Hanns Eisler won an Academy Award for his musical score.

not very far from E or F.

F reports it G

and G stands for Gestapo.

Yes, I understand. But to you father...

Listen, come here, come here. Look.

Here.

Definition of "No one"...

"not any, not one, not a single one, none!"

Not to me, not to your mother

not to your little brother...

not even to your fiance, Jan.

No one is "no one"!

Look, I've had that old battery for 5 years.

Sometimes it works, sometimes it don't.

It's full of quarks!

There is some quarks to the tags, also.

According to the Gestapo, they

belong to a car that was burned...

last October.

- Is that the late paper?

- Yep.

Can I look at it?

Yep.

Your cab was the getaway car!

I don't know nothing about it.

You will talk to the Gestapo.

Attention!

"By order of the Occupational Police...

"all restaurants, cafes,

theaters...

"and public buildings will

close immediately.

"Curfew, 7:
00 O'clock, sharp.

"After this hour, any person on the

street will be shot on sight."

- He must have gotten over the border.

- There are no borders anymore.

The trains are all stopped,

the frontier closed.

If he only got out of Prague,

that's all I want.

- It looks like they're in a awful sweat.

- You bet.

Excuse me, we have to close now.

Thank you, sir.

There must be some other

way than assassination.

What will be the result?

More terror, more bloodshed.

It will be like the student massacre

at the university

But Jan, those 120 boys gave their

lives to tell the world...

that we are still Czech.

That we will always be Czech.

- Yes, I agree on that...

- At least

Shush, Beda.

Say, what is the specific gravity

of phosphorus, future brother-in-law?

I haven't the faintest idea.

You've got me there, Beda,

I don't know.

But you're a chemists, you ought

to know it by heart.

Well, Jan?

Yes, let me see now...

specific...

Uh ah, as a chemists, I only have to

know where to look it up.

You have to know it by heart,

future brother-in-law.

Jan, you have to hurry if you're

to be home before curfew.

Beda, go to the kitchen and tell Auntie

to wrap something up for Jan to eat.

With all the restaurants closed tonight,

you'll simply starve.

Well, thank you very much Mrs. Novotny.

- I'll say good night then.

- Good night, Jan.

Come.

- Tomorrow?

- Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow.

Good night, darling.

Good night.

I got your name from the florist

across the street.

Mascha, is someone there?

Perhaps, I should go?

- Mascha.

- Yes, Auntie.

No, no, there's no one.

You helped me once before,

Miss Novotny.

- Yes, but...

- Mascha!

Coming, Auntie.

Come in quick.

In here.

Put your book away, Beda,

it's almost dinner time.

Yes, mother.

Hello.
