The Ninth Day Page #6

Synopsis: In World War II, after a period living hell on earth in the concentration camp of Dachau with other catholic priests, Father Abbé Henri Kremer gets a nine days leave to return to his home town for his mother's funeral. Along this period, the SS Gestapo lieutenant Gebhardt tries to persuade Henri, who was born in silver-spoon and member of an influent Luxembourgian family, to convince the local bishop to give-up resisting to the Germans and write a letter to the Vatican in the name of the Catholic Church of Luxemburg convincing the Pope to support Hitler and the Nazi regime. The ambivalent Henri questions himself and the bishop what he shall do.

it's cold in this restaurant.

What do you want to taste?

Be my guest.

How about some scrambled eggs?

It's pretty delicious here.

I'm honored that you came,

some coffee? - Okay

I seldom come to Luxemburg.

I've settled in Lorraine.

For better steel supply

to your weaponry production

Only prepare breakfast for this mister!

- Yes, sir.

Our consul in France, Otto Abetz, he

collects lots of information about you.

You've been to Paris to attend the economic

conference of the conquered country.

In the meeting, you were asked

to improve productivity

And you said to Abetz: Mr. consul,

this is difficult for me, because my

brother's being imprisoned in a camp prison.

Mr. Kremer, if it was not me, your brother

was still in the Dachau camp.

He'll be sent back there soon.

I'm glad to help your brother.

He can be useful in the church.

Only if he'd like to. I don't know a darned

thing about the church's problem.

I only know something about the

carrying trade. For example...

I know you're lack of construction material,

steel, aviation, fuel...

Berlin lets yourselves solve them.

Perhaps I can give you some help.

You get a very high position,

though you're still very young,

You have to consider those issues!

Do you want to do business with me?

We come here not for discussing this.

Thanks.

I only hope, this talk will be a secret

just between two sane men.

If I give the chief of the French Economic

Bureau a call, tell him...

...what you said to me just now. Do you

think what consequence it would be?

You'll put your brother right back

into the camp yourself.

You're right, the egg is yum indeed!

Hail Hitler, captain, just a moment...

Mr. Kremer, I didn't see you.

Please come in!

Good Morning!

Please take a seat.

What did he say?

I didn't see him.

I don't mean the conclavist.

What's the meaning of the song?

It's my wife's favourite song.

But I don't know its meaning.

You know both languages,

can you translate it?

What?

Beautiful memory...

Please wait a minute!

The night full of bright stars...

I don't understand

Charming memory...

Sweet dream...

Sweet dream...

And moonlight shining on the surface of

the ocean. Thanks, my wife's gonna love this

I'm very sorry that you

didn't see the conclavist

He's sick! I don't know

if he's gonna see me or not

But nonetheless

I know just what he'll say

Luxemburg is not

a Judas's country

Do you know what my mentor did to me?

Judas... This treacherous action I've been

doing for a long time

It's a fascinating phenomenon!

Jesus and Judas,

they're like brothers.

They depend on each other.

But Judas betrayed Jesus

for thirty silver coins.

But he didn't take any,
