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.
