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

You've already signed it

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

- Reporting Antonina Dziwisz

- 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 filthy little slut

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

of using the right method

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!

Were the Gestapo human too?

You stupid insolent whore.

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

that's going round a corner

One wrong move and we'll all crash.

Understand that

If at this stage when our system

is still young and vulnerable
