Pity.

What would you like? - Meat loaf with egg.

Meat loaf with egg. And for you?

Oh, dear.

A rump steak. - One rump steak.

Anything to drink? - Two beers.

Thank you.

Wouldn't you like something better? - No.

Meat loaf with egg.

Who?

Marian?

Hi.

lt's me, Franz.

Yeah.

Doesn't matter.

Yeah. l'm eating out with Johanna.

Good work in Paderborn.

Bruno's dead. - l know.

We ate snails.

Thirteen, please.

Put it on 1 7.

The Gorilla?

He's hiding out some place.

And why?

Tell me why.

He's out.

l've won.

Three, black.

Good morning.

Go investigate the case in Landsberg.

That's true.

Even so -

Take a seat.

Have you tried Johanna Reiher again? - No.

- Well? - Her guy is out of jail again.

- l know. What about him? - l just thought -

Do you know her?

Aulaulu, Carla. Peddler.

Born November 1 2, 1 943, in Kronstadt.

She has a record for pornography.

She knows everything that's going on.

She phoned. lt's not possible.

Johanna Reiher's guy. This Franz -

- Walsch. - That's right.

He was a friend of his.

Try this Carla Aulaulu woman.

Try Johanna Reiher

and this Franz Walsch.

A guy like that can't just vanish. He'd be conspicuous anywhere.

My God. l said Marian Walsch.

Yeah.

Franz...

l don't want to anymore.

For what?

Nothing. No.

Yesterday?

Maybe, but that's all over.

What should we do at her place?

Have it your way.

What time?

- Hey, you! - What?

Come here, please.

You still haven't shown me your lD card, Mr. -

Franz Biberkopf.

lt's upstairs now,

my lD card.

Good.

But yesterday l gave you a bill for the week.

lt has to be paid.

Don't worry. l'll pay.

Do l look like someone who wouldn't pay?

Well, judging by your luggage -

Stop, or l'll call the police!

l was at the grave.

Oh, God. The coffee. l'll make you some coffee.

My son.

l've bought a new record. l'll play it for you.

Like it?

My boy.

Do you need money?

l have enough.

Mom, what's Uncle Franz doing over there?

- Give me my suitcase! - You're crazy.

Get out of here.

Come here.

Marian hasn't been here for three days.

l don't know why l'm so unhappy.

lt's because of what happened in the past, l'm sure.

My uncle's to blame.

He abused me.

lt was terrible.

l was a nervous wreck at the time.

When a girl is alone in the big city -

You know what l mean.

And then there was your brother.

l was so young.

He was my uncle.

l was brought up like that.

Your brother doesn't have lovely skin like you do.

All l'm concerned with is the Gorilla.

The bill.

You've got to help us.

l'll give you my phone number.

My private one, of course.

Carla.

Officer.

Shall l introduce you?

No need. We know each other.

l've got some new magazines with new positions and so on.

Want to see?

No, thanks. The last ones were no good.

- You wanted to pay? - Yes.

4.70 marks.

- Keep the change. - Thanks.

Bye.

Don't forget about me.

Where is he?

Here.

Do you like it? - No, but l'll buy it.

Three hundred.

l have to make a living too.

Okay.

Well?

He lives with a Magdalena Fuller.

Yes?

He gave her his number.

Just because of those few days? That's ridiculous.

Someone from the police was here yesterday too.

You might at least have told me.

You know he belongs to me.

He prefers blondes.

Everyone knows that.

l'm sorry, my dear. Forgive me.

Three hundred.

l don't have that much.

Okay. l'll make it cheaper for you. How much do you have?

A hundred.

Okay, a hundred, then.

l'm looking for the Gorilla.

The Gorilla? Do you want to pull a job?

That's my business, not yours.

Dreimuhlenstrasse 31 .

Calls himself Schondorf or Schlondorf.

Thanks.

Come to my place.

lt was his brother. l'm sure of it.

There's more to this than meets the eye.

And what have you found out?

Me?

Well, nothing.

Absolutely nothing.

We must use different methods.

Tougher ones.

Drastic measures are needed.

l want to see results from you.

l know.

- Can l help you? - Where's your personnel office?

Room 21 8, second floor.

The elevator's on the right.

What are you doing now?

l'm getting up.

Why?

l have to go to work.

Stay here.

And what about my work?

To hell with it.

l'll lose my job.

What'll l do then?

l have to send my mother something every month.

We could go for a walk.

You're sweet.

AII creatures, great and smaII, gathered for a grand masked baII

The turtIe from a turtIe race pIayed trumpet at a hurtIing pace

The chameIeon, chameIeon puffed on a buIky bombardon

And aII the Iice, the IittIe Iice, they made a noise that wasn't nice

The bumbIebees, the bumbIebees banged on bombastic tympanies

The eeI, the eeI performed a sIithering reeI

The Ieopard, with a spotted scarf, was waiting for his better haIf

The fIamingo, the fIamingo was Iooking for some pIace to go

The muIe, the stubborn muIe was sprawIing in a vast fauteuiI

The water's mirror showed the swan that he was Iooking rather wan

And the hippo, hippopotamus behaved badIy Iike a Iot of us

The pig, who wasn't very fine -

Do you want some ravioli?

The buffaIo, the buffaIo bawIs to the goose a gruff ''HeIIo!"

WhiIe the spotted saIamander sIides down to the veranda

The fIy, the fIy stands outside in the pantry

A parrot who couId count to three squawked ''Pretty PoIIy" constantIy

The storks, the storks were camoufIaged as hawks

The woIves, a pack of tweIve, had sheepishIy disguised themseIves

The bugs, even the IittIe bug, began to dance a jitterbug

And when it danced, the eagIe did something very regaI

The fIeas, the fIeas hopped in the air with ease

Then suddenIy the haII was stiII They aII sat down to eat their fiII

The raven and the stork ate soup with just a fork

The giraffe, the giraffe ate chocoIate wafers with cafe

- Like a schnapps? - Yes.

And the serpent, for a change, tried to eat a bIood orange

The Iizard, oh, the Iizard had pork crackIing in its gizzard

The gnu, the gnu had eaten quite enough, he knew

The aurochs, who was soon repIete, asked who wouId Iike the rest to eat

The dromedary chewed at Iength on caviar to give him strength

The snipe was but a snipe though cIearIy not a guttersnipe

The IIama, the IIama finished off with a banana

That this was just a nonsense song, was something we knew aII aIong

Stop a moment.

You must help us.

You have to, understand?

l know nothing. Leave me alone!

Otherwise you'll be an accomplice to murder.

He killed his brother.

Marian?

Not so rough.

A King Ludwig.

A handsome man.

Yeah.

Twenty marks.

Twenty?

lt's the last one.

Hey, don't walk so fast.

Well, what do you say now?

Hello, there.

lt's crazy.

Crazy.

ls that yours? - You bet.

Let's pay Jo a visit.

Come on.

l obtained a loan...

because l have a steady job.

So what?

We've nearly spent all of it.

Life is expensive.

Was that you with Marian?

Yes.

ls there something l don't know?

A joke between men.

Why do they call you the ''Gorilla''?

Because l'm big and strong, and everyone has to have a name.

He sang.

lt was an order.

Were you together with Johanna while l was away?

Yes.

l love you.

- Marie Luise? - Jo!

Franzl!

- This is Gunther. - Hello, Gunther.

Hello.

- This is Margarethe. - Your girlfriend?

May l give her a kiss? - Sure.

Crazy!

- ls that yours? - Yes.

Was it bad?

- How are things with you? - Fine.

Well.

My boy, how are you?

Why? lt couldn't be simpler.

l'm doing fine, honestly.

l have a wife,

a house,

and...

Marie Luise's expecting a baby.

Getting old, huh?

- Come on. - Well, aren't you?

Sure he's getting old. Just look at him.

Oh, my.

Okay, let's get moving.

Come on.

Bye.

Good-bye.

Bye.

Bye, Jo.

Take care.

How much is this magazine?

Twenty marks.

Okay, l'll take it.

Here.

l have to know what's going on.

Don't you want to see which one you like?

l must go to work! l've no time!

Sorry. l didn't mean to shout.

l'm just so desperate.

l have to know what's going on.

Oh, God. l just go on talking.

He's planning a holdup in a supermarket

with the Gorilla and his old friend Jo.

Which supermarket? Do you know?

The one in Mullerstrasse. The owner's name is Martin.

He knows him from the old days.

Satisfied now?

We could run a newspaper agency...

subscriptions and that sort of thing.

- Should we call it off? - Yes.

Then we'll always be together.

Shit. There's nothing to be earned in that.

And if we were to start a business?

A delicatessen or something?

- ''Would you like a little more?'' - ''Seen our special offer?''

You're not being serious.

We'll go south.

To Greece.

You need money for that.

Help me, will you?

We don't need no money.

Because we love each other.

That's right.

You two are strange.

We'll go to an island and live from fishing...

and hunting.

And the sun will shine...

and it will never rain...

And we'll eat crabs...

and drink wine.

Why not?

What?

l said, ''Why not?''

Because it's too expensive.

Why too expensive?

lt's just too expensive.

l know what he's planning.

He wants to hold up a supermarket today...

in Mullerstrasse.

Can't you shoot him in the act?

Please.

Please.

Well, then?

l don't know.

Well, l do.

We need money.

You can't simply say, ''We need money''...

as if it were so easy to get money.

We'll do a raid.

ls there no other way?

No.

l could earn money

with men or whatever.

What do you mean?

For you, Franz.

Franz. Go round there.

- Hi. - How are things?

You've got to stop him. Don't let him do it.

Please!

Don't hurt him. You mustn't condemn him.

He's so dear.

Please!

You swine! You're all swine!

You still owe me ten pfennigs.

What a hysterical creature.

What are you up to these days?

This and that.

What does that mean?

Well, this and that.

- Are you still with Johanna? - No.

- Where do you come from? - Bavaria.

What?

Don't touch.

What do they pay you here?

Enough.

Hey, what's going on?

Stick with what you know.

Who did you blab to, darling?

l needed the money.

l have to be beautiful for others.

l need it.

l need it!

Come on!

Talk!

Johanna Reiher.

We herewith commit your body, Franz Walsch,

to consecrated earth.

For from dust you come...

and to dust you shall return.

May the Day of Judgment hold no horrors for you.

Therefore, let us pray for his poor soul,

that it may be cleansed in purgatory.

For the sake of our Lord Jesus Christ,

who leads the lost sheep back to the way of God

and cleanses us of all our sins.

Amen.

l loved him so much.
