Operation Finale

BETWEEN 1939 AND 1945, THE NAZIS MURDERED OVER TEN MILLION "ENEMIES" OF THE STATE,

SIX MILLION OF THEM EUROPEAN JEWS.

AT THE END OF THE WAR, HITLER, HIMMLER AND GOERING

ALL ESCAPED JUSTICE BY TAKING THEIR OWN LIVES.

THE REMAINING MASTERMIND OF THE HOLOCAUST VANISHED,

AND WAS NEVER BROUGHT TO TRIAL AT NUREMBERG.

A DECADE LATER, MOST OF THE WORLD HAD STOPPED WONDERING

WHAT BECAME OF THE HEAD OF THE SS "OFFICE OF JEWISH AFFAIRS"...

ADOLF EICHMANN

No.

I'm Lieutenant Dalton. I'm Lieutenant Dalton.

Lieutenant Dalton.

- Herr Werner? - Yes.

I'm Lieutenant Dalton, up from Viden.

We've found a few inconsistencies in our records from your time with us

and we'd appreciate your help clarifying them.

- Thank you so much. - Mm-hmm.

Please.

What do you want from us?

-It's all right. -He didn't do anything to you.

He was a medic.

I don't know what stories he's been telling you,

but we know who he is, Vera.

My name is Annie.

No.

No, your sons Klaus and the other boy, Dieter, they...

Shit! Shit! Moshe!

It's the wrong guy. It's not even him!

So, what?

He was a Nazi.

I bet he was on someone's list.

You gonna give us a hand or what? Come on.

I remember reading years ago

some Austrian they mistook for me.

I have the article framed at home.

I hope that future historians

will not be tempted to stray from the truth as we record it here today.

I could talk of what I saw

at the pits, in Minsk.

Or the vans at Chelmno,

but these were the deeds and demands of others.

I issued no such orders.

Our work was paperwork,

And though I struggled against endless idiocy,

I only did what little I could in Germany's fight against her enemies.

You said you wanted to take a job in Jersey.

Couldn't we run away? I'd do anything to be with you. Anything!

That's not a bad idea.

That's not a bad idea at all.

-Just tell me one thing. -Yes.

Is it true?

Is what true?

Is your mother a nigger?

Tell me.

- Tell me! - What difference does it make?

-You love me. -All the kids talking behind my back.

- Is it true? Are you black? - No!

No, I'm as white as you.

- You're lying. - I'm not!

- You're lying. You are! - I'm not! I'm not!

- So, you're German too? - Well, my father is.

I'd love to meet him sometime. Can I see you again?

Father made us learn 100 Spanish words a day.

-One hundred. -No more, no less.

I was...

I was terrible.

I just wanted to ride horses and explore Tucum?n.

What part of the Fatherland are you from?

We moved all over during the war.

Oh, so your father, he was in the army?

SS, actually.

But he was killed in the East.

Oh, I thought, I thought...

We live with my uncle now, Ricardo. He's, uh...

He's like a father to us.

I'm so sorry, Klaus.

That's awful.

Do you ever think about going back?

To Germany?

Um, I don't know.

I'm told things.

What things?

Oh, the Jews, clawing power back,

taking jobs, corrupting everything, like before.

But, of course, there are plenty of them here too so...

My uncle says they pop up everywhere, like mushrooms after rain.

Mushrooms.

Mushrooms.

A toast.

To your father.

A hero, I'm sure.

Prost!

Tell me, would I recognize his name?

MOSSAD HEADQUARTERS TEL AVIV, ISRAEL

Mr. Harel.

Mr. Harel. Just five minutes.

Herr Harel, please. Sir, this is Herr Fritz Bauer,

he's the District Attorney of Hessen in West Germany.

He says he's found someone.

I have a lead on a great enemy of our people.

I don't have time for this. Rafi, take care of it, okay?

Adolf Eichmann is not just some pencil pusher.

This man deserves to be punished.

You have the word of a blind man.

He doesn't need his eyes to hear the boy's name. Klaus Eichmann.

Why would this girl, Sylvia, date a Nazi's son?

Hermann spent time in Dachau;

he decided to raise Sylvia Catholic.

She didn't know she was Jewish?

No.

Has he broken the bad news to her yet?

Yeah. She insists on seeing him still.

Says she's a good Catholic and the boy is, too.

Okay. Thank you.

Listen, I really appreciate your coming,

but you have to understand. I got Egypt wreaking havoc,

the Fedayeen. Hikers getting killed at Masada.

Our resources are limited.

I can't waste them chasing rumors. I'm sorry.

Think what it means.

Jews finally, publicly, holding to account the man who organized our slaughter.

Organized. Past tense.

It is my job, Herr Bauer,

to focus on those who are planning it today.

Thank you very much for coming.

- Please-- - Thank you very much.

Just give me one second.

Sir?

Let's say he's right.

Can you imagine the headache when he tells the world

that we wouldn't waste our resources on the architect of the Final Solution?

Slowly.

Slowly.

What are you...?

Shall we just stand here?

You're waving at my crotch in a weird way.

Just get in there. Don't be afraid.

I'm not afraid, we're focusing on technique.

Okay, well technically, do it better.

You know why they throw all the shittiest jobs at you, right?

I don't know, antisemitism?

Shall we?

Don't be scared.

Oh!

-Hey. -Hey, Rafi.

- Aharoni, come with me. - You got it.

- Where you going? - Aharoni's got a flight to catch.

I'll call if I need you.

SOLINGEN BEST QUALITY

- Sylvia. - Thank you.

- Klaus, hi. - Hey.

You made it.

-Let me show you through. -Could we go somewhere first?

-I need to tell you something. Okay. -Can we wait? He's about to speak.

Carlos.

- This is Sylvia. - Hello.

My word.

Look at those eyes. Your hair.

Where's your family from?

- Um, I'm... - We're ready for you.

Come.

You see those two?

That's the Deputy Mayor and a member of Parliament.

Who is that man you introduced me to?

Carlos Fuldner. He helped my family settle in Argentina.

Amigos...

our hundred fiftieth Independence Day approaches.

There will be a chance for us to dance,

to drink, for freedom.

But have you noticed the road blocks...

...gunshots,

violence,

every day across Buenos Aires?

Now should be the time to celebrate our national unity,

the iron bond of church and state.

It doesn't decay, amigos.

A rot within our society,

that is forcing us to fight for our beloved and holy patria.

Who can tell me its name?

Jew!

Thank you, Father.

Loyal only to themselves.

The Jew will betray our homeland

and continue poisoning this great nation of Argentina.

So, I ask you.

What should we do with the Jew?

Soap.

Again.

What must we make of the Jew?

Soap!

- Jew! Jew! Jew! - Soap! Soap! Soap!

- Sieg heil! Sieg heil! - Sieg heil! Sieg heil!

- Sieg heil! Sieg heil! Sieg heil! - Sieg heil! Sieg heil! Sieg heil!

- Sieg heil! - Sieg heil!

- Sieg heil! Sieg heil! - Sieg heil! Sieg heil!

Okay. Are you in, or are you out?

- In. - Peter, your turn.

Peter, let's go. Play.

Hey, hey, hey!

Come on, kids.
