Enclosure (L'Enclos)

Move!

Quickly!

Keep working!

Take your hats off!

Put your hats on!

Stop! It's a burial.

Show dignity. Forward march!

Move, move!

The quarry is a man's job.

Move, move!

They did it on purpose!

Defend yourself, he harmed you.

Kill him.

No.

What? You refuse to obey?

Defend yourself. It's your only chance.

It's your fault and then you attack the labor force?

Get moving!

Not that way, this way!

Sabotage of the German war equipment is a crime.

Report his number to the office.

Tomorrow he will present himself in front of the big gate.

Svoboda... injured.

Keep your mouth shut!

Work!

Karl Schongauer!

Do you sometimes think of your mother?

Yes, Commandant.

Victory and amnesty are not far.

Your mother will wait for you home.

Think of her pain if you don't come back.

We'll have to elucidate this story of clandestine radio.

- I count on you. - Yes, Commandant.

Untie him!

It's been ten years since I've known you, pig head!

You are a German.

You have no right to deceive your mother.

She works for the Reich in the factories.

You should respect her.

Yes, Commandant.

Karl Schongauer, born in Hamburg in 1900.

Family of shipyard workers.

Enrolled in the German navy at 17.

Takes part in the sailors' revolt of 1918.

Arrested, released. Arrested, released.

Embarked as a sailor on a Norwegian cargo ship

which sank off the coast of Reykjavik.

Re-embarked on an Italian ship, "Stella Maris",

he is laid off in Dakar following a fight

in which he was seriously wounded.

He spends one year working in a log yard.

When he returns to Germany in 1924,

he speaks Wolof and French.

1928: He is a permanent member of the Sailors' Union

in Hamburg.

1930: Takes part in the fights against the SA Nazi paramilitaries.

Injured and arrested twice.

1933: Arrested again,

he gets to know the first concentration camp

in an old brewery of Oranienburg.

1937: As part of a "Green Triangles" group,

of professional thieves and assassins,

he participates at the completion of a camp called Buchenwald.

1938: Dachau.

1939: Mauthausen.

1941: Tatenberg, the mountain of the evidence.

- Call for Lieutenant Scheller. - Yes, Commandant!

Take your hats off!

- How long have you been here? - For three weeks.

And before?

I was in a luxury train.

- The Commandant is looking for you. - What is it?

He is with the Gestapo.

Damn!

Is this your last word?

Karl. You are in charge of the clothing warehouse.

Over there, we found stenographs

of the Soldatensender West radio broadcast.

A bunch of traitors.

Jews and Freemasons.

Speak up!

You know exactly what this means.

In case of betrayal,

all Germans should be united.

And this?

I don't know how to do stenography.

Before getting here, I was a sailor.

In the navy we learn how to do radio

not stenography.

You think we're idiots!

To transcribe these notes, one needs a radio.

So

who assembled this radio set?

Who?

Death?

Death.

- Death? - Death.

Prisoner No. 24,

you are sentenced to death.

Prepare the execution. Put him the motherland traitor's banner.

So, we agree?

- Half of your ration. - No, a quarter.

It's not paid enough.

You know... I was never wrong.

Interesting.

So... you pour me the soup?

You know, this is not bullshit.

Look... Here!

You're married.

Children.

Worker.

Clockmaker.

If you're not honest, I stop.

Worker and Clockmaker are the same.

Both of them work.

You're not independently rich, are you?

How do you want me to read your future with this?

You are certainly Jewish.

I'll do it anyway.

You had a happy childhood.

A Ukrainian Jew in 1917 with the Cossacks,

it wasn't ideal.

Yes, that's for sure.

Your Mount of Jupiter is not brilliant.

- You think so? - Wait a minute...

Your Mercury Mount is not bad.

What is it?

Business.

With a Jew this never fails.

There!

There is your arrest.

A big disaster

that lasts.

You'll go through a tough time.

Look. If you give me a quart of your ration tomorrow,

I'll tell you the rest.

Your children will have a long life, that's certain.

Your wife will get a disease but she'll come through.

As for you...

Well what?

A quarter of your soup.

It's completely worth it.

So... does Wt say that I pull through?

If you tell the truth, I'll give you two of my soups.

It's the Mount of Mercury that saves you.

You'll end up as a big storekeeper in your city

in Paris.

Have a safe journey.

Don't worry about us.

Did you hear?

They are capable of sending a report to Himmler.

They're all traitors.

But this isn't something new for you, Scheller, is it?

If I wasn't injured in France,

I'd be on the Eastern front.

It might have been more worthwhile.

I was told you're not a stranger to the sugar traffic.

Who said that? Schongauer?

How do you know that?

Only this vermin would want to tarnish my honor.

But it won't save his skin.

It's a serious accusation. I'll ask for an investigation.

Don't push it too far.

My honor before everything.

I am not accusing you.

I'm just letting you know some rumors circulate around.

We have to clarify this issue. Calumny can be harmful.

A bit earlier the Gestapo implied that

we are too soft with the political prisoners.

Too soft? You're exaggerating.

Maybe they're right.

Explain yourself.

The enemy has to be destroyed physically and morally.

Someone like Schongauer is too insolent knowing he's going to die.

I just saw two prisoners at the quarry today.

Thinking that their life depended on the other one's death,

they killed each other like dogs.

You should try that with Schongauer. But it should last longer.

Not for three minutes, but for 24 hours.

I've known Schongauer for ten years.

We started together at Oranienbourg.

He was a prisoner.

I was a Sargent of the SA.

If you tell him that his life depended of another one's death,

he won't believe it.

It will work for the one in front of him.

And Schongauer will be forced to participate.

You will see if he confesses...

How much time would you need for that?

24 hours.

I accept the bet.

I'm ready.

If I win, I'll take your red horse.

I like it.

According to Schongauer,

it would have cost you a truck of sugar.

Commandant!

If you win,

you'll choose amongst my horses.

You won't be disappointed.
