STARRING

FIRST TIME ON THE SCREEN:

THE DEVIL

What happened here?

This young officer didn't
follow orders.

He gave the soldiers his own money.

They rebelled.

They wanted to stop
the approaching army.

They said that no one had resisted.

That the Sejm had approved
the partition of the country.

I've never touched a human body

with my hands.

Who are you?

I have an order to escort
political prisoners

held in this convent to Warsaw.

- There are only two of them.
- Yes, I know.

No one is guarding them.
All the servants have escaped.

- Quickly! They'll be here any minute.
- Yes.

The nuns will take you there.

I have to go back there.

Are you Jakub, sentenced to death
for attempted regicide?

No, no...

So then you're Jakub.

Jakub.

Quiet! We have to run.
Terrible things are going to happen here.

Help me.

Come on.

He�s very weak.
He had an attack.

Tomasz!

I'm so sorry...

that I can't take you with me.

I can't leave you here, either.

I'll take you with me.

I�ll take you...

Come on.

I want nothing from you.
Just promise me you'll go back home.

Remember!

Just promise me one thing.
Go back home.

Go back home!

Take her, to look after you.
To sweeten your time.

Take her!
She's poor, an orphan.

I'm giving you freedom
in exchange for your promise.

Remember!

Don't you recognize me?

Jakub!

I saved you from that slaughter.

Don't play stupid with me!

I saved your life!

Here's a witness.

What about Tomasz?

It couldn't be done.

He died before my eyes.

But I saved you.
It took a lot of effort.

What happened here?

This? Soldiers.

These are soldiers from the last war.

They lost?

Yes. The Sejm has accepted
the partition of Poland.

- I have to go to Warsaw.
- No way!

No one has to do anything now.

Remember? You promised
to go straight home.

What do you want from me?

Nothing. Think of me as
a kind of... priest.

I�ll make sure you don't get lost.

All your friends came back.
They are waiting for you at home.

Go.

Is it true that Tomasz is dead?

Do you have a place to go?

Say nothing, Master, or
you'll cause some misfortune.

He's sick.

Do you need help, Master?

You're scared.

Stay with us, Master.
We accept everyone.

I am Hertz,
owner of the King's Theater.

I haven't always been wandering around
the forest with this bunch of refugees.

You're beautiful. There aren't any
boys as beautiful as you among us.

If you don't know any tricks,
or how to act,

we'll make living pictures of you.

- We'll strip you naked, show all.
- No, no!

You're a fool!
I'm not trying to deceive you.

But how to save oneself?

By playing?

Yes, by playing.

Join us, Master.

There are tightrope walkers
and actors among us.

We move from place to place,
performing.

You'll feel good with us,
if there's confusion in your head.

None of them were actors
or performers before.

You can learn, Master.
Let me encourage you.

We have a Turkish girl from afar,
from the Bosporus. She knows a lot.

She's eager for everyone.
Come, I'll show you what she can do.

Maybe you'll lose your head for her.

Do you want her?

I give her to you.
She is yours, for free.

You're so pale and young,

under this beard and this dirt.

I have to go home.
I haven't been there for years.

I'll let you go,
but first you must undress.

Let us wash you. Then we'll
be able to look at you longer.

Don't resist, cadet.

Now everyone can do everything.

Everybody is running from everything,
as far as they can.

Also from the royal chambers,

where we met in a sweeter life.

You know me?

The cadet I knew died long ago.

He died for sure. Otherwise we
wouldn't be giving performances

at his fianc�e's wedding.

What are you saying?

You said that a king set upon
the throne with a woman�s help,

and looking for pleasure
in a woman�s arms,

was the cause of decadence.
But the King treated you like children.

Yet what is decadence, cadet?

Weakness against evil,
or evil against weakness?

Leave him!
Let him go!

We would only fight because
of his beauty, anyway.

Wait here. Just a moment.
I'll be right back.

You made it!

The whole time I've been flying
back and forth between you and here...

You don't know
what hard work that is!

- It pains me!
- Listen!

Why did you set me free? Why are you
following me? You don't even...

That's a misunderstanding!
Don't think about me!

I'm not even here.
I'm not important. I'm like air.

You weren�t here all these years.
Many things have changed.

Easy! Easy!

It's my fault.
It's all my fault!

I'm a scoundrel, a villain!
Why do I show you all this?

Why do I do it?
What for?

What for?!

These are fashionable
patriotic dances.

This is how you dance on the grave
of an independent country.

Those are my friends.
I spent my youth with them.

Quiet! I didn't bring you here
to watch you get murdered.

So is this how you remember her?

No.

How then?

Tell me.

- Without that.
- Without that, right?

That is the fruit of her sinful love.

I have the right to show myself to her.

No! You can�t think only
of yourself!

Egoist!

Look, she is happy.

If you intervene,
you'll complicate a lot of things.

What's more, for her it would be...

What?

Dangerous.

You don't believe me!

Come, look!

In the name of the Father and the Son,
and the sainted martyrs,

I bless you all who have come
here for noble reasons,

to save our fallen
and hapless homeland.

To help you join
the sacrament of conspiracy,

and in the name of the
holy sacrament, I command you

to be witnesses to these lovers

who symbolize the sacrament
of marriage between you all

and our hapless homeland.

In the name of the Father, the Son,
and the Holy Spirit.

I take thee...
to stand by thy side...

and be faithful...

for better or worse...

for richer or for poorer...

as I take for my spouse...

the destiny and salvation
of my homeland...

to my last drop of blood...

and to my last breath...

in the church of the nation...

before the Supreme Being.

- Amen.
- Amen.

Jakub!

She very nearly saw you.

Soon you�ll be able to
reveal yourself to her.

I'm sorry. It's nothing.
Too much excitement for her.

- It was a ghost. Do you understand?
- No!

- Ghosts don't exist.
- No!

A ghost! A ghost!

A ghost. Do you understand?
It was a ghost.

A ghost.

Do you understand?

A ghost.

I hate to do this to you.

I shouldn't have.

It's an abomination.

An overwhelming abomination.

You sacrificed yourself for them,
and they�re mating like rabbits,

right before your eyes.

It disgusts me, Jakub.

It disgusts me.

They�re animals.

Among them, you are like...

Jesus.

You have the fiery sword,

to command with it.

Stop him!

Faster, faster!

I'm sick! Sick!

Show me some mercy!

You're the same as me!

I surrender to you!

Before the attack,

I feel like a young god!

Omniscient.

Father.

Father!

Master, your father is dead.

Dead.

He�s dead two weeks now.

The bullet took his scalp off.

He took his own life.

Your father is dead,
he�s dead!

You had a home, orphan!
You had a fianc�e!

You raised your hand against a king!

The Lord's anointed!

Be damned!

Oh, angels!
The Master and Mistress are coming.

It's my fianc�e�s room.

You can rest here.

Father lies there naked,
and you�re wearing his clothes!

Somebody had to! Otherwise
everything would go to ruin!

Your father started that fire
with his own hand!

- And who are you?!
- Ezechiel!

- You know me?
- I'm from the Confederates.

They warned me you might come.

Who are you waiting for?

For your sister.

Jakub?

Jakub!

They said that you were studying,
that you�d been beaten,

that you were dead. Jakub!

Where have you been, sister?

At the ball?

For a moment.
Only for a moment.

You won't beat me?

I�ve learned to find pleasure in beating.

What about our father?

Your father went crazy!
He went mad!

I told him you�d gone to England.

Ask her what he was doing with her!

Who are you anyway?!

I'm the one who�s supposed
to marry her!

Calm down!

When you reach the bottom,
you can bounce back.

What would redemption mean,
if there were no sin?

How otherwise could you stand
before the Savior?

You can ask Him to give you a place
in heaven, since you had hell on earth.

Come! We must bury Father.

This stench is poisoning the air
in the whole house!

I beg you!

Take her.

She won't let me go.

He used to sit under this tree.

- He read fairy tales to me.
- My father died a long time ago,

when I was born.

Under the banner of
the Mother of God,

they tried to repel
the enemy soldiers,

conquer the heretics,
eradicate foreign influences.

My father would say that he was
a citizen of the free world,

where all violence and revolution
is the work of criminals,

sullying the good that should be
the aim of everyone.

Your father considered himself
a citizen of the free world,

but the world is not free, Jakub.

The world is in bondage.

The weak are in bondage
to the strong,

the wise in bondage
to criminals,

the poor in bondage
to the rich,

and we all, midgets among midgets,
are in bondage to God.

So your father was weak.

Why didn't you bury him before?

I wanted to keep your house together.

To keep our sister from ending up
in the gutter.

What do you mean �our�?

I'm your brother, Jakub.
The son of your mother.

Mother? I have no mother.

She was never with us.
Understand?

She didn't want to be my mother.
She left us when I was a child.

And then she came back!
And I came with her.

- She raised me as a patriot.
- What?

According to your father,
our sister has the same body as hers,

so she is in our sister,

only younger,
and not dying of lust

and debauchery!

Did you want to kill me? Me?!

Or the Mother of God,
whom you killed inside you?

Ask him!

Ask him!

Answer me!

Answer me...

Countries can rot and vanish.
But traitors remain unharmed.

Cowards and criminals are always fine.
I can show you the way.

The future belongs to those
who can see ahead.

That's why you must
gain awareness.

Then the national question
shines out,

becomes what it is...

like distant polar lights.

You see, that's the whole truth.

I'm at your service,
I give you my time,

and you attack me

and leave me defenseless
in the forest.

Mother, Mother!

Mother! Mother!

Yes, I've heard a bit about her.

She alone has made a career.

How?

By using her brain.

Do you know how?

By prostitution.

Do you want to see her?

Yes. Yes!

Here's the route, and a horse.

You can't get lost.

What a surprise! We have a
beautiful young man visiting.

Oh, the young man's ruffled, unhappy,
experiencing a storm of feelings.

Perhaps he is in love
with one of my girls?

With you.

- With me?
- Yes.

I'm the oldest and ugliest one.

You can't be in love with me.

Please.

Girls, leave us.

Did you come to make fun of me?

Do you have a letter for me?

Money?

No.

Do you really like me?

Yes.

But it will cost you.

The greatest fortunes in this country
were ruined because of me.

No doubt.

Some would pay to be able to say

that they've spent one night with me.

- Are you like that?
- No.

Who are you?

Why do you look at me like that?

You're beautiful.

Come, then.

Come!

Come.

Give me pleasure.

Please.

Please.

Mother!

Mother...

We practice here.
This is our school, understand?

Here we have animals,
and there...

�that�s a man.

An instrument, a toy.

I need money.
So what do you prefer?

With him, so you can watch?
Or with you?

It�ll be much better
than with the old one.

All she has down there
is one big wound!

You're wasting your strength.

Where are you?!

Don't leave me alone now!

Where are you?

I need you!

I know nothing.

I won't tell.

No.

No.

Were you looking for me?

Yes.

Give me your hand.

Maybe I'll find help in you.

Maybe it will be as it used to be.

As it used to be...

It's too late, Jakub.

They call you Jakub the fool.

Jakub from the asylum.

Jakub the brainless.

Will you catch me, Jakub,
like you used to?

I'm sorry.

You knew that our mother
lives nearby?

Yes, I knew.

I knew it.

Do you want to see her?

Before his death...

Father would mistake me for her.

They came from the castle, asking questions.
I didn't know what to say.

Supposedly someone tried to kill
the Count during the night.

You're bleeding.

Yes.

The stench is still here.

Tell me now,

how did Father really die?

Your father set the estate on fire,
and shot himself with a silver bullet.

Do you know where
the bullet came from?

From the sugar bowl.

Why don't you kill me,
and end the suffering?

I can't, Jakub.

You are my brother.

You are a saint, Jakub.
A symbol.

And one day,

generations will weep over your name.

What have I done, that thou darest
wag thy tongue in noise

so rude against me?
- Such an act that blurs the grace

and blush of modesty,
calls virtue hypocrite,

takes off the rose from the fair forehead
of an innocent love

and sets a blister there,
makes marriage vows

as false as dicers' oaths.

Ay me, what act, that roars so loud,
and thunders in the index?

Mother, have you eyes?
Could you on this fair mountain

leave to feed,
and batten on this moor?

O shame! Where is thy blush?

Rebellious hell, if thou canst
mutine in a matron�s bones,

and excite her to such great lust!

These words, like daggers,
enter in mine ears.

O, speak to me no more,
sweet Hamlet!

To flaming youth let virtue be as wax,
and melt in her own fire.

A king of shreds and patches�

Save me, and hover o'er me with
your wings, you heavenly guards!

What would your gracious figure?

- Alas, he's mad!
- Do you not come your tardy son to chide,

that, lapsed in time and passion,

lets go by the important acting
of your dread command?

Do not forget: this visitation

is but to whet thy almost
blunted purpose.

But, look, amazement
on thy mother sits:

O, step between her and
her fighting soul,

conceit in weakest bodies
strongest works.

Speak to her, Hamlet.

How is it with you, lady?

Alas, how is't with you,

that you do bend your eye
on vacancy,

and with the incorporeal air
do hold discourse?

Forth at your eyes your spirits
wildly peep...

I came to take you home.

You don't have to.

Jakub, I'm rich now.

I'll be able to pay you back
for all you've done for me.

But you don't understand.
I'm asking you...

I want to take you home.

I can't.

I must tell you something.

When they took you and
sentenced you to death,

Father went to Warsaw
to beg for your pardon.

I was given in exchange to those
who had influence at court,

and finally to the King himself!

You did all this for me.

Watch out!

You�ll have to explain yourself,
Jakub!

Why?

We've already mourned for you.

I myself read of your death,

and now you come back
and frighten my wife.

Where is that which we promised
ourselves, brother conspirators?

Fidelity, courage and self-denial!

You haven't answered my question.

How did you escape from the convent
where you and Tomasz were held?

Nobody there survived.

Why did you come here?

You knew all along I was alive!

What is it you�re setting against me,
chief conspirator?

A whip and a bastard?

I came to take my property.

Arkan!

Take her out of here!

Tie him to a horse.

There's no evil in it!

No meanness!

People are weak...
You have to understand.

Life does not stand still.

Here it was that we promised
to save the People�s Republic.

Here�

That we would do all in our power!

Here! That we'd kill the King,
kidnap the ambassadors.

That we'd write a new constitution.
A fair constitution.

Here the choice fell on you,
on you and on Tomasz.

- You gave us away.
- Not a one.

They beat you, tortured you,
broke your arms�

Not a one!

You won't have what belongs to me!

I want the baby, her.
You won't take her away from me!

You're sick!
Jakub the madman!

I can't give her back to you.

There is a new conspiracy.
A revolution is coming, an uprising.

When your father changed,

I took her with me,
gave her a home...

�a name.

Jakub, I could be in your place,
and you in mine.

You would do the same thing.

You know that.

Do you want to kill me?

Before you do more evil...

Listen! You have to heal yourself.
I can't give her back to you.

I'll give you money.
You can go abroad.

Only let it go.
Let it go!

For the sake of our friendship
and her own good.

Let it go.

This is the real truth about you!

I love her.

You haven�t been with me lately.

You were doing just fine by yourself.

And now?

You�re getting weak. You don't believe
what I'm showing you.

What are you showing me?

That you are rejected.

That you sacrificed yourself
for nothing.

It wasn�t for nothing.

There is an empty circle around you,
filled with the stench of dead carcasses,

and then nothing but betrayal,
vow-breaking and futility.

Tell me.

When a woodcutter comes to the forest,
what must he do to get through it?

Cut it.

You said it.

This is the result.
Here lies all morality, all law!

When you kill, you leave only this trace.
For yours is the work of cleansing.

So do it!

I'm giving it to you.
It's yours.

All the sin that surrounds you.

- What do you want for it?
- No!

I have no time.

It takes too long for you
to see it all, Jakub.

There are other things I must attend to.

I'm busy making things happen,

trying to speed things up.

I'm worried we won't make it in time.

Where do we have to make it to?

Remember your mother?

What about her?

- There, you did what was expected.
- What?

You were cleansing.

Jakub!

Jakub!

I saved your life.

You can't do this to me.

Look!

Look!

Look, how much time and effort
I'm losing because of you!

Were you waiting for me?

Yes.

Why?

You are mad.

So what?

They say the same thing about me.

Why are you telling me this?

Do you like me?

Yes.

We. Together?

Yes.

I can't give you anything

besides myself.

Do you want to try?

Aren�t you afraid?

I want it.

Come to me.

This is my heart.

Drink it.

Try if it's good.

I'm cold.

What do you feel?

I don't feel dread or disgust.

What are your feelings?

Different than before.

Do you feel safe?

You are good to me.

Act it.

Act it out, the play.
The one you did at the castle.

Leave wringing of your hands:
Peace! Sit you down,

and let me wring your heart;

for so I shall, if it be made of
penetrable stuff, if damned custom

have not brass'd it so that it is proof
and bulwark against sense.

What have I done, that thou
darest wag thy tongue in noise

so rude against me?
- Such an act that blurs the grace

and blush of modesty,
calls virtue hypocrite,

takes off the rose from the fair forehead
of an innocent love

and sets a blister there,
makes marriage vows

as false as dicers' oaths.

Ay me, what act, that roars so loud,
and thunders in the index?

Mother, have you eyes?
Could you on this fair mountain

leave to feed,
and batten on this moor?

Mother, have you eyes?

You cannot call it love; for at
your age the hey-day in the blood

is tame, it's humble, and waits
upon the judgment.

Now I�ve done everything
the way you wanted it.

We wanted the greatest glory
for the Republic,

power over the magnates, equality for all,
the restoration of our borders.

This King was sinful, lazy,
he was kept on the throne

only because he was
the Czarina�s lover.

- I had to do it.
- The Turkish girl!

She ran after you...
and our Hamlet, too.

- They've been murdered.
- Murdered?

Who killed them?

The foreign army.

You're covered in blood.

Where have you been?

I killed them.

With this razor.

Go. Leave me alone with him.

You killed them.

Yes.

Come, I won't tell anyone.

Now I can't defend myself.

Don't defend yourself.
Your beauty will defend itself.

No.

Help me!

Help me!

You see? If I wasn�t here,
who would help you?

Tell me, who?!

It's you! You always get me into
things I can't get out of.

Who are you?

Who are you?!
Are you a madman?

- Are you insane?
- You know, as a matter of fact...

I always wanted to be a dancer.

My dear fellow...
you can't do that!

You have to be strong.

You have to survive the worst.

It was all a joke.

Without a sense of humor,
you won't achieve anything.

Be sober.

Remember - like a young god!

I am with you.

Run!

Run home!

Run home!

Today there was a ball again
at the castle.

He will want to kill you.

I told him I love you.

I'm popular among the boys!

I could have a different one
take me home every time.

It's delightful!

Enchanting!

Terrible!

Terrible.

Have you seen Mother?

What is she like?

- She is...
- That's what killed Father!

Her coming back.

She was here once, visiting,
and then he killed himself.

And...

What?

I can't tell you.

That idiot let you go twice!

They say you've been seen with
the jugglers who brought us weapons,

that you're staying in secret
at the castle,

that your shouting
can be heard in the forest!

What do you want?
What do you want with us?

Not him!

You visited Mother!

They found a dead girl
after you left.

How do you know that?

Mother brings us money and orders
from Warsaw.

What have you done?

Don't you see that I want to save her

from evil and debauchery?

- With beatings?
- Were you beaten at the castle?

Yes. We deserve a beating.

Don't kill him.
I'll do anything you want.

I'm an illegitimate child, Jakub,
a servant,

a nobody.

But I keep good and virtue within me.

And you, the righteous and heroic,
will perish!

Beneath the carcass of the old world!

And with these hands I shall build
you a monument.

And she...

she'll lie beside it,
in place of a wreath.

They...?

Who was it...?

You saw it...?

I was sleeping.

I'm so lost.

Terribly.

It's good not to have dreams,
to want nothing.

And the best is
to understand nothing.

Come on.

I shouldn't have taken you with me.

Go back where you came from.

Can't you see I'm being chased?

Go away.

Go!

Like a dog.

Like a dog!

If you want to be with me,
you have to be sinful like I am.

It grew back.

You are so stupid.

Those are blackberries.

There are no blackberries.
It's winter.

There are so many of them.

Don't you feel hungry?

Hungry?

Nearby there is a castle where
I used to play as a child.

We'll find it.
We'll be safe there.

- Want me to tell you how it was?
- Yes.

When I was going to kill the King,
I got a fever, and I was captured.

I wasn�t raised to kill.

I fainted on the threshold
of his bedroom.

And now...

Now we are together.

Together?

For the murderers,
for the mad ones,

for the ones burning in anger,

for those who want to shake off the
burden of the world's injustice,

for the pride of the humiliated,
for the bleeding ones,

for the weak and defeated,

for the ones who cannot cope,

for the murderers.

Blasphemy! Who are you,
if you'll agree to all that?

Were you with him, when he was
carrying them into the room?

Go away!

Go away!

Wait!

It's a trap.

Don't go there, please.

At last!

I ran away when they stopped
watching me so closely.

You knew I'd come here.

When they chase you,
when everybody is against you,

only here will you be safe.

Only we remember this place.

We can't stay here.

They are after you and me both.

They won't give us a chance.

Only here can we go back in time.

To the beginning.

We can cross out all the evil
that has been.

How?

Easily!

Easily!

I've prepared our old room.

Please, carry me.

What's wrong?

What is it?

Come! You must do something!

Jakub!

All sins...

must meet their punishment.

She won�t be born, either.

Everything happened
the way you wanted.

My thinking is simple,
for it complies with what is.

You're smarter than me.

But I suffer the same.

I know everything about you.

Because I live through it
as if it were happening to me.

Come.

I'll show you one more thing.

Come.

Please, go.

Go and see.

It's so funny that I can't be angry
with you any longer!

There was so much snow there.

I thought I would never find it.

My little girl.

My beautiful little girl.

You came to cause me pain again?

No, Madame.

Tell me about yourself.

When a person realizes
that he has run up against a wall,

he usually comes back to the places
where he used to be happy.

Especially when he gets paid for it.

Who pays you, Mother?

Someone pays.

I make a lot of money.

I can help you.

And you can avoid persecution.

The money you give to Ezechiel,
where is it from?

Come, I'll show you who is really who.

This is Jakub.
The murderer.

My son.

You see?

And this one... come!

This one was born to be
ambassador to a foreign power.

He is sick. Mentally impaired,
but strong and beautiful.

I brought him from far away,

so that he can give pleasure
to the richest people

and bring me the proceeds.

Today, before your eyes,
he will have

the one you want,
the way you want it.

Vote!

Girls!

See what I'm proposing to you?

This way you can avoid persecution.

If you perform in my circus,
you'll be safe.

And if you could murder someone
during the performance,

it would give the greatest pleasure
to this lascivious crowd.

He�s afraid to lose you.

- He's afraid of nothing.
- He�s a petty clerk,

they won't let him have
any bigger tasks.

He is waiting, Mother.

For what?

For the cleansing.

He's the one giving you money
for the conspiracy.

You can't be angry with money.

Why you, Mother?

Because I'm important,
not the rest of the world.

The fall never means anything,
Mother.

Only through the rise of powers

can we see where the light
is coming from.

You!

Mama...

Mama, Mama!!

Mama!

Why?

That's not important.

I'll mislead your pursuers,
and you wait for me by our tree.

I'll tell you then
what I want from you.

Depravation is when people live
by ideals that are not their own.

An even worse depravation is
when they stop protesting.

And the worst depravation
is passive consent.

That's why I dug him up for you.

Look how beautiful he still is.

He'll watch over you.

He won't allow you to go down
the path of sin.

Because you're only afraid of him.

Only his love frightens you.

Only in his deathly overwhelming love
do you realize who you really are.

I won't allow you to fall, sister.

We'll rise to the light together.

Until you get better.

- To arms!
- Until you get better.

To arms!

To arms!

Long live... !

Jakub, listen!
The uprising is coming.

We can arm the peasants.

We'll give them the land.

We can get rid of the invader.

We can establish the church
of national brotherhood.

Man should live nobly.

Even though he may not see
the reason for it.

Because in this confusion
of beauty and ugliness,

virtue and wickedness,

in which he must find himself,

he must remain on the side
of the noble

and the good!

What about the woodcutter?

What does he do to get through
the tangled branches?

He cuts.

You said it.

For... my son!

Why?

He is a murderer,
an arsonist and a spy!

I let you go.
I believed what you said.

Why her?

She loved you.

She was innocent like a flower.

Why?

I want you to fight a duel with me.

This is between you and me.

You said yourself that
we are interchangeable.

That we could switch places.

Master, I beg you!
He killed the emissary!

The whole conspiracy plan
is breaking down.

- Ezechiel?
- In the name of our old friendship.

In the name of the woman
we both loved.

Because I sacrificed myself for you,
without a word.

Please!

Let him go.

Guns!

Come to your senses!

Why do you hate me so much?

Because you�re so big.

Jakub.

Oh, God!

They will be here any minute.

I've prepared the paper, quill and ink.

What for?

I want you to give me the names.

What names?

The ones you didn't give away
under torture.

You know them all.

They�re the names of the people
you showed me at the ball.

Oh, I see.
So can you do something for me?

You see, Jakub.

This is the confirmation.

I want you to confirm...

that I...

�stopped the conspiracy
against the new government.

Sign it.

Do it.

Do it!

Sign it!

After what you've done,

what I'm asking of you is laughable.

Sign it!

Sign it!!

Sign it!

Is my signature so important?

What's not written doesn't exist.

Can I be of any help to you?

Take care of her.

- Anything else?
- Yes.

I want you to help me go up.

All right.

Tell me, does the world seem horrible
to me because of my illness,

or because it is really like that?

You ask me difficult questions.

You see, the world isn't horrible.

The world is beautiful.

You see,
it's full of flowers,

gardens...

fruits...

women...

I'm not able to describe it to you,

I have to dance it out.

Go away!

Don't talk to me like that.

You are close to me.

We are the same.

All right, but think about it.

Would you have given me the names
on the first day?

In your cage?

What names?

I didn't give you any names.

How sad it is to be a toy
in someone else's hands.

What's your name, little one?

Theodore.

Theodore, go back to God!

You behaved immorally.

You struggled with him as if
it was his soul you wanted.

But man doesn't have a soul, right?

Soul?

What soul?!
