Yes.

l have a real strange feeling.

What do you think?

l think they need money,

just to pay their bills.

- That's how l feel too.

- What do you suggest?

We should check

the balance sheets again.

Why?

I'd like to see if they have unpaid bills,

and how they hid them.

Fine.

Can l invite you to dinner?

By the way, Yella, l gave you

That's right.

Here it is.

Who's this?

Your terribly sick Papa? Or the little

brother, who wants to go to college?

My husband.

I'm separated from him.

l wanted out and he...

- Why are you telling me this stuff?

- l want to explain.

- He's following me, and l thought...

- I'm not interested!

The first train to Wittenberge.

Early tomorrow.

From Hanover.

Hello?

Wittenberge. On the Elbe river.

From Hanover.

Hello?

Hello!

Excuse me.

The door was open.

Do you know this one?

What is it?

Road to Cairo.

He needs the 25,000.

Heat and ventilation systems.

And where?

Wittenberge.

But nothing is being

built there anymore!

How does he plan to save

the company with 25,000?

- They're building the airport there.

- Which airport?

The DHL airport.

With 25,000 he can stay afloat

until construction starts.

it's a big contract.

Then he'll pay back the 25,000.

They're not building an airport

in Wittenberge.

Yes they are!

They're building it in Leipzig.

Wittenberge lost out long ago,

a few months back.

Sh*t.

Why didn't you write a return address

on the envelope?

Why would you send

the money anonymously?

He's stalking me.

He was in my room a few days ago.

l think he's somewhere nearby.

And the money will keep him busy

so he'll leave you alone?

You really think that would've worked?

You have a bad conscience

since you don't love him anymore.

No, that's not it.

l don't love him because he's ruined...

he hasn't got anything left.

That's why l have a bad conscience.

Did he put that into your head?

''You're leaving,

because I'm poor, finished.''

''I'm stuck in the ruins

of my company and love for you...

''..and you just leave.

''Find yourself someone new,

someone with money, etcetera.''

Yes, exactly.

l have to go.

Did you look at the books again?

Friday. The appointment.

No, l thought l...

Yes...do it.

Thanks.

Sleep well.

You too.

We're somewhat disappointed.

I'll put it this way...

Naturally we made plans.

We arrived at our own numbers.

Sadly, it is quite far

from your proposal.

We have a system

that alone is worth quite a bit.

We have inventory, as ''going-concern''

it represents at least one million.

But you rank us differently.

We ask how can we

be compared to a ''start-up'',

which only has one idea,

a pile of paper?

We understand your viewpoint,
