TOP SECRET!

We can go right away.

What are you doing?

I don't need a film.
Give me the original.

We need it to get Katelbach
and Heymann out of prison.

What's two political inmates
against millions of w*r victims?

I photographed it for you.

Headquarters suspects that
all photographs are fakes.

You know that.

Same goes for the courts here.

Please give it to me.

No.

I don't want to hurt you.

So...

I'm sorry.

No. Not in there!

Leave me alone!

HOUSE SONNENBORN BLOCK 3

Get out. In there. Be quiet.

No!

Stay still now!

Don't make such a fuss.

- Shut up!
- Quiet!

No!

Dr. Schwarz?

You?

What are you doing here?

- What's going on?
- Open the door.

- Let me out.
- How am I supposed to do that?

What happened to Rudi?

I... I didn't want that.

- Malzig was a good man.
- What are you talking about?

Talk to me!

- Talk to me! You falsified documents.
- No.

You did! And Rudi knew about it.

- Why? Why did you do that?
- Because they threatened me.

What do they have on you?

An error.

Malpractice.

I was asked to write a
report for the court.

For Judge Voss.

And I made a mistake...

and that's how it started.

Voss...

He's the worst of all.

A monster.

Now he's holding
court up there...

and plays God.

Who are these people?

What are you doing? No! No!

What are you doing with me now?

Please...

No!

- Let me go!
- Shut your face!

SERVING THE TRUE
LAW OF THE GERMANS

TO THE YARD

Now or never.

Tell me if you see a crank.

You can drive?

I'll keep watch.

Defendant, you have indecently
assaulted a German woman.

You have manhandled and
abused her to death.

This is correct, yes?

Yes?

I was finally convicted. Yes.

You call that justice.

Seven ridiculous
years in prison.

And on top of that, you were
released after four years.

For good conduct.

- This is a charade.
- I beg you, Your Honor.

- Have mercy.
- Mercy...

Mercy?

Now he's standing here
whimpering for mercy.

So we'll have mercy...

with this brutish subject.

In the name of the White Hand

I will now issue the
revised judgement.

The defendant
Heinrich Schüttler,

for r*pe and
malevolent intention

is sentenced to death.

The sentence is to be
enforced immediately.

In the name of
the German people.

- Justice follows on injustice.
- Justice follows on injustice.

- Order follows on barbarism.
- Order follows on barbarism.

Strength follows on weakness.

Strength follows on weakness.

Executioner,
discharge your duty.

I was finally sentenced.
I served my sentence!

Please. Please! I beg
for mercy! Please!

Here, I've got one.

So far I know it.

Right. And now...

There!

- Operator, which number?
- Connect me to Rath, Weissensee 4905.

- Please repeat.
- Weissensee 4905.

Answer. Answer the phone!

Stop. Freeze!

Open up! Open this
door right now!

I am warning you. The police is
in the house, and I'll call them

if you don't open this
door right this instance.

What are you doing here?

I'm asking you that.

Toni babe.

We wanted to scarper.

What?

With an automobile.

Renate can drive.

We're just waiting for
the driver to get lost.

Now. Quick!

Wait.

You two call Detective Sergeant
Rath. Weissensee 49-05.

Memorize it. 49-05. OK?

Call him and tell him
I'm here. He knows.

Off you go.

I'll stay with her.

Sure?

Fine.

Come on then.

Freeze! Freeze!

Now I've got you,
bitch. I'll k*ll you.

I'll k*ll you.

I'll slice you up.

The g*ns. The g*ns!

Come!

- Operator, which number?
- Weissensee 49-05.

- Hello?
- Mr. Rath?

Who is this?

Schwarz, Joseph.

Doctor of medicine.

You are accused of having
betrayed the White Hand.

You schemed against our
goals by word and deed

and therefore threatened
the entire operation.

And now you stand here before us

and pretend you haven't
got a clue about anything.

Come, let me show
you your lookout.

Get down!

Here, but stay down.

Follow me!

Don't have the nerves.

A German organization
like ours...

You are a classic example
of the spinelessness

which we so often talk about...

and for which from our point of
view there is no sympathy, no...

Nobody move!

Get away from the door!
Away from the door!

Sit down!

I have two of these.
Two times eight b*ll*ts.

I'll get 16 of you.
We will wait here now.

All of us.

I want absolute quiet in the
room until the police are here.

And they're on their way.

- Miss, this is deprivation of liberty...
- Shut up or I'll sh**t!

- But...
- Shut your face! Shut up!

Quiet!

- Sit down.
- Get away from the door!

Get away!

Open up!

Get away from the door!

Make room. Make room!

Police. Hands up!

Arrest them all!

Take them away! Every
single one of them!

Come in.

Mrs. Behnke, come on in.

I'm afraid they struck hard.

Who?

I don't know.

But I can't really complain
about a lack of enemies.

Where's Miss Seegers?

Except for this, there
is no trace of her.

She didn't turn up for work
and didn't excuse herself.

My calls are unanswered, and our
friends don't know where she is.

In three and a half years of working
with her, this has never happened.

Have you called the police?

Should be difficult before
we talk to the comrade.

- Because there is nothing missing.
- But she is missing.

Yes. And with her the only thing

which has come into the possession
of our office illegally.

- Gregorius' papers.
- Yes.

And I can't report it without
getting prosecuted myself.

- I have searched everywhere.
- But the deadline is in a few hours.

First thing I did was apply for an
extension in order to gather evidence.

And?

The court is obliged to
examine my application.

We'll know more tomorrow
afternoon at the latest.

- But it's going to be difficult.
- Why?

Apart from the obvious
partisanship of the judge,

such things are only
very rarely granted.

We need to file a
missing person report.

Right away.

The only question is if Miss
Seegers really is missing or...

gone into hiding.

Taking the documents with her.

No way.

Comrade Kulanin should have taken the
one-o'clock train before you, correct?

Yes.

When is the last train?

He won't come.

He will, he keeps his word.

He won't come and he didn't
procure a g*n, either.

I think something
must have happened

and the comrade has
no room to maneuver.

Lieutenant Kulani is your and my superior
and therefore not accountable to us.

What if he has betrayed us?

I won't doubt the directives from
Moscow. Please don't misunderstand me.

But I've known Oskar for a long time
and I've never seen him like yesterday.

Let's focus on the operation.

If he doesn't show, are
there g*ns in the cabinet?

Fine. So we have
everything we need.

If the g*n is from this cabin,

the investigators will
put one and one together.

The fascist pig must be
ex*cuted. With or without order.

So, open the cabinet.

Now.

There is no turning
back, comrade.

I'm counting on you.

Right.

You have one attempt,
one single one.

Or all this will collapse again.

You need to be quick.

Quick as a greyhound.

Well done, Helga.

Well done by both of us.

Let the ladder down.

What is it?

Let the ladder down.

Helga! Let the ladder
down! Right now!

Helga!

Helga, let the ladder down!

Open the hatch!

Helga! Come back!

MOKA EFTI PRESENTS CLOSED

- What is this?
- You can't get in, you're banned.

Sorry, the boss said so.

Out of the way, you squirt.

What are you doing here?

Gentlemen.

What am I doing here?
Closing the joint.

What? You're doing no such thing.
I'll tidy up in there, don't worry.

Forget it. The joint is
history. For you, too.

What are you talking about?

Who were they?

The new owners.

- What?
- The joint is sold.

You can't, it's mine.

Esther, you haven't paid your
installments in eight months.

And as a creditor, I've
exerted my right to foreclose.

That's all.

You dare taking the
joint away from me?

After everything
I've done for you?

Can you please walk
the lady to her car?

Take your paws off me.

BRAWL AT MOKA EFTI
BETWEEN SU AND SS

After this roughhouse we must
disempower the SA. Immediately.

Stennes and his confidantes
are a thr*at to public safety.

He has got the SA behind him
again. We need to set an example.

Do we? I've always had the impression
you rather enjoy chaos in the streets.

This is your chance to get rid
of the SA once and for all.

Why won't you seize it?

Because I'm not the
executioner of your plans.

You can settle your private feud with
this guy Stennes amongst yourselves,

but not on the back
of the Berlin police.

You're going deerstalking on
the weekend. Good hunting!

Councillor.

Here is good.

You will bring
him here tomorrow.

Understood?

I have to get back.
Wendt will be here soon.

I'll find out about Kulani.

He can't disappear without
us knowing where he is.

Helga.

Helga.

- Where is she?
- She's gone.

She left me down
here, the bitch.

Don't go. Please! You were
fooled by a lie. Mr. Goldstein!

Your father's diamond
never reached Berlin.

How do you know this name?

The Blue Rothschild, or that which
you take for it, I have had forged.

The original was lost.

Odessa, MS Silésia.

You want the truth about
your father's death.

And the truth about
the Blue Rothschild.

Who says this isn't a trap?

That the other one
won't come back?

- Why should I believe you?
- Because the ladder was still up there.

She abandoned me down here, the
floozy. I'm telling the truth.

And the truth about the night...

of the 18th of March, 1915.

What do you know about it?

I'll tell you,
and you let me go.

OK.

But I'm warning you.
If you lie to me,

you won't get out of here alive.

I won't lie to you.

Your father

had entrusted my
husband with the stone.

He was supposed to take it to
Berlin in his diplomat's luggage.

To your Jewish church.

That evening, we had had dinner
on land, in the Hotel Europa.

My husband was very jolly.

Get to the point.

I stopped at the promenade,

probably with lots of
members of your family, too.

Keep going.

And after about 15 minutes...

there was a huge expl*si*n.

And then the att*ck of the British.
The torpedo was a straight hit.

Mrs. Nyssen.

I read up on this.

There was no att*ck by
the British that day.

There wasn't a single act of w*r
in the Odessa harbor that day.

But I... I was there.

I saw it with my own eyes.

No.

You are lying.

I...

This is from my father.

Parasite!

Bloodsucker!

The eternal Jew!

I'll see you in hell.

Helga!

Helga.

You're back.

That's all you can think
of? While I nearly croaked?

Helga...

Please forgive me.

There was no way,
I tried everything.

Where have you been?

We were trapped on a barge.

I escaped.

What?

And Mother?

She's still there.

What?

Where is this barge?

I don't know.

Helga, where is this barge?

I don't know if I'd
find the way back there.

There was a forest.

And fields.

And... I walked for hours.

- We need to go there at once.
- Through the rain.

Helga.

Helga!

When you left... we
took the statements.

And they all...

The janitor, the staff, the youths,
they all spoke of a yard of the dead.

Or a wall of the dead.

An abandoned building.
Right behind the home.

So we started looking.

According to first estimates, there
are more than 150 dead people there.

Who are these men who
would do such a thing?

There are arrests being
made all over the Reich.

The organization around
Voss is called White Hand.

Most of them are state officials.
Judges, public prosecutors.

- Police officers, too.
- The White Hand...

- What do they want?
- A new law?

I don't know.

Discipline, order.

Our system is too lax for them.

So they took it into
their own hands.

For the children, the home
was their last chance.

If they escaped anyway, they
would have forfeited their lives.

And they're not
ashamed of themselves?

The way they were
sitting there...

And they were so
sure of themselves.

They are murderers. And they
will be brought to trial.

Thanks to you and
your commitment.

Gereon.

I sh*t at them.

I have never sh*t at anyone.

- You didn't k*ll anyone.
- Yes, I did.

Kuschke.

They say one of them is
still in critical condition.

His name is Brinkmann. He has
a wife and three children.

He att*cked you.

If you hadn't sh*t
him, you'd be dead now.

And that g*ng would
be running free.

It's open.

- Good evening.
- Evening.

Don't we want to do
everything differently?

Everything differently.

Everything differently?

We could leave.

- Could we?
- Away from here.

Politics, all of it.

Here and now, in this moment...

there is nothing between us.

No politics, no age,
no general, nothing.

There is only us.

The two of us.

I want to go away with you.

The two of us.

I forgot the "I"

And only know "we"

With the lover I became two And
above all being grew the "we".
