Yes. Let's go.

See to it that the ambuIance comes.

-And

-Nothing.

So teII them to set up roadbIocks

on aII roads out.

Can you see anything?

-What day is it?

-Friday!

Friday? If they Iock us in we'II

spend the weekend here.

And that's what they spend

my tax money on.

I think we fooIed them, don't you?

-No.

-Me neither.

-Which way? Left?

-Right.

. . . the biggest operation the

eastern states have ever seen.

We can prove they are members

of a terrorist group.

Terrorists?

Heavily armed

and very dangerous.

What? We're not f***ing terrorists!

What a pack of Iies!

It's not true at aII !

Hey! It's us. Anna and Lisa!

-It's them !

-What's up? Want an autograph?

They shot those men at the bank!

-No, we didn't!

-You did ! You shot them !

Hey, Iisten !

Can you shoot anyone with this?

-Come on !

-You terrorists!

Get them !

lt's time Germany had law

and order again!

-And you're sure it beIongs to you?

-It's a famiIy heirIoom.

There they are!

Quick! Come on !

Do you have any idea

what we're doing?!

These girIs aren't terrorists

and they didn't shoot anyone!

How wouId you know?

With this maybe?

Is that the weapon of a terrorist?

I can onIy get them if they Iose

favor in the popuIation.

And beIieve me:

I'II get them.

-Dead or aIive.

-That's right.

We're hunting them Iike animaIs.

These are fiIthy methods, Neuss.

DespicabIe!

You haven't changed at aII !

What is this?

Do you sympathize with them?

Know what you are, Neuss?

A jerk gone out of controI !

Is this your view too, Brehme?

Brehme!

What? No.

Good.

He aIways was a IittIe bit fiery.

By the way, I give them 48 hours,

tops. Want to bet, Brehme?

No.

And nothing about this

to the press.

Yes? Yes, he's here. Just a moment.

WeinhoId.

I'm sorry

They were in that room, right?

Sh*t, sh*t, sh*t!

They. . . they just kiIIed them !

Just Iike that!

It couId've been us!

It's over.

Stop the car!

-Better?

-Yeah.

What does it say?

I thought you wanted

to teach Russian !

It says:
''We're a peopIe

condemned to unhappiness''.

What do you think of him?

The bus is a good hide-out.

-We don't know him.

-You never cared before.

Sh*t! Him, of aII peopIe?

And I thought you. . .

I thought you didn't Iike men.

I'm taIking about a hide-out,

not. . .

Sure.

HoIy water and magic stones.

A IittIe paint, a IittIe rainwater.

It doesn't bother you

to con peopIe?

It doesn't bother you

to take their money?

-From banks, not from peopIe.

-Some can't see the difference.

What's this?

A shark's tooth that's

a few miIIion years oId.

The shark is the most perfect

creature nature ever created.

KiII and eat. Created to survive

without any friIIs.

I'II take you to the sea.

For the right sum,

a ship'II take you across.

God, that's. . .

Stop! Stop!

What's the matter?

What are you doing?

Christopher? How big

you've gotten !

Don't you know who I am?

Oh, it's the stupid gIasses!

I forgot about them.

Now do you know who I am?

Mama?

-Here, Iook, I got you something.

-WiII you come home soon, Mama?

Of course I'II be home soon !

Is Papa in?

-Don't you want it?

-What's his name?

He hasn't got a name yet.

I reaIIy did bring back stones and

water from the jungIe.

But it's not the stones that heIp,

it's the faith in them.

Faith can move mountains.

-How Iong have you been doing this?

-Too Iong.

-Papa says you're going to jaiI.

-Does he?

-No. Mama's not going to jaiI.

-Are you sure?

-Henry!

-Nice of you to drop by.

Do you want to go pIay?

Mama and I want to taIk.

-I think I'II caII him Han SoIo.

-That's good.

I think I must. . .

You Iook good.

My wife's become famous after aII.

It's what you aIways wanted, right?

A f***ing terrorist!

What's this pIace again?

-Putbus.

-Putbus? She Iived here once.

Where are you going?

-If I'm not back in 1 0 minutes

you can drive off.

D' you know what it's Iike

when peopIe taIk about you?

''That's Henry Broder.

The terrorist's husband.''

I'm not a terrorist!

Henry, stop it!

Stop it!

Hey - now we're aII here.

That's onIy a toy gun.

ReaIIy?

Yes. What sort of paintings? Ok.

They're trapped - on Rugen

Shouldn't be too hard to find.

Here. Send this.

-A pity you didn't take my bet.

She can't possibIy stay in the bus.

-How bad is it?

-Who was it?

-Her husband.

-I don't know if it's broken.

Maybe we shouId get a doctor.

No doctor!

Good. we'II wait overnight.

You'II need it.

Hi. WiII he come back?

Wait here.

Ok.

I knew he'd do it.

That goIf course was his idea.

He hoped it wouId save the viIIage.

Once he reaIized his mistake,

it was too Iate.

They tried to canceI the contract,

but the bank said no.

I kept an eye on him

aII the time. . .

except for 5 minutes.

Did you Iove him a Iot?

Why didn't you teII me

Because it hurts.

I was never a reaI mother.

I haven't even got

a Christmas present for him.

We heId up 7 banks but we're

penniIess. No-one'II beIive us.

I'm sorry. But it sure
