For three days and nights,

I've had no other thought but to find you.

And now I've caught you.

Isn't it strange I'd give a lot to undo it?

Why don't you let me go, then?

Don't be absurd.

Is there any other wish I can grant?

- Yes.

- What is it?

I'd like to share

my last few hours on earth with you.

Do you think you can fool me

as easily as you did the adjutant?

I give you my word of honour that

I no longer want anything but to be with you.

It's easy to grant you almost anything.

I think I'm falling madly in love with you.

The more you cheat and the more you lie,

the more exciting you become, X-27.

I wish this night could last forever.

It will be dawn soon.

I don't understand why you should choose

a road that leads to such a death.

Not a bad death, to die for my country.

It's better than gas or the river.

What has gas or the river to do with you?

Nothing. Now.

Let's not talk of death any more.

This is our last drink together.

What shall we drink to?

- To love.

- To love and excitement.

To love and excitement.

- What did you put into this wine?

- Only a few drops of sleep.

You think you can get away?

Here!

Where are you going? Where's your pass?

Ink's still wet, huh?

I wish I were an officer. Go ahead.

(# Plays jarring composition)

Your plane will leave for Vienna

in two hours.

- Name?

- Nikolai Chemochenko.

Division?

Won't talk, eh? Next.

- Name.

- Ivan Petrov.

Division?

Won't talk. Next.

- Name.

- Ivorich Chernovy.

Division?

These birds are a gabby lot.

Next!

- Name.

- (lndistinct response)

Division.

Next.

Your name?

Won't even give your name, eh?

Division?

All right, sir, as you like.

Bring in the next batch.

Come on, step up.

- Name?

- Hassan Martinko.

Division?

- Name?

- Nikolai Abramov.

Take a look at this.

Division!

Next!

Name, please.

- Name!

- (lndistinct response)

Well, that looks like a catch.

May I question that officer

who refused to give his name?

Certainly. Will you come back here,

Colonel?

You don't remember me, do you?

I've never seen you before.

You have a very faulty memory for a spy.

- You're mistaken.

- How do you explain this, Colonel?

Well, this does resemble me, doesn't it?

When were you on Austrian territory last?

The Russian Army has been on Austrian

territory ever since the war started.

Let me have your fingerprints.

This will be your last visit

to this country, Colonel.

- Arrange a court martial.

- I will, Your Excellency.

Take charge of the case, Major.

Send in the next batch.

- Will you come with me?

- Yes, sir. With pleasure.

- Name?

- Ivan Turgenev.

- Division?

- Ivan Petrov.

Next?

- Name?

- I don't smoke.

Don't you think that before shooting a spy,

we should make him talk?

- You can't make Russians talk.

- I think I can.

I'll give you ten minutes.

Be careful. He's a dangerous character.

- I'll be careful.

- Turn the prisoner over to her, Lieutenant.

Wire headquarters at once, Colonel,

and inform them of the capture of H-14,

of the Russian Secret Service,

and that we are planning to execute him,

possibly tonight.

- Will you please wait outside?

- I wouldn't take any chances with this man.

- I'll take responsibility for that. Wait outside.

- As you wish.

You still don't seem to remember me.

It may be good for you

that I don't choose to remember you.

Oh, I don't know.

- This gun is loaded.

- What is it you want?

I have ten minutes

in which to make you talk.

You're wasting your time and mine.

What would you rather do than talk?

If you don't mind,

I'd rather be up in the air, flying.

Well, my old friend.

He did bring you good luck, after all.

Perhaps.

Come here.

Watch me,

and I'll show you how to play with a gun.

I've an even chance now.

I don't know whether I can get away, but

there seem to be plenty of planes outside.

If it weren't going to be more exciting

out there, I'd be tempted to stay with you.

Hope you're on my side, next war!

(Aeroplanes overhead)

Before the sentence,

have you anything to say?

No, I have nothing to say.

As a matter of record, tell me

why a woman charged with important work

should permit or aid

the escape of a dangerous enemy,

why she should dishonour the service,

violate duty because

of a casual affection for that man.

Perhaps I loved him.

You can't make me believe you can love

a man you've known for a few hours.

That sort of love

can be bought on the streets.

I found her on the streets.

You had a chance

to redeem your unfortunate life

in the service of your country.

Can you give one reason you failed

to take advantage of that privilege?

I suppose I'm not much good, that's all.

Will you please stand up?

You have left us no choice in your case.

The crime is treason

and the penalty is death.

You will be executed

tomorrow morning at dawn.

And may God have mercy on your soul.

Can I help you, daughter?

I am going to face this journey, too, alone.

You have no fear of this death?

It's only another exciting adventure.

A perfect end to an imperfect life.

How much more time have I?

About ten hours.

Could you possibly help me to die

in a uniform of my own choosing?

What would you call

a uniform of your own choosing?

Any dress I wore when I served

my countrymen instead of my country.

I will send for your clothes. Anything else?

Yes.

A piano. One that's in tune.

I will see what can be done.

Fall in!

(# Plays Donauwellen)

Is it time?

Will you please follow me?

Are we going to walk together again?

Do you happen to have a looking glass?

Will this do?

May I please bandage your eyes?

I will not kill a woman.

I will not kill any more men, either.

Do you call this war?

I call it butchery!

You call this serving your country?

You call this patriotism? I call it murder!

(Rapid gunfire)
