You have one pilot.
The pilot has two co-pilots.
Each co-pilot has two crew members, each having two passengers.
That makes eight passengers altogether, two co-pilots and one pilot.
Now, all the passengers pay the pilot, it has to be cash.
The pilot pockets the money and takes off.
At this point the plane splits, each co-pilot gets to be a pilot
and the whole thing starts from scratch.
- And if you can't get new passengers? - No problem.
Good evening, everyone.
May I ask what's going on?
- Bye. - See you.
<i>Merci very much, Daddy.</i>
The pleasure was all mine.
But why?
Next time I'll ask if I can bring people home.
That would be nice.
We could get in a catering service.
You have a key, don't you?
She promised to fly with me!
Stop now, it's late.
Switch over, please.
In a minute.
<i>Xenophobia: Football fans chase asylum seekers.</i>
<i>Triumph: Imelda Marcos is back home.</i>
I hope you didn't let anyone in here.
How about tidying your room?
Tomorrow.
<i>After right-wing soccer fans attack an asylum-seekers' hostel,</i>
<i>60 refugees flee to Schleswig-Holstein.</i>
When did they turn up?
Evi brought the sandwiches at about 6:00.
The rest came at 8:00.
Did she phone first?
She said she'd tried to contact you.
Hello, young man.
Having a nice evening?
Hello, Father.
A little fresh air wouldn't be a bad idea.
Any news?
No.
- What are they saying? - I don't know. Nothing.
<i>Serbian troops keep launching surprise attacks on civilian targets.</i>
Who gave Evi the money? Was it you?
Evi says her friend won 70,000 in the game.
Meaning what?
Meaning Evi asked me for 10,000 but I only gave her 5,000.
- And the rest? - She's been saving, I suppose.
<i>The shelling of the telephone exchange left 80,000 homes without phones.</i>

<i>Last night the oil refinery was hit and went up in flames.</i>
<i>The fire was extinguished, but a lot of oil flowed into the River Sava.</i>
<i>In the town of Karlovac, 50 kilometres south of Zagreb...</i>
I'm whacked. Good night.
Fresh air would make a difference.
Night.
You can't win without taking risks.
You can talk! If I had 500 schillings pocket money I'd easily risk 1-2%.
It's dead easy.
With a stake of 10 schillings, you'd win 80 at best,
which would buy you three ice-creams if that's all you aspire to.
You're a real arsehole.
And you? How much can you put down?
Okay, you're the first co-pilot.
The usual?
And six nuggets.
Sixty-one schillings, please.
Thirty-nine schillings change.
Number 28 for three days.
"Bye, Benny. Have a nice weekend. Be good. The fridge is full. Love, Mum."
These are going back. Numbers 3 and 16 for 3 days.
In here.
Come in.
Sit anywhere.
What's that?
That's the view.
What view?
From the window.
It's live?
Cool!
Do you want one?
I can switch it over.
- Sure you don't want one? - No, thank you.
Did your parents buy you all this?
Well, sit down.
It's great, all this...
- Really? - Yes.
It's all right.
You're keen on video.
I mean, you stand gawping at the video shop window all day.
I don't know, I just do...
I can lend you a few.
Some are quite good.
Cool.
I don't know what you like. That thing in the window wasn't brilliant.
I don't really mind. I quite like cartoons.
- Like what? - Roger Rabbit, things like that.
- Do you have brothers or sisters? - No, and you?
Four.
Not bad!
Older or younger?
Both.
How's that?
You don't want to talk about it?
No.
- I get it. - I doubt it.
I guess I'll be off.
Why?
Why not?
You could stay.
Why?
Why not?
Careful, it's still hot.
- It takes a while. - All right.
How long does it take you to get there?
Over an hour.
Every day?
You get used to it.
And how?
Tram, then a bus.
What's this?
No idea.
Man on the underground.
- And this? - I don't know.
Dog on the underground.
And this?
I don't know!
Cop on the underground.
I think it's cooled down now.
Milk?
I've still got some.
What time is it?
2:30. Must you go home?
Good.
Every weekend...
Every weekend...
It's dead out there. It's so boring!
Why aren't you there today?
- I said I'm doing math with Richie. - Who's Richie?
He's in my class.
- And are you going to? - No.
That, by the way, is my father.
And back there is my mum, that one.
I see. And who are they?
The farmers who let us the house.
Watch this!
It's snowing.
Did you film that?
What was it like?
What?
Well, all that with the pig.
I mean...
Have you ever seen
a dead body?
I mean a real one.
No. You?
No, that's why I asked.
It was only a pig.
I saw something on TV about the tricks they use in action films.
It's all ketchup and plastic.
It looks real, though.
When my granddad died,
he was already in the coffin when we arrived.
They lived in the country, too.
The coffin was open and pretty high up.
My dad lifted me up so I could see Granddad one last time.
But I closed my eyes.
I was a little boy.
Too short to look in on my own.
My grandparents died a long time ago.
I don't really remember them.
Want to see something?
What?
Look.
Here it is.
Is it the thing from...
How did you get it?
I nicked it. Here's the ammo.
Cool.
The farmer saw it was gone.
The weekend after the slaughter he said to Dad
we were lucky he killed the pig the week before
or we'd have no bacon for a long time.
Pull the trigger.
Coward.
Coward yourself!
You pull the trigger.
Coward.
What's wrong?
Don't move.
I'll help you up.
Let me help you.
Be quiet!
Be quiet!
Be quiet!
Stop it!
Please!
Hi, Richie!
Great! When?
I always said he was an arsehole.
He can bring her with him.
Well, if he doesn't want to, forget it.
Yes, all right.
What will you wear?
Yes, we'll see.
Right, 7:00, Karlsplatz, by the fountain. Okay?
I always am.
Pillow?
Want one?
Have you got tickets for ACIDC?
When are they on?
Tuesday.
I'm whacked, really.
All right.
Richie?
What?
Nothing.
What's wrong?
Nothing. Have you done the computer exercise?
Let me have it tomorrow, okay?
Night.
Thanks. I must be going.
My parents are coming back early.
You know how it is if I'm not at home.
- Pity. It was nice having you here. - Bye.
I almost forgot.
Don't forget it tomorrow. Computer science is the second lesson.
<i>- Who's that? - Is my sister there?</i>
<i>Who is it?</i>
Can I speak to Evi?
<i>- Benny? - Yes.</i>
<i>She's not here.</i>
<i>- When will she come back? - No idea.</i>
<i>- Do you want to come up? - No, thanks.</i>
Are you sure?
I don't want your parents giving me hell.
No, it's all right.
Benny?
Do you know what time it is? We've been here since 6:00.
Why are you so late?
You could have left a note, letting us know where you are.
Hello, Mum.
Sorry.
Don't you think there are better ways to rebel?
Who are you trying to impress?
Not me, I hope?
Or was it to make your mother happy?
Well?
Or is this the new fashion among you lot?
The baby skinheads or what?
Come on, now.
Forget all that teenage world-doesn't-love-me stuff.
There are certain rules.
And if one is reasonably intelligent,
which you can't deny you are,
one sticks to the rules if one expects others to keep them, too.
Especially when it takes so little effort.
Do you think your teachers will like it?
Turning up looking like
a concentration-camp inmate?
For God's sake...
You know how long it will take you to look human again?
And we'll have to see it every day.
Stay here when I'm talking to you!
I just get on your nerves, don't I?
May I go now?
<i>The final scores were 6-1, 6-4, 4-6 and 6-2.</i>
<i>Those were the sports headlines.</i>
But I did it.
Well, where is it?
I lent it to him.
So where is it?
I don't know what he means.
He got the book from me yesterday. Honestly, I swear.
Right. If you think you can fool me...
Have you gone mad?
Okay, get your things
and go to the headmaster.
I'm not having my class disrupted by your stupid adolescent behaviour.
I want to see your parents tomorrow.
Is that clear?
<i>Croatian soldiers raided Federal Army barracks,</i>
<i>Croatian soldiers raided Federal Army barracks,</i>

<i>It remains to be seen whether the Federal Army is withdrawing or...</i>
Switch over!
<i>- Pull the trigger. - What's going on?</i>
<i>Coward!</i>
I want the TV back in the lounge! Switch over!
<i>- Leave him alone, Georg. - Coward yourself!</i>
<i>You pull the trigger.</i>
<i>Coward.</i>
<i>What's wrong?</i>
<i>I'll help you, come on.</i>
<i>Let me help you!</i>
<i>Be quiet!</i>
<i>Be quiet!</i>
<i>Stop it!</i>
<i>Please!</i>
You've never met before?
No.
Does she go to your school?
I don't think so.
Were you seen together?
By anyone who knows you or her?
I don't know.
I don't think so.
Do I have to squeeze every word out of you?
Did anybody see you here?
In the lift, the lobby...
I don't think so.
It was in the afternoon...
Anna, please!
Have you told anyone?
Look at me!
- Have you spoken to anyone about it? - No.
You're sure?
It's very important. Do you swear?
Did you speak to anyone at all afterwards?
Richie phoned.
Do you think he noticed anything?
We agreed to go out in the evening.
And?
We went to the P-One.
Then I slept at his place.
And you said nothing?
Who else might have noticed?
No idea.
I'm hungry.
- Did you go to school today? - Yes.
And?
Did you hear anything about a girl gone missing?
She's not at my school.
Yes, that's right.
Dr Schober wants to see you.
What? Who's he?
You or Mum. He's the computer science teacher.
Why?
Richie said I've got his computing book, so I thumped him one.
What?
- I thumped him one. - I heard. I don't see the connection.
Dr Schober sent me to the headmaster and said you are to see him.
What did the headmaster say?
Nothing, I didn't go.
Could you try to sleep now?
Of course.
You'd better not go to school tomorrow.
But...
I think you should eat something and go to bed.
Fine.
- But what about... - I don't know.
Are you scared?
No.
Leave the door open, please.
The living room door, too.
All right, good night.
If it's an accident, they won't touch him.
An accident, with God knows how many shots? Absurd!
Will you turn him in?
I don't know.
I'm trying to think.
Please try to stay calm, too.
I know it's not easy, but please...
Points in his favour?
One:
Benny is a minor.
That's about it.
Points against?
They were alone, unattended.
He shot more than once.
And how did he get
the weapon?
Parental neglect.
Even if they don't blame us, which is doubtful,
the best that can happen to him is psychiatric care.
That'll ruin his life, you realise that?
Not to mention other consequences.
That would look great on his CV.
So how can we avoid turning him in?
One:
Get rid of the...
Pull yourself together!
You can't break down now.
Yes, you're right. I'm all right.
"One."
If Benny really hasn't told anybody,
and I believe him,
and if there are no witnesses, either here or at school,
why should anyone suspect the boy?
How do you plan to do it?
I'm not planning anything!
How will you get the body out of the flat?
Where will you take it?
Without a trace...
A buried body can turn up again.
We can burn her things, though.
Where?
We can take it to the farm.
Dismember it?
Into small, very small pieces which we can flush down.
And the bones?
I don't know.
Break them, saw them, burn them, too?
- Do you realise what you're saying? - What we're saying.
Right, what we're saying.
Are you serious?
I don't know. Do you have an alternative?
Let's try and get some sleep.
We haven't much time.
Can you take it?
You think you can handle it?
I don't know.
Try to imagine what it means.
Can you take it? The nausea?
The pieces must be very small otherwise they'll block the drains.
I've no idea how long it takes. We have very little time.
It's already been two days.
- What if someone comes? - Who?
We just won't let them in.
And Benny?
What do I know?
Say he's ill, send him away, anything.
He mustn't be here while we...
And what if they find out?
How?
Well, somehow...
I don't know.
I don't want to talk you into anything, I'm not sure myself.
- And that one? - Just a minute.
Yes, but the next flight's on the 16th.
- That's in four days. - No, then we'll settle for Egypt.
All right?
He said nothing to me.
He's rather shy.
- How old was your mother? - Well, nearly 80.
I see. And she lived there alone?
Yes, one of her friends had bought a flat in Hurghada years ago.
After my father died, my mother moved in with her.
It's her friend who phoned me about the funeral.
Anything else?
I've brought these back.
No new ones?
Not today.
Evi phoned. You went round to her place on Sunday?
Well?
You said you didn't speak to anyone.
- I didn't. - You spoke to her friends!
I was only looking for her.
Would you have told her?
- Who else did you speak to? - Nobody.
You didn't tell me about Evi's friend. What else are you hiding?
Nothing.
You mustn't lie!
Understand?
You can't afford to any more!
Do you hear what I'm saying?
The salt content of the water is very high.
Up to 4%.
In summer, the surface of the water can reach 34 degrees.
But normally the average temperature is about 22 degrees.
Where does it get the name the Red Sea?
Some scientists maintain
that it comes from the algae which colour the sea red.
One can see that quite clearly from the coast.
Other scholars say it's derived from an Eritrean word
<i>which is the Arabic word for Hamair.</i>
Can't you sleep?
It's so light.
Shall I close the curtains?
I don't know.
How do you feel?
Fine.
Fine.
Do you like it here?
I don't know.
It's warm.
Yes.
What are you thinking about?
Nothing.
About nothing.
Tomorrow we'll go swimming, all right?
First thing, before anyone else gets to the beach. Only us two.
There are only old people here.
What then?
Nothing.
Right, go to sleep now. It's been a tiring day.
Night.
Night.
Good night, Benny.
Night.
<i>Mum!</i>
<i>I'm flying!</i>
Dad sends his love.
How is he?
Fine.
Pull yourself together!
I'm hot.
Then at least get out of the picture.
For God's sake, stop that!
"The higher number plays first..."
I'm higher, so I start.
Shall we go for a swim?
<i>We've been here four days now.</i>
<i>Mum's swimming.</i>
<i>And I'm sunburnt.</i>
<i>There's nothing in the papers.</i>
<i>At least, Mum isn't saying anything.</i>
<i>The papers we get here say nothing, anyway.</i>
<i>Our flight back is the day after tomorrow.</i>
<i>I wonder if Dad's managed to do it.</i>
<i>It's a long time.</i>
<i>A week.</i>
<i>Bye, Dad.</i>
Mum, what's wrong?
They've changed the operating system, so at the moment nothing works.
They've changed the operating system, so at the moment nothing works.
I dread to think what's waiting for me at work tomorrow.
But enough about me.
You're both very tanned.
Yes, the weather was fantastic. Benny got sunburnt.
It's not too bad. It's almost gone.
She says she's got all her flight crew.
I've seldom seen her so energetic.
And when's the big day?
Friday, but only if you agree.
- But the school concert's on Friday. - That's right!
Hurry up, Benny. It's late.
Starting tomorrow you get up early again.
Night, sleep well.
No more TV today, okay?
I'm glad you're back.
Me, too.
Good.
I love you.
Well, sleep well.
I think everything's fine.
So don't be scared.
I wanted to ask you something.
What?
Why?
Why did you do it?
What?
I don't know.
I wanted to see what it's like.
I guess...
What what's like?
Yes.
Aren't you going to work?
Later.
I like having breakfast together.
I can open the shop later, you know.
She had this small place in Luxor, right on the Nile.
Will you keep it?
Maybe. It's cool.
The weather's fantastic.
You can't imagine how hot it is.
- Did you see her again? - For both.
What?
Did you see her once more?
- Who? - Your granny!
No.
Seven schillings change.
The funeral was the day we arrived.
Party Caterers. The sandwiches.
<i>You take the cash and get into this position.</i>
<i>You need eight to fill up the plane.</i>
<i>- And how much does it cost? - 10,000.</i>
<i>Where will you find eight people to pay 10,000 schillings?</i>
<i>Attention! Fasten your seat-belts! The last one...</i>
<i>The last passenger!</i>
<i>1, 2, 3, 4...</i>
Never expected our daughter to be so business-minded.
You could start a game, too.
- I'd never do that. - Seriously...
Some games bring in huge sums of money.
Evi says we should try it with our own friends.
They started one in Munich last week. The starting stake was 100,000 DM!
<i>Are you serious?</i>
<i>I don't know. Do you have an alternative?</i>
<i>Let's try and get some sleep.</i>
<i>We haven't much time.</i>
<i>Can you take it?</i>
<i>You think you can take it?</i>
<i>I don't know.</i>
<i>Try to imagine what it means.</i>
<i>Can you take it? The nausea?</i>
<i>The pieces must be very small otherwise they'll block the drains.</i>
<i>I've no idea how long it takes.</i>
<i>We have very little time.</i>
<i>It's already been two days.</i>
<i>- What if someone comes? - Who? We just won't let them in.</i>
<i>And Benny?</i>
<i>What do I know?</i>
<i>Say he's ill, send him away, anything.</i>
- When did the school send you away? - Next day.
But the plane left a day later.
- When did you come back? - A week later.
- And there was nothing left to see. - That's right.
No traces at all?
None.
It's all been "tidied up", you say?
Didn't you ask where the dead girl was?
Didn't you ask where the dead girl was?
You didn't discuss it with anyone?
And why are you here now?
I don't know.
Do you know who the girl was?
And where are your parents now?
Dad's at the office. Mum's at the shop.
Can you give us the addresses?
My father: Intercom.
7th district,
Neubaugasse 3a.
My mother: Belvedere Art Reproductions,
3rd district, Rennweg 16.
May I go now?
Sorry.
