And Manja's mother? Julia Sudokova, a journalist

From St. Petersburg. We can't reach them.

Your phone is off. Nikolaj's too.

What about the security cameras. at the airport?

There we go.

I can't imagine that Kolja would kill his daughter for no reason

no point. How do you explain,

that he wrote your number wrote down?

Because we know each other very well. You had

No contact for years. Yes, for 6 years.

Hm! Could you imagine,

Take Manja in an emergency? Me now?

Really, I don't. I'm not into kids at all.

Nikolaj picked you, by taking your number

Wrote on Manja's arm. I think Manja would be pleased.

I'll do that.

I want to show you something.

This is our surveillance footage.

Sure? Yes, yes. That's him

This is a kidnapping. "Davai!"

We're combing our database.

After the men. I guess, intelligence.

Do you have more? Yes. There's more to come.

This could mean anything. It's been shot.

Anything you can tell me about Nikolai. Petrov,

might help.

He had written mainly for the "REPORT 24/7."

As a young diplomat, I wanted to go to war zones sometime.

Had been kidnapped. He was a year

held hostage. When he was freed, he was

completely traumatized. and a different person.

He has started a new in St. Petersburg. Life started and no one at

Do you have any idea why he is coming to Berlin now?

What are we dealing with here what can we be dealing with here?

No.

* A phone rings. *

From Dorssen?

Mr. von Dorssen? Karla Lorenz.

Madam Ambassador. "Are you now"

at the crisis response center? I'm running it after I get

"the disciplinary action you instigated. disciplinary proceedings"

That's not why I'm calling. There was a situation at BER. It's about

"the journalist Kolya Petrov." Your acquaintance,

"the war reporter." Yes. It seems so,

As if he was taken about 2 hours ago. kidnapped.

"Kidnapped"? In Berlin? Then this not a case for the Foreign Office.

According to preliminary findings. it looks like this,

As if the secret... "I'll have to call you back."

There was an incident last night in the Middle East an incident involving 2 tourists.

I'm sure the police will sort it out.

"Michael! I'm telling you, there's something wrong.

Of course I reported it to the crisis response center.

But Herr von Dorssen ...

I'm already there and standing just in front of Wolfgang.

Karla Lorenz! Hello, Wolfgang!

How are you doing? Everything is fine!

I remember 20 years ago. totally nervous for the 1st time

Yes! Good to see you! All the best!

Mrs. Lorenz! Mr. von Dorssen!

Here!

There he is. Hm.

This is the Russian Embassy! "Yes."

Good! Thank you, Mrs. Brandt!

Line that up! And contact

The Russian Embassy! I want an explanation now!

* A phone rings. *

Hello? "Well?"

Okay! So. In the guest room is a dresser.

See you later! Ciao! * Message sound *

You'll never find me! Say "beep"!

No!

Buh! * He laughs.

Come in here! Come!

"You could have told me," that a foreign

Intelligence has kidnapped. That's what I was trying to do.

Thank you for going over my head. to run to the Secretary of State!

What I have to listen to now! But that's not my problem.

You always come with that oil tone. Mrs. Lorenz!

Yes, Mrs. Lorenz. From Dorssen!

Stay here, please! Oh God!

Where I have you both here. I heard there was a fight

between you in Prague. I want to get away

in the next few days. hear nothing.

Do you understand? I do.

From Dorssen? Yes, of course.

Where do we stand? We contacted

The Russian Embassy. They say,

they would have Kolya Petrov not kidnapped

and deny that he. is in the embassy.

Despite the surveillance footage? Yes.

They should at least confirm, that he is alive.

This is the situation. This is not acceptable.

If they deny the kidnapping, wait for the Russian ambassador.

A summons to the Chancellor's office. Bellousow is not impressed.

I realize that. Thank you! Of course!

Karla! I want you support the crisis team.

Your vacation is over.

Clear! No problem. Good.

Is Mrs. Lorenz as an old friend of Kolya Petrov is not

too emotionally involved? Mr. von Dorssen!

I hope so. That's when Karla is at her strongest.

I'll say it again: You swallow.

Your trouble for the next days down!

So! Call everyone together, so we can get started.

Gentlemen! We would begin now!

The Russian ambassador. denies everything.

But you can for much longer. not ignore the videos.

Are we sure Kolya Petrov is still at the embassy?

Yes. No car came out. When Petrov leaves the embassy,

we can intervene. What does the Secret Service want from him?

What is so important, that they want him

grab it here? You would have him

at any time in St. Petersburg. could arrest.

What has Kolja been doing for the last 6 years in Russia?

Mrs. Weimer? ... The BND has prepared a dossier.

Anna Weimer, BND.

Nikolai Petrov, nickname Kolya,

unmarried born 1970 in Berlin, raised here,

German father Thilo Sander, Russian mother

Irina Petrova, Jewish. Thank you! But we

Don't need all. biographical info.

You may be too young, to know that.

But Mr. Petrow was a permanent great figure in political Berlin.

He lived his Jewish faith. as little as I go to confession.

Not at all. I think so.

From Dorssen! Letter everyone,

who don't know who he is! ... Karla!

Mrs. Weimer, continue! '99 he started

at "REPORT 24/7."

Do you know how his release from being held hostage

has gone down in Syria? I just know,

that Russian intelligence had him

had taken out. Since he stayed in St. Petersburg,

he never could be properly about it. be questioned.

It must have been recently something drastic

happened in St. Petersburg.

They have him all the time. under their noses.

And then follow him to Berlin,

to kidnap him here?

I will have some staff in St. Petersburg

at the Consulate General. put it on.

Have them ask around to see what he has been up to lately.

It's probably someone

stepped on toes. You think he's

on a story, that somebody doesn't like,

But then he has the top floor. annoyed when the to such

reach for means. I wouldn't put it past him.

Did you know he has a daughter?

No.

Okay! From Dorssen and I Breakfast

the official procedure off. You check with friends,

What he's been up to the last few years. has been doing.

Maybe there are. old contacts,

that can help. I don't know. He just

Lived for the job. Was here some weeks, there some.

I can ask old colleagues of "REPORT 24/7" ask.

Okay! Maybe they know something. Okay, bye!

* A phone rings. *

Hello? "I have requested police protection

For Manja. There will be several officers from the BKA will show up at your place."

I asked for them. come in plain clothes,

To not scare Manja. They're already here. Give me, please

In the future, a heads up! What do you think I was thinking,

When they were at the door? I'm sorry! That happened so fast.

"I can protect them." That's what you learn

As a Czech policeman." Yes. But you have

"no authority here. I wanted to save you trouble."

How is Manja? She discovered your photo albums.

and is thrilled by the children's photos of you

"and Kolja. That'll keep her for now."

Okay! See you later! "See you later!"

(woman) In 2 hours PK. at the Department of Commerce.

Did you see? Great! Mrs. Heesters, hello!

Karla Lorenz!

Glad to meet you! How long has it been?

Um ... 2008, Kabul.

Yeah, right. Come on!

(Heesters) Come on!

You haven't heard from Kolya?

No. Since the abduction, he broke off contact with us.

Believe me! I wanted him I really wanted him back. . . Thank you

We offered Kolja back then any help we could offer:

Vacation, of course, flexible working hours,

a trauma therapist. Nothing to do!

Nora? You can go easy on him today a little harder today.

Okay! - Come on!

I talked to him once, because of organizational stuff.

Where to send his stuff. should send and stuff.

Please! So you don't know how he

spent the last few years? Only that he was in St. Petersburg

for Russian state television. Works. "GT"

Kolja and "GT"? I was surprised too.

A station so faithful to the Kremlin.

I'm guessing that's what got him his girlfriend made that clear to him.

Julia Sudokova. She's there every night.

A political talk show. She is the face

of the station. Very well known all over Russia.

Furthermore, she comes from a very influential family.

But you know that. certainly already.

Why are you telling me only half the truth?

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

Ah yeah? You have 2 days cut blocked for Kolja.

With Ursula Neunkirchner.

This is what it says up front. On the dispatcher's board.

Okay, good!

He contacted me a few days ago surprisingly contacted me.

He'd have a hell of a story. And what kind of story?

He wouldn't say on the phone.

Is that right?

He should have been here 4 hours ago. here.

Instead, you're here now, Mrs. Lorenz.

What happened?

"My suggestion would be, and we have yes"

Nothing to lose, we give. "24/7" the surveillance videos,

and they publish them. This is how we force

The Russian Foreign Ministry, has commented on the kidnapping.

to behave. Or at least times

The message. When they run the story, there.

a public outcry. Yes, exactly. That's our advantage.

And then how are you going to negotiate?

What kind of negotiations? What do you want

offer them still, after, how they behaved?

The federal government must not look weak before the election.

When Russian intelligence. are doing here,

what they want, ... No. It's not quite like that.

The federal government will. been on the fence about this.

Mrs. Weimer! You were in Moscow stationed there. What do you think?

To me, the kidnapping seems not planned, rather rushed.

That seems to me to be the main reason. to be why it

is denied. Mrs. Lorenz is right.

The Russians will only respond to a show of force.

The ambassador celebrates the day after tomorrow. his service anniversary,

his retirement soon. The entire

political Berlin is coming. ambassadors

From around the world, press. Everything, while a German journalist

being held with him? I think the message

wasn't prepared for this kidnapping. prepared.

All right! Hand over the material this Heesters! I'll hold

Consult with the minister. ... From Dorssen!

Load the Russian Ambassador for Tomorrow

into the State Department! Enough! Good!

Hey!

Good evening!

* A phone beeps. Okay!

You leaked it to the press. to the press.

Yes. But that's what Manja didn't see that. Ne?

No! Is she asleep?

So? How's she taking it?

Hm. Earlier, she was crying a lot, wanted to see her daddy so badly.

But she's got a fistful. behind the ears. Told me

that she was with her parents before. sleeping a bar of chocolate

may eat. Understand!

She's definitely. Kolja's daughter.

Do you know if he's still alive?

Hm-hm. Has "Report 24/7" filled you in,

which story he was on?

Yes. But he only suggestions.

Apparently the Russian intelligence service to influence the federal election

manipulate on a grand scale.

Cheers!

If he has evidence, that would explain the Russians' actions.

Most likely Kolja. the material itself.

So we have no evidence, no details, nothing.

At the very least, they need to respond. Jan?

I'm so sorry!

The one about the police protection I should have told you,

also because of Manja. You got yourself your visit

certainly imagined differently. All right! I like this girl and

knew what job you had before.

I actually thought, I was on vacation.

Cheers!

(Manja) Can we put an egg in it?

Will you do it,

or should I do it? I'll do it. Take this!

* The phone rings. Watch it, like this!

Mr. von Dorssen! "Open the website of 'GT'!

But Mrs. Lorenz, ..." Yes?

"Petrow's daughter mustn't see this. under no circumstances see this."

All right! Thanks!

* A woman speaks Russian. *

(translator) "During a severe fire in ...

Authorities believe the ... as the cause of the fire.

We interrupt for. a new message.

The acclaimed presenter, our dear colleague,

* She flips the laptop shut. *

Never in his life did he give the mother

to his daughter. did something to her.

They have the narrative. reversed.

Instead of talking about the kidnapping, all anyone talks about is this,

Whether he's a murderer. We don't even know if he's alive.

No. Have you met him? Bellousow?

Hm. Yes, on receptions.

A tough cookie. Was once an agent himself.

Okay! There he is. Here we go!

Mr. Bellousow, Good to see you!

May I offer you something? Coffee, perhaps?

No, thank you! Good day!

Then we'll get right to it.

I assume that today. the Federal Press Conference

have been following. And it will have barely surprised,

that the federal government. its actions

Demonstrated in the strongest possible terms. It was the chancellor's

a personal concern.

So you find right,

to solve a murder. getting in the way of that?

So Kolya Petrov is still alive?

Of course! I talked to him half an hour ago.

What do you think of us? We only want,

that for his cold-blooded act.

will be brought to trial. If you have enough evidence.

for a murder, we would. talking about extradition here.

and not about the kidnapping of a German in Berlin.

German-Russian! Don't forget,

that he has a Russian passport.

On German soil, German law applies. law and Kolya Petrov as

German citizen. You know that.

I didn't think. that you would play such games

need. Mrs. Lorenz! I thought,

They're on their way to Rome.

And I thought you were standing with one foot in retirement.

Your farewell party ruined you. But your secret services ruined it.

Unfortunately! Let's keep it short, Mr. Bellousow!

We demand the immediate release of Kolya Petrov.

If he committed murder. and you have enough evidence,

there's nothing standing in the way of an official extradition request.

But you seem to have no interest in a legal solution.

If he had, he would have had access by now. to a lawyer.

We have already granted him that. Petrow declined.

He just wants to see you, he says.

You're the only one he trusts. I thought so too

wonderful. But please come tonight

Passing by the embassy. Good!

I don't have to tell you, that every word is being intercepted.

Nope! You don't have to. Good.

You know the agent, who picked up Kolya?

Yes. Alex Nikitin. Hm.

I'll check him out. Very good!

We're supposed to report report to the back entrance.

Behrensstraße. No. We're going to the main entrance.

Mrs. Lorenz! Has the Chancellor.

Rightly reacted to Petrow's arrest today so massively.

criticized? -Can you make a statement?

Thank you!

My staff will guide you. through the house.

I'm getting the general idea.

Hi! Hey, Kolya!

It's good to see you. A hell of a long time ago.

Mr. Ambassador! Look!

My hosts went out of their way for us. have gone out of their way for us.

Mrs. Lorenz! May I? Tea? Please!

Thank you! And lots of milk And lots of sugar.

10 pieces, please!

"10"? - Yes.

* He counts in Russian. *

(German) 5, 6,

7,

8,

9,

10.

Well bekomms!

What about Manja? Is she okay?

Manja is with me. And she's fine.

Anushka! * He speaks Russian.

* She speaks Russian. *

You really fucked that up. How could you let that girl

Leave at the airport? Yes, I know.

Why the embassy? Why not a safe house?

Kolya Petrov seems to be on to something. big deal,

If that's why you're going you're going to Berlin.

Maybe I missed you.

I got myself transferred to Berlin I got transferred to Berlin.

to forget you. Did it work?

Are you sure you know what you're doing?

Yes.

Yesterday Manja told me, she would be with you

Always get chocolate.

Before sleeping. I knew then that I had your daughter in front of me.

She's awesome.

Yes, she is. Hm.

Karla! I'm sorry! I should have told you about her.

Or at least. send a card.

In front of the main entrance.

stand reporters from "24/7." Really?

Your involuntary stay. is breaking news.

The journalists were poked holes in me.

Okay?

And Eyla Heesters.

has managed to get the videos from the airport.

And she told me about your holiday plans with Ursula.

Yes?

Whether Bellousow is trying to poison us?

But sure!

I'll take my chances. We probably would have noticed by now.

Kolya! Hey!

Kolya! (Quietly) You want to give me

pin the murder. I'm afraid that they

kill me. Get me out of here!

* He coughs. Have some tea!

Apparently, he wants to kill me. yet kill me.

You're a war reporter for 20 years, and then

does a cake crumb kill you? kill you in Berlin?

Don't fuck around!

By the way ...

Manja has to go to the bathroom at the moment permanently go to the bathroom.

I'm saying this so you can. plan for it when you go on outings.

I was on the plane extra still

with her in the bathroom. And at the baggage carousel she had to go again really badly.

It was just so annoying,

because uh ... we were so

in a hurry. Like you?

You had to pee all the time too. That's right! On the trips.

We always had to stop. Yes, I know.

Manja is all, what I have left,

Do you understand?

I know. I'll take care of her. I promise you.

Thank you! Come here!

What am I going to find? "I suspect,

a flash drive or hard drive."

Kolja did give me the information confused the information. But ...

Even the Russians might. they understood.

"Yes." But no one is counting on me here.

"They expect German officials."

Be careful! Okay? "Okay!"

You've placed yourself nicely. Placed in the media.

The deal with the Russians was. a secret meeting.

I will not let the Russian ambassador dictate to me,

taking the back door, while the

Boldly in Berlin. kidnapping people.

This is the reality.

Good evening! Good evening! How did it go?

The whole embassy is preparing for the farewell party.

The matter was not agreed with Bellousow.

A solo effort by the intelligence agencies? Yes.

Most of all. of domestic intelligence.

I guess they wanted to rush make amends,

that Petrov in St. Petersburg. wiped out.

That's why Alex Nikitin is here. Would that

a normal murder, had he been set up. not been put on it.

Kolja must have been onto something big. What about that shot?

in the van? Nikitin has

No details revealed. But apparently

Petrov fought back. And in that tussle,

A shot solved, I think.

Is Horava at the BER? He is the same

in the security area, at the baggage carousel,

"The Russian authorities refuse to

an official to seek extradition proceedings.

Make pressure! If the Russians are safe,

that he committed the murder, they should provide evidence.

They're getting him now. not getting him out of the embassy now.

It's a standoff.

So sit the fuck down Damn it!

We should make them make them an offer.

Ease sanctions. Please?

We can't give the intelligence agencies not gift them for this,

that they are breaking international law. Should I accept,

that intelligence agencies would kidnap me. just kidnap me,

when they feel like it?

* Her phone buzzes. Jan?

I have something. A USB stick.

"But I was expected." Okay! Are you okay?

Don't worry! I'll bring him to you in a minute!

Kolya Petrov has found evidence,

which we've been looking for for years.

What is this? Russian fake news armies.

As it stands, this proves, how Russian security agencies

Flooding Germany with conspiracy flood Germany with conspiracy theories.

This is known. Is that all? Yes. But we never had

Proof of this. And this scale is also new to us.

Petrow documented everything,

with exact location information, biographies, employment contracts,

All over Russia they are making

Hundreds to thousands Hackers ready,

Just before the general election. to strike.

Of these dimensions. we knew nothing.

This can sabotage the election. Wagner. I need to talk to him.

Get him! The Chancellor's Office Chief

It's already informed. Wait a minute! ... What?

Since there is a lot of interest, I have been asked to put it on

Keep me posted. Taken care of. Thanks!

Were those Russian for sure? Agents at the airport?

Yes. So now they know,

that we have Kolja's research. Yeah. They're not going to like that.

"Manja? I'm going to the bakery."

What would you like? 5 chocolate croissants!

Okay, so 2 whole wheat rolls. Yeah? No, yuck!

Hm! And a chocolate croissant.

Hello! Good morning!

So! Now I'll show you the best trick of them all. Whoo! Whoo!

Hui! Whew! I can do that too.

So! Whoop! Whoo!

Hui! Whoo! Whoo!

* The coffee machine is making noise. *

* A door creaks. *

Manja?

Manja?

Manja! What are you doing here? My elephant crashed.

I thought we said you don't go out. Here!

Come on in!

Hello!

I'll take a look around! Clear!

* Nikitin speaks Russian. *

Is this for me? Yes.

Good afternoon!

Good afternoon! Glad you could come!

Thank you so much for having me! You've got yourself

the mood for your big anniversary

certainly something. certainly hoped for something.

Well! And Kolya Petrov is not allowed to attend celebrations?

I have something for you.

Would you like to see this? Very much.

What is this? This is the last moment

in Julia Sudokova's life.

This doesn't prove anything. They must be well, they don't have to be from the night of the crime.

In this case, it does. Not every argument ends in murder.

Who knows if Petrov pushed her. has or she has jumped.

You know we have the research. Are you really that naive,

Taking a swipe at Petrow?

Do you think that convinces me?

I'd like to introduce you to someone. ... Mischa!

Mrs. Lorenz, Mischa Feldbljum. ... Mr. Feldbljum,

Karla Lorenz. I'm sure you have a lot to talk about.

Karla, nice to meet you! I am Kolja's rabbi.

What does that mean?

Don't worry! Your Kolja is still the same.

We met because of Manja.

Well, she's staying with you. with you. Right?

Where Manja is staying, is classified information.

Of course! I understand.

Would you like to a walk?

Outdoors. Into the fresh air.

I want to help Kolja.

I care a lot about him. He's told me a lot about you.

He used to joke, "If I ever get into danger,

call Karla!"

You seem surprised.

Well, kind of. You think he resents you,

that you couldn't help him in Syria. couldn't help him?

I wanted to help him. Manja walks with me

to Sunday school. That's how we know each other.

Kolya would never do that. Manja's mother wanted,

that she has a Jewish upbringing. enjoys.

And Kolya had someone to talk to. He could

never shake the hostage situation. It must be frustrating for

You being that he won't let you not going to let you help him.

I'm here because Kolya attempted to kill himself.

He cut his wrists last night slit his wrists.

Are you sure?

Maybe it should. just look like this.

He confirmed it for me. And otherwise I don't think they would have him either.

Found in time. Because Bellousow was at the embassy.

don't want a dead German, he had me flown in.

He's fine so far.

He's still wobbly on his feet. and is guarded around the clock.

I think that Bellousow the thing as quickly as possible.

wants clarified. The actions of the intelligence agencies.

He finds that questionable himself. He said so to me.

more than made clear. I think,

that I should give you this message. to deliver this message.

I will take care of Kolya. I promise you.

* A phone rings. *

Mrs. Lorenz? "I have to see Kolja right away."

If he really did something to himself. I need to see him right now.

We don't know if it's true. "I couldn't care less."

Make sure, that I get access!

Go to Bellousow!

Want to do a at the reception? Scene? Not a good idea!

"I'll ask around here and check,

Whether the man is even a rabbi. is in St. Petersburg."

We know nothing. It may be a game of intelligence.

You're taking a few steps now, calm down,

"and we'll meet in one hour

at the State Department and talk." Yes.

"See you later." Okay! See you in a bit.

I know who you are.

You are Ilka Smirnova. I'm sorry,

that I am so after you! dilettantely chasing after you!

I wanted to talk to you earlier. talk to you.

The rabbi intercepted them.

Man! You've got quite nice speed on it.

My breakfast has consisted of. 20 years of coffee and fags.

I'm a friend of Kolja's.

And Julia especially. And you are a journalist from "GT".

Yeah. That's how Julia and I know each other.

And actually, I already have. From studying.

Let your people. check it out!

Julia and I, we were ...

Tight friends we were.

Thank you!

Request Julia's Obduction report.

Why?

You'll find more. injuries to be found.

Elder. From 4 months ago to Example. Emergency surgery.

The spleen was removed.

And 8 months ago. Your left eardrum.

What does that mean? You know,

What it means when a woman. has a broken eardrum.

Yes. But not Kolya. Yes.

So she argued: That he's a good guy.

That it was just the kidnapping. That it was a slip.

A post-traumatic Stress disorder

may cause panic attacks, depression and

trigger aggressive behavior.

Request the autopsy report. request it! We women

must believe women, even if it. about men we love.

Karla! My best friend is dead.

She has everywhere. heavy battle scars.

You don't. If you have

voluntarily to death.

She has, in the truest sense. of the word

until her last breath. fought for her life.

"I've been asking around and with the Russians"

Counterchecked. Mischa Feldbljum

is a rabbi. in St. Petersburg.

Manja was in his Sunday school.

I need the autopsy report. of Julia Sudokova.

We don't. Why not?

Since the Russians have no. extradition proceedings ...

Can you get that? Yes, I can.

Check how faithful to the cremains the pathologist is. I want

No summary,. but everything. X-rays.

I care. And I need

All background information. about Julia: childhood, education,

Career, everything. Was that it?

No. Kolya's abduction. I need see the file. The rescue.

I know that the BND has more information than it is admitting.

I want to know who else among the hostages.

and whether those responsible are still alive.

Your agency refused to give me at the time. the information. Come

Not to me! You never got the file?

No. The BND wanted well cover up,

How amateurish he. has worked.

Weimer! ... I'll get you the file.

Thank you! ... Excuse me? Load it immediately to the server!

Where did that come from?

Lief at "GT". From the evening of the crime.

From the apartment they shared.

Here! The autopsy report and the Petrow hostage situation.

How does "GT" get the footage?

We haven't been able to that yet. finally clarify.

It doesn't have to be the night of the crime. Nope. The date

can be easily faked.

There were on the balcony. no cameras.

You know him. What do you think? That you can fake a record.

Yes. Yes.

I don't know. But I have seen,

how much trauma can change a person.

What does that mean? Your reflex is,

defending him. My reflex?

I understand. Sorry, yeah! So:

Had the Russian authorities enough evidence,

If it did, there would be extradition proceedings. But it doesn't.

They wouldn't kidnap him.

As if you had granted an extradition proceedings granted!

Kolja has too much backing here. What does that mean?

You are blindly defending him. He has a severe trauma behind him.

Who knows what else happened to him? happened to him during the war?

People change. So really! You don't know him.

* Something falls. *

Jan! Hey, Jan! Hey! Look!

Look, What I found!

This is a username. With password.

Where did you get that? Julia Sudokova has it

Shortly before her death. put into Manja's cube.

My laptop is in the bedroom. Come!

5 gigabytes. If that's all files,

This is a huge data set. Which hopefully tells us,

who killed her? Do you inform the State Department?

Yes. But first I'll myself an impression.

Get off the internet! Hm!

This looks like a. great research.

Sorted by country. This is a Germany folder.

Detailed information on individual members of the Bundestag.

address, social security. and cell phone number.

You need to report this. They let themselves be bought?

Probably.

"Unlike Petrow's material. is Sudokowa's"

bigger, more extensive. She researched.

a much bigger attack on Germany

than suspected. The Russian intelligence agencies are planning

far more than the spread of conspiracy theories.

As far as we could. analyze it,

have them in almost every federal ministries

and every German, big party whistleblowers.

What? How? And you have the last few years.

about all members of the Bundestag, Ministry employees.

and government employees. private data collected.

The federal hack? Was part of the procurement campaign.

With this, MPs.

Blackmailed into cooperation? Blackmailed, that's right!

Or bribed. Or they are

something foisted, to force them.

That's not all. They have not just informants everywhere.

For the federal election campaign. They are planning even more.

They want all the juicy private secrets to be published.

Aim: To discredit all bourgeois parties. to discredit them.

that they don't seem electable. Not everyone has dirt on them.

No. But no one is always. completely correct.

The Russians want to give the impression before the election to give the impression

All bourgeois parties. are corrupt.

How is this supposed to be successfully place this in the media?

By blackmailing or bribing journalists. blackmail or bribes.

Russian intelligence.

have informants in almost all German media houses have informants.

Are there people too

of "Report 24/7" on this? I'll take a quick look. Hold on!

Ah yes! Exactly! Yes You're not, though.

Got very far. A dispatcher.

Clearly! That's how they knew. Knew what?

That Kolja wanted to publish. and what flight he was coming on.

When they start all the scandals. before the election, ...

... no one can match it. It's going to be a bellwether election.

"What I still don't understand is this.

We thought Julia Sudokova but always for

a journalist loyal to the Kremlin.

She was also loyal to the government. A few years ago.

But there was an incident.

After the Crimea annexation. It has

criticized on the airwaves. After that, she was sedated?

Seems so. Anyway, then went about their research,

Which did not go undetected. She recorded it all.

Domestic Intelligence. supervised them

Around the clock. And that is secured?

Absolutely! Therefore also the video footage.

From her apartment. "Who is it at the State Department?"

In addition to the smear campaign, the have been recruiting snitches. Who here?

Wolfgang Heinzen. "Wolfgang?" What?

I've already had him arrested.

"I remember when you were here before"

20 years nervously for the first time. were rushing in.

I nervous? Yes!

Good to see you! All the best!

We must not forget that. Kolya is still in the embassy.

I know. But I can to the Russian authorities.

According to the latest findings. probably have little to offer.

I can't confront them until we get Sudokowa's data

have not fully analyzed.

What I don't understand: Julia Sudokova is working

in every spare minute. on her research.

Your friend is. a top investigative reporter,

who has his own anti-Russia material. researched.

But far less successful. Why did the two

not exchanged? Why didn't she didn't give him her info?

That doesn't add up. Nope.

We should insist on another meeting with Kolja.

We're putting pressure on Bellousow. because of the suicide attempt

and say we want to get make up our own minds.

Weimer. "Anna? I have another question."

What happened to the two Israelis? then become?

"It's in the back of the file." Both have the hostage situation

not surviving. That was confirmed to me confirmed to me earlier by a contact.

I see. Thank you! "You're welcome."

Did Bellousow make this up, that we meet here?

Can't it get any thicker?

No. That was my idea.

I thought of it the other day,

How you and I first climbed in here. climbed in.

That was 1991.

When the Yanks left! God, we were naive!

The whole idea that of all people. you and me saving the world.

We have Julia's research.

What do you mean? I know everything.

Comm!

Gentlemen!

I want to be alone with him.

Why did you call me called me last year?

I don't know what you mean! Yet!

September 18,

21:12.

I don't remember.

Kolya! You, this is the first and only time,

that you'll call me in six years, and you don't remember.

Your call came from Tel Aviv.

I had the BND do that. verify.

Is this important? Yes! It is important.

Because now I get it, what's happening here.

Mantra-like, I have repeated over the past few days:

"My Kolya I know, since I was 6 years old,

he would never

to the mother of his daughter. do anything to her."

Of course not! What's wrong with you, Karla?

Are you crazy now? Huh?

I've studied Julia's biography very intensively studied.

in the last few days. One thing you have to explain to me:

You used to make fun of. religion made fun of.

and all of a sudden you send your child to a rabbi.

to Sunday school? Please!

Specially since Julia is Russian Orthodox. And we all know:

A child is Jewish only, if the mother is Jewish,

I thought it said "Manja." But it doesn't.

It's called "Dana."

Is that Manja's mother?

What happened to Dana?

She gave birth. didn't survive.

How could they, in that shithole, where they kept us prisoner?

The call from you then.

He came half an hour,

before you reported Manja missing. before you reported Manja missing.

Together with the grandparents. This is what police records say.

Manja had disappeared and as if from out of nowhere, she was back. ... Kolya!

Did Russian intelligence blackmail you then?

Did they threaten that they would take Manja away from you?

Kolya! Talk to me!

It was a lousy demonstration of power.

My memory is this. Freedmen want something in return.

And the quid pro quo was, that you would watch over your girlfriend,

who accepts that you are a hostage begetting a child with another

and her influential father. persuaded,

to advocate for your liberation. to stand up for you.

What do you want? From you there was no help could be expected.

Such nonsense! Kolja, really! The secret service has put pressure on.

I was supposed to spy on her, When she started doing research.

In the beginning, we did together. researched and ...

I begged her to. stop it. I ...

This is also why parts of Julia's research.

on your flash drive. I didn't want you

in a difficult situation. To put me in a difficult situation. I was panicking.

You're lying, Kolya. Damn it! You're lying.

You have this all planned out: the big announcement of your story.

At "REPORT 24/7", Manja, Manja's arm, my phone number.

You made it all up. And when they find you

had you not been caught, you would have been absolutely untouchable.

The great Kolya Petrov! Stop!

Who saves Germany from the evil. Russians. That's who you deliver

not out on a suspicion of murder. That's why they had to let you

at the airport so amateurishly. intercept. They had no choice.

For fuck's sake, Kolya!

You know what interests me? What I, Karla, care about?

Was that an order, to kill her?

Or did you snap? I didn't kill her.

Of course you killed her.

How does that work? Are you hesitating? Shut up!

Did you just push her? Stop it! Stop it!

All you had to do was shut up and get me out of the embassy.

* Nikitin speaks Russian. *

Are you okay? I want to see my daughter!

I want to see my daughter.

Let go of me! - Davai!

Morning! Hello!

Are you sure you want to go through with this alone to pull this off?

Yes. The more unofficial, the better.

"Did you know that you owe this of Dorssen?

Wagner and the Chancellor's Office.

wanted a show of force.

But von Dorssen stood up for you. and your idea."

"Beautiful!"

Yes! ... Yes!

Come here!

Mrs. Lorenz! Yes.

Give! ... Throw please!

That's a Russian thing, too. thing with the dogs.

Throw! I want to make you an offer.

I think we want the same thing. You convince your people,

cancel the media campaign.

Sit! And German politicians don't.

continue to put pressure on us. And we'll be relatively silent.

some posts in ministries. re-fill and federal parliamentary offices.

This would make the research.

by Julia Sudokova remain under lock and key.

Why should we do this?

Because in return.

looking like the big winner.

You provided law and order. And the murder

on a celebrated journalist. successfully clarified.

You want to give us Kolya Petrov hand over to us?

Kolya Petrov confessed the murder to me. to Yulia Sudokova.

I could be persuaded, to make a statement about this.

You do realize that he will then

by a Russian court. will be sentenced.

We would need to agree on some. corner points:

An official Extradition proceedings,

A guarantee, that Kolya will serve his sentence

is serving time in a prison and not in a labor camp.

and an official apology.

for the kidnapping.

You'll get that from the Kremlin. never get.

Not from the Kremlin.

But from you.

You're retiring. You have nothing to lose.

You have spent 40 years very honestly as a diplomat.

about the German-Russian relationships.

6 years as an ambassador. Do you want all of that

in a big shambles. leaving behind?

That's not a pretty record,.

After all that our both countries with each other.

and against each other. have endured.

Are you really sure, that you want to do this?

I will not cover for a murderer,

even though he's one of my eldest friends.

Thank you!

Well, bring it on!

Comm!

Oh, Manja! Look!

This is my daughter.

I love you!

And you certainly thought of all the animals?

Hm! I'd better check.

Look! I thought,

your gang needs reinforcements.

That's a hoopoe. Do you know why it's so special?

No. This is the national bird.

of Israel. Where your grandparents live.

And where are you going to move to now? Mrs. Lorenz?

Yes? Your visit is here.

Ah, thank you! ... These are your grandparents.

Hello! Good afternoon! (Grandmother) Shalom!

Hello! This is Manja. Oh, Manja!
