Everyone out of the building.
Right now! That's an order!
Hurry up, comrades;
there's nothing to see here.
Comrade colonel, we have the convicted
prisoner, Oleg Penkovsky.
Here is his sentence.
- Read it before...
- That won't be necessary.
Ivanov, you won't bury me.
Good God, save me.
- Have mercy on me, a sinner.
- Into the furnace.
No! You can't! No! Ivanov, no!
God, oh God, no!
May 17, time:
23:17. Interrogation ofColonel Ryszard Kuklinski
continued after a technical break,
session 11.
Interrogated by Zygmunt Nowak.
When you began collaborating,
the Penkovsky affair
was still fresh.
He was convicted by
a court martial
in Moscow of spying for the USA
in May 1963 I think it was.
Every spy, ours or theirs,
sooner or later
is exposed and ends up
like Penkovsky.
- You knew you'd be caught too.
- Correct, I did.
We stopped at your planning
the "Shield 68" maneuvers.
In the fall of '68,
Russia wanted
to deflect the world's attention
from its clashes with China
along the Amur river.
So they decided to come up
with something even more spectacular
Large-scale maneuvers
by Warsaw Pact forces
in the German
Democratic Republic;
I worked on them day and night...
Our brilliant comrade is here.
You're another Kutuzov,
comrade major.
Not just Kutuzov. You're Kutuzov
You just forgot to give
us the names
of all the other geniuses
in the planning staff
who collaborated with you
on this project.
All their names, please...
There's nothing to give, no names.
I prepared the entire plan myself.
You did the work yourself?
The work of a dozen people?
Yes, comrade general, myself.
Well done!
But where'd you get the data
for the strategic assumptions?
- From staff officers in Berlin.
- And all the rest,
including details for tactical units,
you did that alone?
Yes, comrade.
Well done!
We'll send a congratulatory letter
to your Minister of Defense.
You're free to go,
comrade major.
Don't get up.
Now we can talk.
Maneuvers are cancelled, you know?
- What? Why?
- Because of you.
I don't understand.
You reconstructed the real plans
the Soviets have for war with NATO.
- Original ones?
- The didn't even have time
to send them to all their units,
and you presented identical ones
as a training exercise!
They're planning an offensive strike
against NATO?
They say Kulikov himself personally
worked on it for four years.
isn't exactly in accordance
with socialist military doctrine.
And you did it in three months.
Is something wrong?
So, to repulse the attack
the Americans will use weapons
of mass destruction:
- And?
They'll launch 300 warheads at us,
at the first and second attacks.
They'll destroy every Polish city
and turn Poland into one
huge f***ing Hiroshima.
Not against us, but as they'll
have to stop the Soviets...
- Everyone who should.
- Everyone?
- Do you want Comrade Wieslaw
himself to talk to the Americans
over the heads of the Soviets?
Not Comrade Wieslaw...
I could... assign you to Washington
as an attache.
We're just speculating here;
there won't be any war.
We have to trust in merciful God.
Citizen major!
- Don't forget this...
- Thank you, good night.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Have you been crying?
- How was it in Moscow?
A success... I met Kulikov.
- He's back?
- From where?
Czechoslovakia.
Yes. In Prague it's
all over for them.
- "Spring's" gone.
- Summer?
Some guy supposedly doused himself
with paint thinner,
then set himself on fire.
At the harvest festival,
and Cyrankiewicz and Gomolka saw him.
- Why would he do that?
- From shame.
That's why you were crying?
Ryszard...
If it happens here, we won't give up
like the Czechs, will we?
Dad! Is he ours?
Can we teach him to fetch?
And carry dispatches.
What'll we call him? Szarik?
Civvy. We'll call him Civvy,
right, dad?
Calm down! It's a she, and
her name is Zuza.
But can we teach him to fetch?
And play dead?
Our neighbor's dachshund knows
how to play dead.
"Her".
You heard it's a she, moron.
- You're the moron.
- Calm down!
I'll take the dog. Back to bed!
You'll be able to play with her
before you go to school.
I'll get up at six!
Or even earlier...
- With your butt pointed upward!
- Calm down. Attention!
- Fall out!
- Yes sir!
Don't salute me without a cap.
Let me have her.
She's beautiful.
- Coming to bed?
- In a while...
You needn't hurry;
I've got company.
GENERAL STAFF:
What's up? What's that pile of junk
doing by the gate?
Hi! Things are hot in Gdansk.
We're monitoring the police band.
One person's dead for sure.
What does "dead" mean? Killed?
Shot? Who did the shooting?
F***ing heroes in blue uniforms.
It wasn't us, was it?
We don't know. The 32nd mechanized
has been on alert since yesterday.
Rakowiecki went to Gdansk
yesterday.
Marian? What for?
It sure is cold.
They've got it rough up there.
...it's a scandal...
...it's probably about...
...the blood of children...
Do you understand any of this?
Turn it up.
...it's making a terrible impression...
...it needs to be cleaned up...
Vehicle commanders, fall in!
What is this?
We're in crisis, and you officers
