Starring
A film by András Fésős
“You can’t beat death but you can beat death in life, sometimes,
and the more often you learn to do it, the more light there will be,”
To my Father
We, fairies can see into people’s soul,
and we see that your heart is big, and your intentions are pure,
so we give you a rainbow sword,
Give it to your brave knight,,,
who can defeat the evil dragon with it,
Félix, do you need help?
No, not yet!
Lili, Lili!
No, princess, don't fall asleep! Stay awake, Lili!
Your parents are waiting for you! Look at me!
The Princess of Winds headed for the dragon's castle,
with the rainbow sword,
Lili,,,
At the castle, she looked up and said, “I can't go in! I’m scared!”
Her horse replied, “Do not worry, I know a secret tunnel to the castle,”
Holding a magic candle, the Princess of Winds,,,
walked by the dragon’s room, and entered the castle,
She opened Prince Tamás’ room, and they hugged each other,
Can you keep her awake? Is she still alive?
Lili,,,
The ambulance is back, Can we go?
IN THE FACE OF GRAVITY
Adult Male, Liberty Bridge, Aerial rescue needed,
Unit 3 to the cherry picker, Félix is the commander,
- Félix, don't step on the cross beam! - I'm not stupid!
I want contact,
We are up!
We have reached the beam, Get closer! More!
More! Move the basket closer!
Get a truck to the other beam!
People in this city are wimps,
Nobody dares to jump,
This one is screwing around too,
- Just like the Eiffel tower, huh? - Yep,
- You shot these last week? - Uh-huh,
- You know the one-- - Yeah, I remember,
Wait, stop! Move that one!
As if he was fucking flying,
- We should see their faces! - Doesn’t matter,
The point is to see them fall,
It's off again,
Hi! Your last job is complete, What about your forensics video?
- Did you shoot that? - Yes, we did,
What about the police video I’ve shot?
We changed our mind, and didn’t air it,
No airing, no money, that's all,
- We agreed that you pay us everything, - Kristóf, don’t be childish!
Send me the police footage and the last aerial rescue,
It’s urgent! We’ll pay for those,
- We'll talk when I got everything! Bye! - But--
For four months, it's been raining for 4-5 days a week,
which causes a dramatic reaction in people,
Suicides are on the rise, Authorities can't cope with it,
They consider imposing new measures,,,
to manage the depression,,,
Good evening!
Good evening,,, Can I help you?
Are you looking for someone?
No, A friend of mine lives here, Gábor Beke,
He’s my husband, Why're you looking for him?
- Leave him if you don’t love him anymore, - Pardon me?
But if you don’t leave him, be more discreet,
I don’t care if you cheat on him, but this way, you'll kill him,
That’s none of your business!
Who do you think you are?
- Who are you? - His guardian angel,
Leave me alone!
Take care of your own wife!
Fire Department!
Your name and the address, please, What exactly do you see?
- Bálint! Is the commander here? - In his room,
Just a moment,
Come in!
Sit down,
I am told you still follow the people you've saved,
I don't want to apologize for my fireman who,,,
thinks he's a private investigator,
We agreed you would stop! I always ask you, but you continue!
Want some?
I've known you for ages,
Who ratted me out?
The stinkers who record rescues and sell them to TV stations?
Their videos are everywhere! On TV, YouTube,,,
The whole city is watching them,
Tell me,,,
How do they know what I do in my own time! They must follow me!
Find out how they learn about alerts!
Find out who leaks them,
Alright, I will!
Please, understand me!
I don’t want to go to court because of you!
István! Look,,,
I’m not hurting anybody, unlike those creeps,
You are right, but you must stop it,
Please, stop doing it,
Come in!
I'm looking for Captain Félix, We have an aerial rescue!
Despite the preventive measures,,,
taken by the Fire Department and the Disaster Management,
many people try to throw their lives away
in the circumstances prevailing in the city,
Both authorities are trying their hardest,,,
The entire Fire Department, and their rescue specialist, Sándor Félix,,,
take great efforts to--
They're coming down!
- That kid in a hoodie is here again! - He is on the top floor!
Márkó, come on!
Boys! The kid in the hoodie is coming down! Get him!
10-4! I’m on it!
Don’t let him flee!
He can only go that way!
Hurry up, boys!
He is safe,
Everything will be fine,
I’ll visit you in the hospital,
I promise,
Captain Sándor Félix just marked his 100th successful rescue,
It's impressive during these stressful conditions,
- Sándor, congratulations! - Thank you!
How do you feel now? Was it a hard case?
Each case is hard, Look, I don’t care about the numbers,
I don't want to compete, I just want to help people,
Who was this man? Why did he go up there?
I have told you that such information is confidential,
- Thank you! - Félix, wait!
Why are you scared of us?
If I hadn't seen you up there I'd say you are a coward,
Instead, I say you're a modest guy, Félix,
- Modesty is nice, - I told you what I wanted, okay?
The kid in the hoodie is gone,
All three cars can return, We have no injuries,
12, October, József Barabás, Suicide attempt,
Successful rescue, He was taken to hospital,
While unknown people filmed rescues and accidents illegally,
TV channels can only use recordings released by the police,
We asked TV7 program director about the airing of illegal footage,
Attila Kleber promised to investigate the cases,
Meteorologists and psychologists issued a joint statement, saying,
"We must act,"
They added, "We must not let despair take over,"
If you see signs of depression on your loved one,
call the Suicide Hotline,
Authorities claimed that,,,
the growing number of suicides are related to the rainfall,,,
How do you know where I live? Did you follow me?
We have our own sources,
I want to apologize on behalf of my colleague,
I heard how disrespectful he was to you,
You've known me for a while, Let me buy you drink,
Give me a minute, then I’ll leave you alone,
I've heard it so many times,
I host a TV show,“Ice and Fire”, I'm sure you know it,
but you don’t watch it, We'd pay you well,
- You could be a star, - Good luck!
Hey, listen!
- The same guy again?! - His wife should keep her eye on him,
13 October,
Kálvin Street, Gábor Beke, second rescue,
You again?
Why don’t you let me fly away?
You want me to die slowly?
Come on, Gábor! We had an agreement,
My wife will learn how much I love her,
- Is she not kind to you? - Sure, she is,
But she has an affair, I can smell it on her skin,
Smell what?
Another man,
Her skin smells another man,
What if you imagine it?
The truth can be simpler, Is it worth dying for it, anyway?
Have you talked to her?
- I lose her day by day,,, - I talked to her! I did!
And what did she say?
A lot, but I promised not to tell you,
She is not cheating on you! I swear!
- Are you sure? - Why don’t you believe me?
But you must fight for her, Gábor!
- Fight for her? - Yes!
Fight!
If I were you, I would,
Okay!
Please,,,
Believe me!
But if I go down again,,,
will I not be ridiculous?
No! Jumping would be ridiculous!
This way you win the fight,
You show strength, and she’ll see that,
Look into my eyes, Gábor!
I promise I won’t let you go,
Come on!
It’s okay!
It’s okay,
Let’s go!
Sándor!
You can take the cordon,
Sándor!
Hello! Just a moment! A few words, please!
I'll be right back,
I'll interview Sándor Félix, who you must know from the news,
Attention! We ask you to leave ground floor homes and basements,
- I nearly got caught, - No way!
The kid with a scooter,,,?
- That way, - Thanks!
So you are making our lives hell,,,
Is this your little studio?
And are you paid for this?
We do it for our fun,
Show me!
I say show me!
Stop,
Fucking funny,
Do you know who these people are?
- Or why they climb up there? - They are crazy,
Because they are in big trouble,
My dad is so fucking sensitive and empathic!
And you enjoy shaking that stupid camera?
- Like on TV, - Stop it,
Where’s the camera?
- It's my father’s, - It was!
You've received a lot of mail, son,
Do you still go to university?
Does it matter?
I’ll check them when you are away,
If I see you again at a rescue, I’ll call the cops!
Get out of here!
- Kristóf, did you hear me? - Go away!
What do you want? Money?
Just ask me, and you get it, But stop selling this shit to TV’s!
Kristóf, what about the police footages?
You’ll get them, if you pay for the ones you didn't air,
We made a deal, No rescue footages till then,
Are you blackmailing me?
Come on! My boss is going to kill me!
- We must air it tomorrow! - I'll think about it,
I didn’t know it was you who saved him,
I don’t want to kill him,
But if I stay with him, I will die,
Please tell me what to do,
Say something!
Lie to him,
Félix,
16, October, A man on top of a crane,
Who are you?
Sándor Félix, And you?
Imre,
I used to be Imre,
Imre!
Let’s talk honestly!
You don’t want to die, I can sense it from here,
Calm down, Imre! I won't even move,
I'll stand here and wait for the basket,
Come here, too, and we’ll wait together,
You can do it, come on!
Just don’t look down!
Look at me instead, Right into my eyes!
Imre! Imre! Believe me, this is not a game!
You know what happens, if you fall from here?
The water is hard as concrete, Your feet will come through your brain,
You're not a psychologist, are you?
I am not,
I expected a psychologist,
They used to do that,
but they talked so much, that people jumped in the end,
Imre!
It’s cold up here,
I’m thinly dressed, Are you cold, too?
I just,,,
,,,wanted to tell someone about my problems,
Talk to me about anything you want, but not here!
Nothing works out for me,
Imre, I don’t know you,,,
,,,or your life, but you must have a reason to come here,
But it’s not worth it, believe me!
Do you have kids?
Do you hear me?
At least this,,,
- ,,,this must work out! - Imre, no!
Imre, no! Imre! No, no!
The man who jumped off a crane hasn't been found yet,
The circumstances are unknown, but the fact is,,,
that Captain Sándor Félix, a specialist in aerial rescue,
made his first mistake,
We've tried to contact the fire department, however--
- I spoke with the water police, - And?
They haven’t found him,
Maybe the current pushed the guy under a pier,
- It is not my mistake, - Just a sec!
Hello!
If someone films a rescue again, you'll regret it!
Okay, but we can’t--
I don't care! Track it down! Am I clear?!
Take some rest now! When you come back, talk to the doc,
And if he signs the paper, you return, It’s the official way,
- Forget it, I want to work! - They will kick my ass! I need you!
You've been on call for weeks, Without a rest, you'll be dead!
You don’t have a license, I couldn’t let you up there!
Just go home,
István!
Kristóf, stop recording us! Understand,,,
if the cops catch you, you are in big trouble,
Can you hear me?
Say something!
Kristóf,,, Are you there?
Hello?
Sure!
Excuse me!
I haven't eaten since yesterday,
For years, you’ve been stopping,,,
people from committing suicide, without qualification,
You are lucky,,,
that you only met people in alarm reaction stage,
Why are you so sure about that?
Those who can be rescued, are in alarm reaction stage,
Take a pen and paper to take notes,
Alright,
Let's start from scratch, There are three suicide types,
The first is a timid demonstrator,
He arranges that a fireman helps him die,
Last time, you met one of them,
He needed you to take the courage and jump,
In such cases you should evacuate the whole scene, and,,,
,,,send off the police, as he only wants to demonstrate,
And without an audience, there is no show,
That’s how it works,
No notes? Am I too fast?
Okay, as you wish,
How many of your clients have died?
That info wouldn't make you happier,
Alright,
Are we looking at the same bottle?
Yes, but not in the same way,
Yours is the labeled side, mine is the other one,
We must share the same perspective, the same opinion,,,
to have a basis for negotiation,
Find a gap to peep into their minds,
Shall I give you an example?
I can hear your stomach growling,
What should I do?
I’m gonna give you some chocolate,
Just for you,,,
,,,I'll sign it,
Thank you,
- Goodbye! - Goodbye!
Why are you doing this, Kristóf?
Are you demonstrating that you need nothing from me?
I feel awful, I had a tough day,
So did I,
You know why, right?
Were you at the scene, too?
Where? What're you talking about?
You have no idea about what we go through,
It's awful to see when someone falls off, and I can't do anything,
What is awful, is that you can't talk about anything else,
What do you want me to talk about?
This is me, This is what I do, What else should I talk about?
You called me here, and you do not say a word,
- Tell me what you want! - Whatever! Forget it!
You're right, let’s drop this,
All right, I’m gonna pay,
Some cars drifted into the opposite lane and collided with the oncoming traffic,
Paramedics treated the man, who, after an operation,
is now in a stable condition,
Hey! I know you! I saw you on TV!
Let’s chat a bit!
Boss!
You're not a psychologist, are you?
The Reborn Club invites Sándor Félix, who helped us back to LIFE,
They talked so much, that people jumped in the end,
Imre!
It’s cold up here, I’m thinly dressed, Aren’t you cold?
I wanted to talk to someone,
Hi, dad!
I’m sorry I ruined your night, You don't know why I called you,
I wanted to see you because Mom died four years ago today,
I thought you still remember her, That she matters to you,
How can you live without her?
You believe it's normal to act like this,
You should teach me, too, Or you know what? Don't!
And thanks for the cola!
Answer it, Kristóf, come on!
Hello!
This is Sándor Félix, Does your offer still stand?
We are back! Let’s play a game!
Félix!
Today, I’m the one on the bridge,
How do you start it?
When I go up, I don’t know anything about you,
I only have a few moments to get to know and understand you,
- To understand why I want to kill myself? - Yes, exactly,
Looking at you, I’d have an easy job,
What do you mean?
It’s clear – you're overwhelmed,
Your face is too expressive to hide anything from me,
Oops! I’m busted!
You are right, Sándor, I’m not able to lie,
- I didn't say that, - But if you understand why I climbed up,,,
I understand but don’t accept it,
If you have waited for me, you haven’t decided yet,
That’s why you waited for me,
Would you take me down if I were a serial killer?
- Yes, - And if you knew I was going to kill?
- Yes, - What if I was terminally ill?
Or if I were to become a cruel dictator?
You don’t understand me,
I don’t rescue you because you are a nice guy, I don’t judge,
Your personality is up to you,
Let’s say, I hesitate, What do you say first?
- I feel your loneliness, - Suicidal persons are lonely,
Even an outsider could say that,
Did you say that to the guy who jumped lately?
Tell me about that case,
How does it feel,,,
,,,after a hundred fantastic rescues to fail?
How did you feel when he jumped off the crane?
The moment of failure,,,
You almost believe you can't go wrong, Then comes this guy,
Imre,
His name was Imre,
No,
His name is not Imre,
He is Gábor, He is as good at his job as you are at yours,
Our cameras recorded the fantastic moment,
Let's welcome the world champion stuntman, Gábor Felibe!
- Hello, - Hey, Gábor!
Please, take a seat! First of all, congratulations!
- An amazing jump! - Thank you!
We can watch it,
Incredibly scary,
Was this the highest point you ever jumped from?
Not at all,
I jumped from a viaduct in Nebraska, That was tough,
What’s your secret?
You must catch the right moment,
You pull your legs, then suddenly push them out,
I see, but I’m not sure I’ll try it,
Ladies and gentlemen!
Thanks to our show, Sándor Félix has learnt he didn’t make a mistake,
and didn’t lose anyone,
and is still the guardian angel with the most rescues,
- How could you do this to me? - What?
Ladies and Gentlemen!
Give it up for Sándor Félix!
COMMERCIAL BREAK
My secret is natural beauty,,,--
And again! The ad comes right at the best part,
Your Dad is a piece of work!
Hey!
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
Do you believe in fate, boss?
Obviously not, or you wouldn’t do what you do,
I recognized you! What is a famous man like you doing here?
I’ve beaten up another famous man,
That’s good!
Beat each other up! I like that,
They keep you busy, heh?
They jump down, right?
Let’s change the subject,
Sit over there!
You wanna know why folks jump?
Because everybody forces them to get higher,,,
What the fuck?
Must get higher, always higher,
But this is a flat and dull country,
It’s not easy to get to the top,
Yet everyone tries to do it,
I was on the top,
Believe me,
I mean it,
But I wasn’t satisfied, I wanted to get higher,
until I fell and,,,
,,,hit the concrete with my head,
I had 20 employees, Now I can schedule my cigarettes,
But I don’t always manage it, Give me one, boss!
I don’t smoke, boss,
You are right! Stupid cigarette!
Fuck,,,
It just kills me, I know it does, but I keep smoking,
We can't be saved, boss,
Say, officer, would you give a Marlboro to an old cowboy?
Chill, you’ll get one in the morning!
You fucking asshole!
We're done, going back to HQ,
Hi!
Good morning! That’s for you!
Thanks,
Everybody is talking about the show, About us, too,
They say you broke his nose,
Well, he started it,
It’s not that funny,
- Many think you discredited our staff, - Are you kidding?
That clown made a fool of us! And you blame me?
During the investigation, you are not allowed to work,
I’ll walk, Bye!
,,,by yesterday, the rainwater rose up at metro lines,,,
,,,covering rails, reaching platforms,
Water flooded stations--
Delicious!
,,,claimed that this catastrophe caused a serious mental and moral crisis,
Other planets may affect our weather--
I'm either inside or outside,
Free booze, You're cool, I'm honest,
I need my fucking smokes,
Hey-- Wait!
Boss comes here, too?
- Boss! - A drink, please!
Long time no see! Boss!
I got the solution for you,,,
We’ll send the whole mad lot to bungee jumping,,,
We set up huge cranes on public squares,
and folks can jump off as they want,
How’s that?
Don’t you like it, boss?
Bungee,
I’ve tried that once,
You know how it feels?
Like jumping from a bridge, you go up and down, but you never land,
That’s the point!
For free, like blood pressure checks,
The guy climbs up, jumps off and gets the vibe,
Freefall,
Five jumps, and he calms down,
Then the poor thing goes back to slaving,
See? I found you the solution! Give me a cigarette!
Brilliant!
I really like it,
But I still don’t smoke,
A girl is looking for you,
- What girl? - She’s been after you for days,,,
- Where is she? - There, but I think she's nutty,
What're you doing here?
Did you get my gift?
Sure, I got it,
You smell like home,
It reminds me of my father,
Alright, calm down!
You have strong arms,
I didn’t see that on the bridge,
Why didn’t you take me down in your arms?
It’s lovely, isn’t it?
I sewed the pocket so that you're always close to my heart,
Listen!
I am not your father,
Understand?
You said my dad won't die if I want him to live,
- Feels good, right? - Hey! Hey!
What're you doing?
Get lost!
I don’t want to see you again!
Ádám, thanks!
You tricked me!
What happened this time?
She told me everything, You knew all about it, right?
What does it matter?
It matters to me,
Have you asked your wife why she cheated on you?
You can still win her back,
What if she once slept with some guy? It’s easy to run,
To forgive, that needs strength, and she will see that,
But you still lied to me!
Is this your biggest problem now? That I lied?
When so many people ruin their lives every day?
Everyone has their own,,,
Stop whining! Just get her back!
Kristóf!
Hello! Where’s the pendrive?
We’ll talk only in person, The police are after us,
Whatever you shoot, it's your own responsibility,
- Got it? - Man on the bridge,,,
I can't believe this, tough guy,
- Didn’t know your father is,,, - Just a sec!
,,, on the right pillar of the Liberty Bridge,
Multiple calls, Aerial rescue,
I gotta go!
Unit 2, alarm! Gabi is in command!
Hurry up, before things get worse!
The basket can go up,
You can go!
Come on!
Félix, don’t be crazy! It's not your rescue!
I knew you would come,
It’s fine,
There’s still some time until the sun reaches its zenith,
A few minutes until I get to the other side,
Where do you want to go?
You must let me go,
Sorry,,, I can’t do that,
I’m beyond your laws,
- I’m leaving, The sun will be there soon, - Wait! Be careful!
Everything looks easier from above,
I’ll step into my own destiny,
People down there are so small,
They're fallible,
What are you singing?
Never leaves me alone,
What is this song?
I’m gonna slowly approach you, okay?
Okay, I’ll step back! See?
This stone is the promise of reunion,
- But I want to meet you down there, - Yes, I know,
- I can sense your will, - We’ll go down together, alright?
Okay?
For you!
The essence,
The essence of what?
That we can’t stay in a place forever,
You need to go forward,,,
Because it will pass,
No-no-no!
Return to HQ! Over,
You're out of your mind! You’re not on duty!
Why did you go up?
- I can't protect you like this, - Never seen anything like this,
Nobody wants to die like this,
This girl,,,
She was happy!
Enough! You're on sick leave for six months,
Then you come back and work with me, At my desk!
You’ll get an award,
- You already saved enough lives! - István,,,
Now take care of yours,
You can go now, Go!
Hello?
Is the search still on?
Kristóf, were you there?
Can I see it?
Why did she jump?
I don’t understand,
- I can't talk about this right now, -“About this?”
What else can you talk about?
People can die around you too, Dad,
Don’t be ashamed of it, It sucks to see this, right?
Why? Do you like it?
Are you proud of recording people’s death?
If I don’t record it, you are not here now,
You shouldn’t show them to the public,
- You have no idea what I'm talking about, - But I think I do,
You just have to face the fact that people die,
- My mom died, too, remember? - Please, stop!
Not now,
I don’t want to talk about it now,
When shall we talk about it then?
It’s crazy, When can we stop avoiding the subject?
- What subject? - The accident, Mom,
You know how she died,
Her cab crashed, right?
But earlier she called you to take her to hospital, right?
Yes,
Did you or didn't you go?
I didn't,
Why?
I had an emergency call,
In such cases, you don’t think, you just go instantly,
What do you want now?
Should I repeat it’s my fault?
Alright: it’s my fault,
It’s me, who didn't take her to hospital,
Your mother got sick because of me, Happy now?
You were never there for us,
Even then, you only cared about these people and no one else,
You can save 5000 people,
but you can never make up for this,
Give it to me, please,
Here, You got what you came for,
Now go!
I’m gonna slowly approach you, okay?
Okay, I’ll step back! See?
This stone is the promise of reunion,
- But I want to meet you down there, - I know, I can sense your will,
We’ll go down together, alright?
Okay?
For you,
The essence,
The essence of what?
- Hello! - Hello! Ah, it’s you!
This is a very interesting case,
First I thought it’s fluorite or malachite,
But after a thorough test I realized,,,
no such mineral exists, at least not that I know of,
- What do you mean? - Is the sanding done?
I have done the socket--
They called about coming for it,
- Good afternoon! - Hello!
How did you know I work here?
I didn’t, I brought a stone,
If you are here for my husband,
you waste your time, I moved out, We no longer live together,
It’s much better now, For both of us,
I am glad,
Sorry, but I am really here for the stone,
János is the best in town, Take your time, Bye,
So, I examined its crystal structure, and,,,
and couldn't find a fitting description,
Can you at least tell me where it is from?
There are areas in the world with certain minerals,
and we know most of them, But not this one,
Where did you find it?
It was a gift,
- Thank you! Goodbye, - Goodbye!
Tell me, what is so urgent?
How many years have passed,,,
You know me, I’m selfish, who only calls you in trouble,
That’s how I am,
Look,,,
I never cared about your conscience,
I only cared about you,
I miss our conversations,,,
I could escape the treadmill,
Back then, I made drawings, which helped, But I stopped,
How is my godson doing?
How big is that kid now?
He never calls me, We loved each other so much!
Kristóf moved out three years ago,
I am thinking about why I'm doing all this,
Who needs me?
2 days ago I lost a woman, She jumped off the bridge,
Yes, I saw it on TV,
First, I thought that they fooled me again,
But no,
That woman wasn’t even crazy,
She saw into me,
She was smiling!
When I was young, I loved hearing confessions, Mainly women,
To be honest,,,
I left the church because of them and Africa,
That’s where I became interested in the stars, too,
Women understand them better, They resonate with each other,
and the motion of stars,
They understand time,
How they do it, I don't know,
I know,,, it’s Zsuzsa,
As long as you think of her, she exists,
Forget your conscience, Focus on her, and do your job,
You are good at it,
Damn! I must take measurements in the metro,
Start drawing again! It will calm you down,
And have faith,
Because if you don’t,,,
I’ll kick your ass!
Bye,
Where're you heading, man?
There’s not a single soul out there within a mile!
Come forward, to the bow!
Come on now!
I think I got lost,
I don’t know the way back, Can I stay for the night?
You can sleep here,
- Do you have money? - Sure,
Because you have to pay,
I’m just kidding! Come on!
Come! Come in!
Do you like playing cards?
- Not really, - You’ll catch on!
Playing cards in fours is the best,
- Good evening! - We have a guest!
Sit down, man,
To him! To our guest!
- Cheers! - Cheers!
- Cheers! Welcome! - Cheers!
- So, - Cheers,
We’re playing poker,
So!
One,
two,
three,
four,
I’m out,
- No! One more game! - Hold on! I got a winning hand!
- Cheers! Cheers! - Cheers!
- New round! - No, I’m going to sleep,
Why the hurry? Is your woman waiting?
- No,,, - Let her wait, that’s her job,
Should I sing to him?
Come on!
I’m looking for a woman,
She fell into the water, From a bridge,
- Ophelia, - You saw that chick?
Did you really see her?
She surfaced at dawn,
I caught her,,,
- Then I slept with her, - What?!
- They took her when she started to smell, - Ophelia! You're such a jerk!
- She could be a mermaid, - If it was her, your search is in vain,
Go on, son,
A mermaid’s soul becomes immortal,,,
if a human falls for her and marries her,
Marries her,,,
Then the man’s soul pours into her, and she becomes human,
In an old tale, she wanted legs to walk and live on the land,
for she was in love with the prince,
The sea witch gave her legs,
took her beautiful voice and the mermaid became mute,
She couldn’t tell the prince that she loves him,
So, he married another girl,
The poor mermaid jumped back into the water,
She became a white foam,
But her soul lived on in the air,
She wanted legs, for earthly men would've disliked,,,
her beautiful fishtail,
Men are fools,
- They don’t know beauty, - I'm tired,
Forget it! Why crying for a girl?
What can you do with a girl with a fishtail?
Let’s drink some more! Let’s drink!
- Cheers! - Cheers!
Forward! A little to the right!
Right!
Keep it straight!
Don't let it swing!
More! More!
Need a ride?
Get in! I’ll give you a ride,
- Thanks, - You're welcome,
Is everything okay?
I see you're doing better,
Everything has been resolved,
Your recipe worked,
- What do you mean? - We made peace,
I see,
She came back to me,
Uh-huh,,,
You remember,,,
I was strong!
Strong,,,
Wait a minute! I,,, I live that way!
Come up to our place!
We’ll have a drink,
My wife would be happy, too,
You are almost family to us,
It all worked out because of you,
Okay,
We are here, honey!
Come in!
She must be in the bathroom,
I’ll let her know,
I have a bottle of tequila,
- Would you slice up the lemon? - Sure,
I’ll let my wife know,
No,,,
It was you,
You killed my wife,
See?
Now I could manipulate your fate as you did with me and Klára,
If you let me die then, she would still be alive,
How dare you decide on her and not on me?
Or on me and not on her?
Do you enjoy playing God?
What?
Why don't you answer?
Lucky me,
You would talk my ear off,
Now I took away,,,
your only weapon: your tongue,
That disgusting little piece of meat caused so much trouble!
Hm?
All that bullshit you spoke!
Filling the heads of the miserable losers,
who would've been better off if,,,
Now I will rewrite your fate,
You had,,,
an affair with my wife,
When she tried to break up with you, you killed her!
I arrived home at that moment,
Now I’ll call the police,
Hello?
Emergency call, What can I help you with?
Hello,
Tell me your name, please! Name, address,
Can you hear me? Are you still there?
I want to report a murder,
Sir, your name, and address,,, Hello? Are you still there? Sir?
The address,,,
Yes, continue,
The address,,,
Listening,,,
Kálvin street 4-6,
6th floor, number 8,
I won’t be like you,
I won’t go that low,
You carry on, if you want to,
Keep living,
keep lying,
keep on destroying,
There must be somebody like you,,,
But obviously,
I won’t intervene,
I’m only doing,,,
,,,what’s inevitable,
You can’t stop me,
I won’t cause a traffic jam on the bridge,
Fuck you, Beke!
Stupid little bitch!
Fuck you! And you, and you!
Stupid bastards!
Man on the bridge! I repeat, man on the bridge!
Which district? The 6th and 22nd also have emergency,
Sorry, which bridge?
I understand, ma’am, Sorry, just a moment!
Félix!
Thank god, you're here!
We have a lot of alarms, we need you,
- Send someone else, - I called everyone in,
Put on the uniform!
That's an order!
I won’t go up anymore,
You are leaving in a minute,
What's that supposed to mean?
It means that I’m done,
I thought that's my calling and I'm good at it, I was wrong,
I ruined everything,
What's all this bullshit?
I don't know what to tell them anymore,
We’ll talk about that later, Let’s go!
I hoped to solve their problems,
And my problems? Who will fix them?
Would you let them die?
I let those who really want to leave,
What difference does it make?
Bye!
I never want to see you again, ever,
Félix!
Are you crazy? Where are you going? Félix!
Félix! Your son is on the bridge!
2 to 57, Klapka Road, right? Over,
8 going to district 11, In 8 minutes, over,
Dispatch, we approach D11--
The truck is on its way!
Félix, you can't climb up there!
- Call for reinforcements! - Hurry!
Let the cars go!
Kristóf!
Why did you do this?
Why did you climb up here? Please, answer!
It's dangerous up here,
We haven't had a talk in a long time,
We could give it another try,
May I sit next to you?
Yeah, come here,
I was unable to talk about your mom,
I couldn't let go of my guilt,
I was ashamed,
You know, I was afraid that,,,
,,,if this feeling passes,,,
,,,if I get over it,,,
,,,then I will forget her,
Forgive me!
One time, you and mom took me to a lookout tower,,,
and when we got up, I got really scared, remember?
Yes,,,
As a kid, you were scared of heights,
You got really scared!
You told me a tale,,,
,,,of a brave knight,,,
,,,and a Princess of Winds,
It wasn’t me,
Your mum told you that tale,
I took you down in my arms,
I remember that very well,
Dad,,,
Go on,,,
We should get down somehow,
Should we climb?
Or will you take me in your arms?
Well,,,
I didn't know it's so quiet up here,
