Original subtitles

Let go! Let go! Goddamn pigs.

I don't want to... I'm registered. I can go hooking whenever I want. I've been to the doc just yesterday.

You should take car of the rich people first. Then you can go after the hookers.

Slow down and be polite, I have no pornographic pictures or drugs in my pocket.

Hey, hey this young woman surely doesn't have a grey card, right?

No, I don't even know what that is.

Kretschmann, what kind of job have we chosen?

Out of all people you are asking me this?

After 20 years I sometimes have enough of it.

Are you going back to the office?

Nah, I had it after this 17 hour shift.

Shall I drive you home?

No, I rather walk. Some fresh air will do me some good after all this.

Can you be reached if anything happens?

Don't cause me any trouble. It's colleague's Scholl's turn tonight.

- Good night. - Good night then.

HOTEL BY THE HOUR

Freeze! Don't move! Police!

Freeze! Don't you hear me!

Turn around! Face the wall!

Stand still or I shoot!

Send 2 cars immediately, I'm coming with them.

Double deployment! Yes, already on their way.

Finally, did they throw a party for you at the police headquarters?

Or did they get you to work overtime again?

- Say 'good evening' first you comedian. - Fed up, huh?

Tired.

You still work like you want to become the chief of police.

You've already made me overcome this ambition.

- Well, it's not really my business. - Right.

- Do you want one, too? - No, thanks. I already had one.

I made you some sandwiches.

Hm, how lovely. Housewife.

Can I have your car keys?

Where do you want to go this late?

If you want to know exactly: I'm going out with a couple of friends of mine.

- At 2:00 AM? - Yes.

With the shitty weather, icy streets and snow in April?

Unfortunately we can't take that into consideration.

You don't want to go to the demonstration at the opera?

- Yes, that's where I want to go. - You want to join these troublemakers?

Listen. First, we are not some troublemakers.

And this is not about some riot

but a political demonstration.

And second, this is against a state visit that we see as a provocation.

And it's also a totally legal demonstration.

This is where my son is wrong. The demonstration has been prohibited and that's why you are not going.

That is so typical again.

Only because some shitheads in Bonn don't like it.

You don't really think that we will be stopped by this?

We! We! We! Who are you? A couple of hot heads...

...who think that everyone over 30 is a bonehead, loser or washout.

That's what you say.

One could maybe forgive your disrespect.

Maybe the older generation has really done too many things wrong that you have a right to criticise.

But professional aggression, mob like hooliganism.

No, I don't tolerate that.

I don't want to fight with you, Dad.

But I've been a grown up for quite some time so I will do what I think is right.

I will go like thousands of other people.

But your Dad you don't take into consideration.

You for sure are a good investigator.

But can't your son have his own political opinion because of that?

Even our Chancellor grants his children this right.

Yeah, he can afford to do that. But as long as you are living in my house...

...you will not completely defy me.

And I don't accept that. That's why I will have to find my own place to live.

I actually was always proud of my father but I'm afraid that all I have now is a grandfather. Good night.

Damn, did he take my car after all.

- Good evening. - Room # 10.

- The next floor upstairs. - Come.

- Look who is here, Mr. Krulich. - Looking good, the girl from the Balkans.

Yeah, she understood right away what this is all about.

- What do you want? - Is Lukas here yet?

- No, he is 30 minutes late like always. - Do you have a lot of business today?

It's ok. No one fucks around this time.

The Johns start coming in at 10:00 PM, but that's when your friend is working.

- You know, I have to go to the toilet. - So? Do you want me to hold it for you?

Evening, Richard.

Always coming later...

I know, I'm sorry. My alarm clock doesn't work.

Buy a new one then. You make enough money.

- How was it today? - Like the Olympic Games. All fast runners.

Mrs. Schuh couldn't keep up with changing the sheets. Anna was helping her, too.

You don't have to recount it. I took out the 8,50 DM tip and the receipt is inside.

That's ok.

Oh, that guy Krulich wants something from you.

- What? - Am I his aunt?

- See you tomorrow then. - Good night.

- There you are. - Goodbye. We are full until 1973.

- I'm totally beat, you have to help me. - I don't have to do anything.

- I don't want your help for free. - I don't do anything for free.

Don't look at me like this. I'm close to having a seizure. I need something.

- And I have to stay over night, too. - What about money?

Tomorrow. Tomorrow for sure. Let me borrow it until tomorrow.

Don't collapse right here and now. I don't need any trouble.

- I have to lie down. - Hurry, room # 2. The key is in the lock.

But hurry so the girls don't see you.

- And the stuff? - Man, go before I change my mind.

Thank you very much.

There is nothing that terrifies you, huh?

Sure, if you'd be in there! Give me the dirty laundry.

What a damn slut!

Huh, is that all?

See, we missed the train and the next one to Neumunster doesn't leave until tomorrow morning.

Oskar, maybe we could have catched the bus to Blankenese.

- It would be good if you had any vacancies. - Yes, I can do smth but maybe because of the child.

...a little bit further down the road is another hotel. It's a little bit more comfortable there.

It's no problem for one night, right mommy?

No, no we are staying here.

- As you wish. - Thank you.

Mommy I have to go to the loo.

Just a second I'll take you to the loo. Where is the toilet here?

- It's right here on the first floor. - Thanks.

See, now she has a tummy ache. That comes from all the yogurt eating.

- But mommy. Yogurt is good for you, right? - Yeah, yeah you will see how it goes over night.

- Good evening. - Good evening.

Where is Anna?

Where she always is. Where she doesn't have to work and I have to do everything.

Ok, thank you. I wish you a good night.

Oh and don't forget, we want to be woken up at 6:00 AM or we'll miss the train again.

The gentleman to room # 217 please.

No, no. Let me carry the suitcase. It's way too heavy for a lady like you.

Let's go. Good night.

Yes, concierge.

It's me, I'm feeling real bad. Mario at Cafe Espresso across the street always has some drugs!

I can't leave here now.

I give him my watch as a deposit. And if anyone asks I have been here since 8:00 PM, ok?

That's hogwash. And about the damn drugs, pull yourself together man.

I will see what I can do.

That's wrong.

- Are you left handed? - No, why?

Because you always hang the keys facing left. You are a pedantic man.

- Tidiness is half of what life is about. - And money is all what life is about, and love.

You are quite something. Swarowski can be proud of you.

- He is gonna kill you if he sees that. - What do you like about him?

He loves me. Even without sleeping with me.

- If you don't let him wrap you around his finger. - Swarowski is a decent man.

I'm saving up and when I have the money I will buy my own licence.

And when we have our own taxi we can get our own apartment.

- Got a cigarette for little Anna? - Here, you can keep it.

But don't smoke around here. If someone comes in they might think this is a whorehouse.

Well, we aren't a cloister either, are we?

- Good evening. - Good evening.

A double? With or without bathroom?

- Excuse me? - With bathroom.

- For the whole night? - We'll see about that.

Room # 3. The girl will take you upstairs. Anything else?

- Maybe a beer? - Oh, yes. Please bring us a bottle of Bordeaux.

- Is that enough? - For the room? Of course madame.

- And for the wine. The rest is for you. - Thank you very much.

- Come with me, Franz. - Yes, madame.

Canisius.

Schneider here. Good evening. I'm sorry to bother you but Dr. Marshall is asking you to come back in.

Now, after an 18 hour shift? You must've lost your mind.

Scholl had an accident tonight and can't work.

What exactly happened?

We don't know any details yet. He lost control of the car and hit a lamp post.

- Are you coming with your own car? - No, my son borrowed my car tonight.

Ok, I'll send you a police car then.

What a shitty mess.

- That's right. What did you just say... - Nah, that's ok. I'll take a taxi.

That's a good idea, too.

- Why aren't you taking the Holstenwall? - Because it's been closed down.

There was a fight about an hour ago.

With the police?

Of course with the police. They used water cannons on them.

Usually I'm not a friend of the APO warriors but this time they are right.

What is this guy doing in Germany?

He only comes begging for money, so he can keep on leading his wars. And tens of thousands are dying.

See, there we have it.

Now they are here, too. We can't get through there.

Something probably happened right there at the consulate.

Let's drive around it over the Alsterbrucke then.

Ok. Hm, seems like the cops have been beating them pretty good again.

Yeah, yeah. The police have it hard enough. They have to take care of law and order.

- Just stop talking about the pigs. - I'd say you do that, too. I happen to be one of them.

Oh, who would've thought.

You have to contact inspector Canisius immediately...

...'cause of the riot in front of the opera! Do you understand?

His son was involved in the situation and he is heavily injured.

Careful.

- Straight to the ER. Heavy internal injuries. - An accident?

Yes, professor Utersen has been informed. We need blood bottles.

Do you have a light? Yes, sure.

Next month I'm getting my diploma and...

...if things work out with the job in Bogota we can already go in March.

They will take up most of your time at first, such a young engineer.

I know, but don't give me any excuses.

That he is the brother of my father.

Rolf, you are 15 years younger than me. We have to be reasonable.

Do you want to throw away your best years?

- Just resign like this? - I have two kids.

- You've been married for 16 years. - Exactly.

But I love you, don't you understand? And I need you because I love you.

I love you, too. Don't agonize me.

I will talk to him. I will tell him everything. I won't give you up!

Rolf, in God's name, don't do it. It will end in a catastrophy.

He is hot-tempered and unpredictable, I know him.

Hm, then we have to keep on secretly.

- How much time do you have left? - He is not back until tomorrow.

- I was getting worried that you wouldn't come. - Have I ever stood you up?

- You look great. - You too.

Can we go tou your place today?

Nah man. My brother is home and he has no sympathy for this.

Also, haven't I told you about this Katschi?

- He is still not leaving me alone. - But it's over, right?

- Yes, once and for all. I swear. - Good.

What do you suggest then?

I know a hotel from the old days. They don't ask a lot of questions.

They even have apartments with a bathroom.

What are we waiting for then? I'll drop off my luggage real quick and then we go have dinner.

- Are you alright? - Yes, yes. I'm very pleased with your service.

The young lady seems to be a good recommendation.

Oh yes. She is very playful, too.

Very good! You can pick me up again at 1:00 AM.

Already at 1:00 AM?

- I'll go in first ok. - I'll give you your share later Karl, ok?

Ok, get inside. He's waiting for you.

- Here? - Yes, here right on the left hand side.

My nephew and me just want to drop off our luggage real quick.

The rest is for you.

Room # 23 like always.

Mrs. Schuh, come here please!

Just a minute.

Good evening. We want to stay here overnight.

Unfortunately my wife and I have forgotten our passports.

- That happens. You are on your honeymoon, huh? - Oh yeah, exactly, yeah yeah.

Come, we better leave.

30! - Room # 30?

30,00 DM! You will be staying all night?

No, we have to... I mean we have to leave early. Our luggage is still at the airport and we...

- How annoying. - Do you maybe have another six...

Another 0,50 DM.

For you.

My wedding gift. Please, first floor. The elevator is working, too.

Yes, concierge.

You have to help me get some stuff. I can't take it anymore. I won't make it through the night.

All your German sparkling wine is good for is washing your feet.

I have ordered French Champagne! Champagne Francaise! Goddamn it!

We don't carry French Champagne in this house.

What a dump. Every ship I was sailing on had French Champagne.

- Maybe you will get it done, huh. - Maybe a bottle of Cognac?

Well, Cognac then. It doesn't matter what I vomit from.

What a disgusting guy. Luckily he is too drunk to get it up. He has such a bundle of 20's on him.

You don't have to bring us anything. He is gonna fall asleep soon anyway. Until then I will wait.

I still don't understand it although I've been in this whorehouse for 5 years.

- It's a disgusting bunch! - Who, the hookers?

No, the homosexuals. There are two in room # 23, you can recognize them from miles away.

By the way, your guy is waiting for you.

- Ok, until next Wednesday then. - I asked you if you have any vacancies!

- Yes, please. Immediately. Here you go, may I... - Thank you. We'll find it ourselves!

I have heard that you are waiting for me here. How nice from you.

How are you?

I had an argument with the boss today. I'd really like to quit everything.

Don't take any shit.

I can give you some money until you've found something else.

Do you think I would take money from a girl?

What do you take me for, huh?

What does it matter who has the money if two people love each other.

I haven't seen you for so long.

You wanna be good to me? No one will disturb us.

How many times do I have to tell you? When we are married!

Understand! But not before that. I'm not one of those guys that come here.

But I'm not a virgin anymore. Why don't you want it?

I'm old fashioned, maybe because I really like you.

- We have to get married. - Sure.

When I have enough money but it's a long way until that happens.

One should get a lot of money at once.

Shall I go and steal something? You say it and I will do it. For you. For my love.

Are you crazy? You mustn't even think about that.

I'm not buying myself anything. I'm saving it all for us.

I already got some money together. You'll see. Here, just today's tips.

- You shall have it. It's for you. - Stop it Anna. You must be crazy.

Why not? Take it, do me the favour. Please.

Anna. You shouldn't be like this all the time.

It's ok. I only need to shake my butt a little and the idiots...

...put money into my blouse.

That is Lukas! Shit, more customers.

- Am I gonna see you again today? - Yeah, yeah I will be back later.

- Madame. - Tell me, wasn't there another concierge?

Mr. Rehschopf maybe? He works the day shift.

- So you don't know me then? - No, not that I would remember.

Sometimes I come here when I want to be totally undisturbed.

And I always get room # 25.

Your room would be available madame. But I have something better on the first floor.

No, thank you. I want the room that I'm used to. Room # 25.

Of course madame. May I.

Thank you.

- Huh. - Not now.

You have changed a lot since the last time we saw each other.

- What's your problem? - Nothing. One isn't always in the mood is all.

Are you worried about something? Shall I take you with me to Frankfurt? You could work in my store.

I need money. A lot of money. I don't really know how to explain it.

But Jurgen, you can talk about everything with me.

Stop it.

Mr. Superintendent. My son is seriously injured.

- He is in the ER, he is at the heart station. - Mr. Canisius no one is regretting that more than me.

I wanna hope that. Even more so since I have heard...

...that you haven't been totally uninvolved in this operation.

As far as I know the details he wasn't attacked by any of our police officers.

We have only reinstated the order.

Yes, we always talk about order but never about protection and help.

The men have only tried to push aside a group of demonstrators.

That your son fell this unfortunate onto one of the fences was a tragic accident.

But I have to take care of him now!

Why? He is under supervision by the doctors. Everything is being done for him.

And also, your wife can take care of it.

- No unfortunately she can't. - Why not?

Because she died 5 years ago.

Oh. Well, you have to wait for the outcome of the operation anyways.

We want to hope for the best.

Temporary I have to ask you to take over Scholl's shift.

But Mr. Superintendent I'm not the only police superior in the whole city.

- You can't ask me to stay at the police station now. - I don't have anyone else available at the moment.

I have to get out on the street myself. The State Attorney's orders, you know.

There is nothing I can do.

As soon as I have another man available you can leave. Understand?

- Ok then. - Ok, see you later.

And uhm... all the best for your son.

Goodbye Mr. Superintendent.

What a swine.

Kretschmann. I always wished that my son would be more like a guy like you. And now...

You know boss, when I was 20 you hadn't thought that of me either.

- Is there anything I can do for you? - Yes, call the hospital again.

Heart station. Professor Utersen.

- Maybe we still have a realistic chance. - The left heart chamber still seems to work.

We don't have much time left. Do they know who he is, yet?

Yes, the son of a certain police comissioner Canisius.

The father has already been informed.

Ok, let's start then.

- Listen, I am pregnant. - You can't be serious.

I've been to the doctor.

You have been to the doctor... that's nice...

- And now you want to blackmail me... - Blackmail?...

We haven't been together the whole time. Why do I have to be the father?

- How can you say something like that? - Not with me, darling. That's the last thing I need.

Do something. Take some pills or get rid of it. We don't live in medieval times anymore.

Heinz, I'm pregnant in the fourth month. Something bad will happen if you leave like like this.

Something bad has already happened.

If my mum would know that I'm at a hotel with you...

But I've promised that I'll be back home by midnight the latest.

- They think that I'm at the ambassador's party. - We have been there.

- And you? - Oh yes. Me too.

You will be drunk in no time.

I mean, you've never been with a man?

- And how many girls did you have? - Oh, many girls. Enough.

Not just necking and petting and stuff?

You too.

I gonna help you.

I undress myself.

You don't like it?

Please turn off the light.

- Are you a florist or a hippie? - Don't irritate me. I'm an aesthete, understand.

Of course you don't understand me, but it doesn't matter anyway.

And now something for further up.

Do you feel something? Something honerable, something that makes things more cultivated.

Ugh, it tastes disgusting.

- You will see, it's delicious, like in paradise. - Never been there.

You are my garden, My garden Eden.

You know. I have had a lot of perverts, but with fruits and veggies...

- And now... - What now?

And now I'll have to harvest! Let me harvest your fruits.

Let me consume your sweet fruits. You are my tree of knowledge.

You are my philosophic tree!

Oh my... You little pig!

- Why? - Oh well, you do it with bananas.

- And when do we bone? - Boning? Just a moment, I'm not ready yet.

What? Do you need another banana?

On your knees!

- Shall we pray? - You have to be scared!

You have to be afraid now! You have to scream now!

I am Satan! I am Lucifer!

Oh how terrible you are Lucifer! You consume me.

- I'm dying with lust and desire. - Excuse me, I scared you.

Get in the bathroom and wash yourself. I will follow you.

Finally, that's more like it.

But take off your firefighter's helmet, I don't want to get injured.

I'll be ready in a minute my paradise bird.

What makes you think of birds?

- I can't do that, mister. - You are not risking anything.

If you dont give me the room number I'll wait right here and if I'll have to wait until tomorrow morning.

- You know that one can wait for a very long time? - I know that, mister.

She is my wife. I know that she comes here often, they told me.

I'm not going to make a scene. I only want to tell her that I will get divorced. I gonna do it all quiet.

I only need proof. The definite proof.

- You don't want a shit storm either, right? - Room # 19.

Maybe I come back later with another guy. The other guy is snoring his head off.

- Has she brought the drinks yet? - No, not yet.

But this must be her.

Yes, give me the...

Did you at least think about the children?

- Please don't hurt him. I love him. - That's some kind of a service here...

- You are a mean dirty scoundrel. - Herbert.

Leave it, Beate. It's better for all of us that this hiding game is over.

We both didn't want it. Not Beate and not me.

- But now it can't be undone and I'll vouch for it. - What are you going to vouch for?

Do you want to undo what has been done?

I have to get anonymous letters about your dirty affair and secretly spy after my own wife.

One more step and I'll shoot you down first!

It's my fault, Herbert. It's my fault. But don't make the same mistake now.

Think about the children after I failed to think about them..

We can't keep on living like this.

So, did you change your mind after all?

Yes. I think one shouldn't run off in vain.

Can you go up and tell her to come to the Cafe Elisabeth.

Don't you think it would be better if you tell her yourself?

Yes, you are probably right.

Hey, why dont you send your wife home for a couple of days. To the country.

Oh, I have a better idea. Maybe the boss's wife could put in a good word with the boss.

Maybe it's possible to move into the janitor's apartment.

Then the boss's wife could always come to me when her pussy growls.

But Franz, please. How are you talking to me?

Excuse me, I thought I expressed myself politely. I'm sweating like a monkey.

Yes, yes. You are doing it all right.

You, too!

Come here. You have to take my place for 10 minutes, Rosa.

Here.

That's barely enough for a roll of toilet paper. Cheapskate.

I don't understand why you need to know what I need the money for.

Is it for this Katschi guy?

Stop it already. I told you that I've got nothing to do with him any longer.

But he is still bothering you.

He knows that it's over for me and that's it.

And that's how I gonna handle it with anybody else who is getting on my nerves.

- Does that include me as well? - You, too!

- That sounds like blackmailing to me! - It just doesn't sound like it.

And if I don't give it to you?

Do you want your wife to find out what you are really doing on your business trips?

The elegant man does it with little boys.

The well known antiques dealer from Frankfurt is a homo, bah.

What would your square customers say about that, huh?

- You would do that? - Without a doubt in my dick.

- What's the deal? - You wanna feel me up again, grandpa.

Let me go.

You pig. You dirty pig. I gonna finish you off.

There you go, rat.

Shit, man.

Jurgen, are you still here?

Why aren't you answering me?

Kiss my ass you goddamn fairy.

- We acted like to stupid boys. - Shut the door, you smell.

- Jurgen I lost it, I know. I'm sorry. - What about the money?

- Ok, but then you'll have to be back to normal again. - Ok!

You have my word. I forgive and forget.

I'm your nice Jurgen again if you are nice to me, too.

I gonna show this guy.

How did you get in here?

Life can be so beautiful, Jurgen. And for the both of us as well. You will see.

I want my money back!

Where is my money? They steal like ravens here.

Jurgen, why don't you say something?

Murder! You are a murderer!

- Why did you kill him? - Me? Why me? You are the killer!

We have just begun surgery.

I was just gonna check on him. What does the professor say?

He said that he is in a serious condition.

But with the professor he is in the best hands. He really is one of the best.

- When will they know if he makes it? - I don't know. Maybe in 2 hours, maybe later.

Go back home. There is nothing you can do here anyway, we will call you as soon as surgery is over.

- Commisioner, Mr. Vohrbeck called. - So?

...Well, we got a case. Murder at the Hotel Ostend.

- Oh. - Ok nurse. I will call you as soon as I can.

- A girl? - A young man. Stabbed.

- Any suspects yet? - At this whorehouse everyone is suspicious.

Kretschmann, not everyone who has made a mistake is automatically guilty.

Pulse and breathing is normal.

- Blood pressure? - Too.

Pat it dry please! Thread!

Where is the room?

- Number? What room number? Where does this lead? - Room # 24.

- Where is this leading to? - Stairs. Attic.

Make sure nobody can escape through there.

- Please, don't. Room # 23. - But you said room # 24.

- Excuse me. - Why are you so nervous?

- If a murder happens right next to you. - Aren't you the concierge?

- Your name? - Lukas Freud.

Homicide squad is already upstairs, commissioner.

Good evening.

Hey you. Freeze.

- I just wanted to... - To split! You come with me.

- So you saw how the two of them came inside? - Please get me a Cognac.

Can I go now? I'm a taxi driver and I have an advance booking.

Your ID please.

What are you doing here Mr. Swarowski?

- Commissioner, I am... - Tell him. He's been with me. I'm the maid here.

- Have you seen anything suspicious? - No. I really haven't. Goodbye.

No. Unfortunately you'll have to stay.

- I'm on duty commissioner. - Regardless. We all have to wait. I have to wait, too.

This man wanted to take off.

- I'm the night porter. - Your ID please.

I didn't want to take off. I just wanted to check if the backdoor is closed.

He tried to go back when he saw me.

Why did you want to get out of the house Mr. Lukas Freud?

But I've told you commissioner. The backdoor...

- You must be sensitive. - Sensitive, why?

- I mean sensitive for the cold. Coughs and colds. - No, but...

Because you are running around in a coat without wanting to leave, Mr. Freud.
