What do you have to tell us?
11
00:01:16,525 --> 00:01:18,483
I've done nothing.
12
00:01:20,192 --> 00:01:21,233
I know nothing.

You think we imprison people on a whim?
15
00:01:29,608 --> 00:01:31,442
No...
16
00:01:31,692 --> 00:01:34,025
If you think our humanistic system
capable of such a thing,
1700:01:34,150 --> 00:01:37,317
that alone would justify your arrest.
18
00:01:39,692 --> 00:01:43,733
We'd like to jog your memory, prisoner no. 227.
19
00:01:44,525 --> 00:01:46,400
On September 28th, Dieter Pirmasens,
20
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:50,108
your friend and neighbor, fled to the West.
21
00:01:50,442 --> 00:01:53,025
We believe that he had help.
22
00:01:53,192 --> 00:01:54,608
I know nothing.
23
00:01:55,317 --> 00:01:57,733
He didn't even tell me he wanted to leave.
24
00:01:57,858 --> 00:01:59,775
I first heard about it at work.
25
00:02:00,316 --> 00:02:04,483
Please recount what you did on September 28th.

- It's in my statement.
- Tell me again.
27
00:02:09,858 --> 00:02:13,275
I was at Treptow Park memorial with my children.
28
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,275
Where I met my old friend Max Kirchner.
29
00:02:16,441 --> 00:02:20,316
We went to his placeand listened to music until late.
30
00:02:21,066 --> 00:02:24,275
He has a telephone,
you can call him to confirm this.
31
00:02:24,691 --> 00:02:26,691
I can give you the number.
32
00:02:28,233 --> 00:02:30,608
The enemies of our state are arrogant.
33
00:02:30,858 --> 00:02:32,608
Remember that.
34
00:02:32,691 --> 00:02:36,400
It takes patience. About 40 hours worth.

He knows he's there for a reason.
50
00:03:41,900 --> 00:03:45,150
The best way to establish guilt or innocence
51
00:03:45,233 --> 00:03:48,025
is non-stop interrogation.
52
00:03:48,150 --> 00:03:50,608
...school friend Max Kirchner.
53
00:03:51,733 --> 00:03:54,025We went to his place...
54
00:03:55,733 --> 00:03:59,358
and listened to music until late.
55
00:04:01,275 --> 00:04:06,358
He has a telephone,
you can call him to confirm this.
56
00:04:08,650 --> 00:04:11,400
Do you notice anything about his statement?
57
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,483
It's the same as at the beginning.
58
00:04:14,983 --> 00:04:18,566
Exactly the same. Word for word.
59
00:04:18,941 --> 00:04:21,941
People who tell the truth
can re-formulate things,
60
00:04:22,066 --> 00:04:23,108
and they do.

A liar has prepared sentences,
which he falls back on

when under pressure.
63
00:04:30,525 --> 00:04:33,066
227 is lying.
64
00:04:33,191 --> 00:04:38,233
We have two important indicators,
and can increase the intensity.

If you don't give names,
66
00:04:41,650 --> 00:04:43,858
We'll have to arrest your wife.
67
00:04:45,775 --> 00:04:48,816
Jan and Nadja
will be put into state care.
68
00:04:49,066 --> 00:04:50,608
Is that what you want?
69
00:04:56,483 --> 00:04:58,900
Who was the person who helped him flee?
70
00:05:00,566 --> 00:05:02,733
- Glaske...
- Again! Speak clearly!
71
00:05:04,858 --> 00:05:08,025
Glaske... Werner Glaske.
72
00:05:08,858 --> 00:05:11,191
Werner... Glaske.

Listen!
76
00:05:25,941 --> 00:05:27,650
Does anyone know what that is?
77
00:05:34,316 --> 00:05:37,233It's the odor sample for the dogs.
78
00:05:37,358 --> 00:05:42,191
It must be collected at every
interrogation. Never forget it!
79
00:05:47,233 --> 00:05:50,983
Your subjects are enemies of Socialism.
80
00:05:51,524 --> 00:05:54,858
Never forget that! Goodbye.
81
00:05:59,774 --> 00:06:01,733
That was good, really good.
82
00:06:05,316 --> 00:06:06,399
You remember
83
00:06:06,691 --> 00:06:10,858
how we sat there 20 years ago?
84
00:06:13,399 --> 00:06:15,899
They've offered me a professorship.
85

mine weren't that bad, thanks to you.
86
00:06:23,649 --> 00:06:24,983
So what's up?
87
00:06:25,358 --> 00:06:28,108
Why do you always think I'm scheming?
88
00:06:28,441 --> 00:06:31,483
- I wanted to invite you to the theater.
- The theater?
89
00:06:32,274 --> 00:06:35,233I heard that Minister Hempf is going.
90
00:06:35,858 --> 00:06:39,274
As head of the Culture Department,
I should show my face.
91
00:06:39,899 --> 00:06:43,233
It starts at 7 p.m. We should get going.

Minister Hempf at one o'clock.

00:07:00,441 --> 00:07:04,566
He used to be in State Security, you know.
95
00:07:04,941 --> 00:07:07,733
He really cleaned up the theater scene.
96
00:07:15,316 --> 00:07:18,066
Georg Dreyman, the writer.
97
00:07:18,608 --> 00:07:22,983
An arrogant type, the kind I warn my students about.

If they were all like him, I'd be out of a job.
100
00:07:28,233 --> 00:07:32,316
He's our only non-subversive writer
who is also read in the West.
101
00:07:33,524 --> 00:07:36,316
He thinks the GDR is the greatest country on earth.
102
00:07:39,733 --> 00:07:41,358
It starts.
103
00:07:54,649 --> 00:07:57,774
What's wrong, my child? A new vision?
104
00:07:57,816 --> 00:07:59,566Speak, Marta! Speak!
105
00:07:59,858 --> 00:08:00,899
Your Arthur...
106
00:08:03,149 --> 00:08:04,358
is dead.
107
00:08:04,858 --> 00:08:08,816
Arthur? Can't you be wrong, just this once?
108
00:08:08,983 --> 00:08:10,899
No, sister. Believe me.
109
00:08:13,066 --> 00:08:15,608
He fell to his death.
110

Crushed by the mighty wheel.
111
00:08:22,733 --> 00:08:24,858
I see it,
112
00:08:26,566 --> 00:08:28,566
though I'd rather see any other horror.
113
00:08:32,066 --> 00:08:34,899
Why am I not spared these visions?
114
00:08:38,191 --> 00:08:41,483Elena! Go home... and mourn.
I'll finish your shift.
115
00:09:23,399 --> 00:09:27,482
Did you like it? Dreyman's good, eh?
116
00:09:27,649 --> 00:09:29,441
I'd have him monitored.
117
00:09:29,566 --> 00:09:33,732
Monitored? All that teaching
is ruining your instincts.
118
00:09:33,816 --> 00:09:36,024
I could oversee it myself.
119
00:09:36,066 --> 00:09:39,024
He's clean, I tell you. Even Hempf likes him.
120
00:09:39,149 --> 00:09:41,732
We'd be shooting ourselves in the foot.
121
00:09:42,399 --> 00:09:44,066
I'm going down.

I hear a lot about your work.

00:10:16,691 --> 00:10:18,816
They say culture's in good hands.
125
00:10:19,857 --> 00:10:21,691
Your name is mentioned in Party circles.
126
00:10:21,774 --> 00:10:24,232
We're the Party's 'shield and sword'.
127
00:10:24,357 --> 00:10:26,399
I'm aware of that at all times.
128
00:10:31,566 --> 00:10:33,232
What do you make of him?
129
00:10:36,274 --> 00:10:37,649Of Georg Dreyman?
130
00:10:42,149 --> 00:10:43,941
Maybe...
131
00:10:44,816 --> 00:10:46,399
Maybe what?
132
00:10:49,441 --> 00:10:53,566
Maybe he's not as clean as he seems.
133
00:10:55,274 --> 00:10:59,399
Grubitz! That's why you and I are on top.
134
00:11:00,316 --> 00:11:02,316
Your average Stasi chump would have said,
135
7/27/2019 The Lives of Others Subtitles
12/102
00:11:02,399 --> 00:11:05,524
"One of our best! So loyal!" etc.
136
00:11:05,649 --> 00:11:07,649
But we can see more.
137
00:11:08,482 --> 00:11:10,524
You're heading to the very top, Grubitz.
138
00:11:13,524 --> 00:11:15,149
There's something fishy about him.
139
00:11:15,316 --> 00:11:18,482I can feel it in my gut.
140
00:11:22,732 --> 00:11:25,107
Dreyman's having a party next week.
141
00:11:25,149 --> 00:11:28,357
Some dubious types are going, Hauser and that rabble.
14200:11:28,441 --> 00:11:30,399
Try to wire the place discreetly by then.
143
00:11:30,524 --> 00:11:33,774
Measures A and B.
144
00:11:34,149 --> 00:11:36,149
Only in his rooms. Nothing conspicuous.
145
00:11:36,232 --> 00:11:38,691
He has powerful friends.
146
00:11:38,816 --> 00:11:40,524
No one is to know about this
147
00:11:40,607 --> 00:11:43,816
until we've found something.

149
00:11:49,857 --> 00:11:52,732you'll have a good friend in the Central Committee.
150
00:11:52,857 --> 00:11:54,732
You understand what I'm saying?
151
00:11:57,732 --> 00:12:00,482
Have a nice evening, Comrade Minister.
15200:12:21,732 --> 00:12:23,857
Why is he staring at us?
153
00:12:27,899 --> 00:12:30,065
What's he doing here, anyway?
154
00:12:30,607 --> 00:12:33,190
I think he's got a crush on you.
155
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:54,315
I can't let the evening pass
without raising a toast to our artists.
156
00:12:54,940 --> 00:12:58,524
A great Socialist,
I can't recall who it was, once said:
157
00:12:58,607 --> 00:13:02,440
Writers are engineers of the soul.
158
00:13:02,565 --> 00:13:03,940
So Georg Dreyman is
159
00:13:03,982 --> 00:13:06,524
one of our country's greatest engineers.
160

- What charming bed-fellows you have.
- Paul!
161
00:13:15,565 --> 00:13:17,607And to Christa-Maria Sieland,
162
00:13:17,607 --> 00:13:20,482
the loveliest pearl of the GDR.
163
00:13:20,565 --> 00:13:22,815
I believe that
nobody contradict my opinion.
164
00:13:22,982 --> 00:13:25,524
Let's raise our glasses
165
00:13:25,565 --> 00:13:29,690
to Christa-Maria Sieland:
Three cheers to her.
166
00:13:34,065 --> 00:13:36,357Someone like him doesn't even deserve
to address you.
167
00:13:36,482 --> 00:13:38,982
Stay with me!
168
00:13:41,107 --> 00:13:42,940
And now something for the soul...
169
00:13:44,649 --> 00:13:46,440
May I?
170
00:13:51,690 --> 00:13:55,357
- How did you like my speech?
- Many thanks.
171
00:13:55,857 --> 00:13:57,899
I liked your play too.

Really, it was good.
17300:13:59,940 --> 00:14:03,565
"Engineers of the soul."
That was a Stalin quote.
174
00:14:03,649 --> 00:14:04,857
Really?
175
00:14:06,149 --> 00:14:09,315
I, too, like to provoke, Mr. Hauser.
176
00:14:09,899 --> 00:14:13,065
But unlike you, I know how far I can go.
177
00:14:14,190 --> 00:14:17,065
I'm more like our dear Dreyman.
178
00:14:17,149 --> 00:14:19,399He knows that the Party needs artists,
179
00:14:19,524 --> 00:14:21,440
but that artists need the Party even more.
180
00:14:22,024 --> 00:14:24,940
If you're going to talk politics,
I'll find another dance partner.
181
00:14:25,024 --> 00:14:27,857
- I'm willing.
- Too late!
182
00:14:32,649 --> 00:14:35,982
I follow our theater with interest.
183
00:14:36,024 --> 00:14:38,065
It used to be theater people...

00:14:38,149 --> 00:14:40,107
- Paul!
- It's okay,
185
00:14:40,149 --> 00:14:42,065
I've known Mr. Hauser for years.
186
00:14:42,190 --> 00:14:43,315
Comrade Schwalber!
187
00:14:43,940 --> 00:14:46,440
You did a good job tonight too.
188
00:14:46,857 --> 00:14:49,565
Dreyman, I'm glad you're working
with such directors.
189
00:14:50,607 --> 00:14:52,482
It wasn't always so.
19000:14:54,274 --> 00:14:56,024
You're referring to Jerska?
191
00:14:58,399 --> 00:15:01,315
I think you judged him too harshly.
192
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:06,190
Sure, he went too far in what he said.
Without a doubt.
193
00:15:07,274 --> 00:15:08,149
But
194
00:15:08,815 --> 00:15:13,315
put yourself in his shoes for a moment.
You, as a man of honor.
195
00:15:14,190 --> 00:15:17,274

He can't remove his name
from that statement.
196
00:15:19,774 --> 00:15:23,774
He could work for any theater in the West.
197
00:15:23,857 --> 00:15:25,607
But he wants to stay here.
198
00:15:25,690 --> 00:15:29,940
Because he believes in Socialism
and in this country.
19900:15:30,232 --> 00:15:33,732
- His black-listing is...
- Black-listing?
200
00:15:34,274 --> 00:15:39,940
We don't do that here!
You should choose your words more carefully.
201
00:15:45,274 --> 00:15:47,982Comrade Hempf, just between us:
202
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,399
My plays are not strong enough
203
00:15:51,482 --> 00:15:53,024
to survive Schwalber's direction.
204
00:15:53,107 --> 00:15:54,857
I need Jerska,
205
00:15:55,815 --> 00:15:57,899
and I think you judged him too harshly.
206
00:15:57,940 --> 00:15:59,690
Well, I don't.
207
7/27/2019 The Lives of Others Subtitles
18/102
00:15:59,773 --> 00:16:02,190
But that's what we all love about your plays.
208
00:16:02,273 --> 00:16:04,440
Your love for mankind...
209
00:16:04,565 --> 00:16:06,357
your belief that people can change.
210
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:08,315
Dreyman,
211
00:16:09,690 --> 00:16:12,482no matter how often you say it in your plays,
212
00:16:13,398 --> 00:16:15,357
people do not change!
213
00:16:18,898 --> 00:16:20,607
How is he, by the way?
21400:16:21,815 --> 00:16:24,065
He hopes that his black- ...
215
00:16:24,940 --> 00:16:26,940
that he can work again soon.
216
00:16:33,565 --> 00:16:35,273
Is he right in hoping?
217
00:16:35,315 --> 00:16:39,523
Of course he is.
As long as he lives, and even longer.
218
00:16:39,648 --> 00:16:43,398
Because as you know, Dreyman,
hope always dies last.
219
00:16:58,565 --> 00:17:01,565

The team will be ready
to wire the place as of tomorrow.
220
00:17:02,690 --> 00:17:05,107
It needs to be finished by Thursday.
221
00:17:05,232 --> 00:17:06,565
You should plan everything carefully.
222
00:17:06,690 --> 00:17:07,815
Think you can do it?
223
00:17:11,815 --> 00:17:12,815Good night.
224
00:18:46,982 --> 00:18:48,565
I'll get in trouble if I don't go.
225
00:18:48,607 --> 00:18:50,148
- With who?
- My girlfriend.
226
00:20:48,356 --> 00:20:49,898
Twenty minutes.
227
00:22:47,356 --> 00:22:47,981
Yes?
228
00:22:48,106 --> 00:22:51,231
Frau Meineke... One word of this to anyone,
229
00:22:51,356 --> 00:22:54,356
and Masha loses her spot at the university.
230
00:22:57,856 --> 00:22:59,773
Is that understood?
231
00:23:00,689 --> 00:23:01,773
Yes.
7/27/2019 The Lives of Others Subtitles
20/102
232
00:23:04,773 --> 00:23:08,648
Send Mrs. Meineke a gift for her cooperation.
23300:23:20,814 --> 00:23:22,814
It must be Thursday again.
234
00:23:23,731 --> 00:23:27,689
Time passes so quickly...
Perhaps that's a good thing.
235
00:23:45,898 --> 00:23:48,523
- How are you?- Not bad.
236
00:23:50,064 --> 00:23:52,189
It's not always this noisy.
237
00:23:52,856 --> 00:23:54,564
Only on Thursdays, I know.
23800:23:55,814 --> 00:23:57,189
Yes.
239
00:24:01,231 --> 00:24:02,856
We missed you at the premiere.
240
00:24:03,648 --> 00:24:05,606
Did Schwalber do a good job?
241
00:24:08,273 --> 00:24:10,398
His good bits were stolen from you.
242
00:24:10,898 --> 00:24:12,898
That keeps my ideas alive.
243
00:24:21,398 --> 00:24:22,606
Don't bear it.
7/27/2019 The Lives of Others Subtitles
21/102
244
00:24:22,731 --> 00:24:25,106
I can't bear those fat, dressed-up people
245
00:24:25,189 --> 00:24:27,148at premieres anymore.
246
00:24:29,981 --> 00:24:33,273
Doesn't sound like me, does it?
247
00:24:33,856 --> 00:24:36,689
But maybe this is the real me,
24800:24:36,731 --> 00:24:38,856
not the old Jerska.
249
00:24:39,064 --> 00:24:42,898
He was friendly and caring, nourished by success...
250
00:24:44,856 --> 00:24:48,148
all thanks to the grace of the bigwigs.
251
00:24:52,481 --> 00:24:54,481
But I won't complain much longer.
252
00:24:55,314 --> 00:24:59,023
In my next life, I'll simply be an author.
253
00:24:59,064 --> 00:25:02,981
A happy author
who can write whenever he wants.
254
00:25:04,273 --> 00:25:05,564
Like you.
255
00:25:07,189 --> 00:25:10,273
What is a director if he can't direct?
256
00:25:11,106 --> 00:25:14,481
7/27/2019 The Lives of Others Subtitles
22/102
He's a projectionist without a film,
257
00:25:14,564 --> 00:25:16,398
a miller without corn. He is nothing.
258
00:25:21,731 --> 00:25:23,731
Nothing at all.
259
00:25:27,106 --> 00:25:32,314
Albert, the Minister was at the premiere.
Minister Hempf.
260
00:25:33,814 --> 00:25:36,773I spoke to him about your blacklisting.
261
00:25:41,231 --> 00:25:43,064
It looks promising.
262
00:25:43,481 --> 00:25:48,773
He gave me hope, concrete hope. Literally.
26300:25:50,856 --> 00:25:51,731
Really?
264
00:25:56,189 --> 00:25:57,689
That's great.
265
00:26:40,897 --> 00:26:43,939
Cheap Georgian wine. Chateau Jerska.
266
00:26:44,022 --> 00:26:46,897
So is our holy drinker coming?
267
00:26:50,064 --> 00:26:52,314
I forgot to ask him.
268
00:26:58,481 --> 00:27:01,981
You're strong and forceful.
That's how I need you.
7/27/2019 The Lives of Others Subtitles
23/102
269
00:27:02,481 --> 00:27:04,814
Don't let this blackness into your life.
27000:27:04,897 --> 00:27:08,064
- Albert is my friend.
- And you're my boyfriend.
271
00:27:08,231 --> 00:27:10,356
Looks like a 50th.
272
00:27:10,939 --> 00:27:13,189
But I'm going to be 40, right?
273
00:27:13,314 --> 00:27:17,772
Don't forget, you promised
to wear a tie for your birthday.
274
00:27:18,272 --> 00:27:20,439
I would, but I don't have one.
27500:27:24,772 --> 00:27:26,314
Bon anniversaire!
276
00:27:29,814 --> 00:27:31,356
A tie?
277
00:27:31,481 --> 00:27:33,189
You said you didn't want any books.
278
00:27:35,939 --> 00:27:37,981
Or can't you tie a tie,
279
00:27:38,022 --> 00:27:39,231
you old working-class poet?
280
00:27:39,647 --> 00:27:40,731
What?
7/27/2019 The Lives of Others Subtitles
24/102
281
00:27:42,231 --> 00:27:44,106
I was born wearing a tie!
282
00:27:44,939 --> 00:27:46,481I had to "fight my way out
283
00:27:46,564 --> 00:27:49,231
of my middle-class fetters".
284
00:27:49,606 --> 00:27:53,314
Then put those fetters on again, just for me.
28500:28:01,606 --> 00:28:04,272
Alright... It's no
286
00:28:05,314 --> 00:28:07,356
big deal to tie a tie.
287
00:28:22,606 --> 00:28:26,731
Frau Meineke, would you come in for a moment!
288
00:28:34,064 --> 00:28:37,106
Can you tie a tie?
289
00:28:41,856 --> 00:28:44,189
You've no idea how thankful I am.
290
00:28:49,731 --> 00:28:54,772
- Are you feeling unwell?
- No... I'm feeling fine.
291
00:28:55,356 --> 00:28:56,564
Finished?
292
00:29:01,064 --> 00:29:05,106
Wonderful. It's perfect.
It couldn't be better.
293
7/27/2019 The Lives of Others Subtitles
25/102
00:29:06,356 --> 00:29:10,147
It'll be our secret.
You can keep a secret, right?
294
00:29:10,689 --> 00:29:12,064Of course.
295
00:29:22,564 --> 00:29:26,397
I'll be damned! And I thought you couldn't do it.
296
00:29:26,772 --> 00:29:29,397
You don't normally hide your talents.
29700:29:29,606 --> 00:29:32,272
You've no idea of the things I can do!
298
00:29:37,147 --> 00:29:38,689
The first guest.
299
00:29:44,356 --> 00:29:47,231
Our dear neighbors locked the main door again.
300
00:29:47,314 --> 00:29:49,272
- Can you go?
- Yes, I'm going.
301
00:30:16,147 --> 00:30:18,855
Maestro! Our humble offerings.
302
00:30:18,980 --> 00:30:22,772
- I expressly said no books!
- But thanks.
303
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:26,605
Would you like a drink?
304
00:30:26,689 --> 00:30:28,689
- A soda.
- Vodka for me.

305
00:30:28,772 --> 00:30:29,605
I'll get it.
306
00:30:40,730 --> 00:30:43,480Why the hell's Albert sitting all alone?
307
00:30:43,689 --> 00:30:46,814
He won't talk to us.
He sent us all away.
308
00:31:01,189 --> 00:31:02,897
I brought you something too.
309
00:31:06,980 --> 00:31:11,897
- Did you really come here to read?
- It is Brecht!
310
00:31:20,564 --> 00:31:23,647
I feel like a fraud among these people.
311
00:31:24,105 --> 00:31:25,647A fraud?
312
00:31:25,939 --> 00:31:29,814
Come off it, Albert!
You're losing your grip on reality.
313
00:31:31,272 --> 00:31:33,564
You know how we admire you,
314
00:31:33,647 --> 00:31:35,439
how everybody admires you.
315
00:31:35,564 --> 00:31:38,564
For something I did 10 years ago...
316
00:31:40,939 --> 00:31:43,939
and could probably never do again.

319
00:31:52,314 --> 00:31:54,272
Tell me again how you got into this position.
320
00:31:54,314 --> 00:31:56,897
Pure talent.
32100:31:57,730 --> 00:32:00,772
Of course!
322
00:32:01,314 --> 00:32:03,897
But what else did you have to do?
323
00:32:04,730 --> 00:32:07,272
Everyone knows you're with the Stasi!
324
00:32:07,355 --> 00:32:09,814
- What an outrageous insinuation!
- Don't forget it!
325

- Paul!
- What?
326
00:32:12,272 --> 00:32:15,230
Excuse my friend, he's had too much to drink.
327
00:32:18,230 --> 00:32:21,314
But you know he's with the Stasi!
328

No, Paul. I don't know that.

like that who ruined Albert.

Spy, betrayer!
332
00:32:52,439 --> 00:32:55,897
If you don't take a stand, you're not human!
333
00:32:56,064 --> 00:32:59,230
If you ever want to take action, call.
334
00:32:59,397 --> 00:33:02,147
If not, we don't have to meet again.
335
00:33:31,272 --> 00:33:33,897
Your friends don't have much taste.
336
00:33:34,438 --> 00:33:36,022
That's really unfair.
337
00:33:36,272 --> 00:33:40,230
Here! Look at this beautiful backscratcher.
338

That's a salad fork!
339
00:33:43,730 --> 00:33:46,438
Still, it's beautiful... And look at this.
340
00:33:48,022 --> 00:33:51,813
I'll write my new play with this.
341

I do in some things.
343
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:18,313
- It's from Jerska.
- So he did give you a book!
344
00:34:21,980 --> 00:34:25,313
"Sonata for a Good Man"
345
00:34:49,063 --> 00:34:53,230"'Lazlo' and CMS unwrap presents,
346
00:34:53,355 --> 00:34:57,147
then presumably have intercourse."
347
00:35:00,438 --> 00:35:02,313
You're late.
34800:35:02,813 --> 00:35:04,605
Sorry, Captain.
349
00:35:04,688 --> 00:35:07,730
Those red lights made me
lose all of four minutes.
350
00:35:08,230 --> 00:35:09,938
You know how it is.
351
00:35:18,647 --> 00:35:25,147
They're already at it! Unbelievable! These artists!
352
00:35:25,647 --> 00:35:27,230
They're always at it!
353
00:35:27,313 --> 00:35:30,522
That's why I prefer monitoring artists

00:35:33,813 --> 00:35:35,813
See you tomorrow at 11 a.m.
355
00:35:43,522 --> 00:35:47,647
Albert Jerska, operation 'Engerling'.
Systematic as usual, Wiesler.
356
00:35:47,730 --> 00:35:50,605
The files will be sent. Let's have lunch.
357
00:36:01,647 --> 00:36:05,980The BSG Volleyball team will meet at 7 p.m.
358
00:36:07,147 --> 00:36:09,355
Did you forget? Bosses sit over there.
359
00:36:10,063 --> 00:36:13,105
Socialism must start somewhere.
36000:36:18,855 --> 00:36:20,730
About the license plate of the car
361
00:36:20,813 --> 00:36:24,563
that brought Ms. Sieland home...
362
00:36:26,355 --> 00:36:29,272
It's Minister Hempf's car.
363
00:36:32,272 --> 00:36:33,313
Wiesler,
364
00:36:34,105 --> 00:36:38,522
we can't monitor top officials.
I removed the entry in your report.
365
00:36:38,688 --> 00:36:41,647
Nothing written from now on,
7/27/2019 The Lives of Others Subtitles
31/102
366
00:36:41,688 --> 00:36:43,897
just oral!
36700:36:45,855 --> 00:36:50,397
So we're helping a Committee member
get a rival out of the way.
368
00:36:52,355 --> 00:36:54,397
You know what this could mean
369
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:58,105
for my career. And for yours.
370
00:36:59,188 --> 00:37:01,771
If we find something...
371
00:37:06,771 --> 00:37:08,563
Is that why we joined?
372
00:37:09,896 --> 00:37:11,813You remember the oath we took?
373
00:37:11,938 --> 00:37:14,396
"We are the Party's shield and sword."
374
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:16,938
What is the Party, if not its members?
375
00:37:17,438 --> 00:37:20,480
And if those members
are highly influential, all the better!
376
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:23,063
I've got a new one.
377
00:37:23,771 --> 00:37:27,271
Honecker comes into his office,
7/27/2019 The Lives of Others Subtitles
32/102
378
00:37:27,521 --> 00:37:30,396
opens the window, sees the sun, and says...
379
00:37:31,771 --> 00:37:33,563What's wrong?
380
00:37:37,605 --> 00:37:40,896
Oh, excuse me... I just...
381
00:37:40,980 --> 00:37:43,105
No, carry on, colleague!
38200:37:43,521 --> 00:37:47,730
No harm in laughing about
the Party Chairman, is there.
383
00:37:48,521 --> 00:37:50,230
I probably know the joke anyway.
384
00:37:53,521 --> 00:37:54,938
Come on, tell us!
385
00:37:57,730 --> 00:38:01,855
Well... Honecker...
386
00:38:02,730 --> 00:38:04,688
I mean, the Comrade General Secretary
sees the sun and says,
387
00:38:04,771 --> 00:38:07,771
- "Good morning, dear sun!"
- More like, "Good morning, dear sun!"
388
00:38:12,438 --> 00:38:16,521
The sun replies, "Good morning, dear Erich!"
389
00:38:16,605 --> 00:38:20,063
And at noon, Erich goes to the window and says,
7/27/2019 The Lives of Others Subtitles
33/102
390
00:38:20,146 --> 00:38:21,688
"Good day, dear sun!"
391
00:38:21,730 --> 00:38:24,105The sun replies, "Good day, dear Erich!"
392
00:38:24,146 --> 00:38:27,563
In the evening, Erich says again,
393
00:38:27,605 --> 00:38:28,896
"Good evening, dear sun!"
39400:38:28,980 --> 00:38:30,646
and the sun doesn't reply.
395
00:38:31,271 --> 00:38:32,188
"Good evening, dear sun..."
396
00:38:32,271 --> 00:38:35,188
"What's wrong?" he asks.
397
00:38:35,313 --> 00:38:36,480
And the sun replies,
398
00:38:36,563 --> 00:38:38,771
"Screw you, I'm in the West now!"
399
00:38:45,396 --> 00:38:46,646
Name?
400
00:38:47,396 --> 00:38:49,021
Rank? Department?
401
00:38:50,730 --> 00:38:52,146
Me?
402
00:38:54,355 --> 00:38:55,855
Stigler.
7/27/2019 The Lives of Others Subtitles
34/102
403
00:38:56,396 --> 00:38:59,521
2nd Lieutenant Axel Stigler. Dept. M.
40400:38:59,980 --> 00:39:02,230
I don't have to tell you
405
00:39:02,313 --> 00:39:04,563
what this means for your career.
406
00:39:06,896 --> 00:39:11,480
Please, Comrade Lieutenant Colonel,
I was just...
407
00:39:11,605 --> 00:39:15,688
You were just deriding the Party!
That's incitement,
408
00:39:16,105 --> 00:39:18,188
and likely just the tip of the iceberg!
40900:39:18,938 --> 00:39:21,688
I will report this to the Minister's office.
410
00:39:33,563 --> 00:39:36,688
Just kidding! Good one, huh?
411
00:39:36,980 --> 00:39:40,480
But yours was good too.
I know a better one though.
412
00:39:40,938 --> 00:39:44,230
What's the difference between Honecker and a phone?
413
00:39:45,188 --> 00:39:46,355
None at all.
414
00:39:46,521 --> 00:39:48,855
Hang up, try again!
7/27/2019 The Lives of Others Subtitles
35/102
415
00:40:31,729 --> 00:40:34,813
- No, I have to get home.
- Bye.
416
00:40:43,146 --> 00:40:43,979
Cold?
417
00:40:47,188 --> 00:40:50,771
Christa, you forgot our meeting on Thursday.
418
00:40:51,938 --> 00:40:54,938
Or did your poet have two birthdays in a row?
419
00:40:57,729 --> 00:40:58,729
Come on, get in.
420
00:40:59,979 --> 00:41:00,813
Get in!
421
00:41:13,604 --> 00:41:15,896You don't know what's good for you.
422
00:41:30,896 --> 00:41:32,313
Don't worry.
423
00:41:34,021 --> 00:41:36,104
I'm looking after you.
424
00:41:50,979 --> 00:41:53,396
Tell me you don't need it too.
425
00:41:54,479 --> 00:41:56,521
Just say so, and I'll let you go.
426
00:42:07,646 --> 00:42:09,271
I'm meeting someone.
427
7/27/2019 The Lives of Others Subtitles
36/102
00:42:12,146 --> 00:42:13,896
Where do you think we're going?
428
00:42:15,854 --> 00:42:20,771
I'm taking you to him!You'll be there even quicker.
429
00:43:16,146 --> 00:43:18,146
Time for some bitter truths.
430
00:43:35,188 --> 00:43:36,021
Yes?
43100:43:45,896 --> 00:43:47,354
Those idiots!
432
00:44:10,062 --> 00:44:12,729
Next Thursday at the Metropol.
433
00:44:14,396 --> 00:44:15,521
Drive!
434
00:46:35,562 --> 00:46:36,812
Christa?
435
00:46:38,937 --> 00:46:40,812
Just hold me.
436
00:47:11,812 --> 00:47:13,521
Good evening, comrade!
437
00:47:15,396 --> 00:47:18,104
You're 5 minutes late again.
438
00:48:01,645 --> 00:48:04,687
Evening. 11th floor, right corridor.
439
00:48:04,895 --> 00:48:07,020
I'm already up here.
7/27/2019 The Lives of Others Subtitles
37/102
440
00:48:11,645 --> 00:48:14,145
How did you get into the building?
44100:48:14,562 --> 00:48:16,895
A bunch of you guys live here.
442
00:48:18,937 --> 00:48:21,145
I don't think I've been here before.
443
00:48:21,687 --> 00:48:23,270
No, I don't think you have.
444
00:48:36,645 --> 00:48:39,562
Well? Was that nice?
445
00:48:48,062 --> 00:48:51,354
- Stay awhile.
- I can't,
446
00:48:51,854 --> 00:48:53,895my next customer is at half-past.
447
00:48:55,854 --> 00:48:57,729
I work on a schedule.
448
00:49:04,020 --> 00:49:07,645
At one-thirty?
You won't make it.
449
00:49:07,937 --> 00:49:11,312
Sure I will. Don't you worry.
450
00:49:13,104 --> 00:49:15,437
Book me for longer next time.
451
00:49:16,520 --> 00:49:17,145
Bye.
7/27/2019 The Lives of Others Subtitles
38/102
452
00:50:23,562 --> 00:50:27,479
Georg? Did you hear about Hauser?
453
00:50:28,395 --> 00:50:29,520No, what happened?
454
00:50:29,812 --> 00:50:31,812
He can't get a travel permit
455
00:50:31,854 --> 00:50:33,395
for his lectures in the West.
45600:50:35,895 --> 00:50:37,354
Are you surprised?
457
00:50:38,020 --> 00:50:40,895
If he acts so arrogantly,
he should expect it.
458
00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:45,437
Would you let him go,if you were in their position?
459
00:50:50,020 --> 00:51:00,270
"CMS comes home. 'Lazlo' approves of
Hauser's foreign travel ban."
460
00:51:07,312 --> 00:51:09,687
Have you seen my Brecht book?
461
00:51:09,770 --> 00:51:11,437
- What?
- My Brecht book.
462
00:51:13,145 --> 00:51:14,312
I don't know where it is.
463
00:51:16,312 --> 00:51:18,853
Strange. I could've sworn...
7/27/2019 The Lives of Others Subtitles
39/102
464
00:51:19,937 --> 00:51:25,270
One day in blue-moon September,
silent under a plum tree,
465
00:51:25,687 --> 00:51:29,020
I held her, my silent pale love,
in my arms like a fair
466
00:51:29,103 --> 00:51:31,562
and lovely dream.
467
00:51:32,395 --> 00:51:34,770Above us in the summer skies
468
00:51:34,895 --> 00:51:37,437
was a cloud that caught my eye.
469
00:51:37,770 --> 00:51:41,520
It was white and so high up.
47000:51:41,645 --> 00:51:45,187
And when I looked up,
it was no longer there.
471
00:52:05,853 --> 00:52:08,395
- Yes?
- Georg? Wallner here.
472
00:52:08,812 --> 00:52:09,687
What's up?
473
00:52:11,478 --> 00:52:13,228
Georg, it's about Jerska.
474
00:52:14,020 --> 00:52:16,812
He hanged himself last night.
475
00:52:24,603 --> 00:52:26,062

40/102
Georg?
476
00:52:28,395 --> 00:52:30,270
I'm going to hang up, okay?
477
00:53:01,478 --> 00:53:04,312
"Sonata for a Good Man"
478
00:54:18,520 --> 00:54:22,603
You know what Lenin said
about Beethoven's 'Appassionata'.
479
00:54:25,187 --> 00:54:26,520"If I keep listening to it,
480
00:54:26,561 --> 00:54:29,061
I won't finish the revolution."
481
00:54:33,603 --> 00:54:36,395
Can anyone who has heard this music,
48200:54:37,311 --> 00:54:38,811
I mean truly heard it,
483
00:54:39,978 --> 00:54:42,603
really be a bad person?
484
00:55:16,228 --> 00:55:18,270
Are you really with the Stasi?
485
00:55:23,936 --> 00:55:26,978
Do you even know what the Stasi is?
486
00:55:27,061 --> 00:55:32,603
Yes. They're bad men
who put people in prison, says my dad.
487
00:55:33,728 --> 00:55:34,728
I see.

My what?
490
00:55:44,311 --> 00:55:46,603
Ball! What's the name of your ball?
491
00:55:46,853 --> 00:55:50,270
You're funny! Balls don't have names.
492
00:55:56,895 --> 00:55:58,895
It's all in place, Minister.
493
00:55:59,228 --> 00:56:01,061
The latest technology.
494
00:56:01,895 --> 00:56:04,353
Behind every light switch, even in the toilet.
495
00:56:04,478 --> 00:56:07,770
- Measure C in the hall...
- You said you'd find something!
496
00:56:07,936 --> 00:56:08,936
Find something!
497
00:56:10,520 --> 00:56:13,686
I'd advise even my worst enemy
not to disappoint me.
498
00:56:17,478 --> 00:56:18,811
Now get out of here!
499
00:56:27,936 --> 00:56:29,853
Nowack, you're to watch Christa-Maria.

You'll report on every minute
that she's not with me.
50100:56:35,686 --> 00:56:39,603
We revoked Hauser's travel permit
for the culture conference.
502
00:56:39,686 --> 00:56:43,978
Maybe that'll lead to something.
The two of them are very close.
503
00:56:45,603 --> 00:56:48,436How's it going between CMS and the Minister?
504
00:56:48,603 --> 00:56:52,020
They're meeting tomorrow night, I think.
505
00:56:52,228 --> 00:56:56,270
That's good! Very good!
We have a lot to gain from this love story.
506
00:56:57,686 --> 00:56:59,311
Or a lot to lose.
507
00:57:00,145 --> 00:57:01,145
Don't forget that.
508
00:57:14,145 --> 00:57:16,811
I used to be afraid of just two things:
509
00:57:17,811 --> 00:57:20,436
Being alone, and not being able to write.
510
00:57:22,645 --> 00:57:24,728
Since Albert's death,
I don't care about writing
511
00:57:25,520 --> 00:57:27,020
7/27/2019 The Lives of Others Subtitles
43/102
or about other people.
512
00:57:28,936 --> 00:57:31,270
All I'm afraid of now is losing you.
513
00:57:32,936 --> 00:57:35,395
You needn't be afraid tonight.
514
00:57:37,228 --> 00:57:39,186
I'm just going out for a few hours.
515
00:57:39,353 --> 00:57:40,770
Where to?
516
00:57:41,478 --> 00:57:44,270
An old classmate's in town.
517
00:57:45,186 --> 00:57:46,436
Really, Christa?
518
00:57:49,103 --> 00:57:52,645- Really?
- How dare you!
519
00:57:55,978 --> 00:57:57,436
I know.
520
00:57:59,728 --> 00:58:01,728
I know where you're going.
521
00:58:04,728 --> 00:58:06,644
And I'm asking you not to go.
522
00:58:08,144 --> 00:58:09,978
You don't need him.
523
00:58:10,936 --> 00:58:12,061
You don't need him.

00:58:25,644 --> 00:58:28,394And how little faith you have in your talent.
526
00:58:29,853 --> 00:58:31,519
Have faith in me, at least.
527
00:58:34,228 --> 00:58:35,894
Christa-Maria.
52800:58:36,978 --> 00:58:39,019
You are a great artist.
529
00:58:41,478 --> 00:58:45,394
I know that.
And your audience knows it too.
530
00:58:46,978 --> 00:58:48,644
You don't need him.
531
00:58:51,019 --> 00:58:52,603
You don't need him.
532
00:58:53,353 --> 00:58:54,686
Stay here.
533
00:58:56,103 --> 00:58:57,561
Don't go to him.
534
00:59:01,353 --> 00:59:08,603
No? Don't I need him?
Don't I need this whole system?
535
00:59:12,353 --> 00:59:13,936
What about you?

Then you don't need it either.
Or need it even less.
537
00:59:19,769 --> 00:59:22,103But you get in bed with them too.
538
00:59:22,186 --> 00:59:24,061
Why do you do it?
539
00:59:24,394 --> 00:59:26,519
Because they can destroy you too,
54000:59:26,644 --> 00:59:29,644
despite your talent and your faith.
541
00:59:32,394 --> 00:59:36,269
Because they decide what we play,
who is to act,
542
00:59:36,311 --> 00:59:38,561
and who can direct.
543
00:59:41,936 --> 00:59:44,186
You don't want to end up like Jerska.
544
00:59:44,978 --> 00:59:46,728
And neither do I.
545
00:59:47,728 --> 00:59:49,769
That's why I'm going now.
546
00:59:50,936 --> 00:59:56,311
You're right about so many things,
and I want to change so much.

Well, boss, am I on time?
550
01:00:07,936 --> 01:00:10,478
Let me guess what those two are doing...
551
01:00:13,353 --> 01:00:14,894
Come on, I'll take over.
552
01:00:14,936 --> 01:00:17,894I don't want you
to do overtime because of me.

To meet an old classmate.
556
01:00:42,144 --> 01:00:44,228
You'll have my detailed report tomorrow.
557
01:00:44,478 --> 01:00:45,936
I can manage.
558
01:00:49,811 --> 01:00:51,519
Good night.
559
01:01:44,602 --> 01:01:46,436
What are you staring at?

Soda water.

Another one.

Can I have a cognac, please?

01:03:23,977 --> 01:03:25,144
Madam?

01:03:25,936 --> 01:03:28,519
Go away, I want to be alone.

Ms. Sieland.

Do we know each other?

You don't know me, but I know you.

for who you are.

You were more who you are...
575

than you are now.
576
01:04:16,144 --> 01:04:17,852
So you know what I'm like.
577
01:04:18,227 --> 01:04:20,061I'm your audience.

Just now you weren't being yourself.

No?

No.

585
7/27/2019 The Lives of Others Subtitles
49/102
01:05:05,310 --> 01:05:08,977
Would she hurt someone
who loves her above all else?
586
01:05:13,144 --> 01:05:16,019Would she sell herself for art?
587
01:05:16,310 --> 01:05:18,144
For art?
588
01:05:18,269 --> 01:05:22,060
You already have art.
That'd be a bad deal.
589
01:05:23,144 --> 01:05:25,352
You are a great artist.
590
01:05:27,019 --> 01:05:28,185

01:06:20,019 --> 01:06:23,894
Eventually, she leaves.
'Lazlo' seems unhappy about this.
595
01:06:26,102 --> 01:06:30,102
But after about 20 minutes, CMS returns,

She says she'll never leave again.
599
01:06:44,727 --> 01:06:50,060
He says repeatedly: 'Now I'll have the strength,
now I'll do something.'
600
01:06:50,310 --> 01:06:54,519
This likely refers to writing a new stage play.
601
01:06:54,810 --> 01:06:59,935
In recent weeks, 'Lazlo's' playwriting
had been plagued by difficulties.
602
01:07:00,227 --> 01:07:02,852
What she means by her statement is unclear.

Perhaps she intends to
take better care of his household.

counts everything, knows everything.

How many shoes I buy a year: 2.3.

How many books I read a year: 3.2.

with straight A's every year: 6347.

But there is one thing they don't count,
617
01:08:22,810 --> 01:08:26,435
maybe because even bureaucrats find it painful,
618
01:08:26,685 --> 01:08:28,310
and that's suicides.

who ensure safety in our land... and happiness.

In 1977, our country
stopped counting suicides.

They called them 'self-murderers'.
628
01:08:59,935 --> 01:09:03,018
But it has nothing to do with murder.
629
01:09:03,435 --> 01:09:08,102
It knows no bloodlust,\no heated passion,
630
01:09:08,518 --> 01:09:13,310
it knows only death, the death of all hope.

01:13:13,492 --> 01:13:17,617
We wouldn't want him to suffocate, would we?
697
01:13:34,242 --> 01:13:35,533
Another beer?
698
01:13:40,908 --> 01:13:42,992Border control, Heinrich-Heine Street.
699
01:13:44,950 --> 01:13:46,158
Who is this?
700
01:13:47,200 --> 01:13:48,450
Who is this?
70101:13:50,033 --> 01:13:51,283
No reply.
702
01:13:56,575 --> 01:13:58,325
Just this once, my friend.
703
01:14:22,491 --> 01:14:24,158
- Dreyman.
- Okay,
704
01:14:24,241 --> 01:14:26,533
Paul's plan worked!
705
01:14:26,866 --> 01:14:28,741
No border control at all?
706
01:14:28,783 --> 01:14:31,825
No, no special checks.

707
01:14:31,908 --> 01:14:33,783
Those boys aren't so bad.
70801:14:33,991 --> 01:14:35,866
It worked as planned.
709
01:14:35,866 --> 01:14:38,533
Thanks for doing this, Mr. Hauser.
710
01:14:38,575 --> 01:14:43,366
Forget it, it wasn't all that dangerous.
711
01:14:43,450 --> 01:14:45,450
- Yeah, true.
- Yeah.
712
01:14:45,533 --> 01:14:48,033
See you soon, and thanks a lot.
713
01:14:48,075 --> 01:14:49,075Bye.
714
01:14:58,741 --> 01:15:02,033
What do we do if they ask
what we're doing together?
715
01:15:08,158 --> 01:15:09,866
Then... we'll say
716
01:15:11,783 --> 01:15:15,783
We'll say we're writing a stage play together.
717
01:15:16,950 --> 01:15:19,408
For the GDR's 40th anniversary.
718
01:15:20,116 --> 01:15:21,450
Yes!
7/27/2019 The Lives of Others Subtitles
60/102
719
01:15:21,783 --> 01:15:23,450
And it's kind of true.
720
01:15:27,158 --> 01:15:29,033Who'd have thought our State Security
721
01:15:29,116 --> 01:15:32,158
was so incompetent?
722
01:15:35,575 --> 01:15:39,700
Who'd have thought they were such idiots?
72301:15:43,575 --> 01:15:45,325
Just you wait...
724
01:15:55,075 --> 01:16:08,783
"7.32 p.m. No further noteworthy incidents."
725
01:16:20,075 --> 01:16:23,241
Hello, comrade. Listen to this here!
726
01:16:26,700 --> 01:16:30,158
Sure, in 1967 there were many suicides.
727
01:16:30,325 --> 01:16:32,700
But why in 1977? You must explain.
728
01:16:32,783 --> 01:16:35,533
You must describe
the social conditions more clearly.
729
01:16:37,033 --> 01:16:38,991
It should remain literature,
730
01:16:39,033 --> 01:16:40,741
not political agitation.
731
01:16:40,991 --> 01:16:42,491
7/27/2019 The Lives of Others Subtitles
61/102
The text is great.
732
01:16:42,700 --> 01:16:46,116
I just want to be sure people
understand it in the West.
733
01:16:46,200 --> 01:16:48,325
It'll cause a sensation either way.
734
01:16:49,366 --> 01:16:52,950
- That's Hauser!
- Of course it's Hauser.
73501:16:53,366 --> 01:16:55,616
He's not in the West!
736
01:17:01,825 --> 01:17:03,991
They're writing a play together.
737
01:17:05,950 --> 01:17:08,200
For the 40th anniversary.
738
01:17:08,950 --> 01:17:11,825
It doesn't sound like a play to me.
739
01:17:14,575 --> 01:17:16,283
No? Then what?
740
01:17:17,325 --> 01:17:20,075
I don't know... but not a play.
741
01:17:21,491 --> 01:17:24,241
You think a lot, Sergeant Leye.
742
01:17:24,616 --> 01:17:26,700
You're not an intellectual, are you?
743
01:17:27,033 --> 01:17:29,616
Me? No... I'm not one of those.
7/27/2019 The Lives of Others Subtitles
62/102
744
01:17:29,700 --> 01:17:32,116
Then don't behave like one.
74501:17:33,200 --> 01:17:35,950
I chose you because you know
the equipment
746
01:17:36,033 --> 01:17:38,658
and don't ask questions.
747
01:17:39,658 --> 01:17:41,616
Leave the thinking to your superiors.
748
01:17:41,908 --> 01:17:45,074
Yes, Captain. I'll be off, then.
749
01:17:45,616 --> 01:17:48,491
Have a nice day...
750
01:17:48,616 --> 01:17:51,866of work... I mean, I hope you enjoy your work.
751
01:17:56,866 --> 01:17:58,491
Maybe I can re-write this part.
752
01:18:00,241 --> 01:18:01,449
I'll send you
753
01:18:01,533 --> 01:18:03,241
all the material we have.
754
01:18:03,366 --> 01:18:05,574
Can you do it in two weeks?
755
01:18:06,658 --> 01:18:08,866
Then I could run it as a cover story
756
7/27/2019 The Lives of Others Subtitles
63/102
01:18:09,449 --> 01:18:11,158
for the first week in March.
757
01:18:13,699 --> 01:18:14,824
It's Christa.
758
01:18:16,616 --> 01:18:17,658
Georg?
759
01:18:19,699 --> 01:18:22,783
Christa, this is Gregor Hessenstein.
760
01:18:24,074 --> 01:18:26,824- Christa Sieland.
- Of course, I know that!
761
01:18:27,449 --> 01:18:29,283
So, what conspiracy are you cooking up?
762
01:18:30,241 --> 01:18:34,699
Hauser and I are writing a play
for the GDR's 40th anniversary.
763
01:18:34,783 --> 01:18:35,824
Together?
764
01:18:35,908 --> 01:18:39,241
The 'Spiegel' may do an article on it.
765
01:18:39,366 --> 01:18:42,283
- And who'll play the lead role?
- We planned to ask you.
766
01:18:42,366 --> 01:18:44,408
Christa, who would you rather play:
767
01:18:44,449 --> 01:18:46,533
Lenin or his dear old mother?
768
7/27/2019 The Lives of Others Subtitles
64/102
01:18:46,699 --> 01:18:48,408
You can choose.
769
01:18:49,241 --> 01:18:51,366
I see I'm not welcome here.
770
01:18:51,408 --> 01:18:53,324
I'll go for a nap.
771
01:19:01,199 --> 01:19:03,366
Your caution is praiseworthy.
772
01:19:04,324 --> 01:19:06,783The fewer people know, the better.
773
01:19:06,824 --> 01:19:08,491
The Stasi is not to be toyed with.
774
01:19:14,366 --> 01:19:18,158
On that note, I brought something for you.
77501:19:22,324 --> 01:19:25,949
I'd have preferred the whole pie.
I already have a typewriter.
776
01:19:26,033 --> 01:19:29,074
The Stasi can identify its typeface.
777
01:19:29,283 --> 01:19:30,908
If they intercepted the text at the border,
778
01:19:30,991 --> 01:19:32,699
for your typewriter using,
779
01:19:32,741 --> 01:19:34,616
you'd end up in Hohenschonhausen.
780
01:19:34,741 --> 01:19:36,991
And that's no fun,
7/27/2019 The Lives of Others Subtitles
65/102
781
01:19:37,074 --> 01:19:38,866
as Paul can confirm, right?
78201:19:40,574 --> 01:19:43,449
I'm afraid I could only get
a red ink ribbon for this model.
783
01:19:43,533 --> 01:19:47,824
Do you mind writing it in red?
784
01:19:48,158 --> 01:19:49,616
That won't be a problem.
785
01:19:50,699 --> 01:19:53,574
Is there somewhere you can hide it?
786
01:19:54,574 --> 01:19:57,908
- Yes, I'll find a place.
- Don't take it lightly.
78701:19:58,616 --> 01:20:00,616
I don't want my next article to be about
788
01:20:00,658 --> 01:20:03,074
your disappearance!
789
01:20:03,158 --> 01:20:06,116
Nobody may know that this typewriter exists!
790
01:20:08,449 --> 01:20:10,658
Is this apartment really safe?
791
01:20:10,783 --> 01:20:12,199
Yes.
792
01:20:13,866 --> 01:20:15,866
It's the only place left in the GDR
7/27/2019 The Lives of Others Subtitles
66/102
793
01:20:15,908 --> 01:20:17,949
where I can say what I want.
794
01:20:18,824 --> 01:20:21,199Fine, then let's drink to that!
795
01:20:24,116 --> 01:20:26,616
This is the real stuff.
796
01:20:28,033 --> 01:20:32,949
To you! To letting all of Germany
see the true face of the GDR!
797
01:20:40,324 --> 01:20:43,533
Cheers. It's better than the Russian stuff!
798
01:20:44,116 --> 01:20:45,824
To your success!
799
01:21:02,908 --> 01:21:05,283
I must see Comrade Grubitz.
800
01:21:07,866 --> 01:21:12,282
Tomorrow at 2.30 p.m...
801
01:21:13,199 --> 01:21:18,366
Tell him that if he blows the cover,
we'll shut down the entire parish!
802
01:21:18,407 --> 01:21:19,741
It's easy!
803
01:21:20,616 --> 01:21:22,866
He can call the Pope and complain!
804
01:21:23,074 --> 01:21:25,949
Okay, I've spent enough time on this nonsense.
805
7/27/2019 The Lives of Others Subtitles
67/102
01:21:27,282 --> 01:21:28,949
Wiesler, I'm glad you're here.
806
01:21:29,824 --> 01:21:31,407
I have to show you something.
807
01:21:33,074 --> 01:21:38,699
"Prison Conditions for Subversive Artists
Based on Character Profile."
808
01:21:38,907 --> 01:21:40,032
Pretty scientific, eh?
80901:21:41,532 --> 01:21:43,157
And look at this:
810
01:21:44,824 --> 01:21:49,866
"Dissertation supervisor: A. Grubitz."
That's great, isn't it?
811
01:21:52,532 --> 01:21:54,282
I only gave him a B...
812
01:21:54,907 --> 01:21:58,324
They shouldn't think
getting a doctorate with me is easy.
813
01:21:58,449 --> 01:22:00,449
But this is first-class.
814
01:22:00,574 --> 01:22:04,991
Did you know that there are just 5 types of artists?
815
01:22:05,907 --> 01:22:07,574
Your guy, Dreyman,
816
01:22:07,699 --> 01:22:11,324
is a type 4. A "hysterical anthropocentrist."
817
7/27/2019 The Lives of Others Subtitles
68/102
01:22:11,907 --> 01:22:13,324
Can't bear being alone,
818
01:22:13,407 --> 01:22:15,241
always talking, needing friends.
819
01:22:15,282 --> 01:22:17,699
That type should never be brought to trial.
820
01:22:17,782 --> 01:22:19,449
They thrive on that.
821
01:22:20,282 --> 01:22:22,949Temporary detention is the best way
822
01:22:23,032 --> 01:22:24,782
to deal with them.
823
01:22:24,824 --> 01:22:27,657
Complete isolation and no set release date.
82401:22:27,657 --> 01:22:29,616
No human contact the whole time,
825
01:22:29,699 --> 01:22:31,324
not even with the guards.
826
01:22:31,699 --> 01:22:33,532
Good treatment,
827
01:22:33,616 --> 01:22:36,116
no harassment, no abuse, no scandals...
828
01:22:36,199 --> 01:22:38,574
nothing they could write about later.
829
01:22:39,741 --> 01:22:42,699
After 10 months, we release.
7/27/2019 The Lives of Others Subtitles
69/102
830
01:22:43,449 --> 01:22:44,657
Suddenly.
831
01:22:45,324 --> 01:22:47,032That guy won't cause us any more trouble.
832
01:22:47,157 --> 01:22:48,699
Know what the best part is?
833
01:22:48,824 --> 01:22:52,366
Most type 4s we've processed in this way
83401:22:53,199 --> 01:22:56,116
never write anything again! Or paint anything,
835
01:22:56,157 --> 01:22:58,782
or whatever artists do...
836
01:22:59,324 --> 01:23:02,616
And that without any use of force...
837
01:23:03,199 --> 01:23:04,616
Just like that! Kind of...
838
01:23:05,407 --> 01:23:06,741
like a present.
839
01:23:08,366 --> 01:23:11,449
What brings you here?
Developments with Dreyman?
840
01:23:11,991 --> 01:23:14,741
That's why I'm here.
841
01:23:15,657 --> 01:23:17,949
I think the time has come...
842
01:23:18,824 --> 01:23:19,824
7/27/2019 The Lives of Others Subtitles
70/102
For what?
843
01:23:20,699 --> 01:23:23,866
For us to slim down the operation.
844
01:23:25,074 --> 01:23:27,032
I don't want to run day and night shifts
845
01:23:27,116 --> 01:23:30,199
for such an uncertain case.
846
01:23:30,241 --> 01:23:31,741
Uncertain, eh?
847
01:23:32,824 --> 01:23:35,407
You don't think we'll find anything
848
01:23:35,491 --> 01:23:36,616
for the Minister?
849
01:23:36,699 --> 01:23:39,407Maybe if we're more flexible...
850
01:23:39,991 --> 01:23:43,491
If we watch 'Lazlo' outside his own four walls.
851
01:23:47,157 --> 01:23:49,241
Shall I give the case to Udo?
852
01:23:49,532 --> 01:23:52,241
I'd like to continue it myself.
853
01:23:53,532 --> 01:23:54,574
Why?
854
01:23:55,407 --> 01:23:57,324
It could produce results.
855
7/27/2019 The Lives of Others Subtitles
71/102
01:23:58,616 --> 01:24:01,116
I just need to plan more flexibly,
856
01:24:02,116 --> 01:24:06,407
when I come and go, days and nights...
857
01:24:07,074 --> 01:24:09,407
Maybe he's up to something outside.
858
01:24:13,991 --> 01:24:16,366
Something doesn't feel right here.
859
01:24:19,782 --> 01:24:21,574There's something you're hiding.
860
01:24:30,116 --> 01:24:32,616
Alright, I'll take Udo off the case.
861
01:24:33,616 --> 01:24:36,324
I can use him for this church case.
86201:24:37,032 --> 01:24:38,991
Give me a request in writing.
863
01:24:39,282 --> 01:24:41,782
Write as a reason:"Lack of suspicious acts."
864
01:24:47,032 --> 01:24:48,907
And, Wiesler!
865
01:24:51,782 --> 01:24:52,740
A piece of advice for you:
866
01:24:53,824 --> 01:24:55,199
We're not at school anymore.
867
01:24:55,699 --> 01:24:57,532
Projects aren't about grades,

but success.

01:25:15,990 --> 01:25:18,865"The state statistics office
870
01:25:18,907 --> 01:25:21,157
counts everything, knows everything.

How many books I read a year: 3.2.

We're not writing a play, Christa.

01:27:48,032 --> 01:27:49,324
You don't have to tell me.
878
01:27:50,115 --> 01:27:52,699
But I want to. It's a text...
879
01:27:52,782 --> 01:27:54,699
Don't tell me.

01:27:55,824 --> 01:27:58,865
Maybe I am as unreliable as your friends say.
881
01:28:01,282 --> 01:28:03,074
But I... I'm with you now...
882
01:28:04,282 --> 01:28:06,115
No matter what.
883
01:28:41,490 --> 01:28:45,240
Minister Riesenhuber, author of the report,
884
01:28:45,282 --> 01:28:49,782said there is no quick fix
for saving damaged forests.

01:28:50,448 --> 01:28:52,698
East-West German relations under strain.
886
01:28:53,282 --> 01:28:56,198
'Spiegel' magazine today published
887
01:28:56,240 --> 01:28:58,740
a text by an unnamed East German author
888
01:28:58,782 --> 01:29:03,157
about suicide in the German Democratic Republic.
889
01:29:03,990 --> 01:29:07,573
This follows a series of suicides by prominent
890
01:29:07,698 --> 01:29:10,615
East-Berlin artists, the latest being Albert Jerska.
891
01:29:11,157 --> 01:29:14,282
After being blacklisted for 7 years,
892
01:29:14,365 --> 01:29:17,282
Jerska committed suicide on January 5th.

893
01:29:17,407 --> 01:29:22,323
In 1977, the GDR ceased publishing
any data relating to suicides.
894
01:29:22,532 --> 01:29:26,323
That year, Hungary was the only country
in Europe with a higher suicide rate.
895
01:29:27,657 --> 01:29:29,282
Yes, Sir...
896
01:29:31,240 --> 01:29:32,490But we...
897
01:29:33,823 --> 01:29:36,407
General, our man at the 'Spiegel'
898
01:29:36,490 --> 01:29:38,990
got us a photostat of the original.
89901:29:39,282 --> 01:29:41,948
Congratulations! So who wrote it?
900
01:29:42,032 --> 01:29:45,032
He doesn't know, but using the typeface, we'll...
901
01:29:45,157 --> 01:29:47,573
You're hopeless! Get me names!
902
01:29:47,907 --> 01:29:50,532
I will, as soon as we get the results.
903
01:29:50,532 --> 01:29:52,823
If not, you'll be put against the wall.
904
01:30:00,282 --> 01:30:02,323
Andrea, where's the graphologist?
7/27/2019 The Lives of Others Subtitles
75/102
905
01:30:02,865 --> 01:30:06,782
Thus I conclude that it is a domestic
typewriter produced for export,
90601:30:06,823 --> 01:30:09,490
most likely a 'Kolibri' travel model,
907
01:30:09,615 --> 01:30:13,782
made by the VEB Groma.
908
01:30:13,782 --> 01:30:16,448
If the ink were black, I could be more precise.
909
01:30:18,573 --> 01:30:19,782
Who owns such a typewriter?
910
01:30:20,115 --> 01:30:22,323
There are none registered in the GDR.
911
01:30:22,782 --> 01:30:25,323
What does that mean?What does Hauser use?
912
01:30:25,407 --> 01:30:29,698
Paul Hauser uses a 'Valentino' typewriter,
made by Olivetti.
913
01:30:29,948 --> 01:30:34,282
- That model has a more horizontal...
- Yes, yes! And Wallner?
914
01:30:36,323 --> 01:30:38,740
He writes on an Optima 'Elite'.
915
01:30:40,740 --> 01:30:42,073
Georg Dreyman?
916
01:30:42,115 --> 01:30:44,740
He writes his first drafts by hand,
7/27/2019 The Lives of Others Subtitles
76/102
917
01:30:44,823 --> 01:30:47,823
then types them up
on a Wanderer 'Torpedo'.
918
01:30:47,865 --> 01:30:49,532
He's never used anything else.
919
01:30:52,823 --> 01:30:56,073
How big is this 'Kolibri' typewriter?
920
01:30:56,115 --> 01:30:59,240
It's one of the smallest available:
921
01:30:59,365 --> 01:31:03,323
19.5cm x 99cm x 19.55cm.
922
01:31:04,782 --> 01:31:06,865
So it's as easy to smuggle as a book.
923
01:31:10,157 --> 01:31:11,948Thank you. You may go.
924
01:31:16,282 --> 01:31:17,448
Goodbye, comrade.

Andrea, put me through to Wiesler.

"4 p.m. The group is exhausted
from so much writing."
928
01:31:56,073 --> 01:31:58,948
- Yes?
- Have you heard about this article?
7/27/2019 The Lives of Others Subtitles
77/102
929
01:31:59,573 --> 01:32:02,448
- In the 'Spiegel'? Yes.
- How so?
930
01:32:03,990 --> 01:32:06,948
Hauser called Dreyman
and told him about it.
931
01:32:08,073 --> 01:32:12,323
Wiesler, this is very important.
Both for my career and for yours.
93201:32:13,365 --> 01:32:17,865
Did he mention who may be behind it?
Or do you have any ideas?
933
01:32:18,865 --> 01:32:22,865
I don't think he mentioned anything.
No... nothing at all.
934
01:32:25,573 --> 01:32:31,365A 'Spiegel' editor crossed the border
using a false name on the 27th,
935
01:32:31,531 --> 01:32:34,448
and spent four hours here.
936
01:32:34,531 --> 01:32:38,198
Dept. VI followed him to Prenzlauer Berg,
then lost his trail.
937
01:32:39,031 --> 01:32:41,323
Did he have contact with Dreyman?
938
01:32:42,365 --> 01:32:45,740
- Wouldn't I have noted it in the report?
- Yes, of course.

But I smell a writer behind this text.
940
01:32:49,406 --> 01:32:51,490
I'd be astonished if I'm wrong.
941
01:32:52,198 --> 01:32:54,115
So keep your ears open!
942
01:33:01,198 --> 01:33:02,490
Shit!
943
01:33:18,990 --> 01:33:20,448
Get in.
944
01:33:34,698 --> 01:33:39,115
If one of your staff deceives you,
you punish him, right?
945
01:33:39,198 --> 01:33:40,906
Sure, sure!
94601:33:41,281 --> 01:33:44,656
Even a woman? Right?
947
01:33:44,865 --> 01:33:46,031
But of course!
948
01:33:47,781 --> 01:33:52,365
Isn't everyone who serves a great man
part of his staff?
949
01:33:53,073 --> 01:33:54,240
You could see it like that...
950
01:33:55,781 --> 01:33:57,573
Indeed, you'd have to see it like that.

01:33:59,990 --> 01:34:05,115
This is where she gets her illegal medication.

Christa-Maria Sieland.

You should know this, it's your department.
953

It's up to you whether you ruin her or not,
954
01:34:15,698 --> 01:34:19,156
but I never want to see her
on a German stage again.
955
01:34:22,990 --> 01:34:24,740Now get out.
956
01:34:31,448 --> 01:34:32,698
Shut the door!

Ms. Sieland? Please follow us.
We have some questions.

01:35:02,531 --> 01:35:03,365
So...
960
01:35:05,406 --> 01:35:08,489
Comrade Sieland, a beautiful career you had, hm?
961
01:35:10,781 --> 01:35:12,656
A pity really. You were good.
962
01:35:13,573 --> 01:35:14,948
You were very good indeed.
963
01:35:16,614 --> 01:35:18,656
Just too short-lived.

What do actors do when they can't act anymore?
966
01:35:36,739 --> 01:35:39,073
Please...
967
01:35:40,406 --> 01:35:43,864
Isn't there anything I can do for you?
968
01:35:45,323 --> 01:35:50,906
- For... State Security?
- It's a little late for that.
969
01:35:52,531 --> 01:35:54,739
I know nearly all our artists.
970
01:35:54,781 --> 01:35:56,614I could find out a lot.
971
01:35:56,698 --> 01:36:00,114
I believe you.
But it wo
