Reasons
We all got our reasons to do crazy,
and reckless things in life.
Mostly they don't help you none.
Not when you are left picking up the pieces.
But if the reason is love,
Maybe not so crazy, because people believe in love.
They know it keeps the world turning.
And right now,
That's the only thing keeping me alive.
"Cologne-Germany"
What did you do? What did you say you wanted?
Double.
American?
Is it that obvious? No, no, no I heard you at the bar.
I mean it's like fate right?
You know two Americans in the middle of a rave, Germany?
Do you believe in fate? Is that a line?
That's cold... With lines like that you better expect it!
I'm going to start again.
Oh, HI! Hey!
Do you believe in fate?
I guess not, it sort of takes the fun out of things, you know?
What if we make it more exciting?
Are you high? No, no, but...
My point is everything that happens, has already happened. Its fate.
Oh that's more exciting, because...
You have already given me your phone number so what is the difference?
I knew it was a line!
I did work better in my head, like the build up
and everything I don't know. I admire the ground work.
Thank-you, yeh!
I'm Casey. Juliette.
Juliet what?
If it's fate and we slept together you should know my last name.
What?
Wait! Hang on!
So what are you doing here?
What this place? In Germany.
You wanna know the truth?
Preferably...
Um I got into some bad stuff in the States.
Nothing serious, just young and stupid and...
decided to use some of the money I had to leave, see the world.
You got to go back? No.
Nothing to go back to.
How about you?
Originally to study.
And get away from my parents.
They did a lot of drugs...
a lot of fighting and not a lot of being parents.
You um, you still studying?
Not, I'm not sure what I'm doing.
Oh, while you're not sure, you want to spend some time with me?
With you? Yeah!
Well, I um...
I appreciate asking and you're cute, nice and everything, but...
But I've seen you here, and what you're involved in.
I have no objection, we all like to party.
It's just that in my experience, guys into that lifestyle...
they are not the guys I'm looking for.
No, I'm not your typical... No, No I...
I don't think you are.
If you ever decide to make it that official... you can let me know.
Wow...
Anyway it was nice to meet you. Ya you too.
See you around.
Party boy!
What's going on? Stop flirting with that guys.
Seriously, come on, Geran is waiting for us.
Look at this!
You like John Travolta?
Have you seen this movie? "Perfect"?
With Jamie Curtis, butt aerobics.
Good film.
Acting not so much but Travolta
Shit man! He should have Oscar.
Who this?
I'm Casey. What?
I've been working for six months.
What?
Casey!
Oh yeah. Casey!
The drugs they affect my eyes.
She's big time car thief of America.
Tell her how many cars you steal?
I don't know...
I guess it was one too many.
You want to make more?
Yea. I need someone like you,
Burt Reynolds, a nobody, but smart.
And someone like you Grease Lightning,
A nobody, but crazy.
It's time to step up.
What is it? Special job. A lot of money.
You in?
Yea we're in.
Hang on wait no. What is it? It is dangerous?
What kind of question is that?
Of course it's dangerous.
You want safe job?
You work in IKEA, don't question me!
You don't want it, I don't care.
You want to run around collecting money for me till you get knived?
That up to you, I clean the place to like that.
I care about my employees, offer you something better.
You want it?
Yes or no?
I just made it official Thank-you.
What?
I just made it officially, quit my job.
Now you have no excuses to go on a date with me.
Are you serious?
Completely.
You're crazy.
No, no I'm just a risk taker and you seem worth the risk.
Come on, just one date, that's all I'm asking.
You know we've seen each other everyday for the last month.
Yes, I have been following you around. I'm sorry.
We should move in together.
Cool!
I love you!
Hey. Hey, how you doing?
Good how about you?
I was good.
You want a beer?
You look cute.
Come here.
What have you been doing?
Missed you. Missed you.
So?
I gotta go to work.
I'm not stopping you. You are.
Just a little
Maybe I can be late.
Geran. Hagen.
Well...
How's family? Good.
Yours?
I spend more time with the horses. They don't ask for so much.
Yeh.
What do you ask for, Geran?
What do you ask for from me?
Equal partnership.
I see. We've worked together a long time.
A long time.
I never cheat you. Never once.
I take risks.
Oh I know.
You take most of the return.
Of course.
I supply the product. Without which there would be nothing.
I accept it. I accept it
Good
From a business point of view Geran.
Where is the leverage on me to give you what you ask for?
Point of view of fairness.
This must be an appeal to my better nature
Is that bad?
It is a bit of a surprise as a way of asking for more money
No if about money.
But if it's respect
It is me and my place, you and yours, my kind in our place
I know you'll say no, absolutely
I know it.
But I have to ask.
I have to hear it.
Geran, the work you do, the risks you take,
Entitled you to at least half of what we earn together.
But the person you are compared to the person I am.
Compels me to reject, to refuse what you ask for.
It is a question of character, of refinement, of
value, of virtue
of which you know nothing.
Be comfortable in your place in life, Geran.
It suits you well.
But you will be an equal power with me,
in any sense of the word.
Look at these people,
They are in their own little holidays thinking its gonna go on forever.
- What's forever? - Nothing
That is the point.
Jesus Christ! Lets go up, have a cuddle and maybe have sex.
You're so romantic.
I am a very lucky, lucky girl to you.
Since you walked away from that crazy, crazy Turkish psychopath
I'm proud of you, Casey Stein.
Worked out okay.
Okay, the challenge is...
we stripped to our underwear, get in the snow, first one to get up
walks around the block, naked...
- Can I keep my socks on? - No
- Alright! Let's do it. - Naked... NOW!
Everything off, okay?
It's too cold, I keep my shorts on.
It's so cold...!
3,2,1 GO!
- Aargh! - It's so cold
Are you alright? Let's Go!
Jules?
Hey come on! Jules
Jules!
And now we have got the blood pressure under control,
there should be no further risks of seizures
We must prepare to address the underlying condition
I'm sorry, but I'll be honest.
Your status in this country
Does not entitle you a place in the required program
But obviously, you will not be denied Hemodialysis, but em...
Yeah I'm sorry! You say she's gonna need dialysis?
Yes of course.
Well, ultimately a kidney transplant is the only solution.
And time is of the essence, but we can not help you, I'm sorry.
- Why didn't you tell me? - What's the point?
You heard what she said? I need a transplant and they won't give me.
That's the point! You are my best friend and you know everything about me
You know how it makes me feel?
How you feel?
Please stop!
You're okay?
Shit crazy, like I almost shoot you two both.
Yo! Burt Reynolds, you made a comeback...
I knew it.
Hey, come on.
How about the door?
You look tense.
You want a woman?
Champagne, cocaine, viagra, take what you want
I just want to make some money.
For that we all live, to make money.
So, I have own racehorses.
You know the difference between a racehorse and a hooker?
Me neither. Do you want to find out?
Bye bye!
Chao!
- Hagen Kahl, you've heard of him? - No
Okay!
Number 1 businessman.
Hagen Kahl Logistics, completely legal, efficient, trustworthy
All that German shit.
Second, security
This one not quite so legal
I mean every man got to watch his assets..
But this Hagen Kahl, got an army.
Three, drugs!
Which of course is not legal at all
So, once every six months...
A truck travels from docks of Rotterdam to Cologne.
Trucks carrying 4,000 cubic feet of golf balls
Drive with cocaine all the way from Chile
Yeah, so the cargo is delivered to one of Hagen's depots.
And they empty them in the warehouse
He hands the products off to Geran for distribution
Geran gives back taking in 500 euro notes
You know, easy to move
Finally Hagen packs the money into the bodies of high end
luxury cars.
5 million in each car.
They exports down to ships, ships go back to Chile
and the cycle is complete
This businessman, raised in England, German bloodline
family man, but not the best drug trafficker and killer
Don't you forget that.
Now, the same guy drive truck every time.
Doesn't drink, smoke and drugs
clean record, guys like wolf
No sleep for 48 hours
Don't stop to piss
Always on time. Guy's a psychopath.
Like driving terminator.
Top of truck mounted camera.
GPS device
So I need someone like you, Burt Reynolds
a nobody but smart
And you Chris Lightning, a nobody but crazy.
You figure out a way to steal truck, Burt Reynolds, you bring it to me
Then, you'll make your money.
250,000 each
Now you tell me...
Are you the racehorse or are you the hooker?
JULIETTE & CASEY
Listen, I think there is a way.
What do you mean?
If we go back to the States, pay for the transplant ourselves
You do not think I thought of that?
It's nearly 200,000
We can barely even cover our rent.
Yeah, I will stop working at the site and go back to what I was doing.
Earn some serious money.
Serious money?
What you gonna do? Rob all the casinos in Vegas?
One night of glorious mayhem?
There is a way to get the money. I can do it.
And I can look after myself too, but there's no offense.
I did it for a long time before you came along.
Okay, I just get back working for Geran,
make some good money, some serious money and then...
No, Casey.
No, I don't want you to do that for me.
You are all that I've got, okay?
All I'm trying to do is to protect you.
Promise me you are not gonna do it.
STIEFEL
Okay
Snake bite...
Two parts of Jack Daniels and tequila, one part of Tabasco.
T, please T, this is serious
I am serious, I worked all week, it's my day off.
And we've gone over this 100 times. I needed a drink.
Yeah I know, but focus for two minutes and then we can drink.
I focus, eye of the tiger.
So, we hit the truck here, outside of
- What's that? - Really?
The lighter is the bike, the glass is the car.
We crashed the bike into the car, make it look like an accident.
When the truck stops, the driver will get out
- And that's our opportunity - I got it
Alright, then I will move the tracker and you have the driver
Shit! These guys man, I tell you they served up the pressure.
They hit you with the counterattack, always one step ahead.
That's why they gonna win the League. That's why they will get paid.
What? I got money on this game.
It was something you said.
I said a lot of things.
Yes, but serving up the pressure, you know stay one step ahead.
We need a counterattack.
Jules
Get set.
He told me that if you died...
He told me to move on and forget about you.
Well, I can't do that.
Cos letting you lying down to die, it is not us
We will keep moving, we gotta do whatever it takes
Come on! Let's go!
You got it? You got it?
C'mon C'mon!
Go Go Go! Please, please...
You're okay?
Yeah, we said no guns.
You said no guns
CONNECTION ERROR
CONNECTION FOUND
Okay, stick with me till the lake and use the tracker.
Be careful, okay?
Hey, you are not picking up, you are not picking up!
What's going on, man? Where are you? We got to meet Geran in an hour.
Call me back, now. I'm at the spot. Now!
Good morning.
You know, on the rare occasions when people like you
trying to steal from me or take what's mine, I find something weirdly...
drawn to them, wondering who, who this man could possibly me?
Who here will put them up to it?
I wonder.
What I do know about you is that you're an American, because my friends here
told me that you were talking while you were unconscious
which of course is typically American, isn't it?
And judging by your stubborn refusal to talk right now while you are fully conscious
well, I guess that must make you
an extremely brave American or...
excessively stupid American. Either, you tell me.
But you and I are surely that we can cut through all that boring
Sylvester Stallone nonsense, you know?
You just give me the name or the names of the comedians who set you up for this.
Who's the idiotic keeper?
It was me... It was my idea.
I want you to know right now, sir...
that I do not for one moment condemn you for what you have done. Not at all.
Cos our line of work is quite brutal and quite ruthless, isn't it, yeah?
I mean you and I were never set ourselves up to present our resumes, would we know?
We trot, kicked and fought our way to the top.
Welcome to the big, fat, stupid, meaningless world
in which we all live more than half of our being
But no one gives a shit anyway, because that's the way it is, bro.
It always has been and always will be, world without end
Amen... Hallelujah...
Brave New World!
Yeah...
You people...
You know nothing...
By the way, before I forget, you must drink plenty of water when you start talking
which you will do of course, because your mouth will become
exceedingly dry and parched from fear, you understand?
What's was I gonna tell you?
Oh, yes, that's right, my father...
My father was quite a notorious interrogation officer during the war.
One very hot Wednesday afternoon
July 21, 1944, no...
No, it wasn't, it was 43
God, I've always hated Wednesdays.
Yeah, I remember that was I was hiding in my father's study
must have been playing hide and seek with my little sister, you know?
And suddenly I discovered this briefcase, my father's briefcase
Cramped with photographs of my father's methods of interrogation...
that were horrible and disgusting. My father was a horrible, disgusting, evil...
efficient beast.
The pouring sense of duty.
People who knew my father respected him, feared him
I hated my father and I (inaudible) him
After he was dead, I pissed all over his grave, pissed all over it
So obviously, I'm not my father's son and I'm not earning that respect.
I hate painful coach, I hate to torture, but...
I leave that to my friends here.
What I do is deliver the final Qudagra.
Or is it Qudagras.
Anyway, I must fly myself.
Thank you
I have my wife's birthday party to attend, you know?
And ah my three beautiful daughters they would severely...
CHASTISE ME!
You know what women like, don't you?
So I'll leave you in good hands, okay?
Chao!
Oh, one other thing, I noticed your wrist band the name Juliette Marne.
They tell me that you were calling her name when you were unconscious.
Leave her out of this. I promise she has nothing to do with it.
Americans are quite extraordinary must be that psychoanalysis.
Maybe I should have it, oh am I too screwed up for it?
So, anyway, if you don't give us the information we need
I'm sure she will.
Auvidesein, my friend
Hey, I've got something you need, wait!
- Hey - Hey
What's going on? You're okay?
Yeah, I'm okay, I'm okay, I just got caught up.
Where were you last night?
I... I was just at Matthias
But Casey, you promised me you won't gonna go back to that
Yeah, I know, I know! It's not what you think.
Hey, I was thinking we should get out of town for a while
Just you and me, away to take a break.
Look, I saw your letter
I... I just...
Do not need all this shit right now, okay?
Cos you know what day is it, right?
Yeah, I know, look...
- I'm coming home and... - No
I can't do this right now, okay?
Jules look, I'm sorry.
I'll be home soon, please, please. Just wait for me...
I gotta go.
Jules?
Hey, Jules?
Hey, this is Juliette! Leave a message
I'm coming to get you, please just stay there, okay?
Hey move, move, move!
That guy's trying to kill me. He's got a gun. He's got a gun.
Autobahn
Where are you? You're okay?
Yeah, yeah, I'm okay.
Listen, listen, I need you to do something for me.
Juliette is in trouble.
- What? - She's in trouble.
She's at the hospital but she's heading home.
I need you to get her out of the apartment
I will. What should I say?
I don't know, just take her for coffee, say to want to see a movie, whatever!
Movie? Why in the Hell is she going to go to a movie with me?
I don't know T, just get her out of the apartment!
Okay, okay, okay.
Hello?
Never miss a story of small world, the Juliet and her Romeo.
It's William Shakespeare, brutal.
Many innocent characters of his, died violent and meaningless deaths like,
Juliet and her Romeo. Poor Casey Stein.
Lovers address,
is Kaiser Strasse 237, apartment 12B
Yeah that's it 12B.
You can have it back
Tell me where, I'll drop the money, all of it!
Just please leave her out of this
Run, little piggy, run, run, run. Run, little piggy, run, run, run.
Okay, this is Juliette leave your message!
Jules, come on you need you to answer your phone!
I'm sorry okay, I get that you're mad,
but I'm begging you please, get out of the house!
I love you so much, just please listen to me okay!
ANSWER THE PHONE!
You better talk, you bastard!
Hey Geran, yea, I know we messed up.
You sell me out? You sell me out?
No, No, I didn't give you up! I didn't say anything.
It went wrong, But I busted out and stole a car.
It was one of Hagen's drop cars, okay?
It had lots of money in it. Lots of money!
When you say lots, how much?
It's like $5.000.000 in each car, right?
And Geran look, I need $200,000. The rest is yours. All of it!
But I need you to do something for me.
Do what?
I need you to protect my girlfriend, Juliette Marne.
Okay? She's at Kaiser Strasse 237 apartment 12B.
- Get her out of there. - Is that all?
Oh, come on!
Yo this is Matthias. Drop it like it's HOT!
Matthias, I need to know what's goin on. Did you get Juliette?
Hey this is Casey, leave a message.
Casey, I do not know how to say this man but she was not there.
Just let me know she's safe.
I think someone got here first. Call me back, okay?
Call me back!
Pump Three.
[For security reasons we do not accept EUR 500 banknotes]
It's too much? You can keep the change, okay? Keep it.
Come on. Come on, you can see I'm in a mess here.
I need your help, I screwed up.
I really screwed this up!
I was trying to doing the right thing for her but it was stupid.
Told her I would not do it again.
I mean she told me, told me not to do this and I promised and,
now I might have gotten her killed.
I know you don't know me, but I'm not a bad guy.
But the people chasing me...
They are going to kill the love of my life if I do not get to Cologne in time.
Give me that gas and let me drive out of here,
I'll be the luckiest guy alive.
You don't... I probably deserve that too.
I do but she doesn't, Okay?
She doesn't deserve any of this.
Thank you! You are a god damn...
I want to kiss you but I won't, you know you are a saint, Thank-you!
Hey, easy!
I don't know what you are saying.
Get down, get down!
I don't know what you are saying.
It's okay. Look you do not want to...
You do not want to get involved with these guys, okay?
Just put it down. Put it down. Please.
You have to get out of here. Let them go.
What is your name?
Hey, please stay out of this.
He has already made his choice.
Name please?
Wolfgang
Sorry a little louder, I'm a little hard of hearing. It is my age, you understand.
My name is Wolfgang
Wolfgang?
You mean after Amadeus Mozart? Wow!
Do you speak English, Wolfgang?
Don't play his games, don't.
Please, I'm talking to my friend Wolfgang.
Sorry, Wolfy.
Do you speak the English?
A little bit.
That is good, that is very good.
Therefore I will speak slowly.
Do you like Mozart, Wolfgang?
- Sure. - Good.
Well, you will be meeting him soon.
Listen I've been hunting deer since I was 12.
And they are five times faster than you.
And I very rarely miss.
And from this range I barely have to aim.
And I'll blow your head from here to Düsseldorf.
It wasn't a discussion.
Now it is his time.
The painless coup de gras.
Well.
Obviously I've misjudged you, my friend.
In my experience, people who are about to die, usually cry,
or pray or beg a little.
But laughing a little, well, that is original.
You really are quite an exceptional young man, aren't you!
You don't see it do you?
No...!
Enlighten me, please.
I mean, you think with all your money, you are some how better than me.
That you are safe and in control.
But you are not...
I'm in control.
Because I still got your truck.
So you should think about making a deal.
- Burt Reynolds - Did you get her?
- Who? - You know who, Juliette.
Juliette!
- No. No. We were too late. - What do you mean you were too late?
Someone got there before us.
She's dead, I am sorry my friend.
I mess with you... I mess with you.
We got her! We got her! Oh man your face...
I wish I could see it. She here, relax! She here.
I'm confused. She's there? You got her? She is alive?
My men just pick her up, she's on her way.
Come here to race track.
Yeah, okay, I'm on my way.
- Bring the money, okay? - Yea, I got the money. I got the money.
I have to warn you,
From what I hear, she pretty pissed with you.
Sakes me Burt Reynolds!
You give me heart attack!
Next time I shoot you.
Where is she?
You don't see it?
Where, see what?
- You Man, you. - What?
You look like a Burt Reynolds.
Fine, now you've got her right? She's here?
Compliment. You're very handsome man.
Well now not so much, gees you know.
Now you look like mannequin.
But then, Allah him, like a statue, in 'Deliverance' his body.
You could light a match off it!
I just need to see her. I just need to see her.
I love Burt Reynolds
Lets walk!
You say anything to Hagen Kahl about me that I plan all this?
- Nothing. - Nothing?
No, nothing! And where is she?
Oh, I love this song...
Beautiful...
Hey, hey, Geran!
No, no, no, no. It's me, Burt Reynolds.
Burt Reynolds, what did I say?
No sudden moves.
I'm sorry, Yeh!
Please, the drugs are strong today!
Jesus!
Trias!
- Geran... Geran! - Yeh!
- It's not her! - What?
You got the wrong woman!
Hey stay cool man! I did as you asked.
I picked her up from Kaiser Strasse 237 Apartment 12D!
- B! - What?
Apartment 12B
- Not D? - No!
Ah... that explains everything that one why she didn't want to come.
She can go! She can go!
You stupid ass-hole!
If anything has happened to her I swear I'm going...
DO WHAT?
I ask you, Burt Reynolds Do What?
Where's the truck?
Tell me where the damn truck is!
No
Oh my!
Hello?
I believe I have something you want, Mr Stein?
Please, please don't hurt her she's nothing to do with this.
- Then give me what is mine! - Okay, okay, but...
We do it on my terms we meet at the Stiefel Bar in Cologne.
And put her on the phone I want to know she is okay.
Oh my god!
Are you okay?
He's here, Hagen is here.
Now the day is over, the night is drawing near
The shadows of the evening steal across the sky.
What a day it has been Mr. Stein.
What a beautiful day.
I see you brought the money!
Open the case.
Yep, all seems to be in order.
Shut the case. Step back.
By the way I heard about her illness
And your gallant and chivalrous desire to save her life.
I was most moved.
Incidentally you're free to go, Miss Marne.
You on the other hand Casey,
I'll need you to stay so we can sort out this truck business.
Hi, Geran.
I need drink.
Will somebody get me a drink before I die of thirst?
Have some.
That's nice!
Now...
You think I loud, brash, disgusting,
Got no manners? Maybe yes!
But I do have a heart and that heart was sliced in two.
When you refused me equal partnership,
I take it you set up this little circus Mr. Stein?
Yea it was me.
So you gave yourself up to save her life.
That is most interesting.
No, I'm not leaving you. Look, you've got the money. You've got the money.
Why are you doing this?
Why? Because I chose to, it's all in the game, Miss Marne.
Call it the Trinity game.
This man said, I am become Death, destroyer of worlds.
That simple.
Go! Go!
Wretches!
Hey... [Speaking German].
What the hell is going on, Casey?
Geran offered me and Matthias money to steal
a truck from this gangster that had golf balls
full of cocaine in it.
- What? - I wanted the money for you,
to make you better,
but it went bad, I got caught, they tortured me and
Casey...?
Broke out and stole a car, there was 5 million Euros inside.
- In there? - Yea!
Jesus,
Hey look, I just wanted to give you the life you deserve.
What?
If I stuck a pair of tights over my head and robbed a bank you think it was a dumb idea!
Yea, yes of course, I know!
But I had to think some people may think what I did was like... Romantic.
- Romantic? - Yea.
- Well, it's kinda romantic. - Thank-you!
Wait... Wait!
Take the money. I'll find you.
- You'll be okay? - Yeh, I love you.
I love you.
Cola...
And cherry.
Makes cherry-coke!
My daughter taught me that.
Take this.
In prison, candy is like gold dust.
I want to make a deal.
With this... how do, you Americans, call it...?
Rap sheets, you need a miracle.
Hagen Kahl, have heard of him?
It is an outstanding member of this community.
And the biggest drug-lord in Germany.
With powerful allies, they will bury such allegations.
I have hard evidence.
Even then he could still walk.
Well this through the door, then the rest, that is up to you.
I'm listening.
The truck travels from the docks in Rotterdam to Cologne,
full of golf balls packed with cocaine from Chile.
It is unloaded in Hagen's depot and distributed across Germany.
It happens once every six months.
Except, last night the shipment was stolen.
By whom?
You think I'm a amateur?
It doesn’t matter.
What matters is...
Decoy truck.
It's like you said, you have to be one step ahead, have a counterattack.
Why in the hell do we need a decoy truck?
Do not forget that.
Where are we going to get a decoy truck?
We'll steal it.
A couple of days before you and me, empty truck minimum security.
And we put the decoy truck here off the hit point.
And when we finish with the stop...
we swap the trailers.
Simple. Boom.
I can give you that truck... full of cocaine,
With Hagen Kahl's name on the side of it!
What makes you think I'll make a deal?
It would be the biggest drug bust Cologne has ever seen.
The press would love it and...
your daughter would have a hero for a father.
"HAGEN KAHL The King of Drugs"
Here, this came for you this morning.
[From Burt Reynolds]
CASEY!
So as I said...
We all got our reasons for doing crazy things in life,
but Juliette is getting the operation she needed.
We are starting a new life together.
I love you.
No one has ever told me that before.
Girls never told you that before?
No, nobody ever.
I love you.
I love you too.
So if the reason's good enough.
If the reason's love,
then maybe it is not so crazy after all.
