POLISH ROADS
Episode 3
Please.
Good morning.
Good morning. Wait a minute.
Please come in. Please.
Good day.
Please kindly. Here you are.
Please. Portrait?
Yes, please.
Coat?
No thank you.
Wait a minute.
Thank you.
Wait a minute.
Sorry, sir.
Excuse me?
Who is this man whose portrait
is hanging in the display case?
I don't know who
you are talking about.
One is Eugeniusz Bodo
when he was in Krakow.
Maybe yes?
I know Eugene Bodo.
And the other one is Leon Wyrwicz.
Every child knows him.
Of course.
I ask the young one about it. Who is this?
Oh, this one. Client.
He ordered a photo for evidence.
It's very photogenic so
we took a zoom to the site.
Do you like it? Great idea.
What is his address?
I don't know.
When did he take the photo?
A few days ago. I will check.
Please check the address.
Not provided.
How did he not give it?
Address, fast!
I honestly say. I don't know.
I can check. Here you are.
You are bad at bookkeeping.
But I am an excellent bookmaker.
Here you are. The photo was
taken the day before yesterday.
Pickup today.
Receive today?
Yes. Wait a minute.
Yes, it's even ready. Please.
No photo yet you
have not done so well.
Last name?
I don't know.
The client does not need to provide a
surname. It has a number on the receipt.
I'm asking for your name.
Tadeusz Białas.
You may be in big trouble,
Mr. Białas.
You're concealing the criminal.
But I really don't know.
I am a loyal citizen.
I follow all orders. You don't
think you read them thoroughly.
There is a severe penalty
for hiding wanted persons.
But this is an ordinary customer.
Even I didn't operate it.
Who?
A daughter.
This is her friend?
This was the first time she saw him.
Daughter's name?
Barbara, but...
Where is she now?
At home.
You mean where?
Stradomska 20.
But what does she know?
We'll see.
There is no Stradomska Street.
You were thinking of Kommandantur.
Yes, of course. Sorry.
Number?
20.
Receipt number?
38.
Are you sure you want to pick up today?
Yes. It says urgent.
Very good.
Everyone is in a hurry today.
What time do you close your bet?
At six.
Are you a believer, Mr. Białas?
Yes.
If I were you, I would pray
to get this client
to come today.
Otherwise, you won't sleep at home.
Not your daughter.
Do you have something to read?
Yes. Of course.
Here you are.
I'll wait for him.
Are you in a hurry?
I've made an appointment.
With Mr. Roman?
Do you have something against that?
I? Not at all.
The professor is not coming
back for a long time. Exactly.
I was listening to London today.
Where?
Doesn't matter.
Not a word about the
arrest of the professors.
It is significant and optimistic.
I don't understand.
Jagiellonka is a powerful university.
The scientific world will stand up for her.
This action is a thoughtless
act of a local policeman.
Berlin realised this blunder. Now
they are negotiating with governments.
The Germans will release them. They
don't want the world to know about it.
Mr. Roman is a trader?
Why are you mocking?
Sorry. What about the front?
Calm down for now.
But according to Roman, only apparent.
What about London?
Germany's allies are doing nothing.
Where are the Italians?
If the king abdicates in favour
of the prince of Piedmont,
he is such a Francophile that the
balance of power will reverse.
What, mother?
In Montelupich there are crowds
like in Szczepański Square.
All women.
You can see how many
of them are in prison.
Calm down. There are too many of
them there. They have to let them go.
If it were only the father,
it would be much worse.
- Believe me.
- Maybe you're right.
Mother, I have to go out for a while.
I'll be back soon. I apologise you.
Everything will be fine, really.
I'm leaving too.
I need to pick up the photos.
Are you both going out?
Will you leave me all alone?
Maybe you will stay with your
mother and I will pick up these photos?
Thank you. I'll give you a number.
Here you go.
Thank you.
- Sorry, mother.
- Thank you, Mr. Władek.
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
- I wanted to pick up the photos.
- A number, please. Thank you.
Eleven.
He should be ready by now. Wait a minute.
Still in the darkroom, I guess.
Wait a minute. I will check.
This is! I knew they were ready.
We always meet the deadline.
Wait a minute, I'll just
note that number 11 is done.
- Thank you very much.
We recommend ourselves.
- Thank you. Goodbye.
Professor Gleybnitz has
just arrived from Berlin.
Let the gentlemen sit down.
I am glad that you are not
accepting me as your enemy.
Two months ago, this young
man would have shot me.
Today we sit opposite
each other and talk.
Emotions pass. Time for reason.
Yes, thank you.
It is regrettable that we
meet in such circumstances.
I am the enemy of violence and strength.
But unfortunately we know how
little historical arguments count with the
views of gray people like us.
Historical reasons? Whose?
The professor speaks
completely different than others.
It gives me hope.
I would very much like
it to be my hope as well.
I'll do my best.
When I found out about this
internment of the professor,
I had already taken some steps.
I believed it would be so.
Do you remember
our last meeting?
- Nothing foreshadowed this storm.
- That's true.
Luxor, the shadows of the ruins,
the Nile...
The guide on the boat explained
to us what the temple of Amun was.
And yet it was us - the professor and
I - who discovered two frescoes there.
- How many years, my God...
- As many as roses.
Ah, that's why!
The professor and his
colleagues were taken hostage.
I was told it was before
some public holiday.
Yes. November 11.
What was that?
Józef Piłsudski was released
from the German prison that day.
Later became Governor of State.
I see.
Yes, Piłsudski...
We respect the memory of this man.
In the governor's castle, our soldiers
stand guard in front of his grave.
At the Wawel Castle.
That was the name?
That's it. Oh. I see.
So hostages.
It's a brutal habit, I admit.
But no other guarantees
have yet been invented in wars.
Do you think after some time...?
- Of course.
- Thank you. Thank you very much.
I'm sorry I can't
give you any more.
You treat me with memories
of the good old days.
This is already a feast.
What has the professor
been working on lately?
He's not finished work,
but it will be a revelation.
Still the Abbasid dynasty?
- No. This time the Fatimids.
Well well!
He entered my backyard!
And here it is talking
about our occupation.
What is it?
In April, they brought the remains
of a pylon with their daughter.
- No! It is impossible! This is not there!
- He's in my husband's office.
- I must see this.
- I'll show you.
Another solution comes to mind.
It would be the simplest.
- Do you think about the Karol case?
- Just about that. Yes.
Now I remember.
Once upon a time... I think it was
at a convention in San Sebastian.
- You were there too?
- I always went with my husband.
The professor mentioned that his
great-grandfather
was called Sidglitz.
But this was not Karol's great-grandfather.
Sidglitz settled here
in the 16th century.
- He acquired mercantile rights.
- But Sidglitz?
Only him. His son took
the surname Zygadlewicz.
- But you have a memory!
- It's not about memory.
- It's about the chance.
- I don't understand.
The professor could
declare German nationality.
But why?
I don't think Karol would
decide to do anything like that.
Why? After all, I am not
proposing that he become a Jew.
Please don't get me wrong.
I am not a racist.
The terms: German, Pole,
Norwegian, French
are an anachronism.
Only Europe will
count in the future.
I don't belong to the party. They don't
understand who Adolf Hitler really is.
The world of thought
with the concepts of today.
I need slogans.
But Hitler thinks in
terms beyond the epoch.
He was ahead of his time.
The world may
consider him a criminal.
Today, beating Jews, wars,
camps, etc. are considered crimes.
But who will ever remember that?
Would you please throw a
stone at the slave overseer today?
After all, the pyramids have
survived to this day and were
the beginning of civilization.
Sorry, I'll go see
what about Justyna.
Unfortunately,
everything that is most
beautiful grows most
luxuriantly on dung.
These botanical regularities
also apply to history.
Excuse me.
I couldn't listen to this any more.
Hush... Let him talk.
He's worse than the gendarmes.
What are you saying too, Mr. Władek?
It wasn't until he took
away my last hope.
The professor assured me
that passive resistance
is enough to survive.
But that's not true.
I don't know.
If only he could help my husband.
- Are you Władek?
- This is. Mr. Władek.
Please. The Gestapo is
at the photographer's.
What did he give me here?
He's crazy. Please see.
Actually.
I'll go alone.
Wait a minute!
There is something written here.
"They're looking for you.
Absolutely not come to me.
Please warn my daughter.
Let him leave the
apartment immediately."
Was the Gestapo there for sure?
I think so.
What's the name of this photographer?
Białas.
Do you have a phone book?
It's here.
Sorry.
Please. Come on in, Marysia.
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
We drink the baby's health.
Today is his holiday.
Mr. Boss, let's take a picture of him.
Yes. Please. Please,
gentlemen, please.
- Shall we drink?
- No thank you. Please come in.
- Sit down, Marysia.
- Please, I serve the state.
Would you like a group photo or
a small photo with the godmother?
Me with my godson.
He is the most important here.
A boy or a girl?
You can see that the peasant.
His name is Władysław.
Like the one from France
who pisses the stuff.
This one is pouring over there,
and this one is pouring on them here.
- He's a patriotic child.
- That doesn't belong.
How does it not belong?
What was it supposed to be called?
Adolf? For me to shit myself out of fear?
Cry baby Be quiet...
Stop it for today.
The child is upset.
We have to get out of here.
We'll come another time.
Come on. Don't look back.
I'm listening to you.
I took pictures of you with my dog.
He is very photogenic.
- They were supposed to be for today.
- A number, please.
Ticket? I'll look for it soon.
Not here...
But I definitely know
it was number eleven.
I can not find.
Maybe you will be kind?
I will check it right away.
I'm sorry, sir. You mean
my photos aren't ready?
Moment!
You recently released eleven.
No, no!
Only this gentleman...
Let me give it to the client.
No! What was that number?
I don't remember.
Don't you remember?
Won!
Now let's play jigsaw puzzles.
Have you ever had such bricks? What?
If necessary, put
together with language.
Fold.
Who is that girl?
I don't know. I must have been wrong.
Hello.
Are you?
We don't accept at home.
I have a letter for Mrs.
You couldn't think
of anything better?
From my father.
The resemblance is small,
but the smile is the same.
Please read the
on the second page.
Please.
What happened?
I don't know. There is
a Gestapo in the facility.
What should I do?
Change the address.
What for?
My father writes like that.
Do you have anywhere to go?
Maybe to your uncle... What do you think?
I don't know. I don't know him.
Sorry. I have to go.
In a second. Please sit down.
I have to think.
Hurry up, lady.
Now you can take your time.
Is there a second exit somewhere?
No.
Do something. It's Germany.
Mrs. Basia! Mrs. Basia!
The language seems to be similar to Polish.
Mrs. Basia, daddy has been arrested.
You must run away immediately.
Have you heard?
Why? What is he guilty of?
Every Pole is to blame for them.
Get your coat. We go.
Where?
Uncle.
What can I do about it?
My squad does not leave until 19:05.
- When's your uncle coming back?
- Tomorrow evening.
Maybe my father will be released.
You can't sleep at home.
You have the keys here. The upper
one jams. You need the handle up.
Are you going to Bielsko?
It's already Reich.
They let us in yet.
It is not known how long.
Go, Baśka.
The curfew is coming soon.
Do you live far?
Market wheel.
You won't make it.
What about the lady?
She takes two steps. It's close.
We'll manage.
Goodbye sir.
Lord! Wait a minute.
She's a decent girl. Mister won't
make it home. Do you understand?
I see. Thank you.
What did your uncle want from you?
From me?
Yes. When he was leaving,
he told you something.
Don't let me rape you.
Your humour doesn't leave you.
What am I supposed to do?
I don't know.
A very nice picture.
I recognise your hand.
I did not. Father.
I'm sorry.
Have you seen your portrait?
What?
On display. I took a magnification.
For a face like that,
it turned out pretty well.
Ah yes.
Still hanging there?
I hope so.
That's nice.
What's the matter?
Did you make it up yourself or your father?
Sam.
Do you think they might
have taken him somewhere?
I do not know.
Good thing you were doing the print.
Maybe no one will recognise me.
Are the Germans looking for you?
I think so.
For what?
I don't know.
How is that?
I don't want to wonder.
If they catch me, I'll ask.
You pretend to be brave.
Yes, then I'm less afraid.
Because of you, they arrested my father!
Calm down.
If it weren't for your idea
decorating an exhibition...
I don't know, if that
was what I meant.
What did they arrest him for?
I don't know.
I don't know I don't know!
What can they do to him?
Is this my portrait big?
Yes. Quite big.
It turned out stupid.
You put it mildly.
Actually, who are you?
Let me introduce myself.
Władysław Niwiński. Good evening.
Where did you come from?
Good evening.
It was you who hung me up.
Listen up.
Lie down. Get some rest.
What?
I have to think a bit. Go to sleep.
I can't sleep.
If you walk around here,
I will get angry and rape you.
I promise you good things.
Good night.
Look over there. On the first floor.
Where are the flowers?
No. Cucumbers.
Oh my.What happened?
I didn't put in the dill. I will go there.
Please wait. I don't like
cucumbers anyway. Come on.
Wait here. I will look around.
Tadek!
Tadeusz!
What are you saying?
Tadeusz Miszczyk.
Does that tell you nothing?
Always looking in
someone else's pockets?
Make sure your pockets are
empty when hanging your pants.
I will apply.
You can put things into cubes.
You can do it for sure.
There were once great Napoleons here.
I don't like sweets.
These are not my documents.
Where did you get them?
This man doesn't need them,
and I can use them.
What has become of him?
His problem was solved by these gentlemen.
You're not sitting yet?
The Germans waited all night for you.
They left five minutes ago.
They left such a seal on the door!
- We'll go.
- I would go.
Who are you really?
I already told you.
As you believe.
You can say or not.
But this is about Białas.
How can we help
him if we don't even
know what they
are accusing him of?
First they kept him on Montelupich.
Today he is in Płaszów.
This is a serious matter.
The search in the
apartment lasted until dawn.
They asked all tenants about Baśkę.
That is why I ask: what is it all about?
I really don't know.
They are murderers.
I met them in Spain.
It all depends on you.
I do not know.
I feel a bit guilty about it,
though I didn't commit it.
Mr. White does not
hide his regret from me.
I don't really know
what's going on.
Are you surprised?
Man is only man.
And this is his brother.
I spoke to my comrades today.
They say you should
go to the Gestapo.
It won't help. They will have
both of them. I know them.
Józek, take the regret out of
your heart. The times are like this.
Man owes nothing.
I wish you were honest with us.
We will hide Basia.
He will be gone today.
We could hide you too.
But I don't want to.
I'm fed up. We have to fight.
Otherwise they will crush us all.
Do you want to fight yourself?
Now I don't care.
It is not all the same. Mister
is right that you have to fight.
But it doesn't matter
if you are alone.
And it doesn't matter with
whom to join the partnership.
We don't have much choice.
But no matter what happens,
we are not alone.
An army is rising in France.
Sikorski is creating a new government.
But is it really new?
I would have to learn a
lesson from this September.
But this is great politics.
Meanwhile, a little
photographer in prison.
In fact, we're standing still.
Time.
Will you go with me?
Where to?
To my family.
Unfortunately, I can't.
This is the most
peaceful place on earth.
The world is boarded up with boards.
Not. Thank you, sir.
Understand, Basia.
I really can't.
Then go away!
What have you done, man?
And so I asked you.
Be careful!
Like glass! It is 500 years old.
Yes.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
500 years.
They rob that way every day.
You are! You did not let
yourself know for a long time.
I suspected the worst.
What was the matter with you?
What was going on here?
There was a search yesterday evening.
They asked for me?
About sir?
No. Why?
They said that there was a hidden
weapon here, that Karol testified
so during the investigation.
The professor's weapon?
Nonsense! That's an excuse.
They took almost
everything from his office.
Even the last manuscript.
A wonderful work.
And they took the pylon.
And Professor Gleybnitz?
He sent me this.
An invitation to a concert?
Yes.
The Vienna Philharmonic has arrived.
The professor wants me to go with him.
This Gleybnitz...
I know that showing up in
the company of a German is...
But only he can help Karol.
I'll get it.
Fine.
General clean up?
Good day. If I am disturbing...
There was a search.
They were looking for weapons.
At the professor's? He's a
decent man, just a bit reckless.
They took all of Charles's works.
Could you intervene?
- I assure you that the
guilty will be punished.
- Thank you very much.
Please sit down. Although
there is such a mess here.
Doesn't matter.
- How was Zakopane?
- Beautiful village.
And I saw the
professor in Krakow.
At the freight station.
We are downloading exhibits
for the exhibition in Nuremberg.
This is the exhibition "700 years of
German culture at the Vistula bend".
Everyone knows that the
Germans spread culture in the East.
- Such a Veit Stoss...
- Who? Wit Stoss?
The lady is funny to pronounce
this name. Charmingly.
In Zakopane, I was
shown the local population.
Markomani. They survived so
many centuries among the Slavs.
Our highlanders - drug addicts?
Markomanni.
They were a Germanic
tribe led by Marbod.
This was recalled by Baldur von Schirach,
who visited Zakopane
and today came to Krakow.
Do you know that Karol
is no longer in Krakow?
I heard. They are interned in Breslau.
They stayed in Wrocław for a short time.
Apparently they took
them to Sachsenhausen.
- We were looking on the map. What is this?
- It's a very neat city.
Sorry. Mr. Władek...
Unfortunately, the professor
rejected my proposal.
It's reckless.
But scholars are
reckless in life.
What about my case?
All right.
Tomorrow at 10:00 a man with a
pram will be waiting
outside the theatre.
You will ask if it is a son or a daughter.
Roman arranged everything.
Who's there?
Decent German.
In my opinion,
these are blunt and flat orders.
But the world
itself is forcing the
Germans to give up
their liberal moves.
It could have been over, if not for the
stubbornness of the English and French.
President Roosevelt signed the bill.
He changed the
US declaration of neutrality.
- Yes?
- Good morning Lady.
Yes. It lifted the arms
embargo for England and France.
After all, this is an attempt
to extend this war. What for?
But America didn't
enter the war, did you?
There is no question of that, but it
irritates the people
in our government.
And we have the consequences.
The professor said the
invitation is out of date.
None of the Poles can be present.
Some caution.
Too bad. The professor was so happy.
To deprive you of
music by Roosevelt?
America is indulging in too much.
You are in a great mood.
Mr. Władysław is in love.
I know it already.
Boy or girl?
Sit down.
I met you from the photo.
What you asked for is ready.
Thank you.
One question. Is Miszczyk really dead?
I saw his carcass.
The documents are certain.
We had a problem with
the stamp in the photo, but...
That's great.
Bend over the cart.
As if you were watching.
It is under the pillow.
That's all.
But I asked for something else...
I know. We have done a lot for you.
Only at the request
of professor Zygadlewicz.
I think he's paid his debt.
My request has not
been repeated to you?
Repeated, but it is unreal.
Mister is looking for contacts.
Why?
Nobody released me from my oath.
Who are you really, Mr. Niwiński?
Why is the Gestapo looking for you?
I don't know.
If you're just an ordinary cadet,
you could be in danger at most of lag.
This is not the domain
of the political police.
I really don't know.
You will admit that this is puzzling.
Have you known Grząiela for a long time?
Who?
I go wild.
I don't know anyone here.
And those I know
al so know you.
As I know, you've recently
enlarged your circle of friends.
It wasn't just the Germans who
were looking for me. We need
to know who we are helping.
Grządziela is known from the
times of the strike in "Solvay".
Is that the railwayman?
Yes.
Germans do not like
communists either.
I can't be accused
of such things.
This is ridiculous.
Don't gesticulate.
You're paying attention.
What should I do?
Wh o should I go to?
But I really want to...
Fight?
Unfortunately, I can't help you.
Good luck, Mr. Miszczyk.
I have already earned
the death penalty today.
Why?
I got this from the station.
Yesterday they shot a
boy for half such a bucket.
You know what?
Maybe I will communicate you with Grząlla?
No God forbid! What about Basia?
I've been waiting for you to ask.
Are you okay?
What did you do to her?
She didn't want to leave here.
Me? What happened?
I am asking what happened.
When we saw each other for
the first time, I warned and asked.
I can assure you that...
You did then.
And I even believed. And what?
If you are decent,
you will go there.
I'll tell you honestly
why I'm here.
You said it was
quiet and a safe place
that I could...
I was hoping for something else,
but unfortunately it didn't work out.
Maybe you do you
have to wait it out?
Take care of something.
You have to.
I'm going that way tomorrow.
What will you be looking for?
It's a quiet place.
My sister lives there.
They have gardening with my husband.
Lots of employees. It's easy to hide.
I have new documents.
Show mister.
We'll have to make you a smoker.
You're now Tadeusz.
Yes.
She wanted Władek, she will have Tadek.
We are getting there!
Sorry. I took a nap.
That's okay.
You missed the border. This is the Reich.
I was afraid of this border.
Was there already control?
Only civilians. They
don't visit us. Get ready.
Do you remember
Zasole, third building on
the left, Siemińscy family.
Nika!
Nika! Come here, boy.
You are stupid!
- Where's your uncle?
- In the greenhouse.
Władek was summoned
to the Arbeitsamt
It's hard. They take care of everyone.
- Understand. They take everyone.
- Then I'm going too.
- Basia! You're crazy. To Germany?
- Yes.
She will really drive. Antek!
- What should I do?
- You know the manager from the Arbeitsamt.
I've already bought two men
for a pig. How long can you?
- But that's Władek.
- Girl, you have everything with me.
I don't know if your father will
be happy to meet this Władek.
- That's why you don't want to?
- Not because of!
It is a duty to save
every human being.
I don't know what will happen tomorrow.
Poles are already being
deported from Żywiec. The time
will come for Oświęcim as well.
I want to leave this
acquaintance for myself.
Who would like to
come to Oświęcim?
- Don't believe it.
- Closer shirt.
What will happen to all of this?
Carry flowers to the common room.
- What is?
- They take. They point at the x-rays.
Carefully.
Okay, come on, come on.
Good day.
- You brought flowers.
- I chose the prettiest.
Okay, I can see.
- You got a nice bill.
- It's winter, not season.
I don't regret my money for fun.
It will be prima.
Please prepare your payout.
Mr. Pral, I have a request for you.
The point is to defend
one of my friends.
- This one?
- Yes.
- Last name?
- Tadeusz Miszczyk.
This time it can still be done.
Let him register.
Then I'll pull out his card.
Done, but you have to register.
I'll be standing for
two hours. At least.
Bring back the rest of the flowers.
- It's money.
- I'll handle it myself. Thank you, sir.
Here you are
Mr. Siemiński.
Please sign the receipt.
Thank you, sir. See you later.
Thank you. Goodbye.
It's cold here at your place.
It had to be said. I would
have you sent the briquettes.
Let me light it up.
It's a wet tree. Let me go.
You see.
Come on? You were crazy, but I did.
- Where is Władek?
- Don't be afraid. Will come back.
- I got it.
- For sure?
What would I not do for you?
It cost a lot,
but never mind money.
If the father comes back,
he will surely give back to his uncle.
Father doesn't have to give up.
I told you: money doesn't matter.
If you wanted, you could
have as much as you want.
Everyone has lost their work,
but there must be onions in every pot.
The gardener will always be on top.
You won't die with me.
I know that.
If you were wise, you would be
like in the cinema throughout the war.
They brought seedlings.
What happened to her?
I have to go back.
Baśka, this is not the time of whims.
More and more dangerous in
Krakow, and Oświęcim is calm.
- Can't you explain to her?
- He's had enough too.
No more inactivity.
There would be a job for you.
Working to survive,
I can do it here.
Not here.
I was not talking about such inactivity.
I also have not such
an ordinary job for you.
What is it?
They're supposed
to be building something here.
In Dwory. Some factory.
No, not in Dwory.
In the barracks, behind the wall.
Yes, I heard something.
So what's behind this wall?
I don't know.
Find out mister.
You'll have a job.
The sooner the better.
Maybe a plan or a
sketch could be used.
I see.
Musu is gone.
This job is not safe.
Good. Is it Mr. Grządziela's request?
Lord! Forget that name and all
the others, do you understand?
Who is it for? Russia?
Are you drunk or what?
I'll be here next Wednesday.
Sorry.
Good morning.
I wanted to grab some peels.
Please.
Władek, you know what?
I'm cold. Let's get out of here.
Where do you want to go?
Must be added to the oven.
Must.
Maybe you want my sweater?
There's a tree lying there.
Very good sweater, pure wool.
No need to chop, just add it.
Władek.
What?
What's going to be?
This war will be over soon.
But what will happen to us?
Let's get out of here.
I'll put it on the stove.
Blow it, it will take care of it.
What am I doing?
Did you hear?
I want to leave.
Let's get out of here.
Why? It's very good here.
It's on fire.
Are you really okay here?
Of course.
The Germans got away from me.
Your uncle arranged everything.
This is really a very nice guy.
Don't lie to yourself.
Why? He's really nice.
Yes...
What do you mean?
What else should I tell you?
I am to scream how well I am
and that you are
th e greatest girl?
The trees must be brought.
You have to.
What?I really have to leave.
Do you have to or do we have to?
You told yourself to go.
But together. You and I.
It's the difference.
Yes, but you're safe here.
And you do not?
I don't know.
You know... Everybody's doing something.
I can't sit here like this.
But I'll be back.
If you decide, leave the card.
"I left. I'll be right back
when the war is over."
To be home.
Basiu...
What?
Thread.
Go away now.
Do you shop like this every day?
Yes, but not for yourself.
I don't live at home.
Sometimes it's so
hard to get anything
I am already here.
Do you live here?
Would you like to visit me?
Who knows? Maybe?
What's in there?
X-ray. The X-rays are doing.
Is the doctor a Pole or a German?
German.
That's a pity.
Are you being taken to the Arbeitsamt?
Yes, unfortunately.
This one won't help you.
I have to go. Thank you very much.
Please feel free.
Maybe we'll see each other again?
See you later.
See you later.

I'll wait. I'll come in at the last minute.
Are you sure you can't
see from the waiting room?
Yes, those windows face south.
If it were summer...
By 04:00 in the morning
it would be over.
Basiu...
Remember? Full stop.
Cold?
A bit.
In five minutes you
must be at the post office.
Please sir!
Hello.
Please come to me. Mister to whom?
To Dr. Wimmer.
You couldn't come earlier?
Dr. Wimmer is already finishing work.
What's this going to be? Lungs X-ray?
Yes.
Pole?
Pole.
To the Arbeitsamt?
Yes, sir.
Surname and name?
Tadeusz Miszczyk.
Living?
Zasole 18.
You will give it back to the doctor.
Thank you very much.
Good day.
Undress to the waist.Please.
Actually, I'm fine.
Don't talk. Faster.
Doctor, phone for you.
Maybe I do come tomorrow?
- Doctor!
- I'm going, im going.
Hello. This is Wimmer.
Who says? Who?
Lisa? What Lisa?
Hello! Madam...
Please speak louder.
I will not disturb you.
I will come tomorrow morning.
I can't hear.
But who do you want to talk to?
This is Wimmer speaking.
Yes, Wimmer.
Klaus? What Klaus?
Hello! Hello!
Hello!
Hello! Please speak louder!
Hello!
- Miss It's hard!
- Listen.
Where is this Pole?
He will come tomorrow.
He didn't want to disturb you.
Is he crazy or what?
It just took my time.
Miss Trudo,
were you on this new movie?
I am telling you: something wonderful!
So what? We're ending for today.
Stop!
Wait a minute! In a second!
This is you?
Shhh... They're looking for me.
Let's go.
Here.
Get undressed.
What?
You slept with me all night.
Good.
I am Hela. And you?
Władek.
I mean no, I'm sorry. Tadek.
Open! Open!
I was supposed to go get
milk and fire it in the oven.
But I guess I can fall
asleep with a boy for once.
Be careful when you smoke in the stove.
I left something in the ash pan.
Dump everything into the bin.
Jesus Maria! Revolver?
No.
Word?
Word.
Helena!
Helena!
You have to open the gate.
Are you still sleeping?
They brought the milk...
What's that supposed to mean?
What happened?
Sorry. I fell asleep.
Elsa, come over here. Elsa!
- Who is this?
- Peasant.
We will talk later!
There's something wrong with Helena.
- Who is this?
- I don't know.
To go away. Now, here, now!
Fast fast!
Documents.
Mish...
Cholera! What a name?
Doctor! It wasn't the milk they brought.
- They burst into the office!
- Who?
This way through the laundry
room and into the attic.
What's that supposed to mean?
I do not wish!
I am a loyal German.
I'll complain.
What's that supposed to mean?
Elsa calls the
lieutenant immediately!
I'll call myself.
- Where's the phone?
- Over there.
- Who has the keys to the office?
- Me and my secretary.
- Shelf?
- German girl.
She came with me from Gliwice.
I came to the Führer's appeal
to develop the German lands.
- Have you known her long?
- He has been working for me for six years.
Who is usually the
first to open a clinic?
In winter, my maid
to light the stove.
- First name and last name?
- Helena Kubik.
- And not Kwapik?
- Yes, Kwapik.
Sorry. Yes, Kwapik.
You don't have a second key,
but this Kwapik?
I give her a key each time.
- In the evening?
- In the morning.
Did you give her the keys today too?
I did not make it. Noises woke me up.
It's outrageous to make a
brothel out of my apartment.
Something much worse had
been made of your apartment.
Spy point.
I have identified this man.
It's not about the man in bed,
it's about the one standing at the window.
- Or is it the same?
- That's possible.
But it all looks more
like a coincidence to me.
- Have you seen this man?
- Yes.
Neither the doors nor the
locks show any signs of break-in.
- There must be someone hidden here.
- It is impossible.
- He stood at the window and took pictures.
- Perhaps the sentries had imagined it?
- Two at once?
- He could have jumped out the window too.
The sentries made a mistake.
They both ran up here.
Bandit nation! Assaults, rapes...
You probably
heard what the Poles
did with our radio
station in Gliwice.
Born bandits!
- Miss Lipowski?
- Yes.
Did you have your office keys
with you all the time yesterday?
- Of course.
- What were you doing last night?
I was in cinema. I still have a ticket.
Maybe someone in the
cinema pulled out your keys?
I was sitting in the seats for the Germans.
I had the key in my purse all the time.
- Were you alone at the cinema?
- Yes.
- And later?
- I don't understand.
Who did you see later?
- With no one.
- Who can confirm that?
If that's what you're saying...
Dr. Wimmer.
- What, Dr. Wimmer?
- He was at my place.
Mhm...
- Long?
- I already confessed to you.
Don't ask any more.
Pretty please.
Miss Lipowski,
the matter is very serious.
I see.
Maybe this man didn't
need a key to get here?
It might have been tucked
in here before we left.
Way to go. You deserve me not
to say anything to Mrs. Wimmer.
So it was one of
yesterday's patients.
I think so. I made a list.
Please.
The last one was Miszczyk.
Yes. But he was not X-rayed.
It was very late and he quit.
- Will you meet him?
- Yes. I have his card.
- Uncle...
- The door!
- Germans!
- Close the door.
This is where money grows.
- Gestapo. They are looking for Władek.
- What are you talking about?
It is impossible.
After all, Pral took it in the paw.
- That's not why they're looking for him.
- What are you talking about?
Means they didn't catch him.
Why would they catch him?
Uncle, let uncle tell
them he fired him.
- I?
- He's gone.
- Tadeusz Miszczyk left today.
- What are you trying to do?
I don't know.
I don't know. Maybe he won't come back.
He's not here. All right.
I could repay you
beautiful ones for
good, but I am human,
remember that.
- Where are they?
- Over there.
Where did he go?
Probably to the family.
I don't know.
- Where is it from?
- I don't ask about such things.
He's a seasonal labourer.
I always need people to work.
Yesterday he left? So suddenly?
- Why?
- I tell. I guess.
Yesterday he got a summons
from the Arbeitsamt.
He got scared.
The gentleman who brought me
here made me take this summons.
And other little things.
Here it is a call to the Arbeitsamt.
Please.
- This is his picture?
- Yes. He worked to prove it.
- Is this Kwapik still here?
- Yes.
Bring it.
I told him to come in.
He would be better in
Germany than at my place.
For me, it's like a gardener.
You have to smoke under
the cauldron all night long.
A flower is a flower.
Something else? I have dinner on time.
The lady will let you come closer.
- This one?
- Yes.
You are lying. He left just yesterday.
There are witnesses.
Witnesses?
Why are you testifying so falsely?
He left. You couldn't see him.
After all, he slept with me!
Mr. Wimmer caught us on this.
- On what?
- What the peasant does with the woman.
What was it for?
I will know now.
When did he come to you?
- In the evening.
- Was it all night?
- Yes. Mr. Wimmer woke us up this morning.
- What was his name?
I don't know the surname.
Tadek, Władek? Władek...
So I'm guessing.
How is it in flirting.
Not true.
This is your fiancé.
Congratulations on your faithfulness.
Do not leave the city.
You'll be needed when I catch him.
You will still stay.
You will sign this statement.
I will help you.
Thank you very much.
How much do I pay? These two suitcases.
Halt.
Document control.
- How are you, mate? Vacation?
- Yes, two days.
Episode 3
Please.
Good morning.
Good morning. Wait a minute.
Please come in. Please.
Good day.
Please kindly. Here you are.
Please. Portrait?
Yes, please.
Coat?
No thank you.
Wait a minute.
Thank you.
Wait a minute.
Sorry, sir.
Excuse me?
Who is this man whose portrait
is hanging in the display case?
I don't know who
you are talking about.
One is Eugeniusz Bodo
when he was in Krakow.
Maybe yes?
I know Eugene Bodo.
And the other one is Leon Wyrwicz.
Every child knows him.
Of course.
I ask the young one about it. Who is this?
Oh, this one. Client.
He ordered a photo for evidence.
It's very photogenic so
we took a zoom to the site.
Do you like it? Great idea.
What is his address?
I don't know.
When did he take the photo?
A few days ago. I will check.
Please check the address.
Not provided.
How did he not give it?
Address, fast!
I honestly say. I don't know.
I can check. Here you are.
You are bad at bookkeeping.
But I am an excellent bookmaker.
Here you are. The photo was
taken the day before yesterday.
Pickup today.
Receive today?
Yes. Wait a minute.
Yes, it's even ready. Please.
No photo yet you
have not done so well.
Last name?
I don't know.
The client does not need to provide a
surname. It has a number on the receipt.
I'm asking for your name.
Tadeusz Białas.
You may be in big trouble,
Mr. Białas.
You're concealing the criminal.
But I really don't know.
I am a loyal citizen.
I follow all orders. You don't
think you read them thoroughly.
There is a severe penalty
for hiding wanted persons.
But this is an ordinary customer.
Even I didn't operate it.
Who?
A daughter.
This is her friend?
This was the first time she saw him.
Daughter's name?
Barbara, but...
Where is she now?
At home.
You mean where?
Stradomska 20.
But what does she know?
We'll see.
There is no Stradomska Street.
You were thinking of Kommandantur.
Yes, of course. Sorry.
Number?
20.
Receipt number?
38.
Are you sure you want to pick up today?
Yes. It says urgent.
Very good.
Everyone is in a hurry today.
What time do you close your bet?
At six.
Are you a believer, Mr. Białas?
Yes.
If I were you, I would pray
to get this client
to come today.
Otherwise, you won't sleep at home.
Not your daughter.
Do you have something to read?
Yes. Of course.
Here you are.
I'll wait for him.
Are you in a hurry?
I've made an appointment.
With Mr. Roman?
Do you have something against that?
I? Not at all.
The professor is not coming
back for a long time. Exactly.
I was listening to London today.
Where?
Doesn't matter.
Not a word about the
arrest of the professors.
It is significant and optimistic.
I don't understand.
Jagiellonka is a powerful university.
The scientific world will stand up for her.
This action is a thoughtless
act of a local policeman.
Berlin realised this blunder. Now
they are negotiating with governments.
The Germans will release them. They
don't want the world to know about it.
Mr. Roman is a trader?
Why are you mocking?
Sorry. What about the front?
Calm down for now.
But according to Roman, only apparent.
What about London?
Germany's allies are doing nothing.
Where are the Italians?
If the king abdicates in favour
of the prince of Piedmont,
he is such a Francophile that the
balance of power will reverse.
What, mother?
In Montelupich there are crowds
like in Szczepański Square.
All women.
You can see how many
of them are in prison.
Calm down. There are too many of
them there. They have to let them go.
If it were only the father,
it would be much worse.
- Believe me.
- Maybe you're right.
Mother, I have to go out for a while.
I'll be back soon. I apologise you.
Everything will be fine, really.
I'm leaving too.
I need to pick up the photos.
Are you both going out?
Will you leave me all alone?
Maybe you will stay with your
mother and I will pick up these photos?
Thank you. I'll give you a number.
Here you go.
Thank you.
- Sorry, mother.
- Thank you, Mr. Władek.
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
- I wanted to pick up the photos.
- A number, please. Thank you.
Eleven.
He should be ready by now. Wait a minute.
Still in the darkroom, I guess.
Wait a minute. I will check.
This is! I knew they were ready.
We always meet the deadline.
Wait a minute, I'll just
note that number 11 is done.
- Thank you very much.
We recommend ourselves.
- Thank you. Goodbye.
Professor Gleybnitz has
just arrived from Berlin.
Let the gentlemen sit down.
I am glad that you are not
accepting me as your enemy.
Two months ago, this young
man would have shot me.
Today we sit opposite
each other and talk.
Emotions pass. Time for reason.
Yes, thank you.
It is regrettable that we
meet in such circumstances.
I am the enemy of violence and strength.
But unfortunately we know how
little historical arguments count with the
views of gray people like us.
Historical reasons? Whose?
The professor speaks
completely different than others.
It gives me hope.
I would very much like
it to be my hope as well.
I'll do my best.
When I found out about this
internment of the professor,
I had already taken some steps.
I believed it would be so.
Do you remember
our last meeting?
- Nothing foreshadowed this storm.
- That's true.
Luxor, the shadows of the ruins,
the Nile...
The guide on the boat explained
to us what the temple of Amun was.
And yet it was us - the professor and
I - who discovered two frescoes there.
- How many years, my God...
- As many as roses.
Ah, that's why!
The professor and his
colleagues were taken hostage.
I was told it was before
some public holiday.
Yes. November 11.
What was that?
Józef Piłsudski was released
from the German prison that day.
Later became Governor of State.
I see.
Yes, Piłsudski...
We respect the memory of this man.
In the governor's castle, our soldiers
stand guard in front of his grave.
At the Wawel Castle.
That was the name?
That's it. Oh. I see.
So hostages.
It's a brutal habit, I admit.
But no other guarantees
have yet been invented in wars.
Do you think after some time...?
- Of course.
- Thank you. Thank you very much.
I'm sorry I can't
give you any more.
You treat me with memories
of the good old days.
This is already a feast.
What has the professor
been working on lately?
He's not finished work,
but it will be a revelation.
Still the Abbasid dynasty?
- No. This time the Fatimids.
Well well!
He entered my backyard!
And here it is talking
about our occupation.
What is it?
In April, they brought the remains
of a pylon with their daughter.
- No! It is impossible! This is not there!
- He's in my husband's office.
- I must see this.
- I'll show you.
Another solution comes to mind.
It would be the simplest.
- Do you think about the Karol case?
- Just about that. Yes.
Now I remember.
Once upon a time... I think it was
at a convention in San Sebastian.
- You were there too?
- I always went with my husband.
The professor mentioned that his
great-grandfather
was called Sidglitz.
But this was not Karol's great-grandfather.
Sidglitz settled here
in the 16th century.
- He acquired mercantile rights.
- But Sidglitz?
Only him. His son took
the surname Zygadlewicz.
- But you have a memory!
- It's not about memory.
- It's about the chance.
- I don't understand.
The professor could
declare German nationality.
But why?
I don't think Karol would
decide to do anything like that.
Why? After all, I am not
proposing that he become a Jew.
Please don't get me wrong.
I am not a racist.
The terms: German, Pole,
Norwegian, French
are an anachronism.
Only Europe will
count in the future.
I don't belong to the party. They don't
understand who Adolf Hitler really is.
The world of thought
with the concepts of today.
I need slogans.
But Hitler thinks in
terms beyond the epoch.
He was ahead of his time.
The world may
consider him a criminal.
Today, beating Jews, wars,
camps, etc. are considered crimes.
But who will ever remember that?
Would you please throw a
stone at the slave overseer today?
After all, the pyramids have
survived to this day and were
the beginning of civilization.
Sorry, I'll go see
what about Justyna.
Unfortunately,
everything that is most
beautiful grows most
luxuriantly on dung.
These botanical regularities
also apply to history.
Excuse me.
I couldn't listen to this any more.
Hush... Let him talk.
He's worse than the gendarmes.
What are you saying too, Mr. Władek?
It wasn't until he took
away my last hope.
The professor assured me
that passive resistance
is enough to survive.
But that's not true.
I don't know.
If only he could help my husband.
- Are you Władek?
- This is. Mr. Władek.
Please. The Gestapo is
at the photographer's.
What did he give me here?
He's crazy. Please see.
Actually.
I'll go alone.
Wait a minute!
There is something written here.
"They're looking for you.
Absolutely not come to me.
Please warn my daughter.
Let him leave the
apartment immediately."
Was the Gestapo there for sure?
I think so.
What's the name of this photographer?
Białas.
Do you have a phone book?
It's here.
Sorry.
Please. Come on in, Marysia.
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
We drink the baby's health.
Today is his holiday.
Mr. Boss, let's take a picture of him.
Yes. Please. Please,
gentlemen, please.
- Shall we drink?
- No thank you. Please come in.
- Sit down, Marysia.
- Please, I serve the state.
Would you like a group photo or
a small photo with the godmother?
Me with my godson.
He is the most important here.
A boy or a girl?
You can see that the peasant.
His name is Władysław.
Like the one from France
who pisses the stuff.
This one is pouring over there,
and this one is pouring on them here.
- He's a patriotic child.
- That doesn't belong.
How does it not belong?
What was it supposed to be called?
Adolf? For me to shit myself out of fear?
Cry baby Be quiet...
Stop it for today.
The child is upset.
We have to get out of here.
We'll come another time.
Come on. Don't look back.
I'm listening to you.
I took pictures of you with my dog.
He is very photogenic.
- They were supposed to be for today.
- A number, please.
Ticket? I'll look for it soon.
Not here...
But I definitely know
it was number eleven.
I can not find.
Maybe you will be kind?
I will check it right away.
I'm sorry, sir. You mean
my photos aren't ready?
Moment!
You recently released eleven.
No, no!
Only this gentleman...
Let me give it to the client.
No! What was that number?
I don't remember.
Don't you remember?
Won!
Now let's play jigsaw puzzles.
Have you ever had such bricks? What?
If necessary, put
together with language.
Fold.
Who is that girl?
I don't know. I must have been wrong.
Hello.
Are you?
We don't accept at home.
I have a letter for Mrs.
You couldn't think
of anything better?
From my father.
The resemblance is small,
but the smile is the same.
Please read the
on the second page.
Please.
What happened?
I don't know. There is
a Gestapo in the facility.
What should I do?
Change the address.
What for?
My father writes like that.
Do you have anywhere to go?
Maybe to your uncle... What do you think?
I don't know. I don't know him.
Sorry. I have to go.
In a second. Please sit down.
I have to think.
Hurry up, lady.
Now you can take your time.
Is there a second exit somewhere?
No.
Do something. It's Germany.
Mrs. Basia! Mrs. Basia!
The language seems to be similar to Polish.
Mrs. Basia, daddy has been arrested.
You must run away immediately.
Have you heard?
Why? What is he guilty of?
Every Pole is to blame for them.
Get your coat. We go.
Where?
Uncle.
What can I do about it?
My squad does not leave until 19:05.
- When's your uncle coming back?
- Tomorrow evening.
Maybe my father will be released.
You can't sleep at home.
You have the keys here. The upper
one jams. You need the handle up.
Are you going to Bielsko?
It's already Reich.
They let us in yet.
It is not known how long.
Go, Baśka.
The curfew is coming soon.
Do you live far?
Market wheel.
You won't make it.
What about the lady?
She takes two steps. It's close.
We'll manage.
Goodbye sir.
Lord! Wait a minute.
She's a decent girl. Mister won't
make it home. Do you understand?
I see. Thank you.
What did your uncle want from you?
From me?
Yes. When he was leaving,
he told you something.
Don't let me rape you.
Your humour doesn't leave you.
What am I supposed to do?
I don't know.
A very nice picture.
I recognise your hand.
I did not. Father.
I'm sorry.
Have you seen your portrait?
What?
On display. I took a magnification.
For a face like that,
it turned out pretty well.
Ah yes.
Still hanging there?
I hope so.
That's nice.
What's the matter?
Did you make it up yourself or your father?
Sam.
Do you think they might
have taken him somewhere?
I do not know.
Good thing you were doing the print.
Maybe no one will recognise me.
Are the Germans looking for you?
I think so.
For what?
I don't know.
How is that?
I don't want to wonder.
If they catch me, I'll ask.
You pretend to be brave.
Yes, then I'm less afraid.
Because of you, they arrested my father!
Calm down.
If it weren't for your idea
decorating an exhibition...
I don't know, if that
was what I meant.
What did they arrest him for?
I don't know.
I don't know I don't know!
What can they do to him?
Is this my portrait big?
Yes. Quite big.
It turned out stupid.
You put it mildly.
Actually, who are you?
Let me introduce myself.
Władysław Niwiński. Good evening.
Where did you come from?
Good evening.
It was you who hung me up.
Listen up.
Lie down. Get some rest.
What?
I have to think a bit. Go to sleep.
I can't sleep.
If you walk around here,
I will get angry and rape you.
I promise you good things.
Good night.
Look over there. On the first floor.
Where are the flowers?
No. Cucumbers.
Oh my.What happened?
I didn't put in the dill. I will go there.
Please wait. I don't like
cucumbers anyway. Come on.
Wait here. I will look around.
Tadek!
Tadeusz!
What are you saying?
Tadeusz Miszczyk.
Does that tell you nothing?
Always looking in
someone else's pockets?
Make sure your pockets are
empty when hanging your pants.
I will apply.
You can put things into cubes.
You can do it for sure.
There were once great Napoleons here.
I don't like sweets.
These are not my documents.
Where did you get them?
This man doesn't need them,
and I can use them.
What has become of him?
His problem was solved by these gentlemen.
You're not sitting yet?
The Germans waited all night for you.
They left five minutes ago.
They left such a seal on the door!
- We'll go.
- I would go.
Who are you really?
I already told you.
As you believe.
You can say or not.
But this is about Białas.
How can we help
him if we don't even
know what they
are accusing him of?
First they kept him on Montelupich.
Today he is in Płaszów.
This is a serious matter.
The search in the
apartment lasted until dawn.
They asked all tenants about Baśkę.
That is why I ask: what is it all about?
I really don't know.
They are murderers.
I met them in Spain.
It all depends on you.
I do not know.
I feel a bit guilty about it,
though I didn't commit it.
Mr. White does not
hide his regret from me.
I don't really know
what's going on.
Are you surprised?
Man is only man.
And this is his brother.
I spoke to my comrades today.
They say you should
go to the Gestapo.
It won't help. They will have
both of them. I know them.
Józek, take the regret out of
your heart. The times are like this.
Man owes nothing.
I wish you were honest with us.
We will hide Basia.
He will be gone today.
We could hide you too.
But I don't want to.
I'm fed up. We have to fight.
Otherwise they will crush us all.
Do you want to fight yourself?
Now I don't care.
It is not all the same. Mister
is right that you have to fight.
But it doesn't matter
if you are alone.
And it doesn't matter with
whom to join the partnership.
We don't have much choice.
But no matter what happens,
we are not alone.
An army is rising in France.
Sikorski is creating a new government.
But is it really new?
I would have to learn a
lesson from this September.
But this is great politics.
Meanwhile, a little
photographer in prison.
In fact, we're standing still.
Time.
Will you go with me?
Where to?
To my family.
Unfortunately, I can't.
This is the most
peaceful place on earth.
The world is boarded up with boards.
Not. Thank you, sir.
Understand, Basia.
I really can't.
Then go away!
What have you done, man?
And so I asked you.
Be careful!
Like glass! It is 500 years old.
Yes.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
500 years.
They rob that way every day.
You are! You did not let
yourself know for a long time.
I suspected the worst.
What was the matter with you?
What was going on here?
There was a search yesterday evening.
They asked for me?
About sir?
No. Why?
They said that there was a hidden
weapon here, that Karol testified
so during the investigation.
The professor's weapon?
Nonsense! That's an excuse.
They took almost
everything from his office.
Even the last manuscript.
A wonderful work.
And they took the pylon.
And Professor Gleybnitz?
He sent me this.
An invitation to a concert?
Yes.
The Vienna Philharmonic has arrived.
The professor wants me to go with him.
This Gleybnitz...
I know that showing up in
the company of a German is...
But only he can help Karol.
I'll get it.
Fine.
General clean up?
Good day. If I am disturbing...
There was a search.
They were looking for weapons.
At the professor's? He's a
decent man, just a bit reckless.
They took all of Charles's works.
Could you intervene?
- I assure you that the
guilty will be punished.
- Thank you very much.
Please sit down. Although
there is such a mess here.
Doesn't matter.
- How was Zakopane?
- Beautiful village.
And I saw the
professor in Krakow.
At the freight station.
We are downloading exhibits
for the exhibition in Nuremberg.
This is the exhibition "700 years of
German culture at the Vistula bend".
Everyone knows that the
Germans spread culture in the East.
- Such a Veit Stoss...
- Who? Wit Stoss?
The lady is funny to pronounce
this name. Charmingly.
In Zakopane, I was
shown the local population.
Markomani. They survived so
many centuries among the Slavs.
Our highlanders - drug addicts?
Markomanni.
They were a Germanic
tribe led by Marbod.
This was recalled by Baldur von Schirach,
who visited Zakopane
and today came to Krakow.
Do you know that Karol
is no longer in Krakow?
I heard. They are interned in Breslau.
They stayed in Wrocław for a short time.
Apparently they took
them to Sachsenhausen.
- We were looking on the map. What is this?
- It's a very neat city.
Sorry. Mr. Władek...
Unfortunately, the professor
rejected my proposal.
It's reckless.
But scholars are
reckless in life.
What about my case?
All right.
Tomorrow at 10:00 a man with a
pram will be waiting
outside the theatre.
You will ask if it is a son or a daughter.
Roman arranged everything.
Who's there?
Decent German.
In my opinion,
these are blunt and flat orders.
But the world
itself is forcing the
Germans to give up
their liberal moves.
It could have been over, if not for the
stubbornness of the English and French.
President Roosevelt signed the bill.
He changed the
US declaration of neutrality.
- Yes?
- Good morning Lady.
Yes. It lifted the arms
embargo for England and France.
After all, this is an attempt
to extend this war. What for?
But America didn't
enter the war, did you?
There is no question of that, but it
irritates the people
in our government.
And we have the consequences.
The professor said the
invitation is out of date.
None of the Poles can be present.
Some caution.
Too bad. The professor was so happy.
To deprive you of
music by Roosevelt?
America is indulging in too much.
You are in a great mood.
Mr. Władysław is in love.
I know it already.
Boy or girl?
Sit down.
I met you from the photo.
What you asked for is ready.
Thank you.
One question. Is Miszczyk really dead?
I saw his carcass.
The documents are certain.
We had a problem with
the stamp in the photo, but...
That's great.
Bend over the cart.
As if you were watching.
It is under the pillow.
That's all.
But I asked for something else...
I know. We have done a lot for you.
Only at the request
of professor Zygadlewicz.
I think he's paid his debt.
My request has not
been repeated to you?
Repeated, but it is unreal.
Mister is looking for contacts.
Why?
Nobody released me from my oath.
Who are you really, Mr. Niwiński?
Why is the Gestapo looking for you?
I don't know.
If you're just an ordinary cadet,
you could be in danger at most of lag.
This is not the domain
of the political police.
I really don't know.
You will admit that this is puzzling.
Have you known Grząiela for a long time?
Who?
I go wild.
I don't know anyone here.
And those I know
al so know you.
As I know, you've recently
enlarged your circle of friends.
It wasn't just the Germans who
were looking for me. We need
to know who we are helping.
Grządziela is known from the
times of the strike in "Solvay".
Is that the railwayman?
Yes.
Germans do not like
communists either.
I can't be accused
of such things.
This is ridiculous.
Don't gesticulate.
You're paying attention.
What should I do?
Wh o should I go to?
But I really want to...
Fight?
Unfortunately, I can't help you.
Good luck, Mr. Miszczyk.
I have already earned
the death penalty today.
Why?
I got this from the station.
Yesterday they shot a
boy for half such a bucket.
You know what?
Maybe I will communicate you with Grząlla?
No God forbid! What about Basia?
I've been waiting for you to ask.
Are you okay?
What did you do to her?
She didn't want to leave here.
Me? What happened?
I am asking what happened.
When we saw each other for
the first time, I warned and asked.
I can assure you that...
You did then.
And I even believed. And what?
If you are decent,
you will go there.
I'll tell you honestly
why I'm here.
You said it was
quiet and a safe place
that I could...
I was hoping for something else,
but unfortunately it didn't work out.
Maybe you do you
have to wait it out?
Take care of something.
You have to.
I'm going that way tomorrow.
What will you be looking for?
It's a quiet place.
My sister lives there.
They have gardening with my husband.
Lots of employees. It's easy to hide.
I have new documents.
Show mister.
We'll have to make you a smoker.
You're now Tadeusz.
Yes.
She wanted Władek, she will have Tadek.
We are getting there!
Sorry. I took a nap.
That's okay.
You missed the border. This is the Reich.
I was afraid of this border.
Was there already control?
Only civilians. They
don't visit us. Get ready.
Do you remember
Zasole, third building on
the left, Siemińscy family.
Nika!
Nika! Come here, boy.
You are stupid!
- Where's your uncle?
- In the greenhouse.
Władek was summoned
to the Arbeitsamt
It's hard. They take care of everyone.
- Understand. They take everyone.
- Then I'm going too.
- Basia! You're crazy. To Germany?
- Yes.
She will really drive. Antek!
- What should I do?
- You know the manager from the Arbeitsamt.
I've already bought two men
for a pig. How long can you?
- But that's Władek.
- Girl, you have everything with me.
I don't know if your father will
be happy to meet this Władek.
- That's why you don't want to?
- Not because of!
It is a duty to save
every human being.
I don't know what will happen tomorrow.
Poles are already being
deported from Żywiec. The time
will come for Oświęcim as well.
I want to leave this
acquaintance for myself.
Who would like to
come to Oświęcim?
- Don't believe it.
- Closer shirt.
What will happen to all of this?
Carry flowers to the common room.
- What is?
- They take. They point at the x-rays.
Carefully.
Okay, come on, come on.
Good day.
- You brought flowers.
- I chose the prettiest.
Okay, I can see.
- You got a nice bill.
- It's winter, not season.
I don't regret my money for fun.
It will be prima.
Please prepare your payout.
Mr. Pral, I have a request for you.
The point is to defend
one of my friends.
- This one?
- Yes.
- Last name?
- Tadeusz Miszczyk.
This time it can still be done.
Let him register.
Then I'll pull out his card.
Done, but you have to register.
I'll be standing for
two hours. At least.
Bring back the rest of the flowers.
- It's money.
- I'll handle it myself. Thank you, sir.
Here you are
Mr. Siemiński.
Please sign the receipt.
Thank you, sir. See you later.
Thank you. Goodbye.
It's cold here at your place.
It had to be said. I would
have you sent the briquettes.
Let me light it up.
It's a wet tree. Let me go.
You see.
Come on? You were crazy, but I did.
- Where is Władek?
- Don't be afraid. Will come back.
- I got it.
- For sure?
What would I not do for you?
It cost a lot,
but never mind money.
If the father comes back,
he will surely give back to his uncle.
Father doesn't have to give up.
I told you: money doesn't matter.
If you wanted, you could
have as much as you want.
Everyone has lost their work,
but there must be onions in every pot.
The gardener will always be on top.
You won't die with me.
I know that.
If you were wise, you would be
like in the cinema throughout the war.
They brought seedlings.
What happened to her?
I have to go back.
Baśka, this is not the time of whims.
More and more dangerous in
Krakow, and Oświęcim is calm.
- Can't you explain to her?
- He's had enough too.
No more inactivity.
There would be a job for you.
Working to survive,
I can do it here.
Not here.
I was not talking about such inactivity.
I also have not such
an ordinary job for you.
What is it?
They're supposed
to be building something here.
In Dwory. Some factory.
No, not in Dwory.
In the barracks, behind the wall.
Yes, I heard something.
So what's behind this wall?
I don't know.
Find out mister.
You'll have a job.
The sooner the better.
Maybe a plan or a
sketch could be used.
I see.
Musu is gone.
This job is not safe.
Good. Is it Mr. Grządziela's request?
Lord! Forget that name and all
the others, do you understand?
Who is it for? Russia?
Are you drunk or what?
I'll be here next Wednesday.
Sorry.
Good morning.
I wanted to grab some peels.
Please.
Władek, you know what?
I'm cold. Let's get out of here.
Where do you want to go?
Must be added to the oven.
Must.
Maybe you want my sweater?
There's a tree lying there.
Very good sweater, pure wool.
No need to chop, just add it.
Władek.
What?
What's going to be?
This war will be over soon.
But what will happen to us?
Let's get out of here.
I'll put it on the stove.
Blow it, it will take care of it.
What am I doing?
Did you hear?
I want to leave.
Let's get out of here.
Why? It's very good here.
It's on fire.
Are you really okay here?
Of course.
The Germans got away from me.
Your uncle arranged everything.
This is really a very nice guy.
Don't lie to yourself.
Why? He's really nice.
Yes...
What do you mean?
What else should I tell you?
I am to scream how well I am
and that you are
th e greatest girl?
The trees must be brought.
You have to.
What?I really have to leave.
Do you have to or do we have to?
You told yourself to go.
But together. You and I.
It's the difference.
Yes, but you're safe here.
And you do not?
I don't know.
You know... Everybody's doing something.
I can't sit here like this.
But I'll be back.
If you decide, leave the card.
"I left. I'll be right back
when the war is over."
To be home.
Basiu...
What?
Thread.
Go away now.
Do you shop like this every day?
Yes, but not for yourself.
I don't live at home.
Sometimes it's so
hard to get anything
I am already here.
Do you live here?
Would you like to visit me?
Who knows? Maybe?
What's in there?
X-ray. The X-rays are doing.
Is the doctor a Pole or a German?
German.
That's a pity.
Are you being taken to the Arbeitsamt?
Yes, unfortunately.
This one won't help you.
I have to go. Thank you very much.
Please feel free.
Maybe we'll see each other again?
See you later.
See you later.

I'll wait. I'll come in at the last minute.
Are you sure you can't
see from the waiting room?
Yes, those windows face south.
If it were summer...
By 04:00 in the morning
it would be over.
Basiu...
Remember? Full stop.
Cold?
A bit.
In five minutes you
must be at the post office.
Please sir!
Hello.
Please come to me. Mister to whom?
To Dr. Wimmer.
You couldn't come earlier?
Dr. Wimmer is already finishing work.
What's this going to be? Lungs X-ray?
Yes.
Pole?
Pole.
To the Arbeitsamt?
Yes, sir.
Surname and name?
Tadeusz Miszczyk.
Living?
Zasole 18.
You will give it back to the doctor.
Thank you very much.
Good day.
Undress to the waist.Please.
Actually, I'm fine.
Don't talk. Faster.
Doctor, phone for you.
Maybe I do come tomorrow?
- Doctor!
- I'm going, im going.
Hello. This is Wimmer.
Who says? Who?
Lisa? What Lisa?
Hello! Madam...
Please speak louder.
I will not disturb you.
I will come tomorrow morning.
I can't hear.
But who do you want to talk to?
This is Wimmer speaking.
Yes, Wimmer.
Klaus? What Klaus?
Hello! Hello!
Hello!
Hello! Please speak louder!
Hello!
- Miss It's hard!
- Listen.
Where is this Pole?
He will come tomorrow.
He didn't want to disturb you.
Is he crazy or what?
It just took my time.
Miss Trudo,
were you on this new movie?
I am telling you: something wonderful!
So what? We're ending for today.
Stop!
Wait a minute! In a second!
This is you?
Shhh... They're looking for me.
Let's go.
Here.
Get undressed.
What?
You slept with me all night.
Good.
I am Hela. And you?
Władek.
I mean no, I'm sorry. Tadek.
Open! Open!
I was supposed to go get
milk and fire it in the oven.
But I guess I can fall
asleep with a boy for once.
Be careful when you smoke in the stove.
I left something in the ash pan.
Dump everything into the bin.
Jesus Maria! Revolver?
No.
Word?
Word.
Helena!
Helena!
You have to open the gate.
Are you still sleeping?
They brought the milk...
What's that supposed to mean?
What happened?
Sorry. I fell asleep.
Elsa, come over here. Elsa!
- Who is this?
- Peasant.
We will talk later!
There's something wrong with Helena.
- Who is this?
- I don't know.
To go away. Now, here, now!
Fast fast!
Documents.
Mish...
Cholera! What a name?
Doctor! It wasn't the milk they brought.
- They burst into the office!
- Who?
This way through the laundry
room and into the attic.
What's that supposed to mean?
I do not wish!
I am a loyal German.
I'll complain.
What's that supposed to mean?
Elsa calls the
lieutenant immediately!
I'll call myself.
- Where's the phone?
- Over there.
- Who has the keys to the office?
- Me and my secretary.
- Shelf?
- German girl.
She came with me from Gliwice.
I came to the Führer's appeal
to develop the German lands.
- Have you known her long?
- He has been working for me for six years.
Who is usually the
first to open a clinic?
In winter, my maid
to light the stove.
- First name and last name?
- Helena Kubik.
- And not Kwapik?
- Yes, Kwapik.
Sorry. Yes, Kwapik.
You don't have a second key,
but this Kwapik?
I give her a key each time.
- In the evening?
- In the morning.
Did you give her the keys today too?
I did not make it. Noises woke me up.
It's outrageous to make a
brothel out of my apartment.
Something much worse had
been made of your apartment.
Spy point.
I have identified this man.
It's not about the man in bed,
it's about the one standing at the window.
- Or is it the same?
- That's possible.
But it all looks more
like a coincidence to me.
- Have you seen this man?
- Yes.
Neither the doors nor the
locks show any signs of break-in.
- There must be someone hidden here.
- It is impossible.
- He stood at the window and took pictures.
- Perhaps the sentries had imagined it?
- Two at once?
- He could have jumped out the window too.
The sentries made a mistake.
They both ran up here.
Bandit nation! Assaults, rapes...
You probably
heard what the Poles
did with our radio
station in Gliwice.
Born bandits!
- Miss Lipowski?
- Yes.
Did you have your office keys
with you all the time yesterday?
- Of course.
- What were you doing last night?
I was in cinema. I still have a ticket.
Maybe someone in the
cinema pulled out your keys?
I was sitting in the seats for the Germans.
I had the key in my purse all the time.
- Were you alone at the cinema?
- Yes.
- And later?
- I don't understand.
Who did you see later?
- With no one.
- Who can confirm that?
If that's what you're saying...
Dr. Wimmer.
- What, Dr. Wimmer?
- He was at my place.
Mhm...
- Long?
- I already confessed to you.
Don't ask any more.
Pretty please.
Miss Lipowski,
the matter is very serious.
I see.
Maybe this man didn't
need a key to get here?
It might have been tucked
in here before we left.
Way to go. You deserve me not
to say anything to Mrs. Wimmer.
So it was one of
yesterday's patients.
I think so. I made a list.
Please.
The last one was Miszczyk.
Yes. But he was not X-rayed.
It was very late and he quit.
- Will you meet him?
- Yes. I have his card.
- Uncle...
- The door!
- Germans!
- Close the door.
This is where money grows.
- Gestapo. They are looking for Władek.
- What are you talking about?
It is impossible.
After all, Pral took it in the paw.
- That's not why they're looking for him.
- What are you talking about?
Means they didn't catch him.
Why would they catch him?
Uncle, let uncle tell
them he fired him.
- I?
- He's gone.
- Tadeusz Miszczyk left today.
- What are you trying to do?
I don't know.
I don't know. Maybe he won't come back.
He's not here. All right.
I could repay you
beautiful ones for
good, but I am human,
remember that.
- Where are they?
- Over there.
Where did he go?
Probably to the family.
I don't know.
- Where is it from?
- I don't ask about such things.
He's a seasonal labourer.
I always need people to work.
Yesterday he left? So suddenly?
- Why?
- I tell. I guess.
Yesterday he got a summons
from the Arbeitsamt.
He got scared.
The gentleman who brought me
here made me take this summons.
And other little things.
Here it is a call to the Arbeitsamt.
Please.
- This is his picture?
- Yes. He worked to prove it.
- Is this Kwapik still here?
- Yes.
Bring it.
I told him to come in.
He would be better in
Germany than at my place.
For me, it's like a gardener.
You have to smoke under
the cauldron all night long.
A flower is a flower.
Something else? I have dinner on time.
The lady will let you come closer.
- This one?
- Yes.
You are lying. He left just yesterday.
There are witnesses.
Witnesses?
Why are you testifying so falsely?
He left. You couldn't see him.
After all, he slept with me!
Mr. Wimmer caught us on this.
- On what?
- What the peasant does with the woman.
What was it for?
I will know now.
When did he come to you?
- In the evening.
- Was it all night?
- Yes. Mr. Wimmer woke us up this morning.
- What was his name?
I don't know the surname.
Tadek, Władek? Władek...
So I'm guessing.
How is it in flirting.
Not true.
This is your fiancé.
Congratulations on your faithfulness.
Do not leave the city.
You'll be needed when I catch him.
You will still stay.
You will sign this statement.
I will help you.
Thank you very much.
How much do I pay? These two suitcases.
Halt.
Document control.
- How are you, mate? Vacation?
- Yes, two days.
