:07:00
We'd like to make you an offer.
:07:03
Our state looks after
its top sports stars.
:07:06
They receive good housing
and a decent salary.
:07:09
Nice of you.
:07:11
Mr. Melchior,
I'd like to congratulate you.
:07:15
Fantastic.
:07:17
I'm Colonel Krüger from State Security.
I deal with illegal immigration.
:07:22
I'm investigating
Matthis Hiller's escape.
:07:25
- You were friends?
- We still are.
:07:29
Times are tough.
:07:31
People fall victim to the West's lure
and leave family and friends behind.
:07:35
They are blind to our new society.
:07:39
All right.
:07:42
I give you a friendly warning:
Don't do anything stupid.
:07:45
I highly respect your achievements.
:07:49
I'll keep track of your further career.
:07:52
I truly hope we won't lose you.
:07:56
Thanks, but no thanks.
:08:00
Now I'm the German champion.
:08:04
But I'm somehow too old for this stuff.
:08:22
I announce my retirement
as a national athlete.
:08:32
Have that man arrested, comrade.
My patience is at an end.
:08:38
It was the point ofno return.
I had to leave.
:08:43
And Lotte had to go with me.
