:01:00
And this is one of my men.
:01:02
We found him in a ditch
with a kitchen knife in his back.
:01:05
Murdered by one of you.
:01:08
You see the German army retreating,
and it makes you feel hope.
:01:12
It should not.
:01:14
So who is responsible for this?
:01:18
You, priest.
:01:27
What's your name?
I'm Father Merrin.
:01:29
Father Merrin.
These people confess to you?
:01:31
Yes.
So point out the one who is responsible.
:01:34
No one here did this, lieutenant.
:01:36
They aren't capable of it.
:01:38
Father, you must help me with this.
:01:41
Oh, but how?
Well, I need someone.
:01:44
Do you understand?
:01:45
Surely there is one among them
who beats his wife or his children.
:01:49
A thief, perhaps.
:01:50
Every town has someone
it can do without. Point him out.
:01:53
There is no murderer here.
:01:59
I have good news for you.
:02:01
You are all innocent.
Your priest has told me so.
:02:05
The murderer is no doubt
lurking in the countryside...
:02:08
...waiting to strike at the next group
of German soldiers.
:02:12
I am going to shoot 10 of you...
:02:17
...in the hope that we can
demonstrate to this wretch...
:02:21
...the responsibility he has incurred.
:02:26
A worker's hand.
Farmer.
:02:28
Excellent.
No!
:02:30
We will start with you.
Stop!
:02:35
You have some objection, Father?
In God's name, you cannot do this.
:02:41
You choose.
:02:44
What?
Well, they're your flock.
:02:47
You live among them. So you choose.
:02:51
I will not.
:02:53
You give me 10 of them,
or I will kill them all.
:02:56
Men, women and children.
