They cross the street

as if you had cholera.

As if I were contagious.

As if I'd done it.

If it wasn't for Gnther,

who knows?

Gnther?

Gnther Griegoleit

from Griegoleit Driving School.

He was always there for me.

Unfortunately, he later moved to Bielefeld.

What?

- Griegoleit.

He moved to Bielefeld.

What a shame.

Right.

- Mr. Rolfes to gardening, Mr. Rolfes.

Listen, I...

I'm very sorry...

about everything...

I don't mean to be rude...

Mr. Rolfes to gardening.

That's Werner.

We were celebrating his 60th.

A few years ago now, too.

Where's that?

At home.

In the cellar.

Are those bars?

What'

Here...

in the foreground.

The poles. They look like bars.

Yes.

It doesn't really concern me, but...

who is this Werner?

Werner Heise, the "Beast of Barsbttel."

I mean,

once he confessed,

I began calling him Werner.

Earlier, I'd called him Mr. Heise

He lives in your cellar?

- Yes.

Since when?

October 3rd, '79.

Our anniversary.

We always drink a beer to celebrate.

A nice dark ale.

Yes,

it was a bit strange for me at first, too.

But over time...

Humans are creatures of habit.

You've held him captive for 30 years?

It's no easy job, let me tell you.

But,

I don't want to complain.

We've really settled in since then.

And nobody's ever missed him?

What?

Heise.

I'd prefer if you call him "Werner."

No one's ever missed Werner?

Everyone hoped he'd disappear. When he

was gone they finally felt safe again.

That's how it was.

What do you think?

Think of what?

That I'm protecting people from Werner?

That he can't hurt anyone else?

It's vigilantism.

And if Werner were to...

I mean, you have two kids.

Both healthy, I hope.

Yes, I...

I mean,

sure, if...

he really did it, then...

That's lovely.

What?

What?

What's lovely?

Well, that you understand.

You know,

that means a lot to me.

I never said I understand.

Not directly,

but you did between the lines.

Werner's got it good at my place:

TV,

bathroom,

heating, kitchenette.

Built it all myself.

Sounds great.

Yes.

I thought so, too.

Until two days ago.

Two days ago?

Yes?

Yes, it's Mr. Tapken again,

from Tapken Bathrooms.

What now?

Please step aside,

Mrs. Schohusen.

You can't just...

- You know, Mrs. Schohusen.

I feel like

you got the wrong impression of me.

This is unacceptable, Mr. Tapken.

- I'd like to apologize,

Mrs. Schohusen.

My motto is always:

"Only the best for my customers

and a bit less if need be."

I should've told you that.

That's why we got our wires crossed.

I'm sorry.

I'll give you the exhibit piece.

Every kind of raised seat fits,

even the cheapest.

You should leave now, Mr. Tapken.

Good,
