00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,679
BASED ON THE NOVEL BY ERICH KÄSTNER
2
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,719
OR
3
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,439
GOING TO THE DOGS
4
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:00,519
Berliner Zeitung!
5
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,279
VOTE
6
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:17,839
What's wrong...
7
00:03:18,640 --> 00:03:20,399
comrade?
8
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,519
- What's wrong, comrade?
- Damn the war!
9
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,159
Damn the...
10
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:28,759
war!
11
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,999
30 marks entry fee.
Private visits cost extra.
12
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:40,519
- Can I look around first?
- For a lady of particular qualities?
13
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,679
I like blondes,
but they're bad news.
14
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,559
- Drinks are included? How nice.
- Yes.
15
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:53,599
Good evening.
16
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,319
This establishment
initiates acquaintances.
17
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,879
The ladies enjoy the same rights
as the gentlemen.
18
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:06,599
Couples are requested to leave
if they wish to be undisturbed.
19
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:11,719
I'll look after you.
20
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:13,319
Got a light?
21
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,439
"Thanks, how pushy of you,"
my father would've said.
22
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,599
- What's your name?
- Fabian. Jakob Fabian.
23
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,679
- Isn't that a bit much?
- Why?
24
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,599
- Two first names?
- Better than one.
25
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,239
Well, then...
26
00:04:35,280 --> 00:04:37,039
I really like you.
27
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,639
And what is your name?
28
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:43,519
Moll.
29
00:04:43,840 --> 00:04:45,559
Irene Moll, even.
30
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:53,199
So people with a good education
have something to laugh at.
31
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,079
I don't get it.
32
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,799
No problem. You don't need an education.
33
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,439
- But maybe I have one.
- Really?
34
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:07,239
So?
35
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,519
"Irene". In Latin, "The peaceful one"?
36
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,679
And does "Moll" mean anything to you?
37
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,679
That means "minor key".
But "major" seems more appropriate.
38
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,079
Let's get a taxi.
39
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:32,319
Lights out!
40
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,999
- Love is a hobby.
- For which you use your body.
41
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:49,679
It's stuck.
42
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,199
I wanted to write a note
before death by strangling.
43
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:58,719
Don't be so coy!
44
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,039
Now, what did the woman have in mind?
45
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:08,039
Fabian was 32 years old
and got around plenty at night.
46
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,319
This night, too, had its appeal.
47
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,559
We're getting there. I'll be right back.
48
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,519
- Don't run away.
- ...she said, and went away.
49
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:34,679
Thirsty, he had carried a cup
in his hand through these nights,
50
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,399
but it was empty
and he was no longer able to bear it.
51
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,999
Time to slaughter the little fellow.
52
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:58,919
I must interrupt.
53
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:02,799
I hate to disturb you,
54
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,679
but could we talk in my office?
55
00:07:05,840 --> 00:07:07,679
- Who are you?
- Moll.
56
00:07:09,280 --> 00:07:10,319
Yes.
57
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,239
Just sign it, quickly.
58
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,919
I'm glad to get to know
such a pleasant young man.
59
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,239
The circumstances
are both usual and unusual.
60
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,359
Don't wear him out. I need him!
61
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,399
A year after we married,
Mrs. Moll and I made a contract.
62
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:35,159
Clause 4 says:
"The female party shall introduce
63
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:39,359
"anyone she wishes
to enter into intimate relations with
64
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,359
"to her husband, Dr. Felix Moll.
65
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,199
"Should he express disapproval
of said person,
66
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:50,439
"Mrs. Moll is instructed
to immediately forgo her intentions."
67
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,679
We quickly realized her sexual needs
68
00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:00,079
grew with every year of our marriage.
69
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,559
My wife's nether regions
became too much for me.
70
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:07,959
Stay, you won't regret it!
71
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,879
How about a monthly wage too?
72
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,799
- It's an option. I'm not poor!
- No.
73
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,759
What a pity! The keys, to get out.
74
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,079
At 5 a.m.,
75
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,399
Fabian decided
to shave off his mustache.
76
00:08:32,560 --> 00:08:35,079
He then returned to bed.
It was a Monday.
77
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:41,319
After two boring and fruitless
work days,
78
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,519
he woke up troubled
on Wednesday morning.
79
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:53,479
His heart was beating madly,
pounding under his pajamas,
80
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,639
throbbing in his throat,
rapping on his skull.
81
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,959
The war! Damn the war!
82
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:03,039
He may have got off lightly
with just a weak heart,
83
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,599
but that was enough for Fabian.
84
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,079
Good morning. In a hurry?
85
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,999
- Yes, we'll talk Friday.
- Good morning.
86
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:14,799
Morning.
87
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,759
- A parcel from your mother.
- Morning, Mrs. Hohlfeld.
88
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:22,599
- I hope the noise didn't keep you up.
- I didn't hear it.
89
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,839
- You're late.
- Yes.
90
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,599
- Tell me, is there a new boarder?
- Yes.
91
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:32,799
Since yesterday.
Bit loud, but they'll get used to us.
92
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,319
We're decent people, right?
93
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,199
Yes. On the topic of decency:
94
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,279
- Did you read yesterday's evening paper?
- No.
95
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,719
- May I read it to you?
- Yes.
96
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,759
"Berlin, 3 June 1931.
97
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,399
"A 16-year-old girl
was arrested in Wedding.
98
00:09:50,680 --> 00:09:54,919
"She had organized young men to steal,
slept with them all."
99
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:56,479
Let me go!
100
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:58,919
"She infected all ten.
101
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:03,959
"Two members of the gang suffocated
a clockmaker in his bed last week.
102
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:08,919
"Olga, the 16-year-old,
lay next to him naked,
103
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,439
"holding a meat cleaver.
104
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,359
"The man was 50
and known to many local girls.
105
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,519
"He'd been to bed with all of them
and taken nude photos.
106
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,519
"Photos were seized
107
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:23,839
"and silk underwear, garters
108
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:25,879
"and stockings were found.
109
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:30,879
"The police also stated that
the girl is five months pregnant.
110
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,479
"They all confessed, with no regrets.
111
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,559
"It is unclear
who the child's father is."
112
00:10:36,680 --> 00:10:39,319
Now I ask you, Mrs. Hohlfeld,
113
00:10:39,680 --> 00:10:42,359
does the world have capacity for decency?
114
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,479
Will you bear my rent in mind?
115
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:46,719
Constantly.
116
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,879
It could not continue like this.
117
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:58,159
Soon, perhaps when he'd almost lost hope,
Fate would be merciful to him
118
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,719
and fill up the empty cup in his hands.
119
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,359
Soon.
120
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:04,959
Then...
121
00:11:05,680 --> 00:11:07,599
Then, but when?
122
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,319
He looked down on the street.
123
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,959
Why was he in this
strange, godforsaken room?
124
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:21,079
80 marks a month, with morning coffee,
electricity extra.
125
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,879
With Widow Hohlfeld,
who didn't use to need boarders.
126
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,879
Why wasn't he at home with his mother?
127
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:36,919
FABIAN'S FINE SOAPS
128
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:42,999
What was he looking for in this city?
In this crazy box of bricks?
129
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,799
Writing nonsense to encourage people
to smoke more cigarettes.
130
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:51,639
He could await Europe's doom
in the place where he was born.
131
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,239
BUILT DURING THE WORLD WAR
132
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:58,759
Morning, Mrs. Böttcher!
133
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:04,599
NO SMOKING
134
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,359
Good morning, Mr. Fischer.
135
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,959
Of course,
Fabian arrived at the office late.
136
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:17,719
His idiotic colleague
was eating second breakfast.
137
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:25,639
Any idea for it?
138
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,039
Nothing. Nothing...
139
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:29,319
Nothing...
140
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:31,959
Nothing... Nothing is greater...
141
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,319
Greater... Greater and grander...
142
00:12:35,560 --> 00:12:38,479
Grander... So grand... So very grand...
143
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,399
Towering... Towering high...
144
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:45,159
Kurmark... Kurmark, unattainable.
145
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,639
What's going on with Ohser and Knauf?
146
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,479
- Gone. Dismissed.
- They've been here far longer than me.
147
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,399
Any idea if he read my contest idea?
148
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:04,199
Shall I present it again when I see him?
149
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,439
Yes, why not? Yes. Thank you.
150
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:10,759
SUMMER
151
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:15,599
Hello, ladies.
152
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:17,519
SPRING
153
00:13:18,680 --> 00:13:20,399
AUTUMN
154
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:28,999
It's open.
155
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,239
Where were you last week?
156
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,159
Yes, good. Thanks.
157
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:38,999
In Hamburg. Leda says hello.
158
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,559
And how is the bride-to-be?
159
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,239
We'll talk about that later.
160
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:57,199
Have you heard from the Professor?
Has he read your thesis?
161
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,719
- No, I haven't submitted it yet.
- What? Why?
162
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,919
I read through it, a third time.
163
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:05,999
Why?
164
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,399
- It's all there.
- He has no time anyway.
165
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:13,719
- Post-docs, tests, lectures, seminars...
- It's all here!
166
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:18,959
Relax. They'll realize
they never understood the man.
167
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,359
Not until you came along.
168
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:24,319
Well...
169
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,639
psychologically evaluating
a dead writer.
170
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,439
I dissected you for five years.
171
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:35,079
Then I pieced you back together,
you old Saxon, Gotthold Ephraim.
172
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,079
- You must let it go.
- Together.
173
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,759
We'll submit it together. Now.
174
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:42,039
- Yes!
- Yes!
175
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:45,719
- Remember the smell?
- Uh-huh.
176
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:47,999
Like in a monkey house.
177
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,319
These twits have it good.
178
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:52,239
Handing in.
179
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:53,879
Come in.
180
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:58,279
Hello.
181
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,999
- Good day.
- The Professor is traveling.
182
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:07,319
I know, but send him my regards,
and I wish him an inspiring read.
183
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,239
Dr. Fabian,
do you want to enroll here again?
184
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:14,679
Not on your life.
185
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:16,479
- Hi.
- Pardon.
186
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:18,279
Weckherlin!
187
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:23,279
You had your noggin shaved!
Put a pot on top, slice half of it off!
188
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:25,439
Lots of people have it.
189
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,599
Asylum haircut.
Matches your inner being.
190
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:30,439
What are you saying?
191
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:34,319
Munch away. Those greasy fingers
will be on my thesis.
192
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,639
- You actually submitted it?
- God, yes!
193
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:42,159
Mrs. Menasse put it at the bottom.
Could you do something?
194
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:43,479
Like what?
195
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,799
Move it higher up,
for a night at Uncle Pelle's.
196
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:48,599
- Okay.
- You need to get out.
197
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:50,559
I don't. Man...
198
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,279
needs only a homeland, no more.
199
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,639
Puzzling remark
for such a pitiful character, right?
200
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:09,919
Pension Hohlfeld.
201
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,079
Schaperstrasse 4.
202
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,479
Labude was a moral man.
203
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:21,119
But his fiancé in Hamburg
had spoiled his morals.
204
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,639
- Is Eden still open?
- I think it's called Hell now.
205
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,319
Just the crust.
206
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,479
- Shall we go in?
- Are you mad?
207
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:34,479
His spiritual program was in peril.
He had lost his boundaries.
208
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:35,639
You nut.
209
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,319
- Anything more on offer?
- Like what?
210
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:41,399
I'm at home for a reason.
I'm tired.
211
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,599
He wanted to live blindly
like his friend.
212
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,519
But it made him despair.
213
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:19,119
"The same train carries us all
And time passes as we go
214
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:21,959
"We peer out, we see, we saw
215
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:26,799
"The same train carries us all
How far we'll travel we do not know
216
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:32,839
"One neighbour sleeps, another laments
A third talks unceasingly"
217
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:38,899
- "Stations came and went."
- "Stations came and went."
218
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:43,799
"Yet the train racing across the years
At its goal will never be."
219
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,199
There are certain rules in my house!
220
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,439
Yes, pardon me.
221
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,919
- I wish you a good night.
- Good night.
222
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,959
Mr. Fabian? Are you there?
223
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,639
- Yes, Mrs. Hohlfeld.
- That's good.
224
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:24,199
Sunday night.
225
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:28,639
"Let's go to the Anonymous Cabaret!"
Labude said after returning from Hamburg.
226
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:33,919
"What is that?"
227
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,959
"I haven't been yet.
A resourceful fellow started it.
228
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,679
"Half-mad people off the street
sing and dance.
229
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:45,959
"He pays them a few marks
to get jeered at by the audience.
230
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:54,879
"Patrons pay for the thrill
of seeing people who are crazier
231
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,399
"than they themselves are."
232
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,119
Someone wants you on the phone!
233
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,159
Mother, your baby's crying!
234
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,719
Miss, come beat my carpets tomorrow!
235
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:12,919
She said the Hamburg-Berlin trip
is too hard on her soul.
236
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,439
She says we always clash sexually too.
237
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,279
When she wants me, I'm not there.
238
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:23,479
When I am, lovemaking is like lunch
whether you're hungry or not.
239
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,399
She said I shouldn't be angry with her,
240
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,519
but she had a medical procedure
some weeks ago.
241
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:37,199
She wants to give birth to our children
when we're married, not before.
242
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:42,279
She didn't tell me about the accident
so as not to scare me.
243
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:47,159
Fine. But whose child
did she get rid of?
244
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,039
I asked her that.
245
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,359
Which man slept at hers last night?
246
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,239
She said I'm imagining it,
that it's ridiculous.
247
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:02,359
She said I should lie down with her,
she had a yearning.
248
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:06,559
I slapped her and left.
249
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,359
Stephan!
250
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:20,119
- I feel like I've been very ill.
- You are ill.
251
00:20:21,360 --> 00:20:23,079
You still love her.
252
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,439
I've handled heftier fellows
than myself.
253
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:32,679
The matter's settled.
254
00:20:33,360 --> 00:20:37,039
The piano rhapsody was over,
but not the dance.
255
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:38,719
The girl onstage
256
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,599
scowled at the pianist and hopped.
257
00:20:42,360 --> 00:20:46,839
A man came out of the wings,
dragged the dancer off the stage...
258
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:53,919
and took center stage himself.
259
00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:58,959
Girl sweat!
260
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,079
- Stop that!
- Quiet, you fools!
261
00:21:03,360 --> 00:21:05,399
- That's going too far!
- Sit!
262
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,719
Do you know what you are? An idiot.
263
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:15,679
By the way,
I don't mean "idiot" offensively.
264
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:20,879
Fabian didn't know, but only ten minutes
stood between him and love.
265
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,759
- How does this work?
- The glasses are there.
266
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,119
You have to do it yourselves.
267
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:33,239
There's the drinks menu and glasses.
268
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,159
- Help yourself.
- And what's your job?
269
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,199
- I watch the till.
- Now, another man.
270
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:42,399
- Name of Paul Müller!
- I know him!
271
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:46,439
He claims to be a poet,
rather than a comedian.
272
00:21:47,120 --> 00:21:49,959
Paul Müller, take the stage!
273
00:21:56,360 --> 00:21:58,479
It's a different Paul Müller.
274
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:02,079
- Hello, Müller.
- Don't fall off!
275
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:08,279
"The Drive into Death" by Paul Müller.
276
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:13,119
"There was a Count of Hohenstein
Who did lock..."
277
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,359
Now only five minutes remained.
278
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,639
"A handsome officer she did love...
His car..."
279
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,679
People threw lumps of sugar
on the stage.
280
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:23,799
People grew bored.
281
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:25,719
The recited verse
282
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,159
was a drama involving nobility.
283
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:30,319
One foggy night
two lovers
284
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,359
drive towards each other unknowingly.
285
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:37,039
Quiet!
286
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,519
What do you think you're doing?
287
00:22:53,360 --> 00:22:57,479
"Ugh!" said Fabian.
"Sadists in the crowd, loonies onstage."
288
00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:59,599
...now the chanteuse...
289
00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:01,519
Next up, please.
290
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:03,599

Labude, however, did not relent.

- You all right?
- Yes.
356
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:09,239
For womankind!
357
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:13,439
Never come
back here again!
358
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:17,519
Such is life. Music!
359
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,439
- I know you.
- She knows you?
360
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:33,839
- You have my keys!
- No! Well, yes. Her name's Moll.
361
00:28:34,120 --> 00:28:37,919
- Her husband pays men to bed her.
- Why do you have her keys?
362
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:40,799
The door was locked. Here. Excuse me.
363
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:52,079
Mrs. Moll, you're looking for your keys.
Here you are.
364
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:58,439
VOTE FOR THÄLMANN!
365
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:19,519
Yes, here's good. Let me out here. Stop!
366
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:21,159
Hey!
367
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:26,319
Thanks.
368
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:29,559
Good evening.
369
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:30,919
Evening.
370
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:43,959
Where are you going?
371
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:51,439
Why is that violent guy your friend?
372
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:53,759
You don't even know him.
373
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,999
- I see egocentrics without knowing them.
- Yes.
374
00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,159
But Labude had bad luck.
375
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:04,159
He traveled to Hamburg
and saw his future wife cheating on him.
376
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,839
He wanted to marry.
He likes organizing things.
377
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:12,519
His family future is calculated
down to the minutest detail.
378
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:18,879
Worst of all, it took him five years
to realize that she wasn't cheating
379
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:22,479
due to his absence,
but because she never loved him.
380
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,079
She liked him,
but he wasn't her type.
381
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:27,719
The opposite can happen.
382
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:32,199
You can be attracted to a person,
but still not want them around.
383
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:36,359
So it never happens
that someone is perfect in every way?
384
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:39,119
You shouldn't hope for too much.
385
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:45,759
They continued on their way.
Fabian didn't know where she lived.
386
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:49,959
He let her guide him,
although he knew the area better.
387
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:54,719
So what brought you
to Sodom and Gomorrah?
388
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,479
I'm a lawyer in training.
389
00:30:57,800 --> 00:30:59,639
Which area?
390
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:03,199
My thesis is in international film law.
391
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:07,599
A big film company
let me start in its legal department.
392
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,599
120 marks a month, four-week trial.
393
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:14,679
Why don't you act?
In front of the camera.
394
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:17,799
Does one exclude the other?
395
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:22,679
Lawyer-to-be and barmaid
wants to be a star.
396
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,479
SLENDER AND SPICY
397
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:36,439
I'm no angel, sir.
398
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:41,119
People have no time
for angels these days.
399
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:46,039
When we love a man,
we give ourselves to him.
400
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:49,439
We part with all that went before
and go to him.
401
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:53,279
"Here I am,"
we say with a friendly smile.
402
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:56,159
"Yes, here you are,"
403
00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:59,879
he says, scratching behind his ear.
404
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:03,359
"Lord!" he thinks.
"Now I'm stuck with her."
405
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:07,199
Light-heartedly,
we give him all we possess,
406
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:09,559
but he curses.
407
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,079
Our gifts are a burden to him.
408
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:17,039
First he curses quietly, then loudly.
409
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:19,679
And we're more alone than ever.
410
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:26,959
I'm 25 years old and two men left me,
like an intentionally forgotten umbrella.
411
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:33,639
Does my candor disturb you?
412
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:35,879
Certainly not.
413
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,999
Could you tell me what time it is?
414
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:46,639
- Ten past twelve.
- Thanks.
415
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:48,839
Then I've got to hurry.
416
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:58,559
Do you by chance
have 50 pfennigs to spare?
417
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:00,199
Yes.
418
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:02,159
Just by chance. Here.
419
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:04,879
- There you go.
- Thanks a lot.
420
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:08,919
I won't have to sleep
at the Salvation Army tonight.
421
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:14,879
A well-bred young man.
422
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:18,679
Asks for the time first, then for money.
423
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:25,759
- Even the moon shines in this city.
- ...noted the international film lawyer.
424
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:28,959
But you're wrong.
425
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:33,559
Moonshine, the smell of flowers, silence
and a kiss in the archway...
426
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:37,919
There, in that café,
whores sit with their pimps.
427
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:44,119
The inhabitants of this city of stone
have long since made it a madhouse.
428
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:49,359
Crime in the east, roguery in the center,
poverty in the north,
429
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:51,479
depravity in the west.
430
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:56,399
- Ruin lurks at every point on the compass.
- And what comes after ruin?
431
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:58,199
Stupidity.
432
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:04,359
Stupidity arrived already where I'm from.
But what is one to do?
433
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:09,759
Whoa! Where did he come from?
434
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:14,639
All right.
435
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:20,119
- Here?
- Mm-hm.
436
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:26,159
- Don't you want to lock it?
- It isn't mine.
437
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:31,719
This is where I live.
438
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:37,919
May I meet you again?
439
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:40,199
- Do you really want to?
- Yes.
440
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:43,279
On the condition that you also want to.
441
00:34:44,720 --> 00:34:45,839
All right.
442
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:03,039
Would you take it the wrong way
if I asked you to come up briefly?
443
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:07,519
The room is still unfamiliar
and dark trees sway outside the window.
444
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:11,119
- I'd like to.
- Yeah?
445
00:35:11,240 --> 00:35:12,679
Yes.
446
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:27,519
- I worry you have taken it the wrong way.
- Uh-uh.
447
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:35,639
She pushed the door open
and he turned on the stairwell lights.
448
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,799
Oh! He'd nearly given himself away.
449
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:43,199
But she suspected nothing,
went ahead,
450
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:47,039
actually stopped
outside Widow Hohlfeld's door
451
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:48,999
and opened it.
452
00:35:50,240 --> 00:35:54,559
Two young girls were playing football
with balloons in the hallway.
453
00:35:56,680 --> 00:36:00,719
Libidinous traveling salesman Mr. Tröger
exited the toilet,
454
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:02,919
appearing in his pajamas.
455
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:04,599
Mr. Fabian?
456
00:36:04,720 --> 00:36:06,239
Good night.
457
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:09,479
- We have no space.
- What's the holdup?
458
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:11,239
It's lovely here!
459
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:14,719
- Inside!
- Tröger sent the girls into his seraglio.
460
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:17,399
And locked the door behind him.
461
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:22,479
80 marks per month.
462
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:25,599
I pay just as much for mine.
463
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,199
I get the neighbours for free.
464
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:32,359
Drill a hole in the wall,
ask for admission.
465
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:34,759
- Enough.
- No!
466
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:36,319
I'm hard.
467
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:40,759
I'm so glad you came in with me.
468
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:43,999
The room is even more ghastly
when I'm alone.
469
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:50,639
- Do you want to look at the scary trees?
- Yes.
470
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:08,119
Even the trees are kinder today.
471
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:21,479
- Now you think this is why I asked you in.
- Sure.
472
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:24,599
- But you didn't know it yourself yet.
- Yes.
473
00:37:24,720 --> 00:37:26,199
Well...
474
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:29,599
What's your name?
475
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:31,679
Cornelia.
476
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:04,919
Now I have to start over again. Wait.
477
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:24,519
Do you remember when you said...
478
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:29,599
you wanted to punish men
for their egoism?
479
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:32,799
- Uh-huh.
- Yes?
480
00:38:35,720 --> 00:38:38,279
I'll make an exception for you.
481
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:43,799
I get the feeling I could love you.
482
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:51,039
I cried earlier on.
483
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:53,039
I know.
484
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:55,919
Because I'm fond of you.
485
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:03,679
But my fondness for you
is my own affair, not yours.
486
00:39:07,240 --> 00:39:09,319
Right, now I'm hungry.
487
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:15,159
But there's a problem.
I have nothing to eat here.
488
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:21,679
I couldn't know I'd get so hungry
so quickly in this horrible city.
489
00:39:25,240 --> 00:39:26,599
Then...
490
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:37,999
we'll have to burgle.
491
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:40,639
- My picklock.
- What? Don't.
492
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:42,599
- Yes!
- Fabian!
493
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:45,759
- Go! Who lives here?
- I'm fine. Don't!
494
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:47,919
Stop it!
495
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:49,799
Stop it! Stop!
496
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:53,119
Where are you? What are you doing?
497
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:55,359
Fabian?
498
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:58,279
Mr. Fabian now welcomes
499
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:00,919
Miss Battenberg to his chambers.
500
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:02,919
- No!
- ...she said.
501
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:05,399
- That's not possible!
- Yes.
502
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:09,159
Now she believed it,
and danced a folk dance.
503
00:40:28,720 --> 00:40:30,679
That dance has to be loud.
504
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:33,759
...said the international film law expert.
505
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:36,599
The menu, please.
506
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:38,559
The menu.
507
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:40,359
Of course.
508
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:42,639
Here are the starters.
509
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:49,119
Is it good? Right, here you go.
510
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:52,879
Are you hungry, too? Tuck in!
511
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:56,159
- Where did you get all this?
- From home.
512
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:04,599
- Good, right?
- Crunchy.
513
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:11,279
No! Don't!
514
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:14,319
I like kisses for dessert.
515
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:17,479
- I'll have three kisses.
- I'll get them.
516
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:45,199
They'll be glad to see me on time
at the office for once.
517
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:49,679
- Come here.
- Yes.
518
00:42:42,240 --> 00:42:44,679
- I'll take one.
- There you are.
519
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:48,319
Bye.
520
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:56,319
KURMARK
DIRECTOR BREITKOPF
521
00:42:58,080 --> 00:42:59,959
How is the mood?
522
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:05,679
Yes... Dear God, come in.
523
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:08,839
It has to pop out
when you open the paper.
524
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:10,159
Yes.
525
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:12,519
Good. We'll stay on it.
526
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:16,159
You wanted to talk to me?
527
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:22,959
KURMARK CONTEST
528
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:28,359
- Were you late today?
- No.
529
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:30,479
The truth.
530
00:43:31,240 --> 00:43:32,799
Seven minutes.
531
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:35,239
Do you have a second occupation?
532
00:43:36,720 --> 00:43:39,919
You'd need approval.
Do you know your contract?
533
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:43,599
Yes, but I...
have a second occupation anyway.
534
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:45,519
I knew it.
535
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:47,839
- What do you do?
- I live.
536
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:55,679
Hanging around in bars and dance halls.
You call that living?
537
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:58,039
You don't respect life.
538
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:00,519
Not my own. That's true.
539
00:44:01,240 --> 00:44:03,999
You don't get that
and it isn't your concern.
540
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:05,319
Forget it.
541
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:08,359
I need you to help me.
542
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:10,799
You have delicate fingers.
543
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:15,559
The doctor said I have to re-bandage it
every four hours.
544
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:22,919
You've seen a man before, right?
545
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:26,239
The wound's in the southern regions.
546
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:28,039
Here.
547
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:31,359
Yes.
548
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:35,439
No put the ointment on it.
549
00:44:35,720 --> 00:44:38,239
It looks like a party manifesto.
550
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:41,119
Brown on the right, red on the left,
551
00:44:41,240 --> 00:44:43,959
the middle a hardly discernible
mishmash.
552
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:46,279
Stop it. Laughing hurts.
553
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:51,919
The ointment is on.
Now we need a new gauze pad.
554
00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:58,879
- Know why an appendix is like a socialist?
- No.
555
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:01,039
You're better off without it.
556
00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:03,439
- Careful! That'll do.
- Sorry.
557
00:45:05,720 --> 00:45:07,479
- Right.
- Thanks.
558
00:45:10,720 --> 00:45:14,759
- So, no time to consider the contest idea?
- Of course.
559
00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:16,679
- Top-notch idea.
- Nice.
560
00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:19,479
We'll discuss it at the board meeting.
561
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:22,559
Your colleague's ideas
make him indispensable.
562
00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:25,039
No, the idea was mine.
563
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:28,399
But Fischer came to me first.
Or am I wrong?
564
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:31,919
No, of course not.
He's fast and talented.
565
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:35,079
You're also talented, Fabian.
566
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:41,319
But I do wonder
why you work here for us.
567
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:46,479
- I don't understand...
- You don't want to work here.
568
00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:51,159
Your talents are of a literary nature.
We need go-getters here.
569
00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:56,119
- Not writers bent on aesthetics.
- You can't be serious. That's...
570
00:45:56,240 --> 00:45:59,439
- No, the contest was my idea.
- Don't annoy me.
571
00:45:59,720 --> 00:46:02,719
- It was my idea!
- I'll give you 50 marks extra.
572
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:04,999
On top of the usual 200.
573
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:09,759
- You're firing me?
- I think it's the best thing for you.
574
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:12,879
Effective immediately?
575
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:15,959
I wish you all the best.
576
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:18,999
Seriously.
577
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:21,959
Dr. Fabian, Jakob.
578
00:46:22,240 --> 00:46:25,879
Employed three years,
resides at Schaperstrasse 4.
579
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:27,879
- Correct?
- Yes.
580
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:31,519
The director said
I'd get 50 marks on top.
581
00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:35,519
I don't know about that,
but you were repeatedly late.
582
00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:40,839
That's punished with 15 marks
docked pay. So you get 185 marks.
583
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:44,479
15 marks for being late
a few times in three years?
584
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:47,759
I should get 50 marks more, not 15 less.
585
00:46:48,720 --> 00:46:51,159
Why must you always be so loud?
586
00:46:56,320 --> 00:47:00,039
You remain employed
until the end of the month.
587
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:03,999
And I'll solve the 50-mark issue
by this afternoon.
588
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:06,799
Please sign here.
589
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:14,599
What shall I do now?
590
00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:17,399
I don't know. Physical labor?
591
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:20,159
Sorry.
592
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:26,719
LUNCH BREAK
593
00:47:39,520 --> 00:47:41,759
Move to the side. There.
594
00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:44,199
Thank you!
595
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:53,879
Excuse me?
596
00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:56,719
First time here?
597
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:02,559
I've been doing this for 11 months.
598
00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:09,759
Eastern front, Linsingen group.
Operation Faustschlag.
599
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:13,199
I was there till Kiev,
then I got torn up.
600
00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:15,279
I'm sorry.
601
00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:19,359
Three-day siege. It was a joke really.
602
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:21,479
They couldn't counter us.
603
00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:25,159
But then,
just when you think you're safe...
604
00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:29,399
Grenade came from a potato cellar.
I was peeing.
605
00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:33,479
- It goes all the way to the second floor.
- It's moving.
606
00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:35,399
- Did you serve?
- Uh-huh.
607
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:37,839
Foot Artillery, 19th Regiment.
608
00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:40,119
Ah, a Saxon. You see?
609
00:48:40,240 --> 00:48:42,679
Now we're waiting for handouts.
610
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:45,199
- It sure is dark, eh?
- Move up!
611
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:48,239
Rudi, you still there, or what's wrong?
612
00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:52,839
- Does that cause you trouble?
- What's not there can't bother you.
613
00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:55,599
Nights are worst.
614
00:48:56,120 --> 00:48:59,239
Bees buzz in my head
when I close my eyes.
615
00:49:01,240 --> 00:49:03,879
War, inflation and unemployment.
616
00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:06,959
You get emaciated.
617
00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:10,239
Not just the body, the mind too.
618
00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:12,879
Get down!
619
00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:21,639
- Is this political?
- The Reds!
620
00:49:29,240 --> 00:49:33,079
Yes, tremendous.
Could you wrap it up nicely?
621
00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:34,479
Certainly.
622
00:49:37,720 --> 00:49:39,519
- 60, right?
- Yes.
623
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:44,399
There.
624
00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:51,879
Be careful!
625
00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:54,079
I'll try my best, thanks.
626
00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:05,359
10, 20, 30, 40, 60, 80,
627
00:50:05,640 --> 00:50:07,359
100, 120...
628
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:12,679
140, 160.
629
00:50:13,600 --> 00:50:16,599
- For May and June.
- Only July is missing.
630
00:50:16,720 --> 00:50:18,279
I'll pay it later.
631
00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:20,279
Finally.
632
00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:32,959
Like it?
633
00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:35,039
Oh, how nice!
634
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:38,639
Tell me when there's something
to admire.
635
00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:41,439
New dress? Do I know those earrings?
636
00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:44,439
Was your hair parted that way yesterday?
637
00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:48,839
I don't notice what I like.
You have to point it out to me.
638
00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:08,839
Sorry, I have no money for delicacies.
639
00:51:09,120 --> 00:51:13,439
- Do you like brawn?
- Picture it as something else.
640
00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:24,359
I always wondered
what a Holstein Schnitzel is.
641
00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:28,919
First, floured veal is fried in butter.
642
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:33,199
Then you add two eggs
and fry them as well.
643
00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:37,279
You then add capers,
and garnish with sardines in oil.
644
00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:41,679
Then the smoked salmon is added.
645
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:45,319
- Beetroot and beans?
- Yes, those too.
646
00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:46,999
And croutons.
647
00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:49,759
Sadly, that isn't served
in this restaurant.
648
00:51:56,720 --> 00:51:58,639
The emergency ration.
649
00:51:59,560 --> 00:52:02,559
Now I'd like to invite you
to a digestive.
650
00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:08,399
I'm sorry, sir? Pardon me.
651
00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:12,639
- What do you think you're doing?
- I just want...
652
00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:15,879
No, I don't want to leave. It's just...
653
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:18,719
- Leave, I said!
- I have money!
654
00:52:20,080 --> 00:52:21,599
Out!
655
00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:24,119
What are you doing?
656
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:27,279
Hands off that gentleman!
657
00:52:28,520 --> 00:52:30,319
Hands off him!
658
00:52:30,600 --> 00:52:34,119
There you are!
I'm so sorry for the mix-up.
659
00:52:34,240 --> 00:52:36,039
Come on. Unbelievable!
660
00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:38,639
- Miss Battenberg.
- Madam.
661
00:52:38,920 --> 00:52:42,119
- Hello.
- Would you like to eat something?
662
00:52:42,240 --> 00:52:44,479
- Want a beer?
- Very kind.
663
00:52:44,760 --> 00:52:48,599
- But you'll get into trouble.
- Rubbish. Here, the menu.
664
00:52:48,720 --> 00:52:50,399
Pick something.
665
00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:54,559
- I can't. They'll grab me and kick me out.
- No.
666
00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:57,679
They won't. Pull yourself together.
667
00:52:57,880 --> 00:53:02,199
Your jacket's old and you're hungry,
but you can still sit upright.
668
00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:06,079
It's your own fault
nobody lets you in the door.
669
00:53:06,200 --> 00:53:08,199
- Do you want one?
- Oh, yes.
670
00:53:10,920 --> 00:53:13,959
You see it differently
after years without work.
671
00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:19,999
I sleep in a dosshouse
on the Engel embankment.
672
00:53:20,280 --> 00:53:23,239
The welfare office pays me ten marks.
673
00:53:23,720 --> 00:53:26,719
My stomach is sick from all the caviar.
674
00:53:28,200 --> 00:53:31,319
- What's your trade?
- A bank clerk, I believe.
675
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:33,919
I've been to prison too.
676
00:53:34,040 --> 00:53:36,679
Lord, I've been so many places!
677
00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:43,599
The only thing I've not experienced
is suicide.
678
00:53:43,720 --> 00:53:45,799
But there's still time.
679
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:49,839
Being unemployed is normal these days.
680
00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:57,639
Fabian didn't know what to say.
681
00:53:57,760 --> 00:54:01,519
He ran through sentences, none fit.
He got up.
682
00:54:01,640 --> 00:54:04,399
I think the waiter wants to talk to me.
683
00:54:08,720 --> 00:54:11,519
Right, that'll do. Is there a problem?
684
00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:13,799
That man is my guest.
685
00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:23,479
I'll be right back.
686
00:54:32,240 --> 00:54:33,759
Pardon me.
687
00:54:36,880 --> 00:54:38,879
LEARN TO SWIM
688
00:54:54,040 --> 00:54:57,279
"...I sleep in a dosshouse
on the Engel embankment..."
689
00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:05,879
You're unemployed?
Is that right?
690
00:55:07,520 --> 00:55:08,959
Mm-hm.
691
00:55:09,520 --> 00:55:11,319
Yes, I was fired.
692
00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:15,519
A short time ago
I'd have laughed about it.
693
00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:27,199
Life is beautiful.
694
00:55:32,520 --> 00:55:34,919
What do you think about fidelity?
695
00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:39,239
Swallow before using grand words.
696
00:55:48,800 --> 00:55:52,359
I think I'm only waiting
for a chance to be faithful.
697
00:55:52,480 --> 00:55:55,879
Until last week
I thought I was ruined for that.
698
00:55:57,360 --> 00:55:59,359
That's a declaration of love.
699
00:55:59,800 --> 00:56:02,799
If you cry now
I'll tan your hide.
700
00:56:12,120 --> 00:56:14,519
- I'm crying.
- Just you wait...
701
00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:16,159
Come here.
702
00:56:23,440 --> 00:56:25,039
My love, my love!
703
00:56:27,200 --> 00:56:30,639
Don't worry.
We'll sell something if we have to.
704
00:56:40,040 --> 00:56:42,799
I know not if tomorrow I shall live,
705
00:56:42,920 --> 00:56:46,919
but if tomorrow I do live,
I certainly know I shall drink.
706
00:56:49,160 --> 00:56:51,079
Back to the text.
707
00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:52,639
Lessing asks:
708
00:56:52,760 --> 00:56:56,839
"Do we not often find ourselves
in company we must abide
709
00:56:57,560 --> 00:57:02,399
"that seems as insufferably boring
as time spent on our sickbed?"
710
00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:07,319
Today we must answer
that we are tired of being a society
711
00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:09,399
that is on its sickbed.
712
00:57:09,520 --> 00:57:13,559
We're progressing.
We mustn't stall, we must act.
713
00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:18,199
We're joining
Hamburg, Frankfurt and Tübingen.
714
00:57:18,840 --> 00:57:20,599
Our demands are clear.
715
00:57:20,720 --> 00:57:23,199
Voluntary cuts to private profit,
716
00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:27,879
increased social benefits,
cultural immersion in child rearing.
717
00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:31,239
Fear and hatred
must no longer scream louder
718
00:57:31,520 --> 00:57:33,559
than the mind and heart.
719
00:57:34,240 --> 00:57:36,279
Don't forget this lesson.
720
00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:39,839
The age of human dignity is dawning.
721
00:57:41,600 --> 00:57:42,879
Thank you.
722
00:57:43,160 --> 00:57:47,359
Be careful or they'll lock you up.
And they'll be glad to.
723
00:57:48,480 --> 00:57:52,479
Organize the system wisely,
and people will adapt to it.
724
00:57:52,600 --> 00:57:57,839
I'm glad you can work freely
to achieve your political aims again.
725
00:57:58,120 --> 00:58:02,919
But don't be angry if I don't believe
reason and power will ever unite.
726
00:58:04,840 --> 00:58:07,999
They will if power is used
in the people's interest.
727
00:58:08,120 --> 00:58:12,039
What use is your divine system
if men remain swine?
728
00:58:12,360 --> 00:58:17,159
- The reasonable and just won't gain power.
- We must at least risk it!
729
00:58:17,280 --> 00:58:18,799
Try it!
730
00:58:19,440 --> 00:58:22,519
The worst thing is you have no ambition.
731
00:58:23,360 --> 00:58:25,879
I observe. Is that nothing?
732
00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:28,799
- Whom does it help?
- Who can be helped?
733
00:58:31,160 --> 00:58:34,879
- Dinner, stay here!
- She wants to be an actress.
734
00:58:35,320 --> 00:58:36,959
Another one?
735
00:58:43,400 --> 00:58:45,719
At night I dream I'll lose her.
736
00:58:45,840 --> 00:58:47,879
I'm ashamed of my fear.
737
00:58:49,960 --> 00:58:51,599
You understand, right?
738
00:58:52,920 --> 00:58:54,119
Yes.
739
00:58:54,400 --> 00:58:57,639
What happens will happen.
You can't influence it.
740
00:58:59,760 --> 00:59:04,239
The book of love already says
which of you will leave the other.
741
00:59:04,360 --> 00:59:06,479
Sit yourself down and write.
742
00:59:08,680 --> 00:59:11,599
- Go to the labor exchange.
- I did.
743
00:59:11,720 --> 00:59:16,159
They told me I'm not unemployed yet.
I can go back in a month.
744
00:59:20,640 --> 00:59:22,519
You can't stand here.
745
00:59:27,520 --> 00:59:28,999
Here either.
746
00:59:36,160 --> 00:59:38,479
- You can here.
- Yes, thanks.
747
01:00:01,680 --> 01:00:03,599
- Are you all right?
- Yes.
748
01:00:04,960 --> 01:00:08,439
- Know what I dream of, Miss Battenberg?
- What?
749
01:00:08,880 --> 01:00:12,399
The novel the wonderful person
next to you can write.
750
01:00:12,520 --> 01:00:15,599
Modern. Clearly structured.
751
01:00:16,160 --> 01:00:17,679
Avant-garde!
752
01:00:18,040 --> 01:00:21,959
The stupid thing about avant-garde
is it has to be avant-gardist.
753
01:00:22,240 --> 01:00:23,959
I have to get out.
754
01:00:24,320 --> 01:00:25,919
I'm sinking.
755
01:00:29,160 --> 01:00:31,039
You swim like a dog.
756
01:00:31,760 --> 01:00:35,159
- It's not one of his strengths.
- But he does have others.
757
01:00:37,280 --> 01:00:39,239
When did we first meet?
758
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:41,279
That was...
759
01:00:41,400 --> 01:00:43,599
- Twenty-five days ago.
- Yes.
760
01:00:44,120 --> 01:00:46,479
What was that?
761
01:00:47,240 --> 01:00:48,759
Sorry.
762
01:00:56,040 --> 01:00:57,079
Sorry!
763
01:01:12,920 --> 01:01:15,599
One Labude comes, one goes. Hi, Stephan.
764
01:01:15,880 --> 01:01:19,119
I'm off for a few days
to calm my nerves.
765
01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:23,959
How are you? How is Hamburg?
Oh! You don't look well.
766
01:01:24,240 --> 01:01:25,559
Troubles?
767
01:01:25,680 --> 01:01:29,159
Any postdoctoral thesis news?
No? You boring bunch!
768
01:01:29,440 --> 01:01:31,759
Mr. Fabian, it's been a while.
769
01:01:32,040 --> 01:01:34,759
- Still in advertising?
- Yes.
770
01:01:34,880 --> 01:01:36,919
Lighten up, young man!
771
01:01:37,200 --> 01:01:42,079
So many serious discussions!
Is there life after death and so on.
772
01:01:42,200 --> 01:01:44,999
There isn't.
You have to live beforehand.
773
01:01:45,120 --> 01:01:47,239
I assume Mother is in Lugano?
774
01:01:47,360 --> 01:01:49,519
Yes, she can stay longer.
775
01:01:49,640 --> 01:01:52,239
There's a reason it's called Paradiso.
776
01:01:52,520 --> 01:01:54,679
Labude's father was a defense lawyer.
777
01:01:54,960 --> 01:01:59,079
His clients had lots of money and trials,
so he did, too.
778
01:01:59,200 --> 01:02:01,039
When will your nose heal?
779
01:02:01,520 --> 01:02:05,039
The excitement of his work
did not satisfy him.
780
01:02:05,160 --> 01:02:07,759
He went to gambling halls
almost nightly.
781
01:02:07,880 --> 01:02:12,039
He greatly abhorred the peacefulness
that pervaded his house.
782
01:02:14,200 --> 01:02:17,319
I always expect the servant
to bring slippers.
783
01:02:17,600 --> 01:02:20,239
- Are his parents separated?
- No.
784
01:02:20,360 --> 01:02:24,639
But their mutual fondness grows
with the distance between them.
785
01:02:27,280 --> 01:02:29,239
Take whatever you need.
786
01:02:35,880 --> 01:02:37,559
Stay out of it.
787
01:02:40,760 --> 01:02:42,399
- Want one, too?
- Mm-hm.
788
01:02:44,600 --> 01:02:47,919
- Why didn't you say he's so rich?
- What would it change?
789
01:02:50,920 --> 01:02:52,679
What would it change?
790
01:02:54,800 --> 01:02:56,439
Only joking!
791
01:02:57,440 --> 01:02:58,959
I see.
792
01:03:05,160 --> 01:03:06,719
How far is it?
793
01:03:07,520 --> 01:03:09,599
- Walking distance.
- Five minutes?
794
01:03:09,720 --> 01:03:11,799
Three, and we're there.
795
01:03:12,920 --> 01:03:14,439
Georg?
796
01:03:16,680 --> 01:03:18,599
This is how you load.
797
01:03:21,120 --> 01:03:23,079
One, two.
798
01:03:23,920 --> 01:03:27,239
- Two triggers. One, two.
- Let me see to that.
799
01:03:27,680 --> 01:03:32,039
You're left-handed. Set it down.
Come round to the other side.
800
01:03:33,000 --> 01:03:35,759
Glass, Georg. Left in front.
801
01:03:35,880 --> 01:03:37,319
- My foot?
- Yes.
802
01:03:37,440 --> 01:03:39,759
- Put weight on it.
- Like so?
803
01:03:39,880 --> 01:03:40,919
Take over.
804
01:03:42,760 --> 01:03:45,839
- Up. Finger off the trigger.
- Oh! Sorry.
805
01:03:46,480 --> 01:03:49,239
- Cheek to the stock.
- That was the cork.
806
01:03:51,280 --> 01:03:52,759
Yes.
807
01:03:53,840 --> 01:03:55,439
A bit lower.
808
01:03:56,640 --> 01:03:58,239
A bit more.
809
01:03:59,840 --> 01:04:00,799
Good.
810
01:04:02,440 --> 01:04:03,959
And now?
811
01:04:04,560 --> 01:04:06,439
The target appears, we follow.
812
01:04:06,560 --> 01:04:08,679
- First shot, second shot.
- Okay.
813
01:04:08,960 --> 01:04:12,479
- Good.
- Start at the foot of the first birch.
814
01:04:14,160 --> 01:04:17,719
- Say the word, Fabian lets them fly.
- Shall I say "go"?
815
01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:19,879
- Let them fly.
- Thanks.
816
01:04:20,160 --> 01:04:21,839
Are you ready?
817
01:04:21,960 --> 01:04:24,119
- Are you ready?
- Yes.
818
01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:28,439
Let them fly.
819
01:04:30,320 --> 01:04:31,319
Shoot!
820
01:04:31,680 --> 01:04:32,599
Yes?
821
01:04:32,880 --> 01:04:34,199
- You're talented.
- Yes.
822
01:04:34,480 --> 01:04:35,999
With practice.
823
01:04:36,880 --> 01:04:39,959
- With lots of it, right?
- Try yourself.
824
01:04:40,520 --> 01:04:43,839
No. I won't touch a thing like that.
825
01:04:43,960 --> 01:04:46,199
Nobody is forced to shoot.
826
01:04:46,320 --> 01:04:49,679
But I shoot
because I didn't learn anything else.
827
01:04:50,360 --> 01:04:51,639
Let them fly!
828
01:04:55,120 --> 01:04:56,839
- Very good shot.
- Load.
829
01:04:56,960 --> 01:04:58,519
Yes.
830
01:05:03,120 --> 01:05:05,519
- Up!
- Yes, hold on.
831
01:05:11,320 --> 01:05:13,119
Another hit.
832
01:05:14,120 --> 01:05:15,159
Load.
833
01:05:37,520 --> 01:05:39,759
Your heart is racing.
834
01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:43,559
I understand.
835
01:05:43,680 --> 01:05:45,279
I get it.
836
01:05:46,240 --> 01:05:48,199
No one can get it.
837
01:05:49,400 --> 01:05:51,199
It can't be understood.
838
01:05:53,080 --> 01:05:54,519
It's fine.
839
01:06:00,080 --> 01:06:03,959
Can I leave you alone briefly?
So I can sort myself out.
840
01:06:12,680 --> 01:06:14,999
The sandwiches were tasty.
841
01:07:20,800 --> 01:07:22,359
What's wrong,
842
01:07:22,640 --> 01:07:24,399
comrade?
843
01:07:32,720 --> 01:07:35,639
Damn the war!
844
01:07:37,880 --> 01:07:38,959
Damn the war!
845
01:07:43,680 --> 01:07:45,279
Damn the war!
846
01:07:45,560 --> 01:07:47,959
Out there in the countryside
847
01:07:48,080 --> 01:07:51,679
there are still isolated buildings,
848
01:07:52,280 --> 01:07:54,919
in which maimed soldiers still lie...
849
01:07:55,200 --> 01:07:58,279
soldiers still lie,
men without limbs.
850
01:07:58,560 --> 01:08:01,199
Men with monstrous faces,
851
01:08:01,840 --> 01:08:04,159
without noses or mouths.
852
01:08:05,800 --> 01:08:09,199
There are nurses
who shy away from nothing.
853
01:08:09,320 --> 01:08:13,599
They funnel sustenance
into those deformed creatures through...
854
01:08:13,880 --> 01:08:15,799
thin glass tubes.
855
01:08:16,840 --> 01:08:20,879
They pierce them
through badly scarred holes
856
01:08:21,160 --> 01:08:23,359
where a mouth once was.
857
01:08:25,720 --> 01:08:28,439
A mouth that could laugh and speak
858
01:08:28,720 --> 01:08:30,679
and scream.
859
01:08:54,960 --> 01:08:56,639
I fell asleep.
860
01:08:58,600 --> 01:09:00,719
You have to sign.
861
01:09:00,840 --> 01:09:02,879
I drew up a contract for us.
862
01:09:03,160 --> 01:09:04,679
Oh, dear!
863
01:09:04,800 --> 01:09:09,519
I LOVE CORNELIA AND WILL NEVER
STAND IN THE WAY OF HER CAREER.
864
01:09:12,720 --> 01:09:14,479
DATE: 4 JULY 1931
865
01:09:17,000 --> 01:09:19,519
- We're kindred spirits.
- All right.
866
01:09:21,920 --> 01:09:24,239
What does your father do?
867
01:09:24,360 --> 01:09:27,039
He rescues people in dire straits.
868
01:09:28,640 --> 01:09:30,399
Thanks.
869
01:09:36,800 --> 01:09:38,559
Mosquito on your calf.
870
01:09:38,680 --> 01:09:40,599
Fabian, come here!
871
01:09:48,160 --> 01:09:49,679
Fabian?
872
01:09:50,360 --> 01:09:51,639
Mr. Jakob Fabian!
873
01:09:57,840 --> 01:10:02,519
- Unless you need me, I'll take my leave.
- Georg, you have tomorrow off.
874
01:10:02,960 --> 01:10:06,639
Are you glad when you have a day off?
You are, right?
875
01:10:09,040 --> 01:10:11,479
- Good evening, sir.
- Likewise.
876
01:10:20,600 --> 01:10:22,519
What are you doing?
877
01:10:24,280 --> 01:10:26,319
She was dropped as a baby.
878
01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:29,679
Careful, the lake!
879
01:10:31,560 --> 01:10:34,759
- He's not a good swimmer.
- That's not true.
880
01:10:34,880 --> 01:10:35,999
What?
881
01:10:36,120 --> 01:10:38,399
Nothing. I'll save you.
882
01:10:44,000 --> 01:10:46,199
I couldn't take any longer.
883
01:10:52,160 --> 01:10:55,239
I'll ask questions
our friend dares not ask.
884
01:10:55,520 --> 01:10:59,439
- What? Labude, please don't.
- You agree? Wonderful!
885
01:10:59,560 --> 01:11:03,359
You can leave out one question,
but must answer the rest.
886
01:11:04,480 --> 01:11:07,359
First question. Where are you from?
887
01:11:08,440 --> 01:11:11,319
Paris mornings are Campari orange.
888
01:11:13,800 --> 01:11:15,319
Paris.
889
01:11:15,440 --> 01:11:17,559
She answers in riddles.
890
01:11:19,480 --> 01:11:22,279
Where do you want to go? In life.
891
01:11:23,320 --> 01:11:24,999
No answer.
892
01:11:25,280 --> 01:11:27,959
Why another actress in these times?
893
01:11:28,080 --> 01:11:30,519
How does it benefit society?
894
01:11:31,720 --> 01:11:35,079
Not at all. Hopefully. Useless beauty.
895
01:11:37,440 --> 01:11:40,359
What do you expect of Fabian's novel?
896
01:11:41,920 --> 01:11:44,239
Firstly, that I'll be in it.
897
01:11:48,120 --> 01:11:49,759
And secondly...
898
01:11:51,880 --> 01:11:56,599
that the language is so powerful
that not a word can be changed,
899
01:11:56,720 --> 01:12:02,079
and that there's not a sentence too many
and not a metaphor too contrived.
900
01:12:04,440 --> 01:12:10,479
I expect his novel to distil reality
down to its essence, so the entirety...
901
01:12:10,600 --> 01:12:14,079
It's lovely that you two know
what I should write.
902
01:12:14,200 --> 01:12:16,239
Not so much what as how.
903
01:12:16,360 --> 01:12:19,039
Not so much how as what.
904
01:12:19,160 --> 01:12:21,039
Eschew formalism.
905
01:12:25,080 --> 01:12:28,159
Cornelia Battenberg,
I grant you permission
906
01:12:28,440 --> 01:12:33,199
to enter into a marriage-like bond
with Jakob Fabian.
907
01:12:35,000 --> 01:12:39,519
If, however, Fabian unexpectedly proves
unworthy of you,
908
01:12:39,640 --> 01:12:42,999
you'll immediately become my possession.
909
01:12:43,120 --> 01:12:45,759
Although property is actually...
910
01:12:46,040 --> 01:12:47,559
theft.
911
01:12:54,760 --> 01:12:56,399
Are you all right?
912
01:12:58,880 --> 01:13:00,559
Are you all right?
913
01:13:01,840 --> 01:13:06,359
Poor me has to marry mean old Mr. Labude
if I don't behave.
914
01:13:12,400 --> 01:13:14,359
Impressive, Miss Battenberg.
915
01:13:16,360 --> 01:13:18,199
Formidable.
916
01:13:21,920 --> 01:13:24,399
I'd love to see the sunrise.
917
01:13:24,680 --> 01:13:26,359
Campari orange.
918
01:13:32,520 --> 01:13:35,879
Your parents' beds
are positioned strangely.
919
01:13:38,640 --> 01:13:42,079
They've never spent the night
in that room together.
920
01:13:48,360 --> 01:13:52,719
Cornelia is going to audition for a role
at her film company.
921
01:13:55,440 --> 01:13:58,399
A director discovered her.
Makart. Know him?
922
01:13:58,520 --> 01:14:00,399
Uh-uh. Is he famous?
923
01:14:03,120 --> 01:14:05,639
- Makes movies with Dietrich.
- Oh!
924
01:14:10,080 --> 01:14:12,239
She really wants to do it.
925
01:14:12,360 --> 01:14:16,559
It's not surprising.
She seems to have talent.
926
01:14:18,400 --> 01:14:23,599
But she's too clever to be an actress.
You'll end up in a cozy home.
927
01:14:31,080 --> 01:14:33,719
Write her a scene for the audition.
928
01:14:34,200 --> 01:14:36,359
She'll think highly of you.
929
01:15:38,600 --> 01:15:41,639
Sorry, things went on a bit long
at the office.
930
01:15:43,440 --> 01:15:46,519
Hello, darling. Do you drink at work?
931
01:15:46,640 --> 01:15:49,559
Fischer treated us for his birthday.
932
01:15:49,680 --> 01:15:52,159
- Did you give him a gift?
- No, why?
933
01:15:52,280 --> 01:15:55,879
- I can't bear him.
- I give my neighbours birthday gifts.
934
01:15:59,920 --> 01:16:03,519
The air is stifling.
Can't you air properly?
935
01:16:03,640 --> 01:16:06,519
Sit down.
You're making me nervous.
936
01:16:07,200 --> 01:16:11,839
Your father forgets to air too.
It stops you thinking properly!
937
01:16:14,320 --> 01:16:16,559
It's nice that you're here.
938
01:16:19,320 --> 01:16:21,759
What do you listen to in Berlin?
939
01:16:23,120 --> 01:16:25,959
What do we listen to in Berlin? Hm...
940
01:16:28,000 --> 01:16:29,839
Weintraubs Syncopators.
941
01:16:29,960 --> 01:16:31,639
Syncopators?
942
01:16:39,920 --> 01:16:41,439
Nice.
943
01:16:42,920 --> 01:16:44,879
How do you dance to it?
944
01:16:47,480 --> 01:16:50,519
- No. I can't do it.
- Come on, I'll lead!
945
01:16:53,920 --> 01:16:57,719
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight...
946
01:17:17,040 --> 01:17:19,159
- And then kick.
- Kick?
947
01:17:19,280 --> 01:17:21,119
One, two, three, four, kick!
948
01:17:21,400 --> 01:17:23,119
- Kick!
- Kick!
949
01:17:27,200 --> 01:17:28,999
And now we jump.
950
01:17:29,120 --> 01:17:33,079
- ♪ Whenever I'm a happy guy... ♪
- One, two, three, four, five, six...
951
01:17:33,200 --> 01:17:35,319
One, two, three, four, five, six...
952
01:17:39,320 --> 01:17:40,999
And turn!
953
01:17:41,120 --> 01:17:42,639
Bravo.
954
01:17:43,960 --> 01:17:46,319
- Hello, Cornelia Battenberg.
- Fabian.
955
01:17:46,440 --> 01:17:49,359
A pleasure.
That's my gramophone, still.
956
01:17:49,640 --> 01:17:52,639
We only have two records.
I've pawned the rest.
957
01:17:53,360 --> 01:17:56,399
Tomorrow the gramophone goes.
Who needs it?
958
01:17:59,000 --> 01:18:00,519
Well...
959
01:18:01,720 --> 01:18:05,759
- My son wrote to me about you.
- He writes beautifully, doesn't he?
960
01:18:06,400 --> 01:18:09,679
- You can dance with me too.
- I will. Now?
961
01:18:09,800 --> 01:18:11,119
Yes.
962
01:18:11,240 --> 01:18:13,079
One, two, three...
963
01:18:15,280 --> 01:18:19,039
- We should go. My treat.
- Yes. I mean certainly not.
964
01:18:19,160 --> 01:18:21,479
Yes. I hope that's fine with you?
965
01:18:21,600 --> 01:18:23,999
- Not at all.
- Wait one moment.
966
01:18:29,960 --> 01:18:31,879
- For me?
- Mm-hm.
967
01:18:33,160 --> 01:18:34,679
- May I?
- Yes.
968
01:18:37,400 --> 01:18:41,479
It was meant for your birthday,
but now is a good occasion.
969
01:18:42,320 --> 01:18:44,039
I didn't say anything.
970
01:18:48,080 --> 01:18:49,599
Fabian!
971
01:18:53,880 --> 01:18:56,279
I'll put it on. Do we have time?
972
01:18:56,400 --> 01:18:57,919
Of course!
973
01:19:02,520 --> 01:19:06,479
- She calls you by your surname?
- Yes. Everyone here does.
974
01:19:11,320 --> 01:19:16,119
- Yes, but only reasonable questions.
- How much was the dress?
975
01:19:49,600 --> 01:19:52,199
I wouldn't be so sure about that.
976
01:19:57,320 --> 01:19:59,319
No, it isn't him.
977
01:19:59,680 --> 01:20:01,679
- Enjoy!
- Enjoy!
978
01:20:05,240 --> 01:20:08,679
HITLER ON ANNIVERSARY OF CONSTITUTION
WEDNESDAY, 12 AUGUST 1931
979
01:20:08,800 --> 01:20:10,639
Where's Labude?
980
01:20:11,440 --> 01:20:16,079
- Didn't you tell him I'd come today?
- He had to travel to Hamburg.
981
01:20:16,560 --> 01:20:18,959
- You can take that.
- Certainly.
982
01:20:19,080 --> 01:20:20,599
It's draughty!
983
01:20:22,000 --> 01:20:24,919
Leave the menu. We'll get a new one.
984
01:20:25,200 --> 01:20:27,079
- Nice here, right?
- Tasty.
985
01:20:27,520 --> 01:20:30,359
Mother, could you come please?
Excuse me.
986
01:20:30,640 --> 01:20:32,799
- Anything free?
- It's all taken.
987
01:20:32,920 --> 01:20:35,239
- Outside?
- Can I have a cigarette?
988
01:20:35,360 --> 01:20:39,239
Oh, Jakob,
the evening sun is shining over there.
989
01:20:41,560 --> 01:20:42,999
Where, there?
990
01:20:43,280 --> 01:20:45,279
- I see.
- Sure.
991
01:20:45,400 --> 01:20:48,639
- To what?
- I'll regret whatever I don't say.
992
01:20:49,160 --> 01:20:50,879
- To all of us?
- Yes.
993
01:20:51,000 --> 01:20:53,919
- I like that. To the three of us.
- To us.
994
01:20:54,240 --> 01:20:57,999
Dramatists, costume designers,
production heads, directors...
995
01:20:58,480 --> 01:21:00,479
You walk the corridors thinking
996
01:21:00,760 --> 01:21:03,119
it must be full of important people.
997
01:21:03,240 --> 01:21:07,159
They're all elegant,
educated and attractive
998
01:21:07,440 --> 01:21:09,879
and work towards one goal.
999
01:21:10,160 --> 01:21:12,479
Your cheeks are really pink.
1000
01:21:12,760 --> 01:21:15,599
- You noticed something new about me!
- Yes.
1001
01:21:15,720 --> 01:21:18,639
- Did you enjoy it?
- Yes, it was grand.
1002
01:21:18,760 --> 01:21:22,759
- Very good.
- Dessert is fresh apricot dumplings.
1003
01:21:23,040 --> 01:21:26,239
Keep quiet! It's just a few questions.
1004
01:21:26,520 --> 01:21:29,119
- And crème bavaroise.
- Crème bavaroise...
1005
01:21:30,480 --> 01:21:32,199
Could you tell me what time it is?
1006
01:21:33,480 --> 01:21:36,039
Can you tell me what time it is?
1007
01:21:36,160 --> 01:21:38,399
- Both for all three?
- No.
1008
01:21:39,160 --> 01:21:41,879
- Both three times.
- You don't have to.
1009
01:21:42,600 --> 01:21:45,919
- You don't have much yourself.
- Don't insult me.
1010
01:21:46,360 --> 01:21:48,900
Crème bavaroise.
1011
01:21:49,300 --> 01:21:51,400
Crème bavaroise.
1012
01:21:52,080 --> 01:21:54,519
THE SUCCESSFUL PRODUCER
EDWIN MAKART!!!
1013
01:22:10,720 --> 01:22:12,799
"SHE'S SITTING IN THE GARDEN."
1014
01:22:17,200 --> 01:22:19,799
- "THAT'S MAKART."
- "WHERE?"
1015
01:22:31,880 --> 01:22:34,559
Cigarette? What? You don't smoke?
1016
01:22:34,680 --> 01:22:36,919
- I've never tried it.
- Never?
1017
01:22:37,040 --> 01:22:38,279
No.
1018
01:22:42,360 --> 01:22:45,479
I'll just say hello and introduce you.
1019
01:22:48,480 --> 01:22:50,439
And then... Again!
1020
01:22:51,520 --> 01:22:53,999
- A unique taste.
- You get used to it.
1021
01:22:54,120 --> 01:22:55,799
Miss Battenberg!
1022
01:22:55,920 --> 01:22:58,039
Good evening. You, here?
1023
01:22:58,320 --> 01:23:01,159
- Evening.
- Wonderful to see you. Sorry.
1024
01:23:01,440 --> 01:23:05,079
How rude. Cornelia Battenberg,
international film law.
1025
01:23:05,200 --> 01:23:07,079
Very talented.
1026
01:23:07,360 --> 01:23:10,839
She's doing test shots soon.
Might be a new star.
1027
01:23:13,680 --> 01:23:17,479
- Is this your little brother?
- Jakob Fabian, author.
1028
01:23:17,920 --> 01:23:20,319
I see! Very impressive.
1029
01:23:21,040 --> 01:23:23,279
And the two of you...
1030
01:23:23,760 --> 01:23:27,319
you are...
1031
01:23:32,080 --> 01:23:35,079
Well, make some room. Have a drink.
1032
01:23:35,200 --> 01:23:36,719
Evening.
1033
01:23:40,040 --> 01:23:43,359
- We'll make room.
- It's fine. My mother is there.
1034
01:23:43,480 --> 01:23:46,239
- I have to go back.
- Your mother. How nice.
1035
01:23:46,360 --> 01:23:50,039
- It'd be nice if you stayed.
- Wave to his mother!
1036
01:23:50,320 --> 01:23:52,559
- Hello!
- Okay? I'll go back.
1037
01:23:53,400 --> 01:23:56,639
- You really don't want anything? Later?
- Sure.
1038
01:23:56,760 --> 01:24:00,159
- Your mother is very welcome, too.
- Thanks.
1039
01:24:07,640 --> 01:24:10,119
So? She'll stay there?
1040
01:24:10,680 --> 01:24:13,719
Yes, briefly. It's work related.
1041
01:24:15,120 --> 01:24:17,239
That's how it is in film.
1042
01:24:21,960 --> 01:24:24,079
- Aren't you well?
- Oh, I am.
1043
01:24:24,720 --> 01:24:29,119
I was just thinking about something,
to write down tonight.
1044
01:24:54,880 --> 01:24:58,879
- She'll come later.
- You can stay, too. I'll get home fine.
1045
01:24:59,000 --> 01:25:02,719
When my mother comes to visit me
I take care of her.
1046
01:25:03,600 --> 01:25:05,119
Let's go.
1047
01:25:05,840 --> 01:25:08,439
- It was nice, right?
- Yes, but...
1048
01:25:09,040 --> 01:25:11,999
- You can stay here.
- Mother, stop. Come.
1049
01:25:13,160 --> 01:25:14,799
I missed you.
1050
01:25:15,560 --> 01:25:17,319
I missed you, too.
1051
01:25:19,440 --> 01:25:22,439
Your father will be glad
to see you again.
1052
01:25:22,560 --> 01:25:25,999
- I know.
- We have a vacancy at our newspaper.
1053
01:25:26,280 --> 01:25:28,919
- Good evening.
- Oh, yes. Good evening.
1054
01:25:29,600 --> 01:25:31,759
I have a job here.
1055
01:25:32,880 --> 01:25:37,879
- Cornelia wouldn't come to Dresden.
- I said it. You can think about it.
1056
01:25:38,000 --> 01:25:41,639
We'll find champagne
for Cornelia in Dresden.
1057
01:26:04,760 --> 01:26:07,799
GANG CAUGHT
SCENE OF CRIME: CLOCKMAKER'S BED
1058
01:26:55,040 --> 01:26:56,839
Is she sleeping?
1059
01:26:58,040 --> 01:26:59,079
Yes.
1060
01:27:00,520 --> 01:27:03,159
Should I have behaved differently?
1061
01:27:05,200 --> 01:27:06,879
No, why?
1062
01:27:08,200 --> 01:27:09,359
I got it.
1063
01:27:09,640 --> 01:27:11,719
Makart is your protector.
1064
01:27:17,080 --> 01:27:20,799
Someone was spying on us
that first night, right?
1065
01:27:21,440 --> 01:27:23,159
On the street.
1066
01:27:27,520 --> 01:27:30,719
I'd like to have known
about that sooner.
1067
01:27:44,040 --> 01:27:46,559
There's nothing to know, Fabian.
1068
01:27:50,480 --> 01:27:53,039
You know that I can't stagnate.
1069
01:27:56,000 --> 01:27:59,999
He can give me a career.
I need to know if I want that.
1070
01:28:00,120 --> 01:28:01,679
I don't get it.
1071
01:28:02,400 --> 01:28:05,399
How long have you been at his company?
1072
01:28:05,520 --> 01:28:09,879
You sometimes say it's been a long time,
then you say a few weeks.
1073
01:28:10,600 --> 01:28:13,079
Did you even study? Did you?
1074
01:28:13,600 --> 01:28:16,719
- What?
- How long ago did he discover you?
1075
01:28:23,280 --> 01:28:25,039
Don't say anything.
1076
01:28:26,720 --> 01:28:29,639
You keep your options open in life.
1077
01:28:35,480 --> 01:28:37,519
He wants me to move out.
1078
01:28:38,120 --> 01:28:40,799
He'll pay for a suitable flat.
1079
01:28:40,920 --> 01:28:42,439
He says.
1080
01:28:44,480 --> 01:28:47,719
What are we to do?
Neither of us has money!
1081
01:28:52,160 --> 01:28:55,319
What money did you buy the dress with?
1082
01:28:55,440 --> 01:28:57,279
Or did you steal it?
1083
01:28:57,400 --> 01:29:00,319
- What?
- I saw you at the coat rack.
1084
01:29:01,080 --> 01:29:05,079
- Did you steal from your friend?
- I didn't steal from Labude.
1085
01:29:05,840 --> 01:29:10,399
I bought the dress weeks ago,
but I still haven't paid the rent.
1086
01:29:13,320 --> 01:29:16,839
I thought I'd get work
from Zacharias' paper. Nothing.
1087
01:29:19,120 --> 01:29:20,639
I'm sorry.
1088
01:29:22,840 --> 01:29:24,359
Sorry.
1089
01:29:25,080 --> 01:29:27,239
Listen, we'll make it. Yeah?
1090
01:29:27,360 --> 01:29:29,159
- Yeah?
- Yes.
1091
01:29:29,760 --> 01:29:33,479
Let's be as unscrupulous as Olga's gang.
1092
01:29:34,440 --> 01:29:36,279
Yeah? From Wedding.
1093
01:29:36,400 --> 01:29:40,239
We'll take everything
from the Babelsberg bigwigs. Yeah?
1094
01:29:40,360 --> 01:29:42,639
Babelsberg is our bank.
1095
01:29:43,320 --> 01:29:45,039
- Yeah?
- Yes.
1096
01:29:47,040 --> 01:29:50,999
I'll prepare the cleaver
in case Makart wants it otherwise.
1097
01:30:00,160 --> 01:30:02,279
I've got something for you.
1098
01:30:07,120 --> 01:30:08,879
For your audition.
1099
01:30:11,840 --> 01:30:13,679
Don't read it now.
1100
01:30:14,920 --> 01:30:16,439
Wait.
1101
01:31:44,840 --> 01:31:46,679
I'm calling it a day!
1102
01:31:55,200 --> 01:31:57,519
- Want a cup?
- Mm-hm. Careful!
1103
01:31:57,640 --> 01:31:59,159
Oh, yes.
1104
01:32:00,560 --> 01:32:02,719
- You can take more.
- Thanks.
1105
01:32:02,840 --> 01:32:05,399
- Married 20 years? Twenty!
- Yes.
1106
01:32:05,520 --> 01:32:07,999
- Twenty years. A lovely time.
- Great.
1107
01:32:13,400 --> 01:32:15,559
Oh, there he is. Sleep well?
1108
01:32:15,680 --> 01:32:18,279
- Yes, I did.
- Aren't you late?
1109
01:32:19,040 --> 01:32:20,559
No, it's fine.
1110
01:32:20,840 --> 01:32:24,359
Mother, we'll meet
at the station entrance at five.
1111
01:32:24,480 --> 01:32:27,799
Yes, off you go.
I'll tidy up the room a bit.
1112
01:32:27,920 --> 01:32:31,519
The coat strap is off.
Go without. It's warm out.
1113
01:32:31,640 --> 01:32:35,079
Yes.
It's a pity you were only here one day.
1114
01:32:36,600 --> 01:32:38,399
Ail right, I'll go.
1115
01:32:39,040 --> 01:32:41,079
Miss Battenberg moved out.
1116
01:32:43,800 --> 01:32:45,319
I know.
1117
01:32:45,680 --> 01:32:47,199
Get to work.
1118
01:32:47,480 --> 01:32:50,479
Work is healthy.
And say hello to Fischer.
1119
01:33:09,600 --> 01:33:11,559
Take your stuff elsewhere!
1120
01:33:14,800 --> 01:33:17,679
Fabian stood on the curb
watching cars.
1121
01:33:18,360 --> 01:33:21,679
A car stopped, an old lady got out.
1122
01:33:22,280 --> 01:33:24,919
He helped her off the footboard.
1123
01:33:25,640 --> 01:33:27,159
For me?
1124
01:33:27,680 --> 01:33:30,279
He unwittingly earned ten pfennigs.
1125
01:33:30,400 --> 01:33:31,519
Taxi!
1126
01:33:31,800 --> 01:33:36,439
He pocketed the coin, stepped back
to the curb and opened another door.
1127
01:33:36,560 --> 01:33:38,279
This is my taxi!
1128
01:33:39,160 --> 01:33:40,679
Make room.
1129
01:33:42,960 --> 01:33:45,919
- Here!
- ...said a man and gave him ten pfennigs.
1130
01:33:46,840 --> 01:33:50,719
If Labude saw the literary history
expert opening doors...
1131
01:33:51,000 --> 01:33:52,799
"THE LATEST PAPERS!
CHANCELLOR'S BIG SPEECH!"
1132
01:33:53,080 --> 01:33:56,559
The SPD,
Germany's most shameless party,
1133
01:33:56,840 --> 01:34:01,079
to blame for hardship, hunger,
rich bigwigs and gaunt workers.
1134
01:34:02,680 --> 01:34:03,719
Here.
1135
01:34:04,000 --> 01:34:06,239
It was turning into a job.
1136
01:34:06,360 --> 01:34:10,159
Fifteen minutes later,
Fabian had earned 65 pfennigs.
1137
01:34:10,920 --> 01:34:12,719
It's turning into a job.
1138
01:34:13,000 --> 01:34:16,079
- A charitable gift perhaps?
- Thank you.
1139
01:34:18,480 --> 01:34:21,079
I've been watching you, my boy.
1140
01:34:23,120 --> 01:34:25,239
Are things going so badly?
1141
01:34:27,280 --> 01:34:30,599
Help carry these parcels.
You've had the tip.
1142
01:34:32,640 --> 01:34:34,439
Lost your job?
1143
01:34:35,840 --> 01:34:38,239
We can't count on Dr. Moll either.
1144
01:34:38,360 --> 01:34:41,599
He's taken a ship to France
or somewhere.
1145
01:34:41,720 --> 01:34:43,919
The police reside with us now.
1146
01:34:44,040 --> 01:34:48,239
Moll has been embezzling
clients' money for years now.
1147
01:34:48,360 --> 01:34:50,039
I underestimated him.
1148
01:34:50,160 --> 01:34:52,199
What do you live on now?
1149
01:34:52,840 --> 01:34:56,759
I opened a guesthouse.
You can get big flats cheap now.
1150
01:34:56,880 --> 01:34:59,919
An old friend gave me the furniture.
1151
01:35:00,040 --> 01:35:03,479
That is, the friendship is young,
the friend is old.
1152
01:35:03,600 --> 01:35:06,319
He owns a few peepholes in the doors.
1153
01:35:06,600 --> 01:35:09,119
Who lives
in this transparent guesthouse?
1154
01:35:09,240 --> 01:35:13,799
My club of unchristian young men
entertains high-society women.
1155
01:35:14,280 --> 01:35:17,679
Ladies neither pretty nor slim,
and far from young.
1156
01:35:18,360 --> 01:35:20,159
But they're rich.
1157
01:35:20,280 --> 01:35:22,319
They pay whatever I ask.
1158
01:35:22,600 --> 01:35:27,439
Whether they have to steal from
or kill their husbands, they come.
1159
01:35:28,600 --> 01:35:30,279
A brothel with men?
1160
01:35:30,400 --> 01:35:32,559
Yes. I don't accept everyone.
1161
01:35:33,440 --> 01:35:35,799
Is there an admission exam?
1162
01:35:35,920 --> 01:35:38,079
Real talent is hard to find.
1163
01:35:38,840 --> 01:35:41,119
Naturals are more common.
1164
01:35:44,720 --> 01:35:46,839
I have a proposal for you.
1165
01:35:47,480 --> 01:35:49,159
You're too picky.
1166
01:35:49,520 --> 01:35:51,559
You're too old for the job.
1167
01:35:51,680 --> 01:35:54,079
My clients prefer 20-year-olds.
1168
01:35:56,880 --> 01:35:59,759
And you suffer from false pride.
1169
01:36:02,040 --> 01:36:04,959
But I could use you as a secretary.
1170
01:36:05,560 --> 01:36:08,439
I need some proper bookkeeping now.
1171
01:36:10,240 --> 01:36:12,079
You can work for me.
1172
01:36:12,720 --> 01:36:14,359
Live with me.
1173
01:36:14,880 --> 01:36:17,239
What do you think of that?
1174
01:36:18,080 --> 01:36:19,999
Two new ones? Really?
1175
01:36:20,560 --> 01:36:22,079
Fabulous!
1176
01:36:24,160 --> 01:36:26,039
Gaston, is it your day off?
1177
01:36:26,520 --> 01:36:29,519
Mackie's showing me the car
Number 7 promised him.
1178
01:36:29,800 --> 01:36:33,079
Go to your room.
What kind of business is this?
1179
01:36:33,200 --> 01:36:34,719
Go!
1180
01:36:35,520 --> 01:36:39,159
Number 12 has an appointment at three.
You need to rest.
1181
01:36:39,280 --> 01:36:40,919
Take the boxes.
1182
01:36:44,320 --> 01:36:46,519
Are you refusing me again?
1183
01:36:49,120 --> 01:36:52,399
Take a week to consider it.
You know the address.
1184
01:36:55,160 --> 01:36:56,839
Think it over.
1185
01:36:57,760 --> 01:37:00,159
Starving is a matter of taste.
1186
01:37:14,760 --> 01:37:17,919
- Stop it. You don't have to accompany me.
- I do.
1187
01:37:22,120 --> 01:37:24,799
It's no shame to be unemployed.
1188
01:37:27,720 --> 01:37:30,719
You were never good at keeping secrets.
1189
01:37:33,040 --> 01:37:36,599
Promise you'll sit
in the middle carriage, yes?
1190
01:37:36,720 --> 01:37:38,999
Yes, if there's a spot.
1191
01:37:39,280 --> 01:37:43,559
- It lessens the effects of an accident.
- If you say so.
1192
01:37:45,120 --> 01:37:46,959
I'll find a new job.
1193
01:37:49,960 --> 01:37:53,759
- Yes, will you see each other again?
- This weekend.
1194
01:37:53,880 --> 01:37:55,559
Not till then?
1195
01:38:07,200 --> 01:38:09,119
I'll visit you soon.
1196
01:38:34,840 --> 01:38:38,279
- Have you read the newspaper yet?
- No.
1197
01:38:38,560 --> 01:38:40,599
I bough it earlier...
1198
01:38:51,200 --> 01:38:52,359
"A little, with love."
1199
01:38:52,480 --> 01:38:56,359
"Eat the schnitzel first.
The sausage will keep for days."
1200
01:39:13,440 --> 01:39:19,079
Mathematically, it was a zero-sum deal.
Both had the same amount as before.
1201
01:39:19,200 --> 01:39:21,999
But good deeds can't be undone.
1202
01:39:22,120 --> 01:39:26,039
The moral calculation is different
from the arithmetic one.
1203
01:40:25,560 --> 01:40:28,159
Fabian's heart was insensible.
1204
01:40:29,440 --> 01:40:31,639
He sat long
in his furnished room.
1205
01:40:31,760 --> 01:40:34,679
Somewhere in this vast city
lay Cornelia
1206
01:40:34,800 --> 01:40:38,519
with a 50-year-old man,
closing her eyes in submission.
1207
01:40:38,640 --> 01:40:39,879
Where?
1208
01:40:40,000 --> 01:40:45,079
He wanted to tear down the walls
of every building until he found them.
1209
01:40:45,360 --> 01:40:47,199
Where was Cornelia?
1210
01:41:05,600 --> 01:41:07,839
No, Cornelia had made it far.
1211
01:41:08,360 --> 01:41:10,479
He couldn't call her back.
1212
01:41:10,600 --> 01:41:14,119
If he had leaned out of the window
and said,
1213
01:41:14,240 --> 01:41:18,399
"Come back up. I don't want you to work,
to go to Makart,"
1214
01:41:18,520 --> 01:41:23,479
she'd have replied, "How dare you?
Give me money or don't impede me."
1215
01:41:24,080 --> 01:41:28,559
He had no other way of helping himself.
He stuck out his tongue at the sun.
1216
01:41:30,680 --> 01:41:32,199
Yes?
1217
01:41:32,960 --> 01:41:34,439
Mr. Fabian.
1218
01:41:34,920 --> 01:41:36,439
Can we talk?
1219
01:41:36,560 --> 01:41:38,319
Yes, certainly.
1220
01:41:41,600 --> 01:41:43,679
Stephan got arrested.
1221
01:41:44,000 --> 01:41:45,519
In Hamburg.
1222
01:41:45,960 --> 01:41:47,959
- When?
- Sunday.
1223
01:41:49,360 --> 01:41:54,319
He was drunk and ran after his
ex-fiancée on the street, trousers down.
1224
01:41:54,440 --> 01:41:56,159
- Political?
- Oh, yes.
1225
01:41:56,720 --> 01:41:59,639
Before that
he agitated a whole day long.
1226
01:41:59,920 --> 01:42:03,599
He held rallies for dockworkers,
students and so on.
1227
01:42:03,880 --> 01:42:09,119
I brought him home. I spoke to him.
He promised to forget Leda and so on.
1228
01:42:09,920 --> 01:42:12,919
But he disappeared again last night.
1229
01:42:17,880 --> 01:42:20,199
Germany, awaken...
1230
01:42:20,320 --> 01:42:22,039
I'm very worried.
1231
01:42:22,560 --> 01:42:24,879
Fabian, can we look for him?
1232
01:42:27,240 --> 01:42:29,959
I made sure we'd be let in.
1233
01:42:37,960 --> 01:42:38,999
There.
1234
01:42:41,600 --> 01:42:43,439
- May I?
- Yes.
1235
01:42:49,200 --> 01:42:50,719
Oh.
1236
01:42:52,000 --> 01:42:53,519
Aha?
1237
01:42:55,480 --> 01:42:58,239
It has never looked like this here.
1238
01:43:08,200 --> 01:43:10,319
Blaise Pascal wrote a passage
1239
01:43:10,600 --> 01:43:13,719
where he speaks of order
as a deadly omen.
1240
01:43:13,840 --> 01:43:14,839
Shit.
1241
01:43:18,600 --> 01:43:20,159
- You have my number?
- Yes.
1242
01:43:20,280 --> 01:43:24,439
Defense lawyer Labude Senior,
notorious in court,
1243
01:43:24,560 --> 01:43:28,959
and the unemployed Dr. Fabian
are not an effective search party.
1244
01:43:32,720 --> 01:43:35,719
They inquire after the lost man,
keep watch
1245
01:43:36,000 --> 01:43:39,599
and make calls,
voices fearful, hearts panicked.
1246
01:43:42,120 --> 01:43:44,959
Berlin's heap of stones
does not answer.
1247
01:43:47,560 --> 01:43:49,540
He has to get in touch.
1248
01:43:51,820 --> 01:43:53,680
He has to get in touch.
1249
01:43:53,880 --> 01:43:56,959
Does he like my work?
Does he like life?
1250
01:44:05,080 --> 01:44:06,719
It just can't...
1251
01:44:07,760 --> 01:44:09,959
It just can't be that bad.
1252
01:44:16,400 --> 01:44:21,239
In the late afternoon
Fabian is elsewhere, outside the city.
1253
01:44:21,520 --> 01:44:23,919
SITE PLAN
UNIVERSUM FILM LTD, BERLIN
1254
01:44:24,480 --> 01:44:27,639
He suddenly feels
like he has a date here.
1255
01:44:27,760 --> 01:44:29,959
Studio Three...
1256
01:44:30,240 --> 01:44:31,879
And he does.
1257
01:44:59,440 --> 01:45:01,199
Thanks.
1258
01:45:06,200 --> 01:45:07,719
Certainly!
1259
01:45:08,320 --> 01:45:11,919
A wise man who can be told to say
what others wish.
1260
01:45:12,040 --> 01:45:14,079
Indifference instead of love.
1261
01:45:14,360 --> 01:45:17,719
That means nothing instead of something.
1262
01:45:17,840 --> 01:45:20,199
Learn, mimical court-parrot!
1263
01:45:20,840 --> 01:45:23,519
Learn from a woman that indifference...
1264
01:45:23,640 --> 01:45:25,599
- Thanks, enough.
- No!
1265
01:45:25,880 --> 01:45:28,519
- It's a beautiful part.
- I've seen it.
1266
01:45:29,240 --> 01:45:31,239
No! Not from me.
1267
01:45:31,800 --> 01:45:35,119
- Miss, you just don't have it. That'll do.
- No!
1268
01:45:35,240 --> 01:45:37,359
Please! You haven't heard the end.
1269
01:45:37,640 --> 01:45:40,519
No alterations. We'll stay as we are.
1270
01:45:40,640 --> 01:45:42,399
- Camera, too!
- Goodbye.
1271
01:45:42,520 --> 01:45:45,439
Yes, the camera, too.
Everything as is.
1272
01:45:49,880 --> 01:45:51,559
Miss Battenberg.
1273
01:45:51,680 --> 01:45:54,799
Very nice.
You look lovely in this dress.
1274
01:45:54,920 --> 01:45:57,359
It suits your eyes. What's that?
1275
01:45:58,200 --> 01:46:00,999
A monologue? No need to be nervous.
1276
01:46:01,440 --> 01:46:04,639
She's been with us three months.
Film law.
1277
01:46:04,760 --> 01:46:06,559
Look at this face.
1278
01:46:06,680 --> 01:46:08,639
The anatomy. The character!
1279
01:46:08,920 --> 01:46:11,239
I couldn't help noticing.
1280
01:46:12,600 --> 01:46:14,199
Over a bit.
1281
01:46:14,520 --> 01:46:16,159
Stand up straight.
1282
01:46:16,840 --> 01:46:19,959
She's nervous now, of course.
Put on the hat.
1283
01:46:24,200 --> 01:46:25,439
That's something.
1284
01:46:26,000 --> 01:46:28,119
Hat off. It casts a shadow.
1285
01:46:30,160 --> 01:46:34,519
Don't mess this up, darling,
and you needn't worry about the future.
1286
01:46:35,120 --> 01:46:37,559
Right! Then... camera.
1287
01:46:38,320 --> 01:46:39,359
Sound!
1288
01:46:40,200 --> 01:46:43,199
I imagine how she can be formed.
1289
01:46:43,840 --> 01:46:47,239
Although she is sometimes
a bit unruly, right?
1290
01:46:49,960 --> 01:46:52,159
- Camera's running.
- You see?
1291
01:46:53,000 --> 01:46:54,799
Beauty and the Beast.
1292
01:46:54,920 --> 01:46:56,679
- Go on.
- Ready!
1293
01:46:57,320 --> 01:46:59,759
Cornelia Buttenberg. Take one.
1294
01:47:00,560 --> 01:47:02,079
Battenberg.
1295
01:47:02,200 --> 01:47:03,999
All right, then...
1296
01:47:04,280 --> 01:47:05,799
Go on.
1297
01:47:09,320 --> 01:47:10,719
Dear friend!
1298
01:47:11,280 --> 01:47:14,639
Isn't it better
to go too early than too late?
1299
01:47:14,760 --> 01:47:17,799
I was standing next to you by the sofa.
You slept.
1300
01:47:17,920 --> 01:47:20,759
You are still asleep now
as I write to you.
1301
01:47:20,880 --> 01:47:24,319
I'd like to stay, but imagine if I did.
1302
01:47:24,440 --> 01:47:27,559
A few more weeks and you'd be unhappy.
1303
01:47:28,640 --> 01:47:33,319
While you were alone and I wasn't around
nothing could happen to you.
1304
01:47:33,440 --> 01:47:36,119
Things will be as they were before.
1305
01:47:38,160 --> 01:47:39,959
Are you very sad?
1306
01:47:44,200 --> 01:47:46,479
The other man is 50 years old.
1307
01:47:46,600 --> 01:47:50,079
He looks like a well-dressed,
retired wrestler.
1308
01:47:51,680 --> 01:47:56,679
My beloved friend, I feel like
I've sold myself to anatomical science.
1309
01:47:58,480 --> 01:48:02,199
Shall I go into your room once more
and wake you?
1310
01:48:03,960 --> 01:48:06,039
No, I'll let you sleep.
1311
01:48:06,640 --> 01:48:08,479
I won't crumble.
1312
01:48:08,600 --> 01:48:12,239
I'll imagine the doctor examining me
in this bright world.
1313
01:48:12,640 --> 01:48:17,119
He wants to study me, anatomically
and psychologically. It must be so.
1314
01:48:20,480 --> 01:48:23,359
You only get out of the dirt
by getting dirty.
1315
01:48:24,080 --> 01:48:25,759
And we want out!
1316
01:48:26,040 --> 01:48:27,799
I wrote "we".
1317
01:48:28,080 --> 01:48:29,999
Do you understand me?
1318
01:48:31,000 --> 01:48:34,279
I'm leaving you
in order to stay with you.
1319
01:48:35,680 --> 01:48:37,879
Will you keep on loving me?
1320
01:48:38,520 --> 01:48:42,479
Will you still want to look at me?
Be able to hug me?
1321
01:48:42,760 --> 01:48:44,639
Despite the other man?
1322
01:48:47,840 --> 01:48:52,879
Sunday afternoon I'll wait for you
in Café Spalteholz from four o'clock.
1323
01:48:53,920 --> 01:48:56,919
What will become of me
if you don't come?
1324
01:49:03,000 --> 01:49:06,159
What will become of me
if you don't come?
1325
01:49:13,360 --> 01:49:17,559
Goodness, that gets under your skin!
Miss, who wrote that?
1326
01:49:20,280 --> 01:49:22,119
I did, to a friend.
1327
01:49:23,240 --> 01:49:24,999
She's a poet too!
1328
01:49:25,920 --> 01:49:31,879
That mass of talent is almost unbearable
for a mere mortal, Miss Battenberg!
1329
01:49:57,360 --> 01:49:59,159
Sorry, the exit?
1330
01:49:59,280 --> 01:50:00,999
Yeah? Thanks.
1331
01:50:02,600 --> 01:50:04,599
Where is the exit?
1332
01:50:05,080 --> 01:50:06,639
Oh! Thanks.
1333
01:50:29,800 --> 01:50:32,799
140,000 metal workers on strike!
1334
01:50:37,640 --> 01:50:39,599
LEARN TO SWIM
1335
01:50:44,120 --> 01:50:45,919
Where is Labude?
1336
01:50:50,640 --> 01:50:52,239
No! My shoes.
1337
01:50:52,960 --> 01:50:54,759
Where is Labude?
1338
01:51:02,960 --> 01:51:05,079
"English airship explodes."
1339
01:51:07,520 --> 01:51:10,119
"Nine-year-old jumps from window."
1340
01:51:13,520 --> 01:51:18,559
"Strychnine stored next to lentils."
Everything's out of control!
1341
01:51:18,840 --> 01:51:20,359
Heavens!
1342
01:51:21,440 --> 01:51:23,199
Where is Labude?
1343
01:51:23,560 --> 01:51:26,599
"140,000 metal workers on strike".
1344
01:51:37,240 --> 01:51:38,999
I'll bite you.
1345
01:51:42,760 --> 01:51:45,239
Look at the mess you made.
1346
01:51:45,520 --> 01:51:48,199
What is this? It splashed to here.
1347
01:51:48,480 --> 01:51:50,839
Get rid of it!
30 minutes I've...
1348
01:51:51,120 --> 01:51:53,239
- Waiter?
- No!
1349
01:51:53,360 --> 01:51:54,519
Hello!
1350
01:51:55,920 --> 01:51:57,360
Waiter!
1351
01:51:57,660 --> 01:51:59,140
Waiter!
1352
01:52:01,400 --> 01:52:04,119
- Anything else?
- Answer a question for me.
1353
01:52:04,240 --> 01:52:07,159
- Shall I go or not?
- Where, sir?
1354
01:52:07,440 --> 01:52:11,439
- You shouldn't ask but answer.
- You can kiss me all over.
1355
01:52:11,880 --> 01:52:14,159
- All over.
- Oh! I know that.
1356
01:52:14,440 --> 01:52:18,399
- Shall I go there or not?
- Then it's better you don't go.
1357
01:52:18,840 --> 01:52:21,479
- To be on the safe side.
- Right. Thanks.
1358
01:52:22,280 --> 01:52:23,719
Then I'll go.
1359
01:52:24,520 --> 01:52:27,439
- But I advised you not to.
- That's why I'm going.
1360
01:52:28,120 --> 01:52:31,559
- And if I'd advised you to go?
- I'd have gone.
1361
01:52:33,720 --> 01:52:36,319
Why did you even ask me, then?
1362
01:52:36,600 --> 01:52:38,279
If only I knew.
1363
01:52:43,360 --> 01:52:46,039
And down it goes. Down! Yes.
1364
01:52:48,240 --> 01:52:50,039
- Come on.
- My cake.
1365
01:52:50,160 --> 01:52:51,799
- Come.
- I want it!
1366
01:52:51,920 --> 01:52:53,439
Come.
1367
01:52:54,560 --> 01:52:57,399
- Keep the change, gentlemen.
- Goodbye.
1368
01:53:19,800 --> 01:53:24,599
INSTITUTE OF ACQUAINTANCE INITIATION
5TH FLOOR
1369
01:53:43,000 --> 01:53:44,039
It's open!
1370
01:53:48,640 --> 01:53:50,479
Finally, another man.
1371
01:53:50,960 --> 01:53:54,959
- Hello. Fabian.
- Kulp's moaning that this can't go on.
1372
01:53:55,080 --> 01:53:59,079
She hasn't had one in two days.
The last one was a disaster.
1373
01:53:59,280 --> 01:54:02,199
- I see. Why?
- She's a fashion illustrator.
1374
01:54:02,320 --> 01:54:05,719
He only gave her a job
for a quid pro quo.
1375
01:54:05,840 --> 01:54:10,079
- She called him an impotent geriatric.
- Those are the worst.
1376
01:54:11,200 --> 01:54:15,399
They keep trying to see
whether the defect has been rectified.
1377
01:54:21,120 --> 01:54:23,599
Afternoon nude.
Name's Selow.
1378
01:54:24,720 --> 01:54:26,319
New position, dear.
1379
01:54:26,600 --> 01:54:28,759
Get up. Don't fall asleep.
1380
01:54:29,040 --> 01:54:33,199
Legs wide apart.
Turn your upper body at a right angle.
1381
01:54:33,480 --> 01:54:36,399
Fingers interlaced behind your neck.
1382
01:54:37,480 --> 01:54:39,359
Stop! Very nice.
1383
01:54:41,160 --> 01:54:43,439
Baron, I'm cold. A drink.
1384
01:54:46,120 --> 01:54:49,559
It's true.
Miss Selow has goosebumps all over.
1385
01:54:49,680 --> 01:54:51,919
- Hands off!
- Hands off the cake!
1386
01:54:52,040 --> 01:54:53,759
The Baron's jealous.
1387
01:54:53,880 --> 01:54:56,679
- They have a thriving relationship.
- Quiet!
1388
01:55:05,160 --> 01:55:08,039
Ah, Labude! You've come back to life?
1389
01:55:09,760 --> 01:55:14,559
If you have plans with Kulp, go on.
The room is accustomed to woe.
1390
01:55:15,200 --> 01:55:17,279
My oh my oh my!
1391
01:55:17,560 --> 01:55:19,279
I do tend...
1392
01:55:19,880 --> 01:55:22,359
to moral concerns in public.
1393
01:55:22,680 --> 01:55:25,679
- There are all sorts of things!
- Yes.
1394
01:55:26,640 --> 01:55:29,519
The arms of men
are like a hot bath to her.
1395
01:55:29,800 --> 01:55:32,519
Go for it,
if you want to join in.
1396
01:55:32,800 --> 01:55:35,239
All you need is ten pfennigs.
1397
01:55:35,360 --> 01:55:37,599
Labude picks heads, you tails.
1398
01:55:37,720 --> 01:55:41,079
Kulp flips the coin.
It stirs her solar plexus.
1399
01:55:41,200 --> 01:55:43,359
Winner gets the first shot.
1400
01:55:43,640 --> 01:55:46,199
- Ten pfennigs? What?
- I don't gamble.
1401
01:55:46,480 --> 01:55:48,719
You're ruining my prices.
1402
01:55:49,600 --> 01:55:51,119
A drink!
1403
01:55:51,240 --> 01:55:55,279
- Somebody get her something!
- I'll get it out...
1404
01:55:55,400 --> 01:55:57,919
- Last position.
- More than ten pfennigs.
1405
01:55:58,040 --> 01:56:01,119
Bend your knees. Hands on knees.
1406
01:56:01,520 --> 01:56:03,319
Bottom out, head up.
1407
01:56:06,480 --> 01:56:09,759
- How do visitors pay?
- Put money down somewhere.
1408
01:56:09,880 --> 01:56:11,679
It gets collected.
1409
01:56:14,280 --> 01:56:15,439
Look!
1410
01:56:15,560 --> 01:56:17,239
He's fallen asleep.
1411
01:56:17,920 --> 01:56:21,159
Nice of you
to take good care of my friend.
1412
01:56:21,800 --> 01:56:24,399
But I think we should go home now.
1413
01:56:24,520 --> 01:56:27,799
- I can pay.
- He's been here since yesterday morning.
1414
01:56:27,920 --> 01:56:29,719
- Yeah?
- Mm-hm.
1415
01:56:31,080 --> 01:56:34,559
So many artists here need supporting.
1416
01:56:35,960 --> 01:56:38,319
We have to draft the club rules.
1417
01:56:38,600 --> 01:56:40,559
Life is a bad habit.
1418
01:56:40,680 --> 01:56:42,679
I have money. I can pay.
1419
01:56:45,320 --> 01:56:47,119
UNIVERSITY OF BERLIN
1420
01:56:47,240 --> 01:56:51,639
Fabian's mother taught him
not to read other people's mail.
1421
01:56:51,760 --> 01:56:56,599
So he stifled his curiosity,
but took charge of the letter for now.
1422
01:57:00,200 --> 01:57:01,639
It's open.
1423
01:57:13,080 --> 01:57:15,439
- Is Kulp here?
- Yes.
1424
01:57:26,560 --> 01:57:27,799
Kulp!
1425
01:57:27,920 --> 01:57:30,879
You others, disappear for an hour!
1426
01:57:32,960 --> 01:57:34,999
Gentlemen, we're leaving.
1427
01:57:35,280 --> 01:57:37,199
We have to get out.
1428
01:57:44,120 --> 01:57:46,439
Selow can stay with us, too.
1429
01:57:47,320 --> 01:57:50,119
- That was a joke, Baron.
- Come here.
1430
01:57:55,000 --> 01:57:56,879
- Hello, Wilhelmy.
- Well?
1431
01:57:57,360 --> 01:58:01,639
- So? Not dead yet?
- No, but it can't be much longer now.
1432
01:58:03,200 --> 01:58:06,599
Otherwise the money
will be gone before I am.
1433
01:58:07,920 --> 01:58:12,039
- Selow, don't drink all the gin.
- Get dressed faster. Come on!
1434
01:58:12,320 --> 01:58:13,959
Out of here!
1435
01:58:14,760 --> 01:58:18,159
The doctors told him
he'd die in a month.
1436
01:58:18,440 --> 01:58:21,519
Waiting for death
like we wait for our period.
1437
01:58:21,640 --> 01:58:24,479
I'll help him wait for 15 minutes.
1438
01:58:24,600 --> 01:58:27,679
Go to the Cousine bar. I'll come later.
1439
01:58:37,640 --> 01:58:39,159
Your coat.
1440
01:59:18,320 --> 01:59:23,439
I hope he won't hit her like last time.
He's mad others get to outlive him.
1441
01:59:23,720 --> 01:59:25,639
She loves a thrashing.
1442
01:59:26,560 --> 01:59:30,119
- She can't live off drawing.
- Yes! Fine jobs we have.
1443
01:59:48,080 --> 01:59:49,599
I can tell.
1444
01:59:49,880 --> 01:59:53,199
You think all the women here
are abnormal, right?
1445
01:59:59,600 --> 02:00:03,799
The skinny one over there
was an actor's girlfriend for years.
1446
02:00:05,280 --> 02:00:07,839
Until he suddenly kicked her out.
1447
02:00:10,000 --> 02:00:13,639
She went to an office,
slept with a clerk, had a child
1448
02:00:13,760 --> 02:00:15,599
and lost her job.
1449
02:00:17,240 --> 02:00:22,279
The clerk said he wasn't the father.
The child was sent to the countryside.
1450
02:00:22,440 --> 02:00:24,439
She got a new job, but...
1451
02:00:24,760 --> 02:00:26,799
She'd had enough of men.
1452
02:00:27,080 --> 02:00:28,919
What a surprise.
1453
02:00:29,720 --> 02:00:31,879
Do you need anything else?
1454
02:00:42,840 --> 02:00:45,879
He's been looking around the whole time.
1455
02:01:08,880 --> 02:01:11,159
Most women here are angry at men.
1456
02:01:11,440 --> 02:01:13,719
Selow is one of them, too.
1457
02:01:16,920 --> 02:01:20,559
She's only a lesbian
because she's in a sulk with men.
1458
02:01:56,920 --> 02:02:00,079
The corpse
almost beat her to death again.
1459
02:02:01,320 --> 02:02:02,999
Get the doctor!
1460
02:02:03,280 --> 02:02:06,039
- From the backroom.
- Doctor! Doctor!
1461
02:02:07,400 --> 02:02:08,919
Here's to men!
1462
02:02:11,400 --> 02:02:12,599
Where?
1463
02:02:13,600 --> 02:02:15,279
- Where?
- Here.
1464
02:02:16,120 --> 02:02:17,919
Out of the way! Move!
1465
02:02:18,040 --> 02:02:21,399
What happened? She's unconscious?
1466
02:02:21,680 --> 02:02:24,799
- The backroom. In here.
- Is that all right?
1467
02:02:25,080 --> 02:02:27,279
Do you understand me?
1468
02:02:31,200 --> 02:02:34,799
He has a good medical education.
Seen the dueling scars?
1469
02:02:35,080 --> 02:02:36,639
- The bag?
- Here.
1470
02:02:36,920 --> 02:02:38,879
He was in a fraternity.
1471
02:02:39,960 --> 02:02:43,239
A morphine addict
with a permit to cross dress.
1472
02:02:43,520 --> 02:02:46,959
- To put beneath her.
- He lives off prescribing morphine.
1473
02:02:47,800 --> 02:02:50,599
"If they catch me, I'll poison myself."
1474
02:02:50,720 --> 02:02:52,679
That's what he says.
1475
02:02:55,520 --> 02:02:57,639
Her pulse is weak.
Hello!
1476
02:03:07,400 --> 02:03:10,159
How did you get into this hellhole?
1477
02:03:15,000 --> 02:03:17,119
Why do you call it a hellhole?
1478
02:03:17,680 --> 02:03:21,439
The women here
are just as we want them, right?
1479
02:03:23,240 --> 02:03:27,999
They should cry when we send them away,
but be glad when we call them.
1480
02:03:28,560 --> 02:03:33,439
We want love as a commodity, but we also
want the commodity to be in love with us.
1481
02:03:34,120 --> 02:03:38,359
We have every right, no obligations.
They have no rights, every obligation.
1482
02:03:38,640 --> 02:03:40,759
That's a man's paradise.
1483
02:03:40,880 --> 02:03:44,119
If they can't keep us,
they don't want to love us.
1484
02:03:44,600 --> 02:03:47,919
But if we want to buy them,
we must pay dearly.
1485
02:03:49,440 --> 02:03:50,959
They're right.
1486
02:04:06,720 --> 02:04:08,239
No!
1487
02:04:12,400 --> 02:04:14,079
I want a man.
1488
02:04:18,240 --> 02:04:20,079
I want a man!
1489
02:04:21,720 --> 02:04:24,199
Get lost, you randy goat.
1490
02:04:29,000 --> 02:04:30,759
I'll get my coat.
1491
02:04:36,880 --> 02:04:40,439
- Your cigarettes.
- My cigarettes... My cigarettes!
1492
02:04:44,880 --> 02:04:47,439
Long live the small difference!
1493
02:04:57,840 --> 02:04:59,519
That will help.
1494
02:05:22,600 --> 02:05:24,119
Stephan!
1495
02:05:26,560 --> 02:05:28,039
It's me.
1496
02:05:30,640 --> 02:05:32,399
I have the letter.
1497
02:05:32,840 --> 02:05:34,599
From the university.
1498
02:06:18,400 --> 02:06:21,919
Cornelia sat there
as if she'd been waiting years.
1499
02:06:25,560 --> 02:06:27,679
BERLIN, SUNDAY, 16 AUGUST 1931
1500
02:06:27,800 --> 02:06:30,319
SALES SLUMP KILLING INDUSTRY
1501
02:06:30,800 --> 02:06:33,839
The pianolas in Spalteholz
kept on playing.
1502
02:06:33,960 --> 02:06:38,399
The room was full.
The temperature was almost 30°C.
1503
02:06:40,280 --> 02:06:43,599
The barometer forecast
changeable conditions.
1504
02:07:00,720 --> 02:07:02,559
I didn't think you'd come.
1505
02:07:05,520 --> 02:07:07,199
Listen, you losers!
1506
02:07:26,120 --> 02:07:28,639
It wasn't right of me to leave.
1507
02:07:32,080 --> 02:07:34,239
Why won't you look at me?
1508
02:07:42,800 --> 02:07:44,959
Why won't you look at me?
1509
02:07:56,840 --> 02:07:58,999
What will become of me?
1510
02:07:59,360 --> 02:08:03,159
- What will become of me?
- An unhappy woman who is doing well.
1511
02:08:05,560 --> 02:08:08,279
Isn't that why you came to Berlin?
1512
02:08:08,960 --> 02:08:12,359
You get nothing for nothing.
It's a trade-off.
1513
02:08:13,160 --> 02:08:16,039
To get something you have to give.
1514
02:08:25,200 --> 02:08:28,239
You met a powerful man. He funds you.
1515
02:08:28,360 --> 02:08:31,279
He's giving you a chance.
You'll be a success.
1516
02:08:31,400 --> 02:08:34,039
He'll get a return on his investment.
1517
02:08:34,160 --> 02:08:38,679
And for the men he pays to spy on you.
There's one outside now.
1518
02:08:38,800 --> 02:08:41,599
This time in a chauffeur's hat.
1519
02:08:43,080 --> 02:08:45,559
But you'll earn money yourself.
1520
02:08:46,520 --> 02:08:48,599
One day you'll tell him,
1521
02:08:49,080 --> 02:08:51,319
"Farewell, we're even."
1522
02:08:51,440 --> 02:08:53,159
And you'll leave.
1523
02:09:12,880 --> 02:09:14,839
Continue, Mr. Fabian.
1524
02:09:15,360 --> 02:09:18,519
What'll happen
when you no longer need Makart?
1525
02:09:20,480 --> 02:09:22,359
You'll keep working.
1526
02:09:23,280 --> 02:09:26,279
Success may increase,
ambition will grow.
1527
02:09:26,400 --> 02:09:28,759
The risk of crashing rises.
1528
02:09:30,520 --> 02:09:34,479
You can always find a man
who'll block a woman's path.
1529
02:09:35,280 --> 02:09:38,879
One she'll have to tangle with
in order to get past him.
1530
02:09:39,000 --> 02:09:40,919
You'll get used to it.
1531
02:09:41,280 --> 02:09:44,199
The precedent has already been set.
1532
02:09:47,320 --> 02:09:51,479
I thought we were a gang.
I thought we had no scruples.
1533
02:09:52,080 --> 02:09:54,119
Two don't make a gang.
1534
02:09:54,680 --> 02:09:57,319
We'd also have to discuss the past.
1535
02:09:57,440 --> 02:10:02,479
You didn't consult me when you left,
but got my consent to clear your conscience.
1536
02:10:02,600 --> 02:10:06,439
You fancied me a scoundrel,
your pimp while you go to a rich man.
1537
02:10:06,560 --> 02:10:10,799
You wanted me to accept a lover
who earns money in richer men's beds.
1538
02:10:11,960 --> 02:10:15,959
And if you're right,
then, yes, I'm a scoundrel.
1539
02:10:19,080 --> 02:10:21,239
But if I'm not a scoundrel,
1540
02:10:22,960 --> 02:10:24,799
then it was wrong.
1541
02:10:28,080 --> 02:10:29,599
Yes.
1542
02:10:31,760 --> 02:10:33,359
It was all wrong.
1543
02:10:49,640 --> 02:10:52,559
He followed her, unhappy with himself.
1544
02:10:52,680 --> 02:10:57,239
He had hurt her because he had
a right to do so, but was that a reason?
1545
02:10:58,160 --> 02:11:02,239
If you were to ask if you should
come back, I'd say yes.
1546
02:11:02,520 --> 02:11:04,719
Because I only have 16 marks.
1547
02:11:07,320 --> 02:11:09,079
Drive with me.
1548
02:11:10,800 --> 02:11:13,039
Driving is nice.
1549
02:11:16,400 --> 02:11:18,879
The last two days were horrible.
1550
02:11:19,000 --> 02:11:21,919
So was the day before,
after the audition.
1551
02:11:24,800 --> 02:11:26,599
Music, please.
1552
02:11:28,840 --> 02:11:31,119
I'm sorry for hurting you.
1553
02:11:31,240 --> 02:11:34,719
- You have an appointment, Miss Battenberg.
- Just drive.
1554
02:11:35,000 --> 02:11:37,279
- This gentleman is coming?
- Yes.
1555
02:11:38,440 --> 02:11:42,319
You no longer want to see me.
So what was it good for?
1556
02:11:42,440 --> 02:11:45,599
It's good for you.
I've understood.
1557
02:11:45,920 --> 02:11:48,399
The recipe you chose for life is,
1558
02:11:48,520 --> 02:11:52,319
"Chop off your own head,
but be sure it wasn't for nothing."
1559
02:11:55,320 --> 02:11:56,959
It's fine. It's...
1560
02:11:57,080 --> 02:11:58,839
Everything's been said.
1561
02:11:59,600 --> 02:12:01,599
- Did you get the role?
- Mm-hm.
1562
02:12:04,680 --> 02:12:08,559
I'm to play the wife of a man
who keeps wanting me to change.
1563
02:12:10,040 --> 02:12:11,719
He's a sick person.
1564
02:12:12,200 --> 02:12:15,239
He makes me play
an inexperienced girl
1565
02:12:15,360 --> 02:12:17,919
and then a sophisticated woman.
1566
02:12:18,040 --> 02:12:21,359
Sometimes a vulgar female,
then a creature of luxury.
1567
02:12:23,280 --> 02:12:24,999
Psychological film.
1568
02:12:25,920 --> 02:12:29,439
I have to go with that.
It's the only thing that's new.
1569
02:12:29,560 --> 02:12:31,199
It's daring.
1570
02:12:31,920 --> 02:12:35,159
It protects us
from Jewish decorative arts.
1571
02:12:37,080 --> 02:12:42,199
But it turns out my character is
completely different from how I thought.
1572
02:12:42,320 --> 02:12:44,079
I keep changing,
1573
02:12:44,800 --> 02:12:49,279
and that makes me what I've always been,
cruel and domineering.
1574
02:12:49,560 --> 02:12:51,079
Help me!
1575
02:12:51,200 --> 02:12:53,919
Help me. Be my angel of inspiration!
1576
02:12:54,600 --> 02:12:56,159
Makart's idea?
1577
02:12:56,440 --> 02:12:57,959
Yes.
1578
02:12:58,240 --> 02:13:00,719
Cornelia, that man is dangerous.
1579
02:13:01,960 --> 02:13:06,559
He'll have you act out the transformation
and hope you become that way.
1580
02:13:06,680 --> 02:13:08,479
That wouldn't be tragic.
1581
02:13:09,840 --> 02:13:11,639
Such men want to be used.
1582
02:13:11,920 --> 02:13:14,919
- Submit!
- The role will be a lesson for my life.
1583
02:13:15,200 --> 02:13:17,519
You should serve nothing
1584
02:13:17,640 --> 02:13:20,639
but your own subconscious genius.
1585
02:13:20,760 --> 02:13:24,199
She lowered her voice.
"The chauffeur's listening!"
1586
02:13:24,480 --> 02:13:27,039
What's up? Can you read lips?
1587
02:13:27,560 --> 02:13:29,039
Stop staring!
1588
02:13:29,160 --> 02:13:31,799
Look ahead, prison guard.
1589
02:13:32,080 --> 02:13:33,639
I want out.
1590
02:13:38,320 --> 02:13:40,239
I'll come to you tonight.
1591
02:13:40,520 --> 02:13:44,039
Maybe you have a use for me.
I have work, you don't.
1592
02:13:44,480 --> 02:13:49,039
I love you more and more, you love me
less and less. We complete one another.
1593
02:14:03,920 --> 02:14:05,879
Wait! Stop!
1594
02:14:15,000 --> 02:14:18,119
I went to your office
to bring you chocolate.
1595
02:14:18,240 --> 02:14:20,679
I forgot that they fired you.
1596
02:14:43,600 --> 02:14:44,879
Operator.
1597
02:14:45,000 --> 02:14:48,839
Hello, please put me through
to Grunewald 12-0-47, Labude.
1598
02:14:48,960 --> 02:14:50,679
Hold the line.
1599
02:14:52,080 --> 02:14:55,119
AGAINST
PAPEN, HITLER, THÄLMANN
1600
02:14:55,400 --> 02:14:56,439
SOCIAL DEMOCRATS
1601
02:14:56,720 --> 02:14:58,159
No answer.
1602
02:14:58,440 --> 02:15:00,559
No, someone always picks up.
1603
02:15:00,680 --> 02:15:03,639
- They have staff.
- Sorry, no one's home.
1604
02:15:03,760 --> 02:15:06,599
Try again.
I know someone will pick up.
1605
02:15:07,400 --> 02:15:11,839
- I talked to him yesterday. Try again.
- I can't do anything.
1606
02:15:11,960 --> 02:15:14,599
I know that it isn't your fault.
1607
02:15:14,720 --> 02:15:17,399
Then watch your mouth, young man!
1608
02:15:17,520 --> 02:15:21,319
What do you want from me?
What shall I do? Apologize?
1609
02:15:21,440 --> 02:15:24,639
I should apologize?
Fine, I apologize. Sorry.
1610
02:15:48,920 --> 02:15:50,639
- Good evening.
- Sorry.
1611
02:15:51,360 --> 02:15:53,479
- Fabian, your neighbour.
- How do you do.
1612
02:16:02,160 --> 02:16:04,519
Thirsty, he had carried a cup.
1613
02:16:04,800 --> 02:16:07,519
He no longer wanted to,
as it was empty.
1614
02:16:07,640 --> 02:16:10,799
Then Fate relented
and filled his cup.
1615
02:16:11,160 --> 02:16:14,439
He finally bent over to drink from it.
1616
02:16:14,560 --> 02:16:18,439
"No," Fate said.
"No, you didn't want to hold it."
1617
02:16:18,560 --> 02:16:20,639
The cup was dashed
from his hands
1618
02:16:20,920 --> 02:16:24,479
and the water ran over them
and down into the earth.
1619
02:16:26,360 --> 02:16:28,159
He was free again.
1620
02:16:29,080 --> 02:16:30,599
Hooray!
1621
02:16:35,280 --> 02:16:38,319
STORM TIDE EXPECTED TONIGHT
ON BALTIC SEA
1622
02:16:48,920 --> 02:16:52,439
Your mother asked me
to keep an eye on you.
1623
02:16:53,760 --> 02:16:56,239
And now the police are here.
1624
02:16:59,760 --> 02:17:01,279
The police?
1625
02:17:01,400 --> 02:17:03,239
Yes, the police.
1626
02:17:04,520 --> 02:17:05,879
Nice flat.
1627
02:17:08,200 --> 02:17:09,239
Yes?
1628
02:17:09,360 --> 02:17:11,639
- Name?
- Jakob Fabian.
1629
02:17:11,760 --> 02:17:13,999
Do you know a Stephan Labude?
1630
02:17:14,120 --> 02:17:15,639
Yes, why?
1631
02:17:25,280 --> 02:17:28,119
- Hello, Jakob Fabian, friend...
- Finally.
1632
02:17:28,280 --> 02:17:32,479
Detective Superintendent Donath.
We can't get on without you.
1633
02:17:33,920 --> 02:17:37,119
- Could you tell me what's going on?
- Come along.
1634
02:17:37,520 --> 02:17:39,399
We'll go upstairs, okay?
1635
02:17:39,520 --> 02:17:43,439
Help out your colleagues.
We need peace in this house.
1636
02:17:45,040 --> 02:17:47,719
- Good morning, ladies.
- I have nice girls.
1637
02:17:48,400 --> 02:17:51,839
- What's happened here?
- They've been here for hours.
1638
02:17:51,960 --> 02:17:53,839
It's a bit calmer now.
1639
02:17:57,720 --> 02:17:59,039
My assistant.
1640
02:18:31,320 --> 02:18:34,199
You oughtn't do such a thing, Stephan.
1641
02:18:34,320 --> 02:18:36,079
You really oughtn't.
1642
02:18:39,360 --> 02:18:41,479
Erm... Do you have a light?
1643
02:18:43,680 --> 02:18:45,199
Thanks.
1644
02:18:45,600 --> 02:18:50,799
Mr. Labude left a note for you.
Please read it and tell us what it says.
1645
02:18:50,920 --> 02:18:54,759
We agree with you
that this is probably a case of suicide.
1646
02:18:54,880 --> 02:18:59,319
The five ladies we've kept here
claim they were in the next room.
1647
02:18:59,440 --> 02:19:02,079
But that doesn't explain everything.
1648
02:19:02,200 --> 02:19:05,519
- You saw the mess in the drawing room?
- Yes.
1649
02:19:08,720 --> 02:19:11,999
- Would you please read the letter?
- What letter?
1650
02:19:12,120 --> 02:19:17,319
The ladies claim the room was disturbed
as a result of a private quarrel.
1651
02:19:17,800 --> 02:19:21,879
We assume
that there was a fight out of jealousy.
1652
02:19:22,000 --> 02:19:27,559
But they called the police immediately,
which indicates they weren't involved.
1653
02:19:27,680 --> 02:19:29,879
And they didn't run off.
1654
02:19:31,600 --> 02:19:33,799
We'll wait in the next room.
1655
02:19:36,400 --> 02:19:38,679
You oughtn't do such a thing.
1656
02:20:37,520 --> 02:20:41,159
- Right, so we can leave now?
- Wait, please stay here.
1657
02:20:41,280 --> 02:20:45,279
- Something to drink!
- Why are you keeping us here?
1658
02:20:45,560 --> 02:20:47,919
Pay me! Pay me!
Or let me go.
1659
02:20:48,200 --> 02:20:50,159
Sit down!
You have to sit down!
1660
02:20:51,640 --> 02:20:53,399
"My dear friend!
1661
02:20:54,120 --> 02:20:58,199
"That one lives is pure chance,
while dying is a certainty.
1662
02:20:58,880 --> 02:21:03,199
"I know that important men were also
bad scholars and unhappy lovers.
1663
02:21:03,600 --> 02:21:06,399
"But everything about my current state
1664
02:21:06,680 --> 02:21:08,559
"is distasteful to me."
1665
02:21:11,000 --> 02:21:13,759
Forgive me for disturbing you again.
1666
02:21:20,640 --> 02:21:22,839
Sit down! Sit down, ladies.
1667
02:21:24,480 --> 02:21:27,839
All right,
then I can send the ladies home.
1668
02:21:31,080 --> 02:21:34,959
It's dealt with.
I don't want to keep you any longer.
1669
02:21:35,640 --> 02:21:37,159
Hold on!
1670
02:21:41,760 --> 02:21:44,479
- They're coming!
- Don't touch me!
1671
02:21:46,760 --> 02:21:49,199
I have a thing for dead people.
1672
02:21:51,440 --> 02:21:53,799
- I'm sorry...
- It's all right.
1673
02:21:54,960 --> 02:21:57,359
- I'm sorry.
- Yes. Two minutes.
1674
02:21:59,200 --> 02:22:02,159
- They should tie his mouth shut.
- I will.
1675
02:22:05,920 --> 02:22:07,679
Yes.
1676
02:22:08,320 --> 02:22:09,799
Grab his head.
1677
02:22:11,880 --> 02:22:13,319
Careful!
1678
02:22:15,880 --> 02:22:19,479
- A dead guy with the toothache.
- Such a pity.
1679
02:22:20,240 --> 02:22:25,199
Wilhelmy sits in my studio and gets
healthier by the day, the wretch.
1680
02:22:25,480 --> 02:22:29,359
- And this splendid man kills himself.
- That's enough.
1681
02:22:29,640 --> 02:22:31,359
- Please go.
- We're going.
1682
02:22:31,640 --> 02:22:33,799
- Don't touch me.
- Please!
1683
02:22:34,080 --> 02:22:36,319
- Go!
- Hey, you can get lost, too.
1684
02:22:36,960 --> 02:22:42,039
- So? Who's riding with whom now?
- Right, ladies, have a nice day.
1685
02:23:08,880 --> 02:23:11,639
"Where I belong, nobody wanted me.
1686
02:23:12,640 --> 02:23:14,439
"I lost my ideals.
1687
02:23:16,240 --> 02:23:21,199
"I lost Leda and my thesis was rejected.
My pride can't bear it, Jakob.
1688
02:23:21,320 --> 02:23:25,159
"It breaks my head's heart
and it breaks my heart's neck.
1689
02:23:25,720 --> 02:23:27,519
"I've become ridiculous.
1690
02:23:27,640 --> 02:23:31,519
"A person who failed
in the subjects of love and work.
1691
02:23:31,640 --> 02:23:33,519
"Let's kill this chap.
1692
02:23:33,640 --> 02:23:36,239
"It's not so sudden.
The wind's shifting."
1693
02:23:38,280 --> 02:23:41,999
- Dear God! How is this possible?
- My condolences.
1694
02:23:42,120 --> 02:23:46,399
- Thank you. Where is he?
- On the first floor, in his room.
1695
02:23:46,960 --> 02:23:51,559
"Although you won't want to read this,
I've thought about it a long time.
1696
02:23:51,680 --> 02:23:53,719
"Keep that to yourself.
1697
02:23:53,840 --> 02:23:57,599
"A father doesn't need to know
the depths of his son's abyss.
1698
02:23:57,840 --> 02:24:01,759
"I should have been a teacher.
Only children are ripe for ideals."
1699
02:24:01,880 --> 02:24:03,999
He knew what he was doing.
1700
02:24:05,240 --> 02:24:08,319
If he thought
it was the right thing to do...
1701
02:24:08,640 --> 02:24:10,679
other people needn't cry.
1702
02:24:12,240 --> 02:24:13,919
You know...
1703
02:24:14,040 --> 02:24:17,519
I'm not one of those fathers
who lives for his son.
1704
02:24:18,320 --> 02:24:21,439
I'm a hedonistic old gentleman who...
1705
02:24:23,120 --> 02:24:26,279
is in love with life
and who is losing that.
1706
02:24:26,960 --> 02:24:29,679
Yet I wasn't prepared for this.
1707
02:24:37,200 --> 02:24:38,839
"Farewell, Jakob.
1708
02:24:39,480 --> 02:24:42,559
"I almost wrote,
'I'll think of you often.' "
1709
02:24:43,160 --> 02:24:46,759
"You're the only person I ever knew
but loved nonetheless.
1710
02:24:46,880 --> 02:24:50,679
"I'd ask you to see to my affairs,
but there are none to see to.
1711
02:24:52,000 --> 02:24:56,439
"My parents should sell my flat in Berlin.
All my books are yours.
1712
02:24:56,560 --> 02:25:01,359
"I just found 2,000 marks in my desk.
Take the money, it isn't much."
1713
02:25:17,040 --> 02:25:19,959
- Up!
- "Farewell. Live a better life than I did.
1714
02:25:20,080 --> 02:25:21,719
"And please write.
1715
02:25:21,840 --> 02:25:25,039
"Write how it was
and how it could have been.
1716
02:25:25,160 --> 02:25:26,839
"Yours, Stephan."
1717
02:25:53,840 --> 02:25:58,399
By the way, I found out
that the woman with plastered nose
1718
02:25:58,520 --> 02:26:00,639
didn't have the surgery.
1719
02:26:00,920 --> 02:26:03,999
She ran off
with the doctor and my money.
1720
02:26:12,440 --> 02:26:15,559
Was his postdoctoral thesis
really that bad?
1721
02:26:15,680 --> 02:26:17,479
No.
1722
02:26:17,600 --> 02:26:19,999
No, the assessment is a joke.
1723
02:26:21,120 --> 02:26:22,839
I read it. It's...
1724
02:26:23,400 --> 02:26:27,439
one of the most original
literary-historical theses I've read.
1725
02:26:28,040 --> 02:26:29,559
About what?
1726
02:26:29,920 --> 02:26:30,959
Lessing.
1727
02:26:31,720 --> 02:26:33,159
He admired him.
1728
02:26:33,280 --> 02:26:36,679
I'm afraid I missed
getting to know my own son.
1729
02:26:41,920 --> 02:26:47,159
He could have talked with the Professor,
and rewritten it. That's no reason!
1730
02:27:05,280 --> 02:27:08,239
- Good morning, Professor.
- Good morning.
1731
02:27:10,920 --> 02:27:12,439
Good morning.
1732
02:27:17,800 --> 02:27:19,439
That can't be.
1733
02:27:20,720 --> 02:27:23,639
The work was first class.
There's been a mistake.
1734
02:27:23,760 --> 02:27:26,399
He shot himself. It's not a mistake.
1735
02:27:28,280 --> 02:27:29,559
Yes.
1736
02:27:29,680 --> 02:27:31,199
That's terrible.
1737
02:27:31,480 --> 02:27:34,279
I know you. I know you were his friend.
1738
02:27:38,280 --> 02:27:40,919
I don't want to be disturbed now.
1739
02:27:47,440 --> 02:27:50,519
But what on earth
made your friend do this?
1740
02:27:50,800 --> 02:27:52,599
- What?
- You can't imagine?
1741
02:27:54,240 --> 02:27:56,679
You rejected his thesis, that's why.
1742
02:27:56,960 --> 02:27:58,479
- Impossible.
- Yes!
1743
02:27:58,760 --> 02:28:01,719
- Take a look at it!
- I rejected it?
1744
02:28:02,720 --> 02:28:04,439
Who said that?
1745
02:28:05,000 --> 02:28:08,559
Who said that?
Who said that I rejected it?
1746
02:28:09,840 --> 02:28:13,639
I sent that thesis to the faculty,
with the remark
1747
02:28:13,760 --> 02:28:17,439
that it was the best
literary-historical work in years.
1748
02:28:17,920 --> 02:28:21,479
I wrote that
no student has ever presented me
1749
02:28:21,760 --> 02:28:25,359
with a paper that was
so substantiated and meaningful.
1750
02:28:25,480 --> 02:28:30,479
I'm publishing it as a special edition
in the institute's series.
1751
02:28:30,760 --> 02:28:34,359
- Who said that I rejected it?
- One moment, please.
1752
02:28:44,880 --> 02:28:46,399
Weckherlin!
1753
02:28:48,880 --> 02:28:50,439
Go and see.
1754
02:28:50,560 --> 02:28:52,079
Here.
1755
02:29:02,040 --> 02:29:04,839
Weckherlin,
the Professor wants you. Now!
1756
02:29:05,120 --> 02:29:07,239
- You're potty.
- Come on!
1757
02:29:07,520 --> 02:29:09,199
What is this?
1758
02:29:10,640 --> 02:29:11,839
All right!
1759
02:29:17,560 --> 02:29:19,599
Take a look, please.
1760
02:29:22,600 --> 02:29:24,119
Move it!
1761
02:29:28,280 --> 02:29:30,919
I must question him in your presence.
1762
02:29:31,440 --> 02:29:35,959
Dr. Weckherlin, did you write a letter
to my friend Stephan Labude
1763
02:29:36,080 --> 02:29:39,199
in the Professor's name,
rejecting his thesis?
1764
02:29:39,320 --> 02:29:42,799
Did you state that
giving it to the faculty would mean
1765
02:29:42,920 --> 02:29:46,519
harassing the professors
with mental diarrhea?
1766
02:29:46,880 --> 02:29:50,159
Did you write that
the Professor wanted
1767
02:29:50,280 --> 02:29:52,919
to spare him the public disgrace?
1768
02:29:53,760 --> 02:29:55,719
Did you?
1769
02:29:58,120 --> 02:29:59,799
Weckherlin?
1770
02:30:00,880 --> 02:30:02,759
It was just a joke.
1771
02:30:06,680 --> 02:30:08,159
You swine!
1772
02:30:08,440 --> 02:30:10,359
You swine! He's dead!
1773
02:30:10,960 --> 02:30:13,759
He's dead! He's dead!
1774
02:30:15,760 --> 02:30:17,239
A bad joke!
1775
02:30:19,880 --> 02:30:23,839
You bastard!
I'll smash you up. I'll get you!
1776
02:30:24,120 --> 02:30:25,639
Stop!
1777
02:30:26,760 --> 02:30:28,439
Get lost, Fabian!
1778
02:30:29,000 --> 02:30:30,599
You drunken loser!
1779
02:30:41,080 --> 02:30:43,679
- I'll beat him to death.
- You won't!
1780
02:30:43,960 --> 02:30:45,879
- Get him out!
- What is it?
1781
02:30:48,600 --> 02:30:50,239
Is he alive?
1782
02:30:50,520 --> 02:30:51,759
Is he?
1783
02:30:51,880 --> 02:30:54,039
- Yes.
- Dismiss him!
1784
02:31:00,720 --> 02:31:02,359
What is it?
1785
02:31:05,480 --> 02:31:06,999
What can I do?
1786
02:31:07,520 --> 02:31:12,359
- Declare Labude a professor posthumously?
- Yes. Yes!
1787
02:31:12,960 --> 02:31:15,719
- Yes!
- The world is going to the dogs.
1788
02:31:16,400 --> 02:31:18,279
Dismiss him, at least!
1789
02:31:18,400 --> 02:31:22,879
I don't have the power to do that.
The council must decide that.
1790
02:31:25,360 --> 02:31:29,319
Why did Labude have to be
so politically outspoken?
1791
02:31:33,040 --> 02:31:37,039
- Are you being threatened?
- We need a new order.
1792
02:31:37,160 --> 02:31:39,559
Things can't go on like this.
1793
02:31:39,680 --> 02:31:42,159
All of this hedonism...
1794
02:31:43,320 --> 02:31:48,039
This eternal post-war chaos
must come to an end.
1795
02:31:50,160 --> 02:31:53,759
Everything is good for something,
even a sacrifice.
1796
02:31:54,360 --> 02:31:56,359
Things have to get better.
1797
02:31:56,640 --> 02:31:58,159
Bravo!
1798
02:32:22,840 --> 02:32:24,719
Eerie invisible scissors
1799
02:32:25,000 --> 02:32:28,559
had cut all bonds
that tied him to this city.
1800
02:32:28,680 --> 02:32:31,159
His job was gone, his friend dead.
1801
02:32:31,440 --> 02:32:35,519
Someone else had Cornelia.
What was he still doing here?
1802
02:32:36,120 --> 02:32:38,159
Hadn't he told Labude,
1803
02:32:38,280 --> 02:32:42,719
"People would still beat each other up
in the paradise you dream of"?
1804
02:32:43,160 --> 02:32:48,319
Were the decent, humane, normal people
he wished for actually desirable?
1805
02:32:50,760 --> 02:32:53,519
What for? Why was his friend dead?
1806
02:32:54,040 --> 02:32:56,039
He had known the reason.
1807
02:32:59,960 --> 02:33:03,399
The wrong people died
and the wrong people lived.
1808
02:33:14,640 --> 02:33:16,399
Is that necessary?
1809
02:33:22,600 --> 02:33:26,839
It's scandalous how we chase each other.
Where are you going?
1810
02:33:27,120 --> 02:33:28,759
I'm going home.
1811
02:33:33,880 --> 02:33:37,119
Very polite.
Won't you ask me where I'm going?
1812
02:33:38,840 --> 02:33:41,799
- Where are you going?
- I'm clearing out.
1813
02:33:42,840 --> 02:33:46,359
One of my boys
blew the whistle on my establishment.
1814
02:33:46,480 --> 02:33:49,959
I heard it from a policeman
whose wages I paid double.
1815
02:33:50,240 --> 02:33:52,239
What kind of establishment?
1816
02:33:52,360 --> 02:33:54,079
My brothel of men.
1817
02:33:54,200 --> 02:33:56,039
Oh, that's right.
1818
02:33:56,160 --> 02:33:59,119
- Will you come to Budapest with me?
- No.
1819
02:33:59,640 --> 02:34:02,119
I have 100,000 marks with me.
1820
02:34:02,720 --> 02:34:04,999
We could go to Prague, then Paris.
1821
02:34:05,120 --> 02:34:06,719
Or London?
1822
02:34:08,000 --> 02:34:09,879
No, I'm going home.
1823
02:34:15,080 --> 02:34:17,159
In the newspaper,
an engineer
1824
02:34:17,440 --> 02:34:20,719
proposed lowering the Mediterranean
200 metres.
1825
02:34:20,840 --> 02:34:24,399
It'd expose large areas of land,
like before the ice age.
1826
02:34:26,360 --> 02:34:29,279
It could be settled, and feed millions.
1827
02:34:29,560 --> 02:34:32,759
Small dams could enable railway service
1828
02:34:32,880 --> 02:34:34,919
from Berlin to Cape Town.
1829
02:34:35,440 --> 02:34:37,439
Well, then...
1830
02:34:37,720 --> 02:34:39,839
let's go drain the Mediterranean.
1831
02:34:42,240 --> 02:34:43,919
I have jewellery.
1832
02:34:44,040 --> 02:34:48,999
Once we're broke, we'll blackmail
the old biddies that frequented my place.
1833
02:34:49,400 --> 02:34:51,919
No, I'm going to see my mother.
1834
02:34:53,160 --> 02:34:57,959
You silly fool! Do I have to kneel down
and profess my love?
1835
02:34:58,240 --> 02:35:00,799
What's wrong with me?
Too enlightened?
1836
02:35:01,080 --> 02:35:03,719
Would you prefer some silly goose?
1837
02:35:04,920 --> 02:35:08,519
I'm sick of grabbing
at the first pair of trousers that pass.
1838
02:35:08,640 --> 02:35:10,239
I like you.
1839
02:35:10,360 --> 02:35:13,959
We keep bumping into each other.
It can't be chance.
1840
02:35:14,840 --> 02:35:16,919
Please come with me.
1841
02:35:17,520 --> 02:35:19,039
No, no, no.
1842
02:35:19,320 --> 02:35:20,999
I'm not coming.
1843
02:35:22,360 --> 02:35:24,639
- Have a good journey.
- Pity.
1844
02:35:25,240 --> 02:35:29,439
A terrible pity. Maybe another time.
Do you need money?
1845
02:35:30,920 --> 02:35:32,999
- Just take it.
- No, thanks.
1846
02:36:24,440 --> 02:36:26,159
- Hello.
- Hello.
1847
02:36:33,800 --> 02:36:35,759
- Goodbye.
- Goodbye.
1848
02:36:36,280 --> 02:36:37,799
Hello.
1849
02:36:48,200 --> 02:36:50,159
Stephan shot himself.
1850
02:36:54,800 --> 02:36:56,439
Oh, my boy!
1851

02:37:46,160 --> 02:37:48,039
What's wrong with him?
1854
02:37:49,440 --> 02:37:52,079
His friend Labude killed himself.
1855
02:37:53,040 --> 02:37:55,399
I didn't know he had a friend.
1856
02:37:55,840 --> 02:37:57,359
He did.
1857
02:37:58,040 --> 02:38:00,999
- You just don't listen.
- He's unemployed.
1858
02:38:01,120 --> 02:38:02,759
I heard that.
1859
02:38:04,600 --> 02:38:06,839
It's nice that he's here.
1860
02:38:08,080 --> 02:38:09,999
The rain snapped them all!
1861
02:38:10,840 --> 02:38:12,999
- Really?
- But it's been a while.
1862
02:38:13,400 --> 02:38:15,599
I'll take these out, okay?
1863
02:38:15,880 --> 02:38:18,199
They'll come back next year.
1864
02:38:18,320 --> 02:38:19,999
They'll come back.
1865
02:38:21,880 --> 02:38:23,959
I'll do that tomorrow.

Yes.
1868
02:38:43,120 --> 02:38:46,119
Do you think
they're ripe enough already?
1869
02:38:46,560 --> 02:38:48,599
They normally keep long.
1870
02:38:49,640 --> 02:38:51,919
- Great!
- Not enough rain.
1871
02:38:52,880 --> 02:38:55,639
- What was that?
- There wasn't enough rain.
1872
02:38:55,760 --> 02:38:57,559
Yes.
1873
02:39:04,120 --> 02:39:06,959
Gerda asked if she could have a few.
1874
02:39:07,080 --> 02:39:08,799
A STAR
1875
02:39:09,080 --> 02:39:10,599
Try one.
1876
02:39:17,600 --> 02:39:20,199
You could write a gardening book.
1877
02:39:23,760 --> 02:39:25,639
- Frida wants some, too.
- Yeah?
1878
02:39:25,760 --> 02:39:27,799
- Yes.
- She can pick them herself.
1879
02:39:29,120 --> 02:39:30,839
Oh, I don't know.
1880
02:39:31,320 --> 02:39:33,279
That won't ever happen.
1881
02:39:39,680 --> 02:39:41,199

Ludwig!

02:39:45,800 --> 02:39:47,999
The coffee is weak, right?
1884
02:39:48,120 --> 02:39:50,359
Shall we buy a different brand?
1885
02:39:51,000 --> 02:39:52,519
Try it.
1886
02:39:55,200 --> 02:39:57,239
I think about her.
1887
02:39:58,480 --> 02:40:00,119
All the time.
1888
02:40:03,560 --> 02:40:06,359
Call her. It won't be that bad.
1889
02:40:07,200 --> 02:40:11,599
We sometimes say things our minds
wanted to keep quiet. Apologize.
1890
02:40:11,880 --> 02:40:14,199
- Why?
- Listen to your mother.
1891
02:40:15,680 --> 02:40:17,839
She's right most of the time.
1892
02:40:21,280 --> 02:40:24,479
Hello, Mrs. Hohlfeld. It's Jakob Fabian.
1893
02:40:24,920 --> 02:40:27,199
In Dresden. Yes, I'm fine.
1894
02:40:27,320 --> 02:40:29,119
Are you fine as well?
1895
02:40:29,400 --> 02:40:32,239
- Yes, nice.
- I certainly won't do that!
1896
02:40:32,520 --> 02:40:35,519
- It's not the first time.
- Tell me...
1897
02:40:35,640 --> 02:40:37,839
Miss Battenberg... Cornelia.
1898
02:40:37,960 --> 02:40:40,319
Has she been by yours lately?
1899
02:40:40,440 --> 02:40:41,919
Yes?
1900
02:40:42,040 --> 02:40:45,719
Did she leave a number
that she can be reached at?
1901
02:40:46,400 --> 02:40:49,359
- Always the same story.
- Yes? That's so nice.
1902
02:40:49,480 --> 02:40:51,279
Thank you. Yes.
1903
02:40:51,400 --> 02:40:52,919
Where?
1904
02:40:53,320 --> 02:40:55,359
Yes, I... I'm looking.
1905
02:40:58,800 --> 02:41:00,679
Ah, now I know.
1906
02:41:02,120 --> 02:41:03,919
Just a second!
1907
02:41:06,720 --> 02:41:09,639
- Hello? Yes.
- That's not possible!
1908
02:41:10,480 --> 02:41:13,479
- I know...
- Right. Yes, now.
1909
02:41:13,760 --> 02:41:17,039
- Now I know!
- Come on, be quiet. Please.
1910
02:41:18,040 --> 02:41:19,639
Yes. Erm...
1911
02:41:19,760 --> 02:41:21,519
Now I can...
1912
02:41:23,800 --> 02:41:24,999
Now.
1913
02:41:25,120 --> 02:41:28,399
Three, three, two, oh, nine.
1914
02:41:30,120 --> 02:41:31,639
Oh, yes.
1915
02:41:32,360 --> 02:41:34,119
Yes, I'll wait.
1916
02:41:39,240 --> 02:41:41,119
All right. Dresden.
1917
02:41:41,240 --> 02:41:43,599
50-23-5.
1918
02:41:44,080 --> 02:41:46,479
Yes, it's urgent. Please tell her.
1919
02:41:46,600 --> 02:41:49,759
A happy occurrence in the family.
Happy occurrence.
1920
02:41:49,880 --> 02:41:51,399
All right.
1921
02:41:57,880 --> 02:42:01,759
Who's speaking? The gate.
No, she's filming now.
1922
02:42:01,880 --> 02:42:04,679
A relative? You write down the number.
1923
02:42:04,960 --> 02:42:07,159
- ...Studio 3!
- Coming!
1924
02:42:43,280 --> 02:42:46,479
Son, if you want to smoke,
please go outside,
1925
02:42:46,760 --> 02:42:50,519
or the smell will be
in the curtains all day tomorrow.
1926
02:43:16,640 --> 02:43:18,639
- Have a nice evening!
- You too.
1927
02:43:18,920 --> 02:43:20,879
TELEPHONE NUMBER.
CALL
1928
02:43:31,680 --> 02:43:33,639
Don't pick up!
1929
02:43:33,920 --> 02:43:35,919
Don't pick up, please!
1930
02:43:36,200 --> 02:43:38,279
- Don't pick up!
- The Fabians.
1931
02:43:38,560 --> 02:43:41,119
Dresden Löbaustrasse 13.
1932
02:43:41,400 --> 02:43:43,399
Hello? Hello?
1933
02:43:44,960 --> 02:43:46,919
- No one.
- Why did you pick up?
1934
02:43:47,520 --> 02:43:52,359
While I'm here, no one in this house
picks up the phone but me!
1935
02:43:52,480 --> 02:43:54,519
Hey! Are you off your chump?
1936
02:43:54,960 --> 02:43:57,079
- Don't yell at your mother.
- Yes.
1937
02:43:57,200 --> 02:44:02,599
Please! This is my private area now.
Let me handle the telephone. Please!
1938
02:44:03,520 --> 02:44:05,639
I can get unpleasant too.
1939
02:44:33,040 --> 02:44:34,559
Hello?
1940
02:44:36,400 --> 02:44:38,199
How is Dresden?
1941
02:44:39,320 --> 02:44:41,399
Different from Berlin.
1942
02:44:43,840 --> 02:44:46,159
I read you started filming.
1943
02:44:46,760 --> 02:44:48,039
Yes.
1944
02:44:48,160 --> 02:44:49,719
Congratulations.
1945
02:44:51,920 --> 02:44:54,839
Everyone praises me,
but it doesn't help.
1946
02:44:55,120 --> 02:44:56,879
Why not?
1947
02:44:57,280 --> 02:44:59,199
What do you mean?
1948
02:44:59,800 --> 02:45:05,039
Today was my fifth day of shooting.
There's a huge fuss all around me.
1949
02:45:05,720 --> 02:45:07,799
I am happy here, really.
1950
02:45:07,920 --> 02:45:10,399
I constantly try new things.
1951
02:45:12,440 --> 02:45:13,679
But?
1952
02:45:13,960 --> 02:45:15,479
Yeah...
1953
02:45:17,320 --> 02:45:20,159
If you were here,
you'd really see things.
1954
02:45:20,840 --> 02:45:22,639
You'd see what I do.
1955
02:45:22,920 --> 02:45:24,679
What I hide.
1956
02:45:25,840 --> 02:45:28,639
I thought about
how you might see me,
1957
02:45:29,480 --> 02:45:31,239
in the cinema.
1958
02:45:33,080 --> 02:45:35,159
But I can't see you.
1959
02:45:35,560 --> 02:45:37,319
It's cruel, really.
1960
02:45:42,360 --> 02:45:44,919
You once asked me
where I was born.
1961
02:45:46,360 --> 02:45:48,119
I'm from Wedding.
1962
02:45:48,920 --> 02:45:52,239
I was born in Berlin,
like thousands of others.
1963
02:45:52,360 --> 02:45:56,359
I've never been anywhere else,
not Paris or London.
1964
02:45:56,480 --> 02:45:58,639
I'm average in every way.
1965
02:46:00,440 --> 02:46:02,799
I thought I needed a secret.
1966
02:46:05,560 --> 02:46:09,159
Maybe it'd be a second start
if we met again.
1967
02:46:10,680 --> 02:46:13,919
I could come to the city
for a day or two.
1968
02:46:14,640 --> 02:46:16,759
For a visit, so to speak.
1969
02:46:18,120 --> 02:46:20,839
We'd get to know each other again.
1970
02:46:22,480 --> 02:46:25,879
You can show me your Berlin,
if it still exists.
1971
02:46:26,000 --> 02:46:28,119
Would you have the time?
1972
02:46:32,400 --> 02:46:33,439
Yes.
1973
02:46:34,480 --> 02:46:38,359
I'll flee from the other man.
Tell me when and where.
1974
02:46:39,520 --> 02:46:43,679
I'll make a break for it.
Then they'll all look for me.
1975
02:46:47,880 --> 02:46:49,959
I'll go to Spalteholz.
1976
02:46:50,640 --> 02:46:52,919
I'll wait for you. Think about you.
1977
02:46:53,200 --> 02:46:56,639
It doesn't matter if you don't come.
I'll go every day.
1978
02:46:56,760 --> 02:47:01,399
All right. I'll come one day.
One day in Spalteholz.
1979
02:47:06,600 --> 02:47:07,639
Yes.
1980
02:47:23,080 --> 02:47:26,199
Not the gray pants with the green shirt.
1981
02:47:26,320 --> 02:47:28,119
Just look at you!
1982
02:47:29,680 --> 02:47:33,439
Here, take these.
I couldn't get rid of the stain.
1983
02:47:34,560 --> 02:47:38,799
Your roast.
The gravy is always so greasy.
1984
02:47:40,760 --> 02:47:42,279
My roast?
1985
02:47:49,880 --> 02:47:52,519
Where's the boy? Isn't he joining us?
1986
02:47:52,640 --> 02:47:55,679
He wanted to go out.
I packed him something.
1987
02:47:55,800 --> 02:47:59,799
- But it isn't where I left it.
- So that means he's gone?
1988
02:48:11,280 --> 02:48:13,159
He'll come back.
1989
02:48:14,120 --> 02:48:17,839
- He wanted to return to his bird.
- Don't call her that!
1990
02:48:17,960 --> 02:48:21,679
He didn't want to discuss it either,
not even with you.
1991
02:48:24,120 --> 02:48:26,399
He could have said goodbye.
1992
02:48:27,200 --> 02:48:29,679
He just didn't want to today.
1993
02:48:31,320 --> 02:48:34,119
Away, then, to the bosom of nature,
1994
02:48:34,240 --> 02:48:37,279
taking a small detour to the station.
1995
02:48:38,240 --> 02:48:42,439
Despite it all,
life was a most interesting occupation.
1996
02:49:07,960 --> 02:49:09,559
Go for it!
1997
02:49:11,600 --> 02:49:13,479
Go for it! Come on!
1998
02:49:14,480 --> 02:49:16,799
- Do it! Come on!
- Just jump!
1999
02:49:16,920 --> 02:49:18,639
We're getting cold!
2000
02:49:19,080 --> 02:49:21,439
I jumped from there yesterday.
2001
02:49:21,720 --> 02:49:24,079
It's deep enough. Go for it!
2002
02:49:25,600 --> 02:49:29,839
Suddenly Fabian saw a boy
on the parapet of the bridge.
2003
02:49:30,120 --> 02:49:32,879
A dare? A suicide attempt?
2004
02:49:33,160 --> 02:49:35,359
Hey, get away from there!
2005
02:49:37,080 --> 02:49:39,159
Hey, what are you doing?
2006
02:49:39,720 --> 02:49:42,439
Hey! Get down! Are you mad?
2007
02:49:58,440 --> 02:50:02,399
He saw the boy's head and hands
hit the water and vanish.
2008
02:50:03,640 --> 02:50:06,919
He took off his coat
and jumped in the river.
2009
02:50:26,680 --> 02:50:29,239
- Is he coming back up?
- Labude!
2010
02:50:30,120 --> 02:50:33,199
The pull of the current surprised him.
2011
02:50:33,320 --> 02:50:35,119
He drifted off.
2012
02:50:36,520 --> 02:50:39,519
"Oops!" he thought, before he sank.
2013
02:50:51,320 --> 02:50:53,399
- Help!
- Help!
2014
02:51:13,880 --> 02:51:16,999
What is that? No one can dance to that.
2015
02:51:19,520 --> 02:51:21,959
Horst, play something nice!
2016
02:51:22,080 --> 02:51:24,679
- Fabian drowned.
- He couldn't swim.
2017
02:51:24,800 --> 02:51:27,199
- What's up?
- A fish drowned.
2018
02:51:27,320 --> 02:51:28,839
What's up?
2019
02:52:44,080 --> 02:52:46,559
FROM LAWYER TO FILM STAR
2020
02:52:48,200 --> 02:52:50,519
LEARN TO SWIM!
2021
02:53:10,720 --> 02:53:13,079
May I get you something else?
2022
02:53:13,200 --> 02:53:15,359
Not necessary. Thanks.
2023
02:53:16,640 --> 02:53:20,519
- But I'll come every day at three.
- Well, that's nice.
2024
02:53:24,360 --> 02:53:28,199
Dr. Goebbels called for a campaign
against Jews on Kurfürstendamm.
2025
02:53:28,600 --> 02:53:31,239
We experienced that
this Saturday evening.
2026
02:53:31,360 --> 02:53:36,079
At 7:30 p.m., SA members
flocked to the Memorial Church.
2027
02:53:36,200 --> 02:53:40,999
At about 9:30,
over 1,000 National Socialists had gathered.
2028
02:53:41,120 --> 02:53:43,359
It was a planned initiative...
2029
02:53:44,480 --> 02:53:46,999
to disrupt the Jewish New Year.
2030
02:53:47,120 --> 02:53:48,959
...the right-wing mobs...
2031
02:53:50,080 --> 02:53:53,039
then marched
along the Kurfürstendamm,
2032
02:53:53,680 --> 02:53:56,399
calling "Germany, awaken!"
and "Die, Jews!"
2033
02:53:56,520 --> 02:53:58,679
Passers-by who looked Jewish
2034
02:53:59,280 --> 02:54:01,999
were molested and beaten.
2035
02:54:03,440 --> 02:54:07,719
When the synagogue in Fasenstrasse
closed shortly before ten
2036
02:54:07,840 --> 02:54:10,999
troops bearing Swastikas had convened.
2037
02:54:13,040 --> 02:54:17,839
...were met with insults
and physically attacked.
2038
02:54:17,960 --> 02:54:20,959
The horrible scenes
continued on Kurfürstendamm
2039
02:54:21,080 --> 02:54:24,279
and passers-by
had to flee to side streets.
