of a totally new surveillance method that

will save on personnel and other costs.

For example, I had...

- The client has cancelled the contract.

Perhaps I can explain

this one example to you.

The electric alarm fence, for example.

You know, if alarm system 16 existed...

The client has cancelled

the contract.

He isn't interested in our continued

supervision of the object.

Maybe you will permit me to explain

what I mean here, sir.

I have begun in halls B and F to...

- Mr. Schmutz, don't make such a fuss!

I'm telling you, the

matter is settled.

It's pointless. Security Zone 12

doesn't exist anymore.

As of right now!

Is that clear?

I've made everything clear, right?

You want to put me to the test,

right? How seriously I take my job.

You don't have to worry. The

matter is in good hands with me.

Man, pull yourself together! You

don't have to worry about your job.

For now, just take the vacation you

still have banked from last year.

And by the time you're back there

will be at least five new offers,

where you can continue to test

your system. I'm in favour of it.

We'll talk about it when

the time comes, OK?

But now, pack all your stuff together

and bring it by tomorrow.

And therewith the matter

is settled, OK?

You can't be serious.

You're not taking this chance

away from me.

I have devoted my life to this.

You're not God. You don't tell me

to stop and go as you please.

You gave me a contract on

July 16th at 11:
46 p.m.

You should take your job as

seriously as I take mine!

You were entrusted with leadership!

You can't just simply elevate

people and destroy them!

Give me your service weapon.

No.

Please...

Please, sir. Please understand.

Listen to me for one moment.

You could make the client

a totally new offer.

If you want, I will forgo

part of my salary.

Then you would only have to pay half

a salary for two people.

The result would be a new calculation of

personnel costs, and would surely

be attractive for the client.

- Shut your mouth, you idiot!

You are fired.

Just be happy that I don't have

you put into a mental hospital.

Oh yes, I almost forgot.

Your vacation pay. Pick up

your severance tomorrow.

And then I never want

to see you again.

Goodbye.

SCHEDULED AISLE B

SCHEDULED AISLE R

Hello?

Speaking. Security Zone 12. Schmutz.

Yes, hello.

Yes.

I haven't yet, no. No. It's

all still at the old place.

I understand.

It has rectified itself.

That's right.

Okay.

Alone? Not at all. For God's sake,

that doesn't matter.

That's why I'm here.

Yes.

Will do. Of course!

No, you don't have to. You

can rely on me.

As usual. Naturally.

Very well. Goodbye for now.
