Speed up, ladies at the back.

Are you stupid?
Yes, I mean you!

It's always the same with you. I
told you not to make it so full.

Can you hear me?

Stop it now.

- Get back.
- Yes, it's good.

Fill the cart again.

It goes faster that way!

It's full. Ready to go.

Come on! Depart!

No sleeping at the back!

Everyone back to work!

Comrade Kulanin, you still
drive like a barbarian.

I am a barbarian.

- Thank you.
- You would've done the same.

For each of us.

The hut is not forever. We're looking
for a hideout for you in the city.

You have to get
something for me, Oscar.

- What?
- A w*apon.

Any specific w*apon?

A hunting r*fle,
minimum 6.5 caliber.

- Do you want to sh**t deer?
- Something like that.

What?

Enough!

Come on, Kneipper. One more.

It's over, boy.

Last round, guys!

I've got it in the bag.

Today's my lucky day.

The very last, got it?

To the widows!

- I have to pee.
- Then do it.

I have to go my folks.

Is that all we get?

What a load of sh*t.

What's that?

Crap.

There wasn't anything.

We have to go.

Put something else on.

Shall we meet here at 7 o'clock?

- Here?
- It's easiest.

Please ask Rudi why
he hasn't come back.

I will.

Alright, boy.

I hope it's clear to you that we
have to take you into custody.

You say you acted
in self-defence.

What about the statement
by your comrade?

Arndt Scheer wanted to
pin the deed on the girl.

Is that so?

Yes.

Did you plan the false
statement together?

- No.
- I'm taking this boy on.

- That will have consequences for him.
- You will not do that.

You are biased in this case.

Follow that up.

Discharge.

Come, my boy.

Rath?

- Thank you, not for me.
- Böhm?

Why not?

Gentlemen.

If it does turn out
that Sergeant Naumann

wanted to execute a witness,

that would be a
veritable scandal.

According to these document

at least 21 homeless teenagers

during, or immediately
after their arrest.

12 further cases were,
according to the files,

retrospectively
classified as accidents.

In every case

Section 14 was present.

We all know there's a lot
of trash in that section.

It should still be the same to them
whether a m*rder victim is rich or poor.

Who's been identified by name?

At the moment: Naumann,
Lanke, Hagedorn, Kuschke.

But we should investigate
the whole of Section 14.

We can't let anything be
swept under the carpet.

Otherwise the trust of the people
in our institution will finish.

You say that, of all
people? An SA man?

My political beliefs have
nothing to do with this.

Constable Kuschke is
also a member of the SA,

but I would like apply,
specifically, to arrest him.

Same as Hagedorn and Lanke.

You may be right.

For such need an operation,
even I need approval.

The Chief of Police
will not be pleased.

What put you on this track?

A note from Rudolf Malzig,
the assistant to Dr. Schwarz.

Actually he wanted to give me
his personal records last night.

- And?
- He didn't show up.

- Officer Lanke?
- Yes, here.

What do you want?

Contradictions
have come to light

between your statements and
evidence in the investigation

into the m*rder at
Tietz department store.

- m*rder? That was an accident.
- I must ask you to come with us.

Am I under arrest or what?

You are now on leave,

including accommodation in a
single room at state expense.

Your badge, please.

Yes, I'm coming!

- Sit down.
- Aren't you listening? Sit down.

Thank you, colleagues.

So, Mr. Kuschke, you
know why you're here?

He said I should
run after him...

And then he told us what to do.

I tried to get between them.

- Don't you know anything?
- Should I?

Yes, I think so.

Then we stepped
back. We said no.

Good day.

Where is your
colleague, Mr. Malzig?

Why do you ask? Maybe Malzig's
getting something to eat.

- Where is he?
- He is conspicuous by his absence.

- Has that often happened before?
- Well, every now and then.

Young people like to dance,
sometimes whole nights through.

- Let me know as soon as he turns up.
- Of course.

Inspector...

- Take this to Gennat.
- What is it?

This morning a man
was found dead.

A homeless man.

From the rag market.

- I'll take it to him.
- Thank you.

Rietsche, Roswitha. Judge...

Dr. F Voss.

Judge... Dr. F. Voss.

Dr F. Voss.

Excuse me, but it won't
be that easy any more.

What's happened?

The beginning of the end
of the German rule of law.

And I was there.

Good. What brought you to me?

I've been looking into a death.

Well, several deaths
of homeless teenagers.

How may I be of service to you?

One thing stood out to me:

They were all at some point
up before the same judge.

Voss.

Yes.

How did you know?

Dr Ferdinand Voss.

A merciless, pitiless magistrate,
to whom no verdict can be too hard.

Always punitive, only punitive.

Never forgiving.
Never questioning.

Famous, I should say,
notorious for his quirk,

passing judgment in under
2 minutes 30 seconds.

The Corps Students often
come to his cases...

to applaud him.

As far as I know, a couple iof years
ago he was put on punishment duty,

and sent to the
guardianship court.

- Where?
- Tiergarten.

His judgments are
public, I expect.

Anyway...

Now, regarding work.

There's always something
to do at the Roten Hilfe.

It's true that it's voluntary,
but we'll think of something.

Thank you.

- Let me out!
- Bad news, Mrs. Nyssen.

Your husband doesn't
want to cooperate.

My husband would do anything
to save me, if he were able to.

Helga, yes?

If you know anything that
he doesn't know, tell me.

Now.

- You have the wrong person.
- Oh yes?

If anyone knows where the
stone is, then it's her.

She's the only one with access to
the house and she knows everything

about the vaults and accounts.

Who is "she"?

His mother.

OK.

- Thank you.
- The ladder.

Stop!! Let me out of here!

Let me out of here!

Good morning!

- Good morning!
- What's up?

Can you tell me where
I can find Judge Voss?

- Who's asking?
- Please?

- Name?
- Ritter.

Ritter Bald-Butt.

I can still make you
look at me, then.

The honourable Judge Voss
is in session in room two.

But it's full today.
You can't go in.

What else?

Would you please have the
infinite kindness to tell me where

Judge Voss' office is, then
maybe I could do my job...

Key to Thirteen.

Can you take me
with you to room 2?

Gladly.

The lady is with me.

- But...
- Thank you.

Are you also an
admirer of Judge Voss?

- Pardon?
- You will be.

So far, the facts.

I now ask the expert,
Deputy Helfer,

for her final assessment.

Mrs. Helfer heads the department
for youth and social welfare.

Willie is 11 years old. He
lost his parents at age 5.

Since then he's been living with
other youngsters on the street.

His offences are
comparatively harmless...

Fraud, theft, going
on for years...

- You call that harmless?
- Born out of necessity.

It was only to put
food in his mouth.

By that you mean
the criminal offence

370 Section 1 No. 5
of the Criminal Code.

I plead for accommodation on
the island of Scharfenberg.

There the boy has the greatest
hope of successful reintegration.

But who says we want to reintegrate
these misguided teenagers?

I must point out that this
is the Guardianship Court,

and not the party congress
of the Social Democrats.

Mr. Chairman.

What this youngster now needs
is a roof above the head

a meal on the table, and a
healthy dose of looking after.

Then, with an awake
and stimulated spirit,

he will grow in the
right direction.

A farmer doesn't build a castle,
a thief, no cloud cuckoo land.

This boy needs to learn control and
order. Cleanliness and discipline.

Therefore court therefore
arranges transfer

to the children's detention
centre "Sonnenborn".

Legal guardianship
remains with the court.

- Case closed.
- 2 minutes 6!

2, unbelievable.

- It's a new record, right?
- Unbelievable.

Well then, come with me, boy.

- Honourable Member?
- Miss...

- Ritter.
- Yes.

I didn't know you weren't
working at the prison any more.

No, I found a new job. What
brings you here? Are you on duty?

Yes.

I... had a few questions
for Judge Voss.

Such fun. What's it about?

An alleged m*rder in connection
with the department store g*ng.

I had hoped to view
recent court judgments.

I'm sorry, I'm not
authorised. But...

Wait a minute, Mr. Chairman.

May I introduce you to someone?

Detective Inspector
Ritter, from Homicide.

What are you doing here?

For my investigations in
connection with a m*rder case

I need to view court judgments
from the last few months...

In which you were involved.

Excuse me.

Why exactly is a homicide
detective interested in this case?

We're checking a
connection to our case.

Unfortunately I am not
authorised to share.

If you would please send
me the case files...

Regrettably, I don't
have time for that.

Regrettably... Kriminalrat Gennat
is expecting the report today.

- You work for Kriminalrat Gennat?
- Yes.

Shall I tell him you
refused to cooperate,

and that you would love to
receive a call from him?

Eulenhofer. Come here

Take care of this lady's requests.
She wants access to files.

15 minutes. No longer.

Good. Come with me.

You don't know Voss,
it's your lucky day.

- Ice stock, Professor?
- Yes.

I'm just going to get changed.

Good, let's go.

These are judgments against
youthful delinquents

and orphans during the
last four quarters.

Thank you.

15 minutes.

20?

- 25.
- Deal.

- How'd it go?
- Here.

Sergeant Naumann b*at the boy "until
the blood ran out of his head."

We told Naumann to
stop, of course, but...

We told him to stop.
"I told him to stop."

Blood ran out of the boy's head.

- So strongly had the sergeant...
- So strongly had the sergeant...

hit the boy.

- We told him he should stop.
- But he just kept on going...

- We've all read it.
- And heard it.

- They all agreed to it.
- Definitely looks like it.

Blame it on the dead. Old scam.

- All that?!
- Yes.

How long will be
able to hold them?

- One or two days.
- That can't be true.

We all know these are lies.

We have laws, Mr. Rath,
and we must adhere to them.

Beppo Schmitz...

Albertine Ahlrichs...
Both d*ed...

at...

Kroll, Theodore.

Just finished.

Thank you!

Have a nice day.

Social services!

It's about Willi, your cousin.

Open the door!

Open up. Otherwise we'll
have to break the door down.

Toni, I'm going not into a home.

Please.

Put down the Kn*fe.

- We are here to help you.
- I don't want to go with you!

- Nobody does.
- Put down the Kn*fe.

Stay there.

- I won't go!
- Stop it now.

Who's that?

Go.

Mother.

She passed away a few days ago.

I still don't want
to leave the house.

OK...

- Hoffmann, call an undertaker!
- Yes.

- Hedwig?
- Come with us.

And please take down
their personal details.

Well then, girls, firstly
tell me your names.

Ernestine Kraus.

- And you?
- Renate.

More?

Knapsack.

Comrade Völcker?

May I introduce Malu Seegers.

She arranged the cabin and
is taking over the guard.

The Chief of the Army
Command is your father?

Yes, I'm afraid so.

I'd put my head on
the line for her.

I brought food.

You can rely on Comrade Seeger.

It's an honour, Comrade Völcker.

I want to fight for our cause,
if necessary, to the death!

That will probably not be
necessary, but thank you.

Sit down, let's talk.

You know a Councilor Wendt.

Answer truthfully.

At the behest of Comrade Kulanin
I've been seeing him for a year.

- Privately?
- Yes, comrade.

You... you are servicing him?

Yes, Comrade Völcker.

You will soon be freed from him.

It will be over soon.

Wendt will die.

And we need you.

You will bring
him to this cabin.

He will here stay overnight,

and leave the next day,

and then will it happen.

- Regierungsrat.
- Kriminalrat.

I have something that is more in
the realm of the political police

than in a m*rder investigation.

Some found photo
negatives by a dead body.

The pictures appear
to be top secret files

from the Command Staff of
the Ministry of Armaments.

- What?
- A chance find.

Before we were only aware of the dead
man as a fence and petty criminal.

And now as a spy?

Your department, Regierungsrat.

Mrs. Nyssen?

Mrs. Nyssen?

Mr. Nyssen!

Mr. Nyssen, your mother!

She stood me up.

I know. I can't
find her anywhere.

In her room her flute is on
the floor and I found this.

- I'm afraid...
- What?

What?

I'm afraid that you
will also be kidnapped.

- What can you do?
- Yodelling.

Yodelling?

- Next. What can you do?
- Walk on my hands.

- Then show me.
- Right here and now?

Yes, right here.

Looks good. Are you doing...

The Moka Efti has always been
ahead of the times, and now,

with the "cabaret
of the nameless,"

we'll put the people
themselves on the stage.

Everyone gets a chance,
even if it's in vain.

In other words: a folk club.
No revue acts? No stars?

When times improve, we'll
put on revues again.

But right now people are short.

On cash.

And we need to keep the
business going, And...

The joint is sold out.

And?

- The press are still inside.
- Esther knows nothing?

The orders were, surprise,
and I've stuck to them.

Good.

Adn we've got this
one in the bag, right?

Whatever.

- What's he up to?
- He didn't say.

Excellent prizes
await the winners.

Write it like this:

Esther Korda at in the Moka Efti

opened "The Cabaret
Of The Nameless."

Opportunities for
advancement for everyone!

Entry 1,50.

One drink on the house.

And, as usual:

hairdressers and taxi drivers get
the first week's admission free.

And now please excuse me.

- Ladies, gentlemen.
- A photo for the Tempo, please?

Caballeros. Danke.

Thank you, thank
you. Out, please!

What are you doing here?

Are you applying?

Nope. Burying the hatchet.

I thought it was
maybe about time

the two of us had a nice
evening together again.

With the gorilla there
always by our side?

- No, thank you, I don't think so.
- No.

I'll give him the night off.

Diego.

Yes, señor.

Terraces at Wannsee,
Pavilion is booked.

The whole thing?

With all the trimmings.
Just the two of us.

And?

Shall we?

And?

Don Cabron is making
eyes at his Dulcinea.

Are you taking me with you?
Even in these everyday rags?

You? Always.

- You're always such a beautiful woman.
- Thank you, sir.

- I'll drive myself.
- No, no, no. Por favor, señor.

Señora. Please wait
here. I'll get it.

Yes, that's what he's like.

The policemen have
all been arrested now.

Are you being treated well?

A cop k*ller?

I have made initial
inquiries about this man.

I'm sure we'll find something
find that backs up your statement.

Does he have a family?

Yes, he does.

Children?

It won't stay like this.

Some day it will be gone.

It simply disappears.

I'm doing everything I can to get
you out as as soon as possible.

Promise me you'll find the girl.

Her name is Toni.

Charlotte.

Glad you're here.

I took a beer.

How was it?

Did he make a statement?

- And where is he now?
- Remand.

- It's hard on him.
- He saved my sister's life.

And you?

Where were you today?

Firstly at the Rote Hilfe.

Oh, yes?

Litten knew about the judge.

Which judge?
