I asked her to,

because I have to speak with you.

Your wife also wanted

that you get to know me.

You are a very brave woman, Sarah.

Very brave,

to simply pop up here like this.

Actually, I'm here all the time.

He's not a monster like you think.

Our child will have everything

that we never had.

Everything we could never give it.

When it grows up, it'll help our people.

When it grows up,

it'll be black outside and white inside.

It'll be just like them, and buy itself

a new body when it's old and ugly.

Please, you must trust me.

I'll make sure that your body

belongs to you again.

We're going to burn in hell!

We are in hell.

Where are you taking us?

Wherever you want. It's a present.

Mr. And Mrs. Goldbeck want you to go out

and have a pleasant evening.

If we had their money,

what we couldn't do for our families,

and for our villages.

We've already done a lot.

We have the right to a little happiness, too.

The happiness of buying a baby stroller.

For a baby that belongs to them.

What do you want to do? Run away?

Come.

I had a dream, Sarah.

I dreamt I was Hermann.

My hands opened his safe,

I reached inside.

Thousands of bugs and ants crawled out,

covering my hands and arms...

He hides the transfer pills in the safe.

I could see the code in the dream.

Stop!

- Sarah.

We have four hours with our child.

That's more time than most parents

spend with their children.

Wake up!

Do you always want to live

like a night animal?

A worm that never sees the sun?

You'll never get to see your baby, Sarah.

Are you afraid we'll jump?

No. Please don't do that, Apolain.

We only wanted some fresh air.

And when we get back,

we're going to take the boat out.

Let go of me!

Then he let them sleep in the boat.

He doesn't have the situation

under control. Laurin's overextended.

Send me a status report.

The boy is ill.

He can't see things the way we do.

Please, you expect too much of him.

He needs a meaningful task.

Something he can grow into.

I won't desert him.

I'm cold. Give me my things.

Nice that you're talking to me again.

I'm not talking to you.

I only asked you for my clothes.

And please, send your babysitter away.

Good morning, Mr. And Mrs. Goldbeck.

Good morning, Laurin.

Is everything in order?

Nice here.

It's only missing a few palm trees.

The trip of your guests

was scheduled a bit too early.

I'm sorry for any inconveniences.

I don't tolerate anything

that endangers your safety.

I wish you a pleasant day.

The man has everything in control,

believe me.

I would say, just like you do.

Are you still angry with me,

my butterfly?

Sometimes I hate you like poison.

I'd always hoped you were happy with me.

Even without a child.

I was, Hermann.

And I still am.

You never gave me the blame?

Stupid guy!

You're the love of my life.

I hope it's a girl.

We're going to have a daughter.

A little Anna.

Now don't be shy.

Tell me what you want.

Is it already too late?

No, Mrs. Goldbeck. We can improve the child

throughout the entire pregnancy.

My wife, has a very strong will...

It would be very nice if...

- Sure.

And her wonderful eyes?

And from you, Mr. Goldbeck?

Please.

What are your wishes?

Dear Sarah,

our daughter will unite

the four of us just like nature,

which knows no difference

between summer and winter,

day and night,

birth and death,

being asleep and being awake.

You can experience nature's contrasts

as struggle and dissent,

or as unity and harmony.

While you sleep, Sarah,

I'll make sure our daughter is happy.

I will give her the best.

Material goods are of no matter.

When it grows up,

it'll be black outside and white inside.

Sarah! Our daughter will have

everything that you never had.

And when she's grown,

she'll help the people of your homeland.

She'll be just like them, and buy a new body

when hers is old and ugly.

She'll go to the best schools.

Yes, she'll have everything.

Just no time for us, her parents.

Is it a sin to want the best

for our daughter?

I'll be responsible for her, Sarah.

I want to thank you for letting us see

all the people, buy all the nice things.

You know,

I've often wondered

what kind of person you are.

Come Sarah, you can do it.

Would you...

Would you walk with me to the lake?

Two, seven, five, zero...

Two, seven, five, zero...

Our contracts say that if we run away

our families lose the money...

Apolain didn't want to run away,

he only wanted to be alone with me.

Do you understand?

- I have to go back.

Crap.

May... Anna's birthday. Okay.

May 27th.

Did you tell the firm about it?

Please, I have to know.

I didn't report it.

Was that it, big man?

Werner, what is it?

You know that we don't accept

any young people here.

I'm ten years older than you,

and a club member longer than any of you.

But you don't look 78.

There are other clubs that would

surely happy to take on people like you.

"People like you!"

What's that crap about?

It's nothing against him personally.

But some members are bothered by it.

Guys, have you gone crazy?

Here, my ID card.

Hermann.

- Look.

Kiss my ass, Werner.

Nice that you came.

Anna recently discovered a weakness

for a small black congregation.

Do they know who you were before?

Of course not.

I hope they won't be coming

every weekend.

Recognize him?

The old Dr. Menzel,

the inventor of the personality transfer.

He just died.

Strange guy, huh, Hermann?

He wants to extend our lives,

and his own?

Here's Apolain at age nine.

When he was eleven, here,

his father died.

His mother.

A tragic death.

Stepped on a mine.

Are all of them here his siblings?

The 10% really does go to Africa,

to a subsidiary corporation.

The family actually gets

only one percent.

For selling their lives?

Outrageous.

Is there another beer there?

Thanks.

Say, big man.

What can we do for his family?

What?

What's wrong, Hermann?

You were never a philanthropist.

The noises here are so different

from back home.

It smells different than in Ethiopia,

doesn't it?

Oh, very different.

What's your name?

Why do you do that here,

nights, all alone?

When I was younger,

I had no feelings.

And now...

I'm overwhelmed with them.

Are you always alone?

My father is dead.

My sister...

she takes care of me.

Laurin, I'm sorry. Please!

Central, security here.

Is something wrong, Laurin?

And when she grows up,

I'll found a firm with her.

What if she wants to be a musician?

A musician?

Yes.

Yes?

I'm on my way.

Everything's in order here, yes.

Come with me out into the sun.

Sarah, it's so wonderful.

No.

Just take a look.

Hey, good dog!

You're just hungry, huh?

Hey, here... Be quiet, my little lady.

Hello, you've reached

Anna and Hermann Goldbeck.

We're not home right now...

We're happy that you called

and will be happy to call back.

Bye.

- Bye.

Menzana Corporation.

You had an appointment today at 9 a.m.

Since each day is important
