- l am searching the premises!

982

01:
29:15,100 -- 01:29:20,100

l could fabricate evidence

and nobody would ever know.

983

01:
29:20,100 -- 01:29:21,900

But l don t want to.

The key.

984

01:
29:21,900 -- 01:29:24,600

- l won t tolerate this!

- Give me the key. Major...

985

01:
29:24,600 -- 01:29:27,200

take Mr. Ullman next door.

I ll interrogate him later.

986

01:
29:27,200 -- 01:29:31,200

By the way, where s

the engineer Worowka?

987

01:
29:31,200 -- 01:29:34,100

l don t know.

In Vienna, l presume.

988

01:
29:38,000 -- 01:29:39,500

Andrs!

989

01:
29:42,000 -- 01:29:43,700

Take him away.

990

01:
29:48,500 -- 01:29:49,900

Przemysl.

991

01:
29:52,200 -- 01:29:56,100

Major, make a list of

all firms, all engineers...

992

01:
29:56,100 -- 01:29:59,100

and their army partners.

993

01:
29:59,100 -- 01:30:02,100

Possible private contacts

aside from business relations.

994

01:
30:02,100 -- 01:30:06,300

But first a telegram

to the Vienna police.

995

01:
30:06,300 -- 01:30:08,900

Find and arrest

engineer Worowka.

996

01:
30:20,500 -- 01:30:23,100

- Put it back, please.

- Leave me alone.

997

01:
30:23,100 -- 01:30:25,700

I ll have to handcuff you,

if you don t.

998

01:
30:47,100 -- 01:30:49,200

Stop! Don t move.

999

01:
31:02,900 -- 01:31:04,100

Stop!

1000

01:
31:21,300 -- 01:31:23,800

Get a doctor, quick!

1001

01:
32:12,200 -- 01:32:13,600

Heir-Apparent.

1002

01:
32:13,600 -- 01:32:17,100

Christoph Kubinyi,

St. Petersburg.

1003

01:
32:33,400 -- 01:32:36,300

Turn right, please.

Right, l said.

1004

01:
33:14,200 -- 01:33:15,500

Announce me to the General.

1005

01:
33:15,500 -- 01:33:19,700

The General is retired

since yesterday.

1006

01:
33:19,700 -- 01:33:23,000

The chief of the General Staff

handles all open cases.

1007

01:
33:33,900 -- 01:33:35,100

Understand.

1008

01:
33:38,000 -- 01:33:39,800

l understand.

1009

01:
33:44,000 -- 01:33:46,800

Please allow me,

Imperial Highness...

1010

01:
33:46,800 -- 01:33:49,300

to question

Major Christoph Kubinyi.

1011

01:
33:49,300 -- 01:33:50,500

What about?

1012

01:
33:50,500 -- 01:33:52,900

I m sure that

engineer Worowka...

1013

01:
33:52,900 -- 01:33:55,300

and army supplier

Victor Ullman...

1014

01:
33:55,300 -- 01:33:58,000

conspired to pass plans

of the Przemysl fortress...

1015

01:
33:58,000 -- 01:33:59,600

to Petersburg.

1016

01:
33:59,600 -- 01:34:02,500

Galicia again.

Have you arrested them?

1017

01:
34:02,500 -- 01:34:05,200

No. Ullman

committed suicide...

1018

01:
34:05,200 -- 01:34:07,700

and Worowka

was murdered in Vienna.

1019

01:
34:07,700 -- 01:34:10,900

Once you go into action,

death follows.

1020

01:
34:10,900 -- 01:34:14,300

Przemysl. What do you want

to know from Kubinyi?

1021

01:
34:14,300 -- 01:34:19,000

lf Ullman had any military

diplomatic contacts.

1022

01:
34:20,200 -- 01:34:21,600

Tell me, Redl...

1023

01:
34:22,600 -- 01:34:24,500

are you a cruel man?

1024

01:
34:27,500 -- 01:34:31,900

Imperial Highness,

l am doing my duty.

1025

01:
34:31,900 -- 01:34:34,900

- What faith?

- As l told you, I m Catholic.

1026

01:
34:34,900 -- 01:34:39,400

- Do you like children?

- Yes, but my wife is ill.

1027

01:
34:39,400 -- 01:34:41,200

Excuse the questions.

1028

01:
34:41,200 -- 01:34:45,700

l just wonder why Roden

always backed you.

1029

01:
34:45,700 -- 01:34:48,700

Because you graduated

with honours...

1030

01:
34:48,700 -- 01:34:51,400

and you re

a good mathematician?

1031

01:
34:51,400 -- 01:34:53,800

l see no point

in you interrogating...

1032

01:
34:53,800 -- 01:34:57,100

members of the

General Staff...

1033

01:
34:57,100 -- 01:34:59,000

or harassing our

most reliable men.

1034

01:
34:59,000 -- 01:35:01,500

But this concerns

high treason.

1035

01:
35:01,500 -- 01:35:03,900

l shall decide

who is the traitor!

1036

01:
35:05,300 -- 01:35:08,200

Przemysl is of minimal

military importance.

1037

01:
35:08,200 -- 01:35:12,100

The guilty have sentenced

themselves. Case closed.

1038

01:
35:12,100 -- 01:35:15,000

You haven t succeeded

this time.

1039

01:
35:15,000 -- 01:35:17,800

A dead duplicate

is no duplicate.

1040

01:
35:17,800 -- 01:35:20,200

Spin your web better

and do it faster...

1041

01:
35:20,200 -- 01:35:24,500

or will von Kubinyi

replace a Ukrainian?

1042

01:
35:24,500 -- 01:35:27,600

- He s not like you.

- But you misunderstand me.

1043

01:
35:28,700 -- 01:35:31,500

l don t misunderstand you.

1044

01:
35:31,500 -- 01:35:34,600

Open your eyes when you

look for the enemy, Redl.

1045

01:
35:34,600 -- 01:35:36,300

You re not senile yet...

1046

01:
35:36,300 -- 01:35:39,000

like this Roden with

his watery eyes.

1047

01:
35:39,000 -- 01:35:42,000

Whom we finally managed...

1048

01:
35:42,000 -- 01:35:46,400

to put into well-earned

retirement.

1049

01:
35:49,700 -- 01:35:53,200

You admired him, or not?

1050

01:
35:55,200 -- 01:36:00,400

Your Highness, he indeed

was a bit emotional.

1051

01:
36:03,600 -- 01:36:04,900

Look, Redl.

1052

01:
36:06,300 -- 01:36:09,200

The Emperor s Waltz

isn t danced anymore.

1053

01:
36:09,200 -- 01:36:14,400

War is coming.

Can we avoid it? Maybe.

1054

01:
36:14,400 -- 01:36:18,100

However, the Monarchy

needs a spectacular case.

1055

01:
36:18,100 -- 01:36:20,900

A bit of a fright.

1056

01:
36:20,900 -- 01:36:25,900

A few days of threat and

fear, then a quick victory.

1057

01:
36:25,900 -- 01:36:27,600

War, then?

1058

01:
36:29,000 -- 01:36:32,800

A retaliation for some

assassination.

1059

01:
36:32,800 -- 01:36:38,300

Then a small, local war

for a couple of weeks...

1060

01:
36:38,300 -- 01:36:42,500

to save what can be saved.

1061

01:
36:51,100 -- 01:36:56,400

Mr. Redl. This profile

an extremely ruthless type.

1062

01:
36:56,400 -- 01:37:01,000

But something about it

suggests sensuality.

1063

01:
37:01,000 -- 01:37:04,600

- Slavic face.

- Yes, the cheekbones.

1064

01:
37:06,300 -- 01:37:10,500

Looking at this photo,

clearly a brutal personality.

1065

01:
37:13,000 -- 01:37:15,500

Lt. Colonel Redl.

1066

01:
37:17,100 -- 01:37:18,700

First we ll promote him.

1067

01:
37:18,700 -- 01:37:21,900

The whole thing

is monstrous treason.

1068

01:
37:21,900 -- 01:37:27,000

The Archduke plans a military

coup, to seize power himself.

1069

01:
37:27,000 -- 01:37:29,300

He doesn t believe

in the old Monarchy.

1070

01:
37:29,300 -- 01:37:32,900

The only one who does

is the Emperor.

1071

01:
37:32,900 -- 01:37:36,700

l hate politics!

l hate politicians!

1072

01:
37:38,800 -- 01:37:41,900

My world, yes, my world.

1073

01:
37:41,900 -- 01:37:45,200

Today l wish it would

fall apart.

1074

01:
37:45,200 -- 01:37:47,700

A quick hero s death. Done.

1075

01:
37:47,700 -- 01:37:50,400

Then we re even,

the Monarchy and l.

1076

01:
37:50,400 -- 01:37:55,200

I m forty. Do l admit that

I ve been on the wrong side...

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…
