Original subtitles

Mr. Schmidt, that is still too early.

You never give up, do you?

Your knowledge of the location and the people are worth their weight in gold.

Why are West German insurance companies interested in you?

The new time. Mother understood that.

I belong to a group that cares about the party's assets.

We pushed through the trust company at the round table ,

into which the entire assets of the GDR flowed.

-The fight is over. -He's just getting started.

Dad, I just wanted to tell you that I'm sorry.

Lisa, are you all right?

-Come to Daddy. -What is it?

Martin, calm down.

-Who knows if something happened. -We don't know anything.

Not even what hotel she is in.

I shouldn't have let her go.

Stop getting ready.

We'll call your agency tomorrow.

I allowed her everything. If something happens, I never forgive myself.

Fuck it all. You wanted to teach again.

I was thinking the same thing. But it's not that easy.

Yes it is.

People want the Deutschmark and their peace of mind.

Skin the red on the paws, Helmut Kohl, that feels good.

With the Mark and the CDU there is no peace.

It's gonna be a disaster. Not just economically.

They hold back the Stasi files or destroy them.

And we never know what happened to Robert.

The truth is not in a Stasi file. That's history.

Because of history. What do we tell Roman or Thomas?

That we made ourselves comfortable?

Thomas is already doing it himself comfortably in Hamburg.

It doesn't matter here.

Didn't you ever wonder why he's not coming back?

or so many pack their bags?

-Although something could be changed now. -What do you want to change?

-Why did we fight back? -Because it was crap the way it was.

-And is it good now? -No.

But ... you also want a normal life.

That's not enough for me.

What do you want to do? Demonstrate again?

-No. That doesn't help. -What then?

Throw a bomb?

You would like that.

No. I go where you really make decisions.

-What are you doing here? -You had a bad dream.

And.

-And that's why you're here? -Yes.

Have you had this for a long time? These nightmares?

No. Not long.

Did something happen?

Something happens all the time.

Why are you even up?

I can not sleep.

How so?

I have in my life ...

Done things I shouldn't have done

It's all coming up now.

That was right what we did, father.

-We could have won. -It...

It's not just about winning, Falk.

Neither then nor now.

What else?

If you don't win, you are a loser.

Who wants to be?

I am ...

... very sorry, Falk.

What happened to you

The...

... I've always wanted to say.

-Do we want to fish? -What?

-Fishing? Shall we go fishing now? -Fishing?

You hate fishing.

Sitting in a wheelchair and unable to sleep, too.

-Now yes? -We want?

-Yes, ready. -Yes?

-And. -And?

-Here, champion. -No thanks.

I ... uh ... Nah.

Tell me, do you have your ass open?

If you want to belong, you drink with us.

Or are you something better?

I knew it. You are one of us.

On?

-Did you fight again? -Mhm.

-About the party funds? -Yes.

Or your search for ...

What are you actually looking for?

I do not know.

For answers maybe.

What questions?

You know what I hate most about fishing is that smell

which does not come off the fingers.

But that's the way it is when you want to catch fish.

And do you find soap in your books?

Well, Marlene does n't mind the smell at all.

Just me.

-She needs you. -Oh.

No. Marlene doesn't need anyone.

Marlene needs a task, a goal.

And you? What is your goal?

Wait. Come on, yes, yes.

-Hold him, hold him. -Yes.

Come on hold up, keep him tensioned.

-Continue over. -This is a huge thing.

Los, bring ran. Bring ran. Bring ran.

Bring ran, bring ran.

-Check it out. -Falk. Man you

-How did I do this? -Great.

-I wanted to call Lisa at the hotel. -38.5.

- Supposedly she isn't there. -You stay in bed.

Nonsense! As her agent , you need to know where your girls are.

Then give steam to the Italian agency,

otherwise I'll make hell for you.

You have a duty of supervision even if you are of legal age !

Hi?

Hi?

What a crap! One hand doesn't know what the other is doing.

-Crap. And now? -I'll call you again in five minutes.

She has fever. She has to stay at home.

Don't you want to remove the management team today ?

Yeah, I can do it.

-I'll take her with me if necessary. -Martin ...

-Ask me? -You care too much already.

Yes i care a lot

I know a lot, I'm in a good mood and I see ...

much good.

What is your problem?

-You do not have to do this. -I know. But what if I want to?

And don't always say: "I can do it."

We will sort it out.

Thank you, my angel, that would be everything.

See you later.

Shit is rolling towards us, copper.

We have to get out of the line of fire.

A bunch of people want to fix us up about what we did.

That’s over with the election.

Neither our new government nor that of the FRG wants to get involved.

Our government? Washcloth.

If there is enough pressure from below, they'll fall over.

Especially when our people are in favor of file opening and law enforcement.

Is your father still pretty tight?

He hardly ever goes public with his opinion .

I do not think so. Your father always thought he was better.

If someone shits us in his position in front of the suitcase,

it's hard to get rid of the stench .

You can't watch our fingers.

That endangers the whole action with the party money.

What are you going to do?

We...

... have to get ahead of your father.

We have to take the wind out of his sails.

And we need a scapegoat for the press and civil rights activists

until everything is dry here.

How are you going to do that?

How well do you know your father anyway?

-Bonzen out! -Bonzen out!

-Bonzen out! -Bonzen out!

Bonzen out!

That’s a little much for you now , Copper.

I know that.

Your father is not the do-gooder he claims to be.

How do I know this is true?

Talk to him

bring him to his senses.

If he stays stubborn, it will all boil up.

Then you have to choose one side, copper.

See I'll be here ...

...to build up something.

I wo n't let anyone break that.

You can be there, Kupfer.

Or you are trying to protect your father.

But then your head rolls too, no matter how heated the mood is.

And then I ca n't protect you anymore.

Which would be a shame because I still need you.

I have guarantees. Protection. From the Americans.

-For my father and for me. -Do you see an American anywhere?

The Americans have long had what they wanted.

You and your father are as uninteresting to them as duck shit.

Besides, this is not about pill pill. This is about murder.

Murder on the territory of the FRG.

And the American will stay out of that.

Come by for dinner tonight , copper.

There is duck.

-Father, I need to talk to you. -I'm in a hurry.

No. We're talking now.

All the years you judged me, despised me.

At some point I believed that I was a bad person.

It's so false, father, really.

I do not have to justify myself. What I did is my business.

You have no right to make moral judgments.

At least I'm not a murderer. Why did you kill the man?

I was supposed to bring a fugitive from the ministry back to the GDR.

The situation got out of hand and ...

-There was an exchange of fire. - It's different in the file.

How was it? Nothing is kept secret. Your motto.

Whatever is in there is wrong.

It was in West Berlin. Eliminating a breakaway employee.

Arranged and executed by you.

In the FRG, murder does not expire.

-You will be charged if this gets out. -There was no murder assignment!

Falk. Gaucke manipulated the file.

This is as pathetic as you want to get out of it.

I made a huge mistake back then .

I would pay for it if I could.

How false is that? You're pulling us all into it.

If you go public with opening files ,

it all comes to light.

Do you think the press stops at the family, at the children? Before me?

-We can't always be scared! -No.

I didn't have any before. Only since everything went down the drain.

Gaucke doesn't forbid me to shut up.

Do you ever think of mother?

-What will happen to her then? -She got along with completely different things.

Are you serious!

Do you sacrifice your family for a little truth ?

That little truth?

What we did How we deal with it?

We can't cover that up.

It's bad enough that the political leadership doesn't want to know about it.

-This is our big chance! -That's a catastrophe!

If you don't rest, I can't help you.

So is the file real?

Am i a killer?

I'm not going down with you

If I'm a cripple in capitalism, then a rich one.

It is crucial that we bring the party assets to almost zero,

without our being able to be prosecuted for it.

Comrade Gaucke had a very good suggestion for this.

This is a debt record

which the party allegedly has with the Soviet Union

and which must now be repaid.

Our money goes to accounts in Moscow

and from there it is transferred to Switzerland via various channels.

Part of the money is to be invested directly in suitable properties.

And we want to bring the rest back as a cash reserve.

Yes and...

That would be your job then, comrade.

You can count on me.

We should not make hasty decisions.

We don't allow it any longer

that you and the management hit the wall

and enrich yourself in the back.

These are bad allegations.

Make a choice.

Since when does a workforce choose their management?

What's next? Basic democratic management?

What is the position of the district council?

-Are you still responsible for us? -No new government is in office yet.

The process is unusual overall, but ...

By the way, we've been running the business here for months.

-Without us the business would be closed long ago. -Oh yes?

I'm curious how you want to portray it.

We have clear evidence

for the economic incompetence of the management staff in the company.

The stable order situation is clearly understandable

Result of the workforce,

which consistently ignores the instructions of the management level .

The Swedes specifically only want to work with us in the future ,

no longer with the old cadres.

I am glad that you came. The right decision.

This is unique in history.

-I have the job? -Naturally. We need people like you.

-Like me? -Oh well ...

You are open-minded, smart, know the country and ...

-When can you start? - Go ahead and keep talking.

That's a thing.

-Martin's not here. -I want to see you.

I see?

Yes, come in then. Elena is there. She's sick.

-Elena? -Anna. She wants to be called Elena.

Ah yes.

-If I'm inconvenient ... -No, no.

As long as you don't bug my place .

Just kidding, just come in.

My sons and my wife don't know that I am here

and want to talk to you.

You were right. He wo n't let himself be dissuaded, no.

Yes, I am aware of that.

And is it really certain that he will ...

No of course not.

You can count on me, Comrade General.

Sorry yeah Is still a little strange, Mr. Gaucke. Thank you.

-You can't print all of that. -No, I'll make a selection.

I'll put that before you and you decide if that's okay.

Then we think about when to bring it.

Where were we?

Yes, that it is very important for the future

that the injustice is named.

There can be no new beginning

if the past is not cleaned up

but is swept under the carpet .

We have to make the files of the MfS available to the public.

Perpetrators and victims must be able to confront it.

If we don't do that , we’ll be crazy.

German history shows that.

At the risk of incriminating yourself?

And.

Your second major concern is party finances. How so?

-There should be a commission soon. -Yes that's right.

While we're talking here, funds are disappearing

straw companies are founded, facts are created.

The SED has enriched itself over decades.

But the money doesn't belong to the PDS ...

But the population.

I have to address that. Maybe it's because of Lisa.

Hi? Yes, it was about time.

I know that, but I didn't reach her then.

You're my grandpa, aren't you?

And.

Do we want to play something together then?

After when I'm done here.

Please tell her to call home as soon as possible.

Yes thank you.

-Excuse me. -What about Lisa?

So that's it now. That's enough.

I said enough.

You will hurt yourself.

Do you want to talk

And now?

Why do they do that?

I don't feel anything anyway.

I do not think so.

Excuse me. I'm sorry.

It doesn't have to.

-That looks good. -Oh well ...

Do we want to write something down on the plane?

Yes. What for example?

That ... the one who finds the plane

need not be afraid because the plane is protecting him.

Are you scared

Yes. Sometimes.

But I don't even know what.

Yes. I know that too.

And what are you doing then?

I always try to look very carefully

what i'm afraid of.

Then it gets smaller.

I do not find.

When you see a monster

you are much more afraid than when you don't see it.

But it's still there.

No matter. I close my eyes when I'm scared.

Suite 9002, please.

-Yes, please? -Is that suite number 9002?

And.

I have to speak to Lisa Kupfer.

The concierge told me she was still in the room.

Oh, she's asleep right now.

As soon as she wakes up, I'll tell her you called.

No, I have to talk to her now. Please give her the phone.

Oh no she needs her sleep

-She worked all night. -Please do not hang up. Say ...

Hi?

Fuck...

Fuck.

Come on, come on Please answer it.

Crap.

Yes, here again meadow.

You have to look for Ms. Kupfer, suite number 9002.

What? No, no, who told you that? No, that's not okay.

You go straight to her room and check on her.

No, I am not her mother, I am ...

I'm a friend, but ... Hello?

Fuck!

Fuck! Fuck!

Fuck.

Madness.

-To us. -On the farm.

And the future.

Martin, a call for you.

Press the white button and choose the two.

Thank you.

And?

When?

Well, I'm coming home now.

No, we'll get them out of there quickly.

How long do we need to get there?

Thank you. Okay see you soon.

I'm sorry, I have to go away for two days.

It's because of my big daughter.

- She's in trouble. -This is bad.

-We need you. -Nonsense.

We'll manage. Familiy comes first.

Do you sing him a bedtime song too?

My God, did you scare , uh, scared me .

I don't know how you stand with God, but we have already been through you.

My God. Excuse me. Such a dumb thing.

Better than a wet pronunciation.

That's exactly my sense of humor.

You are funny. You are funny.

How do you get in here Is everything open?

I bribed a colleague with a sandwich. Here.

For me? Oh, that's great.

Mmh.

So delicious.

How did I deserve this?

So with your car dealership

was that serious or just pick-up?

Why should I turn you on?

-Yes or no? -Um ...

If that wasn't a saying, where do you get your cars from?

Watch out.

I have a very dashing car.

I'll take it to the west and sell it.

I'll buy two other

which I then sell here.

-A beginner. I knew it. - So tell me.

I'm getting in there really big.

This is my time, you'll see.

The people here now have more D-Marks than you think.

Tell me, will you take me to the west with you ?

I sell my sandwiches, you do your business.

For that I'll drive you back in the other car.

So, that had to stop.

By which?

Nobody wants to hear that. Hopp or top?

So then ... hops.

What does that mean now?

Well ... caught.

We are in business.

Oh, I don't believe it, ey. That's a genius or something, ey.

Nice nice nice.

What are you doing?

Shit, close to the record.

You distracted him.

-Nonsense. That was ... - It's our turn.

-Look at the Kanacken. -Go away.

What do you want from me?

Fucking joke!

Fuck off where you come from.

Mrs. Hausmann?

Please open the door.

We are friends of Hans Kupfer and we are worried.

You have n't been at work for the past few days.

She probably packed something up quickly and ran away.

The only question is why?

Frau Hausmann, I don't want to take revenge.

Otherwise I would have done it long ago.

You certainly don't want to harm me any further.

We both know a lot about each other.

Classic balance of horror.

One two Three.

Do you think this is a good idea?

Who else can look after a sick child for three days ? Gorlitz?

Your father likes to do that. Your mother will be happy too.

It's actually going too fast for me.

I don't know how my mother reacts.

How nice? Like any normal grandma.

But she's not a normal grandma.

The househusband ...

... shot at copper.

He covers her so she doesn't gossip

what she knows about him.

And why did she run away?

Maybe she panicked.

She's always been crazy.

And now?

Now?

-Thank you for calling. -Schmidt.

How original.

I'm not going to blow you up because of Roman.

-Day. I am Roman's mother. -Good day.

-How is he? -We feared kidney failure.

-He's stable again. Come. -What happened?

He came with some other wounded. There must have been a fight.

Roman.

What are you doing here?

-How are you? -Not worth talking about.

-You should see the others. -Are you crazy?

-You can die with a kidney. -I'm not.

Hey warriors. How are you?

All good.

These are my parents. Svenja.

-Hi. -Your son is a hero.

Knocked me out when a garlic eater came too close.

-Who? -A Turk.

They invade here like grasshoppers.

-Your son can do it. -Indeed?

Yes, as head-wise as Einstein.

Nice.

-It was worth it after all. -You studied?

-Yes. -Really now?

-So, young woman ... -We'll be back tomorrow.

Hey, Roman.

-All good? -Ey ...

Did you know Roman hangs out with people like that?

-What do you mean by that? -These are Nazis.

Calm down. I don't know them, why are Nazis right now?

-They may be a little wild. -A little wild?

I know a Nazi when I see him.

Naturally. Spare me your paranoia.

Leave Roman alone!

He's not a Nazi. Or did I get that wrong too?

I'm worried about the influence he's coming under.

-I know my way around that. -And what now?

Rebuild one of your prisons?

Vera, please.

I have this...

you don't want this freedom here, yes?

But now we have to deal with it. Or not?

I mean, you ca n't care less about everything.

Vera, this is about Roman.

Freedom.

I fought so for ...

... human rights and democracy and ...

...Roman.

Did you see how happy he is?

And.

Like in old times. When he won a competition.

He was always alone on the podium.

With us, always alone.

Why did you bring your girlfriend with you?

-That's not my girlfriend. -Let it be, Falk.

You surely know what's best for Roman.

Vera. Vera, now ...

-What shoud that? Are you chasing me? -No. Maybe you can help me.

-Bad timing. -I'm looking for Dunja Hausmann.

Yes and?

You were the last to speak on her answering machine.

Did you know that?

-Good evening. -Good evening.

Good evening, grandma.

I'm glad.

That's great. Finally someone to play with.

Come with me , I'll show you my room.

-Bye dad. -Bye, Cutie.

-Goodbye, Katja. Until the day after tomorrow. -Bye honey.

-Do you want to come in briefly? -No thanks. We...

Nice that you asked us.

OK, see you later.

-Good luck in Milan. -Thank you.

Dunja Hausmann is gone, you are leaving her cryptic messages.

What does that look like?

-Coincidence? -Why did you call her?

I spoke on the answering machine.

-I wanted to talk to her. -About what?

Is that any of your business?

Was it about your father?

No How so?

She was there when her father shot Mischa Liebermann.

Your disappearance doesn't help

for the pressure we want to put on your father.

Understand.

So if you have any idea

where Ms. Hausmann could be, that would be very helpful.

For all of us.

How do you know she was there? Wasn't in the file.

We didn't show you the whole file.

So as not to burden you unnecessarily.

If I'm supposed to help you, I want to know everything.

-I am not authorized. -Stop that shit!

It's not about games, it's about my family.

Then talk to your mother.

Ask her who Mischa Liebermann was.

I can't tell you more.

I didn't even know you kept the photos.

Since Falk was shot

it all comes up, the whole past

Mischa.

His death.

-You are not to blame for Misha’s death. -But.

It should never have come to that.

It's not your fault either.

You saved Dunja Hausmann's life back then .

Your assignment just went unfortunate.

As simple as that?

We were young, we made mistakes.

-And we paid. -Not me.

I was even more guilty.

That's over, Hans.

Not for me.

Our granddaughter sleeps upstairs.

Our family is coming together again.

Don't let yourself go like this. End your argument with Günther.

That's why it just comes up.

I will not be blackmailed. With a forged file.

You should be sensible.

Fake or not. These acts can destroy us.

Please, Hans, please.

Please make your peace.

What do we actually do when we are there?

I have a plan.

You didn't think I knew that, did you ?

Is so powerful.

Just pretend you belong here.

Oh excuse me.

I'm Katja Wiese, Lisa's German agent. I have to talk to her

She's damn late for a shoot. Lisa?

Lisa?

Lisa?

Hey.

Lisa. It's me. Father.

-I knew you were coming. -Hey.

Who are you?

Get out! Immediately!

You stupid asshole!

You stupid pig!

Martin, calm down.

Martin, calm down! We have to get out now.

Come with me.

If I tell you, I can do the Rittberger.

-To prove. -You are not well yet.

What.

Oops. So, where do you come from?

Anna stays here for two days. Martin had to go to Italy because of Lisa.

Indeed?

-Why can't you run? -Not.

It's okay, mother. I had an accident.

And is that stupid in a wheelchair?

If we play catch, I can't run away from you. It is great.

-What did you do there? -The Rittberger.

-Sonja doesn't think I can do it. -That looked good.

-Shall I do it again? -First time breakfast.

Hans, will you come please?

-You're welcome? -We are from the criminal investigation department.

-We have some questions for you. -What questions?

You are being investigated on suspicion of murder of Michael Liebermann.

We must investigate this in the context of administrative assistance .

Let's go.
