00:00:38 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 shoes I buy a year: 2.3.

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.
01:31:28 "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.

01:58:07 The Wall has come down!
01:58:13 Yes, the Wall has come down!
01:58:20 The border guards have opened the gates.
01:58:25 People are streaming out in thousands!
01:58:29 Dear listeners, November 9th, 1989,
01:58:32 will go down in history!

01:59:06 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

02:04:17 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.

02:06:14 HGW XX-7...
02:06:29 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 Note: HGW's promotion ban
02:07:52 Transfer to Dept. M,
02:07:54 with the recommendation not to entrust him
02:08:00 10:50 a.m.: Resume surveillance
02:08:08 At 3.10 p.m., 'Marta' comes directly from
02:08:13 House search and report to follow.
02:08:17 End of Operation 'Lazlo'. HGW, 3.15 p.m.
