Voyage of the Damned

Sit

Your debriefing officer was pleased

by the amount of information you brought back.

Thanks, commander.

The asignementon your next voyage is even more important.

- Do you know your destination? - Yes, the captain told us,

A passenger cruise to Havana, Cuba.

Did He tell you the nature of your passengers?

No.

They are all Jews.

Some even from concentration camps.

And are they allowed to leave?

It was arranged by Dr. Goebbels himself.

Jews?

This humanitarian voyage will be the perfect smoke screen.

Since Many of our cells have been discovered

or significant material has been channeled through Miami to Cuba.

On your arrival there, you will go ashore mingeling with the passengers,

and contact Hoffman.

He is our Chief agent in Havana.

Any questions?

Yes man Speak Speak.

Yes, no, I mean, thats clear quite clear, but...

Yes, but what?

These Jews...

They have been given an official permit?

That is not your concern.

All attention will be focused on them, not on you.

But these people they are passengers.

It will be offencive to you to serve them?

Extremely offensive, Admiral.

I see.

It is... it is a violation of all Party principles.

Now listen to me you fool.

This is not an exercise in philosophy.

You have been recruited by inteligence service and given a mission.

Your only concern will be to carry that out, successfully

And without questions.

Forgive me, sir I only ment..

What are your relations with Captain Schroeder?

I misstrust him.

He refuses to join the Party.

That's the very reason he was chosen to be the captain on this voyage,

It is above suspicion.

Yes, but...

the Gestapo has ordered me to observe Him.

Then Observe, but you will avoid any direct confrontation.

I understand...

And now, report to Your briefing officer.

Try to ignore them, Try to ignore them.

Hey you! Where are you from?

Please, We have a suitcase missing.

It is a very important suitcase, please.

Come on.

Everything we own is in that suitcase.

Just think,how Exciting it will be.

Sailing right accross the Sea in a big ship.

Listen to The band Isn't it fine?

And your father... will be waiting.

He has been in Havana for such long time. Just waiting for you

Why didn't you come too, mutti?

I can't. Not yet.

Dont You want to come?

For God sakes Lady can't you ever tell them the truth?

Which truth would you like me to tell them?

The one about why I'm staying, Or the one about why they must go?

Please Sara. Please Do not Cry.

Sara, you must be a brave girl, or will you make me cry

Come along girls.

Not yet, Verner, please.

You said goodbye.

Now I bet you can't run to the top of the gangway on your own.

Yes I can.

Go!

Watch Me mutti!

Take care.

And remember...

That I love you both always.

I hope you don't forget me.

If it's so hard to bear you would have come with them

Bastard.

Come on, look up!

You there.

You, Who are you?

I am from the Ministry of Propaganda.

I have orders to Photograph these people.

You have no authority here.

You either leave, or be showing away!

Sir.

Cabin 373, D deck.

Steward.

- I'll find myself. - Thats what you want.

I feel like a clown.

You look wonderfull.

Everything is in order, Dr. Kreisler.

Professor.

- Joseph! - Aaron.

I ran away and left you.

I thought that they had taken you.

I didn't know what to do.

I came here, I stood outside the gate all night.

Joseph.

I thought I would never see you again.

I was first in this morning.

Joseph.

Would you mind please?

Prepare to start Engines, Mr. Kolmer.

Are we leaving?

Really leaving?

We are leaving. And on time.

Germans are always on timel.

Will we ever come back?

This is only temporary madness. Of course we come back.

Murderers! Butchers!

Mom.

Leave it, come.

Only one, dear.

Well.

The nightmare is nearly over, dearest.

The climate is a lot better for you in Havana.

Do you...

Do you think we...

We shall like it in Havana?

Yes I think so.

We'll like it.

You know.

To go to Travel somewhere

anywhere,

Is sometimes enough.

You haven't touched your Caviar, Mr. Rosen.

Dont you care for it?

- My husband... - My father...

My husband and I are not very Good sailors, doctor.

Then you come and see me, I will give you something to help .

Excuse Me sir. To follow?

You have the duck or the veal.

Roasted duck, veal marengo.

We not whish to make any problems.

No problem, sir. Just as you wish.

Whichever is easier.

I think they like the veal.

Anything.

Will the captain be joining us?

I'm afraid you'll have to do with Me.

- Care to dance Miss Rosen? - Yes.

- It's a rumba, isn't it? - Yes.

I don't know if I can do that.

It's very simple, just let yourself follow the music.

Why is She dancing with one of them?

She doesn't understand that, Carl, please.

It is a wonderful night. Why don't you try to enjoy?

Better.

Very good.

I don't see how it could be any better than this in First class.

That's right.

- You may find out. - How do you mean?

Well, the purser has asked us

if we like to take care of two little girls traveling alone

but take care of... it's the same as take care of two little girls.

We said He should ask you.

Ohh, I `d love to. I miss my own so much.

We took them out six months ago.

They are waiting for me in Havana.

I be so happy to see them.

Of course my husband is still in Germany.

Lets hope He will be able to join you soon.

Lets drink to that.

Doctor. I'm sorry professor.

I heard your lecture about clinical pathology

At Berlin Univertisty about two years ago.

It was a privilege.

Thank you.

But it must have been more then two years ago.

Because later I was replaced as the head of my clinic.

And forbidden to lecture.

But... how did you manage?

Sorry?

How do you live?

To survive.

You know, the... human race

and mine in particular

has a unique capacity to survive.

I lost my clinic, but I'm still a doctor.

But then you where permitted to threat your own people.

Yes.

But even the Aryans of the SS can suffer from blood diseases

You treated the SS?

I am a doctor, not a politician.

SO?

But you are a lawyer.

I'm sure you're familiar with The Hippocratic Oath

Yes.

But there are limits.

As a doctor, it is obliged to treat anyone...

Who ask me for medical help.

Whoever it may be.

Strange enough, my last patient was the father of an SS captain.

In return, he treated us with very much kindness.

You See...

Life is never black and white.
