If our enemies can find

just one little crack...

...it could have terrible consequences

Try to understand

- Eat

- I can't

You can put the dumplings

in the oven, can't you?

Yes. Lift your leg higher

Stop singing

Don't bother me with that.

It'll be late

Stop singing!

I haven't got time. Yes.

See you later

Stop singing

Stop singing

or I'll smash this phone on your head

You stupid woman.

What are you playing at?

I can bring anyone off the street and

they'll admit to everything I want them to

Ada. It can't be like this

Someone's on the phone for you

- What?

- The phone upstairs

Stupid woman! What have...?

Are you trying to make a fool of me?

Nobody called

There was a call.

They must have hung up

- What's she doing here?

- She's unconscious

She has to be brought round.

She won't say anything in this state

We'll have to start from scratch

- Take care of it

- Yes, sir!

There... my sweet

See?

See?

I'm scared

Don't be scared

- I'm scared

- Don't be scared

- I'm scared. It's a dream

- What dream?

I'm scared. It's a dream!

- What dream?

- I don't want to wake up! No!

What's the time?

Five

Five in the evening

or five in the morning?

Five in the morning

I'll tell the Major that you let me sleep

And he'll replace me with someone

who won't let you

Why did you do that?

I don't want to force you to confess

I would like you to freely admit

that you are guilty

Guilty of what?

Do you believe in all this?

I would like you to understand that...

...for matters of state importance,

for general matters...

...sometimes you have to sacrifice

individual interest...

...and sometimes even friendship

Maybe you could make

such a sacrifice...

...but I really don't know anybody

who would do that or talk like this

And Mira Szejnert?

You want to convince me

that they're all pigs...

...that if they've betrayed me

I should also betray them?

You don't know my friends.

You don't know my husband

They're people who don't betray

You're still very naive

After all, there's no such thing

as an absolute honesty

In Auschwitz what was honesty for one

was utter betrayal for another

People are capable of doing

much worse things than you think

Everyone. Without exception

Were you afraid?

Yes. I was then

- I was afraid

- I'm also afraid

What of? Death?

No. Loneliness

- Do you believe in God?

- I don't know

So in whose name

are you enduring all this?

You know, I always

did badly at school

As a punishment

my parents sent me to work in Warsaw

The whole family in Lwow died

but I survived because of my punishment

After the outbreak of the uprising

I fell in love with this boy

His codename was "Boar".

At least that's what he told me

I was really taken by him

He had shiny officer's boots

and a German machine gun

He was terribly attractive

One night I got away from the bakery

and went to see him in the barricades...

We went to this flat during a bombing.

Rubble was flying everywhere

And it was really wonderful,

the very first time

I hurried back feeling guilty

that everyone was working...

...and there I was enjoying myself

But when I got back

I saw that the bakery was gone

It was just a pile of rubble.

Everyone had been killed

And you know what I think?

No matter what, in life you've got

to mess around and do things on a whim

Sensibility and obedience

are not always rewarded

Perhaps that's the only thing I believe

I want to go back to the cell

Sergeant. Here's to the birthday boy!

Vodka!

- Cigarette?

- What my dear? What's the matter?

- Shall we get her clothes off?

- Who?

- You know... her

- Give it a rest. She stinks

So she stinks. So what?

Her tits aren't bad, I've seen them

Morawski

Give the patient a drink

- It's a waste of a shot, Major

- So it's a waste. So what?

- Come here and help me

- I'm coming

Go on. Drink, little girl

Go on, drink

- Drink

- Gentlemen

Happy Birthday to you...

Happy Birthday to you...

Now she'll be sick

Don't kill me. I want to live

Let me go. I'm begging you. No!

Leave me

Name, surname. Father's name?

Name, surname, date of birth,

father's name?

- Name

- Antonina

- Surname?

- Dziwisz

- Father's name?

- Antonina

- Father's name?

- Dziwisz

Date of birth?

Date of birth?

So... are you going to sign or not?

This is your last chance

No

Shoot

Do it

Shoot!

You. Tell him to shoot me!

I can't take this any more!

Do it! Please!

These methods are crap

First some stupid breakfast.

Now some kind of theatre. What is this?

A brothel or an investigation?

Where's Mira?

They let her out

She's free

Good

I can't take this any more

Let me out of here!

Let me out! I'm innocent!

Let me out!

Mummy!

Let me out!

I would like to inform you

that I'm taking over your case

Does that make any difference to you?

How do you feel?

Warden? Come here

Tonia. How do you feel?

Are you all right?

I wrote so many letters to you.

Couldn't you reply?

What's the matter? Tonia?

You see. It's like this...

For the first few days

I didn't know what had happened

I thought you'd died

or had some accident...

I thought I was going out of my mind

Then after a couple of days

a search started

I was finally summoned

by the secret service

One of the officers explained to me

A lieutenant said

that you were suspected of espionage

I couldn't believe it.

I still don't believe it

But Tonia.

He showed me your confession

With your own signature

Tonia how could you?

You were Olcha's lover?

You slept with Wit Lemanski

There were so many others

With such coldness? So easily?

Didn't you stop to think

that I'm your husband?

I'll never forgive you

You destroyed our marriage

so thoughtlessly

So coldly and cynically

Tonia, I hate you

I hate you.

I don't ever want to see you again

That's all I really came

here for. To tell you...

...because anyway I can get

a civil divorce without your consent

That's all

Tonia, at least say that it wasn't...

That they...

Nothing?

Stand here

A parcel from your husband

Oh, gosh!

Help!

Help!

Murderers!

So she comes over to me

and gives me three packets

Three packets... she comes to me

with these kinds of things

Look. She's woken up

- Where am I?

- In heaven, Princess. Heaven

Am I in prison?

What did you think?

Of course you're in prison

- What time is it?

- Just after dinner

And it's 1952?

Maybe it is 1952.

Why should I care?

I'm here for life anyway

Do you have a mirror?

A mirror?

So you can slit your wrists again?

Take all the water from the siphon

Kiss kiss

Legs and tits

Emilia Walesiak

For you from the men's ward

Kisses on your legs

Your tits

Mira?

I thought they let you out

Yes

You're not angry with me, are you?

I don't hold anything against you

No

Mira, what's the matter with you?

Mira?

You don't recognize me, do you?

Dziwisz

Mira

Here, my Princess.

Just don't tell anyone I gave it to you

Lullaby, sweet Jesus, lullaby

Lullaby, my baby, precious and dear
