- treasure hunts when I was a boy.
- 550
- 00:47:19,338 --> 00:47:21,965
- But rather than a whistle or a top,
- 551
- 00:47:22,132 --> 00:47:25,886
- our prizes are Rembrandts
- and Rubens.
- 552
- 00:47:32,184 --> 00:47:35,395
- It feels odd that in a place
- with so much death,
- 553
- 00:47:35,562 --> 00:47:38,106
- I've never felt more alive.
- 554
- 00:47:38,857 --> 00:47:41,818
- My thoughts soar with the tales
- 555
- 00:47:41,985 --> 00:47:45,739
- these streets could tell of
- the Madonna's long journey to Paris
- 556
- 00:47:45,906 --> 00:47:49,284
- and her triumphant return
- with the fall of Napoleon.
- 557
- 00:47:50,035 --> 00:47:53,872
- You can see her porcelain hand
- gently holding the small boy
- 558
- 00:47:54,039 --> 00:47:58,502
- as if to guard him from a fate
- she knew would come.
- 559
- 00:48:09,721 --> 00:48:16,103
- I know in a time of war my endeavor
- must seem small, and perhaps it is.
- 560
- 00:48:16,270 --> 00:48:19,439
- But I remain diligent and resolute
- in my belief
- 561
- 00:48:19,606 --> 00:48:23,735
- that great works of art
- can never belong to any one individual.
- 562
- 00:48:23,902 --> 00:48:25,320
- At least not in spirit.
- 563
- 00:48:29,575 --> 00:48:33,829
- The Madonna is as much mine
- as it was Napoleon's.
- 564
- 00:48:34,079 --> 00:48:39,334
- And her hand gently guards me
- from a fate I know will come.
- 565
- 00:48:54,433 --> 00:48:57,311
- Father, I know I've
- been a great disappointment.
- 566
- 00:48:58,228 --> 00:48:59,980
- In defense of the indefensible,
- 567
- 00:49:00,147 --> 00:49:03,692
- my crimes were qualities I found
- in the bottom of a bottle,
- 568
- 00:49:03,859 --> 00:49:05,944
- not actions bent on hurting you.
- 569
- 00:49:28,967 --> 00:49:30,385
- I long for the chance
- 570
- 00:49:30,552 --> 00:49:34,306
- to be back on that pedestal
- you so proudly placed me.
- 571
- 00:49:35,307 --> 00:49:39,019
- Perhaps here
- I can make you proud again.
- 572
- 00:49:39,186 --> 00:49:41,855
- Here at the foot of our Madonna.
- 573
- 00:49:42,022 --> 00:49:45,567
- I am humbled and grateful,
- 574
- 00:49:46,818 --> 00:49:48,904
- and longing for home
- 575
- 00:49:49,655 --> 00:49:51,239
- and rest.
- 576
- 00:49:52,991 --> 00:49:55,243
- I'm in great need of rest.
- 577
- 00:49:56,328 --> 00:49:58,038
- I'll write when I can.
- 578
- 00:49:58,205 --> 00:50:02,042
- Cheers and Godspeed. Donald.
- 579
- 00:50:14,179 --> 00:50:16,765
- You'll see to it
- that his family gets these?
- 580
- 00:50:16,932 --> 00:50:18,433
- We Will.
- 581
- 00:50:21,436 --> 00:50:23,105
- Thank you.
- 582
- 00:50:24,189 --> 00:50:28,151
- Lieutenant, I told him not
- to go, but he was hell-bent.
- 583
- 00:50:30,529 --> 00:50:33,949
- And they took the Madonna?
- That's right.
- 584
- 00:50:35,867 --> 00:50:37,953
- Well, I'd better get her back.
- 585
- 00:50:52,843 --> 00:50:54,386
- What have you got?
- 586
- 00:50:54,553 --> 00:50:57,305
- Yeah, the vicar
- gave us the town of Merkers.
- 587
- 00:50:57,472 --> 00:50:59,558
- They might've stored
- some pieces there.
- 588
- 00:50:59,725 --> 00:51:01,476
- Merkers?
- Yeah.
- 589
- 00:51:01,643 --> 00:51:06,815
- M-E-R-K-E-R-S. Merkers.
- Got xx.
- 590
- 00:51:06,982 --> 00:51:10,569
- Any word from Granger?
- Nothing yet.
- 591
- 00:51:10,736 --> 00:51:13,947
- All hell's breaking loose here.
- They won't let us through.
- 592
- 00:51:14,406 --> 00:51:17,033
- We're to hold up in St. Vith.
- 593
- 00:51:17,200 --> 00:51:18,869
- We'll meet you there.
- 594
- 00:51:21,246 --> 00:51:22,789
- Hell of a thing about Donald.
- 595
- 00:51:25,083 --> 00:51:27,085
- It's a hell of a thing.
- 596
- 00:51:38,346 --> 00:51:41,683
- What is all this?
- People's lives.
- 597
- 00:51:45,604 --> 00:51:47,314
- What people?
- 598
- 00:51:48,273 --> 00:51:49,816
- Jews.
- 599
- 00:52:58,802 --> 00:52:59,928
- They're gone.
- 600
- 00:53:07,853 --> 00:53:09,855
- You get around.
- 601
- 00:53:11,273 --> 00:53:12,858
- I'm a spy, remember?
- 602
- 00:53:16,695 --> 00:53:18,238
- They're not coming back.
- 603
- 00:53:18,697 --> 00:53:22,033
- Well, Claire, my job is to
- find art and return it.
- 604
- 00:53:22,742 --> 00:53:25,579

- like a good place to start.

- Well, what the hell is she afraid of?

- 00:58:36,347 --> 00:58:39,058
- She's afraid we'll keep it,
- like the Russians.
- 664
- 00:58:39,225 --> 00:58:41,227
- The Russians are keeping the art?
- 665
- 00:58:41,394 --> 00:58:43,229
- They lost 20 million people, Frank.
- 666
- 00:58:43,438 --> 00:58:46,274
- They've commissioned
- a trophy brigade
- 667
- 00:58:46,441 --> 00:58:51,070
- to collect and keep all the stolen art.
- To make reparations.
- 668
- 00:58:51,237 --> 00:58:54,282
- "Trophy brigade." You gotta
- love a snappy nickname.
- 669
- 00:58:54,449 --> 00:58:56,284
- Like Monuments Men?
- 670
- 00:58:58,786 --> 00:59:01,039
- I got a letter from Donald's father.
- 671
- 00:59:01,206 --> 00:59:05,001
- Said I should be proud of helping
- Donald get his dignity back.
- 672
- 00:59:08,546 --> 00:59:10,506
- I don't feel very proud.
- 673
- 00:59:11,466 --> 00:59:14,844
- He asked if I found the Madonna.
- I don't even know where to look.
- 674
- 00:59:18,473 --> 00:59:21,809
- We need to know
- what Claire knows, James.
- 675
- 00:59:24,479 --> 00:59:26,314
- I'm close, Frank.
- 676
- 00:59:28,983 --> 00:59:30,443
- Okay.
- 677
- 00:59:31,653 --> 00:59:33,905
- And now we got the Russians.
- 678
- 00:59:37,992 --> 00:59:40,495
- Put the Germans in the truck.
- 679
- 00:59:41,329 --> 00:59:43,498
- Give them some bread.
- 680
- 00:59:48,253 --> 00:59:50,797
- Be careful with those paintings.
- 681
- 00:59:52,173 --> 00:59:53,549
- Touch only the frames.
- 682
- 00:59:55,677 --> 00:59:57,512
- The frames we can replace.
- 683
- 01:00:17,115 --> 01:00:18,616
- Do you know what this is?
- 684
- 01:00:18,783 --> 01:00:21,035
- No.
- It's a directive. The Nero Decree.
- 685
- 01:00:21,202 --> 01:00:23,538
- It is written by Hitler,
- signed by Hitler.
- 686
- 01:00:23,705 --> 01:00:27,500
- It says if he dies or if Germany
- falls, they're to destroy everything.
- 687
- 01:00:30,920 --> 01:00:32,463
- Everything.
- 688
- 01:00:33,715 --> 01:00:35,216
- Where did they take the art?
- 689
- 01:00:36,050 --> 01:00:37,468
- Germany.
- 690
- 01:00:38,553 --> 01:00:40,722
- You understand
- I'm here to help you?
- 691
- 01:00:40,888 --> 01:00:43,725
- I understand you are,
- but you are not in Germany.
- 692
- 01:00:43,891 --> 01:00:46,311
- My men are.
- I don't know your men.
- 693
- 01:00:46,477 --> 01:00:48,563
- You'll have to find
- somebody to trust.
- 694
- 01:00:48,730 --> 01:00:50,857
- Yes, James, you tell me who.
- 695
- 01:01:02,577 --> 01:01:03,828
- What's cooking?
- 696
- 01:01:03,995 --> 01:01:05,455
- Lice.
- 697
- 01:01:06,414 --> 01:01:08,750
- - It's called the Nero Decree.
- - What?
- 698
- 01:01:08,916 --> 01:01:12,003
- Granger took it off a train full of art
- headed for Germany.
- 699
- 01:01:12,170 --> 01:01:18,259
- It says if Hitler dies, they're to destroy
- bridges, train tracks, archives, art.
- 700
- 01:01:18,426 --> 01:01:19,510
- Jesus.
- 701
- 01:01:19,677 --> 01:01:21,888
- So we think most of the art
- went to Siegen?
- 702
- 01:01:22,055 --> 01:01:24,265
- We know it went
- through Siegen and Merkers.
- 703
- 01:01:24,432 --> 01:01:27,602
- - Lot of art to hide in a couple towns.
- - What are you eating?
- 704
- 01:01:27,769 --> 01:01:29,437
- - Homemade jerky. Want some?
- - No.
- 705
- 01:01:29,604 --> 01:01:33,316
- Garfield, let's say you and
- Jean-Claude make your way to Merkers.
- 706
- 01:01:33,900 --> 01:01:35,526
- And then we'll go to Siegen.
- 707
- 01:01:35,693 --> 01:01:37,987
- And we have to hope
- no one kills Hitler.
- 708
- 01:01:40,114 --> 01:01:41,741
- I never thought I'd say that.
- 709
- 01:01:43,117 --> 01:01:44,952
- We'll meet up in Nuremberg.
- 710
- 01:01:45,495 --> 01:01:47,914
- Oh. Oh, God.
- 711
- 01:02:03,638 --> 01:02:04,972
- Ow.
- 712
- 01:02:05,306 --> 01:02:07,642
- That looks really painful.
- It is.
- 713
- 01:02:07,809 --> 01:02:10,144
- Very painful, yeah.
- 714
- 01:02:10,311 --> 01:02:11,729
- So you're artists, heh?
- 715
- 01:02:11,896 --> 01:02:15,024
- No, we're collectors from New York.
- Yeah, this guy's an architect.
- 716
- 01:02:15,358 --> 01:02:16,692
- Oh, ha, ha.
- 717
- 01:02:16,984 --> 01:02:18,694
- I always wanted to see New York.
- 718
- 01:02:18,861 --> 01:02:21,155
- Greatest city in the world.
- 719
- 01:02:21,322 --> 01:02:23,282
- Have you ever seen Munich?
- No.
- 720
- 01:02:23,449 --> 01:02:25,159
- But we will soon.
- 721
- 01:02:30,748 --> 01:02:32,792
- What did he say? What's that?
- 722
- 01:02:33,000 --> 01:02:35,294
- He said not to make me angry.
- 723
- 01:02:37,672 --> 01:02:39,632
- Okay, okay. Let's go.
- Ow!
- 724
- 01:02:46,764 --> 01:02:49,725
- L... I have a nephew
- who studied art in Paris.
- 725
- 01:02:49,892 --> 01:02:53,980
- Yeah, he lives a few miles from here.
- He may be able to help you.
- 726
- 01:02:54,147 --> 01:02:55,523
- Is he a soldier?
- 727
- 01:02:55,690 --> 01:02:59,402
- He was a soldier, heh, heh,
- like you. But he's a good boy.
- 728
- 01:02:59,777 --> 01:03:02,572
- Oh. I'm sure you're all innocent.
- 729
- 01:03:06,367 --> 01:03:08,286
- - Okay, Okay.
- - Ah!
- 730
- 01:03:38,566 --> 01:03:40,943
- So how long were you in Paris?
- 731
- 01:03:41,736 --> 01:03:43,571
- You studied in Paris?
- 732
- 01:03:43,738 --> 01:03:46,741
- Yes, two years.
- My wife and I left Paris.
- 733
- 01:03:50,870 --> 01:03:52,288
- Hmm.
- 734
- 01:03:52,788 --> 01:03:56,000
- These are beautiful paintings.
- I wish. Just copies.
- 735
- 01:03:56,167 --> 01:03:58,669
- Cézanne. Renoir.
- 736
- 01:04:00,046 --> 01:04:01,547
- They're good.
- 737
- 01:04:06,427 --> 01:04:08,721
- So where did you study art?
- 738
- 01:04:08,888 --> 01:04:10,473
- Harvard.
- 739
- 01:04:11,098 --> 01:04:12,600
- Society for Contemporary Art.
- 740
- 01:04:13,684 --> 01:04:19,232
- They're looking for artifacts. They want
- to protect the historic pieces. Huh?
- 741
- 01:04:19,398 --> 01:04:21,692
- It's an honorable thing
- in a time of war.
- 742
- 01:04:22,777 --> 01:04:25,905
- Well, we think the SS
- took the great pieces of art
- 743
- 01:04:26,072 --> 01:04:28,866
- out through France and are hiding it.
- 744
- 01:04:29,450 --> 01:04:34,539
- Yeah, I told them you may be
- able to help, Hermann. Huh?
- 745
- 01:04:35,122 --> 01:04:37,583
- Well, I wasn't SS.
- I was a soldier, like you.
- 746
- 01:04:37,750 --> 01:04:40,336
- If I can help you in any way...
- 747
- 01:04:40,503 --> 01:04:43,089
- Do you know a collector
- named Rothschild?
- 748
- 01:04:43,256 --> 01:04:46,175
- Rothschild.
- Had one of the greatest art collections
- 749
- 01:04:46,342 --> 01:04:47,969
- in the world.
- He's French?
- 750
- 01:04:48,135 --> 01:04:51,389
- Jewish.
- No. No, I don't know him.
- 751
- 01:04:53,891 --> 01:04:55,309
- Uh...
- 752
- 01:04:55,810 --> 01:04:58,271
- Does your wife speak English?
- 753
- 01:04:58,437 --> 01:04:59,522
- No, no.
- 754
- 01:04:59,689 --> 01:05:01,065
- Good.
- 755
- 01:05:05,486 --> 01:05:08,281
- The back of the Cézanne
- 756
- 01:05:08,447 --> 01:05:09,949
- says Rothschild.
- 757
- 01:05:20,293 --> 01:05:21,919
- It was a gift.
- 758
- 01:05:23,462 --> 01:05:25,423
- And the Renoir too?
- 759
- 01:05:49,113 --> 01:05:50,156
- Heil Hitler.
- 760
- 01:05:50,906 --> 01:05:52,617
- Heil Hitler!
- 761
- 01:05:59,874 --> 01:06:01,626
- Heil Hitler.
- 762
- 01:06:14,639 --> 01:06:15,848
- Hey, private.
- 763
- 01:06:17,141 --> 01:06:20,269
- Where's Siegen?
- You're in it, lieutenant.
- 764
- 01:06:34,700 --> 01:06:36,535
- It should be this turn.
- 765
- 01:06:37,078 --> 01:06:38,746
- Who the hell knows?
- 766
- 01:06:39,038 --> 01:06:40,748
- It could have been the last one.
- 767
- 01:06:41,916 --> 01:06:44,794
- If we get to a bell tower,
- we've gone too far.
- 768
- 01:06:45,544 --> 01:06:46,879
- What do you think?
- 769
- 01:06:48,589 --> 01:06:51,425
- I don't think we should go any further
- down this road.
- 770
- 01:07:07,108 --> 01:07:09,610
- Stop, stop, stop.
- Wait, wait, stop, stop, stop.
- 771
- 01:07:12,905 --> 01:07:14,365
- Look at him.
- 772
- 01:07:14,532 --> 01:07:15,825
- He's a beauty.
- 773
- 01:07:15,991 --> 01:07:17,827
- He's a runner.
- 774
- 01:07:18,452 --> 01:07:19,787
- Hey, my friend.
- 775
- 01:07:24,917 --> 01:07:26,961
- I haven't got a thing for you.
- 776
- 01:07:29,296 --> 01:07:30,923
- Offer him a cigarette.
- 777
- 01:07:32,466 --> 01:07:33,926
- You want a cigarette?
- 778
- 01:07:36,303 --> 01:07:37,638
- I guess he doesn't smoke.
- 779
- 01:08:20,347 --> 01:08:21,682
- Jean-Claude?
- 780
- 01:08:58,052 --> 01:08:59,345
- Aah!
- 781
- 01:09:06,894 --> 01:09:08,896
- Goddamn it. Goddamn it.
- 782
- 01:09:09,063 --> 01:09:12,066
- I'm shot! Where am I hit?
- 783
- 01:09:12,233 --> 01:09:14,318
- Jesus Christ.
- 784
- 01:09:19,573 --> 01:09:21,742
- I'm bleeding like a son of a bitch.
- 785
- 01:09:23,410 --> 01:09:25,204
- Dumb-ass way to get killed.
- 786
- 01:09:26,580 --> 01:09:28,123
- Shit, merde!
- 787
- 01:09:29,750 --> 01:09:32,711
- Help! Help me!
- 788
- 01:09:35,047 --> 01:09:36,090
- Please!
- 789
- 01:09:36,257 --> 01:09:38,175
- When we first started this mission,
- 790
- 01:09:38,342 --> 01:09:39,510
- there was some question
- 791
- 01:09:39,677 --> 01:09:42,680
- as to whether we could
- really call ourselves soldiers.
- 792
- 01:09:42,847 --> 01:09:46,725
- Were we risking as much as
- these young men fighting and dying?
- 793
- 01:09:46,892 --> 01:09:49,061
- And I suppose it was fair to ask.
- 794
- 01:09:50,229 --> 01:09:52,940
- Garfield, hold onto this.
- My wife gave it to me.
- 795
- 01:09:53,107 --> 01:09:54,817
- I don't want to get blood on it.
- 796
- 01:09:56,443 --> 01:09:59,613
- Jean-Claude, you hang on to it
- right now.
- 797
- 01:10:00,114 --> 01:10:03,325
- We are no longer observers to war.
- 798
- 01:10:03,784 --> 01:10:05,786
- We're active participants,
- 799
- 01:10:05,953 --> 01:10:09,790
- subject to the same heartache
- as the rest of these soldiers.
- 800
- 01:10:17,965 --> 01:10:22,678
- When we lost Donald Jeffries, we
- earned the right to wear the uniform.
- 801
- 01:10:23,971 --> 01:10:26,307
- And now we've lost our second man.
- 802
- 01:10:27,766 --> 01:10:32,354
- From the beginning, I told you that
- no piece of art was worth a man's life.
- 803
- 01:10:33,147 --> 01:10:36,025
- But these last months
- have proved me wrong.
- 804
- 01:10:36,817 --> 01:10:40,988
- This is our history,
- and it's not to be stolen or destroyed.
- 805
- 01:10:41,322 --> 01:10:46,452
- It's to be held up and admired,
- as are these brave men.
- 806
- 01:10:48,329 --> 01:10:50,998
- And now we owe it to them
- to finish the job.
- 807
- 01:10:54,418 --> 01:10:56,462
- Walter, head stateside,
- get some R & R.
- 808
- 01:10:56,629 --> 01:10:58,339
- We'll meet up with you later.
- 809
- 01:10:58,505 --> 01:11:01,759
- If it's all the same to you,
- I'd like to finish this.
- 810
- 01:11:01,926 --> 01:11:03,469
- That'd be fine.
- 811
- 01:11:04,011 --> 01:11:06,388
- All right, let's take a look
- at where we are.
- 812
- 01:11:06,555 --> 01:11:07,598
- Stokes?
- Yeah.
- 813
- 01:11:07,765 --> 01:11:11,685
- I got this off an SS officer.
- He was stationed in Paris. It's a map.
- 814
- 01:11:11,852 --> 01:11:14,521
- He had a farmhouse full of stolen art.
- 815
- 01:11:16,732 --> 01:11:19,526
- I don't understand.
- Siegen, Siegen.
- 816
- 01:11:19,693 --> 01:11:23,489
- We were there.
- There's nothing there. Merkers.
- 817
- 01:11:23,864 --> 01:11:25,324
- Merkers.
- 818
- 01:11:26,033 --> 01:11:27,701
- They're not train routes.
- 819
- 01:11:28,202 --> 01:11:30,704
- Are they airfields?
- No.
- 820
- 01:11:31,372 --> 01:11:33,248
- Bernterode, Salzburg.
- 821
- 01:11:33,415 --> 01:11:35,793
- Sir, that's not Salzburg.
- 822
- 01:11:35,960 --> 01:11:39,421
- Salz means "salt." It's a salt mine.
- 823
- 01:11:41,048 --> 01:11:43,217
- Kalium is "potassium."
- 824
- 01:11:44,551 --> 01:11:47,596
- Each town has a symbol next to it.
- 825
- 01:11:47,763 --> 01:11:51,767
- Bernterode is a potassium mine.
- Merkers, salt mine.
- 826
- 01:11:52,184 --> 01:11:53,769
- Altaussee, salt mine.
- 827
- 01:11:54,561 --> 01:11:56,981
- Siegen...
- Copper.
- 828
- 01:11:59,066 --> 01:12:00,609
- Ah.
- 829
- 01:12:02,236 --> 01:12:04,154
- There's a copper mine in Siegen.
- 830
- 01:13:50,761 --> 01:13:54,014
- Yesterday we found 16,000 pieces
- of stolen art
- 831
- 01:13:54,181 --> 01:13:56,683
- buried in a German copper mine.
- 832
- 01:13:56,850 --> 01:14:00,896
- It seems the Nazis took better care
- of paintings than they did people.
- 833
- 01:14:01,063 --> 01:14:04,358
- There was no sign of the Madonna
- that cost Donnie his life,
- 834
- 01:14:04,525 --> 01:14:08,779
- but maybe we'll have better luck in
- the next mine, in the town of Merkers.
- 835
- 01:14:09,113 --> 01:14:10,948
- Enclosed are your transfer orders.
- 836
- 01:14:11,115 --> 01:14:14,785
- We'll need you here, as we've lost
- both Jeffries and Jean-Claude.
- 837
- 01:14:15,369 --> 01:14:16,411
- Safe travels.
- 838
- 01:14:37,683 --> 01:14:39,643
- May I offer you a coffee?
- 839
- 01:14:39,810 --> 01:14:41,854
- Well, I'm not sure.
- 840
- 01:14:47,776 --> 01:14:49,695
- I almost didn't recognize you.
- 841
- 01:14:50,279 --> 01:14:51,655
- My hair?
- 842
- 01:14:51,822 --> 01:14:54,908
- No, I've just...
- I've never seen you smile.
- 843
- 01:14:55,450 --> 01:14:58,996
- Well, James, it's April in Paris.
- Haven't you heard?
- 844
- 01:14:59,454 --> 01:15:02,875
- They write songs about it.
- Ha, is that so?
- 845
- 01:15:04,793 --> 01:15:06,503
- Are you shopping for your wife?
- 846
- 01:15:06,670 --> 01:15:10,174
- For my wife?
- Every woman loves French perfume.
- 847
- 01:15:10,340 --> 01:15:11,466
- Even French women?
- 848
- 01:15:12,968 --> 01:15:15,012
- Especially French women.
- 849
- 01:15:16,305 --> 01:15:19,141
- Do you write to your wife
- every day?
- 850
- 01:15:19,308 --> 01:15:20,517
- No.
- 851
- 01:15:21,977 --> 01:15:23,437
- But I do write.
- 852
- 01:15:24,104 --> 01:15:25,689
- Are you a good husband?
- 853
- 01:15:27,691 --> 01:15:29,026
- I like to think so.
- 854
- 01:15:29,193 --> 01:15:32,988
- Paris at night
- finds a lot of good husbands
- 855
- 01:15:33,155 --> 01:15:34,615
- out.
- 856
- 01:15:35,949 --> 01:15:37,409
- Well, it's war.
- 857
- 01:15:38,493 --> 01:15:40,245
- It's Paris, hm?
- 858
- 01:15:45,792 --> 01:15:46,835
- Sardines.
- 859
- 01:15:49,838 --> 01:15:51,215
- Crackers.
- 860
- 01:15:52,216 --> 01:15:54,092
- And some kind of potted meat.
- 861
- 01:15:54,259 --> 01:15:57,179
- Are you having a party?
- No.
- 862
- 01:15:57,346 --> 01:15:59,139
- No, stocking up.
- 863
- 01:16:01,016 --> 01:16:02,976
- My orders came through last night.
- 864
- 01:16:04,269 --> 01:16:06,647
- Mm.
- I'm heading east.
- 865
- 01:16:09,358 --> 01:16:10,817
- Germany?
- 866
- 01:16:10,984 --> 01:16:14,947
- Merkers. There's a mine there.
- That's where I'll meet the men.
- 867
- 01:16:15,113 --> 01:16:17,866
- I was just reading
- about your men.
- 868
- 01:16:18,033 --> 01:16:19,076
- They found art.
- 869
- 01:16:19,868 --> 01:16:21,245
- A lot of art.
- 870
- 01:16:21,745 --> 01:16:23,330
- And they returned it.
- 871
- 01:16:23,997 --> 01:16:28,502
- Well, what they could. We still
- don't know who a lot of it belongs to.
- 872
- 01:16:29,753 --> 01:16:31,171
- When do you leave?
- 873
- 01:16:33,257 --> 01:16:35,175
- I leave in the morning.
- 874
- 01:16:37,886 --> 01:16:40,889
- Then we should celebrate tonight.
- 875
- 01:16:43,392 --> 01:16:46,645
- This is my address.
- 876
- 01:16:48,563 --> 01:16:52,150
- You bring the potted meat.
- I'll bring the wine.
- 877
- 01:16:58,073 --> 01:16:59,700
- What's the attire?
- 878
- 01:16:59,866 --> 01:17:02,411
- Formal, of course.
- 879
- 01:17:02,577 --> 01:17:05,998
- Formal, of course.
- That's what I thought.
- 880
- 01:17:33,692 --> 01:17:35,193
- You weren't kidding.
- 881
- 01:17:36,028 --> 01:17:39,197
- Mm. I never kid.
- 882
- 01:17:39,364 --> 01:17:41,325
- This is the best I have.
- 883
- 01:17:43,201 --> 01:17:44,911
- Why don't you pour the wine?
- 884
- 01:17:45,871 --> 01:17:48,332
- I brought some things.
- I brought some cheese,
- 885
- 01:17:48,498 --> 01:17:50,042
- some brie cheese and croissants.
- 886
- 01:17:51,710 --> 01:17:53,086
- Very French.
- 887
- 01:17:54,087 --> 01:17:56,173
- I cooked a hen.
- 888
- 01:17:56,340 --> 01:17:59,051
- A hen?
- Yes.
- 889
- 01:18:00,260 --> 01:18:02,346
- It should be ready soon.
- 890
- 01:18:04,890 --> 01:18:07,434
- Here, put this on.
- 891
- 01:18:10,395 --> 01:18:13,065
- You know, in France,
- 892
- 01:18:13,231 --> 01:18:16,318
- if you are given an invitation
- to a formal party,
- 893
- 01:18:16,485 --> 01:18:18,403
- you dress accordingly.
- 894
- 01:18:20,864 --> 01:18:23,241
- It matches my eyes.
- 895
- 01:18:25,410 --> 01:18:27,371
- Then you may keep it.
- 896
- 01:18:31,083 --> 01:18:33,043
- Rosenberg. Goering. Mm-hm.
- 897
- 01:18:33,210 --> 01:18:34,961
- Lohse. Von Behr.
- 898
- 01:18:35,128 --> 01:18:37,964
- These are the key figures in the ERR.
- 899
- 01:18:38,131 --> 01:18:40,592
- The Staff for Special Purposes.
- 900
- 01:18:40,759 --> 01:18:45,097
- They started with
- the Jewish collectors in 1940.
- 901
- 01:18:45,263 --> 01:18:46,973
- You see Stahl?
- 902
- 01:18:47,140 --> 01:18:48,809
- The SS farmer.
- 903
- 01:18:48,975 --> 01:18:50,435
- Farmer.
- 904
- 01:18:50,602 --> 01:18:52,562
- Here he is with Goering.
- 905
- 01:18:52,729 --> 01:18:55,816
- Inspecting art to be stolen
- and shipped to Germany.
- 906
- 01:18:59,152 --> 01:19:02,280
- Most of the pieces
- they would photograph, then take.
- 907
- 01:19:02,447 --> 01:19:07,411
- And they would send Hitler albums
- filled with the stolen artwork.
- 908
- 01:19:07,577 --> 01:19:10,789
- And the modern masters, you know,
- like Picasso, Klee,
- 909
- 01:19:10,956 --> 01:19:12,332
- Yes.
- Max Ernst,
- 910
- 01:19:12,499 --> 01:19:15,502
- were just burned in the yard.
- 911
- 01:19:15,961 --> 01:19:18,004
- Hundreds of paintings.
- 912
- 01:19:18,797 --> 01:19:21,466
- And you believe these paintings
- are in the mines?
- 913
- 01:19:23,468 --> 01:19:24,636
- No.
- 914
- 01:19:26,138 --> 01:19:27,639
- No, not these.
- 915
- 01:19:40,652 --> 01:19:43,071
- This is all I have, James.
- 916
- 01:19:45,157 --> 01:19:46,867
- This is my life.
- 917
- 01:19:47,659 --> 01:19:49,161
- I understand.
- 918
- 01:19:50,078 --> 01:19:54,332
- This is every piece of art
- that came through the Jeu de Paume.
- 919
- 01:19:54,833 --> 01:20:00,255
- Now, I have kept train manifests,
- receipts, letters for every single piece.
- 920
- 01:20:02,591 --> 01:20:06,219
- Who it belonged to, who took it,
- where they took it.
- 921
- 01:20:06,386 --> 01:20:09,806
- I kept a colored mark here
- for every piece, to match this ledger.
- 922
- 01:20:09,973 --> 01:20:11,391
- Jesus Christ.
- 923
- 01:20:13,685 --> 01:20:15,353
- I'm giving it to you.
- 924
- 01:20:16,188 --> 01:20:18,607
- It's your responsibility now.
- 925
- 01:20:20,525 --> 01:20:22,152
- I understand.
- 926
- 01:20:24,529 --> 01:20:28,325
- There's a castle in the Bavarian Alps,
- Neuschwanstein.
- 927
- 01:20:28,909 --> 01:20:31,036
- You should find most of the art there.
- 928
- 01:20:33,205 --> 01:20:34,789
- Thank you, Claire.
- 929
- 01:20:35,624 --> 01:20:38,877
- And you tell them Claire Simone
- says hello when you get there.
- 930
- 01:20:39,711 --> 01:20:41,755
- I'll do just that.
- 931
- 01:20:49,888 --> 01:20:54,184
- I am out of wine, but, uh, I have cognac.
- 932
- 01:20:57,145 --> 01:20:58,855
- I should go.
- 933
- 01:21:01,650 --> 01:21:03,276
- You could stay.
- 934
- 01:21:07,656 --> 01:21:11,409
- It's Paris, you know?
- 935
- 01:21:40,939 --> 01:21:43,233
- I do love my tie.
- 936
- 01:22:23,523 --> 01:22:25,317
- Say, fellas.
- 937
- 01:22:25,483 --> 01:22:26,818
- Well, hello!
- 938
- 01:22:27,611 --> 01:22:29,654
- - Welcome back.
- - Welcome back, sir.
- 939
- 01:22:29,821 --> 01:22:32,949
- Good to see you.
- How was vacation?
- 940
- 01:22:33,158 --> 01:22:34,659
- Ha. Where's Stokes?
- 941
- 01:22:57,015 --> 01:22:59,017
- She's not here, is she?
- 942
- 01:23:02,187 --> 01:23:03,647
- Who?
- 943
- 01:23:04,856 --> 01:23:06,274
- The Madonna.
- 944
- 01:23:08,526 --> 01:23:10,278
- Not here, not in Siegen.
- 945
- 01:23:10,445 --> 01:23:12,030
- She'll turn up.
- 946
- 01:23:13,073 --> 01:23:14,908
- I'm not so sure.
- 947
- 01:23:17,410 --> 01:23:20,413
- Donald was so proud
- of what we're doing here.
- 948
- 01:23:22,040 --> 01:23:24,417
- He was proud to be a part of it.
- 949
- 01:23:27,045 --> 01:23:30,423
- There will never be
- a thousand-year Reich.
- 950
- 01:23:31,091 --> 01:23:32,717
- No Fatherland.
- 951
- 01:23:34,052 --> 01:23:36,137
- No fuhrer Museum.
- 952
- 01:23:39,307 --> 01:23:42,644
- If Jean-Claude and Donald
- had something to do with that, well,
- 953
- 01:23:43,812 --> 01:23:45,230
- I guess it's okay.
- 954
- 01:23:47,524 --> 01:23:49,609
- I just have some
- unfinished business.
- 955
- 01:23:49,776 --> 01:23:51,277
- We'll find her.
- 956
- 01:23:52,445 --> 01:23:53,613
- Yeah.
- 957
- 01:23:58,618 --> 01:24:00,787
- He really wanted it all.
- 958
- 01:24:01,621 --> 01:24:03,289
- He wanted everything.
- 959
- 01:24:09,963 --> 01:24:13,925
- Private, what does that sign say?
- Uh, "storage."
- 960
- 01:24:14,634 --> 01:24:17,637
- See if there are any lanterns in there.
- Yes, sir.
- 961
- 01:24:37,657 --> 01:24:38,867
- You okay in there?
- 962
- 01:24:42,996 --> 01:24:44,414
- Sam?
- 963
- 01:25:25,371 --> 01:25:27,207
- Buried some 1200 feet
- 964
- 01:25:27,373 --> 01:25:29,709
- below the ground
- in a salt mine in Merkers, Germany,
- 965
- 01:25:29,876 --> 01:25:32,879
- our Gis discovered
- over 100 tons of gold bullion,
- 966
- 01:25:33,046 --> 01:25:35,215
- the entirety of Germany's reserve.
- 967
- 01:25:35,381 --> 01:25:38,468
- A crushing blow to Hitler.
- Grand news indeed,
- 968
- 01:25:38,635 --> 01:25:43,139
- and congratulations to generals
- Patton, Bradley and Eisenhower.
- 969
- 01:25:48,228 --> 01:25:51,105
- The Army may not care much
- about art,
- 970
- 01:25:51,564 --> 01:25:54,317
- but they sure as shit
- care about gold.
- 971
- 01:25:55,485 --> 01:25:58,196
- General Patton, what
- are you gonna do with the gold?
- 972
- 01:26:02,951 --> 01:26:06,287
- Private, give me a hand.
- Yes, sir.
- 973
- 01:26:08,706 --> 01:26:11,459
- I don't think you've been
- properly introduced.
- 974
- 01:26:12,210 --> 01:26:15,255
- Sam, that's your neighbor,
- Mr. Rembrandt.
- 975
- 01:26:18,591 --> 01:26:21,052
- You tell your grandfather
- when you see him.
- 976
- 01:26:22,595 --> 01:26:24,013
- Nice to meet you.
- 977
- 01:26:26,641 --> 01:26:29,477
- Hey, got us a couple of trucks.
- 978
- 01:26:29,644 --> 01:26:31,646
- Do I want to know how?
- 979
- 01:27:31,831 --> 01:27:34,626
- A lot of files. Looks
- like they were burning records.
- 980
- 01:27:35,543 --> 01:27:38,296
- It's a bunch of junk. An old pot.
- 981
- 01:27:38,463 --> 01:27:40,381
- Hey, Stokes?
- Yeah?
- 982
- 01:27:40,548 --> 01:27:43,468
- Can you come in here for a minute?
- Yeah.
- 983
- 01:27:50,975 --> 01:27:53,353
- What have you got?
- Stop, stop.
- 984
- 01:27:54,562 --> 01:27:57,941
- Stop. I seem to have
- stepped on a land mine
- 985
- 01:27:58,107 --> 01:28:00,485
- of some sort.
- 986
- 01:28:01,819 --> 01:28:04,739
- Why'd you do something like that?
- It was a slow day.
- 987
- 01:28:07,158 --> 01:28:09,494
- I wouldn't move.
- I'd like to at some point.
- 988
- 01:28:09,661 --> 01:28:12,330
- Campbell, Garfield, get in here!
- What'll they do?
- 989
- 01:28:12,497 --> 01:28:14,874
- They're architects.
- So they know explosives?
- 990
- 01:28:15,041 --> 01:28:16,709
- - It's that or Savitz.
- - What?
- 991
- 01:28:16,876 --> 01:28:18,711
- Boy, it is burned
- to heck in here.
- 992
- 01:28:18,878 --> 01:28:20,838
- Everybody just stay where they are.
- 993
- 01:28:21,005 --> 01:28:24,717
- Looks like the lieutenant here
- is standing on an unexploded mine.
- 994
- 01:28:25,051 --> 01:28:26,219
- Why would you do that?
- 995
- 01:28:26,386 --> 01:28:28,513
- I asked him the same thing.
- He did.
- 996
- 01:28:31,099 --> 01:28:34,227
- Well, you're going to have to...
- 997
- 01:28:35,895 --> 01:28:38,856
- step off of it eventually.
- Well, eventually, yes.
- 998
- 01:28:39,023 --> 01:28:44,696
- And either the mine is so damaged
- from the fire that it's a dud...
- 999
- 01:28:44,862 --> 01:28:46,030
- How likely is that?
- 1000
- 01:28:47,240 --> 01:28:48,866
- Most likely.
- 1001
- 01:28:50,243 --> 01:28:53,621
- But if it's not, there will probably be
- 1002
- 01:28:54,122 --> 01:28:55,915
- a sizable explosion.
- 1003
- 01:29:09,303 --> 01:29:13,182
- How much do you weigh?
- Uh, one-seventy-five.
- 1004
- 01:29:19,147 --> 01:29:20,857
- Grad school, I was 175.
- 1005
- 01:29:31,409 --> 01:29:32,994
- Now what?
- 1006
- 01:29:34,662 --> 01:29:38,750
- Well, if we did this right,
- you just step off.
- 1007
- 01:29:45,798 --> 01:29:49,761
- Okay, well, what say, uh,
- you fellas head to the exit?
- 1008
- 01:29:50,762 --> 01:29:53,473
- I think we'll just hang around
- and keep you company.
- 1009
- 01:29:53,639 --> 01:29:55,308
- That's not necessary, Frank.
- 1010
- 01:29:56,184 --> 01:29:58,394
- I think it is. Fellas?
- 1011
- 01:29:58,561 --> 01:30:00,313
- I'm not going anywhere.
- 1012
- 01:30:00,480 --> 01:30:02,315
- I'll be fine right here.
- 1013
- 01:30:04,192 --> 01:30:06,527
- Yeah, what the hell.
- 1014
- 01:30:07,820 --> 01:30:10,531
- Okay, James,
- that's how it's gonna be.
- 1015
- 01:30:12,950 --> 01:30:14,202
- Well...
- 1016
- 01:30:15,328 --> 01:30:19,540
- on the off-chance that this thing
- blows us sky high...
- 1017
- 01:30:21,375 --> 01:30:23,377
- been an honor serving with you all.
- 1018
- 01:30:23,544 --> 01:30:25,505
- Same here.
- Agreed.
- 1019
- 01:30:27,215 --> 01:30:31,552
- Okay, so I'll just count to three
- and step off.
- 1020
- 01:30:31,719 --> 01:30:33,971
- Good.
- Take your time.
- 1021
- 01:30:47,360 --> 01:30:48,653
- One...
- 1022
- 01:30:50,321 --> 01:30:53,574
- Goddamn it.
- Shit.
- 1023
- 01:30:57,078 --> 01:30:59,455
- What happened to two and three?
- I panicked.
- 1024
- 01:30:59,622 --> 01:31:01,082
- Told you it was a dud.
- 1025
- 01:31:52,842 --> 01:31:54,135
- Picasso.
- 1026
- 01:32:07,773 --> 01:32:09,275
- Is that gold?
- 1027
- 01:32:18,784 --> 01:32:20,369
- It's from teeth.
- 1028
- 01:33:59,510 --> 01:34:01,053
- That's a Rodin.
- 1029
- 01:35:31,060 --> 01:35:32,603
- Altaussee!
- 1030
- 01:35:33,396 --> 01:35:36,107
- The Ghent Altarpiece
- is in the mine at Altaussee.
- 1031
- 01:35:36,273 --> 01:35:37,316
- What?
- 1032
- 01:35:37,483 --> 01:35:39,402
- - It's right here.
- - What did you find?
- 1033
- 01:35:39,568 --> 01:35:41,654
- - Sam, give us a hand!
- - What is it?
- 1034
- 01:35:46,075 --> 01:35:48,077
- It was stored there a year ago.
- 1035
- 01:35:48,327 --> 01:35:50,830
- How do you know?
- It says nothing after that.
- 1036
- 01:35:51,080 --> 01:35:52,415
- It's still there.
- 1037
- 01:35:55,835 --> 01:35:57,420
- Want to go get it?
- 1038
- 01:35:59,255 --> 01:36:01,757
- You give that Claire a big kiss.
- 1039
- 01:36:02,341 --> 01:36:03,384
- She'd like that.
- 1040
- 01:36:20,943 --> 01:36:24,196
- Hey, sarge, we're trying
- to get to Altaussee.
- 1041
- 01:36:24,363 --> 01:36:25,990
- Keep going that way.
- 1042
- 01:36:26,157 --> 01:36:27,950
- Where you fellas headed?
- Home.
- 1043
- 01:36:28,117 --> 01:36:29,785
- Germany surrendered.
- War's over.
- 1044
- 01:36:29,952 --> 01:36:31,495
- No kidding?
- Yeah.
- 1045
- 01:36:31,662 --> 01:36:34,206
- Ain't there supposed to be
- a parade or something?
- 1046
- 01:36:34,373 --> 01:36:36,208
- Probably not in Germany.
- 1047
- 01:36:36,375 --> 01:36:37,960
- Yeah, right.
- 1048
- 01:36:49,305 --> 01:36:52,099
- Jesus Christ,
- they blew the mine.
- 1049
- 01:36:52,558 --> 01:36:55,060
- Any other openings?
- Two others, blown to shit.
- 1050
- 01:36:55,227 --> 01:36:57,938
- They stored armaments here,
- then blew everything up.
- 1051
- 01:36:58,105 --> 01:37:00,274
- Who gave the order? War's over.
- Ask him.
- 1052
- 01:37:00,441 --> 01:37:02,443
- Caught a Kraut, Wegner,
- hiding in town.
- 1053
- 01:37:02,610 --> 01:37:05,613
- Sam, Savitz, find some locals,
- get a diagram of the mine.
- 1054
- 01:37:05,779 --> 01:37:08,240
- Walter and I can look at the entrances.
- Okay.
- 1055
- 01:37:08,407 --> 01:37:09,450
- Come on.
- Captain,
- 1056
- 01:37:09,617 --> 01:37:11,869
- can I talk to that Kraut?
- Sure can.
- 1057
- 01:37:19,460 --> 01:37:21,795
- Bum your smokes?
- Yeah.
- 1058
- 01:37:22,421 --> 01:37:23,797
- Thanks.
- 1059
- 01:37:32,973 --> 01:37:36,143
- I'm told you speak English.
- I do.
- 1060
- 01:37:36,644 --> 01:37:39,146
- Would you like a cigarette?
- Don't smoke.
- 1061
- 01:37:40,814 --> 01:37:42,858
- I'd like to ask you
- a few questions.
- 1062
- 01:37:43,025 --> 01:37:44,944
- So I assumed.
- 1063
- 01:37:45,653 --> 01:37:47,696
- Why'd you blow the mine?
- 1064
- 01:37:49,657 --> 01:37:51,325
- What was in the mine?
- 1065
- 01:37:52,493 --> 01:37:54,828
- Salt, I think.
- 1066
- 01:37:55,788 --> 01:37:58,791
- You know the war is over.
- Congratulations.
- 1067
- 01:38:01,335 --> 01:38:04,004
- We believe there are pieces of art
- in that mine
- 1068
- 01:38:04,171 --> 01:38:06,590
- that we've been tasked to find.
- 1069
- 01:38:07,299 --> 01:38:08,592
- Did you take them out?
- 1070
- 01:38:09,176 --> 01:38:11,804
- What will you offer me
- for my answer?
- 1071
- 01:38:12,805 --> 01:38:14,306
- As you say, the war is over.
- 1072
- 01:38:15,474 --> 01:38:17,518
- I followed orders.
- I committed no crime.
- 1073
- 01:38:17,685 --> 01:38:22,815
- According to the Geneva Conventions,
- I will be released and sent home.
- 1074
- 01:38:25,109 --> 01:38:30,364
- I was told that before you were sent
- here, you ran one of those camps.
- 1075
- 01:38:31,699 --> 01:38:34,577
- Who told you that?
- A little bird.
- 1076
- 01:38:36,453 --> 01:38:39,748
- You're not Jewish, lieutenant?
- No.
- 1077
- 01:38:40,374 --> 01:38:42,418
- Then you should thank me.
- 1078
- 01:38:50,718 --> 01:38:52,970
- You know, I don't smoke either.
- 1079
- 01:38:55,055 --> 01:38:56,724
- My first cigarette.
- 1080
- 01:38:57,850 --> 01:39:00,644
- But, mm...
- 1081
- 01:39:01,895 --> 01:39:04,148
- I want to remember this moment.
- 1082
- 01:39:07,234 --> 01:39:09,528
- I'm gonna go home soon.
- 1083
- 01:39:10,070 --> 01:39:13,407
- Got a nice apartment in New York
- on the Upper West Side.
- 1084
- 01:39:13,574 --> 01:39:16,493
- There's a deli down the street
- called Sid's.
- 1085
- 01:39:17,578 --> 01:39:19,246
- Every morning,
- 1086
- 01:39:19,913 --> 01:39:24,043
- I walk there and I get
- a cup of coffee and a bagel,
- 1087
- 01:39:24,209 --> 01:39:26,170
- and I read the newspaper.
- 1088
- 01:39:27,171 --> 01:39:31,675
- I think about it every day here. It'll be
- the first place I go when I get stateside.
- 1089
- 01:39:31,842 --> 01:39:36,764
- I'm gonna be sitting there, eating one
- of Sid Meldman's toasted onion bagels
- 1090
- 01:39:36,930 --> 01:39:41,435
- and reading a tiny article
- in The New York Times, page...
- 1091
- 01:39:42,603 --> 01:39:44,188
- 18...
- 1092
- 01:39:45,189 --> 01:39:47,691
- that says you, Colonel Wegner,
- were hanged
- 1093
- 01:39:47,858 --> 01:39:50,444
- for your crimes you committed
- during the war
- 1094
- 01:39:50,611 --> 01:39:53,364
- and you were buried
- in an unmarked grave.
- 1095
- 01:39:55,616 --> 01:39:57,910
- And then I'll think about
- my cigarette...
- 1096
- 01:39:59,787 --> 01:40:04,249
- and I'll think about you sitting there
- with that stupid look on your face.
- 1097
- 01:40:09,046 --> 01:40:12,216
- Then I'll finish my coffee,
- 1098
- 01:40:12,383 --> 01:40:15,386
- leave the paper for Sid
- to wrap fish in.
- 1099
- 01:40:16,637 --> 01:40:18,681
- I'll never think of you again.
- 1100
- 01:40:25,813 --> 01:40:28,065
- Sure you don't want that cigarette?
- 1101
- 01:40:42,746 --> 01:40:45,791
- The Germans didn't blow it!
- The local miners did!
- 1102
- 01:40:45,958 --> 01:40:49,670
- They found out the Nazis' plan, sealed
- the mine entrances to stop them.
- 1103
- 01:40:49,837 --> 01:40:51,880
- We'll dig in.
- How long will that take?
- 1104
- 01:40:52,047 --> 01:40:54,550
- A day or two
- if these miners help us.
- 1105
- 01:40:54,717 --> 01:40:57,469
- Might wanna move quicker.
- We got orders to pull out tonight.
- 1106
- 01:40:57,636 --> 01:41:00,472
- What orders?
- Top brass.
- 1107
- 01:41:00,639 --> 01:41:03,892
- This territory goes to the Russians.
- They're moving south now.
- 1108
- 01:41:04,059 --> 01:41:06,478
- - Should be here tomorrow.
- - Tomorrow?
- 1109
- 01:41:06,645 --> 01:41:08,313
- Maybe sooner.
- 1110
- 01:41:09,982 --> 01:41:11,984
- Do you have any explosives?
- 1111
- 01:41:19,199 --> 01:41:21,827
- Here we go! Everybody down!
- 1112
- 01:41:27,875 --> 01:41:29,668
- Maybe I should do this.
- 1113
- 01:41:29,835 --> 01:41:31,795
- What do you know
- about explosives?
- 1114
- 01:41:31,962 --> 01:41:33,338
- Nothing.
- 1115
- 01:41:33,797 --> 01:41:35,132
- Okay.
- 1116
- 01:42:44,284 --> 01:42:47,412
- We're short one.
- We're missing one.
- 1117
- 01:42:47,579 --> 01:42:51,500
- You've gotta be kidding me.
- We're missing a goddamn panel.
- 1118
- 01:43:06,598 --> 01:43:10,227
- We have to go, fellas,
- unless you speak Russian!
- 1119
- 01:43:11,144 --> 01:43:12,624
- We've covered all this area.
- 1120
- 01:43:12,771 --> 01:43:13,856
- We didn't look here.
- 1121
- 01:43:14,022 --> 01:43:15,607
- We did.
- We didn't look here.
- 1122
- 01:43:15,774 --> 01:43:18,026
- This is us right now.
- This is where we have to go.
- 1123
- 01:43:18,193 --> 01:43:19,570
- This is this.
- 1124
- 01:43:19,736 --> 01:43:23,073
- No, this is where we are now. And
- this is where we didn't look.
- 1125
- 01:43:23,240 --> 01:43:26,076
- We were here, we went over here.
- Where didn't we go?
- 1126
- 01:43:26,243 --> 01:43:28,912
- We didn't go here
- and we didn't go there.
- 1127
- 01:43:29,079 --> 01:43:31,164
- Yeah, we
- gotta... This, this.
- 1128
- 01:43:31,331 --> 01:43:33,166
- - Give me a hand, will you?
- - What?
- 1129
- 01:43:36,670 --> 01:43:40,382
- You are going to miss me
- so much when this is over.
- 1130
- 01:43:40,549 --> 01:43:41,842
- I doubt it.
- 1131
- 01:43:48,807 --> 01:43:50,475
- Okay.
- 1132
- 01:43:57,649 --> 01:44:00,068
- Right now you wish
- that German had shot you.
- 1133
- 01:44:01,695 --> 01:44:03,030
- I do.
- 1134
- 01:44:11,997 --> 01:44:15,292
- - Get out of here now, I'm not kidding.
- - I'm going after Stokes.
- 1135
- 01:44:15,459 --> 01:44:17,377
- Be right behind you, captain!
- 1136
- 01:44:21,882 --> 01:44:23,592
- Stokes!
- 1137
- 01:44:28,221 --> 01:44:29,681
- Frank, we gotta go!
- 1138
- 01:44:45,238 --> 01:44:46,573
- Stokes!
- 1139
- 01:44:49,576 --> 01:44:50,911
- Stokes!
- 1140
- 01:45:44,131 --> 01:45:45,882
- Let's get out of here.
- 1141
- 01:45:50,887 --> 01:45:52,431
- Hey.
- 1142
- 01:45:54,683 --> 01:45:56,977
- Hey, hey, we gotta go.
- Give me a hand.
- 1143
- 01:45:57,144 --> 01:46:00,147
- No, no, Frank, we gotta go.
- Give me a hand.
- 1144
- 01:46:02,274 --> 01:46:04,901
- Holy shit.
- Come on, give me a hand.
- 1145
- 01:46:05,152 --> 01:46:07,195
- - Holy shit.
- - Stokes!
- 1146
- 01:46:07,362 --> 01:46:08,947
- Granger!
- 1147
- 01:46:09,865 --> 01:46:10,907
- Jesus.
- 1148
- 01:46:11,074 --> 01:46:13,535
- - We gotta get out of here.
- - Give us a hand.
- 1149
- 01:46:14,911 --> 01:46:17,080
- Holy shit!
- He just said that.
- 1150
- 01:46:17,330 --> 01:46:18,832
- I did.
- 1151
- 01:46:27,174 --> 01:46:30,510
- You can add this to the
- long list of Hitler's failures.
- 1152
- 01:46:30,677 --> 01:46:33,722
- He tried to take something
- that could never be his.
- 1153
- 01:46:33,889 --> 01:46:38,810
- The story of our lives painted
- on canvas or etched in stone.
- 1154
- 01:46:39,519 --> 01:46:41,605
- With the Russians
- bearing down on us,
- 1155
- 01:46:41,772 --> 01:46:44,149
- we left Altaussee
- with some 3000 pieces,
- 1156
- 01:46:44,316 --> 01:46:50,113
- including the Ghent Altarpiece
- and the Bruges Madonna and Child.
- 1157
- 01:46:50,864 --> 01:46:53,408
- We did leave something
- for our Russian friends
- 1158
- 01:46:53,575 --> 01:46:55,327
- to take back to Leningrad.
- 1159
- 01:47:07,380 --> 01:47:11,635
- We headed northwest. Savitz and Campbell
- flew the Altarpiece to Belgium.
- 1160
- 01:47:11,968 --> 01:47:18,100
- It was displayed in Brussels and then
- returned to the chapel in St. Bavo.
- 1161
- 01:47:27,192 --> 01:47:30,070
- With Second Lieutenant
- James Granger,
- 1162
- 01:47:30,237 --> 01:47:33,448
- several trainloads of French art
- found in a castle
- 1163
- 01:47:33,615 --> 01:47:36,159
- in Bavaria were returned to Paris.
- 1164
- 01:47:45,252 --> 01:47:46,962
- Thank you, James.
- 1165
- 01:47:55,053 --> 01:47:57,305
- Everything from
- paintings to sculptures,
- 1166
- 01:47:58,098 --> 01:48:00,851
- tapestries, even jewelry,
- is being returned.
- 1167
- 01:48:01,017 --> 01:48:06,690
- It is the greatest collection of private
- art in the history of the world.
- 1168
- 01:48:07,107 --> 01:48:09,901
- We also found 5000 church bells,
- 1169
- 01:48:10,068 --> 01:48:13,321
- 300 trolley cars, 3 million books,
- 1170
- 01:48:13,488 --> 01:48:15,615
- and thousands of Torahs.
- 1171
- 01:48:17,951 --> 01:48:19,911
- In all,
- the numbers are staggering.
- 1172
- 01:48:20,078 --> 01:48:23,373
- There were over
- 5 million pieces recovered.
- 1173
- 01:48:36,094 --> 01:48:40,265
- There are still, of course, many
- great works that have gone missing.
- 1174
- 01:48:40,432 --> 01:48:42,934
- Raphael's Portrait of a Young Man,
- for instance.
- 1175
- 01:48:43,101 --> 01:48:46,229
- And with your permission,
- I'd like to keep looking for him.
- 1176
- 01:48:47,314 --> 01:48:50,817
- Well, lieutenant, let me have
- a talk with Secretary Stimson here
- 1177
- 01:48:50,984 --> 01:48:53,820
- and I'll give you an answer.
- Thank you, sir.
- 1178
- 01:48:54,321 --> 01:48:56,948
- And you lost men on
- this mission, lieutenant?
- 1179
- 01:48:57,115 --> 01:49:00,994
- Yes, sir, two men. A Frenchman
- named Jean-Claude Clermont
- 1180
- 01:49:11,129 --> 01:49:13,006
- And a Brit named Donald Jeffries,
- 1181
- 01:49:13,173 --> 01:49:16,259
- who lost his life saving
- the Bruges Madonna and Child.
- 1182
- 01:49:16,426 --> 01:49:19,221
- Lieutenant Stokes,
- I have one question.
- 1183
- 01:49:19,387 --> 01:49:22,140
- You said the Madonna.
- Yes, sir, the Bruges Madonna.
- 1184
- 01:49:22,307 --> 01:49:25,185
- Michelangelo made it, right?
- Yes, sir.
- 1185
- 01:49:25,352 --> 01:49:28,939
- And you lost a man trying to save it.
- Donald Jeffries.
- 1186
- 01:49:29,105 --> 01:49:32,192
- You think it was worth it,
- for a piece of art?
- 1187
- 01:49:33,276 --> 01:49:37,239
- Do you think Jeffries would say
- it was worth it, if he could speak?
- 1188
- 01:49:38,365 --> 01:49:40,158
- If he could speak...
- 1189
- 01:49:43,787 --> 01:49:45,413
- I think he would.
- 1190
- 01:49:46,539 --> 01:49:48,917
- All right then, how
- about you, lieutenant?
- 1191
- 01:49:49,084 --> 01:49:52,462
- You were in charge, and this gets
- to the heart of the matter.
- 1192
- 01:49:52,629 --> 01:49:54,965
- Do you think 30 years from now,
- 1193
- 01:49:55,131 --> 01:50:00,720
- anyone's going to remember
- that these men died for a piece of art?
- 1194
- 01:50:13,400 --> 01:50:14,818
- Yeah.
- 1195
- 01:50:25,412 --> 01:50:27,831
- You ready?
- Yeah.
- 1196
- 01:50:28,081 --> 01:50:31,001
- Let's get out of here.
- Okay.
