"Escalator Downwards" "Do well, my boy." "You'll manage." "I don't want to go!" "Take me back with you." "Please!" "Bit faster, boy!" "Come on." "I still have more to do." "Come upstairs!" "So, this is your room." "Integration, subordination, obedience!" "Go, go, hurry!" "Quiet!" "... strictly forbidden ..." "Quiet!" "... immediately punished..." "Quiet!" "This is your room." "One you share with three others from your group." "Give me the bag, Take your jacket off!" "That's your closet." "Aha." "So you're the new Boxer." "Congratulations!" "Come on, we must go on!" "Quiet!" "Everyone listen up!" "This is the newcomer:" "Jürgen-Joachim Jäger." "Poodle, Dachshund, Terrier!" "He lives with you." "You're his babysitter." "Understand?" "I asked whether you understood." "Yes.. yes ..." "Sit down!" "Eat!" "Actually there's still some left for you there." "You have to have what someone gnawed up." "Anyway, today you don't need much." "You're coming from outside and besides you lose your appetite on the first evening around here." "Are you a pisser?" "If the little boy pisses in his little bed, I want to know!" "Nope?" "You can drink here." "So, now what's your name again?" "I didn't catch your name." "Jürgen-Joachim Jäger." "Or simply Jochen," "There's already a Jürgen and Achim..." "From now on, your name is..." "Jojo." "By the way, I'm Sven, or according to Hamel, just Dachshund." "Come on, hurry, we want to get ready!" "Who had table duty?" "I asked, who had table duty." "Terrier, exactly what I thought." "This morning the tables were so sticky." "A bit more diligence, okay?" "It's the small things that reveal the man." "Dachshund?" "Where was your adage?" "One was hungry and had no bread, the other had bread and may not eat." "We're hungry and have bread, Let's not forget our thanks." "Pants off!" "Water on!" "Lather with soap!" "Go, go, hurry!" "Get soaped up!" "Rinse off!" "Water off!" "Dry off!" "Pants on!" "Pants on!" "My name is Hamel." "I am group leader in this reform school," "My group consists of approximately 10 boys aged between 9-16 years." "I am responsible for the boys, they can always come to me." "If they have questions or problems, I'm there for them." "I've worked here for almost 22 years." "I've already been entrusted with hundreds of boys." "Most of them confirm themselves with my initial impression," "If one takes the right approach, they become obedient, affable and uncomplicated." "Nevertheless, they're all difficult." "Everyone for himself." "Otherwise they wouldn't ultimately end up here." "Innocent lambs are in short supply here." "Therefore, every newcomer first writes me an essay on why he is here." "That way one can see whether they realize what they've done and can reflect on it." "Theft, lying, and any obscenities are strictly prohibited and immediately punished." "And if something occurs, I don't care, who instigated it." "Discussions are of no interest to me!" "Dachshund, Poodle, Terrier, Boxer!" "Good night!" "Think about your essay, Sleep well," "What you dream about your first night, will be fulfilled," "And now no more words, not even with the newcomer." "I'm leaving the door open." "Hey, Jojo!" "Yes?" "Why are you actually here?" "Conflicts with my mother and stuff." "And you?" "Anyway, I'm not here because of any kind of kid's stuff." "Anyway, most of those here have just been truant or stolen or shit like that!" "In my case, things have already gone a bit further." "Not again!" "Shut your mouth, you asshole!" "So, why are you here?" "Twenty-two infractions!" "During the holidays we broke into houses at night," "Jewelry, money, television, Computer and all that shit..., you can really sell well and bring in the cash." "Anyway my father was always much too sloshed to deal with stress," "I went before the juvenile judge and ended up here." "Why are you here, Sven?" "That's too long of a story, Let me sleep!" "Psst!" "He's just embarrassed." "I know why he's here, but I won't betray him at all." "He can tell you himself... if he wants." "Do I get some?" "What?" "Whether I get some," "Of what?" "Of the Coke that you've just stolen." "Now don't run immediately away." "You do that skillfully!" "Certainly no one saw, besides me." "I want to leave." "Cigarette?" "Still too young, eh?" "Will you have a beer?" "No money!" "Who's talking about that?" "I have enough." "Come on!" "I'll buy you one!" "You go to my school, right?" "Yes." "And what are you doing here?" "Bumming around." "Why?" "I lost my key midday today." "And why are you alone?" "It's immaterial, you're here with me now." "Cigarette?" "Eh?" "Nope." "What's the matter?" "I still haven't eaten anything." "Thank you." "Here, this is for you." "I have to go home now." "Bye!" "Tell me, what's your name anyway?" "Jochen!" "I'm Alex!" "Till tomorrow!" "Around three o'clock at the escalator!" "Till tomorrow!" "And thanks, Alex," "We can make amends again!" "There you are at last!" "Where were you this whole time?" "I've lost my key." "You did what?" "You stink of smoke, you drank beer!" "No, I didn't!" "I was cold, I was hungry." "I went into the city." "What did you do in the city?" "I've said you shouldn't go into the city alone." "What's the point of that?" "You stupid stiff!" "Do you have no idea what it costs, to replace the locks?" "What do you think?" "Fucking hell!" "And kindly answer your mother!" "Oh, leave me in peace!" "Who is this then?" "This is our newcomer." "Jürgen-Joachim Jäger." "Hamel calls him Boxer and we, Jojo." "Hey Jojo!" "Get up!" "You completely overslept, man!" "Hey, I'm Fred." "Hello." "If you want to eat, you should come downstairs now." "Are you going to take care of him?" "Yeah, sure," "Alright." "See you soon." "Go!" "Downstairs to wash!" "And don't forget to brush your teeth!" "Brushing teeth is Redbeard's latest kick." "But otherwise he's totally okay." "You can't compare him to Hamel." "Good morning!" " Gooood Mooorning!" "Very nice!" "Even if Mr. Hamel isn't there, anyone may recite his adage." "You may!" "Thank you!" "I thank all of the dear people in this wonderful world.." "insomuch that I puke every day at mealtime..., ... Uh, terrific, receive." "Amen." "Well, enjoy your meal." "Hi!" "Hi." "I should remind you about the essay for Mr. Hamel," "I already told him about that yesterday." "Why should I write it out again?" "What is your actual name?" "I don't know," "You don't know?" "Yes, how they called me...," "Actually, my name is Jürgen-Joachim Jäger." "At home I'm Jochen, and here Jojo." "Mr. Hamel named me Boxer." "Figure it out for yourself." "I don't care." "Jochen." "I think you should write the essay," "It's not very wise to go up against Mr. Hamel on the first day." "And besides, you have nothing better to do anyway, right?" "If you can consider it once again," "I'd be happy." "Okay," "I'll write the essay." "For your sake." "It can be written quickly:" "my mother no longer wants me." "Hey, wait a minute!" "It's not that simple." "I know quite well that no one comes here without good reason." "Alex was almost always around whenever I got up to something." "He's also not here." "Alex?" "Should I have ratted on him?" "Well, it doesn't matter now... ultimately you're here and not this Alex." "I've stolen." "You know... it would be best if you write exactly that in your essay, ok?" "I thank you." "My name is Fred Winkelmann, I'm 24 years old and still a student," "Currently I work as an intern in this care home." "However, only a few know me as Winkelmann." "The guys call me Emperor Redbeard." "One can imagine why." "I think it is our duty, to bring up the guys to have independent personalities, and this is only possible if we meet them with trust and a lot of respect." "Why I am here:" "I'm here because my mother expelled me." "She said she will no longer put up with me." "Her new boyfriend said that too." "He doesn't like me." "I don't like him." "Can't you pay this time?" "I'm broke." "I certainly don't have any money." "Do you think my mother gives me pocket money?" "I've always paid up to now." "Now it's your turn." "You can do this so well, as I've seen." "Come on, we'll grab that!" "This is the same one as up here, a bit cheaper, but for no reason." "You can also take it, sure..." "Oh man!" "How you ripped him off!" "What bullshit he was telling me!" "Ha ha!" "Yes indeed!" "You can certainly imagine, Boxer, why I put forth an effort for you." "You know... if I can't stand one thing, it is stubbornness." "And what have you given me, it's pure stubbornness!" "Pay attention, Boxer!" "If we want to accomplish things together, it will depend on your insight." "Do you understand?" "We'd make nothing out of you, if you don't recognize your mistakes!" "You write this essay again for me on the weekend." "With a heading as usual." "If I'm not satisfied, in the coming week you'll write one again... and the week after that too... and that's how it will go from now on... until I see from your essay that you've really understood why you're here." "Did I make myself clear enough?" "Is that clear?" "Hey, Jochen?" "Yes?" "Anyway, I didn't want to tell you in front of all the others." "This shit doesn't concern them." "If you don't want to, okay." "I also have no desire..." "Yes, yes!" "So, about me in the orphanage... which was one run by the church... there I had a thing for the girls." "You know as of yet nothing about violence or such, but when it came out, the sisters said I was a monster and a danger to humanity." "And now... now I'm here." "Why exactly an orphanage?" "My mother hanged herself when I was five," "And my father..." "who I've never gotten to know," "The sister said, I got everything from my mother." "Eventually would end up exactly the same." "Hey!" "What is going on here?" "What is this then?" "Boxer, of course!" "It was clear to me." "Don't you know the house rules?" "Now don't start crying!" "What is it with your knee?" "Stand up already!" "I've done nothing at all." "Don't lie to me as well." "I have eyes!" "I just wanted to try ..." "That will do!" "Because of the knee, you'll be going to Sister Maria!" "And you others, go inside right now!" "You could thank your friend Boxer for this." "Great!" "Thanks!" "Well, then pull your pants down." "I need to disinfect that now." "So that the wound won't get sore, you know." "Don't look like that, you're already grown." "How old are you?" "Fourteen?" "Still not quite." "Well, even so!" "What's your name?" "Jürgen-Joachim Jäger." "At home I'm Jochen, here they call me Jojo," "Mr. Hamel named me Boxer." "Figure it out yourself." "I don't care." "Well okay, Jochen." "So, let's go." ""Hepp", as they say in the circus." "Yeahhhhh, that will do." "That will do." "Now I still need a bandage," "We'll use a large one." "Tell me, what brought you to this place?" "My mother stuck me in here for a couple of weeks." "And you don't like it here, huh?" "I can understand that, but if you keep in good standing, you won't need to stay here for long." "And if you need a new bandage, you can come back again." "I'm Maria, the nurse here in the care home." "I've worked here for fifteen years." "I like it." "I like the boys." "They come to me because of sore throats, abrasions, stomach aches, and sometimes just to talk a little bit." "And should a serious situation arise, I can always call a doctor." "The boys aren't bad, they're also not difficult, that's just stupid gossip." "Clearly, they have made mistakes, and then one thing led to another." "That's only an unfortunate series of events." "Well, and they've also never learned to say "no"." "Yes, and then one comes along... because one has no idea, why he is here." "He's polite, intelligent, can behave himself well, he..." "Yes..." "But, one never knows... what sort of family he might be from." "Well, that's my opinion." "Hey, look!" "We need something like that too, then it wouldn't always be so boring with you," "Hey!" "Stay there, young friend!" ""I'm away and won't return." " J."" "Can I get another one?" "Good." "There you are, finally," "Oh, where are you coming from now?" "Haven't you ever considered that I care?" "Now, don't talk to him like a lost son!" "First it was stealing the bag, then running away, and we were troubled the whole night with the cops." "To me, you're a bum!" "I've always thought you could get started with me in the store, but forget that!" "I'll have no one in the booth, who would empty out my cash register." "I don't want to be in the filthy store anyway!" "Hello cruel mother!" "Dear Mother!" "I can't stand it here anymore," "It's going very well for me here!" "Everyone is distrustful and there is constant strife," "In the home it's great with so many other boys." "Everything makes me sick." "I must leave here!" "I don't want leave here any longer!" "If I don't get out of here soon, I'll run away or kill myself." "For your birthday good luck!" ", For your birthday good luck!" "For your birthday, dear Jochen, Jojo, Boxer, ..." "For your birthday good luck!" "I baked the cake for you..." "Blow the candles out and make a wish!" "Hey!" "I think that you might like this!" "A best birthday to you!" "Thanks!" "Sorry, Jojo!" "I didn't have enough money for more," "You know, I have so many demerits from Hamel." "Just watch out, Dachshund!" "Oh bullshit!" "It's a great gift!" "Look, Boxer, there's still a package from your mother," "Unfortunately I must confiscate the cherry brandy." "You know what I think of alcohol." "That's not for you." "My dear boy." "I wish you all the best for for your birthday." "Actually I wanted to visit you, but... there's so much to do in the store, that I can't take a day off." "So I put together a nice package for you." "And I'll come for sure on the next visitor's day." "I'm glad that you have settled in well and have found new friends." "With love, your mother." "So, now turn out the light!" "Just ten more minutes, please!" "Well okay, because today's a birthday." "But in ten minutes the light is to be out, and that's final." "Otherwise, this will be the last time." "Hey, little jailbird!" "Want to steal me something nice too?" "I need a new TV!" "We've all heard about your activities!" "Have you betrayed me?" "Hey, what kind of lousy bum are you?" "Do I know you?" "Heeey!" "Don't grab me, okay!" "Theft and aggravated assault." "That is a considerable rapsheet that your son has, Mrs. Jäger." "It seems to me he's not so easy to handle." "That's clear from the file ..." "Mrs. Jäger!" "But...," "First stealing the bag, then running away..." "But...," "I'll have no one in the booth, who would empty out my cash register!" "Yes..." "Voluntary educational support...," "I certainly can't abandon him, I'm still his mother." "You must consider the greater good precisely because you're his mother, Mrs. Jäger, ...Mrs. Jäger." "So, this is your room." "Beep, beep, beep, we all have love, each one eats what he can, just not his neighbor," "Beep, beep, beep, we all have love." "Boooooxer!" "I've said from the outset that I don't tolerate obscenities in my group." "Go, go, go, get up!" "Come with me!" "What have I done then?" "Still playing the innocent lamb too." "How can one with sound judgement graffiti the shower room?" "I don't understand that!" "What have I have done?" "!" "It wasn't I!" " Don't lie to me too!" "No one except you owns such pens!" "I don't do such childish stuff!" "I know your record, Jäger." "It contains all sorts of childish stuff, that you've done." "Do you think I don't observe you boys?" "This close friendship with Dachshund alone." "We know what skeletons he has in the closet." "When one of you is in for it, he never stands by what he has done." "Do you know what that means, Boxer?" "One week toilet duty, ..." "Leave on next Sunday is revoked, ... fourteen days with no pocket money!" "I have understanding for everything, but not for boorish innuendos." "You guys are not animals!" "What are you doing?" "With a bit of alcohol, it's no problem." "How dare you destroy evidence!" "Behind my back without asking!" "You are an educator, damn it, and no ally of this loser!" "Mr. Hamel!" "Please!" "Perhaps we should strike a different tone in front of the juveniles!" "What does that mean?" "Do YOU want to dictate the rules to ME?" "Don't you grasp my educational measures!" "I thought it was for the best to clean it off and not go into theatrics." "It would be better if we speak alone." "You can go, Boxer!" "And my punishment?" "Mr. Hamel, I don't really believe that it was Jochen." "He hardly would have misspelled "midnight", right?" "The toilet duty remains." "Above all else, I'm still talking with you." "And now clear out at last!" "Terrier did it!" "What!" "How do you know?" "Poodle told me!" "Terrier took the pens out of your closet." "I've been looking for them, and they're no longer there." "I'm going to Hamel!" "Better not do that, Jojo." "A lot goes on within the group, but ratting someone out to Hamel does no good." "And if someone does, he's rejected!" "Do you think I want to clean out the shit house for a week although I've done nothing?" "And on Sunday, I may rot here..." "Tough!" "I'm sure that Terrier will take over your duties," "And if Hamel is serious about the curfew, then he'll stay there..." "And by the way, I will too, if you're not allowed to leave." "Hey!" "Was it you?" "Why should it have been me?" "This crap in the washroom!" "Did you steal the pens?" "What would I do with the fucking pens?" "We could easily check!" "Take your dirty fingers of my things!" "Here's your stuff back, Jojo." "And you know very well what you should expect, Terrier!" "Terrier has run off!" "He's really scared shitless that more is coming to him." "Yes, police?" "Hamel here from the home for educational support." "Yes, exactly, we have a runaway once again." "Anyway, he's running back to his old man, as always." "Just pick him up at the same place as always." "Why didn't you tell me, that Terrier graffitied the washroom?" "I learned of it myself only yesterday." "Then we preferred to account for it among ourselves." "Ah yes." "But if you know about it now, are my punishments dropped?" "Dropped?" "How do you get that idea?" "But, but you know now, that it wasn't I." "Right, now I also know that you've lied to me." "Lied?" " Concealment is lying, no back talk!" "Furthermore, this here is already the tenth essay that you've written me." "And, as always, an absolute impudence!" "You write again and again that it's your mother's fault that you're here." "From insight and reason there can be no discourse." "And will I still get my reward?" "You can go." "I wasn't the one at all..." "OUT!" "What!" "Didn't you beat me up last year?" "And what I did... wasn't half as vile as what Terrier pulled off!" "No one else was punished because of me!" "I lay a whole week long in Sister Maria's care, and I controlled my mouth!" "I had good cause to be upset!" "Man, Poodle, we must all stick together here!" "Hamel wants to tear us down and if we also fight amongst ourselves, we only help him in his work." "If we had taken a beating for every time we messed up, all of us would now be black and blue." "Perhaps not you, Poodle?" "Or you, Sven?" "And we've messed up enough, otherwise we wouldn't be here!" "To Hamel we're only a piece of shit!" "If we have to defend ourselves, then we defend against him!" "Boxer's turn." "Didn't you understand me?" "Boxer!" "I've probably just not heard it correctly." "What was that?" "Quiet!" "Stop it at once!" "I said stop!" "WE'RE NOT DOGS!" "WE'RE NOT DOGS!" "To your rooms, hurry!" "Today, there will be no breakfast." "No breakfast?" "Who says?" "You've probably didn't hear it correctly!" "To the rooms, I said!" "To do him a favor, we could also continue eating outside." "I've heard you had difficulties?" "Difficulties?" "Oh, you know, if you've been in the profession as long as I, then you know such "difficulties"" "go with the work." "By the way, of course, it's Jäger who's behind this again." "But I'll bring him down yet." "That you can count on." "These guys are not there in order that we tear them down." "They should be built up." "But how should they ever contend in their lives, if all that they learn here is to be subordinate?" "Jäger wanted to avenge himself, because of the punishment for the graffiti, for which he was not at all responsible." "Yes, but he has concealed what he knew." "He is stubborn and so must be broken." "Good, then I ask myself, why exactly it is these guys selected this form of rebellion." "Why this barking?" "It surely shows that they're feeling treated like dogs." "Yes, but those are completely harmless nicknames that exist in the other groups as well... which are really detrimental." "Nicknames that mock physical traits, naming one Vulture because he has a crooked nose, and a little fat one, who's called Barrel." "Yes, do you think then that I don't worry?" "Basically, I like these boys." "Do you know... sometimes there is one..." "where I think ... he could be my son, and then he would not be in this home," "Take for example, Terrier." "I like him." "And what does he do?" "He runs away to his father, to his drunken father, who bears the real blame for why he ended up here in the home." "And so it goes with many of the boys." "When I was new..." "I also sometimes had sympathy with the boys... and some I wanted to hug, so that they could have a good cry." "But I advise you, if you want to stay in the job, then you let things be." "There are always new boys coming in and they always bring new problems, that can be solved only when strict rules are established." "Problems!" "I think the boys have enough problems with themselves." "And what do we do?" "We make every effort so that these boys are no longer conspicuous." "But, then yet what is a boy who's ashamed of being conspicuous?" "That you must understand, Mr. Hamel!" "I think we can make no further progress." "Hello!" "I've also brought you something." "Actually, we have everything that we need." "Then you'll like it too." "Yes, very good, there are really nice people here." "Then you aren't homesick at all?" "It is beautiful here." "Much nicer than at home." "As though one had a proper family." "Well, you see." "Then it was also the right thing, that we brought you here." "What would have become of you otherwise?" "Eventually, one day I want to be proud of you." "You're my only one!" "Someday you'll recognize that I was right, and you'll even be grateful to me." "Yes, you'll be grateful to me, there..." "I'm certain." "Very grateful." "Jochen," "I have something to discuss with you." "Oh yes?" "Look, you know Albert, well, Mr. Möller, I mean." "He's really a very nice and caring man, and he has a well-running business." "And now I've been alone for so long," "Well, since we thought, so, we've come to an agreement, that we want to get married." "Best wishes." "We've already discussed everything with the group home management." "Fourteen days from today you can come home and celebrate!" "And stay?" "No... not yet stay." "That would be too soon, you have to understand that, Jochen." "In two or three months, in a half a year it can be considered." "Mr. Möller thinks, it wouldn't be good yet, if we take you right home." "Rather, he wants to hire you as an apprentice in his business, but then he asked himself:" "Who knows what people will say?" "And now he's attempting to find something else in another city for you." "He must also think of his business." "And when he calmly explained that to me, I recognized that too." "I'm now in complete agreement." "We want only your best, Jochen," "Finally, I am your mother." "And Mr. Möller... he likes you too." "I must be off again." "Will you take me to the door?" "Goodbye, my boy." "Mama, take me with you." "Mama, take me with you, get me out of here!" "Mama, get me out of here!" "Mama, take me with you!" "Watch out!" "Nanananana, that's not so bad at all." "So, ready to go." "Come on, that wasn't so bad." "March!" "What's on your mind?" "Yes, my knee and all, that, that hurts," "Hmm, I understand," "Here I have a medicine." "A little bitter, but certain to help." "And then you'll be alright again until the wedding." "If I ever go back there," "Well, that will certainly be nice." "But I have no desire for it." "Couldn't you write me a sick note?" "Please!" "Absolutely not!" "You will go to your mother's wedding." "And Fred said, that he'll drive you." "I could never stand that Möller!" "And now he's becoming my father." "He has persuaded my mother to stick me in another city." "I'm supposed to begin an apprenticeship..." "But I have no desire for it!" "And what do you want to do then?" "But if your mother actually marries him, you'll want to return to your mother, right?" "Jochen, I have an idea," "I could ask my brother, whether perhaps he still needs an apprentice for his shop." "Really?" " Yes!" "And then you could also live with us." "Well?" "But you must promise me, that you'll go to your mother's wedding, and that you never get up to anything here again." "Is that clear?" "Well, good." "Good." "Hi!" "And, are you happy yet?" "I don't want to go to this shitty wedding." "Can't I stay here?" "Hey, I know a couple of guys, that would be quite happy if they could go out again." "Hurry up please, I must leave immediately." "Mrs. Jäger, unfortunately I have some bad news for you:" "Jochen had an accident." "So?" "He can't come?" "Hmm, too bad." "Well, but maybe it's also a good thing." "Such a wedding brings out much confusion in him and one couldn't take care of him, as would perhaps be necessary." "Then we'll just take him on another a weekend or so, if you consent." "Give him good greetings from his stepfather too." "But excuse me now, Mr. Hamel." "There's still so much to do today, you know." "Yes, indeed." "I wish you a beautiful wedding." "Goodbye." "Jochen!" "What sort of things are you doing?" "Also, I'm really disappointed in you." "I wouldn't have thought this of you." "Why is that?" "Well, your mother was also sad, that you couldn't come to the wedding." "She doesn't need to be sad." "What's in it for her, if I come?" "Well, she would have gladly had you there when she married." "But you had to complicate things!" "Oh, Jochen..." "Come on!" "I've spoken with my brother about what a fine sort of boy you are, and that you're looking for an apprenticeship." "And ..." "Well, he said that he would be happy if you started with him." "He really wants me as an apprentice?" "Yes!" "But only if you don't continue the sort of nonsense you've just done, okay?" "I'm telling him nothing of it." "Got that?" "I promise." "Damn it, Sven!" "We're too late!" "Why, it's only quarter til!" "We need at least a half an hour and only if we run!" "Hamel is going to kill us." "Hey, Hamel can bite me." "Come on!" "We must try at least." "If you going to rush the entire time, then go alone!" "I won't kill myself over a couple of minutes." "Are you really so concerned about it?" "I think so." "Come, then we must simply come up with something!" "Hey!" "There we have the solution." "What then?" "Can't you see, man?" "Hey, just let me take care of it, okay?" "And when I say "Go", run as fast as possible," "Probably her folks are still in the area," "Go!" "Elvira!" "You realize what this means." "Right?" "Mr. Hamel!" "We're so sorry!" "Look at this poor little guy here." "Where did you get it from?" "We saved it from the expressway," "There were so many big cars driving past there I couldn't get to him right away." "Man, poor thing." "And what do we do with him now?" "First of all, I'll bring him into my office, and then care for him." "And early tomorrow I'll report the find to the lost and found office." "There it will surely be returned to whomever the little one belongs." "This isn't just some mixed breed that anyone wanted to get rid of." "This is a purebred Jack Russell Terrier," "Sven, Jochen, that was good that you saved the dog." "The owner will certainly be pleased if he gets the little guy back." "Will you open the door?" "Oh, Sven, before I forget:" "Please come immediately to my office, okay?" "Sure." "Departure!" "I'm leaving here, Jochen!" "I'll be picked up early tomorrow after breakfast." "Isn't that wonderful?" "Where to then?" "I think you have no parents." "Back to the orphanage?" "I wouldn't rejoice just now." "Nonsense, not back to the orphanage." "Family foster home!" "And you know to whom?" "To my uncle," "He located the group home for me." "I don't know whether I've already gotten to know him before." "Since I was certainly really young." "No matter, in any case, Hamel said, that... my uncle has a plant nursery!" "Then I can work in there," "Isn't that cool?" "Yes..." "Cool." "Hey, what shall I do then?" "When you first get out, be sure to think no more about us." "Be glad that you put it behind you." "That's understandable." "For me, it certainly wouldn't be otherwise." " Nonsense!" "Hey, we're friends at last, Jojo." "And you'll get out of here soon." "Man, what we could do then to cause trouble!" "And no stupid Hamel to look at the clock to see whether we arrive too late." "Your uncle is here." "You can go." "Time to say goodbye." "I wish you all the best." "On that, we won't see one another here again." "Got it?" "I hope so too." "You can believe me, Mr. Hamel." "So, do well." "Jürgen-Joachim Jäger." "And look after yourself," "Ciao." "Thanks." ""Infirmary"" "Read to me." "Read the article to me." "Will you hurry up!" "On Saturday evening around 19 o'clock two approximately 14-year-old boys committed an ordinary boyish prank." "The five-year-old Julia K., played in the garden colony Bachtaler Street on the south side of the city with an eight-week-old Jack Russell, as two previously unknown boys snatched the animal and ran off." "Following the description by the small girl and a woman, who could observe the incident from her garden, witnessed as one..., as two dark-haired boys have acted." "More detailed descriptions ..." " Enough!" "That's enough!" "You disgusting bunch!" "To take a small girl's dog away and to lie to me like that!" "That's something shameless!" "Go, beat it, beat it!" "I can't look at you anymore!" "I wasn't the one, I wasn't the one..." "Be quiet!" "That's enough now!" "I've already heard enough!" "Lastly, I read your essays week after week." "The matter with the dog, that was all your mother too, how?" "She's at fault that you're here with us." "Not you, heaven forbid!" "Your mother!" "You write it week after week and have no shame!" "And of course this time you weren't the one again." "How could Jürgen-Joachim Jäger do such a thing?" "The others are to blame." "I would have known that too, even if you hadn't told me." "One more thing:" "You'll spend the next few days in isolation." "And get out now!" "Get out!" "Hi Jochen." "I see that you're not sick," "Here are two letters for you." "This we understand clearly:" "You beat my brother's apprentice on my head!" "You surely don't think, that I will bring someone like you into the house." "Fortunately, the apprentice contract wasn't yet signed." "And I just had such a good feeling about you," "Well, one never knows." "I hope I've expressed myself clearly enough." "My dear boy ..." "Hello Jochen," "I hope you're doing well." "I'm doing really well." "It is really great with my uncle." "I even like working in the nursery." "But I often think of you." "How we had our fun together and together got into the most fun things." "I hope that all of you will also get out soon." "Best regards, Sven." "Why I'm here:" "I'm here because I have stolen and because I haven't realized how I was exploited." "I'm here because I have beaten another boy halfway to death." "I am here because I am filth, the scum of the earth." "That was taught to me very well here." "Hey, what kind of bum are you?" "Fuck off, man!" "Hey, fuck off!" "Fuck off, I said!" "I knew it immediately when I saw him for the first time." "This Jäger was one of those who only cause difficulties and trouble." "They're all the same." "If one is in the business as long as I, one eventually knows them." "Subtitles:" "Kirsten Ueberholz, Matthias Jochmann, Martin Backhaus ...translated into english by SmartyBoy"
