Dark Bar (1988) Movie Script
Hello?
Yes, it's me.
Yes, I understand.
- Okay, I'll be there in an hour.
- The usual place.
- At seven.
- At seven.
- What colour is it this time?
- Red; a red raincoat in the usual bag.
Okay.
Understood.
- And the money?
- The instructions are in the bag.
"Anna, it's me,
Elizabeth..."
"It's almost six, I'll be at
home for another half an hour..."
"It isn't about money this time,
it's important..."
I need to speak to you.
I'm leaving,
I'm going away for a while...
It's been so long now.
You could call me at least, it's important.
- What's so funny?
- I'm the monster of Dusseldorf.
You're fucking idiot.
- I thought you'd be happy to see me.
- I hate surprises.
- Well, are we leaving or not?
- Did you find a motorbike?
- I said I'd have it by tonight.
- Okay.
- Did you get the money?
- Yes, it's all sorted...
But I'm busy now.
Midnight, okay?
- I can take you.
- No, it's a private matter...
I have to see someone,
my sister.
I'll see you later.
"Tolstoy square,
the tram stop..."
"Nine o'clock."
- Wait here.
- How long?
- About an hour, let's say ten thirty.
- Yes, okay, I'll wait.
She still hasn't arrived,
I'll wait till ten, then I'll call back.
Come here Elizabeth.
Sit here.
Lubka, dear, get my shawl,
it's in my room...
- Just do as I say!
- Bye, Lubka, see you later.
What is this?
We had a deal.
Relax, I couldn't take it all
out at once...
They wanted another signature
for such a high amount...
Don't worry, I'll talk to the
bank manager tomorrow.
Stay here!
Where are you going?
To hell.
Elizabeth!
- It's eleven, she isn't coming.
- Make the delivery at the dry cleaners.
- What time?
- Seven, precisely.
Understood.
Everything like before then...
Just a change of place.
Okay, goodbye.
Elizabeth! Hi!
Expensive! where did you buy it?
In a shop...
Ever heard of them?
Where are you going?
I want to introduce my friend Walter.
He was here.
Where has that idiot run off to?
- In a hurry?
- No, I just need to go to the toilet.
- What's in your bag?
- Nothing that would interest you.
Let me see,
I hope you're not hiding anything from me.
What have you got there?
A raincoat!
What a strange colour.
Mind if I try it on?
- Have you seen Marco?
- No, are you waiting for him?
What do you see in that savage?
- Hi, Betty.
- Hi.
Look at the beautiful colour.
- Do you want one?
- Yes, thanks, I'll be right back.
One minute.
I'm coming.
The seams...
Cut the seams!
Two Beethovens.
Well?
This deserves a toast!
- It doesn't feel real.
- Come on...
You're going to be a star.
It's what you've always wanted.
Yes.
Dreamed of...
And determined to get there.
So let's drink a farewell toast to
the old Blue Sisters' Club...
Tomorrow morning,
when you wake up...
You'll start your trip on the
road to success.
To the good life!
The tool of the trade.
- Can I come up?
- No, I'm very tired.
- Thanks anyway.
- I was looking for you today.
- Yes?
- To tell you I'd come and get you.
- Goodnight.
- Bye.
"It's Adelmo.
Did you recognise me?"
"I wanted to come over and get you."
"Anyway, we'll see each other
tonight at the Blue Sisters."
"Anna, it's me Elizabeth,
it's almost six..."
"I'll be at home for another
half hour..."
"It isn't about money this time,
it's important..."
"I need to speak to you."
"Anna, it's me again, stop being
a bitch little sister, call me..."
"I don't need your money,
not now or in the future..."
"Call me tonight."
- Well?
- She just returned home now...
- Do you still want to wait?
- It's too risky, let's wait till tomorrow.
- Hello, Anna?
- Yes, who is this?
- It's Marina, do you remember me?
- Yes, yes.
I'm calling because you said
that if I ever needed anything...
- I don't want to trouble you...
- It's okay, what is it?
- Have you heard from Elizabeth?
- No, has something happened?
I don't know, she isn't answering
her phone, it's very strange...
She promised to pay me back
some money but I can't find her.
I'm sorry, but me and my sister...
I'm sorry Anna, I know it's
always been a problem for you...
But I can't find her.
I thought you might know something.
Look, I haven't seen her for
at least six months...
- But if I hear anything...
- Okay.
I'm sorry Anna.
"This is Elizabeth,
I'm not at home, leave a message."
Elizabeth, it's me, Anna.
I wanted to know what happened to you?
Marina is looking for you...
We're worried about you.
Call me, okay.
Hello?
Elizabeth?
"Elizabeth, it's Stefania,
I hope you hear this message..."
"I want to tell you not to come,
I mean don't go."
"Elizabeth, it's me,
I expected you to call..."
"Why haven't you called?
It's all ready, I'm waiting for you"
"Elizabeth, it's midnight,
I'm at the Dark Bar..."
"Everyone saw you except for me,
you're quite a bitch."
"Are you there? Are you listening?
it's two, I'm still here..."
"Did you leave with someone else?"
"Elizabeth, it's me Anna,
I wanted to know what happened to you?"
"Marina is looking for you.
We're worried about you..."
"Call me, okay."
Do you know her?
We're only here in the morning.
- I know him
- Who is he? What is his name?
His name's Marco,
he works here and there...
- He's at the Cine Club now.
- Where?
In the park,
in the east side of the city.
- Get back to work you.
- Okay, thanks a lot.
Get a move on.
Just go.
Come here.
- Damn, it's locked.
- Wait, I've got the key.
To hell with the key.
- Is she really your sister?
- Don't get any ideas.
- Who wants her?
- Then quit hassling me...
Aren't you worried about Carlos?
- If he touched my sister...
- Let's go!
- Son of a...
- Nothing happened.
Anyone around?
- Is anyone here?
- We're closed, the club opens tonight.
I'm Elizabeth's sister.
The musician!
What do you play?
I mean what kind of music?
Roger Waters, Andreas Vollenweider?
- I'm looking for Elizabeth.
- She's not here.
She was supposed to come last
night but she didn't show up.
I'm worried.
I've been to her home.
You're worried about her!
Sorry, but she's a bitch.
We were meant to leave this morning...
She obviously changed her mind.
Listen...
We're putting on a special show tonight,
then the Cine Club is going to close down.
- So?
- I'm alone, can you go down a second...
To check the sound.
Will you?
- Okay, I'll do it.
- Thanks
What is your name?
Anna?
Can you hear it okay?
Can you hear me?
- Help! Marco!
- What's going on?
Where have you hidden it?
Hand it over!
Where do you think you're going?
She must have gone this way.
- "This is Adelmo..."
- Thank god you're there.
"I'm not at home, please leave
a message after the tone."
"The Blues Sisters' Club,
thanks for calling..."
"We will be open again on the 18th..."
My god.
"This is the police, we have urgent news
regarding your sister, please call us back."
- Hello.
- Police, did you get our message?
We've found a woman's body
in a public rest room.
- And?
- We're afraid it might be your sister.
- Are you sure?
- You'll have to identify the body.
- Do I have to come now?
- "No, tomorrow morning would be better..."
"Unfortunately it's a holiday."
Yes.
Of course, I know.
Yes, that's her.
Hold on a moment.
Please sign this.
- Where did she hide it?
- In a hut by the beach.
- Do you believe in fate?
- No, it's just a game, I find it amusing.
I wasn't talking about cards,
I was thinking about that day...
The accident.
I only tried for fun...
On that very day...
And, as though fate had
ordained it, he got in with us.
What do the cards say Lubka?
So far so good.
It's incredible,
the Sun card has just come out...
The truth chases ghosts and
false visions away.
Read the last page again.
"If anything should happen to me..."
"I want you to know something
very important..."
"I was forced to work for the
criminal gangs in the north."
- There's a list of names.
- No, read the previous page.
"There are some things I find
impossible to forget..."
"We are dead amongst the dead.
Perhaps it really was my fault..."
"It was her first time,
I shouldn't have given it to her..."
"Now I look at her,
like that day behind the wheel..."
"It makes me mad every time
I look at her..."
"A corpse wrapped up in a shawl.
One day I'll shake her hand..."
"And from under her rotting flesh,
I'll put out her skeleton..."
"And that will end her crazy
monologue about good and evil..."
"I'm scared,
I don't feel safe any more..."
"The anxiety is growing,
I feel so cold..."
"I can't go on like this,
I have to do something..."
"But I'm tired and alone..."
"I long to rewind the clock,
but it's too late..."
Enough.
That's enough.
Put it back in the hut by
the beach...
Where Elizabeth had hidden it.
- I can stay if you like?
- No, do as I say.
I don't need anything.
I'll see you tomorrow.
"I'm not at home,
leave a message after the tone..."
"Hello beautiful, recognise me?
You're going to die like your sister."
Sorry, you're right,
there was no answer so I came in...
I was waiting for you.
Why did you come here?
I returned this.
What do you want from me?
I'd like to know why they
mauled my foot.
And they were clearly out to get you.
- Elizabeth.
- Yes, I know...
One wasn't enough.
Listen, what do you want?
I don't know you!
Elizabeth and I were friends.
I want to help you.
- Well turn around, I need to get dressed.
- Yes, sorry.
- Is this it?
- Yes.
Stay close to me.
It's not like we did much
more then...
We smoked,
passed the time together...
- I'm sorry, you can't go in.
- We're friends.
Yes, you're right,
but I have to go in, it's important.
I remember people used
to appreciate life a lot more...
Now, everything seems the same...
- Who is she?
- I don't know.
Flat...
It isn't boredom...
Let's have a ten minute break.
- Excuse me, I'm Elizabeth's sister.
- She shouldn't have done it...
I told her;
leave it...
But she had to do it her way.
- What did she do?
- She wanted to blackmail them...
I think there's a diary involved,
now it's all clear...
She thought she'd get away with it,
but those people are dangerous!
- What diary?
- Leave it...
- Get out of here!
- Stefania!
Wait.
- Have you seen Stefania?
- No, I haven't seen her.
- Everyone back to their places.
- Where were you hiding?
Hiding?
They wouldn't let me in!
- Did Elizabeth take drugs?
- Why? You never tried?
No!
Don't get upset.
You probably just missed your chance,
or you didn't have the courage.
What are you talking about?
Why does it take courage to ruin your life?
I bet you're full of courage!
- I got clean, but Elizabeth...
- Elizabeth?
- Leave it.
- I want to know.
- Did you love her?
- I liked her...
She suggested we go away
for a while.
Were you supplying her?
- Why did she do it?
- Calm down, and don't preach to me...
Go read a book and find out
for yourself...
You look like a bookworm.
- What do you know about me?
- Long live culture!
Life is hard for everyone...
And if you don't know how
to live in this world...
You might as well shoot yourself with
that gun you keep at the Cine Club.
Is this how you talked to your sister?
Leave my sister out of this.
Have you ever tried the
Dark Bar special?
- It's horrible.
- Have you seen Stefania?
Yes, she arrived half an hour ago.
- Wait.
- What's wrong?
It's none of my business,
but I noticed...
- Go on?
- When Stefania arrived...
She was wearing the same
raincoat Elizabeth had in her bag.
- Thanks, I'm going to look for her.
- You didn't hear that from me.
Excuse me.
She's out of it.
We have to go.
- Get out of here.
- Why? Are the cops here?
No, someone's in a bad way.
Stefania, what's wrong?
Say something.
They got me,
just like Elizabeth.
What happened to Elizabeth?
What happened to her?
The gangs in the north,
they're evil...
The raincoats are filled with drugs...
She wanted to get out.
She had a diary with names...
- They killed her.
- A diary! Where?
I don't know...
She never told me.
What do we do now?
They killed her.
No...
And to think that today was meant to
be the start of my glittering career.
Success?
What do you call success?
I wanted to be a star,
enjoy the nice things in life...
And all the applause.
And then...
I don't know.
And now,
I really don't know.
- I don't want to think about it.
- Did you know your sister?
I don't even know who I am anymore.
I've already been close to death...
My mother, my father,
but her suicide frightens me.
What kind of shit world do you live in?
We live.
I need to lie down.
Thanks.
- What are you doing?
- I'm looking at you from a different angle.
- Didn't you hear a noise?
- Listen, musician, answer me this...
Is it the sound that comes to the ear,
or the sound that goes to the ear?
Is it the movement that comes to the eye,
or the eye that goes to the movement?
You told me you quit taking drugs.
This is Zen, my dear.
Form a triangle, etcetera...
Please stop it, this isn't the time
to play the philosopher.
Don't worry, I've been through
a lot worse than this...
You can find Buddha in the
gearbox of a motorbike...
Or in the petals of a flower,
like you.
Don't be afraid.
I don't believe in these things.
I'm scared.
Relax, I'm here.
Now listen the sound with your eyes...
And watch the movements
with your ears.
Stay here,
and don't move.
I'll check it out.
I'll be right back.
There was no one there.
- Let's go, I'm scared.
- I don't think they'll be back.
I hope not.
- We should wait until tonight.
- Yes.
Okay.
Are you scared of me?
Me, scared?
- Why today?
- I don't know...
Perhaps to exorcise her death.
- But I...
- Quiet!
Hold me close.
- I'm fed up of waiting.
- The diary isn't at her place...
We have to wait for them to leave,
they'll lead us to it.
"Elizabeth, it's me.
I've been waiting for your call..."
"Why didn't you call?
It's all ready, I'm waiting."
No, wait!
"This is 64-92-00-35..."
"I'm not at home,
leave a message after the tone."
"We know you're at home,
come down and give us what we want."
"Or we're coming up."
We have to get out of here,
they're serious.
Did Elizabeth ever talk to
you about Wilma?
Wilma? Yes.
I went there once with her...
We had to bring her something,
it might have been drugs...
It was an old villa,
she had money when she came out...
I waited by the entrance,
I didn't go inside.
- Is it a house by a lake?
- Yes.
I'll get the car,
I'll try to go over the balcony...
You get dressed, stand by
the window, then come down.
Okay, I'll do it.
Yes, this is it.
We need to find a boat.
Over there.
Let's go.
I think we lost them.
- Slow down, we're almost there.
- If I'm not mistaken, it's over there.
Yes, look, there it is.
Where are they?
Pull over.
Finally.
Let's take a look down there.
- Does it hurt a lot?
- No, I'm okay.
"Come up.
The stairs in front of you."
"Please, don't be afraid."
Who is it?
Elizabeth?
Elizabeth, is that you?
Answer me.
No, Wilma,
it's Anna.
Anna...
Who's with you?
- My name's Marco.
- Yes, I remember...
- You came here once with Elizabeth.
- Yes, that's right.
What is it?
Has something happened?
Yes...
Elizabeth is dead.
- Perhaps it's what she wanted.
- What do you mean?
- Someone killed her!
- As if you didn't know...
She took drugs with me.
Don't tell me you didn't know.
What did her habit have
to do with you?
Perhaps she wanted revenge...
I was driving the car that day...
It's my fault your father is dead.
That's what you think, too.
Yes, that's right Wilma.
I never hated you for this...
But I certainly didn't love you.
It's different for people like us...
- You go that way.
- Okay.
Do you know what they gave me to
relieve the pain after the accident?
Morphine!
- Yes, lots of sweet morphine.
- That was a long time ago.
And you know it.
We all make our own decisions.
But Elizabeth?
A strung out dealer.
I was a blind drug addict,
and she was my dealer...
All top quality merchandise.
She would buy my shells.
They're the only things I hold dear.
Listen.
It's the sound of the ocean.
Take it.
Wilma, Elizabeth is dead.
Do you understand? They killed her!
So what?
She tried to kill me with a cut dose.
She wanted to leave me, she thought she
could get away with her foolish blackmail.
They're after me now!
They're looking for a diary.
I persuaded her to give me all
the drugs hidden in the raincoat...
I promised her a tidy sum
in exchange...
How on earth did she think she
could get away with it?
You!
It's your fault!
We were both on drugs on
the day of the accident...
It was my first time.
- I had no idea.
- She persuaded me.
I only gave her part of the
money the other night...
And I made her believe she'd get
the rest when the bank opened.
Where is Elizabeth's diary?
It's hidden in the hut,
where she always hid her things.
Where are you?
Anna, don't leave me alone.
Where are you?
Do me first.
I want to do it myself.
I want to end it now.
Untie it now.
I'm...
...a bit tired.
Yes, it's me.
Yes, I understand.
- Okay, I'll be there in an hour.
- The usual place.
- At seven.
- At seven.
- What colour is it this time?
- Red; a red raincoat in the usual bag.
Okay.
Understood.
- And the money?
- The instructions are in the bag.

"It's almost six, I'll be at

She obviously changed her mind.
Listen...
We're putting on a special show tonight,
then the Cine Club is going to close down.
- So?
- I'm alone, can you go down a second...
To check the sound.
Will you?
- Okay, I'll do it.
- Thanks
What is your name?
Anna?
Can you hear it okay?
Can you hear me?
- Help! Marco!
- What's going on?
Where have you hidden it?
Hand it over!
Where do you think you're going?
She must have gone this way.
- "This is Adelmo..."
- Thank god you're there.
"I'm not at home, please leave
a message after the tone."
"The Blues Sisters' Club,
thanks for calling..."
"We will be open again on the 18th..."
My god.
"This is the police, we have urgent news
regarding your sister, please call us back."
- Hello.
- Police, did you get our message?
We've found a woman's body
in a public rest room.
- And?
- We're afraid it might be your sister.
- Are you sure?
- You'll have to identify the body.
- Do I have to come now?
- "No, tomorrow morning would be better..."
"Unfortunately it's a holiday."
Yes.
Of course, I know.
Yes, that's her.
Hold on a moment.
Please sign this.
- Where did she hide it?
- In a hut by the beach.
- Do you believe in fate?
- No, it's just a game, I find it amusing.
I wasn't talking about cards,
I was thinking about that day...
The accident.
I only tried for fun...
On that very day...
And, as though fate had
ordained it, he got in with us.
What do the cards say Lubka?
So far so good.
It's incredible,
the Sun card has just come out...
The truth chases ghosts and
false visions away.
Read the last page again.
"If anything should happen to me..."
"I want you to know something
very important..."
"I was forced to work for the
criminal gangs in the north."
- There's a list of names.
- No, read the previous page.
"There are some things I find
impossible to forget..."
"We are dead amongst the dead.
Perhaps it really was my fault..."
"It was her first time,
I shouldn't have given it to her..."
"Now I look at her,
like that day behind the wheel..."
"It makes me mad every time
I look at her..."
"A corpse wrapped up in a shawl.
One day I'll shake her hand..."
"And from under her rotting flesh,
I'll put out her skeleton..."
"And that will end her crazy
monologue about good and evil..."
"I'm scared,
I don't feel safe any more..."
"The anxiety is growing,
I feel so cold..."
"I can't go on like this,
I have to do something..."
"But I'm tired and alone..."
"I long to rewind the clock,
but it's too late..."
Enough.
That's enough.
Put it back in the hut by
the beach...
Where Elizabeth had hidden it.
- I can stay if you like?
- No, do as I say.
I don't need anything.
I'll see you tomorrow.
"I'm not at home,
leave a message after the tone..."
"Hello beautiful, recognise me?
You're going to die like your sister."
Sorry, you're right,
there was no answer so I came in...
I was waiting for you.
Why did you come here?
I returned this.
What do you want from me?
I'd like to know why they
mauled my foot.
And they were clearly out to get you.
- Elizabeth.
- Yes, I know...
One wasn't enough.
Listen, what do you want?
I don't know you!
Elizabeth and I were friends.
I want to help you.
- Well turn around, I need to get dressed.
- Yes, sorry.
- Is this it?
- Yes.
Stay close to me.
It's not like we did much
more then...
We smoked,
passed the time together...
- I'm sorry, you can't go in.
- We're friends.
Yes, you're right,
but I have to go in, it's important.
I remember people used
to appreciate life a lot more...
Now, everything seems the same...
- Who is she?
- I don't know.
Flat...
It isn't boredom...
Let's have a ten minute break.
- Excuse me, I'm Elizabeth's sister.
- She shouldn't have done it...
I told her;
leave it...
But she had to do it her way.
- What did she do?
- She wanted to blackmail them...
I think there's a diary involved,
now it's all clear...
She thought she'd get away with it,
but those people are dangerous!
- What diary?
- Leave it...
- Get out of here!
- Stefania!
Wait.
- Have you seen Stefania?
- No, I haven't seen her.
- Everyone back to their places.
- Where were you hiding?
Hiding?
They wouldn't let me in!
- Did Elizabeth take drugs?
- Why? You never tried?
No!
Don't get upset.
You probably just missed your chance,
or you didn't have the courage.
What are you talking about?
Why does it take courage to ruin your life?
I bet you're full of courage!
- I got clean, but Elizabeth...
- Elizabeth?
- Leave it.
- I want to know.
- Did you love her?
- I liked her...
She suggested we go away
for a while.
Were you supplying her?
- Why did she do it?
- Calm down, and don't preach to me...
Go read a book and find out
for yourself...
You look like a bookworm.
- What do you know about me?
- Long live culture!
Life is hard for everyone...
And if you don't know how
to live in this world...
You might as well shoot yourself with
that gun you keep at the Cine Club.
Is this how you talked to your sister?
Leave my sister out of this.
Have you ever tried the
Dark Bar special?
- It's horrible.
- Have you seen Stefania?
Yes, she arrived half an hour ago.
- Wait.
- What's wrong?
It's none of my business,
but I noticed...
- Go on?
- When Stefania arrived...
She was wearing the same
raincoat Elizabeth had in her bag.
- Thanks, I'm going to look for her.
- You didn't hear that from me.
Excuse me.
She's out of it.
We have to go.
- Get out of here.
- Why? Are the cops here?
No, someone's in a bad way.
Stefania, what's wrong?
Say something.
They got me,
just like Elizabeth.
What happened to Elizabeth?
What happened to her?
The gangs in the north,
they're evil...
The raincoats are filled with drugs...
She wanted to get out.
She had a diary with names...
- They killed her.
- A diary! Where?
I don't know...
She never told me.
What do we do now?
They killed her.
No...
And to think that today was meant to
be the start of my glittering career.
Success?
What do you call success?
I wanted to be a star,
enjoy the nice things in life...
And all the applause.
And then...
I don't know.
And now,
I really don't know.
- I don't want to think about it.
- Did you know your sister?
I don't even know who I am anymore.
I've already been close to death...
My mother, my father,
but her suicide frightens me.
What kind of shit world do you live in?
We live.
I need to lie down.
Thanks.
- What are you doing?
- I'm looking at you from a different angle.
- Didn't you hear a noise?
- Listen, musician, answer me this...
Is it the sound that comes to the ear,
or the sound that goes to the ear?
Is it the movement that comes to the eye,
or the eye that goes to the movement?
You told me you quit taking drugs.
This is Zen, my dear.
Form a triangle, etcetera...
Please stop it, this isn't the time
to play the philosopher.
Don't worry, I've been through
a lot worse than this...
You can find Buddha in the
gearbox of a motorbike...
Or in the petals of a flower,
like you.
Don't be afraid.
I don't believe in these things.
I'm scared.
Relax, I'm here.
Now listen the sound with your eyes...
And watch the movements
with your ears.
Stay here,
and don't move.
I'll check it out.
I'll be right back.
There was no one there.
- Let's go, I'm scared.
- I don't think they'll be back.
I hope not.
- We should wait until tonight.
- Yes.
Okay.
Are you scared of me?
Me, scared?
- Why today?
- I don't know...
Perhaps to exorcise her death.
- But I...
- Quiet!
Hold me close.
- I'm fed up of waiting.
- The diary isn't at her place...
We have to wait for them to leave,
they'll lead us to it.
"Elizabeth, it's me.
I've been waiting for your call..."
"Why didn't you call?
It's all ready, I'm waiting."
No, wait!
"This is 64-92-00-35..."
"I'm not at home,
leave a message after the tone."
"We know you're at home,
come down and give us what we want."
"Or we're coming up."
We have to get out of here,
they're serious.
Did Elizabeth ever talk to
you about Wilma?
Wilma? Yes.
I went there once with her...
We had to bring her something,
it might have been drugs...
It was an old villa,
she had money when she came out...
I waited by the entrance,
I didn't go inside.
- Is it a house by a lake?
- Yes.
I'll get the car,
I'll try to go over the balcony...
You get dressed, stand by
the window, then come down.
Okay, I'll do it.
Yes, this is it.
We need to find a boat.
Over there.
Let's go.
I think we lost them.
- Slow down, we're almost there.
- If I'm not mistaken, it's over there.
Yes, look, there it is.
Where are they?
Pull over.
Finally.
Let's take a look down there.
- Does it hurt a lot?
- No, I'm okay.
"Come up.
The stairs in front of you."
"Please, don't be afraid."
Who is it?
Elizabeth?
Elizabeth, is that you?
Answer me.
No, Wilma,
it's Anna.
Anna...
Who's with you?
- My name's Marco.
- Yes, I remember...
- You came here once with Elizabeth.
- Yes, that's right.
What is it?
Has something happened?
Yes...
Elizabeth is dead.
- Perhaps it's what she wanted.
- What do you mean?
- Someone killed her!
- As if you didn't know...
She took drugs with me.
Don't tell me you didn't know.
What did her habit have
to do with you?
Perhaps she wanted revenge...
I was driving the car that day...
It's my fault your father is dead.
That's what you think, too.
Yes, that's right Wilma.
I never hated you for this...
But I certainly didn't love you.
It's different for people like us...
- You go that way.
- Okay.
Do you know what they gave me to
relieve the pain after the accident?
Morphine!
- Yes, lots of sweet morphine.
- That was a long time ago.
And you know it.
We all make our own decisions.
But Elizabeth?
A strung out dealer.
I was a blind drug addict,
and she was my dealer...
All top quality merchandise.
She would buy my shells.
They're the only things I hold dear.
Listen.
It's the sound of the ocean.
Take it.
Wilma, Elizabeth is dead.
Do you understand? They killed her!
So what?
She tried to kill me with a cut dose.
She wanted to leave me, she thought she
could get away with her foolish blackmail.
They're after me now!
They're looking for a diary.
I persuaded her to give me all
the drugs hidden in the raincoat...
I promised her a tidy sum
in exchange...
How on earth did she think she
could get away with it?
You!
It's your fault!
We were both on drugs on
the day of the accident...
It was my first time.
- I had no idea.
- She persuaded me.
I only gave her part of the
money the other night...
And I made her believe she'd get
the rest when the bank opened.
Where is Elizabeth's diary?
It's hidden in the hut,
where she always hid her things.
Where are you?
Anna, don't leave me alone.
Where are you?
Do me first.
I want to do it myself.
I want to end it now.
Untie it now.
I'm...
...a bit tired.
