Jerichow Page #2

I was born there.

I was two when we left.

Six months ago

I buried my fatherthere.

He wanted to be buried there.

First time that I returned

to Turkey.

F***ing military draft,

I couldn't be buggered with that.

Have you ever seen

orange trees blossoming?

It's unbelievable.

Nice.

What street is this here?

Friedrich-Engels Damm.

kzan here.

I need a taxi at

Friedrich-Engels Damm.

Which number?

One.

There's no more wine.

The miniatures are finished too.

We just got a delivery last week.

- I'll check again.

Find any?

Nope. We have to order more.

The receipts. Here.

The change. You count it,

enterthe sum here.

Give it all to Laura in the evening.

She goes to our suppliers

and makes purchases.

Check the kitchens.

The health department pigs

have their eyes on me.

Here are the numbers from last week.

Look at this guy, Chien Thng.

Each week a little less,

bit by bit.

He's giving it a try.

- Trying what?

Look, 14th week:
1,286 Euro.

15th week:
1,167 and

the weather was good.

Drinks alone make you a thousand.

- Got it.

Are you hungry?

We'll drive there and you order

something to eat...

...something expensive.

When you pay, see if he

enters it in the register...

...or just gives you change

with no receipt.

Take away, or eat here?

- Take out, please.

Something to drink?

- Two colas.

Two colas.

Makes 13.50.

Thanks.

Don't do that.

Sorry, don't say anything.

Here's the change, 6.50.

Please say nothing.

Did he beg?

"Please say nothing,

please say nothing."

You have a good heart.

I have one too, that's the problem.

Next time, you stir-fry that guy.

Thomas.

Keep the carfrom now on.

Thanks.

Ciao.

See you tomorrow.

Wait, I'll carry it.

Everything okay?

What was that?

- Some kind of animal maybe.

Where are you going?

Probably that damn raccoon.

It was back there.

- Where?

He's gone, f***ing beast.

What are you doing?

- Nothing, I thought I heard something.

Careful overthere.

Can you drive me

to the airport tomorrow?

Of course.

I'm okay.

Sh*t...

Are you okay?

Yes.

Let's go.

Turn it off.

The discount store in Tangermnde

is going to close.

We have to find a new location

forthe snack-barthere.

What do you think about this spot?

There's no discount store here either.

- Still it's a hot-spot.

Where would you put a snack-bar?

Are you serious?

- Sure.

Overthere.

At the bus-stop?

Nope.

The most traffic is overthere.

What time is it now?

- Just before eight.

So people are going to work.

Who stops to eat or drink then?

We have to be on the side

where they return from work.

On the left side.

- I'm convinced.

In front or behind the traffic light?

Behind it.

- Why?

Instinct.

There's Laura.

That's her, right?

I can't tell...

Sh*t!

Follow her!

- What?

Do it, drive!

Go!

Don't lose her.

Slow down, slow.

She shouldn't see us.

What the hell are we doing?

Keep driving.

Take the second right.

Let's go.

You complete idiot!

Sh*t...

Listen...

- Enjoyed yourself, feel better now?

How long has it been going on?

Been f***ing him a long time?

Why?

Why?

F*** yourself!

I cheated on you

but not like you think.

I made a deal with him.

He charges more

and we split the difference.

Why did you do it?

Why?

First he wanted me,

but got absolutely nothing.

I was just afterthe money.

You think that's not so bad?

- It isn't!

How much have you put aside?

3,450.

How much?

- 3,450. He got the same.

How long has it been going on?

Since December.

Where did you put the money?

Overthere.

Come.

We made up.

Can you handle everything?

Yes.

I can take that myself.

Thanks.

You get going with the deliveries.

I made us something to eat.

Where are you going?

What's wrong?

Turn it off.

Where are you going?

How often did you f*** him?

With Ali?

You don't seriously mean

that beverage dealer?

You're jealous.

Don't give me that sh*t.

Do you have some dry clothes?

Here.

Why didn't you drive?

If the damn neighbors notice,

Ali will hear about it in no time.

Laura...

I'm an idiot.

What's wrong?

- No!

What?

- Nothing!

Lucy, come here, little Lucy.

Come to mama.

I made you one too.

Morning.

I have to tell you something.

I did two years of prison.

I have 142,000 Euro in debts.

I'm 34 years old.

When I got out of prison

I started working.

In a hot-food stall.

Then in a bar.

That wasn't good.

I met Ali in the bar.

He got me out of there.

Married me.

He had lots of money.

He was the first guy I met

who was respectable.

You call that respectable?

Can you get the car?

Why?

Because of the neighbors.

We have to start work.

You want to start work?

Please, Thomas.

We're not going to work.

We're picking up yourthings.

Say something!

It's impossible.

What?

He beats you.

He beats you!

You didn't listen to me.

Who do you owe money to?

- What?

To him?

Your debts.

No, I owe it to the bank.

Ali took overthe debts.

Then everything is fine.

- Nothing is fine.

He's rich and stuck with your debts.

- He's rich and he's not dumb.

I don't get it, can you explain?

We made a deal.

There's a pre-nuptial agreement.

If I leave him I get nothing...

...except my debts back.

You see?

Now you've clammed up.

Always the same, the savior

shuts up and gives up.

Stop talking crap, Laura!

If it's free you heroes

are all gung-ho...

Stop it!

I love you, Laura.

Just look at yourself.

You live like a bum.

Laura!

I think you should quit work.

Thomas?

Thomas!

Thomas?

Come!

Laura.

You can't love,

if you don't have money.

That's something I know.

He should nevertouch me again.

Why didn't you let him fall?

Why didn't you let him fall?

He got right behind the wheel.

I put the picnic basket in back,

he had already started the car.

I always hated his impatience,

and I get a face full of exhaust.

Suddenly the car lurched forwards

and overthe cliff.

I saw the explosion, a burst of flame.

I ran to the road.

I tried to flag down a car.

I stood at the road,

screaming and waving...

...until finally someone stopped.

Come.

I'll hide here.

You go with him to the sea

and wait until he's drunk.

You both come back and

I'll knock him out...

...put him behind the wheel,

shift into "D" and close the door.

There's a train station 10 km away.

You've landed already.

I'll take that.

- It's okay.

You can get in...

- I'll put it in the back.

It was supposed to be a surprise.

I want to go to the sea with you.

Sorry.

How's your brother?

Just fine.

And the children?

Fine.

The harvest must have started.

Ali?

I'm so scared of dying.

I wasn't in Turkey.

I was in Leipzig, in a clinic.

My heartbeat is irregular.

It's been like that for six months.

The heart specialists tried,

it was my big chance.

But it didn't work.

I've got two months to live, Laura.

Maybe three.

They leave you lying there after

the diagnosis, imagine that?

You just lie there.

I live in a country

that doesn't want me.

With a woman...

...that I bought.
