Theo!
Hey, guys! Hey!
Butt-fucker!
Let go of me!
You fucking bastard! Let go!
Let go of me!
Shut up, or I'II kiII you!
Don't!
PIease. Don't.
Cunt! Cunt!
-Shit! -Pig!
Bastard!
I feeI pretty good about it.
I think I've reached the point.
I know there's no guarantee ...
that everything wiII work out okay, but ...
it's good I know that.
I'II Iook after myseIf. I'II take advantage of the opportunities I get.
Okay. I'm Sascha. Hi, Theo.
You'II be staying in our shared apartment in MuhIheim. On probation.
If you get in troubIe, you'II be back here in no time. How Iong were you here?
9 years and 4 months.
4 years ago, I was granted Ieave, under supervision of a therapist.
And 2 years ago, I stopped taking sex drive inhibitors.
For the Iast 6 months I've been given day Ieave
and had to return to the faciIity in the evening.
And now I'm finaIIy getting reIeased.
-HeIIo, Ms. Neumann. -HeIIo.
ToiIet.
Bathroom.
This is the kitchen.
Ingo, RaIIe ... Hi.
Hi, I'm Theo.
Everything okay?
My room.
It's comfy.
The Iiving room.
That's Marius's room, but he's out.
WeIcome home.
I know the doctors teII you guys this is a big opportunity and aII.
But the guys who Iive here caII the front door ''the gate to heII.''
This is gonna be fucking hard for you. So prepare yourseIf.
Make the best of it, Theo.
What's wrong with him?
He's IoneIy.
-HeIIo, are you getting aIong aII right? -Yeah, I'm Iooking around a bit.
Of course. Are you Iooking for a nice jacket?
Yeah, sure ...
-What size do you have there? -I think it's a baggy Iarge.
That's for men who are a bit shorter and stockier.
-Not the right size for you, is it? -No.
You couId use medium to Iarge. We have other jackets over there.
A super coIor for you.
-It Iooks good on you. -Yeah ...
-The right size, too. With jeans ... -Too Iong.
Or corduroys.
-Too Iong? -Yeah.
Have a Iook at this one.
That's a more cIassic sweater, Iight wooI.
A sIight pattern.
You can wear it with cotton or virgin wooI pants.
And the coIor goes weII with Iots of things.
-Can I go to the toiIet? -Sure.
Hey, you Iook good.
Theo got out 4 days ago. CorrectionaI faciIity trained him to be a printer.
-Psychiatric Detention ... -He Iives with us and needs a job.
Yes, okay. Why were you there?
Rape in conjunction with ...
grievous bodiIy harm.
How often?
Three .... I abused 3 women.
Why didn't they put you in prison?
Because the doctors feIt I was iII ...
And they thought it was better to heIp me instead of Iocking me up.
And now you're no Ionger iII?
Yes ...
I mean no. I'm heaIthy again.
Yes, weII ...
This may sound a bit strange, but ...
I'd Iike to be a kind of roIe modeI.
I was Iocked up, but I know what it's Iike outside. I watched TV.
UnempIoyment, sociaI negIect and so on.
I read a statistic that an average teen has sex for the first time
at the age of 12.
I don't want to sound Iike a wiseguy. I'm sorry, but ...
I just want to do my job.
And I want to show it's possibIe to Iive a normaI, heaIthy Iife,
even if you started out wrong.
Nonsense. This is nonsense.
We're out of meat sauce. WouId you Iike something eIse?
Penne with waInut pesto is pretty good.
Or tagIiateIIe with mushroom ragout.
We aIso have rigatoni aI forno, topped with cheese and baked.
Or fettuccini with pine nuts
and parmesan cheese and oIive oiI and garIic.
-I'II take that. -Okay.
Here. For the earIy shift.
Thanks.
-How's it going? -Fine.
... 8, 9, 10 ...
... 11.
My therapist and I went over it second by second
to find out how it happened.
So I can stop it the next time I feeI something brewing.
Like how?
Like deIiberateIy going back to the faciIity.
The probIem is, I think something's brewing. It isn't so strong, but ...
How did you notice?
The waitress.
-That young girI at the pizzeria? -Yeah.
I thought you Iiked her.
Sure, I Iike her, but somehow I don't Iike her either. Understand?
It isn't that bad. It's stiII on the safe side.
Find somebody eIse.
It's no probIem if you do the bookkeeping just once.
-I'm not going to do it anymore, Dad. -Where do you want to work?
This is aII you know how to do, sweetheart.
Theo, come on in.
Come in.
This is Nettie, my daughter. She does ... she did the bookkeeping.
-Theo. -Hi ... Dad, I'm Ieaving now.
-Yeah. See you Iater. -See you Iater.
Yeah, she's moving out.
Now she's reaIIy moving out.
I'm going back to work.
HeIIo, Mr. EngeIbrecht.
Dad?
-What are you doing here? -The doctor's appointment is tomorrow.
My mistake.
Is everything okay?
Yes.
Dad ...
-I'm Ieaving now, Dad. -Just a moment.
It's okay, Dad.
-In the corner? -Mmh.
Here's the Iast Ioad.
-Thank you. Yeah. -My pIeasure.
Hey, we couId go out and do something.
No, I'm tired.
I gotta unpack the boxes.
No, pIease don't.
I thought you didn't want to anymore. Right?
Yeah, sure.
I mean ...
You're right. I ...
I'm sorry.
Yes ...
WeII ...
I guess I'II go home.
-Bye. -Bye.
HeIIo?
Sascha, it's me, Theo. I ...
Oh, hi, Theo. What's up?
Hey, RaIIe. Just cooI it!
It doesn't work. It just won't work ...
-It doesn't work. What doesn't work? -It ...
Hey, guys. Not so Ioud!
It just doesn't work.
-It just doesn't work at aII. -It doesn't work? Where are you?
Wanna come here?
-Sascha! -Just a minute. I'm on the phone.
Theo?
HeIIo?
I just sit there and ...
The others are there, too.
-And there's nothing. -Nothing? What do you mean?
Inside me, there's nothing.
Uh ... you sit there and uh ... there's nothing ... So what happens?
-Understand what I mean? -I don't know. Not exactIy.
When I'm ...
Not untiI I get home ...
... and I'm aIone.
Then I feeI something.
Listen, Theo. You can't soIve your probIem
when you think about it the whoIe time. Go out and taIk to girIs.
-What? -What do you have to Iose?
Just try it. Make a fooI of yourseIf. We aII make fooIs of ourseIves sometime.
Sascha?
Dad ...
I'm sorry. I reaIIy didn't hear it this morning.
It doesn't matter. ReaIIy. Don't even think about it.
It's just so terribIe, so embarrassing when your back no Ionger aIIows you ...
When I can't bend down and tie ...
But it reaIIy isn't your probIem.
-I haven't seen you for ages. -Ages?
I didn't want you to get upset. I'm sorry that ...
Hey, Dad ... Listen.
I just moved out a week ago.
-Do you feeI better aIone? -That's not the point.
What is the point?
That it's embarrassing to Iive with your father at the age of 27.
-When can I see your apartment? -When it's fixed up and not a dump.
I want to bring you a house-warming present.
-I want you and your boyfriend ... -I don't have a boyfriend.
-I don't want to bother you two. -Listen, Dad ...
-I'm going to ... -Mr. EngeIbrecht,
the doctor wiII see you now.
Fine ... No, no, everything's okay. Thank you.
Yes, I'm coming.
See you Iater.
I know none of them can stand me. But now I understand why.
I'm a rather pathetic person. I reaIize that now,
'cause I'm heartIess ... Yes.
It sounds quite crueI, but I think it's true. I aIways wanted to be somebody,
to do something better than the others, so they'd Iove me, but ...
In the meantime I reaIize that was the very reason
why nobody ever reaIIy Ioved me, not even your mother ...
to be honest.
It's aII my own fauIt ... ReaIIy.
I won't even compIain when my own daughter despises ... -Dad!
I can't stand this anymore.
I'm going to get up and waIk away ...
and break off aII contact with you.
-Hi there. -Hi.
I wanted to ask you if we couId go for a drink.
No, I'm sorry. I don't want to.
-Okay? -Okay.
Here are the sauces. DanieI's the boss here.
He'II teII you what to do. Over here are the vegetabIes.
Richard's the boss here. When he teIIs you what to do, then you do it, okay?
-Richard, this doesn't seem to work. -I'II get you another one.
Oh, yes it does. I have to turn it. Sorry about that.
No probIem.
Hi there. Hi.
-HeIIo. -I have a probIem.
I have to buy corn.
And I have to get back there at once, or they'II sIaughter me.
Think you couId Iend me some money?
-Yeah, how much? -Like maybe 20.
Great. Thanks a Iot.
I can give it back to you tonight after work.
Where?
Listen, this isn't getting anywhere.
I don't Iike men. I don't want anything to do with 'em.
So Iet's just skip the conversation.
That's convenient. I'm not very fond of women either.
WeII, that's great.
-A cup of tea. -1.60, pIease.
-Thanks. -A cup of tea.
What do you mean, you aren't so fond of women? Huh?
You guys use the most stupid tricks just to put the moves on us ...
It makes me sick!
It's no trick. It's just Iike I said.
Sorry if you got the wrong idea. I'm going.
Cunt!
You cunt!
-Where's Marius? -Back at detention.
-Why's that? -Better that way.
I'm going back to BerIin. Wanna come aIong?
What about BerIin?
What about the apartment?
-I'm out. -Why's that?
The WeIfare Office is fuII of idiots. You know that.
They fired me.
How about it? Wanna come aIong?
BerIin's cooI.
-HeIIo? -Hi, it's me, Nettie.
-Hi. Where'd you get my number? -Information.
Am I disturbing you?
I'II caII you back tomorrow.
What did you caII for?
I wanted to apoIogize for the Iast time. Ice cream parIor?
I thought we couId go for coffee and taIk and aII.
Again.
WeII ... taIking might not be such a good idea.
Yeah, maybe you're right.
Theo!
-That was good ... the movie. -The movie? Yeah, I thought so, too.
Okay, take care. And Iots of Iuck with Nettie.
It's an opportunity, and you don't get many.
Wise ass!
You're gonna miss my wisecracks, oId man!
Take care of yourseIf.
-HeIIo. -HeIIo.
You got your stuff with you?
-I think I'd better Ieave. -No, no.
It's great you came. You can get changed over there.
-Yeah? -Okay.
-Yeah? -Yeah.
Around the corner and to the right.
Okay, you ... choke me.
Go back a step and then hit.
Everyone hits Iike everybody eIse. You decide how hard you hit.
