That says "Yes"

to this city,

"Yes" to the future,

"Yes" to freedom.

In a word,

I would submit that what

keeps you in Berlin is love...

...love both profound

and abiding.

As I looked out a moment

ago from the Reichstag,

that embodiment

of German unity,

I noticed words crudely,

spray-painted upon the wall...

Quote... "This wall will fall.

Beliefs become reality. "

Ooh!

That wind.

- Watch your step... it's slippery.

- There you are!

Hello, Peter.

- How was the drive? - It was fine.

Thanks. Nice to see you again.

Hope you're not too hungry.

We're running near empty.

She makes the

best soup.

- It's almost done.

- When does Eric get in?

He's been here

a few days.

Ahh, that was the longest drive

I've ever had in my entire life.

Last time I'm doing

that with those two.

I had to wait in the car just now

to remember what silence felt like.

"Man delights not me. "

"Nor woman neither. "

Nor woman.

Yes, yes.

- Mm. Anyway... where are they?

- Um, they're in the kitchen, I think.

- Oh. Herb in his room?

- Mm-hmm.

I'll make my rounds.

He's a miracle, isn't he?

Who isn't?

And I open the flyer from the

performance art next wave

whatever, and there

was you... full page.

- Congratulations.

- Thank you.

Bravo.

Apparently, it's the talk

of the town, literally.

The New Yorker just

published a piece...

"The Hope of Media Village. "

Very cool.

They called me a

veteran actress,

- which means I'm... I don't know.

- Food for worms.

Oh, you never pass up an opportunity

for an entrance, do you?

- Missed a calling, I'm sure.

- Among other things. - Mm-hmm.

- Hello, Stephen.

- Good evening.

- Hi, Daddy.

- Hi, sweetheart.

- Hey, Peter.

- Peter, Abe. Abe, Peter.

- Found him in the closet.

- He's beautiful.

He's mine.

- Hi, Doctor.

- Captain.

A dozen times,

he's tried to escape.

- Maybe we should let him.

- Just close the cage.

- I didn't open it.

- Sure, you didn't.

He almost flew out the back door,

which you also left open.

I can't even get out of this damn chair...

how can I open a cage?

- He's not ready yet. - So you say,

but look at the kid... he wants out.

- Soon.

- Well, now.

I'm sorry.

Excuse me.

He said he had

to see the lake.

He's had a horrible time.

- He needed to come back.

- Herb, do we have to?

- Abe is so much happier eating

in his cage. - Well, I insist.

- Well, of course you do.

- Mmm.

- Is Peter okay?

- Everything's fine.

I'll leave him a bowl

in the kitchen.

I like your uniform.

It's mi... it's missing

a few patches.

Did you see the new

truck out there?

- So proud of my boy.

- Thanks, pop.

- Don't call me that.

- Yes, Dad. - I'm not your dad.

Nothing changes.

Will you be taking Abe

to live with you?

Yeah, the reservation has

an education center,

so I'll take him there until

he's ready to be released.

When you don't

need him anymore.

Is that coriander?

- Cumin. - That's what

I thought. It's lovely.

Not enough salt.

Excuse me.

Parsley.

Oh, I love parsley.

Can you pass me

some bread, please?

Oh, thank you.

You need to send

me the recipe.

I will.

I shouldn't be here.

It's so cold, isn't it?

- My face is like an icicle.

- Come inside.

- No, thank you.

- R-really, I'm fine. - Please.

You look freezing.

Just for a minute...

and then I have to go.

Isn't it funny?

They all come back

when it's time to go.

Even Peter... he's here.

I should have known.

I've been looking

all over for him.

He just disappeared.

I couldn't find him. I couldn't

find anyone. You have no idea.

My family left, too.

Did you know that?

Yes.

Someone's buying

up the whole lake.

That's what I heard.

Winner takes all.

I still remember that night.

"The most barbarous ages... "

It's not true, is it?

- How does it feel to be famous?

- I'm not.

You are...

And it makes me happy.

That bird...

Incredible, isn't she?

So beautiful.

I wish I could hold her.

It was a disaster.

I can't stay.

I just...

wanted to tell you...

Everything's okay.

And that I miss you.

Eva?!

Eva!

Eva!

Eva!

Eva!

For the city,

it's a very nice place...

Large dining room, study,

decent kitchen,

plenty of room for three

or four comfortably.

- It'll be good for Herb.

- Mommy, I have to tinkle.

Why doesn't

Daddy take you?

What do you say,

tinkle toes?

- How much do I love you?

- Past the stars.

- Aww!

- Aww.

Well, I think it's wonderful,

it worked out... such a relief.

I can't believe how...

hard it's been sorting everything,

all the paperwork. We've killed a forest.

The new owners seem like nice people.

You'll get along just fine.

- Developers... apparently,

there's a boom coming. - Yeah.

Well, then, there's hope.

I'll take the bowls.

I'm afraid there's...

- there's not much in the way

of dessert. - Past the stars.

I have kept out enough...

enough tea and coffee to

get us through to Sunday.

What was that?

Just a hunter.

I'll tell them to shoo.

I'll be back.

Excuse me.

Something I said?

We should have

eaten outside.

I love you...

...and I'm with you.

I'm supposed to

say that to you.

I think I'll...

go see what's going on.

Eric.

No!

- Johan!

- No!

No!

No!

"He clasps the crag

with crooked hands... "

No!

"... close to the Sun

in lonely lands... "

"... ring'd... with the azure world,

he stands.

"The wrinkled sea...

"beneath him crawls;

He watches... "

No!

"... from his

mountain walls... "

"... and like a

thunderbolt he falls. "

Let's open the window...

...and get some

breeze through.

It's cool.
