Labyrinth of Lies

1

There is no land more beautiful

at this time

then ours, so far and wide...

Peter.

Do not worry.

Adenauer is doing that already.

He is the captain, isn't he?

I have two rascals in 6-B.

Had not seen anything like it,

totally wild.

And the parents do nothing.

Nowadays it's like that.

Hey sport!

Need a light?

-Thank you.

-No problem.

LABYRINTH OF LIES

Your honor,

according to paragraph 2,

second section of the Constitution,

human life is the highest right

inalienable by excellence.

The office of the prosecutor is convinced

that the defendant acted

with premeditation and malice aforethought,

which are the conditions

to paragraph 211, murder.

The allegation of the defense

that he acted under duress

is not justified.

Therefore, the prosecution calls

the maximum penalty:

life imprisonment.

-Good afternoon, Radmann.

-Good afternoon.

How were your first few weeks?

Very exciting.

I only deal with traffic tickets.

We all passed through it.

In a year or two you

will get something decent.

That's great.

...women can work only

with consent from her husband.

And now, Vico Torriani.

ALWAYS DO THE RIGHT THING.

YOUR FATHER.

Mr. prosecutor, what an entrance.

-I'm sorry.

-We've started without you.

The defendant, Marlene Wondrak,

acknowledges the fault,

but cannot pay

the fine of 50 D-Mark.

It's the car of my boss. I don't want her to

know and I only have 30.

-Mr. Radmann.

- Yes?

With your permission

we will reduce the fine to 25 D-Mark.

And a promise that she will use her little

head to concentrate on the traffic

if she cannot avoid driving.

Do you agree?

No.

Excuse me?

The amount of the fine is fixed in the law.

We can make no exceptions.

But I don't have the money.

The law does not allow it.

You clause stallion!!!

Are you going to send me to jail for 3 days?

No, but...

Well, mr prosecutor,

what do we do now?

The fine is paid. Can I go now

or do I have to end up in jail?

Don't think that I am grateful.

You will get your money back.

As soon as I have it.

Unbearable man!

Damn, she's so spicy.

It is a disgrace,

it is a scandal, outrageous!

There is a killer loose

on the street.

Mr. Kirsch has recognized him.

We've been to 3 police stations

but they don't care.

Good morning, Mr. Gnielka.

Looking for a story for your newspaper?

I already have a story, prosecutor.

There is a killer on the loose,

he was a member of the Waffen-SS

in Auschwitz.

Now he teaches children.

Are you interested?

What a zealos man you are!

Let's go, Gnielka.

This is pointless.

Alois Schulz, Unterscharfhrer

in the Waffen-SS,

now teaches history in Goethe-Gymnasium.

Are you interested?

You?

And what about you?

Get out!

Come on, Simon,

let's go before I vomit.

Throw this away, please.

The show is over, gentlemen.

Back to work now.

- Where is the Office of Education?

-In the Rmer.

I suspect something.

And I do not like it.

-The Club will win the league.

-If Egon stays in shape.

I have checked the record

of that Schulz, it's missing from 39 to 45.

Whom?

The teacher, that the journalist mentioned.

Well, that's ambitious.

After 45 the Yankees

confiscated tons of files.

Denazification by the allies is a fact.

Gnielka is a unpatriotic mercenary.

Don't let him fool you.

Excuse me,

document center?

-Second floor.

-Thank you.

Sorry, but the center is not

open to everyone.

I am investigating someone.

Now he is a teacher. I need to know

what he was doing during the war.

He was a Nazi.

You were all Nazis.

In the Eastern sector,

now you are all communists.

Jesus, you Germans!

If little green men from Mars landed tomorrow,

you would all become green.

Kid, you are very young.

But your father was a Nazi.

What? No. He hated the Nazis.

Yeah, right. After 45 everybody is

suddenly in the resistance against Hitler.

And you are here by which authority?

State prosecutor's office, Frankfurt.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Therefore, I request three years

of imprisonment.

Good job, Haller.

Mr. attorney general, If there is nothing more,

I would like to finish the meeting.

Mr. chief prosecutor.

Yes, Mr. Radmann?

-That teacher, Schulz...

- What Schulz?

The case of Mr. Gnielka.

I beg your pardon?

I have researched t.

Schulz was in the Waffen-SS.

He consealed it when

was hired in 1947.

He shouldn't be a teacher.

Here is my report.

Let me see.

Yes, that's interesting.

You know what? I will send it to

the Ministry of Education.

Gentlemen, next Wednesday,

at the same time.

Your mother has left this for you.

- What? When?

-A moment ago.

She's been waiting for you, but your father

was honking outside, so impatient.

Like all men!

He is not my father.

My father is missing since 45.

Eastern front.

I'm sorry.

- He really said that?

- Word of honor.

Mr. Gnielka.

- Do you remember me?

- I know who you are.

I have taken care of Schulz.

The ministry is suspending him.

Suspending?

What is he accused of?

You believe he killed someone?

He was at Auschwitz.

Don't you know what that means?

Wasn't that a protective custody camp?

Trust me, they did not protect anyone there.

I can't believe it!

Watch this.

Have you ever heard of Auschwitz?

-No.

-That's what I'm talking about.

- Does Auschwitz mean anything to you?

- No, and I have work.

- How old are you?

- 20.

-And you've never heard of Auschwitz, right?

-I have not.

The greatest catastrophe of humanity,

Is forgotten and hushed up.

What are you talking about?

A German prosecutor who knows

nothing about Auschwitz - that's a shame.

And if they suspend Schulz,

I'll eat my hat.

We do not have any guides on Poland.

Not even one.

And regarding that...

-Auschwitz.

-Yes, Auschwitz.

There are two books about it.

One is no longer in the catalog

and the other should be in Kassel.

- Should I order it?

-Yes, please.

It will take 8-10 weeks.

How can I help you?

Mr. attorney general, can we talk?

Perfect, I want one such as this.

What's going on?

Schulz is still teaching.

I went to the school.

Acute lack of teachers.

It is up to the ministry.

It is beyond my competence

and even more of yours.

But Schulz served in Auschwitz.

All of them had camps.

Americans, Russians.

I spent half a year in a French one.

Don't tell my wife,

but they cooked better than her.

I was forced to see a movie

about it after the war.

It is all propaganda.

The winners invent stories.

We've lost the war.

Why to snoop around now?

Hello. You were right.

- What do you mean?

-The teacher still teaches.

What can we do...

The journalist was waiting for you

in your office.

Funny guy.

"The young and ambitious prosecutor Radmann

investigated the past

of the teacher Schulz.

The ministry of education

received the report on march 25

but ignoring his membership in

the Waffen-SS."

And so on. "Intolerable scandal."

Oh boy.

I would not like to be you

right now.

The general wants to see you.

Sr. Radmann, the article

contains internal information.
