SILENCE OF ICE PILLAR
Tatiana Kozuirev. You will be executed in two days.
What's it like, bringing the truth to your tomb ?
Who are you ? Were you sent by Griefield ? - I am a mercenary.
Tell that busy body that I was convicted.
The penalty of death has been given and I do not wish to make an appeal.
He can do whatever he wants, I will obey the law.
Whatever he asked you to do, don't count on my cooperation.
You'd better leave.
What did she say ?
She will not cooperate. - I was certain of it.
She is condemned to death, but she does not claim to say the truth.
Try to see if she really deserves that judgement.
It is still time to stop.
You are the only one I can count on.
As director, I cannot investigate on my own
You got to protect your back, is that it ?
This country has no pity for rebels.
Why do you worry about the fate of this woman ?
I have been watching the prisoners for 20 years.
I believe I know how they think, when they are jailed.
They never say the truth.
Tatiana Kozuirev, ex-commander of the 3rd company secret services.
The military tribunal of Zagard 1833 will deliver its verdict.
The sentence : death.
The charges held : treason of State.
I hate assisting executions.
It is not you that was condemned.
Do you know the last words of the philosopher, Socrates ?
"The law is law."
He would have said that while drinking a cup of poison.
And that applies also to executions ?
Wrong, as an executant of the law,
I want to be sure that the sentence is justified.
One thing is certain,
she wants to be executed after tomorrow.
Details on Tatiana ? She was a really good agent.
Commander Riefen and her were a team.
They would never miss a mission.
Treason of state ! Who would have thought ?
If they heard me, I would go there too.
Tatiana would get herself out of every situation.
What ever happened, she would always find the best solution,
the one that minimized loss.
If she became a double agent, it is because she had no choice.
What are you looking for, exactly ?
Something invisible to the naked eye.
That girl is too young to be a widow.
What do you think ?
Not at all. We are very proud of my son.
Riefen sacrificed his live for his country.
What do I live off ? I receive a survivor's pension.
But that woman, it's not the same.
Tatiana abandoned my son and the others and betrayed her country.
She deserves the death penalty.
My son died abroad. I cannot even bury him.
She alone came back. Just like nothing happened.
The Kozuirev, Tatiana's family, are a big name in the military.
With her execution, her lineage will die. She can be proud.
But my son's name will not disappear. That suits her.
The law orders the removal of the traitor's family,
but she is the last Kozuirev.
You went to my place ? I bet you found nothing.
You must have verified it. I am the last Kozuirev.
It's better that way.
It's better that way ?
You are still going to keep looking ?
Nothing is forcing you to find the truth. It's sufficient to invent it.
It's what I have always done.
It is what one would say.
What bug bit you ? - The execution is for tomorrow.
I know. - Shut up.
What did you show her ? She went pale.
You forget that you work for me.
An identification tag ? Where did you find it ?
It belongs to Sergei Riefen, one of her men.
He is supposed to have died on a mission.
Someone saw the body ? - Only Tatiana.
Answer me. Where was it ?
In Estangia.
You went there ?
The sky is clear there. It is not like here.
The blue sky is really impressive. - I don't care.
All I want to know is... - The color of the sky is important...
The sky ?
Tatiana, you are lying.
It's the others that should be judged.
This man says he received that from commander Riefen, in person.
You have nothing to tell me ?
No.
Repeat what you have just told me.
Let me in.
Why ?
This window obstructs me.
The weather is beautiful !
Estangia is known for its landscapes and its tropical climate.
We are better off than in Zagard. It is obvious.
I have always liked blue skies.
That is why I betrayed my country and came here.
What if I told you that I betrayed my country for a piece of blue sky, would you believe me ?
You had me come here to talk about the weather ?
It's important to know your environment.
For you, who travels a lot, this might not be of interest.
Ever been to Zagard ? - Yes.
I was going to ask you to go there.
To do what ? - Listen carefully.
We are from the Zagard secret service. We were sent here on a mission.
Except Tatiana, our chief, we all went to the enemy.
And you sold information on Zagard to Estangia
To remember the good old days.
All that because of the weather ? - Not entirely.
Compared to Zagard, this place is a corner of paradise.
We respect Tatiana, but lifestyle is more important than respect.
I am not crazy to the point of dying for my country.
Tatiana let us be.
But as long as she is alive,
we can't admire the blue sky in peace.
She is going to be executed. - You know about it?
I do not intend to wait for her execution. We got to cover our backs.
At any moment, Tatiana might yield to fear and change her mind.
I am not the only one to risk big as long as she is alive.
Sorry, I am not a hitman.
You surely went there for the money. - He called me, that's all.
Everybody thinks that mercenaries are hitmen.
You could have said that earlier.
You have a family ? - What's your point ?
It is not too late. Make an appeal. I'll testify.
Nobody will believe a mercenary.
What are you saying ? Those traitors should be in your place.
Why ? Why are you so intent on dying ?
You failed your mission and you want to pay for your men ?
Obey the law and put me on the electric chair.
I cannot believe that the law will permit to kill an innocent.
I will see what I can do.
Why does he want to help me ? - He doesn't want to execute an innocent.
You are well placed to understand that.
The court has condemned me for my crime against the state.
That is why I will be executed.
It is serious enough to kill the family of the murderer ?
I told you the plain truth. - What proves that to me ?
Where are the soldiers ? Do their families know ?
Are you insinuating that the court is wrong ?
Who discovered the secret ? - That is to say that...
Understand the personal consequences this could have.
All that worries me, is the truth.
The truth is not considered in the army.
For her, all that matters is to win.
To win all the while minimizing loss for your allies.
You have to protect your men, also their families and civilians.
A true soldier only thinks about victory.
He always tries to minimize allied losses
Sometimes, this principal is in conflict with the truth.
Bottom line, when the truth bursts and you have to minimize loss,
instinctively, the commander chooses who will be sacrificed.
He doesn't think about what will happen, but what can be saved.
Understand ?
After the execution, you will be relieved of your duties.
What are you doing there ?
Before their execution, the condemned can say farewell to their families.
You know that I have no family.
Riefen had one, as well as the other four men.
They had a wife, bothers and sisters and parents.
She wants to give an example to the state.
That is what Tatiana said ?
Without that, she would have talked.
What did we judge then ?
It is the truth that we judged.
We are ready to execute the penalty. - Good.
Hey, mercenary !
The sky is dark today.
The sky ?
I don't know where you are going, but I can drop you off.
So we can think that I am on your side !
Don't worry, I 'm unemployed. I don’t have a side anymore.
