Light Industry Section.

Outer Party Member 66755...

Davis, Miniprod, Women's Section.

That concludes the list

of known agents of Goldstein...

actively engaged in the latest conspiracy...

Not much of this gets

to the Outer Party, I'm afraid.

To our leader.

...that our eternal allies in Eurasia

are turning against us.

More nests of conspirators

and saboteurs have been uncovered...

and further arrests are expected shortly.

You can...

Yes. We are allowed that privilege.

Some more of this?

It's called wine.

There are thoughtcriminals

who maintain the Resistance is not real.

Believe me, Winston...

it is very real.

Perhaps you are not familiar

with how it operates.

I'm attentive to the news.

Indeed.

Perhaps you imagine

a huge network of conspirators...

prepared to commit

any atrocity to demoralize...

and weaken the order of our society.

The reality is infinitely more subtle.

If Goldstein himself...

fell into the hands of the Thought Police,

he could not give them a list of his agents.

Such a list does not exist.

They're not an organization

in the sense we know.

Nothing holds it together but an idea.

There is no possibility of change

in their lifetime.

In the face of the Thought Police...

they cannot act collectively.

Individually, they cheat...

forge, blackmail, corrupt children...

spread disease and prostitution...

in the name of spreading knowledge

from generation to generation.

Until...

in a thousand years...

You may find this of interest.

Thank you.

...address a rally in Victory Square

at 21.:
30 hours.

That is the end of the announcement.

Goodbye, brother.

They have attacked an unarmed village

with rocket bombs...

and murdered 4,000 defenseless, innocent...

and peaceful citizens of Oceania.

This is no longer war.

This is cold-blooded murder.

Until now, the war has been conducted

with honor...

and bravery...

with the ideals of truth and justice,

in the best traditions of mankind...

until this moment.

Brothers and sisters...

the endless catalogue of bestial atrocities...

which will inevitably ensue

from this appalling act...

must, can, and will be terminated.

The forces of darkness

and treasonable maggots...

who collaborate with them,

must, can, and will...

be wiped from the face of the earth.

We must crush them.

We must smash them.

We must stamp them out.

We, the people of Oceania...

...will not rest until a final victory

has been achieved.

Death to the eternal enemy of Oceania.

Death!

Brothers and sisters...

one week from now...

in this very square...

we shall,

as a demonstration of our resolve...

as a sure sign to those

who attempt to threaten...

our Party and our State...

we shall execute publicly...

the same number of Eastasian prisoners...

by hanging, drawing and quartering.

Big, Big, Big...

"In accordance to the principles

of Doublethink...

"it does not matter if the war is not real...

"or when it is, that victory is not possible.

"The war is not meant to be won.

It is meant to be continuous.

"The essential act of modern warfare...

"is the destruction of the produce

of human labor.

"A hierarchical society is only possible

on the basis of poverty and ignorance.

"In principle,

the war effort is always planned...

"to keep society on the brink of starvation.

"The war is waged by the ruling group

against its own subjects.

"And its object is not victory

over Eurasia or Eastasia...

"but to keep the very structure

of society intact. "

Julia?

Are you awake?

There is truth, and there is untruth.

To be in a minority of one

doesn't make you mad.

Julia, my love...

I understand how.

I don't understand why.

I'm hungry.

Let's make some more coffee.

The water's cold.

There's no oil in it.

That's strange. I thought it was full.

They say that time heals all things

They say you can always forget

But the smiles and the tears

across the years

they twist my heartstrings yet.

She's beautiful.

She's a meter across the hips. Easily.

It's her style of beauty.

The future is hers.

We are the dead.

We are the dead.

You are the dead.

Remain exactly where you are.

Make no move until you are ordered.

Now they can see us.

Now we can see you.

Clasp your hands behind your heads.

Stand out in the middle of the room.

Stand back-to-back.

Do not touch one another.

The house is surrounded.

The house is surrounded.

I suppose we may as well say goodbye.

You may as well say goodbye.

While we're on the subject...

"Here comes a candle to light you to bed.

"Here comes a chopper

to chop off your head. "

Pick that up.

Thought Police.

Parsons.

Keep away from me, Smith.

I'm an agent of Goldstein.

I didn't know it myself.

Thoughtcrime is so insidious.

It just creeps up on you.

My daughter found it out.

Very proud of her.

Very grateful I've been discovered

before it's too late.

They won't shoot me, will they, Smith?

I know I could be very useful

in a labor camp.

Room 101.

No.

Please, you don't have to take me there.

Why?

There's nothing I won't confess.

Nothing.

I've told you everything already.

What is it you want me to know?

Take him instead of me.

He's the thoughtcriminal. It's him you want.

They got you, too.

They got me a long time ago.

You knew this would happen, Winston.

Don't deceive yourself.

You've always known it.

The photos of you and the girl

will be recycled for proletarian use.

Do you know where you are, Winston?

I don't know.

I can guess.

In the Ministry of Love.

Do you know how long you've been here?

No.

Weeks?

Months?

Do you know why you're here?

Shall I tell you why we brought you here?

To cure you.

To make you sane.

That was 40.

You can see that the numbers

on this dial run up to 100.

Will you please remember

that, during our conversation?

I have it in my power

to inflict pain on you at any time...

and in whatever degree I choose.

You know perfectly well

what is the matter with you, Winston.

You've known it for years, though

you've fought against the knowledge.

You are mentally deranged.

You suffer from a defective memory.

You never tried to cure yourself of it,

because you did not choose to.

It was a small effort of will,

which you were not ready to make.

For example...

which power is Oceania at war with?

Eastasia.

Oceania is at war with Eastasia.

Eastasia.

Good.

And Oceania has always been at war

with Eastasia, has it not?

Tell me what you think you remember.

I remember...

that until only a week

before I was arrested...

we weren't at war with Eastasia at all.

It was Eurasia.

That lasted four years, I think.

Another example.

A serious delusion.

Photographs about which

you've had hallucinations...

which you believed you held in your hand.

They never existed.

Say what you were about to say, Winston.

They exist...

in memory.

I remember.

You remember.

I do not remember.

Only the disciplined mind

can see reality, Winston.

It needs an act of self-destruction...
