Oskar weighs his options. If he fights back, he will probably be killed; otherwise at worst he will lose an eye. Deciding to accept the lesser evil, he meekly wades over to Jimmy. Jimmy grabs Oskar by the hair, advises him to take a deep breath, counts down the seconds from five to zero and then forces Oskar's head under the water. After about thirty seconds, the other three boys begin to get nervous. Andreas sits down by the side of the pool some distance away and starts to cry. Conny calls to Jimmy and Martin says, "Conny, let's get out of here!" but Jimmy tells them both to shut up. Oskar's last thought before he passes out is that when the three minutes have expired, Jimmy will pull him out of the pool, revive him and then poke out one of his eyes. Even with only one eye, life will still be worth living.
Oskar comes to as he is being lifted out of the water - not by Jimmy but by Eli. Climbing out of the pool, he sees three dead bodies on the side of the pool and one boy, Andreas, sitting nearby, unharmed. Jimmy's body, which is missing the head and one arm, is lying in a pool of blood. When the teacher returns, he finds the bodies, but the blood has mysteriously disappeared.
