TIME OF HONOUR The Uprising

- Is it settled? - Not yet. - We're waiting.

- We've got a mission. - Picking up a civilian?

- We ought to be getting weapons. - It's a bribe.

- You won't fight! - Who are you? - A courier.

- What information? - Get me there as fast as you can.

THE W-HOUR Episode 2

Well?

He vanished.

- He's dead. Tell me the truth. - Calm down.

Right now I can't find him, but that doesn't mean anything.

- But you'd tell me if... - Right now

I wasn't able to locate him.

It'll be OK.

It'll be OK.

Hey, little one. Come here.

Crying and searching, that's all we have left.

- I know how you feel. - Do you?

The Soviets are closer every day.

Give me your hand... I'll bite you.

What's this? Are you leaving?

- Don't play dumb. - Go on.

Want a blessing? I'll sell one, cheap.

And you think the Ruskis will be giving out vodka?

- We'll see! - I doubt it.

Knapik, leave those horns. You're wearing your own!

- The Volksdeutches are taking off. - I know!

- Have you talked to Wanda? - Yes.

I knew she'd listen to you.

- She won't. - What?

I can't convince her.

Excuse me.

Hello. Where's Krawiec?

- We're waiting. - Did you see it? - What?

-Germans are bringing reinforcements. - What?

Columns of Wehrmacht are walking into the town.

- Fresh uniforms, fully armed. - What are you raving about?

Sit. The briefing in the Staff took longer.

- Is it decided? - We wait.

Don't they see it's the last moment? People will get arrested soon.

- What was the readiness for? - Quiet.

- It'll be too late. - It already is.

The Germans are bringing columns of Wehrmacht.

I saw them.

Do you really think I like coming here with the same news?

Assignments.

Bronek, your platoon will take the courier to the Commander.

Janek... you'll prepare military cards for the company.

- What do you mean? - What didn't you get?

The Uprising ends conspiration. We fight as a regular army.

So they've decided.

That's it for today. Same time tomorrow.

Hold on... What about other platoons?

- In readiness. - But... what do we tell them?

Keep them busy.

- We leave one by one. - I'll go first.

- Wlodek, stay. - Bolek, wait!

- How's your platoon? - The kids want to fight.

- And the older ones? - They'll do what needs to be done.

We both know it'll demand sacrifices. Watch out for them.

I'm saying this like a father, not a commander.

One of them is my son. Let's keep this between us.

Don't treat him better, I just wanted you to know.

I could have guessed.

They were walking this way.

- Can you relieve me today? - Why?

- Those cards will be a handful. - Lena will help you.

- Still, we might not make it. - I'm sure it was here.

What's with the paper work? You were always first in the field.

- Romek disappeared. - What do you mean?

He's just vanished. I have to check all the prisons.

Bolek will help me.

OK, go.

Thanks.

Obersturmbahnf�hrer!

It's me, Wozniak! Remember me?

- Don't beat me! - Halt!

This is some mistake!

- Why has this man been arrested? - He was robbing a German store.

- I was shopping! - Silence!

I'll interrogate him myself.

That messenger yesterday couldn't get her eyes off you.

- What? - Don't pretend. She fancies you.

- Which messenger? - The one with plaits.

She came to call off the alarm.

Didn't you like her?

No. Not my type.

I prefer more mature women.

I wasn't stealing anything. Like I said,

I was shopping at Meinl's when that rabble stormed in,

smashing windows and stealing.

I am an innocent victim and an eye-witness.

And I got beat up by the police. That's what you get for being honest.

The report says you were...

carrying a Hungarian salami.

So you were looting.

Oh, come on, Herr Obersturmbahnfurer...

It was lying on the ground, so I picked it up.

Remember how I ran a caf� here? Everything was richtig.

Right. And where have you been hiding from us all that time?

- Me? - Don't "me" me!

- We sent out warrants for you. - Oh, right, I saw them.

Not a bad picture, one could say...

In Warsaw.

Where?

First I moved to the country, but I didn't like it, so I thought...

This is my place, not that backwater. And I returned.

I'm living quietly, business is small, but I'm alive.

And I serve the Lord, as a verger in Praga.

A verger?

So... what will happen to me?

Bambo, set up another four.

- You're good. - Wait till you see me shoot.

- You'll let me have a go too, right? - Later!

Shoot.

- Again. I didn't know it swerves. - No way.

- Everyone has one shot. - It's your gun, you know it.

And who challenged me? It was your idea.

That's right. My turn.

- Not like that. Press harder here. - No tips!

- Why not? - I'll manage.

- Well... - Well.

Respect.

- What are you doing? - Waiting for you.

- And wasting ammo? - We're training.

- Shooting? - Are we planning to play football?

It was your idea, right? See those birch trees?

The ones far off?

Take your platoon and run, now.

- Are you serious? - Yes, I am!

Great.

Follow me! Poet!

- And you? - But... - Should I tell your father?

Wait.

You're into Wolf, or what?

I need to run.

All right. This is it.

Out.

- You, here? - I was to show up.

- Who told you to? - It was an order.

Join the guys.

Please stay here. We're waiting at the agreed spot.

Have a seat.

When will the Commander arrive?

I'm Capt. Ostrolecki from the HQ.

- I'll talk only to Bor-Komorowski. - It's impossible.

- Excuse me? - The Commander can't see you now.

My information will influence the decision about the uprising.

You don't get it. The decision has been made.

Say again?

- I need to inform... - Obviously you're too late.

The uprising cannot start!

I'm begging you!

I hear what they talk about in there.

They don't have weapons, you'll be fighting with bare hands.

- It'll be a slaughter! - Don't complicate things.

You're an actress, for God's sake! Not a soldier.

If you don't believe in the uprising,

- why did you agree to live here? - Where was I supposed to live?

Besides...

I want to know when it starts. Don't you see?

I want to be close to you.

If I was younger...

I'd probably do the same.

Thank you.

So, you presented your arguments?

It's not a matter of who's right.

- Your uprising is a gift to Stalin. - Nonsense.

Don't interrupt. There's no telling that.

- Everything could change. - No matter what we do, we've lost.

Kids like her will go to waste.

- I'm 16. - You'll be in August.

Same as my daughter.

Who's probably at home with her mother.

Both of them are dead.

Do me a favour. When it starts, I want to fight in your unit.

OK, but we've got no extra guns. We're to escort you to your quarters.

I'll find my way. I missed Warsaw.

Can we pull over?

Bolek, pull over!

- We'll send a messenger. - See you.

See you.

You can't pass.

Halt! Ausweiss.

Warsaw will be defended.

Administration employees are to stay in the city.

- What? - You want to disobey an order?

Do something.

What can I do? We're going back!

Where's your bike?

- We're not going to the beach. - No?

There's a machine gun to get. Coming with us?

Meaning whom?

The platoon.

Why isn't this coming from Wladek?

Because the idiot can't handle people!

I knew it. You had a fight. And you're going around him.

Do you know how many guns we have?

We'll do it ourselves if he won't.

Did you nominate yourself?

Celina, please.

- You too, Bambo? - It's not like it's wrong.

The commander will be happy, you'll see.

There's no convincing the nurse, is there?

The nurse decides for herself.

Where's that gun?

Let's go.

And you're a little rascal!

This way.

Please come in. Like I promised.

A brand new machine gun.

- Where did you get it? - Who needs such questions?

- Tell us, or the deal is off. - OK, cool it.

From an officer retreating from the East.

Where would he get a brand new gun?

- Don't be picky! - He was selling, so I bought it.

- What's there to... - How much?

I paid 40 thousand, I'll sell it without profit.

OK, OK.

I'll give it for free, but you have to take me.

- Have you been sworn in? - No, so what?

- It's not my call. - There's no time.

Wladek will say yes.

We'd have to ask him.

- We'll talk tomorrow. - All right.

Take it.

Let's pack it and go.

- The others will go green with envy. - Shut up.

- Why? - Just walk! - What's this?

- Beat it! - Striplings.

This cart sucks. We can't just parade like this. Guys!

- Hide the cart. - Bambo, catch a ride.

Celina, go home. The fewer of us, the safer.

- It's not official, I don't... - Go home!

Help me!

Take Celina!

You'll be all right. Look at me!

- Look at me! - They're closing the street off!

Hide at my place. Come on!

Let's go!

Quickly, here. Hurry!

- Rysio, it's you? Who's with you? - Friends!

- Don't go out, there's a round-up. - OK, mom.

The good thing is... at least we got the gun.

- You think this is good? - I said "at least".

- It's my fault. - You'll bear the consequences.

- How did you know? - I'm your brother and commander!

Bambo, did you rat?

They've blocked the quarter.

- And her? - To the hospital.

- Where? The quarter's shut off! - I don't know!

Step back, boys.

You, bring towels, soap and water.

This way.

It will be OK. Easy, easy...

How is she?

- What are you staring at, son? - Take me. I know how to fight.

My husband died in '39. Men in this family fight for their country.

And die. Is he your only son?

We've got no weapon for him.

From the Bolshevik war. My uncle's.

All right, come.

Not a trace. He's not on Pawiak, on Danilowiczowska...

He's just vanished. I even checked if...

If what? Tell me!

There was a big transport to Auschwitz yesterday.

But I doubt Romek ended up there.

- We can't check that. - I checked.

- How? - The train slows down by the signal,

people throw out notes or anything to leave a trace for their families.

I've looked there. Nothing from Romek.

I guess it's a good thing, right?

God... How much more can one take?

I promise I'll find him. I swear.

The war will be over in a few days, and we'll be together.

It was somewhere here. "Kosciuszko" station or something...

People of Warsaw, to arms! Stand by the State National Council

and the Underground Army! Attack the Germans!

Thwart their plans to destroy public buildings!

Help the Red Army cross the Vistula! Send messages, show routes!

May a million of Warsaw citizens become a million soldiers

- who see off the German invaders... - Bloody propaganda.

"A million soldiers". That's a good one.

Poet...

- what are you writing? - An idea for a poem.

A poem?

Have you lost it? You want to fight with a pen?

This is what you ought to fight with!

White Fang.

But that's been done.

- What's up? - The Krauts?

The Soviets are bombing!

Get away from the window!

- We're leaving. - Now? Are you mad?

Bambo, stay and secure the guns!

To the hospital, nearby!

Bombing victims!

Wounded!

- Will you come for them? And me? - You know...

It's not up to me.

But you saved us, Commander won't forget that.

I wanted to play too.

Be a musician. But more like the Negroes in America.

Straight to the operating room.

- How did it happen? - A shrapnel from a bomb.

- That too? - Yes, that too.

Lie down.

Maybe you'll have to stay here.

Lie down.

Rest!

Calm down.

- Want to lose your arm? - It's not good, you have to stay.

Did you rob a hospital?

Our platoon's ration.

I have to divide it between teams, so please wait and don't interrupt.

- Would you like some water? - Yes, please.

- This means I won't convince you? - To do what?

To change your mind.

- I've just changed it. - You did?

- You'll leave with mom? - No.

But I could fight as your fianc�e.

Thank you.

To the young couple. And the uprising.

- Any news? - Let the major be.

Thanks.

- To the young couple! - Congratulations!

- Best wishes! - Thank you.

This is my mom. You'll be living together.

- Good! At least I won't be alone. - Thank you.

Congratulations.

You finally did it.

- Let me dance with my fianc�e! - No! OK.

It'll be quieter in Ochota.

- Shall we dance? - Don't.

Who knows when we get the next chance?

Keep going, children.

What, the Krauts wouldn't take you?

- We weren't going to the Germans. - Where then? To the Ruskis?

Go on in.

Hurry!

Maybe you need a pail?

It's that wine. What was it, beet?

Beet? Georgian, first class. You should've drunk less.

You all started dancing, so I danced with the bottle.

- Why didn't you bring your wife? - Why didn't you bring her?

I sent her away. I thought the uprising would be any time now.

Today. At 17:00.

- At 17:00, what? - We start.

1st AUGUST, TUESDAY

Finally!

Don't worry, everything will be fine.

Everything is fine. That's right, Jas.

Bye now.

Gentlemen, pick up the weapons!

Wait for me here, I've got to deal with something.

You don't want me to come?

No, but thanks.

A memento of the Warsaw siege in 1939.

- I've recognized it. - Here.

I'll come after the uprising.

Next week we'll be strolling by the river.

- Please be careful. - I will.

- Any decisions? - How's Celina?

Better, I guess. The doctors are optimistic.

- Did they operate on you? - Just a procedure,

to clean the wound.

What news? Any specifics?

At 17:00.

- What? - Today at 17:00.

Go, it's getting late.

Bye.

- I'll get dressed. - You're staying.

I can't have you with that arm.

The doctor says he can let you go in 10 days.

It will be over in 10 days.

It's just a few days!

I'm sorry, I can't take you in this condition.

Mother would never forgive me. Get it?

- Tell me we'll come back. - Now you're afraid?

Of course we will come back.

We must go. They're waiting.

Go on. I'll see you at the factory.

- Well? - There's just 2 of them. Get back!

What now?

We wait for the rest of the guns.

What did you want to tell the Commander?

It's confidential, for Bor-Komorowski only.

It doesn't matter now.

- What took you so long? - We had to waste a patrol.

- No shooting ahead of time! - Zoliborz is fighting already.

What do we do?

Give out weapons. Armbands on.

We're on. Janek, let's take them down.

- Not on the street! - There's no other way!

- There is! Across the ghetto! - I'll assign you to the Staff.

- I've got a unit. - They left you!

- Focus! - Don't die.

I've got good news.
