or just mine?

What is he so afraid of?

- The gallows, where he'll end up.

The Emperor wants his nephew

avenged. Or you won't exist anymore?

The report will be on my desk by ten o'clock

tomorrow. Or you won't exist anymore.

Looters, Pfeffer.

Serbian looters.

Where's Franz Ofner?

Gone.

- And his family?

Who gave the order?

What?

Don't play dumb, Strametz.

Who gave the order?

Be glad we need your signature,

you dirty Jew.

What happened to you?

Look, the press is convinced Belgrade

is behind the murder.

That doesn't make any sense.

- What?

They want it to be the Serbs.

- It was them, too.

Princip, abrinovi, Illi,

all 'i'es.

Who did it then?

- Don't know.

It doesn't matter anymore.

Serbia must die, there will be war.

I can stop it.

- By yourself?

Germany gives Austria

a blank check, fraternal support.

The Prussians are eager to pounce.

The weak will

be swept away like weeds.

This is necessary for public health.

- Do you believe in racial cleansing?

You don't, I suppose.

I understand that.

Don't you care about the truth?

- Yes.

But all in good time.

I really like you, Leo.

So, I give you this advice,

let it go.

Enjoy your promotion.

And your cute Serbian.

How do you know about Marija?

Pure deduction.

You're smart. Just now you're

interested in Serbia?

You don't just think with the

organ between your ears.

Take care of yourself.

Pardon.

Please.

- What is it?

A telegram from the bank.

About Illi's banknotes.

They were issued here last month

- To whom?

The army, for urgent medical supplies.

Who's responsible?

- The health officer.

Have him brought here.

Franz Ofner, the driver, was killed.

By the Serbs it seems.

Then there must be a record of him.

Dalibor Nikoli, Jeftanovi's clerk.

- What's the matter with him?

He was arrested yesterday.

He was looting.

Has he confessed?

- No, but eyewitnesses saw him.

In front of Franz Ofner's house.

Where is he?

- He was executed.

The Jeftanovi family are under

house arrest.

Who gave that order?

- Fiedler.

Do you want to blackmail me?

What does the war with Serbia have

to do with the railroad?

You invested heavily in Turkish

equities, huh?

Who in Germany or Austria would

invest so much in Turkish railways...

without a connection to Berlin?

- I understand it, the railroad.

First class to Baghdad?

I'm filthy rich?

Nice idea. You really believe that?

A war always distorts the economy

and is very harmful.

That's why it should be short

and successful.

And then Europe is ours.

- And then?

France and Russia hem us in.

In the south you have the Serbs.

That must stop, we need more space.

To breathe and prosper.

And who can hold back German vigour?

You perhaps?

Marija Jeftanovi. Her house arrest

has to be lifted, now.

And her father's too.

That won't happen, they could flee.

They have connections in Paris.

- Why were they charged?

They're Serbian, and presumably

they work with the enemy.

They're suspected of treason.

Unfortunately, the penalty is death.

You need my signature. Without the

report no one will launch an invasion.

Austria can't rely on suspicions.

You immensely overestimate your

importance.

Will you sign then?

I understand.

If one of the accused

talks during the trial...

And tells the truth, your reputation

will be tarnished, not mine.

Your reputation can't be tarnished.

It's been sh*t from birth.

Let Marija Jeftanovi go, then

I'll sign the indictment.

So it comes down to love?

If it touches your kind,

there is a lot to pick up.

Your cultural heritage.

The Jeftanovi family will leave

today.

Glad you finally understand,

Pfeffer.

I'll draw up the papers

today.

Everyone will be happy when

the Serbian pigs leave.

And you take this to Wiesner,

personally.

And with a smile.

They've picked up your family, huh.

That's why you wouldn't talk.

Are they still alive?

You'll be executed.

Do you want to tell me something?

He wanted to avoid it.

- Who?

Pasi. The attack.

Nicola Pasi?

The prime minister of Serbia?

So the Serbian government was

against the attack?

Who else was involved?

Outside Strametz, Fiedler and you.

Who gave the instructions?

I can't name names.

I'll die anyway.

Like all my loved ones.

It's good Franz Ferdinand's dead.

Belgrade will fall.

And those rich bastards, along

with Belgrade.

Like here, like everywhere.

And then?

- Then the workers will reign.

Not you, because you won't be

here any longer.

Pfeffer wants to see you.

What is that?

- The indictment, for Vienna.

Finally.

Very good. So your doubts were

dispelled?

The attackers were guilty, the

indictment is legally defensible.

But I'll prepare a report, about

the background circumstances.

Yeah, do that.

The fifth army will trek

over the mountains to Sabac.

So there will be war?

Most certainly. Our ultimatum

to the Serbs was formulated...

so Belgrade couldn't possibly

accept.

Then it'll finally happen.

And trial for the attackers?

That will happen in its own time.

Now there are more important things.

I was looking for you already.

Thank you.

What is that?

- The name of the health officer.

He was summoned by the police.

Give me the corresponding file.

He's a health officer, he

must have personnel file.

These tickets are valid for Trieste.

You can purchase new tickets there.

Your passports.

No one will stop you.

And you? You come with us?

The Austrians want to destroy us

all. And you too.

It's just a small group.

Warmongers, lunatics.

They think they're above the law.

We should go.

Have you thought about it yet?

About what?

- The children.

I don't know.

In this day and time?

There will be better times.

When?

- Someday.

I hope so.

The Sattler file.

Who blackened his name?

- It's on the last page.

Military intelligence.

Shall we play a game?

Have they left?

Very good.

When were you appointed as

a health officer?

Three weeks ago.

The cars didn't take the wrong route.

Franz Ofner was instructed

to stop at the Latin Bridge.

Where Princip was waiting for him.

You gave Illi the money

to organize everything.

There were few people

along the route, all Serbs.

But they were shitting their pants

as usual.

Young fanatics planning something,

and it was too much for them.

Who are you really?

Herbert Sattler, doctor.

And what else?

What do you want to know? The details?

Better not.

I'll write the whole truth.

The truth you're talking about,

doesn't exist.

It was all fabricated.

By a few people.

- By you?

Among others.

He wanted to avoid the war.

Franz Ferdinand.

That's why he had to go.

You overestimate him.

And his plans in general.

You can always find a reason to

declare war if you want to.

Be happy, soon you'll see your

Marija again.

In Paris,...

Germany.

Governor, Director General.

- What is that?

The report on the attack.

It was totally different.

Really?

Please read it.

I will do so.

I recorded I handed it over
