[Music]

[Applause]

thank you

[Applause]

oh hello paul where's mario she's

upstairs but it's all right this is the

i heard

mother told me it's only for question

and that's the opposite disappear oh

they don't know januszek is carol walker

he'll be out any week

hey

how do we know when the longshoremen

plan to blow up the ammunition barges

can't you understand

the longshoremen send yanushike a

message it was to tell us the exact time

to create a diversion for them at the

freight yards

in that way we were to draw the gestapo

away from the waterfront

if we fail

there'll be no way for our men there to

know it

they'll go ahead with half a plan

30

40 men good men will lose their lives

and munitions will get through to the

russian front why can't we see the

longshoremen ourselves

how

do you know them

do you

do i

for every one of our people on the

riverfront there are 20 spies

janoshi was our only contact with the

longshoremen he was their only contact

with us

somehow we have to get that message from

yamashi

i'll try

[Applause]

[Applause]

captain after last night

i think you'll soon be calling me major

yes sir

there's a report just arrived from the

coroner's office on your desk fine by

efficiency

everything moves like clockwork

this poor fellow glass nub

murdered by these subhuman criminals

[Applause]

corner's office immediately

this this is impossible it's unthinkable

connor's office heploam captain schuler

speaking i'm just reading the report

there must be some error

no

no he was not murdered there were no

marks of violence alcohol on water dead

by drowning my verdict is suicide

can't be

this means we'll have to release the

hostages now that's today

tomorrow we'll take in some more you

fool you don't know

one of the prisoners is otto pricing

captain schuler's office

wait a minute

commissioner reinhardt has arrived you

wanted to speak to him no no i cancelled

a call i i've changed my mind never mind

oh what a blunder

what a blunder this piscinger will talk

captain shula's office

yes

the commissioner wants to speak to you

in his office

[Applause]

sure

you wish to see me sir yes

i have the coroner's report on my desk

yes sir

release those 26 at once

dismissed

there's something you should know sir

one of the prisoners downstairs is a big

man in this country

he's been cooperating with us who is he

when we took him in last night he we

that is we treated him as we would treat

any prisoner and naturally when he

talked back to our men they they

answered in an appropriate manner will

you please answer my question who is he

adopted

director general of the bohemian

moravian call syndicate

and you treated him as you would any

prisoner but commissioner

either brilliant

otto prysinger one of our leading

collaborationists

and you treated him as you would any

other president

brilliant

you know schuler

sometimes i think a man of your

intelligence might be very useful on the

eastern front

the protector general dalouga wishes to

see you at once sir yes

dismissed

[Applause]

good morning general

good morning randy

you're a very efficient gestapo

made a stupid blunder last night huh

i have had quite a few calls about

surprising her

some very influential people are

concerned about his welfare yes a little

slip up

a new man in my department

you know the kind of replacements they

are sending us nowadays however no real

damage has been done we will release the

hostages at once

and then if you will have a little talk

with the pricing here

why should i see him

well last night he suffered a

some slight inconvenience naturally

but a word from you the highest

authority would help matters

why do you want to let pricing go

i have been examining the records

the financial statement of his call

syndicate

they have some very handsome investments

in the

united states and south america

i see nothing to prevent this coal

company from continuing to supply the

right just as efficiently from now on

with one slide change

the profits will go to a new management

a german management

as a matter of fact

my brother-in-law would be excellent in

the position

naturally

in the redistribution of the stock you

will be included

stroke of genius general

but a man of pricing is important sir

i'm afraid afraid of what

has he not worked with us for two years

collaboration in itself is an admission

of defeat

it's only those who have not yet

collaborated

who need to rouse your fears

commissioner this could be turned into

fight propaganda sir

one detail

the coroner reports this glazing up

was a suicide

the coroner will make a new examination

it will be murder a knife step in the

back

good

i'll hit

[Music]

but until he can i thought perhaps you

would like to read the paper oh thank

you

uh what's holding up my beliefs how

pricing her it will still take a little

time

but when your release comes it'll be

complete and unconditional right

oh by the way last night my man handled

you a little carelessly

oh this it's nothing believe me i won't

complain

i believe you

hitler i'll hit them

what did that tell you

what did he tell you

[Music]

it was inevitable

i told you

i knew this was going to happen

i demand a trial

hey let me out of here this is a

ridiculous impossible this can't include

me

i want to think

gentlemen silence

the washroom attendant wants to think

no don't worry ladder five minutes with

ran out and we'll have the whole matter

cleared up

please tell commissioner ryan at that

like a few minutes of his time

he's pricing it with me

mr klimer publisher of the prague held

and miss pricing wish to see

commissioner

no interview

nothing is wrong carl it's the natural

stupidity of petty officials

wait until they receive orders from

berlin let's just begin

i mean you need to fear my telegrams

never through to berlin let's wait and

see in other words let's do nothing oh

my dear don't be unreasonable we are

thinking of everything no you're not and

you know it you have your newspaper tell

the people what happened find out the

truth and print it yes and ten minutes

later he'd be in the cell next to your

father

wait a

minute i have an idea

i should have thought of it long ago

to my office please

before we meet this man i want to warn

you

he's no friend of mine

he used to teach languages during the

republic

now he translates for the german censor

at my expense is he a cheque yes

quite clever

sly

he's not only close to the lowest

officials

but what's more important to us to the

highest

where money counts

don't be squeamish

no no colonel in my opinion you're going

to the wrong man

in a case like this there's only one

thing to do go right to magic the head

of the syndicate

in the meantime i'll reach the wheels at

this end

i'll mention the colonel bomber

someday i may be coming to you for a

favor

right goodbye girl

hello freda

milana this is mr brader

miss pricing of mr powell

you know of course what happened to miss

pricing's father

yes well

talk to me on explain everything see me

later my dear

sit down mr price

you're not really worried about this

highly misplaced

of course she's worried about it did you

see reinhardt the police commissioner

hello here if reinhardt had been willing

to see us do you suppose we'd be here

talking to you

this is a complicated affair

people never come to me when it's easy

which is lucky for me

mr brader there's just one thing we want

to know

can you be of any assistance

that all depends

naturally mr britta

we don't expect your services for

nothing

you know breeder

deep down these nazis are no different

than we are

i'm sure there must be someone who'd

find it worth his while to release mr

pricing

for shall we say

a quarter of a million crowns

is that all he's worth to you

we'll pay anything within reason we'll

pay anything

good that may help

the first thing we have to do is see

reinhardt

i've already told you refuse to see us

get gestapo headquarters

tell commissioner reinhard that i'm on

my way over

but hell reinhardt

how on earth could a man of prising his

importance become involved in the murder

of this officer importance

our justice makes no distinction between

that prizinger and the lowliest washroom

attendant

isn't his importance it's his innocence

there can't be any doubt about that that

remains to be seen

and now if you will excuse me

you're not going

[Applause]

you've taken in 26 people

you have sentenced them to death without

a trial

they have no right to defend themselves

no chance to prove their innocence

a moment ago you mentioned justice

i don't understand your use of the world

i'm afraid we are being too serious

about this

after all a generous reward has been

offered

i'm sure it will induce someone to turn

in the murderer

and that is done the hostages will be

released

thank you for coming in

[Applause]

why did you bring them here i already

refused to see them

in the first place

for this

and in the second place i thought you'd

be amused by the proposition they had to

make

slide

dog how much did they offer

what do you think

half a million

let go a million maybe more

what did you tell them but they didn't

have a chance

but nobody can bribe an official of the

third ride

and why did you bring them here

because i have a wonderful idea

commission

you know

there's front-based news in this for you

propaganda that will have a tremendous

effect upon the entire population

suppose you were to discover that this

washroom attendant you mentioned

was innocent

if you release it

the story would break in the front page

of every newspaper in the world that her

reinhardt commissioner of police in

prague refused the bribe of a million

crowns to release otto pricinger

yet

upon proof of innocence

a poor man was released

this would be real proof to people

everywhere that your justice is

incorruptible

you know that's not top bad

ah bad

it's very good

that's exactly the note we have to

strike

brett that's an excellent idea

no

no

it won't do i'm afraid back in berlin

they would interpret it as a sign of

weakness but commissioner we don't

release hostages brother

well

i'll think of something else

you've already thought of something yes

but very nice too

good day commission

[Applause]

there's a girl leaving the reception

hall

mila the pricing here ever followed yes

sir

a million clowns

[Applause]

fire

[Applause]

talk

to anything

mr lobkowicz has a good idea

i know a man once who had such a bad

toothache his wife had to take him to

the dentist

when he saw all the machinery in the

office he started to yell so they tied

him in the chair hauling like a wolf

at last the dentist said that's enough

thank you

you were so busy with your yelling you

didn't even know the tooth is already

out

what's the point

well if you gentlemen can occupy your

minds like my friend did

why we'll all be dead before we know it

can't you keep your stupid mouth shut

hello joseph oh maria

there's a small donation

well

have you heard on the radio

the hostages have to be shot tomorrow

night

there is only one way to get that

message from yanujik

we've got to free all the hostages

yes but but how

someone must give himself up for the

murder of gladon

who

it's very simple paul

already my usefulness is about over

yesterday they almost picked me up

distributing leaflets

i'm sure to be caught

if not tomorrow the next day

besides i am the logical one

you remember how they killed my daughter

so there it is

i shall say

it was this glazing up who killed her

in revenge

i stabbed him in the back

and threw him in the river

they'll believe he started like that

suppose they don't

that's where you come in

before your paper goes to press tomorrow

morning

joseph will make a public confession in

front of the herald building

you'll have photographers there and you

will write the story

once it's printed it gets up already

have to release the hostages

you see

stop worrying paul everything is good

as a matter of fact there is only one

thing that bothers me

pricing girl will be released

yes

he'll get his freedom

but i promise you joseph he'll pay for

it

where are you going

to say goodbye

[Music]

[Music]

it's me and your father

i'm going to leave your children and i

want you to understand

they are in the hands of good friends

they are with mario

just tonight i saw them put to bed

they're good children

already your boy is a real chair fighter

he helps the people in many ways

and your little girl too

they'll both grow strong out of their

hate for the enemy

and with that strength

we'll win

our anger will make the earth tremble

even you and i at rest will feel the

earth rock

whose smile

will have peace

[Music]

oh

[Music]

hello

no this is jan parvel

you'll see us

thank you we'll be there

chopping will see us we have an

appointment in 20 minutes

what did you say

can you really do something

hey mr prayer to see you mr pricing

ask him to come in

i have good news miss pricing

your father will be released tomorrow

it's all arranged

thank you

how much

a quarter of a million crowns tonight

fine radar fine

but uh

we'll settle the financial end of this

after mr pricing has been released come

now mr pavel

we're not bargaining for a shipment of

coal it's not a question of bargaining

i know the kind of people you do

business with you know them very well

they're the same ones you do business

with that's beside the point young this

is no time to argue how do i know he's

telling the truth

i'll give you a receipt

for a quarter of a million crowns i

promise to deliver in one piece a cold

battle

if i don't

you can sue me

i'd like to know a little more about

this

how are you going to get him out

that's my problem

it's our problem too

after all you're doing this for nothing

there must be a handsome commission in

it for you

that's right

if you want to see that commission you

better tell us more you have

well let's say this

a man is going to give himself up

that's nonsense

now if you can't give us any more

information mr breeder not whether i

can't i won't let's not waste any more

time either you get the money tonight or

forget the whole thing we'll get the

money ladder this is fantastic

i won't i could do it why do you have a

better plan yes i have

now look darling

in 15 minutes we are going to see chopin

and he has some very important

connections

a friend who has a sister-in-law who is

very close to the league

friends of friends

sisters-in-law

i'm supposed to sit still while you are

running around after a man who's got a

friend who's got a sister-in-law who

knows the luge

we've been running around that circle

for years don't you see jan we have to

take this chance you're just throwing

the money away

well that's it

the money

always the money

let's hold on to it

it is the most precious thing in life

isn't it

please me ladder we'll let him here

let everybody hear it

for three years we've been sacrificing

everything

the right to hold our heads up to look

anyone straight in the eye every shred

of honor what for told on to the money

well we have the money

but no friends

a man like this can laugh at us

and our own people decent checks hate us

don't you see jan what has happened to

us

we are alone

completely alone

i'll get you the money mr breeder

good

meet me at the czech lion cafe on maldau

street

do you know what that is

i can find it

in an hour

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

joseph was so right for it

they would have believed him he had a

personal grudge

joseph is dead

we are wasting time

let us decide who is to take his place

that's right

who do you think mariah

it's a hard choice to make

the man who takes jose's place must be

able to tell a story the nazis will

believe

he must be strong enough not to break

down under questioning

and he must be replaceable in his own

work

there is only one man who can take

joseph's place and that is

paul breda

i've made all the arrangements

the photographers will be there before

nine o'clock

paul

joseph is dead

you will have to take his place

[Music]

yes

i'm waiting for mr breda do you know him

no momentum

[Music]

[Applause]

excuse me

i didn't see you

[Applause]

here it is if you don't mind

[Music]

we'll wait for your coffee then we'll go

over to headquarters don't be upset miss

praising here

this is a very comfortable place isn't

it

yes come here often

i live across the street

the food is good i suppose native

cooking

i miss my native cooking sometimes

what's back there

[Music]

a kitchen

and a washroom

i wash

anything else

why don't you go back and look

i will

not alone

you know only last month we raided a

little toy shop

and in the back they also had a washroom

but they didn't wash in it no

they printed leaflets

[Music]

all right bretta

it's pretty here let's go

come on

[Music]

headquarters

tell them you are calling for a special

agent mueller tell them to send the

patrol car at once

do as i tell you or i'll take you in

with these underground rats

[Music]

all right

get away from the telephone

[Music]

oh

[Applause]

[Music]

in there

let's go to my place

sit down everybody please

[Music]

[Applause]

before you decide anything

i want you to know what happened

she was ordered to telephone gestapo

headquarters

it could have meant her life

she could have saved herself by turning

us

in she didn't do it or she didn't do it

then her father wouldn't have been saved

there's one thing i want to say

you don't trust me

there's no reason why you should

but i trust you

when you kill that nazi tonight

you killed him for me too

what you're doing is right

whatever you do about me

will be right too

we can trust

believe me mary

when the gestapo comes for you tomorrow

morning miss prysinger

they want to know where you were tonight

you'll have to convince them you never

left your house

they'll be very persistent

make up your story and go over it and

over it in your mind until you yourself

believe it

and then you can never be shaken

thank you

we believe in people

if we didn't what would that be to fight

for

good paul

[Music]

she's wonderful

she believes

i want to help

the way you help not just with money

i want to do anything no matter what it

the is i gave you

was for them

yes

all this time they've been fighting with

their hands

their bodies

but when you have the money to buy them

there are better weapons

tell me

about my father

he'll be released

oh

all the hostages will be free

but i told mr pavel it's true

a man is going to give himself up

he'll make a public confession tomorrow

morning at nine o'clock in front of the

park's hurl built

why

we're one of the hostages who means a

great deal to us

do you know the man who's giving himself

yes

what is he like

he's

just a man

a

man who loves life so much that his own

means nothing to him

you're all like that

can i ever really be one of you

[Music]

you are one of us

i'm so glad you believe that

must help me

[Music]

i need you now

you will help me

want you

i'm leaving tomorrow

[Music]

when will you be back

that's hard to say

see mario

get to know her

she'll tell you what to do

when will you be back

you're not coming back

[Music]

if the scoundrel who killed the

lieutenant had a shred of honor he would

confess

why should innocent people suffer for

his crime

there's one thing i don't understand

the regime cannot exist without

collaboration it can't live without men

like you can eat cold don't they who is

going to produce it for them

you're the head of the syndicate mr

pricinger

you don't produce the coal

oh

now he knows about the coal industry too

i know more about coal than you

yes i worked in your mines for 12 years

have you

miners produced a call you collect for

it he used to collect food and the call

will still be produced

only from now on

they get both the core and the profits

how much did you make this year mr

prysinger

they can use it

they can't touch a penny of it my state

is all in order

my will is made out

you see you're wrong mr lockwood

they wouldn't dare touch a penny because

his will is made up no you are so

brilliant you're very smart

that's why you are washable tendon and

not the head of a coal syndicate i'm not

a washroom attendant anymore

you're not the head of a cold syndicate

we're both hostages

it says so in the paper

oh what's the good of talking it's

hopeless

have you got the pencil yarn chick i

like to write a note

the last time someone asked me for a

pencil to write a letter i get into all

this trouble

wait

stop breezing everybody

once more the washroom attendant has a

thought

yes i have a thought

it's not because if glossnep we're going

to be killed pricing it

it's because of you

[Applause]

[Applause]

it's the funniest thing that ever

happened now you can see how stupid

those nazis are

but wait until glassenov's letter is

read by the colonel general in berlin

the axe mayor will have some exercises

on reinhardt's neck

well don't you see

that drunken idiot glass and i've

committed suicide and we're going to be

killed so that reinhardt can steal

frazier's money

but wait until they find glossing up

suicide letter

you

repeat what you said

what i said

i haven't said anything

you must be mistaken quickly

repeat what you said about that suicide

letter letter

i didn't even mention a letter

you all heard what i said

did i even mention a letter captain he

lies

i heard him everybody did

he said lieutenant glasgow committed

suicide

that he knows of a letter which is being

sent to berlin

that isn't true

i swear it isn't

no

no i i didn't say anything i was only

making up a story i don't know anything

perhaps your memory needs refreshing no

get him out of here no

no i haven't said anything please

believe me

what are you looking at me for

if he told the truth it may free us

if he's lying he deserves what they'll

give him

[Applause]

your name is janos

yes your honor

now before we start januzhi i want to

impress upon you not to waste any time

evading questions

i am much cleverer than you are

no matter what you say i will know when

you are telling the truth and when you

are not

so don't try to outsmart me

it is impossible yes your honor

you met lieutenant glassen up in the

washroom didn't you yes your honor a

very nice young man

now to the point

the letter

letter

what letter captain schuler heard you

mention a letter

oh there must be some mistake your honor

how could the captain hear me mention a

letter when i don't know anything about

a letter

yet captain schuler distinctly heard you

how do you explain that

oh that's easy your honor in the little

village where we lived when i was a boy

my father used to ring the church bells

four times a day for 30 years he rang

them

finally my mother left him because

every night he would nudge her in bed

and ask her if she did not hear the

bells ringing

you know

i never told my mother but

i used to hear them too

i think maybe the captain also hears the

bells ringing

give me five minutes with him downstairs

and i'll beat the truth out of him

no schuler

not this type

give him a chair

make him comfortable

[Applause]

we are going to be very lenient with you

and give you plenty of time i assure you

you have nothing to fear all we want is

for you to try to recall what happened

yes your honor thank you

now

about the suicide letter

was it a suicide

that's what you said

oh no your honor that's not what i said

that's what the captain said i said

[Applause]

well

we won't worry about what the captain

said

let's see what we can remember

now suppose we stopped at the beginning

huh

[Applause]

your honor i have a confession to make

fine

i owe lieutenant glass enough money

you do

why

because i am an honest man and he

trusted me

as a reward he gave me 10 crowns to mail

it the letter yeah

yes now i remember

the letter

and did you mail it

no sir that nice young man he arrested

me before i could go to the post office

the letter was addressed to a colonel

general in berlin what was his name

it was

i didn't know that captain schuler heard

you say so

your honor

look at my face

i am an honest man

you can kill me but don't insult me

such a letter placed in my hands by a

poor innocent boy who is now dead

would i look at the address he gave me

ten crowns to mail the letter not to

read the address

you know what happens if you read the

address

first thing you know you open the letter

and then you read it

in the little village where i came from

we had an old lady who ran the post

office she would steam open everyone

i'm trying to explain your honor

lieutenant glasnov came to me and said

he was very unhappy

he didn't want to live anymore he was

going to commit suicide

he gave me 10 crowns to keep a secret

and mailed a letter but

i was called upstairs to wash glasses

behind the bar very good

that's what i'm trying to tell you

when i went upstairs to wash glasses and

believe me i wasn't very happy about

that either there was a time when the

bartender attended the bar and the

washroom attendant attended the washroom

the union wouldn't let me wash glasses

but now we have to do everything i

advise you to come to the point this is

the point your honor

when i went up to wash the glasses i put

the letter away very carefully because i

had given my word of honor that i would

mail it where did you put it

well that's adjusted your excellency

it's a strange thing

i have a very orderly mind

a place for everything and everything in

its place

but there are so many places to put

everything

i don't remember where i did put it

isn't that stupid

no wonder i'm a washroom attendant and

you left it in the washroom where else

could it be

[Applause]

i advise you to find that letter and

bring it back

if you don't i will personally see to it

that every blood vessel in your body

will be broken

[Applause]

take him to the cafe

[Applause]

annoyance reinhardt

sir stupid assistant bungled up

everything

he's going to be punished i'm sending

him to the eastern front you are not

giving orders any more reinhardt

this was your idea

you were the one who wanted pricing a

shot i wanted to release him the very

first day it was you

investments in the united states and

south america that's true

that was our little secret

but you know rhinos

i'm from the prague daily hurdle sir

reinhard called me in to witness the

executions

yes sir this is harvaida he has worked

very closely with our office

of prague

should the facts become known

supposed to make a statement uh

something like this

after more than two years of

distinguished service

richard reinhardt commissioner of police

has left prague

for a well-deserved rest in the

fatherland
