What is it?
Comrade Lieutenant-General.
A comrade would like a word. He's from Berlin.
Who is it?
Second Lieutenant Mittig, Comrade Lieutenant-General.
We spoke on the phone.
-I told you that counter-revolutionary… -So?
You hung up. I had something else to say.
Get to the point.
Praise and honour to the glorious KGB, I always say.
Now that the comrade minister, a supporter of sport and young people, is dead,
I thought
I'd come here and offer my services.
And put myself forward for…
Well, something bigger.
Kleo.
She's still running around.
I could get rid of her
if in return I…
You understand?
The comrade understands.
Anja? What are you doing here?
Comrade Ramona is taking care of it.
What?
You're Ramona?
The Ramona?
Looks like it.
You're dismissed.
-Cunt. -Wanker.
AIRPORT MOSCOW
Moscow.
-Something feels off, right? -What?
Well, so far nobody has tried to kill us.
Which is a miracle, going anywhere with you.
Nikolai knows we're here.
Why aren't we dangling from a helicopter yet? What's he up to?
STRAUB
We're about to find out.
Straub? That's me.
Come with me, please.
-Want to ask her where we're going? -Why?
What do you mean, "why"?
Thank you.
Excuse me, where are we going?
Have a seat.
Okay. Thank you.
MOSCOW AIRPORT
What is this?
Kleo?
Let me have a look at you.
You're so…
You…
How you've grown!
Don't you remember me?
No.
I'm Akulina. Your babushka!
I'm so happy to see you.
Come, have some tea!
Do you know the old woman? Think she's dangerous?
That's my grandma.
Your… Okay.
I'll be here if you need anything, okay?
Mother Homeland.
It's my latest work. Do you like it?
Let's go.
Try it. It used to be your favourite.
Did you forget that too?
-I've been here before. -Often, in fact.
You all spent almost every summer here.
You loved playing in the garden.
It's strange. I don't see or hear from you for years.
You didn't exist. And now we're supposed to play happy families?
What happened back then was tragic.
That your mother left Nikolai.
He's a good father, and you were a good family.
And your mother destroyed everything.
That's an interesting definition of "a good father".
Here, look.
KLEO
He was always by your side. He went everywhere with you.
What do you want?
I want you to honour Nikolai for what he is.
Your father.
Do you think I'll just let him keep going like this?
So he can spread his "love" across the whole world?
I can't allow that.
You have more in common with him than you think.
The stubbornness with which you pursue your goals.
Your determination. Your strength. You get all that from your father.
And your eyes. You got those from your father too.
Just a pity that our goals are so different.
I'm not worried about him.
It's you
I'm worried about.
If it weren't for me, you'd be dead by now.
He's a loving father, but a relentless campaigner.
He won't spare you just because you're his daughter.
Spare me from what?
He's already taken everything.
But I won't let it happen any more.
Then you'll die.
It's late.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry too.
Kleo!
Farewell.
You too,
Babushka.
Yes?
The girl was here.
But she didn't want to listen.
I told you so,
Mama.
She is a stubborn child like you were!
Yes.
Yes, she is.
I know you must hate this guy more than I can ever imagine, but…
I don't know.
Shouldn't we think about what your grandma said?
Is there any chance of a peaceful solution?
-No. -How are we supposed to do this?
Two of us versus the whole KGB.
It's not just us.
What?
-Kleo! -Natasha!
How wonderful to see you!
I was so happy to hear from you.
Who is that?
Broderova, Natasha.
Petzold, Sven.
Come in! I made dinner.
-Borscht? -Yes, of course borscht.
Cheers.
A toast to Cuba.
To friendship.
Cuba?
That's where we met. Didn't she tell you?
Kleo has many talents, but communication isn't one of them.
Kleo was the prettiest in the Friendship Brigade.
All of Cuba was in love with this woman. Every last one.
-Everyone? -Yes. She was really wild.
Yeah, you're lucky to be with her.
We're not together. We just work together.
'Cause she doesn't want to.
And why not? He looks kind of okay.
Hurry up.
Or I'll take him for myself!
Hello?
It's for you.
Yes?
Kleo.
Babushka called me.
She was disappointed.
I told her there was no point in talking to you.
Correct.
I won't try to change your mind.
Why are you calling, then?
Kleo.
When you were born,
I wanted to name you Nadezhda.
"Hope."
After the second wife of our wise leader Joseph Stalin.
Your mother was against it.
Nadezhda?
Didn't she kill herself?
And Stalin sent her sister to the gulag.
My little Kleo,
I want you to understand.
You're my daughter,
and I'm proud of you.
It's awful that I couldn't be there for you.
Is that why you called?
To give me your side of the story?
You know what? I really couldn't give a shit.
-I'm your father. -You're not my father.
Fabian was my father, and you killed him.
Fabian!
He took everything from me.
The woman I loved
and you, my child.
He deserved to die.
And mum deserved to die too?
You think I enjoyed that?
Your mother's death hurts me just as much as it hurts you.
But I couldn't allow her to defy us.
And if you defy me, Kleo,
then I'll have to destroy you and your counter-revolutionary ideas.
What if I destroy you and your ideas?
You had the chance once.
You didn't do it.
You can't kill your father.
You're not my father, Nikolai.
You're a monster.
And I'm going to kill that monster.
Are you okay?
That was Nikolai.
In Mallorca, you said I always keep going because that's how I am.
Is that true?
I was wrong.
You can change, and you have changed.
-A lot, in fact. -Yeah?
Yeah.
I always thought I couldn't.
But I can.
You can change.
You can also change the course of things.
Yeah.
And if you're really lucky, you can change the world too. Right?
If anyone can do that,
it's you.
Thank you.
See you under the table!
No idea what that means, but count me in.
The flight was headed from Tallinn to Lviv.
The aircraft is currently in the USSR. All passengers are safe…
-Morning! -Morning.
-Tea? -Yes, please.
…were detained by the Finnish police.
German Chancellor Helmut Kohl spoke to the press in Bonn,
and to their surprise, announced that there will be no monetary union.
Doubts on the part of the US are cited as the reason.
What are they saying?
Your monetary union was cancelled.
What? That means Nikolai has the pact.
Yes, but not for much longer. We're taking it back today.
Here. Her father's going to a premiere at the State Theatre.
Ballet.
Our performance will take place at the KGB.
Natasha's mother works there. She'll help us.
-Yeah. -And then?
Then we just search the building housing the world's biggest secret service
for a pact?
-Yes. What else? -Well, we could…
Let's go, comrade.
Today, in Germany's capital city, Berlin, a techno parade took place.
Young people played so-called techno music on speakers.
Lots of fans danced through the western city.
-I hope she can do this. She has to. -She will.
-Be careful. Okay? -Sure thing.
Mail! Maria is sick. I'm here for her today.
Mail.
Come and get your mail!
Get your mail, comrade! Good morning.
Attention!
Attention all comrades. A gas attack has been detected in our headquarters.
Poor bastard.
Let's go.
Hey.
Let's go.
Let's go. Come on.
Yeah. All right.
Oh, man!
Handy.
You?
-I thought you were at the… -Ballet?
Yeah.
I hate ballet.
Doesn't look good. You should go see a doctor.
No travel health insurance.
Then go home.
I will.
With Kleo.
Kleo is dead.
And you'll be next, Mr Petzold.
Do you know what her funeral plans were?
Maybe we'll scatter her ashes all over the place.
What do you think?
I think…
you have no idea how good your daughter is.
Do you know how often I've thought, "Kleo's dead"?
"No way she survived that." But she did. Every single time.
Because Kleo is so much stronger, tougher, and braver
than you can ever imagine, Nikolai.
I'm not worried about Kleo.
I'm worried about you.
Because Kleo is coming,
and she'll kill you.
And I'm going now.
Should I?
Wait, not here.
We know where he's hiding. We'll deal with him later.
Ramona.
-You know how it is when duty calls. -Where's your child?
With my woman. She's so happy.
She was thrilled about becoming a mother.
What's all this about?
I have orders to kill you.
But you know,
what happened in Chile, that got me thinking.
I asked myself,
"What is strong and what is weak?"
I always thought you were weak because you betrayed your ideals.
And I was strong because I was loyal.
But that was wrong.
You didn't kill me back then.
You decided for yourself what was right and what was wrong.
That's strength! And me?
I'm weak because I do what I'm told.
I love you.
You deserve it more than me.
Your way is the right one, Kleo.
I learned from you.
I'm not going to take any more orders.
Fuck.
We women can change the world if we…
Hi, comrades.
Blah, blah, blah. What was all that nonsense?
-What have you done? -Eliminated the GDR's supposed best agent.
Stupid bastard!
I'll get him.
Uwe!
Uwe.
Come on!
Shit.
Uwe!
One, two…
Uwe?
Let's talk!
What about?
Suddenly, she wants to talk! What about?
About maths, for example?
You were never very good at it.
We have eight rounds. All gone.
How many are left?
Your magazine is empty.
Listen to me, Uwe.
You realise they were kidding about fighting for workers, right?
Margot, Nikolai…
All they care about is power, money, influence…
And you're just their plaything.
Damn it!
A stupid little pawn to be sacrificed.
They're using you!
I don't believe it.
Come in!
You're alive! Oh my God, you're alive.
I need vodka.
Vodka, please.
-Sure you don't wanna go to the hospital? -Yes!
-Now put that in between. -Like this?
-So, what happened? -The pact wasn't at the KGB.
-But I know where it is. -Really?
Thanks.
-Here. -Is that you?
Yeah, and this tower is the Monument to the Conquerors of Space.
Why do you think it's there?
Whenever I dream about the past, I see a little cosmonaut.
That's no coincidence.
Dreams?
Are you kidding? You want to go because of cosmonauts in your dreams?
Sven, Nikolai had a model rocket on his desk.
The photo, the rocket, the tower… The pact is there! I'm sure.
Even if it was.
None of us are going anywhere without a watertight plan.
What's happening now?
Here you go.
Comrade Lieutenant Dunya Broderova.
That's how we get in. Natasha, you're the best.
This isn't a plan. It's a disguise.
-What about once we're in? God! -Hold this.
You are hereby designated a hero of the Soviet Union,
and I'm awarding you this medal for outstanding bravery.
I'm scared too.
I…
trust you.
You'll be fine.
Be careful.
Cheers!
I listened to myself because of Sirius B.
In here.
Yeah, man.
-What did you hear? -Nothing.
Yes, but that's good.
Where there's nothing, Dopi, everything can grow.
A flower?
Yeah. For example, Dopi.
For example.
Cool!
-Can you take over? -Sure.
How did you do that?
I want to apologise to you, Thilo. I'm sorry for not telling the truth.
I'm sorry because I realised you're the best person I've ever met.
-Ciana. -I want to show you something, Thilo.
Ciana?
I'm no longer so bothered by the fact that UFOs don't exist.
Let me show you something.
What's this?
A tear in the space-time continuum.
Is this Nevada?
Area 51?
Awesome.
Maybe I'm from space after all? Am I from an extrasolar ocean planet?
From Gliese 1214.
-Comrade. -Comrades.
-This is from Major Zhukov? -General Zhukov.
You! Are you out of your mind?
What is your problem? This is comrade major general.
Let her through, scumbag!
Excuse me, Comrade Major General.
The safe is in the basement in the control room.
Thank you.
Why do you speak Russian so well?
Oh, yeah, that…
Natasha taught me that sentence, just in case.
You didn't find that sexy? I did.
There it is.
Now we just have to open it.
What? Wait, how?
-Yes, "How?" That's the question. -No.
"How? You don't know the combination," is the question.
Of course not.
Seriously? You organise all this and you don't know the combination?
How was I supposed to know the documents are in a fucking safe?
They're intelligence documents! Where else would they be if not in a goddamn safe?
-Stop whining and help me. -You drive me crazy.
If you were Nikolai, what would your code be?
No idea.
Okay. 25.10.1917, the day of the October Revolution.
Not bad for a West German.
But that's incorrect.
According to the Russian calendar, it's 7.11.1917.
Okay.
Fuck! Would've been too good to be true.
I have another idea.
-Okay. And that is? -Stalin's birthday.
That's good. That's very good. Very, very good.
One, eight, seven, eight…
-Damn it! -Shit.
Bugger!
Okay, Nikolai. What else is Nikolai?
He's your father.
-Your birthday. -My birthday.
Please.
Oh my God!
Yes!
Goddamn it!
Oh my God.
Shall we kiss?
-No. -Okay.
Shit.
What is it?
Oh shit.
What… No! Let's all just keep calm, please, okay?
I think that is what I'm looking for, right?
Let's say it is, then what?
Let me think.
You go to Russia
and steal what is currently the most important document in the world.
Then what?
Rose, do you seriously think we'd put ourselves in this situation
without a watertight escape plan?
We don't have one? Kleo!
My plane is waiting.
Okay.
And to hitch a ride, I'm supposed to hand over my only trump card?
So you can rebuild the world the way you want?
That will not happen. You'll have to shoot me first.
I could shoot.
Then I'd get what I want.
But…
I want to make you an offer.
What is it?
A piece of information that will change your life.
This letter in exchange for the pact.
Thanks.
But I've had enough life-changing information.
-Okay. Shouldn't we… -Trust me.
Okay.
If you want the pact, you'll have to shoot me.
What the fuck are you doing?
Okay.
Father…
Good evening, Kleo!
Good work.
Do I get a medal from you now?
What were you thinking?
You were just going to shoot the monster?
Pull the trigger.
Shooting your own father isn't that simple?
Even if he is a monster.
Give me the pact.
You're right.
I can't shoot you.
And you?
Can you shoot your own daughter?
No!
Shit, I think I bit my tongue.
You're alive?
Yeah.
What? The medal?
Man, you're such an idiot!
I told you to let me handle it!
-Look. -Wait.
You're kidding. Is that a bulletproof vest?
-Yes! -Why do you have one and I don't?
I only had one.
Well then…
Why didn't you tell me?
He fired at me. I could have died.
You're not a team player. Honestly!
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Is he dead?
Yes. He's dead.
And the pact is gone too, right?
Probably better that way.
It's not gone.
You swapped it just like that?
Okay, so what do we do next?
Change the world?
Change the world together?
Come on.
Holding hands? Seriously?
Okay.
But only because you want to.
Comrade Harald, we have an important message for you.
Understood.
I regret to inform you your father was killed by a gunshot.
Was it my twin sister?
Yes.
I'm coming back.
H. STRAUB
Pussycat.
Cat. Pussy…
