00:00:00The year is 1943, the end of July.
00:00:21At the beginning of this year, the Germans suffered a devastating defeat near Stalingrad, which reversed the fate of the war.
00:00:29The second crushing blow was the Great Battle of Kursk, which eventually took the initiative of the Germans on the Eastern Front.
00:00:40The German troops were also driven out of North Africa.
00:00:45The Allies landed in Sicily and occupied it.
00:00:50The tragic losses in the people that the German army suffered on the fronts require the replenishment of the bloodied units.
00:00:59In Silesia, the pressure to sign the so-called Volksliste is increasing.
00:01:06It gives the authorities the right to call for military service.
00:01:11Those who did not sign the Volksliste were considered Poles with all the consequences of this fact.
00:01:22They were threatened by long-running chicanes and persecution, and further extermination.
00:01:29But as the losses increase, the German authorities begin to call for the troops of those who did not sign the Volksliste.
00:01:39At that time, there were no major changes in the Pasternik family.
00:01:44Tomasz lives in the General Governorate in the vicinity of Kraków.
00:01:49There is still no news of Wolka.
00:01:53Zygmunt is still working in the mine.
00:01:56So is Robert.
00:01:59Gustek lives in Kraków, works in the Office of the General Governor and cooperates with the Underground Organization.
00:02:07Rysiek spent half a year in hospital.
00:02:10After his recovery, he was assigned to the Western Front.
00:02:13He found himself in the northern region of France, inhabited largely by the Polish people.
00:02:22Henryk fights in the Polish Army in the West.
00:02:26Wanda lives with her daughters in Kraków.
00:02:30Paulina and Teresa are still working.
00:02:34Stanik and Róża endure the hardships of war with dignity.
00:02:39Jerzy and Irma are worried about the fate of their sons.
00:02:44Willy was wounded near Stalingrad.
00:02:47He was released from the army with a stiff leg.
00:02:49As a military invalid, he received a large commodity house in Sosnowiec, taken from the former owner, a Pole.
00:02:56Werner works in the Gestapo on the so-called Internal Front.
00:03:01Wisia works in the hospital.
00:03:04Krysia still lives in the apartment of Bolka.
00:04:02The General Headquarters of the Armed Forces
00:04:05The General Headquarters of the Armed Forces
00:04:28The General Headquarters of the Armed Forces sends a message.
00:04:32There are fierce battles in the area of Białystok.
00:04:35Our brave troops resist the massive forces of the enemy.
00:04:40You will go with me. Where to? You'll find out.
00:05:10The General Headquarters of the Armed Forces
00:05:16When they sent the message, he said.. .
00:05:20What does it mean?
00:05:22That they are fools.
00:05:23Who?
00:05:24The Russians.
00:05:26That they still want to fight. They will lose anyway.
00:05:30Certainly.
00:05:31No matter who you were serving for.
00:05:35l came here from the Party service, to the mine, to make peace with the enemies.
00:05:41lt's very nice of you to come from the propaganda to the mine.
00:05:46lt's a pity it's not down there. There's plenty of room for the workers.
00:05:52That's all. Thank you.
00:06:01We have to keep an eye on him.
00:06:04l'll go with him.
00:06:07We'll see.
00:06:34General Headquarters of the Armed Forces
00:06:54Have a seat, Kunert.
00:06:58l have a task for you.
00:07:00Everything indicates that we will finally catch this scoundrel.
00:07:04The military health service reports that for some time now.. .
00:07:08..the soldiers in Upper Silesia are suffering from strange diseases, especially after the holidays.
00:07:13Yes, some infections, unhealing wounds, requiring long-term treatment.
00:07:18The military health service has long suspected that the doctors are involved.
00:07:23The Poles, of course.
00:07:26Unfortunately, we have to use their services.
00:07:29Come in.
00:07:39One of them probably fell into our hands.
00:07:42Oh, yes.
00:07:44Conduct a check-up at Dr. Kulicki's.
00:07:47He's a Pole, but he has a good opinion.
00:07:51He's in the hospital now. Then he's on duty.
00:07:54You have plenty of time. The check-up must be thorough.
00:07:58Yes, sir.
00:08:00lt's not a pharmacy, but he may have some medicine at home.
00:08:03Take this and bring it here.
00:08:05Yes, sir.
00:08:07Do it.
00:08:28Yes, sir.
00:08:59What are you doing here?
00:09:01Kulicki has a Gestapo.
00:09:03How do you know?
00:09:05l saw them coming.
00:09:07What was he after?
00:09:09Nothing. He's going to the front.
00:09:14But the doctor is on duty today.
00:09:17l didn't know that.
00:09:19l'll go to the hospital. l'll find out.
00:09:22All right.
00:09:24But be careful.
00:09:28Maybe he doesn't know anything.
00:09:30No.
00:09:33l'll warn him.
00:09:35Mm-hm.
00:09:38l'll go to the hospital.
00:09:40l'll call you.
00:09:42Yes, ma'am.
00:09:45l'll warn him.
00:09:47Mm-hm.
00:10:02Wait for me here.
00:10:04l'll be right back.
00:10:06Wait here.
00:10:08l think l have a right to know.
00:10:10Let my daughter go.
00:10:12What if they come here?
00:10:14Mr. Mendera, you'll go alone.
00:10:21Heitler!
00:10:35Dr. Kulicki?
00:10:37Gentlemen, please wait.
00:10:39Are you Dr. Kulicki?
00:10:41Yes. What's going on?
00:10:43Take down the house.
00:10:45Why?
00:10:47Faster, faster.
00:10:49Slowly, slowly.
00:10:51And put your hoofs together.
00:10:53Please don't disturb us.
00:10:55This is a hospital.
00:10:57l don't want to disturb you.
00:10:59l don't want to disturb you.
00:11:01Please don't disturb us. Let's go.
00:11:03This is a military hospital.
00:11:05My superior is Dr. Helbig.
00:11:09l can only follow his orders.
00:11:11Please.
00:11:14Do you recognize this signature?
00:11:18Hurry up.
00:11:31Let's go.
00:11:50Dr. Kulicki?
00:12:01What's going on?
00:12:19l don't know, nurse.
00:12:31l don't know, nurse.
00:13:01Let's go.
00:13:27So?
00:13:29They took him.
00:13:42Because of me.
00:13:45Don't say that.
00:13:47How?
00:13:50l sent those who didn't want to go to the front.
00:13:55l gave my word for each of them.
00:14:00lt's also my fault.
00:14:03l told you to go to him.
00:14:11Do you think they took him because of that?
00:14:14Or maybe it's something else?
00:14:19What if it is?
00:14:22Do you think he'll tell?
00:14:24Don't worry. Kulicki...
00:14:29Someone had to send him.
00:14:33One of those l sent.
00:14:38No.
00:14:41l can't stay at home tonight.
00:14:47My mother is used to me coming home late.
00:14:50But if l don't come home tonight, she'll worry.
00:14:54She has enough on her mind.
00:14:57You'll go to her...
00:15:02and tell her l won't stay at home.
00:15:05lf she asks where you are, what should l say?
00:15:11Tell her not to worry.
00:15:14What will you do?
00:15:16l'll dance somewhere.
00:15:18Maybe here?
00:15:21No. lt wouldn't be safe here.
00:15:26No, no.
00:15:28l'll dance somewhere.
00:15:31l'll come to the mine in the morning.
00:15:34They'll be waiting for you.
00:15:36Probably.
00:15:39But l can't get into their hands.
00:15:42l'll have to make sure.
00:15:44lt's safest down there.
00:15:46lt's safest down there.
00:15:54l don't like it.
00:15:56He always goes to her first.
00:15:58But he never stays there.
00:16:01No.
00:16:03He doesn't stay at home for hours.
00:16:06Don't worry.
00:16:08She'll have a nice son.
00:16:10l'll have two.
00:16:13l told you, he's coming.
00:16:17Did you come alone?
00:16:19Who? Zygmunt?
00:16:21What happened?
00:16:23Nothing. Calm down.
00:16:25l don't know.
00:16:27l really don't know.
00:16:29Listen.
00:16:31You may be my son.
00:16:34Tell me the truth.
00:16:36l don't know.
00:16:38Tell him not to stay at home.
00:16:41Tell him not to stay at home.
00:16:45What are you doing?
00:16:47What are you doing?
00:16:51You really don't know anything?
00:16:53l don't know.
00:16:55He suspects they'll be arrested at night.
00:16:57You can't tell her that.
00:16:59l'm going to the mine.
00:17:01l'll find out.
00:17:03There's no need.
00:17:05Such questions may arouse suspicion.
00:17:09Why are you so worried?
00:17:11l'm worried, too.
00:17:13Like you.
00:17:34ls your ass hurting?
00:17:36Why the curiosity?
00:17:38You'll see.
00:17:45l'd like to help him.
00:17:48lt's a professional habit.
00:17:50Yes.
00:17:54We need robbers here,
00:17:56not doctors.
00:18:06Let's go.
00:18:22Please.
00:18:25You don't look well, doctor.
00:18:38Cigarette?
00:19:10Be reasonable.
00:19:14You studied in Vienna, in Germany.
00:19:17You owe the Germans your position.
00:19:21You didn't pay them back,
00:19:23but it's all for repair.
00:19:27Where did you get the ammunition we found in your cellar?
00:19:34l've already told you.
00:19:37At the end of August, a few days before the outbreak,
00:19:41l set up a checkpoint.
00:19:45lt's for checking.
00:19:48Ammunition was brought in.
00:19:50Medicines, too.
00:19:52ln September, l informed the German authorities.
00:19:56Some were taken, some remained.
00:20:00l wasn't interested.
00:20:04You don't want to be reasonable.
00:20:07Yes, sir.
00:20:14The military medical service reports
00:20:16that some soldiers in our area are suffering from strange diseases,
00:20:20especially on leave.
00:20:22These are some infections that require long-term treatment.
00:20:27Medicine knows such cases.
00:20:30Enough of that.
00:20:33Who sent the soldiers to you?
00:20:37Who did you give this shit to?
00:20:42l don't know what you're talking about.
00:20:47Take them away.
00:20:54Of course, our hospital laboratory can't give a full analysis.
00:20:58We sent samples to Wroclaw.
00:21:00One thing is certain.
00:21:02This preparation was done amateurishly.
00:21:05lt has strong toxic properties.
00:21:08We tried it on a dog.
00:21:10His paw swelled with high fever.
00:21:13l can hardly believe that l hired a surgeon,
00:21:16a doctor of medical sciences,
00:21:18who, instead of treating, gave poison.
00:21:22You don't know any Poles?
00:21:24No.
00:21:25Get up!
00:21:29Get up!
00:21:33Get up!
00:21:50He's got a dream.
00:21:53Leave him alone.
00:21:56Let him sleep. Don't feel sorry for him.
00:21:59Why shouldn't l?
00:22:02lf Wachman sees him, we'll all be in trouble.
00:22:07Hey, sleeper!
00:22:09Get up!
00:22:23Oh, God! lt's cold!
00:22:37Yes?
00:22:41Damn it!
00:22:44When?
00:22:49He ruined our plan.
00:22:52That's all?
00:23:06Come in.
00:23:19Can l report?
00:23:20Please.
00:23:26As we suspected, Tsiankali.
00:23:30lf it weren't for the expert...
00:23:33We can't get anything out of him.
00:23:35The case is closed.
00:23:37Please put it in the archive.
00:23:39lt's not all lost yet.
00:23:41We've got this soldier in our hands.
00:23:44Not Colleague Kunert.
00:23:46He's in the hands of the robber.
00:23:49lt's a pity.
00:23:50He could have told us something.
00:23:52He's told us everything.
00:23:54He got it from Kulicki.
00:23:58Kulicki didn't predict that this bastard...
00:24:01would die in a car accident.
00:24:03He wasn't worthy of wearing a German soldier's uniform.
00:24:07Someone sent him to that doctor.
00:24:10That someone also found out from someone.
00:24:13And we'd have the whole chain in our hands.
00:24:16Don't be silly, Kunert.
00:24:18Two were in our hands and they had something to tell us.
00:24:22They're both dead.
00:24:24You arrested the doctor, the Pole.
00:24:27And you didn't tell us to examine him thoroughly.
00:24:30You left a wire.
00:24:32lt's the most important link in the whole chain, Colleague Kunert.
00:24:36There was no order.
00:24:39Get out.
00:24:48Get out.
00:24:54They're hiding the prisoners under the wall.
00:24:57Maybe the doctor is there, too.
00:24:59We're not going there.
00:25:01The grave can be watched.
00:25:07We'll stay here, at least.
00:25:09But we'll also pray for him.
00:25:13Did he think about me before he died?
00:25:18He must have regretted that l caused him all this trouble.
00:25:23When they took him to the hospital, he gave me a sign not to be afraid.
00:25:27No, he didn't know anything about you.
00:25:30He knew l was your girlfriend.
00:25:34What a fate.
00:25:36One dies so that the other can live.
00:25:39He lived for many and died alone.
00:25:43They killed him.
00:25:45Do you think anyone will remember him?
00:25:51Those who survive will have to remember him.
00:25:55We must survive.
00:25:57We must.
00:26:10l feel sorry for Krysia.
00:26:12She's all alone.
00:26:14There's still no word from Olga.
00:26:17Her mother didn't have to die.
00:26:20l remember it like it was yesterday.
00:26:23The inmate said she was pretending to be sick.
00:26:26lf they took her, she'd be on the table.
00:26:29She'd be on the table.
00:26:31She'd be on the table.
00:26:33She'd be on the table.
00:26:35She'd be on the table.
00:26:37She'd be on the table.
00:26:39lf they took her, she'd be on the table.
00:26:42But you don't have to hurry for her.
00:27:07You're late.
00:27:23You're going to bed.
00:27:27Your mother will be happy.
00:27:29Not today.
00:27:31l'm sorry.
00:27:33You're sad.
00:27:35l have to cry.
00:27:51What took you so long?
00:27:53What do you want?
00:27:55There's a letter for you.
00:27:57A letter?
00:28:05What is it?
00:28:16What is this letter, Zygmunt?
00:28:20Mother, do you know what a nobleman is?
00:28:23Permission to kill.
00:28:26You can legally slaughter a pig or a goat.
00:28:29Please.
00:28:31Let mother read it.
00:28:33To the army. No.
00:28:35Not to the army, mother.
00:28:37But to slaughter.
00:28:41No.
00:28:43They won't get me.
00:28:45Zygmunt, my child, what do they want from you?
00:28:49For me to fight for them.
00:28:51For the Führer, for the Gestapo.
00:28:53And for all those Wajdachs.
00:28:55Maybe it's Bestorz who signed it.
00:28:58No, mother.
00:29:00lt's not that. l'm an adult. l'm responsible for myself.
00:29:04Mother signed it, but l didn't.
00:29:06That's all that matters.
00:29:09l see.
00:29:11Father and brothers are suffering.
00:29:16And mother has gone mad.
00:29:21Mother doesn't say anything like that.
00:29:24l do.
00:29:26You have a different wind in your head.
00:29:28You're going somewhere.
00:29:31Who's going to cover your bed?
00:29:33Who's going to cook for you when you come back?
00:29:36Someone has to be there and wait for you all.
00:29:39Yes, mother.
00:29:41Do you think it would be easy to sign it?
00:29:45Paulina, Tomasz Pasternik's wife.
00:29:49l wouldn't sign it if it weren't for father.
00:29:52What about father?
00:29:55He's out of his mind.
00:29:57He told me to sign it.
00:30:04Zygmunt.
00:30:06Go to them.
00:30:09Go to them.
00:30:11To the army.
00:30:13Tell them l only have you.
00:30:16And not one complaint.
00:30:18Maybe they'll complain about you too.
00:30:25l'll try.
00:30:27Not now. The offices are closed.
00:30:30No, l'll go.
00:30:32Maybe someone will help me.
00:30:35Go, son.
00:30:39The best thing is that mother thinks l'm advertising.
00:30:45l'm going.
00:30:50God bless you, father.
00:30:52God bless you, father.
00:30:54Goodbye, Zyg.
00:30:56Goodbye.
00:31:09What's wrong?
00:31:11You're leaving me alone.
00:31:14Don't say that.
00:31:18Maybe l'll come up with something.
00:31:21What do you want to do?
00:31:24l don't know yet.
00:31:27You always said we should know everything about each other.
00:31:32l did.
00:31:34But time has brought a little change.
00:31:38What can l do now?
00:31:40Deserter from the army?
00:31:42They'll look for a deserter's family.
00:31:45You too.
00:31:47They'll ask what Zygmunt Pasternik was going to do.
00:31:50You'll tell them l'll tell them.
00:31:56l've got 10 days left.
00:32:20l'm going.
00:32:35Does it hurt so much?
00:32:37Zygmunt's army is coming.
00:32:40They're coming in droves.
00:32:42l didn't think they'd take him.
00:32:44We have to help him.
00:32:46How?
00:32:47Through father.
00:32:49There's no such thing as a war.
00:32:53l think it's different.
00:32:55Mother knows where father is.
00:32:57What are you talking about?
00:32:59She's always worried about Zbyszek and Olga.
00:33:02She goes to church,
00:33:04she's always wondering about them.
00:33:07She doesn't know anything about them.
00:33:10You're not a mother yet.
00:33:15You don't know what it means to be a child
00:33:17and what it means to be a husband.
00:33:19A child is your blood.
00:33:21You cry more for a child than for a husband.
00:33:24l didn't want to give birth to you.
00:33:26You'll give birth to a child
00:33:28and then they'll send you to war.
00:33:34You're right.
00:33:36Zygmunt's family is spreading.
00:33:39Tomek told me
00:33:41that if they wanted to take him to the army
00:33:44l could meet him.
00:33:54l've heard you're going to the army.
00:33:58That's a great honour.
00:34:00Congratulations.
00:34:02l really appreciate it, sir.
00:34:05What's the title for?
00:34:08l'm glad that one of the family members
00:34:11will be a German soldier.
00:34:14As you know,
00:34:16Willi has already made a sacrifice for his homeland.
00:34:19Werner is also on the front,
00:34:21but alive and well.
00:34:23There are no enemies there either.
00:34:25lt's an extremely dangerous service.
00:34:27You can get poisoned with confiscated food,
00:34:29get an ear infection from eavesdropping.
00:34:32You're funny.
00:34:34How's it going with Boroway?
00:34:37Before the departure,
00:34:39we'll give each of you a pack of various herbs
00:34:42that may be useful to the soldier.
00:34:45Goodbye.
00:34:51You have paid leave until the day of departure.
00:35:00Here's your leave card.
00:35:02lf you want to go somewhere during this time,
00:35:05you need it.
00:35:07And please go to room 21.
00:35:10You'll get a pack for the front.
00:35:27Ujek knows.
00:35:29What does NSDAP mean?
00:35:32How come he doesn't know?
00:35:34Our people are far away, but they'll come.
00:35:37That's good.
00:35:41Not bad.
00:35:45Do you know where Gustek is?
00:35:49Don't mention him.
00:35:51Don't talk like that.
00:35:53Why?
00:35:56l thought they might be able to help me.
00:36:00Him?
00:36:03l don't know if you'd have so much money.
00:36:07Don't talk like that.
00:36:09We don't know where he is.
00:36:12Close or far away.
00:36:15As far as l know.
00:36:19He's not our son anymore.
00:36:33Zygmunt.
00:36:35l like the fact that you don't want to go
00:36:38to that ha-ha soldier.
00:36:41And how can l make you not go there?
00:36:49l'll tell you something.
00:36:52l don't want you to go there.
00:36:56l don't want you to go there.
00:36:59l'll tell you something.
00:37:02My older brother, Antek,
00:37:06was looking for a shelter in Sosnowiec.
00:37:12And he found it.
00:37:15l heard.
00:37:17Father told me.
00:37:20Antek is dead.
00:37:23But the shepherds must be there.
00:37:28Try it.
00:37:58Good morning.
00:37:59Good morning.
00:38:00Have l seen Mr. Shepherd?
00:38:02l'm sorry, l didn't introduce myself.
00:38:04l'm also a shepherd.
00:38:06Zygmunt.
00:38:08Mieczysław is my father's third brother.
00:38:12Mieczysław is dead.
00:38:15l didn't know.
00:38:17l'm sorry.
00:38:19What's the matter?
00:38:21l don't know.
00:38:24l didn't know.
00:38:26l'm sorry.
00:38:27What's the matter?
00:38:30l wanted to visit my relatives.
00:38:33Grandpa Stanik gave me the address
00:38:35and told me to visit you here.
00:38:39Please.
00:38:50Good morning.
00:38:52He's a shepherd from Silesia.
00:38:55This is my son Michał and his daughter Zosia.
00:38:58Please, have a seat.
00:39:00You?
00:39:01What kind of family are we?
00:39:03Sons of cousins.
00:39:04What is this?
00:39:06Michał and Zosia had their own tailor's workshop before the war.
00:39:11But one of you came.
00:39:16He liked it.
00:39:18l took them from the workshop.
00:39:22l took them.
00:39:24He was from Chorzów.
00:39:26He spoke Polish, like us.
00:39:29Almost all Germans in Silesia speak Polish.
00:39:32Yes.
00:39:33My father was shot by SS men on the street.
00:39:36He's from Katowice.
00:39:37Really?
00:39:41l'll go now.
00:39:44Be careful.
00:39:45Why so fast?
00:40:05Why did he come here?
00:40:08Maybe he really wanted to visit us.
00:40:10No one has visited us for a long time.
00:40:15Exactly.
00:40:16What does my mother know about them?
00:40:18Maybe they're Germans who speak Polish.
00:40:21They started to work in Stalingrad and Kursk.
00:40:25Now they're looking for a Polish family.
00:40:28Don't forget that your grandfather had to come here.
00:40:32Not because he was German.
00:40:34He was a soldier.
00:40:36l can't believe that he just wanted to visit us.
00:40:46l regret that l went there.
00:40:50They had complaints about me.
00:40:52That someone took their workshop.
00:40:55And that someone from Katowice shot their father.
00:40:58Don't forget how many people went there to take houses, shops, factories.
00:41:03And there were few of them in the police.
00:41:05Who went there?
00:41:07Your father or mine?
00:41:08Germans went there.
00:41:10lt's hard for them to understand.
00:41:16Why did you go there?
00:41:18l thought that they would help me.
00:41:21That they have some contacts.
00:41:23You can make a lot of money.
00:41:24After all, it's a family.
00:41:26And they don't care about me.
00:41:29Here are some souvenirs.
00:41:37Here you are.
00:41:50There are only 8 days left.
00:41:52What will you do?
00:41:56lf l calculate it by hours,
00:41:59it will be 8 times 24.
00:42:04Almost 200 hours.
00:42:06And how many minutes?
00:42:08Don't joke.
00:42:11l don't know what l will do.
00:42:15But one thing is certain.
00:42:20They won't get me.
00:42:268 DAYS LATER
00:42:318 DAYS LATER
00:42:55Good morning.
00:42:56Good morning.
00:43:01Come in, please.
00:43:14Are you going on a trip?
00:43:16Yes, l am.
00:43:18l'm taking advantage of the last days of my free time.
00:43:20l'm thinking of an attractive route.
00:43:22For two people, right?
00:43:24My sister-in-law is very thoughtful.
00:43:31Kasia...
00:43:35l'm sorry.
00:43:37lt's not because l'm jealous.
00:43:40lt's out of kindness.
00:43:42You're like a brother to me,
00:43:44and a mother-in-law to my mother-in-law.
00:43:47Don't you know where your mother-in-law is?
00:43:50She's not here.
00:43:51She didn't tell me where she was going.
00:43:53Maybe she went on a date.
00:43:55Let her try.
00:43:57l'll tell my father-in-law after the war.
00:43:59ls it a warning for me?
00:44:02Of course.
00:44:04When Bolek was leaving, he asked me to keep an eye on you.
00:44:10Krysia...
00:44:12l don't want anyone young to have a break-up like yours.
00:44:17But l'd like everyone to have a girl
00:44:19who waits for her boyfriend like you do for Bolek.
00:44:22l have to go. Goodbye.
00:44:24You're leaving?
00:44:25Yes, l thought my mother was back.
00:44:27Do you know where she is?
00:44:29No, l thought she was at home.
00:44:32Goodbye.
00:44:58Zygmunt...
00:45:00Mom?
00:45:03What happened?
00:45:05Something happened.
00:45:08Your father wants to see you.
00:45:12Don't look at me like that.
00:45:14Look at the photo.
00:45:16The one with Bolek and Krysia.
00:45:19l don't want to see you.
00:45:21l don't want to see you.
00:45:23l don't want to see you.
00:45:25Don't look at me like that.
00:45:27Change the photo.
00:45:29Mom, what are you doing?
00:45:32Sit down and listen.
00:45:35Father said it's good you don't want to go to the army.
00:45:40He said you didn't remember.
00:45:43He said it in Polish.
00:45:45Mom...
00:45:47Did you really see your father?
00:45:50You don't believe your mother.
00:45:52You think you know where he is.
00:45:55lt was his will.
00:45:57l had to stick to it.
00:46:00lt's better this way.
00:46:02What about father?
00:46:04You'll meet him the day after tomorrow.
00:46:07l'll tell you when you'll go and when you'll meet him.
00:46:11l'll tell you everything.
00:46:13But first l have to drink something warm.
00:46:17Mom...
00:46:20You're...
00:46:22You're wonderful.
00:46:24l'll make you some tea.
00:46:27Good tea.
00:46:29You're happy now.
00:46:33You won't go to the army.
00:46:36lt's your joy.
00:46:38But you won't stay at home either.
00:46:41You'd better go.
00:46:45Father said no shepherd will work for the Germans.
00:46:49Maybe a shepherd, but not a shepherd.
00:46:53l have to stick to it.
00:47:15l'll tell you when you'll go and when you'll meet him.
00:47:19Father!
00:47:41Hello.
00:47:42Father!
00:47:43Calm down, son.
00:47:45We have to behave like friends.
00:47:48We don't have much time. Your train is leaving soon.
00:47:51Do you have a photograph?
00:47:53Yes.
00:47:56All right. Come on.
00:48:00Now listen.
00:48:02You'll come here again in three days.
00:48:05You'll come by the same train and walk the same way.
00:48:09You'll get a postcard and a pass through the border.
00:48:13You'll bring it to Gustek personally.
00:48:17Yes, although he's not called Vanad now.
00:48:20Uncle Robert...
00:48:22He talks badly about him.
00:48:25Does he know anything about him?
00:48:27No, l don't think so.
00:48:29The anger is from before the war.
00:48:31He's a very brave boy.
00:48:33He works for both sides and risks a lot.
00:48:35But he's very helpful to us.
00:48:37To whom?
00:48:39To us. You'll find out later.
00:48:42What would Aunt Wanda do without him?
00:48:45Can l tell Aunt Wanda about it?
00:48:48No.
00:48:50No?
00:48:52Better not.
00:48:54He tried to get the documents for you.
00:48:57When he found out it was for you,
00:48:59he said he'd give it to you personally.
00:49:02That's nice of him.
00:49:04It's a pity l can't tell Aunt Wanda about it.
00:49:07Now you have to learn a new name,
00:49:09surname, date and place of birth.
00:49:13You'll have to learn a lot of new things.
00:49:18All right, but later.
00:49:20You'll come to me in Skalina.
00:49:22Remember the address.
00:49:24Grabowa Street, 16, flat 5.
00:49:26But don't write it down.
00:49:28You have to remember it.
00:49:30And one more thing.
00:49:32You have to come before the police hour.
00:49:34There's no joke about it.
00:49:36That's all for now.
00:49:39Your train is coming.
00:49:42Mine is in an hour.
00:49:46Dad.
00:49:53You have a great wife, Dad.
00:49:57l've known that for 30 years, son.
00:50:03We'll see.
00:50:08We'll see.
00:50:38We'll see.
00:51:08Stand up.
00:51:14You two, here.
00:51:31Stand up.
00:51:39You live in Skalina.
00:51:41What are you doing here?
00:51:43Answer quickly.
00:51:46lt's a delicate matter.
00:51:48A man's matter.
00:51:50You speak German very well.
00:51:54Rybok Stefan.
00:51:56Pole?
00:51:58Yes.
00:52:00l came here with a woman.
00:52:02Where is she?
00:52:04l don't know.
00:52:06She's gone.
00:52:08Do you know who she is?
00:52:10The name of this woman?
00:52:12l don't know.
00:52:14lt was just a friendly acquaintance.
00:52:16You understand.
00:52:18A wife.
00:52:20From Skalina to here?
00:52:22For some woman?
00:52:25Take him away.
00:52:37ls the informer here?
00:52:39Go to the informer.
00:52:42One moment, please.
00:52:52Are you the informer?
00:52:54Yes.
00:52:56What's the matter?
00:52:58We need to talk.
00:53:01We had an escape from the camp.
00:53:03From Wielosześciu.
00:53:05We've got three already.
00:53:07We caught them at the station in Libiąz.
00:53:10lt's possible that the others will try to get on the train at other stations.
00:53:16l just stopped a guy here.
00:53:18He doesn't look like an escapee.
00:53:20But he might be their assistant.
00:53:22Such things happen.
00:53:25l understand.
00:53:27What's my task?
00:53:30Leave it to two people.
00:53:32lf a stranger shows up at the station, let me know.
00:53:37Yes, sir.
00:54:00You didn't have to be afraid.
00:54:03What's the matter?
00:54:08That's all.
00:54:12l'm not going to the army.
00:54:14How did you do it?
00:54:16What do you care?
00:54:18Maybe l'll have to escape too.
00:54:20All right, l'll tell you.
00:54:22But not today.
00:54:24l'm happy today.
00:54:26l have such a girl.
00:54:29And secondly...
00:54:48We've checked.
00:54:50We called Skawina.
00:54:52The data in the KenCard are real.
00:54:55l didn't expect that.
00:54:57Take him away.
00:55:05They also have good experts in falsifying documents.
00:55:09Where did he learn German?
00:55:11His father was a master in the factory in Frankow.
00:55:14He went after the Germans.
00:55:16With the name Rybok?
00:55:19What should we do with him?
00:55:21There are no specific charges.
00:55:23Give him a good massage.
00:55:25Maybe he'll confess.
00:55:27lf not, throw him out.
00:55:29l have enough of my own business.
00:55:53Heitler.
00:55:55l'm reporting for duty.
00:55:57l'm short of time.
00:55:59l was at Kunert's report.
00:56:01l met him in the corridor.
00:56:03l said ''shortly''.
00:56:07Do you have Boleslaw Pesternik too?
00:56:09Who's that?
00:56:11A Polish officer.
00:56:13The son of the man l met in the corridor.
00:56:16l don't know who he is.
00:56:18l don't know his name.
00:56:20A Polish officer.
00:56:22The son of the man l met in the corridor.
00:56:26Let's go.
00:56:46This is Tomasz Pesternik.
00:56:48That's right.
00:56:50My name is Stefan Rybok.
00:56:52He's lying.
00:56:55Let's go.
00:57:13We found these photographs in his wallet.
00:57:17That's his son, Zygmunt.
00:57:19He works in our mine.
00:57:23He has two more, but they're missing.
00:57:28l'd like to meet the eldest, Boleslaw.
00:57:33Thank you, Kulewik.
00:57:35Let's go on like this.
00:57:37We must be careful.
00:57:46Let's go.
00:58:06Mrs. Pesternik?
00:58:08Yes.
00:58:10Police. Come with us.
00:58:12Where to? l'm not going anywhere.
00:58:15You have a Volksliste.
00:58:17You're subject to German law.
00:58:19Anyone who opposes this law will be forced to use force.
00:58:23There's only a brief explanation.
00:58:46Take her away.
00:58:55So you've met your husband.
00:59:01Please sign this.
00:59:09lt doesn't make sense.
00:59:11Believe me.
00:59:13He claims his name is Rybok.
00:59:16As Rybok, he has no chance.
00:59:18As Pesternik,
00:59:20as a former citizen of Prussia and a soldier of the Emperor,
00:59:23he can be saved.
00:59:35We found this photo with my husband during the inspection.
00:59:40Carrying a photo of your son is a sign of paternal love.
00:59:44You should respect such feelings.
00:59:47Do you recognize him?
00:59:52Please save your husband.
00:59:59What are you going to do with him?
01:00:02We won't give him a warrant,
01:00:04we'll return him to you. l assure you.
01:00:11Can l talk to him?
01:00:13No. These are the rules.
01:00:28l won't sign anything.
01:00:30l'll sign.
01:00:34Thank you. You may go.
01:00:52Release her?
01:00:54Yes.
01:00:56She didn't sign, but she convinced me it was him.
01:00:59That's enough for me.
01:01:30My name is Zygmunt Pesternik.
01:01:34This is my invitation to the army.
01:01:38You've met a great fortune.
01:01:40l'm sure of it.
01:01:42But can you reconcile it with my father's imprisonment?
01:01:47l'm sure you can't.
01:01:49You have to cut those two things off.
01:01:53You already have a son.
01:01:57You're almost a soldier of the Third Reich.
01:02:01You can buy off your father's imprisonment.
01:02:06l'd love to.
01:02:08Only a soldier's son can buy off his father's sentence.
01:02:14Can l say goodbye to my father?
01:02:17Unfortunately, it's forbidden during the investigation.
01:02:22What can l do to help my father?
01:02:26Fight.
01:02:28Please believe me, l'll do everything.
01:02:32Will my father be released?
01:02:34l'm sure he will.
01:02:37Good luck in the army.
01:02:41Heil!
01:02:53Kunert, please.
01:02:55Kunert, l'm listening.
