700 angels trapped in the fire
Teenage
girls getting high on desire
Keep on, because it is painful
Keep on, because it is painful
Since you lied I have
been lost in a dream
People buy tickets
Just to look inside me
I keep on, because it is painful
Keep on, because it is painful
Come and look inside me
Come and look inside me
- The backstage pass please.
- What?
- The backstage pass.
- Uh, they're waiting in there for this.
I'm sorry. These are
the rules. The passport.
Thanks.
- This is a special moment.
- Hey.
Because today I am handing over
the company to my granddaughter Elle Tannen.
Nobody but me
understands Margo better than Elle.
She has lived in Margo's
world since she was a child.
The house
is not just a part of her life,
it is her life.
And I
know you're ready now.
Tonight we will
Witnessing the new birth of Margo.
The continuation of proven tradition
with the spirit of a new generation.
My darling.
Yes.
Hey.
Ben.
I'm not paying
you to stare. Come.
Congratulations.
- Thanks.
- I am so happy for you.
- You were gorgeous.
- Thank you so much.
There she is. The
new boss.
Abel.
Did I miss everything?
- Have you been drinking?
- What? No.
Hey!
Hey, hey, everything's
fine. He is my father.
It's good.
- Come on.
- Sorry. Sorry.
- It's all okay.
- Come on, I'll, uh, call you a taxi.
No, no, I can do
that alone. I... I'm sorry.
I congratulate you.
Yes.
- Thanks.
- Where to go with it?
- I can do it.
- Clear.
- Thanks. Um...
- Ben.
Ben.
Elle.
I know.
I've always loved it,
to touch the fabrics.
When I was little, I used to
sneak around to see the clothes.
The feeling of touching her.
The smell.
Now you don't have to
sneak up on me anymore.
Hello? Hello?
Funny. Last time there
was someone else here.
- Good morning, sleepyhead.
- Hey.
- I guess yesterday was a success.
- Mhm.
Your coronation celebration.
Just kidding.
Yes, it's crazy.
When the time comes suddenly.
I would have liked
to have been there.
It's nice that you're here now.
And have you thought about
something for today?
- Elle?
- Hm?
- Understood?
- Sorry, did you say something?
I asked how
you imagined your debut as boss.
I would like to know what's
going on with Chris Kessler.
- How come?
- He is still our finance director.
He's been on sick
leave for weeks.
Nobody reaches him.
Probably something personal.
Hmm. As the new managing
director, I should talk to him first.
Clear.
Oh. Elle.
- I hope I'm not disturbing you.
- Congratulations.
- Thanks. This is a big task.
- Yes.
I'd like to know what's
going on with you.
How are you doing?
Honestly, uh... I'll
inform the board that I...
...that I'm leaving Margo.
- We want to keep you in the company.
- I don't feel particularly good.
- I'm sorry, but...
- I'm sorry.
Good morning.
I'm really looking forward
to it, together with you
to open this new
chapter of Margo.
Don't pay attention to me.
Before we begin,
Unfortunately, Chris Kessler informed me
that he will not
return to the company.
What?
I can't believe that at all.
Um, unfortunately it is like that.
I was with him earlier.
Now we have to look forward.
That's why I want to make an announcement.
I want Thilo
a warm welcome
as Margo's new CFO.
Thanks.
We should have talked about this beforehand.
Is it good if we are married
and continue to work together?
- What?
- I'll get the same position somewhere else.
And I'll stay with my father on
the supervisory board anyway.
Don't get me wrong, okay?
I thought we were a team.
I need you here.
Mmm.
You know, I...
We should move up our wedding.
Why is that?
We don't have a problem
with premarital sex.
But I find the idea of you being
completely mine so incredibly sexy.
Hm.
- That sounded better in my head.
- Yes.
But feel free to pretend like we're
already married if that turns you on.
okay.
Not like that. I want a show.
- A show?
- Yes.
Okay.
okay.
Hmm.
Oh crap, it's my dad.
I have to get there quickly, okay?
Hey.
What?
What? No.
I've explained it to you 100
times. My hands are tied.
Yes.
No. No, you listen to me now.
Maybe, but I didn't know
that it should continue like this.
I'll call again tomorrow.
It doesn't work now.
Hey.
Hey.
- What were you arguing about?
- Doesn't matter.
I am your partner.
- Why can't you tell me?
- It's about... things.
Things my father wants from me.
Just look...
I want to build something with you.
You are the only thing that matters to me.
Mmm.
It's beautiful.
- We should have shown that on the show.
- We wanted to too.
But Margot said you should have it.
You?
What are you doing here?
I should, um...
I should get something
for Mrs. Tannen.
But not here.
Ask upstairs in the offices.
What is he doing here?
Is my new carer.
- What?
- Mhm.
He moves into the guest house.
That's not possible.
Why not? He was recommended to me.
And what should he do for you?
Maybe shopping? Massage legs?
- Why not?
- That's ridiculous.
I'll show you something.
I found this on the terrace.
Is that blood?
- So it wasn't you.
- Mama.
- I'm waiting...
- You don't know...
Can you stop?
What does that mean?
Someone is threatening us.
That's why I want him to be here.
You can't be here.
This isn't a joke.
You're not laughing either.
Doesn't seem to be your thing anyway.
I'm just doing my job,
as applied.
Then turn down the job.
That doesn't work.
Whatever it was with us,
it never happened.
Understood?
Good.
Hey.
What's up?
It's just this guy.
Grandma thinks he's good.
I believe.
I like you.
I believe.
- What is?
- Hm?
Nothing.
Good night.
Sleep well.
Who hired my
grandmother's security?
Good morning.
And?
That was me. His
name is Ben. Ben Noack.
One of my best people.
Listen, I need some
more information.
After all, he lives with us.
okay.
His mother Maria Noack is
dead. He never met his father.
I trained him.
- He prevented a kidnapping.
- Sure.
So why is he playing
my grandmother's carer?
Because he's a
professional. He does what he is told.
- Found him.
- Thank you.
Was upstairs.
He has a bachelor's degree
in philosophy. Talk to him.
- And you see what he's capable of.
- okay.
Hey, stop. Stop. Hey.
Let him go. Come.
He's already asleep. Hey.
- Everything okay?
- Yes.
- okay.
- Good.
Was good.
Is everything else okay, my boy?
Yes.
I'm relying on you.
Zofia told me a lot about you.
She meant, you would
tell me the details.
over time, before
you worked for her.
You mean juvenile prison.
Hmm?
For what?
Homicide.
I'm installing
a new security system.
The entire area is
under video surveillance.
When I hear that...
...I'll be with you
straight away.
okay?
- Do you know that Ben was in prison?
- Yes.
For manslaughter.
I don't find that he
looks like an assassin.
So we trust him, because he has beautiful
eyes and can install an alarm system.
Yes.
- What is he doing here?
- Margot is tired of his sweatpants.
Nope.
I need this for an event.
Belongs to you anyway.
Uh. Nice that you're here.
It worked this time, right?
Professor, do you like
the exhibition? Yes?
Wow.
- I'm just promoting our brand.
- Clear.
- Dad.
- Well, sweetie?
- I'm proud of you.
- Thanks.
Thanks.
- I'll get us a beer, okay?
- Yes.
okay. Good. Understood.
I never really
understood my father's work.
But this,
this... I like this.
It's kind of
staged, but... still so real.
Is not provided. Your
father didn't invent the store.
I know the club.
Bouncer job.
I also got other
job offers there.
Chic dress.
Nice suit.
You can still smile.
Why don't you do it more often?
I work for your family.
There's nothing to laugh about.
My father... I was supposed
to take care of his guests.
The good stuff.
Do you know, how long
normal people work for this?
Hm? Hey. Hey.
I asked you something.
That's good.
Relax yourself.
Hey. Everything okay?
Yes.
What did the thug want here?
Admire the art.
Why didn't you
come when he held me?
Are you serious?
Otherwise you wouldn't
want to that you will be helped.
Besides, you have Ben now.
Good looking guy, right?
What's this
supposed to mean now?
You're just as naive as your
grandma, who brought the psycho here.
You think it's good too.
Bite me.
Let's think about
the wedding again.
Too late.
You can't get out
of there anymore.
You need me.
What do you mean?
My father didn't just
lend Margo money.
He bought the company.
You lie.
Nope.
When?
A year or so ago.
You didn't come up with
the idea to tell me that?
Elle, it's just a company.
No.
No, Thilo, it's not just a
company. That is my life.
Your life?
Fuck you.
- I sleep on the couch.
- I'm away until the end of the week.
You can have the bed.
Have to get out early anyway.
She has lived in Margo's
world since she was a child.
The house is not just a
part of her life, it is her life.
Is that true? Does
Margo belong to the Wittes?
Just pro forma, temporarily.
And you gave her to me, without
telling me anything about it? Why?
That was a condition of salvation.
That you take over the company
a little earlier than planned
and are kept out
of financial matters.
That's absurd.
I can't watch
how my life's work vanishes into thin air.
- I am a puppet for you.
- You're not.
Everything okay?
Yes, it's okay.
Secure?
I don't even know you.
You can see someone
at the game in an hour
Get to know each other better than
you would in a year's conversation.
Did you just make that one up?
Plato.
Ancient Greek pick-up line.
Ben!
Ben!
I'm sorry.
Hey, princess, what do you want
here? You have no business here.
Then we're even. Neither
did you at the opening.
Fuck off, Mick.
She belongs to me.
Do you know him?
Yes. But that doesn't
mean I like him.
Hey, Ben, it's your turn.
Stick with the cage.
And if there's a problem,
then you go to Zofia.
- okay?
- Yes.
Fight.
Go! Go, go, go, go!
put pressure on. okay?
Fight.
Go down!
MMA training helped
me cope indoors.
- Philosophy?
- Oh well...
Studying also helped
combat boredom.
Still, unusual combination.
It's perfect.
You can someone with a smart
Finish the spell or knock it out.
And which saying
do you like best?
"Always fight for something,
never against something. "
What are you fighting for?
Like I said, just a saying.
All these promises
Promises to atone
Where did it all go wrong?
Before we lose
Before we lose our minds
Is there somewhere
we can go?
Anywhere that we
can go to carry on?
This fracture
Could revive us
It is only just begun
When we go back inside
Back inside this cauldron
Looking for a kinder face
Looking for a
refined box of tricks
Everywhere
Everywhere looks the same
We don't need another clone
We don't need another
face Let's have a new
This fractured world
Is dying
Ooh, ooh, ooh
But we won't
Give up trying
It's all on us,
it's all on us now
Give yourself away,
give yourself away
With all the passion
you could spare
Give yourself away,
give yourself away
With all the love
Give yourself away,
give yourself away
With all the passion
you could spare
Give yourself away, give yourself away
With all your love,
it is all we have
This fractured world
Is dying
Ooh, ooh, ooh
But we won't
Give up trying
It's all on us,
it's all on us now
Yes?
Hello. Elle Tannen here.
I don't want to, that Ben
continues to work for us.
Sure, yes. I'll see
what can be done.
Hey. Elle just called. You're
fucking her, aren't you?
I don't give a fuck how, but
make sure that you can stay there.
Does your nervousness have
something to do with the bodyguard?
Do you want to talk
about something?
Have you ever been unfaithful?
Yes.
- And did you feel guilty?
- Yes. I had.
But you know...
They shouldn't stop
you to live your life.
I'm incredibly proud of you.
What you have achieved.
And I'm glad that you're
not like me, more like Margot.
I'm not that similar to grandma.
Look, I have a problem.
What about the salary?
what I always got
from the company?
What do you think? Chris
Kessler always organized it.
I'm afraid you won't have any
influence on Margo's finances.
Did you know about
the Witte thing?
I thought it was no big deal.
Elle.
Elle!
We are a family.
But we are also
a company, a business.
And there's
a lot at stake.
For the company
and for the family.
Everyone has their role to play.
- You know your role, my boy?
- Yes.
Good.
Good.
Hey.
What is that?
I'll call the police.
- Let's talk to Margot first.
- Thilo.
Someone broke in here
and is threatening me.
Hey.
I'm back here now.
I could position someone
outside the studio 24/7.
Why not already?
He should
focus on our home.
Let's go to the police.
No. Neither the family
nor the company needs this attention.
True.
I don't want, that you're still
going somewhere without Ben.
Yes, that's not
necessary. She has me.
I don't need anyone
who protects me, okay?
I want to be alone here.
If you are my shadow from now
on, at least keep your distance.
Happy birthday, mom.
What's with the cheesy angel?
Is the only thing what I
still have from my mother.
The charge of manslaughter.
My stepfather.
I didn't want to kill him.
I came through the door...
My mother was lying there.
In her own blood.
She didn't move anymore.
I went at him.
Didn't stop.
But he deserves it.
One day we may find us
Like lyrics find melody
You will turn into music
And I will finally
Sing these lines to you
What are we actually doing here?
Shit.
I want to be one step
ahead of the times with Margo.
We know we will be wearing
organically produced clothing in 20 years.
We will make materials from bacteria,
fungi and algae to
develop biodegradable clothing,
making shoes and accessories.
Yes, I know, that's expensive,
but my company has a
duty to take responsibility
and drive development forward.
Of course, this
requires continuous
transparency, including with regard
to our finances.
But on a whole new level.
- Elle.
- Hm?
You have to discuss
this with me first.
Oh yes? I thought agreements no
longer had any meaning in this company.
It should be clear to you
that you are superfluous here.
You better worry, that you
won't soon be superfluous.
Clear.
Hey.
Shall we start again
from the beginning?
Just you and me.
Very far away, where
no one knows us.
Thilo, what's wrong?
You are the best, what
ever happened to me.
Think about the fight.
She's not for you.
You have no place in their
world. Don't kid yourself.
I don't do it.
...my company has a duty to take
responsibility and drive
development forward.
Of course, this
requires continuous
transparency, including with
regard to our finances.
What does Bruno
think about that?
This is exactly what
you should prevent.
- Ben.
- I should put pressure on Thilo.
What can I do about what
she's talking about, huh?
Dude, you're so useless.
And when it comes to women, you
could have learned from your stepfather.
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Get out.
I know you want a normal life.
And Elle is a great woman.
But you have to give them
up, You know that, right?
There's no easy way out, Ben.
Fuck off.
Finally leave me alone.
Uh!
Fuck.
Elle shouldn't be
dragged into this.
Fuck you. Fuck you.
- Hey.
- Hello, Elle.
Please give this to your
grandmother. But just you, okay?
Come in with me. She's
definitely happy to see you.
No, I... I'd rather not.
Take care.
What did he want here?
What happened?
- Is this one for me?
- No, for grandma.
- Come here.
- Elle.
Elle.
We still have something important
to discuss about the handover.
I would like to go to our house by the
sea with you tomorrow. Just the two of us.
It's only for a
day or two, right?
Yes.
Okay, Grandma,
what's wrong?
Why are we even here?
Abel is coming to breakfast
tomorrow. I need to talk to you both.
And about what?
I'm tired now, I... have to
sleep now. We'll talk tomorrow.
Show Ben the property.
Well then.
Do you want to be a bodyguard
forever? Does work make you happy?
What makes me
happy is to help other people.
So yes, ideally... I would
open a martial arts school.
I hope that works.
If I have to, I'll fight.
And you?
What makes you happy?
I'm not that good at it, To
make decisions for myself.
My life was clearly
predetermined.
What would you do
if it weren't for Margo?
Hard to imagine.
What am I to you?
The jury is still deliberating.
I love you.
- What did you do?
- Nothing.
I called the emergency doctor.
Good morning!
I brought bagels.
That's so terrible.
Where is Ben?
Isn't he here?
Please tell me what
was in the envelope.
Here. Pretend you're crying.
I discovered that we were
laundering money for the Zientek clan.
It has started when
Thilo joined Margo.
- Thilo?
- I couldn't believe it either.
When Thilo joined, there were
suddenly irregularities
in the accounting.
I couldn't believe
it. But it repeated itself.
That wasn't a coincidence.
What does he
have to do with the clan?
I'm relying on you.
The Zientek clan rescued
Witte International facing bankruptcy.
I didn't know it
would continue like this.
It's about things that
my father wants from me.
And when you came back from Paris, Thilo
suddenly stopped his
money laundering activities.
And that certainly rattles
the Zienteks' nerves a lot.
I can't believe... that
she just died like that.
I can't watch how my
life's work vanishes into thin air.
Please forgive
an old mule like me.
The buttons
meant a lot to us.
Like little messages.
I love you.
What are you doing?
I...
I don't know it.
Let's go to the
company tomorrow.
- This will be good for you.
- Mhm.
Thanks.
Hey.
Where the hell have you been?
Is everything okay?
I have to be alone tonight.
The alarm still works.
I have to tell you something.
You won't like it.
The Zientek clan infiltrated
me, to put pressure on Thilo.
And to keep an eye
on you and Margot.
What?
Why are you doing
something like that?
What power do
they have over you?
You don't choose your family.
Bruno Zientek is
my mother's cousin.
He was the only one who
was there for me in prison.
Even after that.
I'm sorry.
I want to fight.
Get me proof of your
connection to Witte and Margo.
I'll borrow it for
a moment, okay?
Jealous lover shoots a
couple just before their wedding.
Tragic.
But not surprising
given the previous convictions.
You let her go.
Why don't you shoot me?
For what reason?
You go into the den.
At least you're
useful to me again.
Nobody will believe you.
Not even me anymore.
Elle.
You were there.
I was there to talk to her.
Did you kill grandma?
What?
- No.
- Because of money laundering. Right?
No.
I didn't even touch her.
Grandma would never have given
Margo to Witte, she would have known that.
She... she... She
became totally hysterical.
I tried to talk to
her rationally, but...
But she freaked out and...
Then she collapsed.
Why didn't you help her?
Because I panicked.
Did you let her die?
Elle.
I... I was just hoping
that everything will be fine.
This damn money laundering.
No one should ever know that.
That's what they told me too.
After you returned
from Paris, I...
I wanted to continue
living my life with you.
What...
What do we do now?
We don't do anything at all.
You disappear.
Far away.
Somewhere. I don't care where.
start over again,
just like you wanted.
But without me.
No.
Elle, please forgive...
It...
I'm sorry.
What are you doing here?
I didn't press the panic button.
I find you that way too.
Always.
I wanted to thank you.
I wouldn't have
survived prison again.
What do you want to do now?
First, dive in.
Until the process begins.
And then I'll look for a job.
And you?
What are you planning
to do with Margo?
"Always fight for,
never against, anything. "
Right now I don't
know what it's for.
Maybe Margo will
die with Grandma too.
Something new.
I don't think it's that bad, not
knowing what will happen next.
Well then...
Thanks.
For everything.
Maybe I want to see you again.
Sometime.
I will be honest
I will be honest
for you, yeah, yeah
Yeah, and if we are talking
I am gon' tell you the truth

the company to my granddaughter Elle Tannen.
Nobody but me

Abel.
Did I miss everything?
- Have you been drinking?
- What? No.
Hey!
Hey, hey, everything's
fine. He is my father.
It's good.
- Come on.
- Sorry. Sorry.
- It's all okay.
- Come on, I'll, uh, call you a taxi.
No, no, I can do
that alone. I... I'm sorry.
I congratulate you.
Yes.
- Thanks.
- Where to go with it?
- I can do it.
- Clear.
- Thanks. Um...
- Ben.
Ben.
Elle.
I know.
I've always loved it,
to touch the fabrics.
When I was little, I used to

The feeling of touching her.

Your coronation celebration.
Just kidding.
Yes, it's crazy.
When the time comes suddenly.
I would have liked
to have been there.
It's nice that you're here now.
And have you thought about
something for today?
- Elle?
- Hm?
- Understood?
- Sorry, did you say something?
I asked how
you imagined your debut as boss.
I would like to know what's
going on with Chris Kessler.
- How come?
- He is still our finance director.
He's been on sick
leave for weeks.
Nobody reaches him.
Probably something personal.
Hmm. As the new managing
director, I should talk to him first.
Clear.
Oh. Elle.
- I hope I'm not disturbing you.
- Congratulations.
- Thanks. This is a big task.
- Yes.
I'd like to know what's
going on with you.
How are you doing?
Honestly, uh... I'll
inform the board that I...
...that I'm leaving Margo.
- We want to keep you in the company.
- I don't feel particularly good.
- I'm sorry, but...
- I'm sorry.
Good morning.
I'm really looking forward
to it, together with you
to open this new
chapter of Margo.
Don't pay attention to me.
Before we begin,
Unfortunately, Chris Kessler informed me
that he will not
return to the company.
What?
I can't believe that at all.
Um, unfortunately it is like that.
I was with him earlier.
Now we have to look forward.
That's why I want to make an announcement.
I want Thilo
a warm welcome
as Margo's new CFO.
Thanks.
We should have talked about this beforehand.
Is it good if we are married
and continue to work together?
- What?
- I'll get the same position somewhere else.
And I'll stay with my father on
the supervisory board anyway.
Don't get me wrong, okay?
I thought we were a team.
I need you here.
Mmm.
You know, I...
We should move up our wedding.
Why is that?
We don't have a problem
with premarital sex.
But I find the idea of you being
completely mine so incredibly sexy.
Hm.
- That sounded better in my head.
- Yes.
But feel free to pretend like we're
already married if that turns you on.
okay.
Not like that. I want a show.
- A show?
- Yes.
Okay.
okay.
Hmm.
Oh crap, it's my dad.
I have to get there quickly, okay?
Hey.
What?
What? No.
I've explained it to you 100
times. My hands are tied.
Yes.
No. No, you listen to me now.
Maybe, but I didn't know
that it should continue like this.
I'll call again tomorrow.
It doesn't work now.
Hey.
Hey.
- What were you arguing about?
- Doesn't matter.
I am your partner.
- Why can't you tell me?
- It's about... things.
Things my father wants from me.
Just look...
I want to build something with you.
You are the only thing that matters to me.
Mmm.
It's beautiful.
- We should have shown that on the show.
- We wanted to too.
But Margot said you should have it.
You?
What are you doing here?
I should, um...
I should get something
for Mrs. Tannen.
But not here.
Ask upstairs in the offices.
What is he doing here?
Is my new carer.
- What?
- Mhm.
He moves into the guest house.
That's not possible.
Why not? He was recommended to me.
And what should he do for you?
Maybe shopping? Massage legs?
- Why not?
- That's ridiculous.
I'll show you something.
I found this on the terrace.
Is that blood?
- So it wasn't you.
- Mama.
- I'm waiting...
- You don't know...
Can you stop?
What does that mean?
Someone is threatening us.
That's why I want him to be here.
You can't be here.
This isn't a joke.
You're not laughing either.
Doesn't seem to be your thing anyway.
I'm just doing my job,
as applied.
Then turn down the job.
That doesn't work.
Whatever it was with us,
it never happened.
Understood?
Good.
Hey.
What's up?
It's just this guy.
Grandma thinks he's good.
I believe.
I like you.
I believe.
- What is?
- Hm?
Nothing.
Good night.
Sleep well.
Who hired my
grandmother's security?
Good morning.
And?
That was me. His
name is Ben. Ben Noack.
One of my best people.
Listen, I need some
more information.
After all, he lives with us.
okay.
His mother Maria Noack is
dead. He never met his father.
I trained him.
- He prevented a kidnapping.
- Sure.
So why is he playing
my grandmother's carer?
Because he's a
professional. He does what he is told.
- Found him.
- Thank you.
Was upstairs.
He has a bachelor's degree
in philosophy. Talk to him.
- And you see what he's capable of.
- okay.
Hey, stop. Stop. Hey.
Let him go. Come.
He's already asleep. Hey.
- Everything okay?
- Yes.
- okay.
- Good.
Was good.
Is everything else okay, my boy?
Yes.
I'm relying on you.
Zofia told me a lot about you.
She meant, you would
tell me the details.
over time, before
you worked for her.
You mean juvenile prison.
Hmm?
For what?
Homicide.
I'm installing
a new security system.
The entire area is
under video surveillance.
When I hear that...
...I'll be with you
straight away.
okay?
- Do you know that Ben was in prison?
- Yes.
For manslaughter.
I don't find that he
looks like an assassin.
So we trust him, because he has beautiful
eyes and can install an alarm system.
Yes.
- What is he doing here?
- Margot is tired of his sweatpants.
Nope.
I need this for an event.
Belongs to you anyway.
Uh. Nice that you're here.
It worked this time, right?
Professor, do you like
the exhibition? Yes?
Wow.
- I'm just promoting our brand.
- Clear.
- Dad.
- Well, sweetie?
- I'm proud of you.
- Thanks.
Thanks.
- I'll get us a beer, okay?
- Yes.
okay. Good. Understood.
I never really
understood my father's work.
But this,
this... I like this.
It's kind of
staged, but... still so real.
Is not provided. Your
father didn't invent the store.
I know the club.
Bouncer job.
I also got other
job offers there.
Chic dress.
Nice suit.
You can still smile.
Why don't you do it more often?
I work for your family.
There's nothing to laugh about.
My father... I was supposed
to take care of his guests.
The good stuff.
Do you know, how long
normal people work for this?
Hm? Hey. Hey.
I asked you something.
That's good.
Relax yourself.
Hey. Everything okay?
Yes.
What did the thug want here?
Admire the art.
Why didn't you
come when he held me?
Are you serious?
Otherwise you wouldn't
want to that you will be helped.
Besides, you have Ben now.
Good looking guy, right?
What's this
supposed to mean now?
You're just as naive as your
grandma, who brought the psycho here.
You think it's good too.
Bite me.
Let's think about
the wedding again.
Too late.
You can't get out
of there anymore.
You need me.
What do you mean?
My father didn't just
lend Margo money.
He bought the company.
You lie.
Nope.
When?
A year or so ago.
You didn't come up with
the idea to tell me that?
Elle, it's just a company.
No.
No, Thilo, it's not just a
company. That is my life.
Your life?
Fuck you.
- I sleep on the couch.
- I'm away until the end of the week.
You can have the bed.
Have to get out early anyway.
She has lived in Margo's
world since she was a child.
The house is not just a
part of her life, it is her life.
Is that true? Does
Margo belong to the Wittes?
Just pro forma, temporarily.
And you gave her to me, without
telling me anything about it? Why?
That was a condition of salvation.
That you take over the company
a little earlier than planned
and are kept out
of financial matters.
That's absurd.
I can't watch
how my life's work vanishes into thin air.
- I am a puppet for you.
- You're not.
Everything okay?
Yes, it's okay.
Secure?
I don't even know you.
You can see someone
at the game in an hour
Get to know each other better than
you would in a year's conversation.
Did you just make that one up?
Plato.
Ancient Greek pick-up line.
Ben!
Ben!
I'm sorry.
Hey, princess, what do you want
here? You have no business here.
Then we're even. Neither
did you at the opening.
Fuck off, Mick.
She belongs to me.
Do you know him?
Yes. But that doesn't
mean I like him.
Hey, Ben, it's your turn.
Stick with the cage.
And if there's a problem,
then you go to Zofia.
- okay?
- Yes.
Fight.
Go! Go, go, go, go!
put pressure on. okay?
Fight.
Go down!
MMA training helped
me cope indoors.
- Philosophy?
- Oh well...
Studying also helped
combat boredom.
Still, unusual combination.
It's perfect.
You can someone with a smart
Finish the spell or knock it out.
And which saying
do you like best?
"Always fight for something,
never against something. "
What are you fighting for?
Like I said, just a saying.
All these promises
Promises to atone
Where did it all go wrong?
Before we lose
Before we lose our minds
Is there somewhere
we can go?
Anywhere that we
can go to carry on?
This fracture
Could revive us
It is only just begun
When we go back inside
Back inside this cauldron
Looking for a kinder face
Looking for a
refined box of tricks
Everywhere
Everywhere looks the same
We don't need another clone
We don't need another
face Let's have a new
This fractured world
Is dying
Ooh, ooh, ooh
But we won't
Give up trying
It's all on us,
it's all on us now
Give yourself away,
give yourself away
With all the passion
you could spare
Give yourself away,
give yourself away
With all the love
Give yourself away,
give yourself away
With all the passion
you could spare
Give yourself away, give yourself away
With all your love,
it is all we have
This fractured world
Is dying
Ooh, ooh, ooh
But we won't
Give up trying
It's all on us,
it's all on us now
Yes?
Hello. Elle Tannen here.
I don't want to, that Ben
continues to work for us.
Sure, yes. I'll see
what can be done.
Hey. Elle just called. You're
fucking her, aren't you?
I don't give a fuck how, but
make sure that you can stay there.
Does your nervousness have
something to do with the bodyguard?
Do you want to talk
about something?
Have you ever been unfaithful?
Yes.
- And did you feel guilty?
- Yes. I had.
But you know...
They shouldn't stop
you to live your life.
I'm incredibly proud of you.
What you have achieved.
And I'm glad that you're
not like me, more like Margot.
I'm not that similar to grandma.
Look, I have a problem.
What about the salary?
what I always got
from the company?
What do you think? Chris
Kessler always organized it.
I'm afraid you won't have any
influence on Margo's finances.
Did you know about
the Witte thing?
I thought it was no big deal.
Elle.
Elle!
We are a family.
But we are also
a company, a business.
And there's
a lot at stake.
For the company
and for the family.
Everyone has their role to play.
- You know your role, my boy?
- Yes.
Good.
Good.
Hey.
What is that?
I'll call the police.
- Let's talk to Margot first.
- Thilo.
Someone broke in here
and is threatening me.
Hey.
I'm back here now.
I could position someone
outside the studio 24/7.
Why not already?
He should
focus on our home.
Let's go to the police.
No. Neither the family
nor the company needs this attention.
True.
I don't want, that you're still
going somewhere without Ben.
Yes, that's not
necessary. She has me.
I don't need anyone
who protects me, okay?
I want to be alone here.
If you are my shadow from now
on, at least keep your distance.
Happy birthday, mom.
What's with the cheesy angel?
Is the only thing what I
still have from my mother.
The charge of manslaughter.
My stepfather.
I didn't want to kill him.
I came through the door...
My mother was lying there.
In her own blood.
She didn't move anymore.
I went at him.
Didn't stop.
But he deserves it.
One day we may find us
Like lyrics find melody
You will turn into music
And I will finally
Sing these lines to you
What are we actually doing here?
Shit.
I want to be one step
ahead of the times with Margo.
We know we will be wearing
organically produced clothing in 20 years.
We will make materials from bacteria,
fungi and algae to
develop biodegradable clothing,
making shoes and accessories.
Yes, I know, that's expensive,
but my company has a
duty to take responsibility
and drive development forward.
Of course, this
requires continuous
transparency, including with regard
to our finances.
But on a whole new level.
- Elle.
- Hm?
You have to discuss
this with me first.
Oh yes? I thought agreements no
longer had any meaning in this company.
It should be clear to you
that you are superfluous here.
You better worry, that you
won't soon be superfluous.
Clear.
Hey.
Shall we start again
from the beginning?
Just you and me.
Very far away, where
no one knows us.
Thilo, what's wrong?
You are the best, what
ever happened to me.
Think about the fight.
She's not for you.
You have no place in their
world. Don't kid yourself.
I don't do it.
...my company has a duty to take
responsibility and drive
development forward.
Of course, this
requires continuous
transparency, including with
regard to our finances.
What does Bruno
think about that?
This is exactly what
you should prevent.
- Ben.
- I should put pressure on Thilo.
What can I do about what
she's talking about, huh?
Dude, you're so useless.
And when it comes to women, you
could have learned from your stepfather.
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Get out.
I know you want a normal life.
And Elle is a great woman.
But you have to give them
up, You know that, right?
There's no easy way out, Ben.
Fuck off.
Finally leave me alone.
Uh!
Fuck.
Elle shouldn't be
dragged into this.
Fuck you. Fuck you.
- Hey.
- Hello, Elle.
Please give this to your
grandmother. But just you, okay?
Come in with me. She's
definitely happy to see you.
No, I... I'd rather not.
Take care.
What did he want here?
What happened?
- Is this one for me?
- No, for grandma.
- Come here.
- Elle.
Elle.
We still have something important
to discuss about the handover.
I would like to go to our house by the
sea with you tomorrow. Just the two of us.
It's only for a
day or two, right?
Yes.
Okay, Grandma,
what's wrong?
Why are we even here?
Abel is coming to breakfast
tomorrow. I need to talk to you both.
And about what?
I'm tired now, I... have to
sleep now. We'll talk tomorrow.
Show Ben the property.
Well then.
Do you want to be a bodyguard
forever? Does work make you happy?
What makes me
happy is to help other people.
So yes, ideally... I would
open a martial arts school.
I hope that works.
If I have to, I'll fight.
And you?
What makes you happy?
I'm not that good at it, To
make decisions for myself.
My life was clearly
predetermined.
What would you do
if it weren't for Margo?
Hard to imagine.
What am I to you?
The jury is still deliberating.
I love you.
- What did you do?
- Nothing.
I called the emergency doctor.
Good morning!
I brought bagels.
That's so terrible.
Where is Ben?
Isn't he here?
Please tell me what
was in the envelope.
Here. Pretend you're crying.
I discovered that we were
laundering money for the Zientek clan.
It has started when
Thilo joined Margo.
- Thilo?
- I couldn't believe it either.
When Thilo joined, there were
suddenly irregularities
in the accounting.
I couldn't believe
it. But it repeated itself.
That wasn't a coincidence.
What does he
have to do with the clan?
I'm relying on you.
The Zientek clan rescued
Witte International facing bankruptcy.
I didn't know it
would continue like this.
It's about things that
my father wants from me.
And when you came back from Paris, Thilo
suddenly stopped his
money laundering activities.
And that certainly rattles
the Zienteks' nerves a lot.
I can't believe... that
she just died like that.
I can't watch how my
life's work vanishes into thin air.
Please forgive
an old mule like me.
The buttons
meant a lot to us.
Like little messages.
I love you.
What are you doing?
I...
I don't know it.
Let's go to the
company tomorrow.
- This will be good for you.
- Mhm.
Thanks.
Hey.
Where the hell have you been?
Is everything okay?
I have to be alone tonight.
The alarm still works.
I have to tell you something.
You won't like it.
The Zientek clan infiltrated
me, to put pressure on Thilo.
And to keep an eye
on you and Margot.
What?
Why are you doing
something like that?
What power do
they have over you?
You don't choose your family.
Bruno Zientek is
my mother's cousin.
He was the only one who
was there for me in prison.
Even after that.
I'm sorry.
I want to fight.
Get me proof of your
connection to Witte and Margo.
I'll borrow it for
a moment, okay?
Jealous lover shoots a
couple just before their wedding.
Tragic.
But not surprising
given the previous convictions.
You let her go.
Why don't you shoot me?
For what reason?
You go into the den.
At least you're
useful to me again.
Nobody will believe you.
Not even me anymore.
Elle.
You were there.
I was there to talk to her.
Did you kill grandma?
What?
- No.
- Because of money laundering. Right?
No.
I didn't even touch her.
Grandma would never have given
Margo to Witte, she would have known that.
She... she... She
became totally hysterical.
I tried to talk to
her rationally, but...
But she freaked out and...
Then she collapsed.
Why didn't you help her?
Because I panicked.
Did you let her die?
Elle.
I... I was just hoping
that everything will be fine.
This damn money laundering.
No one should ever know that.
That's what they told me too.
After you returned
from Paris, I...
I wanted to continue
living my life with you.
What...
What do we do now?
We don't do anything at all.
You disappear.
Far away.
Somewhere. I don't care where.
start over again,
just like you wanted.
But without me.
No.
Elle, please forgive...
It...
I'm sorry.
What are you doing here?
I didn't press the panic button.
I find you that way too.
Always.
I wanted to thank you.
I wouldn't have
survived prison again.
What do you want to do now?
First, dive in.
Until the process begins.
And then I'll look for a job.
And you?
What are you planning
to do with Margo?
"Always fight for,
never against, anything. "
Right now I don't
know what it's for.
Maybe Margo will
die with Grandma too.
Something new.
I don't think it's that bad, not
knowing what will happen next.
Well then...
Thanks.
For everything.
Maybe I want to see you again.
Sometime.
I will be honest
I will be honest
for you, yeah, yeah
Yeah, and if we are talking
