Karol, change up with Krystyna.

00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:01,150
They destroyed our air force. 500 planes
pulverised before they could take off.

00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,749
I heard it before they bombed the radio station.

6
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,635
I'm taking Wislawa to Wadowice
and then I'll join the army.

7
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,035
Wislawa, you're Jewish.

8
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,435
Jews should leave Poland if they can.

9
00:02:12,640 --> 00:02:17,475
Wadowice is a small, quiet town.
Jews won't be in any danger there.

10
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:22,993
Tomasz, will you look after my father?
I want to join the army, too.

11
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,919
Of course. I'll take him to the rectory with me.

12

You always told me
you could never be a soldier.

I never imagined anything like this.

What are you going to do, Wiktor?

15
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:40,877
All the last-year medical students
have been asked to go to the hospital.

16
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,958
What do you think is going to happen?

17
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,233
If the world gets taken over by evil men,

18
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:52,513
we won't have any voice left or tears to shed.

- We have valuable books there.

I'll put them in the basement
in case they bomb us.

The Nazis won't bother with women.

You Klugers are Jews.
Jews are in great danger.

We are Poles.
We'll kick the Nazis out of our country.

- What's wrong?
- I'm scared.

37

Please go and hide in Wadowice.

- What does it look like?

I'm going to join the army.

No.

No, Dad.
It's my turn to go and fight, not yours.

You will stay nice and safe
with Tomasz in the rectory.

Please do as Karol says, Mr Wojtyla.

I want Mother to be proud of me.

You know what he's like. Please.

Mr Wojtyla, listen to me.
You are too old for this sort of thing.

No, but your body isn't as strong
as your heart and soul still are.

During the revolt Russian soldiers
were killing people and smashing things.

They threw Chopin's piano

that our homeland can never be destroyed.

- Kraków is full of churches.

This is the cathedral.

The cathedral is part of Wawel Castle.
Wawel is my residence now.

It doesn't belong to the Poles any more.

When I was about your age.

154
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:38,871
But I still talk to her.

155
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:43,949
And when I close my eyes,
I can feel her hands stroking my hair.

00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,274
Give the jacket back to the gentleman.

158
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,870
- Can I keep it a bit longer?
- As long as you want.

159
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,913
- Until I'm grown up?
- Yes, until you're a grown-up.

160
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,588
And I will give you this.

161
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:09,552
Oh. What is it about?

162
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:13,594
There's a story in there I like,
about the snake and the clock-maker.

163
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,951
- Will you read it to me?
- Yes. Yes, of course.

164
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:21,073
"One day, a starving snake
went into the clock-maker's shop."

165
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,154
- "Finding nothing to eat..."

<i>Continuous rounding up of people.</i>

<i>The Jews are in terrible danger.</i>

Hania! I know where you're going.

I want to see Tesia. Take me with you.

183

Come on.

184
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,913
- Hania!
- I have a surprise for you.

185
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:10,676
Tadek!

186
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,877
You shouldn't have come.
You know what they do to Poles who...

187
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,878
Shh. I can't live without you.

188
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,036
Tesia, look!

189
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,196
It's hauka!

190
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,152
You are a good person, a good person.

191
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:35,956
Grandma!

192
00:21:37,360 --> 00:21:39,316
Grandma!

193
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:47,153
Smell it.

[sighs]

195
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:57,750
Tesia made me a present.

196
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:00,996
Let me show you.

197
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:11,075
[hums wistful melody]

198
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:31,439
Mrs Rozalia, I would like
to take Tesia out of here.

199
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:33,710
I will hide her at my parents' house.

200
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,480
You have to go with him.

201
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:41,071
I love you, but I can't leave
my mother and my grandmother.

202
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,236
- Tesia, please.
- No.

203
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:47,035
We'll leave this place together
when all of this is over.

204
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:50,516
<i>[Hania] Were it not</i>

206
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,114
- There. We made it, Dad.
- Yeah.

207
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:25,435
Look. We're almost there.

208
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,631
[father] Our best divisions
are on the other side of the river.

209
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:33,071
That's where our liberation will come from.

210
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,314
Stay where you are! Go back! Go back!

211
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,239
The Russians have invaded our border.

212
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,000
Hitler and Stalin made a pact.

213
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:55,912
The Red Army has betrayed us.

214
00:23:56,120 --> 00:23:57,712
They don't take prisoners.

215
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,229
Go back! Go back!

216
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:15,631
Dad, come on.

217
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,829
- Come on, Dad.
- Leave me here.

218
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:20,598
Dad, we have to go now.

219
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,519
Go away to Kraków. Go on, go.

220
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:29,350
I told you to leave me here.

221
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:31,915
- That's enough.
- Stop it, Dad.

222
00:24:32,120 --> 00:24:34,429
Save yourself. Go on!

223
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:36,870
Get out of here!

224
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:39,876
Dad! Stop it!

225
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:42,719
Just let them kill me.

226
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:45,910
- Dad...
- That's all...

227
00:24:46,120 --> 00:24:48,680
- Dad, stop it...
- That's all... That's all...

228
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:50,154
Stop it!

229
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:53,349
Take hold, Dad.

230
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,916
Mama wouldn't like to see you like this.
Come on.

231
00:24:57,120 --> 00:24:58,075
Come on.

232
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:02,957
You're back! What happened?

233
00:26:04,360 --> 00:26:07,636
Mrs Antol,
could you please come and help me?

234
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:26,870
I'm going to get Dr Zweig.

235
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:30,549
Mr Wojtyla?

236
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,555
- Have you seen Wiktor Milosz?
- No.

237
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,513
- What's happening here?
- Wojcik wants us in assembly.

238
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:10,953
Krystyna!

239
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,558
- Thank God the university is open again.
- What happened to you?

240
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:18,355
I'm looking for Wiktor.
My dad is sick and Dr Zweig wasn't in.

241
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,996
The Nazis took him. And some stinking Poles
have moved into his apartment.

242
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:25,272
- Right.
- Wiktor is working at the hospital. I'll take you.

243
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:26,879
- All right.
- Karol.

244
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:31,073
They're organising an underground army.
We all ought to join up.

245
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:33,669
Watch what you say.
There are spies among us.

246
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,713
Spies? I can't believe anyone could do that.

247
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:41,675
Here we are in the very cradle of our history,
our common roots, our language.

248
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:45,509
- Nobody betrays his own mother.
- [Wojcik] Who is betraying his mother?

249
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:50,157
Oh, Professor...
I was talking about our mother tongue.

250
00:27:50,360 --> 00:27:52,794
You pay for freedom with your whole being.

251
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,673
That is why you will call freedom that which,

252
00:27:55,880 --> 00:28:01,671
while paying for it, helps you
to know and control yourself over and over.

253
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:04,997
You wrote that, didn't you, Karol?

254
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:09,239
Yes. I am embarrassed
and honoured that you remember it.

255
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,670
Wojtyla is right.

256
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:15,793
We will pay for freedom with tears and blood.

257
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,755
The Reich Governor, Hans Frank,
has moved into Wawel,

258
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:22,839
former residence of the Piast, the Jagiellon.

259
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,310
This Nazi intellectual has declared

260
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,273
Poland has a king
and the Poles are his slaves

261
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:32,916
with no rights and only one duty, to obey.

262
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,710
You have to resist
in whatever way you deem right.

263
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:42,198
Talk it over among yourselves.
Decide according to your conscience.

264
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,197
But we have to resist!

265
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:48,712
- Long live freedom!
- [all] Long live freedom!

266
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:50,319
Long live Poland!

267
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:52,272
Long live Poland!

268
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:56,109
Long live Poland! Long live Poland!

269
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:58,311
Long live Poland!

270
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:04,110
Three more shots like this, Mr Wojtyla,
and you can play soccer again.

271
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:05,673
I have never played soccer.

272
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:09,236
I don't believe you.
You've missed out on life's greatest pleasure.

273
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:12,398
Get better first and then you can find out.

274
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,072
Well said, Mrs Antol.

275
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:18,716
It's almost impossible to find quinine sulphate,

276
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:22,196
but for Wiktor Milosz nothing is impossible.

277
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,995
Give him a tablet three times a day
until the fever goes down.

278
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:27,679
I'll come back tomorrow.

279
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:32,316
- How much do I owe you?
- That's OK.

280
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:34,590
I'll charge you a fortune once I'm famous.

281
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:38,110
You take care, now, Mr Wojtyla.

282
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,236
Goodbye.

283

No, wait.

00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:51,996
Out this way.

298
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:55,716

I'd like to talk about Rome.

I studied in Rome.

306

I would like to read Nietzsche and Goethe.

To make Wawel
an island of civilisation and civility...

314
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:44,952
especially you intellectuals...

315
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:48,640
..are born conspirators.

316
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:51,798
No.

317
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,878
Poland will remain silent.

318
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:56,229
Like a corpse.

319
00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:01,354
I have decided to close down
all schools and universities,

320
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:03,994
newspapers and artistic associations.

321
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:08,113
And I will destroy Polish libraries.

322
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:10,959
What good are schools,
universities and libraries to you?

323
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:14,596
You have no country. You have no culture.

324
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:18,756
[Frank] Children who look Nordic

325
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:22,509
will be taken from their families
and raised as Germans.

326
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,314
The others will work hard and eat little.

327
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,435
And eventually they'll die.

328
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:31,029
And Poland will die with them.

329
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:33,151
Poland will never die!

330
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:36,033
Poland will live! Long live Poland!

331
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:40,358
If you try to escape,
you'll be doing me a favour.

332
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:42,073
You'll be shot.

333
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:44,669
- Let's get out of here.
- No.

334
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,110
How many of you are there?

335
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:54,040
187. Good.

336
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:58,308
You won't be handcuffed,

337
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:01,830
but you will go quietly to the trucks

338
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:03,996
and get in one by one.

339
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:06,919
[Wojcik] I see that your fists
are clenched, Mr Frank.

340
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:11,079
You think that you hold life
clenched in those fists.

341
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:14,030
Take a look again. They're empty.

342
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:17,198
You stand up there and you talk to us.

343
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:21,153
You have not yet realised
that all life has left you.

344
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:23,396
When you do, it will be too late.

345
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,592
Then you will remember
the words of Wojcik,

346
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:29,997
professor of Polish philology.

347
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:36,556
- Shoot him.
- [man speaking German]

348
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:44,190
<i>[Karol] Wojcik taught us that weakness</i>
<i>is only refusal of accepting defeat.</i>

349
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:48,996
<i>The professors who were not killed</i>
<i>are now dying in the Sachsenhausen camp.</i>

350
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:51,760
<i>We are surrounded</i>
<i>by madness and suffering.</i>

351
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:56,030
<i>Hania, you've no idea</i>
<i>what hell prevails in the Kraków ghetto.</i>

352
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:58,913
Either they starve to death,

353
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:00,758
die of tuberculosis, dysentery...

354
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:06,159
They die of every disease you can think of
unless they commit suicide or get murdered.

355
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:26,276
This way.

356
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:32,436
Do you know what a rat hunt is?
It's a Nazi expression.

357
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:34,517
There are holes in the ghetto walls

358
00:34:34,720 --> 00:34:37,553
which only skinny little kids
can squeeze through...little rats.

359
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,593
They pick through the garbage
looking for something to eat

360
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,951
and the Nazis take pot-shots at them...for fun.

361
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:58,076
[whistles]

362
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:05,839
You will see. A little rat is about to come out.

363
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:11,835
OK. Now.

364
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:17,600
- How are you doing, Simon?
- Hungry.

365
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:23,518
- Ah!
- Ah!

366
00:35:23,720 --> 00:35:27,793
All I've got is medicine.
I'll try to bring some potatoes tomorrow.

367
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:36,080
[woman screaming]

368

[soldier shouts orders in German]

369
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:51,360
[soldier shouts in German]

370
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:11,152
That's Eli Singer the carpenter
and his brother Chaim.

371
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:16,273
They won't need their clothes any more.

372
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:21,752
[man shouts orders in German]

373
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:42,830
What's the matter? Where are you going?

374
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:46,350
- It's all right. Don't worry.
- [soldier speaks German]

375
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:48,312
Where is he taking you?

376
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:50,996
Pray to the Black Madonna for me.

377
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:11,316
This way.

378
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:20,199
[clock chiming]

379
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:42,913
- And you are...?
- I'm Father Tomasz Zaleski.

380
00:37:45,240 --> 00:37:47,390
Hm.

381
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:52,549
I see that even handsome boys
become priests in Poland.

382
00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:02,150
Ah. The priest from the cathedral.
Excuse me for being late.

383
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:04,749
I hear you have confessed
some of my officers.

384
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:08,316
I would like you to hear my confession, too, <i>ja</i>?

385
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:12,513
But I promised my guests
the deer we shot in Radziwillow woods.

386
00:38:12,720 --> 00:38:14,756
One bullet, right between the eyes.

387
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:18,509
Please spare us the details.
You will spoil my appetite.

388
00:38:20,240 --> 00:38:23,789
So...you can hear my confession after lunch.

389
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:25,911
- What is your name?
- Tomasz Zaleski.

390
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:28,318
Zaleski.

391
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:30,795
Zaleski will be joining us for lunch.

392
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:34,151
You can witness the sins of our gluttony
with your own eyes.

393
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:36,032
No, thank you. I...

394
00:38:36,240 --> 00:38:38,435
I'll wait outside.

395
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:41,871
I would never have a priest
wait outside while I'm eating.

396
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:43,798
Please.

397
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:49,235
Will you do us the honours, my dear?

398
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:56,229
So, tell me, Zaleski.

399
00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:59,873
How much Polish hatred do you listen to
in your confessions?

400
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:04,198
- I listen to Polish suffering.
- You want to know the truth, priest?

401
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:08,916
Where there's no culture,
there can't be any suffering.

402
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:10,951
Only instincts.

403
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:13,594
The Polish people will eventually love us.

404
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:16,473
- Right now they're asleep.
- I love you and you're asleep.

405
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:18,272
[laughter]

406
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:21,074
They say that Polish women
don't wash very often.

407
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:23,669
It's not their fault. They don't have any soap.

408
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:26,758
They can't use that excuse much longer.

409
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:31,238
We've found a way to make soap
out of something that doesn't cost a pfennig.

410
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:39,719
Excellent soap with nice silky foam.

411
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:43,310
I've already put in a large order
for these Polish ladies.

412
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:46,796
Soap made out of excrement.

413
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:53,956
You are not laughing?

414
00:39:57,280 --> 00:39:59,350
- I can't stay here.
- Sit down!

415
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:06,390
Come, now. Sit down.

416
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:09,478
You are going to make him mad.

417
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:13,674
Come, now.

418
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:23,118
I have ordered the families of the dead
in the ghetto to pay for their funerals.

419
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:27,916
Hm. I'm sure the mortality rate will drop
from one day to the next.

420
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:29,792
Exactly. It has dropped.

421
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:32,116
All Jews are sick.

422
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:34,709
Sick people have a tendency
to wallow in filth.

423
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:39,755
Hm. Filth is their natural flavouring.
They are a decadent race.

424
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:41,075
A bunch of degenerates,

425
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:45,558
incapable of raising and taking care
of their children like we do in Germany.

426
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:47,512
Pigs.

427
00:40:50,720 --> 00:40:53,359
Jewish children are not children.

428
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:57,836
What did you say?

429
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:02,995
German children are clean.

430
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:09,554
Jewish children are dirty.

431
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:13,434
German children have teeth.

432
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:17,716
Jewish children don't have any teeth.

433
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:21,629
German children sleep on mattresses.

434
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:28,190
Jewish children next to tables
laid out with the dead.

435
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:31,396
German children play.

436
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:36,509
Jewish children in the ghettos
don't know how to play.

437
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:40,955
They really are degenerate children.

438
00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:43,393
Their only entertainment

439
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:48,151
is to go watch their parents,
brothers and sisters being shot.

440
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:50,999
Their only fun is watching
their mothers being murdered.

441
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:55,395
German children smile.

442
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:58,068
Jewish children don't smile.

443
00:41:59,240 --> 00:42:02,312
German children walk.
Jewish children don't walk.

444
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:05,592
You'll never teach them
how to smile and how to walk,

445
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:08,792
even if you try to make them obey
by whipping them!

446
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:11,230
Never.

447
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:14,955
Don't you know
that Jewish children don't have legs?

448
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:17,799
Jewish children have wings!

449
00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:21,716
You might as well have me shot.

450
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:27,956
Polish priests! How do they do it, huh?

451
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:30,872
They have wings?

452
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:35,514
Huh? Cheep! Cheep! Cheep!

453

Cheep-cheep! Cheep!

- A play.

- Sorrow.

Nothing, Grandma.

Where do they take them?
Do they look after them?

I don't know.

People who keep quiet

- No.

Our theatre has to go underground,

We must keep the word alive.

Poland's in the grip of terror and insanity
and you want to put on plays?

572
00:55:48,680 --> 00:55:50,636
You ought to be ashamed of yourself.

573

- The only thing left is to take up arms.
- Yes!

574
00:55:54,320 --> 00:55:56,038
The word's mightier than the bullet.

Wait. Wait.

579
00:56:08,040 --> 00:56:10,918
I understand and respect people
who resort to weapons.

580
00:56:11,120 --> 00:56:16,274
The Nazis exterminate people
and want to exterminate our culture too.

581
00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:18,550
They want to wipe out the Polish language.

582
00:56:18,760 --> 00:56:24,039
But the only way we will be able
to have a future is if we save our past.

583
00:56:24,240 --> 00:56:28,995
But whoever chooses weapons
has every right to do so.

584
00:56:29,200 --> 00:56:30,599
Kotlarczyk is right, too.

585
00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:33,394
We have to keep our culture alive.

586
00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:36,034
Let's take the theatre underground.

587
00:56:37,920 --> 00:56:40,115
Because remember...

588
00:56:41,080 --> 00:56:43,036
..theatre is the conscience of life.

589
00:56:43,920 --> 00:56:47,629
You will have your theatre
and we will have our guns.

590
00:56:47,840 --> 00:56:50,274
All right.

591
00:56:50,480 --> 00:56:52,948
We are fighting the same battle...

592
00:56:53,160 --> 00:56:55,390
with the same hope against the same evil.

593
00:56:56,520 --> 00:56:58,272
- OK.
- Come on.

594
00:56:58,480 --> 00:57:01,597

Excuse me, I know it's late.

I am Karol Wojtyla.
I have to speak to Miss Tuszynska.

599
00:58:08,080 --> 00:58:12,471
I don't allow my lodgers
to receive men in their rooms.

600
00:58:12,680 --> 00:58:16,150
This is urgent and serious and I won't be long.

Tuszynska!

602

Tuszynska!

603
00:58:23,240 --> 00:58:29,793
This gentleman apparently has something
urgent and serious to say to you.

604
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:32,275
- Do you know him?
- Yes, Mrs Bialek.

605
00:58:32,480 --> 00:58:37,713
- All right, but leave the door open.
- Thank you.

606
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:45,639
I know you're brave

607
00:58:45,840 --> 00:58:52,473
and... I know that you have been hurt
so much that you want revenge...

608
00:58:52,680 --> 00:58:54,432
No.

609
00:58:54,640 --> 00:58:57,757
The word you want is justice, not revenge.

610
00:58:57,960 --> 00:59:00,838
Yes, you're right. Justice.

611
00:59:01,040 --> 00:59:03,679
But I know you so well.

612
00:59:03,880 --> 00:59:06,633
No matter how strong and brave you are,

613
00:59:06,840 --> 00:59:08,831
how hard you think you are now,

614
00:59:09,040 --> 00:59:10,553
you're the same little girl

615
00:59:10,760 --> 00:59:15,436
who used to get all mixed up and depressed
by people's lies and violence.

616
00:59:17,120 --> 00:59:19,156
I'm not that little girl any more.

617
00:59:19,360 --> 00:59:21,954
Your heart hasn't changed.

618
00:59:22,160 --> 00:59:24,435
And killing won't come easily to you.

619
00:59:24,640 --> 00:59:28,076
You and I aren't cowards, you know that.
Just the opposite.

620
00:59:28,280 --> 00:59:31,477
The truth is,
we'd rather get killed instead of killing.

621
00:59:34,720 --> 00:59:36,676
I don't want you to get killed.

622
00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:39,348
Have you said what you came to say?

623
00:59:39,560 --> 00:59:40,913
No.

Please.

627
00:59:54,920 --> 00:59:57,718
Slow, slow.

628
00:59:57,920 --> 01:00:00,309
That's good. Stop now.

the meaning of the choice I want to make.

744

And I wonder, is it because I want to hide?

745
01:10:34,200 --> 01:10:37,192
Or because I feel guilty for all the pain I see?

746

Or is there something deeper?

that he gave up art

787

as someone who'd come
to serve those who suffer.

791
01:15:53,480 --> 01:15:55,710
You've left me all alone.

792

You've left me all alone.

793

[Hania] Karol.

794
01:16:23,280 --> 01:16:26,511
Have you been waiting for me
in the rain all this time?

795
01:16:26,720 --> 01:16:28,836
We're not made of sugar.

796
01:16:33,200 --> 01:16:35,839
- What?
- We're not made of sugar.

797
01:16:36,040 --> 01:16:40,158
Karol would say that to me
when I didn't want to play soccer in the rain.

798
01:16:41,240 --> 01:16:44,073
I know. I was always there watching you.

799
01:16:45,320 --> 01:16:51,156
Do you remember when we were rehearsing
<i>Romeo and Juliet</i> for the school play?

800
01:16:51,360 --> 01:16:53,271
Of course I do.

801
01:16:53,480 --> 01:16:55,835
You were Juliet, and you Romeo.

802
01:16:57,240 --> 01:17:01,472
- What else? The lead role.
- And I wanted him to be Mercutio.

803
01:17:01,680 --> 01:17:07,152
- Do you remember what you told me?
- "I'd rather be a priest."

804
01:17:07,360 --> 01:17:10,989
And I said, "But the priest is just a small role."

805
01:17:11,200 --> 01:17:16,593
And I answered, "I'm not talking
about the play. I'm talking about my life."

806
01:17:50,800 --> 01:17:53,633
Having seen the full horror of these times,

807
01:17:53,840 --> 01:17:57,958
everything has been pointing me
towards something good.

808
01:17:58,160 --> 01:18:00,230
The priesthood.

809
01:18:00,440 --> 01:18:03,000
For the sake of every single person's dignity

810
01:18:03,200 --> 01:18:07,796
and for the experience of knowing myself
through the knowledge of God,

811
01:18:08,000 --> 01:18:10,468
of living God from the inside.

812
01:18:12,880 --> 01:18:14,552
I want to become a priest.

813
01:18:16,000 --> 01:18:18,195
Out of the depths of this evil,

814
01:18:18,400 --> 01:18:20,595
we must bear witness to the fact

815
01:18:20,800 --> 01:18:24,918
that the divine meaning of life
is more important than life itself.

816
01:18:25,120 --> 01:18:27,588
That's why I'm here.

817
01:18:27,800 --> 01:18:31,952
The Nazis have closed down the seminary.
You're risking your life.

818
01:18:33,000 --> 01:18:37,278
So not even your own mother
is to know you'll be studying here.

819
01:18:37,480 --> 01:18:41,837
You'll continue your life as usual
but you'll study and meditate with us secretly

820

every free moment you have during the day.

826
01:19:39,120 --> 01:19:43,875
- We'll get him to a hospital.
- It's better you don't touch him. He's Polish.

827
01:19:45,240 --> 01:19:46,719
Don't worry.

828

He's married with three children.

Right now he's in a lot of danger.

838

He's been given a command
that he has decided to refuse.

01:32:43,520 --> 01:32:45,954
Father Karol, the secret service!

948
01:32:46,160 --> 01:32:49,118
- Over here?
- I saw them in the church.

949
01:32:58,120 --> 01:32:59,314
[speaks Polish]

950
01:32:59,520 --> 01:33:02,318
What's going on? Monsignor Kurowski...

951
01:33:02,520 --> 01:33:06,832
You can't arrest him.
That's totally illegal inside a church.

952
01:33:07,040 --> 01:33:12,034
- You want to join us?
- That's all right, Karol. Let them do their duty.

953
01:33:13,400 --> 01:33:17,234
- What's he being accused of?
- What's your name?

954
01:33:19,480 --> 01:33:20,469
Wojtyla.

955
01:33:21,680 --> 01:33:23,989
Your monsignor preaches subversion.

956
01:33:24,200 --> 01:33:28,557
He betrayed his country,
which is also my country and your country.

957
01:33:28,760 --> 01:33:32,036
Monsignor Kurowski has only spoken
about sacred things in this church.

958
01:33:32,240 --> 01:33:34,595
This is the last thing your priest will see

959
01:33:34,800 --> 01:33:37,758
before he realises that the life
he dedicated to sacred things

960
01:33:37,960 --> 01:33:40,520
has been nothing but an illusion.

961
01:33:40,720 --> 01:33:44,076
It's awful being placed
in front of nothingness, isn't it?

962
01:33:44,280 --> 01:33:47,989
What you call nothingness, I call everything.

963
01:33:49,000 --> 01:33:51,275
Where you see darkness, I see light.

964
01:33:51,480 --> 01:33:55,268
When you say destruction, I say salvation.

965
01:33:56,280 --> 01:33:58,510
Goodbye, Wojtyla.

966
01:34:00,440 --> 01:34:03,512
- What did you say your first name was?
- Karol.

967
01:34:03,720 --> 01:34:05,551
Karol.

968
01:34:05,760 --> 01:34:10,151
And don't you forget my name.
Julian Kordek.

969
01:34:15,320 --> 01:34:20,235
[Karol] You are in the second month?
[Hania] No, the third. Pawel is so happy.

970
01:34:20,440 --> 01:34:25,309
[Hania] But we are already afraid we will spoil
this little thing with too much love.

971
01:34:26,600 --> 01:34:31,310
Too much love will make your child
a joyful and gifted person.

972
01:34:31,520 --> 01:34:36,230
- What's this about Lublin?
- They shut down all the faculties of theology.

973
01:34:36,440 --> 01:34:39,989
They set one up in Warsaw
but it's controlled by the government.

974
01:34:40,200 --> 01:34:42,031
Only Lublin is independent.

975
01:34:42,240 --> 01:34:47,234
Archbishop Baziak said to me,
"I've decided to send you to teach ethics."

976
01:34:47,440 --> 01:34:50,989
- What did you answer?
- I'd rather be a priest among people here.

977
01:34:51,200 --> 01:34:54,112
- What did he say?
- "You're going to Lublin."

978
01:34:54,320 --> 01:34:58,950
- So you have to leave Kraków?
- Actually, I get to do both.

979
01:35:00,000 --> 01:35:01,592
How will you manage?

980
01:35:01,800 --> 01:35:06,749
It's only 200 miles from Kraków to Lublin.
That's eight hours. I can travel at night.

981
01:35:06,960 --> 01:35:10,350
You're putting a lot of faith
in our railroad system.

982
01:35:21,640 --> 01:35:23,073
Where are you going?

983
01:35:23,280 --> 01:35:26,317
My husband is a reporter here.
Can you let us in?

984
01:35:29,520 --> 01:35:30,475
Go.

985
01:35:31,480 --> 01:35:32,879
Go!

986
01:35:43,280 --> 01:35:46,113
What are they doing?

987
01:35:50,040 --> 01:35:53,828
- You have no right to do this.
- Then file a complaint. We have orders.

988
01:35:54,040 --> 01:35:56,838
We ask for respect.
Our lives are in these papers.

989
01:36:00,880 --> 01:36:02,108
What right do they have?

990
01:36:02,320 --> 01:36:07,235
Their excuse is that we refused to publish
Stalin's death eulogy.

991
01:36:07,440 --> 01:36:09,078
Don't touch this.

992
01:36:11,400 --> 01:36:13,072
Pawel!

993
01:36:17,240 --> 01:36:18,559
On your knees!

994
01:36:18,760 --> 01:36:20,955
On your knees!

995
01:36:22,160 --> 01:36:24,276
Are you going to kill him?

996
01:36:24,480 --> 01:36:26,710
Over a typewriter?

997
01:36:29,440 --> 01:36:32,398
He made a mistake. Don't make a bigger one.

998
01:36:39,400 --> 01:36:42,437
Take everything away.
Grab the paperwork, too.

999
01:36:45,120 --> 01:36:49,796
Are you crazy? You're going to get yourself
killed for a stupid typewriter.

1000
01:36:50,000 --> 01:36:52,833
It's our living and my only freedom.

1001
01:36:53,880 --> 01:36:55,438
Thank you.

1002
01:36:55,640 --> 01:36:59,189
You know how important the father is
for a baby, don't you?

1003
01:37:00,560 --> 01:37:05,236
You'd better never let me catch you together
again. I'll toss the bunch of you in jail.

1004
01:37:06,160 --> 01:37:08,799
What's next? You'll cut out our vocal cords?

1005
01:37:09,000 --> 01:37:11,468
If that's what it takes, why not?

1006
01:37:11,680 --> 01:37:15,275
What method did Christians use
to convert the American lndians?

1007
01:37:15,480 --> 01:37:19,473
Non-Christian methods,
which the Church has to ask forgiveness for.

1008
01:37:19,680 --> 01:37:23,832
So we meet again. It's Karol Wojtyla, right?

1009
01:37:26,200 --> 01:37:31,194
"Modern man can expect only one
important thing from a priest. Christ."

1010
01:37:31,400 --> 01:37:33,072
"He can ask for the rest,

1011
01:37:33,280 --> 01:37:37,398
things that are useful from an economic,
social and political standpoint,

1012
01:37:37,600 --> 01:37:38,874
from many others."

1013
01:37:39,080 --> 01:37:43,232
"The priest is a unique observer
of the invisible in the world."

1014
01:37:43,440 --> 01:37:44,873
You're a good writer, Wojtyla.

1015
01:37:45,080 --> 01:37:48,629
I was. But from the looks of things here...

1016
01:37:48,840 --> 01:37:52,116
- Doesn't Christ ever smile at men?
- Christ is love.

1017
01:37:53,040 --> 01:37:56,999
We could eventually ask ourselves
why this love is nailed to the cross.

1018
01:37:58,400 --> 01:38:00,709
This office has been requisitioned.

1019
01:38:01,800 --> 01:38:03,756
As for your magazine...

1020
01:38:07,160 --> 01:38:10,948
WARSAW - THE ARCHBISHOP'S SEE

1021
01:38:16,880 --> 01:38:21,670
"To all the Polish clergy.
Priests are being sentenced to death."

1022
01:38:22,800 --> 01:38:26,315
<i>"They arrested the Bishop of Kielce,</i>
<i>calling him a criminal."</i>

1023
01:38:26,520 --> 01:38:30,229
<i>"We cannot allow our country's government</i>
<i>to trample the altar."</i>

1024
01:38:30,440 --> 01:38:34,911
Security police. Open up.
We're here to see Cardinal Wyszynski.

1025
01:38:35,120 --> 01:38:39,830
<i>"I'm not asking you to get yourselves</i>
<i>thrown into prison and killed."</i>

1026
01:38:40,040 --> 01:38:42,793
"But there can be no compromise."

1027
01:38:43,640 --> 01:38:45,631
"You must resist."

1028
01:38:55,000 --> 01:38:57,958
- Well?
- They won't open up.

1029
01:38:58,160 --> 01:39:02,039
- Should we break it down?
- He'll open.

1030
01:39:06,720 --> 01:39:08,358
[gentle knock]

1031
01:39:09,200 --> 01:39:12,158
- What's going on?
- Men from the Ministry of Security.

1032
01:39:12,360 --> 01:39:16,512
- Let them in.
- But, Your Eminence, they're going to...

1033
01:39:16,720 --> 01:39:18,358
Let them in.

1034
01:39:20,760 --> 01:39:26,232
You're under arrest. The government
has decided you cannot carry out your duties.

1035
01:39:26,440 --> 01:39:28,635
You're going to leave Warsaw.

1036
01:39:28,840 --> 01:39:30,876
Sign this.

1037
01:39:33,000 --> 01:39:37,790
I don't see any legal grounds
for such a decision. So I cannot sign this.

1038
01:39:39,080 --> 01:39:41,719
All the government has left is violence.

1039
01:39:41,920 --> 01:39:44,354
The blind children of Radwanice...

1040
01:39:44,560 --> 01:39:47,996
You led them during the Resistance.

1041
01:39:48,200 --> 01:39:52,671
They were the only ones who could make
their way through the forest at night.

1042
01:39:52,880 --> 01:39:55,758
I was one of the patriots they saved.

1043
01:39:55,960 --> 01:39:59,999
I have great respect
for everything you did against the Nazis.

1044
01:40:00,200 --> 01:40:03,397
But now you are fighting
against the power of the people,

1045
01:40:03,600 --> 01:40:07,673
hiding criminal priests
convicted by the courts for their crimes.

1046
01:40:07,880 --> 01:40:12,317
Your position is pro-Vatican,
pro-imperialist and anti-Polish.

1047
01:40:12,520 --> 01:40:15,159
I am the same person I have always been.

1048
01:40:15,360 --> 01:40:17,954
Defending our nation's Christian soul,

1049
01:40:18,160 --> 01:40:21,789
its spirit of freedom, peace and justice.

1050
01:40:22,000 --> 01:40:24,275
Collect your things and follow us.

1051
01:40:37,120 --> 01:40:38,553
I'm ready.

1052
01:40:38,760 --> 01:40:41,274
Aren't you going to take anything with you?

1053
01:40:42,280 --> 01:40:46,398
I came poor to this house
and poor I shall leave it.

1054
01:40:54,520 --> 01:40:57,796
[dog barking]

1055
01:41:03,640 --> 01:41:06,598
I'm so sorry. Don't worry, the dog is healthy.

1056
01:41:06,800 --> 01:41:11,635
- Sister Maksencja, get some iodine, please.
- No.

1057
01:41:11,840 --> 01:41:12,909
Let's go.

1058
01:41:13,120 --> 01:41:17,352
- Karol, thank God you haven't left yet.
- What's the matter?

1059
01:41:19,200 --> 01:41:22,749
Pawel and I are leaving.
We are getting out of here.

1060
01:41:22,960 --> 01:41:25,952
Where are you going?
How will you cross the border?

1061
01:41:26,160 --> 01:41:30,119
In the false bottom of a truck.
We're going to France and then New York.

1062
01:41:30,320 --> 01:41:32,311
Pawel has a cousin in Brooklyn.

1063
01:41:32,520 --> 01:41:34,431
- When?
- Tonight.

1064
01:41:37,880 --> 01:41:41,589
Do you realise what you're letting
yourself in for? And in your condition?

1065
01:41:41,800 --> 01:41:45,429
Karol, we are starving here.
We are living on charity.

1066
01:41:45,640 --> 01:41:49,952
We don't sleep at night, listening to every
sound, afraid that they'll arrest Pawel.

1067
01:41:50,160 --> 01:41:54,233
Or worse yet,
that they just make him disappear.

1068
01:41:54,440 --> 01:41:56,590
Everyone seems like an informer.

1069
01:41:56,800 --> 01:41:59,837
There are so many of them.
They've completely isolated us.

1070
01:42:00,040 --> 01:42:02,918
I don't want my child born in this horror.

1071
01:42:04,040 --> 01:42:06,190
I won't have it.

1072
01:42:08,520 --> 01:42:11,080
I will miss you.

1073
01:42:11,280 --> 01:42:13,396
I will miss you both.

1074
01:42:15,200 --> 01:42:16,952
I will miss watching you act.

1075
01:42:18,920 --> 01:42:21,229
You remember our underground theatre?

1076
01:42:22,720 --> 01:42:25,996
And Wadowice. The school.

1077
01:42:26,200 --> 01:42:27,679
Friends.

1078
01:42:27,880 --> 01:42:29,677
How could I forget?

1079
01:42:40,320 --> 01:42:45,838
Your child deserves this smile...
for the rest of his life.

1080
01:42:47,160 --> 01:42:51,119
Two living smiles among the dead.
We are the only ones left.

1081
01:42:51,320 --> 01:42:55,632
- Jusek fell on a mine in Monte Cassino.
- I know.

1082
01:42:57,400 --> 01:42:59,391
Jerzy is dead, too.

1083
01:42:59,600 --> 01:43:04,469
I couldn't find out where he died
and how and if he was buried.

1084
01:43:04,680 --> 01:43:06,671
I don't want to leave Poland.

1085
01:43:09,360 --> 01:43:11,112
I'm Polish and my child...

1086
01:43:11,320 --> 01:43:15,074
You will always be Polish, wherever you go.

1087
01:43:16,120 --> 01:43:18,156
Sit down.

1088
01:43:18,360 --> 01:43:22,638
You will always be Polish,
and so will your child.

1089
01:43:22,840 --> 01:43:26,833
Only the sky above you will change,
nothing else.

1090
01:43:29,600 --> 01:43:33,309
I was supposed to put this into a drawer,

1091
01:43:33,520 --> 01:43:35,556
but I forgot.

1092
01:43:35,760 --> 01:43:38,354
Please take it.

1093
01:43:39,400 --> 01:43:40,469
I don't want it.

1094
01:43:40,680 --> 01:43:43,478
Who knows why they pay me every month?

1095
01:43:44,480 --> 01:43:46,675
The curia's even punctual about it.

1096
01:43:46,880 --> 01:43:51,635
I'll be getting a professor's pay
out of university, so don't worry about me.

1097
01:43:54,200 --> 01:43:57,078
Change it to dollars. It won't be a lot, but still...

1098
01:43:57,280 --> 01:43:59,669
- I don't want it.
- I know, you said that.

1099
01:43:59,880 --> 01:44:02,952
Listen, you can pay me back later.

1100
01:44:03,160 --> 01:44:05,355
You're like a sister to me.

1101
01:44:08,200 --> 01:44:11,351
[hum of conversation]

1102
01:44:32,920 --> 01:44:35,957
- Comrades.
- Comrade Kordek.

1103
01:44:36,160 --> 01:44:41,075
He runs the Fifth Department, Church and
Religion. The most thankless job in Poland.

1104
01:44:41,280 --> 01:44:44,829
Comrade Stalin used to say that
introducing Communism into Poland

1105
01:44:45,040 --> 01:44:48,316
is like training a cow to wear a saddle.

1106
01:44:49,480 --> 01:44:53,951
He also said, "lf only we could have
that Wyszynski on our side."

1107
01:44:54,160 --> 01:44:59,632
Wyszynski is a great man but he'll never be
on our side. He's fine where he is.

1108
01:44:59,840 --> 01:45:02,149
You should shut down the University of Lublin.

1109
01:45:02,360 --> 01:45:05,591
We don't want other Wyszynskis
springing up.

1110
01:45:05,800 --> 01:45:09,634
It's not a good idea.
We have to give the impression abroad

1111
01:45:09,840 --> 01:45:13,628
that religious and philosophical
pluralism exists in Poland.

1112
01:45:13,840 --> 01:45:17,992
There are new teachers now.
Young, well qualified. Dangerous.

1113
01:45:18,200 --> 01:45:22,079
- Such as?
- Such as a certain Wojtyla. A young priest.

1114
01:45:22,280 --> 01:45:26,432
This man should not be allowed to teach
young people to have no fear.

1115
01:45:26,640 --> 01:45:28,915
We need fear to accomplish our goal.

1116
01:45:29,120 --> 01:45:31,953
It will be right in the eyes of history.

1117
01:45:32,160 --> 01:45:34,913
And even in God's eyes, if He exists.

1118
01:45:37,120 --> 01:45:40,999
The University of Lublin will remain open.

1119
01:45:49,960 --> 01:45:51,109
Adam.

1120
01:46:07,600 --> 01:46:08,999
Comrade?

1121
01:46:15,440 --> 01:46:21,117
Karol Wojtyla. He holds the chair of Ethics
at the University of Lublin.

1122
01:46:21,320 --> 01:46:24,756
And he's a priest here in Kraków
taking care of young people.

1123
01:46:24,960 --> 01:46:27,155
I want to know everything about him.

1124
01:46:27,360 --> 01:46:31,353
Who he meets, what he says,
what he thinks. Everything.

1125
01:46:31,560 --> 01:46:34,791
Even when he goes to the toilet.

1126
01:46:35,760 --> 01:46:41,312
Adam, did you apply to our department
out of ideology or to further your career?

1127
01:46:41,520 --> 01:46:42,635
Why do you ask?

1128
01:46:42,840 --> 01:46:47,994
I find it strange that someone studying
art history should hate religion so much.

1129
01:46:48,200 --> 01:46:51,795
The art I love celebrates man, not God.

1130
01:46:52,000 --> 01:46:54,753
God is superstition and obscurantism.

1131
01:46:55,960 --> 01:46:59,555
So you're pure at heart.

1132
01:47:00,800 --> 01:47:02,518
What about you?

1133
01:47:03,880 --> 01:47:05,552
I try to be.

1134
01:47:05,840 --> 01:47:07,796
[train whistle]

1135
01:47:46,880 --> 01:47:48,598
Ticket, please.

1136
01:47:53,640 --> 01:47:56,234
Please. Thank you.

1137
01:48:09,840 --> 01:48:12,354
I see some new faces. What's your name?

1138
01:48:12,560 --> 01:48:15,199
Janina Kuron. I'm from Lublin.

1139
01:48:19,360 --> 01:48:20,839
What's your name?

1140
01:48:21,040 --> 01:48:24,953
- Marcin Mickiewicz, from Kielce.
- That's quite a name to live up to.

1141
01:48:26,840 --> 01:48:28,159
And you?

1142
01:48:28,360 --> 01:48:30,794
Maria Pomorska, from Poznan.

1143
01:48:32,680 --> 01:48:36,514
- And you?
- Sorry. Actually, I signed up for art history.

1144
01:48:36,720 --> 01:48:38,711
No, you're welcome, too. What's your name?

1145
01:48:38,920 --> 01:48:43,038
- Adam. Adam Zielinski.
- Join us if you like, Adam.

1146
01:48:43,240 --> 01:48:47,472
Art can be the master of morals
and not the opposite.

1147
01:48:47,680 --> 01:48:50,911
Good. Why don't we start with a question?

1148
01:48:52,560 --> 01:48:54,391
Who wants to go first?

1149
01:48:55,240 --> 01:48:56,593
Yes?

1150
01:48:56,800 --> 01:48:58,313
- Why do...
- No, sit down.

1151
01:48:58,520 --> 01:49:03,150
Why do some men act like wild beasts
while others become heroes?

1152
01:49:03,360 --> 01:49:05,351
What makes some men betray their friends

1153
01:49:05,560 --> 01:49:09,314
and others sacrifice their lives
for people they don't even know?

1154
01:49:10,520 --> 01:49:13,478
And who can answer that?

1155
01:49:13,680 --> 01:49:17,514
People are bad because
they are scared and unhappy.

1156
01:49:17,720 --> 01:49:20,757
So they can be driven to violence
and self-destruction.

1157
01:49:20,960 --> 01:49:22,837
There's an interesting subject.

1158
01:49:23,040 --> 01:49:27,830
Happiness and unhappiness
deep down inside of each one of us.

1159
01:49:29,200 --> 01:49:34,320
Descartes. "Man is in the middle
between God and nothingness."

1160
01:49:35,880 --> 01:49:37,438
"And he must choose."

1161
01:49:37,640 --> 01:49:42,077
We have to teach a philosophical concept
based essentially on a human experience

1162
01:49:42,280 --> 01:49:46,273
rather than a cosmological one,
more like what two and two are worth.

1163
01:49:46,480 --> 01:49:48,869
And the worker says, it isn't worth a lot.

1164
01:49:49,080 --> 01:49:52,709
That's the political drive.
It sounds like a philosophical pastime.

1165
01:49:52,920 --> 01:49:55,559
- It's food for thought.
- Let's have the food!

1166
01:49:57,320 --> 01:49:58,639
I'm sorry.

1167
01:49:58,840 --> 01:50:03,311
It's my fault. I'm always walking around
with my head in the clouds.

1168
01:50:03,520 --> 01:50:05,317
Oh, it's you.

1169
01:50:05,520 --> 01:50:07,397
Art history?

1170
01:50:07,600 --> 01:50:11,832
Art history would like to buy something
to drink. What do you say?

1171
01:50:12,040 --> 01:50:13,837
Why not?

1172
01:50:15,360 --> 01:50:19,797
I'm doing my doctorate's thesis
on Piotr Michalowski.

1173
01:50:20,000 --> 01:50:24,312
- I have no idea who he is.
- He's a very famous painter.

1174
01:50:24,520 --> 01:50:26,556
And I'm famously ignorant.

1175
01:50:26,760 --> 01:50:30,389
He painted several pictures
of Don Quixote in a frenzy.

1176
01:50:30,600 --> 01:50:33,558
Mad, strong, desperate.

1177
01:50:33,760 --> 01:50:35,512
- Maria?
- Yes?

1178
01:50:35,720 --> 01:50:39,190
- Am I boring you?
- No, not at all.

1179
01:50:41,320 --> 01:50:43,595
There are many things we must discuss.

1180
01:50:43,800 --> 01:50:46,917
The young need positive answers,
now, immediately.

1181
01:50:49,080 --> 01:50:50,638
Communists promise...

1182
01:50:50,840 --> 01:50:54,992
<i>[Adam's voice] Communists promise</i>
<i>young people a new, fair and better society.</i>

1183
01:50:55,200 --> 01:51:00,877
<i>Young people are pure. They want to believe</i>
<i>that an ideal world is possible.</i>

1184
01:51:01,080 --> 01:51:05,437
<i>- We don't promise them heaven and earth.</i>
- Am I boring you?

1185
01:51:06,680 --> 01:51:08,671
- What are you looking at?
- Sorry.

1186
01:51:08,880 --> 01:51:11,440
- Where do you live?
- In Kraków with my aunt.

1187
01:51:11,640 --> 01:51:15,519
Fantastic. I live in Kraków too.
Is that destiny or what?

1188
01:51:15,720 --> 01:51:20,510
Who knows? Destiny's very mysterious.
But it always finds its way.

1189
01:51:24,240 --> 01:51:29,553
<i>We have to meet Marxism on its own terms.</i>
<i>The freeing of mankind.</i>

1190
01:51:33,520 --> 01:51:36,956
Seven of us will go into working-class
neighbourhoods without churches.

1191
01:51:37,160 --> 01:51:39,355
We'll visit any family that needs us.

1192
01:51:39,560 --> 01:51:41,232
Good.

1193
01:51:41,440 --> 01:51:44,034
You've made an admirable decision.

1194
01:51:44,240 --> 01:51:47,915
But it might be dangerous.
Make sure you are not followed.

1195
01:51:49,480 --> 01:51:54,952
- And Adam too?
- No, not him. He seems a little reluctant.

1196
01:51:55,160 --> 01:51:57,833
Adam lives in his world of art.

1197
01:52:19,000 --> 01:52:22,310
- You like Adam, don't you?
- I think so.

1198
01:52:22,520 --> 01:52:25,671
- And he likes you?
- I don't know.

1199
01:52:26,640 --> 01:52:31,111
How could he not like you? He's
an aesthete. He probably likes you to death.

1200
01:52:41,840 --> 01:52:45,833
I'd like to organise a trip to the mountains
with the students.

1201
01:52:46,040 --> 01:52:48,838
- That's a great idea.
- We'll go to the Tatras.

1202
01:52:49,040 --> 01:52:52,953
A premise for your thesis.
The moral value of honesty and courage.

1203
01:52:53,160 --> 01:52:54,718
I like it.

1204
01:52:55,680 --> 01:52:57,113
Adam.

1205
01:53:01,320 --> 01:53:02,958
Adam.

1206

- Oh, right. That's why Wojtyla isn't here yet.

1218
01:54:19,040 --> 01:54:24,558
They all went to get something to eat.
Not me, though. I'm sweating the test.

1219
01:54:25,600 --> 01:54:29,639
I didn't go to classes. I work in Poznan
but I'm trying to study.

1220
01:54:31,360 --> 01:54:35,353
What's this Wojtyla like?
He's a priest too, right?

1221
01:54:35,560 --> 01:54:36,549
Yes.

1222
01:54:37,560 --> 01:54:40,438
- Is he mean?
- Mean?

1223
01:54:40,640 --> 01:54:42,392
Worse.

1224
01:54:42,600 --> 01:54:45,558
He's a tyrant. A real tyrant.

Oh, my God.

1226
01:54:50,800 --> 01:54:54,713
- Are you well prepared?
- More or less.

1227
01:54:55,920 --> 01:55:01,631
Could you explain Max Scheler's polemic
against technological society to me?

1228
01:55:02,680 --> 01:55:05,319
He opposes the rationalists

who believe that we are able
to dominate nature and man.

And?

1231

- So you're from Poznan, too.
- Right, yeah.

1234
01:55:35,080 --> 01:55:40,632
So, I found a classmate of ours who knows
his stuff and he really helped me.

1235

Give me your grade book, Witold.

01:56:39,920 --> 01:56:42,559
- Goodbye.
- Goodbye.

1248
01:57:00,640 --> 01:57:02,119
Your wings.

1249
01:57:03,680 --> 01:57:07,309
- You're a poet.
- No. Not at all.

1250
01:57:07,520 --> 01:57:10,876
I only know three verses of a poem by heart.
It's Turkish.

1251
01:57:11,080 --> 01:57:13,913
A Turkish poem? In Turkish?

1252
01:57:15,920 --> 01:57:20,436
"We have yet to sail
the most beautiful of seas,

1253
01:57:20,640 --> 01:57:24,474
we have yet to live the most beautiful of days,

1254
01:57:25,160 --> 01:57:31,076
and I have yet to tell you the most
beautiful things I want to say to you."

1255
01:57:35,040 --> 01:57:38,999
Don't look at me like that. I get embarrassed.

1256
01:57:54,160 --> 01:57:56,116
Come on, we're late.

1257
01:57:58,000 --> 01:57:59,035
We're late.

1258
01:58:13,480 --> 01:58:17,109
[Karol] There is nothing more mysterious
and unknown than love.

1259
01:58:17,320 --> 01:58:20,517
We have a deep, desperate need
of absolute love.

1260
01:58:20,720 --> 01:58:25,396
The difference between how we perceive it
and how badly we live it is a terrible thing.

1261
01:58:25,600 --> 01:58:27,830
Well...

1262
01:58:28,040 --> 01:58:32,875
love's not something that can be taught
and yet it's absolutely vital to learn about it.

1263
01:58:33,080 --> 01:58:34,957
One thing's for sure.

1264
01:58:35,160 --> 01:58:39,551
Love and sexuality are the most exciting link
between mind and nature.

1265
01:58:41,480 --> 01:58:45,917
But love is also a responsibility.

1266
01:58:46,120 --> 01:58:49,351
When a man and a woman
are united by real love,

1267
01:58:49,560 --> 01:58:54,111
one takes over the other's destiny and future
as if it were their own.

1268
01:58:54,320 --> 01:58:59,952
And that can mean a lot of strain and suffering,
but that's the only serious way to love.

1269
01:59:01,840 --> 01:59:04,229
And not by making a game out of it.

1270

1276
01:59:41,400 --> 01:59:43,960

- Karol.

1277
01:59:45,360 --> 01:59:47,351
Where have you been all these years?

1278
01:59:47,560 --> 01:59:50,154
I work in the Cegielski factory in Poznan now.

1279
01:59:50,360 --> 01:59:52,316
How are things going?

1280
01:59:52,520 --> 01:59:57,116
- Badly. I mean, just fine.
- Which is it?

1281
01:59:57,320 --> 02:00:03,077
<i>Both. Badly because this regime</i>
<i>is an insult to socialism.</i>

<i>The people are starving.</i>

1283

And fine, because I still feel strong
and ready to fight.

1284
02:00:10,440 --> 02:00:12,954
And you know what? I am in love.

1285
02:00:14,320 --> 02:00:16,595
You're in love? That's great news.

1286
02:00:18,240 --> 02:00:21,118
- Who is she?
- Her name is Magda.

1287
02:00:22,080 --> 02:00:26,312
She has blue eyes. Beautiful. She's a widow.

1288
02:00:27,200 --> 02:00:29,634
Are you getting married?

1289
02:00:29,840 --> 02:00:34,868
She doesn't want to. She has a small child.
We see each other secretly.

1290
02:00:35,360 --> 02:00:37,351
Give her time.

1291
02:00:37,560 --> 02:00:39,949
And take it easy on the beer, OK?

1292

and let them know how angry we are.

1298

- What good will it do?
- You're on their side?

1299
02:01:06,200 --> 02:01:10,830
I'm just afraid of the consequences.
I don't want to cry for martyrs any more.

1300
02:01:11,040 --> 02:01:16,433
Don't worry. They're not going to start
shooting at us. We're the proletariat.

1301
02:01:19,720 --> 02:01:21,836
Good work.

1302

He probably figures we are listening in.

1303
02:01:28,800 --> 02:01:31,234
I don't think so.

1304
02:01:31,440 --> 02:01:36,230
I've provoked him a thousand times.
We take the train together almost every time,

1305
02:01:36,440 --> 02:01:40,911
and he's never uttered one word against
the socialist government of this country.

1306
02:01:41,120 --> 02:01:42,997
He's not interested in politics.

Perhaps, and I say this with all due respect,
comrade, you're wrong.

1308

I am not wrong, Zielinski. I want this man.

1309
02:01:55,320 --> 02:01:58,915
And you're going to give me
the means to do it. Is that clear?

1310
02:01:59,120 --> 02:02:02,795
Are you telling me
that I have to make things up?

"But if love doesn't win out, the Nazis

a strength you know nothing about.

1396
02:09:24,360 --> 02:09:27,033
How would you like to go abroad?

1397
02:09:29,240 --> 02:09:32,471
I don't know...what about ltaly or the Riviera?

1398
02:09:32,680 --> 02:09:36,434
My place is in my cathedral or in prison.

1399
02:09:37,720 --> 02:09:41,508
You can go back to your cathedral.
The government has changed.

1400
02:09:41,720 --> 02:09:43,358
Comrade Gomulka is in power now

1401
02:09:43,560 --> 02:09:46,472
and thinks that you can take up
your duties again.

1402
02:09:46,680 --> 02:09:51,515
You fired on the workers.
You used tanks against people in Hungary.

1403
02:09:51,720 --> 02:09:53,312
Is that what Communism is?

1404
02:09:53,520 --> 02:09:58,674
I think it's intolerable that they ended up
firing on workers, even if they were agitators.

1405
02:09:58,880 --> 02:10:03,032
Even more intolerable
is the failure of so many government plans.

1406
02:10:03,240 --> 02:10:05,390
Are you saying this to protect your career?

1407
02:10:05,600 --> 02:10:08,990
You can think of me as an enemy
but not as a worm.

1408
02:10:09,200 --> 02:10:12,556
Whether you like it or not, we're alike.
We are believers.

1409
02:10:12,760 --> 02:10:16,070
The fact remains that people
demonstrating peacefully scare you.

1410
02:10:16,280 --> 02:10:19,078
You release the head of the Church
to have an alibi.

1411
02:10:19,280 --> 02:10:22,033
You are making a very grave mistake.

1412
02:10:22,240 --> 02:10:24,549
Governments might change and ease up,

1413
02:10:24,760 --> 02:10:28,389
but I am and always will be against you.

1414
02:10:28,600 --> 02:10:32,434
Don't think that letting me out
will influence my soul in any way.

1415
02:10:32,640 --> 02:10:35,234
Nobody wants to buy your soul.

1416
02:10:36,720 --> 02:10:41,271
We want to achieve Communism,
carrying it out with all the changes needed.

1417
02:10:41,480 --> 02:10:44,995
With or without the backing of the Church.

1418
02:10:48,840 --> 02:10:51,274
How do I manage to be so late all the time?

Were you in Mazuria
to carry out your spiritual exercises?

1434
02:12:00,920 --> 02:12:05,516
No... I was with a group of my students.
We were kayaking.

Yes...

1436

I've heard you are perhaps
a little bit too athletic.

1437
02:12:12,400 --> 02:12:14,834
I was curious to meet you.

- Do you know why I sent for you?
- No...Your Eminence.

Your archbishop, Monsignor Baziak,

1440

has obtained your appointment
as Bishop of Kraków from the Pope.

1441
02:12:49,400 --> 02:12:53,791
- I am far too young.
- That's a weakness you will get rid of soon.

1442

I ask you not to oppose the Holy Father's will.

He wouldn't tell me his name.
He seems very nervous.

1450
02:15:01,480 --> 02:15:04,392
- Maybe we ought to call the police.
- No, we will not.

It's Nowak. No, you may go, Sister.
Everything's fine. Just fine.

02:15:12,800 --> 02:15:14,791
Nowak.

Did you really think
I wouldn't recognise that voice of yours?

So my miner friend is a bishop.

- I'm sure they're here.
- No, times...

1462

Times have changed.
We don't live under terror any more.

1463

Nothing has changed.

1464
02:15:57,200 --> 02:16:01,990
There are illusions of change,
illusions of freedom.

1465

That might be enough for the intellectuals,
but not for me.

They are trying to hurt us.

They don't want us to smile any more.

Never. Remember that.

I am talking to you about God

1475

Now she doesn't love me any more
because I wasn't able to save her child.

1480
02:17:13,560 --> 02:17:16,279
I became a priest
to help people ease their pain.

1481

Good Lord.

I'm late for an appointment
at the Communist Party headquarters.

02:18:00,960 --> 02:18:05,238
- But why take off your...?
- So they see I am not there to provoke them.

1489
02:18:05,440 --> 02:18:09,877
But no Polish bishop has ever set foot
in the Communist Party headquarters.

1490
02:18:10,080 --> 02:18:12,355
There's always a first time.

We'll divide up the building.

1493

Two floors for your seminary
and two floors for us.

1494
02:18:33,920 --> 02:18:37,959
Half a seminary is better than
no seminary at all, so I thank you.

1495
02:18:38,160 --> 02:18:42,119
Don't thank me.
The Party says you are open to dialogue.

1496
02:18:42,320 --> 02:18:45,039
They don't see you as a fanatic, a reactionary.

1497
02:18:45,240 --> 02:18:48,277
That's exactly what I feared, Karol.

1498
02:18:48,480 --> 02:18:51,313
I don't like that optimistic smile of yours.

1499
02:18:51,520 --> 02:18:55,195
Still, all things considered,
we both have the same goal in life.

1500
02:18:55,400 --> 02:18:56,833
The happiness of man.

1501
02:18:58,600 --> 02:19:00,158
Of course. Happiness.

Are you acting?

1505

There is not a lot to be happy about,
and don't give me any faith talk.

1506
02:19:14,480 --> 02:19:18,029
I didn't mention faith.
I was asking you to consider happiness.

1507
02:19:18,240 --> 02:19:20,595
Faith is superstitious madness.

more beautiful than wisdom of human origin."

We've said all there is to say.

1512
02:19:36,080 --> 02:19:38,116
You get half of your seminary back.

1513
02:19:38,320 --> 02:19:40,038
You have my word.

1514
02:19:40,240 --> 02:19:42,356

- Nowa Huta.

are waiting for a church to be built.

1517

Nowa Huta is a new city in the new Poland,
created for the new man.

1518
02:19:56,320 --> 02:20:00,598
A man who doesn't need God.
And you want to build a church there?

1519
02:20:00,800 --> 02:20:04,270
As Bishop, I have the right
to carry this with me.

1520
02:20:05,320 --> 02:20:08,869
I'm not allowed to hand it around, but...

1521
02:20:09,080 --> 02:20:12,709
please don't have me arrested
if I give it to you as a present.

That's the Gospel according to Matthew.

the Sermon on the Mount, chapter five.

You entered the devil's house

1528

and you negotiated with him.

1529
02:21:04,400 --> 02:21:07,949
We do not negotiate
with the Communist Party.

1530
02:21:08,160 --> 02:21:11,755
We do not set foot in their headquarters.

1531
02:21:13,240 --> 02:21:15,993
If you have anything
to discuss with the political authorities,

1532
02:21:16,200 --> 02:21:20,159
you must do so
with the consent of the man

1533
02:21:20,360 --> 02:21:24,319
who is until proven otherwise
the Primate of Poland

1534
02:21:24,520 --> 02:21:26,397
and your immediate superior.

1535

You're right, Eminence.

1536
02:21:29,520 --> 02:21:32,239
I should have asked you first. I...

1537
02:21:33,280 --> 02:21:35,635
I didn't mean any disrespect.

1538
02:21:36,680 --> 02:21:39,797
- I'm sorry. It won't happen again.
- Good.

1539
02:21:40,000 --> 02:21:43,834
In any case, you managed to get us
half a seminary. Is that right?

1540
02:21:45,720 --> 02:21:51,078
The man you dealt with would line us
all up against the wall, given the occasion.

1541
02:21:52,920 --> 02:21:55,718
And you got us half a seminary.

1542
02:21:55,920 --> 02:22:00,152
Congratulations.
How did you manage to do that?

1543
02:22:03,160 --> 02:22:05,913
Would you bless me, Father?

1544
02:22:15,000 --> 02:22:17,753
<i>[Pawel] Karol, I know you are now in Rome.</i>

1545
02:22:17,960 --> 02:22:23,512
<i>I'm writing with the news that our family</i>
<i>has been blessed with the arrival of little Jan.</i>

1546
02:22:34,440 --> 02:22:36,192
Oo-hoo.

1547
02:22:47,920 --> 02:22:50,832
Mr Kowalski? If you have a second...

1548
02:22:51,040 --> 02:22:52,758
Sure.

1549
02:23:07,760 --> 02:23:11,150
<i>But destiny was lying in wait</i>
<i>ready to strike us</i>

1550
02:23:11,360 --> 02:23:13,555
<i>at the very moment we were most vulnerable.</i>

1551
02:23:15,800 --> 02:23:17,756
Have a seat.

1552
02:23:19,520 --> 02:23:22,239
I knew there was something wrong.

1553
02:23:22,440 --> 02:23:25,750
Your wife was having breathing problems

1554
02:23:25,960 --> 02:23:30,829
and repeated attacks of coughing
during and after delivery,

1555
02:23:31,880 --> 02:23:35,555
so I ran some tests,
but I wasn't expecting this.

1556
02:23:37,080 --> 02:23:39,640
That shadow on the right lung...

1557
02:23:39,840 --> 02:23:45,756
unfortunately is a tumour
that has developed metastases.

1558
02:23:51,920 --> 02:23:53,672
I'm sorry.

1559
02:24:03,120 --> 02:24:05,634
How long?

1560
02:24:05,840 --> 02:24:07,558
Three or four months.

1561
02:24:11,840 --> 02:24:17,676
<i>We have faith, of course,</i>
<i>but when God abandons you, it's difficult.</i>

1562
02:24:17,880 --> 02:24:20,155
<i>It's atrocious, Karol.</i>

1563
02:24:25,400 --> 02:24:30,394
<i>I write through tears because I'm alone.</i>
<i>When she's present, I smile.</i>

1564
02:24:33,960 --> 02:24:36,872
<i>I've decided to tell her nothing</i>

1565
02:24:37,080 --> 02:24:41,073
<i>so she can have peace of mind</i>
<i>for the time that's left.</i>

1566
02:24:43,600 --> 02:24:47,275
<i>I'll keep the anguish and pain within me.</i>

1567
02:24:56,320 --> 02:24:58,311
<i>The opening of the Council's first session</i>

1568
02:24:58,520 --> 02:25:00,750
<i>is crowned by the placement</i>
<i>of the Holy Gospel.</i>

1569
02:25:00,960 --> 02:25:05,351
<i>As in 20 preceding Ecumenical Councils,</i>
<i>it shall take the place of honour,</i>

1570
02:25:05,560 --> 02:25:08,279
<i>followed by the ensuing working sessions.</i>

1571
02:25:08,480 --> 02:25:10,198
<i>Man is a unique being.</i>

1572
02:25:10,400 --> 02:25:14,871
<i>He lives in a material world,</i>
<i>but harbours deep spiritual urges.</i>

1573
02:25:15,080 --> 02:25:17,548
<i>He's a mystery to himself and to others.</i>

1574
02:25:17,760 --> 02:25:20,752
<i>Now the Church grows less and less efficient.</i>

1575
02:25:20,960 --> 02:25:23,599
<i>The Church can no longer</i>
<i>show itself to the world</i>

1576
02:25:23,800 --> 02:25:26,678
<i>draped in the archaic Western culture.</i>

1577
02:25:26,880 --> 02:25:30,634
<i>We mustn't be standing over the world,</i>
<i>lecturing it and asking for obedience.</i>

1578
02:25:30,840 --> 02:25:33,274
<i>Now the Church has to walk with the world.</i>

1579
02:25:33,480 --> 02:25:35,436
<i>Men are looking for the truth.</i>

1580
02:25:35,640 --> 02:25:39,110
<i>We must find solutions</i>
<i>to the difficult problems of life with them.</i>

1581
02:25:39,320 --> 02:25:43,757
<i>We must face the despair of human existence</i>
<i>in these times of ours.</i>

1582
02:25:43,960 --> 02:25:49,671
<i>With this in mind, the layman</i>
<i>has to be in the centre of Church life.</i>

1583
02:25:49,880 --> 02:25:54,317
<i>I denounce every form</i>
<i>of clerical mentality as an error.</i>

1584
02:25:54,520 --> 02:25:58,195
Yes, in the new neighbourhood of Nowa Huta.

1585
02:25:58,400 --> 02:26:02,109
That's a working-class neighbourhood.
You're a teacher. Why live there?

1586
02:26:02,320 --> 02:26:04,436
The government
won't let them build a church.

1587
02:26:04,640 --> 02:26:06,596
You're right, that's a great reason.

1588
02:26:06,800 --> 02:26:09,155
You wretch.

1589
02:26:09,360 --> 02:26:13,672
In my free time between classes,
I can go and visit families.

1590
02:26:13,880 --> 02:26:18,158
The farmers have been forced to become
workers, to live in beehive apartments,

1591
02:26:18,360 --> 02:26:22,353
and their habits, their traditions
have been totally ignored.

1592
02:26:22,560 --> 02:26:25,028
These families are falling apart.

1593
02:26:25,240 --> 02:26:28,676
There is drunkenness,
women and children being battered...

1594
02:26:30,800 --> 02:26:33,439
There's so much bitterness.

1595
02:26:33,640 --> 02:26:37,633
You're too beautiful
to have that sad look in your eyes.

1596
02:26:40,040 --> 02:26:43,874
Do you love me
at least half as much as I love you?

1597
02:26:45,200 --> 02:26:47,350
- Adam?
- Yes?

1598
02:26:47,560 --> 02:26:50,233
- Did you hear what I asked?
- Of course I did.

1599
02:26:50,440 --> 02:26:52,715
And?

1600
02:26:52,920 --> 02:26:55,480
"The sweet love of a woman overcomes all."

1601
02:26:55,680 --> 02:26:59,116
I don't remember who wrote that,
but Wojtyla says it too.

1602
02:26:59,320 --> 02:27:01,276
Here we are.

1603
02:27:02,440 --> 02:27:05,750
- Third floor, door on the right.
- But where are you going?

1604
02:27:05,960 --> 02:27:10,988
I forgot. I have to see someone
who can help me get a job at the university.

1605
02:27:11,200 --> 02:27:15,352
Put the kettle on, I'll be right back.
Third floor, door on the right.

1606
02:27:25,840 --> 02:27:30,118
I've... I've listened to thousands of confessions

1607
02:27:31,200 --> 02:27:34,795
and I got a pretty depressing picture
of human despair.

1608
02:27:35,000 --> 02:27:39,437
I have to tell you, Wojtyla's stamina is scary.

1609
02:27:39,640 --> 02:27:44,430
He helps people, encourages them,
talks and talks...

1610
02:27:44,640 --> 02:27:48,189
but there's not one word
you could use against him.

1611
02:27:48,400 --> 02:27:53,269
Please, let me do something more useful.

1612
02:27:53,480 --> 02:27:57,996
Negative. You're part of his group
and you're going to keep on watching him.

1613
02:28:02,640 --> 02:28:04,232
[Kordek] Adam.

1614
02:28:12,440 --> 02:28:17,116
Did Wojtyla get to you?
Or was it that Catholic girl's nice ass?

1615
02:28:20,440 --> 02:28:25,150
I know that the worker element in Nowa Huta
is involved in subversive activities.

1616
02:28:25,360 --> 02:28:28,750
And I'm convinced that Wojtyla is with them.

1617
02:28:28,960 --> 02:28:32,919
So they better watch out if that project fails.

1618
02:28:45,280 --> 02:28:46,952
Hey, Darek!

1619
02:28:47,160 --> 02:28:51,039
You stand guard.
We don't want them coming by for a control.

1620
02:28:58,120 --> 02:29:02,636
St Paul says, "l rejoice in infirmities, in insults,

1621
02:29:02,840 --> 02:29:06,515
in needs, in persecutions, in suffering,

1622
02:29:06,720 --> 02:29:09,951
for when I am weak, that is when I am strong."

1623
02:29:10,160 --> 02:29:11,718
They converted you?

1624
02:29:11,920 --> 02:29:14,798
Never. But it is a truth.

1625
02:29:15,000 --> 02:29:17,514
Like the man who told me
these words claimed.

1626
02:29:17,720 --> 02:29:19,676
- St Paul?
- Wojtyla.

1627
02:29:19,880 --> 02:29:22,599
- A bishop!
- And a miner.

1628
02:29:36,840 --> 02:29:39,912
Long live our socialist homeland!

1629
02:29:47,880 --> 02:29:49,632
Kordek.

1630
02:29:51,040 --> 02:29:53,873
A well-timed heart attack
eliminated the Archbishop of Kraków.

1631
02:29:54,080 --> 02:29:56,310
The list of candidates signed by Wyszynski?

1632
02:29:56,520 --> 02:30:00,195
I turned them all down.
Nothing but a bunch of fanatical anti-Marxists.

1633
02:30:00,400 --> 02:30:03,392
- Do you want a name?
- We already have it.

1634
02:30:03,600 --> 02:30:07,434
A name that Wyszynski
didn't put on the list. Wojtyla.

1635
02:30:07,640 --> 02:30:10,393
You are making a mistake.
Wojtyla must be stopped.

1636
02:30:10,600 --> 02:30:15,230
I have been informed
that the man obsesses you.

1637
02:30:16,280 --> 02:30:17,554
Where is the problem?

1638
02:30:17,760 --> 02:30:22,629
That man has an inner strength that no other
priest in Poland has, including Wyszynski.

1639
02:30:22,840 --> 02:30:28,790
- He can draw the young and work against...
- A man who talks about prayer and love?

1640
02:30:29,000 --> 02:30:31,958
Wojtyla isn't involved
in any anti-government activities

1641
02:30:32,160 --> 02:30:35,755
and he lacks organisational
and leadership skills.

1642
02:30:35,960 --> 02:30:41,114
And then tradition dictates
that Kraków's archbishop be a nobleman.

1643
02:30:41,320 --> 02:30:43,390
And we are backing a proletarian.

1644
02:30:43,600 --> 02:30:47,309
- Wojtyla is our real enemy.
- Our enemy is Wyszynski.

1645
02:30:47,520 --> 02:30:51,718
He's the patriot, the union activist,
the symbol for the masses.

1646
02:30:51,920 --> 02:30:54,753
We must support Wojtyla against Wyszynski.

1647
02:30:54,960 --> 02:30:57,394
You're making a tragic error.

1648
02:31:00,080 --> 02:31:03,789
The government authorises Wojtyla's name.

1649
02:31:07,040 --> 02:31:09,713
- That name wasn't on my list.
- I know.

1650
02:31:09,920 --> 02:31:12,514
We agreed the government
could approve but not impose.

1651
02:31:12,720 --> 02:31:14,472
This is what it has decided.

1652
02:31:14,680 --> 02:31:18,275
I don't agree with the government either,
if that's any consolation.

1653
02:31:18,480 --> 02:31:21,233
The real issue here is...

1654
02:31:21,440 --> 02:31:25,911
just between you and me,
let's say Wojtyla wasn't on your list

1655
02:31:26,120 --> 02:31:28,156
because either you didn't want him

1656
02:31:28,360 --> 02:31:33,309
or you wanted him, and all this
was just a way of getting him nominated.

1657
02:31:39,840 --> 02:31:42,195
Where do I sign?

1658
02:31:47,120 --> 02:31:50,032
<i>[Karol] Lord, You who challenges man</i>

1659
02:31:50,240 --> 02:31:52,993
<i>so that man can find the strength</i>
<i>to challenge fate,</i>

1660
02:31:54,040 --> 02:31:56,873
<i>help me to be able to take action.</i>

1661
02:31:57,080 --> 02:32:00,072
<i>Help me to relive the Cross every day.</i>

1662
02:32:00,280 --> 02:32:03,875
<i>Help me to walk along a path</i>
<i>that wasn't mine.</i>

1663
02:32:04,080 --> 02:32:06,674
<i>Help me to deal with politicians.</i>

1664
02:32:07,920 --> 02:32:12,710
<i>Help me to help all those who need it.</i>

1665
02:32:20,280 --> 02:32:21,872
Are you asleep?

1666
02:32:36,200 --> 02:32:38,668
What are you dreaming about?

1667
02:32:40,840 --> 02:32:44,116
I feel sorry for you. I really do.

1668
02:32:45,240 --> 02:32:49,631
You're fooling yourself
if you think you're happy.

1669
02:32:49,840 --> 02:32:55,153
You're fooling yourself if you think that a God
who doesn't exist cares about the world.

1670
02:32:57,120 --> 02:32:59,315
You're fooling yourself

1671
02:32:59,520 --> 02:33:02,592
if you think that I can love you.

1672
02:33:02,800 --> 02:33:04,392
You want to marry me?

1673
02:33:05,720 --> 02:33:07,676
You want children?

1674
02:33:10,120 --> 02:33:12,395
I will never do that...

1675
02:33:19,560 --> 02:33:22,074
..and I will never be more lonely.

1676
02:33:46,640 --> 02:33:50,838
- How did you get in?
- You should keep your door closed.

1677
02:33:51,040 --> 02:33:55,511
I'm not afraid.
Besides, you came in, not some thief.

1678
02:33:58,960 --> 02:34:02,350
- What's wrong?
- Nothing.

1679
02:34:02,560 --> 02:34:07,395
You look unhappy.
Nobody should be unhappy on Christmas Eve.

1680
02:34:07,600 --> 02:34:09,875
Unhappiness doesn't follow the calendar.

1681
02:34:10,080 --> 02:34:13,072
I promise you
I can teach you how to be happy.

1682
02:34:13,280 --> 02:34:14,679
Marry me,

1683
02:34:14,880 --> 02:34:20,238
and I'll make you feel how wonderful it is to live
and be in harmony with yourself.

1684
02:34:20,440 --> 02:34:23,477
Inner peace
isn't just for the simple-minded.

1685
02:34:23,680 --> 02:34:27,832
You can find it, too,
if you just let yourself be loved.

1686
02:34:41,040 --> 02:34:44,476
Tonight, the history of Nowa Huta
is going to change.

1687
02:34:44,680 --> 02:34:50,232
Wojtyla is going to say the mass, at the foot
of the great cross made by the workers.

1688
02:34:50,440 --> 02:34:54,877
- What are you talking about?
- Oh, yes. Shh.

1689
02:35:24,120 --> 02:35:29,069
What's wrong, Adam? Don't you have
anything to do on Christmas Eve?

1690
02:35:29,280 --> 02:35:32,829
I figured out what they've been
cooking up at Nowa Huta.

1691
02:35:33,040 --> 02:35:34,996
But it might be too late.

1692
02:35:47,320 --> 02:35:49,390
<i>[rhythmic beat of batons]</i>

1693

<i>This assembly has not been authorised.</i>
<i>You will clear the area immediately.</i>

1694
02:35:58,200 --> 02:36:00,191
<i>Clear the areal</i>

1695
02:36:08,280 --> 02:36:10,236
What are you doing?

1696
02:36:11,600 --> 02:36:13,591
Stop this! Stop it!

1697
02:36:13,800 --> 02:36:17,952
You can't keep us from having a cross!
We're Polish.

1698
02:36:18,160 --> 02:36:20,037
So are you!

1699
02:36:22,800 --> 02:36:26,270
Stop it! We came here to pray!

1700
02:36:26,480 --> 02:36:27,754
[shrill whistle]

1701
02:36:27,960 --> 02:36:30,110
- Fall back!
- We came here to pray.

1702
02:36:40,880 --> 02:36:45,476
You, the workers of Nowa Huta, have put up
this cross where you want to build a church.

1703
02:36:45,680 --> 02:36:50,959
Your city was supposed to be a city
without God, but your will has prevailed.

1704
02:36:51,160 --> 02:36:52,878
Let this be a lesson!

1705
02:36:53,080 --> 02:36:55,230
[applause]

1706
02:37:06,560 --> 02:37:09,154
- Who is in charge here?
- Captain Lukowski.

1707
02:37:09,360 --> 02:37:11,920
- Take me to him.
- Follow me.

1708
02:37:12,120 --> 02:37:16,238
[Karol] But they can't turn their backs
to the truth, nor speak of it, nor hide it.

1709
02:37:16,440 --> 02:37:20,228
Kordek, Fifth Department.
I am ordering you to disperse this mob.

1710
02:37:21,160 --> 02:37:25,153
- Comrade Kliszko.
- Give me that. Give me that!

1711
02:37:27,240 --> 02:37:31,199
Your cross is the symbol
of the sacrifice that redeemed man,

1712
02:37:31,400 --> 02:37:34,278
that gives a new sense to life,

1713
02:37:35,320 --> 02:37:38,949
that teaches us to love and to respect life.

1714
02:37:39,160 --> 02:37:42,118
This man is defying us. He has to be stopped.

1715
02:37:42,320 --> 02:37:46,757
If these people aren't afraid of us any more,
it's all over! Do you understand?

1716
02:37:46,960 --> 02:37:53,433
We are the citizens of our country, the citizens
of our city, but we are also the people of God.

1717
02:37:53,640 --> 02:37:56,473
We will continue to demand our rights.

1718
02:37:56,680 --> 02:38:02,516
Religious freedom is the highest expression
of human dignity. To stifle it is a crime.

1719
02:38:02,720 --> 02:38:04,676
[applause]

1720
02:38:11,800 --> 02:38:19,673
This rock was given to me in Rome by Paul VI
for you, the workers of Nowa Huta.

1721
02:38:19,880 --> 02:38:22,838
It comes from Saint Peter's Cathedral.

1722
02:38:23,040 --> 02:38:27,238
And on this rock we will build our church!

1723
02:38:32,800 --> 02:38:36,236
- Tell your men to take action.
- I give the orders around here.

1724
02:38:36,440 --> 02:38:41,560
Well, then, give your orders.
Right now! Silence that man.

1725
02:38:41,760 --> 02:38:43,512
I told you to silence Wojtyla!

1726
02:38:43,720 --> 02:38:47,269
Listen. I've had about enough of you. Shut up!

1727
02:38:48,440 --> 02:38:51,193
Come with us. Keep still.

1728
02:38:51,400 --> 02:38:53,960
You have to trust in the strength of hope.

1729
02:38:55,440 --> 02:39:01,754
You have to trust in love, which is stronger
than death. You must never lose faith.

1730
02:39:02,840 --> 02:39:07,630
You must not lose heart,
you must not get discouraged.

1731
02:39:09,080 --> 02:39:13,756
Never lose the freedom of mind
with which Christ makes men free.

1732
02:39:15,640 --> 02:39:18,313
I am your bishop

1733
02:39:18,520 --> 02:39:23,799
and I will be with you every day
until the end of my days. I bless you.

1734
02:39:24,920 --> 02:39:31,632
<i>Benedicat vos omnipotens Deus,</i>
<i>Pater, et Filius, et Spiritus Sanctus.</i>

1735
02:39:31,840 --> 02:39:33,512
[crowd] Amen.

1736
02:39:33,720 --> 02:39:35,676
Adam.

1737
02:39:43,000 --> 02:39:44,672
<i>[Pawel] You were right, Karol.</i>

1738
02:39:44,880 --> 02:39:50,955
<i>Hope, prayer and love, that hidden strength</i>
<i>within us, can prevail over evil.</i>

1739
02:40:05,200 --> 02:40:09,671
Do you remember the tumour?
Here, look at this.

1740
02:40:09,880 --> 02:40:12,189
It disappeared.

1741
02:40:12,400 --> 02:40:14,868
Well, it happens sometimes.

1742
02:40:15,080 --> 02:40:19,437
Even for us doctors, our body
is more a mystery than a certainty.

1743
02:40:20,760 --> 02:40:22,830
You're a lucky family.

1744
02:40:24,640 --> 02:40:26,949
Thank you.

1745
02:40:29,680 --> 02:40:31,796
[Pawel shouts with joy]

1746
02:40:32,000 --> 02:40:36,471
<i>[Pawel] I'm frightened. Yes, frightened</i>
<i>like he who has been blessed.</i>

1747
02:40:36,680 --> 02:40:42,073
<i>I can't call it a miracle. For me</i>
<i>the word is both vague and misleading.</i>

1748
02:40:42,280 --> 02:40:46,068
<i>A mystery, said the doctor,</i>
<i>be it for science or the faith.</i>

1749
02:40:46,280 --> 02:40:50,558
<i>I know you asked Padre Pio</i>
<i>to intercede for us. Thank you for his prayers.</i>

1750
02:40:50,760 --> 02:40:54,469
<i>Thanks to the inscrutable destiny</i>
<i>that gave Hania the strength to heal</i>

1751
02:40:54,680 --> 02:40:57,592
<i>and made me a privileged and happy man.</i>

1752
02:40:57,800 --> 02:41:00,473
Pawel, what are you doing?

1753
02:41:04,600 --> 02:41:07,239
Pawel, what's wrong with you?

1754
02:41:09,320 --> 02:41:12,073
You're mine!

1755
02:41:14,760 --> 02:41:17,593
You're mine forever!

1756
02:41:20,600 --> 02:41:23,398
Will you tell me what's going on?

1757
02:41:24,640 --> 02:41:27,598
Nothing. I love you.

1758
02:41:46,280 --> 02:41:47,998
I've been spying on you.

1759
02:41:49,640 --> 02:41:52,950
Yes. I'm a spy.

1760
02:41:57,760 --> 02:42:00,069
I was trained for this.

1761
02:42:01,720 --> 02:42:04,075
I planted microphones.

1762
02:42:04,280 --> 02:42:06,748
I listened to your confessions.

1763
02:42:06,960 --> 02:42:08,712
I read your letters.

1764
02:42:09,600 --> 02:42:11,636
I was paid for doing this.

1765
02:42:13,360 --> 02:42:15,316
And I'm just one of many.

1766
02:42:18,760 --> 02:42:21,320
I always knew it was useless.

1767
02:42:22,360 --> 02:42:24,749
And even though I hated you,

1768
02:42:24,960 --> 02:42:29,397
your words slipped inside of me,
like water through a crack.

1769
02:42:30,360 --> 02:42:34,353
You speak of love. Such a sick word.

1770
02:42:37,040 --> 02:42:39,713
Love for despicable human beings.

1771
02:42:42,680 --> 02:42:44,989
You are not despicable.

1772
02:42:46,360 --> 02:42:50,239
The pain inside you,
and your anger, are your soul.

1773
02:42:52,400 --> 02:42:56,439
A soul that needs to be loved so much
that it's smothered by it.

1774
02:42:58,320 --> 02:43:01,995
If you made mistakes,
you already paid for them.

1775
02:43:04,920 --> 02:43:07,559
Thank you.

1776
02:43:07,760 --> 02:43:10,558
Thank you, Adam. Today is a great day.

1777
02:43:10,760 --> 02:43:15,754
This is the second time
I've been a witness to the divine value of life.

1778
02:43:20,880 --> 02:43:23,030
Go in peace.

1779
02:43:24,240 --> 02:43:27,312
Everything that should be forgiven is forgiven.

1780
02:43:29,080 --> 02:43:31,230
You're a chosen one.

1781
02:43:58,280 --> 02:43:59,554
No.

1782
02:44:03,200 --> 02:44:05,236
Come here.

1783
02:44:07,400 --> 02:44:08,833
Come here.

1784
02:44:16,280 --> 02:44:19,113
I forgive you. I forgive you.

1785
02:44:22,880 --> 02:44:24,791
I love you.

1786
02:44:27,640 --> 02:44:28,993
I love you.

1787
02:44:29,200 --> 02:44:33,398
[Karol] Nobody should be forced
to embrace faith against his will.

1788
02:44:33,600 --> 02:44:38,037
The cause of man's spiritual freedom,
freedom of conscience, religious freedom,

1789
02:44:38,240 --> 02:44:40,151
is a great human cause.

1790
02:44:40,360 --> 02:44:43,432
For today's man and throughout history.

1791
02:44:43,640 --> 02:44:47,315
It's not enough for man to say, "I am free."

1792
02:44:47,520 --> 02:44:50,671
He has to learn to say, "I am responsible."

1793
02:44:50,880 --> 02:44:55,476
I'd like to talk about the Church's dialogue
with atheism now.

1794
02:44:55,680 --> 02:44:58,956
We shouldn't start
with the proofs of God's existence,

1795
02:44:59,160 --> 02:45:03,073
but with a reflection
on man's deep and radical solitude.

1796
02:45:11,920 --> 02:45:14,070
Your Excellency!

1797
02:45:18,280 --> 02:45:20,396
You don't recognise me?

- You're alive!
- So are you, Excellency.

1801
02:45:40,480 --> 02:45:43,517
What's that? Don't you remember my name?

1802
02:45:43,720 --> 02:45:45,870
Karol.

1803
02:45:46,080 --> 02:45:50,232
I thought you were dead.
I looked everywhere for news about you.

1804
02:45:50,440 --> 02:45:52,590
I was told you were killed in Russia.

1805
02:45:52,800 --> 02:45:56,554
I should have died.
Not once, but a thousand times.

1806
02:45:58,120 --> 02:46:00,076
And I've found you.

1807
02:46:00,280 --> 02:46:03,477
I was spared, but I was the only one.

1808
02:46:04,640 --> 02:46:07,518
I've forgotten what it means to cry.

1809
02:46:11,800 --> 02:46:14,758
We have to cry, Jerzy.

1810
02:46:14,960 --> 02:46:19,715
The pain has to be released,
brought out in the open for everyone to see.

1811
02:46:22,360 --> 02:46:27,115
"Only the heart and a soul alone."
It was our motto. Remember?

1812
02:46:32,120 --> 02:46:35,715
Jews and Christians
have to come together like this.

1813
02:46:37,960 --> 02:46:40,554
I want you to look this over.

1814
02:46:40,760 --> 02:46:46,278
It is a letter to the German bishops in which
we forgive Germany and we ask to be forgiven.

1815
02:46:46,480 --> 02:46:49,119
The government is going to be furious.

1816
02:46:50,200 --> 02:46:54,273
The time to make a strong gesture of peace
with the Germans has come.

1817
02:46:54,480 --> 02:46:57,233
Do we really have to ask to be forgiven, too?

1818
02:46:57,440 --> 02:46:59,590
We always have to be forgiven.

1819
02:46:59,800 --> 02:47:05,272
This document is very important because
it is the first step in our memory purification.

1820
02:47:05,480 --> 02:47:09,189
We should ask forgiveness for the faults
committed by Christians throughout history.

1821
02:47:09,400 --> 02:47:11,914
That sounds like a destructive enterprise.

1822
02:47:12,120 --> 02:47:17,035
Millions of people have been murdered
because of their race or their ideas.

1823
02:47:17,240 --> 02:47:21,791
We should ask forgiveness wherever
Christians participated or kept silent.

A priest is one who conveys
the mystery of the faith

1842
02:49:01,120 --> 02:49:04,590
with those invisible gifts
destined to all humanity.

1843
02:49:04,800 --> 02:49:10,432
Here we'll work and I'll secretly ordain you,
so you can return to your country as priests.

1844
02:49:10,640 --> 02:49:16,112
And there you'll have to face sacrifices
and fight to defend freedom and peace.

1845
02:49:16,320 --> 02:49:19,471
I shall begin by giving my definition of a priest:

1846
02:49:21,280 --> 02:49:23,271
a man for others.

1847
02:49:23,920 --> 02:49:25,717
In '68, you shouted,

1848
02:49:25,920 --> 02:49:29,754
"No bread without freedom,
no studying without freedom,"

1849
02:49:30,680 --> 02:49:34,912
because you wanted the right
to bread, freedom and truth!

1850
02:49:36,520 --> 02:49:41,913
They arrested us, beat up intellectuals,
closed down the theatres.

1851
02:49:42,720 --> 02:49:46,554
They made the workers think that we were
traitors, and the workers didn't join us.

1852
02:49:46,760 --> 02:49:52,630
Now the workers are in open revolt -
Gdansk, Szczecin, the northern cities.

1853
02:49:53,320 --> 02:49:55,629
The militia opened fire on them.

1854

They are burying the dead
in communal graves!

1855

We know the truth,
so we must be with the workers.

1856
02:50:05,280 --> 02:50:10,513
Remember that wherever the people
cried out, "We want to be free,"

1857
02:50:10,720 --> 02:50:13,314
they have always found their freedom!

You're going to overcome it with him.

He's a chosen one. God will not abandon him.

Even as we speak,
Adam is thinking about your smile.

The power of this thought will be his salvation.

about your daddy,

about the gift he's going to bring you
when he comes back from his trip.

1874
02:52:06,880 --> 02:52:09,030
So this is what it's come to?

that Wojtyla says to you, that God loves you?

1878
02:52:25,480 --> 02:52:30,235
History will always set things straight
on the clock of time.

1879
02:52:30,920 --> 02:52:32,990
That's what he says.

1880
02:52:33,200 --> 02:52:36,397
Go on, Kordek, hit me.

1881
02:52:36,600 --> 02:52:40,832
Hit me as hard as you like,
because He's stronger than you.

The state cannot cancel the rights
that man has possessed since birth!

1883
02:52:49,840 --> 02:52:53,833
The state cannot replace a sense of justice
with a billy club!

1884
02:52:54,040 --> 02:52:58,989
A state that sullies itself like that
is destined to die.

1885
02:52:59,200 --> 02:53:05,594
Every attack on freedom by the state
is a breach of the moral and social order.
