Sh*t.

Double sh*t!

You can stay in the car.

But show me your license

and your registration, please.

You're a bit young to be driving.

Didn't your parents teach you that?

I should talk to your father.

Or your mother. Who do you prefer?

Who is stricter?

That's who I'm going to talk to.

You should know you can't drive yet.

Freeze!

Stop right where you are.

Are you threatening me

with your toy gun?

Okay, okay, OK8)!

- We'll drive you to your parents.

- I don't have any parents, f***er!

- What did you call me?

- Put your gun on the ground!

No, I won't,

- Now!

Cut it out, Paul, and do what she says.

And you give me your gun?

Do you understand me, Miss? - Paul!

I'm the squad leader and not you.

Lower your gun.

And we'll put an end to all this.

Shut up and put your gun on the ground!

Hurry up!

- Freeze!

- Stop f***ing around, Paul!

Freeze!

Are you crazy?

Put your gun on the ground.

Kick it away!

Sorry,

but your colleague is a real p*ssy.

Yes, I know.

You're such an idiot.

- My God, Nina. What are you doing here?

- Don't move!

- Nina, where's Max?

- Where is Lily?

- Lily? - Where's Lily?

- Nina, I am Lily.

- Max is the only one who calls me Lily.

- You're lying! - No, it's true.

Sara Lily Muller.

Come on in. I'll show you my ID.

- Where's Max?

- In the car.

Max.

It's me, Lily.

She found you.

Yes.

Yes, she found me. Get his backpack.

Ssshhhh. .

It's just a dream.

A bad dream.

I'm here, Max.

I won't leave you.

I promise.

That's good.

Okay, the car is gone.

- How's he doing?

- He's asleep, dreaming.

Sleep will do him good.

- Did you get this from Max?

- No, from Rudi.

From Rudi?

Rudi is dead.

- No.

- We were hiding at his place.

But they found us.

The last time I saw Rudi

before he lost his legs

he said that he wanted to stop,

that he'd had enough,

and Max told him

he couldn't desert his team.

And.

And when it happened.

Rudi never blamed him.

He never complained.

Instead he kept joking

that he could ride the train for free.

Did you love Max?

Yes.

Yes, I loved him.

Very much.

But it was very difficult

to live together with him.

Max

is a soldier, a warrior.

And being a soldier

always comes first.

I thought I could live with him.

I loved him, and I was so proud of him.

But then he'd suddenly disappear.

He'd go off on a mission,

and I didn't know where he was.

He'd be gone for weeks,

months, and I didn't

even know if he was still alive.

He couldn't call me and say,

"Hi, Lily. How are you? I'm fine."

That was the worst part

the uncertainty.

And suddenly he'd show up again.

Usually with several injuries,

and I always put him together again.

But I couldn't ask him any questions.

He might have witnessed

something terrible or lost a friend.

He never talked to me about it.

He could never talk about the things

he had seen or how he felt.

At one point it was

too difficult

or too much or

I don't know.

Max is no longer a soldier.

Think so?

He was always a soldier.

He'll always be one.

It's the only life he knows,

and in the end.

In the end, it's all that he'll have.

Why did you wish him "Happy Birthday"?

Because I still think of him.

And because I'm an idiot.

Max is an idiot, too.

He still thinks about you.

He listened to your whole message,

although the cops were after us.

He listened to the whole message.

And I saw the way he looked.

How did he look?

Sad.

Sara,

if you haven't seen Max for three years

have you had other boyfriends?

Nothing serious.

Maybe you're still in love with Max?

Maybe you should eat your breakfast.

When were you happiest?

With Max?

Yes, with Max.

A few months after we met.

I'd finished my law exams,

it was summer, and we were in England.

- England?

- Yes.

First London, then Brighton.

It's an old seaside resort with a pier,

a nice beach and an amusement park.

We fell in love with the place.

And for a whole month

we stayed in a bed and breakfast.

I'd inherited some money and

we promised each other

we'd go back to Brighton one day

and open our own bed and breakfast.

But not for guests.

Just for friends and family.

That is, my family.

And I fell in love with Max.

That's romantic.

Why didn't you ever do it?

I guess they were just day dreams.

Max was a soldier,

not a hotel manager, and.

I...

was lost in my fight

for justice.

Do you believe in justice?

In court? Not anymore.

And in life?

I believe when you do something good

you will be rewarded.

And you? When were you happiest?

I'm happy now.

Here.

Sleep a bit longer.

I'll do it.

I'll see you on the other side.

I imagined it differently

seeing each other again.

I did, too.

I often wondered

what would have happened

if I hadn't been a soldier.

Yes, then

we probably wouldn't have met.

Right.

You looked so good in your uniform.

I don't want to fight anymore.

I don't either.

Max!

- What's up?

- Outside.

What's wrong, Max?

Sh*t!

Come on, Nina!

Ok. Run towards the elevated hunting blind

on the hillside.

Then into the woods and keep right.

After two kilometers there's

an open field and another blind.

Behind it is the highway.

When you get there call Kurt or Henri.

Here are their numbers.

- Why don't you come with us?

- Because I won't get far.

And because I'm more useful here.

Get going!

I love you, Max!

I love you too.

Meet you at the pier.

Max...

how does it feel to be at war?

You're there,

and all you want is to stay alive.

- And you think about things.

- Like what?

About the people you love.

Everything you're about to lose.

Everything you still wanted to do.

Your life races past you

in lots of pictures,

and you've already settled everything.

And suddenly a voice inside says, "No.

No. I don't want to die yet.

Not today."

- Damn it!

- What?

Get outta here!

The well-known industrialist Thomas Backer

has died

together with his security director.

Nicholas Wulff. Police confirmed.

- Simply blown up.

- Who would do something like that?

- It's an evil world out there.

- But it's a bit better now.

Right.

Are you happy

about the nice things I bought you?

Give me a piece. Come on!

You're sister is so stingy.

What did you do, sweetheart?

You little piggy. Give me the napkin.

What are you doing?

What's wrong, Dad?

Huh? Nothing, my dear.

Nothing at all. Everything's fine.

Okay.

Falkner.

Did you hear the news?

Who are you? - Someone who knows

how easily you're bribed.

You did it, right?

No, I have nothing to do with it.

I'll tell you what happened.

Armed conflicts in Africa

or the Middle East. Take your pick.

Backer delivered to both sides.

One side wasn't pleased.

They came to Germany

and punished him.

Are you still there?

- How should I arrange it?

- I don't care how you do it.

Just tell another lie.

You're really good at that.

You forget us, and I'll forget you.

Did you understand me?

- Dad!

- Come on!

- Yes.

- Dad!

Come on.

In memory of Lance Corporal
