DEATH LAID AN EGG
- You have beautiful eyes. - Do you like me?
Why don't you take off your dress?
- Hey, turn around. - I'm too fat, I know.
Nonsense... you are very beautiful.
My leg...
Say it again.
You've got to hug me.
You've got to give me a big hug.
Say that you want to kiss me.
- I want to kiss you. - You have to cover me with your kisses.
Say it again.
Ye s, cover me with your kisses, darling.
Kiss me... kiss me everywhere.
What are you doing?
Mr. Erickson from Stockholm, please report to the reception.
We have a message for you.
Yes.
Mr. Erickson from Stockholm, please report to the reception.
Mr. Erickson, please.
Signor Marco. The new machine arrived today.
The new machine?
The machine from Belgium we were waiting for. They already installed it.
- The machine from Belgium, fine. - You need to sign this, Signor Marco.
- What? - These delivery notes.
Look, they are addressed to you. Here is your name.
Your wife was looking for you.
She said the workers are done.
She called twice, already.
- What was that? - Oh my God!
Did somebody throw it down here?
It was the workers.
No... I don't think so.
Someone left it up there and the vibrations of the machine...
That was no accident.
- But there is no one up there. - What exactly do you mean?
I mean someone did this on purpose.
To put the pliers like this. That it has to fall down.
And it did fall down.
Please, don't get so excited about that.
I also think, somebody did that on purpose. But who?
- They're all hating us! - Who?
The workers. It is obvious.
Your fault, because you couldn't solve the problem.
If you would have talked to them openly, nothing of this would have happened.
Thank God it is finished and we could get rid of them.
There they are.
They hate us. They were always hating us.
Why are they coming back, now that we don't need them anymore?
When will you do something about it?
How unfortunate, a photography is not like a mirror.
- Why? - The photography retains you forever.
You can't change... or pretend.
But you can rip apart a photography.
On this one I'm ugly. Throw it away.
No, you're beautiful. You're absolutely beautiful.
One can't ignore that you are the mistress here.
That's nonsense.
You're so proud and relaxed. That's really like you.
Have a look at this.
There is such a soft spot around your mouth.
Imagine, there was a time when I wanted to be soft.
- What do you mean? - I could have been soft.
But I didn't have the opportunity as you know.
Here you are both very beautiful. Really.
Yes? Well, that's the best photo.
And these? What are these pictures?
These are pictures of the new compounds. The engineer took them.
Have a look. They are quite interesting.
Good promotional material.
See how much we needed the new machine.
It was good that I insisted.
Now we are having the newest technology there is.
- We've got to make a lot of copies. - Yes.
Excuse me, I've got to do a phone call.
Have a look at this one.
Yes.
A moment, please.
- Who is it? - Why did you lock yourself in?
This morning, a young man was here. He wanted to talk to you.
- Who was it? - I don't know. I didn't know him.
I forgot to tell you. He didn't tell me his name.
Didn't you ask him, what he wanted?
He wanted to talk to you. He wanted to go to your office.
Why didn't you ask him?
I had the feeling, he wouldn't tell me. He wanted to see you.
How did he look like?
He was tall...
he was young, blue eyes. Quite a pretty guy.
Maybe some agent.
Yes, maybe.
I saw Gabrille today. In the bathroom. She has a nice body.
Gabrille? Why do you think of her?
She just came to my mind.
It is good to have her around. She is so young and tender.
Untouched... Shapeable like wax.
She is like a puppet you can play with.
You can't see a human being as a toy.
What kind of nonsense is that?
You could ruin a lot, by the way.
Come on... why ruin?
Better say shape... or change.
That's too abstract for me.
There is nothing more concrete than the naked back of that girl.
Her tight legs and her flawless belly.
Her skin that is always tight, no matter how she moves.
Gabrille is a girl you can't shape. Why would you?
It is nice to have her around.
The moments when she laughs... Or when she hides her face in her hair...
She is so young. She is doing it unconsciously.
If you are conscious about something doesn't only depend on you.
I dreamed of her last night.
She was lying on her bed...
not moving, like she was dead.
This is crazy.
That is not true. She was so beautiful.
So tender... and abandoned.
I know it was just a dream.
So we tumble into our dreams. So helpless and full of desire.
Gabri... Gabri...
Come here.
Come, come here.
Gabri...
We are preparing the guest list right now.
Is next Wednesday okay for you?
Yes, but don't invite too many people.
What's better, 9 or 10 o'clock?
- 10 o'clock. - So write, Wednesday at 10 o'clock.
What's the matter? Why don't you write?
- Excuse me. - Are you not feeling well?
It is nothing. I just hadn't enough sleep.
Did something happen?
It is nothing. I...
I just couldn't fall asleep. I had headaches.
I wandered around to find my pills. But I couldn't find them.
So I went to the kitchen and...
You could have called us. Why didn't you do so?
It can be tormenting if you can't fall asleep.
One shouldn't eat so much in the evening.
- Do it like me. - What does that have to do with eating?
Sometimes you think you can't sleep while you are dreaming.
So, how many people do you want to invite?
About twenty, like always.
I hope you didn't forget the people from the company. Can I have a look?
It is quite windy today.
But not the old ones. They are so boring.
What do you think? Gabri thinks we should have a fancy-dress party.
Is that supposed to be a joke?
No, it is quite amusing.
I really don't know...
Aren't we more interesting without masks? What do you think?
Sorry, I have to go now.
I am expected for a meeting at the company.
Now, are we doing it with or without masks?
One shouldn't eat so much in the evening.
- Do it like me. - Sometimes you think you can't sleep...
while you are dreaming.
- Good morning. - Good morning.
I just checked the automatic operation.
- It's working fine. - Yes.
One thing is strange.
Why is the automatic music stimulator not working, yet.
It should be ready.
Seems to be a broken relay.
We need to check all points of synchronicity.
How do you feel without your workers?
Very good.
My wife is providing the machine with feeding stuff.
That is quite easy.
Yes, man is building the machines which will make him redundant one day.
Do you want to stay here?
No, I've got to go back to the city.
There... listen.
Do you realize we just invited couples to the party on Wednesday?
Better say "so-called-couples".
I know them quite well.
Maybe it is inevitable fiction.
- Hey, Anna. - What's up?
Someone else is coming to the party.
Really? Who will that be?
The young man who wanted to talk to Marco yesterday.
He is quite nice and amusing.
I thought he would fit in, don't you think so?
Yes, let him come. I thought he was nice, too.
Tell me the truth, you are bored here around us.
Oh, no...
When I think about the day I'll have to leave you...
What are you talking about? How can you say that?
Sooner or later I will have to go.
Come on... what kind of nonsense is that?
You know, sweetheart... that you will stay with us always.
Do you know how pretty you are?
You are lovely, darling.
But we need to do something with your hair. You should try on some of my wigs.
No, better stay like this, sweetheart.
Like this I like you the most.
I'm late. How's the market?
Nothing out of the ordinary. It is steady now.
Cancel, cancel!
I'm buying, I'm buying!
There you are. We were already waiting for you, my friend.
Fine, we can start now.
The president doesn't have much time. Let's go.
Signora, it seems like somebody touched my experiments.
Maybe you know something about that?
It wasn't me, and there is no one else entering the laboratory.
I'm working with radioactive isotopes right now.
A minor mistake could kill the next brood.
I was never alone in here and I wouldn't know why I should be.
Maybe it was your husband? I just met him.
Where was that? Here?
Yes. He was right here when I arrived.
But I didn't realize something was wrong.
I don't understand he came here. He wanted to...
He wanted to go to the meeting. He was in a hurry.
Therefore, I don't think he touched your stuff.
That would be most unlikely.
- I wouldn't know why. - Maybe I was wrong.
I'm just talking about it because I'm worried.
For a scientist, those probes are sacred.
I don't need to tell you we are in a critical position right now.
For the most part, we have to blame ourselves.
The whole industry is using outdated technology.
It was our fault that we didn't do enough marketing.
We need to focus on marketing now.
As president of this company, I want to assign you with this, Signor Marco.
I agree without any reservation.
But it is impossible.
This is a task for experts.
I don't know anything about marketing.
It's a question of taste, and you have good taste. That's what matters.
Don't be shy. That's exactly your thing.
You and your talents. You were always interested in painting.
- You even wrote a book. - That doesn't mean anything.
Enthusiasm of youth, nothing more.
It's just about picking the right drafts.
for the sake of the company. You can't change that.
- I can give it a try. - I knew you wouldn't forsake us.
I thank you very much. And the time is right...
to meet someone we hired especially for the marketing campaign.
It's a smart young man with a big entrepreneurial spirit, you'll see.
Most important, he knows his business.
- Gentlemen... - Nice to see you.
May I present you Signor Mondaini who will do marketing management.
I took the liberty of visiting you to meet you.
But I had no luck. You weren't there.
Really unfortunate.
My wife told me about it.
This job is quite important and I'm looking forward to it.
I will be at your service, as far as possible.
Thank you very much.
Fine, now that the introductions are finished, let's get down to business.
I put my faith into you, Mondaini. Don't let me down.
Campari Soda.
Sorry, I hope I'm not too late.
- Sit down. - But I must throw in the invitations. They're in the car.
- Do you want to come along? - No, there is no hurry.
- I need to talk to you. - What? Here?
These people are horrible. Look at them.
The old one with the hat.
And this one... I would like to have an ice cream. Can I get one?
- I was looking for you tonight. - I told you not to.
Tell me the truth. Where were you?
- Why did you leave your room? - I told you I wasn't feeling well.
What's the matter? Why are you starring like that?
Shall I remove my scarf? Why is it irritating you?
- When did you buy that? - Anna gave it to me.
I've got it like forever.
What's the matter. What are you looking for?
I want to know what these signs are supposed to mean.
Some nonsense. How do I know?
Symbols of some kind. Do you know what they mean?
No. I'm not interested anyway.
Me neither. So what are we going to do now?
What do you think?
What were you thinking?
- When? - When you took my scarf.
I was just asking myself where you've been tonight.
You're not supposed to come to me at night.
You're behaving like we were alone.
Do I have to remind you there are three of us. It's impossible.
Why is it impossible that there is just the two of us?
The two of us? You're scaring me.
Come on, there is nothing you are afraid of.
That's not true. I'm afraid of everything. Everything, you know!
Strange that I was mistaken.
You don't know me. Nobody knows how I really am.
Don't get excited. Look straight forward.
You have to face things, if you don't want to be afraid.
That's what I'm doing.
It's not my fault, I can't believe in anything anymore.
Is that because of me?
No, I didn't think of you.
I was thinking about my parents. You know I loved them more than anything else.
Just imagine, we wanted to go on holiday that day.
Stop it, Gabri.
It was a beautiful sunshine morning.
I dreamed about it for months.
I know, it was an accident.
It was a catastrophe.
- You have strange eyes. - Why strange?
I don't know. You somehow look different.
I think when you're in love, the color of the eyes changes.
- You look like you are hiding something. - How did you get this idea?
- You seem to be ashamed. - In front of whom?
In front of the others.
- Why? - Because of Anna.
- I have no reason to be ashamed. - And why do we meet secretly?
It won't be long. We will leave soon.
So you want to get away? How come?
You seemed to like life in a threesome.
I see that you don't know me very well either.
I'm looking for something final.
- You are talking about love? - Yes, why not?
There is nothing more elusive in this world than love.
But it is nice like it is. Why does it have to be final?
- You will come with me, Gabri. - No, that doesn't make sense.
- Why? - How long, you think, your love will last?
A month? Two months?
And after that? How will we continue?
I want to start from the beginning. A new life.
To feel free.
Without having to make decisions that don't concern me.
- That's not possible. - I know.
But I want to make my own decisions. As mad as they may be.
- And how do we make a living? - We'll see.
That's not important. I'll come up with something.
- I can go and steal. - I like that...
The wife of a gangster, hunted by the police.
But don't be mistaken. Courage is luxury.
Bang, bang. Courage is luxury.
The ruthless gangster with his bride.
- Love requires courage. - Nobody can stop us.
To be courageous is luxury.
- They will never catch us. - They may kill us.
Love is the biggest luxury of all.
Let's say it is luxury... Is it that important?
Where do you want to go to? And what about money?
Like you, I don't have anything.
Anything you have belongs to Anna.
The company, the house, the cars, the jewelry and the accounts. Everything belongs to her.
What are we going to eat? Grass maybe?
What are you doing? Stop that nonsense.
What's the matter with you?
You just married her because of her money.
You really want to know why I married her?
Yes, tell me.
Because I loved her.
How did you get to know each other?
Quite unexceptional.
It was as stupid as that. And I married her.
Even when you knew she would own everything?
- It's better, I'm a free man. - But you aren't very free.
- I won't stay here. We'll both run away. - No.
I'll never go away. I'm staying here.
Signor Marco, excuse my assault, but I want to show you the material.
The marketing material. Maybe you can have a look right now?
If you got some time to spare we could go there right now.
Here we have fifteen drafts, done by a prominent graphic.
Needless to say, the ideas were mine.
The chicken... the unknown creature...
came to the light from an unknown past.
Tamed during many centuries, it invaded our culture.
Among all the animals surrounding us, it has a central position.
Its features can be interpreted in many ways.
The chicken as a constructor, as a doctor... the technocratic chicken...
The chicken as a public servant even as a soldier.
This is a bit dubious, I think.
How can you humanize a chicken like that?
I can understand you. This is all new and unconventional, but...
I've got a few other solutions.
Like the chicken as an everyday man. In this case, it can't be heroic.
It should be likable. Like a good friend.
A special draft is this Sunday trip with the beloved family.
The chicken as friend and protector.
And to complete things... the hedonistic chicken.
The playboy chicken, attending a party with a tuxedo.
What do you think?
I will show you. Come with me.
I think this one will be good.
This is the biggest room. What do you think?
No, Signora. There are no doors.
Then let's go over there. There is another room. Come on, guys.
Most important is a door that you can lock.
Don't tell me this doesn't work. We don't have any more rooms.
Well...
Marvelous. Absolutely perfect.
Come on, give us a hand.
- Everything has to be moved outside. - Take everything.
The room has to be completely empty.
There should be nothing in here, which may evoke emotional feelings.
- This is like moving. - Yes, moving out of the web of lies.
A release.
- Somebody get this chair. - Exquisite.
What are you doing?
We want to play a little game. Partner exchange.
The game of naked truth, you know?
A truth, nobody will ever know.
Only the participants, of course.
If they are brave enough, to tell the truth, that is.
Don't you want to tell us what's going on in this game?
Trust chance. Everything else will come naturally.
There is no spontaneous contact with accidental partners.
Don't fool yourself, Signora. The game will be a failure.
Although it may seem immoral to you...
Biologically it is possible. There are no exceptions.
Ladies and gentlemen, the room is now completely empty.
- The first couple can go in. - But how long can we stay inside?
There is no time in this room.
So we don't need to hurry.
Thank you very much for the truth.
- Let's go. - Don't stay too long.
- We'll count the time. - Can we watch?
See you.
- They're coming out. - That was fast.
- Wonderful. - A nice game.
All of that by accident...
- What are the rules of the game? - Are you happy?
There is nothing I can tell you.
- You know, love is a mystery. - Charming.
Did you hear? Love is a mystery.
He who uncovers the mystery, destroys the magic.
Let's go on. Where's the next brave couple? Come on.
- Go on. - No cheating.
- Always according to the rules. - Of course.
Don't drink so much. You have to keep a level head.
- So quickly? - She's crying.
- What's the matter? - Something went wrong.
What's the matter?
Why are you crying? - Nothing, it's nothing.
- It's quiet, what are they up to? - I'd rather hear nothing.
- They are falling in love. - Don't talk. Otherwise they will listen to us.
Sometimes I'm afraid I can't keep it up.
Nonsense! You'll have to keep up until the end.
All you need is a strong will and strong nerves.
Don't be afraid. Nothing will happen.
We are stronger.
Look at them.
I don't know what to do. Tell me!
Take it easy. I don't even recognize you.
You want to go to her? What are you waiting for?
Ah... Look at this.
When did you meet him?
Who are you talking about?
You know that very well.
That guy outside. From the marketing company.
The other day, when he wanted to talk to you.
That's not true. You knew him before.
How did you come up with that? Don't you trust me?
He is so open. I like him.
But I don't like him.
- Is that all you've got to tell me? - No, wait.
I'm not finished. This is the most important part.
I can't take it much longer.
I made up my mind, darling.
You're the only one for me.
Let's not be considerate anymore.
What about Anna?
Anna just vanished from my life. She is nonexistent to us.
Let's pretend she never was.
Let's forget her.
There's just you and me. We are all alone.
Who did just scream?
- That's not funny anymore. - Now it gets really exciting.
Turn on the light again.
What is this about? Such a goddamned nonsense!
This is not a game anymore.
I don't understand. How did that happen?
- Why is he so angry? - Marco! Marco!
I'm so sorry. I was so scared and...
so I screamed.
I was always afraid of the dark. Please excuse me
- It's a bit late by now. - Yes, we'll have to go.
- Let's go, too, Bruno. - Yes, you're right.
- It is really late. - Thank you for the nice evening.
- We have to leave, too. - How time flies.
- I will call you next week. - We'll be in Paris next week.
I'm sorry. It was all my fault.
The game was over anyhow. It wasn't as much fun as I expected.
Now we've got to straighten out everything.
What is it?
A letter, addressed to me.
These cowards. An anonymous letter.
Disgusting.
Disgusting cowards!
Anna. Anna!
- Monika. - Yes?
Are you available?
- It depends. - 724. - OK.
Wait for me, guys. I'll be back soon.
Hurry a bit.
May I come in?
Come in.
Money first, darling.
- Anna. - It's open. Come in.
Serves me right.
You think you know everything and understand everything.
But in fact, you don't know anything.
- But everyone else knows. - Why do you take it so seriously?
Maybe it's not true?
The letter is a fact.
It's OK if it's true. So you know where you are.
I've been cheated all these years, surrounded by a web of lies.
Go to bed.
Don't move.
You're hurting me.
Stop reading that shit. Rip it apart.
The truth is as banal as it is grotesque.
Who pays for feelings and dreams...
How disgusting.
I would like to know, where he is getting it.
The hotel near the highway.
You read the letter, too.
He gets a room... then calls the porter.
And that's it.
- They are sitting around. - Who is sitting around?
The prostitutes. I saw them.
The things you know... Prostitution is as old as the world itself.
What's more attractive to men? The convenience or the vice?
Fulfillment of secret desires?
Imagine a wife, dressed like a prostitute, surprising her husband.
What an experience! She would wake up from the dream.
Yes. Why not?
It's worth fighting for it, isn't it? I'll surprise this rat, wherever he is.
You will help me. I want to see these girls.
Alright. This might be fun.
And I can only learn from that.
What can he find there? More than I can deliver?
You really frightened me.
What's the matter?
Didn't you hear the workers?
They came here, too. I chased them away.
They don't get that we don't need them. They have silly demands.
- They smashed a window at the house. - As I said, we've got to report them.
The company is helpless.
The police needs to intervene now.
We have the right to ask for guard.
Calling the police would be no good idea.
The machine is filled up. It will be enough until tomorrow.
Maybe you can do an inspection tour.
We need to do everything by ourselves now.
Anna...
I think they're all bored.
Everything is so conventional.
Just a fraud and an illusion.
It is all a question of wigs and makeup.
Excuse me. Do you have a light?
You move like they do. What's the matter?
Just an impression.
I've never seen such an expression as such one has in her eyes. It's weird.
- I see what you mean. She's been around. - That's not what I mean.
It was indefinable, almost a capacity for cruelty. Suffering and create suffering.
To degrade herself and someone else.
Lingerie is important, too. Your bra and panties are as important as what's under them.
I look good in black. But I think I'll wear something brighter.
- It's much more vulgar. It will be fun to buy the right thing. - No, let me do it.
Let me buy it for you. I want to take you off everything.
- I want to change you with my hands. - Whatever you say.
We must protect the company with everything. We must stand 15.000 strong.
Good morning, Signor. A pleasure.
- Are you busy? - Never too busy. Come in.
Excuse me, you see what happened. You hate the sight of blood, too?
I'm afraid, one of them attacked me. They're so aggressive.
They are so mean to me, but I am supposed to catalogue them, for the files.
They are good company, but sometimes they get nervous.
And then they get cruel. But administration has to get information, nevertheless.
- I understand. - How can I help you?
I want to ask you a big favor.
Do you have a ticket for the Amsterdam congress? I need it for my wife.
- But it's the day after tomorrow. - She will go tomorrow.
I still have lots of tickets. Many of the members stay home...
because of the difficult situation.
I'm happy your wife is attending the congress.
This is the invitation.
You only need to book a seat at the airline, Signor.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
You can find wig shops in the city.
Wasn't that Gabri just a few moments ago?
Yes, I took her to the city. She wants to buy something.
May I invite you for a coffee? Or a drink?
No, thank you.
I'm expected at the office.
When can we see each other again? About the drafts.
The president said it would be urgent.
I would like to do it as soon as possible. Shall I come around later?
Impossible.
I don't have time today. We'll meet some other time.
All right. Keep me informed.
- It's your wife. - Put her through.
- Hello Marco. - What's up?
You need to come home at once. Something unbelievable happened.
- Terrible! - What's the matter?
Hello.
Hello! Hello!
- What happened. - Have a look at this.
Horrible. What is that?
It's part of the last brood. Must have just hatched.
Disgusting.
Like twitching brains.
Just a torso... Without head and wings.
Who knows beside us?
I called the biologist. He'll be here any minute.
That was a mistake.
Say... did you touch the experiments the other day?
The biologist told me, someone mixed up his experiments.
It surely wasn't me. I wouldn't know why I should do that.
Nobody said it was you. I just asked, nothing more.
What happened?
This is unbelievable.
No head and...
- no wings. - And it seemed like they were growing really fast.
Without feeding them.
Maybe we are close to the mutation we hoped for so long.
That would be fantastic. They hatched here, so they belong to us.
Nearly no bones.
Just flesh and tender musculature.
That means we can minimize the cost.
The packing will also need a change.
- You're right. - We need to tell the directorate immediately.
Nobody will be informed. These are deformities.
- Disgusting. - But... what do you mean?
That's... exactly what we were looking for.
This is revolutionary. Think about the importance of it.
That doesn't matter. These monsters shouldn't live.
Don't you understand...
That may be our financial savior.
Please leave.
But Marco, this is sensational.
I will file my protest.
The door is over there. Get out of here.
- I will report right now. - I said get out!
What will you do now?
You're not thinking about destroying this valuable mutation?
Reality! Not a dream anymore.
The result of years of research.
I didn't want it then and I don't want it now!
But I want it. And I don't have any reservations.
I didn't build this farm only to give up...
in a moment where we can multiply the production.
I don't let anyone destroy this chance. Especially not you.
I hope you understand what I'm saying.
I'm serious!
Here. Do you like it?
This is nice. And these boots...
Yes, wonderful. Well done.
I'm satisfied.
I even had time for a little rehearsal.
What about him?
He must be still downstairs with the chickens. Seems he was afraid to come back.
But why did he kill them?
He will get in trouble with the people from the company.
Of course! And I didn't want to spare him that trouble.
I intentionally provoked him into killing them.
And I'm looking forward to meet him in this disguise.
And surprise him.
I'll find out what his pleasures are. I'll destroy every desire. I'll find out his secrets.
Don't you think it may be dangerous?
I'm not afraid of him.
If one of us is afraid it's him.
First the first time, we will see each other, as we really are.
I will confront him at last.
He won't get away this time.
Won't it be even worse when you break up?
It will be for him.
That's the moment he will reveal his true face.
I never fooled him.
But he lied to me and betrayed me.
But this will end for once and for all.
Look. Who can resist that?
There must be a letter...
- You will let me know... - Of course, Signor.
How can I be of service?
Just tell me, yes or no. I don't have much time.
- I already said yes. - Well, thank you very much.
Hello? Good Afternoon. My admiration...
To the main entrance? Of course I know.
OK, but... Listen, I don't need your advice.
At what time? Which floor?
OK, I will be there.
I hope there is no question about why I called you in my office.
I just read the report of the chemist of your laboratory. It is incredible.
It seems to me outside the realm of any human standard.
What obscure motifs could you have had to suppress biological results of that importance...
to society and especially to this company?
Especially at a time of extreme difficulties like this...
when our productivity and commercial existence...
are faced with such a devastating economic crisis.
Anybody else who'd saw them would have been violently ill.
That strikes me as a very childish reaction.
But that's exactly what happened to me.
- And I'll be the judge of my own personal reactions. - Just a minute.
As a member here, you have responsibilities towards the company.
It isn't my responsibility developing monsters.
Such reactions are outside the interest of biology and economy.
You might say that they belong to the world of morality.
And your ideas must not stand in the way of the commercial development company.
Excuse me.
I don't think there's anything more to be said.
Hello, front desk.
It is you. How are you?
What did you say?
Of course it's possible, Signor Marco.
Come in through the delivery entrance. You already know it.
Ye s, OK.
You're welcome.
No! What are you doing?
To get rid of everything.
To disengage... get free.
To start from the beginning, start a new life.
At 5 o'clock...
the machine...
The egg... the work...
The egg... it's impossible to clean it.
I want to stop. It is not possible.
You can't clean it. I want... I want...
This is what I want. At 5 o'clock... the machine.
Impossible... impossible...
- What's up? - Don't forget to take your wife to the airport.
I'm on my way. Thank you.
Sure. The 18th.
Of course.
Certainly, Signor. Goodbye.
Criminal investigation Department. What happened here?
- Nothing. - Who called us?
The police? Nobody, why?
The caller said a woman was murdered in room 724.
All of us were once murdered in room 724. Isn't it, Monika?
Yes, I was murdered and tortured there at least four times this month.
Me too.
He has a strange taste but he is nice. A real gentleman.
He seems to be up there with a new girl.
Everything seems pretty clear. The usual anonymous call.
Let's not take the easy way out. Let's go upstairs.
- But our guest... - Don't fuss! Take the keys and come along.
It would be nice to catch one of these pigs red handed.
Where is room 724? This is taking ages.
Just a moment, gentlemen, this is a big hotel.
Open the blinds. You can hardly see anything in here.
Nobody in here. Everything seems alright.
Obviously, they were finished and left.
Of course, he's a gentleman and would never harm anyone.
I would like to meet this gentleman and talk to him.
- What did he do? - That's a moral question. Just a moral question.
How many times does he come?
This room is reserved for him for a few months.
He rented it.
Can't you see how important it is? You always wanted something we could share between us.
I was afraid, so I screamed.
Why was he still here?
Suddenly I saw him standing in the booth.
The same moment, he switched on the machine.
I don't know why. I don't understand anything anymore.
But I'm beginning to understand. He thought it was his wife screaming.
Obviously, he planned to kill her.
To get rid of her with the help of this machine.
Of course... The ticket to Amsterdam.
He told the secretary, his wife would attend the congress.
It is obvious. The trip to Amsterdam was his alibi.
- Anna didn't know about that. - Of course. She wasn't supposed to know.
He told the others to have an alibi.
How stupid we were. All we had to do is wait.
But he went to the hotel. Why did he do that?
Because he wanted his alibi to be perfect.
Our friend had it all well planned.
But he walked into our trap after all.
And that's what we wanted.
What will we do if it didn't work?
I watched the police arriving.
Maybe they already got him.
Now our friend will go to prison for the rest of his life.
Or they're putting him in a loony bin.
And I will inherit the house, the chicken farm and everything else.
That will be the end of poor cousin, having to go to bed with everyone around.
Listen to me...
I'm having big plans with the farm.
- I want to change everything. - But everything is state of the art.
I will buy even better machines.
And I will analyze his chemical experiments.
And we will marry.
Hey... was it hard for you?
No.
Actually, it was quite easy.
Did she scream?
Yes... a little bit.
Wait a minute. Someone is arriving.
The chicken as friend and protector. And to complete things, the hedonistic chicken.
When did you meet him?
Seems like nobody's here.
Hey... why is she lying here?
So he has to be around here, too.
Don't just stand there, help me.
- No, I'm afraid. - Dopey cow.
Hello? Anybody here?
No. It wasn't us.
- It wasn't us. - Who else was it?
Her husband.
- And where is he? - I don't know. Maybe he fled.
Have a look around.
If he fled, he won't get very far.
You are coming with us.
But we don't have anything to do with it. We are innocent.
Don't worry, everything will turn out.
Sergio, call an ambulance.
- Call an ambulance. - Alright.
Nobody here.
Nobody here, either.
We need the crime scene unit. Contact headquarters.
