things, or losing things...
Ya, ya...
She must have taken a small
token sum for her house...
and contrived to have the rest
deposited to her credit in New York.
Oh, that's quite enough to be tried
before the people's court...
- for treason.
- Treason?
Ya...the word doesn't
mean much to you?
I've seen it in history books, but
what's it got to do with my mother?
A great deal, perhaps.
There may be a death penalty.
- For selling a house?
- I'm serious, young man.
The sentence is not
necessarily death...
and even if it is, it is not
necessarily carried out.
But the possibility is always there...
- for death penalty.
- Stop saying that, will you.
My mother...
My mother... what's she got to do with death?
Why, she's life.
You say you knew her, once.
Remember, there's life in everything she does.
The way she walks and talks, and
even when she's just standing still
and just looking at you she's
the livest person in the world.
What's she got to do with death?
I'm sorry, I....
I've been so worried about her, I
guess I'm a little goofy, that's all.
Mr Henning, what can you do for me?
I?
I am a sick man.
There is nothing I can do for you.
Nothing, except to advise you to
return to America as soon as possible!
Don't you understand yet?
This is my mother, I've got to do something.
Yes, yes, I suppose so.
But in the end, you have to give up!
But a good lawyer..
They said you were the best.
Mr Preysing, this is
not the United States!
How long do you suppose I'd be allowed to
go on living here if I handled such cases?
Are you telling me there's
nothing I can do in a legal way?
Nothing.
Go back to America.
But I've got to know something.
What her sentence is,
where's she's being kept.
At least I've got to know that.
- You know. You must...
- I know nothing.
Those trials are secret.
I'd know nothing.
You do!
You're afraid to tell me.
- Well, you will tell me!
- Please!
I had heard you were an
exceptionally courageous man.
Mr Preysing!
Mr Preysing!
Maybe you should go to...
to the Commissioner of Police.
Did you hear him?
"I heard you were an exceptionally
courageous man, Mr Henning."
Mr Preysing, the Commissioner
will see you now.
Come in.
Sit down.
- My name is...
- Ah, yes, your name is Mark Preysing.
And you are an American citizen
and you are also a painter.
A very promising one, I understand.
You seem to know a lot
about me, Mr Commissioner.
I do hope you'll find time to do
some painting in our country.
Art has many forms, has it not?
For instance, the theater...
It is one of my great regrets
that I never saw your mother,
Madame Ritter, on the stage.
