Divided We Fall (Musíme si pomáhat)

Well, friends, my wife's waiting.

My dad believes it won't last longer than a few months.

We won't intrude for very long, Herr iek.

It's terrible, David.

We must be hopeful.

Herr iek.

There's jewelry in my dad's study. You know where.

Just in case.

- Do you need some help? - Hi.

This is Mr. iméek. The younger Mr. Wiener.

- Iméek. - He's my neighbor Franta.

He's a good man.

Something small for thejourney.

Well, good-bye.

- We're very sorry. - It's not your fault.

Aunt Frieda wrote that it's okay in Theresienstadt.

Children go to school.

There's an orchestra, food, even hot water.

Maybe better than squeezing in the kids' room here, eh?

Wejust don't know why she mentioned Uncle Otto's cough.

We're all getting sick now.

It's just that Uncle Otto's been dead for 15 years.

Good luck.

Nik'.!

Come here.

Herr iméek.

Oh, my God.

Mr. Wiener, what are you doing here?

I need help.

If somebody sees you, they'll execute the whole street.

I don't have a choice. I have to hide.

Good God! Get out of here!

We have children.

I 'SW!

Ajew is here!

AJew is here! Help!

DMDED WE FALL

Can't those bastards be quiet?

Bastard means a child out of wedlock...

and these are our neighbors' children.

Exactly.

I don't know what drives people to keep breeding...

and multiplying.

Must be some twisted self-preservation instinct.

Even if you could have a child, you know...

I still wouldn't bring it into this world.

But it's not like that.

Oh, please, don't believe in miracles.

- Don't pray to her for a kid. - I don't pray to her.

- Oh, you do. - I do not.

Then pray. Don't you think I know you?

You always get that holy expression.

Your eyes get moist...

and then things start happening inside.

You're nuts.

Well, and now your Nazi friend is here.

United we stand...

My friends, good morning.

- God damn yourjokes. - I've got something for you.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.

I have a surprise for you.

Shall we have some real coffeeJosef?

You shouldn't have.

You can't tell me what I should and shouldn't do.

If I can, I give. I was never stingy.

By the way, josef, I arranged papers allowing you to drive.

Thank him.

- Thank you, Mr. Prohaska. - Horst.

You're in a good mood today, aren't you?

Why not?

Don't trust Londomjosef.

Hey, I see through you, Boss.

Relax. I'm not petty, and I was in the Patriots' Club.

Come, madam. Have a look.

- Josef, you're not interested? - But, of course.

Don't say a thing-

Your head is full of Stalingrad...

and the never-ending siege of Leningrad, right?

I will straighten out your errors and illusions.

Imagine this is Moscow.

These are our armies on the eastern front.

The retreat back to Rzhev and Vyazma was a brilliant move...

by our offensive headquarters, understand?

They created an amazing maneuvering space, right?

And as spring follows winter, the fuhrer renews his forces.

And he will pound this space with all his crushing might.

And by the by, it's about 250 divisions.

And not only German.

And Bolshevism will suffer at the hands of Hungarians...

Italians, Spanish...

volunteers from France and Belgium...

and even the Slovaks.

Cigarette?

I wouldn't deprive you of 15 crowns.

Well, actually 20.

Incidentally...

a new family is moving into Wienefs villa tomorrow.

The house has been cleaned and sterilized.

It could be worse.

So tomorrow they're moving into Wiener's villa.

I hope you're not going to keep on pitying them?

He wasn'tjust our employer. He was also...

our acquaintance, wasn't he?

Careful.

He was your superior, and you were my superior. That's all.

Today my superior is Herr Kepke.

Okay, but he was a decent man, wasn't he?

He did things for you, too, didn't he?

Look, you can't expect me to show sympathy to some Yid...

or any other enemy of the Reich.

Come and have a look, madam, at this husband of yours.

He used to be the energetic boss of the sales department.

And now he's sitting here like this, sipping coffee.

Maybe you'd better start working before they notice.

Maybe you all might have found out that while...

building the border fortifications...

a transom fell and broke my leg in three places.

So for your information that means I'm disabled.

I know, a loser-A hero.

I almost forgot.

Look at this. Perfect work.

Our Leni embroidered this.

Isn't she clever?

She said it was for the uncle who always sleeps.

I have onejust like it, but...

I never have time to use it, so much work...

- What are you pretending to be? - Why, you, you sleepyhead.

And you laugh.

Come lie down.

Lie here and rot.

You're also a hero.

Goddamn it. This...

You have it in your pocket. Let me see.

Come on. I'm not a child. What about my head?

Wear this cap.

- I look like a beetle. - But it suits you.

It doesn't really matter, does it?

- Is that good-bye? - No.

It's risky, isn't it?

And all of a sudden, we understand each other.

Just a hint is enough for me.

So don't go. Who's making you?

Haven't we done enough for them?

Who knows if they'll ever come back.

- Let me. - Oh, please.

Please, I can tie my own shoelaces, huh?

I can't leave them to those Nazis.

Understand?

I made a promise, and I need to keep it.

It works.

Mr. iek-

David!

Can you take the light out of my eyes?

- What are you doing here? - I escaped from Poland.

I needed something valuable.

- But you can't stay here. - I'm off tomorrow night.

But you don't understand. You can't stay for even a minute.

Germans are coming tomorrow morning.

- And with you? - Where with us?

Oh, you mean at our place.

God, what are you doing here?

I was afraid.

- Come on. Let's go. - Who is it?

Good evening, Mrs. Marie.

David.

Let's go.

What is that?

I shit my pants. Turn it off.

Take my hand.

You wank some yam on R?

- Close the door. - I am.

You know, this is no longer exactly a safe area.

A safe place.

It's full of collaborators and finks.

You wouldn't believe...

what abnormal times can do to normal people.

The swine.

I would.

What about your family?

I don't know. They're probably dead.

You wrote that conditions in Theresienstadt were okay.

No one could write the truth from there.

It's just a transfer station...

to the camps in Poland...

and nobody there is supposed to survive.

Nobody at all.

I was lucky to work where they sort confiscated goods.

Clothes and valuables. And after 18 months I was able...

to bribe one of the SS men.

Two of us escaped.

And what do you plan to do here?

I lived here all my life...

sol thought maybe someone here might help me.

But what are you going to do now?

Tomorrow I'm meeting a friend at a set place out of town.

I promised to get some money and then we'll move on.

Well, I'll give you a lift there. I have papers.

And I have a car borrowed from...

an ex-coworker.

He worked in your warehouse.
