Maybe we haven t talked

enough to each other.

392

00:
37:46,200 -- 00:37:50,000

- Why couldn t you sleep?

- l don t know.

393

00:
37:51,200 -- 00:37:53,700

l think l had a dream.

394

00:
37:53,700 -- 00:37:56,500

- Do you believe in dreams?

- No.

395

00:
37:57,300 -- 00:37:59,300

Or do l?

396

00:
38:11,500 -- 00:38:13,100

It is cold.

397

00:
38:16,300 -- 00:38:18,000

Yes.

398

00:
38:18,000 -- 00:38:20,800

- The weapons?

- Here they are.

399

00:
38:20,800 -- 00:38:25,000

- Redl will tell his dream.

- That s not of interest now.

400

00:
38:26,700 -- 00:38:29,700

- Gentlemen...

- Please, go on.

401

00:
38:31,200 -- 00:38:35,800

l ask you to discuss

your disagreement...

402

00:
38:35,800 -- 00:38:38,400

and use your weapons

symbolically.

403

00:
38:39,500 -- 00:38:43,200

l guarantee

complete secrecy.

404

00:
38:44,500 -- 00:38:47,200

Until then, l shall leave

the gymnasium.

405

00:
38:48,100 -- 00:38:49,900

Redl, stay!

406

00:
38:56,000 -- 00:38:58,200

Gentlemen, l am ready.

407

00:
39:51,900 -- 00:39:53,800

l think we must

get the doctor.

408

00:
39:53,800 -- 00:39:54,900

Yes.

409

00:
40:12,800 -- 00:40:17,500

- Was Schorm your friend?

- No, Colonel.

410

00:
40:17,500 -- 00:40:22,000

lf your part in this incident

is known...

411

00:
40:22,000 -- 00:40:27,000

- it will harm your career.

- I m aware of my position.

412

00:
40:27,000 -- 00:40:30,100

We have decided to act

discreetly.

413

00:
40:31,100 -- 00:40:32,600

Thank you, Colonel.

414

00:
40:32,600 -- 00:40:34,900

With Kubinyi, it s

a different story.

415

00:
40:34,900 -- 00:40:37,400

He s been in trouble

before.

416

00:
40:37,400 -- 00:40:42,100

However, he survives such

incidents more easily.

417

00:
40:43,500 -- 00:40:46,100

Redl, l must say...

418

00:
40:46,100 -- 00:40:49,800

you were only a second,

but that was a grave error.

419

00:
40:49,800 -- 00:40:52,400

Never get involved in

anything like this again.

420

00:
40:52,400 -- 00:40:53,700

Yes, Colonel.

421

00:
40:53,700 -- 00:40:58,800

Do you think an officer

without family connections...

422

00:
40:58,800 -- 00:41:01,800

remains unnoticed?

Is that your opinion, Redl?

423

00:
41:01,800 -- 00:41:04,500

I m convinced the army

seldom allows merit...

424

00:
41:04,500 -- 00:41:07,200

to go unacknowledged.

425

00:
41:07,200 -- 00:41:10,700

Correct, Redl,

and for obvious reasons.

426

00:
41:10,700 -- 00:41:13,400

The future of the Monarchy

and Europe...

427

00:
41:13,400 -- 00:41:16,400

- depends on the army.

- I ve noticed that...

428

00:
41:16,400 -- 00:41:19,600

officers who complain

about privilege...

429

00:
41:19,600 -- 00:41:22,700

are of average ability,

mostly below that.

430

00:
41:22,700 -- 00:41:27,900

Exactly. A good soldier

always recognizes another.

431

00:
41:27,900 -- 00:41:30,500

That s the basis

of comradeship.

432

00:
41:31,600 -- 00:41:34,800

Redl, as a Commander...

433

00:
41:34,800 -- 00:41:38,200

l must inform

to the War Ministry...

434

00:
41:38,200 -- 00:41:40,100

about officers

of outstanding merit.

435

00:
41:40,100 -- 00:41:44,400

Your merits have surpassed

your present rank.

436

00:
41:45,100 -- 00:41:47,900

Here s your promotion

to Major.

437

00:
41:49,100 -- 00:41:52,500

And here s your order

to report to Vienna.

438

00:
41:54,700 -- 00:41:57,600

His Majesty has

appointed you...

439

00:
41:57,600 -- 00:42:00,600

second-in-command

of a garrison.

440

00:
42:00,600 -- 00:42:06,000

It s a pity, it had to arrive

on this unfortunate day.

441

00:
42:06,000 -- 00:42:08,900

Nevertheless,

congratulations.

442

00:
42:08,900 -- 00:42:10,100

Thank you, Colonel.

443

00:
42:10,100 -- 00:42:15,100

It means a great deal to me.

After all, l trained you.

444

00:
42:18,000 -- 00:42:19,700

That s the way it is.

445

00:
42:20,600 -- 00:42:27,700

A wallet and a briefcase.

l had them made in Vienna.

446

00:
42:27,700 -- 00:42:29,300

A.R.

447

00:
42:29,300 -- 00:42:31,300

l grew very fond of you,

my son.

448

00:
42:32,900 -- 00:42:34,500

Dismissed!

449

00:
42:42,600 -- 00:42:44,200

Colonel...

450

00:
42:46,400 -- 00:42:50,300

I d like to take

Lt. Von Kubinyi with me.

451

00:
42:50,300 -- 00:42:52,700

He s a good soldier.

452

00:
42:55,600 -- 00:42:59,000

An odd team, you two.

453

00:
42:59,000 -- 00:43:03,100

I m not sure it will

help you, but...

454

00:
43:03,100 -- 00:43:06,800

It can be arranged

through his...

455

00:
43:06,800 -- 00:43:08,100

family connections

in Vienna.

456

00:
43:43,200 -- 00:43:46,700

- Katalin, did you see him?

- Who?

457

00:
43:46,700 -- 00:43:49,800

The Emperor,

admiring the view?

458

00:
43:49,800 -- 00:43:52,900

He has a hunting

lodge here.

459

00:
43:52,900 -- 00:43:54,300

The Emperor!

460

00:
44:02,600 -- 00:44:05,900

What if we d stopped

to greet him?

461

00:
44:05,900 -- 00:44:08,600

What would you have said?

462

00:
44:08,600 -- 00:44:11,200

Major Redl

begs to report?

463

00:
44:11,200 -- 00:44:15,300

I d have wished him good

health and a long life.

464

00:
44:20,100 -- 00:44:23,300

Wait, turn in to the Inn.

465

00:
44:35,000 -- 00:44:38,700

I m tired, Major.

We ll take a room.

466

00:
44:39,600 -- 00:44:42,900

l can t believe l saw

the Emperor today.

467

00:
44:44,700 -- 00:44:46,300

Come here.

468

00:
44:47,900 -- 00:44:51,900

Horse and saddle,

a fine soldierly smell.

469

00:
44:53,700 -- 00:44:56,700

Christoph never smells

like a soldier.

470

00:
44:56,700 -- 00:44:58,400

Do you smell

the soldier on him?

471

00:
44:59,600 -- 00:45:01,300

Me?

472

00:
45:03,600 -- 00:45:05,700

Here you are, madam.

473

00:
45:09,900 -- 00:45:13,900

Soldier,

uncork the champagne.

474

00:
45:22,700 -- 00:45:26,000

I ve made a lovely,

big bridal bed for us.

475

00:
45:30,000 -- 00:45:33,700

What will your husband say

if you don t come home?

476

00:
45:33,700 -- 00:45:37,500

I m sleeping at my mother.

You re my witness.

477

00:
45:42,500 -- 00:45:45,300

I ve neither time

nor inclination...

478

00:
45:45,300 -- 00:45:47,500

to be a gracious

society hostess.

479

00:
45:47,500 -- 00:45:51,800

l like riding,

eating, drinking.

480

00:
45:51,800 -- 00:45:55,500

Why don t you have

any children?

481

00:
45:55,500 -- 00:45:57,600

We just don t.

482

00:
45:57,600 -- 00:46:00,300

l can t stand

my husband anymore.

483

00:
46:01,600 -- 00:46:06,800

Shall l marry you? Do you

want a pretty Kubinyi?

484

00:
46:06,800 -- 00:46:09,000

You deserve it.

485

00:
46:10,000 -- 00:46:11,800

Let s drink.

486

00:
46:54,000 -- 00:46:56,500

Why do you close your eyes?

487

00:
47:01,900 -- 00:47:03,600

l don t know.

488

00:
47:04,200 -- 00:47:06,500

Are you thinking of

someone else?

489

00:
47:09,400 -- 00:47:11,000

Yes.

490

00:
47:12,600 -- 00:47:16,200

- Christoph?

- Yes.

491

00:
47:20,200 -- 00:47:22,600

Were you always

thinking of him?

492

00:
47:26,400 -- 00:47:30,000

Whom do you love more?

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…
