Sonny? Sonny?

Come on. Sanne!

- Sanne, come here!

- Yes. Relax.

Come, come, come.

Sanne, come on!

Sonny. Sonny.

- Sanne!

- Yes. Calm down.

Try and take him up. Check whether he is breathing.

Of course, he's breathing.

- What the hell, man ?!

- Is he breathing?

- What the hell have you done?

- Check if he is breathing.

He draws breath?

Check if he's breathing.

What the hell?

You f***ing killed him.

F***!

F***, f***, f***.

We are going to jail.

We are both going to jail.

It's f***ing lie.

F***, f***. F***! F***!

Sh.

It is not fair.

It is not right that we get to

lose Alexander, and they get to destroy him.

You can't

lose a child, Anna.

I lost him.

Alexander is still dead.

Right?

You said,

that you would kill yourself. No?

You said,

that you would kill yourself.

When I met you, you said -

- That the only thing you ever wanted,

was to have a child.

He's ours now.

Simon?

I need your help.

Call as soon as you hear my message.

Hello, Simon.

Hello.

Everything is fine.

- What do you mean?

- The message that you've left.

You sounded

as if you've seen a ghost.

I was just ...

Everything's all right now.

Are you sure?

Is Anna okay? Alexander?

Yes, yes. Anna is doing fine.

Should I just come over?

Sonny is not dead!

- What are you doing?

- He is not dead!

- Shut up, shut up.

- Sonny is not dead!

Shut up.

Shut up.

Do you hear what I say?

If you shout again,

I'll cut your throat.

Do you hear what I say?

Yes, it is good. It's good. So.

- It is not Sonny.

- Keep your f***ing mouth shut.

They seem different,

when they are dead, man!

- It's Sonny!

- Listen.

I won't go back.

I'm not going back and do time

because of you. Do you understand?

We have to do something.

I have a plan, okay?

And we follow through with it.

Trust me, baby. Okay.

Let him go now. Let him go.

Come on, baby. Come, come.

That's great, honey.

Huh?

- What was that?

- They haven't reported it yet.

- Why not?

- Because they just don't care.

They are safe and sound.

- Someone will find out.

- There's nothing to find out.

They will never suspect us.

Come here. Here.

It is no crime. It would

it be if Tristan have smashed him.

We're going to save him.

I know it's hard to see that now.

We do something.

Oh, damn.

- Hello, Simon.

- Hello.

- May I come in?

- No. Lets just go out.

- You sounded strange on the phone.

- Everything is fine.

- I can see that it's not.

- Go now.

I won't go anywhere. You look like sh*t.

It is Anna.

She is not feeling well.

I have to go back to her, okay?

We'll see.

- Let me know if there's anything.

- Yes, yes.

Did you say that there was something wrong with me?

Why the hell
