The Time of Honor season 5

previously... -Forget it.

What are you hiding there?

Bronek... I'm going back to acting.

So we have our Aniela.

Tomorrow you're being posted to Warsaw, one floor above me.

Major, was that order genuine? To lay down our arms?

Yes. We meet here in a week. I won't inform you again.

-If I don't come you know what to do. -We're going home from a camp.

OK. Hop in the back.

The note on the wall episode 55

Wake up, back there. Get those bikes out.

Wake up!

-Bolek. -That's your lot.

We can't take you any further.

-Where are we? -That's the River Olza.

Before the war it used to be Poland.

It still should be then.

Is he always so gabby?

-Thank you. -Forget it.

I mean it. I really mean it.

-Sure. Take care, boys. -Thank you.

God bless. Or whatever you believe.

God bless.

-Hello. -Hello. Where to?

-We're going home. -Where from.

-From a camp. -Got your papers?

There you go.

Polish, I mean in Polish.

-But we're coming back from Germany. -Go to Cieszyn. They'll decipher it.

We'll sort it now. Jan Markiewicz. Father - Jan. Mother - Roza.

-Born in Warsaw, in 1920. -They'll decipher it in Cieszyn.

Corporal, you taking the piss?

Corporal sir, it's all clearly here.

-Boleslaw Pustulka from Radzymin. -Where?

-Radzymin. Is that a problem? -What street?

-Kreta St. -And I live in Wawelska St.

-Jan Rybka. 5, Wawelska St. -Boleslaw Pustulka, 20, Kreta St.

Sit down boys.

Fancy a smoke?

Because of the political situation,

I order you to lay down your arms and return to normal life.

Signed Colonel Rzepecki, Armed Forces Delegation for Poland.

It's official,

so I had to read it.

Anyone who wants to may leave, no questions asked.

The Armed Forces Delegation has given us the right to lay down our arms.

Who wants to leave?

Thank you. I don't know how long it will last,

but I don't think we should give in.

We should try to strike.

To make ourselves known.

Where we aren't expected. In 5 minutes we attack the Militia.

Hello.

-I'd like to talk to Mr Korytowski. -Who?

Kazimierz Korytowski.

-I understand he's employed here. -Ah, you want Comrade Zawisza?

I beg your pardon?

I'm glad you came. Come with me.

That's your recruitment slip.

Take it to the Personnel Department.

-Thank you. -Wait a moment.

This is for you. Real American chocolate.

-Give it to a child. -I have to see Wanda, help me.

Kazimierz,

I told you. I don't even know if Wanda's alive.

You don't believe me.

Report for work on Monday at 8 am.

Thank you.

"Why tell me what I know?"

"I know men are a race of crocodiles."

"Why tell me what I know?"

"I know men are a race of crocodiles."

"I know men are a race of crocodiles."

-Open up, they're going to Poland. -Thanks.

See you later, brother.

It's Poland, brother.

-What's the matter with you? -I felt the need to kiss it.

Get up.

Quite a tough welcome from Poland.

Let's go. Come on.

Wait.

-Come on. -Wait!

Let's see who's first, mate.

I know you.

How many inside? Two. Pietrzak and Kostecki.

They're eating. I wanted to eat but...

Pietrzak made me keep guard.

Weapons?

Laughable. 2 pistols and a rifle.

Go ahead and attack. But could you just

knock me about a bit? For appearances.

I don't want to lose this job.

-Is that OK? -Sure.

Hands up. I said hands up.

Where are your weapons?

-Is that it? -There's only 3 of us.

-What you eating? -From the Yanks.

I see United Nations relief is going where it's needed.

-I didn't ask for anything. -But we're asking.

Take it all, men.

We'll try a little walk tomorrow.

-No, I'm too weak. -Just to the door and back.

It'd be like Berlin to Warsaw for me.

Remember? Frau Fischer said the same.

And you had her dancing around the garden again.

Frau Fischer...

This war's messed everything up.

-The major says you want to go back. -He says too much for a doctor.

Where do you want to go?

Back home, to Breslau.

They're saying...

They say it's going to be Poland.

I know.

I can't go with you, Otto.

-I have to go to my boys in Warsaw. -I know.

Eat.

Coffee, gentlemen.

Genuine coffee.

Yes, it was worth it.

Do you have your doubts, Ruda?

-It looked like a robbery to me. -What do you mean?

They stole it. Not us.

-You mean we robbed the robbers? -It was for us, not them.

-It's ours. -I feel better already.

-Ruda, what's up with you? -What's up with me?

Ask what's up with us. What are we doing in this forest?

-If you don't like it you can go. -It isn't so easy.

I can't.

I can't live back there and it's getting worse here.

Gentlemen. Everybody out.

-Where are we? -We've arrived.

Jesus Christ, he's right.

Just don't get on your knees again.

Express service, eh? 8 hours from Katowice.

-I can take the two bikes, then? -Thank you.

-Thank you. -All the best.

Home.

Nothing smells like our chimney.

Still standing.

-Maybe go by yourself. -Are you crazy? You're staying.

-Don't think it's such a good idea. -Best one of the whole war.

How do I look?

-Your boy might get a fright. -Come on.

Jadzia, it's me.

Bolek...

Bolek!

-My boy. -Don't cry, Daddy's home.

Janek, come in. My best friend.

-Saved my life in the Uprising. -Thank you.

I think that's enough.

Come in, please.

Watch out, you idiots.

Maidens' Vows

Well, I never.

-Is it you? -Yes.

-Disappointed? -No, just surprised.

Shall we sit down?

Let's go to my room upstairs.

This gentleman has come to see me.

Wanda Ryszkowska work here?

-What do you mean? -Does Wanda Ryszkowska work here?

Yes. But the way they work here's enough to make a chap feel queasy.

-She came once and then vanished. -But she's on the poster.

She just vanished, sir. Comrade. Vanished into thin air.

She missed the rehearsal yesterday. Everyone was waiting for her.

-When's the next rehearsal? -I beg your pardon?

Are you deaf? When's the next rehearsal?

-This afternoon. -Right.

Marta, may I?

-Hello. -You have five minutes.

Go on then.

You have something to say?

Yes.

Since we met I can't stop thinking...

Do you believe in all this?

-What do you mean? -All this propaganda?

I don't spread propaganda.

Is it normal to be surrounded by Russian communists?

Do you know them? Why talk like that about them?

For God's sake, Celina! Don't you see it?

Don't you see those posters, those mugs stuck up all around?

Are you talking about Dabrowska, who we're publishing?

Do you read the newspapers?

-We don't publish any here. -Well someone does.

Someone writes those bloody lies.

Don't you feel responsible for what we fought for?

Responsible?

I did what you thought was right.

My father, the commander and you. All brave and virtuous.

And nothing came of it. Warsaw's a ruin, my friends

are dead, and you lecture me? Shouldn't we think about that?

-Perhaps we were wrong. -What about faith?

-Faith in whom? -In friends, Celina.

Fine coming from you.

-It's not about us. -I know it's not about me.

Let's not get worked up.

I have to get back to work, to my propaganda.

I'm editing The Magic Mountains.

-You're leaving. -Yes, sir. When? -Right now.

There was an attack on the Militia in Zarnowiec. Investigate it.

-Colonel, this afternoon I was... -I have my reasons.

It's was a gang from the forest.

I think it was one of our saboteurs.

Leave immediately.

Yes sir.

Are you looking for someone?

-Sister Jozefa. -What's it about?

-It's personal. -This is a hospital,

-not a place for personal business. -I'll be outside.

Wladyslaw.

Come here please.

May I?

There are dressings,

sulphonamides,

disinfectants

and American vitamins.

-Thank you, sister. -The army get all the antibiotics.

Be careful of that woman. She likes to run to the major.

I'll be careful.

Thank you again, sister. That'll do us for a while.

-Sent a letter to your mum? -Where to?

What do you mean? l left word for you.

But I haven't looked in a month.

Your mother's alive.

She's in a German work camp. The Americans liberated her.

-How do you know? -The Red Cross sent a list.

Do you hear? Your mother's alive and well.

There's a mission going tomorrow. You could write something.

Hi.

-I was afraid I wouldn't make it. -A few more days

-and I'm sorted. -And then what?

To Sweden

and then Argentina.

Ernest, take me with you.

I've saved some dollars.

Just you?

Just me.

I'll try and arrange it.

Same place next week.

Could these fingers be improved?

Of course.

Caught us napping, the bastards. It was supposed to happen a week ago,

-the army were waiting. -Maybe one of yours squealed.

No chance, sir.

I mean comrade. We're all pre-war communists.

-They uncovered our mole. -How do you know?

Because they left us that.

-I think it was to tell us something. -Tell you what?

That all grasses better watch out.

Really?

What did they take apart from arms?

Comrade commandant, reporting...

KaroI?

Is it really you?

My comrade!

Karol.

We know each from the underground. From the People's Army, right,

-KaroI? -That's right.

What's so funny?

Go on.

"I'll never forget our love, an invincible bond."

"Flee."

-"Flee?" -"Uncle's on the warpath."

Wanda, it's a comedy.

-You put so much sadness into it... -Maybe that's how it should be.

-It's the first post-war production. -Exactly. Post-war. After the war.

People want to relax. Help them to forget.

That's why they'll come. Try it one more time. Wanda,

play it gently,

with your fingertips.

-Well? -Fine, I wasn't tailed.

Not so good in there.

Crawling with secret police.

Krawiec didn't come.

Arrested.

Arrested.

Send all the boys home. They're to cut all contacts.

We'll find them if necessary.

And you should disappear for a while.

What about you?

I don't think I have a choice.

No goodbye for an old comrade?

Wozniak.

-Why that pantomime? -Well, a security service captain.

-Major Halbe would have been shocked. -Listen.

You listen. We're all in the same boat,

but I've got it tough, and you're in clover.

I also want to get on in life.

-What do you want? -To join the Security Service.

-I want officer's training. -You, an officer?

Karol. This country will get the elite it deserves.

Farewell, comrade. Back to Warsaw.

Let's go.

Feeling refreshed?

My head hurts a little.

-Have I slept the whole day? -You bet.

What about you?

Had some catching up to do. Jadzia did too.

Hungry? There's bread and sausage, but no more vodka.

Just as well.

Follow me,

I'll show you something.

Sleep well?

-Not so sure. -My Jadzia,

total emancipation. Set up this pressing service herself.

-Got a big order from the town hall. -It came just like that?

No, but at least there's business.

First-class stiffness.

Starched, not rinsed.

Where are you off to? Take a look.

-There are loads of orders. -No, I'm no expert.

-Me neither, but we can learn. -Bolek...

-What? -I'll find something else.

Listen we always said we'd start a business together.

Here it is.

-People say various strange things. -What will you do then?

I have to find my family first.

-Hello. -Hello.

Pencil and paper, please.

They you go.

5 zlotys.

-I don't have any change. -What now? What are we going to do?

Take that as well.

I'm looking for Lena Sajkowska and her child. Janek M. Radzymin.

Romek Sajkowski.

-I think I know you. -I doubt it.

-Your mug looks familiar. -Get away.

A senior officer, eh?

-Impossible. I wasn't in the army. -Whatever.

Save it for your interrogation.

Some advice,

since you're lying.

Make up a detailed story or they'll shoot you at once.

You won't last till your trial.

Do you know they'll hang us where we served?

If you were in Russia, you'll go to the Soviets;

in Poland, to the Poles.

You were in Poland, I remember. Krakow and Warsaw?

I worked on the Berlin railway.

The railway, you say?

You'll feel at home when they transport us

nach Osten then.

As the Fuhrer used to say: "Nach Osten"!

-Looking for someone? -Yes.

My brother. Romek Sajkowski. He lives here. Do you know where?

-What's his first name? -Romek.

Ask there. Some new people have moved in with them.

I knew everyone. There was no Romek. But now...

Thank you.

Hello, I'm looking for my brother.

Romek Sajkowski. I know he lives round here.

-Do you know where? -Romek? No. Maybe higher up.

Maybe Dziunia's boy up there?

-No, he's only three. Can't be him. -No, he's 20.

-Slim, brown hair. -No, there's no one like that here.

-Thank you. I'll ask higher up. -Unless you mean that Jew boy

who sleeps in the cellar. But he only comes back at night.

Not that Jew boy, right?

How do I know you're not lying?

I know the results of lying.

Truth and lies end up the same here.

Comrade lieutenant, he's talking about some buried gold.

Says he'll only tell an officer.

The door.

-What's with this gold? -I work for a bank in Breslau

and I know...

I can point out the place where an SS regiment hid our gold reserves.

What do you want in exchange?

Nothing. Just don't turn me over to the Poles.

-Guilty conscience? -No.

I don't have a guilty conscience. I just want to stay in Germany.

It's...

I'm sorry...

It's here somewhere.

That's the American zone.

But that shouldn't be

a problem for you, should it?

Take this.

-Why so late? -I had a few things to do.

Everyone has, don't they?

You summoned these boys for an 8.00 am muster, didn't you?

They trust you. You're their leader. You're responsible for them.

They trust you.

-Where's Ruda. -She stayed.

-What do you mean? -I don't know, she didn't say.

I tried to explain to her.

She needs a few days.

Sure.

-Michal? -I don't want to talk to you.

Mother's alive.

She's in Germany.

Who told you?

Sister Jozefa.

A list of survivors came from the Red Cross.

She's alive.

Tell me something.

Well?

-She's alive. -Can we write to her?

-I already have. -What did you write?

-That we're alive. -We're alive, Wladek.

After all this time and this war. We're alive. That's it.

-That's all? -And I told her not to come back.

What? What did you say?

Wladek.

Something's coming.

-Please let us through. -Pass.

-It's a matter of utmost importance. -You won't get in without a pass.

Maybe we can sort this out?

Don't shoot!

I'm Lars Rainer.

Chief of the Gestapo in Warsaw.

I want to talk to your commander.

I have important information.

I knew you'd find me here.

Lena's dead.

Your baby too,

What do you mean?

She's dead.

I saw her go into a house which collapsed on top of her.

I saw it.

I didn't see my father die, I abandoned him.

I didn't see my mother die, I abandoned her.

But I saw my sister die.

I saw it.

That's it.

That's it.

Do what you like with it.

No!

in the next episode... -The war's not over.

-Where you going? -To Warsaw.

-Is he going too? -The Hun's going home.

You want to meet people, enjoy life.

For me nothing has changed. I might be arrested any moment.

-I was afraid you wouldn't come. -I can't believe

Zawisza's never afraid.
