Don't you have friends like that?
Anyway, if you'd known Kaz
you would understand that...
...he was just a cheerful, lovely guy
who loved life, drinking vodka, girls
And above all he's my friend
You call someone who betrays
their country a friend?
- I believe him more than you
- That's why you should be shot!
That's not everything. You took part
in the destruction of army buildings
What buildings?
Have you forgotten about the incident
at the training ground in Ostroda?
- Who told you about that?
- Do you admit to that or not?
Was it Witkowska?
I was just telling a story in the cell
I just made it up -
a funny story to cheer things up a bit
We have cast iron evidence
OK. So sh*t flew everywhere
That's what happened.
But what's that got...
A communal lavatory is as important
to the army as a rifle
You weakened the defensive power
of our fatherland
You were working
in favor of Western imperialism
We were drunk. I didn't know what was
going on. Haven't you ever been drunk?
If you sign a confession that you were
working under Olcha's orders...
...you could save your neck
But it was my idea to shoot
"Major Olcha passed an agent to me
from the Embassy..."
- I didn't say that
- But it's true. I didn't dream it up
I want to read my previous confession
I'm not signing this
You know yourself
that it's not true
Not true?
Great. I haven't been able
to go to the hairdresser's here
I'll give you a cold perm
So is it true or not?
Maybe it's true?
- Yes
- Clearly. Yes or no
Yes!
Sign this
- It doesn't write
- Scribble here
It doesn't write
Dip it in this. Here, write
Damn, write!
It doesn't write. The nib is broken
For f***'s sake!
Write, you f***ing slut!
BOLLOCKS:
Warden! To the baths!
No. Let me go please.
You're hurting me
No!
I'm frightened
Faster
Leave her
Listen.
They've taken the peasant woman
You have to wash, don't you?
Wash and comb your hair
Not to be like an animal, you hear that?
And you've got to eat a lot
You have to eat because then you can
take anything and you have got to sign
You've got to sign and make up crimes.
The more crimes the better
Then our children will live
in such a wonderful happy world
And to every question
there must be a clear, honest answer
No!
They'll smack us in the teeth so hard
that we'll never come round
Class consciousness
is awakening in me
Do you understand that? I was stupid
enough to shoot at army installations
Shooting's too good for people like me
And you've got to belong
to all the organizations going
Quiet!
You'll keep ratting on us, won't you?
Yeah, go on, take it out on me.
Go on. I'm used to it
Communists are
always the guilty ones
Go on
What happened?
Calm down
Jesus!
What did they do to you?
Calm down
Quiet
- Thank you
Please, sit over there
- Eat
- I've just had breakfast
I know what you had for breakfast
I'm not hungry
You're being stupid
and you know it
You'll lose strength.
What do you gain by that?
You're right
What nice rolls.
Are they from the town?
- Why isn't there a knife?
- This isn't a restaurant!
I want to talk with you seriously
Every citizen is obliged
to help the security services
Think about it. Whose side are you on?
That of the traitor
or that of honest people?
That means the fatherland
that feeds you!
Why are you protecting him?
You said you only love your husband
- Why are there no napkins?
- I'm serious
My mum always said talking about
serious things when eating...
...isn't good for you
- Listen
If you cooperate with us,
if you at least show some willing...
...you'll be treated much more leniently
And what do I get? A lollipop?
- I'm serious!
- Me too!
I've got a terrible sweet tooth
You'll get permission to go out
for letters and parcels from home
- Wouldn't you like that?
- And what do you get out of it?
Promotion to Baths Unit Manager?
Don't speak to me so informally.
I'm not your friend
You are important, aren't you?
You piece of sh*t
Fascist slut. I've tried to be nice to you
But I'm obviously wasting my time.
The Major will teach you a thing or two
It's you who he should teach.
You believe in all this. I'm sorry for you
Major, the subject is refusing to comply
Apply a knife or a coin.
It really does help
Bring her in
Comrade, reporting Mira Szejnert
Read
- "I, Mira Szejnert..."
- That bit
And louder
"Together with Antonina Dziwisz,
Major Olcha's lover..."
- Can't your read louder?
- "I went to the meeting point...
"...where a liaison officer
was waiting for us
"He gave the order to Antonina Dziwisz
to collect information...
"...in army bases for
the French intelligence authorities"
So?
She says black and you say white
Mira, why did you do that?
Did they force you?
Speak, did we force you?
Confess, you won't get a long sentence.
Just a few years
They forced you
I had to
- I really had to
- Warden, to the baths
What the f*** d'you mean "you had to"?
You signed it yourself. Not her
So, are you going to sign?
Don't be stupid. Sign and it's all over
and done with. Everything
The authorities aren't going to
mollycoddle sluts like you, understand?
Take your clothes off
All of them
And?
You think you can wind me up?
If you don't sign
I'll shoot you like a dog
I'll count to five
One
Two
Three
Four
Get dressed
You f***ing bastards
F***ing bastards
F***ing jerks.
Pieces of sh*t
Pieces of f***ing sh*t
F***ing scum
You yourselves don't believe
in all this bullshit
F***ing bastards. Sadist!
I see we have taken the wrong approach
with you but you will talk
It's just a question
What method can you use
to force me to do anything?
- You haven't got the imagination
- Silence!
Gestapo. Nazi
If we've taken the wrong tack with you
it's only because we're human
Gestapo!
What do you know about the Gestapo?
What do you know
about concentration camps?
What do you know
about dying in a gas chamber?
I'm tired
You're not going back to the cell
until you sign
You can walk around a bit
You'll sign everything sooner or later
You've got no reason
to keep on with this
Of course, sooner would be better
if you want save your health
You've got nothing to fall back on
to give you strength
No great idea
I suppose you think you'll be a hero
No one becomes a hero
out of stupidity or by chance...
...but from dedication to a great cause.
What idea do you defend?
You want to die.
OK, but in whose name?
For whom? A traitor?
Only those guided by a great idea
will win
Those who struggle
against the tide of history have to die
And no one will remember them
It's as if we were all in a car
One wrong move and we'll all crash.
Understand that
If at this stage when our system
