Just before the contest, Uncle Ben lectured to an angered Peter about his recent changes: "Just be careful who you change into.Disgusted and still lathered up, he hands his barber sheet to the Mayor, picks up a heavy rock, enters the saloon through the second story window, successfully pursues and subdues the Indian, and then drags the unconscious man by his heels out into the street, where the townspeople have been witnessing the quick dispatch of the man.While you are afraid of anything, there cannot be any happiness for us.You must forget her." Paula responds: "No, not her.Only what happened to her."[Note: Anton is, in reality, a single-minded jewel thief, diabolical and manipulative husband, and a murderer, who married Paula to live in the house in fog-bound Thornton Square where he had murdered her aunt years earlier.One of the more ruthless of them, the leader Vladis Grutas (Rhys Ifans), shot the wounded SS Major, and stole the Iron Cross from his uniform, as they fled from the attack - becoming deserters.
