THE STRANGER

Hello!

Would you please take down your glasses. - Of course!

Where do you come from? - From Rio... no, from New York.

What now? - From New York. I've been to Rio before.

Is there something wrong?

No. Everything alright!

Thank you. Goodbye.

Hi. Someone's coming. Leather-jacket, sunglasses, maybe 30. Take a look at him.

Have a nice stay. - Thank you!

I'm already booked. Sorry. - That doesn't do a thing.

They couldn't believe. They just couldn't believe that I'm clean.

We did it! We really did it!

Well, not that bad. It'll do for a few days.

After that I'll buy paradise.

100.000 Dollars. At least!

We did it sweetheart.

Fuck! I lost it! - What's wrong?

I lost my tape. - What tape?

The tape with my music. - So what? We're to New York soon.

It does matter! You know that I need that music!

You'll get it back. It's just a few days.

That's for business, not for us. - That bit won't make a difference.

Take some yourself.

We still got an hour left.

Fuck! He doesn't answer!

Don't know where he's at. It's 2 o'clock already.

Maybe he forgot?

I talked to him yesterday. It was all planned out.

That's 'The Bunker' here, right? - Yes.

Is there another club called 'Bunker'? - No, only that one.

Maybe he's got a problem and we meet him tomorrow.

Problem... we'll face a problem if he doesn't show up soon.

Maybe we meet him tomorrow.

I talked to Paolo. He said I should come home.

You're right. Enough for tonight. We call him tomorrow.

After this I want to go home.

I want to go to Mexico.

Ok. Let's go to Mexico first. Getting to know your people, your country.

I don't mean it like that.

I wanted to say that I want to go there alone.

Well... for how long?

I don't know.

Hi. - Good Morning.

Particular incidents? - None.

How many drunks? - Four and a half.

Well, that's ok! How many beautiful broads?

Three, well actually four. One counts double.

Lucky one. Four drunks, four broads. Above average!

Well, seems I'm a lucky kid.

See you around.

Sleep well!

Still alive? - Looks like it.

Listen, get a phone. Visiting you feels like something official.

I can't afford it. - Well I got a tip for you:

Konecki is retiring. We need a mechanic.

Meet the boss. Tell him you don't drink anymore. That's true, is it?

Well then. You'll be hired for sure.

Maybe not exactly same conditions, but you'll get there again over time.

Maybe I'll do that. - Maybe? What's there to evaluate?

Over is over. Don't bury yourself. Accelerate! Start off!

I'll think it over. Coffee? - Yes, please.

Got to drive tonight? - Yes.

I wanted to ask you a favour.

Could I use your appartment for an hour or two?

I'm working long hours. - Fetch the keys next to the door.

Thank you! - No problem.

Long hours? - Yes.

Garage voucher? - No, unfortunately.

116,60 please.

Thank you.

Don't you want to join a club? You're already in that age.

What club? - Soccer.

You start at the boys league. Train. Match on the weekend. I did that too.

I'd prefer basketball. - Basketball? You think so?

In two weeks there's a cup final. Are you interested?

I'll get us tickets. - Ok.

In two weeks? - Saturday.

Saturday. That's not possible. We're leaving for holidays.

Holidays? Where to? - Greece.

I got some pictures.

Amazing!

Who is going? - Me, Mommie... and G�nther.

Alright.

Is that empty? Want another coke?

Hi. - Hi.

When will he arrive?

He can't be on holidays. We got an appointment.

Can I reach him somehow?

Who are you? His girlfriend?

Wait... Wait, sister.

I'm a friend of your brothers. We had an appointment.

It's very important. Can't we meet and talk.

Ok. Thank you.

He's away? - Something's wrong.

His sister won't say a word but we meet in the evening.

Wait what she has to say. After that we know.

Why is all of this so troublesome?

...with bucket-seats.

This is Harry.

Hello. - This is Beate. Do you know each other?

By sight.

You two live together?

Actually it is his appartment. Why are you still here? - Am leaving.

I don't get this.

Look. I thought I'd explain when we are here.

You are married. That's it.

And you wouldn't tell me.

He's married. An that's the sleazy joint.

Why does this always happen to me? Could you explain?

Or you?

You are Jakob's friends? - Yes.

I knew it. You're looking forlorn. All his friends look like that.

Why?

Because he's in jail. That poor boy.

- Investigative custody. He dealt a little.

They arrested him two days ago.

I could leave quite quickly. They thought I don't know a thing.

Well it's true. What a pity, isn't it? - Indeed.

Where did you meet him? - We didn't meet. He knows a friend.

Do you know his partners? - No one. He never told me.

Earlier I was angry on this. Well now it's luck or we all would be arrested.

They arrested a lot of people. - Think. What did he say? I need a tip.

He was obsessed with the Russians. That they would take over everything.

I told that to the police too.

Where can I find those Russians?

Apparently they are everywhere.

I don't know anything else. He won't be out soon anyways.

Poor boy.

But I'll stick to him. Have fun.

Did you get everything? - Yes.

What shall we do now?

We find another connection. - How? We only know that lunatic.

Keep cool. We'll find. Everything will be alright.

And then you'll leave for Mexico.

Yes.

Why?

I'm tired. I have to think a lot.

Think about what?

About life.

Life? - Yes, life.

Rainer?

What are you doing? Come to bed.

You stopped! Fuck you! Why are you doing this?

Why are you doing this?

Tell me why you did this.

Hello.

The guy with the sleazy joint. - Hello.

What kind of guy are you? - A cab driver.

I know that. Apart from that?

What else? - In love, engaged or married?

Divorced. - Me too. Thank God.

May I invite you for a drink?

Can I invite you for a drink? We got something to celebrate.

Are you talking to me? - Yes, to you if you don't mind.

Sweet how she says that.

May I invite you for a drink? Just like that.

Ok. A Manhattan.

A Manhattan.

Where are you from? I don't know you. - Mexico.

Mexico. Beautiful country.

I've been to Acapulco. It was fun.

Are you alone?

That's not quite common. Why?

My friend already left. Discussion.

Discussion? Oh, you mean you had a fight.

Yes, a fight. - Discussion. Got to remember that.

It's ok! I'm leaving!

What a commotion.

To you beautiful strange lady.

Assholes!

Stay away! You won't enter here again.

Give me back my things.

What things?

What are you claiming back? Tell me?

Here we call it 'Mexiko'. - I know.

Small dealer. Tried to spice up his pocket money.

You own the club? - A little, most belongs to the bank.

Thank you for the drink. - Already leaving?

I'm tired.

How long did you think I should wait?

This is all shit. We can't go this way. Something has to change.

What shall we do? Smuggle it out again? Give it away? Dispose it in the Danube?

We have to look for a real connection.

It's not that easy with everybody in jail. It takes time.

That's life. We were out of luck.

That's not being out of luck. You don't even try.

Calm down. It's going to be alright.

I don't want anymore. I don't want to be in this city anymore.

Everything's shit. - Well, then fuck off! Take the plane!

Nobody's holding you back. Just run off. You're free.

You want to go down here? Why?

Don't dramatize. Nobody is going down.

Let's go home.

This is not home. - Shut up. Please, shut up.

Taxi!

It takes time.

It's about a lot of money after all.

And now calm down.

It's going to work out somehow.

Please stop at the ATM.

Could this be yours?

I drove you from the airport. But you were in better mood. I remember.

Must have been two weeks ago.

I drive people every night. But you can remember some.

Don't know why. Probably coincidence.

Drive on.

Drive! Hurry!

Without him? - Yes. Go on, hurry!

Please.

Please.

Never got into something like that.

Where are you from?

Mexico. - Well, that's quite far.

Where do you want to go? - A hotel.

Which price range?

Cheap. - Ok.

It's said to be ok. And it's reasonably priced.

I fear we have a problem. - So? What problem?

I don't have any money.

Doesn't matter. I enjoyed it. For free. - Thank you.

You're welcome. Take care.

Hey wait. If you don't have money you can't pay the hotel.

No. - So, what do you want to do?

Sleep. That's a problem for tomorrow.

I got a room free. You could sleep at my place if you like.

You're alone. No disturbance. I have to drive all night.

Nothing special. No palace. Just a bed for the night.

It's in the outskirts. I could get you there.

Ok. Let's go.

Could I take a shower? - It's over there. If you're hungry...

No.

Do you have music? - I'm sorry no.

You don't have music? - Sounds strange, but I don't.

What's your name? - Mercedes. Yours?

Harry.

Harry.

Ok.

I'll go driving. See you tomorrow.

One needs fuel to endure this.

I know that. Have been hooked for years. Don't know how I came off it.

Somehow close to going down. Last chance.

One can do it. It's possible.

Are you talking to me?

No. I'm talking to myself. Here, get yourself something.

Who are you? What are you doing here?

I bought some bread.

I want to go back home.

That's all.

Why don't you leave?

Someone owes me money. A lot of money.

When I got that...

If you want you can stay until then. Here's plenty of space.

May I call someone? - I don't have a phone.

No? - There's a phone-booth downstairs.

Ok.

Answer the phone. Fuck!

Is it you? - Yes.

Where are you? - Somewhere.

When will you come? - I won't come.

What does that mean?

Listen sweetheart. I'm not well. I need you.

I'll come. But not into the appartment.

You have to sleep.

Can I borrow this? - Sure.

Take care. - You too.

Get in the car.

Do we have everything?

I waited for an hour.

Sorry.

Why are you doing this? It's bullshit.

Got the stuff with you?

Still got it?

Where?

It's mine. I payed for it.

I smuggled. For business. No one does business with you the way you are.

Cut the crap. I want to know where the stuff is.

Tell me.

I left something in your apparment. - My appartment?

Good. So let's go home.

What do you want to do? You don't know anyone.

Want to eat something? - Yes.

We've got music now. - Great.

Do you have a kid? - He's off to the sea with his mother.

When will they come back? - Here never. They live elsewhere.

Do you love the sea?

Loving? That would be too much. I think it's ok.

We've been there on holidays. - I need the sea. It understands me.

I wanted a bar in St. Domingo. - Where is that?

The Carribean. - Ah ok. Living there and everything's fine.

Shit.

Why did you go to Vienna? It's not quite near the Carribean.

Business. Money for St. Domingo. - What business?

Wait here.

I show you something.

This is my song.

Do you understand?

What did he do to you? Why did you run off?

Are you my friend?

Then I'll tell you.

He's a junkie. I can't stay with him anymore.

Everything's destroyed.

I feel dirty. I'll take a shower.

Can I stay here? I don't sleep well alone.

Yes, sure.

Thank you.

Slept well?

There's coffee. I made some.

Great.

What's the matter with you?

I don't know what to do. I think and think but have no clue.

I need someone to help me.

Are you my friend? - Of course.

What's the problem?

I show you.

What's that?

- This is 1 Million Schillings. Heroine? - No Cocaine.

That is worth a million? - Approximately, if you use fruit-sugar.

Sugar from fruits. - Glucosa. Then it's worth even more.

It's 100 %.

You take it too?

No. It's only for business.

I'm looking for a buyer.

I don't know anyone here. It's a foreign city.

It's quite risky. - No problem, I'll do everything.

You know someone?

Can you ask someone?

Will you help me?

I got a problem. I am looking for someone to buy a kilo of coke.

Are you mad? Don't you know what's going on? Don't you read the papers?

It's not for me. A friend of mine needs the tip.

Then she should hide it and wait a few months. - She's in a hurry.

Is it that important?

I might do a few calls. - Thank you.

Don't expect too much. - You'll find the right guy.

See you. - See you.

All the cokeheads are panicking these days.

And for good if you ask me.

I'm a working-man who drinks and that's all.

So what?

Well, there is one left doing business as usual.

He's to be confronted with caution. A bad guy.

His name is Alexander. - Where can I find him?

He's got to do something with the "99". Think he owns the place.

So well. Can't be that difficult.

Keep your hands off it.

It's not the right time.

I only provide the information. It's got nothing to do with me.

That's wise Harry. Very wise.

How's it going sweetheart?

I found a buyer.

That quick? - I was lucky.

It's in that club that we went.

There's lack of it in this city.

You're lying tough girl.

No, you will see.

Soon we'll do business.

You got something with you?

Will you wait? - Yes.

Where do you live? - With a friend.

Does he know?

Does he know for God's sake?

He helped. But I'll do the rest on my own.

You meet a guy and tell him right away you got coke for 100.000 $? Are you mad?

I know what I'm doing. He's alright. He likes me.

Do you fuck him? - No. He's just a friend.

He helps. He is nice. - No one's nice with money involved. Can you think?

Yes I can. I think all the time. And I do what we are here for.

Business.

Not going down.

How can I know you won't trick me? Run off with that saintly nice guy?

Fuck you! I called you to meet. I stayed for you in this city.

What do you think? Who do you think I am?

You're sick in the head.

Excuse me.

Could you light my cigarette? - Of course.

Thank you. - Are you going in?

No need to be here. You can't get in.

It's a pity. - Lick my ass.

Will you join us? We're heading for a party. It'll be fun.

I stay here.

Are you coming?

Well...

I'm meeting my friend. He's on his way.

Ah ok. Maybe some other time.

Well... Did they leave you behind?

Sometimes it's better that way.

A boring guy. Too young.

It happens.

Where are you from? - Mexico.

Why are you in Vienna? - Business. And before you ask: it's a secret.

Well... no more questions.

I'm into secrets.

You like the club? - Yes, very elegant.

What are you doing here? - Well, I work here.

I can see that. But what? Throwing people out?

Only if it has to be.

I'm the manager.

The manager? - Yes.

Are you allowed to dance here? - Here I'm allowed to do anything.

I need something to drink. What do you want?

I have something better.

What would that be?

Usually I invite the girls.

Follow me.

Not bad.

The best there is. 100 % pure.

Where from?

Secret.

Another secret.

Makes me even more curious.

You know someone who wants to buy?

Not here.

Just what people bring alone. There's no dealing in here.

It's not tolerated. On principle.

I didn't mean it that way. I meant a big buyer.

One kilo.

You got one kilo of this? - Good price. Can you help?

You know all the people.

That's why you are here.

I knew right away that you're up to something.

I knew right away that you're clever.

You look at the people and know everything.

You know the people.

Can you help? - Maybe.

I got to do some calls.

Please wait outside.

He wants your number.

He'll contact you then. - No. No number.

Then your address.

He has to come here.

Better to be careful.

You're right. I'll call him again.

You did it. He's coming.

You did that. Thank you.

It'll take a few hours. He's busy.

No problem.

You're brave. It's a hard business.

Is he Russian? - No. Not at all.

Business is always difficult.

Should we dance again?

Yes.

Let him in.

Look at that. The mexican beauty! - Hi.

Who would've thought?

You know each other? - She's been here a few days ago.

Always keep your eyes open. The night you threw the dealer out.

Or am I wrong?

Did you know each other?

No. That was a dealer? - Only a very small one.

So you're here for business. Sweet.

Show me.

You got one kilo? - Yes. - Where from?

It doesn't matter.

If you want to do business with me then lay all your cards open. Or we stop here.

So. Where from?

Mexico. - Who are your parntners? Who sent you?

No one. It's just me and a friend.

How did it get to Vienna? - I brought it myself.

Small business. Can I believe that?

There's not much small business left these days.

You know why? It's bad for economic growth.

The small ones don't grow. They always stay the same. That's not good.

Economy has to grow. It needs more and more. It's never satisfied.

Like a junkie.

I studied economy.

It's quite pure.

I only want to do this once.

After that I'll go home.

Can I believe that?

You know I like you somehow. I believe you.

How much do you want? - 1.200.000 Schillings.

A little bit much. - He says it's 100 % pure.

One can earn the double with it.

It's not that easy. You need infrastructure, there are enormous costs etc...

Aside liability. 700.000 maximum. I never buy for more.

It's too less. - What a pity. So go elsewhere.

All the best.

Wait.

Ok. 800.000.

Well then. Bit of an extra charge.

Because I like you.

Finally. I got it.

I got a buyer. I'll sell tonight.

After that: free and away!

Congratulations. So you're going to get back to your sea.

I have to leave. Your city is making me sad.

It's none of my business but someone is following your girl.

Who?

You got some change?

Of course.

Thank you. Quite a handsome guy. At the newspaper stand.

Green jacket.

Thank you. - You're welcome.

What did he say? - He just wanted some change.

Let's go home.

Are you awake?

We got to do something. Someone's following us.

Who? - Someone connected to your deal. Who else?

We get off at the next station.

Better take off your shoes.

Now!

He's away.

Why did he follow us? What does he want?

I suppose the stuff whithout paying. - Why? It's good business for him.

What do you expect? It's a dealer. An asshole. This ain't Disneyland.

No, it ain't. It really ain't.

How was the delivery planned?

I go to the club. I give him the cocaine and he gives me the money.

You go to the club, he takes your cocaine and laughs at you.

Where are you heading?

I give you one kilo of cocaine. I'll leave tomorrow. It's all over.

I don't want anymore. - You want to quit just because that guy followed us?

The people. That language. I don't want to talk like that anymore. I want home.

You'll regret giving up. You're so close. It'll work out.

I help you if you want. It can't be that difficult.

And now we go swimming. It's summer after all.

You're helping me? - Yes.

Are you up for a swim? It's quite near. - Yes.

We're closed. - I got an appointment.

Really? With whom? - I'm here instead of the mexican girl.

So? - Just like that.

Come in.

Sorry but this has to be.

I'm a bit dissapointed. I was looking forward to your girl.

Such a smart girl.

Where's the stuff? - Not here.

Why not? - It wasn't planned that you follow us.

That guy was angry. I've been angry too. Just a little bit.

You've got to understand. Could be that the cops sent you.

I buy the stuff, they catch me and I'm another success for the statistics.

Possibly you're the sniff giving them a hint and you're at peace temporarily.

Right! It could be that way.

It really could.

Wise. So, when will we do it then?

Tonight? - That's too early.

Well, what about tomorrow?

Business has to be done quick. No delays. Golden rule.

The day after tomorrow at the earliest.

I can't sleep then. - The day after tomorrow. It's the only possibility.

Well then. God am I compliant again.

Just show up then. - No. It's going to be different.

Does it? How?

Particular incidents?

I need your help. The day after tomorrow. - Of course. What's it about?

Guess what.

Don't tell me it's about that coke. - It is. The "99" was a hot tip.

Harry I told you to keep your hands off it.

Sadly it's got to be.

Dear Daddy. Holiday is great. The hotel is beautiful.

I've seen a real tortoise. That was cool.

Regards from Mommie too. Yours Alex.

Did you talk to the dealer? - Of course. It's done tomorrow night.

He can't organize the money earlier.

Look. The sea you belong to.

I already got the plane-tickets. - Great. Thank you.

Today we're going to a party. You and me.

What party? You don't know anyone here. - Oh yes, I know party.

I'm here on business. Heard that you've got something to sell.

I know you. You're the one who got kicked out of the club.

You were there too. Much too rude. Please apologize.

I'm sorry. Wasn't meant that way.

This small business doesn't work out. Why didn't you get to me right away?

Would have spared you trouble. You've got a kilo? Is that true?

Well, it's a bit less now of course but I'd gladly take the rest.

I don't have it anymore. - Why not?

My girlfriend has it. She ran off. - Heartless. So where is she?

I don't know. - I would pay for that tip.

I have some sweets with me. Show him.

Looking at you I'd swear you could use it.

Tell me and it's yours. - I don't know where she's at.

Who is that? - I don't know.

Hi Harry. Still alive?

What's it with you?

It's over. Finished. She left me. - You're wife?

No. Beate. She doesn't want anymore. Just like that.

I don't get it.

Women can be so cold. So cold.

A man isn't able to be so cold.

What if we help you along a bit?

I won't know either.

Is your girlfriend Mexican?

Yes.

Well then I know her already.

Ran off of this dirt. Understandable.

It's my fault. I let myself in to deep. Emotionally speaking.

It's a great woman. I thought one could fall in love a bit.

I wasn't careful. And now I'm here.

Tastes good. Since when do you cook? - I didn't cook it.

Hi.

This is Franz. A friend. That's Mercedes.

I'm leaving. Do we meet? - Of course. You find it? - Yes.

Bye.

Who's that? - Got to know her.

Bravo Harry.

Rainer?

Rainer?

You can't be serious.

No need to be frightened sweetheart.

You're here.

You're cell phone is off. - I lost it.

You can't be serious visiting from time to time. Bringing dope. Like a nurse.

I did it. We'll do business.

Tomorrow night. We don't get that much. 70.000 $. I tried, but couldn't get more.

But we do it. Tomorrow. I'll bring the money.

And then?

Then... I'm going home.

What about me?

You must go to your family. They got to help.

You have to get off of this shit.

You're my family.

No. I'll bring the money. Go to your family. They will help you. I can't.

I have to be alone.

I'm sorry.

You're city is beautiful. But much to small.

Small? It seems much bigger since you are here.

My brother Paolo. He's in Mexico. That's were I am going.

It's good to have someone to go to.

What?

I'll return right afterwards.

Wait!

What's that? - One has to do that.

It'll work out.

Beer?

So what? - Sorry, it's none of my business.

Should we go out sometime?

I'll wear something different. - Good idea. We'll do that.

We could share our experiences concerning marriage.

Mine were quite depressing though. - Doesn't matter if you tell it thrillingly.

Never tried that.

Try it. Tonight? - Got to work tonight.

Ok.

Tomorrow would be possible. - At the Espresso? 8 o'clock?

It's not for me by the way. - It's none of my business. See you.

It's me. Come now. You know the bridge over the danube?

Exactly.

Who is it?

It's me sweetheart.

Come on.

I need some dope.

I need some dope. - I don't have any.

We do business tonight.

Already tonight? - But I told you.

I'll come to you tomorrow. Please leave now.

Tomorrow I'll come and I have the money with me.

You come tomorrow? - Yes, I told you.

I'll come! - Tomorrow.

Fine.

You're bleeding.

Hello. Such a romantic spot. Quite a novelty.

He's clean. - All clean? Well that's bad.

Where's the stuff? - Nearby. Fine, so let's got there.

Money first.

The question of trust remains, right?

I call it the 'human factor'. It gets underestimated in economy.

I for example trust you just like that.

Give it to him.

Take it. Count it. Take your time.

Where did you get to know him?

He drove us. Picked us up at the club. You and me.

You went with him right away?

And I thought about all the different guys you get to know.

Thought about what connections you could find... it's the cab driver.

Do you sleep with him? - No.

Now I want to know where the stuff is. - Not here.

We do business. How often shall I repeat it?

You can't run away forever.

I thought it would be more bills.

800.000. - Money is always too less. You'll find out soon.

I hope you got the coke with you. And I hope it's a kilo.

I do. And it's a kilo.

Do you fuck him?

Then why does he do all he does? Explain.

Don't do that.

It's got to be pure as well or I might get a bit angry.

You know that I wouldn't harm you.

I would never harm you.

Very pure.

Look at that.

The best deals are those with everybody satisfied. Wisely done.

If you got some more just come to me.

It won't happen. - Don't say that.

Greet your girl. Do me the favor.

We did it. I can't believe it but it worked like a clockwork. Look at that!

We did it!

Did you see a ghost?

What's wrong? Are you out of your mind?

Fuck!

We can go.

Come on. Let's get it over with. The earlier the better.

Are you asleep?

We should go. There will be too many people around otherwise.

Are you leaving today? - Yes.

Then get your luggage. We take it right along.

When someone wants to go down no one can stop him, believe me.

Will you join me? We could leave together.

I can't even speak english.

I got to stay. And it's quite ok that way.

Let's split the money.

All done?

Don't forget to tell the police where to find him. - Of course.

This is for you. You've got to have music.

Maybe we meet again. Somewhere in the fucking world. - Maybe, who knows.

Take care of you! - You too!

I don't want to seem intrusive but we got a date young man.

I forgot completely. Please excuse.

Forgot it? Is there no better excuse? - Sadly not.

Not very charming. - Well, come in.

What's that music? - Mexican.

Beautiful.

Where did you get this? That's a lot.

Better not to ask.

What you're going to do with it?

We could go on holidays.

Shouldn't we get to know each other first?

We can abroad.

Where to?
