TIME OF HONOR

- Something must be in it. - Do you know what it is?

It's a list of Soviet spies. Congratulations.

Someone issued an order and an SS officer signed it.

- What's up? - I decided I ought to report it.

- It's about Tadeusz. - We need to talk.

The Reds are offering guns for the radio.

- Can't you find me a room? - I'll try.

I want out of here too.

- What is it? - Krzysztof.

- You checked me. - We had reasons.

- Join the lads. - What's up?

We're taking out the Gestapo chief.

Tadeusz!

OPERATION "GENERAL" EPISODE 35

I see you're in good shape.

I'm OK.

What?

- Have you come to visit? - I need to ask you about the attack.

I won't be able to help. I remember nothing.

I understand you had time to look at the assailants.

- It happened in a flash. - Didn't you recognise anyone?

- Who was I to recognise? - I'm talking about descriptions.

Appearance, height. We're talking about an investigation.

I'll be conducting it myself. I'm back at work

- in a day or so. - You're mistaken.

You're off sick. I'm taking over.

Tidy your desk when you're feeling better.

- Is this how you joke in Krakow? - I wish you a speedy recovery.

I can't see anything.

- I'll have to dismantle it all. - Please start work then.

Did you hear about the attack on the Gestapo chief?

I think things will be hot in town.

The Germans won't let this pass. The announcements are already up.

I have something.

Already.

Sterling work. Thank you.

Lars.

I've just heard.

- Savage place! How are you? - I took one to the shoulder.

I'll be out in two days.

- Why are you up? Get back in bed. - I don't want to lie.

- I can't think when I lie down. - Time not to think.

Inga...

That's too much of a luxury.

You know, my attacker didn't want me dead.

I don't understand.

Neither do I.

You scared me.

There are loads of Krauts everywhere. They're checking everyone's papers.

I brought you something you like. Tomek?

My name's Adam.

Congratulations from HQ. Well done.

- Has Rainer's death been confirmed? - We only know he's in hospital.

The Gestapo have begun reprisals. Don't show yourselves around town.

Wladek. Hand out the food rations.

- See you later. - Janek.

- I want to meet the Soviets. - You're going to trade with them?

- Arrange a meeting. - Yes sir.

- What was it? - Your father's got out of Pawiak.

- What do you mean got out? - He paid 100,000.

- He can afford it. - It doesn't affect you much.

100,000? Oh, it does.

As you prefer.

I'd like to have a father.

Yesterday's attack on the Gestapo chief.

- Was that your friends' work? - I don't know what you mean.

Of course.

They're really competent, just arrogant.

- Those big-heads saved your life. - I'm not talking about all of them.

I like Tadeusz a lot.

Did I tell you he wants to fight me for the Championship?

10 times.

I'm sorry if I bore you.

Just kidding.

- Even my boss has taken an interest. - Aren't you telling me too much?

You're right. Let's do something more pleasant.

Do you love him?

I don't know.

Krzysztof...

I won't marry you. I'm sorry.

It smells lovely. I've made cabbage soup just for you.

My granny taught me.

She always made this soup for me.

Do you have a grandmother?

I know your name's Adam.

Do you remember anything else?

What about friends you played with?

In the garden or in the yard.

Can you remember anything? Do you have any other family?

You must have parents.

Adam, come out.

I promise I won't ask you again.

Adam, please.

All my best friends are visiting me.

I just heard about it. How are you feeling?

I can't believe they dared. An attack

on the Gestapo is sheer criminality.

- If you say so. - I've brought you a cigar.

- Just like you did with Keller. - I beg your pardon.

I'm having a sense of déja vu.

- But someone else was in my place. - I don't understand.

I came to see how you were.

Martin. I know you well.

Too well. You won't get rid of me so easily.

Goodbye!

Keller said the same.

We should have sat down like this at once,

- like brother Slavs. - Down to business.

- We'll give you the radio. - Good. It's a good deal.

- The arms will come in useful. - We don't want arms in exchange.

- What than? - The NKVD have General Radziszewski.

It's the general for the radio.

- Who is this general? - I expect an answer by tomorrow.

What are you thinking about so hard?

- It must be Janek. - No. Money.

That's better. More realistic.

What would you do with lots of money?

- I'd have a good meal. - I'm talking about a really big sum.

I'd eat a good meal in a restaurant. Caviar, champagne.

- Wouldn't you escape from here? - Where to?

You have to survive on the other side.

Anyway, you came back, right?

Come with me.

Hello.

You wanted to see me.

- I heard you were in Pawiak. - They released me. I bribed them.

- I know. 100,000. - 110,000. All I had.

- How did it happen? - They found some leaflets

at work. And arrested me.

I wanted to see you because...

I don't know, I just wanted to see you...

... dad.

Hello.

- Is something the matter? - What do you want?

- I came to train. - Get changed then.

Any news about our fight?

The association has agreed. They'll set a date soon.

Marvellous!

- Did you tell - you know who? - Why are you pumping me like this?

We don't have to talk at all.

I'm sorry. I've got problems.

Girl problems?

I can't help you with that.

Hold on.

Can you get me in touch with Michal?

- What about the factory? - I don't know. It's still open.

- Do you have orders? - I do.

- German? - Yes.

For the German Army?

No.

A lot of questions for you. Curiosity or duty?

We haven't met for ages.

- Come back home. - I'm a bit old for that.

But...

I have a favour to ask. I need a safe house for two women.

Can you help me?

Yes.

- But that's not why I wanted to meet. - I know.

I'm sorry.

The Mongol!

Lena!

He didn't even touch us.

Lena...

Must I wait till that scum kills my sister?

She won't last long. He told her if she ever doesn't turn up

- he'll find her. - We can get rid of the Mongol.

How?

In a painful way.

- Are you crazy? - Yes. Scared to fight with no blade?

Be a man. Show me what you can do.

Are you scared? Scared?

- Yes. - You weren't afraid to steal my girl.

- Yes, I was. - Bastard.

You damned English bastard.

Smack me.

You're a pro.

If I reported it you'd be up for a court-martial.

Feel free.

Our top brass agree to the exchange.

- They'll bring the general tomorrow. - Where to?

There's a good spot near Warsaw. But first I need a guarantee.

What do you mean?

You might double-cross us.

You have the word of a Polish resistance officer.

Honour's good, a hostage even better.

- What hostage? - Give us your man

as a hostage. If the swap is clean, we let him go.

And what's our guarantee?

The word of a Red Army officer.

What is it?

Lice infected with typhus.

No. No, I can't do it.

- Empty them in his coat. - I can't, Romek.

Do you want him to club you to death? Or Ruth?

Think how many people you could save.

- Will it kill him? - I hope so.

Lena...

Greetings.

Hello.

Janek. Can you help me?

- I have to move some furniture. - Are you moving?

- It's not for me. - When?

- Today. - I can't. - I can help.

Good morning, gentlemen.

- I thought we'd have longer to rest. - Any news about Rainer?

- Still nothing. - It's about that parachutist.

- You asked what it was about. - Unsuccessfully.

I couldn't tell you then. He's Sorokin, an NKVD agent.

- He's to organize the Red Underground. - That's no secret.

Our HQ wanted to exchange him for General Radziszewski, arrested in Lviv.

- We did brilliantly then. - We can make it succeed.

- Do we have Sorokin? - No, we have the radio.

- They agreed to swap it. - That heap of scrap?

It's not scrap. Bronek was right.

There's microfilm inside with a list of Soviet agents.

Bastards.

The time and place is agreed. There's only one condition.

They fear a trap and want a hostage.

I'll go... You know yourself it ought to be me.

Maybe something's gone wrong?

The van's broken down, or the flat?

Maybe it's the flat. I bet someone changed their mind.

- Talk to me! - He said he'd come and he will.

You believe what boys say too easily. I'm younger, but you're more naive.

- They always put themselves first. - The van is waiting.

At last.

I mean, it'll be curfew soon.

- Are you sure you won't stay? - No thank you, Sister.

Thank you for everything.

- Can I keep this? - Of course.

You seem to have two girlfriends.

The other could be yours.

- I'm Nina. - Tadeusz.

A friend of the family.

- Tadeusz. - Wanda.

How do you want to do it?

I don't know.

What are you bawling about?

Be careful, you stupid bitch! You'll get blood all over it.

Now.

Hand it over.

I hope he dies in torment.

What are you looking at? Get back to work.

Why are you standing like that? Don't you want to see our new place?

I can't get enough of it.

We'll soon be home. I'll cook you potato cakes.

Did I say my daughter's an actress? What job do you want to have?

- I want to be a soldier with a gun. - Germans.

Run away, run away.

Quickly.

Come in here.

Where are my belongings, Rappke? There was a bottle of French brandy.

There were all taken to your quarters.

You're pleased I'm going, aren't you?

I'll be back quicker than you think.

Yes sir.

What is it?

That lame Polish woman was here. She left it for you.

- Go. - Yes sir.

Adam?

- I'm glad you accepted my invitation. - I'm hungry.

- Was that the only reason? - Don't trip me up, or I'll get angry.

I promise to try harder.

You don't mind if I stop? I have to buy some cigarettes.

Of course not.

One pack, please.

- You can't use that list at once. - I gave it to our superior officers.

Ask them to start arresting in a few days.

- I can't foul it up now. - Too late.

I'm sorry. I've got a woman waiting.

- Well? - We've got him.

- Were there any problems? - He has no chance of escape.

Very good.

Welcome home, General Radziszewski.

OK. Cut the engine.

- Now. - How long still?

- An hour. - Bloody hell, the time's dragging.

After the exchange you'll take him to a contact point.

- I'll do it. - Good.

We leave in 55 minutes.

- Can we talk? - Not now.

You won't be needing me any longer.

Just go and see if he's hungry. Go on.

- Are you hungry? - Have you got a cigarette?

He wants a smoke.

Thank you.

- Are you Russian? - No.

- I'm a Pole just like you are. - I doubt it.

- Here. You've eaten nothing all day. - What a thoughtful brother.

Then what? A bullet in the head?

- Rubbish. - That what your comrades do!

I'm not sold on the Soviets, but the English let us down. Think about it.

You think! Even if the Russians win, what then?

Our boys aren't due yet.

- Open up! - Germans.

Give me your gun.

Jump out of the window.

Jump!

Leszek!

It's time to go.

- Do I have to go, too? - Think you're on holiday?

Stop! We've been double-crossed.

The Gestapo had our address. They sold us out to the Germans.

- Who's that? - The one who shot at me.

- I saw him with Halbe. - That one?

I'd like to see the reports of your Polish agent.

You don't get it. We could have a Chief.

Now, we have nothing!

Did you sing about the microfilm?

No. He might come in useful. We can use him to barter.

The Germans are shrinking the ghetto.

The date's set for the big fight.
