"Good afternoon." "Hi." "I'm jealous of you." "I've been dreaming of becoming a traveler since I was a kid, to explore the jungles of the River Amazon, but life had it its own way." "Once, on a day like this I left home, and got back only 6 years later." "Are you talking about the war?" "Right. I got back here, to the totally destroyed Warsaw." "Here's a taxi." "Central Market, please." "In Paris you'll be met by Monsieur Challot." "How will I recognize him?" "Don't worry, you will recognize him." "According to your dad's description, he looks very much like the famous Tartarin." "I gave him your train and car numbers." "So relax." " And what does he do?" " He's a businessman." "Publishes dictionaries." "Does business with various firms in Latin America." "Your dad met Challot when they were working together in Rio." "By the way, you're doing French, right?" "So your interacting with Challot is a perfect chance for you to practice it." "The boy goes to Paris alone." "Could you look after him, please?" "And in Paris he'll be met." "Don't worry, I'll take care of him." "Bon voyage!" " Goodbye, Teacher." " Okay, get on the train." " Janek Borowski?" " Right, it's me." " Hi." " Hi." "I recognized you." "Your dad is one of the nicest people I've ever met, and you're his copy." " Jan Challot." " Janek." "We got the same names. I'm really happy about this." "Can I help you?" " No, thanks." " You don't trust me with your bag?" "You're tired after this trip." "A bathtub and a delicious lunch await you." "Janek, get out of the car." "You go to the hotel, and we'll take a little walk." "Every time I come to Paris, I walk these streets and think back to my youth." "In this bistro I learned that the Germans had crossed the Magineaux Line." "And in this house, up there, there was a secret rendezvous flat of our underground resistance group." " You were in the resistance?" " That's right." "What?" "I don't look it?" "I wasn't always as fat as I am now." "Was even decorated with a cross." "You will see it. lt's in my house in Rouen." "Come here." "I was standing right here, and he came out of the movie theatre." "Who?" "Evan Hastke, SS Sturmbanfuhrer, a most disgusting man." "I fired at him." "Killed him?" "No, my Walter misfired." "And later this cost many good people their lives." "Go to the hotel." "And when in '44 Paris welcomed General LeClerc's tanks... I could not eyewitness that." "Why not?" "Was in the concentration camp at that time." " ls Monsieur Berje home?" " He's waiting for you." "Yesterday, near the dock warehouses in Sete the body of a certain Jose Ramiro was found." "With three knife cuts on the slain body, one of which was a deadly one." "Allegedly, he was linked to drug dealers, and killed by one of his accomplices." "If so, Jose Ramiro's murder is linked to Interpol busting of a plane with a load of weed aboard." "Two pilot-smugglers were killed in the crossfire with the police." "Monsieur Borde." "It's also possible that Jose Ramiro was taken out by a rivalry gang." "What a coincidence. I see your trip to Sete was successful, too." "This way or the other, this murder again draws our attention to the crucial problem of fighting drug dealing, which is swelling up to formidable proportions not only in our country." "What have you got to say?" "The Swede is on it." "But he asks to double his reward." "And he won't take any checks." "Only cash." "Besides, the whole the sum upfront, right before the operation." "But why?" " Says risk has doubled." " That's true." "But why all the money upfront?" "Have we ever cheated him?" "Says, if anything happens to him, he needs dough to provide for a girl." "I'm sure nothing will happen." "Lancier, can you find someone else instead of him?" "With an attitude like his..." "But this will take time." "This is not so simple to find a replacement." "What the hell are you talking about?" "What time?" "Ramiro let us down." "And now we're in big trouble." "Alright." "He'll get what he wants." "But only half of it upfront, the other half - after he does it." "After he fulfills his end of the deal." "is everything clear?" " Right." " Okay, go then." "Lancier, wait a minute, please." "Be present there, too." "And then you'll tell how it all went." "You got me?" "I don't like his demands." "You may tell him this." "Janek, I'll go downstairs." "I have to meet someone." "And you go to bed." "I'm taking the key with me." "Get a good rest, Monsieur Borowski." "Thank you, Monsieur Challot." "Why do your cigarettes smell so bad?" "Okay, what do you say?" "Your reward will be doubled." "And you'll get it in cash, but the terms of payment remain the same:" "half of the sum before the operation, the other half - after it." "I said, all the money upfront." "Boss asked me to warn you that he doesn't like your demands." "I'm your friend and I'll give you one tip - don't fight with him." "Okay, it's a deal." "But listen, this is for the last time." "Don't count on me in the future." "So now you can make bigger money somewhere else?" "No, Borde, itjust turns my guts to think that my Kristine will marry someone else." "And what will she do if you're found slain like Jose in Sete, or elsewhere," "with a knife in your guts, or with a bullet in your head?" "Don't try to frighten me, Borde." "I won't rat on you." "I'm just sick of all this." "That's enough!" "I warned you, buddy." "It's up to you." "Sleep on it." "Here's your ticket." "Your flight is today." "Okay. I gotta go." "What crap were you saying there, huh?" "!" "Who the hell did you open up to?" "To this bastard Borde?" "You're right. I acted like a fool." "But I've decided... I'll make big money on this operation and then tell them to lay off." " So you agreed, didn't you?" " Sure." " And who's this Kristine?" " His bride, my sister." "How very touching." "So you are almost a family." "If so, you should take care of him." "Go after him and keep an eye on him." "Here's the money." "You're in charge of this operation." "You'll hand it over via Borde." " Which of them brought up Jose?" " The one named Borde." "And who was the one he warned?" "No clue." " Was there someone else there?" " Yes, but his name wasn't mentioned." "Robert, go to the hotel and find out who stays in this room." "You got it." "If he's there, call me right away." "Yes, Commissar." "Maybe this is of no importance and we're wasting your precious time, but as we're talking murder here, I thought it was my duty..." "Relax, you acted wisely." "I don't count it out that one of them is well aware of the murder in Sete." "Thank you." "No problem." " Your breakfast, Monsieur." " Thank you." "Put it over there." " Mister Lancier?" " Yes, it's me." " Who are you?" "!" "What do you want?" "!" " Commissar Lafonte, criminal police." "Does the name "Jose Ramiro" ring a bell for you?" "Jose..." " Ramiro." " No, it doesn't." "And "Borde"?" "Borde?" "Sure." "He's my colleague." "We're working together for Berje's company." "Chemical industries?" "Right, its branch is located in Latin America, where l was to fly to today." "Here's my ticket for the flight." "Berje." "Berje." "Berje." "Back then this Berje collaborated with the occupants, and now he's financing ultra-radical organizations." "But what all this got to do with me?" "And does the name Lature ring a bell for you?" "No, absolutely not." "Paul Lature." "Born in Strasburg, October 24, 1939." "Fought in Algeria." "Was tried for an attempt at the murder of Antoine Rene, a left-wing journalist." "Was acquitted for lack of evidence." "In '73 was busted for drug dealing." "Got a 7-year term." "Broke away from jail." "Fired at a jail guard." "The guard died from injuries." "Why are you telling me all this?" "Here." "Look." "These are Lature's fingerprints." "And these are yours." "Funny, isn't it?" "They're absolutely identical." "I need your help, Lature." "I want to meet your colleague Borde." "Where is he now?" "In South America." "OK, I'll fly there." "I hate take-offs and landings." "Can't say I get a kick out of the flight either." "Fat guys like me must have their feet on the ground." "It turns out we didn't even have a chance to sleep." "Mom, look this is the boy Dad wrote about." " Why do you think so?" " This is him." "Period." "Here you go." "We're going to cross the equator, and our plane will transfer us to the breathtaking coasts of South America." "Brazil." "Rio de Janeiro - the pearl of this continent." "You're going to see modern cities with their ultra modern buildings, as well as original jungles." "Here the present meets the past." "And if you like it - the future." "Our airline will take you to any country of Latin America." "air terminal in SOUTH america" "Passengers of flight #018 from Paris!" "Your flight to Rio de Janeiro is delayed till 3 p.m. due to technical reasons." "You're invited to proceed to the airport hotel." "We apologize for the inconvenience we caused you." "Thank you." "It would be an exaggeration to say I'm happy about this." "My parents will be meeting me." "That's okay. I'll send them a telegram." "Stay here. I'll try to get more information." "You hit the mark." " Want me to guess your name?" " Okay." "Try." "Give me your hand." "No, the other one." "Your name is..." "Your name is Janek." "Janek Borowski." "How did you know this?" "My mom is a gypsy, and I know all gypsy tricks." "Tatyana, stop fooling him." "It's very simple" " Tanya's dad works for the Soviet Embassy in Rio and knows your dad." "He wrote to us that you're flying to spend your vacations with your dad, and Tanya heard them calling you Janek, and put it all together." "That's it." "I'll be right back." "Killed the fun." "And so happy about it." "You hit it again." " Look, you speak good Russian." " Yes, I'm doing it at school." " l guess you're an all A student." " Why?" " All nerds are A students." " This is not about me." "Let me try." "And what's the Polish for "sweetheart"?" "What?" "Go again." " You've already fallen for me?" " For who?" "For me." "Monsieur Borde, follow us, please." "And don't try to pull any silly tricks." "Borde!" "Stop!" "Freeze!" "Put down the gun, Borde!" "Shit!" "I'll fire!" "SOB!" "Put down the gun, Borde." "Freeze!" " What are you doing?" "!" "Tanya!" " Mom!" "Back off!" "I'll kill her right away!" "Let go of me!" "Tanya!" "Back off!" "Freeze!" "Okay." "That's better." "Mom, calm down." " Here you go." " Thank you." "Oh my God." "Thank you." "And you 're not a nerd." "No way." " Janek!" " Monsieur Challot, I'm here!" "Thank God." "I was scared to death." "You're okay." "I heard shots..." "Jean Challot." "Hi." "I'm reporting - l sent a telegram to your parents." "At 3:10 there'll be a flight to Rio." "I got two tickets." "Probably, they have two more tickets for this flight?" "Even if the flight is booked, I'll get them for you, ma'am." "Janek, why did you decide to fire this gun?" " l needed to distract him." " You reacted really quick." "I got no choice." "He could kill you." " Mom got scared to dearth." " And you?" "Had no time for this." "I mean I got scared, but later, when it was already over." " Can't see anything." " Right." " Will we see the jungle?" " To be here and not see the jungle?" "As for me, I like woods better." "When dad comes home for vacation, we go traveling with him." "Last year we canoed down the Chusovaya." "This is a river in the Urals." "Yes, I know." "I drowned 3 times, you know." "Tatyana." "Stop fantasizing." "We just kept it from you." "So that you wouldn't worry." "Enrico, you..." "Fly west." "This path is taken." "Be quiet." "Close the door." "And don't rush." "You got enough time." "Come on!" "We won't make it to the Peru border." "We're low on fuel." "You don't know our destination." "I'll tell you where to bring her down." "Easy." "Here's Center." "Calling 627." "Here's Center." "Calling 627." "It's 627, it's 62..." " What's going on there?" " Everything's fine there." "What do you mean 'fine'?" "The pilot is flying with a gun to his head!" "But you're in no danger here." "You're wrong. I may be late." "And this is not fine with me." "Okay!" "Zip it up!" "And don't smoke here!" "My buddy can't stand tobacco smoke." "627, are you reading me?" "Here's 24 calling 627." "Why don't you answer?" "What's wrong?" "I warned you." "We're almost out of fuel." "We didn't make it." "We have to make an emergency landing." "Really?" "Where?" "Ladies and gentlemen, fasten your seat belts, please." "We're landing." "They're nuts!" "Where shall we land?" "There're jungles and bogs around." " ls Boss in?" " No, he's out." "What's wrong?" "At 5:29 we lost radio contact with flight #627 and are still not having it." " Dispatch a chopper to track it down." " Yes, sir." " Terrorists?" " Wouldn't count it out." "If reporters call, I'm not available." " What are we gonna do?" " Check the baggage for provisions." "Hey, why are you standing there?" "Maybe I can help you?" "Mom!" "Mom!" "Tanya!" "Tanya, sweetie!" "Get up!" "Bastard!" "Stop it, I said!" "Tanya!" " Stop it!" " l'll waste you all like dirty dogs!" "Look, they are just kids!" " They're bastards, just like you!" " Watch your tongue!" "Shut up or you will get it from me!" "Thank you." "Thank you very much." "Move your ass, old bag!" "Get out of it, immaculate virgins!" "Gido, either you take this bitch with you or I'm not responsible for my actions." "What are you doing?" "!" "This is my baggage." "I'm Professor Stanislaw Wezanski." "All this stuff must be safely delivered to Rio." "I'm head of the UNESCO expedition." "Gido, canned meat!" "We must thank UNESCO and personally you, Professor." "Food and guns will be of big use to us." "Don't you worry, ladies and gentlemen, Magnus is very hot-tempered, but unless you get at him, he won't hurt even a fly." "You're absolutely safe." "We wantjust the plane." "There's a village nearby." "Professor and you will go with me to get some fuel, meanwhile the pilots and the rest of you will take care of a runway." "I'm in charge of this little boy, and I won't leave him here." "Take the little witch or I'll waste her!" "Cut it, Magnus!" "This brat is more than enough for me." "Monsieur Challot, please, take Tanya with you." "This guy scares me." "He can't control himself." "He's totally insane." " l won't leave you here." " Shut up, Tanya. I won't make it." "Please." "You'll be better off without me." "Who knows." "But probably you're right." "After all you won't be long, right?" " What is it?" "!" " Stop!" "It was really close." "You can kill a buffalo with such an arrow." "It means there are people near here." "Some Indian trapper put this trap to catch a tapir." "Here's a crossbow." "This is animals' path." "Let's quicken our steps. lt'll be dark soon." " Are you the Professor Werzanski?" " Do you know any other one?" "I read a book about the anaconda hunt." "Was that you who wrote it?" "Right. I spent half of my life in the jungles of the Columbian selva, chasing a gigantic anaconda." "Did you finally catch it?" "Does the young lady doubt it?" "Sure. I caught it." "The Indians nicknamed me "Black Kite" for this." "Are you a Pole, professor?" "Yes, but I haven't been to Poland for 36 years already." " Why not?" " The war, young lady, the war." "My folks perished in the Maidanek concentration camp, and I managed to get out of there." "It's hard for me to go back to Poland." " Here's 13, calling 24, Center." " 13, I'm reading you." "In quadrants 45-16, 45-1 7 a plane hasn't been found." "I proceed with the search operation." "Where are we going?" "I don't understand." "I know these parts really well." "There are no villages here all the way to Guaba." "Wrong." "You'll see it for yourself as soon as we get to the river." "Watch out." "What kind of village is it if it's not marked on the map?" "Its dwellers are very modest folks." "They don't need any PR campaigns." "Watch out." "Some stroll." " l used to work in the circus." " Really?" "And what did you do there?" " Fed crocodiles." " Oh, you're a brave guy." " Your turn." " Thank you." " Professor, I..." " What did you say?" "Monsieur!" "Monsieur!" " Mister Challot!" " Monsieur!" " Mister Challot!" " Monsieur!" "I got in a trap, professor." "Now we'll be having a decent dinner." " Here's 13 calling 24, Center." " 13, I'm reading you." "No plane in quadrant 46-15 either." "I'm low on fuel." "Flying back for refueling." " l'm scared, Janek." " Right, these are jungles." "No, I'm afraid for my mom." "I got a feeling I'll never see her again." "But Gido said they are absolutely safe there." "He's a thug." "How can you trust him?" "What happened?" "What's wrong?" "!" "Easy, easy." "Be quiet, professor, be quiet." "Don't touch it!" "Don't touch it!" "That's okay, sweetie. ." "Don't be afraid." "It's not a poisonous species." "So don't be afraid." " This is a she-snake." " Right." "Oh, Mirabella." "We're letting her go." "Bye." "Damn it." "Where's your river and the village?" "God knows where." "We should've reached to it by now." "Alright, as I see, you know the way very well." "We have to go back to the animals' path." "We'll follow animals' tracks." "They should take us to the river." "We'll lose another day." "We're running out of food." "We got kids with us." "Don't forget it." "It was your idea to take them with us, wasn't it?" "It was." "And if it comes to it, we'll carry them." " You'll carry me?" "!" " Mister Challot, you're kidding me!" "Or you'll carry me." "Oh, there's a bog here." "We won't go farther on." " Let's go back." " Where?" "Discussion is closed, monsieur, we'll follow the animals' path." "Ok." "What happened?" "We've been waiting for you for 4 days." "Ran out of fuel." "Had to make an emergency landing in the jungle." "Who are these people?" "They are with me." " How many?" " Two adults and two kids." "Why did you bring them here?" "It's total suicide to go alone through the jungles." "And why did you take the kids with you?" "I just took them That's it." "I couldn't leave them there." "If you had landed in the agreed place, the passengers could've reached Guaba." "How could I know that we'd run out of fuel!" "Alright." "In the morning you'll take carriers, fuel and go back to the aircraft." "When you arrive there, you'll leave the passengers there," "take the load on board and deliver it before Thursday." "We're past the deadline as it is." "I won't make it to the plane so quickly. I got kids with me." "Are you gonna haul them all the way through the jungle again?" "Yep." "We'll transport them to Guaba ourselves, but warn them - they haven't seen anything, and unless they keep their mouths shut..." "Okay, I'll tell them this." "But look, I guaranteed them their safety." "Scharf Co." "Agricultural Produce." "Gido." "Who are these people?" "Them?" "Some locals." "Working under contract for Scharf, hoping to get rich on his plantations." "And the guards?" "How should I put it?" "Scumbags from far and wide." "In their homelands jails are waiting for them, or something even worse." "They want to make dough too." "It's all about money, gentlemen." " Why are they doing this to him?" " For an attempt at escaping." "For an attempt at escaping." "Sounds very familiar to me." "So what will you tell us?" "In the morning I take carriers and we go to the plane." "With fuel and food." "You'll be transported to Guaba, but on one condition, gentlemen - you're to wipe out this colony from your memory." "And you, too." "And my mom?" "What about her?" "They'll be transported to Guaba, too." "So you'll meet there." "Mid-European time." "I got this one for you in Paris in '42, right?" "Right, this is France, late xviii century." "But I got it in Warsaw in '43." "Mid-European..." "They also suffer from nostalgia, like we do." "What difference does it make that they're serving their sentences there?" "For us here time has stopped, too." "Look, Henrich." "Are you really gonna transport these people to Guaba?" "What if they ignore your warnings and throw a press conference there?" "And all newspapers..." "So what do you suggest?" "Let's wait till Gido leaves, and we'll come up with some plan how to get rid of them." "There's someone there!" "Hans!" "is that you?" "Come on, there's nobody there." "You're a bunch of nerves, right, Henrich?" "And what about those waiting by the plane?" "There's no way they reach Guaba either." "For 20 years we've been building up our colony." "It's absolutely no way it goes down the drain because of this Swede." "My God, I can't take it any more!" "And what do you want?" "I'm old and want to spend my last years in peace and quiet." "If we hadn't got involved with this marijuana..." "Cut your act!" "The weed is the foundation of our entire colony." "It means notjust our wealth, it means a big flow of cash for our organizations." "And you're well aware of it." "Every night in my dreams I see my house in Bavaria, which I left in 1939." "I want to get back home, Welt." "And you?" "I don't believe in it." "Besides, why get back?" "Have you ever thought about people who use our product." "Junkies can hardly be called "people"." "They're lowlifes." "The more of them die, the cleaner our planet will be." "So we're improving the human breed in a way." "Gido, who is it?" "Roggers, the fortress warden." " And the other one?" " Scharf, the boss of this company." " What happened?" " Borde is busted, Lancier's killed." " When?" " Tuesday." " Where?" " At the airport." "Scharf." "This is a German name." "Right, there are loads of Germans around here." "lmmigrated from Europe after the war." "lmmigrated?" "I'd say ran away from justice." " Who sent this tape?" " Berje, from Paris." " Do you have it with you?" " Sure." "Good." "Let's go and listen to it." "Scharf..." "Are you sure this is his real name?" "Who knows." "Don't you know what's the punishment for running away?" "Just look at him!" "He doesn't know!" "Why would they want me?" "Don't know." "Listen to me and don't turn around." "The guys you brought here are in big danger." "As soon as you're gone, they'll be wasted." "And you'll have to take the fall for it." " l heard Scharf talking to my master." " Why should I believe you?" "Better believe it." "They also said they will kill you too, after you get back." " Really?" " Get out of here." " How?" " l'll show you the road to Guaba." "Did you want to see me, boss?" "I want you to listen to a very interesting tape." "But this is for the last time." "Don't count on me in the future." "As I see, you can now make more money in some other place?" "I'm sick of all this." "That's enough." "I'll make big money on this operation, and then I'll tell them to lay off." "Well done." "So what?" "What else would you like to know?" "Who ratted on Borde?" "Borde?" "Don't act like you don't know it." "Borde is busted, and Lancier's killed." "Lancier is killed?" "When?" "Where?" "At the air terminal, right before the "Savoya" took off." "You've gone nuts." "Yes, Borde was right after all." "You did find new masters." "And got us in a really tight corner." "Then why goddammit did I sweat to hijack the plane?" "Who are you working for?" "Answer me!" "I didn't betray you." "I'm waiting." "Bastards!" "That's how you're thanking me?" "Total bastards!" "Careful!" "The clock!" "That's enough." "Take him to the fort." "Roggers, take those he brought with him there, too." "Yes, boss." "Thank you." "You're rushing it, Henrich." "And you still think you're my commander?" "High time you forgot that once I was your errand boy." "I'm in charge here, not you." "And it's me who helped you when you were dying in Paraguay." "Do you remember this?" "Yes, I do." "Only if it had not been for me, you'd be rotting away someplace in Russia now." "I took you under my command and saved you from the Eastern front." "I'm repeating it - you rushed it." "Only Gido knows where the aircraft landed." "No big deal." "We'll force one of his companions to help us with it." "Besides, the Swede has no choice." "We'll promise we'll let him go." "Though it doesn't mean we'll do it." "Why did they beat you up?" "They suspect I turned someone in." "But I didn't do that. I'm no Jose." "That's okay, Tanya." "Janek, give me some water, please." "Excuse me, who is this Jose?" "One bastard." "He turned in a plane with a load of drugs to the police." "And now Scharf got no transport to deliver his marijuana." " Marijuana?" " And you thought it was corn?" "You mean you still don't know what this company sells?" "And for this reason they wanted our plane." " Why did you get involved in this?" " l'm a big adventurer, monsieur." " And if seriously?" " This is all about money." "And you can make really quick and legal money doing it. ." " Legal?" " That's right." "Why are you staring at me?" "The three of us got our own businesses - you, him, me." "That's enough. I'm sick of all this." "I quit.." "And you told them of your decision." "I was sold out like some shit!" " Borde is a SOB!" " Borde?" "Right, Borde." "I'm afraid they'll do away with you." "And with us, too." "I hate it if they shoot us like some partridges." "I really hate it!" "So what are we going to do, Professor?" "Huh?" " We need to get up." " You mean to fly?" "Monsieur, you worked in the circus, right?" "So?" "You'll have to think back to those days." "Go and stand by the wall, please." "Gido will stand on your shoulders." "On my shoulders?" "And Janek will stand on his." "And I'll be making sure no one falls." "Professor, I got a better idea." "You go stand by the wall." "Gido will stand on your shoulders, then Janek. I'll make sure no one falls." "Monsieur, discussion is closed." "Go to the wall, please." "Gido, Janek, up you go, quick." "Alright." "Great." "Janek." " No, I'll go. I weigh less." " Okay." "Do it." " Professor, what weight do I hold?" " l bet, this is a new record." "And I feel it." "I guess I'm gonna have a stiff back, too." " Tanya, what can you see there?" " The door is locked." "The window is really narrow." "Will you manage to get through it?" "If someone gives me a push." "Janek, go help her." "Monsieur, you'll have to get into position by the wall again." "I got a better idea." "No, discussion is closed." "Go." "Janek." "Take it easy." "Janek!" " What can you see there?" " There's no one there." "There're some cars under the shelter." " l'll try to open the door." " Okay." "A lock." "Redhead is coming." "Hide!" "Are you still alive, rats?" "The change of tenants." "Take a seat, buddy." "What, Redhead?" "I'll return it to you, okay?" "Easy, easy." "Your hands!" " A gag." " He'll get suffocated!" "Quick!" "Get in the car." "Move it, move it." "I'm really sorry." "If we could get to Guaba." "Do you know the road to the highway?" " Don't worry." "We'll find it." " And my mother?" "They'll dispatch a chopper and pick them all up." "It was Fernandez." "What are you talking about?" "There're some strangers in the car." "Stop!" "Stop!" "Dammit!" "What are we gonna do now?" " What if we take a detour?" " The road goes only through here." " And if I crash it with the car?" " You'll get the engine killed." " Who's the owner of this house?" " Scharf." "Can I speak to you for a minute?" "I got a plan." "We'll use the tried method:- one - on the ground, the others - on top of him." "But now it's your turn to stand on the ground, and I'll be making sure no one falls." " But..." " Discussion is closed." "That's right!" "Discussion is closed." "Gido, stand on the ground." "Janek." "Joker, coffee." "Janek, stay here." "Put your hands up!" "Put them up, I said!" "To the wall!" " What do you want?" " The keys. please." " What keys?" " Stop playing the fool." "To the gates." "Joker, give them the keys." "And to the gates, opening up onto the highway." "Go." "Change your clothes." "Come on." "We've met before, you know." "Don't remember." "1942, Paris." "You came out of the movie theater, Sturmbanfuhrer Hastke." "I fired at you, but didn't kill you." "My gun had misfired." "I don't get it." "You must be taking me for someone else." "Answer me." "Yes." "Henrich, Gido and all these people escaped from the fort." "They disarmed the guard, got hold of the car and drove to your place." "I'm sending you backup." "Don't do it. I'll handle it myself." "Don't you see you won't get out of here?" "Probably." "But you'll be the first to die." "Go!" "Take him to the back." "Carefully, Janek, this is a radio transmitter." "We'll need it later." "Gido, go!" "Step on it!" "Let me out of here!" "Let me out of here!" " Where's Scharf?" " Gido took him somewhere." "They took him hostage." "Roggers and I will block the road leading to the cornfield, and you, Welt, discharge some gas into the irrigational ditches and set them on fire, in case they turn north." "You're mad." "The fire will spread onto the fields." "Fine." "We'll fry them up." "Hold on, guys!" "Shit!" "We won't get through this!" " What are we gonna do?" " Don't know." "You got no choice." "Give up." " Give up?" " Why not?" "Sounds good." " Gido, turn the car round." " Are you nuts?" "They'll take us out." "Discussion is closed. I know what I'm saying." "Turn the car round." "Okay, let's try it." "Get out of the car." "And put your guns down." "Now!" "I'm waiting." "Don't rush us." "If you don't let us go, I'll kill your officer." "Put down your guns, I said!" "Look, I'm really sorry." "Not my fault." "Pray to God, Hastke." " Get them." "Quick!" " Freeze!" "Stop playing the fool, Max." "I got no choice, Henrich." "You think we should let them go?" "In my place you would've done the same." "Get them!" "Back off!" "Do as I command!" "Stand back!" " Do as I command!" " Freeze!" "The gun." " Goodbye, Henrich." " Max!" "Shut up!" "Who's this?" "Hans." "Roggers!" "Let them go." "And call off your men, who're guarding the highway leading to Guaba." "The highway is cut off by the fire." "You can take only one road - through the jungle." "I'll give you all you need and promise not to follow you." "So nice of you, but you'll have to make us company." "If you try to run away, I swear my gun won't misfire this time." "Deal." "Roggers, give them all they need." " And some fuel for the "Savoya"." " Sure." " And 4 carriers." " No problem." "Yes, sir." "Let's hit the road!" "Roggers, don't pull any stupid tricks." "Remember, his life is in your hands." "Right, Roggers, my life is in your hands." "In your hands." "What are you going to do with me?" "We'll get to Guaba and put you into the hands of Justice, so that the verdict of the Nuremberg trial would finally be put into effect." "Look, I already said I have nothing to do with this Hastke." "Your criminal record is very impressive." "Even without it." "Do you hate Germans?" "No, mister Sturmbanfuhrer, I had very many German friends, and have quite a lot of them now." "But I hate you, SS officers." "You're a communist!" "You mean only communists hate killers?" "Don't you think that my friends will avenge me and give you a dose of your own medicine?" "They tried to scare me back in Nuremberg, however I survived." "Go, Hastke." "Didn't hear me?" "SOB!" " We must help Scharf out." " To hell with Scharf!" "He's a moron!" "It's his fault we can't keep on living here quietly." "How many times did I warn him about this damned weed!" "If Interpol busts him, he'll haul us down, too." "What shall we do?" "We must run away, Roggers." "Got no other choice now." "Right. I'm so good at running away." "In '43 I ran all the way from Stalingrad, then from Poland, and, finally, from Berlin." "So I got enough experience." "All I want is to live my last years in peace and quiet." "Do you want to turn Scharf in to the authorities?" "Definitely." "It's not okay with me." "He'll haul me down, too." "So what do you suggest?" "To let him go." " Open this can." "How old are you?" " 30." "Why?" "You were not even born when Scharf sent thousands of people to gas chambers" "in the camp where he was a warden." "And I was a prisoner there." "Much water has flown since." "But it seems like it was just yesterday." "Listen, I don't care about Scharf, I care only about myself." "How can I help you?" "When we land in Guaba, I need to disappear." "And you'll be hiding like Scharf your entire life?" "Monsieur, I hate local jails." "Hello." "We're somewhere in the Rocondor Mountains, about 200 km away from the highway leading to Guaba." "We're facing big danger." "We're facing big danger." "Passengers of "Savoya" Flight #627." "Attention, please!" "C5DT." "C5TD, pass this information on from one to another - we're somewhere in the Rocondor Mountains." "Jose, I'm passing it on." "Alright." "Help me to disappear." "I'll pay you good money." "This is in your interest." "Boss." "Boss, this is me, Joker." " Where's Roggers?" " They went to cut them off." "Asshole!" "He should've followed them!" "Okay, I'll give Scharf something to eat." " Want some?" " Yes." "Scharf has escaped!" "Here we are." "Couldn't be worse." "is this your work?" "You think I'm that stupid?" "I wanted to let him go when we get to the plane." "Monsieur Challot!" "Look!" " Janek!" " Yes." " Don't fall behind." " Okay." "Wait." "We're to go that way." "We're somewhere in the Rocondor, about 200 km away from Guaba." "We're in danger." "Passengers of "Savoya" Flight #627." "Send a chopper there and give them their coordinates." "Yes, sir." "How long are we supposed to wait for them here?" "We're running out of provisions." "We'll die here like some dirty dogs!" "Help!" "Help me, please!" "Let go of me!" "Easy." "Easy." "Stay away from me!" "Mom!" "Mom!" "Mom!" "Where's my mother?" "!" "Mom!" "Mom!" " Mom!" " Tanya!" " Tanya, sweetheart!" " Mom!" " Mom!" " Tanya!" " My little girl!" " Mom!" "Mom!" " Mother!" " My sweetie!" "24, Center, 24, Center." "It's 13. it's 13." "13, I'm reading you." "We spotted the "Savoya" plane in quadrant 381 7." "We spotted the "Savoya" plane and some people in quadrant 381 7." "I'll be bringing her down there." "Copy you, 13." "You spotted "Savoya plane and people in quadrant 381 7." " 24, you copied me right." " 13, I allow you to bring her down." "Center, this is 13." "The engine..." " What happened there?" "!" " The engine failed at landing." "And a blade got damaged, goddammit!" "And the screw propeller, too." "Can you imagine this?" " And is your "Savoya" okay?" " Yes." "But we got empty tanks." "We'll take my fuel." "I got enough to fly us to Guaba." " This is Scharf." " Where?" " About 2-3 km from here." " Really?" " We'll bypass the bog on the left." " Yes, sir." " Tell it to the others." " We'll bypass the bog on the left." " How long will it take?" " Till the plane gets refueled." "Good answer." "While you're doing it, we'll all get killed here." "Professor, take the gun." "You'll go with us too." "We need to hold them up and win some time." "How many are they?" "What do you think?" "I think they got enough men to ensure you won't ask this question tomorrow.." " A good gag, monsieur." " Been funny since childhood." "24, Center, 24, Center, it's 13, it's 13." "We've been attacked!" "We've been attacked!" " Send choppers with cops." " l got it." "Give me the gun!" "Follow me!" "Here we are." "Thank God." "This time it hasn't misfired." "The aircraft is ready for take-off." " Get out of here." "Quick." " And you?" "I'll catch up with you." "13,." "13 it's 24." "13 13 it's 24." "All get aboard!" "." "Quick!" "Gido!" "Shit!" " Gido!" " Janek!" " What do you want me to do?" " Don't change the route, please." "You got it, commander."
