There is another reason.

We do harclerons more.

Semyonovich will take you home.

Yakov Bok,

under the circumstances,

and without congratulate you

for your conduct,

I cancel the charge

against you.

God thank you!

However, I will ask

the court ...

You are still charged

to be domiciled

in an area forbidden to the Jews,

unless they have made

service to the crown.

This is not your case.

No, I must admit.

You will be charged and tried

for committing an offense.

His luck.

Are you part

these political organizations?

Social democracy,

Socialist Revolutionaries

or any other group,

league whose Jewish

Zionists of all categories

nihilistic or people's party?

To save time,

note that the defendant

has already responded negatively.

Everything is in its folder.

You understand that my goal

is not to save time.

I take these revolutionary

seriously.

Time is irrelevant.

Listen carefully

my next question.

What do the Jews

by the word "afikomen"?

This is a matzo

you eat the Passover.

That's the magic?

For me, it would be

superstition.

This was

in your room.

It was an old man, a Hasid.

But I do not know.

He was lost, I left

spend the night with me.

Although Jewish.

Jews do not fear

nothing of their own.

A little respect.

This old you did he not help

to prepare and cook the matzo?

Not at all.

Do you know this?

The old man was shot in the head.

I used my shirt

to clean his blood.

Approach.

Tell me,

Yakov Bok Shepsovitch,

alias Yakov Ivanovich Dologushev,

alias I do not know what yet ...

Have you chased children?

Among them, a 12 year old boy,

Zhenia named Golov?

It was found

murdered shortly thereafter.

You can see the photo right here.

Well, Mr. Jew ...

why are you trembling?

It reduced the number of outputs

for pocket money.

The secret police confiscated

If flying four rubles per day,

it would make much more.

Who knows what a Jew is

his money?

He had to buy sweets

to attract children.

They struggled to escape.

When we found the body

in the small cave,

I searched his room.

And I found the matzo,

flour and soiled linen.

This is it!

Yes, that's him.

What do you mean by "it"?

The Jew who chased Zhenia

with a knife.

The accused has been identified.

Can we enter Marfa?

Tell us

events before Passover.

Speak slowly and clearly.

Are you listening?

Carefully.

My son went to school

as usual.

I worked late.

Zhenia was not at home

when I returned.

I thought

he was at his grandmother.

The same evening,

I caught the flu.

You know how it is.

I had fever,

I was sweating

and vomited like a fountain.

For three days,

I remained bedridden.

I was going

to go to the police ...

when it was found

Zhenia body.

With 39 stab wounds

Jew in the body.

My life is over.

I lost my reason to live.

They killed my baby!

I'm mad.

Why did you warned

police so late?

In my state?

I was holding any liquid

dgoulinais and everywhere.

- I did not get up fast enough ...

- Keep your story.

You said the Jew Zhenia

before his assassination?

He told me that a Jew had

chased with a knife.

And he wanted to kill

for good.

My poor little Zhenia!

He wanted to be ready.

You I said, my father?

He saw a jar of blood

on the table of the Jew.

I do not have a jar of blood!

It's jam

not blood!

Silence!

Tell him to drop his weapon.

This man in handcuffs.

We have our answers.

I do not think ...

I'll use my privilege

and examine the witness.

Why persecute sick?

What have I done?

We have no account

to make us.

Have you accepted stolen goods

a band of thieves ...

with your lover?

Is it not true

in January,

you blinded by throwing

phenol in the eyes?

Then you are reconciled.

He beat me.

I had to defend myself.

He tried to poke my eye.

There was pus flowed.

And besides ...

As you said,

I continue to see it.

He swears by me.

Is it not also true

he beat your son so much

the boy fainted?

He killed my baby.

He killed my poor little.

Zhenia!

He undressed the little

and prayed over his body.

Then he stabbed

at specific locations.

Thirteen stabbing

in the core.

Thirteen blows to the throat.

Thirteen face.

He collected his blood

in vials

while the small

begged him

and wept no more review

the world of the living.

You cry?

I grieve for the child.

Who else?

You confess?

I can not say

I have not done.

All seem to indicate ...

you are a victim of the Jews

as well as the child.

The idea was to them, not you.

Come on, admit it!

We take into account the fact

that you acted in spite of you.

A man of your intelligence

an open mind.

You have been deceived, Yakov.

You can not fool the innocent.

No Jew

could not kill this child.

It's written everywhere: no blood.

It's in the Bible, the Torah,

laws, everywhere ...

My wife threw eggs

that yellow was stained with blood.

I told him to be careful.

We do not drove gold.

She was a good cook,

elsewhere.

We ate well.

Enough!

We have evidence

you killed the child

and that you belong to the Kahal,

Jewish secret organization,

preparing a revolution

to overthrow the Tsar.

I'm not rvolutionnariste.

Policy has never interested.

I know nothing.

Admit if you want to live.

Otherwise, even God

can do nothing for you.

I do not have the talent to lie.

Lie ...

This is the only talent of the Jews.

They are predictable

and criminal nature.

Everything has been scientifically proven.

Get up!

The Jewish nose ...

And all are signs of crime.

Here, this is yours.

This is yours.

It is the mind?

Tell me, did not we learn

respect to the Jews?

Si

What is it?

It receives only if it has.

I'll make you move

in a cell preventive

the Kiev prison.

Mr. Attorney ...

I've spent 5 months in prison.

Mr. Bibikov said ...

Crying on the shoulder of Bibikov,

it does not change anything.

I will make sure

pourrissiez you in jail.

I know who you are.

And then?

Unlike you,

I am guilty.

Just for that, I admire you.

This is more than I can say.

What does it serve me?

It frees me tomorrow.

No, no.

Dalton Trumbo

James Dalton Trumbo (December 9, 1905 – September 10, 1976) was an American screenwriter and novelist who scripted many award-winning films including Roman Holiday, Exodus, Spartacus, and Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo. One of the Hollywood Ten, he refused to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) in 1947 during the committee's investigation of communist influences in the motion picture industry. He, along with the other members of the Hollywood Ten and hundreds of other industry professionals, was subsequently blacklisted by that industry. His talents as one of the top screenwriters allowed him to continue working clandestinely, producing work under other authors' names or pseudonyms. His uncredited work won two Academy Awards: for Roman Holiday (1953), which was given to a front writer, and for The Brave One (1956) which was awarded to a pseudonym of Trumbo's. When he was given public screen credit for both Exodus and Spartacus in 1960, this marked the beginning of the end of the Hollywood Blacklist for Trumbo and other screenwriters. He finally was given full credit by the Writers' Guild for all his achievements, the work of which encompassed six decades of screenwriting. more…
