apologize for Solidarity'
and agree to join the executive
- What if I don't?
- What?
What if I don't?
That's not an option.
You have the key to your own freedom.
Yes or no?
Yes or no?
- You're not a good politician.
- I'm just an electrician.
Good bye.
- Is it going to be a portable altar?
- A field altar, my son.
Will you take pan in the Mass, boys?
We don't have time.
We need to keep an eye on you.
- Forever and ever.
I'm afraid this is my last visit.
They want to punish you this way.
They see your advisers
and react like the devil to holy water.
They want to cut you off
from everybody. I beg you, son,
think about writing to our leader,
General Jaruzelski,
ask him to let you out.
I didn't ask him to lock me up,
I will not ask him to set me free.
There's no shame in it.
Even the Pope has sent
a letter to the general.
No, no, no!
But the general didn't answer.
A letter from Danuta.
I have the Pope's Encyclical for you.
- You should read it.
- No need.
I agree with everything the Pope says.
I'm afraid I have to show you this,
as much as it pains me.
Who is Lech Walesa?
He is a Security Service agent.
A pharisee and a scoundrel.
During the December 1970 riots,
he informed on his colleagues,
including Anna Walentynowicz.
the foundations tor martial law.
Easy, son. This announcement,
supposedly written by Solidarity',
is really distributed
by the Security Service.
They even delivered this
to the Norwegian embassy.
Brezhnev, the Leader
Lech Walesa Released From internment
Dad's coming back.
They've released him!
The streets are empty.
It's 3 in the morning.
People need to sleep before work.
I was supposed to pick you up
earlier, but there was no car.
Don't make me laugh.
I'm glad you didn't tell me to walk.
He's coming! He's coming!
He's mine now.
on the door.
Come say hello to your dad!
You're all grown up! Come on!
TYPHOID:
NO ENTRY:
Solidarity! Solidarity!
Thank you for coming!
Thank you for always believing
in Solidarity'!
Solidarity! Solidarity!
First objection:
why was I taken from my home?
- If you don't want to come to us...
- Then why am I here?
- How are you?
- How do you think I am?
- You're looking good.
- You too.
There's news about you
coming from abroad.
What news exactly?
They talk about your meeting with
leaders of the clandestine Solidarity'.
Give me the case number
and we'll talk.
- Did you meet them?
- I have the right to meet anyone I want.
But did you exercise this right?
- Maybe I did, maybe I didn't.
- Did this meeting take place or not?
There are 30 people watching me.
You should know my every move.
Did this meeting take place?
We want to know your opinion of it.
Why was I taken from my home?
- I want specifics.
- Give me the case number.
I'm not telling you if the meeting
took place.
It would have been a good idea
for me to be there.
Then I will interrogate
you as a witness.
- You will answer my questions.
- I will or I won't. I'll decide.
- You're obligated to answer.
- I'll see if I'm obligated or not.
Did you inform foreign agencies
about the meeting
with the coordinators
of underground Solidarity?
I will not answer this question.
Do you know of anyone else who
might have contacted foreign agencies?
I refuse to answer this question.
As a free man, I can meet anyone
and do anything I please.
I would argue that there's a limit
to doing as you please.
- You have nothing on me.
- Put it on the record:
- 'That's all I have to say."
- Right!
End of report, date, time,
and so on...
Should I read it aloud
before you sign?
No, I will not sign it.
You didn't tell me
in what case I'm a witness.
This case is not about the meeting.
- It is.
- No, it's not.
That's how you see it.
I'm not going to argue with you.
"After reading, I confirm
the report is consistent
with my testimony."
I also confirm I understand nothing.
I can add that you refuse to sign
the statement. What reason do I put down?
I don't sign anything.
That's my rule.
I won't believe it until
I hear it myself.
Nobel Committee has awarded
Nobel Peace Prize to Lech Walesa...
Congratulations!
The Nobel Committee has decided
to award Lech Walesa...
Yes, we're very pleased.
...yet again supporting
a confrontational game
this time against Poland
and against socialism.
Tiny article. Small print.
Right. Let me hand him the phone.
Someone from the Norwegian embassy.
No, my decision is final.
I can't, because they won't let me
back into the country when I return.
Danuta will go.
That's my wife.
That's the best solution.
Thank you. Have a nice day, too.
It'll be OK.
OSLO:
10 DECEMBER, 1983
Your Majesty, Your Excellencies,
distinguished representatives
of the Norwegian Nation.
You know why I can't be here
to receive the honorable prize.
- Something to declare?
- The Nobel Prize and a medal.
- And my son's new skis.
- Money? Fur? Silver? Gold?
Are you looking for money?
I left everything in Oslo.
The chatty lady will go through
a personal inspection.
Halina?
Please follow my colleague.
Are you free? Let's go.
This is a personal inspection
according to the Polish customs law.
Do you have anything on you
that you haven't declared?
- No. Nothing.
- Empty your pockets.
Dad, when will Mom come?
In a minute.
- Is that it?
- Take off your underwear.
Panties.
Crouch please.
She's coming!
Mums
coming!
What took you so long?
Personal inspection.
Lech, take the suitcase.
I thought we'd go
to Jasna Gora Sanctuary.
We'll thank the Black Madonna,
leave the medal as a votive offering.
Why do you want me to tell you
all this? I have a headache.
I do, too.
The nation is ready to blow up
like a bomb.
I know how to stop it.
The point is to go against the crowd.
Patiently.
Last question:
you said, whenthe communist government falls,
Solidarity' will take over and you
should take control of everything.
Yes, I did say that.
So you were not joking.
Do you think you're capable of that?
Yes, I believe I am.
Do you believe the communist party
in this country would accept that?
Would they have any other choice
if the government fell?
But this is what I say today.
Tomorrow - we'll see.
Your brothers and allies?
That's exactly the problem.
That's why I think we're discussing
an unrealistic, fantastical possibility.
Thank you, Lech.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart
It has been a pleasure talking to you.
Despite the headaches you gave me.
Good luck, Lech.
Solidarity! Solidarity!
