- l think it was von Gencsy.

- Very good, Redl.

102

00:
14:56,100 -- 00:14:58,500

You ll be a loyal soldier

to His Majesty.

103

00:
14:58,500 -- 00:15:00,500

You are a bright

peasant boy.

104

00:
15:03,600 -- 00:15:05,500

Dismissed!

105

00:
15:06,300 -- 00:15:07,900

Judas!

106

00:
15:09,400 -- 00:15:12,700

l am a Judas.

l am not a soldier.

107

00:
15:12,700 -- 00:15:15,000

Those over there

are soldiers.

108

00:
15:17,300 -- 00:15:19,400

l am a treacherous peasant.

109

00:
15:56,600 -- 00:16:01,700

Colonel Feldhauer wants to

see Cadet Redl in his office.

110

00:
16:01,700 -- 00:16:06,500

Well... l have to

tell you something.

111

00:
16:06,500 -- 00:16:13,100

Redl, you father has died.

Here s the telegram.

112

00:
16:12,800 -- 00:16:18,700

You ll get leave of course.

lf you should need anything...

113

00:
16:18,700 -- 00:16:21,900

money for the journey or

a wreath for the grave...

114

00:
16:21,900 -- 00:16:26,300

please tell me.

You can count on me.

115

00:
16:28,500 -- 00:16:32,500

Colonel, may l ask for

permission to stay here...

116

00:
16:32,500 -- 00:16:35,000

l want to take part

in His Majesty s...

117

00:
16:35,000 -- 00:16:36,800

name-day celebration.

118

00:
16:40,300 -- 00:16:46,800

Now that Emperor

Franz Josef the First...

119

00:
16:46,800 -- 00:16:51,200

has become your godfather

and by the bond...

120

00:
16:51,200 -- 00:16:55,300

of our Holy Church,

you have become his sons.

121

00:
16:55,300 -- 00:16:58,300

Our Father, Franz Josef.

122

00:
16:58,300 -- 00:17:03,400

You may call him that

from this day forward...

123

00:
17:03,400 -- 00:17:07,500

with humble pride

and the right to do so.

124

00:
17:07,500 -- 00:17:13,000

By the sacrament

of confirmation...

125

00:
17:13,000 -- 00:17:15,700

you re accepted

as his sons.

126

00:
17:15,700 -- 00:17:20,500

This will make the bond

between you all...

127

00:
17:20,500 -- 00:17:24,400

between you and the army...

128

00:
17:24,400 -- 00:17:29,400

between you and His Majesty

even more indissoluble.

129

00:
17:29,400 -- 00:17:34,300

May your filial gratitude,

your filial loyalty...

130

00:
17:34,300 -- 00:17:39,300

preserve this bond

with the Lord God...

131

00:
17:39,300 -- 00:17:45,800

with your Emperor and your

Motherland for all eternity.

132

00:
17:51,300 -- 00:17:53,100

Why has Detachment D...

133

00:
17:53,100 -- 00:17:57,100

still not rejoined

the main troop?

134

00:
17:57,100 -- 00:18:00,200

Lt. Schorm! Send an adjutant

to find out the reason.

135

00:
18:00,200 -- 00:18:02,200

l want a report.

136

00:
18:02,200 -- 00:18:04,400

The medical personnel

is still in the valley!

137

00:
18:08,100 -- 00:18:12,000

Lt. Hidegkuti! l ordered

the reserves into action...

138

00:
18:12,000 -- 00:18:16,500

to break through the enemy

lines and occupy section QX.

139

00:
18:16,500 -- 00:18:18,400

QX, yes sir.

140

00:
19:12,500 -- 00:19:14,100

Alright, then.

141

00:
19:17,200 -- 00:19:21,800

Colonel, the enemy lines have

been attacked and taken.

142

00:
19:21,800 -- 00:19:22,800

Good, Redl.

143

00:
19:22,800 -- 00:19:27,400

You have executed this tactical

exercise perfectly.

144

00:
19:27,400 -- 00:19:31,400

This is a command post,

not the Officer s Club...

145

00:
19:31,400 -- 00:19:36,900

Where we smoke and watch

friends play pool.

146

00:
19:36,900 -- 00:19:38,400

Lt. Schorm.

147

00:
19:38,400 -- 00:19:42,000

The other ranks out there

may not smoke either.

148

00:
19:43,000 -- 00:19:46,100

Smoking is forbidden

on manoeuvres. Carry on.

149

00:
19:46,100 -- 00:19:47,900

Lt. Schorm, give the order

to finish.

150

00:
19:47,900 -- 00:19:50,600

Yes sir, order to finish.

151

00:
19:52,700 -- 00:19:58,100

Colonel, l gave Lt. Schorm

permission to smoke.

152

00:
19:59,000 -- 00:20:01,200

That was an error, Captain.

153

00:
20:01,200 -- 00:20:03,400

Self-control always

and everywhere.

154

00:
20:12,800 -- 00:20:14,900

We shouldn t have

compromised...

155

00:
20:14,900 -- 00:20:17,000

with the Ungarians in 1867.

156

00:
20:17,000 -- 00:20:19,400

Why not take

the whole country...

157

00:
20:19,400 -- 00:20:21,800

as the English did Ireland?

158

00:
20:21,800 -- 00:20:24,600

Without that, Austria wouldn t

be a great power now.

159

00:
20:24,600 -- 00:20:29,300

Vienna curbed us,

thanks to our politicians.

160

00:
20:29,300 -- 00:20:34,100

Kubinyi s lamenting the fate of

oppressed Hungarians again.

161

00:
20:34,100 -- 00:20:36,300

But he forgets

that Hungary, too...

162

00:
20:36,300 -- 00:20:38,800

oppresses it s

neighbouring peoples.

163

00:
20:38,800 -- 00:20:41,100

Everything has its price.

164

00:
20:41,100 -- 00:20:44,400

Arad and Haynau, generals

executed like criminals!

165

00:
20:44,400 -- 00:20:46,800

Come on, Kubinyi...

166

00:
20:46,800 -- 00:20:49,500

The compromise

was a great deed.

167

00:
20:49,500 -- 00:20:51,300

Redl, you look so sad.

168

00:
20:51,300 -- 00:20:54,600

- Perhaps because of you.

- Don t be sad because of me.

169

00:
20:54,600 -- 00:20:58,400

Let s drink to the health

of Captain Redl.

170

00:
20:58,400 -- 00:21:01,000

- Let s drink to it!

- Do you like him?

171

00:
21:01,000 -- 00:21:04,000

- Yes, he s very nice.

- You hear, old man?

172

00:
21:04,000 -- 00:21:06,500

She likes you, so drink!

173

00:
21:10,600 -- 00:21:11,800

Drink from the bottle.

174

00:
21:11,800 -- 00:21:14,400

What l put in my hand,

l put in my mouth.

175

00:
21:15,200 -- 00:21:17,200

Should l hold it?

176

00:
21:19,200 -- 00:21:22,900

This Redl was born

in Lemberg, wasn t he?

177

00:
21:22,900 -- 00:21:24,400

And you in Pomerania.

178

00:
21:24,400 -- 00:21:26,900

- You think it s all the same?

- It damn well is!

179

00:
21:27,700 -- 00:21:29,700

Oh, you are a cosmopolitan.

180

00:
21:29,700 -- 00:21:33,200

No, Hungarian. Secondly,

an officer and Redl s friend.

181

00:
21:33,200 -- 00:21:35,500

What did His Majesty say?

182

00:
21:35,500 -- 00:21:39,100

The Hungarians,

a beloved nation!

183

00:
21:39,100 -- 00:21:41,400

Are you trying

to provoke me?

184

00:
21:41,400 -- 00:21:45,000

No, why should l?

185

00:
21:47,000 -- 00:21:48,300

Let s go.

186

00:
21:53,600 -- 00:21:56,400

Baron, are you being

unfaithful to me?

187

00:
21:57,300 -- 00:21:59,000

Indeed.

188

00:
22:03,500 -- 00:22:05,200

Jealous?

189

00:
22:07,000 -- 00:22:11,400

l don t know you yet,

but it can soon be arranged.

190

00:
22:13,700 -- 00:22:17,200

Do you wanna come with me,

or prefer to sit and stare?

191

00:
22:17,200 -- 00:22:19,700

Have you ever done it?

192

00:
22:19,700 -- 00:22:23,000

Or is your biggest thrill

to shout at you soldiers?

193

00:
22:24,600 -- 00:22:28,600

What s special about Kubinyi

that make you all crazy?

194

00:
22:31,000 -- 00:22:34,200

He not only knows how to do,

he likes doing it.

195

00:
22:34,200 -- 00:22:38,400

- What?

- Everything.

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…
