00:00:21,271 --> 00:00:24,148
Starting with a relatively simple idea,

2
00:00:24,274 --> 00:00:28,986
Kafka plunges us into an incoherent,
absurd and surreal world.

3
00:00:29,112 --> 00:00:31,030
The idea is this:

4
00:00:31,156 --> 00:00:35,868
Bureaucrats, the system of administration
and its power crush the individual.

5
00:00:35,994 --> 00:00:38,787
The individual becomes
a choking victim of society

6
00:00:38,913 --> 00:00:40,873
when by chance - or misfortune -

7
00:00:40,999 --> 00:00:44,877
he is drawn
towards the gear of its system.

00:00:55,180 --> 00:00:58,182
THE TRIAL

10
00:01:51,111 --> 00:01:55,239
'Before the law there stands a guard.

11
00:01:57,117 --> 00:02:02,204
'A man comes from the country,
begging admittance to the law.

12
00:02:03,206 --> 00:02:05,833
'But the guard cannot admit him.

13
00:02:05,959 --> 00:02:08,585
'Can he hope to enter at a later time?

14
00:02:08,711 --> 00:02:11,338
"'That is possible," says the guard.

15
00:02:11,464 --> 00:02:13,757
'The man tries
to peer through the entrance.

16
00:02:13,883 --> 00:02:18,720
'He had been taught that the law
should be accessible to every man.

17
00:02:18,847 --> 00:02:23,225
"'Do not attempt to enter
without my permission," says the guard.

18
00:02:23,351 --> 00:02:27,396
"'l am very powerful,
yet l am the least of all the guards.

19
00:02:27,522 --> 00:02:30,107
"'From hall to hall, door after door,

20
00:02:30,233 --> 00:02:33,485
"'each guard
is more powerful than the last."

21
00:02:34,612 --> 00:02:37,614
'By the guard's permission,
the man sits down by the side of the door

22
00:02:37,740 --> 00:02:39,783
'and there he waits.

23
00:02:43,163 --> 00:02:45,581
'For years he waits.

24
00:02:47,876 --> 00:02:50,419
'Everything he has, he gives away

25
00:02:50,545 --> 00:02:53,172
'in the hope of bribing the guard,

26
00:02:53,298 --> 00:02:56,091
'who never fails to say to him,
"l take what you give me

27
00:02:56,217 --> 00:02:59,928
"'only so you will not feel
you have left something undone."

28
00:03:01,222 --> 00:03:04,016
'Keeping his watch during the long years,

29
00:03:04,142 --> 00:03:08,770
'the man has learned to know even
the fleas in the guard's fur collar.

30
00:03:09,522 --> 00:03:12,733
'And, growing childish in old age,

31
00:03:12,859 --> 00:03:16,737
'he begs the very fleas to persuade
the guard to change his mind

32
00:03:16,863 --> 00:03:18,864
'and allow him to enter.

33
00:03:18,990 --> 00:03:22,409
'His sight is dimmed, but in the darkness
he perceives a radiance

34
00:03:22,535 --> 00:03:25,537
'streaming from the door of the law.

35
00:03:25,663 --> 00:03:28,081
'And now, before he dies,

36
00:03:28,208 --> 00:03:32,461
'all his experience condenses into one
question, a question he has never asked.

37
00:03:32,587 --> 00:03:37,591
'He beckons to the guard. Says the guard,
"You are insatiable! What is it now?"

38
00:03:37,717 --> 00:03:42,137
'Says the man,
"Every man strives to attain the law.

39
00:03:43,139 --> 00:03:48,352
"'How is it then that in all these years
no one else has ever come here

40
00:03:48,478 --> 00:03:50,479
"'seeking admittance?"

41
00:03:51,981 --> 00:03:55,400
'His hearing has failed
so the guard yells into his ear.

"'No one else but you

"'And now l am going to close it."

'This tale is told during this story
called "The Trial".

'lt has been said
that the logic of this story

49
00:04:32,397 --> 00:04:34,564
'is the logic of a dream.

00:04:35,817 --> 00:04:37,693
'Of a nightmare.'

00:04:56,629 --> 00:04:58,839
(Door handle rattles)

52
00:05:04,971 --> 00:05:06,680
Miss Burstner?

53
00:05:14,105 --> 00:05:16,148
You were expecting Miss Burstner?

54
00:05:16,274 --> 00:05:18,900
Why, no. N-No!

55
00:05:19,027 --> 00:05:21,445
What an idea! Of course not.

56
00:05:21,571 --> 00:05:23,322
You spoke her name just now.

57
00:05:24,615 --> 00:05:26,325
- When?
- When l came in.

58
00:05:26,451 --> 00:05:30,746
- You addressed me as Miss Burstner.
- Well, that's her room, you know.

59
00:05:30,872 --> 00:05:33,457
What, what,
what are you doing in there?

60
00:05:33,583 --> 00:05:35,500
W-Who are you?
What are you doing in here?

61
00:05:35,626 --> 00:05:38,837
Miss Burstner frequently
comes through that door in the night?

62
00:05:38,963 --> 00:05:43,008
No, never!
That door is kept permanently locked.

63
00:05:43,134 --> 00:05:46,219
Mrs Grubach keeps the key.
Just ask her.

64
00:05:46,346 --> 00:05:48,847
Where is she? Does she know about you?
Mrs Grubach?

65
00:05:48,973 --> 00:05:51,600
You were expecting Mrs Grubach?

66
00:05:51,726 --> 00:05:56,646
No. No. l'm not expecting anybody,
least of all you, whoever the hell you are!

67
00:05:56,773 --> 00:05:59,775
- Where are you going?
- Well, l...

68
00:05:59,901 --> 00:06:04,738
l think Mrs Grubach would like to know
there are strange people in her apartment.

69
00:06:04,864 --> 00:06:08,867
You were starting in that direction.
That's Miss Burstner's room.

70
00:06:08,993 --> 00:06:11,328
lt is. l'd like to know what's going on.

71
00:06:11,454 --> 00:06:15,290
- She isn't there now.
- Well, that's...not so very surprising.

72
00:06:15,416 --> 00:06:20,087
She gets in late sometimes.
Very late. Very late indeed.

73
00:06:21,798 --> 00:06:25,384
- You...you are the police?
- She gets in very late?

74
00:06:25,510 --> 00:06:28,345
- Don't go jumping to conclusions.
- What conclusions?

75
00:06:28,471 --> 00:06:31,973
The hours they keep in her nightclub
are no fault of hers.

76
00:06:32,100 --> 00:06:36,228
She'll be home any minute now
and can answer your questions for herself.

77
00:06:37,647 --> 00:06:41,191
- You are the police?
- What makes you think we want her?

78
00:06:41,317 --> 00:06:44,694
Oh, l have no opinion of it,
one way or another.

79
00:06:44,821 --> 00:06:46,530
lt's nothing to do with me.

80
00:06:46,656 --> 00:06:50,784
l scarcely know Miss Burstner.
Of course, we are fellow lodgers,

81
00:06:50,910 --> 00:06:55,205
but that's obvious. ls, um...
ls she in some kind of trouble?

82
00:06:55,331 --> 00:06:56,790
What kind of trouble?

83
00:06:56,916 --> 00:06:59,876
Do you imagine we came here
to see Miss Burstner?

84
00:07:00,002 --> 00:07:04,756
Well, you certainly didn't
come here to see me... did you?

85
00:07:07,844 --> 00:07:11,638
Well, listen, you don't deny anything
or affirm anything.

86
00:07:11,764 --> 00:07:15,809
You just stand there and stare at me
in the middle of my private bedroom at...

87
00:07:15,935 --> 00:07:17,936
6.14 in the morning.

88
00:07:18,855 --> 00:07:21,690
l don't see
why l should put up with it.

89
00:07:21,816 --> 00:07:25,402
- You haven't even shown me your papers.
- lsn't that for you to do?

90
00:07:25,528 --> 00:07:30,740
Oh, no. My papers - excuse me -
are in perfect order. Here, see for yourself.

91
00:07:30,867 --> 00:07:33,493
Why don't you finish getting dressed?

92
00:07:35,413 --> 00:07:38,540
For your information,
l am a man of regular habits

93
00:07:38,666 --> 00:07:42,377
and getting dressed at 6.1 5 in the morning
doesn't happen to be one of them.

94
00:07:42,503 --> 00:07:47,048
Still, l don't suppose there's any hope
of getting any more sleep.

95
00:07:47,175 --> 00:07:49,509
Where are you going?

96
00:07:49,635 --> 00:07:54,139
l take a bath in the morning,
if you must know. Why?

97
00:07:54,265 --> 00:07:56,349
lf you're reluctant
to dress in front of me...

98
00:07:56,476 --> 00:07:59,227
- And l dress in the bathroom.
- Oh?

99
00:07:59,353 --> 00:08:01,563
- Yes.
- Why?

100
00:08:01,689 --> 00:08:05,192
Well, it's warm in the bathroom
and it's cold in the hall.

101
00:08:05,318 --> 00:08:07,360
Any more questions?

102
00:08:07,487 --> 00:08:10,864
- Why would you want to dress in the hall?
- Stay here.

103
00:08:10,990 --> 00:08:14,993
- Why get dressed out in the hall?
- l don't, l don't.

104
00:08:15,119 --> 00:08:19,456
But if l did not get dressed
in the bathroom after l finished my bath,

105
00:08:19,582 --> 00:08:23,210
l'd be obliged to walk down the draughty
hall in my silk dressing robe

106
00:08:23,336 --> 00:08:28,632
right after...out of a warm tub.
l hope you understand.

107
00:08:29,300 --> 00:08:32,052
You wanted to get dressed in the hall.
Didn't you?

108
00:08:32,178 --> 00:08:34,888
- No.
- OK, have it your way, mister.

109
00:08:35,014 --> 00:08:39,684
What do you want to get dressed up for?
You're going nowhere. You're under arrest.

110
00:08:43,356 --> 00:08:47,567
- You're...making a formal charge?
- l couldn't do that, mister.

111
00:08:47,693 --> 00:08:51,988
- Exactly what is it l'm charged with?
- Take that up with the lnspector.

112
00:08:52,114 --> 00:08:56,326
- That's who just left.
- "..until called for interrogation

113
00:08:56,452 --> 00:08:59,663
- "you retired to your room."
- l'm in my room!

114
00:08:59,789 --> 00:09:03,208
- You've got a lot of real nice shirts.
- Leave those shirts alone!

115
00:09:03,334 --> 00:09:06,836
Know something? You'd do a whole lot
better to give them things to us.

116
00:09:06,963 --> 00:09:11,508
After they're impounded officially,
you won't know what happens to them.

117
00:09:11,634 --> 00:09:15,512
- There's crookedness in public auctions.
- We're your friends.

118
00:09:15,638 --> 00:09:19,349
You ought to give us
some of them shirts at least.

119
00:09:19,475 --> 00:09:24,104
lt could be a joke, l suppose.
An elaborate practical joke by my friends.

120
00:09:24,230 --> 00:09:28,233
- They're in there.
- Who's in there?

121
00:09:32,488 --> 00:09:34,656
You're from my office.

122
00:09:35,741 --> 00:09:37,951
Who brought you here?

123
00:09:38,744 --> 00:09:40,161
The police?

124
00:09:40,913 --> 00:09:43,540
These clerks from my office,
what have they got to do with it?

125
00:09:43,666 --> 00:09:48,086
Rabinstein, Kullich and Kaminer.
Right? What's this?

126
00:09:48,212 --> 00:09:52,966
That's her mother.
Leave her things alone! You especially!

127
00:09:54,552 --> 00:09:57,512
Rabinstein, what are you doing here?

128
00:09:57,638 --> 00:10:02,309
- We thought it'd be more unabusive...
- Unobstrusive.

129
00:10:02,435 --> 00:10:06,354
Unobstruse is the word
you're looking for, not unabuse.

130
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:10,609
- How can l go to the office?
- This won't keep you from working.

131
00:10:10,735 --> 00:10:14,904
- He said l'd stay in my room.
- He was reading the wrong page.

132
00:10:18,576 --> 00:10:21,995
Well, this obviously isn't anything
of any importance.

133
00:10:23,205 --> 00:10:28,168
Quite honestly, l can't remember a single
offence that could be charged against me.

134
00:10:29,253 --> 00:10:32,672
lt's obviously a mistake.
Something very trivial.

135
00:10:38,846 --> 00:10:40,889
But the real question is...

136
00:10:41,974 --> 00:10:43,558
who accuses me?

137
00:10:44,685 --> 00:10:48,772
- Well? What authority...?
- Don't you worry about that, mister!

138
00:10:49,690 --> 00:10:51,733
l'm sorry to disappoint you,

139
00:10:51,859 --> 00:10:55,362
but you won't find
any subversive literature or pornography.

140
00:10:55,488 --> 00:10:58,406
- Don't touch those record albums!
- What's this?

141
00:10:58,532 --> 00:11:02,035
- That's my pornograph...my phono...
- What's this?

142
00:11:02,161 --> 00:11:06,289
- What's what?
- A circular line with four holes.

143
00:11:06,415 --> 00:11:10,960
- No, it's not really circular. Ovular.
- Don't write that down.

144
00:11:11,087 --> 00:11:13,213
- Why not?
- Ovular(!)

145
00:11:13,339 --> 00:11:16,966
- We can't not write it down.
- Ovular isn't even a word.

146
00:11:17,093 --> 00:11:20,720
- Do you deny there's an ovular shape?
- He denies everything!

147
00:11:20,846 --> 00:11:25,684
Mrs Grubach's husband was a dentist.
There she is now! Mrs Grubach?

148
00:11:25,810 --> 00:11:27,602
Mrs Grubach.

149
00:11:28,688 --> 00:11:30,605
This was Dr Grubach's office.

150
00:11:30,731 --> 00:11:35,276
- That don't matter. She can't come in.
- The dental chair was screwed here.

151
00:11:37,446 --> 00:11:41,157
Do you want some good advice, mister?
l wouldn't want the others to hear it.

152
00:11:41,283 --> 00:11:44,327
Now you'll want money.
You've got the wrong man.

153
00:11:44,453 --> 00:11:48,289
- That's what they all say.
- Bribery. l don't believe in it.

154
00:11:48,416 --> 00:11:52,252
- Have l asked you to give me anything?
- We're leaving, mister.

155
00:11:52,378 --> 00:11:55,296
You're not going to be
one of them troublemakers, are you?

156
00:11:56,507 --> 00:12:00,009
- Mrs Grubach?
- Good morning, Mr K. Breakfast is ready.

157
00:12:00,136 --> 00:12:02,011
Ma'am, l wish you'd tell him.

158
00:12:02,138 --> 00:12:06,725
lf he really doesn't think that he's guilty,
he should keep it to himself.

159
00:12:06,851 --> 00:12:10,186
At this stage,
this makes a very lousy impression.

160
00:12:25,703 --> 00:12:29,164
- l'm afraid l owe you an apology.
- Oh, no, Mr K.

161
00:12:34,587 --> 00:12:38,006
This is not going to happen again,
l can promise you that.

162
00:12:38,132 --> 00:12:40,842
A lot of things happen in this world,
Mr K.

163
00:12:40,968 --> 00:12:45,096
- Yes.
- You're my most valued lodger, Mr K.

164
00:12:46,766 --> 00:12:49,642
- l think l owe it to you to be frank.
- By all means.

165
00:12:49,769 --> 00:12:55,064
For your own good. l really have that
at heart, perhaps more than l should.

166
00:12:55,191 --> 00:12:57,817
After all, l'm only your landlady.

167
00:12:59,779 --> 00:13:04,491
Well...l managed to have a few words
alone with that lnspector.

168
00:13:04,617 --> 00:13:05,658
And?

169
00:13:05,785 --> 00:13:10,413
- lt seems you are under arrest, Mr K.
- Yes, l know that.

170
00:13:10,539 --> 00:13:13,958
But not the way a thief's put under arrest.

171
00:13:14,084 --> 00:13:19,130
No, with your arrest,
l get the feeling of something abstract.

172
00:13:19,256 --> 00:13:22,342
lt's so abstract,
l can't consider how it applies to me!

173
00:13:22,468 --> 00:13:26,387
Of course not, Mr K.
Aren't you going to eat something?

174
00:13:26,514 --> 00:13:31,017
Coming into my room the way they did.
l simply wasn't prepared.

175
00:13:31,143 --> 00:13:34,687
Now in the office, for instance,
l'm always prepared.

176
00:13:34,814 --> 00:13:37,524
You can't just crash in on me there.

177
00:13:37,650 --> 00:13:42,362
People sometimes have to wait for weeks
even to speak to my secretary!

178
00:13:42,488 --> 00:13:44,405
No, my mistake

179
00:13:44,532 --> 00:13:48,535
was letting them start in on me
before l even had a cup of coffee.

180
00:13:48,661 --> 00:13:53,540
Coffee is always ready on the stove, Mr K.
l keep it there for Miss Burstner

181
00:13:53,666 --> 00:13:57,460
when she gets in from work.
Such ungodly hours she keeps.

182
00:13:57,586 --> 00:14:01,214
- Well, that's her profession.
- l suppose so.

183
00:14:01,340 --> 00:14:05,426
- The hours they keep are not her fault.
- Perhaps not.

184
00:14:05,553 --> 00:14:09,556
Do you think
l ought to offer those men some coffee?

185
00:14:09,682 --> 00:14:13,518
- What men?
- The ones from your office. ln there.

186
00:14:13,644 --> 00:14:16,271
ln Miss Burstner's bedroom?!

187
00:14:18,148 --> 00:14:22,068
My God, l thought you'd left.
What are you doing here?

188
00:14:23,863 --> 00:14:27,115
Rabinstein! Put those pictures back
where you found them!

189
00:14:27,241 --> 00:14:29,534
- Here's some coffee for the gentlemen.
- No!

190
00:14:29,660 --> 00:14:32,954
These people are not friends of mine.
They came with the police.

191
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:37,375
- Please show them to the door.
- Yes, Mr K. This way, gentlemen.

192
00:14:37,501 --> 00:14:40,712
What are you anyway? lnformers?

193
00:14:43,007 --> 00:14:45,008
What would you have to inform about?

194
00:14:49,722 --> 00:14:53,433
- You're still here!
- You're attracting attention, Mr K.

195
00:14:55,352 --> 00:14:57,228
Attracting attention.

196
00:14:57,354 --> 00:15:00,732
l'd appreciate the return
of my identification papers, please.

197
00:15:00,858 --> 00:15:03,902
You seriously think
that we don't know who you are?

198
00:15:04,028 --> 00:15:07,614
Really, Mr K.
You're not doing your case any good.

199
00:15:07,740 --> 00:15:11,034
- What is this case you're talking about?
- l'm not talking about it.

200
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:16,539
- Why not? Why don't you talk about it?
- lt's not for me to talk about your case.

201
00:15:16,665 --> 00:15:19,083
- lnspector...
- Yes?

202
00:15:22,421 --> 00:15:24,422
What's the charge?

203
00:15:24,548 --> 00:15:27,926
Mr K,
you aren't claiming innocence, are you?

204
00:15:29,887 --> 00:15:31,471
Naturally.

205
00:15:32,264 --> 00:15:36,559
l'm also claiming invasion of privacy
and rank abuse of basic civil rights.

206
00:15:36,685 --> 00:15:39,687
- Hold on...
- l don't know the legal terminology,

207
00:15:39,813 --> 00:15:44,651
but l can get a lawyer to help with that.
A well-known advocate is a family friend.

208
00:15:44,777 --> 00:15:47,987
- You aren't threatening a complaint?
- Yes, l am, l am!

209
00:15:48,113 --> 00:15:51,491
And a rather clumsy attempt
to work me for a bribe.

210
00:15:51,617 --> 00:15:55,286
There she comes.
Your friend, Miss Burstner.

211
00:15:56,372 --> 00:15:59,666
Well, she's not exactly my friend,
not that it's any business of yours.

212
00:15:59,792 --> 00:16:03,628
Are you going to stay all morning?
Take fingerprints?

213
00:16:03,754 --> 00:16:06,089
- We can do that at the station.
- Station?

214
00:16:06,215 --> 00:16:08,841
Where else could you register
an official complaint?

215
00:16:10,219 --> 00:16:13,805
- We can forget about that.
- lt's on the record.

216
00:16:13,931 --> 00:16:18,101
- You did use the word "threatening".
- No, that was your word.

217
00:16:18,227 --> 00:16:22,230
- What's this pornograph?
- Don't try to make anything from that!

218
00:16:22,356 --> 00:16:24,607
- Not unless you have a dirty mind.
- Excuse me.

219
00:16:24,733 --> 00:16:29,737
- No, no, y-you stay, Mrs Grubach.
- None of this will show up very well.

220
00:16:29,863 --> 00:16:33,866
My men say you even tried to stop them
from putting this down.

221
00:16:33,993 --> 00:16:37,620
l tried to stop one from making
a fool of himself. Ovular.

222
00:16:37,746 --> 00:16:40,540
- Ovular.
- There's no such word.

223
00:16:42,126 --> 00:16:45,003
Mrs Grubach's husband was a dentist.

224
00:16:46,005 --> 00:16:48,673
Now what's that got to do with your case?

225
00:16:49,508 --> 00:16:52,385
- l never said that it did.
- Then why mention such a thing?

226
00:16:52,511 --> 00:16:55,763
Simply by way of explaining that ovular...

227
00:16:55,889 --> 00:16:57,932
Ovular shape.

228
00:17:00,436 --> 00:17:02,854
You go on solemnly writing it all down.

229
00:17:02,980 --> 00:17:07,025
There has to be a record, doesn't there?
But this foolish babbling,

230
00:17:07,151 --> 00:17:11,154
it's not going to make much of
an impression, l can tell you that, Mr K.

231
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,115
lt won't look well at all. Gibberish.

232
00:17:14,241 --> 00:17:15,950
Babbling.

233
00:17:17,077 --> 00:17:20,496
l'm glad he's gone. l was worried
he might start in on Miss Burstner.

234
00:17:23,459 --> 00:17:26,294
- Oh, she's on her way up.
- Later than ever.

235
00:17:26,420 --> 00:17:29,255
Let's hope she was away
before those men came into her room.

236
00:17:29,381 --> 00:17:31,174
What time does she go?

237
00:17:31,300 --> 00:17:35,595
l believe she has to be dressed or
undressed for a performance at midnight.

238
00:17:35,721 --> 00:17:38,389
- The supper show.
- l don't know what they call it.

239
00:17:38,515 --> 00:17:40,933
- The supper show.
- l'm sure.

240
00:17:41,060 --> 00:17:45,980
- That's what they call it.
- l've never been in one of those places.

241
00:17:46,106 --> 00:17:50,943
lndeed, you may wonder why l rent my
second best room to a woman of that sort.

242
00:17:51,070 --> 00:17:53,613
- What do you mean?
- Theatricals, Mr K.

243
00:17:53,739 --> 00:17:58,618
This isn't really the place for them
as l'm sure you'll agree. l didn't know.

244
00:17:58,744 --> 00:18:03,581
She came with her mother. A perfectly
respectable woman, or so she seemed.

245
00:18:03,707 --> 00:18:06,918
And when she died, well, l...

246
00:18:07,044 --> 00:18:11,506
l'm always too soft-hearted
for my own good.

247
00:18:11,632 --> 00:18:13,341
- Mrs Grubach...
- Yes?

248
00:18:13,467 --> 00:18:15,134
What are you trying to say?

249
00:18:15,260 --> 00:18:18,846
You're hinting at something
concerning Miss Burstner.

250
00:18:18,972 --> 00:18:22,934
Well, since you ask, Mr K,
she not only performs in that place,

251
00:18:23,060 --> 00:18:25,478
but sits drinking afterwards with men.

252
00:18:25,604 --> 00:18:28,731
What l asked, Mrs Grubach, was
whether or not you were casting aspersions

253
00:18:28,857 --> 00:18:31,859
on the moral character of your own lodger.

254
00:18:31,985 --> 00:18:36,989
- Oh, Mr K, you shouldn't put it that way.
- Good night, Mrs Grubach.

255
00:18:37,116 --> 00:18:41,244
l wouldn't dream of giving her notice
without definite proof.

256
00:18:44,414 --> 00:18:47,959
You have to admit, Mr K,
it's in the interests of all my guests

257
00:18:48,085 --> 00:18:53,214
- to keep our house beyond reproach.
- Beyond reproach?!

258
00:18:54,174 --> 00:18:57,927
Mrs Grubach, if you're going to start
throwing people out of this house,

259
00:18:58,053 --> 00:19:02,306
you'd better begin with me!
Good night, Mrs Grubach.

260
00:19:02,975 --> 00:19:07,395
- You didn't understand.
- Good night, Mrs Grubach.

261
00:19:09,314 --> 00:19:12,024
- Good night, Mr K.
- Good night.

262
00:19:14,319 --> 00:19:16,320
Miss Burstner?

263
00:19:21,201 --> 00:19:22,285
Yes?

264
00:19:27,791 --> 00:19:29,792
- Mm?
- Good evening.

265
00:19:31,044 --> 00:19:33,087
Or good morning, rather.

266
00:19:33,213 --> 00:19:37,091
lf you're stuck for something to say,
try, "Happy birthday".

267
00:19:37,217 --> 00:19:40,970
Oh, is it your birthday? ls that why
you're coming home so much later?

268
00:19:41,096 --> 00:19:44,849
l didn't know you kept track
of my hours, Mr...

269
00:19:45,767 --> 00:19:47,810
Well, l didn't mean that.

270
00:19:47,936 --> 00:19:51,439
Of course, it's none of my business.
lt's nobody's business.

271
00:19:51,565 --> 00:19:54,525
That's right. Good night.

272
00:19:55,694 --> 00:19:57,528
Happy birthday.

273
00:20:14,630 --> 00:20:18,925
Oh! Oh, excuse me. Excuse me, no.
No, no...

274
00:20:24,681 --> 00:20:26,849
(Knock on door)

275
00:20:28,227 --> 00:20:29,435
Yes?

276
00:20:31,230 --> 00:20:34,023
Well, that's what l
ought to have done, naturally.

277
00:20:34,149 --> 00:20:38,569
- What ought you to have done?
- After l knocked, l should have waited.

278
00:20:38,695 --> 00:20:40,571
Come in.

279
00:20:40,697 --> 00:20:43,699
- You're not getting any funny ideas?
- Of course not.

280
00:20:43,825 --> 00:20:48,871
- Just because l knocked on your door.
- Well, that's what l mean.

281
00:20:48,997 --> 00:20:52,041
You did, didn't you? So why don't you?

282
00:20:54,544 --> 00:20:58,506
You're a nice boy,
but l'm not in the mood for it.

283
00:21:00,217 --> 00:21:03,219
lt's been a long, hard night.

284
00:21:03,345 --> 00:21:06,097
- Yes, l know.
- What do you know about it?

285
00:21:07,266 --> 00:21:10,268
- l was talking about myself.
- That's what they all do.

286
00:21:10,394 --> 00:21:14,522
What else do they ever talk about?
So give me a rest.

287
00:21:14,648 --> 00:21:18,067
- All right.
- All right what?!

288
00:21:18,193 --> 00:21:23,614
Well, l'll do whatever you say, but
if you don't talk and you won't come in...

289
00:21:23,740 --> 00:21:28,828
How can l come in? That old bag's
just dying for a chance to throw me out.

290
00:21:28,954 --> 00:21:33,332
- Throw you out? Mrs Grubach?
- She's always got one ear open.

291
00:21:36,670 --> 00:21:38,713
- (She sighs)
- What's wrong?

292
00:21:38,839 --> 00:21:40,965
l told you, l'm tired.

293
00:21:41,091 --> 00:21:42,967
l'm sorry.

294
00:21:46,555 --> 00:21:49,682
- l forgot what l wanted to ask you.
- Maybe it'll come back to you.

295
00:21:49,808 --> 00:21:55,062
Nothing ever comes back to me.
Big statement. Shut up, everybody.

296
00:21:55,188 --> 00:21:59,233
- l'm sorry.
- You're sorry. You keep saying that.

297
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,820
- Who gives a damn?
- l know. l'm s...

298
00:22:02,946 --> 00:22:07,366
- What's the big joke?
- l almost said it again. You're right.

299
00:22:07,492 --> 00:22:10,453
Nobody gives a damn. l know you don't.

300
00:22:10,579 --> 00:22:15,207
- l don't what? Hey, keep the door open!
- l was agreeing with you.

301
00:22:15,334 --> 00:22:17,877
- What you just said.
- l don't know what l just said.

302
00:22:18,003 --> 00:22:22,673
Oh, Jesus,
all that lousy national champagne.

303
00:22:22,799 --> 00:22:25,509
- You know what they make it of?
- No.

304
00:22:25,635 --> 00:22:30,056
Neither does anybody else.
No switching with the cold tea either.

305
00:22:30,182 --> 00:22:33,476
Not tonight.
The customer knew all about that one.

306
00:22:33,602 --> 00:22:36,729
He kept taking cute little sips
out of my glass

307
00:22:36,855 --> 00:22:41,484
just to make sure
l was getting myself putrefied.

308
00:22:42,361 --> 00:22:44,195
l'm sorry.

309
00:22:44,321 --> 00:22:46,697
Damn! There l go again.

310
00:22:46,823 --> 00:22:49,033
lt's never any use, is it, apologising?

311
00:22:49,159 --> 00:22:52,870
lt's even worse when you haven't done
anything wrong and still feel guilty.

312
00:22:52,996 --> 00:22:57,375
l can remember my father looking at me
straight in the eye. "Come on, boy.

313
00:22:57,501 --> 00:22:59,877
"Exactly what have you been up to?"

314
00:23:00,003 --> 00:23:04,507
Even when l hadn't been up to
anything at all, l'd still feel guilty.

315
00:23:04,633 --> 00:23:09,720
The teacher, when something was missing
from her desk. "Who's the guilty one?"

316
00:23:09,846 --> 00:23:13,766
lt was me, of course.
l'd feel just sick with guilt.

317
00:23:14,851 --> 00:23:16,894
And l didn't even know what was missing.

318
00:23:18,146 --> 00:23:20,648
Maybe...yeah, that must be it.

319
00:23:20,774 --> 00:23:24,527
Unless your thoughts are innocent, 100%.

320
00:23:27,989 --> 00:23:30,199
Can that be said of anybody?

321
00:23:31,410 --> 00:23:34,036
Even the saints have temptations.

322
00:23:42,462 --> 00:23:46,090
- What do you think?
- l think you're crazy.

323
00:23:46,216 --> 00:23:49,969
Maybe you're right. That would certainly
explain... No, l must reject that.

324
00:23:50,095 --> 00:23:53,472
l must reject everything but facts.

325
00:23:53,598 --> 00:23:56,684
l am sane. l am innocent.
l have committed no crime.

326
00:23:56,810 --> 00:24:00,521
- Three cheers for you(!)
- You don't believe me.

327
00:24:00,647 --> 00:24:05,234
- Sure l believe you.
- Be honest. What do you really think?

328
00:24:05,360 --> 00:24:09,196
- You've been out some place.
- Drinking, you mean?

329
00:24:09,322 --> 00:24:11,740
ls that what you think? l'm drunk?!

330
00:24:11,867 --> 00:24:16,620
Next time, come to my place.
l get a percentage on every bottle.

331
00:24:16,746 --> 00:24:21,667
l have not left this apartment since
l got back from the office last night.

332
00:24:21,793 --> 00:24:25,588
- And l am not a solitary drinker.
- Then what's your problem?

333
00:24:26,423 --> 00:24:28,132
l'm under arrest.

334
00:24:28,258 --> 00:24:30,926
- Yeah?
- Unbelievable, isn't it?

335
00:24:31,052 --> 00:24:34,889
- Well, it happens.
- l don't know how it happens!

336
00:24:35,015 --> 00:24:39,143
How do you know you're arrested? lt isn't
something you notice, like bleeding gums.

337
00:24:39,269 --> 00:24:43,522
- They woke me up and told me.
- Are you sure you were awake?

338
00:24:43,648 --> 00:24:46,066
Yeah, just look at those photographs.

339
00:24:47,068 --> 00:24:52,448
lt's my mother in different poses.
Burstner's Birds. A real good act.

340
00:24:52,574 --> 00:24:56,118
Let's leave my mother out of it.
Do you mind? No offence.

341
00:24:56,244 --> 00:24:58,829
- What did they get you for?
- l wouldn't say they got me.

342
00:24:58,955 --> 00:25:01,665
- They arrested you.
- That's what they told me.

343
00:25:01,791 --> 00:25:04,210
- What's the charge?
- That's what they didn't tell me.

344
00:25:04,336 --> 00:25:08,214
All l know is l'm supposed to appear
before some interrogation commission.

345
00:25:08,340 --> 00:25:11,050
- That's only for serious crimes.
- That's what l thought!

346
00:25:11,176 --> 00:25:14,929
- Did they tell you it wasn't serious?
- No, they didn't say that.

347
00:25:15,055 --> 00:25:19,058
- Maybe it's a gag or something.
- That thought occurred to me at first.

348
00:25:19,184 --> 00:25:23,437
Some of the fellas at the office.
Some sort of elaborate practical joke.

349
00:25:23,563 --> 00:25:26,941
But l didn't really believe that.
l just wanted to.

350
00:25:27,067 --> 00:25:30,861
lt's awful
how easy it is to get demoralised.

351
00:25:32,155 --> 00:25:34,281
Well, of course, that's what they want.

352
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:38,827
That's what they're counting on.
l'm not such a fool that l...

353
00:25:38,954 --> 00:25:42,915
- You must have done something.
- Oh, don't you say that!

354
00:25:43,041 --> 00:25:45,251
Or somebody's been telling lies about you.

355
00:25:45,377 --> 00:25:49,046
Rumours always fly around for no reason.
At the office.

356
00:25:49,172 --> 00:25:53,175
- What kind of rumours?
- You mean in my case?

357
00:25:53,301 --> 00:25:58,514
- That's it. l haven't the faintest idea!
- Jesus! l hope it isn't political!

358
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:02,101
- Oh, no, nothing like that.
- Politics! Don't drag me into it!

359
00:26:02,227 --> 00:26:06,981
- They were just talking in circles.
- lt's not my fault! l don't want to talk.

360
00:26:07,107 --> 00:26:09,817
- What are you doing in here?
- You invited me.

361
00:26:09,943 --> 00:26:12,278
- That's what you say!
- Please...

362
00:26:12,404 --> 00:26:17,032
Please what? Listen, if you're in trouble
l'm sorry, real sorry.

363
00:26:17,158 --> 00:26:20,995
- But keep me out of it.
- l did! l am. l told them,

364
00:26:21,121 --> 00:26:25,958
but they wouldn't listen. Then when they
messed with your mother's photographs...!

365
00:26:26,084 --> 00:26:30,504
What?! Who's been messing around
with my mother's photographs?

366
00:26:30,630 --> 00:26:32,840
Rabinstein, l think it was.

367
00:26:35,594 --> 00:26:37,344
But also the police.

368
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,765
- The police?
- That's what l've been telling you.

369
00:26:41,891 --> 00:26:43,267
- Miss...
- Get out!

370
00:26:43,393 --> 00:26:45,060
- Get out of here!
- Please!

371
00:26:45,186 --> 00:26:50,107
- Get out and leave me alone!
- What will the other lodgers think?

372
00:26:50,233 --> 00:26:53,319
- Get the hell out of my room!
- l'm out!

373
00:27:02,537 --> 00:27:04,747
(Typewriters clack)

374
00:27:22,140 --> 00:27:24,516
- Mr K...
- l'll see people in a minute.

375
00:27:24,643 --> 00:27:28,854
The Deputy Manager was looking for you.
And your cousin's here.

376
00:27:29,606 --> 00:27:32,816
My cousin?
She's not supposed to come to the office.

377
00:27:32,942 --> 00:27:35,694
She said it was serious.

378
00:27:39,616 --> 00:27:42,618
- K.
- Oh, good morning, sir.

379
00:27:42,744 --> 00:27:45,579
l was just arranging a birthday surprise.

380
00:27:45,705 --> 00:27:47,539
ln here? ln this broom closet?

381
00:27:47,666 --> 00:27:51,710
Well, l have this, this birthday cake
for one of my fellow lodgers.

382
00:27:51,836 --> 00:27:56,674
- l didn't think l should carry it.
- Who is she?

383
00:27:56,800 --> 00:28:01,553
lf l'd only known about this lady before,
she'd have been included for tonight.

384
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:04,807
- The theatre tickets are all booked.
- Oh, l know, l know.

385
00:28:04,933 --> 00:28:07,851
She'll understand l hope, the girl.

386
00:28:07,977 --> 00:28:12,481
The cake is actually
by way of being a peace offering.

387
00:28:12,607 --> 00:28:16,944
lf she doesn't take it in the right
spirit, K, she's not the girl for you.

388
00:28:17,070 --> 00:28:18,570
Who's that?

389
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,867
That... That's my cousin lrmie.
What's she doing here?

390
00:28:23,993 --> 00:28:27,621
- Your cousin?
- Yes, from the city. Going to school...

391
00:28:27,747 --> 00:28:31,583
From the country,
going to school in the city.

392
00:28:31,710 --> 00:28:34,336
We'll have to keep an eye on you, old man.

393
00:28:35,296 --> 00:28:38,048
- She looks pretty young.
- Yes, sir.

394
00:28:38,174 --> 00:28:40,843
There's a place for everything, right, K?

395
00:28:40,969 --> 00:28:44,972
Oh, she's never dared to come into the
office before. l can assure you of that.

396
00:28:45,098 --> 00:28:50,185
You're a bright young man. On the way up.
Don't spoil things for yourself.

397
00:28:50,311 --> 00:28:53,063
- No.
- How old is she?

398
00:28:53,189 --> 00:28:58,444
- What? lrmie? She...
- She can't be more than 16. lf that.

399
00:28:58,570 --> 00:29:02,239
- Yeah.
- My God.

400
00:29:02,365 --> 00:29:06,368
- Mr K, the young lady...
- Get her out of here!

401
00:29:06,494 --> 00:29:11,707
- But she said that it's urgent.
- l don't care. Just get her out of here.

402
00:29:17,464 --> 00:29:19,673
(Typewriters clack)

403
00:29:23,970 --> 00:29:25,888
(Dog howls)

404
00:29:31,186 --> 00:29:33,979
- lsn't that Miss Burstner's trunk?
- And what if it is?

405
00:29:34,105 --> 00:29:38,192
l thought l recognised it.
You take the birthday cake.

406
00:29:38,318 --> 00:29:43,155
- l have quite enough on my hands.
- That's what l mean. Let me help you.

407
00:29:43,281 --> 00:29:44,948
- No, thank you.
- Please...

408
00:29:45,074 --> 00:29:48,243
- No, thank you.
- Let me call you a cab.

409
00:29:48,369 --> 00:29:50,871
Not everyone can afford taxi cabs, Mr K.

410
00:29:50,997 --> 00:29:53,582
Oh, you know my name?

411
00:29:53,708 --> 00:29:57,920
Excuse me, you are a friend of hers?
Could you tell me if she's home?

412
00:29:58,046 --> 00:30:01,715
lf by "home" you refer
to Mrs Grubach's establishment,

413
00:30:01,841 --> 00:30:04,051
the answer to your question is no.

414
00:30:04,177 --> 00:30:07,429
Marika has a home,
but not at Mrs Grubach's.

415
00:30:07,555 --> 00:30:09,807
- Marika?
- Pardon?

416
00:30:10,642 --> 00:30:12,309
l never knew her first name.

417
00:30:12,435 --> 00:30:16,522
- How ironic.
- She has a home? Another home?

418
00:30:16,648 --> 00:30:18,857
She has one now, luckily.

419
00:30:20,026 --> 00:30:24,238
- l wish you'd let me help you with that.
- lt's extremely heavy!

420
00:30:24,364 --> 00:30:27,115
l'll take it to her myself, thank you.

421
00:30:27,242 --> 00:30:31,662
- Take it to her? To where?
- l hope you don't intend to follow me.

422
00:30:31,788 --> 00:30:35,624
- No, not at all.
- You've been dogging my footsteps.

423
00:30:35,750 --> 00:30:38,919
Well, l hate to see a woman dragging
a great heavy trunk.

424
00:30:39,045 --> 00:30:43,382
- Especially with a physical disability?
- No, not at all.

425
00:30:43,508 --> 00:30:46,051
Since you find the spectacle
so unpleasant,

426
00:30:46,177 --> 00:30:48,345
why not spare your feelings

427
00:30:48,471 --> 00:30:52,224
and remove yourself
from the cause of your distress?

428
00:30:52,350 --> 00:30:54,268
l'm sorry.

429
00:30:55,562 --> 00:30:58,188
Listen, the last thing l want
is to annoy you, but...

430
00:30:58,314 --> 00:31:02,359
l would like very much to know
if Miss Burstner is moving

431
00:31:02,485 --> 00:31:05,404
or planning to move
and, if so, where to?

432
00:31:05,530 --> 00:31:10,117
- Anything else?
- Yes, well, l'd like to know why.

433
00:31:10,243 --> 00:31:14,663
And you have the unmitigated gall
to pretend you don't know.

434
00:31:14,789 --> 00:31:17,916
Well, no, how could l?
l-l've just got home.

435
00:31:18,042 --> 00:31:20,252
She didn't seem to be planning to move.

436
00:31:20,378 --> 00:31:24,840
She wasn't, Mr K.
lt came as a very nasty surprise.

437
00:31:24,966 --> 00:31:28,594
You make it sound
as if l were responsible.

438
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:32,806
- You pretend it's nothing to do with you?
- l don't pretend anything!

439
00:31:32,932 --> 00:31:35,642
All we did was talk. l did kiss her.

440
00:31:35,768 --> 00:31:40,188
l hope you're not trying to tell me
that because l kissed her

441
00:31:40,315 --> 00:31:42,816
she's changing her address?!

442
00:31:42,942 --> 00:31:47,905
l mean, after all, she's a woman
of the world. She works in a nightclub.

443
00:31:48,031 --> 00:31:50,449
What are you insinuating?

444
00:31:50,575 --> 00:31:55,287
Well, nothing, but you have to admit
she's a grown woman, not a minor.

445
00:31:56,539 --> 00:31:58,624
Somebody must have kissed her before.

446
00:31:58,750 --> 00:32:02,878
Do you think this is a topic
to be shouted through the public streets?

447
00:32:03,004 --> 00:32:06,006
- Hell! HELL!
- There is no need to curse.

448
00:32:06,132 --> 00:32:10,510
Why am l always in the wrong without even
knowing what for or what it's all about?

449
00:32:10,637 --> 00:32:13,597
That's not something
l'm prepared to discuss, Mr K.

450
00:32:13,723 --> 00:32:15,557
Examine your conscience.

451
00:32:15,683 --> 00:32:18,894
There's nothing wrong
with my conscience, thank you.

452
00:32:19,020 --> 00:32:23,982
Marika has stayed with Mrs Grubach
longer than you have. Don't forget that.

453
00:32:24,108 --> 00:32:26,068
She was very fond of that room.

454
00:32:26,194 --> 00:32:29,738
My poor little room is dark and damp
and poorly heated.

455
00:32:29,864 --> 00:32:34,451
- She won't be nearly as comfortable!
- Then why move, for God's sake?!

456
00:32:34,577 --> 00:32:38,580
l'm a woman and a cripple,
but l don't need to stand for your abuse.

457
00:32:40,166 --> 00:32:43,168
Go scream at that Grubach woman!

458
00:32:43,294 --> 00:32:45,671
Wait a minute. You don't mean...?

459
00:32:47,006 --> 00:32:48,924
Oh, hell, it's late.

460
00:32:50,009 --> 00:32:53,053
l'll never get dressed for the theatre.
First, you've got to tell me the truth.

461
00:32:53,179 --> 00:32:56,348
Did Mrs Grubach ask her to leave?

462
00:32:56,474 --> 00:32:59,226
She did make a few uncalled-for remarks
about Miss Burstner.

463
00:32:59,352 --> 00:33:04,106
l took exception to them.
l told Mrs Grubach she was out of line.

464
00:33:04,232 --> 00:33:08,652
- Out of line, indeed(!)
- You mean she just threw her out?

465
00:33:11,948 --> 00:33:14,282
Then l guess l am responsible.

466
00:33:15,159 --> 00:33:16,451
Listen, Miss...

467
00:33:16,577 --> 00:33:18,704
Er, Mrs...

468
00:33:23,042 --> 00:33:25,043
(Dramatic overture)

469
00:33:35,638 --> 00:33:40,058
(Whispers) Excuse me, sir.
Excuse me. l have a note here for you.

470
00:33:40,184 --> 00:33:44,396
Yes, it's for you.
They passed it down.

471
00:34:11,591 --> 00:34:12,883
Mr K.

472
00:34:18,723 --> 00:34:20,474
Come with me, Mr K.

473
00:34:37,658 --> 00:34:41,203
We're making every reasonable effort
to keep from interfering unnecessarily

474
00:34:41,329 --> 00:34:44,581
with the normal pattern of your life.

475
00:34:46,167 --> 00:34:47,667
For instance,

476
00:34:47,794 --> 00:34:51,963
so you wouldn't have to request
special leave of absence from your office,

477
00:34:52,090 --> 00:34:55,467
we've arranged
to fit in these interrogations

478
00:34:55,593 --> 00:34:58,261
outside your normal working hours.

479
00:35:02,725 --> 00:35:04,726
Step into the light, Mr K.

480
00:35:06,062 --> 00:35:07,771
Who are they?

481
00:35:07,897 --> 00:35:11,316
l can't expect you to know where
the lnterrogation Commission is sitting.

482
00:35:11,442 --> 00:35:13,819
That's right. l don't.

483
00:35:15,279 --> 00:35:19,908
l filled this out in your name and
so you won't get lost l've drawn a map.

484
00:35:20,034 --> 00:35:21,118
Thanks.

485
00:35:21,244 --> 00:35:25,330
- Present that immediately on arrival.
- And when is that?

486
00:35:25,456 --> 00:35:27,165
- lmmediately.
- Tonight?

487
00:35:27,291 --> 00:35:30,585
l hope you won't have
too much trouble locating it.

488
00:35:30,711 --> 00:35:34,714
- lf l do, these two can set me straight.
- What exactly do you mean?

489
00:35:34,841 --> 00:35:39,427
Aren't they supposed to trail around
after me, observing my movements?

490
00:35:40,638 --> 00:35:43,181
No, they aren't going to follow you.

491
00:35:43,307 --> 00:35:45,600
That isn't their job.

492
00:37:01,802 --> 00:37:03,637
Go right in there.

493
00:37:08,476 --> 00:37:11,394
(Loud murmurings)

494
00:37:12,230 --> 00:37:16,149
l'd better close the doors after you.
Nobody else must come in.

495
00:37:27,703 --> 00:37:32,874
(Judge) You should have been here
one hour and five minutes ago!

496
00:37:33,876 --> 00:37:36,920
These delays must not occur again.

497
00:37:37,046 --> 00:37:38,713
Please step up.

498
00:37:52,061 --> 00:37:55,605
- You are a housepainter?
- No.

499
00:37:59,485 --> 00:38:03,530
The question from the Examining Magistrate
about my being a housepainter is typical

500
00:38:03,656 --> 00:38:07,242
of this so-called trial
that's being foisted upon me.

501
00:38:08,452 --> 00:38:12,789
Why, the very notebook of the Examining
Magistrate confirms what l say!

502
00:38:12,915 --> 00:38:17,585
These are
the Examining Magistrate's records!

503
00:38:17,712 --> 00:38:20,880
What's happening to me
is of no great importance,

504
00:38:21,007 --> 00:38:26,177
but it is representative of what is
happening to a great many other people.

505
00:38:28,014 --> 00:38:31,891
And it is for these others that l take
my stand here, not for myself alone.

506
00:38:32,018 --> 00:38:34,477
(Man) That's it, boy! Give them hell!

507
00:38:34,603 --> 00:38:37,772
l have been arrested and perhaps,
considering the opening statement,

508
00:38:37,898 --> 00:38:43,153
perhaps they had orders to arrest
some housepainter as innocent as l am!

509
00:38:43,279 --> 00:38:46,031
They tried to get me to bribe them,

510
00:38:46,157 --> 00:38:50,160
to steal my clothes and shirts from me!
l managed to keep calm.

511
00:38:50,286 --> 00:38:52,912
l asked them very simply
why l was arrested.

512
00:38:53,039 --> 00:38:55,999
And what was the answer
of your self-styled lnspector?

513
00:38:56,125 --> 00:38:58,543
lf he were here,
he would have to back me up in this.

514
00:38:58,669 --> 00:39:03,423
He answered, in effect, nothing at all.
He'd arrested me. That was enough.

515
00:39:04,175 --> 00:39:07,635
l notice your Examining Magistrate
has just given some of you a secret sign.

516
00:39:07,762 --> 00:39:11,973
l don't know if it was meant to be
a signal for applause or hissing,

517
00:39:12,099 --> 00:39:17,228
but l hereby publicly empower him
to address his hired agents out loud!

518
00:39:17,355 --> 00:39:19,689
Let him say hiss now or clap now!

519
00:39:20,608 --> 00:39:24,027
Can there be any doubt
that behind my arrest

520
00:39:24,153 --> 00:39:27,572
a vast organisation is at work,

521
00:39:27,698 --> 00:39:32,243
an establishment which contains a retinue
of civil servants, officers, police,

522
00:39:32,370 --> 00:39:34,579
perhaps even hangmen!

523
00:39:49,261 --> 00:39:54,474
l notice you all have the same badge, so
every damn one's an official of some kind.

524
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:58,395
That means you've all come rushing here
to nose out what you can about me.

525
00:39:58,521 --> 00:40:02,732
Half of you clapped just to lead me on!
Get out of my way!

526
00:40:02,858 --> 00:40:06,236
Maybe you wanted some practice
in fooling an innocent man.

527
00:40:06,362 --> 00:40:10,782
Perhaps you found some amusement
in my expecting an interest in justice!

528
00:40:12,118 --> 00:40:15,620
One moment!
l merely wish to point out that tonight

529
00:40:15,746 --> 00:40:19,040
you have thrown away with your own hand
all the advantages

530
00:40:19,166 --> 00:40:23,044
which an interrogation confers
on an accused man.

531
00:40:23,170 --> 00:40:25,171
Just you wait.

532
00:40:26,757 --> 00:40:28,758
(Doors clang)

533
00:40:43,482 --> 00:40:45,859
(A man groans)

534
00:40:45,985 --> 00:40:49,195
'Oh... Oh, no...

535
00:40:49,321 --> 00:40:50,864
'No...'

536
00:41:08,340 --> 00:41:10,341
(Man groans)

537
00:41:23,397 --> 00:41:26,024
- Sir!
- What are you doing here?

538
00:41:26,150 --> 00:41:30,028
- We're going to be flogged.
- You what?!

539
00:41:30,154 --> 00:41:35,158
- lt's all because of you, mister.
- Your fault. You told the authorities.

540
00:41:35,284 --> 00:41:39,287
- You accused us of corruption.
- You lodged a complaint.

541
00:41:39,413 --> 00:41:43,917
- l only mentioned to the lnspector...
- And to the Examining Magistrate.

542
00:41:44,043 --> 00:41:46,419
- Accused us of soliciting for bribes.
- Well...

543
00:41:46,545 --> 00:41:49,464
lf you knew what we have to live on!

544
00:41:49,590 --> 00:41:55,386
- l've got a family to feed.
- lt's custom to get the prisoner's linen.

545
00:41:55,513 --> 00:41:59,224
- What difference can a few shirts make?
- Nothing!

546
00:41:59,350 --> 00:42:02,560
Nothing at all!
But still you had to denounce us.

547
00:42:02,686 --> 00:42:06,689
lt wasn't anything personal.
l was defending a principle.

548
00:42:06,815 --> 00:42:09,651
- l told you...
- Shut up!

549
00:42:13,364 --> 00:42:14,864
No!

550
00:42:14,990 --> 00:42:18,660
Even with a few shirts
if the authorities had found out

551
00:42:18,786 --> 00:42:22,747
nothing would have happened
if you hadn't denounced!

552
00:42:22,873 --> 00:42:26,876
- lt's because of YOU!
- What kind of justice do you call that?

553
00:42:27,002 --> 00:42:30,213
We've all got clean records.
Me, especially.

554
00:42:30,339 --> 00:42:35,385
Take him. lf anyone complained about him,
would he be where he is now?

555
00:42:35,511 --> 00:42:38,221
- lmagine how painful it is...
- You two, strip.

556
00:42:38,347 --> 00:42:40,765
l have to take off my clothes!

557
00:42:40,891 --> 00:42:43,518
- Look...
- What do you want?

558
00:42:43,644 --> 00:42:47,897
lf...if you could see your way through
to letting them off, l'd appreciate it.

559
00:42:48,023 --> 00:42:51,234
What are you trying to do?
You'll complain against me?

560
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:53,820
No, l haven't lodged any complaint.

561
00:42:53,946 --> 00:42:59,450
lf l wanted those men to be punished,
l could leave right now, close the door

562
00:42:59,577 --> 00:43:03,955
and forget about the whole thing,
but they're not to blame.

563
00:43:04,081 --> 00:43:08,876
lt's the people above them,
the authorities, the whole organisation.

564
00:43:09,003 --> 00:43:13,298
lf it were one of the high judges,
l'd even pay extra to encourage it.

565
00:43:13,424 --> 00:43:15,758
l don't take bribes in any circumstances.

566
00:43:15,884 --> 00:43:19,721
Please, please.
Please, please, try to get me off.

567
00:43:19,847 --> 00:43:22,348
Frank's older than l am.
His nerves are better.

568
00:43:22,474 --> 00:43:24,267
He's been punished before.

569
00:43:24,393 --> 00:43:26,436
l won't wait any longer!

570
00:43:28,272 --> 00:43:32,525
He won't give you any trouble.
He knows better.

571
00:43:40,159 --> 00:43:41,284
Aah!

572
00:43:42,536 --> 00:43:45,496
Don't leave me! Don't...!

573
00:43:47,625 --> 00:43:51,002
Please... Don't go! Don't go!

574
00:44:12,066 --> 00:44:14,609
- Mr K!
- What...?

575
00:44:14,735 --> 00:44:18,237
There's a man in your office.
He says he's your uncle Max.

576
00:44:18,364 --> 00:44:20,782
(Typewriters clack)

577
00:44:44,056 --> 00:44:45,890
Uncle Max?

578
00:44:49,561 --> 00:44:53,356
- Well, my boy.
- What brings you into town?

579
00:44:53,482 --> 00:44:55,149
Josef...

580
00:44:56,694 --> 00:44:58,695
..is it true?

581
00:45:00,906 --> 00:45:04,534
Yes, it's...
Yes, it's true enough, l'm afraid.

582
00:45:04,660 --> 00:45:06,869
And you're under arrest?

583
00:45:07,996 --> 00:45:10,331
Please, Uncle Max.
We'll talk about it later.

584
00:45:10,457 --> 00:45:14,752
Very well, then.
Just go ahead with your work, my boy.

585
00:45:24,430 --> 00:45:26,180
Don't mind me.

586
00:45:39,737 --> 00:45:43,156
- lt's not a criminal case, is it?
- lt is.

587
00:45:44,283 --> 00:45:46,242
Well?

588
00:45:46,368 --> 00:45:47,952
That's...

589
00:45:48,912 --> 00:45:50,538
That's what they tell me.

590
00:45:50,664 --> 00:45:52,832
And you just coolly sit here?!

591
00:46:00,591 --> 00:46:03,176
- lf you won't think of yourself...
- What?

592
00:46:03,302 --> 00:46:07,722
lf you won't think of yourself,
think of the family, our good name.

593
00:46:11,643 --> 00:46:14,604
How did you...find out about it?

594
00:46:15,689 --> 00:46:18,191
lrmie called me
on the long-distance telephone.

595
00:46:18,317 --> 00:46:20,276
- lrmie.
- Yes! Poor little lrmie,

596
00:46:20,402 --> 00:46:23,112
who you wouldn't so much as receive here!

597
00:46:24,448 --> 00:46:29,452
l can't hold lengthy conversations
with family relatives

598
00:46:30,245 --> 00:46:31,996
during working hours.

599
00:46:33,540 --> 00:46:37,376
- l suppose that applies to me, too.
- Oh, Uncle Max...

600
00:46:37,503 --> 00:46:42,882
My only thought when l made this long,
exhausting trip was to help you, but no...

601
00:46:46,345 --> 00:46:48,137
You don't even want to see me.

602
00:46:48,263 --> 00:46:51,432
Yes, of course l do, but...

603
00:46:51,558 --> 00:46:54,936
you must realise how difficult it is...

604
00:46:57,231 --> 00:46:59,106
during working hours.

605
00:47:04,822 --> 00:47:09,116
Well, it looks to me as though
your working hours are over, Josef.

606
00:47:10,202 --> 00:47:12,203
Come on.

607
00:47:12,329 --> 00:47:13,746
After all, Josef,

608
00:47:13,872 --> 00:47:18,751
l'm the nearest thing to a parent
and a father that you can lay claim to.

609
00:47:18,877 --> 00:47:22,171
Oh, l don't forget it, Uncle Max,
believe me.

610
00:47:34,142 --> 00:47:36,686
We've got to get
some competent legal advice, Josef.

611
00:47:36,812 --> 00:47:39,397
Things like this don't happen
right out of the blue.

612
00:47:39,523 --> 00:47:42,149
- ln a criminal case...
- Please, Uncle Max. People are listening.

613
00:47:42,276 --> 00:47:46,279
- What's that up there?
- The computer.

614
00:47:50,784 --> 00:47:54,328
One of those electronic gimmicks?
That can give you the answer to anything?

615
00:47:54,454 --> 00:47:55,663
Yes.

616
00:47:57,833 --> 00:47:59,792
- Well...
- Well what?

617
00:47:59,918 --> 00:48:04,046
You want to know about your case,
don't you? Ask the machine!

618
00:48:04,172 --> 00:48:08,885
- lt wouldn't be allowed.
- These things can always be arranged.

619
00:48:09,011 --> 00:48:10,720
What would l ask?

620
00:48:12,097 --> 00:48:15,391
Uncle Max, l...l don't even know
what l'm charged with.

621
00:48:15,517 --> 00:48:20,521
Well, that's one question. The brain thing
ought to be able to figure it out.

622
00:48:20,647 --> 00:48:24,942
Well, she'd need the data -
economic, sociological, psychological.

623
00:48:25,068 --> 00:48:29,405
Still, she might be able to handle it.
She processes personality tests.

624
00:48:29,531 --> 00:48:33,242
An awful lot of material
would have to be fed to her.

625
00:48:33,368 --> 00:48:36,495
- lt's a she?
- That's the way the experts talk.

626
00:48:36,622 --> 00:48:40,583
l see. Like for a car or a boat.
Kind of affectionate.

627
00:48:40,709 --> 00:48:45,212
- Respect, really. More than that.
- Love? Terror?

628
00:48:45,964 --> 00:48:49,050
- l don't know.
- lf she's a woman, l'd be careful.

629
00:48:50,260 --> 00:48:52,428
(Man cries out)

630
00:48:53,221 --> 00:48:54,972
W-Wait, wait a minute.

631
00:48:58,685 --> 00:49:03,022
lt's a... lt must be a dog somewhere.
lt's the little dog in the courtyard.

632
00:49:08,195 --> 00:49:11,530
He's putting adhesive tape over our
mouths. You won't hear any screaming.

633
00:49:15,619 --> 00:49:17,536
(Muffled speech)

634
00:49:31,843 --> 00:49:35,012
This gentleman says he's in charge
of the electronic brain.

635
00:49:35,138 --> 00:49:38,432
- Not in charge...
- One of the technical experts, anyway.

636
00:49:38,558 --> 00:49:42,520
You talk about data and facts.
Crime is a fact.

637
00:49:42,646 --> 00:49:46,899
- Suppose l committed a crime...
- Uncle Max, these men are extremely busy.

638
00:49:47,025 --> 00:49:48,818
lt seems they work in shifts.

639
00:49:48,944 --> 00:49:53,698
- After 1 1 , they could show you around.
- That's all right. Thank you. Come on.

640
00:49:53,824 --> 00:49:55,408
l agree with you, Josef.

641
00:49:55,534 --> 00:50:00,121
All these fancy electronics, they're all right,
but not for anything practical.

642
00:50:00,247 --> 00:50:01,998
Please!

643
00:50:02,124 --> 00:50:05,960
You can't diddle your way out of
a criminal charge with an adding machine.

644
00:50:06,628 --> 00:50:08,963
(lmpatient knocking)

645
00:50:11,341 --> 00:50:14,385
Open up! We're friends of the Advocate.

646
00:50:14,511 --> 00:50:16,721
We've got to see him
on very important business.

647
00:50:16,847 --> 00:50:19,473
l don't care how busy he is.

648
00:50:25,439 --> 00:50:27,314
K is the name. Announce us, will you?

649
00:50:27,441 --> 00:50:31,110
She doesn't look like a maid to me.
More like a nurse.

650
00:50:31,236 --> 00:50:35,865
- The Advocate is ill.
- lll? You say he's ill? His heart again?

651
00:50:35,991 --> 00:50:37,533
He never was too healthy.

652
00:50:38,285 --> 00:50:41,245
This may be a strange hour
to pay a professional call,

653
00:50:41,371 --> 00:50:43,873
but old Hastler isn't going to
hold that against me.

654
00:50:43,999 --> 00:50:46,208
We were at school together.

655
00:50:46,334 --> 00:50:49,045
He's had quite a reputation in his time.

656
00:50:51,173 --> 00:50:53,841
- (Advocate) Leni?
- No, it's Max.

657
00:50:53,967 --> 00:50:59,055
l told you, l'm too ill for visitors!
Don't let these people in.

658
00:50:59,181 --> 00:51:03,184
- Go away!
- Albert, don't you remember me?

659
00:51:03,310 --> 00:51:05,436
lt's your old friend, Max.

660
00:51:05,562 --> 00:51:09,940
- Who's that with you?
- Albert, what's wrong? Had...?

661
00:51:12,527 --> 00:51:16,072
Had another of your attacks?
Don't worry. You always get over them.

662
00:51:16,198 --> 00:51:21,202
Are they looking after you properly?
lt's terribly gloomy. No lights.

663
00:51:21,328 --> 00:51:25,498
Power failure, of course.
And what about this nurse of yours, eh?

664
00:51:25,624 --> 00:51:28,292
Mm, Leni?

665
00:51:28,418 --> 00:51:32,546
Leni's a good girl.
A very good girl indeed.

666
00:51:33,590 --> 00:51:37,343
Leni takes excellent care of me.
Don't you, darling?

667
00:51:37,469 --> 00:51:42,348
Miss, be kind enough to leave us alone.
l must speak to the Advocate.

668
00:51:42,474 --> 00:51:46,936
- He's ill. You can't talk business now.
-(Max) You damn little... Miss!

669
00:51:50,107 --> 00:51:54,151
We could discuss anything
in front of Leni.

670
00:51:54,277 --> 00:51:56,320
- Ssh!
- Leni, Leni...

671
00:51:56,446 --> 00:52:00,950
- This doesn't concern myself.
- Whom does it concern?

672
00:52:01,076 --> 00:52:03,702
My nephew. l've brought him here with me.

673
00:52:03,829 --> 00:52:05,955
Josef K.

674
00:52:06,081 --> 00:52:07,289
Who?

675
00:52:11,586 --> 00:52:13,420
Josef K?

676
00:52:14,422 --> 00:52:16,757
l didn't notice you. So...

677
00:52:16,883 --> 00:52:20,636
So you came to see me about this case?
That's good.

678
00:52:20,762 --> 00:52:25,182
- lt's a most interesting affair.
- Careful now, Josef.

679
00:52:25,308 --> 00:52:27,935
- You know about my case already?
- How's that?

680
00:52:29,062 --> 00:52:30,521
l...

681
00:52:31,231 --> 00:52:33,023
l don't understand.

682
00:52:34,609 --> 00:52:36,735
l'm the one that doesn't understand.

683
00:52:36,862 --> 00:52:40,030
lt is your case, isn't it,
that you want to consult me about?

684
00:52:40,157 --> 00:52:45,452
- Of course it is!
- Advocate Hastler has heard of my case.

685
00:52:45,579 --> 00:52:50,416
Oh, in the circles l move in, all sorts
of different cases come up for discussion.

686
00:52:50,542 --> 00:52:55,754
The interesting ones stick in my mind.
Particularly the nephew of an old friend.

687
00:52:55,881 --> 00:52:58,299
Of course, that's logical, Josef.

688
00:52:59,009 --> 00:53:01,177
You say you move in these circles.

689
00:53:02,262 --> 00:53:04,889
Does that mean you are
actually connected with the courts?

690
00:53:05,015 --> 00:53:08,726
With whom else should l associate
if not men of my own profession?

691
00:53:08,852 --> 00:53:11,061
That's certainly incontrovertible.

692
00:53:11,188 --> 00:53:14,356
l'm handicapped these days by illness,

693
00:53:14,482 --> 00:53:18,152
but good friends from the law courts
still visit me from time to time.

694
00:53:18,278 --> 00:53:20,613
l learn many interesting things from them.

695
00:53:20,739 --> 00:53:25,951
For instance, there's a dear friend
of mine visiting me at this very moment.

696
00:53:26,786 --> 00:53:30,915
We were chatting here together when
you two burst in and took us by surprise.

697
00:53:31,041 --> 00:53:35,502
He preferred to withdraw with his chair
and his table into the corner.

698
00:53:36,963 --> 00:53:39,757
The Chief Clerk of the Law Court.

699
00:53:41,051 --> 00:53:43,552
- Where?
- There he is.

700
00:53:48,433 --> 00:53:50,267
There.

701
00:53:51,394 --> 00:53:53,479
l beg your pardon, sir.

702
00:53:53,605 --> 00:53:55,940
l forgot to introduce you.

703
00:53:56,066 --> 00:53:59,235
This is my old friend K
and his nephew.

704
00:53:59,361 --> 00:54:05,074
l know, sir, that you are interested
in this case. Josef K. Leave us, Leni.

705
00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:07,618
The Chief Clerk is a very busy man,

706
00:54:07,744 --> 00:54:11,288
but perhaps he'll stay for a moment
and advise us?

707
00:54:11,414 --> 00:54:16,835
- Yes, we'd certainly be honoured.
- l can stay for only a few minutes.

708
00:54:16,962 --> 00:54:19,380
l know how pressed you are for time,

709
00:54:19,506 --> 00:54:23,092
but the Chief Clerk will tell you,
my dear old friend,

710
00:54:23,218 --> 00:54:27,805
l've defended a great number of
these cases, Max, and won a few of them.

711
00:54:27,931 --> 00:54:30,557
- At least partially.
- Partially.

712
00:54:30,684 --> 00:54:35,396
lt's important to get our first plea ready.
That often determines proceedings.

713
00:54:35,522 --> 00:54:40,234
However, in actual practice, the first
plea is not usually read by the court.

714
00:54:40,360 --> 00:54:45,030
- Oh? And why is that?
- Very often they simply file it away.

715
00:54:45,156 --> 00:54:47,283
(Glass breaks)

716
00:54:50,787 --> 00:54:55,624
Your friend should be warned that the case
of Josef K is likely to be followed

717
00:54:55,750 --> 00:54:57,751
through any number of courts.

718
00:54:57,877 --> 00:55:00,296
(Advocate) And sometimes the case...

719
00:55:13,101 --> 00:55:14,935
l broke the glass.

720
00:55:15,603 --> 00:55:18,981
- Why did you do that?
- To attract your attention.

721
00:55:19,858 --> 00:55:22,109
l wanted you to come here to me.

722
00:55:29,367 --> 00:55:31,577
l was thinking of you, too.

723
00:55:31,703 --> 00:55:35,372
ln there,
you couldn't keep your eyes off me.

724
00:55:35,498 --> 00:55:37,708
And yet you left me to wait.

725
00:55:38,626 --> 00:55:41,545
l couldn't just get up and
walk out of the room without any excuse.

726
00:55:41,671 --> 00:55:44,340
- That's not mine...
- You did it, though.

727
00:55:45,717 --> 00:55:48,969
Yes, l did. That's not my coat.

728
00:55:49,095 --> 00:55:52,973
lf you're going out, you'd better take it.
You weren't wearing a coat.

729
00:55:53,099 --> 00:55:57,519
l'm not going out. l can't even stay here.
l've got to get...back to them.

730
00:56:00,648 --> 00:56:03,442
l know you don't really like me,

731
00:56:03,568 --> 00:56:07,613
but l'm going to make love to you
and then you won't be able to go.

732
00:56:08,907 --> 00:56:11,408
Yeah, but what will they say back there?

733
00:56:13,995 --> 00:56:16,205
You don't like me at all.

734
00:56:17,582 --> 00:56:20,209
Well, "like" is a very feeble word.

735
00:56:22,796 --> 00:56:25,422
- You've got a sweetheart?
- No.

736
00:56:25,548 --> 00:56:29,551
l'll bet you do have one.
A boy like you is bound to have somebody.

737
00:56:31,388 --> 00:56:34,556
- Well, as a matter of fact...
- Tell me about her.

738
00:56:34,682 --> 00:56:38,310
There isn't much to tell.
l don't know where she lives.

739
00:56:38,436 --> 00:56:41,480
- l've got her photograph.
- Ah, you've got her photograph.

740
00:56:44,150 --> 00:56:46,610
What is she? Some kind of an actress?

741
00:56:46,736 --> 00:56:48,779
No, a dancer.

742
00:56:50,657 --> 00:56:52,825
She's not so young, is she?

743
00:56:52,951 --> 00:56:55,869
l don't think l like her.
She looks hard and selfish.

744
00:56:55,995 --> 00:57:00,707
A girl like that wouldn't be able
to sacrifice herself for a man.

745
00:57:00,834 --> 00:57:02,835
Certainly not for me.

746
00:57:04,838 --> 00:57:07,506
(Whispers)
Has she got any physical defect?

747
00:57:07,632 --> 00:57:11,635
- What?
- Has she got any physical defect?

748
00:57:12,929 --> 00:57:14,680
Why, no, of course not.

749
00:57:16,015 --> 00:57:19,726
lf you don't know where she's gone,
l guess she doesn't mean much to you

750
00:57:19,853 --> 00:57:22,229
or you'd find out.

751
00:57:22,355 --> 00:57:24,356
l'll find out.

752
00:57:29,529 --> 00:57:31,738
l've got a physical defect.

753
00:57:33,700 --> 00:57:36,076
l'll show you. Come on.

754
00:57:57,348 --> 00:57:58,724
Look!

755
00:57:59,893 --> 00:58:02,519
The skin between my two middle fingers.

756
00:58:07,484 --> 00:58:09,485
lt's like a web.

757
00:58:09,611 --> 00:58:13,071
A web.
What a pretty little paw.

758
00:58:30,131 --> 00:58:34,301
- You'd better go.
- Go?! Are you serious?

759
00:58:34,427 --> 00:58:37,804
l'll say you weren't feeling well
or something.

760
00:58:37,931 --> 00:58:40,265
That you needed some fresh air.

761
00:58:40,391 --> 00:58:44,019
l'll be back in a minute to let you out.
l've got to get the keys.

762
00:58:44,145 --> 00:58:48,607
- The keys? Are we locked in here?
- l don't want you locked out.

763
00:58:48,733 --> 00:58:52,611
The keys are to let you in yourself
during the nights.

764
00:58:52,737 --> 00:58:55,489
- Whenever you feel like it.
- Good.

765
00:58:59,118 --> 00:59:01,745
- (Crash of thunder)
- Who's that?

766
00:59:01,871 --> 00:59:04,081
- My big picture?
- Yes.

767
00:59:05,583 --> 00:59:08,335
- That could be my judge, l suppose.
- l know him.

768
00:59:08,962 --> 00:59:10,963
He's not a big man like that.

769
00:59:11,089 --> 00:59:13,590
He's little. Almost a dwarf.

770
00:59:16,177 --> 00:59:20,097
But look at the way
he had himself painted.

771
00:59:20,223 --> 00:59:24,059
He's vain.
Of course, like everybody else here.

772
00:59:24,936 --> 00:59:26,728
l'm vain myself.

773
00:59:26,854 --> 00:59:29,565
And it bothers me
that you don't like me more than you do.

774
00:59:29,691 --> 00:59:32,234
High Court judges come here to see you?

775
00:59:32,360 --> 00:59:37,656
- Oh, no. Just an Examining Magistrate.
- Only an Examining Magistrate?

776
00:59:37,782 --> 00:59:41,618
The higher officials
certainly keep themselves well hidden.

777
00:59:41,744 --> 00:59:45,581
His fancy robes and the throne
are just an invention.

778
00:59:45,707 --> 00:59:50,544
Actually, he sits on a kitchen chair
with an old horse rag doubled under him.

779
00:59:51,754 --> 00:59:54,089
(Crash of thunder)

780
01:00:01,014 --> 01:00:04,182
- Ow!
- Must you always brood over your case?

781
01:00:04,309 --> 01:00:10,230
- Probably l don't think enough about it.
- That's not the mistake you're making.

782
01:00:10,356 --> 01:00:14,109
You're too stubborn and too much
of a troublemaker. That's what l hear.

783
01:00:14,235 --> 01:00:16,445
Who told you that?

784
01:00:16,571 --> 01:00:19,114
You mustn't ask me for names.

785
01:00:19,240 --> 01:00:23,744
Just take my warning to heart
and try to be a little more co-operative.

786
01:00:23,870 --> 01:00:26,079
Co-operative? Brother!

787
01:00:45,016 --> 01:00:48,310
The first chance you get,
you ought to make your confession.

788
01:00:49,771 --> 01:00:53,440
Until you do that, there isn't a hope
of getting out of their clutches.

789
01:00:54,817 --> 01:00:59,780
Not a hope. And even then you'll need
a lot of help from the outside.

790
01:00:59,906 --> 01:01:02,908
- (Advocate) Leni!
- (Max) Josef!

791
01:01:03,701 --> 01:01:06,662
- Josef!
- Leni, where are you? Leni, darling?

792
01:01:06,788 --> 01:01:11,416
Max is leaving.
l want the keys for the door.

793
01:01:12,085 --> 01:01:13,877
- Good night.
- Good night.

794
01:01:14,003 --> 01:01:17,714
Albert, go on with what you were saying
about advocates.

795
01:01:17,840 --> 01:01:20,550
Oh, they do everything they can
to discourage us.

796
01:01:20,677 --> 01:01:24,680
You should see the room
they have for advocates.

797
01:01:24,806 --> 01:01:28,975
No ventilation.
Just a tiny skylight up high.

798
01:01:29,102 --> 01:01:33,730
You have to have some other advocate
to hoist you up on his back.

799
01:01:33,856 --> 01:01:38,318
For more than a year now
there's been a hole in the floor!

800
01:01:38,444 --> 01:01:43,031
lf you stumble into it, your leg hangs
down into the corridor below.

801
01:01:43,157 --> 01:01:46,910
- Very embarrassing with a client.
- l had no idea of the difficulties.

802
01:01:47,036 --> 01:01:49,496
Yes, it's all...

803
01:01:52,208 --> 01:01:54,376
..very humiliating.

804
01:01:54,502 --> 01:01:58,380
l only wish
my nephew could be hearing all this.

805
01:02:07,098 --> 01:02:09,099
(Storm rages)

806
01:02:28,494 --> 01:02:30,245
- Who's that man?
- What man?

807
01:02:30,371 --> 01:02:33,123
- That man in there.
- You shouldn't have opened that door.

808
01:02:34,208 --> 01:02:37,461
- Well, who is he?
- He doesn't matter. Come here.

809
01:02:37,587 --> 01:02:40,172
What do you mean he doesn't matter?

810
01:02:40,298 --> 01:02:42,966
Oh, no, no. l've got to go.

811
01:02:44,635 --> 01:02:46,678
All right.

812
01:02:46,804 --> 01:02:51,141
These are the back stairs. You'd better
pretend you were waiting in the street.

813
01:02:52,518 --> 01:02:56,062
Say you'd begun to feel faint
and needed some fresh air.

814
01:02:56,189 --> 01:03:00,192
- What's he doing in there?
- Waiting. He's a client.

815
01:03:01,986 --> 01:03:03,445
Here's your key.

816
01:03:08,242 --> 01:03:10,285
(Advocate) Leni?

817
01:03:19,420 --> 01:03:21,254
Josef! Well?

818
01:03:21,380 --> 01:03:24,424
- Well what?
- You know she's the Advocate's mistress?

819
01:03:24,550 --> 01:03:27,928
You're facing a criminal charge.
Do you want to make enemies?

820
01:03:28,054 --> 01:03:30,013
Do you want to lose your case?

821
01:03:52,954 --> 01:03:54,454
Looking for somebody?

822
01:03:54,580 --> 01:03:57,582
What's wrong? lsn't the court in session?

823
01:03:57,708 --> 01:04:00,627
- Not today.
- Why isn't the court in session?

824
01:04:00,753 --> 01:04:02,671
- lt'll be sitting tomorrow.
- Are you sure?

825
01:04:02,797 --> 01:04:05,882
- My husband's a guard here.
- The man who was kissing you?

826
01:04:06,008 --> 01:04:09,427
That wasn't my husband!

827
01:04:09,554 --> 01:04:12,180
That was a law student,
but even so he's got influence.

828
01:04:12,306 --> 01:04:14,724
- lnfluence, huh?
- He's important.

829
01:04:14,851 --> 01:04:18,520
He must be. You were making love
in the middle of the crowd.

830
01:04:18,646 --> 01:04:22,232
l guess we ruined your speech,
but what could l do about it?

831
01:04:22,358 --> 01:04:26,444
Once he gets started, it's...
Hey! You can't touch those books!

832
01:04:26,571 --> 01:04:29,155
- They belong to the Examining Magistrate.
- We'll see.

833
01:04:29,282 --> 01:04:32,033
lt's not my fault. lt's the rules.

834
01:04:32,952 --> 01:04:37,873
You do remember me, don't you?
From last night? My name is Hilda.

835
01:04:37,999 --> 01:04:41,585
These are probably law books.
l mustn't read any law.

836
01:04:41,711 --> 01:04:46,089
l must be condemned not only
in ignorance... How dirty they are.

837
01:04:52,263 --> 01:04:53,972
Oh, they really are dirty.

838
01:04:58,269 --> 01:05:00,937
And these are the men
that sit in judgment on me!

839
01:05:01,063 --> 01:05:03,273
Listen, l'll help you.

840
01:05:03,399 --> 01:05:07,611
- Wouldn't you like me to?
- How, if your husband's a guard here?

841
01:05:07,737 --> 01:05:11,489
l want to help you.
That's why l came in here.

842
01:05:11,616 --> 01:05:15,785
- Even though it's forbidden.
- l wouldn't want you to get in trouble.

843
01:05:15,912 --> 01:05:18,496
No, you mustn't go away like that.

844
01:05:18,623 --> 01:05:22,626
Not yet. You've got
the wrong ideas about me.

845
01:05:22,752 --> 01:05:27,631
Am l such a nothing in your eyes
that you won't stay just a little longer?

846
01:05:27,757 --> 01:05:32,052
Well, l've got plenty of time. l only came
thinking the court would be in session.

847
01:05:32,887 --> 01:05:36,348
You mustn't be offended when l ask you
not to do anything about my case.

848
01:05:36,474 --> 01:05:40,310
l don't care at all how it comes out.
lf they sentence me, l'll just laugh.

849
01:05:40,436 --> 01:05:45,482
Not that it'll ever come to that.
They might hope to get money out of me,

850
01:05:45,608 --> 01:05:48,318
but they're wasting their time.

851
01:05:48,444 --> 01:05:53,365
You could tell that Examining Magistrate
that nothing could induce me to give money

852
01:05:53,491 --> 01:05:56,242
to those precious judges. Nope.

853
01:05:56,369 --> 01:06:00,080
But you said the only ones who could
do you any good were the higher-ups.

854
01:06:00,206 --> 01:06:01,998
l'm afraid so.

855
01:06:02,124 --> 01:06:06,252
He's always writing reports.
They must go up to the real authorities.

856
01:06:06,379 --> 01:06:12,801
Last night, when the others had left,
he stayed on here real late, writing away.

857
01:06:12,927 --> 01:06:15,345
l had to bring him a candle.

858
01:06:15,471 --> 01:06:20,100
Then my husband came home and
started to move furniture back in place,

859
01:06:20,226 --> 01:06:23,770
neighbours came in with some beer
and we got to talking by candlelight

860
01:06:23,896 --> 01:06:27,524
and we just forgot about
the Examining Magistrate altogether.

861
01:06:28,693 --> 01:06:33,154
Then, in the middle of the night, l woke
up and there he was standing by our bed

862
01:06:33,280 --> 01:06:37,033
and shielding the candle with his hand
to keep the light from my husband.

863
01:06:37,159 --> 01:06:38,702
Not that he needed to bother.

864
01:06:38,828 --> 01:06:42,288
Once my husband gets to sleep,
nothing wakes him.

865
01:06:42,415 --> 01:06:47,293
l was so startled, l almost let out
a yell, but the Magistrate was real kind.

866
01:06:47,420 --> 01:06:50,755
He whispered he'd been in there
all the time, writing,

867
01:06:50,881 --> 01:06:54,968
and now he'd come to return the candle,
and as long as he lived

868
01:06:55,094 --> 01:06:57,595
he'd never forget the picture l'd made.

869
01:06:57,722 --> 01:07:02,684
That's what he said. The picture
l made lying asleep in the bed.

870
01:07:02,810 --> 01:07:06,187
He's so busy writing
these great, long reports.

871
01:07:06,313 --> 01:07:10,567
The one last night must have been
about you. And somebody must read it.

872
01:07:10,693 --> 01:07:12,902
Besides, he's starting
to take an interest in me.

873
01:07:13,863 --> 01:07:16,114
Maybe l could do you some good, eh?

874
01:07:16,240 --> 01:07:19,534
This morning
he sent me a pair of stockings.

875
01:07:19,660 --> 01:07:21,661
Look, l've got them on now.

876
01:07:21,787 --> 01:07:23,913
Look out.

877
01:07:24,040 --> 01:07:26,041
- lt's Bert.
- Bert?

878
01:07:26,167 --> 01:07:30,462
l know. He's ugly.
Did you get a look at those legs of his?

879
01:07:30,588 --> 01:07:32,964
All the same, l gotta go and be with him.

880
01:07:33,090 --> 01:07:37,177
l'll come back soon.
Then l'll go with you wherever you like

881
01:07:37,303 --> 01:07:39,929
and you can do with me whatever you want.

882
01:07:40,056 --> 01:07:42,599
What's wrong? Don't you believe me?

883
01:07:44,393 --> 01:07:46,019
Why should l?

884
01:07:47,188 --> 01:07:49,022
This could be a trap.

885
01:07:49,148 --> 01:07:53,151
- (Whispers) Are you afraid?
- Who is this law student? A henchman?

886
01:07:53,277 --> 01:07:56,071
- What of it?
- l-l-l-l was thinking.

887
01:07:56,197 --> 01:07:58,406
Don't think.

888
01:08:02,078 --> 01:08:06,623
lt would be kind of a nice revenge
to take you away from both of them.

889
01:08:06,749 --> 01:08:08,291
Why not?

890
01:08:08,417 --> 01:08:12,378
Then some night after the Magistrate
has been staying up late

891
01:08:12,505 --> 01:08:17,050
filling out those long, lying reports
about me, he'd come to your bedside

892
01:08:17,176 --> 01:08:18,802
and he would...

893
01:08:27,394 --> 01:08:29,395
Why don't you go?

894
01:08:29,522 --> 01:08:32,982
- You should have left when l came in.
- You think so?

895
01:08:33,109 --> 01:08:35,151
That's what you're supposed to do.

896
01:08:35,277 --> 01:08:38,238
When l come in,
you get the hell out of here.

897
01:08:39,657 --> 01:08:41,491
Well...

898
01:08:41,617 --> 01:08:46,454
l seem to detect the insolence
of a future official of the court.

899
01:08:46,580 --> 01:08:51,417
You shouldn't be allowed to run around.
That was a mistake. l told the Magistrate.

900
01:08:51,544 --> 01:08:55,421
- Come on.
- Don't try to be funny! Come on!

901
01:08:58,008 --> 01:08:59,968
Wait a minute!

902
01:09:01,137 --> 01:09:03,346
- lt's no use!
- What do you mean?

903
01:09:03,472 --> 01:09:06,766
He sent for me! The Examining Magistrate.

904
01:09:06,892 --> 01:09:11,062
- The Examining Magistrate?!
- He won't let me go!

905
01:09:14,900 --> 01:09:17,527
Sorry! What can l do?!

906
01:09:22,992 --> 01:09:25,869
- Now listen...
- Leave him! You want to ruin me?

907
01:09:25,995 --> 01:09:28,746
He's obeying the Examining Magistrate.

908
01:09:28,873 --> 01:09:32,333
All right. Take her to him!
You lied to me.

909
01:09:32,459 --> 01:09:35,753
- Why should l lie?
- Being taken to the Magistrate(?)

910
01:09:35,880 --> 01:09:40,675
- Yes, l am!
- He's waiting in a place like that?!

911
01:09:40,801 --> 01:09:44,053
Of course he is! These are the law court
offices. Where else would he be?

912
01:09:44,180 --> 01:09:47,056
Law court offices? ln a place like...?

913
01:09:50,477 --> 01:09:51,477
Hell!

914
01:10:12,208 --> 01:10:16,586
- You're the defendant?
- My name is K.

915
01:10:17,671 --> 01:10:20,548
You're...the court room guard.

916
01:10:20,674 --> 01:10:22,967
Yes, l'm her husband.

917
01:10:23,093 --> 01:10:24,928
lt's Sunday night.

918
01:10:27,598 --> 01:10:29,515
l'm not supposed to work on Sunday night.

919
01:10:30,226 --> 01:10:33,144
But just to get me out of the way
they send me off

920
01:10:33,270 --> 01:10:35,855
on these long, useless errands.

921
01:10:36,857 --> 01:10:38,858
That student.

922
01:10:39,735 --> 01:10:42,237
lf my job didn't depend on it,

923
01:10:42,363 --> 01:10:46,616
l would have squashed him flat
against the wall here long ago.

924
01:10:47,618 --> 01:10:51,412
Right there.
Just a little bit above the floor.

925
01:10:52,373 --> 01:10:54,499
All splashed in blood

926
01:10:54,625 --> 01:10:57,835
with his arms and his fingers

927
01:10:57,962 --> 01:11:01,214
and those bandy legs of his
all twisted out

928
01:11:01,340 --> 01:11:06,135
and writhing...
like a smashed cockroach.

929
01:11:11,016 --> 01:11:13,601
He used to carry her off
for his own pleasure,

930
01:11:13,727 --> 01:11:16,813
but now it's the Examining Magistrate!

931
01:11:16,939 --> 01:11:20,858
- lsn't she to blame as well?
- She throws herself at him.

932
01:11:20,985 --> 01:11:23,403
ln my position, there is nothing l can do.

933
01:11:23,529 --> 01:11:28,241
But if somebody gave him a good thrashing,
just once, he's a coward, you know.

934
01:11:28,367 --> 01:11:33,288
He'd never touch her again.
Only a man like you could do it.

935
01:11:33,414 --> 01:11:36,249
A man like me? What do you mean?

936
01:11:36,375 --> 01:11:38,876
- They've arrested you, haven't they?
- Yes.

937
01:11:39,003 --> 01:11:42,171
That just gives me more reason
to be afraid of him.

938
01:11:42,298 --> 01:11:45,925
- l heard about that speech of yours.
- What about it?

939
01:11:47,970 --> 01:11:51,222
l wouldn't have thought
you'd be afraid at all.

940
01:11:51,348 --> 01:11:54,267
l'm not. l'm not afraid,
not of him personally.

941
01:11:54,393 --> 01:11:59,605
l'm not afraid of any of them.
But he does have influence, so they say.

942
01:11:59,732 --> 01:12:01,607
God knows,
my case is prejudiced enough.

943
01:12:01,734 --> 01:12:03,609
None of our cases are prejudiced.

944
01:12:03,736 --> 01:12:06,362
Well, l'm afraid
l'd have to disagree with you about that.

945
01:12:07,614 --> 01:12:12,493
- But it wouldn't necessarily stop me.
- l'd be very grateful. Come.

946
01:12:12,619 --> 01:12:14,037
Come.

947
01:12:32,514 --> 01:12:34,807
These are the law court officers.

948
01:12:39,897 --> 01:12:42,357
That's where they are,
my wife and the Magistrate.

949
01:12:46,987 --> 01:12:49,989
l don't have a key for this one.

950
01:13:06,131 --> 01:13:07,965
Who are these people?

951
01:13:08,801 --> 01:13:10,259
The accused.

952
01:13:38,580 --> 01:13:41,332
- You. Why are you here?
- l'm waiting.

953
01:13:41,458 --> 01:13:44,836
- What are you waiting for?
- l handed in several affidavits.

954
01:13:44,962 --> 01:13:48,798
That was some time ago.
l'm waiting here for the result.

955
01:13:48,924 --> 01:13:53,177
- You're taking a good deal of trouble.
- Yes, you see, it's my case.

956
01:13:53,303 --> 01:13:56,764
What makes you think
that kind of thing is necessary?

957
01:13:56,890 --> 01:14:01,727
l can't say exactly,
but l handed in my affidavits.

958
01:14:01,854 --> 01:14:06,274
- You don't believe l'm under arrest.
- Oh, yes, certainly.

959
01:14:06,400 --> 01:14:09,360
Why not?
Why don't you believe l'm under arrest?

960
01:14:12,322 --> 01:14:15,074
What do you take me for?

961
01:14:15,200 --> 01:14:16,993
You think l'm a judge?

962
01:14:28,172 --> 01:14:30,923
Back to your seats, all of you!
Keep the passage clear!

963
01:14:36,722 --> 01:14:39,765
Can you tell me how to get out of here?
l've had enough of this place.

964
01:14:39,892 --> 01:14:43,686
You're going already?
But you've hardly seen anything yet.

965
01:14:43,812 --> 01:14:46,439
l don't want to.
l just want to get out of here.

966
01:14:46,565 --> 01:14:49,650
Well, you keep to the right
through that passage...

967
01:14:50,777 --> 01:14:54,155
..and then you go to the second corner

968
01:14:54,281 --> 01:14:56,782
and then left along the lobby
to the fourth.

969
01:14:56,909 --> 01:14:58,576
You'd better show me yourself.

970
01:14:58,702 --> 01:15:01,412
There are so many passages
and lobbies, l'll never find the way.

971
01:15:01,538 --> 01:15:03,789
l've got a message to deliver
and l've lost a lot of time.

972
01:15:03,916 --> 01:15:05,917
- Come with me!
- Not so loud.

973
01:15:06,043 --> 01:15:08,127
You want to bring the officials
down on us?

974
01:15:08,253 --> 01:15:11,214
lf they ask who you are, you'll have
to admit you're one of the accused.

975
01:15:11,340 --> 01:15:14,258
l'm not trying to hide it.

976
01:15:14,384 --> 01:15:17,053
- What will l tell them?
- The truth maybe.

977
01:15:17,179 --> 01:15:19,347
l only came here because l wanted to see

978
01:15:19,473 --> 01:15:23,893
if the inside of this famous legal system
was as loathsome as l guessed it was.

979
01:15:24,019 --> 01:15:27,396
And now l'm too depressed
to want to see anything more.

980
01:15:27,523 --> 01:15:30,274
l just want to get out of here
and be alone.

981
01:16:01,431 --> 01:16:03,683
- What's wrong? You feel a little dizzy?
- Yes.

982
01:16:03,809 --> 01:16:07,645
Don't worry. Almost everybody has
an attack like that on their first visit.

983
01:16:07,771 --> 01:16:11,315
lt's the air. Then all sorts of washing
is hung up here to dry.

984
01:16:11,441 --> 01:16:14,610
You can't forbid the tenants
to wash their dirty linen.

985
01:16:14,736 --> 01:16:17,989
There's just nothing
we can do about that, l'm afraid.

986
01:16:18,907 --> 01:16:20,616
Where are you going?

987
01:16:26,456 --> 01:16:30,459
- You want to be taken to the sick room?
- Please don't trouble yourself. l...

988
01:16:32,212 --> 01:16:34,422
l'd feel fine
if l could just get some air.

989
01:16:34,548 --> 01:16:36,340
lt's not far now.

990
01:16:36,466 --> 01:16:38,801
Here's the door right in front of you.

991
01:16:41,013 --> 01:16:43,180
Why don't you go out?
That's what you wanted.

992
01:16:43,307 --> 01:16:45,516
Yes. Thank you.

993
01:16:51,023 --> 01:16:53,482
l'm not used to the fresh air.

994
01:17:09,207 --> 01:17:11,208
(Bells chime)

995
01:17:17,924 --> 01:17:19,759
Hello.

996
01:17:19,885 --> 01:17:22,470
lrmie! What are you doing here?

997
01:17:22,596 --> 01:17:25,931
- Well, l've been looking for you.
- But why?

998
01:17:26,058 --> 01:17:28,059
Uncle Max, l suppose, checking up on me.

999
01:17:28,185 --> 01:17:30,394
He keeps writing, nagging at me for news.

1000
01:17:30,520 --> 01:17:33,356
He hasn't heard a thing about your case
for a long time now.

1001
01:17:33,482 --> 01:17:35,650
So naturally, he's worried. We all are.

1002
01:17:35,776 --> 01:17:37,818
Well, tell him not to worry.

1003
01:17:38,570 --> 01:17:41,822
Gee, l gotta write something.
Just something.

1004
01:17:41,948 --> 01:17:44,909
- Tell him everything's under control.
- But is it?

1005
01:17:45,827 --> 01:17:47,244
l don't know. l...

1006
01:17:47,371 --> 01:17:50,748
l hate to be a drag, but you know
how he carries on about things -

1007
01:17:50,874 --> 01:17:53,626
now it's the honour of the family
and all that jazz!

1008
01:17:53,752 --> 01:17:56,170
- Maybe he's right.
- Oh, sh...

1009
01:17:58,131 --> 01:18:01,467
l hope you didn't say what l thought you did.
You shouldn't use that language.

1010
01:18:01,593 --> 01:18:04,553
- How old are you, anyway?
- 16, practically.

1011
01:18:04,680 --> 01:18:07,640
You're 1 5. You certainly shouldn't
have come out here alone.

1012
01:18:07,766 --> 01:18:10,643
l wouldn't be here if you hadn't got
in trouble with the law.

1013
01:18:10,769 --> 01:18:13,187
- Don't they check up on you at school?
- They try to.

1014
01:18:13,313 --> 01:18:16,440
- You sneak out after hours?
- You're not the only crook in the family.

1015
01:18:16,566 --> 01:18:18,901
- That's not funny.
- OK, you write home

1016
01:18:19,027 --> 01:18:21,445
and say what a delinquent l am,
but what do l say about you?

1017
01:18:21,571 --> 01:18:23,656
There must be some kind of news.

1018
01:18:24,825 --> 01:18:26,409
Well, l...

1019
01:18:26,535 --> 01:18:30,955
l'm thinking of getting rid of your
father's old school chum. Tell him that.

1020
01:18:31,081 --> 01:18:35,334
The famous advocate Hastler isn't doing
anything, except encourage the delay.

1021
01:18:35,460 --> 01:18:38,796
But he's your lawyer.
How can you get rid of your lawyer?

1022
01:18:38,922 --> 01:18:41,298
Easy. Just dismiss him from the case.

1023
01:18:42,217 --> 01:18:45,469
- And then what?
- l don't know.

1024
01:18:46,388 --> 01:18:48,347
lsn't there something more definite
l can write home about?

1025
01:18:48,473 --> 01:18:50,349
- No.
- You've got to have a lawyer.

1026
01:18:50,475 --> 01:18:52,601
lnfluence is all that counts
in the long run.

1027
01:18:52,728 --> 01:18:57,022
Hastler always brags about his personal
connections, but what's he really up to?

1028
01:18:57,149 --> 01:19:00,568
l'm not stupid. l can defend myself.
Look at the position l've got at the office.

1029
01:19:00,694 --> 01:19:05,114
Don't be surprised if you hear l've become
deputy manager of my entire department.

1030
01:19:05,240 --> 01:19:08,701
All l've got to do is apply those
same abilities to this case of mine.

1031
01:19:08,827 --> 01:19:10,953
lf l get rid of the Advocate,
l can draw up my own plan

1032
01:19:11,079 --> 01:19:13,456
and keep after the officials myself.

1033
01:19:14,291 --> 01:19:17,585
- This is where l leave you, lrmie.
- You're not going to work now?

1034
01:19:17,711 --> 01:19:20,671
Things keep piling up.
This case is taking such a lot of my time.

1035
01:19:20,797 --> 01:19:24,341
l've got to finish my work somehow.
l ought to walk you back to your school.

1036
01:19:24,468 --> 01:19:26,469
That's all l need -
to be seen with a man!

1037
01:19:26,595 --> 01:19:29,305
- But l'm your cousin.
- Cousins get married.

1038
01:19:29,431 --> 01:19:32,600
- You wouldn't want to marry a criminal.
- Crooks get married, too.

1039
01:19:34,102 --> 01:19:36,228
- So long now.
- So long, Josef.

1040
01:19:55,624 --> 01:19:57,625
(He whispers) lt's him.

1041
01:20:00,045 --> 01:20:01,921
- Who are you?
- My name is Block.

1042
01:20:02,047 --> 01:20:04,673
- Are you employed here?
- No, l'm only a client.

1043
01:20:04,800 --> 01:20:07,218
l don't belong to the house.
l'm here on business.

1044
01:20:07,344 --> 01:20:09,428
- ln your shirt sleeves?
- Excuse me, please.

1045
01:20:09,554 --> 01:20:13,098
- Have you been making love to Leni?
- No. No!

1046
01:20:13,225 --> 01:20:16,435
You look like an honest man.
What did you say your name was? Block?

1047
01:20:16,561 --> 01:20:17,978
Yes, Block.

1048
01:20:18,104 --> 01:20:21,398
- That's your real name?
- Of course. Why shouldn't it be?

1049
01:20:21,525 --> 01:20:25,444
l don't know. You might have
some reason for concealing it.

1050
01:20:30,909 --> 01:20:33,202
- Do you know who that is?
- Yes, a judge.

1051
01:20:33,328 --> 01:20:36,664
- A judge of the high court?
- Yes, it must be.

1052
01:20:36,790 --> 01:20:40,209
That shows how much you know.
Among judges that's the lowest of the low.

1053
01:20:40,335 --> 01:20:43,879
Yes. Yes, of course, now l remember.
l've been told about that before.

1054
01:20:44,005 --> 01:20:46,799
You've been told all about that before.
Of course you have.

1055
01:20:46,925 --> 01:20:48,926
Yes, sir, l have been told this.

1056
01:20:49,052 --> 01:20:51,720
Where is she now?
Come on, where's Leni?

1057
01:20:51,847 --> 01:20:53,806
Where is she hiding?

1058
01:20:53,932 --> 01:20:56,684
l don't think she's hiding, sir.
She must be in the kitchen.

1059
01:20:56,810 --> 01:21:01,021
Yes, that's where she ought to be.
She must be making soup for the Advocate.

1060
01:21:01,147 --> 01:21:03,315
- Why didn't you tell me?
- l'm taking you there.

1061
01:21:03,441 --> 01:21:06,569
- Don't think you're being clever.
- l don't think l'm clever at all.

1062
01:21:06,695 --> 01:21:08,529
Lead the way then.

1063
01:21:09,197 --> 01:21:10,823
Go on.

1064
01:21:15,036 --> 01:21:17,705
- Good evening, Josef.
- Leni...

1065
01:21:26,423 --> 01:21:29,049
- Who's that man?
- His name is Block.

1066
01:21:32,137 --> 01:21:34,346
You were in your nightgown.

1067
01:21:36,099 --> 01:21:38,100
ls he your lover?

1068
01:21:38,810 --> 01:21:40,978
l want an answer!

1069
01:21:41,104 --> 01:21:43,731
Come to the study
and l'll tell you about it.

1070
01:21:45,650 --> 01:21:47,526
No.

1071
01:21:47,652 --> 01:21:49,945
No, l want you to tell me in here.

1072
01:21:50,614 --> 01:21:54,617
You aren't jealous of poor little Block?
You can see what he is - nothing.

1073
01:21:54,743 --> 01:21:56,535
l just have to pay
a little attention to him

1074
01:21:56,661 --> 01:21:59,830
because he is one
of the Advocate's best clients.

1075
01:22:06,129 --> 01:22:09,757
- You're going to spend the night with me?
- The eggs are burning.

1076
01:22:13,637 --> 01:22:16,263
lt's just as well. Eggs are bad for you.

1077
01:22:16,389 --> 01:22:19,224
lf you really want to see the Advocate,
l'll tell him you're here.

1078
01:22:19,351 --> 01:22:21,852
- He's been asking after you.
- l'll bet he has.

1079
01:22:21,978 --> 01:22:24,229
Where have you been all this time?

1080
01:22:25,148 --> 01:22:29,068
l've got some information for you, too.
Things l've found out.

1081
01:22:29,194 --> 01:22:31,320
But first, let's get off that jacket.

1082
01:22:31,446 --> 01:22:33,697
Shall l announce you
or give him his soup first?

1083
01:22:33,823 --> 01:22:36,909
Give him his soup. He'll need it
by the time l'm through with him.

1084
01:22:37,035 --> 01:22:39,495
So you are one
of the Advocate's clients?

1085
01:22:39,621 --> 01:22:42,915
- What's it got to do with you?
- You be quiet, Rudy.

1086
01:22:43,041 --> 01:22:46,335
l'll give him his soup now,
but he may fall asleep right afterwards.

1087
01:22:46,461 --> 01:22:48,545
What l have to say to him
will keep him awake.

1088
01:22:48,672 --> 01:22:50,798
As soon as he's finished eating,
l'll announce you.

1089
01:22:50,924 --> 01:22:53,842
- l want to get you back with me.
- Keep your seat.

1090
01:22:56,596 --> 01:22:58,055
So...

1091
01:23:01,476 --> 01:23:03,268
You're, uh...

1092
01:23:03,979 --> 01:23:07,439
- You're one of the Advocate's clients?
- Oh, yes.

1093
01:23:07,565 --> 01:23:10,609
Yes, a very old client indeed.

1094
01:23:10,735 --> 01:23:13,028
How long has he had charge
of your affairs?

1095
01:23:13,154 --> 01:23:15,698
Affairs? Business affairs?

1096
01:23:15,824 --> 01:23:19,827
Oh, he's been my representative
since the very beginning.

1097
01:23:22,205 --> 01:23:26,208
But my case, that's what probably
you're thinking about.

1098
01:23:26,334 --> 01:23:28,961
l have it all written down here.

1099
01:23:29,087 --> 01:23:31,088
l can give you the exact dates.

1100
01:23:31,214 --> 01:23:34,425
lt's very difficult to keep all that
in one's head, so...

1101
01:23:34,551 --> 01:23:39,471
l never realised that Hastler had
an ordinary commercial practice as well.

1102
01:23:39,597 --> 01:23:41,098
Of course.

1103
01:23:41,224 --> 01:23:44,059
Why, yes, you know that they even say...

1104
01:23:45,520 --> 01:23:50,357
They even say that he's a better advocate
for business than for the other kind.

1105
01:23:50,483 --> 01:23:52,568
- Yes?
- Oh, yes.

1106
01:23:52,694 --> 01:23:54,319
You won't give me away?

1107
01:23:55,572 --> 01:23:57,489
l'm not an informer.

1108
01:23:58,658 --> 01:24:01,785
He's a revengeful man, very revengeful.

1109
01:24:03,329 --> 01:24:07,207
Surely he wouldn't... He wouldn't think
of harming one of his own clients?

1110
01:24:07,333 --> 01:24:08,751
Yes, yes.

1111
01:24:08,877 --> 01:24:11,920
Yes, once he's aroused, he'll do anything.

1112
01:24:12,797 --> 01:24:15,591
He doesn't draw any distinctions.

1113
01:24:15,717 --> 01:24:17,718
What was it you wanted to tell me?

1114
01:24:18,803 --> 01:24:22,139
You'll have to tell me
one of your own secrets.

1115
01:24:22,265 --> 01:24:23,891
Please.

1116
01:24:24,017 --> 01:24:26,810
So we can trust each other to keep quiet.

1117
01:24:26,936 --> 01:24:29,063
OK, l'll give you something.

1118
01:24:37,113 --> 01:24:39,281
l have other advocates.

1119
01:24:40,408 --> 01:24:45,537
- Other advocates as well as Hastler?
- Five of them.

1120
01:24:45,663 --> 01:24:47,664
(He sniggers)

1121
01:24:47,791 --> 01:24:49,625
You know...

1122
01:24:50,418 --> 01:24:52,377
- (Both laugh)
- Hastler...

1123
01:24:57,008 --> 01:24:59,343
- Listen...
- Yeah?

1124
01:24:59,469 --> 01:25:01,720
Hastler, yes...

1125
01:25:02,555 --> 01:25:04,890
- You notice he's always...
- (Laughter)

1126
01:25:05,016 --> 01:25:07,017
Ssh! Wait a minute.

1127
01:25:08,353 --> 01:25:13,565
Hastler is always referring to the others
in his own circle as great advocates.

1128
01:25:14,859 --> 01:25:16,193
- No?
- No.

1129
01:25:16,319 --> 01:25:18,320
- No?
- Of course not.

1130
01:25:20,406 --> 01:25:22,866
- But in the real protocol of the court...
- Yeah?

1131
01:25:23,952 --> 01:25:26,411
- He ranks where?
- Where?

1132
01:25:26,538 --> 01:25:30,290
Among the small advocates. For sure.

1133
01:25:30,416 --> 01:25:32,668
Hastler?

1134
01:25:32,794 --> 01:25:36,421
Well, the real great advocates
whom l've never seen...

1135
01:25:36,548 --> 01:25:39,049
- You were working on your own behalf?
- Oh, yes.

1136
01:25:39,175 --> 01:25:41,135
l'd like to ask you about that.

1137
01:25:41,261 --> 01:25:43,345
- How do you do that?
- lt's exhausting.

1138
01:25:44,305 --> 01:25:47,933
lt's just that they need a court
to try to keep an eye on things.

1139
01:25:48,059 --> 01:25:49,560
Too much for one man.

1140
01:25:53,273 --> 01:25:56,650
l'll be there often enough myself
after this, l suppose.

1141
01:25:56,776 --> 01:25:59,611
l can't expect the special treatment
l got the first time.

1142
01:25:59,737 --> 01:26:02,406
Everybody stood up.
They must have taken me for a judge.

1143
01:26:02,532 --> 01:26:05,409
lt was the guard you were with.

1144
01:26:05,535 --> 01:26:08,078
He's the one we all stood up for.

1145
01:26:08,204 --> 01:26:11,540
- There's that ridiculous superstition.
- What superstition?

1146
01:26:11,666 --> 01:26:14,668
You're supposed to be able to tell
from a man's face,

1147
01:26:14,794 --> 01:26:18,130
and from the line
of his lips especially,

1148
01:26:18,256 --> 01:26:21,216
how his case is going to turn out.

1149
01:26:21,342 --> 01:26:22,342
So?

1150
01:26:22,468 --> 01:26:26,346
So people were saying
that from the expression on your lips,

1151
01:26:26,472 --> 01:26:29,850
they could tell
that you'll be found guilty.

1152
01:26:29,976 --> 01:26:33,437
- Yes, in the very near future.
- The Advocate is waiting for you.

1153
01:26:33,563 --> 01:26:36,732
- Let him wait!
- Talk to Block later. He's sleeping here.

1154
01:26:36,858 --> 01:26:39,484
- Sleeping here?
- Everybody isn't like you...

1155
01:26:41,196 --> 01:26:45,115
Expecting to be granted an interview
at any hour of the day or night!

1156
01:26:46,326 --> 01:26:48,660
And the Advocate sick as he is, too.

1157
01:26:54,459 --> 01:26:58,003
Your friends do you favours
and you just take them for granted.

1158
01:26:59,964 --> 01:27:01,965
Not that l ask for any thanks.

1159
01:27:02,884 --> 01:27:05,135
All l want...

1160
01:27:05,261 --> 01:27:08,680
Well, l want you to be fond of me.

1161
01:27:08,806 --> 01:27:10,933
l'm fond of you.

1162
01:27:12,101 --> 01:27:15,103
l don't know. Why shouldn't Hastler
be willing to see me?

1163
01:27:15,230 --> 01:27:18,440
He's my lawyer, isn't he?
What kind of a favour is that?

1164
01:27:18,566 --> 01:27:21,985
- That's not the question...
- lt's his day for being difficult.

1165
01:27:24,405 --> 01:27:28,992
Do you know why the Advocate has agreed
to see him, Leni? lt's because...

1166
01:27:30,036 --> 01:27:34,039
..his case is still at a hopeful stage.
Oh, yes, Leni.

1167
01:27:34,832 --> 01:27:38,752
- He'll see the difference later on.
- You talk too much.

1168
01:27:38,878 --> 01:27:41,088
That's his trouble.

1169
01:27:41,214 --> 01:27:43,590
That's why the Advocate can't bear
to see him.

1170
01:27:43,716 --> 01:27:45,008
Oh...

1171
01:27:45,134 --> 01:27:47,844
Oh, he does see me occasionally.

1172
01:27:48,638 --> 01:27:52,349
But you never know.
That's what's so nerve-wracking.

1173
01:27:53,476 --> 01:27:56,937
You never know
when he'll be willing to receive you.

1174
01:27:57,855 --> 01:28:00,565
lt could be any time - day, night.

1175
01:28:00,692 --> 01:28:03,026
And if l'm not right here on the spot

1176
01:28:03,152 --> 01:28:06,655
when he does take it into his head
to send for me,

1177
01:28:06,781 --> 01:28:08,907
l've lost my chance.

1178
01:28:10,618 --> 01:28:13,495
Then l have to wait much longer
than before.

1179
01:28:13,621 --> 01:28:15,914
That's why l let you sleep here.

1180
01:28:16,624 --> 01:28:20,836
Well, l guess one gets very dependent
on one's advocate as time goes on.

1181
01:28:20,962 --> 01:28:23,755
Well, the truth is he likes it.

1182
01:28:23,881 --> 01:28:26,717
- Leni...
- Maybe not the waiting.

1183
01:28:26,843 --> 01:28:30,012
But you do enjoy spending the night,
now, don't you?

1184
01:28:30,805 --> 01:28:31,930
Good.

1185
01:28:35,393 --> 01:28:37,227
Want to see his room?

1186
01:28:43,901 --> 01:28:44,943
OK.

1187
01:28:54,746 --> 01:28:57,414
So you sleep in the maid's room?

1188
01:28:57,540 --> 01:29:00,292
Yeah, she lets me have it, yes.

1189
01:29:00,418 --> 01:29:02,419
lt's very convenient.

1190
01:29:10,511 --> 01:29:12,512
(She sighs)

1191
01:29:19,645 --> 01:29:21,480
Put him to bed.

1192
01:29:21,606 --> 01:29:23,273
Mr K, wait!

1193
01:29:23,399 --> 01:29:25,692
- Wait, Mr K!
- Rudy!

1194
01:29:25,818 --> 01:29:27,861
Mr K! Mr K!

1195
01:29:27,987 --> 01:29:30,739
Please... You forgot your promise.

1196
01:29:30,865 --> 01:29:33,909
You were going to tell me
one of your secrets.

1197
01:29:34,952 --> 01:29:39,331
All right, l'll give you a secret.
l'm dismissing the Advocate.

1198
01:29:39,457 --> 01:29:41,291
- The Advocate?
- What?

1199
01:29:41,417 --> 01:29:43,668
l'm going to dismiss him from my case.

1200
01:29:43,795 --> 01:29:46,797
l'm tired of all these delays.
Hastler's done nothing.

1201
01:29:46,923 --> 01:29:49,591
- No, you can't.
- He's too old, sick or indifferent.

1202
01:29:49,717 --> 01:29:52,636
- He's not indifferent.
- He's dismissing the Advocate.

1203
01:29:52,762 --> 01:29:55,305
- Wait!
- He's dismissing the Advocate!

1204
01:29:56,099 --> 01:29:58,934
(Screams) No, Josef!

1205
01:29:59,060 --> 01:30:01,311
(Screams) You stay out!

1206
01:30:04,315 --> 01:30:05,399
Please! (Screams)

1207
01:30:06,067 --> 01:30:07,901
Leave him alone, Leni.

1208
01:30:09,821 --> 01:30:12,906
- Has she been pestering you again?
- Pestering me?

1209
01:30:13,032 --> 01:30:16,785
She finds all accused men attractive.

1210
01:30:16,911 --> 01:30:19,913
lt's a peculiarity of hers.

1211
01:30:22,166 --> 01:30:26,169
She makes up to all of them,
makes love to all of them.

1212
01:30:26,295 --> 01:30:29,089
And when l allow her to,

1213
01:30:29,215 --> 01:30:32,717
she tells me about these affairs
to amuse me.

1214
01:30:34,512 --> 01:30:37,097
All about them.

1215
01:30:37,223 --> 01:30:39,808
You came here this evening
for a specific reason?

1216
01:30:39,934 --> 01:30:42,644
Yes, to tell you
that l'm dispensing with your services.

1217
01:30:42,770 --> 01:30:44,688
We mustn't be in too much of a hurry.

1218
01:30:44,814 --> 01:30:47,566
You've done everything you can for me
and l appreciate it,

1219
01:30:47,692 --> 01:30:50,735
but more energetic steps
will have to be taken.

1220
01:30:50,862 --> 01:30:54,114
- That's a plan we can discuss.
- lt's not a plan, it's a fact.

1221
01:30:55,366 --> 01:30:57,492
How many times have l come here?
What have you done for me? Nothing.

1222
01:30:57,618 --> 01:31:01,455
How many of my clients have reached
the same point in their cases as you

1223
01:31:01,581 --> 01:31:05,584
and stood there before me
saying exactly the same things?

1224
01:31:05,710 --> 01:31:10,630
Maybe they had a reason to. They were
probably as much in the right as l am.

1225
01:31:10,756 --> 01:31:12,757
lt's true, you know.

1226
01:31:15,928 --> 01:31:20,015
Accused men...are attractive.

1227
01:31:20,141 --> 01:31:23,810
Not that being accused
makes any immediate change

1228
01:31:23,936 --> 01:31:26,730
in a man's personal appearance.

1229
01:31:28,941 --> 01:31:31,109
But if you've got the right eye
for these things,

1230
01:31:31,235 --> 01:31:34,696
you can pick out an accused man
in the largest crowd.

1231
01:31:35,740 --> 01:31:38,992
lt's just something about them.
Something...

1232
01:31:40,912 --> 01:31:42,621
..attractive.

1233
01:31:42,747 --> 01:31:44,831
lt can't be a sense of guilt.

1234
01:31:46,167 --> 01:31:49,169
You can't all be...guilty.

1235
01:31:50,421 --> 01:31:51,838
Hmm?

1236
01:31:53,216 --> 01:31:55,425
Some are more attractive than others,

1237
01:31:55,551 --> 01:31:59,846
but all are attractive,
even that wretched creature Block.

1238
01:31:59,972 --> 01:32:04,809
Let's get him in here. lt's time you
learnt how other accused men are treated.

1239
01:32:04,936 --> 01:32:06,478
Get Block in here, Leni.

1240
01:32:08,606 --> 01:32:10,690
Go and fetch Block.

1241
01:32:16,489 --> 01:32:19,824
- My decision is final.
- You'd better think about it, Josef.

1242
01:32:25,456 --> 01:32:28,250
The Advocate wants to see you.

1243
01:32:30,336 --> 01:32:32,629
- Go on.
- Oh, thank you, thank you.

1244
01:32:35,341 --> 01:32:37,300
- ls that Block?
- Yes, sir.

1245
01:32:37,426 --> 01:32:39,553
What do you want?

1246
01:32:44,141 --> 01:32:47,143
- You were sent for, weren't you?
- Yes, sir, l was.

1247
01:32:50,731 --> 01:32:54,359
- You've come at the wrong time.
- Sir, l came immediately.

1248
01:32:54,485 --> 01:32:56,486
The minute l heard my name.

1249
01:32:59,865 --> 01:33:02,242
- Do you want me to go away?
- You're here, aren't you?

1250
01:33:02,368 --> 01:33:04,452
Yes, sir, l'm here. l...

1251
01:33:05,580 --> 01:33:07,914
- Then stay.
- Yes, sir.

1252
01:33:10,001 --> 01:33:14,379
Yesterday, l saw my friend,
the third judge.

1253
01:33:14,505 --> 01:33:17,591
l managed to work the conversation
around to your case.

1254
01:33:17,717 --> 01:33:20,135
- Do you want to hear what he said?
- Oh, please.

1255
01:33:20,261 --> 01:33:24,514
ln these matters,
there are so many conflicting opinions

1256
01:33:24,640 --> 01:33:27,100
that the confusion is impenetrable.

1257
01:33:27,226 --> 01:33:32,355
At a certain point by an old tradition,
a bell must be rung.

1258
01:33:32,481 --> 01:33:34,149
Yes, a bell.

1259
01:33:34,275 --> 01:33:38,278
The judge holds that this marks
the official opening of the proceedings.

1260
01:33:39,030 --> 01:33:43,450
There are many arguments against this
opinion, but you wouldn't understand them.

1261
01:33:43,576 --> 01:33:45,201
- Sir...
- No!

1262
01:33:45,328 --> 01:33:47,329
- Who is your advocate?
- You.

1263
01:33:47,455 --> 01:33:51,082
- And beside me?
- No one, sir. No one was...

1264
01:33:51,208 --> 01:33:55,170
- Then pay no attention to anyone else.
- Fall on the floor for him if you like.

1265
01:33:55,296 --> 01:33:59,507
No, you're not to talk to me like that.
Not in front of the Advocate.

1266
01:33:59,634 --> 01:34:03,511
How dare you! How dare you!
How dare you!

1267
01:34:04,472 --> 01:34:08,016
Don't you know he's trying
to humiliate you to show off his power?

1268
01:34:08,142 --> 01:34:10,560
- Pay no attention to anyone.
- Let him go!

1269
01:34:10,686 --> 01:34:13,063
Do what your conscience tells you
is right.

1270
01:34:13,189 --> 01:34:15,607
- Let me go!
- l'm on my knees, Advocate.

1271
01:34:15,733 --> 01:34:18,443
l'm on my knees, Advocate.
l'm on my knees, sir.

1272
01:34:18,569 --> 01:34:20,487
l'm on...

1273
01:34:20,613 --> 01:34:22,614
Huh? Oh...

1274
01:34:48,349 --> 01:34:50,350
How has he been behaving today?

1275
01:34:51,352 --> 01:34:53,603
He has been quiet and hardworking.

1276
01:34:54,563 --> 01:34:56,731
What's he been doing all day?

1277
01:34:57,900 --> 01:35:02,445
l kept him locked up in the maid's room,
so he wouldn't disturb me in my work.

1278
01:35:02,571 --> 01:35:05,448
lt's where he usually stays anyway.

1279
01:35:05,574 --> 01:35:09,077
Then you can't say with your own
knowledge what he's been doing.

1280
01:35:09,203 --> 01:35:12,288
l peeked in on him now and then
through the ventilator.

1281
01:35:12,415 --> 01:35:15,333
He was kneeling all the time on his bed...

1282
01:35:16,293 --> 01:35:18,378
studying the book you let him borrow.

1283
01:35:18,504 --> 01:35:21,798
There wasn't much light,
so the way he stuck to his reading shows

1284
01:35:21,924 --> 01:35:24,300
that he does what he's told.

1285
01:35:24,427 --> 01:35:27,178
Did he understand what he was reading?

1286
01:35:27,304 --> 01:35:30,265
Well, he was following the lines
with his fingers.

1287
01:35:30,391 --> 01:35:35,103
All l could tell was he never goes
past the same page the whole day.

1288
01:35:35,896 --> 01:35:38,106
l guess the book
is very hard to understand.

1289
01:35:38,232 --> 01:35:40,108
Yes.

1290
01:35:40,234 --> 01:35:42,944
The scriptures are very difficult.

1291
01:35:43,904 --> 01:35:48,199
They're only meant to give him
a bare inkling of the complications

1292
01:35:48,325 --> 01:35:50,368
l must struggle with on his behalf.

1293
01:35:50,494 --> 01:35:54,330
- Did he read without stopping?
- Almost without stopping.

1294
01:35:54,457 --> 01:35:56,249
Once he asked me for a drink of water

1295
01:35:56,375 --> 01:35:59,127
and l handed it to him
through the ventilator.

1296
01:35:59,253 --> 01:36:02,756
Then about eight o'clock, l let him out
and gave him something to eat.

1297
01:36:02,882 --> 01:36:04,966
You're praising him too much, Leni.

1298
01:36:05,092 --> 01:36:07,719
You're making it even harder for me
to tell him the truth.

1299
01:36:08,554 --> 01:36:11,347
The judge's remarks were
by no means favourable.

1300
01:36:11,474 --> 01:36:14,058
Not favourable? How can that be?

1301
01:36:14,185 --> 01:36:16,978
He was even annoyed
when l mentioned Block's name.

1302
01:36:17,104 --> 01:36:20,315
"You're wasting your time with that man,"
he told me.

1303
01:36:20,441 --> 01:36:22,400
"His case is hopeless."

1304
01:36:22,526 --> 01:36:27,280
l refused to believe that.
"Block is most conscientious," l told him.

1305
01:36:28,199 --> 01:36:32,160
"lt's true that personally
he's rather repulsive.

1306
01:36:32,286 --> 01:36:35,121
"His manners are bad and he's dirty,

1307
01:36:35,247 --> 01:36:41,002
"but as a client," l said,
"he's beyond reproach,"

1308
01:36:41,128 --> 01:36:43,630
which was, of course,
a deliberate exaggeration.

1309
01:36:43,756 --> 01:36:45,715
And here's what the judge replied to that:

1310
01:36:45,841 --> 01:36:50,428
"Your client has a kind of low cunning.

1311
01:36:51,388 --> 01:36:56,184
"He's learned through the years
how to go on manipulating the situation.

1312
01:36:57,269 --> 01:37:00,438
"What do you think he'd say
if we were to tell him

1313
01:37:00,564 --> 01:37:06,069
"that the bell marking
the start of the proceedings...

1314
01:37:07,363 --> 01:37:09,781
"..hadn't even been rung?"

1315
01:37:09,907 --> 01:37:11,908
- l...
- Quiet there, Block!

1316
01:37:12,034 --> 01:37:15,495
Have you no shame
to behave like that in front of a client?

1317
01:37:15,621 --> 01:37:19,040
You're destroying his confidence in me.
What's wrong with you?

1318
01:37:19,166 --> 01:37:23,169
You're still alive, aren't you?
You're still under my protection.

1319
01:37:23,295 --> 01:37:26,130
l hope you realise
l'm dispensing with your services.

1320
01:37:26,257 --> 01:37:28,508
You can still change your mind
about that.

1321
01:37:28,634 --> 01:37:30,760
To be in chains...

1322
01:37:30,886 --> 01:37:33,179
is sometimes safer than to be free.

1323
01:37:37,893 --> 01:37:39,727
(He chuckles)

1324
01:37:45,401 --> 01:37:47,610
(Laughter continues)

1325
01:37:48,195 --> 01:37:50,321
- Where do you think you're going?
- Open the door.

1326
01:37:50,447 --> 01:37:52,740
- You must be crazy.
- Open the door!

1327
01:37:52,867 --> 01:37:54,868
- There's no place for you to go.
- He's crazy.

1328
01:37:54,994 --> 01:37:58,162
lf l hadn't made up my mind,
that performance would have settled it.

1329
01:37:58,289 --> 01:38:00,748
To think it was all put on for my benefit
to win me over!

1330
01:38:00,875 --> 01:38:04,127
How far do you think you could get
without him?

1331
01:38:04,253 --> 01:38:06,379
How far am l now?

1332
01:38:07,172 --> 01:38:10,425
- Not far away.
- You'd better see him.

1333
01:38:12,511 --> 01:38:15,096
- The high court judge?
- Don't be funny. Of course not.

1334
01:38:15,222 --> 01:38:19,392
l mean Titorelli. He's the official
court painter. He knows them all.

1335
01:38:19,518 --> 01:38:21,936
They all come to his studio
to sit for their portraits.

1336
01:38:22,062 --> 01:38:24,939
Nobody has more influence with the judges
than Titorelli.

1337
01:38:25,065 --> 01:38:28,401
- You really think he could help me?
- That's his profession.

1338
01:38:28,527 --> 01:38:31,279
- As much as painting, helping people.
- Unlock the door.

1339
01:38:31,405 --> 01:38:33,239
- Wait till the morning.
- Where are the keys?

1340
01:38:33,365 --> 01:38:35,825
The Advocate keeps the keys.

1341
01:38:35,951 --> 01:38:37,285
OK...

1342
01:38:38,537 --> 01:38:40,955
- Goodbye, Leni, and thanks.
- You'll be back here.

1343
01:38:41,081 --> 01:38:43,207
- No, no.
- You won't have any choice.

1344
01:38:43,334 --> 01:38:46,002
No, Leni, l've seen what it is
to be one of his clients.

1345
01:38:46,128 --> 01:38:49,923
l've seen what happened to Block.
He's not a client. He's the Advocate's dog.

1346
01:39:02,269 --> 01:39:03,937
(Whispering)

1347
01:39:04,063 --> 01:39:06,648
- E-E-Excuse me, is there a Mr Titorelli?
- Who?

1348
01:39:06,774 --> 01:39:09,067
An artist living here?

1349
01:39:09,193 --> 01:39:12,195
- Do you know the painter Titorelli?
- What do you want him for?

1350
01:39:12,321 --> 01:39:14,614
- l want him to paint my portrait.
- Your portrait?

1351
01:39:14,740 --> 01:39:15,865
(Screaming)

1352
01:39:55,447 --> 01:39:58,741
Just get in. l'll get rid of the girls.
Nasty little pests.

1353
01:39:58,867 --> 01:40:01,202
Out! l see you!

1354
01:40:01,328 --> 01:40:06,040
This is no time for your silly games!
The gentleman wants to talk business. Out!

1355
01:40:06,166 --> 01:40:07,834
Out!

1356
01:40:07,960 --> 01:40:10,211
Why can't you play
in somebody else's studio?

1357
01:40:10,337 --> 01:40:12,130
l can see you!

1358
01:40:18,595 --> 01:40:21,431
l can see you.
Don't think you're fooling Titorelli!

1359
01:40:21,557 --> 01:40:23,099
(Screaming)

1360
01:40:24,810 --> 01:40:26,602
(Whispering)

1361
01:40:28,188 --> 01:40:30,982
Out! Every last one of you!

1362
01:40:31,108 --> 01:40:33,192
Get out of my studio!

1363
01:40:34,903 --> 01:40:37,071
You really must apologise.

1364
01:40:38,032 --> 01:40:39,741
Out! Out!

1365
01:40:39,867 --> 01:40:43,411
Out! l got home late last night.
That's why everything is in such a mess.

1366
01:40:43,537 --> 01:40:46,205
Just as l was tucking myself
under the covers,

1367
01:40:46,331 --> 01:40:50,251
a dreadful little claw reaches up and
seizes me. She was under the bed waiting.

1368
01:40:50,377 --> 01:40:53,463
- Titorelli, can we come in now?
- No, you can't!

1369
01:40:53,589 --> 01:40:55,006
- Not even me?
- No!

1370
01:40:55,132 --> 01:40:58,384
l know some little pussycats
who won't be so pretty

1371
01:40:58,510 --> 01:41:00,762
when Titorelli is through with them.

1372
01:41:00,888 --> 01:41:05,349
Some dirty-minded little pussies will wish
their mums had drowned them in a bucket!

1373
01:41:05,476 --> 01:41:08,311
l'll get my ice pick.
Remember my ice pick?

1374
01:41:09,438 --> 01:41:11,439
Now what can l do for you, chum?

1375
01:41:11,565 --> 01:41:14,650
l...l thought you might be able
to give me some advice.

1376
01:41:14,777 --> 01:41:16,778
You wouldn't want to buy
one of my pictures?

1377
01:41:16,904 --> 01:41:18,654
Oh, certainly.

1378
01:41:18,781 --> 01:41:21,199
You're working on a painting now?

1379
01:41:21,325 --> 01:41:23,576
A portrait, not quite finished.

1380
01:41:23,702 --> 01:41:25,536
Oh. lt must be a judge.

1381
01:41:25,662 --> 01:41:27,997
Judges are my speciality.

1382
01:41:28,123 --> 01:41:31,584
What...what does that repre...represent?

1383
01:41:31,710 --> 01:41:34,170
You can see for yourself - justice.

1384
01:41:34,296 --> 01:41:38,966
Yes, there's the... There's the bandage
over the eyes, but aren't those...

1385
01:41:39,093 --> 01:41:41,886
Ouch! Aren't those wings there on heels?

1386
01:41:42,012 --> 01:41:44,138
My instructions were to paint it that way.

1387
01:41:44,264 --> 01:41:47,266
Flying? Justice ought to stand still,
don't you think?

1388
01:41:47,392 --> 01:41:50,394
Or the scales will waver
and a just verdict won't be possible.

1389
01:41:50,521 --> 01:41:55,358
lt's justice and the goddess of victory
combined. What does she look like to you?

1390
01:41:55,484 --> 01:41:58,903
Like the goddess of the hunt. ln full cry.

1391
01:42:00,072 --> 01:42:02,949
Titorelli, can we come in now?

1392
01:42:03,075 --> 01:42:06,494
- Nasty thing, we're busy!
- You aren't really busy.

1393
01:42:06,620 --> 01:42:11,499
You're going to paint him? Please don't
paint him. Not another one like that!

1394
01:42:11,625 --> 01:42:14,418
- These girls belong to the court.
- What?

1395
01:42:14,545 --> 01:42:18,422
Well, Joey, practically everything
belongs to the court.

1396
01:42:19,341 --> 01:42:22,051
But it's behind the scenes,
here in this very studio,

1397
01:42:22,177 --> 01:42:24,303
that's where you get your results.

1398
01:42:24,429 --> 01:42:27,140
l forgot to ask you
what kind of acquittal you want.

1399
01:42:27,266 --> 01:42:30,434
Ostensible or definite acquittal
or deferment?

1400
01:42:30,561 --> 01:42:34,480
Definite acquittal is the best,
but l can't influence that kind of verdict.

1401
01:42:34,606 --> 01:42:35,940
- Nobody can.
- Why?

1402
01:42:36,066 --> 01:42:40,111
l've never in my life heard of a case
of definite acquittal. What's wrong?

1403
01:42:40,237 --> 01:42:42,697
ls there a window,
something we can open?

1404
01:42:42,823 --> 01:42:45,116
Plenty of air comes in
through those chinks.

1405
01:42:45,242 --> 01:42:48,244
lf you want some ventilation,
open that door behind you.

1406
01:42:48,370 --> 01:42:51,122
The judge l'm painting now
always comes in by that door.

1407
01:42:51,248 --> 01:42:53,666
l've had to give him a key for it
in case l happen to be out.

1408
01:42:53,792 --> 01:42:57,628
His Honour usually arrives very early
when l'm still asleep.

1409
01:42:57,754 --> 01:43:01,924
lt's not exactly a soothing experience
to wake up in the morning and find a judge

1410
01:43:02,050 --> 01:43:06,679
all dressed up in those crazy
ceremonial robes climbing over your bed!

1411
01:43:06,805 --> 01:43:10,266
- He's taken off his jacket.
- They think l'll paint your portrait.

1412
01:43:10,392 --> 01:43:14,604
- That's why you've taken off your jacket.
- What are the other alternatives?

1413
01:43:14,730 --> 01:43:17,315
- Ah, you mean the legal alternatives?
- Yeah.

1414
01:43:17,441 --> 01:43:21,986
l told you - ostensible acquittal
or indefinite deferment.

1415
01:43:22,112 --> 01:43:25,114
- Deferment...
- What's wrong? Aren't you feeling well?

1416
01:43:26,158 --> 01:43:27,158
No...

1417
01:43:28,285 --> 01:43:30,453
Must...must...must be...

1418
01:43:30,579 --> 01:43:32,705
the heat.

1419
01:43:32,831 --> 01:43:35,625
lf l open that door,
we'll have those girls all over us.

1420
01:43:35,751 --> 01:43:38,961
- Don't do that.
- Well, now, with ostensible acquittal,

1421
01:43:39,087 --> 01:43:41,297
l write out an affidavit of your innocence

1422
01:43:41,423 --> 01:43:44,342
and make the rounds
of all the judges l know personally,

1423
01:43:44,468 --> 01:43:46,928
beginning with the one l'm painting now.

1424
01:43:47,054 --> 01:43:52,099
l explain to him that you're innocent
and myself guarantee that innocence...

1425
01:43:52,226 --> 01:43:55,436
- And if he believes you?
- As he very well might.

1426
01:43:55,562 --> 01:43:58,898
No, we mustn't be too pessimistic.

1427
01:43:59,024 --> 01:44:01,567
Some of them are bound to believe me.

1428
01:44:01,693 --> 01:44:04,153
Yes, and l'd be free?

1429
01:44:04,279 --> 01:44:06,864
Ostensibly. Ostensibly free.

1430
01:44:06,990 --> 01:44:10,201
Naturally, the judges l know
all belong to the lowest grade.

1431
01:44:10,327 --> 01:44:15,122
They haven't the power reserved to
the highest court to grant a final acquittal.

1432
01:44:15,249 --> 01:44:18,334
- The highest court?
- Chum, that court is inaccessible to you.

1433
01:44:18,460 --> 01:44:23,756
To me, to all of us. What the prospects
are up there, well, we just don't know.

1434
01:44:23,882 --> 01:44:27,051
And we don't want to know.
l'm sure you understand.

1435
01:44:27,177 --> 01:44:30,388
- No, l'm not sure that l do.
- What they can do for you

1436
01:44:30,514 --> 01:44:33,391
is to relieve you
of the burden of the charge,

1437
01:44:33,517 --> 01:44:37,645
lift it from your shoulders for a time,
but it does hover up there above you.

1438
01:44:37,771 --> 01:44:41,607
You see, in definite acquittal,
all the documents are annulled.

1439
01:44:41,733 --> 01:44:45,444
But with ostensible acquittal,
your whole dossier continues to circulate.

1440
01:44:45,570 --> 01:44:49,407
Up to the higher courts,
down to the lower ones, up again, down.

1441
01:44:49,533 --> 01:44:52,868
These oscillations and peregrinations,
you just can't figure 'em.

1442
01:44:52,995 --> 01:44:55,162
No use in trying either, l suppose.

1443
01:44:55,289 --> 01:44:57,540
- Not a hope.
- (Josef laughs)

1444
01:44:57,666 --> 01:45:00,501
l've known cases of an acquitted man
coming home from court

1445
01:45:00,627 --> 01:45:03,838
and finding the cops waiting there
to arrest him all over again.

1446
01:45:03,964 --> 01:45:07,967
But theoretically, it's always possible
to get another ostensible acquittal.

1447
01:45:08,093 --> 01:45:10,344
The second acquittal
wouldn't be final either.

1448
01:45:10,470 --> 01:45:13,139
lt's automatically followed
by the third arrest,

1449
01:45:13,265 --> 01:45:15,599
the third acquittal
by the fourth arrest...

1450
01:45:15,726 --> 01:45:17,935
And so on.

1451
01:45:18,061 --> 01:45:20,646
Do you think a deferment
would suit you any better?

1452
01:45:21,398 --> 01:45:24,900
- l couldn't really say.
- You can't overlook a case for ever.

1453
01:45:25,777 --> 01:45:27,778
Measures have to be taken.

1454
01:45:27,904 --> 01:45:33,326
Questions, interrogations, observation,
more interrogations, evidence collected.

1455
01:45:33,452 --> 01:45:37,330
- Going already?
- l'll be back to see you again very soon.

1456
01:45:37,456 --> 01:45:40,124
l'll keep you to your word,
you know, Joey.

1457
01:45:40,250 --> 01:45:43,377
Otherwise l'll call in at your office
and you wouldn't like that.

1458
01:45:43,503 --> 01:45:45,421
Unlock this door, will you?

1459
01:45:45,547 --> 01:45:49,759
You don't want to be bothered by the girls.
We'll slip you out this other way.

1460
01:45:49,885 --> 01:45:51,802
- Now, wait.
- What for?

1461
01:45:51,928 --> 01:45:53,929
Wouldn't you like to see
some of my pictures?

1462
01:45:54,056 --> 01:45:57,850
l'm sure there's at least one or two
of them you'd want to buy.

1463
01:45:57,976 --> 01:45:59,518
Here!

1464
01:46:00,354 --> 01:46:02,938
lt's modern, you know.
lt's an action painting.

1465
01:46:03,065 --> 01:46:05,191
l call it "Wild Nature - A Heath"...

1466
01:46:05,317 --> 01:46:07,818
- l'll buy it.
- Here's the companion picture.

1467
01:46:07,944 --> 01:46:10,696
- l'll take them both.
- You seem to like the subject.

1468
01:46:10,822 --> 01:46:13,991
Yes, l do. l'll...
l'll hang them in my office.

1469
01:46:14,117 --> 01:46:17,495
By a lucky chance,
l've got another on the very same theme.

1470
01:46:17,621 --> 01:46:20,706
- How much for the three?
- We'll settle that the next time.

1471
01:46:20,832 --> 01:46:24,627
Today, you're in such a hurry,
but we're going to keep in real close touch

1472
01:46:24,753 --> 01:46:27,380
with each other from now on,
aren't we, Joey boy?

1473
01:46:31,968 --> 01:46:33,969
This is the law court office.

1474
01:46:34,096 --> 01:46:35,930
That seems to surprise you.

1475
01:46:36,056 --> 01:46:38,682
l think what surprises me most
is how ignorant l am

1476
01:46:38,809 --> 01:46:41,519
about everything concerning
this court of yours.

1477
01:46:41,645 --> 01:46:44,855
For an accused man, that's a mistake.
He should never be caught napping.

1478
01:46:44,981 --> 01:46:47,066
Never for a minute
let his eyes stray to the left

1479
01:46:47,192 --> 01:46:50,861
when, for all he knows,
a judge or somebody like that

1480
01:46:50,987 --> 01:46:53,739
can be lurking a little bit to the right.

1481
01:46:53,865 --> 01:46:55,991
Oh, you...

1482
01:46:58,578 --> 01:47:01,580
l make...
l make you very uncomfortable, don't l?

1483
01:47:02,416 --> 01:47:04,917
lt distresses you
to find me in your company.

1484
01:47:05,836 --> 01:47:07,711
Yes, l've been told about that.

1485
01:47:07,838 --> 01:47:13,217
Before, l thought you took me for a judge
or at least an official of the court.

1486
01:47:13,343 --> 01:47:17,263
l even thought you were afraid of me,
but what you're feeling is pain.

1487
01:47:17,389 --> 01:47:19,765
You don't like what you see, do you?

1488
01:47:19,891 --> 01:47:21,684
lt's my mouth.

1489
01:47:21,810 --> 01:47:26,105
You think you can tell from my mouth
that l'm condemned,

1490
01:47:26,231 --> 01:47:28,023
that l'm going to be found guilty?

1491
01:47:29,192 --> 01:47:31,652
- Guilty!
- (Children's voices echo)

1492
01:47:31,778 --> 01:47:33,779
(Screaming)

1493
01:48:17,908 --> 01:48:19,909
(Screaming continues)

1494
01:48:27,000 --> 01:48:31,629
Josef K!

1495
01:48:44,017 --> 01:48:46,018
- You are Josef K?
- Yes.

1496
01:48:46,144 --> 01:48:48,270
You're an accused man?

1497
01:48:48,396 --> 01:48:51,398
- So l've been informed.
- Your case is going badly.

1498
01:48:55,946 --> 01:48:58,155
My first petition
hasn't been offered yet.

1499
01:48:58,281 --> 01:49:00,783
Your guilt is assumed to have been proved.

1500
01:49:00,909 --> 01:49:03,077
But l'm not guilty.

1501
01:49:03,995 --> 01:49:05,871
For that matter...

1502
01:49:05,997 --> 01:49:08,290
how can any man be called guilty?

1503
01:49:09,042 --> 01:49:11,919
We're all simply men here,
one as much as the other.

1504
01:49:12,045 --> 01:49:14,588
The guilty always talk like that.

1505
01:49:14,714 --> 01:49:16,799
What do you propose to do now?

1506
01:49:18,176 --> 01:49:20,886
- Get more help.
- Help?

1507
01:49:21,012 --> 01:49:23,639
There are several possibilities
l haven't explored yet.

1508
01:49:23,765 --> 01:49:26,934
You expect too much from outside help,
especially from women.

1509
01:49:27,060 --> 01:49:29,937
Women have influence.
Take that examining magistrate.

1510
01:49:30,063 --> 01:49:32,189
lf he sees a woman,
he'll climb over the bench

1511
01:49:32,315 --> 01:49:35,025
and knock down the defendant
just to get his hands on her.

1512
01:49:35,151 --> 01:49:37,903
That's an aspect of the courts
you probably don't know about.

1513
01:49:38,029 --> 01:49:40,864
Where's the door? l have to catch up
with my work at the office.

1514
01:49:41,533 --> 01:49:45,411
After all...l'm assistant manager
of my department.

1515
01:49:45,537 --> 01:49:46,537
Josef...

1516
01:49:47,205 --> 01:49:48,998
What are you doing in church?

1517
01:49:49,124 --> 01:49:51,500
Am l still in church
or is this part of the law court offices?

1518
01:49:51,626 --> 01:49:54,587
- l left my sick bed.
- Well, go back to your sick bed.

1519
01:49:54,713 --> 01:49:57,381
You don't seriously believe
you can defend yourself?

1520
01:49:57,507 --> 01:50:01,051
- Great choice. Defend myself or defy you.
- But defy the court?

1521
01:50:01,177 --> 01:50:03,012
All of you. What's this?

1522
01:50:03,138 --> 01:50:06,890
- We use these visual aids.
- Lectures and sermons.

1523
01:50:07,017 --> 01:50:11,562
Yes, how your particular delusion
is described in the writings

1524
01:50:11,688 --> 01:50:13,522
which preface the law.

1525
01:50:13,648 --> 01:50:15,858
Before the law, there stands a guard.

1526
01:50:15,984 --> 01:50:20,821
A man comes from the country
seeking admittance to the law,

1527
01:50:20,947 --> 01:50:23,949
but the guard cannot admit him.

1528
01:50:24,075 --> 01:50:26,285
Can the man hope to enter at a later time?

1529
01:50:26,411 --> 01:50:28,787
l've heard it before.
We've all heard it.

1530
01:50:28,913 --> 01:50:31,457
The man is dying of old age
still waiting there.

1531
01:50:31,583 --> 01:50:35,210
And just at the end, the guard tells him
the door was meant only for him.

1532
01:50:35,337 --> 01:50:39,256
The guard tells him,
"No one could enter this door.

1533
01:50:39,382 --> 01:50:42,343
"And now l'm going to close it."

1534
01:50:43,345 --> 01:50:45,554
Some commentators have pointed out

1535
01:50:45,680 --> 01:50:49,558
that the man came to the door
of his own free will.

1536
01:50:49,684 --> 01:50:52,186
We're supposed to swallow all that?
lt's all true?

1537
01:50:52,312 --> 01:50:56,940
We needn't accept everything as true,
only what's necessary.

1538
01:50:57,067 --> 01:51:01,695
God, what a miserable conclusion!
lt turns lying into a universal principle.

1539
01:51:01,821 --> 01:51:03,822
By attempting to defy the court

1540
01:51:03,948 --> 01:51:07,034
by such an obviously mad gesture,
you hope to plead insanity?

1541
01:51:07,160 --> 01:51:10,996
You've laid some foundation for that claim
by appearing to believe yourself

1542
01:51:11,122 --> 01:51:12,831
the victim of some kind of conspiracy.

1543
01:51:12,957 --> 01:51:16,794
- That's a symptom of lunacy, isn't it?
- Delusions of persecution.

1544
01:51:16,920 --> 01:51:19,088
- Delusions?
- Well...

1545
01:51:19,214 --> 01:51:21,799
l don't pretend to be a martyr, no.

1546
01:51:21,925 --> 01:51:25,135
Not even...a victim of society?

1547
01:51:26,680 --> 01:51:28,847
l am a member of society.

1548
01:51:29,933 --> 01:51:32,059
You think you can persuade the court

1549
01:51:32,185 --> 01:51:34,812
that you're not responsible
by reason of lunacy?

1550
01:51:34,938 --> 01:51:37,940
l think that's what the court
wants me to believe.

1551
01:51:39,150 --> 01:51:41,151
Yes, that's the conspiracy.

1552
01:51:41,277 --> 01:51:44,154
To persuade us all
that the whole world is crazy.

1553
01:51:44,280 --> 01:51:48,575
Formless, meaningless, absurd.
That's the dirty game.

1554
01:51:48,702 --> 01:51:51,662
So l've lost my case. What of it?

1555
01:51:51,788 --> 01:51:54,206
You... You're losing, too.

1556
01:51:55,208 --> 01:51:57,626
lt's all lost. Lost!

1557
01:51:57,752 --> 01:52:00,087
So what?

1558
01:52:00,213 --> 01:52:03,841
Does that sentence
the entire universe to lunacy?

1559
01:52:09,514 --> 01:52:11,348
Can't you see anything at all?

1560
01:52:11,474 --> 01:52:13,475
Of course l'm responsible.

1561
01:52:13,601 --> 01:52:15,561
My son...

1562
01:52:17,731 --> 01:52:19,732
l am not your son.

1563
01:56:18,054 --> 01:56:21,431
You expect me to take the knife
and do the job myself?

1564
01:56:21,557 --> 01:56:24,059
No, you'll have to do it.

1565
01:56:26,562 --> 01:56:41,743
You...

1566
01:56:45,289 --> 01:56:48,834
You!

1567
01:56:48,960 --> 01:56:51,878
You, you dummies!

1568
01:56:52,005 --> 01:56:55,048
You'll have to do it!
You'll have to kill me!

1569
01:56:55,174 --> 01:56:57,926
Come on, come on!
