You'll surely forgive me if I don't.

Alright.

- Bye.

It's worth 50000 D-marks at least.

Blue metallic. In top condition.

Wait a moment.

I'll call you right back. Sh*t!

Popo.

- What?

Come look.

What do you say about that?

It's time to give him a pasting.

It will take a little longer.

I'm going through hell.

How expensive is it?

How many carats?

So it isn't that expensive.

I'll take a nap in the car.

Remember to take your medicine.

- Of course! Stop babying me!

Okay, very good, very good.

Excuse me.

The car will be fixed in two weeks.

I'll come to Frankfurt then.

Of course I'll do it.

That's not what we agreed.

I've done you a favour be fore.

It's just that I need money now.

It's no use if I get it later.

Yes.

Sh*t.

Thanks.

Hi, Jack!

- Got another beer?

I came to talk to you.

- I'm all ears, kid.

Where are you heading?

Why are you interested in that?

I'm not.

I don't care where you're going.

But take me with you.

- Just like that?

You're my last hope.

I don't know what to do.

I must get out of this prison.

What a fate...

Most people would give anything

to be in your position.

In 24 hours you'll

have caviar withdrawal.

Let me stay with me, Jack.

I'll be good. I'm begging you.

Hey, come on...

It's all right.

Once I'm on Sylt, I'm trapped.

I'll never escape.

You're really my last hope.

I'm your last hope?

Know how much money

I have on my account?

Less than in your handbag, for sure.

How much do you have?

- Less than 300 marks.

That's all...

- I do have deals pending...

I don't care about money any way.

Our differences

aren't only financial.

I'm too old for you.

How old are you, 18 or 19?

Almost 21.

Is that so? I'm 31.

I'll be an old man soon.

Trendies are more your style.

- That's nothing.

I'm 15 years older than my wife.

Does she still love you?

- Throughout our long marriage.

Worships the ground beneath my feet.

How long have you been married?

- Three years.

Wait two more. By then she'll

have a fresh young lover.

Stay out of it.

You don't know her.

I don't mind your age

or your poverty.

Glad you're here.

I forgot the papers.

Curacao Blue, straight, no ice

- I'll have water.

Separate tabs.

It seems things have changed

since our conversation this morning.

Know what, Bruno?

You're like a carp.

Compared to the bigger fishes,

you're just a small one.

Jacky the poet...

What is it, Jack?

- Some old friends.

What's this, a new

girlfriend? - No. - Yes.

Pleased to meet you, Mrs. Bogart.

- Bogart. I like that name.

- Well, you can't have it.

What do you want, Bruno?

- Come with me.

Come on.

Here's how to pay your debt.

- I'm all ears.

I expect a delivery of medical

supplies from Finland.

The driver won't

be able to make the trip.

You'll take over and pay your debt.

And I might be inclined

to donate 15000 marks to you.

From Finland?

Would 15000 marks

make me compatible?

I don't care what mother thinks.

- It wouldn't buy the dress she has.

If the deal cannot be made,

many will lose money. Me too.

Do this, and I'll wipe your slate

clean and we can do business again.

No, Bruno.

You overestimate the attraction.

I trust you

despite what you did to me.

Your last chance, buddy.

- Borders arranged?

- They're no problem.

But you must leave tonight.

Give me the details

and I'm on my way.

There's 500 marks for expenses.

The plane leaves at 8:30 p. m.

500 marks? That's peanuts!

Be back in four days,

not a minute later.

Frau Bogart.

Popo!

Well then... Goodbye.

Jack!

I want to come with you!

- No way. Go back to your mother.

Jack!

What are you doing there!

- Go away!

I said go away!

This is fun.

You don't belong here, kid.

- Don't call me that!

Did you think I'd take you?

I overheard everything.

Finally I get to see Finland.

This isn't an Easter egg hunt.

I can't take care of you.

I can take care of myself.

I was fourth in the dash in school.

Fourth in a class of Barbie dolls!

Not that I don't like you.

You're cute, in a way.

But this is my life,

not a dancing school.

Wherever you go, I go.

Don't you see

what a nuisance you are?

Too many people here.

Don't forget to congratulate Uli.

- I won't go voluntarily.

You can try throwing me out.

I'll kick and scream.

Don't think I won't.

- You can try.

What do you mean, try?

- You can't do it.

I have my strengths.

So you have strengths?

We're are all talented in something.

What's yours, then?

Screaming and making a scene.

So it's your normal behaviour.

Being a spoiled brat.

Want to see?

- Enough...

The party's over.

- I won't get out.

I have no time to play.

I can help you.

- No you can't.

Please!

Let me go!

Everything okay?

- Keep your nose out of it.

No!

Are you all right, young lady?

I'm not sure.

Just a lovers' spat.

Could you leave us alone?

Is he beating you?

- Pulling her leg.

Her leg, my eye!

Get out, dear.

Yes, get out, dear.

No, I'm really all right.

These people want to see

that you're unharmed!

That's not necessary.

Thank you for your concern.

I spank her daily. She needs it.

You're proud of it?

Know what you need, you wimp?

A real pounding.

My people can do it.

It's not necessary...

- It is, too!

We're off. Punished enough, dear?

Yes, I'm in ecstacy.

- We're off, then.

Don't let them go.

That's not normal!

What they do privately

is their business.

Have you seen my daughter?

- What does she look like?

What? Elisabeth!

We set Women's Lib way back!

Serves them right.

Butting into our affairs!

I'm dumping you any way.

The first chance I get.

A romantic honeymoon!

You're certain the girl you saw

is the on in this photo?

Yes! He was beating her

and dragging her into the car.

Unshaven, in a motorcycle jacket!

That's him, Mr. Jack all right!

He's an animal, right?

Oh, God!

You let him take your daughter out?

I knew from the start

that he's a dangerous beast.

And where's your intuition?

Why did you insist on helping him?

I demand that you find her!

We've alerted our patrol cars.

They'll get her.

I should hope so!

Yes?

Baron von Greeten.

I'm so glad you called.

Something awful has happened.

Elisabeth has been kidnapped. Yes.

No, don't tell Uli.

He'd be so upset.

But Elisabeth has been kidnapped...

This mechanic is urgently wanted.

Mrs. Dirberg accused

him of kidnapping.

She is very concerned about

her daughter's poor health.

What poor health?

She's overdramatizing.

A reward of 100000 marks

is promised for finding her.

The suspect is about 30 years old

and is driving a brown Ford Combi.

All tips leading to his arrest

and safe return of the girl -

will be rewarded by the Dirbergs

with 100000 marks.

The dumb jerk.

He's ruining everything.

Don't get upset.

- What?

Don't get upset?

Are you nuts? Takes a runaway

to the Russian border.

Interpol will stumble on our loot.

Fantastic!

Let me take care of him.

- What's that supposed to mean?

Wait a minute...

What if we outrun the cops?
