Babylon Berlin (2017) s04e06 Episode Script

Speed up, ladies at the back.
Are you stupid?
Yes, I mean you!
It's always the same with you.
I told you not to make it so full.
Can you hear me?
Stop it now.
- Get back.
- Yes, it's good.
Fill the cart again.
It goes faster that way!
It's full. Ready to go.
Come on! Depart!
No sleeping at the back!
Everyone back to work!
Comrade Kulanin,
you still drive like a barbarian.
I am a barbarian.
- Thank you.
- You would've done the same.
For each of us.
The hut is not forever. We're looking
for a hideout for you in the city.
You have to get something
for me, Oscar.
- What?
- A weapon.
Any specific weapon?
A hunting rifle,
minimum 6.5 caliber.
- Do you want to shoot deer?
- Something like that.
What?
Enough!
Come on, Kneipper. One more.
It's over, boy.
Last round, guys!
I've got it in the bag.
Today's my lucky day.
The very last, got it?
To the widows!
- I have to pee.
- Then do it.
I have to go my folks.
Is that all we get?
What a load of shit.
What's that?
Crap.
There wasn't anything.
We have to go.
Put something else on.
Shall we meet here at 7 o'clock?
- Here?
- It's easiest.
Please ask Rudi
why he hasn't come back.
I will.
Alright, boy.
I hope it's clear to you that we
have to take you into custody.
You say you acted in self-defence.
What about the statement
by your comrade?
Arndt Scheer wanted to
pin the deed on the girl.
Is that so?
Yes.
Did you plan
the false statement together?
- No.
- I'm taking this boy on.
- That will have consequences for him.
- You will not do that.
You are biased in this case.
Follow that up.
Discharge.
Come, my boy.
Rath?
- Thank you, not for me.
Why not?
Gentlemen.
If it does turn out
that Sergeant Naumann
wanted to execute a witness,
that would be a veritable scandal.
According to these document
at least 21 homeless teenagers
during, or immediately after
their arrest.
12 further cases were,
according to the files,
retrospectively
classified as accidents.
In every case
Section 14 was present.
We all know there's a lot of
trash in that section.
It should still be the same to them
whether a murder victim is rich or poor.
Who's been identified by name?
At the moment:
Naumann, Lanke, Hagedorn, Kuschke.
But we should investigate
the whole of Section 14.
We can't let anything be swept
under the carpet.
Otherwise the trust of the people
in our institution will finish.
You say that, of all people?
An SA man?
My political beliefs
have nothing to do with this.
Constable Kuschke is
also a member of the SA,
but I would like apply,
specifically, to arrest him.
Same as Hagedorn and Lanke.
You may be right.
For such need an operation,
even I need approval.
The Chief of Police
will not be pleased.
What put you on this track?
A note from Rudolf Malzig,
the assistant to Dr. Schwarz.
Actually he wanted to give me his
personal records last night.
- And?
- He didn't show up.
- Officer Lanke?
- Yes, here.
What do you want?
Contradictions have come to light
between your statements and
evidence in the investigation
into the murder at
Tietz department store.
- Murder? That was an accident.
- I must ask you to come with us.
Am I under arrest or what?
You are now on leave,
including accommodation in
a single room at state expense.
Your badge, please.
Yes, I'm coming!
- Sit down.
- Aren't you listening? Sit down.
Thank you, colleagues.
So, Mr. Kuschke,
you know why you're here?
And then he told us what to do.
I tried to get between them.
- Don't you know anything?
- Should I?
Yes, I think so.
Then we stepped back. We said no.
Good day.
Where is your colleague, Mr. Malzig?
Why do you ask? Maybe Malzig's
getting something to eat.
- Where is he?
- He is conspicuous by his absence.
- Has that often happened before?
- Well, every now and then.
Young people like to dance,
sometimes whole nights through.
- Let me know as soon as he turns up.
- Of course.
- Take this to Gennat.
- What is it?
This morning a man was found dead.
A homeless man.
From the rag market.
- I'll take it to him.
- Thank you.
Dr. F Voss.
Dr. F. Voss.
Excuse me, but it won't be that easy
any more.
What's happened?
The beginning of the end
of the German rule of law.
And I was there.
Good. What brought you to me?
I've been looking into a death.
Well, several deaths of
homeless teenagers.
How may I be of service to you?
One thing stood out to me:
They were all at some point
up before the same judge.
Voss.
Yes.
How did you know?
Dr. Ferdinand Voss.
A merciless, pitiless magistrate,
to whom no verdict can be too hard.
Always punitive, only punitive.
Never forgiving. Never questioning.
Famous, I should say,
notorious for his quirk,
passing judgment in
under 2 minutes 30 seconds.
The Corps Students
to applaud him.
As far as I know, a couple iof years
ago he was put on punishment duty,
and sent to the guardianship court.
- Where?
- Tiergarten.
His judgments are public, I expect.
Now, regarding work.
There's always something to do
at the Roten Hilfe.
It's true that it's voluntary,
but we'll think of something.
Thank you.
- Let me out!
- Bad news, Mrs. Nyssen.
Your husband
doesn't want to cooperate.
My husband would do anything
to save me, if he were able to.
Helga, yes?
If you know anything that
he doesn't know, tell me.
Now.
- You have the wrong person.
- Oh yes?
If anyone knows where
the stone is, then it's her.
She's the only one with access to the
house and she knows everything
about the vaults and accounts.
Who is "she"?
His mother.
OK.
- Thank you.
- The ladder.
Stop! Let me out of here!
Let me out of here!
Good morning!
- Good morning!
- What's up?
Can you tell me
where I can find Judge Voss?
- Who's asking?
- Please?
- Name?
- Ritter.
Ritter Bald-Butt.
I can still make you look
at me, then.
The honourable Judge Voss
is in session in room two.
But it's full today. You can't go in.
What else?
Would you please have the infinite
kindness to tell me where
Judge Voss' office is,
Key to Thirteen.
Can you take me with you to room 2?
Gladly.
The lady is with me.
- Thank you.
Are you also an admirer
of Judge Voss?
- Pardon?
- You will be.
So far, the facts.
I now ask the expert,
Deputy Helfer,
for her final assessment.
Mrs. Helfer heads the department for
youth and social welfare.
Willie is 11 years old.
He lost his parents at age 5.
Since then he's been living with other
youngsters on the street.
His offences are
Fraud, theft,
- You call that harmless?
- Born out of necessity.
It was only to put food in his mouth.
By that you mean
the criminal offence
370 Section 1 No. 5
of the Criminal Code.
I plead for accommodation on
the island of Scharfenberg.
There the boy has the greatest hope
of successful reintegration.
But who says we want to reintegrate
these misguided teenagers?
I must point out that this is
the Guardianship Court,
and not the party congress
of the Social Democrats.
Mr. Chairman.
What this youngster now needs
is a roof above the head
a meal on the table,
and a healthy dose of looking after.
Then, with an awake
and stimulated spirit,
he will grow
in the right direction.
A farmer doesn't build a castle,
a thief, no cloud cuckoo land.
This boy needs to learn control and
order. Cleanliness and discipline.
Therefore court therefore arranges
transfer
to the children's detention centre
"Sonnenborn".
Legal guardianship remains
with the court.
- Case closed.
- 2 minutes 6!
2, unbelievable.
- It's a new record, right?
- Unbelievable.
Well then, come with me, boy.
- Honourable Member?
- Ritter.
- Yes.
I didn't know you weren't working
at the prison any more.
No, I found a new job. What brings
you here? Are you on duty?
Yes.
for Judge Voss.
Such fun. What's it about?
An alleged murder in connection
with the department store gang.
I had hoped to view
recent court judgments.
Wait a minute, Mr. Chairman.
May I introduce you to someone?
Detective Inspector Ritter,
from Homicide.
What are you doing here?
For my investigations in
connection with a murder case
I need to view court judgments
In which you were involved.
Excuse me.
Why exactly is a homicide detective
interested in this case?
We're checking a connection to our
case.
Unfortunately I am not
authorised to share.
If you would please send me
Regrettably,
I don't have time for that.
is expecting the report today.
- You work for Kriminalrat Gennat?
- Yes.
Shall I tell him you refused
to cooperate,
and that you would love to receive
a call from him?
Eulenhofer. Come here
Take care of this lady's requests.
She wants access to files.
15 minutes. No longer.
Good. Come with me.
You don't know Voss,
it's your lucky day.
- Ice stock, Professor?
- Yes.
I'm just going to get changed.
Good, let's go.
These are judgments
against youthful delinquents
and orphans
during the last four quarters.
Thank you.
15 minutes.
20?
- 25.
- Deal.
- How'd it go?
- Here.
Sergeant Naumann beat the boy
"until the blood ran out of his head."
We told Naumann to stop,
We told him to stop.
"I told him to stop."
Blood ran out of the boy's head.
- We told him he should stop.
- We've all read it.
- And heard it.
- They all agreed to it.
- Definitely looks like it.
Blame it on the dead. Old scam.
- All that?!
- Yes.
How long will be able to hold them?
- One or two days.
- That can't be true.
We all know these are lies.
We have laws, Mr. Rath,
and we must adhere to them.
Kroll, Theodore.
Just finished.
Thank you!
Have a nice day.
Social services!
It's about Willi, your cousin.
Open the door!
Open up. Otherwise we'll have to
break the door down.
Toni, I'm going not into a home.
Please.
Put down the knife.
- We are here to help you.
- I don't want to go with you!
- Nobody does.
- Put down the knife.
Stay there.
- I won't go!
- Stop it now.
Who's that?
Go.
Mother.
She passed away a few days ago.
I still don't want to leave the
house.
- Hoffmann, call an undertaker!
- Yes.
- Hedwig?
- Come with us.
And please take down
their personal details.
Well then, girls,
firstly tell me your names.
Ernestine Kraus.
- And you?
- Renate.
More?
Knapsack.
May I introduce Malu Seegers.
She arranged the cabin
and is taking over the guard.
The Chief of the Army Command
is your father?
Yes, I'm afraid so.
I'd put my head on the line for her.
I brought food.
You can rely on Comrade Seeger.
I want to fight for our cause,
if necessary, to the death!
That will probably not be necessary,
but thank you.
Sit down, let's talk.
You know a Councilor Wendt.
Answer truthfully.
At the behest of Comrade Kulanin
I've been seeing him for a year.
- Privately?
- Yes, comrade.
You will soon be freed from him.
It will be over soon.
Wendt will die.
And we need you.
You will bring him to this cabin.
He will here stay overnight,
and leave the next day,
and then will it happen.
- Regierungsrat.
- Kriminalrat.
I have something that is more in
the realm of the political police
than in a murder investigation.
Some found photo negatives
by a dead body.
The pictures appear to be
top secret files
from the Command Staff of
the Ministry of Armaments.
- What?
- A chance find.
Before we were only aware of the dead
man as a fence and petty criminal.
And now as a spy?
Your department, Regierungsrat.
Mrs. Nyssen?
Mrs. Nyssen?
Mr. Nyssen!
Mr. Nyssen, your mother!
She stood me up.
I know. I can't find her anywhere.
In her room her flute is on the floor
and I found this.
- What?
What?
I'm afraid that you will
also be kidnapped.
- What can you do?
- Yodelling.
Yodelling?
- Next. What can you do?
- Walk on my hands.
- Then show me.
- Right here and now?
Yes, right here.
The Moka Efti has always been
ahead of the times, and now,
with the "cabaret of the nameless,"
we'll put the people themselves
on the stage.
Everyone gets a chance,
even if it's in vain.
In other words: a folk club.
No revue acts? No stars?
When times improve,
we'll put on revues again.
But right now
people are short.
On cash.
And we need to
The joint is sold out.
And?
- The press are still inside.
- Esther knows nothing?
The orders were, surprise,
and I've stuck to them.
Good.
Adn we've got this one in the bag,
right?
Whatever.
- What's he up to?
- He didn't say.
Excellent prizes await the winners.
Write it like this:
Esther Korda at in the Moka Efti
opened
"The Cabaret Of The Nameless."
Opportunities for advancement
for everyone!
Entry 1,50.
One drink on the house.
And, as usual:
hairdressers and taxi drivers
get the first week's admission free.
And now please excuse me.
- Ladies, gentlemen.
- A photo for the Tempo, please?
Caballeros. Danke.
Thank you, thank you.
Out, please!
What are you doing here?
Are you applying?
Nope. Burying the hatchet.
I thought it was maybe about time
the two of us had
a nice evening together again.
With the gorilla there always by our
side?
- No, thank you, I don't think so.
- No.
I'll give him the night off.
Diego.
Yes, senor.
Terraces at Wannsee,
Pavilion is booked.
The whole thing?
With all the trimmings.
Just the two of us.
And?
Shall we?
And?
Don Cabron is making eyes
at his Dulcinea.
Are you taking me with you?
Even in these everyday rags?
You? Always.
- You're always such a beautiful woman.
- Thank you, sir.
- I'll drive myself.
- No, no, no. Por favor, senor.
Senora. Please wait here.
I'll get it.
Yes, that's what he's like.
The policemen have all been
arrested now.
Are you being treated well?
A cop killer?
I have made initial inquiries
about this man.
I'm sure we'll find something find
that backs up your statement.
Does he have a family?
Yes, he does.
Children?
It won't stay like this.
Some day it will be gone.
It simply disappears.
I'm doing everything I can to get you
out as as soon as possible.
Promise me you'll find the girl.
Her name is Toni.
Charlotte.
Glad you're here.
I took a beer.
How was it?
Did he make a statement?
- And where is he now?
- Remand.
- It's hard on him.
- He saved my sister's life.
And you?
Where were you today?
Firstly at the Rote Hilfe.
Oh, yes?
Litten knew about the judge.
Which judge?
