The Good German Page #4

She seems to have made

quite an impression on you.

I just didn't expect

I'd find her like this.

I didn't expect I'd find her.

When you say to yourself,

''That's the worst thing I've ever heard''...

... stick around.

That's Berlin. Now it is.

There's always something worse.

-Geismer. G-E-l-S-M-E-R. Geismer.

-Yes, yes, I understand.

I'm sorry, The New Republic

is not credentialed for today's schedule.

-We can't have you without a press card.

-I told you my wallet was stolen.

I have a line of people behind you.

You should speak to General Sikorsky.

He's in charge of security.

Where's Charlie Ross?

I played poker with him in St. Louis.

lf I could just talk to Charlie Ross.

Oh, f*** a duck.

General, over here, please.

Welcome.

Wonderful, wonderful.

Congratulations.

General.

General, I'm with the office

of the military governor.

I'll be escorting the captain

back to the American zone.

Were you with Corporal Tully

last night?

I was in a club up till dawn

drinking with the bartender...

... if your girl Friday

had bothered to check.

Checkpoint recorded Jacob Geismer

crossing into the Russian zone...

... just after midnight.

-F***ing Tully.

-What's that?

My wallet was stolen at the airport.

-Did you report it?

-It's not exactly a war crime.

Where did you get those bruises?

I got in a fight with Tully.

-Over... ?

-He rode the brake.

Wasn't over a girl, was it?

He was supposed to pick me up.

He didn't show. I got pissy about it.

The Russians want this to go away.

An American serviceman turns up dead

in Potsdam...

... on the eve of the peace conference?

It's pretty damn embarrassing.

Good news for you, frankly.

We want it to go away too.

Well, maybe I should talk directly

to the MG.

He won't wanna bother with this.

He doesn't wanna know

what Tully was doing in Potsdam?

We're doing a hell of a job in Berlin.

Is there a black market? Sure there is.

Are some of our boys involved in it?

Yes, they are.

-lf the Russians killed Tully--

-Then he deserved whatever he got.

And his poor family

doesn't need to know anything more...

... than that he crashed his jeep

trying to avoid a bunny rabbit.

We're not gonna start World War III

over some dumb GI...

... who got his dick stuck

in a pitch pot.

You stay out of the Russian sector

for the rest of your time here.

Now, we can't protect you over there.

Thanks.

And if you find that girl...

... we'd like to talk to her.

Kids. Two months ago,

they were shooting at us.

lf it isn't Jake Geismer.

Who did you insult this time?

-You got a second? I'll tell you.

-Yeah, why don't we catch up?

-How's 1946?

-You mean you're not interested?

I know you, Jake. We're a long way
