Berlin-Sch�nhauser Corner

ENTERING THE DEMOCRATIC SECTOR

Well, well.

- Kohle's dead.
- What happened?

Don't know.
He had some plan to act sick.

He told me about it.
It must have gone wrong.

Shut, the door.

What about Karl-Heinz?

Was a girl here about me?

She's not involved in this.
She only came because of me.

We know each other from the corner.

I'm telling you
she's not involved in this.

A man used to visit her mother.
Then Angela could stay out late.

I'm not asking for gratitude.

You're old enough to grasp how it was
when your father died in the war.

Angela. I said bring, in the plates.

Don't want to.

Why don't I get any ham?

I forgot to get any, that's all.

You're just being difficult.

When we move
you'll get your own room.

Stay and say hello at least.

Back again by twelve?
As usual?

Loafers.

- You're scared, Kohle.
- Yeah?

- You won't do it.
- What's in it for me?

- Come on.
- I don't want to.

- You're scared, Kohle.
- One mark is way too little.

It's no big deal.

- Just a little test.
- Smash that light.

Not even enough for a movie.

Now what's up?

OK. A west mark.

- Hey. I'll do it for that.
- A west mark? I'll do it!

You're chicken!

Insane!

You little vandal!
You need a whipping!

We'll fix you creeps!
We should get the cops.

Your asses all need a good kicking!

Let's get out of here.

Scared daddy might find out?

- The west mark.
- It can wait a day.

Come on.

Got it in writing?

- Sucker!
- Why did you do it?

Pay up. He earned it.

Look over there!

If you run, they'll get you.

Stay here!

They need proof.

You stay, too.

Who smashed the light?

- Evenin'.
- Light?

It was him in the shorts.

It's your brother again.

- You smashed it?
- No way.

He's near-sighted.

- Nobody here.
- Be careful.

Got any proof?

- So who was it?
- Nobody.

Come here.

Oh boy, a cop for a brother!

Get your IDs out.

- Why? Do we have to?
- Make it snappy.

Any more of this
and I'll beat the pants off you at home.

You can't scare me with that.

- Show him your stamps.
- Make it snappy.

Don't lose it
or I'll be in trouble with the cops.

All you nice boys can come with us.

Drive behind us.

Get going. Move.
Go on. Move it.

Come on, boy, get going.

Don't worry. we'll be back soon.

That's the way.
If they were mine. I'd give them hell.

I'm getting my bike.

We're in the same office.
It's impossible for me.

You know I want a divorce.

But it takes time and money.

- Do you think I enjoy this?
- I don't want to wait anymore.

I've been alone since the war.

I don't want any more pain.

Here out of solidarity, eh?

That's nice.

What do you do?

Sewing at Fortschritt.

Really?
My new suit is already missing buttons.

What do your folks say to all this?

Nothing at all?

Or you don't need to listen, eh?

If you're bored, lift weights.

But shape up, dammit!

Tell me again
why you quit high school.

It was no fun.

Oh yes, that's why.

And still no job. after eight months.

Still living off Pa's money.
I'd be ashamed in your shoes.

Here's your ID.

- Seen a lot of films over there?
- 100 at least.

He knows all the stunts.

And have you found a job?

Can't get one. No good at school.

Not even in a state factory.

- Trainee butcher at best.
- That's something.

He can't kill animals.

Cut that out!

- Comrade...
- Later.

What do you want to be?

A mechanic, or pilot.

- I wouldn't be on board.
- Wants to fly jet fighters.

Listen, I'll get you an apprenticeship.

But you'll have to pay for the light.

That's tough.

You can't do anything for me.
I have a steady job and feed myself.

Great. You won't talk to me.

My brother in the police
bores me enough.

Any interests at all?

I'd be interested to know.

Hard to say.

- Motorcycles.
- Any others?

Soccer.

And others?

No others. Just leave us alone.

I keep wondering
why you act dumber than you are.

Maybe some other time.

Think it'll be a big fine?

So what if it is?

You did nothing and you're well off.

- You owe me a west mark.
- You'll get it.

- But I need cash myself.
- You always have some.

Not right now.

What will your folks do?

"We're worried about our boy"
his Ma said lately.

Cut it out.

Your father beats you like a kid.

You couldn't take it.

And he's not my Pa.

Is it twelve yet?

Ten past.

I'm going up.

Is it a date at the beer garden?

What kind of men do you like?

Doctors and boxers.

Don't be dumb. I mean their looks.

Like Marlon Brando.

I'm late. I'd better go.

I'm off.

- Night, Dieter.
- Night.

- Take care.
- Listen...

Would you get out if you could?

- Why do you ask?
- You have to live a little.

Why?
I have my job and my brother.

I met some guys in West Berlin.
You could make a whole lot of money.

You're good with girls.

Not lately, it seems.

Listen, it's a piece of cake.

Nuclear arms for West Germany.

55 billion for arms.

The Telegraph.

Nuclear arms for West Germany.

55 billion for arms.

Makes 70... makes 71.50 west.

30 east pfennigs left.
The west is taking 4.25.

- Okay then.
- Johnny.

Back again?

With another 300 for me?

71.50.

I'll just count it.

See you.

Take care.

Didn't see you.

- Got the IDs yet?
- I'm working on it, but I need time.

- Let us know when you have them.
- I'll bring them over.

What do you have to pay
if you lose your ID?

What does a new ID cost?

Don't know. 30 marks i think.

- Is there a fine?
- Don't think so. Can happen to anyone.

- Why do you ask?
- Just wondered.

Got a smoke?

- If you've got a light.
- I have.

- Heard about the new 250?
- Two-stroke?

A bomb!

The steam shovel. Run!

Take cover. A bomb!

The train!
Get the shovel operator back!

Stop! Back up! There's a bomb ahead!

A bomb?

As of now. Ma's depositing over there.

- It's for your future.
- I needed a new jacket.

Not from there, without asking.

- Your pals know of our west accounts?
- I don't have any.

- We have a lot to lose.
- I know, Ma's two inherited houses.

- Your manner is incredible!
- A lot here is incredible.

- What?
- Are we getting out or not?

Two years we've talked of it.

- Why else did I quit school?
- Start earning a living.

Then you'll see what we have here.

But you always say there'll be a war.

War? What do you mean?
Reason will prevail, I hope.

The west is psychologically better.
This system will fail.

- Germany's not Asia, don't forget.
- This house is worth zilch in a war.

I could use a little cash.

You've had your money this month.

Home from work?
I did some shopping.

- Want to see a movie?
- You and me?

Shall I tell you when a good one's on?

Or won't you go with me?

- Going to the beer garden later?
- Wow. Nice jacket that.

- Ihave to go up.
- You'll let me know?

Angela, Dieter will be there too.

Ah, we've found you at last.

Got a moment?

Not really, no.

We'd like to talk with you.

- Great work with that bomb.
- So?

You're a good man.
Why not join us?

The Free German Youth?

So what's on?
Another variety show?

- Funny, no.
- No problems at all?

Yes, but no time.

I'm here during the day.

- Evenings I go my way.
- The easy way out.

- The west...
- Yes, I know.

Listen to me.

- You know what's up over there.
- What do you want from me?

I'm against war too.
I lost my parents in the last one.

I really have no time.
My brother and me are doing okay.

- Ought to marry.
- For the cooking?

- Another time, okay?
- If you want.

But not right now.

Turn that radio down.

What are you wearing?
I don't want you to go.

- But I have a date.
- Then ask.

And don't use so much make up.

You're becoming a stranger.
It can't go on.

- You're too young.
- Twice a week I'm not.

- I've tried to tell you.
- Don't want to be told.

You're being unfair.

You're not telling me what to do.

The drinks.
Pay now please.

Your IDs please.

Oh. I've seen them.

Keep the change.

Like it here?

Let's have a toast.

To what?

What do we want to toast?

Cheers.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

- Want to dance?
- Yes.

Come on, let's dance.

Karl-Heinz.

Come outside.

What's up?

Does it have to be now?

Let's dance.
I'm not standing around.

What's up?

I'm not doing it.

And that's your final word?

You have to understand.

- I'm serious about her.
- Doesn't have to be her.

Won't work either.

I just can't rob one girl
and be nice to another.

That puts me right on the spot.

Anyway, what's this about "robbing"?

And the 300 marks profit?

I thought you wanted
to buy a motorcycle?

Forget it.

Everyone talks about love.

Yearns for love now and then.

But where is it, that one true love?

That one divine love?

Shall we join in?

Don't feel like it.

Yes. People seek it

Here and there.

But often all you get is just the word.

Idiot, let's go get them.

Yearns for love

Now and then.

What's with him?

I want to buy a motorcycle.

Fine.

Let's go in.

There he is!

Where's your friend? My ID's missing.

So? Maybe you lost it.

I had it when the drinks came.
Then I danced. How mean.

- Your problem.
- See if yours is still there.

It's here.

But mine's gone. Some friends.
They dance with a girl and rob her.

- Your ID's stole?
- Yes. One's gone but his friend's here.

We're not friends.
And I didn't do anything.

- I wasn't even there.
- Relax.

She's nuts.

- He's no thief.
- Everyone is know.

It was a frame-up. They left a while.
We just didn't get it.

Right, Angela?

- Believe that and we're through.
- Come outside with us please.

Unpleasant, isn't it?

It looks like you know more
than you're saying.

We'll have to work it out
if you say nothing.

- What's the going rate for an ID?
- Ask an ID thief.

Don't get fresh.

Stolen IDs cause us headaches.

Cameras head west.
You know what I mean.

There's spying too,
believe it or not.

Who were you there with?

- Forget him. He wasn't involved.
- Wasn't involved in what, eh?

Don't think I believe you're a thief.

Not only crooks do crooked things.

- Tell me about Karl-Heinz and the girl.
- I didn't steal the ID.

I didn't see who did it.

If I had second sight
I'd join the police.

That "good uncle" bit
won't work with me.

Won't work, eh?

That leaves various possibilities.

A few days in custody, for instance.

Or you could, of course...

go home too.

As you wish.

Then go home.

Get lost.

Don't believe me, do you?

I believe you.

Believe in yourself.

Did you really think I did it?

Did you believe it?

Scared?

- What are you thinking of?
- You.

Want my jacket?

But you'll freeze.

Not next to you.

I couldn't get any more.

That's a girl's.

Got a job for me?

A real one?

I want to get out.

I speak English.

Everything okay?

Say you like me a lot.

I like you a lot.

Pinch my arm.

- Take these over, too.
- Okay.

- Ah, good to see you.
- Hi.

Still want to make me join?

I know you have no time.
But have a seat.

- Bit strange.
- What is?

Your sign is all I saw of you
until now.

Had your eyes shut, maybe?

- Smoke?
- No thanks. So what's up?

A police captain called us.

Because of you.
He said we should talk.

Well, well, well.

- Then I'll be on my way.
- Hold it. I don't know a thing.

I'd like to know why they" let me go
if I have to hear all this later.

- What were you involved in?
- Nothing.

A girl's ID got stolen.
And by chance I was there. That's it.

- I'm not League material.
- Baloney.

Okay. Baloney. I have no time. Bye.

Don't forget your bag.

I don't understand you.

You're a good worker, a good man.
But evenings you play tough.

Try to talk to you
and you act like Tarzan.

So it's a misunderstanding?
Let's put it right.

- Go ahead.
- Without you?

I don't need help
and I don't help anyone.

It's best
to find out things for yourself.

Ma and Eva not in yet?

Come here.

Come over here.

What's this?

Don't know.

You don't know.

I'll teach you!

You smash the light
but your Ma pays the 20 marks, eh?

Why didn't you peel any potatoes?
I can do it for you, eh?

Stop hitting the boy.

Hit him once more and I'll kill you.

Somebody here
has to keep order, dammit!

- Come into the kitchen.
- He stays. I have to talk to him.

Let him be. He's not your boy.

Think I don't know
you want to get rid of me?

But I tell you this.

Before I go
I'll make a shambles of this place.

Then I'll go.

- I can get a prettier woman any time.
- Maybe.

But she won't work
while you just drink.

But once a day
you're fond of me, aren't you?

Either she dumps him or I go myself.

Where to?

There's a hostel where I work.

And what about me?

LEAVING THE DEMOCRATIC SECTOR

Soraya's expecting.

Bild 10 pfennigs.

Soraya's expecting.

Bild 10 pfennigs.

Hey! What are you doing here?

- I'm on my own now.
- Can't go home?

- Baloney. I'm doing well.
- And the mark for the light?

Don't start that!

Get moving!

Slimebag.

Paid for the room?

All taken care of.

And what's the place like?

Makes a good impression.
Just right for us.

I've asked around again.

Nobody knows him.

- Really is a beginner, it seems.
- The money deal, right?

Just hold this.

What's in it?

A bag of sand.

A bag of sand?

I ran into Karl-Heinz in the west.
I was getting a movie ticket.

Come with me. I'm going home.

Hb drove off in a car.
Just a red VW.

He still hasn't paid up.
His Pa always says he's away.

If you see him again
tell him I'll kick his ass.

I saw "Devil in Blonde".
She wasn't that hot, but the man was.

Fat and small, but what a punch!
He mowed them all down.

Where were you?

Why didn't you do the dishes?

I'm your friend, Kohle.

We have to get the chairs right.
Get going.

Give me a hand.

Fix the carpet.
Don't stand there.

Get moving. I think he's coming.

Get going.

Don't miss the sign.

When the glass falls,
curtain back and...

And if I...

Don't start again.
It couldn't kill a rabbit.

In an hour you'll be buying the drinks.

This way please. They're already here.

Pleased to see you. Take a seat.

Cognac?

No thanks. I'm short of time.

7,000 west, as agreed?

- You've got it in east marks?
- Of course. Here.

- We should keep doing this.
- It's better with people you know.

Damn it!

- What an idiot! Like a bull!
- You did it, boy, you alone!

What's happening?

TAX CONSULTANT

I need money.

The west account.

- I'm getting out of Berlin.
- Are you crazy?

What is this?

- Aren't we good enough?
- Out of here?

You won't do a thing without asking.

Those days are through.
You're not leaving here, you thief.

The police came.
We have to hang our heads.

- Give me power of attorney.
- God!

It's not real.

I can't tell you anything.

No. I can't talk to you.

Why can't I live my way?
Why do you have all these rules?

At the corner I'm a rowdy.
If I boogie, I'm a Yank.

- If I'm not neat, my ideas are false.
- What bull.

You see?

I try to talk and you don't listen.

Okay then, I'm listening.

I'm through now.

You must live on the moon.
We're creating Socialism.

- Many people don't like that.
- "We, we, we". I do my part.

- Open any paper. Full of us "youth".
- Funny way to do it.

More police know you than me.

After the war you sold cigarettes
on the black market.

I was 15.
What kind of argument is that?

Karl-Heinz just went up.

So? What can we do?

He'll go again any minute.

- You think so?
- Sure. We'll wait a while. Come on.

Karl-Heinz.

Go through the attic and then down.
There's people below.

- Sure?
- Of course.

Got a match?

- No I don't.
- I do.

Here.

What is this?

Why so scared?

We just want to talk.

- We hardly see you any more.
- Are you crazy?

- What do you want?
- A west mark.

- You owe me one.
- Let me out.

You want to run.

Like you did with that ID.

Let me go.

Come over here.

Let me go, I say.

Let me go or else.

Is he dead?

We have to scram.

Who's there?

- A shot!
- You hear it too?

- I told my husband...
- What's wrong?

Stop them. Stop them!

Stop them!

- Where are you going?
- Let me go!

- We saw them.
- Who?

- The rear house brat and some rowdy.
- The Erdmanns know?

- Karl-Heinz. My boy!
- Please. Please.

- I killed a man.
- That's nonsense.

You're confused.

They nearly killed you.

- It's hot.
- Do you want some water?

I'll get some.

I'd just turned the radio off.
I wanted to read a bit.

Then I heard a funny noise.
I wondered what it was.

- "Hear that?" I asked.
- If you don't mind.

- Thanks, but my wife is very upset.
- The police are here.

- Thank God.
- Where is he?

This way, please.

Attention please.

Last station in the west sector.

Please board at once.

Stand back.

We'll have to say it was political.

They like that.

Afterwards we can go abroad.
Canada, maybe.

Know anything about politics?

SERVE YE ONE ANOTHER

More tea?

We have to stick together.

Attention please.
Last station in the west sector.

- What are we doing with them?
- It's arranged.

We're sending them to the camp.

Leave all your papers.

The money too. You can't use it here.

Fill out these forms next door.

Your aims here. Biography.
Reasons for fleeing.

Then Interview A.

You were being coerced into joining

the so-called People's National Army?

Who was coercing you?

I don't know their names.

Really.

What function do these people have?

You must know that.

One of them
is the League secretary at work.

Your brother is a policeman, isn't he?

He threatened you politically?

You can't put it like that.

We often argued.

He was always playing big brother.
Understand?

When we talked politics.

Do you have

any kind of contact with Russians?

What do you know?

What do you know about Karl-Heinz?

I know him from the corner.
I think he stole the ID.

- I never saw him after that.
- And Kohle?

Nice guy. That's all I can say.

You see, she didn't do it.

When did you last see Dieter?

Two days ago, I think. Why?

Know where he is?

No. I don't know.

- What's happened?
- He's vanished.

You're friends, aren't you?
Tell us all you know.

I'm going to have his baby.

Like a streetwalker.
Shame on you!

A baby from a wanted man.

So that's what it's all been for.

If your father could see this.

Angela. Miss Angela!

- The books too?
- Yes.

No. Maybe she'll want to read.

He left his girlfriend here.

- So I'm moving into the attic.
- Oh, right.

At work we feel
we didn't do enough to convince him.

Just talking might have been better.

All the time we lived together

I never realized
you have to listen as well as talk.

- The apples?
- On the table.

- All for you?
- No. For the girl.

- Fruit's supposed to be good.
- I'll get a bowl.

Maybe he wasn't dead at all.

What? You reckon?

He sure looked dead.

He wasn't breathing.

He had that pistol, didn't he?

- So it was self-defense.
- So what?

So it means we got out for no reason.

Thinking of Angela? She can come too.
We'll take her with us.

Funny.

They'll all be saying they were right.

That I'm a creep.

Want to go back?
I'm not.

Not me.

Why do you want to go back?
We wanted to stick together.

We're eating in ten minutes.

Forming a committee for returnees?

Or is that yet to come?

- But you'd like to go back, eh?
- Where did you get that idea?

- I never liked of it.
- You must have thought out loud.

Just a minute.

Speaking theoretically.
I came of my own free will and can go.

- Whenever I want, can't I?
- You didn't quite think this through.

We'd be rather taken aback.

One would ask why you came.

Maybe you were sent.

- I see.
- You see now?

No pass the next two weeks.

And no influencing others.
It's not done. You understand?

- I don't need to be enlightened.
- Then you can go.

What was it like?

I'm next.
I heard they want to move me.

- In two days.
- And me?

- Not you.
- Come in here.

I heard you're homesick.

You heard wrong.

Why did you leave?

I wanted to travel.

Funny reason.
Take this little fellow.

He left because his Pa
sold saw blades in West Berlin.

From his own factory.

We'll be back with a bang.
You can bet on it.

- What's in it for you?
- We'll tan your hide.

You'll learn what freedom is.

Or rub your butt with bootblack.
But that won't help.

You're already dirt.

Get up!
I want to sit there.

Get up!

When that stick came down
I got scared.

There were three of them.

It wasn't that.

We'll get all three, okay?

What is that?

- Coffee with tobacco.
- What?

In case they want to fly me out.
It gives you fever. Saw it in a movie.

- It gives you fever?
- Sure.

Crazy idea.

Suppose they draft us?

Let's go on to Holland.
They speak German.

Or India.
They're neutral there.

And if we went back and explained?

And if they don't believe you?
They're bound not to.

What a taste.

Maybe it's best to do nothing.

- We must stick together, Kohle.
- Sure we will.

Tomorrow we'll get the tall one.
I know a good grip. Works in seconds.

Night.

Night.

Sleep tight.

Sleep tight, Kohle.

Child Welfare asked about us.

Your daughter told them
she left because of me.

Not a word
about her street mates.

Why did they come by at all?
She's not my daughter.

- They were here.
- And.

- I talked to him.
- About what?

Angela and us, too.

What else could I do?

- Did you tell him we're...
- Yes, of course.

Great. Let's hope it gets around.

Why have we always
been coy at work?

After all,
I am your department head.

Trying to snare me, eh?

I tell you this,
The way things are we're through.

Listen. Don't take it so literally.
You know how people gossip.

I'm married.

I'd like you to go.

Why?

What we have is greater than this.

It's your fault.

Not mine.
Your girl runs off and you blame me.

I'm not blaming you for anything.
You always know how to behave.

- So that's how fast a love can end.
- Yes. That fast.

If you want a man again,
look in another department.

It's a question of taste.

Stop! Freeze! Police!

Stop! Freeze!

But how could it happen?

Push a bit.

It appears to be poisoning.

You were friends with him.

Would you step
into my office please, doctor?

It's a shame
you have no pass, isn't it?

You swine.

And Kohle is dead.

I wanted to find him
an apprenticeship.

Karl-Heinz will get 10 years.

Manslaughter.

What happens now?

Go home.

Angela will be glad to see you.

She's back at her mother's.

And when you go by
think about how it all came about.

Because I'm to blame.

- And you're to blame.
- I'm coming.

Where you won't find us
you'll find our enemies.

Make a fresh start, boy.

Subtitling: TITELBILD, Berlin
