THE ROBBER
The big question:
What are your plans?
Do you have any goals for afterwards?
I'll take things as they come.
Are you happy to be getting out?
Sure.
That's good. Not everybody is.
It even scares some people.
What are you looking forward to?
Not running in circles anymore.
Early on you tried to escape twice.
That wasn?t just to commit another robbery,
was it?
You won't find the freedom
you're looking for here,
no matter how long you run
around the courtyard.
And you won't find it outside either...
if you don't work for it.
You won't make much money running.
What do you think?
What do I think?
I haven't needed help for six years,
I don't need any now.
OK, this is your room. The bath is in back.
Rent's due in advance every week.
You replace anything you break.
No loud music, no trouble,
or I'll have to come up.
This opens the front door too.
Lose it, and you pay 700 euros.
Understand?
This is a robbery, let's go!
On your knees, on your knees!
You there.
Put the money in the bags.
And we'll all stay nice and calm.
Faster!
Give me the bag.
I picked out some companies for you,
they all have experience with ex-cons.
You can call them,
they know what's up.
Don't wait too long,
they aren't waiting for you,
as you can imagine.
I'I bring you some more forms,
they're important,
and then we'll see what has to be done.
Please fill this out,
there are tables outside.
Mail the birth certificate
so you won't have to come back.
Thanks, that's nice of you.
- My pleasure.
You're all grown up.
And you, back in the free word?
Say it.
You look tired.
It wasn?t much of a vacation.
What are you doing now?
Training.
You're running again?
I never stopped.
Erika, can you take this gentleman?
I have to run upstairs.
Thanks.
I have work to do.
Can you come to me, please?
OK, that's everything.
Call me after you talk to one of them
and tell me what happened.
Thanks. Goodbye.
- Bye.
Bye.
His basic stamina's extremely stable,
which indicates good fatty-acid metabolism.
If you do some speed runs,
build-ups, long and short intervals,
your anaerobic level
will go up a little more.
Not many runners will beat you after that.
The 25th Vienna City Marathon has begun.
...and the pursuers are close behind,
trying not to fall back.
We can see that, the effort...
...the unknown runner, number 8950,
that's Johann Rettenberger,
...the runners who fell behind.
And no one expected he would be in front,
There he is,
the best Austrian runner!
Ladies and gentlemen, number 8950,
Johann Rettenberger, for Austria.
He set a fantastic new national record
here in Vienna,
The prizes are substantial,
5,000 euros for the record,
and 10,000 euros for the best first-timer.
Congratulations to the marathon organizers,
congratulations to Johann Rettenberger,
we'll have to remember that name.
He started way in back,
with the amateurs,
and left almost all the top Europeans behind,
moving right up to the front.
Over 30,000 runners from around the world...
took part in the 25th Vienna City Marathon.
As we've learned, Johann Rettenberger,
who unexpectedly set
a new national record here,
at Stein Prison.
Until recently this native of Lower Austria
