[In the Storage Unit]
Jens: Alexandra wants ... to...kill Bea.
Julian: She wants to kill her?
[On the bus]
Götting: Frau Vogel, yes....
(He drops the phone).
Bea: Herr Götting. Hello?
Julian: Shit!
(He leans over to pick up the phone).
Michael: It's running again, here we go.
(Julian grabs the phone and sits back up, only to see the buss to late, ramming into the back of it at full speed).
Intro
[The Accident Scene]
(The sun has now set, and we see several shots of the scene, then of people on the bus...Bea is slowly coming around. We see Julian, lifeless in the car... and then the gasoline catches on fire).
Bea: Are you ok?! You're bleeding! Oh, my head!
Michael: What about you?
Bea: I'm fine, what about the others?
(They find a flashlight and slowly begin to search for the others).
Michael: We need to get out of here. We need to get out of here as soon as possible.
[In a Secluded Area]
(Ben jumps out of the car and starts to yell at Ronnie).
Ben: What kind of shitty idea was it to continue the race in traffic like that?!
Sophie: What, did you lose the race again?
Ben (to Ronnie): You really are insane, or something!
Ronnie: Nothing happened!
Sophie: What’s going on?
Ben: Haven’t you heard, yet!?! Nothing! Only that we almost drove into a busload of people! Stop playing games! This whole thing was stupid from the start.
Ronnie: Hey, you didn’t win the race! As the bus was coming you let up on the gas, remember?
Ben: I don’t care.
Ronnie: It doesn’t work that way.
Ben: Try and stop me!
(Ben gets into his Mustang and drives off, leaving Ronnie and Sophie staring after him).
[The Accident Scene]
Michael: Are you ok? Are you in pain?
Bodo: I’m alright, except for the heart attack.
Michael: Get out. Carefully. Alright? Get out. Timo? Timo, are you ok?
Timo: Only a few scrapes.
Michael: Ok, come on. Try to get up. Slowly...
Timo: Ahhh...
Michael: Ok, come on ... come on ...
Timo: Ah...
Michael: I’ll come with you. Next ...
Bea: You’re really ok?
Lara: I think so...
Bea: Can you stand up? (Lara takes off her seat belt and gets up). Then get out of here. (Bea moves onto the next person). What about you? Luzi, can you unbuckle yourself?
Luzi: No, the belt is jammed somehow.
Bea: Emma, can you help Luzi? Emma? Emma?!
Luzi: Man, Emma! What’s going on!?!
Bea: She’s in shock. Emma?
(Luzi starts going into full-on panic mode).
Luzi: I can’t get myself out! Someone help me get out!
Bea (shouting): Michael! (He comes back onto the bus and Bea leans over, grabbing at Luzi’s buckle). I can’t reach...
Luzi: Arugh!
Bea: Pull now...
Michael: Okay...
Luzi: Not the arm ... not the arm ... not the arm!
Bea: I’ll get her out...
Michael: Good.
Bea: Can you take care of Emma? She’s in shock...
Michael: Emma ... Emma, are you hurt? We have to get out of here now. Come on, slowly, ok? That’s it... careful.
[On the Streets of Cologne]
Ben: Fuck!
//Flashback
Bea: Seems almost as if you were going to hide. What was between us, that’s history! And if you’re half as mature as you’re always saying you are, then you need to FINALLY accept that.
Ronnie: My motto is always, ‘if you want something, you’ve got to take it!’ Voila!
Sophie: 3... 2 ... 1... GO!
Ben: Now pull over!
Flashback//
(Ben is having a hard time keeping his composure, but he finally drives away).
[The Accident Scene]
Bea: How are you holding up with your arm?
Luzi: I’ll be ok.
Timo: Argh!!
Luzi: Hey, hey... you alright?
Timo: I just moved the wrong way or something, that’s all.
Luzi: You sure?
Timo: I just got knocked around in the collision, all good.
Michael: Ok, everyone’s out. You have to get off of the road, get to the shoulder ... stay together and call an ambulance.
Bea: Alexandra ... Alexandra ... Alexandra! Where is Alexandra?! Give me the flashlight. Alexandra! (Bea goes to the back of the bus). Alexandra? Alexandra?! (She finds her under some of the debris and calls out to Michael). She’s here! Alexandra?
Michael: Oh God! Carefully ... here ... carefully ... Ok, careful... Alexandra? Alexandra!
Bea: Shit!
(Back with the members of the STAG)
Bodo: You’re really trembling. (He takes off his jacket and puts it around Lara’s shoulders, then sits next to her, gives her a handkerchief and pulls out her iPod). Here, I found it next to the bus.
Lara: Thank you.
Bodo: It’s best to forget about what’s happened. Do you maybe want to listen to some music? (Lara nods and Bodo helps her put in an ear-bud ... He takes the other and puts it in his ear and they begin to listen together). This is good, The Black Pony are great! I’ve seen them in concert. (Lara smiles at Bodo, grateful for his company).
Luzi: Man, this is broken! Not even the damn emergency number works!
Timo: Ah, fuck!
Luzi: Do you have your cell phone?
Timo: It’s in my backpack.
Luzi: Shit! (She throws her cell phone into the bushes). Emma ... Emma ... where is your cell phone? (Emma is still in shock and isn’t responding. We see that she can see and hear, but everything is moving slowly - the sound echoes). Emma? Hello?!
Timo: What’s wrong with her?
Luzi: Shit! She’s not responding!
(Timo snaps his fingers in front of Emma’s face).
Timo: I think she’s in shock.
Luzi: We need her cell phone ... We have to call the ambulance or the Police. (She finds Emma’s phone). Shit reception. (She walks a little bit away from the others trying to get a signal, gets one and dials the emergency number). Hello?! Hi we are hurt and we desperately need an ambulance. (To Timo) Where are we?
Timo: B 506 towards Bergisch-Gladbach, just after the A96 exit.
Luzi (to the operator): B 506 towards Bergisch-Gladbach, just after the A ...
(She falters and looks to Timo...)
Timo: A96 ...
Luzi (to the operator): A96. We are hurt ... Our bus was hit, it’s totaled. Please send someone to us right away.
(Timo notices that there is a car).
Timo: Shit, someone is still in there! (He takes off running towards Julian’s car).
Luzi: Timo, wait! (She takes off after him).
Timo: Oh god, that’s... (He is trying to free Julian).
Luzi: Götting...
Timo: We have to get him out of there immediately.
(Timo frees Julian and pulls him out of the car).
[Back at the Rear of the Bus]
Michael: On top. (Bea puts a pressure bandage on Alexandra’s wound). She’s breathing evenly... that’s a good sign.
Bea: It is a good sign, but even so, we should get away from the bus.
Michael: I’ll take this side.
[Chulos]
Ben: Gin and tonic. Hey, forget the tonic. (He gulps the alcohol down in one go). One more.
[The Accident Scene]
Bea: I’ll stay with her until the ambulance is here. The ambulance is coming. Alexandra, you cannot move. I’m right here, ok?
Michael: I’ll go check on the rest.
(Michael looks away and sees that Timo has Julian thrown over his shoulder and his carrying him away from the car. Then he notices that the car is on fire).
Timo (to Luzi): RUN!
Michael: Get away! Get away from the car!
(Luzi and Tim are running when Julian’s car suddenly explodes, throwing them forward).
Luzi: Timo?
(Michael has run over to them).
Michael: Are you ok? I’m here ... stay calm. Timo? Timo? Timo, can you hear me? He’s breathing. Timo!?
Timo: Wow that was pretty wild. Ahhh ...
Michael: Careful, careful. Very carefully. What about that ambulance?
Luzi: I called them forever ago, they should be here by now!
Michael: Ok, careful. Go to the others.
(Luzi helps Timo. Bea is still holding Alexandra in her arms, and Michael goes to Julian and discovers that he is dead. Shocked, he stares at the burning car).
[Chulos]
(Ben is still doing shots of gin, but they are doing nothing to erase his memories of the accident).
//Flashback ...
Ben: Man, now pull over!
...Flashback//
(Ben comes out of his flashback and starts to feverishly move around, finally grabbing his phone and dialing).
Ben: Now come on, Luzi ... pick up! (Luzi’s voice mail) “Hi, this is Luzi. I’m not able to pick up, but you can try me at home.” (Ben leaves a message) Hey, it’s me. Ben. I really only wanted to see what was on your mind. So, um ... (Sophie and Ronnie walk into the club) ... take care, and call me back later, ok? Bye!
[The Accident Scene]
(Bea still has Alexandra in her arms).
Bea: You’re safe now! Nothing bad will happen! Do you hear me? Everything will be ok!
(Bea looks to Michael, who is still kneeling next to Julian’s body).
Michael (silently mouthing the words to Bea): He’s dead!
(Bea is obviously shocked)
[Bergmann Mansion]
(We hear Emma singing, and then see a very proud, and obviously spellbound, Jenny sitting on the sofa with a very wide smile on her face).
Emma (singing on the radio): “I like to serve you whenever I can. Come on, Mr. and satisfy me ...”
Stefan: Hey, Jenny ... Have you seen a little green memory stick? I thought I had left it outside ...
Jenny: (bothered) Psscht!! Emma is singing!
Stefan: Oh ...
(Not one to mess with the ladies, he walks off ... Emma is still singing, and Jenny happily goes back to listening).
Radio Host: That was a great performance by the STAG in Sister Act in Hamburg. I wish I had been there! We were actually supposed to have a bit of a chat with them now, but they’re not here yet. Why? Well we don’t know why yet... but hopefully that’ll be cleared up soon. For now, we’ll listen to “Who Wants to Live Forever” from ...
(Jenny, confused as to why the STAG are not at the Radio Station, turns off the program and calls Emma).
[The Accident Scene - On the Side of the Road]
Bodo: Are you alright?
Timo: Something smarts ...
Bodo: What is ... ?
Timo: My head! I just need to take a short break. Be right back.
Luzi: Come here, lean against the tree.
[Back and Forth from the Side of the Road to the Bergmann Mansion]
(A phone is ringing, finally Luzi takes it out of her pocket and answers).
Luzi: Hello!?
Jenny: Emma! Why aren’t you at the Radio Station? What’s going on?
Luzi: This is not Emma. It’s Luzi.
Jenny: Luzi, please give the phone to Emma ...
Luzi: I can’t, she can’t speak ...
Jenny: Can’t speak?? But ...
Luzi: Man, Jenny ... we had an accident. We were hit.
Jenny: Oh, God! Are you ok? Is Emma alright?
Luzi: Emma’s fine, I think. She can’t speak. I have to go take care of Timo now.
(Luzi hangs up the phone, leaving Jenny shocked).
Jenny: Hello? Luzi!?
[The Accident Scene – The Side of the Road]
Luzi: Are you feeling better?
Timo: Yes.
Luzi: Okay.
[The Accident Scene – The Back of the Bus]
Bea: Alexandra? The worst is over. You have to hold on now.
Alexandra: What about Julian?
(Michael is still with Julian’s body).
Bea: He’s fine. Don’t worry. You can’t move around so much, do you hear?
Alexandra: You stayed with me this whole time?
Bea: Yes, and I’m not leaving. You don’t need to worry. (Alexandra starts to cry). Shhhh ... it’s all okay. It’s all okay!
[Chulos]
(Ben is sitting at the bar, being tortured by his thoughts when Ronnie walks over).
Ronnie: Well then ... celebrating again?
Ben: Yeah, I’m such an idiot. I’m even stupider than you. That has to be celebrated.
Ronnie: Yeah, that is a good reason. Hey, let’s get on with it. A beer for me and the lady! Of course (Ronnie looks at Ben) I mean the lady (He points at Sophie) and one for my sad friend.
Ben: At this moment, we are not friends.
Ronnie: Oh come on, after all we’ve been through together, huh!? Cheers brother!
Ben: I’ve had enough! I’m tired of all the shit that you pull!
Ronnie: Hey, calm down, Ben! Man! Do you think I wanted everything to get so out of hand?! Shit happens! Honestly man, I’m not so keen on it... us repeating it. Isn’t that right, honey? (Ronnie directs his question to Sophie).
Sophie: He’s sorry...
(Ben shakes his head in disbelief).
Ronnie: And we shouldn’t be acting as if we’re at a funeral... I mean, after all, no one died, eh?
Ben: Yes, but it was damn close.
Ronnie: Could be, but it’s done. My god, some stuff has happened, a few retirees were scared. That’s it! Honestly, Ben, there are people who would pay a lot of money for such an adrenaline rush, and you’re mad because we got it for free! It’s not normal.
[The Accident Scene]
Alexandra: How is Julian?
Bea: I ... I don’t know ... He ... he’s ...
Alexandra: He’s dead, right?
Bea: He is ... No. No. He’s fine. Don’t worry, the ambulance will be here any moment now.
Alexandra: You’re lying because you want to protect me, but you don’t need to. I never spared any love for you. (She begins to cry again).
Bea: Quiet now ... calm down.
Alexandra: Julian was trying to stop me.
Bea: It’s not important anymore ...
Alexandra: Yes, you have to listen to me, Bea!
Bea: Okay ...
Alexandra: Julian was afraid that I was going to hurt you. (We see Michael, still with Julian’s body). That’s why he’s here, but he was wrong. I didn’t want to hurt you ... I wanted to...
Bea: Hush, hush now ... we can talk about all this later.
Alexandra: I have wronged you. I’m sorry. (Bea nods) I hope you can forgive me someday.
Bea: Of course I forgive you.
Alexandra: Really?!
Bea: Yes, of course!
Alexandra: Thank you.
Bea: But, but you’ve got to do me a favor now, ok? You have to promise me that you’ll hold on! Do you hear me?! Alexandra? (Alexandra loses consciousness, and then quietly dies in Bea’s arms). Alexandra? Alexandra!?!? (Bea accepts that she is gone and closes her eyes. As she breaks down and begins crying, we see the ambulance pulling up in the background).
Finish.
