I'm scared, Dad!

I'm scared, Dad!

Tell me. What's scaring you?

I don't think so.

Oh. What?

Some guy stood at the window for a long time, looking over here.

And neither would Alex.

I think he was watching me.

We need a plan to go on.

You work at the ministry. Can't they at least protect you, Dad?

This is about you.

And I don't think she would come either.

It won't help.

Are you sure?

Those bastards at the ministry! I hate them!

They also keep order...

If you hadn't saved me from that...

That's a beautiful order!

Please, let's go away.

Please, take me away from here. Let's go somewhere where we can be free.

Leave? Just like that?

You can't tell Mom about this.

...

She wouldn't understand.

Kim, you're wrong.

Oh, Dad, you're such a good person. But you also know that I'm right. Mom can't help it.

I don't give a shit about them!

It's just... they'll be heartbroken if we leave.

Maybe you're right.

I even think that Mom and Alex are better off without us.

We're only causing them worries.

Your mother likes it here.

Your mother loves you.

And if they come and find you here, it'll end badly. For both of us.

And so does Alex.

They're just trying to destroy you.

All right, I'll see what I can do. I'll ask a few people.

But it won't be easy.

I got the police off my back once... but I won't be able to do it again.

I know, thanks, Pops!

Yes, just go away. We'll leave this shit behind!

You're all upset! What's wrong?

Maybe you're right.

It's probably nothing...

The order that those up there stay in power and we down here have to shut the fuck up.

There was something in the apartment across the hall.

Oh! Ever since that policeman banged on the door, I've just been going into total paranoia.

I don't want to imagine that.

Nobody stays decent in this system, Dad.

No. It could have just been an old geezer with a peeping Tom problem.

The question is, do they love us enough.

But... what if it wasn't?

There are decent people there, too.

If he reported you, then...

Don't say that, Kim.

It was surely a coincidence.

... I think I would have killed myself.

Yeah, maybe you're right.

And Alex - he resembles your mother. You and me, we're different.

Surely just a Peeping Tom. And then maybe he called a sex hotline.

I don't know exactly what they would do with you in this camp...

Wait - he watched you and then made a phone call?

Dad, I sit here day in and day out in this empty apartment. Even Mom doesn't know that I'm here.

Yes, he picked up the phone.

...

That's bad, right?

We'll make our way across the border, abroad, where no one knows us.

Possibly, yes.

All they can do is fuck people up.

It's about your safety, Kim.

How long is this going to last?

They almost put me in jail once.

And they would probably still have been happy about it.

This time I'm sure I won't get off so easy.

It's forbidden.

It won't work legally, that's true.

This is not about me.

Oh, come on... In the ministry, if you make a mistake, you're gone quickly.

Did he really observe you? Are you sure?

Kim, if we talk to your mom, she'll understand that you need to get out of here and...

Maybe you are right. Sabine loves it here. She never doubts the decisions of the government...

But your mother is so attached to her position in the pioneer leadership...

I'm sure he just happened to look out when you were at the window, too.

But leaving the country is forbidden. Since the Greatest Travel Reform, only diplomats are allowed abroad.
