TIME OF HONOR

I used to box, too.

Tadeusz and the CO are in Szucha. I'm sure they won't say a word.

I don't have any good news. He's not the Chief.

- One Polish General for 16 Soviets? - It's General Radziszewski.

We want to stand trial.

I need your help.

Have you spoken to Major Halbe? This is Abwehr business.

- Major Halbe won't be needed. - Now.

Don't shoot.

- Krzysztof. - He's dead. It's too late. Come on.

COURT MARTIAL EPISODE 38

All rise. The judges are coming.

The Court Martial is now in session.

The charges will be read out by Captain Bialy, for the prosecution.

I accuse Stanislaw Woyciechowski

of high treason. The evidence proves the accused collaborated with the

Third Reich while imprisoned in Pawiak.

After his release he passed confidential information to the enemy.

He is also accused of murdering Leon Soltan, a photographer,

who witnessed his spying activity. I accuse Bronislaw Woyciechowski

of high treason.

The evidence proves he collaborates with

the Third Reich,

by passing confidential information about his squad and

its operations to the Gestapo. I also charge him

with sabotaging the execution of his father.

- Do you plead guilty? - No. Not guilty on any count.

I defended my father. I've never betrayed anybody.

Very well.

Although the accused are appearing

voluntarily before the court,

they may not take part in the trial.

Mr Flis will represent the accused.

Take the accused away.

What's this all about? What's this spying and treason?

Who's Soltan and why kill him?

Bronek, we submitted ourselves voluntarily.

I brought you sandwiches.

Thanks. Janek, someone's stitching us up.

I don't know what I'm charged with.

- You were supposed not to talk. - We aren't.

Bronek, it'll be OK. It'll all get sorted out.

None of us believe it. None of us.

That moron killed my only access to the Commander.

I told Fuchs not to shoot at the three of us.

I'm sorry but I'm not to blame.

I knew nothing about it.

It's your second joint failure with Tannenberg, isn't it?

If I'd known, it would have been better organised.

- I'm not sure. - Excuse me?

I'm not so sure.

What fuelled your suspicions about Bronislaw Woyciechowski?

I refer to what you put in writing.

Problems started when the Germans

took over our list of Soviet agents. Then the situation

with Bronek's father I described in my reports.

I suggest the Gestapo broke

Woyciechowski and he began to collaborate.

I ordered his execution.

- May I? - Of course.

Did HQ approve your decision?

- They did. - What happened next?

Bronek sabotaged the execution and I was arrested during

- the boxing match. - Did Bronek or his father

know about the match?

I couldn't say.

And now the most important part of your testimony.

- What happened in Szucha? - The Gestapo officer had extensive

- information about our unit. - What in particular?

Details of personnel, plans and operations.

So precise they had to come from one of us.

Any suppositions?

The trace leads...

... back to Bronek.

Any news?

There was an escape.

Thank God. It's wonderful he's free.

Celina, Krzysztof's dead.

- He died in Tadeusz's arms. - You said they got away.

And you're happy!

Are you?

- Mum, dad, we need to talk. - What about?

About our future. Dad!

It's not a subject for Jews. Not even pseudo-Jews like us.

Listen, please, it's very important.

- I don't look at what man looks at... - I know a man who can get us out.

It'll cost, but we've got the money.

- Who is he? - Kluge. A German.

A German? The ghetto's teeming with good Germans.

- He doesn't have to be. - It's business for him.

He has a special list. It's legal.

- Have you met him? - I will.

How do you know he doesn't steal the money and shoot you?

What is it?

A postcard from Haifa. Some Jews made it there.

- I don't believe it. - Maybe it is a chance.

The CO won't agree. The order was: no operations.

- Come on. Bronek's locked up. - So what? He'll get out.

- You think so? - Yes.

Tadeusz, forget Bronek. He gave himself in.

- You're no one to judge him. - One thing matters.

A big success'll win back the trust of HQ and for each other.

Or they'll send us into the woods. And that's the end of us.

Special bloody operations.

- Janek? - I'm in.

Drop it. He won't agree.

I think it's worth talking to him.

Any contractions?

No, nothing.

But I'm feeling alright.

Thank you for looking after me.

There's a transport to Auschwitz any moment.

We must hurry.

Some extra exercises. They won't take her with a baby.

- What's this drip for? - She was dehydrated.

- They didn't let her drink. We had to... - Enough.

Can't we transfer her somewhere else? Her pregnancy is at risk

and we can't treat her adequately. Please, doctor.

Give her this.

Vitamins.

- Hello. - Thanks for coming. How's Bronek?

He's fine and sends his love.

- Can I see him? - I don't think so.

Janek, he's innocent, you know it.

I do. But it's not that simple. The Germans know a lot about us.

Someone grassed.

- Not Bronek. - It wasn't Bronek, Wladek or the CO.

Who does that leave?

Tadeusz.

No, Wanda. He's been checked several times.

He risked his life escaping from Pawiak with the CO. It's impossible.

- If it's not him, who is it? - I told you we checked him.

It's not Tadeusz.

- Do you know a man called Soltan? - No.

Who was in your cell in Pawiak?

There were lots of men. It's four or five to a cell.

- There wasn't any Soltan. - Do you know any German officers?

- Yes. - Who?

I run a factory and I have to meet them sometimes.

- Do you know any Gestapo officers? - No.

- None? - None.

I only have business contacts.

It seem to me...

... that you're lying.

Can you explain this?

Obersturmbannführer Tannenberg. The new Gestapo chief in Warsaw.

Wotcha Karl.

I'm looking for Staszek. He used to drink here with me.

I don't have a good memory for faces.

Karl...

- What's it all about? - Give him something. You know him.

To hell with him! I won't talk to him.

Don't talk, just give this.

Thanks.

So long.

Did you often meet...

- ... last year? - Hardly ever.

Then why have you been meeting your father so often recently?

How do you explain the sudden change?

Sons return to their fathers.

Did your father ask you about your operations?

- He never asked about what I do. - Did you know your father

- met Germans? - Yes, but he said it was business.

Did you have a problem with that, as a member of the Underground?

Yes I did. I still do.

On 2 September, gun in hand,

you interrupted the execution of your father.

Did you know it was approved by the Polish authorities?

- Yes, I did. - And you went ahead with it?

I don't believe he's a traitor. I had to get to the bottom of it.

- That's why we're here. - Who told you about the execution?

I repeat.

Who told you about

- the execution? - I can't say. I promised I wouldn't.

Was it someone from your unit?

- And? - I told her to soak in the bath.

- Will it work? - We have to keep trying.

There are new prisoners from Szucha. Schroeder's much tougher over there.

If a prisoner's due for interrogation, he gets them on their feet fast.

And he gave Milena a box of vitamins?

That's true.

I left Wladek a message

in the park. Wladek came at 5:00,

and we went to the factory to eliminate...

... Woyciechowski.

Did you tell anyone about this?

No. No one.

- Did Bronek know about the fight? - I don't know.

I told the boys. But Bronek, I don't know.

Hello. I got your address from the lady you spoke to.

You know about this boy, don't you?

Please.

Come in.

- He's my nephew. - What about his parents?

Dead.

- They were shipped to Auschwitz. - Adam ran away?

I don't even know if it's him. I need to see him.

He hardly remembers a thing and barely talks.

I want to see him.

We were separated in a street roundup.

He hasn't been back since. I keep looking for him.

- I just hoped... - I'll find him.

Good morning. Mr Kluge?

It's about travelling to Palestine. Four people. We've got the money.

- Yes? - How much does it cost?

Precisely...

Per head.

Still interested?

I think I did it. They trust me.

- Have they all testified? - I don't know.

- I spoke to their defence counsel. - Who?

Counsel for the defence.

- They have a barrister? - Funny, isn't it? It's a normal trial.

Wladek and the CO confirmed my words.

The CO was utterly taken in.

Look, who's here. Hanka.

- Who is it? - Some woman.

Do you have something for me?

- We've done it. The waters broke. - Thank God!

- At last. - Deep breaths.

Breath in, and out.

Please help us, doctor.

Milena's in labour.

- But I have never... - It's not difficult. Please...

Please!

No.

Push! Push!

Now rest. You're very brave.

When you feel a contraction, push.

And breathe slowly.

Push!

Breathe deeply. You're very brave.

Push hard.

OK, keep pushing.

Here it comes. Push down.

Here it is.

- Good morning. - Sit down.

- You mentioned an urgent matter. - A friend of mine wants to meet you.

- Who's that? - You'll see.

I'll get something to drink.

I believe you remember me.

- At the peepshow? - Yes.

- Did they leave together? - Separately.

You know where he went? He got into a black Mercedes.

- Did you get the number? - I wasn't quick enough.

- Private Mercedes? Interesting. - They often meet there.

- How do you know? - My friend sells tickets there.

- They meet once or twice a week. - When do they close?

8:00 pm.

We'll wait for them there. You after lunch, me till closing.

Every day. They'll turn up.

- Don't worry. It'll be all right. - Thank you, Janek.

There was nothing about females visiting. Particularly at night.

- This is Bronek's wife. - You ought to be ashamed.

Forgive me.

What you're talking about? I know nobody called Halbe.

Let's just say you do. And you're

- his man in the Polish Underground. - Nonsense.

- You know nothing of his past. - What do you mean?

I can prove he killed my predecessor Gerd Keller.

Why would he do that?

It's a long story.

I, too, became inconvenient, so he tried to use the Poles to get rid of me.

But thanks to you, I'm alive.

If he's guilty, why hasn't he faced the firing squad yet?

- Who? - Major Halbe.

I never said he was a Major. And you said you didn't know him.

Just remember Halbe's playing

his own game and you're just a pawn.

If I've interested you, you may contact me.

Nina works for me but she doesn't have to know the details.

Thank you.

- Is this seat free? - No.

Sit down.

I was told to meet you, so you can give this to your people.

- What is it? - A letter from our HQ that we

- had nothing to do with that setup. - A letter? It's not worth a bean.

Think what you like.

I'm just carrying out orders.

Wait, let's talk like brothers.

I told you, my brother died in the bombing in September.

We may never meet again.

It's possible.

The French Church supports Pétain.

Warsaw Courier!

Jews can no longer vote in Romania.

- What will you do in Lviv? - That's my business.

It won't be Polish again.

You don't believe me, do you?

Once we drive out the Germans, the world will be quite different.

They're chasing you right now.

Russia is long and broad. We'll see.

I'm glad I went. He's my brother, after all.

What did he want?

He gave me a letter from their HQ.

- Weren't you being tailed? - Do I look stupid?

I checked.

When's the exchange with the Germans?

What is this?

- What's going on? - Someone grassed on the workshop.

Who did?

He became too greedy. And got what was coming to him.

I wonder what'll happen to him now.

- Why's she crying? - Where will we get work now?

I can't do it today, something's come up.

- I'll stay. - No point.

Tadeusz is with us.

Was the other man here? Let's go.

Don't worry. We'll come again.

- Why are you so relaxed? - What's there to be scared of?

- What if they've changed their minds? - They never do. They'll be on time.

How far's Zalesie?

- Half an hour's drive. - Staszek,

help Wyrwas. He's having car problems and we need to go.

Yes, sir.

- No, I won't. - Mum...

Don't you see? There's enough money for two. You go with dad.

- It's better that way. - Who for?

For everyone. Once you've gone

- Lena will go back to Janek. - What about you?

I'll get by. Lena and Janek will help if needed.

- I won't leave you alone. - Mum, mum.

It's a chance for all of us.

Dad won't manage without you.

And we'll be parted.

- Forever? - The Third Reich isn't immortal.

We'll meet after the war.

My children.

Open the door, Ryszkowski.

- Stay here. - It's a trick! Get out of here!

Drop it.

Don't touch it!

Don't!

Wladek!

Michal! We have to take him away!

Breathe!

Staszek, breathe!

Staszek, no.

Staszek...

General Radziszewski?

Yes.

Captain Tomasz Krawicz.

- Communist? - Lord, no.

You're free, General. They're waiting for you at HQ.

Thank you, gentlemen.

What do we do with him? Waste him?

A court martial will decide his fate.

Move.

Berlin.

Gruppenführer Auerbach.

Heil Hitler.

Unfortunately we were unsuccessful.

The Soviets didn't show up.

Yes, sir.

It's been like this each time we've worked with the Abwehr.

I promise to restore order.

Thank you for your confidence in me, sir. Heil Hitler.

Fuchs!

Fuchs!

The party's over. Shoot all the Soviets we're holding.

- Immediately. - Yes, sir.

Wait.

By tomorrow, ship half the prisoners out of Pawiak.

- We need space. Clear? - Yes, sir.

- I've got him. - Who?

General Radziszewski. I drove him to the quarters myself.

- Where? - In Mokotow.

He's in a safe house till they take him to HQ.

You must surround it immediately. And no idiots. Use your best agents.

- Sleeping? - No...

- I'm thinking. - What about?

If Schroeder will get Milena out.

- She'd be lucky. - He promised.

It wasn't a bad day.

No, it wasn't a bad day.

Maria Konarska.

- That's me. - Get out.

Out!

Get out now!

Aleksandra Bugajska, Jadwiga Kwaśniewska,

Katarzyna Dmowska.

Regina Napieralska.

To the transport. Move it.

In the name of the court martial, this is the verdict for high treason.

- I'm getting used to this life. - I've got him under control.

He's here, he came a few minutes ago.

- Where? - In the peepshow.

I have a funny feeling, my holiday's over.

Let's go.
