THE TIME OF HONOR season 6

Last episode

I'm a mother and a widow...

When I look at Jas, I think...

What is it?

- I need a gun. - That wasn't what we agreed.

- And you and Wanda? - It's complicated.

- Going where? - An envoy got money for partisans.

What if it's a provocation?

He's my friend.

- Rainer is in an American prison. - He's at the Royal hotel.

Where did your people take Blachnitzky to?

This is a lie.

You won't make a collaborator out of me!

Guards! Take her away!

The war is over. Don't you get it?

- It is coming to an end now. - Underground Poland...

- Russians got Blachnitzky! - ...sentenced you to die!

- He's gone. - Russians?

What do you want?

Shame such a pretty child will grow up in some orphanage.

You know you will get at least 25 years,

- if not capital punishment. - I have no money.

But your tenant has. A rucksackful.

- Good morning. - Good morning. Come in.

A RUCKSACK FULL OF DOLLARS episode 75

Sit down, one minute.

We agree.

We'll get Blachnitzky

in exchange for Wiktoria Rudnicka.

- She's been accused of... - That's irrelevant.

- He doesn't interest us. - He should.

- This man could change history. - I knew some like him.

They're dead.

One more thing.

We need some guarantee.

That you'll free Wiktoria Rudnicka.

Guarantee?

It'll be just an exchange of spies between services.

My word must suffice.

Fine,

afterwards we'll give you Rainer back.

It seems you promised him freedom.

- Promises to felons are empty. - Which aren't?

To allies.

You can relax.

- Wanda? - I'm here.

- I just got back. - Wanda, come here.

l like the job at the radio more and more.

Wladek!

- What are you doing here? - Hello.

- I was sure you'd be in the forest. - I am. I'm a woodsman.

- I need to do something. - He'll stay a few days.

- Wanda, only until tomorrow. - Not a problem, sit down.

Tell me how you are.

- Are you hungry? - Excuse me.

No.

Good to see you.

You've not been speaking to me.

Me? Not true.

I counted words.

You only said: hooks, hold,

bleeding, gauze, sew.

Five.

It was a difficult operation. I had to concentrate.

- Are you upset? - About what?

- About taking your hope away. - Not at all.

They're lying, Otto.

Cruel but you must accept it.

Otherwise you'll always be in their power.

He's dead.

You're right, he's dead.

Are you off somewhere?

It looks like you're in luck.

We'll need you again.

I see.

- Talk. - About what?

Now? Here?

- Need some music? - I want to go back to the hotel.

And I want to open one, ideally in Florida.

We don't get each other. I won't stay in such conditions.

Lock me in my room.

I see we really don't get each other.

We give conditions, you have no aces up your sleeve.

Well?

The hotel receptionist was working for the Soviets.

You said that already.

Where did they take Blachnitzky?

He knows nothing.

I do.

It's a house near Warsaw.

A residence the SS turned into a training centre.

- Do you know this building? - Yes.

- I know the layout. - Excellent.

Where is it?

Rainer,

we're not kidding.

This is your last chance to save your life.

Please understand.

If I answer this question, I won't be as valuable.

I have to have a guarantee.

Fine,

you have my word

that if this is true, I'll take you to the West.

Will that do?

I'll show you the location on a map.

Captain, prisoner Wiktoria Rudnicka.

Sit down.

Sit down, I am your counsel.

Tea?

Have a read.

- What is this? - Your charges.

Read it and sign.

Passing secret information to the American army? Rubbish.

Sign it. There.

It says that with ex-SS men I worked as an American spy.

Yes. We'll defend during the trial.

I advise you as your counsel, sign it.

Guard!

Take her away.

Bronek,

come on, I have to get up early.

What's up?

You tell me what's up?

Wanda,

- was I to deny him a bed? - That's not it.

What, then?

First Michal turns up, then Wladek...

- They want you back? - It doesn't matter what they want.

- For me partisan life is over. - Right.

- Just tell me when you're leaving. - I'm telling the truth.

I have to help them.

There's a chance to free Ruda. That's all.

Then I want to come out.

What are you talking about? They'll lock you up.

Not for long. There'll be an amnesty.

Are you crazy?

You may get a death sentence.

Bronek,

let's go to Swinoujscie, start anew.

I won't be hiding all my life.

Our place is here.

What about Karkowski?

I don't know Karkowski.

Are you sure?

You're here...

Why haven't you ran away? This man will never stop chasing you.

I won't go without you.

Sorry.

I'll kill the bastard.

I didn't want the child anyway. Maybe it's better this way.

We'll still have a child. Our child.

Go now. This idiot keeps coming here.

- Any changes with the money? - He says he's on track.

He says he'll give me loads of dollars and gold.

Really?

Go now. He can't see you here.

I'll be waiting.

Hot pea soup!

Good morning, Zosia.

What brings you here? Has she beggared you?

You were right.

I've come to apologise. Tola confessed everything. Here.

Your ring. Will you come back?

- We miss you. - We? That thief is still there?

Yes but she's changed, really trying hard.

Ms Helena,

who was born a pig won't die a lark.

So you won't come back?

Thanks for the ring.

- Here you are. - Thank you.

Before I present your suggestions to our commander,

I need to know the political character of this organisation.

- Patriotic. - Communists are patriots too.

Listen, the idea is not to renew pre-war arguments.

If we don't unite, the underground will cease to exist in 2-3 years.

I don't mean liquidation of structures.

- It will be a biological massacre. - The idea to unite is not new.

The NMU has been realising it successfully.

It's no accident we're the National Military Union.

- That's just words. - Then we have nothing to talk about.

Indeed,

our argument makes no sense.

When they shot, they didn't ask which group I was with.

We brought significan't resources to support the underground.

How are they to be split?

We'll discuss during the commanders' meeting.

- Please set me up with a commander. - I am a commander.

Put it away, I know the way.

- You haven't changed. - Meaning?

Smartest, as always.

I just looked at the map before we left.

Stop being so clever, you prig.

Again we're together on recce.

Shut your eyes and you'll think the old times are back.

Let's shut them.

Stop it, look at the road.

Were you serious

that you want to stay with me?

- Put the map down. - We must stop here. We'll walk.

Take the keys.

We won't manage from the front.

Let's try from the north.

Come.

One SMG post.

A guard on the first floor.

Two on the left.

Three on the right.

Damn, dozens of them.

Got pictures? Then let's go.

We counted 16 soldiers.

Plus add those inside, plus the commanders.

All have tommy-guns, an SMG post in the left window.

- A fortress. - Won't manage alone.

Blachnitzky may go to Moscow any time.

So what do you suggest? A suicidal attack?

You don't do it for nothing.

Man, don't treat us as mercenaries.

- We'll do it. - How? Us three?

- Tomorrow I'll bring armed men. - Tomorrow may be too late.

There's no other way.

You have 15 min to make the train.

- How many will you take? - I don't know. Only volunteers.

Are you crazy?

- Order. - Don't teach me to command.

What happened last? Two agreed. If you don't, no one will go.

I can't order them to risk their lives for some Yankee business.

- But don't you understand... - I do.

Ruda is my personal business.

Only volunteers come, you don't have to.

- What are you saying? - I'm serious.

You don't have to help me just because you're my younger brother.

You'll get it from your younger brother.

Got to inform Ruda.

Here's the kite.

Sorted.

Go to get your damn train.

You're so stupid, Guzik.

After everything set me up with Janisz.

- You wouldn't see him. - Maybe I was wrong?

You?

Tomorrow or the day after I'm back. Bye.

When has the pain started?

Yesterday during the walk.

It's possible an infection got in.

Just give me some painkillers.

I'll tell them you need a few days' rest.

- Give me some pills. - You don't know

what such complications can lead to.

- Doctor... - Take off your jacket.

Good morning.

We'll go back to this conversation.

Good morning.

How is your health?

Excellent.

You established contact with the NMU. Excellent.

Forgive me but I'm not as enthusiastic.

- How do I take this? - As you wish.

I understand your doubts but I'll keep our agreement.

I hope history has a better opinion of me than myself.

History will never find out.

See you.

- What are you getting into now? - Nothing.

I'm just asking you to pass this kite to Ruda.

You want to rescue her?

- It's suicide. - It will be a legal exchange.

What exchange?

I can't tell you, just pass this message to Ruda.

I have no strength to worry about you.

No strength.

No need to.

Everything will be fine.

Our newlyweds will live happily ever after.

Just pass her the message.

Go, I want to be alone with father. Go now.

Doctor,

I have pain in my chest.

Which one is Kirchner?

There.

Otto Kirchner?

Yes.

Security Office. Come with me.

Come on.

Get in, doctor.

I'm glad we're meeting again. Cigarette?

- No, thank you. - Why are you so unobliging?

- I heard it but couldn't believe. - Not good, doctor.

The Poles do you an honour,

want you to join their party and you resist.

Your son's not getting any better.

- What do you want from me? - Why so nervous?

We're just talking.

What am I to do to get my son back?

That, that...

Not eating again?

Fine, don't. When you get hungry, it will teach you a lesson.

You're evil.

- What did you say? - I don't want to be here.

I'm off to work, you're off to school.

Can I come with you?

You must go to school.

- I don't like you. - Katia...

Great, I see we can begin.

I'd like to welcome you all to another meeting

of our party and present a new candidate.

It's our best doctor, Otto Kirchner.

What? We're accepting krauts in now?

What's this backward thinking, comrade?

People were judged by their origin before the war.

You talk as if you didn't know what communist internationalism was.

- I understand you completely. - One moment.

Let another person speak.

As a young communist

I think Dr Kirchner

is a good candidate. Very.

See, comrade?

You should follow sister Danuta's example.

This attitude is our country's future.

Who's in favour of Dr Kirchner to become a member of our branch?

Thank you.

Who's against? No one.

I declare that Dr Otto Kirchner

has been accepted into the Polish Workers' Party.

Congratulations, doctor.

I'm glad.

Very glad.

Life's coming back.

If I didn't know you, I'd think you were getting used to it all.

Why did you want to meet up?

I want to come out.

Pardon?

Relax,

I'll come along and help free Ruda but I'm interested in nothing else.

- You'll be hanged. - Maybe not?

- You believe this propaganda? - I'm no fool.

So? Don't tell me you want a normal life...

I don't know whether normal. I want to live.

Want one?

Two please.

And Karkowski?

I'll kill him if I see him but I won't look.

Have you forgiven Rainer too?

Don't twist my words.

Listen, even Wladek wants to join Janisz.

Guzik, I made my mind.

Let me know when Wladek's back with the boys.

It's not that simple.

Bronek's wanted. If he comes out, he'll go inside.

Could Wozniak help?

I doubt he'd want to. You're different.

Let him find out if he'd get a reduction.

Bronek said he'd go to jail if I waited for him.

- Would you? - Mum!

It's an ordeal.

I know.

- Need anything? - No, thanks.

This is Tola I told you about.

This is my daughter, Wanda.

Sure you're not hungry? You haven't eaten.

Thank you. Go back to the guests.

Excuse me, two portions of dumplings, please.

- Just a moment. - And two shots.

You jealous?

- Don't contrive. - What would I contrive?

Devil knows.

You press here and take a photo.

Now wind it up and take another.

Try.

Come in.

Finally.

What happened?

The secretary would look after her but she's off sick.

Get her some care for today.

- I must go to the National Council. - Me? What am I to do with her?

But you know how to raise children so well.

Katia,

come on.

- Where to? - You'll see.

Watch her closely, see you in the evening.

I point out

he still takes an active part

in fighting against

People's Poland.

How did you spell "out"?

Again.

Boss, could I take the evidence to the typists?

What typists? This document is a state affair. Write, don't moan.

You are to look after this child.

Interrogate her?

This is minister Lewinska's daughter.

Yes sir!

You'll stay with these uncles.

Why are you staring? Can't you look after a child?

Yes sir.

Come on... Uncle will teach you to type.

A finger here.

See the nice writing?

Kissing your hands, madame.

Eh, the chicks.

Enough.

Here you are.

Katia!

Katia!

Katia!

Katia!

How did she vanish? You were to watch her!

- I only turned away for a moment. - Turned away...

Two idiots.

Yes sir.

We're going.

We'll find her, she couldn't go far.

- Maybe she's kidnapped? - Don't panic.

Don't talk to me like that.

You're useless.

I'm the boss of the Security Office, not a nanny.

I can always correct that.

- I report she's not at the park. - Have you searched well?

- Even the sewer to check for a body. - Dismissed!

I know where she is.

What are you doing here?

I had to baptise her.

Who?

Her name is Kasia. Isn't it a nice name, mummy?

Mummy...

Let's go.

Good evening, Jas.

- What is this? - Why have you done it?

- He won't eat a thing. - He'll be fine.

Fine, Jas. Go to play, quick.

Want some food?

No, thanks, I ate with Celina.

With Celina?

You're back together?

I think so.

Lena...

That night...

Don't say anything.

We both felt lonely.

It happens.

I'm so glad you're back together again.

Really.

You're an angel.

I doubt it.

- You're the best of us all. - You don't know what you're saying.

I do.

I do...

I'll pack my things.

I did what you wanted.

Is this what I think it is?

Is my child safe?

Like on God's lap.

You'll destroy all delations on my colleagues.

We have an agreement.

Stay calm, there will be an amnesty.

If they make me an American spy, the amnesty won't include me.

Rudnicka!

Please help yourself.

God bless you.

WE'LL FREE YOU. TAKE CARE.

How do you like it?

- Not bad. - Not bad...

Is that all?

It'll be the cause céičbre since after the war.

The press spotted it. Articles will start any day.

Let's not make her a martyr.

No, impossible.

We got an interesting kite.

They inform her that soon she'll be freed.

This is just a copy.

They may write something again.

Good work.

So...

Will I get a citation and a file entry?

Maybe more?

That's the situation.

So it's an affair between Americans and Russians?

Like I said,

I only agreed because they promised to get Ruda out of prison.

Volunteers, step forward!

Stand at ease, Jelen.

Stand at ease.

Thank you, gentlemen.

In the next episode

Let's agree the terms.

You get me Blachnitzky, I get the girl free.

- How much is there? - Not counted. Never seen so much.

Happy?

We have a strategy genius here.

What is it? Do you know anything about resistance?

- Quiet. - You're not in your forest.

- How many people have you arrested? - We agreed it was too early.

I want results!

Ms Helena, don't be afraid.

- Afraid of what? - That I'll say something.

I want you to know it's the last time.

I told the boys.

I have a request. Read this.

In case something unexpected happens.
