SEKAL HAS TO DIE

How come he's not afraid of God?

Madam...

Your brother said you'll help me, mayor.

Go and get me cigars.

My brother?

Anybody could say that.

I'll help you,...

...but you won't tell a living soul
about my brother.

Who is going to stop
that bastard?

Two farms aren't enough?

He already has
Pavlica's and Barto�'s land.

If one wasn't enough,
why should two be enough?

Good evening.

Come...

Pavlica has died
in that concentration camp.

What did you expect?

The bastard is going
to gobble up the whole village!

- Praise the Lord, sir.
- Praise the Lord.

So when do we go
to the christening?

The wedding was a year ago!

What are you, lazy or something?

Your Dad here,
he chased them like a dog!

Cut it out, Vcelny!

- Take it easy...
- Cut it out...

...or I'll slap you
right across that big mouth.

Vcelny is right, Oberva. If you
didn't chase them like a dog,...

...we wouldn't be scared shitless...

...waiting for Sekal to
grab another farm.

- He is your son!
- He's a bastard is what he is.

- This is my son.
- It's true, Dad!

Why did you let him grow up
on our farm?

- This isn't getting us anywhere.
- Out!

What's done is done.

Now we have to find a way
to save ourselves from Sekal.

He has to die.

He can't swallow the whole
county. Maybe he has enough.

Did you see
Pavlica's farm lately?

It used to be the nicest
property around. But today...

Once the war ends,
he'll give it back...

Not Pavlica's life, he won't.

Who knows
when the war is going to end?

And how?

Who is going to kill him?

We are too old. But nearly
everybody here has a son...

You have a daughter.

Who am I going to pass my farm...

...on to if they hang my son?

But what are you going to pass
on, if the bastard grabs it?

We don't know who, but we have
to find somebody to do it.

Because one thing is for sure.
Sekal has to be killed.

We'll have a good harvest,
won't we?

There will be good money, right?

The war keeps rolling on
and the soldiers need bread.

You're trampling down the wheat!
A good farmer doesn't do that.

Especially now
that you're selling this field.

What do you mean?

decided I'll buy
this whole field from you.

I'll buy everything
bordering me.

I don't want to sell!

You have to. I need this field.

- Swine...
- Be glad I don't want everything.

Bastard!

Are you going to sell?
- Let's talk after the harvest.

This takes time, Sekal.

Agreeing to a price,
writing a contract...

The contract is already written.

If that gelding winds up lame,...

...I'll run you right back
where you came from!

Did you hear what I said, hillbilly?

When did we become friends,
retard?

Adesto domine,
supplicationibus nostris...

Amen.

Good morning.

That's the farmers' table.
You need a farm to sit there.

- Give me slivovitz.
- We drink rye here.

So give me some.

That's Sekal's table.

So you're the new blacksmith?

How come you're not in church?

I'm Protestant.

If you stay by that table,
Sekal will punch in the mouth.

Watch your own mouth.

You can't run away from me.
You'll be mine anyhow.

I always loved you, but...

...you were a farmer's daughter,
you couldn't dance with me.

But we're equal now.
I own a farm too.

- I always wanted you.
- But I never wanted you.

- Don't be stuck up.
- But I am married.

Married to young Oberva?
Is that all you want?

- My parents chose him for me.
- You married a farm.

But I have two farms now. And
I can have as many as I want.

- And I am going to have you too.
- You're not going to have me.

Never!

You'd better think it over.

Welcome.

They didn't tell you
this is my table?

What else is yours around here?

Get up.

Not in here, boys!
Not here, go outside!

Why not here?

Is that his?

I could just as easily piss
all over you, hombre.

Come on.

Good morning.
- Praise our Lord Jesus.

What do you need?

You should answer: Forever more,
amen. But you are a Lutheran.

Protestant. I'm Czech brethren.

These are bad times.
People steal.

We need bars
on the sacristy window.

You have to measure the frame.

Praise the Lord.

It's nice of you to come.
I'm father Flora.

My name is Baran. Jura Baran.

Mr. Ram. It's an appropriate
name for a Protestant.

Where is that window?

He can do his job
from the outside.

Marie... Please...

I don't need to be here
for this.

He got you pretty good.
Doesn't it hurt?

What is that bar supposed
to look like?

Well, it has to fit in here.

You'd better stay away from him.
He's a wicked person.

But he's a good Catholic,
isn't he? He goes to church.

Going to church
doesn't make you good.

What are you running away from?

Who said I was running away?

It's as if you dropped from the
sky, with nothing but bare hands.

Would you like
me to go to a confession?

No.

I wouldn't know how.

You should really watch out
for Sekal,...

if you're afraid of anything,
or afraid for somebody.

You must have
a family somewhere.

I'll have it done in a few days.

- Goodbye.
- May God be with you.

If you ever get lonely,
stop by for a few words.

This will heal everything.
The morning herb.

- Well, thank you.
- Your teeth wouldn't fall out

if you said:
May the Lord repay you.

The Lord doesn't repay anybody.
We have to pay him.

Lutheran! Lutheran!

Let's go spit on the Lutheran,
he was laid by the devil's hen!

Lutheran! Lutheran!

Anybody home?

I came because of you, Anezka.

The men went for the feed.
I know you're alone.

So what? I don't care about you,
do you understand?

It's a genuine pearl. For you.

From the heart.
It was incredibly expensive.

I really do love you.

- I always loved you.
- But I never loved you.

But you were so...

You treated me nice.

I treated you properly.

I know you like me anyway.

So I'll tell you!
You disgust me!

No!

I treated you properly,
because that's how I am!

I didn't call you bastard
like the others,

but I knew you were one.

And that's all you'll ever be,
even if you own all these farms.

You stole them anyway.

You're a bastard and a murderer!

You shouldn't have said that.

You just try it.

Stinky...

Don't cut his throat!

Till he signs my contract.

That bastard ran him over.
His leg is broken.

My father said that blacksmiths
know how to fix animals.

So do something, will you!

So what about your dog? Is he
a Catholic or a Protestant?

I'm not signing this.

You have to lick that pencil.
Go ahead and lick it...

Because I'd be left with
half my land.

My son is supposed to marry
the mayor's girl.

- But she's so ugly.
- If my farm is smaller than his,

he won't give
his daughter to my son.

Well, good for him.
She looks like a frog.

Frog or no frog,
she'll inherit the mayor's land.

This is true.

Well, sign here, so we can go
and drink to this...

I won't.

Half the farm is better
than nothing.

- No.
- As you wish...

Will the Germans forgive that
you hadn't turned in your rifle?

But I don't have any rifle.

Once they find it behind
the eaves, you're done for.

Did you know that Pavlica has
died in that concentration camp?

Yeah...

The word "bastard,"
do you know what it means?

Well, that's when somebody
is born out of wedlock.

Like Sekal and like Stinky.
And it's a sin.

- What do you call this dog?
- Devil.

Devil...

So I could be
his godfather then, huh?

May Lord repay you.

You're going to hell
one day anyway!

Unless I'm already there...

The money first. It says here
I get the money when I sign.

You'll get it after the harvest.
Stinky is your witness, right?

That's right. For you
I'll testify anytime, Ivan.

Chicken shit...

What's the big idea
with contracts?

It's time to start acquiring
property in an honest way.

You really are a bastard, Ivan.

Ivan!

Morning herb for your wounds.
They'll stop hurting.

Give us a bottle of rye.

Why is it so dead in here?

Everybody was here.
Then Vcelny showed up...

...and told them something and
they all started slipping out.

The old Oberva went first
and the others followed.

Good evening.

- Good evening.
- Rye?

Hey, hombre! Blacksmith!

- How about a drink with me?
- No.

Let's go to bed.

It's too late
to come up with any ideas.

What about that new blacksmith?

But Sekal
already whipped him good.

But the blacksmith was drunk.
He fought Sekal tough.

And why should he do this?
What does he care about us?

He is right. Why should
the blacksmith want to do this?

- We'll pay him.
- Would you kill a man for money?

Are you going to wait
till Sekal takes your land?

The blacksmith
doesn't have any land.

He can't handle Sekal...

- Unless we get him a rifle.
- Forget that.

You can't tell a perfect
stranger to go and kill a man.

We have to keep on looking.

What do you want here?
Go away.

Let me stay just for today.

Just for a while.

And what would I do with you?
What can you offer me, Oberva?

Let me be with you.

You're my wife.
Before God...

Before God, it would be a sin.

Why don't you love me?

I wanted a child from you.

Since I have to be with you.
Since I have to live here.

So I could have somebody
here to love.

What would I do with you when
you'll just drool all over me

and I'll just count my days
for nothing. You'd better go.

Blacksmith! Lutheran!

You know how to fight! But don't
start anything with me again.

The next time, I'll kill you.

Or I'll kill you.

Don't be scared,
come and have a drink with me

If you sit by my table,
you have it good.

So how many people
sit by your table?

Come in.

Good evening.

I'm glad to see you.

You told me to come
when I get down.

Take a seat, please.

No, I just... Maybe if you could
loan me something to read...

But of course.

If you have something
that's not too Catholic...

Maybe I can read
in the evening...

You wind up pouring
liquor down your throat.

So let's sit down, shall we?

The Ritz slivovitz. Very fine.

I bet it's from my county.

It's aged three years.

I keep thinking
about that confession of yours.

No matter what I've done, you'll
just tell me how much to pray

and everything is all right?

So what about somebody
like Sekal?

- Does he go to confession?
- He does.

So how many prayers
do you give him

for grabbing property
by turning the farmers in?

One of them has died
in a camp now, so he killed him

But then he prays a little
and it's all right again?

No.

The purpose of the holy
confession lies elsewhere.

It's a movement toward
repentance, toward forgiveness.

Did he even tell you he did it?

Does he even tell the truth
in his confessions?

Even if he didn't,
I know his deeds.

How long have you been here
and you know everything too.

Not everything.
I do know he's a swine of a man.

It's not easy to judge him.

By what he did it is.

He's as disgusting as an ulcer.

Do you have a son, Mr. Baran?

And I pray for him too!

Would that it were enough...

Who do you have in here
for God's sake?

And you're drinking again,
for the wounds of Jesus!

Don't take God's name in vain!

You know
drinking is bad for you!

It may be bad for my liver,
but it's good for me.

How about shearing off
that wool, Mr. Ram?

How come you're not in school,
short stuff?

Lutheran! Lutheran!

Let's go spit on the Lutheran!
He was laid by the devil's hen!

Quit it!

- I can take care of myself!
- I know that.

I only wanted to tell you that
you can take that off him now.

Do you have a knife?

Grandpa said
you're not such a bad guy.

- Nice knife.
- It's good for throwing.

Really?

Go and get me cigars.

It's the contract for Vcelny's
field. Take care of it.

Let them book it
in the county maps.

How is your brother doing?
Has he been heard from yet?

No, he hasn't been.

I don't know a thing about him.

It would be good
if you signed it as a witness.

Stinky has signed it, but
two witnesses are always better.

- But that's not possible.
- Vcelny isn't going to mind.

No, that would really...

You better sign it, mayor!

I wanted to ask you. Where did
the blacksmith come from anyway?

He heard we have no blacksmith
here, so he came.

But I'm told he's good.

I heard.

I'm thinking
I should get married.

He said it has to be worked out,
once and for all.

He is your son,
you can't deny that.

He is your older brother.
First-born...

...with the birth right to the farm!
If you wanted to deny it, then...

But he doesn't want to go
against his own family.

He isn't that big a bastard.

He said he'll give up
his birth right.

But he won't do it for nothing.

- How much?
- A bowl of lentils won't do it.

He wants for Anezka to come
and stay the night.

Bastards!

- What do you want?
- My name is Koukol.

I'm a farmer here.
And this is my grandson.

This is for that dog.

Koukol doesn't owe
anything to anybody!

But you didn't have to.

We don't need any favors
from you.

Go ahead, tell him...

You're going to hell
one day anyway!

I see, so you reckon that...
This has nothing to do with you?

What are you, holy?
Are you just?

Are you so pure this
isn't going to touch you?

You think you'll stay
immaculate...

You'll be screaming.
Like an old whore,

that's how it's going to hurt.

You'll bloat up with disgust,
you'll never wash it off!

Don't stare at me. You don't
have to be scared of me.

Just go on and pray, you nun.

If I am not good enough for you,
then you'll get somebody better.

You'll get a bigger tail than
a horse has. Fat as a sausage.

Stinky! Get up!

What...

- Go!
- What is it?

What are you doing, boys?

A fairy!

He'll do it,
because he'll have to.

I asked him to come.

Well...

Blacksmith...

Don't you know, what my name is?

My name is Jura Baran. I don't
know what you want from me,...

...but if you won't treat me
as an equal,...

...then I might as well go.

Mr. Baran, you will have
to do something for us.

- I will have to?
- You will have to.

You will have to kill Sekal.

Are you out of your minds?
Or am I?

Did I hear this right?

- Do you know who Sekal is?
- That I know.

- And what he's doing here?
- Why Anezka has killed herself?

And that he's been turning us in
to the Germans

and grabbing our land?

Doesn't a bastard like that
have to be killed?

That's your problem.
Your trouble.

True. But we had to look for
someone who is going to do it.

Keep looking.

We know you had been helping
the partisans.

The Germans have a reward
on your head.

You were the only one
who knew it, mayor.

If you think about running away,

we also know where
your wife and your child are.

This isn't how
I imagined it at all.

You're all acting
just like Sekal.

Judas...

We don't care how you do it,
but it has to be done soon.

By the time the moon is full.

We're ready
to pay you well for it,...

...but I reckon
you wouldn't take money.

It's a straightforward
transaction.

If you kill Sekal,
you will live.

Instead of the Lord,
you have a stick of wood.

Give him a tongue bath
and pray away!

Well,
it's the way of the world...

I'd like to help you, son.
I have a rifle hidden at home.

Do you know what?
Stay out of my business.

- And I'll stay out of yours.
- It could come in handy.

That time in the tavern,
that bastard...

You're a bastard yourself.

What more do you want, Father?

- Am I here? I am!
- That isn't enough, son.

I said I broke all the
commandments coming and going.

All of them?

If I missed something,
I'll cover it later.

So now I confessed. Now you
tell me how many prayers I need.

You should pray
from morning to night.

It still wouldn't be enough.

You don't trust me either,
do you?

Can a bastard
go to heaven anyway?

You won't be judged
for who you are,

but for how you act, son.

All right, padre,...

...so how many prayers is it today?

I am afraid it's you who is
giving up on yourself, son.

Go and pray. Just promise me
one thing at least.

That you'll think about words
like humility, regret,...

...and repentance.

It's good that you came.

Come, let's pray for her.

And for you as well.

Fuck off, mother!

I am going to have a beer
with you, my friends!

Well, what are we,
if we're not friends? Allies?

- Bring a beer for Mr. Baran.
- We mean well...

In rough times, decent folks
have to stick together.

But you're not decent folks.

You're the same swine
like that bastard is.

Oh, what do we have here,
Stinky? Mr. Ram among the sheep.

We should pull his teeth out,
so he eats off our hands.

You're just about through
pissing me off...

Well, how are my little sheep...

Are you baking that cake yet?
And order some good wine too!

I want good wine at my wedding.

You haven't told them
about it yet?

I'll soon be walking the mayor's
daughter to the alter?!

She is as ugly as a frog.

But the mayor's farm is pretty.
So I'm inviting everybody.

And I'll remember it if somebody
doesn't show up at my wedding!

And you will be my best man.

You're my only friend in the
whole world. I have only you.

- It's as if you were my son.
- I'm short enough, ain't I?

I'll take care of you
like you were, Stinky.

I pass everything
on to you, son.

If I am going
to have three farms,...

then why shouldn't you
have at least one?

Just to piss them all off!

Which farm do you want?
Take your pick, son.

A nice night, isn't it?

- You came to see me?
- Yes.

So come inside.

Why don't we stay out here?

I have nothing to offer you.

I have a brother in the South.

You give him this letter and
he'll hide your whole family.

He has a cellar full
of good wine.

They're holding me by the neck,
Father.

You have to run, son.

If I were alone, yes.
But my son isn't two yet.

My wife isn't in great health,
she's eight months pregnant.

Are you going to kill him?

How could I just stab
a man in the back...

Thou shalt not kill...
We have the same commandments.

But what about an executioner?

A good man,
who is only doing his job.

Is he going to go to heaven?

Yes. He gives the Man's justice
to the wicked.

You don't believe that yourself.

I'm looking for a way
to justify. I want to help you.

I'll take care of myself.

The worst of it is that
I want him to die.

Oh, God, how could you have
created such a beast...

That wasn't God,
the people did that.

He's Oberva's son.
What about the barber?

He's Koukol's son.

So it's a kind of a custom
around here...

Bring me a little water.

You know
how mean children can be.

Sekal gave as good as he got.
He went to reform school.

He was in jail a few times, he
joined the army, he disappeared.

He came back with the Germans
and started to take his revenge.

What about his mother?

Oberva essentially raped her.
She had her own cross to bear.

- The bastard's mother...
- And Sekal?

He hates her.

Well, that's it.

He acts like a beast,
because he is a beast.

It's evil.
And evil has no weak spots.

Do you know what would help me?

If he wanted to kill me.

So may God be with you.
Good night.

Take this with you.

Maybe you'll need it after all.

I won't. Unfortunately.

But I thank you all the same.

You're a decent person.

Baran!

Sekal does have one weak spot.
He was in Spain in thirty six.

He fought against
his Nazi friends there.

- Get the hell away!
- Wait!

Stop!

Come here, come on!

Salud, padre.

- It's a little bachelor party.
- That's exactly why I came.

There will be no wedding. You're
through carrying on like this.

You'll return Vcelny's contract...

...and start to live
like a God-fearing person.

It's never too late
to straighten out.

Quit shitting in your mouth!

So what can I give you to drink?

Some milk?

Here, padre,
have a sip of milk.

Bla'ka, give him a shot.

Cut it out!

or I'll slap you so hard you'll
soil your pants, you shit!

Sit down, pontiff.

I was serious about what I said.
Your time is coming.

The blacksmith
knows you were in Spain.

Who told him about it?

He doesn't want to turn you in,...

...but you heard the conditions.

- Are you going to do it?
- Who said I was?

I'm not begging for him,
maybe he really isn't worth it.

Forgive me, Lord...
I beg you for myself.

It's because of me
that you can't do this.

Go away, please.

How long do I have left here?

And what kind of a life
did I have?

It hurt so much
and he stank so vile.

One moment of disgust,
pain, and blood...

...and I've been paying
for it all my life...

- Madam...
- You must not do it, sir!

I don't know
what you're talking about.

For the living God I beg you!
I'll pray for you till I die.

Have mercy on me, sir!

Why do you beg
so for such a swine?

He is my son.

Are you his mother?

So it's blood again...

Virgin Mary, don't make me hold
a dead son in my arms like you...

The others get love from their
children at least, but me?

Why did I have to bear
such a serpent? Why, God?

Had I been possessed
by the devil?

Pray for us, oh, Mother of God,
save him, Lord Jesus!

Don't kill him, I beg you!

I'll pray for him
and he'll change...

Please,
have pity on my suffering...

Be careful over here,
I have a pimple there.

The old sap's rising.

You should get married again.

I still don't get it why
that poor girl killed herself.

Somebody must have done
her harm, what do you think?

Mind your own business, Stinky!

I'm not going to be Stinky
for much longer around here!

That goes for everybody!
My name is Josef Lia!

Halt!

- How could you have told him?
- He wants to kill you.

- To kill me?
- They hired him.

Don't ever do that again! Next
time, I'm not halting my horses!

Don't ever talk to me like that,
you bastard!

So you finally said it.

I'm a bastard
to you just like to everybody.

They were only making fun of me,
but you hated me!

Yes, I am a bastard. But what
does that make you? A whore!

I may be a whore,
but I am still your mother...

Who turns her own son in?

I shit on a mother like that!

A Lutheran making
a Catholic cross?

The nice music in your church
was composed by a Lutheran too.

- Bullshit.
- What do you want?

I want you
to sharpen this knife.

- Fine steel.
- It's from Toledo, Spain.

So let's go. Come on.

You're not going to spy on me!

Get lost before
I break your balls!

So what kind of a knife
do you have?

Did you make it yourself?
It looks good.

It's good enough.

- What else do you want?
- What are we going to do?

- Well...
- How much did they promise you?

I know you they're paying you.

If I wanted to,
I'd top their offer.

But I don't care to.

Did you ever kill anybody?

- No.
- You think you can handle it?

I can handle you.

For that you need cojones.
Los cojones.

That means balls.

You fought with the Reds
in Spain?

And now I'm with the Nazis.
And so what?

They're the same sons
of bitches. A swine is a swine.

Once we took a village
where the Phalange had been.

San Corazon. No figs
under the trees, just stiffs.

The women ripped open, the men
with their balls cut off.

The children too.

The flies crawling
over everything,

the dogs sitting around.
They were shaking and howling.

Well, so we did the same thing.

Whoever had survived
in that village was the enemy.

So we lined them up with
those bodies under the trees.

We threw their balls to the dogs,
but the dogs didn't want them...

Children too?

But not all of them. We turned
a few of them into Reds.

We carved five-point stars
right on their backs.

They looked nice and red
while bleeding.

Then we got drunk and screwed
the nuns in the monastery.

But they weren't much to talk
about. Frigid digits.

First it was fuck, fuck...
And then it was cut, cut...

Did you go to confession
with this?

I'm confessing it now to you.

Father Flora would go crazy.

- Did you see any bullets there?
- I cut out in time.

And crossed the line
to the Nazis.

No. I only did that here.
But they don't own me.

Sekal only does
what is good for Sekal.

You truly are a bastard.

I know.

Well, the glass is empty,
let's go.

Do you know why I've told you
all these things?

Because you'll take my secret
to the grave with you.

How about midnight tonight?
By the cross.

I'll be there.

Very nice. What do we owe you?

It's the other way around.

You can give this money
to my wife in case...

Yes. Should I tell her anything?

Why? She knows me well.

So goodbye, Father.

There's one thing
you must let me do.

Don't worry, Father.

If you knew
what I know about Sekal,...

you'd know that if I kill him,
I am going straight to heaven.

God be with you, Jura Baran.

God be with you.

Maybe this drinking
does you good, Father,...

...but it's bad for your liver!

Pack up my things, Marie.

I am taking
the midnight train to the town.

- What about the morning mass?
- There won't be one.

Did something happen?

I have to go to a confession.

It hurts something fierce.

Get the horses ready!
He has to go to the doctor!

Let's go!

Is he dead? Did you kill him?

Forget that horse
and come and help them!

- Carefully...
- So let's go!

And put something
under his head.

- Wait. Turn around...
- Mayor!

What do you want here?

Sekal's will.
He gave everything to me.

Come back tomorrow.
There's no time for this now.

I'll come back, mayor,...

I'll come back.

So what are we waiting for now?
He needs a doctor fast!

- No.
- He'll bleed to death.

What about when they find Sekal?
Does anybody think

the Germans won't beat it out
of him, why he killed Sekal?

- Who put him up to it?
- Who knows if he's still alive.

I'm not going to allow this!

You don't have any say in this.

This is worse than murder!
