Safrom

“After the massacre, the man fled…”

“His doctor states that he's a dangerous guy…”

“But his prescribed therapy should have kept his frenzy under control.”

“He probably stopped taking his medicine.”

“We have an update: The victims of this madness are now 8.”

“Even the man's eldest son, the only one still alive, has just died in hospital.”

Fucking radio…

Hello?

I'm fine. And you?

Listen, I don't give a shit.

Because she exaggerated…

I'm a nice guy, I can resist, but at a certain point, I explode.

What?

Listen, I really don't care.

No.

I'm not smoking. I stopped.

I'm driving.

I can't spend my life quarreling with a girl, who wants to change me.

I can't talk about movies or take her to the theatre, because it bores her.

I can't wear jeans, because they're not elegant.

She even tried to make me eat artichokes, and I hate them!

It's not funny…

What? Sorry, I got distracted. There was a car on the road…

Listen, I don't care…

I need this holiday to forget everything.

My job, my ex girlfriend, the town is boring…

I need to... I need to breathe.

Hello?

Hello? Do you hear me?

Hello?

The power of technology…

The radio doesn't work…

The telephone doesn't work…

Fucking nothing works.

“There's no hope! This is the end!”

“We're all screwed!”

“We're all going to die!”

“This is the end!”

“This is the end!”

MILITARY ZONE

Are you crazy?!

Keep your eyes on the road!

You were about to run me over!

I'm sorry. Ouch…

Fuck your excuses!

Are you hurt?

Don't touch me!

Calm down.

I'm sorry.

Sure you're alright?

Yes, I'm fine.

I'm sorry. I got distracted a second and…

You got distracted a second?

Yes, there was a crime novel on the radio…

A crime novel on the radio!? You're an idiot!

I said I'm sorry.

What are you doing here?

My car broke down.

I was on my way to work.

Well, you could have avoided running into me.

I could have avoided running into you?!

You have to keep your eyes on the road!

If there was a child, you would have killed him!

Okay, I was joking. Sorry.

Where were you going?

To look for help.

No one passed for half an hour. Then I saw your car.

I wanted to ask you for a lift…

And you were about to run me over.

I'll try and make it up.

Can I give you a lift, Miss?

I don't accept lifts from strangers.

I'm Max.

Sara.

Hi, Sara.

Hi, Max.

Some water?

No.

You smoke?

No… I stopped.

So, what are you doing in this wilderness?

I work here.

What kind of work?

It's complicated…

Explain yourself…

I can't.

Why not? What are you? A spy?

What about you?

What?

What do you do?

I'm not sure I can tell you…

You're also a spy?

I'm a broker.

An adventurous life…

No. Once, maybe… I used to be a private detective.

Is it a dangerous job?

You bet…

The major risk was to follow someone and find out that he was betraying his wife…or her husband.

I started working with a financial advisor. Things worked out…

So I continued.

And now?

Now I'm on holiday.

To be honest, I'm fed up once again.

It probably wasn't what you wanted to do…

I know.

But I'm getting too old to find out what I want to do when I grow up.

Don't worry.

We're all destined to do something. You'll find your way…

Thanks.

I feel much better now.

But don't change the subject. Why are you so mysterious?

What do you mean?

Tell me about your job.

I can't. I told you.

You like making fun of me?

No.

Alright.

I just finished University.

I'm doing scientific research in drugs.

I doing an internship in a lab

I have a confidential contract.

Go on…

This is all I can tell you.

A spy.

You're a spy, right?

License to kill and all of that…

I'm not a spy…

I told you: I'm a researcher.

Let's talk about something else…

Like what?

We talked about me, but we can't talk about you…

I didn't say that. I only said we can't talk about my job.

We don't know each other well enough to talk about other things.

Oh, I have an interesting subject…

Go ahead…

There's not much fuel left…

Great…

No need to panic, but I haven't seen a gas station for quite a while…

We'll find one sooner or later.

I just hope I won't be too late…

A laboratory here in the wilderness…

Does it have anything to do with the army?

Still going on with my job?

I'm curious…

About me… or my job?

Both.

It's a pharmaceutical industry.

I don't know much about my job yet.

You know, industrial secrecy…

Bad day for cars today…

Seems so…

Keep your eyes on the road!

You could run another driver over, looking for a lift.

The road doesn't seem full of cars…

What are you doing tonight?

What?

What are you doing tonight?

I'm going to a place you don't know, …

And you have to continue your holiday…

But my trip doesn't have a destination, so I can stop where I want.

In fact, maybe I just found my destination…

So what do you intend to do?

I told you: take you out to dinner.

I can't believe it…

It's easy: I'll drop you off, find a hotel in town…

…and wait for you to finish working.

Then I'll take you to a restaurant, and we can spend the evening together.

Do you always do this?

Do what?

Pick up the girls you try to run over?

No... Only the cute ones…

Can I refuse?

I could say no…

After all, you're in a stranger's car…

And he could be a madman escaping from a massacre…

It wouldn't be wise to contradict me…

You're right.

It wouldn't be wise.

But how do you know I'm a wise person?

What's that?

Looks like a fire.

This way. Turn left.

A road block…

Good morning… What's going on?

There's been a serious accident down there.

The road is blocked.

But I have to get to work…

Sorry, Miss. But you can't pass.

I'm very late…

Where do you have to go?

To Safrom.

The accident occurred right in front of the entrance.

You can't pass by here.

You have to go back…

…or drive to town and wait 'til things have settled down.

Shall we go for a coffee?

It's too late, anyway…

Let me give you some advice…

When you go to town, don't say you're going to Safrom.

Why not?
