We've lost two engines.
Sir, engine three's done for.

Come in, Will, do you copy?
Will!
(METAL CLANGS)

Engines are burning!

Shit, shit, shit!
God damn it to fucking shit!
Where the hell are we?
Nowhere good.
Briefing said the Krauts don't have men this far into France.
We might be good. (LIGHTER CLANGS)
Well, they sure as shit had flak.
Where's Will?
Will!
Will.
Come on, pal.
Let's go.
Captain needs you.
We didn't hit our target. We caught flak...
I know, I was a little distracted, but what I'm saying is...
Where's Pete?
He's dead.
(EXHALES)
So is Bosch and Littleton.
Oh, God.
Uh, sir, where the fuck are we?
Well, we took flak near the Rhine.
Started our descent...
south by southwest.
So, this is probably...
Bow-vee-ay.
Bouvier.
Forty miles from fucking Germany.
Uh, sir,
the front line's pretty close, isn't it?
So, if we cut west, we'll probably hit friendlies.
Wouldn't that be some shit?
Will...
You speak French?
Yes. Can you shoot?
Yeah.
Kelly, go grab a rifle and a flare pistol.
Hey,
I want you to get in that house.
If anybody's in there, they speak French,
they're on our side.
I want you to get in the attic.
If you see any Germans coming,
you shoot a flare real low so they don't see it, okay?
You understand?
So, what do we do?
All right. I want you to start tearing this plane apart.
Anything you can carry, all right? We're jogging outta here.
Get in the fucking attic.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(SIGHS)
Let's go! Everything you can get off the son of a bitch. Let's go.
You find us a route?
I mean, hell,
didn't Patton just take Saint-Dizier a few days ago?
That's only 120 miles back that way.
Our line's gotta be close.
We'll make it work.
Yeah. Let's go.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(FLARE BOOMS)
Hey, we got a flare.
(PANTS)
Krauts!
Guys, they got some kind of tank.
Waist guns.
Yeah, make it look like we're abandoned.
That's our only shot, okay?
Um, get on the guns. Stay low.

Go! Go!

BACH: Hello in there.
My name is Colonel Martin Bach
of the German Protection Squad.
Better known to you probably as the SS.
You will be offering your surrender to me.
How many of you are in there?
Your electrical systems have failed.
None of your guns can operate,
only your right-hand side machine gun
can reach us at this angle.
And now, it has no ammunition.
So...
On the count of three,
you will tell me how many men are in there,
or my tank will be forced to shoot your plane into a thousand pieces.
How many of you are in there?
One,
two,
three. SOLDIER: Five!
What happened to the rest?
They're dead.
Tail gunner, ball turret, bombardier, they're all dead.
Waist gunners died in the crash, too.
How did the waist gunners die?
SOLDIER: No seatbelts.
(SCOFFS)
Stupid.
May I assume that you all know that there's no chance of escape?
SOLDIER: Yeah, we know.
Good.
Come out slowly, one at a time,
and stand in front of the wing.
What was your target?
You are now prisoners of the Third Reich.
Do you know how much use Germany has for prisoners?
None at all.
To us,
you are like insects
to be squashed.
So,
I will ask you again.
What was your target?
This is a bomber aircraft, yes?
Yeah.
And you and the 200 other bombers
that flew over a few minutes ago
were on your way to bomb a target in Germany, yes?
That's right.
Then what target were you bombing?
Hey, Jerry, here's your target, you piece of shit.
(GASPS)
What was your target?
I'm the pilot.
It was a marshalling yard in Munich.
Thank you.
Is General Patton's army
proceeding to Grand Marseille
or going to Nantes?
I don't know.

SOLDIER: It's okay.
Stop!
Is General Patton going to Grand Marseille or Nantes?
We don't know.
We're just flight crew. We don't know troop positions.
(TANK WHIRS AND CLICKS)
Tell me, you must know.
Save your men and tell me.
I don't... I don't know.
I, uh...
Maybe Munich.
He said... Maybe Munich. He said Munich.
Munich?
What is your next target?
I swear.
I swear, I don't... I...
Okay. Stuttgart.
You're lying!
Tell me!
I'm not. I'm not. Stuttgart.
Okay, just listen to me. It has to be Stuttgart.
Okay? If Patton is sending his men this way,
then it has to be Stuttgart.
The yard supply the German Army.
The whole bomb group will keep
targeting the yards until, until Patton makes his move.
You... Just, please, listen to me. Hey.
Stop.
This is only conjecture.
No!
(WHIMPERS)
Is Patton's army going to Grand Marseille or Nantes?
You go to hell.

I can put a new alternator in your car for... For free.

Interior Ministry for the Third Reich.
I was an administrator for education policy.
I have been living here peacefully
since the last nine years.
Uh, tell me what you want. Anything you want.
How many Nazis came out here?
To Argentina?
WILL: Anywhere in South America.
A thousand?
A thousand in Uruguay,
a thousand in Bolivia,
three thousand in Argentina,
four thousand in Brazil.
Yeah, that's what the last fella told me.
That 10,000 Nazis just up and walked outta Germany.
I'm looking for a man, a colonel in the SS,
Martin Bach.
(LAUGHING)
You travel all the way to Argentina
to kidnap two policy administrators
and ask if they know a colonel?
Yeah, that's pretty much the gist of it.
You know him?
EMILIO: There must be a thousand men called Colonel Bach in the Reich.
You can't possibly expect us to know which one you're talking about!
(SCREAMS)
Colonel Martin Bach in the SS,
stationed in Eastern France in August 1944.
Maybe near Strasbourg.
I don't know of any such man. I'm very sorry.
How about you?
(BABBLES)
Do you know Colonel Bach? (EMILIO MUTTERS)
What? I can't hear you.
(SPEAKING GERMAN)
I can't hear you, Emilio.
(IN ENGLISH) No, I don't.
I can't hear you.
I don't. I don't. I don't.
Where is Colonel Bach? I don't know!
(GRUNTS)
You're mad.
There is no way of knowing where there is a Colonel Bach.
I'm telling you, there's no way to know.
He may already be dead.
He's not dead.
Obersturmbannfuhrer Martin Bach got on a cargo ship
in Italy nine years ago,
headed for Buenos Aires.
I know because the Nazi-sympathizing priest
who smuggled him on board told me
right before I strangled him.
(LAUGHS)

Switzerland.
Ah, Swiss.
Where in Switzerland are you from?
Uh, St. Lucian.
I've never heard of it.
It's very small.
Ah. What's it near?
It's near Zurich.
I've never been.
Ah, the gentleman at the end of the bar, he has been to Zurich.
Javier! No, sorry.
I don't mean to be rude, but I wish to be left alone.
Thought you might make a friend.
(SPEAKING SPANISH)
(IN ENGLISH) This gentleman is from Zurich and I told him you have been.
Zurich. You are from Zurich?
I lived there for three years studying at university.
Oh, it is my favorite city in the whole wide world.
Oh, my God.
I could live there. The girls?
(GRUNTS AND LAUGHS)
They're quite nice. Yes, quite nice. Quite nice.
So, what are you doing in Argentina?
Business.
Ah. What kind of business?
Bananas.
My father owns a plantation in Brazil.
In Switzerland?
In Brazil. We live there.
I thought you meant Switzerland.
Hello, everyone.
Come buy my bananas from the snow in Switzerland, right?
Special snow bananas, grown in Zurich.
A toast
to Switzerland and to bananas grown in Brazil.
It was nice to meet you.
So, tell me about Brazil.
Is a true what they say about the bananas in Brazil?
About the girls?
Girls?
What they do with all those bananas.

I have the gun. I will ask the fucking questions.
Do you live here? Yes or no?
Yes.
The man you punched at the bar said you're from Switzerland.
You're clearly American.
Yeah.
I'm an American.
Who is the man you followed from the bar?
He's my father.
You chased your father out of a bar?
How'd you find me here?
I followed your car.
I saw you get out with that man.
I know he's here, and I don't believe he's your father.
Who do you think he is?
I know he is Albert Vogel.
Who is Albert Vogel? (SIGHS)
If you are protecting Albert Vogel,
I will have you extradited along with him.
It will not go well for you.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Extradited? Who the hell are you?
Extradited to where?
To Jerusalem, to pay for his crimes.
You're from Israel.
Who I am does not matter.
If you have Albert Vogel, give him up now.
Listen to me.
The man you saw me with is my father.
We sell bananas.
You know why I'm pretending I'm Swiss?
I know there are a lot of Germans around here.
So, I picked a country they don't care about.
(SPEAKING OTHER LANGUAGE)
Don't shoot.
He's deaf.
What?
My father, he's... He's deaf.
Bullshit.
(SPEAKING OTHER LANGUAGE)
He can't hear a damn thing you're saying.
Listen to me.
Now, you broke into a home
and you are pointing a gun at American citizens.
We make one call to the US Embassy,
the Nazi-collaborating police are going to arrest you,
and they're gonna find out they have
an Israeli spy trying to extradite their pals.
How do you think that's gonna go for you?
Why do you carry a gun?
We get robbed a lot.
If I find out he is Albert Vogel, you will both hang.
(VOGEL SIGHS)
Why the hell did you come up here?
If she had heard your accent... I had to get her to leave.
It was the only way.
(SIGHS)
I was hoping you would improvise,
and you did.
How do you know Colonel Bach?
I met him here, Buenos Aires,
maybe a year ago. (CHUCKLES)
At a Christmas party.
Wait, he's here?
No, no, no. He lives in Bolivia.
Tell me where or I start shooting.
And then, you will just waltz across miles of mountains
and deserts and knock on his door
and shoot him without any confrontation?
The Germans have thousands of guards
protecting their interests here.
If you are bumbling around the desert,
they will find you long before you'll find him.
If you want Colonel Bach,
you're going to need me to help you find him.
In exchange for what?
As it happens,
we have mutual interests.
I also have to get to Bolivia.
We travel there together.
When there are threats to me, we play your little game.
I will pose as your deaf Swiss father
and business partner, selling bananas.
What threats?
Machine gun-toting women from Jerusalem or the equivalent.
Why me?
Why not these other Germans if there's so many of them?
Well, the Germans want me dead, too. It's, uh...
It's complicated.
But the Soviets don't.
That envelope,
that contained the location of a contact
that was going to get me to safety in Moscow.
He is at a remote airfield in Bolivia.
And as it happens, that airfield is not
very far from your Colonel Martin Bach.
If you want your German,
get me to my Russian.
How are we getting there?
The next boat leaves in five hours.
We made it to the mouth of the river here headed north.
Germans are watching the airfields and major ports,
but we can putter up to Paraguay undetected.
The capital of Asuncion is a risk, but if we make it,
we can take the back roads all the way to Bolivia.
I'd rather fly, but it's probably safer
to hire a native to guide us to the rendezvous.
I doubt our friend from Israel will find us there.
(CHUCKLES)
So,
you are Albert Vogel.
In the flesh.
(LAUGHS)
What's that woman want with you?
What did you do?
Nothing.
I am an atomic physicist.
One of the better ones in the world.
I was part of a team developing the atom bomb for Germany.
The Soviets are recruiting me to work for them.
And she's trying to stop you?
She works for a spy agency called Mossad.
Jerusalem is trying to extradite me to hang for war crimes,
but bigger problem is that the Germans here,
they have no use for me.
They would rather kill me
to keep me from helping the Russians
or the Americans.
That's tragic.
The Nazis are trying to kill me.
That ought to make me your friend.
You made bombs for Hitler.
You sit at a table with Nazis, that makes you a Nazi.
The man who makes the object
is not responsible for the man who uses it.
If I make a, um, butter knife
and you stick it in someone's throat,
does that make me a murderer?
Butter knife?
Hitler would've used your atom bomb on civilians.
Which your country did twice, I believe, yes?
That's different.
We're not Hitler. We're the good guys.
200,000 dead Japanese civilians
might think differently.
I swear to Christ. I will put a bullet
right through your stupid fucking Nazi face.
Give me one more goddamn platitude,
I'll end it right here
and we solve this whole thing right now.
Control yourself.
They have eyes everywhere.
I guess I need you alive for now.
You take me to my Russian safely,
and I tell you exactly where your Colonel Bach is hiding.
Yeah.
You go on your merry way to Russia to build the bombs
they wanna drop in my backyard?
Mmm.
They say the man who seeks revenge should dig two graves.

My father is upstairs in his room.
That man is not your father.
You look nothing alike.
You're following me because we don't look alike?
I know that he's Albert Vogel.
You've never seen a photograph of him before, have you?
You have a description. Nothing else.

You can tell that to the court in Jerusalem.
Oh, he's not going to Jerusalem.
According to who? According to me.
We have a deal, all right?
Vogel's just a pawn who worked for the Nazis.
I have some business to finish with an actual Nazi,
an SS Colonel responsible for a lot of people's deaths.
Vogel's helping me find him.
An actual Nazi?
Hitler's atomic scientist isn't enough of a Nazi for you?
We have a deal. You have no deal.
You will hang.

We passed a warehouse back up the road.
Let's find a car and get clear.
You need to decide right now if you're gonna be a problem.
Or you'll kill me for the Nazi?
So I can kill more Nazis, better Nazis.
Nazis of consequence,
not some lab assistant the Germans don't even want.
Lab assistant? Is that what he told you?
I won't touch Vogel yet,
but I want to know who your other Nazis are.
All right.
First, let's find a car.
(OPERA MUSIC)

We've been out here all night.

(SIGHS)
All it needs is the key.
Start it up then.
(HOOD CLANGS)
What is that?
Whiskey.
It's been a long night.
What the hell are you...
I'm taking Albert Vogel. If you try to stop me, I will shoot you.
(SPEAKING GERMAN)
There are more important Nazis than Vogel.
(IN ENGLISH) Name one Nazi of more consequence in South America
than Albert Vogel or get out of my way.
Heinrich Himmler.
The architect of the destruction of millions of Jews across Europe.
Heinrich Himmler is dead.
You're wrong. You're full of shit.
He killed himself. He's been dead for 10 years.
You don't rise to the right hand of Hitler
and engineer the extermination of millions of Jews
without making some connections.
A man claiming to be Himmler surrendered to the British,
bit into a capsule of potassium cyanide, and died.
But that man wasn't Himmler.
He was a fanatical party loyalist
who gave his life for the cause.
The real Himmler went into hiding,
a month in Austria, six months in Florence.
From there, he disguised himself as a priest
and smuggled himself onto a cargo ship bound for Argentina.
He's been in South America for 10 years now,
building a hidden empire in total secrecy,
employing former Nazi party members,
recruiting German veterans into an elite army,
operating a web of spies and guards across the continent
and eliminating every threat that comes across his doorstep.
Those men at the bar were looking for threats to Himmler.
They were looking for you.
Why are you telling me this?
I can't build Himmler a bomb by myself.
He wants me dead so the Russians can't use me.
Tell me where he is.
(CHUCKLES) If I tell you that, you have no reason to keep me around,
but as it happens, the two men you are looking for
are together in Bolivia,
in a compound called the Condor's Nest.
Why?
Bach is Himmler's Chief of Security.
Our deal is still on.
You get me to my Russian safely,
and I'll give you Colonel Bach,
and then, you,
you will have Heinrich Himmler.
No.
VOGEL: It's Heinrich Himmler!
I am no one!
LEYNA: If Heinrich Himmler is here,
I can't capture him by myself,
but I can capture you right now, and I will.
(SPEAKING GERMAN)
This.
This is a transmitter.
It's a simple switch,
wired to a battery,
and if I push this switch,
this car will explode.
What? You
and Himmler's big secret will die in this room.
You can't just turn a car into a bomb.
Get that rope and tie her up,
or I'll kill us all!
Give me the transmitter.
Then, I tie her up.
(WHISPERING) Carefully.
Fucking pigs!
You're gonna fucking pay for this!
VOGEL: Let's go!
(LEYNA SPITS)
You think you're the only one in the world who's lost something to the Nazis?
You're a fucking coward.
What? So we're walking?
Walking?
Lucky for you,
I know how to fly.

Follow my lead.
If they recognize my face, shoot them.
Wait,
tell me where Colonel Bach is.
If anything happens, you owe me that.
He'll be at the Condor's Nest, guarding Heinrich Himmler.
It's in the forest 20 kilometers west of a small town called Tarija.
Kilometer marker 167.

(IN ENGLISH) I would like to buy a box of whiskey.
I have, uh...
I have scotch. I have rye.
Ridiculous code words. I did not make it up.
Albert Vogel?
Yes.
You are not to be here till next week.
I hope it is not a terrible inconvenience.
No.
Here. Put in mouth.
What is this?
It's cyanide.
(CHUCKLES)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
I don't understand.
I have my reasons.
But aren't you with the Soviets?
It is also complicated.
Put in mouth and bite down.
If you are with the Germans, why haven't you just shot me?
Because it make big mess. I don't...
You are going to kill yourself.
You must bite down.
If you are with the Germans, I want to make a deal.
I can build a bomb, an atom bomb for Heinrich Himmler.
There's only one man on this continent who is willing
and able to build a bomb for Himmler,
(CHUCKLES) and if you shoot that man,
you're going to wish you had never left Moscow.
What is deal?
Get Himmler on the phone.
And if he turns me down,
I will take your cyanide.

Da.
Give me Condor's Nest.

You know, you were right.
That day on the boat, when you said, uh,
I sit at the table with Nazis.
I do.
Proudly.
Heil Himmler.
Hello, Jew boy.
VOGEL: He's not Jewish.
Not Jewish? No.
He's American.
Ah.
Now, that's funny.
(BOTH CHUCKLE)
Are you sure you are not a Jew?
Mmm?
(SCOFFS AND COUGHS)
You smell like a Jew.
Now, I am not a detective,
but I would guess you were going to use
this gun to shoot Germans?
Maybe me?
(CLICKING TONGUE)
Now, I am not a detective, but let's see
how many questions I can get you to answer.
Huh?
Every time I don't like your answer,
I pull the trigger.
Mmm? Huh? (WILL BREATHES LABORIOUSLY)
What's your name?
William Spalding.
Who are you trying to kill?
Germans.
Germans? Yeah.
See, I am a German.
So, I do not like that answer.
Which Germans? Hmm?
Himmler?
No.
Klaus Barbie? No.
Col... Colonel Martin Bach.
Bach?
Why?
He deserves to die.
Mmm. (GUN CLICKS)
God damn it. (LAUGHS)
(PANTS)
I didn't like that answer.
Are you with the CIA?
No.
No one but me is coming after Martin Bach.
I don't care about Himmler or you or anyone else.
Just Martin Bach.
(GRUNTS)
Why Martin Bach?
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
Fuck you!
(GUNFIRE PATTERS)
There is a Jewish Mossad agent
and an American trying to get to the Condor's Nest.
Stop them! (BELL RINGS)
Is that a Jew?
You better hope not.
I think your luck has run out.
Don't move.
I will shoot him.
You'd be doing me a favor.
Where is Albert Vogel?
(CAR ENGINE REVS)
I don't recognize that engine,
so I can assume that you arrived here in a car
and Vogel just escaped with it.
Huh?
Look at you. Huh?
You thought you could kill Heinrich Himmler,
but now you're going to die
like every other ordinary Jew!
Just like the ones
we threw into the gutters in Freiburg.
You're from Freiburg, yes?
We must have taken thousands of Jews from that town,
lined them up and shot them in the head, one by one.
And then rolled them into the ditch with the rest of the rats.
He's at the Condor's Nest.
Albert Vogel is at the Condor's Nest.
Shut up or I will shoot you.
It's in the mountains,
20 miles west of a town called Tarija.
I will shoot you!

Himmler's there, too!
You know what to do.

you kill Himmler.
Go.

How did you know where I was?
I didn't. I followed Ziegler.
All the way here?
How?
I drove the car.
I guess I owe you a thanks.
A thanks?
Who the fuck are you?
This whole time, you've been protecting Vogel
better than all the Germans
in this desert possibly could have.
Why do you want this Bach so badly?
For the same reason you want Vogel.
Kilometer 167?
Kilometer 167.
Why would you tell me that?
In the tent, he was going to shoot you.
You bet your life on me.
I've spent 10 years
destroying anything that got between me and Colonel Bach.
I guess it was time to stop.
Does your Colonel Bach deserve to die?
Yes, he does.
Lucky for you, I know how to fly a plane.

(IN ENGLISH) Are you the Jew or the American?
WILL: The Jew is with Himmler. Drop the gun.
Who are you?
William Spalding.
Why are you here?
To find Colonel Martin Bach
of the German Protection Squad,
known better as the SS.
What do you want with me?
Do you remember where you were on August 30th, 1944?
No, not exactly.
Was it Eastern France?
That sounds right.
Was it Bouvier?
Was it a farm with a crashed B-17 bomber and a tank?
It was a long war.
But you remember,
don't you?
It was a long time ago.
You killed six men in cold blood. You remember that.
You were there?
Were you one of the airmen?
Halt, halt, halt!
Put your gun down or I shoot!
(SPEAKING GERMAN)
(IN ENGLISH) William Spalding, walk away.
There are three guards in this room
and a hundred more running around outside the fortress here.
If you fire that pistol, they will hear you,
and you will be dead instantly.
Walk away now,
and you will live.
(ENGINE PURRING)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(SOLDIERS SPEAKING GERMAN)
(LEYNA SPEAKING GERMAN)
(SPEAKING GERMAN)
I'm not walking away.
Then why haven't you shot me?
I want a confession.
A confession?
All right. I will confess.
During the war, an airplane on its way to bomb my country
crashed in front of me.
With the enemy advancing towards me,
and no way to carry prisoners,
I was left with two choices.
One, I could let the men go
so that they could get into another airplane
and continue to bomb my country.
Or, two,
I could kill them to stop them from doing that.
I chose to kill them to save the lives of my men
and my beloved Germany.
Truthfully, you are no different than me.
You, up in your airplane,
dropping bombs on men and women
while they're sleeping in their beds.
Don't... But you did it,
because if you had not,
those same men and women would've woken up,
put on their boots, and built more airplanes
to drop bombs on you while you were sleeping in your bed.
I saw everything you did.
I shouldn't have let you live.
Let me live?
Mmm.
Maybe, all along, it was you
that had to come here to confess to me.
You are gonna die for what you did.
You have nothing to confess to.
You followed every instinct
that I and everyone else in that war would have.
And now, you've crossed the continent
for a confession, and look where you are.
You are going to be responsible for capturing Heinrich Himmler.
You are not a coward. You are a hero.
(SPEAKING GERMAN)
All you have to do
is walk out that door and disappear.
The whole world will know of your bravery.
American newspapers will proclaim your name.
"William Spalding, American hero,
"who captured Heinrich Himmler."
You see,
confessions are for dead men.
You are reborn today,
as a hero.
If I was a hero,
we would both be dead.
We can both live.
Go.
Walk away.
We don't deserve to live.

put it on the ground.
