Lilly!

- It's my father!

And my mother!

What?

Where to? Don't you have a balcony?

- No! No! In there!

What's wrong? Are you ill?

- Ill?

Yes ... I mean no.

I was just on my way out.

Where are the children?

- At the zoo.

- Again?

They were there last week.

- And the week before.

Is Gnther here?

- No, he left his things here.

I didn't know he came.

- I didn't either.

And good riddance! Let him talk about

wonder weapons and final victories

when he's on the front where

nobody knows what's going on.

Oh, cut it out. You're the one

who keeps babbling about politics.

8,500 tons of explosives in two weeks!

And it's going to go on like that

until that scum is finally gone.

Are you talking about German soldiers?

Who is that?

- Yes, well ...

it's Captain Ernst Biermsl.

Did you hear that, Lilly?

Those of us on the front have no idea

what's going on.

And the answers are all right here.

You and your drinking buddies,

you know what's going on, right?

Regardless, I'd like to know what

you're doing in my daughter's bedroom.

Dancing Bavarian jig.

I'm reporting you.

What do you say now?

Nothing.

Now you can smell death

like your son-in-law.

Where's the door?

That was a bit too much, wasn't it?

- Why?

You ... You weren't serious in there?

People like you and your kind won't

be around much longer.

But ...

You ...

You ...

Go!

Go! Go!

Lilly!

- Why don't you shut up for once!

Lilly, where are you going?

- To the zoo to get my children!

At least then I'll know what I'm good for.

Heil Hitler.

Not even Hitler and his bloodsuckers

could keep Felice from her old habits.

Her favorite meeting place

was the "Hotel at the Zoo"

where there were so many uniforms that

the race question did not even come up.

That was the real Berlin:

Outside, people were dying,

and inside they were playing

the proper tune.

On behalf of First Lieutenant von Deeken

I'd like you to join us for some wine.

Wine? How did you manage that?

Did you sell your castle?

There are ways and means.

May we? There are no strings attached.

- What a shame.

Just kidding.

Most of us are going back tonight.

In two hours.

May I ... May I go back with a "yes."

But only if you stay at your own table.

- Thank you very much. Thank you.

It's alright, sweetheart.

It's only your nerves.

It won't be long.

I'm certain.

Perhaps you'd like to freshen up,

alright?

Go with her, Klara.

Are you crazy?

What if somebody comes in here?

I sleep on sofas, chairs, everywhere.

Wherever you like.

But I don't want to smell bad,

understand? I need something clean.

Do you have to scare us like that?

- Here. Where is Felice, damn it!

What's up?

- All this is for Schmidt. Stamps,
