Silence and Cry Page #2

- I'm supposed to get changed first.

- Get changed then!

Call him out!

Another chair!

Another plate!

Eat!

Weren't you told to stay

indoors during the day?

You do it deliberately?

You'll regret it.

What you're doing...

You think I'm on the wrong

side politically, don't you?

Are you seven or eight years

younger than me?

Eight.

You were very enthusiastic, I remember.

You volunteered for the front! I didn't!

And now you're acting like this.

I think you'll end up being

killed for your obstinacy!

That's supposed to be my job, anyway.

Well, I belong somewhere, too.

And you belong to no one! Nobody!

And the women belong to me!

Pick it up!

You refuse, of course! Idealist!

It seems you leave me no choice.

All right... I don't mind at all...

Tell him to go upstairs.

Go upstairs!

Down there!

See how deep it is!

- It's icy.

- Never mind. Try it.

Go on! See how deep it is!

Go down there and look at them!

Touch them... Feel their faces!

Come up!

- How did they die?

- Bullet wounds.

I'll dictate:

Two corpses, aged about 30,

beside the wide ditch.

Visible signs of manual strangulation.

Delete that. Substitute this:

External marks:
manual strangulation.

Come here!

You, there, and you, there!

Face each other.

Touch them!

Not like that!

Open your fingers wide and touch them!

Touch everything!

The glasses, too! The wallet!

Go there!

Now touch them!

Their faces!

Once more!

You must stand in front of the camera!

Pay attention!

Hands out in front of you!

Fingers wide apart.

Left turn!

Now stand at ease!

Now pay attention.

This house is being demolished

as a punishment!

Tell everyone it could happen to them!

Tell her not to cry so loudly.

Believe me, you're very lucky.

Others have suffered much worse!

Stay with relatives

and forget about this.

Go and get your things.

What's the matter with you?

- What's this?

-I must stand in the yard.

What are the regulations?

Neat and tidy!

A clean shirt! Polished boots!

Isn't that right?

Now get ready.

- I'm tired, Sir.

- Get dressed!

No, I'm tired.

So you won't?

- You know the punishment?

- Yes.

Are you thirsty?

Yes.

Bring some water!

More water?

Come down!

What do you want?

Go and report to the police station!

They'll make you stand in the yard,

but you'll last out better.

You think I will?

What did you give him?

What is it?

They want it! Mother knows

she picked a bad son-in-law.

And Kroly knows he's a weakling.

They're both sickly.

There will be no suspicion.

Do you think I'll go through with it?

Yes.

Do you know what you're drinking?

All right! Come with me!

- Well?

- I'll make a statement.

Go there!

A man to see you.
