You know what Lenin said about Beethoven's Appassionata.
547
00:54:25,233 --> 00:54:29,067
"lf l keep listening to it, l won't finish the revolution."
548
00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:36,045
Can anyone who has heard this music,
549
00:54:36,858 --> 00:54:38,824
l mean truly heard it,
550
00:54:39,940 --> 00:54:41,809
really be a bad person?
551
00:55:15,815 --> 00:55:18,077
Are you really with the Stasi?
552
00:55:23,815 --> 00:55:26,864
Do you even know what the Stasi is?
553
00:55:26,900 --> 00:55:31,699
Yes. They're bad men who put people in prison, says my dad.
554
00:55:33,483 --> 00:55:34,663
l see.
555
00:55:35,275 --> 00:55:37,289
What's the name of your...
556
00:55:40,608 --> 00:55:42,032
My what?
557
00:55:44,150 --> 00:55:46,704
Ball! What's the name of your ball?
558
00:55:46,775 --> 00:55:49,576
You're funny! Balls don't have names.
559
00:55:56,400 --> 00:55:58,561
lt's all in place, Minister.
560
00:55:59,150 --> 00:56:00,869
The latest technology.
561
00:56:01,440 --> 00:56:04,481
Behind every light switch, even in the toilet.
562
00:56:04,483 --> 00:56:05,856
Measure C in the hall...
563
00:56:05,858 --> 00:56:07,675
You said you'd find something!
564
00:56:07,900 --> 00:56:09,373
Find something!
565
00:56:10,190 --> 00:56:13,581
l'd advise even my worst enemy not to disappoint me.
566
00:56:17,233 --> 00:56:18,952
Now get out of here.
567
00:56:27,483 --> 00:56:29,940
Nowack, you're to watch Christa-Maria.
568
00:56:29,940 --> 00:56:33,431
You'll report on every minute that she's not with me.
569
00:56:35,565 --> 00:56:39,440
We revoked Hauser's travel permit for the culture conference.
570
00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:41,800
Maybe that'll lead to something.
571
00:56:41,900 --> 00:56:44,159
The two of them are very close.
572
00:56:45,358 --> 00:56:48,231
How's it going between CMS and the Minister?
573
00:56:48,233 --> 00:56:51,690
They're meeting tomorrow night, l think.
574
00:56:51,690 --> 00:56:53,148
That's good. Very good.
575
00:56:53,150 --> 00:56:56,048
We have a lot to gain from this love story.
576
00:56:57,483 --> 00:56:59,054
Or a lot to lose.
577
00:56:59,650 --> 00:57:01,222
Don't forget that.
578
00:57:14,108 --> 00:57:16,811
l used to be afraid of just two things:
579
00:57:17,650 --> 00:57:20,451
Being alone, and not being able to write.
580
00:57:22,190 --> 00:57:24,992
Since Albert's death, l don't care about writing
581
00:57:25,565 --> 00:57:27,434
or about other people.
582
00:57:28,815 --> 00:57:31,371
All l'm afraid of now is losing you.
583
00:57:32,733 --> 00:57:34,994
You needn't be afraid tonight.
584
00:57:37,065 --> 00:57:39,023
l'm just going out for a few hours.
585
00:57:39,025 --> 00:57:40,449
Where to?
586
00:57:41,315 --> 00:57:43,920
An old classmate's in town.
587
00:57:44,650 --> 00:57:46,222
Really, Christa?
588
00:57:48,815 --> 00:57:49,996
Really?
589
00:57:50,983 --> 00:57:52,407
How dare you.
590
00:57:55,815 --> 00:57:57,043
l know.
591
00:57:59,440 --> 00:58:01,456
l know where you're going.
592
00:58:04,483 --> 00:58:06,596
And l'm asking you not to go.
593
00:58:08,025 --> 00:58:09,744
You don't need him.
594
00:58:10,733 --> 00:58:12,157
You don't need him.
595
00:58:21,233 --> 00:58:23,592
l know about your medication, too.
596
00:58:25,315 --> 00:58:27,920
And how little faith you have in your talent.
597
00:58:29,483 --> 00:58:31,496
Have faith in me, at least.
598
00:58:33,815 --> 00:58:35,240
Christa-Maria.
599
00:58:36,775 --> 00:58:38,641
You are a great artist.
600
00:58:41,315 --> 00:58:42,641
l know that.
601
00:58:43,358 --> 00:58:45,619
And your audience knows it, too.
602
00:58:46,815 --> 00:58:48,487
You don't need him.
603
00:58:50,900 --> 00:58:52,570
You don't need him.
604
00:58:53,233 --> 00:58:54,510
Stay here.
605
00:58:55,940 --> 00:58:57,514
Don't go to him.
606
00:59:01,150 --> 00:59:02,376
No?
607
00:59:03,483 --> 00:59:05,054
Don't l need him?
608
00:59:06,315 --> 00:59:08,675
Don't l need this whole system?
609
00:59:12,233 --> 00:59:13,706
What about you?
610
00:59:15,150 --> 00:59:16,648
Then you don't need it either.
611
00:59:16,650 --> 00:59:18,222
Or need it even less.
612
00:59:19,565 --> 00:59:21,940
But you get in bed with them, too.
613
00:59:21,940 --> 00:59:23,612
Why do you do it?
614
00:59:24,315 --> 00:59:26,565
Because they can destroy you, too,
615
00:59:26,565 --> 00:59:29,416
despite your talent and your faith.
616
00:59:32,108 --> 00:59:34,416
Because they decide what we play,
617
00:59:34,483 --> 00:59:37,333
who is to act, and who can direct.
618
00:59:41,650 --> 00:59:44,204
You don't want to end up like Jerska.
619
00:59:44,650 --> 00:59:46,222
And neither do I.
620
00:59:47,315 --> 00:59:49,282
That's why I'm going now.
621
00:59:50,650 --> 00:59:53,155
GEORG: You're right about so many things,
622
00:59:53,733 --> 00:59:55,599
and I want to change so much.
623
00:59:58,815 --> 01:00:00,389
But l ask you,
624
01:00:01,025 --> 01:00:02,498
l implore you,
625
01:00:02,775 --> 01:00:03,856
don't go.
626
01:00:03,858 --> 01:00:04,940
(DOOR OPENlNG)
627
01:00:04,940 --> 01:00:07,103
Well, boss, am l on time?
628
01:00:07,650 --> 01:00:10,599
Let me guess what those two are doing...
629
01:00:11,315 --> 01:00:14,855
Bang, bang, bang! Come on, l'll take over.
630
01:00:14,900 --> 01:00:17,947
l don't want you to do overtime because of me.
631
01:00:27,815 --> 01:00:30,027
"Don't go through that door."
632
01:00:30,315 --> 01:00:31,936
Where's she going?
633
01:00:32,983 --> 01:00:37,259
To meet an old classmate.
634
01:00:41,733 --> 01:00:44,148
You'll have my detailed report tomorrow.
635
01:00:44,150 --> 01:00:45,869
l can manage.
636
01:00:49,400 --> 01:00:50,677
Good night.
637
01:01:44,233 --> 01:01:46,199
What are you staring at?
638
01:01:56,315 --> 01:01:57,594
Soda water.
639
01:02:00,150 --> 01:02:01,427
No...
640
01:02:02,233 --> 01:02:03,510
Vodka.
641
01:02:04,233 --> 01:02:05,460
Double.
642
01:02:12,315 --> 01:02:13,641
Another one.
643
01:02:29,233 --> 01:02:31,346
CHRlSTA: Can l have a cognac, please?
644
01:03:23,815 --> 01:03:24,996
Madam?
645
01:03:25,733 --> 01:03:27,994
Go away, l want to be alone.
646
01:03:28,983 --> 01:03:30,358
Ms. Sieland.
647
01:03:32,900 --> 01:03:34,690
Do we know each other?
648
01:03:34,690 --> 01:03:37,148
You don't know me, but l know you.
649
01:03:39,565 --> 01:03:41,434
Many people love you
650
01:03:41,815 --> 01:03:43,389
for who you are.
651
01:03:48,315 --> 01:03:50,440
Actors are never "who they are."
652
01:03:50,440 --> 01:03:51,668
You are.
653
01:03:58,565 --> 01:04:00,581
l've seen you on stage.
654
01:04:02,065 --> 01:04:06,440
You were more who you are
655
01:04:10,065 --> 01:04:11,639
than you are now.
656
01:04:15,983 --> 01:04:17,996
So you know what l'm like.
657
01:04:18,025 --> 01:04:19,744
l'm your audience.
658
01:04:26,815 --> 01:04:28,192
l have to go.
659
01:04:28,440 --> 01:04:29,621
Where to?
660
01:04:31,358 --> 01:04:34,110
l'm meeting an old classmate. l...
661
01:04:34,690 --> 01:04:35,918
You see?
662
01:04:36,358 --> 01:04:38,619
Just now you weren't being yourself.
663
01:04:40,483 --> 01:04:41,663
No?
664
01:04:41,983 --> 01:04:43,210
No.
665
01:04:55,983 --> 01:04:57,898
So you know her well,
666
01:04:58,065 --> 01:05:00,130
this Christa-Maria Sieland.
667
01:05:02,690 --> 01:05:04,411
What do you think...
668
01:05:05,150 --> 01:05:08,541
Would she hurt someone who loves her above all else?
669
01:05:12,858 --> 01:05:15,708
Would she sell herself for art?
670
01:05:16,065 --> 01:05:17,481
For art?
671
01:05:17,483 --> 01:05:21,168
You already have art. That'd be a bad deal.
672
01:05:22,858 --> 01:05:24,971
You are a great artist.
673
01:05:26,733 --> 01:05:28,452
Don't you know that?
674
01:05:33,400 --> 01:05:35,266
And you are a good man.
675
01:06:11,440 --> 01:06:14,773
When I begin my shift, "Lazlo" and CMS are arguing
676
01:06:14,775 --> 01:06:19,574
about whether CMS should meet her classmate.
677
01:06:19,858 --> 01:06:21,523
Eventually, she leaves.
678
01:06:21,525 --> 01:06:23,981
"Lazlo" seems unhappy about this.
679
01:06:25,983 --> 01:06:29,981
But after about 20 minutes, CMS returns
680
01:06:29,983 --> 01:06:32,391
to "Lazlo's" surprise, and mine.
681
01:06:32,565 --> 01:06:34,773
He seems very happy about this.
682
01:06:34,775 --> 01:06:37,181
Vigorous acts of intimacy follow.
683
01:06:41,483 --> 01:06:44,315
She says she'll never leave again.
684
01:06:44,315 --> 01:06:46,184
He says repeatedly,
685
01:06:46,400 --> 01:06:50,282
"Now I'll have the strength, now I'll do something."
686
01:06:50,315 --> 01:06:54,398
This likely refers to writing a new stage play.
687
01:06:54,400 --> 01:06:57,773
In recent weeks, "Lazlo's" playwriting
688
01:06:57,775 --> 01:06:59,838
had been plagued by difficulties.
689
01:06:59,983 --> 01:07:02,565
What she means by her statement is unclear.
690
01:07:02,565 --> 01:07:07,365
Perhaps she intends to take better care of his household.
691
01:07:07,650 --> 01:07:10,204
The rest of the night was peaceful.
692
01:07:10,233 --> 01:07:12,739
Oh, Comrade...
693
01:07:13,108 --> 01:07:14,827
lt's just because...
694
01:07:15,065 --> 01:07:16,934
He's sleeping, too...
695
01:07:18,440 --> 01:07:19,766
Good report.
696
01:07:22,815 --> 01:07:23,996
Really?
697
01:07:42,650 --> 01:07:45,351
l didn't know he was in such a bad way.
698
01:07:49,025 --> 01:07:50,498
Neither did l.
699
01:07:57,650 --> 01:08:00,304
"On One Who Made it to the Other Side."
700
01:08:00,315 --> 01:08:03,856
The statistics office on Hans Beimler Street
701
01:08:03,858 --> 01:08:06,166
counts everything, knows everything.
702
01:08:06,483 --> 01:08:09,579
How many shoes I buy a year: 2.3.
703
01:08:09,690 --> 01:08:12,523
How many books I read a year: 3.2.
704
01:08:12,525 --> 01:08:16,106
And how many pupils graduate with straight A's every year:
705
01:08:16,108 --> 01:08:18,466
6347.
706
01:08:19,233 --> 01:08:22,426
But there is one thing they don't count,
707
01:08:22,815 --> 01:08:26,305
maybe because even bureaucrats find it painful,
708
01:08:26,483 --> 01:08:28,154
and that's suicides.
709
01:08:28,649 --> 01:08:31,399
If you call Beimler Street to ask
710
01:08:31,399 --> 01:08:34,048
how many people between the Elbe and the Oder,
711
01:08:34,050 --> 01:08:36,215
between the Baltic Sea and the Ore Mountains,
712
01:08:36,216 --> 01:08:37,649
despair drove to their death,
713
01:08:37,649 --> 01:08:42,449
our numbers oracle is silent. But it may just note your name
714
01:08:42,733 --> 01:08:44,207
for State Security,
715
01:08:44,774 --> 01:08:48,559
those gray men who ensure safety in our land
716
01:08:48,983 --> 01:08:50,407
and happiness.
717
01:08:50,858 --> 01:08:55,658
In 1977, our country stopped counting suicides.
718
01:08:55,858 --> 01:08:59,051
They called them "self-murderers."
719
01:08:59,858 --> 01:09:03,199
But it has nothing to do with murder.
720
01:09:03,358 --> 01:09:07,536
It knows no bloodlust, no heated passion.
721
01:09:08,315 --> 01:09:12,248
It knows only death, the death of all hope.
722
01:09:13,108 --> 01:09:15,814
When we stopped counting,
723
01:09:15,815 --> 01:09:19,796
only one country in Europe drove more people to their death:
724
01:09:19,983 --> 01:09:21,399
Hungary.
725
01:09:21,399 --> 01:09:26,199
We came next, the land of "Real Existing Socialism."
726
01:09:26,315 --> 01:09:31,115
One of the uncounted is Albert Jerska, the great director.
727
01:09:31,358 --> 01:09:34,421
(DOORBELL RlNGS) It's him I want to talk about today...

01:21:29,815 --> 01:21:32,027
l have to show you something.
910
01:21:32,858 --> 01:21:37,064
"Prison Conditions for Subversive Artists.
911
01:21:37,065 --> 01:21:40,310
"Based on Character Profile." Pretty scientific, eh?
912
01:21:41,108 --> 01:21:42,680
And look at this.
913
01:21:44,690 --> 01:21:47,481
"Dissertation Supervisor: A. Grubitz."
914
01:21:47,483 --> 01:21:50,087
That's great, isn't it?
915
01:21:52,315 --> 01:21:54,724
l only gave him a B.
916
01:21:54,774 --> 01:21:58,149
They shouldn't think getting a doctorate with me is easy.
917
01:21:58,149 --> 01:22:00,481
But this is first-class.
918
01:22:00,483 --> 01:22:05,283
Did you know that there are just five types of artists?
919
01:22:05,565 --> 01:22:08,856
Your guy, Dreyman, is a Type 4.
920
01:22:08,858 --> 01:22:11,606
A "hysterical anthropocentrist."
921
01:22:11,608 --> 01:22:14,981
Can't bear being alone, always talking, needing friends.
922
01:22:14,983 --> 01:22:17,231
That type should never be brought to trial.
923
01:22:17,233 --> 01:22:18,952
They thrive on that.
924
01:22:19,774 --> 01:22:24,314
Temporary detention is the best way to deal with them.
925
01:22:24,315 --> 01:22:27,564
Complete isolation and no set release date.
926
01:22:27,565 --> 01:22:31,314
No human contact the whole time, not even with the guards.
927
01:22:31,315 --> 01:22:35,981
Good treatment, no harassment, no abuse, no scandals,
928
01:22:35,983 --> 01:22:39,029
nothing they could write about later.
929
01:22:39,524 --> 01:22:42,572
After 10 months, we release.
930
01:22:43,065 --> 01:22:46,981
Suddenly, that guy won't cause us any more trouble.
931
01:22:46,983 --> 01:22:49,189
Know what the best part is?
932
01:22:49,190 --> 01:22:52,981
Most Type 4s we've processed in this way
933
01:22:52,983 --> 01:22:54,981
never write anything again.
934
01:22:54,983 --> 01:22:58,606
Or paint anything, or whatever artists do...
935
01:22:58,608 --> 01:23:02,442
And that without any use of force. Just like that.
936
01:23:02,774 --> 01:23:04,198
Kind of
937
01:23:05,274 --> 01:23:06,748
like a present.

That's why l'm here.

For what?
943
01:23:20,733 --> 01:23:23,730
For us to slim down the operation.
944

l don't want to run day and night shifts
945
01:23:27,983 --> 01:23:29,856
for such an uncertain case.
946
01:23:29,858 --> 01:23:31,430
Uncertain, huh?
947
01:23:32,649 --> 01:23:36,314
You don't think we'll find anything for the Minister?
948
01:23:36,315 --> 01:23:38,970
Maybe if we're more flexible.
949
01:23:39,565 --> 01:23:43,006
lf we watch "Lazlo" outside his own four walls.
950
01:23:46,983 --> 01:23:49,341
Shall l give the case to Udo?
951
01:23:49,565 --> 01:23:52,024
l'd like to continue it myself.
952
01:23:53,315 --> 01:23:54,594
Why?

954
01:23:58,358 --> 01:24:00,667
l just need to plan more flexibly.

956
01:24:06,815 --> 01:24:09,175
Maybe he's up to something outside.
957
01:24:13,815 --> 01:24:16,372
Something doesn't feel right here.
958
01:24:19,483 --> 01:24:21,448
There's something you're hiding.
959
01:24:29,649 --> 01:24:32,402
All right, l'll take Udo off the case.
960
01:24:33,358 --> 01:24:36,256
l can use him for this church case.
961
01:24:36,774 --> 01:24:38,856
Give me a request in writing.
962
01:24:38,858 --> 01:24:42,740
Write as a reason, "Lack of suspicious acts."

a text by an unnamed East German author
988
01:29:00,065 --> 01:29:03,689
about suicide in the German Democratic Republic.
989
01:29:03,690 --> 01:29:05,981
This follows a series of suicides
990
01:29:05,983 --> 01:29:07,564
by prominent East-Berlin artists,
991
01:29:07,565 --> 01:29:10,814
the latest being Albert Jerska.

After being blacklisted for seven years,
993

Jerska committed suicide on January 5th.
994
01:29:17,233 --> 01:29:19,899
In 1977, the GDR ceased publishing
995
01:29:19,899 --> 01:29:22,454
any data relating to suicides.
996
01:29:22,483 --> 01:29:27,283

Andrea, where's the graphologist?
1008
01:30:02,315 --> 01:30:06,606
Thus l conclude that it is a domestic typewriter,
1009
01:30:06,608 --> 01:30:11,408
produced for export, most likely a "Kolibri" travel model,
1010
01:30:11,733 --> 01:30:16,533
made by the VEB Groma. lf the ink were black, l could be more precise.

Who owns such a typewriter?
1012
01:30:19,899 --> 01:30:22,439
There are none registered in the GDR.

What does that mean? What does Hauser use?
1014
01:30:25,149 --> 01:30:29,814
Paul Hauser uses a "Valentino" typewriter, made by Olivetti.
1015

That model has a more horizontal...

1017
01:30:36,024 --> 01:30:38,875
He writes on an Optima "Elite."

Georg Dreyman?
1019
01:30:41,608 --> 01:30:44,439
He writes his first drafts by hand,
1020
01:30:44,440 --> 01:30:47,524
then types them up on a Wanderer "Torpedo."
1021
01:30:47,524 --> 01:30:49,735
He's never used anything else.
1022
01:30:52,440 --> 01:30:56,024
How big is this Kolibri typewriter?
1023
01:30:56,024 --> 01:30:59,231
lt's one of the smallest available:

19.5 cm x 9 cm x 19.5 cm.

l've concluded the mission, Comrade Dreyman.
1276

We must have received an erroneous tip-off. Sorry.

Come on.

There's one thing you should understand, Wiesler.

Your career is over.
1280
01:57:04,899 --> 01:57:08,144
Even if you were too smart to leave any traces.
1281
01:57:09,315 --> 01:57:14,115
You'll end up in some cellar, steam-opening letters until you retire.

That means the next 20 years.

20 years.

No, sister. Believe me. He fell to his death.

1306

You've not written since the Wall fell?

That's not good.

02:00:21,524 --> 02:00:24,079
After all our country invested in you.

Although l understand you, Dreyman.
1320
02:00:28,108 --> 02:00:31,105
What is there to write about in this new Germany?
1321
02:00:31,483 --> 02:00:35,612
Nothing to believe in, nothing to rebel against...
1322
02:00:39,024 --> 02:00:41,579
Life was good in our little Republic.
1323
02:00:42,190 --> 02:00:44,304
Many people only realize that now.
1324
02:00:44,765 --> 02:00:46,681
There is one thing l do need to ask you.

Whatever you want.

You were under full surveillance.

We knew everything about you.
1331
02:01:08,483 --> 02:01:10,055
Full surveillance?
1332
02:01:11,190 --> 02:01:13,009
Every inch was bugged.

OPERATlON "LAZLO"
1347
02:04:38,274 --> 02:04:41,149
Operation "Lazlo," subject: Georg Dreyman,
1348
02:04:41,149 --> 02:04:43,509
code name: "Lazlo," is launched.
1349
02:04:43,815 --> 02:04:47,551
The lead came from Minister Bruno Hempf.
1350
02:04:50,149 --> 02:04:51,814
"Lazlo" takes delivery
1351
02:04:51,815 --> 02:04:56,615
of a daily Western newspaper without official permission.
1352
02:04:56,649 --> 02:04:59,981
I suggest not taking any action
1353
02:04:59,983 --> 02:05:03,128
so as not to arouse suspicion of surveillance.
1354
02:05:04,440 --> 02:05:07,242
"Lazlo" and CMS unwrap presents,
1355
02:05:07,274 --> 02:05:09,681
then presumably have intercourse.
1356
02:05:19,483 --> 02:05:23,809
The visitor was Paul Hauser's uncle from West Berlin.
1357
02:05:23,815 --> 02:05:26,024
They tell him about a play
1358
02:05:26,024 --> 02:05:28,149
that Hauser and "Lazlo" will write
1359
02:05:28,149 --> 02:05:30,556
for the GDR's 40th anniversary.
1360
02:05:34,358 --> 02:05:37,649
We expect further information on the play,
1361
02:05:37,649 --> 02:05:39,614
a plot summary, etc.
1362
02:05:41,774 --> 02:05:43,886

02:05:49,524 --> 02:05:52,030
he sticks to his revolutionary plans.
1366
02:05:53,983 --> 02:05:56,095

I, Christa-Maria Sieland,
1370
02:06:24,483 --> 02:06:26,774
freely commit myself to work unofficially
1371
02:06:26,774 --> 02:06:30,264
for State Security.
1372
02:06:30,440 --> 02:06:33,488
This decision is the result of my conviction that...
1373
02:06:39,858 --> 02:06:42,899
Georg Dreyman wrote the Spiegel article,
1374
02:06:42,899 --> 02:06:44,981
"One Who Made it to the Other Side."
1375
02:06:44,983 --> 02:06:48,324
His accomplices were the journalist Paul Hauser...
1376
02:06:57,149 --> 02:07:00,481
Christa-Maria Sieland was arrested on March 10th
1377
02:07:00,483 --> 02:07:04,266
for drug abuse, on Minister Hempf's indication.
1378
02:07:04,358 --> 02:07:07,899
She was released at 1:50 p.m. on March 11th,
1379
02:07:07,899 --> 02:07:11,149
having revealed "Lazlo's" hiding place
1380
02:07:11,149 --> 02:07:15,377
and signing up as informant "Marta."
1381

1382
02:07:24,315 --> 02:07:25,789
So when did she...
1383
02:07:25,858 --> 02:07:30,658
After the unsuccessful house search of March 11, 1985
1384
02:07:30,774 --> 02:07:33,189
and "Marta's" fatal accident,
1385
02:07:33,190 --> 02:07:35,550
Operation "Lazlo" was terminated.
1386
02:07:39,399 --> 02:07:44,149
Note: HGW's promotion ban takes effect immediately.
1387
02:07:44,149 --> 02:07:47,606
Transfer to Department M, with the recommendation
1388
02:07:47,608 --> 02:07:51,686
not to entrust him with missions under his sole responsibility.
1389
02:07:52,940 --> 02:07:57,740
10:50 a.m.: Resume surveillance outside "Lazlo's" house.
1390
02:08:00,483 --> 02:08:02,939
At 3:10 p.m., "Marta" comes directly
1391
02:08:02,940 --> 02:08:05,814
from Hohenschönhausen to his apartment.
1392
02:08:05,815 --> 02:08:08,912
House search and report to follow.
1393
02:08:09,649 --> 02:08:11,731
End of Operation "Lazlo."
1394
02:08:11,733 --> 02:08:14,926
