"Polish Television presents" "starring" "The Time of Honor season 5 previously..." "A theatre will soon be opened." "The first post-war premiere in this theatre is a great occasion." "There are still people around trying to spoil what's beautiful and good." "He gave me a precise plan of the prison with all the rooms." "I'm not sure, but I guess he wants to save his neck." "It's a trap." "How do you know?" "I made a deal with Zvonarev." "You lead him to the archive and I'm handed over to the Americans." "You're going to Jasio." "No." "Wasilewski's got a chauffeur." "He's taken our boy somewhere." "They took Wladek's girlfriend from the hospital." "40, Huzarska St. But the NKVD are guarding her." "Thank you very much." "What did you promise Zvonarev?" "Two Days to Freedom episode 65" "The archive and your heads." "The archive's not in Poland, right?" "That's right." "I lied to him." "Did he believe you?" "Yes, I made up a story that after getting the archive" "I buried it in Kampinos and you know where it is." "How would we?" "You were active there" "after the Uprising." "So they got us out of Warsaw." "That could be the reason." "But why?" "So you'd spring Michal and me." "It's more believable in provinces." "OK, where's the archive now?" "I told you, I buried it." "Where." "In a forest near Plzen." "Where exactly?" "I'll show we when we get there." "You set us the conditions?" "I'll kill you, you bastard!" "Calm down." "What's going on?" "I know where Ruda is." "Bocian's holding her" "in a secret prison in Mokotow." "How do you know?" "Karol told Wanda." "He's an agent, he's lying." "He's dead." "What do you mean Karol's dead?" "He shot himself after meeting Wanda." "I don't think he would lie." "Well?" "At least ten on the first floor." "Not bad." "A light machine gun on the balcony and six on the terrace." "The same again in the basement." "It's a bloody fortress." "No point trying a direct assault." "We could round up a few boys." "What boys are they?" "Say something." "Any ideas?" "Let's go." "I can't work like this." "Nothing but treachery and cowardice." "Calm down, major." "There's no time to be calm." "It's a counterrevolution." "We might have figured in your plans." "The ministry would have helped you." "Does it amuse you?" "No, it worries me." "Every defeat worries me." "There are more and more defeats." "An officer who worked for me died last night." "According to your investigation he committed suicide." "What, a committed comrade would kill himself?" "I'm not trying to persuade you." "That isn't naivety, it's stupidity." "Are you forgetting yourself?" "No, not at all!" "There's another matter." "A premiere is due to take place on Sunday in our theatre." "The most senior VIPs will be there." "And?" "The operation is being run by the most naive, stupidest officer I know." "Wasilewski." "I don't agree with you." "I demand you dismiss him." "I beg your pardon?" "I demand you dismiss him." "Comrade major," "I'm glad you carry out your duties with such enthusiasm, but... let me say something." "You sometimes step out of line too much." "Wasilewski's my operative." "I decide if he gets dismissed." "I do." "If you have any doubts you may telephone General Serov." "You mean you aren't firing Wasilewski?" "No." "That's a mistake." "You're making a mistake." "He's very closely guarded." "You said so yourself." "Not me, Ryszkowski." "He sleeps and eats at the Security Service." "He never leaves it." "Can we get him?" "I don't know." "What?" "Do we ask him to go out?" "I don't know." "That's the only chance." "They're his men." "Only an order from him will make them release Ruda." "Get it?" "He'll eventually have to leave for the city." "We must begin surveillance." "Wait, gentlemen." "I don't know if that..." "Zvonarev?" "Yes." "I have no idea who's coming." "The guest list is confidential." "Can't you find out from someone?" "Bronek, what are you guys planning?" "We have to spring Ruda." "We can reach her through that Russky." "Every door will be guarded, every window." "Bronek?" "Is it true Karol helped you?" "Yes." "I love you." "I see you're having a good day." "It's good and it'll get even better." "Is it a secret?" "None at all." "I made the consultant hire" "you as a fulltime doctor." "It'll all start again." "Nothing's going to start." "He'll give his answer this evening." "Mr Kirchner." "It's an official letter for you." "What is it?" "I have 24 hours to leave Poland." "Come in." "May I come in?" "Sure." "I want to ask you a favour." "Sit down." "I'd love to see Wanda's premiere, could you arrange it?" "I'd really like to see her." "I suggested we went together." "I'm sorry, I prefer to go by myself." "Of course." "You'll get an invitation." "Thank you." "Anything else?" "Yes." "Tell me if there are going to be any Soviets at the premiere." "Why do you ask?" "No reason." "I'd like to know." "Do you have anyone in mind?" "No, no." "I just wanted to know if" "they're..." "Of course, there will." "Does that change your plans." "I really want to see her." "Thank you." "Why not go to the provinces?" "You wanted to go to Wrocław," "so we'll go to Wrocław." "I'll always be German to you Poles." "I don't have any grudge against you." "Which Poles?" "There's only me here." "Marysia, I don't regret anything." "Except that I believed that it could last." "Leave Warsaw for a while and everything will calm down." "Marysia, understand..." "No!" "I won't let you leave me." "Never." "I'll go and tender my resignation." "The transfer across the border has been set for Saturday night." "The courier will meet you in Cieszyn." "Lead you across the Olza." "There'll be people waiting to take you to the American zone." "Here are all the details." "No more than 6 people in the group." "Couldn't we delay it a few days?" "Why?" "I have to finish off a few things." "I can't postpone it now." "The Soviets are tightening up the borders and things are tougher." "OK, we set off on Saturday." "You have three days to wind everything up." "And say farewell to Poland." "Wladek." "I hope we manage to meet again." "See you later." "Comrade private, Colonel Wasilewski is asking for you." "Me?" "What for?" "We have to carry a light to his car." "A big one?" "Massive." "Let's go." "You have an hour to move to another room." "The NKVD are taking over this floor." "You've got an hour to move out." "The NKVD are taking over this floor." "Where are we meant to go?" "Go where you want." "What's going on?" "You're moving out." "Who gave the order?" "Me." "You must have the wrong building." "Is it a problem?" "The NKVD will be here." "This is the City Council." "It was." "I'm taking over this floor." "You couldn't deal with the counterrevolution." "I had to bring in some trusted comrades." "Do you understand?" "Everyone out!" "Comrade colonel, Corporal Bas standing in for Corporal Lizak." "What's the matter with him?" "Acute tonsillitis, comrade colonel." "I hope he hasn't infected me." "OK, hurry up." "I'm late anyway." "Let's go straight to the theatre." "Which theatre?" "The Popular." "I've been there all day." "He's very strong." "Stronger than you?" "He's Beria's man." "I'll talk to Bierut." "Bierut won't help you either." "You know that very well." "No one in Poland will help you now." "We'll have to wait it out." "Will it be long?" "Six months, a year at most." "Then he'll go to Moscow." "How do you know?" "That's the logic of the revolution." "It wasn't meant to be like that." "Poland..." "Communist..." "Our People's Poland..." "Don't say that aloud." "I'm not afraid." "I know, I know." "Will you help me or not?" "I have a proposition for you." "For your and my good." "Anyway, everyone knows we know each other well." "I'm moving to Szczecin." "To set up the Polish administration." "I might finally be of use." "That Russky turned out too strong." "Yes." "Don't say that." "You can't think about individuals if you want to change the world." "Your old tune." "Yes, my old tune." "For all these years." "I came to thank you, Helena, for those few weeks," "for trying to understand me." "You were sincere." "That's for you, so you won't forget." "Druskininkai." "1914." "Give my best wishes to Wanda." "I know my visits are hard for her, so I want to spare her that." "That's all." "And now to the Russkies..." "Your invitation." "Zvonarev will be at the premiere." "Front row, fourth from the left." "I've checked." "Thank you." "Look after yourself." "Farewell." "A bit quiet for an orphanage." "Do you think the driver tricked us?" "I don't know, but we can always go back to him." "Private, wait here for a second." "Yes, sir." "Hello." "I've come from Colonel Wasilewski." "Yes, what is it?" "Jasio has to see the doctor." "The colonel left him here a week ago." "Jasio's healthy." "Two children he was lying with died of diphtheria." "I have to isolate him and take him to hospital." "Very well, I'll prepare him." "Cut the telephone wires." "I'm coming." "As I said, I want two men at each entrance." "We must man the cloakrooms." "No one from outside or from the theatre." "Only our own people." "Is that clear?" "Yes, sir." "You are personally responsible for seeing that no one hangs around." "Only the actors and the stage manager." "Is that clear?" "Yes, sir." "It's wet." "Couldn't they have cleared it away." "Bloody hell." "Where's the stage manager." "Bloody hell." "Where's that new driver?" "Bloody hell." "You'll go with Uncle Bronek." "Take him." "Come here." "Hurry up." "Janek, what are you doing here?" "Are you alone?" "Yes." "We've got Jasio." "Downstairs." "Come on, let's go." "I'll take some of my things." "We're going to Bolek." "But will you be with me?" "First we free Ruda, and then we clear off to the West." "When?" "On Saturday." "Everything's ready, everyone's waiting for us." "Hold on, this Saturday?" "Yes." "This Saturday?" "Yes." "Two days to freedom." "Jasio." "Come on, let's go." "Jasio, sit here quietly." "Uncle will just put you here." "Get in." "Jasio," "come here." "Are you OK?" "Get in." "Get in, Lena." "It'll all be fine." "It'll all be fine." "Lena." "I'll give him to you." "Janek." "I love you." "Janek!" "Janek..." "Janek..." "Janek!" "Jan Markiewicz died, aged 24" "Bronek, my mind's made up." "I won't act in the premiere." "Not in that one, or any other." "I'll go in tomorrow and resign." "You can't do that." "Sorry?" "I have to ask you." "It isn't just emotion." "I've made my decision and that's that." "I can't explain it to you." "The less you know the better for you." "There's no other option." "Go to the premiere." "What do you mean?" "Trust me, trust me for the last time." "I've thought about everything." "That premiere has to go ahead." "They've arrived." "Welcome, secretary." "This way." "Welcome, minister." "As ever..." "Come this way." "Let's see what their theatre is like." "OK?" "Is everybody here?" "They're coming." "The first bell is in 10 minutes." "What are you doing here?" "I'm preparing the trapdoor." "What trapdoor?" "For the play." "The trapdoor opens during the play and I put other scenery on it." "So you'll need some help." "Jozek... stay here and make sure everything turns out right." "The rest of you upstairs." "We'll have to wait a while, eh?" "Butterflies?" "Everything will be fine." "You see, darling." "I'm extremely happy and moved to be able to welcome you to the first post-war premiere in Warsaw" "of Maidens' Vows by Aleksander Fedro." "The premiere..." "Could you help for a moment?" "To hold the crank." "I have to..." "remove the wedge." "No, I can't." "It's only 5 seconds." "I'd like to welcome to the theatre our national government and members of the victorious army." "You want me to run to the commander for permission?" "Yes." "Bloody hell." "I'll have to go and get help." "Close the door behind me so that no one can come in by accident." "Maidens' Vows has been seen for many years as a simple, light comedy of life in an aristocratic house." "As a farce full of imbroglios." "It has not been noticed that it all has a solid social foundation." "That the story of Aniela is a crystal-clear reflection of a class-ridden society." "You begin in five minutes." "I don't know any Zvonarev." "You do, you do." "Where is he right now?" "I've told you the conditions of the exchange." "Who mentioned an exchange?" "Tell me, like a son to his father, where he is." "Where is he?" "You've got 30 seconds." "One, two, three..." "You'll die and the woman will die." "Four, five, six." "My men have also started counting." "Come on." "Stop." "Get out." "Get out, I said." "Move back." "Now throw your guns over the fence." "Do what he says." "We'll get them anyway." "Throw down your guns." "Drop your gun." "And lie on the ground." "Drop your gun." "And lie on the ground." "Start the engine." "Drive." "Bronek." "Drive." "You son of a bitch!" "Fire!" "Comrade major." "Don't die, comrade major." "Come here." "Come here!" "She'll have to stay here." "Can't anything be done?" "Do you want her to survive?" "Is it that bad?" "She's still very weak." "A long journey would kill her." "OK, I'll be back to get her, Mum." "Can I count on you?" "This time you can, son." "Is she going to hospital?" "No, she's staying here." "Otto will be watching her day and night." "Don't worry." "Come with us." "No, I want to stay here." "With Janek." "I'm leaving you with Mum, you'll come through this." "Remember, whatever happens, I'll come back for you." "Remember that." "Wladek, Michal, we're going." "Please look after them like you would your own family, alright?" "Thank you." "Wladek, we've got to leave." "Take care." "I'm going." "Goodbye." "Thank you." "Goodbye." "Mrs Wanda Ryszkowska?" "Yes." "You're coming with us." "Let's go." "Let's go." "American zone" "Open it." ""The troop leader of Zoska Battalion" " Jozef Babiuch."" ""Order of the day, 11 August 1944.""
