THE TWO KINGDOMS

Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Christ making. >> I promise to come and say goodbye. Judge, >> you picked a fine time to leave. Fred, your case is >> no more cases for me. It's your baby from now on. >> I do wish you would not go home just today, Harman. >> Passport, plane ticket. I'm sorry, judge, but it's that girl you >> I don't want to hear a word. Going home, late show me home. Remember? >> So, this is it. >> All right, Harman, have a fine trip. >> Judge, any trip home is a fine trip. So long, Fred. >> Take care. And I'll don't take any wooden dutch marks. >> Come into help me. Excuse me. Just let me show you. >> Her husband, help me. Please help me. >> It's too late, Erica. I'm going home right now. >> Father, you ask him. Don't help. >> You see what I mean? Can't you change your mind and stay? They're your friends. >> I said I was going home and I'm going home. I've done all I can for them. Hey, Hoffman, I beg you. What do you all want from me anyhow? Got my own life to live. Please don't forsake us. I've had it. I'm through. I'm going. Help me. Help me. Airman, please. >> Help me. Please. Help. Don't for got my own life to live. First it's Erica, then it's Papa Caner, now it's Willie. It's a wonder they didn't drag the mother along, too. I wonder what he wants out of me. This is where I came in. It was the day I first hit Germany, fresh from home. My very first minute, in fact. Oh yes, up those steps and right across the street. You can't miss it. It's got a big sign on it. Thanks, fella. You betcha. >> Oh, say, remember those kids I was telling you about? Watch this. >> Hey, you're too young to smoke, kiddo. I don't smoke, mister. It's for my father. See? >> Oh, well, don't start either. Here, try this. >> Thanks, mister. >> Let me help you. >> Well, that's what I call service. The kid showed me how to get where I'd be living for the next year. He followed me right into my room. Okay, kid. >> Okay. My name is Willie. >> I suppose you learned English from the J, huh? >> You betcha. I bet you. >> How's about teaching me German? >> You betcha. >> Starting right now. What do you call this? >> And this >> hemp. >> Hechen. Hempen. Hitchen. Hemp. What's all this shen stuff? >> That means little. >> Oh, well. I I hope they're not too shen. >> Please. >> Please. What? >> What? Skip it. That'll come in the next lesson. Here you are. Pansion suction. Shushen. There you are. >> Please. >> How do you say put them on? >> A little boy says to a man. >> What does a man say to a little boy? S. >> What's the matter, kid? What did I do? >> Nobody ever gave me nothing before. >> Nobody ever gave you nothing before. Huh? That's all over, Willie. It's all over now. And that's how my acquaintance with Willie and his family began. I drove him out to where he lived. If you can call this living, >> that's my father and my mother. is a cider of a common >> from here hman papa he is American >> my son is in trouble >> no sir I gave him the things I'm sorry I kept him so late then it is all right I am Helen Kerner >> how do you do >> this is my wife >> and you're an American h yes sir come in then come and see how we Sit down. Sit down. >> Thank you. Some coffee for our guests, mother. >> Oh, thanks. No, I've had my coffee. >> Don't worry. This isn't real coffee. This is what we get for coffee. We refugees. >> Refugees from where? From what was Germany once? So easy. From so easy. Stories. Everybody in Germany has a story. But not such a thing as this. Look, it's quite a watch, sir. >> Ah, but I mean this to her lawyer Vilhelm Kerner, honored city councelor for efficient service to a grateful state. To a grateful state, you see. So, dear nobodyies. At home, I was a somebody. >> 1942. >> Yeah. >> That was during the war. H of course. >> I see. >> What was this service to the state, sir? >> Oh, I know what you're thinking. You're thinking here is a Nazi. Yeah. >> Yes. >> I was a member of the party. Who wasn't? >> But believe me here, Huffman, I was beyond politics. With the law was my business, not with politics. >> I see. To you, Nazism was just politics. Oh, please. Hey, Hoffman. Again, I know what you're thinking. Of the criminals of the SS, but I ask you to be logical. There were criminals. Yes. But could millions upon millions of Germans all be criminals? >> Well, maybe not. >> You see, what's being done to us? Is not all this the way we live? Is not all this punishment enough for being of the same race as the bad ones, the same nationality? >> Let me get this straight. You're saying the hard time you're having now cancels out any wrong you did before? And I mean that innocent people like us who did nothing are paying now in misery and exile for the wrong that others did. And we never approved of the others. You know, we never knew what they did. We do not believe that our people could do such things as we have heard about. >> Things like concentration camps, gas chambers. You don't believe they really happened. >> Perhaps. But that's all over now. Anyhow, all I am saying is that I never had anything to do with it. I merely served my city, my state. Your state was wrong and you were wrong to serve it. >> My dear young American, that is not for me to say. I obeyed its rules. I helped to carry out its laws. And a good citizen is not ashamed of that. >> Bravo. Bravo. >> Respect. Here is an American who has come to see how we live. >> And you make him speeches. >> I am Erica. >> This is my daughter. Now you know all our family. All in one cage. And what are you doing here, Mr. >> Hoffman? I'm a volunteer from the church. >> The church? >> Yes. Yes. He gave Willie all these. See >> the church? I thought it would be more practical. >> Does your charity include me? >> Anaka, I'm here to help everybody any way I can. I'll see what can be done. Best would be not charity. Just just for me a job. Just just work. >> So we can live decently. So our children can grow up decently. >> I'm very new here. Let me find out. Let me bring somebody around. I would be so grateful. I'm not a beggar. But how can a man see this happen to his family? His his daughter, my Erica. I don't know her anymore. She she used to be my my fiction, my doll. But who knows what she is. Who knows what she becomes. This this stranger in my house. My my daughter. >> This house. You live on the money I bring into it. Don't you? >> I'll come back tomorrow. >> Wait. Could I ask for something now? >> Why? Certainly. >> Do you have a cigarette? >> Sure. >> Sure. Thank you so much. I tell you, it's out of my range. The whole family in trouble. A nice family. At least the kid is and the mother. But the father has the Indian sign on her. It's the way these German women get. You've been here as long as I have, you'll find that out. >> What's the old man like? >> Oh, brother. Everything but Hitler and a sister right off Cheap Street. But they're helpless. You see, the way they live. >> I know. There's 10 million of them in Germany. A pot stamp agreement made a pretty clean sweep. >> What do we do? Let the kid rot in that environment. And giving him shoes and shirts and stuff isn't going to help either. Anybody can hand out soup. They need help. >> You're right. It goes deeper than soup and shirts. And it didn't take you long to catch on. Most volunteer workers don't find that out till they're ready to go home. >> Where do I go from here? >> You said they were refugees. >> Yeah, from Celisia. Perfect. One of our pastors here is a Seleian refugee himself. Come on, I'll introduce you to him. >> He's a terrific guy. Opposed the Nazis right down the line into a concentration camp. Maybe he can do something for them. >> Or with them. And I do mean with Papa. These are the friends I told you about. Mrs. Carer, Mr. Ker, Willie, and uh >> Oh, Erica, my daughter is out. I promised I'd bring someone to help you. I brought Pastor Gart because he's one of you. He's a refugee, too. Just another of the 10 million. You're disappointed. Why? We need help, not prayers. I did not come to pray or to preach. >> Oh, you will. You will. I know. Have faith. Have faith in God. He'll help you. I know. He has already. I look and I see that you see what I see. The god of love has been with you and still is with you. Are you mad? The fatherland is destroyed. Our armies are broken. Berlin, Braymond, Frankfurt, our cities are in ruins. We have no homes, no jobs, no food. We We live like animals. And this is the help of the god of love. Wait a minute. What about what your fatherland and your armies did? The cities they ruined. The millions of people they made into animals and corpses. How about all that? Who did all that? >> Not I. Then you come preaching faith and love at me. Faith in what? What has God done for me? For example, he has kept you together. I have seen men who have lost everything they had, everyone they loved. And you can still talk love and faith. >> I still have faith. >> In what? I have faith in my God who cares for those who trust in him and strengthens those whom he wants to serve him and teaches us that the best way to serve him is to serve you. So how can I >> serve me? By giving me no talk of faith. Don't you have faith in anything? >> Yes. >> What? That we Germans will get back what belongs to us and keep it with what another war if necessary. This is our curse. We never learn. We're blind, stubborn, wicked. Get out. Get out of my house and leave your family to suffer from your madness. No. Fra, the church has a little school. Would you like Willie to go? >> Why forbid? I want it to go to school to learn Velhelm, not to grow up like an animal. He will go. >> And we have a mother's rest home for you. What are you doing to my family? What are you doing to them? >> Rest home? I don't know. But school? Yes. From church? Can we go to church? >> Could you don't you? >> Did you see a steeple among the chicken pens? Here we have only barracks. Where is the church for us? In one of the barracks. Would you have come if you knew? Or didn't you ever ask? >> Forgive us. We will come. All of us. >> We'll take Willie and enroll him in school right now. And Sunday, he'll show you where to come. You'll be welcome. All of you. And your daughter, too. >> Maybe she'll be working >> on Sunday. What does she do? >> She works. And when we live on what she earns, we can ask no questions where it comes from. We have to live. We have to live. From that time on, my work with the family began. It went on with others like them, too. As I became a funnel through which help from America was channeled to those who needed it and how they needed it. I learned how much all the little things mean to those who have so little and how far the little I did to help really went. As for Mrs. Ker, we did get her a stay at one of our homes. Her first real rest in how many years? But all this was well on the physical side. My real concern was with the tensions in the Ker family and I was getting to be a part of it myself. >> Hey, that was my sister's present. >> Then the kids was for her. What we on the way down. until death are more. >> Yep. I just couldn't seem to get through to the real tension in the family. I knew the right way to start, but even there it didn't work. So, I stuck with Willie. And I think I did a good job. But still, even by the time my tour of duty was up, there was one I really couldn't get through to. Try as I might, I never could. He couldn't fail to see how Christian help had come through me, that somebody at last really cared about them. But right up to my last evening in Germany, it was the same old stubbornness. The same old No, no. All your talk cannot convince me I was wrong. Will you do me a favor just this once? If I can. Yeah. Will you come tonight just this one time to one of our open forums? No. >> Forums? This will be right up your alley. You'd listen to lawyers, wouldn't you? >> What lawyers? >> German lawyers. We're helping the church to sponsor all kinds of forums. Doctors, teachers, lawyers, and the lawyers are the most important. >> Aha. You see? Huh? >> Because if there's any hope for Germany, it's in the men who make and administer its laws. Who knows? Maybe you'll meet an old friend there. >> Or get a job, perhaps. >> Well, I can't promise you that. it. Here's your chance to stop wallowing in your old glory, complaining you have a raw deal. Here's a chance to take part in bettering it. There'll be talk, you say, or are just preaching. >> Well, we discussed the Christian responsibility each man has in the course of his daily work. And if it's argument you want, there'll be plenty of men there you'll respect will give it to you. >> Maybe they'll teach you what I haven't been able to. >> What if I teach them something? >> We'll take that chance. That's more than your kind of state ever gave its opposition. >> All right, I'll go. Just this once, just as a favor. >> You're going into town? >> Yeah. Want to lift? >> Could you? I'll have a date on Ger Strong. >> Sure. Our meeting's near there. We'll drop you off. >> Can I go too? >> No. No. You stay with the mother >> tonight. I go to the church to sew. Take the boy. >> My family discipline. >> Okay, Willie. Get your head. >> I'll be out in a minute. Mrs. Kenner, I leave for home tomorrow, you know. >> Yes, I know, Fred. >> So, I'll say goodbye. I don't know what to say, but Can't back out now. You promised. Go ahead. First floor. You too, Willie. >> Thanks, Fred. >> Will I see you again to say goodbye? >> Does it matter? >> Well, I thought I >> Don't you worry about me, Fred. Erica always gets along. It is you lawyers who will have much to contribute to the quality of the new state. For the foundation of the law is the constitution. And you lawyers and jurists are the builders of that foundation. But that is not enough for a Christian to say, for there will be no value in anything we say tonight if we do not confess one thing first. Everyone here knows in his heart what that one thing is. I think the question is will we confess it? Will we confess that man's law, which is the structure, and the constitution, which is the foundation of man's law, have no strength, no standing at all, unless they stand on the rock of God's law, and that over God's law there is nothing higher. Will you admit that and swear that never again will we betray our God? I will admit nothing of this kind. I am new here, but I would like to ask one question. >> Of course. Go ahead. How about betraying a state? This is all very beautiful. A lovely theory for a Sunday sermon. But on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, we are lawyers, and we must work under the law of the state. Our duty is to the law of the state. To admit any other law is free. You find it impossible to admit that there is a higher law than man-made law when you know so well what that law has led us to. Don't you ever look around you? You know, you talk about betraying the state. Before the war and during the war, thousands, tens of thousands of Christians refused to yield to the pressures of the state's laws. 90,000 went to jail to concentration camps crying in the wilderness against the evil the state was doing legally with laws. We didn't listen to them, but they were right. I suppose you think they betrayed the state by disobeying its laws and obeying God's laws and suffering for it. Do you? I think they were fools. Fools. Yet when they told us the course Germany was following would lead to destruction, they were right. I don't think they were fools. I say we must listen to their wisdom now and start all over again before it is too late. >> Counselor, may I speak freely? By all means, my colleagues, I did not expect to be drawn into such a thing as this, but I did not expect error to hear such talk from a German. So, I must say what I think unpleasant for some people to hear again, but I will say it. Let us say it quickly and simply. Germany must live. Germany must live. Is that wrong? >> No. >> To live, Germany must produce. Is that wrong? >> No. To produce, we must have space. We must have room. We must have industries. We must have them. And what is happening? We have lost land. We have lost factories. We have lost what we need to live. Am I right? >> We have also lost our illusions. We have enemies on every side of us, old enemies and new enemies. To live, Germany must be strong. We know what it is to be not strong enough. We must be strong. We must be stronger. And where does his strength come from? Ideals or discipline? >> Do you mean discipline or do you mean regimentation? >> I mean only what is necessary to live. If regimentation is necessary for Germany to live, then we must have it. But what I say is this. What is important is that the state must live. The individual does not count unless he contributes to the welfare of the state. You know, >> I believe that what you just said is called realism. >> Realism? Yes. Our suffering is real and only realism can cure it. Today, some people call it communism, but it doesn't cure their suffering. You know, before the war, people talked like that to me. Before the war, too many of us divided our lives into into two parts. Two little kingdoms. They were one kingdom that was for Sundays. It had its own laws. Obey God in his word. The other kingdom that was for weekdays. It had its laws, too. Laws based exactly on your realism. Close your eyes to God's law and obey the state for the good of the state. And what did he want us to do? Disobey the state? Then there would be no law at all. Let me ask you one question. What is the price you paid for your sacred state? Not just ruins and wretchedness and the occupation, but the shame in our souls. The shame we only admit to ourselves behind closed doors. Tell me if you can, what is the price you paid? You and your family. >> It all right here. >> Certainly. Candy shops are wonderful in front. Come on, sit down. >> Look, I can't stay very long. Give it to me now. >> What's your hurry? Give it to me now. Let me get out of here. All right. All right. >> So much. >> Sure. 300 320 40 60 80 400. >> That is the price we paid for betraying God's kingdom to the state. Here pastor counselor, we have a serious mistake here. You speak as though we wanted all of this happen, as though we could help it. We could not. But we were the victims of history and geography. Did we put our enemies on either side of us? Did we choose to have so small a living space? No. And that is why every time a leader turns up who promises you space and glory over your enemies, you follow him. And what do you promise us? I Yes. What do you offer us? The greater Germany. Yes. Good. Then I am wrong. Then then we will follow you. >> Willie, this is way over your head here. It's a mark. There's candy store around the corner. >> You misunderstand. Not me. God. God does not promise you a Germany strong in arms, a Germany rising high above all states. The rise and fall of states means nothing in the eyes of God. But the rise, the constant rise of man, man in his image toward the angels, toward God himself, that means something. When godless dictators silenced the church leaders who taught this truth, and only a few of us spoke as loudly as we should, I'm afraid. Then the hand of God struck. Even as in his own time he will strike down any nation which defies him. Can nothing teach you that? >> Still say it's a lot of money. >> All right. You're the best we've got. >> What if I get caught? >> Then I never knew you and you never knew me. >> I think. >> Look, it's all right till you get caught. After that, you're on your own. You knew that when you came in with us. >> All right. I'll bet the law is looking for us. >> You bet it is. So, get an alibi. >> Wait, two for a mark. just a kid. >> What's an alibi? It's >> only way to prove you couldn't have been here at this time. You'll need one. Why just this time? >> Because at this exact moment, my little friend, I am sitting with other friends having a glass of beer. >> I don't understand. >> An alibi is a proof that you were somewhere else when a certain crime was committed. And just in case there are any spies and I am caught, I will be able to prove I was somewhere else and never saw you tonight. And you'd better be able to prove the same thing that between 9 and 10 you couldn't have been here because if you say you were here and I can prove I was not, somebody's going to be wrong and everybody is going to be in trouble. So, >> so get an alibi. I see. I have an idea. If you can drive me home now so that I get there before my mother and father, I think I can prove by his own watch that I was never here. >> You learn fast. >> Alibis. Alibis. We've got to stop saying we weren't around when the evil was done. We must begin to fight that evil. Very good. Very good. But you still have not told what you offer Germany. Or perhaps you have nothing to offer. I offer you the leadership of the world. That shocks you? You have heard that before. But I offer it because God promises it. Yes. His word says that if you will give up this conception of the state supreme, this conception that leads the whole world down the path of evil to the individual, if you will give it up and realize your own personal relation to God is vain unless practiced in personal relations with all other men. Where's preaching more fast? Realize this and believe him who says, "Let him who would be the first among you be the servant of all." And he did not mean of the state. He meant of all men, all nations, all peoples. You want to lead the world, lead it in brotherhood. You twist my words. Why, these men here? What kind of Germans are you? Okay. Who? Who? Anybody who disagrees with you is a fool. Huh? Well, the only one who won anything tonight was me. >> I heard her later. What do you mean you won? >> Well, I got you to come to the forum, didn't I? They'll never convince me. >> Please, Papa. >> Never. That means you'll come to the next meeting. >> I never They don't talk law up there. They just preach sermons. I told you once I want no sermons. I tell you again. I don't need God. >> That's what you think. Come on. I'll drive you home. >> Thank you. >> Wait, what about Erica? >> Uh, she'll be all right. She always stayed out late. No sense of time. No sense at all. >> And whose fault is that? >> That's enough. If you won't drive us, we can walk. Hair, Hoffman. >> Yes. Hair counselor. Hallelujah. She's home. >> Papa, I wanted to be home. Go to bed. Did I wake you? >> Yes, I got thirsty. What time is it? >> Around 11:00. >> Well, no, it can't be that late. I've only been home an hour and I left town at 9:00. >> We'll see. My watch is never wrong. You're right. 10 10 for once. You're in early. >> Yes. I never met my friend. >> Well, good. Go back to bed again. >> Yes, father. Why are you going so early? There's no school today. >> To make my goodbye with Heron Hoffman, please. >> Well, that's right. He takes off today, huh? Go ahead. >> Shall I say goodbye for you? I'll miss you, kid. But I have a home, too. I have to get back to my job. >> Something wrong, Skipper? >> Yes. >> Spell it. >> It's Erica. >> I don't know what to do. >> You and me both, Willie. What is it? Now, >> first I must know if somebody tells a lie and somebody knows it is a lie. >> No, it's one of those things, huh? Well, I'll tell you what, Skipper. I've got some goodbyes to say around town. Suppose you ride with me and tell me all about it. And if it's that serious, why I'll go home with you and straighten it out. That is if I can. Okay. >> You betcha. Now, this is where we came in. >> What do you mean? Where is my daughter? Why do you come asking for her? >> It's a matter of law, my friend. I suppose you'll tell me she's not here. >> I tell you nothing until you give me reason for being here. I am a lawyer. I know our rights. >> A lawyer, huh? All right. Your daughter's in trouble. She's one of a gang of counterfeits. >> This is nonsense. Nonsense, huh? Last night, your daughter was handed a roll of phony bills by a man we've been following. >> Last night, eh? At what time? >> 10:00. >> You're sure of that? H >> so sure it's in the war? >> Fine. At 10:00, my daughter was right here. >> That's what you say? >> That's what my watch says. >> A watch can be wrong. >> Not this watch. From a grateful state, you see you in your ignorance. I would have known how to deal with a puppy like you. We are both servants of the state. Only you just happen to have your job still. >> I apologize. >> I ignorant, insolent puppy. You insult me, you'll choose my daughter of this preposterous charge. The daughter of a respectable, retired, honored citizen of the state. >> A mistake here, doctor, I assure you. A mistake. >> Well, what trouble have you brought? Willie has something to tell you. And you too, Erica. Go ahead, Willie. >> I tried to tell you last night, Papa, but >> Well, I'm listening now. Tell me. >> Last night, I heard Erica talking to a man about money. Then when you went to sleep, I saw her change your watch. >> Impossible. No, Papa. First she changed it back, then she changed it ahead. She changed the time. >> But why? But >> an alibi. >> That's the word the man said. Alibi. >> He's lying. He's lying. >> The truth. Tell me the truth. Which one of you lies? >> He lies. He lies. So, the policeman was right. Is this the kind of thing you were doing, Erica? >> And what if it was? >> So, this is what we live for. >> What you don't know doesn't hurt you. >> But, but even this is is not so bad as using me, Erica. using your father to to lie to the law. >> Who has to know? Nobody. >> Nobody has to know. >> Nobody. Unless you tell or he does or that one. >> Nobody has to know it. It should stay in the family. It can't. The family must be safe from shame. You're right. Nobody must know. >> But we know. >> Why? Yes. But >> what is more, we always knew. >> What is all this? >> We always knew the money came from somewhere. We never asked. >> Well, we had to live. We had to live. >> Yes. But how? And shame? >> Never. >> Always afraid to ask the truth because we were ashamed of what it would be. >> No. No. >> Always. Always. From the first, even back home. >> No. Not at home. Only here in exile. This This is our shame. >> This is not our shame. This is our punishment. We've always been in exile from our own souls. From the day that you first said yes to the Nazis and no to God. >> I I did all this. >> We all did. Our neighbor, a Jewish neighbor, disappeared. Did we ask what had become of him? No. Our pastor preached that all men are brothers in Christ. The stormtroopers dragged him from the pulpit. And you went on worshiping the state. Shame. Shame. You worship grace. supremacy, aggression, torture, murder. That was your state. >> No, it gave us a greater Germany. I was proud of it. >> And behind that pride, you were ashamed. Always shame. Shame. And you say no shame must come to this family. What has happened to you, Vilhelm? >> To me? What has happened to you? Suddenly, Suddenly you fight me. >> Yes. Yes, I am fighting you. >> Why? Why? Because with your we have to live. You've done this to our daughter. But you cannot do it to our son. He has told the truth. He must not hear you lie. You did this. You set my wife against me. My son against me. You did this. >> No, I didn't set anybody against you. Was the truth that set itself against you. >> The truth? I suppose you will go to the police with it. >> Not I. I've done all I can, all I want to do. I'm just a bystander, Mr. Carer. Anything you do from here on out, you do alone. >> Get out. Leave us alone. >> Sure. So long, Willie. Goodbye, Mrs. Caner. I was only trying to help. >> All I was trying to do was help the poor souls. That's all. Threw me out of the house. A whole year's work. Shot. At least you did some good. You know you can't change people overnight. It takes time. If you took that permanent post you were offered, you'd have a chance to follow through. You said yourself Mrs. Kerner stood right up to him. >> Yeah, sure. Well, like shooting elephants with a BB gun. >> Feel pretty bad, huh? >> Frankly, yes. It's probably my own fault. >> But you know, you're privately to blame, too. >> Me? >> Yes. You were here longer than I was. Knew what these people were like, and you let me lead with my heart. Here I am out on a limb. Should have told me the truth. Can't do a thing with them. Too much prejudice, too much fear, too much pride. >> So, you're going home, huh? >> You're right. I'm going home. What do you think you'll find there? Paradise. Too much prejudice over here. How long will it be after you step off the plane before you hear the words kite, pock? Too much fear over here? How long will it be before you pick up a newspaper and read about a cross burning on somebody's lawn? A family driven out of a neighborhood because of their race, color, or religion? Pride. Adam bombs don't fall. That dropped. How many times have you heard some of our people say, "My country right or wrong?" as though our country could never be wrong. >> What's all this got to do with me? >> Fred, I'm just trying to make you realize that you can't run away from things. I'm trying to make you realize that because a country's bigger doesn't mean that it's more righteous. Because we're stronger, we're greater. No country has a monopoly on wisdom or righteousness or decency or misery or heartaches. If you look, you'll find the same kind of misery and heartaches back home that you find here. The same kind of misery that cries out for the gospel. You and I are supposed to supply it. If you can't lick misery here, you can't lick it anywhere. That's all I want you to see. Ch. I realize it, but I know myself. I wasn't cut out to be a crusader. And through trying, thought I could take some of my savings, volunteer for years work over here, and do some good. I see I can't make the grade. I'm going home back to my old job from 9 to 5. I'm going to the movie Saturday night. I'm going to follow the baseball scores. Get myself a little house in the country and stay in my own backyard where I belong. This job is too big. It's too big for me. Fail. Licked them through. Well, what do you want? What happened? Did you finally go and tell the police? >> Who then? Your mother? >> No. >> Not your father. >> Yes. >> Honest. >> Honest. >> Come on. >> So, Hakana, according to the best of your knowledge, your daughter is guilty. Yes, your honor, permit me. There is the final evidence. And so, your honor, I formally enter a plea of guilty for my daughter and for myself. >> For yourself? >> Yes, your honor, because I was guilty of knowing that the girl was doing wrong and of not daring to ask what it was so that I could counsel her to stop. Why didn't you? >> Because I lied to myself and I said I have to live. Now I know that I was living at the expense of my daughter's guilt. And as I lived on the proceeds of her crime, I share her guilt. We are ready for sentence. >> Just a minute, your honor. Haka as a lawyer you must know that there's only one course open to me under the law >> and that is to follow the law. >> Yes I know. >> But do you also know that according to the law as it is written there is no penalty for you because though your guilt has been admitted the law cannot find you guilty of not doing what you should have done. What do you say to that? >> I say, your honor, that there is a higher law than the states, and that under that law, I am still guilty, and that whatever my daughter's penalty must be by your law, I should share it by ours. Then, Grand Colonel, I must still impose the sentence the law demands. Erica Colonel, I sentence you to one year in the custody of an honorable Christian person and payment of 1,000 mark fine. Your honor, I do not know where I shall find either the Christian person among my friends or the money. >> Your honor, I do. >> Who do you suggest? >> Villim Ker is for the money. No, I must do that myself. I can raise the money. It is a small price to pay for having my daughter my own again. Permit me, your honor. I was proud of this, but now I do not need it. It was a very fine watch, >> officer. And what up? >> Get the jeweler you arrested for black marketing diamonds >> in a moment. What is this worth? Was it worth heavy? It should be. It's gold. It is brass. All right, officer. Forgive me, your honor. You see, it was from a grateful state, a relic of my wrongness. No, it has betrayed me and my daughter. >> Here's the money, judge. My airline ticket for home. >> Oh, no. Hair Halfman. It means too much to you. >> It means much more now, Erica. It represents a long, long journey, Fred. True. But my journey isn't the important one. But your home, your your job, you're my job. And it won't be over till your troubles are. You see, I've learned something from you. All I wanted to do such a short time ago was get home, back behind my own boundaries, back among my own people, my own family. But there wasn't any misery or trouble. But I was so wrong. Wherever there is misery and trouble, there I should feel at home. That is if my Christianity is real. I guess that's one meaning of the cross. And whether is this idea of my own race, my own family, and above all my own boundaries, there's bound to be trouble on either side of both. Why? Back home, we have to realize that America too can go down the wrong road to the wrong kingdom. Remember the two kingdoms. If we put the state or anything above God's kingdom, the more I learn about it here, the better Christian citizen I'll be when I do get home. Peace has its price and only begun to pay it. As for your guilt, everybody's guilty of something, even if it's only just standing by while others did the wrong. There are no innocent bystanders in this world. Everybody has to fight side by side against all evil. the best way to fight. Why? It's by doing the best you can for others unselfishly by praying and working and giving for others. But come to think of it, I guess that's what God did when he sent us his son. Only by giving can we be like a giver. That's the law of his kingdom. The true kingdom, the law by which we each must live as a servant of all.
