for brake repair tomorrow.

Brake repair...

Would you let me in?

Is it you? Thank God for that...

I... brought your umbrella back...

by way of apology...

It's not your style...

No. But it looks good.

Okay. Give it here...

No, don't!

Stop!

This could never work!

- Hi, Magda.

- Hi, Pali.

- Like your hair!

- Thanks!

- You got a light?

- Sure.

- Pisti?

- He's not coming.

He's on a mission.

The bus will be 20 minutes.

Can I give you a lift?

Yes.

Thanks...

Nra?

She's still scared.

She should come over to ours sometime!

What?

Pali! What are you doing?

Pali! Stop it!

Pali!

Don't!

No! Pali, no! Don't!

You're creating false links, Zoltn!

No one will congratulate you...

if... the truth gets out.

I hope you know how far you can go!

You mustn't undermine the public's

faith in the legal system.

You can't pull cases in

that take your fancy.

It means that case is closed.

She was strangled, just like the others.

The odd thing is.

- The cut breasts!

- Something else.

We found concrete evidence.

Where? What? Tell me!

The woman had microscopic splinters

of security glass under her nails.

We don't know how they got there.

When she put up a fight

or when he moved her!

We'll find out!

Comrade Szirmai!

Look at this...

Aha...

All the drivers are suspects.

I want the travel records

of all the local drivers!

- Understood!

- Thank you!

- What's wrong?

- Nothing.

I just had a bad dream

and I've got a headache.

I'll be back tonight.

What's wrong, Mummy?

Nothing... you go

and pack your schoolbag...

Okay...

- Anything yet?

- Nothing!

- That's impossible!

- I told you, the idiots hoovered it!

It's there, we just haven't spotted it!

Here...

Could you give me a hand?

- Did you check under the seat?

- And around the gearstick!

Tweezers!

Hello...

What's going on?

They're questioning everybody

and especially the drivers.

Can you show me

his work clothes?

The ones he wears to work...

Bring them here!

- Is that all?

- And what he's wearing.

When was the last time you washed these?

I don't wash the jacket often,

but the rest last week.

- Do you know Mrs. Szegedi?

- Who?

Mrs. Szegedi.

No, I've not heard her name before.

Her maiden name was "Magda Ebner".

Yes, she was my wife's classmate.

What were you doing

on the evening of June 19th?

I was home with my wife.

And will she verify that?

Yes. Feel free to ask her.

And if you finally find her attacker...

she might speak more willingly.

Okay. Go out to the yard and wait.

When can I go?

I've got animals to feed.

I can't say. But you have to wait.

You charging me?

Not for now, but wait!

Pl Bognr, I'm arresting you!

Let the bastard die!

What about Rti?

And you killed Erzsbet Patai, too.

- I know it was you.

- You know now.

You're a bit late, aren't you?

Bta! Enough! Enough!

You'll never question another suspect!

He f***ed my life up!

Why didn't you rape the others?

- Does it excite you?

- No.

No, but we need to understand.

- Have you ever raped anyone?

- No.

- Then how can you understand?

- I can't.

You shouldn't. It's disgusting.

But I'll try.

I tried to get it out of my head,

but I couldn't...

...for years.

- Such a bad memory?

- Such a good one.

I could only do it with Nra

if I thought of them.

Why didn't you have

sex with the others?

I didn't even try with them.

Didn't your wife notice anything?

She was happy I didn't

want to screw other women.

She could teach me, baby me,

be the one in charge.

I was nervous on the honeymoon

that she'd be disappointed.

I wanted to make

sure it would be all okay.

I had a lover earlier... Erzsbet Patai.

I taught her to ride a motorbike,

but then she got bored that nothing

happened between us.

She was...

she was a hot woman, you know?

That's why I had the idea.

I waited for her by the factory.

It was only 2 weeks to the wedding

and I was very excited.

kos Rti came to wait for her.

I followed them,

and they had an argument.

kos wanted to kiss her

and grab her breasts,

but Erzsi pulled away.

kos was left standing.

I followed her.

She was upset and

wouldn't talk to me,

but I was attentive.

She told me her problems

and I told her mine.

She caressed me,

and she helped me take my trousers off.

She only pulled her skirt up...

but I couldn't get an erection.

So I asked her to show me her breasts.

She took her bra off...

but still nothing.

She laughed at me.

She got up, grabbed

her clothes and left.

I followed her,

and I found a metal bar by the tracks.

I caught up with her,

she turned around,

and I hit her over the head.

And then I got hard.

I wanted her to stroke me

but she wasn't moving.

And where's that metal now?

By the rails not far from here.

And we looked for an axe!

What makes you do this?

You'll never work it out!

There are some things

we can never get close to!

Hello, Juhsz.

Hello!

You've got a good tan...

And I wasn't out of the water all week!

- Anything?

- Katona called you five times...

- I'll go and see him.

- That won't be easy.

They transferred him to Borsod...

and demoted him.

- Bta?

- He moved to Zala.

What?! Why?

They pensioned him off.

As part of the Soviet-Czechoslovak pact

signed in Prague on October 16,

after having served our internationalist

duties, our troops set back home.

And after 2 months away from home,

our soldiers...

And you?

Me?

I'm staying... here.

Congratulations!

My son. Where's my son?

His mum didn't want you

to meet right away...

What?!

They're tight.

You can take them off.

After spending 10 years in prison, kos Rti

was found not guilty but never rehabilitated.

He died a few years after his release.
