784

01:
12:57,600 -- 01:13:01,100

his gratitude

to the Habsburgs.

785

01:
13:01,100 -- 01:13:04,600

No contact with

his family...

786

01:
13:04,600 -- 01:13:07,200

and sister,

resident in Lemberg.

787

01:
13:12,600 -- 01:13:13,900

Poses.

788

01:
13:15,200 -- 01:13:16,800

Poses.

789

01:
13:44,800 -- 01:13:46,800

Insincere.

790

01:
14:11,500 -- 01:14:15,400

It s not pleasant for me

to repeat this question...

791

01:
14:15,400 -- 01:14:20,700

but Marshall Korad asked me

if you re homosexual.

792

01:
14:20,700 -- 01:14:25,100

And if l think it odd...

793

01:
14:25,100 -- 01:14:28,200

that even the Archduke

has made inquiries.

794

01:
14:28,200 -- 01:14:29,800

What do you say?

795

01:
14:31,200 -- 01:14:35,000

They re plotting

against you already.

796

01:
14:35,000 -- 01:14:38,100

Unless it s a plot

against me.

797

01:
14:38,100 -- 01:14:42,300

They don t dare touch me,

so they starting with you...

798

01:
14:42,300 -- 01:14:45,400

because they know

that I m backing you.

799

01:
14:45,400 -- 01:14:48,800

That s the world around you.

Take stock of it.

800

01:
14:48,800 -- 01:14:54,700

I ve got the impression

you make enemies easily.

801

01:
14:56,000 -- 01:14:58,300

Avoid that

whenever possible.

802

01:
14:59,500 -- 01:15:01,600

For my sake, too.

803

01:
15:01,600 -- 01:15:05,100

You should marry.

That would calm people down.

804

01:
15:05,100 -- 01:15:08,500

I ll introduce you to a girl

from a good Viennese family.

805

01:
15:10,200 -- 01:15:12,700

Or we ll pack our bags

and go to America.

806

01:
15:14,800 -- 01:15:16,300

Should we?

807

01:
15:16,300 -- 01:15:19,300

We may face an offensive

in the Balkans.

808

01:
15:19,300 -- 01:15:21,000

The Emperor wants peace.

809

01:
15:21,000 -- 01:15:24,500

He knows what war would do

to the Monarchy.

810

01:
15:24,500 -- 01:15:27,800

Yet he makes bad mistakes.

He puts in key positions...

811

01:
15:27,800 -- 01:15:30,600

men who represent

everything he fears.

812

01:
15:30,600 -- 01:15:32,800

The Archduke works

openly against him...

813

01:
15:32,800 -- 01:15:36,700

and he pretends

not to notice.

814

01:
15:36,700 -- 01:15:38,700

When the Emperor dies...

815

01:
15:38,700 -- 01:15:41,800

the Monarchy

will fall to pieces.

816

01:
15:41,800 -- 01:15:45,100

Look at this here,

from an earlier empire.

817

01:
15:45,100 -- 01:15:46,400

What does remain?

818

01:
15:59,500 -- 01:16:01,000

Stop that!

819

01:
16:03,400 -- 01:16:07,300

That civilian suit is the

greatest lie in your life.

820

01:
16:08,700 -- 01:16:09,900

l know.

821

01:
16:24,100 -- 01:16:25,400

Are you coming?

822

01:
16:28,200 -- 01:16:29,600

Of course.

823

01:
16:45,800 -- 01:16:47,300

Alfred.

824

01:
16:49,900 -- 01:16:52,500

Yes, I m coming.

825

01:
17:41,800 -- 01:17:43,700

Welcome, Lt. Colonel.

826

01:
17:43,700 -- 01:17:48,100

May l check your uniform,

according to regulations?

827

01:
17:48,100 -- 01:17:53,500

Colonel, your sword, please.

Thank you.

828

01:
17:53,500 -- 01:17:55,600

Kindly wait a moment.

829

01:
18:03,800 -- 01:18:06,000

- Kubinyi.

- Hello, Redl.

830

01:
18:08,100 -- 01:18:10,400

l thought you were

in St. Petersburg.

831

01:
18:10,400 -- 01:18:14,600

I m now on General Staff

for Hungarian affairs.

832

01:
18:14,600 -- 01:18:16,900

lf you need anything

from that area...

833

01:
18:16,900 -- 01:18:18,700

please come to me first.

834

01:
18:20,500 -- 01:18:22,300

And if l can do anything...

835

01:
18:22,300 -- 01:18:24,800

l don t snoop

on fellow officers.

836

01:
18:25,800 -- 01:18:27,600

Take care.

837

01:
18:34,300 -- 01:18:36,800

Lt. Colonel, His Imperial

Highness is expecting you.

838

01:
18:51,700 -- 01:18:53,500

Imperial Majesty...

839

01:
18:53,500 -- 01:18:56,000

Colonel Alfred Redl

begs to report.

840

01:
18:56,000 -- 01:18:59,900

Colonel Redl. I m glad

we can have a talk.

841

01:
19:00,900 -- 01:19:03,200

I ve heard so much

about you.

842

01:
19:11,900 -- 01:19:14,700

How do you like

your position?

843

01:
19:14,700 -- 01:19:19,000

Thank you, Imperial Highness.

l have a lot to do.

844

01:
19:19,000 -- 01:19:20,900

And l like to work.

845

01:
19:20,900 -- 01:19:25,500

Do you enjoy the power

in your hands?

846

01:
19:25,500 -- 01:19:28,100

Sometimes?

Just for a moment?

847

01:
19:29,100 -- 01:19:33,100

What l feel rather

is the weight of my task.

848

01:
19:34,100 -- 01:19:36,800

They say your loyalty

is unshakeable...

849

01:
19:36,800 -- 01:19:39,100

and based on gratitude.

850

01:
19:39,100 -- 01:19:42,600

You want to serve and

prove yourself, am l right?

851

01:
19:42,600 -- 01:19:46,100

l am deeply honoured,

if they say that about me.

852

01:
19:46,100 -- 01:19:48,900

You re a good

toll-collector, then.

853

01:
19:48,900 -- 01:19:53,100

You won t side with those

who ve gained eminence...

854

01:
19:53,100 -- 01:19:55,300

by their noble blood.

855

01:
19:59,200 -- 01:20:00,800

Are you Catholic?

856

01:
20:03,100 -- 01:20:04,400

Yes.

857

01:
20:04,800 -- 01:20:07,100

We understand each other.

858

01:
20:07,100 -- 01:20:09,200

People say things

about me, too.

859

01:
20:09,200 -- 01:20:13,700

I ve read your reports.

You write very well.

860

01:
20:14,900 -- 01:20:18,600

Or rather, convincingly.

861

01:
20:18,600 -- 01:20:20,700

You like to work hard...

862

01:
20:20,700 -- 01:20:24,400

like in Galacia, where

you proved your ability.

863

01:
20:24,400 -- 01:20:28,100

We ll see whether you are

just as talented here.

864

01:
20:28,100 -- 01:20:34,100

We have to focus on the

interests of our Manarchy.

865

01:
20:34,100 -- 01:20:37,200

World becomes dangerous.

Army morale is shaky.

866

01:
20:37,200 -- 01:20:39,500

The Imperial Army has begun

to resemble a casino...

867

01:
20:39,500 -- 01:20:43,200

playing pool, drinking

and chasing women, right?

868

01:
20:43,200 -- 01:20:46,000

Yes, unfortunately.

869

01:
20:46,000 -- 01:20:49,300

The spirit of liberalism

undermines everything.

870

01:
20:49,300 -- 01:20:51,500

Please, sit down.

871

01:
20:51,500 -- 01:20:54,900

In such a situation...

872

01:
20:55,900 -- 01:21:01,300

one has to make a clean

sweep to restore order.

873

01:
21:01,300 -- 01:21:03,500

Don t stand there,

sit down.

874

01:
21:07,500 -- 01:21:13,000

The army must be as rock-hard

as ice on a frozen lake.

875

01:
21:13,000 -- 01:21:16,800

Your Highness,

fish swim under the ice.

876

01:
21:19,900 -- 01:21:23,000

We must take

lasting examples...

877

01:
21:23,000 -- 01:21:25,600

as your previous

activity proved.

878

01:
21:25,600 -- 01:21:31,100

We must arrange some actions

that will shake the army...

879

01:
21:31,100 -- 01:21:38,300

to take clear to all that

the liberalism must end.

880

01:
21:38,300 -- 01:21:40,700

The Emperor must see that

an effective army...

881

01:
21:40,700 -- 01:21:43,000

needs a new spirit.

882

01:
21:43,000 -- 01:21:45,800

In my view, the people

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…
