in Babelsberg,
very close to Potsdam,
he lived alone in his cottage.
By some strange
coincidence, Babelsberg
has remained but not
touched by bombardment.
Only the cannonade was heard here,
which was more audible with each day.
There were few people
left here, just like in Berlin.
People went to the mountain villages,
fleeing from the air raids.
- Good evening, Mister Stirlitz.
- Good evening.
You can go home for tonight.
Thank you. Here's your mail.
I'll prepare your supper and leave.
All right.
- What time is it?
- About seven, Mister Stirlitz.
- And more exactly?
- Quarter to seven.
All right.
"Lucky girl, she can afford
those 'about seven"', -
Stirlitz thought to himself.
"The happiest people on earth are those
who can be
so casual about time,
without thinking of the consequences."
Moscow speaking, "North-1"
calling "Taiga-5".
Calling "Taiga-5", "Taiga-5".

It was a coded
message for him.
He's been waiting for it for 6 days
already.
He received such
coded messages once a month.
There were plenty of numbers.
The announcer recited them in her
habitual dry and precise manner.
To her those numbers were
just digits.
21st, a special attention to be paid
to the lower Jurassic deposits
in Quadrant AC-5
in the area of Mound 2569.
When packing rock samples
please keep to our standards.
Congratulations to Nikolayev
on the birth of his son.
Weight - 3.5 kg, height - 49.
Over. Will repeat in an hour.
The instruction received by Stirlitz
over Moscow Radio read as follows:
Center to Yustas.
According to our information,
some high-ranking officers
of the SD and SS Security have been
appearing in Sweden and Switzerland
trying to make contact
with the aids of Allen Dulles.
You must find out
if those attempts at contact are:
1. misinformation,
2. personal initiative of high-ranking
SD and SS officers,
3. execution of the Center's order.
In case these
SD and SS officers
were acting on orders from Berlin,
it is necessary to find out
who sent them on that mission.
Who of the Reich's leaders
in particular
is seeking contacts with the West.
Alex.
Alex was
the chief of Soviet intelligence.
And Yustas was
he, Standartenfuhrer Stirlitz,
known in Moscow as Colonel
Maksim Maksimovich Isayev
only to the highest officials.
Don't ever think of seconds haughtily.
The time will come you'll know this
self-evidence:
Like whistling bullets by your head
they flee,
Those moment, those moments, those
moments.
Each moment has a reason of its own,
lts own bells, its own notability,
Distributing to some shameful renown,
To some only infamy, to others -
immortality.
Of tiny moments even the rain is made.
The water pours from heaven in
a torrent,
And it may take a half-life just to wait
For it to come, your one and only
moment.
It comes like a gulp of water in
the prime
Of a scorching summer, comes like
an atonement.
But don't forget your duty at any time,
From the very first to the very last
moment.
Don't ever think of seconds haughtily.
The time will come you'll know this
self-evidence:
Like whistling bullets by your head
they flee,
Those moments, those moments, those
moments.
Those moments...
