Boxer a smrt Page #4

The KO now, and l win.

One, two, three... six, seven...

Box!

One more!

l lost.

How are you feeling, Walter?

Well.

lsn't he presumptuous?

lt's a sport!

Really very well, boy!

But you don't attack enough.

lt is not possible all the time.

You must attack!

Otherwise l forget to defend myself,

you counter-attack, and l look

like stupid!

l'll try to.

l should think so.

The seventh round!

Ready! Box!

Come on, Walter! Cross!

Keel over, young one!

What punches!

Give him his due!

Well, Komnek.

Very well!

l am losing springiness.

l feel my feet are swelling.

Go down at last! Our stake is

in the bag.

The eighth round!

Ready!

One, two... six, seven... Box!

Come on!

The ninth round!

What was the use of it?

l don't know if l am able

to stand it.

A**hole! We could have had

time off now.

After the match, Willie.

Don't say you want to win!

The last round!

Ready!

Walter Kraft won seven rounds,

the convict Komnek three.

The winner is the commander.

Your punch starts being harder.

Congratulations.

But don't think you would have won.

l would have been on my feet

at nine.

Let's have a shower now, boxer.

Commander, l'd like... to ask...

What do you need?

lt is hard... to fight with you.

l need kilometres in my feet.

l need kilometres in my feet.

Don't you feel fit?

No, l don't.

You will run.

Here?

With me. Equal conditions.

Old chap, l'll go running.

What?

Where is Venlak?

When?

- He was down three times.

- Was he?

l could have won.

And l will.

l'll show what l can once at least.

- And what then?

- l must sleep now.

Mom, don't beat me!

Training?

Yes, sir.

Will you join me, Commander?

Frankly speaking, l won't.

l had a trainer, he is dead.

He used to say three rounds after

a difficult match would do no harm.

What does he say?

Three rounds after a difficult

match will do no harm.

Helga, what do you say?

You'd better have a rest.

The sportsman should supply

his heart with blood a little.

Three rounds?

Everything in moderation.

Two?

Therefore one round only.

One round?

Do you plan to become

the world champion?

One round, not more!

Will that be enough for you,

Commander?

Absolutely.

Good.

- Good morning.

- Morning, Doc!

Don't you fight too much?

Oh no! One round only.

lt is good for the heart

after a strenuous match.

You seem to know a lot about

everything!

Even in medicine.

Thank you, Doctor.

- No bet today?

- We can.

No! A friendly match.

Stop it, Doctor! He will kill him!

Who will kill whom?

Shall we finish?

Shall l blow the final whistle?

No. lt is but sport.

Release me! Bastard, he hit

below the belt!

l shall teach you the rules!

l let you live but you hit

below the belt!

- The punch was by the rules.

- Shut up!

The punch was fair.

Holder, he's yours.

l thought the convict would be mine

when you don't need him.

You have the whole camp

for experiments.

This is an extraordinary case.

l examine the impact of boxing

on living organism.

l am not interested

in your problems!

l have devoted myself to him

for a long time.

He who fouls has no right to live!

As a referee l am almost sure

the punch was fair.

What do you say?

Holder, take care of the convict!

Thank you, Mr. Willie.

lt was nasty.

l don't know if it's a good idea.

What?

You shouldn't have left him

to Holder.

He's a bastard. He hits

below the belt.

Sure, you are right.

But there are also other opinions.

- Like?

- Like that of Gluch.

lf you send Komnek to the gas

chamber people will say

it is because of the knock-out.

l don't care.

Now.

But when you come back to the ring

after the war

you'll be pointed the finger at.

Don't you understand?

He hit below the belt!

Be high-minded! You're a sportsman.

Nobody can suspect

you have behaved badly.

Shall l appear in the call place

with such a face?

lt is not so important now.

To come to the ring after the war

with untarnished reputation is what matters.

Do you think some people are

so mean

they could blame me

for my decision due to unfair

behaviour?

People are even worse. Much worse.

He did beat Kraft!

Commander, let me give him a lesson.

You will see a punch now, boxer.

The commander orders to bring

the convict back now!

Come closer, Komnek.

Your name is Anton Lipinsky now,

is it clear?

These are documents about

his release.

He is free now... in a way.

You are Lipinsky now.

You must be behind the gate

in five minutes, is it clear?

Yes, sir.

There are your clothes! Put them on!

Willie, will the alarm sound?

What?

Will 40 people from my room be sent

to the chamber for my escape?

Oh God, why do you care?

Translate it!

What does he say?

He asks whether there will be

usual measures.

A**hole! l am giving you life!

Get out!

l want justice.

l don't translate.

l want... fair play, Commander.

He who hits below the belt has

no right to use that word.

Will there be alarm?

l want to be sure in one thing.

The punch was below the belt,

wasn't it?

Here, your papers.

Willie, see Lipinsky out,

behind the camp gate.

There will be no alarm.

Holder, frankly, was it

a fair punch?

Komnek knocked you out fairly.

He was better than you.

But that does not matter.

May l have a call?

To Berlin?

Exactly.

Don't bother, Holder.

We shall do so ourselves.

Give my regards to Gabika!

You?

Good morning.

Good morning.

l love red roses.

They grow wild in our place.

Follow me!

Daddy!

Dad, he came from that place.

Welcome. We've been waiting

for a year but nobody so far.

Everything is ready.

Halina is to walk you.

Rest in peace...

Don't worry, we have

a good shelter.

Hurry!

Come on! Let's not waste time!

I came to tell you, the escape

is being prepared,

be ready and wait.

Will you come too?

I'll try to.
