The Mossad would Brunner never allow escape.

Nevertheless he escaped.

If you don't deliver something soon, I can't hold you much longer.

I just want Brunner.

I would be afraid of you.

Dad had Stefan shot!

I saw the order to shoot. - No. Stop lying!

I do not let you destroy our family.

Where is the order to shoot?

There are two groups of people, from which one cannot turn away:

Will you shoot me too?

Ah!

*Exciting music*

*Door bell*

*rings again*

If I had known you were coming, I would have gotten bread rolls.

Are we talking inside?

Where are the investigation results? zu "I know"?

Here.

My report.

All information and from plans drawn from memory.

Seems like a big deal.

Why did you do that?

Why did you do that?

What are you talking about? - Stop the nonsense!

They named me one Wrong departure date from Brunner

and consciously solved a pointless one Large-scale operation. Pure theater.

and did me a disservice.

*Otto slams the file on the table*

We both trusted each other.

We were honest with each other.

And we did a good job.

*Dark music*

Would you please wait outside?

*door is closed*

Also?

I murdered him.

Slit his throat.

I was afraid. I ...

He reminded me of someone. - An wen? Brunner?

I worked for him.

And.

How did you pass? the security check?

My neighbor's name was Wolfgang Berns. A simple family man.

Not a party member.

His conscience worked, that was his death sentence.

I assumed his identity.

Who are you really?

I was Brunner's driver and always by his side.

I've seen

how he tortured people like him ...

Eventually I got

I tried the people to contact and warn.

He must have noticed that.

He was gone for a few days. I drove other officers.

After his return he asked me

and gave me a vacation.

I should go home to wife and child.

And what my daughter's name is he asked.

I left on the same day.

It was a beautiful day. Everything was as usual.

stood in front of the door.

He got out smiling and said, he has a surprise.

I should come up with you my wife and daughter are already waiting.

The coffee table was set.

And... I call for Hanna,

Then I found her in her bed.

The blanket up to your neck.

I thought she was sleeping. I wanted to wake her up, and then...

I threw back the covers, but there was no body.

There was only her head.

I called out, "Hanna, where are you?"

Then it occurred to me a mother is with her child.

I'm in the children's room.

And there...there lay my daughter.

I still thought: "Luckily she did

Her little hands were so cold.

I shook her so that she opens her eyes.

But she didn't move.

Then I found this.

He gave her cyanide.

His personal death capsule.

He puts his hand on me On the shoulder

and says with a smile:

“I have always appreciated you and considered trustworthy.

It's a shame about the beautiful woman and the hopeful child.

No matter what judgment about him is felled, it would not be enough.

Prison would be too good for someone like him.

I'm ashamed of my lies, but... I couldn't help it!

What's your daughter's name?

Her name is Karin.

Do you know what I believe?

Brunner never gets it his just punishment.

Gehlen is us always one step ahead.

There are too many old comrades in the right places,

that their kind will be caught.

Your interpretation of denazification,

good friends to get abroad.

I can't protect you.

But I also have to Brunner not protect from you.

I hope you find what they search.

*door slams shut*

Tony, please.

You are doing, what you think is right.

Me too. - Where are you going?

Do not worry.

But still grown up.

Oh right? I believe that honestly not.

Adults do not provide any such absurd claims.

You see from here St. John's Church? - What?

You don't see them.

And we both know that too.

What are you talking about?

She doesn't seem to be doing well.

We care about you, if you stay.

Hm ...

Thank you. I'll take care of it rather about myself.

Toni!

You should be a traveler Don't stop, Else.

*tense music*

This goodbye was difficult.

My dear brother and my best friend are both

even in the last days of the war

The assassination is connected primarily with Stauffenberg,

but there were many of us.

I am deeply moved, that the federal government

the events of July 20th honored with a ceremony for the first time.

in my name and that of the authority

a wreath in honor of the victims to put down the resistance.

They are and remain with us The benchmark for you too

courage in desperate times

It is also our work here at the Office for the Protection of the Constitution,

with which we preserve her memory. I thank you for that.

So we bow today full of gratitude and respect

in front of the noble officer...

This is all not authentic.

Not clear enough. What do you mean?

How do we formulate something that these traitors from the resistance

presented more positively and still sounds credible?

Didn't Stauffenberg do anything good?

violated their military oath

and are still celebrated.

Then don't celebrate with us.

Mhm.

Keep yourself...

this youthful innocence, Miss Schmidt.

How can you live with that?

Have you got this? told in England?

With all friendship, who I care for your father,

there are certain limits which you should not exceed.

*Disturbing music*

Mr Gehlen, I'm getting married on July 20th.

I would like a vacation for the preparations.

Gladly from today. - I was already wondering

why you don't apply for one,

When the speech is finished, you can go on vacation.

I lied to you. I hired the actor.

I know.

Sometimes you have to lie to find out the truth.

My boss knows nothing. He thinks me get married, and released it to me.

So, are you getting married?

No.

I'll rent a room and think.

And drink coffee with you beforehand?

*Soft saxophone music*

Just one.

But I will never do it again.

We risk our lives for a thing that doesn't exist.

Nobody wants peace. You don't make any money that way.

and have found an access option,

that promises success.

very...adventurous.

this "Scipio" secret society.

Why do you doubt?

This has dimensions that are difficult to imagine.

If government employees

I should know that. -Yes.

How is this all supposed to happen? happening in the background?

The information is credible. - How about accessing Brunner?

We have a detailed dossier.

and, where possible, confirmed.

It is a hidden one large weapons and supply warehouse,

that of non-governmental forces was built with immense effort.

We have to take action.

Good. I support you.

That was on the table.

Aren't you a late riser? - I'm coming with you on vacation.

It's not a vacation. - Despite it.

That doesn't work. - Despite it.

- Why not?

I have to do something important.

This will get you by. The caretaker leaves you alone.

Hm?

And look, you wanted to have that.

I don't want her anymore.

I have to go.

Wolfgang!

Take care.

This is no longer your concern.

They go to sleep, as we say.

You can't save him.

Who is talking about saving?

Here, he was in the SS.

Hm ...

Even if I knew where he would be, I wouldn't say it.

What did you do to him?

I can't help you unfortunately say no more.

But I need to speak to him urgently. Where is he?

- Did you see anything?

He wanted me don't take it with you.

He had a brochure for a train station hotel.

It was called "Edelweiss". And a ticket to Kufing.

The name Gretzky was in the passport.

Wa... Was? - That is not all.

Your interference into these activities

we condemn in the strongest possible terms.

But ...

The Minister of the Interior gave me... - Mr. John,

I assure you,

Everyone is in cahoots: the government, the allies...

Against everyone

so that he secretly organized his guerrilla army.

If the Russians come, she should operate in the rear of the enemy.

Against Gehlen and his cliques I won't arrive.

Do not give up.

You always fought

You still have an important appointment. Focus on that.

I have myself here made a fool of.

It will be the same over there.

What should I tell the representatives? say in East Berlin?

And we loathe it this divided Germany.

Tell them what they're planning here. Say what you just heard.

Lucie, this is treason. - It's the truth.

Otherwise the next catastrophe will come.

Good day.

How was your coffee? - With a shot.

Well then ...

I'm honoured. May I?

*tense music*

Get out, Brunner.

I thought to myself in front of the hotel, that I know you.

But in the rearview mirror I recognize you among thousands.

I said get out!

I suppose, You are completely alone.

Exit!

Do you know, what am I sure about?

That you are your beautiful wife

and her sweet little daughter will follow soon.

Come on, forward!
