and a tremendous explosion.

Our reporters spoke of

war-like destruction.

- Where is she?

- I don't know.

- What?

- I don't know where she is.

I know she's alive.

I know who's with her.

- But I have no f***ing idea where she is.

- I thought you met with them.

- He took the girl and left.

- And you let him go?

Should I have shot him?

I tried, but he grabbed my gun.

- Kung Fu's not my thing.

- Who is the man?

Ex-special-forces guy, KSK. Lots

of medals. Thinks he's John Rambo now.

- John Rambo?

- The guy from the movies.

Sylvester Stallone?

Do I get a name?

Here.

Max Fischer.

This is so f***ed up.

Is something wrong?

Everything's okay.

I want to know everything about Max.

If he got a parking ticket

in Kabul I want to know!

If he ran over a donkey in Kundus

I want to know!

I want pictures of the girl circulated

to every patrol, hotel

and every motel!

I want all clinics,

doctor's offices, pharmacies

and hospitals

to monitor their insulin stocks.

If I find a single manhole cover in town

that you forgot to check,

you're in big trouble! Okay.

We'll start with his apartment.

No lights.

You have a message, Max.

Hi, it's me, Lily.

It's that time of year again,

and I thought of you.

I hope you're fine and safe and

you're still in one piece.

And that you're happy,

the usual stuff.

I'm fine.

Very busy.

Happy Birthday.

Come on.

- It's an empty apartment.

- What?

He's registered but doesn't live there.

- Where does he live?

- Same building, one story up.

- You're kidding me?

- No.

Boss, that'll kill you some day.

When you get to where I am

we'll talk about it, okay?

Sure thing.

Who was the woman?

- An old friend.

- Sure thing.

- Is she your girlfriend?

- Used to be a long time ago.

Got a picture of her?

I don't carry pictures.

Why not?

She isn't your girlfriend anymore.

No.

- But you'd like her to be.

- It won't happen.

She called you.

Maybe she wants you back.

It won't happen, 'cause I'm gay.

Is that a joke?

- It isn't. It's immature.

- Drink your shake.

- I'm not 50.

- You will be soon.

What does your family think?

I don't have a family.

- Really?

- Yeah.

You don't have a family?

My father died when I was a kid,

and my mother never remarried.

And she died when I was 18.

I don't know who my father was.

My mother was so hung up on booze

and drugs that they took me away.

At some point they called

and said she was dead.

Then we're two lonely orphans

in the night.

Do you believe in heaven?

- What do you mean?

- Is there anybody who watches over us?

I know a lot of people

that nobody watched over.

What about you?

When I was little

my mother told me

that every child has a guardian angel.
