Uh, Mr. Schwarz? May I interrupt you for a moment...?

Uh, Mr. Schwarz? May I interrupt you for a moment...?

I can't keep the child, Mr. Schwarz!

Surely the ministry keeps a record of doctors suspected of performing illegal abortions, right?

Are you sure you want to do that?

Let me help you.

I can't promise anything.

I, uh, I don't really like to talk to people I don't know...

But you work at the Ministry now, don't you?

Indeed. I perform the most important tasks there.

What is it? Do you need a form?

I... this is terribly embarrassing.

To bother you with something like this...

Don't be embarrassed, Ms. Harschberger.

I, uh, well, I met this man there. I was very much in love.

Unfortunately, he wasn't. After three months, he was gone again.

Unfortunately, I now have this problem...

Did he cheat you out of money?

I'm... I'm pregnant.

Oh.

And I can't stand the way they'll look at me!

If my superiors at the bank find out, they'll fire me.

They can check my file and see that I'm not married!

And I'll lose my housing privileges, too!

And then I'll be out on the street with the child.

But... why?

Like you are now. Critical, judgmental, as if I were a slut.

I, uh... What can I do for you now, Ms. Harschberger?

Could you maybe get me the name and address of a doctor who is willing to help me?

Such suspicious cases are of course stored.

I need the name of a doctor who can make it go away.

It's my life, Mr. Schwarz.

Thank you, Mr. Schwarz. I know it is a lot to ask.

I understand, Mr. Schwarz.

Unfortunately, my problem is... time-sensitive.

Please be careful.

Well... After all, you are unmarried and got involved with this man.

So what? After all, the man got involved with me too, didn't he?

But he doesn't have to put up with looks now. He can go on living his life as if nothing had happened.

Do you think that's fair?

I can understand if you don't want to help me, after all, you hardly know me.

But if you do help me, I will be infinitely grateful.

As if I were to blame for my situation.

I will see if I can find a doctor for you in the Department's database.

I'll see what I can do. But I can't promise you anything, Ms. Harschberger.
