Do you know what this means?

Something's in the works.

If we only knew what
they're planning now.

In principle,

we know, don't we?

You are a pessimist, Doctor.

No, just a realist.

I know my age
and state of health.

Besides, I've seen more than enough.
More than I care to see...

S.O. 5 Registration. Braun.

Yes.

Five rooms and kitchen.

Central heating, yes.
Yes, it will be ready tomorrow.

Yes, right, that kind of apartment.

A landscape, yes.

Right, Dutch, right.

Address.

Slovenska 23.

Slovenska 23.

That's the Lederer's flat.

Yes, yes...

On the second floor.

We're liquidating ourselves.

S.O. 5 Registration.
Braun speaking.

Yes. A studio apartment.

Yes, right.

A lady.

Towels, yes. I understand.

Goodbye, Doctor.

REMOVALS

Tormenting a poor dumb creature again.

"Tormenting a poor dumb creature again."

Satisfied with your hairdresser, Madam?

Yes, now I go to Monsieur Tony.

Isn't that the phone?

Honza, bring me the phone.

Telephone!

Hurry up, Honza!

Don't take all day.

That's it.
That's lovely.

No, not today.
Tomorrow.

As usual.
Bye bye.

I've noticed a number of times.

I hung around last time,
just to make sure.

She doesn't wear a brassiere.

Mrs Kratochvílová,
what is this here?

What if there was a house search?

I'm the Civil Defence Warden.
I'm responsible for everything.

Where am I to put them, then?

You and your regulations!

Where am I to keep the rabbits?

Soon there'|| be nothing to eat.

Don't get excited, Mrs Kratochvílová.

Think of your blood pressure!

Don't get excited, Mrs Kratochvílová!

- Where am I to put them?
- I don't know, but I'll help you.

- What am I supposed to do with them?
- Above all, don't forget the sand.

The sand!

Tomorrow, tomorrow, Mr Fanta.
We'll do it tomorrow.

Good morning!

He can go to hell, young man.

Yeah!

Hey there, Mister.

What's wrong?

Mister?

44-8-11. Hello?

44-8-11. Hello?

Stop playing with that hat.

We were so happy to see each other again.

He's my cousin,
a gamekeeper, you know.

He had his gun,
and we started fooling with it.

I'm sorry.

I'm not a surgeon.

And besides, I'm not allowed
to practice medicine.

I'm outside the law now.

That's just why...

I thought, being in the house,

you could practice some first aid.

I know you might not believe me.

But it's such bad luck, this cousin...

You expect me to
believe such nonsense?

Unfortunately, I don't...

really feel up to it.

You know, I'm a sort of
warehouseman now.

Isn't there someone else?

Vera, come here.

- You must get rid of it.
- I have to feed him now.

I don't know why
we have to do everything.

Get going.

Get going, you hear?

Not afraid, are you?

What are you staring at?

My hands are trembling.

Trembling, my hands...

Trembling, my hands...

Trembling.

Gauze!

You must hold him down.

- It didn't bother you, Mr...
- Šidlák. I'm used to it.

- What's your job?
- Butcher. At the slaughterhouse.

Then you've had better practice than me.

I did mostly laboratory work.

He'll cry out.

He'll need morphine.

I don't have any.

He'll scream!

I know you've done a lot,
but couldn't you...

- How old is he?
- 27. Why?

- Nothing.
- A lot depends on him, Doctor.

I was never interested in politics.

But, Doctor, someone's got to do it.

- You want to leave him here?
- Well, I don't have...

But you can't!
He must get some morphine.

You couldn't get it somehow, Doctor?

Don't even think it.
I can't, no.

I want nothing more to do with it.

I know it was a great risk for you.

I've done all I can.
You can't ask any more of me.

I've already told you.
I am outside the law.

So is he.

You won't find morphine anywhere today.

And I can't. I can't.

No, no. I can't.

Yes, Madam, Friday at two.
Goodbye.

Goodbye, Honzíček.
Goodbye, Anička.

- Good evening, Doctor.
- Goodbye.

Anička?

- Alright?
- Yes, Doctor.

Marta!

Doctor Veselý.

Yes, hello.

Yes, thank you.

Friday at seven.

Next Friday?
No, this Friday.

Good.

Yes. Very much.

Right. Goodbye.

Marta, Dostál called.

Friday at seven.

Daddy, who's a real hero?

A man who dies unnecessarily,

as opposed to those
who live unnecessarily.

Anička! Come here.

Why should I look for it?

What do I need morphine for?

After all, I'm a warehouseman.

And I did my duty.

Or no, that's nonsense.

What duty, exactly?

Whose?

A doctor's?
Or a warehouseman's?

Nothing makes sense now.

But I can't think differently.

I can...

do other things,
sweep streets, maybe.

But not think like somebody else, no.

I simply cannot stop thinking.

You'll always find somebody
who doesn't think at all.

And so he wants to think for the rest
and decide everything for them.

Life, death... simple, clear.

Death's a trifle,

unless it should happen to be

my own.

It doesn't even hurt.

No one is screaming.

And if there were?
Nobody would hear him.

From the start he's completely alone,

transplanted, marked.

It's really an act of mercy.

Look, you turned out
wrong somehow.

I don't like you.

You've got such a...
such a strange nose.

But... so it won't be

too complicated,
and cause you trouble,

I've made a dividing line,

a nice, simple one...

It's just bad luck

that you're on the wrong side.

You know?

Yes, I know, I know, gentlemen.

But I also know that such injustice,

hatred and apathy will
always come to light.

Historically, I'm an optimist...

but no longer for myself.

They haven't shot me in the back, no.

But it's much worse.

For they've left me my brain,
which has just been considering

some notion of duty
as to whether or not

I should try and get morphine
for God only knows who.

Me. Me, precisely.

But that's absurd, isn't it?

Why me?

But why, why?

But why?

Do the Wieners live here?

Helena!

A visitor to see you.

I can't stand it.

I can't stand it anymore.

I can't stand it.

Silence...

This is silence...

Braun!

I can't stand silence anymore.

I can't stand it.

Can't stand it.

I can't, can't stand it.

Well, goodbye.

Hello.

Hello, Braun.

I'm glad I've found you at last,
Dr Wiener.

I hope I'm not intruding.

Sit down.

Thank you.

- Well, what do you need, Braun?
- Morphine.

- I need some morphine.
- I see.

That's excellent.

I'm afraid you didn't quite understand.

It's nothing difficult to understand.

Every one of us sitting here,
what else do we need but morphine?

I meant something quite different.

- He's in great pain.
- I don't have any.

Sorry, a case of
cancer in the family.

Excuse me for a moment.

Thank you.

- Thank you.
- Have you known Emil long?

Yes.

10 or 15 years.

He was...

He is a fine person.

It's pleasant here.

Vltava, Vltava.

Waters so deep.

What will the waters bring?

What will they take?

How often will night follow day?
When will the Earth stop turning?

Terribly stupid.

Terribly stupid.

I'll have some coffee, please.

I'm not used to drinking.

- My head's spinning a bit.
- Freddie, a coffee!

As I said,
sorry I can't help you.

Those who have it
are glad to keep it.

- I must get some.
- Someone in the family?

Please, Doctor.
It's really an urgent case.

Medicine no longer interests me.

Philanthropy still less.

The gunshot wound is...

in a... very sensitive place.

He needs to be kept quiet.

Are you crazy?
Listen, man...

Sorry, but... how can you?

Two hours ago...

I operated...

on a sofa.

- First time in thirty years.
- But why... and with your asthma?

Try at the hospital.

It's for the chief, Růžička.
He's a friend.

Thank you.
I knew you'd help.

Wait, Braun,
let's have a cognac.

- I really can't. I must hurry.
- Freddie, two cognacs.

- Three.
- No, really, I don't want to.

It'll be here in a minute.

I wanted to ask, is there
anything I can do for you?

You were at my house, Braun,

and you saw Helena?

- I know, it's terrible.
- You know nothing!

It's more terrible
than you can imagine.

- You're afraid she'll try it again?
- I am, I am.

And just as afraid she won't succeed.

Hate is contagious.

More so than any plague.
And spreads by chain reaction.

New regulations have just come out!

New regulations!

New regulations!

New regulations.

New regulations.

Obligatory.

No... no... no...

No! No!

...one and one is one...

...one and one is... two...

But pretend it's nothing,
and get up,

and live through two minutes of fear...

live through two minutes of fear...

Pascal, the nations aren't listening.

They didn't assemble, see?

Have you had your pills?

Looking for someone?

I'm looking for...

Head Physician Růžička.

I must... I must speak
with Doctor Růžička.

With Doctor Růžička?

Well, sit down then.

- What are you looking for?
- Morphine.

And who are you?

Doctor Braun.

What do you want?

Morphine.

For whom?

- For a man in our building.
- Put him in Number 3.

- What Number 3?
- No, first to my office.

And what man do you want it for?

- Someone who can't get to a doctor.
- I'm not surprised.

- Excuse me, I'm feeling sick.
- You'll be alright with us.

Away! Get away!

Neutrons kill! Neutrons kill!

So you're Doctor Braun?

And you need morphine?

For a man in your house?

- Who can't get to a doctor?
- I need morphine, yes.

What is your real name?

Excuse me, I forgot.

Dr Wiener sent me to you.

Excuse me,
I'm not used to alcohol.

I'm not well.

Excuse me, Doctor.

We once worked
on medical problems together.

What do you need?

Two vials of morphine.

That's absurd, Doctor.

We have up to twenty suicides a day.

Most of them we save.

And you need two vials of morphine?

Here they are.

Our nation is fighting its way
towards the light.

We hope this will be a year
of victory and peace.

We all know that great sacrifices
will be required of everyone.

For without sacrifice,
there is no success.

And without courage and
unselfish devotion, there is no victory.

Without endurance and discipline,

no battle is ever won.

Therefore, let us close our ranks
even more firmly.

United in will and action,
in sacrifices and deeds,

we shall faithfully follow

our beloved Führer...

Oh, Doctor, it's you.

Why don't you turn on the light?

Wait, I'll do it.

Terrible stairs these, someone will
kill themselves one day.

- I can see quite well, thank you.
- I know, if ell once myself...

What's going on?

Come back here.
Come right back!

Quiet! Please, be quiet!

It's after ten o'clock!

- There are regulations.
- Leave me alone!

Madam, nobody understands!
I'm responsible for everything.

For everything, I tell you!

Come on, quick,
you little monster.

I warn you, Madam,
this is the last time.

It's after ten o'clock.
I won't have it.

I simply won't have it.

There must be absolute quiet here!

...and without courage
and unselfish devotion,

there can be no victory.

Forever gabbling about victory.
It drives you crazy!

Everything's different now,
my boy.

Be glad you don't know.

Everything's different now, my boy.

Be glad you don't know old age.

When your legs ache,
you can't catch your breath.

Everyone thinks
they can shout at me.

Now we only shout at each other.

And we kill.
All Europe's gone mad.

It's not your Europe any more.

Be glad you don't know.

Yeah, dying - that's easy!

Where do the stairs lead to?

Where do the stairs lead to?

To the cellar.

Search the cellar!

Why didn't I say something?

Because Dr Braun came strolling along.

Poor old Braun.
But no, Braun wasn't there.

He wasn't. Old Braun's not allowed
to be out so late at night.

He must have gone to see someone
in the house. That's strange.

And he was acting strange, too.

Do you know where Dr Braun
was going?

But I won't leave it at this.

He has no right to shout at me,
that man!

If I don't sleep,
he won't sleep either.

He has no right to shout at me!

If I don't sleep,
he won't sleep either...

Tomorrow I'll put it right,
or even today.

But ask him what's in
the packages he gets.

Only don't say I told you so.

Shut her up, please.

It's you, Doctor.

Who on earth is that man?

- What should I do?
- The police are here.

- You must stall them.
- The police?

- Going somewhere, Karel?
- No.

Go to bed. I was only checking
whether I'd shut the door.

I haven't seen you,
and I know nothing.

You have my word,
but that's all.

You need something?
A tranquilizer?

I have everything.
Eunalgit, Papaverine...

Morphine.
What do you need?

You have morphine?

- When is your husband on night shift?
- Nine o'clock.

- When did he leave tonight?
- Nine o'clock.

And you've been at home alone since?

I'm nearly always alone.

Order a search of the whole house.

It's being carried out.

In the cabinet was Eunalgit,
morphine and Papaverine.

You play golf, Dr Veselý?

Yes, but there's not much
opportunity lately.

- Where do you go?
- Usually to...

Usually to Klánovice.

The manufacturer Mach
used to go there.

- Know him?
- He was my uncle, Mr Commissar.

I knew his wife, my client.

A highly interesting woman.

I got her divorce for her.

When did they get divorced?

Excuse me.

Our son, Mr Commissar.

You take things very calmly, Doctor.

You are doing your duty,

and I won't be the one to tidy it up.

A little late for a night concert.

She does it often,
an old music teacher.

And a little crazy.

Fanta, Vlastimil Fanta.
Civil Defence Warden here.

Otherwise head of the
Labour Force Department.

Fanta. Vlastimil Fanta.
Civil Defence Warden here.

Also department head
at the Labour Office.

- Single?
- Yes, single.

- Name? - Vlastimil Fanta.
Civil Defence Warden here.

- Also head of...
- Head clerk at the Labour Office.

Yes, but completely at your disposal.

- You've read all this.
- Yes, I read every day.

- You're not from Prague?
- No, from Pečky.

And the packages you get,
also from there?

Yes, I send my mother my dirty linen,

and she returns it clean,
each fortnight.

I've got a clean shirt on.
If you wish, I would...

No, you needn't.

We believe you, Mr Fanta.

Thank you, thank you.

Give my regards to your mother in Pečky.

I will.

- Where to?
- To open the door.

No, we'll do it ourselves.

You play the violin?

Give him the violin.

Play us something now, Braun.

As a treat.

Something...

you are fond of.

That's enough!

Search the place.

You were lucky.

We can go now.

Sleep well, my dear man.

I made a mistake...
A mistake.

I should have waited on the stairs.

Fanta saw me.

We hope this will be a year
of victory and peace.

We know that great sacrifices
will be required of everyone.

For without sacrifice, there is no success.

And without courage and
unselfish devotion, there is no victory.

Without endurance and discipline,
no battle is ever won.

Therefore, let us close
our ranks even more firmly...

...we shall faithfully follow
our beloved Führer,

and devote our efforts
and make it our honour

to be loyal to his commands,
and to do our very best...

Where shall I serve breakfast, Sir?

I'm not having any today.

- Doctor Veselý.
- That's just wonderful.

Dear Dr Veselý's at home,
and I'm sat waiting.

That's you, is it?

Yes, me, who else could it be?
Is someone else there?

Nobody, you know that.

What are you doing?
I've been waiting ages.

I know, excuse me.
I wanted to...

Wanted, wanted...
Why didn't you call?

Hello? Has something happened?

Hello, hello? Are you there?

Karel, why don't you answer?

What's the matter?

She's there, isn't she?

You're strange...

Well, what's the matter?

- I'm afraid now.
- Afraid?

Afraid for me?
I've had such a terrible night.

But it's day now.

Day? Yes, that's right.

Yes, it's day now.

- Everything looks better...
- When are you coming?

In an hour or so.
I'll have a bath...

Only, darling, there's one little thing.

Leninka has a few little debts again...

- Oh dear, how much?
- Five.

Five, I don't have. Three.

You're angry, darling.

This is the last time, really.

And in return I'll do
everything you like.

Alright. In an hour.

- Mr Fanta's here to speak to you.
- What's the trouble?

- I don't know.
- Alright. Send him in.

- In here?
- Yes, in here.

Mr Fanta, you're to go in.

Excuse me, sorry to disturb you.

The situation is extremely grave.

Good morning, Mr Fanta.

Grave matters are best solved
in bed, or in the bath.

But not on an empty stomach.

But the situation is grave.

Be good enough to hand me the towel.

No, that one.

- What's that supposed to be?
- Nothing degenerate, Mr Fanta.

My towel?

The situation is extremely grave.

You seem to have
said that once already.

I saw him.

Here in the house. They're
harbouring a degenerate.

I saw him with my own eyes,
being carried up the stairs.

- When the police were here.
- How strong are your lenses?

8 or 9...

- I saw him!
- But I didn't, Mr Fanta.

I only agree with you that
last night was melodramatic.

You evidently can't stand noise.

- I warn you, Doctor.
- You're threatening me, I know.

And I warn you that
I'm in a hurry. Good day.

You're an informer, Mr Fanta.

I'll tell you to your face!

I'm waiting for you.

To me, you're an informer!

And I'll let the whole house hear it!

Mr Fanta's an informer!

Informer!

Informer!

Informer!

44-8-11. Speak.

You're leaving, Sir?

No, I'm not.

It's stuffy.

What have you been doing,
children? What's the time?

Is it that late?
I'd no idea.

So late.

- Did he ask where I was?
- No, Madam, everything's alright.

Only the master's a little...

Shut the door.

Have you had your tea?

- Did they have their tea, Anička?
- Yes.

Just imagine, Karel,
all that trouble for nothing.

The dressmaker's making
screws in a factory now.

And the cleaner's was shut, too.
I don't know what it is today...

I wanted to say...

Ah, a man called.
What's his name... Železný.

Železný... I know three.

One's getting a divorce...

Doctor Železný.
Did he call back?

He called.

But not Železný.

- Leave him, leave him.
- Let go, how dare you!

You're a beast.

And you're... a slut.

You...

You have the nerve to moralise!

You think I'm so stupid
that I don't know anything?

But I saw through you, years ago.

I know you inside and out!

Whore!

You have no right to reproach me
for living as best I can.

What do you think it's like
living with you?

For God's sake, tell me,
what do you think it's like?

Only I'm not nearly so bad as you,
I don't have to pay for anything!

But you! All you can do
anymore is pay, pay, pay!

And you know what you're getting?
The worst kind of junk!

All of Prague's laughing at you!

And the worst of it is,

your awful, grasping sister says

me and that girl of yours
are like two peas in a pod.

Dad are you going upstairs?
Mr Šidlák...

Who else is in the flat
besides yourself?

My wife, my son and a maid.

I must ask you all to go to the cellar.

An anonymous call. House search.

You are the owner, right?

...that great sacrifices
will be required of everyone.

For without sacrifice,
there is no success.

And without courage and
unselfish devotion, there is no victory.

Without endurance and discipline...

I can't keep those rabbits
anywhere else! Mr Commissar!

Please let me go,
I can't help it.

- I got them as a gift. Let me go!
- We'll wait.

Bring me a chair.

Keep an eye on Braun.

...will encourage everyone
to do his duty,

and crush anybody who avoids doing it.

534. Jaroslav Měchura

952. Bożena Měchura...

Dr Veselý, I beg you.
Tell me why we're here?

It's nothing.
No need to be upset.

Then why are we all here
if it's nothing?

We're not all here.

Dr Braun is missing.

I hate to ask you for a favour.

For myself, I only hope
they know how to shoot.

But my wife and son knew nothing.
You understand?

And they'd not be ungrateful,
Mr Fanta.

I've nothing against you,
or anybody, I swear.

I've nothing against anybody.

Why are you all looking at me
like that?

It was my duty.
They said it was our duty.

And it's true.
Absolutely true!

I don't want to die!
I don't want to die!

You've messed something up again!

You have to ruin everything!
You're useless!

It's not enough for you
that you've ruined my life.

You married me,
young and innocent,

and thought I'd fall for your
stupid heroism. No way!

You make me sick!
I hate you!

Our Father who art in Heaven...

I don't want to die!

... as we forgive...
How does it go?

...those who trespass against us.

What is it, Madam?
What's happened?

Promise him anything you like.
I promise you, too.

You heard him,
he didn't betray us.

He probably only informed on Dr Braun.

Karel, give him money,
anything, so he won't talk.

Let Braun take the blame.

No matter what he's done,
he shouldn't have done it.

Braun!

We've been waiting only for you,
Doctor.

Let's go upstairs.

A little... confrontation.

You won't find anybody there.
He left during the night.

I don't know where he's going.

I found him in the street,
slightly wounded.

I'm a doctor.

I was a doctor.

No, actually...

I still am.

A man is as he thinks.

You can't change that.

Cyanide...

Instant death.

Lay him out on that box.

The Reich will steadfastly
and Victoriously overcome

all the storms and dangers
of this time.

With iron resolve and
unshakeable faith, our nation...

We hope this will be a year
of victory and peace.

We know that great sacrifices
will be required of everyone.

For without sacrifice,
there is no success.

And without courage and
unselfish devotion, there is no victory.

- We can go.
- And the people in the cellar?

The people in the cellar...?

Let them go.

Take off his hat.

I don't want to die!

who avoids doing his duty.

We shall remain in this struggle until
the result is unequivocal victory.

Halt!
