13) Ext. Gothenburg - construction site - sunset / night
Magnus wheels Ari's wheelchair onto a remote construction site. Ari is wrapped into a blanket.
They stop and wait until sunset to view the sun vanishing behind the horizon.
Ari
(laughs)
Our date seems like a really bad movie!
Magnus seems to be confused. He goes on wheeling Ari.
Magnus
What do you mean by that?
Ari
Don't get me wrong. I'm serious. It is just so... absurd.
Magnus
Yet it serves you.
Ari
No, Lazarus, you don't have to pretend anything to me... It serves us both.
They stop. Ari takes out a package of cigarettes and keeps it in his hands.
Ari
I mean, I cannot understand why you are doing this... there must be some deeper reason behind it.
Magnus
I just want to help.
Ari
(to himself)
Just help...
(aloud)
How many have you already 'just helped'?
Magnus
(deliberate)
I don't know.. I'm not counting.
Ari
Is it okay with you if I smoke?
Magnus
Yes.
Ari
You know, all losers smoke.
Magnus takes out his lighter and lights Air's cigarette.
Magnus
But not all smokers are losers.
Ari
Well! And which group do you belong to?
Magnus fishes his cigarettes out of his coat and lights one. Silence.
Ari
(sighs)
It seems I am a member of the first one. Since my accident a couple of years ago, I've only been able to bear all this by retreating into my dreams.
With anger in his eyes he hits on his legs.
Ari
But at some point it becomes clear, that it is just ridiculous, to simply jump from dream to dream...
Magnus
Let's go for a walk.
Ari
(quietly to himself)
Yea exactly. Go for a walk...
(aloud)
Good idea.
Magnus wheels Ari slowly over the construction site.
Magnus
When did you make this decision?
Ari
At first the only person who made my life worth living left me...
Magnus
A lost love?
Ari
No, Lazarus, no. You probably hear these kinds of stories all the time. But with me it's different.
(sighs)
Somehow he didn't actually leave me, he wasn't around often enough for it... to be like that.... How can I explain it? ... He stopped feeding my dreams... Yes, that is the best way to say it.
(pause)
However. As well as that I found out something. A few days ago. I found out that my biggest wish and only dream will never come true...
(pause)
And now nothing makes sense anymore.
(pause)
Maybe even this doesn't make sense anymore?
Magnus stops walking.
Close Up Magnus
Magnus gets afraid that Ari could change his mind. He is so tensed up that he clenches his fist.
Back to scene
Magnus
What you are doing is right, Soulwalker. You even mentioned that it cannot go on like this.
Ari
You are probably right.
Magnus
Trust me.
Ari
(sighs)
You promised it will be painless.
Magnus
As promised.
Ari
Just one thing Lazarus...
Magnus
Yes?
Ari
I have got something for you. It is in my flat.
Magnus
(astonished)
What is it?
Ari
My legacy. For you. But you will see.
Magnus
(frowns)
What are you talking about?
Ari
Here, take the keys. You will find it in my flat. Between the pictures.
Magnus takes the keys and examines them carefully before putting them into his pockets.
Ari
Promise that you are going to go.
Magnus
I promise.
Ari
I'm ready then.
Magnus smiles. Slowly he takes out a flacon.
Magnus
(quietly)
Drink this. I am with you.
Ari drinks the liquid which is in the flacon. He closes his eyes. For a moment nothing happens. Then convulsions are shaking him.
Camera: long shot
Magnus is standing right behind with both hands on Ari's shoulders. He holds him tight, looks into the sky and apparently enjoys the moment.
Back to scene
After a while Magnus takes out his notepad with the data of all his victims.
He consults his watch and extends the list: 'Soulwalker xx.xx.2007 04:21 poison'.
After that Magnus takes a deep breath. He carefully examines Ari's key again... puts it back into his pocket... just to take out his cigarettes.
Camera: long shot
He smokes and slowly goes away.
