Good morning.
Is the train already waiting for us?
Yes, it's waiting for us.
Is it a very long one? - Yes, a very long one.
Let me help you, Mr. Wurm. Have you got a strap?
Are there going to be children too?
Yes, there'll be children. Lots of them.
Little Tony too? - You'll have plenty of friends.
What about toys? I was only allowed to take Lisa.
I'll make you a new doll.
Goodbye.
Will we come back after the holiday?
Such curiosity! - Will it kill me, like it did the cat?
Come on, Jirka.
Good morning.
Excuse me, are the Wurms home?
No. They've gone to the transport.
I'm just here... for Jirka's pet.
Thank you.
Did you want them for something?
No. Not anymore.
Come here. Quick!
Is the flat clean now? - What?
Is the flat clean? - What do you mean?
After the Jews. - There hasn't been time for that.
Not yet.
It's awful. - Yes. I had no idea.
It's only for a few weeks. - A few weeks. I've heard that before.
Is there at least a bathroom? - It's an old house.
There's no bathroom. - Let's take a look around, at least.
Alright.
He's still there.
Why are you crying? - I'm not. I've got a cold.
You'd better go. Someone may come.
Come with me.
Over there.
Wait here a minute. I'll be right back.
Be quiet!
Oh! - Pavel!
Haven't I told you to knock first?
I'm sorry. I didn't know. - It's alright.
Excuse me for a moment.
You know I've got a customer here.
And you shouldn't have talked to that Wurm on the street.
You never know who is watching.
It's not allowed.
Your coffee's gone cold. What did you want?
Nothing. Nothing important. - Idiot! I'm busy.
And hurry up!
Don't forget to buy the string. - Don't worry, Grandpa.
Leave some rolls for me!
Yes, general!
Get out of here!
Hello! Miss?
Why are you hiding? - Someone came up here.
Come on, quick!
Where to? - My mum's storeroom. It's safe.
Come in. Come in, please.
Sit down.
Vojta and I develop photos here.
Please, don't worry. Don't worry.
You know you shouldn't talk to me.
Why? - You're an Aryan.
An Aryan! That's their invention.
Anyone would do this. Wouldn't you?
I can't stay here.
Why not?
25th? That was yesterday. - Yes.
You didn't go to the transport? - No.
My parents left in October. I haven't heard from them since.
I was afraid they weren't there anymore.
I don't want to be put in a cattle wagon like an animal.
But if they catch you now... - See?
D'you still want me to stay here?
Why not? We'll manage somehow.
Stay here for now.
It's all just for now these days. It's the same with us.
I'll finish school and they'll send me to work in the Reich.
Damn! The teacher will kill me!
Here you are. I'll lock the door. Don't make any noise.
I'll come back this evening.
Keep an eye on the guinea pig for me.
Before I forget, I'm Pavel.
I'm Hanka.
Dvorackova. I wonder why these people need to be reminded.
Kubrichtova. I have to pay right away.
Did you fix the alarm clock, Pa? - What?
Did you fix Kubricht's alarm clock? - Not yet. I've been too busy.
I wanted to get the stone for Jindrich's grave...
It's so empty there...
Go to bed, Mum. - Go to bed?
Look! Everything wears out so quickly.
I'll have it patented.
The "Mrazek balance wheel".
People will be amazed! You as well.
Yeah, you may laugh. They laughed at Ressel too.
And Krizik, and Edison ...
I just need a proper bearing.
Tomorrow, Grandpa. I've got a bad headache.
Headache? A generation of sissies...
That's from the sun. Have you got a temperature?
I'm not a child.
Only two seconds delay.
And now the news...
Mrazek patent!
Goodnight.
Go to bed, Mum. - Oh, please...
Other days you stay up late... - You looked so pale today.
I'm worried about you, Mum. - Come on.
Really.
You don't take care of yourself.
You worry too much.
And don't stay up too late.
Goodnight.
Wait!
What is he thinking of? Gives us some sardines...
I wouldn't go with him for a truckload!
I told Hubi not to bring him. His mate from the front...
I hope they don't start breaking glasses again.
Hush! - Is the house haunted?
Good evening. - Good evening.
Why, it's my neighbour!
I hope we didn't wake you up. - No, don't worry.
It's a flat-warming party. Would you like a drink?
No, thank you. I don't drink.
Ah, a saint! - Don't be silly. Go on.
She's had a bit too much to drink.
We have to enjoy the present. We may not be here tomorrow.
Hush!
Goodnight. - Goodnight.
And goodbye.
It's me. D'you remember?
Yes. I'm sorry. I was very tired.
That's just cats.
I hope you have strong teeth.
There was nothing else.
Thank you. You are very kind.
Shall we go? - Do you know where to go?
Yes. - Are you certain?
See? They'll catch you at the first corner.
It doesn't matter anyway. They'll get me one day.
You mustn't say that! - What?
Listen! - Why do you care?
Why did you bring me here?
Was I supposed to just leave you? - You feel sorry for me, don't you?
My dad warned me about people who are sorry
I just wanted to help you!
Who are you? - Who am I? Just an ordinary man.
So what?
Don't be upset with me, please. I'm so silly.
Christ, we're acting like little children!
Look
Here's the key.
We'll think about it tomorrow.
Well? Just for now.
The equation 99^2 + 25y^2 = 225...
The points of intersection of a straight line and an ellipse...
There are three alternatives.
One: two points of intersection, the line is then called a secant.
Two: one point of intersection ...
Rumler! What did you give to Nerad?
Nerad! What's in your mouth?
Nothing.
Open your mouth.
Dolezalovva!
Continue!
Sit down!
Continue, please!
Do you have a minute?
Sit down!
But...
Go back to your seat.
Because of...
Pack your things and go home.
She was lucky, eh?
Mate... - For you? Any time, Duke.
What's happened?
The Reichsprotektor was assassinated this morning.
Alena, please! It's silly. Mum was telling me off.
Last time, I had to wait for half an hour!
Look. - I skipped my piano lesson ...
"Every woman's idol." - From 16 to 80.
With regard to the assassination of the acting Reichsprotektor...
But for that, I'd have failed maths today.
I didn't know a thing. I played volleyball yesterday.
I burnt my back and didn't feel like studying. Just imagine...
The deadline for registration is midnight tonight.
The duty to be registered applies to all persons...
You're not listening to me! - Wait!
...older than 15 years of age.
That's been broadcast since midday.
My dad didn't want to let me go to my lesson.
He made Uncle Karel from Brno go straight to the police.
He said they've started searching the houses.
Rubbish! They can't search the whole city.
D'you know what? I'd rather go to my lesson.
Alena...
Goodbye.
Anyone who knows about people in hiding and doesn't report them immediately.
will also be executed.
I repeat...
Why did you turn it off?
Who wants to listen to that? It gets on your nerves.
Go and turn off all the radios in the building then!
Come in!
May I come in? - Of course.
Good evening.
My name is Kubiasova. - Pleased to meet you.
This is my son.
We've already met.
We're not playing tonight. So I thought...
I have a green skirt and this would make a nice coat.
I'm too busy right now. - They say you are very good.
I just sew for ordinary people.
I don't want you to do it for free. If you need some coffee...
It would take too long.
I hope you don't mind that this is Sara's coat.
She won't need it anymore in Theresienstadt.
So, will you take my measurements?
Well...
Come over here.
...will be executed...
So, is there a storm coming? - Hi.
Listen.
Did you hear that our government asked Frank to put an end to martial law?
He looked at them with his glass eye and said,
"Czechs say there is no law here, so now they've got martial law."
It's fun, isn't it?
Let's put it in print. Big letters across the page
and a photo of that handsome man next to it. Watch out for policemen!
...not registered with the Protectorate. will be executed.
Anyone hiding unregistered persons will also be executed.
Can't you stir it? Do I have to break my neck?
Are you going to do it for her, Mum?
What am I supposed to do?
You act like a small boy.
It's Mrs. Wurm's dress! You made it yourself.
Do you hear that? Do you hear that?!
She only needs to say one word and we'll all be arrested.
You want to be an adult but you act like a boy.
You call this being adult? Then no, thanks!
Is that any way to talk to your mother?
Talk to him, Pa!
If someone wanted a dress
made of human skin,
what could your mother do?
Even if the two of you can't be reasonable, I have to be!
Getting into trouble just because of a piece of rag!
And if I don't do it for her, someone else will.
Have you got any strangers here?
I'll lock up at 9. Nobody is allowed out. They'll shoot them.
You see?!
It's just for now.
You can still smell the hay.
Imagine that you are on a trip.
On a trip?
D'you know what I'd like?
I'd like to see you smile.
I might have forgotten how.
Let's try!
How shall we do it?
Shall I tell some jokes?
Why don't you rip that off? - It's forbidden.
This is not a Protectorate. This is my empire.
I am the king, emperor, dictator!
I allow you to take it off.
My dad wears it too. I'm not ashamed of it.
Do you mind? - No, I don't mind.
Why are you looking at me like that?
How can anyone say that you are different?
What do you mean?
Why should I be different?
I don't think you are!
It's raining...
I would like to go to sleep. Go to sleep and never wake up.
Sit down!
Yes? What do you want?
Your student.
Bubenik.
Yes.
Get your things and come with us.
I know this student. There must be a mistake.
A mistake? His father was hiding an unregistered person,
an enemy of the Reich! Is that enough for you?
Hurry up!
Almost...
Has something happened?
No, nothing. It's hot.
What's bothering you? - Nothing.
Honestly, nothing's bothering me.
Why haven't you eaten anything?
What's the matter?
Have you ever heard silence?
No. Have you?
It murmurs, you know.
Murmurs in my head all the time.
Aren't you scared sometimes, Pavel?
Why should I be scared?
Are you scared? - Yes, I am.
It's inside me all the time. I am so alone here.
I can't stand it anymore. I'll go mad...
I don't want to live anymore.
Hanka!
ANNOUNCEMENT
...SENTENCED TO DEATH...
...DEATH...
What's wrong? - Well...
Pavel, did you take anything from the pantry?
No. Why? - Well...
Look! I bought margarine yesterday, there's only half of it left.
Bread! Also gone.
Who opened the lard?
It wasn't me!
There were five pieces of cheese on Thursday. Now there are three.
I'm not a thief!
So who took it, then? - I don't steal.
If you don't believe me, I'm not going to stay here.
Go then! I can easily find twenty more like you.
Goodbye!
Wait, Pepina!
You stay out of it!
Mum, I took it.
What are you looking at? Get back to your work.
Did you really take it? - I forgot to tell you.
I won't do it again.
We don't lie to each other, do we?
From now on I want to know who takes what.
Good morning.
Hello. What do you want?
Is anyone home? - Who?
The farmer! - In the fields.
Anna!
So, what have you brought us?
Pa, go and have a shave. We'll be able to take pictures.
What else do you have?
What is it for? - Drawing.
Maybe you have a son ... - That is for educated people.
If you had some shoes... - How would I get home?
Then it's tough. We don't have enough. Lots of people from Prague come here...
Hey, young man!
Could you do something for me? - Yes, what is it?
Go to Ujezd and get a doctor!
Tell him to come to Soucek.
And tell him that the midwife is at her wits' end.
Have one.
Let me do it. Lick it.
Is everything alright, doctor? - You have a boy. 3.5 kg.
And next time call me sooner.
What do I owe you? - Forget it. Next time.
Thank you very much. - You're welcome.
Can you give me a push?
Congratulations! - Thank you.
I'll get you something. You were great, Prague-boy!
Hi, Mum!
Where have you been, Pavel? - To school.
And then? - With Vojta. Developing photos.
With Vojta?
Hi! Glad you're back. Original Aqua.
Let's finish it then. Come on.
Goodbye.
Not today, Vojta.
What's up?
We can't. - You've got a girl up there, eh?
Is she pretty?
There's nobody there. Believe me.
You don't need to keep it from me. Don't be so silly.
There's nobody there.
I'll explain it to you later. But I can't today. Not today.
You know what? Sod you and your enlarger!
Goodbye!
I need some new string, Pavel.
Again?
Don't ask him for anything. He's got other worries now.
Men keep quiet about some things. - Men!
Finish school first, then be a man.
Don't look at me like that.
How long can I stand this?
I wanted to get the stone for Jindrich's grave.
We spent the money on food. - He'll forgive you.
What would you know? "Mrazek patent", huh!
I've got plenty of time!
I'll give this to the people. Not to those...
They killed a whole village. And you go on about your patent.
If only you'd repaired the alarm clock! - I've had enough of alarm clocks!
This is my legacy.
It's my monument. - Monument. Monument!
Where were you today, Pavel?
Don't you understand that I'm doing it for you?
I work hard so that you don't have to live in a house like this one.
So that you have an easy life. So that you are well off.
Well off? Is that why you're making that rag for her?
That's what your dad would have done, if he'd heard you.
Yes, that's why I'm making it.
What a hero!
And enough of going out! I won't allow it!
We conclude our report on the transfer of the body...
of Reinhard Heydrich. acting Reichsprotektor...
from Prague Castle to his native Germany.
He hadn't died yet and they already went berserk.
We have to survive it. Survive. There's nothing bad about that.
What are you thinking about?
Mum, please don't ask.
For God's sake, Pavel!
Are you in trouble?
You can't make a difference. They'll lock you up, kill you.
Who for? What for?
If something were to happen to you ...
You don't love me, Pavel.
Mum!
Grandpa, I have to go out. I'll explain everything one day.
I'm not asking you to.
My keys are over there, in the right pocket.
Good evening. - Good evening.
I was so afraid you wouldn't come. - I went to my aunt in the country.
Look what I brought!
Where did you get it? - I can't tell you.
What do they say on the radio? - They are always saying something.
You are keeping something from me.
Why are you women so nosey?
Nobody knows about you. It doesn't concern you. Honestly.
We'll come up with a plan. And then ... - Then ...?
Then we'll go our separate ways.
Would you really like to go out?
Very much. Do you understand? To see meadows and forests again ...
Are there still rivers there?
If I could, I'd jump in and nobody would get me out.
A river?
Here you are!
I'll bring you another river right away.
Hello! Have you come to visit? Me perhaps?
Don't worry, I won't tell your mum.
There's no water on our floor. - Well, here you are.
Are you afraid of me?
I can imagine what people are saying.
If you knew how I sometimes feel. Who knows what tomorrow will bring?
"Just for today. it is worth living..."
I don't love anyone, that's the problem. And nobody loves me.
Men are disgusting.
Sorry, I've got to go home.
And you're leaving me here like this?
I liked you right from the very first day.
Surely you're a good boy.
Come on.
Don't let me beg you.
Come on.
Get off! - I'm all wet now!
You're drunk. - Idiot!
You're beautiful. - No.
Your professor would be angry with us.
Let's have a Latin lesson.
Can I skip the lesson today?
Please.
So...
What shall we do? - I don't know.
Let's dance.
I can't really dance. I only learnt from my dad.
I'll teach you.
May I have the pleasure?
Waltz.
One-two-three. One-two-three.
Chin up! Look at me.
One-two-three. One-two-three...
See? That's better. One-two-three...
Watch out! The river.
No! Please!
I'll open the window.
Am I disturbing you? - No.
I thought you'd come to our cottage on Sunday.
I couldn't make it.
What did I do to you, Pavel?
Come on!
So why are you so cold?
That's just what you think.
Do I know her? - No.
I'm sorry.
Give me another one. A nice one.
Not that it's any of my business. But I don't like to see you upset.
I was so silly.
Hello doggy! What's up?
Get off!
Smile!
Why did you take the enlarger away? - I don't need it anymore.
You've sold it because of me.
I lent it to Vojta. Honestly.
The park warden was short of breath...
Are you still angry with me?
It was open.
You should know that I don't want pity. You have a life out there.
I'm just a burden. - That's not true.
You think it's very romantic, don't you? I don't want to be a burden to you.
I have no right to be that.
I should've gone to the transport. - Be quiet!
Don't you know? Don't you understand? I love you!
JAN BUBENIK, BORN 1924, FROM PRAGUE.
Sit down.
"A great son of the German nation, a true friend of all Czechs,
acting Reichsprotektor Reinhard Heydrich has died.
Shattered, we stand by his coffin, fully aware...
that the mighty fist of the German Reich will come down hard,
not only on assassins in the service of international Jewry
but also on all their accomplices.
Not a single one will go unpunished. Sooner or later..."
Look, Proxima Centauri. It's a binary star.
Two stars revolving around the same centre of gravity.
One around the other. - Like you and me?
Hello, Proxima. Do you think they heard me?
I think they'll hear us in about 4 light years.
Here at this window? - Yes. At this window.
In four years. - The war will be over.
You will study. What do you want to become?
A doctor, like my father. And you?
Me? I'll study physics. Astronomy.
It's so beautiful.
Did you know that the light from the Magellanic Cloud...
takes 200,000 years to get here?
200,000 years? - Yes.
And what is beyond that?
Well, other stars, galaxies, in a word - the universe.
Do you think God is there?
I don't know. I'm more into science. Do you believe in God?
Sometimes I wish he existed. Perhaps he would nod at me
and say, "Come up to me, girl, they don't want you down there.
Because you are Jewish."
But I want you, Hanka. - I know.
He doesn't exist anyway. How could he just watch, if he did?
I'm happy you know so much.
I'm happy you exist.
We'll never part, Hanka.
Pavel! Pavel! They're here.
We'll go to the North Pole together. A day is six months long there.
And a night is six months long too.
Then we can move to the South Pole.
We won't meet in the dark anymore. We'll have plenty of light.
Do you promise? - I promise.
Quiet.
No more silence.
We'll sing and dance all day.
And you'll never leave me alone. You'll bring lots of people.
All of them. White and black and... The whole world.
Pavel!
Get out!
Get out of here!
Shut up! Shut up!
Shut up!
The blanket!
Turn the light off.
More.
Pavel, please, leave him.
Jacky!
Where are you? Where have you gone?
It's okay.
Look what I've found! - Yeah.
Somebody didn't like me moving in. Poor Jacky!
What are you staring at? Moron!
I'm a good Czech woman! But I don't have to take everything!
Good morning. - Good morning.
Why, it's my nice neighbour! Mr. Rumler!
Please! We're all decent people in this building.
You go out at night. Didn't you see my dog?
No, I didn't. Honestly.
I've got to get some milk and go to school.
What does the future have in store for today's young people?
Would you like the buttons covered? - I'll leave it up to you.
If they don't catch Heydrich's killers, they'll kill every tenth Czech.
Just imagine, every tenth one! - They can't!
What about your neighbours? At least they don't have any children.
It's not ready for a fitting. I'm sorry but...
Mrs. Rumlerova, I need to talk to you.
Pavel, who is upstairs?
Who have you got there? What have you done to us?
She knows about it!
Mum! - Whoever it is...
She's got to go. Now! Do you understand?
Mum, she can't. - She can't?
She isn't some...
D'you know what will happen when they find her here?
They'll kill us all. All of us!
Give me the key! - I haven't got it.
The key!
Give me the key. - No!
I'm telling you, give me the key!
Jesus! You'll be the death of me.
I'll take her away, Mum. She'll be gone tomorrow.
But she can't go today. They'll kill her.
No, no, no!
If you do something, I'll run away and never come back!
Pavel!
Pavel, sweetheart!
You know, kids. They grow up and you can't keep any eye on them anymore.
It was the same with our Beta. - I'll have your blouse ready today.
Do you really mean it?
What about Pavel?
I'll give her food and money but she's got to go now!
What if she really can't go? - Who?
It's about Pavel. I am doing it for my child.
You're not going anywhere! I won't allow it!
What won't you allow? Is it any of your business?
Concentrate on your inventions! You good for nothing!
That monument of yours!
You old fool!
Open the door. I'm Pavel's mother.
It's not Pavel's fault. It was me, I was a coward.
Jesus!
People in the house already know about you. What shall we do?
I'll go.
Where will you go? I can't let you go.
You don't know what's going on out there.
Hello, Prague-boy!
How did you find me?
It's nice to see you.
This will be difficult, you know.
What shall I do with you?
You know what? Bring her. - Thank you.
Lick it.
Why do you want to leave?
They mustn't kill you, Pavel!
My mum was here, wasn't she? - No. I love you very much.
That's why I have to leave. - I'm not going to let you go.
If they find me, they'll kill you, your mum, all the innocent people.
You are innocent too!
I'll take you away tomorrow.
Pavel, we mustn't argue anymore. I know what I have to do now.
You have to live. - In this world? It's not worth it.
Not without you.
I'll take you away tomorrow.
We'll go together. You must believe me!
I know where. I'm not lying anymore.
Nobody will find us there.
There are woods, sun ... And there's a river there.
Tomorrow, Hanka. Tomorrow.
What's going on? - That's gunfire.
Gunfire? In the city? - I recognise it from the front.
Don't go near the windows.
My God! Pa!
Where's Pavel?
Yes. - Hubi.
Quick. Hurry up. - I'm scared!
Go back to bed. Understand? - Come here.
I'll be back by midday.
Goodbye, Hubi. - Goodbye.
Has she gone? - Yes, yes.
They got them! - Who?
The ones who killed Heydrich.
Round the corner from here. In some church.
Now they'll search house to house!
So, that's it! You've come to get your son.
From that woman!
Don't shout, please. - What? They'll kill us all!
It's about all of us. And I will tell them!
We've got an unregistered woman here in our building.
In Rumler's storeroom.
I'm not going to get killed because of some bitch!
No!
Be sensible.
I'll get her out of here, while there's still time.
Wait!
So that's it! It's because of this Jewess!
Get out of here!
Pavel! - Hanka!
Be sensible, my child!
Where will you go? Come into our flat.
What are you doing? She's got to go! You're crazy!
Yeah, I'm an old fool. You can denounce me.
I'm not going to get shot. She's got to go! Right now!
Pavel!
Leave her alone!
What has she done to you? - You fool. They search houses.
She's got to go!
What are you doing? - I'll kill you!
Get off!
Wait, you can't go out.
Pavel! - I'll kill her.
Hanka!
I won't let you go. - Let me go!
You can't help her. - Let go!
Pavel! Pavel! - Let go!
I hate you!
Hanka! Hanka!
Don't go out!
Young lady! Young lady, don't go out! There's shooting going on!
Close the door! Close the door!
Let me out! Let me out!
No! No! No!
No! I won't allow it!
I won't allow it!
