THE JESENKY MOUNTAINS,

SEPTEMBER 1989

umperk 11:
27.

STATE BORDER:

Do not cross!

Freeze!

Alarm!

Don't move!

Get him!

People would come here

mostly from up north.

Enarmed with hoes, saws, axes

and a lot of strength

which was needed here.

They'd never come here alone

because this place swallows loners.

The Mute was alone.

He came back to take a revenge.

Train 46583 left Bl Potok

at 9:
42. Nebel. Over and out.

...followed by the forecast

for today, 24th of September 1989.

Sunny over most of Czechoslovakia,

with temperatures from 15 to 18C.

Where have you been all night?

Hello, Alois.

Looks like rain.

I don't know.

- What's up? -You were supposed to

start your shift two hours ago.

Who gives a f***?

I had to see my father.

Wachek here.

There might be some delay.

I've got the American cigs.

From Poland, but very cheap.

F***ing trains!

Take it or leave it!

Who gives a f***.

Bring that box over here!

- The pork will be in the next

delivery. -And the vodka?

It's all on its way.

Leave the booze here.

The tins go in the back.

- Shut it, Vasil!

- Dad!

Have you seen

fireworks last night?

No, why?

Some freak crossed the border.

What's that got to do with me?

It's pissing down out there.

- Who's that guy?

- Who?

- The one hanging around outside.

- I didn't see anyone.

I've got to make a call.

It's business.

What are you doing here?

Have you got a ticket?

Hi guys.

- Your I.D. card!

- Do you hear me?

- Get up!

- Do you want a hand?

Ow! That was a f*** up, you a**hole!

Stop it!

- Let's move!

- That must be him!

Bastard!

I've got a good nose for criminals!

What's wrong with

people these days?

They really laid into him.

Or I laid into him, more like.

I'd have liked to see that.

I knocked him down with one punch.

Shut it, Vasil!

Who's the guy?

They don't know.

He keeps his mouth shut.

You don't know

how to ask nicely, do you?

We always knew how to ask nicely.

Get in the trains!

Alois!

BL POTOK, JUNE 1945

Move it!

Fast! There's still

some space up front.

Dorothe.

Don't be a fool. Stay here with me.

You don't have to leave.

- No. I can't.

- Yes, you can.

- You just have to say the word.

- I don't want to. -Dorothe!

- What are you doing here, Alois?

- Where are you going?

Don't be afraid.

Everything will be fine.

What did I tell you, son?

- Goodbye, Dorothe.

- Goodbye, Mr Nebel. Bye, Alois.

Alois...

Alois?

What are you doing here?

You can't stay here.

It's too late.

Dorothe, what happened to you?

Nothing. Nothing...

Everything will be fine.

Let's go.

Don't worry, Alois.

It's going to be fine.

Mr Nebel, we want to help you.

But if you don't want to be helped,

there's nothing we can do.

A sort of fog

comes over me sometimes.

Fog?

Great. A fog...

- Want another?

- No, I'm driving.

- Has that guy spoken yet?

- Not a word.

...gathered around the Berlin Wall

after the SED Party announced

that East-German citizens will be

allowed to travel to West Germany.

Before midnight all border crossings

in Berlin were opened...

- What about our Alois?

How's it looking? -Not good.

- So, you'll keep him for a while?

- Don't worry.

Thanks.

Bye.

Wake up!

Come on, Mr Fog!

You'll be late again.

Good morning. Sit down.

So Mr Nebel...

Sit down. How are you feeling?

Are you still spending

as much time on the toilet?

No.

Quiet!

That probably means

you're getting better.

Are you finding

the work therapy helpful?

- Yes.

- Is he cooperating?

He tries.

- Is he sleeping?

- On and off.

Then give him another rohypnol.

The Jesenk train.

Hello, Mr Nebel.

Captain Kwiatkowski.

Secret police.

The director wants to see you.

Come back! Freeze!

Sh*t!

- He doesn't speak.

- He must have said something.

You were seen

talking to each other.

He doesn't speak.

He's mute.

What do you mean, mute?

We'll loosen his tongue!

And yours too!

He won't say anything.

Mr Nebel, try to remember.

OK. Send in the next one.

You may go.

Hi, guys.

I heard he escaped.

Got him yet?

No.

Sh*t...

We found this in his stuff.

Do you recognize anyone?

No.

Let's get started.

I have to release Nebel.

Fine. I've already moved him out.

No one ever escaped us.

They found a photograph.

And if they tried, they got

what they deserved. Our way.

It was an old photo.

You and Nebel's dad were in it.

Did you say anything?

No. Why?

Stolichnaya too.

And tins, pork.

Of course.

How many do you want?

Take them or leave them.

Bye.

You look fit as a fiddle, Alois.

Don't look at me like that.

They had to give the job

to someone with experience.

The decision was made over my head.

They don't let us have a say.

You know that.

Don't worry,

I kept all your things for you.

I don't know

what I'm supposed to do.

Nobody does these days.

It's a new era, you know.

You should go and ask

at the Prague headquarters.

Bl Potok?

But this is a matter for the

regional office in Olomouc.

- They sent me here.

- Yeah? Which idiot sent you here?

I was ill, but I'm better now.

So I wanted to ask...

And what do you think that has

to do with us here? Mr...

Nebel. Alois Nebel.

This is the Prague Main Station!

Can you help me?

Mr Nebel, there's nothing

I can do about this.

We have more important problems,

in case you hadn't noticed.

You have to come some other time.

Maybe after Christmas.

Prague Evening Post!

Borders open for travel!

Prague Evening Post!

Vclav Havel runs for president!

Prague Evening Post!

A man killed his mother with an axe!

What are you doing here?

That's my seat.

- I'm sorry. I didn't know that.

- Hold on.

I'm a railway man too.

Well, I used to be.

To the railway.

Kvta!

Kvta dear!

Is our little ladybug here?

- Did you learn that in prison?

- No, in the kindergarten.

- But you never learnt to pay!

- My friend here is treating me today

Friend, you say?

- Is that enough?

- Yes.

Kvta is like a mother to us.

But you've got to look after

yourself and be clean-shaven.

Then she'll give you

everything you need.

Clear off, you whore!

- Keep your hair on, you cow.

- Buzz off!

I won't have anyone turning

this place into a brothel.

- Those eyes of yours, I'd fall into

them straight away. -Get lost.

- So you're a railway man?
