Brady's Escape (1983) - full transcript

Brady is an airman shot down during World War II over the Hungarian Plateau who is hidden by the local people. They are ranchers, occupied by the Germans who speak very little English, thus most of the film is communicated by action. Brady and a boy from the village try to go by horseback across country and avoid the German patrols long enough to reach neutral territory.

Aranka, come on over...

Aranka...

Is there something wrong?

Are you hurt?

You have already jumped this
creek many times before, Aranka...

What's wrong?

Aranka, come over...

You can do it!

Granpa! Quick!



Come quick!

Granpa! Come quick!

Granpa!

She just went down...

Is she dying?

Yes.

She is over thirty years old.

We've come a long way.

You are gonna do it, ain't you?

Yes.

She has been in pain...
day in - day out...

How do you know? Did she tell
you something?

Yeah... She told me.

She is mine. You gave her to me.



I gave you her.

No, come on...

You are thirteen years old.

You wanna be a rancher?

Do I see a lot of blubber and tears?

I won't let you do it!

Go on!...

Hop on the the top of that one
right now...

It's just a private matter between me
and my old friend.

- Go on!
- 'Szeretlek' Aranka.

What is it old lady?

Come on, get up just
one more time.

Just one more time...

I gotta do it...

- I can not hold it,
she is fallin' away.
- Peter calls out...

- Tom told us to get out!
- Yes. He, you, me...

That's what I said!

Take it. Peter was dead.

Shit!

See you on the ground.

Do you have any idea where we are?

Fifteen minutes east of Budapest.

Brady... I am hurt... bad...

Is he English or American?

Does it matter? They are
bombing us!

Shitheads!

Doctor!

Doctor!

Go to Debrecen!

Bring the doctor with you!

- Your men have found those
parachuters yet?
- Not yet.

Well, I thought you are a specialist.
What's wrong, Wortman?

We know what to do, Strauss.

You are in Security. Why don't you
go and check the road to Debrecen?

You'll have their blood, Wortman.

I give you my word.

Bomber? Boum-Boum!

I am an American.

- Cowboy...
- Oh, yeah...

My name is Dr. Dushek.

I am Captain Brady
US Air Forces...

This is my friend, Lt. Benson.

Excuse me, my English is very bad...

I do not really know
where we are.

You are in Hungary, this place
is called Hortobagy...

It is the largest plain of Europe.

Villages are very distant.

The Germans are our allies.

You are allies?

But we are occupied.
Do you understand?

Leave him, please...

I addressed his wound,
and I gave him morphine...

Go out, please. (Go out
with him!)

My friend in there,
what do you think?

How do you think
he is gonna do?

He will die unless we
can get him to a place where
he can be cared for...

Do you think he will live?

I am not sure...

But my father and I will
try everything...

How is it going, Sweet?.

The pain's gone...

It doesn't look good, Brady!

Here, eat!

No, my boy...

Don't do that!

Out!

Line up!

Ready the weapons!

Search everywhere!

Tell him to let the dogs out!

Let the dogs out!

I would be happy to do so...

...but these are Kuvasz dogs

...they will kill straight away!

He said they are too dangerous.
They are killers.

Go back!

Watch out for horses...
Move back!

Nix Germans. They left.

He looked at you, father!
I can still feel that he is watching us.
Cut through the field!

- Stop. Stop.
- Whoa...

I think he is dead.

You must return to the horse ranch.

The horsemen will hide you until
we can arrange an escape for you
from Debrecen.

- Are you doing this for me?..
- Yes.

Why?

You are in trouble...

And you need help...

And what is Debrecen?

It's the nearest large town.

If I can just get close to
the Russian lines...

No, no. Escape must be
carefully planned.

Please believe me and trust us.

You will need papers.

And you must learn some Hungarian.

Now, that will be a task, won't it?

My daughter is a teacher. She will help you.

That part I like.

If you are gonna be my teacher,
you might just as call me J. W. Brady.

Take it.

How do I say "Thank you?"

"Koszonom"

"Koszonom"

She will be your friend forever.

From today, you will ride her..

Thank you.

Not bad, American.

Now, go!

- I see a horse.
- 'Latom a lovat.'

OK... The horse is beautiful.

'A lo szep.'

Okay, now once again, please.

- 'Latom a lovat.'

'A lo szep.'

The cow is fat.

'Tehen kover'...

Kover.

'A lo szep. Tehen kover'...

Hey, girlfriend... Aranka...

Come here!

Hey, American!

Well, let's...

- American...
- You want me?

Okay.

Now...

Just do not understand?
There is no girth on this thing!

No, you're not a cowboy.
I am a cowboy!

In Wyoming we have a way
to deal with guys like you.

You just grab them,
turn them upside down...
and shake their brains out!

Ha-ha! Let me go, cowboy!

Lay down!.

Lay down!.

That's it.

Lay down!

Lay down!

Stay down...

Good job, Brady!

Where are you going?

Why are you going this way?

I hope he wasn't rude?

No.

Good, I am glad.

We were just on our way to...

Please. I am not your
interrogator.

I am only concerned for
your safety.

Do you understand?

Yes...

We're late...

Let us go...

Please...

Have a safe journey.

Excuse me, what time is it?

Exactly one.

- One o'clock. 'Egy ?ra'
- Very good.

- 'koszonom szepen.'
- Miss Klara,

English...

- Listen...
- Yes?

- Brady...

Well... good back-horse...

Horse back!

Brady, Mickey...

A long ride on... Hortobagy...

Talk... Wyoming...

Very good place......

- ... I like.
- (Very good, Mikey.)

It's very good, but I am
supposed to be the student.

So why don't you just go out,
and water the horses?

A student?.. The student...
Go water horses, Brady...

Come on, get out...

Darn kid!

Nah... Ha, cowboy-song...

- Oh, Susannah!...
- Out!...

I am sorry, he is just a kid,
you know...

I must get back...

I have something to tell you, Brady...

I may be observed...

Not quite sure, but I think it is
best to come at night.

This farm is no longer safe.

You must change your hiding place!

If there is any worries for you,
I don't want you to come back...

I will manage.

I will send you a message...

Halt!

Come on...

Get going...

Move, I say!

Bring them out!

Safrany Gergely.

Old man...

I want you to look at him.

This is a Russian pilot.

He was a pilot...

We found him hiding
in the old man's barn.

You'd better be careful,
old hairy one...

I have another dog, still.

Next!

From Miss Clara?...

She says she want us to meet
in a little village called Ohar.

- You know where that is?
- (Yes).

- What else?
- She said we should come tonight.

Last night it rained.

'Mult ejjel esett az eso.'

- 'Mult'...
- 'Mult'...

'Mult... ejjel,... esett'

'Esett'...

- 'Az eso'...
- 'Az eso'...

'Mult ejjel esett az eso?.'

- 'Mult'...
- No, 'Mult, muuu'...

'Mu', like a cow...

- 'Mult'...?
- Yes.

'Mult... ejjel... esett...'

'Az eso'...

'How far is the town?'

'Milyen messze van a v?ros?'

'Milyen... messze... van a varos'...

- 'Milyen messze van a varos?'
- 'Milyen messze van a varos?'

He is a liar!

Search every single farm!

I want you to know - my instincts
are better than all your soldiers!

Let's go!

Come on, come on, come on...

Come on, come on.

Come to me...

Come to me...

- She runs pretty fast!
- Aranka likes you, Brady.

What if she is just afraid?

No, no... She wants to play.

I have never seen anything like it.

Brady...

What's it like?

In America?..

Tell me...

Well...

It's a wide country.

One, two, three ranges long.

And how far on horse?

About a whole summer ride.

That is far.

It is decorated with...

Hard wood and pines on the top and,

and you go down south - and you got like
coconuts and palms...

And you move a bit and

there is a big river - the Mississippi.

- Mississippi?
- Yes, close enough...

Cross that, move further to the west...

You hit the plains, like the Hortob?gy...

And you ride and ride and ride...

Until you get to the canyons...

Somewhere mile-deep...

And you go up to the mountains...
Mountains so high...

There is snow on top all year.

And then you go up, to the Garden Spa
of the Wood.

- Green River, Wyoming.
- Wyoming?

Wyoming.

And they got, the grass to feed
your cattle, your horses...

water... calme.

surrounded by mountains.

And its peaceful there.

No Nazis? No bombs?

No.

That's where I wanna live in the long run.

I go to Wyoming.

Yeah... You would be
my ranch-hand!

- I will go with you.
- And how would your family
feel about that?

- Family?
- Yeah, your father and your mother.

No family...

Father in Russia...

Mom died in the bombing.

Well, who raised you?

Csorba... Moro...

Csege and all the others.

We are just a couple of cowboys,
you and me.

Okay... cowboy.

Yeah.

Teacher doesn't look happy.

Lessons are over.

It's time to say "goodbye."

You will leave for Tokaj tomorrow.

It has been arranged... four men will
take you past to the Russians.

And there to look
for a man.

- ...called Istvan Varju.
- Tomorrow?

Yes.

- No more lessons?
- No.

Are you not glad?

Yeah.

I'm going.

Yes and no...

Yes and no...

From Aranka's mane,

It's a work of art...

It's beautiful.

- You made it?
- Yep.

An indian bracelet.

Dear Brady, stay here.

I'll come back.

Yes... I believe...

You'll find me...

I have bad news. The Germans
blocked every ways out.

The professor says, that the Germans
are close...

And they had blocked all the passes.

They have mobilized great forces.
It is impossible to get through to
the Russians.

You cannot get to the Russians.

My advice is not to try crossing now.

Then can we just spend here
some hours tonight?

I am very sorry about that, but
you can try to go towards the south.

He says that he is sorry...

but there is another way.

- Another way?
- To the south.

The German control is not so bad
on the south, although it is still risky
of course

Trust yourself! You are the friend
of Dr. Dusek!

We have a radio transmitter!

There is a radio transmitter.

In one of the cellars.

I use the Morse-code to reach a man
in Zombor. He has connections to
the partisans of Tito.

He says he can...

contact you with

Tito's partisans.

And they will get you to Yugoslavia.

If you can cross the river at Szeged
you are a free man!

If you cross the river at Szeged

you are free.

"Tell me, Mary-Anne
want to be my wife?

I'll give you a little bit of...
For the rest of all your life.

No, go away, nasty man...

Please don't treat me so...

I gave you a little bit of...
half an hour ago... "

There is still a long way
for you to go.

I hope that riding
will sober him up.

You will get papers
from the doctor.

He must get to Szeged by train.

Klara will travel with him
as his wife.

A man will be waiting on
the other side of the Tisza.

He will be carrying a birdcage.

He'll take him to the partisans, but
he must get there within a week.

They will wait for him
every day for a week.

That's the only way.

Did you see the paratroopers?

I was out there with the herd...

I didn't see anyone. There are
no strangers there.

What's going on?

He says: "He remembers the plane falling
but he has seen no parachuters."

I dont think these people will be
of much help.

We are going to find them!

Klara

Tomorrow morning.

At the train station.

Klara tomorrow morning at the train
station.

Me and Aranka we come
to see you off.

It is too dangerous.

It does not matter.

- Hey, you're next!
- Me?

Yeah.

Mikl?s, too...

Two to Szeged.

Good Day, my lady!

Guard him closely!

- Which is the American?
- That one.

You go back. Tell her, you managed
to get time for me to leave.

Now.

Now!

Go on!

That'll be good.

Let's continue, doctor...

I do not know this Brady.
I don't know where he is.

Once I was called to the Puszta...

to see a horseman, but
his name was not Brad...

And you?

I was just waiting for my brother
at the station.

He was just waiting for his brother...

at the station.

The doctor asked me to bring
the messages.

Csorba and the horsemen hid
the American.

Brady is out on the Puszta.

I will bring Captain Brady here
within 24 hours.

You will all meet in front of
the firing squad.

Captain Brady!

I have a message...

from the Doctor.

Good news to Brady.

From the doctor.

I have a message
from the doctor!

Aranka...

Aranka...

It's over, Captain Brady!

You bombed Dresden.

My mother and sister died killed there.

I going to kill every American pilots
I can lay my hands on.

You won't escape, Brady!

I will be back before dark
with my men.

Ride, Aranka...

That's the way. You go!

You go...

Look, Aranka!

Something must have happened
with Brady. Let's go!

Aranka...

She's found you, by God!

She's found me!

Brady, what happened? Are you all right?

The bullet went through.
You are a lucky man!

He won't wait till morning
He'll come back.

- We have to get off the Hortobagy.
- Right!... you must go!

- I will go, too!
- This is a war!

- And it's dangerous.
- I am a man!

I'm going with you to Yugoslavia, and Wyoming

Good job, Aranka!

Damn!

Lock it up! We have a long day ahead.

To Szeged?

Yeah, we gotta cross
that wild river.

And then Yugoslavia...

If we are fortunate
even further to Italy...

- Then Wyoming?
- Aha.

What happenes if they won't let
Hungarian kids into Italy?

Then I will have to talk to...

- ... ranch boss.
- Who is that?

Mark Clark, the General.

I will have to say, "General,

I know that kid...

deserves a medal...

Nah...

- They don't give medals to kids.
- You don't think so? Stand up!

Stand in attention!

And put your hands to your side.

In the name of America's Aerial Force...

I present this medal of honor
to Mikl?s Kiss for saving the life of
his comrad.

Presented on field by Captain James W. Brady, U.S. Air Force.

- Is this real?
- Yep.

The ceremony is over!

Come on! Let's get the stuff together!

The Germans are coming!

Come on!

Ride them over!

The Hungarians are retreating
and looking for soldiers.

Don't wait here, come with me.

- Are you herdsmen?
- Yes.

The Russians have crossed
the border.

There is fighting up north.

Give it to me!

Take it!

Aranka!

Aranka!

Aranka, you didn't think we'd be
coming for you, did you?

Wait here! And I will look.

Do you have a match?

We are leaving with the horses.
Everything is alright?

Yes.

It's damned cold here!

- Are you there alone, Mickey?
- Yes, Brady.

- You all right?
- (Fine.)

The Germans are all over the bridge.

You take Aranka, and I'll follow.

Stop!

Stop!

Stop!

Hang in there, boy!
We gotta find that place to cross!

That's all. These escaped.

Mickey! Mickey...!

Oh, God!

Damn it, Mickey!
We are almost there!

We are almost there!

Where is the man with the bird cage?

This way.

I got hit.

I know.

There is nothing wrong, Brady!

Put me down, I can make it!

You'll be cracking wild Wyoming horses
before you know it.

Is that the guy? I can hear him.

He can't find us.

Anyway, damn!

I'll take a rest.

- Brady...
- Yeah?

You - go...

I stay.

A man with a bird cage...

is waiting...

No, I couldn't leave you!

We are cowboys, remember?

You and me - buckhands.

Wyoming friends...

"Going up on Criple Creek..."

"Going on the run"

"Going up on Criple Creek..."

"And I'll have a lot of fun"

"Oh, Susanna, don't you cry for me..."

Aranka...

She is on the crossing.

You see, Mikey?..
I told you we'd make it.

Mickey...

Mickey... stay with me...

Mickey... stay with me...
