Herbert?

Stay low.

No, Herbert. I can't do this.

Where are we? - Let me think.

We can't stay here. We have to leave now.

No.

We have to go now. Come here.

No, please. No.

Come on. - I can not do it.

I can't in this state of being or not being…

like some kind of survivor. - Listen.

No, you have to listen. I have to...

We're going back to who I was. - Come back.

Listen to me.

Your government has fallen. - Get off me.

It is over. Do you understand?

Honey, look at me. It is over. - Let me go.

Look at me, darling.

You have no power anymore.

Herbert... - You're in my world.

I'm the soldier, yes?

If you want to survive, you have to listen.

Take my hand. - I understand.

Honey, do you understand? - Yes, my dear.

From now on you have to think like a soldier.

Yes? - Yes.

We never surrender of our own free will.

If we are captured, we resist.

Closer. Yes? - Yes.

But if we have a camera crew can get...

We're done with that.

If my people could see me...

No one is allowed to see you. They will report us.

You have to get out of here.

China will probably help me. - Forget it.

China is there. We are here. Come with me.

Rinnburg then.

My greatest stronghold of loyalists. That's where we regroup...

Rinnburg is on the other side of the country. We are on foot.

Then we look for an airport. - They've been taken over.

A plane can come to us.

Why is this so difficult? We're taking a plane...

How so, Elena?

I do not know. Just.

What is that?

'The Vernham regime has been defeated. The land is yours.

Ignore any other message.

All services are being restored by the Westgate Resistance Army.”

They can all go to hell for what they did to me.

Shut up.

Nicky...

I know where he stays in Switzerland. That is it.

We call him and he will send help.

We have a plan. We have to find a phone...

Where are we?

Don't know.

Stay low.

Stay low, faster.

My people are nearby.

We have to find shelter.

Do we just knock? No one can deny me anything.

What is that?

The army. Herbert, that's us.

There is a curfew.

We cannot guarantee your safety if you are outside after 9 p.m.

Everyone that Elena Vernham or harbors members of the regime...

is arrested or shot.

Mobile phones are not working for the time being.

No cell phones. - Forget that.

Landline phones maybe.

If we find someone who... - Look at me.

We have to find a hiding place. A place that no one knows.

No food or water.

Only poetry collections.

I told Nicky that it's a useless genre.

Eighty words of nonsense about some willow tree.

Elena?

What?

Were you really going to do it?

What? - Make me chancellor.

Naturally.

That was the whole plan.

Yes?

We had already started.

I said it. - No, you hesitated.

Real? - Yes.

No me... - Do not pretend.

Herbert...

Look at me and say I would betray you.

You tell me.

Say it.

I would never betray you.

Never.

Okay.

Over there.

I can't hide. - You should.

I can not do it. I need to do something.

My people will help me.

Please, we have to find someone.

Hello Friend. Merry christmas.

Sorry. Was I... - No, you're not in trouble.

Can you give me and my girlfriend a ride?

I'm already late, the curfew... - It is near.

The roads are not safe and my house is destroyed.

I want to go to my brother. - Look at me. It's Christmas, come on.

Okay... - Yes?

This is my girlfriend. Listen.

Good Lord. - We'll come with you.

No. Listen...

What's your name, darling? What's your name?

Gregor. - Listen. I am your chancellor.

Don't worry about the curfew. Get rid of it.

You can trust me.

This will soon be over and everyone knows your name.

They say: Gregor, the man who brought her. The savior, the ferryman.

Gregor, listen to me.

You are provided of everything your heart desires.

You will be a hero.

We never forget heroes, right?

Do you have a telephone? - Heroes lend out their phones.

Friend, wait.

Elena.

Elena.

You can not be serious.

Do you want to help your chancellor? - Certainly, ma'am. Where are you going?

To your house, please. - Madam, what a...

This is the greatest honor... -Elena?

You too?

We'll ask someone else. - No sir.

Corporal, I'm your man.

He's our man. - He is drunk.

Get in.

Can you drive?

I am the best driver in East Ganz.

For my angel.

I am eternally grateful to you.

How is this possible? How can you be here?

Sir, is your house safe? - Yes, safe.

Very clean, sir. We toast to Christmas.

What's your name, honey?

Tomas. They call me 'the rooster', but that's up to you.

Look there.

Tomas, listen. Do you happen to have a phone?

I have a phone at home. You may use it.

Let him drive. - Please use...

One more thing, the road.

I am all yours, my sweet angel.

You had a house, right? - Yes sir.

A nice big house with all great neighbors.

It's too public. - I'm the only one in my unit.

I'll take you upstairs. Just wait here for a moment.

I'll get something to wear. Something that doesn't stand out.

Good? We are here. - Good.

We're there, we did it. - It worked, Tomas.

Well done, dear. - My dearest.

Yes darling.

Good heavens.

I do not trust him. - He's exactly what we want.

He's a perfect idiot who does everything for me.

...former chancellor Elena Vernham is on the run.

If you provide information about where she is, you will be rewarded.

Loyalism will not be tolerated.

Vernham supporters lose support.

The former chancellor can't hide anywhere.

She is found and prosecuted. - I don't want to hear those lies.

What is?

Tomas is here.

Here, these are mine. Here and here.

This is my dead mother's fake fur, the old cake.

Be blessed, darling.

You are my sweetheart. - No, Tomas...

You are our guardian angel.

Keep your head down.

Which side are those guys on?

Here? On all sides. Everywhere is on all sides.

Walk on.

Only people.

Go inside.

I can't thank you enough.

You will be remembered as the man who saved a nation.

Yes? I think I would like that.

Listen, you can't tell anyone that she is here. Understood?

No one. - Naturally.

Only my mother knows.

And my father.

And my brother and my sister and my sister's brother's cock.

Look at your faces.

It was a joke.

Hurry up. - Yes...

There we are. - Go inside.

Do you know that woman? - Who?

On the other hand. -Greta.

He wants to get to know me, she has an eye on my business.

Can you trust her? - Sure.

Tomas, darling? You said you had a phone.

Yes absolutely. He's standing here.

Would you like a cognac? Shall we toast?

I would like that.

Herbert? The telephone. - Just go.

Is he doing it? - A very good phone.

Tomas, the...

Tomas, the door is locked...

Dirty pig.

They hang you like a sausage. Just wait.

No, Tomas. - Open up.

Open the door immediately.

No, Tomas. Tomas, my love. My angel.

I call my cousin at the security service.

Goodness, Herbert. We need something... Oh, here.

Open the door.

Asshole. You have my gun.

You killed my country and now I'm going to kill you.

Open up.

I will kill you.

Herbert... - Get out the way.

Let us out.

Friend of mine, guess what who's in my bedroom.

I told you so. What? -Herbert.

Is it over?

No, we'll find a way. - No...

I'm dead. - No you're not. Stop.

I'm dead. I might as well die.

Stop. Elena, what are you doing?

Look at me.

Elena, promise me you never does this. Promise it.

They are on their way.

Barbarian pigs. - Shut up. I'll kill you.

You stole our money. Give our money back.

Herbert...

You did this to us. - I gave them so much love...

Herbert... So much love...

I will dance on your grave.

No. I... I don't talk to spying rats.

Note, the former chancellor refuses a conversation.

What is the charge?

I demand papers that prove your legitimacy...

which does not exist.

Take her with you. He stays here. - No, don't hurt him.

Don't talk to them. - If you hurt him...

Listen to me. Don't tell them anything. - Don't hurt him.

I'll cut your balls off with scissors. Herbert...

Answer our questions. - No way.

The former chancellor refuses answer questions from the people.

I only talk to representatives of the working class.

Parliament has been dissolved. - Only I can dissolve it.

The security service and the WRA together form a government.

The National Freedom Front. - National Freedom Front?

Nobody knows what that is. This is a joke.

We call your transgressions. - I didn't do anything wrong.

The defendant has commit these violations.

Bunch of toddlers. - Degrading acts...

act in an authoritarian manner, the assassination of former Chancellor Keplinger...

import luxury goods while the people live on 200 grams per day.

Irrefutable lies.

They are not recognized by an international government body.

Pathetic men... - The crime of genocide.

You are out of your mind.

Did you understand the charge?

I didn't understand that one. - Answer.

Listen carefully, psychopath. I've tried it.

I tried your crippled brain to make it right...

but you didn't listen.

You cared fungus, menopause...

and your senseless manhunt until the end.

So now...

you will pay the price and pay for your crimes.

No, you will pay for treason...

and I'll drag your rotting corpse to the people's palace.

What are you doing with her?

Take me to her.

Do you know what she just did?

She betrayed you. - Drop dead.

You have to wear the sackcloth.

She wants to blame her sins on you.

"The Slaughter made me do it."

We know the truth.

She's not in a good state of mind.

The father?

Joost knows what he did.

Put his cock in her mouth, they say. - Shut up.

But it does not matter. She is incurable.

She used you to stroke her ego and now the country is dying.

She's destroying us. Thousands of people, everywhere.

Fathers, mothers, sons. Working people, your people.

For nothing.

For pride.

You know it's true.

I thought you always knew.

I'm not your tormentor.

I don't want anything from you.

I've seen everything.

All of us.

How she hurt you.

You cheated and humiliated.

Locked you up, tortured you, turned it around and called it love.

She convinced you of an ancient one band you can't live without.

She did that to all of us.

She held us captive with her love.

That's over now.

It's time to disown her.

Public.

And save yourself.

What is happening?

I demand to know what is happening.

What we expected.

Your big ox is failing you.

He says you have his brain you poisoned. What do you say to that?

He would never say that.

Everyone has left you, Elena.

You are all alone.

You have to cooperate.

Tell your people the truth.

Confess your crimes publicly, on television.

On television. Correct...

You need me, don't you?

No madam.

That's why I'm still alive. - No...

We are committed to our principles. A legal transfer of power.

You need me to sell it.

You're short on people, little pig. - On the contrary.

Do you have a divided base, piglet?

Millions of my people in Rinnburg and the Hills...

will you and your National Freedom Front never grant moral authority.

You don't even have America, do you?

Just admit it.

We have all the support we need.

Then you would burn my bones now and choose furniture.

Listen to me. I order you to cooperate.

You can't even order an omelette.

Correct.

What is happening?

What is that?

Danger - black mold

Do you help me?

Yes? Today? - Yes Yes.

It has to be done today. - Yes Yes.

The former chancellor wants to cooperate.

Are you listening? - Yes.

This is what we're going to do.

We'll get you out of here, yeah?

We'll take you to parliament.

We arrange the broadcasters.

You confess your crimes to the people.

Agree? - Yes.

The former chancellor acknowledges her crimes and wants to confess.

We do this according to the rules.

Legal, because we are not slaughterers.

No. - We serve the constitution. Come on.

Lean on me, Elena.

We first make you presentable.

I don't want to humiliate you.

Corporal Zubak will be honest be treated just like you.

If you confess...

Safe.

Come on.

We'll move you.

No...

Where are we? Where are you taking me?

Are we going to fly?

Are we going somewhere?

Out, now.

Are you OK? Are you injured? - No.

How... What...

Where are we?

Don't know.

It's the Americans. I'm sure.

I said nothing. I didn't betray you.

No, Herbert. -Elena.

Herbert, no.

Good.

Good. My apologies for the rough transportation.

Are you okay, ma'am?

What am I saying? You must be exhausted.

What is this?

Are we alone?

Are we... - Here, sit down.

Is it over?

Then I demand that you give me takes to the palace.

Otherwise I have to go to China.

With a guarantee that I will not be extradited.

Do you understand? I need that now.

I demand... I need it now.

Ma'am, please. Sit down.

What should I say?

It's sickening what they did to you.

The humiliation.

The ingratitude.

It's outrageous.

What about now?

Am I alive? Am I dead? What are you up to?

Where are we?

There is a civil war raging, but no one won.

It's all about it.

The rebels are gaining ground, but they have no experience.

Your loyalists own the mines, the Hills and the army.

But it's all so changeable.

I remain neutral. Partisanship is bad for business.

I see that the situation is crying out for some authority.

A feeling that someone is in charge.

Someone with talent.

A familiar face.

Correct.

Well...

We have no time to lose. Listen.

No, you listen.

You're smart, but your chances of survival in the long run are minuscule.

You are on your own. You're a baby on an ice floe.

You need a buffer.

No friend or visible ally...

but a strong dike that can stop your problems.

Yes, China.

No. You're too dangerous for them.

I've come to realize that they pose a danger to the region.

Is that right? - Yes.

You should too.

The West can use a breakwater.

Someone who takes on China.

With our resources and our cobalt...

I just don't trust them. - Such a twist is not uncommon.

Not in public.

These things happen in the dark.

You will receive some material support through back doors...

to help with the war.

Priorities are quietly changing and the sanctions will be lifted.

The new White House settles...

and suddenly the old relationship is back.

What do you think, Judith?

Does that suit the new government?

It could be.

When we see changes and guarantees. - No.

Yes, changes.

What do you think, Elena?

Maybe we'll leave it at that for now. We'll hang out, thanks.

We'll freshen you up and then we'll talk.

It's safe here.

Clean Air.

There's one more thing, ma'am.

Of course he has to go.

Who? - It's not working between you.

Your problems started with him and must end with him.

And if I object?

Go ahead.

You gotta do what you want.

You're the boss here.

Anyway, go ahead. Freshen up.

Just accept it.

Then we'll work it out.

What is going on?

Herbert, sit down.

What is happening?

She...

Herbert, the Americans and Bartos...

want to take our country from us.

They want me to kneel and the face becomes.

And what did you say?

Honey, I... - Elena, don't pretend.

What have you agreed? - Nothing.

I haven't agreed anything.

They can't break us up. However?

Herbert, say it.

They can't break us up. - That's right. I have a plan.

We're going to fight.

We fight to the death, you and I, together.

First we play the game, but that only lasts a moment.

When they're not looking, we launch the attack.

Then we lock Bartos up and we take away his wealth.

We distribute them among the poor. And then...

Then we build it.

We are rebuilding everything.

From our earth.

You and me together. Our dreams will last forever.

Herbert?

I fight to the death.

I love you.

I love you.

You must be exhausted.

Yes, it was a tough road.

You can go to sleep now, darling. - I know.

We go to sleep and dream.

We'll make this all go away.

What is?

I don't know, just...

Growing old is a lot of work.

All these years.

And then one day...

your greatest fear is on your doorstep.

And you're still a child.

Herbert?

I'm glad you came.

Me, too.

I needed you.

Really and truly.

It's like you said back then we met.

'Meant for eachother.'

I'm afraid.

That's not necessary.

I'm here.

Please, darling.

Thank you.

Karla wanted to check. Do you still want salmon tonight?

Yes fine.

Beautiful, seductive lady.

Your ninth Victory Day.

Time flies.

I know.

Can I say you look strong?

Thank you.

I mean it.

Given the, you know...

What?

The difficult period.

Annus horribilis.

Yes...

Sometimes I wonder.

What was that about, do you think?

The whole...

Everything?

I staggered for a moment.

Correct.

Darlings.

What a beautiful evening.

How nice to have you here for this year's festivities.

But let's pause for a moment near the road that brought us here.

Our love was tested.

Our belief in our way of life was on the brink of the abyss.

Now we know the dark forces who brought us there.

Keplinger and the radical left.

The corrupt security service.

And the Chinese threat...

that wants to flood Europe with their totalitarian economy...

and their evil 5G technology.

And yes, even people in my own government.

Individuals I appreciated.

They claimed they were the best with workers...

but who could not be trusted.

I'm grateful that I saw their true colors before it was too late.

This way a disaster could be prevented.

Now we are on the eve of a new era.

A new Europe.

We look back from here on the division and unrest.

They weren't mistakes but learning moments.

Opportunities to heal and grow.

It's a great honour to guide you.

Without you I am nobody.

Everything I am, I am through you.

And so I bless you all.

And I bless our love.

Forever.
