Original subtitles

Not the usual candidate for a "Romeo" mission, Comrade Lieutenant.

Where to?

West Berlin.

Is it dangerous?

They wouldn't send a rookie.

I'm happy for you, son.

Teufelsberg Base.

Lauren Faber will help us in.

She's been alone since she separated, an easy prey.

What's that you don't understand, Klara? More boost with the legs!

Klara made the first team, her life is gonna change!

Hers or yours?

Hot air generates an updraft.

You're not allowed to teach them such techniques.

He should control himself. It makes things more complicated.

Look mainly in her left eye.

The left eye is a door to female emotions.

After a first eye contact, you will leave, to stimulate the woman's desire.

Opera: Mozart or Puccini. Vodka rather than gin.

Red wine, never white. Merlot or Bourgogne.

Perfume: Chanel No. 9.

Italian food rather than French. British authors, Fitzgerald, Faulkner and Twain.

She's reading "To Kill a Mocking Bird" by Harper Lee.

Take off that tie, you're not auditioning for a part in "Hair".

Avoid irrelevant details. Be ambiguous and they all fall at your feet.

Blue one.

She's gonna lie about her job, just like you. Don't push her.

Ask personal questions. Divorce, her son...

As they say: "To be credible, be convinced of your truth".

The more you believe, the less you lie.

Any psychopath or politician can confirm that.

Her husband left her for another woman, she'll be reserved about it.

Wait till she takes the bait.

If she wants to sleep with you, she'll have to give something in exchange.

Choose the right moment. Wait till she's alone.

Coffee, please.

Right away.

Your coffee.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

Excuse me, can I borrow your sugar?

Thanks.

Thanks again.

No problem.

Oh...was that my fault?

Can you bring a cloth, please?

I'll pay for the dry-cleaning.

It's just two drops.

Let me at least buy you another coffee.

It's nothing, really...

I insist. Please, sit with me.

You like Dickens?

Not everything.

"Little Dorrit" is a bit too sentimental for my taste.

And this one here?

God... I wouldn't know where to begin.

The characters, the thematics...

...duty, sacrifice...

Everyone has secrets. In the end, we know absolutely nothing.

Not even the most intimate.

Isn't that the point? That only love builds bridges?

Carton gives his life, showing that love honors us,

whether we are worth or not.

Very romantic.

For a man?

For such a young man.

I guess I'm old fashioned.

Where are you from?

Half British, half Swedish.

A hybrid.

I've been called worse.

First time in Berlin?

I'm from Dusseldorf, I'm here looking for a job.

I'm an architect. And you?

British army, supply department. Quite boring.

Have you been here long?

20 years, maybe more.

Your family must miss you.

They stopped missing me after I married a German man.

Is your husband from Berlin?

From Munich. Ex-husband.

I have to go now.

Matthias Kramer.

Lauren Faber.

It's been a pleasure talking to you, Lauren.

Maybe we'll meet again.

Have a nice day, Mrs.Korittke.

Thanks, bye.

Always late.

I got held up, it happens.

No one's indispensable, much less a fat pig like you.

When you asked me in, you had a different tone.

"We need someone to lug heavy stuff".

I also told you to be always on time.

Hands off my sweets!

About time, bud.

You're late.

5 minutes, what the hell!

How's going?

We're here. One more month, 6 weeks tops.

Pull me down, please!

Hello!

Princess! Hello!

You're late!

TEUFELSBERG LISTENING STATION. WEST BERLIN, BRITISH SECTOR.

Did you already flag this?

Yes, Ma'am.

Just checking if I still like it.

Do you?

Even more.

Shall we have a drink later?

I can't, I'm meeting Emil.

It's better then, I told you.

Kids or adults, they're all the same.

Yes?

You're on.

She came?

Yes.

She'll be yours within 24 hours.

I'll never get tired of repeating this.

Sports competition requires total dedication,

both inside and out of the water.

Parent's collaboration,

especially if living under the same roof, is a key factor.

Our goal is the World Trials. After that, we'll see about the Olympics.

Training must continue at home,

with a program of exercises and nutrition.

Personal motivation must be your

daughter's engine to reach all the objectives.

If you see body changes in the next weeks, don't be alarmed.

It's necessary...to increase speed and strength.

Another thing, and I don't wanna be displeased:

Training is a trainer's job.

Your job is to sustain and motivate your daughters.

Don't get competitive with me, it would create confusion and conflict.

Repeat after me: "Training is the trainer's job!"

Let me hear you!

TRAINING IS THE TRAINER'S JOB!

Again, so you won't forget!

We stay united so that our Nation will be proud of your daughters.

Our soon to be Olympic champions!

Will you ever be on time?

Don't start.

What the hell was he talking about?

His job is to motivate them so they believe in themselves.

What if she doesn't make the Olympics? It's a possibility.

She will, if you support her like you should.

You gotta do it, Conrad!

You got into this bullshit, not me!

Think what you want.

Our champion!

Sorry, the dryer broke.

Hi, sweetheart!

Hi, mom.

May I?

English?

In my previous life. Now I'm from West Berlin.

How did yo get the visa?

Thanks to my English mother and my German father.

We're no longer in touch.

I arrange trips for American tourists, I'm looking for the appropriate place.

I admire your interest in our kind of living.

That's not my only interest.

I got the idea back at the World Youth Festival.

I was told here they see the West as decadent, capitalist and so on.

But I also realized there was very much curiosity.

Not for the typical Beatles shit or cowboy jeans.

They were interested in how we live, work and what else we do.

This curiosity kept growing.

So I thought it could go both ways.

Plus, every tourist brings dollars.

Perhaps I am a decadent capitalist too.

Perhaps an opportunist.

No doubt about that.

And you are... let me guess... a musician?

An artist?

Teacher.

We're not discriminated here.

The Party says: "Treat fags as any other pariah around here".

As long as we keep a low profile,

we're just another part of the Socialist mechanism.

Otherwise we are sent to therapy,

so that we don't infect others with our perversions.

A price we are willing to pay,

in exchange for the dream of Socialist Heaven.

Isn't it dangerous to talk about all this with a perfect stranger?

You tell me...

...Duncan March.

You've been in all these places?

A colleague of mine died last year, because of these.

At the funeral, I looked at the coffin and I thought:

My God, it's so narrow!

He had tried to fit in his whole life.

You're doing it for pity?

How does it look like to you?

Hi.

Oranges!

Just got them around the corner and it's not all.

Smells good!

Don't waste your money for us.

I make a little extra from time to time.

Chocolate!

That's mine!

We split this.

A little bit per day.

By next Friday, they'll also have bicycle wheels.

Watch out!

That's enough.

What are we celebrating?

Hey, think of the training! Am I the only one with a brain here?

Be quiet.

We are celebrating because Klara made the first swimming team.

Congrats, Klara.

To Klara!

To our Klara!

To you.

Congratulations.

And now... drum roll... Juliane...

...you even exceeded our expectations.

By far!

You passed your exams with flying colors.

Congrats, Juliane.

To Juliane!

Straight to medicine school now. You already know where?

Leipzig, Karl Marx school. At least I hope.

Of course you will, with those grades.

The other option would be Moscow, Lars could take care of her.

Why go that far when Leipzig has an excellent school?

We'll miss her anyway.

What's happening?

I can't sleep with the lights on.

Draw the sheet then. It's my bedroom by the way.

Leave it!

Easy...

It's important to you. I mean... swimming.

Otherwise you should say something.

Same thing for me. I never said I liked medicine... she decided.

Sometimes I don't know how to talk to her... find a way out.

If you don't wanna do it, you must tell her!

Klara...?

I just want them to be proud of me.

There's no point, Gunther.

You don't wanna be my enemy, do you hear me?

Need help?

I don't know what's wrong.

Turn off the ignition.

Try again!

It's fine now.

Thanks a bunch.

I won't hold you. It's been a pleasure to see you again, Lauren.

Can I buy you coffee? Just to thank you.

Australia vs. Federal Republic, June 18 in Volksparkstadion.

On June 22, GDR vs. FRG...

Do you like football?

Sometimes.

Have you found a job?

I got an offer.

A hotel in Tiegarten. More of a designer job but it's a start.

They gonna let me know in a few days.

You know, I didn't speak with anyone else since we met last time.

Weekends are the worst part.

Sometimes I forget what my voice sounds like.

Aren't you going out? There's so many clubs and bars.

I'm not into pop music, I prefer Verdi or Puccini.

Amazing composers.

Really?

Many consider Puccini a sentimental.

But I think sensitivity and sentimentalism aren't the same thing.

The first implies intellectual disquiet, the second is just... empty rotundity.

You truly are old-fashioned.

What about you? What do you like?

Personal relations, although I'm afraid it's no longer my concern.

Maybe that's why you got divorced.

I have a son. He's practically an adult but still problematic.

They say the love for a son is a one way street,

I can confirm that.

Sorry... I don't know why I'm telling you all this.

I take it as a compliment.

This may seem a bit...

Tosca is on stage at the Opera.

I can try and get two tickets. We could have dinner first and then...

You don't like the idea?

It is, but...

Is it because we just met?

Is that what's holding you?

I'm sorry... I'm making you uncomfortable.

It was stupid of me, forget about it.

I obviously can't expect... anyway, thanks for coffee.

Matthias!

Her telephone number.

I don't know how you do it but keep doing it.

Richard Nixon's struggle to maintain

the Presidency has caused a constitutional crisis.

Sabine! Dinner!

Isn't Sabine coming down for dinner?

Where are you going?

Maybe a club, then we'll see.

Does it help...

going out so much? Does it help you forgetting New York?

Why do you refuse to talk about it?

Talking wouldn't change my mind.

It may help you feeling better though.

Dad's worried about you being too vulnerable.

If anyone asks, I'm Sabine Cutter, translator for Baumgarten Publishing.

Don't worry, I won't disappoint him.

And also... yes, it does help me.

You two need to stop worrying!

Thanks.

I'm waiting for someone, Tobias.

I'll be gone as soon as he gets here.

If he comes...

New friends?

We do things.

I'm doing some gardening.

You have no garden.

I mean pot plants.

What are you guys up to?

It's a secret.

I'm not sure I wanna know.

Axel, you've always underestimated me.

One day you will realize...

Tobias!

You're gonna screw us with your big mouth!

I didn't say anything, I swear!

Not a drop of alcohol until we're finished! Not one sip!

Gunter!

How's your wife?

I want out, Gregor.

We all feel like that sometimes.

I always feel like this!

How could I let you involve me?

For dignity, same as I did.

To protect Socialism from inside enemies.

Dignity?

My people trusted me as a person, not as a Brigadier.

Now I find myself reporting gossip!

Colleague A told a political joke, colleague B drinks...

colleague C left his wife.

What's it got to do with socialist dignity, Gregor?

Why do you think I became Brigadier?

It is worth swearing loyalty to our values, for you and your family.

What's wrong with that?

Once I wanted to be like you.

Back then, I admired your principles.

But you're way better than me in this. I'm out, for good.

Gunther!

TEUFELSBERG LISTENING STATION. WEST BERLIN, BRITISH SECTOR.

That took forever!

Do you have plans?

Nothing special. Have a good weekend.

Not the best seats but hopefully not too bad

Are you hungry? Shall we get something?

I'm not coming.

It's not appropriate.

I know it's not easy being alone in a new city but this is not the solution.

You need someone your age...

I need some respect!

I'm not here just because I had nothing better to do!

It's because I felt something special between us.

I thought you felt it too.

Lauren, this doesn't happen to me often.

I'm adult enough to know it.

No, I'm sorry... I can't do this.

Alright... I won't bother you anymore.

We gotta find a bigger house, Klara is gonna need a room of her own.

Maybe Gregor can help us.

Forget it, he's against nepotism.

Why is that?

Everyone in the Party does it.

Quiet! Walls are thin...

We also gotta ask for a telephone.
