She had another stroke and died, it happens.

Teufelsberg is still the target, through Sabine Cutter.

Her father is a big shot of NSA.

I met someone from the West, it's my only chance.

I wanna help with the tunnel. - Who told you about it?

He won't talk.

Please, let me speak to someone!

You must not be ashamed of what's happening to your body.

Everything will be back to normal, in the meantime not a word to your father... I mean it.

Find a way into her house and a good place for the bugs.

Is it just a hobby, or... - It's my job and my passion.

You're lucky to have a job that's also your passion.

JUNE 22, 1974

IN THE WORLD CUP, THE PRESTIGIOUS FRG TEAM PLAYS AGAINST THE AMATEUR GDR.

GDR is playing an offensive match, although Beckenbauer and Overath...

...are way more elegant than Hansi Kreische and the other FRG midfielders.

The game is still open...

Go for it! - No way! I can't believe it!

The counterattack by Martin Hoffmann...

...then by Sparwasser, both GDR forwards...

Why the hell he's not sending Netzer in?

Sparwasser is free to advance, he passes to Hoffmann, Berti Vogts controls him...

...he looks for space on the left...

Hello, is Sabine home?

We met last night, she left this in my car.

I'll give it to her. - Thanks.

I gotta go back, I'm listening to the game on the car radio.

Wouldn't you rather watch it?

If it's not a problem... - Come on in.

GDR players keep the ball in their half...

Sabine, I think you know this young man. - Hello.

Hi. - You left this in his car.

I thought I'd lost it while dancing, you didn't have to.

No problem at all. - No introductions?

Sorry, he's Oskar. You met my father.

My sister Isabella and her husband.

Preston, a family friend. - Hi.

My mother. - Nice to meet you.

Hello.

Have a seat. - Thanks. So, no score yet?

We had chances, M�ller is always alone.

Isn't Overath playing?

They both made it to the next round, who cares who wins?

It's not your average match, this is historic.

Come on now! We can't lose against these amateurs!

16 meters... ball to Cullmann...

...head pass, but M�ller is too slow.

Croy gets the ball and passes to Hamann...

Go! Go! Go! Hit that stuck-up bastard!

Good game so far by GDR.

Let's hope we'll have something to celebrate all together.

Come on, Hamann! Shoot!

Sparwasser... Sparwasser... goal!

J�rgen Sparwasser of Magdeburg!

Goal! Goal!

A goal by Sparwasser.

With 12 minutes to go, FRG just scored in Hamburg Volkspark Stadium.

This is indeed an historic event.

And here's the end of the game, ladies and gentlemen. GDR players are on the field celebrating.

God, this was a blow!

Our boys were too confident, they thought they'd won before playing.

What arrogance.

I'm a photographer.

What kind of photographs? - Mostly studio stuff: portraits, catalogues...

What I'd really love is photojournalism.

For Spiegel, Time, Life Magazine... that's my dream.

Follow your dreams you want them to come true.

Even if sometimes it's selfish. - Right.

I left Frankfurt 'cause I thought I'd have better chances here.

Did you find something? - Not yet.

I know someone at the Spiegel, I could make a call.

That'd be great but I need a portfolio ready first, not to go empty-handed.

You know where to find me.

Impressive gallery.

As you said... when people pose for a photograph, it's not reality... it's made up.

You have good memory. - For certain things.

Are you lost? - The toilet...?

Drowning your sorrow? - That's right.

Did you find the toilet? - I'm doing a bit of espionage.

The exact moment I was talking about, you see it right there.

They say parents take the best pictures of their children...

...'cause they know them best, they know the moment.

That wasn't taken by my parents. - Whoever it was... he got the same result.

I better go now, I don't wanna disturb. - I would tell you if you did.

Got everything? - Yes.

What about all the rest? - It'll be brought away and sold.

I forgot something.

Yes?

My first report... better yet, reports. Quite a few.

Did you see the game? Our great victory? - I did, yes.

3 colleagues, 2 neighbors, my dad's barber and my brother-in-law.

"Subversive propaganda"... what you mean exactly? - Like jokes... making fun of Socialism.

Here...

It's Stigles, from maintenance. The man with only one eye...

"Question: why GDR toilet paper is so rough? Answer: so every last German turd will become red."

Also this, from my sister's husband.

"Wanna hear a cool political joke? - Watch out, I'm a policeman. - Don't worry, I'll tell it veeery slow..."

I'll send this through. - If you need more details, I have them. Anything.

What happened? - Close the door.

Come to daddy. Yes... good bird, come here.

That means he's healed. - It means our work is done.

Maybe he's still too weak. - He's not. Go home, little one!

Hey, you two! Have I missed something?

"For top performances honoring GDR". - A medal for picking up trash.

Yea... like I'm back from in Vietnam.

What did the doctor say?

Klara, warm up the potatoes and set the table, please.

I didn't see the doctor. I spoke with other moms, it's happening to their daughters too.

It's a reaction to training, it'll pass with time. - With time?

A couple of weeks... is this clean? - Does dad know yet?

You didn't tell him...

Keep your mouth shut and stay out of it!

It's a great chance for Klara, she deserves it and I won't let anyone ruin it!

Not you, not your father, no one!

Do you understand? Say it!

I understand.

BAKERY

Hello?

What are you doing?!

Let go of me idiots!

He's clean. - Alright, you had enough fun.

We dig at night, 6 hours shifts.

That's the border. We are here.

Here's the canal going west, there's a barbed-wire fence there.

There's only a 30 centimeters hole. - We gotta go under it to cross.

Better two hours in the sewer than a lifetime in shit.

What about the debris? - We spread it around from the truck. Six hours.

STASI TEMPORARY DETENTION CENTER. EAST BERLIN, HOHENSC�NHAUSEN.

Please! What did I do wrong?

Willy you tell me something already?

Quiet!

Stay in position! Hands on your chest!

TEUFELSBERG LISTENING STATION. WEST BERLIN, AMERICAN SECTOR.

More phone traffic between Ledl and N�man, under "Little Service".

Plus calls with two more.

Eric Gerscher and Kurt Mausler.

They discuss recruiting a net of informers throughout West Germany, Europe and US.

Some kind of counter-intelligence unit. - For what purpose?

To undermine the social-democrats, Brandt's politic with Soviets.

You think the CDU* is funding this? (*Christian-Democratic Union of Germany)

An operation this size? It's out of their league.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking? - The "Birdseye Connection".

The State Department's funding it? What... and Nixon is in on it?

What did the Brits pick up? - Nothing on the wire.

What they don't know can't hurt them. - Shall I set up a secure line with Fort Meade?

Follow the money, that way we'll know what we're dealing with.

In the meantime, it's confidential.

If it gets out we're eavesdropping on our allies...

...our international relations will fall apart like a cheap watch.

Come with me!

Hands under your thighs.

Can I call you Tobias?

Let's speak frankly, we want you to help us.

You're willing to do it, aren't you?

You've been here for...?

Your mother is probably worried.

We wanna send you back home as soon as possible.

I've been doing that since I was 15.

You have no boyfriend currently, do you, Tobias?

Your sexual orientation doesn't concern me but what does your father think about it?

Does he accept it?

We don't talk about it. - He doesn't know you're a faggot?

What do you talk about then?

Nothing, each one has his own life.

I'm sorry to hear that.

It appears your dad's car has a higher mileage than it should have.

Can you explain why? Hands under your thighs, Tobias.

He works at Polygraph Reprotechnik, right?

His shift ends at 6pm but 2 nights out of 5 he comes home at midnight.

Maybe you can tell us what's he doing in those nights.

Extra hours?

Not according to his foreman. He must have been going somewhere, meeting with someone.

You live in a small house. Your room is just next to his, right?

You must have heard what he tells your mother when he comes home late. - No.

Tobias... it could be so easy.

Listen... if you can't help us, or you won't...

...I'm gonna have to send for your mother.

Sleep on it.

21.

Do you pick her up from home? - We'll meet at the movies.

Try with "Last Tango in Paris". Why not, it might encourage her.

It's important to bug Cutter's office, most info go through there.

Be careful though, after Guillaume he'll be on his toes.

If you're too vague, he'll be diffident. If you get too specific, you'll dig your own grave.

Win her mother's trust, make her your ally.

All mothers dream of a nice wedding for their daughters.

Play your cards right and you'll conquer her.

19. Again.

Don't be hasty with the daughter. No tongue on the first kiss.

Slide your hands softly, make her want you.

Why don't you write it down?

I don't need no instruction manual.

This is how we work: I speak, you listen and put into practice.

Go on.

"DON'T LOOK NOW"

The first time I saw you you were sitting there with someone.

Two beers. - Thank you.

With a woman. - You have good memory. - For certain things.

It was the pain that confused him, right? The movie... Donald Sutherland...

He thought the midget with the red coat was his daughter.

He was no longer thinking rationally. - He saw what he wanted to see.

He simply wasn't over his loss.

My mother and my twin sister died when I was a few months old.

A hit and run, I don't even remember them.

You don't miss someone you never knew.

Do you ever wonder how they would be like if they were still alive?

My father has a picture of them in the kitchen. It's kinda like they've always been there.

People think bravery belongs to heroes but you need it also in your daily life.

Simply to overcome something bad, like for my father.

I love this song.

In New York... were you working or...? - University. Columbia, like my father.

The person who took that picture was... - My boyfriend... ex-boyfriend.

My family too gave me that look when I got back.

They kept me like under glass.

I was missing something.

Someone who truly loved me. A love unconditional and unique.

One day I told him I had doubts.

He saw wedding as a compromise. He believed passion would've normally decreased in time.

It wasn't enough for you.

He killed himself.

He took a bunch of pills one month after I had left him.

What did you say?

The presence of a person is still there even if the person is gone.

Mom's already out?

I have something to tell you.

Did I do something?

Take off the sweater.

I couldn't do it, Klara. I had to tell him.

It's better now... really, it's gone. - I wanna see.

Don't make me do it.

Turn around.

Those marks? - Mom shaved me.

She no longer gets her period. It's true.

Get dressed.

What kind of a mother are you?!

It's just her training vitamins, her body needs to get used to it.

It's happening to the other girls too!

Wait, Conrad! What you wanna do?

What you should have done if you were a decent mother!

After the trials she'll be back to normal! It's what she wants, just ask her!

Can I help you? - I'm Klara Weber's father.

Ah, yes. Have a seat.

I must say she's making great strides, she's ready for the trials.

These great strides you talk about...

...what do we owe 'em to? Training?

Or the so called "vitamins" you're giving her?

All parents are aware of the use of vitamins to balance the lack of fruits and vegetables.

I know what happens here! My daughter's body is the evidence!

At her age, changes are normal... - Changes?!

Your daughter isn't fully developed. To obtain the necessary attitude, we need to accelerate that.

By giving her poison?? - Side effects are temporary.

Many girls would give everything to be in your daughter's place and they have parents' support.

Elite sport, comrade Weber, is the basis for international acknowledgement of GDR.

Don't lecture me, Mr. Dunst!

I won't exchange my daughter's health for a gold medal, am I being clear?!

There'll be consequences, Mr. Weber! This is not over, believe me!

Where is she? - Upstairs, with your brother.

It's over, isn't it? - You left me no other choice.

How could you allow this, Gita? - You feel better in the role of "worried dad"?

You barely see her, you only care for Juliane.

She was trying to catch your attention.

Mom?

Now I'm the one who's gotta fix that. - I'll tell her.

You've done enough for today.

Shit, the present!

You must not bring any more stuff over, Duncan. We can't take a risk now. - Why?

Don't ask.

The less you know, the better.

I found a way out.

I'll be on the west side in a month or two. We'll be together.

That's why you're studying English. - Yes.

Imagine... no more hiding, no more crossing the border at night.

No more teaching all those ideological Party lies for me.

I'm so tired, after all these years.

Next stop, all the places that were only names in my head... London! Liverpool!

The Empire State Building, the pyramids, the Red Sea!

I'll see them finally, with just a shitty passport, like you!

What if they catch you? You'll be locked up for years.

They might even kill you!

How would I feel knowing that it's all my fault?

Don't give yourself too much credit. - I was only saying...

What were you saying?

You don't want me there? I'd embarrass you with my eastern ways?

Perhaps they also turn you on... a quickie in the "other" Germany.

Then off to brag about your eastern faggot.

That's total crap and you know it. - Oh yeah?

What freedom is... true freedom... you understand it only when it's taken away.

All you think about is running away. That's what happens to me, every day... minute... second!

What the fuck do you know?!

How could I think this would work... - Axel, calm down...

Let go of me!

I will decide.

I wanna talk!

You interrupted my meal, I hope it's for a good reason, Tobias.

Where were we?

Ah, yes... your father's night trips. - I told you I know nothing about that.

There's something else I know... which you'll find extremely interesting.

I overheard a conversation, in the Schoppenstube bathroom. It was about a tunnel.

Names? - I didn't know them

I was in a booth, I couldn't see them. I only heard them.

Where is this tunnel?

Bargmann's bakery, in Schachhauserstra�e.

Can I go now?

Stop!

Head down.

Hop on!

Go!

Move!

-VEB- MEAT PACKING.

Hello, it's Oskar Fischer. Is Sabine home? - Yes, one second.

Sabine, it's Oskar! How are you? - Good, thanks. And you?

Always working. Drop by some time. - Ok.

I was thinking of you.

Tell him to come over for dinner next Friday.

Mom wants you over for dinner... you don't have to. - I'd love to.

We can go somewhere afterwards, if you like. Just me and you.

See you on Friday. - Ok, see you Friday.

I'm in. - You were right, you need no manual... even I am turned on.

Here. Practice makes you perfect.
