(thunder rumbles)

(fire siren)

... ...came back. (They talk indistinctly)

We haven't found anything. What are we supposed to do now?

That's a little weird.

This letter here! Three lines she wrote... ...three lines. Sounds like

a suicide note!

(thunder rumbles)

We should get some air.

I was about to kill myself.

And now I'm supposed to get some air.

Isn't the world crazy?

You tried to kill yourself? - Hm.

I wanted to go in the water.

Normally, in weather like this...

... ...nobody goes... not even swimming!

But... But for a million. you can do that.

One million euros

is not a lot of money. Is it?

It's always about the money.

I don't know which one of us I don't know which one of us came up with the idea.

But, uh... we have life insurance. insurance.

He for me and I for him. One for the other.

Till death us do part.

If you die, he gets a million?

In the end, I...

I've got... I got... scared.

(He gets a text.)

Did everything go all right?

So about the suicide note! Great!

How did you manage that?

Did you hurt her?

And where is she?

So her body? - It'll turn up.

Uh... Before you count it: There's something missing.

Half. That's all I could get together I could get together in a hurry.

Are you tired of living too?

A few more days!

Then you'll get the rest. - I'll be in touch.

Thank you!

Drive!

It's good! Is good!

Leave it! We belong together.

Go on! Go on!

So I've got...

What's this? - This is yours.

Why?

Just take it!

The room is paid for.

Uh... What... What's your name?

Why?

So I know who to thank. I need to thank.

Will we meet again?

Get some sleep!

There's nothing here.

Just dog shit!

Then don't step in it!

Ah! Shit! ... Too late!

That better?

Or something?

Like this.

That better?

Or... - The first!

Like this? - Like this!

Good day! - Good day!

Do you have a room available? - For an hour?

No. For a few days, maybe.

Your ID, please!

I forgot about that. Is that bad?

I'll pay for the room in cash.

No bill.

I'd be more careful with that kind of money. I'd be a little more careful.

I can save it for you! - Thank you!

Room 2!

(His phone rings.)

"Hello?"

Hello?

"Who's there? Hello!"

"She's been... very strange lately."

"She had no courage to live. She had no courage to live."

"I begged her most earnestly to see a doctor."

"But she wouldn't."

I brought you some towels.

You want me to take that to the cleaners for you?

I see.

Anything else?

Mr. Butt! - Mr. Arenz!

So, have they found anything yet?

Just her... her glasses and... the shoes.

Well! If she's down there, she'll show up.

But that can take time!

How long, roughly?

Different. Can be at the moment ...but it can also be...

Take days or weeks.

There are cases where it took months.

Some don't come up for years.

Did you see anything?

Sometimes they come up piecemeal.

Propellers.

It's very rare that one never reappear.

Uh... Mr. Arenz. I, uh...

Uh... It's, uh...

I'm a little embarrassed, really. But... (Something falls.)

I need the money. I need the money.

Yeah. Who doesn't need that?

Sorry, Mr. Butt! No body, no money!

I see.

How about an advance? As a down payment.

Mr. Butt! We all have our rules.

Besides, I'm sure you're hoping.., like all of us, that

Your life partner... - Yeah. - isn't down there at all,

but that she's still alive. - I'm sure she is. One always hopes.

But honestly, I... I don't believe in it.

Mrs. Bäumer signed the insurance contract the insurance contract only weeks ago.

And she didn't give me the impression She didn't give me the impression that she was tired of living.

They didn't know her like I did.

No body, no money.

How do we know she's dead?

Yes, because I know!

I can feel it!

In my heart. It hurts!

Mr. Butt! Your heartbreak in honor.

But I'm afraid we can't accept that as evidence.

So with a corpse gladly! ... Good day, sir.

Good morning!

(His phone vibrates.)

Yes?

She won't show.

You'll have to wait.

"They said, 'Everything's going to be fine.'"

I'll get paid when she gets here! No advance!

Don't call anymore!

(A dog whimpers.)

Wolfi. Oh!

Wolfi! Come on, Wolfi. Come on, Wolfi. Oh, sweetie. My Wolfi!

Did they lock you out? Yes?

(Wolfi barks.)

(Wolfi barks.)

Quiet!

Good, Wolfi!

Shut up! - Don't yell at me!

You keep him quiet. - Shh. It's no use.

I'm going back in.

Well! You're a fine one!

(The phone rings.)

Hello?

It's me.

(Phone drops)

Who? - Me.

I thought you were dead. - I'm not.

That's... That's just...

... beautiful!

"Oh!"

Where... Where... Where are you?

In the workshop.

I'm waiting for you.

(Quietly) I'm coming!

Oh God!

Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Oh, my God!

Come here! Do you know how worried I've been worried about you?

Suddenly you're gone! I'm half out of my mind!

Hey! - Georg!

Who is this woman in our bed?

What? Who?

Oh, I see. You mean Mona. - "Mona"?

Oh, Karen! Oh, my God! You've got this all wrong!

You... I didn't... ...wanted this!

She's come to help me. - Nice help!

Yeah. Yeah. Yes. Shit! Shit! Shit! Yes!

I, uh... It happened. Yes. But...

I'm sorry! Do you understand? First you're dead, then you're alive.

Karen! It's not that simple for me either!

I only did this to help you.

How "help"? ... What?

That's what I wrote you. I didn't make it.

How? You...

You want to kill yourself to help me?

So you can have my life insurance.

But Arenz from the insurance company says:

I won't get a cent without your corpse! - You were already with him!

No! Of course not! Imagine he's already been to my place!

Impossible, isn't it? What do you think ...what do you think of me? Karen!

You'd rather I was dead.

How can you say that?

How can you even think that?

Karen! Please!

The one upstairs, the one with Mona: That's nothing at all, is that.

That's nothing!

Karen!

Oh, God. Shit!

I love you! Karen! Please give me a kiss! Please!

Georg! Why do you want to sell my car?

Arenz said that!

If I'm desperate for money, I should sell the car.

Well... Look! You're dead. This whole car smells like you.

How am I supposed to drive this?

Don't cheat me again, Georg!

No way, Karen! I swear to you:

This will never happen again! (Dog barks)

Excuse me! Excuse me, please!

We have to think about what we're doing! If we make a mistake,

we won't see a cent from the life insurance company.

We both want the money. Do we, Karen? Karen!

That's what we both want. That's why ...that's what you've been doing all this for. Isn't it?

Or do you want to make a fool of yourself? ...ridiculous? You don't want that. So!

If they see you now, it's all over. Yes?

Until we know what we're doing. you'll have to stay hidden!

I can't stay gone forever! - No!

(Wolfi whimpers.) - Shh!

No. That's why we need to take our time to figure out what we're gonna do.

You know what I mean? - Yeah.

Georg? - Shit!

Don't let her see you! Hide! Into the chamber!

Please! Don't let her see you! Think of the money!

Let's do this! Come on!

Karen! Please trust me!

Georg? - Yes!

I'm here!

Wow!

Damn!

Watch it, you dolt! - Don't you "booby" me!

Don't break anything!

(Georg groans.) - What are you doing here?

Oh, nothing. I, uh...

I have so much going through my head. It's like a roller coaster.

You know this? - No! I hate roller coasters.

Oh, man! That's sick! Look at that! - Oh!

It's time to sleep. Yes? Come on! Come on!

Come on! Go ahead!

I'll be right there. Yes? I'll be right there!

Georgi! - Mona! I'll be right there.

Yes?

I'll lock up. Just in case!

Get that woman out of my house! out of my house!

Sure! I'll do it.

(His phone rings.)

Yes?

You said she was dead! She's not dead!

Ah! - "Ah! That's not the way to do it!"

You can't do this to me. with me! Do you understand? Not with me!

"This is not what I paid you for! Do you understand?"

You still owe me half.

Me? I don't owe you ...nothing!

You owe me! Yes? And if... And if you don't do it, then...

"Then what?"

Yeah. You'll see.

Don't scare me! I didn't like that mutt anyway.

All the better, Georg! Hep!

What are you doing? - Dig!

Come on, Benny! Cut the crap!

Hotte! What are you doing? Say something!

Dig!

Yes.

Oh!

You'll get your money! Just a matter of time.

You've had enough time! - Yeah. I know.

It all went sour. But now!

Do you have the money or not?

Not now. But soon! Soon!

If she shows up. the insurance company pays a million!

Then you'll get your money. Double interest!

"A million"! - Yes.

That's a whole lot of grit, Benny!

Dig!

Or better yet, I... Uh... You get half.

Yes? Is that an offer? Half?

I'll make you a better offer. - Yeah?

We each get half.

Half, half! I can live with... I can live with half a million.

Half me. Other half Benny. Hey?

Where am I?

Keep digging!

Yes. Enough!

Yes! Come on!

And don't make the wrong mistake!

Or you'll be back digging again! But deeper!

You won't have to shovel for it.

(The two laugh.)

(Karen hears Georg pounding. Glass clinks.)

I know how we do it. Come with me, will you?

Like this!

We're here.

And how do we do it? - Simple!

Just like you planned! You're going in the water! Go!

Go for it!

But I thought,

you love me!

Now go! Go! - There are spiders!

Karen! Go! (gun cocks)

That's mine! Mr Kehl gave it to me. Mr Kehl as a souvenir.

He shot himself in the hand with it.

Then you know: It's not a toy! It's not a toy! Get out of here! Oh, man!

If you shoot me.., you don't get paid.

They're not stupid.

Oh! Shit! Right!

Ow!

Oh! (gunshot)

Ah!

No! ... No!

It's about time! Don't shoot! Don't shoot!

Help me! - If she has a hole ...in her head, I don't get paid.

Get out of here!

You're...

It's all your own fault!

(someone shoots.)

Hey! - Hey! You stink!

I don't stink!

Can you take your gloves off?

They scare me.

You got the money from him. from him. Didn't you?

He tried to kill me.

Me too.

That's different. It wasn't personal.

You have pneumonia.

It's an antibiotic.

My name is Bruno.

There are worse things.

See? There you go!

Did you undress me?

You must love your girlfriend very much, though.

Is this an interrogation? - No, no!

We just want to help you find it.

She must be here!

I know it. - We've searched everywhere.

There's nothing there.

(Shower water running.)

(Something cracks.)

Enjoy your meal!

One!

Two!

Three!

So?

No! Thank you!

How? They're original from Africa!

I can see that.

But...

Please! I need... the money! Please!

Place your bets, please.

Uh... Everything on red!

Dead or champion of the world!

Nothing works anymore! Rien ne va plus!

Twenty-four, black!

Dead.

BYP

No more bets!

Eighteen, red!

(There's nothing to understand.)

Thou shalt not think! I said... fuck! What is this?

Is that what you call making money?

Fu should pay protection money for his snack.

He's already had his nose broken... ...in his nose. Last warning.

But... Fu is a stubborn head.

And cheap.

He asked me for help.

I should wait in the next room while he

talking to this guy. With the gun for emergencies.

There are two of them.

And...

They won't listen to reason.

Mafia?

Yeah. "Mafia."

Only in Chinese.

When Fu screamed like a banshee, I went in.

You had just given him with the poultry shears

cut off a finger and into the deep fryer.

They were going to cut off ...his second finger.

Even though I have my gun in my hand. one of them pulls his gun.

The other one throws the scissors. That's where I shoot.

I've met both of them.

Well! It wasn't hard. It was just a little snack bar.

Lucky me.

But poor Fu, he died died of blood poisoning.

So... almost.

That's how it started.

Believe me, Karen: This is not a life.

It's gonna weigh on you.

A murder like this never lets you rest.

It gives me no peace knowing he's alive.

At least you're smart about it.

Yes. I am. I work with my hands.

Oh!

Let me handle this for you!

That's my affair.

(The bullets have been fired.)

Where did Fu cut off his finger? cut off? Here? Here? Or here?

I don't know!

Does it matter? Off is off! - There's a big difference!

The important thing is whether you're right-handed or left-handed.

The thumb, for example, is

more important than the little finger. If you think about

a prosthetic restoration, that's crucial.

There's a difference,

...whether you shoot a lamp... or a man.

No!

Neither.

That's a good one!

Don't laugh!

(She laughs.)

(His phone rings.)

"Hello? ... Hello?"

Karen? Karen! Is that you?

"Goddammit! Who's there?"

I'm still alive.

Oh, thank God. Thank God!

"Karen! Please! I ... That's all..."

"just a misunderstanding!"

The... This... I didn't mean... I didn't mean it!

"My God! I know I fucked up, I fucked up."

"Karen! I'm sorry! I really am! ... I..."

Let's talk! How many times did you say:

"You can talk about anything if you love each other." Right?

"I love you! I don't know."

"what I was thinking." - I don't know if

can believe you. - "Of course you can!"

Karen! Please! Trust me!

Karen! I can't talk on the phone... I can't talk like this on the phone.

I need to look you in the eye. We have to meet! Yes?

"Karen! ... Please. - But not in the house.

Where you want! No problem! Where are you?

I'll get back to you.

(A phone rings.)

Yes? - She's still alive!

"She's still alive! Damn!"

"Do something!"

Hello?

What is it?

Were you eavesdropping?

Do I need to be ...snooping around on you?

You! Tell me!

Still haven't heard from Wolfi? from Wolfi?

Are you really sure? - Yes.

So... let's do it like I say.

I owe it to you.

Wolfi!

Wolfi!

Wolfi?

Tell me! Have you been to the garage? - No. What should I do there?

You weren't looking for anything? - Am I retarded?

I don't know! - Don't talk to me!

Come on! Don't be mad, sweetie!

I'm not in a great mood right now.

When I'm feeling better, we'll go away, huh?

Where are you going? Where are you going?

Maldives? Thailand? Africa? Anywhere, Wherever! You decide! - Let's see.

Can you lend me something until then?

You'll get it back with interest! - Tell me! Are you crazy?

(SMS signal)

Uh... I gotta go.

Who was that?

Uh... Business. Can be late.

Hello?

Hello?

hal...

Karen?

You look great!

I thought you might like black. ...you'd like it.

Come on!

Wait! Don't run!

Come on!

Karen! Wait! - Come on!

Do you want to know why I wanted to meet you here of all places?

Because you're tired of living?

Exactly! You're so sensitive.

Karen! Do you want the truth?

You and "the truth"?

That would be a first. - Yes, Karen. It's true.

I wanted you dead.

I gave the man at the lake money so he'd do it.

I couldn't do it myself.

Because I love you. Do you understand? Karen!

It's terrible when you're in debt... ...you're in debt to them!

These guys are merciless. They go over dead bodies!

You're sweet. Even.., even if you're a pig.

Ow!

Does it hurt that much?

Karen! What are you doing?

I don't feel anything.

Because I still love you.

Does it hurt?

You're doing fine.

Too bad it has to end this way with us!

What do you mean?

You want revenge, don't you?

Oh! Now you're scared!

Georg! Georg!

You don't have to worry ...anymore! Shh!

I'm doing it. - Doing what?

I'm gonna kill myself.

Why is that?

Because I will never stop.., ...love you.

Karen!

You're really sure, huh?

Karen! Wait! Wait! Wait!

Can I hug you one last time?

Hey, you!

Me?

Yes.

You're too slow, you disgusting rat!

You're gonna do me?

You've got to do something!

You have to aim!

You wanted to fuck me, huh?

Are you talking to me?

You're talking to me?

You're talking to me?

Could it be you're talking about me? I'm the only one here.

Who the fuck are you talking to talk to in that tone, huh?

You want to make some extra money?

Get dressed! I'll wait outside.

Okay! I'll do it.

I think I can trust you.

You should! Absolutely.

Anything else would be a mistake.

So, uh... when will I'll see you again?

If all goes well, we won't have to we won't have to see each other anymore.

Well! That's wonderful!

Hundreds did it during the war,

to avoid being shot to avoid being shot at the front.

We're not at war.

You know what else Specialists are? Surgeons!

There are surgeons who take out... They have a lot of insurance.

They cut off every finger and... collect.

Disability and all.

They'll let a colleague... a colleague can do it.

They'll do it themselves! - Karen!

You're not a surgeon.

What of it!

I don't need a scalpel for that.

Pruning shears will do.

Snip, snip!

The ones from Japan are the hottest.

Bruno! It doesn't have to be It doesn't have to be poultry shears.

What you must hate him!

They're my fingers, not yours.

I'm not doing it!

I'll do it myself.

Bruno!

Will you stay with me?

Yes.

Well! We assume, that Mrs. Bäumer is dead.

Is that really her finger?

Hm. There is no doubt.

We compared the DNA.

She went in the water, like she said She wrote in her suicide note.

She probably got caught in... She probably got caught in a propeller.

And the rest of her? So the rest of her?

There's a pretty strong current There's a pretty strong current down there.

Especially after the rain.

Maybe we'll find something. Or not. Be happy,

that we have the finger! - Yes! Yes!

I'm only asking because...

...the funeral!

Oh, yes. And I thought,

They're asking about the life insurance.

I know you think I'm a pig.

But I didn't want this, goddamn it!

Yes! I need the money. Yes.

Is that what you're gonna lecture me about? Is that what you're gonna lecture me about? Or...

You can rest assured.

The insurance will pay.

It's a million.

Times are not like that,

that you take it for a walk.

Huh?

That's all right.

Then sign, please! Here and here!

We already checked that. - That's nice! Thank you!

Thank you!

Mr. Butt! I know. It won't take away your pain.

But a Band-Aid... it is. Isn't it?

Pain is relative.

You can open an account with us at any time.

We grant you the best conditions.

Maybe. Is that all? - Yes.

Am I done now? - Yes. - Thank you!

Thank you very much! Thank you! Thank you!

Halt!

My pen!

All right?

Uh... It works! Can ...go ahead!

What's in the case?

Uh... Where? Oh. Papers.

Drive! - Home?

No. What are we doing? Let's go!

Let's get out of here! - Okey-dokey! - Yes, "Okey-dokey"!

Shit!

What is it now?

Hello!

Hello! Hey!

(He honks.)

Hello! Hey! Somebody... the goddamn gate up here!

Hello! - Hey! What's going on here?

Come on!

Drive!

Just drive!

Oh. Thank you.

Do you want to?

Get undressed! First the gloves! - Oh! I thought you liked it.

Ah! Okay! Yes. I've never... ...tried it before. - Get out!

Yes! Later! Later! Let's start Let's start here. Come on, let's go. Ho!

Yes? - He didn't want to go home.

He just wanted to leave.

The suitcase!

You stay in the car!

Karen!

Karen!

Karen!

Karen!

Oh, my God! Karen! You ha...

Ah... Look!

Look! Look here! Here! Here! Here!

Look! Our plan worked! That's our money!

Here! Our money!

A ... one a whole million!

Half a million for each of us!

Ka... Oh, God! You poor thing!

That must have hurt... ...hurt like hell. Didn't it?

Oh, bullshit! Bullshit! It's all yours! All of it!

Just for you! A whole million!

Get dressed!

Yeah, sure! Excuse me! How do I walk around?

Really!

Like this!

Now... Oh, man!

Oh, no!

No! This...

You can't do that!

Please let me live! Karen! Please! Please!

(Whispers) Please!

Oh! I knew it! Darling!

I knew it! You can't.

Karen! I, uh... I'm not... I'm never doing this again!

Karen! On my life! I swear to you: I swear to you...

We have to go! You can't... stay here!

Ho!

Ha!

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Ho! Ho! ... Ho!

Ho! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa! Whoa!

Whoa! Ho! Ho!

Here!

Help!

Hello! Is anybody there? - Here! I'm here!

Get away from the door! - Ah!

Did you write this?

Yes.

Mr. Butt testified at the time.., that you were depressed.

Tired of life. That you were talking about ...about that,

to get in the water, to break up.

He made me write that!

Before ... or after he cut cut off your finger?

Before that.

Why didn't he just kill you?

Georg is not the type!

He would have... starved me to death.

Maybe. But just... ...just kill me? No!

He couldn't... He couldn't have.

Georg wasn't like that.

But... cutting off your finger ...off,

he was good at that!

He took the ring off me first.

We found his hair in her blood.

Yeah. I ripped them off. -It came to a fight?

Yeah. I fought back.

But Georg was stronger than me.

Rest in peace.

(someone knocks.)

Trara! Trara! The mail's here.

One million euros.

Shall we?

Already checked.

Keep it! It's... a little souvenir.

It's a pleasure doing business with you!

(someone knocks.)

Oh, Bruno!

Why didn't you kill me... ...why didn't you kill me?

It was a simple calculation.

A few thousand against two million.

I think you liked me.

Maybe.

Bruno!

Will we meet again?

No.

Farewell!

Yeah. Life is awesome!

Ain't life grand?

Hey!

Is life horny? Or is it horny?

Life is awesome. - Exactly!

Life is so awesome! It's just super!

Well? What should I... ...buy you?

Mona! What do you want? - Everything!

I want it all! ... Everything and now!

Just like in the commercials, Siggi! - That's not bad!

"Anything and everything!" Gladly!

(doorbell rings)

No, Mona! Don't open it! Don't open it!

Keep the door closed!

Who is it?

What are you doing? - Taking my money.

Put some clothes on! You're always naked!

I told you to get dressed!

Get in the shower! You're covered in blood.

And close the door!

(Something clanks.)

(Shower water running.)

(He hears the shower water running louder.)

Your money's in the briefcase.

I gave you double... on top of that.

For the ... for good measure.

Don't take me for an idiot!

Hey, pearl.

Hup! Hup! Hup!

You weren't planning on... ...without us. Weren't you?

Thanks, toots!

What are two blondes doing throwing straw at each other?

Well?

Yes! Say it!

Exchange of ideas!

Oh, Mona! Come on!

We did good!

Ooh!

Like this!

I'm only doing it today because it's such a beautiful day.

Next time you'll do it do it yourself again! Yes?

Now get up!

Now run!
