"WEISSENSEE" "I'm afraid too, Julia." "I've been waiting for you for 2173 to days." "Welcome home, my lambkin." "I've lost our child." "We belong together, Julia." " Martin!" "I'm getting divorced." "Can you hug me?" "Any plans for tomorrow evening?" "We've an event in the town hall." "I've had enough." "Because my lung hurts and my eyes water." "Even though I wasn't sad..." "That was in in the church in front of the town house." "There was a concert with texts about Bitterfeld, subversive, and full of lies." "The whole music was disgusting, if I may say so..." "This can't be true." "It must be a mistake." "A double." "This is impossible..." "This is a mistake, Geifel!" "This is a fake!" "Then she got into a Lada." "Registered on Falk Kupfer." "general Gaucke Falk Kupfer." "Our Falk Kupfer." "He's my best man." "And I always thought that you're the weakest link, comrade Geifel." "Yes, I'm also shocked if I may say so." "This will be a tough loss for the department." "Should we supervise comrade Kupfer now?" "No, no." "Not yet." "But I want you to keep on observing his wife." "I have to be absolutely sure." "I want to know how often she goes there and to whom." "To whom, with whom..." "I want to know everything, got that?" "Everything in black and white!" "Here it is." "This is Goerlitz's garden." "It's bigger than I thought." "It's a real house." "Yes, I told you." "In three months' time it'll be ready for winter." "Our home." "Does Goerlitz have children?" "No, but he always wanted some." "Works." "You know, I always tried to imagine her." "She'd be six now, about this size..." "What did she look like?" "Small, wrinkled and red." "She had closed her eyes..." "And her little fists were firm..." "She had a birthmark on her cheek." "Which one?" " The right one." "And she screamed." "As if outraged." "And then they took her away." "To examine her, they said." "I didn't see her again." "Later, they told me that she was too weak." "Yes, she fought for one week..." "No, she died right after the birth." "Come on." "No." "I always thought that..." "I asked over and over again." "I wanted to know what was wrong with our child." "I drove them all crazy, and then they told me in the office that 6 days after the birth..." " Who told you that?" "I don't know." "A woman at the registry office told me that she'd died on the 24th of July." "No, on the 18th of July, in the afternoon..." "I never used to want a foster child because I was afraid that my wife couldn't handle it." "But that was wrong." "Besides, Roman's almost grown up now and..." "You're such a good mother, Vera." "A common task is certainly a possibility to strengthen your partnership again." "I don't think that a second child would be the right thing at the moment." "But it was always your biggest wish, Vera." "And for years you've been telling me that if we had a child, our marriage would work." "A second child was what you were missing mostly." "And I'm missing it too." "I want us to be a family again." "Your husband's just taking a huge step towards you, Mrs. Kupfer." "I have the feeling that he opens himself emotionally very much for you." "I'm really impressed and positively surprised." "I always wished for a second child, but..." "A marriage is no one- way street." "You too have to be willing to move, to change." "Or take over the responsibility if you really want to end your marriage." "I can organize a few things in the company." "Building material, windows..." "My colleague's got a trailer." "And the boys will all come to help." "But do you really think that this mini-oven will suffice for the winter?" "I can't cope with cold anymore." "I'll warm you." "Just imagine, soon we'll have our own home." "And we can do what we want." "Stop it!" "No..." " Stop!" "Good evening!" "Goerlitz." "And?" "Are you eating with us?" " Sure." "Is everything alright?" "Were you in my little garden?" "Yes, we were." " Is everything still standing?" "Yes." "It's beautiful, isn't it?" " Yes." "Or not?" " It is." "Gitta and I dug up the garden for 14 years." "And then we also took a break." "Well, now it's over." "Never mind, Goerlitz!" "Eva has nicer tits." "We've searched the apartments of these students and found subversive evidence." "We assume that they have contact with other subversive groups." "There might be a whole network at this school." "But we'll carry out further investigations and find out." "Kupfer, we'd appreciate if you'd lead these investigations with your students." "You are, so to speak, a confidant for them." "I want to talk to the students." " No problem." "We're just taking them..." "Alone." "I appreciate your zeal, comrade lieutenant- colonel..." "But I think we should clear this affair inside the college." "It was very careless of you to simply leave the books and writings that I had recommended lying around." "I would've expected more conspiratorial instinct from you..." "Especially if we're doing such a test." "What test?" " You're disappointing me, Roemer." "If I ask you to found a conspiratorial group to test the fellow students do it properly and not as negligent as the Federal Intelligence Service." "Do you understand?" "You won't get through with this." "'A test'." "This is ridiculous." "Why are you backing up this subversive scum?" "These students trusted me and it's intolerable how this trust was abused!" "These are no 'subversive elements'." "They are the most creative brains of this college." "They stand behind this country!" "They want to improve it, not only administer it!" "Tell me, are you really so naive, father?" "I'm not naive." "I want the best possible people to work for us!" "We've got enough dinosaurs." "By the way, you should be careful with criticism towards a higher-ranking officer." "This could cause problems." "What's wrong?" "I want to get out." "Out of the party, out of the ministry." "What?" "I can't go on." "I thought I could move something, improve things from the inside." "But it's impossible." "Today some of my best students were arrested..." "Only because they thought and told their opinion." "I even encouraged them." "And do you know who arrested them?" "My own son." "Falk must have had his reasons." "He only does his duty." "'Only does his duty', that's a sentence often used during the Nuremburg trials." "This is tasteless, Hans." "Sometimes I don't know which side you're on." "In the Soviet Union the people talk openly about Perestroika, Glasnost." "Here they're locked up if they do the same." "I can't believe what's happened to this country!" "What's become of the idea for which my parents and friends died in the concentration camp!" "That's the side I'm on!" "And still, you're a part of this system." "You can't simply get out." "And you know it." "No, not 'simply'." "I know that." "But it is possible." "Hans." "I've been through a lot with you, I also endured a lot." "I fought with you for this family." "I understand your doubts and I understand your worries too." "And yes, we can always talk about it." "But if you want to risk everything now, then you'll have to do it alone." "I won't go through this together with you." "No matter how much I love you." "Are you serious?" "You'll separate from me if I leave the party and the ministry?" "One doesn't simply leave the ministry!" "What will become of us then, Hans?" "I went through such a phase 6 years ago already and I won't manage a second time." "And I won't go, but you will, Hans." "This house and this family is my life." "Do you understand?" "This is my life!" "And if you'll destroy this, I will save what is to be saved." "I thought we love each other." "If you love me, you won't take this step." "Martin?" "Martin?" "What is it?" "Who said that Anna had died on the 24th?" "Do you still remember the name?" "What?" " It's important." "Yes, I can tell you." "I wrote down the name." "Wait a sec." "Here." "Mrs. Doebel, registry office Lichtenberg." "What did the death certificate say?" " 18th." "Right after the birth." "I couldn't believe it, she was as fit as a fiddle." "I tried to talk to the responsible doctor." "I asked over and over again, but nobody said anything." "I protested against it, and then they shut me in, in the cellar." "And I had to stand and stand and stand..." "In the water, you understand?" "I had to stand in the cold water." "They said that if I continued asking, then I'd never get out again." "Martin, what if there's something wrong?" "What's supposed to be wrong there?" "They were sloppy which is bad enough." "Something's not right." "I can feel it." " Julia, calm down..." "Tomorrow I'll go to the registry office and require all of Anna's documents." "Your IDs." "It's about our daughter Anna." "I was told a death date which is different to the date on the death certificate..." "Your child wasn't viable." "In any case, we'd like to know which date is right." "At that time I was in custody, and was brought back to prison right after the birth." " Oh, I see." "And why are you here?" "We'd like to have an explanation, you know?" "We must know when our child died." "Maybe Mrs. Doebel can help us, she was the one who told me..." "Will you wait here?" "And what have you finished already?" "What about him?" "He's only got three legs..." "Don't always help them." "They can make a mistake too." "Thank you." "Why weren't you at our garden party on Sunday?" "I was an the Baltic Sea with Roman for two days." "How's he doing?" " Much better, he'll come home soon." "And you?" "How about you?" " Fine." "My brother asked for you." "Beware of him." "But you'll come to the town hall on Thursday?" "I don't think so." "My husband doesn't believe I'm having that many gym lessons." "And you know he doesn't like the church." "I believe he'd kill me if he knew what I'm doing there." "What an idiot!" "Falk's no idiot." "He wasn't always like this, and deep inside he's different." "Yes, deep inside they're all brilliant..." "How's your marriage counseling doing?" "The psychologist thinks we're making progress." "She says we've a chance again." "I see." "I'm sorry, there really is a mistake..." "What mistake?" "!" "Where's the lady we've just talked to?" "I'm responsible for births during custody." " I see." "Concerning the death of your child:" "the dates weren't given exact." "Mr. Kupfer was told the day of the anonymous funeral." "But the time of death was straight after the birth like it says on the death certificate." "Could we talk to Mrs. Doebel?" "She was the one at the time who..." "Mrs. Doebel doesn't work here anymore." "Unfortunately, she wasn't very correct in dealing with dates..." "And your case isn't the only one..." "I'm sorry about that." "Are you really sure?" " Your child was a preemie..." "Three weeks early, yes, but I had the impression that she was healthy..." "Are you a pediatrician?" " No, but the mother." "Miss Hausmann, no woman wants to believe it." "But life goes on." "Thank you very much." "Come on, Julia." "What is it?" " Nothing." "I love you." "Wait a sec." "Hello, mummy..." "I didn't want to disturb you." "Where were you?" "I was worried." " You don't need to..." "What are you doing there?" " I'm measuring the cupboard." "To see whether it fits." "Whether it fits?" " Martin and I can rent a small Dacha." "We want to live there." "It's very nice..." "Haven't you learnt anything?" " I have." "The fact that I mustn't doubt." "If I doubt, I'm dead." "Have you thought about why you got such a tough sentence?" "And Martin got away that easily?" "I'd also have accepted help from my family if there would have been someone." "Do you know what I've done for you?" "Do you know that?" "!" "Do you think I'm singing this shit for fun, the stuff I can only handle with alcohol?" "I've done it for you, my love!" "For you!" "So that you'd have fairly good conditions in prison!" "I didn't know that." " No." "You didn't know that." "How would you?" "!" "As everything's always turning around you." "Around you and your little happiness!" "At that time I haven't asked you to go to this journalist from the west..." "And I also haven't asked you to play the heroine at court!" "I have to face the music that you got me in!" "Do you understand?" "!" "You can go." "What a surprise." "I thought you've vanished." "I was busy." "Hello, Thomas." "Thank you, Vera." "That was a great help." "It was a pleasure." " Look at my nice armchair!" "Isn't it comfortable?" " Upstairs, right?" "I had to cook only once on old Mrs. Gluwe's birthday for it." "Thomas!" "Get a move on and make a coffee." "Mountain ring race, you know it?" "It was great this year in Teterow." "Boy, did we drink..." "Slogan:" "Those who can remember weren't there." "You have to come along next year." "It's really a different world." "I'm off." "Do you really have to?" "There's a concert in front of the Reichstag." "He and his mates want to listen from somewhere." "Look after yourself, alright?" " Mum!" "Come here!" "Should I have said no?" "What do you think?" "Nonsense!" "Don't worry, he's a big boy!" "How did you look there?" "I was so grey then, I can tell you..." "Now it's working again." "Nici, you were right, it was the carburetor." "Anyone in for a ride?" "Thank you, Bernd." "Next week we'll have a barbecue." "Will you come?" " Of course." "What will you put in there, the place is all empty?" "First we have to renovate." "Well, who knows." "Maybe some furniture will fall of the truck from the furniture combine." "Yes, who knows." "See you tomorrow." "There's your father." "Hello." "I didn't want to disturb." "Your colleague told me that I could find you here." "Yes, come in." "You've got a nice place." "What do you need most urgently?" "We can't organize roofing felt." "That's important." "The roof is leaking." "I see." "We only want to hear music!" " Look after the people there!" "Drive on!" "Sergeant Goerlitz." "Please, drive on." "There's nothing to see here." "Why don't you let the young people pass?" " None of your business." "Asking stupid questions." "Show me your ID!" "And the Misses in the back too!" "And turn off the engine." "Mr. Wolff." "Mrs. Kupfer!" "Drive on right away!" "Why?" " Safety measures." "Go on!" "Get going!" "For whom is the safety measure?" " Drive!" "Are we dangerous or are we the threatened?" "It's about the drums I can hear in the back, right?" "The music?" "Don't cause a stir, or do you want trouble?" "!" "I want you to leave the young people alone." "They haven't done anything, they only want to hear a little rock music." "Mr. Wolff, I can arrest you too!" " Robert, this isn't worth it..." "It is." "I could puke when I see how the young people are criminalized here..." "Only because they want to hear some rock music!" "Don't you feel a bit silly?" "It would be best if you locked up the whole town!" "Offending an officer..." "Let me go!" " Stand still." "What's wrong there!" "?" "Robert, please drive!" "Please, I have to get away!" "I have to get away!" "Just make a list of all the things you need, alright?" "And don't be modest, okay?" "Thank you." "Miss Hausmann even if it won't change or make up for anything..." "I'd like to tell you that I'm sorry for what you had to go through and I couldn't help you." "And I really respect your courage." "I'm not courageous." " You are." "You have the courage to love." "That's more than I can say about myself." "How often have I cursed this man and your brother." "How often have I wished that they'd stand in the cold water and I'd hear them screaming." "It's so difficult to start from scratch..." "I don't know whether I can forgive." "Vera, I'm sorry." "Vera!" "I simply got so furious when I saw the police control." "I didn't think of you at that moment, I'm sorry." "Why should you think about me?" "Who am I after all?" "Some stupid chick who has no idea and about whom you know nothing." "About who you can laugh at with your great friends because I'm so petty bourgeois." "And because I'm scared of a police control." "Vera." "You're right, I know nothing about you, and that's why I hurt you." "Even though I don't want to hurt you." "And I laugh with my friends but not at you." "Even if they're great friends." "But they're by far not as great as you." "I have to go home." "My husband's waiting..." "I want to see you again." " You're a priest, I'm married." "It could be easier." "Bye." " Bye." "Good afternoon." " Good afternoon." "How long do you need for a silk dress." "This is pure silk." "Till tomorrow afternoon..." "What's your name?" " Maywald." "Like May." "Thank you." "Wait!" "Dr. Maywald!" "?" " Yes?" "Do you recognize me?" "Julia Hausmann, you were present when I gave birth to my daughter six years ago." "On the 18th of July." "The preemie with the birthmark on the cheek..." "Oh, it's you." "Yes, of course I remember." "You were guarded at that time because you were in custody." "I'm sure it wasn't easy for you, in prison with a child." "Yes, how's your daughter?" "What was her name again?" "Anna." "She died." " I'm sorry." "How old was she?" "She died right after the birth." "Still in hospital." "Don't you remember?" "No, that's impossible." "Indeed, she was weak but absolutely healthy." "A pretty baby." "I myself put her into the incubator." "What are you saying?" "Maybe I'm mistaken." "It was so long ago!" "No, wait!" "I have to know!" "Listen, I don't want to get into trouble." "I'm sorry." "Wait!" "The blond with the Teddy, that's Sonja." "Looks sensitive." " Yes." "So you will well get on." "Where are her parents?" "She's an orphan." "Look, how sweet!" "Maybe we should think it all over again." "It all goes too fast for me." "Vera, we're only here to get to know her." "You see!" "Sonja, this is Mr. and Mrs. Kupfer." " Hello." "They want to get to know you." " Hello." "Hello, Sonja." " Hello." "My bear injured himself yesterday, he broke his arm." "Can you help him?" "Of course." "I'm a bear doctor." "Come along, come along." "You can help me." "Now you're the bear's nurse." "Let's do the following..." "Look, this is good." "This is our splint, you hold it here, and this we'll wrap around the arm..." "And now the other way around." "There you go!" "The doctor who gave birth to our child was just here!" "And she said that it's impossible that she's dead!" "And suddenly she denied everything and acted as if she got it all wrong." "Which is possible." "It's such a long time ago." "I know that she didn't get it wrong!" "I saw it!" "Calm down now!" "You're getting carried away." "Does that mean that you don't believe me?" "!" "Julia." "Julia." "I believe you should talk to a doctor about it." "This is a chronic bronchitis." "I needn't talk to a doctor about it!" "It's because I was standing in the cold water all the time." "There are people who say that it's healthy to stand in cold water." "What do you think?" "Cut it out!" "I mean exactly this!" "This is scaring me, Julia." "You should see a doctor about it." "About what you've experienced." "About what you can't forget..." "Torture, Martin." "That's the word for it." "I've experienced it." "But officially it doesn't exist in this country." "So how should I talk to anyone about it?" "I even signed that I was never tortured..." "Why should somebody do something like that?" "Take our child away?" "It makes no sense." "I don't know what you've experienced during the past years..." "But I've experienced a lot that was cruel and made no sense." "I need certainty concerning our child and I know that you need it too." "The doctor will never want to talk to us." "No." "But we're clever." "And tough." "Am I right?" "Yes." "That's right." "It was so nice to see you with Sonja today." " Really?" "You..." " Come on, let's go..." "Would you like something warm for supper, Hans!" "?" "Hans?" "What?" "What is it?" "Do you want a fried egg with chives?" " Incredible, that man..." "I don't know." "I find it negligent and also dangerous to question a functioning order." "Where shall this lead to?" "This is the way." "To renew the system from the inside out." "So what now, chives or not?" "Good evening!" "Martin!" "That's nice." "Good evening." " Evening." "We're about to have supper." "Will you join us?" "I wanted to ask you something." " But you will drink a beer?" "It's about our child whom Julia's supposedly lost after the birth." "What?" "What do you mean by 'supposedly'?" "Excuse me, mother..." "Falk, could you come for a sec?" "I can't right now, mother." "Martin is here." "Something with his deceased daughter..." "He's in the study with father." "This would be a good opportunity to help Martin." "Oh, I'm sorry." "You know, he's done so much for you, so I thought..." "Yes." "Alright, mother." "I see what I can do." "Thank you, Falk." "But isn't it possible that this Dr. Maywald really is mistaken?" "And if not?" "And why did she run away from Julia?" "Be honest, father:" "do you believe it's possible that they've taken away the child from Julia?" "Why should someone do that?" "Why should someone go to prison for 6 years for telling the truth?" "Come on, that's different!" "Yes, but is it possible?" "And if so, who would order it?" "I can't imagine it." "There'd have to be very serious reasons." "I mean, really serious..." "So you can't exclude it." "No." "But if so, it would come right from the top." "And you'd have no chance." "I know." "That's why I'm talking to you, father." "I can't find out." "Not any longer." "Maybe Falk..." "I don't trust Falk." "Good evening, Dr. Maywald." "My name's Schmidt." "Thank you for finding time for me that late." "To tell you right away, you've nothing to fear." "But we need your assistance in a case concerning the safety of the GDR." "It's about the young lady who bothered you today." "Cigarette?" "How many hours have you slept today?" "One, two?" "I told you that my father will help us." "You can count on it." "What's that?" "Your lunch." " You're so nice." "Are you planning something?" " No, why?" "I know you." "Don't do anything rash." "Promise me." "Don't always worry about me." "What else should happen to me?" "I couldn't endure losing you again." "We'll stay together until we're old and die." "That's what you'll have to endure." "Will you manage?" "No problem." "I'll finish it." "I promise!" "Promised!" " Yes." "Bye." "Good day, I'd like to see Dr. Maywald." "Does she still work here?" "Dr. Maywald hasn't come yet." "I don't know when her shift starts." "Do you want to see Dr. Mueller instead?" " No, thanks." "You forgot your tea." "Can you simply skip work?" " I simply do it." "Just like you." "Come on." "Let's try some other time." " No." "Alright, then I'll fetch an umbrella and some warm clothes now and even get some tea?" " Thank you." "I imagined picnic with you differently." "You better go in." "See you in a sec." "I knew you gave instructions to say that you're not there!" "Stop bothering me." "Or I'll call the police!" "I only want to know what happened." "Tell me what happened with my daughter!" "Yes, we've identified the circle of acquaintances around pastor Robert Wolff and Frank Luchnik, the spokesman in the environmental library." "We've assigned all contacts by name." "Have you finally found out the real names of Bastel, Mucke and UFO?" "Attention!" "Yes, I only mention the regulars." "Nicole Henning, Robert Wolff's sister, Robert Schneise, Frank Luchnik Gerd Hauffe, Monika Lattermann And..." "Vera Kupfer." "Is this your wife, comrade Kupfer?" "Yes." "This is my wife." "Do you want to say something?" "I'm sorry." "I didn't stick to the rules." "But by doing so I've managed what comrade Geifel unfortunately couldn't." "But it happened unintentionally and in a rush." "Stop talking in riddles." "The state of information concerning the cross church has long been dissatisfactory." "I pointed it out to comrade Geifel several times, and asked to implement a mole." "Unfortunately he wasn't able or he wasn't willing to." "I couldn't cope with this situation and also informed the lieutenant general about it." "Well, and then there was this coincident." "Nicole Henning works in the same hoard as my wife." "And after my wife had reported several questionable statements by Nicole Henning to me, I spontaneously asked her to intensify the contact with Mrs. Henning." "As Henning and Robert Wolff are siblings, my wife also got to know Robert Wolff." "And at the moment she develops this valuable contact on my order." "Of course I would have informed you about it, comrade General." "But the fact that it developed so well and so quickly even surprised myself." "I even had no time to put in a proper mole file for my wife." "She's only signed the declaration of commitment so far and I'm sorry about that." "Comrade Kupfer, I accept your excuse." "I congratulate you on your resolute action." "Thank you, comrade General." "Comrade Geifel, follow your comrade's example." "I'm warning you one last time." "Go, or I'll call the police." "You won't get rid of me." "Until you tell me where my child is." "I don't know you!" "I know nothing about your child!" "Not now!" "I'm sorry, there's a certain Dr. Maywald." "She says it's urgent." "What?" "!" "What's it about?" "Since when?" "Yes, I understand." "I'll take care of it." "You don't really believe you'll get through with it." "I don't know what you're talking about." "Just because you're envious and don't lead your unit properly, you want to screw me." "Gaucke wants to see the declaration of commitment." "Yes." "He'll get it." " Now." "I've no time now." "Let me pass, Geiffel!" "Don't go too far, my friend!" "Good afternoon." "Excuse me." "Have you seen my wife?" "She was waiting for Dr. Maywald." "No." "Dr. Maywald left a long time ago." "What?" "I thought..." "Can you tell me where she lives?" " I'm sorry." "That's impossible." "Please." "It's urgent." "My wife's pregnant." "She's in great pain." "Only Dr. Maywald can help her..." "Please!" "I haven't said anything." "Thank you very much." "Miss Hausmann?" " What do you want here?" "I was informed that you're bothering Dr. Maywald, almost stalking her." "I can understand that you don't endure the death of your child..." "You're involved!" "You ordered it!" "Am I right!" "?" "I only want your best, Miss Hausmann." "I'm no doctor but I'm afraid you've developed a certain paranoia..." "You know where our child is." "Your presence is proof, Dr. Maywald called you." "If this psychosis manifests itself I'll have to send you to psychiatry unfortunately." "For your own protection." " Let me go!" "Once you're healthy, you can also have children again, alright?" "But first you have to understand one thing:" "Your child is dead!" "No!" "She's alive!" "I know it!" "And you don't scare me any longer!" "Never again!" "No!"
