TIME OF HONOR

Previously - Are you the new liaison?

No, your boss.

- Standartenführer Keller was killed. - What?

- In the name of the Polish... -I didn't mean to!

It all went wrong.

HELLO, GENTELMEN

Episode 17

Get out.

Move! Hurry up!

- Miss Grazyna. - Don't turn around.

Is there a hope I can get out of here?

Yes.

There is always hope.

I made a mistake.

- Mistakes... - I lost a man and Karol escaped.

We can't eliminate mistakes in our kind of work.

You are a good commander.

Quit blaming yourself.

I'd like to rehabilitate.

You'll have enough chances to do that.

I'll find him. He was trying to get a Hungarian passport.

He'll try to cross the border. I need your permission to leave Warsaw.

Rejected. We need you here.

Karol's case is closed - at least for you. Is this clear?

- Yes, sir. - One more thing.

Your fiancée.

Yes?

She is fine. They don't take her for questioning.

Don't try to contact her through random people.

I'll keep you informed.

Good bye.

Good bye.

What's your decision?

Very wise.

How did you know?

About the documents?

I put two facts together: a locked drawer

and the name of a high rank official at the Ministry of Defense.

Halbe.

- Are you related? - Brother.

Right, brother. I checked it.

It was him, who saved Rappke from Eastern Front.

Please, listen.

I took the files of the case we worked on with Keller

in order not to ruin this important investigation with unnecessary arrests.

- I wasn't involved in Keller's death. - I suggest you listen to me, major.

I'm here to stop the underground activities in Warsaw.

I need people ready to do anything.

Just like you.

Let's say Keller's case is closed.

He died...

in result of sustained wounds. How do you like that?

This may be a successful cooperation.

We need to celebrate it. Cognac?

What did the doctor say?

He sent him on vacation.

Remember any names from your stay in Szucha Ave?

There was one guy with an accordion.

What accordion?

It's an instrument. The guy's name was Rappke.

Why do you need it?

We must know it.

- Are you in intelligence now? - What're these questions?

Wait.

We need to see mother. At a cemetery.

I'd rather go alone.

You won't find him. He's buried under a different name.

- So give me the name. - Why? Don't you want to see mum?

- Is he all right? - He'll be fine. Go...

I'm sorry but I haven't eaten for two days.

Rutka, come here whenever you want.

Have you heard from Lena?

No.

- No contact with Lena. - She should forget about this place.

You're right.

I make brushes now.

That's my pay.

Don't mention it, please.

Take it.

Thank you.

A very good brush. It'll come in handy.

- You're here, mom. - Hello.

Hello.

I have to go.

Thanks again for everything.

- Good bye. - Bye.

- What is this? - Rutka gave it to us.

Are you out of your mind? You want to kill us all?

There's typhus in her family. Why did you let her in?

Why shouldn't l? She always comes to us.

She has lice.

We'll have them, too.

We will not.

I won't allow it.

Thank you.

- Not good? - Very good.

Eat a little more.

I'll go to the bank and pay the contribution.

- No money left for this month. - Contribution?

It's because of the rescue of the partisan from hospital.

- I've heard something. - They'd take our last penny.

Someone should take this money away from them.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Hello. - You're back, Mr. Nowotnik.

- Good to be back in Warsaw. - I don't like Cracow.

- But have to go back there. - Work...

I guard the Reichsbank's convoys.

I'm sorry. I need to rest.

It must be dangerous.

Who's going to attack us? A suicider?

I thought he wouldn't come back.

We have to change your place.

There's no need. I feel so good here.

And I have to get to know him better.

I'll go to the bank.

- What can you do? - What do you mean?

You know bricklaying?

A little bit ...yes.

- You were a professor? - Yes, I am.

- Know about electricity? - I am...

I was a Polish language teacher.

- I don't have work for you. - I can do anything.

- No "anything" here. - I can carry bricks.

You will faint within an hour.

I am strong. I'm begging you, I need this job.

All right. Pick up this bag.

You better go home.

Go home. Go higher with the filler.

Go home, I said.

To Auschwitz? She's been just arrested.

I had to tell you this.

- Does Wanda know? - No.

How is she feeling?

Good. They don't interrogate her.

- When are they taking her? - The day after tomorrow.

What am I supposed to do now?

There is one bribe-taker in Szucha office, but it costs a lot.

How much?

I've heard he takes 20,000.

Can you make an appointment?

Did you get the job?

I'm on the waiting list.

Why? I thought Kochanowicz promised it.

Promised, promised.

- What're you doing? - Mom got a lice obsession.

Come here.

- Let me see. You were outside. - Stop it.

- Leave me alone!!! - She checked me, too.

No problem. I'll leave you alone...

All right.

Have you heard? All the goy janitors will have to leave Ghetto.

- Who told you that? - Our janitor.

- When? - Nobody knows.

And will just rot here.

Warsaw Courier!

One, please.

Thank you.

- Can I have a look at ads? - What're you looking for?

Flats in Zoliborz.

Courier, please.

- Twenty thousand? - Yes.

I didn't know, where to go. Your father...

What about my father?

The same time, tomorrow.

Thank you.

Hello, mom.

You'll strangle me.

Where is Wladek?

He couldn't come. He's still too weak.

Does he still have fever?

No, he feels better, but he...

Blames himself.

I didn't want to worry you.

Now you know everything.

I can either implicate you now

or shoot you.

- I can't believe all of that. - That I flew from England

or that I'm a professional forger?

- You're constantly exposed to danger. - Don't exaggerate.

Janek.

- I have to tell you something. - What's that?

I think I am being watched.

By whom?

I don't know.

I've heard Gestapo was in the hospital.

They were asking about Keller's death.

Yes.

Do you remember any names?

Rainer. Lars Rainer, I think.

Gestapo officer.

- Was he alone? - Yes. He was strange.

Why?

He was polite.

- What did he ask about? - Who visited Keller.

- Who did? - Only Halbe.

- Is he also a Gestapo officer? - No, Abwehra major.

He threatened us he'd and send us all to Auschwitz.

Abwehra does not conduct any investigations.

How can I know such things?

- Why're you asking? - I need to know all about them.

Be careful. This Halbe seems to be a dangerous man.

I'll be careful.

I know, I shouldn't worry about you, boys.

I have to go. I need to take care of something.

Be careful.

- Take care. - You, too.

He was a child not so long ago.

Good boy.

Will you forgive me? Please.

Stop talking rubbish.

- Why didn't you tell me earlier? - I'm sorry.

I might be wrong.

- He might be just a skirt-chaser. - Okay.

Describe him in detail. What does he look like?

He's...

just unremarkable.

Now I know everything. Perfect identity portrait.

- What shall we do now? - You'll do nothing.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. Don't worry.

Nothing's happened. Everything will be all right.

I'll go out and see if anybody is hanging around.

Wait here.

Excuse me.

A persistent intruder wants to see you.

- Call the guard. - He says he knows you

- from before the war. - What's his name?

He didn't tell.

I don't have an appointment. Kick him out, please.

- Sir... - It's all right.

I know him.

I'm glad you're in good health.

Me too.

- Sit down. Anything to drink? - I don't have time.

I'm here for important business. I need 20,000 zlotys.

- Are you in trouble? - It's not for me.

Why don't you tell me more. I haven't seen you for 3 years.

- What do you want to know? - You didn't even shake my hand.

You know why.

- I loved your mother. - You left her.

She was a mentally ill.

- Because of you. - You're wrong. It's a genetic disease.

You left us for another woman.

And that's all.

Do you have the money?

Of course.

I keep it for you in case you come back to the business.

I just need the money.

But you need to cover it somehow. Here you are.

Thank you.

I bought it for your 21 st birthday. Remember?

I've got to go.

Good bye, son.

Good bye.

How is it going?

Have a look.

Look, this "p" is different. See?

The same with this hook. It's too big of a difference.

Don't worry, though. It's just a matter of practice.

Hi. I have an urgent business.

This is Lena...

Nice to meet you.

- My wife. - Congratulations.

Thank you.

Can you leave us alone for a moment.

Yes, of course.

- Did you think it over? - Marriage?

No. The job.

- She might be followed. - Just like any of us.

- We didn't get out of Ghetto. - No one's following her.

Unless you know of someone.

Soup for you.

There is an opportunity for rehabilitation.

Thank you.

Who is that?

A bastard and swindler.

A lot of people died because of him.

You need to find some help.

I've got it.

Good.

You'll find everything here. Good luck.

Finally. Where have you been?

- What has happened? - I've finished it.

"Gone with the wind"?

The names are in alphabetical order and in encyclopedic style layout.

It'll help us to learn their connections. Give me an entry, please.

- Greetings from Aunt Jadzia. - Funny.

Bribe-takers. Here we go:

index cards and references to the files.

Well, well...

A cigarette, please.

Here you are.

You left me here with one pack only.

I'm sorry.

Are the reports from our field agents in order?

You can check.

Anything under the name Rappke? Or Halbe?

Halbe? There was something.

O.D. 34.582.

- Which means? - Wait.

That's it.

Here you are.

Can you read in German?

Yes.

- Where do we have it from? - All the descriptions are here.

The cleaner from the Abwehr Weaponry Headquarters.

Interesting.

I know.

I like these Polish restaurants. You can learn a lot about life here.

Great cognac. I didn't expect this in Warsaw.

- What are you going to do? - I don't know, yet.

Have you read the files I gave you?

I browsed them. Nothing interesting.

- No. I found there a photo of the Majer's killer. - And?

As we know, the killer is in touch with the actress, Wanda Ryszkowska.

I made Keller watch her for some time, but these idiots arrested her again.

- Maybe they were right. - I don't suppose I understand you.

Just think for a moment.

We'll catch an executer of a sentence for a secondary agent, right?

These people are not stupid. Immediately they will change addresses,

names and we'll have to start all over.

We need to change a method. Work out their structure, connections,

map of contacts with London.

- That's what I was working on. - I've noticed.

That's why you are here with me, sipping cognac,

instead of waiting for the executioner in Berlin.

Just kidding.

Look at the girl next to the waitress.

Why does she need such a big bag? She must be a liaison.

And those two men - at one glance you know

they're underground members. Possibly a commander and his subordinate.

It's not Paris or Copenhagen, here.

Almost everybody is in underground.

What if we took over this place?

With help of a trusted person.

Do you have such a person?

I think so.

Hello.

- Hi. - Not too much enthusiasm.

- You want me to jump at your sight? - I was gone for 2 days.

- I really couldn't come. - 4 days.

Do you have something for me?

A watch. A German major. Here is the name, his address,

daily schedule and people he contacts.

- Try to take his picture. - I'll manage for sure.

Don't risk your neck.

Are you worried about me?

I'll be waiting for your report. It's important.

There's a plan...

and we need our best people for it.

What plan?

A Reichsbank robbery.

We need money to keep fighting.

- Does it mean a change in rank? - No, just an extra task.

Won't happen tomorrow. It requires a lot of preparation,

so you will do your usual work while getting ready for the operation.

You will be presented the initial details by the author of the plan.

- Who is the author? - Here he comes.

Remember him?

- Hi, guys. - Hi.

- It must be a mistake. - Shut up. Get in the car.

- Are you in? - You really surprised us.

We knew whom to rescue.

- You just do the planning part. - And you run the streets.

Give us the orders.

Sit down.

And don't touch anything.

Yes, sir.

Sergeant, Mr. Obersturmbahnführeher, I'm not a fighter of any kind.

Good afternoon.

Good afternoon. Quite opposite, I dare say.

What do you mean, quite opposite?

I've already worked for you.

- Have you? - Karol Ryszkowski.

He recruited me, and I quite liked it.

Unfortunately, after some time he lost his mind and started hiding from you.

Interesting. And where is his hideaway?

Oh, that's what you need.

I really don't know. I swear on my mother's grave.

All I know is that he came to me to borrow some money.

I punched him in his kisser and he went away.

- In his kisser? - Yes.

He asked for it. He wanted ten thousand.

How can I get such money?

- Don't sit down! - Yes, sir.

I didn't like that he ruined my business with you, gentlemen.

Everything was going well.

- Was it? - Yes, sir.

Please, don't hit me.

I will tell you all I know. Whatever you want.

As for Ryszkowski,

I really don't know, where is, but if you want

I can trace him down.

I'm not interested.

No?

No.

I have a different offer for you.

Do you want to own a café in the center?

In the center?

A cigarette?

Halt!

Documents!

I have great news for you, professor.

- Can we offer any food to our guest? - There's no food.

I've already eaten. You'll be better off soon, too.

Get to the point, Mr. Mosler.

Sure. Your house fell under Housing Office 13.

- How? - It doesn't matter.

The janitor's position became vacant.

And I came to offer it to you, professor.

- My husband - a janitor? - The best job in Ghetto.

Fixed salary and safety, of course.

- They don't send janitors away. - What's your interest in it?

I think half of the salary is a fair offer.

Half of the salary.

Hurry up thinking. There're many willing to get the job.

- My patience has its limits. - All right. We'll think about it.

One more thing.

I know, that your daughter is alive and fine.

I wish you it stays this way.

I'll put it short. I know who your fiancée is.

I'll keep it to myself, if you give me 5000 zlotys.

Listen, asshole!

You don't carry this amount of money, so I shall return soon.

Have a nice evening.

Tomorrow we'll learn more about the major.

- Hania'll watch him. - We need to facilitate it.

What?

Our system.

I'm wondering if...

Start packing! The place is hot.

- What's happened? - Hania's been caught.

Hello.

- It's just for Germans. - I'm sorry.

Got the money?

20,000. You can count it.

Wanda.

Eat something. You'll lose your strength.

Eat.

Ryszkowska.

Here!

Let's go.

Did he agree?

I've never seen

anyone so eager to cooperate.

I'm so glad it's you, who was sent to work here.

- I would think so. - Any other investigator

would torture Wozniak to squeeze out all he knows.

What else can you get out of him?

Major, a policeman needs such little rats.

They have a different purpose.

Thank you very much.

If he gets in touch with Ryszkowski we'll learn about it.

I've told you, I'm not interested in small fries.

We need to go to the casino one day.

- Do you gamble? - Is that bad?

We've got so much in common!

- Let's get on first name terms. - With pleasure.

- Lars. - Martin.

Sit down.

Please.

Sit.

Cognac?

Do you mind, if I have a little?

I need to tell you something.

You're on the transport list to Auschwitz.

However, I could

cross you out,

if you tried to be...

nice to me.

Can I go to my cell now?

Guards!

As you wish. Take her back.

What're you waiting for? Run!

in the next episode... - I need to ask you something.

- I was scared, but... - I've got a plan.

Practice... or I'll kill you on the spot!

- How many watts, the transmitter? - As many as it needs.

This starts the camera.

- Halbe goes to the casino? - We've got him!
