1
00:00:48,876 --> 00:00:51,293
(ominous sounds)

2
00:01:00,793 --> 00:01:04,543
(Children's choir sings distant pioneer song
"Our homeland")

3
00:01:04,710 --> 00:01:08,376
<i>Our homeland
It's not just the cities and villages</i>

4
00:01:08,626 --> 00:01:12,585
<i>Our homeland
So are all the trees in the forest</i>

5
00:01:12,751 --> 00:01:17,293
(threatening roar)
(Children's choir continues singing)

6
00:01:17,543 --> 00:01:19,876
<i>And the grain in the field</i>

7
00:01:20,126 --> 00:01:26,126
<i>And the birds in the air
And the animals of the earth</i>

8
00:01:27,043 --> 00:01:30,210
(Chorus is drowned out by music)

9
00:01:32,085 --> 00:01:35,710
(ominous orchestral music)

10
00:01:37,376 --> 00:01:38,710
(silent scene)

11
00:01:38,960 --> 00:01:41,210
(unintelligible shouts)

12
00:01:41,460 --> 00:01:44,001
(orchestral music swells)

13
00:01:47,460 --> 00:01:50,210
(unintelligible shouts)

14
00:01:51,210 --> 00:01:53,668
Shoot! Go ahead, shoot!

15
00:01:55,251 --> 00:01:58,585
(Children's choir starts again)

16
00:01:58,835 --> 00:02:01,918
(orchestral music becomes darker)

17
00:02:02,168 --> 00:02:07,793
<i>And the birds in the air
And the animals of the earth</i>

18
00:02:08,043 --> 00:02:11,168
<i>And the fish in the river are home</i>

19
00:02:11,418 --> 00:02:14,793
(orchestral music swells)

20
00:02:15,043 --> 00:02:18,126
<i>And we love our homeland, the beautiful one</i>

21
00:02:18,376 --> 00:02:21,960
<i>And we protect them
Because it belongs to the people</i>

22
00:02:22,126 --> 00:02:26,876
<i>Because it belongs to our people</i>

23
00:02:27,043 --> 00:02:29,876
(song ends)
(applause)

24
00:02:39,126 --> 00:02:44,043
- Clap properly, this is your son.
- Yes, and he's really having fun too.

25
00:02:44,210 --> 00:02:46,751
Thank you, children. Thanks.

26
00:02:47,001 --> 00:02:49,918
- You can sing along next time.
- Watch out.

27
00:02:50,085 --> 00:02:55,043
- I can make myself a new son.
- Maybe he'll laugh at your jokes.

28
00:02:55,210 --> 00:02:56,710
Goethe already said,

29
00:02:56,876 --> 00:02:59,626
you should do it every day
hear a beautiful song,

30
00:02:59,793 --> 00:03:01,460
read a poem,

31
00:03:01,626 --> 00:03:03,835
see an excellent painting

32
00:03:04,001 --> 00:03:06,543
and speak a sensible word.

33
00:03:07,085 --> 00:03:12,293
We can put it more briefly with Lenin.
"Learn, learn, learn again."

34
00:03:12,460 --> 00:03:17,210
Today you will join the community
of adults recorded.

35
00:03:17,460 --> 00:03:20,251
- With all rights...
- He immediately raises his finger.

36
00:03:20,501 --> 00:03:22,293
...but also with duties!

37
00:03:22,460 --> 00:03:25,460
The society
will demand more from you.

38
00:03:25,626 --> 00:03:29,085
Like you
could always rely on us,

39
00:03:29,251 --> 00:03:31,835
we will rely on you now.

40
00:03:32,543 --> 00:03:37,043
Whether with a hammer, a stethoscope,
the sickle or the weapon in the hand.

41
00:03:37,210 --> 00:03:39,543
For peace and socialism.

42
00:03:39,710 --> 00:03:42,585
This little blue thing
is of great value.

43
00:03:42,835 --> 00:03:46,418
Not only can you do that
Order beer in every pub,

44
00:03:46,585 --> 00:03:51,001
but you are from now on
also responsible for your own actions.

45
00:03:51,168 --> 00:03:55,001
And be sure,
we won't let you out of our sight.

46
00:03:55,251 --> 00:03:57,293
- I'm reassured about that.
- Shh...

47
00:03:57,460 --> 00:04:00,085
I now ask the 8th grade,

48
00:04:00,710 --> 00:04:04,251
to the socialist oath of loyalty
to raise.

49
00:04:08,751 --> 00:04:10,251
Are you ready

50
00:04:10,501 --> 00:04:14,585
as young citizens
the German Democratic Republic

51
00:04:14,835 --> 00:04:17,626
for the great and noble cause
of socialism

52
00:04:17,793 --> 00:04:19,668
to fight and work...

53
00:04:19,835 --> 00:04:21,835
(threatening drumbeats)

54
00:04:22,001 --> 00:04:27,085
...and the revolutionary achievements
to protect the people, so answers...

55
00:04:27,251 --> 00:04:29,418
(in chorus) Yes, we vow.

56
00:04:29,585 --> 00:04:32,585
(drum beats swell)

57
00:04:37,918 --> 00:04:39,918
(drum beats fade away)

58
00:04:43,210 --> 00:04:46,251
(Radio announcer) <i>The Soviet Union...</i>

59
00:04:46,418 --> 00:04:50,293
That was a nice speech from Meissner.
He always does that well.

60
00:04:50,460 --> 00:04:52,251
And sung well.

61
00:04:52,668 --> 00:04:55,376
Oh!
We are so lucky with the weather!

62
00:04:55,543 --> 00:04:57,668
(speaker) <i>The prospects...</i>

63
00:04:58,376 --> 00:05:01,210
(pop music)
Ooh! Listen, the old man!

64
00:05:01,460 --> 00:05:02,668
Mmm!

65
00:05:03,543 --> 00:05:07,710
(Frank Schöbel sings
"I'm going from the North Pole to the South Pole on foot")

66
00:05:08,668 --> 00:05:10,543
And when are you leaving?

67
00:05:12,251 --> 00:05:14,835
- What?
- Well, it's almost the holidays!

68
00:05:15,085 --> 00:05:17,793
- Oh, um...
- We're going abroad.

69
00:05:18,043 --> 00:05:20,335
Bulgaria, Black Sea.

70
00:05:20,501 --> 00:05:22,293
At its finest.

71
00:05:22,543 --> 00:05:26,376
- Haven't you booked yet?
- It's just not that easy.

72
00:05:26,626 --> 00:05:29,335
So now I'm starting to get angry.

73
00:05:30,001 --> 00:05:34,793
Then you come over and say:
"Erik, I want a trip."

74
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:36,668
And then I ask: “Where to?”

75
00:05:36,918 --> 00:05:39,585
And you say? Yes, say something!

76
00:05:39,751 --> 00:05:42,418
Well, come on,
Where would you like to go?

77
00:05:42,585 --> 00:05:44,335
Yeah, I don't know either.

78
00:05:44,501 --> 00:05:47,043
Come on, say something really difficult.

79
00:05:47,710 --> 00:05:52,001
Berlin, capital
the German Democratic Republic.

80
00:05:52,668 --> 00:05:56,501
- Hmm? What do you say?
- Well, Berlin would be something nice.

81
00:05:56,751 --> 00:05:57,751
Well, do you see?

82
00:05:57,918 --> 00:06:01,543
A call to the comrades
from the travel agency, and hey presto,

83
00:06:01,793 --> 00:06:05,876
sits the Strelzyk family
in the Hotel Stadt Berlin.

84
00:06:06,126 --> 00:06:09,126
And not on the tour group floor.
At the top.

85
00:06:09,293 --> 00:06:12,210
You can look at West Berlin there.
Or, Beate?

86
00:06:12,460 --> 00:06:13,960
Yes.

87
00:06:14,126 --> 00:06:16,585
I also always have binoculars with me.

88
00:06:17,376 --> 00:06:20,960
(Schöbel sings) <i>For a kiss
For a kiss</i>

89
00:06:21,585 --> 00:06:24,085
<i>I walk from the North Pole to the South Pole</i>

90
00:06:24,251 --> 00:06:27,043
(Child) These are my balloons!
Give it here!

91
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,001
(song ends abruptly)

92
00:06:33,168 --> 00:06:37,126
On behalf of the State Security Service
Thanks for taking me with you.

93
00:06:37,293 --> 00:06:41,043
- I couldn't have driven anymore.
- No problem, Mr. Baumann.

94
00:06:41,210 --> 00:06:43,960
- Oh man, look at the Trommers.
- Hello.

95
00:06:44,126 --> 00:06:46,085
- Do you have any plans yet?
- Yes.

96
00:06:46,251 --> 00:06:50,168
- Maybe another time.
- From today... I'm Erik.

97
00:06:57,793 --> 00:06:59,585
Really a powerful gift.

98
00:07:00,335 --> 00:07:03,126
- Lovely couple.
- I like your new watch too.

99
00:07:03,293 --> 00:07:06,126
Have a look! They're flying to the West!

100
00:07:08,543 --> 00:07:10,960
That's what's called an airspace violation!

101
00:07:11,126 --> 00:07:14,126
But don't worry.
It's still just balloons!

102
00:07:14,293 --> 00:07:17,293
(menacing buzzing)

103
00:07:21,460 --> 00:07:25,251
(quietly) The wind has changed.
We have to go to Günter immediately.

104
00:07:26,668 --> 00:07:28,918
Fitscher, we'll be back soon.

105
00:07:29,168 --> 00:07:32,251
- Are you still coming to us?
- Yes! Come over with me!

106
00:07:32,418 --> 00:07:34,418
- Nice idea.
- Today is a celebration.

107
00:07:34,668 --> 00:07:38,126
- This is coming now...
- Don't be a spoilsport, Peter.

108
00:07:38,293 --> 00:07:40,585
- Not on a day like this.
- Where are you going?

109
00:07:40,835 --> 00:07:44,210
We have to go to the train station.
The mother-in-law comes.

110
00:07:44,460 --> 00:07:47,210
- Maybe later.
- I'll take you at your word.

111
00:07:53,168 --> 00:07:57,876
- Have you seen my new watch yet?
- There's a stopwatch in there!

112
00:07:58,918 --> 00:08:01,210
I also want one of these for my youth consecration.

113
00:08:02,126 --> 00:08:05,168
Ready, set, go!

114
00:08:08,668 --> 00:08:10,543
The risk is too great.

115
00:08:11,626 --> 00:08:12,918
What?

116
00:08:19,335 --> 00:08:21,751
Tell me, Günter, are you kidding me now?

117
00:08:22,168 --> 00:08:24,126
That won't work.

118
00:08:26,668 --> 00:08:29,835
Wait a minute, Günter,
you planned this thing.

119
00:08:30,001 --> 00:08:34,001
That was your idea!
The balloon is ready in our basement!

120
00:08:34,251 --> 00:08:38,168
I calculated it again.
It's too dangerous.

121
00:08:38,876 --> 00:08:43,710
Guys, come on! For weeks
let's wait for the right wind!

122
00:08:43,876 --> 00:08:48,001
The balloon is not big enough.
It's too small for eight people.

123
00:08:49,710 --> 00:08:52,085
That can't be true.

124
00:08:52,251 --> 00:08:54,001
And your sick mother...

125
00:08:54,876 --> 00:08:57,085
You wanted to go over to her.

126
00:08:57,251 --> 00:09:00,251
I know
but the children are still so small.

127
00:09:00,501 --> 00:09:03,085
If something were to happen to them...

128
00:09:04,626 --> 00:09:06,918
We can't risk that.

129
00:09:08,668 --> 00:09:12,293
Believe me, Peter,
the thing doesn't carry us all.

130
00:09:15,001 --> 00:09:17,210
Yes, and now?

131
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:21,918
We'll stay here.

132
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,085
Is it possible for four?

133
00:09:42,751 --> 00:09:46,335
- Yes. It could work with four people.
- Oh god...

134
00:09:46,585 --> 00:09:48,293
What will become of you then?

135
00:09:48,543 --> 00:09:52,793
- (Child) We're back!
- Günter, we're breaking off contact.

136
00:09:53,043 --> 00:09:56,043
Otherwise you'll get problems.
No calls, no letters.

137
00:09:56,210 --> 00:09:58,668
- Dad!
- Well, Peter? How was it?

138
00:09:58,835 --> 00:10:01,501
We flew kites!

139
00:10:01,668 --> 00:10:03,585
- Hello. Do you have visitors?
- day.

140
00:10:03,751 --> 00:10:07,710
- These are friends. Doris, Peter.
- I am his evil stepfather.

141
00:10:07,876 --> 00:10:11,668
- We were just about to leave.
- Oh, he always says that.

142
00:10:11,835 --> 00:10:15,126
- I made sauerbraten.
- The best in the world.

143
00:10:15,293 --> 00:10:18,376
Thanks, but we have to go.
Youth consecration and all that.

144
00:10:18,543 --> 00:10:20,043
Petra.

145
00:10:28,418 --> 00:10:30,001
Good luck.

146
00:10:36,376 --> 00:10:38,793
(threatening sounds)

147
00:10:43,251 --> 00:10:46,126
(exuberant shouts, laughter)

148
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,210
- "Go to prison."
- Ha!

149
00:10:59,710 --> 00:11:01,793
Hey, it's just a game.

150
00:11:07,251 --> 00:11:09,751
- And? Is it starting?
- Frank!

151
00:11:10,001 --> 00:11:12,710
- What's going on?
- Please go to your room.

152
00:11:12,876 --> 00:11:15,668
- What is...
- We need to talk to Frank.

153
00:11:15,918 --> 00:11:18,418
- But why...
- Fitscher, let's go upstairs.

154
00:11:18,585 --> 00:11:21,501
Man!
Then I won't tell you anything more.

155
00:11:27,043 --> 00:11:28,960
What's going on now?

156
00:11:29,626 --> 00:11:31,335
They don't take part anymore.

157
00:11:31,501 --> 00:11:33,126
What? How come?

158
00:11:33,376 --> 00:11:36,001
We do it alone. Tonight.

159
00:11:36,251 --> 00:11:38,626
Real? Without Günter?

160
00:11:38,876 --> 00:11:41,251
We hear the weather report at six.

161
00:11:41,418 --> 00:11:43,543
I pull up and check the wind.

162
00:11:43,710 --> 00:11:45,751
Until then we'll pack.

163
00:11:47,168 --> 00:11:49,501
Then I'll change, right?

164
00:11:58,085 --> 00:11:59,876
We're doing the right thing.

165
00:12:00,043 --> 00:12:02,835
promise,
that nothing happens to the children.

166
00:12:03,001 --> 00:12:04,585
Trust me.

167
00:12:10,876 --> 00:12:13,335
(quiet girls' voices)

168
00:12:17,085 --> 00:12:19,168
(melancholic sounds)

169
00:12:44,251 --> 00:12:46,085
(clock is ticking)

170
00:12:46,251 --> 00:12:48,251
(dark sounds)

171
00:13:08,168 --> 00:13:10,168
I'm sorry about before.

172
00:13:11,418 --> 00:13:14,085
But it should be a surprise.

173
00:13:14,793 --> 00:13:17,793
- We're going camping tonight.
- Really?

174
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,168
- Where, then?
- Into the forest.

175
00:13:21,835 --> 00:13:24,251
- I'll get Fitscher.
- Is good.

176
00:13:30,293 --> 00:13:34,751
- Can I take my bike with me?
- You can't drive in the forest at night.

177
00:13:35,001 --> 00:13:37,501
But! So completely BMX-like over the roots!

178
00:13:48,876 --> 00:13:51,376
(menacing buzzing)

179
00:13:54,876 --> 00:13:57,376
(ominous sounds)

180
00:14:30,918 --> 00:14:32,960
What are you doing there?

181
00:14:34,376 --> 00:14:36,085
Well, clean.

182
00:14:41,543 --> 00:14:43,626
Doris, we're not coming back.

183
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:53,418
As a child I went to summer camp
cried into the pillow every night.

184
00:14:56,418 --> 00:14:59,043
I was so incredibly homesick.

185
00:15:03,293 --> 00:15:07,251
That was the case for the others
two days over, but for me only...

186
00:15:07,876 --> 00:15:09,835
when I was back home.

187
00:15:12,626 --> 00:15:14,960
(emotional music)

188
00:15:23,418 --> 00:15:25,335
Where are you staying then?

189
00:15:25,501 --> 00:15:27,501
We still cleaned up.

190
00:15:27,668 --> 00:15:30,501
Nobody wants me
call a bad housewife.

191
00:15:33,251 --> 00:15:35,710
(threatening sounds)

192
00:15:38,460 --> 00:15:41,085
(dark music)

193
00:15:55,585 --> 00:15:57,501
(Doris) Keep going.

194
00:16:07,876 --> 00:16:09,793
Stupid bums.

195
00:16:10,251 --> 00:16:11,751
Shit.

196
00:16:13,543 --> 00:16:16,001
(Honecker on TV) <i>Our armed forces</i>

197
00:16:16,168 --> 00:16:19,293
<i>are all provocations
of the class enemy...</i>

198
00:16:19,543 --> 00:16:24,626
- Paul's son was drafted.
- Maybe they'll forget Günter.

199
00:16:24,793 --> 00:16:28,876
- I'm not that lucky.
- They forgot Werner too.

200
00:16:29,043 --> 00:16:32,793
Ingrid, he forgot
and that's where they picked him up.

201
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:36,043
- Who?
- The one from the military patrol.

202
00:16:36,210 --> 00:16:40,043
Early in the morning at six
they banged on his door.

203
00:16:40,293 --> 00:16:43,501
- Your sister said.
- I didn't notice.

204
00:16:43,668 --> 00:16:49,001
If you have an important job,
you might not get drafted.

205
00:16:49,168 --> 00:16:51,376
I'm an ambulance driver.

206
00:16:51,543 --> 00:16:54,585
Just because she has him
Don't let me study physics.

207
00:16:54,835 --> 00:16:58,293
He was five,
when his father went over.

208
00:16:59,043 --> 00:17:01,710
- (Child) <i>Mom!</i>
- I'll go.

209
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:03,626
<i>- Mom!</i>
- Yes!

210
00:17:03,793 --> 00:17:05,293
I'm coming with you.

211
00:17:05,460 --> 00:17:10,501
(speaker on TV) <i>The pilots
it's an honor</i>

212
00:17:10,751 --> 00:17:12,293

214
00:17:17,293 --> 00:17:19,585

215
00:17:34,001 --> 00:17:36,335
(oppressive music)

216
00:17:41,585 --> 00:17:44,126
(Music swells ominously)

217
00:17:47,876 --> 00:17:50,085
(music stops)

218
00:17:50,251 --> 00:17:52,751
Your mother is worried about you.

219
00:17:52,918 --> 00:17:55,418
- Me too.
- You don't have to.

220
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:03,335
Your mother has the most beautiful smile,
if you are well.

221
00:18:05,376 --> 00:18:10,210
So you have an obligation
to make sure you are happy.

222
00:18:11,126 --> 00:18:14,168
People don't want anything
who love you, more.

223
00:18:15,918 --> 00:18:17,918
Are you happy then?

224
00:18:21,001 --> 00:18:23,168
Of course I'm happy.

225
00:18:23,335 --> 00:18:26,751
I have my house,
a small garden,

226
00:18:26,918 --> 00:18:29,501
I have your mother, I have you.

227
00:18:30,918 --> 00:18:32,835
I didn't want anything more.

228
00:18:34,085 --> 00:18:36,585
But you don't have to want the same thing.

229
00:18:38,626 --> 00:18:41,085
You still have your life ahead of you.

230
00:18:44,876 --> 00:18:46,751
Not a word to your mother.

231
00:18:48,001 --> 00:18:50,501
I've never heard you talk like that before.

232
00:18:50,668 --> 00:18:52,668
It doesn't happen anymore either.

233
00:18:57,210 --> 00:18:59,460
(threatening sounds)

234
00:19:31,626 --> 00:19:34,126
- What are you doing?
- That's the surprise.

235
00:19:34,376 --> 00:19:37,668
- I thought we were going camping.
- That's much better.

236
00:19:37,918 --> 00:19:40,001
With that we fly to the West.

237
00:19:41,126 --> 00:19:43,835
What if the soldiers shoot at us?

238
00:19:44,376 --> 00:19:47,793
- Over there you can get a BMX bike.
- Really?

239
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:49,085
Promised.

240
00:19:49,335 --> 00:19:51,835
(suspenseful music)

241
00:19:52,085 --> 00:19:54,335
- (Peter) Let's go.
- (Doris) Get in.

242
00:19:55,001 --> 00:19:57,001
Hold tight to the ropes.

243
00:19:59,835 --> 00:20:01,918
You won't let go, understand?

244
00:20:02,168 --> 00:20:04,126
Looks good!

245
00:20:09,668 --> 00:20:11,168
- Ready?
- (Frank) Yes.

246
00:20:11,335 --> 00:20:13,293
One two three.

247
00:20:15,751 --> 00:20:19,626
- Mom, I want to go out again.
- It's all ok. It will definitely be fun.

248
00:20:20,501 --> 00:20:22,876
One two three!

249
00:20:23,126 --> 00:20:25,626
(Music swells ominously)

250
00:20:27,626 --> 00:20:29,626
(music fades away)

251
00:20:46,793 --> 00:20:49,001
Frank? Are you stopping time?

252
00:21:00,043 --> 00:21:02,793
(tense buzzing)

253
00:21:09,293 --> 00:21:10,793
Everything good?

254
00:21:15,293 --> 00:21:18,210
- Almost 300.
- We are so bright.

255
00:21:19,460 --> 00:21:21,918
You can see us from miles away.

256
00:21:25,085 --> 00:21:27,293
Yes, we have to go higher.

257
00:21:27,460 --> 00:21:29,293
Through the clouds.

258
00:22:02,918 --> 00:22:05,960
- (shaking) I'm cold.
- Come here.

259
00:22:07,126 --> 00:22:09,210
How high are we now?

260
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,668
- 1700.
- And the flight time?

261
00:22:15,251 --> 00:22:16,335
14 minutes.

262
00:22:18,043 --> 00:22:20,376
Then we have half, roughly.

263
00:22:21,585 --> 00:22:24,043
Let me know if we sink.

264
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:26,835
Mom, I'm scared.

265
00:22:31,085 --> 00:22:34,835
When I was your age,
I lay down on a meadow

266
00:22:35,001 --> 00:22:37,376
and looked at the clouds in the sky.

267
00:22:38,168 --> 00:22:39,876
Once there was a cloud

268
00:22:40,043 --> 00:22:43,043
that looked
like a giant prancing horse.

269
00:22:44,293 --> 00:22:48,710
I wished
that it carries me wherever I want.

270
00:22:49,376 --> 00:22:51,710
And look where we are now.

271
00:22:51,876 --> 00:22:53,668
In the middle of a cloud.

272
00:22:56,501 --> 00:23:00,126
Someone else should say,
Dreams don't come true.

273
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:08,835
Something is dripping.

274
00:23:16,168 --> 00:23:20,293
This is the high humidity.
Definitely comes from the cloud.

275
00:23:21,251 --> 00:23:24,001
Is the fabric waterproof?

276
00:23:26,460 --> 00:23:30,126
When he fills himself up,
It's going to be pretty difficult, isn't it?

277
00:23:32,626 --> 00:23:34,793
What is the altitude now?

278
00:23:35,668 --> 00:23:36,960
1700.

279
00:23:38,793 --> 00:23:40,210
Not higher?

280
00:23:44,418 --> 00:23:46,126
It hangs.

281
00:23:52,585 --> 00:23:54,501
Shit. We're sinking!

282
00:23:56,543 --> 00:23:58,793
800. 700!

283
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,251
We're coming down way too fast!

284
00:24:04,585 --> 00:24:06,585
There is the limit!

285
00:24:06,751 --> 00:24:08,751
Are we over it yet?

286
00:24:09,501 --> 00:24:11,126
(Frank) 600!

287
00:24:14,793 --> 00:24:16,626
Holy crap!

288
00:24:18,418 --> 00:24:21,793
- That's all.
- The pipes are frozen.

289
00:24:24,751 --> 00:24:27,376
- What are you doing?
- We have to thaw them.

290
00:24:34,918 --> 00:24:36,751
Matches, quickly!

291
00:24:36,918 --> 00:24:40,251
- (screams out)
- Dad! Do we have to die now?

292
00:24:40,418 --> 00:24:42,751
- Go faster!
- Again!

293
00:24:42,918 --> 00:24:46,168
Again! Do it again!

294
00:24:46,335 --> 00:24:48,501
It's not working.

295
00:24:50,126 --> 00:24:52,835
(music stops)
(Doris screams)

296
00:24:56,543 --> 00:24:59,251
(Peter groans loudly)
(loud rumbling)

297
00:25:00,668 --> 00:25:02,501
Everyone OK?

298
00:25:02,918 --> 00:25:04,335
Frank? Doris?

299
00:25:04,585 --> 00:25:06,043
- (Doris) Everything is fine.
- Yes?

300
00:25:06,293 --> 00:25:09,085
- (Doris) Does something hurt you?
- (Fitscher) Nope.

301
00:25:09,251 --> 00:25:11,918
Come here. Come here.
(quiet sobs)

302
00:25:12,168 --> 00:25:13,793
Coming.

303
00:25:15,126 --> 00:25:17,876
(dark sounds)

304
00:25:19,668 --> 00:25:21,251
It's over.

305
00:25:23,251 --> 00:25:26,543
- (Doris) It's over... Shh...
- (Fitscher) Where are we?

306
00:25:26,793 --> 00:25:28,751
How long were we in the air?

307
00:25:29,876 --> 00:25:32,335
32 minutes. Is that enough?

308
00:25:34,543 --> 00:25:36,001
Should.

309
00:25:41,043 --> 00:25:43,251
(dark sounds)

310
00:26:00,001 --> 00:26:03,626
Just a few meters
and we would have done it.

311
00:26:07,876 --> 00:26:09,460
And now?

312
00:26:10,668 --> 00:26:14,418
- What if they find us?
- Let's get out of there quickly.

313
00:26:14,668 --> 00:26:17,126
Back to the starting point.

314
00:26:17,293 --> 00:26:19,585
That's at least ten kilometers.

315
00:26:19,751 --> 00:26:22,251
Alarm wires could be anywhere here.

316
00:26:23,418 --> 00:26:26,335
We have to wait until it gets light.

317
00:26:34,168 --> 00:26:37,085
(ominous sounds)

318
00:26:54,043 --> 00:26:56,668
(menacing buzzing)

319
00:27:07,126 --> 00:27:09,543
(dark music)

320
00:27:33,668 --> 00:27:36,626
(suspenseful music)

321
00:27:59,251 --> 00:28:01,168
A tow truck.

322
00:28:01,335 --> 00:28:03,460
They discovered our car.

323
00:28:19,793 --> 00:28:21,960
We have to get rid of this stuff.

324
00:28:48,043 --> 00:28:51,460
(engine sputters and falls silent)

325
00:28:53,585 --> 00:28:55,626
(starter croaks)

326
00:28:56,793 --> 00:28:58,710
(engine starts)

327
00:29:03,043 --> 00:29:06,085
(oppressive music)

328
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,085
(music stops)

329
00:29:48,585 --> 00:29:50,668
(dark roar)

330
00:30:55,585 --> 00:30:57,585
(music fades away)

331
00:31:25,585 --> 00:31:27,293
(kettle whistles)

332
00:31:29,376 --> 00:31:33,918
(Doris) We had a huge pig.
What madness.

333
00:31:34,085 --> 00:31:38,793
- That nothing worse happened!
- We have to keep our nerve.

334
00:31:39,043 --> 00:31:42,876
- We remember how to move on.
- We're not going any further.

335
00:31:44,626 --> 00:31:48,418
- But we were almost there!
- It's over, Peter!

336
00:31:48,585 --> 00:31:50,668
That's it!

337
00:31:53,001 --> 00:31:54,501
We keep our feet still.

338
00:31:55,126 --> 00:31:57,335
You're going to school tomorrow,
we at work.

339
00:31:57,585 --> 00:32:01,710
Nobody shows anything.
At some point grass will grow over it.

340
00:32:04,585 --> 00:32:07,501
So I get
Not a BMX bike now, right?

341
00:32:12,501 --> 00:32:14,626
(doorbell)

342
00:32:14,793 --> 00:32:17,626
(threatening sounds)

343
00:32:22,835 --> 00:32:24,710
(doorbell again)

344
00:32:32,543 --> 00:32:34,543
I hope we're not disturbing you.

345
00:32:35,626 --> 00:32:37,793
We wanted to ask about your home

346
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:41,460
for the 30th anniversary of the Republic
would decorate.

347
00:32:42,293 --> 00:32:43,793
Do you have a flag?

348
00:32:44,460 --> 00:32:47,376
If not, no problem.
You get them from us.

349
00:32:57,126 --> 00:32:59,460
(martial music)

350
00:33:15,293 --> 00:33:18,251
Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, Lieutenant Strehle.

351
00:33:18,418 --> 00:33:21,293
- This is your border section?
- Yes indeed!

352
00:33:21,460 --> 00:33:25,751
Do you wake up in the morning to something like this?
I want to have your sleep.

353
00:33:26,918 --> 00:33:28,918
(music stops)

354
00:33:42,626 --> 00:33:44,960
- Solidly built.
- Mmm.

355
00:33:47,668 --> 00:33:49,835
How long has this been here?

356
00:33:50,251 --> 00:33:53,960
Not long.
The grass under the platform is fresh.

357
00:33:54,126 --> 00:33:55,918
Tonight, I guess.

358
00:33:56,710 --> 00:33:59,501
The tablets here were lying next to the gondola.

359
00:34:00,210 --> 00:34:02,168
To the medical service.

360
00:34:02,335 --> 00:34:05,210
The rest
for forensic investigation.

361
00:34:05,376 --> 00:34:07,293
- The whole balloon?
- Everything.

362
00:34:08,085 --> 00:34:11,376
And the entire surrounding area
from 500 meters.

363
00:34:11,543 --> 00:34:14,626
I want,
that every scrap is documented.

364
00:34:14,793 --> 00:34:19,043
- If necessary, rabbit shit too.
- Yes, comrade lieutenant colonel.

365
00:34:19,210 --> 00:34:21,251
An area search company.

366
00:34:21,501 --> 00:34:24,710
- Can the gas bottles be traced?
- No.

367
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:29,043
The production numbers have been removed.
They weren't stupid.

368
00:34:30,460 --> 00:34:32,335
What a hassle.

369
00:34:36,126 --> 00:34:39,001
200 meters further
and they would have been over there.

370
00:34:39,168 --> 00:34:41,835
They will
bitten in the ass.

371
00:34:42,793 --> 00:34:46,460
Why do we leave them?
Don't just walk, huh?

372
00:34:49,376 --> 00:34:52,210
If they think
that they will be happy over there?

373
00:34:57,043 --> 00:35:00,918
Don't you think so?
Have you already asked, Comrade Lieutenant?

374
00:35:02,001 --> 00:35:04,918
Honestly no,
Comrade Lieutenant Colonel.

375
00:35:05,085 --> 00:35:08,418
Yes, you can ask yourself,
don't you think?

376
00:35:08,585 --> 00:35:11,418
Any illegal border crossing
is prevented.

377
00:35:11,668 --> 00:35:13,751
Yes, I know the command.

378
00:35:13,918 --> 00:35:18,668
But what have we done to the people,
that they develop such criminal energy?

379
00:35:19,293 --> 00:35:21,543
We just want justice.

380
00:35:21,710 --> 00:35:24,210
Humanity, a better world...

381
00:35:25,335 --> 00:35:29,251
We can be happy,
when the enemies of socialism leave.

382
00:35:29,418 --> 00:35:32,001
When we get rid of the rabble, right?

383
00:35:34,001 --> 00:35:36,918
- Is this a serious question now?
- Yes.

384
00:35:37,543 --> 00:35:39,918
Surely you have an opinion.

385
00:35:41,668 --> 00:35:43,751
Please give your opinion.

386
00:35:51,543 --> 00:35:53,210
Can you see it?

387
00:35:53,918 --> 00:35:55,668
Not that easy.

388
00:35:58,835 --> 00:36:01,085
Where would we be without this border?

389
00:36:01,626 --> 00:36:03,960
It makes us who we are.

390
00:36:04,543 --> 00:36:07,376
Anyone who questions them
questions us.

391
00:36:08,293 --> 00:36:10,335
You and me.

392
00:36:11,585 --> 00:36:15,210
Let's hope that one
Your guard saw what.

393
00:36:16,376 --> 00:36:19,210
Because I'm taking this thing
very personal.

394
00:36:20,835 --> 00:36:23,085
Me too, Comrade Lieutenant Colonel.

395
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:26,126
Good.

396
00:36:27,626 --> 00:36:30,126
(menacing music)

397
00:36:34,126 --> 00:36:37,001
<i>They could have started from anywhere.</i>

398
00:36:38,501 --> 00:36:41,835
<i>- In every small clearing.
- This continues here.</i>

399
00:36:42,085 --> 00:36:45,293
<i>200 kilometers
to the Czechoslovakian border.</i>

400
00:36:46,418 --> 00:36:49,835
<i>Who would have thought
that we have so much beautiful forest.</i>

401
00:36:56,001 --> 00:36:58,085
(music stops)

402
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:11,293
Well?

403
00:37:13,376 --> 00:37:16,668
just wanted to look
whether everything is okay with you.

404
00:37:16,835 --> 00:37:18,835
Is everything ok?

405
00:37:19,001 --> 00:37:21,293
Yes. Everything's fine.

406
00:37:22,085 --> 00:37:24,668
- How come?
- Well...

407
00:37:25,251 --> 00:37:27,835
You didn't come yesterday.

408
00:37:28,710 --> 00:37:30,210
Then I thought,

409
00:37:30,376 --> 00:37:33,293
something happened
with the mother-in-law.

410
00:37:34,835 --> 00:37:36,668
Where is she then?

411
00:37:39,501 --> 00:37:41,376
Yes, he's not feeling well at all.

412
00:37:42,043 --> 00:37:44,126
It tipped over at the train station.

413
00:37:44,793 --> 00:37:47,960
We had to drive her to the polyclinic
to Gera.

414
00:37:48,126 --> 00:37:50,376
We sat there for hours.

415
00:37:51,793 --> 00:37:54,626
- That's not how you imagined it.
- Nope.

416
00:37:54,793 --> 00:37:57,001
What's wrong with your hands?

417
00:37:58,585 --> 00:38:00,168
Slipped.

418
00:38:01,043 --> 00:38:03,376
Sometimes everything comes at once.

419
00:38:07,168 --> 00:38:09,793
Now I have to ask you something.

420
00:38:11,626 --> 00:38:13,501
You're such a hobbyist.

421
00:38:14,626 --> 00:38:17,251
- I would call it electrician.
- Exactly.

422
00:38:21,418 --> 00:38:24,918
We have a new television.
Color. Great picture.

423
00:38:25,668 --> 00:38:29,126
But on some channels
is the reception somehow...

424
00:38:30,668 --> 00:38:31,960
not so good.

425
00:38:33,918 --> 00:38:35,543
Do you want to look at West?

426
00:38:37,251 --> 00:38:39,543
Is there anything you can do about it?

427
00:38:39,710 --> 00:38:43,501
You're definitely looking
also like “Charlie’s Angels”.

428
00:38:44,668 --> 00:38:48,210
Yes, you just need a PAL converter
clamp behind the antenna.

429
00:38:48,376 --> 00:38:51,210
Then the three angels get really hot.

430
00:38:52,876 --> 00:38:55,835
Can you come over when you get a chance?

431
00:38:57,251 --> 00:38:58,460
Sure, of course.

432
00:39:00,210 --> 00:39:01,751
Great.

433
00:39:12,210 --> 00:39:15,001
Actually you should
not lying, right?

434
00:39:19,835 --> 00:39:22,001
Clear. Lying sucks.

435
00:39:23,043 --> 00:39:25,668
Then why are you lying to me?
on all the time?

436
00:39:27,376 --> 00:39:29,418
How do you come up with that now?

437
00:39:30,210 --> 00:39:32,876
Yes, you never tell me the truth.

438
00:39:39,501 --> 00:39:42,210
Watch out, Fitscher,
that with the truth...

439
00:39:42,376 --> 00:39:44,918
is sometimes a bit complicated.

440
00:39:47,751 --> 00:39:51,501
The truth is,
that they are not allowed to be said here.

441
00:39:52,251 --> 00:39:54,001
Here, in our country.

442
00:39:57,668 --> 00:40:01,126
- You know, there are rights.
- That's not what I mean.

443
00:40:21,626 --> 00:40:24,335
And about Czechoslovakia or Hungary?

444
00:40:24,501 --> 00:40:27,293
Other people have done it too.

445
00:40:27,460 --> 00:40:30,251
The four of us can't
in the trunk.

446
00:40:32,501 --> 00:40:34,626
And the West German representation?

447
00:40:34,793 --> 00:40:37,710
It is better guarded
than the US Embassy.

448
00:40:38,793 --> 00:40:40,668
Then we'll try it there.

449
00:40:40,835 --> 00:40:43,793
The Americans are coming
politically persecuted people out.

450
00:40:45,918 --> 00:40:49,543
We would have to make it
to contact them.

451
00:41:03,168 --> 00:41:05,793
(emotional piano sounds)

452
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:09,418
An old mother
speaks to a people's police officer:

453
00:41:09,585 --> 00:41:14,710
"I'm looking for the department store principle."
"Principle? It doesn't exist here."

454
00:41:14,876 --> 00:41:17,085
“Yes!” says the mother.

455
00:41:17,251 --> 00:41:19,918
"State Council Chairman Honecker
said,

456
00:41:20,085 --> 00:41:22,418
In principle you can buy anything."

457
00:41:26,001 --> 00:41:30,126
If you tell the wrong people something like that,
this is very dangerous.

458
00:41:32,085 --> 00:41:35,376
But I told you about it,
because I trust you.

459
00:41:35,793 --> 00:41:37,835
And you can trust us.

460
00:41:39,293 --> 00:41:43,335
We didn't tell you everything,
because we wanted to protect you.

461
00:41:44,126 --> 00:41:46,001
Do you understand that?

462
00:42:03,168 --> 00:42:05,210
(dark sounds)

463
00:42:16,668 --> 00:42:18,251
Is everything OK?

464
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:20,626
The medication.

465
00:42:21,210 --> 00:42:23,043
What about it?

466
00:42:23,210 --> 00:42:25,168
I have the...

467
00:42:25,335 --> 00:42:27,668
...the bag with the medication...

468
00:42:28,335 --> 00:42:30,585
...I must have gotten lost in the forest.

469
00:42:32,293 --> 00:42:34,210
Is your name on it?

470
00:42:35,251 --> 00:42:37,335
No, they are numbered.

471
00:42:37,585 --> 00:42:42,293
You can trace that back.
They will check every recipe.

472
00:42:44,418 --> 00:42:47,918
We have
our fingerprints on the gondola.

473
00:42:49,126 --> 00:42:51,376
We shouldn't have done that.

474
00:42:51,918 --> 00:42:54,085
What kind of parents are we?

475
00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:57,793
Doris, we are not bad parents.

476
00:42:57,960 --> 00:42:59,960
We were just unlucky!

477
00:43:00,585 --> 00:43:02,460
Bad luck? Bad luck?

478
00:43:04,668 --> 00:43:09,168
- That was irresponsible!
- It's irresponsible to stay here.

479
00:43:09,335 --> 00:43:14,835
- The boys should grow up in freedom!
- We almost killed the children!

480
00:43:15,085 --> 00:43:16,918
- We had a dream!
- I trusted you!

481
00:43:17,085 --> 00:43:19,751
- Our dream!
- Do you know what I dream?

482
00:43:19,918 --> 00:43:23,710
For weeks, almost every night?
That they take my children away from me.

483
00:43:23,876 --> 00:43:28,876
My brother was sent to prison when he was 14.
After that he no longer had any teeth!

484
00:43:29,043 --> 00:43:31,418
That's exactly why we want to leave!

485
00:43:31,585 --> 00:43:33,918
What do you think they're doing to us?

486
00:43:34,085 --> 00:43:36,376
They make us disappear.

487
00:43:36,626 --> 00:43:38,918
Fitscher put them in the home.

488
00:43:39,085 --> 00:43:41,876
I don't want to lose my children.

489
00:43:43,626 --> 00:43:45,960
(she cries loudly)

490
00:43:46,460 --> 00:43:48,710
(Fitscher) I don't want to go to the home.

491
00:43:51,460 --> 00:43:55,043
Come here, my sparrow.
You don't have to be afraid.

492
00:43:55,293 --> 00:43:57,501
We'll take care of you.

493
00:43:58,918 --> 00:44:02,293
Don't worry.
Nobody comes into the home here.

494
00:44:05,168 --> 00:44:07,043
We'll get through this.

495
00:44:23,793 --> 00:44:26,126
- Morning, Doris.
- Morning.

496
00:44:28,585 --> 00:44:30,626
Everything OK?

497
00:44:32,543 --> 00:44:35,043
The children are a little sick.

498
00:44:37,251 --> 00:44:41,251
- I didn't sleep a wink.
- Oh, poor thing.

499
00:44:42,543 --> 00:44:43,918
Mocha beans?

500
00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:52,001
You can remain seated.

501
00:45:09,001 --> 00:45:11,168
It's much better here, isn't it?

502
00:45:11,335 --> 00:45:13,960
It doesn't always have to be the interrogation room.

503
00:45:19,501 --> 00:45:22,460
congratulations,
They'll soon be done with the army.

504
00:45:23,501 --> 00:45:25,918
Thank you, Comrade Lieutenant Colonel.

505
00:45:26,835 --> 00:45:29,210
Probably want to study?

506
00:45:31,418 --> 00:45:33,918
Then something like this, shortly before you were released...

507
00:45:35,918 --> 00:45:37,960
Just that I understand that correctly.

508
00:45:38,126 --> 00:45:41,793
You call your supervisor
and need binoculars.

509
00:45:43,210 --> 00:45:45,876
Exactly. I saw something in the sky.

510
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:48,376
Mmm.

511
00:45:50,460 --> 00:45:53,251
Why did you?
no own binoculars?

512
00:45:55,001 --> 00:45:57,335
- So...
- Yes, it can happen.

513
00:45:57,501 --> 00:45:59,210
You can also leave it lying there.

514
00:46:00,251 --> 00:46:03,335
And you?
Why didn't you give him one?

515
00:46:05,668 --> 00:46:07,210
Closing time?

516
00:46:07,376 --> 00:46:08,835
Quitting time?

517
00:46:09,543 --> 00:46:12,335
Already thinking about your new girlfriend?

518
00:46:15,751 --> 00:46:18,460
Maybe you can't tell by looking at me

519
00:46:18,710 --> 00:46:20,710
but I used to be a swimmer.

520
00:46:21,460 --> 00:46:26,085
During my studies I...
earns something extra as a lifeguard.

521
00:46:26,710 --> 00:46:29,001
There was this colleague,

522
00:46:29,168 --> 00:46:31,668
tanned, good looking,

523
00:46:31,835 --> 00:46:33,501
such a very laid back guy.

524
00:46:34,085 --> 00:46:36,126
And one day

525
00:46:36,293 --> 00:46:38,751
he was a bit too loose.

526
00:46:41,710 --> 00:46:46,460
And what do you say to your parents?
if your eight-year-old child drowned?

527
00:46:50,876 --> 00:46:52,960
"I was tired."?

528
00:47:07,918 --> 00:47:10,918
I marked it. Read aloud.

529
00:47:14,543 --> 00:47:16,210
"It is your duty,

530
00:47:16,376 --> 00:47:19,793
Your lone fighting skills
to use this way,

531
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:24,126
that you catch the border violator
or liquidate,

532
00:47:24,293 --> 00:47:27,418
about the planned border violation
to thwart.

533
00:47:27,668 --> 00:47:30,126
Act carefully and consistently,

534
00:47:30,293 --> 00:47:34,168
there the practice
proves the danger of traitors.

535
00:47:34,418 --> 00:47:36,835
Don't hesitate with the firearm,

536
00:47:37,001 --> 00:47:40,710
not even when breaking through borders
with women and children,

537
00:47:40,876 --> 00:47:43,835
what the traitors do
often make use of it."

538
00:47:46,418 --> 00:47:48,585
You know your tasks.

539
00:47:49,085 --> 00:47:53,585
They know how to act in case
of border provocation.

540
00:47:54,626 --> 00:47:56,543
You're not stupid.

541
00:47:57,543 --> 00:47:59,501
Yes, Comrade Lieutenant Colonel.

542
00:47:59,668 --> 00:48:03,626
Nevertheless, you have the message
of Private Klenner ignored.

543
00:48:06,460 --> 00:48:09,918
Because you
knew about the planned border breach?

544
00:48:10,335 --> 00:48:12,460
No, I had no idea.

545
00:48:12,626 --> 00:48:14,751
Or was he just lazy?

546
00:48:18,168 --> 00:48:22,001
- So...
- If it was aid, say so now.

547
00:48:22,251 --> 00:48:25,001
- We'll find out anyway.
- No.

548
00:48:25,668 --> 00:48:28,126
- Why, I have...
- Step away.

549
00:48:38,751 --> 00:48:40,751
Comrades non-commissioned officers?

550
00:48:44,126 --> 00:48:45,960
Do you see, comrades?

551
00:48:46,918 --> 00:48:48,668
That's exactly what I mean.

552
00:48:50,543 --> 00:48:52,043
Discharge.

553
00:48:59,626 --> 00:49:01,626
(TV noises)

554
00:49:02,251 --> 00:49:05,335
(speaker) <i>“Europe internally”
is the keyword...</i>

555
00:49:05,501 --> 00:49:07,251
There! There it is!

556
00:49:07,418 --> 00:49:11,876
She has red hair!
She looked brunette in black and white.

557
00:49:12,043 --> 00:49:15,960
- Ahh. Yes. Everything is pretty colorful.
- Yes, right?

558
00:49:17,626 --> 00:49:20,710
When the ceiling falls on your head,
come over

559
00:49:20,876 --> 00:49:23,376
and we watch the hot three angels.

560
00:49:23,543 --> 00:49:25,543
You're good with me, Peter.

561
00:49:27,626 --> 00:49:31,085
Oh, Eric? I almost forgot.

562
00:49:31,918 --> 00:49:35,543
You did
told by the comrades in the travel agency.

563
00:49:35,710 --> 00:49:37,335
Is the offer still available?

564
00:49:40,293 --> 00:49:42,585
Where are we going, huh?

565
00:49:43,751 --> 00:49:46,001
(driving music)

566
00:49:52,001 --> 00:49:56,293
The seams have been
manufactured with professional machines.

567
00:49:56,460 --> 00:50:00,335
We identify all companies
where such machines are located.

568
00:50:00,501 --> 00:50:03,043
The comrades have calculated

569
00:50:03,293 --> 00:50:07,126
that the balloon no longer
was in the air for more than 40 minutes.

570
00:50:07,376 --> 00:50:09,876
Due to the wind conditions

571
00:50:10,126 --> 00:50:13,251
they have to
started in this area.

572
00:50:13,501 --> 00:50:16,585
I assume
the entire area is searched?

573
00:50:16,835 --> 00:50:20,251
Well, it's huge.
There are around 100 clearings...

574
00:50:25,043 --> 00:50:28,543
- What else?
- The truck that was seen at night.

575
00:50:28,793 --> 00:50:31,751
- Could have driven her.
- Issue the search.

576
00:50:32,001 --> 00:50:35,210
- And the fabric shops?
- We'll get the list today.

577
00:50:35,460 --> 00:50:39,001
Maybe bring us
the thyroid tablets continue.

578
00:50:39,251 --> 00:50:43,543
<i>According to medical services
the woman is between 30 and 40 years old,</i>

579
00:50:43,710 --> 00:50:45,710
<i>may be overweight</i>

580
00:50:45,876 --> 00:50:49,751
<i>and could be a scar
have a thyroid operation on the neck.</i>

581
00:50:49,918 --> 00:50:52,126
(dark sounds)

582
00:50:55,668 --> 00:50:58,126
(emphatic music)

583
00:51:12,668 --> 00:51:14,710
(music stops)

584
00:51:24,126 --> 00:51:26,335
- Man!
- (Peter) Strong.

585
00:51:26,835 --> 00:51:28,710
Not bad.

586
00:51:28,876 --> 00:51:33,043
- Have a look!
- We'll write him a card for that.

587
00:51:33,293 --> 00:51:37,835
- (Frank) And how do we find the message?
- As inconspicuous as possible.

588
00:51:42,501 --> 00:51:44,751
Is that the West over there?

589
00:51:45,210 --> 00:51:46,668
Yes.

590
00:51:46,835 --> 00:51:48,793
Pretty close, right?

591
00:51:55,585 --> 00:51:57,960
(suspenseful music)

592
00:52:41,001 --> 00:52:43,418
(silent scene)

593
00:52:52,876 --> 00:52:54,585
(music stops)

594
00:52:54,835 --> 00:52:57,168
Here, very close.

595
00:52:59,918 --> 00:53:02,751
"We are being followed.
Please help us."

596
00:53:02,918 --> 00:53:06,168
"Interhotel Stadt Berlin, room 3507."

597
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:10,751
You can't just
Walk into the American embassy.

598
00:53:10,918 --> 00:53:14,085
They have a kind of library.
Anyone can go in there.

599
00:53:14,251 --> 00:53:18,251
We don't speak to anyone
but we leave the box behind.

600
00:53:19,460 --> 00:53:21,543
Why don't we just call?

601
00:53:22,751 --> 00:53:25,168
The message is guaranteed to be intercepted.

602
00:53:25,418 --> 00:53:29,793
And you believe the Americans
Then come here and pick us up?

603
00:53:31,585 --> 00:53:33,126
Yes.

604
00:53:38,501 --> 00:53:40,460
(inaudible)

605
00:53:48,835 --> 00:53:50,668
Just keep going.

606
00:54:07,460 --> 00:54:10,585
Shit, they control people
that come out.

607
00:54:16,626 --> 00:54:19,126
It's swarming with Stasi people here.

608
00:54:21,751 --> 00:54:24,043
They're watching us.

609
00:54:25,710 --> 00:54:27,210
Wait a minute...

610
00:54:28,835 --> 00:54:32,210
We are totally wrong here!
Let's see.

611
00:54:35,085 --> 00:54:37,376
-You know what I mean?
-I know...

612
00:54:39,626 --> 00:54:41,626
- Give me the box.
- What?

613
00:54:41,876 --> 00:54:43,460
The box.

614
00:54:46,418 --> 00:54:48,376
- Distracts him.
- Frank.

615
00:54:48,543 --> 00:54:50,210
- Frank!
- Come with me.

616
00:54:50,460 --> 00:54:53,043
(exciting sounds)

617
00:54:57,751 --> 00:54:59,085
Hello?

618
00:55:00,376 --> 00:55:04,251
- Could you help us?
- We want to go to the Pergamon Museum.

619
00:55:04,501 --> 00:55:07,626
There you go here
along Clara-Zetkin-Strasse.

620
00:55:09,460 --> 00:55:12,251
To the end, and then left.

621
00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:15,043
(speak English)

622
00:55:19,460 --> 00:55:21,293
In which direction?

623
00:55:30,626 --> 00:55:33,751
- How long do you walk there?
- Ten, fifteen minutes.

624
00:55:33,918 --> 00:55:36,085
- Thank you very much.
- Thanks.

625
00:55:38,585 --> 00:55:39,751
Come on.

626
00:55:40,918 --> 00:55:42,751
- That way.
- We're inside.

627
00:55:42,918 --> 00:55:45,335
- You're crazy!
- It worked!

628
00:55:45,501 --> 00:55:48,585
- That was awesome!
- We have a warrior here.

629
00:55:48,751 --> 00:55:50,876
I don't know if I like this.

630
00:55:51,501 --> 00:55:53,501
(siren wails)

631
00:55:54,376 --> 00:55:56,335
(unintelligible mumbling)

632
00:55:56,501 --> 00:55:58,501
By then the coffee will be gone.

633
00:55:58,668 --> 00:56:01,210
- Especially the apricots.
- Earlier...

634
00:56:01,376 --> 00:56:03,835
I hope he doesn't reach the border.

635
00:56:04,001 --> 00:56:07,710
- Imagine if he had to shoot.
- Oh! Head up!

636
00:56:07,876 --> 00:56:11,293
- Time goes by very quickly.
- What kind of balloon?

637
00:56:11,460 --> 00:56:15,251
There are some there
tried with a hot air balloon.

638
00:56:15,418 --> 00:56:19,418
- Really?
- Came down just before the border.

639
00:56:19,585 --> 00:56:22,210
I don't know if they caught them.

640
00:56:22,376 --> 00:56:26,376
Well, they're getting moldy now
in a damp stasis cellar.

641
00:56:26,543 --> 00:56:28,126
(Ingrid) Hmm?

642
00:56:30,168 --> 00:56:31,501
Yes.

643
00:56:35,043 --> 00:56:37,043
(clock is ticking)

644
00:56:49,793 --> 00:56:52,793
(Petra whispers)
Should we drive by their place?

645
00:56:55,876 --> 00:57:00,210
If they were caught,
their house is turned upside down.

646
00:57:00,626 --> 00:57:03,335
And we run straight into their arms.

647
00:57:04,168 --> 00:57:06,460
We said no contact.

648
00:57:06,626 --> 00:57:09,543
Not knowing what's going on,
drives me crazy.

649
00:57:09,710 --> 00:57:12,251
These are our friends.
They'll keep it tight.

650
00:57:12,418 --> 00:57:15,876
I don't mean that.
What if they crashed?

651
00:57:17,835 --> 00:57:22,876
- Maybe they did it after all.
- Word would have gotten around long ago.

652
00:57:24,251 --> 00:57:27,168
We shouldn't have let her go.

653
00:57:30,335 --> 00:57:32,251
I'm so scared.

654
00:57:54,251 --> 00:57:56,793
- Won!
- How?

655
00:57:56,960 --> 00:58:00,710
Well, like that, like that, like that, like that and so.

656
00:58:01,335 --> 00:58:04,501
(laughing) Come on again.

657
00:58:10,585 --> 00:58:12,918
(oppressive music)

658
00:58:27,335 --> 00:58:29,376
(there is a knock)

659
00:58:32,001 --> 00:58:34,210
(Man) Room Service!

660
00:58:36,460 --> 00:58:38,001
Moment.

661
00:58:49,335 --> 00:58:51,418
(dramatic music)

662
00:58:52,585 --> 00:58:54,335
Peter! Peter!

663
00:58:55,710 --> 00:58:57,293
Get out!

664
00:59:01,085 --> 00:59:03,376
(screams) No!

665
00:59:08,751 --> 00:59:10,876
(phone rings)

666
00:59:12,751 --> 00:59:14,793
(breathes heavily)

667
00:59:24,376 --> 00:59:25,710
Hello?

668
00:59:28,585 --> 00:59:30,085
Hello?

669
00:59:30,251 --> 00:59:32,335
- (Man) <i>Mr Strelzyk?</i>
- Yes?

670
00:59:32,501 --> 00:59:36,126
<i>Here at reception
something has been delivered for you.</i>

671
00:59:37,210 --> 00:59:39,001
I'm coming down.

672
00:59:40,043 --> 00:59:41,626
You stay here.

673
00:59:42,293 --> 00:59:43,710
You too.

674
00:59:44,376 --> 00:59:46,168
Be careful.

675
00:59:50,251 --> 00:59:52,751
(menacing music)

676
01:00:25,751 --> 01:00:28,751
(Russian babble of voices)

677
01:00:29,001 --> 01:00:30,960
(man speaks English)

678
01:00:31,751 --> 01:00:33,251
Sorry.

679
01:00:37,418 --> 01:00:39,793
(suspenseful music)

680
01:00:57,168 --> 01:00:58,668
'sorry.

681
01:00:59,501 --> 01:01:00,835
Uh!

682
01:01:10,043 --> 01:01:12,085
Have you received our message?

683
01:01:13,543 --> 01:01:16,501
The cigarette pack. That was us.

684
01:01:17,210 --> 01:01:18,876
The cigarettes.

685
01:01:24,751 --> 01:01:27,835
Right there.
There you go, buddy. You can keep 'em.

686
01:01:28,585 --> 01:01:30,835
- Come on.
- This one's driving me nuts.

687
01:01:31,793 --> 01:01:33,793
(dark sounds)

688
01:01:47,210 --> 01:01:50,376
Sorry, Strelzyk.
What was given here?

689
01:01:50,543 --> 01:01:52,293
Yes, Mr. Strelzyk.

690
01:01:53,251 --> 01:01:55,626
Her wallet was by the phone.

691
01:01:55,793 --> 01:01:58,293
You were lucky again.

692
01:02:08,251 --> 01:02:10,626
(emotional piano sounds)

693
01:02:30,251 --> 01:02:32,585
(quietly) Don't blame yourself.

694
01:02:38,210 --> 01:02:40,085
We were so close.

695
01:02:42,876 --> 01:02:45,501
- We were so close.
- I know.

696
01:02:49,210 --> 01:02:51,293
Just a few kilometers further.

697
01:02:52,335 --> 01:02:54,001
Or half.

698
01:02:56,293 --> 01:02:58,376
300, 400 meters.

699
01:03:02,251 --> 01:03:05,960
Why could I do that thing
no longer stay in the air?

700
01:03:12,251 --> 01:03:14,668
That wasn't your fault.

701
01:03:15,376 --> 01:03:17,251
(he sobs)

702
01:03:19,126 --> 01:03:24,085
So far everything in my life has
Whatever I set out to do somehow worked out.

703
01:03:31,210 --> 01:03:33,710
(sobbing) And now this.

704
01:03:36,960 --> 01:03:39,210
The most important thing in my life.

705
01:03:41,960 --> 01:03:43,835
You and the children.

706
01:03:48,876 --> 01:03:52,043
(crying) I failed.
I totally failed.

707
01:03:52,293 --> 01:03:53,793
Peter, no...

708
01:03:54,793 --> 01:03:56,626
(calming) Sh...

709
01:03:58,793 --> 01:04:01,001
(Peter cries quietly)

710
01:04:11,543 --> 01:04:14,210
But we flew, Dad.

711
01:04:14,918 --> 01:04:17,876
- You didn't fail.
- Yes?

712
01:04:18,126 --> 01:04:19,835
You got us up there.

713
01:04:20,001 --> 01:04:23,501
Without the wetness of the clouds
we would have made it.

714
01:04:32,668 --> 01:04:34,418
And now?

715
01:04:34,668 --> 01:04:37,876
Do we want to wait
until the Stasi is at the door?

716
01:04:38,501 --> 01:04:41,376
We could
build another balloon.

717
01:04:42,501 --> 01:04:44,460
Yes. Why not?

718
01:04:44,710 --> 01:04:48,543
We don't have that much time.
It took us two years.

719
01:04:48,793 --> 01:04:51,001
But now we know how to do it.

720
01:04:53,918 --> 01:04:57,335
- We can't do it without Günter.
- Then we'll ask him!

721
01:04:57,501 --> 01:04:59,835
They wanted to leave too.

722
01:05:01,585 --> 01:05:03,751
We just have to make it bigger.

723
01:05:05,960 --> 01:05:07,793
Maybe they're right.

724
01:05:10,835 --> 01:05:14,043
You don't want to
get into a balloon again.

725
01:05:14,210 --> 01:05:16,335
No, I really don't want to.

726
01:05:18,085 --> 01:05:20,001
But I'm afraid we have to.

727
01:05:22,793 --> 01:05:26,626
We don't have tent nylon, but we do have taffeta fabric.
How much do you need?

728
01:05:26,793 --> 01:05:28,418
(Peter) 200 meters.

729
01:05:29,710 --> 01:05:32,085
Oh, I'll have to ask the warehouse.

730
01:05:37,793 --> 01:05:40,918
That's at least 200 meters of taffeta.

731
01:05:41,793 --> 01:05:43,085
Clear.

732
01:05:44,210 --> 01:05:46,501
(ominous sounds)

733
01:05:54,751 --> 01:05:56,418
- Let's go.
- How come?

734
01:05:56,585 --> 01:05:59,085
Come on, come on. Come on.

735
01:06:10,835 --> 01:06:14,251
- What was that?
- She didn't have to ask in the warehouse.

736
01:06:14,418 --> 01:06:16,251
The material was lying around there.

737
01:06:16,418 --> 01:06:20,085
They have to report
if someone buys larger quantities.

738
01:06:20,251 --> 01:06:24,043
Then we get smaller quantities.
Ten meters, 20 meters.

739
01:06:24,293 --> 01:06:28,376
- Then we won't be ready for Christmas.
- We can split up.

740
01:06:28,543 --> 01:06:31,585
If we each one after the other
Buy 20 meters,

741
01:06:31,835 --> 01:06:33,585
that's not noticeable.

742
01:06:33,835 --> 01:06:35,293
Petra and Günter too.

743
01:06:35,543 --> 01:06:38,335
By far
can we go to the same stores.

744
01:06:39,793 --> 01:06:41,460
Yes...

745
01:06:41,626 --> 01:06:43,918
We probably have no other choice.

746
01:06:56,710 --> 01:07:00,668
Report from Berlin.
A family wanted to buy 200 yards of taffeta.

747
01:07:00,835 --> 01:07:03,710
But then suddenly they disappeared.

748
01:07:04,460 --> 01:07:06,543
They want to try again.

749
01:07:07,210 --> 01:07:10,251
What... you mean, a second balloon?

750
01:07:10,960 --> 01:07:13,168
You can't be that stupid.

751
01:07:13,585 --> 01:07:15,085
Don't be stupid.

752
01:07:16,293 --> 01:07:18,126
But desperate.

753
01:07:19,460 --> 01:07:23,085
They start making mistakes.
That makes it easier for us.

754
01:07:23,251 --> 01:07:25,626
- You could come from Berlin.
- Nope.

755
01:07:25,876 --> 01:07:28,960
They come from the area down there.
They know their stuff.

756
01:07:29,210 --> 01:07:33,043
That's why they take it
the shortest route south.

757
01:07:33,918 --> 01:07:36,668
For this they need north wind.
That's rare.

758
01:07:37,668 --> 01:07:40,043
You have to be able to react immediately.

759
01:07:40,960 --> 01:07:43,043
(menacing music)

760
01:07:44,001 --> 01:07:46,043
(music fades away)

761
01:07:51,126 --> 01:07:52,710
Oh God!

762
01:07:52,876 --> 01:07:55,210
(whispers) Come in, come in.

763
01:07:58,251 --> 01:08:01,793
So, the balloon works.
He flew!

764
01:08:01,960 --> 01:08:06,668
You say the balloon could catch fire.
If we run out of gas, we'll crash.

765
01:08:06,835 --> 01:08:09,460
Is there also something
what could calm me down?

766
01:08:09,626 --> 01:08:12,251
Yes. They can't shoot us down.

767
01:08:12,418 --> 01:08:14,210
We are too high for that.

768
01:08:14,376 --> 01:08:15,835
(laughs)

769
01:08:16,001 --> 01:08:18,460
That's what you say to a woman who is afraid of heights.

770
01:08:18,626 --> 01:08:22,376
Petra, if you join in,
then we can do it.

771
01:08:22,543 --> 01:08:24,585
They drafted me.

772
01:08:25,210 --> 01:08:26,918
- From when?
- In six weeks.

773
01:08:27,168 --> 01:08:30,626
- He's not even allowed out on weekends.
- We have to accelerate.

774
01:08:30,876 --> 01:08:33,335
I can't sew through every night.

775
01:08:33,585 --> 01:08:37,418
Günter, the Stasi is after us.
They don't give up.

776
01:08:38,085 --> 01:08:40,335
Sooner or later they'll get us.

777
01:08:45,168 --> 01:08:48,710
All right then.
I could take sick leave.

778
01:08:48,876 --> 01:08:51,626
Then I'll get the thing
maybe sewn.

779
01:08:51,793 --> 01:08:55,501
But the chance
on the right wind is zero.

780
01:08:58,335 --> 01:09:00,835
If necessary, you'll have to leave without me.

781
01:09:03,585 --> 01:09:08,001
- I'm not leaving without you...
- I have to report to the barracks.

782
01:09:08,168 --> 01:09:10,960
If I don't show up,
pick me up.

783
01:09:11,626 --> 01:09:14,710
At least you would be
and then the little ones over there.

784
01:09:15,835 --> 01:09:18,126
You might see your mother.

785
01:09:19,543 --> 01:09:21,918
But I can't do it without you.

786
01:09:25,960 --> 01:09:29,043
We use
Umbrella silk and tent nylon.

787
01:09:29,210 --> 01:09:31,668
We can't get too heavy.

788
01:09:42,543 --> 01:09:44,626
Did you want to build an airplane?

789
01:09:44,876 --> 01:09:47,293
- That's not the problem.
- What then?

790
01:09:47,543 --> 01:09:49,793
The runway.

791
01:09:49,960 --> 01:09:52,501
Here.
I had already figured that out.

792
01:09:52,751 --> 01:09:57,251
For the new balloon we need 4200 m³,
that means 1300 m² of fabric.

793
01:09:57,501 --> 01:10:00,335
<i>Enough for that
the fabric shops here don't.</i>

794
01:10:00,585 --> 01:10:02,960
<i>Buy seven, twelve
or 15 meters at a time.</i>

795
01:10:03,210 --> 01:10:06,501
<i>The less I have to chop,
the faster it goes.</i>

796
01:10:06,668 --> 01:10:10,751
<i>With luck we'll get the propeller
for the blower to run again.</i>

797
01:10:11,001 --> 01:10:13,335
<i>We have to take care of the burner.</i>

798
01:10:13,585 --> 01:10:16,043
<i>We have to solve the gas pressure problem.</i>

799
01:10:16,293 --> 01:10:18,460
<i>And we need a new gondola.</i>

800
01:10:19,460 --> 01:10:21,835
(driving music)

801
01:10:41,835 --> 01:10:43,460
(silent scene)

802
01:10:45,876 --> 01:10:48,085
(silent scene)

803
01:10:53,793 --> 01:10:56,543
(Music continues playing)

804
01:11:08,001 --> 01:11:09,293
(silent scene)

805
01:11:28,085 --> 01:11:30,626
(silent scene)

806
01:11:40,460 --> 01:11:42,626
(music ends)

807
01:11:42,876 --> 01:11:45,418
- How thick is the floor now?
- 0.8mm.

808
01:11:45,585 --> 01:11:47,085
(shocked) 0.8?

809
01:11:47,251 --> 01:11:49,501
- That will never last us.
- Of course it works.

810
01:11:49,668 --> 01:11:51,501
You can jump.

811
01:11:52,376 --> 01:11:54,418
- (encouraging) Yes!
- (screams)

812
01:11:54,585 --> 01:11:56,668
- That lasts.
- Yes, that lasts!

813
01:11:58,668 --> 01:12:00,835
(metallic clatter)

814
01:12:13,501 --> 01:12:15,168
Are you coming with me?

815
01:12:15,835 --> 01:12:18,251
Fly a kite?

816
01:12:19,918 --> 01:12:23,668
- I'm actually busy.
- Is it that important?

817
01:12:26,043 --> 01:12:28,501
Well, I have to help my father.

818
01:12:29,585 --> 01:12:31,960
- Build something.
- What are you building?

819
01:12:32,585 --> 01:12:36,293
- A surprise for my mother.
- You can't do it alone.

820
01:12:37,043 --> 01:12:39,335
Just take a little break.

821
01:12:49,668 --> 01:12:52,543
Where do you want to go?
We have to finish.

822
01:12:52,710 --> 01:12:56,793
- We're just going to go kite flying for a moment.
- I'll be back soon!

823
01:13:06,585 --> 01:13:08,876
(quiet music)

824
01:13:09,043 --> 01:13:11,918
- Done.
- I'll start running then, right?

825
01:13:12,710 --> 01:13:13,835
Mmm.

826
01:13:18,876 --> 01:13:19,876
Suffices!

827
01:13:21,460 --> 01:13:23,293
Come on!

828
01:13:31,585 --> 01:13:32,793
Craziness.

829
01:13:34,043 --> 01:13:36,043
Do you want to hold him?

830
01:13:36,210 --> 01:13:37,876
Do you want to kiss me?

831
01:13:39,001 --> 01:13:40,085
What?

832
01:13:45,668 --> 01:13:48,043
(ominous sounds)

833
01:14:00,126 --> 01:14:02,210
(menacing music)

834
01:14:18,543 --> 01:14:20,251
(Man) I don't give a shit!

835
01:14:20,418 --> 01:14:23,460
Over 300 people on duty
and you're talking about sewing machines!

836
01:14:23,626 --> 01:14:25,335
Find these bandits!

837
01:14:30,251 --> 01:14:34,168
At least we have now
Support right up to the Politburo.

838
01:14:34,418 --> 01:14:36,960
Resources are there. We need time.

839
01:14:37,126 --> 01:14:39,626
We don't have that.
The old man is right.

840
01:14:39,876 --> 01:14:44,251
If they can do that,
we stand there with our pants down.

841
01:14:44,418 --> 01:14:47,210
Then our asshole becomes
to the national coat of arms.

842
01:14:47,835 --> 01:14:50,876
I have my career
presented differently.

843
01:14:51,043 --> 01:14:54,043
Let's enjoy the capital,
as long as we can.

844
01:15:09,168 --> 01:15:12,751
- Damned!
- Why can't we keep the pressure?

845
01:15:13,001 --> 01:15:17,043
- Because the bottles freeze.
- Then we have to heat them.

846
01:15:17,293 --> 01:15:21,085
- We cannot connect a heater.
- (sighs)

847
01:15:21,251 --> 01:15:25,126
- I can't think of anything else.
- Your thoughts are elsewhere too.

848
01:15:26,376 --> 01:15:29,085
- You don't mean Klara, do you?
- But.

849
01:15:29,251 --> 01:15:31,293
The water is up to our necks.

850
01:15:31,543 --> 01:15:33,251
- I can probably...
- Nope!

851
01:15:33,501 --> 01:15:36,460
- Your father is with the Stasi!
- There's nothing she can do about it!

852
01:15:39,376 --> 01:15:43,293
You won't meet her again.
Did you understand?

853
01:15:57,043 --> 01:15:58,960
(quiet hissing)

854
01:16:05,085 --> 01:16:07,293
- Wait a minute.
- What?

855
01:16:08,293 --> 01:16:10,335
That's it!

856
01:16:10,751 --> 01:16:13,335
We simply turn the bottles upside down.

857
01:16:13,501 --> 01:16:18,043
- Then the gas comes out in liquid form.
- It doesn't matter, it evaporates immediately.

858
01:16:19,793 --> 01:16:23,835
At the bottom the gas is liquid and freezes.
That's why there's no pressure.

859
01:16:24,001 --> 01:16:27,001
That's how it swims
the liquid gas comes out from the bottom.

860
01:16:27,168 --> 01:16:31,626
This gives us a bigger flame,
because the gas has more pressure.

861
01:16:43,251 --> 01:16:45,168
- Is open.
- Good.

862
01:16:49,876 --> 01:16:51,668
(laugh enthusiastically)

863
01:16:51,918 --> 01:16:54,043
(unintelligible shouts)

864
01:16:54,293 --> 01:16:57,960
- Yes! We made it! Yes!
- Yes!

865
01:16:58,210 --> 01:17:00,501
(atmospheric music)

866
01:17:12,751 --> 01:17:15,960
(Fitscher) And if it's us
not liked in the West?

867
01:17:16,918 --> 01:17:20,585
Then we can't do it anymore
back home, right?

868
01:17:22,751 --> 01:17:25,126
We will definitely like it.

869
01:17:28,126 --> 01:17:30,710
I will miss my friends.

870
01:17:31,210 --> 01:17:35,085
And we will be grandma and grandpa too
never see you again, right?

871
01:17:37,418 --> 01:17:39,543
But they will understand.

872
01:17:41,126 --> 01:17:44,376
We can
not at least say goodbye?

873
01:17:45,918 --> 01:17:48,335
It's better if they don't know anything.

874
01:17:48,501 --> 01:17:50,626
Otherwise they will go to prison.

875
01:17:53,293 --> 01:17:55,793
Don't worry so much, okay?

876
01:17:55,960 --> 01:17:58,501
You will make lots of new friends.

877
01:18:01,085 --> 01:18:02,376
(door closes)

878
01:18:10,501 --> 01:18:12,668
- What will this be?
- We'll continue sewing here.

879
01:18:12,918 --> 01:18:16,960
- My neighbors ask questions.
- The Stasi lives opposite us!

880
01:18:18,168 --> 01:18:20,668
Yes, Günter just has to sew quietly.

881
01:18:20,835 --> 01:18:23,126
(doorbell)

882
01:18:26,876 --> 01:18:29,376
I'm going to the lake. Are you coming with me?

883
01:18:35,126 --> 01:18:38,126
- I can't.
- Just the two of us.

884
01:18:38,918 --> 01:18:40,710
(quiet piano music)

885
01:18:40,876 --> 01:18:43,085
No, it really doesn't work. Unfortunately.

886
01:18:44,835 --> 01:18:46,418
Maybe tomorrow?

887
01:18:54,418 --> 01:18:56,418
(children sing)

888
01:19:00,210 --> 01:19:04,335
(in chorus) <i>I'm putting on an apron</i>

889
01:19:04,501 --> 01:19:08,126
<i>And sweep the room</i>

890
01:19:08,293 --> 01:19:11,043
You did it well.
It's Lena's turn.

891
01:19:11,293 --> 01:19:14,626
Mom works at the post office.
I collect stamps.

892
01:19:14,793 --> 01:19:16,418
- And dad?
- Also.

893
01:19:16,668 --> 01:19:19,876
- He's at the post office too?
- He also collects stamps.

894
01:19:20,126 --> 01:19:21,960
(everyone laughs)

895
01:19:24,960 --> 01:19:26,668
And you, Peter?

896
01:19:27,585 --> 01:19:31,918
- What is your dad's profession?
- My dad is a seamstress.

897
01:19:33,126 --> 01:19:35,126
I thought he was driving an ambulance.

898
01:19:35,876 --> 01:19:41,418
Yes, too, but he sits all day
on the sewing machine.

899
01:19:41,585 --> 01:19:43,126
- Really?
- Yes.

900
01:19:44,001 --> 01:19:45,501
What is he sewing?

901
01:19:45,751 --> 01:19:47,835
(threatening sounds)

902
01:19:50,960 --> 01:19:54,251
- Don't you know?
- I'm not allowed to say.

903
01:19:56,251 --> 01:19:59,043
But you can tell me anything, huh?

904
01:20:01,501 --> 01:20:03,668
(Speaker) <i>The weather forecast:</i>

905
01:20:03,835 --> 01:20:07,835
<i>Tonight in the north and center
Overcast and raining at times.</i>

906
01:20:08,001 --> 01:20:12,585
<i>Cloudy to clear in the south.
Lowest temperatures around eleven degrees Celsius.</i>

907
01:20:12,751 --> 01:20:14,835
<i>Partly cloudy during the day...</i>

908
01:20:16,793 --> 01:20:19,835
He has to go in five days
report to the barracks.

909
01:20:21,001 --> 01:20:23,043
We'll never be able to do that.

910
01:20:23,501 --> 01:20:26,210
We'll get the balloon ready beforehand.

911
01:20:26,376 --> 01:20:28,710
Then we need the right wind.

912
01:20:28,876 --> 01:20:30,751
You can forget that.

913
01:20:33,001 --> 01:20:36,585
He has to go to the army
and then we have to go over without him.

914
01:20:40,418 --> 01:20:43,918
And then the children grow
without her father.

915
01:20:55,501 --> 01:20:58,626
The children were today
asked in kindergarten

916
01:20:58,793 --> 01:21:01,293
what their parents do for a living.

917
01:21:01,793 --> 01:21:05,501
And Peter said,
his dad is a seamstress.

918
01:21:08,835 --> 01:21:11,085
I told them

919
01:21:11,251 --> 01:21:14,293
that we sew a tent
for the campsite.

920
01:21:16,626 --> 01:21:18,293
A tent.

921
01:21:18,876 --> 01:21:21,126
I hate camping.

922
01:21:22,168 --> 01:21:24,501
I can't feel my fingers anymore.

923
01:21:26,085 --> 01:21:27,668
We have over half.

924
01:21:27,918 --> 01:21:31,210
- The man is a sewing machine.
- Will you carry me home?

925
01:21:31,460 --> 01:21:33,793
- The sewing machine has to go to bed.
- Sure.

926
01:21:34,043 --> 01:21:37,126
Wait a minute.
The lights are still on at the Stasi.

927
01:21:37,710 --> 01:21:42,793
We should think of something
when you come out so late every night.

928
01:21:45,418 --> 01:21:51,043
(slurring loudly) That was again...
a very nice evening... I have to say.

929
01:21:51,210 --> 01:21:54,335
Honey... can you even drive anymore?

930
01:21:54,501 --> 01:21:57,960
- (quietly) A bit much, right?
- They should hear us.

931
01:21:58,210 --> 01:22:00,043
(squeals)

932
01:22:00,210 --> 01:22:02,335
(everyone giggles)

933
01:22:02,501 --> 01:22:05,501
- That was pretty close!
- Come home safely!

934
01:22:10,960 --> 01:22:13,668
Bye, you two! Bye!

935
01:22:13,918 --> 01:22:15,585
Bye!

936
01:22:16,460 --> 01:22:18,293
(removed) Bye!

937
01:22:28,585 --> 01:22:31,793
(man) <i>Can you tell me
what are you accusing me of?</i>

938
01:22:31,960 --> 01:22:34,001
(Lieutenant Colonel) <i>What could it be?</i>

939
01:22:34,251 --> 01:22:38,543
I don't know anything about a balloon!
How many times do I have to say that?

940
01:22:40,585 --> 01:22:42,460
Look forward.

941
01:22:43,626 --> 01:22:47,710
- Did your truck break down?
- Yes.

942
01:22:48,376 --> 01:22:50,918
The engine keeps breaking down.

943
01:22:51,085 --> 01:22:53,668
There are no spare parts here.

944
01:22:54,418 --> 01:22:56,876
So you're standing there, in the middle of the night.

945
01:22:57,043 --> 01:22:59,668
- What time again?
- Shortly before eleven.

946
01:23:00,335 --> 01:23:04,543
- Many cars don't get past there, do they?
- No, just the one.

947
01:23:04,793 --> 01:23:06,710
With trailer.

948
01:23:07,376 --> 01:23:10,210
The tape recorder can't see you.

949
01:23:10,460 --> 01:23:12,918
(loudly) Yes, with a trailer.

950
01:23:14,960 --> 01:23:17,085
Can you describe the people?

951
01:23:17,668 --> 01:23:20,418
<i>Well, that was pretty dark, so...</i>

952
01:23:24,668 --> 01:23:26,626
A Wartburg with a trailer.

953
01:23:26,793 --> 01:23:29,043
Husband, wife, two children.

954
01:23:29,210 --> 01:23:33,251
- Like in the textile shop in Berlin.
- Now let's make them nervous.

955
01:23:34,918 --> 01:23:37,793
(Petra) "The People's Police
asks for help."

956
01:23:38,543 --> 01:23:42,043
- "For clarification..."
- We won't let ourselves be driven crazy.

957
01:23:42,210 --> 01:23:45,501
- Almost everyone has something like that.
- Not the converted barometer.

958
01:23:45,751 --> 01:23:49,626
We'll get this thing done quickly.
It just depends on the material.

959
01:23:49,793 --> 01:23:52,001
- How much do you have left?
- For today.

960
01:23:52,168 --> 01:23:56,585
- Maybe something for tomorrow.
- We don't buy in the area anymore.

961
01:23:57,501 --> 01:24:01,126
We could try Halle.
Or towards Erfurt.

962
01:24:01,376 --> 01:24:04,376
We can't allow ourselves any more mistakes.

963
01:24:06,001 --> 01:24:11,001
(woman) It's strange that they
buy the same fabric one after the other.

964
01:24:11,168 --> 01:24:13,085
I have an eye for that.

965
01:24:13,251 --> 01:24:17,001
My husband says that too.
But he could also face something...

966
01:24:17,168 --> 01:24:20,210
- Do you know what kind of car that was?
- No Trabi.

967
01:24:20,376 --> 01:24:22,710
- A Wartburg perhaps?
- Yes!

968
01:24:22,876 --> 01:24:25,751
Parked there
where the comrade is now standing.

969
01:24:25,918 --> 01:24:28,293
Do you happen to have the license plate number?

970
01:24:28,460 --> 01:24:31,793
- Definitely an N, Gera district.
- Are you sure?

971
01:24:31,960 --> 01:24:33,668
Yes, definitely.

972
01:24:33,835 --> 01:24:37,626
My niece comes from Pößneck.
It also has a license plate like that.

973
01:24:37,793 --> 01:24:40,501
I was wondering
why buy them here!

974
01:24:40,668 --> 01:24:45,043
(man) <i>Gera district. The clue came
from the saleswoman from Naumburg.</i>

975
01:24:45,293 --> 01:24:48,835
We could
reconstruct a gas bottle label.

976
01:24:49,001 --> 01:24:53,168
It's pretty safe
around a gas station in Pößneck.

977
01:24:53,418 --> 01:24:57,335
And that's right... here.

978
01:24:57,501 --> 01:25:00,710
From there
It's not far to a starting point.

979
01:25:01,168 --> 01:25:05,626
Schirra should have all employees
put on standby.

980
01:25:05,793 --> 01:25:09,918
- We'll take the medication.
- The doctor's offices are already closed.

981
01:25:10,085 --> 01:25:11,626
Then the pharmacies.

982
01:25:11,793 --> 01:25:14,793
I'm trying
find out something about the children.

983
01:25:16,376 --> 01:25:19,335
- You can unpack them straight away.
- How come?

984
01:25:19,501 --> 01:25:23,001
The guys with the balloon
are from here, from Pößneck.

985
01:25:23,168 --> 01:25:24,835
- Secure?
- Yes.

986
01:25:25,001 --> 01:25:27,668
The comrades from Gera
are already on the way.

987
01:25:27,835 --> 01:25:29,793
I'll get everyone together.

988
01:25:35,793 --> 01:25:38,085
(unintelligible conversations)

989
01:25:50,543 --> 01:25:54,710
(Lieutenant Colonel) I understand,
what I ask, believe me.

990
01:25:54,876 --> 01:25:57,835
I just do it,
because it's my last hope,

991
01:25:58,001 --> 01:26:00,376
to prevent something very bad.

992
01:26:01,168 --> 01:26:03,168
What do you want to know?

993
01:26:04,168 --> 01:26:07,710
Has one of the children
something told from home?

994
01:26:08,835 --> 01:26:12,418
- Anything unusual?
- What do you mean?

995
01:26:13,168 --> 01:26:17,626
For example, that the parents
tinker with something bigger.

996
01:26:17,876 --> 01:26:20,126
Or sew something.

997
01:26:20,293 --> 01:26:22,293
(threatening sounds)

998
01:26:25,835 --> 01:26:28,085
Who are you then?

999
01:26:32,376 --> 01:26:35,543
For the ball
you have to tell me what your name is.

1000
01:26:36,626 --> 01:26:37,918
Peter.

1001
01:26:39,876 --> 01:26:41,710
And what next?

1002
01:26:42,793 --> 01:26:44,793
- Here, Peter.
- Thanks.

1003
01:26:48,418 --> 01:26:50,418
Yes, something is being sewn.

1004
01:26:54,001 --> 01:26:56,585
Flags, for example. And pennants.

1005
01:26:57,876 --> 01:27:01,335
For the celebration
for the 30th anniversary of our republic.

1006
01:27:02,543 --> 01:27:04,043
Actually?

1007
01:27:05,876 --> 01:27:07,376
Yes.

1008
01:27:07,543 --> 01:27:10,043
A lot of people are really very committed.

1009
01:27:11,710 --> 01:27:13,876
You can be really proud of that.

1010
01:27:17,210 --> 01:27:19,210
(thunder rumbles)

1011
01:27:20,168 --> 01:27:23,001
(threatening sounds)

1012
01:27:31,251 --> 01:27:33,085
(loud rock music)

1013
01:27:33,335 --> 01:27:35,335
(Song: "The Ballroom Blitz" by The Sweet)

1014
01:27:35,918 --> 01:27:39,835
Are you still very close?
Send the neighbors an invitation!

1015
01:27:40,001 --> 01:27:44,418
With this weather you can forget about it.
They'll get us anyway.

1016
01:27:45,376 --> 01:27:48,210
Frank,
if it's because of that Stasi girl...

1017
01:27:48,460 --> 01:27:51,668
- She's not with the Stasi!
- You're putting us in danger!

1018
01:27:52,626 --> 01:27:55,585
Just imagine
Something's slipping out!

1019
01:27:55,835 --> 01:27:57,710
You don't trust me!

1020
01:27:58,376 --> 01:28:00,585
But. I do.

1021
01:28:00,751 --> 01:28:04,668
- But the whole family...
- Then just leave without me!

1022
01:28:05,960 --> 01:28:07,960
(engine hums)

1023
01:28:13,293 --> 01:28:15,210
Just pull yourself together.

1024
01:28:17,210 --> 01:28:19,210
(dark sounds)

1025
01:28:25,835 --> 01:28:27,710
- There you are.
- Did you get any material?

1026
01:28:27,876 --> 01:28:29,376
Yes, everything is there.

1027
01:28:29,626 --> 01:28:34,001
- I also have a starting place.
- Good. I'll be finished the day after tomorrow.

1028
01:28:34,168 --> 01:28:37,668
- After that I sleep for a week.
- I'll make you coffee.

1029
01:28:53,501 --> 01:28:57,293
Have six people
get the thyroid medication.

1030
01:28:57,460 --> 01:28:59,751
How many are taking the medication?

1031
01:28:59,918 --> 01:29:02,293
- I can't even say that.
- Approximately.

1032
01:29:02,460 --> 01:29:07,251
There might be around here
200 patients diagnosed with goiter.

1033
01:29:07,418 --> 01:29:09,918
I have to search all of this.

1034
01:29:10,085 --> 01:29:14,293
- What about the other pharmacies?
- There are two. Both smaller.

1035
01:29:14,543 --> 01:29:16,335
Check both.

1036
01:29:16,501 --> 01:29:20,501
We are looking for people
with a workshop and a sewing machine.

1037
01:29:20,751 --> 01:29:26,793
If there are gas bottles lying around, fix them.
Alfeld, Sperlingweg. Altmann, Pappelallee.

1038
01:29:46,251 --> 01:29:50,043
(Speaker) <i>The storms
A cold front follows during the night.</i>

1039
01:29:50,210 --> 01:29:52,126
- Dad, I wanted...
- Shh!

1040
01:29:52,293 --> 01:29:54,085
<i>...sink in Bavaria.</i>

1041
01:29:54,251 --> 01:29:57,501
<i>See you at the beginning of the week
there is a steady wind from the north</i>

1042
01:29:57,751 --> 01:30:00,168
<i>at a speed of 30 km/h.</i>

1043
01:30:00,335 --> 01:30:02,001
North wind.

1044
01:30:06,168 --> 01:30:09,168
Gunter! It's starting! We're getting a north wind!

1045
01:30:09,418 --> 01:30:10,793
- The day after tomorrow!
- What?

1046
01:30:10,960 --> 01:30:13,751
I just heard it on the radio.

1047
01:30:15,043 --> 01:30:19,501
I'll go fill up the gas bottles.
Can you help Günter, okay?

1048
01:30:19,668 --> 01:30:23,335
So much pig.
I've already seen myself in prison.

1049
01:30:24,126 --> 01:30:26,626
- And that carries us all?
- Sure, of course.

1050
01:30:26,793 --> 01:30:28,751
There could be three more with me.

1051
01:30:32,501 --> 01:30:34,376
(dramatic music)

1052
01:30:56,876 --> 01:30:58,876
(silent scene)

1053
01:31:21,793 --> 01:31:23,793
(music stops)

1054
01:31:33,168 --> 01:31:34,960
Hello, Frank.

1055
01:31:35,626 --> 01:31:37,751
- Are you alone?
- Yes.

1056
01:31:43,251 --> 01:31:45,001
What is it?

1057
01:31:46,293 --> 01:31:51,460
If we could run away to the West,
would you come with me then?

1058
01:31:51,626 --> 01:31:54,793
- What are you talking about?
- We have a place for you.

1059
01:31:55,043 --> 01:31:58,085
- You want to move over?
- You can come with me.

1060
01:31:58,668 --> 01:32:01,210
You just have to decide quickly.

1061
01:32:01,460 --> 01:32:03,251
- What?
- I'm serious.

1062
01:32:03,418 --> 01:32:05,710
You've got a blast!

1063
01:32:07,460 --> 01:32:09,376
(dark sounds)

1064
01:32:19,210 --> 01:32:20,751
Hello, Frank.

1065
01:32:20,918 --> 01:32:23,918
- What are you doing here?
- I'll get my coat.

1066
01:32:24,085 --> 01:32:25,960
- Are you going to the pharmacy?
- Yes.

1067
01:32:26,126 --> 01:32:29,168
- Can you bring me some headache pills?
- Yes.

1068
01:32:32,126 --> 01:32:35,918
- What is your father doing in the pharmacy?
- They're looking for someone.

1069
01:32:38,626 --> 01:32:40,918
(Snowman laughs maliciously)

1070
01:32:41,085 --> 01:32:43,043
(door closes)

1071
01:32:44,085 --> 01:32:47,501
(Frank) The Stasi is in the pharmacy.
They're looking for someone.

1072
01:32:47,668 --> 01:32:49,793
- How do you know that?
- From Klara.

1073
01:32:50,043 --> 01:32:53,376
- Frank, I told you...
- They check the recipes.

1074
01:32:55,751 --> 01:32:58,168
We can't wait until tomorrow.

1075
01:32:58,335 --> 01:33:01,418
- Can you make it until tonight?
- You need to.

1076
01:33:02,210 --> 01:33:05,460
- Someone has to tell Petra.
- I'll do it.

1077
01:33:05,710 --> 01:33:10,335
- You can take my moped.
- Come on, Fitscher, let's load the trailer.

1078
01:33:14,335 --> 01:33:16,585
(melancholic music)

1079
01:33:42,668 --> 01:33:45,126
(music increases)

1080
01:33:46,543 --> 01:33:48,710
(silent scene)

1081
01:34:11,293 --> 01:34:13,460
(Music continues playing)

1082
01:34:34,043 --> 01:34:36,418
(music swells)

1083
01:34:56,043 --> 01:34:58,293
(doorbell)

1084
01:35:01,376 --> 01:35:03,501
(music becomes quieter)

1085
01:35:04,543 --> 01:35:07,001
Can we come in for a moment?

1086
01:35:07,168 --> 01:35:09,168
Did something happen?

1087
01:35:10,210 --> 01:35:13,085
Forgot key. Petra is waiting for us.

1088
01:35:14,085 --> 01:35:16,376
(music becomes quieter)

1089
01:35:23,751 --> 01:35:26,293
And who is that?

1090
01:35:27,335 --> 01:35:29,043
(Petra) That's you.

1091
01:35:29,293 --> 01:35:32,793
(babbles incomprehensibly)

1092
01:35:36,168 --> 01:35:38,001
This is grandma.

1093
01:35:39,251 --> 01:35:41,251
That's where we're going now.

1094
01:35:41,501 --> 01:35:44,543
Stop, stop!
Bang! Bang! You're dead!

1095
01:35:45,293 --> 01:35:47,793
Stop, stop, you traitor!

1096
01:35:55,585 --> 01:35:59,918
The wind is getting stronger and stronger.
Then we'll get there faster.

1097
01:36:00,168 --> 01:36:04,335
The tracks are not the same length.
They don't match above.

1098
01:36:05,168 --> 01:36:08,168
- That's a huge hole.
- The pressure is on the ropes.

1099
01:36:08,335 --> 01:36:11,126
If they are well knotted,
it should work.

1100
01:36:11,293 --> 01:36:12,960
We'll sew this over it.

1101
01:36:14,001 --> 01:36:16,668
(dark sounds)

1102
01:36:19,460 --> 01:36:21,460
We're almost through.

1103
01:36:21,626 --> 01:36:25,085
Maybe has
the old woman in the fabric store was wrong.

1104
01:36:25,251 --> 01:36:27,668
Or they get the medication somewhere else.

1105
01:36:27,835 --> 01:36:31,210
- We missed something.
- Doris Strelzyk.

1106
01:36:31,376 --> 01:36:33,960
Strelzyk? These are our neighbors.

1107
01:36:36,835 --> 01:36:38,876
Do they also have a car?

1108
01:36:39,043 --> 01:36:41,293
A Wartburg, blue.

1109
01:36:41,460 --> 01:36:44,126
- He also has a trailer, but...
- Profession?

1110
01:36:44,293 --> 01:36:46,210
Electrical engineer.

1111
01:36:47,251 --> 01:36:49,085
A real tinkerer.

1112
01:36:49,876 --> 01:36:52,210
(dramatic music)

1113
01:37:21,501 --> 01:37:23,835
(music swells)

1114
01:38:16,043 --> 01:38:18,460
(tense buzzing)

1115
01:38:39,043 --> 01:38:41,293
(Man) Down here in the basement!

1116
01:38:42,876 --> 01:38:45,460
(dark sounds)

1117
01:38:59,918 --> 01:39:02,460
I have a son, Frank,

1118
01:39:02,626 --> 01:39:05,126
seen this afternoon.

1119
01:39:06,835 --> 01:39:09,668
Yes, it was completely normal, so...

1120
01:39:11,335 --> 01:39:16,001
There was this guy who... and his wife,
They've been visiting a lot lately.

1121
01:39:16,168 --> 01:39:18,126
Does it have a name too?

1122
01:39:19,793 --> 01:39:21,876
Wetzel, Günter Wetzel.

1123
01:39:22,585 --> 01:39:25,376
Major manhunt.
Blue Wartburg with trailer.

1124
01:39:25,543 --> 01:39:29,835
Roadblocks at town exits.
You take on this Wetzel.

1125
01:39:30,001 --> 01:39:34,293
Border troops on alert.
I need a helicopter.

1126
01:39:42,751 --> 01:39:44,793
You didn't know anything.

1127
01:39:51,960 --> 01:39:54,001
(music ends)

1128
01:39:54,168 --> 01:39:56,293
(quietly) Where are they?

1129
01:39:59,918 --> 01:40:02,085
(rhythmic ticking)

1130
01:40:05,668 --> 01:40:08,043
(quietly) Quick, quick...

1131
01:40:12,626 --> 01:40:14,460
I have to do something quickly.

1132
01:40:25,751 --> 01:40:28,251
Shit. We're driving around upstairs.

1133
01:40:37,835 --> 01:40:39,626
(emotional music)

1134
01:40:43,168 --> 01:40:45,293
We really have to go now.

1135
01:41:21,293 --> 01:41:23,418
(tense music)

1136
01:41:34,835 --> 01:41:37,168
- Where to put it?
- Behind the trailer.

1137
01:41:54,126 --> 01:41:56,001
Shit.

1138
01:41:59,626 --> 01:42:02,918
- Papers, please.
- What's going on here?

1139
01:42:04,501 --> 01:42:06,418
Papers, please.

1140
01:42:10,001 --> 01:42:11,960
I... I still had them...

1141

(Radio message) <i>Manhunt for the Wetzel family.</i>

1142
01:42:19,626 --> 01:42:22,210
Paul, is that a Wartburg with a trailer?

1143
01:42:23,835 --> 01:42:27,043
Keep going. Come on, keep going!

1144
01:42:36,460 --> 01:42:38,835
(rousing music)

1145
01:42:52,585 --> 01:42:54,460
Where are they then?

1146
01:43:01,501 --> 01:43:03,585
- What's up?
- The fucking engine.

1147
01:43:03,751 --> 01:43:06,501
If it gets too hot,
the piston jams.

1148
01:43:06,668 --> 01:43:10,668
- And what now?
- Push. And wait until it cools down.

1149
01:43:15,293 --> 01:43:17,626

(engine hums)

1154
01:43:55,210 --> 01:43:57,376
(Günter) Shit!

1155
01:43:57,543 --> 01:43:59,251
- There you are!
- It's all ok.

1156
01:43:59,501 --> 01:44:01,001

- Yes.

1157
01:44:01,168 --> 01:44:03,918
- Grab the rope in front.

1158
01:44:04,168 --> 01:44:06,335
- What was going on?
- scrap mill.

1159
01:44:06,585 --> 01:44:08,293
- Did you tie everything up?
- Yes.

1160
01:44:08,543 --> 01:44:10,918
Then I'll start the engine.

1161
01:44:21,710 --> 01:44:24,043
(menacing music)

1162

(via radio) <i>All border troops

1164

1165
01:45:08,710 --> 01:45:11,085
(suspenseful music)

1166
01:45:23,793 --> 01:45:25,668
Well, it's okay.

1167
01:45:27,085 --> 01:45:29,376
Come on, let's get the little ones.

1168
01:45:39,251 --> 01:45:40,543
It's starting.

1169
01:45:46,335 --> 01:45:47,335
Comes.

1170
01:45:56,085 --> 01:45:59,376
This is a hot air balloon.
You don't need to be afraid.

1171
01:46:04,626 --> 01:46:06,085
The gloves!

1172
01:46:06,335 --> 01:46:08,126
Good, let's get started.

1173
01:46:11,751 --> 01:46:14,043
Ready? One two three.

1174
01:46:17,168 --> 01:46:19,085
And go.

1175
01:46:19,501 --> 01:46:22,210
- Oh no.
- (Doris) Frank, what's wrong?

1176
01:46:22,460 --> 01:46:23,835
- That doesn't work!
- Again!

1177
01:46:24,085 --> 01:46:26,376
- Cut the rope!
- The knife!

1178

- Hold onto!
- Help him!

1179
01:46:28,376 --> 01:46:31,126
- I can't do it!
- Pull the rope! Pull it out!

1180
01:46:32,376 --> 01:46:34,043
- Firmly!
- Come on!

1181

1182
01:46:36,501 --> 01:46:38,210
Fire! Fire!

1183
01:46:38,460 --> 01:46:40,085
- It's burning!
- Shit!

1184
01:46:41,251 --> 01:46:42,418
Uh!

1185
01:46:42,668 --> 01:46:44,543
Where is the fire extinguisher?

1186
01:46:44,710 --> 01:46:46,835
(children cry)

1187
01:46:53,793 --> 01:46:55,210
(Petra) I have you.

1188
01:46:55,376 --> 01:46:57,793
- Are you okay?
- Yes.

1189
01:46:57,960 --> 01:47:00,543
Frank... you're bleeding!

Here 557. Fly directly towards the border.
Turn to the insert section.

1194
01:47:29,001 --> 01:47:30,668
Shit.

1195
01:47:46,168 --> 01:47:48,168
There are headlights.

1196
01:47:49,043 --> 01:47:50,876
Is that the limit?

1197
01:47:54,876 --> 01:47:57,918
- Maybe.
- But it's pretty far away.

1198
01:48:03,918 --> 01:48:05,835
There. There he is.

1199
01:48:06,001 --> 01:48:10,835
Confirm sighting in operational section.
The property is located at approximately 1800 m.

- The pipes ice up.
- That can't be.

1206
01:48:39,418 --> 01:48:42,793
- Then the gas is gone.
- We had to heat so much.

1207
01:48:42,960 --> 01:48:44,460
We're sinking.

1208
01:48:49,668 --> 01:48:52,751
Here 557. Lost visual contact.

1209

- We still need something for the landing.
- I know. Hold on.

1211
01:49:16,085 --> 01:49:17,085
(Peter) It's coming.

1212
01:49:17,335 --> 01:49:18,835
There in front.

I'm cold, mommy...

1220
01:50:17,168 --> 01:50:19,460
They must have run out of gas.

1221
01:50:19,626 --> 01:50:23,043
- They can't do that anymore.
- Now we'll get her.

1222
01:50:23,210 --> 01:50:27,335
State our position.
Seal off the entire area.

Here 557, Blankenstein border section.

1224

- Here.
- Did we do it?

1239

- Are we over there?
- How long were we up there?

1240

Come on, Peter, let's take a look around.
You're waiting here.

1248
01:53:32,043 --> 01:53:36,126
- Are we here in the West?
- No. In Upper Franconia.
