Besides, it's not that bad.

So she's dead.

What was I supposed to do?

It was just bad luck.

There's nothing you can do.

You know him. Just let him talk.

I'll get dessert.

- Fine.

You know who I ran into?

Sylvia Staudacher.

She has twins. Girls.

They are so cute.

Yes, they're adorable.

What about you?

What could be better

for the two of you right now!

It wasn't meant to be.

- House is done.

You're over 30, the perfect age.

Yes, Mama, we're trying,

but you can't force it.

It would get Robert's mind off...

Yes, I know. We want kids.

It's highly unlikely,

if you want to know the truth.

Why? You were just pregnant.

Incredible luck, apparently.

A fluke.

I can't believe that.

Did you get tested?

And what's the problem?

It's not me.

Then what, Robert?

Now that I really can't believe!

He's so athletic.

Hi.

That's quite a pile!

You'll need a month for that I reckon.

A week.

- Really, just a week.

I get tired just looking at that pile.

Where is Hausner?

Isn't he inside?

I didn't check.

Bet he's glad someone's helping him.

I feel sorry for him alone on the farm.

Here he is.

You're here already.

Then let's go.

He's not coming,

born and bred a heathen.

Be glad he's doing your work for you.

I don't know if I can still play.

No fair, you have to play now.

You promised.

It's been so long.

Some things you never forget.

Hausner is going to play for us.

He really played up a storm.

Hasn't been that happy for ages,

he's like a new man.

I think he enjoys having someone on the farm.

Are you staying a while?

No, just long enough to finish the firewood.

I guess I'll be going.

Have fun. Fun...

Good luck.

Your husband doesn't go to church?

He doesn't hold much stock in it,

he'd rather run his route.

His route?

To the pond and back.

Every day.

Hi.

I'm playing again.

Do you miss her?

The work alone!

It's depressing alright.

But I'll see her again.

It won't be long now.

You'll see her again?

She's waiting.

Why didn't you call?

Call? Why should I?

It's past 1 a.m.,

I didn't know where you were.

Well, nothing happened.

I still get worried.

I was with the other officers.

We were talking. I lost track of time.

About what?

- I'm sorry.

Talking about what?

What did you talk about?

Nothing special.

About work and what happened.

You talk to the other men, why not to me?

You don't understand anyway.

Maybe if you talked to me I would.

Besides, the men know it was an accident.

Bad luck.

And I don't know that?

Then why do you look at me that way?

What? How do I look at you?

You think I can't tell what you're thinking?

You think I can't tell?

What am I thinking?

That I shot her.

I can tell you think it's my fault.

What?

You want to talk?

Want me to justify myself?

Even though you don't believe me.

You weren't really serious in there, were you?

You're right, forget it.

You don't really believe that's what I think.

You're right.

Are you coming to bed?

I'm just going to finish my beer.

The apples are just about ripe too.

Here,

taste this.

Well? Like it?

Yeah, not bad.

The best winter apples far and wide.

Who are you playing for?

When Hausner gets started,

there's no stopping him.

She brought us a cake.

Did you scare me!

Hausner wouldn't let me go.

It's great he's playing again.

It's what he loves most.

What do you want from us?

What do you mean? Nothing.

Why do you come here?

What do you want?

I figure it makes him happy.

I feel sorry for him on the farm all alone...

He's not alone anymore.

You act like we know each other.

Do we know each other?

No.

We don't know each other.

And it's better that way.

Well aren't you uncouth!

You're turning things upside down.

I want you to leave us alone.

Cake, music, dance, tralala, I don't want it.

I don't want you coming back.

Do you think that's possible?

Then come to my house.

I'll be alone tonight.

If you want.

Wait till it's dark,

come around the back so no one sees you.

If you want.

You didn't chicken out.

Come in.

I wouldn't be surprised

if you were surprised at me.

I'm surprised at myself.

Glass of wine?

White or red? I've got both.

Whatever.

I prefer white, red makes you sleepy.

White perks you up.

White's OK.

Be right back. New bottle.

It wasn't full, though.

Not that you think...

Sit. Make yourself comfortable.

I'll be right back.

Well, I hope you like it.

I think it's quite good.

It's our house wine.

Well then, cheers!

Have a seat.

Nice house.

Thanks. It turned out nice.

Do cops earn this much?

No, I've got the store, double income.

We did a lot ourselves,

Robert and his friends, that is.

And we got money from our parents

and the bank.

It owns half the house, the upstairs floor.

But that's OK.

It's just for a few years.

Everything neat. Clean.

Tip top.

Yeah, you know, you want it to be cozy.

Have a seat.

Nice house.

Good husband.

Everything perfect.

Exactly as it should be.

You must be happy.

Yes, I guess.

Sure, I can't complain.

So why do you want to f*** me?

I guess it was a stupid idea.

I didn't really think that far, sorry.

Wait.

- For what?

Can I take a shower?

- Upstairs on the right.

Another glass of wine?

Yeah.

How cozy!

Why are you doing this?

Are you bored with your cop already?

No, he's my husband.

I just wanted to.

What does your God have to say?

He understands.

A very understanding God.

What is it?

Can't you just be friendly?

Will you lose face

acting like a normal person?

What happened to you?

Do you have kids?

No.

But you have a nursery upstairs.

But we don't have any.

I'll be going.

Why are you this way?

What did anyone do to you?

Be glad you don't know everything.

Will you come again?

You sure can work.

Got to give you credit for that.

You should get married.

A man needs a woman or he gets potty.

You'll find one easily the way you work.

You think chopping wood impresses women?

They notice a man who can work.

Won't be any different nowadays.

Hello.

- Hi.

What's wrong?

Just dizzy.

Does this happen often?

Yeah, sometimes.

Can you hand me the bag balm?

It works wonders for headaches.

You have headaches too?

All the time.

You should go in for a checkup.

Doctors don't know anything either.

But it can't hurt.

I don't need a doctor for a little headache.

You're a stubborn old fool.

You're a stubborn fool yourself.

Who will look after the cows and the farm?

I'm not leaving.

They can carry me out in the end.

It won't be my problem anymore.

But until then, I'm not budging.

Till the end.

Till the end.

Alone today?

How's Hausner?

He's OK.

Tell him I said hi.

I'll be alone again tonight.

Hey Robert, c'mon!

Let's drink to my son.

Give him a glass, would you?

Congratulations.

- Thanks!

Here, have a drink.

- I'm on duty.

Stop taking everything so seriously.

Pass me my glass! Thanks.

He came at 3 yesterday. Took forever.

You were there the whole time?

- Of course.
