Mertens insists that it is an important matter. Schneider is told that the target is Ramon Bax, a writer. He lives alone in a secluded place. "It's an easy job.

You'll go on the lake.

Bax will think you're me.

You'll have two bullets to kill Bax.

And don't think you can run away.

I'll keep you within range...

...and I'll shoot a bullet through your

head at the slightest suspect movement.

If you kill Bax, you're free to go.

- I won't stand a chance.

- I don't think so either.

Daddy!

Is it him?

I'm not sure.

- I'm not sure.

- Shoot the boat first.

It's not Schneider.

Stay down.

Let the daughter live.

That's impossible.

She's a witness.

If I let her go, I'm f***ed.

I have two young children.

You could at least think about it.

- Who was it?

- Mertens.

The man from the deep south who

rides a billy goat at night?

What are you talking about?

Mertens is the client.

- The client's dead so we're going.

- No, you're wrong.

Schneider wants both of us dead.

Today or tomorrow.

I don't think so. Mertens is

a traitor and he has been punished.

Schneider and me, we're colleagues.

We don't have an old score to settle.

Schneider just shot at me.

He wants to clean up and go home.

- Car keys?

- I don't have them.

Jesus!

- You stay here.

- You could also decide not to do it.

Think for a moment.

You're not an ape, are you?

Jesus, Gina... damn it!

What are you doing here?

I'll lift you up.

- You can't.

- If we're fast, we'll be alright.

Leave me here, Schneider.

Please.

I'm almost finished.

Problems with a centrifugal pump.

There are always problems with

these things.

The girls want to say hello.

- Say hello to daddy.

- Hello, daddy!

- Hello, darlings.

- We're blowing up balloons.

Very good. See you in a bit.

Bye, dear daddy!

Do you think you'll be on time?

- What time are they arriving?

- In an hour.

I should be able to make that.

Alright, see you then.

See you then.
