"I want to see you again." "We can't." "Suspecting a planned escape from the republic?" "Maybe." "Are you planing to escape?" "Your son is seeing a 'republic escapee'?" "You have lost her!" "What are you doing?" "Open the trunk!" "Where is Julia Hausmann?" "Where?" "The lost daughter" " So, where are the two love birds?" " Robert Scnyder is in there." " And Julia Hausmann?" " She wasn't in the car." " I'm sorry..." " You can't be serious!" "The American picked her up with the car at 21.25" "Wittstock and Täuber were following them!" "Isn't that right, Geifel?" "They disappeared on Greifswalder Strasse." "Fuck!" "God evening Mr Schnyder." "Is it pronounced Schnyder or Schneider?" "Schnyder" "Schnyder, I have a simple question:" "Why did Julia Hausmann change her mind?" "Yes, we are doing our job." "But why did miss Hausmann jump off 'The Paradise Express'?" "I don't understand anything." "But you do have a hiding place in your car, don't you?" "It is only a hiding place if someone is hiding in it, isn't it?" "We have all the time in the world." "I'm an American citizen!" "A few weeks in jail and I'm sure you will start to remember things." "Take him away!" "You cannot do this!" "You have no reason to keep me!" "You are a suspect of helping a refugee escape." "Mrs Hausmann!" "Is Julia here?" "It's the middle of the night." "It's an emergency!" "Julia Hausmann?" "Please come with us." "Can't it wait?" "I'm very tired." "Let me put my shoes on!" "Don't cause a scene." "Julia?" "Julia!" "Yes, it's regarding a paternity test." "I have the following information:" "The mother's blood group O negative, the daughter's AB negative." " the potential father A negative." "Yes, I need a written certificate." "Good morning, son!" "25 states has said no!" "USA and of course West Germany, because of Afghanistan." "You have arrested Julia Hausmann!" "A cleaver campaign by President Carter." "You have to help her!" "I know how you're feeling." "I'm not judging you, but you can't let your feelings fool you." "It won't work!" "You have no future together!" "No, not if you frame Julia!" "Oh, sorry, I didn't know you were conspiring this early in the morning." "Fried eggs?" "Should I fry some eggs?" "Drink some coffee at least!" "Legs together, hands on your knees" "Good morning." "This will be interesting." "Make yourself comfortable, miss Hausmann." "My name is Schmidt, the crime detective." "I usually don't handle interrogations..." "What an honour for me." "You'll have to excuse me if I make some mistakes." "Your mothers sings." "Perhaps you also 'sing'?" "Why?" "Sorry, it was a bad joke." " I have to get to work." " You have the day off." "I want to talk to you about your planned escape from the republic." "This is absurd." "Robert Schnyder has told us the whole story." "I don't believe you." "You wanted to be transferred to the West." "Good morning, comrade Kupfer." "Interrogation with Julia Hausmann." "It's over." "Why?" "I don't love him." "I could never run away with him." "That's..." "That's actually the best excuse I ever heard." "I would love to tell it at our christmas party if I may." "Why don't we stick to the truth?" "Why?" "You don't give a damn about the truth." "You can't even handle it." "What's up?" " Do you have to disturb me dad?" " Release Hausmann!" "The accusations are not strong enough." "But we have information about the preparation." "Look!" "The car was all set up." "Maybe she didn't want to escape at all?" "Schnyder had a flight ticket in Julia Hausmann's name!" "Perhaps he was just hoping she would go with him." "He tried to convince here." "She said no, and she was not in the car." "Hausmann's daughter a true socialist?" "Dad, I can put her in jail for 5 years!" "We don't have enough evidence for the court." "Give me time." "I will get her to confess." "Dunja Hausmann is going on tour." "It's sold out." "Her daughter cannot be in jail, not on these weak evidences." "Dunja Hausmann will use it on stage." "Sure, and the tour can be cancelled 'due to illness'." "So what's the problem?" "You have still not understood the differences between what we must do and what we are allowed to do." "We should keep an eye on our country's inside and outside enemy- but we should not create new ones!" "Julia Hausmann can go home." "When it comes to these bloody artist you're like..." "That was an order, major!" "Sure." "He will get his evidence." "I will question the American until he admits that she wanted to escape." "And then we will get Julia Hausmann." "Are you going back to the headquarters?" "No, I'm picking up Vera." "Can't the local colleagues deal with that?" "Of course, comrade Hauptmann." "We would love to take it." "We will go over there." "Over and out." "We have a mission at Müggelsee." "Some lunatics." " Hey, your little sister..." " Nicole?" "Is she still working in the jail?" "Can I have her address?" "Are you asking her out?" "I'm not sure you're such a great company." "This is the official program." "I'm gonna sing some individual songs too." "I'm sorry, of course I mean "region-adjusted"" "For the encore:" "Brecht, Piaf, Brel It depends on the crowd." "And her is my assurance that I will not sing "A speech to the officials"." "It's always a creative blessing to work with you guys." "Good bye." " Julia, dear!" "I thought you got arrested." " Hi, mom." "I was so worried, my dear." "Don't be so worried." "I was with Moni." " Why didn't you tell me something?" " Mom!" "Julia, this is your home country!" "If you have a hard time with something, just speak up." "Do something!" "You can't just run away!" "Please, can we talk about this later?" "I didn't teach you to be a coward, did I?" "So tell me what I've done wrong." "Mom, I'm still here." "It was a day in May... when the laundry was hanging to dry" "It was a day in May" "the day when you were lost" "Hey, Martin, what do you want with Nicole?" "It's not what you think." "It's so dirty here." "Look at the savages!" "Roman, come!" "Hurry up, we will be late." "I.." "I don't want to come." "What?" "Do you want to disappoint your mother?" "Come!" "Does it mean she will never drink wine again?" "Listen." "We are picking up mom at a treatment clinic in Magdeburg." "She has been treated for a stomach problem." "Now she is well again." "She always look so strange when we go to see her." "Then you can ask her yourself if she has been drinking, ok?" "ID, please!" "Did you make this fire?" "Please put it out." "Mr Menger, Ulrich." "Come on now!" "This is how you do it." "Good day." "Inspector Kupfer." "ID, please." " It's forbidden to light fires here, miss...?" " Little Pony." "You could be charged for 'carelessness endangering of the public'." "Don't be so boring." "We are not disturbing anyone." " Park visitors have made complaints about you." " Inspector Kupfer, can you come with me?" "What should we do with all these red-skins?" "We can't fit them all in the car anyway." "Let's give them fines then!" "Paragraf 4." "Have you calculated it?" "It would be at least 200 mark!" "Only imperialists would attack a friendly Indian tribe." "What should we tell the boss?" "A complaint has already been made." "What do we write in the report?" "We don't write any report." "So what have we been doing all day?" "'People care'." "You are all free to go!" "Martin!" "Up here!" "You can't leave anything behind." "Did you put out the fire?" "What kind of pipe is this?" "What's in it?" "They let me go." "I can see that." "You boss is nice." "He told me where I could find you." "I can't believe they let me go that quickly." "I bet Robert is still there." " They cannot hold an American." " Can you find out how he's doing?" "Yes.." "I will try." "You were right:" "I don't love him." "But he is my friend..." "We were on our way, but it felt wrong." "I yelled "Stop!", and he let me out." "I think he was shocked that I didn't want to come with him." "We didn't even say good-bye." "I was worried about you." " So, am I safe now?" " No." "You're a big boy now." "You can handle it." "Hey Roman, look at me!" "Mom..." " Everything is fine now." " Hi, mom." "Im fine, everything will be fine." "I'm looking forward to coming home." " Hi, Vera." " Hi, Falk." "You look nice." "Falk, what is this?" "I'm getting dizzy." "Now!" "You can open your eyes." "And now... .. a fanfare!" "Nice!" "Watch out." " Where did you get it?" " Well, it just happened." "Like we are on clouds." "Vera, there has been so many bad things between us lately, and..." " I'm not so easy to live with, am I?" " We have both made mistakes." "Let's start over from the beginning." "Maybe a new bed will help?" "It was so empty without you." "Falk..." "Falk!" "At least let me unpack first, ok?" "No problem." " So, how is school going?" " "Lack of attention"" "But she has so much creativity!" "That's important." "Children should be creative." " When do you start teaching?" " Monday." "So soon?" "My nine graders wrote me lovely letters." "They made a huge painting together." "It was such a big package." "I think they actually missed me." "Of course they did!" "Don't underestimate yourself, Vera." "Once again, Welcome back." "It's nice to have you here again." "Nice." "Everyone is healthy, everyone is here." "All my children." "Why can't it always be like this?" "Go ahead and make fun of me." "I should do this twice per week." "I owe you a thank you." "Listen, Martin," "I forbid you to see Julia Hausmann and the people around here." "That Robert Schnyder, is he still in jail?" "Nothing stays hidden, that's what you always say." "I'm warning you Martin:" "Don't make me your enemy!" "You are scared!" "Take a cold shower." "It calms you down and clears your thoughts." "Joachim?" "This is Hans." "I'm looking at the paternity test here." "I'm not sure I understand..." "It is out of the questions?" "Are you sure?" "Good." "Thank you." "Dunja, you lying slut!" " How many cities will you sing in?" " Seven." "Everything is sold out." "Can I help you?" "I have my own system, you know that." ""A speech to the officers"?" "Are you going to sing it?" "Yes of course!" "And two new songs." "You will lose your stage permit." "I have a guarding angel." "Julchen, I have to speak up, otherwise I will suffocate." "And my audience is expecting that." "I'm not some regular pop-singer." "Pop-singer, Pop-singer." "Do you hear that?" " No." " Oh my god, I'm losing my voice." "Give me my toiletry case!" "I'm going to lose my voice." "Do you remember last time?" "You had laryngitis that time and 40 degrees temperature." "And tomorrow it's "Blauen Engel" in Erfurt." "With the crappy acoustic." "No, stay." "Come here, darling." "I'm suffering from stage fright." "You have a beautiful voice." "Armin is here!" "Armin..." "Armin!" "I will bring you chocolate." "Then we will do something together." ""Then we will travel to the East Sea coast together"" " Dunja, hurry up!" " I'm coming, Armin." "Good bye, darling!" "Hausmann, hello." "Julia?" "We cannot see each other anymore." "I know." "Are you alone?" "Yes." "Martin?" "Hello?" "I'm sorry." "We hardly know each other." "We are having fun on Robert's expense." "I'm trying all I can to find out something about him." "Yes." "Thanks for trying." " Do you want me to leave?" " No." "Absolutely not" "My mom gave it to me so that I would learn to recognise bird sounds." "I can't hear any difference at all." "But it's nice to just listen to it." "So what we are hearing is... a lark?" "No, a nightingale." "It's the B-side." "This is the best one..." "A reed bunting." "It doesn't know how to sing, just like me." "Do you know what?" "I always wanted a woman that don't know how to sing." " I did it because of you." " Because of me?" "I stayed because of you." "Face against the wall, hands on your back!" "Following order, he has been kept in isolation for 3 days." "The light in his cell is always on." "That should do the trick." "He is probably completely disoriented by now." "Sounds good." "Stop!" "Sit down." "Sit straight." "Put your hands on your thighs." "Good day Mr Schnyder." "Good day." "What time is it?" "I'm not supposed to tell you." "Day or night?" "About midnight." "So how are you?" " Can I get a lawyer?" " Of course." "Go ahead and pick one." "Go ahead." "Good, I will contact Mr. Becker." "He will come to see you." "Can you fix so that the lights in my cell are turned of at the night?" "Of course." "I'm gonna reveal something:" "I'm actually not that interested in you." "Julia Hausmann has broken the laws of the republic." "We need you as a witness." "Julia never wanted to leave." "Now let's stick to the truth Mr Schnyder." "Yes sure, I was hoping for it..." "But she didn't want to!" "She never wanted to leave DDR." "You're good at lying." "You're a very talented liar." "And keep turning on and off the lights in his cell all the time." "That is an order!" "Yes, comrade Major." "So, every 15 minute?" "No, nothing that regularly." "Yes, Alexander Ditjatin will win all the medals!" "Let me do that." "Can you bring out the last plates?" " A glass of sekt, gentlemen?" " Thank you, we have already been served." "Where is Martin?" "I don't know." "He said he would be on time." "Good evening!" "Comrade General Lieutenant..." "I'm sorry I'm late." "This is my father." " Julia Hausmann." "It's a pleasure." "Please excuse me..." "This is my brother Falk" "Do we know each other?" "You don't know me." "But maybe we've run in to each other somewhere." " Hi." " Can you take care of the guests?" "So ladies and gentlemen, lunch is served!" "Comrade General Lieutenant, please go ahead." "What is this?" "You're not going to let us in?" "It's not a good time, Martin." "More questions?" "Come!" "No, no, come." "I'm sorry." "It was expected." "Is this your ex-wife?" "Yes, that's Marion." "She's good looking." "Very beautiful." "You brother interrogated me in jail." "Falk?" "... it was a short way to the Olympics for this big, honourable people who have met so big success!" "How can you live with him?" "Falk is my brother." "He always need to have everything under control." "Perfect man for his job." "He is my brother, Julia!" "And blood is thicker than water, right?" "I'm worried about Robert." "I'm going crazy not knowing anything." "I better go." "The wall was way too high" "Yes, the wall was way too high" "He is dying in the grass." "She's kissing his pale lips" "And so they both sank down and she became just like him she became just like him" "But still you can hear her songs" "Her home is still in this country" "This no man's country where she is still queen They were once royal children" "Royal children they will become again" "She is still singing her song in the evening wind" "Love with courage" "You are a royal child!" "I'm 61 years old and I only know 3 constellations." "The big and the small dipper and the scorpio." "Isn't that sad?" " Is that the only problem you have?" " She looks just like her mother." "What's wrong with you?" "Are you losing focus on what's important here?" "Do you know what's important then, Falk?" " Four encores!" "Isn't that wonderful?" " Yes." "That's how it is." "People are starving for the truth." "Well, I'm more hungry for a real big dinner." "Sometimes I manage to catch the truth briefly." "And then I refuse to let it go." "But when I look closely, it's just some broken pieces that I'm holding in my hands." "I'm not nice to my daughter." "I think you should..." "You are acting very quickly here in Erfurt." "Once you are dressed we would love to have a few words with you." " She is Dunja Hausmann's daughter?" " Yes." "And you brought her here to our house?" "What a provocation." "It wasn't meant as a provocation, I wanted to announce it to you." "That this is the woman I love." "Eh, you are just madly in love." "So you are spying on my feelings now as well?" "I want to live with Julia." "How would that happen?" "That's what I wanted to talk to you about." "I can't believe how naive you are, Martin!" "A dissident daughter in the family?" "It would be over for all of us!" "No one would trust us anymore." "We would be kicked out of Stasi, the party, and this house!" "We would become outlaws!" "Martin, this woman is our enemy!" "Julia our enemy..." " What did you expect?" " Understanding." "We all understand you, Martin." "But you have to end this quickly and painlessly." "Have you understood?" "I can't." "I'm sorry." "The honey moon phase lasts for 3 months." "Then he will come to his senses." " Hans, he is your son." " And he reminds me of myself." "Marlene, I don't want to loose him." " Are you not coming to bed?" " I'm wide awake." "Can we talk a bit?" "Go ahead." "I want another child." "A child?" "How is that going to happen?" "Are you going to bake one?" "If I remember correctly you have destroyed your fertility with alcohol." "A foster child." "Or we could adopt one." "Why would we?" " For us." " You are so stupid." "So stupid!" "Don't you understand what's going on here?" "Stop with your stupid women's fuss!" "Where are you going?" "I'm thirsty." "Forgive me." "Come back to bed now, won't you?" "Enjoy the new scent." "Now tell me: how many cars do they have?" "Three." "Hotshots at the interior ministry." "How come he is just a simple cop?" "Because he likes his job." "But you're not going to marry him, right?" "Well, three cars, phones in every apartment and then all those TVs..." " Moni, I'm will marry because of love." " Of course, it's the richness of the soul that matters." "What about that fancy Robert?" "Should I clean the small shelf?" "They come here and play all fancy, but over there they have nothing to offer." "Enter!" " Sit there!" " That's enough." "Have a seat, Mr Schnyder." "I brought some cookies." "Do you want?" "Coffee?" "It's ok." "How's it going it with my lawyer?" "Becker?" "He will contact you as soon as possible." "And.. what are the conditions here at the prison?" "In my cell... the light is going on and off.." "on and off.. all the time." "That is not right." "That's against the rules." "If that is happening then we have to..." "Ok, I will deal with that afterwards." "You have to excuse us." "I'm really sorry." "So." "When did Julia Hausmann first mention that she wanted to leave DDR?" "I have already told you..." "Julia never wanted to..." "Do you want to know what your girlfriend is up to?" "While you're trapped in here, she is having the time of her life." "Not a very nice character, no?" "Well, we can all fall for the wrong person." "I have too." "But this..." "Did she already have a finished escape plan?" "Or was the idea about the hidden place something that came up along the way?" "Take all the time you need." "We will go through it together." " Julchen, it's over again!" " Mom?" "Hello." "The tour was cancelled after 8 hours of interrogation." "And I will get paid for the concerts." "Spys at every damn concert..." "But they don't listen at all, they refuse to hear." "They don't understand that I'm singing about a country that I love." "They just want to scare you." "They are so cynical, those bastards." "I need a Schnaps." " Mom, I have a vistor." " Good evening." "Would you like some gulasch?" "Please leave my house." "I live here too." "Never come back here again!" "You can't." "Martin is my guest." "I get sick just watching you two." " I think that's everything." " I'm coming with you." "Where should we go?" "How about the Brandenburg forests?" "Hi, Görlitz." "Can we sleep here?" " It's a bad timing." " Thanks anyway." "See you tomorrow." "And when was this?" "I told you he was ready." "I'm coming right away!" "Yes?" "So, it's getting ready..." "The US Embassy has written to the foreign minister about Robert Schnyder." "They are ready to pay in hard currency." "That sounds good." "But first we need the confession." "Then we have Hausmann." "What are you talking about?" "Schnyder broke down in his cell." "Now he wants to talk to the his interrogator." "I'm coming with you." "He was hard to break." "I had him driven in the dark around the city and then to a dark cell." "Where the light went on and off all the time." "He got completely confused." "It's not a humane system, but that's how you break them, father." "Number 2, get up!" "Your interrogator is here!" " Hey get up!" " What's wrong?" "Unlock the door!" "A doctor." "Damn it, get a doctor!"
