"LITTLE ROBBERS" "Good day!" " Good day!" " Good day!" " would you Iike to apply for a Ioan?" " No, thank you." "We already have one." "You already have one." "Fantastic!" "You have a very interesting bank!" " Yes, a respectable one..." " Do you have a million here?" "Show the children around the bank while we talk." "This is the foreign currency exchange." " What's foreign currency?" "That's dollars." "Don't you remember?" "Dad told us what it was." "No, it's not only dollars." "Here you can exchange money from nearly the whole world, euros, pounds, marks..." "Do you have a million here?" "well, fine." "Come." "I'II take you where no customers are allowed." "Let's go." "Let's go." "Personnel Only" "Behind this metal safe door is the million." "And those two serious men are guarding it." "Let's go." "What absurdity is this?" "They are clients' kids, I'm showing them..." "And what are they doing here?" "Unpack them and put them in their proper places at once!" "well, you see, being late with Ioan payments for an unspecified time..." " is a very serious matter." " only until I find a new job." "well, wait for a moment." "Yes, would you please come to the entry hall?" "Yes, we have a small problem here." "Your contract does not cover suspension of Ioan payments for an unspecified time." "Perhaps we can charge the interest for the time being?" "You must be able to pay your loan interest?" "No, right now we can't, but later." "In that case, there is nothing to discuss." " Start sale proceedings for the flat." " But where are we to stay?" "We've given up the old flat." "It seems to me it is not a bank problem." "If you don't have the money, find a cheaper flat." "You see, there's nothing I can do on your behalf." "You'II have to sign these papers." "For Sale" "This bank is shit!" "Robby, don't use such language!" "Robby is right, this bank really is shit." "Grandmother!" " Here you are!" "Thanks." "I'II put some on for you, alright?" "Or do you want to do it yourself?" " He still remembers me." " Dogs never forget..." "We're very grateful that we can stay here for a while, but as soon as I find work we won't burden you any more." "Come on, don't worry!" "It's no burden." "And if you were to ask me for work our farm here is large." "We have horses, goats and sheep and now it's haying time." "You can go out to work in the field already tomorrow." "Dad works all the time, but there's no money ever." "Why?" "There's lots of money in the bank." "A whole million." "But they just sit in their chairs and don't do any work." "It's not fair, is it?" "Yes, it's not fair." "If we had a Iot of money, we could go back to our flat, couldn't we?" "Yes..." "We both would have our own room again." "We have to take some money from the bank." " How can you take it?" " Like Zorro." "Take from the rich to give to the poor - to mom and dad." "But we can't do that." "Bank robbers are put in jail." "But kids are not put in jail." "I know." "Mice!" "I can see that myself." "Make sure all are caught by morning!" "You mean, we have to catch the mice?" "The bank's money is under threat, and it's your job to guard it, isn't it?" "What kind o' cat am I that I've got to catch mice, do you know?" "KIutz!" " Don't eat the bacon!" " What?" "I'm not eating." "will you not be afraid of the dark all alone up here?" "Good robbers are afraid of nothing." "Sweet dreams!" " Goodnight mom." " Goodnight." "Sweet dreams." "Louise!" "We'II have to practice." " Practice what?" " Being robbers." " Fine." "Robby!" "What's that?" " What's that going to be?" "ApickIock." " What for?" "We'II have to open the safe, won't we?" "What are you fooling around with there?" "We're not doing anything!" "This one won't work." "If you'II comeand help me feed the pigs," "I'II show you after how to work a picklock." "Be careful!" "Don't put your hand near the snout, you can be bitten hard." "You can scratch behind the ears." "Did you catch something, sir?" "Here, look, there is a kind of a tongue, that has to be pushed back." "And if you succeed..." "It's open." " What are those?" " Is that hidden treasure?" "It's only rock salt." "It's given to cows and sheep to lick so they won't get sick." "Now, you can keep that and practice with it later." "I'II give you some old locks." "Can you open a safe with it?" "No way, you need something more sophisticated." "I can't open a safe." "But you must practice." "I'm coming." "Do you really think we should do it already tomorrow?" "Dad said that our flat would be sold in three weeks time... and we won't get it back." "Understand?" "And what if we're caught?" " Why?" "We have such a good plan." "I don't know..." "please." "Let's try at Ieast." "You did promise." "You smash it!" "To mom and dad" "A bus!" "Faster!" "Give me your hand!" "The kids really have got lost in play today." "Yes, they didn't even eat breakfast." "AII day spent again on empty stomachs." "But starving they're not." "AhaIf a loaf of bread has grown feet." " Oh, yes!" "Has someone seen my glasses?" "No." " I've looked for them all morning." " No." "We thrive" " We can't go in." "They'II notice us!" " No, they won't!" "Now no one will recognize us!" "crawl in." "quietly!" "Auntie!" "Move aside!" "Robby!" "Are you nuts?" "Do you want us to be caught?" " Robby?" "Maybe we shouldn't go?" " Why?" " Let's go back." "No way!" ""To mom and dad!"" ""We're going to the city to our friends Oscar and Jana"." "'They don't have a phone." "We'II be home in the evening." "Sorry, Louise"." " Lizzie is becoming independent." " Louise?" "I bet it wasn't her idea." " For sure it was Robby again." " Robert!" "Forget it." "The last bus arrives after a couple of hours." "The last bus arrives after a couple of hours." "Dammit!" "could those new garbage cans not be placed better?" "Opened" "Closed" "AmiIIion!" "Faster!" "There's more here than usual." "Why we should stop now, if it's going so well?" "We could do more." "The chief said that it's important to know when to quit." " But, you know, I thought..." " KIutz!" "Don't think." "The whole world knows that you're a moron." " Robby, this isn't right." " What's not right?" "Give me the bag." "It's stealing." "But there's so much money here!" "And the bank took away our home." "It doesn't matter." "It's still not right." "please." "Let's just fill one bag." "HaIffuII." "No one will even notice that a bit is missing." "Besides, the bank is bad." "Does it matter what the bank is like?" "If we rob it, we'II be crooks." "They must have missed the bus." "112..." "hello, police?" "Our children have gone missing." "Our children have gone missing." "I'm thirsty." "I couldn't bring water." "Grandma was standing beside me the whole time." "I wonder what mom and dad are doing?" "For sure they're worried." " We'II be in real trouble." " That's tomorrow." "Robby!" "Look!" "She's eating the bread." "Of course." "There's no bread in the bank." "Just money." "Thanks!" "They promised that they would start to search right away." "But I don't believe they'II do it." "And what are we to do now?" "Anna, what's to be done now?" " What's to be done?" "Get them." "But it'II be night soon." "precisely that's why - because it'II be night soon." "Get up!" "Hide!" "We thrive" "For what?" "Apervert!" "Let me go!" "I'm going to complain!" "Let me go!" " Got ID?" " Goochi!" "KIutz!" " My bag!" " Come here!" " She is crasy." " Men..." "Are you stupid, KIutz, or what?" "Put it back right now." "What have I done?" "Nothing." "He also ate the bacon." " What bacon?" "The one meant for the mice." "A small problem has developed for us." "Some idiot has been dipping into our special money." " How much exactly is missing?" " 40000... new dollars." "only a stupid idiot can grab a couple of thousand, when he could have got several millions in short shrift." "Why are you all staring at me?" "The minute something's wrong, it's KIutz." " Maybe it was a mouse?" " Four bundles?" "No one will own up to it in any case." "I hope you cretins understand that you can't spend this money!" "If you circulate it, a hullabaloo will start!" "Understand?" "Maybe we should look at the video recordings?" "tell me - am I the only one in this room with a brain?" "We don't have video surveillance in the vault!" "only a total moron could get himself filmed and, to top it, keep the tapes!" "Nothing is recorded, nothing filmed..." "Idiot of a windbag!" "Chief?" "It's me." "could you come to see me?" "Better immediately." "Hands, hands!" "Step back everyone." "Look!" "Look!" "It can't be!" "Kids?" "You think, these two scaIIywags?" "You saw the video recording." "They've got that money for sure." "Grab them!" "Come on!" "Come on!" " Get our money back." " From those kids?" "Don't just talk but do it." "quietly and without being seen!" "Don't just talk but do it." "quietly and without being seen!" " I'm hungry." " But we have no money." "We do so." "But it's only enough for our bus ride home." "I have more money." " You did take it after all?" " only one." "But I told you that you shouldn't take any." "And what if the bank calls the police?" "The bank won't even notice." "These are dollars!" "The stores won't even take them." " Is it not real money?" " It's foreign currency." "Dad said that first you have to change it into our money." "They do have the money." " Let's get it." " No!" "It's too crowdie." "You heard what he said - quietly and without being seen!" "Currency exchange" " Who gave you this money?" " Dad." " Is something wrong?" " Your money is counterteit." " Pardon?" "They are fake." "Where did you get it?" "Hey, wait!" "Stay!" " follow them." "Keep track of them." "And you?" " I said - follow them!" "hello." "Just a moment please." "please put down the phone." "I'II have to take those hundred dollars you're holding." "Thanks." "And now put down the phone." "And without fuss." "alright?" "What?" "I was following them." "In the park." "Now they're behind some tree." "To the right." "No... to the Ieft." " Look, I got it!" "Where are the kids?" " My shoe." "Do you know how much they cost?" " You're a moron." "Where are the kids?" " There!" "I don't understand how that money could be fake?" "It came straight from the bank." "Maybe just one bill was wrong." "Maybe the rest were alright." "Yes, but we don't know that." " Did you take more?" " Four bundles." " Four bundles?" "And now we can try other bills." "Jump down!" "It's awful smelly here." "You do not have 50 centimes?" "Dammit!" "They're spending our money again." "This money was alright." " Maybe we don't know that." "The vendor didn't even look at it." "follow them and don't let them out of your sight." "Security Service." "I'II have to take those 100 dollars that you took from those kids." "Wait up." "Mommy, look!" "A seal!" "I saw them." "They ran down that path." "Why are you soaked?" "Let's run!" "Fast!" "Have you got the pickIock?" "Maybe you can open it?" "Robby, faster!" "Shoes!" "Look here!" "Not?" "You little twerps!" "Does it hurt?" "little pipsqueaks!" "Fish!" "Run!" "Come here!" "well kid, come here..." "Just you wait, you little..." " well?" "Where's the money?" " I haven't got it." " No money, huh?" " Don't move!" "None." "No money, huh?" "You little twerp, if you won't crawl out this instant and show us where the money is, I'II break your sister's arm." " What's going on here?" " Nothing's going on." "Go away." "Keep out of it, it's not your business." "help!" "I don't know these men." "They're molesting me!" " Don't scream!" " SherIock!" "Maigret!" "Sic them!" "Go away!" "Go away!" "You couldn't catch two small children?" "Why am I paying you your wages?" "What's happened to you?" " You smell to high heaven." " It's him." "I've washed off that crap." "He sat in fish guts." "But we got the money back that they wanted to spend." "only 200 dollars back!" "From 40,000!" "We at Ieast know that they have the money." "Because of these two twerps we're going to wind up behind bars." "How will we find them?" "Who are these children?" "If two small kids could so easily sneak into the money vault, they have been here before." "We must look over the security camera tapes." "Now then - you two rag tags, go and" "look through the surveillance tapes!" " could we get changed first?" " No!" "And what if they find us?" "How can they find us?" "We're two small kids." "The world is full of kids." "Look, there they are!" "Phone the chief!" " Chief?" "We found them." " I found them!" "And now I see that you talked to them." "No, I'm not crazy." "We threw them out for default on their Ioan." "Now they have a grudge against the bank." "The parents are also involved probably!" "Dammit!" "Where are we to find them now?" "With their relatives." "people like that usually stay with their relatives." "They're in our data base." "could be at their relatives'!" "So look for them!" "And right now!" "Take a shower and find new clothes." "You stink." "I don't." "The kids are home." "When you come back you can box their ears good and proper." "Had a real good time, did you?" "I think your parents are very mad and when they get back you'II get a real hiding." " Dad never spanks us." "And mom?" " well, sometimes." "Here they are!" "Father:" "JanisAboIins." "Mother:" "Anna AboIins." "Kids:" "Louise AboIins and Robert AboIins." " Maybe in the pigsty?" " No." "Maybe there?" "Get off that!" "It's the cover over the cesspool." "Grandma said that it's very deep." "Farm house." "Indani." "Konrad and Maddie OzoIs, the grandparents of our little fugitives." "I'II bet the whole family is there." "I'II eat a rotted dog, if that's not so." "Just take it easy!" "You must wash your hands after the journey!" "well, where were you?" "We didn't find you at your friends'." "well?" "Forgive us, mommy!" "We won't do it again." "That's for sure, because you won't get another chance." "We'II tie a brick to your feet, the both of you!" "Where were you?" "Where on the street did you sleep?" "Answer me!" "well, we went to the city just to walk around." "I'm listening." "Yes?" " Is thisAnna AboIins?" "#" " Yes." " You have two kids:" "Robert and Louise?" " Yes." "Are your parents called Konrad and Maddie Ozols?" "Yes." "Are you staying with them at their farm?" " Yes!" "Why do you ask?" " Mom, don't tell him anything!" "They're bad people!" "What do you want from me?" "hello!" "They hung up." "Bring my car!" " Dad, you have to phone the police." " Why?" "What have you been up to?" "We've robbed the bank." "Why don't you believe us?" "well, if you don't believe us..." "Rob run and get the money." "What's this you're telling me?" "What bank?" "The same bank that took away our home." "They're very bad people, who saw us in the end." "For sure they're the ones who called mom." "If these men come here, then..." "I stole that!" "well, it looks real." "They have the same numbers." "My granddaughter is right." "We have to notify the police right away." "I don't think anyone there will listen to us." "Why not?" "Just think about it." "You phone the police and in a serious voice tell them" " that two babies have robbed the bank." " We're not babies." "If the money is counterteit, the bank will never admit that they have lost it." "will never admit that they have lost it." "Drive fast, but use your brain." "No need to talk to traffic police." "hello." "police?" "This isAnna AboIins." "Yes." "Yes." "I want to report that my children robbed a bank yesterday." "The Credo Bank." "My daughter is seven, my son - five... and a half." "Yes." "Yes, we found them." "No I am not making a bad joke." "No, and no, of course." "No, and please don't laugh at me and don't interrupt me." "This is totally serious." "They laughed at me and told me not to tie up the phone lines with jokes." " Why don't they believe me?" " small kids usually do not rob banks." "And what are we to do, if the ones who phoned were from the bank?" "Then they've found us and will be here shortly." "You have to hide at the neighbours'." "Maddie, you take the children there." "What are you up to, old fool?" "I'II try to delay those bandits for a while." "If you want to play the hero..." "We can't go to the neighbours' because it's beside the main road." "We could run into the bandits when they come here." "One day somebody is going to break his neck." "Even on Judgment Day, the livestock should be in the barn." "nails." "Someone's scattered nails." "I don't care." "Drive on!" "With flat tires?" "Do you want me to run on foot?" " shall we go through the marsh?" " I know a path." "Where were you again?" "Don't do any highjinks now." " Put them on." " Where were you?" "call off your mutt, else I'II shoot him!" " I'II shoot him." " Dux quiet!" "There are only 9800 here." "Where's the rest?" " We spent two bills." " Don't talk to him!" "We have to talk to him, else he'II shoot us." "precisely." "Now, where are the other 30,000?" "30,000?" " Where is it?" "Are all counterfeit?" " Shut up!" "I wasn't talking to you!" " You printed the money yourself." "Goochi!" "If I don't see that money on the table this instant, your dear mother is dead." "The police will be here shortly." "We phoned them." "Ah, so?" "really?" "That was a great mistake." "We phoned, but they didn't believe that kids could rob a bank." "They laughed." "For your own sake, I hope that's so." "And now, for the very last time!" "Where are those dollars?" "We hid them in a safe place." " Where?" " In the barn." "Go!" "Take those kids to the barn and find the money." "To the barn?" "Did I not make myself clear?" "well, show us." "Where is the money?" "Louise, do you remember where I put it?" " Was it by the goats?" " Yes, in the goat corner." "Move aside!" "Don't talk nonsense, boy!" "There's nothing here." "I remember!" "It's probably behind the cow trough." "You remember?" "I hope so or you get a hiding from me!" "Come here." "Go and get it yourself, alright?" "Did you find it?" "What are you doing there?" "KIutz!" "You turn off the light?" "Goochi?" "Goochi!" "Goochi..." "I'm here." "Where are the kids?" "Goochi, I'm off!" "KIutz, calm down..." "Hand..." "Stand up!" "KIutz, keep hold of the girl!" "Robby!" "Robby, come on out." "close the door." "KIutz!" "No!" "Save me!" "help me!" "Where are you!" "help me!" "You'II pay for this!" "hello!" "We would have come earlier, but some moron scattered nails on the road so we had to change tires." "well now, where are those kidnappers of children?" "Konrad!" "AII the money is on the table." "Just look!" "Hey, a little mouse!" "I can't figure out why the police came, because no one believed about the little robbers?" "For some time now, the bank managers and owners have set up a special reward for the uncovering of counterteiting cases." "It gives me great pleasure to present... to you a cheque for 100,000 euros." "The bank owners have asked me to tell you they would be happy to have no more robberies." "Can we make this promise to them?" "For sure." "Yes, we promise." "Right, Robby?" "hold on!" "Weather throughout the day across an area will be warm and sunny." "We wish everyone a good dayl" "Robby is already a good reader." "Yesterday he finished reading 'Treasure island'." "And refer the matter to the port of Riga." "Last night, in as yet unclear circumstances, the passenger ferry" "'Black Pearl' disappeared without a trace from its pier." "An investigation and search for witnesseshas been started." "Port direction do not understand..." "Anna!" "The kids are at home, aren't they?" "Ship's registration location" " Bahamas." "Ship was intended to cruise and pleasure travels."
