Original subtitles

Everyone must be free to live with the person they love.

As for Martin's aberration ...

I have Martin under control.

You can't withhold Lisa from me! It is my right to see them!

Who is more important to you? Lisa or Hausmann?

I don't think we can see each other anymore.

A guy like that is said to have been hanging around the playground at Weißensee for a few days.

What are you doing here so alone?

It's about a missing girl. Inform all police cars immediately!

It is my daughter!

Lisa!

Lisa! Lisa!

Excuse me. Excuse me.

I am looking for my daughter. She is about four feet and blond.

- Did you see her? Her name is Lisa. - I'm sorry.

- Maybe she's home already. - Yes, sure.

Kupfer here. It's about my granddaughter Lisa, six years old.

She disappeared from school on the way home .

There is an acute danger.

There has been a sex offender chasing children in your district for days .

So I ask that you use more than two police cars.

Good, then give me Colonel Paschke.

Lisa is not stupid.

- She won't go with a stranger. - Roland. Hans here.

- Out of spite, she is capable of anything. - Arrange for a large-scale operation.

He just must have promised her something. She's only six.

I take responsibility for you. Do you understand?

You don't know what kind of people there are.

Here, that calms you down.

- I can mobilize service unit 6. - You stay out of it!

Sorry, I wanted to offer my help.

- I would never have let myself into it. - What do you think?

It was your idea to forbid Martin to have contact with Lisa.

And Lisa wanted to see her father.

- To her father. - Come come.

- Nothing can be forbidden. - Come come.

If anything happens to the child ...

She neglects her mother duties.

- ... it's your fault! - No problem.

I like to scapegoat you. I've got practice in that.

Marion, Lisa will be home soon.

You will find them soon.

Roman is already sleeping. The training was exhausting.

Nice. Good.

Falk.

Lisa will definitely show up again soon.

It will have gambled away. Like children of that age ...

I'll meet him at 10:15 p.m. at Alexanderplatz and give him the tapes.

Sure he's not being checked?

- He has a diplomatic passport. - He's not being felted.

I'll take over the tapes over there. Dead certain.

Well ... hopefully.

Julchen. What's wrong?

- are you getting sick? - Martin broke up.

Come on, go.

And turn on the radio.

Meigold is just leaving.

- Are you driving him to Alex? - yeah

- Call immediately. - As soon as I get the tapes back over there.

- Bye. - Bye Bye.

Bye-bye.

You only access it when Meigold hands over the ribbons.

- What do you do? - I'm going back.

- No not yet. - You drive Me crazy.

This is our grid square, we have instructions.

Forget it, Görlitz, you turn left.

There's a café up ahead. There's spaghetti ice cream there. Lisa loves that.

- Then we have to report. - No, we don't!

Leave it.

Just for you, Martin.

Toni 8 at headquarters.

- Headquarters here, come. - No result yet.

- We're looking for the next grid square. - Got it.

- There she is! Go in there! - Where?

- Lisa! - Papa.

- What's that supposed to be? What's that supposed to mean? - Are you okay?

- Why are you doing this, papa? - Are you doing well?

Keep calm!

Mr. Bäumer bought me gummy bears.

How about a cocoa? Or rather cola?

- Dear Cola. - Go into the kitchen with Grandma, okay?

Was she ... was she with this pervert, Martin?

He is being questioned now.

- Did he touch my daughter? - She says no.

And I believe her.

We should still go to the clinic to be on the safe side.

Come on. Everything will be fine, yes?

- I want my peace! - I need a headache pill.

Yes, come in.

Little angel.

Martin got scared.

You will be amazed how quickly you can forget a guy like that.

There is only one thing that you will never forget. Didn't you even sing that?

- I'll go crazy if I think-- - I think Lisa.

This is just to be safe.

Martin ... I want to ask your forgiveness.

I was impossible.

But the truth is, I'm just ...

jealous.

Marion, we ...

We have n't lived together for over a year .

You wanted the breakup as much as I did.

And nevertheless...

I find it hard to see that you are with another woman.

It was all crap. Using Lisa to blackmail you.

I don't know you like that at all.

So ... so insightful and soft.

I ... well ...

I've thought a lot about us. And I see some things differently today.

For example?

I wouldn't want to change you anymore

You would never be satisfied with a simple cop.

No matter what you are. I care who you are.

Let's try again together.

For Lisa too.

- Look, that's what I chose. - Nice.

- Everything OK. No reason to worry. - Thank you.

- Bye. - Bye.

Do you love each other again now?

Caught.

I didn't come to shop today .

Ah, I know the excuse. Come sit down.

Thank you.

- And? What came out - All good.

Nice.

Marion wants you back.

How do you know?

Do you still have feelings for her?

Well, she is me ...

We were happy together. At the beginning.

But the whole thing also had something of a model marriage.

It was not...

I do not know.

- You would make Lisa very happy. - This is true.

And um ...

Julia Hausmann is still haunted in your head?

And.

Perhaps you will understand that best, father.

Think carefully about what you are doing, Martin.

So that you don't regret your decision for a lifetime.

Good evening. Do I get a beer or do I disturb the intimate togetherness?

Sure you get a beer, Falk.

- Is Lisa back? Intact? - Yes.

I knew it. Come over.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

Why are you in such a good mood?

To us. To the Kupfer family.

- ♪ Who locks people up? ♪ - Nobody can hold us down.

- Dumbass. - Dumbass.

♪ Who will lock you up? ♪

♪ Just the old men ♪

We gave the tape to the music agent Klaus Meigold

picked up yesterday at 10.30 p.m. at Alexanderplatz.

Meigold admitted after four hours of interrogation

that the recording should appear at the record company volumes.

We let Meigold go this morning.

Congratulation...

Comrade Kupfer ... to your instinct.

Yes, yes ...

you have to let the boys go.

They bring the dirt to the surface.

I always knew that Hausmann was a lazy number .

- She is critical, but a socialist. - Are you deaf, Kupfer?

"The wall that does not let air through."

"Old men who are scared."

This is not a criticism!

These are slanders

it wants to play it into the hands of our class enemy .

I propose: under lock and key with her.

Better today than tomorrow. You have a free hand, Comrade Kupfer.

I will prepare the feed immediately .

If we ignore Hausmann, we're wasting a great opportunity.

- So, should she cooperate with us? - The...

I think that's counterproductive.

She associates with many interesting intellectuals.

Jeroch, Zander, Einrauch...

You can't put a louse like that in the fur.

Remember, Günther. With your help...

we have many uncertain factors in mind.

And it doesn't cost anything to ask.

- Hausmann, yes? - Is that Meigold?

Armin wants to know whether Meigold has already contacted me.

Yes? No he did `nt.

Baby, do not do crazy, it's me already.

Yes, yes, I will.

I have to go to business. Have no fear.

I've said that a hundred times now.

I ... I haven't been to any playgrounds.

I saw the girl by chance all alone.

I thought I ... I'll take her home.

It was getting late, after all.

She wanted out to see her father. I helped her there.

- It looks credible. - Or totally boiled out.

Who knows what he was going to do with your daughter.

This is not the man I was chasing.

You only saw him from behind.

That would mean that our child friend is still out there.

Don't worry This is just the thing.

Come on, we have to go to work.

Ms. Hausmann, we would like to speak to you.

Mr. Müller and Mr. Meier, I assume.

Would you ask us in or would we rather go to us?

Come in.

So this is where everything comes from, right?

Whoa, madness. Have you heard all of them?

A joke. That's what you say when someone has a lot of books.

We have different humor.

We want to be honest with you.

For us you are not an artist, you are a polluter.

You bite the hand that is feeding you.

You lie, you want to harm. The rest of us, we work hard.

Sometimes painful too. For a better world.

But you break everything.

Soon you will understand that this cannot be the solution

To frighten people, to rob them of their freedom.

- Only the guilty have to be afraid. - Become a pastor.

Mrs. Hausmann.

We know that Klaus Meigold is on your behalf

Should smuggle recordings of your songs into the West.

For the purpose of publication with the class enemy.

The recordings were confiscated. We have Meigold's statement.

- Do you admit the facts? - Yes.

Good. That's our pleasure. That saves us a lot of time.

You don't let me play here.

Your texts are defamatory images of everyday socialist life.

My songs are love songs to the GDR.

Your texts contain material that is the class enemy

as a weapon against us.

They stir up the danger of a third world war.

Aha.

But that's a big compliment to my lyrics.

Ms. Hausmann, we have an offer for you.

We are not indicting you of enemy connection

and planned foreign exchange offenses.

And that's why you work with us.

Out.

Of course we give you a cooling off period. We'll be in touch.

No, I do n't think the color is good for you.

This color is much fresher, more seductive.

It's the color of summer.

Or maybe that?

The subtle pink looks a bit more distant.

I can not decide.

- It's our first date. - You know what?

Actually, the color doesn't matter.

Either the man is in love with you or he is not.

A lipstick color doesn't change that!

- Tell me, what was that? - I'm sorry. The woman annoyed me!

- I warned you. - You were the only one ...

Who gets involved with a cop?

- Your turn next week. - Yes.

- Thank you. - Man.

Grosse called. The public prosecutor has brought charges against Horst Bäumer.

- Because of child abduction. - so fast?

- Did he confess? - No, but the mother

who saw him at the playground recognized him.

They kept talking to the woman until she believed it.

Yes, or you were wrong. The man also had a criminal record.

- for what? - No idea.

Yes, but that's important.

Presumably he appeared earlier as a child friend.

Maybe Grosse will let me take a look at the files.

Hey look I think the two pretty guys want to see you.

Hey!

Na, Püppi.

- Do you want to look at a police car? - Yes.

Good day. N / A?

- Do you want to see the inside of the car? - Yes.

Follow me. There are a lot of buttons.

I think Lisa got through it all quite well.

Yes, it looks like it.

Do you want to uh ...

come to dinner tonight?

Yeah, maybe it's a very good idea.

Hello I am back.

Did something happen?

The Stasi put the pistol on my chest.

Either I work with them or they booked me.

- They want to lock you up? - Only a few months in custody.

They knock me soft until I say that

what they need for a proper process and then ...

Then I'll get five to seven years in Hoheneck.

Then the West will buy me out and then I'll be homeless.

I know the stories. They all end the same way.

But why?

They caught Meigold with the ribbons.

And my hero was chatting.

How did they know about it?

Well, my lamb, how did the Stasi know about it?

Why do you ask that weird?

My friends are clean.

Do you think of me

Why should I do that?

- huh? - Maybe...

to get your Martin back.

Are you crazy? Did they give you anything? Any drug?

Did you talk to Martin Kupfer about it or not?

Yeah, I think I mentioned it.

But it doesn't matter. Martin would never betray anyone.

Oh God!

My own...

My own daughter? In the Stasi swamp?

- That can not be. - Martin didn't say anything, I know that.

- I love Martin. - You love him, don't you?

Or are you interested in the power of bigwigs, the power over people?

That you can repay your mother

because she oppressed you for years? Is that it? Is that it?

Of all the people in the world, you are the one

Who thinks the worst of me

Nobody can look into the other.

Even your daughter ultimately remains a stranger.

What am I supposed to think? Who should I still believe here?

I warned you!

I told you

this family will bring us misery!

There we have it.

On Tuesday began ...

Martin is with Marion tonight.

Maybe they'll find each other again.

Well that's like fire, you know

When love is over, it can no longer burn.

But maybe it was never over.

Well, that happens, sure.

- We're fine, aren't we? - Yes.

Nothing can happen to us anymore.

- We know each other inside out. - Stop it. Marlene.

- And we understand each other wordlessly. - Yes.

- Yes, yes, that's right. - Hans, it's nice.

And and.

We have something like a model marriage.

Maybe we should go away again.

In the countryside? In the dacha?

In the dacha?

And.

The lettuce was good, as always.

It was nice today. We should do that more often.

And and and!

Will you read something to me right away?

- In real life and not on the phone? - Sure, my darling.

But I want to tell you something beforehand. Will you stay there for a moment, Marion?

So serious all of a sudden?

I will not come back.

Lisa, I'm always your papa.

And always there for you.

Always.

And I want to be a friend to you , Marion.

- I want us to get along well. - Why don't you come back?

Because I love another woman.

And I would always think of her. Every day.

And I would never be completely with you.

That wouldn't be a good life for anyone.

- Do you understand that? - No no no!

Papa is right.

- 'Good evening. Is julia there? - Have you checked your watch?

- It didn't work before. Is she here? - She is gone.

Good. Can you tell her i was there?

And that I will come back?

- I told you she was gone. - Yes...

Thank you.

I was just missing you!

Put on a coat.

I'm waiting downstairs Left around the corner. A brown Volga.

Dunja, get in.

Hop in!

- What's the nonsense? - I have to talk to you.

- There were already colleagues. - I know.

- Did you send that? - no

I would have liked to keep protecting you.

- But it was taken out of my hand. - What does "it" mean?

Dunja, you make mistakes.

You don't publish a record with such texts with the class enemy.

If you had been under my responsibility ...

What are you talking about? Do you listen to yourself

- If I were under your responsibility ... - I want to help you.

Why?

Then drive us out.

Where?

You know that.

I am eternally grateful to you for that.

You just have to go out with me once.

We were through with the subject.

Can't you get out of here at all?

Falk was here with his son last time, fishing two years ago.

- Yes, that fits. - What?

- That it doesn't fit. - Show me.

A little oil and then it works again.

I've always liked your pragmatism .

If you lock me up then ...

- I'll break then. - That's why I'm giving the advice.

- Accept the offer. - I can't spy on my friends.

Oh, if you only knew who can do all this.

We need critical voices. Yours, Dunja.

We need your creative minds

so that things go forward in the country. You see the standstill, the regression.

Yes, we shouldn't just say it.

Of course, you have to weigh what you make public.

I couldn't look in the mirror anymore . I would throw up.

In front of myself with disgust.

My daughter can be influenced. You bent them nicely too.

- Julia? - She told Martin about the tapes.

- The two did nothing. - What.

Then who do you know about it?

Your apartment is not clean.

That's not true. That can't be true, then ...

Then...

But I would have noticed that.

We do it for a living, Dunja.

It's about not noticing.

Oh God.

I thought my daughter betrayed me.

She will never forgive me for that.

You, Martin. My tomatoes, they worry me.

They don't turn red. I do not know why.

- Gitta is in my ears. - Send them for Leninist training.

What's wrong with you? Can't you answer anymore?

- I looked at the file. - What kind of file?

Horst Bäumer's.

- It's been eaten. - Do you know what his criminal record is?

Republikflucht.

The man tried to cross the Baltic Sea on a surfboard in 1974 .

The border patrol fished him out. Shortly before the Danish territorial waters.

- He was released from Bautzen. - Well, what?

It has nothing to do with child abuse . They use him as a scapegoat.

Nonsense, this mother recognized him.

The woman said it might have been the same man.

- That doesn't sound particularly convincing. - So. Department A ...

- We have to get the right one. - We cannot do anything without direction.

- Man, you talk shit sometimes! - I have to type in the incident report.

I swear to you this is the wrong man.

Good evening, grandma.

He is way better than me. He keeps me winning.

Falk, I have to speak to you.

- Marlene, we could have a barbecue today. - Practice the serve.

Who knows how many beautiful evenings we have left.

- What? - Yes. Your father has a relationship.

For many years. I suppose he'll still go to this woman.

And today ... Today I saw her.

Who?

Your father and Dunja Hausmann.

- Dunja Hausmann? - Yes.

I knew that he had something to do with this woman.

Get them away.

Once and for all.

It's enough if your brother Martin and this woman ...

Don’t worry, mother.

- Good evening everyone. - Good evening.

Good evening, Hans. We have already started.

Yeah, yeah, I'm running late. I know.

'Good evening.

- Any special occurrences? - no

- Chop or sausage? - Chop, please.

I heard there are charges against Bäumer.

Because of the kidnapping of Lisa.

It's good when someone like that gets under lock and key.

- There is no evidence. - Then there would be no charge.

Yes, because Horst Bäumer is a convicted refugee from the republic.

That is why he is treated like a criminal.

You don't look so closely if the search is successful.

He's a criminal. He broke our laws.

I don't think anyone is a criminal

just because he wants to live in another country, yes?

And there is no reason to brand someone forever.

The wall is the real crime.

- Hear this. - The border protects us ...

and the whole world before World War 3.

Are you questioning the need for the anti-fascist protective wall?

- People die trying to escape. - They know what they're doing.

- You know the consequences. - Even kids!

This is called natural selection.

Pay attention to your words, Falk!

Martin, you are influenced.

You are not able to see connections.

You don't see the connections here anymore.

It is through this attitude that the pedophile walks

- still out there. - Do you have proof of that?

Just because you want to get rid of an uncomfortable person do you accept

that our children are still in danger.

- You have no evidence of that. - I'll get it for you.

Martin, please! Now stay here!

Oh, you can't talk to you!

I also find that things are open and free-

You're not talking at all, Vera!

You are that!

Here! He's following your example!

Papa, where is Uncle Martin going?

Another piece of meat? Roman, you?

Wash your hands!

♪ ... children could stay ♪

People's Police. Open the door!

Is it true that you are illegally staying in the apartment?

Do I look illegitimate?

I'm just painting.

Can i watch

I was looking for you and then I saw you with that pipe.

- Sasha? - Yes.

- I've never liked the name. - He helped me move.

I wanted to explain to you what was going on.

You got scared and broke up.

No, I ... I couldn't have seen Lisa anymore

if I stayed with you

That is now clear.

You hurt me.

I'm so sorry.

- Nice green. - Green is the hope.

No, loyalty. Blue is hope, I think.

There was no longer any blue.

What you do here is forbidden.

I'm not going back home anymore.

To her.

The sun shines in here in the morning.

Still, that's not a solution.

Move in with me, Martin.

As a police officer, I cannot occupy an apartment.

This goes too far.

You can't ask that of me.

I don't ask anything from you.

I love you.

I also you.

When the boss finds out that instead of going on patrol , we're sitting around in the park in civilian clothes.

But then all hell is going on here.

But you always have to be the great avenger of the disenfranchised.

I do not want any trouble. When I tell the Gitta ...

That's him.

I'll buy it myself.

Can I see your ID?

Why?

Quiet, citizen!

- Günther, can I speak to you for a moment? - Yes.

Uh ... go ahead.

- I spoke to Dunja Hausmann. - Your interference

in other officers' operations is problematic.

She is one of us. She will refrain from publications in the West.

She cooperates with us, not as an IM, but she will talk to us.

I wonder. Your son showed very different results.

He consulted the Minister on the matter this morning .

With what result?

It was decided to make an example.

Dunja Hausmann was arrested immediately.

- We can't do that. - She's not fooling around on us.

That's how I see it.

One unit is already on the way to her to take her to Hohenschönhausen.

Pack only the bare essentials. A pocket. Not more.

And why am I being arrested?

Among other things because of treasonous news transmission according to §99.

- Can I still wear something? - Yes, please.

No, the door stays open.

Is there still some humanity left in you?

I'll give you five minutes.

Many Thanks.

- No entry. - Path!

Where is she?

If you're hindering us here, I'll have to report it.

- Where is she? - In the bathroom. She gets dressed.

- You left her alone? - I respected her sense of shame.

You can't be that stupid.

Mrs. Hausmann? Reply!

Mrs. Hausmann!

Mrs. Hausmann!
