Late edition: Brutal murders in Kreuzberg!

Extrablatt! Extrablatt!

Massacre on Jannowitz Bridge!

- Read all about it in Der Angriff! - Berlin in a blood frenzy!

- Shootings in the street! - Press.

- Superintendent... - I've been waiting for you.

- Can they do as they please now? - Four bloody murders in one night!

No comment.

What will you do about the Ringvereins?

Has the police given up on Berlin?

- Does the underworld rule? - Who are the masterminds?

Who will be held accountable?

At this moment,

our investigations do not allow us to tell you who we are focusing on.

What do you think...

Ladies and gentlemen!

We're working flat out. Right now, we won't make any predictions

about potential revenge acts of the affected Ringvereins.

But certainly, there are hints which narrow down the circle of persons.

Tell your readers that the Berlin police will establish order in the city.

Thank you.

Good morning, Colonel.

- Your breakfast. - Just tea, please.

Please serve Miss Seegers anything she likes later.

- Very well, Colonel. - Thank you.

Miss, please connect me with the Reich's defense ministry.

Yes. General Seegers' office, please.

Hello.

You won't believe what was played into my hands yesterday.

It was found on some petty criminal in the street.

Highest-ranking state secrets.

I have the negative of a film in front of me.

If you print them,

and I ordered some prints yesterday,

you get detailed data on unofficial troop strength

and armament plans from the Reichswehr's staff of command.

How do you explain this?

Absolutely.

Yes, of course.

Yes.

And I'm happy to help you find the leak, General.

First of all, I'll destroy these negatives in full.

Right now, yes.

Immediately.

Without delay.

Yes.

Let's hope that there aren't any other photographs.

I'll be in touch.

Driven by fear,

your dear Papa.

Coffee?

Tea.

Sugar?

Milk.

Milk is out right now.

I can offer you plum jam.

Cold cuts?

Will you be here later?

Despite the rotten hospitality?

But I can come back if you want.

I beg you to.

You want me to come back?

CUSTODIAL INSTITUTION FOR CHILDREN AND YOUTHS HOUSE SONNENBORN

Everyone out.

Girls this way.

The boys in block A.

You are Ernestine and you Renate, right?

No.

The other way around.

Fine.

Welcome to Sonnenborn. You will heal in here.

Your body as well as your mind.

Go on.

- Charlotte. - Go back to sleep. Sorry.

Where have you been?

Out and about.

So, it's serious, yeah?

I have to run.

Well...

you still have to pay your rent.

Hang on.

Hang on, hang on.

I've got some money somewhere.

Come on, keep it.

I'll get this month.

What would I do without you?

Please don't.

Don't say it.

Thanks.

See you.

It was just sitting there in the morning.

- Here, in the staircase? - Yes, I mean... there.

Hello.

Something's cheeping, definitely.

Why haven't you opened it yet?

It's addressed to you.

POLICE HEADQUARTERS DEPT. A DC RATH

There is a living thing in there.

Open it.

It's Rat-Robert giving us his regards.

We'll leave that here and take the paintings.

Those things go in the front of the suitcase.

And all the magazines and pictures go in there to be packed.

What's this supposed to be?

I'm leaving.

We're leaving.

- Esther, I can make this right. - Do you want to finish them all off?

It'll be sorted. You'll get protection and the kids too.

I've stayed for far too long.

Where do you want to go?

You can't go outside without protection.

- You saw that yesterday. - With Edgar, I always felt safe.

You were absolutely miserable with him. Have you forgotten?

You hated him. You whinged.

- And now you can't let him go. - Yes, because you can't replace him.

What?

You can't replace him.

I wanted both of you.

Or neither of you.

Without him...

you're nothing.

You're not the man I wanted.

You're the man who was left over.

If you think that you'll get a foot into any door in this city...

you have another think coming.

I was somebody when you were still shining Edgar's boots.

Yeah?

Where is he now?

He is dead.

Buried.

And why?

Because he was careless just the one time.

No!

Because he wanted to get rid of his best friend.

Because he was incapable of sharing with anyone.

Shall I?

What do you mean by that?

He wanted to have me shot dead.

And you? What did you do?

Why are you still here?

And he isn't.

Tell me.

Tell me!

Go on.

Thank you.

Director General?

Why didn't you tell me? I would have told you that we renovate.

Now we've got the schlimazel.

What can I do for you?

Listen, Grün.

You need to get me something. A diamond.

Call your Jews in Amsterdam and tell them that we need a diamond.

One that looks like the Blue Rothschild.

A copy that's indistinguable from the original.

And I need this stone now, right away.

- May I ask why the interest... - We're the victims of a crime.

Pardon?

A kidnapping.

I see.

Please, Grün.

Money is immaterial. I just need a duplicate.

The stone is a work of art, a solitaire.

- The purity, the cut... - So forge it.

A forgery would be apparent immediately.

- Have you been to the police? - Goodness me, no.

Grün, you need to understand, the life of my mother

and of my wife is in your hands.

Name your price, I'll pay.

I can try to find out who has the stone.

But...

making a duplicate is out of the question.

Please!

I'm ever so sorry, Mr. Nyssen.

- Avrum? - Yep.

I need to talk to you. Right now.

- When can we meet? - Come here. I'm at the hotel.

Not there.

I know a café.

No one will disturb us there. Do you have something to write?

- Mrs. Ahlrichs? - Yes.

Hello, I'm with the police. Are your parents in?

Do you have a badge?

And a gun?

No, I don't, I don't need that. That's just in the movies.

I'm here about your daughter Albertine.

I would like to enquire about the circumstances of your daughter's death.

He met the wrong people. Didn't come home for days,

Must have slept under a bridge.

- And he became a criminal? - I'll say! Grand theft in the end.

So they arrested him and put him in a home.

At some point, they put him in a home.

Of course, he ran away immediately.

And the judge who sent him to the home? Was it Dr. Voss?

Yes. A merciless man.

- And how did your daughter die? - They said something about an accident.

Shortly after she ran away from the home.

- It was called Sonnenborn. - You don't know what happened?
