Whose car was it? 348 00:27:36,668 --> 00:27:38,432 We couldn't establish it. 349 00:27:39,044 --> 00:27:41,808 The neighbors heard a car pull up. 350 00:27:43,009 --> 00:27:44,840 Then they saw the light 351 00:27:45,031 --> 00:27:48,229 shining through the blackout curtains. 352 00:27:49,417 --> 00:27:51,715 Then the car pulled away again. 353 00:27:52,821 --> 00:27:55,289 They haven't been seen there since. 354 00:28:09,140 --> 00:28:14,078 And the photo of the woman and the kids... you have it? 355 00:28:14,253 --> 00:28:16,221 -Yes. -Show me. 356 00:29:01,535 --> 00:29:02,535 Well. 357 00:29:03,665 --> 00:29:06,691 All right, we'll search for the woman and the kids. 358 00:29:07,243 --> 00:29:09,144 She may still be of use to us. 359 00:29:11,074 --> 00:29:13,600 Thanks for nothing, Eismann. 360 00:29:17,957 --> 00:29:20,221 And what am I supposed to do with this? 361 00:29:27,881 --> 00:29:30,543 What am I supposed to do with this? 362 00:29:31,051 --> 00:29:32,416 What is it? 363 00:29:33,175 --> 00:29:35,700 Go ahead and read it. That's your report. 364 00:29:36,678 --> 00:29:40,740 I completely trust Standartenführer Stierlitz. 365 00:29:49,394 --> 00:29:51,658 To hell with all of us! 366 00:29:59,499 --> 00:30:01,750 That's better already. 367 00:30:04,512 --> 00:30:06,571 It's a good lesson for you, pal. 368 00:30:09,852 --> 00:30:13,212 Should I write you a new report? 369 00:30:14,457 --> 00:30:16,755 Why? No. 370 00:30:22,233 --> 00:30:24,031 But I consider it my duty 371 00:30:24,803 --> 00:30:27,294 to withdraw my opinion. 372 00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:29,753 But will it look good? 373 00:30:31,157 --> 00:30:34,855 Taking it back doesn't sit right with me. 374 00:30:42,825 --> 00:30:44,793 What am I supposed to do now? 375 00:30:46,762 --> 00:30:47,821 Just believe 376 00:30:49,366 --> 00:30:52,734 that I won't act on your report. That's all. 377 00:30:53,971 --> 00:30:55,700 And continue to work. 378 00:30:58,017 --> 00:30:59,017 You can go. 379 00:31:00,546 --> 00:31:04,608 A counterintelligence officer should know better than anyone 380 00:31:05,852 --> 00:31:09,414 that these days he can trust no one, 381 00:31:10,210 --> 00:31:11,802 sometimes not even... 382 00:31:12,593 --> 00:31:14,221 himself. 383 00:31:15,697 --> 00:31:17,062 But you can trust me. 384 00:31:24,373 --> 00:31:25,897 Well, enough of lyricism. 385 00:31:27,738 --> 00:31:30,435 Send my order to Bern immediately 386 00:31:31,182 --> 00:31:34,168 to stop further work on the contact man, 387 00:31:35,461 --> 00:31:37,361 organize his kidnapping, 388 00:31:38,818 --> 00:31:42,949 move him across the border to the Reich in an embassy car trunk, 389 00:31:43,870 --> 00:31:46,464 and deliver him to Gruppenführer Müller - 390 00:31:48,323 --> 00:31:49,415 to me, personally. 391 00:31:51,219 --> 00:31:52,219 That's all. 392 00:35:23,595 --> 00:35:25,637 Pleischner was on his way to the safe house. 393 00:35:25,957 --> 00:35:28,654 He'd left deliberately an hour and a half early, 394 00:35:29,001 --> 00:35:33,769 so he could stroll through the zoo along the Aare. 395 00:37:25,713 --> 00:37:27,579 Pleischner was headed to a covert rendezvous. 396 00:37:28,411 --> 00:37:31,505 Lately he'd been in a state of elation. 397 00:37:31,988 --> 00:37:34,184 He'd carried out Stierlitz's assignment 398 00:37:34,491 --> 00:37:37,187 and was ready for another. 399 00:37:38,204 --> 00:37:40,811 He expected nothing but good to come now. 400 00:37:41,526 --> 00:37:46,799 In fact, all last night and this morning he'd been working 401 00:37:46,883 --> 00:37:48,784 on the draft of his new book. 402 00:37:49,663 --> 00:37:53,828 He had very little money, but he didn't think about tomorrow. 403 00:37:54,576 --> 00:37:58,707 Clean white sheets waited for him on the table. 404 00:37:59,356 --> 00:38:03,109 And that alone made life orderly and meaningful. 405 00:38:52,943 --> 00:38:55,689 Flower Street 406 00:38:56,715 --> 00:38:59,412 He was pleased with his visual memory. 407 00:38:59,720 --> 00:39:01,711 This time he found the street right away. 408 00:39:02,290 --> 00:39:05,283 Straight ahead now, to house No. 9. 409 00:39:29,549 --> 00:39:30,896 My God! 410 00:39:31,811 --> 00:39:35,043 Suddenly he remembered exactly what Stierlitz had told him: 411 00:39:35,470 --> 00:39:38,338 "You'll go to the street named Flower Street 412 00:39:38,773 --> 00:39:41,480 "on the even-number side. 413 00:39:41,593 --> 00:39:44,090 "As you pass No. 9, look at the window 414 00:39:44,174 --> 00:39:46,672 "on the second floor, left of the entrance. 415 00:39:46,756 --> 00:39:48,841 "Flower Street, No. 9. 416 00:39:48,925 --> 00:39:51,957 "The window on the second floor, left side of the entrance. 417 00:39:52,041 --> 00:39:54,602 "You'll go up to the apartment only 418 00:39:54,686 --> 00:39:56,689 "if there's no potted plant in the window. 419 00:39:56,773 --> 00:39:58,523 A plant means the cover's blown. 420 00:39:58,607 --> 00:40:01,363 The day before yesterday he didn't do it. 421 00:40:01,745 --> 00:40:03,141 My God! 422 00:40:36,161 --> 00:40:37,803 It was the signal of failure. 423 00:40:38,474 --> 00:40:41,041 The Russian agent, sensing he was being tailed, 424 00:40:41,125 --> 00:40:43,444 had managed to trigger the alarm signal. 425 00:41:46,873 --> 00:41:48,341 Now he understood everything. 426 00:41:49,173 --> 00:41:51,715 He remembered entering the apartment the day before yesterday, 427 00:41:51,799 --> 00:41:53,995 without even hearing the counter-password. 428 00:41:54,430 --> 00:41:55,692 Now he knew it. 429 00:41:56,105 --> 00:41:58,233 And still he couldn't see how he, 430 00:41:58,468 --> 00:42:03,370 a seasoned man, could have overlooked two simple things 431 00:42:03,454 --> 00:42:05,985 that Stierlitz had drilled into him again and again, 432 00:42:06,069 --> 00:42:08,690 making life harder not just for him 433 00:42:08,774 --> 00:42:11,334 but possibly for Stierlitz too. 434 00:44:32,692 --> 00:44:34,661 Wrong address, my friend! 435 00:44:47,076 --> 00:44:48,738 Wrong address. 436 00:45:21,945 --> 00:45:23,365 You went wrong. 437 00:45:25,929 --> 00:45:26,929 Yes. 438 00:45:28,086 --> 00:45:29,485 I went wrong. 439 00:46:27,089 --> 00:46:29,029 16 Mar 1945 9:00 a.m. 440 00:46:37,435 --> 00:46:38,733 March 16. 441 00:46:40,446 --> 00:46:42,875 The armies of the 1st Byelorussian Front, 442 00:46:43,210 --> 00:46:46,236 fighting in the Stettin sector, 443 00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:48,405 were pressing to eliminate the enemy bridgehead 444 00:46:48,849 --> 00:46:50,874 on the east bank of the Oder 445 00:46:52,179 --> 00:46:55,196 and destroy the enemy forces 446 00:46:55,424 --> 00:46:57,858 trapped in the town of Altdamm. 447 00:47:05,290 --> 00:47:07,554 Meanwhile, the right flank of the 3rd Ukrainian Front 448 00:47:07,638 --> 00:47:10,039 and the left flank of the 2nd Ukrainian Front 449 00:47:10,542 --> 00:47:13,603 had launched the Vienna offensive, 450 00:47:13,913 --> 00:47:15,637 aimed at crushing the main forces 451 00:47:15,721 --> 00:47:18,175 of the SS 6th Panzer Army. 452 00:47:19,319 --> 00:47:24,121 Another strike was carried out on Dierre, aimed at destroying 453 00:47:24,205 --> 00:47:27,489 the Estergom-Tavoros enemy forces. 454 00:47:54,475 --> 00:47:56,136 Guard on duty speaking. 455 00:47:56,764 --> 00:47:57,764 Yes, sir. 456 00:48:50,962 --> 00:48:52,224 Copy that. 457 00:48:53,132 --> 00:48:54,565 One moment. 458 00:49:07,214 --> 00:49:09,274 Stierlitz is coming down the hall. 459 00:49:12,547 --> 00:49:16,006 -Which hall? -Your hall. 460 00:49:16,426 --> 00:49:18,952 Stierlitz is coming down your hall now. 461 00:49:20,451 --> 00:49:21,884 Where is he headed? 462 00:49:31,156 --> 00:49:33,148 Stierlitz was heading to Müller. 463 00:49:33,993 --> 00:49:37,724 He knew that even though he'd exposed Müller and Holthoff's scheme, 464 00:49:38,052 --> 00:49:40,077 the decisive confrontation lay ahead. 465 00:49:40,588 --> 00:49:43,183 Holthoff had gotten extremely close to the weak points 466 00:49:43,267 --> 00:49:45,167 in his operation with the physicists. 467 00:49:45,667 --> 00:49:48,364 And if Runge's perspective had prevailed, 468 00:49:48,665 --> 00:49:51,807 the Germans might have begun building an atomic bomb 469 00:49:51,980 --> 00:49:54,006 as early as 1944. 470 00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:04,174 The year was 1943. 471 00:50:24,568 --> 00:50:26,195 Stierlitz got word 472 00:50:26,616 --> 00:50:30,883 that one of the leading nuclear physicists, Runge, was at the Gestapo. 473 00:50:31,794 --> 00:50:36,107 He'd wound up there after a clash between groups of physicists 474 00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:39,327 working in laboratories over ammunition production, 475 00:50:39,667 --> 00:50:43,257 at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute and the Medical Institute. 476 00:50:44,165 --> 00:50:46,099 Stierlitz knew that Runge's group 477 00:50:46,267 --> 00:50:48,896 had come closest to producing atomic weapons. 478 00:50:49,271 --> 00:50:52,866 He received a mission from the Center to find a way to approach Runge. 479 00:51:02,045 --> 00:51:04,105 Where'd you get this information? 480 00:51:05,612 --> 00:51:07,910 You think it improbable? 481 00:51:08,114 --> 00:51:09,376 Not at all. 482 00:51:13,353 --> 00:51:15,981 There's excellent company there. 483 00:51:16,169 --> 00:51:18,229 Fermi, Einstein... 484 00:51:19,513 --> 00:51:22,107 And Oppenheimer. 485 00:51:23,645 --> 00:51:26,011 Yes, he's in charge of it all. 486 00:51:28,158 --> 00:51:31,168 We have enough sharp minds in this field 487 00:51:31,252 --> 00:51:33,167 to be ready in time 488 00:51:33,251 --> 00:51:36,557 for the looming nuclear threat. 489 00:51:39,831 --> 00:51:41,977 Something's off. 490 00:51:44,316 --> 00:51:48,617 There may well be a leak, 491 00:51:50,864 --> 00:51:52,603 and maybe even... 492 00:51:53,309 --> 00:51:56,276 a conspiracy among the physicists. 493 00:51:56,824 --> 00:52:01,319 Stierlitz understood he meant Runge and his people. 494 00:52:03,063 --> 00:52:08,376 If that's the case, exposing a conspiracy of intellectuals 495 00:52:08,460 --> 00:52:11,023 would be possible only with the physicists' help. 496 00:52:11,667 --> 00:52:14,353 And Müller's staff are nothing but muscle men. 497 00:52:14,687 --> 00:52:16,100 No, they won't succeed. 498 00:52:17,276 --> 00:52:20,041 What insight does the Standartenführer have... 499 00:52:21,381 --> 00:52:23,596 on the latest trends in physics? 500 00:52:26,734 --> 00:52:31,138 Right now I'm thinking about how, with physical chemistry, 501 00:52:31,386 --> 00:52:34,214 we might slow the rate at which the masses get dumber. 502 00:52:36,298 --> 00:52:38,061 It's getting harder and harder to work. 503 00:52:38,602 --> 00:52:42,163 So many idiots are saying all the right things... 504 00:52:43,072 --> 00:52:46,440 You'll end up in a concentration camp. 505 00:52:48,280 --> 00:52:49,280 You think so? 506 00:52:49,448 --> 00:52:52,212 No, Müller won't send you there. 507 00:52:54,019 --> 00:52:55,987 You know too much. 508 00:52:56,696 --> 00:53:01,760 You'll get a burial with honors after a convenient car crash. 509 00:53:02,489 --> 00:53:03,490 Thank you. 510 00:53:03,666 --> 00:53:06,484 But first I'd like to place a wreath on his grave. 511 00:53:06,568 --> 00:53:08,036 Müller is immortal. 512 00:53:10,307 --> 00:53:12,901 As is the sleuth profession. 513 00:53:30,430 --> 00:53:33,332 Six weeks had passed since that conversation. 514 00:53:34,128 --> 00:53:36,653 Stierlitz had never precipitated events. 515 00:53:37,272 --> 00:53:40,218 Self-possession, he believed, is the opposite of rashness. 516 00:53:41,877 --> 00:53:44,540 Everything is a matter of balance: art, 517 00:53:44,848 --> 00:53:47,043 intelligence, love, politics. 518 00:53:48,720 --> 00:53:52,178 The second conversation about physicist Runge came up entirely unexpectedly 519 00:53:53,057 --> 00:53:56,391 during a party honoring the Führer's birthday. 520 00:53:58,198 --> 00:54:01,463 That celebration, unlike those in earlier years, 521 00:54:01,701 --> 00:54:03,391 was rather modest. 522 00:54:11,546 --> 00:54:14,277 After Goebbels' speech there was a concert. 523 00:55:19,395 --> 00:55:23,058 In the evening, a small reception was held at Himmler's Department. 524 00:56:58,313 --> 00:57:00,008 45 days had passed. 525 00:57:01,150 --> 00:57:04,587 Or, to be exact, 45 days and 6 hours. 526 00:57:05,955 --> 00:57:09,585 And talking to Schellenberg, Stierlitz made a passing remark 527 00:57:10,027 --> 00:57:12,080 about how clumsily Müller's men handled 528 00:57:12,164 --> 00:57:15,134 with the physicist arrested three months earlier. 529 00:57:16,040 --> 00:57:20,842 Anyway, I graduated from a physics-math department. 530 00:57:21,240 --> 00:57:24,904 Back then, physics nearly drove me to physical collapse. 531 00:57:26,880 --> 00:57:28,473 -Well? -Besides... 532 00:57:29,618 --> 00:57:31,279 Runge has connections. 533 00:57:31,953 --> 00:57:34,354 He had studied and worked overseas. 534 00:57:34,990 --> 00:57:37,324 We'd be better off taking this case ourselves. 535 00:57:37,859 --> 00:57:41,591 You were majoring in quantum mechanics. 536 00:57:42,905 --> 00:57:45,925 -Did Müller tell you this? -No, I have my own sources. 537 00:57:50,509 --> 00:57:52,773 Stierlitz had sold the idea to Schellenberg 538 00:57:52,991 --> 00:57:55,367 and changed the subject, beginning to tell some jokes. 539 00:57:56,049 --> 00:57:59,102 He deliberately steered away from the Runge case, 540 00:57:59,186 --> 00:58:01,347 concentrating on discussion of other matters. 541 00:58:07,295 --> 00:58:08,786 He knew that Schellenberg, 542 00:58:08,870 --> 00:58:11,498 a shrewd chief and born intelligence man, 543 00:58:12,001 --> 00:58:16,063 could let some details slip for the moment, 544 00:58:16,440 --> 00:58:20,707 but never missed the main points of any conversation. 545 00:58:21,486 --> 00:58:23,519 Stierlitz realized 546 00:58:24,109 --> 00:58:26,441 that Schellenberg was a serious adversary 547 00:58:26,778 --> 00:58:30,647 and very difficult to outdo in matters of strategy, 548 00:58:30,952 --> 00:58:33,280 or perhaps impossible. 549 00:58:39,568 --> 00:58:42,833 Watching him, he noticed something peculiar. 550 00:58:43,740 --> 00:58:46,402 When hearing some interesting ideas from his staff, 551 00:58:46,643 --> 00:58:49,408 Schellenberg seemed at first not to notice them, 552 00:58:49,647 --> 00:58:51,842 and he changed the subject. 553 00:58:52,583 --> 00:58:56,145 And only days, weeks, or even months later, 554 00:58:56,621 --> 00:58:59,955 after framing the idea with his own vision, 555 00:59:00,193 --> 00:59:03,220 apparently after checking with higher authorities, 556 00:59:03,697 --> 00:59:05,562 he brought up the same idea, 557 00:59:05,806 --> 00:59:08,207 but this time as his own, as a plan 558 00:59:08,469 --> 00:59:11,597 conceived and developed entirely by himself. 559 00:59:12,307 --> 00:59:16,404 And he could make even a casual thought sound brilliant, 560 00:59:16,752 --> 00:59:19,967 expertly tying it to the entire web of problems 561 00:59:20,051 --> 00:59:22,025 the Reich had to solve, 562 00:59:22,378 --> 00:59:25,940 so that no one could suspect any primitive plagiarism. 563 00:59:27,225 --> 00:59:29,751 In this case, Stierlitz had calculated everything carefully. 564 00:59:31,202 --> 00:59:33,194 Three more weeks went by. 565 00:59:33,733 --> 00:59:37,353 Schellenberg held a meeting on his agents' latest failures 566 00:59:37,437 --> 00:59:39,065 in Sweden and Liberia, 567 00:59:39,473 --> 00:59:43,102 and the betrayal of two agents he'd thought reliable. 568 00:59:45,012 --> 00:59:47,742 Schellenberg took these failures very hard 569 00:59:48,317 --> 00:59:50,861 and held endless meetings. 570 00:59:50,945 --> 00:59:54,882 At each one he delivered long, irritated speeches. 571 00:59:56,026 --> 00:59:59,146 Today he called in the staff of the European Department 572 00:59:59,230 --> 01:00:01,150 and grilled them individually. 573 01:00:01,466 --> 01:00:05,030 Stierlitz knew Schellenberg well and had planned for this, 574 01:00:05,337 --> 01:00:10,139 but he hadn't expected the Runge case to surface precisely 575 01:00:10,684 --> 01:00:12,151 when he needed it, 576 01:00:12,851 --> 01:00:14,615 right after that meeting. 577 01:00:27,810 --> 01:00:29,836 Stierlitz, please stay. 578 01:00:35,099 --> 01:00:36,499 Well, Stierlitz... 579 01:00:49,924 --> 01:00:51,949 Bring us coffee, please. 580 01:00:56,632 --> 01:00:58,863 I want to tell you something, Stierlitz... 581 01:01:00,637 --> 01:01:02,002 It seems... 582 01:01:03,301 --> 01:01:08,433 that technological progress will determine future history. 583 01:01:09,614 --> 01:01:10,945 Especially now that 584 01:01:11,416 --> 01:01:16,013 scientists are about to uncover the secrets of the atomic nucleus. 585 01:01:16,909 --> 01:01:21,518 I think scientists in the West and East already realize this, 586 01:01:21,602 --> 01:01:25,331 but unfortunately, politicians are lagging behind. 587 01:01:28,504 --> 01:01:30,028 You and I will witness 588 01:01:30,439 --> 01:01:32,532 the degradation of a politician's profession 589 01:01:32,842 --> 01:01:35,334 as we have known it 590 01:01:35,479 --> 01:01:37,845 throughout the last 19 centuries. 591 01:01:39,217 --> 01:01:41,117 To get a basic understanding... 592 01:01:42,019 --> 01:01:43,419 of the motives... 593 01:01:44,235 --> 01:01:47,454 of the people who reached the frontiers of science, 594 01:01:47,538 --> 01:01:49,530 to understand what drives them, 595 01:01:50,797 --> 01:01:54,928 not only for the near future, 596 01:01:55,622 --> 01:01:58,319 but as a long-term and serious task. 597 01:02:00,442 --> 01:02:04,846 Incidentally, what's the name of that physicist? 598 01:02:06,048 --> 01:02:08,745 Stierlitz realized it was a test. 599 01:02:09,593 --> 01:02:12,585 Schellenberg wanted to see whether that crafty Stierlitz understood 600 01:02:12,756 --> 01:02:17,126 where this monologue originated, who had once put forward the idea. 601 01:02:18,203 --> 01:02:19,203 Runge. 602 01:02:19,399 --> 01:02:21,060 -Runge? -Runge. 603 01:02:22,767 --> 01:02:27,278 In connection with that Runge, I have several interesting assignments for you. 604 01:02:28,108 --> 01:02:30,100 That's how he got the Runge case. 605 01:02:30,411 --> 01:02:32,436 That's how he did all he could 606 01:02:32,520 --> 01:02:35,149 to undermine the Germans' real opportunity 607 01:02:35,551 --> 01:02:40,512 to start developing the atomic bomb as early as 1944. 608 01:02:40,989 --> 01:02:44,721 However, later, after many days spent with Runge, 609 01:02:44,916 --> 01:02:49,115 he became convinced that fate had prevented Germany from getting the new weapon. 610 01:02:49,534 --> 01:02:52,059 After the Stalingrad battle, Hitler 611 01:02:52,270 --> 01:02:56,002 refused to finance fundamental research in defense, 612 01:02:56,175 --> 01:02:59,873 unless the scientists promised him real, practical results 613 01:03:00,113 --> 01:03:02,604 in three, at most six, months. 614 01:03:03,832 --> 01:03:06,392 That was a squabble of petty ambitions. 615 01:03:07,188 --> 01:03:09,875 The German physics geniuses were thus left outside 616 01:03:09,959 --> 01:03:11,893 the leadership's range of vision. 617 01:03:12,674 --> 01:03:15,405 Even more so since none of Germany's Führers 618 01:03:15,699 --> 01:03:18,533 had any higher education, 619 01:03:18,688 --> 01:03:20,656 except Speer and Schacht. 620 01:03:21,138 --> 01:03:23,539 Stierlitz had reported all this to Moscow. 621 01:03:23,742 --> 01:03:27,568 Plus, he added his own effort to stirring animosity 622 01:03:27,652 --> 01:03:30,672 between the supporters and the opponents of Runge. 623 01:03:30,850 --> 01:03:32,613 Everything that harmed the enemy, 624 01:03:32,819 --> 01:03:36,085 automatically worked in favor of his country. 625 01:03:39,927 --> 01:03:43,489 Now he had to win the next stage of the battle. 626 01:03:44,159 --> 01:03:47,185 He had to prove he was right in this matter. 627 01:03:47,570 --> 01:03:49,471 He had thought out his position well. 628 01:03:50,040 --> 01:03:52,406 He had a strong position. 629 01:03:58,148 --> 01:04:00,982 My friend, please report my apologies to your chief. 630 01:04:01,834 --> 01:04:06,160 I promised to be here at nine, but I got back only at 9:12. 631 01:04:06,993 --> 01:04:11,090 Will he see me now, or may I sleep for half an hour? 632 01:04:11,758 --> 01:04:13,192 I'll do as you advise me. 633 01:04:38,832 --> 01:04:40,527 He leaves it to your discretion. 634 01:04:41,007 --> 01:04:43,032 The chief is ready to see you, 635 01:04:43,371 --> 01:04:45,635 but you can postpone the meeting until this evening. 636 01:04:46,240 --> 01:04:49,267 He wants to know where I'll go, thought Stierlitz. 637 01:04:49,511 --> 01:04:54,347 I shouldn't delay it anyway. The game won't last more than two hours. 638 01:04:56,119 --> 01:04:58,680 I'll do as you advise me. 639 01:05:01,872 --> 01:05:04,894 I'm afraid he'll go see the command in the evening, 640 01:05:05,063 --> 01:05:06,792 and I'll have to wait for him till dawn. 641 01:05:06,876 --> 01:05:08,864 -Does it seem logical? -Quite logical. 642 01:05:09,242 --> 01:05:11,210 -Now, then. -Please. 643 01:05:21,222 --> 01:05:23,783 -Heil Hitler! -Good morning. 644 01:05:24,380 --> 01:05:26,746 Frankly, I didn't expect you so early. 645 01:05:27,056 --> 01:05:29,473 And I was afraid of getting chewed out for being late. 646 01:05:31,067 --> 01:05:34,560 You're all afraid of getting chewed out by old Müller. 647 01:05:35,206 --> 01:05:37,868 Have I ever in my life dressed down anyone? 648 01:05:38,256 --> 01:05:40,019 I'm a kindly old man, 649 01:05:40,839 --> 01:05:43,103 and yet they whisper stories about me. 650 01:05:43,977 --> 01:05:46,605 Your handsome chief is a hundred times more vicious than I am. 651 01:05:47,647 --> 01:05:49,673 It's just that he learned at university 652 01:05:49,884 --> 01:05:51,875 how to smile and speak French. 653 01:05:54,977 --> 01:05:58,914 And I still don't know whether you should cut an apple up 654 01:05:59,122 --> 01:06:04,720 or eat it whole, seeds and all, like we do at home. 655 01:06:11,542 --> 01:06:12,600 Let's go. 656 01:06:16,442 --> 01:06:19,344 I've got a surprise for you. This way. 657 01:06:26,140 --> 01:06:28,713 -We'll probably be back soon. -I haven't called for a car yet. 658 01:06:28,797 --> 01:06:30,424 We're not driving anywhere. 659 01:06:45,550 --> 01:06:46,983 Scholz speaking. 660 01:07:12,435 --> 01:07:13,460 Go on! 661 01:07:17,962 --> 01:07:18,987 Halt! 662 01:07:26,025 --> 01:07:27,117 Go on! 663 01:07:28,635 --> 01:07:31,627 The man's face was severely disfigured. 664 01:07:31,852 --> 01:07:35,152 But Stierlitz recognized him. It was Bormann's driver. 665 01:08:02,028 --> 01:08:03,997 It's not polite to come empty-handed. 666 01:09:09,395 --> 01:09:11,363 16 Mar 1945 12:55 a.m. 667 01:09:12,793 --> 01:09:15,058 Miracles only happen in the movies. 668 01:09:15,397 --> 01:09:19,596 And in the movies they do it on the count of three. I'm not going to. 669 01:09:21,590 --> 01:09:25,823 You do your duty for your side, I do mine. 670 01:10:11,464 --> 01:10:13,330 Helmuth, take the boy. 671 01:10:23,217 --> 01:10:26,654 Don't go away. She'll come to, and I'll continue. 672 01:10:26,915 --> 01:10:29,180 Barbara, bring water for her and for me. 673 01:10:29,740 --> 01:10:31,940 If you have heart drops, pour some into the glass. 674 01:10:32,024 --> 01:10:33,908 -How many does she need? -Not for her. For me. 675 01:10:33,991 --> 01:10:38,052 -All right. How many? -How do I know? 10 or 30. 676 01:10:44,737 --> 01:10:46,295 How long does it take them? 677 01:10:46,472 --> 01:10:47,623 How long would it take 678 01:10:48,274 --> 01:10:50,641 your sister or your mother? 679 01:10:51,485 --> 01:10:53,146 Yeah, my mother... 680 01:10:53,754 --> 01:10:58,122 Those bastards want to stay clean, and make me do that filthy thing. 681 01:10:58,206 --> 01:11:00,801 -Got a match? -I don't smoke. 682 01:11:01,767 --> 01:11:04,122 Barbara, bring matches. 683 01:11:08,806 --> 01:11:12,373 Look, she's come to, her eyelid's twitching. 684 01:11:12,457 --> 01:11:14,033 I don't know anything about it. 685 01:11:15,380 --> 01:11:16,546 No, no, no. 686 01:11:18,578 --> 01:11:20,546 Barbara, what keeps you there? 687 01:11:26,439 --> 01:11:27,839 It's disgusting. 688 01:11:30,992 --> 01:11:33,962 Is she alive? Barbara, look. 689 01:11:38,101 --> 01:11:39,763 Yes, she's breathing. 690 01:11:40,537 --> 01:11:44,030 Do something to her. We got no time, they're waiting. 691 01:11:49,782 --> 01:11:52,182 Do something for the boy! I can't listen to that! 692 01:11:52,384 --> 01:11:54,250 I told you the child is hungry. 693 01:11:54,334 --> 01:11:58,065 Stop saying that! You think only you have a heart? 694 01:11:58,893 --> 01:12:00,918 Let me take the child away. 695 01:12:07,603 --> 01:12:09,799 Hello? Yes. 696 01:12:11,407 --> 01:12:12,601 Go away! 697 01:12:14,445 --> 01:12:15,445 Yes. 698 01:12:20,452 --> 01:12:22,079 Not yet. 699 01:12:23,456 --> 01:12:25,287 You think it's so easy? 700 01:12:26,225 --> 01:12:28,045 Why not swap places? 701 01:12:28,629 --> 01:12:30,494 When did they start interrogating him? 702 01:12:31,311 --> 01:12:32,369 Saying nothing? 703 01:12:33,754 --> 01:12:37,212 Oh, they just talk like friends? Let him talk to this friend. 704 01:12:37,839 --> 01:12:39,831 And I'll be able to laugh. 705 01:12:46,016 --> 01:12:47,984 She seems to have come to. 706 01:12:49,926 --> 01:12:51,689 Yes, she's conscious now. 707 01:12:51,989 --> 01:12:53,651 Let's help her sit up. 708 01:13:02,941 --> 01:13:04,466 Bring her some water. 709 01:13:37,469 --> 01:13:41,736 You're hungry, poor little thing. They haven't fed you. 710 01:13:45,520 --> 01:13:48,490 It's all right, your mother will come now and feed you. 711 01:13:48,725 --> 01:13:52,593 You love eating, eh? Oh, don't tell me you don't. 712 01:13:52,895 --> 01:13:54,312 Everything will be fine soon. 713 01:13:54,465 --> 01:13:58,060 Your mother will come and you'll forget all about crying. 714 01:14:04,710 --> 01:14:07,076 All right, enough of that! Enough! 715 01:14:07,820 --> 01:14:11,827 When it was the truth, it was fine. You're playing your little woman's games. 716 01:14:12,218 --> 01:14:15,518 You got mixed up in a man's affair. Your little tricks won't work here. 717 01:14:15,757 --> 01:14:19,250 Raise your head.
