WEBVTT - Episode 7: Fodor's Guide to Berlin, Chapter 1 0:00:05.400 --> 0:00:10.360 Berlin, Germany, is a destination for any traveler interested in history. 0:00:11.160 --> 0:00:14.440 Its foundation begins in the fourteenth century, when it was 0:00:14.480 --> 0:00:18.720 the capital of the Kingdom of Prussia. Prussia grew rapidly 0:00:18.760 --> 0:00:21.720 in the following centuries and formed the basis of the 0:00:21.720 --> 0:00:26.000 German Empire in eighteen seventy one. The German Empire would 0:00:26.040 --> 0:00:29.440 survive until it was defeated in nineteen eighteen in World 0:00:29.520 --> 0:00:34.080 War One. Around this time, Berlin also became a major 0:00:34.159 --> 0:00:38.720 world city, known for its leadership roles in everything from science, government, 0:00:39.200 --> 0:00:43.239 the arts, and beyond. This cultural emergence was marked by 0:00:43.280 --> 0:00:47.320 the Weimar Republic the inter war period between Germany's defeat 0:00:47.360 --> 0:00:51.360 in World War One and Hitler's rise to power. During 0:00:51.400 --> 0:00:55.959 the Weimar years, Berlin was fertile ground for intellectuals, artists, 0:00:56.000 --> 0:01:00.840 and innovators across many fields, including many Jewish Scots. But 0:01:01.000 --> 0:01:03.920 with the rise of Nazism and Hitler's ascent in nineteen 0:01:04.000 --> 0:01:07.480 thirty three, many of these prominent people fled Germany for 0:01:07.520 --> 0:01:11.480 the United Kingdom and the United States. Thus began the 0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:15.880 Second World War, and Berlin was a critical battleground, heavily 0:01:15.920 --> 0:01:19.880 bombed during the intervening years until it finally capitulated in 0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:24.120 nineteen forty five. By then up to a third of 0:01:24.160 --> 0:01:27.479 Berlin had been destroyed, and the country as well as 0:01:27.480 --> 0:01:32.000 the city, was split in half. West Berlin was controlled 0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:34.959 by the Allied forces of the UK, France and the 0:01:35.080 --> 0:01:38.720 United States, whereas East Berlin was the prize of the 0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:43.440 Soviet Union. There were many battles, strikes, and air raids 0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:48.360 before they settled into a tense but agreeable standoff. Now 0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:51.200 in nineteen sixty one, it is a city and a 0:01:51.200 --> 0:01:55.400 people divided, with two different souls, a rich history and 0:01:55.480 --> 0:01:56.800 an uncertain future. 0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:04.760 Mina tormin untaren v. Now we cannot descent into bel 0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:08.480 and Germany's Templehof airport. Please close your trade tables and 0:02:08.520 --> 0:02:12.000 bring your seats into the upright position. Please remain seated 0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:14.480 with your seat built fastened until we arrive safely at 0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:17.040 the gate. It's been a pleasure having you on board today. 0:02:19.560 --> 0:02:23.400 Honey, you're squeezing my hand a little tight. Are you 0:02:23.440 --> 0:02:25.760 all right? You're not becoming a nervous flyer, are you? 0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:26.080 Oh? 0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:28.200 It's not dead, then, what is it? 0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:33.640 Flying into Tempelhoff always freaks me out. A former nazierport 0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:35.560 surrounded by a communist country. 0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:37.600 None of it is a good place to be. 0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:41.320 You don't have to worry about being near communist territories anymore. 0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:46.200 You're a US citizen now. Remember I know I married 0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:47.200 you for a reason. 0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:53.359 It's just that I escaped the communist dictatorship once. I 0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:55.040 really don't want to do it again. 0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:57.919 You won't have to. JFK has made it clear the 0:02:58.040 --> 0:03:01.120 US isn't leaving the area. If Templehoff was safe enough 0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:03.360 for the Berlin Airlift, it's safe enough for US. 0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:05.280 I suppose you're right. 0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:13.079 I am, and it's a little late anyway. Tempelhoff Airport 0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:16.120 was the first airport in Berlin. It was built on 0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:19.680 what was originally knights Templar land in medieval Berlin, from 0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:22.880 which it gets its name. It first opened in nineteen 0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:26.680 oh nine, when French aviator Armand Zipfel made the first 0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:30.440 flight demonstration at Tempelhoff, followed by Orville Wright later that 0:03:30.680 --> 0:03:34.960 same year. During the Nazi era, the airport was expanded 0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:38.080 and its halls and adjoining buildings were intended to become 0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:41.480 the gateway to Europe and a symbol of Hitler's world 0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:45.120 capital Germania. It is still known as one of the 0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:50.080 largest built entities worldwide, and its central location just minutes 0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:53.080 from the Berlin city center, led it to quickly become 0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:57.000 one of the world's busiest airports. That is until it 0:03:57.120 --> 0:04:00.360 closed during World War II and only reopened to civil 0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:04.040 aviation in April nineteen forty five. But just a few 0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:08.440 years later, in June nineteen forty eight, Soviet authorities, claiming 0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:12.560 technical difficulties, halted all traffic by land and by water 0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:16.400 into or out of the Western controlled sectors of Berlin. 0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:20.560 The only remaining access routes into the city were three 0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:24.880 twenty mile wide air corridors across the Soviet zone of occupation. 0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:28.680 Faced with the choice of abandoning the city or attempting 0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:31.520 to supply its inhabitants with the necessities of life by air, 0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:36.040 the Western Powers chose the latter course. Thus began the 0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:40.160 Berlin Airlift, in which thousands of US and UK aircrafts 0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:44.560 carried tons of food, coal, and other essential supplies into 0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:48.120 the city through the airport. As the Cold War continued, 0:04:48.600 --> 0:04:53.240 Tempelhoff remained the main terminal for American military transport aircrafts 0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:55.000 accessing West Berlin. 0:04:58.320 --> 0:05:01.279 The one thing I like about this is how close 0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:03.440 it is to the city it should only be a 0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:05.320 five minute taxi riter to the Kimpinski. 0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:08.600 We could always take the scenic route. The architecture of 0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:10.320 this airport is really something. 0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:13.039 Grab your bags, Darling, let's go, Maxnell. 0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:23.599 The Kempinski Hotel sits on Kerferstendam Street known as Kudam 0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:27.560 for short, which is the crown jewel of capitalism in 0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:32.640 West Berlin, a street filled with fine dining, luxury shopping 0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:38.360 and the finest hotels, a bright, colorful spectacle to contrast 0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:43.520 with the drab and colorless Soviet East. First established in 0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:47.000 eighteen ninety seven as a restaurant, the Kampinski quickly became 0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:50.520 a beacon of taste and hospitality, keeping pace with the 0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:54.440 trends in fashion and design that define each era. It 0:05:54.600 --> 0:05:58.240 housed famous parties and performances, and in nineteen fifty two 0:05:58.680 --> 0:06:01.799 it became the first new luxury hotel in the city. 0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:05.840 Right away it was the place to be for Berlin's 0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:10.960 fashion forward residence. Heads of state, celebrities and Nobel Prize 0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:15.920 winners like Albert Einstein, Ava Gardner, John Wayne, Alfred Hitchcock, 0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:20.320 John F. Kennedy and Sophia Learn, along with many others, 0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:27.160 were drawn to the exclusive hotel in Berlin, Golton talk. 0:06:27.200 --> 0:06:30.320 How may I help you, mister and missus Vodor checking 0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:31.120 in Yes. 0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:32.440 Of course, fun moment. 0:06:33.320 --> 0:06:35.919 If you'll bring your bags to your room and four doors. 0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:39.240 This envelope arrived for you, and this package for you 0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:42.120 door donkishen Oh, it's heavy. 0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:45.159 Must be the galleys for the London Book and revised 0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:46.200 prousor Monte Carlo. 0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:48.120 I know you're eager to take a look. 0:06:48.600 --> 0:06:51.040 I'm also eager for a drink.

Hope this message finds you well. 0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:24.520 As you may now know, the Soviet's best forger, known 0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:26.880 as code named doctor Jevago, is willing to defect to 0:07:26.920 --> 0:07:29.600 the USA and reveal the identities of all the Soviet 0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:32.280 spies he has forged passports for as they use Berlin 0:07:32.360 --> 0:07:34.600 to slip into the West with other Germans and refugees. 0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:37.680 It may also interest you to know Jevago was a 0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:40.360 close friend of your father during the war. In fact, 0:07:40.440 --> 0:07:43.360 they disappeared together and if anyone knows where Pathfinder is, 0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:47.320 it would be him. Your mission is to enter East 0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:49.840 Berlin under cover as a travel writer.

Once you are on 0:07:55.400 --> 0:07:57.160 the other side of the wall, you'll meet up with 0:07:57.200 --> 0:07:59.800 Shivago as well as his nephew and escort them across 0:07:59.840 --> 0:08:03.200 the border back to the west. Savago has already forged 0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:05.600 them the proper passports and paperwork, and they have a 0:08:05.640 --> 0:08:08.440 friend at the checkpoint, so it will be a smooth transaction. 0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:12.320 You will just be there for additional cover.

The 0:12:51.720 --> 0:12:55.120 loss of this asset could compromise thetententeities of hundreds of 0:12:55.200 --> 0:12:58.319 agents and missions. Jeevago is too important a resource to 0:12:58.400 --> 0:13:01.360 fall into the hands of the enemy. We strongly suggest 0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:05.720 immediate protection and transfer, or, if all else fails. 0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:10.559 Elimination understood, Commandant, I will send my best men to 0:13:10.720 --> 0:13:11.760 secure an asset. 0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:26.480 It's almost as if the vibrancy of West Berlin is 0:13:26.600 --> 0:13:30.520 to compensate for the utter drabness of East Berlin. A 0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:36.520 dark gray place where the citizen's disposition matches the stern architecture. 0:13:37.400 --> 0:13:40.040 The border can be crossed legally only through a limited 0:13:40.120 --> 0:13:44.719 number of air, road, rail and river routes. Travelers to 0:13:44.840 --> 0:13:48.959 and from Denmark, Sweden, Poland and Czechoslovakia can pass fairly 0:13:49.080 --> 0:13:52.680 easily through East Germany, but access rights for non Germans 0:13:53.000 --> 0:13:57.000 are otherwise very restricted. If you are thinking of entering, 0:13:57.320 --> 0:13:59.680 you must submit an itinerary to the East German State 0:13:59.720 --> 0:14:03.559 Tourist Office up to nine weeks in advance, pay booking fees, 0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:07.280 and register with the local police on arrival. You may 0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:11.280 purchase fuel only from specially approved petrol stations and must 0:14:11.320 --> 0:14:15.400 spend a prescribed minimum of money each day. You are 0:14:15.440 --> 0:14:19.160 also required to stay in state owned inter hotels, which 0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:22.920 do not come cheap. If you feel intent on seeing 0:14:22.960 --> 0:14:25.520 East Berlin and have the foresight to plan ahead and 0:14:25.640 --> 0:14:28.760 the cash to spend, do not expect a warm welcome 0:14:28.920 --> 0:14:32.560 or inspiring cuisine awaiting you on the other side. With 0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:36.840 this approach to hospitality, it's no surprise the East has 0:14:36.960 --> 0:14:42.520 not become a bustling hub of tourist activity. Step forward, 0:14:45.800 --> 0:14:49.480 state your name, Eugene Fodor. I'm a travel writer, and 0:14:49.600 --> 0:14:53.160 this is my associate and photographer, Rebecca Ralston. Bus is 0:14:53.240 --> 0:14:56.280 your business. I own a guidebook company and we're here 0:14:56.360 --> 0:14:58.320 to show the world why they should visit East Berlin. 0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:02.880 Of course, here you are. 0:15:03.800 --> 0:15:07.960 We are so excited to see East Berlin. Our readers 0:15:08.080 --> 0:15:12.040 are going to feel so special. Do you mind if 0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:12.760 I take your picture? 0:15:12.920 --> 0:15:17.520 I've always had a thing for men in uniform, smile. 0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:22.360 Or not, very handsome. 0:15:23.160 --> 0:15:29.400 Doncashin your visas are good for five hours. If you 0:15:29.480 --> 0:15:32.360 do not exit East Berlin before they expire, you will 0:15:32.400 --> 0:15:35.120 be vested. We promise not to cause any trouble. 0:15:36.040 --> 0:15:43.960 You may go through. Welcome to East Berlin. Quite serious 0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:45.040 around here, aren't they. 0:15:45.640 --> 0:15:48.760 This station is where tens of thousands of East Germans 0:15:48.800 --> 0:15:51.840 have been affecting West. It's mostly the young and educated, 0:15:52.320 --> 0:15:56.320 a perfect loophole in their closed borders. It also happens 0:15:56.360 --> 0:15:59.120 to be the perfect place for spies to cross on 0:15:59.280 --> 0:15:59.880 both sides. 0:16:00.880 --> 0:16:03.800 So now that we're through, where are we going? 0:16:03.960 --> 0:16:06.560 We're meeting Jivago in his print shop at Hakkashov. 0:16:07.080 --> 0:16:07.720 It's in Mitta. 0:16:08.240 --> 0:16:16.800 Oh great, We're only a few blocks away exactly. The 0:16:16.920 --> 0:16:21.000 Hakshehofa is the renowned complex of courtyards spread around the 0:16:21.080 --> 0:16:26.120 Shoenenfiatal Quarter, located outside the city walls for centuries. It 0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:28.680 was renamed the barn Quarter at the end of the 0:16:28.720 --> 0:16:32.320 seventeenth century, when barnes were removed from the city center 0:16:32.840 --> 0:16:36.000 and moved here. The fortunes of the area began to 0:16:36.120 --> 0:16:38.920 change at the beginning of the twentieth century when large 0:16:38.960 --> 0:16:42.600 numbers of Jews from Eastern Europe settled here, giving rise 0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:47.840 to major changes. Shops and businesses began to open, turning 0:16:47.880 --> 0:16:53.280 the area into a hive of activity. Opening onto Rosenthalestrase 0:16:53.680 --> 0:16:58.000 is a complex of eight interconnected courtyards and originally built 0:16:58.080 --> 0:17:00.880 as a market in nineteen oh seven by the architect 0:17:01.040 --> 0:17:04.960 Kurt Bard. The main entrance is at number forty, a 0:17:05.040 --> 0:17:08.960 building with a splendid Art nouveau facade, takes you into 0:17:09.000 --> 0:17:13.600 the first courtyard, featuring buildings with walls covered in colored tiles. 0:17:14.480 --> 0:17:17.880 From here you can explore the other courtyards, which form 0:17:17.960 --> 0:17:23.040 a microcosm of the city. The Hakashehoffa is also a 0:17:23.200 --> 0:17:27.240 monument for Berlin's Jewish community because in nineteen thirty nine 0:17:27.359 --> 0:17:30.119 it belonged to a Jewish businessman and was home to 0:17:30.160 --> 0:17:33.120 the Jewish school until the owner was compelled to sell 0:17:33.160 --> 0:17:37.480 it to the Nazis and the school was evicted and demolished. 0:17:44.119 --> 0:17:47.240 Villukomen, that's all right, allowed these customers. 0:17:47.960 --> 0:17:48.760 You may take your break. 0:17:48.800 --> 0:17:49.760 Sofie Punkah. 0:17:50.359 --> 0:17:53.399 You must be Eugene. You was a spitting image of 0:17:53.440 --> 0:17:57.320 your father, and you must be Cormi Zivago for now, 0:17:58.240 --> 0:17:58.720 you're early. 0:17:59.280 --> 0:17:59.840 We didn't want to be. 0:18:01.119 --> 0:18:03.680 My nephew is still at school. I didn't want to 0:18:03.720 --> 0:18:06.359 keep him home out of fear it might raise suspicion. 0:18:07.280 --> 0:18:08.480 He should be back within the hour. 0:18:08.680 --> 0:18:10.879 That should be fine. We have five hours until our 0:18:10.920 --> 0:18:11.399 time is up. 0:18:12.000 --> 0:18:15.480 We'll be ready to go right away. You have the paperwork, Yes, 0:18:15.960 --> 0:18:19.159 the leasas are forged. We are US citizens here to 0:18:19.280 --> 0:18:22.200 visit a dying relative at the jerry Dale Hospital. Good. 0:18:22.800 --> 0:18:25.719 Then I can give you these passports. 0:18:26.280 --> 0:18:28.280 I didn't know you were hiding those. I didn't want 0:18:28.320 --> 0:18:31.600 to worry you, thayanks, but I already made some. 0:18:33.000 --> 0:18:34.000 See for yourself. 0:18:35.080 --> 0:18:38.720 These are very impressive, as good as the real thing, 0:18:39.280 --> 0:18:39.840 maybe better. 0:18:40.520 --> 0:18:43.199 Yes, I am good at How about we pick up 0:18:43.240 --> 0:18:46.160 my nephew from school and go from there. No point 0:18:46.240 --> 0:18:47.600 waiting around longer than needed. 0:18:47.840 --> 0:18:48.600 That works for us. 0:18:49.160 --> 0:18:50.440 Let me just get my coat. 0:18:53.119 --> 0:18:54.240 I think we've got trouble. 0:18:54.480 --> 0:18:54.960 What is it. 0:18:57.600 --> 0:18:58.040 Police? 0:18:58.600 --> 0:18:59.919 They aren't marked as police car. 0:19:00.040 --> 0:19:02.560 It's Cristasi Easter, German's secret police. 0:19:02.920 --> 0:19:05.880 Well, whoever they are. They're blocking the exits and entering 0:19:05.920 --> 0:19:06.440 the hof. 0:19:06.320 --> 0:19:07.920 Heavy back door. Follow me. 0:19:13.840 --> 0:19:16.200 They're covering the back too. Which way do we go? 0:19:18.280 --> 0:19:20.440 We should separate? It's me them on? 0:19:20.720 --> 0:19:23.399 No, this way we can lose them in the Marketwn 0:19:29.720 --> 0:19:30.679 they're still after us. 0:19:31.240 --> 0:19:32.920 Aramsis stall is the tram. 0:19:39.160 --> 0:19:40.960 Shit, they're at the entrance. 0:19:41.320 --> 0:19:46.600 They'll have to hold on, jump here and hold on. 0:19:51.040 --> 0:19:53.920 I was close and they're clearly on to us. We 0:19:53.960 --> 0:19:56.119 should go back to the checkpoint and cross back to 0:19:56.160 --> 0:19:57.159 the west immediately. 0:19:57.400 --> 0:19:57.440 No. 0:19:58.640 --> 0:19:59.919 I won't desert my nephew. 0:20:00.440 --> 0:20:02.080 But your life is in danger. Eh. 0:20:03.000 --> 0:20:05.479 It's both of us or either of us. 0:20:07.080 --> 0:20:10.679 Okay, I know a place we can go. It's an 0:20:10.720 --> 0:20:12.680 old CIA safehouse. It's not far. 0:20:13.440 --> 0:20:14.639 Is there someone there who can help us? 0:20:15.280 --> 0:20:17.840 No, but we can hide there until we get a plan. B. 0:20:18.240 --> 0:20:19.119 What about our visas? 0:20:19.400 --> 0:20:22.200 We still have a few hours left. Let's hope we 0:20:22.240 --> 0:20:22.880 don't need more. 0:20:38.720 --> 0:20:42.840 Is the ass boit chairman Olbricht for General Secretary. 0:20:42.359 --> 0:20:50.359 Khrushchev dah one moment, Yes, gut and target. 0:20:50.040 --> 0:20:53.400 Cruise, Chef, I regret to inform you that doctor Shivoko 0:20:53.600 --> 0:20:57.200 has gone missing. The suspectim may be in US hands. 0:20:57.560 --> 0:20:58.600 How is this possible? 0:20:59.160 --> 0:21:01.920 He must be in our position at all costs. 0:21:02.480 --> 0:21:05.600 We believe he has yet to cross the Vest, but unfortunately, 0:21:05.760 --> 0:21:09.320 with the current border security in Berlin, I cannot assure 0:21:09.359 --> 0:21:11.960 you that I can prevent his escape. We have already 0:21:12.040 --> 0:21:15.440 lost hundreds of thousands of our best, unprightest to the Vest, 0:21:16.000 --> 0:21:19.160 and we are most assuredly lose him as well unless 0:21:19.960 --> 0:21:21.720 something drastic he's done. 0:21:22.359 --> 0:21:26.880 What do you suggest, Comrade, We shut it down, all 0:21:26.920 --> 0:21:29.960 of it. I will order guards double the ditch post. 0:21:30.160 --> 0:21:33.240 That isn't enough. We need to build a wall. It's 0:21:33.280 --> 0:21:36.080 the only way to guarantee no one can leave. Not 0:21:36.280 --> 0:21:40.240 a soul can slip through, not Sivago and no citizen 0:21:40.359 --> 0:21:41.120 of the GDR. 0:21:41.840 --> 0:21:46.119 That is quite drastic. It would bring a strong reaction. 0:21:46.480 --> 0:21:52.560 We can't concern ourselves this international perception. Only East German survival. 0:21:53.359 --> 0:21:56.320 Young Kennedy already told you that the US would take 0:21:56.480 --> 0:21:58.920 no action if a permanent barrier were built. 0:22:00.119 --> 0:22:03.719 Full shoot as hand, but the talking actions are very 0:22:03.800 --> 0:22:04.520 different things. 0:22:05.480 --> 0:22:09.119 The time to build a voll is now, and we 0:22:09.359 --> 0:22:11.720 must act fast before it is too late. 0:22:14.000 --> 0:22:18.320 The do it, shut it down, whatever it takes. 0:22:27.840 --> 0:22:31.600 Not the coziest of places, You're sure no one will 0:22:31.600 --> 0:22:32.160 find us here. 0:22:32.400 --> 0:22:35.119 This is one of the most secret safe houses we have. 0:22:35.840 --> 0:22:38.359 It's not the compinski, but we can breathe easy. 0:22:38.920 --> 0:22:41.119 I'm terribly sorry for the trouble I seem to have 0:22:41.200 --> 0:22:41.880 gotten you into. 0:22:42.240 --> 0:22:45.000 What's important is we get you out safe. Tell me 0:22:45.040 --> 0:22:45.840 about your nephew. 0:22:47.119 --> 0:22:50.560 Here is his photo. His school isn't far from my shop. 0:22:50.760 --> 0:22:53.240 He gets out in a minute now, But today he 0:22:53.359 --> 0:22:55.960 knows to wait at the school and he won't head 0:22:56.000 --> 0:22:57.400 back to the shop alone. Good. 0:22:58.160 --> 0:23:01.639 No one should be looking for him yet. I'll go 0:23:01.760 --> 0:23:02.800 get him and bring him here. 0:23:03.240 --> 0:23:03.879 Is that safe? 0:23:04.600 --> 0:23:06.520 He looks like he could be my brother. I doubt 0:23:06.600 --> 0:23:07.680 anyone will raise an eye. 0:23:09.440 --> 0:23:11.359 Give him this note so he trusts you. 0:23:11.600 --> 0:23:11.919 Thanks. 0:23:12.720 --> 0:23:16.200 I won't be long, Jean. Come lock the door behind me. 0:23:19.720 --> 0:23:22.280 Keep a close eye on Jivago and set the alarm 0:23:22.359 --> 0:23:25.200 on your watch. If I'm not back in an hour, 0:23:25.800 --> 0:23:28.120 take him to cross the border before your visas expire. 0:23:28.600 --> 0:23:30.199 What about you, I'll find a way to get back 0:23:30.240 --> 0:23:33.040 myself if you get caught, or if it ever becomes 0:23:33.080 --> 0:23:36.080 a question if you or him save yourself? 0:23:37.560 --> 0:23:49.440 Understood, understood. So it is just us for the moment. 0:23:50.359 --> 0:23:52.560 Do you mind if I put that record play into use? 0:23:53.280 --> 0:23:53.920 Be my guest. 0:24:02.400 --> 0:24:04.560 I can't get over how much you resemble your father 0:24:05.640 --> 0:24:06.760 hum I. 0:24:06.920 --> 0:24:10.879 Heard that often growing up. When did you and him 0:24:10.960 --> 0:24:11.400 first meet? 0:24:12.240 --> 0:24:14.800 We served together in counterintelligence at the end of the 0:24:14.840 --> 0:24:18.560 war and became fast friends. It started as we got 0:24:18.600 --> 0:24:21.440
