01:
52:19,200 -- 01:52:21,300

Our Father...

1180

01:
52:23,800 -- 01:52:26,400

who art in Heaven...

1181

01:
52:37,200 -- 01:52:40,100

Perhaps l should have

tried this earlier.

1182

01:
53:51,500 -- 01:53:53,000

Thank you.

1183

01:
54:51,600 -- 01:54:54,000

Salapska. Colonel,

we must speak to you.

1184

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

Come in.

1185

01:
55:01,800 -- 01:55:05,000

We have orders to disarm

and arrest you.

1186

01:
55:14,700 -- 01:55:16,300

Which is

Colonel Red s room?

1187

01:
55:16,300 -- 01:55:18,400

First floor, number 71.

1188

01:
55:18,400 -- 01:55:20,700

He has officers visiting

already.

1189

01:
55:38,200 -- 01:55:41,000

Major Salapska reporting.

This way.

1190

01:
56:21,500 -- 01:56:27,100

You ll be court-martialled

for passing military secrets.

1191

01:
56:27,100 -- 01:56:31,500

The court-martial will decide

your fate in an open hearing.

1192

01:
56:31,500 -- 01:56:34,700

- I ve been provoked.

- No, we were!

1193

01:
56:34,700 -- 01:56:39,800

Since you were in Fiume,

you ve been a traitor.

1194

01:
56:39,800 -- 01:56:43,100

The Archduke chose me

because our friendship...

1195

01:
56:43,100 -- 01:56:45,600

and your relations

with my sister...

1196

01:
56:45,600 -- 01:56:47,800

make you part of our family.

1197

01:
56:48,800 -- 01:56:53,100

He asked me to deliver his

message to you personally.

1198

01:
56:54,600 -- 01:56:57,600

Behave properly in court

and admit the charges...

1199

01:
56:57,600 -- 01:57:00,300

then the sentence

will be light.

1200

01:
57:01,400 -- 01:57:06,700

Or you ll be sentenced

for treason and betrayal.

1201

01:
57:07,900 -- 01:57:09,400

Betrayal.

1202

01:
57:10,600 -- 01:57:13,500

Is a national

virtue nowadays.

1203

01:
57:14,700 -- 01:57:17,400

I m sorry we re meeting

again like this.

1204

01:
57:18,400 -- 01:57:20,700

lf it s any consolation,

some people know...

1205

01:
57:20,700 -- 01:57:22,900

and I ve told them...

1206

01:
57:24,800 -- 01:57:28,600

no officer has been

more reliable than you.

1207

01:
57:32,400 -- 01:57:35,400

Alfred, l really would like

to have your child.

1208

01:
57:48,000 -- 01:57:51,700

Do what you re

expected to...

1209

01:
57:51,700 -- 01:57:54,200

and nothing will happen

to you.

1210

01:
57:56,200 -- 01:57:59,500

Haven t you noticed

that no one s on your side?

1211

01:
58:00,900 -- 01:58:03,400

Nobody but me.

1212

01:
58:05,100 -- 01:58:06,700

Children?

1213

01:
58:11,100 -- 01:58:13,200

Now...

1214

01:
58:16,000 -- 01:58:18,200

l don t like children

anymore.

1215

01:
58:31,700 -- 01:58:35,000

They telegraphed me

to come here from Fiume.

1216

01:
58:36,100 -- 01:58:38,200

May l?

1217

01:
58:41,700 -- 01:58:44,000

How do they know

we were friends?

1218

01:
58:44,000 -- 01:58:45,400

They know everything.

1219

01:
58:46,400 -- 01:58:50,100

- Did you betray secrets?

- Not the way you heard.

1220

01:
58:50,100 -- 01:58:54,200

Then stand up in court

and defend yourself.

1221

01:
58:54,200 -- 01:58:57,900

The court only accepts

evidence that can be proved.

1222

01:
58:57,900 -- 01:59:02,100

The Emperor would never

allow an unjust verdict.

1223

01:
59:02,100 -- 01:59:06,000

lf the charge is false,

they can t take the uniform.

1224

01:
59:06,000 -- 01:59:10,700

They ll take yours, too,

if it suits them.

1225

01:
59:10,700 -- 01:59:14,000

They might need

a better scapegoat soon.

1226

01:
59:14,000 -- 01:59:16,000

Then it ll be your turn.

The Jews.

1227

01:
59:16,000 -- 01:59:20,000

The simplest solution.

Popular, too.

1228

01:
59:20,000 -- 01:59:23,400

None of us will be wearing

this uniform much longer.

1229

01:
59:25,700 -- 01:59:28,700

l converted to Christianity,

you know that.

1230

01:
59:29,700 -- 01:59:31,500

And what shall l do?

1231

01:
59:31,500 -- 01:59:33,400

My grandfather...

1232

01:
59:33,400 -- 01:59:36,800

Doctor Ignaz Sonnenschein,

always said...

1233

01:
59:36,800 -- 01:59:42,700

Lord, you didn t make me

Moses or an Emperor.

1234

01:
59:42,700 -- 01:59:46,100

So you can only hold me

accountable...

1235

01:
59:46,100 -- 01:59:51,900

for being Doctor Ignaz

Sonnenschein all my life .

1236

01:
59:55,700 -- 01:59:58,100

Tell them what

they want to hear.

1237

01:
59:58,100 -- 02:00:00,200

It s just

another year or two.

1238

02:
00:01,900 -- 02:00:03,900

l dreamed about you.

1239

02:
00:04,900 -- 02:00:09,400

l walked in darkness and

you showed me the way out.

1240

02:
00:10,800 -- 02:00:12,800

We should live together.

1241

02:
00:13,800 -- 02:00:16,200

We re talking about

the head of Intelligence.

1242

02:
00:16,200 -- 02:00:21,200

He was the head, Captain.

Is that clear?

1243

02:
00:21,200 -- 02:00:24,600

Yes, sir. But Colonel Redl

was my superior.

1244

02:
00:24,600 -- 02:00:28,500

Didn t you ever notice

anything about his behaviour?

1245

02:
00:28,500 -- 02:00:31,100

Yes, Colonel.

His will to work.

1246

02:
00:31,100 -- 02:00:34,200

He rarely slept or ate,

just kept working.

1247

02:
00:35,200 -- 02:00:37,100

Gentlemen...

1248

02:
00:37,100 -- 02:00:40,300

Remain seated. How are

the trial preparations?

1249

02:
00:40,300 -- 02:00:44,400

He won t cooperate.

I d have this traitor shot.

1250

02:
00:44,400 -- 02:00:46,700

The paper could call it

an accident.

1251

02:
00:46,700 -- 02:00:50,300

He was run over or fell out

of a hotel window.

1252

02:
00:50,300 -- 02:00:52,300

Then a military funeral.

1253

02:
00:52,300 -- 02:00:56,500

I m not sure yet what s best

for the Monarchy.

1254

02:
00:56,500 -- 02:00:58,500

No other aspect matters.

1255

02:
01:01,500 -- 02:01:03,000

Well, gentlemen.

1256

02:
01:04,900 -- 02:01:08,000

Solution 1:

an open hearing.

1257

02:
01:08,000 -- 02:01:10,700

But Redl won t cooperate.

1258

02:
01:12,200 -- 02:01:15,000

- Correct?

- Yes, Your Highness.

1259

02:
01:15,000 -- 02:01:19,100

Not to mention that Redl

has a lot of information...

1260

02:
01:19,100 -- 02:01:22,700

which he might disclose

at the trial...

1261

02:
01:22,700 -- 02:01:25,400

with unpleasant results.

1262

02:
01:25,400 -- 02:01:27,300

Solution 2:

a closed hearing.

1263

02:
01:27,300 -- 02:01:30,800

Sentence made public

after execution...

1264

02:
01:30,800 -- 02:01:34,100

in such detail that it

alarms the whole army...

1265

02:
01:34,100 -- 02:01:40,900

and also the whole civilian

population. Do you agree?

1266

02:
01:43,700 -- 02:01:47,600

Whoever agrees

should raise his hand.

1267

02:
01:56,000 -- 02:02:00,300

Lt. Colonel Kubinyi,

you don t agree?

1268

02:
02:00,300 -- 02:02:02,900

Imperial Highness,

l beg to reply, no.

1269

02:
02:06,200 -- 02:02:07,900

What do you suggest?

1270

02:
02:09,100 -- 02:02:12,900

Redl should have the chance

to decide his own fate.

1271

02:
02:12,900 -- 02:02:15,700

You were his school friend,

hence prejudiced.

1272

02:
02:15,700 -- 02:02:18,100

Principally, you re right.

1273

02:
02:18,100 -- 02:02:20,500

How can Redl decide

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…
