BELGRADE YUGOSLAVIA
Hello!
I'm Kleo Straub. I'd like to talk to Rade.
He was a friend of my grandpa.
Come in.
Thanks.
Rade.
Kleo! How long has it been?
A very long time, Rade. How are you?
How is Otto?
Otto died. In May.
The collapse of the GDR was too much for him.
Yes.
Oh, Kleo.
You have to be strong in these times. And this is just the start.
Vesna, bring us a bottle of Slivovitz and two glasses.
You must be hungry.
-Those were wonderful holidays back then. -I hardly remember them now.
You were just a little girl. But you always kept us on our toes.
If we took our eyes off you, you'd be gone.
Exploring.
I'd always sing to you in the evening.
Sleep now, my beautiful child
Beddy-bye, beddy-bye
As the moon peeks silently
Into your cradle…
Those were lovely times.
Tell me about my father.
Your father?
There's nothing to say. He was a traitor.
As simple as that. But never mind that.
Why a traitor?
He let himself be seduced by the West.
And tried to get away. He knew there was a shoot-to-kill order.
He abandoned you and deserves no pity.
Mum told me he was in a car crash.
Maybe she wanted to spare you the truth.
No. Something's not right.
The cevapcici are ready.
Thank you, Vesna.
-Rade, I need your help. -I can't tell you more about your dad.
I have to find one of our men.
He was working for us at the American consulate in West Berlin.
There was an incident, and he fled here.
The comrade operates under the code name "The Bear".
If this Bear was here, it wouldn't be official.
I need the address of Object Moni.
Your ministry has been disbanded.
I have to find him, Rade. Can't you help me somehow?
I can give you the address of the former safe house.
Kleo, I don't know what you have planned
or why you're here.
But consider carefully whether it's all worth it.
Thanks, Rade.
You have any American ones?
Ray-Ban or something?
Like Tom Cruise wears.
In Top Gun.
American?
Sure.
So the enemy trusts you.
Yes.
It's me. Rade.
Kleo just turned up at my place.
Nikolai.
Fine.
If that's how she wants it…
Listen.
You'll do exactly as I tell you.
Understand?
Thank you.
HOTEL
RECEPTION
-Hello. -Welcome.
I need a room for at least two nights.
-"Kleo Jennifer Straub"? -Yes.
Your room is already booked.
Hello.
Was that a great entrance or what?
Where were you? You sure took your time.
I asked my favourite comrade, Reisser, and he told me this is the hotel
where the Firm's people stay, and since you weren't here yet,
I just booked us two adjoining rooms.
If we have info to share, we can just pop over,
and if not, we can just close the door again.
You want to start off by telling me where Object Moni is?
Right, okay.
Here's the situation.
Either you find out and then I figure it out,
or I find out and then you figure it out.
So why not save ourselves all this fucking effort
and just work together again?
Okay.
I know you're annoyed with me
because I was much smarter than you thought.
And your behaviour is a bit childish, if you ask me.
It's nine o'clock. Are you really going to bed?
I thought we could go down to the bar, but I…
All right, we won't go to the bar.
But I'll see you tomorrow for breakfast at eight o'clock.
"Yes, okay, Sven. Eight sounds great." Good night, Kleo.
"Good night, Sven!" Always nice talking to you.
"You're looking really good."
DISCO DISKOVIĆ
Ho Chi Minh in German! Yay!
Then we can speak German.
Shall I order us both a schnapps first to break the ice?
I don't drink schnapps.
-But thanks. -Okay.
I blew it.
Come on, wake up!
-So what are we doing here? -Come on, Brigitte. Wake up.
You're letting the capitalists deceive you.
This is our life here? In these two rooms?
Without any prospect of building something
because we're seen as anti-socialist elements?
We will build something.
I promise you. But we'll do it here and not in the West.
Daddy.
Daddy, why did you run away?
Kleo, darling.
What are you talking about?
I would never abandon you.
Never.
What you told me about my father isn't true, Rade.
He never would've abandoned us.
Why would you tell me that?
What happened to him?
-Come and see me this afternoon. -Tell me now!
Kleo, please. Not over the phone.
Seriously!
Is this seat taken?
Why are you eating Toast Hawaii for breakfast?
-Why Toast Hawaii? -That's what I'm wondering.
It's a Karlsbader Schnitte.
Right. I forgot that you have your own funny names for everything.
Are you here to discuss breakfast habits?
Nope, I just want to eat in peace, this…
"Stalin sandwich".
Okay.
Have you thought any more about what we talked about yesterday?
We didn't talk.
You talked.
You gave Honecker the suitcase without discussing it with me.
I cooperated with the BND without discussing it with you.
We were both selfish.
We both messed up because we didn't act like partners.
Let's now find our way out of this shit together as partners.
Please.
I won't stop you from following me. Do what you want.
But if you think I'm going to save your arse,
you can forget it.
Well, that's a start.
-Who was that? -No idea. I met her at the bar.
Oh my God, what is it? I was alone at a bar.
I was bored. I chatted a woman up.
What's the problem?
Okay.
What's going on with you and Holger?
-Holger? -Yeah.
Holger. What's the deal with Holger?
I'm going to get some French toast.
Damn it!
Hey!
Man!
Sorry, sir.
I need a taxi, please.
Titolino.
Shit. Don't shoot!
Sven! Why are you here?
You said you wouldn't stop me from following you, so I thought I would.
-What's this? -It was Object Moni.
-Why "was"? -Because the Firm stopped paying.
Hey.
Are you by yourself?
Is your dad home?
Now!
Sven, get down!
-Show me. -Is it a graze?
Go! Get out!
The stairs. Go!
Fuck!
There! Take cover!
Get down!
Wait here.
You lied to me.
First, you lie about my father, then you try to have me killed. Why?
Rade?
-Bye. Buy yourselves something to eat. -Thanks.
Thilo, this is so unbelievably awesome.
We're gonna be rich.
Right?
I'm thinking about our karma.
Oh, yeah.
Money is bad for your karma.
True.
Hey!
Wow.
You're so beautiful!
Heavenly.
-Really. -You guys are so sweet.
It's so beautiful outside. Sunshine is like light for the soul.
Are you coming outside?
Can you say that again?
What?
Well, what you just said,
but straight into my heart.
Light for the soul.
That's it!
That's the mission, huh?
Yeah. Exactly.
This is getting a bit too weird for me. I mean, for my thought process.
What is your mission exactly?
Techno.
It has to get out into the sunlight.
For people's souls.
Out of the darkness and into the sunshine.
Thilo, what a brilliant idea!
And that can help us with our karma problem too.
Didn't you say you weren't saving my arse any more?
How come you're not too bad at this?
-Not too bad? -Yeah.
I passed the special task force paramedics course with flying colours.
-Thanks. -Better not shower for a couple of days.
-If you don't mind me stinking. -If the lady from the bar doesn't mind.
-Are you jealous? -No.
Why should I be jealous of a traitor?
Can we stop this traitor crap, please? It's getting annoying.
Shall we talk now?
Okay. The CIA came to see me again.
They wanted me to shadow you again and offered me a lot of money.
Money I desperately need and a job that I'd normally jump at.
And I said no again, for you.
I'm not a traitor, okay?
The CIA came to see you again, and you didn't tell me?
Well, I did. I just told you.
-You didn't want to talk to me! -Yeah. I should've kept it that way.
Kleo. I haven't done anything. Kleo!
Hey, just imagine.
A truck with speakers on it and DJs.
And they'll bring techno to the city.
To every street.
Everyone will dance and love each other.
This is my purpose, Ciana, right?
Yeah, absolutely.
I'm just thinking. You probably need a permit for that, right?
-If we don't, we'll do it anyway. -For sure.
We have to do it anyway. That's our mission.
Yeah! And if we don't get a permit, then maybe Kleo can help.
She must know people in the government and stuff.
When will she be back?
No idea.
-Didn't she say anything? -Nope.
She comes when she comes.
-What's she actually doing there? -No idea.
Something to do with her mission.
We both have our missions, you know?
That's why we trust each other.
Three people with a mission under one roof.
You, me, and Kleo.
What a coincidence.
Hello, Thilo speaking.
Thilo? It's Kleo.
Kleo. You know what Dopi, Ciana, and I want to do?
Thilo, listen, I don't have much time. We need to be careful.
-Why? -The CIA is after me.
They may try to get my friends to tell them things about me.
You understand?
Yeah.
Ciana, for example.
Why did she suddenly turn up here?
-Well, because I brought her here. -But is it a coincidence?
Do coincidences exist, Thilo?
Just be careful, okay?
I'll call you back. Bye.
Bye.
Well?
What did she say?
She just wanted to say hi.
Campari Orange.
Thank you.
Did you know that before he became a revolutionary,
Ho Chi Minh worked as a kitchen assistant in a grand hotel in London?
-You know your stuff. -Yeah.
I've always been interested in Southeast Asian history.
Why?
I find the people very attractive, the food, everything.
If you're ever in West Berlin, I know where to get the best pho bo in the city.
It's "pho bo".
"Pho bo"? You learn something new every day, wow!
-I'm Sven. -You already told me.
Kimberly.
Hey, Kimberly.
-Excuse me. -What happened to your arm?
That? Oh, it's nothing.
Okay, it was a dog.
Yeah, a stray.
Attacked a woman and child. I stepped in and killed it.
-A real hero. -Yeah.
Finally someone recognises me for what I am.
-What are you doing in Belgrade, Sven? -Business trip.
With my colleague who you saw at breakfast.
We're exploring new markets in the East.
What about you, Kimberly?
-Feel like dancing, Sven? -Come again?
I want to dance.
Okay.
DEAREST KLEO, THESE ARE OUR SONGS
Hello, Holger.
Kleo? Thank God! Is everything okay?
I have a question, and I need a clear "yes" or "no".
Did the CIA get you to shadow me?
What?
Yes or no?
No. Why would I work for the CIA?
Maybe ask the guy who threatened me at my home with a gun yesterday.
What guy?
Some moron with bad teeth and an old Lada.
He wanted to know where you were. Can you tell me what's going on?
Can I trust you?
Kleo, all these years, do you think I'd…
Of course, you can.
And I'd like to trust you.
You can.
That's good.
Listen.
I miss you.
Fuck off, you cunt!
-Uwe! -The cunt took off.
What?
Kleo took off for Belgrade. Shall I go after her?
If Kleo is in Belgrade, they'll take care of her there.
Who will? The bloody Yugoslavs?
It's more important than the meeting.
Nothing is more important than meeting the comrades.
Moscow reached out.
-The wind is changing, Uwe. -What wind?
There was a coup at KGB HQ in Moscow.
Comrade Zhukov has taken over.
Oh yeah?
Zhukov will make sure
that Gorbachev's counter-revolutionary measures are withdrawn.
They'll return to the tried and tested communist structures
and reverse this aberration of pandering to the West.
That sounds good.
But what's that got to do with us and the meeting with the comrades?
-Uwe, my dear. -Yeah?
Zhukov contacted me yesterday.
He needs me, and I need you.
Oh yeah?
Does Operation Ludsch mean anything to you?
Ludsch?
-Comrade Rossbach? -My instructor back at Object Else?
That's the one. He'll be in charge of the operation.
Cheers.
CIA.
C. I. A.
Secret service.
CIA.
C, third letter.
I, ninth letter. A, first letter.
One plus three plus nine. 13.
Sum of the digits. Four.
One, two, three,
four.
"Quattuor". Four.
Saxum, Block. Quattuor. Four blocks. Eastern bloc.
Secret service. Eastern bloc, Southern bloc, Western bloc, North…
North…
America.
C… I… A.
North America.
Fuck.
Thilo, what are you doing?
Hey, do you write your name with a C or a K?
-What? -Well…
With a C or a K?
With a C. Why?
Fuck.
Why am I just now hearing about this?
You should've reported it right away.
Of course we would've had people in Belgrade
who could've taken care of her.
-I'm sorry. -Being sorry isn't an option.
We made a deal.
You report to us, and the police will forget about your drug issues.
Remember that.
-About this dance parade… -…has nothing to do with my mission.
-I should've taken care of Kleo. -No.
Make sure that this parade takes place.
I'm sorry?
Young people who just dance and take drugs
won't get in our way politically
as we create a new world order after the Cold War.
And now pray
that Kleo comes back alive.
I have the suitcase.
What?
I've found the suitcase!
Where did you get it?
From the suspect's room.
Don't look at me like that. I'm doing what it takes for our mission.
I can see that.
Hey, wait.
We found this suitcase together.
Well, in this case, it was more me than you, but…
This time, we'll both decide what happens. Agreed?
-Yeah. -Good.
Great.
No.
Fantastic. Really good investigating, Sven!
But Kleo, this is the suitcase.
Look at it. This is the suitcase.
One hundred percent. Smell it! This…
Kleo, she's suspicious.
From the very start, I thought something's off with this Kimberly. W…
Wait.
Wait!
Kim-"bear"-ly. OOSA Bear.
Kimberly is Agent Bear.
You can't make this shit up! Oh man!
I locked her in.
But our deal still stands.
No more killing unless it's absolutely necessary, okay?
Kleo, you have to promise me because…
I max out at one gunfight a week.
I can't take it any more.
What? If you're right, she has more skeletons in her closet
than both of us combined. And if not, then nothing will happen.
But can we still talk about it first?
Where are the files?
What files?
-The Reagan-Honecker pact. -Never heard of it.
Sven, what's going on?
Kimberly, I'm not the man you thought I was.
Comrade Agent Bear, where are the files?
Shit.
-Sven, get the gun. -Okay.
Okay, that's enough! Stop! Both of you!
Stop!
Now's not the time, but I was right.
Wait, not this way.
-You go that way, I'll go this way. -What?
Kimberly?
I just want to talk.
We may want the same thing.
-Where are the files? -I don't know what you mean.
-Where is the fucking pact? -I don't know where the pact is.
Kleo!
Grab her, I'm on my way!
Pull her up!
-Where are the documents? -We can sort that out later. Pull her up!
Tell me where they are, and I'll pull you up!
Stop fucking around.
Traitor!
Okay.
-Three. -Stop it!
Two.
-One! -Stop it!
Pull her up!
The comrades have them. The comrades in Berlin.
Pull!
What comrades?
The Ludsch comrades.
-What does that mean? -Ludsch is Russian for "beam".
It's a plan for an operation drawn up by the Stasi and the KGB.
The aim is to create a Soviet Republic of Germany.
The Federal Republic is to join the GDR and become part of the Soviet Union.
Where are the documents?
I left them at a dead drop on Ernst-Thälmann-Platz.
That's all I know.
In Berlin?
Yes, in Berlin.
Now you have what you need.
One more thing.
Who's behind Ludsch?
Good question.
But you already know far too much.
Stop it!
No!
-What have you done? -Me?
Yes, you!
She started it. You clearly saw that.
You had the advantage. You could've done something else.
Yeah? Like what?
Throw her the other way, for example.
You say that because she had you wrapped around her finger.
What the hell is wrong with you?
You just killed someone. Do you understand that?
How much longer will you keep going like this?
You're not some dumb attack dog who can't help it.
You're a human being.
Act like one.
Please.
Team?
Cool.
