Jitka...

Come now.

Jitka.

- What is it?

- Someone's out there!

Stay here.

- Don't you know what time it is?

- You said to tell you immediately.

Go on then. -Janata lives with some

whore by the research institute.

- He feeds the dogs there.

- Now you're clean.

Sorry but this is important.

Asta!

What do you want?

Police. I'm looking for Janata.

- I don't know him.

- I heard he's looking after the dogs.

Like hell he is. He took

everything from me and left!

- So he doesn't live here anymore?

- You heard me, didn't you?!

- Have you reported the theft?

- Who would care? -Me.

I'm listening.

I don't want to report anything. I hope

it all rots in his pocket, the bastard.

I'm glad he's gone.

The dogs didn't like him either.

- How long did he live here?

- Since the coup in '48.

His old lady threw him out.

- Was he working here?

- No. He got everything from me.

- Do you shave often?

- He left it here.

Janata's in big trouble.

I can help him.

But I guess you really don't care

what happens to him anymore.

They came for him.

Who?

- I don't know.

- Were they wearing uniforms? -No.

- Where is he now?

- He never told me anything.

I found this.

He was always scared of guns.

OTTOVA STREE:

Don't move! Hands up!

- Let's go. Go on!

- Get the f*** inside! Go!

- Where's the money?

- Over there.

You get your hands up.

- Hands up!

- Move goddamit! -Ok.

- What are you doing?!

- They won't notice a goddamn thing.

Cut it out for f***'s sake!

"Telephone Book."

Hands up! Police!

Comrade Captain.

Who called you?

There are four dead... a driver, a

postal worker, a security guard

and Vilm Foll, known

as The Butcher.

- State Security will secure the room.

- Why? This is a police matter.

Major Zenke and Lieutenant

Benovsky are police.

Have you found anything

that might be of help?

Did I have enough time?

The Red Times!

Edmund Hillary Nears

World's Highest Mountain!

New Soviet Harvester

Outclasses All Others!

U. S. Pays Its

Israeli Murderers!

The Red Times!

I got a call from Chief of Security.

He screamed at me for half an hour.

He wanted me to suspend

you immediately.

Bare made an official complaint

about you interfering in

a State Security case.

We had an agreement you and I.

And you got caught.

- What were you doing there anyway?

- Investigating. -Did you find anything?

I didn't have time. They

arrived right after I did.

I'm supposed to be promoted

in two weeks, so be careful.

Come in.

Am I interrupting?

No, come in.

I need something

from you, Vt'a.

Where did you find that?

In a telephone book.

- Do you have authorization? -No.

- Then I can't take it from you.

So I'm authorizing it. It's important.
