I m ashamed that an officer

express himself in this way.

294

00:
30:41,200 -- 00:30:43,700

He lives among us,

accepts the privileges...

295

00:
30:43,700 -- 00:30:46,500

of uniform and rank,

laughs and swears like us...

296

00:
30:46,500 -- 00:30:51,000

and then it turns out,

he s not one of us.

297

00:
30:51,000 -- 00:30:54,300

Instead of talking to us,

he spies on us secretly...

298

00:
30:54,300 -- 00:30:58,400

and denounces us

under a false name.

299

00:
30:58,400 -- 00:31:01,400

Schorm must face

the consequences...

300

00:
31:01,400 -- 00:31:05,000

and leave those

he s betrayed.

301

00:
31:05,000 -- 00:31:09,000

Taking notes, Schorm?

l could dictate for you.

302

00:
31:10,100 -- 00:31:12,200

Gentlemen,

in my own name...

303

00:
31:12,200 -- 00:31:15,600

and that of the

officers regiment...

304

00:
31:15,600 -- 00:31:20,000

l suggest that Lt. Schorm,

at his own request...

305

00:
31:20,000 -- 00:31:23,700

should leave the

regiment and the army.

306

00:
31:23,700 -- 00:31:26,500

Schorm, l...

307

00:
31:26,500 -- 00:31:29,700

Go voluntarily. You can

state the reasons yourself.

308

00:
31:34,500 -- 00:31:35,900

Yes.

309

00:
31:39,100 -- 00:31:44,500

Gentlemen, is this a big

moment or a small one?

310

00:
31:44,500 -- 00:31:46,500

l can t tell.

311

00:
31:46,500 -- 00:31:50,400

- This is not a cabaret!

- You re right, doctor.

312

00:
31:50,400 -- 00:31:52,400

Brief and soldierly.

313

00:
31:57,400 -- 00:32:00,600

What s going on? Has our

Bohemian gone crazy?

314

00:
32:02,800 -- 00:32:05,100

Schorm, if you expect

a certificate...

315

00:
32:05,100 -- 00:32:07,300

saying that you ve

gone insane...

316

00:
32:07,300 -- 00:32:11,400

which l personally agree,

you re mistaken. No!

317

00:
32:11,400 -- 00:32:15,200

Lieutenant,

name your seconds.

318

00:
32:17,800 -- 00:32:22,700

l consider the desecration

of His Majesty uniform...

319

00:
32:22,700 -- 00:32:24,500

a personal insult.

320

00:
32:24,500 -- 00:32:26,900

l therefore challenge you

to a duel!

321

00:
32:28,100 -- 00:32:31,600

Shooting?

You re near-sighted.

322

00:
32:31,600 -- 00:32:33,600

Want to fence?

323

00:
32:33,600 -- 00:32:38,100

But don t confuse fencing

with an appendectomy.

324

00:
32:38,100 -- 00:32:41,500

Don t take this personally,

but everybody knows that...

325

00:
32:41,500 -- 00:32:44,700

doctors who join the army

aren t the best ones.

326

00:
32:44,700 -- 00:32:49,300

Summa cum laude, you jerk.

Who will be my seconds?

327

00:
32:49,300 -- 00:32:51,100

I m not fighting you.

328

00:
32:51,100 -- 00:32:53,500

I m the third-best shooter

in the regiment.

329

00:
32:53,500 -- 00:32:56,700

Allow me to send

for my civilian clothes.

330

00:
32:56,700 -- 00:32:58,700

The duel takes place

at dawn.

331

00:
32:58,700 -- 00:33:01,500

I ll choose my seconds

among you.

332

00:
33:01,500 -- 00:33:05,500

Sonnenschein,

l said there won t be a duel.

333

00:
33:05,500 -- 00:33:07,900

l will take off my uniform.

334

00:
33:07,900 -- 00:33:12,300

But l can t duel

with a Jewish doctor.

335

00:
33:12,300 -- 00:33:15,100

You re not from whom one

may expect satisfaction.

336

00:
33:15,100 -- 00:33:17,700

And me, Schorm?

337

00:
33:21,700 -- 00:33:24,300

Do l meet your

high requirements?

338

00:
33:24,300 -- 00:33:28,800

Baron Kubinyi...

yes, you do.

339

00:
33:28,800 -- 00:33:31,200

But gentlemen,

this is really...

340

00:
33:31,200 -- 00:33:33,600

Done!

Tomorrow at dawn.

341

00:
33:33,600 -- 00:33:36,200

With a bullet, since you re

such a fine shooter.

342

00:
33:36,200 -- 00:33:38,600

3 steps, 3 exchanges.

Redl, you re my second.

343

00:
33:38,600 -- 00:33:41,400

Excuse me.

l hate early rising.

344

00:
33:41,400 -- 00:33:43,700

I d prefer noon

or afternoon.

345

00:
33:43,700 -- 00:33:46,400

But honour come first.

346

00:
33:46,400 -- 00:33:48,900

Pistols at dawn, then.

347

00:
34:28,100 -- 00:34:32,500

- Those articles, Schorm...

- I m sorry.

348

00:
34:33,400 -- 00:34:36,100

You were such

an excellent soldier.

349

00:
34:42,900 -- 00:34:45,300

The duel is nonsense.

350

00:
34:46,300 -- 00:34:49,400

- Let it go.

- l didn t force it.

351

00:
34:50,800 -- 00:34:54,600

- Then I ll lock you up.

- It s too late, Captain.

352

00:
34:54,600 -- 00:34:59,300

I m duelling as a civilian

with Kubinyi.

353

00:
34:59,300 -- 00:35:03,100

Lock him up, if you fear

for his life.

354

00:
35:03,900 -- 00:35:06,100

The army is not

dismissing you.

355

00:
35:06,100 -- 00:35:08,100

You are leaving the army.

356

00:
35:08,100 -- 00:35:11,400

- In two or three years...

- Two or three years?

357

00:
35:11,400 -- 00:35:13,700

Where will

this army be then?

358

00:
35:13,700 -- 00:35:19,400

It will be at its post

and so will l.

359

00:
35:22,800 -- 00:35:27,200

Do you know what l hate

most about this army?

360

00:
35:27,200 -- 00:35:29,400

Getting up so damned early.

361

00:
35:46,000 -- 00:35:50,400

- Who s there? Who is it?

- Redl.

362

00:
35:51,400 -- 00:35:53,400

It s you, Schorm.

363

00:
35:53,400 -- 00:35:57,200

l thought it was you.

Sorry.

364

00:
36:02,300 -- 00:36:04,800

- You re here early.

- Yes.

365

00:
36:05,600 -- 00:36:07,800

l couldn t sleep.

366

00:
36:07,800 -- 00:36:10,000

- Could you?

- l never sleep well.

367

00:
36:10,000 -- 00:36:12,400

Kubinyi probably

sleep like a dog.

368

00:
36:12,400 -- 00:36:15,300

Don t underestimate him.

Cigarette?

369

00:
36:15,300 -- 00:36:16,600

No, thanks.

370

00:
36:16,600 -- 00:36:19,100

He overestimates himself.

371

00:
36:19,100 -- 00:36:22,700

- You are full of energy.

- And you?

372

00:
36:23,600 -- 00:36:25,900

l don t belong with you.

373

00:
36:29,400 -- 00:36:31,300

What do you mean?

374

00:
36:31,300 -- 00:36:33,200

l want to remain

Jaromil Schorm.

375

00:
36:34,100 -- 00:36:35,800

l don t understand.

376

00:
36:39,400 -- 00:36:42,400

l can t take leading

a double life...

377

00:
36:42,400 -- 00:36:45,000

everyone playing

their part perfectly.

378

00:
36:45,000 -- 00:36:48,700

Sickening. All of it.

379

00:
36:49,500 -- 00:36:51,500

l still don t understand.

380

00:
36:53,200 -- 00:36:55,200

Tell me, Schorm...

381

00:
36:56,700 -- 00:36:59,300

are you really

a anti-Semite?

382

00:
36:59,300 -- 00:37:04,300

My grandmother is Jewish.

l hope that s sufficient.

383

00:
37:05,100 -- 00:37:08,700

l shouldn t have

insulted him.

384

00:
37:08,700 -- 00:37:11,800

l just enjoyed keeping

that Jew at a distance.

385

00:
37:11,700 -- 00:37:15,300

- Very possible.

- Not really my style.

386

00:
37:16,800 -- 00:37:20,500

- You play with people.

- No, you do.

387

00:
37:21,400 -- 00:37:22,900

Me?

388

00:
37:24,700 -- 00:37:26,300

Why me?

389

00:
37:27,500 -- 00:37:29,600

You re demanding

too much of yourself.

390

00:
37:31,100 -- 00:37:36,500

- What else can l do?

- Well, you might be right.

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…
