All language subtitles for The Rat Savior (1976)

SAVIOUR

Wait! Wait!

I'm sorry,
I'm very sorry people,

but we didn't have
any offers today.

Enough for today!

You can go now!

Excuse me, please...

Mr. Gajevski, I'm telling you
every day, there's nothing.

There's a crisis going on.

Wait until things
settle down a bit.

So for the third time,
we urgently ask of the

esteemed head of the board to do
something so this editorship could,

under normal conditions,
fulfill it's own business.

- Water-works are so...
- Good afternoon.

What do you want?

I came because of that manuscript
I gave you a month ago.

You remember, that novel,
"Epidemic".

About the pestilence that spreads
around the town like a plague

- it's an allegory for bureaucracy.
- I remember, just a moment.

- Where were we?
- Water-works are so...

Are corroded so much that they start
to leak so that every room stinks

of dampness and became
inappropriate for work and dwelling.

Excuse me, but can't you see
the situation we're in?

I just want to know will you
publish it or not.

Unfortunately, I must return it
to you. It's not for publishing.

But you promised.
You said that it's splendid.

I can't remember, maybe I did.
Maybe I liked it, personally.

But there are other members of the
editorship. I think that most of them

criticized the way the
plague was spreading,

it seemed very unrealistic.

- Where were we?
- Inappropriate for work and dwelling.

Yes. Write this too. Floors became
so rotten and worm-eaten that

they could tear down in
any moment now.

And they became good for nesting
of mice, rats and other vermin.

But sir, the novel is a symbolistic
situation, you can't expect it to be

- realistic like in life.
- I'm sorry. But I really can't help you.

And even if artistic value would
be alright, it's hard that we decide

to publish the novel in
this kind of situation.

You understand me.
Goodbye.

And so, related to everything
that was written, we ask that

the head of the board
send commission soon.

Nothing without the money. Now
leave us alone, you see we have work?

- What is it?
- He's asking again.

Here you are.
And you don't have to pay me.

I think the business will
be closed anyway.

Thank you, Mr. Rupcic.

So mister writer,
all your stuff is here.

Madam, I'll pay you in a
few days, be patient.

Be patient...you haven't paid me in
3 months and I have to be patient?

I could have a new lodger, I'm a poor
widow, I live thanks to that money.

I assure you, I'll pay you everything
as soon as I get a job.

You and a job! You're looking for it
but you're hoping not to find it.

And what job are you capable of?
Come on, please!

Let me go!
I'm still a lodger here!

Lodger?! Alright!

I won't let anyone annoy me!

- Good afternoon.
- Good afternoon.

Well miss, how it's going?

Same as you.

- No luck.
- What can we do?

Times are like that, people
aren't interested in books.

I think so too.

You have many books?

Whole shelves at home.

All yours?

No. My father's.

And you?

No. This is all I have.

Why did you stand so close to me?
When we're close together,

selling will be much
harder for both of us.

- It's a little bit cold.
- Yes.

Here.

Take this.

- Don't, that's too much.
- No, I have so many scarfs,

I don't really need this one.

- How can I repay you?
- It's not important. Maybe I will ask you

to sell our books sometimes.

Here, I'll give my phone number.

3, 0, 6, 4.

- What's your name?
- Sonja.

- How much are you asking for these books?
- Whatever you're willing to give.

Madam, please, that girl that was
standing here, do you know

- where she lives?
- Son, I know as much as you do.

But she often comes here.

As your Mayor, I'm bothered by all
the problems of this town.

Cause you are the roots of this
town, and foundation of it all

commerce, economy, industry,
food production and culture.

You are the bloodflow of this town,

it's driving force.

And at the same time,
while you make this town alive,

it's not capable to give you

even basic resources
for normal living.

That's why, my fellow citizens,
ladies and gentlemen, I came here,

to do everything, with your help,

to make your life better
and more bearable.

But you must realize, that even
we who preside in this town,

encounter so many problems.

We're now in a big economic
crisis that has overtaken,

not just our country,

but the whole of Europe.

But, in spite of that,
we invest a lot of effort to

solve problems...that are
of basic importance to you.

Where you're going to live
and what work you'll be doing.

And because of that,
my fellow citizens,

I call you to follow us,

because we're taking care
of your own good.

And don't forget
that old folk proverb,

"After the rain,
sun will show up!"

Madam, did that girl, Sonja,
come here?

- You remember her?
- I do. She didn't.

If you care so much, you should
wait here. Maybe she'll show up.

Excuse me sir, I must ask you
to sleep some other place.

Here is strictly forbidden.

You think I'm doing this
because I like it?

I know but I am the park
keeper and I must warn you.

If the police find you here,
you'll end up in jail for drifting.

Let them come! At least
I'll sleep on expense of the state.

Is that you, Mr. Rupcic?

Mr. Gajski!

What are you doing in that uniform?

Well, I closed my business
because of the debts.

I entered in public service.
It's much safer that way.

Paycheck is certain.

What can we do?
Times are like that.

Alright, I'll find another place,
I don't want to get you in trouble.

Wait! Well... I know one place,
but it's not comfortable.

What comfort do I need?

And don't tell anyone about this.

And just for a night or two.

Or I'll be in trouble
if someone hears about this.

Don't worry, Mr. Rupcic.

Here. Abandoned building
of the Central Bank.

260 rooms are completely empty.

Building is sealed but
I know how to enter.

- No one comes here?
- Just some officials, occasionally.

But no one at this time.

Not there, here.

Entrance is a little bit odd
but that's the only way to get in.

Help me.

Come on, pull it up.

Just come after me.

You see. Who knows who
can easily find the way in.

- Just don't tell anyone.
- Don't worry.

I won't go further. You can
settle yourself as you wish.

And like I said,
only for one night or two.

Alright. Thank you, Mr. Rupcic.

Central. Can I help you?

I need one number
just I'm not sure that...

I'll connect you with group A.

Group A. Controlled numbers.
Hello, how can I help you?

I need a number of one girl. Her name's
Sonja, I think she lives with her father.

- 3064.
- Yes! That's her number! Thank you!

Hello. Daddy, see this miracle!
Phone is broken but it rings. Hello!

Hello. Who's there?

Is that you, Sonja?

I'm the one from the market,
I was selling books. You remember?

It's unbelievable, it's strange
we are talking.

- Where are you calling from?
- From the abandoned Central Bank.

I got your number by a miracle.
Please, tell me where do you live?

Chestnut Street 97.

Hello. Hello!

Chestnut Street 97...

Salute to the Saviour!

Salute to the Saviour!

My ladies and gentlemen,

I'm happy to see that our mission
is becoming a reality.

The ones who weren't on our
side are joining us now.

The ones who are against us,
disappear one by one.

That day is not far, when
we'll be only us and no one else.

And now tell me, what is
with professor Boskovic?

He will die tonight, Great Saviour.
His address is Chestnut Street 97.

His daughter is with him.

- Somebody's upstairs!
- Get him!

Get him!

It was right here, sir.

I was standing upstairs.

Chief, there's no trace of
what we're looking for.

No trace of any banquet
or anyone's presence.

But that can't be true,
they were really here.

I saw them.

Come with me, please.

Let's go!

Now you'll see where they
stock their food.

But it was all here.

And maybe they killed
professor Boskovic already.

I found his apartment
ravaged, this morning.

I'm sure at the professor's
apartment, if he's alive,

we'll find everything in order.

Believe me sir, this is serious.
And they are a danger to us all.

Sir, it's already afternoon,
I've been on my feet all morning,

and I have a busy
night ahead of me.

Go and get some sleep.

Enough.

Enough! Stop it!

I know very well who you
are and what you're up to!

But it won't work!

That's some spy!
We should show him!

Stop it! Stop it!

Let that man go.
I will take care of him.

Come on, let's go.

I am professor Martin Boskovic.

Professor Boskovic is murdered.

I'm not yet.

I anticipated their attack,
so I prepared to escape.

Your phone call was a signal
that it was time to move.

Why didn't you
inform the police?

You saw how they believed you.

Here we are.

I moved to a house with my
friends who now live abroad.

Please.

Come in, come in.

This is my daughter, I
believe you already met.

Do come in.

Mr. Gajski, what do you do?
What's your occupation?

I studied philosophy. Then tried
to write but with no success.

I don't do anything really,
I am unemployed.

Philosophy?

Have you read a book by Ert
Ertrus "Warehouse of Rat King"?

No.

The book was written 400
years ago in Germany.

Author was burned at
the stake, in Bremen.

Like you're not some writer, I'm not
some scientist. People don't believe me.

Or they laugh when they
hear what I am doing here.

But maybe we could together,
join, you and me...

Science is not my bright side.

All the same. I'm offering you
a position as my assistant.

If you accept, you must live here.

It would be my honor but
I'm afraid I wouldn't be much help.

Now if you'll excuse me.

- So, can I consider you as my assistant?
- You may, professor.

We'll talk later about what
lies ahead for us.

Ert Ertrus.
"Warehouse of King Rat".

Rat. That cunning and dark
creature can rule the man's mind.

It rules the secrets of
underground where it's hiding...

Has a power of transforming
its own shape.

They have hands, legs, wear suits,
have faces, eyes, movements

so that they do not differ
from human at all.

Pest, hunger, wars, raids relish them.

Then rats gathered,
secretly transformed,

working as people.

You'll speak with them,

not knowing...
what they are.

They steal and sell with gaining profit
understandable for a honest man.

They deceive with burnish of their suit
and liquidity of their talk.

They loot and burn, spy, they're
surrounded by wealth.

They eat and drink a lot.
And most of all, they love power.

In time of crisis,
Saviour comes among them,

Guinean big rat.

He gives them power that
humans can't understand.

Have a seat.

What do you think?
Did the experiment work?

If you're looking for
rat poison, then, it did.

I'm not looking for a weapon for
rat animals, but for rat people.

Can you believe, that night in the bank,
you were not surrounded by people.

What if they were rats
disguised as people?

I'm trying to produce
indicator B.

It's purpose is so the matter
found can be traced,

even the smallest
trails of rats in people.

And kill them.

Chemicals that I need, disappear
over the night from the stores.

If you wish, I can find them.

Think about it.

It won't be safe.

Working with me, you'll draw
attention of the whole crowd.

They'll try to kill you more
than they'll try to kill me.

And why do you need that so much?

A great number of rats are
in my place, so I need it to...

Why didn't you say that
right away? And I noticed that.

So many of them have breeded, lately.

- You know, I'm renting rooms...
- Alright, alright...

I must warn you right away,
expenses of supplying...

- Don't worry, I'll pay for everything.
- Alright, alright...

Come in two days.
We'll work something out.

Sonja, what's a matter?

I don't know.

On the shelf, between medicaments.

Some rat.

Those eyes, it looked right at me.
I feel so sick.

I never felt something
like this before.

Come, you'll feel better.

What happened, sir?

You have rats here in this dump.

What rats in our restaurant?

Real rats, you idiot!

There.

Sonja is not in danger anymore.

Like nothing happened.

People in the restaurant.
You remember, what did they look like?

Everything seemed normal.

Now he's obsessed with
devouring of his own kind.

Rat cannibal.

Tonight we'll put him in
the sewer.

This one first, then more of them.

Why did you kill those rats?

That's our job.
We're from public utilities.

Sonja, what are you doing here?

Well, I came outside.

I was worried about you.

Sonja. Sonja!

Did she really look like me?

Yes, very.

What was she wearing?

I can't remember.

Saviour.

When he disappears
they become what they were.

From your story I can't understand
what you wanted to say.

Is it a murder or an accident?

First you say that professor Boskovic
could be bitten by some animal

some rat. Then, that he's
victim of some organization.

Either can be true.

If someone dies when bitten by
an animal, in criminal practice,

we treat that like an accident.

But if those animals have a
collusive plan of action then that

cannot be an accident.

If I remember well, you already
took us to the Bank to show us

the headquarters of some
secret underground organization.

Yes.

I just couldn't even
imagine that members of that

organization could be rats.

And that so many people are
already in their service.

Sir, you've too gone far.

- Something new?
-Nothing you haven't seen yourself, chief.

- Pack everything.
- Alright.

Receive my most sincere
condolences, miss. Sir.

Let me express my deepest condolences
in this sad moment for all of us.

- Who are these people?
- I don't know.

I never seen them before.

Let's go.

Let's hurry.

Please, keep this between us.

I've noticed myself that
some strange things are

going on there lately.

That's not an isolated case,
mister Mayor.

They're holding some
significant points in town.

- And with the chief of police...
- You leave that to me.

I'll take care of that.

Tell me, can you continue to
work on that indicator by yourself?

Maybe I could.

I learned a lot from the
late professor.

- Just as you know...
- About the chemicals, don't worry.

I'll get them.

We should stay in contact.
And please, when you come

the next time, don't come in the
main entrance, come in the postern.

Through the backyard. Announce
yourself to my personal secretary.

That person is of my full trust.

Come. I'll show you.

I'm sorry. In 5 minutes I have
a very important meeting.

I really don't know if I
can thank you enough.

You will, when we
succeed, young man.

- Goodbye.
- Goodbye.

You know what this means?

Your father produced
that indicator after all.

They came to destroy this
and they all died.

We don't know what
the professor did that night.

- Should we call the police?
- No.

Only the Mayor can know
about this.

I'll remove these.

I don't know anything
about that.

I can only inform mister Mayor
that you are here.

What was your name again?

Gajski. Ivan Gajski.

I'm sorry. Mister Mayor
is not even here.

He just went out.

And if you can't wait,
write what you have to say,

fill the application and
give it to me.

Like he couldn't have
left me some note.

We should go there
again tomorrow.

Who knows what's
going on there.

And maybe he's dead too.

Salute to the Saviour!

Please sir, tell me where's the man
who came in to your apartment.

Who are you?
What is it with you?

Maybe he's here.

Sir, can you explain to
me what you want?

Who are you looking for?

He's here somewhere.

What is it? Who are
you looking for, sir?

Listen, who gave you
the right to do that?

We should call the police.

Not the police, that man is insane.
We should call the hospital.

Please, help me.
He must have escaped here.

What are you looking for, anyway?

Monster-man, a rat!

Go to hell, sir.

If rats bother you,
catch them by yourself.

Be reasonable. That's humans
with the powers of the rats.

If I kill their leader,
they're done.

Maybe you have a rat
in your brain, eh?

- What are you doing here?
- He's looking for some rat.

- Take him to the asylum.
- Come on, go away.

- And you. Come with me.
- I'm not going anywhere!

- I'm not going anywhere!
- Sir!

Hey stop! What are you doing?
Leave that man alone.

Mister Mayor!

Gentleman is my friend.

- Get me a car.
- Yes sir, mister Mayor!

- Everything is alright, it's alright!
- Mayor.

He got away.
And I almost got him.

Who, Mr. Gajski?
What is it with you?

Saviour.

Here.

This belongs to him.

Fantastic!

Why'd you do this by yourself?
Why didn't you inform me?

I was looking for you.
Your secretary didn't tell you?

My dear Mr. Gajski,
she was one of them.

I'm surrounded by them.
I cannot be sure anymore.

Don't be surprised that I'm
alone here now.

Lately I often get out
at night by myself.

I feel that something
is going on.

I know that I have to do
something, just don't know what.

Professor Boskovic could save us,
he knew everything.

Actually, he produced
indicator B.

Well, why didn't you
tell me that right away?

You're the saviour of this town.

Car is here, mister Mayor.

Let them take this gentleman home.
We must meet tomorrow,

- come in my office.
- Thank you, mister Mayor.

To the Flower Square, please.

Great Saviour, they told me
to guard the Bank.

But they haven't told me that
you have meetings there, by night.

Man was without a roof over his
head and I just wanted to help.

There. That "help" is
giving you away.

It proves that you remained
what you were. Execute it!

What is it, Mr. Gajski?

Like you didn't expect
that this could be me?

Now you see that we are
everywhere and on every position.

In spite of your indicator.

Don't be afraid Mr. Gajski.
We're more human than any of you.

Our bond with them just gives
us supernatural power.

You'll have a close encounter with us,
like your friend, Mr. Rupcic.

Or daughter of professor
Boskovic, that time in the restaurant.

All our kind has gone through this.
That bonds us. It gives us power.

Soon or after, everybody
will be with us.

From today there will exist
another Gajski, beside you.

Ours.

And loyal to us,
like your fiancee.

Have you noticed any
difference between

yours and our Sonja?

Ours is more regardless, perhaps.

But she's more of a woman.

Mr. Gajski, like you don't
have nothing to say.

We are old friends.

We'll see each other more from now on,
besides, we'll have the same cause.

Execute it!

Ivan, don't go home! They're
already there. They occupied everything.

I barely managed to escape.

I know who you are.

You're not Sonja.

Ivan, what's wrong with you?

Ivan...

Who was messing with this?

No one. You know that
I don't understand that.

Come.

Come.

I'm dying and there's no hope
at all for you.

As long as the new Saviour appears.

And he will come.
In our time of crisis.

He will come, soon maybe.

He will come.
