TIME OF HONOR

Why the uniforms?

What are you discussing?

Your husband invited me to dinner.

- What will you do? - I'm a German. I'll act like a German.

Wanda!

GERMAN ROULETTE Episode 23

Hands.

What happened?

There was a breakout.

- Has anyone been caught? - I don't know.

Quiet!

Last night we succesfully prevented a breakout.

Bandits tried to break through to the prison

from the Ghetto's side.

The prisoners appointed to work in the greenhouse - step out!

Well.

Which one of you...

was to be rescued?

Well?

Or maybe all of you?

Ryszkowska?

Of course.

I could put all of you in solitary.

And wait... until you knuckle under.

But we'll fix it differently.

The prison commandant let me announce unconditional amnesty

for a person,

who will inform us about the failed breakout.

And now...

Back to the ward!

Line up!

Lead them out!

Let's go!

- Look again! - We missed nothing.

You have to help me!

Don't you understand?

There's no escape from there!

How is it possible?

I don't know, really...

- Maybe it was exposed. - You promised,

that you would get her out!

Calm down!

Say something!

- Easy. We'll try again. - When?!

I'll get her out.

This Grazyna...

I'll let you know, when I have information.

Goodbye.

Take care of yourself.

Oh! Good morning.

Good morning.

We need to screen this man.

Obersturmbannführer Lars Rainer?

I met him in the casino. He seems to be friends with Halbe.

- Our operation starts to bring results. - Our?

- I thought you were against it. - I was wrong.

You were right.

- Halbe is an animal. - What did you expect?

- The key's he likes Celina. - What?

Everyone likes her, so what? I say no.

We don't need your approval. Celina has her task, you've got yours.

Nothing incriminates him.

Go to our hospital. Reportedly the Gestapo have their agent there.

Check this, please.

Yes, madam.

Reiner.

We've got the first reports from our new people.

Oh! l'm all ears.

It looks very promising.

Finally, the false forms of permits are in circulation.

And our "fugitive" from the Stalag has found a cozy hideout.

I haven't got a report from our wounded partisan, yet,

but I assume, he landed in hospital.

Nothing but successes.

Apparently, I was wrong.

Apparently, you were.

By the way.

Who is that Pole from the casino?

A half-Pole.

Works in a non-ferrous metals foundry.

- You know him? - I don't.

Visits casino, just like me.

I've screened him.

He's a sales representative, no secret service.

I hope, you're right.

- Should I leave it? - Yes, please.

- Here you are. - Thank you.

Here.

- To the good times. - To business.

So, how's the business?

- Not bad. - Is it?

The times should change. Enough of the war!

Right.

- Mr. Gorka, good morning. - What do you need?

- Don't you recognize me? - I've no memory for faces.

- A drink? - Later, boss.

I need a passport. An Argentinean one.

And documents to get to the port in Lisbon.

- Are you leaving? - Can you do it?

- If I can, it will be done. - How much?

Passport... one thousand. The rest - three.

- Any discount for the motherland? - The motherland

- didn't treat me kindly. - This may change.

- But when? - When you get the documents.

What names should I fill in?

I'll do it myself. I need a blank passport.

Be here on Thursday. We'll have a deal.

Thursday.

Good day.

Have you heard anything about Danka?

For the time being, you have to stay here.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

- Tasty? - I haven't eaten such lard for long.

How did you manage to escape from that camp?

Why are you asking?

Curiosity.

Your glass?

We dug a tunnel.

But they surrounded us in the forest.

They caught the rest. Only I managed to get to a farm.

The owner hid me in a dugout.

- Do you come from Warsaw? - Yes, from the Wola.

I can go to your family and tell them, you're all right.

No, no. I don't have family.

- All of them died. In September. - I'm sorry.

- Do you take sugar? - Is there sugar?

- Here you are. - Thank you.

Mine is better!

You look beautiful.

My hair-do?

- A lecher. - What?

Look.

When... are you going to kiss me?

After all... It's our second date.

Well, yes.

First, you'll have to catch me.

A loony!

You're wonderful.

- Are you going to the bank today? - No, l have a day off.

Let's go to your place.

- To my place? - Don't you want?

I do.

- I don't like, when you visit me. - Don't you want to see me?

It's not the point. Father would never allow that.

Father prowled about by the hospital

to look at you leaving work.

- It's not true. - It's true.

Bronek caught him once.

I'm here officially.

Reportedly, the Gestapo put their agent in the hospital.

- Is it for sure? - Yes.

He asked the German doctor to pass his dispatch to the Szucha.

- And he told you this? - Yes.

Why?

- He's an honest man. - Don't you think,

- this could be a set-up? - Otto would never do it.

Otto?

Do you know him well?

Michal...

Why do you ask?

Our problem in an agent here.

Not Otto.

This agent... Is he a patient?

Yes. A gunshot wound.

- You took care of him? - Who else?

Good. Isolate him.

Not to let him contact other patients.

Our people will take care of him.

Good bye, mum.

Michal!

Take care.

Lena!

Yes?

It has begun.

I don't know, why so early.

What should I do?

I don't know.

Don't cry!

They'll find us.

Hush!

I'm going to bring help. Can you hear me?

I'll be back soon.

Excuse me!

Where is the nearest telephone?

- Try the pharmacy. - Thank you.

Halt!

Cracow...

Lviv...

Then Warsaw.

And plenty admirers?

- Not really. Just a few. - Did you milk them at least?

- Pardon? - Did you trick them out of money?

No... I didn't trick anyone.

- Who wants to finish? - I do!

Watch her.

Why?

I think, she informs Graba.

- No way! - Don't be surprised.

Graba!

You!

- Get ready! - Am I going out?

- For a date. At the Szucha. - Me? For a questioning?

Should I repeat?

Move, you cripple!

Shit!

- They've never taken her so far. - Right.

Why are you looking at me like that?

I don't.

And here is the office.

Mr. Wozniak recommended you.

But you don't look like a professional domestic help.

Before the war I owned a shop. But nothing has left of it

after the September.

What shop?

- Porcelain store. - Oh! Imagine that.

I'll handle it. Don't worry.

Buckets and sweepers are in the servant's room.

What do you mean, "disappeared"?

He's not here. For the second day.

Since the Soviet raid he hasn't appeared. He's not at home.

- Who saw him last? - The Poles loading bags with money.

I'm glad, you regained your good humor.

I've had an impression you were jealous about my operational success.

Not at all. The coffee shop's going to bring results soon.

- Really? - I'm sure of it.

Come in!

The Pole from the coffee shop is here.

Speak of the devil.

Let him in!

- Come in! - Good morning.

- What brings you here? - You're to watch the cafe.

I have a problem with the staff.

See? They probably demand a rise.

What do you want?

My waitress, Danuta Szafir, has been arrested.

She forgot her pass, when she left the restaurant for a while.

Could you, please, release her?

She isn't an underground activist. She conspires like everyone.

If you could release her, because... I don't know. Should I look

- for another one? - Go back to the cafe.

- I'll see to it. - Yes, sir.

Good bye.

You see, Martin?

Running a cafe is not so easy.

An idiot.

All the General Government's money is in our strongroom now.

They'll carry it away soon.

- Where to? - To a bigger strongroom.

- That is? - To Cracow.

By convoy?

By train. The convoy goes to the station.

- Which one? - The Eastern. Why do you ask?

I want to rob it.

I expected someone of higher rank.

My superiors have more important problems at the moment.

Excuse me?

You find of disappearance of a German worker a minor problem?

- I didn't say that. - You're late and on the top of that...

Quiet!

Sit down!

Kaltenborn... Right?

Have you got a radio here?

Of course.

For tomorrow, prepare a list of the Polish employees.

I will question them here all day tomorrow. Is it clear?

- In my office? - Is it clear?

Of course.

- I got it at our first date. - Beautiful.

I can't stand it anymore.

Stop it.

I can't stand it.

Give it to her, for the pain.

Drink it.

What a muck.

But the worst thing is...

I've lost my talisman.

- It's only a pendant. - No.

Luck deserted me.

- It's superstition, you cripple. - Yeah, superstition.

Next time, they will finish me off.

Come on.

We will live.

Nina...

Drink.

- What happened? - A Jew was in the cellar.

She was giving birth to a child. Krauts herd her crying.

They shot her. Now they're taking away all the tenants.

- One more girl was there. - I don't know.

You can't help them. Go.

Run away!

Please, thank your wife on my behalf.

Professor. And apologize my not saying goodbye.

We won't be missing you.

I hope, this time you'll keep your word.

- See Mr. Mosler off before mum comes back. - I'll go out myself.

I'm very sorry, it happened.

I do respect you, Professor.

Go now.

- Where are you going? - Thank you for your care.

But I can't outstay your welcome.

Nobody throws you away.

We aren't murderers.

Of course, not.

Good bye.

One more thing.

Since today, you may keep half of your salary, Professor.

Benefactor.

Good bye.

Thank you for laundering and... darning.

Can you tell me, what's happening here?

Coffee.

Thank you very much.

I like this record very much.

Me too.

Perhaps...

Will you dance?

- I haven't danced for so long. - Don't say no.

Everything you do is... perfect.

- You're exaggerating. - Not at all. You're...

an exceptional woman.

I'm married.

Major...

I don't care.

It's good, you haven't left yet.

- Your council was very short. - The manager let me go earlier.

I told him, I wanted at least to say goodbye to my guest.

It's time for me to go. Thank you for wonderful dinner.

We'll chat tomorrow in casino, won't we?

With pleasure.

- Good bye. - Good bye, Major.

I'll find my way out...

What are you doing? You were to be back later.

I wanted to spoil your date.

You are mad.

Yes.

I just... can't believe it.

Me too, at the first moment. But it was a higher necessity.

- What're you talking about? - What do you think we should've done?

I hoped you were wiser than your father.

Romek didn't shoot at Mosler.

- I don't mean that. - What do you mean?

Why did you let him out?!

- You're hopelessly stupid. - Should we have killed him?

Yes!

You should've killed him.

I'll tell you more.

If anything happens to Lena,

I will kill Mosler myself. Then I'll kill you.

And finally I'll kill myself!

Gentlemen, let's talk.

On behalf of the underground Poland you'll die

for betrayal of the country.

Join the rest!

- What's up? - They're questioning all the Poles.

- It's about Lippke. - Don't talk!

Get them one by one!

Janek!

Lena!

I'm sorry. I had no place to go.

You can go back home. You are safe.

Really?

Are you all right?

I see your "sister" is back.

Good bye.

Don't worry.

Don't worry about her. Come.

You'll tell me everything.

I thought you were arrested.

I'll go for cigarettes, be back in a minute.

Next!

Thank you.

I know you.

- When will I be moved? - Soon.

We're waiting for a flat.

I'd like to do something, to act.

Know, what I mean?

Krauts must pay me for this.

I'll have to lock you in here.

Why?

Not to let anyone in.

Damn, like in prison.

It's necessary.

All right, lock me.

But hurry up with this flat, or I'll go mad.

I'm doing my best.

I've shot Nowotnik. You've got to leave.

When did it happen?

- A moment ago. - I'll pack your things.

There's no time. I wanted to warn you and apologize.

Stop kidding. Where will you go?

I'll be all right.

Good bye, Madam.

It's so warm.

And so many people.

They're walking and walking.

Freedom.

But this is Ghetto.

Freedom, anyway.

That man over there

- looks exactly like my father. - Is he alive?

- I don't know. He's in England. - Really?

Why? Do you have family there?

No.

Just good memories.

If you've someone there, don't tell them at interrogation.

I don't.

Really.

Wanda!

- You don't trust me? - I trust you.

If you do...

Let's escape from here together.

They've got something on me.

4 volunteers to the black laundry!

No volunteers?

- Then, all of you! Go! - Warder, I...

There're no more privileges. Go out!

He escaped through the window?

- He's an ex-boxer. - So?

He's fit.

What's more, during their escape...

What?

He shot our man. A guard from the bank.

The one, we interrogated about the false IDs.

Nowotnik?

Yes, sir.

You know, what you've done?

He was under our surveillance!

You've scared him away! Do you understand?

I do.

I'm ready to bear the consequences.

Get out of my sight!

Yes, sir.

- Can you see him? - No.

Maybe it's better. He'll avoid having his jaw broken.

I'm glad to see you.

I think, we got infected with your bad habit.

For me, it's not a habit. I like playing.

- What about losing? - I've told you, I don't lose.

So we have to stick to you.

You Polish swine!

Hans, calm down!

Call a doctor!

Yesterday, death sentence was passed.

I don't have too many friends here. We'll talk.

Krauts!

- Let's go. - How? - Come on!
