Original subtitles

The Donatsch family. My father leases the farm to them.

You took my child away from me!

A war whore? That's you.

They're looking for someone to start the revolution in Russia.

- His name is Lenin. - They want to meet you in Zurich, Lenin.

Nut safe. I'm coming to Davos.

- Princess Belova. - You work for the Ochrana?

- For the tsar's secret police? - Yes. The tsar.

The tsar is the common enemy.

You don't even know who gave your name to the police. Vreni Donatsch.

The secret service won't let you go.

But I'll give you the money to start a new life with your Elli.

- You're evil, Countess. - The world is evil.

The Grand Council was attacked.

Put your hands on your knees.

His condition is critical.

- Max Horowitz. - Don't make a sound.

Keep going!

It is about my daughter.

You have a child?

I want to quit, get away from here.

Are you coming along?

INSPIRED BY TRUE EVENTS

I want to go to New York to study.

Study? I thought you wanted to be with me?

With you and Elli.

I need my passport.

As soon as I have Elli, we have to be fast.

Let's not waste any time.

Johanna?

Where have you been all night?

There is news: The professor saved the life of Thanner.

But he is paralyzed. And he will remain so.

Don't leave.

I'll tell you where Elli is.

- She's with the Donatsch family! - I know!

What?

How come?

Why do you think Elli is with them?

Because you want to control everything.

Because I want her to be doing well.

Someone has to keep the family together.

I talked father into it.

I did not choose this.

But I know...

If our mother were still alive, she would have done the same.

Stay here. With us.

We'll find a solution for Elli.

Johanna, we need you.

I need you.

I am sorry.

It's too late for that.

Doctor.

Belova's men intercepted a telephone conversation

between Lenin and Kohlmann.

Kohlmann knows where the Germans meet Lenin.

What is Kohlmann doing out here?

He broke away from the Germans.

I've been looking for him all over the place.

His colleagues told me that he still has a score to settle here. Come on!

- Georg. - Shut up.

- Georg. - I told you to shut up!

Georg, I'm sorry I betrayed you.

You can take everything, but please let me give Elli her bottle.

Please.

Georg. Georg!

You're smoking again.

- Since when do you cough up blood? - Where were you yesterday?

The phone call with Lenin was part of your mission!

Thanner underwent emergency surgery.

As his fianc�e, I couldn't leave.

My passport?

That's why I'm here, you were going to give it to me.

Yes. That was yesterday.

Before you blew the mission and betrayed us to Mangold.

- What? - Don't lie to me!

You were seen leaving the sanatorium with Mangold.

Mangold has confessed to spying for the other side.

Where is he?

Where is Mangold?

What do you know about Lenin?

Do you know about the location of our meeting?

Mangold, for whom did the Russian spy take the photographs?

Who took charge after Taylor's death?

It's not what you think.

We were going to leave with Elli.

- We had nothing to do with it. - Mangold is a spy, you can't trust him.

He discovered me when I was searching his room. He could have killed me but didn't.

- How long have you known about him? - I saw him at the mine.

I did not betray you!

I can handle betrayal.

What you have accomplished is worse.

I was ready to give you everything and what do you do?

You lie to me and I don't notice it.

Countess, it's not like that!

In the last 20 years, I have done nothing without knowing exactly why.

You must never get emotionally involved.

That's the only way to survive. And then you came.

We'll see if Mangold tells me the same story.

He won't talk. Not to you.

We have it in our hands, Johanna, to change the course of history.

I won't die in vain because you fell in love with a traitor.

A spy of the tsar was watching us.

Develop the film.

One way or another, we'll find out

who's pulling the strings in the background.

If I can prove to you that we didn't betray you,

promise me that you'll let me go with Elli and Mangold.

I promise you he'll live through the day.

And that's a lot already.

Belova's ball.

Johanna.

How are you?

I am so sorry.

Come and visit me sometime.

Yes... I would be very glad.

Go. I am tired.

Up you go!

Didn't I tell you to keep your hands off Johanna?

She told me that you want to go away together.

That you love each other.

We both know that you never intended to have a happy

family life with Johanna, don't we?

You would have tried to get her to betray all of us.

In your world, that may be so.

My world is war. Just like yours, just like Johanna's.

Who is leading the mission against Lenin on your side? Talk.

How naive do you think I am?

Now you're putting me on the spot, doctor.

How should I answer you?

If you remain silent, you will be executed for treason.

But if you talk, you will only be locked up.

And after the war, we will lobby the emperor for your pardon.

What happens to Johanna?

What happens to Johanna? My God, you fool.

You really have feelings for her.

So you are naive after all.

Johanna, Johanna, Johanna, Johanna, Johanna.

Do you still not see it?

She always told you about her child and that she does everything for it.

But there is no child at all.

Our good angel lied to your face.

She is extremely talented, isn't she?

She handed you over to me when she was no longer in your power.

Think about my offer.

The meeting with Lenin will take place.

The Bolsheviks will lead Russia out of the war.

Germany will win this war.

Lenin is already on his way to Davos.

Kohlmann, Kohlmann, Kohlmann.

Where do the Germans want to meet with this Lenin?

Who are the German agents?

I'm not a rat like Vreni.

I die for a great cause.

Comrade Kohlmann. He's dying for a great cause.

Wonderful? Isn't it?

You know, with Germans it's the most fun for me.

This evening.

These photographs were secretly taken at Belova's ball.

Political dignitaries in company of whores.

The rulers can be blackmailed with these photos.

Belova's ball. The entire elite united in one place in Davos.

Perfect for collecting compromising material.

Perfect for the Ochrana.

The Ochrana?

The secret police of the tsar.

The photographer was a veteran of the Tsarist Army.

You've known Belova since childhood.

Do you really think she works for the Tsar's secret police?

Before the war there were many Russians here.

That's why my father wanted me to learn the language.

Belova is a relative of the Tsar and Davos can't be imagined without her New Year's Ball.

She is a tsarist. She has access to everyone.

Her ball, it fits.

Also that she was never really sick.

Olga Belova spies for the Ochrana.

For the tsar.

What you're saying makes sense.

- Do you believe me now? - One thing at a time.

If we're successful tonight, we'll talk more, including Mangold.

During the fundraising gala, the money will be handed over to Lenin.

You'll be closest to Belova without her suspecting anything.

Follow her every step of the way. If necessary, you kill her.

We must protect Lenin tonight, at all costs.

Only then you might see Mangold again.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Lenin won't survive this day.

What?

Spare us, myself and my daughter!

We don't say anything to anyone.

I know something that will help you.

I overheard everything, everything.

Johanna Gabathuler is a German spy.

And that child over there, that's her child.

Let us go now. Please!

Please!

No one has ever impressed Johanna as much as you have.

She is more beautiful and selfless than ever before.

I never liked you, Countess.

But the truth is: I envy you.

You have charm, you are well-read and you know the world.

Charm only helps you hide who you really are.

You have a family, a daughter, that's worth something.

You should take over the hotel, Mathilde. Times will change soon.

Whatever you're planning to do, look after her.

For the Congo.

Good evening, Lenin.

Good evening.

Easy.

- He belongs to me. - What is this, Parvus?

Only the communists want to liberate the colonies after the war.

Did you know about it?

Of course.

Three million.

The rest when you get to Moscow.

If you really do bring about a revolution.

No one can stop the revolution.

I don't trust the Germans. Monarchists. Hereditary nobility.

The Germans have their backs against the wall in the war.

They have nothing to lose.

If you don't do it, someone else will.

The Countess is right.

We will find a companion who won't hesitate.

I think it is better to abort.

Stop.

We will do it.

You will sort out the details.

Darling, Georg Kohlmann and the Donatschs talked.

Bring Lenin to the bridge.

Otherwise Elli is going to be dead.

Where is Lenin?

We have won. Long live the revolution.

- I need to see him. Where is he? - Lenin is gone.

- Johanna, what's wrong with you? - Belova has Elli.

- If I don't bring her Lenin, she will kill her. - Johanna, come here.

- You have to help me! - Calm down.

- She has my child! - You no longer have control.

Haven't I taught you anything? Look at me! Johanna, look at me!

You need a plan. We need a plan.

Then let's take back control, shall we?

Where is Johanna?

I'm sure she'll be back in a minute.

Where is this communist?

Up in the woods.

If this is supposed to be an ambush, sweetheart...

Make no mistake.

It's about the life...

of your child.

He fought back, I had to stun him. The Germans are on my trail.

Go ahead.

Where is he? Where is Lenin?

Drop the gun.

Give me the child, Olga.

Then you can have Lenin, and we are square.

Go on!

Welcome, Countess.

Max.

I didn't betray you. You have to believe me.

Shut up.

We were naive. I'm sorry.

I have to stop Lenin. The Germans must not win this war.

If Russia leaves the war, it will save lives, hundreds of thousands.

You don't know what the Germans did, what I did.

- Whatever you did... - Doctor, do not waste time.

The child is Elli, Johanna's daughter.

I lied, but Johanna didn't betray you.

Make it short. Eliminate the countess.

Where is Lenin?

Shoot, doctor! Shoot!

Don't take on more guilt.

You won't get away. Our people will be here soon.

- Shut up! - Soldier, shoot the countess.

Then Johanna and then the child.

No! No! No! No, no!

Prove your loyalty to me.

Prove to me which side you are on.

New York, right?

Drop the gun!

I remember when you were a child

playing tag with Mathilde in the Cronwald.

Your first kiss.

How you grew up.

But I didn't think...

that you were spying for the Germans.

Long live the Tsar.

Give me the child.

Drop your gun.

Hands up.

I told you to drop the gun.

Take good care of yourselves.

Max Horowitz.

You are arrested for high treason against the German empire.

No!

You shouldn't be standing in the cold.

Especially after last night.

The day is the white shadow of the night.

Nowhere is it more true than here.

How's Elli?

Fine.

KINGDOM OF PRUSSIA PASSPORT

Elena Adler.

Lenin is on his way to Russia.

Georg Kohlmann and the Donatschs burned to death.

What about Mangold?

He is charged with treason.

His fate is beyond our control.

I cannot accept that Mangold will be executed.

He has given up everything for me.

My dearest Johanna.

You once said that one only lives in the moments

in which one is ready to die.

Only sometimes you really die.

My tuberculosis is far advanced.

Even here in Davos I find it hard to breathe.

There is a way to see Mangold again.

You must maintain your cover for everyone.

No one must suspect anything.

Continue working for the German intelligence service.

Keep acting as the daughter of the house.

I will marry Thanner.

This is how the Cronwald and our family get through the war.

And keep your child safe.

- How is that supposed to work? - He will never accept Elli.

And not you either.

You are staying with me, Elli.

That's my condition.

Bello.

I am not a mother. And that's good.

But I would have given anything to have a daughter like you.

HAMBURG, GERMAN EMPIRE

Thank you.

To save Mangold from death, so that you can be free with Elli,

you need something powerful.

These photos protected me and they will protect you too.

For he who wants peace prepares for war.

Farewell. Your Barbara.
