THE TIME OF HONOR season 6

Last episode

I'm going to Warsaw. I must finish Janisz's case.

Let's run away to South America.

- How can we pay? - Rainer has money.

Why are you here? Is Michal with you?

I'm not a partisan.

- And my liaison officer? - He took part in your rescue.

Can you help me hide this?

- Got a son? - He died on the eastern front.

Not quite...

Have a think about it all, Dr Kirchner.

They have loads of dosh.

Dollars, gold, like in a bank.

- They wanted the money. - Okon is gone.

- You're coming with us. - I see you don't have

- much to say here. - Shut up.

- Don't shoot, a child. - What child?

THE HOSTAGE episode 72

You don't have to turn anyone in. Just say where you hid the money.

I don't know anything about any money.

Look, I really have more important things to do.

- Don't waste the time. - What do you think, shit?

- That we can't make you talk? - The Gestapo would say so.

The Gestapo, did you say?

Where is the money?

Same question again.

A courier gave you dosh from the West. Where is it?

I know nothing about the courier. I was away on an op.

Say where the dosh is!

What is it?

Only I can interrogate him.

- Yes, comrade lieutenant! - Leave.

They took the parcel for Ruda.

Hear me?

I don't know whether that's wise.

What are you saying?

You shouldn't get involved in these things.

I took a parcel for my son's fiancée.

Do you know what she's in for?

Should I disavow my sons, too?

I didn't say that.

I don't know, recently you've been strange.

- What's going on with you? - Nothing.

Really nothing.

- Where is Katia? - Something's happened.

They kidnapped her.

The car didn't arrive at Warsaw.

We suspect it was some gang's doing.

You're "it"!

- Will you play with us? - Strzalka, take her away.

- Come, we'll look for mushrooms. - No...

Come on, it will be fun, uncle is busy.

We're in luck.

We couldn't get a better hostage.

What hostage?

- She's the minister's girl. - So?

- We'll exchange her for Ruda. - We won't.

So why did you keep her?

Like you've not thought of it.

- That's not our ways. - Enemies pick them.

I won't fight with a small girl.

You want Ruda to hang? We won't get more chances like this.

We give the child to her mother.

Hold it...

I didn't know I had such a punch.

First he was pretending to be tough

but then he fell on the floor like a rag.

- Did he say anything? - Not yet but he will.

- When? - Relax, I'll talk to him.

I have found a way with him.

- Are you a complete fool? - What?

Are you a complete fool?

Hear yourself? Relax? I'll talk?

Don't you get that our lives depend on him?

- You think Rainer was kidding us? - So what am I to do?

I don't know! You are the bloody SO!

Get it out of him!

I know nothing else, they just took him.

He was in a bad way but Lewinska ordered to take him away.

Have you seen Wladek?

He went back in the forest.

- Do you also want to go to the wood? - First I must find Janisz.

- Fine but once you do, what next? - I don't know.

Don't talk to me like Wladek.

- Did you have an argument? - I must go.

Wait.

If you see Wladek, tell him I got a kite from Ruda.

They treat her well, she's waiting for a trial.

- You know how to find me. - Yes, I do.

Good morning, Zosia.

What's she doing here?

Tola will work with us. We're so busy we could do with the help.

Go get changed. And then come back to us.

Have you gone nuts? She's a thief.

It's a poor, lost girl, she was in a camp.

- You're making a mistake. - The Germans beat her, experimented.

- She's a child. - A child...

You may know business but you don't know people.

I can't read this rubbish.

Karkowski vanished without trace.

I lost the scent.

- Anyway... - Perhaps he has a woman?

- What? - If someone was looking for you,

they'd be sure to find you through me.

Why are you helping me?

Because I want to get you back.

I'll be back soon.

I feel overawed.

Such a beautiful woman inviting me to her room...

- I see you got a grip. - Yes, I have.

You were right, the paper lives only one day.

Please sit down.

I don't predict longevity for you

- if you keep lying to me. - I don't understand.

- How do you mean? - Why wasn't Karkowski on your list?

- He was your most important spy. - I know who you mean.

He wasn't because he's dead.

Dead...

I saw him in this hotel.

Ms Celina,

I didn't want to tell you he was here because

I wanted to give you specifics.

Then there was this shooting and Karkowski vanished.

- Where can I find him? - I don't know.

You really want to go back to prison?

Karkowski has a fiancée.

He'll be sure to want to contact her.

The address.

You know the address already.

- There you go. - Thank you.

Can we talk?

Please, sit down.

I have a problem with my daughter.

I'm sorry.

You said you could destroy her documents.

I could do something.

I want her to live legally under her own name,

without the constant fear someone will arrest her.

Ms Helena, who wouldn't?

Mr Wozniak, this is not a plea.

I thought it would be worse.

Yes?

Oh my God!

God, you're alive?!

How good you're here. Are you coming back to us?

No, I have a job. Everything is fine. Can we talk freely here?

Yes, yes...

Excuse me, sir, please wait in the corridor, will you?

Thank you.

Come here, sit down, please.

You don't want to come back to us?

I work for a government centre.

Nevermind that.

I take care of special patients,

prisoners, help them come round.

Do you know what I mean?

Yes, I do.

We got your former patient, Janisz.

- What name? - You must remember,

- they tried to rescue him. - We might have had one like that.

If we don't help him, he'll hang.

But what could I do?

I'll help him escape, you make sure he gets to his lot.

- I don't have such contacts. - Maria, this man is going to die.

I have a plan how to get him out.

You know me.

You know I wouldn't run the risk if I thought there was another way.

You won't leave here

until you've told me where you hid the money.

- What is this, wood or a pipe? - Wood, why?

- But solid wood or reinforced? - What's the matter?

If it's solid wood, it will break after a few blows. It's too small.

Shut up, you shit!

Bloody hell!

Didn't I tell you?

Where is the money?

Say where you hid the money!

My dear, I feel you're about to tell me everything.

I come here every day,

I tell him what Jas is up to...

This is my normal life.

I'm a loony with a child.

I also speak to my father.

Only he died during the war.

Do you think that makes things easier?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Michal.

I'm just trying to understand.

Janek returned from England,

got me out of the ghetto,

together we survived the occupation and the rising.

What for?

So he could die in peacetime?

I can't keep going like this...

I must go.

- Thank you. - Goodbye.

Mum, you really asked Wozniak to help? He's a scoundrel.

I'd go to the devil himself so I wouldn't have to see you struggle.

Wanda, all you need to do is go to see him at the SO.

You'll be safe.

You trust him?!

I gave him no choice.

- And Bronek? - No, Wozniak can't deal with that.

How do you see it?

- I won't leave Bronek. - Who told you to?

Think about it.

You could start living legally under your own name. Work at a theatre.

Good morning.

- Yes? - Wanda, look...

How do you know it's not a provocation?

As far as I know Baranowski, he's an honest man.

They may have made him. You know how.

You asked me to let you know when I know something about Janisz.

How does he want to get him out?

He'll fake his death certificate.

Bodies are transported at once

to the town charnel in a special car.

- How many people? - Just the driver.

Why is he doing this?

Why are you?

Thank you, mum.

Be wise.

Doctor,

- good you're alone. - What is it?

We're opening a Polish Workers' Party here.

Four people have signed up and I'm the chair.

Congratulations. What do I have to do with that?

We'd like you to join us.

Here is a membership declaration.

- I am to enter the Polish party? - As a German

you should dissociate yourself from the murderous German ideology.

- I try to do that every day. - Not enough.

You are an alien here. Someone may have something against it.

Is this a threat?

Good morning. What happened, sister?

Sister Wiesia suggests

that I join the PWP.

I have a membership declaration for you too,

- you just need to fill it in. - No political recruiting here.

- I'm not recruiting anyone. - Please leave.

Of course.

First they want to throw you out, then...

Do you understand any of this?

You're back at last.

I've seen mum.

But we agreed.

I met her by accident on the market.

What did you tell her?

Now an important announcement.: the Polish Radio

invites all to a radio announcer contest...

- Wanda? What did you tell her? - Hold on.

The auditions will last 3 days.

We start on Tuesday at 10am to 6pm at the Praga studio.

All interested are welcome.

The auditions...

Don't be a child. Why are you listening?

You can't get legal work, not as an actress.

- You're wrong. - Pardon?

- I wanted to talk about that. - What?

That I intend to come out.

- Mum sorted it out with Wozniak. - Wozniak?

Congrats on new mates. Thought about me?

Have you? Have you thought about me?

- You made your mind up. - You keep doing what you want.

In 1941-45 I took part in the resistance movement against Hitler.

It's general on purpose.

After the war I did no anti-state acts.

Now I have no contact with gangs.

- Well, alright? - Yes, but...

Ms Wanda, I'm risking more than you are.

I cleaned your file, did a new profile, what else?

So...

my daughter cannot be arrested now?

No one is after her anymore.

We're after Bronek. If you stay away from him, all will be fine.

There is nothing in the paperwork on you.

Stay away from my fiancé?

You know Bronek didn't return to Poland.

As you wish.

Now you can go to the city council to get documents under your name.

One more thing.

I take no money from you but quid pro quo.

You can relax.

Neither I, nor my daughter are going to inform

that you were a Gestapo spy.

Why such ugly words?

- Thank you, ladies. Goodbye. - Goodbye.

Better late than never.

Time's out. What have you found out on Karkowski?

You won't even say hello?

If no news, I'll kill Rainer today.

Bronek, I am not your enemy.

Karkowski has a fiancée in Warsaw.

I know, he left her before he fled to England.

I have her address. Rainer says he'll be sure to try to contact her.

Why look for her if he left her?

Feelings are complex.

Let me know when you're done with Rainer.

You can be sure.

- Why do they need my child? - Maybe it's political?

- What are you on about? - You have enemies even in the party.

But only bandits would be able to do that?

I give you my word,

we'll find her.

Where is the money?!

Say where the cash is and I get a doctor and you go to your cell.

I know nothing!

Where is the dosh?!

- His brother took it. - Whose brother?

Kmicic's.

Brother, did you say?

Came from the West...

Him?

Yes.

- No! - Where did he take it?

He took it all and went to Warsaw.

If you're lying, we start all over, got it?

I'm telling the truth. I swear.

Guard!

Take the prisoner to the doctor.

Tell Ms Halina to come and clean up.

Yes sir!

Did I wake you up?

I couldn't sleep anyway.

Neither could I.

Want some tea?

Please.

I was thinking about what you said about Janek.

I don't want to talk about him.

But when you can't sleep,

you think about the past?

Isn't it normal

to think about the past?

Sometimes I think I'm 70.

You're doing well.

I'm serious.

Nothing awaits me in this life,

it's all over...

Nonsense.

- You're young, beautiful... - Stop it.

What are you saying?

I'm a mother and a widow.

When I look at Jas, I think...

Michal...

I'm sorry...

Good morning.

- Don't ask why I'm here. - Why are you here?

How did you get in?

- These locks are useless. - How did you find me?

Through Lena.

Right...

- Did you know Bronek is in Warsaw? - Where?

- He didn't give me his address. - Why is he back?

Probably same as you. You're just the same.

How can I find him?

Are you here to find out where Bronek is?

I'm here to finish our conversation.

I thought we said everything.

Was it that important?

Your job for the Americans came before us?

I'm sorry.

Hello?

Fine, I'll be 10 minutes.

My successor?

I'm not here to look for another fiancé.

We'll talk when I've finished my part here.

- I thought everything had been said. - Maybe not?

But go now.

I'll leave you a message in our old contact box in Powisle.

Goodbye.

- But watch out for Lena. - Pardon?

You heard me.

She's not who we thought she was.

- What are you talking about? - I can't tell you everything.

- What do you suspect her of? - It's not suspicions. It's facts.

- What facts? - Not now, later.

Please don't tell her everything.

Thank you.

Ms Wanda Ryszkowska.

That's me. Good morning.

Is that you?

Come in.

With this tune I'd like to say goodbye to you.

Thanks for listening. Join us at 4pm tomorrow for Music Lover's Nook.

Now let's hear to today's news.

- I'm impressed. - Thank you.

You're made for radio, and for stage.

I'm glad.

So if you agree, we'll prepare the contract now.

Of course.

Damn it...

- Hands up. Halt! - I only transport corpses.

Turn around! Halt!

Run into the forest!

Have you found her?

Not yet but I came to report that Janisz is with his lot.

Thank you.

Come on, guys. I'm not a communist.

You'll take the girl to her place.

Yes sir.

And the food.

- Don't be cheeky. - We confiscate the food and the car.

- How do I get to the city? - The boys will get you to a road...

Commander, the girl's gone.

- How? - Maybe she legged it.

No, gentlemen... Look for her.

Katia!

Katia! Katia!

Jelen...

She's there!

Katia, you don't need to run.

- We'll take you to Warsaw. - I don't want to leave here.

What do you mean?

Let me stay with you, uncle.

Emilka, I'm coming.

Listen carefully, I'll ask only once.

- Where is Karkowski? - Fled to England.

- I swear I'm telling the truth. - You think I'm a fool?

- Your wife was his fiancée. - She hates the dog, and rightly so!

Irus!

Irus, do you know you...

- Where's Karkowski? - Who?

- Where's your fiancé Karkowski? - I don't want to know!

- His child? - Mine.

My wife has no contact with him.

Man, either let us live normally or shoot.

I am sick of this raking up the past.

Sister?

Yes, doctor?

Do you still have those declarations of membership?

I'll get them.

I just wanted to see it, haven't made my mind up yet.

You're doing the right thing, comrade.

Thank you.

They've found her.

They let her go with the driver.

- Where is she? - Come.

Come on in.

Katia...

I'm your mum.

I don't have any parents.

May I go now?

Stand them evenly.

Is that even?

Tomorrow you'll wash the floor again.

You've told me ten times already.

- Anything else? - No, you can go.

Don't push her so much, she needs a bit more heart.

Count the sales, Zosia.

And that's it for today.

We won't be staying here overnight.

That's how well you know people.

Professor Blaszczyk, don't know the other one.

That's Blachnitzky.

Are you sure?

Yes.

Let's go.

- Take care of him, OK? - Everything will be fine.

Remember, it's our professor's brother.

Coming!

- Yes? - Good evening,

- I'm looking for a friend... - What friend?

Where is he?

Good evening.

Who are you?

Americans, Soviets?

Anyway, what's the difference...

Like between a bunk with fleas and an flat in Florida.

Americans...

We have an offer for you.

I know what you want. The answer is no.

You do your third war without me.

- I see you thought it through. - Many times.

Believe me...

What are you waiting for? Shoot.

I should have done it myself long ago.

I promised your wife I'd bring you in one piece.

- You arrested my wife? - No,

we had no reasons to arrest her.

She's waiting for you in Florida.

- Thank you. - Got the letter?

Maybe they took it?

Maybe.

They'll be shooting today.

How come?

They tapped it in Morse code.

But there was supposed to be an amnesty.

Shoot.

In the next episode

I had no idea about it. Blaszczyk is my university professor.

He asked me to help his brother who's wanted by the SO.

What about the money?

It's in a safe place. I hid it.

- In a few days I'll have loads of... - What did I tell you, you louse?

Bronislaw Wojciechowski?

Have you put on weight?
