The Wave Page #6

Synopsis: High school teacher, Rainer Wegner, may be popular with the students, but he's also unorthodox. He's forced to teach autocracy for the school's project week. He's less than enthusiastic at first, but the response of the students is surprising to say the least. He forces the students to become more invested in the prospect of self rule, and soon the class project has its own power and eerily starts to resemble Germany's past. Can Wegner and his class realize what's happening before the horrors start repeating themselves?

Oh, that's good. I will do some

proper talking to your brother as well.

And The Wave?

What about it?

What, you will just let it go?

You will just give it up?

There just one day left, we're

gonna pull this trough together.

I you asked me, it's

OK without white shirt.

I'm sorry Rainer,...

...but I think this whole thing

is really out of your control.

Well, then you just

should switch the class!

Everything okay?

And around here?

I thought you don't

give a damn about it.

Mr Wenger, do you have

just one moment? In my room.

Yes, sure.

Respected professor doctor Kohlhage, believe

me, I just want to achieve educational goal.

You should see how the students

are unwinding themselves.

- They are really motivated.

- I know it.

I just wanted to let you know

that Mr Westerhofen called.

Jens is completely changed, he is

speaking about you in high regards.

I could not speak

directly in teacher's room.

You know, some of your colleagues...

...find your educational

ways somewhat problematic...

...but you have my support.

It's good for me.

The next edition of the student newspaper

is already completely prepared...

...there is no way to add more.

Yes, probably, it takes

too much time anyway.

We need to write e-mail to all students.

But you have all of the addresses, right?

We can't let you have

them, privacy rules.

I don't really give a

damn. So, I will help you.

But really...

...if you ask me, this thing

is going too far anyway.

Yes, but you only want to sit

around and do nothing, right?

No, I want to go to Kaschi's. LAN party.

LAN party. Oh God!

Don't loose this, OK?

I've put my sign on it.

Hey, ready to get your asses riped off?

- These guys?

- Yes.

You are also The Wave fascists, right?

Wave fascists? Are you a retarded?

Wacky Mr Wenger washed your brains out.

Hey, where have you got the

idea to spray our sign out?

I don't know what are

you talking about, f***er!

Tim, did you lost your mind?

Tim! Tim!

Don't f*** around, dude.

Run for your life or I will

blow you your brain away!

OK, no problem.

Okay.

Tim?

Hey, they are gone, it's

OK, put the gun away.

Have you completely lost your mind now?!

How can you walk around

with that gun in your hand?

If only a gas-gun, take it easy.

I got it from Internet, it is that easy.

Stop The Wave

- The goal justifies the means.

- This is not true...

...I will not write down

that I had that kid beaten up.

I just want to ignite that idea, right.

Michael Moore does that all the time.

I will speak only truth.

Great, then we can drop it immediately.

Yes?

I've been looking for you everywhere.

- What are you doing?

- Nothing much.

We will have a small

beach party, wanna join us?

We? You mean The Wave members.

Yes, there will be few.

No thanks, without the white shirt

I am surely not welcome there.

It is so stupid.

Yeah, it is, and that's

why I am not in mood for it!

Oh, "Bad Vibrations", I better go.

You can stay around.

No, I have choir rehearsal.

And have lot of fun at The Wave party.

- Bye.

- See ya.

What do you actually

have against The Wave?

Marco, man, open your eyes.

The Wave is becoming

one really weird thing.

You are involved too much in it.

Oh, really? Then take a look at this.

Just the fact that the pages looks like.

Yes, Tim made them.

He is always exaggerating.

Here...

"Yesterday, some guy wearing a white

shirt pressed on me and said that...

...unless I join The Wave,

I will loose all my friends...

...because all of them

would join in soon.

I just simply said that

I will think about it.

And than, he aggressively said

that it might be too late."

Too late for what, Marco?

Don't you understand what is going on

here? Students are under pressure here.

Yes, but the involvement is anonymous.

- How do you know if they don't cheat on it?

- Cheat?

Leon didn't let one

Six-grader into the school...

...only because he did not want to

perform your stupid Wave greeting.

I'm sorry, but your brother

always acts little bit strange.

But no only that...

...they even treat me like a leper

because I don't wear white shirt.

Why do not you just wear it?

Simply because I do not want.

But I want, because

The Wave means to me.

Means what?

Community.

You know that feeling very well, you

belong to a healthy family, I do not.

Going with me or not?

Can I help you sir?

What are you doing here?

I need to protect you.

You need to do what?

I want to be your bodyguard.

What do I need a

bodyguard? Tim, go home.

What am I supposed to go home for?

Nobody is Interested

for me there, anyway.

So, if you have any problem feel

free to come to talk to me...

...but I do not need

no bodyguards, okay?

Come with me.

- Hello, precious!

- Hello!

What did Kohlhage want?

Hi, Tim.

Hello, Mrs. Wenger.

- Rainer, can I speak briefly with you.

- Yes, of course.

What's this supposed to be?

It was not my idea, I have not invited

him. Suddenly he was just standing there.

He has nobody to take

care for him back at home.

I had different idea about this.

Come, lets eat together, I

will send him home later, okay?

Mr Wenger...

...do happened to have

little bit more ginger?

Only then it will be really delicious.

- It is really cool here.

- I told you.

- Say, what is actually going on with Karo?

- Why?

She was in the editorial and

had put a lot of stress on us.

Because of The Wave?

Yes, she wanted all student's personal data

to be able to send some emails and so on.

- Gross, no joke?

- No.

e-mail being sent.

e-mail canceled.

No LAN connection.

Sh*t!

Well, first we thought of Paris...

...and then to Balaton lake. Balaton?

But Italy, good food, beautiful women.

You always need more and more.

And than I thought, why don't

you sir join us as a supervisor.

Let's see, Tim.

Tuscany, also, it would be superb.

You know Tim, Rainer can

not decide on his own.

Yes, but I am sure all

students would support it.

And if not, we could

organize signature action.

It was really nice evening, Tim. Really.

But Anke and I, we would like to be alone,

we have a couple of things to discuss.

Sure.

Thanks Tim. See you tomorrow.

Do you know the story of "Six hikers?

No.

My father told me.

At the spot where the Great

Lakes joins together...

...they always find half a dozen of

drowned corpses floating in water.

Again and again, being seen by divers

and held as just a recent accident...

...until they realize that the

clothes on them are from the Eighties.

Most of them are suicides.

But that is scariest...

...thing is that the current always brings them

to the same spot where they actually drowned.

Just like they are looking

for redemption or justice.

Therefore, fishermen calls

them "The six walkers."

Understood.

- Hey, can I?

- Yes.

- Cheers!

- Cheers!

It's really nice here, right?

I never wanna leave this place.

Who said you would?

Yeah, right.

After the final exams

first to enter university.
