We were also surprised about
the background in Cologne you had.

Yeah, you...

00:22:15,120 --> 00:22:16,680

you can see that behind his facade,
there's an emotional man sat there.

516
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,160
Whatever happened
between him and Krahl,

517
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,720
it's not a cold-blooded
or premeditated murder.

518
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:08,080
Well done for softening him up.
The photo of the mother surprised him.

519
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:09,040
Completely.

520
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:11,560
This is all shit, though.

521
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:14,280
He's not Krahl's murderer.

522
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:17,640
What about the woman and the guilt
he had? How would you explain that?

523
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:19,200
PROSKA: Maybe...

524
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:21,480
he thinks that she's hot?

525
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:26,840
You've had this strategy of how best
to confront him for weeks.

526
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:28,720
He's just at the point of confessing.

527
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,160
Can your ego let me
take this alone from here?

528
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:32,720
This is the end.

529
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:34,480
Just be kind to yourself.

530
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:37,960
And go to the toilet
as often as you want.

531
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:58,480
[SIREN PASSING OUTSIDE]

532
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:04,920
SCHULZ: OK?

533
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:08,640
Forget it.

534
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:11,040
Your lawyer?

535
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:14,320
No, they're not answering.

536
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:19,640
It's pretty funny for me.

537
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:22,600
If I'm honest.

538
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,920
From the West perspective,
the way the East was viewed back then.

539
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:30,600
I remember it like it was yesterday.

540
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:32,640
Ninth of November.

541
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:35,240
I was driving my father's Trabant,

542
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,960
but I couldn't get through to Bornholmer,

543
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:40,440
so I walked.

544
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:43,080
My first time in the West.
545
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:46,720
There were so many on the streets.
Everywhere.

546
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:48,560
Yes...

547
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:50,680
Do you know where I slept?

548
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:53,960
Tiergarten. On a bench.

549
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:55,520
Froze to death.

550
00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:01,200
"When they close everything up again
tomorrow, I'll stay here," I thought.

551
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:02,520
Well...

552
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:04,360
The reality came later.

553
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,760
Land of opportunity, my arse!

554
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:08,600
Not for us, anyway.

555
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:10,800
MÜLLER: Do you know why that is?

556
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,520
The West had an advantage. It's simple.

557
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:17,600
I mean, their mentality.
Knowing which way the wind blows.

558
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,920
But they also had a practical advantage.
By that I mean cash.
559
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:24,200
SCHULZ: A lot of good people
weren't born with those advantages

560
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:25,600
and were left behind.

561
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:27,440
MÜLLER: I couldn't agree more.

562
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:34,800
Take Krahl, for example...
and this is very interesting...

563
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:38,520
His father saw everything,
up close and personal, in '53.

564
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:40,280
National uprising, strikes.

565
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:42,160
The family never recovered.

566
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:46,440
Krahl had excellent grades,
but never the right political persuasion,

567
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:50,960
so higher education, graduation,
university... simply wasn't an option.

568
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:52,840
Just finding a job.

569
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:55,600
-How very sad.
-Yes.

570
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:57,080
And after reunification,

571
00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:00,960
he was in huge debt because he was led
to believe he needed to buy things.
572
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:02,600
A car, new furniture.

573
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:04,160
Job fell through.

574
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:06,520
And then he struggled as a handyman.

575
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,400
I think he could have
made something of himself.

576
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:13,600
If they'd have helped him.

577
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:17,040
Should have had a second chance.

578
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:19,040
Did he steal from you?

579
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:21,880
He was not a criminal, no.

580
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:25,440
Thirty years ago...

581
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:28,840
but one thing stays the same.

582
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:37,280
Differences of East and West
always show.

583
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:41,120
I see it, too.

584
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:43,200
You're not from the West.

585
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:50,760
It would be absurd to accuse me
of the murder of Jens Krahl
586
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:52,360
when it wasn't me.

587
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:54,480
I'm aware it wasn't you that killed him.

588
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:00,400
Who did it?

589
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:05,160
No one.

590
00:34:08,720 --> 00:34:10,480
Jens Krahl lives.

591
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,600
I am Jens Krahl.

592
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:28,280
And this is Jochen Müller.

593
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:37,679
He was a dentist in Cologne, 1988.

594
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:41,400
If it's still around,
you'll find his dental records.

595
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,480
That'll prove that I haven't lost my mind.

596
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,360
What you said just now was right.

597
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:56,719
My father didn't take anything
lying down.

598
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:59,719
And that was good,
but not really very smart.

599
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:02,120
We all ended up paying for it.
600
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:06,160
I really would have loved
to have gone to study somewhere,

601
00:35:06,240 --> 00:35:07,680
but no chance.

602
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:11,680
At 18, I moved to a place
in the Zionskirchplatz area.

603
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:14,040
Things were all shit,

604
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:17,160
but there were lots of people
who thought like I did.

605
00:35:17,720 --> 00:35:20,480
So we all decided to apply for our visas,

606
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:24,240
all the while selling T-shirts
with Western motifs, all underhand.

607
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:29,000
And soon after my visa was ready,
I'd already packed...

608
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:30,520
the fall of the Wall.

609
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:35,440
The feeling of terror there was...

610
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,520
Hundreds of visits for absolutely nothing.

611
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:40,560
All for nothing, you understand me?

612
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:43,760
And then the shit that followed,
I fell for it.
613
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:46,080
Should have known better.

614
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:47,520
My father, dead.

615
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:49,600
My mother, you've already seen.

616
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:53,960
And then the first ones came,
like Müller. The rich guys.

617
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:58,040
Bought my apartment like it was nothing.
So easy to do.

618
00:35:58,120 --> 00:35:59,720
He was the same age as me.

619
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:03,360
But it was as if he'd come
from another planet or something.

620
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:05,920
-So did he call you?
-Yeah, of course.

621
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,120
I was employed to do the renovation.

622
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:10,280
The whole apartment.
Money was no object.

623
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:11,960
So an arsehole, yeah?

624
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:15,560
Arsehole? No, I don't think so.

625
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:17,560
He always mentioned his father,

626
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:20,520
that his father was a certain type,
not in a good way.

627
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:22,720
And when he finally died, he was glad.

628
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:26,520
But what I'd have given
to have my father back again...

629
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:30,640
Was it so, that in the West,
all their fathers...

630
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:32,440
I don't know.

631
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:36,200
You must have seen
that Müller was practically alone,

632
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:38,040
and didn't know anyone in Berlin?

633
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:39,400
Yeah...

634
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:42,880
Not really.
I wasn't particularly interested.

635
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:45,880
I had my job to do, and was being paid.

636
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:47,000
Right.

637
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:50,800
It's not what you think.
He was no arsehole, just had no idea.

638
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:53,040
Like a spoiled only child.

639
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:57,000
He had a ridiculous amount of cash
but it meant nothing.

640
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:00,200
I think that he would never
have pulled it off.

641
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:03,320
Did he make a move on you?

642
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:06,680
-That gay story, you mean?
-Yes.

643
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:10,400
Until you brought it up
I'd never heard about it.

644
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:15,000
At the end of my last week, he came
and told me he might be taking a trip.

645
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:18,040
So I said, OK, good,
I would come back later.

646
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:23,720
But he stood there and gave me
the keys and 200 marks, told me to go.

647
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:26,080
That was all he did.

648
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:30,240
At the time my attitude was such
that I thought he wouldn't notice anyway

649
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:33,600
if the window frames
had one or two coats of varnish.

650
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:37,240
Whatever. So I didn't go
for a couple of days.

651
00:37:37,720 --> 00:37:39,680
On the third day, I thought...
652
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:42,600
I don't know, I guess I had
a bad conscience

653
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:44,480
so I went there

654
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:48,120
and started the window frames.
Three days.

655
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:51,040
Then I get to the bathroom.

656
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:56,040
Five days he'd been lying there
as I worked, next to him.

657
00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:01,000
Heart attack? A stroke? No idea.

658
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:05,040
There were candles that he had lit,
melted right down.

659
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:09,480
On the toilet lid there was...
cocaine, speed, heroin?

660
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:11,240
I don't know, no idea.

661
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:14,920
And I've been
varnishing the window frames.

662
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:17,640
Ten out of ten people would,
at that very moment,

663
00:38:17,720 --> 00:38:19,440
choose to call the police.

664
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:23,680
Don't tell me that it wasn't even
in the back of your mind not to call them.
665
00:38:24,240 --> 00:38:26,280
No, I wasn't thinking about anything.

666
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:29,360
I went into the living room
to use the phone.

667
00:38:30,240 --> 00:38:33,200
And that was, truthfully,
the first time I changed my mind.

668
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:35,560
I noticed that he had left
his keys to his car.

669
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:39,040
And in his coat in the hallway,
his wallet.

670
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:40,600
At least 100 in there.

671
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:44,760
Then I thought, well, he'd been in there
the whole time and nobody knew.

672
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:47,080
Another day
wouldn't make any difference.

673
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:52,520
I packed a bag for myself with his stuff.
Took some of his clothes.

674
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:55,600
Some things from the kitchen
for my mother.

675
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:57,280
Some good brands in there.

676
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:02,360
"And tomorrow I'll do it.
Tomorrow I'll call the police," I thought.

677
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:08,240
I even took off
my paint-splattered clothes

678
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:09,400
and put on some of his,

679
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:12,040
and then the doorbell suddenly rang.

680
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:14,200
And you answered? Why?

681
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:17,240
Well, Wiebke doesn't give up!

682
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:20,960
She knocked and called,
she'd heard me walking

683
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:22,800
and had a quick question.

684
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:27,640
I had all the doubts.

685
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:32,440
I thought, "What if, for whatever reason,
she calls the police on me?"

686
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:34,600
How would that look?
You understand me?

687
00:39:35,720 --> 00:39:37,680
So I opened the door and...

688
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:41,080
-It was your wife-to-be?
-Yeah, Wiebke, asking for flour.

689
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:44,880
While I was rummaging around,
she came in,

690
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:47,160
and I'm thinking I've fucked it.

00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:53,840
She thought you were Müller.

693
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:56,760
Yeah, of course.
What else would she be thinking?

694
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:00,440
We flew to Spain.

696
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:06,520
I didn't get to sleep
for nights after that.

Not from what you're thinking.

698
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:11,000
There were lots of Germans.

699
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:15,800
A few came in their Trabant cars
as far as Valencia,

700
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:17,880
and sleeping on the beaches there.

"Please, thank you, Mr. Müller."

I couldn't be Jens any more.

706
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:39,480
One morning,
I went to the consulate and said,

707
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:41,880
"I'm sorry, my passport is lost."

708
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:45,760
A few weeks later it was official.

00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:56,200

You'll see that I'm not always
as tidy as I should be.

723
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:13,320
Do you mean that you bill
more than you should?

724
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:15,400
I'm sure it pretty much adds up,

725
00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:17,720
