If Rosemonde tells you about her life,
as you say,
would you pay her for that?
That could be arranged.
- Is it too long?
- No, I think it's fine.
- I found the girl!
- Bravo!
- Do you want to meet her?
- Definitely not.
She's a bit alright.
I already knew that.
She's even better than you imagine.
I can't see her with a rifle.
Still, everything points to the
contrary!
This is Vladimir.
He practices here when his
wife can't stand it any longer.
He can keep you company.
Where shall I go?
Up to my room.
You didn't say much on the phone.
But I've got nothing to hide.
You're a journalist?
Yeah. Have I disturbed your dinner?
No, no, I just finished.
I always eat very early.
Is this the famous rifle?
Yes, that's my army rifle.
Isn't it terrible,
to think I was almost killed by it?
The weapon I served with for 30 years?
Through years of looking
after it, one gets attached.
It's become more than just a rifle.
For us, it's almost a symbol of our
freedom.
To see it turned on you one day...
True, that's somewhat of a paradox.
She had run-ins with the police
before.
It was over a stolen car.
Not to mention, her illegitimate
child.
At seventeen!
She's a bad lot!
My brother's not a bad guy,
but he never did anything with his
life.
Still, it was a big, fine family.
She came from a big family?
Yes, she was put in my care
when she was fifteen,
so that she could go to school in
town.
It meant one less mouth to feed at
home.
At fifteen she ran around with
delinquents,
got up at 10 in the morning,
and finally ended up meddling in
crime.
Did she have any cause?
No, that's just it!
That's what I don't understand.
While she was here, we treated
her like our own daughter.
But she couldn't escape her destiny.
It could well have cost me my life.
- Do you want to see my scar?
- No, it's not necessary.
The worst place is where the bullet
came out.
Unlike the uncle,
Paul liked the wind very much.
Paul waited for two days, but there
was no wind.
I've had it.
After work, I always feel like
yelling or breaking something.
When I feel up to it, I go swimming.
Be patient. In 40 years, you can
retire.
Three months already,
but it feels like a lifetime.
I'll stay six months at the most.
- Will you get a pension?
- No.
That's my big regret.
Sometimes I imagine how
I'd get up at 10, flop around in
slippers,
make some coffee, run a bath, go down
and fetch the paper.
At lunch time I'd rustle up a meal.
What a life!
A monthly pension.
Card games at the pub. A dream!
