Jakob The Liar Page #8

-Of course I do.|-You do?

I've heard it.

"This is the BBC from London."

You actuaIIy heard this radio?

I'm not supposed to teII anyone.

Where is it?

Where is your damn radio?

Lina, where the radio is matters|a great deaI to a Iot of peopIe.

WouId Jakob trust us to Iisten to it?

Stop.

I'II show you.

I'II show you my radio.

Go, Lina. Go, go!

Forget about the radio, Mischa!

That...

...is my radio.

You've just toId your Iast joke, yid!

Stop.

Go! Run there!

Run. Trust me, run!

Don't shoot.

PIease don't shoot.|Don't shoot!

It was you.

The Jew who was out after curfew.

And it was your radio I heard.

Excuse me, sir,|is that a probIem for you?

You're the one with the probIem,|my friend!

That's true.

That's certainIy the case.|I can't argue with that.

But to Iet a Jew hear a radio...

...that's a serious offense, isn't it?

You can shoot me,|but you stiII don't have my radio.

So...

...we both have a probIem, don't we?

May I?

You will stand up|in front of the Jews...

...and tell them there was no radio.

You made it all up. Everything.

There is no radio, no resistance.

In return for your confession,|I won't shoot you.

But you wiII put me|on a transport to the camps.

It's the same thing, isn't it?

That's not much of a deaI for me.

You may be a good soIdier...

...but you're not|much of a businessman.

Excuse me for saying so.

Who knows?

You might survive a week|in the camps.

Two weeks. Six months.

UntiI the Russians or the Americans|or the British arrive.

You know how cIose they are,|don't you?

There's aIways hope.

Isn't there?

What man doesn't want to see|the next day...

...and the one after that?

You aII know this man.

He toId you he had a radio.

He toId you|that you shouId resist...

...the German authorities.

He wiII now teII you...

...that this was aII a Iie.

He wiII teII you that|there never was such a radio.

And that resistance...

...is pointIess.

TeII them.

TeII them.

Hey, you.

TeII them.

So that's how it ended.

I never got a chance to be|the big hero and make my big speech.

I swear, I had a speech|all prepared...

...about freedom|and never giving in.

But somehow....

Yes, that's how it ended.

They all went off to the camps...

...and were never seen again.

But maybe it wasn't|like that at all.

Because, you know,|as Frankfurter says:

"Until the last line|has been spoken...

... the curtain cannot come down. "

About 50 kilometres out of town...

... the train was stopped|by Russian troops...

... who hadjust|taken Bezanika and Pry.

Roll it out, roll it out|Roll out the barrel

Sing a song of good cheer

'Cause the whole gang is here

Roll it out, roll it out

Let's do the Beer Barrel Polka!
