I know better than anyone.

They killed Mr. Bibikov

in this prison,

Did you know?

We have no proof.

Do not talk.

Your situation is already

quite dangerous.

I have already spoken.

A Grubeshov

and Count Odoevsky.

What did he take?

Anger.

You must control your anger.

I beseech you, Yakov,

be careful.

I can not die.

Yet.

I want to live.

I will not die.

I must live!

I'm not dying.

I'm not dying.

You got what you wanted.

I hope they hang you.

Your trial begins today.

Take your breakfast.

Look.

A real treat!

Jews were treated like royalty.

Eat.

I do not want it.

I'm too nervous.

I can not swallow anything.

I gave you an order.

When I tell you to eat,

you eat!

Begins with soup.

Go ...

Do not hurry, Captain,

Take your time.

Let me get this clear

Captain.

Understand

this is your prisoner

at present.

If it happens anything,

you are responsible,

not me.

Is that understood?

Take him.

Dropping off the animal

to his cell and search him.

We have searched.

Again.

I have changed hands.

Not exactly.

Count me Odoevsky wrote

St. Petersburg.

His Majesty the Tsar to avoid

risk of accident.

He also ordered

rigorous a search

the prisoner.

I have already been searched twice.

The guards saw me.

Silence!

Drive it.

In your cell.

I shave it all.

And find him a yarmulke.

Opens his mouth.

Bend down and away.

And removes the stinky shirt.

I've never had to remove it.

Ote it or I transform

in tatters.

Who do you take me?

A magician?

I have no books

in the stomach,

or regiment in the mouth,

or witness in the ears.

Wait.

The law is the law.

It is forbidden to kill a prisoner.

Spread yourself.

We must obey the law.

This is my prisoner.

I guaranteed his safety.

Open!

Arise, Jew.

Back!

Back!

Bring him down.

Raise arms!

Bring it.

I'm not going away,

From what I have been

to get here.

His name is Yakov Bok.

Jewish.

Innocent.

And your brother at all.

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…
