Is everything okay

Are there things that you are ashamed of?

Günther Gaucke.

One of the pullers in party funding.

Leave my father alone.

Don't stand in my way!

The orders break down, the D-Mark makes everything more expensive.

Martin, we can't give you a loan anytime soon .

The West Advisor can easily get a loan from the bank.

I don't trust it.

Did you know Mischa Liebermann?

He was a colleague of your father.

Why doesn't mother want to talk about him?

When we got married, she was pregnant.

He is your father

Germany! Germany! Germany!

Look, the fucking fascists.

-Go away! -Germany!

Fucking Nazi!

You wanker!

Get away, you bastard! Fuck off!

Come on! After! Grab them.

I? Kupfer?

Go Go go! Grab the wankers!

Stay here.

Fucking ticks!

-Victory! -Victory!

Victory! Victory! Victory! Victory! Victory! Victory! Victory! Victory!

Svenja!

Svenja!

Svenja!

Hey Sweet Svenja.

Svenja, what's going on? Svenja.

Svenja.

We have to leave!

We have to leave now, the cops are coming.

-She is dead. -They will take care of her ...

She is dead! Do not you understand that?

Do not you understand that? We have to go now!

Your son was very lucky.

A truck missed him on the road.

-He almost got him head-on. -How is he?

As far as we can tell, he's just got a few bruises.

We'll keep him here overnight for observation.

-Who would have thought that. -Do not talk.

-Roman ... -Can I go in ...

-May I come in? -Sure, of course.

What happened then?

What happened then?

-Thank you for calling me. -I know what he means to you.

Who is the man by his bed?

He said he is his father. How so?

Don't you know him

-No. How should I know that? -No matter.

-Morning. -How are you?

Well, yes, all right.

-And even? -Everything OK. Thank you.

-Only the end will be different. -How so?

I want to do a few things differently.

I do not get it. I can take it away from you too.

Please!

Please, we don't want to cause a stir about the money here .

So what do you want? Say what you want!

I've thought about it. About my future.

What if, to make matters worse, I lose my house?

Yes, that's nonsense.

Falk bought the house from the ministry.

But did it also belong to the Ministry?

So many former owners roam the GDR.

You are not serious now, you.

The money belongs to the party!

Don't be so hypocritical.

Do you think I don't know how you can afford such a big car?

I want a share of the money.

Enough to make ends meet with it .

I think this is fair especially

since this money doesn't officially exist at all.

If you...

... testify against your husband,

I could fix that for you with the money .

And if I try again to make him see reason ...

-How are you going to do that? -So...

I do not know that yet.

I give you a week.

Your son had an accident. Falk.

Has been hit by the car. But was very lucky.

I'm driving you to the hospital. Yes?

How can that be? It's a signed contract.

The loan has also been paid off.

But on the holding account that Mr. Breger set up for this.

-Stand in the fine print. -How do we get the money?

Mr. Breger has already withdrawn the money . He has a power of attorney.

-I thought you knew. -No. It's long gone.

Over all the mountains, I've already told you . With our money.

Can we go back on that?

No. Unfortunately that is not possible.

How could you let that happen?

Yes, all of this is new territory for us.

But he's your business partner. And you are responsible for the loan.

Yes, of course, the holding company we founded that ...

The holding company has deposited the assets of your company as security.

It belongs to the bank if the installments are not paid.

As the managing director, you are responsible for this, together with Mr Hüne,

Mrs. Breil and Mr. Breger.

Mr. Copper?

Mr. Copper?

Would you like a glass of water?

That bastard!

I'll polish his shitty west face!

Now calm down, it won't do anything.

Should I calm down? He screwed us completely!

And we fell for it, we idiots .

-How long can we hold out? -Hard to say.

It doesn't get any easier with the installments on the loan .

If no miracle happens, 14 days will not be enough.

-What do I tell the architect? -You still believe in the prefabricated house idea?

Sure, the idea is good.

There's a market for it and we make the parts.

Didn't you say we won't last two weeks?

Let's close it right away.

-The fact that we work is abnormal anyway. -We can not.

How so? Hey Martin.

We did everything for the people. More is simply not there.

When the going gets tough with a bankruptcy,

then we as managing directors are personally liable for the loan.

Was?

We have the debts, and Breger makes a good life for himself with our money?

That's impossible!

It's no consolation, but ... We're not the only ones.

There are quite a few who have been withdrawn like this.

What about the bank? They can't let us down.

They should have told us that.

Mach was.

-Greeting. -Self greeting.

Is what?

If you pull shit off, I'll cut you a head.

Thanks for your compassion.

You little asshole. I don't know what went wrong with you.

You can be here because Vera wants you to be.

But if someone like you gets pissed off, there is a reason.

And if I have compassion, then for the others.

I hope they gave you a good beating.

What now?

They killed my girlfriend.

I'm sorry.

Frau Kupfer is on her way, number five.

Tell her I need to speak to her.

Martin Kupfer, VEB Möbelbau Rosa Luxemburg.

-Number five? -It's really very important.

-Kupfer? -I.

I tell her.

-Number six, please. -We'll be here tomorrow.

I don't want to have to justify myself .

Why are you hiring East Germans if you don't trust us?

I think it's important that not only people from the West work here.

But you know that there are reasons to be careful.

There are old cadres who try to make their cut here .

Not everyone was with the Stasi. You are not like that with the West Germans.

Every milk face that comes from a West German university

is allowed to handle large cases immediately.

We East Germans can make them coffee. This is our country.

Falk, how are you?

What happened then?

My god boy

-I have to go. -I'm driving you.

Not necessary. My driver is waiting outside.

-We need to talk, Hans. -No, we said everything.

I'm driving you home

Olé. Much big woman.

I have ... a special present.

Only for you.

Wasn't that hot today.

You are crazy. That is...

Mallorca!

-You are crazy. -That was a great bargain.

Last Minute.

-We have to celebrate our 15th car. -But what do I have to do with it?

Without you, I would never have managed it.

What a crap. You embarrass me completely.

- prefabricated houses? -Yes.

There is a great need in the West, and at some point here too.

We have a lot of experience in processing chipboard.

We work with the architectural office Kleiber,

all the designs come from here.

It's a huge investment, you're already in debt.

Yes that's true. But we have a real chance.

You can buy furniture on every corner. But nobody has cheap houses yet.

They are tailored to the people here.

Vera.

-Please.. -Listen, Martin.

That's just an idea for now.

It's not just an idea, it's a really good plan.

No idea. I can't decide that alone.

That's why I want a second opinion, because we know each other so well.

Not that anyone else says anything about that.

We're running out of time.

I'll do it as fast as I can. Promised.

Don't you want to take a day off?

Work is what I need now.

Very good. You are a real warrior, I always said that.

- Are you making any progress in the banking business? -Yes.

I wanted to meet my contact again today .

I'm going out to eat with the Secretary of State for the Finance Minister.

I need new information by then .

You can rely on me.

Thank you.

I think the book got that. I told him about you.

And that many from the GDR have something up their sleeve.

You are a real bomb.

Oh god ... breathe, breathe.

Noon.

Mrs. Keil, no calls, it's noon.

We have to meet.

I'm sorry, I forgot the appointment. Can we move

17:00 o'clock. As always. And do you bring results, yes?

For sure. I take care of it. Listen again.

who was that?

A director of the brewery wants to introduce me to a new concept.

Tell me, can you go back on it? Something is sitting across ...

No. The book also wants me to be with the hotel business.

-See you tonight? -No.

I have to take care of my son.

Mrs. Copper? Everything OK?

-Yes. -I was just about to see you.

Maybe your colleague could come along to the Interhotels.

Mr Krohnak, he has no time this afternoon . Out-of-home appointments.

-Then we'll step into the ring alone. -I can do it.

-Really okay with you? -Mhm.

It's going to be a tough round.

There are employees who have illegally entered into a deal.

Probably against bribery.

Sometimes I don't know which is worse:

the old clans, corruption or incompetence.

It looks like the West German banks are close to their goal.

But there is resistance within the credit institution.

There one wants to avoid a monopoly.

The leverage could be lending.

Interest without risk for the West Banks.

It interfere in the Kreditanstalt many.

Because it should also affect the old liabilities from the GDR.

These are supposed to become normal loans with full interest.

-That would be overwhelming for many companies. -What?

Did you see that?

This is my grandpa's super flier. Hey Dad.

Well, little one? Day, Susann.

-Hello Martin. Bye, Elena. -Bye.

-What do we do now? -We are driving home.

Boring. I like to have an adventure.

-I have no need for adventure. -Stress?

It's completely normal. All have parents of my friends.

I think it's an adult thing.

Do you fancy an ice cream? Or is that not enough adventure?

Ice cream always works.

-What do you want for your birthday? - Riding hours.

- Riding lessons? -Yes. Charlott gets that too.

And besides, I like a family celebration. With all. With grandpa and grandma.

-Who are all of them? - Well, everyone.

Grandmas, grandpa, aunts, uncles.

Maybe I do n't yet know someone who belongs to it.

That will not be easy. A few of them avoid each other.

Such a cheese. But you promised that I would get to know the whole family.

And what is? You did n't even show me the other grandma.

Hello Grandpa.

-Hello my angel. Hello Martin. -Day.

They don't avoid each other at all.

-We want to see Dunja. -Yes, it's not there.

-And what are you doing here? -Can we come in?

Yes of course. Do you want some tea?

-Do you have cocoa too? -I have to take a look.

Papa, a piano. Rainer and Maria have that too.

Dunja, your other grandma, is playing on it. And sings like a nightingale.

-Can we wait for you? -I’ll have a look at the cocoa.

Please remain in your seats with your seat belts closed

and leave the luggage in the shelves above you

until the captain turned off the seatbelt signs above you.

Here your mother is just as old as you are today.

- She looks like me. -Yes.

-Do you play the piano too? -I? No.

But you are welcome to play something.

I need to talk to your father for a minute.

-When will Grandma come back? -I do not know. Didn't say anything.

She's like dad.

Martin, how long don't you want to talk to me?

I can't undo anything

But believe me, I've paid for it all my life

-I'm going to jail too. -I don't want that, Hans.

But it pisses me off that the lies and banter are not over yet.

What really happened then? Why did the man have to die?

Do you want to hear your grandma sing?

In the café high above the city

Near the tower with the golden dial

Petra?

Everything OK?

You had an accident.

Yeah, I wasn't paying attention.

I was in the hospital. I wanted to see how you are.

Your father was with you.

I know him from television.

Hans Kupfer.

That means you are not Falk Schmidt.

You are Falk Kupfer.

I read the interview you gave the newspaper.

That's great. New beginning and so.

You interrogated a friend of mine at the time .

She told me how you ...

... how you ... broke her.

With joy.

Today she still needs pills just to take to the streets.

Who are you?

I fell in love with the man in the wheelchair.

Who was in pain like me.

So vulnerable and so gentle.

I didn't think I could fall in love again.

But this man somehow made it into my heart.

But you...

I can't love you

-Petra ... -Don't touch me.

I need you, Petra.

Yes you need me But I won't be there.

Petra...

Petra!

So Liebermann is the ... father of Falk.

Yes.

-Does Falk know that? -Yes.

-How is he? -How should he be?

Awful.

Sometimes the lie is more human than the truth.

-That's no joke. -Yes.

Anna wants a family celebration. With all.

-You still call her Anna? -Yes.

Just for me.

No idea. That feels kind of good.

This is awesome.

For the connecting door.

From the two rooms. You can always lock.

-I said he wasn't there. -Where else should he be?

Rome what's wrong with you Are you shitting

-She was your flame! -Go away...

What? You wanna old buckle tell me what phase is?

Rome, are you crawling under your mother's skirt?

- Get away, you fascists! -Don't touch me, you cunt.

-Leave her alone! -Well it works.

Froschi saw the wankers in Marzahn.

He's not going anywhere. Roger that?

- Tell me, are you crazy? -She started.

Besides, it's just a scratch!

Come on now. You owe that to Svenja.

You loved her, man.

Or do you want the pigs to get away with it?

Falk?

Do you want to explain to me now why you had to lie to me?

Vera called. Roman is in great danger.

- She was broken up! -He can do without a father.

Will he survive? After all, he has a mother.

I can understand that you are not doing well .

Also that you hate Hans and me!

But your son! He didn't deserve it!

Do it better than us.

You're calling Vera now.

Good morning.

Disculpe. Towel.

A towel is just the beginning. Where's the boss here? El Jefe?

Peter. Let it be. He can't help it.

Oh here. Man, your dress. Everything is wet.

I am the manager. There is a problem?

-No, it's okay. -You speak German.

My companion took an involuntary alcohol shower.

I'm sorry.

We pay for the cleaning. The drinks are on the house.

Thank you that is nice.

Are you all right? All is well?

Yes everything alright. I'm just scared.

What do you want to drink?

Um. Tequila Sunrise.

And pina colada.

-Twice. -Sure, come right away.

-Come along! -They pay for the drinks, everything's fine.

Peter. Just be quiet and come with me, please.

-Isn't that bad, is it? -Peter.

The guy is from East Berlin from the Stasi. Come on, let's go.

What did I say? The guy killed my brother.

Certainly.

But that Major Rothals committed suicide.

Maybe they just look alike.

I don't forget the face. Did you see his body

I? Of course not.

The operation was completely in the hands of the Ministry of State Security.

I knew it. That was a big mess with the suicide.

And now?

-Do not know. I do not know. -Wohnen?

You have to go now too.

-Trotzdem. Thanks. -You're welcome.

He doesn't know where he lives. Or he's lying.

If Redhals is really submerged in Spain

then we'll never find it.

Peter. He's got my brother on his conscience.

I want him to go to jail.

Take it slow.

Stop, stop, hold on.

-If they demolish the car? -You are insured.

Roman!

-What do you want here? Fuck off! -And what if not?

-I hit cripples too. -Women too, I know.

-Roman, come on. -Dad, leave me alone.

No, I will not.

You heard him.

Flatten him. He doesn't shoot.

Do you know that my life pisses me off?

You would do me a favor.

But one or two of you go on it.

You may find your life sucks too.

Stop it! Are you crazy?

I don't give a shit what the rest of you do, yes? Take revenge.

But my boy, you let him out of there!

So, you help me into the chair now and we'll get out of here.

Rome! Take your old man's gun away.

-Dad, why are you doing this? -What are you talking about?

Because you are important to me, Roman.

For that I would shoot you in the leg so you don't do anything stupid.

On?

What happened to you?

Who was that?

And?

All right, Vera. He is with me.

Thank you, Falk.

-Please go. -Why?

I want to be alone.

Stay, stay, just a little longer

Because you are so beautiful

What are you doing here?

May I come inside?

And.

I can understand that you keep coming back here.

Oh, what the heck, let's get it over with.

It won't come and you won't find it.

-Where do you want to get that from? -We found her.

She was confused about Falk.

It was she who shot him.

Did you know that? She wanted to kill your son.

What did you do with her?

We have her ...

... showed your possibilities.

She can go back to you

testify for you on the matter with Liebermann.

But then she's going to be charged with attempted murder of your son.

We have the gun. With their fingerprints.

Or it just disappears.

Start a new life.

With our support.

Paris...

She always wanted to go there.

I don't believe you a word.

-I want to talk to her. -I know this is tough.

But the househusband is not someone who sacrifices himself for others.

You should know that by now.

She's an artist.

She even made a written statement.

Against you. In the Liebermann affair.

Hans ... Now come to your senses.

You don't belong here.

Not on the front pages of any newspaper.

You have family.

You have friends ... if you want.

I screwed up.

I thought I could save the business.

I'm so fucked up now , man. I `m so stupid.

It's not your fault. The guy pulled you all off.

That doesn't make it any better either.

Do you already know what you are doing?

No, I have no idea, I can't think clearly.

My father told me today ...

-Hi. -Hi.

I just wanted to get a few things.

Wood, you old bock beer larvae.

Do you have one for me too?

-Where are you going? - Well, to the anti-capitalist inland.

Mainzer Strasse. The squats over there, you know? We're opening a café.

Here, aren't you a bigwig with a company and all that?

Lisa said.

And?

Can you give us a little credit like that?

We do n’t like cash in our private life , you know?

Bad for the karma. But we look what's in the fridge.

-Ey you're cool, do you know that? -Yes I know.

Who is this?

"That there", that is Ole.

This is a nice guy who is guaranteed not to hurt me.

But he has other problems.

By the way, I've found an apprenticeship as a cook.

So don't worry about me.

I love you.

I also you.

That was cool, papa.

Do you find?

But that doesn't mean that I take off my jacket and boots.

You need to know

Disgusting.

-Fuck you. -I beg your pardon?

My son just wanted to say that ...

... you, uh, should try, uh ...

... to stretch your dick,

to then insert it into the anus.

-Well, this is ... -Or you go home with your wife.

Is less painful.

-Edgar. They are dangerous. Come on - Exactly!

We are barbarians. From the east.

It came to Marzahn last night

to an argument

between a right-wing radical group from East Berlin

and West Berlin Autonomists.

Three youths were killed.

Five other people are injured, some seriously.

Only the riot police were able to separate them and arrest their members.

I can understand your displeasure.

But we are of the opinion

that the negotiated contracts

only have advantages for West German investors

and only disadvantages for you.

None of your jobs are secured by these contracts.

And that's why we decided to terminate these contracts.

Why did you endorse it in the first place?

-That's being investigated. -You're kidding us all.

These are unequal contracts to the detriment of you

and to the detriment of the Treuhandanstalt.

And thus also to the detriment of public property.

-People property? -Yes, they have that!

-They could be bought. -Who?

The West German managers who negotiated this for the Treuhand.

You don't have to laugh at that!

So here I am.

Thanks for coming. How's martin

How is he supposed to be? He's doing shit.

-What'll it be? -I would like to have a coffee.

I'm sorry.

If we talk now, that stays between us, right?

The point is that I write about it.

I mean that it was me.

Of course, we can do that. What are you afraid of?

I don't want to lose my job. I think we're doing something important.

But everything goes wrong somehow.

Everyone is hitting the trust without knowing what we're fighting with.

I don't think anyone cares either . Thank you.

The fact is, people are losing their jobs.

Yes, but the book is a really good man who really wants something.

-He has camouflaged that well so far. -What should he do?

The tasks require that we have really good people available.

But incapacitated people report every day who cannot even get credit in the West.

But they are stopped because there are no others.

Or the Stasi clans who get rich.

Interesting, can you tell me something about that?

What's wrong?

I think you're actually one of the good guys. Is that correct?

What kind of question is that?

What does my ex-husband have in hand against you?

-Your ex-husband? -I recognize Falk's voice in my sleep.

He called you and set up a meeting.

-What do you want? -I want to do a good job!

-But it has to run smoothly! -Is that why you shit at me?

Grab the secretary from Schalk.

- She pushes companies to the cadres. -Can you prove it?

No. I don't want anything to do with it.

You want to sell information to the West Germans

who Falk works with, I hope it's worth it!

He was my boss. In the ministry.

He's got me in his hand.

I want you to tell a West German journalist what you know.

-Are you crazy? - She'll keep this confidential.

Bernd, if you refuse

I'll make sure that she writes about you.

Roman!

Thank god ... boy, I was so worried.

-Yes, please? - where have you been?

You have to come. The banking deal is slipping out of our hands.

Yeah, yeah, me, um ...

Unfortunately I can't.

I have to take care of my son.

With all due respect. We need you here.

- You have to come right away. -I'm sorry.

That ... They were my friends, papa.

Maybe I would have ...

Will you do me a favor?

Will you take me out on the water? I can't do it alone.

Well, Martin, how's it going?

The trust comes today. We can convince them.

Thank God.

-Do you happen to know where Rita is? -In the office. Tried to reach Hüne.

-That's not there? -No idea.

Hüne isn't there? We wanted to sit down again.

Doris says he went to work. But she sounded weird on the phone.

-What does funny mean? -Well, totally crying.

But didn't want to say what's going on.

-Do you think he did something to himself? -Nonsense. Not a huge one.

Before he does anything to himself, he'll flatten the other.

Hello Doris. Where is he?

I do not know.

Please tell me where he is

If he messes up, you're all alone with the kids.

-Maybe he's still in the garage. -Thank you.

-What are you doing here? -And you?

-Why aren't you in the company? -You'll be allowed to go blue.

It's all fucked up anyway.

-What's so important? -Nothing.

I won't let all the financial fuzzis fool me .

I have family, do you understand?

Children.

And what do they do when you're in jail?

Child's play. The savings bank is zero secured.

I get back what is due to us.

You can help me or ...

We may get a loan from the trust.

A loan to repay one that we never got!

Martin, wake up! We're being ripped off like we used to be!

Only that we fight back today.

Don't try to stop me

I do not do that.

Count me in.

If that is to work, you need a driver.
