Puppet Master: Axis Termination (2017) Movie Script

[wind whooshing]
[wings flapping]
[dramatic drumbeat music]
[tense music]
[knocking]
Danny, Beth.
Captain Brooks?
Yes.
Thank God.
We thought you'd never get here.
[Captain Brooks] Do
you have the others?
Where are you taking us?
[gasps]
No.
[gunshot booms]
Danny.
[gunshot booms]
Ah!
[gunshot booms]
[dramatic music]
[moaning]
Danny.
I'm sorry, he's gone.
Take care of them.
Them?
[dramatic music]
[typewriter keys clacking]
[big band music]
[buzzing]
Yes, General?
[General Over
Speaker] Send in Brooks.
Captain Brooks,
you can go in now.
Well, a day late
and a dollar short
up until now, wouldn't you say?
Sir?
Your performance
on this assignment?
Yes, sir.
Says here you've
been in trouble before.
Combat fatigue?
Yes, sir.
Well, I guess that's
none of my business,
and I'm stuck with you now.
Yes, sir.
You looked in that
trunk, didn't you?
Yes, sir.
Some sort of uh, fancy
backroom boy stuff.
No, Captain, that's no
fancy backroom boy stuff.
Well then, sir, I have no idea
what the hell's going on here.
Frankly Captain,
neither do I, but lucky
for the both of us, that's
what orders are for.
Yes, sir.
[big band music]
[buzzing]
[General Over
Speaker] Send in Ivanov.
Yes, General.
[Secretary] You may go in now.
Ma'am.
[mysterious music]
[chuckles]
What is this, sir?
We startin' a
sideshow or something?
Captain Brooks,
Dr. Ivan Ivanov.
Doctor of what exactly?
Theology.
God knows that'll
come in handy.
He does.
Is that a German accent, Doc?
Russian.
Definitely not German.
You know, they keep tellin' us
that the Russians
are our pals, now.
Well, at least that's
what they keep tellin' us.
I supposed trust is
hard to come by, Captain,
even here in America.
Alright, alright, enough.
Have a seat.
Listen up.
Here's the lowdown.
Now, we have it on
good intelligence
that the Axis has a
special unit investigating,
okay, magic.
I'm sorry.
[chuckling]
Did you say magic?
You heard me.
Mindreading, voodoo,
call it what you like.
Like these damn puppets,
and they've been
getting results.
So get that look off
your face, Captain.
Sorry, sir.
Now, Captain, Dr. Ivanov
here has been put in charge
of our own Allied
Special Projects Unit
by men with a lot
more stars than I got,
and the first job is to find
out how these puppets work.
Well yes, sir, if you so say.
Oh, I say so.
Yes, sir, I do say so Captain.
Take a look.
Now the Nazis have
their own puppets
and these are American citizens
that these things have killed
along with one of
our own generals.
They're probably planning
more fifth column
stuff as we speak,
so I don't want
any more "Yes, sirs" outta you.
I got my orders and
now you got yours,
and by the way, from here on in,
you're taking orders
from the dwarf.
Dismissed.
Let's go Captain.
[dramatic music]
[ominous music]
[Gerde] Herr Freuhoffer.
[Krabke] Is this your
doing, Frau Doktor?
[Gerde] My doing?
Sturmbanfuhrer Krabke.
I told you we
needed him alive.
What happened to him?
Nothing to do with me.
Simply
died of old age.
Natural causes.
It does sometimes
happen, even in wartime.
What about the
Chinatown facility?
It's nuts.
Destroyed,
but all is not lost.
We have
this,
and we have
these.
It seems Herr
Freuhoffer was making
some much needed
repairs when he um,
met his maker.
You can control them?
Of course.
This green liquid
gives them life,
but they need more than life.
They need a master.
Like men.
They shall.
Frau Doktor?
[eerie chime music]
He's here.
Who is?
A very dangerous woman,
one I've met before.
Come.
We must hurry.
So, my little friend.
We will finish our business.
We must work quickly.
They have found an old master.
Very well, Frau Doktor.
Show me what they can do.
What you can do.
[tense music]
I'm telling ya, George,
I think I heard something.
You're always
hearing something.
Will you come over here
and give me a hand?
No, I'm sure this time.
You're always sure, Bobby.
I'll be back in a sec.
[George] Come on, Bobby.
[tense music]
[Bobby] I think I see
something over here.
Yeah, yeah.
[ominous music]
Bobby, you okay?
Bobby?
[thudding]
Ah!
[screaming]
[buzzing]
[dramatic music]
[gunshots booming]
[Frau Doctor] Very good
[speaking foreign language].
Now, attach the bombs
where I told you,
and come back to your master.
[tense music]
[booming]
[somber music]
[gasps]
[hissing]
Father.
Don't be afraid, Elisa.
He's a friend.
A friend?
He's alive.
A living puppet.
Father, I dreamed
about others like him.
Later, my dear.
Hurry now.
Get dressed.
Something's happened.
Half the city's gone dark.
I've called a meeting.
[eerie music]
We'll have to work
on you, my friend.
[eerie music]
Captain, Miss Georgina Vale.
Ma'am.
My, my.
An officer and a gentleman.
My daughter, Elisa.
Your, I'm sorry,
your daughter?
Good evening, miss.
Good evening.
Yes, Captain.
We can have children
of conventional size.
May we proceed?
You're the boss, Doc.
Thank you.
Elisa, Miss Vale.
Captain Brooks will be
serving as a liaison
to the war department.
All three of us, Miss
Vale, my daughter and I
have certain special abilities
that have made us
suitable for membership
in this organization.
Yes, sir.
Miss Vale is our resident
expert in the occult
and an accomplished witch.
[chuckles]
Right.
She specializes
in sexual magic.
Do tell.
Don't we all?
My daughter, Elisa, is
a psychic and clairvoyant.
That means...
I know what it means.
It means she can
tell the future,
like a fortune teller
or a fortune cookie.
Something like that,
but only in her dreams.
How 'bout you, Doc?
What's your trick?
Can you tell me what I'm
thinking right about now?
I'm afraid I can't
read minds, Captain,
but I can sense emotions.
Anger, fear,
love.
I can project them as well.
For instance, I can
paralyze a man with fear.
So can a .45 automatic
or a bunch of wind up...
Freaks?
Yeah.
My friends.
You have to forgive the captain.
He seems angry, but underneath
I'm sensing something else.
Fear.
[chuckling]
You think I'm
afraid of all this?
Your little spook show
you're running here?
Oh, no, Captain.
I'm sensing something else.
A deeper fear, very deep.
Something you've
been carrying around
for some time, like a bad tooth.
I can extract it if you like.
Let's just stick
to business, hmm?
Very well.
Elisa.
I saw three of
them down underground
surrounded by machines, I think.
One of the them was
all metal, like a tank.
Another one was like a
werewolf in a Nazi uniform,
and a third one was a woman
with machine guns for breasts.
They planted the bombs.
Okay.
So, you're tellin'
me things like these
blacked out half the city?
There was somebody else.
A shadow behind
them, guiding them.
No one's shadow, very powerful.
A master.
Father.
It was her.
[ominous music]
[vocalizing in foreign language]
[grunting]
Who is this, anyway?
[choking]
[Thomas] What do
you want from me?
Stop!
Thomas Otterman.
Sounds German, is
he one of ours?
Hmm?
Oh, no.
No one in particular.
Just someone to practice on.
Now I think
red hot needles under
the fingernails, hmm?
[screaming]
[Thomas] Stop!
Ah!
Ah!
So, your puppets
damaged the substation
to black out the
city for a few hours.
No more than any one of
our agents could have done.
By morning everything
be back to normal,
but now I think the
teeth, yah, yah.
The teeth.
[screaming]
I can't say that you've
impressed me, Frau Doktor,
but I'm nothing if
not a reasonable man.
[grunting]
Do convince me.
[screaming]
[ominous music]
[Thomas] Stop!
Did you know, Frau
Doktor that the most
common nightmares involve
the breaking of teeth?
Teeth being
shattered, pulled out?
No, Sturmbanfuhrer,
I did not know that.
Yah, it's true.
Damage to the fingers, the eyes,
the nose I find is
most fascinating.
[wailing]
Perhaps after the war is over
you should write a paper on it.
When the war is over?
Some would consider that a
naive position, Frau Doktor,
but please, go on talking
about your puppets.
Yes, of course.
Sturmbanfuhrer Krabke, there
are things my puppets can do.
Your puppets?
Our puppets.
There are things
our puppets can do
that not even an army can.
Really?
You should find
this interesting.
Observe the eyes.
[wailing]
The roots of the eyes are
most sensitive, Frau Doktor,
most sensitive.
[Thomas] Let me die!
[crying]
You were saying?
My pup, our puppets
can do many things.
For example, they can climb
up the side of buildings,
through ventilation shafts.
They can even assassinate
a prime minister,
a president,
even a fuhrer.
Herr Krabke, our adversaries
have their own puppets,
their own elixir.
They may even have the
secret to making more,
more puppets, more
elixir and what's more
to the point is they have found
an old master.
Someone I have met before.
He is not to be underestimated.
We must act before they do.
This one's about used up.
No, Sturmbanfuhrer, I
may have some use for him,
if you don't mind.
Not at all, Frau Doktor,
and I see your point
about the other puppets.
What is your plan?
Oberhelfer Steitze!
Yah, Frau Doktor?
Fetch the [speaking
foreign language].
Yah, Frau Doktor.
She has no special power?
No, but she and her
girls have their uses.
Yah.
[ominous music]
[thudding]
France yet again
at Germany's feet.
Seems so natural,
Madame Longpre.
Herr Krabke, Madame Longpre
is one of the world's
preeminent scholars
of the occult
and France's most
renowned psychic.
Is that so?
Yes.
Madame Longpre helped us
locate the two Americans
who were hiding
Toulon's puppets.
She stole the information
right from the mind
of General Hansard, isn't
that right, Madame Antoinette?
Yes, Frau Doktor.
Really?
And how do you keep secrets
from such a creature?
You think she was dangerous?
[chuckles]
My dear Antoinette?
No, not dangerous at all.
A dog who has been trained
properly is not dangerous.
Isn't that right, Antoinette?
Yes, Frau Doktor.
Nothing pleases the
eye more than the sight
of a properly beaten bitch.
Come, Antoinette,
send out your powers.
Search for the puppets.
Where are they?
Who has them?
Seek, Antoinette, seek.
[eerie chime music]
So, upstairs is secure.
What the hell are you doing?
Showing yourself like that
in front of a young girl?
Captain, leave Miss
Vale alone, please.
She's making her own arrangements
to protect the house.
What, by showing off her...
Leave her alone, please.
And I have seen women's
breasts before, Captain,
but thank you for your concern.
You're welcome.
So what is all this?
I found it hidden
in Toulon's trunk.
I believe it is the
scroll of Osiris.
The secret of the
elixir by which
the dead can be dowried life.
Unfortunately, I can't read it.
The hieroglyphics
are too ancient,
unless I use some of this.
This is all we have left
to keep our friends alive.
Our enemies, no
doubt, have even less.
They'll be coming
for this and this,
unless we conceal ourselves.
Okay, so this crowd
thing we're talking about.
Gerde Ernst,
Doktor Gerde Ernst.
Right.
So, her and the rest of them.
They're looking for us and
we're looking for them.
Meanwhile, they're
hiding from us
and we're hiding from them.
You know, back in
the day, my dad
used to call that a stalemate.
Yes, yes, I suppose it is
for now.
She can't read minds Captain,
but she has someone who can.
They'll be searching for us,
for anyone in the city
who's thinking about us,
about this place.
Put this around
your neck, Captain.
What is it?
It's an elder sign.
There are ways to protect
us so long as we stay inside
these walls to shadow us.
These will do the same
when we go outside.
Okay, you say they're
trying to look for us, right?
Why don't we do the same thing?
I mean, use some of
this voodoo stuff
to try to find them.
We spent most of the night
trying without success.
No doubt Frau Ernst has shrouded
their hiding place in much
the same way that we have,
but we do have an advantage.
Magic leaves a
psychic trace behind.
If we can find the
site of sabotage,
Georgina can track
them to their base,
but we need you to find out
where the bombs were planted.
Okay.
I'm on it.
[ominous music]
You like this?
Oh, yah, I like it.
Like it, cupcake.
Close your eyes, big boy,
and I'll give you
a big surprise.
Ah ah, no peeking.
Close those eyes tight.
[chuckling]
[mysterious music]
You can open your eyes now.
[dramatic music]
Ah!
[screaming]
Ah!
[screaming]
Go and get the man.
[bubbling]
[ominous music]
Yes, this time I've got it.
You see?
We can duplicate
the Freuhoffer...
[crashing]
[ominous music]
You were saying, Frau Doktor?
[eerie chime music]
You're up late Captain.
So are you, Miss Ivanov.
Coffee?
No, thanks.
I just had a dream about you.
Oh yeah?
Should I be flattered?
I saw you in the
battle, wounded,
hiding under the bodies
of your comrades,
the Germans firing
into the bodies.
Who told you about that?
I told you, I just
dreamed about it.
That's where you got the scar.
What else?
Nothing.
Is there anything else?
Yeah, I don't suppose
you dreamed about
me being shipped stateside
for combat fatigue,
which is a nice way of
saying I cracked up.
It's nothing to be
ashamed of, Captain.
You tell that to my
friends and the men
who were over there
dying for our country
while I'm sitting here
babysitting a bunch of...
[creaking]
I guess I just
wasn't tough enough.
It's very strange.
What is?
How much you and
my father are alike.
Oh, wow, really?
That just made my day.
Strong men, men
confident in their power,
who've never had
to face a failure.
It's not easy, is it?
My father wouldn't
talk about my mother.
We don't even have
a picture of her.
What happened to her?
We were captured, my
father, my mother and I,
by a special unit of the Gestapo
while my father was
lecturing in Leipzig.
They were looking for the people
with exceptional abilities,
rounding them up.
This woman, she had great
power like my father.
This dreadful woman.
The one that we're
looking for now?
Yeah.
She's quite a fool, really.
She imagines she'll
have a special place
in the new world order.
The Nazis are only using
her and others like her.
If they were to win,
there'd be no place
for people like her, like us.
We're freaks.
[knocking]
[ominous music]
What is it?
Go get your father.
[knocking]
Who is it?
Courier from Central Command.
Let me see your credentials.
[ominous music]
Captain Brooks.
I have your reports
from my department.
[mysterious music]
I've got them.
I've got them.
According to this, the
bomb was planted here.
Substation 212.
What about the
damage, Captain?
Can we get in there?
I don't know.
Corporal.
Well, sir, repair
crews rerouted the juice,
so the whole station shut down.
The thing is, I heard
the feds have been
all over that place and
they didn't find nothin',
so I don't know what you think
you're going to find.
You don't have
to worry, angel.
I'll take care of that.
Yes, ma'am.
Elisa, I wish for
you to remain here.
But Father, I...
Yes, Father.
Chester, Pinhead.
You'll remain here, as well.
You know what Doc?
I think we should
bring the corporal here
with us, as well.
Very well.
Georgina, give
him an elder sign.
What's an elder sign?
Just put it around your neck.
I'll explain later.
Oh, don't bother, sir.
I'm an enlisted man.
[eerie music]
[ominous music]
[creaking]
[gasping]
Captain.
Captain Smith, just
what is that there woman
doing with that chicken foot?
Shhh, she's
searching for a trace
of the ones who
were here before.
If she finds it, we should
be able to follow it, too.
[crackling]
Ah!
Doctor, we must
leave here at once.
[ominous tense music]
[speaking foreign language]
Mein Frau.
Where are they, little man?
Come now, no surprises.
It won't help you.
Bring them out, little man.
[tense music]
Down, make them all
lie down on the floor.
That's better.
You've met my
associate, Frau Doktor,
but I don't believe
we've had the pleasure.
I am Sturmbanfuhrer Krabke.
They say you're very
powerful Herr Ivanov,
and old master.
Was you trying to send
something in my direction?
Some kind of attack?
[chuckling]
Yes, Herr Ivanov, fear can
be a very powerful weapon.
[whimpering]
Those quaint charms.
You're all wearing elder signs.
An effective defense,
but they don't seem
to work against me.
I draw my powers from
a more ancient well.
You know this mark, the
mark of the old gods,
the first gods.
But what you failed
to fight against this,
what need have I of Frau
Gerde and her puppets?
I'll make you all
dance to my strings.
You dare challenge me?
A dwarf!
[speaking foreign language]
[moaning]
Two citizen soldiers.
[moaning]
Should I start with
you, old master?
No, no I don't think so.
I don't think that
would be a fair test.
Little body too weak.
The mind too strong
I'll hunt you
for scientific purposes.
We should choose a
more typical specimen.
You'd like to send them
against me, wouldn't you?
[chuckling]
But I have my own
blades, my own [mumbles],
my own [mumbles].
Here.
[tense music]
Stand up, please.
Kiss my ass, you
kraut son of a...
[slaps]
That's better.
Nice and quiet.
Now, what was I saying?
Oh, yes, I know a man
be driven mad from fear,
but can a man die
from fear alone?
Shall we find out?
[moaning]
So many nerves,
so hard to find them all.
See them, tweak them!
[moaning]
Twisting them.
[speaking foreign language]
[choking]
[dramatic music]
Excellent.
Oh, oh but I'll be tired.
Oh, it would be so much easier
if I didn't have
to control you all.
[tense music]
The scroll.
The scroll of Osiris.
The dwarf.
He was studying it
at this table,
but she doesn't know
where it is now.
[thuds]
I swear, Frau Doktor.
Frau Doktor.
Hmm?
[tense music]
Frau Doktor, I've got it.
No, wait!
[gunshots booming]
[gasping]
Fool.
[mysterious music]
[dramatic music]
[gasping]
[tense music]
These puppets of Toulon's,
they are harder to
control than ours.
Not like the [speaking
foreign language].
Come.
Let's see if the
illustrious Sturmbanfuhrer
has had more luck
finding the father
than we have had here.
[dramatic music]
[tense music]
Anxious to join
your friend, soldier?
But a bit later.
Perhaps I should try a
specimen of the inferior sex.
Und inferior race.
[moaning]
[speaking foreign language]
[tense music]
Ah!
[screaming]
[crackling]
[buzzing]
[wailing]
[dramatic music]
[footsteps clacking]
[Georgina] Have
courage, mon cherie.
She was here.
She leaves her
psychic trace behind.
I can sense it like
the odor of decay.
There's no sign of Elisa.
I searched the whole house.
Yes.
I could feel the emptiness
as soon as we arrived.
They have her.
Gerde and [mumbling] Krabke!
They have her.
They also took Pinhead.
There's no sign of him.
Yes, I know.
Doctor, what are we
going to do about Elisa?
I mean, if they...
Captain, what
can any of us do?
Pray that God gives
us strength to bear
whatever trials He sends us,
if we must.
[tense music]
[Friede] Do you
wish to revive it?
No, there's not enough
elixir for experiments,
though there are possibilities.
Be of good cheer,
Fraulein Steitze.
I am always
cheerful Frau Doktor.
Indeed.
Of course.
The Fuhrer expects
all young German women
to be cheerful at all times.
Does he really?
Indeed, Frau Doktor.
Cheerful and useful.
Well, Oberhelfer
Steitze, you're truly
one remarkable monster.
Thank you, Frau Doktor.
[tense music]
How are you feeling,
Sturmban Freuhoff?
If you [mumbling]
I can let you
experience the pain firsthand.
No, thank you Herr Krabke.
I was just being polite.
You're very
lucky, Frau Doktor.
How so?
My own failure this
evening makes it impossible
for me to condemn you for yours.
Well, it's hardly necessary,
but I won't fail again.
[dramatic music]
[eerie music]
Why don't we just
destroy this thing?
For the last 4,000 years,
Captain, far wiser men
than you or I could have
destroyed this scroll.
If they chose to
preserve it instead,
then perhaps we should
defer to that wisdom.
[muffled radio chattering
in foreign language]
This is the dwarf's daughter?
Yes.
Pretty little bit
of bait, isn't she?
Let's hope she
brings in the big fish.
[tense music]
[gasps]
Welcome fraulein.
[knocking]
[ominous music]
What does it say?
They want the
rest of the elixir,
the puppets, the scroll and me.
In return, Elisa will
be released unharmed.
If not...
You don't believe
them, do you?
Of course not, but
we must do something.
Doctor, look.
[tense music]
It's hair.
Just a single strand.
Not from the woman doctor.
It belongs to the one
who left the message.
Still something I can work with.
And this is something
we can work with
to better protect us all.
[tense music]
[dramatic music]
[groaning]
So, they tell me you
can dream the future, hmm?
[crying]
Did you dream of your own death?
The death of your
freakish father?
All these decadent
cities in flames, hmm?
Yes.
Yes.
I dreamed of cities in flames.
Dresden.
Munich.
Berlin,
the whole damn thousand
years Reich in flames.
Oh, and something else.
I saw bunkers,
stinking old ratty.
A rat called, ah!
Silence!
Herr Krabke!
That is enough.
What did you say?
We need her.
For now, let her be.
Frau Doktor, you
forget yourself.
I am the officer in
charge of this station.
Yes, yes,
Sturmbanfuhrer, of course.
Frau Ernst!
[tense music]
Herr Krabke.
I want you to understand
that I do respect
your exceptional abilities
and I appreciate our
superior's choice
to put you in command
of this station.
[moaning]
You must understand
that rank and title
are not the same as the
aristocracy of nature.
I hope you didn't think
that the scribblings
on your chest would
protect you from me.
They protected you from
Herr Ivanov but not so.
They did not protect
you from his powers,
only from his scruples.
Some weakness in the man
that prevents him from
crushing another man's soul.
You are nothing but a traitor!
If you harm me...
Herr Krabke.
I very much want us to have
a productive relationship
but you must understand
what that relationship is.
[wailing]
You prattle on of old gods,
first gods.
This hand,
it held the first stone knife
that cut the heart out
of the first child,
sacrificed to the first darkness
that crawled up out of the
chaos of the long night.
The darkness that has no name.
The great shadow
that cast you and I
and the Fuhrer
in all the terrible
workings of the world.
[moaning]
I have seen the captives fed
to the flames
at the mighty temples of
Murdoch and I have seen
ten thousands of
heads of the slain
piled at the gates [mumbles].
Oh, the things I have seen.
Come.
[moaning]
Go ahead.
[moaning]
When you have passed through
as many lives as I have,
when you have died as
many deaths as I have,
you will learn
that one has infinite
ways to inflict pain,
and it is the knife to the
soul that cuts the deepest.
Enough.
Herr Krabke, speak,
but choose your words wisely.
Do we understand each other?
Yah, Frau Doktor.
Now go and get
yourself cleaned up.
Our guests will be
arriving any minute.
[tense music]
Are you ready, Fraulein Steitze?
Yah, Frau Doktor.
Any thoughts, Fraulein Steitze
on what just happened between
myself and the Sturmbanfuhrer?
I never involve myself in
disputes of my superiors.
I simply follow orders to
the best of my ability.
[ominous music]
They are protected,
Doctor, like Krabke.
[tense music]
[dramatic music]
[hissing]
Ah!
[screaming]
[dramatic music]
[ominous music]
[mumbling]
Wait.
They know we're here.
[tense music]
Please.
Please.
Please help me.
I'm sorry.
I can't.
There is nothing we can do.
We can't win.
That's not true.
Read my mind, my dream.
Please.
Antoinette!
Yes, Frau Doktor?
Well, where are they?
I don't know.
I can't find them.
They must be enshadowed.
Protected.
Antoinette.
Antoinette, are you lying?
I swear.
I swear I'm not lying.
I'll keep trying.
I'll keep trying.
[tense music]
[gunshots booming]
[dramatic music]
Georgina, get downstairs.
I'll cover you.
So, you did not
know they were here?
I guess some dogs can
never be properly trained.
Weremutt, kill her.
[dramatic music]
[screaming]
[crying]
[clicking]
[gunshots booming]
[thudding]
[moaning]
[dramatic music]
Ah!
[choking]
[Man] You trying to trick me?
No, no, no, please.
[dramatic music]
Now put your head back.
Close your eyes.
Now open your mouth.
Yes, yes.
Now, you are about to be kissed
like you've never
been kissed before.
[tense music]
[choking]
[gunshots booming]
[dramatic music]
Let's get outta here, Doc.
Come on, this way.
[dramatic music]
[gunshots booming]
[tense music]
Is that you, little one?
[chuckling]
[whirring]
[dramatic music]
[screaming]
[speaking foreign language]
Ah!
[dramatic music]
[screaming]
Herr Doctor.
Frau Doktor.
Still struggling to control
mere bits of wood and metal?
There's so much more
to mere wood and metal.
They have souls,
and I've never tried
to control them,
only to guide them.
Yes, that's always
been your weakness.
Not wanting to
tamper with the soul.
It's why you couldn't
save your wife.
It's why you cannot
save your daughter.
[tense music]
Oh.
I'm glad you've come
back, Americana.
[grunts]
I won't kill you, not just yet.
I want you to see what I'm
going to do to the girl.
[grunting]
[ominous music]
Always been one
of your weaknesses.
You care too much.
But to me,
wood, metal,
flesh, spirit,
man, puppet
all the same.
I use them and when I
no longer need them,
I throw them away.
I have no need of armies,
fuhrers,
[speaking foreign language].
They're just layers
of skin that I shed
as I grow ever larger,
lifetime after lifetime.
I know the elixir
is almost gone.
Where is the scroll, little man?
If you cannot read it, I can.
Answer me!
You know which one
of us is stronger.
[tense music]
Very well.
Let's do this
my way.
[chuckling]
[tense music]
Stupid Americana, why
won't you stay down?
That's right.
I'm a stupid American.
[grunting]
You don't know when to quit.
You don't know when to lay down.
We're so dumb, we're
just gonna keep coming
and coming until we roll
over fuckin' Berlin.
[thuds]
Oh!
[screams]
[dramatic music]
[speaking foreign language]
[choking]
[crunching]
Where is the
scroll, little man?
Tell me.
Tell me.
Think of your daughter.
Think of what I'll do to her.
You dare?
Kill him.
Kill him!
I've never tried
to control them,
only to guide them.
[gunshots booming]
[dramatic music]
Enough, my friends.
[whirring]
Please.
[Elisa] Father.
[Ivan] Elisa.
I wasn't frightened, Father.
I knew you would come.
I saw it in my dream.
Thank heavens.
What about Krabke?
Burning in hell, if
there's any justice.
What about uh...
[groaning]
Stay here.
You can't
defeat me.
I'll see you again
in the next life.
I don't think so.
What are you doing?
[dramatic music]
No, no!
No! No!
No! No!
[tense music]
I'm sorry, but she
had to be stopped.
What did you do to her, Doc?
It's a terrible
power I have to reach
into someone's soul,
to create feelings
and desires or to
take them away.
What's left when you
take them all away?
No emotion, no desire,
no hunger, no fear,
no love, no hate.
Wanting nothing,
needing nothing.
Feeling nothing.
Just an empty soul
floating through
time and space forever.
[somber music]
[eerie music]
[wind whooshing]
[wings flapping]
[dramatic drumbeat music]
[tense music]
[knocking]
Danny, Beth.
Captain Brooks?
Yes.
Thank God.
We thought you'd never get here.
[Captain Brooks] Do
you have the others?
Where are you taking us?
[gasps]
No.
[gunshot booms]
Danny.
[gunshot booms]
Ah!
[gunshot booms]
[dramatic music]
[moaning]
Danny.
I'm sorry, he's gone.
Take care of them.
Them?
[dramatic music]
[typewriter keys clacking]
[big band music]
[buzzing]
Yes, General?
[General Over
Speaker] Send in Brooks.
Captain Brooks,
you can go in now.
Well, a day late
and a dollar short
up until now, wouldn't you say?
Sir?
Your performance
on this assignment?
Yes, sir.
Says here you've
been in trouble before.
Combat fatigue?
Yes, sir.
Well, I guess that's
none of my business,
and I'm stuck with you now.
Yes, sir.
You looked in that
trunk, didn't you?
Yes, sir.
Some sort of uh, fancy
backroom boy stuff.
No, Captain, that's no
fancy backroom boy stuff.
Well then, sir, I have no idea
what the hell's going on here.
Frankly Captain,
neither do I, but lucky
for the both of us, that's
what orders are for.
Yes, sir.
[big band music]
[buzzing]
[General Over
Speaker] Send in Ivanov.
Yes, General.
[Secretary] You may go in now.
Ma'am.
[mysterious music]
[chuckles]
What is this, sir?
We startin' a
sideshow or something?
Captain Brooks,
Dr. Ivan Ivanov.
Doctor of what exactly?
Theology.
God knows that'll
come in handy.
He does.
Is that a German accent, Doc?
Russian.
Definitely not German.
You know, they keep tellin' us
that the Russians
are our pals, now.
Well, at least that's
what they keep tellin' us.
I supposed trust is
hard to come by, Captain,
even here in America.
Alright, alright, enough.
Have a seat.
Listen up.
Here's the lowdown.
Now, we have it on
good intelligence
that the Axis has a
special unit investigating,
okay, magic.
I'm sorry.
[chuckling]
Did you say magic?
You heard me.
Mindreading, voodoo,
call it what you like.
Like these damn puppets,
and they've been
getting results.
So get that look off
your face, Captain.
Sorry, sir.
Now, Captain, Dr. Ivanov
here has been put in charge
of our own Allied
Special Projects Unit
by men with a lot
more stars than I got,
and the first job is to find
out how these puppets work.
Well yes, sir, if you so say.
Oh, I say so.
Yes, sir, I do say so Captain.
Take a look.
Now the Nazis have
their own puppets
and these are American citizens
that these things have killed
along with one of
our own generals.
They're probably planning
more fifth column
stuff as we speak,
so I don't want
any more "Yes, sirs" outta you.
I got my orders and
now you got yours,
and by the way, from here on in,
you're taking orders
from the dwarf.
Dismissed.
Let's go Captain.
[dramatic music]
[ominous music]
[Gerde] Herr Freuhoffer.
[Krabke] Is this your
doing, Frau Doktor?
[Gerde] My doing?
Sturmbanfuhrer Krabke.
I told you we
needed him alive.
What happened to him?
Nothing to do with me.
Simply
died of old age.
Natural causes.
It does sometimes
happen, even in wartime.
What about the
Chinatown facility?
It's nuts.
Destroyed,
but all is not lost.
We have
this,
and we have
these.
It seems Herr
Freuhoffer was making
some much needed
repairs when he um,
met his maker.
You can control them?
Of course.
This green liquid
gives them life,
but they need more than life.
They need a master.
Like men.
They shall.
Frau Doktor?
[eerie chime music]
He's here.
Who is?
A very dangerous woman,
one I've met before.
Come.
We must hurry.
So, my little friend.
We will finish our business.
We must work quickly.
They have found an old master.
Very well, Frau Doktor.
Show me what they can do.
What you can do.
[tense music]
I'm telling ya, George,
I think I heard something.
You're always
hearing something.
Will you come over here
and give me a hand?
No, I'm sure this time.
You're always sure, Bobby.
I'll be back in a sec.
[George] Come on, Bobby.
[tense music]
[Bobby] I think I see
something over here.
Yeah, yeah.
[ominous music]
Bobby, you okay?
Bobby?
[thudding]
Ah!
[screaming]
[buzzing]
[dramatic music]
[gunshots booming]
[Frau Doctor] Very good
[speaking foreign language].
Now, attach the bombs
where I told you,
and come back to your master.
[tense music]
[booming]
[somber music]
[gasps]
[hissing]
Father.
Don't be afraid, Elisa.
He's a friend.
A friend?
He's alive.
A living puppet.
Father, I dreamed
about others like him.
Later, my dear.
Hurry now.
Get dressed.
Something's happened.
Half the city's gone dark.
I've called a meeting.
[eerie music]
We'll have to work
on you, my friend.
[eerie music]
Captain, Miss Georgina Vale.
Ma'am.
My, my.
An officer and a gentleman.
My daughter, Elisa.
Your, I'm sorry,
your daughter?
Good evening, miss.
Good evening.
Yes, Captain.
We can have children
of conventional size.
May we proceed?
You're the boss, Doc.
Thank you.
Elisa, Miss Vale.
Captain Brooks will be
serving as a liaison
to the war department.
All three of us, Miss
Vale, my daughter and I
have certain special abilities
that have made us
suitable for membership
in this organization.
Yes, sir.
Miss Vale is our resident
expert in the occult
and an accomplished witch.
[chuckles]
Right.
She specializes
in sexual magic.
Do tell.
Don't we all?
My daughter, Elisa, is
a psychic and clairvoyant.
That means...
I know what it means.
It means she can
tell the future,
like a fortune teller
or a fortune cookie.
Something like that,
but only in her dreams.
How 'bout you, Doc?
What's your trick?
Can you tell me what I'm
thinking right about now?
I'm afraid I can't
read minds, Captain,
but I can sense emotions.
Anger, fear,
love.
I can project them as well.
For instance, I can
paralyze a man with fear.
So can a .45 automatic
or a bunch of wind up...
Freaks?
Yeah.
My friends.
You have to forgive the captain.
He seems angry, but underneath
I'm sensing something else.
Fear.
[chuckling]
You think I'm
afraid of all this?
Your little spook show
you're running here?
Oh, no, Captain.
I'm sensing something else.
A deeper fear, very deep.
Something you've
been carrying around
for some time, like a bad tooth.
I can extract it if you like.
Let's just stick
to business, hmm?
Very well.
Elisa.
I saw three of
them down underground
surrounded by machines, I think.
One of the them was
all metal, like a tank.
Another one was like a
werewolf in a Nazi uniform,
and a third one was a woman
with machine guns for breasts.
They planted the bombs.
Okay.
So, you're tellin'
me things like these
blacked out half the city?
There was somebody else.
A shadow behind
them, guiding them.
No one's shadow, very powerful.
A master.
Father.
It was her.
[ominous music]
[vocalizing in foreign language]
[grunting]
Who is this, anyway?
[choking]
[Thomas] What do
you want from me?
Stop!
Thomas Otterman.
Sounds German, is
he one of ours?
Hmm?
Oh, no.
No one in particular.
Just someone to practice on.
Now I think
red hot needles under
the fingernails, hmm?
[screaming]
[Thomas] Stop!
Ah!
Ah!
So, your puppets
damaged the substation
to black out the
city for a few hours.
No more than any one of
our agents could have done.
By morning everything
be back to normal,
but now I think the
teeth, yah, yah.
The teeth.
[screaming]
I can't say that you've
impressed me, Frau Doktor,
but I'm nothing if
not a reasonable man.
[grunting]
Do convince me.
[screaming]
[ominous music]
[Thomas] Stop!
Did you know, Frau
Doktor that the most
common nightmares involve
the breaking of teeth?
Teeth being
shattered, pulled out?
No, Sturmbanfuhrer,
I did not know that.
Yah, it's true.
Damage to the fingers, the eyes,
the nose I find is
most fascinating.
[wailing]
Perhaps after the war is over
you should write a paper on it.
When the war is over?
Some would consider that a
naive position, Frau Doktor,
but please, go on talking
about your puppets.
Yes, of course.
Sturmbanfuhrer Krabke, there
are things my puppets can do.
Your puppets?
Our puppets.
There are things
our puppets can do
that not even an army can.
Really?
You should find
this interesting.
Observe the eyes.
[wailing]
The roots of the eyes are
most sensitive, Frau Doktor,
most sensitive.
[Thomas] Let me die!
[crying]
You were saying?
My pup, our puppets
can do many things.
For example, they can climb
up the side of buildings,
through ventilation shafts.
They can even assassinate
a prime minister,
a president,
even a fuhrer.
Herr Krabke, our adversaries
have their own puppets,
their own elixir.
They may even have the
secret to making more,
more puppets, more
elixir and what's more
to the point is they have found
an old master.
Someone I have met before.
He is not to be underestimated.
We must act before they do.
This one's about used up.
No, Sturmbanfuhrer, I
may have some use for him,
if you don't mind.
Not at all, Frau Doktor,
and I see your point
about the other puppets.
What is your plan?
Oberhelfer Steitze!
Yah, Frau Doktor?
Fetch the [speaking
foreign language].
Yah, Frau Doktor.
She has no special power?
No, but she and her
girls have their uses.
Yah.
[ominous music]
[thudding]
France yet again
at Germany's feet.
Seems so natural,
Madame Longpre.
Herr Krabke, Madame Longpre
is one of the world's
preeminent scholars
of the occult
and France's most
renowned psychic.
Is that so?
Yes.
Madame Longpre helped us
locate the two Americans
who were hiding
Toulon's puppets.
She stole the information
right from the mind
of General Hansard, isn't
that right, Madame Antoinette?
Yes, Frau Doktor.
Really?
And how do you keep secrets
from such a creature?
You think she was dangerous?
[chuckles]
My dear Antoinette?
No, not dangerous at all.
A dog who has been trained
properly is not dangerous.
Isn't that right, Antoinette?
Yes, Frau Doktor.
Nothing pleases the
eye more than the sight
of a properly beaten bitch.
Come, Antoinette,
send out your powers.
Search for the puppets.
Where are they?
Who has them?
Seek, Antoinette, seek.
[eerie chime music]
So, upstairs is secure.
What the hell are you doing?
Showing yourself like that
in front of a young girl?
Captain, leave Miss
Vale alone, please.
She's making her own arrangements
to protect the house.
What, by showing off her...
Leave her alone, please.
And I have seen women's
breasts before, Captain,
but thank you for your concern.
You're welcome.
So what is all this?
I found it hidden
in Toulon's trunk.
I believe it is the
scroll of Osiris.
The secret of the
elixir by which
the dead can be dowried life.
Unfortunately, I can't read it.
The hieroglyphics
are too ancient,
unless I use some of this.
This is all we have left
to keep our friends alive.
Our enemies, no
doubt, have even less.
They'll be coming
for this and this,
unless we conceal ourselves.
Okay, so this crowd
thing we're talking about.
Gerde Ernst,
Doktor Gerde Ernst.
Right.
So, her and the rest of them.
They're looking for us and
we're looking for them.
Meanwhile, they're
hiding from us
and we're hiding from them.
You know, back in
the day, my dad
used to call that a stalemate.
Yes, yes, I suppose it is
for now.
She can't read minds Captain,
but she has someone who can.
They'll be searching for us,
for anyone in the city
who's thinking about us,
about this place.
Put this around
your neck, Captain.
What is it?
It's an elder sign.
There are ways to protect
us so long as we stay inside
these walls to shadow us.
These will do the same
when we go outside.
Okay, you say they're
trying to look for us, right?
Why don't we do the same thing?
I mean, use some of
this voodoo stuff
to try to find them.
We spent most of the night
trying without success.
No doubt Frau Ernst has shrouded
their hiding place in much
the same way that we have,
but we do have an advantage.
Magic leaves a
psychic trace behind.
If we can find the
site of sabotage,
Georgina can track
them to their base,
but we need you to find out
where the bombs were planted.
Okay.
I'm on it.
[ominous music]
You like this?
Oh, yah, I like it.
Like it, cupcake.
Close your eyes, big boy,
and I'll give you
a big surprise.
Ah ah, no peeking.
Close those eyes tight.
[chuckling]
[mysterious music]
You can open your eyes now.
[dramatic music]
Ah!
[screaming]
Ah!
[screaming]
Go and get the man.
[bubbling]
[ominous music]
Yes, this time I've got it.
You see?
We can duplicate
the Freuhoffer...
[crashing]
[ominous music]
You were saying, Frau Doktor?
[eerie chime music]
You're up late Captain.
So are you, Miss Ivanov.
Coffee?
No, thanks.
I just had a dream about you.
Oh yeah?
Should I be flattered?
I saw you in the
battle, wounded,
hiding under the bodies
of your comrades,
the Germans firing
into the bodies.
Who told you about that?
I told you, I just
dreamed about it.
That's where you got the scar.
What else?
Nothing.
Is there anything else?
Yeah, I don't suppose
you dreamed about
me being shipped stateside
for combat fatigue,
which is a nice way of
saying I cracked up.
It's nothing to be
ashamed of, Captain.
You tell that to my
friends and the men
who were over there
dying for our country
while I'm sitting here
babysitting a bunch of...
[creaking]
I guess I just
wasn't tough enough.
It's very strange.
What is?
How much you and
my father are alike.
Oh, wow, really?
That just made my day.
Strong men, men
confident in their power,
who've never had
to face a failure.
It's not easy, is it?
My father wouldn't
talk about my mother.
We don't even have
a picture of her.
What happened to her?
We were captured, my
father, my mother and I,
by a special unit of the Gestapo
while my father was
lecturing in Leipzig.
They were looking for the people
with exceptional abilities,
rounding them up.
This woman, she had great
power like my father.
This dreadful woman.
The one that we're
looking for now?
Yeah.
She's quite a fool, really.
She imagines she'll
have a special place
in the new world order.
The Nazis are only using
her and others like her.
If they were to win,
there'd be no place
for people like her, like us.
We're freaks.
[knocking]
[ominous music]
What is it?
Go get your father.
[knocking]
Who is it?
Courier from Central Command.
Let me see your credentials.
[ominous music]
Captain Brooks.
I have your reports
from my department.
[mysterious music]
I've got them.
I've got them.
According to this, the
bomb was planted here.
Substation 212.
What about the
damage, Captain?
Can we get in there?
I don't know.
Corporal.
Well, sir, repair
crews rerouted the juice,
so the whole station shut down.
The thing is, I heard
the feds have been
all over that place and
they didn't find nothin',
so I don't know what you think
you're going to find.
You don't have
to worry, angel.
I'll take care of that.
Yes, ma'am.
Elisa, I wish for
you to remain here.
But Father, I...
Yes, Father.
Chester, Pinhead.
You'll remain here, as well.
You know what Doc?
I think we should
bring the corporal here
with us, as well.
Very well.
Georgina, give
him an elder sign.
What's an elder sign?
Just put it around your neck.
I'll explain later.
Oh, don't bother, sir.
I'm an enlisted man.
[eerie music]
[ominous music]
[creaking]
[gasping]
Captain.
Captain Smith, just
what is that there woman
doing with that chicken foot?
Shhh, she's
searching for a trace
of the ones who
were here before.
If she finds it, we should
be able to follow it, too.
[crackling]
Ah!
Doctor, we must
leave here at once.
[ominous tense music]
[speaking foreign language]
Mein Frau.
Where are they, little man?
Come now, no surprises.
It won't help you.
Bring them out, little man.
[tense music]
Down, make them all
lie down on the floor.
That's better.
You've met my
associate, Frau Doktor,
but I don't believe
we've had the pleasure.
I am Sturmbanfuhrer Krabke.
They say you're very
powerful Herr Ivanov,
and old master.
Was you trying to send
something in my direction?
Some kind of attack?
[chuckling]
Yes, Herr Ivanov, fear can
be a very powerful weapon.
[whimpering]
Those quaint charms.
You're all wearing elder signs.
An effective defense,
but they don't seem
to work against me.
I draw my powers from
a more ancient well.
You know this mark, the
mark of the old gods,
the first gods.
But what you failed
to fight against this,
what need have I of Frau
Gerde and her puppets?
I'll make you all
dance to my strings.
You dare challenge me?
A dwarf!
[speaking foreign language]
[moaning]
Two citizen soldiers.
[moaning]
Should I start with
you, old master?
No, no I don't think so.
I don't think that
would be a fair test.
Little body too weak.
The mind too strong
I'll hunt you
for scientific purposes.
We should choose a
more typical specimen.
You'd like to send them
against me, wouldn't you?
[chuckling]
But I have my own
blades, my own [mumbles],
my own [mumbles].
Here.
[tense music]
Stand up, please.
Kiss my ass, you
kraut son of a...
[slaps]
That's better.
Nice and quiet.
Now, what was I saying?
Oh, yes, I know a man
be driven mad from fear,
but can a man die
from fear alone?
Shall we find out?
[moaning]
So many nerves,
so hard to find them all.
See them, tweak them!
[moaning]
Twisting them.
[speaking foreign language]
[choking]
[dramatic music]
Excellent.
Oh, oh but I'll be tired.
Oh, it would be so much easier
if I didn't have
to control you all.
[tense music]
The scroll.
The scroll of Osiris.
The dwarf.
He was studying it
at this table,
but she doesn't know
where it is now.
[thuds]
I swear, Frau Doktor.
Frau Doktor.
Hmm?
[tense music]
Frau Doktor, I've got it.
No, wait!
[gunshots booming]
[gasping]
Fool.
[mysterious music]
[dramatic music]
[gasping]
[tense music]
These puppets of Toulon's,
they are harder to
control than ours.
Not like the [speaking
foreign language].
Come.
Let's see if the
illustrious Sturmbanfuhrer
has had more luck
finding the father
than we have had here.
[dramatic music]
[tense music]
Anxious to join
your friend, soldier?
But a bit later.
Perhaps I should try a
specimen of the inferior sex.
Und inferior race.
[moaning]
[speaking foreign language]
[tense music]
Ah!
[screaming]
[crackling]
[buzzing]
[wailing]
[dramatic music]
[footsteps clacking]
[Georgina] Have
courage, mon cherie.
She was here.
She leaves her
psychic trace behind.
I can sense it like
the odor of decay.
There's no sign of Elisa.
I searched the whole house.
Yes.
I could feel the emptiness
as soon as we arrived.
They have her.
Gerde and [mumbling] Krabke!
They have her.
They also took Pinhead.
There's no sign of him.
Yes, I know.
Doctor, what are we
going to do about Elisa?
I mean, if they...
Captain, what
can any of us do?
Pray that God gives
us strength to bear
whatever trials He sends us,
if we must.
[tense music]
[Friede] Do you
wish to revive it?
No, there's not enough
elixir for experiments,
though there are possibilities.
Be of good cheer,
Fraulein Steitze.
I am always
cheerful Frau Doktor.
Indeed.
Of course.
The Fuhrer expects
all young German women
to be cheerful at all times.
Does he really?
Indeed, Frau Doktor.
Cheerful and useful.
Well, Oberhelfer
Steitze, you're truly
one remarkable monster.
Thank you, Frau Doktor.
[tense music]
How are you feeling,
Sturmban Freuhoff?
If you [mumbling]
I can let you
experience the pain firsthand.
No, thank you Herr Krabke.
I was just being polite.
You're very
lucky, Frau Doktor.
How so?
My own failure this
evening makes it impossible
for me to condemn you for yours.
Well, it's hardly necessary,
but I won't fail again.
[dramatic music]
[eerie music]
Why don't we just
destroy this thing?
For the last 4,000 years,
Captain, far wiser men
than you or I could have
destroyed this scroll.
If they chose to
preserve it instead,
then perhaps we should
defer to that wisdom.
[muffled radio chattering
in foreign language]
This is the dwarf's daughter?
Yes.
Pretty little bit
of bait, isn't she?
Let's hope she
brings in the big fish.
[tense music]
[gasps]
Welcome fraulein.
[knocking]
[ominous music]
What does it say?
They want the
rest of the elixir,
the puppets, the scroll and me.
In return, Elisa will
be released unharmed.
If not...
You don't believe
them, do you?
Of course not, but
we must do something.
Doctor, look.
[tense music]
It's hair.
Just a single strand.
Not from the woman doctor.
It belongs to the one
who left the message.
Still something I can work with.
And this is something
we can work with
to better protect us all.
[tense music]
[dramatic music]
[groaning]
So, they tell me you
can dream the future, hmm?
[crying]
Did you dream of your own death?
The death of your
freakish father?
All these decadent
cities in flames, hmm?
Yes.
Yes.
I dreamed of cities in flames.
Dresden.
Munich.
Berlin,
the whole damn thousand
years Reich in flames.
Oh, and something else.
I saw bunkers,
stinking old ratty.
A rat called, ah!
Silence!
Herr Krabke!
That is enough.
What did you say?
We need her.
For now, let her be.
Frau Doktor, you
forget yourself.
I am the officer in
charge of this station.
Yes, yes,
Sturmbanfuhrer, of course.
Frau Ernst!
[tense music]
Herr Krabke.
I want you to understand
that I do respect
your exceptional abilities
and I appreciate our
superior's choice
to put you in command
of this station.
[moaning]
You must understand
that rank and title
are not the same as the
aristocracy of nature.
I hope you didn't think
that the scribblings
on your chest would
protect you from me.
They protected you from
Herr Ivanov but not so.
They did not protect
you from his powers,
only from his scruples.
Some weakness in the man
that prevents him from
crushing another man's soul.
You are nothing but a traitor!
If you harm me...
Herr Krabke.
I very much want us to have
a productive relationship
but you must understand
what that relationship is.
[wailing]
You prattle on of old gods,
first gods.
This hand,
it held the first stone knife
that cut the heart out
of the first child,
sacrificed to the first darkness
that crawled up out of the
chaos of the long night.
The darkness that has no name.
The great shadow
that cast you and I
and the Fuhrer
in all the terrible
workings of the world.
[moaning]
I have seen the captives fed
to the flames
at the mighty temples of
Murdoch and I have seen
ten thousands of
heads of the slain
piled at the gates [mumbles].
Oh, the things I have seen.
Come.
[moaning]
Go ahead.
[moaning]
When you have passed through
as many lives as I have,
when you have died as
many deaths as I have,
you will learn
that one has infinite
ways to inflict pain,
and it is the knife to the
soul that cuts the deepest.
Enough.
Herr Krabke, speak,
but choose your words wisely.
Do we understand each other?
Yah, Frau Doktor.
Now go and get
yourself cleaned up.
Our guests will be
arriving any minute.
[tense music]
Are you ready, Fraulein Steitze?
Yah, Frau Doktor.
Any thoughts, Fraulein Steitze
on what just happened between
myself and the Sturmbanfuhrer?
I never involve myself in
disputes of my superiors.
I simply follow orders to
the best of my ability.
[ominous music]
They are protected,
Doctor, like Krabke.
[tense music]
[dramatic music]
[hissing]
Ah!
[screaming]
[dramatic music]
[ominous music]
[mumbling]
Wait.
They know we're here.
[tense music]
Please.
Please.
Please help me.
I'm sorry.
I can't.
There is nothing we can do.
We can't win.
That's not true.
Read my mind, my dream.
Please.
Antoinette!
Yes, Frau Doktor?
Well, where are they?
I don't know.
I can't find them.
They must be enshadowed.
Protected.
Antoinette.
Antoinette, are you lying?
I swear.
I swear I'm not lying.
I'll keep trying.
I'll keep trying.
[tense music]
[gunshots booming]
[dramatic music]
Georgina, get downstairs.
I'll cover you.
So, you did not
know they were here?
I guess some dogs can
never be properly trained.
Weremutt, kill her.
[dramatic music]
[screaming]
[crying]
[clicking]
[gunshots booming]
[thudding]
[moaning]
[dramatic music]
Ah!
[choking]
[Man] You trying to trick me?
No, no, no, please.
[dramatic music]
Now put your head back.
Close your eyes.
Now open your mouth.
Yes, yes.
Now, you are about to be kissed
like you've never
been kissed before.
[tense music]
[choking]
[gunshots booming]
[dramatic music]
Let's get outta here, Doc.
Come on, this way.
[dramatic music]
[gunshots booming]
[tense music]
Is that you, little one?
[chuckling]
[whirring]
[dramatic music]
[screaming]
[speaking foreign language]
Ah!
[dramatic music]
[screaming]
Herr Doctor.
Frau Doktor.
Still struggling to control
mere bits of wood and metal?
There's so much more
to mere wood and metal.
They have souls,
and I've never tried
to control them,
only to guide them.
Yes, that's always
been your weakness.
Not wanting to
tamper with the soul.
It's why you couldn't
save your wife.
It's why you cannot
save your daughter.
[tense music]
Oh.
I'm glad you've come
back, Americana.
[grunts]
I won't kill you, not just yet.
I want you to see what I'm
going to do to the girl.
[grunting]
[ominous music]
Always been one
of your weaknesses.
You care too much.
But to me,
wood, metal,
flesh, spirit,
man, puppet
all the same.
I use them and when I
no longer need them,
I throw them away.
I have no need of armies,
fuhrers,
[speaking foreign language].
They're just layers
of skin that I shed
as I grow ever larger,
lifetime after lifetime.
I know the elixir
is almost gone.
Where is the scroll, little man?
If you cannot read it, I can.
Answer me!
You know which one
of us is stronger.
[tense music]
Very well.
Let's do this
my way.
[chuckling]
[tense music]
Stupid Americana, why
won't you stay down?
That's right.
I'm a stupid American.
[grunting]
You don't know when to quit.
You don't know when to lay down.
We're so dumb, we're
just gonna keep coming
and coming until we roll
over fuckin' Berlin.
[thuds]
Oh!
[screams]
[dramatic music]
[speaking foreign language]
[choking]
[crunching]
Where is the
scroll, little man?
Tell me.
Tell me.
Think of your daughter.
Think of what I'll do to her.
You dare?
Kill him.
Kill him!
I've never tried
to control them,
only to guide them.
[gunshots booming]
[dramatic music]
Enough, my friends.
[whirring]
Please.
[Elisa] Father.
[Ivan] Elisa.
I wasn't frightened, Father.
I knew you would come.
I saw it in my dream.
Thank heavens.
What about Krabke?
Burning in hell, if
there's any justice.
What about uh...
[groaning]
Stay here.
You can't
defeat me.
I'll see you again
in the next life.
I don't think so.
What are you doing?
[dramatic music]
No, no!
No! No!
No! No!
[tense music]
I'm sorry, but she
had to be stopped.
What did you do to her, Doc?
It's a terrible
power I have to reach
into someone's soul,
to create feelings
and desires or to
take them away.
What's left when you
take them all away?
No emotion, no desire,
no hunger, no fear,
no love, no hate.
Wanting nothing,
needing nothing.
Feeling nothing.
Just an empty soul
floating through
time and space forever.
