Hangmen Also Die! Page #8

and they never needed a beginning.

They slaughtered thousands

long before Heydrich.

Just for breathing Czech air.

Has it ever occurred to you professor that the

assassin is letting us pay for his act...

While he goes scot free?

He, and his underground pals.

I don't intent to wast my

time with you here.

What we want is the identity

of this man, Dedic.

Aldrich Krapke, the engineer?

- Yes.

- As an educated man...

you are intelligent enough to see the

unpleasant experiences ahead of you.

You understand, Aldrich...

when Herr Gruber

says "unpleasant"...

he's merely being polite.

What's he doing here?

He belongs here, Gestapo informer.

I don't get it.

You'll get it soon enough...

right through your head just

before we knock it off.

Why, you stinking fat crawling scum, you!

You shut your mouth you

filthy Bolshevik traitor!

- Sabotador...

- Chega!

You don't have to prove to us

you're not one of them.

Katerina Honiga,

private secretary.

You sabotaged your factory very cleverly.

Perhaps you are...

clever enough not to want to

visit our vault downstairs?

Perhaps you prefer to talk to me...

in private.

No, I can tell you right here

what I think of you.

You pig.

Yes, you better not see her alone...

you stool pigeon, or she'll scratch your

eyes out, you fascist blood hound.

Big talk. Ten minutes below and

you'll beg them to kill you.

Your mothers use to lay with rats!

Their milk was sewage.

Take them to the vaults.

All of them!

Tell them I want to know

about this Dedic.

- Down there!

- Take them!

Are these all the volunteer

speakers you have?

Commandant, barracks 2 and 3 failed to

produce anyone who volunteered.

Herr Commandant, in our barrack #5,

they also tired to prevent us...

Quiet. Be ready to began your

speeches in 2 minutes

Yes sir, I just have another idea

to jot down for my speech.

That is not necessary.

Here are your speeches.

We must climb the path to

loyal collaboration...

and our very first step must be

to surrender the assassin.

Just plain common sense.

I was always against using force.

Not one of us would fail to die

for the true welfare of our nation.

But people of Prague,

I ask you...

shall we perish for the vicious act

of a murdering manic?

Stop that immediately!

It's easy for you to talk.

You're not gonna be shot!

- Everyone sit down!

- Be quiet!

The Germans have succeeded, in part

shattering the unity of the city.

Many people are now using

the word "assassin"...

whereas before they only spoke

of him as the "executor".

If I may suggest, perhaps you should all

know what Dedic wants you to do.

He's at my apartment now.

His condition is serious.

Shot through the lung

But why did he go,

of all places, to you?

- It was a terrible risk to expose you.

- He took every possible precaution.

He changed taxi's a number of times.

Went through buildings and back yards...

until he was dead certain

no one had followed him.

He could have come here just as well.

And we would have called in another

doctor without involving you.

He did not just come to me

just for me to treat his wound.

- What else?

- To give me in detail my instructions.

- Instructions?

- Where do you come into this?

As Dedic sees it, we are faced

with two vital problems...

each depended upon the other.

If we could find a way of saving

the remaining hostages...

or as many as possible...

we would at the same time restore

the unity of the city.

It would be a tremendous victory...

But in the end, it's either the hostages

or you. We can't save both.

I don't see any possible chance of us

getting these 2 birds with one stone.

As Dedic sees it,

there is a chance.

What about those bloodstains

in your cab?

I never would have put 2 and 2 together...

the car washer here calls me tonight...

and tells me he found blood drops

on the backseat of my cab.

- Just then I was home eating my soup...

- I'm not interested in your soup.

What makes you think I'm

interested in a cab...

where some passenger maybe

had a nose bleed?

Herr Gruber, he recognized the description

of Dedic from tonight's newspapers...

as one of his passengers.

- Where did you drop this passenger?

- Well... that's the trouble...

I don't remember.

Maybe he was the one I took

to Czerny St, but, maybe not.

This is crap!

We have a list of his runs today.

We could send someone to

everyone of these places.

Listen, you tell me at 11:30 at night...

that this man went to one of 15

different houses this afternoon...

And you really think this

Dedic, if it was he...

will kindly wait for us...

until we come to call on him

to pay our respects?

Get them out of here!

Go home and finish your soup.

Querida?

Arnold...

Come here.

Hey!

Hey, you with the soup!

What was that address you think

you dropped him at?

Czerny St, 61 Czerny St.

Czerny St. Czerny St.

Czerny St, 61.

Czerny St.

Czerny St.

Czerny St!

Czerny St.

Czerny St.

"Czerny St, 21."

From 21 to 61, is 20 houses.

- Dr. Svoboda?

- Yes.

Gestapo.

- You live here alone?

- Yes.

You didn't per chance receive a visit

from a man with a bullet wound?

No.

- You can't go in there!

- Stop this non-sense!

Men!

Open!

Well, the situation here would tend

to exclude the presences...

of any third person.

Sorry...

but you see, we are looking for

the uncle of a certain Mr. Bartos...

Who asked me to deliver his last farewell.

In person.

Muller, check the whole building

from cellar to roof.

Every room and closet.

Yes, sir.

Attention.

Come in doctor, come in. No, no, no,

Miss Novotny, please remain as you are.

I'm only staying a little while.

Catch my breath, and smoke a cigarette.

If I may, doctor?

Well, well, my young friend...

I don't mind admitting I'm surprised.

You see doctor, personally,

I have never been fully convinced...

Of your marvelous quick

success of Miss Novotny.

And you, Miss Novotny,

you surprise me even more.

After all, you're engaged to be

married in a few weeks...

but I suppose that in wartime

life moves a lot faster.

Inspector, there is a

limit to these insults.

Of course, doctor,

my humble apologies mademoiselle.

- Why don't you leave me alone?

- Just a few more puffs.

You see...

I had no idea I would find you here...

at least not tonight.

In my stupid way, I thought I would

find a certain gentleman...

who in turn, would help me find

that other gentleman.

You remember,

whom you helped Kladno Av..

That's all very interesting,

Inspector...

But if you insist on keeping us company...

Perhaps you would like a glass of wine

to go with your cigarette.

Well, well, doctor,

I would be delighted.

You have no beer?

Of course you have no "beer".

Beer wouldn't be the thing in such

a romantic atmosphere.

Sorry, Inspector, the rug.

But better be careful when you

stumble near me again, doctor...

my boys here got just a

little nervous just then.

We have fulfill your orders.
