Comrade Godeanu!
Mr. Godeanu!
COMRADE GODEANU MISSING
Long live Comrades
Nicolae and Elena Ceaușescu!
We have an urgent telegram
from Germany.
Victor Godeanu is missing.
What?
Missing how?
The earth can't have swallowed him!
He's vanished.
How the hell did he do it? When?
We can't find him since this morning.
The Russians must have extracted him.
Investigate.
I will.
Mum, will you get that?
Of course, you won't.
-Hello.
-Felix, hi.
Comrade Godeanu,
I have to tell you something.
Come in.
-What is it?
-Victor's gone missing.
-How?
-He's missing. They can't find him.
Maybe he's drunk
in some woman's bed.
Mum!
They searched everywhere.
Maybe it was something urgent
and he was in a big hurry.
You look tired. You should rest.
-Better?
-A lot better.
I'll rest on the weekend.
Tonight I have to work on
the negotiations with the Romanians.
Max, go play, you've had enough.
-He hasn't finished.
-It's enough.
Whatever you say.
We should take a long holiday,
just the two of us.
-After Max's school trip.
-Let's talk about it afterwards.
It would be good for us all.
We have to spend more time together,
as a family.
Klaus can't have you all for himself.
-Let's talk about it later.
-"Later"! Is that all you can say?
All good?
Should I bring a big glass
of whiskey?
Yes. Thank you, Safiya.
-Achmed! Play nice, you hear?
-I am, Mum!
Good.
-Love, give me the shopping.
-If you came to help, it's too late.
-Give it here. What's that?
-Stop that.
Nasir must have put it in by mistake.
I have to go return it.
-No, it's for me.
-Let me go return it!
-No need.
-We're not thieves.
No, it's a gift.
-Nasir didn't mention any gift.
-He must've forgotten.
Oh, really?
At least use it to clean up!
-All good?
-Of course. Just cleaning up a bit.
I forgot to tell you,
your brother is coming to visit.
Where's your head at, Sorin?
Never tell more than
what is absolutely necessary.
Make yourself useful,
get me von Weizendorff's file.
Ms. von Weizendorff.
He is Commissioner Steinbruch.
He'd like to ask you a few questions
about Mr. Godeanu.
-Hello.
-Hello.
He appears to have gone missing.
-Victor is missing? Do you know more?
-We know nothing.
Will you take a seat?
-A glass of water?
-No.
Ms. von Weizendorff,
how well do you know Godeanu?
Only professionally.
We met to discuss a program
between our respective governments.
Have you met Godeanu
anywhere other than the Ministry?
No.
Not in his hotel room?
-I've just answered your question.
-Have you?
I believe we are done here.
Here is my number.
In case the story changes.
-Thank you.
-Thank you.
My car needs an oil change.
It's urgent. Today, 3 p.m.
Thank you.
What is so urgent?
Godeanu's gone missing.
The police came asking questions.
Do you know what happened to him?
-No.
-Good.
Next time they come, stay calm.
And don't lie.
Just tell them what you know
about him.
I slept with him at his hotel.
I told you to convince him.
Not to screw him!
If this goes wrong, I'm out.
We've invested a whole lot in you.
You stay in. Have a nice day.
a Romanian diplomat
has been missing since last night.
Victor Godeanu,
here on official business,
was not in his hotel room
this morning.
The search continues,
but so far the police have no leads.
Godeanu is a high-ranking general
in Ceaușescu's Communist regime,
and a valued member
of the President's inner circle.
He was in Bonn for high-level talks
with the Ministry of the Interior.
Since they're looking for me.
Let them find me.
We interrupt your regular program
with breaking news
on the missing Romanian diplomat.
German police have been seen
on the banks of the Rhine
where they cordoned off
a large search area.
Now we learn more
about the object of their search.
Shocking news has come to light
about the missing Romanian diplomat.
It appears some of his belongings
might have been found in the Rhine.
We have no details yet,
and the police refuse to comment.
Stop! Stop!
Commissioner.
The German police are less
cooperative than we would like.
The last reports suggest
a kidnapping.
The photo may have been
a first attempt
to stain Comrade Godeanu's name.
Now, with this escalation,
the enemy wants to destabilize
our regime.
They left me
without my right-hand man.
Curse those bastards!
They want to weaken you.
But you know, and you won't let them.
Whoever did this to Victor
I'll skin them alive.
I'm sorry
I gave him those pearls back.
They were ugly,
but I could have asked.
Maybe he had something in mind.
Comrade Nicolae Ceaușescu,
an urgent phone call.
Hello.
All right.
They found his passport
on the bank of the Rhine.
What's that supposed to mean?
He's dead?
He's not dead to me.
Not until I see his body.
Hello?
What?
-What happened?
-They're saying he might be dead.
But I can feel he's alive.
In the Godeanu case,
the police have broken off
their hours-long search of the Rhine
for the day.
The high-level talks
continue at Camp David,
after a first week of negotiations
with close to no results.
Egyptian President Sadat
apparently met President Carter.
-Thank you.
-Mother misses you.
I miss her too.
-How's work going?
-Good.
Is that Ingrid treating you well?
She treats me very well.
I like my job very much.
I have to make a quick call.
I won't be long.
You said the business was with Karim,
not Jabare.
Jabare's joined us,
he has connections in Egypt.
I know my brother, he's trouble.
-Your problem is you don't trust me.
-It's him I don't trust.
I know him better than you.
-Thank you for letting me stay.
-Of course.
I won't be in your hair too long.
Max! What have we said?
No playing with your food!
Finish your toast
or you'll be hungry at school.
-You should eat something too.
-I'll eat later.
Sit tight, I'll go.
Do as your mother told you.
Hello, Ms. von Weizendorff.
May I come in?
-Of course.
-Thank you.
Wait here, please.
Gustav. Could you please take Max
to school? I have a visitor.
Fine.
-Hey, Max! Max! I'm being serious!
-Who is it?
An old friend.
She has a problem and needs my help.
You're always helping others.
Let's go, Max!
-Get your car.
-Here it is. Have fun at school!
-Hello.
-Hello.
-Hello.
-He defected to The Americans.
Impossible.
Carmen, you can't just say that.
-You have to be sure.
-I know.
I trust the source,
and if this is confirmed
What a mess!
Something like this is unheard of.
Do we stick to arresting him
or can I kill him?
I'll get back to you.
All right, thank you.
I got a tip from an old lady.
She says a man in her building
matches Godeanu's description!
You three, with me.
Call the Chief Commissioner.
Comrade Godeanu!
Mr. Godeanu!
