About a year ago, I gave
a German patrol a safe conduct...

:35:06
...to get their wounded into hospital.
:35:08
I still had some romantic notions
about fighting a civilized war.

:35:14
Anyway, they wanted Andrea
pretty badly even then.

:35:17
They shot their casualties,
went to his house and blew it up.

:35:21
He was out on a job, but his wife
and three children were in the house.

:35:29
They were all killed.
:35:31
I helped him to bury them.
:35:35
He didn't say a word to me.
Never looked at me.

:35:38
But after it was over, he said that
as far as he was concerned...

:35:44
...it wasn't the Germans who were
responsible, but me.

:35:48
Me and my stupid Anglo-Saxon decency.
:35:54
He said what he
was going to do, and when.

:35:57
Do you think he still means to do it?
:36:02
He's from Crete.
Those people don't make idle threats.

:36:10
I thought I was getting leave.
:36:12
I was going to ask for
transfer to another area.

:36:15
Take some time to think,
get ready for him.

:36:18
And I messed that up.
:36:20
I'm sorry.
:36:23
That's all right.
:36:24
It's gonna be a long war.
:36:27
What makes you sure
he's gonna wait that long?

:36:31
I'm not. Not if he gets
the right opportunity.

:36:39
What I'm banking on is, that now
all he wants to do is to kill Germans.

:36:44
As long as I can be useful to him
in that department...

:36:48
...he'll do his best to keep me alive.
:36:51
I hope.
:36:52
That's nice of him.
:36:56
Well, I can see his point.
:36:59
The only way to win a war is to be
just as nasty as the enemy.
