I think I'm going to write a diary.

We've got Adolf Hitler's diaries.

You're publishing the diaries?
When were you going to tell me?

The diaries are fake.

I've read them.

Did you break in here?

Out. And I mean right now.

An expert confirmed
the diaries are real.

- They mustn't publish.
- It's down to you.

The history of the Third Reich
must in large part be rewritten.

I have grave doubts.

I hit the jackpot of my life with you.

- If this goes wrong...
- Don't ruin this for us.

...I'll finish you.

If my name comes out,
then I'll see you go to prison.

HITLER'S DIARIES DISCOVERED

This is, of course,
an exceptional discovery.

May I ask
how much you paid for the diaries?

I'll tell you this much.
It was several million.

Could you be more precise?

And how much
have you earned from it so far?

Let me put it this way.

We've increased circulation
to 2.3 million

and how much
we're earning as a result

remains our little secret.

Your smug attitude
gets on my nerves.

Mr. Müller, your party is quite new,
so I'm happy to forgive you

for not having a clue
how to behave during a TV debate.

You and your stupid
titty paper

are just chucking
the alleged Hitler diaries at us.

No expert opinion,
no information about their origin.

You can't think
you're going to get away with this.

That’s exactly the image
people have of your party.

Anyone who doesn't fit your philosophy

is attacked in an aggressive way--

Everything that's improper,
because it's immoral...

Yes, we do have a problem with that.

The Commies. First green,
then red, like tomatoes.

Gentlemen. Gentlemen.

But I have to agree with Mr. Müller.

With so much doubt
as to the authenticity of the diaries,

it would be appropriate
to reveal the source.

We've always
protected our informants.

- And will continue to do so.
- As long as you're earning money...

That's decent of Gerd.

His ass is on the line.

If he betrays me, I'll betray him, too.

And I've already told him that.

I bet Gerd always skimmed
money off my payments.

That would be...

That would be embezzlement.

And you go to jail for that.

There were already doubts
at the press conference.

How do you intend to deal with those?

Although we were
not obliged to do so,

we handed over
several complete volumes

to the police
for comprehensive testing.

- What's being tested?
- Certainly not the smell.

The materials, of course.

Ink, paper...

Examine the materials,
but ignore the content.

The moderator is a Nazi himself.

He wrote for the Nazi paper,
Der Stürmer.

One final question.

Let's assume
that the diaries are forgeries.

- They're not forgeries.
- Who takes on the responsibility?

Will you then have
to step down, Mr. Michaelis,

or will Gerd Heidemann
be blamed for all this?

So, either we get another
real question now, or we can...

Ladies and gentlemen,
you can see the gentlemen from Stern

are rather thin-skinned,
understandably so,

because over a few days, it's been
up and down, scoop or scandal.

Stay tuned for a superb documentary
from our popular series

Old Rhineland Crafts:
The Mousetrap Makers.

And we're off air.

This stupid speculation.

This isn't journalism.

From you of all people,
I'd have expected more.

By the way, I could care less
whether they're real or not.

It's good that
something like this is being published.

People are finally getting
a different picture of Adolf Hitler.

Heidemann, pull yourself together.

I hope you realize that...

Damn it, I'm risking my whole career
for these diaries that I never wanted.

I'm the one who's going
to have to step down if this is...

So...

I'm going to ask you one last time.

Are these diaries really genuine...

or is there a fucking Nazi
sitting somewhere,

writing this far-right filth?

It now looks like the trap
has reached its final shape.

- The end piece...
- You're leaving?

- Yes.
- But didn't you hear?

The mousetrap maker
documentary is on now.

Yeah, I'm really torn now.

Watching the documentary with you
or picking up Schmuel at the airport.

Well, if I had a VCR,
I'd record it for you.

If I had a VCR, I wouldn't use it
to watch that documentary.

Elisabeth speaking.

- Who was it?
- My father.

What does he want?

For me to go to his lecture tomorrow.

Will you go?

The diaries are fake.

- Did the Criminal Police call?
- No.

- The interior minister was informed.
- So?

If they hadn't found anything,
they wouldn't have told the minister.

Do we know what they found?

My source said
something about a whitener.

Blankophor. A paper whitener that's
only been around sin the mid-'50s.

What a fucking mess!

Oh, good grief.

Gerd, calm down.

It's perfectly normal
that they found whitener in the paper.

No, there was this Jewish
concentration camp scientist,

who actually...

Well, he was...

He was the first
to mix whitener in paper.

That was as early as 1942.

Well, or much, much earlier.

In a concentration camp? Much earlier?

No, that was...
The concentration camp was later,

but he was the first one
who supplied Hitler

with special paper, very early on,
with special white paper.

And can you prove that?

There's this former SS printing works.

I can't remember exactly where it is.
Near here, in south Germany.

They just kept going after the war.

They're still there. They should know...

They should know about that.

Good. Konny, I'll look into it.

Good. Hey, Gerd, listen.

Now, let's say if...

if this should all go wrong...

my identity is safe, isn't it?

I won't betray you,
but if I don't find anything

about this
concentration camp scientist,

the pressure here
will be immense.

Well, Gerd,

then you'd better find something.

Yes.

Bye, Gerd.

Agnes.

Now we do have
to start packing our bags.

Shit.

Gabi, we're leaving tomorrow.

Get ready.

- Morning.
- Morning.

We'll continue where we left off
in the last lecture.

Justification.

Today, we are dealing specifically
with necessity as justification.

We are...

examining the culpability...

of Hans S.

The SS unit
Hans S. was part of

murdered 86 civilians in France in 1944.

Known as the
Ascq massacre.

So, war crimes, murder.

German Criminal Code section 211.
How do we proceed?

We clarify the commission of offense

according to section 25
of the Criminal Code.

Did Hans S. aid the crime,
did he abet the crime,

or was he
a joint offender?

He carried out an order.

He got the men from the village
out of their beds

and rounded them up
at the railway station.

- And he shot them.
- A joint offender.

Well, that's why he's punished
the same as a sole offender.

Are there any mitigating factors?

Was he drunk, mentally ill, et cetera?

No. No, he wasn't.

Is there any justification?

Would he have been shot
if he had not shot?

No, he wouldn’t have been.

I...

am this Hans S.

I shot at innocent men.

And I don't know if my bullets killed anyone
or just those of my comrades.

In any case,
we killed 86 people that night.

Awful.

You have to believe me
that I didn't enjoy shooting them.

I could have said I was ill
or shot to miss.

You should have tried
to stop the others from doing it.

- That's right, yes. I should have.
- Why didn't you?

I didn't have it in me then.

Is that supposed to be an excuse?

No excuse. No justification.

No statute of limitations.

But... I

was convicted of murder
in absentia in France in 1949.

That's why I can't be tried
again in Germany.

- This is a bad joke.
- Murderer!

Fucking Nazi!

Murderer!

Fuck off.

- Nazi pig.
- Let's get out of here now!

Nazi pig.

I didn't have it in me then...

but I did everything I could
to make sure you had it in you.

Elisabeth, I'll take
the train to France today.

And turn myself in
to the French authorities in Lille tomorrow.

- Heidemann speaking.
- It's Felix.

Now Der Spiegel's reporting
that the police found whiteners.

No problem. I'm on my way to a former
SS printing plant in south Germany.

Why's that, then?

I'm sure they can confirm that Hitler
already used this modern paper

with whitener in it and all that.

- Was that the case?
- Yes, it must have been.

It couldn't have been any other way.

Felix, quick. The Criminal Police
are holding a press conference.

- Channel One or Two?
- Two.

Felix, are you still there?

Bloom?

We interrupt this program
to bring you breaking news.

According to
the Federal Criminal Police Office,

the Hitler diaries published
by Stern magazine are forged.

Optical brighteners
were used in the paper,

which were only used
in paper production after 1955.

The remaining materials
also come from post-war production.

that is, after Adolf Hitler's death.

Turn it up, please.

The police describe it
as a clumsy forgery.

Clumsy forgery.

They're crazy. Clumsy forgery...

I'd like to see them forge
that many volumes so quickly.

My goodness, Konny,
that doesn't matter anymore.

You'd better just step on it.

They'll be breathing
down our necks soon.

Clumsy forgery.

Stern is still trying to prove
the authenticity of the diaries.

But it can be assumed
that the forged Hitler diaries

are the biggest scandal

the German media landscape
has ever seen.

And now on with our program.

Thanks.

He really did it.

Someone from
the gendarmerie in Lille called.

They wanted me
to confirm my dad's details.

What your father did is..

Unforgivable.

Yes,

but the fact he turned himself in
is extraordinary.

He'll never get out of prison.

You've lost your father.

It was the only way not to lose him.

We interrupt our program
for a special news bulletin.

According to
the Federal Criminal Police Office,

the diaries of Adolf Hitler
published by Stern

are clearly forgeries.

We have...

Yes!

Yes!

Yes!

Gerd?

Heidemann. Heidemann!

Heidemann. Gerd!

Are you even listening to me?

Now, give us the names...

This is your last chance..

Gerd. Gerd, listen.

This is your last chance, Heidemann!

- Pull yourself together!
- Heidemann!

- Gerd.
- Wake up!

Gerd...

- Heidemann!
- Give us the names!

What am I doing here?
I shouldn't be here.

I should be in south Germany
looking for that scientist.

Heidemann, shut up now. Okay?

This concentration camp scientist.

There were no Jews
in concentration camps in the early '30s.

Besides, the whitener
isn't the only problem.

The ink, the cord, the binding,

not to mention
the errors in the content.

So either you're crazy,

or you've deceived us.

Gabi!

Hurry up, damn it.

Couldn't you have waited
until after the border?

A few minutes
won't make any difference.

You know that, do you?

If Gerd gives away my name,
it could happen very fast.

He'll be in real trouble now,
Gerd will be.

I don't want him to lose his job.

Don't go on.

I've got bigger problems
than Gerd possibly losing his job.

The greedy pig.

He called me.

“I need the Hitler diaries,
I need the Hitler diaries!”

And now we have to cross the border.

Gabi!

If it's true
that the forgery was clumsy...

It wasn't.

Why didn't anyone at Stern
notice before?

Honey, why don't women
leave their unfaithful husbands, huh?

You think all men are criminal geniuses,

who don't make mistakes
when they screw around, huh?

Nah.

We make mistakes. Lots of mistakes.

We smell of perfume,
we have lipstick on our collars,

our mistress keeps calling...

But women don't want to know.

Women want to believe
they have a faithful husband at home.

Yes.

Sometimes it's just
damn easy to be a cheat.

- We can go.
- Yes.

I won't reveal my source.

I don't give a shit
about your journalistic ethics.

I want to know
where you got those diaries.

- Can I have something to drink?
- No.

Maybe we could stop for a minute.
I'd like to take a shower.

- I'm exhausted.
- No, forget it.

Where did you get those diaries?

Bloom?

Yes, I...

I never talked to him myself.

Gerd took care of everything.

Come on, now. Spit it out.

What's his name?

And remember, my name is Udo.
My passport says Udo.

- Good evening.
- Good evening.

- Here you are.
- Thanks.

Leave us.

Please.

I just want to go home.

And you can, Heidemann.

Just give me the name and address
of the supplier...

and you can go.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

- Thank you.
- Bye.

- Bye.
- Stop. Just a moment.

You're from Germany, aren't you?

- Yes.
- Yes.

Do you have a copy
of the latest issue of Stern?

No, no, unfortunately not.

But you should get one quickly,
because it'll be priceless soon.

- Good.
- Yes.

Thanks.

- Bye.
- Yeah, go, Agnes.

Take it easy now, take it easy.

Take it easy, not too fast.

I think we're through. We did it.

Yeah, we did it.

Take it easy,
take it easy now.

I think I'm starting to get it.

The dealer could harm you.

He's got something on you.

Gerd, you just have to
choose the right side now.

Fischer.

Konrad Fischer.

Fischer is the man's name.
Konrad Fischer.

Dr. Konrad Fischer.

Good morning, ladies.

Gabi, let me out, please.
I have to pee very urgently.

Thanks.

After it became known yesterday
that the Hitler diaries were forged,

we talked to
a few people on the street.

- There's something about the diaries.
- Turn it up.

...the Hitler diaries,
I knew something was up.

I'd love to know who's behind this.

So clever to come up
with an idea like that.

It's really pretty funny
but quite embarrassing for Stern.

It's a shame
the diaries are fake.

I'd have liked to know
what the Führer was like in private.

They must have been pretty good fakes
for them to have fallen for it.

Madness, total madness.

What a genius, that forger.

Anyone who fooled Stern like that
has a lot of admirers.

So, if we hurry now,
we'll be in Graz in a few hours.

My grandparents said
we could sleep in the basement.

- Hey, I...
- Well?

I think I'll go back.

What do you mean? To Germany?

Yes, I'll...

I'm going to turn myself in.

Are you crazy? They'll send you to jail.

I think it's best
you two take the Golf

and go to Gabi's grandmother's
until things calm down a bit.

You're such an egotistical asshole.

And look after the sports bag.

Is he crazy?

He'd rather be
in the limelight in prison

than somewhere secluded in the sun.

Oh, my God, he's alive.

I was already
assuming the worst.

I slept well.

I didn't make breakfast.

It'd have been embarrassing.

I'd make breakfast,
and you wouldn't want to stay.

I'd love to stay for breakfast.

Then, of course, I made breakfast.

But maybe
we can have breakfast later.

Then, of course,
I didn't make breakfast.

Eli, phone for you. It's Stern.

Sit down, please.

Right.

Elisabeth.

I owe you an apology.

Obviously,
we should have listened to you.

Your dismissal
hasn't been processed yet,

and Stern now desperately needs
someone to review this whole affair.

And to do it thoroughly.

- Me?
- Yes. Get to the bottom of this.

Regardless of who's involved.

You have free rein.

- Come on, lass. Say yes, huh?
- Yeah, sure. I'd love to.

All right.

Yeah, we really fucked up on this one.

I still can't believe
we didn't do a full handwriting analysis,

or a proper analysis of the materials.

Do you remember
what you said at my job interview?

Well, probably exactly the same
as at all other job interviews.

That as journalists we not only
have to check the truth of a story,

but also whether
we should publish the story at all.

Well, but I mean...

in this case..

Yes, now I have to give myself credit.

It was Theo's idea
to bring you back.

You're a pain in the ass,
but you're just right for this job.

Well, now we just have to figure out
which job you are right for.

Good morning.

Morning.

See? Only we can do that.

Dark rye bread.

Name me one country in the world
that has good dark rye bread.

True. That's the problem with France.

After a few weeks,
you get sick of baguettes.

- You really don't have to worry.
- I'm not worried at all.

Good.

You know what?

I'll cook duck breast tonight.

Some Brussels sprouts,
bread dumplings,

and you open one of your young reds.

I think I have a bottle of cognac
lying around somewhere.

Listen, Gerd.

Your Dr. Fischer's real name
is Konrad Kujau

and he's a petty criminal...

and a forger.

What's his name?

I'm Konrad Kujau.

I'm the one
who forged the Hitler diaries.

- Oh, right, it's you.
- Yes.

- It was on the radio.
- Exactly.

- Right, so...
- Can you prove it?

- What do you mean?
- Well, you want to cross the border.

You claim that this passport is forged.

- But it doesn't look forged at all.
- Thanks.

You say your name is actually Kujau,
not really Fischer...

How can we let you leave the country?

Not leave the country.
I don't want to leave.

You should arrest me.

For what?

Well, what do I know? For...

We're certainly not going
to arrest anyone here.

It’s actually a much stronger story.
Hitler diaries forged.

Stern is at rock bottom.

Credibility's gone.
A lot of good people have left.

Yeah, and I'll probably be next.

Gerd, we've already caused
one hell of an upheaval.

"We"?

Dreier wanted the story.

The publishing house
screwed up on the expert's report.

Come on, Gerd.
Screw the expert's report.

That's not the point.

The first time you read me
the diaries, alarm bells rang.

Yes. Adolf doesn't want
to give Eva a puppy?

Is that what our grandkids
were going to have to learn at school?

Felix, we write newspaper articles,
not textbooks.

As journalists, we had a duty
to publish these diaries.

You really don't get it.

Oh, Felix?

And those alarm bells that supposedly
went off right at the beginning?

They couldn't have been
that loud, could they?

And then I told the reporter
that the truck driver

transporting the pianos,
which the diaries were inside,

that he broke into a slot machine
at a service station,

and that's why he didn't go
to Stuttgart, but went to Kassel

and spent all his money
in a whorehouse.

And while he was mattress dancing,
an unknown person

happened to steal the very piano
which contained the diaries.

My gosh,
I don't believe it.

I think my taxi's here.

Well, boys, it's been a real pleasure.

See you soon.

Bye.

- All the best, Mr...
- Kujau, Konrad Kujau.

- I'll remember it now.
- I'm sure you will.

So?

What is it?

I've been dismissed from Stern.

God, this is embarrassing.

Yes?

In the living room.

Gerd?

Gerd!

- Mr. Gerd Heidemann?
- Yes, that's me.

You're under arrest.

Arrest?

- Why am I under arrest?
- Oh, God.

Isabell.

Well, there you have it.

“I hereby appoint
Correctional Officer Marquardt

“as new director of Fuhlsbüttel Prison
with immediate effect.

“Yours sincerely, Adolf Hitler.”

- Here you are.
- Amazing! My wife will freak out.

And if you need anything,
Mr. Kujau--

Oh, no need to be so formal.
I'm Konny.

Konny, let me know
if you need anything else.

Well, as you're asking,

maybe a pen, ink,
and some old GDR log books.

Gerd.

Isabell?

Couldn't she come
or didn't she want to?

We have more important things
to discuss.

Stern is accusing you of embezzlement.

It things go badly...

you'll be in jail for a while.

I delivered everything
to Fischer.

- To Kujau.
- Yes, but I didn't embezzle anything.

I don't care. I'm only interested
in whether we can prove it.

I don't know
if Kujau will tell the truth.

I'm sure he's angry
because I revealed his identity.

But if he lies,

I recorded almost all our conversations.

- The ones about money, too?
- Yes.

The sums are mentioned.

Everything I bring him and so on.

It's jumbled up,
but the sums are mentioned.

If we can prove it
with the tapes, then...

then there's nothing on me, is there?

Then they have to acquit me, don't they?

It's described as the biggest
press scandal in post-war history.

- Friedel!
- What did Stern know?

What did
“sleuth” Gerd Heidemann know?

Where have the Stern millions gone?

How could Stern be fooled...

We will prove that Heidemann
did not embezzle money

and we will also prove
Heidemann acted on behalf of Stern.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

No, I'm sorry.

Your honor, ladies and gentlemen.

HAMBURG DISTRICT COURT

In the first part of the trial
we will hear from Stern employees

to clarify whether Gerd Heidemann
deliberately deceived Stern.

It was Gerd Heidemann
who brought the idea

of the Hitler diaries to Stern.

It was also he who first made Stern
believe that Hitler had written diaries.

We will prove
with various witness statements

that Gerd Heidemann acted alone,

a journalistic rampage
by a lone perpetrator, so to speak.

I would first like to call Mr. Michaelis
to the witness stand.

I had expressly ordered Mr. Heidemann

to keep his hands off
this Nazi material.

Yes, Mr. Michaelis wasn't
that interested in the story,

but he didn't say
the story couldn't be investigated.

I hardly remember anything.

I wasn't really in the loop either.

This is a written agenda from
a working lunch on Heidemann's yacht.

Written by Felix Bloom.

One of the items on the agenda
is the story of the Hitler diaries.

So I relied entirely
on Gerd Heidemann's judgement.

He swore to me that
there was nothing wrong with the diaries.

My job was to provide the diaries,

Stern's job
was to check their authenticity.

Today, the day has finally arrived.

The forger is answering
questions in court.

Can this notorious liar
really be trusted?

Will Kujau tell the truth under oath?

Did Gerd Heidemann
really embezzle money?

Everything now depends
on Kujau's testimony.

Don't bust my balls, Konny.

Ha, why should I?
Nothing but the truth, Gerd.

Quiet now.

Mr. Kujau.

You are a witness,
but also a defendant in the case,

which means you do not have to
incriminate yourself

and can consult
with your lawyer at any time.

Have you understood that?

- Just about, yes.
- The prosecution may proceed.

Thanks. Mr. Kujau, what was your
first impression of Gerd Heidemann?

Nice, very obliging.

He gave me a Göring uniform
the first time we met.

As a present, right? He'd never worn it.

What is your relationship
with Gerd Heidemann like?

How close are you?

Well, we're about four meters apart now.

Sorry, no, sorry.

In all seriousness,

did Mr. Heidemann give you the idea

to forge the Hitler diaries
in the first place?

No, I wouldn't say that.

I wouldn't say that at all, no.

Did he give you the idea
to write Hitler the way you wrote him?

Oh, no, no.

That was a bit of artistic freedom.

I just tried to imagine
what Hitler was like.

Good, thanks. That's enough.

Now we come
to the financial side.

Stern provided
no less than 9.3 million marks

for the acquisition
of the Hitler diaries.

How much of this 9.3 million marks

did the defendant Heidemann
hand over to you?

9.3 million?

Well, it'll be...

I don't know exactly, but two,
two and a half million. Around that.

Two and a half million?

- Yes.
- Wait.

If my calculations are correct,

that would mean Mr. Heidemann
embezzled 6.8 million marks.

- That's a lie.
- I've no reason to lie, Gerd.

Please remain calm. Sit down.

It's obvious Kujau'll say it's less.
That way he has less to pay back.

As far as I know,
he hasn't paid anything back.

Neither have you.

But I haven't
embezzled anything!

Your honor, we anticipated
Mr. Kujau's testimony

and offer evidence to refute it.

I'm listening.

My client has recorded
almost all his conversations with Mr. Kujau.

These recordings prove
Mr. Kujau is not telling the truth

and that my client
did not embezzle money.

May I ask you and the prosecution counsel
to come to my chambers?

We must discuss whether we can
admit these tapes as evidence.

Court is adjourned.

- I'm glad you came, Isabell.
- Well, it's my duty.

Gerd.

Gerd. The tapes will not
be admitted as evidence.

- Why?
- Unlawful recordings.

Gerd, personally,
I would make a confession.

Excuse me?

What do you mean, make a confession?
I didn't embezzle anything.

I didn't embezzle anything.

And unlike you, I still believe
in justice and in this court.

That's out of the question.

Gerd, I'm proud of you
for not caving in now.

That shows true greatness.

And this is the Gerd Heidemann
I fell in love with.

But I hope you realize
that if you really are convicted

and have to go to prison,
I have to protect myself.

We'll stay in touch?

In the name of the people,
the following sentence is passed.

The defendant Kujau is sentenced
to a total term of imprisonment

of four years and six months

for fraud in combination
with falsification of documents.

The defendant Heidemann is sentenced

to four years and eight months
imprisonment for fraud.

I do not think
that Gerd Heidemann and Konrad Kujau

are the only perpetrators.

I believe that our whole system
should stand trial.

The story
of the forged Hitler diaries...

is a story of seduction...

of mutual seduction.

Those susceptible to being seduced
are those who have no backbone,

who lack knowledge,
who lack self-esteem.

Everyone can be seduced,
and only those who recognize this

can defend themselves against it.

Konny...

What's the matter?
