soldier
an hour ago.
The girl was with a baby.
They seemed to be in a hurry.
What did the soldier wear?
What? A uniform.
Sure he wasn't in his underpants.
What kind of uniform?
Field uniform, that's the point.
All right, field uniform.
I thought your soldiers
wore only black...
I don't give a damn about
what you thought.
What car did they get in?
A bus.
- A bus?
- Yes. Number 17.
- Where did they go?
- Over there, to downtown.
Scholz.
Quick, send details
along the bus 17 line.
The <> and the guard.
What?
I don't know his name.
Find out what his name is!
That's first.
Second.
Please tell Bittner
to get his file right away.
Where he's from, where his family is.
In short, get me all his
service record, quick.
If you find out that he,
at least once, was at the place Stirlitz
had visited, inform me immediately.
It's Mueller.
Alert the police on all subway lines
about the woman with a child.
Give her description, tell them
she's a thief or a murderer.
Let them arrest her.
If they make mistakes and grab more
than enough, I'll pardon them.
The important thing is not to miss
the one I'm waiting for.
Orphanage,
Mozartstrasse 7.
Excuse me, I'd like
to see my daughter.
The children are being fed now,
and everybody is busy.
But I've come from the front
just for a few hours.
I'm very sorry,
but now all the children...
Is there anybody from the management?
Nobody. Everybody is either
at the front or with the children.
I'm sorry again.
When can I see my daughter?
Come back in half an hour
and we'll try to help you.
What?
It's bad.
Only in half an hour.
We'll wait.
Nothing can happen,
they don't know where we are.
Yes, but we should get out of
the city as soon as possible.
I know how they can search.
Perhaps you'd better go?
And I'll catch up with you,
if everything works out.
No, I'm not going anywhere,
I'll wait for you.
This...
you got it at the front?
What?
This.
Yes.
At the front.
Why?
No, nothing.
Near Vitebsk.
I was fighting there.
And where's...
the mother...
of your child?
She left.
What do you mean, left?
Just that simple.
When she found out I was
in the hospital, seriously wounded,
she'd lost all interest in me.
She took the child to the orphanage
and went away...
with an officer from the Luftwaffe.
Let's agree where
we meet, and you'll go.
I'm not going anywhere.
I'll wait for you here.
Besides, I have nowhere to go
in this city.
Yeah...
Mueller had been absent over
an hour now.
Stirlitz felt Mueller
got something going wrong.
Something has happened.
Yes, something went wrong.
Something didn't gel with them.
Something has happened.
In any case,
I got a time-out.
I have to use this time-out.
So...
I have to give
a credible and exact explanation
of where,
when
and why
my fingerprints could be
left on that case.
Where, when and why?
I have to recall that day
in every detail,
I have to prove that I happened to be
near Erwin's house by chance.
It was on the 21st.
In the morning, about 8 o'clock.
I went to Erwin
for the answer from the Center.
I got stuck on Pariserplatz.
They were clearing
the street after a bombing.
And I was stalled for 20 minutes.
Fine.
Go on.
Go on.
I headed towards Dorotheestrasse.
I drove down Bayertestrasse,
turned left to go straight
to Dorotheestrasse.
But the police didn't let me through,
because the alley was
blocked by fire engines.
So I had to
make a detour
via Koepinegstrasse,
passing by the barracks.
So I made a detour
via Koepineg.
There I was stopped too.
I was actually stopped there,
that guy who stopped me.
I must remember.
I must remember
what I thought about him then.
I tried not to think
about Erwin and Kathe.
And suddenly I caught myself
at thinking about that guy
as of consumptive.
Yes, he was coughing,
that dry cough of his.
I don't remember the other guy.
But this one coughed all the time.
I remember it very well.
Yes.
