["Tschekisten auf Wacht" continues]
[gun cocks]
[Anja] Andi? Dinner is ready.
I'm coming!
["Tschekisten auf Wacht" continues]
[gun cocks, firing]
[music stops]
[Kleo groans]
Just wait a second, please. Let's, uh, not do anything rash.
Of course she's gonna do something fucking rash!
What are you planning to do?
-Move. -No.
-No. Wha… Wha… Kleo? -[Kleo groans]
Look, maybe it was just a misunderstanding.
Maybe he was there to… to… to look out for you.
Maybe… Maybe it wasn't him at all. I was in shock.
It's maybe someone who I thought… Look, look…
Shit! You've got a fucking machine gun in the kitchen cupboard? Wha…
Of course you have. You're completely insane.
You mustn't kill him. You can't.
-[Kleo] Yes, I can. -[Sven] No. No.
We have an agreement!
You promised me before that there'd be no more killing--
You're the one who killed Uwe.
That was completely different!
-That was self-defence! -This is self-defence.
Okay, let's suppose you kill him. And then what?
Where has all this killing got you so far?
Are you one centimetre further on now?
Are you any wiser?
Are you happier?
No.
Killing doesn't get you anywhere. Killing…
It kills… people.
[exhales]
Good.
[gun rattling]
-Does that mean you won't kill him? -Yeah.
I want to talk.
Good, that's exactly what I wanted. And… and--
-[door opens] -[Kleo] Come on!
And we'll just leave that. We'll…
We'll just leave it lying there, will we, yeah?
[tense music playing]
[door closing]
-[music stops] -[Anja] Don't you like it?
[Andi inhales sharply]
Er… I'm sure it's nice,
but somehow, I'm just… not hungry.
I see.
I need to go to the doctor.
Anja, wait.
[sighs] Listen,
what do you say we go on a trip before the little rascal's born? Huh?
Four weeks in Kühlungsborn, just us two.
-How does that sound? -Hmm. And what about work?
Oh, I'll quit.
No one's buying Pralina stuff anyway.
And it's just a matter of time before they fire me.
But I'll start a business. Insurance.
[chuckles] Nice idea.
Yeah.
Insurance is good.
[chuckling]
-Yeah. -[Anja] Yeah.
-It's a deal then? -[Anja] Yeah.
When you get home, we'll pack your things, and we'll set off right away.
Today? So soon?
-[waltz music playing] -Of course. I'll be a free man.
[chuckling] That's a good start.
-Yeah? -[Anja] Yeah.
[sighs] Anja, I… I love you.
You and our family, it's…
it's the best thing that's ever happened to me.
[exhales]
[Anja] Andi?
I love you too.
[clicks tongue and chuckles]
[waltz music continues]
[knocking on door]
-[music stops] -Uh…
-Hello, Andi. My name is Sven-- -[gun fires]
-[Andi groaning] -[Sven screaming]
-[intriguing music playing] -Oh, for fuck's sake, Kleo! What the hell?
What are you doing?
-You promised me before. Kleo! -[Andi continues groaning]
-Seriously? -[Kleo] Get in there.
Why do we make deals if you can't keep to them?
I'm… I'm going in there but only because I want to!
[Andi breathing heavily]
[Sven] Kleo?
Kleo, open the door!
The… the stupid… [exhales sharply]
[Andi] Damn it, Kleo! You shot me. You actually shot me!
Yeah.
-[music stops] -[Andi groans]
[tense music playing]
She's just not a team player.
[objects clattering]
What were you doing at the Café International?
What was I doing there? [breathing heavily]
Uwe came here and said he was going finish you off,
so I went there to protect you.
[chuckles] Ah, sure!
Oh man, then it's all been a total misunderstanding!
So it wasn't really you who shot at me.
Because you would never do that, would you?
-[dramatic whoosh] -[gun fires]
Shit! Kleo?
Kleo, are you all right?
Huh? Huh?
[soft music playing]
What the…
Uh!
Oh dear.
Did someone switch all of the bullets?
Hmm?
[mysterious music playing]
[gun clicking]
[chuckles softly]
You lied to me the whole time.
-It was all just an act. -[soft music playing]
And if you hadn't all taught me to always be suspicious,
then I'd actually be dead. [smacks lips]
So now I'll have to do what I learned.
-Adieu! -Wait!
Wait, Kleo.
Yes, I betrayed you. I… [sighs]
-[soft music continues] -I betrayed you because they ordered me to
and I thought it was the right thing to do.
Now I know it was wrong.
[breathes heavily] We both know you'll have to kill me now,
so that's why I want to tell you everything.
You can do what you want with it.
[Kleo grunting]
[music fades]
It was about Mielke's suitcase.
I already know that.
Comrade Frey… [groaning]
…fled the country and offered it to West German Intelligence.
Luckily, we had one of our own people there.
A double agent. What?
[Andi] Yeah. Who passed the information back to your grandpa.
And Otto sent the best agent we had to go and get the job done.
You.
What is in this suitcase?
A kompromat. Mielke came by some documents.
Explosive documents.
He used them to blackmail powerful people. He held all the cards.
[shouting] What kind of kompromat?
A secret deal between… Uh…
Huh…
-[gun fires] -[Kleo gasps]
[tense synth music playing]
[Anja] Hmm. [chuckles]
Did you see his face?
How stupid he looked? [chuckling]
[Kleo breathing heavily]
That's Ramona's Makarov.
-Yeah, it's mine. -[Sven whimpering]
[sinister music playing]
You're Ramona.
Heard a lot about you.
Pleasure to meet you.
Likewise.
What are you doing here?
I had to keep an eye on him.
[sinister music continues]
He knew too much.
Anyway, you wouldn't have had the heart to do him in, comrade. Right?
Otherwise, he'd be long dead.
It's not good when feelings come into play.
[sinister music intensifies]
-[music stops] -Give me the handgun.
So you can shoot me?
Nah, they won't let me.
I'm afraid I haven't been ordered to kill you.
Give me your handgun so this little man can live.
[Sven] Uh…
I think that's a very good idea. [chuckles]
Kleo, listen, I know I get on your nerves sometimes,
but this knife is really, really sharp.
Please put the gun down. Please.
-Please. -[tense music playing]
Okay, I will.
Because I want to.
[gun rattling]
-[gun clicks] -[tense music continues]
Those feelings again.
All right, go.
[Sven breathing heavily]
[groans softly]
[Anja] Mmm.
[groans softly]
[tense music continues]
[Anja continues groaning]
[tense music intensifies]
[music stops]
[sighs]
[in Polish] See you.
Mmm.
[Sven sighs]
[exhales sharply]
Huh?
[in English] What the hell… Huh?
Who… Who's that?
-[nostalgic music playing] -What's going on here?
One of the… We've… We've got one crazy…
The other one comes here and…
-Absolutely ridiculous day! -[softly] Sleep well, little trumpeter.
[Sven] One… One… One's even crazier than the other!
Don't you have any normal people in the East or something?
I mean, why can't you all just… just communicate?
Kleo, who… who was that?
Ramona.
[nostalgic music continues]
[softly] Are… Are you all right?
[Kleo breathing heavily]
Kleo, we… we need to go. Now.
[Kleo sucks teeth]
[nostalgic music continues]
[Sven sighs]
Right. What a waste.

["Journey of the Heart" by Gaynor O'Flynn and Sachidanand Rauniyar playing]
[birds chirping]
Thilo?
[door closing]
Dopi, cool. Cool of you to come.
When a friend calls, I'm right here.
["Journey of the Heart" continues]
[inhales deeply] You've got a problem, right?
Absolutely.
I sensed it.
-In here. -Amazing. The connection between us.
Yeah, totally amazing.
Dopi, our club, the location you found is--
Awesome. I'm telling you, it'll blow everyone's minds--
Yeah, I know.
[exhales]
I also know how we can pay for the location.
-Not just for one night but forever. -Really?
I can finally fulfil my mission.
It might just mean someone…
Well,
I need to do something that isn't quite right.
Cool.
Classic dilemma.
Just like a Greek tragedy.
Totally.
-Iphigenia in Tauris. -Exactly.
But listen, your mission, it's goddamn important--
Yeah, well--
More important than anything. No question what you should do.
Think of the people on Sirius B who believe in you.
Think of your princess who's waiting for you up there.
[ominous rumble]
["Flashback" by Alessandro Rizzo and Elliot Greenway Ireland playing]
Dopi, the sign.
They've sent me the sign.
Holy mackerel!
[Thilo chuckling]
["Flashback" continues]
[both laughing]
[song ends]
[Sven sniffs]
[Kleo sobbing]
You loved him, right?
[Kleo continues sobbing]
Kleo, it's really none of my business, and I'm very sorry for your loss, but…
but we need to talk about where we go from here.
[Kleo sniffles]
Was he able to tell you anything before he…
Before she, um…
Anything that could help us?
He said there was a double agent at West German Intelligence.
I'm sorry?
A double agent at West German Intelligence, um…
Okay.
[Kleo chuckling]
Sven?
[Sven] Yeah?
A few days ago, an agent from West German Intelligence
came to our house. She wanted to talk to my grandpa.
That…
[intriguing music playing]
…was Anne Geike.
[intriguing music continues]
[door closing]
[Sven] "Anne Geike."
[sighs]
[humming]
[Kleo] That's her.
She's the one who showed up at our door. That's our double agent.
-Reinhard-Gehlen Street, Pullach. -[Kleo] Mmm.
-We're going to Pullach-- -[Jenny] Sven?
Jenny, what… but…
I… I was… I… I didn't see you.
I was in the basement.
Hey, are you kidding me? You've brought this Stasi assassin back to our house?
-It's just… -And I'm calling the police.
But, Jen… Jenny, Jenny, Jenny!
Please trust me.
She's completely harmless. We're… We're sort of working together.
Sven, I don't give a shit about this woman!
My God, you don't come home for days, you don't call, you don't apologise.
I've no idea where you are, okay? And what am I meant to tell our son?
Do you even realise you're destroying our family, Sven?
Honestly, right now, I have more important shit to deal with
than have this fucking conversation with you.
I know things are really difficult between us just now, but let me solve this case--
I slept with Frederick.
You what?
I had sex with Frederick, Sven.
[Sven breathing deeply]
Congratulations.
Hey.
Mark. Mark, wait.
[breathes deeply] She, um…
[inhales] Jenny and I are going through a bit of a rough patch--
-Dad, please. -I want you to know we'll get through it--
-[Mark] Dad? Dad. Dad. -Okay?
-I'm 16, okay? -[emotional music playing]
I'll be fine if you two…
Well, in case you…
Okay.
-You don't have to stay together for me. -[Sven] Okay.
[Mark] A relationship can go stale eventually, right?
Yeah.
I mean, it's really no surprise if you or Mum had the odd… fuck buddy.
"Fuck buddy"?
Fuck buddy. [chuckles]
Who taught you that expression?
Fuck buddy? I've never said "fuck buddy." Mmm.
[clears throat]
[emotional music continues]
Ms. Luxemburg.
-Hello there, little brother. -[Mark chuckles lightly]
[house door opening]
You've got a great kid.
[door closing]
[Sven sighs]
[engine starting]
[emotional music continues]
[Min] I told our informant Sven Petzold to stay close to the suspect
and to let us know about her plans.
The border police confirmed they entered the border
at the Rudolphstein/Hirschberg checkpoint of the Federal Republic.
[projector clicking]
This is Jenny Schneider, Sven Petzold's partner.
And the other person in the picture,
Frederick Lembech, Sven Petzold's colleague and best friend.
[ominous music playing]
[scoffs] Never trust your best friend, right?
[chuckling]
[Min] We can assume the target is in the Federal Republic,
probably in southern Germany, Munich or the surrounding area.
[man] So they're very close by.
Yes. Maybe closer than we would like.
Thanks very much, Ms. Sun.
Excellent groundwork.
Please put all of that down in your report.
I'll take over from here then.
-[ominous music continues] -I'd say, "Let's call it a day."
Okay, guys?
[indistinct chatter]
[ominous music continues]
-[line picks up] -[man speaks indistinctly over phone]
This is Geike.
Kleo Straub is here. Huh?
Yeah. Here in Pullach. You said you were on top of this.
Me?
[chuckles lightly] Why me?
Are you threatening me?
[ominous music intensifies]
Yeah.
Understood.
[exhales sharply]
Okay, fine. I'll take matters into my own hands then.
[gun cocks]
[Min] Anne?
Min. Good briefing. See you tomorrow.
[in Chinese] Bye.
[in English] By the way, I was in the archives,
looking up the Big Eden case.
[ominous music continues]
-And? -[Min] I flicked through a few files.
A Stasi assassin in West Berlin,
I thought we might have a file in there too.
And did we?
I'm glad you asked me that.
[inhales] There is a dossier, actually, Anne.
But the file has disappeared.
How strange.
Yes, strange.
But then I did come across something in there.
An invoice. Hospitality expenses.
[scoffs lightly] Hospitality expenses.
[Min] From Big Eden.
Submitted by you.
Yeah, that's right. That was me.
Why didn't you tell me
that you were present at the Big Eden that night?
I would have liked to, but that dossier is classified.
You understand that, right?
And the fact that the invoice ended up in the archives must have been a mistake.
That's what I thought too at first.
Oh, but then I wondered why you specifically gave me this job.
[action music playing quietly]
It was your turn.
Yes, that could be the reason.
Or… you wanted the whole thing to come to nothing,
and that's why you gave me the job.
You've never trusted me, have you, Anne?
[action music continues]
"The art of war is based on deception."
That's how the saying goes, right?
[action music intensifies]
[music fades]
[action music playing quietly]
-[Geike breathes heavily] -[door closing]
[paper crumpling]
-[music stops] -[Kleo whistling]
[Geike breathing heavily]
You left so quickly last time, Anne.
We weren't able to say goodbye properly, comrade.
May I still call you "comrade"?
After all, we work for the same firm.
What firm?
Okay, that's what we're not gonna do this time, yeah?
Hello, Ms. Geike. [clears throat]
The Stasi had apparently a double agent in West German Intelligence.
We assume it was you,
and we just wanted to have a quiet chat with you about it.
Your commanding officer was my grandpa.
We even worked together, '87 at the Big Eden.
I eliminated Frey, and you took the suitcase.
Where is the suitcase?
Do you know what has always irritated me?
You lot in the Stasi.
-You were always so fucking arrogant. -[Kleo] Hmm.
Thought you were smarter than the other secret services,
but you weren't.
More snitches than citizens, and you didn't see the collapse coming.
-[laughing] -[Sven laughing]
She's right. [clears throat]
And now your crappy service no longer exists.
But me? I'm still here.
And I have no intention of going down with you.
[grunts]
-[Sven screams] -[action music playing]
-[gun firing] -[Kleo groans]
-[gun firing] -[Geike groaning]
-[gun firing] -[Kleo groaning]
[action music fades]
You know what I got for all this shit? A paltry 15,000 Western marks.
-[chuckling] -[Sven gasping]
-Stop whining. -[Sven continues gasping]
Your pathetic GDR is going down,
and I'm in danger of going down with your shitty little country,
just for 15,000.
[tense music playing]
[Sven straining]
I promised the guy down there I wouldn't kill any more people.
[Geike chuckling]
Sven, can I make an exception?
[Sven] No!
Oh! Go ahead!
[Kleo sighs]
[action music playing]
Let's talk. Talking is our privilege.
[action music intensifies]
Okay.
[Kleo groaning]
-[grunts] -[Geike groans]
[action music crescendos]

[Kleo laughs]
[Geike screaming]
[continues screaming]
-[Kleo] Ooh… -[Geike continues screaming]
[screaming stops]
[Sven whimpering softly]
[extinguisher whirring]
[Kleo sighs]
[sighing]
[birds chirping]
Ahh…
Ahh! Ahh!
Ooh.
Ow.
[groaning]
So did you torch her?
No, she set torched herself.
Why did you torch her before she could talk to us?
I wanted to talk to her, but then one thing led to another.
-[grunts] -[Sven] Ah. Shit, Kleo.
I think this is serious.
She's pierced an artery or something.
-[whimsical music playing] -[screaming]
[scoffs] Nonsense.
-[blade swishes] -[Sven screaming]
-You'd be dead by now. -Really?
Hmm.
Our beautiful TV tower, of all things.
[whimsical music continues]
[woman] I bought this whole pile of shit. I don't know.
Maybe I'll leave it standing for now until the property's worth something.
It's all just junk here.
-What is it you want to do? -Gallery with a standing bar.
A gallery, yeah?
-A club. -A club?
-[Thilo] A club. Do you know what that is? -Uh, what kind of club will it be?
Well, music, dance beats, techno.
[vocalising]
I don't really get it.
A disco.
A disco, here? Who would… [scoffs]
Well, whatever you think. But payments to be made monthly.
-[Dopi] And people stripped to the waist. -[zip opening]
Feelings.
-I'll pay in advance. -[Dopi] Feelings.
["Flashback" by Alessandro Rizzo and Elliot Greenway Ireland playing]
Awesome. Power. Power.
[moaning]
[Thilo] Dopi, dude, awesome!
[Thilo and Dopi chuckling]
Okay, now what? [sighing]
["Flashback" continues]
[song fades]
Where is the suitcase?
[footsteps receding]
[intriguing music playing]
Easter Island.
Chile.
[intriguing music continues]
Look for anything to do with Chile.
You look down here, and I'll look upstairs.
-[Sven] Why? -[Kleo] It's just a feeling.
Why… Why Chile?
[blows raspberry]
Why… Oh, she's crazy.
[grunts] She's completely…
[groans] …incapable of communicating…
[sighs]
Chile.
Huh.
[music stops]
That was easy.
Hmm.
Kleo, I've got something.
[waltz music playing]
She was in Chile in 1987.
Really?
Jorge?
This is Jorge.
Who's, uh… Jorge?
A comrade from back then.
A comrade or "comrade" comrade?
"Comrade" comrade.
Hmm. Cool.
We need to go to Chile.
The suitcase might be there.
Come on.
[waltz music continues]
[birds chirping]
[motorbike revving]
Hi.
[music stops]
[birds chirping]
-[pedestrian 1] Yeah, yeah. -[pedestrian 2] Here is…
[Kleo] The bag can't have vanished.
I put it there myself.
Okay, and… [groans]
Could anyone have taken it?
[door unlocking]
Why did you steal from me?
-What goes around comes around. -Thilo, but you don't steal!
"Here will we be trained as agents so we are capable of carrying out
diversionary actions in the area of operations, individual acts of terror,
capture of individuals, reconnaissance,
destruction, appropriation."
You could've just asked me.
-I had to do it. -Why?
Kleo, there was a sign, and I have this mission--
What is your mission?
From up there. Sirius B.
-That's where he's from. -That's right.
What the fuck, are you shitting us? Sirius B's a star.
-No one can come from there. -Can.
There's a princess.
She's waiting for me.
But I can only go back to her once I've fulfilled my mission.
[Sven sighs]
I needed
the money to get back to my home.
Kleo, do you understand?
Back home.
My home. I need to go home.
Just like you.
Yeah, but we needed the money as well.
I wanted to use this to buy a smoke machine. It's a gift.
"A gift."
That'll do.
I'll get the tickets.
"Princess."
Uh, what tickets?
I need to go to Chile.
I will be back.
[mysterious music playing]
But I won't be here anymore.
-[kisses] -[Kleo chuckles]
[suspenseful music playing]
Huh.

[in English] As the saying goes.
[dramatic music playing]
[car approaching]
Thanks for everything.
What? Hmm? Hey, wh…
I'm coming with you. We…
You don't have to.
Uh… You said I was coming with you because…
because you want me to come with you, don't you?
-[whimsical music playing] -But why would I want that?
-[music stops] -Are you kidding me?
What do you mean? We're a team, aren't we?
Because the… the suitcase and all that.
You… You, um…
You… You like me.
[sighs] Well, you need me at least.
Right?
[melodic music playing]
Let's go.
[Sven groaning lightly]
[car door opening and closing]
[sighing] She likes me.

[Margot] My God, are you pregnant?
["Carta al Che" continues]
You see, we have a situation.
Pick up the suitcase from there before someone else does.
[in Spanish] Thank you.
