"It doesn't suit you at all." "Who gave you that name?" "No idea." "I was called that in school." "I think you're more like something big..." "A bear, or a mammoth." "Stop it!" "Yes, a mammoth." "Nonsense." "I won't be able to meet for the next few days." "Why not?" "I swapped shifts with somebody." "It will be a while." "I'll call you." "I didn't realize..." "Hello, Mr. Widmer." "I'm Mr. Lewinsky." "I just wanted to put this up." "If you don't like it, you can put up your own." "There you go." "Have a nice day." "What the hell is this?" "Robbi, come down here."

"Let me call the cops." "I'm sure they'll be nice and help you look for it." " No." "Come on, piss off." "I don't have your money." "And I'm serious about the cops." "Out!" "Hello." "Please leave a message after the beep." "Ugh!" "Volker?" "Boo!" "Your old tricks." " I saw you coming." "I saw this for you." "I couldn't resist it." "Here." "Oh, no." "Honestly, Ellen, it's really not my style." "That's a shame." "The address." "I don't have his." "I already told you." "Marita forwarded the letters to him." "Call her." "I'm not in the mood for Pocke." "I really couldn't give a shit." "This is about Samy." "For 20 years, you sent it all to her." "Enough is enough!"

" Otherwise they'll turn on us." "What the hell are you doing?" "...the actual perpetrator remains unknown." "Widmer's release caused a furor."

"Three people were allegedly involved in the attack." "Ernst Felbert was shot shortly after the failed kidnap attempt." "Volker Widmer served a 22 year prison sentence." "Marita Gellert fled to the former East Germany with the help of its secret police." "In 1991, she turned state's evidence in return for immunity." "What now?" "Fuck it." "Here's the key." "The thing with your apartment, I'm sure it was him." "Using his master key." "He's been in my apartment too when I wasn't there." "I just can't prove it." "What kind of gun was that on the bed?" "I got it when I heard you were moving in." "I have to go get beverages." "For the party tonight." "Everybody has to help." "It's compulsory." "Come help me?" "The water pistol." "You have a child, right?" "Had." "Whoops." "A shortcut." "I know this road." "Are you screwing with my head?" "Stop the car." "This is the road to the villa." "What's the matter?" " This is the road to the villa." "Stop the damn car!" "Let go of my hand immediately!" "What villa?" "It's a shopping center!" "This is a shortcut." "Stop lying." "This is the road to the villa." "Oh, right." "You mean the old Seichfeld villa?" "It stood empty for 10 years." "It was torn down." "That's a mall now." "Furniture, supermarket, anything your heart desires." "Is this the way you came?" "You and the other one?" "That's how it was, right?" "There was a woman with you?" "And then it happened?" "What happened?" "You shot them." "Why do you want to know?" "They say it was you." " Then, I guess it must have been." "That's why they sent you up for so long." "That had nothing to do with who got what." "We all got nailed." "Everybody who was there." "All of us." "The full monty." "They didn't give a shit who did what." "It's not an issue with us, got it?" "OK, then calm down." "Great, Robbi!" "Put something else on!" "How about "Hey Macarena"!" "Hello, come down!" "Your lawyer was here." "Ms. Weber." "She rang my bell." " How do you know she's my lawyer?" "She introduced herself that way." " What did she say?" "She told me to give you this." "Do you always open other people's things?" "If they climb into my apartment, yes." "I could take it off!" "No, don't." "He warned them all." "Lewinsky." "About what?" "That you were moving in here." "Asshole." "Could you get that in prison too?" "You can get anything in prison." "So it's better than out here." "I had a son too." "He was 8 when I went in." "Now he's 30." "I wrote him every month." "He probably never even got them." "Those idiots sent all the letters to Pocke." "That's his mother." "I still have one letter." "I'm going to give it to him in person." " What else?" "What else are you planning to do?" "Don't know." "Check my bank account." "Get a driver's license." "Simple things." "What went wrong back then?" "What do you mean?" "With you guys." "We were too stupid." "You too?" "No, not me." "Just the others." "And now you're dead." "Not all of us." "In prison, after I got out of solitary," "after weeks, months..." "I don't know how long it was." "But I remember exactly how I awoke from the dead." "I opened my eyes." "And there was a spider." "A spider, right?" "An animal, something living." "She spun her web." "And we waited for days for something to fly into it, the spider and I." "But nothing came." "How exciting!" "But there's more." "One day I heard a noise." "A buzzing." "It drove me crazy." "I thought, hey, the spider has grown wings." "Of course, it was a fly." "I caught it and put it in my friend's web." "And she actually ate it." "The next day, I put her in an empty cigarette pack and released her in the exercise yard." "Wow." "Nice story." "Yes, nice story." "Later, I had a dream where it happened all over again." "Only this time" "I was the fly." "Hey, open up!" "We don't lock our cells at night." "Don't run away!" "You're one of us now!" "The number you have dialed..." ""...the problem must be addressed, either by forcing the homeless out of the city, or by integrating them into society." "The chances of success, however, seem slim..."" "Hello?" "Who's there?" " Me." "Saul?" " Correct, you cunt!" "Kiss my ass." "Open up." "I have something for you." "An address." "In Berlin." "It was in your shirt pocket." "We can leave right now." "In Lewinsky's car." "It's the fastest way." "What happens when we get there?" "You go see her." "And you?" "I'll come with you." "Stop snooping!" "This is from Yemen, from the Red Sea." "My friend Abdul gave it to me." "He survived two attacks." "Now his arm is numb." "I swapped it for my gun." "A Nazi army pistol, a Walther PPK." "It was pretty valuable." "It was right here." "It's always right here, this is my parking spot." "I often let Ms. Matos use my car if she had something to transport." "But she's never done this." "He took her with him." "I've already called the police." "They say it's not theft, since I've given her the key before." "It's private." "Can't you do something?" "I mean, this can't go on!" "He's a terrorist, he kidnapped her!" "Did you see Mr. Widmer drive off with Ms. Matos?" " No." "Then you shouldn't make rash assertions!" "But he trashed his apartment." "Some mess, eh?" "It's not your furniture." " Yours, perhaps?" " Yes." "That's her real name?" "Are you sure?" "I know that she lives alone." "Not Matos?" "None of your bloody business!" "They must..." "I'll call you right back." "Ellen." " Fish?" "Long time no see." "Yeah." "Could you leave us alone, please?" "The super called my colleagues." "And they called you?" "Yes, because I know him best." "You don't really believe it was kidnapping?" "That guy is just blowing steam." "Does the media know?" " No, why?" "Just his probation officer." "I called him just in case." "He's stable." "I mean, this here... it just doesn't make any sense." "The woman is Valerie Matos." "I know her well." "She's the one who put me on to the apartment for Widmer." "She was a client." "She lost custody because of child endangerment." "Why did they take the child away?" "The kid stole something." "It was nothing, really, a bag of candy in the supermarket." "She thrashed him so badly that the director of the Seichfeld mall pressed charges." "Seichfeld mall?" "She beat him so badly." "She kicked him in the stomach in front of everyone." "The kid had a fracture and internal bleeding." "He was in the hospital." "When was that?" "About 9 months ago." "What are you doing in her apartment?" "Ellen..." "Yes?" "Valerie Matos her real name is Berner." "Berner?" "One of the victims." "The gardener who ran up at the villa Seichfeld." "The one who tried to be a hero." "Maybe you've forgotten." "I had no idea that was her, Fish." "That's what I said." "Thanks." "Why do you want to come with me?" "I'm curious." "My issue with Pocke is about Samy, not about the movement." "But she might let something out." "You never know with her." "So you'll wait outside, get it?" "I see." "I'll wait in the getaway car." "Only the real tough guys get to go in, is that it?" "Bullshit." "What does a person have to do to join?" "Gun down a 90-year old Nazi, or what?" "Shut your trap, that's enough." "Somebody like you would have had a good chance of joining us." "Get in with the wrong people, and that's it." "The first time I saw you, I knew right away what was what." "The way you pinched my shirt, no questions asked." "Yada, yada." "Did you think I wouldn't notice?" "Or the way your apartment looks." "Everything higgledy-piggledy." "But you still know exactly where everything is." "Or the way you grab that can and open it without even looking." "It could be a gun, it'd be just as fast." "That's the way it is." "And if you check those things out," "you realize it's someone like you." "Are we taking a break?" "Come on, my round." "All this, please, plus some sausages." "Aren't you eating anything?" "My treat." "You shot my father, you bastard." "That's 6 euro 80 please." "Stop!" "I know anyway." "I was there!" "You were where?" " At the villa Seichfeld." "Tell me it was you!" " No." "It wasn't me." "I swear." "Open the door." "The papers thought I was a boy." "I was in a lot of the pictures." "How do I know, you psycho!" "Tell me about it!" "How did you shoot him?" "I didn't know it was happening." "If I knew, I'd tell you." "You've got no chance." "The police will be here soon." "I'll go home and you'll have a problem." "Move away from the door!" "Open it!" "Open the door!" "Unlock it." " OK." "The gardener's young son." "That's what the newspapers said." "We left it that way to protect the child." "We found him up in the hunting blind when we worked the crime scene." "I went up because he wouldn't come down." "He was shaking like a leaf, even though it was so hot." "That hit me worse than seeing the dead bodies." "It was a girl." "Yes, exactly." "A girl." "Let me tell you what really went down." "In detail." "The whole truth." "The man - your father- hit me with the hoe." "I lost consciousness immediately." "Felbert carried me to the car." "So it definitely wasn't either of us." "That's certain." "In the car," "Felbert tore Pocke a new one because she got hysterical." "Pocke blasted away at everything." "I didn't care when she testified against me." "I was going away for life anyway." "Pocke saved her own ass, so what." "She was always the weak link." "In every operation." "In Yemen, she shot at Abdul by mistake, the stupid cow!" "So, that's everything." "I'd have told you without all the fuss." "We'll get rid of that later." "I knew everything about him." "Where Saul bought his cigarettes, which hand he used to pee." "Everything, absolutely everything." "I don't believe they left together." "And if they did, nobody can forbid them to do so, Fish." "Yes, I can." " No, you can't." "Especially not you." "And that makes his lawyer happy!" "What's that supposed to mean?" "Maybe you wanted to do him a favor?" "After such a long dry spell." "She's pretty, your client." "And young, right?" "Enough!" "We're behaving just like we used to." "It's pathetic." "You are!" "I'm not." "There you go." "Everything's there." "The garage." "The nice glass roof." "We even took your suggestion for garbage disposal, Dr. Scherer." "Where's your husband going?" "Doesn't matter." "What do you think of it, our luxury building?" "Doesn't look like much, but it's a miracle of technology." "The quietest building in the world." "Up here, in the front, the rolling gate is absolutely low-noise." "Do you think... excuse me..." "do you think that'll bother anyone?" "Do you think it'll bother anyone?" "Stop it, Samy." "I don't think so." "My granny would have liked this." "She put the shutters down by hand." "Every day." "As a precaution." "For protection against hate." "Hate." "Hate towards my granny." "And me." "You should stop drinking." "Do you know what they yelled when I came home?" "Saul!" "And the game was 'maul Saul!" "'" "'Maul Saul'!" "Stop this now, OK?" "Go take a cold shower to get your head together, OK?" "OK." "Come on." "It's like back then." "It's sounds idiotic, but it's like back then." "He's coming to pick me up." "And I'm pissing in my pants." "I'll take care of you." "Oh, good, I don't have to ring." "Go in there!" "In there!" "What do you want?" "Hey!" "How about this place!" "Let's make it cozy, eh?" "Like the old days." "Not that, please!" "Sweet." "What's this?" "Huh?" "Your memoirs?" ""Dear Samy..."" "Samuel Widmer." "Aha!" "Read." "Read something to me." ""It was a..." "I could..."" "Keep going!" " It's torn." ""But maybe... we could fly a kite..."" "It doesn't..." "Read!" "In whole sentences!" ""We had goulash with noodles." "Everything tastes like cardboard." "Usually they do the pudding pretty well, but whatever they did..." "We got out into the exercise yard yesterday." "The sky was so blue."" "That's all there is." "I don't understand why you didn't give them to him." "What's this?" "Samuel Stein." "It's from my son." "Clean that up!" "Clean that up!" "Drink, drink!" "It usually never rings." "But it's ringing now." "So answer it!" "I'm not going to answer it." "Answer it!" " Please, that's for me!" "You're going to answer it." "Answer!" "Happy birthday!" "Hello?" " Happy birthday, Marita!" "Were you already in bed?" "What are you doing?" "Drinking!" "Drinking." "With a friend." "The champagne." " With a friend." "The champagne." "It's a good bottle." "Do you already know?" "They actually let him out." "It was on the radio." "Yeah, we heard." "Hello?" "Who's there?" "I'm an old friend of your mother's." "Do we know each other?" " Yes." "From where?" " From a while ago." "Awhile ago?" "Help me out here." "We met once on a bus." " On a trip somewhere?" "No, a city bus." "You were with your mother and your mother had a doll." "But you were real." "You got to get off the bus early." "You were lucky." "It was in Freiburg." "It was steaming hot." "In July." "Wait a sec, are you...?" "You're..." "I was with my father at the time." "Could I speak to my mother again?" "She's busy opening another bottle." "But I'll tell her to call you back." "See you." "Bye-bye." "Who are you?" "Who was that?" "I don't know." "I'm you." "I'm one of you!" "Don't you know me?" "Don't you know me?" "And you?" "Who are you?" " I don't know." "You don't know?" "Have you forgotten?" "I understand that." "Want some help?" "Shall we play a game?" "Yes?" " Yes." "See that?" "What is that?" "What is that?" " It's... maybe..." "Yes, exactly!" "That's you!" "A fat Pocke." "Really plump." "And if you wait, you'll see all the fat squirt out." "That's me." "Yes." " More precisely!" "Who of them?" " On the left." "Very good." "And?" "Somebody's missing!" " I don't know her." "I don't know her either and I don't give a shit." "But there's somebody else." "Think about it." "Wait." "Who shot the picture?" "Look at it!" "I'll tell you in a sec." "Wait." "Oh, yeah?" " Yes." "My father?" "The little employee of the great director?" "The gardener?" "Do you remember?" "Do you remember?" " I don't know." "You came on the bus." "Just like we did." "I recognized you right away on the "wanted" poster." " On the bus." "Exactly." "On your way to the villa." "Oh, yeah?" "Yes." "Your hair was long and dark and you had a baby in a sling." "And then what did you do?" "What did you do?" " I got off the bus." "Then you threw the baby in the wastebasket." "No, it was a doll!" "It was only a doll?" " Yes." " Shit." "It was only a doll!" "It was a fucking doll, eh?" "Get up, you pig!" "Come over here!" " It was Saul!" " Come!" "Listen!" "Listen to me!" "It was his gun." "It was a Nazi army pistol." "He liked it." "He always said it smelled of pig's blood." "He shot Seichfeld." "And your father." "It was him." "Get dressed!" "What's going on?" "I know where your son is." "What did you do to her?" "We drank champagne." "It's her birthday." "Did you forget?" "What did she say?" "A lot." "All lies." "This is it." "What are you waiting for?" "Talat?" "Come here, please." "That's him." "And who's she?" "His probation officer, or what?" " No idea." "You stay inside." "Hello." "I think I know who you are." "He's not here." "Can I wait for him?" " No." "Leave." "I'll tell him you were here." "He'll get in touch." " Why are you lying?" "You know what this is?" "It's a high-security compound." "Idiotic, eh?" "But Samy needs it." "You know why?" "Because he's still a child." "Because he needs to be protected." "Because he still soils his pants, and can barely stand to be alone." "Fear of the bogeyman, you know?" "And you know who that is, what the bogeyman looks like?" "He looks like you, Saul." "Enough of this babble." " Who are you exactly?" "You're lying." "He's here." "Get him out here." "How dare you talk to me like that!" "Let them in, Talat." "So here you are." " Yes." "I still have a picture of you." "You look younger in it." "Been a long time." "Here." "What's this?" "My last letter." " Forget it." "He never got your pudding letters." "She tore them up, get it?" "Because there was nothing in them." "Who are you?" "This is none of your business." "Oh, I see." "None of my business?" "None of my business?" "Down." "On your knees." "Tell your son what you did." "Look at him!" "He has nothing to do with it!" " Yes, he does." "He was there too." "Now tell us what happened, about all the people you blasted away." "You weren't there." "Marita was on the bus with you." "You got off first." "We had people outside waiting." "It was planned that way." "See!" "You were camouflage." "You're responsible too." "Get my drift?" "Please stop." "Put the gun down." " Keep going." "Where were you?" "Tell him!" "I was in the getaway car." "She got off with her father." "Marita followed." "They went into the villa." "We hadn't reckoned with that." "You didn't reckon with it, eh?" "No!" "Don't!" " You asshole!" " Stop." "Put the gun down!" "We weren't prepared for that." "Marita started shooting right away." "I was in the car." " That was you on the phone!" "Where's my mother?" "Don't move!" " Where's my mother?" " Shut up!" "Sam, no!" "Shut the fuck up!" " What did you do to her?" "Valerie, come on!" "Come on!" "No!" "You're supposed to be dead!" "You're supposed to be dead!" " Come on." "You're supposed to be dead!" "Come on now!" "Have you heard anything?" "Will he make it?" "Hard to say." "It was a through-and-through." "He's in shock." "I feel that way too." " Fish!" "Yes, OK." "Yes?" "Where?" "No." "They found Gellert in a bar." "Completely drunk." "It looks like they went to see her beforehand." "I'd like to know where they got the address." "What do you think?" "I'm sickened by all this, I mean it." "I'm the loser here anyway." "I always arrive too late." "Every time it counts." "It was always that way." "And these days I dine out on it." "I tell you, Ellen," "I'm getting out." "For good." "I gave him the address." "You couldn't help it." "Oh, great!" "I used to think somebody up there had a million strings in his hand, had it all under control." "But that's not true." "He's out of his depth." "He lets us dangle until our bones creak." "So it's time for a break." "Let other people do this." "Ellen?" " Yes?" "I've wanted to tell you something this whole time." "What is it?" " It's stupid." "I'm it wasn't my first time in her apartment." "What?" "Well, it was... we'd met before." "We used to meet." "At my place." "The whole shebang?" "I gave a speech on the anniversary." "The usual Red Army Faction stuff." "It was a full house." "And then?" "Afterwards, she came up to me." "I liked her and it just happened." "I was naive, I trusted her." "Just like you." "You did, right?" "My God, Fish." "You're such an asshole!" "I always thought it was my fault." "Because I ran away." "Because my father was so angry that I'd picked the doll out of the trashcan." "Take your shirt off!" " What?" "I want to see the scar." "You smell of something." "You stink." "Of pig's blood." "We always went swimming on Thursdays." "He wore a white, cotton swimsuit." "He could only do the breaststroke." "I was always faster." "Then I'd swim under him." "His trunks were... you could see his sex." "I found that exciting." "I wanted to look like him." "That's why I cut off my hair." "One time, on my birthday, we were in a toy store." "Pick something, Valli, he said." "Whatever you want." "At some point we left and I hadn't chosen anything." "We'll come back, he said." "We'll come back." "We just hadn't planned on you." "It all went bad." "Seichfeld was outside, alone, the way we'd planned." "He went for Pocke with knockout gas." "There was nothing left to do." "I had to take him out." "Then your father arrived." "The hoe hurt like hell." "I dropped the gun." "Then somehow I grabbed it again." "Then I pulled the trigger." "I shot him." "It was like a war for me, with hundreds dead." "A shitty war." "And I survived it." "Without thinking much." "Just like that." "That sucked and I really don't know why I did." "Honestly." "Wait!" "It's all over." "Suddenly." "Somehow everything's different." "All of a sudden, I'm afraid." "I wanted to tell you that." "Hello!" "Did you see a white car drive by here?" "Yeah." "It went that way." "Really?" " Yes." "Are you a policeman?" "No."
