Erich.

Erich.

Erich, be reasonable.

(Sighs) But listen.

No...
No, please.

Suddenly you want me
to be reasonable.

It never entered your mind
when you still loved me.

Then nothing seemed to matter to you.
Husband, work, it all meant nothing.

Now it's almost a miracle
if we get to see each other at all.

But you know that I'm not free.

Irene, don't start that all over again.
I know every word by heart.

The truth is you don't care anymore,
that's all.

Why don't you admit
you don't love me?

Please, Erich,
don't make another scene.

You know I've always come to you,
happy, impatient.

But when I have to leave you,

when I have to go back home,

then it's not so easy.

With such a feeling of guilt,
such fear.

I can't go on like this.

Irene.

Do you love me, yes or no?

Answer.

What do you want me to answer?

I don't know.

Really, I don't know.

Come, let's go.

No. No...

Please let me go.

I can't tonight, it's too late.
I'll call you tomorrow.

No, tomorrow I can't.
Monday.

Oh, don't look so unhappy.

I'll see you Monday.

- Mrs Wagner?
- Yes.

I would like to talk to you.

I went to your factory and I called you
at home but I couldn't reach you.

What do you want?

My name is Johanna Schultze.
Doesn't that mean anything to you?

No.
What should it mean?

Hasn't Erich Baumann
ever mentioned me?

He belonged to me
until you took him away.

What do you mean?

What are you talking about?
You must be out of your mind.

- You have quite an imagination.
- Imagination?

- Shh.
- (Sobs)

Don't shout like that. What's the matter
with you? You can't be serious. Go.

(Sobbing) I've got no place to go.
I've got no home.

I've got nothing.

Come and see me Monday. I'll see if I can
do something for you. Take that. Now go.

(Man) Irene?

Yes.

Are you still up?

- What time is it?
- I don't know.

It must be very late.

I was at Gisella's with the Feldmans.
You know how time passes.

Were there many people?

No, as usual.

- Did you enjoy yourself?
- Yes, it was all right.

- Did you see the new chairs?
- Those in the hall?

Yes, they're for the dining room.
Do you like them?

Very much.

You'll see how many other things I've found
for the house. I've been all over town.

- Isn't it too much for you with your work?
- No. Why?

Haven't you always dreamed of the day

when we'd have our house back again,
just for us alone,

and how beautiful we would make it?

Yes, I did.

But I wonder
whether it's worth all this trouble.

What do you mean?

Well, is it really so important?

But why do you say that?

I know that if the factory is going again,
it is all your work.

You did it all alone.

I was useless behind barbed wire.

- I wish now that you wouldn't...
- Nonsense.

Tell me, what have you been doing
here tonight?

Oh, I worked in the lab
until nearly nine,

then I came home
and phoned the children.

Yes, I wanted to call them too
but I couldn't reach them.

I had better luck.
I got them right away.

They expect us at lunchtime tomorrow.

Yes.

Bobby wants an air rifle,
but the trouble is Freda wants one too.

I believe it'll be better
if we buy her a doll.

Yes.
Aren't you going to bed?

No, I think I'll work some more.

Well, I'm a little tired.
Good night.

Good night.

(Horn beeps)

Good morning. Would you
tell my secretary that I'm here?

I'm going over to the lab.

This is the beginning of the collapse.

The extremities are already paralysed.

It's precisely three minutes now
since we made the injection.

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

Why didn't you come in and see me
before you left this morning?

I left the house very early.

You could have come in anyway.

I didn't want to wake you up.

What are you doing?

We're experimenting with curare
and with that new drug Deca-5.

- You know what curare is?
- A poison.

The Indians use it to poison their arrows.
It paralyses the motor nerves.

You see this lever here?

It indicates the beginning
of lung paralysis.

See the difference?

This shows a normal reaction
and that is the beginning of the collapse.

This shows the heart action.

- Does the animal die?
- Maybe not.

That's our experiment.

Our next step is to inject the new drug.

- When?
- Wait just a moment.

Injection.

The breathing is much better
and the heart action is stronger.

The effect of this drug
is almost miraculous.

(Woman) Mrs Wagner,
you're wanted on the telephone.

Hello?

Mrs Wagner, there's a Miss Johanna
Schultze here who wants to talk to you.

She says she knows you.

In my office?

Yes, I'll come right away.

What happened?

- Almost back to normal.
- Yes?

As you see, one shouldn't fear poison
when it is used by a doctor.

One poison is an antidote for another.

- I'm going to my office for a moment.
- I'll pick you up in a little while.

We're late already.

It was too late, the harm had been done.
One can't get away with murder.

I know. Good morning.
But one can always try.

- Good morning, Mrs Wagner.
- Good morning.

Won't you come into my office?

- Good morning.
- Will you take this for me?

Thank you.

Sit down.

I didn't expect you
until Monday or Tuesday.

I know, but you were
so very kind to me last night

that it gave me the courage
to ask for the money I need.

5,000 marks.

As a matter of fact,
it is not such a large sum of money

and it'll give me the opportunity
to start a completely new life.

I can go away from here.

- To you, 5,000 marks...
- 5,000 marks?

You are out of your mind.

I've already told you,
that's what I'll need to go away.

Yes.
I understand that.

But not what I have to do with it.
I don't owe you anything.

That's much less
than any other woman would ask.

You're asking for blackmail.
Plain and simple blackmail.

- Please get out of here immediately.
- No.

Listen.

There is nothing between Erich Baumann
and myself but friendship

and our mutual interest in music.

Don't make me laugh.

If there's nothing between you, why were
you so nervous when I saw you last night?

(Secretary) 'Mrs Wagner, your husband
is in my office. He's waiting for you.'

He's here? Already?
I'll come right away.

Why did you blush?
Why did your hands tremble?

Why did you give me money
I didn't ask for?

- Get away from the door.
- No. You were frightened, that's why.

When I began crying
you thought I came because I was poor.

You thought you could get rid of me
with a few marks.

You thought I didn't know
how scared you were.

You thought I would keep my mouth shut
but you were wrong.

I'm not an idiot.

Sorry, darling, but we must go
before the shops close.

Yes, I know.
I'll be right with you.

- If you...
- I don't want to stop you from going.

But don't forget what I told you.

I hope I didn't disturb you.

No, not at all.

It wasn't important.

She's looking for a job.
You know, one of those sad cases.

- Goodbye.
- Goodbye. Have a nice weekend.

Thank you.

Is everything ready?

I thought it was.

- Now I'm not so sure.
- (Phone rings)

Oh, you're worse than a child.
What have you done? Give it to me.

Wagner.

Who is this?

Just a moment, please.

It's a...Miss Schultze.

Did you tell her that I was in?

No, I didn't say anything.
I just told her to wait a moment.

- Shall I tell her you've gone out?
- No.

Hello?
Yes. What do you want?

Mrs Wagner, have you thought
about our conversation?

I know you can't talk,
so just answer yes or no.

I must have that money at once.
I need it now.

It's impossible.
It's absolutely impossible.

I'm across the street
watching your house.

Get it now
and do exactly as I tell you

if you want to live peacefully.

All right. Yes.
Yes, I'll try.

I must tell Grete
something I have forgotten.

I'll be back in a minute.

- But I thought you were ready.
- Yes, just a minute.

Just one more minute, dear.

Grete, is there anything left
from the household money I gave you?

- About 20 marks, I think.
- Oh. Well, that's not enough, I'm afraid.

Would you mind lending me
some of your own money?

- I'll give it back Monday morning.
- Of course not.

I'll just go up
and see how much I have.

Fine.
Thank you.

Mr Bruckner, would you mind
if I asked you to give me back that money?

I'll give you a cheque instead.
The money I gave you this morning.

I um...
I need some cash for the weekend.

Yes.
Of course.

May I use your pen?
Thank you.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

- This is all I have.
- I'll give it back.

Very well, ma'am.

I'm sorry, dear.
I had to speak to the painter.

He needs some more money, otherwise
he can't start on the playroom Monday.

Have you any cash on you?

A few hundred.

How much do you need?

Well, 500 if you have it.

I'll be back in a minute.

Irene, what is it?
You seem upset.

No.
(Laughs nervously)

Not at all.

I'll be back immediately.

(Wagner) Irene?

Go away.

Irene, aren't you ready yet?

Yes, let's go.
Give me that.

Are you sure you're all right?

But of course.

I feel wonderful.

Let's go.
It's getting late.

- Give me those boots.
- Oh, thank you.

You could go a little slower,
you know.

(Laughs) Are you afraid?

Of course not.

Ah, I feel so happy today.

How wonderful
to see the children again.

Yes, it is.

It's always wonderful.

Why don't you stay out in the country
for a while with the children?

But how can I?

Just leave everything
for a couple of weeks.

Ha!
I wish I could.

But you don't realise how many things
come up every day at the plant.

You are shut out from the world
in your lab.

(Sighs)
There are times when I envy you.

I think you have done
even more than your share

and it's time
you slowed down a little.

What do you mean by that?

That I don't like to see you work.

That you could very easily
enjoy a comfortable life

like so many other women do
in your position.

You don't have much faith
in my ability.

No, on the contrary.

I'm sure that without you
the plant would never have been rebuilt

and I couldn't have continued my work.

Well, then?

It's simply that I don't want you
to kill yourself working.

Don't worry, I won't.

(Sighs) I feel just wonderful.

I'm sorry.

(Excited shouting)

- Hello, children.
- Hello, children.

Hello.
How's everything?

Oh, Bobby.

Look what we have for you.
How's that?

Oh, it's wonderful, thanks.

Freda.

- Here, that's for you.
- But I wanted a rifle.

No, little girls shouldn't play
with rifles. They mustn't shoot.

- I don't want a silly old doll.
- Now, sit down.

We'll open it together.
It's a little rabbit.

Hm?
You like that?

Look how sweet he is.
See?

Oh, don't be so naughty.

"The horse ran as fast as he could

"but it wasn't fast enough and the hat
went whirling away out of sight.

"'It's gone,' moaned the big cow.
'I'm glad,' snorted the bull.

"'I really don't care,
it feels comfortable to go without a hat.

"'Maybe I'll look funny
in a big straw hat.'

"The weather vane stopped spinning,
the wind stopped blowing..."

Excuse me. I think it's time
for the children to go to bed now.

- (Children) Oh, no!
- (Irene) Oh, yes.

We have to get up
very early in the morning.

- So go on, say good night to Papa.
- Gee!

- Good night, Papa.
- Good night.

- Night.
- Good night.

Here we are!

So... That's fine.
Now, go and brush your teeth quick.

Mrs Wagner,
I'd like to talk to you for a moment.

Yes.
I'll be right back.

Now, you go to bed.

Now, hurry up, dear.

Mrs Wagner, I can't stand it any more
in this house.

Miss Marta has got unbearable.

She says we're a bunch of loafers
and she scolds me

for going dancing on Sundays.

We're not in the Middle Ages.

You must be patient with her.
She's old.

We all grow old, you know.

Well, I can tell you I don't want
to get old. I want to die young.

I hope not.

Excuse me, Mrs Wagner,
I must talk to you. It's very important.

Yes.

I must tell you
that I am forced to leave your service.

But, Marta, you can't do this to me.

Yes, yes, I can and I must.

For 45 years
I've served your family faithfully.

I used to be your nurse
when you were little more than a tiny baby.

I don't know how many times
I caught my death of cold in Sweden

because I hadn't the heart to leave you.

But now I can't stand it anymore.

Cleanliness is next to godliness
but nobody worries about that any more

and the devil is at work in this house.

No order, no sense of duty at all.

Have you had a look at the grounds?

Nobody bothers to take care of them
or even to mow the lawns.

The whole place is a terrible mess
and whose fault is it?

The servants', of course.

And who do the servants blame?
The children.

Yes.

Of course you're right, Marta,
but what can we do?

We must be patient.

Oh, let's not talk about it now.

I'm so tired tonight.

The way you live,
the crazy way you drive yourself,

I'm not the least surprised.

You ought to try and get some rest.

Why don't you stay
here in the country with us for a while?

I can't.

Once you're on this treadmill,
you can't get off.

Mm.

Do you remember
when you were a little child

and you used to tell me
that you were tired,

I would stroke your hair
ever so gently?

Only my hands
were much lighter then.

And tell me, do you still remember
how tired you felt

after you'd been walking all day

or coming home
after spending the day swimming?

Sometimes I'd sit up nearly all night
and wait for you

when you went out dancing
with your friends.

"Stroke my hair, Marta," you would say.

And a few moments later
you would fall asleep.

- Irene?
- Shh.

She's fallen asleep.

She was so tired, poor thing.
Let her rest a little while.

Come.

Papa! Papa!
Come on out.

Hurry up, Papa.

Yoo-hoo!

Wake up, Irene!

(Freda) Wake up, sleepyhead!

(Wagner) Yoo-hoo!

Wake up!

(Freda) Wake up, Mummy, it's late!

(Wagner) Irene!

- Irene!
- Yes.

Good morning.
What time is it?

- It's half past eight.
- We want to go fishing.

Yes, I'll be with you in five minutes.

Papa!

Papa, I can't find my rifle anywhere.

Freda.

Freda?

Listen to me.

Ho-oh!

Where are you?

(Freda) We're over here, Mama.

Why didn't you wait for me?

Oh, I slept so well.

What's the matter?
You look so strange, all of you.

Something terrible has happened.
Bobby's rifle has disappeared.

- No. How could that have happened?
- That's exactly what I want to know.

Anyway, the story's this:

Bobby says he put it on the chair
in the playroom when he went to bed.

Sit down.

This morning he went to get it
and it was gone.

A rifle can't just walk away,
so naturally someone must have taken it.

- It wasn't me.
- Nobody said it was.

- But it looks very fishy to me.
- Shut up.

- Freda, stop it now.
- Freda.

Nobody here said you took it.

All we know
is that the rifle has disappeared.

Why blame me? I've told you I didn't
take it. The rifle wasn't mine anyway.

We know that.
It belongs to Bobby.

Therefore we know
Bobby couldn't have taken it.

Neither could the gardener,
the cook, the servants or Miss Marta.

Why do you say
they couldn't have taken it?

None of them would want it.
It's only a toy.

And besides that,
everybody in our house is honest.

Freda, maybe you wanted to play a joke.

Where have you hidden Bobby's rifle?

I've already told you,
I don't know where it is. I didn't take it.

Freda, you told me yesterday
that you wanted to throw that gun away.

I tell you, I don't know anything.

Freda...

I'm beginning to lose my patience
with these lies.

It's stupid of you
to continue to deny.

Listen to me.

I can understand.

I know that in a moment of confusion
or of anger

you could make a mistake,

but you must have the courage
to admit that you were wrong.

Instead you go on denying.

You have taken something from
your brother who loves you very much.

I'm sure he'd be the first to forgive you
if you didn't go on lying.

Bobby is very fond of you.

All of us love you.
Why do you hurt us this way?

It's not so much what you have done that
matters. We could forgive you for that.

But it's because you are so obstinate
in your denials.

Now tell me,
where did you hide that rifle?

Down there.

- Where?
- Over there, behind the bush.

Please take Freda back into the house.
She'll stay in her room till tonight.

- She's not going fishing with us.
- (Laughs)

And Bobby will stay at home too.

So you'll learn that no one has the right
to laugh at the misfortunes of others.

Don't you think
you were a little too severe?

No.

But she told you the truth.

Yes, but when did she tell the truth?

When she realised
there was no other way out.

When she saw that it would be useless
to continue to lie.

No, that's what I dislike.

This stubbornness and lying.

I can't understand anyone
not having the courage to admit

they've done something wrong.

Maybe she was ashamed.

We're always more ashamed
in front of people who are close to us.

Those we love.

I'm sure that Freda would have
told the truth to somebody else.

The governess, for instance.
Much easier than to you.

Because she loves you.

More than anyone else in the world.

Maybe you're right.

I don't want you to think
that I don't know how to forgive.

But I had to force her to confess

and, believe me,
she feels better now.

Much better.

Shall we call the children back?

Freda!
Bobby!

- Come back, children.
- Mummy! Mummy!

Papa has forgiven you.
Thank you.

- (Irene laughs)
- Thanks, Daddy.

Come on, Bobby, let's go.

- (Irene) He's very quick, isn't he?
- (Freda) They're beautiful.

- (Irene) Now it's almost finished.
- (Bobby) Just a few more big stones.

(Irene) Yes.

(Bobby) We'll put the big stones over there
and then they'll be all right.

(Freda) Pile them up.

(Bobby) Go ahead,
get me some big stones.

(Freda) They might get away.
You get the big stones.

I'll stay here and watch the fish.

- This one's pretty.
- Get some stones. They'll get away.

- That one's trying to escape.
- I'm older. Why can't you do what I say?

Don't you boss me.
You're the biggest boss in this family...

- Shh.
- Shut up. Daddy wants to fish.

(Wagner) I've got one.

- A big one.
- (Children) Where? Where is he?

There he is!
Over here!

- Look at him.
- He's mine!

That'll taste good.

Give it to me, Daddy.
Let me catch him.

I'm so glad to see you happy.

You must always be happy.

- Good morning.
- Good morning, Mrs Wagner.

- Nice weekend?
- Yes, thank you.

- Anything new?
- No, nothing.

Um...the painter hadn't arrived
when I left home.

- Would you call up and see if he's there?
- Yes.

- Is my husband here?
- Yes, he's already sent for his mail.

And give me a line, please.

Erich, it's me.

Hello, Irene.
I thought you would never call.

How are you?
Anything wrong?

I tried to call Saturday morning

but you had left very early.

It must have been very early.
I called before nine.

Listen, I must see you.

Something serious has happened.

Very serious.

I can't tell you over the telephone.

No.
No, come to Gisella's tonight.

Around ten.
Yes, that's right.

- (Knock at door)
- Come in.

Then we are agreed on that.
Very good.

Fine.
Goodbye.

Your husband asked me to give you
these tickets for the concert tonight.

- Which concert?
- At the Philharmonic.

I didn't know about that.

It was practically sold out. Very hard
to get them on such short notice.

I have some letters for you to sign.

This is to Dr Joseph about that contract.

- And then there's one to...
- You can leave them here with me.

- Give me the line again.
- Right away.

Erich, it's me again.

I can't.
I can't make it tonight.

'I didn't know we had tickets
for a concert. I must go.'

But I told you I can't tell you
over the telephone.

I'll call you tomorrow morning.

Yes.

Er...
Yes, yes, all right.

Yes, I'll call tomorrow.
Goodbye.

(Gentle melody)

- Is it very late?
- It's almost the end of the first part.

(Music becomes faster)

I'm sorry, madam.

We can't let anyone in
during the concert.

Please let me go in.
I'll only stand to one side.

I won't disturb anyone.

(Music becomes more dramatic)

I think I'll go and smoke a cigarette.

Can I bring you anything?

Good evening.

I saw you when I came in.
You enjoying the concert?

- What do you want?
- Oh, I just wanted to say hello.

By the way, what did Erich say?

Please leave.

I'm curious to know
what he said about me.

What do you mean?

Isn't it obvious?
I'm sure you called him.

Please go immediately.

Smart, you look.

How do you like my new dress?

I bought it today.

Oh, what beautiful jewels you have.

Mm, pretty ring.
May I see it?

Give me my ring.

I just want to look at it.
May I?

You paid very little for your happiness.
Another 5,000 wouldn't be too much.

- Give me back my ring.
- When you give me the money.

Listen, you couldn't dare...

I'm beginning to think
that Miss Schultze is afraid of me.

Every time she sees me,
she runs away.

Would you like to meet her?

Why not?
She's very attractive.

But I'm really not interested.

- Come, sit down.
- No...

No...I don't feel well.

Please take me home.

Do you feel better?

Yes, yes, much better.

You could have let me drive.

Oh, it makes no difference.

What's happened to you?

But why do you ask?

Well...

Every time you see that Schultze woman
you become so strange, so nervous.

Oh, that's just your imagination.

Oh?
I wonder.

Why don't you tell me?

(Signs)

Oh, it's really nothing.
Nothing.

What happened to your ring?

- Which ring?
- The one you were wearing tonight.

Oh, no, I didn't have it on.

- But it seems to me that you...
- No, no, you're mistaken.

- I left my ring at home.
- But I saw it with my own eyes.

What's the matter?
What do you want of me?

Why this cross-examination?

I'm tired of it.

(sobs)

Please, Irene.
Be calm, don't get so upset.

No...

No...

- Shall we have something to drink?
- Yes, darling.

But don't you want to make sure
the ring is really there?

I know it's there.
Please don't worry about it.

It'll only take a moment to look.

But you're acting very strangely.
I ought to know whether it's there or not.

Well, I'll go and see.

Where's the key to the safe?

I don't know, I...

Oh, how stupid of me.

Now I remember.

I took the ring to the jeweler’s
because the stone was loose.

(Sighs) You see,
I couldn't possibly have worn it tonight.

Irene.

What's the matter with you?

You forget everything,
you're so absent-minded.

Why don't you tell me?
What's wrong?

It's nothing.

Really nothing.

I'm only tired.

So tired.

- Good morning, Miss Miller.
- Good morning, Mrs Wagner.

- Has anybody called?
- No.

And er...Miss Schultze
hasn't called either?

- No.
- Oh.

(Sighs) What terrible weather.

I feel awful, such a headache.
I hope the storm will be over soon.

Oh, any letters?
Telegrams?

Yes, Mrs Wagner.
Here.

Fine.

Thanks.

(Distant thunder)

Give me a line, please.

I must go out again.

Thank you.

Oh, it's you.
Well, I didn't expect you.

I must talk to you.

What's wrong?

- You must help me.
- Of course, darling. What's the matter?

Sorry to bother you
but I can't take care of this myself.

Don't be silly, Irene.
Sit down, I'll make coffee.

Your former girlfriend is blackmailing me.

- What do you mean? What's happened?
- Don't put on an act.

That insolent redhead
keeps demanding money all the time

and I was stupid enough
to give it to her.

I can't understand.

Why did you give it to her?

Yes, why?

First because I felt sorry for her,
I suppose.

And then because she threatened
to tell my husband about us.

I can't believe it.

Then last night
she came to the theatre,

she came into my box
and she stole my diamond ring.

I must have that ring back.
Do you understand? I must.

- Where does she live, this woman?
- I don't know, Irene. Honestly I don't.

The whole thing is very strange to me.

I'm not saying this to protect her.

Give me her address.

But I don't know where she lives.
It's a long time since I've seen her.

How did she know I was
going to the theatre with my husband?

- How should I know?
- And that I'd called you?

- I keep repeating...
- You're lying. You have talked to her.

Look, I hope you don't think
I'm still interested in her.

Where does she live?

I remember she used to live
in some little hotel.

Where?

- Somewhere in Bürgerstraße.
- At last.

Irene.

Irene!

- Good morning.
- Excuse me.

Is Miss Johanna Schultze
registered here?

We have no one by that name.

No?
But I was told that she was staying here.

It's possible that she lived here once
but she doesn't any more.

Could you see
if she was ever registered here?

Maybe she left a forwarding address.

No, we've never had anybody by
that name. Only a Miss Eva Schulte.

- Not Johanna Schultze?
- No.

Say, are you looking for
Johanna Schultze?

- Yes. Do you know her?
- Yes. What do you want with her?

I must speak to her.
Do you know where I can find her?

Does she owe you money?

It's the same old story.
She throws money away.

I'm not saying this out of envy,
we're good friends,

but she just throws her money away.

I didn't want to say it back there. She
left her bags behind and had to get out.

Her name isn't Johanna Schultze.
Her real name is Luisa Vidor.

I always told her,
"You're going to end up badly."

She's always in trouble.
She owes practically everybody money.

We grew up together.
We both come from Cologne.

We were both in a ballet
for several years but I had to leave

because my boyfriend didn't want me
to dance half-naked in front of people.

It's idiotic.
He's a little old-fashioned.

Er, pardon me for interrupting you but
all I want to know is where I can find her.

I don't know exactly. A couple of
weeks ago she was at the Golden Bar.

There she calls herself Rita Banchi.
She's always changing names.

- She has a terrible inferiority complex.
- Yes, but...

The truth is, nobody knows her real name.
I'll tell you why.

While she was working in Berlin

she got into a little trouble
with the local police.

Oh, it's a long story.

We'd both gone to Berlin to work

and were under contract
to the Maxim Cabaret.

We'd hardly got there
when the manager said to us, "Look..."

Yes, yes, but could you tell me
where she's working now?

I don't know.

- As I was saying, this man...
- You can tell me some other time.

Nice manners!

- Good afternoon.
- Hello.

- How are you?
- Fine.

Can we speak here?

Yes.
Why not?

What did your wife say
when you told her about the ring?

Listen now.

I want you to arrange
another appointment with my wife

in a restaurant or a night club.

Give her back the ring

and tell her
she must give you 20,000 marks.

Let me know where and when
this meeting is to take place.

All right.

Can I take you somewhere?

Yes, to the Bongo Bar.
I have a five o'clock rehearsal.

You know,
sometimes I really feel sorry for her.

So much trouble
over such a scoundrel.

Believe me, he's no good.

You told me that before.

Don't you think you're going too far?

What of it?

You know,
I'm really frightened sometimes.

It's too dangerous.

You've had your revenge.

And besides,
it's not such a bad deal for you, is it?

(Laughs) I wish the manager of the
Bongo Bar could see my performance.

He doesn't think I'm much good
as an actress.

He likes me to do
the most idiotic things.

But I know I can do more.

I know I have talent.

Yes?

Yes, Dr Joseph.

Well, have you prepared the contract?

Good.

If you want to read it,
yes, go ahead.

What was that?

No, without options.
Yes, without.

Yes, of course.

(Signs)

The... Dr Joseph,
it's too complicated over the telephone.

I'll come and see you.

Yes, I'd better read it myself.

No, I can't today.
I'm too busy.

Can I see you tomorrow?

Well, about 11.

Fine.
Goodbye.

- Did anybody call while I was phoning?
- (Miss Miller) 'No. No one.'

Come in a minute, will you?

Hasn't that Miss Schultze...
Has she called back yet?

I've already told you, Mrs Wagner,

she called
five minutes before you got to the office.

Yes, I know that,
but didn't she leave any message?

No.

All right.
Thank you.

'Mrs Wagner, your husband says
he's going to the commissary

'and will you join him there.'

Yes, I'm coming right away.

305 is of a long duration
because it wears extremely slowly.

We must reconstruct the molecule

and substitute the alkali group
with an aromatic circle.

We must interrupt it
and start all over again.

Good morning.

Please go right ahead.

Professor Wagner,

think of the countless experiments
culminating in Ehrlich's 606 preparation

intended to free humanity
from a terrible scourge,

and think how very dangerous
narcosis is even today.

If we are successful
in discovering this medium,

we will have eliminated every obstacle
that hinders the progress of surgery.

I believe that we should try
to stick to fundamentals.

Our experiments have reached a territory
between life and death.

If we could only
discover these boundaries,

then we could make
great strides forward.

- Are you still on the same experiment?
- No.

Perhaps we should examine
the change in the molecule.

On the other hand,
it might prove too dangerous.

- I would say too toxic.
- Yes, it's very poisonous.

It will have to be employed
with extreme caution.

This morning, before you got to the lab,
I made the experiment.

I was able to prove that, after
the usual paralysis of the extremities,

there was a distinct slowing up
of respiration in the animal.

Suddenly it was shaken by convulsions

and the head slumped over.

Evidently the poison had reached
the higher limit of the spinal marrow.

Then the heartbeat slowed down
almost to a standstill, like before.

A respiratory paralysis.

And the animal died.

Without pain?

- Yes.
- Of course.

At this point pain no longer matters.

(Woman) 'Mrs Wagner
is wanted on the telephone.'

I'm sorry.

Have you been to the jeweler’s?

Yes, the ring will be ready tomorrow.

Hello?

(sighs) So it's you.

I'm not going to stand for this any longer.
When can I see you?

Yes.
Yes, anything you say.

Can you come to Die Kleinen Fische?

Fine.

Yes, yes.

I'll expect you there tonight at...
at 11 o'clock.

(Man reciting poem in German)

Mrs Wagner.

- This way, please.
- Have you got my ring?

- Have you got the money?
- Yes.

What will you have, ladies?

What would you like to drink?

- I'll have a brandy.
- Whisky for me.

- Give me the money.
- No. Not one cent.

If you think I haven't got the ring,
here it is.

(Jaunty music)

Now will you give me the money?

No, and I don't care what you do.

What you are asking for is impossible.

I could never get... I could never get
that much money without being found out.

Will you please give me my ring?
Immediately.

- No.
- Believe me, you are going too far.

If you don't give me back my ring
right away, I'll...

What?
You'll kill me?

Give me back my ring
or I'll go to the police.

(Laughs)

Come on, now.
Hurry up.

I'll have you arrested for blackmail.

- You haven't the courage.
- You'll see.

I've nothing more to lose.

You've gone too far, Luisa Vidor.

Much too far.

You and the one who made you do it.

The one who is now enjoying
this little joke with you.

Wait a minute. Please.
Let me explain, will you?

You have explained enough.
Now I'll do the talking.

But you don't understand me.

It was your husband
who asked me to do it.

What do you mean?

I don't know how I can tell you.

Tell me?
What?

You see,
when I found out about you and Erich,

I went to your husband
and I told him everything

because I was unhappy and desperate

and I still hoped I could get Erich back.

I know it was my fault.
I know.

But everything after that
was your husband's idea.

He was the one
who made me blackmail you.

I can't believe it.

But it's true.

He even asked me
to take the ring from you

and he made me come here tonight.

- What happened?
- I told her everything.

(sobs)

- (Horn beeps)
- (Man) Just a minute.

Who is it?

It's me.
Good evening.

- Open, please. I must go to my office.
- Certainly, Mrs Wagner. Right away.

Finsterwald 327.

This is 85...2349.

Thank you.

(Phone rings)

Hello?
Marta.

Yes, Marta.
I'm sorry if I woke you up.

I only wanted to know
how the children are.

What did they do today?

Oh, yes?

(Laughs faintly)

Listen, tomorrow morning
when the children wake up,

you must take them in your arms.

You must tell them...

You must tell them how much...
how much I love them.

So very, very much.

(Sobs) No.
No, Marta, nothing.

Nothing's wrong.

It's only very late.

I don't know
when I can come and see you.

Marta.

Can you hear me?

Stay with them.
Always.

As you always stayed with me.

Goodbye.

(Signs)

Oh...

(Signs)

(sobs)

(Gas-PS)

(sobs)

(Wagner) Irene!

No...
No...

- Irene.
- No...

Forgive me.

Forgive me.

I couldn't tell you.
I couldn't.

I love you.

Oh, I love you.
I love you.

I love you.
Oh...

(Signs)
