I am sorry, but I need your car!

- Get into the car, baby face!

- Don't ever call me baby face again!

In the other side!

Get closer!

We're on air!

"When leaving the diner, Brest threatened

a woman and took her car."

"Brest, who seems to be ready for anything,

robbed a bank the other day for 80,000 Marks."

Not to mention my million!

"We do not know what he did to Wurlitzer,

but we hope that the hostage is ok."

"We will be back as soon as there are more news.

Celia Sarto for TVL2."

Corrupt cops, yes...

SH*T!

The guy had my suitcase!

Get Carlos and the Rodriguez brothers and...

GET MY MONEY BACK!

Boss, they stole a car and

are heading for the Dutch border now.

Tell our people to follow and observe them,

but without attracting attention!

Are they stupid?

Aren't they afraid that you could kill me?

You just lost your driver's license!

If I knew this would happen,

I would have gone to school for another job!

You went to SCHOOL for this sh*t???

We lost them!

We really lost them!

They're gone!

These idiots are lucky, too!

Too much luck for my taste!

You will now take over from here!

You are now responsible here, Keller!

Now you have to show me that you are a cop!

Yes, boss!

I'll get them!

I'll get you motherfuckers!

Boss! Boss!

Hello!

What are you doing! Get out of my car!

If there is a problem come to my window!

That's not possible,

since everybody could see my gun then!

Don't make a mistake!

You can put your hands down.

Do you know me?

No.

Open this!

I am married, we don't have children yet,

but my wife is pregnant...

Hey, that's good for you!

Congratulations!

Now listen to me: This is 80,000 Marks,

which I robbed from the bank.

And this is about 3,000 Marks,

which I robbed from the gas station.

I want you to give the money back!

Can I count on you?

- Yes, of course.

- Good.

That should clarify the situation

with your people.

If I see a cop from now on -

I will kill the hostage!

Everything fine?

- Yes, we are debt-free!

- That sounds good to me!

Off you go, TJ!

If you need a taxi again: 2727!

Good day, gentlemen!

What can I do for you?

Have we met before?

No.

We want to buy a Cadillac!

Just like the one that Elvis bought

for his mother.

No problem!

"HOSTAGE-DRAMA:

Doomed kidnaps doomed"

- Hempel, Amelia-Elisabeth: 10,000 Marks

- What's the street?

- I told you:
Huehnerbeinstrasse!

- Ha, that's a strange name for a street...

OK, put the letters in the mail now.

Hey, what are you planning?

A Cadillac for you, two women for me...

At least I have to invite them for dinner!

Hello Mom!

Martin?

My boy!

What happened to you?

Where have you been for so long?

Look at what I brought for you!

It's beautiful!

I don't even have a driver's license!

And you're not even Elvis...

Come on Brest! The game is over!

Drop the gun!

Get inside mom!

- What is going on?

- Drop the gun, Brest!

Or I'll shoot!

- Martin, do what he says!

- I can't do that, Rudi!

Drop the gun!

The ocean is not so important now!

I will see it eventually!

Yes, you will see it! But what about me!?

Well done, Brest!

Let me go!

You are a liar! You tell me about the ocean,

but you have never been there yourself!

- Arrest the son-of-a-b*tch!

- What? This man is dying! He is seriously ill!

Get an ambulance, or you

will have to arrest him in heaven!

I will go with him.

What? You are going with him?

After all he has done to you?

I know the doctor! I know the hospital!

He is my friend and I will take care for him!

Helsinki Syndrome!

You go with them!

- Is that a brothel or a chorus line?

- Nobody else knows either...

It's a brothel!

What?

A brothel!

What about you?

Hey, it's your wish, Rudi!

Can I have two...?

You can have them all -

when you got enough money!

Are you done already?

Then take care of the toilettes now!

No, I don't think we will

clean the toilettes today, boss!

You don't think so?

And why don't you think so, Abdul?

They are here!

Didn't you like it, Rudi?

Oh, I did...

But you look so sad.

There are so many undone things in my life,

so many things unsaid...

You know...

That was probably the greatest f*** of my life!

And your last!

Good! Now, that we're all together...

Where is my money?

What money?

Don't f*** with me!

Tell me where my money is!

And I will spare your life!

What's so funny?

Actually nothing...

I see...

Where did we leave off?

Yes... the money.

We mailed it to various people.

There is nothing left.

Why are you making it so hard for me?

Unfortunately I have to kill you now!

Go for it! I will die soon anyway.

I've got a brain tumour, I don't care!

Then I will kill you!

I don't want to piss you off, but...

I've got bone cancer, late stage,

I don't care either!

SHUT UP!

I'll kill you now!

Hi Boss...

Anything else you might want to tell me?

These are the guys that stole your money

-I thought it was you.

-But...

...But these are the guys

from the television

It's true.

-Let us have some privacy.

So....

Do you have my money?

I'm Just kidding. I know you,

I saw you on the news.

I know about your problem.

Did you make any plans?

-Yes, we wanted to go to the ocean.

-We've never been there

You've never been to the ocean

Well you better run.

You're running out of time.

In heaven, it's all they talk about

The ocean, and the sunset

How f***ing wonderful it is

to watch that big ball of fire

melt into the ocean

the only light that's left

like a candle

from the inside...

Here we are...

Can you taste the salt?

Rudi?

I've got to tell you something!

I know.

But let me tell you something:

You don't have to be afraid!

[An additional scene follows the credits]

Spread your legs!

Hey, what's going on?

Where did this come from?

From Santa Claus?

From Santa Claus? No!

There was a letter in my mailbox!

In your mailbox?

From Rudi and Martin!

- From Rudi and Martin?

- That was written on it!

I don't even know them!

I promise!

Supposed you are telling the truth

and this was in your mailbox-

- who the f*** are Rudi and Martin?
