01x04 - Kalter Entzug

[bunniefuu]

VETERINARIAN
FINAL WARNING

BERLIN GAS COMPANY

They're going
to turn the gas off next, Mücke.

STAFF ENTRANCE
WOMEN

Do you know who that is? No?

So, what do you get when you work
your way up to the fine folk?

Shut up.

Stay here and don't talk
to anyone until I come back.

Oh, yes. The toilet's back there.

Mücke? Mücke.

What are you doing here?

PART 4
COLD WITHDRAWAL

There you are.

It's so boring here.

-Yes, I know. I brought you this.
-Are you very angry with me?

I'm sorry
how my mother spoke to you.

Believe me, I...

I hate her myself sometimes.

Hedi?

Hedi, don't cry.

Please don't, my love.

I'm not crying because of that.

Our father died.

I...

I'm so sorry.

I read a poem once...

Perhaps that might
give you both comfort.

Can't you just hug us?

I'll look after you both.

You can't look after us.

Fritzi...

Maybe I shouldn't
have sent Rüdiger away.

-Maybe...
-No.

No, that can't...

That can't be the solution.

I don't know what to do.

I just don't know what to do.

I can't cope anymore.

Why should I marry her?

It's you who wants her.

Because I can't marry her, dammit!

It would solve all our problems.

Hedi would finally be secure and...

-I could still be her girlfriend.
-Fritzi, leave it.

-You see?
-And me?

Have you given up on me?

You think there's no chance
of me finding happiness?

Of course. Sorry.

I...

It's so unfair.

So unbelievably unfair.

Harry does things like that.

And I can't earn money,
can't build a life, nothing.

Father, please, think it over.
Let me run KaDeWe.

I can't work with him either.

If he doesn't quit the drugs, I will
have to consider going to Tietz.

As well as Fürstenberg,
he's snapping up half Berlin.

Now's not the time
to act up like this.

Do I get a say?

No.

Would you entrust the management
of KaDeWe to this person?

NEW SCANDAL IN KADEWE!

Your mother tells me this lady's
circumstances are not stable.

These people grow up permissively.

They have
sexual experiences much younger.

-Of all kinds.
-Enviable.

For people like that
only financial security matters.

For that, they'll steal, deceive...

And, yes...
pretend to be interested in women.

-Do you give her money?
-She loves me.

After her tragic loss, the lady
isn't insisting on being with you.

She now seems to consider
this neighbor a suitable partner...

Misfortune can show
what is important to an individual.

For this lady, and ultimately,
for all of us, it's survival.

I'll give you some advice.

If you think
you really love this lady...

set her free.

You would always be unhappy.

So would the lady.

Set her free.

And free yourself of her.

Maybe Georg's right on this matter.

You're getting thinner.

But I don't know how.

What if we do it together?

Yes. Yes.

If my father could live to see me
be in a position to run KaDeWe...

Yes. Yes.

It's the only way.

Don't open it,
no matter how much we beg.

I brought some food.

Tell me about the life
we'll lead afterwards.

We live in a little house.

By a lake.

Where we shed everything
we were in the city.

No wh*re.

No Jew.

No department store heir.

Just you and me.

Georg, are you there?

Georg?

Is Georg there?

Stop it! Stop it!

Open up!

Open the damn door!

Open up! Open up!

Stop that sh*t. Stop it!

You're the addict! I'm not addicted!

I'm only doing this for you!

Hey! Don't.

Stay here.

Open this f*cking door!

Georg? Please open the door.

It's okay now.

Open the door.

Answer when I speak to you!

Open this door!

You can have it.

You can have KaDeWe. It's yours.

Come on, brother, open the door.

Why endure the pain of the world?

It's too late to become a saint,
anyway.

Can you feel the earth turning
beneath our feet?

A huge globe...

and the two of us somewhere on it.

I'll have to marry him.

No.

No, my love, you won't.

-We'll... find a solution.
-What solution?

There is no solution, Fritzi.

You've no employment, no money.
You can do nothing for Mücke and me.

-And what...
-Can we just sit in silence up here?

Just...

Just forget
what's waiting out there.

-Hello.
-A very good day to you. Thanks.

Thank you.

-Don't touch.
-No, missy, those days are over.

Your t*ts aren't
what they once were either.

We agreed on money.

Gentlemen.

Hedi?

Mücke?

-Where did you get the necklace?
-From the trash.

From what trash?

The trash in our yard.

-Here, some more.
-Just there, thanks.

Miss Jandorf.

I won't press charges
if you leave Hedi alone.

I don't know
what you're taking about.

Do you want an invitation
to the police station

or can I rely on you...

to leave Hedi alone from now on?

I don't know
what you want to report me for...

but you go ahead.

The police is full of fellow
National Socialist party members.

They have sympathy
for a poor man like me.

I understand that.

You really are poor.

First, your lack of intelligence.

And then
there's what you call your foot...

You Jewish bit--

You listen to me.

Hands off Hedi and I won't
beat you to death next time.

Good day to you.

You both heard
what the gentleman just said.

What did he say?

"Jewish b*tch."

I'd like you to come with me
to see Mr. Jandorf.

It'll help your application.

BEGGING AND PEDDLING PROHIBITED!

-What's going on here?
-I found a way we can make money.

We become landlords ourselves.

-Where is the money?
-We'll get it next week.

-Out. Get out now.
-I promise...

Out. You should be ashamed. Get out!

Close the door, doll.
You're letting the cold in.

What's going on here? Get out!

-Get off.
-Out! You filthy lowlifes.

Get out. Out! Out!

Your girlfriend...

lost me my job.

Chin up, Rüdiger.
You'll find a new job.

You think those Jews
will give me a reference? Never.

Who'll hire a bookkeeper with no
reference after 15 years in the job?

Fifteen years.

"What must he have done?"

Father.

Are you feeling better again?

Yes, thank you, Father.

MERZ-WENGER MERGER

Everyone's merging.

Everyone's afraid they're too small,
even soccer clubs.

Even Daimler with Benz.

We want to discuss this with you.
It isn't pleasant, Father.

But we need to face up to the truth.

Tietz will take us over.
Sooner or later.

We should merge with him.
And keep hold of some power.

Over my dead body.

-Our back is against the wall.
-No.

My life's work will not go to Tietz.

No, we need a clever idea.

Not just any idea.

An idea bigger than all the rest.

Better.

A KaDeWe idea.

Do you have a KaDeWe idea?

It was a terrible idea.

Colossally awful, even.

We must have been mad.

You came to me and pleaded with me,
because you had no ideas.

You should have a little faith
in your new colleague.

No other department store
has what we will soon have...

Turntable.

Camera rolling.

Go ahead.

It looks great.

-Thanks, we've got it.
-We'll reposition.

-Was I good?
-You were fantastic.

I cannot yet offer you
what a man can.

But together, we'll make progress.
I promise you.

I think Miss Elisabeth
would like to...

I have to go back up.

If he doesn't want to,
would you perhaps...?

I think that would
make him very angry.

Why? He doesn't want to, anyway.

Which doesn't mean he wouldn't
watch from up in the office.

And then be hopping mad with me.

Remove all men from the Reichstag

Remove all men from the council

Remove all men
from the House of Lords

We'll turn it
into the House of Ladies

Remove all men from existence

Remove all men from here

Remove all men from there...

Could you ladies...

Could you clear up
a disagreement between us?

Do men have to dance the way
you do to be considered attractive?

Not at all.

See, there you are, Georg.

Who is the lucky lady?

Miss Elisabeth.

-Still?
-What do you mean, still?

Georg, you're wonderful
the way you are.

Any woman would be lucky
to have someone like you.

Someone reliable, calm...

-I'm absolutely serious.
-Yes.

From the bottom of my heart.

-The next round's on me.
-Bravo!

Pull! Pull! Pull! Pull!

Pull! Pull! Pull! Pull!

Pull!

Pull!

We won't give up, Hedi!
We won't give up.

Even Rüdiger's attack
hasn't driven us apart.

Cops!

Cops! Cops! Cops! Come on.

The cops are here.

Come on, get up, get up!

-Stick together.
-Get out!

-Out! Out! Out!
-Come on, Hedi!

Go on! Go on!

Out, out, out.

Out! Out!

Stick together, stick together.

-Everyone out!
-ID, please.

Who's asking?

Stop it!

-Mr. Jandorf.
-Yes.

I apologize,
but this depraved place...

Same-sex life in Berlin
is getting out of control.

Hey, don't touch me!

We have to let Harry know!

We are just different
from the others

Who have loved
Only in lockstep with morality

Who wander inquisitively

Through a thousand wonders

And for whom there is only the banal

But we don't know
What that feeling's like

How long will they keep us, Fritzi?

Mücke must be looking everywhere
for me. She needs to be told...

Harry will get us out soon.
I promise you.

Please, please can I let
my sister know where I am?

Please. I beg you. Please!

I'm sorry, Hedi. I've brought you
nothing but unhappiness.

Without me, you'd be...

Without me and my stupid passion.

My stupid ideas.

My madness.

What madness?

The madness in my head.

It's my nature. I...

I just love you so much.

And I was hoping there was...

a real life for us.

An apartment somewhere.

With you and me
and a whole life, but...

it's impossible.

I'll stop holding on to you.

I don't want to destroy
your life anymore.

You can be happy.

-You have the gift for happiness.
-No, Fritzi.

Please don't. Please, please don't.

We never wanted
to be such rule followers.

And how could I be happy...

with a man like...

Friederike Charlotte Jandorf.

Come with me.

Fritzi.

I set you free
because I love you so much.

Promise me you'll do
everything you can to be happy.

Please stay!

Don't worry. We don't think
you're a criminal, Friederike.

You're sick. We want to help you.

Hedi?

Thank you.

Mücke came to me.

I called my contacts in the party.

I asked Wolf to delete your record.

Or did you want it to say,
"Berlin l*sbian"?

Why are you doing all this?

I owe it to your father.

And for you.

Where were you?

I was scared.

I'll stay with you now, Mücke.

Forever.

TREPTOW DISTRICT ASYLUM

Miss Jandorf.

Where would I find that?

Rüdiger...

I wanted...

To get down on your knees
and swear you'll be mine?

No. Rüdiger, please.

Then go, please.

-Does it hurt a lot?
-Yes.

But they say...

we'll have found
the right synapses soon

and burnt them.

Then it won't be inside me.

They say I should...

try to write Hedi away from me.

At some point, they say, I'll have
written everything about her.

Then it's out.

And gone.

I hope so.

But I still dream about her.

Like us.

Happy and free.

You have to answer, Hedwig.

I do.

You have both said, "I do."

You are now man and wife.

Quiet, quiet.

Is this really necessary, Hedi?

Rüdiger, please. It may take
a bit longer, but that's not so bad.

Don't be scared. Don't be scared.

Don't you want to fly?

-Fly.
-Send her home.

Sorry?

-Do you not want to go?
-Mücke's going now.

Come on. Get out the way.

Get out. Out.

Get out. Out.

So, it's time to eat.

Let's go.

Thanks. Cheers.

We'll eat together later.

You're not missing anything here.

I'll see you later, okay?

Georg?

I thought I'd just stop by.

Harry sends his wishes.
He thinks he wouldn't be welcome.

He's still angry
at being dismissed. Come.

And you can see...

He'll make a good husband, Hedi.

Because you only radiate goodness.

Mücke, it's late.

Time to go to bed.

I've wanted you all my life.

Will you be able to desire me
like that too, one day?

Love me like...

I want to lay the world
at your feet.

You don't need to.

You and Mücke are all I need.

You... You need to give me time.

It will happen of its own accord.

Tell me...

my job at KaDeWe...

I'm keen to keep working.

People will think
I can't provide for you.

I thought about that too.

I'd tell everyone
you have so much love for me that...

that that's why you let me.

-I let you because I love you...
-Yes.

Because you love me
you let me continue working.

Now that I'm practically
glamorous...

and the face of KaDeWe...

it'd be a shame, wouldn't it?

Okay, then.
But only until you get pregnant.

THE OLDER KADEWE GETS,
THE YOUNGER IT BECOMES

I don't believe it.

We must be able to find a supplier.

They can choose
their own delivery terms now.

We're simply too small
to be able to push down the prices.

The era of the medium-sized company
seems to be over.

Karstadt has bought
Schocken and Emden now too.

This is serious.

We need to merge, too.

By the end of the month,
the papers will be saying

that KaDeWe has no major suppliers.

That would mean
we'd be unable to trade.

With your back to the wall
it's hard to negotiate.

We still have our reputation.

We're at the bottom,
but the only way is up.

No, Harry.
I no longer have the strength.

What are you saying, Mr. Jandorf?

It's time to sell up.

May I?

It's your house.

How...

How's your love life?

Is there anyone at your side?

A woman you can trust?

Yes, there is.

Good.

That's good.

Don't let her go.

What is it, Father?

Stomach cancer.

No.

Father, no.

And I've let KaDeWe die too.

We missed the boat.

-Didn't notice times were changing.
-With respect...

Nobody feels about KaDeWe like I do.
So many years of hard graft.

So many meetings.

So much shouting.

So many evenings without you all.
Now it's gone.

-I'll...
-You won't save it.

You are not a businessman.
Live, Harry.

But see to it that Friederike
and your mother are okay.

-They need you.
-I may not be like you.

But I will lead KaDeWe
into the next generation

and make sure
it stays Berlin's finest house.

What do we know
about the next generation?

Or about what will happen to Berlin?

Thousands of people work for us.

It's about them now.

We need to act. And act shrewdly.

Talk to Tietz.

KaDeWe will be
in good hands with him.

With Tietz? Tietz after all?

-Things have been bad so often...
-I'm serious.

The clock is ticking.

Mama and Friederike
mustn't hear about this, please.

A store without major supplier. When
Tietz finds out, he'll pay pennies.

And that's your life's work?

That?

Never.

I am Friederike Charlotte Jandorf.

Friederike Charlotte Jandorf...

I don't love Hedi.

I don't love Hedi.

I love Hedi...

I don't love her.

I don't love Hedi.

I don't. I don't.

I don't love Hedi. I don't.

Not anymore.

I love Hedi.

And all the gods sit down

And look at them naked

This is no show

Because she cannot lie

Look at her

All for you

Seeing that...

I thought you weren't coming back.

No, no. I...

I just have to...

Can I expect you... later?

Yes. Definitely.

I have to...

Hey, Tietz.

Do you think today
could be your lucky day?

Every day is my lucky day.

Excuse me, could I sit down?

You are an exceptional businessman.

Probably one of the best
in the world.

Your talent is all the more evident
given your stores are only average.

And stock goods
for average customers.

Hats off to you. Getting that rich
from potato mashers!

Father wants to slowly retire.

I have neither his qualities
as a businessman, nor yours.

And to be honest,
I'm not really interested.

Because she can't lie...

That's why I want
to make you a unique offer.

Look at her...

KaDeWe. It's for sale.

-Things that bad?
-Not at all. On the contrary.

But if there's one thing
I've learned,

it's that you sell
when the goods are most in demand.

You are not
the only interested party.

But you're the one I know best.

Why don't you drop by?

I'll be expecting your call. Ladies.

Oh, sh*t.

I can't... I can't.

-See you later.
-See you later.
