Hangmen Also Die! Page #11

Talk me doctor,

when you fellows operate...

you always wear these masks?

Naturally, against infection.

I thought you said

we could talk here all alone?

It's all the same.

My colleague, Dr. Pillar.

Inspector Alois Gruber, Gestapo.

You were the other one at the operation

the day he shot Heydrich.

Exactly, Inspector, o

Dr. Pillar as you say...

did take my place that day,

with the mask.

Very clever.

- May I use your telephone, Dr. Svoboda?

- No.

No, you better not use that phone.

You better put that down, doctor.

I'm gonna put it where it belongs.

If you think you're gonna

rush me from both sides...

that I can only get to

one of you in time...

Then you're gonna be

unpleasantly surprised.

I can shoot this gun a lot quicker...

then both of you can jump.

Not bad, doctor.

That was close.

But stand right where you are...

or you get a slug in the gut.

I was at the doctor when I heard

the radio call for Inspector Gruber...

of course I came immediately.

You say you were with him

this morning, Mr. Horak?

Yes, you see the Inspector and I...

went to a cabaret last night.

Well, he stayed all night at my apartment

When did he leave you?

I should say about

10 o'clock this morning.

- Did he happen to say where he was going?

- Yes, I believe he did.

I think he mentioned he had an

appointment with a Mr. Czaka at his house.

Where?

Czaka's house.

Ritter, bring Herr Czaka around.

Thank you, Mr. Horak.

I'm sorry, but I have to hold you

like the other witnesses...

until all of this is settled.

Go to Czaka's house and see if

Gruber was there this morning.

Mr. Czaka, when did you

last see Inspector Gruber?

Yesterday afternoon.

Here at the Gestapo.

And where were you this morning

from 10 o'clock on?

At home, until noon.

And then two of Gruber's men came

to escort me to the Golden Quail.

Gruber wasn't with you before then?

No, I told you I haven't

seen him at all today.

Excuse me.

Yes?

Czaka...

between 10 and 12 this morning...

Inspector Gruber was with you...

at your home.

No, Herr Haas.

- Who said that?

- Your butler.

Why, Herr Haas,

that's impossible.

The man can't be insane.

I demand to see him.

Face to face!

This morning, when Inspector Gruber

arrived, I showed him into the study...

then Mr. Czaka sent me down to the

railway station for a timetable.

Josef, where do you get these hallucinations,

haven't I always paid you well?

- Why do you tell such lies?

- Will you kindly keep quiet Mr. Czaka?

- Go on please.

- When I had returned, the Inspector had gone.

- Where is the study?

- Right in there, but it's locked.

After Mr. Czaka left, the maid wanted

to go in to clean...

we couldn't find the key anywhere.

Break the lock.

Can't do that, it's an genuine antique.

That's Gruber's calling card.

Someone put them there!

Get the caretaker of the building!

Timetable.

Timetable?

Switzerland.

You said your housekeeper had

hallucinations, Mr. Czaka?

Your Excellency, I assure you I...

My desk!

I protest!

Checkbook.

Czaka, this check for 10,000 marks...

Whom did you give it to?

To the Occupational Police fund.

I'm not interested for what purpose you

gave the money, but to whom you gave it.

To Inspector Gruber.

Damned pig!

Yours, Mr. Czaka?

No, I never had a gun.

Herr Haas, this pistol was

made in England.

The exact same caliber of the bullet

that killed the Reich Protector.

Impossible, Herr Haas!

All of this is false,

completely false.

If you only got Herr Gruber here, all

these accusations would be proven false.

The whole thing is a frame up,

an awful frame up!

Herr Fuhrer Standarten,

there is a mimeograph in closet.

I'm innocence. I swear I am!

The underground planted all of this to

pin the assassination on me!

Where is Haas?

Herr Standarten Fuhrer!

Schirmer! Downstairs!

Miss Novotny,

you are free to go.

Czaka was the assassin.

We even found the gun in which

he shot Heydrich.

The remaining hostages will be

released in the morning.

Have you anyway of telling

whether my father...?

No.

This scum must have been working

for both sides all this time.

It looks like Gruber caught on to him

but couldn't be bribed.

Not Gruber.

So, Czaka had to get rid of him.

Pull around the corner.

Czaka, get out of here.

You're free, Czaka.

Free?

- Free!

- Sure. Go on.

Schirmer, I'll never forget you for this,

never forget you!

Go on! Run!

Heil, Hitler!

Excellency, this is the report

in code from Berlin.

"But shout to the end:

'No Surrender'.

Ever onward, never returning...

until the filthy butcher

will be learning...

this war isn't won until

the last battle is done.

Carry on when we are gone.

No surrender!!

No surrender!!

NO SURRENDER!!
