TEMPORARY DETENTION CENTER |
00:00:39 |
Stand still. Eyes to the floor. |
00:00:46 |
Walk on. |
00:00:47 |
TEMPORARY DETENTION CENTER |
00:00:52 |
Address him as 'Captain!' |
00:00:56 |
Enter. |
00:01:00 |
Sit down. |
00:01:05 |
Hands under your thighs, palms down. |
00:01:13 |
What do you have to tell us? |
00:01:16 |
I've done nothing. |
00:01:20 |
I know nothing. |
00:01:21 |
You've done nothing, know nothing... |
00:01:25 |
You think we imprison people on a whim? |
00:01:29 |
No... |
00:01:31 |
If you think our humanistic system |
00:01:34 |
that alone would justify your arrest. |
00:01:39 |
We'd like to jog your memory, prisoner no. 227. |
00:01:44 |
On September 28th, Dieter Pirmasens, |
00:01:46 |
your friend and neighbor, fled to the West. |
00:01:50 |
We believe that he had help. |
00:01:53 |
I know nothing. |
00:01:55 |
He didn't even tell me he wanted to leave. |
00:01:58 |
I first heard about it at work. |
00:02:00 |
Please recount what you did on September 28th. |
00:02:05 |
- It's in my statement. |
00:02:10 |
I was at Treptow Park memorial with my children. |
00:02:13 |
Where I met my old friend Max Kirchner. |
00:02:16 |
We went to his place |
00:02:21 |
He has a telephone, |
00:02:24 |
I can give you the number. |
00:02:28 |
The enemies of our state are arrogant. |
00:02:31 |
Remember that. |
00:02:32 |
It takes patience. About 40 hours worth. |
00:02:37 |
Fast forward... |
00:02:40 |
I want to sleep. |
00:02:44 |
Please, let me sleep! |
00:02:47 |
Hands under your thighs. |
00:02:51 |
Tell me again |
00:02:57 |
Please, just one hour, |
00:03:03 |
Tell me again what you did on that day. |
00:03:12 |
Why keep him awake for so long? |
00:03:14 |
It's... inhuman. |
00:03:23 |
An innocent prisoner |
00:03:28 |
due to the injustice suffered. |
00:03:30 |
He will shout and rage. |
00:03:33 |
A guilty prisoner |
00:03:37 |
Or he cries. |
00:03:39 |
He knows he's there for a reason. |
00:03:42 |
The best way to establish guilt or innocence |
00:03:45 |
is non-stop interrogation. |
00:03:48 |
...school friend Max Kirchner. |
00:03:52 |
We went to his place... |
00:03:56 |
and listened to music until late. |
00:04:01 |
He has a telephone, |
00:04:08 |
Do you notice anything about his statement? |
00:04:12 |
It's the same as at the beginning. |
00:04:15 |
Exactly the same. Word for word. |
00:04:19 |
People who tell the truth |
00:04:22 |
and they do. |
00:04:24 |
A liar has prepared sentences, |
00:04:27 |
when under pressure. |
00:04:30 |
227 is lying. |
00:04:33 |
We have two important indicators, |
00:04:39 |
If you don't give names, |
00:04:42 |
We'll have to arrest your wife. |
00:04:46 |
Jan and Nadja |
00:04:49 |
Is that what you want? |
00:04:56 |
Who was the person who helped him flee? |
00:05:00 |
- Glaske... |
00:05:05 |
Glaske... Werner Glaske. |
00:05:09 |
Werner... Glaske. |
00:05:14 |
Quiet! |
00:05:18 |
Quiet! |
00:05:19 |
Listen! |
00:05:26 |
Does anyone know what that is? |
00:05:34 |
It's the odor sample for the dogs. |
00:05:37 |
It must be collected at every |
00:05:47 |
Your subjects are enemies of Socialism. |
00:05:51 |
Never forget that! Goodbye. |
00:06:00 |
That was good, really good. |
00:06:05 |
You remember |
00:06:07 |
how we sat there 20 years ago? |
00:06:13 |
They've offered me a professorship. |
00:06:18 |
Life's not about good grades, though |
00:06:24 |
So what's up? |
00:06:25 |
Why do you always think I'm scheming? |
00:06:28 |
- I wanted to invite you to the theater. |
00:06:32 |
I heard that Minister Hempf is going. |
00:06:36 |
As head of the Culture Department, |
00:06:40 |
It starts at 7 p.m. We should get going. |
00:06:44 |
THE LIVES OF OTHERS |
00:06:56 |
Minister Hempf at one o'clock. |
00:07:00 |
He used to be in State Security, you know. |
00:07:05 |
He really cleaned up the theater scene. |
00:07:15 |
Georg Dreyman, the writer. |
00:07:19 |
An arrogant type, the kind I warn my students about. |
00:07:23 |
But he's loyal. |
00:07:26 |
If they were all like him, I'd be out of a job. |
00:07:28 |
He's our only non-subversive writer |
00:07:34 |
He thinks the GDR is the greatest country on earth. |
00:07:40 |
It starts. |
00:07:55 |
What's wrong, my child? A new vision? |
00:07:58 |
Speak, Marta! Speak! |
00:08:00 |
Your Arthur... |
00:08:03 |
is dead. |
00:08:05 |
Arthur? Can't you be wrong, just this once? |
00:08:09 |
No, sister. Believe me. |
00:08:13 |
He fell to his death. |
00:08:19 |
Crushed by the mighty wheel. |
00:08:23 |
I see it, |
00:08:27 |
though I'd rather see any other horror. |
00:08:32 |
Why am I not spared these visions? |
00:08:38 |
Elena! Go home... and mourn. |
00:09:24 |
Did you like it? Dreyman's good, eh? |
00:09:28 |
I'd have him monitored. |
00:09:30 |
Monitored? All that teaching |
00:09:34 |
I could oversee it myself. |
00:09:36 |
He's clean, I tell you. Even Hempf likes him. |
00:09:39 |
We'd be shooting ourselves in the foot. |
00:09:43 |
I'm going down. |
00:09:48 |
"Faces of Love" |
00:10:15 |
I hear a lot about your work. |
00:10:17 |
They say culture's in good hands. |
00:10:20 |
Your name is mentioned in Party circles. |
00:10:22 |
We're the Party's 'shield and sword'. |
00:10:25 |
I'm aware of that at all times. |
00:10:32 |
What do you make of him? |
00:10:37 |
Of Georg Dreyman? |
00:10:42 |
Maybe... |
00:10:45 |
Maybe what? |
00:10:50 |
Maybe he's not as clean as he seems. |
00:10:56 |
Grubitz! That's why you and I are on top. |
00:11:01 |
Your average Stasi chump would have said, |
00:11:03 |
"One of our best! So loyal!" etc. |
00:11:06 |
But we can see more. |
00:11:09 |
You're heading to the very top, Grubitz. |
00:11:14 |
There's something fishy about him. |
00:11:16 |
I can feel it in my gut. |
00:11:23 |
Dreyman's having a party next week. |
00:11:25 |
Some dubious types are going, Hauser and that rabble. |
00:11:29 |
Try to wire the place discreetly by then. |
00:11:31 |
Measures A and B. |
00:11:34 |
Only in his rooms. Nothing conspicuous. |
00:11:37 |
He has powerful friends. |
00:11:39 |
No one is to know about this |
00:11:41 |
until we've found something. |
00:11:48 |
But if you get something on him, |
00:11:50 |
you'll have a good friend in the Central Committee. |
00:11:53 |
You understand what I'm saying? |
00:11:58 |
Have a nice evening, Comrade Minister. |
00:12:22 |
Why is he staring at us? |
00:12:28 |
What's he doing here, anyway? |
00:12:31 |
I think he's got a crush on you. |
00:12:49 |
I can't let the evening pass |
00:12:55 |
A great Socialist, |
00:12:59 |
Writers are engineers of the soul. |
00:13:03 |
So Georg Dreyman is |
00:13:04 |
one of our country's greatest engineers. |
00:13:10 |
- What charming bed-fellows you have. |
00:13:16 |
And to Christa-Maria Sieland, |
00:13:18 |
the loveliest pearl of the GDR. |
00:13:21 |
I believe that |
00:13:23 |
Let's raise our glasses |
00:13:26 |
to Christa-Maria Sieland: |
00:13:34 |
Someone like him doesn't even deserve |
00:13:37 |
Stay with me! |
00:13:42 |
And now something for the soul... |
00:13:45 |
May I? |
00:13:52 |
- How did you like my speech? |
00:13:56 |
I liked your play too. |
00:13:59 |
Really, it was good. |
00:14:00 |
"Engineers of the soul." |
00:14:04 |
Really? |
00:14:07 |
I, too, like to provoke, Mr. Hauser. |
00:14:10 |
But unlike you, I know how far I can go. |
00:14:15 |
I'm more like our dear Dreyman. |
00:14:18 |
He knows that the Party needs artists, |
00:14:20 |
but that artists need the Party even more. |
00:14:22 |
If you're going to talk politics, |
00:14:25 |
- I'm willing. |
00:14:33 |
I follow our theater with interest. |
00:14:37 |
It used to be theater people... |
00:14:39 |
- Paul! |
00:14:41 |
I've known Mr. Hauser for years. |
00:14:43 |
Comrade Schwalber! |
00:14:44 |
You did a good job tonight too. |
00:14:47 |
Dreyman, I'm glad you're working |
00:14:51 |
It wasn't always so. |
00:14:55 |
You're referring to Jerska? |
00:14:59 |
I think you judged him too harshly. |
00:15:03 |
Sure, he went too far in what he said. |
00:15:08 |
But |
00:15:09 |
put yourself in his shoes for a moment. |
00:15:15 |
He can't remove his name |
00:15:20 |
He could work for any theater in the West. |
00:15:24 |
But he wants to stay here. |
00:15:26 |
Because he believes in Socialism |
00:15:31 |
- His black-listing is... |
00:15:35 |
We don't do that here! |
00:15:46 |
Comrade Hempf, just between us: |
00:15:50 |
My plays are not strong enough |
00:15:52 |
to survive Schwalber's direction. |
00:15:54 |
I need Jerska, |
00:15:56 |
and I think you judged him too harshly. |
00:15:59 |
Well, I don't. |
00:16:00 |
But that's what we all love about your plays. |
00:16:03 |
Your love for mankind... |
00:16:05 |
your belief that people can change. |
00:16:08 |
Dreyman, |
00:16:10 |
no matter how often you say it in your plays, |
00:16:14 |
people do not change! |
00:16:19 |
How is he, by the way? |
00:16:22 |
He hopes that his black- ... |
00:16:26 |
that he can work again soon. |
00:16:34 |
Is he right in hoping? |
00:16:36 |
Of course he is. |
00:16:40 |
Because as you know, Dreyman, |
00:16:59 |
The team will be ready |
00:17:03 |
It needs to be finished by Thursday. |
00:17:06 |
You should plan everything carefully. |
00:17:07 |
Think you can do it? |
00:17:12 |
Good night. |
00:18:48 |
I'll get in trouble if I don't go. |
00:18:49 |
- With who? |
00:20:49 |
Twenty minutes. |
00:22:48 |
Yes? |
00:22:49 |
Frau Meineke... One word of this to anyone, |
00:22:52 |
and Masha loses her spot at the university. |
00:22:59 |
Is that understood? |
00:23:02 |
Yes. |
00:23:06 |
Send Mrs. Meineke a gift for her cooperation. |
00:23:22 |
It must be Thursday again. |
00:23:25 |
Time passes so quickly... |
00:23:47 |
- How are you? |
00:23:51 |
It's not always this noisy. |
00:23:54 |
Only on Thursdays, I know. |
00:23:57 |
Yes. |
00:24:02 |
We missed you at the premiere. |
00:24:05 |
Did Schwalber do a good job? |
00:24:09 |
His good bits were stolen from you. |
00:24:12 |
That keeps my ideas alive. |
00:24:22 |
Don't bear it. |
00:24:24 |
I can't bear those fat, dressed-up people |
00:24:26 |
at premieres anymore. |
00:24:31 |
Doesn't sound like me, does it? |
00:24:35 |
But maybe this is the real me, |
00:24:38 |
not the old Jerska. |
00:24:40 |
He was friendly and caring, nourished by success... |
00:24:46 |
all thanks to the grace of the bigwigs. |
00:24:54 |
But I won't complain much longer. |
00:24:56 |
In my next life, I'll simply be an author. |
00:25:00 |
A happy author |
00:25:05 |
Like you. |
00:25:08 |
What is a director if he can't direct? |
00:25:12 |
He's a projectionist without a film, |
00:25:16 |
a miller without corn. He is nothing. |
00:25:23 |
Nothing at all. |
00:25:28 |
Albert, the Minister was at the premiere. |
00:25:35 |
I spoke to him about your blacklisting. |
00:25:42 |
It looks promising. |
00:25:45 |
He gave me hope, concrete hope. Literally. |
00:25:52 |
Really? |
00:25:57 |
That's great. |
00:26:42 |
Cheap Georgian wine. Chateau Jerska. |
00:26:45 |
So is our holy drinker coming? |
00:26:51 |
I forgot to ask him. |
00:27:00 |
You're strong and forceful. |
00:27:04 |
Don't let this blackness into your life. |
00:27:06 |
- Albert is my friend. |
00:27:09 |
Looks like a 50th. |
00:27:12 |
But I'm going to be 40, right? |
00:27:15 |
Don't forget, you promised |
00:27:19 |
I would, but I don't have one. |
00:27:26 |
Bon anniversaire! |
00:27:31 |
Atie? |
00:27:33 |
You said you didn't want any books. |
00:27:37 |
Or can't you tie a tie, |
00:27:39 |
you old working-class poet? |
00:27:41 |
What? |
00:27:43 |
I was born wearing a tie! |
00:27:46 |
I had to "fight my way out |
00:27:48 |
of my middle-class fetters". |
00:27:51 |
Then put those fetters on again, just for me. |
00:28:03 |
Alright... It's no |
00:28:07 |
big deal to tie a tie. |
00:28:24 |
Frau Meineke, would you come in for a moment! |
00:28:35 |
Can you tie a tie? |
00:28:43 |
You've no idea how thankful I am. |
00:28:51 |
- Are you feeling unwell? |
00:28:57 |
Finished? |
00:29:02 |
Wonderful. It's perfect. |
00:29:08 |
It'll be our secret. |
00:29:12 |
Of course. |
00:29:24 |
I'll be damned! And I thought you couldn't do it. |
00:29:28 |
You don't normally hide your talents. |
00:29:31 |
You've no idea of the things I can do! |
00:29:39 |
The first guest. |
00:29:46 |
Our dear neighbors locked the main door again. |
00:29:49 |
- Can you go? |
00:30:18 |
Maestro! Our humble offerings. |
00:30:20 |
- I expressly said no books! |
00:30:27 |
Would you like a drink? |
00:30:28 |
- A soda. |
00:30:30 |
I'll get it. |
00:30:42 |
Why the hell's Albert sitting all alone? |
00:30:45 |
He won't talk to us. |
00:31:03 |
I brought you something too. |
00:31:08 |
- Did you really come here to read? |
00:31:22 |
I feel like a fraud among these people. |
00:31:26 |
A fraud? |
00:31:27 |
Come off it, Albert! |
00:31:33 |
You know how we admire you, |
00:31:35 |
how everybody admires you. |
00:31:37 |
For something I did 10 years ago... |
00:31:42 |
and could probably never do again. |
00:31:49 |
My favorite director! Wait! |
00:31:52 |
I need to talk to you a moment. |
00:31:54 |
Tell me again how you got into this position. |
00:31:56 |
Pure talent. |
00:31:59 |
Of course! |
00:32:03 |
But what else did you have to do? |
00:32:06 |
Everyone knows you're with the Stasi! |
00:32:09 |
- What an outrageous insinuation! |
00:32:11 |
- Paul! |
00:32:14 |
Excuse my friend, he's had too much to drink. |
00:32:20 |
But you know he's with the Stasi! |
00:32:23 |
No, Paul. I don't know that. |
00:32:45 |
You're such an idealist |
00:32:49 |
It was informers and conformists |
00:32:52 |
Spy, betrayer! |
00:32:54 |
If you don't take a stand, you're not human! |
00:32:58 |
If you ever want to take action, call. |
00:33:01 |
If not, we don't have to meet again. |
00:33:33 |
Your friends don't have much taste. |
00:33:36 |
That's really unfair. |
00:33:38 |
Here! Look at this beautiful backscratcher. |
00:33:42 |
That's a salad fork! |
00:33:45 |
Still, it's beautiful... And look at this. |
00:33:50 |
I'll write my new play with this. |
00:33:55 |
You have no taste either! |
00:33:58 |
I do in some things. |
00:34:15 |
- It's from Jerska. |
00:34:24 |
"Sonata for a Good Man" |
00:34:51 |
"'Lazlo' and CMS unwrap presents, |
00:34:55 |
then presumably have intercourse." |
00:35:02 |
You're late. |
00:35:05 |
Sorry, Captain. |
00:35:06 |
Those red lights made me |
00:35:10 |
You know how it is. |
00:35:20 |
They're already at it! Unbelievable! These artists! |
00:35:27 |
They're always at it! |
00:35:29 |
That's why I prefer monitoring artists |
00:35:36 |
See you tomorrow at 11 a.m. |
00:35:45 |
Albert Jerska, operation 'Engerling'. |
00:35:49 |
The files will be sent. Let's have lunch. |
00:36:03 |
The BSG Volleyball team will meet at 7 p.m. |
00:36:09 |
Did you forget? Bosses sit over there. |
00:36:12 |
Socialism must start somewhere. |
00:36:21 |
About the license plate of the car |
00:36:23 |
that brought Ms. Sieland home... |
00:36:28 |
It's Minister Hempf's car. |
00:36:34 |
Wiesler, |
00:36:36 |
we can't monitor top officials. |
00:36:40 |
Nothing written from now on, |
00:36:43 |
just oral! |
00:36:48 |
So we're helping a Committee member |
00:36:54 |
You know what this could mean |
00:36:56 |
for my career. And for yours. |
00:37:01 |
If we find something... |
00:37:09 |
Is that why we joined? |
00:37:12 |
You remember the oath we took? |
00:37:14 |
"We are the Party's shield and sword." |
00:37:16 |
What is the Party, if not its members? |
00:37:19 |
And if those members |
00:37:23 |
I've got a new one. |
00:37:26 |
Honecker comes into his office, |
00:37:29 |
opens the window, sees the sun, and says... |
00:37:34 |
What's wrong? |
00:37:39 |
Oh, excuse me... I just... |
00:37:43 |
No, carry on, colleague! |
00:37:45 |
No harm in laughing about |
00:37:50 |
I probably know the joke anyway. |
00:37:55 |
Come on, tell us! |
00:38:00 |
Well... Honecker... |
00:38:05 |
I mean, the Comrade General Secretary |
00:38:07 |
- "Good morning, dear sun!" |
00:38:14 |
The sun replies, "Good morning, dear Erich!" |
00:38:18 |
And at noon, Erich goes to the window and says, |
00:38:22 |
"Good day, dear sun!" |
00:38:24 |
The sun replies, "Good day, dear Erich!" |
00:38:26 |
In the evening, Erich says again, |
00:38:30 |
"Good evening, dear sun!" |
00:38:31 |
and the sun doesn't reply. |
00:38:33 |
"Good evening, dear sun..." |
00:38:34 |
"What's wrong?" he asks. |
00:38:37 |
And the sun replies, |
00:38:38 |
"Screw you, I'm in the West now!" |
00:38:47 |
Name? |
00:38:49 |
Rank? Department? |
00:38:53 |
Me? |
00:38:56 |
Stigler. |
00:38:58 |
2nd Lieutenant Axel Stigler. Dept. M. |
00:39:02 |
I don't have to tell you |
00:39:04 |
what this means for your career. |
00:39:09 |
Please, Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, |
00:39:14 |
You were just deriding the Party! |
00:39:18 |
and likely just the tip of the iceberg! |
00:39:21 |
I will report this to the Minister's office. |
00:39:36 |
Just kidding! Good one, huh? |
00:39:39 |
But yours was good too. |
00:39:43 |
What's the difference between Honecker and a phone? |
00:39:47 |
None at all. |
00:39:48 |
Hang up, try again! |
00:40:34 |
- No, I have to get home. |
00:40:45 |
Cold? |
00:40:49 |
Christa, you forgot our meeting on Thursday. |
00:40:54 |
Or did your poet have two birthdays in a row? |
00:41:00 |
Come on, get in. |
00:41:02 |
Get in! |
00:41:16 |
You don't know what's good for you. |
00:41:33 |
Don't worry. |
00:41:36 |
I'm looking after you. |
00:41:53 |
Tell me you don't need it too. |
00:41:57 |
Just say so, and I'll let you go. |
00:42:10 |
I'm meeting someone. |
00:42:14 |
Where do you think we're going? |
00:42:18 |
I'm taking you to him! |
00:43:18 |
Time for some bitter truths. |
00:43:37 |
Yes? |
00:43:48 |
Those idiots! |
00:44:12 |
Next Thursday at the Metropol. |
00:44:17 |
Drive! |
00:46:38 |
Christa? |
00:46:41 |
Just hold me. |
00:47:14 |
Good evening, comrade! |
00:47:18 |
You're 5 minutes late again. |
00:48:04 |
Evening. 11th floor, right corridor. |
00:48:07 |
I'm already up here. |
00:48:14 |
How did you get into the building? |
00:48:17 |
A bunch of you guys live here. |
00:48:21 |
I don't think I've been here before. |
00:48:24 |
No, I don't think you have. |
00:48:39 |
Well? Was that nice? |
00:48:51 |
- Stay awhile. |
00:48:54 |
my next customer is at half-past. |
00:48:58 |
I work on a schedule. |
00:49:07 |
At one-thirty? |
00:49:10 |
Sure I will. Don't you worry. |
00:49:16 |
Book me for longer next time. |
00:49:19 |
Bye. |
00:50:26 |
Georg? Did you hear about Hauser? |
00:50:31 |
No, what happened? |
00:50:32 |
He can't get a travel permit |
00:50:34 |
for his lectures in the West. |
00:50:39 |
Are you surprised? |
00:50:41 |
If he acts so arrogantly, |
00:50:45 |
Would you let him go, |
00:50:53 |
"CMS comes home. 'Lazlo' approves of |
00:51:10 |
Have you seen my Brecht book? |
00:51:12 |
- What? |
00:51:16 |
I don't know where it is. |
00:51:19 |
Strange. I could've sworn... |
00:51:23 |
One day in blue-moon September, |
00:51:28 |
I held her, my silent pale love, |
00:51:32 |
and lovely dream. |
00:51:35 |
Above us in the summer skies |
00:51:38 |
was a cloud that caught my eye. |
00:51:40 |
It was white and so high up. |
00:51:44 |
And when I looked up, |
00:52:09 |
- Yes? |
00:52:12 |
What's up? |
00:52:14 |
Georg, it's about Jerska. |
00:52:17 |
He hanged himself last night. |
00:52:27 |
Georg? |
00:52:31 |
I'm going to hang up, okay? |
00:53:04 |
"Sonata for a Good Man" |
00:54:21 |
You know what Lenin said |
00:54:28 |
"If I keep listening to it, |
00:54:29 |
I won't finish the revolution." |
00:54:36 |
Can anyone who has heard this music, |
00:54:40 |
I mean truly heard it, |
00:54:43 |
really be a bad person? |
00:55:19 |
Are you really with the Stasi? |
00:55:27 |
Do you even know what the Stasi is? |
00:55:30 |
Yes. They're bad men |
00:55:37 |
I see. |
00:55:38 |
What's the name of your... |
00:55:44 |
My what? |
00:55:47 |
Ball! What's the name of your ball? |
00:55:50 |
You're funny! Balls don't have names. |
00:56:00 |
It's all in place, Minister. |
00:56:02 |
The latest technology. |
00:56:05 |
Behind every light switch, even in the toilet. |
00:56:07 |
- Measure C in the hall... |
00:56:11 |
Find something! |
00:56:13 |
I'd advise even my worst enemy |
00:56:20 |
Now get out of here! |
00:56:31 |
Nowack, you're to watch Christa-Maria. |
00:56:33 |
You'll report on every minute |
00:56:39 |
We revoked Hauser's travel permit |
00:56:43 |
Maybe that'll lead to something. |
00:56:49 |
How's it going between CMS and the Minister? |
00:56:52 |
They're meeting tomorrow night, I think. |
00:56:55 |
That's good! Very good! |
00:57:01 |
Or a lot to lose. |
00:57:03 |
Don't forget that. |
00:57:17 |
I used to be afraid of just two things: |
00:57:21 |
Being alone, and not being able to write. |
00:57:26 |
Since Albert's death, |
00:57:29 |
or about other people. |
00:57:32 |
All I'm afraid of now is losing you. |
00:57:36 |
You needn't be afraid tonight. |
00:57:40 |
I'm just going out for a few hours. |
00:57:42 |
Where to? |
00:57:45 |
An old classmate's in town. |
00:57:48 |
Really, Christa? |
00:57:52 |
- Really? |
00:57:59 |
I know. |
00:58:03 |
I know where you're going. |
00:58:08 |
And I'm asking you not to go. |
00:58:11 |
You don't need him. |
00:58:14 |
You don't need him. |
00:58:25 |
I know about your medication too. |
00:58:29 |
And how little faith you have in your talent. |
00:58:33 |
Have faith in me, at least. |
00:58:37 |
Christa-Maria. |
00:58:40 |
You are a great artist. |
00:58:45 |
I know that. |
00:58:50 |
You don't need him. |
00:58:54 |
You don't need him. |
00:58:56 |
Stay here. |
00:58:59 |
Don't go to him. |
00:59:05 |
No? Don't I need him? |
00:59:15 |
What about you? |
00:59:18 |
Then you don't need it either. |
00:59:23 |
But you get in bed with them too. |
00:59:25 |
Why do you do it? |
00:59:28 |
Because they can destroy you too, |
00:59:30 |
despite your talent and your faith. |
00:59:36 |
Because they decide what we play, |
00:59:39 |
and who can direct. |
00:59:45 |
You don't want to end up like Jerska. |
00:59:48 |
And neither do I. |
00:59:51 |
That's why I'm going now. |
00:59:54 |
You're right about so many things, |
01:00:02 |
But I ask you, |
01:00:05 |
I implore you: Don't go! |
01:00:08 |
Well, boss, am I on time? |
01:00:11 |
Let me guess what those two are doing... |
01:00:17 |
Come on, I'll take over. |
01:00:18 |
I don't want you |
01:00:31 |
"Don't go through that door." |
01:00:33 |
Where's she going? |
01:00:36 |
To meet an old classmate. |
01:00:45 |
You'll have my detailed report tomorrow. |
01:00:48 |
I can manage. |
01:00:53 |
Good night. |
01:01:48 |
What are you staring at? |
01:02:00 |
Soda water. |
01:02:04 |
No, uh... Vodka. |
01:02:08 |
Double. |
01:02:16 |
Another one. |
01:02:33 |
Can I have a cognac, please? |
01:03:27 |
Madam? |
01:03:29 |
Go away, I want to be alone. |
01:03:33 |
Ms. Sieland. |
01:03:37 |
Do we know each other? |
01:03:39 |
You don't know me, but I know you. |
01:03:43 |
Many people love you |
01:03:45 |
for who you are. |
01:03:52 |
- Actors are never 'who they are.' |
01:04:03 |
I've seen you on stage. |
01:04:06 |
You were more who you are... |
01:04:14 |
than you are now. |
01:04:20 |
So you know what I'm like. |
01:04:22 |
I'm your audience. |
01:04:31 |
- I have to go. |
01:04:35 |
I'm meeting an old classmate. I... |
01:04:38 |
You see? |
01:04:44 |
No? |
01:04:46 |
No. |
01:05:00 |
So you know her well, |
01:05:06 |
What do you think... |
01:05:09 |
Would she hurt someone |
01:05:17 |
Would she sell herself for art? |
01:05:20 |
For art? |
01:05:22 |
You already have art. |
01:05:27 |
You are a great artist. |
01:05:31 |
Don't you know that? |
01:05:37 |
And you are a good man. |
01:06:15 |
"When I begin my shift, 'Lazlo' and CMS |
01:06:18 |
are arguing about whether CMS |
01:06:24 |
Eventually, she leaves. |
01:06:30 |
But after about 20 minutes, CMS returns, |
01:06:34 |
to 'Lazlo's' surprise, and mine. |
01:06:36 |
He seems very happy about this. |
01:06:45 |
She says she'll never leave again. |
01:06:48 |
He says repeatedly: 'Now I'll have the strength, |
01:06:54 |
This likely refers to writing a new stage play. |
01:06:58 |
In recent weeks, 'Lazlo's' playwriting |
01:07:04 |
What she means by her statement is unclear. |
01:07:07 |
Perhaps she intends to |
01:07:12 |
The rest of the night was peaceful." |
01:07:15 |
Oh, comrade... uh... It's just because... |
01:07:22 |
Good report. |
01:07:27 |
Really? |
01:07:47 |
I didn't know he was in such a bad way. |
01:07:53 |
Neither did I. |
01:08:01 |
"On One Who Made it to the Other Side: |
01:08:04 |
The statistics office on Hans Beimler Street |
01:08:08 |
counts everything, knows everything. |
01:08:10 |
How many shoes I buy a year: 2.3. |
01:08:14 |
How many books I read a year: 3.2. |
01:08:16 |
And how many pupils graduate |
01:08:23 |
But there is one thing they don't count, |
01:08:27 |
maybe because even bureaucrats find it painful, |
01:08:30 |
and that's suicides. |
01:08:33 |
If you call Beimler Street to ask |
01:08:35 |
how many people between the Elbe and the Oder, |
01:08:39 |
between the Baltic Sea and the Ore |
01:08:42 |
our numbers oracle is silent. |
01:08:44 |
But it may just note your name |
01:08:46 |
Those grey men |
01:08:49 |
who ensure safety in our land... and happiness. |
01:08:55 |
In 1977, our country |
01:09:00 |
They called them 'self-murderers'. |
01:09:04 |
But it has nothing to do with murder. |
01:09:07 |
It knows no bloodlust,\no heated passion, |
01:09:12 |
it knows only death, the death of all hope. |
01:09:17 |
When we stopped counting, |
01:09:20 |
only one country in Europe |
01:09:24 |
Hungary. |
01:09:25 |
We came next, the land of |
01:09:30 |
One of the uncounted |
01:09:33 |
the great director. |
01:09:35 |
It's him I want to talk about today..." |
01:09:42 |
I tried to get statistics that show... |
01:09:45 |
...that State Security operates more |
01:09:47 |
I foolishly rehearsed |
01:09:57 |
my speech for the West in here. |
01:10:03 |
Since then, I've become very musical. |
01:10:08 |
We can meet at my place. |
01:10:17 |
"3 p.m., Pankow Memorial" |
01:10:26 |
Well? Is this safe enough? |
01:10:33 |
My own 'bodyguard'. |
01:10:35 |
I call him Rolf. |
01:10:41 |
Fire away. |
01:10:43 |
Here. |
01:10:55 |
You want to publish this? |
01:10:58 |
In the West, with your help. |
01:11:06 |
Will you help? Have you told Christa? |
01:11:09 |
No. |
01:11:11 |
I'll help you, |
01:11:12 |
as long as you don't tell her anything. |
01:11:16 |
What? |
01:11:17 |
Georg, it's for her own protection. |
01:11:21 |
This could be right for the 'Spiegel'. |
01:11:23 |
I'm friends with an editor there. |
01:11:25 |
Gregor Hessenstein. Know him? |
01:11:27 |
Not personally. |
01:11:28 |
You have to meet him. |
01:11:31 |
But you can't publish using your real name. |
01:11:35 |
Unless your idea of fun |
01:11:40 |
I'm cold! |
01:11:43 |
We could go to my place? |
01:11:46 |
There's no State Security at my place! |
01:11:49 |
A friend of Margot Honecker, |
01:11:51 |
winner of the National Award... |
01:11:53 |
Second class! |
01:11:55 |
My apartment is clean, I tell you! |
01:11:58 |
If only we could be sure... |
01:12:04 |
I have an idea |
01:12:07 |
You know my uncle Frank, |
01:12:09 |
who visits from West Berlin every Saturday, |
01:12:12 |
with his big gold Mercedes. |
01:12:15 |
It seems a bit risky to me, Mr. Hauser. |
01:12:19 |
Yes, I agree with Georg. |
01:12:21 |
Hiding your nephew under the back seat? |
01:12:24 |
I'm really not sure. |
01:12:27 |
Come on, they won't search under the seats. |
01:12:30 |
They'll look under the axles, tap the exhaust, |
01:12:33 |
then I'll be across. Paul too. |
01:12:36 |
The border guards aren't very bright. |
01:12:44 |
- Which border will you cross? |
01:12:47 |
Good old Henrich Heine. |
01:12:49 |
They know me and my gold Mercedes. |
01:12:52 |
I'm friends with the guards. |
01:12:56 |
Trust me, I'll call you in 2 hours, |
01:12:59 |
a Schultheiss beer in my hand, |
01:13:00 |
and report the news: |
01:13:03 |
Paul's across. |
01:13:06 |
No! What about Paul's Stasi man? |
01:13:08 |
Rolf! Rolfy, Rolfy... |
01:13:15 |
Okay, I have to go. |
01:13:17 |
We wouldn't want him to suffocate, would we? |
01:13:38 |
Another beer? |
01:13:45 |
Border control, Heinrich-Heine Street. |
01:13:49 |
Who is this? |
01:13:51 |
Who is this? |
01:13:54 |
No reply. |
01:14:01 |
Just this once, my friend. |
01:14:27 |
- Dreyman. |
01:14:28 |
Paul's plan worked! |
01:14:31 |
No border control at all? |
01:14:33 |
No, no special checks. |
01:14:36 |
Those boys aren't so bad. |
01:14:38 |
It worked as planned. |
01:14:40 |
Thanks for doing this, Mr. Hauser. |
01:14:43 |
Forget it, it wasn't all that dangerous. |
01:14:48 |
- Yeah, true. |
01:14:50 |
See you soon, and thanks a lot. |
01:14:52 |
Bye. |
01:15:03 |
What do we do if they ask |
01:15:12 |
Then... we'll say |
01:15:16 |
We'll say we're writing a stage play together. |
01:15:21 |
For the GDR's 40th anniversary. |
01:15:24 |
Yes! |
01:15:26 |
And it's kind of true. |
01:15:31 |
Who'd have thought our State Security |
01:15:33 |
was so incompetent? |
01:15:40 |
Who'd have thought they were such idiots? |
01:15:48 |
Just you wait... |
01:15:59 |
"7.32 p.m. No further noteworthy incidents." |
01:16:24 |
Hello, comrade. Listen to this here! |
01:16:31 |
Sure, in 1967 there were many suicides. |
01:16:35 |
But why in 1977? You must explain. |
01:16:37 |
You must describe |
01:16:41 |
It should remain literature, |
01:16:43 |
not political agitation. |
01:16:45 |
The text is great. |
01:16:47 |
I just want to be sure people |
01:16:50 |
It'll cause a sensation either way. |
01:16:54 |
- That's Hauser! |
01:16:58 |
He's not in the West! |
01:17:06 |
They're writing a play together. |
01:17:10 |
For the 40th anniversary. |
01:17:13 |
It doesn't sound like a play to me. |
01:17:19 |
No? Then what? |
01:17:22 |
I don't know... but not a play. |
01:17:26 |
You think a lot, Sergeant Leye. |
01:17:29 |
You're not an intellectual, are you? |
01:17:31 |
Me? No... I'm not one of those. |
01:17:34 |
Then don't behave like one. |
01:17:37 |
I chose you because you know |
01:17:40 |
and don't ask questions. |
01:17:44 |
Leave the thinking to your superiors. |
01:17:46 |
Yes, Captain. I'll be off, then. |
01:17:50 |
Have a nice day... |
01:17:53 |
of work... I mean, I hope you enjoy your work. |
01:18:01 |
Maybe I can re-write this part. |
01:18:05 |
I'll send you |
01:18:06 |
all the material we have. |
01:18:08 |
Can you do it in two weeks? |
01:18:11 |
Then I could run it as a cover story |
01:18:14 |
for the first week in March. |
01:18:18 |
It's Christa. |
01:18:21 |
Georg? |
01:18:24 |
Christa, this is Gregor Hessenstein. |
01:18:28 |
- Christa Sieland. |
01:18:32 |
So, what conspiracy are you cooking up? |
01:18:35 |
Hauser and I are writing a play |
01:18:39 |
Together? |
01:18:40 |
The 'Spiegel' may do an article on it. |
01:18:44 |
- And who'll play the lead role? |
01:18:47 |
Christa, who would you rather play: |
01:18:49 |
Lenin or his dear old mother? |
01:18:51 |
You can choose. |
01:18:54 |
I see I'm not welcome here. |
01:18:56 |
I'll go for a nap. |
01:19:06 |
Your caution is praiseworthy. |
01:19:09 |
The fewer people know, the better. |
01:19:11 |
The Stasi is not to be toyed with. |
01:19:19 |
On that note, I brought something for you. |
01:19:27 |
I'd have preferred the whole pie. |
01:19:30 |
The Stasi can identify its typeface. |
01:19:34 |
If they intercepted the text at the border, |
01:19:35 |
for your typewriter using, |
01:19:37 |
you'd end up in Hohenschonhausen. |
01:19:39 |
And that's no fun, |
01:19:41 |
as Paul can confirm, right? |
01:19:45 |
I'm afraid I could only get |
01:19:48 |
Do you mind writing it in red? |
01:19:53 |
That won't be a problem. |
01:19:55 |
Is there somewhere you can hide it? |
01:19:59 |
- Yes, I'll find a place. |
01:20:03 |
I don't want my next article to be about |
01:20:05 |
your disappearance! |
01:20:08 |
Nobody may know that this typewriter exists! |
01:20:13 |
Is this apartment really safe? |
01:20:15 |
Yes. |
01:20:18 |
It's the only place left in the GDR |
01:20:20 |
where I can say what I want. |
01:20:23 |
Fine, then let's drink to that! |
01:20:29 |
This is the real stuff. |
01:20:32 |
To you! To letting all of Germany |
01:20:45 |
Cheers. It's better than the Russian stuff! |
01:20:49 |
To your success! |
01:21:07 |
I must see Comrade Grubitz. |
01:21:12 |
Tomorrow at 2.30 p.m... |
01:21:18 |
Tell him that if he blows the cover, |
01:21:23 |
It's easy! |
01:21:25 |
He can call the Pope and complain! |
01:21:28 |
Okay, I've spent enough time on this nonsense. |
01:21:32 |
Wiesler, I'm glad you're here. |
01:21:34 |
I have to show you something. |
01:21:38 |
"Prison Conditions for Subversive Artists |
01:21:43 |
Pretty scientific, eh? |
01:21:46 |
And look at this: |
01:21:49 |
"Dissertation supervisor: A. Grubitz." |
01:21:57 |
I only gave him a B... |
01:21:59 |
They shouldn't think |
01:22:03 |
But this is first-class. |
01:22:05 |
Did you know that there are just 5 types of artists? |
01:22:10 |
Your guy, Dreyman, |
01:22:12 |
is a type 4. A "hysterical anthropocentrist." |
01:22:16 |
Can't bear being alone, |
01:22:18 |
always talking, needing friends. |
01:22:20 |
That type should never be brought to trial. |
01:22:22 |
They thrive on that. |
01:22:25 |
Temporary detention is the best way |
01:22:28 |
to deal with them. |
01:22:29 |
Complete isolation and no set release date. |
01:22:32 |
No human contact the whole time, |
01:22:34 |
not even with the guards. |
01:22:36 |
Good treatment, |
01:22:38 |
no harassment, no abuse, no scandals... |
01:22:41 |
nothing they could write about later. |
01:22:44 |
After 10 months, we release. |
01:22:48 |
Suddenly. |
01:22:50 |
That guy won't cause us any more trouble. |
01:22:52 |
Know what the best part is? |
01:22:53 |
Most type 4s we've processed in this way |
01:22:58 |
never write anything again! Or paint anything, |
01:23:01 |
or whatever artists do... |
01:23:04 |
And that without any use of force... |
01:23:08 |
Just like that! Kind of... |
01:23:10 |
like a present. |
01:23:13 |
What brings you here? |
01:23:17 |
That's why I'm here. |
01:23:20 |
I think the time has come... |
01:23:23 |
For what? |
01:23:25 |
For us to slim down the operation. |
01:23:30 |
I don't want to run day and night shifts |
01:23:32 |
for such an uncertain case. |
01:23:35 |
Uncertain, eh? |
01:23:37 |
You don't think we'll find anything |
01:23:40 |
for the Minister? |
01:23:41 |
Maybe if we're more flexible... |
01:23:45 |
If we watch 'Lazlo' outside his own four walls. |
01:23:52 |
Shall I give the case to Udo? |
01:23:54 |
I'd like to continue it myself. |
01:23:58 |
Why? |
01:24:00 |
It could produce results. |
01:24:03 |
I just need to plan more flexibly, |
01:24:07 |
when I come and go, days and nights... |
01:24:12 |
Maybe he's up to something outside. |
01:24:19 |
Something doesn't feel right here. |
01:24:24 |
There's something you're hiding. |
01:24:35 |
Alright, I'll take Udo off the case. |
01:24:38 |
I can use him for this church case. |
01:24:42 |
Give me a request in writing. |
01:24:44 |
Write as a reason:"Lack of suspicious acts." |
01:24:52 |
And, Wiesler! |
01:24:56 |
A piece of advice for you: |
01:24:58 |
We're not at school anymore. |
01:25:00 |
Projects aren't about grades, |
01:25:02 |
but success. |
01:25:21 |
"The state statistics office |
01:25:24 |
counts everything, knows everything. |
01:25:26 |

How many books I read a year: 3.2. |

We're not writing a play, Christa. |
01:27:53 |
You don't have to tell me. |
01:27:55 |
But I want to. It's a text... |
01:27:58 |
Don't tell me. |
01:28:01 |
Maybe I am as unreliable as your friends say. |
01:28:06 |
But I... I'm with you now... |
01:28:09 |
No matter what. |
01:28:46 |
Minister Riesenhuber, author of the report, |
01:28:50 |
said there is no quick fix |
01:28:55 |
East-West German relations under strain. |
01:28:58 |
'Spiegel' magazine today published |
01:29:01 |
a text by an unnamed East German author |
01:29:04 |
about suicide in the German Democratic Republic. |
01:29:09 |
This follows a series of suicides by prominent |
01:29:13 |
East-Berlin artists, the latest being Albert Jerska. |
01:29:16 |
After being blacklisted for 7 years, |
01:29:19 |
Jerska committed suicide on January 5th. |
01:29:22 |
In 1977, the GDR ceased publishing |
01:29:27 |
That year, Hungary was the only country |
01:29:33 |
Yes, Sir... |
01:29:36 |
But we... |
01:29:39 |
General, our man at the 'Spiegel' |
01:29:41 |
got us a photostat of the original. |
01:29:44 |
Congratulations! So who wrote it? |
01:29:47 |
He doesn't know, but using the typeface, we'll... |
01:29:50 |
You're hopeless! Get me names! |
01:29:53 |
I will, as soon as we get the results. |
01:29:56 |
If not, you'll be put against the wall. |
01:30:05 |
Andrea, where's the graphologist? |
01:30:08 |
Thus I conclude that it is a domestic |
01:30:12 |
most likely a 'Kolibri' travel model, |
01:30:15 |
made by the VEB Groma. |
01:30:19 |
If the ink were black, I could be more precise. |
01:30:24 |
Who owns such a typewriter? |
01:30:25 |
There are none registered in the GDR. |
01:30:28 |
What does that mean? |
01:30:30 |
Paul Hauser uses a 'Valentino' typewriter, |
01:30:35 |
- That model has a more horizontal... |
01:30:41 |
He writes on an Optima 'Elite'. |
01:30:46 |
Georg Dreyman? |
01:30:47 |
He writes his first drafts by hand, |
01:30:50 |
then types them up |
01:30:53 |
He's never used anything else. |
01:30:58 |
How big is this 'Kolibri' typewriter? |
01:31:01 |
It's one of the smallest available: |
01:31:04 |
19.5cm x 99cm x 19.55cm. |
01:31:10 |
So it's as easy to smuggle as a book. |
01:31:15 |
Thank you. You may go. |
01:31:21 |
Goodbye, comrade. |

"The Secret Suicide Statistics" |
01:31:35 |
Andrea, put me through to Wiesler. |
01:31:38 |
"4 p.m. The group is exhausted |
01:32:01 |
- Yes? |
01:32:05 |
- In the 'Spiegel'? Yes. |
01:32:09 |
Hauser called Dreyman |
01:32:13 |
Wiesler, this is very important. |
01:32:18 |
Did he mention who may be behind it? |
01:32:24 |
I don't think he mentioned anything. |
01:32:31 |
A 'Spiegel' editor crossed the border |
01:32:37 |
and spent four hours here. |
01:32:40 |
Dept. VI followed him to Prenzlauer Berg, |
01:32:44 |
Did he have contact with Dreyman? |
01:32:48 |
- Wouldn't I have noted it in the report? |
01:32:52 |
But I smell a writer behind this text. |
01:32:55 |
I'd be astonished if I'm wrong. |
01:32:57 |
So keep your ears open! |
01:33:06 |
Shit! |
01:33:24 |
Get in. |
01:33:40 |
If one of your staff deceives you, |
01:33:44 |
Sure, sure! |
01:33:46 |
Even a woman? Right? |
01:33:50 |
But of course! |
01:33:53 |
Isn't everyone who serves a great man |
01:33:58 |
You could see it like that... |
01:34:01 |
Indeed, you'd have to see it like that. |
01:34:05 |
This is where she gets her illegal medication. |
01:34:12 |
You should know this, it's your department. |
01:34:16 |
It's up to you whether you ruin her or not, |
01:34:21 |
but I never want to see her |
01:34:28 |
Now get out. |
01:34:37 |
Shut the door! |
01:34:40 |
Ms. Sieland? Please follow us. |
01:34:47 |
Come along. |
01:35:08 |
So... |
01:35:11 |
Comrade Sieland, a beautiful career you had, hm? |
01:35:16 |
A pity really. You were good. |
01:35:19 |
You were very good indeed. |
01:35:22 |
Just too short-lived. |
01:35:25 |
Do have a seat. |
01:35:34 |
What do actors do when they can't act anymore? |
01:35:42 |
Please... |
01:35:46 |
Isn't there anything I can do for you? |
01:35:51 |
- For... State Security? |
01:35:58 |
I know nearly all our artists. |
01:36:00 |
I could find out a lot. |
01:36:02 |
I believe you. |
01:36:16 |
Maybe there's something else I could do? |
01:36:22 |
Something we might both find agreeable. |
01:36:27 |
Unfortunately, |
01:36:32 |
you've made an enemy |
01:36:35 |
Therefore, I have less freedom |
01:36:41 |
Is there no way I can save myself? |
01:36:45 |
I'm sorry, madam. |
01:36:59 |
There is one possibility. |
01:37:01 |
Since you spend so much time |
01:37:08 |
You don't know anything about an article |
01:37:13 |
An article about suicide. |
01:38:09 |
State Security! Open the door! |
01:38:19 |
Open up! |
01:38:25 |
He's turned on the light in his study. |
01:38:28 |
Go in before he destroys any evidence. |
01:38:31 |
Crowbar! |
01:38:36 |
I don't think that'll be necessary. |
01:38:39 |
- What's the matter, comrades? |
01:38:42 |
Warrant is here. |
01:38:45 |
- What are you looking for? |
01:38:48 |
Boysen, Muller: bedroom. |
01:38:50 |
Greska: kitchen, bathroom, hall. |
01:38:52 |
Heise and Thomas: living room, study. |
01:38:55 |
Go! |
01:39:47 |
What do you burn in here? |
01:39:50 |
Substandard texts. |
01:39:57 |
A lot of Western literature, eh? |
01:40:01 |
That book was a gift from Margot Honecker. |
01:40:07 |
- Status? |
01:40:14 |
We found nothing, |
01:40:21 |
- No trace to be found! |
01:40:26 |
Yes, Comrade! What's our next move? |
01:40:35 |
- Comrade? |
01:40:39 |
In the unlikely event that damage has |
01:40:46 |
I'm sure everything's in perfect order. |
01:41:11 |
Yes? |
01:41:12 |
Wiesler, I'll be expecting you |
01:41:20 |
Okay, I'll say what we're all thinking: |
01:41:22 |
It was Christa-Maria. |
01:41:24 |
The Stasi got her, and she ratted on you. |
01:41:30 |
It wasn't her. |
01:41:31 |
How can you be so sure? |
01:41:34 |
You yourself said she wasn't home last night. |
01:41:40 |
She knows the hiding place. |
01:41:44 |
Yes, she knows. |
01:41:52 |
So if you're right, |
01:41:53 |
and the search was due to her, |
01:41:56 |
then she's our guardian angel. |
01:42:04 |
I'm here to see Lt. Col. Grubitz. |
01:42:07 |
Captain Wiesler. |
01:42:09 |
Interrogation room 76. |
01:42:28 |
Yes! Come in. |
01:42:35 |
Sit down. |
01:42:43 |
So? |
01:42:47 |
What was that about? |
01:42:49 |
You're asking me what that was about? |
01:42:54 |
What do you suspect Dreyman of? |
01:42:58 |
He wrote the 'Spiegel' article. |
01:43:05 |
Who alleges that? |
01:43:10 |
Come with me! |
01:43:22 |
Here. |
01:43:26 |
I don't know how you could be |
01:43:30 |
But I know you differently, |
01:43:34 |
So I'm giving you one last chance. |
01:43:37 |
Bring in prisoner 662, now! |
01:43:45 |
Are you still on the right side? |
01:43:50 |
Yes. |
01:43:52 |
Then don't screw it up again. |
01:44:18 |
Shall I restrain the prisoner? |
01:44:21 |
No, she's an informant now. You may go. |
01:44:31 |
So you're my commanding officer? |
01:44:33 |
Write. |
01:44:36 |
Then command me. |
01:44:53 |
In another 10 hours... |
01:44:56 |
No, in 9 and a half, |
01:44:59 |
Mr. Roessing will tell the audience that |
01:45:01 |
you, for health reasons, cannot appear. |
01:45:07 |
And that will be your last mention |
01:45:12 |
Is that what you want? |
01:45:16 |
Tell us where the evidence is hidden. |
01:45:21 |
There is no evidence, |
01:45:23 |
and no typewriter. I made it all up. |
01:45:27 |
I hope not. |
01:45:30 |
If so, we'll have to keep you here. |
01:45:33 |
A false statement is perjury, |
01:45:41 |
Dreyman will go to prison anyway, |
01:45:43 |
on account of your statement... |
01:45:47 |
and the material |
01:45:55 |
Save yourself, at least. |
01:45:59 |
You have no idea how many people |
01:46:01 |
are in jail here for senseless heroics. |
01:46:07 |
Don't forget your audience. |
01:46:09 |
"Don't forget your audience!" |
01:46:18 |
Don't forget what the state has done for you... |
01:46:23 |
Your whole life long. |
01:46:25 |
Now you can do something for the state. |
01:46:28 |
And it will thank you. |
01:46:32 |
Tell me where the typewriter's hidden. |
01:46:37 |
Dreyman will never find out. |
01:46:40 |
I'll let you go immediately, |
01:46:43 |
and we'll strike only after you're back with him. |
01:46:47 |
You'll manage to feign surprise, I'm sure. |
01:46:51 |
And tonight you'll be back on stage. |
01:46:56 |
In your element. |
01:47:00 |
In front of your audience. |
01:47:12 |
Tell me where the documents are. |
01:47:25 |
Where are they? |
01:47:30 |
They're in the apartment... |
01:47:36 |
Under the doorsill, |
01:47:38 |
between the living room and the hallway. |
01:47:47 |
You can remove it. |
01:48:03 |
Is this where you mean? |
01:48:37 |
You look worn out. |
01:48:41 |
That means responsibilities, |
01:48:44 |
but also privileges... |
01:49:12 |
Guard! |
01:49:14 |
Call Wiesler for me! |
01:49:15 |
Col. Wiesler has left the premises, comrade. |
01:49:19 |
I see! |
01:49:22 |
Alright. Stand down. |
01:49:40 |
What does a rider do when he's thrown? |
01:49:43 |
He gets back on again. |
01:49:44 |
Go inside. Sleep it off. |
01:49:47 |
What happened has nothing to do with the house. |
01:49:51 |
No, but with the whole country. |
01:50:58 |
Christa! |
01:50:59 |
Stop, I was at Kerschner's and they had no water. |
01:51:22 |
You were in a hurry to get here! |
01:51:25 |
- Operation 'Lazlo' is still in progress! |
01:51:27 |
Yes. |
01:51:29 |
Here's today's report. |
01:51:32 |
The last report for Operation 'Lazlo'. |
01:51:57 |
Why didn't you call me? |
01:51:59 |
What? |
01:52:02 |
Why didn't you call me? |
01:52:05 |
I was out in the country. |
01:52:08 |
Can you hand me the nail brush? |
01:52:16 |
The Stasi was here. |
01:52:20 |
Who was here? |
01:52:23 |
State Security! Open up! |
01:52:26 |
Stay here. |
01:52:36 |
Hello, Comrade Dreyman. |
01:52:40 |
I just wanted to make sure |
01:52:44 |
Your study? We'll start there. |
01:52:55 |
Men, search carefully |
01:53:17 |
Oh, what do we have here? |
01:53:23 |
This doorsill doesn't look kosher to me. |
01:53:30 |
Could it be... a secret compartment? |
01:53:48 |
Let her go. She's not a suspect. |
01:54:06 |
The actress... |
01:54:39 |
I was too weak. |
01:54:42 |
I can never put right what I've done wrong. |
01:54:45 |
There's nothing to put right! |
01:54:47 |
I moved the ty... |
01:55:00 |
Forgive me, forgive me... Forgive me, forgive me... |
01:55:36 |
Take your men back to headquarters. |
01:55:55 |
I've concluded the mission, Comrade Dreyman. |
01:56:01 |
Sorry. |
01:56:04 |
Come on. |
01:57:05 |
There's one thing you should understand, Wiesler. |
01:57:09 |
Your career is over. |
01:57:12 |
Even if you were too smart to leave any traces. |
01:57:16 |
You'll end up in some cellar, |
01:57:22 |
That means the next 20 years. |
01:57:24 |
20 years! |
01:57:27 |
That's a long time. |

Yes, the Wall has come down! |

The border guards have opened the gates. |

People are streaming out in thousands! |

Dear listeners, November 9th, 1989, |

What's wrong, my child? |
01:59:09 |
Your Arthur is dead. |
01:59:14 |
Arthur... Can't you be wrong, just this once? |
01:59:18 |
I saw him this morning! |
01:59:21 |
No, sister. Believe me. |
01:59:26 |
The loyal men surround him, as you do me, |
01:59:29 |
and despite the high sun, cast |
01:59:31 |
seven shadows on his noble dead body. |
01:59:36 |
Crushed by the mighty wheel. I see it, |
01:59:41 |
though I'd rather see any other horror. |
01:59:46 |
Why am I not spared these visions? |
01:59:50 |
Elena! Go home and mourn. |
01:59:55 |
I will finish your shift. |
02:00:07 |
Too many memories, eh? |
02:00:14 |
I couldn't stay in there either. |
02:00:19 |
But what's this I hear? |
02:00:22 |
You've not written since the Wall fell? |
02:00:25 |
That's not good. |
02:00:28 |
After all our country invested in you. |
02:00:32 |
Although I understand you, Dreyman. |
02:00:35 |
What is there to write about in this new Germany? |
02:00:38 |
Nothing to believe in, nothing to rebel against... |
02:00:46 |
Life was good in our little Republic. |
02:00:49 |
Many people only realize that now. |
02:00:52 |
- There is one thing I do need to ask you. |
02:00:57 |
Why was I never under surveillance? |
02:01:00 |
Everyone else was. Why not me? |
02:01:09 |
You were under full surveillance! |
02:01:12 |
We knew everything about you. |
02:01:16 |
Full surveillance? |
02:01:18 |
Every inch was bugged. The full program. |
02:01:23 |
Impossible! |
02:01:27 |
Take a look behind your light switches. |
02:01:30 |
We knew everything. |
02:01:34 |
We knew that you couldn't give |
02:01:45 |
To think that people like you |

I ordered them chronologically. |

Old ones at the top, |
02:04:22 |
My respects! |
02:04:45 |
Operation 'Lazlo'. Operation 'Lazlo', subject: |
02:04:51 |
The lead came from Minister Bruno Hempf. |
02:04:57 |
'Lazlo' takes delivery of a daily Western newspaper |
02:05:04 |
I suggest not taking any action |
02:05:07 |
so as not to arouse suspicion of surveillance. |
02:05:12 |
'Lazlo' and CMS unwrap presents, |
02:05:15 |
then presumably have intercourse. |
02:05:27 |
The visitor was Paul Hauser's uncle from West Berlin. |
02:05:31 |
They tell him about a play |
02:05:35 |
and 'Lazlo' will write |
02:05:42 |
We expect further information on the play, |
02:05:45 |
a plot summary etc. |

I, Christa-Maria Sieland, |
02:06:32 |
freely commit myself to work unofficially |
02:06:38 |
This decision is the result of my conviction that... |
02:06:47 |
Georg Dreyman |
02:06:48 |
wrote the 'Spiegel' article |
02:06:52 |
His accomplices were the journalist Paul Hauser... |
02:07:04 |
Christa Sieland was arrested on March 10th |
02:07:08 |
for drug abuse, on Minister Hempf's indication. |
02:07:12 |
She was released at 1.50 p.m. on March 11th, |
02:07:15 |
having revealed 'Lazlo's hiding place |
02:07:19 |
and signing up as informant 'Marta'. |
02:07:28 |
1.50 p.m... |
02:07:31 |
So when did she... |
02:07:33 |
After the unsuccessful house |
02:07:36 |
and 'Marta's' fatal accident, |
02:07:41 |
Operation 'Lazlo' was terminated. |
02:07:47 |

At 3.10 p.m., 'Marta' comes directly from |
