MUSEUM ISLAND
[woman] Discovering a real treasure
is one of those childhood dreams
you never really let go of,
even as an adult, right?
Okay, hands up, and, guys, be honest:
Have any of you here got
a metal detector at home?
- Like some probe, or Yeah?
- [man] Yeah!
Then many of you
already know that this treasure right here
was found by an amateur metal detectorist
from Fichtenwalde
in a potato field by the Havel.
We're talking about a half-imperial
Catherine the Great from the year
Seventeen Eighty.
Now, fun fact, there are only
two other known examples of this coin.
It's valued at about three million euros.
- [man 1] Hey! All of you, move it!
- [man 2] Move, move!
- [man 1] Out of the way!
- [crowd screams]
- Move it!
- [man 2] Break that shit! [grunts]
Come on, smash it!
[men grunt]
[screaming continues]
[man 2] Come on!
- Grab it!
- [man 1] Let's go!
- [man 3] Hey! Stop!
- [man 2] Go, go!
[woman] Police!
We need the police right away!
[man 1] Back off,
you son of a bitch, or I'll fuckin' shoot!
- Put the gun away!
- [man 2] Don't fuckin' move!
[man 1] Go, go!
- [man 3] Hey! Stop! Come back here!
- [man 1] Go! Go!
- [man 3] Stop! Freeze!
- [man 1] Go, go, go, go, go!
[dramatic music playing]
- [man 1] Faster!
- [man 2] Oh, fuck!
- [man 2] No!
- [man 4] What the fuck?
- [man 2] Move! Move! Out of the way!
- [woman screams]
[panting]
[people screaming and shouting]
[woman 2] Hello!
[dramatic music continues]
[man 2] Run, bro. Run!
- [women screaming]
- [man 1] Move, move!
- [man 5] Asshole!
- [man 1] Come on!
- [man 1] Come on, come on!
- [man 2] Drive, you bastard! Drive!
[tires screeching]
- [man 2] Floor it! Faster, asshole!
- [engine revs]
[man 2] Fucking mask! [grunts]
[panting]
- My lungs are fucked!
- [both groan]
- [laughs loudly]
- [breathes heavily]
- [man 1] We fuckin' did it!
- [screams]
- Jackpot!
- [man 1] Yeah!
- Jackpot!
- Yeah!
- Yeah!
- Yeah!
- That's what I'm talking about!
- Show me! Show me!
- Take it out.
- [pants]
[man 2] Here. We're rich, bro.
- [man 1] Yeah.
- [man 2] We're rich.
[both panting, laughing]
[coin spins, clatters]
- [music fades]
- [birds squawking]
- [upbeat music playing]
- [cars honking]
- [woman] What do they use it for?
- [man] You're the one.
[man] Wait a minute,
you're the vet here. [laughs]
[laughs] That's what I think.
- That's my final answer.
- [laughs]
The big cats are this way?
- [woman] You wanna know?
- Sure.
- They use it to get high.
- [boy] There's a panda! So cute!
- Jonas? Monkeys next?
- [Jonas] Wow, look at the
- I can tell you about them
- [man laughs]
[animals screeching]
And this is the Japanese macaque.
Their actual habitat is snowy,
and they bathe in these
insanely hot springs.
- Like you do in our bath.
- We don't have a bath.
- He's in a good mood.
- Mm-hmm.
[Jonas] Hey!
It's no use! I can't see any monkeys,
just a bunch of butts.
Someone needs a hit of something sweet.
Some ice cream or something?
- I think they have a stand over there.
- [Jonas] Come on!
Or maybe we see some big cats.
Not today. It's closed.
Uh [smacks lips]
I mean, of course, we could just
stumble into it, you know?
It's possible. It could happen.
And I'm a total klutz, so
- It could happen.
- Mm-hmm.
Just like that?
Just like that.
It was a joke.
- Very funny.
- Isn't it?
Yeah.
What a waste of time. I'm going home.
These monkeys are stupid.
Huh.
- What?
- Nothing.
[upbeat music playing]
Jonas!
[sighs]
[music intensifies]
[lock snaps]
Come on.
- Come on, come on!
- [whispering] Okay, okay!
- [door slams]
- [music ends]
[Jonas] Wow!
[soft music playing]
[Jonas] Wow.
[leopard growls]
[Jonas] Could you treat one of them, too?
[woman] Actually, I already did,
during my residency.
[Jonas] Wow.
He looks stressed.
[woman] Mm-hmm. He is.
You know, his hunting grounds are
as big as Berlin City Center.
And here, he's totally under stimulated.
[leopard growls]
[growling]
[tapping on glass]
[suspenseful music playing]
[growling]
[door opens]
Hello?
[whispering] Hey! Go, go, go!
[woman whispers]
Come on, come on! Get out, quickly!
[guard] Hello?
[upbeat music playing]
- [woman whispers] Let's go.
- [Jonas giggles]
- Wait.
- [man] Hey.
["Blaulicht und Zwielicht"

Hey, walk slow. Keep your eyes forward.

Markovic Locksmiths. Good evening.
[man] I'm Krepper.
Are you the guy who can get any door open?
Yeah, that's me.
Great, how long to get to Wedding?
Um [smacks lips]
I think maybe 15 minutes or so.
- Alright, I'll wait by the bowling alley.
- Great, man. I'll see you there.
Just text me all the details,
would you please?
- Please hurry, I can't stand here forever.
- I'll be right there. No problem.
SECURITY SYSTEMS &
EMERGENCY LOCKSMITH
["Blaulicht und Zweilicht" stops playing]
[wheels rolling]
Good evening. Markovic.
- Ah.
- I'm the locksmith.
- Finally. We spoke on the phone, right?
- Right. Hello.
Okay, so, this is annoying.
My colleague locked the door and my keys
are in there. He didn't think about that.
So now I'm standing here
and can't reach him.
Yeah. The can opener inside the can, huh?
Ha, yeah, that's funny.
- Use that line often?
- [laughs] Nah, first time.
We can do this.
- Without breaking anything?
- Yes, of course.
- [Krepper] Huge case you've got there.
- Yeah.
You never know
what you'll come up against.
I mean, it's just a door, right?
[scoffs] That's what they all say.
Let's have a look.
Uh-huh.
[rhythmic music playing]
[whistling]
[tools rattling]
Open sesame.
That was quick. Thanks!
- Yeah.
- Nice.
- That's what we're here for.
- Come in. I need my wallet.
It'll be quick. Come on.
Come on.
Oh, talk about your fixer-upper.
Yeah. Previous owners went bust.
- Maybe it was the color scheme.
- [Markovic laughs]
And you're reopening it, right?
[Krepper] We've rented the place
for a few days.
For a project.
[ominous music playing]
Long time no see, Panther.
[Markovic] Stepan?
What's going on?
What do you want from me?
You remember Nero.
And you already met Henning.
[ominous music continues]
Stepan, I told you I was done with you.
This has to stop.
A few minutes, Charly. A few minutes.
- Hmm?
- [Henning] We'll pay your locksmith fee.
I don't give a shit, asshole.
I don't want any part of this.
[gun cocks]
Are you serious?
Stepan. Can you tell your psychopath son
to let me fucking pass him?
Charly. Charly.
Please just let me explain.
Hear him out.
[yelling] You're gonna listen!
And what if I don't want to be convinced?
Come. Come.
Well, go on.
Relax. Relax.
[sighs] Ah.
A little childhood passion of mine.
Model making.
Okay
There's a nail salon here on Treifstraße,
near the supermarket.
- [rhythmic music playing]
- [city bustling]
[Henning] There you can get
a shiny new set of nails for 27 euros,
- all while under constant surveillance.
- [woman] Hey.
Why? In the back room there are
two armed men 24/7.
- It's shift work.
- Hey, stop acting like a samurai!
[both laugh]
[Henning] Why is that? Because this room
has access to the basement.
And in the basement there is a D-10 safe.
Out of everyone I know, the only guy
who can get to this safe
and crack it in time for us
is you, Charly.
The D-10 contains
about two million euros in cash.
Hash dealers, mid-level thugs.
This is their vault.
The good thing for us is that
according to this floor plan,
all these buildings
used to share a basement.
The basement was divided up later
with dry wall. That means
In between our nail salon's vault
and the supermarket's cellar is about
twenty-seven meters of insulation
and a bit of chipped wood.
The supermarket closes at 10 p.m.
You can jimmy the door,
we've just seen that.
The alarm system here is fake.
This would be our entry point.
[rhythmic music stops]
Into the supermarket,
back in through the wall,
into the vault.
Open the safe, and out.
- And what, kill the armed guards?
- No bloodshed.
Well, how, then?
- So? What?
- Huh?
- I told you that he would be like this.
- Shh!
- Didn't I say he would
- Shh!
[Henning] Gentlemen, please.
It's all quite simple.
The night shift guards are Kevin and Said.
Their shift begins at 10 p.m.
when the salon closes.
The night shift is long,
and Said gets bored very quickly.
Hey, where are you going?
- Bro, to the shitter.
- The shitter?
Fuck, I know what you're up to.
- Just give me 20, bro.
- 20? Fuck off, dude. Fuck off.
Said stretches his legs
at least once a night. He walks over
to the casino nearby.
[in Arabic] Peace be upon you, Baba.
[in Arabic] Oh! Peace be upon you, too!
[in English] Your usual vitamins?
[in English] Yeah, bro, yeah.
I'mma knock her up tonight.
[Henning] He's having an affair
with this one slot machine.
He thinks has the magic touch with it.
- [laughs]
- [Henning] After about 30 minutes or so,
Kevin also leaves his post
in the nail salon and goes to the casino.
He's angry 'cause it's his turn
for a break.
Hey, dude, what did we agree? 30 minutes.
Usually, Said realizes this
and goes back to his post.
Unless he's been on a winning streak.
- Bro, I'm having a good run here!
- Yo, what the hell?
- [Said] I just can't lose. See? Big win!
- [both laugh]
- [Said] Yeah! I fucking told you, bro!
- [laughs]
And by the time they realize,
we'll be gone.
That'll give us the time we need.
Or rather, the time you need.
You go in, get to the vault
[makes mechanical noise] Ding!
[imitates drilling sound]
Two million.
Only you can do it.
Nero will go with you. [sniffs]
Charly.
What was your usual rate? 10%? Hmm?
I'll give you 20%.
Four hundred thousand.
In two days.
In and out!
And you'll never see us again.
I promise.
[suspenseful music continues]
My answer's still no.
[Stepan] Leave him.
- You wanna go?
- Leave him!
- Come on!
- [Stepan] Leave him!
You've got no other choice. You know that.
[suspenseful music continues]
[sirens blaring]
- [music stops]
- [sirens continue]
Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck!

[suspenseful music begins]
I can't drive you
for two days after tomorrow.
- Why not?
- The Big Guy needs me.
I can't tell you any more.
You'll be back, though, right?
[Joe chuckles]
Oh, yeah.
[elevator dings]
Finally, you're here.
Come on. This way.
[hip-hop music playing in background]
[man] You're good? Yeah?
- This way.
- It's fine, Joseph.
[hip-hop music continues]
- [man 2] Who are you?
- Alina.
Come with me, Alina.
[laughs]
I'm glad you're here. Let's go in there.
[chuckles] Right in there.
These goddamn Kraut rappers.
Snorting coke
and fucking like roided apes.
- You got the benzos, man?
- Yeah, sure.
They'll fuck me up again
if I don't get any. Give me a little.
It's all there, as ordered.
Here, you don't need to count it.
- I heard the Big Guy is on his deathbed.
- Hmm.
[snorts]
[exhales] Man
All hell will break loose
in Vienna. [grunts]
Yeah, that's good shit. [exhales]
- It's 400 short.
- What do you mean, 400?
- The girl's included in what I gave you.
- Dude, 400.
Are you fucking kidding me? Here.
Four hundred. Give my regards to Red.
I'll show you out.
[man 2 shouts] Hey, yo! What the fuck?
- Did you just bite me?
- [Alina] Stop it!
- Alright, please. Time to go.
- Hey, fuck off.
[man 2] Where d'you think
you're going, huh? I didn't finish!
- Hey!
- [woman cries]
[man 2] Hey, give me your fucking mouth!
- Are you insane?
- Eat shit!
- [both grunt]
- [Alina cries]
- ["Troppo bella per restare sola" playing]
- [Joseph] Come on.
- Hey, yo, where are you going?
- Fuck off!
[groans]
[women screaming]
[strains]
[growls]
[grunts]
[man 3] Hey, hey, hey!
Leave him alone, you fat fuck!
[yells]
[groans]
[yells in pain]
[women scream]
[music stops]
[relaxed music playing]
[Joseph exhales]
Apple juice?
[laughs]
- I made it.
- Let's have a drink instead.
[chuckles] I shouldn't.
I've been dry ten years.
It's good.
- Latest batch.
- [Alina chuckles]
I feel like
there's gonna be trouble, Joseph.
Not for you.
I'll handle it.
[phone vibrates]
- [sighs]
- [phone vibrates]
[phone vibrates, beeps]
- [man] You got shit for brains?
- Rio.
- I heard what happened with the rapper.
- Yeah.
- [Rio] Come to the Red Salon, bring Alina.
- We're coming.
[Rio] Oh, could you get the
[hand break ratchets]
[breathes heavily]
[exhales, sniffs]
[tense music playing]
[keys rattle]
[muffled soul music playing]
[music continues over loudspeakers]
Hey.
[exhales]
Hey. He already asleep?
Yeah. Lately he's just been
staying up more and more.
I'm taking a shower.
I totally smell like zoo.
- [suspenseful music playing]
- [water flowing]
[woman] Charly? Are you coming
to the soccer game tomorrow?
[soft music playing in background]
[woman] Charly? Did you hear me?
[music continues]
[Charly] Of course, I'm comin'.
Hey, wait. I got something for you.
[romantic soul music playing]
[chuckles]
Oh, baby
[both laugh]
[both giggle]
Hey.
About what happened at the zoo
I feel kinda guilty.
Jonas has talked about nothing else.
You're officially the coolest person
in the world to him.
No, you're absolutely right.
It was really stupid.
I swear, I won't do it again.
- I won't.
- That's not what I meant.
- No, it was stupid.
- Hey, that's not what I meant.
- [Charly sighs]
- I followed you in.
Yeah.
But I think it's time you talked to him.
Talk to him?
About my past, or what? About prison or
Yeah.
You told me early on.
How long had we known each other?
Charly, he's ready.
- [exhales]
- He can handle it, babe.
And if you don't tell him soon,
he'll resent you for it.
Well
Well, first of all,
I've left all that shit behind me.
And secondly
I'd be sad if I wasn't
the coolest person in the world anymore.
- I'm sure you get that, too.
- Look at it this way. You made mistakes.
You were punished
and you learned your lesson.
It's not the worst example you can set.
At all.
[romantic music continues]
[Charly] Yeah.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
Come here.
[tense music playing]
[man 1] Keep your eyes open,
and don't let them in again, alright?
[man 2] You got it.
[suspenseful music continues]
- [man 1] Hey, Pepi.
- [Joseph] Hey.
[man 1] Hey, Alina. Go on in.
[muffled hip-hop music playing]
[music continues over loudspeakers]
What are you looking at? Go get changed.
You're working till seven.
[people chatter over music]
To the Big Guy?
[music echoes]
[hip-hop music fades]
[man] Your mother
she was a bona fide Viennese Prater whore.
[laughs]
[man] Everyone knows that.
A real Viennese piece of shit.
But she knew how to give head,
no question.
[laughs]
- Enjoyed it and was good at it.
- [chuckles]
That's a rare combination.
And now you love another whore?
You're a strange guy, I'll say that much.
Just to be clear,
you'll pay for the damage, for all of it.
And you won't drive Alina anymore.
None of the girls.
Is that a problem?
[tense music playing]
Nah.
[tense music continues]
Okay, Pepi, no hard feelings.
[Joseph breaks, shuts off engine]
[tense music continues]
[tense music fades]
- Hey, Zwanziger.
- Joseph.
[sniffs] Got a cig?
How's the Big Guy doing?
Cancer's making his brain eat itself.
How should he be doing?
Man can't even talk properly no more.
His speech center
[sighs]
[machine beeping]
[man] Karli?
I know we've always had our problems.
Difficulties.
But you know what?
You're still my brother.
And no matter what may happen,
you will always be my brother.
Karli, please.
I need you to sign
the inheritance contract.
You promised, remember?
I'll keep running the business
the same way you would.
In your memory.
What about the coin?
Yes, everything is going really well
with all that.
Stepan goes to Berlin and steals it,
my man Zwanziger collects it,
and brings it to Vienna.
And then the Russian buys it.
That's exactly how you envisioned
the entire operation,
but I need your signature.
[chuckles]
[brother] Why are you laughing?
[Karli] I wanna talk to Joseph.
Well, what can you do?
Shit in your hands and laugh.
- Yeah.
- The Big Guy wants to see you.
- [Joseph] Who? Me? What does he want?
- Don't ask stupid questions. Come on.
[ominous music playing]
[sniffs]
[men whispering]
[music fades]
What if those old rumors
are actually true after all?
- That Joseph is the Big Guy's bastard.
- Nonsense.
Even if he is
- You don't know what it says in his will.
- [brother] Nonsense!
Bastards don't get anything.
Not in this family.
[machine beeping]
Go ahead.
[sighs]
[chuckles]
Do you have a cigarette?
Listen to me carefully.
I'm going to die.
Soon.
And I want you to do
exactly what I'm about to tell you.
- Got that?
- Yeah.
I want you
to go into exile
in Burgenland, understand?
Stay there.
Keep your head down.
[pants]
Things are gonna go
to total shit in Vienna. [laughs]
Under no circumstances
are you to go to Berlin for anything.
- But I have to
- No matter what! Do as I say!
You must go into hiding!
- Is that clear?
- Yeah, yeah. I will. I will. I promise.
I promise.
[breathes heavily]
- [Karli chuckles]
- I have a question for you, sir.
Huh?
[soft music playing]
Is it true that you're my
[beeping continues]
- [soft music intensifies]
- [sobs]
- Did you get the signature?
- [brother] Not yet, but don't worry.
I'm taking care of it.
- Time is of the essence.
- Right.
- [music fades]
- [Joseph walks downstairs]
[brother] Well?
What did the Big Guy want from you?
Nothing.
I barely understood him.
He went in and out.
Joseph, there's something else.
Zwanziger, come here!
You're gonna drive to Berlin
with Zwanziger.
You'll pick up a coin
for the Big Guy there.
No, I can't.
Heinzi should go with Zwanziger.
That's what I wanted to tell you.
Right now, Margot needs a hand.
She's got a bad back.
[laughs]
I know that my brother asked
for one last wish.
The prized coin.
Everyone's doing their part,
but Mister Goody-Two-Shoes
He would rather
help out a mutilated whore.
She has no one to help her.
You know, Pepi
Margot's little injury
It could easily happen to Alina, too.
[ominous music playing]
- Okay.
- There we go.
You'll be Stepan's driver.
Zwanziger will be watching.
Stepan wants a deposit of 200,000,
and Rio will give you the cash.
As for the rest, it will be paid
once I receive the coin in Vienna.
[Rio] Stepan has partners in Berlin
who know nothing about the coin.
And we wanna keep it that way. So please,
keep your mouth shut when you're there.
So Alright, alright. Get moving,
get moving. The clock is ticking.
I have an appointment with the Russians.
They're serious people,
not the usual idiots.
- [tense music playing]
- [man 1] Wonder where they're going.
[man 2] Best not to ask.
- [sighs]
- [man 1] With Zwanziger, though?
[Zwanziger groans] Okay
Let's drive to fucking Berlin.
[sighs] Yeah.
[engine starts]
[tense music continues]
- [people cheering]
- [whistle blows]
Hey, are you okay?
Yeah. Of course.
Come on, Jonas! Keep going!
Yeah, man!
- [crowd applauds and cheers]
- [laughs]
Look, here you need to keep running.
- Or you're standing behind the opponent.
- Yeah.
Then you're free,
if you move to the right.
- Run further, they pass it to you.
- [Jonas] Yeah.
The coach said I can play again next week.
Really? Well, that's great!
Hear that? Starting eleven.
- Mm-hmm. I heard.
- [Charly] Yeah.
You just need to run a little, huh?
[doorbell rings]
Ah!
[in Italian accent] Pizza.
[Charly laughs]
And this guy can't do anything.
[cat meows]
[Henning] Oh, uh, sorry to bother you.
Are you a vet?
Your Your neighbor over there
told me you were.
Yeah?
I hit this cat as I was
turning the corner over there.
[woman] Oh, God. Uh, give it to me.
- [cat meows]
- Hello, you.
Hmm?
- I'll look at him.
- Oh, thanks.
Come on in.
- [Henning] Oh, I appreciate it.
- Let me look at your face.
[ominous music playing]
[woman] So, no pizza, we've got a patient.
What kind of patient?
- Let's set you down.
- [cat meows]
- Yeah, it's all good. Good.
- [Jonas] A cat.
- [cat meows]
- Hey, hello.
[Jonas] Hi.
- Jonas, grab my medical bag for me?
- [Jonas] Sure.
[Henning] The little guy
jumped out of the bushes,
- and I couldn't react quickly enough, and
- [woman] Can you hold him?
[Jonas] Is it okay?
- [woman] Well, let's find out.
- Ah. Hello.
- [cat hisses]
- [woman] Yeah, I know.
You don't like that.
Lungs are clear.
- [cat meows]
- That's good.
- Right
- [cat meows]
Is something broken?
[woman] Doesn't look like it.
Ribs feel okay, too.
- [Henning] Hmm.
- [cat meows]
[woman] Reflexes are working fine.
Right after I hit it, the poor thing was
just lying there, silent.
It wasn't moving at all.
[woman] Well, I don't see
any outward signs of abnormalities.
- [sighs in relief]
- [cat meows]
You didn't react badly at all.
[chuckles] I'm so glad you were here
to help with him.
Um, is there any way
I can repay my thanks?
No, don't be silly. I'll take it with me
to my practice tomorrow.
We'll scan the chip,
and hopefully, we'll find your owner, huh?
- [cat purrs]
- [woman] Come here.
There you go.
Out back, we've got a box.
Can you help me?
- [Jonas] But, can't he sleep in my room?
- [woman] Absolutely not, Jonas.
- Thanks. Thanks a lot.
- [door opens]
Hey.
[door closes]
[ominous music playing]
I already said no.
Get out.
Declining is not an option.
Tomorrow morning, 6:30.
Out.
You've got a gorgeous home.
Uh, it's gonna take us all day and night.
You'd better think of a good excuse.

I know what you want to talk about.
Everything's been said.
I steal you a coin that's worth millions.
With my bare hands.
And this is my thanks? Huh?

You stole a coin from a museum.
That was
an insanely risky thing to do, brother.
Everyone knows it was us.
The coin is worth nothing now. Nothing!
Every last cop in the city is chasing us.
The whole fucking police force.
If the coin is worth nothing,
then just give it back!
It belongs to me! I stole it with Tarek.
Okay? We did that.
Give me back my coin!
The only reason I won't be punishing you
is because you're my little brother.
And I love your passion.
Do you understand?
But, brother
You need to think, and also listen.
Fuck thinking, fuck listening to you,
and fuck your love, got it?
Go fuck yourself!
- Fuck me, brother?
- Yeah. Yeah!

Teach him some respect for family.

Right.
It's either the "Secure,"
