A gas bil l, my lord.

Any news, Adam?

- Everything is all right.
- Thank you.

Good-bye.

- Two beers, please.
- l'm paying.

- lt's urgent.
- l' l l deliver it immediately.

Skowronek!
Open the door.

But don't play any tricks.

Good afternoon.

- ls my costume ready?
- lt will be ready in a week's time.

Good-bye.

Give it to me.
Give me the message.

She hasn't brought one this time.

- Where is it?
- ln the vest.

Get to work now. Your clients
are not supposed to notice anything.

A great success.

Yesterday the submarine U-27 8
torpedoed. ..

a part of the convoy sailing
to Arkhangelsk.

l've read it.

What shal l we do with the undetected
radio station, lieutenant?

You will try to detect it.

lt's not so easy.

They transmit regularly every
Tuesday but at different hours.

Besides the transmition duration
is too short.

We have to find the system.

They certainly transmit
according to some time scheme.

We know that they operate
in a square 400 by 400 yards.

But there are nine streets,
and a number of many-storied
buildings.

Please remember that the system
is most important.

Hello, Delivery Service.
Bula speaking.

l'd like to transport two tons of coal.

What is the address?

All right.

Did you send the message
about the submarine U-27 8?

Of course.

Yesterday this submarine destroyed
the convoy sailing to Arkhangelsk.

This is information
from the Abwehr internal bul letin.

Maybe they had some problems.

Check if the information reached
the headquarters: it's very important.

O.K. What else?

The radio station
is safe for the present.

They still can't make out what
the time system of transmitting is.

Have a seat.

Would you like some noodles?

Yes, please.

Any success?

l'd rather say: progress,
Standarterfuhrer.

We've ascertained that Stanislava
Zarebska is in touch with Adam
Pruhnal.

- Do you think he is that J-23?
- Rather not.

The type of information
conveyed by J-23...

suggests that he is one of the best
informed persons.. .

- that he has connections with the
army.
- What?!

We've decoded his last report
informing about the success of the
submarine. ..

U-27 8. And the last official report
to Wermacht does not mention that.

lt's interesting. Sit down, please.

Do you have any particular
person in mind?

Not yet. But l assume that Pruhnal
will lead us to the next link.

He works as a gas-works collector.
His district is in the centre of the city.

lf he is in touch with someone. ..

it's enough to find out where he
col lects payments four times a
month. ..

Because the reports of J-23 come
regularly once a week.

Or may be we should simply
arrest this col lector.

Then we'd catch little fish only
and the big fish would escape.

And he is really dangerous,
Standartenfuhrer.

- So get to work.
- Yes, sir.

Will you have a drink with me?

Thank you.
l haven't seen you for quite a while.

You are lucky here on the home front.

l keep being transferred
from one place to another.

Do you know how many of our men
get killed in Yugoslavia?

And tomorrow l' m being sent
to the East front.

We wil l certainly conquer
new territories. You will be needed.

l'd rather be needed at a place
more distant from Bolsheviks.

You are exaggerating.

Anyway you'd better hold your
tongue.

Hello, Neumann.

Any news? Do you already have
the system of that radio station?

There are some problems, lieutenant.
Gestapo has hired some of our men.

Stedtke is organizing a great
operation.

They are going to check
the whole district.. .

those who use electricity, gas,
or something like that.. .

That's interesting. Don't you know
which district he is interested in?

Do you think it will work?

l don't trust those Gestapo men who
specialized in catching petty thievs. ..

and now they play the role of
counter-espionage super agents.

lt seems you underestimate Stedtke.

This game lasts too long.

You keep wasting time over papers
while J-23 is still active.

Their headquarters may finally
realize we're sending them false
information.

We both want to catch a big fish but
the method you've chosen leads to
nothing.

There are some problems,
Stanartenfuhrer.

No apartment was visited even twice
by the col lector during the last month.

The spy network is concealed better
than we thought.

- But that's only a matter of time.
- But we are short of time, Stedtke.

That's why l have to precipitate
the course of events.

l have an idea.

lt's quite risky however.

Suppose we summoned J-23 by
the radio station at Skowronek's. ..

to a meeting with a representative
of his headquarters.. .

so that he could be given
some secret instructions.

You have brains, Stedtke.

May l?

- Yes, certainly.
- Thank you.

- What place is this?
- Don't worry.

l always come here,
as Vitalis Kazimirus. ..

a consultant for the affairs of
the occupied Lithuanian territories.

These are very good papers.
Now, l'm listening to you.

l've been summoned by the
headquarters.

l know that.
l decoded the message myself.

You are to wear a flower
in a buttonhole.

How are you going to do that?

l' m just thinking about
this buttonhole and this flower.

- lt doesn't smel l good to me.
- Do you think it's provocation?

That's exactly what l think.
Do you trust your men?

- l have no reason not to trust them.
- l' l l go there.

- Wait for the message in your office.
- Al l right.

Excuse me.

- Thank you. Good-bye.
- Good-bye.

Kloss!

- Sit down, please.
- Thank you.

Any news?

You wil l learn soon.

- What would you like to drink?
- No, thank you.

Excuse me.

They know our radio station
and the code.

- For how long?
- For at least three weeks.

Well. ..

after our message about the
submarine hadn't reached our folks.. .

- we could have expected that.
- The headquarters may stop trusting
me.

Come on. You've been working
for them for so long.

Exactly. l've been working for so long
that it's high time l made a slip.

And if l got caught then
l could have turned traitor.

Noone can suspect you.

You never know.

Have you noticed that boy
with a beret following you?

This is my guard.

Suppose you are not to be taken
into account.

l have a system. Four apartments
and four different names.

- l guess it isn't Pruhnal either.
- ls it your contact?

The only one. l'm not in touch with
anyone else although l know them.

In case of troubIe they're to report to
the iIIage administrator in Skrzeszow.

Pruhnal. ..

is a gas-works collector.
He is constantly on the go.

You immediately have to warn him
that he is probably being observed.

Accidentally l learnt that Stedtke
is preparing some big operation.

He is particularly interested in
gas-works collectors.

But before Pruhnal disappears, l want
to send one more message in the
usual way.

Are you crazy?
The radio station is uncovered.

That's it. l want to
keep Stedtke busy for a few days.

You wil l inform them that J-23
couldn't come to the meeting.. .

because on that day he had
a business trip to Szczecin.

You wil l ask them to state the place
and the time of the next meeting.

Next you will have to diappear,
reach Stafan and explain everything.

l must have new people and
establish new system of
communication.

l'm not coming back, am l?

No, you aren't.
You have to change the climate.

You are still here?

- Delivered?
- Everything is in order.

Not real ly. The chief declares
the state of emergency.

Leave this place without being
noticed. You'd better not take your
coat.

- Do you think we are being
observed?
- For a long time.

But don't panic.

That cabman is a spy.
l' ll take care of him.

See you.

Stop here.

A little farther.

You know, l have
a heavy parcel to carry.

- Will you help me?
- No problem.

Hands up!

Lieutenant Neumann.. .

l've had a look at your reports.

Have you noticed the last transmittion
was on 1 8th at 1 8 hours?

Do you think, lieutenant that it has
any relevance to the matter?

How can l tel l?
But think it over, please.

Tomorrow is Tuesday - their
transmittion day.

lf you are succesful
you have seven days off.

Stedtke?

That's too much.
How dared you to arrest my
secretary?

As you know, J-23 said that last
Tuesday he had gone to Szczecin on
buissness.

lt confirms our original supposition
that he is German or someone who
is...

in the German service. That's why all
who were in Szczecin last Tuesday...

had to be arrested.
And since Miss l lza.. .

l sent her there myself.

lf l wre you l'd try very hard
to catch that J-23.

Liutenant, l'm afraid you' l l have to
plead for me about my leave.

Have you found the system?

Look, it was incredibly easy.
lt was enough to look at the calendar.

But l must loyally admit
that it was your suggestion.

Are these transmittion hours?

No, these are the moonrise
and moonset hours.

One week the transmittions were
at moonrise and next week at
moonset.

That's why the transmittion time
kept changing.

Congratulations. And what time is
the moonrise today?

- At 1 8.47.
- So let's phone the chief.

Scharffuhrer Wunsch from SD.

Heinz.

Don't move.

What the hell is going on here?

l' m fol lowing the orders
of my commanders.

Thank you, Neumann.

Lieutenant Kloss.. .
do you know what you've done?

Why, was the radio station
under your control?

You guessed that a bit too late.

Neumann's section has been trying
to detect it for a long time.

- But we were the first to do that.
- But you were not inform Abwehr.

Will ever stop treating your service
as if it was your private bussiness?

Where is the tailor?

At first you did make some success.
You found the enemy radio station.

But l told you already then that
it is necessary to arrest Skowronek.

Our men would have
certainly made him speak.

But you preferred to use
your own methods.

German-occupied Poland isn't a
place for your methods to be
employed, Stedtke.

You approved that plan,
Standartenfuhrer.

Skowronek agreed to misinform his
headquarters at the cost of his life.

But J-23 is still acting.

- And he will go on acting.
- That incident with Abwehr...

That's enogh.
You should have anticipated that.

Now, it's necessary to destroy
the rest of the network. ..

that is to arrest
the waitress and the col lector.

They must know something about
J-23.

Unfortunately, Standartenfuhrer. ..
it's impossible.

- They have disappeared.
- What?!

We've managed to ascertain that
Pruhnal got on a cab with our agent.

The agent has been found
dead in a claypit.

They must have noticed
they were under observation.

l can see that the climate of Cracow
doesn't do you good. l'm going to.. .

have you transferred to the East
Front. You wil l be more useful there.

- But, Standartefuhrer. ..
- Get out!

Try to get rid of the gun. There is
a chance but you have to be quick.

Move to the back - there is
a cellar window behind me.

You go first.

l want to pass through.

l've got an order
not to let anyone through.

- l've got something important to do.
- lt's forbidden.

- Even for officers?
- Even for officers.

- What about him?
- He is sleeping.

He's been working his way to
the meeting-point for three days.

Adam. ..

Listen, Adam. There is a task
for you and the other boys.

- Railroad again?
- No. We are going to have.. .

guests from the sky. You will prepare
and secure the landing place.

Put out the fire.

Hel lo!

- l didn't expect you so soon.
- The situation is bad.

lf the situation is such as you say. ..

it means that the radio station
must have been taken over much
earlier.

We've been receiving
false information for six weeks.

But the radio station has been
working only for our agent J-23.

l seems impossible.

Of coures it doesn't have to be J-23.
Though the evidence is against him.

lt may be someone else.

l have all of them here.
Except Jozef and Romek.

And J-23.

Cal l them one by one.

- Haven't you seen Stasia?
- She is standing under the tree.

You are to report to Stefan.

- O.K.
- But right away.

So how was it?

You claim that it was Adam
who warned you?

Yes.

- He told you that you were observed.
- He told me to run away.

We were to meet at the station
in Plaszow and he did wait for me
there.

And at Skowronek's everything
was as usual?

Didn't you notice anything
suspicious?

lf anything was wrong there was to be
no curtain in the window.

l checked that: the curtain
was in the right place.

Do you know J-23?

No, l don't.

You said you know
Adam and Skowronek.

And is the name Podlasinsky
known to you?

lt's some cousin of Adam's.
He is a pensioner.

He has been to the restaurant
several times.

Good. ..

Stasia really didn't know anything
about Podlasinsky. She thinks he is
my uncle.

When did he inform you about the
state of emergency?

- Last Tuesday.
- Did he say you were observed?

He told me to flee and take the girl
if l trusted her.

After all l had no reason
not to trust her.

But first he asked me to send
one more message, didn't he.

- Did he say anything about its
content?
- No. l always received coded texts.

- What do you want from me?
- The radio station got taken over.

Do you know what it means?
Someone ratted.

But not me.

lf l were a Gestapo agent
l would have ratted Podlasinsky.

After al l l was the only person
knowing his four names and
addresses.

- lf you suspect me...
- Calm down.

There is something l don't like
about it. Go back to the horses.

Romek is here. He is Jozef's guard.
He saw him being taken.

He is telling interesting things.

As l looked through the window l saw
some SS-men at the corner of the
street.

An officer on a motor bike stopped
by them and started talking to them.

- lt was him.
- Who do you mean?

Jozef never talked about that guy.

May be he did some business with
him. Anyhow they used to meet quite
often.

- l thought he worked for Jozef.
- And what do you think now?

lt seems to me that he was in
command of that operation.

They didn't check any lD cards: they
were taking all but were hunting
Jozef.

Otherwise why would that officer
turn up there?

You may leave.
Cal l for Skowronek.

l was just transmitting a message
when l heard a rumble at the door.

l couldn't have been wrong:
these were the Germans.

First of al l, and according to
the instructions l wanted to secure...

to destroy the code. l threw
the book of codes into the stove...

the message that came that day too.
But it wouldn't burn.

- And just then the Germans came in.
- Was it Wermacht?

Yes. A dozen or so soldiers
and two officers.

And next another man came in.. .
in a black uniform...a Gestapo-man.

Gestapo and Wermacht at the same
time.

l don't know.
l didn't think about that.

When that Gestapo-man came in...

aparently of a higher rank as the
other officer saluted and started
reporting.

l even remember his name.

Lieutenant Kloss.

Taking the opportunity they were not
looking at me...

l jumped through the window.
There was a balcony.

You mentioned the name of that
German officer. Could you repeat it?

His name was Kloss.

- What did he look like?
- Tall , fair-haired.

You may leave.

The odds are that it was Janek.

- l don't quite understand.
- lt all makes sense.

He is caught by Abwehr or Gestapo.

They have sufficient evidence
against him.

He could of course take cyanide
but he is young, wants to live.

They suggest a way
of saving his life.

He is to continue working
as if nothing happened.

But obviously under their command.
And the results.. .

We know the results.
We receive false information.

Then why does he eliminate
the radio station?

After all they don't employ idiots.

They let the
radiotelegraphic operator escape.

And thus we can learn that it was
Kloss who eliminated the radio
station. ..

and that he is loyal to us. And
we can continue cooperating with him.

A perfidous plan.

There is no other way out.

An agent who betrays
is a deadly threat to us.

He must be killed.

We are authorized to pass a
sentence.

l'd rather hear what he can say
in self-justification.

Unfortunately, there is neither time
nor possibility of arraigning him.

There is only one possible verdict
for treason.. .

capital punishment.

Who is for?

There is no other way out.

l propose that the sentence
be executed by Romek and Zenek.

What happened?

My husband found you
by the railroad yesterday.

You escaped from a transport,
didn't you?

ls it a long way to Strzeszow.

- About ten miles.
- Do you have a horse?

- You have to take me there. l' ll pay.
- We don't care about money.

Yesterday you didn't seem to be able
to pay for the night's lodging.

l'm sorry.

- He wil l be careful now.
- He usual ly walks without any guard.

He was by the hiding-place
yesterday.
He may come back again.

He won't. But if he does
he will be guarded.

So he leaves home and what next?

He goes this way, at least
he went this way yesterday.

Then he turns to the right:
a fiddler always stands here.

He passes him,
goes across the street crossing.

Good. We will be
waiting for him here.

Halt!

- Password?
- l don't know the password.

- Thank you.
- Good-bye.

Lead me to Stefan.
Hurry up.

Major, our men have caught some
guy in
the wood. He doesn't know the
password.

- He wants to see Stefan.
- Bring him in !

Jozek, we've already mourned
for you. lt's O.K.

Wait. There is a man sitting over
there:
lt is Skowronek, a tailor.

He doesn't know me but l know him.
Keep an eye on him.

You can taIk safeIy.
Meet our guest from the headquarters.

We've discovered together with J-23
that
that man colaborates with the
Germans.

- And what about J-23?
- What do you mean?

Something terrible happened.

What happened?

On the grounds of the possessed
information we 've ascertained. ..

that J-23 is a traitor.

Nonsense.

Skowronek was caught with the radio
station and it was him who ratted.

We've already sent the group for
executing the sentence.

This order has to be cancelled.

We have to go to Cracow at once.

ln the name of the Republic. ..

l fled like a coward.
And if Romek was only wounded. ..

Calm down. We could hane done
nothing else.

Damn it: if only we could know
anything about that guy.

Romek shot several times
but l don't know if he hit the target.

Have you done it yet?

We had problems with Gestapo.
Romek is dead.

- And is he alive?
- We don't know.

J-23 was not guilty.
lt was a mistake.

What mistake?

Wait. He has a telephone.

l've never phoned him before.
l will try now.

Hello, lieutenant Kloss speaking.
