That crap got stuck
in there somewhere.
A f***ed-up
landing, I tell you.
I was lying there...
with my face in the sand.
And then a scorpion came
along and stung me in the eye.
- More?
- No, thanks.
Aren't you hungry?
Does he force you?
Oh yeah, harder.
That's good.
Do it harder.
Hi, Lukas.
We've been waiting for you.
This is my neighbor.
Have a seat.
Nice to meet you.
I've heard a lot about
you from this dear lady.
She told me a lot about you,
a lot of very good things.
And uh... now...
you want to buy a rifle.
What a coincidence.
That's just great.
I have several good
rifles for sale.
This really tastes good.
Eat it up.
I'm not hungry anyway.
- Can I have a knife?
- Yes, here you are.
I have an excellent rifle
for a good marksman.
Really very good.
Of course, you'll need
a telescopic lens, too.
I also have an excellent
telescopic lens from Jena.
Oh!
- Would you like some coffee?
- I really would, thank you.
And you'll need
ammunition, too.
Hollow-tip bullets.
Familiar with them?
Hollow-tip bullets splatter.
That's very good.
Even if they don't strike the
target in the heart...
or in the head,
the target is finished.
Isn't that nice?
I can really recommend
hollow-tip bullets.
Anyway, they're the only
ones I have on offer now.
CONQUER YOUR FEAR
There is an
invisible enemy,
and that enemy...
is fear.
Remember your childhood.
You're lying in bed.
It's dark.
Your jacket is
hanging on a chair.
Together, the chair and the
jacket become a monster...
which you're afraid of.
Your fear increases, and you
have to turn on the light.
What has happened?
It isn't the monster that
makes you afraid, no.
It's fear that
creates the monster!
Fear is the monster.
The monster lives inside us.
We create the
monster ourselves,
so we can also control it.
It is our fear that makes
the chair into a monster.
Fear alone doesn't exist.
Fear cannot exist without us.
We know our fear keeps
us from being happy.
But when something stands in
the way of your happiness,
then rip it out of the way.
Kill it!
Cut off the monster's head!
Do you know how
I learned German?
By reading Thomas Mann.
Do you like Thomas Mann?
Yes.
We only had 2 books
in our library,
"Buddenbrooks" and
"Magic Mountain. "
I read them 20 or 30 times,
and then I was able to speak German.
- Hello!
- Hello!
Have a seat.
And then I discovered Goethe.
"Above all the
peaks is peace,
in all the treetops
hardly a sigh you sense.
Wait, soon you
will know silence. "
Isn't that excellent?
I've brought you everything
that you ordered.
In excellent condition,
really perfect.
I have to congratulate you.
You've ordered a
very nice rifle,
and I feel that guns can be
just as nice as literature,
art, Kokoschka.
Well!
A beer, please.
Sh*t!
Being a good shot begins
with the way you breathe.
You have to breathe
rhythmically.
And when you shoot,
you hold your breath.
Understand?
Okay.
Inhale, exhale...
Inhale...
exhale halfway,
hold your breath...
Let me show you.
Give me that.
Our target!
You take the rifle and push it up
tightly against your shoulder.
Here.
And you pull back here and
here, so it's really tight.
Put your cheek, your head
down in line with the
sighting notch and
close the one eye.
Now do it yourself.
Now move your feet apart,
in line with your shoulders.
Yes!
Steady!
Move your right
foot back a bit.
That's good.
You can't stand there like
you're on the dancefloor.
Head down, left eye closed.
You see something?
Yeah?
The sighting notch?
Stand steady, without moving.
Okay.
Okay, and don't
forget to breathe.
Now!
Yes!!
Hello!
I thought you
were Mr. Grinna.
He's the hunter around here.
But you're not Mr. Grinna.
Are you a hunter, too?
Yeah, I'm a hunter.
A strange rifle.
It isn't strange.
It has a silencer
for wild ducks.
Exactly.
Wild ducks.
And who are you?
I'm the shepherd.
I look after the sheep.
But there aren't
any wild ducks now.
It's too cold.
Too cold.
I gotta go.
I gotta get moving again.
Could you help me a bit?
I can hardly walk now.
My wife.
The Tommys tried to
court-martial her after the war.
A half year later, she
ran off to England
with a military judge.
I really loved her.
That b*tch.
Know what's strange?
Just at the moment when I...
pull the trigger,
I close my eyes.
That was the mistake.
There were soldiers who,
even after 6 years of war,
shut their eyes when
they pulled the trigger.
It's the fear of shooting.
And you...
are afraid to shoot.
I'm not afraid.
So...
Thank you for coming,
and...
don't forget...
conquer your fear.
Well, what a surprise!
You're here, too.
Trying to get motivated?
Well, that's not a bad idea.
It's funny running
into you here.
I've been thinking a
lot about you recently.
It was quite an interesting
conversation we had the last time...
when we met by the river.
I feel you're
planning something.
Of course, that's my
job to collect clues.
But I know you're
planning something.
Hey, am I right?
Be honest.
Yes, believe me, I've
had a lot of experience.
20 years of working for
the police is a long time.
You know, I like you.
It'd be best for you
if I arrested you.
I'm sure of that.
But I can't.
I don't have anything on you.
Excuse me.
Heart attack.
Where's my boat?
Too late.
Your oar's already taken.
Hey, Lukas!
Hey, Lukas!
Come back here!
What's the big idea?
Put that boat back in place!
Hello, Isabella.
It's me, Lukas.
I just wanted to get
in touch, 'cause...
I've been looking for you
everywhere, but you're...
actually, you're never there.
Maybe we could get
together sometime.
Call me back.
Bye.
Hello, Isabella.
It's me, Lukas, again.
I'm calling, because I
have two things to say.
First of all...
I know what happened.
I was there.
And eh...
And eh... second...
I'm going to tell
you something,
and I hope you'll
please call back!
I got myself a rifle, and
I've learned how to shoot,
quite well actually, and I
really wanted to kill him.
How's your girl doing?
I don't know.
I don't know
what she's doing.
I'm sorry, Lukas.
You look pale.
Do you have a temperature?
Bye.
Good evening!
No boat today?
I've stopped rowing.
Don't start getting
lazy, young man.
The water's coming in faster
and getting higher every day.
You'll see, it'll soon cover
the entire surface of the earth,
pure and virginal,
like on the first day.
Maybe we can play the
dead man together.
Someday.
See you.
Isabella!
Are you coming, too?
No, I'd rather go
home early tonight.
Isabella!
You're still awake?
Should I read to him?
- Yes, please.
- No, I'm putting him to bed.
Good night!
Sleep tight.
