of the Monarchy...

883

01:
21:45,800 -- 01:21:51,800

must be shown a distinct

face of the enemy.

884

01:
21:51,900 -- 01:21:54,000

The picture of

a common enemy...

885

01:
21:54,000 -- 01:21:55,600

who threatens them.

886

01:
21:55,600 -- 01:21:58,400

The feeling of fear,

you see...

887

01:
21:58,400 -- 01:22:01,400

is the only thing

that makes an army tough.

888

01:
22:03,500 -- 01:22:05,900

Think it over, Colonel.

889

01:
22:05,900 -- 01:22:10,000

Check your files and submit

a suggestion to me, soon.

890

01:
22:10,000 -- 01:22:13,300

It should relate

to the Balkan...

891

01:
22:13,300 -- 01:22:16,300

and the action

of Russian forces.

892

01:
22:18,100 -- 01:22:20,500

Or possible French.

893

01:
22:22,900 -- 01:22:24,700

You have full authority.

894

01:
22:24,700 -- 01:22:28,400

How long have you known

Colonel von Komjathy?

895

01:
22:28,400 -- 01:22:32,300

Since l was in the 32nd

Maria Theresia Regiment.

896

01:
22:33,900 -- 01:22:37,800

Cognac? Grappa? Liquor?

What would you like?

897

01:
22:37,800 -- 01:22:40,200

Cognac, please, if l may.

898

01:
22:41,700 -- 01:22:45,900

Who are the confidants

of Colonel von Komjathy?

899

01:
22:45,900 -- 01:22:51,300

Komjathy?

I m sorry, l can t remember.

900

01:
22:53,500 -- 01:22:54,900

Thank you.

901

01:
22:59,600 -- 01:23:02,500

l thought you were

a bright peasant boy.

902

01:
23:09,700 -- 01:23:11,600

Think it over.

903

01:
23:12,700 -- 01:23:15,700

Will one afternoon

be sufficient...

904

01:
23:15,700 -- 01:23:17,700

to give me

an accurate list...

905

01:
23:17,700 -- 01:23:20,700

of officers relations

in your garrison?

906

01:
23:47,000 -- 01:23:49,400

The building material

contract...

907

01:
23:49,400 -- 01:23:52,700

for the Przemysl fortress

was signed by Ullman.

908

01:
23:52,700 -- 01:23:56,100

The engineer responsible

was Worowka.

909

01:
23:56,100 -- 01:23:59,000

To whom did you pass

on the material?

910

01:
24:01,400 -- 01:24:05,300

Whom did you hand

the material? Where?

911

01:
24:06,000 -- 01:24:07,000

And how?

912

01:
24:07,000 -- 01:24:11,900

There are five cases at our

disposal, unfortunately...

913

01:
24:11,900 -- 01:24:16,900

each case amounts to

high treason.

914

01:
24:16,900 -- 01:24:18,600

l suggest

we remove a case...

915

01:
24:18,600 -- 01:24:20,900

from the military court

and make it public.

916

01:
24:20,900 -- 01:24:22,900

With special reference...

917

01:
24:22,900 -- 01:24:27,900

to the equality

guilty environment.

918

01:
24:27,900 -- 01:24:30,600

We do it so spectacularly...

919

01:
24:30,600 -- 01:24:33,900

that it creates tension

throughout the army...

920

01:
24:33,900 -- 01:24:36,300

and among the civilian

population.

921

01:
24:36,300 -- 01:24:41,100

l suggest a public trial

with press coverage...

922

01:
24:41,100 -- 01:24:43,100

and many witnesses.

923

01:
24:43,100 -- 01:24:45,000

The idea is excellent,

Redl.

924

01:
24:45,000 -- 01:24:47,800

It all depends on

the person accused.

925

01:
24:48,800 -- 01:24:52,900

l suggest either the case

of Max von Dornheim...

926

01:
24:53,900 -- 01:24:58,400

or Colonel Gyrgy von

Komjathy, from Budapest.

927

01:
24:59,500 -- 01:25:00,600

Please.

928

01:
25:03,000 -- 01:25:04,600

Look, Lt. Colonel.

929

01:
25:05,800 -- 01:25:09,100

This trial must show

the army and the officers...

930

01:
25:09,200 -- 01:25:12,200

that the enemy s

in our ranks...

931

01:
25:12,200 -- 01:25:14,400

and that we ll

strike down anyone...

932

01:
25:14,400 -- 01:25:16,000

who neglects his duty.

933

01:
25:16,000 -- 01:25:19,500

At the same time, we must

show the whole world...

934

01:
25:19,500 -- 01:25:22,200

a united and strong

Austro-Hungarian army.

935

01:
25:22,200 -- 01:25:24,200

That s politics.

936

01:
25:24,200 -- 01:25:27,800

So, the accused

cannot be Austrian...

937

01:
25:27,800 -- 01:25:30,000

certainly not

Austrian aristocrat.

938

01:
25:30,000 -- 01:25:33,200

It d weaken the trust

in the leadership.

939

01:
25:33,200 -- 01:25:35,000

He cannot be Hungarian...

940

01:
25:35,000 -- 01:25:38,400

since we live

in a dual Monarchy.

941

01:
25:38,400 -- 01:25:40,900

We don t want to irritate

the enemy within.

942

01:
25:40,900 -- 01:25:45,300

Also cannot be a Czech.

They keep demonstrating.

943

01:
25:45,300 -- 01:25:48,800

Too many

independence movements.

944

01:
25:48,800 -- 01:25:51,600

They would see

as a provocation.

945

01:
25:56,900 -- 01:25:58,900

It certainly can t be

a Jew.

946

01:
25:58,900 -- 01:26:01,200

The Dreyfus affair

enraged all of Europe.

947

01:
26:01,200 -- 01:26:05,100

We d stir up an international

storm of indignation...

948

01:
26:05,100 -- 01:26:08,600

and upset the Emperor s

important links...

949

01:
26:08,600 -- 01:26:11,000

with the Rothschild bank.

950

01:
26:11,000 -- 01:26:12,900

And finally...

951

01:
26:14,500 -- 01:26:17,100

no Serb or Croat.

952

01:
26:17,100 -- 01:26:19,700

That zone is too hot and

must be tackled otherwise.

953

01:
26:22,600 -- 01:26:26,200

You have Hungarian

blood in you?

954

01:
26:26,200 -- 01:26:28,100

Ukrainian.

955

01:
26:29,600 -- 01:26:32,700

That s what we need,

a Ukrainian.

956

01:
26:32,700 -- 01:26:36,600

Look for a duplicate

of yourself, Redl.

957

01:
26:36,600 -- 01:26:38,200

I d have to search Galicia.

958

01:
26:38,200 -- 01:26:39,600

Then look there.

959

01:
26:39,600 -- 01:26:44,500

Similar background,

career and connections.

960

01:
26:46,600 -- 01:26:48,500

That can t be a problem

for you.

961

01:
26:48,500 -- 01:26:50,800

You have files

on everyone...

962

01:
26:50,800 -- 01:26:54,000

with your

wide network of agents.

963

01:
27:28,800 -- 01:27:30,100

What happened?

964

01:
27:30,100 -- 01:27:32,600

I m included in the

Archdukes schemes.

965

01:
27:34,400 -- 01:27:37,600

The bullets are whistling

past my ears.

966

01:
27:42,600 -- 01:27:46,000

Colonel, we have

the answer for you.

967

01:
27:46,000 -- 01:27:47,400

Dismissed.

968

01:
27:55,200 -- 01:27:59,300

Salapska! Salapska!

Were you asleep?

969

01:
27:59,300 -- 01:28:01,600

l need a special train

from the Ministry...

970

01:
28:01,600 -- 01:28:04,100

and notify

Commandant Lemberg...

971

01:
28:04,100 -- 01:28:06,400

to put Victor Ullman

under surveillance.

972

01:
28:06,400 -- 01:28:10,200

But not open action before

my arrival. Immediately.

973

01:
28:33,500 -- 01:28:35,200

Good evening.

974

01:
28:35,200 -- 01:28:37,800

- Are you Victor Ullman?

- Yes. How can l help you?

975

01:
28:37,800 -- 01:28:39,700

l must speak to you

in private.

976

01:
28:39,700 -- 01:28:42,100

- Why?

- Please come.

977

01:
28:44,000 -- 01:28:45,600

- This way.

- Go ahead.

978

01:
28:46,600 -- 01:28:47,900

Excuse me.

979

01:
28:48,900 -- 01:28:51,200

- Salapska.

- Andrs!

980

01:
29:06,100 -- 01:29:09,200

Give me the keys to the

safe and your desk.

981

01:
29:09,200 -- 01:29:13,000

- May l have an explanation?

István Szabó

István Szabó (Hungarian: [ˈsɒboː ˈiʃtvaːn]; born February 18, 1938) is a Hungarian film director, screenwriter, and opera director. Szabó is the most internationally famous Hungarian filmmaker since the late 1960s. Working in the tradition of European auteurism, he has made films that represent many of the political and psychological conflicts of Central Europe’s recent history, as well as of his own personal history. He made his first short film in 1959 as a student at the Hungarian Academy of Theatrical and Cinematic Arts, and his first feature film in 1964. He achieved his greatest international success with Mephisto (1981), which won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. Since then, most of Szabó's films have been international co-productions filmed in a variety of languages and European locations. He has continued to make some films in Hungarian, however, and even in his international co-productions, he often films in Hungary and uses Hungarian talent. Szabó became involved in a national controversy in 2006 when the Hungarian newspaper Life and Literature revealed that he had been an informant of the Communist regime’s secret police. more…
