- It's the end. - You won't forgive me?

You've made your choice. You can leave me only once.

- So we are going to part? - Goodbye.

There is a mission in the USA.

Judy is going with you. It's an order.

When you get the money you go to Berlin.

We need to find the important plans of German submarines.

Bruner is a professional in shipbuilding.

What do you want?

I need the drawings of the submarines.

What have you done? There wasn't any order.

He was a useful person for us!

It is very bad. I am going back to Berlin.

We will have to find other engineers.

Now, we know for sure

that Russians are trying to find the drawings.

Don't shoot, it's me.

We need to find Otto Buchwald.

- Do you have the drawings? - Yes, I do.

This time we want one and the same thing.

When will we flush out the rat?

We got an order of a new inspection.

If he speaks you will have no time to leave the country.

It is his homeland.

The chance that he could deceive you here is very high.

There is another way.

Let me introduce you Gunther Stolz.

EPISODE 11

GERMANY. RUDERSDORF. 1922

Herr Stolz! Herr Stolz! Herr Stolz!

Here you are! We were looking for you!

- There is a visitor for you. - Thank you!

Good afternoon, Gunther!

I am so glad that I've found you.

My name is Ellen. I am from Italy.

Six hundred thousand francs is...

Please, calm down. And I will pay for your debt as well.

I knew it.

And of course everything must be top secret.

I understand. I am so honored.

You have no idea how much I admire Mussolini.

It is really amazing!

I think he must be supported and respected.

And by the way I want to add

that we may soon have a real leader here too.

If we think about the recent events in Bavaria.

I am glad that we share our patriotic views.

Well, I... I will do everything that I can.

You have no idea how many

idiots were leaders when I worked at "U - 46".

I am not a saint myself

but these idiots were absolutely nothing in submarines.

They will regret that made me leave it.

Gunther I will send you a message in a few days.

Do you agree? Take care, Gunther.

You are my angel.

I am so glad that I've found you.

See you soon.

GERMANY. BERLIN. 1922

In a black and crooked alley the foxtrot

is crying and calling for us.

There are many loud and funny

people who are passing by.

Don't cry! They won't believe your tears!

Drink and dance the foxtrot!

And they shut the doors so loudly.

That they look like a big, ugly gob.

Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!

Bravo, my friend! It was amazing!

He didn't want to read it out loud!

It was great! Let's have a drink!

- With pleasure. - It was something new.

- Unexpected! - I am glad!

- Wonderful! - Thank you, my dear!

A glass of red wine.

- Thank you. - I've chosen the ones you didn't like.

What are you doing?

We can't be here right now. Are you crazy?

The city is full of Russian artists, poets and writers.

There are five other printing houses besides ours.

Is it so dangerous that I decided to read out the poems?

Just another poet.

I am so bored, you must understand me.

Well, I do! Not as well as your friends do, but I understand.

Tell me Are you envious of me or is it jealousy?

Yasha... You are an idiot. We are leaving.

After Otto’s arrest it is very dangerous.

Well, it is true I understand it all.

You can think whatever you want about me.

You can hate me right now.

But you won't come here anymore. That’s an order.

You know, I am ever so slowly

beginning to hate you with all my heart.

I am very sad about that. It is a pity.

But nevertheless our genius needs to have a new place.

He doesn't want to work at ours.

He wants to go to the countryside.

He will save the originals for himself

and we will get the photographic plates from him.

I see. I will look in the suburbs.

There are a lot of empty places here.

It's a very good idea! Start immediately!

It is down to us. We are responsible for it.

I beg yo let me not repeat it once again?

I am rich!

Gunther, where did you get the money?

Oh, my God! Where from?

They've helped me.

- I've got my insurance finally. - Oh, my God!

This place must be clean and tidy.

Everything must be in its place.

We are in a hurry, Gunther!

We must work more quickly.

They want the results.

Don't worry about that. You will be satisfied.

Please, listen! The place must be clean and tidy.

A-a-and nobody must interfere.

It is a very difficult process believe me.

Go and bring my equipment.

We will place the panel board next to the window.

- And the camera will be there. - Yes, of course.

Let's take a photo of what I discovered in my work about ballast.

It helps to control surfacing, diving and the changing of the depth.

And when I finish with the tank, I am really close to it

I will start to strengthen the shell.

It is better than I could imagine.

You are a genius, Gunther.

But nobody must interfere in the process.

Of course.

I will bring the materials twice a week.

Very well. We have a deal.

Everything will be great. I promise.

- I think he likes it here. - It is very calm here.

The owners are in Switzerland.

They must be watched. They can't come back here.

It is a good idea.

He will bring photographic plates twice a week.

- You will take them from him. - I see.

And, be careful.

You are worrying too much about me.

Look, I really want you to read your poems.

But it's not the right time and place for it.

Don't be angry with me! Don't be angry!

Who are you working for?

Who are you working for?

Who are you working for?

If you are here,

it means it was our enemy whom I left in the bushes.

- An unexpected guest? - Well, I guess so.

I think somebody wants to meet us.

Oh, my God Ermler! Did you kill him?

We must make them respect us.

You don't have to put up with this masked ball under your windows.

Whom do you think it was?

He had no special signs. All the labels are cut.

It means his profession is easy to guess.

But his boots were old and they are from Berlin.

So, it means he is local or he comes here often.

Your countrymen are really interested in us.

- After that incident. - I can understand them.

But it is not a reason to wait for me with a knife.

It is a warning, isn't it, Michael?

Your methods are sometimes unexpected even for me Max.

I do what is necessary for the mission.

Do you have a chance to talk to Judy?

It was a typical self-defense. He scared her.

Why does she only talk to you?

Well, because she likes me.

She took her in hands and she realized

that you would suspect her.

What are you going to do with her, Michael?

Let her have a rest.

I must find out what is going on in her head.

And what is going on. By the way, what is going on, Max?

Oh, women, women... They can be a lethal weapons,

if one leads them in the right direction.

We should have trained her a bit more longer.

What about the leak of information about the submarines?

Is it Ferrari? Please, explain it all to me.

She has always been under your control.

You've slept with her, Max! And now this stupid shooting.

You are wounded. Nobody sees her.

And our agent killed the engineer

who was suspected of being in touch with the Bolsheviks.

Without getting any information from him.

Is it a nightmare? Is the Earth flat now?

Did it turn on it’s head? Did I fall into the space?

Do I look like a crazy man? Whose side are you on, Max?

Yes, you are talking like a madman.

But I am not a traitor.

I am with my duties and the common sense.

If the British Crown needs Ferrari's head, it will get it.

Our conversation is over.

Did you come here for this?

Be serious about it Max.

I won't show you any mercy.

They want us to work with Abwehr and Gruber.

And our investigation about Otto

they made an appointment with us.

The incident with Judy must be solved.

Our reputation depends on it.

It also defends us from unexpected guests.

GERMANY. RUDERSDORF. 1922

You might kiss me goodbye.

Let those whom you are staying with at night kiss you.

I told you it is my job!

Damn!

- Hello, Yan. - Hello, Martha.

- How are you? - I am fine thanks.

It is really cold today.

I will come tomorrow and bring some milk.

When your husband leaves.

- Goodbye. - See you.

Be careful, Martha with that Yan!

If Gunther finds it out he will kill you!

I am not his slave. My salary is ridiculous!

And he brings bags of money in our house.

- Thank you. - Are you kidding?

I don't have time for them.

He's brought bags for three weeks.

They are too heavy.

- Did you look inside? - They are locked.

GERMANY. BERLIN. ABWEHR. 1922

Let me introduce you to Gruber.

Maximillian Stern himself.

Max it's Thomas Gruber.

He is our colleague from German intelligence.

Mr. Gruber is working with special cases.

I am listening, Mr. Gruber, how can I help you?

I prefer to talk about the business without any delay.

It is about Otto Buchwald.

We have information that he was connected with the Communists.

You are the last man who saw him alive.

We arrested him during our mission.

And we will give you our written report.

We want to know everything about a man

who stole the extremely important documents from Germany.

And of course we want to know for whom did he steal them?

I've already told Mr. Gruber that we will

do them a favour and provide any information.

But unfortunately our trace with Buchwald is lost.

We didn't get anything from him.

We are not satisfied with this situation.

Moreover we consider it as our mistake.

Our spy had to act in self-defense.

She should have been more careful with her shot.

She could have restrained him without killing him.

We are talking about the security of Germany.

And we won't allow anyone to interfere into our private business.

We are allies. We want one and the same thing.

Our aims are the same.

We don't want the Russians to have this technology.

Let's be honest with each other.

You are worrying about it most of all.

We need to find the whole spy net. And every agent personally.

Only then can we defeat our enemy.

We completely agree with you.

And we are ready to help you on every step of this investigation.

But we need to forget all our prejudice.

And start to trust each other.

Or we will start spying on each other.

Very sensible words!

Our suspicion won't lead us to any good.

Let's work together. And we will reach our goal.

Do we have any news about Otto?

The doctor from the prison told me that he saw his corpse.

How awful! Dear me!

But he didn't tell them anything.

I am preparing your departure. I have an order.

I need some more time to make a reliable connection.

I can't leave our man alone.

It's not up to you to decide.

They are satisfied with the drawings.

They are technologically perfect.

But the speed of their production is too slow.

What do you suggest we do?

To find him some engineers for help.

It is impossible. It is dangerous.

He will never agree to it.

We must hurry up, or it will be too late.

He is a sociopath.

I can't even imagine what will he do if we invite new people.

It can ruin everything.

I told you the orders are from the center.

Time is against us. Our country needs defending.

Agnia! I am here.

Martha, I have an idea! Wait, don't take it off.

- Look, what I found! - What is it?

They are lock picks!

- I am trembling like a leaf. - Let me do it!

- What is it? - Photocopies.

- How do you know about them? - Rolf has some.

What is there? Some erotica?

Some drawings or newspapers.

Oh, yes indeed. Some stupid stuff.

Where is the money?

There is no money.

GERMANY. BERLIN. 1922

I forgot about you in my long journeys.

When I talked to unknown people about

their problems and sorrows.

Or their hope for a better life.

I was wandering between dimensions

and waiting for a brand new life.

I missed my friends in my long journeys.

When I talked to unknown people.

I paid for my debts or wasted money.

But what did I find and what would I never get?

I've lost myself in my long journeys.

When I talked to unknown people.

I am speechless. You are a genius indeed.

It sounds like the early works of Ferrari.

- Yes-yes-yes... - Yes, it really sounds like her.

How long have you known her?

Not so long. But it seems as if I've always known her.

You are free. I've got an order to release you.

Follow her. I hope she is going to me.

Martha won't come today. She is very upset.

- Lenders? - Not because of them.

Gunther has found a new job.

What is he doing now?

I can't understand. He's taking photos.

Martha thought he was bringing money home

but there were photographic plates instead.

Oh, I see. Thanks for the coffee.

- I am leaving. - And the photos are just useless.

What is in the photos?

Some schemes, drawings and notes.

A submarine. Just stupid nonsense. OK, go now.

Financial problems and debts.

Yes, I know. He's lost his business recently.

We can use it.

Martha don't worry! It will be just a conversation.

Rolf I swear! I swear, I knew nothing about it!

I am innocent. I've told you everything I know.

Very well.

Martha, they just want to ask you a few questions.

- It was Gunther, not me! - Very well!

You have nothing to worry about!

It will just take a few minutes. Come in.

I am glad to see you Martha. Please, sit down.

Martha, you needn’t be afraid of us.

So, please. Sit down. Just like that.

Do you want some water or coffee?

Well, in fact I am completely innocent.

Of course, Martha nobody has any doubt about that.

And the fact that you want to help us to get some answers

will be highly appreciated by us.

We mean a financial reward, Martha.

We are generous. As the reward will be. Do you agree?

Of course. We pay well for those who help us in our work.

Send the second squad to me.

- Gruber? - What?

I'd better check everything myself first.

I'll do this quietly.

Martha can be watched.

And you shouldn’t go there with all your people.

Well, then. But if it turns to be true

I will lead the mission.

Of course, nobody wants to take it from you.

Chill, mate.

“Mate…?” Max!

You can use my official car.

It is in the garage on the left number DS-12.

Thank you, but I prefer to use my own.

Will you tell me what do you have in the cases?

Yes, I will. Don't stick your nose in private business, Martha!

It's none of your concern!

Sure, what can I possibly understand...

What are you celebrating?

Well, there is an occasion.

Hold your nasty tongue!

Good morning, Frau Stoltz.

- Good morning! - Is your husband at home?

- As I suspected. - What is it?

You've done the right thing, Martha.

You will get your money.

In case you will continue to behave yourself.

And follow my orders without any hesitation.

We are lucky! Luck is with us!

We can reward Rolf.

We will arrest Stoltz red-handed.

What will be next?

I will get all the information from him.

- Are you sure, Gruber? - Am I sure?

Otto has suffered a lot. But he said nothing.

And while we were torturing him those who noticed his absence

had enough time to put together a new plan.

Max, I am annoyed with your habit

of talking about other things before the important ones.

We are working together, I can't do everything myself!

Do you want to let Stoltz be free?

- Oh, yes indeed. - Well-well...

Stoltz isn't working alone.

We have the same ideas Gruber.

We will find out who he takes the drawings to.

And then we will arrest him.

You are absolutely right.

But there is a leak of information that must be stopped.

We can replace the photographic plates.

We have drawings for boats that failed in testing.

- How fast can you make their plates? - Quicker than you can even dream of.

Walther, come to my office!

That's it. Look, who is there.

Be very calm. And open the door.

- Hello, Martha. - Hello, Yan.

I thought you'd gone.

Come with me.

- Right now? - Upstairs!

I am so glad that I could get in touch with you.

- What has happened? You've sent a code red.

- Is it about the materials? - They are damaged, Elle.

The last drawings are fakes.

Either Stoltz has betrayed us or there is another problem.

It is a failure. We must end the mission.

It can't be true. I couldn't have missed anything.

What did I miss? Damn!

I don't know anything yet.

And I don't know what to do.

A new passport is ready for you.

Nobody has canceled the mission.

- What does Uritski say? - I don't know he didn't respond.

I haven't received any instructions.

I think that everything is going the worst way.

Don't panic. Go to the countryside now.

I will contact you in two days. Plan B.

I will be responsible for this decision.

Where did they find you? Hurry up, please!

What are you doing?

What are you doing? Like for the first time!

I've already done everything myself!

They've never listened to me! Never!

And I am the only man who was right! But why? Tell me why?

Because I am racing against time itself! I am looking through it!

- Who am I talking to? - Gunther!

Why are you interfering? We had a deal!

It is very important!

- I need to talk to you. - Very well.

- But you will pay for this delay twice! - As you wish.

Oh, hello! You are a vile cunning slut!

You will pay for my ruined career! And for Max!

But wait! They will give me a promotion

when they find out that I've killed the agent

who is being searched for by spies of two countries.

- Max? - Yes, you are right.

Here you are. You must eat to have strength.

You don't like Berlin.

Why? Why don't I? I like it a lot.

Remember we came here to my friend. His name was Siegfried.

Just before the death of your mother.

It wasn't Max. He let me go.

Stoltz must be taken to Italy.

He is a Nazi, and he will never work with us.

If you want to finish the mission

we should continue my story.

Yasha took care of Stoltz.

His office has been moved to another place.

The photographic plates were replaced in his own house.

We've watched the house.

It was Max. Himself. It was him.

Max is working with the Germans.

Listen to me. He's saved me.

He helped me as a partner. He hurt himself.

I understand that we've done strange things but

these have always helped our mission.

I am not a traitor. You can be sure of that.

And I will never, ever betray those whom I trust.

Our feelings can make us very vulnerable.

It was my fault that I let you fall into all that so deeply.

I should have killed him long ago.

I would have hated you.

There are passports for you and Petrenko.

You can cross the Polish border with them.

They will meet you there and send you to the USSR.

- When? - Right now.

Immediately! Just right now.

They decided to remove you.

They won't stop. I will lead the mission now.

We will see each other in Moscow, if we can.

It is my mission! And I must finish it!

- What? - You've done everything possible.

So be brave and just leave.

- What about Popov? - He’s needed here for the time being.
