Coming to the Fox Box, Saturday mornings. Previously on the OC. Why aren't you out of my house? My mom's kind of a train wreck.
What kind of mother just abandons her child? She has to come back, right? What happens if they don't find her? In the morning I'll take them to child services.
Are you running away? You got a better idea? Where are we? It's one of my mom's housing developments. How much do you need? It's $100,000.
What are you doing with my girlfriend? Kill me and quit talking about it.
This place is on fire! We gotta go! I'm sorry. Ryan Edward, we've got some questions for you. It was an accident. And we've got some questions for you too.
We gotta stop meeting like this. Some good news. Kirsten's company has dropped all arson charges. Which means, pending a probation, you'll be out no problem.
When's that? 30 to 60 days. I could have you out sooner, if I could release you into the care of a parent or a guardian.
He gets to leave? Well, look. According to both of you, the fire was an accident. He's got no priors. He reckons clean.
I may have someone to take him home. Ryan, you know, if I could, it's gonna be okay.
My mom ditched me. I burned your wife's house down. How is this gonna be okay? We'll find your mother. What if we don't? We will do whatever it takes.
I mean, what if I don't want to find her? If only you'd come to me instead of running away. Why, so I could end up in child services and foster care?
You could have died in that fire. Look, you've done more than enough. I can take care of myself. It won't be that different from what's been.
We'll talk again before you're hearing. About your wife. Thanks. Already did.
Get back. Sorry. You ain't now, but you will be.
Thank you, sir.
You want to know the secret to winning? One has to rig the game.
It was supposed to be the perfect crime. I will calmly waltz away with $20 million of cash. You join me and share the sports. Can you dig it? I can dig it.
But there was one thing they didn't plan on. Hell has come out of hiding.
Once upon a time in Mexico. Oh, yeah, it might get a wee bit dangerous there, sugar, but we did our in theaters everywhere. September 12th. My friend came over to surprise me.
She got these new Accu-V2 contact lenses. Does it hurt? Of course I wanted them. We went to the eye doctor and they put them on for me. Yeah, I love them. My vision is perfect. I just feel like this is me.
Accu-V2 contact lenses. With capabilities that will amaze you both on road and off, Ford Explorer is the most trusted SUV in America.
Hey, honey. Sorry I'm late. We took a wrong turn at Greenland. If you haven't looked at Ford lately, look again. Now lashes go sky high.

Now when you go out with someone for the first time, there's this overwhelming feeling of hope.
Can you imagine what will happen if the press gets a hold of this? The DA's son and the pornographer's daughter?
His father is the district attorney. He wants to destroy my business. He wants to ruin our family. She's nothing but trouble. No. You don't know her. You can't tell me not to see him.
Two families divided by ambition and joined by love. You tell your son to keep his filthy hands off my daughter. From executive producer Jerry Bruckheimer.
I just want to run away. Skin. A new series. Mondays, Fox fall.
Now all we need are the ballinis. Can you make mine a double? Wow. You're all set up for your noopsy convention. Hey, when do these vultures land?
Soon. And I'm sure that I have a doily out of place somewhere. Good. Give them something to talk about. I don't know why you have these women over. You don't like them.
I don't. Don't like them. I grew up with these women. They're my oldest friends. Besides, it's for charity. What's on the agenda? What event are you dragging me to this week? Casino night.
You know, this home from the office housewife thing, it's really... Disturbing. Hot. It's disturbingly hot.
Hey. What you doing? Nothing. I'm grounded. Well, you're handling it well. You're lucky you're only grounded.
You gonna see him? Ryan, no. There's nothing I can do for him right now. Yeah? You think he's okay?
Well, there's a reason why I like to try to keep kids out of those places. You just, you can't get him out. You're just not a good enough lawyer. My hands are tied unless we can find his mother.
So then, why can't he stay here? I will not have this conversation again. Rosa, can you make sure that the scones go inside?
Yeah, well, if anything happens to Ryan, then it's all in you, so I just hope he can live with that. What I can't live with is if something was to happen to you because of him.
Like I mean someone who doesn't suck? We are not his parents. I am not his mother. Good thing.
Hey, get back here. Apologize. Ladies. Sandy, hi. How are you? Are you holding up okay, that poor boy? He's locked up, yes?
Yeah, temporarily. Well, nobody blames you for bringing him into the community. You're so trusting, Sandy.
Hey, Julie, their house looks good. I thought you said it burned down. Oh, not this one. One of Kirsten's developments. Luckily, she has so many.
Well, I should be off. Got to find the next kid to jeopardize the community. Maybe a black kid or an Asian kid. Bye, ladies.
How about a Bellini? Yes. Look at this food.
Sorry, Nash. You got a problem? You're disrespecting me? As long as you're here, you best watch out for me, man.
Well, I think it's an absolute embarrassment that the fundraiser is two days away and we still don't have a theme. Well, I thought it was casino night.
I thought it was Monte Carlo night. No, it's Vegas night. See, this is a travesty. It can't be Monte Carlo night. Cotillion is coming up.
I mean, don't you remember our amendment? No two black tie events in the same month. I'll be right back. I have to go check on the thing.
She's been through so much. Her son was friends with that boy.
Where do you think you're going?
What are you doing out here? I'm taking a noosey break. Where are you going? I'm not going anywhere. Seth.
I'm going to Juby to visit Ryan. No, no, you're not. No way. Okay, bye. Seth.
I know that I am not the perfect Carol Brady mom, but I love you and I am trying to protect you. I have dropped all the charges against him.
I have hired somebody to find his mother. What more do you want?
I would like you to go with me. Kirsten. Oh, there you are. We're talking about the bunting. Is acetate okay?
That's great. Okay. Give me 15 minutes to lose the ladies.
Can I try this on? Hey Summer, my dad's home, you know. You say that like it's a bad thing. Oh, gross. Your dad's always home these days. What's up with that?
Hey Luke, it's me. I just wanted to talk. So call me. Um, please. Still hasn't called you back? He wasn't lock up. Maybe he's into dudes now.
God, he loves you. He got in a fight and burnt a house down over you. That's hot. What more do you need? How about talking to me?
I can't get over it. I can't really think you're into that Chino kid. So, how's your mother? Just married.
Marissa, you've got company. Oh my God. Sorry. Hi Summer, I'm Jeff Cohen. I live right next door.
What's up? Uh, what? Yes, what is up? Uh, I'm going over to Ryan. I thought, you know, maybe you'd like to come. I'm sure he'd love to see you.
Uh, what's that Seth? Did you say you need a ride to a Star Wars convention?
The Star Wars convention? I'm sorry, her top was off. You couldn't have at least sent X-Men for me.
Look, I can't go with you. I can't see Ryan. I mean, Luke's not talking to me as it is.
What? Ryan's in jail. I thought we're all friends and- It's just, it's too complicated.
To visit him? I can't, okay? Yeah, fine. I'm over it.
Let's just make this quick, okay?
Hey, what happened to your neck? Nothing. You okay? Great.
Some side of the plan didn't work. I thought I had it figured out. I thought you were safe. What's wrong? Hey, what's the matter, huh? Give me a smile.
So, Marissa seemed pretty weird when I tried to talk to her. What happened between you guys?
You got a nice swerve on you, lady. You fine. Hey, leave her alone. Ryan, it's okay.
Are you joking? Is this your little honey? Come here, bitch. I want to get a good look at you. Seth, let's go now.
I don't need like two minutes. Leave her alone. Seth, now. What you gonna do about it?
I'm gonna kill you. You're dead. You're dead.
Seth, what did we say? No video games. Oh.
I never knew you to be an impulse shopper. I didn't know what else to do. Did you tell him it was permanent? No, of course not.
Because we can't keep jerking this kid around, pulling him out of juvie, sending him to the foster care, giving him hope and taking it away.
They were gonna kill him in that place, Sandy. He couldn't stay there. But he can't stay here. We've got to find his mother.
He doesn't want to find her. He's a kid. He doesn't know what he wants. So I guess I won't unpack.
Everybody comes to Hollywood. They want to make it in the neighborhood. I got a fresh kick, thick hips, best believe me, I'm Madonna, about to hurt them like a tag team. You gonna love us and I got jeans. We walk by, people ask, where you get them jeans?

Yeah, Q.

Hey.
Help yourself to a wide assortment of breakfast cereals.
So, Ryan, what, uh, what exactly happened that night with Marissa before Luke showed up?
She came to see me.
And?
And I told her to leave.
You asked her to leave. That's it. You two are up there all alone and you expect me to believe that...
I thought I was taking off in the morning. It didn't seem right.
Well, I mean, you're still here. She lives next door. I don't know.
I said some things, so now's your chance to take it back.
Hey. I'm off. They're waiting for me in the ballroom.
Those ladies can't do anything unless I'm there. Hey, you should come. It'll be fun.
Well, not fun, but it's for charity.
No thanks.
Marissa, honey, enough moping.
Very sweet that you're so concerned about this boy, but he's in the system now.
He's being taken care of.
And he's not your responsibility because he's in love with you.
He's not in love with me.
Why not? He thinks he's too good for you?
Actually, he thinks I'm too good for him.
Well, he's right. But that's the past.
And you need to focus on the future.
Which means, Luke, you've invested so much with Luke, honey.
Your relationship has too much potential to be squandered by some silly misunderstanding.
So I want you to finish your hair, put on a nice top, and please come join me at the club.
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
Thanks, Mom.
That's what I'm here for.
I have to make some calls, so if you could finish up in the kitchen, that would be terrific.
Where are you going?
Oh, I got an early court date, and I'm in and out of the office.
I have to set up for casino night. What about Ryan?
I got two calls in on the private investigator about his mother.
Yeah, but what am I supposed to do with him?
I'll take him with you. Spend some time together.
With all those women there?
Sure. They'll love him.
Yes, ma'am.
Oh, hi, Julie.
Kirsten. Seth.
Julie, this is Ryan.
I'm Julie Cooper. Heard so much about you.
Nice to meet you, too.
There he is.
Hey.
Hi, Luke.
Oh, hi, Luke. Thanks for coming.
Yeah, you know, anything I can do to help, you know, make amends for what happened.
Luke, it's good to see you.
Uh, Ryan, I forgot that he was coming. If you want to...
No, I'm here. How can I help?
Well, now that we have our big, strong, strapping men, time for heavy lifting.
Hey. I was hoping maybe we could talk.
Which one of us did you want to talk to?
Luke, come on.
I'm sorry. I feel like ever since I've gotten here, I've screwed everything up.
No, I'm sorry. It's my fault.
I mean, I never should have left Luke to see you that night.
And those things you said before...
I didn't... What did I say?
You were right.
We're from two different worlds.
I'm glad you're okay.
Okay.
What happened up at that house?
I don't want to hear about it, all right?
You and I have nothing to say to each other.
I don't know who you are or what you're doing here.
All I know is you and Luke are just crazy for each other.
But we need to talk.
Okay.
We need to talk.
Okay?
I'm sorry, Luke.
I don't know who you are or what you're doing here.
All I know is you and me, we're done.
Okay, boys, uh, Ryan, why don't you come with me?
New project.
Thank you.
How dare they?
This boy is violent. He's a menace.
I mean, they may forgive and forget, but I don't.
Who's to say you won't do it again?
You're right. You are right.
All I know is that the police are taking criminals off the street
and Sandy Cohen is putting them in my backyard.
How did she put up with it?
Who, Kirsten?
She's never home. She's always working, building her empire, whoever.
I feel sorry for her.
Dr. Phil did a show on mothers who avoid their home lives by becoming workaholics.
So sad.
I just hope she has evolved and she keeps her jewels locked up.
She has some very expensive brooches. Did you see?
Hey, ladies. Care if I join you?
Oof.
You mind?
So?
I couldn't help it over here.
I...
Well, I hope that you're not...
Mad? Offended? No.
I am disappointed.
And frankly, I'm a little surprised.
This is supposed to be a community that welcomes outsiders.
I mean, me, I'm all the way from the Bronx and...
You're from, from what? Riverside, right?
Which is not that different, really, from where Ryan's from.
Excuse me a minute.
Hello.
Yeah. Dawn. That's her.
Uh-huh.
Good job.
Okay. Bye.
Thanks for the muffin.
Can I have a napkin? Now.
What am I supposed to do with 120,000 pounds of concrete?
Get a new mixer.
Just call me when you know.
What do you do, exactly?
Real estate or construction? Dude, don't ask.
I tried to explain it to Seth once,
and he fell asleep halfway through.
Okay, but, uh...
Yeah, it's pretty much true.
Try me.
My dad is in real estate development.
He owns the Newport Group.
Wow. I guess both the mall, civic auditorium,
baseball stadium, something like that.
And I'm in charge of residential development.
So you deal with the contractors, the architects,
planning and zoning commission.
How'd you know?
I worked construction a couple summers.
And I used to want to be an architect.
And what do you want to be now?
17.
Me too.
Hey, I heard you were setting up at the, um...
You will not believe what Sandy Cohen said to me.
He basically called me white trash.
He said I was from Riverside.
Honey, you are from Riverside.
It was his tone.
Compare me to that boy who started the fire
and to bring him to our function, Kirsten is out of control.
What, she thinks the rules don't apply to her?
Now, I know you were young,
but how you ever dated that woman I will never understand.
I have half a mind to call her and tell her...
Leave Kirsten alone.
She's the one paying our bills.
What are you talking about?
You know, that problem I was having at work,
well, she solved it.
You went to Kirsten for a handout?
Jimmy, how do you think this makes us look?
I wouldn't really call it a handout.
Oh, really, what would you call it?
$100,000.
That machine, it might change.
Okay, okay.
That one's always broken.
Here you go, try the next one over.
Dawn Atwood.
Sandy Cohen, Ryan's attorney.
I'd love to talk to you.
I can't talk.
Stupid thing's stuck.
It'll only take a couple of minutes.
Damn it!
How is he?
Why don't we grab a cup of coffee and talk about it?
There's some great historical homes in the area.
We can always go on an architectural tour.
Yeah, I think you're awesome.
Yeah, I'd like that.
You all right?

How could you do this to me?
On its new night, Friday, September 19th on Fox.
Thank you, Rosa.
Uh, thanks.
No, thank you, Rosa.
So Dawn, how long have you been working at the laundromat?
Um, not long.
Just a couple weeks.
What happened to the restaurant?
Um, they were making cutbacks.
You got fired.
Well, it was for the best.
They had rats.
Cockroaches.
Disgusting.
You seen Trey?
Uh, I went to visit him at the prison.
He wouldn't see me.
Where are you living these days?
With friends.
I'm between places right now.
Why don't you stay here tonight?
What about AJ?
Um, no.
I broke up with him.
We're through.
No more.
I-I put up with too much.
He laid his hands on me and Ryan too many times.
Mom.
What?
I-I'm just saying, he was a bad influence, you know.
All this drinking and-
Because AJ was a problem.
Hey, I haven't touched a drop since I dumped his sorry ass last week.
I used to bring into the house this whole coke thing.
Where are you going?
It's bad enough living through it the first time.
Ryan, wait, sweetie.
Uh, sorry.
Will, at least talk to me.
What are you even doing here?
I-I came for you.
Why? What do you want from me?
I have to note.
I know.
Okay, let me explain.
You abandoned me.
You threw me out.
You just took off.
I know, honey.
I was...
And AJ and the drinking and...
It's gonna be different now.
That's what you said when we moved from Fresno after Dad got arrested.
I'm gonna be different now.
We have a chance to start over, babe.
We've never had people like them, you know, who wanted to help us.
Right.
So someone offers you a nice place to stay,
and suddenly you're all about the mom thing.
I didn't know what I was doing when I married your dad.
I was too young when I had your brother.
But with you...
You know, we're always a smart one, you know?
The good one.
When you got arrested...
I mean, well, I'd failed, and...
You weren't my last hope.
I should go.
Wait.
You ever gonna forgive me, kiddo?
Let's just go slow, huh?
Okay.
Whatever you want.
I'm not gonna lose you again.
So where'd they go, anyways?
I don't know. Out.
All right, so we'll just wait for happy hour to end, and...
Seth, we need to be supportive. She seems like she's trying.
Yeah, but how do you know?
I mean, this woman abandoned him, and now all she has to do is show up?
Come on, she should be the one that's on probation, not Ryan.
What do you want me to do, invite her to stay so we can keep an eye on her?
Yes, that is exactly what I want you to do.
What a beautiful walk.
The water's so warm, not the Ryan would know.
You used to love going in the water.
Not with all my clothes on.
I'm an embarrassment to my son. Welcome to my world.
Well, we should probably head out soon.
Actually, I was thinking.
You just got here, you have nowhere to stay,
and we're all just getting to know each other.
Remember not. Party tonight.
Right. Not for me, but thanks, though.
Vegas night.
Vegas, huh?
Oh, it's very kind of you to offer, but I don't have anything to wear.
Oh, we'll find something.
Hey.
Hey, Kirsten does the same thing.
Washes the dishes before putting them in the dishwasher.
I never know whether they're clean or dirty.
We never had a dishwasher.
So how's everything going?
Okay, I guess.
We had a good day.
You know, you being with your mother doesn't mean we're not gonna still see each other.
She really likes it here.
She talked about finding someplace small nearby.
In the numbered streets.
So how do I look?
Are there parties like this?
Pretty much.
Well, let's clean them out, kid.
Kirsten.
Excuse me.
Another perfect event.
So, business is good?
Yeah, it's good.
I love your dress.
You do.
It's yours.
Hey.
Hi.
Nice to see you.
Yeah.
Would you like a drink?
I'd love one.
Okay.
It's fabulous.
Just fabulous.
Oh, thank you.
How much did you get for the hug?
That kind of big, Mom?
It's for charity.
Besides, the count's way past if.
You're counting?
It's not a single duck.
Oh, honey, if I teach you anything in this world,
the count goes way higher with multiple ducks.
Lacta.
Oh.
Ooh.
See, honey?
The luck's turned around already.
That's beautiful.
I totally do.
What do you think you want?
Excuse me.
Tonic water lime juice?
My boy.
Lucky for him, he's got my brains.
Go.
Have fun with your friend.
I'll be fine.
You don't have to babysit me.
Hi.
So is that your mom?
Yeah.
She came back, so I guess that means you're going home.
Yeah, I guess.
Well, good luck with everything.
You too.
Have a nice life.
Go.
Hi, Summer.
Seth Cohen.
I'm superstitious.
Blow on these.
Blow.
Oh!
Do it again.
You're not going anywhere, Sid.
Seth.
Whatever.
OK.
Blow.
You can't just not talk to me.
Watch me.
It's not like you're totally innocent in all this.
I mean, you didn't have to attack him.
What was I supposed to do?
You left me to go up there for him.
It's not like that.
It was a mistake.
Hell yeah.
Hi, Sandy.
Hey, Julie.
I came to apologize and say thank you.
The check that you guys gave to me.
You never know who your friends are until you're in need.
And we needed that hundred grand.
It's our pleasure.
You can't take it with you.
Hey.
What do you want?
Nothing happened.
What's with Marissa and me?
I don't want to talk about it.
She chose you.
You're the one she wants.
Can I get a seven and seven, please?
Nerves.
Tough game of poker.
Thank you.

Sandy Cohen had no idea Kirsten wrote you that check.
Imagine being so rich you don't tell your husband you're giving away $100,000.
All right, you know what?
Who needs chips? You got Kirsten.
What did you say to her?
They don't even care how this makes me feel that you went to her.
I didn't have any choice. You didn't want to talk about it.
I was trying to save us. Our family was in trouble.
Looks like we're not the only ones.
$100,000? This is more than I make in a year.
It's just a loan of my money.
It's not the money. It's that you never told me.
I know. I don't know why.
I got a couple of ideas.
Let me take you on a little journey through my neuroses for the past hour or so.
Sandy, I promise it was just a loan. There's nothing more to it.
He was in trouble. There was no one else he could tell.
So what's your excuse?
Sandy, I don't know what Julie said to you.
I'm trying to have a private conversation with my wife.
Two Mountain Dews, my good man. Thank you, Ryan. Greatest night ever.
It's like one of those nights when the stars and the cosmos and the moon align.
And it's just like, wow, thank you. How's your mom doing?
Hi, Roland. She was made for this place.
Yeah? Well, then maybe this could work.
Yeah. Maybe. Rabbit's foot. Vominos.
By the end of the night, she might know my first name. Duty calls.
Look, I'm sorry.
Oh.
Hold up.
Oh, God.
What the hell is your problem?
What's my problem? What's your problem?
Back off.
Ryan, I must have tripped. It's these damn shoes.
Oops. Hello.
Here, good luck.
Dude, that lady is wasted.
I bet you can bang her.
Hey, shut up.
Why don't you just quit staring and help me up, okay?
Get me up. Help me up.
Finally. Gee.
Hey, why don't you go get the car?
Wait, maybe you had one too many?
What? What are you looking at?
Where's Ryan? Ryan?
Thanks, man. I'm right here, Mom.
Ryan, honey, I'm so sorry. I ruined it, huh?
It's okay. We're almost there.
No, no, you know I ruined everything, huh?
You hate me.
No, I don't. I love you, Mom.
It's okay, everyone. It's just a little accident.
She's with us.
You mind?
Um.
So, you caught me.
You can't do this. You're his mother.
I'm a mess, not a mother.
You have a responsibility.
I'm being responsible.
I'm not wired for this.
I can't care for anybody else.
I don't have what you got.
The way your husband looks at you.
Your kid looks at you.
Even my kid.
Like, no matter what, you're gonna make everything okay.
You hold your family together.
I tear mine apart.
You can't walk away.
Why?
This will be the first good thing I ever did for him.
And this way, he ends up with a real mom.
Take care of him, okay?
He deserves it.
Thanks.
Thank you.
Hey.
Where's, uh...
Ryan's gonna stay with us now.
That's awesome.
I mean, that's awesome, right?
But let's go, um, let's go talk about stuff.
Come on.
I'll unpack later.
Well, there's a no return policy now, you know that.

This is Fox 9 News Now.
Terrorists take aim in the Middle East.
Suicide bombers launch deadly attacks in Baghdad and in Jerusalem.
Tonight, America reacts.
The flames are out.
Tell me what to do with my life.
Herr Janning, you must stand with us.
It is not good for Germans to turn on one another.
We have a common ground now.
Listen to me, Herr Hahn.
There have been terrible things that have happened to me in my life.
But the worst thing that has ever happened is to find myself in the company of men like you.
I have nothing in common with you and party hacks like you.
You have something in common.
You were part of that same regime.
You stood by that regime the same as the rest of us.
And there's something else you have in common.
You are a German.
Good evening.
Did you like it?
Oh, yes, I did.
I did.
Very much indeed.
Can I drop you?
I only live a few blocks from here.
I was going to walk.
Would you like to go for a walk?
Yes, yes, I would.
I won't need the car now.
I'll walk with Mrs. Berthold.
You want me to wait for you?
No, no, I won't do this.
I'll wait for you, Your Honor.
The German people love to sing, no matter what the situation.
I've noticed that.
Do American people sing in bars, too?
I have forgotten.
No, we have to be pretty sullen in bars.
I wish you understood German.
The words are very beautiful, very sad, much sadder than the English words.

Under the lantern, with you, Mini Marlene.
What is your life like in America?
Do you have a family?
Yes, I have a daughter and she has four children.
Four?
You must be very proud of them.
Yes, I am, I admit it.
And where's your wife?
She died a few years ago.
Cigarette?
How about you, do you have children?
No, I don't.
What is your position in America?
It must be important.
No it isn't really, I'm a district court judge.
I haven't even been out for the last year.
Are you retired?
Forcibly, by the electorate.
You elect judges in the United States?
Yes, in some states.
I didn't know that.
Well, it's either one of the virtues or one of the defects of our judiciary system.
I thought it was one of the virtues until the last year when I was defeated.
I'm sure it was the fault of the electorate, not yours.
There seems to be some difference of opinion about that.
This is where I live.
Here?
Yes, it's not so bad inside.
Would you like to come up?
I could make some coffee.
Yes, thank you.
Things haven't been very easy for you, have they?
I'm not used to them being easy.
I'm not fragile, Judge Heywood.
I'm a daughter of the military.
You know what that means, don't you?
No, I'm afraid I don't.
It means I was taught discipline, a very special kind of discipline.
For instance, when I was a child, we used to go for long rides into the country in summertime.
But I was never allowed to run to the lemonade stand with the others.
I was told, control your thirst, control hunger, control emotion, they served me well.
And your husband, was he of that heritage too?
My husband was a soldier.
He was brought up to do one thing, to fight in the battle and fight well.
Is the coffee all right?
Fine, thank you.
It says that, but I always try to make it strong.
It's fine.
I'm curious.
What do you think of Ernst Janning?
Mrs. Bergold, I really am not at liberty to discuss the case outside of the courtroom.
Oh yes, of course.
I knew Ernst Janning a little, we used to attend the same concerts.
I remember there was a reception given for Wagner's daughter-in-law, Hitler was there.
Ernst Janning was there with his wife.
She was very beautiful, very small, very delicate, she's dead now.
Wagner was quite taken with her, he made advances towards her during the reception, he used
to do things like that in a burst of emotion.
I will never forget the way Ernst Janning cut him down.
I don't think anybody ever did it to him quite that way, he said, Chancellor, I do not object
so much that you are so ill-mannered, I do not object to that so much.
I object that you are such a bourgeois, Hitler whitened, stared at Janning and walked out.
Is the coffee really all right?
Fine, thank you.
Men like Janning, my husband and I, we hated Hitler, I want you to know that, and he hated
us.
He hated my husband because he was a real war hero, and the little corporal couldn't
tolerate that, and he hated him because he married into nobility, which was my family.
Hitler wasn't all of the nobility, but he hated it.
That's why it's so ironic what happened.
You know what happened to my husband, don't you?
What did he know of the crimes they cited him for?
He was placed on trial with the other military leaders.
It was part of the revenge the victors always take on the vanquished.
It was political murder.
You can see that, can't you?
Mrs. Bertolt, I don't know what I see.
I probably shouldn't be here talking with you about this at all, but I want to understand.
I do want to understand.
I have to.
Would you like some more coffee?
Yes, thank you.
Hi.
We found Irene Hoffman.
Where?
Berlin.
Berlin, huh?
She got married.
Her name is Wallner now.
That's why we had difficulty locating her.
When's she coming?
She's not coming.
What do you mean, she's not coming?
She doesn't want to come.
You know what it's like.
I don't even want to testify anymore.
If I can't submit tonight, I could make it to Berlin, be back by tomorrow afternoon.
Tad, you haven't had any sleep until tomorrow.
It'll be worth it if I can get Hoffman.
Take over for me in court in the morning, will you?
Yes, sir.
Colonel, please, I have told you this before when you first came in.
I say it again now.
We are through with all this.
She does not have to go.
You have no right to order her to go.
Mr. Vollner, I'm not ordering her to go.
I have no authority to order her to go.
Do you think we get a medal for appearing at these trials?
The people do not like them.
They do not believe the Germans should testify against other Germans.
Look, look, I haven't been prosecuting these cases for the past two years without knowing
that.
It is easy for you to say go.
After the trials, you will go back to America, but we must stay here and live with these
people.
Don't you think I realize what I'm asking?
Then how can you come in here like a Gestapo man at the middle of the night?
Because they must not be allowed to get away with what they did.
You really think they won't get away with it in the end?
I say the hell with them and the hell with you.
Hugo.
Emil Pahn, will you be there?
Yes, in the dock.
I'll be there in a moment, Johnny.
Yes.
You saw the store downstairs.
It's not much, but it's a new start for us.
They will come if I go to them back.
They will come and break the windows of the store.
I'll place a guard in front of the store 24 hours a day.
You do not have to go, Irene.
He has no right to ask you to go.
You do have to go.
You have to go for all those people who can't get up there on the stand themselves.
You do not owe it to anybody, Irene.
Yes, you do.
You do not owe it to anybody.
You owe it.
You owe it to one person, at least.
In the night, every night, we've known somehow it would come to this.
Dr. Goethe, do you recognize that headline?
Yes, sir.
Would you read it to the tribunal?
Death to the Rastafiler.
In what newspaper did it appear?
Jürgen Streicher, Der Stürmer.
What was it in connection with?
The Feldenstein case.
What was the Feldenstein case?
Your Honor, the defense objects to introduction of the Feldenstein case.
It is a notorious case, perhaps the most notorious of the period.
It has overtones and appears to a motion that would perhaps be best not raised.
There are no issues or overtones that may not be raised in this courtroom.
The tribunal is interested in everything that is relevant.
The objection is overruled.
It's all right, I'll take it.
May it please the tribunal?
You may continue.
Thank you.
Now, what was the Feldenstein case?
The case of a man accused of racial pollution.
Will you explain what is meant by racial pollution?
This is the charge that is referred to in the Nuremberg laws.
It says that any non-arium having sexual relations with anarium may be punished by death.
When did you first become acquainted with the Feldenstein case?
In September 1935, I was contacted by the police.
They said that Mr. Feldenstein was being held and that he requested that I serve as his
counselor.
What position did he hold in the community?
He was a very well-known merchant.
He was one of the heads of the Jewish congregation in Nuremberg.
What was the nature of the charge against him?
He was accused of having intimate relations with a 16-year-old girl, Irene Hoffman.
I see.
And what did he say to you about the case?
He said it was false.
He said he knew the girl and her family a long time.
He had gone to visit her since they died, but there had never been anything of the kind
charged between them.
Now, Doctor, would you please tell the tribunal what happened then?
He was indicted before the special court at Nuremberg.
And where was this special court?
It was right here, this building.
This very courtroom.
Dr. Goethe, what were the circumstances surrounding the trial?
It was used as a show place for national socialism.
This was the time of the September celebrations, the Nuremberg rallies.
The courtroom was crowded.
Back there, people were standing up.
Julius Streicher was sitting in one of the front seats.
And high officials of the Nazi party were all over.
Doctor, would you please tell us what were your expectations for the trial in this climate?
I expected the worst when I saw that Emil Hahn was the public prosecutor.
He was a fanatic.
His trials were always marked by extreme brutality.
But I had one hope for the outcome, because sitting on the judge's bench was Hans Janning.
His reputation was known throughout Germany.
He was known to have dedicated his life to justice, to the concept of justice.
Thank you.
That's all.
Any questions?
Thank you.
No questions.
The witness is excused.
And calls to the stand, Irene Hoffman-Valner.
Would you raise your right hand?
I swear by God the Almighty and Omniscient that I will speak the pure truth and withhold
and add nothing.
I do.
Will you please state your name to the tribunal?
Irene Hoffman-Valner.
Mrs. Valner, did you know Lehmann Feldenstein?
Yes.
When did you first meet him?
It was 1925 or 1926.
I am not sure exactly.
How old was he at this time?
He was in his fifties.
And how old was he at the time of his arrest?
He was sixty-five.
I see.
What was the nature of your relationship?
We were friends.
Did you continue to see him after your parents died?
Yes.
Why?
We were friends.
He owned the building that I lived in.
His business took him there quite often.
Now what did you say to the police when they questioned you about having intimate relations
with him?
I told them it was a lie.
Could you tell me who the public prosecutor was?
Emil Hahn.
Did Emil Hahn question you?
Yes.
What did he say to you?
He took me into a separate room where we were alone.
He told me that it was no use to repeat my story because no one would believe me.
There had been a race department and the only pardon for this was to kill the violator.
He told me that if I protected Mr. Feldstein that I would be held under arrest for perjury.
What did you reply to him?
I told him what I had said again and again.
I told him that I could not say anything else.
I could not lie about someone who had been so kind to me.
Were you held under arrest?
Yes.
Mrs. Volner, tell us, what was the manner in which Emil Hahn conducted the prosecution?
He made a mockery of everything Mr. Feldstein tried to say in his own defense.
He held him up to ridicule whenever possible.
What was the reaction of the audience?
They laughed again and again.
How long did the trial last?
Mrs. Volner, how long did the trial last?
Two days.
Was the verdict passed at the end of the second day?
Yes.
What was the verdict?
Guilty.
And what was the sentence?
Mr. Feldstein was sentenced to be executed.
I was sentenced to be imprisoned for two years for perjury.
Who was the presiding judge?
That's Johnnie.
Were the sentences carried out?
Thank you very much, Mrs. Volner.
That's all.
Any questions?
Your Honor, I would like to request that the witness be kept available.
We'll present further evidence on the Feldstein matter when it comes time for the defense
to present its case.
The witness will please hold herself so available.
You may go.
You're excused now.
Colonel Lawson?
Yes.
Colonel Lawson?
Your Honor, I offer in evidence a decree signed by Adolf Hitler directing that all persons
accused or suspected of disloyalty or resistance of any sort might be arrested secretly with
no notice to friends or relatives without any trial whatsoever and put into concentration
camps.
I also offer a group of orders issued under that decree, each one signed by one of the
defendants by which hundreds of persons were arrested and placed in concentration camps.
Signed by Friedrich Hofstetter, Werner Lampe, Emil Hahn, Ernst Janning.
Your Honors, the defendants on trial here today did not personally administer to concentration
camps.
They never had to beat victims or pull the lever that released gas into the chambers.
But as the documents we've introduced into this case have shown, these defendants fashioned
and executed laws and rendered judgments which sent millions of victims to their destinations.
Major Adnock.
Your Honors, I would like to request that Colonel Lawson be sworn in as a witness.
Granted.
Thank you.
Will you raise your right hand?
I swear by God the Almighty and Omniscient that I will speak the pure truth and withhold
an Adnock.
I do.
Were you active in the United States Army in 1945 at the close of the war?
Yes, I was.
Were you in command of troops liberating concentration camps?
I was.
Were you in Dachau and Belson?
Yes.
Were you present when the films we are about to see were taken?
Yes, I was.
I was present when the films we are about to see were taken?
Okay.
The map shows the number of and location of concentration camps under the 3rd Rec.
Buchenwald concentration camp was founded in 1933.
Its inmates numbered about 80,000.
There was a motto at Buchenwald, break the body, break the spirit, break the heart.
Three ovens of Buchenwald, evidence of last minute efforts to dispose of bodies.
The stoves were manufactured by a well-known company which also specialized in baking ovens.
The name of the firm is clearly inscribed, an exhibit of byproducts of Buchenwald displayed
for the local townspeople by an allied officer.
Brushes of every description, shoes, adults and children, spectacles, gold from teeth
melted down, sent once a month to the medical department of the Laffen SS, a lampshade made
from human skin, skin being used for paintings, many having an obscene nature.
The heads of two Polish laborers shrunken to one-fifth their normal size, a human pelvis
used as an ashtray.
Children who'd been tattooed to mark them for eventual extermination.
Sometimes mercy was shown to the children.
They were injected with morphia so they'd be unconscious when hanged.
One of the doctors described how they'd then place ropes around their necks and in the
doctors' own words, like pictures, they were then hanged by hooks on the walls.
The bodies of those who'd come in boxcars without food, without air, who hadn't survived
the journey to Dachau.
Tins of inmates were used as human guinea pigs for atrocious medical experiments.
A witness at one of the executions at Dachau gave the following description.
Inmates were made to leave their clothing on a rack.
They were told they were going to take baths.
Then the doors were locked.
Tins of cyclone B were released through the specially constructed apertures.
You could hear the groaning and the whimpering inside.
After two or three minutes, all was quiet.
Death transports that had arrived included 90,000 from Slovakia, 65,000 from Greece,
11,000 from France, 90,000 from Holland, 400,000 from Hungary, 250,000 from Poland and Upper
Silesia, and 100,000 from Germany.
And this is what was filmed when British troops liberated Belsen concentration camp.
For sanitary reasons, a British bulldozer had to bury the bodies as quickly as possible.
Who were the bodies?
Members of every occupied country of Europe, two-thirds of the Jews of Europe exterminated.
More than six million, according to reports from the Nazis' own figures.
But the real figure, no one knows.
How dare they show us those films?
How dare they?
We are not executioners, we are judges.
You do not think it was like that, do you?
There were executions, yes, but nothing like that, nothing at all.
Paul, Paul, you ran those concentration camps, you and Eichmann.
They say we killed millions of people, millions of people.
How could it be possible?
Tell them, how could it be possible?
How?
You mean technically?
It all depends on your facilities.
Say you have two chambers to accommodate 2,000 people apiece.
Figure it out.
It's possible to get rid of 10,000 in a half hour.
You don't even need guards to do it.
You can tell them they're going to take a shower,
and then instead of the water, you turn on the gas.
It's not the cooling that is the problem.
It's disposing of the bodies.
That's the problem.
This is beautiful, wonderful, beautiful what you do.
What you do in love.
And at night flies a whispering flame.
Ach, Herr Weiler, du bist ja so schön.
Doch die Liebe bleibt nur, wo sie ist.
Wenn man immer aufs Neue sich küsst.
Und so lebt es.
I'm sorry I'm late.
I was doing some work for the rebuilding committee.
And I brought you some folders so we can decide what you should see next.
There's the Albert Steurer house and the museum.
When do you think you would make it?
Oh, any time.
Would you like to order now?
What would you like?
Can I help you with the menu?
No, I don't think I'll have anything.
A glass of water for me, please.
A mozza.
What is the matter?
Nothing.
I'm just not hungry, that's all.
You know, it's the last few days have meant a great deal to me.
How?
Well, I don't think you realized what a provincial man I really am.
I've been abroad just exactly once before this.
That was when I was a doughboy in World War I.
I used to pass places like this and wonder what they were like.
They have meant a great deal to me, too.
How?
They gave me back the feeling I had of the Americans.
The feeling I used to have when I was in your country.
It's too bad this isn't a magazine story.
Why?
Well, if it were a magazine story, two people like us, a rapidly aging jurist...
Why now?
The rapidly aging jurist and the beautiful widow will transcend their difficulties
and travel whence is either by land or by sea.
I saw Mr. Perkins today.
He told me that he showed those pictures in the courtroom.
Colonel Lawson's favorite pictures.
He drags them out at any pretext, doesn't he?
Colonel Lawson's private chamber of horrors.
Is that what you think we are?
Do you think we knew all those things?
Do you think we wanted to murder women and children?
Do you believe that?
Do you?
Mrs. Berthold, I don't know what to believe.
Good God, we are sitting here drinking.
How could you think that we knew?
We did not know.
As far as I can make out, no one in this country knows.
Mrs. Berthold, your husband was one of the heads of the army.
And he did not know. I tell you he did not know.
It was Himmler, it was Goebbels.
The SS knew what happened. We did not know.
Listen to me.
There are things that happened on both sides.
My husband was a military man all his life.
He was entitled to a soldier's death. He asked for that.
I tried to get that for him.
Just that, that he would die with some honor.
I went from official to official. I begged for that. I begged for that.
That he should be permitted the dignity of a firing squad.
You know what happened.
He was hanging with the others.
And after that, I knew what it was to hate.
I never left the house, I never left the room. I drank.
I hated with every fiber of my being, I hated every American I've ever known.
But one can't live with hate. I know that.
And we have to forget.
We have to go on living.
Now roll.
May it please the tribunal.
Yesterday the tribunal witnessed some films.
There were shocking films, devastating films.
As a German, I feel ashamed that such things could have taken place in my country.
There can never be a justification for them.
Not in generations, not in centuries.
But I do think it was wrong, indecent and terribly unfair of the prosecution
to show such films in this case, in this court, at this time, against these defendants.
And I cannot protest too strongly against such tactics.
What is the prosecution trying to prove?
Is he trying to prove that the German people are all very responsible for these events?
Or that they were even aware of them?
Because if he is, he's not stating facts.
But he knows he's not.
The secrecy of the operations, the geographical location of the camps,
the breakdown of communications in the last days of the war,
when the exterminations rose into the millions,
show only too clearly that he is not telling the truth.
The truth is that these brutalities were brought about by the few extremists, the criminals.
Very few Germans knew what was going on, very few.
None of us knew what was happening.
The place is shown in these films.
None of us!
The most ironic part of it is that the prosecution showed these films against these defendants.
A man who stayed in power for one reason only, to prevent worse things from happening.
Who is the braver man?
The man who escapes or resigns in times of peril?
Or the man who stays on his post at the risk of his own personal safety?
The defense will present witnesses and letters and documents from religious and political refugees all over the world,
telling how Ernst Janning saved them from execution.
The defense will show the many times Ernst Janning was able to affect mitigation of sentences,
when without his influence the results would have been much worse.
The defense will show that Ernst Janning's personal physician was a non-Aryan,
a Jewish man, who he kept in attendance much to his own peril.
The defense presents affidavits from legal authorities and famed jurists the world over,
pleading that special considerations must be made in this case,
saying that the entire work of Ernst Janning was inspired by one motive and one motive only,
the endeavor to preserve justice and the concept of justice.
Now, what has the prosecution to offer against this?
The prosecution, in fact, has presented in the case of Ernst Janning only one tangible piece of evidence,
the Feldenstein case, a notorious case, as the defense has said,
a case which never should have been reopened, a case which the defense is obliged to review now.
The defense calls Mrs. Elsa Lindner.
Will you raise your right hand?
I swear by God the Almighty and Omniscient that I will speak the pure truth and withhold and add nothing.
I do.
Mrs. Lindner.
What is your occupation?
I'm a cleaning woman.
Where are you employed?
Four hundred and three hundred and forty-five Grosse Platz.
Did you know Lehmann Feldenstein?
Yes, I knew him.
In what capacity?
He was my employer in nineteen hundred and thirty-five.
Do you know the witness, Miss Irene Hoffman Wallner?
Yes.
In what capacity?
She was a tenant in the building.
Did you ever see Miss Hoffman and Mr. Feldenstein together?
Yes.
How did this happen?
Mr. Feldenstein came to see Miss Hoffman at her apartment.
Often?
Not often.
Were there any occasions in which you noticed anything unusual?
Yes.
I saw Miss Hoffman kissing Mr. Feldenstein at the door of her apartment.
Was there any other occasion?
Yes.
There was one.
What was it?
I came to Miss Hoffman's apartment.
I wanted to clean up.
I thought it was empty.
I saw Miss Hoffman sitting on Mr. Feldenstein's lap.
Thank you, Mrs. Lindner, that's all.
Colonel Lawson?
Your phone, please.
Mrs. Lindner, what are your political affiliations?
Political?
Objection, Your Honor.
This witness's political affiliation has nothing to do with the testimony.
Colonel Lawson is once more trying to appeal to the emotion of the court.
Objection overruled.
Now, would you answer the question, please?
Were you a member of the National Socialist Party?
Yes, I was.
We were forced to be.
Now, when did you become a member of the Nazi Party?
In 1933.
Were all German nationals forced to become members of the Nazi Party in 1933?
Please answer me, Mrs. Lindner.
Were you forced to become a member of the Nazi Party?
That's all.
But this is excused.
The defense may continue.
The defense calls Irene Hoffman Wallner to the stand.
Mrs. Wallner, you are still under oath.
Mrs. Wallner, did you come here voluntarily?
Did you report voluntarily to speak as a witness?
Yes.
Is it not true that the prosecution asked you to come here?
That it was very disagreeable for you to come here?
It is always very disagreeable to live over those times.
That would be in agreement with the information I have that you did not want to come.
Mrs. Wallner.
The Nuremberg Laws were stated September 15, 1935.
Where were you at that time?
In Nuremberg.
Did you know these laws?
Were you aware that the physical relationship with Jews was against the law?
Yes.
Were you aware that in Nuremberg and in Nuremberg in particular,
not only a physical relationship with Jews was viewed with disdain but every social contact?
Yes.
Were you aware that it might have some danger for you personally?
Yes, I was aware of it.
But how can you discard a friendship from day to day because of something?
That is another question, Mrs. Wallner.
I did not ask you that question.
Were you aware of it?
Yes, I was aware.
And yet you still continue to see each other?
Yes.
Remember it was brought out at the tribunal that Mr. Feldstein bought you things?
Candy and cigarettes?
Yes.
Remember that sometimes he bought you flowers?
Yes, he bought me many things.
