Step up.

You look like a good sport.

- Thank you.

Good!

Another one.

- Oh, never mind.

Come on, who's next,

who's next, boys?

Come on. - champion.

- You, okay.

- Well, we can all live

in hope, can't we?

- Fox!

Watch this, this is

class in action.

- [Christine] The king at work.

- It's safe, brother, it's safe.

(crowd laughs)

what do you got, bricks

behind there or something?

Hey listen, babe, tell me,

what's the bullseye worth?

- A hell of a lot more than

what you've got, buddy.

- How do I know it'd be

worth that anyway, eh?

- It's just something you'll

never find out, mate.

(crowd laughs)

oh, oh shame.

- Wear it, moll!

- Why don't you try

the ghost train?

Okay, come on, who's next?

Roll up, boys, and

try your luck.

Any three aces wins a prize.

Oh, hello.

- Have a good night, Christine?

- Sure did.

- You're sure making a bit

out of this teasing

routine, aren't you?

- Jealous?

- Sure, of the money.

Now let's go and spend some, eh?

- Hey, you two, how about

coming to town for a rage?

(all laugh)

- [Christine] Not

in my work clothes.

- No.

(sparks buzzing)

(dramatic music)

(upbeat rock music)

(Walter singing in German)

- Freda, how much do

you know about Walter?

- Not much.

Keeps to himself

most of the time.

He just came in off the road

one day looking for work.

Mum hired him

because she reckons

Germans are better

workers than Aussies.

- God, she must be pretty

disappointed with you and John then!

- You're not wrong!

Interested in Walter, eh?

He sure is spunky.

- Just curious, that's all.

- Well, you'd do better with

him than that bum Gary.

- Gary's alright.

Anyway, if you reckon

Walter's so great,

why don't you make a

play for him yourself?

- Because, darling, he's

got the hots for you.

- [Lee] Hi, Chris, hi Freda.

- Hi, Lee.

Well, there's your lover boy.

- Bastard.

- They're all the same.

- Oh hi, Walter.

- He's come to cheer you up.

He likes you.

- Oh yeah, and how do you know?

- By the way he looks

at you, that's how.

- I look a bit of

a mess right now.

- You look something

quite special.

- Well, anyway, how do we

know this thing's a he?

- Because I made him.

- Really?

It's not bad, you know?

- It would've been better

if I made it in Germany.

The wood there is better.

- Germany sounds a neat place.

Mrs. Hoffman's told

me a lot about it.

- Not bad, you know?

Better organised than here.

- Well, that wouldn't be hard.

- You'd like Germany.

- Maybe, I'll never

know for sure, will I?

- Anything is possible.

♪And dance with them

♪ When the shine

of hope is near ♪

- What do you think this is?

- What does it look like?

- Where's my leather jacket?

- Take it and all

the other stuff

I was stupid enough to buy you.

And by the way, what did you

do with all that other stuff?

- [Gary] What are

you talking about?

What other stuff?

- [Christine] Do you

want a written list?

- [Gary] You smart bitch.

- [Christine] Yeah, I

suppose you pawned it

to try and impress

that old tart.

- Oh, you got cheek.

See that, that's real gold.

She's got class.

- So have I.

Oh fuck off!

- [Gary] Don't listen to her.

- Forget him, he's not worth it.

You deserve someone

better than that.

- Oh, I don't need anyone.

- Don't you?

- No, what I need is a drink.

I think it was his grandmother!

(all laughing)

- It probably was too.

- Or his sister.

- Yeah.

- Hey, girls, you wanna

make some easy money?

- Oh, piss off, you two.

We don't need it.

- Cheeky.

- That's not very friendly

of them, is it?

Maybe 100 bucks an hour

is above their league.

- Piss off.

- Hey, you don't want us to piss

off, do you sweetheart, eh?

- You heard what she

said, get lost.

- Woo.

- Phew.

You wouldn't like us to

go away, would you now?

Come on.

- Don't touch her.

- And what are you

gonna do about it, eh?

(punch thuds) (man groans)

- Alright, okay, okay,

we're going, all right?

- Yeah, and don't come back.

(dramatic music)

(Walter knocks)

- Hi, Christine.

- Hi, Walter, hot

enough for you?

- Yes, it is hot.

You can use my car

whenever you want.

- Oh, thanks Walter, but the

other guys let me use theirs.

- I don't want you to

use anything of theirs.

- Possessive, huh?

- You're too good for them.

- But not for you, Walter.

Do you want to own me?

- I want to treat

you like a lady.

- How do you know I want

to be treated like a lady?

C-H-R-I-s-T-I-N-E.

- You forgot to dot the Is.

(dramatic music)

(both speaking in German)

- okay, give it to me, come on.

- Remember who taught you.

- Ooh. (laughs)

(dramatic music)

(guests chattering)

(Walter speaking in German)

- Happy birthday.

(speaking in German)

- Happy birthday, Mum.

(crowd chattering)

- (laughs) Walter

wants to marry me!

- Walter wants to marry you?

- He said he wants to marry me.

(laughs)

Hey, Walter, come back.

Hey, Walt, can I come in?

Walter? What's all this for?

- I wanted this evening

to be special surprise.

- Oh, you're serious!

You mean you really meant it?

- I love you, Christine.

I want you to be my wife.

- [Christine] oh, you

must be kidding.

- I want to take you

away from all this.

- Why, I like it here.

Besides, I don't

want to get married.

Oh, hell - I was never a

daughter, I was a referee.

- [Woman] Hey, you two,

what's taking so long?

- I promise to be a good

husband and father.

- [Christine] Father?

- Yes, I want to have

children with you.

- Children? Christ,

that's just not my thing.

I want to have fun out of life.

- [Man] Come on!

- Won't be a sec.

- But I can give

you a better life.

- Look, being a wife

and mother doesn't fit

into the life I want.

Thanks anyway.

It's been a lot of fun, Walter,

why'd you have to spoil it?

- Don't go.

- What's that for?

shotgun wedding?

- Christine, I'm serious.

If you don't marry me,

I'II shoot myself.

- What's got into you, Walter?

Quit fooling around.

- Marry me, Christine.

- Put it down, Walter, and

stop acting like a loony.

- Don't leave. (gun clicking)

I mean it.

- I'm going back to the party.

- Christine!

(gunshot banging)

(siren blaring)

- Stop blaming yourself,

it's not your fault.

- How is he?

- He refuses surgery unless

you agree to marry him.

- She's only a child.

- I don't want to get married,

but I don't want

him to die either.

- Time is running out.

- Oh, I don't know.

I don't know.

- It would be a godly act

to grant him his last wish.

- [Nurse] Dr. Garbling,

please go to reception.

Sister Newton

wanted in ward six.

- It's alright, he will live, Mrs.

Mare sch.

- Mrs. Mare sch?

(horn honking)

(kids chattering) (horn honking)

Mum, how could you?

- Hm?

- These bills are

six months old.

(Walter clattering upstairs)

- So how long do we have

to put up with that then?

- It's not easy for

him either, Mum.

- When are you going through

with the annulment?

- I'm not.

I married the man, and I'm

gonna try and make it work.

Anyway, it's too late.

- What's that supposed to mean?

- I'm pregnant.

I'm gonna have the baby.

- That's a hell of a price

to pay for feeling guilty.

Do you love him?

- I'm trying.

- It'll be alright when I

get better, I promise.

- Thanks, Mum.

- By the way, Christine,

your grandparents

are sending over the baby's

presents at the weekend.

Are Walter's parents

sending over anything?

Are they, Walter?

- Knock it off, Mum.

- Well, I only asked.

Anyway, why doesn't he

ever talk about them?

Perhaps family life

doesn't appeal to Walter.

- It looks good, Walter.

- [Nurse] Nurse Collins,

please contact ward nine.

- You picked a name yet?

- Mhm, Amanda.

- [Nurse] Dr. Jones,

please go to reception.

(Freda speaking in German)

- Hello, Mandy

(speaking in German).

- Well, now say something

that I can understand.

- Hello, Mandy, I'm your father.

Now Mandy knows as

much German as you do.

- Another mouth to feed.

(biker squeals) (Amanda crying)

(both speaking in German)

(tool buzzing)

- Hey, kraut, knock off!

- Going after the

boss’s job, eh?

(both laugh)

(dramatic music)

- what's the matter?

- I don't feel like it, Walter.

- You never feel like it lately.

What's the matter?

Joining forces with your mother?

- Nothing is the matter,

Walter, it's okay.

- It's okay for whom?

- Please, Walter,

don't make a scene.

- A scene?

All I want to do is make love

with you as husband and wife.

- Alright, if that's

what you want.

- What are you trying to do

to me, Christine? Degrade me?

Don't you have any

feelings for me?

Don't you think I

have feelings too?

I'm not some damned animal.

- I'm not saying you are.

- You wanted me

before but not now.

What sort of a crazy

world are we living in?

- Oh shush, you'll wake Mandy.

- Do you love me or don't you?

- Oh, look, you know

why we got married.

- Well, my darling wife, if

you don't feel up to it.

(glass shattering)

we'd better turn off the light.

(glass shattering) -

Oh for Christ’s sakes,

Walter, it can't last

any longer like this.

(horn honking)

where'd you get it?

Who's is it?

- Yours.

For a day.

(upbeat music)

(horn honking)

- You know, I used to come

up here as a kid sometimes.

Oh, it was good to be above

the mills for a change.

Better than down

there eating it.

I promised myself I'd get

away from this place one day,

but I'm still here.

- I'll take you to Germany.

There are people there

who share my dream

for a better life

for our children.

And I want you to

be a part of it.

These Australians have

no sense of purpose.

No pride in their work or

love for their country.

You don't belong here.

- So how do I get out?

- I'm working on it.

- [Reporter] Fire brigades

from every station within

a radius of 30 miles battled

the inferno for over six hours

before finally bringing

it under control.

Seven firemen were treated

for smoke inhalation

and exhaustion.

While the blaze, spurred on

by exploding gas pockets--

- Hey, Walter, isn't

that where you work?

- Looks like it.

- Does that mean you're

out of a job again?

- There are plenty of

better jobs in Germany.

- Germany?

- I've been offered

a job in Munich.

We leave Saturday.

- Oh, that's great.

- [Reporter] Raised

solely by public support.

The lord mayor publicly praised

those community-minded people

who gave so generously

for the job of their

fellow citizens.

Three people were injured

when two cars collided

on the city bypass today.

One car overturned on impact

and rolled down an embankment,

trapping the two occupants.

(both speaking in German)

cheers.

- Cheers.

- Let's go, my dear,

and we're gonna fly.

- [Host] After the

first round in which

Mr. Binks had the misfortune

to misplay his turn,

it is Miss Templeton 900, Mr.

Binks four

- can't go yet.

- What do you mean yet?

- I'm pregnant.

- Pregnant?

Well, that's great.

Yeah, great.

When did you find out?

- Christine, you're missing

your favourite program.

- I got the results back today.

- Come on, Christine,

it's Hogan's quiz show.

- So we shall have our

baby born in Germany.

- Walter, I'm having

an abortion next week.

- An abortion without asking me?

- [Mum] what are you two

talking about in there?

- Walter, I don't want

another child, not now.

- Turn that bloody thing down!

- What did you say, Walter?

- Christine, you can have

an abortion in Germany.

- [Host] I'd say this

is anybody's game.

- I said turn that

bloody crap down!

- It's all been arranged.

Is a couple of days

going to matter?

- Yes, Christine, it does.

We're already

booked on a flight.

Besides, we have the

best clinics in Germany.

- [Host] He's getting

on the table?

He's getting on the table.

- We'll take care of it there.

- [Host] He said three,

two, two, two, one!

- How Can you watch this crap?

(glass shattering)

- [Christine] what happened?

- My TV.

- You're a mess.

Look at the filth you live in.

- How dare you speak to

me like that in my house.

- And what a house.

No wonder your old

man pissed off.

- Stop all this.

(Amanda crying)

- Christine, we are

leaving here now.

- [Christine] But Walter...

- Christine, how can

you go with him

after all I've done for you?

- After all you've done for me?

Oh listen, Mum, I'm gonna make

a go of it, not like you.

You never tried to keep

it together, but at least

I'm trying because my

daughter deserves that much.

- If you leave with him,

don't ever come back.

(dramatic music)

(tranquil piano music)

- Mandy, you see?

There's lots to see outside.

Oh, that's the zeppelin field.

(Walter speaking in German)

can you hear it?

- Hear what?

- Listen.

- What is it, Walter?

- The heartbeat.

(singing in German)

- Heil, heil, heil, heil,

heil, heil, hiel, heil!

Heil, heil, heil, heil,

heil, heil, hiel, heil!

Heil, heil, heil, heil,

heil, heil, hiel, heil!

- You should've stood up.

- For that crazy loon?

- Shut up.

You embarrassed me in front

of all those people.

- Are these the loonies you

stay out with all night?

Where do you go on these

mystery tours of yours?

- You don't understand yet.

- Oh, you bet I don't

understand, like a family

that lives together that doesn't

even talk to each other.

- Keep your voice down

or you'll ruin my plans.

- The new life you promised?

- Yes.

- oh, Walter, what the hell

is going on?

And for the umpteenth time what

are you gonna do about this?

- I told you, I am arranging it.

(lively brass music)

(all speaking in German)

- Mandy, have some.

Yummy.

- Yuck.

(Heidi coughing)

(Walter and Heidi

speaking in German)

- come on, say hello

to Auntie Heidi.

She's your only auntie,

so be nice to her.

- Hello, hello!

You must forgive my English

because it's not so good.

- No, it's great,

it's really good.

- You want to go

back to mummy, huh?

- Yeah.

- Yeah, do you, alright.

- Come on, Mandy.

(Walter speaking in German)

- What'd you say?

- I said the next

one will be a son.

- And what the hell

do you mean by that?

Walter?

Mandy, look, it's Daddy's toys.

- Daddy's toys.

(gunshots banging)

(men shouting in German)

(mournful music)

(dramatic music)

- Mandy.

- Look, Mummy.

- show Mummy your toy.

- It's Daddy's.

- Gimme your toy, love.

Okay.

- [Walter] Been prying again?

- Get this out of here.

Please, Walter, take it away.

Are you crazy, Walter?

- You think I'm crazy?

It's the world that's

crazy, not me.

It's the cure for

a sick society.

But I'm going to save

you from all that.

Soon we'll be living in a

special village where a

secret army is training for the

day we'll take back Germany.

But first, I must prove myself.

Relax, it's only a dummy.

- Oh, you stupid,

raving bastard.

Did you enjoy scaring

the shit out of me?

- Soon you will learn

not to be afraid.

These will be Mandy's

toys and my sons.

- Oh no, not my kid.

- Abortions are no

longer legal in Germany.

- What?

- [Walter] There will never

be abortions in my family.

- But you promised

me, you said--

- I want a son.

- You bloody liar, you bastard!

All that crap about

German clinics.

Why didn't you tell

me in Australia?

- Would you have

come to Germany?

- Look at the cars.

Look at them.

(crowd chattering)

- Heidi, I don't

know anybody here.

- I'm the only person my

brother has ever trusted.

- Well, you must know

where I could go.

Oh please, I've got no

one else to turn to.

- And he will know I helped you.

You have to go to Holland, okay?

- Oh, anywhere.

(horn honking)

- Hello.

Ready?

(dramatic music)

when Walter was

17, Hans used him

in a bank robbery for

the neo-Nazi party.

Afterwards, Hans bragged about

it and they arrested them.

At the trial, our mother

pleaded for Walter,

saying he was just a boy and did

not know what he was doing.

Walter yelled at her to shut

up and not to disgrace him.

He spent four years

in jail over that.

(Heidi and nurse

speaking in German)

(doctor and nurse

speaking in German)

(dramatic music)

(Christine breathing heavily)

(lively carnival music)

- Amanda.

No, no!

- You killed my son!

It was a boy, wasn't it?

- [Christine] where's Mandy?

(blow thudding)

- If you’ve already

killed one child,

how can I trust you with Mandy?

- Please, Walter,

I need a doctor.

It hurts so much.

- It's your fault.

- Mandy.

- [Walter] You'll have to

suffer the consequences.

- Mandy.

Please, somebody help me!

(Christine crying)

Walter, help!

Help me!

(nurse speaking in Dutch)

(monitor beeping)

(Christine retching)

- Him, he stole my Mandy.

He's a criminal!

(man speaking in Dutch)

- He's gonna rob a bank!

(nurse speaking in Dutch)

- He's gonna rob a bank!

He's a Nazi, don't

you understand?

He's got grenades!

(speaking in German) He's

gonna blow everybody up!

Don't you understand me?

(all speaking in German)

- oh, he stole my Mandy!

(speaking in German)

- You understand, right?

You speak English?

He stole my Mandy.

- Go. (watch ticking)

(dramatic music)

Go through.

28 seconds.

45 seconds.

62 seconds exactly.

You are ruining my plans.

- Walter.

- [Walter] Don't you understand?

They say you are a risk.

- Where's Mandy?

- [Walter] If you cooperate,

you shall have Mandy back.

If you don't, you will

stay here forever.

- I'll do anything,

anything to get Mandy back.

Please.

- [Walter] Good, I'll arrange

to get you out of here.

- Walter!

(door thuds)

- Don't forget

anything I told you.

Your life will depend on

it, do you understand?

Do you understand?

Keep your back to the

wall, never to a window.

When you move your weapon,

move it abruptly so it

seems you mean business.

Watch their eyes.

You'll know if they’re

planning to get smart.

When you leave the bank,

turn back suddenly

as if you’re going

to let them have it.

They'll hit the

floor like flies.

This will give you extra time.

Ready?

(Walter knocks)

The door.

Okay, you grab it here.

You hold tight there

because it kicks up.

To cock, you pull once.

Okay, come on.

Remember, Christine,

count to 45 and get out.

The cops will arrive

in 62 seconds exactly,

and they shoot to kill.

Come on, let's go.

Stupid.

(speaking in German) -

Five, six, seven, eight.

Nine, 10, 11, 12,

13, 14, 15, 16.

(speaking in German)

shut up.

- Mandy.

17, 13, 19, 20, 21, 22.

- Mommy, Mommy!

- 23, 24, 25, 26, 27.

- Pretty Mandy...

- 23, 29.

- Pretty Mandy...

- 30, 31, 32, 33.

34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40.

(speaking in German)

- 41, 42, 43, 44.

Come on, it's time!

- Come on.

(speaking in German) -

Let's get out of here!

(Walter singing)

(sirens blaring)

(speaking in German)

- I knew you could

do it, I knew it.

- Why weren't you in there?

Why did you stay outside?

- They didn't believe you could

do it, but we showed them.

- I wasn't meant to

come through, was I?

- [Walter] Now we

show the world.

- That idiot you

sent me in with.

- Now you're one of us.

- What?

- They can't refuse us now.

- Get in.

(Heidi crying)

(dramatic music)

- what if they’ve

double-crossed us?

- Shut up.

(crowd chattering in

foreign language)

(horn honking)

Put it out.

I don't fancy Turkish prison.

- Don't worry,

everything is just fine.

(glass shattering)

(horn honking)

- what was all that about?

- Quiet.

(speaking in foreign language)

Come on, come on.

(speaking in foreign language)

I wish to apologise for that

uncivil and barbaric attack

by my poor countrymen.

You don't want to go to Iran.

They are pigs who will rob you.

I would like you to be

my guests at my home.

- Get in.

- I'll give you $10,000

and two of my sons

for that woman and child.

- My wife and daughter

are not for sale.

(speaking in foreign language)

- You offer an insult to

refuse such a generous offer.

I want the woman.

- Go, Walter!

- I want the woman.

- Go!

- Give me the woman

or I'll kill you.

(Amanda crying)

(glass shattering)

- Christine, Mandy!

(men shouting)

Look out!

Grab the bag.

Get him!

(glass shattering)

(Christine screaming)

(speaking in foreign language)

- Christine! (Christine screams)

(glass shattering)

- Walter, look out!

(Walter shouts)

(glass shattering)

(Christine screams)

(speaking in foreign language)

- Walter, help me!

(Amanda crying)

(Walter shouts)

(man shouts) (Christine shouts)

(speaking in foreign language)

(man screams)

(speaking in foreign

language) (Christine shouts)

(flames roaring)

- Blast it!

- Break his hands, grab him!

Get him off!

Break his hands.

(speaking in foreign language)

(explosion booming)

- [Christine] Get him

off me, get him off!

- [Walter] Mandy!

- Pig!

- [Walter] Where's Mandy?

Christine, where's Mandy?

- She cannot enter

Iran, she has no visa.

- What do you mean no visa?

She’s Australian, she

doesn't need a visa.

- She cannot enter,

that's final.

- What?

- Well, what are

we supposed to do?

- She must go back to Istanbul

and apply for the visa

or stay here.

- Istanbul, are you crazy?

We can't go back there.

They would recognise

and kill us.

- That is not my problem.

She cannot enter.

You two German citizens,

you may enter.

Your passports are in order.

- Okay, Walter, let's go.

Leave her.

(dramatic music)

Have you gone mad, Walter?

They will kill you.

(speaking in foreign language)

no woman is worth that much.

- I want to go home.

I can't take any more, Walter.

- It will take my people several

weeks to fix my papers.

If I let you go now, you

better stay at the Hoffmans'

where I can contact you.

- [Christine] okay.

- How do I know you'll be there?

- Because I said so.

Well, there's

nowhere else to go.

- Don't try anything funny.

You robbed the bank, not me.

If they find out, you'll

be sent back to Germany.

And you wouldn't like

that, would you?

- No.

- We will put the past

behind us, Christine,

and start a new life together.

(crowd chattering)

- Freda!

(Christine crying)

well, after that worm Wolfgang

ditched us at the border,

some American guy picked us up

and took us to some dingy

hotel in Istanbul.

I just couldn't take

anymore, you know?

I'd had enough.

That's when he relented

and let me come home.

And that's it.

Believe me, it's

great to be back.

- What are you going to do?

- I don't know.

I feel I owe him my life.

Maybe I should just run.

(Christine gasps)

- Guess who?

- I wasn't expecting

you so soon.

- I wanted to surprise you.

I couldn't wait to

be with you both.

Have you told anybody

about Germany?

- Nothing important.

- [Walter] Not even Freda?

- No.

- Good.

- Freda's been great, you know?

She won't take any

money for the caravan.

- I'll take no charity.

We'll show them.

- What do you mean?

- We will work together.

- [Christine] Together?

- Yes, just like

we did in Germany.

The perfect team.

Tell me how to turn you on.

Shit, cops.

Open your mouth, and

I'll blow your head off.

(officer knocking) -

Hello, anybody at home?

Hello, anybody in there?

Excuse me, Miss, is this lot 24?

- I don't know.

- Are you the owner

of the caravan?

- Yeah.

- I read your ad.

I'm interested in

buying the caravan.

Are you alright, lady?

- Yeah, I'm fine.

- Is it all right to

have a look inside?

- No, no, please it's

not the best time.

- Sorry, I didn't mean

to invade your privacy.

- Why don't you call back later?

- Oh, I'll call back later then.

- Why didn't you give him

a written invitation?

- Drop dead.

- Bloody Freda.

You told her about

Germany, didn't you?

Didn't you?

(Christine crying)

Relax, it's a safehouse

where nobody will find us.

Don't worry, she's involved.

She's one of us.

(dramatic music)

(phone ringing)

- Hello, who is it?

- Mum, Mum, please help me.

Walter's gone crazy.

- You're married to Walt.

- I just can't trust you

anymore, can I Christine?

(smack cracking)

Don't ever try that again.

You were running out on me.

- Yes, you lied to me.

- I've planned the

perfect job for us.

- Oh no, I'm not gonna

rob any more banks.

No more, Walter.

- You're my wife, it is

your duty to obey me.

- Your wife, and who's

bloody idea was that?

(smack cracking)

- I could kill you

any time I want

and nobody would know or

care, not even your family.

So you better do as I

say just like before.

It's not a dummy this time.

If you don't do as I say, I

blow up a school or a hospital

or even Freda's place.

And you will be responsible

for those deaths.

(wick hissing)

You will be a murderess, how

do you feel about that?

- Stop it, stop it!

(speaking in foreign language)

- Take this for Daddy.

- Don't take it, Mandy.

- We're going for a

long ride, Mandy,

and this will make sure

you don't get sick.

Take it, take it.

Have some water.

There, that wasn't

too bad, was it?

Don't listen to your mother.

- Maybe if I take a walk around

the block, I'll feel better.

- We've already

been around twice.

- Just once more.

- That's enough, Christine.

- [Christine] I can't

go through with it.

- Either we stick together

or we die together.

Your choice.

Don't get any ideas about

shooting me in the back.

It's not loaded.

(dramatic music)

Hands up, higher.

Back from the counter.

You, you, you, lay on

the floor face up.

Fill the bag.

Quicker.

Anybody follow us and

I shoot to kill.

(gunshot banging)

(woman screams)

In this one, they write how

cool and calm you were.

The party will see that

I was right about you.

- Forget the bloody war, Walter.

- Forget it?

It's only just starting.

That doesn't have to be the

only thing we do well together.

Does this turn you on?

- No, it doesn't, Walter.

- But I want a son.

- [Christine] I said no!

- [Walter] You will!

- [Christine] Get off me!

- [Walter] You'll

do what I tell you!

You are my wife! - stop it!

- [Walter] You will do it.

- [Christine] stop it!

- [Walter] You liked doing

it with Gary, did you?

- [Christine] No!

- [Walter] And all

those other men?

- [Christine] No, no!

- You are my wife,

you must obey me.

(glass shattering)

(singing in foreign language)

Come on and join us.

Something the matter, Christine?

- No, everything's fine.

I'm just gonna go and

make some coffee.

- Is this what

you're looking for?

- I'm not taking any more

of your abuse, Walter.

- You will do what I tell you.

- No, I'm not staying

with you a minute longer.

- I'll kill us all if I have to.

And if you don't stay with me,

you will stay with no one.

Do you hear?

Remember Turkey.

I cut the Turk's throat

to save you and Mandy.

You owe me your lives.

I own them now.

- I'd rather die

than live like this!

- Christine.

(gunshot banging)

(Amanda crying)

- oh no, Walter, no more.

- Walter.

- [Amanda] Mummy!

- [Christine] I

can't take anymore.

- Mummy!

- what am I supposed

to do with you now?

- This woman has made you crazy.

- [Amanda] Mummy!

- Yeah, crazy.

You are a danger to the

party (speaking in German)

- we don't need you.

We'll do it by ourselves.

We'll show you.

- [Christine] No more.

- We'll show everybody.
