Babylon Berlin (2017–…): Season 2, Episode 8 - Episode #2.8 - full transcript
Previously on Babylon Berlin.
I will now lead you back to
the source of your fear.
He's lying at my feet...
My brother is still alive!
- There's another one!
- Dirty German pig.
I was captured.
I was forced to
leave Anno behind.
And no trace of your brother?
The train will be sent back.
Including the wagon
with the gold.
- There is no gold in the wagon.
- There is. The wagon numbers were swapped.
Wolter is meeting someone
Jänicke didn't recognize.
They're talking about robbing the
train, and it says here where exactly.
Milestone 127.
And they'll all try to stop
the train before the border.
- Who do you mean, all?
- Well, Wolter. Nyssen.
Gereon!
I'm stuck!
Come on.
Come on!
Come on!
Moon and sun.
They're both there.
Yes, it happens.
Both the same size.
Will you carry me all the
way back to the city?
Of course.
What happened?
Here, boss. The train line
runs through a forest,
but first we have to go
through this village.
That takes too long.
There. We'll go cross-country.
Through there.
The tracks go around the bend.
We can take a short cut.
Take good care of her.
He's a better driver than me.
Gereon.
Be careful.
I'm telling you, we
should have gone left.
- No, we need to go east.
- Exactly. East is to the left.
- But the map is upside down.
- But why?
- We would have to go backwards otherwise.
- I see.
This way.
- Like I said.
- Left. I said left.
But you meant right.
What now? Let's go.
If the train runs faster than 40
km/h, it will have already passed.
But why?
Because it left three hours ago
and we just passed milestone 120.
But the 120 doesn't refer to the
distance to the engine shed.
- What then?
- I don't know.
You don't know.
But you know for sure it doesn't refer
to the distance to the engine shed?
- I say it hasn't passed yet.
- Boss!
That's a stop sign.
- Line closure.
- Like I said.
When we're on the train, we have to
reckon with him at every corner.
- You mean Wolter?
- And his men.
- At every corner?
- I meant bend.
No, you mean curve. But why would
they rob the train in a curve?
Ready?
Yes, sir.
What's this?
- Did I miss a signal?
- No idea.
There is someone on the tracks.
Police. Put it down.
Now listen closely.
No!
Gereon. Gereon.
Hands behind your
head and lie down!
On the double, gentlemen!
Company, secure the train.
We're looking for
wagon TY 23-05.
SOROKIN
Everything alright out there?
Your gun. Throw it to me.
Get up there.
You're no hero.
You're a traitor.
No values.
No morals.
No courage.
This is about something else.
And you...
you work to rule.
Like all apple polishers.
God! This...
This is coal.
This...
This is...
This is all garbage.
Coal...
Vile coal.
Get up there. Now.
Come out. Get down there.
I want to see your hands.
Henning?
Czerwinski?
Throw away the gun.
Out now.
Come down. Gas!
There's a gas leak!
Gas!
Drive.
Drive!
Henning?
Czerwinski?
How long does the
anesthesia work?
- It depends. 30 to 60 minutes.
- A half hour to an hour.
That's what I said.
Where is Wolter?
Is he down there?
- No. Gone.
- Not here.
Watch out.
Disarm all of them.
- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.
- Hey, boss! Now what?
- Now what?
You stay here! Disarm the men. Yes, sir.
And you? The train is leaving.
Go on, drive. Let's go. Faster.
Valve. Full steam!
If you pull the brake
I'll shoot you both.
For the cowardly and insidious attack
on Councillor Benda and his family,
an unknown faction of the Communist
Party has taken responsibility.
The role of a maid who was arrested
on site is still being investigated.
This inhuman act is
probably directly related
to the Communist protesters
who were killed on May 1.
The same night, the police
have started to chase down
and arrest insurgent
elements in the city.
The Red Terror is
destabilizing the republic
and has to be fought tooth and nail,
says Chief of Police Zörgiebel.
Zossen. During a train
accident last night,
a tank wagon filled with
chemicals exploded.
What led to the accident is
still completely unknown.
Thank you.
- Miss Scheffler?
- Yes, Councillor?
Away with this one.
And when you're done, have the
room thoroughly fumigated.
- Disinfect it.
- Yes, sir.
The boss will see you now.
Councillor?
Happy to make your acquaintance.
Congratulations on your investigative
success in your own ranks.
- Thank you.
- Take a seat.
Cigarette? Thank you.
The events around
your colleague Wolter
and his illegal activities
have made me think.
In these tumultuous times it's getting
more and more difficult to be able
to rely on the political opinions of
even your closest colleagues, right?
I was thinking of establishing
a new department.
I'll call it
"Internal Revision".
Irregularities within
our apparatus,
conspicuous political behavior,
corruption, that sort of thing.
I want you to be the
head of this department.
Unofficially.
Officially, you're still
with Homicide. Do you
swear to tell the truth and
nothing but the truth?
DISTRICT COURT MAY 1 TRIAL
So help me God.
I have here the memory minutes,
signed by your colleague,
Inspector Wolter, Bruno,
describing the events
during the demonstrations
on May 1, 1929.
Your colleague accuses the communists
to have shot at you and him.
That's right!
This contradicts all the statements we've
heard from all the other witnesses.
Wait, I correct myself.
From all witnesses who are not
members of the Berlin police.
Since Inspector Wolter has passed
away as I can see from the file,
you're the only one
who was summoned.
Inspector Rath.
Can you confirm your
colleague's statement?
Or do you want to add
something under oath today?
We were shot at.
That's a lie.
I hereby confirm the statement
of my colleague Bruno Wolter.
Liar!
Liar!
Murderer!
The protesters opened fire on us.
We were shot at.
Quiet! Quiet!
Traitor!
Thank you. That's enough.
- Good performance. Everyone's grateful.
- Thank you.
We need to go to Sorokina's flat.
We can't let that woman get away.
This came for you this morning.
Department PO.
-Personnel office.
-Department personnel.
STATE POLICE
ADMINISTRATION BERLIN
Congratulations.
Your application has been accepted.
You have the job.
Congratulations.
Welcome to our department.
Deputy Ritter.
Yes, congrats.
Congrats.
Come on, let's go see Sorokina.
Hello. Please open up Ms.
Sorokina's flat. Police.
Criminal investigations.
Flown out. Charlotte?
Look at this.
The family portrait?
Old Sorokin and his family.
Eight children.
- So?
- Where do you see Svetlana Sorokina?
The little one with
the mother, right?
That's a boy.
Look at the face.
He even has a sword.
And the dress?
A christening robe?
You mean...
the Sorokins didn't
have a daughter?
At least she's not
in the painting.
The singer told me that,
as children, they were playing
with the chauffeur's daughter
The family chauffeur.
He later betrayed the Sorokins to the
Bolsheviks, during the revolution.
The entire family was murdered.
The people in this painting...
They are all dead.
Maybe Svetlana is the
chauffeur's daughter.
That's why she knew
about the gold, but...
not that it was fake.
There's our train.
They're casting a tank
wagon back there.
Like our wagon.
Look at this. Impossible.
The vessel.
The vessel itself.
- Is made of...
- Of gold.
Ladies and gentlemen.
I am pleased to present to you
the most dazzling star that
has fallen out of Russia.
For the very first
time in Paris,
the Comtesse en Noir!
Twilight on Sunday
Without sleep my
life torments me
In the storm of the
shadows of the past
I won't survive the night
A black drape of sorrow
has fallen from the sky
In a white garden
We found a gloomy forest
I foresee that the angels
won't return you to me
They know how sad it is
for me here without you
On Sunday
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR POSITION
Hey! You!
Drop it!
I can't stand your rocking!
Drop it!
- Mr. Nyssen.
- Yes?
Mrs. Rath is here.
Don't light the candles
Let the chants go quiet
Everyone who knew us
Should think that we're
better off there
Death is no dream
I won't wait for the awakening
All my tenderness I
want to give you
On Sunday
On Sunday
On Sunday
That's enough. Put him
against the wall!
On behalf of the
suppressed masses,
Gereon Rath is sentenced
to death for perjury.
Go! Everyone leave! Go on!
Breathe very calmly.
Breathe in...
and out again.
Good.
And when I say "now"
you will open your eyes.
Now.
Yes, close your eyes again.
Good. Good.
And now delve twice as deeply into
your relaxed state than before.
I'm counting backwards now.
Five. And you picture a place...
where you feel the most secure.
Four...
A place where you're safe,
loved,
secure.
It may be in the
bosom of the family.
I will now take you back...
to the source.
To the source of your fear.
You are in Cologne. In
your home town. It is
the summer shortly
before you are drafted.
You long for the war so much,
you can't wait to go away and
leave everything behind you.
There is the woman you love.
But there is something that
keeps you apart from her.
I will guide you...
step by step.
Step by step...
all the way to the
source of your fear.
All the way to the truth.
It is November 14, 1918,
just before 9 a.m.
The front line between
Malmaison and Laffaux.
Three...
It is now nine
minutes past nine.
Despite the bad visibility, the
enemy intensifies his new attacks.
On one, you will wake up.
You will open your eyes and finally
cover the lie with the images of truth.
Two...
But you have to remember
the image of truth.
Gereon!
Gereon!
And when you open your eyes now,
your fear will be in the past.
One.
Do you recognize me?
Anno? Yes.
Get up, Gereon.
To ashes, to dust
Stolen from the light
But not yet now
Miracles wait until the end
Ocean of time
Eternal law
To ashes, to dust
To ashes
But not yet now
To ashes, to dust
Stolen from the light
But not yet now
Miracles wait until the end
Ocean of time
Eternal law
To ashes, to dust
To ashes
But not yet now
I will now lead you back to
the source of your fear.
He's lying at my feet...
My brother is still alive!
- There's another one!
- Dirty German pig.
I was captured.
I was forced to
leave Anno behind.
And no trace of your brother?
The train will be sent back.
