Colonel Redl Page #6

---

Whom?

493

00:
47:33,500 -- 00:47:36,300

- I m very fond of you both.

- And now?

494

00:
47:36,300 -- 00:47:42,000

l feel fine, but l don t

know for how long.

495

00:
47:42,000 -- 00:47:47,000

You know,

Christoph and l...

496

00:
47:47,600 -- 00:47:49,100

we re...

497

00:
47:51,900 -- 00:47:54,400

actually,

I m afraid of him.

498

00:
47:54,400 -- 00:47:59,000

- But now you re over him.

- No.

499

00:
48:03,000 -- 00:48:08,500

You re wonderful Katalin.

l like touching you.

500

00:
48:16,100 -- 00:48:19,100

l have nobody l can

embrace, just you.

501

00:
48:45,500 -- 00:48:49,600

Don t forget, you re here

in Galicia...

502

00:
48:49,600 -- 00:48:51,600

not by the Adriatic.

503

00:
48:51,600 -- 00:48:55,500

We have many Poles, Jews,

gypsies, thieves and whores.

504

00:
48:55,500 -- 00:48:57,200

Be on your guard.

505

00:
48:57,200 -- 00:49:00,800

Many of them smuggle vodka

across the border.

506

00:
49:00,800 -- 00:49:06,200

We are right at the border,

not Bad Ischl or Alt-Ausee.

507

00:
49:06,200 -- 00:49:08,600

There s so little to do...

508

00:
49:08,600 -- 00:49:10,300

the officers

go hunting for chamois.

509

00:
49:11,200 -- 00:49:13,000

You get my meaning.

510

00:
49:20,600 -- 00:49:23,100

Lt. Ehrlich reporting.

511

00:
49:23,100 -- 00:49:25,500

Manoeuvres proceeding

according to plan.

512

00:
49:28,700 -- 00:49:31,000

Major, Lt. Mszaros

reporting.

513

00:
49:31,000 -- 00:49:33,300

Manoeuvres proceeding

as planned.

514

00:
49:33,300 -- 00:49:35,700

Throw grenades!

515

00:
49:38,900 -- 00:49:40,700

Up!

516

00:
49:47,100 -- 00:49:50,400

Fire! Throw grenades!

517

00:
49:52,100 -- 00:49:55,200

Up! Stop! Go back!

518

00:
50:08,300 -- 00:50:13,000

Didn t you instruct your men

in the use of grenades...

519

00:
50:13,000 -- 00:50:16,900

unexploded grenades

or those falling short?

520

00:
50:16,900 -- 00:50:19,800

Assemble the platoon!

521

00:
50:21,400 -- 00:50:27,500

Throw away your cigarette.

Repeat the regulations.

522

00:
50:27,500 -- 00:50:29,900

I m sorry, l don t know

them all.

523

00:
50:29,900 -- 00:50:33,400

Not all? Item one?

524

00:
50:33,400 -- 00:50:37,500

Item two? Three? Five?

525

00:
50:41,600 -- 00:50:43,100

Your order, officer?

526

00:
50:43,100 -- 00:50:48,200

- A schnapps, please.

- Coming right up, Major.

527

00:
50:49,000 -- 00:50:51,300

You get many officers here,

don t you?

528

00:
50:51,300 -- 00:50:55,400

- How did you guess?

- You knew my rank.

529

00:
50:55,400 -- 00:50:59,000

You recognize ranks when

you re as old as me...

530

00:
50:59,000 -- 00:51:02,200

but you never know people.

I ll get your drink.

531

00:
51:02,200 -- 00:51:06,200

- And vodka?

- No, that s contraband.

532

00:
51:06,200 -- 00:51:08,200

Maybe a glass of aquavit?

533

00:
51:10,800 -- 00:51:17,800

We re serving His Majesty

on the Russian border.

534

00:
51:17,800 -- 00:51:23,800

We re not here to impress

or chase the women...

535

00:
51:23,800 -- 00:51:27,700

play pool and get drunk,

on duty or on manoeuvres.

536

00:
51:27,700 -- 00:51:30,100

I m referring

to Lt. Schinszky.

537

00:
51:30,100 -- 00:51:32,100

Our men blow

themselves up...

538

00:
51:32,100 -- 00:51:35,500

due to a lack of

grenade instruction.

539

00:
51:35,500 -- 00:51:38,400

Lt. Mszaros is not here

to fall off his horse...

540

00:
51:38,300 -- 00:51:39,900

drunk at 11 am.

541

00:
51:39,900 -- 00:51:43,900

Contraband vodka,

drunk at the Inn...

542

00:
51:43,900 -- 00:51:48,000

where you go to keep warm,

while your men train outside.

543

00:
51:48,000 -- 00:51:55,200

And by noon you are kept in

the saddle by their horses.

544

00:
51:55,200 -- 00:51:59,800

We are not here to dishonour

the Emperor s uniform...

545

00:
51:59,800 -- 00:52:02,800

by making deals

with civilians...

546

00:
52:02,800 -- 00:52:04,800

like Kferrer and Halmi...

547

00:
52:04,800 -- 00:52:06,800

getting involved

in God knows what.

548

00:
52:06,800 -- 00:52:09,700

We re not here to seduce

a girl a week...

549

00:
52:09,700 -- 00:52:13,200

meaning raping her

in the woods.

550

00:
52:13,200 -- 00:52:17,300

Like a poor servant-girl

who dares not say a word...

551

00:
52:17,300 -- 00:52:20,300

for everyone would believe

the almighty officer.

552

00:
52:20,300 -- 00:52:24,500

Almighty officers, indeed!

553

00:
52:26,100 -- 00:52:28,300

Officers of the Monarchy...

554

00:
52:28,300 -- 00:52:31,100

must set a good example

so the people trust us...

555

00:
52:31,100 -- 00:52:35,000

and know the Emperor

will protect them.

556

00:
52:35,000 -- 00:52:37,700

My question is,

does the Monarchy...

557

00:
52:37,700 -- 00:52:42,800

need each one of you

personally...

558

00:
52:42,800 -- 00:52:45,400

here in this garrison?

559

00:
52:45,400 -- 00:52:49,800

Answer the question

yourselves. I m waiting.

560

00:
52:58,700 -- 00:53:02,600

lf you think your presence

here has a meaning...

561

00:
53:02,600 -- 00:53:07,500

then you know

that with your rights...

562

00:
53:07,500 -- 00:53:10,400

you have certain

obligations.

563

00:
53:10,400 -- 00:53:13,000

Only then can you

claim privileges.

564

00:
53:13,000 -- 00:53:17,000

You need not be

Imperial Army officers.

565

00:
53:17,000 -- 00:53:19,700

The post office

or the railways...

566

00:
53:19,700 -- 00:53:22,500

guarantees a pension.

567

00:
54:34,800 -- 00:54:37,600

Colonel Ruzitska wishes to

see you in the conservatory.

568

00:
54:50,200 -- 00:54:51,500

Colonel?

569

00:
54:51,500 -- 00:54:54,500

l have bad news

for you, Redl.

570

00:
54:54,500 -- 00:54:57,000

When did you

last see Mszaros?

571

00:
54:57,000 -- 00:55:00,100

This afternoon,

during the manoeuvres.

572

00:
55:00,100 -- 00:55:03,300

- He has deserted.

- Really?

573

00:
55:03,300 -- 00:55:05,200

To the Russians.

574

00:
55:05,200 -- 00:55:10,000

Tonight at six he appeared on

the other side of the barrier.

575

00:
55:10,000 -- 00:55:12,500

And shouted

to our soldiers...

576

00:
55:12,500 -- 00:55:16,900

Say hello to Mr. Ruzistka

and Redl for me!

577

00:
55:16,900 -- 00:55:18,700

And then he did this.

578

00:
55:19,900 -- 00:55:23,000

I ve had enough of

the Russians border.

579

00:
55:23,000 -- 00:55:26,700

I m applying

for retirement.

580

00:
55:26,700 -- 00:55:30,700

I d like to recommend you

as District Commandant.

581

00:
55:30,700 -- 00:55:33,300

You have a great future.

582

00:
55:34,400 -- 00:55:38,800

l was no more than a troop

commander. That s fate.

583

00:
55:38,800 -- 00:55:42,300

One doesn t necessarily have

to be on the General Staff.

584

00:
55:57,500 -- 00:56:00,200

These damned Habsburgs!

585

00:
56:01,300 -- 00:56:05,000

l hate this Habsburgs,

do you hear? l hate them!

586

00:
56:05,800 -- 00:56:08,200

What do you think of them?

587

00:
56:08,200 -- 00:56:11,600

Maybe you think

they re wonderful.

588

00:
56:11,600 -- 00:56:17,200

But I m drunk tonight,

so l must tell you honestly.
