Warsaw '44 Page #4

---

May I have this dance, miss?

As soon as it's possible,

we'll get out of the city.

I've been asking around.

We'll run as far away as we can

and nothing will split us up.

Just you and me.

That's the most important thing,

for the two of us to

survive, isn't it?

I want to continue living for you.

Ladybird!

Come on, you gotta help me.

- Where's Stefan?

- No idea!

They're attacking now the city centre!

You haven't seen Stefan?

Have you seen Stefan?

The wounded one?

I saw him talk to the insurgents

who got married yesterday.

Nah, he wasn't there.

I saw him carrying the wounded.

He carried nobody,

he wasn't here at all.

- What?

- Just kidding. I don't know him.

He was with the

Group "Radoslaw".

I think they went to Czerniakow.

You won't get

there without a pass.

So why do want to get there?

To your brother?

Can't he manage on his own?

Get undressed.

Excuse me!

Back to your mummy!

Stop!

- I have a pass...

- Me too!

Stand back, now!

The line is closed.

Stop! I told you, kid!

Are you deaf?!

- But I've got letters to deliver!

- No way!

Get out of here!

No pass!

Tanks! Russians!

Stop!!!

The Germans have blown up the bridge!

They've cut us off.

No passage!

What are you doing here?

To the basement!

The line's closed.

I don't care about your pass!

To the basement!

Where are the guys from the centre?

I'm looking for my brother.

No idea, really.

When Russians see a woman...

No place in here.

This is great.

Straight from my uncle in Karczew.

Coffee from Kama!

Poles!

You stupid Poles!

God damn Poles!

We don't kill prisoners,

Mister German!

See?

It's because of you guys

that I can't stroke my sweetheart.

You can stroke all right,

you just can't strangle.

Haven't you seen a German?

We'll exterminate you.

Every single one of you.

No one will help you.

Stupid Poles, no one gives a damn!

Such a good looking guy

with a foul tongue.

Captain...

My men are at your service.

These children?

It's good they're not retired, right?

These are Berling's men.

They're going with us

to take No 1 Wilanowska Street,

reach the river.

No one's gonna help you,

no one will miss you.

Follow them, dismissed!

Don't let yourselves get killed!

Leave this scrap here.

Take this.

They say the Russians

have crossed the river!

What Russians! It's Poles.

General Berling's people.

Berling is a traitor.

A deserter who joined the Russians.

Who knows what he's actually done.

So cut that crap!

How could they help?

A bunch of country boys!

Can't you calm your kid down, lady?

God almighty!

May these be Russians.

Let's just get out and surrender.

We'll walk out with the little one...

It's the Russians, I think.

We've made it!

God, save me!

Next basement!

What are you doing?

The child!

A small baby!

Something's wrong with it.

To the hospital!

It's over there!

Can anyone come here?

- Can you please have a look?

- Can't you see I'm busy?

Doctor...

- Doctor!

- You need to wait.

- Look at this kid, this instant!

- Sister!

You think you're the priority?

It's only me here,

I haven't slept in a week,

I have some students to assist me,

all of them passing out all the time.

Lusia!

This kid is dead!

Your daughter?

Right...

Some water?

People!

Please help him!

He's just a kid!

Excuse me!

Pass it, please?

They're hiding

in the upstairs windows.

At your orders.

The bastards are playing tango!

Get ready to move!

Patrol, follow me!

It's such a pity - such a beautiful town.

Your first time in Warsaw?

First time in any city.

But wherever you are you

fight the same way.

- And how is that?

- The Polish way.

No wonder your uprising

is going nowhere.

Go back, guys, you

don't know the area.

You've never seen a real battle.

- Detail!

- It's different fighting in a city!

Stay there! Stay!

Don't lean out!

Stay there!

I said stay!

I got hit!

Mum! Help me!

Don't leave me, guys!

Don't leave me!

Stop!

Cover him!

Let's regroup!

To the gate!

Rogal!

Give me a hand!

Let's take him.

Sh*t, thank you very much

for such help!

He got shot in the heart.

We're pretty good

at getting killed ourselves!

Goral, the scouts!

Be prepared! We can't pass.

We'll wait till night

in this house.

Gentlemen, get back!

At dawn we'll go

through the basements.

Take him!

What are you doing?

The VIS is mine.

I'm not armed.

A long time ago

over a hill and far away

there was a town.

In this town there lived a boy.

He had a family,

he had many friends.

Clear!

They played together.

They danced, went for walks,

they learned together.

One day

a bad king who wanted

to rule the whole world

invaded their country

and said:

"I forbid you everything!

I forbid you to play,

I forbid you to learn,

You're not allowed to do anything!"

But he couldn't forbid them

to do one thing.

To dream about the day

when they will regain their freedom.

Get packed.

- Get the boys.

- Now?

- What's happening?

- So much for our help!

They said they'd prepare 100 dinghies,

twenty people each.

But only for the soldiers.

You help me get there.

Don't be sad.

It breaks my heart.

Ladybird,

run to the HQ,

there must be some wounded there.

I'll stay with this man.

Poles!

The Russians and the Allies

have deserted you.

You have proven your valour!

End this futile uprising

and surrender.

Following General von dem Bach's order,

nobody who surrenders will be harmed

in any way.

This applies both to your soldiers

and civilians.

We promise this to you.

The German troops in Czerniakow

from noon until 1

will cease fire

so that those not fighting

and the wounded in hospitals

have a chance to safely leave the town.

It is up to you, members of the Home Army,

whether you choose to cease fire

to save your own Polish blood.

If you put down your arms

we guarantee you your

life, work and bread.

Citizens presenting

white scarves,

I repeat, white scarves,

may leave the endangered areas

and head for safety

with German troops.

Otherwise our troops

will be forced to destroy you,

which will lead to

a large number of casualties.

Have mercy on the

city's inhabitants.

You have mercy, bastards!

They're sending envoys.

But now?!

Wonder what for?

I solemnly swear

I solemnly swear to you

that I'll kill anyone

who mentions

the word "surrender".

Got it?

Let us evacuate the hospital.

We have no personnel, nor space.

Go back to the hospital, miss...

There are children

dying of thirst!

Evacuate where?

They're going to kill us all,

can't you get it?

- To the other side.

- How, on a bicycle?

Dinghies.

- Please.

- Please leave!

Commander...

Nobody here wants to surrender.

Let the hospital evacuate.

We're staying here to the end.

The cease-fire ends in two minutes!

Hurry up, people!

There's no more time.

Let the wounded through.

I feel sorry for you boys.

They've knocked down the whole city.

Stop pushing.

Hurry up, people!

Cease-fire's about to end.

Our people, back to the quarters!
