she couldn't see the knife clearly.

But everything else

she saw tonight was clear?

The body in the elevator shaft.

She saw that.

- What?

- What? What?

Sweet.

- It is fake blood.

- It's fake blood.

They could have soaked the sheets

in fake blood afterwards.

But where is the body?

Here you say, "A head cut off."

Wait. Wait.

She says...

Well, there were more bags

in there before.

No, she's right.

I will show you.

From lift shaft

we take the rubbish here.

Fast. Easy.

Hey, we need that.

Sorry, I can do nothing for you now.

But I will call you

after I see the film. Okay?

Sorry.

Well, I've never been more

embarrassed in my entire life.

I don't get it. I mean, Billy's a pro.

She'd know the difference

between a real murder and a gag.

Please, has she even seen

a real murder?

That's my point.

If what she saw tonight was real,

then she has seen the difference, right?

Oh, come on. We all bought the guy

cutting me up tonight. Even I believed it.

Because you're a wuss.

I'm gonna let that slide.

No offence, Billy, but I'd like to re-shoot

the stuff today using that guy's knife.

It was her knife. God!

Whatever. It looked good.

Shut up.

Buka!

Buka?

Buka.

Buka.

Please, Billy, take some of mine.

You'll feel better.

Okay.

Could you pass me the salt, please?

You could at least make the effort.

Listen...

...l'm sorry. All I can think about now is

the movie, but as soon as we get back...

...I promise, I'll learn.

- How often have I heard that?

Come on. I can understand

some of what she's saying.

What?

Okay, how about this?

- Means "makeup," right?

- Wrong.

It means somebody's look,

the expression on their face.

- That was close.

- Billy said...

...she'll never forget the look

on the girl's face...

...from the moment she knew

she was gonna die.

She said the pain

and the terror was real.

You can't act that.

Come closer, Mr. Hausmann.

I won't bite.

- Did it go smoothly?

- About the money...

- Did it go smoothly?

- Yes, of course. No problem.

Did it go smoothly, Mr. Hausmann?

- We did our job. The condition was...

- That everything would go smoothly.

Yes. Yes, and we have your diskette.

And who informed the police?

American girl say something,

but nobody believe her.

As long as there are witnesses,

there's no money.

You mean...?

I think we understand each other,

Mr. Hausmann.

You can come back to our place, and

we'll set up the couch if you want.

You're not on one of your "I'll show her

how independent I am" kicks, are you?

Honey, you coming or what?

- Andy, don't you care about her?

- I don't care? I don't care?

Fine. I'm calling the American

Embassy tonight, okay?

- It's the weekend. They're closed.
