his own fate?

1274

02:
02:20,500 -- 02:02:23,600

He won t even agree

to a public trial.

1275

02:
02:23,600 -- 02:02:26,100

We re speaking of a traitor.

1276

02:
02:26,100 -- 02:02:29,400

One can only deal with

a traitor when he s dead.

1277

02:
02:29,400 -- 02:02:32,600

l won t inquire

how this man...

1278

02:
02:32,600 -- 02:02:36,500

managed to get

into the Ministry.

1279

02:
02:36,500 -- 02:02:39,900

Who backed him,

or whom he deceived.

1280

02:
02:39,900 -- 02:02:42,800

These questions will be

answered later.

1281

02:
02:43,800 -- 02:02:48,900

For the people

of the Monarchy...

1282

02:
02:48,900 -- 02:02:51,000

we re dealing

with an officer...

1283

02:
02:51,000 -- 02:02:54,600

in the Imperial

War Ministry.

1284

02:
02:54,600 -- 02:03:00,500

So, l suggest he should be

allowed to end it himself.

1285

02:
03:00,500 -- 02:03:03,700

And we can publish the

version acceptable to us.

1286

02:
03:03,700 -- 02:03:06,200

A third solution.

1287

02:
03:06,200 -- 02:03:08,600

What is the public told

in this case?

1288

02:
03:08,600 -- 02:03:13,600

He picked a certified letter,

two detectives saw him...

1289

02:
03:13,600 -- 02:03:16,500

he was captured

trying to escape...

1290

02:
03:16,500 -- 02:03:18,200

and committed suicide.

1291

02:
03:19,700 -- 02:03:21,000

Yes?

1292

02:
03:21,000 -- 02:03:23,500

Your Highness,

in this case...

1293

02:
03:23,500 -- 02:03:26,600

journalists will insist

on details.

1294

02:
03:26,600 -- 02:03:29,900

He might have torn

the envelope...

1295

02:
03:29,900 -- 02:03:33,100

and mislaid the pieces

or left it in a car.

1296

02:
03:33,100 -- 02:03:36,000

Or his penknife he used

to open the envelope...

1297

02:
03:36,000 -- 02:03:40,100

or the penknife case.

1298

02:
03:40,100 -- 02:03:43,000

Very good. It should be

published like this.

1299

02:
03:43,000 -- 02:03:47,100

l suggest it s not published

like that. It should leak out.

1300

02:
03:47,100 -- 02:03:48,600

But not in Vienna.

1301

02:
03:48,600 -- 02:03:51,300

In Lemberg,

Budapest, or Prague.

1302

02:
03:51,300 -- 02:03:54,000

Let some bright reporter

uncover it.

1303

02:
03:54,000 -- 02:03:57,300

We just plant the clues

that lead to Redl.

1304

02:
03:57,300 -- 02:04:01,200

We should check a list of

all journalists in Prague.

1305

02:
04:01,200 -- 02:04:03,600

Any counter-suggestions,

gentlemen?

1306

02:
04:04,700 -- 02:04:07,400

l also think this is

the best solution.

1307

02:
04:07,400 -- 02:04:09,600

Lt. Colonel Kubinyi...

1308

02:
04:09,600 -- 02:04:13,200

your opposition

led to this solution.

1309

02:
04:13,200 -- 02:04:16,100

You ll visit Redl,

as an old comrade...

1310

02:
04:16,100 -- 02:04:19,700

and hand him

your service revolver.

1311

02:
04:19,700 -- 02:04:23,300

Your Highness, l can t

perform this task.

1312

02:
04:23,300 -- 02:04:27,200

An officer cannot take

action against a superior.

1313

02:
04:35,300 -- 02:04:39,600

By the grace of the Emperor

and by my own decision...

1314

02:
04:39,600 -- 02:04:43,200

l promote

Lt. Colonel Kubinyi...

1315

02:
04:43,200 -- 02:04:46,500

to Colonel of the

Austro-Hungarian Army.

1316

02:
04:47,800 -- 02:04:51,000

My orders takes effect

immediately.

1317

02:
05:25,000 -- 02:05:26,500

Colonel...

1318

02:
05:26,500 -- 02:05:28,900

you know how to use

the weapon.

1319

02:
05:28,900 -- 02:05:33,000

You will have a moment,

but please be brief.

1320

02:
05:46,400 -- 02:05:48,800

Then there is no trial.

1321

02:
05:56,000 -- 02:05:58,900

Is there anyone you wish

to say goodbye to?

1322

02:
09:16,600 -- 02:09:18,700

Make sure you get

out of here, quickly.

1323

02:
10:45,100 -- 02:10:48,200

A briefcase and matching

wallet, leather...

1324

02:
10:48,200 -- 02:10:52,400

with the monogram A.R.

Eighty crowns.

1325

02:
10:52,400 -- 02:10:54,600

One bid for eighty.

1326

02:
10:56,600 -- 02:10:59,400

- Ninety.

- One hundred.

1327

02:
10:59,400 -- 02:11:01,500

- One hundred...

- A hundred twenty.

1328

02:
11:01,500 -- 02:11:05,900

One hundred and twenty.

Going once, twice, sold!

1329

02:
11:16,500 -- 02:11:21,600

Next a child s poem,

handwritten.

1330

02:
11:21,600 -- 02:11:24,500

Dedicated to our

Emperor and King.

1331

02:
11:24,500 -- 02:11:26,600

Like the dew

from Heaven sent...

1332

02:
11:26,600 -- 02:11:28,800

may on him

be blessings spent.

1333

02:
11:28,800 -- 02:11:31,400

May they give the strength

he needs...

1334

02:
11:31,400 -- 02:11:34,900

for all of his

majestic deeds.

1335

02:
11:34,900 -- 02:11:38,100

Alfred Redl, elementary

school pupil.

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…
