"Am I going in or out?" "Go out." "THE CLASS:" "LIFE AFTER" "WE, THE SURVIVORS" "Good morning." "Those guys next to me are Salme, Anti and Kristjan whom you should already know." "Take a seat, please." "Today..." "Perhaps you can tell them what you know." "Anders, Riina, Paul, Olav and Joosep are no longer with us." "Kaspar is kept in custody." "He probably won't be coming back to this school..." "Toomas, Thea and Tiit are in the hospital, and when they get better, they will return to school." "Have you all been to the police and given your statements?" "I haven't." " Me neither." "I have to go during class today." " That's fine." "Anti..." "Now that you're back in class, we have decided to steer clear of math for a while." "Let me know if you would like to do something else or perhaps we can talk about what happened and the feelings that you have?" "I know that it can be very painful but we can talk about all of it." "Boys, could you please remove irrelevant things for now'?" "This is for everyone." "I want you to know that you can do a lot yourselves." "To be there for each other, not only for your fellow students but for your teachers, as well." "Sometimes when you hurt, you can be very cruel without realizing it..." "I would like to a add..." "I wouldn't like it if we'd have to become stricter, but it largely depends on you too, I think, that..." "If you'd be more caring towards each other." "My job is not only to teach you maths but you can always come to me with your problems..." "What is it that can't wait?" "Miss, was Kerli in on the shooting?" "I don't believe so..." "We don't know anything as long as she hasn't been found." "But if she ganged up with Joosep and Kaspar, will she still come back to school then?" "We can't say anything right now if we don't know what's happened." "Yeah, maybe you, Kerttu, wanted to get rid of Anders yourself and hired Joosep..." " All right, that's enough." "Maybe Kerli is already in prison?" "Let's stop saying things like that." "Let the police do their work." "Mayonnaise..." "Bread." "Another..." "Bye!" "Isn't that your girl in there?" "The police is looking for Kerli" "Hello!" "Hello-hello." "Morning!" "Did you see today's paper yet?" " Yes." "So you know?" " I guess so." "Is she with you?" " No." "I'm not kidding around, Ida." "Everybody is excited like hounds in the town and I would not like to drive my official car to your yard." "No." " Very well then." "I hope that the girl will be found today." " Perhaps." "Gran?" "Look at you!" "Barely recognised you!" "I don't want to see anyone." "You must allow me to stay here, Grandma." "If I'd go back now, there's no point in even trying..." "I can't even imagine what's going on in the city right now." "I'm gonna turn into a lame person among all those psychos." "At least let your mum know, so the police won't look for you." "I'll get a nosebleed, you know." "I shouldn't have gone along with those lunatics in the first place." "Should an arse have fingernails, you'd sit in the ceiling." "Granny..." "Please come along." "You left the canteen before the shooting and did not see it with your own eyes?" "Is there anything that you haven't told me?" " No." "Then why did you run away if you want to be so honest?" "I didn't think it would get me into trouble." "So that morning you didn't know that the two boys were planning to attack other pupils?" " No." "And you weren't aware of any revenge plan?" " No!" "And you don't know why they did it?" "As I said, they were bullied." " Weren't you bullied as well?" "How many times are you going to ask me the same thing?" "But why did you leave the canteen just then?" "Because I didn't want to keep eating that crap canteen food." "But why did you run away?" " Because I was afraid." "Of whom were you afraid of?" "There was like a shooting going on..." "Who wouldn't be afraid?" "But why didn't you try to call the police for example?" "I don't know..." "I wasn't thinking..." "The school of killers" "It's Kerli!" "Where were you then?" "Where did the police catch you?" "What are you staring at?" " Oh, Kerli speaks!" "I already thought that you don't even speak Estonian." "Well, I do." "So what?" " Ooh, cool trendy prison season look." "We thought they'd already locked you up." "Leave me alone, please." "You think we don't know that you were in on the shooting?" "You put your new boob tube on and thought it resolves everything?" " Boob tube..." "Very funny." "Ha-ha..." "But why was the police looking for you then?" " What?" "They were looking for you." "What?" "Don't be stupid." "I wasn't in on the shooting!" "What kind of a deal did you have with them that they let you out?" " No one else got out." "Others who ran to the door got shot." "Why didn't you?" "Shut up, I didn't have any deals with them!" "Or why didn't you warn others?" "You saw them first." "You just sneaked away quietly..." "Hi." " Hi." "And why did they have three guns?" "Was the third one for you'?" "Well, as you're already so talky today, speak then." "Why did you escape?" " From freaks like you." "Why am I a freak?" " Kaspar and Joosep are no longer here, so you need to find a new victim?" " Listen, seriously, take it easy." "But what were you doing at the beach for example?" "Shut up, Kerli." " Wait, why do I have to shut up all of a sudden?" "Let's talk then, what you were doing at the beach." " I didn't do anything." "I don't know, you were in the first row there, laughing." " Shut up, Kerli." "Seriously." "What beach are you talking about?" " There isn't any beach." "Well, relax then." " Hush, let the women fight." " Shut up." "Of course it's easy for you to defend those freaks, you weren't in the canteen when they were chasing people around with guns!" "You think that your big fashion statement should prove that you had nothing to do with it?" "Chill out already." " You're totally absurd..." "Hi." "I don't even want to be in the same room with you." "Who knows what you're capable of." "Stop picking on me then!" " Shut up then!" "What?" "Nothing happened, right?" "Nothing at all?" "Don't you like understand that you just as well put those guns in their hands yourself?" " Kerli!" "What is happening here?" "Kerli, I'm very glad to see you back in school, but when you weren't here, then we decided that we'll be more caring, and we'll stick together." "Yeah, I can see that you're all sticking together." "Kerli!" " Okay, I'm sorry, miss." "Kerli, wait!" "Look, we agreed that we're not going to tell anyone about what happened at the beach." "Sorry if we were too rough in there, but we were just, you know, messing around..." "But you won't tell anyone either, will you?" " Why not?" "We don't need any more trouble." "You too." "None of us wants to be kicked out of school or..." "Or upset our parents..." " Yeah." "So you're planning to just bury the whole thing?" "No, well, not the whole thing, you can say that you were on the beach if anyone asks, just hanging out, but about watching the boys, well..." "We won't talk about that." "Will we, Kerli?" "Damn, why didn't I tell it to the police yesterday'?" "It's not funny, I mean it." " Me too." "We won't talk about it to anyone, will we, and don't you do it either." "Listen, think about it, Kerli." "There's no need for any trouble." "It wouldn't change anything anyway." "No, talking is just what I intend to do now." "Okay then." "Suit yourself." "Do what you want." "Actually, when she alone talks about it and we all say that nothing happened, then no one will believe her alone." "Go, go then." "Go, talk." "Talky as you are now." "Why did you come back anyway?" "Did anyone need you here?" "Why did they need a photo for this monster anyway?" "Kerli, what were you talking about earlier - what beach?" "Well, the beach stuff, what happened the night before the shooting." "What beach stuff?" " What, you don't know?" " No." "Seriously?" " No." "What happened then?" "Well, Anders, Paul and Toomas, and I don't know who else, organized Kaspar to meet Joosep on the beach, and then like pulled a knife on Kaspar and made him do..." "you know... thing on Joosep." "What thing?" " Oral." " What?" "!" "And everybody just looked on, and no one helped them." "Why didn't Kaspar and Joosep fight back?" "You wouldn't mess around much if there's a knife shoved into your back." "It's definitely a police case." "But why hasn't Kaspar told about it?" "I'm sure the police would have asked about it then." "I don't know." "Maybe he's too embarrassed." "Would you tell?" " No." "And now everyone says that Kaspar and Joosep went crazy and started shooting out of the blue." "What's going to happen then?" "I think a visit to the little men in blue is in order." "Don't go to the cops yourself." " What should we do then?" "I don't know but you had trouble with them before." "Now you will simply for there and tell about it all." "I need some evidence for when the girls really start to lie." "You will need evidence in any case." "Bye then." "What took you so long?" "We were already talking about other things." " What about?" "Thea is in here!" "It's totally impossible to find you." "The doctors and nurses look at you like you're a thief or something." "Hello." "Wow, "Spring"." " Mom brought it." "Did they interrogate you too?" " Yeah!" "God, it was horrible." "Totally bombed me with so many questions." "What did you tell them?" "Oh, I don't know, about Anders and Toomas and..." "What does she want from here?" "Was that Kerli?" "Do you know anything about Kaspar?" "What do you care about that creep?" " No reason..." "Tiit?" "Kerli?" "I came to give you your homework." " What?" "Laine said that you'll probably spend a lot of time in the hospital, so you can't fall behind for that long." "What?" "!" "I can't even..." "Nice one." "Ha-ha..." "I can't laugh..." "How are you feeling?" " I don't know." "I'm a bit sad." "I can imagine..." "I haven't slept all week." "It's just impossible." "I wanted to ask you something about that beach thing..." "Jesus, I already said I'll keep my mouth shut." "I haven't told anyone about it and I don't intend to." "You don't have to worry about it." "What, you were told to keep quiet?" "Well, that's what was agreed..." "The camera you used at the beach, what happened to it?" " What about it?" "Have you still got it?" " Yeah, I do." "Can I borrow it?" " What are you going to do with it?" "I'll take it to the police." "Don't go to the police." "There's no point, Kerli." " Yes, there is." "We agreed..." " I haven't agreed to anything." "Think about what's going to happen later." "I don't want..." "If my mum finds out what happened..." "But that didn't occur to you at the beach?" "I don't care, I'm going to give myself up." "Why do you need the camera then?" " Well, in case you all decide to lie..." "I don't want to feel ashamed of myself because of all this." "Those who actually caused the whole bloodbath are just going to walk away?" "They are dead, aren't they?" "Isn't that enough?" "Please don't be such an idiot like Kati and those other sheep." "You won't get those pictures." "Hello." "I'm from Tiit's class." "Tiit is not at home." " I know." "I lent a book to him which I need at school, and Tiit himself..." " What's your name?" " Kerli." "Come in." "I can look for it myself." "I really don't want to bother you." "What book is it?" " "Ivanhoe"." "Never seen a book like this in here." "Listen, I'll call you back." "I cannot talk right now." "Did you find what you were looking for?" " No." "Maybe he lent it to someone." "Thanks, bye." "Senior Commissary Neeme Murro of Northern Police Prefecture" "Kerli, eat." " I don't want to." "Eat." "I had a bad dream." " It was just a dream." "But I dreamt that a pig was shitting snow, the cat's arse was on fire!" " Raimo!" "That sort of talk from a child!" "What?" "Grandma says it to me all the time!" "You don't have to repeat everything you hear from Grandma." "I want to go to the country." "You can go during holidays." "Now move or you'll be late for school." "No I want to leave for good." "When you get married, you can move where ever you want." "I want to sleep." "Are these all the names of the people who were there?" "Yes - me, then Anders Allikmäe, Toomas Sinijärv," "Paul Mägi, ﬂit Vaher, Olav Neeme..." "Mägi..." "Tiit Vaher?" "Yes, he was the one who took pictures." "Then Kaspar Kordes and Joosep Rääk of course." "Liisi Stein, Kati Kass, Thea Vaikmaa, Riina Pajumets..." "Marilin Must." "Kati, Liisi - I think I already said." "Read it and sign it, please." "That's it." "Kerli!" "Wait!" "Come, I'd like to speak to you." "I've spoken to your literature teacher as well..." "Can't it wait, I'm kind of in a hurry..." "Kerli, I'm asking you to talk to him even a little." "It's for your own good." "Right now'?" "I spoke to your teacher, and she's very worried about you." "For some people it's more difficult to get over a traumatic experience." "Why don't you talk to her then?" " I'm talking about you." "You don't have to worry about me." "I'm fine." "Really?" "But you seem to be tired." " Yes, I'm awfully tired." "I'll show you a couple calming exercises." "You can do those at home, these will help you sleep." "All right." "Sit down and make yourself comfortable." "Very well." "At first just try to take deep breaths." "Take it easy, there's no rush." "The aim is to relax." "Breathe in again." "And out." "If you feel some stress in your body, just try to relax the place and breathe in again." "And out." "Just try to relax the place and breathe in again." "And out." "Good." "There's no hurry." "Close your eyes." "Very well." "Now breathe in again calmly." "And out." "In." "And out." "Imagine yourself in a place where you have always felt good." "Calmly." "I don't want to do it anymore, it's very stupid." "Relaxation might take some more time, it..." "It won't change anything anyway." " It might change things for you." "It won't, I know it already." "How do you feel right now?" "It's disgusting." " What's disgusting?" "Everything..." "I feel disgusted because I don't have a place here." "Here where?" " I'd like to move to the country." "But what exactly is it that feels strange to you, Kadri?" "That's alright." "Kerli." "Kerli?" "Yes." "My name." "I'm sorry!" "Kerli." "Can I go now?" "You can't keep me here." "Can I come with you?" " Whatever." "What feels strange to you?" " I can't be bothered anymore." "The way people act or something else?" "If something is eating away at you, it's better to deal with it." "Otherwise it will stay with you." "Do you hear?" " Yeah, even my Grandma tells me that." "Are you stressed or what?" " This will only be between us, right?" "Go wait outside and tell us if anyone's coming." "Did you go tell on us to uncle policeman?" "Well, did you?" "Say it." "Yeah, I did." "Are you scared?" "Where is your policeman then?" "Why haven't they already arrested us all?" "Oh!" "Maybe it's because - oh!" "The husband of Tiit's aunt works at the police..." "What do you think, Liisi?" "Maybe he just chucked it..." "What do you mean?" "Well, they came to talk to us - me and Liisi and Kerttu and, who else..." "They asked us what happened." "Well, what did we say..." "We haven't seen anything..." "I told you - no one will believe you alone." "Now we know what kind of a traitor you are, want to turn in your classmates." "Well, that trick failed." "But I knew from the start that you'd ganged up with Kaspar and Joosep." "Why else are you so protective of them?" "Yeah, maybe I am ganged up with them." "Maybe I am!" "Ganged up with some lame fagots?" "What - they were fags just because they didn't suck up to Anders?" "At least they weren't some sort of prima donnas who mock others and suck up to their dads to beg for some change for sweets." "Maybe you haven't noticed but the more you're trying to diminish others, the more you actually diminish yourself." "No, you're the embarrassing chick." "Along with your Kaspar and Joosep..." " A fag!" "At least they weren't sleazy and scheming like you." "They didn't let others walk all over them and didn't walk all over other people." "Kati, your dad's car is at the front!" "What are you doing?" "Are you crazy?" "Why didn't you stay in that lame forest?" "Did you ever beat up anyone?" " No!" "You don't walk around with a knife...?" "God, mum, of course not!" "Where did this come from then?" "Have you bullied anyone at school?" "No, I haven't!" "I haven't done anything!" "It was you...?" "You told them those horrible stories about my son..." "Calm down, Merle, take a seat." " Tiit, what's happening?" "Come here, Kerli - isn't it?" "Kerli, come, let's talk." "I've spoken to your classmates who you said were supposedly on that beach - but none of them corroborate your statements." "None of them?" "You haven't spoken to them all!" "We have your statements alone..." "But the photos!" " There was nothing." "There were Merle's birthday pictures, a trip," "Tiit's photos taken at school but nothing to suggest any criminal activities." "It can't be..." "Tiit, where are the photos?" "Kerli." "A false accusation could get in you in a lot of trouble." "If you tell me right now that what you told me was not true, then I'm willing to forget the whole thing, but only because you're Tiit's classmate and friend." "It did happen!" "Tiit!" "You're going to stand by it?" " Of course!" "Of course no one wants to confess, they're afraid..." "Tiit, why won't you help me?" "What a great pal you are indeed, first pretend to be a good friend, then abandoned him and let some idiots walk all over him." "Do you think he would've done that to you?" " Shut up!" "Kaspar would've helped you anytime!" "Lie still, you don't have to talk to her." "I'm not going to hide other people's mischiefs." "God, does she have to be in here?" "What would you do if someone held a knife to your back and told you to give head to someone?" "What?" "You get out of my son's room...!" "My son hasn't done anything," "I don't know why you have to say those things about him..." "Yes." "I was there." "It happened." "I made some pics." "I made some pics." "What happened to the photos?" " I hid them." "You told me that you haven't done anything." "I have." "Now you know." "Happy?" "Okay, in that case this talks did not take place." "I cannot take your testimony without your lawyer present." "Aren't the photos enough?" " No." "And we won't say another word." "As your relative, I cannot deal with this thing anymore." "I'm very sorry but you'll have to manage on your own now." "I can't believe this..." "I can't understand what's happening to you..." "What I've done wrong." "Where did I make a mistake?" "There's a boy or two in every school who tend to get up to mischief..." "But all of you..." "That you're so..." "so heartless." "The police will contact those who have anything to do with it." "You may go."
