In the Shadow Page #3

Will you call him?

Everyone's saying they'll do it!

We've been saving this money for Tom!

I won't let them take it.

Are you going somewhere?

Pnek is having a party.

He's been promoted.

- I'm cooking. Why didn't you tell me?

- Sorry, I forgot.

- Let me give you a clean shirt.

- That's sweet of you.

I met that German colleague of

yours down in the laundry room.

Yes?

He's quite nice.

Would you like to

invite him for dinner?

One night we might.

- He's a complete stranger.

- You know nothing about him.

Maybe more than I'd like to.

I think Mr Zenke

is a decent man.

Brov thinks so too.

And Tom likes him.

You don't know what

you're talking about.

How should I when you never

tell me anything? -He's a liar.

- At least he talks to me.

- So you talk together?

He's a Nazi, Jitka. He's SS.

WE DON'T ASK FOR PEACE

WE FIGHT FOR PEACE

Sorry to hear you've been

called off the case.

Don't worry about it.

- How have you been doing?

- Alright.

- How about Major Zenke?

- He's doing his best.

- Today he closed the post office case.

- Did he? -Yeah.

And who killed those people?

Janata.

Janata, I see.

They found him under a bridge.

He was run over by a train.

He had a machine gun on him, the

same one used at the post office.

He and Foll were hired by the

Jewish Community Centre.

Something about that

strange to you?

- Jarda.

- Congratulations on your promotion.

- Thank you.

- Can I talk to you for a moment?

Of course.

What's up? I wanted to introduce you

to Colonel Morozovov from Moscow.

- Is that necessary?

- It's an order.

I'd like to testify in court.

About Kirsch.

I can try, but I doubt

they'll allow it.

Thank you.

- Thanks.

- Congratulations. -Thank you.

Comrade Colonel, allow me to introduce

you to Comrade Captain Hakl.

Comrade Colonel Morozov.

Here you are, gentlemen.

Thank you.

Cheers.

Comrade Colonel, congratulations

on your promotion.

Thank you.

Why are you doing this?

Excuse me?

Why are you doing this?

I don't know what you're

talking about, captain.

I'm talking about Kirsch.

Kirsch has confessed.

He confessed

but he didn't do it.

And you know it.

make any difference to you, does it?

What are you waiting for? You

weren't so scared yesterday.

Or aren't you any

good one on one?

You're talking nonsense.

You have no idea what you're

getting yourself into.

You have a fine family.

You should take

better care of them.

Sometimes, things are

not the way they look.

Leave me alone.

The Minister of Finance

had this to say:

There will be no monatery reform.

It will not happen.

Those who say so are liars.

They talk so much

about not doing it

that it's strange,

don't you think?

We'll just put some

plaster on it.

Come in.

Nice place you've got here.

You can sleep in my bed.

I'll sleep in the armchair. I'm used to it.

Do you have anything to drink?

I'll stop by the neighbour's.

Dammit.

STATE SECURITY SERVICE ID

I was out of matches.

I said my boss was here and he gave

me an old bottle of pear brandy.

Here you are.

What do we drink to?

To life.

To life.

- Good morning.

- Good morning.

- Hello.

- Hi.

Hello. I'm looking for Mr Hakl.

- Jarda isn't home.

- I need to speak with him.

Can I leave him a message?

- Fine. You can count on it.

- Thank you. -Goodbye.

I AM A ZIONIST. I STOLE CLOTH

FOR AMERICAN UNIFORMS.

Tom!

I forgot the tests at home. Can

you go on your own, honey?

- Hello.

- Hello.

- I'll take these...

- Daffodils.

And how many?

Maybe five?

Two crowns.

- Nice choice.

- Thanks. -Thank you.

Captain, Jitka was taken to

the hospital by ambulance.

- What happened?

- A robber hit her.

There was a lot of blood.

Captain, think of your family.

Good afternoon, Comrade Captain.

I took this case myself.

I'm sorry, Jarda.

- How is she?

- Hopefully she'll be fine.

Has anyone you sent to

jail gotten out recently?

- I don't know... maybe.

- They didn't steal it.

Well... you know the procedure.

Find out what's missing.

The prosecution rejected

you testifying in court.

They only want Zenke to

represent the police.

There was nothing

more I could do.

Vt'a from ballistics called.

He wouldn't leave a message.

Thanks.

I need something from you.

GALLERY OWNER:

Hakl here. Give me Vt'a

Novk, ballistics.

When did he leave?

Again!

Dad, why do they

keep turning it off?

Maybe they want us to be afraid.

I'm not afraid of anything.

Like you!

- Really?

- Yeah!

That's good.

Damn...

Tom, clean the table.

- Bon appetite.

- Bon appetite.

Good.

Not really.

When mum gets out of the hospital

she'll roast us a chicken.

What happened to you?

- I got in a fight.

- You won't let me get in fights.

Well now I will... but you have

to know why you're fighting.

And did you win?

- Do you want to learn to fight?

- Yeah. But mum'll be angry.

Then it'll be our secret.

Come on then.

Basic stance.

With your left you go for the head,

then a right hook to the belly.

Go.

Wait here, Tom.

What are you doing here? -Captain Hakl.

I'm looking for Vt'a Novk.

He took a few days off. I'm filling in.

Can I help you?

Tom!

- What's up, dad?

- We have to go now.

It's nothing important. I'll

drop in some other time.

He was here.

HAKL, 23 BILKOVA STREE

Dad, where are we going now?

Home, Tom.

We've got to go home.

Tom!

Dad!

Do you want to lose

your kid or what?

Who are you? Who sent you?

What's all this about?

- Are you insane?

- Daddy, I'm scared.

Sorry.

Forgive me. You can go.

Tom, come on.

Tom, nothing happened.

Everything is fine.

You don't have to worry about anything.

Is that clear?

Come on then.

What are you looking for, dad?

Was there anybody looking

for me yesterday? -No.

Tom...

It's important. Try to remember.

Well, mum talked to a man

down in the courtyard.

And what did he look like?

Was he wearing glasses?

He was. Can I recite that poem for

you now since mum is not here?

- You can.

- But you have to correct me.

The Kulak.

Listen people, what happened yesterday

near Prague, in a place called Lhota.

A poor kulak - can you imagine -

was hiding millions in his shoe.

He hid them there

for many years,

waiting for the regime to end,

looking forward to a happy future,

eager to multiply his money.

Now he is facing catastrophe. He

was never used to having to work.

Now tell me, how shall poor

kulaks make their living?

Did I do it good, dad?

Dad!

Good.

Very good.

After reading the charges

the judge will ask you

to read the conclusions

of your investigation.

The interpreter will be

standing right behind you.

You will say what you're supposed to

say then you'll go back and sit down.

And then?

You've got more friends than we thought.

Bonn accepted a swap.

You'll get your passport from the driver.

At 5:
00pm you cross the border.

Let's get going. The journalists

are expecting us in ten minutes.

What are you doing? -You're going

to your grandma's for a few days.
