"Please, calm down." "You will sleep now," "Hannah." "Yoon..." "Yoon!" "Neustadt, a new city for new people," "Neustadt, a secure city, in an increasingly insecure world," "Neustadt, the autarkic city for the 21st century," "50000 citizens, 50000 times individuality," "25000 living units, cut to the individual needs of the owner," "From the low-cost single flat to the luxury penthouse," "The Neustadt Security Service protects its citizens around the clock," "Schools, sports grounds, doctors, kindergarten, swimming pools, etc, etc," "Neustadt offers an infrastructure, others can only dream of," "You don't get paid for shopping." "Why are working hours called working hours?" "Yes, those kind of questions keep us up all night, Herr Sledezinski." "Sledzinski." "Without 'e'." "Sldzinski?" "Frau Scholl, I have you in my sights." "I have you in my sights, Frau Scholl." "Having him as your enemy isn't good, Paula." "Just imagine having him as your friend!" "He smells like soap and water weren't invented." "Hannah Schreber, good morning, what can I do for you?" "Yes." "Yes, I'm ever so sorry." "Surely, you are familiar with the reports." "Because of temporary water rationing..." "Yes." "Yes." "Be assured we are doing our best." "Meanwhile, all that helps is saving, saving, saving." "It's in your interest as well." "Thank you and have a nice day." "Should I personally deliver them a can of water?" "They're so smug up there." "Yes, I will pass it on." "Yes, well noted." "Four unauthorized men on the 15th." "At 10.30pm. We'll see to it." "Many thanks for your cooperation and have a nice day!" "Your Neustadt-Kaufpark delivery was eight hours late." "One moment please..." "Breakdown on the 17th?" "Hannah?" "What is it?" "No, not again." "You need a doctor." "Nonsense." "It's just that I faint sometimes, that's all." "You're done with today, Frau Schreber." "I'm 100% again, honestly." "Get some fresh air." "It'll do you good." "Frau Scholl?" "Seize them!" "Are you deaf?" "You?" "Hannah, you have exhausted your water contingent," "Bang." "Code verified," "Hello, Branco," "Why are you doing this... to me?" "!" "The hair - you think I should cut my hair?" "I don't understand... how anyone can waste... their entire time reading." "Hannah, we have to stick together." "You understand?" "Sandwiches." "I'll prepare sandwiches." "Who did you let fuck you?" "Help!" "Help!" "Please promptly inform the Citizen's Bureau of Internal Security, of any suspect and unauthorized persons on the premises," "Your security, comes first," "Coming." "At last." "Come in." "That you lasted so long..." "It wasn't always like that." "He wasn't always like that." "Marc, that's Hannah, my work colleague." "Hello." "Not this alcohol-free shit again!" "Sure." "And wear something decent, not all girls... are as hardened as me." "I don't deserve this woman, do I?" "Yeah, one of us got lucky, but it wasn't me." "Sensitive as a power drill, my pixie." "It just started a few months ago." "He is completely changed." "Completely changed." "He doesn't sleep and works out for hours." "I can't stand it any longer." "You're moving out." "We'll find something for you." "I'm handling the suicide on the 11th floor." "A single woman." "So..." "A free flat!" "11th floor..." "But all these flats are category C. How am I going to afford it?" "Maybe I should just move out of Neustadt?" "Moving out?" "Are you mad?" "You might as well jump out the window." "11th floor - that's simply too expensive." "Leave it to Mama." "Maybe I should give Branco another shot." "Yeah, that's a really good idea." "My sister also did that." "She kept giving her ex another shot, until she landed in intensive care." "Beaten half to death." " He didn't beat me!" "Not really." "He is really..." "I don't give a shit how he really is, as long as you're out of there." "11th floor," "I didn't realize books were so heavy." "Well, you're not very experienced with books." "Whoa!" "That stinks!" "I'm going to be sick." "They aren't kids, they're monsters." "Don't take the normal lift!" "Not enough that they're doing it in the swimming pool." "Now they're pissing on each other!" "They think they can get away with it, just because they have kids." "Is it our fault that you can't keep dogs... on the lower floors?" "Darling, are you coming?" "Sorry." "Darling!" "Please note that there is generally no smoking," "Thank you," "It's about your health," "Code verified," "Hello, Hannah," "Not bad." "Okay Ladies," "I'm outta here." "Booze breath again..." "One beer." " Sure." "But french-kissing you would land me back with the AA!" "That's not really that great." "Before long Branco will know where I am, and then what?" "Yeah, that's why I was thinking... this... would make the right home warming present." "But I can't just break his skull, Paula." "Better his skull than yours." "In any case, I'm not going to let you succumb to your fate." "Fate..." "You've got friendly neighbors in category C." "There..." "Anybody fancy another nibble?" "There..." "And what do you do?" "Work-wise?" " We're working for the C.L.S." "Security personnel!" "Ah, that's nice." "Max, here." "Head of department?" " No, we're only grade G." "We work hard, earn nothing, have no say, but when things go wrong we get the blame." "Yes..." "The flat is really too expensive, but I had no choice." "All the same." "Hannah, I'm so happy that you landed here with us." "There below..." "There she crashed." "Can you see?" "She was always such a..." "Loner, always absent-minded." "She didn't really fit in with us." "The dog," "Our best friend," "What a man!" " Let's not become his worst enemy," "What an ass." "Wagner has a great ass, super." "But darling!" " Some asses give you the appetite for..." "The ass we have at home..." "Another drink?" "God bless you," "Your Georg Wagner," "Take that, it stinks dreadfully," "What is it?" "Nothing, nothing..." "Mind if I join in?" "Have we been too noisy?" "Did they complain again upstairs?" "No, no, it's all fine." "All fine." "I'm here in a private capacity." "Darling..." "Why don't you introduce me?" "That's Branco." "My husband." "I knew it." "No singles on the 11th." "I'm Sophie." "Hi, Sophie." "Nice dress, Sophie." " Thanks." "You play?" "No." "But I think I'm going to." "That wasn't nice." " No." "Please don't." "That doesn't sound convincing." "We must stick together." "Do you understand?" "You can tell me now, darling." "Who?" "When?" "How often?" "Why don't you open the door?" "Maybe it's Paula." "I don't want to see her." "Really?" "I'm sure she'll be pleased." "She'll be pleased that you've come to your senses." "No?" "Want me to have a look?" "Open the door now, bitch!" "Door secured," "Hannah open the door!" "Damn it, open the door!" "Get lost!" "Hannah, we must stick together." "We must stick together!" "Go away or I'll kill you!" "I'm serious!" "Get lost!" "I'll kill you!" "What weakens us, is not lack of strength, but our fear." "It's about learning how to succeed." "To succeed in defeating our fear." "We're always our own worst enemy." "What you're going to learn here is more than a little martial arts." "The program should teach you... how to redefine yourself," "to loosen mental blockades." "Not by mangling... and psychologically investigating each other." "We don't discuss, we act." "When Anna joined us five years ago, the community had almost given up on her." "She hadn't left her room in a year." "What was it like, Anna?" "I really hit a low." "And I was pumped full of antidepressants, about to call it quits." "I couldn't even recognize my own daughter." "Anna has turned herself into who she is now." "A bundle of energy, fearless... and free." "Well..." "Yes." "And her scream cut through the steely blue sky," "She was no longer a human, bursting into pieces or plunging, falling, snapping under gravity, but never again being, who she was," "At once she felt her whole weight, leadenly putting one foot in front of the other," "And she caught herself wishing she could free herself of her legs," "Can I help you?" "It wasn't fate driving her any longer, but she herself gave her life," "Sorry, I hate losing my cool." "I hope I'm not overstepping the mark but..." "It would make me very happy, if you let me buy you a drink." "Shit." "You would really help me." "Let's take the other one over there." "That's quicker." "I'm sorry, Hannah." "But she's only doing her duty." "Good evening, Herr Lasalle." "Is your father any better?" "Probably." "He died last night." "My condolences." "It's dreadful losing a loved one." " Yes." "I always thought the day my dad died would be the best in my life." "But when it finally happens..." "That last smile on his face..." "'Don't count your chickens!" "'" "In the end he just babbled." "'Don't count your chickens, son!" "'" "Willed it all to my uncle, that old crock." "In civilized cultures, the bereaved smash each others brains in." "Grief is rarely part of it." "Instead they have a lawyer." "Adieu, mon cher Papa." "Bonjour, Hannah." "Santé." "Looks like you're really into books." "Books just give and don't expect anything in return." "People want to possess you." "It's possible to become possessed with books." "With me it's a bit like that." "Here an auction, there an auction..." "It's like an addiction." "Becoming obsessed is the opposite to being obsessed." "You're unusual." "I heard that before, that I was odd." "I said unusual." "I always wanted to maintain a low profile, but other people found that strange." "Sorry, I just meant it positively." "I do what everybody does, just when I do it, everybody..." "Sorry." "Atmann, my little cripple." "Come, sweet toots." "Why don't you get comfy over there?" "Hello?" "What?" "No." "Hannah." "You know each other?" "Yes." "Yes, we do." "Training hours." "It's my second job." "Please excuse me." "You know what my horoscope says?" "Your relationship is going to deepen spiritually." "If you're single, you're going to meet the right partner." "Apparently this is the year of Pisces." "Haven't really noticed much of it, the year of Pisces." "Are you Pisces too?" "Yes." "So?" "Did you notice anything?" "About the year of Pisces?" "But the stars appear to mean well with you." "You're suggesting Eric Lasalle and me?" "Wishful thinking, honey." "Erik fishes exclusively 'on the other side'." "Sentimental eco-kitsch... and all those postmodern gimmicks... have no right to exist." "Blow it up!" "Away with it!" "I thought that the term 'social plastic'... could be well utilized for my work." "Neustadt is an urban structure, which understands the social as creative difference." "That means... making social difference communicable," "as a counter design to the totalitarian claim of modernism." "The new human..." "How could you attack my child!" "Your bastard is not laying hands on my purely-bred Bärli." "But Gabriel loves dogs." "The bastard lies as soon as he opens his mouth." "Why don't you go and leave us in peace!" " Just go inside." "I'm afraid, Herr Wagner, that this could be the consequence of today," "We don't yet know how such a large amount, of explosives, could have entered Neustadt unnoticed," "Herr Auerbach survived the attack, although he will be bound to a wheelchair," "Get all the latest on the attack here," "God bless you," "Your Georg Wagner," "Where are you going?" " Home." "How convenient." "What's convenient?" "I missed you." "That was a one-off." "I'm not the type that cheats on her husband." "And what type are you now?" "Separated." "But you still didn't call." "Why am I not allowed to miss you?" "You could do with someone." " My needs are met, thank you." "You'll see, I'll be of help even against your will." "The help I need I can only give myself." "Danneberg's lesson." "How do you know that?" "Knowing is my job." "Hannah," "Have you seen Max?" "He'll be back." "Maybe he tracked down a bitch in heat." "Max is castrated." "Would you like to come in for a bit?" "With pleasure." "Are you not bothered living in a flat where someone..." "Well, you didn't know Yoon." "It's nice talking to someone again, in private." "You know, my wife is extremely jealous." "She always wants to know everything..." "I discuss with others." " Jealousy is terrible." "Exactly!" "My word!" "In a marriage trust is most important." "But my wife..." "She's generally got very odd habits." "You've got to know that... when we do it, which luckily doesn't happen often now," "she..." "She bites me." "Nobody minds a little biting, but it never turned me on." "She knows that." "That's why she does it." "She bashes her teeth into my flesh, as though she wanted to tear out a bit." "I guess some day she will." "You don't believe me." "Look at it." "Here." "Touch it." "Here." "Feel it." "When you stroke over it with your fingers, you can feel the imprint of her teeth." "She mustn't find me." "Please." "Please..." "She mustn't find me!" "I hope he didn't bother you too much." "Has he also told you the story about the biting?" "I knew it." "He always does that when he finds a woman attractive, he appeals to their motherly instincts, or something like that." "Sometimes it works." "With Yoon, for example." "I would've left him, but he's helpless without me." "I think that nobody should leave someone cause they're ill." "Please excuse the intrusion, Hannah." "And should you hear about Max..." "We have to stick together," "Citizen's Bureau of Internal Security." "What can I do for you?" "Do you know what happened to Paula?" "One moment please, I'm connecting you." "Frau Schreber?" "You've never seen Marc, understand?" "Are you coming?" "Call me when you know." "Yes, on the 14th." "The book..." "It's about the 20th anniversary." "It's going to be a big thing." "With government representatives, with investors, and uncle Auerbach will have recovered by then... and make his first public appearance." "I'm happy that he's improved." " Yes, we all are." "Aren't we, Georg?" "What a scoop!" "Considering the massive media interest." "As terrible as it is." "I haven't promised you too much, have I?" "Isn't she adorable?" "Look, Hannah, we're looking for someone with street credibility." "Someone with whom the audience can identify, do you understand?" "I too don't know, why they chose me for the speech," "But one thing I do know:" "Neustadt is a people's city, a safe one," "Here, Max." "Here's someone for you." "Follow us." "What about your husband?" "We live apart." "Quarrels?" "Really bad quarrels?" "The neighbors report violent threats and excesses." "'I'll kill you.' Were these words spoken?" "When Branco got furious, he said such things, yes." "Not he..." "You told him 'I'll kill you'." "We have witnesses." "How do you explain that?" "Maybe he met someone." " I see." "If I had someone new, I wouldn't leave my flat like that." "I don't know." "What's all this about?" "You're exceeding your authority." " I think I don't agree." "For a C.L.S employee this case is..." "We don't even know whether it's a case yet." "A man disappears without a trace, and his wife doesn't know a thing." "A mummified female corpse was found... rotting in the escape shaft." "There are thousand ways to disappear." "Is there any evidence... for third-party responsibility?" "Come on," "Frau Schreber." "There's a sip of vodka left, want some?" "Mister Hauks?" "My speech." "I hope that I'm able to string a sentence together." "We all play the game, somehow." "And you play well." "You'll be wonderful, cause you are wonderful." "I don't know Branco's whereabouts." "Don't worry about smelly, I'll handle him." "What is it you want from me?" "Practically everything." "Humility is a virtue." "Virtuous, honest and direct and no games with you." "Seriously, what do you want?" "You know I'm crazy for you." "You know I'm crazy." "It wouldn't work." "Call me." "I can't promise." "Yes, hello?" "We have to stick together," "Branco, is that you?" "15th floor," "What's happening here?" "What do you mean?" "Can I trust you?" "I mean..." "Can I really trust you?" "I think I better take you home." "I don't want you regretting this tomorrow." "I don't want you to get scared again." "Hannah, you have exhausted your water contingent," "What's wrong with you?" "And Marc?" "Better leave it." "Better you don't know." "How about you?" "I'm happy for you." "I really thought... that after Branco there's no way forward." "At least, not so fast." "Be careful, Hannah." "Hauks is from City Security, one from above." "That's just his job, Paula." "Sometimes you're so naive." "I have to go." "'Thank you for handing over the signatures and assigning us your demands, which we... '" "Here it comes:" "'Lt's not within our scope... to reintroduce the family card for the pool." "We deeply regret that." "But, the economic situation... resulting from increased water prices is forcing Neustadt AG management... to consider market-based solutions... '" "They don't give a rat's ass about us." "I suggest... we relocate the rally to the roof." "I hereby declare this a 'people's swimming day'!" "Hannah?" "This is Sophie, our dog, Max, is dead," "Murdered," "We have scheduled a memorial for Tuesday, 9,30 am," "We do hope that you'll pay Max your last respects," "We have to stick together," "I spy with my little eye, something that is - dead," "I spy with my little eye, something that is, dead!" "We have to stick together, do you understand?" "Get lost." "Just get lost, Branco." "What a surprise!" "Well, come in." "Water?" "Still?" "It's a shame that you stopped coming to the training." "You were so talented." "We have to stick together." "Stick together." "Have to go..." "I must have been mistaken." "I must... 11th floor," "And one day it stops." "What?" "When I hear a heart, I wonder how it doesn't forget to beat." "You're nuts." "And that's just a temporary blood congestion." "Did he beat you?" "Yes, he beat you." "The swine." "You can trust me." "What are you trying to make me admit?" "With your faked photos." "These are video prints." "From the CCTV cameras." "Taped in the night of Branco's disappearance." "I made them myself." " It's possible to fake a video." "You can do it on every computer." "Who has access to the data?" "Who's the cop, me or you?" "You have to examine the tapes." "They got to be fakes." "The tapes don't exist anymore." "I've destroyed them." "These prints are all that's left." "But not for long." "Hannah, please tell me the truth." "Branco is alive." "I saw him." "You saw him?" "It was him." "The calls, you..." "Branco is behind all this." "He wants you to think I'm crazy." "Branco is like a wild beast." "He doesn't share his prey." "That's the list... of all calls you received in the last month." "They're all people you know." "There were no anonymous callers." "Do you think I'm imagining all this?" "That's what you're thinking." "I don't really care what you did to your husband." "What's between us is important." "Let's stop talking about it." "It just didn't happen." "Yes, it just didn't happen." "Don't waste it," "Are you coming?" "We are waiting." "Where to?" "To the funeral." "Max is dead." "But I left you a message." "You didn't leave me a message." "Anyhow, we're all off to the funeral." "All of us." "The entire 11th floor." "We have to demonstrate closeness." "Showing where we're from." "I'm busy." "Sure." "One's got to do what one's got to do." "Have a good day!" "So, what are you up to next week?" "You're not celebrating either." "There may not be any real cause for celebration, but since we were born after all, we might as well celebrate." "And I thought we could..." "The two of us... just have... drinks, or something like that." "I'll bake a cake." "The one I'm famous for." "But then let's get pissed." "Totally." "Guess what, they sent me a complaint." "The lawyer said they wanted to intimidate me." "I also get calls." "Really sick stuff, like something's going to happen to me." "He said first they're going to get me, then my daughter." "Apparently all calls are monitored." "Apparently every caller can be identified." "Just like with me." "Exactly like with me." "Yes, please bear with me," "No," "I can't tell you what to do about the dead birds in the escape shaft." "Connecting you..." "There." "Please." "Hello." "I'm Silke." "We are working together now." "They took Paula in." "This morning, in handcuffs." "Please follow me." "Let go!" "By taking advantage of her position at the Security Bureau," "Paula Scholl smuggled the former terrorist into Neustadt," "Links with the attack, on Auerbach could neither be confirmed nor ruled out," "Smelly's set a trap for you." "Sledzinski believes you're in cahoots with the terrorists." "And that you made Branco disappear, so he wouldn't tell." "But he's got nothing on you." "Nothing." "Ash." "Not the smallest piece of evidence, get it?" "We've got to stick together, Hannah." "Now, from the top." "Since when have you known the man who called himself Marc?" "Sit down." "Links with the attack, on Auerbach could neither be confirmed nor ruled out," "I've just learned that the suspect avoided questioning by committing suicide," "He was found hanged in his cell this morning," "God bless you, Your Georg Wagner," "'This town is now a reality." "Thanks to you, Herr Auerbach." "The outside world often asks us... '" "Paragraph." "I will look at him." "Pause." "Bang." "Food is ready," "Did you see them?" "The cur." "Oh, the goddamn cur." "The dogs." "You see, they're murdering our kids." "They've let them bite my son Gabriel to death, before chucking him in the pool." "But now, we're striking back!" "Calm down." "You will sleep now, Hannah." "Hannah... is pretty, like Anna." "Cause both names can be read... both ways round." "They stay the same." "Just like Otto." "But Otto... isn't pretty." "Why are you looking like this?" "You really... don't have to be scared of me." "Of life." "Of a shitty life, that's what you should be scared of." "Tell Paula not to be scared." "I'm fine." "Now." "Anna?" "Where is she?" "I have to see her." "The patient's condition is critical." "Why are you telling me, Doctor Dolittle?" "Leave me alone." "I'm a doctor and not a..." " Out!" "I said, out!" "Do you think she's ready?" "I think so." " Thinking is not good enough." "There's too much at stake." "Can we commence with the next phase, or is she suspicious of you?" "Since I burnt the evidence, Hannah's been eating out of my hand." "It's not my fault that the spark didn't ignite." "You were responsible for the campaign." "The Auerbach problem will soon cease to be a problem." "At the latest, when Auerbach is no more." "Is that necessary?" "Inconsistency would be fatal." "You're a miracle!" "Pumped full with this stuff but still able to run out of the room." "The administered drug causes a hallucinogenic reaction in some patients." "Judging by your screams, you must have been through a lot." "And Anna, the woman, who..." " Unfortunately she succumbed to her injuries." "There was nothing we could do." "I understand." "And she understood." "Paula?" "Hannah!" "You weren't supposed to..." "Drink." "Where's the point?" "Now, there's a point." "Electronic foot-cuffs." "As soon as I leave my flat - alarm!" "Great technology." "Great piece of technology." "Great, great." "The chip... with a point!" "Marc sends a message." "You don't have to be scared, Paula." "He's fine, now." "Say, you think that's funny?" "I talked to him, Paula." "It wasn't suicide." "They have him on their conscience." "They also murdered Anna." "And Yoon." "But it always looks like an accident." "Or suicide." "They injected me with drugs to turn me into another person." "Everything was planned." "Everything." "I know that Branco has a part in this." "And Frau Danneberg." "You're right, we have to keep quiet about it." "Talking... or keeping quiet, whatever." "If we keep quiet, we'll be safe." "And he always answered me." "You don't know her, but you'll get to know her." "From now on and for a long time... there will be no more victors in this world." "Only the vanquished." "Chin up!" "I'm reporting from the crematorium." "I'm not going to let you succumb to your fate," "You don't know her," "But you'll get to know her," "Hannah, is pretty, like Anna," "Both names can be read, both ways round," "An animal in winter." "System maintenance reduced to a minimum." "Yes, that's how I lived, how I survived." "But then I rose from this long sleep." "All was easy." "What happens, happens." "This I looked at me." "And this I... was someone else." "Hannah." "Are you nervous?" "Not yet." "But I will be once I'm out there." "I hope that I'm able to string a sentence together." "You'll be wonderful, cause you are wonderful." "Have I told you that Sledzniki, was suspended from his job?" "He can't harm my little Hannah anymore." "You're clean once more." "I think you were right." "I killed Branco." "And just didn't want to believe it." "We said we won't talk about it anymore." "What?" " His time has soon come," "See you soon." "Some idiots tried to set fire to the express lift." "Total chaos." "Door open," "Do I have a rival?" "Flowers for Auerbach." "Even if I blow it, he won't forget the flowers." "See you soon." " In a bit." "The gun in the lilies, Hannah," "You're safe, I'm with you," "You slut!" "You goddam slut!" "You cunt!" "You traitor cunt!" "Move on, Hannah, they have no power over you," "If he stops you - strike him!" "Animal killer!" "You animal killer!" "Your filthy bastard deserved no better!" "You goddam filthy bitch!" "Filthy bitch!" "And the second angel has come to judge us... with fire!" "And sword!" "Go back, Hannah!" "Go back!" "Please move away from the entrance area," "Not past the detector!" "Wait!" "What took you so long?" "I was afraid you got caught up in the riot." "Come." "Just a little water, yes?" "Very well." "How nice!" "Come with me." "I'd like you to adorn me." "There's quite a commotion down there." "That's my fate." "I'm always at the wrong party." "Sorry, you got a moment, please?" "Excuse me." "More and more violence." "Why can't people just simply live together, simply..." "Keep that with you." "That's so nice, so nice." "Who talks the language of violence places himself outside society." "There can be no more dialogue with him." "What's lacking are clear boundaries." "One should use a high-pressure cleaner to free Neustadt from this vermin." "It's the only language these criminals understand." "Ladies and gentlemen, this is a special day." "20 years Neustadt." "Welcome here with me... a living legend." "Our generation... can but bow before such vision and pioneering spirit." "But before Herr Auerbach raises his voice, we have some citizens waiting to pay homage to his work." "First of all... a modest, little Neustadt employee." "One of those we may confidently call the silent majority." "The true Neustädters." "Not to be confused with the mob, who's showing its ugly face today." "Neustadt is a people's city." "A secure city... in an increasingly insecure world." "They have chosen me to tell you... how the ordinary Neustädters are doing." "But I cannot speak in their name." "Because they don't know what I know." "But they should know." "In Neustadt people disappear." "Here in Neustadt, people are liquidated." "The liquidations..." "Look like accidents." "I've seen them... myself, with my own eyes." "It's not too late." "You just wanted to make a mark." "We have to stick together."
