Jan

Josef

They sent for you too

What the hell is it doing about?

I was on leave, out of the blue they called me back

That's all I know

So?

The general will see you now

Stand at ease

Do you three know each other?

Uh... Kubis and I do sir, but... uh...

Alright, introduce yourselves

Karel Curda, sir Born near Prague

I was a customs officer before the war

Jan Kubis Born in Vladaslov

I was a farmer

Gabcik, sir Josef Gabcik Born in Pilsum, Locksmith

Good

The mission we have in mind

can only be undertaken by men with your qualifications

For the past three month you've been closely observed

You're here now because you shown us that you have courage

endurance and resourcefulness

I am going to ask you to undertake a mission

that regardless of outcome,

will certainly be one of the most dangerous of the war

I need hardly say it, you are liberty to refuse

Good

First, I am gonna give you some background information

And then I'll talk about the mission itself

The Code name is 'Operation Day Break'

Reinhard Heydrich came to Prague three months ago to take up his post

as acting right protector

for what the Nazis now call 'Bohemia and maradia' that means

he has absolute power of life and death over all Czechs

We believe if Adolph Hitler were to die

That Heydrich would become fearer of the third life

His orders, one to crush all Czech resistance

Two, to deport large numbers of the community to work

in Germany as slave labor

Do not underestimate him

He is not a barbarian like Hitler

He is the man of the highest intelligence

ruthless, ambitious and he is the only one

to whom Adolph Hitler really listens

Your rights protector

I have a petition signed by all the inhabitance

of a small village near Pilsum

Beggin you, sir to show mercy to the nine young hostages

due to be executed tomorrow

Not one of them is yet twenty years old

and youngest is only sixteen

The villagers do feel that

Rights protector says that whatever happens to the Czechs

or to any of Slav is of no possible interest to him

We intend to parachute you back into Czechoslovakia

To assassinate Heydrich

Heydrich is closely gaurded night and day

When ever he travels, he is escorted by highly trained SS men

So it will be up to you to formulate a plan and to carry it out

You must find a way to kill him

When do we leave sir?

You'll be confined to these headquarters until further orders

Thank you very much Good luck

Stand by Champs we are over Pilsum

Hold to your mama!

Stop

Don't try anything

You Czech aren't you?

Keep walking

Well, I am Czech too.

Move

Jan!

- Twisted bloody ankle - Can I have a look?

Don't touch it for Christ sake

That guy's the basterd who said we were gonna drop on a dry clear morning

Did you see Curda?

No, he dripped off on the other valley

He could be anywhere

Let me lean on you

Damn shame

Not so bad if they make us go after girls in Czechoslovakia

Even the snow tastes different

Safer though

You have no feelings at all

Can you manage?

Feels worse than it is, come on

Papers, your papers

Where are you going at this time of the morning?

To work?

Where?

Pilsum

Walk to work everyday

You walk two hundred kilometers everyday?

You're no way near Pilsum

Where have you come from?

Hands, Hands!

Come on!

Let's go

Bastard R.A.F.

Two hundred kilometers from Pilsum

Dropped in a wrong bloody place

God knows where Curda is

So now what do we do?

Lost the radio operator

I can't hardly walk

and the entire German army looking for us

Never mind where we are going we don't even know where we are

And you are a lot of use

No feelings at all

Christ, we are at quarry

Two men

I know you are in there

It's alright we won't harm you

I am comming in

Come inside both of you

Close the door

You can't stay here

You're parachutists

Look, we can all be shot

I've got a wife and children

I've hurt my foot

We need some help

But the place is swarming with Germans

Really

I haven't spoken to you

and I haven't seen you

Please go away

See who it is

Germans

Get into the vault

Parachutists Have you seen anybody?

Tell him you've seen nothing

- But what about... - Do it before he comes

Well, have you seen anything?

It's serious

Ah- it's you

What's going on in there, eh?

One of my men got hurt in the blast

His foot

Give us a lift to the doctor

I'll make it worth a while

You've been pitching some of your stocks again?

Better unwrapped

Bring him

Over here

Thank you

Good morning is your father in?

What's it about?

Emergency We're from quarry

This fellow's hurt his foot

Come this way please

Father, two men from the quarry

One's hurt his foot

Tell them in

Go in please

Lie down Take off your shirt and sock

How did it happened?

I have fell twisted my ankle

Can you move the toes?

That's good

I haven't seen you before, have I?

No

Does that hurt?

How long have you been working at the quarry

Well, about six months now

It's a sprain Nothing serious

The Germans are busy this morning

looking for parachutists

Yes, we heard

Guess they've been searching the whole area

I expect they were up at the quarry

Oh yes

Yes the quarry would be a good place for the parachutists to hide

But I doubt it they'll get pretty far

Not now

Now no one might shelter them

Not after murdering those Germans

Everybody will be too frightened

Put your finger there, will you?

Stand up

That will do

I won't hesitate to shoot

Sonia!

Yes, these are the other two

You will forgive me?

We have to make sure you're not spies planted by the Nazis

Welcome home

Oh God!

You bastard!

Adult education?

Come in Find a place

Good afternoon

For the benefit of the those

who are entering for the higher certificate,

today we are going to talk about positive and negative ileums

You managed to convince our friends and countries to your identity

Now you must convince us

Miles isn't it? Come a thousand miles to help

How do you mean convincing?

We want proof

We don't carry papers signed by Winston Church, if that's what you mean

What was the name of your commanding officer in England

Answer the question

We are Czechs

We were born here and we've come back to fight

and that's all we're telling you

You say you're Czechs

Your home where is it?

Vladaslov

I know Vladaslov

What's unusual about the bridge there?

It doesn't exist

Huh? Why?

It was blown up in 39

Anyone could know that

I was a member of the group that lay the explosives

There were three of us caught by the Germans, I was one of them

Anyone could say that too

Get dressed

So now you see...

We have both positive and negative particles in the vacuole

Karel

Where did you come from?

Don't ask me any questions I... can't say anything

I knew you'd come

I knew it I knew it

I was a bit worried I'll meet somebody else

How? I said I'll wait and I meant it

I never dreamed

How long you can stay?

I don't know

Day? Week?

I don't know

I'll come to see whenever I can I promise

See you in the morning

OK

- Good luck - Thank you

I'm Curda

Mommy, he's here

Good evening and welcome

Thank you

My daughter Jundriska

I'm Karel

Call me aunt Marie everyone does

I'll show you to your room

Thank you

Oh... There's just one thing

My husband works on the railways and knows nothing of this

As far as he's concerned

you are from the country and looking for work in Prague, alright?

My son, Ata

- Hello - He studied in the conservatory

I'll get you something to eat

Thank you

Oh... When you wanna contact your friends, you tell me

- OK - OK

There are eight streets leading off the square

Which one do you take if you want to go to aunt Marie's?

One by the clock

And St. Nicholas Cathedral

The next one passed the clock

Walk straight past

Don't look side ways

You've seen nothing

What's happening?

I don't know but we mustn't stay...

Heydrich!

Come away please You mustn't stand here

Josef

These are back up I don't like it

Am I not right, eh?

You are right

It's funny in English

I desire my language

It's late

I didn't realize father

All well with you?

As usual Is Karel in?

Yeah

Good night

You're very late, Carl

I had a hard day

Panic from the moment I went home

You should have seen the chaos

Cattle trucks

The Germans want every single one

Cattle trucks

God knows why

On top of all that we got an order for Heydrich's special train

He's going to Berlin in three days

Heydrich

I knew it

I knew it was something important

All those scooters always works

Well?

I don't know

I'm not sure

I have to think about it

Perhaps we should wait for the other parachutists to arrive

No We can't take the risk

We have to do it the day he leaves for Berlin

It might be the only chance we get

Have you thought what they will do

if you succeed in killing him?

We have our orders

People who gave you those orders are safe in London

They don't have to suffer what that are priceless

Think what they will do to this country

The world would come down on our heads

It's a chance we have to take

My God they send us children

Do you imagine we didn't think about assassinating Heydrich?

Why didn't you then?

Because we know the consequences will be

We are soldiers This is a war

If you won't help us we'll do it alone

We never said we would not help you

What do you want us to do?

Where is the best place to kill him?

It's comming

So our beloved furiortics takes time off

from the heads of state to welcome to Berlin

one of the man who was helping him in the glorious task

of governing the third life

SS Overcopen furior Reinhard Heydrich

Rights protector of Bohemia and Bohevia

Icefuraskis him love watches as the presentations are made

The furior and his two most trusted advisors

are to meet in secret conference at Ice Transli in Berlin

before the furior leaves for the ceremony at Vegetor's Garden

Decorate out victorious generals

who have brought honor and glory to the third life and to the furior

We should have stopped that other train

God if only we can get accurate information

We've got to send those man from London now

Wireless operators to set up a communications network

Lose of time and energy and thought and for what?

Killing

Christ we are young

We should be out enjoying ourselves

If it was peace time suddenly... now

What would you do?

I'd go out and buy a dress

A bright red dress made of silk

I'd see a good football match

Maybe get drunk afterwards

Parties, dancing!

It's bad luck to be over age

Yes, bad luck

Oh, don't bother to iron on the back

Nobody sees

Dance with me?

I... I don't know how to

You don't know how to dance?

No I never had the chance

Never?

Shouldn't you be leaving?

It's late

He's getting use to you

The messeges arrived from Berlin

which I've been authorized to translate

For the duration of war emergency

I hereby appoint you commissioner and protector

for all occupied terratories in Europe

Arrange your affairs in order to arrive in Berlin without delay

Adolf Hitler

- Thursday... Are you sure? - I'm sure

What's happening?

Next thursday

He didn't give us much time

He must give us time

We'll use one to the New Post

No no Curda is right It's too dangerous

That's for us to decide

It's not for you to decide

There are too many Czech lives at stake

I am gonna stop this

I am gonna notify London

London's orders were perfectly clear

Kill Heydrich at all costs

We've been here weeks

Well I think it's only in four days

Perhaps it's because we've been looking for a safe way

Maybe we're going to have to risk everything

What do you mean everything?

Something we've been thinking about for some time

He rises at 7 AM

Breakfast, bathes and he's dressed by his vallet

7:45 precisely, he usually says goodbye to his daughter,

gets into his Mercedez, which is driven by a Chauffeur Glen

When the car proceeds down the drive

he's escorted by armed troop carrier

one jeep and an armered car

The convoy traveles very slowly at about 40 miles per hour

The first part of the journey is through the country side

Tree lined roads and small villages,

along order of specially constructed to take him into Prague

He enters the out skirt of the Prague at this point here

Proceeds around the bended Vulsavitcha junction

And then enters Harry Channy castle at 8:05 AM precisely

And he's been doing the samething every day without fail

It never varies

What do you think Jan?

There's only one place

Here

We kill him there as he comes around Vulsavitcha junction

But he's heavily guarded all the time

He slows down

You are gonna stand there?

Pointing your guns a few feet from Heydrich,

in full view of his escort?

We'll never get away with it

It's the only place

It's suicide

Run!

Alright, you two!

Pick him up, put him in the back of the bakers land

Come on!

Be careful

Easy, easy

Vlavika hospital quickly

I said it was impossible we should never even have tried

It's on the radio he's still alive

They are offering reward of ten million crowns

It jammed

I had him!

I had him!

Mommy, have you seen my bicycle?

Oh Christ, I left it outside of Kinsles

Quickly Jundriska get it and bring it back here

No I must go

No go alone Jundriska it's safer

Hundreds of splinters from the grenade...

penetrated deeply into the lumbar region

We removed what we could

but his spleen and kidneys are seriously damaged

But much more dangerous

is the fine splinters of horse hair

and material from the car appulsory had entered the blood stream

We may have to operate again

No you are not to touch him

But dear Frank?

The furior's own sergeons are comming Keep him alive untill then

But if blood poisoning sets in?

Oh father of mercy

We pray to thee for thy servant Reinhard Heydrich

We remember now who lord his qualities of his leadership

his sense of service

the inspiration he has been to all the people

And we pray

that he may long continue to lead

to serve and to inspire

Amen

It is only these two?

Oh... sort of...

What do you mean sort of?

Is it or isn't it?

How many will there be?

Three... four...?

Seven?

- We must go - Where's Curda?

He should have been here hours ago

We have to leave without him

But we can't leave without Curda

The longer you stay here more dangerous it is

You'll have to go

No I am sorry We can't leave without him

Listen to Janak

It's too risky

Talk to him, make him see sense

Nope, I'm with Jan

Three of us landed together we are gonna stay together

We wait

How long for god's sake?

We'll give him... 12 hours?

Now state secretary Frank salutes

He has vowed to root out the criminals

who are responsible for this crime

Anyone who assisted them or fail to give information will be executed

They and their families until justice is done

Now it is the turn of proud Heydrich

Her face failed to kneel and kiss the flag

She steps back as the six officers take up their positions

either side of the gun carriage

The coffin is raised the command is given

Escort comes to attention

and the sad prosecution makes its way towards the train

Karel

I never lost you for anything have I?

Don't go now please?

No I wouldn't

I won't ever leave you

Where he would be laid to rest in presence of the furior

Liditz

Liditz?

When he came from the office of the acting rights protector

In the course of the search for the murderers of Heydrich

it was found that the population of village of Liditz

approximately 20 kilometers northwest of Prague

had helped and cooperated with the perpetraters of this crime

Accordingly a detachment of SS division Prikcks Barugie

commanded by SS Overstune Van Furior Max Roshnov

was dispatched for Liditz at dawn

All the man have been shot,

women deported to concentration camps,

the children sent to appropriate houses for re-education

All the buildings of this village have been destroyed

and the name of the village removed from the land register

The village of Liditz has seized to exist

And it's name will never again appear on any map

Come I'll take you to the others

Father, I want to confess

I confess father to murder

Mass murder

The people of Liditz I am responsible

How were you responsible?

I killed Heydrich

What happened to Liditz is because of that

You are wrong

By that crackening, I am just as responsible

Simply for harboring you here

No, but at war...

War is the greatest evil

In war, no man could hold himself responsible for the sins of his enemy

But Father

I can't help I feel it

I'll give you a penance if it's penance you want

Anything father anything

Learn to forgive your enemy

Pray for them Jan

Pray for them

and for the souls of the departed

I forgive you in the name of the father and of the son

and of the holy ghost, Amen

Hi, Josef

Hello

- Hello, Josef - Hi

Isn't Curda with you?

No

We couldn't wait any longer

I've got some information

Yeah?

About the rights protector

Sit down over there

I got some cheese for you

Thank you

It could be one guess

Don't tell me don't tell me

- Yeah, sausages - Sausages

I want to ask a favor.

I want to go out this afternoon, Janak

Come this way

Name?

Karel Curda

Occupation?

I'm parachutist dropped by the R.A.F.

I understand you wish to make a statement

Yes

You realize that whatever you tell us

may not have the value you put on it

I am a member of the group that killed Heydrich

and I can identify the others

First you must give me an insurance

But before we make a... let's say bargains,

we must find out what you know

then we will see

Oh

Please sit down

Who are these men?

Can you give us their names?

Where they are hiding?

Josef Gabcik, Jan Kubis We were dropped together

Why are you telling us this?

Is it for the reward?

I want to protect my family

I don't want my wife and child shot, please

What do you think you could tell us

about what's found at the scene of assassination?

This one is Gabcik's

Carried his stun gun in here

Where are these two men?

I don't know Hiding in Prague somewhere

You'll have to do better than that

Where are they?

I don't know

Mr. Curda

How old is your child?

Who is it?

It's alright I'll get it

Raise your hands, turn your face to the wall

What... what do you want?

Where are they?

What are you doing? Tell them to stop

I want to know where they are

Who? Who're you talking about?

Kubis and Gabcik

Assassins where are they?

Assassins... there's no one here

Only my wife

Just take me

My husband know nothing about it

Hey Blashure!

I am sorry

Mommy

Quickly, you must warn Ata

Go to the conservator

Tell him he must not go home

He's to go straight to the crypt

and you... Hurry up!

What's the matter?

I haven't any money for the traffic

There

Mama!

Jundriska!

Papa!

My Evil-

Just tell me where they are

Why protect them?

Why be so obstinate?

You are music student, I see

Ah yes, you play the violin

We are leaving at day break

I know

The war will be over someday

I'll be back

Stay with me

I can't

I'll hide you.

You'll be safe We'll leave Prague and go somewhere else

Anna, it's not possible

Why?

Try and think of afterwards

That's what I do

When it's over I think of coming back

Seeing you again

I wish I knew you better I wish we had more time

You're right We don't know each other at all

I know nothing about you Anna

You don't even know my real name

It's not important

I never did get that red dress

No, I never saw a football match

Curda?

It's pleased to see you Curda

I... I didn't tell them

about the church... I didn't tell him

What church Ata?

Sunsils, at the Slover street

I... I didn't tell them

I didn't... l... I didn't tell them

Come back soon

Jan

My mother's...

There's nothing for you here

Kubis

Lieutenant!

- What's the matter? - They found us

The street is swirming with them

How did they find us?

Who the hell talked?

What difference does it make?

Hundreds of them

I could've warn the others

No, there isn't time

- Bahtz take cover Bubrich - follow me

Father Patrek?

Father Patrek?

Give me a hand

The passage!

Father Patrek thought it might lead to the river

At least this must go onto the street

They are re-grouping

Jesus christ there's more bastards up there

Alright, who are these men?

Are these the assassins?

No

Who are they then?

Bach...

Bubrich

and Korel

They were dropped after us

Where are the others?

Come on! It's our only chance

It's hopeless

The priest was wrong

There is no passage

Here it is

Tell him to surrender

Jan!

Josef!

Josef, give up! It's useless

Here!

Josef, Jan!

Listen!

Jusech, help Josef go up the stairs

Go on!
