Original subtitles

In Poland fascists will rule now.

Need arrangement with them.

Where are you off to at this hour?

I'm off to be a whore.

Is it good?

Jerzy Ziembiński.

Visits you once a week.

I want to surprise him.

Mr Żwirski, we'll house your men here for some time.

- We still haven't received the orders. - Don't be a dense bureaucrat!

Fuck!

Down! Up!

Down!

It will be even worse.

- When will you be back? - Maybe never.

My beloved daughter.

If you're scared, go to that Palestine of yours.

No protection.

- You should go with us. - What a pipe dream!

You and your family will never be safe again.

You will all die!

No reading at the table.

Zosia is having their wedding at home.

So disgusting, look!

Daniel, you're not finished.

I said, no reading at the table.

This isn't funny. The boy wasn't much older than you.

CURSE OF THE BERNSZTAJN FAMILY

Did he have it coming?

Tate, why did they off him?

When you find out who did it, will you tell me?

Dawid, enough!

Off to school!

Did you know him?

Jakub?

Did you?

You did this?

But why?

Our boys are nearly his age.

Don't torment him.

You've been doing it all his life.

We're close now.

I've killed my brother.

Now, we need to save Buddy.

There is a fragrance...

about you, the sound of your name recalls it.

But we will make for you a chain of gold with ornaments of silver.

You are like a dove

that hides in the crevice of a rock.

Let me see your lovely face...

I know, you fuck, that you know it by heart.

My queen!

What's happening?

Good day, prosecutor.

Who's that? Who is in here?

Bootie, please.

Untie me immediately. Right now!

You hear me, whore? Untie me!

We'd like to be left alone with the prosecutor.

You sent Buddy to Bereza.

Now, you'll get him out.

I will devote the rest of my life to destroying you, you fucking kike.

You don't get it.

It doesn't matter if Kaplica is out, if you send the photos to the rags,

or go to the prime minister, as tomorrow he'll be gone!

This can't be stopped!

You can kill me, go ahead!

At least I know what I'm dying for.

For Poland, you fucker!

You have nothing!

Wrong. I have my city.

- And my family. - And precisely that is nothing.

This city will never be yours!

And you Yids will also be gone!

Do you know how I found you here, pervert?

Anna told me.

Now, I'll give her these photos, and she'll show them to your son.

What now, Mr Szapiro?

We have to stop them, or we'll end up in Bereza.

Just the two of us against the Phalanx?

You know quite well that they won't find a hundred men

who could stop the two of us.

Right.

We can still make it.

What should I tell them?

The truth. I have to handle something.

Someone has to get Buddy out and save this city.

From what?

- Phalanx in power! - That's why we should leave!

I'm not going to run.

- Mine and the boys' lives are at risk! - A coup is brewing.

If we don't stop it, there will be no Jewish state and no Jews!

Now you care more for the Jews than for yourself?

It's a bit too late for that.

For fuck's sake!

Coup! Overthrow, putsch!

In Poland fascists will rule now.

That Koc with Śmigły. Need arrangement with them.

Prime minister gone, so Buddy gone.

Understands?

What language was that?

- Was it Jewish? - Do you understand the problem?

- How do you like your new employer? - I'm not working for him!

I'm here, as you're an honest cop. I respect that.

Get to the point.

You can't organise a putsch in secret.

Someone has to know something.

If I knew anything, I'd be an accomplice.

If I were an accomplice, I wouldn't admit it.

Extortion, shootouts, armed robberies, whores,

stiffs in the pits, murder in the streets!

I know how much blood you've got on your hands!

They won't play nice with the PM. This isn't just about Kaplica!

Listen...

They'll do here what Hitler did at home a long time ago.

And then they'll deal with you and me.

Every authority needs, as you said,

an honest cop.

Someone like you won't tolerate just any authority.

If Marshal Śmigły and Koc are in this,

what can I do?

You can ask around discreetly.

That I can do.

Kiss! Kiss!

Kiss! Kiss!

- To life! - To life!

Mazel tov!

Moryc.

Jakub wants to apologise.

And sends his sincere regards.

Thank you.

He couldn't come. Something important.

Yes, of course.

Did he say what it was?

He did.

In a while, I won't care about any of this.

- When are you going? - In a month.

Take your kids and go with us. Maybe Jakub will follow.

A single woman with kids won't cross the border.

We have people in the Haganah, you won't be alone.

I can't kidnap my sons.

Seems to me, he loves this city more than he loves you.

It seemed fishy from the start.

Koc is training an assault unit.

How many men?

About two hundred.

When are they to start?

Tomorrow.

Please, do not insult the uniform of a police officer.

How many men do you have?

Fifty.

Only half of them on duty.

Not enough.

But we have an advantage.

Oh yeah?

They don't know we know about them.

Still not enough.

Give me an hour.

MAP OF GREATER WARSAW

A coup?

Who'd think that Żwirski was so crafty?

We need more men.

We have to get Buddy out!

You know what?

I have more serious problems

than that of a jailed once distinguished comrade,

now famous only for his criminal deeds!

What do you think will happen to the Socialist Party

if their coup succeeds?

How are the socialists doing under Hitler?

- I'll call the PM. - Do that.

Now! Tomorrow is too late!

This is the most important moment of our lives.

The Poland of our dreams is being born.

It will finally replace the rotten Jewish republic.

So, comrade Ziembiński,

may no one hesitate today.

Our empire can rise only from blood.

No one will hesitate, comrade.

Glory to Great Poland!

Glory to Great Poland! Glory to us!

Death to the fuckers!

This will be a beautiful day!

Back up, goddammit!

Back up!

Hands up!

On the ground!

They escaped.

Żwirski and Ziembiński.

On the ground!

Stay there!

Thank you for your help in controlling the situation.

Kaplica will be released from Bereza today.

But convey to him

that I won't take any more of his calls.

Let's go.

Let's get Buddy.

I'll go.

It's safe now.

You go home. Emilia will feel better.

We can do so, as to accept you.

A woman is always nice.

Even such a freak, a tribade, would you say not?

Very well, move to side, now.

Doctor...

- Come! - Borowski and I, if we may...

To comrade Kocot, you fuckhead.

...Kercelak merchants would like to...

express our great respect

for you, Doctor Radziwiłek,

in hopes that our cooperation will grow successfully.

And...

we would like to apologise for this recent oversight of ours,

that it wasn't on time.

For he's a jolly good fellow!

For he's a jolly good fellow!

For he's a jolly good fellow!

Which nobody can deny!

How are we feeling?

Like shit, I'm sure!

They called about you, you fuck.

They said to release you.

And I follow orders.

I'm releasing you.

It was nice meeting you, gentlemen.

Thank you for your hospitality.

Though I have to admit that your establishment

leaves a lot to be desired.

I have to sign your release. Without my signature, you can't go.

Justice will catch up with you, fucker.

Is this an escape attempt?

Free to go.

Well, gentlemen?

Prime Minister...

During a tennis match, I convinced the governor

to send Kaplica to Bereza.

It's where that criminal belongs,

and I accept full responsibility for my actions.

And you?

Yes.

I slipped you the document for signing.

I did it in good faith, fully aware of the consequences.

In good faith?

We have a different understanding of good faith.

Kaplica is a criminal.

He's done a service to this country.

He's a fighter for our state's independence.

If it weren't for people like him, there would be no Poland.

Kaplica is a bandit and murderer!

And you allow him to thrive.

This is high treason, gentlemen.

And for that, you get the rope.

But I won't make you into martyrs.

Prosecutor, still today,

you will resign from all your functions due to personal reasons.

Yes, Prime Minister.

And you, Litwińczuk,

you're dismissed on disciplinary grounds.

You have the rest of your lives

to stay out of my way.

There's the door.

Reporting, Prime Minister...

Colonel...

the shit has hit the fan.

What's that?

Koc!

You motherfucker, I just found out!

You tried to raise your hand against the legal government of Poland?

Dismissed! We'll deal with this later, scumbag!

Prime Minister,

I came as soon as I heard of this disgraceful situation.

Here, please.

Cops are everywhere!

They are after our guys.

Get it?

- What? - Cops are after our guys.

They won't get them all. We have to wait it out.

We can't abandon them.

They trusted us.

We have to.

Stop, dammit!

Listen, this is war.

We lost a battle, we have to accept that.

- But the war continues. - What war?

Just one Szapiro beat us.

You know what your problem is?

You think some damn Jew from the criminal underworld

is more important than our cause.

You know why?

Because you love yourself more than Poland!

You fucker!

You are all fucking alike.

Goddamn thug!

Get your sister.

Are you the rulers of Poland now?

Father's calling.

And I'm busy.

You better come.

I submitted my resignation.

I'm finished.

You two are safe.

Maybe something can be done?

This is the end.

Your end, the end of your plan, and the end of this damn family.

I think this is just the beginning.

Since when have you been seeing him?

That Jew.

Szapiro, the one you lost to.

You whore!

My will. You are both excluded from it.

You, because you lost.

And you, because you're a Jewish whore, like your mother.

And shit on your graves!

I'm on my way.

Same place as before. Calm down. I'm coming.

She again?

I'll be back.

- We can't wait for you forever. - I have to help her!

No, Jakub.

You have to help us.

Now what?

Jakub?

He's going to kill me.

I won't let him hurt you.

Why did you bring her here?

Calm down.

I have to hide her from her brother.

He's a fucking madman.

Maybe take her to the Bristol.

- Wouldn't you prefer that? - I like it here.

Ryfka, please.

Make yourself at home.

Fuck you all.

Józef?

Keep them coming.

Hail Mary, the Lord is with thee,

blessed art thou among women,

and blessed is the fruit of...

Let's go.

Coffee, vodka?

A cigarette.

What does your wife say?

About what?

Your high society mistresses.

Because that's what she is, right?

She enjoys this?

The brothel adventure?

- Earlier, was it under the bridge? - What's your point?

No point, Jakub.

This is just you.

Why have one woman when you can have them all?

But that's not right.

That's how you hurt people.

Your own kids.

How would you know? You have no family.

Apart from these whores.

You spend more time here than at home.

You must love them more than your children.

Do you still have a home?

Maybe you left them?

Did they leave you?

Jakub, please help!

Sonny...

it's all in your hands, now.

Sonny...

You've been my best friend.

And now you have to...

take it all.

Yes.

Take care of Marysia and my daughters.

Yes.

Yes.

As of today, Szapiro is responsible for everything.

Congratulate him. Everyone.

Celebrate...

Damn straight.

Hail Mary, full of grace...

He's dead.

Well.

Mr Jakub now number one.

What do you order?

If you wants to order around, order around.

Yes?

But it takes responsibility.

Responsibility!

It's harder than punching in face.

For that, you needs brain.

There will be no orders.

We're in mourning.

Let the Jew enjoy himself a while, think he number one.

Damn idiot!

When Eduardo finished,

no Szapiro is there to stay alive.

All Szapiros dead!

Big and small.

Understand?

Now, the city is yours, and you are a good man.

With you, life will be good.

To be a free nation in our land, The land of Zion and Jerusalem.

I don't understand.

Congratulations.

Tough Jakub Shapiro has made his dream come true.

Bravo.

Who is always right? Mom or dad?

Well?

Mom is always right.

That's why we're going to Palestine.

The land of Zion and Jerusalem.

But what for?

You remember the story of Moses who led the Jews out of Egypt?

We're doing the same.

You are not Moses, dad.

Go to your room. Mom will come to you soon.

Well?

Kaplica is dead.

We have to pack, Radziwiłek won't let it go.

I'm sorry. You were right.

You've always been right.

This doesn't solve everything.

We'll get to Constanta on Polish passports.

From there, to Haifa by boat.

There, our man from the Haganah will get us fake British passports.

Everything's been confirmed.

I want to talk!

- Leave. - Stop it.

Tell your guy behind the door not to shoot me.

Everything clear?

That's all, you can go, comrades.

What's your plan?

Meet my wife, Zosia.

From Warsaw...

we go to Malbork.

Germany, switch trains in Breslau, then Budapest.

Romania and Constanta.

Two weeks and the British will stop you.

I know a better way.

Don't worry, we have people there.

Suddenly, you know your way to Palestine.

Suddenly, I do.

Your people can help,

but you have to fly there.

Day after tomorrow, 1:00 a. m.

Warsaw, Lvov,

something in Romania, Athens, Lydda.

Ten, twelve hours.

We're all going.

You and us.

You're going?

You?

I am. With you.

Warsaw will be in mourning.

Let it burn to the ground, for all I care.

Wait.

Are you happy that Jakub is going?

He will have to change.

Since he's a bad man, he can only change for the better.

You will have to change too.

So you can find common ground.

No way around it.

And that always helps.

And life is such a bitch,

that now I'll kill you, you cocksucking Jews.

So there.

Man...

I have no idea where Jakub is.

And even if I did, you can kiss my ass.

He'll kill you...
