"If you could go anywhere..." "Where would you go?" "A cold country, at the end of the world." "Short summer, long winters." "Vast and silent." "Ya, ya, good!" "Right! Hepp!" "Hepp!" "Hepp!" "Go! Few believed you would make it back, right?" "Even less that you would find him." "It was the dogs and luck." "Nothing else." "To the dogs, to luck and to you Alaska." "Open it up." "A 1st class ticket around the World." "You've earned it." "We all think so." "Cheers!" "(On phone) This can wait Jonathan." "No, she's gone on vacation." "I can't tell you, that's a secret." "Everywhere and nowhere." "Who knows?" "Yes, I'll tell her when, and if she comes back." "Are you trying to poach my best agent, Jonathan?" "Not really?" "Better for you." "Yes, sure." "On Tuesday, until then." "The competition never sleeps." "I can't leave." "That's a shame." "Why?" "My parents silver wedding anniversary." "This is a 1st class ticket." "That you can use whenever you want." "Look at the world." "Check back in a few months." "Does she know?" "What?" "You told your wife?" "She knew it already." "What did she say?" "She made me choose." "And?" "Life is choices." "You know that." "At night, I think about you." "You're my 1st thought when I awake." "But you don't know my wife." "She's resentful." "What should I have done? You have 3 new messages." "Message 1, Sunday, 12:44 clock" "My little Swallow, when you hear this message, I'm probably dead" "Died of a broken heart, because my only daughter has forgotten me." "We have to read about your success in the newspaper." "The neighbors know more than we do." "Not a word from you, since you're back." "Now please pick up the phone and call your mother." "We want you to choose a new dress to celebrate." "It will be your big night." "I can't tell you how happy I am. "Look at the world."" ""Come back in a few months."" ""Life is, decisions." "You know that." Trick or Treat!" "Get out." "Come here!" "Sit down!" "Give it to me!" "You suck!" "Be quiet!" "I'll get you something sweet." "Did you move in yesterday?" "Your dad has a beautiful Teddy bear." "What is your name?" "Hey!" "This is not for you!" "Then to the devil with you!" "What? Hello? Hello? Excuse me!" "Hello!" "Here, they're for your daughter." "Thanks, but I have no daughter." "Oh, this little beast is not yours?" "From me?" "No." "I live alone." "At least until now." "I'm locked out..." "And?" "I can't break it open." "It's expensive." "You can't open the door?" "With that belt?" "And those machines?" "A pro." "Thank you!" "And the chocolates?" "Are for you." "Okay..." "little monster." "I gave your father the chocolates." "I have no time for this now." "Come out now please! I can't believe you even answer my calls." "Yes, because who else?" "Guess who's in the "Gala"!" "Wrong." "Guess now!" "Your father and I ... and the Minister." "In the same image." "And you know what's written under the photo?" ""... in a dress by Versace." And not a word about the Minister." "Father invited him to the ceremony." "How do you do that?" "He says he might come." "Tell me, do you have a visitor?" "A friend?" "A child?" "Oh, a little ghost." "It is so funny!" "Tomorrow we are buying a dress for you." "Because I'm your mother." "I pick you up." "See you tomorow! "I have no daughter."" ""I live alone." "At least until now." Mama!" "Help, Mama!" "Hello? Hello?" "Help!" "Hello, little ghost? Hello? She's in your car." "What?" "Your child." "My child?" "She's sitting in there hammering on the door." "Let her out right now!" "Come on in." "Let her out now or I'm calling the police." "Now!" "Unlock it!" "She was in here." "And now she's invisible?" "She was here." "I'm going to call the police." "Call them, othewise I will." "Did you do this?" "Are you crazy!" "Little One!" "Hello!" "Gone, huh?" "We'll call the police." "For what?" "The car is insured." "And the child also?" "I've seen her in your apartment." "When?" "Earlier." "In my apartment?" "I think not." "And this here you believe?" "I don't know what you see or hear." "No child lives with me." "Have you eaten the chocolates?" "I don't like chocolate." "So you haven't?" "No." "Not eaten, really?" "Let's forget it." "I have enough trouble." "Your trouble starts now, Buddy." "Police, emergency services." "Hello?" "It may sound a bit funny:" "There's a child being held captive." "Your name, please." "Johansson." "Johann?" "Johansson, Alaska." "Like the country?" "Yes, like the country." "Your address please?" "Westhafenkai 18." "Now listen to me?" "Yes, you can speak." "It's obvious a child is being held prisoner here." "How old is the child?" "I can't say exactly." "I haven't seen the childs face." "It's dressed up as a ghost." "Male or female?" "Female, I think." "Where's it being held?" "At my neighbors." "What's his name?" "I didn't ask him." "He moved in yesterday." "The drills and hammers around the clock." "You mean abuse?" "I have no idea what he does with the child." "He says he has no child." "He's lying." "I've seen her." "Where is the child locked up?" "First, she came to my door." "Then I saw her with him and in his white Combi van." "I'll transfer you." "Kottmann?" "Who are you?" "Forensic Psychology Service of the Police." "What can I do for you? Thorwald Everest Walker, the new head of the pandemic Program of W.H.O. in Geneva, dismissed speculations , the virus was grown in laboratories and deliberately been circulated." "The scientists continued for research purposes at an unknown location." "As the W.H.O. took Walker with a eminent specialist into the leadership of the organization." "Mom." "Police!" "Can you open up please?" "Well, Ms. Johansson, your neighbor does not want to talk." "What does that mean?" "He would not let in me." "Do you want to report this?" "He was just in my apartment." "Have you seen him?" "No." "Was that him?" "Yes, but I've asked him." "You?" "Yes." "When?" "Yesterday." "Why?" "I locked myself out of my room." "So I went over to him." "You to him?" "What could I do?" "I was half naked." "Why?" "Does that matter now!" "I brought him chocolate." "Not for him but for his child." "To this ghost." "Ghost?" "It had a cloth." "Like at..." "Halloween." "Yes, exactly." "This is only in November." "But here was his child." "His child?" "Do you think I'm making this up?" "I'm not saying that." "Are you making this up? Alaska Johansson, unfortunately no one is home." "Messages after ...." "Alaska, I've been thinking." "I need to see you." "Please pick up Alaska." "I'm going to leave my wife." "I'm serious." "It will not happen quickly, it will not be easy..." "Please pick up." "I'll wait for you this evening at Spoleto's." "At our table." "Are you awake?" "Do you remember what happened?" "Oh, look my little swallow, you're still here." "You'll be fine." "The doctor says your very lucky." "Are you listening?" "What do you think?" "Where are my shoes?" "Everything here." "You look like a mummy." "You look good, Mama." "Oh no, terrible." "I look terrible." "How are you doing?" "Do you have pain?" "Does it hurt?" "No." "Don't believe a word, doctor." "Of course it hurts." "Look at my finger." "What day is today?" "Monday." "And where are we?" "Hospital." "You are in the emergency room." "You had an accident." "Do you remember?" "You'll stay on the ward." "Look What I bought for you." "My God, who is that?" "Patient, late 20s." "Had an accident." "All of these?" "Prof. Johansson..." "Yes?" "Can we talk for a minute?" "Where are you going?" "To go home." "Ms. Johansson, You're hurt." "I feel much better." "You have bruises, lacerations and a concussion." "I can't let you go." "I'm fine." "Where is the exit?" "You stay here." "Ms. Johansson..." "Yes?" "Well, here i am again." "...and then at the traffic light?" "Yes." "You had your foot on the brake?" "Yes." "On the brake and the car takes off, just like that." "yes." "Just like that." "The central locking system went on and off." "The belt was choking me." "On the neck?" "Yes, it tightened." "...tightened." "Have you looked in the trunk?" "In the trunk?" "There is no more trunk." "Was there something in the trunk?" "Maybe." "What?" "A beating." "A beating." "We'll look into that." "The car was new, right?" "And you just got it?" "Yes, but the car belongs to the company." "Can I go now?" "Can you go?" "We can take you home." "No thanks." "Could it be that you simply drove off?" "Just like that?" "Yes, just like that." "Could it be that your wife is cheating on you?" "You've known it for a long time and think of it every moment." "Could that be? Who have you been talking to?" "Have you seen the child?" "Did you tell the police?" "Or anyone else?" "I know she's here." "Alaska Johansson." "Messages after the beep." "The propellant charge in the belt tensioner has tightened the belt." "When?" "Immediately before impact." "Not before?" "All the airbags opened." "Brake assist initiated the emergency braking." "The electronic system worked perfectly." "She said the belt choked her." "But not at the lights." "Certainly not." "She heard a noise in the trunk." "Which women always hear." "The insurance company assumes Ms. Johansson is lying." "How you doing?" "Well..." "Wouldn't you agree the passenger is a handsome boy? Thank you." "Hello, am i interrupting?" "Shouldn't you ..." "... be in bed?" "I know, but I'm hungry." "Really?" "That's a good sign." "Admirable, really." "Thank you." "may I, just briefly?" "You're welcome." "We had a small..." "Yes, I saw it." "What can I do?" "Nothing." "Would you write me a prescription?" "I can't sleep." "Okay." "Do you have pain?" "No." "Dizziness?" "Nausea?" "Do I look like that?" "If scars remain..." "My father is "THE" Cosmetic surgeon." "Trust me." "She wont be back for 15 minutes." "How do you know?" "Don't you know what she's doing?" "Should I?" "She pukes out the expensive food." "It always takes 15 minutes." "See. 5 minutes..." "Rest for 5 minutes" "Five minutes to be beautiful again and then go on." "I would like Rohypnol." "That would be incredibly nice." "What would you do in my place?" "Nothing." "Nothing?" "Should I not feel at least a little bit guilty?" "Or begin therapy?" "Leave that to her." "She feels guilty." "Day and night." "Believe me." "How did you come up with this idea?" "Because she's worth nothing, she is dirt." "She wants to be punished by you." "What do you think?" "And then she cries." "Yes, she cries." "Every day." "Why does she cry?" "Why can't she eat, can't sleep, can't go on holiday?" "Just like everyone else." "Every minute a tragedy." "Every little thing, every banality is a nightmare." "That's why she's crying." "She pukes the food again." "It is hell to live with her, believe me." "Hell." "What would you do in my place?" "Hurt her." "We have a visitor?" "That's a coincidence." "I just asked the Doctor for a prescription." "I'm Alaska Johansson." "Ms. Johansson had a serious car accident." "Actually it's a  it's a miracle that she sits here." "But I don't believe in miracles." "Therefore, it's no miracle." "What do you do for a living?" "I hunt people." "In restaurants?" "Wherever I find them." "Are you a hooker?" "In a way, I work for a headhunting agency." "If you're looking for a specialist, the right man for the job." "I find him." "I'll bet." "Yes, but I quit my job." "Oh, why?" "Someone tried to kill me." "I can understand that." "Dear friends, you'll just have to go on without me." "Don't run off, ok?" "How did you manage that?" "What?" "So to unsettle him." "Where did she go?" "Gone." "What did you tell her?" "I should give you these." "Then it's just the two of us." "Um, yeah... Our daughter was an unhappy creature." "She was a deformed, abnormal child." "She could not crawl, not eat, not even scream." "That's how she looked when she was 6 years old." "At 11, at 16.." "Here at 23" "There's no trace is left to see, is there?" "Did you do the surgery yourself?" "42 operations." "42?" "Did she attend school?" "Do you know how cruel children are?" "We got a private tutor." "The best." "Is she your only child?" "Who would want more children after that?" "Your father is a magician." "Not the smallest scar." "Have you ever actually thanked him?" "What for?" "For everything he has done for you?" "Only you, Alaska." "Anything for you." "You're right." "But what good is beauty, when no one sees it..." "Listen, that's all a conspiracy." "And it's your colleagues." "Oh yeah?" "And why?" "Why, why ..." "They envy you your success." "Because you are beautiful, because because you're great." "I'm so proud of you." "You still get a bit of publicity." "Oh, come on." "Has anything else strange happened?" "No." "Your father has talked to the lawyer." "They'll obtain expert advice." "The car is a lump of metal, it looks like a meteorite." "You laugh..." "Meteorite..." "Oh, we'll take it!" "No!" "My God, what have they done to you?" "It's nothing, Mom." "It doesn't hurt." "It doesn't hurt?" "Of course it hurts, what does it look like." "The doctor who treated you, is a bungler." "Why don't we sue him?" "I slept with him." "You did not." "Yes." "He has a cello in the kitchen and hair on his back." "A cello in the kitchen?" "How?" "You don't even know him." "So what?" "You slept with all my friends, without knowing them." "Do not scratch!" "It itches." "Don't do that." "Mama! Dad." "Where were you going? Where is the child?" "Where is it?" "Where is the child?" "You again?" "Yes, here we are again." "Are you hurt?" "That's not my blood." "How long have you been there?" "Who did this to you?" "My neighbor, but they arrested him." "Can I get a coffee?" "Sure, I'll make you one." "I haven't had a chance to set up." "Alaska..." "Yes?" "Why didn't you call?" "I wanted to call, but what would I say?" ""Good day, I'm fine," for example." "Yes." "Right." "The insurance company called." "Those scoundrels believe you're an impostor." "An impostor!" "Imagine that!" "What did they say?" "They do not want to pay." "Why not?" "They have pictures." "They have witnesses." "The witnesses say you just started driving." "I didn't." "Doesn't matter, I'll pay that myself" "You will not pay!" "Because we will fight and win this process!" "And the insurance company will pay." "Well, fair enough." "You didn't just start driving?" "No." "It was a technical defect." "For all I care, yes." "What do you mean, "for all I cae"?" "You didn't start driving just like that, right?" "No." "I didn't." "Thank you for coming." "And now tell me:" "What happened here?" "When I woke up, he was in the apartment." "Who?" "The man from across the hall." "What did he want?" "I do not know." "Was he a thief?" "A pervert?" "Did he force you..." "I think he was looking for something." "What?" "What was he looking for? Ms. Johansson?" "Come on in." "Good morning." "This is my father." "Very pleased." "I want to apologize." "We've arrested him for the time being." "All right." "A perverse psychopath, right?" "Maybe so." "Maybe?" "Maybe so." "He has been watching you, with a Telescope." "Did you know?" "Yes." "You got me the day before yesterday on an emergency call." "You spoke of a child." "Yes." "What kind of a child?" "Which child are we talking about?" "You've seen it?" "Yes, in his apartment." "Which child did you see?" "He has a child." "A girl?" "Yes." "He says it lives with the mother." "I don't think so." "Can you describe the girl?" "She was dressed up." "But it was a girl?" "Yes!" "The voice..." "It had a small child's rattle." "The one who did this, he also tampered with the brakes on her car." "Right?" "Maybe so." "Do you have the car examined?" "Yes." "Then what do you mean maybe?" "I mean, maybe." "Don't touch anything." "Forensics will be collecting evidence." "Goodbye." "Can I speak to you a moment?" "I've got something here for you." "I told my wife to go to hell." "How did you know?" "I didn't know." "You knew it." "Okay." "Goodbye." ""Your father is a magician..."" ""We will fight and win..."" ""Have you ever thanked him?" "Always, only you, Alaska."" ""Living means decisions."" ""Then you should go to hell!"" ""Every minute a tragedy."" ""Every banality is a nightmare."" ""Are you in pain?"" "[Singing]:" "Don't look so sad!" "What's wrong with you?" "If sorrow torments you now and then, come safely to me." "Don't take life so hard." "Just remember a trick:" "No matter how angry you are, music helps." "If you don't know how to go on, don't just sit around." "Let sorrow be sorrow and think of this good advice:" "Sing a song, if you are feeling sad." "Sing a song, if no girl kisses you." "Sing a song, because then it's easy to forget." "Trala la la la la la." "Sing a song, then the sun will laugh." "... then you won't be alone ... and you'll be happy." "Trala la la la la la." "Even if people are asking, if here's nothing else she can do, you need to say in response:" "I'll start this from the beginning!" "Sing a song, if you are feeling sad." "Sing a song, if no girl kisses you." "Sing a song, because then it's easy to forget." "Trala la la la la la." "Hello." "What are you doing here?" "I wanted to see you again." "Thank you." "Dear Father, dearest, most beautiful Mama," "Today is your wedding day." "It never rains, when you're having a party." "You are the proof of how long you can endure together if you would only try." "I would prefer to return everything you gave to me but a life is not enough." "Mom, are you wearing the dress, you bought for me." "And you're right." "It suits you better." "I never experienced our house so full of guests before." "I remember:" "A look from you was enough and I had to go." "I can never be beautiful like you, Mom." "But I no longer have to hide." "Without your care, your sense of shame and especially your effort, Dad," "I would have remained what I was." "I can not take from you, what you took from me and not forget what you have long forgotten." "Why should I?" "Mom, you sing so beautifully." ""If you don't know how to go on, don't just sit around."" "Who knows this better, than the two of you?" "Upon you!" "All the best! Ms. Johansson..." "You are injured." "I can't let you go." "That's how she looked, when she was 6 years old." "At 11, at 16.. here at 23" "There's no trace left to see." "Have you seen the child? Got you!" "I won't hurt you." "Take it easy!" "Take it easy!" "Take it easy." "It's you? It's all good." "Hide yourself!" "Take it easy!" "Calm down! Good morning." "How are you feeling?" "I'll be back." "Did she say something?" "No." "What have you given her?" "Haloperidol." "Right." "How much?" "5 milligrams." "That's not enough." "That is enough." "Don't tell me what my Daughter needs." "I'm a doctor!" "So am I and I run this ward." "Hello..." "Can I take my daughter home tomorrow?" "I'll ask her, if she is responsive." "She'll say she's fine, that she is alright." "She won't tell you the truth." "Yes, how could she?" "Is it here?" "Ms. Johansson, is it here?" "Where is it?" "I can't see it." "It's not here?" "Okay." "I am here, yes?" "I'm here." "If you could go anywhere, where would you go?" "A cold country, at the end of the world." "Short summer, long winters." "Vast and silent." "Yes, vast and silent." "Your dreams are special." "You describe them so beautifully." "Ms. Johansson?" "Ms. Johansson!" "You wanted to stop doing that." "Your parents have come." "They're waiting in the cafeteria." "What should I say to them?" "Tell them I'm sleeping." "Yes?" "Sorry, if you have a minute..." "I'll be right back." "Doctor?" "Alaska." "Here you go." "Thank you." "The parents are still waiting." "Tell them Ms. Johansson sleeps." "Okay." "How is she?" "Better." "Has she eaten?" "Yes, brown bread with egg." "Did she have any special requests?" "No." "Emergency!" "Emergency!" "Compress!" "Two IV's - atropine 1 to 10!" "One... two... three..."
