- I don't want to.
- Mrs. Brov will take you. -Dad.
Lay down.
And sleep.
You don't like us
anymore, do you?
What are you saying?
Tom!
There is no one I love more
than you and your mum. No one.
Then why do I have
to go to grandma's?
Because mama is in the hospital
and I have a lot of work.
Remember when we read about the giant
squid that no one could defeat?
There's a monster like
that I have to fight now.
Even though it can't be killed?
If we keep fighting it all the time,
it's going to get tired and weak.
And maybe one day
somebody will defeat it.
Who?
Somebody.
Maybe you.
Good night.
What did they promise you
to get you to lie tomorrow?
This is my wife,
and my daughter.
In 1944 she left with the child for
Bavaria to live with her mother.
At the end of the war I was
captured by the Russians,
and they sent me to Siberia.
You have no idea what it's
like, 8 years' imprisonment.
I only know my
daughter from photos.
And now I will see them.
You want me to believe that?
You can believe
whatever you want.
You knew all the time that I found
the bullet in the post office.
- Yes, I could have.
- Why didn't you?
Sometimes, things are
not the way they look.
Here is the name of the
the post office murderer.
You are going to
testify in court.
You can read it in as evidence.
You'll save the lives
of five innocent Jews.
No one can save them now.
- We both know that.
- This is the evidence.
Do you think they're
going to let you go?
They will.
They'll swap me.
What do you think will
happen if I read this out?
Will it change anything?
There is no justice, captain.
- I'm going to call the prosecutor.
- Don't do it.
They will ruin you, just
the way they've ruined me.
Think of Tom. What
about his future?
What good is a
father who's afraid?
And what good is a
father who's dead?
If it were up to me, I'd send
you back to Siberia. Not home.
Don't forget.
Everything that
happens in this court
is delayed one minute
before being broadcast.
- Do you understand that?
- Of course.
Where the counter-revolutionary group
"The Community" is about to be tried.
This group has committed
armed robberies and sabotage
in our country in order to support
Zionist terrorists and US agressors.
In the name of the people and the state,
the members of this group will be tried:
Abraham Hbner, Otto Bektajn,
Eli Lintok,
Karel Rikl, Ester Kleinov
and Emanuel Kirsch.
Their confessions are conclusive proof
that, with the money of our workers,
they wanted to support the unjust fight
of Zionist separatists in Palestine.
My function and conscience
force me to demand
the most severe punishment for
them all:
The Death Penalty!Did someone just come in here?
There's always someone
coming in here.
I will now call the representative
of the police to the stand.
Comrade Major, what can you
tell us about this case?
For a year, I have worked intensively
on uncovering and apprehending
a Europe-wide criminal gang of Zionists
supporting terrorism in the Near East.
One trail led me to Bohemia.
I was able to uncover a group of
subversives organising armed robberies.
The group belongs to an international
network organised from the USA.
The defendants have confessed.
In my opinion, they are guilty.
like to add, Comrade Major?
No. Thank you.
The accused will rise.
crimes you have been accused of?
Guilty.
Guilty.
- Guilty.
- Guilty.
- Guilty.
- Guilty.
Guilty.
The court will now adjourn
for deliberation.
At ten o'clock tomorrow,
the verdict will be read.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
Excuse me, I'm sorry.
What? -Comrade Captain
Hakl is waiting for you.
Excuse me for a moment.
Jarda.
What are you doing here?
I'm at work. Does
that surprise you?
No, not at all.
I'm glad to see you again.
I know the name of the
post office murderer.
Janata.
Janata never even shot an airgun.
Why would he do that?
For money. He was hired by
They've all confessed.
And it's over now.
No. Janata was hired by somebody else.
Janata is a victim.
Just like Kirsch. And
just like all the others.
Do you have any evidence?
The bullet from the post office
and a ballistics report.
The name of the owner of
the gun is also there.
And the names of everyone
who took part in this.
What do you want
to do with it now?
Arrest the murderer.
I am arresting you on
legitimate suspicion of murder.
You're the best I ever
had in this department.
I'll give this to the
state prosecutor.
Who do you think sent
those guys this morning?
- Did you send them to hurt Jitka too?
- I had to. It was your fault.
Where is that bullet?
When they order you to kill
your mother, will you do it?
- Where is that bullet?
- Will you throw her off a bridge too?
Don't you realise this is exactly
what they want us to do?
Where's that f***ing bullet,
you son of a b*tch?
Now it's safe.
Yes?
The swap has been made.
be nothing but a murder again.
Call the prosecutor immediately.
We have to stop the trial.
You are going to have to explain
this to Moscow, Comrade Colonel.
Mommy...
He gave me an order.
Monetary Reform! No Need For Panic!
Plenty Of New Bank Notes!
Bread Now Cheaper For Everyone!
Dynamo Prague Beats
Spartak Stalingrad 3:0!
Now they've done it! Those
bastards have gone and done it!
It's a disgrace! Those Bolshevik
thieves stole it all!
- Get it! Take his bag!
- Give it to me.
- Stop crying.
- They took my bag.
Tom?
Tom?
This film is dedicated to the victims
